Well, anyhow, we have to finish this page today. Do you realize that we have the whole sports section still to plan? Now, how many for four pictures to a page? Out of raucous dissension and earnest debate, ac- companied by a by-product of mixed frustration and satisfaction, a yearbook emerges. In a flurry of dead- lines, mistakes, inspirations, a school year appears in silhouette, an outline distorted perhaps, but never obscure, with plentiful high-points of humor which find their most appreciative readers in their creators. Expected as a matter of course, this production never reveals the moments of desperation and hours of thought which seemed so all-important to its comple- tion.

So who wants to write a satire for the next issue of ’The Emerald’ ?’ The editor, harassed but nonchalant, makes his assign- ments and hopefully waits for justification of his partial trust in human nature. With an equal measure of thoughtful skill he directs the mechanical processes of stapling and dis- tribution which dog creativity in its efforts to be heard. Fin- ally, while pondering the suitability of new methods of pro- duction, such as printing on both sides of the paper, or using two staples instead of one, he tries never to forget the primary duties of the editor: Well, somebody1 s got to write a satire for the next issue! reports... at Hamilton 12, core stood Winfield 0. the third quarter, the Emer- ot their third and final tally afternoon.

Think as you vote, then vote as you think.” Remember, a right implies a duty. A flurry of posters, clusters of tags, and the democratic process — from these a Student Coun- cil is made. Throughout the year the Council is gradually transformed from eleven members to one cohesive group. And, at the same time, it gains experience in three areas: learning to deal with details, as of concessions and awards; with policy, as at games and dances; and with relationships, varying from those among the student body to its own with the state organization of Student Councils.

The curiosity of the onlookers, as he steps forward, is concerned less with the facets of the resol- ution under attack, interesting though they are, than with his personal integrity. Will he meet squarely his opponents' con- tentions, and delve unerringly in to the essential conflict, or will he argue in generalities and quibble over minor contradict- ions?

Shhh! — the curtain is opening. Rise! — the director is coming. Think! — the air waves are waiting. And Play! — the audience is listening. Mechanically, auto- matically, fingers dart and tongues move. Shyly the music begins, and, gaining confidence, captures the concentration of the musicians. Absorbed in following a highway of little black lines, squinting under the glare and heat of the lights, they play on intently, pausing almost reluctantly be- tween numbers. Suddenly a new, harshly thundering sound replaces the music of the orchestra, and the members obey a new set of commands. Bow! — the audience is applauding. Smile! — the director is complimenting. Move in! — the cur- tain is closing. And relax — the concert is over. BOTTOM ROW: P. Waas, S. Schapiro, C. Todd, M Ames, B. Roekafellow, J. Westcott, F. Berrien, L. Connor, J. Simons. SECOND ROW: A.

Then a late-comer hastens in, loaded down with mu- sic, stand, and pieces of a clarinet, and band practice has begun. After each corrective pause, the careful list- ener detects an ascending quality of music throughout the practice period.

The Emeralds had a lot to make up for and they were a determined and spirited squad from the moment they first put their pads on. The Emeralds opened the season with a non-league contest against New York Mills. The Green gave an indication of things to come with a 13-7 victory. The following week opened the league season, as the Emeralds pulled out a 6-0 triumph over Sherburne. The next game proved to be Hamilton's only defeat of the season as it fell to Clinton. 14-6, on the strength of two long runs. Rebounding from its sole defeat, Hamilton won its next five games in a row to gain a tie for league honors with The Mills and Clinton. In this drive for the title, the Emeralds beat Cooperstown, 7-0, West Winfield, 19-6, New York Mills, 19-0, Richfield Springs, 27-6, and Sauquoit, 6-0. The highpoint of the season for the Big Green was its 19-0 victory over N Y. M. At the time the Mills was undefeated in league play and had romped over all of its opponents. Bob Flash” Brennan ran the opening kickoff back 85 yards for a touchdown. Later, Dave Kelley took a screen pass and, behind the whole center of the line, scored the second T. D. Charlie Rathbone scored the final TD when AI Sundberg deflected a Mills pass into his arms and he streaked 75 yards for the score. This victory gave Hamilton a tie for first place which it never relinquished as it went on to post a 7-1 record. This year's success was a team effort from beginning to end. The Emeralds were led by their co-captains, Charlie Rathbone and Sam Mirabito, and coached by Mr. Moore and his assistants, Mr. McKay and Mr. Vantine. Charlie Rathbone was picked for the first unit of the Syracuse Herald American's All-State squad. The core of this team proved to be the fourteen seniors. How- ever, if next year's squad has the team spirit of the 1959 Emeralds, it can look forward to another successful and even championship sea- son. Mr. Vantine coaching between plays 82 to kick...

WRESTLING Adviser: Mr. Donald Ker This year wrestling was added to Hamilton's winter sports curriculum. Prospective wrestlers turned out for practice the week after football ended. They were a green bunch but enthus- iastic, and ready to give wrestling their utmost effort. Though the team did not win a match against its Center State Conference opponents, its fine representation of Hamilton was a tribute to the boys and to Mr. Ker's inspiration. The team was led by senior captain Bob Elder, undefeated freshman Carl Herman and once-beaten sophomore Dave Kelley. The prosperts for next year seem bright. All but Bob Elder, Fred Berrien and Carl Herman will return to the team. With a year of experience under their belts, next year’s wrestlers can make a winning combination.

V.'s made a clean sweep of the league, finishing with a record of 15-1. The championship team was led by high scorers Pat Woods, Ron Whipple and Nick Karpp, and strong rebounders Dick Eaves and Doug Charles. The Emeralds won their first game of the season against Waterville, 34-29. The next game, with Sher- burne, was a heartbreaker. The nuggets lost their one and only game to Sherburne by a close 55-52. The J. V.'s were on their way to the top, winning fourteen games in a row. They romped over Clinton, West Win- field, Cooperstown and New York Mills, and squeezed by Clinton, 54-52. With the possible exceptions of Waterville and New York Mills, the rival teams were no match for the hot- hitting J. V.’s. Even Sherburne fell easily in the sec- ond encounter, as the Emeralds made a revenge win. The 15-1 record posted by Hamilton's nuggets marks the best J. V. season since 1952.

The Emerald Cagers, under the coaching of Mr. Mlasgar, took undisputed first place in the Center State League. Early in the season their record was 4-3, but in a strong comeback, they won their next nine games, making a tremendous 13-3 record. The first of the three losses was to Richfield Springs on Hamilton's Court. The boys were off in this game, though Peach came through with 15 points. Next, Hamilton took the long trip to Cooperstown to taste a second defeat. Bob Peach made 18 of Hamilton's points and A1 Sundberg, 12. The third and last defeat was by New York Mills. No one was in double fig- ures. From then on, Hamilton could do no wrong. The Emeralds took Cooperstown in an exciting game, 64-52. Bob Peach was high with 17 and Dave Jones with 14. New York Mills was downed next, 63-45. Peach had 18 and Getchonis 17. The last game with Sauquoit was a thriller. Hamilton took the game, 72-68, and with it, the league title. Peach made 27 of the points and Sundberg, Jones and Walsh each made 12. By the time the Emeralds reached the playoffs, they began to look like the team everyone expected to see at the start of the season. They quickly downed Water- ville, Cooperstown and Sherburne to clinch the Oneida Area Class B Championship. Then, to everyone's sur- prise, UFA lost in the playoffs and Hamilton got to play New York Mills at Colgate for the Oneida-Utica Area Championship, which the Big Green captured 59- 50. The highlight of the season was meeting Onondaga Central at the War Memorial for the Section III Class B Championship. Nervousness and bad shooting com- bined to lose the game for Hamilton but there is little doubt that the Emeralds had the better team.

At the Section 3 Relay Carnival at New Hartford, Hamilton took top hon- ors in the Class B Medley, thus keeping its championship for the third consecutive year. The members of the relay team were Bill Burgess, Kirk Randall, Charlie Rathbone and Bob Brennan. In a triangular meet with V. V. S. and Oneida, the Em- eralds came in second to Oneida by a score of 47-48. The team also lost to Class A Whitesboro in a dual meet, 49-56. The league meet was held at Sauquoit, where Hamilton placed fifth. There were three moral victories, with Ran- dall, Rathbone and Brennan setting new league records in the half mile, shot put and quarter mile respectively. The last meet was the Sectional, held at Rome Free Academy. Hamilton placed seventh out of seventeen in Class B competition. The team has high hopes for the I960 season. 88 to run...
