Hammond High Seize I Uzrzf gh E715 yea COMPILED BY MARILYN MCLEAN We wish to express our appreciation to Mrs. Howard Easter, Mr. R. G. Rupp, Mrs. William Bar- den, Mrs. W. A. Hill, and Mrs. O. C. Matthies for their cooperation in the preparation of this history of Hammond High School. Hammond High School was organized in 1884 with only a few students doing freshman work. The course offered was but three years in length, and in- cluded comparatively few subjects. The curriculum for the freshman year was algebra, physical geography, English composition, and civil government. The subjects embraced in the second year were algebra, English composition, physiology, and physics. The third year consisted of rhetoric, general history, ge- ometry and botany. Superintendent XV. C. Belman did most of the teaching for many years. His policy was to give a more thorough and comprehensive study of a few subjects instead of a scattered knowledge of many subjects. The subject most concentrated on was English-composition and literature. In june of 1887 the first graduation exercises were held in the Hohman Opera House. Three young ladies constituted this class-Edna Smith, Clara Mashino, and Sarah Martelook. Two of these women are living at the present time. On the Friday eve- ning following the graduation the faculty entertained the class at a reception, and on Saturday the three women met and organized the Alumni Association. The present membership of the Alumni Association, in comparison with the initial membership, is ap- proximately eight thousand. In the fall of 1890 XV. J. Maxwell was made principal of Hammond High.

The room which ac- commodated the seventh and eighth grades and the high school was divided so as to form a recitation room for the high school students. During those years there were no library or laboratory facilities--everything depended on teacher and text-book. The class of 1892 was the largest one up to that time-seven in number. Previous classes had an average of three members each. In the spring of '93 the old frame building on the corner of Hohman Avenue and Fayette Street was begun. This building was later moved to Russell Street and is now occupied by Technical-Vocational High School students. For a whole year, while the new school was be- ing built, the high school classes met in various
