The Almeda Literary Society ia an honorary girls' society which pledges itself to uphold all that is good in Hamilton Central School. The group's year begins with an initiation of new members. During the year, the girls host guest speakers who talk on a wide variety of top- ics, ranging from literature to underwater archeology. And then comes the night when all Almedas don their finest for the annual Almeda Ball, enjoyed immensely by all. A dinner at which outgo- ing Seniors are honored guests closes the year.

It consists of nearly 60 members, under the direction of Mrs. Evelyn Waas. The majority of the members were started in music, largely through the efforts of Mrs. Waas, in the second gr de. Puring the school year the orchestra is quite active. Their first performance is the annual Christmas concert. This is fol- lowed by a Music Night in the spring, and an annual presenta- tion for the student body. In summary, the Senior Orch- estra deserves a great deal of credit for the fine job it has done, and will continue to do. 66 Row 1-K. Crouch, M. Jones, M. Elder, K. Hourlass, A. Reed, A.

Jim had seven touchdown passes while connecting on 17 of 56 passes for a total of 400 yards. Junior Ton Jones threw for 111 yards on 5 out of 8 attempts and one was for a touchdown. The rushing.which was probab- ly the most versatile in the league, compiled 1651 yards. Junior Brian Reuter gained 542 yards on 85 carries, Co-captain Leon Trudeau 437 yards on 51 carries, and fullback Arnie Rollins 485 yards on 116 car- ries. In scoring Trudeau had 61 points, including ten touchdowns, Rollins 43 points, Brian Reuter 36, Griffith 31 and Tom Jones 7. The defense, led by linebackers Arnie Rollins and Go-captain Tin Wilder, allowed their opponents only eleven points a game. Rollins led the team in tackles with 99, followed by Wilder's 96, John Praw- ley's 77, Tom Jones's 52, and Tony Dcpta's 47. Defensive standouts included rrcg 'ligcnis, A1 Jones, Greg Reuter, Ron Cook and Prancis Jaquay. 79 Go-captains-Tin and Leon T is year's squad loses fourteen valuable seniors but left to lead the tr. era Ids next season will be Tom Jones, Brian Reuter, Kip McGregor,Todd Dreiser and a host of others who gained valuable exper- ience on the JV squad.

A1 Jones Scott rider BASKETBALL Under Coach Jin Mlasgar.the 1966-67 edition of the Basket- ball Emeralds have struggled to a 3-5 record, with one game re- maining before the team goes around the loop again. Led by Co-captains Dick Horton and Tim Wilder, the squad opened up at home against Cooperstovm, coming out on the short end of a 45-41 score. Horton was high with 21, but team shooting was poor, causing the loss. The Emeralds rebounded sharply, de- feating Clinton and Richfield in their next two games. Horton dumped in 33 against Richfield to lead the way, while A1 Jones led four men in double figures against Clinton with 16. A tough schedule confronted the Emeralds as they lost three successive games to league leaders New York Mills, Sauquoit and V.'atervillc. Wilder had 17 in a losing cause against Mills, while Junior Tom Jones also played well. Poor shooting led to a close loss to 'orrisville in the follov'ing game, but the Emeralds snapped a four game losing streak by beating Vest Winfield 55-50 with an exciting fourth quarter finish. Scott Elder was high w’ith 16 points. Poor shooting has marked the early going, bqt ar excellent defense combined with solid rebounding and tremendous hustle has made all the games exciting and gives hope for an improved rec- ord the second time around and a good chance in the Sectional playoffs. 82 Pic1 Horton The loss of Senior starters Horton, Hi Icier, Elder, A. Jones, and Dickinson along with strong reserves Fisher, Frederick, and Cool leaves a bio gap to be filled. The re- turn of seven Juniors,along with the help of several promising Sophomores, gives hope for a successful season next year.

HOCKEY Under the direction of Coach Cere and Coach Hodgson, the Ham- ilton Hockey Team, in its second year in the league, was greatly improved over last year's losing season. It grew in size from nine to nineteen members and doubled in ability. First string Goalie Bill Burke and first line Left Wing .Tim Plesniarski were the co-captain of the squad. The team started out with two scrimmages in which they lost to Clinton B 6-3 and beat Cazenovia 3-2. In their first league game the young team suffered a severe 9-0 loss to the league champions, Whitesboro. The second game was against another strong team, New Hartford, and Hamilton lost 8-2 with Plesniarski and Dave Cillmore scoring. Hamilton has much hope for future wins as they have a possi- ble seven to nine games ahead of them. Next year the team will be hurt by the loss of five good seniors: Leon Trudeau, Steve Hengst, Ed Buell, Butch Zigon and Bruce Skelton. 86 87 Icon Trudeau Kneel in� - K. Lancaster, Cone1' alloran, R.

Horton Under the leadership of Coach Halloran, the 1966 ver- sion of the Hamilton Central School golf team stroked its way to second place in the league with a S-3 record,paced by the individual performances of Captain,Wayne Lamb, .Juniors Horton, Wilder,Elder, and Edg- ett, and Freshman Jim Leland. Other members of the team were Brian Vaughn and Keven Lancas- ter. The high point of the season came in the Oneida area playoffs where the Linksters placed first in a field of eight; .Juniors,Horton and Eld- er led the team with first and third low single performances for the team respectively. In doing so, Hamilton won the right to represent its area in the State Semi-finals played in Rome for the first time in the team's history. At Rome, Hamilton placed third in a field of four, only four dtrokes behind Rome Free Acad- emy. With two year veterans, Edgett, Elder, Horton, and Wilder returning next spring, Hamilton is looking forward to another successful season.

BASEBALL The 1°66 Varsity Baseball Team, under the fine direction o f Coach Lamb, finished second in the Center-State Conference with a 7-2 league record. By wirning their last five games, the Emeralds close� 1 their season with a rire °-3 r� acor’. The truly outstanding highlight of the season was when, due to rain, the team was forced to play three games in a four day span and won all three. Morrisville came on the first day and the fine pitching of Dick Mhite combined with a solid defense gave Hamilton a 4-2 victory. The next day at Rich field Springs Leon Trudeau pitched the Emeralds to a 7-6 victory with the help of Greg igonis's three run homer. Two days later a weary Hamilton nine was trailing Sauquoit 5-1 in the fourth inning but staged a tremendous comeback. Gary V'il liars an 1 Terry Jones each smashed home runs and Jim Griffith smacked a triple with the bases loaded to give Hamilton a fine P-5 win over a tough team. Dick V.liite wound up with a 7-2 pitching record while Larry Davey and Ricci Capirci were the leading hitters with .4 6 and .360 averages respectively. This year under Coach Young, the team should have another successful season with Leon Trudeau, Craig Dickinson, Jim Grif- fith and Greg Migonis back from last year's starting team.

Success in dual meets was hard to come by,, but there were many fine individual performances. Buzz Collins took a second and Leon Trudeau a third and a fourth at the Sec- tionals in Norwich and went on to compete at Pome. A1 Mor- gan took a sixth in the shot and iust missed a chance to go on to Rome. Ricci Capirci was a consistent performer all season in the high lump as were Tom Jones in the dashes and John Connor in the middle distance races. The loss of seniors Morgan, Connor, Bash and Capirci will be damaging but a nucleus of underclassmen returns to give hope for the next season. VARSITY Row 1-A. Adams, C. Jones, Elder, K. Jones, R.

WRITTEN RY MEMBERS OP Till: SENIOR CLASS Man in infinity. Like grass in a forest, lives, changes, disappears. Without moving the rest. All our ioys and sorrovs, Triumphs and disasters rail like leaves on the mold, And the forest, unchanged. Lives on. vet we, in our Unconscious vanitv See 'lan as strong and wise. Respite Come to the edge of the world awhile To laugh and dance and play, For the Sun is westering in the sky And tomorrow is far away. Set aside the world's endless confusing commands, For the freedom that lends men their wings. Come away for now to the edge of the world: Lay down your burden and sing. Darkness. People exist in black, never giving a thought to what lies in wait... A Light... , , . , waiting behind the false curtain of darkness. Separation brings the blackness. Rejoicing comes in strange forms within the wondrous light of union. Black will never die. The presence of all colors--never to be defeated But always there is the struggle for white-- For union of the separated. So wait...suffer in the darkness but endure it with the knowledge that the white will somehow triumph. It. too, will never die. With its return, The black will momentarily disappear For it cannot exist in the presence of Joy. yes reality.... but, alas, how far away realitv seems when attempt is made to grasp its rough and cutting body with firm hold yes reality.... so they say those who would pretend their hold is quite secure but never have known how it feels then with courage eyes open to the world hands stretch out yes reality.... it will not appear I long for something binding now---- It is dark and quiet in this cold place. Only myself---- fighting to exist — exist within myself. I look for something that no one can define. That is boundless in meaning--- I search— wandering aimlessly--- through an anonymous abyss Turning and finding a new path--some lead Somewhere: others, the ones that I travel lead endlessly--- toward some end--- toward a dream T stood in the midst of a room and I heard bells echoing all around me. T stood at the doorway and the bells were behind me. T began to hear bells that I had never heard before And I saw that thev were ahead of me. And T knew that when T stepped out of the door The sounds would echo around me And the bells that were behind me Would become faint. To the living lights of the Christmas tree From the telephone on the wall The words are heard with dismay And then Exaggerated until Tears. And the exaggeration is expounded until More tears. And tears mix with care and other emotions until Fear. And through the night the candle burns Knowing the fear that causes the tears And dreams expel them both And the sun is swallowed. But morning is cold and white and bare But the sun, seemingly out of place, Shines, as if there were no fear. And tears again at the sight of the familiar And fears again fill the heart and the eyes. Hope is dispelled, fear seems permanently instilled Until the time. Open the blind... And there to dispell the white of snow Is the symbol which dispells the fear. But tears flow Joy to the world The tears are happy And the trials of the night before Are gone with a glance... The dream becomes reality Cry to rid the body of the fear Joy oh joy beyond all gladness The sun has been swallowed. 113
