The Hamiltonian 19 The Hamilton ‘Tattler by Tell-Tale We wonder why Doris Finch and Mary DeLuca show such signs of sleepiness during class? Can it be that they were out too late last night with Grant and Arthur? In one of the recent Latin class examinations the principal parts of a Latin verb were asked for. Upon Billie Belisle’s paper was written : “Slippeo, slippere, falli, bumptus. Mr. Malone returned the paper with these words written upon it: Falio, failere, flunctum, suspendum.” Mrs. Boyd: “Carter, construct a sentence using the word ‘Archaic.’ ’’ Eddie Carter: “Well, I — uh. We can’t have our cake and eat it too.’’ Heard in Biology Class Pupil (after lesson on creation) : “But, Mr. Branch, my father says we are descended from monkeys.” Mr. Branch: “We can’t discuss your private family affairs in class.” Janice Gould: “She told me that you told her the secret I told you not to tell her.” Marjorie Dodge: “The mean thing! I told her not to tell you I told her.” Janice Gould: “Well, don’t tell her that I told you she told me.” Koloski (standing in front of the mirror) : “I’ve looked myself all over and I don’t see where it can be.” Miss McRae: “Did you lose some- thing, Alexander?” Koloski : “No, it must be here somewhei ' e, Laski said the joke was on me.” The Class of 1934 leaves as a warning to the Seniors: “Don’t any- one with a weak heart attempt to climb Washington Monument.” “What’s the shape of the earth?” asked Mrs. Earner, calling suddenly upon Neil. “Round.” “How do you know it’s round?” “Well,” said Neil, “it’s square, then. I don’t want to start any argument.” Talk about rodeos! If any are as excellent as thq one given at the Hamilton ball field one afternoon be- fore baseball practice, they are wel! worth seeing. When the seniors are giving their class presents, they should certainly remember Mr. Branch with a Hobby Horse WITH A BRAKE ! Of course, as a bare-back rider he is good, so good that he doesn’t know his own courage (or a horse’s either.) I guess it is the way he has with all dumb animals, yes, including his Bi- ology class ! Did he think the pupils didn’t sus- pect why he persisted in walking around the room in every study period which he had the day after his wonderful display of horsemanship? Well, the truth of the matter is that the pupils knew the answer!

The Hamiltonian 21 Athletics Boys Athletic Report TN our review of athletics at Hamil- ton High School during the past year, we will begin with Football. With a schedule of nine games, Hamilton High won three and lost six. Although this is not a surpris- ing record, Hamilton enjoys victories over its two major rivals, Manches- ter and Rockport. Another highlight of the schedule was the fac t that our boys held the strong Ipswich team to two touchdowns while scoring one against the opposition. During the football season, our school experienced a change in the coaching staff with Mr. Wilson re- placing Mr. Progin as head coach. Hamilton High looks forward to a banner season next fall.

In a schedule of twelve games, Hamilton won two and lost ten. The highlight of the basketball season was the fine playing of our team in the North Shore Scholastic Tournament.

This year Hamilton High is enjoying a fine season. However, we are unable to give you the scores of all the games, because the “Hamil- tonian” goes to the press before the playing season is finished. At the present time, Hamilton en- joys a comfortable lead in the league composed of Hamilton, Rockport, Manchester, and Essex. In league competition, Hamilton has won four and has lost only one game.
