"Pop" Mitchell: A Gentleman's Gentleman

Thanks to Don Wright, HHS 45 for this photo of Charles "Pop" Mitchell. I had Mr. Mitchell for 2 years of print shop. I can still hear Pop's veddy veddy British accent. He was replaced by Bob Toft in the early 1950's.

1947: Jim Coursen


Nearly every faculty member had a nickname. They weren't insulting nicknames. Jim Coursen was known as "Jim Crow." He was a strict disciplinarian, but a true gentleman. The only disciplinary run-in that I experienced in my high school years was when I was sneaking a between class kiss from Judy in the hallway. A definite HHS "no-no."

YOUR INPUT IS VERY WELCOME!

OK HORNETS, HERE'S THE DEAL: I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING MEMORABILIA ON GOOD OLD HHS SINCE MY ARMY DISCHARGE YEAR OF 1958. I HAVE A LARGE COLLECTION OF PRE-1952 MATERIAL, AND VERY LITTLE FOR THE 1953 THROUGH 1959 YEARS. ANY SCANS YOU CAN SEND ME WILL BE CREDITED TO YOU AND INCLUDED AS A POST, UNLESS YOU REQUEST ANONYMITY.
PROGRAMS, PHOTOS, OR YOUR OWN
PERSONAL REMINISCENCES
WILL BE HAPPILY RECEIVED.
SEND THEM TO thomglo@verizon.net
