,haf X... , -. , The Freshman Class History ln january in the year of 1929, eighteen of the greenest freshmen that ever entered Hamilton High School came up to the study hall from the eighth grade. We had passed all of our regents in half a year and each felt as puffed up as a large balloon. We entered the study hall with chests forward and heads high. We were greeted by anfunusual amount of applause. We ex- pected a certain amount of razzing but thought we got more than ourshare. We freshmen lowered our heads and turned fore red. At that moment we could have changed places with the smallest tacks in the floor. That razzing had destroyed our pride completely and we scrambled to our seats in the quick- est way possible. Once settled in our proper seats the year sped on quickly, the freshmen causing much commotion. Then started the new year. New freshmen were added to the groups of half year pupils. A meeting was held during September, 1929, and officers were elected. VVilliam Chambers was chosen president, LeMoyne Betts, vice- presidentg Elizabeth Smith, treasurer: Dorothy Edkins, secretary,and Hilda Gaylord the representative for the Students' Council. We have cheer and song leaders who lead yells and songs at our meetings. The freshmen girls gave a play at Assembly, November 13, 1929, which was a marked success. The freshman-sophomore party was given on Decem- ber 14, 1929 at which Santa Claus was a welcome visitor. Each member of the class received a present. The party was a memorable event. In january 1930 the much dreaded examinations were held, the freshmen averaging good marks. Then fifteen eight graders joined us. The aim of this class is to be the largest and most successful class that ever went through Hamilton High School and we feel we are well on our way. P. J. B. '34. Twenty
