High school Hall of Fame BESIDE SETTING A NEW TOWN MARK OF 6 FT Slam Fon me mon Jump ALTON WAS A iz FT POLEVAULTER AND A is FLAT men HURDLER AND ALSO EARNED ALL EASTERN MARINE +loNons AS A FOOTBALL 'mcicte ' - 1 Butt Clorrnv- JORDAN HIGHS CITY HIGH JUMP RECORD HOLDER ALTDN ly MORY KAP? Sing low and swing high watch your crescendo and crash the end-o! A Thats the merry motto of Jordans Alton Hamil- ton air-warbling, air-piercing star of high jump pole vault high hurdles- And football. Alton whose name aptly stands for height is the 6-lt. 8-in. 195-pound spike-ologist who sprang to a. new city high jump record of 6 lt. 5-5, . last May- I A summit 55 inches higher than the apex which had withstood 10 years of challenge. With the historic lsvitation the buoyant Bulldog ascended into the Hall of Fame but coach Bill Zazueta confidently demurred. Hold him up. Alton will be sure to add more laurels in football this fall, he said. Fulfilled prediction And under new mentor Frank Cullom Alton ful- filled Zazueta's prediction by winning honors as a first team all-Eastem-Marine tackle who also ca- vorted at end. He was used against the enemys strong side on defense as a tackle-eligible on of- tense, And this guy wasnt even interested in football until he was prevailed upon as a junior to go out for the sport. But Hamilton is the kind of character who doesn t realize his own strength. For instance, when he fashioned the fresh metro- politan acme of 6 ft. 535 in. he was the most sur- prised individual in the Coliseum. Alton not only did not know at uhat measure- ment he was jumping-he also wasnt aware he was the only one left, that the others had gone out at 6 ft. 3 ln. He was too busy running to and from the pole vault pit into which he had qualified by vying for the league crown with his teammate Ernest Carson. Where many athletes might have used that en- ergy-consuming extra activity as an alibi Alton and Zazueta agreed it was an aid. It kept llamll- Q ton warmed up and kept his heart from blowing up. If 1 d had any notion I was heading for a record chuckles Alton 'I d have exploded with excitement. At any rate the brilliant Bulldog who had dead- locked for the loop tltle at 8 It. 2M ln. wlth Nar- bonnes deluxe Bob Daliguey went on to gain a. . runnerup share in the state meet at 6 it. 8 ln. with that same Gaucho sparkler. Hamilton hummed in the Eastern-Marine finals. Splitting two Eastern-Marine championships the long-striding Jordan ace was on the way to a third in the high hurdles when he spilled over the next to last hurdle. ln fact over the entire league season during which he entered three events every meet-pole vault high jump high hurdles--Alton suffered ' only four setbacks. Three of them were by team- mates two resulted from falling. Revealed early promise Hamilton revealed promise as a 165-pound sopho- more when he ventured out only in the pole vault and reached 12 feet. But lo and behold as a junior he showed up weighing 215 pounds! He had been living off the fat of the land and it showed in his track performances. He couldn t top 11-6. This term he was in shape-a ship ready to sail to far ports with Zazueta s fleet of speed merchants. He hit 6-599 in high jump 12-2 in the pole vault and 15-flat in the hurdles. Alton's not one or those athletes who have all their Interests locked up in a gym locker. I-les vice president of the Senior A class vice prexy of the Senior choir ln which he slugs second bass tand makes many 5 smooth slldej, and alter school he holds down two jobs. One is during the week as playground recreation leader and the other is on weekends at an automo- bile wash rack. Alton wants to be a machinist a trade in which vocational tests disclose his aptitude. It is certain that for whatever job he tums his hand or lathe to, this pride of Jordan will have a high standard. i By Ethel Anderson Hello Girls This week I have some of the most talked about fashions in town With the Xmas season making it s yearly debut around town, it has left us with some pretty winter fashions I cou.ldn't help noticing Gladis Heath looking neat in a yel low camel s hair shortie Claud ena Smith can be seen showing off the latest in those fashionable gray toppers Betty Johnson and Margaret Brooks are wearing some some snazzy turtle neck sweaters.
