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.

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
