22 The Hamiltonian Girls Basketball Team LTHOUGH yet in its infancy, the Hamilton Girls’ Basketball team made a splendid showing in its battles with other teams of the North Shore. The first team players were almost entirely intact from the previous season and played with a spirit that could not be excelled. The second team made a valiant fight to surpass the first, and, at times, it was unfair to designate the stand- ing. First team players receiving let- ters were: Captain, Edna Preston, Rita Walsh, Violet Rice, Irene Tree, Dorothy Kirby, Grace Cullity, Nellie Emeney, and Manager, Carmella De- Luca. Second team letters were awarded to the following: Edwina Alexander, Lillian Emeney, Audrey Larravee, Esther Koll, Edna Sprague, and Gei’trude Sprague. Hamilton lost only to Rockport and Manchester, but considering that this was only the second season of prac- tice, the girls have every reason to be pleased with their progress. The schedule for the year was as follows : Score Oppon- Hamilton ents Rockport at Rockport 9 58 Manchester at Manchester 11 31 Urovelami at Hamilton 51 2 Essex at Hamilton 80 4 Rockport at Hamilton 18 41 Essex at Essex 44 22 Country Day School at Beverlv ' 43 12 Essex .Agricultural School 30 15 Manchester at Hamilton 36 42 Country Day School at Hamilton 32 22 Athletic Council ' HIS year a new association was organized for the benefit of ath- letics. Three boys represented the boys’ athletics and one girl repre- sented the girls’ athletics. The three boys nominated were Edward Laski, President: Walter Fowler, Benjamin Robertson, and the captains of the teams throughout the year. The girl elected was Irene Tree, Secretary ; Edna Preston also served as she was captain of the girls’ basketball team. Meetings were held every other Wednesday, when managers were elected and various schemes for mak- ing money were discussed. The coun- cil voted to give letters to those who had earned recognition in athletics. We hope that this association can be carried on in future years as it strengthens the sports field in Ham- ilton High. — Irene Tree, Secretary. VALEDICTORY (Continued from piuje 6) students and teachers. In most schools, some form of {government is set up in which students may participate; in Hamilton this is done through the Student Council Asso- ciation. Last, but by no means the least, let us consider our instructor s and teachers who have been splendidh ' trained in order to impart their knowledge to us. Sometimes we pupils think they have an over-abundant supply of homework assignments, but, upon second thought, we realize that it is through these assignments that we learn to be more self-reliant. As we look back on the progress of edu- cation in the state, we see Massachusetts as a new, young state, introducing new’ methods and improvements, always push- ing forward and progressing until it de- veloped the successful educational system which we have today. Let us hope that we, as young graduates of Hamilton High School, will start out in the w ' orld with the same courage and ambition as the young state of Massachusetts and always push forward to success as we are bidden by our class motto, — “En Avant — Forward!!’’ — Dorothy Greeley.

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.
