Experience is the harvest of life and every harvest is the result of a sowing. The ex- perience which young people most crave is that of success in some service for which they are naturally fitted. They wish it at once because youth wish- es to touch a magic button and command success without ap- prenticeship. What the newspaper is to the general community, the school paper is to the school community. Both publications possess uncommon interest to their readers by the printing of news items, stories and tales of humour and woe. One in- fluences mature minds; the other influences the youthful minds. The school paper has one distinct advantage: it is the product of its readers. CHOOSING A VOCATION The choosing of one's career is of great importance. It has been proved in many cases that the vocation often chooses the person, instead of the per- DOES EDUCATION PAY ? What a question ? Does it pay to prepare the ground before sowing the seed ? Does it pay to polish the precious stone before market- ing it ? Does it pay to sharpen the tools before working with them ? Does it pay to have a mind rather than to be a mere ani- mal and to think with a train- ed mind ? Does it pay to make the most of the faculties with which God has endowed one, or let them remain dormant ? HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS • THE GHOST OF WILLOW GLEN Willow Glen was the name of a large vacant house situat- ed upon Pine Hill, near Stam- ford. Nobody lived in it for it was said to have been haunt- ed ever since its owner had died. Stories were rumored about that the deceased owner, Mr. Smith, came back every night at 12 :00 o'clock and went through the mansion looking in every room. Three girls and I decided that we would go to Willow Glen and find out what the ghost really was. Helen, Dor- is, Hazel and I set out in Hel- en's car one bright, sunny morning in June. We were prepared to stay at least two months, if necessary. We traveled all that day and night and reached Pine Hill about ten o'clock the next morning. First we set up our tent and put things in readiness for that night. We thought that it would be better for us to sleep in our tent for a few nights and discover what we could from the outside of the house and later explore the interior. Our first and second nights passed without any excitement in the house. We took turns sitting up during the night and watching it. On the third night, during Helen's watch, she saw a light flash in the window upstairs. She immed- iately aroused the rest of us and we decided that now was our chance to begin exploring the interior. We put on our soft-soled slippers, armed our- selves with flashlights, and started. We had no difficulty in get- ting into the house as the cell- ar door was open. It was very still until we reached the sec- ond floor, then we could hear footsteps which seemed to be coming downstairs, so we hid behind some boxes and waited. The ghost went back into the attic so we followed. We man- aged to get into the room next to the attic and on to the roof, which shaded the porch down- stairs and was directly in the front of the attic window. 1 From here we got a view of, the “ghost. He was a man of about thirty-five years of age, very tall and homely with a deep scar across one cheek. He was dressed in a dark .suit and carried a flashlight. Look- ing closer we discovered that he was taking out some bricks HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS from the chimney. After he had accomplished this he left the room. As soon as he was gone we began to discuss what we had better do—watch him as long as possible or go for a sheriff. Finally we decided that we would stay where we were and find ouj: what we could before getting help. Presently the man came back carrying a tin box, which he at once thrust into the hole in the chimney. Next he put the bricks back in place and left the room. We waited on the roof and soon we saw him coming out of the cellar door which hap- pened to be on the same side of the house. The man stop- ped, looked all about him, and then ran into the nearby bush. We then hurried downstairs, took Helen's car and went into town for the sheriff. We ar- oused him from sleep and told him of our discovery. He did not seem very an- xious to come with us but we finally persuaded him to do so. We drove to the house and showed him where we had seen the man put the box. He removed the bricks and took out the box. When he opened it we found that it was filled with precious jewels. The sheriff, upon examining the chimney, found more holes which also contained boxes of jewels. He told us that we had made a great discovery, and asked us to help him to catch the thief the following night. We caught the thief just as he was about to enter the door He confessed that he had been stealing jewels for the past five years and had used Will- ow Glen as a place to hide them. The news of our dis- covery spread very rapidly, and as soon as the jewels were returned to their owners and the thief put in jail, we were awarded eight hundred doll- ars, which we divided equally. Ella Mae Carter. THE BEAVER Last summer I had the pri- vilege of visiting a colony of beavers which was situated in the foothills of the Adiron- dacks. The beavers made their home in a small creek which they had dammed. It was about four feet high and extended in arcs for about one hundred and fifty feet. The trees that HAMMOND' HIGH HAPPENINGS bordered this creek had been cut down by the beavers and used to make the dam. In cutting down the trees they gnawed them so that they would fall in the water. On my trip I saw a tree about 18 inches in diameter which had been cut down by these ani- mals. When a tree has been cut down it is then cut into short pieces and floated to the dam. A beaver house, which in shape resembles an Eskimo's igloo, is a large structure and is about eight feet in height and twenty-five feet in circum- ference. The entrances to the houses are made under water. As the streams are frozen over in winter the beaver has to pre pare food for this season. He stores poplar sticks in his home and also sinks them to the bot- tom of the creek. During my visit to this col- ony I'saw about eighteen bea- vers. They were swimming around in the water and look- ing for something to eat. When a beaver hears some- one approaching he slaps his tail, which is about ten inches long and five inches wide, up- on the water with a resound- ing whack, which warns the other beavers. If you stand perfectly still a beaver will •£' sometimes come near you. I A was fortunate enough once to get within six feet of one. -x A beaver has a fine fur that is worth from fifty to sixty'dol- lars. It is on account of their value that beavers are becom- ing extinct. Because of the scarcity of beavers laws have . been passed prohibiting the killing, of them in certain sec- tions of the country. Maurice Edgar. EDITH CAVELL Edith Cavell was a young English nurse in Brussels at the outbreak of the world war. She performed her work with amazing success until the Ger- mans took the city. Twenty thousand Germans then took up quarters within the city of Brussels. Edith Cavell, however, was allowed to stay and care for the wound- ed soldiers. Her letters give one the impression that she felt very sorry for the young Germans, who she asserted, did not wish to fight. Edith, however, aided sever- al Belgian and French troops in escaping. One day German soldiers burst into the room HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS and led her off to prison. For two months the young nurse was kept within the gray stone walls without trial. The trial and execution were to take place ip quick succession in case the young woman was convicted. As she entered the court ro0m alone and afraid, many an old soldier thought of the wrong about to be com- mitted. Several times tears welled in the eyes of the war tired veterans as the trial con- tinued. Throughout the or- deal Mi s Cavell never denied her guilt. After being sentenced to die she walked from the court room with a steady step. Her shattered nerves, however, could sthnd the strain no long- er and she swooned. A young German captain advanced and sent a merciful bullet through her head. Marshall Tyler. QUEER PETS I HAVE HAD God's creatures sometimes have peculiarities which dis- tinguish them from their fel- low creatures. I have had sev- eral of these animals for pets. They ar , some of them, ludi- crous in the extreme, while some of them impress one with their gentle pathos. I once had a pure white cat with black rings around his eyes and back over his ears, so that it gave him the appear- ance at a little distance, of an old man with black rimmed glasses. That was not the only peculiarity that “Zike” as I called him, had. In addition to his glasses he had six toes on each front foot and seven on each hind one, instead of the usual five. I also had a white mouse with a forked tail. To the gen- tle reader who thinks that my mouse must have been an imp of satan, I wish to say that in fact, he was quite the contrary I never saw a better behaved mouse. His tail was not very long, but about half an inch from the end it branched out into a beautiful black fork, which contrasted strangely with his white body. Such freaks of nature seem to be wrought with danger and bad luck, for my cat got run over by an automobile and my mother rocked on my mouse. The other pets, with peculiar- ities, were not as striking as these two and were more pa- thetic, for they were handi- capped. —Donald Ellsworth. r Front Row—Ida Charter, Preceptress; A. D.

Virginia entered last Sep- tember at the age of twelve. She is now carrying six sub- jects with credit. There are some of us who wish we were more like her. The oldest pupil is Floyd Hunter. He is a freshman al- though he entered in 1928. It is hard to choose the best read pupil. However, Donald MacLachlan seems to have the most scientific knowledge, and Marshall Tyler, historic and Donald Ellsworth, ficticious. Without much competition Floyd Allen is the tallest per- son in the school. He and How- ard as “Gander” and “Goslin” are a very popular duo. Ruth Nicol is most active in school affairs. She is editor-in chief of the school paper, sec- retary of the senior class and cheer leader, as well as a prom- inent figure in nearly all of the other school activities. Donald Ellsworth, who lives several miles beyond Rossie, comes the farthest distance. Perhaps this accounts for his being absent and late so many times. Floyd Hunter lives nearest the school. How we envy him on a rainy day. Isabelle Moore has the larg- est number of relatives in the school. There are in all 12 of her kinsmen. In a quarrel she ought to have pretty good, sup- port. Bill Massey is the water route boy. About half the dis- tance he comes to school is. by water. He lives on Oak Island on the St. Lawrence and we admire his courage at certain times of the year. Floyd Hunter is the violin artist. Occasionally he gives us one of his programs. Arthur Howie is the . cham- pion hot dog eater. At a weinie roast last fall he ate twenty- ten with rolls. When he left us we expected never to see him alive. However, he was present at school next day, ap- parently none the worse for his unusual diet. Donald Dunham was our basket ball team's high point getter. He made 52 points. Never mind your snickers. We HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS are thankful for small favors. Our basket ball team sticks to the end. This was shown by the way the boys “stuck” to the car coming from Morris- town last winter, during a big snow storm, while a road was being shoveled for them. —Erva McLear.

ATPILETICS Our basket ball season of 1929-30 has been unsuccessful as far as winning games has been concerned. We occupied the cellar position from start to finish, without even a close competitor. Dishonor, however does not rest on the losers as long as they are good losers. The season opened on our home court with Waddington as our first opponent. We lost the game after a hard struggle, and the following week we dropped another to Richville at Richville. The third game was a contest with Heuvelton and resulted in an- other defeat. From then on, our team ran the gauntlet, los- ing games at every turn. The teams belonging to the St. Lawrence Valley League were as follows: Waddington, Rensselaer Falls, Richville, Heuvelton, Brier Hill, Morris- town, Madrid and Hammond. In a tournament held at Og- densburg Heuvelton won the cup as champions of the Val- ley League and Rensselaer Falls captured second place. Morristown and Brier Hill al- so participated the first night of play but were rooted out by their superior opponents. Our team was coached by Rev. W. Halbert Campbell, who worked faithfully with the boys. However, he was unable to bring out a winning team, due to the fact that he had no experienced or veteran players to serve as a nucleus around which to build a strong .aggre- gation. Nevertheless, we feel that’ we have been winners in more ways than one. We have had. a good time,- seen some clean, fast basket ball, and received some good lessons in sports- m ansh i p. We are not h ard losers as has been shown by the spirit of our team, which fought desperately to the last, even in the face of overwhel- ming defeat. With our present experience and with the larger and better hall being constructed by the Knox Class, we expect to pre- sent a stronger team next sea- son. :i Little can be said about, our baseball activities, as little had been done at the time our paper was sent to the press. It would seem, however, that Arthur Howie is our only hope for a pitcher, and he now- promises to be second only to the great Walter Johnson. HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS Vincent Felt and Mtalcolm Bar- ney are contesting for the re- ceiving position behind the plate, while it is quite prob- able that Donald Dunham will be selected to hold down the first sack. Cyril McDougall has all the qualities of a star outfielder, but he will un- doubtedly resume his old posi- tion as shortstop. We all join in wishing our team a successful season. —Marshall Tyler. THIS AND THAT No adjective in “Webster's Unabridged Dictionary could express our surprise and then disgust oiie morning when we noticed something on the bill- board which read : “Students are not allowed to go in and out the front door except when going out in line. A. Northrup, Principal. We were actually in misery as we had to use our super- fluous energy in walking around to the side of the school and then up two or three flights of stairs. Is it any wonder that we do not get our lessons? It is our hope that sometime in the near fu- ture this proclamation will be repealed. Students of H. H. S. Question—Which one of Tennyson's poems does Jean Stiles prefer? Answer—The coming of Ar- thur. Albert Simons nearly threw up his job as janitor the other day. When someone asked him why he said : “I’m honest and won't stand being slurred. If I find a pencil or a handker- chief about the school when I'm sweeping I hang or put it up. Mr. Northrup or someone who is too cowardly to face me will give me a slur. “A little while ago I saw on the board, 'Find the least com- mon multiple.’ Well I looked from cellar to garret for that thing and I wouldn't know the thing if I'd meet it on the street. Last night in big writ- ing on the blackboard it said, ‘Find the greatest common divisor.' Well, I says to my- self, both of them things is lost now and I’ll be accused of tak- ing them so I'll quit. A friend is the first one who steps in after the whole world has stepped out. Do you know that you real- ly don't know how much you have to know to know how lit- tle you know ? Question—Which one of HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS Tennyson's poems does Leah Bates like best? Answer—The passing of Ar- thur. An optimist is a man who never stops to open a sand- wich. Some folks won't mind their business, The reason is, you'll find, They either have no business Or else they have no mind. The present indications are that Joseph Hague will leave large footprints in the sands of time. GLEANINGS OF WISDOM At fifty Noah Webster be- gan his study of seventeen lan- guages. At fifty-seven Voltaire did his greatest thinking. After seventy Vanderbilt developed the railroads of Am- erica. At eighty Gladstone made his way to the head of the gov- ernment for the fourth time. At eighty-six Tom Scott be- gan his study of the Hebrew. At a hundred and three Che- vruel, the famous French ar- tist, was doing his best. We all wonder what Floyd Hunter will do. SCHOOL NOTES Mr. B. A. McCormick of the State Department inspected the school last fall. His report of our school was very satisfac- tory. The heating system has been improved, much to the regret of many pupils, as it has.elim- inated the half holidays which were enjoyed in former years. Our laboratory has been the scene of much improvement as we have been lucky to get new apparatus for the classes. Our chemist, Mr. Northrup, has de- tected a formula that prevents acids from eating wood. Our table has been covered with it and proves satisfactory. Our library (alias reception room) has many new and re- bound books which are inter- esting. A new set of scales is also in the room and everyone has been weighed a number of times, with the exception of one teacher. I wonder who ? The ditto machine, another new addition, is a constant source of worry for the stu- dents. It makes it much eas- ier for the teachers to make out tests. These are usually accompanied by a small note at the bottom of the page say: ing: “Below 75 per cent— HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS special work after school.” A report of the January re- gents’ examinations showed us that all of the papers were ac- cepted and few of the marks were changed. We have had numerous pro- grams on Friday morning, put on by different classes and rooms. These were very good and enjoyed by all. A certain disease called the “mumps” has been entertained by about half of our pupils. From all reports I judge that this malady was not as enjoy- able as it might have been. A representative of the Par- is Photo .Studio of Ogdensburg visited our school on April 1st and took pictures of all the pu- pils and teachers. Quite an ap- propriate day for such an event. There was a rush when they arrived as everyone want- ed some one else’s picture. It is reported that many of the boys and some of the girls should have ordered more than six pictures. The students were very for- tunate on April 28th in being able to see the eclipse of the sun. A 4-H Club has just recently been formed in this district. It is a good project and pro- motes great interest in farm- ing. We hope that this club will have many successful boys and girls in the contests that are held. Miss Charter a teacher in the Academic department spent a week in Albany during the Easter vacation. The students having perfect attendance for this year, up to date are Delbert Sayles and Florence Nicol. Those who have been present every day are Roscoe Pilger, Leah Bates, Doris Foote, Bessie Miller and Ruth Nicol. Evelyn Goodwin won the con- test that was held in order to find a name for our paper. Mr. Northrup spent his Eas- ter vacation in the Adiron- dacks, trout fishing. Itus said that the only bite he got was frost-bite, as the lakes and ponds were forzen over. It is very odd that he does not seem over-anxious to tell about his luck. The Misses McClellands also went fishing during the Easter vacation. Miss Bertha wore a mackinaw and Miss Ethel wore about three sweaters. They stayed about fifteen minutes and declared that fish were certainly uninteresting pupils. HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS Dan Cupid has been active in our school during the past year. He sent a fatal shaft from his bow into the heart of Geraldine Merritt Moore and later a deadly arrow found lodging in the heart of one of our teachers, Lois Daniels Pad- dock. It is reported that an- other teacher and possibly a few pupils have been mortally wounded. The basket ball team, accom- panied by Mr. Campbell and Mr. Northrop, was entertain- ed at the home of Donald Dun- ham where they greatly enjoy- ed sugar and snow. The boys proved to be more efficient sugar eaters than ball players. —Doris Foote SNAPSHOTS OF H. H. S. The eye’s a camera, so we’re told, The fact we know is true; And images of H. H. S. Each day it takes for me and you. When glancing over memory’s book In years to come, I w’en, That certain pictures taken now Will even then be seen. This one’s been snapped so often, We’ve seen it o’er and o’er, It’s Howard Allen on parade, He’s walked five hundred miles or more. And here is William Massey, A question mark, you see, When next they take the cen- sus, A job for him there’ll be. No, that’s not Touchdown, it’s Donald Mac, A jester and a clown, How many times in history class He’s failed to win renown. Here are our faithful guard- ians Of the bulletin board in, th'e hall, As soon as a notice is placed there Virginia and Doris will read it all. A cloud of smoke, a fire I fear, Oh, now ’tis quickly out, For Marshall’s fire extinguish- er Has put the flames to rout. The committee on decorations May remain tonight after school, Jean, Dorothy and Doris May profit from this rule. HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS Can you see this picture plain- ly? A mathematician, no doubt, At least what Floyd Hunter doesn’t know, He’s not afraid to ask about. Peanut shucks upon the floor, A smell of perfume too, Oh, that’s where Roscoe Pilger sits, Decked out in raiment new. The first bell’s rung, they’ll sure be late, I wonder where they are? Oh, now I see them coming, A couple in each car. Upstairs they rush-, all out of breath, This is a pretty state, For Cy and Isabelle make it, But Ruth and Gander are late. ' A thud, a roar, a rumble, My ! how the building shakes, An earthquake? No, that’s Albert, Perhaps he needs new brakes. The teachers, too, are pic- tured, In poses known too well, I shall never forget Mr. North- rup With finger on the bell. In the classroom sits Miss Charter, Her red pencil never rests, And worse yet, in the labora- tory Miss McClelland is making tests. These snapshots and many others We’re taking day by day. Did you ever stop and won- der Just what your memory book will say? By Madame Queen. DO YOU KNOW THAT New York is fifteenth among the states as a producer of zinc, with an output from her mines in 1927, of 2,980 tons. St. Lawrence county is the chief source of this metal. New York state has nearly three million foreign born in- habitants. Italians form the largest group, followed by Russians, Germans, Irish, Poles and Austrians in the order named. One hundred years ago New York city had a population of about 75,000. There were in the metropolis three stage lines five ferries, one theatre, one library. Hickory wood was HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS the chief fuel and Dutch was largely spoken. Ninety years ago the first passenger liner was com- pleted at New York, when in 1838 the Great Western reach- ed New York harbor from Bristol, England, after a six- teen day voyage. New York State is using nearly one-fourth of all the miles of gas mains and more than one-fourth of all the miles of electric transmission lines in the United States. There are in New York city alone 75 agencies and institu- tions given over entirely to the care of the aged poor. The only New York State del- egate to sign the Constitution of the United States on Sept. 17, 1787, was Alexander Ham- ilton, and without him the Con- stitution would not have been ratified by New York. The largest carpet factory, elevator factory and sugar re- finery in the world are all in Yonkers, N. Y., the sixth larg- est city in the state. The earliest game conserva- tion law in New York state was passed in 1732, when the use of nets was forbidden in the Collect, a lake on the low- er Manhattan where the Tombs prison now stands. The first clergyman to settle in New York state was the Rev. Jonas Michaelius, who came from Holland in 1628 and or- ganized the Dutch Reformed Church. Peter Minuit, who bought the island from the In- dians for $24, was the first elder of the little church and services were held in a stone horse-mill. Thirty-four kinds of game are killed in New York state. In 1927 the total weight of the game killed was more than 2,- 000 tons. The largest item was deer, weighing 700 tons, followed by rabbits, weighing 600 tons. At an early geological per- iod the state of New York was part of the Atlantic ocean, in which the Adirondacks ap- peared as an island. In 1853 the Saratoga potato chip was invented at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. It was discov- ered when the chef of Moon’s Lake House cut his potatoes too thin. The Empire State leads all others in the value of its paper mill products, for which about one million cords of wood a year arc required. Of this HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS three-fourths has to be import- ed. The Adirondack Mountains in New York state cover 5,000 square miles and. the Catskills about 1,000. There are 52 counties in the Empire State, of which the largest is St. Lawrence, with 2,701 square miles, and the smallest New York county, with only 22 square miles. New York state leads all others in tree planting. Nine- ty-seven million young trees have already been planted on land worthless for anything else, and it is planned to re- claim four million acres of idle land within the next twenty years. H. H. S.

We can hardly believe this one. Dean Moore in Physical Geography— “How do you know when there is any at- mosphere in the air.” (Judging ourselves by him, we find that there is hope for us who are now so dumb, for he is now a teacher in New York city.) Wanted—Some Ogdensburg girls—Murray McGregor and Vincent Gallagher. (At least our boys now seem to be satisfied with the home town girls.) HERE’S ANOTHER Vincent G.—“You’ll have to put me down for one more bas- ket ball picture, Prof. It’s a pity we couldn’t wait until the season opens at Oak Point.” (Judging from the number of times Vincent’s name ap- pears in that paper, we think that he must have been quite a lady’s man.) Wanted of G. H. Wyllie—A tonic to keep me awake.;— Dean Moore. Wanted—A silencer for En- glish III—Miss Sipher. Wanted—A girl about eigh- teen years of age. Must be tall, slender and graceful. Ex- cellent opportunity for the right person.—V. Gallagher. -1: Students of II. H. S. pass from school days into married life very suddenly. (This ap- plies to teachers as well as to pupils in 1930.) % ❖ One evening last week we lost young Curly, And always before he, had been in early, We looked on the flat and we 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 Merrill’s looks That his thoughts have sure- ly wandered To the little laughing brooks BASKET BALL TEAM OF 1910-11 Back row, left to right—Moore, right guard; M. McGregor, left guard; Gallagher, right forward; Walrath, left forward. Front row—Burton, substitute; A. McGregor, Captain, center; Daniels, substitute HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS SENIOR NOTES Hello, everybody! This is the Senior Class of ’30, broad- casting from station H. H. S. We are three in number, all striving to make our school paper a success. We owe a great deal to Theresa Maloy, our class pres- ident, and chief reporter of the 'Hammond High Happenings She is pianist for the Glee Club and Assembly. Theresa had the hard luck to be out of the school for six weeks because of illness. We are glad to say that she is doing well since her return. Next in line is Ruth Nicol, our class secretary and treas- urer, cheer leader and editor- in-chief of the paper. She has already done much for the school and is striving to im- prove it. Ruth usually takes her noon-day ride, but the rea- son is that she likes fresh air. Irene Smith, the vice-presi- dent of this class, is a very in- dustrious student, although she occupies a front seat. Ercle Bishop was the fourth member of our class but she de- cided to teach one person in- stead of being taught by many. JUNIOR CLASS NOTES We are very proud of the fact that we are Juniors this year. It is interesting to note that from a class of 16 who started in ’27, there are only five who have reached the Junior class. Two of the girls have been married. Others have gone to work while there are some we know nothing about. The class officers are: Erva McLear, President; Cyril Mc- Dougall, Vice-President; Ros- coe Pilger, Secretary and Treasurer. The Class Motto: Onward and Upward. Class Colors: Wine red and silver blue. We shall be sorry to lose one of our members, Roscoe Pilger. As soon as school closes for the summer vacation Roscoe expects to go to Phila- delphia to live. Earl Eustis: Come along and PH teach you how to milk a cow.” Roscoe P.: Seeing Pm new to it, hadn't 1 better begin on a calf ?” Pest Control: Where are bugs most numerous ?” State Hospital.” Irene Smith. HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS SOPHOMORE NOTES The sophomore class, of which there are eleven mem- bers, chose the following as of- ficers at their first meeting: Cedric McDougall, president; Ella Mae Carter, vice-presi- dent; Leah Bates, secretary and treasurer. We agreed upon old rose and silver for class colors and since we have two more years to go to this school, we selected “Going Higher” for our motto. We are sorry to say that on May 1st one of our classmates, Roy Willard) moved to Madrid Bessie Miller renders valua- ble services to many of the students by preparing her less- ons far enough ahead of class time that the less studious pu- pils may make use of her pa- pers. By the looks of Maurice Ed- gar's mouth about May 9th, one would think that he was catcher on the baseball team, or had engaged in a pugilistic encounter. Cedric McDougall is one of the kind that are not what they seem to be. When Madolyn Smith goes out nights she must take her books with her because she al- ways has her lessons done. We are glad to note that we have a playwright in our class, Roger Craig, who has written a play, which appears else- where in this paper. Mae Carter must be thought to be the beauty of the school, because she has been seated at the front of the room so we can all look at her. While Donald Dunham is in school it would be a good idea to have the story “Ichabod Crane” dramatized, because we have an Ichabod. If ambition were fattening I'm afraid that Crosby Catlin would be invisible. Donald Ellsworth ought not to study so late nights. It is ruining his eyes so that he has had to get glasses. We are all wondering when Leah Bates will start to grow. If she doesn't begin soon she will be too old. (Donated by Ella Mae Carter.) Leah Bates Edited by Roscoe Pilger Miss Daniels—“You may sit there for the present.” Katherine S.—“When do I get it?” Miss Daniels—“Get what?” Katherine S.—“The pres- ent.” HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS FRESHMAN NOTES The Freshman Class must not be forgotten. Of the four classes this is the largest. In January we welcomed two new members, William Massey and Winona Slate, now making a total number of fifteen. The following officers were elected: Isabel Moore, pres- ident; Jean Stiles, vice-presi- dent; Dorothy Conger, secre- tary and treasurer. Our motto— Jog On.,, Class colors—Maroon and silver. Virginia Rodger, the young- est high school student, has the highest average among the Freshmen. Leah Salisbury left school the latter part of March. We often wondered where and when Jean got the habit of gum chewing and why she stopped suddenly soon after the twenty-fifth of April. Why doesn't Dorothy bring any more peanuts to school ? She used to cause considerable excitement at times. One of our promising young Freshmen is keeping company with a sober Senior. We wish him luck. Virginia Rodger Jean Stiles GRAMMAR DEPARTMENT Irene Baxter and Ernestine Demick have perfect attend- ance. Beatrice Nicol and Charles Yerden have been present ev- ery day. Our average attendance was low in February as a result of an epidemic of mumps. We had seven cases. Six of our number have join- ed the 4-H Club. We have been very proud of our basket ball team this year. The players were: Alton Richardson; r. f. Alton McLear, 1. f. Malcolm Barney, center. Rodger Cuthbert, r. g. Harold Chase, 1. g. Ivan Hall, sub., guard. Alton Richardson and Mal- colm Barney were the winners in a recent spell-down in our department. Some of our boys are becom- ing famous trappers. Our to- tal for the season is 40 musk- rats, 3 weasels and 9 skunks. The eighth grade pupils have elected their class offi- cers : Malcolm Barney, president; Ernestine Demick, vice-presi- dent; Janet Gallagher, secre- tary and treasurer. The class HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS colors are green and red. The seventh grade officers are: Audrey Merritt, presi- dent; Harold Chase, vice-pres- ident; Rodger Cuthbert, secre- tary and treasurer. The class colors are blue and gold. Some of our boys are play- ing on the high school baseball team this year. Ernestine Demick. INTERMEDIATE ROOM The pupils in the Intermed- iate room are practicing their June play. The following students sent in their penmanship drills to the A. N. Palmer Company: Mary Chase, Lulu Belle Si- mons, Catherine Scanlon, Ur- sula Fielding, Catherine Con- ger, Virginia Craig, Kathryn Demick, Mabel Foote and Donald Smith. If their drills are accepted, they will be awarded progress pins. The mumps have greatly spoiled our attendance this quarter. Virginia Craig is the last victim. Trapping has been very good this season. Many mice have been captured. The boys who had the high- est averages for last quarter are: Robert Emrich, Merle Laid law and Donald Smith. The girls are: Catherine Con- ger, Mary Chase, Catherine Conger, Virginia Craig and Kathryn Demick. Our teacher went and got married ! Can you beat that ? —Catherine Scanlon. PRIMARY ROOM The children in the Primary Department have become members of the Palmolive Health Club. The pledge is: Before each meal and after play, Fll wash the dirt and germs away. They have kept a record for six week and each one has earned a beautiful pin. The pupils of the second and third grades have taken the tests for the Silver Star and Gold Star buttons present- ed by the Palmer Writing Co. They are now anxiously await- ing the report of their success. Frances Smith has had per- fect attendance so far this year. Those present every day are: Douglas Schermerhorn, Trevor Atkinson, Jean Mac- Lachlan and Eva May Pierce. The trapping in the Pri- mary Deprtment is line. Up to date, ten mice have been captured. An arithmetic contest was held in grades II and III. The HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS child having the greatest num- ber of perfect papers in Grade III was Frances Smith. Ella Louise Welch was the winner in Grade II. The children of the Primary room enjoy their new sand- table. They also enjoy the Toy Store Project. —Frances Smith. TWENTY-THIRD PSALM The High School professor is my shepherd and I am in dire want; he prevents me from lying down in my bed; he leadeth me to distraction with his exam questions. He shaketh my resolutions to get a high school degree: he leadeth me to make a fool of myself before my classmates. Yea, though I burneth my light until my mother howleth : I fear much evil: for he is against me. He assigneth me extra work as punishment in the presence of mine enemies; he anointeth my quiz papers with blue pen- cil marks, and my zeros fiilleth a whole column. Surely theories, exams, and themes will follow me all the days of my school career and I will dwell in the bughouse forever. JOKES The end of the year was drawing near at St. Lawrence University. Bob Smith had tried his finals and failed them all. Fearing to face his father he sent his mother a telegram which read as follows: Mother: Exams over, flunked everything. Prepare papa. The following day Bob re- ceived this telegram from his mother: Papa prepared. Prepare yourself. Leah Bates—“I wonder how old Miss Charter is?” Mae Carter—“Quite old, I imagine, they say she used to teach Caesar.” Miss Charter—“Oh it must be nice to know everything.” Erva—“Yes, it is.” Mr. Northrop: “I will now take some sulphuric acid and—” Marshall: “That wouldn't be a bad idea.” Miss Charter—“Give me a sentence containing deduct, defeat and detail.” Maurice Edgar—“De duck went over de fence with de feet before de tail.” HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS A FIRE PREVENTION PLAY Roger B. Craig SCENE I (A room in Mr. and Mrs. Richard’s home.) Enter Mr. and Mrs. Richard. Mr. R.—Well since this is Fire Prevention Week, we had better put on an entertainment. Mrs. R.—What kind of an entertainment do you want? Mr. R.—Why, something to do with the prevention of fire. Mrs. R.—Leave it to me. I will go to the city and get some good material for you. Have posters printed immediately. Good-bye. (She leaves the room.) Telephone rings. Answered by Mr. Richard. Hello, is this Mr. Richard? Mr. R.—Yes! What do you want? Come to your office at once. Big business is waiting for you. Mr. R.—O. K. I will be there immediately. (Exit) SCENE II Back yard of Richard home. Enter two boys about the age of 10, full of mischief. Sons of Mr. and Mrs. Richard. Bob—Say, Ted, what do you say we cook our dinner in the backyard today? Ted—O. K. with me. Bob—We can roast some hot dogs and potatoes while we pretend that we are in the North Woods. Ted—Let’s go after the hot dogs right now. Bob—All right. (Goes out the door but returns shortly with a pound of hot dogs.) Ted—That didn’t take long. Bob—Now I’ll go down cel- lar and get some potatoes. You begin to build the fire. Ted—I want three potatoes. Bob—I’ll bring out a peck. (Returns with a peck of pota- toes.) Ted—Let’s get the potatoes baking. (Throws two or three on the fire.) Bob—I’m going into the house and get something to eat from. Say, I guess I’ll bring out that pie mother made this morning, and some rolls. Ted (to himself)—We will sure have a good time today. Here he comes with an arm full of things now. Bob—If I make a few more trips into the house I’ll have to hire a road truck to carry things back. Ted—The potatoes are near- ly done and we had better get HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS a couple of hot dogs cooking. (Each holds one fastened to the end of a stick over the fire) Bob—Mine's done. Ted—So's mine. Bob—Have a potato. Ted—Sure, wouldn't mind if I did. Take one yourself. Bob—You bet! I'm not the least bit bashful. (Both boys start eating) Ted—Gee! This is good. Makes you feel as if you were up in Northern Canada. Bob—Think T'll have anoth- er hot dog. Better have one, Ted, or they will be all gone. Ted—Yes, I'll take one more but I'm worrying about that apple pie. Bob—Say! I nearly forgot all about it. Ted—We can each have half. Bob—I'm so full, I doubt if I can eat it. Ted—Where there's a will there's a way. Bob—I've got the will so I guess I’ll try to find a way. Ted (after they had finish- ed)—Let's go over to Johnny's. He owes me all of fifty cents and I want to get it. Bob—Will you give me half? Ted—Yes, if you'll help me up. (Bob helps him up.) Bob (looks at the fire) — Well, I guess that the fire will be all right. There isn't enough left of it to spread. Ted—Come on. Let's go. The boys exeunt SCENE III A back room in the house. Enter Mrs. Richard. Mrs. R.—I think I smell smoke. (Goes and looks out the back window.) Oh! All the grass in the back yard is afire and the (lames are climbing up the sides of the house. I must call the fire department. (Goes in- to the street and sends in an alarm.) (Enter five firemen dressed in firemen's clothes, carrying chemicals, fire extinguishers, and put out fire.) One of F.—Pretty narrow escape, Mrs. Richard. Mrs. R.—Yes, I'm sure it was. Fireman—How did it start? Mrs. R.—The boys left a fire burning at the back of the house. Fireman—This is the first call during Fire Prevention Week. Good-bye Mrs. Rich- ard, we must be going. The firemen exeunt (Enter Bob and Ted) HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS Mrs. R.—Why did you leave that fire burning at the back of the house ? It nearly caught the house on fire. Bob—Oh, it was low and we thought that it would be all right. Mrs. R.—Well, you see a lit- tle wind came up and blew the sparks toward the house which easily caught on fire. Now, for your carelessness you can go to bed without any supper and will not be able to attend the fire prevention entertain- ment on Friday evening. HI give you ten minutes to get in- to bed. Bob—Well, Ted, old boy, (slaps him on the back)—we had an hour’s fun today any- way, but we shouldn’t have left that fire burning even if it was low. Say ! Do you know this is fire prevention week ? Ted—Yes. Bob—If it had been last week that we had built the fire nothing would have happened. Mrs. R.—Are you boys go- ing to bed ? Ted—Yes. Mrs. R.—All right, and see that you don’t build any fires in bed. Enter Mr. Richard. Mrs. R.—Good afternoon, pa. Glad to see you home. Mr. R.—Yes, I’m glad to get home, too. I made $500 this afternoon. Mrs. R.—How ? Mr. R.—Oh, on that Texas stock. Mrs. R.—That’s good, but I have some bad news for you. Mr. R.—What is it? Mrs. R.—Bob and Ted made a fire back of the house and cooked their dinner over it. In- stead of putting it out they left it burning because it was low. A slight wind came up and blew the sparks on the house. It immediately caught fire but I called the fire depart- ment and they came and put it out. Mr. R.—Rather a close call, wasn’t it ? Mrs. R.—I should say so. Mr. R.—Well did you get any material for the, entertain- ment ? M!rs. R.—Yes, I have it right here. (Shows it to Mr. R.) What have you to say about it ? Mr. R.—It looks to be the very thing I wanted. Mrs. R.—You had better put the posters up now so that we will get a good crowd as the money is seriously needed. Mr. R.—Yes, I think it is the HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS best thing to do. See you in a couple of hours. Exit. Mrs. R., (yawning)—I guess that I’ll lie down and rest along with Bob and Ted. Curtain. JOKES The maiden lady of uncer- tain age became very indignant when the census taker asked her her age. “Did you see the girls next door ?” she asked. “The Hill twins?” “Certainly” replied the census man. “And did they tell you their age?” she asked. “Yes.” “Well,” she said: “I’m as old as they are.” “Oh, very well,” said the census man to himself and he wrote down in his book, “Jane Johnson, as old as the Hills.” Miss McClelland—William, ho v many bones have you in your body?” William—“About four hun- dred thousand.” Miss McClelland—“That is a great many more than I have got.” William—“I know, but you see, I had sardines for lunch.” Isabel—“Can you draw?” Cyril—“A little, why?” Isabel—“Then draw closer” ABSENT MINDED Friend —“Prof. Northrup has gone back to Switzerland for his lungs.” Donald E.—“Dear old man, just the same as ever, always leaving things behind.” ❖ Wendell N., reading book about New York city—“Gee, I’d like to go down to New York and see those skyscrap- ers work.” Prof., sternly—“What made you late this morning?” Doris F.—“Y-you see, there are eight in our family.” Prof.—“Well?” Doris—“And, the alarm was only set for seven.” Mr. Northrup—“Now tell me what steam is.” Roscoe—“Water crazy with the heat.” •5 •5' 4� THE FROG What a wonderful bird the frog are. When he stand, he sit, almost. When he hop, he fly, almost. He ain’t got no sense hardly. He ain’t got no tail, hardly, either when he sit, he sit on what he ain’t got, al- most.

It’s al- ways me.” ' Cyril—“How many fellows bring you candy?” Isabel—“All of them except you.” Cyril—“Well, bring me out some, I’m hungry.” i t Attorney, making his sum- mary at the close of the trial in a slander case—“Is there a man in this crowd who would permit his wife to be slander- ed ? If there is let him stand.” A hard of hearing, henpecked little individual arose. Attorney—“Mjy good man, do you mean to tell me that you would allow your wife to be slandered ?” Henpecked— “Oh, pardon me, sir, I-I-I, thought you said slaughtered.” Prof.—“I will use my hat to represent the planet Mars. Are there any questions?” Doris F.—“Yes, is Mars in- habited ?” A PROBLEM Cyril—“Why are you so sad?” Floyd—“I bought one those books “How to Love,” and now I don’t know what to do.
