Fort Hamilton HS throws big bash to mark 75th anniversary
Alumni return to share memories of their teenage years
Judith Gordon, Elaine Fisher and Maxine Krantz were strolling through the corridors of Fort Hamilton High School on Saturday afternoon smiling and reminiscing about what it was like to be students there in the 1950s.
The ladies agreed that one of their favorite memories was hanging out on Shore Road. “They used to let us outside for 15-minute breaks to go smoke. They knew the kids smoked,” Fisher (Class of 1953) told the Brooklyn Eagle.
It’s hard to imagine high school administrators today giving students a cigarette break.
