Three concessions each netted a siz- able amount to fill the treasury for senior expenses. Picked to represent the juniors on the Student Council were Julia Koenig, Conard Dahn, and De- Witt Randall. Julia was elected secretary of the organization, and Conard became treasurer. Class oflicers were James Getchonis, Presidentg Janice Burgess, Vice-President, Joyce Pierson, Secretary: and Erich Kessler, Treasurer. The class had eleven people in this year's or- chestra, and played an important part in band and the choruses. The students worked on play com- mittees and prize speaking. Nancy Westcott and Jim Getchonis were members of the Press Club. Mary Jane Chase, Carol Eccleston, and Nancy Westcott earned the twelve points necessary for admission into Masquers. Several juniors gained valuable experience on the Hamiltonian staffs. Nirs Lois B jorkman icing Nancy Westcott was on the Literary board Kirk Benedict was George Mundt s right hand man on the photography staff and Carol Eccleston worked on the art board Many others contributed their time and effort in typing and paste ups Mary Jane Chase Carol Eccleston and Julia Koenig cheered valiantly throughout the football and basketball seasons. Conard Dahn, Jim Get- chonis, Hopp Hadley, Dale Ogden, Brian Palmiter, John Powell, DeWitt Randall, and Fred Whitney, football playersg and Wade Rockafellow, DeWitt Randall, and Bill Mitchell, Gary Matteson, Jim Getchonis, and Conard Dahn, basketball players, gave them a lot to cheer for. The junior representatives on Girls' Sports Council are Lillian Muller and Joyce Pierson. They helped pick the various girls' teams, which several juniors succeeded in making. The juniors in Mr. Linck's chemistry class took field trips to the Colgate Physics Laboratory, Oneida Community, Inc., and Norwich Pharmacal Co. On the last trip they became intimately acquainted with the production of Pepto-Bismol. 621' Jw is Row 1.' P. Tuzzo. M. Ripley, P. Parker, B. Snyder, J, Unger. R. Palmiter, P. Schoelz. A. Stapleton.

With emergence into high school have come several firsts for the class. For one, Stuart Lamb was its first represen- tative on the Student Council. Then too, it was a pleasant change to be called freshmen, rather than ninth graders. A social first, and a thrill for the girls especially, was going to the Almeda Ball. The big concerted effort of the class was the bonfire, before the Chittenango football game. The night was clear, the bonfire bright and crackly, the boys enthusiastic. It must have provided the needed impetus, for the team proceeded to lick Chittenango in its sole victory of the season. This year also marked the class' first attempt at spon- soring concessions, which proved profitable. 6415 Mari Lou Amendola, Peggy Fenner, and jane Toss were cheerleaders for the class, cheering loudest for Bill Armstrong, Dick Charles, Jim Chesbro, Vincent Giordano, Fred Hodge, and David Lane, football players, and JV basketball players Dick Charles, David Lane, Kirk Randall and Doug Wilson. ln a dramatic move, the frosh participated in both prize speaking and the plays. Carol Longyear, Charles Bash, and James Dalgety won parts in the one-act plays. Dick Evans was the lone freshman in Press Club, he handled all sports reporting. Many freshmen were in band, orchestra, and glee club. The girls were engaged in various sports, and were represented on Girls' Sports Council by Jesse Austin and Marie Sacco. 6 bdy-.4 Row 1: E.

Fairchild, M, Thrg, M, Me,-kr H0 OR SOCIETY The Hamilton High School chapter of the National Honor Society opened the school year 1955-1956 with six senior-class members. These students, initiated the previous June, were Susan Schapiro, Marian Thro, Leigh Fitchen, Dave Mor- gan, Catherine Rogers, and Bill Fairchild. This group chose as the year's officers Catherine Rogers, Presidentg Leigh Fitchen, Vice-President, and Dave Morgan, Secretary-Treasurer. At the January ceremony two more senior mem- bers were admitted. New initiates Samuel Case and Harold Rollins were welcomed into the Society in the formal ritual. Although the Society is known as an inactive organization, its members hope to start a precedent this spring by having a dinner for the Honor So- cieties of neighboring schools. What with this and charter revision and money-raising, advisor Miss Cook hopes that this society of honored students can make its presence felt more than it has in the past. 1 .

Amt-ndola Miss Eunice Gardner Campaign posters and tags sprouted like mush- rooms late last September, as the student body pre- pared to elect its eleven-membergoverningorganiza- tion, the Student Council. Victorious after the votes had been counted were seniors William Fairchild, Judith Moore, Susan Schapiro, and Marian Throg juniors Conard Dahn, Julia Koenig, and DeWitt Randall, sophomores Ronald Sacco and Mary Jane Verrog freshman Stuart Lamb, and junior high repre- sentative Daniel Amendola. The officers, which are also chosen by the entire student body, are William Fairchild, President: Judith Moore, Vice-Presidentg Julia Koenig, Secretary: and Conard Dahn, Treasurer. The duties and activities of the Council include selling Student Association tickets and individual photographs, granting the requests of organizations J STUDE T COUNCI for concessions and dances, assisting supervision at basketball games, trimming a Christmas tree in the high school hall, and planning and presenting the annual Christmas assembly. The members are frequently called upon to present the student's point of view on questions of discipline and policy, and to serve on faculty-student committees considering such problems. as the lunch hour and pep rallies. The Council voperated popcorn machine keeps chugging along, collecting dimes which are invested in savings bonds for the Student Council's contribution to the new school. On the spring agenda are the annual March of Dimes bake sale, which last year netted an all-time high of S24o.H7, a Student Council dance, and the second annual Award Night. Row 1: S. Schapiro. P.

The year's activities began in November with the presentation of two one-act plays, under the direction of Mrs. Bjorkman. In Charity Ball a boy, played by Jonathan Hartshorne, prepared for a big date amid chaos contributed to by his father, Scott Morgan, his mother, Gail Keyes, his aunt, Connie Alvordg his sister, Carol Longyear, and MASQUERS an enthusiastic drummer, Dick Breitenstein. In Shock of His Life a father, played by Dave Morgan, thought he was about to die. His unsym- pathetic fellow players were: Joan Longyear, as his wife, Jim Dalgety, Sharon O'Connor, and Ann Knowlton, as his children, and Charles Bash as a friend. The Society's activities for the year will be rounded out by the prize speaking contest in March, the three-act play in May, and the election of next year's officers at the annual banquet in June. aww swam is 5:3 I ull ,M asian - H uni K l 0 Row 1: S.

Case Miss Isabelle F aut-ette The Hamilton High School Press Club, having weathered its first year as an official organization, has proved to be so successful that many people wonder how the school got along without it. Mem- bers and those interested in joining submit school news to the Mid-York Weekly, and publish school news before the Christmas and Easter holidays. At the first meeting, a small group Chalf the club graduated last yearl elected Susan Schapiro, Presidentg George Mundt, Vice-President, Connie Alvord, Secretary 3 and Sam Case, Treasurer. Invi- tations to join were sent to those who had written the required amount for the paper. Membership may also be gained by typing the weekly articles or PRESS CL B by having a certain number of photographs printed in the newspaper. The Press Club's major project, the Christmas publication, was undertaken in December. The Christmas Courier turned out to be a smashing success. Among its many improved features were: a three-color cover, more legible print, and two crossword puzzles. In fact, the whole paper was renovated, including the price, which went up fifteen cents. However, everyone must have felt it was worth it for all copies were sold. With more such successes in sight and with its membership increasing steadily, the Club is looking forward to the rest of a successful year.

Miss Eunice Gardner There are probably few school activities which are more noticed in the village than the initiation of new members with which the Almeda Literary So- ciety begins its year's activities. The initiates are sophomore girls with an average of at least eighty- five and junior and senior girls with an eighty or better average, all of whom have been approved by the Society. Among the impersonations required of the future Almedas this year were a caterpillar, a Ubangi, a Chinaman, a clown, a witch, Peter Pan, and a cave man. The Almedas are led this year by President Catherine Rogersg Vice-President, Carol Ecclestong L EDAS Secretary, Marjorie O'Brien, and Treasurer, Bonnie Pierson. A Christmas party, complete with carols, refreshments, and games, was held at the President's home. The annual ten-cent supper and a concession at a basketball game provided money for the long- awaited Almeda Ball, which was held on February ll th. The Campus Serenaders furnished appropriate music for the starry Stairway to the Stars theme of the decorations. Spring events include the election of officers for the coming year and the gala banquet to which the sophomore and junior girls treat the senior Almedas. Row 1: Mr. Carlson. D. Usher. S. Lamb, F.

One of the most enterprising of their activities this year was the annual Christmas tree sale held at the school. This effort netted more than three hundred dollars, much of it received from perennial customers, and helped bring the treasury to over one thousand dollars. The Hamilton Chapter of the FFA also partici- F.F.A. pated in the 1955 New York State Crop Demon- stration Program, sponsored by the GF L. Its experiment on oat varieties placed tenth out of oy, chapters taking part throughout the state. At the Morrisville Regional Judging Contest in January, the Hamilton team won the first place trophy for apple judging. In the spring the members will set 7 5,000 ever- green trees ordered by area farmers for refores- tation of marginal lands. Also, in May the Future Farmers will attend the annual Dairy Cattle Show. ,Tl Row If J. Evans, J. Wilson. J. Unger, B. Bailey. B. Thayer, B. Pierson, J. Pierson, P. Bethlehem. J. Smith . Row 2: M.

One of the first big activities of the group was their Thanksgiving Dance. Money raised by it will be augmented by proceeds from a bake sale. At Christmas time the girls sent food to a needy family, and enjoyed their own party. A new innovation this year was a bulletin board F.H. . in the main building presenting in colorful fashion the activities and type of work being done by the organization. Another new idea, still in the nebu- lous stage, is the creation of a Junior FHA for the seventh and eighth grade girls, who are eager for one. Two big social events are at present in the planning stage. They are the Faculty Tea in February or March, and the Mother and Daughter Banquet, the finale of the year's activity, in May or June. . t -... ... . V. . 4 .3 Q ,B. Bc d .D. C' ' . N. Dunham. S.

Knowlton, has enjoyed a full year. Officers elected early in the fall are: President, Leigh Fitcheng Vice-President, William Fairchild: Secre- tary, Susan Schapiro, and Treasurer, Nancy West- cott. Helping to keep the organization running smoothly are Quartermaster Claire Henshaw and Librarians Jonathan Hartshorne, George Mundt, and Kay Stanley. The marching band, led by its Drum Major, Donald Carroccio, and Drum Majorette Nancy Dunham, presented halftime shows at home football games. The band also joined thirty-five others in the area for Cornell's third annual Band Day, held October :oth in Ithaca. With everyone pitching in, a magazine campaign reaped record profits exceeding S4oo. Some of the proceeds were used to buy new twirlers' uni- forms, and a large part of the rest went to equip the football field with a public address system. Hamilton Central was well represented in the All-County and Sectional All-State bands. Members of the All-County Band were: Catherine Rogers, Conard Dahn, and Donna Blanchard, clarinetsg Carol Eccleston, oboeg Susan Schapiro, flute, Jona- than Hartshorne, cornetg Ann Hoben, French horn, and Leigh Fitchen and Hopp Hadley in the per- cussion section. Susan Schapiro, Carol Eccleston, and Conard Dahn also played in the Sectional All- State Band at Whitesboro Central School. Rounding out the concert band season, there will be in April, the annual Band Concert to dem- onstrate the year's work, and participation in the County Festival and theNYSSMAcompetitivecon- test at Hartwick College, Oneonta. Marching Band will be revived for the Memorial Day parade. ln the summer there will be band concerts in the park, the fireman's field day, and the Jamboree , A I . o Q , Mt g0 fi. R0ll'I.' L.

Evans MIXED V Mr. William Knowlton During the last two years there has been a very noticeable increase of interest in group singing. There are now three good-sized choruses: Senior Girls, Junior High Girls, and a Mixed Chorus for grades nine through twelve. The Junior High boys are also agitating for a group of their own and it seems very probable that this will materialize be- fore the year ends. The Mixed Chorus, revived last year by popular CHORUS demand, has become quite expert. It took part in the Christmas program and expects to participate in Music Night. The Senior Girls Chorus and the Mixed Chorus together sent thirteen girls and three boys to the County Music Festival last fall. The success and popularity of the choruses are due largely to Miss Gaylord and Mr. Knowlton, who have made the groups enjoyable and worthwhile. UU Rau' 1: E. Dahn. j. Fitchen. S. Eccleston. M.

It now has twenty-five members and is affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Its primary purpose is to improve the knowledge and skill of its members in the proper care and handling of firearms. Everyone who joins the club must memorize and strictly obey a stringent safety code. Practices are held three nights a week at the firing range in the basement of the school. RIFLE CLUB By next year the group hopes to enter interscho- lastic competition. In the meantime the riflemen are increasing their proficiency under the direction of Mr. Pierce, faculty advisor, and the leadership of officers Ronald Sacco, Presidentg Donald Charles, Secretaryg Francis Brennan, Vice-President 3 Carlton McLean, Treasurer, and William Moon, Executive officer.

Mitchell ARSIT Y FOOTBALL On September Hrst, go grid hopefuls answered Coach Walt Moore's call to practice. In his second year at the Emerald's helm, Mr. Moore had nine lettermen around which to form the nucleus of the team. Returning were ends Dahn and Getchonis, tackles Koenig and Walsh, guard Bob Kinney, center Fred Whitney, fullback Gordon Duheme, quarterback Tom Rausa and halfback Dick Breit- enstein. Mr. Moore and his assistant, Mr. Wheeler, began at once to whip their charges into shape for the rugged 7 game slate, 6 league and i non-league, which faced them. By now I am sure that anyone and everyone interested in Hamilton's football for- tunes is fully aware of the tinal outcome of the '55 season. The season's highlight was the Greenies 38-zo victory over Chittenango. The line blocked well and the backs made good use of their holes as Breitenstein scored four times and Snyder and Duheme each scored once. However the Emeralds did play very well in several losing causes. Against V. V. S. in a game marred by numerous penalties Hamilton held a iz-o lead until the fourth quarter when a pair of roughing penalties set up two touch- downs and a safety for V. V. S. and gave Sherrill a zo-iz win. At Oneida, during a game played in a torrential downpour, the Greenies, after spotting the Indians go points in the first half, came back and completely outplayed Oneida after the intermission. During the second half, Hamilton scored once and was knocking on the door two more times, but when the chips were down Oneida held and the Emeralds dropped a tough zo-7 decision. This reporter being a member of the team, does not intend to elaborate on the details of the other six games. Instead this column will be devoted to the personnel on the ball club. The Senior Class contributed lj players to thi squad. Five of them, guards: Kinney and Jones tackles: Koenig and Walsh and halfback, Dic Breitenstein, at least once during their careers re ceived mention of one kind or another for th All-County team, with Breitenstein receiving honor able mention for All-State in this, his Senior year The other eight seniors were all good footballers Guards: Mitchell and Stapleton were a pair of hard charging and alert linemen. Tackle Richard Chapin was a rangy and mobile operative whose unusual enthusiasm for wind sprints won't soon be forgotten. Sam Case was a speedy and glue fingered end, the favorite target of Tom Rausa, quarterback, who was very accurate with his short passes and was also a good field general. Gordon Duheme, a swift and hard driving fullback who switched from his usual guard post to bolster a young and inexperienced backfield. Henry Purdy was a rugged and aggres- sive halfback who tackled hard and sure. Bill Wilcox was a hardrunning fullback-halfback who was hampered by injuries. The juniors were represented by several fine gridmen. Ends Dahn and Getchonis were a talented pair of wingmeng tackle Dale Ogden, a tough line- man who improved steadily, Fred Whitney and Hopp Hadley, an evenly matched pair of linemen who battled each other tooth and nail for the first string center post all season long. DeWitt Randall was a hustling and aggressive halfback whose forte was defense. The sophomore and freshman classes also con- tributed several promising players to the squad. Linemen Fowler, Sacco, Krang and Chesbro and backs Snyder, Lynch and Lane performed impress- ively when pressed into action.

BASKETBALL The junior varsity basketball squad started the 1955-1956 season with Lanny Snyder, George Srour, Dave Kranz, Scott Morgan, Jay Soule, and Jona- than Hartshorne returning from last year's team. They were joined by two more sophomores, Mike Mitchell and -Don Charles, and by freshmen Dave Lane, Dick Charles, Doug Wilson, and Kirk Randall and Bill Armstrong. The season was opened against Oneida on our home court, and we were defeated 54-34. This looked like a poor start, but the next night the team all pulled together and took a surprise 41-35 victory from a strong Norwich team. Dave Kranz and George Srour led the attack with II points apiece. The next game at Waterville, was a tight one all the way, with the difference never being more than 4 points at the quarters, but our team out- scored them in the final quarter and won 64-61. Scott Morgan and Dave Lane paced the team with I7 and I5 points respectively. In the next two games, we went to an easy victory over Chittenango, 36-26, with Dave Lane scoring I3 pointsg and beat Canastota in the last quarter, 37-30. George Srour with I3 and Dave Lane with I2 led the scoring in this game. Our first game after the Christmas vacation was with the undefeated Cazenovia J. V.'s on our court. They left the fioor still undefeated, having won by a score of 50-26. Lanny Snyder was high scorer for the losers with io points. The following Tuesday the team went to V. V. S. where we lost a real heart-breaker, 42-40. Coming from behind, we pulled up eight points on them in the last quarter and barely missed tying it up in the frantic last seconds of play. The team came onto the floor against Clinton determined to start another string of victories. The first squad had piled up a score of 2 3-io in the first quarter, when the second team went in, and the Clinton team never quite recovered. The final score was 48-21. The scoring was evenly distributed among the Hamilton boys, Lanny Snyder and Dave Kranz leading with 9 and 8 points respectively. The team, happy about this victory, is looking forward to a good seawn as they start the second time through the league with a 5-3 record. 0 . , , C' 1 xl lk. f .xgm .R ,An lilf 9' t, 5 1' l .

The members of this organization perform an important job in school sports. The Council is re- sponsible for selecting the various girls' teams: field hockey, basketball, volleyball, and softball. PORTS' COUNCIL They also manage the point system for athletic achievement. Their decisions are subject to the approval of Mrs. Behler. This considerable power, and the responsibility which it demands, now rest with twelve girls, two from each grade of the high school. Previously, only one girl was elected from each class, but this year's expansion makes the Council more democratic. v 4 .6 , is f. . ...H if s ,,,. 1 ei .2 I 1.3.3 Q1 , THE I3AFlRYlV1OYlE5 'WL 2 'A l i f Q. 1 TOUCHE' P E qw, I Q 3 0 Q 3 is ' - .
