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.

HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS OBSERVATIONS AND DIS- CUSSIONS OF INTEREST After a few inquiries among the High School pupils I have discovered the following inter- esting facts: The honor of being the very youngest student in the High School goes to Virginia Rod- ger. 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
