1948: THE GREATEST GENERATION - Pg. 1

Here is page one of the faculty we all came to know and love. Most of them have passed away, and they are sorely missed. Carl "Ace" Abbott, is still active. I'm not sure, but I think Morris Agress, Helen Sadley, and Harold Bills are also with us. If you know otherwise, please let me know.

Bernie Hughes, Ed Marchand, Lea Terry

These three guys were an integral part of the Hamilton sports program back in the 40's. I recently read an old column in which Ed Marchand gave up teaching because of the inadequate salary. I was one of his students as a sophomore, and always thought hHe was a great "phys-ed" teacher. Once again, thanks to Mr. Lea Terry for this photo.
