THE HAMILTONIAN 9 The expenses for the trip have been defrayed by having sales of various types, dramas, whist parties, dances and other activities during the High School year. The Senior class will leave for Wash- ington Friday, April 24, and are to re- main for a period of about a week. After spending a day or so in New York, they are to continue on to Wash- ington. They plan to view the Capitol, government buildings, and all other objects of special interest. Through the kindness of the School Board this trip has been made possible ; also by the help of the teachers and townspeople. As to the Senior class itself, it is needless to state that it has labored un- ceasingly, for every pupil has cooper- ated most willingly to gain the objec- tive for which it has long been striving. The Junior class at this time ex- presses its sincerest wishes to the Sen- iors that a very pleasant and success- ful journey will be had. — Dorothy Bancroft, ’26. With the coming of the spring vaca- tion we look forward to a week of rest, and a gathering together of our ener- gies for the last period of the school year. To the Seniors the week means much — a realization of a dream and a goal toward which they have worked hard, and the Hamiltonian takes this opportunity to join with the high school in its wish for the fulfillment of that dream in every detail. With the return to school the Seniors will be on the last stretch of their four year course. To many of them it means the end of their school life. This should mean much, and the most should be made of the opportunity to collect the threads and bind them to- gether for future use. It is a time for all of us to make an extra effort to make our year a suc- cess, so that we may enjoy to the full our long vacation. The Hamiltonian wishes every one a pleasant vacation and a return to school with plenty of “pep.” ixs US ' US ttr ixs isr isr ixs txs isr tss ' iss ' ns tsr ar ns ns ttr ns nr ns nr THE HAMILTONIAN is printed at the plant of NORTH SHORE PRESS, Inc.

To us living ' within a ra- dius of Boston has already come the quickening of our patriotism, because ■we have felt it from the pulse of Lex- ington and Concord in their celebra- tion of the 19th of April. How much has happened in that 150 years; how rapid has been America’s growth; what strides she has made in national as well as international af- fairs, could not be treated in less than volumes, but the pride we have had in that growth can be proclaimed from every page, and we find it unmeasur- able. The example set by our Republic, the peace of our people, the success of the United States as a nation, have indeed made Emerson’s line, “The shot heard ’round the world,” literally true, and we, 150 years later, are experiencing the sight of Europe not a continent of monarchies but of republics with Asia following close in her progress in de- mocracy and South America with de- mocracy already accomplished. THE WASHINGTON TRIP S the month of April draws toward ' a close, we prepare once more to bid the Senior class a temporary fare- well on their coming Washington trip. This trip is planned every year by the graduating class, and has an edu- cational objective. For a time this trip privilege was abolished, but was again returned to the class of nineteen twen- ty-four, and has been given to the class of nineteen twenty-five.

CLASS OF ’25 Miss Davey — Mason, pick up your desk and put it on your book. The other day in English, Miss Davey passed out new books. Emma, on seeing in the front a picture of John Milton, exclaimed, “Oh, isn’t he cute!” Doris Stone and Grace Hooper re- cently joined the bobbed-haired ranks, and we hope the rest will follow their example. Elmer Smith recently appeared at school on time — the morning of the earthquake. Miss Davey — We will now turn to your foreign relations. (U. S. History.) Mason — I haven’t any foreign rela- tions. Hilda has been wandering around looking as if she was hunting for some- thing — Mena has returned again and now Hilda wears a look of great satis- faction. The town will soon have to appropri- ate money for a new sidewalk along the Main Road from Lucy’s house down, if some people don’t let up on it. Carl Haraden is again showing a great liking for Kittys. The night of the Easter Monday dance he asked the orchestra to play “Oh, Katherina.” Miss Davey — Which do you think is the best character, Macbeth or Lady Macbeth? Humphrey — I think Macbeth is the greater character, because he was a man. A favorite saying with a certain Sen- ior girl is, “Oh, Junior, be good.” Helen Lovering’s favorite at present is a “hot dog,” at noon or recess. She is seldom seen without one.
