1986: HHS '66 Twentieth Reunion

Hey, there's Ronny Stewart, the best local sportscaster we had in Hamilton...that is, until Cablevision decided that we in Hamilton weren't worthy of local coverage. We miss 'ya, Ronnie, maybe you'll be back if Verizon sees the need for local programming! These Hornets are seen making plans for their 20th high school reunion.

1986: HHS '55 Thirty First Reunion

Thanks to Jack Lacy for this photo from his collection of "Mercer Messengers" from his years as Publisher of the paper. His collection, along with those I have in my collection, and those which remain in the Library, will allow for posting more HHS, Steinert, Nottingham, and other local persons, places, and things. Stay tuned!

1986: HHS West "Interact Club"

Here's one of I hope many posts for my fellow Hornets from the more recent past. Unfortunately, I have had very few files in my collection until Jack Lacy came through with a stack of "Mercer Messengers" from the golden years of that great old community weekly. The Hornets in this photo are probably pushing their 40's by now, and I would like to hear from you if you have any material you would like posted on this site.

Charles "Pop" MItchell

Each of us has a teacher or teachers whom we regard as being an influence. For me the list consists of Julia McLain, Margaret Gaydos and Ruth Margerum at Kuser School, and Louise Baird and Charles Mitchell at Hamilton High. I can still see "Pop" Mitchell in our print shop class with a green visor on his head and his pristine white shirt which provided a stark contrast to that jet black printers' ink in the HHS print shop. Do you remember running those Hamilton "Job" presses, and the noisy "clank" they made when we fed one sheet into the bed, took it out, fed another, then another, then another....?

1946 Bob Reed

Bob was a familiar figure to those Hornets who attended Hamilton back in the latter part of the 1940's. He was an excellent pianist and played in the High School band. The last time I saw Bob he was playing the keyboard in Dick Chime's wonderful Polka Band. Incidentally, Dick is my classmate from HHS '51.
