The Hamiltonian 13 Virginia Back leaves her passion- ate adoration for the grapevine dance to Milton Sanford, and hopes the lat- ter will be as loyal an enthusiast as she has been of this serpentine step. Irene Tree leaves her tact to get along with Miss Featherstone to Nell Donlon and Georgina Cracknell. Carmela deLuca and Connie Mac- Gregor, charming brunettes, will a booklet to Edwina Alexander on “How I Kept My Hair Curled.” Roger Barron who has the mis- fortune to leave girl friends stranded miles away from home when his gas line is broken and calls his moth- er saying, “Ma, what shall I do now?” leaves these abilities to any junior who is as unfortunate as he. Here’s hoping he won’t bother “Ma” any more.

12 The Hamiltonian To Miss Ward, a heating apparatus for the typewriting room that really heats. To all the faculty, an unlimited supply of “A’s” to be distributed generously among the on-coming students. To the auditorium, comfortable pillows to place on the assembly hall chairs, guaranteed to relieve the ach- ing spots on the spinal column during magazine drives. To the classrooms, we leave well upholstered seats, so that more com- fortable naps may be taken in College History by Georgie Dunn. To the Juniors, we bequeath all the scoldings and lectures we received for overdue book reports, misdemean- ors at play rehearsals, and our neg- ligence in the care of our lockers. INDIVIDUALLY John Peabody leaves his “excess of brains” to anyone who may need them. Also his ability to get to school on time, once a month, to Earl Cummings. Dorothy Kirby wills her attrac- tion for the opposite sex to Louise Moulton. Harriet Cushman willingly be- queaths all the freckles on the bridge of her nose to the fair full face of Barbara Maxwell. To any underweight juniors, Thelma Mann and Pat MacRae joy- fully leave several pounds of surplus weight. Jimmie Gildart, our stanch tackle, leaves his ruggedness shown in more ways than one, to Wallace Knowlton and Ernest Goulding. Johnny Dunn wills his ability to skip periods and get away with it to Ruthie Coggeswell, thinking that she might appreciate a few leisure hours from her toils in her Senior year. Esther Koll bequeaths her knack of having an open text book in history recitations to Dorothy Venard and trusts the latter will get away with it as successfully as Esther did. The favorite old expression “still waters run deep” applies to Nellie Emeney, and she leaves this charac- teristic to Marjorie Peters. Bob Hiller leaves his afternoon sessions with Miss Featherstone to Bob Hamilton. Grace Cullity leaves her love for the strong protecting sex, her vanity, and her associations with the front seat of a certain V-8 to any junior girl who seeks thrills of that type. East Hamilton girls leave their ability to run the school to some SoLitn Hamilton-ites for a change. Johnny Adams leaves his marvel- ous skill in portraying feminine roles to Howard Wetson and Arthur Hans- bury. Mary Bandcroft bequeaths that innocent look, used at the most op- portune times, to Walter Fowler and Bill Moore. Eileen Armstrong wills her unceas- ing chatter to quiet Ann Whittier, hoi)ing it will provide her with more fluent conversation. Bradley Dolliver bequeaths his sportsmanship and winning ways with the girls to Harry Wetson. Violet Rice leaves her quiet ways and friendly manner to Lillian Emeney. Lura Bailey bequeaths her boist- erous attitude and slang expressions to Richard Peale. Helena Tuck leaves her melting glances to Barbara Ham, (Barba ra is doing quite nicely, but Helen is more experienced.) Kitty Cracknell bequeaths her be- witching power of getting other girls’ boy friends away from them to Jeanne Hipson. Richard Greeley wills his blush to Johnnie Mullins who doesn’t know how it feels to be bashful. Arthur Moore leaves his ability to argue at any time to Dorothy Alex- ander. Ralphie Tuck beoueaths his timid voice and dwarf-like stature to Droopy Beliveau. Peggy Sargeant leaves her self con- fidence to Gertrude Sprague and Dorothy Fletcher.

14 The Hamiltonian STUDENT COUNCIL Reading from left to right, back ro iv: John Back, Gertrude Sprague, Richard Peale, Minnie M ' etson, and Alfred McRae; front rnv.-: M’alter Fowler, Roland Payne, Adviser, Dorothy Kirby, and Bradley Dolliver. THE STUDENT COUNCIL KE Student Councdl is made up of pupils from each of the three senior high school grades. The class president and two pupils are chosen to represent each class. Mr. Payne, our principal and advisor, is present at all meetings to talk over any questions or problems that may have come before him, and also to give us advice and suggestions for any matter which we may bring be- fore the Council. The Student Council members are chosen twice during our school year. For the first half of the year its mem- bers were as follows — Seniors : Al- fred McRae, Dorothy Kirby, Bradley Dolliver; Juniors: Walter Fowler, Richard Peale, Gertrude Sprague ; Sophomores : William Stone, Isabelle Dunn, Minnie Wetson. For the last half of the year the Seniors remained the same. The Juniors were Walter Fowler, William Moore and Ruth Cogswell. The Sophomores were Dick Grant, Minnie Wetson and Isabelle Dunn. The officers for the first half year were Bradley Dolliver, President; Walter Fowler, Vice-President; Doro- thy Kirby, Secretary and Treasurer. The officers for the last half year were Walter Fowler, President; Bradley Dolliver, Vice-President; Dorothy Kirby, Secretary ; and Min- nie Wetson, Treasurer. It is our duty, as representatives of the school, to put before the Stu- dent Council and Mr. Payne any difficulties that arise, any matters that may not be understood, class affairs, etc. This organization has proved so valuable that we hope it will continue in years to come. — Dorothy Kirby, ’35
