HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL ANNUA L Grinds of 1911 Have you ever heard of a walking dictionary ? If not hap- pen up'at the H. H. S. some day and we will introduce you to the fa- mous William Walrath. Sometimes I think he is too smart for this world. The distance that divides him from his schoolmates is too great, henceforth his pathway lies among the stars. I know a youth fair to see, take care; He can both false and friendly be, beware ! Trust him not, he is fooling thee. He has two eyes so soft and blue, take care, He gives a sidelong glance, but never looks at you, beware ! Trust him not, he is fooling you. And he has hair of a golden hue, take care; And what he says is not true, beware ! Alice he is fooling you. So amiable, so wise, so good and true, How can this curly head carry it through ? So industrious, so faithful, she’s a marvel in her way. We are sure she will do us honor on her graduation day. Maimie Young. Prof, in Ancient history class, “Dean let me see your map of the Roman Empire.” Dean hands him his note book. Prof. ‘ ‘See here Dean, you will have to interpret this for me. ” Dean looks at map and says, “Well, no wonder you can’t tell what it is, you are holding it upside down.” One evening last week we lost young Curly, And always before he’d been in so early, We looked on the flat and looked on the hill, And at last we found him on the street by the mill. As I sit me here and ponder, I can tell by Merril’s looks, That his thoughts have surely wandered, To the little laughing Brooks. Laura Banford delights in building air castles, chiefly with Brick.
