Mrs. Iiams VOLUME 44 JUNE, 1962 HAMILTON CENTRAL SCHOOL HAMILTON, NEW YORK FOREWORD -This is HAMILTON CENTRAL SCHOOL- Here, each day, we come together to work and study and learn. Here also is where the reflections of some of our fondest moments lay. The most important and remembered events in our high school lives will never be forgotten for they will always be brought out over and over again through the re- flections in this--our yearbook. DEDICATION We, the class of 1962, dedicate our yearbook to one whose ability to teach is surpassed by few. During the past three years, we have come in contact with her more frequently through classroom and social activities. Her interest in the students of Hamilton is unequalled. Her respect for individual needs, her strength of character and her willingness to help has in- spired us to do our very best. We hope that this book will, in some small way, show our respect and admiration for a wonderful person. EUNICE GARDNER IN APPRECIATION For her inspired teaching of science, for her under- standing and willingness to help and for her patience and great personal interest in each student, we, the members of the senior class, extend our sincere appreciation to MRS. VERA SMITH We, the class of '62, gratefully acknowledge our apprecia- tion to the SERVICE CLUBS of our town for everything they have done for the students of Hamilton High School; for their interest in our well-being, their support of our athletic teams and enthusiasm for other school functions and organizations.

Clinton 1960 FRESHMEN: As we look back over our days at HHS, we remember the excitement of beginning our freshman year in the new school. We remember the ringing of the cowbell when classes changed and bringing our lunches until the cafeteria was finished. Also, this was the year of our first chance to build the traditional bonfire before the school’s last home game. This in itself was one of the most unforgettable events at Hamilton. We gained new students this year too-- Nora DesJardins, Mike Hotaling and Jerry Fisher. We also welcomed a foreign student, Siri Myrovall, from Norway. Wally Benson left us to attend a prep school in Vermont, lone and Marian Frasier moved to Waterville, Sue Keefe left to be married and Karen and Ronnie Whipple left for Florida, although they returned later that year. Also, in our first year of high school, we were granted the thrilling privilege of riding the spectator bus to away games. Another unforgettable moment was the Earth Science field trip. We’ll always remember the insects and rock specimens and how tired we were when we returned home. SOPHOMORE: Our sophomore year was scarey, but fun, with stern, but laughing, Mr. Baker for English and the unpredictable Miss Gardner for History. Dave Kelley and Jim Miner became new members of our class. JohnBlacktonreturned from prep school. We’ll never forget the excitement of ordering our class rings and the anticipation of waiting for them. HISTORY This same year our J. V. Basketball team placed first and we were mighty proud of our boys. JUNIOR: This was one of our busiest years. We welcomed more new students--Carole Frymire, Barb Ritter, Joyce Charles, Eleanor Browning and Tom Boardman, a student from Norway. Wally Benson came back from prep school and Jim Stevenson also returned. This was our first chance to join the “Hamiltonian” staff and what work that was!! We finally received our class rings after months of anxious waiting. SENIOR: At last, we’ve reached the last step in our high school carreer. We are sad to think we will be leaving our friends. This year Julie Giampetruzzi, Margaret Jakway, Joan Waterman and Chris Crowner, a PG from Watertown, enrolled in our class. Naomi Strauss, Amelia and Julia Wolicki left us for other schools. We built one of the biggest and best bonfires for the celebration the night before the Hamilton-Sherburne football game. We remember all of the fun and hard work in getting out this yearbook. And now it’s nearly time to leave. Although we are looking forward to graduation and the party afterwards, we know it will be one of the saddest times of our lives.

The Student Council, chosen directly by the students, governs the student body, functioning only for the purpose of serving the students. Bob Jones was elected President, Karen Albright, Vice- President; Dick Moore, Secretary and Eric Dahn, Treasurer. The advisors this year were Miss Gardner and Mr. Vogel. Several assemblies have been sponsored and organized by the Council. The main one was the Christmas Assembly at which the pastors of all the churches in the community met with the student body and faculty. The organization has been active in various ways. This year they have granted concessions, sponsored dances, the Annual Bake Sale, Student Association Tickets and the sale of Vantine pictures. The Student Council is a very important part of the school life. Without it, we, the students, could not enjoy many of the fun- filled activities we take part in. ROW ONE: M. Bash. ROW TWO: G.

In winning the championship, the team was able to put together a very impressive record. The Emeralds always look good at home and this year was no exception. They shut out every team they played on home grounds, while playing in front of sellout crowds. The team also played four games on the road and won them all; the first being with Waterville. The team was very sluggish and did not play well in the first half. It was a very hot day and this was one reason for the poor showing. The second half was a different story, however, astheteamtore gaping holes in the Waterville line to score a 32-0 triumph. Clinton was the first team to score on the Greenies and they played like champions for a quarter. The Emeralds finally got going and took a commanding lead by halftime. Eric Dahn scored three T.D.’s, having his best day of the year. If it hadn’t been for 5 Emerald fumbles, the score would have been much higher than the final 26-13. West Winfield ran into a well-oiled Hamilton team on their home field. The game was played in very cold and wet weather. The Emeralds played very well on the wet field and won by the score of 20-6. Saquoit was the team that ran into a Hamilton tornado. The Emeralds won by a 47-6 thrashing. The encouraging thing about this game was that the second team played the larger part of the game. This was The Emeralds had their work cut out for them in this opening game of the 1961 season, and they fought valiantly but could not manage to score. Their defense was excellent, however, and Richfield was also held scoreless. Outstanding in this game, because of their defensive work, were Dave Kelley, Charlie Giordano, Pat Woods, Bob Peach and game captain, Pete Totten. Central Square boasted of having an enrollment three times the size of Hamilton's, but this jarring statistic didn't seem to mean much at all, as the Emeralds ran all over them, both offensively and defensively. Outstanding were Bob Peach, Dave Kelley, Eric Dahn and Pat Woods because of their fine offensive work. JIM MINER, Guard BOB PEACH, Quarterback WALLY BENSON, Tackle MAC STOUT, Guard PAT WOODS, End PETE WAAS. End CHARLIE GIORDANO, Guard The Emeralds had little trouble handling the Millers this year. They mauled them from one end of the field to the other. Bob Peach was again outstanding in this game, as his completion record fot passing was very good. Pat Woods was called upon frequently to receive these smooth spirals from Peach. The Emeralds defense was again very impressive, as the score shows. HAMILTON SHERBURNE The score of this game was terribly misleading, as it was a very close game until the last quarter, when the Greenies scored two of their three T.D.’s. Indeed, the Emeralds might have lost this game, 21-20, had it not been for three magnificent goal-line stands. Dave Kelley was outstanding in this game as he scored all three T.D.’s and threw the pass to Steve White for an extra point. VARSITY BASKETBALL KNEELING: R. Cook, Manager. H. Brustad, R. Moore. R.

The 1962 edition of the Hamilton High School basketball team, led by Coach Mlasgar in his third season as Varsity Coach, brought to Hamilton its sixth straight winning season. The team lost three of its first five games and then came back to life with a shuffle in the line-up. Dick Moore and Steve White formed this part of the line-up along with Bob Peach. Pat Woods and Charlie Giordano. Pat and Bob went on their own private scoring sprees, while Charlie and Steve brought in. the extra points and Dick sparked the team. The Emeralds brought home the honors the next seven games, only to lose on the ••jinxed” Cooperstown court. Then the team finished in all its glory boasting a fine season, a championship title and trophy, and the opportunity to go to the War Memorial. Again, as in the past two years. Bob Peach led the team, as well as the league, in scoring. At Clinton, Bob broke the school scoring record, netting 40 points, and came out first in the league in scoring, totaling 484 points for the season, which again is another record, keeping his average at 22.4 Bob was pushed all year by Pat Woods who totaled 372 points for the season and stood third in the league scoring. Although it takes a team to win, these two players were outstanding, along with Charlie Giordano, whose steady play and constant scrapping made him our top back-court man. The four departing seniors, co-captains Bob Peach and Pat Woods, Charlie Giordano and Mike Hotaling will leave a large gap. However, this will be filled by Steve White, Dick Moore, Bob Holmes, Henry Brustad and a fine group of this year’s J.V. sophomores. They should run Hamilton’s winning seasons to seven straight with the help of their very able and capable coach. Mr. Mlasgar.

The team was marked by good spirit and hustle in practice. Dave Kelley and Eric Dahn were both outstanding and undefeated in league matches. Both boys were also champions in the Center State League Tournament. The team's high spot in the season was the match with Oneida where the whole team looked its best and the grapplers proceeded to slaughter Oneida 25- 11. The team is looking forward to the Section 111 Tournament which will be held at Canastota where all wrestlers from Central New York will meet.

The Hamilton Junior Varsity, under the fine coaching of William Swisher, has completed another successful season. The “little nuggets found most of their competition on the foreign courts, losing toRichfield. N. Y. Mills. Coopers- town and Waterville. However, on the home court, they were tops. This was due mainly to the aggressiveness and sharp-shooting of Bruce Dewey, Blake Lamb and Harry Brown, the play-making of Richy Jones, John Ray, Bob Davis and Steve Jones, and the strong bench. The J. V.’s were certainly a team to be proud of this year and although it lost five of its sophomores, the prospects look good for next year too. VARSITY CLOCKWISE, Left: B. Vickery, C. MacBain, K.

The Sports Council was very active this year under the leadership of Trudy Chase, President; Carol MacBain, Vice-President; and Sharon Carroccio, Secretary-Treasurer. The main objective of the Sports Council is to regulate and run the intramural program. Teams are set up and each player receives twenty points if she attends all of her team’s games. If she attends three-fourths of them, she receives fifteen points. These points go towards awards at the end of each year. Another activity performed by the Sports Council is sponsoring playdays. Schools in the surrounding area are invited to our school. This year there were playdays in field hockey, basketball and volleyball. The organization sponsors concessions and rummage sales in order to carry on their playdays and inter-school'games. MISS TOMPKINS KNEELING: L. Gunn, R. Crumb, C. Dewey, T. Waters, M. J. Jones, J.
