Remember these stories that appeared in print?
...in the Sunday Star, January 19, 1958
"Hammond High Builds on Navy Traditions";
and from the "SALVO" on May 29, 1962, ‘WORK’ OF
A DAY IN SALVO IS DESCRIBED
and in 1964, in "Hammond Seal Gets ‘Navy
Style’ Guard".

Notice!
2006 News Wrap Up! The big
weekend is here - and we are putting the final touches on the
events.
We wish we could have accommodated everyone who wanted
to participate, but we truly have a full house! All tickets
have been purchased (and paid for) and all seats filled.
Please make sure your name appears on the (soon to be updated)
attendees' page at
on the 50th Anniversary page. No tickets sold at the door!
The events registration table at the hotel will open
Saturday at 4:00 - make sure you check in and pick up your ID
badge. It will give you access to the cocktail party,
dinner/dance and the Sock Hop at Hammond on Sunday.
On Saturday, the cocktail party is from 6:00 - 7:00 in
the Gazebo, and the Dinner/Dance follows in the Ballroom at
7:00. The tables in the Ballroom will be identified by class
year with balloons flying high, and will open immediately
following the cocktail party (not before!)
We have a class photo schedule that requires some
precision, so please note the times! (The photographer will be
setting up in the Wythe Room in the same hallway as the
Ballroom) Informal shots will appear on a website at a later
time, but you will be able to purchase the class photos that
evening for $20.00 each.
The photo schedule: Teachers 8:30; 1958 - 8:40; 1959 -
8:50; 1960 - 9:00; 1961 - 9:10; 1962 - 9:20; 1963 - 9:30; 1964
- 9:40; 1965 - 9:50; 1966 - 10:00; 1967 - 10:10; 1968 - 10:20;
1969 - 10:30; 1970 - 10:40; 1971 - 10:50. Other groups such as
fraternities, sororities, sports groups, etc., will be taken
after the class photos.
The Sock Hop is Sunday from 12:00 - 3:00 in the Hammond
Cafeteria. Park in back of the school, come into the cafeteria
for an enjoyable afternoon of fine food and good music, and
one more chance to be together. Get ready for a stroll down
memory lane - there will be a phenomenal display of our high
school memorabilia - too much to be displayed Saturday night!
Socks are optional! (again, you must be pre-registered for
this event)
The school itself is a hard hat area again, and one big
construction zone. We won't have access to many areas.
Almost every class is having a Friday night event. If
you don't know who to contact, please let me know. And band
members, don't forget the reunion with Roy Smith!
And finally, a very good friend and thoughtful person
addressed her classmates with these words. I can't do better,
so I am going to borrow from her:
"The 50th gala anniversary committee has asked all us
reunion organizer to let people know that ONLY those who have
pre-registered for the Saturday (and Sunday) event will be
permitted to attend. It's going to be wall-to-wall people, and
they have to be very strict about not exceeding the current
number. It's about obeying the fire code, keeping the
insurance valid, and simply having room in the room to move
around. So....no matter your charm or the money you offer, if
haven't pre-registered, they can't and won't let you in"
