' mmt DEDICATION mmmmmmmm GREETINGS FROM THE FACULTY It is a real pleasure in behalf of the faculty to state that this our first attempt at a school paper, is the result of that ever constant desire on the part of the students to have our Hamilton High School on a footing with the better and more progres- sive schools of the state. And why a school paper? Every wide- awake high school has in addition to its regular routine of work certain branches of activities in which students become interested, and into which they may throw their surplus energy and enthusiasm. We believe, in launching this school paper project, that we will not only give outsiders a chance to see oui‘ school oi gan- ization as it is today, but through it will come additional incentive toward better literary attainments, better school spii ' it and ideals, even than now exist and the achievement of a marked growth in the development of our school at large. i Iay the good work and interest of the students continue so that the future issues of our Hamiltonian shall show well defined evidences of pi ' ogress in all bi ' anches of work and play. Readers, — do not be over-critical to- ward this, our initial effort. Frequent interru])tions of school life this fall have made it practically impossible to work smoothly for any great length of time. Now that we are “back on the job” in eaiaiest with a longer school session avc confidently expect that our November number will turn out to be bigger, bi-oadcr and more interesting than The first issue. Students, — the faculty is back of you heart and soul in this movement ; go at it and Avith that characteristic determina- tion and ever increasing spontaneity and let us all co-operate to make the Hamil- tonian’s first year a big success. GREETINGS : In the past years the Hamilton High School has been lacking a school paper, of any sort. Through the efforts of the Principal, the assistant teachers, and the editorial staff, “The Hamiltonian’’ is mak- ing its initial appearance Avith this i.ssue. It has been the desire of the school ad- ministration to bring the students into close felloAvship Avith each other, by means of athletics and social activities. The pub- lication of “The Hamiltonian’’ Avill go a long Avay toAvards realizing this desire. All true students aauII help to make this paper a success by reading its columns and submitting contributions or sugges- tions from time to time. A hearty Aveleome is given to the fresh- men Avhose large enrollment is very en- couraging. It is to be desired that the first year students take a deej) interest in “The Hamiltonian’’ since in years to come they are the ones Avho Avill take the places noAV held by the upperclassmen. We are veiy glad to see the active int- erest so far taken by the students in this project of publishing a school paper. Noav that the co-operation of the student body has been expressed Ave feel that nothing- stands in the Avay of the success of this, our new undertaking. EDITOR IN CHIEF 2

NOVEMBER The day is cold, and dark, and dreary ; It rains, and the wind is never weary ; The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall. And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary ; My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast. And the days are dark and dreary. Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all. Into each life some rain must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary. “The Rainy Day’’ A poem from Longfellow representing the month will appear in each month’s issue of our paper.

The man I marry must not be a coward.’’ These harsh words came from the lips of Janet Taylor, who had been engaged to Richard Moffit for two years. Now it was all over. Janet gave him back his ring sadly, but her- heart was determined and she would not swerve from her duty. “Good-bye, Janet. Think of me as well as you can.’’ He walked down the steps and went out the little white gate. 3
