1956: HERE COMES A n HHS 55th REUNION!

"HOAGLAND," in a subtle-as-a-crutch email, reminded me that my math is slipping; a message with which Max Jordan would be in complete agreement.

The error has been corrected.

I received this announcement from my friend Jack Lacy, HHS '56. Here's another historic milestone from the best high school that every existed,

HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL!

Congratulations to all those seniors from that class who are now card-carrying seniors!

1956: DECEASED FROM HAMILTON HIGH CLASS OF 1956

Thanks to Jack Lacy for this updated listing of Hornets who have passed on. They will be in our prayers and our memories.

1969: HAMILTON'S JIM COURSEN RETIRES

Back in the 1960's and early 1970's, "Charles Van" created quite a community controversy as he wrote a number of very controversial and critical columns relating to the inefficiencies of the Hamilton Township school system. A number of letters to the editor suggested that "Charles Van" was a pen name, and the actual author should identify himself. As my research continues, I may find more information on the writer. In the meantime, he wrote this article on the retirement of Jim Coursen; "Jim Crow" as we called him back during my Hamilton High School years. .
