Charles Turri'l took up the story. He
was editor of the Lincoln Observer, the
school paper, ip 1863.
1T is great to have gone to school in
those days. he said. ITO have been
the classmate of men like Tom Geary
John Britton. Francis Heney. Red
Shaen, Jack McDade, George Mastick
and a host of others. You won't have
to look into Who's Who to find out who
they are today OF course, every man
thinks his own school days were just
about the right days. / suppose the
modern schools are manufacturing some
pretty excellent citizens, but we think
the old Lincoln did herself proud The
boys have gone forth into all walks of
life. They are prominent in civic af
fairs and literary circles. The names of
we'll known bankers, statesmen, lawyers
and merchants are written on the hy
leaves of little dog cared books that
used to lie on the Lincoln desks Eight
or nine boys in one class went into the
theatrical business, These are: David
Belascv, the well known playwright;
the Ackermans, Sig Ackerman and his
brother; James Burrows, the actor; Tom
Mcguire, Charley Morre1 Charles f.
Gall and William Parent"
other men who belonged to the first
class of old Lincoln school are George
Hamlin Fitch, news editor of the
Chronicle: Charles p. Waldron. editor
of the Santa Cruz Sentinel and Charles
Hoffman, the musician.
Of course every meeting has been one
of Renaissance. At the second ban
quet, given at the Argonaut hotel on
February II of this year. the grownup
schoolboys matched stories as they
used to match pennies. More than 100
of the old students were present at
this banquet.
Hammersmith fell into the bay and
came up with a baby In one hand and a
carpet sack in the other?"
1t seems that Hammersmith, who was
simply "Hammy' in those days. was re-
turning from his vacation over on the
Oakland side staggering under the
weight of big carpet sack stuffed
with snake skins, his summer CORE.
spondence and lot Of other treasures
dear to boys heart. When he stepped
on the gangplank down at the ferry
slip the plank broke
The awful weight of Hammy's car
pet sack chimed in some one; "the
company should have sued him."
Anyway, Hammy fell into the bay
and on top of him went the carpet
sack and somebody's baby. He knew
how to swim all right, but was handi-
capped by his clothes. BY dint.of much
exertion he managed to grab hold of
the baby and piece of the plank. He
padded to the pier, where ropes were
let down. Hammy tied the baby to a
rope and it was drawn up. Then he
happened to look back. There, away
out by the stern of the boat bobbing
up on the sbriny deep. fioated his carpet
sack containing his beloved treasures.

Hammy was the prize athlete of the
school. The boys thought of training
him for a prizefighter. They don't know
how he happened to get sidetracked by
the jewelry business.
At the second banquet the rollcall of
the old principals. beginning with Ira
G. Holt, Rev. NJ. T. Luckey and Bern
hard Marks, met with one response.
Professor Marks, white haired and be-
nign, was there in person. The boys
have all gone back to their nicknames.

Hammy .vvn one swift thought
concerning comparative values-and
plunged in again. Other unfortunates
were still struggling in the water
women were tearing their hair, chill
dren were screaming-but through all
the din Hammy stroked out manfully
after that carpet sack. Hammy got 1t.
cIutched it in his teeth like dog. and
started his swim back. Twice he al
most went under from exhaustion, but
the men on the pier flung a rope way
out and pulled him in.
Afterward the Turn Verein up in Sac

for saving the baby, but they did not
give him anything for saving the car
pet sack; that to his mind Just then

almost startling in the daring Of their
