tccutt 6 afr fo pan « .ast Spring, thanks to the efforts of Coach Jack Schles- inger, the Hammond High School golf team got together for the first time in four years. Coach Schlesinger is a former HHS student, and a member of the 1976 golf team. As a result, he has a very good way of work- ing with young golfers. After two months of practice, the team was ready. Armed with self- confidence and a lot of pride, the team went on to have an almost undefeated season (That is they only defeated one team.) In spite of that fact, the team thought those were the best three months of the year. Look- ing out for next year, they have three returning Varsity players that are very determined, and with the coaching of Mr. Schles- inger, things are looking very good.

cvene 6a£te t he 1985 baseball team had their share of ups and downs. Even though their record was 10 and 16 with two ties, it was pretty good for first year coaches. After the retirement of Mr. Strater, Mr. Buckley took over the varsity team and Mr. Malis was his assistant. The Wildcats beat the Indiana Lake Shore Conference rivals, Morton, Gavit, Whiting, Clark, and Roosevelt, and tied Bishop Noll for the conference championship. Team captain Tom Dorton earned conference infielder and M.V.P. He ended his outstand- ing senior year by hitting two back to back homeruns. Regardless of Tom ' s and fellow teammates efforts, they lost to Clark and were eliminated from the state play-offs. The Junior Varsity had a record of 4 wins and 3 losses. Considering the young players and new coach, they were very successful. OPPONENT HHS OPP.
