Text from Pages 1 - 138 of the 1987 volume:

When we first walked into his classroom, we knew only about rocks, dirt, and volcanoes. We knew little about our natural environment, ourselves, or what made our bodies function. We did not know much about biology. Because of his excellence as an educator and commitment to the student, this soon changed. With boundless en- thusiasm he led us to an understanding of the fantastic realm of life surrounding us. From full-shells,” to the inside of a frog, to digestive enzymes, we learned it all. For this alone, we are indebted to him. We will never stop enjoying the benefits of his ability to make learning fun. We will never forget that he was a teacher. A Ralph Waldo Emerson phrase il- lustrates our appreciation for him: The best effect of a fine person is felt after we have left their presence. We, the Class of 1987, feel honored in dedicating The Best of the Knight Club to: Mr. C. William Orcutt In the world, we constantly interact with people; how can we all die of loneliness? t: 0 0 nj 0 o 0 £ o)0- H r= 0 0 E - 0 0)= .C w 0 O T3 0 £ 0 C 0 C D 0 D O QL g s s _ S g A fool always finds a bigger fool to admire him. £ u (8 - if) 3 CO CO O 3 5 o D SZ CO a -C •O o o c CO - ■D CO 3 O C CO CO 3 5 ° o “ 2 2 CO JD -C O 3 E CD CO CD CD ° o e is - ■o CO a w. 0 SI o (O ■O c +-« CO CO .c o lay say I’m a dreamer, I'm not the only one. someday you’ll join us, e world will live as one. 0 £ £ g v £ EjE £ 0 c I O n co 0) 0 L. k- CO CO CD 0) 5 5 !

Grim determination was the front for facing chem labs and the long rides to BOCES. Even the Bad News Broads buckled as Team Bud persevered. As spring came, most of the thirty-eight members of the Class of '88 were brandishing new licenses and had won a “picturesque trip to North Norwich. By now, they have discovered For Whom the Bell Tolls and are ready for the best of times ... 41 SCPHCA4CI2ES All I want to do is dance.” Don Henly Finding strength in numbers, the Sophomore class rarely lets anything get in its way. Led by GrrAnimals and Dusa's Giblets, they have faced Course II and Biology with a fun- loving attitude. They have learned the difference between Gothic and Corinthian columns and that Cinna the Poet was dealt a bum rap. They have filled the vacating ranks of sports' programs, proving their exuberance is fortified with talent. The Sophomores are not a timid, tiresome class; they are one to be seen and heard.

The first year of high school brings the first Almeda, the first regents, and for most, the first trip through Africa. They can refer to themselves by ti- tle instead of grade, and for the first time their grades show on their high school transcripts. Freshmen year is when homework becomes less of an annoyance and more of a fact of life which assures a knowledge of cloud formations and Romeo and Juliet. Freshmen are now en- couraged to join extracurricular activities and must learn self disipline to coordinate their academics and the activities they pursue outside of class. This self disipline will make it possible to come back for performances. 45 EIGHTH Row 1: Pascal Grapard, Jennifer Harris, Kathy Dicken- son, LeeAnn Briggs, Shona Doyle, Jamie Bauman, Brian Albrecht.

GEAEE Using their past experiences to prepare for new ones, the Eighth Graders are finding themselves by per- forming in musical groups, riding the tractor in ag., banging pots and pans in Home Ec., learning a foreign language and studying the U.S. Constitution. They are that part of the Knight Club which, after being the darl- ing of the spotlight last year, is once again waiting in the wings, enjoying the last year of anonymity and prepar- ing to burst onto the stage in its own time.

Seventh Grade is a year of firsts for the Knight Club’s newest group; the first forum, the first dance, the first real test, and desperately trying to get to first base for the first time. Even under the harsh realities of detention, no more recess, and homework every night, the Seventh Graders have adjusted well to life in the fast lane. They have fallen into step by pounding up and down playing fields and library hill, or by learning how to play a B-flat concert scale, or by try- ing to voice an opinion in a Student Council meeting. A class full of potential, they will soon rise to the top of HCS's charts. 49 ADMINISTRATION Hail to the Chief” Scott Sanderson SUPERINTENDENT, Mr. Thomas Coseo.

Scheduling conflicts in previous years cut down on the group's enroll- ment, but the new music period has given the chorus greater numbers and renewed dedica- tion. A Junior High Chorus provides in- dividualized attention to younger students which will strengthen the program for years to come.

The select, student-directed Greensleeves is in its fifth year at Hamilton, and the members are as in voice as ever. Girls, whose friendship led to singing as the original Greensleeves, were joined a year later by the all-male group In Concert. Today, the mixed ensemble retains its closeness and enthusiasm, holding audi- tions each fall to replace graduating seniors. During the 1986-7 season, the fifteen members of Greensleeves performed in school and community functions, periodically coming together with singers from other areas. Co-directors Christian Clough and Heather Frost are optimistic about the future of the group, hoping that each fall, talented new singers will maintain Greensleeves.

Under the new director Mr. Gallagher, the band changed its focus from marching to concert music. This new, improved band debuted on Parent’s night with a short, but spellbinding performance showing that their enthusiasm and finesse has been renewed. The band proved that this improvement was not a “one night stand” with a standing ovation at the Christmas Concert. With nearly a fourth of the High School students participating, the Senior High Band has become a mean, clean, playing machine. Band is now a class, a learning experience to be en- joyed by everyone. 67 JUNICE Hf l i CANE Every Tuesday and Thursday during third period, sounds of music float through the auditorium doors. On stage is the Junior High Band, a newly-formed group of young musicians who for a long time had no band to call their own. These seventh and eighth graders use this time to tune up their basic notes and rythmns while learning how to play as a team. Junior High Band provides on-the-job-training for these ambitious musicians who soon hope to join the ranks of Senior High Band. Row 1: Jessica Anthony, Shona Doyle, Michael Fish, Kara Ernst.

Hamilton’s traditional wind and string orchestra has changed its tune this year. The curtain opens instead on the String Ensemble, a group of eleven in- strumentalists, diverse in age and experience levels. Under the direction of Mr. Conrad, this ambitious group first showed their talent at the Christmas Concert, receiving enthusiastic ovations for their perfor- mance of “The Christmas Concerto”, a Baroque piece by Corelli. The piece features a string trio, beautifully played by Katie Mogelgaard and Leah Youman on violin, with Hugh Humphreys playing cello. Although new in concept, the String Ensemble has proven that they can achieve a professional sound through practice and dedication. STRING ENSEMBLE 69 STA6E Trumpets, trombones, saxes, piano and percussion all blend to bring the Big Band sound to the Hamilton stage. Practicing after school, the Stage Band plays cool jazz with a professional style. No academic credit is given for being in this group; students play simply for the love of music.

A month of seemingly endless rehearsals become worthwhile as the curtains spread on opening night. The spotlight shines on Hamilton's actors and ac- tresses as they become new and exciting characters from different time zones and every walk of life. However, this spotlight would never shine without the stage crew working behind the scenes. From painting the backdrop to putting the final touches on a piece of scenery, the stage crew always creates a new world, taking us to a street in Padua or a prison cell in Spain. STAGE CREW.

Not waiting for the snows of winter to disappear from the courts, the tennis team began practicing in prepara- tion for the challenge of the Center State. Following Head Chef Youman's advice to use good serves and keep “the ball in the green,” the team melted the snow along with their op- ponents’ hopes for victory. There was no love lost between the team and their foe (except for Fruity’s girl) as they march- ed to the beat of seven very different drums and won the Section III Championship. TENNIS.

They also benefited from the humbling ex- perience of the veterans of '86, Will Bartlett, Matt Shaul, Greg Barton and Jay Ponton.

Both girls' and boys' teams burned up the tracks and runways toward the Center State Conference. The hard-working bunch bopped to the beat of Jane Fonda and made the brand new record boards obsolete. The boys’ varsity was led by eight seniors. Seven members of the squad were ranked among Section III leaders. En route to a third place finish in the Center State, the team had established two school records and broken four. The girls' varsity demolished five school records and established one, sporting a “most consistant Andrea Gieryic and most improved” Nina Lewis. The team sent two individuals and the two mile relay team to the state qualifier meet. BOYS’ VARSITY TRACK. Row 1: Tim Mogelgaard, Eric Hoham, Bernie Empie, Josh Watkin.

This year, the Emerald Knights opened the season spor- ting new uniforms, a conservative running game and four seniors with optimism and hopes of recapturing the jug. After experiencing defeats through the first half of the season, the team, with the guidance of Coaches Blackford and Trudeau, opened up its offense and took to the air. VARSITY FOOTBALL.

Raindrops kept falling on the heads of Field Hockey players as most of their competitions were plagued by rain storms and muddy fields. Battling their way to one of its best seasons in years, they played their hearts out, propelling two of their players to All Star status. The young team loses only one senior, Tricia Eaves, which bodes well for future success. Their determination to be the best showed in their pre-game cheer Let’s go! Let’s fight! Let's win!

Long daily runs were broken up with stops at apple trees on their scenic routes through Central New York. With only one senior leaving, the young team is full of potential. GIRLS’ VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY. Chelley Crouch, Pam Novak, Michelle Spooner, Susan Shea, Nina Lewis, Monica Bolland, Heidi Andrews, Monica Nelson. CRCSS COUNTRY GIRLS' VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY. The superwomen'' of the cross country team logged many fifty mile weeks this season. Their speed was not enough to carry them over tall buildings with a single bound, but it did carry them to the Federation meet in New York, where they raced at VanCortlandt Park. Their race continued as they toured the Big Apple, fighting crowds in Bloomingdales and running at the heels of the Statue of Liberty. Five runners reached All-Star status, and Heidi Andrews competed in the State competition at Buf- falo. At home, the streakers'' took breaks from their grind, swimm- ing in Lake Moraine and taking candy breaks at the Hardware store. JUNIOR HIGH CROSS COUNTRY. These runners maintained Hamilton's record of excellence as the boys burned up the road to become League champs with a record of 7-1. The girls were undefeated champions, shutting out the League competition. JUNIOR HIGH CROSS COUNTRY. Row 1: Lorraine Meyer-Wendt, Carl Lewis. Row 2: Alex Dickson, Jeremy Ogden, Justin Pilichowski.

After losing nine seniors from the previous season, that is what the 1986 Varsity soccer team was made of- inexperience. To make a cloudy situation even darker, the team lost dazzling goalie Will Bartlett and senior mid-fielder Eric Ferito early in the season. Instead of giving the fat lady a chance, the team tenaciously faced a rough Center State with their determination to win. The League coaches E honored Ferlito, Rose and Patrick with All-Star selections, and Bartlett was chosen as the best keeper in the League. JUNIOR HIGH SOCCER. Row 1: Alison Clough, Chris Sacco.

Few people realize the com- mitment it takes to be a cheerleader. Long strenuous workouts and brav- ing cold fall evenings in a mini-skirt make cheerleading a demanding ac- tivity.

Coach Blackford felt this team was the hardest working” and “most satisfying” in his tenure at Hamilton. Although diminuative in numbers and stature, the team was competitive with the Goliaths of the Center State. Ignited by Baker and Strand's outside shooting, and Hinsley and Soule's fierce rebounding, the team highlighted its season with vic- tories over Brookfield and Mor- risville and a berth in the Sec- tionals for the second straight year.

A losing tradition was buried in 1987, as the boys' J.V. thrashed its competition en route to its best record in over twenty years. Jeff Butts scored in the final second of the Waterville game to culminate a season of hard work and individual efforts with a vic- tory and the best J.V. record since teens bopped to the Beatles. 93 GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL.

Cheeses and McDonalds as being the key to success. The real key to their success was no joke, though. Tammy Albee led the team in scoring and steals, while Katrina Animal Ponton pulled down the majority of the team’s rebounds. pp ohhi w b GIRLS' J.V. BASKETBALL.

Just as most of us were pulling ourselves out of bed, the Hockey team was already gliding on the ice of Starr Rink. Early morning practices prepared the Knights for twenty grueling games this season. They captured third place at one of their tournaments, a noble feat for such a young team. Ending with a record of 5- 15, the team hopes to use the experience gained this year to attack the ice in future seasons. 97 E 8 5 O)'© 2 § g © mOC §5 Q-E -8 D £ I STUDENT COUNCIL. Row 1: M. Fish, R.

They highlighted their year with SADD After- noon and SADD Afternoon II, where Houston Astros pitcher Jim Deshais discussed, “The Deadliest Weapon in America.” The chapter worked hard spreading the word, “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk.” ‘It’s all in the way you use it.
