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.
