Harry Major, HHS retired English Teacher was found dead in his condo last week. Detectives are calling it a homicide, but no new information is available as yet.

No news of a memorial or funeral as yet. We did hear that there was blunt trauma to his head and his credit cards were missing, but this newest information is not confirmed.

Harry challenged every one of his students to "think."  He wanted all of us to learn and, in doing so, to begin (at our young ages) to really ponder and understand life, issues, conflicts and ironies...and to florish creatively.   He was a great teacher and, over 50 years, he's been a good friend.  Please, if any one hears about a memorial service or, knowing Harry, a plain old get-together to reminise, let me know.  I would be glad to help.  Jane Martin Class of W'59.  562.496.4659 or jemjoym@aol.com

Mr. Major`s came to some of our Class Partie`s and Class Reunion`s, I attended. He was very nice, I thought. I never had him for English Class, when I was at HHS. I graduated in the class of W `65. It was sad hearing about what happened to him, on Thursday night`s Local New`s. So sad and un-fair! He will be missed!

His was a tough class, very demanding and fair.  A good friend to HHS alumni.  He apparently went out in dramatic fashion, I hope not, he had enough drama in life. RIP Mr. Majors
