In this yearbook we will try to bring out the “play” side of school. The fun and good times we’ve had together are things always to be remembered. A little humor goes a long way towards making a bad day into a good one. And so, when you are reading this yearbook, we hope you will think of all the fun you have had in the past year and of all the fun school is. Charlie Brown and his cohorts are our means of representing fun in the yearbook, so watch for them. The numerous places they pop up will surprise you.

Some are sad memories, but many more are happy ones. Let’s start with our freshman year in the old high school. Remember the freshman homeroom in the studyhall-library? The girls all sat on the left side and the boys cm the right. It just happened that the left side always had to go down the rickety fire escape during fire drills. Many of us will never forget Latin and our first Latin Banquet. We all dressed up as if we were Caesar himself. I still wonder how our class always managed to wriggle out of putting on a skit at these banquets. Then there were our first away games. At last we were freshmen, and could ride on the bus. Of course, occasionally the busses broke down, but that only made it more fun. And we’re glad to say that the class of ‘61 certainly has done its duty in regard to bonfires. This is in spite of the fact that the upperclassmen thought our freshman bonfire was so puny that they posted signs around the high school saying, Lost, one bonfire. Return to H. C. S. freshmen.” Our senior bonfire more than made up for this. In September, 1958, we all moved to the new high school, a little sad to be leaving, but very glad to have a new school. Of course, the school wasn’t finished yet, and we moved in before the carpenters left. This always kept things interesting, because if class was boring, you could always watch what the carpenter was doing. It was this same year that spirit began to pick up in the high school. Much of the credit should go to Mrs. Sandra Wilson, the girls’ Phys. Ed. teacher. She always urged trying something new. Our gym class finally did. At a pep rally we all rushed out of the boys’ locker room, each dribbling a basketball with a sign representing one of the players. That was the most “different pep rally Hamilton High School has ever seen. Remember your first history class with Miss Gardner? It was frightening, wasn’t it? But a magical change seemed to take place as you grew older, and history class became something you looked forward to, instead of dreading. 32 iy. Sophomore year was also the year we took biology. How many of you cut apart frogs and pricked your fingers to test your blood? And remember the amoeba? This was also a year of inflation. Twenty-five cents didn't buy what it used to. (Ha, Ha) Sob!!! Junior year and the year of explosions finally came. Mr. Bliss must have shuddered every time we walked into science. Our accidents were minor, but who likes to have their skirt eaten through by HC1, or have a test tube explode when they're holding on to it? It took talent to do these things but our class had it. And then there was our first English class with Miss Faucette. Remember it? Driving started for many of us in our junior year. We finally realized that we were getting older. It was more fun to drive to Morris ville for a class than stay in school. Some of us probably have a few special memories of Driver Ed. For instance: the first time you turned the car in the street and had it in reverse when you wanted to go forward; or how about the time you parked and just missed the car in front. If you think you were nervous, you should have seen Mr. McDonald! Hamilton went all out in sports in our junior year. Our boys did their share to help Hamilton win the co-championship in football and the championship in basketball. It was a big year. No one will ever forget Hamilton's playing in the War Memorial in Syracuse. And then there was regents week. It deserves a mention, even if nobody does want to remember it. Senior year has come. Our homeroom teachers, Miss Gardner and Mr. Wetherby, will be remembered by all. And remember Mr. Wetherby's warning of 30 minutes after school for every minute late? 1 don't think he really meant it. And how about that first touch of senioritis? It was a little bit of elation and a little bit of sadness. We were the oldest. There was no longer anyone left to look up to. And I don’t think anyone will ever forget graduation, or really be glad that it's all over. Although a happy night, it is one of the saddest memories we will ever have. 33 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Class of ‘61, being of sound mind (?) and body, do hereby will the following: Firstly, Dan Amendola sadly leaves high school football to the boys who love the greatest sport there is, Jim Bierce wills his red head to anyone with the temper to match. Judy Bierce just leaves school. Jim Blackmore wills his losing basketball team to Doug Charles. Roberta Borst wills her first period homeroom to whoever can skip it and see Miss Tompkins. Bob Brennan wills his speed to John Fitchen. Arlene Brown leaves the faculty in peace. Brenda Brown leaves, hoping her sisters will grow up and shape up. Josie Burch wills her color guard ability to Sharon Carroccio. Carl Burgess wills his size to Ted Unger. Bill Burgess wills his ability to get out of study hall to Dave Kelley. Robert Buterbaugh wills Hamilton to anyone who wants it. Sally Charles leaves the displays in the hall to the football players and their female admirers. Linda Dewey wills the job of making the little kids on the bus mind to Carol Frymire. Gaile Donaldson wills her laugh to Mr. Baker. Harry Glazier wills his height to Gary Bethlehem. John Harris leaves to Mr. McKay. “Den Mother of Troop 5,“ ten dollars to help finance the annual Brownie trip. Barbara Hill wills the locker room riots to Miss Tompkins if she can handle them. Ed Hotaling wills the use of his books next year to Carole Crumb. Dan Hughes wills Paul Swenson the Hamilton Chapter of the F.F.A, Jean Irish leaves her controlled temper to Mr. Ker in hopes that he will use it. Dave Jones wills his straight legs to Dave Kelley. Bill Keyes leaves his ability to save thirty cents a day during basketball season to Nick Karpp whocould use the money for the same thing. Jack Knowlton wills his moles to anyone who wants to be beautiful but spotty. Mary Ann LaGreca wills her neighbors on Broad St. to Barb. Have fun! Mike Lynch leaves Jack Knowlton . . . Loretta Mack leaves her eyelashes to Connie Thayer if she can handle them. Dick McBain leaves his knowledge of cars to Ed Buterbaugh. Ruth Mawhinney leaves physics class still wondering--(about Mr. Bliss). Lynn Miner leaves his glasses to Miss Soule so that she may watch her chorus members. Terry Murphy wills the school lunches to anyone whose mother’s cooking is worse. Marti Murray leaves her seat in Mr. Ker’s French class to anyone strong enough to stay in it. Marie Rausa leaves the door-bell at 58 Madison St. to Nick Karpp. Have fun! Lonnie Riedl and Sandy Sacco leave the Colgate Inn to anyone crazy enough to take it. Dave Shafer wills a senior year to Norm Pierson. Jane Simons wills Mr. Wetherby’s homeroom to anyone who can get there at 8:34 on the dot - on a Monday morning. Sue Stradling leaves with no regret. Dave Swenson wills his love of English to Dick King. Bonnie Thompson leaves her loudness to Jerry Fisher. Warren Tuzzo leaves his long talks with Mr. Vogel and Mr. Lane to anyone who can get more out of them than he did. Jan Walter wills her brains, longhours of homework, and marks to Phyllis. And last, but not least, we, the Class of 1961, will the school policy to the remaining students to suffer by. 34 FRONT: A. White, Secretary; R. Peach, Treasurer; R.

If I can’t do that, the senior field trip would be interesting. Yippee, I’m going to do the gossip column for the ‘‘Hamilton Erherald.’’ Oh dear, I’d better go see Lucy and find out all the gossip. What she doesn’t know I’ll search out with my nose. Maybe Miss Faucette will even give me the top prize at Awards Night. 48 Well, here I am right in with all the Debate Club members. This sure is a swell club. They've even taught me how to talk circles around Lucy. No more will I be a shriveling coward when talking. My, “no will stand firm, backed by my negative argu- ments. With Mr. Baker as my advisor, 1 can win any debate. At last it's time for my first debate. I've worked hard preparing my notes. I'm really going to do a great job defending the usefulness of comic strips. It's my turn at last, Ah, but wait! Who's that girl waiting over there on the opposite team? No!! It can't be . . .

FH A CO-CHAMPS AGAIN The Hamilton Emeralds, defending co-champions of the 1959 season, came back in 1960 to prove they still were the champs. They did so by having a tremendous record of 6 wins and 1 loss, Hamilton opened its season against Richfield Springs and the future looked pretty dim. Dan Amendola was out with a back injury and the team lacked experience. The Greenies lost the game and Bob Brennan, who broke his ankle. In the next game, Carl Burgess broke his hand and could not play. The scene changed, though, as Dave Kelley and Dave Jones came into their own. The majority of the points were scored by these two boys. With their leadership, the Emeralds went on to defeat the six other schools in the league. The other side of football, the coaches, showed the same spirit and determination as the boys. Walter Moore, head coach, and his assistants. Dave McKay and Ed Vantine, molded the 36 boys into a hard-working football team. The loss of the three key players did not stop the Greenies from keeping their crown. The co- captains, Amendola and Burgess, led the boys in every practice even though they could not play much themselves. Amendola only played a few times and Burgess only got in three games. The spirit shown t}y the co-captains is what led the team to its second straight Center State League Title.

The experience of Dave Jones, Dan Amendola, Harry Glazier, Jack Knowlton and Bob Peach was supplemented by the talents of Nick Karpp, Ron Whipple, Pat Woods, Pete Waas and Dick Eaves. With this team and the guidance of Coach Jim Mlasgar, the Emeralds handed in a fine 10-5 record for league action and a 12-7 record for total season play. As a result of their efforts, the boys won the second spot in the league. In the first game of the season, the Greenies trounced Richfield Springs for the initial win. Dave Jones led the squad with 21 points. This built up the team spirit for the second game against powerful Coopersiown. Although the Emeralds tried hard to defeat them for the first time on the foreign court, they lost an exciting battle. With one defeat and one win, Hamilton was out for revenge. In its next game, Hamilton defeated a determined Sauquoit team in an easy contest. This built up the team’s morale again but it was knocked down once more by hard fighting Waterville. After a loss to a weak Frankfort team, the Emeralds woke up and won their next five games against Clinton, New York Mills, West Winfield, Sherburne and Norwich. At half season the Emeralds had compiled a 7-3 record. The team’s luck ran out, though, as they lost their next 2 games. The first, against Richfield Springs, was a poorly played game on both teams part. The second was a hard fought, thrilling contest against the Coopers. The Emeralds led near the end but lost in an over-time. Next, they met Waterville again and defeated the Indians. The team then moved to Rhoades Gym to play New York Mills and lost. In the final two games of league play, they settled down and defeated West Winfield and Sauquoit. The Winfield game was very close with Bob Peach throwing in the winning points in the final seconds. The season ended with a good 10-5 record. Bob Peach, high scoring ace from last years tremendous team, was also the spark of this years team, followed by Dave Jones. Dan Amendola, Pat Woods and Ron Whipple. Next year, with five experienced men returning, the Emeralds should have a good season. Hamilton entered the play offs with determination. They defeated Waterville in an excellent contest and then met the mighty Cooperstown at Colgate Gym. Cooperstown took an early lead in the beginning and built it up to 18 at one point. The Hamilton team, led by Ron Whipple, fought back and lost by only two points. It was a finely played game, as was the season, and we can certainly be proud of the team and Coach Mlasgar.

Sparked by dynamic teamwork, the boys looked as good as many varsity groups. Their only two losses were in close games-, one which went into sudden-death overtime. The combi- nation of the coaching of Mr. Swisher, the play- making of Dick Moore, the shooting of Steve White and Bob Holmes, and the strength of the bench made the season what it was. Although most of the boys lacked experience, it seldom showed on the floor. The Hamilton JV team is certainly one to be proud of this year. 69 WRESTLING £ r; D. Kelley. . Dahn. J.FUchen.

Although the Emeralds only won three games, there was in indication of good things to come. The seniors, Linn Abbott, Vinny Evans, Jim French, Sam Mirabito, Alex Sundberg, Nick Verro and John Walsh, led the determined squad. The first game of the season found the Emeralds up against a good Earlville nine. The Hamilton bats came to life and punched across 17 runs for the victory. The winning way was kept alive as Hamilton beat Sherburne 14-3. Sauquoit presented Hamilton with its first defeat of the season. As the club faced New York Mills, it was determined to regain its winning ways. However, hard effort was not enough for the Emeralds as they lost 6-5 in extra innings. The next game against Waterville the Emeralds dropped 5-4. Cooperstown and Clinton then took their turns in beating the team to the tune of 4-2 and 11-3 respectively. In the last game of the season, the Greenies again showed their early season form by beating the second place West Winfield Club 6-2. 71 TRACK . j j Fitcben, J •Bie 1 BIanc ard' J • r J _ q Tones. ■■ T Reinwald, P- I 1 • w Burgess.

The Greenies participated in five regular meets:Sherbume, Sauquoit. New York Mills, Cooperstown, and Whites- boro, losing by only a few points each time. They were also in the New Hartford Invitational, Cazenovia Relays, Center State Conference and Sectionals, In the Sectionals, the team showed its finest efforts with Charlie Rathbone, Bob Brennan, Ed Davis, Carl Burgess, and Bill Burgess qualifying for the sectional championship. The talents of Bob Brennan, Charlie Rathbone and Ed Davis gave the team its near victories. Brennan broke the school record, the league record, and the Class D record for the 440 yard dash. He also set a Class D record for the broad jump. Rathbone broke his own league record for the shot put and the Class D record in the 220. Pole-vaulter Davis set a school record of 10’6” in his field. Besides these three record breakers. Carl Burgess and Bill Burgess added 41 points to the school season total. Both the team and Mr. McKay are looking for a brighter year in 1961. They lost only two boys, gained experience and will gain new members. With this and the coaching of Mr. McKay, the Emeralds are looking for a winning season. 72 FRONT: Jeanirish, Co-Captain STANDING: Sally Charles,Co-Captain;Amy White, Judy Lee, Jan Walter, Marty Murray varsity CHEERLEADERS junior varsity FROM LEFT: Karen Sollien, Sharon Adams, Sharon Eggleston, Mary Merkt, Dede Leland, Carol Paul, Co-Captain GIRLS’ SPORTS COUNCIL KNEELING: M.

We get to play more often and learn more than we have before. We play hockey, basketball, volleyball, badminton and softball. They have teams that play other schools, too. Each class has equal representation in the Council. There are three members per class. Two members of the group sponsor each sport, and together they support play days and bring other schools to play at Hamilton. I’m glad we decided to have a Sports Council again, now I don’t have to play with Charlie Brown all of the time. 76 HOCKEY FIRST ROW: J. Walter, R. Mawhinney, L. Leland, R. Borst, J. Simons, L.
