THIS WORLD-YESTERDAY AND TODAY Parents, Teachers, Friends: This world has just been through one of the darkest periods of its history. But now the facist states of the world have been subdued by the victorious allies. But is the real danger over? Before the development of the fascist countries, revolutionists in the largest country in the world seized control of the government and announced to the world a new system of government. This new system was based on equality of income. But even with the equality of income this so-called new government was primitive in that it did not guarantee fundamental human rights and freedom for its people. This new government has really turned out to be a military dictatorship. The leaders of this revolutionary movement have seized the governments of smaller, weaker neighbors and, hence, made them puppet satellites of the mother country. They have also tried, without success, to seize the governments of other governments by a mixture of propaganda, terriorisrn, and in some cases even civil war. This doctrine is called communism. The communists claim to despise facism, but they have actually adopted the worst features of it. Or, I should say the fascists adopted the worst features of communism. They both allow no or- ganized opposition to the ruling party. Both virtually abolished religion in the beginning. Both teach their subjects to love war and twist their youth's young minds into a military mold. The communists use slave labor to a larger extent than the fascists ever did. They both cultivate sus- picion against foreign countries, although Germany and Italy never succeeded in isolating their subjects so effectively as has the iron curtain. The professed difference between communism and fascism is that in a communist state all means of production, together with banks and stores, are publicly owned. In a fascist state all means of production are merely controlled by the government, There is a difference regarding professed final goals between communism and fascism. The communists look forward to a world proletarian revolution that will abolish capitalism and usher in millenium. Fascism thought in means of racial superiority. Communism is the largest problem that we graduates of '48 have to face. But at least we are rich by historical experience. We know that appeasement is not the answer to totalitarian aggression. Dale Hamman SALUTATDDY SDEECH . . . GUARDIAN OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS The Guardian of the People's Rights is defined in just one word. That word is Constitution Fundamental laws and principles determine the constitution of any country or state. These laws d an principles are necessary for the organization of a country or state to function with the greatest efficiency. Many countries recognize,,their constitution as supreme law of their land, 'llie powers of a - - .Q V constitution are many and mighty, but are greatly needed. lt helps to determine the form of govern- ment and limits the power of those who are our representatives in the government. Constitutions consist of two kinds, written which is employed in the United States and unwritten which exists in England. Representatives either appointed or elected by the people usually determine the contents of a written constitution. On the other hand, unwritten constitutions are always a means of tradition and usually are in the first primitive stages of development. Written constitutions can usually be changed or amended when they are out-moded and no longer useful for the purpose they were intended to represent. Unwritten constitutions may contain as many good characteristics as the other and may fit in accordingly as well. Dictators have arisen from countries bv both legal and illegal methods and have ignored their constitutions altogether and have hindered the prosperity and progress of the people and country. Therefore it is not enough to frame or build a constitution, but to execute its powers in the exact detail, so that it gives a just and understanding opinion to its people, This task in selecting and building a government is necessary- to the success of a democracy. A constitution should pro- vide for the betterment and justification of its people. The Constitution of the United States was formed by very ingenious methods. It grouped to- gether representatives of all groups of people, the rich and the poor alike. These ideas were com- bined together and united into one great document. By comparison and compromise, the Con- stitution was set up as one of the strongest statutes in the world. In the case of our country, the adoption of the Constitution has provided an excellent threshhold for the betterment of the democracy. Democracy strengthens the ideals of peace and humanity, which should be the creed for all nations to follow. In other words, democracy is helped by the development of a constitution, which is made entirely possible by the carrying out of beneficial ideals for that country. Democracy is the voice of the people, and is made possible by a constitution, which is the guardian of the peoples rights. Wendell Phillips MARYJANE BLAIR Knowing her, is liking her.

August 29, 1945, was a great day for Hamilton High School, why-because nineteen Green- horns entered the freshmen class along with a few giggles and bashful ones. Those who enrolled were: June Mills, Alice Myers, Donald Johnson, Lyle Cary, Raymond Collect, Kenneth Taylor, Barbara Newcomer, Imogene Sanxter, Twila Lautenhiser, Dale Hamman, Ralph Clark, Charles Os- borne, Stanley Kunce, Frederick Petre, Charles Dull, Wayne Hagerty, Mary jane Blair and Wendell Phillips. The class was under the leadership of Mr. Moody, The class officers were: Pres., Ken- neth Taylorg Vice Pres., Wendell Phillips, Secretary, Imogene Sanxterg Treasurer, Dale Hammang and the Reporter, Twila Lautzenhiser. Everyone was in suspense until the worst came, the initiation, sponsored by the sophomores. During the year, Charles Osborne entered school in Angola, and Stanley Kunce entered school at Salem. Gene Dean of Bryan, Ohio, joined the class in November. We were active in different organizations and school activities. We then closed the door of our freshman year and looked forward to another-as the sophomores of 1945-46. After a summer vacation once again we were ready for another eight months of school. Kenny entered school at Benson, Arizona, and Dewayne failed to enroll, Early in the fall Corinne Evertts joined our class from LaGrange, Illinois, and Earnestine Fenner from Scott Center bringing our total back to eighteen. We soon organized with Pres., Wendyg Vice Pres., Wayne, Sec., Imogene, Treasurer, Alice, and Reporter, Barbara. The first important event was the freshmen initiation, at which we enjoyed immensley-a lot more than the year before. After that we decided to get to work. We sponsored the Hoosier Hop which mad us feel a little better now. Because that really helped our financial conditions. We all considered it a very successful year. Returning next year as Juniors, a little more dignified, we found out that three of our classmates had dropped out. They were Raymond Collet, Teny Fenner, and Ralph Clark, We soon organ- ized our class. Kenneth Taylor was president and Wendell Phillips took his place when he was absent. Imogene Sanxter recorded all the class activities, Alice Myers collected the money while Corinne Evertts wrote our doings for the paper. The activities of the class grew. We shared in the Fall Festival, conducted the Christmas Card sales, sponsored all school skating parties, sold concessions at ball games and at noon. We had our class play, The Calamity Kids , which proved to be a farce comedy. We entertained the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was held at the Y.M.C!A. in Ft. Wayne in April. As Seniors we came back to make the last year best of all. The enrolment was the same, the total being sixteen members-four of these are the original sixteen. Organization of this year was President, Wendell Phillipsg Vice President, Barbara Newcomer, Secretary, Dale I-Iammang Treasurer, Alice Myers, and News Reporter, Corinne Evertts. We took the responsibility of publishing the Hamiltonian every two weeks. Our biggest project was the publishing of the Anrhor which proved very interesting. We presented our class play Dotty and Daffy january 21. The Seniors will never forget the banquet which was held at Valencia Gardens, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Baccalaureate service was held at the Christian Church on the evening of April 25 with Rev. Maynard of Angola, Indiana, as speaker. We then looked forward eagerly to the largest event of all-the Commencement! This was held on April 30. Our class colors are gray and cardinal, our 'flower is red carnation, and our class motto is Upward and Onward. Although we have gained much knowledge and experience from our high school years we will probably still be classed as Greenhorns in the life we are about to enter. - wp.-..,.v4 I. ?

Here are the reports. I read an advertisement in town that some big name band was playing at Cold Springs Resort and decided that was a good way to spend the evening. Upon arriving in a taxi driven by Chuck Dull fhe owns and operates the Sky-blue Pink Cab Companynj I was much alarmed to find that the band playing was none other than our Kenny Taylor and his Orchestrai He was playing one night only and had an appointment to play at The Copacabana next Saturday night. The singer looked familiar so at the first opportunity I talked to her. She was Corinne Evertts, better known to you as Tiny . She has sang with quite a few name bands but hasn't decided to settle down yet. The next day I picked up a newspaper and noticed that the Dodgers had won another game. Wendell Phillips has been playing with them for five years. The Dodgers have won the World Series for three years in a row and are the favorites again this year. It was Wendy's home run that brought three other men in, that won the series for them last year. I also see in the paper where June Mills is getting another divorce. It seems that this is her third one. Since june lost Lyle she just can't find any one to take his place. By the way Kyle is now head pilot for the Pan American Air Ways. Imy is also a stewardess there. She saved a passenger's life just the other day. Dale Hamman got very sick and was going to jump out but Imy recognized him and got to talking over old times at school-The Pepper Gang and practice for the Senior play. Dale was going to a Convention for Mink Furriers. I inquired about Twila Mae at the drug store. Wayne Hagerty fhe owns it nowj said he thought she was home now so I went out to Lautzenhiser's. Sure enough Twila was home and all her family too. She had met a Doctor fan old acquaintance from Waterlooj the first year she was out of Nurse's Training and was married soon after. She now has two lovely brats. Candy is still her weakness. She informed me that a certain Butler boy finally got up enough nerve to ask Barbara for a date. They went steady for six years and then became engaged. I.hear fbv way of the grapevinej that they are planning a big wedding out at Newcomers. It is to take place next Sunday. Gene Dean is running a Movie Projector Repair Shop. He has torn down twenty-five projectors and has enough extra parts laying around to make one for himself. Good way to make a profit. Mary Lou is now living in Philadelphia. She lives quite close to the Navy Yards. Don re- enlisted for twentylfive years but they have a happy home with two or three little waves. The latest news received in town from Mary jane states that she is now a busy secretary. She fs being transferred from her branch office located at Circle Park to the main office located on the Moon. Her new boss will be none other than Clark Gable. While driving through the country I noticed a big red barn with the name Donald Johnson on it with great big white letters. I stopped and found out that it was the Johnny we all had known in high school. Johnny has taken over his Dad's farm. He and Leora are happily married and have been ever since she graduated. They have one little boyAjohnny, jr. who will start to school this fall. I saw Alice uptown. She is home from New York where she is a Powers Model. Alice just can't find any one to suit her, although she has had many offers. Her latest was Van johnson, but she didn't like red hair. ' Wandering up main street I saw the new school house. It has a large gym, a nice vocational agriculture and home economics department, and a lovely cafeteria. It is the dream of many stu- dents come true. 18 Saying avorite F orite Sport HV F Noted for Ambitions obby H ckname Name Ni :cu- D .. C3 4: C0 5.

JIJNIDIQ CLASS The class of 49 started off with a bang, Kas the story goes.j We started on the early morn- ing of September 2 with 30 members. What a morning that was! The largest class of Hamilton High there ever has been, fanyway of 49 .J just think of what a bright bunch we have. But-not until we received our bright GOI.D 8: BLACK class sweaters, They about put the teachers eyes out, Un case you didn't know, that was the main idea.J As time passed we lost Patricia Petre. Not long after that we found arriving at school a fellow by the name of Dick Bennett. So that still leaves us with the count of 30. We started with a group of our lads playing baseballg after living through that they started on the familiar game of basketball. A few of the fellows play on the first teamg the rest on the second team. We had a party on December 30 at Evelyn Wagoner's. We started on an awful night. The boys had to drive with their heads out the window as it was so foggy. We all arrived at her house after a long scaring ride. We ate and danced and then went home.

SDDHOMUDE CLASS In the fall of 1947, twenty-two of the twenty-four freshmen became sophomores. Pat Rowe was the only former student missing when we organized, then in the middle of November, Max Gnagy left the class for a while to spend the winter in Florida. Our class chose Mrs. Berg as our sponsor, and our officers for the year were as follows: Gene Heston, Presidentg Arnie Nickols, Vice Presidentg Priscilla Myers, Secretaryg Rebecca Wood, Treasurerg and Maurice Dean Ferguson, News Reporter. We were a very busy group on October 9th, for that is the day that we initiated the freshmen. Anyone that might have visited school that day would probably have thought that they were crazy, because they had to wear their clothes inside-out and backwards and go through all doors backwards. October 29th was an outstanding day for all the sophomores, that being the day when we received our class rings. We had our first party of the year in November, and everyone had a grand time, We met at the cafeteria for a potluck supper, and later went to the show at Angola. Our sophomore boys have been very well represented on the basketball second team, and first team, and have done very well this year. Left to right: Ist rnw: Dale Champion.

When the roll was taken in our room, there were forty pupils to begin the new school term. Of this number, there two pupils who had never gone to our school before. Isobel Jo Richardson formerly of Elkhart, Indiana, and Jack states from Youngstown, Ohio. Jack was with us a couple of days, then he entered school at Auburn, Indiana. There has been several changes in the enrollment this year. On September 12, Klma Byan withdrew to enter school at Orland, On September 22, Isobel Jo Richardson withdrew to enter school at Auburn, Indiana, Then on September 29, Richard Miller moved in from Angola. Richard stayed with us until December IB, when he moved back to Angola. On November 9, Shirley Ritter of Pleasant Lake entered our fifth grade. Charalerte and Robert Wilkinson withdrew on February IO. They are moving back to .Fort Wayne. On Halloween our group masked and took part in the parade, and finished the day with refreshments in their room. Christmas time was observed in the usual manner. First was the decorating of the room and drawing names. On the last day of school before vacation we had our exchange, treats, and received our repiirt cards, and were dismissed until January 5, 1948 which was the beginning of our new semester. On Valentine Day we were happy and excited about the sensible and comic valentines we received from those who drew our names, also from our school mates. The band members of our room are Karen Radcliff, Madilyn Heath, Gratia Haughey, Kay Kaiser. Marlice Jean Ferguson, Billy Mathers, Robert Zeigler, and Duane Crain. When the membership drive was on for the newly organized P. T. A. our group worked for new members. We turned in fifteen new members for the organization. Ac the time of this writing the following pupils haven't missed a day of school: Kay Kaiser, Gene Gordon. Marianne Griffith, Marlin Mann, Juanita Perre, Junior Ritter, and Robert Zeiglet. Honor students Qthose receiving no grade below Bl are Kay Kaiser, Janice Gnagy, and Marianne Griffith.

Clara Byam left us soon after school began to go to a school in Michigan, but Nancy Miller, of Angola, soon entered. Later she returned to Angolag Douglas Curtis moved to Detroit, and john Finan returned to Fort Wayne where he had formerly lived. The third grade member- ship has not changed all year. Again this year the fourth grade dramatized The Princess Who Could Not Cry and presented it complete with costumes and properties to the first three grades. Other highlights of the year which broke the monotony of continuous work were the usual Hal- loween Party and parade, the Christmas and Valentine Parties. As usual this room did its share in contributing to the March of Dimes and other worth-while projects. Altogether we've been very happy and I'm sure we will all have pleasant memories of this school year. 34 T' 'I' V'-2:2951 ivy lst row: Gzlrst Haughey, Charles 7 5 , If TZ , , ,.fii., .K K Berbtnan, Onalee Ann Hanes, Q 4 S. -l f zfz i Cell .liit 1 .

IEIQADE UNE Last fall when school opened, twelve little boys and little girls came for the first time to get started on their educational career. The first day, they were all very shy, but before many days had passed, the shyness had worn off and all twenty-four felt completely at home. The second month of school, we greeted two new boys, who came from Fremont school. They were twins-Don and Dean Fuller, On Halloween, we participated in the annual parade through town and enjoyed a party in our tO0m. At Christmas time, we especially enjoyed our visit from Santa Claus. He was such a jolly old fellow and wasn't in a hurry at all. He spent quite a while visiting and joking with us. After Christmas vacation another little boy from Scott Center joined our group. He was Frankie Lee Noragon. ln February another boy joined us. He was Henry DeLong from Metz. During January, too, we bade farwell to one of our members, Patrick Finan, who moved to Fort Wayne. All during the year, we did interesting things besides learning to read and write. We dramatized stories, we painted pictures and made collections of various things. We also enjoyed parties on Valentines' Day and Easter. Our room contributed 68.50 to the March of Dimes. We close this interesting and profitable year with the hope of returning next year with our group to begin our second year of educational aspirations. 86 MARY JANE GUNNERSON-First Grade Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.

TH If HAMI LTCNIAN The Hamiltonian staff was made up of Seniors. The paper was published every two weeks. Even if you didn't hold an office you always had to help, maybe write an article, type a stencil, or even run off a stencil. The first thing to do was to elect officers, they were as follows: Editor-in-chief, Imogene Sanxterg Asst. Editor, Alice Myers, Business Manager, Lyle Caryg Features, Corinne Evertts and Kenny Taylor, Production Manager, june Mills, Circulation Manager, Twila Lautzenhiserg Art Editor, Barbara Newcomer, Grade News, Maryjane Blair, Sports, Wendell Phillips. At first every one was a greenhorn, but it didn't take long for everyone to get acquainted with their job. Some of the famous sayings were: Gee, I lost my article, where is the cleaning fluid, no I mean where is the correcting fluid, or is the editorial written? The motto was To always have the paper ready for circulation on Friday. It always meant work for everyone in the class. Everyone enjoyed publishing the HAMILTON- IAN and we wish the best of luck to the Hamiltonian staff of 1948 and 1949. The Editor SENIUIQ CLASS DLAY On Wednesday night, january 21, 1948 the Senior class presented their class play, Dotty and Daffy. It was a huge success with a capacity audience.

This improved the rest room a lot. fl I:-O O Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to serve. The primary aim of the Future Farmers of America is to develop agricultural leadership, co- operation and citizenship. Organization for 1947-48 was held in October. The following were elected as officers: Presi- dent-Lyle Caryg Vice-President-Delbert Martin, Secretary-Eugene Heston, Treasurer-Vernard Shivelyg Reporterajames Wagonerg Sentinel-Dale .Ienningsg and Adviser-G.

A comparison of Ger- man and American agriculture was made by Mr. Malone-following a very interesting and vivid description of trips through two notorious German prison camps. Our chapter has the agency for Indiana hybrids and is attempting to build up its treasury by sale of seed corn. We attended the district banquet this spring in our district. Some members were selected to represent our chapter at Purdue Universtiy in April as a del- egate to the state convention. A program of coming events was planned. THE GIRLS' SAFETY PATROL The Auxiliary Patrol, an able assistant, was organized four years ago. These girls guard the safety within the building. The Captain Norma Shively and Sharon Heath as Lieutenant, aided by their faithful helpers have done much to improve student government. The members are as follows: jane Petre, Sue Baker, Valta Dirrim, joan Zimmer, Joan Teegardin, Marylyn Rozell, Marlene Clark, Alverta Gall, Sarah Helms, Phyllis Jennings, Sandra Shrider, Alleen Mann and Sharon Grog. SAFETY DATIQDI. SCHOOL PATROL The Safety Patrol was instituted in our school in 1939 by the Hamilton Lions Club under the jurisdiction of the Chicago Motor Club with Mrs. Letha Hanselman its teacher sponsor. This first patrol consisted of eight faithful workers, Robert Zimmer, Captain, Wilbur Albright, Lieutant, Robert Cary, George Haskins, Dewan Rozell, Robert Hamman, jerry Kepler and Lu Reign Sutton. To them and to the courage and perservance of our later members we owe the success of our Safety Patrol. The officers through the years are as follows: Captain Lieutenant 1939-1940 Robert Zimmer Wilber Albright 1940-1941 Robert Hamman Dewan Rozell 1941-1942 Dewan Rozell Paul Benjamin 1942-1943 Paul Benjamin Delos Penland 1943-1944 W.

Taylor Raymond Collett 1944-1945 Homer Hamman Maurice Ferguson 1945-1946 Maurice Ferguson Charles Howard 1946-1947 Charles Howard jack Householder 1947-1948 James Calvin Jerry Aldrich During these eight years of service, guarding the boys and girls to ond from school and during play on the school ground, there have been no accidents. For this perfect record our patrolmen deserve special commenda- tion. 48 Ll IEIQAIQY STAFF The library staff is a very capable, hard working, intelligent group, under the super- vision of Miss Meek. The library staff has dirnished some this year-from other years- with only three taking the position of librarians. These persons are Marabelle Kunce, Wendell Phillips, and Gloria Albright. Marabelle Kunce has charge of the second period in the morning. She is a junior and a very capable person for this position. Wendell Phillips takes over the fourth period-the one just before noon. This senior has the technique of finding just the book you wanted. Gloria Albright rules the place the second period in the afternoon. She is a sopho- more. She knows just how to handle the graders during this period. The officers for the Ju Vice-President ..,....,.. Adult Leader ,.......

Mary jane Gunnerson When enrollment was completed in the spring of 1947, we found our number to be 45, the largest number ever to be enrolled in girls 4-H club work in this township. It seemed advisable, in order that more be accomplished, to divide the group. These groups became the Active Aces with 25 enrolled and the junior Active Aces with 20 enrolled. Living up to the achievements of the past years, these future homemakers won honors in County, District and State Competition. Grand Championship awards in County competition were won in Food Preservation, Baking and Room Improvement. Reserve Championship awards were won in Clothing, Food Preservation, Baking, Room Improvement and Dress Revue. At the County Demonstration Contest, Eloise Beard and Dorothy Beardsley very capably showed their audience how to Slip One Over On Your Furniture. Their demonstration placed second in competition with 19 others. At the County judging contest, five of the eight judges selected to represent Steuben County in the district contest at Columbia City, were from the Hamilton clubs, Donna Haughey, Mary Haughey, Imogene Sanxter, Evelyn Wagoner, and Marylyn Rozell. Five of our members sent 7 exhibits to the State Fair in September. The following placed: joan Teegardin-first and third in Food Preservation, Donna Haugheyfsecond in Room Improvement and third in Clothing, and Mary Haughey-second in Food Preservation, Donna Haughey was awarded a 4-H Club round-trip by the County Extension office for her outstanding club work. Carol Lou Aldrich was selected by the Otsego Township Economics Club as a winner of a trip tit the 4-H Club camp. Under the supervision of adult leader, Mrs. Gunnerson and Junior leaders, Donna Gene Oberlin, Donna Haughey, Imogene Sanxter, Eloise Beard, Corinne Evertts, June Mills, Dorothy Beardsley, Evelyn Wagoner and 'Delores Harger, all of the 45 members completed some eighty projects and exhibited at the County 4-H Festival last August. Eight regularly scheduled meetings were held during the summer for each of the groups. Mothers were invited to a special afternoon tea in july and they responded wholeheartedly. Two meetings were closed by hikes and wiener roasts and social and recreation meetings were held with the Boys 4-H Club. The year was brought to a very successful climax with an Achievement Program held in Decem- ber in the Gym for Boys and Girls Clubs. At this time, the girls clubs were awarded some 115150 in prize money.

Those under freshmen level organized as the Hamilton Lakeside Club and those of high school level or above retained the traditional name of Mamil- ton Boys 'LH Club. The younger group included twenty-eight members and were the charges of a very efficient group of young officers.

SCHCCL CAEETEIQIA Hamilton School Cafeteria opened with the first day of school September 2, 1947, and was in operation every school day. This branch of the school system afforded three cooks this year for the first time in its organization. The cooks this year were: Mrs. Cecil Harger, Mrs. Ottis l-lamman, and Mrs. Randall Grogg. Due to increased enrolment the student patrorqge was the largest this year it has ever been. The student body seemed satisfied and patronized it practically one hundred per cent which defin- itely contributed to its success. A grade A lunch for 20c a day including milk was served and because of standard lunches government reimbursements were obtained. Meals were planned and supervised by Clara Ferguson, Home Economics Teacher. Student assistants duringe the noon hour this year were Eleanor Gaff and Carol Lou Aldrich. CHADEL SEIQVICES Chapel services were continued again during this school year. A program was set up by the ministers of the county in which each min- ister would hold services in each school in the county at least twice during the school year. It is a real contribution to the school and we appreciate this very much. We have hopes this will continue in the school for years to come. ADT DEDAIQTMENT The Hamilton High School Art Department is really only in its second year of existence. When school opened in September there were ten students in the class. Some of the students were ad- vanced students, this being the second year that the schedule was such to permit their taking art. Very good work has been done in water color, wax color, India ink, pencil sketching and oil crayons. We expect to enter three contests and hope to place in some. Our art exhibit is one of the very succesful high-lights of the year. It is held the same time as the Music Festival. 53 OUR BUS DRIVERS Gnagy. onald rooks, Leon Rozell and D Mark B L. to R.-Floyd Clark, Glen Duncan, 5 3 ff 'writ Q32 3 .52 1 -my use uw- mu ,V sn, W..- .mm an-. nn- mn- i A 33.

Auburn 26 49 YELL LEADERS On October 28, 1947 the student body assembled in the gym to choose the cheer leaders for the year. Eleven girls participated in tryouts. The same method was used this year as they did last year. Imogene Sanxter was chosen first, Marilyn Hamman second, and Priscilla Myers thirdg Imogene and Marylin were elected cheer leaders for both teams. Imogene has led cheers for four years, so she received a sweater from The Blue Clad. This is Marylin's first year as cheer leader and she has dune a fine job of cheering. A lot of credit goes to the girls for the sportsmanship they showed and keeping the crowds morale up even when defeat was near. SUBMARINES Under the coaching of Mr. Hall these boys started to learn what they should have learned in the grades. Eeven with this disadvantage they made good progress. They won five of their twenty games. Mr. Hall and the boys worked out a plan so that from now on the grades will get the necessary training.
