' ZOctdcafo Stni6e out ayaiu he 1985 Lady Wildcats softball team will have to try again next year for a winning season. The Lady Wildcats started remarkably well, then fell into a slump near the end of the season. Although their record may not show it, much improvement has been made such as, batting and fielding averages have increased and the teams attitude has improved. Even though the team has few wins the Lady Wildcats were pleased because they defeated some of the top teams in their conference. The 1985 season also brought about the first I.H.S.A.A. Softball Sectionals, which Hammond High hosted. The team captain for the 1985 season was D. Ball and M.V.P. was Bonnie Kizman. OPPONENT HHS OPP.

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.

(face e£ieve c ut achieve y n May 15, 1985 current National Honor Society Members; Mrs. Anna Urick, the Honor Society sponsor; and families and friends gathered to watch the induction of the new Honor Society Members. To be a member of the Na- tional Honor Society you must be a junior or senior with a grade point average of 4.0 or better. This does not automatically make you a member. Selection is made by the faculty and is based on not only scholarship, but leader- ship, character, and service. Most people believe that to be a member of the society you must be a bookworm.” This is not true. Many members are ac- tive participants in sports, and are members of various clubs and groups. Looking anxious, the new Honor Society members wait to sign the registration. While Annette Marzocchi signs the registration, Clarissa Barkey and Dale Alexander watch to see how it is done. National Honor Society President, Portia Fultz is being inducted by Jimmy Jones. 18 Spring NHS
