HEREWITH A SELECT FEW OF MY "NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS" FROM THE CLASS OF 1952 AT HAMILTON HIGH. AS I PAGED THROUGH THE 1952 "RETROSPECT" YEARBOOK, I PONDERED ON EACH AND EVERY PICTURE, RECALLED AN INCIDENT OR TWO WHICH RELATED TO MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT PARTICULAR PERSON, AND ADDED HIM OR HER TO THIS VIGNETTE. I INCLUDED THE PHOTOS OF THE GIRLS I LOVED, THE GIRLS THAT WERE THE SUBJECT OF MY NUMEROUS TEEN AGE CRUSHES, THE GUYS I KNEW, FONDLY RECALLING THE GREAT TIMES WE HAD PLAING UNSUPERVISED GAMES OF BASEBALL AT PLAAG'S GROVE, USUALLY WITH A BASEBALL RE-WRAPPED WITH FRICTION TAPE, AND A BRICK OR A TIN CAN LID FOR BASES. I PAUSED AN EXTRA MINUTE OR TWO AND RECALLED THAT HANDOME NAVY OFFICER, HAROLD BILLS, TO WHOM THE CLASS DEDICATED THE 1952 YEARBOOK. I RECALL THE LOOK ON THE GIRLS' FACE WHENEVER HE ENTERED A CLASS ROOM DRESSED IN HIS NAVY OFFICER'S UNIFORM.
