Seeger Qiainrg It was a far seeing little group of young people, who met in the office of Dr. L. R. Leach one summer day in '81, called there by Frank P. Leach of the same class, for the purpose of forming the Alumni Association of Hamburg High School. Six members comprised the entire body, but the spirit and vision of those young men and women bridged thc years in imagination until they saw the membership swell into hundreds, as class after class finished thc prescribed courses and added their names to the list. Class of '82 soon came with the unprecedented number of seven members which so drained the High School that 1883 found no one quite prepared to finish. From 18811 however, the number of graduates has steadily increased and this year sees fifty-two ready to take leave of their Alma Mater. The Alumni Association has each year held some sort of a social event in order to welcome the new members and reunite old classmates and friends. Banquets and formal receptions were some of the pleasures that were offered. A few years ago a few members conceived the idea that an Alumni Association should stand for something other than a mere social organization. A meeting was lueld in the main room of the Old High School, a committee was appointed to draft a plan for an annual speaking contest, and the plan now in force was adopted. Today the Alumni Association is a real live organization composed of over five hundred members-an organization that stands for higher ideals and higher education-a support to the High School faculty in all its attempts of progression, and a credit to the village.
