o The Dunes in published annually for the student body of Hammond High School of Hammond, Indiana Lois Rock, Editor Dick Dyer, Business Manager Copyright 1947 let's live IU)C The theme of the 1947 Dunes, “Let’s Live,” has a message of great value for the student. Since 1941, when war was thrust upon us, the youth of our country has talked about, thought about, and experienced death. Now it is time for us to live. Now the time has come for us to plan to live and to grow, to develop a stable philosophy, to forget about the here-today-gone-tomorrow thinking of the war days, and to plan for permanence and peace. The world now has a choice to make. It can put its new found power to work for man and make the world a better place in which to live, or it can let this power destroy man. There is not much question about what the people of the world want, but there is a great deal of question about how we can reach our goal of peace and brotherhood. Education is the key to that goal. Education is for those who wish to use their knowledge not only for their own benefit but also for the benefit of all the citizens of the world. In a greater sense education is needed for all the people so that they will come to realize that their selfish ideas will only lead to misery not only for their victims but also for themselves in the end. Our time for destruction is past and we are growing up. It is time for us to build and create the finer things that we did without during the war years. Education can help us by teaching the fundamentals of government and history that we may profit by the mistakes and successes of the past, by presenting for our consideration the problems which confront us and by giving us an understanding of the scientific world so that we know better how to cooperate with the natural laws of the universe. Besides factual information, education teaches us initiative, to be original, to express our ideas, and to appreciate the beautiful and good. Such education is important to the intelligent, thinking citizen of tomorrow if he would live abundantly. We must be natural, thoughtful, kind, and adult, but through the coming years, “Let’s Live.” hammond high school four high pays tribute to mr. spohn Come Dunes-time again, it is good to renew our appreciation of one who has lived among us and served the youth of this community for more than thirty- five years. Our beloved principal. Mr. August L. Spohn, came ' to Hammond High School in 1906 as head of the Depart- ment of English. In this position he served for six years. After an interim of teaching in Minneapolis, he returned to H. H. S. in 1919 as principal. Since that time, his guidance and in- fluence have contributed largely to mak- ing our school the great school that it is. While we know our school must be the center of Mr. Spohn’s activity, his interests have reached out in many di- rections. He is a member of the Judd Club a group of leading educators in and about Chicago, a member of the Prairie Club of Chicago, and a charter member of the Hammond Kiwanis Club. Moreover, he is one of the most respect- ed and influencia! citizens of Hammond. Under his calm and steady hand, H. H. S. has weathered both the Depression, when her enrollment almost doubled and classrooms were crowded to the walls, and World War II, when the school, though under staffed, gladly as- sumed its responsibility in helping to win the war. In such crises Mr. Spohn showed his strength as a leader. Yes. Mr Spohn, though we should see this old world crack and tumble about us, you have given us cause to believe that your spirit of firmness in the right ,as you have taught us to see it, will go marching right on, forever identified in our hearts with dear old H. H. S. mr. a. I. spohn, principal hammond high school hammond high educates to live Hammond High veterans and the service flag. Last minute briefing before the game six Administration Personnel Mr. A.

That question is “How can we win world peace?” It is believed that complete understanding of the ideas and ideals of people of other countries would send us along the right road to world peace. In order that this understanding of other people may be gained, we, the youth of our nation, must master the essentials of our own language, so that we may present a united front to other nations and be so united in our own country. By studying the languages of foreign nations, we will be better equipped to understand their customs, government, prejudices, way of living and working, and economic way of life. Everyone in this way can practice international fellowship and bring the nations of the world together in a peaceful way. The language department of Hammond High offers the oppor- tunity to the students to learn those things which will aid in our struggle for that world peace. In public speaking classes. National Forensic League, and debate, students are given the opportunity to develop their talents for oratoric expression. Dramatics is offered to the interested student in the form of the annual fall and senior plays, and in auditorium programs. The printing classes enable boys to learn the ground work of linotype and press work. The field of writing is covered by various groups. In journalism classes students are taught the principles of modern-day newspaper and magazine writing. The Calumet Herald, which is the school bi-weekly paper, affords a place where the students may apply the fundamentals of newspaper work. The Bohemian Club was created for those interested in furthering their talent of creative writing. The school year book, “The Dunes,” is published yearly to give the students pleasure in later years to remember their school days. This book is published by the students and e> receive a first hand view of both the editorial and business slants of the publishing business. The composition and literature classes aid in teaching the basic rules of the English language, e essentials of writing, and an interpretation and understanding of life through the reading of literary masterpieces. Before this year, composition and literature have been taught separately; now, starting in the freshmen classes these two subjects are to be merged. The library gives aid to students on reference work for their various classes and also serves as a source of good reading material. It also provides the students working there with experience in library work. The Spanish Club, the German Club, and the Junior Classical League give access to the deeper study of foreign languages and give the student abetter background for his knowledge. To effect a deeper understanding of other nations, Miss Kessing organized an after school, purely elective, class in French. There were twenty-five in the class. The Language Arts Departments are helping the students acquire the skills of our own language and those of other nations. Miss Bollenbach, English and personnel; Miss Buck, Latin.

The club is composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have submitted one of their own original manuscripts. These manuscripts are then read by a committee which decides whether the applicant will be admitted to the club. During the meetings, contributions of the mem- bers are read and discussed among the members who offer constructive criticism. One of the high-spots of this year was a talk given by Miss Helen Kennedy on the many forms and styles of writing poetry. The officers elected for the first and second sem esters respectively were Dorothy Gill and Angeline Roknick, president; Marilyn Pelhand, vice-president; Betty Lee Larson and Nadine Muri, secretary-treas- urer. Miss Helen McCullough was the faculty sponsor. library staff Peace, quiet, references, and enjoyable reading material are found in the library. Directed by Miss Hawver, librarian, the desk helpers and room work- ers assist students and keep the library in order, while the hall librarians go to the library to fill the requests of the study hall students. A desk helper, room worker, and typist are on duty each period and receive five-tenths of a credit per semester for their appreciated help. A study hall librarian and assistant are appointed in every study hall. The library bulletin board was in the charge of Phoebe Seitzinger. Books, magazine subscriptions, or money dona- tions are received in the library each year as gifts from school clubs, organizations, and the senior class.

One of the most important changes this year was the switching from a weekly to a bi-weekly publica- tion necessitated by the newsprint shortage and print- ing difficulties. Senior staff members included Charlotte Bayton, editor-in-chief assisted by Carol Zimmerman; Dolores Benne served as make-up editor; Cathryn Dingwall, feature editor; Beatrice Skufakiss and Jackie Abott, news editors; Mike Korba, sports editor; Jim Dye, Stanley Podlach, Duane Dickinson and Sam Papa, contributors. The business staff was headed this year by Ray Charleston, business manager. Helen Armstrong, ad manager, was assisted by Mary Rotas and Agnes Benko. Roy Charleston was in charge of circulation. The Herald was supervised by Mr. A. T. Bolt. Five staff members were admitted to Quill and Scroll, a national honorary society for high school journalists. They were Charlotte Bayton. Carol Zim- merman. Mike Korba, Dolores Benne, and Dorothy Gill. Subscriptions to the Herald were rationed and because of the newsprint shorage only 1100 were sold. The junior staff published one issue and the journ- alism class published one, leaving the seniors free to work on the special graduation issue, the last edition of the year. In choosing next year’s staff, those eligible will be required to take an examination. * «» 1 Mr. Bolt, editorial advisor of the Calumet Herald m >i HERALD EDITORIAL STAFF Row I — Benne, Muri, Skufakiss.

During two morning meetings, held in the girls’ gym, members of the club practiced German folk dances, and played “Schlagball” (the German equivalent of baseball). German folk songs, a report on the collecting of German stamps, a vocabulary building game, and a quiz on German topics formed the basis of other club meetings. On the evening of Halloween the club enjoyed a “Masfest” and dancing to the music of the “Hungry Five”. Christmas was celebrated in the style of German family tradition, with all members of the club taking part in a program under the tree. The officers for the year were president, Jim Qualkin- bush; vice-president, Vera Rohrberg; treasurer, Ruth Bondy; secretary, first and second semester respectively, Maxine knorr and Robert Harakel ; sergeant at arms, first semester, Dick Watkins and second semester, Larry Stevesand. Miss Schuelke was the sponsor for this club. Spanish club The members of the Spanish Club speak only Spanish in their meetings. The students in this way learn to speak Spanish easily, and the language becomes more interesting. On December the fourth, the club sponsored a chili supper with the Pan-American Club. During the semesters they attended Spanish movies. They studied the customs and homelife of Spanish speaking countries. They sang Spanish songs and tried to imagine the girls and boys of other countries as they sang. Mike Korba was the president; Pat Lowden, vice-pres- ident; Thelma Hill, secretary; and Robert Johns, treasurer. Helen Hitt was secretary for the second semester. new after school french class This year an after school French Class was organized. The class met every Wednesday with Miss Kessing as the sponsor. Madamoiselle Zidan, a native French girl attended the meetings and helped the students to learn the correct pronunciation of the language. The students also learned to sing many French songs and studied the customs of France. The members of the class were Jacqueline Greenlee, Therese Ingold, Marie Helene Eidam, Mariette Korellis, Janice Lowden, Yvette Barber, Adele Bashore. Licette Hitt, Charlotte Bayton, Juliette Jones, Louise Skaggs, Babette Bement, Denise Richards, Jeanne Clancy, and Emilie Orr. the jr. classical league The Junior Classical League is a National Institution, and Indiana is one of the state members. There are fifty- one members in Hammond High. During the four meetings this year, the League enjoyed programs dealing with the Latin language and old Roman customs and games.

Every generation is taught the principles of government so that when it is their time they may be able to run the government to their full capacity and ability. We learn by experience, and by knowing the faults of our forefathers we can benefit by them and use them to advantage. It is to our avail to know the ways of the federal, state, and city governments. Through the various social study classes offered at Hammond High, students are able to learn about our national government and the govern- ments of other nations. The Association is a legislative, executive, and judicial branch of our student government, run like the departments of our federal government. The Association is composed of the House, which is made up of student representatives from each advisory, and the Senate, consisting of three senators from the junior and senior classes and two senators from each of the freshman and sophomore classes. The Court reprimands student misbehavior and is headed by a judge from each class. Monitors see that student property is not tampered with and they also check admits of students and keep the halls in order. The Junior Red Cross promotes friendship among the countries of the world, and tries to help those who need the small necessities that the students are able to provide. It contains one representative from each advisory. The Hi-Y is a national organization for boys whose aim is “To create, maintain, and extend through out the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Design for Living is a new club this year in the social and home economics field for both boys and girlst The members discuss various social and family relationships during the meetings and try to improve social conditions of all kinds.

Early Monday morning the students, of whom most were dressed in purple and white, gathered in front of the school for a short program which featured the students’ pledge, the raising of the flag and the Star Spangled Banner. At three o’clock Monday afternoon the student body met on the south end of the football field for a rally. John Wilhelm, the first president of the Hammond High association, and Judge Stanley Tweedle, who was also a past president, spoke on the subject of student government. Tuesday was perhaps the most unique day of the week because it was "Spruce up Day.” All the girls donned their favorite pair of nylons and the boys struggled with white shirts and ties. The special interest clubs planned programs dealing with the association and on this day visitors were allowed in the club rooms. Another feature of the day was a banquet winch was given for the different divisions of the association. The purpose of the day was to dress up the student body as well as the school building. „ Wednesday was set aside as ‘Get acquainted Day. In the many advisories tags were distributed among the siidents who wrote their names in the space provided. The aim of all the students was to meet as many new people as possible. Wednesday was also student teacher day when the teacher took a seat and turned over the class to the ‘student teacher.” Four colors predominated on Thursday when the differ- ent classes wore their traditional colors. The freshmen wore their bright green, the sophomores wore blue, the juniors wore red and the seniors wore their regal purple. An Auditorium session was presented by the Speech Arts Club on Thursday also. Two classes attended the auditorium session while the remaining two attended class meetings. In the senior class meeting the Senior Banquet was discussed. In the other class meetings nominations were made for class senators. . The week was concluded on Friday with “Wildcat Carnival.” The featured acts of the evening were the fortune teller, the chalk talk, vaudeville, and dancing.

It is run on the same prin- ciples and system as our federal government. The legislative branch has both a House and a Senate. The House is composed of one representative from each advisory, who reports the activity of the House to the students in his advisory, and the opinions and wishes of the students to the House. The House is sponsored by Mr Lundgren. The upper house is the Senate. The junior and senior classes have three Senators each while the underclassmen are represented in this body by two Senators for each class. These Senators, who are chosen by an election, act on bills, amendments, etc., which are important to the student consti- tution. Miss Strange is the sponsor of the Senate. The officers of the Association are as follows: president, Tom Turner; vice-president, Ben Christopher: recorder, Bar- bara Goff. The president was assisted by the cabinet consisting of: George Callantine, secretarv of student activities; Dick Dyer, secretary of student discipline ; Evelyn Hudson, secretary of student safety: Shirley Lafferty, secretary of Red Cross; Loretta Dilts, secretary of student publicity. The Court, which acts on student misdemeanors, was headed by Dick Dyer. The senior judge was Emma Jean Orr, junior judge was Dave Ogren, sophomore judge was Tom Hayden, and freshman judge was Steve Markovich. This year the major activities of the Association were the sponsoring of the paper drive, the annual Christmas tree, and the all school talent show which was presented in March. When polio struck two students of Hammond High, Nancy Freeman and Sam Walkoff, the Association started a drive for money which was to be spent for some gifts which the victims of infantile paralysis would enjoy.

During the school year, the Red Cross sent one hundred gift boxes to needy children overseas. Letters of appreciation have been received from many of the children. At Christmas, the club bought and wrapped a gift for each woman at the County Home at Crown Point in addition to sending bushels of apples to the Home. The Red Cross made a contribution of $5.00 toward a wheel chair, and $75.00 to the National Children’s Fund, which helps children in need any place in the world. At Easter, with the help of the Spanish classes, and the art department, they decorated fifty Easter eggs for the County Home. Shirley Lafferty, who was the secretary of the Red Cross in the Association, acted as chairman. Miss Kay Williams is sponsor of the group. monitors The Monitors of Hammond High School are not, as many students suppose, “old meanies”. They are appointed to protect students’ and school property. Their principle job is to check lockers so that stu- dent’s property will be unmolested. The Monitors check students’ admits to see that they are supposed to be in the halls. They keep order in the halls for the students’ safety. They help visitors who come to the school and need help. The Secretary of Student Safety this year was Evelyn Hudson.

The mathematics courses of Hammond High are extensive. In the college preparatory division, two years of algebra, one year of plane geometry, one semester of solid geometry, and a semester of trigonometry are offered with the addition of a senior math course which is a refresher of the first years of algebra and geometry. The commercial students are offered bookkeeping, business mathematics, and general mathematics. The science department of Hammond High offers the following courses: biology, physics, chemistry, foods and clothing. It is the aim of this depart- ment to prepare the students for college science, to give the students an understanding and working knowledge of laboratory method, to acquaint the student with his environment and to give him an appreciation of the discoveries which have been made in science. The foods classes enable the girls to gain a knowledge of the basic methods of preparing and planning meals. The clothing classes give the girls an opportunity to make garments under supervision. In the process of making the garments the students learn many of the fine points in making attractive clothing. The Biology Club was created to give the students interested in the growth, structure, and hab- its of plants and animals a further chance to develop their skills and knowledge. Some students interested in physics and chemistry are given the opportunity to further their laboratory experiences by becoming laboratory assistants. Mathematics and sciences of all types are taking an increasingly important part in our world system. It is an established fact that the atomic power will determine our way of hie. It this is true, we must have capable people to control this giantic power. seventy MATHEMATICS & SCIENCE TEACHERS Seated: Miss Deane, school nurse; Miss K. Williams; Mis?

The commercial department of Hammond High has as its aim the aiding of students in their struggle to gain a working knowledge of vocational skills, theories, and general education. There are many courses offered to the student which will aid him in the work day business world. The clerical practice classes introduce the student to the technical skills of operating business machines such as adding machines and comptometers. The stenography classes give the students the fundamentals of typing and the system of shorthand. These skills are piacticed daily. Other classes that offer business training and experience are business law and bookkeeping. The Commercial Club was created to give the interested students the opportunity to put into practice thetheories and skills of good business work. The book room lends the students a further opportunity to put into practice the various types ot knowledge they have acquired in their courses. The business world is perhaps one of the most important groups of our economic system.

Directed by the sponsor, Miss E. Anderson; and the president, Berdie Warner; the vice- p resident, Lottie Tybik; and the secretary treasurer; Mary Jane Juliasz, the club members practiced the pointers which a good business worker must have. Since spelling is important to attain success in this field, a series of spell-down contests were held. The highlight of the club’s activities was a break- fast held at school in the month of October. bookroom staff School supplies, money transactions and business training are the specialties of the bookroom. Under the direction of Mr. Fruehling and Mr. Rupp, the staff has always served the student body and faculty efficiently. The members of the bookroom staff were assigned with definite duties. Viola Kifer was the special accounts bookkeeper; Gladys Kniaz had the super- vision of books; bank statement reconciliations were taken care of by David Ballard; Alice Barney was supervisor of the special work, such as fees and tardies; Katie Stuart checked the original books with the journal and checked the reports of the general bookkeeper and the person balancing the cash box; Shirley Eberle made the treasurer’s report; Doreen Robinson checked the cash box and printing; Margaret Abatie acted as check writer; Jim Slover was in charge of supplies and of keeping the book- store in order; Helen Matovina took care of filings, the entry and stamping of new sheets of the books, and the checking of the journal with the ledger.

They learn how to manipulate the Burro’s calculator, the • fluid duplicator, the ditto machine, the mimeograph, the adding machines, and the cash register. They also learn filing and how to speak correctly over the telephone.

The fine arts and music departments of Hammond High offer many op- portunities to students interested in vocal, and orchestral music as well as many types of art interpretation. The Arts and Crafts Club was organized to give those students with talent the opportunity to further express their artistic ability. In this cui the members work on commercial, modern, and realistic ait. The Girls’ Chorus and Boys’ Chorus are the beginning groups for those students interested in developing their voices. The Girls Glee Club is made up of girls who have been promoted from the Girls Chorus or who come from one of the Hammond junior high schools. In past years the Triple Trio has been the highest aim of the girls in the various vocal groups, but this year due to the fact that there were so many girls eligible for the Triple Trio, a second group was formed which is still a higher aim for the girls. This last group was named the Senior Octette . Only senior girls may belong to this group. Both of the groups are made up of girls who have voices which blend well with others. The “Barber Shop Quartette” is a group of boys who have entertained the student body in many auditorium sessions. The A Cappella Choir is a combined group of boys and girls and is the most advanced group in the music department. Its members come mostly from the junior and senior classes. The Junior Band is the beginning group for those interested in orchestral music. This year, for the first time, the Junior Band presented an auditorium session. The Senior Band which is composed of student. who have Been promoted from the Junior Band, maintained timir high standard, in music. The, presented many enter!., mug show, durtng the half „me of many of our football games. This year the Orchestra presented two concerts, one in the fall ; another in the spring. Art and music are international strings with which we can draw the “‘j 0 " 5 » f A' X^stuto" “ f/ ttVIn 8 tlteir effort to bring about world unity. seventy-eight the barber shop quartette The Barber Shop Quartette, whose members are Roy Charleston, Norman Cox, Leonard Olsen, and Dave Kelly, was originated at Edison Junior High School in 1943, when it was featured in a Stamp and Bond show. Under the direction of Miss Waterbury, the Quartette appeared at Penny’s department store and at various civic meetings. W hen they appeared at auditorium sessions, this group never failed to enter- tain and amuse the student body. girls' glee club Members of the Girls’ Glee Club are chosen from all four classes. Girls with acceptable voices are eligible for this group. Usually they come up from one of the junior high schools. This year the Glee Club participated in the annual Christmas program. The City Music Festival, Civic Choral Christmas Concert, and many of the auditorium sessions. The group was sponsored and directed by Miss Esther Waterbury. Joyce Miller was elected president; Jerrie Walls, secretary; Athene Kouris, treasurer, Marie Crooks and Magdalena Bauer were music librarians. Anne Wittchen was the accompanist. a cappella choir The A Cappella Choir is the most advanced vocal group in the music department of Hammond High. It is a mixed choir composed almost entirely of juniors and seniors. Members of this group are required to have had at least one year of vocal training. They also must pass an individual test before they are ad- mitted to the choir. In addition to singing at many auditorium sessions, they sang for the Rotary Club and Kiwanis Club on different occasions. During the Christmas season the group played an impressive part in the annual Christmas program. At the popular request of the student body, they again presented Fred Waring’s arrangement of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” They also sang the traditional Christmas carols at Minas’ department store. The choir elected as their president Ed Kennel 1. Herb Siegler was chosen to fill the position of secre- tary. Harriet Malde acted as treasurer; Pat Freeman w'as librarian; and Norma Piatt was the accompanist for the choir. Miss Esther Waterbury was the sponsor and director of this group. art student wins award In the Harry Doehla Art Competition, Mary Opat, 9A of Hammond High, won a $100 bond for her design in the State-wide competition. Those who received honorable mention in the contest were Eliz- abeth Burns. Norberta Krawczyk, Mary Anne McMinds, Donna Marie Casey, Mary Louise George, Constance Smith, Bob Marsh, Audrey Campbell, Marlene Ann Budd, Robert Church, Donald G. Hillbrandt, and Rich- ard Abel. arts and crafts club The Arts and Crafts Club had a combination of educational and social activities during the year to add to the clubs activities. The old members, using a Chine e theme, held a colorful and successful initiation banquet in December for the new members. The club had movies on techniques, skills, and materials. The graphic process was illustrated by lithography. Working with materials was demonstrated by a^ Puppet Show. "The World of Tomorrow” fore- saw building and transportation conditions in I960. “Housing Todav” gave many helps on the conditions of the home. These movies helped deepen and widen the students’ interests in the various paths of art. During other meetings the program chairman planned problems in contour drawing, ink blots, and the cutting of animals from aluminum paper as experiences for the members. The club made wall decorations for the Junior Red Cross. They stenciled Christmas cards which they sold, the funds being used for charitable donations and the purchasing of equipment for the art depart- ment. The club officers were president, Hal Hester; vice- president, Louise Chandler; secretary-treasurer, Carol Spoerner. The club sponsor, Olga M. Schubkegel. had the high recognition of being elected president of the Western Arts Association for 1946. One of the duties of Miss Schubkegel this year was to create a theme for the W.A.A. annual convention which was held in Cleveland. The theme was selected as the expression of the awakened arts to supply the demands of contemporary society. The theme, “The Expanding Arts ... Is Education Keeping Pace”, may well point the way for the endeavor of the Arts and Crafts Club; to sow creative abilities in the student so that they are at home with the earth, their hands, and their minds, and with their fellow men.

Any student is eligible for one of these, providing he or she is able to pass cerain singing requirements. The members of the Girl’s Chorus elected Phyllis Cheekas, president of the organization. Gaithel Allen was chosen treasurer; Charlotte Uhle was secretary; and Shirley Harris was music librarian. Norma Piatt provided the piano accompaniment. The Boys’ Chorus chose Kenneth Thomas for pres- ident; Dean Kothlow for treasurer; Donald Scherer for secretary; Donald Lannan for the music librarian. Miss Waterbury directed both these groups in the Christmas program, the Spring Concert, the all-city Music Festival and the various auditorium programs. triple trio and senior octette In past years the Triple Trio has been the highest aim of the girls in the various vocal groups. The members are chosen by Miss Waterbury for their individual voices and suitable blending nuality. This year an unusual situation arose when Miss Waterbury found that more than nine girls were eligible for the Triple Trio. In order to give all the girls equal opportunity, she formed a second group of senior girls which was named The Senior Octette. The members of this group were Pat Eaton, Jeannine Lute, Katie Mendius, Marie Mulholland, Georgine Phillips, JoAnne Reed, Joanne Rhind, and Lois Rock. The members of the Triple Trio this year were Ruth Black, Marlene Budd, Janet Frentz. Thelma Hill, Eve June Koon, Lora Ann Maybaum, Virginia Markir, Joyce Miller, and Ruth Tanasijevich. The Senior Octette sang at the Optimist’s Town Hall, and the Hoosier Art Salon. Both groups sang for the Women’s Club, Munster Panhellenic, and various church groups. instrumental department 1946-47 was the season that the instrumental department of Hammond High School tried to stress the importance of music in solo and ensemble work, and tried to achieve greater sucesses than had been achieved in previous years. For the first time since before the war the city contests had been reorganized and the Hammond High School organizations made good showings in the contests. The Band Parents Organization was started also and with it came representation of the bands and orchestra. There was a president, and a secretary from each school group. They were the representatives of the student organizations at the Band Parents Meetings. President for the Senior Band was George Callentine; the secretary was Marilyn LaForce; the president of the Junior Band was Dorothy Ellis; and the secretary w'as Pat Townsend. The main project of the organiza- tion was to secure new uniforms for the band. The group suceeded in getting the Hammond Civic Organ- ization’s support on this. Senior Band — The band gave clever performances at the foot- ball games. The dancing horse Magnolia, the clown, and the acrobats stole the show at the “Hammond High One Ring Circus”. That too was the time the lights went out all over the field and the band, each member of which had an individual cap light scared the spectators with their skeletons, witches, and black cats on Hallowe’en. Then came the Christmas season and the Hammond High Band marched down to meet Santa Claus when he came in on the Monon. The band marched for several parades in ’46-’47 and the promise of new uniforms acted as an incentive for some snappy marching. For the basketball games the booster band was reorganized to add pep to the games. During the season the band kept up its usual high standards of musicianship and good all round entertainment. At the time of publication the band was making plans for its Spring Concert but no reports on the outcome were available. Junior Band — The Junior Band really shone during the 1946-47 season. For the first time they put on an auditorium session and it will always be remembered for its “Harem Girl” dancer, and the “Guest Conductor ’. In the football season too the Junior Band helped the Senior Band put on the shows and did a lot of work to make the shows successful. In the concerts of 1946-47., the Junior Band put on performances of very fine pieces of work and added specialty numbers that were very clever. Orchestra — In the Fall concert of 1946 the orchestra made its first appearance in formals. Color and interests were added to the performance by the pretty, pastel colored gowns. The orchestra as a group attended a Chicago Symphony Concert in the fall and in the spring the organization attended the Metropolitan Opera when it came to Chicago. These trips were very educational and were enjoyed by all who attended them. In the Spring Concert of 1947 the orchestra put on a very special performance that we hope will be repeated in years to come.

It is through these two mediums that the students make friends and gam a better understanding of one another. If this is true in high school, the same principle could hold true in world organization. The first sport of the school year starts in the early fall when the football team don their uniforms and run out on the field to meet their opponents. This year, while the students cheered them on, the football team won 7 and lost only 2 games. The next sport to come to the attention of the student body, was the so called “Hoosier Madness”, basketball. During the season the “Wildcats won 24 and lost 3 games. Before the basketball tournament started, Hammond High was tied with Washington of East Chicago for first in the Northwestern Conference. Last fall the swimmers dived into the pool and kept the water flying until early spring. In the course of the months the team gained in strength. Besides the winning of many individual honors, the team brought the Northern Indiana High School Conference championship back to Hammond High. For both of the above mentioned sports, the cheerleaders were out in front of the crowd urging victory with bigger and louder yells. Early in the spring the lower halls were filled with boys in track clothes. The “Thinlies” won one of the largest indoor meets bringing glory to Hammond High. Jack Blair broke the state indoor record for the broad jump. Baseball, the great American sport, is also represented at Hammond High. This year the baseball team played out a full schedule of eighteen games. In the spring they entered NIHSC competition. The tennis team of Hammond High was composed for the most part of underclassmen who will be back next year swinging their rackets for Hammond High. This year they won the Western Division Conference crown and won six of their conference games. The »olf team won five matches against Hammond schools this year. Golf is started in the fall and is resumed early in the spring. The golf season was terminated by a state wide match which was held at Indianapolis on May twenty-fourth. This year an old organization was started again at Hammond High. This was the H-Men’s Club. The members of this club must have earned a major letter. The club is in charge of the banquets at the end of each sport season. The “Federation of Managers” is composed of the managers of the various sports. These managers run the team and take care of the equipment. The girls of Hammond High do not by-pass sports. Many of the girls participate in volleyball, swimming, basketball, tennis, archery, ping-pong, and other sports. The school provides the student body with many other forms of recreation. These are in the form of school-sponsored dances, parties, and auditorium sessions. The people of the world have had enough of war and misery, now it is time for them to relax and have a good time. They may find this recreation and good time in sports either by participation or by being a spectator. Now that the Olympic games are again going to be held, the people from all nations will have the opportunity to be with, come to know, and understand the people of different nations.

This victory gave coach Nelson his first victory as head coach of Hammond High. The Rough Riders annexed their third straight victory at the expense of an inspired Hammond High 15 to 7. Hammond fumbled in the opening minutes of the game and this combined with a blocked kick helped Roosevelt jump off to a nine point lead. The remainder of the game was hard fought, with both lines stopping opposing backs with very little gain. Hammond jumped back into the win column by w inning a nip and tuck battle with East Chicago W ash- ington 14 to 13. Walter Bogielski gave the W ildcats their winning touchdown with an eighty-yard dash. Andres then added his second, and winning extra point of the night. Gary Emerson handed the Wildcats their second and final defeat of the ’46 campaign with a 19 to 14 score. Combined with the aid of playing on their own field and Hammond High’s fumbles, the Norsemen gained an early lead which they never relinquished. Coach Nelson was able to air many of his backs and line men who thus far had seen very little action since the Central game, as the “Catmen' trampled Val- poraiso 38 to 0. A hard fighting Whiting eleven was handed defeat by a superior Cat team winning their fourth game. Captain Larry Andres and Sheldon Spungen showed great running ability in racking up a 14 to 0 score. Hammond marched on towards a city championship by downing the favored George Rogers Clark team 21 to 13. The Cats overwhelmed the Pioneers in every vital department making four times as many first downs, piling up nineteen times as much yardage from scrimmage and generally pushing the Pioneers around. Clark’s two tallies came after blocking two Hammond punts. In a round robin free-for-all Hammond’s gridmen defeated Lew Wallace 20 to 6. Lew Wallace gave the Hammond rooters a scare by passing their way to a tally in the opening minutes of the game. Matters were soon brought under control by Hammond’s gridmen as they gained victory Without the aid of two Hammond varsity men, the Wildcats sorely dubbed city rival Hammond Tech. Hammond High’s power was too much for Tech’s Tigers as the Cats rolled to their 6th Western Division win against one loss. As the Cats bowled over Tech, 32-0, they assured themselves of second place with Gary Tolleston in the Western Division. FOOTBALL SQUAD Name Position Class Wt. Ht.

It proved to be a fight right to the wire with Blair scoring the winning tally with seconds to go. After holding a very brief lead, Hammond Tech found the going too hot to handle and fell to defeat by one sided score of 49-35. A last minute rally by George Rogers Clark was staved off by the Kingmen to gain their third straight victory of the year. Jeffersonville gained a 17 to 4 lead over our boys in the first eight minutes of play only to be out-scored 17 to 2 in the second period. The southern quintet also finished on the short end of the score. A tall Tolleston five found both height and speed too much as they fell before Hammond at the Civic Center. Hammond’s Christmas present to Thornton Fractional was a good lesson on how to play basketball. Fractional did not learn very fast because they came out on the short end of a 37-23 score. The Holiday Tournament brought many a surprise. Once more Tech found the going too rough and were downed in their first game by the Wildcats. The hard- wood boys threw away a big lead and lost a heartbreaker to South Bend Central by only one point. Central was downed by Elkhart. Valparaiso came to Hammond to meet sure defeat, but took it with a fighting heart. Horace Mann gave little trouble after the opening minutes of the game. A very good zone defense used by Gary Emerson gave our round ball boys a big time of it until the final minutes of the game. Emerson proved this by winning the Gary sectional. Next to fall before the Hammond boys was Lew Wallace. The game of the year for Hammond High was played at E. C. Washington and turned out to be our second defeat of the year. Ft. Wayne Central helped Hammond to get on the winning side of the game while a new scoring record was set for the Civic Center. Hammond Tech. George Rogers Clark, and Gary Froebel were next to fall before the fighting Wildcats. The last game of the year was a revenge game with Benton Harbor of Michigan. Hammond went into tourney play with 19 wins and only 3 losses. Lowell and Dyer were easy marks for the boys from Hammond. Clark proved they had that never say die” fight in them as they led by a point at one time and gave Hammond fans quite a scare. The last game of the year was the defeat by E. C. Washington in sectional play. basketball roster Blair — A consistent menace to all Hammond foes. He made the most of his great rebounding ability. Metikosh — His coolness under fire proved to be the winning factor in many a game. Flashy ball handling made him a favorite with the fans. McCain — A hard driving senior who finishes a fine three years of playing basketball for D.O.H.H.S. Sobek— A senior with great stamina and drive who gave the team that extra punch when needed. Morfas — A 6’3” junior who is incomparable as a defensive rebound man. Will show as a great center next year. Neidow — His never say die spirit was of great value to the team. Babcock— Rugged junior with great rebounding ability. He could always be counted on for that extra point. Anderson — A big boy who did a big job this year. Watch him next year. Spungen — Hard driving forward who showed the true “fighting Wildcat spirit”.

The score of 41-22 will tell its own story. South Bend Central played host to our splashers in their next meet. Central met with even less success as Hammond won 46-20. The swimmers continued their winning ways by downing an oil city rival, Whiting. At the meet’s end we had 16 more points than they and victory was ours. Thornton Fractional was intent on gaining at least a better score for themselves. The end was almost inter- changeable save one point more for us. Once more South Bend Central went down before the hard swimming Hammond men. Although the boys were at home, they did not do quite as well as before. Victory number seven came at the expense of F,. C. Washington. This also was a wide margin as was the win over Horace Mann in the next meet. After Horace Mann, came win number 2 over E. C. Washington. Next, the splashers invaded the Horace Mann pool to meet their first and only defeat of the year at the hands of a previously downed foe. Whiting once again fell before the watermen to round out a very successful swimming year. Finishing their first year under the handling of Mr. Papais, the Hammond “water-waltzers ’ looked back over a season’s record of 9 wins and only one loss and they found themselves champions of the N.I.H.S.C. Hammond was first with 38 points; South Bend Central was close behind with 35 points. In an auditorium program, as a formal close of the season, coach Papais summarized each boy’s work for the year and his work in the conference meet.

E. Overman, showed great promise for next year in winning all six of their conference starts. They also walked off with the Western Division crown of the NIHSC. Their only defeats were non-conference games, a very strong Blue Island squad handing our boys these two defeats. Teams to fall before the Hammond racketmen were E. C. Washington twice, 4-1, 4-0; E. C. Roosevelt twice, 3-1, 3-1; and George Rogers Clark, 6-1, 7-0. This year’s team was composed almost entirely of underclassmen; the only one not returning next year is Earl Peschke. With all but one of this year’s lettermen coming back next year the team should give Hammond a better record. Men earning H’s are ranked as follows on the squad: Allan Wenner, Earl Peschke, Melvin Ein, Morton, Bacon, Skippy Clark, Ronald Barnes, and Jere Hein.

In another meet at Notre Dame the Purple scored a sweeping victory as Blair broke the state outdoor broad- jump with a 221/2 foot jump. In their first home outdoor meet Hammond’s trackmen showed their heels to city rivals Tech and Clark. Both Froehel and Thornton Fractional felt the weight of Hammond runners. Each meet was won by a large score. Most of the points gained by Hammond came on first or second places. The Purple with 45 points was defeated by Gary Roosevelt with 54i/> points at the Goshen Relays. Bent on revenge Hammond High’s trackmen tangled with Gary Roosevelt and came out on the long end of a 62 to 46 score. In winning, the Wildcats placed first in 9 of 13 events. The biggest point total came in the shotput where Blackburn’s winning 47-42'/) effort placed his Wildcats. Bill Hunt and Larry Andres placed second and third to make a clean sweep of the event. Revenge was sweet to the “Cats” after taking their only defeat to date at the hands of these same Panthers in the Goshen relays. cross country duel H.H.S. 15 Whiting 57 Clark 56 H.H.S. 30 Gary Edison 25 H.H.S. 25 Tech 39 H.H.S. 23 Hobart 32 H.H.S.

Covault 3.20, and Magda 4.85. Hammond won its closest meet as it posted a one point victory over Gary Roosevelt in winning the East Chicago relays. This was the Wildcat’s seventh w r in in seven years. After unofficial tabulations were in, Hammond found itself on the underside of a 76 17/22 to 76 3/11 score. An error in tabulations changed the team s standing and gave Hammond victory once again by a 77.27 to 76.27 score. The one needed point came when it was discovered that John Routa was not listed as placing in the pole vault. Firsts were posted by Harper in the High jump with a distance of 5’6”; Bogielski, in the broad jump with a distance of 21’21/ 2 ”; Blackburn in the shot put with a distance of 48’ll/>”; Bogielski, Thomas.

Seconds were taken by Molen in the mile run; Dye in the 120 yard low hurdles; Routa in the pole vault; and Wright in the high jump. Bogielski won a third place in the 220 yard dash. Hammond High won second place in the state meet at Indianapolis. In the annual conference cross country meet, Hammond defeated Mishawaka and North Fort Wayne squads. Mishawaka was state co-champion and N.F.^ . was runner- up. (Conference score, H.H.S. 68, NFW 73, M: 76:1 The H.H.S. cross country men opened their 1946 season with a fast 15 to 57 defeat of Whiting. Then came Hammond’s first and only defeat of 30 to 25. The long distance men came back to hand Hammond Tech and Clark both good defeats and show their mastery of the city. Hobart was next on Hammond’s meet list and also was next on her defeat list. Horace Mann fell 16 '/o to 551/2 before the fast team. In Hammond’s last meet Gary Roosevelt came close to Hammond with a 25 to 30 score. In its first large meet, the Hobart Invitational, Hammond finished third. About this time the state meet came along. Hammond finished fifth because of a little bad luck.

The service groups of Hammond High take care of these necessary details. In the kitchen of Hammond High there are several ladies who work steadily to feed the student body and faculty of our school. It is their job to prepare those “specials” that we all devour at one time or another. The students also work in the cafeteria as cooks’ helpers, cashiers, or bookkeepers. This is valuable training for those interested in dietetics, or culi- nary work. Both of these groups are supervised by Miss MacIntyre, who heads the cafeteria staffs. The nurse’s staff, which is headed by Miss Deane, administers aid to all our aches and pains. During the year this group has undertaken the giving of vaccinations, patch tests, and physical examinations. The boys we saw stepping around with the air of efficiency during fire drills were the student fire marshals. These boys were instructed in the safety measures that should be taken in case of fire and were assigned strategic posts so that they would be on hand in case of emergency. During the war years the stamp and bond committee did its best in the selling of savings stamps and bonds in the advisories. This year this same plan was continued until the second semester when the plan was changed. The students now purchase stamps and bonds in the bookroom. The visual aids department makes possible the showing of movies to the •students. The operators are trained not only to run the movie projectors but also to operate the public speaking system in the auditorium. The social representatives are a service group which is composed of vol- unteer students who are interested in presenting school dances and parties. Be- cause of their efforts many good times have been had by the students of Hammond High. The maintenance department is responsible for keeping up the appearance and condition of Hammond High. The people employed by this department are the ones who have the class rooms spic and span when we come back in the morning after we had left them in a rather sorry state the afternoon before. The grounds around the building are kept up by Mr Kuhn. The office staff answers all the questions asked by the most frightened freshman to the most lofty senior. The office staff has its hands full with such things as attendance, report cards, senior averages, college applications, diploma lists, and many other routine office duties. The office is the center of operations which is so necessary in all organiations. All of the above mentioned service groups are working together to make our school efficiently run and beautiful. If we can capture some of their spirit of cooperation and loyalty, we will have a valuable asset for gaining the peace. one hundred and sixteen Above: Cafeteria Cooks Mrs. Mrs. Ban, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Dobrzynski.

Lollock, iss MacIntyre, cafeteria supervisor one hundred and seventeen stamps & bonds Stamps and bonds were sold in the advisories during the first semester as they had been in the war years. The publicity committee was composed of Miss E. McCullough and Rita Sachs who took care of the sale of stamps and bonds through write-ups in the announce- ments. Miss Johnston was chairman of the financial commit- tee. It handled the money and distributed the stamps and bonds. The members handled the money and dis- tributed the stamps and bonds. The members of this group were Beverly Norden, chairman; Barbara Tanke, Barbara Bement, Ruth Finchum, Eilesn Matz, and Zoe Beverly Kaasa. The second semester, a new idea was incorporated. There was no more selling of stamps and bond:, in the advisories. Instead, the students went to the book- store and purchased them there. In this way, the idea of thrift and saving for the future was effected. social reps planned many parlies This year students who enjoyed working and planning for the parties and the dances of the school year joined the Social Workers Club, called the Social Reps. There were several committees chosen to plan and carry out these affairs. The committees and their chairmen were refreshment, headed by Larry Clement; decoration, with Jane Haney as chairman; entertainment, with Norman Zizoff. The clean-up committee was worked on by the entire club. The officers for this year were George Callantine, president; and Jerrie Hayden, secretary. During the school year there were five after school dances given. The first dance of the season was given after our football game with Whiting on October 18. The next affair was a semi-formal dance called River Boat Rendezvous on November 23. Another after game dance was held after our basket- ball game with Tech on December 6. The Ghost of Hammond High School had a birthday party given for him on December 13. The name of the ghost is Louie and he is 300 years old. Louie’s Day was a big success. After the mid-semester exams Headache’s Relief, Jan- uary 29, was given to help students recuperate from exams. Another party, Wildcat Mix-up, came on March 21. Spring Fantasie was a semi-formal dance held at the Civic Center on April 19. The last party of the year was the Wildcat Carnival sponsored by the Social Reps. The Carnival was just what the name implied and it included side shows, games, dancing and all the things the students love to do. Thus ended a year of fun and amusement and it was all sponsored by the social representatives and Mr. Muri, faculty advisor. nurse's staff Aches and pains were analyzed by an efficient staff under Miss Helen Deane, the school nurse. Vaccinations, patch tests, and physical examinations were administered during the semesters and minor catastrophes were taken care of. The girls who aided Miss Deane were Marlene Build, Dolores Darling, Jean Davis, Vivian Freeman Joan Gas- key, Barbara Harlerode, Evangeline Hashen, Eleanor Kuchus, Joan Malacinal, Joan Marsh. Ruth Norris, Shirley Stocker, Cecila Tancredi, and Betty Volkmnn.

Harold Riggs was the student in charge and was responsible for the training of new operators. This year the Visual Aids department presented, for their annual auditorium session, a movie named “America, The Beautiful” which showed the most scenic spots of our country. The program was concluded with a com- munity sing. The boys who operated the movie projectors this year were Harold Riggs, Jack Beardsley, Coriss Beck, Art Blankenberg.

One of these changes was the group named Student Fire Marshals. The selected boys for this group were in- structed in the fundamentals of fire fighting. It was the job of these boys to take their posts, which were strategically placed in the building, to see that all exits were available, and to keep as mdch order as possible among the students leaving the building whether it be a fire drill or a real fire.

In 1945, Willard Louis Wheeler, president of the Electro- Matic Engraving Company brought about an innovation in photo-engraving . . . The Electro-Matic Infra-red Burn-in Oven. This new process, instead of frying the plate, bakes it “in," leaving a finer, more life like illustration on copper to give you the better quality which this invention affords. This oven is accepted nationally for its excellence and acclaimed as the best development in photo-engraving in a decade. It was used along with all our other modern equipment in the Electro-Matic plant in the production of the fine photo- engravings in your yearbook. You can be sure of intelligence in handling of yearbook problems, and the ultimate in reproductive values at Electro- Matic.
