Miuch of this was due to the fine new hall built by the Knox Class. The townspeople began at the first of the season to support the team admirably. The hall was always filled to capacity and often many peo- ple were forced to stand. This they cheerfully did in order to be able to witness the games. At noon on the days when games were to be played, de- licious dinners were served to the players, in the Knox hall. The mothers and friends took charge of these. The boys ap- preciated the interest shown in them and always played to the very best of their ability. The first game of the season was postponed because the boys had not been able to prac- tice as the hall was not yet completed. The next game, played at home with Richville as the opponent, was a victory for the Scarlet and Brown. During the entire season, fourteen league games were played. Of these our-boys have to their credit 9 victories. There were also 6 non-league games, providing 3 victories. At the close of the. league season, Morristown was in the lead. Hammond was tied with Rensselaer Falls for second, place. A championship tourna ment was played at the State Armory, in Ogdensburg. Lots; were drawn and Hammond was fated to play Morristown.' The result was sad. At the end of the regular time, the. score was tied. A three minute over- time was enough for the ene- my stars to gain three baskets. However, our boys would re- treat no farther, for in. the game with Waddington, Ham-, mond won. The team’s high scorer was our fair-haired center, Donald Dunham, selected as center on the mythical St. Lawrence Val- ley team. His record is 120; points for good old Hammond High. Cy McDougall was sec- ond high, having made 76 points. In the tournament played at 10 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS Philadelphia after, the league season had ended, the Scarlet and Brown sufFered another defeat due to the ill luck of drawing the Adams Center team, Jefferson County cham- pions, as opponents. Their cen- ter man was a big fellow, six feet seven inches tall. Pie put Donald Dunham in the shade. However, our boys had a chance to prove that they are good losers. The fellows are now training for baseball. Once more the student body stands back of them in support of good clean sport. The girls' basketball record differed somewhat from that of. the boys. Due to the lack of practice, they did not play any games until December 5, when they met Waddington. This game resulted, in a defeat, as did all the others, except one which was played with Pleuvel- ton. The coaches, Ploward Felt and Wm. Derby were forced to work with inexperienced play- ers, making it difficult for them to try to organize a win- ning team. At the end of the season the girls had improved a great deal. It is hoped that next year a more successful team can be produced. ALUMNI Did you ever wonder what becomes of all the graduates of .Hammond High? Many of them, are seldom heard of. Oth- ers achieve quite an amount of fame. Of our more recent alumni, Rutherford Rodger '23 seems to deserve first recognition. Upon graduating he attended St. Lawrence University for two years and McGill Univer- sity, Montreal, for five years. In the latter he studied medi- cine. Since then he has been employed as interne at the Hepburn Hospital, in Ogdens- burg. We expect that his ca- reer will be one of service to humanity. William Dehart '24 is now studying medicine in Bellevue Hospital, New York City. His brother, Robert, who gradu- HAMMOND HIGH. HAPPENINGS 11 REMINISCENCES ated the same year, has been very ill. Ruth Dooley ’28 is a student at the Rochester Athenaeum. She is taking a course in diet- etics. It is reported that she is a very able student and is mak- ing fine progress. Most of our graduates who have entered higher vocation- al fields have become teachers. Louine Rodger graduated from St. Lawrence University and later obtained an M. A. degree at Columbia University. She is now employed as French teacher at Freeport, L. I. Ruth Stiles and Helen Laid- law who were also teachers, have been married during the past year. The latter now has a small son. We are looking forward to wedding bells for Ruth Allen, who teaches at Al- exandria Bay High School. Of the sixty-seven graduates since 1918, twenty-one have entered Ogdensburg Training Class, seventeen have gone to college and seven have attend- ed Potsdam State Normal. This makes 67 per cent of the grad- uates who have entered higher fields of learning. How is that for the record of a small school ? By An Old Student. If we allow our memory to turn back a few years, we have a mutual picture of the old school building on the hill with Prof. Sayre and Miss Day hold- ing the reins upstairs. Being; next door neighbor to Robe- son’s Bakery, we were daily customers. We see a studious bunch of girls like Marion Wil- son, Caroline Conger, Helen Cuthbert, Helen Bicklehaupt, Vera Demi.ck and Lottie Sim- ons. The leaders in the restless gang were Scotty McGregor, Dean Moore, Stephen Jones, Brick Lockie and Douglas Rog- er, who startled all the village fathers by roller skating on Woodside’s roof. Billy Demick and his box of candy could al- ways be found at the reference, desk. More than one girl tried to vamp Norris Soper. These happy memories bring back many good times, and I for one, still hold that the old friends are the best friends. Florence W. Gallagher. 12 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS LITERARY HISTORY OF THE BUILDING Some interesting notes have been found concerning the his- tory of the present high school building. A small handbook published the first year of its use, 1907, gives some facts which will awaken the memory of many of the older gradu- ates. The book says, “It is a mod- ern structure and in every way up to date. It was erected at a cost of $18,000. The heating and plumbing system is mod- ern and sanitary. Drinking fountains are located on each floor and everything has been arranged with special refer- ence to the health and comfort of the pupils.” The first library contained 600 volumes for general circu- lation. A collection of rocks., minerals and fossils was also purchased for the use of the school in teaching Natural Science and Nature Study. The courses of study were somewhat differently arranged from what they are at present. Modern Biology was divided into three classes, Botany, Zo- ology and Physiology. German, Cicero and Virgil were also taught. English was separated into Grammar and Rhetoric. Among the students regis- tered the first year were: Sen- iors, Helen Roger, Bessie Felt, and Lottie Shindler; Juniors, Pearl Franklin, Vera Moore, Helen Moore and Mary Haley; Sophomores, Stanley Nicol, Caroline Wyllie and M,argaret Brown; Freshmen, Florence Wilson, Clarence Derby and Roscoe Mills. The appellations of many other well-known Hammond- ites are to be found in the lists of those in the grades. In fact, way down in the second grade, we find Morris Felt, Murry Henderson and Flossie Nicol. These people, all local resi- dents, have no doubt witnessed many changes and improve- ments since they were students. Perhaps they will recall the fact that, despite the quotation concerning the efficiency of the heating system, it was often so HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS 13 mary room boasts the least. cold that school had to be closr ed, probably much to their sat- isfaction. The heating system certainly was inefficient and the ventilating system also, gave some trouble. In 1915 an attempt was made for improvement and, steam heat was added, replac- ing the hot air system. This helped a great deal and, two years ago, several extra radia- tors w;ere added, which seem- ed to solve the heating prob- lems. There was no lighting sys- tem in the school except large brass lamps which hung from the ceiling. These were so in- convenient that they were sel- dom used. The janitor often carried a lantern so that he could see to sweep the floors. In 1912 an electric light was put in the boiler room. The same year another wire was, extended up to the library. Two years later the high school was wired and later the grade rooms. This was a great help for it made the school brighter on dark days. The janitor work was also made easier for electrical appliances could be used. Of the many teachers who have been employed, the pri- Only four teachers have occu- pied that room. The former Miss Ethel McClelland holds the record of ten years teach- ing there. Miss Bertha McClel- land has enlightened youth for twelve years, first in the inter- mediate room, later advancing to the high school, where she is now our well-loved precep- tress. Last but not least, Miss Ada Allen has taught the gram- mar grades almost as long as the building has stood. She came in 1909, making a total of 22 years of unquestionable service. Something should also be said of our present janitor who has kept the building clean and warm to the best of his ability for sixteen years. Such services as these are well worth appreciation. Improvements are being made each year. An efficient pressure water system was in- stalled last year. New equip- ment has been added yearly. A modern electric radio has also done much toward making school days brighter. Such has been the past. What will be the future ? Who can tell ? Erva M. McLear; 14 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS WHAT THE SCHOOL CLOCK SEES The wise old clock hangs on the wall. It has no eyes but sees it all. It hangs there quietly through the day, And never thinks of giving anyone away. At nine o’clock they all file in, And then these thrilling sights begin. It watches the doings of every- one, And let me tell you sometimes it’s fun. They’d like to whisper, but no one dares Until perhaps someone ap- pears with a note from down stairs. Mr. Northrup suddenly starts For a certain room in lower parts. The atmosphere now seems to change, And the room indeed looks very strange. A movement here, a whisper there, And there’s a sudden stir most everywhere. It watches one pupil as she starts to chew, And if others had candy, they’d chew, too. All of a sudden there’s a creak on the stair. Up comes “Prof.”—silence in the air. Miss McClelland’s turn comes now. Does she watch ’em ? And how! Then comes Miss Charter as you know, Into the library she does go, And so on and on throughout the day, That wise old clock ticks the time away. It knows a lot it won’t tell, And keeps all secrets very well. Hilda Dake. As the pendulum methodi- cally swings to and fro on our old school clock, it sees long, lanky Donald Dunham, who has been chosen as the all- scholastic center of our league, and it says to itself, “No doubt, Don some day will be playing center on the famous New York Renaissance team.” Next in line it sees Erva McLear, our school artist, but it also notices that Erva’s hand is not so steady, since her trip to Og- HAMMOND. HIGH HAPPENINGS 15 densburg on the seventeenth of March. After Erva is Parson, the noted orator, who, it thinks could take the lead in the play entitled, “Peck's Bad Boy.” As its hand swings around to ten o’clock, it sees a noted character ascending the stairs, who is known throughout the school for his fondness of work and his habit of coming in late. I don’t have to tell you who this is because, by now, you have already guessed that it is none other than that celebrat- ed personage, who goes by the name of Dave Moore. Last, but not least, it sees our good friend, Carol John- son, who hails from that very well-known and historical country,: the Rossi e Hills, and she reminds us of that exqui- site piece of poetry, which goes like this:— A wise old owl sat in an oak, The more he heard, the less he spoke, The less he spoke, the more he heard; Why isn’t Carol more like this bird ? Janet Gallagher. “Creak” goes that step on the stairs as Mr. Northrup comes up on tiptoe. “Parson,” who has been bothering Hilda stops and digs into his Physics book as if Hilda never existed. Bill Massey who has been imi- tating everything from a grey goose shaft to a flintlock gun, digs into “History A.” Dave Moore engaged in earnest con- versation with Ella Mae settles down to “Caesar.” Carol, the note thrower, just in the act of slipping one over to Winona Slate puts the note in her desk' and grins at Mr. Northrup when he walks into the room. Ted, who has been waving a magic wand at Bill Gleason, decides to go to work. Roger Craig, who has been gossiping with Donald Dunham suddenly becomes interested in English III. A step on the stairs caused all this. Yet no teacher saw or heard a thing. Such is school. Malcolm Barney. 16 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS HOBBIES AND WORRIES OF THE TEACHERS Maybe you won’t believe it, but our teachers are quite hu- man after all. Just to prove it, here are some of their chief worries and hobbies. Now, Mr. Northrup worries for fear that little black satch- el he carries to school, will fall open again, losing all the pa- pers so he will have to run aft- er them. His “principal” hobby is making out hard tests and his secondary one is “shooting at” wood chucks. Miss McClelland’s mind is never at ease because there might be another crash in the stock market. Then, too, she’s afraid she might be late for school some morning. Just to make sure she won’t she ar- rives about half past seven. Her hobby, since she’s had a car of her own, has been driv- ing through heavy traffic. Very recently she has seemed to en- joy training goldfish to per- form. Miss Charter has been wor- rying for fear everyone in town won’t notice that she has a new car. Her chief hobby is driving it around so that more and more people may have the extreme pleasure of viewing it. Miss Fay’s problem is keep- ing Malcolm Barney interest- ed in Theory class, when there are so many other things to di- vert his attention. Enjoying a good show is her chief pastime. Miss Allen has qualms ev- ery time she drives down the Bay Road, because she might meet those Border Patrolmen again. Playing the Jew’s harp fills all her leisure hours. Miss Rutherford worried about driving through the snow—last winter, but now that’s over, so she’s carefree and able to indulge in her chief hobby, pigmy golf. Miss Mayne’s chief trouble is “the younger generation.” No wonder. She teaches the primary room. Her pleasantest moments are thinking about nice things she’d like to do. Poor girl! It seems as though our worthy janitor ought to be mentioned somewhere. Just now Albert is worrying about whether or not the new teach- ers for next year will be pret- ty. His hobby is polishing his car. So thus endeth the low-down on those who rule the school. HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS .17 CLASS DISTINCTION SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Hammond High School, situ- ated in St. Lawrence County, State of New York, United States of America, believing ourselves to be sane and sound of mind, do hereby make, pub- lish and declare our last will and testament, as follows: To the faculty and students we leave our best wishes.

Erva McLear, Roscoe Pilger, Leah Bates, Ploward Moore, Doris Foote, Cyril McDougall, Evelyn Campbell, Marshal Tyler. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Our Hammond Aggravator has just arrived. I’m always so interested in the local gossip I can hardly wait until Thurs- day. Quite often, however, one of my neighbors drops in, and then of course the paper is not necessary. Gracious! here’s some articles about those in the class of 1931. I’ll have to read this. Well, for land’s sakes! Here it says, “A new millinery shop has been opened on the cor- ner of Bulldog Avenue and HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS ,19.' Suicide Drive. Its proprietress, Miss Srva M. McLear has open- ed with a special sale on Felt hats. One for 98c, two for 99c. Of course, Felts come high this season for they are much in demand among discriminating young ladies.”. Another headline reads: “Mrs. Cyril N. McDougall Di- vorces Well-to-do Hushand. Charges alienation of affec- tions and mental cruelty. Miss Lucille Brough, the town danc- ing teacher, has been named co-respondent.” Farther down the page: Miss A. Evelyn Campbell is giving free demonstrations of reducing methods, at the Town Hall this week. Her motto is, “Look Before You Eat.” In the less notable events it says that Marshal Tyler has been granted a patent for his fire extinguisher. Mr. Tyler has high hopes that his remark- able invention will be'long re- membered in scientific circles. Marriage announcements: “Miss Doris Foote of Ham- mond to a prominent citizen of Brier Hill. Misses LaVerna Carter and Audrey Merritt are giving a kitchen shower for her tomorrow night. Everyone requested to bring a rolling pin for the bride’s future use.” “Since Roscoe Pilger’sAre-' turn from Hawaii where1; he has made extensive study: of ladies’ bathing suits and loung- ing pajamas, many new modes have been introduced about town. At present he is very busy designing a bathing suit for Mrs. Bill Derby, nee Dor- othy Conger.” “Howard D. Moore, our em- inent veterinary, has opened a new and well patronized of fice over Dr. Empey’s. His cli- ents are those whom Dr. Em- pey does not treat. His rates are very reasonable—Sj 10 for pulling a horse’s tooth, $8.50 for a cow’s and only $2.50 a- piece for hen’s teeth. He also sells limburger cheese and French perfume to make mon- ey for his vast fox ranch in Pleasant Valley.” WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS Recently, while visiting in Syracuse, I went to see a crys- tal gazer. I told her I was rath- er doubtful about seing any- thing but she urged me to try. As she set the beautiful ball before me, my surroundings' seemed to recede and I found 20 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS f myself in the midst of my school companions. In front of me I saw a large post office. While I stood wait- ing for my mail, I was startled to recognize Janet Gallagher as the postmistress. When she advanced to greet me, I saw Bill Derby in the far corner, seemingly interested in a book of games. I was reminded of the party at the Methodist church when that scene had occurred before. As this picture slowly faded away, I found myself in a ! beautiful cathedral. I was ! greatly surprised to find Eve- lyn Goodwin and her former pet antipathy, James Fletcher, at the altar. There also was the minister, Roy Willard, in a swallow tail'coat and yellow satin trousers. He was acting as officiating clergyman. The setting for the next scene was a huge Chautauqua tent. Much to my surprise and consternation, I recognized the name of Jean Stiles as lectur- er. Suddenly, there was a hush, and I saw Jean advancing tow- ards us. But oh! What a change!! She was dressed in a long severe black gown. Her hair was drawn into a tight knot and she wore great horn- ed rim glasses. As she announc- ed the subject of her lecture, I was filled with wonder and could scarcely believe my ears when I heard that it was on, 'The Evils of the Younger Generation. ” As she finished her lecture, a sleight of hand performer appeared. I suspected that it would be Maurice Edgar and I was not mistaken. The last but not least on this program was Roger Craig, now a celebrated saxaphone player, but unlike most of them he was taking refresh- ments at numerous intervals. There seems to be a confus- ion in the crystal and upon looking closer, I beheld an op- era scene. A large assemblage of people was expectantly awaiting some important per- sonage. An awed hush de- scended upon the audience as a tall man with flowing brown hair and holding a violin in his sensitive, tapering fingers eame forward. Who should it be but our studious friend, Floyd Hunter? The scene changed abrupt- ly to a base ball diamond. The crowd cheered madly as the HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS pitcher struck out three men. I was not amazed to find the famous pitcher to be Howard Allen, who had received prac- tice throwing chalk in school. Next appeared a banquet scene and, when the principal speaker was called upon a tall dignified man with an abund- ance of red hair arose. I asked some one who it was and re- ceived the pleasing informa- tion that it was Donald Mac- Lachlan, now a prominent member of Congress. Again I looked into the crys- tal and beheld a scene on Fifth Avenue, New York City. In the midst of the crowd gather- ed near a peanut stand, was a young woman rapidly turning cartwheels to receive the nick- els which her admirers (most- ly young men) flung into her eager hands. I was somewhat shocked to recognize the state- ly young lady, Isabel Moore, who was working earnestly to support a home for aged pea- nut-vendors. As the clouds departed,' a richly curtained stage appear- ed and in the center of it were none other than Lucille Brough and Mae Carter, the greatly renowned toe dancing twins. 21 I wished to discover • what ' v was going to become of-the':- rest of my school mates,; but ' the crystal suddenly cleared and sadly I was forced to re- 'C:, linquish the ball to its rightful owner. Dorothy Conger. : THE FROSH AS THE. SOPH SEES THEM. Gee, they’re green. Wonder if they’ve lost all their baby teeth yet. Well, of. course, there’s Floyd Hunter. He’ll soon be cutting his wisdom teeth. But there’s Beatrice Nic- ol. When the Seniors introduc- ed her to the school last fall, she was still clinging to her doll. Carol Johnston — Guess probably she’s learning. I hear she’s been having even- ing lessons with a special French tutor. Doris Schermerhorn — She and Crosby are still insepara- ble. Wonder how long it will continue thus. Joseph Hague also seems to be suffering the pangs of love,—or something like that. It’s surprising what Silver Knees can do. And Lucille Brough. What breaches of promise she has 22 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS caused. All the world of school was rosy until she stepped in, wrecking the romances that had lasted for years. Robert Moncrief and Will- iam Gleason never cause any trouble. They’re the “silent partners” of the class. Loretta Dart—She was an awful nice girl, but she left. However, we still have Lana Cuthbert. No need to worry about losing her right away. Jack Hughs and Harold Chase—Both nice boys who will never cause the teacher to get gray hairs. Hilda Dake is liable to be a poet. Guess may be that should be “poetess.” Helen Nelson — They say “gentlemen prefer blondes.” Well then, probably anyone who doesn’t prefer Helen, isn’t a gentleman. Vincent Felt will never tear the world apart unless he man- ages to catch up on his lost sleep. Janet Gallagher, Ernstine Demick and Irene Baxter—No need to worry about them, ei- ther. They’ll step right into the great Sophomore shoes next year. The greenness of Wendell Nicol and James Fletcher is emphasized by the sweaters of the same hue which they wear. Oh, they’re very becoming, al- though Wendell’s is getting rather faded. Julia M:erritt — Can’t say much about her. She’s old enough to take care of herself. And now Rose Gascon—She hasn’t been in the ranks of the Frosh all year, but they seem to accept her “carte blanche.” Ivan Hall is much older than he looks but he was too incon- vincing for the State Troop- ers, but how in the world did Maurice Maloy’s Ford always get by them. Hope Bill Massey won’t be mad because he’s last. How- ever, the last shall be first and the first shall be last—to grad- uate. Oh, well, they’re all plenty young yet and by the time they get to be Sophomores they’ll be older—Yes, some of them much older. A Sophomore. HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS CLASS NOTES- SENIOR We are nearing the end of our High School days. The past year has been a very inter- esting one. In future years we shall probably enjoy recalling events which have taken place. We shall remember the fun we had the day we dressed up the Frosh in ridiculous cost- umes and introduced them to the school. How disgusted some of them were! The Sophomores thought they would like to do the same with us, so realizing that child- ren must have their fun, we dignified Seniors consented. The work connected with producing- this magazine has also been very interesting, but how our arms and heads have ached after hours of steady copying! JUNIOR We have eight members left in our class. In January we lost Evelyn Campbell, who thought she’d be more of a success as a Senior. Evidently she is, as she is the Class Val- edictorian. Mae Carter was elected for our president, Roger Craig vice president, and Evelyn ' 23 On Friday night, March 27, we held a Class Dance in the Knox Hall. We decorated the hall with our class colors, Am- erican beauty rose and white. Cards were played by those who did not care to dance. Eustis’ Orchestra furnished music. A cafeteria supper was served. We cleared $25.70. Evelyn Campbell is our Class Valedictorian. Her average is 88.8%. Leah Bates, with an average of 80.6% for three years’ work, is Salutatoriam The others are: Erva Mc- Lear, 79.7 (Vice Pres.); Ros- coe Pilger, 78.6; Marshall Ty- ler, 77.7 (Sec. Treas.); Dor- is Foote, 75.0; Cyril McDou- gall, 78.3 (Pres.) ; Howard Moore, 70.9. ■ Our class motto is, “Out of the Harbor into Deep Waters.” —Erva McLear. Goodwin for our secretary and treasurer. + The class motto is, “Going . Higher,” and the class colors are: Old Rose and Silver. On April 10 we gave a dance and cleared $21.60. We intend to use the money for our graduation expenses which probably will be numerous. —Cedric McDougall. 24 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS CLASS OF ’33 Here’s to the Sophomores, Class of ’33. They’re the best bunch ever, As you can plainly see. First there’s President Jean, Face wreathed with smiles, Who meets her boy friends Always'on the Stiles. Second is Harold, Vice president of the ring. Don’t you think that He acts like a King? Then comes Ginney, Our Secretary and Treasurer. Is she a good sport? Well, just ask Rodger. Next is Dot, Who, with boys, is a hummer. If she had her way, Her name wouldn’t be Conger. Also there’s Donald, Who’s always a-ciowning. Could you believe it, With a name like MacLachlan ? The sixth is Kenneth, With a wicked eye, by gory. FRESHMEN Of the four classes in H. H. S., the Freshmen Class is the largest and must not be for- Who gets all the girls By telling them a Storie.

The officers of the Class are as follows: President, William HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS Massey; Vice President, Julia Merritt; Secretary and Treas- urer, Winona Slate. Our motto still remains — “Jog On.” Our class colors are yet—maroon and silver. The seven Freshmen having the highest averages this year are as follows: Irene Baxter, 85 ; Jack Hughes, 85; Robert Moncrief, 85; Ernestine Dem- ick, 84; Harold Chase, 83; Janet Gallagher, 82. A young Freshman, by the GRAMMAR The number enrolled for this semester is 29—17 boys and 12 girls. Our average attendance for the month of April was 98%. A harmonious band has re- cently been organized, and we hope to appear before the pub- lic in the near future. A spelling contest is now in progress, each side striving for the 100 %. The present score is 93 to 91 in favor of Cather- ine Conger's side. Those who have had perfect attendance so far this term are : Lulu Belle Simons, Mary Chase, Robert Betsinger and Robert Bicklehaupt.

In October, 1930, we went into the Primary PRIMARY The primary room has done many interesting things this year. Along with our work we have mixed in some play. On the last of October we had our Hallowe'en party. We joined with the intermediate room and put on an entertainment for our mothers. After this we served them with pop corn, candy and apples. Two months later another joyful time came along. We Room and gave a play entitled, ‘The Three Witches. Many parents were our guests. Then we passed into the Intermedi- ate Room and had apples, pop- corn and candy. In December we had a Christmas tree. We planned to make and trim Christmas bas- kets, and put food, clothes and toys in them. This plan was carried out. This April we had a ten-day vacation.

We had Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies and some chickens to eat. Soon it will be time for our final examinations. We hope we will all pass. —Patricia Bicklehaupt. HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS EDITORIAL ( )) “KNOCKERS AND BOOSTERS” In every place where the schools engage in sports, one is sure to find “knockers” and “boosters.” The former are usually in the minority, but they can cause a great deal of discontent. It is the “knock- ers” who harm the spirit of co- operation so necessary for suc- cess. We expect people to make remarks about our play- ing, but the little “catty” say- ings hurt bitterly when they come back to the players. You say, “They think they know it all. You can’t correct them.” No, we don’t, “knockers,” but we do wish you’d tell us in- stead of your friends. Sugges- tions given in the right spirit may help us see our mistakes. If a new team begins work, don’t start right in knocking them before you know what they can do. Remember that your good team was once beginning, and had to learn by experience. Give the new ones a chance! As previously mentioned, the “boosters” are quite apt to be in the majority. The par- ents of the students are in many cases graduates of the town school, and are always ready to see the Alma Mater win. Yet those who “boost’ merely for the sake of continu- al “betting” often do more harm than good. We look to the “boosters” to help keep up team spirit. We turn to them when the game is going against us, and they do not fail to give their support. We can only regret that there are not more of them. Can’t some of you “knockers” change and be “boosters” ? Come on ! We need your support! Evelyn Campbell. ATHLETIC LEAGUE The- St. Lawrence Valley Basketball League is an excel- lent organization for the pro- motion of athletics. The good effects of it are many; for, as a result of the cooperation, a higher type of sportsmanship is developed. Formerly, the teams were! 28 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS unorganized and were coached and backed by townspeople seeking a thrill and boosting any town enterprises. They played without rules, regula- tions or restraint and brought so much disgrace to the school that it was forced to recognize them for self protection. The schools now assume con- trol, employ and direct coaches and are formed into interschol- astic athletics associations or leagues. There is no doubt as to the value of the league. The play- ers must keep themselves phys- ically fit to insure efficient ac- tivity. A most important value of this physical activity is the rec- reational. It has been found that a period in a formal gym- nasium takes as much energy as a class in mathematics or language. The student needs a rest from things largely men- tal. He gets this by temporarily emphasizing things physical. He ‘'lets loose ' has a good time and comes back to his work refreshed in mind and body. Other values of these physi1 cal activities sponsored by the league are in their mental and social training. The student learns by playing with a team that he is only a part of that team. This teaches him coop- eration. He learns to subordin- ate himself for the good of the group. He learns both to lead and to follow. This is the first step in the building of public spirit. It makes for better boys and girls who will become bet- ter citizens of their com- munity and of the world. Wm. Derby. OUR LIBRARY Several new conveniences have been added to our library this year. Besides about sixty new books we have acquired an L. C. Smith typewriter, a library desk and a stand for the Ditto machine. Recently the books have been arranged in groups, according to the Dewey decimal system, which has proven satisfactory for all school libraries. Any of these books may be taken trom the library for not more than two weeks by a simple but satisfac- tory process. The borrower's name and the date .to be’re- turned are stamped on the bor-.. rower's card which- is put in the hook and the date to be re-, HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS 29 turned is stamped on the slip, inside the book. A fine of two cents a day must be paid for each book not returned when due. comical events. We wonder how Ted McDougall ever man- aged to trip over his own feet. We are willing to bet he could- n’t do it again. Besides the books there are several periodicals which may be used at any time without permission. These magazines are: “Booklist,” “National Ge- ographic,” “Popular Science,” “Current History,” “Wilson Bulletin,” “Pathfinder,” “A- merican Boy” and “Readers Digest.” Leah Bates. AT THE GAME At the close of a successful basketball season it is quite proper that we should, in a sense, sum up part of the inci- dents of the games played in town. These games have been enjoyed by the Hammond peo- ple not only because our team won most of them, but because of the entertainment which various incidents furnished. One may class these inci- dents as comical and sad, the latter including misfortunes to players such as minor injuries. We cannot help but recall some of the so-called happy or We have one player, who has very high ideals. He seems to like to down all the tall players. Harold King should be given special mention for pulling freak shots. However, we cannot limit the awards of credit to players only, for ev- eryone recalls how commend- ably Owen Young received that healthy slap from one of Morristown’s over-heated fe- male fans. Elliott Lewis, too, once became excited and pull- ed a hat down over an impu- dent fan’s head so that his nose and chin were the only visible features of his face. Bert Dorwin, one of the nois- iest spectators was unusually quiet during the Madrid game. Those Madrid school teachers certainly knew how to silence him. Another amusing feature was the different forms of gum chewing exhibited by those who sat on the stage. Such things as these add to the interest and zest of the games. Donald MacLachlan. 30 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS SPORTSMANSHIP In all athletics the most im- portant aim should be good sportsmanship, an important social element which must be developed through competi- tive play. A good sportsman will not willingly let the op- ponents win, but will take ad- vantage of all rightful oppor- tunities, especially those caus- ed by the mistakes of the op- ponent. He will play just as hard as he can but will play fairly. Good sportsmanship in- volves following the rules and playing cleanly. Good coaches emphasize this point. Codes and creeds help in building a sportsmanlike at- mosphere in the school. These are a few of the command- ments in the code of a good sportsman. 1. Thou shalt not alibi. 2. Thou shalt not quit. 3. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. 4. Thou shalt not be a “rot- ten” loser. 5. Thou shalt not take un- fair advantage. 6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou art loath to give. 7. Thou shalt always be ready to give the opponent the shade. 8. Thou shalt not under esti- mate an opponent or over esti- mate thyself. 9. Remember the game is the thing, and he who thinketh otherwise is a mucker. 10. Honor the game thou playest, for he who playeth the game straight and clean and hard is a winner even when he loses. Cyril McDougall. A NEW TEACHER'S IMPRES- SION OF OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT This is the opinion of Miss Mary Miayne concerning the school spirit shown here. “I do not think that school spirit necessarily means sup- port at various school games. Loyalty to the school and act- ive interest in its welfare con- stitute my idea of school spirit. Before I came to Hammond, I had heard that the school ath- letics received little support ei- ther from the student body or the townspeople. However, I found that it was not true this year, although it may have been due to the excellent team HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS 31 we had and also to the new Knox Hall. “At any rate I think that Hammond has plenty of school spirit.” Roscoe Pilger. THE BASKETBALL GAMES IN VERSE Now, boys and girls, just listen here, And a wondrous tale ITl tell Of how the Hammond Basket Ball boys Have made a record swell. They played the first game here at home Way back in gray November And beat Richville, 22 to 7. Of course, you'll all remember. To Waddington they journey- ed next And met a sad defeat. A score of 6 to 16 points Made the enemy's victory sweet. For their third game they play- ed Heuvelton, And beaten were once more, But this time 16 to 14, Was a somewhat better score. “Revenge is sweet,” they soon found out, For in game number four, They beat the old foe Wad- dington With a 19 to 15 score. And now the “bluest” part of all, A tale that's sad I ween. The Rensselaer Falls team drubbed them well, With a score of 6 to 17. Another drubbing they, receiv- ed. This was beating number four. Morristown came and trimmed them well, 10 to 4 was the final score. Again our boys fought with Heuvelton. 'Twas in their own home town. Their 6 to our 14—the score They looked on with a frown. Then Madrid came to visit us, Only to get beat, 20 to 16 was the score, Dy which they met defeat. We made the long, long jour- ney To Richville one winter's night And drubbed them 14 to 7, Much to our delight. Brier Hill met our players, Of the Scarlet and the Brown. 32 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS The shocking score of 15 to 10 Nearly knocked them down. Hammond went to Rensselaer And roasted them up brown, '• By a score of 16 to 11. Then nearly got kicked out of; town. ; And then they met their fifth defeat, In playing Morristown. We read the score boards 12 to 6. With many a sigh and frown. Then they went to Madrid, And thought they'd like a rest. 14 to their 17 Seemed to be their best. They fought their way to the finals, And there they met defeat, They found a worthy foe in Morristown. Whose victory was complete. Success we surely wish you, Team of Scarlet and Brown. Next year we want that silver cup To come to Hammond town. —Irene Baxter. First Medieval Cootie: “It's no fun living in a coat of ar- mor.

She didn’t hear any- thing out of him and she won- dered what made him so quiet. So she said, “Floyd, are you ready to come out?” He did not answer her. So she opened the door and asked him what he was doing. He said, “I’ve pit on your dress, I’ve pit on your shoes and when I’ve made some more pit I’ll pit on your coat.” Dorothy Conger was up at Bates’. There was a cow graz- ing in the field and Dorothy asked Leah: “Is that a Jersey cow?” Leah, equally ignorant, said : “I don’t know. I can’t see its license plate.” Miss McClelland: “What would Washington have done if Lafayette had not answered his call.” Ernestine D.: “I supose he’d have waited in the telephone booth and got his nickel back.” Miss Charter was trying to give her pupils an illustration of the word, “perseverance.” “What is it,” she asked, “that carries us along rough roads and smooth roads, up hills and down hills, through jungles and swamps and raging tor- rents ?” There was silence, and then Howard Moore raised his hand. “Please, Miss Charter,” he said, “There ain’t no such car.” Miss McClelland : “Can any of you tell me what makes the tower of Pisa lean?” Evelyn Campbell: “I’m sure 1 don’t know or I’d take some myself.” Crosby Catlin: “I just killed five flies—two males and three females.” Doris Schermerhorn: “How could you tell whether they were males or females?” Crosby: “Two were on the table and three were looking in the mirror.” Bill Massey (changing tire) : “Oh, Muscle Shoals!” Jim Fletcher: “Why Muscle Shoals ?” Bill: “It’s the biggest dam I know of.” 36 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS ROLL CALL POST GRADUATE William Derby Kenneth Storie Roy Willard SENIORS Leah Bates Evelyn Campbell Doris Foote Cyril McDougall Howard Moore Roscoe Pilger Erva McLear Marshall Tyler o JUNIORS Ella Carter Roger Craig Donald Dunham Maurice Edgar Evelyn Goodwin o Cedric McDougall Bessie Miller 6 W Madolyn Smith � SOPHOMORE . f Crosby Catlin Dorothy Conger P' June Hunter Harold King Donald MacLachlan Isabelle Moore Florence Nicol Virginia Rodger Jean Stiles K FRESHMEN Malcolm Barney X j Irene Baxter X Lucille Brough Harold Chase X Lana Cuthbert X • Hilda Dake Ernstine Demick Vincent Felt James Fletcher Janet Gallagher Rose Gascon William Gleason • Joseph Hague Ivan Hall X Floyd Hunter £ Jack Hughes Carol Johnston Maurice Maloy William Massey ■k GRAMMAR DEPARTMENT Keitha Adkins Mary Chase Catherine Conger Frances Dalton Virginia Fox Elsa Grant Katheryn Massey © HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS 37 Audrey Merritt Catharine Scanlon Lulu Belle Simons Helen Webster Irena Young •- Basil Bass Robert Bertrand Robert Betsinger Robert Bickelhaupt Worth Catlin Rodger Cuthbert Leslie Dunn Edgar Gascon Henry Gascon Victor Hall Bernard Maloy o Franklin McDougall Jack Moore Alton Richardson Delbert Sayles William Schermerhorn Vernon Sla'te INTERMEDIATE DEPT.
