We often have fun writing articles, but today’s article is serious; a tragic event left unnoticed. James Henry Short was Hunter High’s first principal. He had a quite calm, and nurturing demeanor while having a great and witty sense of humor. He slipped from us on February 7, 2018. “Once a Wolverine, always a Wolverine.” the school says, for life and death. The Blueprint offers their sincerest condolences to the family, and also to anyone of Hunter’s former students who would remember Short. The viewing was held February 13, and the funeral was held the following day February 14, where his closest friends and family all gathered to celebrate his life and mourn the loss. There is a link to his obituary on Hunter High’s website. He has gone down in history and will be missed by friends, family and fellow peers.
