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.
