HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS 7 missed the familiar faces of the class of ’31. How- ever, there were several more new pupils to take their places. One striking change in our school from the pre» ceding year is the seating arrangement of the pupils. Janet now occupies the front seat, but Jean has made no change. Mr. Northrop prefers that she still remain in the foremost row as in previous years. Maybe, when she becomes a senior, she, too, will have the privilege of a seat in the back of the room. Every pupil of Hammond High School has enjoy- ed reading each issue of the Alexandria Bay “ABC” as it has reached us. It is an interesting paper and we wish to extend our hearty congratulations to the Edi- torial Staff. HIGH SCHOOL Laughing girls and noisy boys, Absorbing all of Nature's joys. Teachers trying hard to teach, Students minds far out of reach— That's High School. Bright-eyed students with brilliant minds, Starry-eyed dumb-bells of all kinds. Crowded classrooms here and there. Between bells chaos everywhere — That's High School. Countless lessons hard to do. Reprimands for me and you. A place to spend each passing day,

6 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS EDITORIAL We, the editorial staff, wish to extend our thanks for the kind aid and appreciation shown by our fellow students, the faculty and patronizers in the publication of this, our Year Book. We have worked to the best of our ability to make this edition a success and to pub- lish only what we consider would please our boosters most. CHANGES IN H. H. S. When we ascended the stairs at the opening of school last September, many changes greeted our eyes. The interior had been redecorated during the vacation period, new desks had been added, old ones revarnish ed and everything took on the appearance of being spick and span. The walls of the study hall had given up their greenish cast for a coat of cream color, the woodwork glistened with its brightly varnished surface and the old recitation seats at the front of the room had been removed. Soon after the opening of school six- teen new desks were added in this room as a result of the large enrollment. The classroom, which was formerly only one room, had been divided into two parts — one in which our new teacher, Miss Brooks, presided and the other in which Miss Charter takes her place. In Miss Brooks' room seats of entirely new type had been added. The curriculum has also been enlarged by the addition of English Grammar, Economic Geography, Economic Cit- izenship, Latin III and French III. When our school life was renewed last fall, we

HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS And be out of our parents’ way — That’s High School. Yet, though we may shirk and fool, And do our best to break each rule, At High School. Let someone criticize its worth, And we’ll drive him right off the earth. It’s Our School! OUR ASSEMBLYS I think that one of the most important days of the week is Friday. This is not wholly due to the fact that school closes at three-thirty, but it is linked with the fact that we have Assembly. We often think that speaking before an audience is comparatively easy. When we attempt it, however, for the first time we are very much frightened. Each per- son who speaks has special training on the intended sub- ject. In our Glee Club we have a special music teacher who helps us. Our boys’ sextette and our girls’ quartet have become entertaining through the combined efforts of the teachers. In speaking or singing before a group we gain a certain amount of poise and self-confidence which is essential to every entertainer. After we have spoken or sung before a group, we appreciate what others do. The Assemblys break up the routine of the week and are generally looked forward to with much pleasure. I believe that our Assemblys are valuable to the students and not a waste of time for, as the saying goes, “School does not only prepare you for life, but is life.” —Jean Stiles.
