twenty-two EPI-IEBIANS t PEGGY YOUNG VERNON METTLER BILL MOATS BARBARA GEISSLER HOWARD HILBORN LEAH BOWLBY JIM FOLGER Each year outstanding leaders, selected from the graduating class, are designated Epheb- ians. The number of these honor students is based on a representation of one Ephebian to- every forty graduates. Modeled after the pattern of an ancient Greek order which was composed of the leading youths of Athens, the Ephebian Society turthers the spirit of leadership among the youth of today, from whom America's pioneers of tomorrow will come. The honor of being chosen an Ephebian is one to inspire every Hamiltonian. The opportunity for continued service, not only to the school and community, but, also, to the youth of the nation, is one which should carry the Ephebians on to real achievements.

SENICR AVE OFFICERS The smiling Mr. Bill Moats, who has had the honor of being Senior Aye president for the semester summer '40, is known among his fellow students as a most democratic, friendly person. He is singularly fitted to have been the president of the Pioneers, if by pioneer we mean a leader who initiates. Bill's tenure as president of the Pioneers has seen many innovations in policy which have been advantageous to the seniors. An old fashioned picnic, a social event promoted by him for the seniors, took on a new character from his original planning and personal touch. So thoroughly was the affair enjoyed, that a senior picnic bids fair to be- come a tradition. To be a worthy member of the United States Navy is Bill's plan for life. We foretell that his service will be so well rendered-Message to Garcia type of action- that Hamilton will have cause to be proud of him. Bill has expressed his sincerest hopes for the well- being and success of his fellow Pioneers. BILL MOATS SR. AYE PREXY
