The 1918 Hackensack High School yearbook shown below, has a
“Senior Honor Roll” list, which we have just discovered, of five students who they paid tribute to for joining the service. Among those five names is Russell Hastings. Russell Hastings is also mentioned in the yearbook at the end of the article “History of the Class of 1918” . In the yearbook where it has the photo and then the list of the names of graduates under the heading ‘STATISTICS’.
Russell Hastings appears as such:
NAME |
NICK NAME |
EXPRESSION |
OCCUPATION |
AMBITION |

Orie |
(Sh! He’s in the Army!) |
Walking to Anderson Street |
Colonel Hastings |
Russell Hastings died of the flu while in the service.
Let us not forget this young man's sacrifice.
