1945: Bill Collis and Herb Griffith

Thanks to Don Whitely, HHS '45 for these photos. Don donated an incredible DVD presentation to the Local History Collection at the Hamilton Library. These are two of the photos. Don is one of the very few of us in the over 60 generation who have taken the time to learn the computer. Well done, Don!

1938: Courtesy and Etiquette Club

What a fascinating and very quaint subject! Good manners and courtesy are not in vogue today in most of the school systems, but back in 1938, the clubs were well attended. The young lady second from left in the third row is my cousin Ruth Williamson Gore.

1938: Hamiton's "Ettiquette Club"

Wow! We sure could use clubs like this in today's schools. Ettiquette has unfortunately been banished to the cobwebs on the back shelf.

1996: HHS '51 - Our 45th

Our 55th is coming up in September at the boathouse in Mercer County Park. The guy you see on the lower left holding the banner doesn't look like that anymore. He's gettin' older than dirt!

1952: Hey 1951 Classmates, Where Are You?

Thanks to Martha Bisbee Bogdan for this graphic from a past reunion of my next door neighbors in the class of '51.

Mr. MAX JORDAN

HERE'S ANOTHER OF THAT GREAT GENERATION OF FACULTY WE HAD AT THE OLD HAMILTON HIGH BEFORE IT BECAME "WEST." MAX JORDAN WAS THE VERY SOFT SPOKEN GENTLEMAN WHO PRESIDED OVER THE MATH MINDED STUDENTS AT HHS.
