HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS HIGHLIGHTS OF 1911 Looking over the High School annual published by the mem- bers of this school in 1911, we find some interesting things concerning the students who preceeded us. :'fi :|{ Dish Gallagher and Scotty McGregor were called the Sia- mese Twins, and Dean Moore the Musical Baboon. 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

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.
