ANN ELIZABETH ADAMS 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe : All mimsy were the borogoves , And the mome raths outgrabe MARY LOURDES BJORKMAN To-morrow let my sun his beams dis- play, or in the clouds hide them ; I have lived to-day.” WENDY BLANCHARD Don't be a leaf... Be a tree! SHARON L. BROWN The most completely lost of all days , is that on which one has not laughed. SHIRLEY ANN BROWN The thing that goes the farthest to- wards making life worthwhile, that costs the least and does the most is Just a pleasant smile. JAMES P. CARR 'Alive cmr dead—there is no other way. KENNETH V. COLLINS A nice man is a man of nasty ideas MARGARET ANNE DOWNIE The mountain-fir, in its rustling, modulates the memory of its fights with the storm into a hymn of peace. JERI LOU DuPONT He that is slow to anger is greater than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit Than he that taketh a city. GORDON T. DRESSER If your time to you is worth savin 1 you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone—for the times they are a' changin'. MARY ANN ELDER Music, the beautiful disturber of air. Drew near. Saying: Come with me into my country. RICHARD M. FENNER The windows of the world are covered with rain. What is this world coming to? When will black skies turn to blue? There must be something we can do. Let's let the sun shine through. JEAN E. GETCHONIS Happiness is no laughing matter! 33 LINDA HAHNLE If the world's a vale of tears, Smile 'til rainbows span it. CATHERINE SUE HOTALING The greatest of all faults, is to be conscious of none. BRENDA JEAN HOUSE One must not tie a ship to a single anchor, nor life to a single hope. FREDERICK PERLEE HOWE Life is a parting and not a meeting, A comradeship of the lonely mile, Only an hour for a passing greeting Only a friendship for a while. GARY D. HUGGENS If a man look sharp and attentively, he shall see fortune; for though she be blind, she is not invisible. CHRISTY LYNNE JONES Without love and laughter there is no joy; live amid love and laughter. KATHLEEN E. JONES We're born to be happy, all of us. RICHARD JONES The wisdom of the wise is an un- common degree of common sense. KATHRYN DOROTHY KEEFE It matters not what you are thought to be but what you are. THOMAS EDWARD JONES Patience is the strongest of all strong drinks, for it kills the great despair. TERESA KISTLER Born with a love of laughter and a suspicion that the world was mad. ELIZABETH LaGRECA Men climb tall hills to suffer and die. Stay here, fond youth, and ask no more, be wise; Knowing too much long since lost paradise. KAREN LOU LAMB The way of the wind is a strange, wild way. 38 DEBORAH JANE LANG MAN The soul is not where it lives, but where it loves. VIRGINIA ANN LOLLMAN 'Tis easy enough to be pleasant When life flows along like a song; But the man who is worth-while is the one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong. CLAUDE R. MARCELLUS O , what may man within him hide Though angel on the outward side! 39 DARLA DOREEN MARCELLUS In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. RICHARD HUGH McDONNELL Eat not to dullness but drink to elevation. KEITH WAYNE McGREGOR A constant friend is a thing rare and hard to find. LAWRENCE E. NELSON A child enters your life, and for eighteen years he makes so much noise that it almost drives you crazy. Then he leaves and the silence drives you crazy. LINDA DARLENE PECKHAM Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone. MATTHEW NILSEN You have no idea what a poor opinion I have of myself, and how little I deserve it. 41 DENNIS W. PHILLIPPS Some say three fingers. Some say two; I'll leave the decision to you. BRYAN A. REUTER Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are. NEIL D. ROLLINS I will work; And get ready , and perhaps my chance, will come. SANDRA G. STERLING My own thoughts are my compan- ions . SALLY MARIE STORES In the drowsy dark caves of the mind, dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan. JANET ANN STRAFELLA It is safer to keep silence than to speak. DEAN A. SWENSON You have but one life to live, I'd rather live it with a blonde. ROSINA MARIE TRUDEAU The happiest people seem to be those who have no particular cause for being happy, except that they are so. THOMAS ANTHONY WOOD A country without unity is a country with nothing; a person without friends is just living. A unified country is a democracy; a person with friends is a human being. DEBORAH ROSE YOUNG Everywhere man blames nature and fate, yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passions , his mistakes and weaknessess. RUTH ANN FARNSWORTH Living in Holland is a fascinating and wonderful experience. It's some- thing I'll certainly never forget. I've found that it goes beyond windmills , wooden shoes, and little boys with their fingers in a dike. There's a silent kind of progress going on here. The new com- ing in with a respect for the old. I sup- pose Holland is small, but by no means in the negative sense. But her people are the same as you find anyplace . She's warm and hospitable, and it will be hard to leave after a year. However, the greatest part about coming here for a year, is looking back and realizing what I've got at home. Thanks to Holland I saw the United States for the first time. — Ruth Ann Farnsworth SYDNEY BLUM SENIORS ABROAD An American-beginning, just begin- ning to view a foreign land through nat- ive eyes . Mounds of sand carefully tilled and watered, bringing to Israel a new hope for the future. The dust has become fruit groves, gardens, farms, towering buildings, and a great source of pride to the people. An interest, a drive to achieve, an unequalled unity, a warmth—a people---- Israel. — Sydney Blum ANN ELIZABETH ADAMS Band-1,2,3,4; Orchestra-1,2,3,4; Cho- rus-1 ,2,3; Hamiltonian Staff-2,3,4, Ed- itor-in-Chief-4; Almedas-2, 3,4, Vice- President-3, President-4; Honor Society- 3, 4, Vice-President-4; Colgate Semi- nars-1, 3; FTA-1,2,3,4, Vice-President- 2,3; Masquers-3,4; WRCUGroup-2,3,4; Math Club-2,3,4; Syracuse Citizenship Conference-3,4; Human Rights Group-1, 2,3; Press Club-1,2,3,4; Intramurals, 1,2,3; Cheerleading-2; Prize Speaking- 1; Class President-1; County Music-1,2.

With the support of the administration, faculty, and students, it can be the focal point for the growth of school spirit, the understanding of political process , and the promotion of the school's reputation. Members feel that every action of the Council should be aimed at the achievement of these goals. Serving as advisers to the Council are Mr. Leo Kiely and Mr. Alvin Fish. FIRST ROW-N. Migonis, K.

This is the highest award the whole Orchestra has won, and the quality has been maintained in Christmas and Spring Concerts. A number of the Orchestra members has participated outside the school in related events. This year, two of its outstanding members attended All-State at the Concord Hotel on Kiamesha Lake. Four attended Area All-State at Mohawk, and eight players participated in the Colgate University Chamber Orchestra. The Senior Orchestra of 1967- 1968 has shown itself to be one of the strongest in the history of Hamilton High. 79 FIRST ROW-D. Carroccio, D. Burns, L. Peckham, S. Hance, D. Hafelin, C. Tuzzo, K.

Some of the yearly projects sponsored by the FHA are the Faculty Tea, the Senior Girls Punch Party, a bake sale, and the Mother-Daughter Banquet. Mrs. Jean Palmiter serves as advisor to the group. 83 FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Exemplifying the stated purpose of the Future Teachers of America — to take a realistic look at teaching, its many oppor- tunities, challenging problems, essential nature, and services to humanity — mem- bers of the Hamilton chapter planned this year to continue their practice teaching program. This program includes building a picture library to aid the elementary teachers, as well as actual classroom observation. New members were recog- nized at the annual faculty dinner spon- sored by the club members. Advisers for 1967-1968 were Mrs. Norma Edding, Mrs. Betty Jones and Miss Javene Young. FIRST ROW-P.

Frawley With its 6-2 record, the 1967 Emerald football team had its best year under Coach Bruce Lamb. The two games which Hamilton lost. New York Mills and Sher- burne, might have gone Hamilton's way if it weren't for a few bad breaks. The passing attack was led by Co-Captain Tom Jones. Jones completed 53 out of 111 passes for 855 yards. 18 of those passes were to End Fred Howe for 311 yards. Co-Captain Bryan Reuter had 197 yards on 13 receptions. End Kip McGregor had 11 receptions for 167 yards and Wingback Ron Dorgan had 139 yards on 7 catches. End Jim Leland and Fullback Buz Collins had 3 and 1 receptions respectively. The rushing offense gained 1178.3 yards on 346 carries. Halfback Reuter and Collins led the team in rushing. Reuter had 555 yards on 150 carries and Collins had 365.5 yards on 105 carries. Collins put on a fine performance blocking, too. Jones had 139.8 yards on 27 carries and Steve Frawley and Dorgan had 41 yards apiece. In scoring, everyone got into the act. Reuter was first with 52 points, including 7 T.D.'s, Jones had 38 points, Howe had 30, Collins 21, FVawley 12, Dorgan and Le- land had 6 points apiece. The strong defense had many standouts. Guard Matt Niisen had 6 fumble recov- eries to lead in that department. Collins and Todd Dresser led in tackles with 90 and 60 respectively. Dresser and Jones led in interceptions with 2 apiece. Tackles Neil Rollins and Dan Murphy, who played both ways, consistently came up with the big play. Dean Chapman came along late in the season to help the team. Next year's team can look forward to a fine season. Juniors Gary Gray, Steve Jones, Dave Risley, Dana Chapman, Steve Shablak, John Carr, and Jim Leland provide a strong nucleus for a successful football season.

During the season, the JV's overcame Sherburne twice and subdued Westmoreland, a much bigger school. Waterville was another of the insuperable JV's victims. In the season finale, Hamilton crushed Richfield Springs to cap the lid on a very successful year. John Halloran, John Blanchard, Randy Holt, and Don Lamb will be back next year with the hope of maintaining the JV's winning streak. The Hamilton Varsity can look forward to a fine season with the addition of Mark Lamb, Dave Gillmore, Don Marcellus, Barclay Potter, Dennis James, and Doug White — all veterans of this year's undefeated Junior Varsity squad.

Hamilton battled to a 5-2 record and sole possession of third place in the Center State Conference with only one game remaining in the first round of games. Coach Mlasgar did an excellent job of putting a talented but inexperienced squad together. On the team there were at least 8 players of equal ability. The team was led by Doug Marcellus, the team's leading scorer, and Tom Jones, a fine rebounder and de- fensive player. Another leader was Kip McGregor, an all-around shooter who could break a game open at anytime. Bryan Reuter, an all-around player, and Buz Collins, a good defensive player, were other valuable additions. The bench was very strong and had some fine players who were able to start in case of injury. Senior Fred Howe and Juniors Steve Jones and Tom LeRoy all saw a lot of action. They had speed and all- around basketball ability. The other four players who rounded out the squad were Senior Skip Scarlett and Juniors Frank Crumb, Tim Tupper, and Eugene Ogden. The most exciting game came when Hamilton played New York Mills. Hamilton was down 12 points at halftime but came back to take the lead; they were edged out in the last few minutes. Under the more than able coaching of Mr. Mlasgar, Hamilton can look forward to a winning season next year. Skip Bryan JUNIOR VARSITY FIRST ROW-R. Jones, A. Lahue, E. Ray-Cap- tain, B. Kiely, J.

Fisher The Hamilton Junior Varsity basketball team has fought to a 4-3 record with only the Sauquoit game remaining the first time around. Under Coach Young, the JV's are a well balanced club. Mark Lamb, Don Lamb, andAl Blinebry provide the rebounding needed . Eddie Ray contributes good play- making and leadership abilities. Wayne Gallik and Stan Fisher are valuable for their fine shooting. Don Marcellus recovered from his injury quickly and added a lot to the strength of the team. The JV's should complete the season in fine shape as they have gained valuable experience early in the year. Coach Young has done a fine job with his young team. They have won a couple of their games with narrow margins and were forced into a double overtime against Waterville. 100 The 1968 Hamilton High School hockey team, under the leadership of Coaches McArthur and Estes, got underway on its best season since they entered the league three years ago. Led by Co- HOCKEY Captains Ron Dorganand Jim Plesniarski, the HHS pucksters had a potent offense and a strong de- fense, as shown by the first two victories of the season. They had the spirit and desire needed to win and were hopeful of capturing the league crown. Starting conditioning consisting of weight- lifting and running in Mid-November, and getting on skates in early December, the Emerald icemen improved a great deal over last year. With four of the six starters returning next year, including three sophomores, the future seasons look bright. FIRST ROW-R. Trudeau, K. Sio, D. Horton, M. Nilsen, L. Summers, D. Gillmore, J.

Other members were John Fisher and Kevin Lancaster, both Seniors. Hamilton again went to the Sectionals, placing third at Coopers- town, surpassed by only V.V.S. and Cooperstown. During the summer. Elder and Horton, who led the team in points, took low medalist in their respec- tive qualifying areas, and went on to compete in the New York State Junior Amateur Championship.

In the 100-yard dash Leon Trudeau usu- ally came through with 1st or 2nd place. Tom Leroy, also running the 100, tied the school record at the league meet. Tom Jones reigned supreme in the 220 and Fred Howe and A1 Jones generally placed for points in the 440. Steve Jones and Dean Chapman, two novice runners, were a pleasant sur- prise in the 880. Doug Frederick, with hard work finished 2nd in the League meet in the mile — less than a second off the school record. Brian Reuter and Ron Cook did their share in the two-mile. In the League meet Trudeau, Steve Hengst, Todd Dresser, and Jones came off with top honors in the 880- yard relay. 106 Although hindered b y Inexperience , the 1967 baseball team under Coach Young did a fine Job. The team won only 3 out of 1 0 games, but one victory was over Sherburne, the leading team in the league. Craig Dickinson, Greg Migonis, Jim BASEBALL Griffith, and Allen Jones were the only returning players with much game experi- ence. Dickinson led the team in batting average with .389, and Doug Frederick had the most runs batted in with 7. There is hope for a stronger team in the spring of 1968 with the return of Seniors Dean Chap- man and Kip McGregor and Juniors Doug Marcellus, Steve Jones, Dana Chapman, Jim Leland, and Steve Shablak.

Under the di- rection of Coach Sandra Weeden, the girls worked hard, exhibiting drive and determi- nation. Leading the team's offense were Mary Ann Elder, Barb Hammond, Patty Hoffman, Chris Jones, Marilyn Jones, Sue McGregor, Taber Shirley and Sally White. The Defense positions were manned by Linda Hahnle, Kathy Jones, Karen King, Lolly Muller, Posie Trudeau and Lisa Yackel. FIRST ROW-M. Jones, B. Hammond, S. McGregor, R. Trudeau, M. Elder, K.

The girls have a chance to learn and play such sports as field hockey, basketball, bowling, volleyball and softball. Hopefully, tennis and golf will be added to the agenda of spring activities. In each sport, a var- sity team is chosen to compete with teams from area schools. PATRONS Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Abrahamson Jr. Dr. and Mrs. E.K. Elmer Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Adams Mr. and Mrs. Wilson L.
