varied means of expression- Boys' and , Girls' State , Enthusiasm ran high as politics came alive for students across the nation, Boys and girls entered the campaign trail, elected officials, and set up their own respective Boys' and Girls' States. From these mythical states, sponsored by the American Legion and Auxiliary, Senators Michael Rade and Susan Harris gained invaluable practice in American citizenship through active participation in government processes. Debates, lectures, entertainment, and recreation were mixed with the heat of political activity and contributed to the value of the experience. 3 i Rade, Harris. Model U.N. i And, in this picture, we are saving the q Q35 world! -Well, maybe not quite, but the ' United Nations is trying. The main pur- ' pose of the Model U.N. is to help students become acquainted with the workings of the full-scale United Nations. With the help of their sponsor, Mr. Edwin Osborne, participants studied the world as the Venezuelan delegates of the Latin Amer- ican Bloc. Perhaps the difhculties they encountered helped them understand the many troubles in the world today. Bottom Row: Sampson, Meloy, Lillie, Mr. Osborne, Leonard, Rade.

That's what four seniors and five juniors from Hamburg, under the direction of Mr. Charles Teague, competed for this April at the Syracuse Citizenship Confer- ence. Their grades, various test scores, recommendations from school authorities, and a variety of school activities qualified these students to compete in the all-day conference. The final selection of recipients was made at the conference on the basis of prepared and impromptu discussions and speeches. Again, as in the past years, Hamburg representatives distinguished themselves- Calkins, Mom, Harris, Minka, Lillie. Bottom Row: Mr. Glor, Fleming, Miller, Bowman, Mr. Teague. Second Row: Rade, 21

Third Row: Rade, Brownell, Lillie, Pruss, Gordon, Leitten, Sampson, Minkel. i'Credit where credit is due might well be the theme of the academic letter assembly. Maintaining an average of at least ninety, up to the junior year, for a minor letter, or having a minor letter and an average of at least ninety up to the senior year for a major letter, in a school as com- petitive as Hamburg, is a feat worth rewarding. The aca- demic letter is distinguished by the lamp of knowledge, a symbol chosen by a committee of teachers five years ago. Hamburg High School prides itself on its scholastic excel- lence. Truly we should be proud of these representatives of this hard-earned achievement. MINOR Bottom Row: Terrell, Beckley, Romance, Peterson, Corson, Miller, S. Dickerson.

In addition, this organization participated in and sponsored numerous programs throughout the school year. Meeting every other Wednesday after school, under the advisorship of Mr. Edwin Osborne and leadership of Christopher Bond, the Student Council sponsored a foster child, held the annual Christmas dance for H.H.S. graduates, and ran the welcome refreshment stand during last year's football season. One of its major activities was raising funds for the School to School plan through which a new school in South America is being built. It was a very successful year! Bottom Row: Hare, R.
