H.H.S. Alumni Histor The H.H.S. Alumni Association was or- ganized in i883 by the classes of '81 and '82 under the direction of superin- tendent E. C. Ellis. A reception was given for the Class '83 and a Reunion of Alumni and Reception for the new class have been held each year since. At every Reunion, the pro- gram has been opened with the singing of The Students' Reunion and has closed with Auld Lang Syne. Every five years, a history of the Alumni has been read. The members have kept up their interest in the school, and have accomplished many things for its welfare. ln l906 they presented a beautiful silk flag and Green and White Banner and twice since have renewed this gift. ln l9l6 in order to save the First Grade Charter, a sufficient amount of equip- ment was bought to start the Manual Training Department, and the following year, the Domestic Science Department was given its start. From that time on the school board took charge. A School Improvement Fund was raised by means of entertainment by the mem- bers and many gifts were made to the High School including additions to the H. S. Library and a mimeograph for the office. The Alumni Honor Roll containing the names of twenty-eight members who en- tered the regular service, and sixteen who ioined the Students' Training Corps in World War I was framed and hung in the Study Hall. Of this number eight were commissioned officers. The Roll also has the names of two trained nurses, Es- tella O'Rourke, l899, and Myrtle Tracey, l9l3, in service during the war. In World War ll there were two hundred thirty-three Alumni in service, of whom. i7 made the supreme sacrifice.'There was also a large number from our com- munity who served in the Korean War. Since 1881, many have received H.H.S. diplomas, and have gone to the for parts of the earth, many more have es- tablished homes in various parts of their own country. Page One Hundred One
