SN -Y few SQ' Qs at 'ffl aw Q Hantiltonps illlctiv ities AYS are drifting into years and we, the school children of today, are rapidly developing into the young men and women of tomorrow. We have probably not realized the rapid develop- ment in our education during the preced- ing years. Hamilton has offered usa great many things which, perhaps, we have not real- ized. Among the most beneficial subjects to every student are the languages, Eng- lish and Spanish. English is required and is taken during the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, while Spanish is an elective and may be taken only by ninth grade students. Proper English is essential in everyday life: and Spanish, although a foreign lang- uage, is spoken extensively throughout Cal- ifornia and is therefore beneficial to al- most every student. Both English and Span- ish languages play a prominent part in other nations. If a person can speak English and Spanish, he may converse with the people of two-thirds the territory of the world. Mathematics has played a prominent part in our developement. This includes Algebra, Arithmetic, and Business Math- ematics. It has developed our minds to be alert, keen and clear. Social Science and' Citizenship have helped the students in a great many ways. It has taught loyalty, patriotism, honesty, and the other qualities which go to make the proper kind of man or woman. Music and art have developed talent which would have otherwise been lost. It has tended to create a respect for beauty, art and music. Different clubs have been organized through these two subjects, and it has given a great many talented boys and girls a chance to display their ability. This i i2?'v'7Z ? ' 3' '. aaam.a.e'Q 4 is what the schools have tried to do, and Hamilton has certainly succeeded. General Science is in a class of its own. It possesses many beneficial things of which we should have taken advantage. It teaches us the fundamentals of our surroundings and of the wonderful things of which our world is composed. i The shops have bee J installed in the pub- lic schools only a few years. Hamilton is one Of the few schools possessing a variety. Every opportunity has 'been offered us through the shops. They have tended to direct a great many boys towards their life work. This is the greatest aim of a school, and a great portion of such decisions have been made through the shops. They have the most modern equipment and therefore have afforded the students the best of knowledge and experience. Home Arts have afforded the girls op- portunities. They have been taught in the best manner possible the many arts in caring for the home. ' Physical Education is very beneficial to the boy or girl. It has ,tended to develope his health. His strength in body has been improved. It has also taught us qualities which are as necessary to a boy or girl as English, Spanish, Algebra or any other subject. That is the moral Side of our physical ability. It has taught us to be clean in speech and to be sportsmanlike. It has taught us to co-oper- ate with one another. All these qualities found in the different subjects compose the real upright, loyal, patriotic, honest. home loving American citizen. They have developed our mental, moral and physical ability to the utmost, so now We must make use of this ability and of these rich qualities which we should treasure so dearly. We, the students of Hamilton, should appreciate these many wonderful opportunities of which, few schools can boast. Twenty-seven , N R, ,i , N ,S . ,K . . 953, X ,sf egg si .xx s.
