:'A.5 I T' tw 40 amilion Nearly 2,900 strong, we Hamiltonians were crowd- ed into every inch of space available on the campus this semester. We discovered that six minutes weren't enough as we floated with the crowds to classes. Our lockers were full of everyone's books but our own and the lunch court was so cramped that one way or another you couldn't go across the twenty-five yards comprising it in anything less than ten minutes. Nevertheless, conditions were to be alleviated- next year. Meanwhile, no one was able to think because of the noise created by the erection of the new 'pre-fab' building. This was a minor distur- bance compared to the aud repairing and the sound proofing of the halls. The results were worth the trouble, however. Activities and classes continued in spite of the interferences and the nine period day. Each week the activity case in the main hall featured many sports nights, rallies and assemblies. Although the Student Body Welcome Assembly and Installation Assembly were much the same as before, other assemblies took on a new look with the Student Body Nomination Bally staged in the form of a nom- ination convention. ln addition to Faculty l:'rolic, a talent show was portrayed as This ls a Life? based on a take-off of This ls Your Life. It fea- tured many versatile students by introducing the performers as acquaintances of the teachers whose lives were revealed. Our February Patriotic Assem- bly was presented as a time machine which took the audience back to the past of Washington and Lincoln, and honored Brotherhood Week, Negro Week and Foreign Languages' Week. . ,. . 1535 W Www vlan'-N
