Wow, at least when I was at Hamilton in the years 1948 through 1951, we had our "intramural" sporting events on the open field on the right side of the photo. The Pittman field on the immediate left is now Hamilton High West's main athletic field. And to all my fellow Hornets who remember, there's that "3rd pole" that we had to visit when we wanted a smoke....remember?

CIRCA 1945: HAMILTON HIGH IN ANOTHER GENERATION

I remember that 3rd pole very well.
Chesterfields was my poisen.
Ahh yes Lee. I remember that third pole very well. For me it was Luck Strike.

I note the apartment project on the right. I had my first "slug" of wine in the basement "clubhouse" of one of those buildings in about 1962 while they sang the ... "you get a nickle, I'll get a dime" .... "spodieodie" song.

I lived on Park Avenue on the other side of Broad. I can remember driving home and passing Hamilton High from this view. My uncle, Carl Moldovan, was a teacher there for many years.
CATHY:
If we had more Carl Moldovans in our educational system, we would have a far better student performance record. Even though I never formally met him, he told it like it was and was one of my heroes.
