Record Since 1949 The 1960-61 addition of the Hammond Tech Tigers was one of the most interesting to represent the school in a long, long time, according to Coach George Bereolos. This year’s team compiled the best won and lost record for varsity play since 1949. The fine play of Dave Anderson, Pat Mikulski, and Mike Williams enabled the Tigers to impress all oponents in our region. The winning of the Huntington Tournament established the ’61 quintet as one of the formidable clubs in the region. The team’s final status would have been enhanced greatly had not the loss of Jorge Ortegon taken place in December. To return from the tournament squad for the 1961-62 season were Deleas Littlejohn, Mike Williams, Joe Czarnki, Ron Walsh, and Don Bjork. COACH BEREOLOS injected strategy and spirit into the Tigers during a time-out. A TIME-OUT ASSEMBLY.

DOWLING • First in FASHION • First in QUALITY • First in SERVICE 137 MAYOR The young people you see in these pictures are all on their way to successful careers in one of America’s basic industries . . . steel. They decided (as we hope you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help them plan their future. Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe- cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car- penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing lines. Still others are working in laboratories building a sound foundation for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his education. Employees may participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro- grams, or they can continue their formal education by registering for evening courses offered by local Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers. Plan now to investigate the unlimited opportunities for you in steel . . . with the midwest’s own steel company . . . inland steel.
