Making Sport History 1961 was a top year in Hammond High School’s sports history; varsity teams took top honors. Our football eleven won state; the basketball team reach- ed the Sectional semi-final. Swimming, golf, wrest- ling, tennis and track enjoyed good seasons. Athletics is a word at Hammond High which includes both the teams and the rooting sections. This word has been built on a firm foundation of good sportsmanship and powerful competition. Names echoing through the years like Thornton, Nelson, Cornwell, Papais, the Kucers, Krueger, and Huffine are but a few who gave the Purple the pres- tige that it enjoys today. Hammond High School is proud of its traditions founded years ago and con- tinued into the present-traditions which have helped to make the 1960-61 year one of the finest athletic seasons in the school’s rich history.

Ball Na . I Junior and senior class officers and their dates line up to lead the Grand March, which is the highlight of the Junior Prom night. The 1960 Prom was the cli- max of months of hard work by junior class committees and class sponsors, Miss Mae Kessing and Mr. Jay Wood. No one who attended “Bali Ha’i” will ever forget danc- ing to the music of Pat De Mure and his fabulous band, or having dinner at Chicago restaurants, and picnicking the next day at the dunes, even though it was raining. Juniors and Seniors agree, “We’ve never attended any party that was more fun.” No matter how you look at it, the Prom was a big suc- cess. Sophomores Leslie Malo and Paula Van Horn serve refreshments to Jean Hoover and Nick Gasparovic as the couple takes a break from dancing. Page Nineteen
