Time passed quickly and soon we found ourselves in the eighth grade. In the latter part of this year, we took a trip, under the supervision of Miss Anderson, our history teacher, through Concord, Lexington, and Sudbury, where we saw many inter- esting, as well as historical, places. As the next year rolled upon us, we became the gay freshmen. An out- standing feature of this year was the choosing of our class pins. They had a gold head of Alexander Hamilton, on a background of green and a guard bearing the class date of graduation from the junior high. We took an- other trip, under the supervision of Miss Anderson, visiting many places of historic interest in Boston. Dur- ing the year, we had a class party with Miss Anderson and Mr. Payne as chaperons. We played games and had refreshments and all went home happy as well as full of cake and ice cream! In June 1936, we received our diplomas and bade farewell to our junior high teachers; Miss Ander- son, Miss Hagglund, Mrs. Ramer, Miss Ready, Mr. Progin, Mr. Bowden, Miss Barker, and Miss Featherstone. When we became the sophomores in the senior high we realized that we were up against a different situa- tion and must really buckle down to work ; however, we managed to make a success of it. We chose our class officers as follows : President, George Sprague, Vice President, Isabelle Peale, Secretary, Myrtle Allen, Treas- urer, Bernard Greeley. During the year, we held a class social ; much fun and entertainment was enjoyed, ending with plenty of good eats. The day after school was out in June a large group of sopho- mores, with Mr. Payne and Mrs. C. F. Poole, as chaperons, sailed to Prov- incetown and back on the S.S. STEET- PIER. We had a very fine time and there were only a few cases of sea- sickness. In the evening, the group divided and found different sources of entertainment in Boston. In our junior year we chose our class officers as follows : President, Bernard Greeley, Vice President, Isa- belle Peale, Secretary, Myrtle Allen, Treasurer, Norman Dane. We next chose our class rings. They have a gold head of Hamilton set on a black background. Immediately we began discussing our Junior Prom which was to come off May 25, 1937. Due to the fact that the majority of the class knew very little about dancing, we held a social, under the super- vision of Mr. Malone, a few weeks before the Prom; and we were all greatly amused at watching our fel- low classmates attempt to learn to dance. Finally the big event oc- curred. The hall was decorated with silver stars on a blue background with blue and silver streamers hang- ing from the ceiling. The Prom was a grand success and all had a wonder- ful time. As this year was the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Horace Mann, Massachusetts’ first Commis- sioner of Education, a play was given at graduation in acknowledgment of the event, and the juniors were called upon to present it as a fare- well to the seniors. Again a group of seafaring juniors paid another visit to Provincetown with as much enthusiasm as before. At last we became the high and mighty seniors ! As usual, we chose our class officers, this time as follows: President, Norman Dane, Vice Presi- dent, Lsabelle Peale, Secretary, Flor- ence Dunn, Treasurer, Marguerite Bilodeau. This year we had our grad- uation pictures taken before Christ- mas and had a grand time exchang- ing them with our classmates. In the soring of our senior year, a series of class plays v as held on the audi- 10 The HAMILTONIAN torium stage which had been so won- derfully equipped with curtains, as well as foot and flood lights. These accessories are a generous gift of Mrs. Mabel Norman Cerio, as an ap- preciation of the tribute paid to her brother, the late Maxwell Norman, by a student of the high school last Memorial Day. A week after the plays were pre- sented, a group of about twenty seniors, including Mr. and Mrs. Payne as chaperons, went to Wash- ington for a week’s trip. We went to and from New York by boat and the rest of the way by bus. We saw many interesting things and all had a very enjoyable time. In both junior and senior high there has always been a Student Council with the exception of the lat- ter part of this past year, when the privilege was taken away because of the school strike. Previously it had been the privilege of each class to send its president and two represen- tatives to this Council to discuss school affairs. When our class week comes, we shall enjoy being let out of school a lew days before under-classmen. Some have expressed their desire to spend a day at Canobie Lake, New Hampshire, and on the same evening go to some seaside resort for a shore dinner. On the evening of June 21, we shall receive our dinlomas and our high school days will be forever ended, but not forgotten. — George Sprague. CLASS PROPHECY TN the form of a diary faithfully kept by Marguerite Bilodeau from May 1 to May 30, 1945. Oh, my, what a day! This life of superintending the Riverside Hospi- tal isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Who would have thought, way back in Hamilton when I was a senior, class of ’38, that I would be super- vising other people ! May 2 : I did have a moment olf today to speak with my able dietician. Myrtle Allen. ’Member back in ’38 when Myrt was a senior and took such a fancy to a tall blond? Those were the good old days ! Imagine her giving him up to prepare meals for the weak and disabled ! To continue, Myrt told me she received a letter from home and was surprised to hear that Tom Mullins had fulfilled his life- long ambition to become a golf pro- fessor at the Miami course in Florida. How times do change! Back in ’38 he was plodding after lost balls at Myopia Club. I wonder how he likes the change? The letter continued on to say that Van Withee (the cut-up of our class) , had opened a radio broadcasting sta- tion of his own and was doing finely. The best program of the day comes when Withee carries on a one-man debate. The house wives turn him on the air to put their young ones to sleep while they do their bx ' eakfast dishes. How he finds the time to do this work is a mystery as I hear he is still cmite a play-boy. Betty Davison is killing two birds with one stone. Seeing that she stayed behind so often when “hubby” took up gun and knapsack and trampecl half across the continent alone (?), she is supervising the stu- dent nurses arriving at the United States Naval Base to take care of the wounded sailors. May 3: Guess who came in Ward D today? Yes, it was Bernard Greeley. It’s the first time I’ve seen him since he was going to Tufts Col- lege. He has, since then, been grad- uated with honors. He’s the new doctor on our staff and will have charge of Ward D where we put our violent patients. I’m sure that Dr. Greeley’s quiet, patient, and winning ways will do their xxart in quieting down this lively ward. I saw Myrt and showed her a letter I’ve just received, and was she sur- The HAMILTONIAN prisecl to know that Evelyn Hans- oury now owns and operates an ex- clusive dress shop on Fifth Avenue! It d( esn’t seem possible. When we were together in school, Evelyn was always the first to receive work from the teachers to run off on our ancient mimeograph machine. It surprised me that she didn’t stay with the Babb Supply Company demonstrating how to use the new automatic ink ab- sorber. Margaret Beers did marry J. McG. you know, just as we all knew she would even way back when we were in school. She has settled down in Hartford, Connecticut, and is giving most of her time and talent to ' dood- ling.”! don’t think “Hubby” will mind so long as she leaves her talent out of his den. May 9: Was I excited yesterday! Spread over the front page was the thrilling story of how Florence Dunn rescued four people from the burning China Clipper. She certainly chose the right vocation when she became a flying hostess to exercise her mar- velous tact, charming personality, and pleasing disposition. She’ll probably get a medal along with more publicity for her bravery. Also on the inside page of that same newspaper I saw an item of great intei’est. George Sprague, who used to live on Bridge Street and run his father’s farm, has been given th ' contract to build the new bridge from f-idkoping to Uddevalla, Denmark. If I remember correctly, he got a scholarshin to Worcester Polvtech- nical Institute and proved so brilliant that he knew more than the “nrofs.” I gathered as much when he an- swered everybody’s nuestions in class. May 16: Last night I was rather blue, so Myrt and I went to a movie. Thp newsreel wasn’t very interesting until I saw Isabelle twe called her “Izzv” back in ’881 Peale and her flock of Continental Danseurs. She anr«eared for about five minutes on the “flicker” and was she a sensation ! Her life’s ambition was now on the verge of being completed. Her new routines for the American Ballet were being rehearse d by her troupe and would be shown to the public at the opening of the opera season. Mary Sargent appeared next on the newsreel. She certainly has been the talk of the town ever since she and that boy-friend of hers opened a Type-While-You-Wait Bureau. The boy-friend supplied the typewriter and she the human power to run the thing. They certainly cleaned up at Harvard for the mid-year exams. She’s in the teaching department now, showing the professors how to create dynamic speeches to wake up sleepy students. On the way home, Myrt and I stopped at the soda counter and were we surprised to see Madly n Back breeze in after us! She was out on a “scoop,” being the night roving re- porter. She hasn’t changed much; she still is the tall, dignified, master- mind that I knew Imck in ’38. May 20 : Well, Yale has a new faculty member ! Say, do I remember what a whizz Norman Nielson was in Chemistry ! No wonder the trustees chose him to head the Chemical Lab- oratory Department. Myrt just told me she was handing in her resigna- tion. She gave as the reason that she had now ' enough rain money, and it vasn’t necessary for her to wmrk anv more. I know better. (Two can live as cheaply as one, so ■what?) Hardy Prince and Norman Dane have incorporated their brains and money and are now opening a mail- order wholesale house, selling refrig- erators to the Eskimos and sun-tan oil to the Africans. I guess this ven- ture w ' ill be as successful as their Marriage Bureau for Old Maids. Prince got tired of the florist busi- ness and Dane was equally disgusted with his position as a touring guide through Endless Caverns. May 21 : Petite Mary Perkins now has a half-hour radio program of her own. She gives modern internreta- tions of the old favorites which she 12 The HAMILTONIAN practiced back in the high school days. I wonder how Withee can stand the competition? Remember that proud walk Eleanor Collins had when we went to school? She’s putting it to good use now, modeling evening wear at Saks’ Fifth Avenue Shop. I must buy a copy of this month’s Vogue. She is present- ing a “Where Do I Go From Here’’ model from Madame Hansbury’s ex- clusive salon. I guess Fll be going to the movies tonight. The main feature intrigues me. Ruth Jackson, after many years’ hard work, has finally been made a star because of the human touch she put into Unicari ' ed Propertii. By the way, her leading man’s name is Hall. The combination ought to be good. May 31 : I see by the papers that Virginia Wallace is getting ready to open her private school for tiny tots. Every summer, after teaching school to the little folk, she earned enough by working in the Silver Dollar Bar to ooen this kindergarten school. I certainly hope she succeeds. What a busy month this has been ! It seems that most of my original class has broken into the news some- time or other this month. I guess I had better look more closely through the papers next month. I may find some more interesting gossip. Sorry to leave off now, but I’ve been paged by my assistant and must go out on an emergency case. Will jot down more news of mv classmates as I hear it. Au revoir for the present. CLASS WILL OF 1938 W E, the Senior Class of Hamilton High School, which is situated in the grand metropolis of Hamilton, County of Essex, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being sound in mind, memory, and understanding (who wouldn’t be with our stable foundation of knowledge) do make, publish, and declare the following as, and for, our last will and testament. That is to say: I. We declare all previous wills and testamentary evidence of a simi- lar nature null and void. IT We, being a fairly tolerable group (ask our instructors), do be. ciueath collectively and individually to both teachers and pupils, the ar- ticles, attitudes or virtues which we consider beneficial to the aforemen- tioned : COLLECTIVELY To Miss Ward, we leave our thanks for the fine comradely spirit which existed between teacher and pupil throughout the year. To Mrs. Boyd, we thoughtfully be- (lueath a small airplane so that she may travel swiftly and safely over the icy roads between Hamilton High School and Billerica during the months when King Winter reigns over these northern parts. To Mr. Malone, a million dollars that he may settle down with a hlonde. To Mr. Walton, a gym class that will show up completely equii)ped for exercise. To Mr. Wales, nothing is large or small except by comparison ; there- fore we leave Mr. Wales a pair of shoes having two-inch soles. To Miss Edmondson, we bequeath an “Austin’’ which she has so long desired. To Mr. Payne, a perfect secretary with whom he can find no flaws. INDIVIDUALLY M. Allen bequeaths to W. Koloski, H. Baker, and G. Harrigan the A’s she always received in English. The HAMILTONIAN 13 M. Back leaves her petite figure to Fiances Manthorn and K. Mann. M. Beers leaves her ability to en- snare the hearts of the Northwest Trekkers to Bertha Webb and Patri- cia Faulkner. M. Bilodeau bestows her ability to r:tand in good with the teachers to Walter Mac G rath and Joseph Phaneuf. E. Collins bestows her ability to interrupt classes with her hearty laugh to Betty Fletcher. N. Dane bequeaths his position as taxi-driver of the senior class to Don- ald Haskell. B. Davison leaves her feminine wiles to Rita Cullity and Ruth Cam- ei ' on. F. Dunn leaves her sense of direc- tion in finding Ipswich to Evelyn Dodge and Eleanor Thompson. B. Greeley leaves his athletic abil- ity to Philip Keyser. E. Hansbury leaves that auburn hair of hers to an.v .junior who may be envious of it. R. Jackson passes her gentle dis- position on to Helen Peters. T. Mullins bequeaths to Ralph Harrigan his ability to remember history dates. N. Nielsen bequeaths his diminu- tive stature to Harold Day. I. Peale bequeaths her pleasing plumpness to Pauline Powers. M. Perkins leaves her book, How To Drive a Ford, to Dot Perkins. M. Sargent assigns her position and ability as secretary to Mr. Payne to Edwina Wilbur who, by her ener- getic attempts in the typing room, seems to need all the ability she can obtain. G. Sprague bequeaths his fashion plate characteristics to Tom Miller- ick. and his efficiency to wash dishes in the cafeteria to Mary Moore. V. Wallace leaves her appreciation for an 80 feet per second automotive speed to “Let” Charles who seems to dote on a Buick to do just that. V. Withee leaves his highly accom- plished art of nose-blowing to V. MacParland in the hope that it will save “Mac” from having a nasal hemorrhage. H. Prince leaves the school — a sigh of relief, while at the same time he is not indifferent to the fact that in- structors will probaoly heave a coi’- responding sigh. Lastly, we leave Rudy Smerage a crew of assistants that will be much more competent than the boys from the study halls. Rudy has done so well this past year as a furnace thermostat that we believe he should be promoted to the position of HEAD JANITOR; so, for above mentioned janitor, we install an automatic oil burner that he may be able to keep the school rooms warm without the necessary effort that it takes to shovel coal and ashes. We appoint Sir Rudolph Smerage (the knight who underwent the sooty yoke of furnace-room vassalage), as executor of this, our last will and testament, and direct him to attend this document with untiring effort. In witness thereof, we have here- unto set our hand and seal at our residence in the Hamilton High School, on the twenty-third day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty- eight.

The Shadow — He knows!!! 14 The HAMILTONIAN FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN LITERATURE 1. ji OBiN Hood is one of my -Cv favorite characters in lit- erature. His many famous deeds, exploits, and adventures have been told in so many books and magazines, that he seems indeed a live character in the minds of readers. The life led by Robin Hood and his outlaws inter- ests every type of person ; and Scott, in his Ivanhoe portrays this phase of the great outlaw to full advantage. 2. King Richard Coeur de Lion is most noted for his fabulous deeds of arms in the third Crusade. How- ever, in Ivanhoe he shows all the rualities and characteristics which have made him practically a legend- ary figure in literature. He interests me by his disdain for kingly roles, preferring a suit or armor, a war- horse, and battles to pomp and cere- mony. •‘k Ivanhoe, the Saxon minion of King Richard, is a favorite character of mine because of his knightly abil- ity and good dualities in general. In tournaments he was ever foremost, but in plain life he was an ordinary voung man, thus showing that he was a giant only in deeds of arms. Ivan- hoe can easily be understood to be a favorite of the King’s when one con- siders his excellent nualities. 4. Friar Tuck of Robin Hood fame is well known to eveiw lover of books. His metamorphosis f ' om a menial friar to a fighting outlaw of Sherwood forest makes him a most interesting character. In Ivanho ' . this curta 1 friar has quite an import- ant part: and the interest and humor he wakes from the reader account ' s for much of the popularity of the book. 5. Quentin Durward, an adven- turous Scottish youth in the court of Louis XI of France, has manv adven- tures in the verv short period of his stay there. He interests me through his ability as a man able to foil con- spiracies and remain faithful to his trust in the face of great odds. The romance he has with the lady Isabel is also quite entertaining. G. John Ridd, the giant farmer in Blackmore’s Lontu Doone interests the reader by his great size and strength, good will, and adventures with the Doones. He triumphs over all odds, and the struggle he under- goes makes the book exceedingly in- teresting. Ridd finally emerges as a knight, and he is able to marry the beautiful Lorna Doone. 7. Lorna Doone, the beautiful maiden in the book of the same name was gentle, and true to her lover, John Ridd. In her earliest years, she thought she was a Doone, a daughter of a large tribe of outlaws ; but, when it was proven that Lorna was born of a high and noble family, she was taken to the court of England to live. However, even when she became a noble lady, she remembered all the kindnesses of her old friends and chose to live among them. 8. Adam Bede, an upright man, typifying all good qualities in man, is the outstanding character in George Eliot’s book of the same name. It is interesting to read how he manages and reacts with the prob- lems which beset him. His is a verv hard struggle after his father’s death. He has his mother to care for, and his affianced bride forsakes him, leaving his road indeed a hard one. 9. Maggie Tulliver, a verv inter- esting character in the Mill On the Floss, another of George Eliot’s Problem novels, has difficult decisions to make. She must decide between mavrv ' Pg the man whom she loves, nnd thus opposing her father’s and ip ' other’s wishes, or giving him up and remaining at peace with her familv. This struggle and its final outcome makes the book one of the author’s finest works. The HAMILTONIAN 15 10. Jacob Riis, in his autobiog- raphy, tells the story of his migra- tion to America from Denmark and of the struggles he underwent to gain a foothold in this country. Mr. Riis writes in a very interesting fashion, punctuating his story with bits of humor. His life from a poor emigrant to a self-made, well-to-do, philanthropic American citizen makes very interesting reading. — Norman Nielsen, ’38. THE WASHINGTON TRIP O N April 29 the seniors, accom- panied by Mr. and Mrs. Roland W. Payne as chaperons, left Hamil- ton High School for Washington, D. C. We left India Wharf, Boston, at 5:30 P.M. for New York, arriving there about 8 o’clock Saturday morn- ing. Although at times the water was rather rough, the boat trip was very enjoyable. From the wharf in New York we boarded a bus and were told that our first stop would be In- dependence Hall in Philadelphia. From there we visited the home of Betsy Ross, where our first flag was made, and then went to the Sylvania Hotel for luncheon. After luncheon we left for Washington, arriving t’lere about 6:30 standard time. After enjoying a turkey dinner, we had the evening to ourselves. Some of us went to the movies while others toured the city. The next morning, Sunday, we left for Mount Vernon, the home of George Wash- ington. We saw his home, the beau- tiful gardens and grounds, and visit- ed the tomb of Martha and George Washington. Leaving Mount Ver- non, we visited the George Washing- ton Masonic Memorial where we were shown the beautiful lighting effects in the auditorium. We then passed through Fort Meyer and on to the Lee Mansion. We traveled through Arlington Cemetei’y and saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Amphitheater. The Lincoln Mem- orial was the last place visited be- foi’e luncheon. In the afternoon we went to the Washington Monument. Some had the courage to climb it, but the ma- jority rode up in the elevator. The next places visited were the Smith- sonian Institute and the National Museum; we felt that the time al- lotted to these interesting places was far too short. In the evening, we went to the Congressional Library and saw the original copy of the Constitution of the United States. Monday morning we visited the Franciscan Monastery, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and several rooms in the White House and the Supreme Court. Leaving the Su- preme Court, we went to the front of the Capitol where we had our pic- tures taken and then went on a tour including the Capitol, the Senate Chambers, and the House of Repre- sentatives. Monday afternoon we went to Annapolis and watched the midshipmen drill. Tuesday we were shown through the Federal Bureau of Investigation. After luncheon, we left for the Shen- andoah Caverns in Virginia. We took several pictures of the vallev from the Skyline Drive, which is 3330 feet above the sea’s level. In the early evening, we visited the Cav- ern where the limestone has formed several objects which are very na- tural and beautiful. After breakfasting Wednesdav morning, we left for York, Pennsyl- vania. On the way we stopped at Get- tysburg where we spent an hour. Thursday morning we left for New 16 The HAMILTONIAN York, stopping at Valley Forge on the way. Thursday night we visited Radio City and saw Rudy Vallee broadcast and then went over to Roxy’s thea- tre. The next morning some of us went shopping and then took a sight- seeing trip about New York City, visiting Grant’s Tomb, Chinatown, and the Bowery, showing up at the boat for our return trip to Boston by 5:30 P.M. After dinner on the boat, all gath- ered and presented our chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. Payne, with a pair of sterling silver candlesticks in appre- ciation of their splendid companion- ship which we enjoyed very much throughout the entire trip.

Good- bye to Mr. Payne’s favorite expres- sion, “This isn’t just between you and me, speak up so the whole class can hear you.” Goodbye to our Lab. periods, in which we have witnessed successful, as well as disastrous, ex- periments ; when even the instructor didn’t know what was going to hap- pen, but hoped for the best ! Farewell to assemblies which al- ways take the place of a study peri- od and to the magazine drives through which we sit with unexpr essed thougnts while Joe Kenny repeats the same jokes we have heard each year since our entrance to Hamilton High ! Our final adieu is to our good na- tured, though sometimes a bit dis- turbed janitor, who, by shutting the heat off in March, tries to save the taxpayers five cents on the coal bill ! Goodbye to his improvised candy shop The HAMILTONIAN I 7 in the boiler room where one buys a bar of candy and, after giving Rudy the nickle, is asked to return the wrapper ! Goodbye to this good man who wields the sturdy floor mop, tak- ing anything in his path, whether rubbish, students or teachers! In bidding farewell to these fond recollections, we realize that if we meet nothing more disastrous in life, we shall be classed among the very fortunate. — Eleanor Collins, ’38. SONNET As one who long hath worked with tired pen To write a sonnet for a morning class, tfl I rest and sigh and dream and think, and then I view the empty page with grief alas ! I long for aid, yet know I dare not ask ; The sheet is bare, and still the pen is dry. Shall I be able for the hope ' ess task? I weep and wail and sadly wipe my eye. Oh, woe is me! Oh, death, where is thy sting! When I poor mortal think of my dire fate I wish that I might dance instead, and sing Or find a good excuse to come in late. A day will come when 1 shall toil no more On sonnets dry, that I still deem a liore. — M. Perkins, ’38. LA PREMIERE CLASSE FRANCAISE U NE des histoires interessantes que nous avens lu dans la premiere classe frangaise est I’his- toire entitulee, “Les Sabots Du Petit Albert.” Cette histoire raconte la vie d’un petit garcon qui demeurait dans un village en France. II etait orphelin et vivait avec une vieille tante. Elle etait tres mechante ; chaque fois qu’elle lui donnait un morceau de pain elle soupirait. Une fois, le maitre d’ecole condui- sait ses eleves a la messe de minuit. Ce soil- etait tres rigoureux. Tons les eleves etaient chaudement ha- billes. Mais le petit n’avait que ses habits de tons les jours et ces lourds sabots. Ses carnarades se moquaient de lui parcequ’il etait habille de cette maniere. Quand il fut dans I’eglise, il de- manda au petit Noel de lui donner des habits comme ces carnarades. Le petit Albert sortant de I’eglise s’arreta devant un enfant qui dormait et le pauvre petit n’avait pas de Souliers. Le petit Albert retira un de ses sabots, le posa devant I’enfant et retourna a la maison. La mechante femme le battit, puis I’envoya au lit. Mais le lendemain a sa surprise elle a vu des jouets et des bonbons, et devant ces tresors, les deux sabots. Quand le petit est descendu le cure eiitra avec une dame, et expliciua tout. La femme exprima le desir d’adop- ter le petit. La tante, tres contente, consentit, et le petit Albert alia vivre dans le chateau de sa bienfactrice. — Florette Riendeau, Grade XI. 18 The HAMILTONIAN HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIAL DAY ASSEMBLY Friday, May 27, 1938 Welcome to Guests and Friends Principal R.

Pianist: Marguerite Bilodeau COMMERCIAL NOTES D uring our senior year, our com- mercial studies included Sales- manship and Commercial Law. In Salesmanship we learned the art of buying and selling from both the customers’ and retailers’ viewpoint. After having selected an article to make a project notebook on, each pupil gave a demonstration sale of his particular product. Seeing the methods of buying used by different types of customers was very instruc- tive. Commercial Law proved very in- teresting. It deals with the rights of the parties in making contracts. A mock trial was given in class to see how proficient we were in conducting a law suit. In connection with our study of laws governing sales, we held an auction sale in class, each pupil bringing some article which the auctioneer sold to the highest bidder. — Mary Perkins, ’38. T he Second Year shorthand pupils who are competing in the Order of Gregg Artists Membership are given tests which are arrano-ed by the Business Education World and (he Gregg Company. These tests are corrected in New’ York City by the officials of the comnanie«. The pupils who have made acceptable shorthand no es for 0. G. A. certificates are : Kathryn Mann. Ruth Cameron. Bertha Webb, Eleanor Thompson, William Koloski, and Walter Mc- Grath. Those who made perfect copies in their Junior Tesls are: Phyllis Hawkins, Joseph Phaneuf, and Bertha Webb. In the Compleie Theory Tests on shorthand outlines, a rank of over 90% must be ob- tained. The pupils who have attained this mark are as follows : Ruth Cam- eron, Harold Day, Phyllis Haw ' kins, Kathryn Mann, and Bertha Webb. The Business Education World publishes monthly projects, which the .second year bookkeeping students are working to w’in. These te.sts, too, are corrected in New York. Those who have earned certificates are : Henry Baker, Ruth Cameron, Harold Day, Phyllis Hawkins, and Bertha Webb. Those who have received ad- di ioual gold seals for their work are: Harold Day, Bertha Webb, and Phyl- lis Hawkins. A perfect Senior Test copy was made by Phyllis Hawkins of the junior class. The members of the second year typing classes have been working to achieve Junior Test Awards and Competent Typist Speed Certifi-a es. The work must contain not more than five errors and must be typed for a period of ten minutes. Among those who have won, and the number of times arc: Evelyn Hansbury 2, Ralph Harrigan 2. Phvllis Hawkins 3, Kathryn Mann 2, Helen Peters 1, Ihe HAMILTONIAN 19 Joseph Phaneuf 1, Eleanor Thomp- son i, and Bertha Webb 1. OFFICE PRACTICE I T is the aim and purpose of this class to prepare its members for the business office. All the year we were instilled with the need for correct usage of gram- mar, punctuation, shorthand, and typewriting ability, speed, accuracy in all that was to be done. We had an opportunity to apply this knowledge in the extra work we were asked to do. Every week one of our girls was assigned to the office to assist Mr. Payne, and one girl was assigned the attendance slip every morning for a month. Among the many interesting studies made was that of editing. The knowl- edge gained was utilized in a major project, publishing “The Barker.” Wi h’n two weeks all of the material was ready for our “press.” Through the courtesy of the A. B. Dick Corn- pan v, we were able to use two colors on the cover of our magazine. The staff for this publication was as fol- lows : Editor-vn-Chief , Marguerite Bilodeau Assistant Editor, Florence Dunn ' nort Editor, Mary Sargent HiUiior Editor, M. Beers Prodoci ion Mgr., Evelyn Han sbury Circiilatiofi Mgr., Betty Cushman At the beginning of the third week, our paoer was distributed among the subscribers, and the proceeds col- lected and accounted for. The class wi ' l purchase with this fund a suit- able gift to give to the school. At thf nresent time, the class is studving filing: in suite of the thirty- odd rules we have to learn, we all this woi ' k verv interesting. Credit should he given to the six o-ivlc, -,vho have kent onr school sup- plied with tests, ouizzes, letters, and oi her forms. Those who are in our Commercial Denartment will aeree ' fii ' h me. as thev know the limited time and euuinment with which we work. — M. Bilodeau, ’88. COMMERCIAL NOTES Shorthand I. pHE members of the Shorthand I -L class were introduced to the art of speed writing last September, us- ing the J unio) ' Alanual. After cover- ing all the strokes, brief forms, and principles of writing, we received the Anniversary Manuals from the sec- ond-year class and started a review, studying new material which is not included in the Junior Manual. While building up this foundation of shorthand skill, we have been working for membership in the Order of Gregg Artists. So far, Millard Palm and Ruth Day are the only ones to achieve the 0. G. A. Membership Cei’tificates. The class has started transcribing shorthand notes on the typewriter, each pupil keeping a Sliorthand Transcription Record on which is recorded the noints he earns each week. Leading records for the first period are held by Viola Bailev, 52J 2 points ; Francis Cowdrey, 45 : and B. Bingle, 31. In the second scoring event, the leaders were the same, V. Bailey, 45 ; Betty Bingle, 31 ; F. Cowdrey and M. Perkins tying for third place with 27. On the Road to Shorthand Success posted in Miss Edmondson’s room, the following records appear: 40 words a minute for 1 minute : E. Carter. M. Palm, R. Day, M. Perkins, M. Johnson, J. Crowell, I. Hamilton, B. Bingle, and V. Bailey. 40 words a minute for 2 minutes: B. Bingle, M. Palm, V. Bailey, and I. Hamilton. 40 words a minute for 5 minutes: B. Bingle, M. Palm, and C.

Maxwell Norman, by fhe Hamilton High School students last Memorial Day, Mrs. Mabel Nor- man Cerio of Capri, Italy, has most generously presented the high school with the new curtain equipment for 1he stage in the auditorium. The auditorium is a memorial to Maxwell Norman who made the town of Hamilton a substantial gift for the purpose of erecting a suitable as- remblv hall when a new high school should be erected. In appreciation of ihis gift, the auditorium has been dedicated to Mr. Norman and is known as the MAXWEI-L NORMAN AUDITORIUM. Mrs. Cerio’s gift consists of heavy, dark red front draw-curtains with va lance, three overhead border strips, full length double drop curtain across the rear of the stage, and portieres for four stage door entrances. In addition, she has provided portable foot and flood lights. The School Committee, Faculty, and Pupils of Hamilton High School take this opportunity to express their sincere appreciation and thanks to Mrs. Cerio for her interest in our school and for her kind and generous gift. PLAY EXHIBITION F course, the new stage etjuip- ment just had to be christened! And we did our best to “do it up bi ' own.’’ We held a series of six one act plays. Each of the six grades in the junior and senior high school pre- senting a one act comedy. The three junior high grades pre- sented their plays one night and the three senior high grades presented theirs the following night. 22 The HAMILTONIAN The plays went off well ; all were funny, some hilariously so. The spirit of co-operation was excellent ; and, from remarks overheard in cor- ridors, pupils and teachers enjoyed the frolic. And best of all — a neat little financial sum was gleaned from the.se amateur dramatics which made the adventure most satisfying! You will find detailed reports of the individual plays under their respec- tive classes. MANUAL TRAININCx NEWS PHIS year the shop has been going -1 ahead in rapid strides. The boys who take shop work are now enjoy- ing some new mechanical tools re- cently purchased by the town at the recommendation of the instructor, Mr. Fred Wales. The recent installa- tion of these tools has more than doubled the volume of the shop work and has increased the intere=;t and workmanship of the students. In previous years, because of the lack of tools, the boys were confined to mak- ing simnle nieces of furniture or mis- cellaneous articles. Some of the projects being con- structed by the high school students are maple-butterfly end tables, gun cabinets, corner china closets, ping pong tables, and wall cabinets for power tool accessories and storage. Members of the ninth grade are con- structing “36” class sailing sloops and are at present engaged in castin ■: lead keels in sand moulds. The eighth grade has a_. class of smaller sloops nearly completed ; both grades are expecting to race their boats before long. The seventh grade has made sev- eral projects during the year, and are now engaged in making kitch ' n uti ' - itv shelves. The sixth grade, al- though very limited in shop time, are completing their book ends. Work seems to be progressing very well, and nearly every afternoon finds a large group of boys working on special jobs of their own or helping complete arrangements for the new power tools. The boys are enthusi- astic about these added tools and wish to thank the school officials for obtaining these useful devices. Upon being asked about next year’s plans, Mr. Wales stated, “I am work- ing on arrangements for widening the shop curriculum, including more shop time for the upper classmen, and possibly a special shop course that will meet five times a w ' eek, thus making manual training a five point subject with text book work as well as extensive shop participation. This course would be offered to those stu- dents who wish to specialize in Indus- trial Arts.” In this way, we hope there will be laid a foundation for a future Prac- tical Arts Course. — Ernfst B.

Mc- Garry. S.J., Ph. D., S.T.D., will deliver the commencement address to the senior class on the night of their graduation, June 23, 1938. The topic of his address will be, “The School as the Vestibule of Life.” The Class of 1938 are honored in having Father McGarry as their speaker: and, as he is a native of Hamilton, many old time friends will be pleased to welcome him on June 2:rd. SENIOR PLAY EXHIBITION S their part in the Senior High Play Contest which took place on April 22, 1938, the senior class presented Who Gets the Car Tonight? Those taking part were: George Sprague, head of the Jones family; Isabelle Peale as Mrs, Jones, the mother; Hardy Prince as Paul, the son; and Florence Dunn as Jane, the daughter. Jack, Jane’s boy-friend, was played by Norman Dane. The plot of the story involved the old family problem of who could take the car for the evening This being- such a common family predicament, it held everyone’s interest. The end of the play brought rather a surprise because tinally no one had the privi- lege of taking the car as it was neces- sary for it to remain in the garage for repairs! — Isabelle Peale, ’38. 24 The HAMILTONIAN JUNIOR CLASS PROMENADE J HE Junior Promenade of the Class - of 1939 was held on Friday eve- ning, May 20, 1938, and proved to be a great success. Our class colors, blue and gold, were used in the deco- rations and were arranged in a nau- tical setting, something different from previous decorations. The junior class wishes to take this op- portunity to thank Miss Anderson for her assistance in helping with the decorating. The decorating committee, to whom credit should be extended, consisted of Dorothy Perkins, Evelvn Dodge, Betty Fletcher, Eleanor Thompson, George Harrigan, Ralph Harrigan. Henry Baker, Lester Charles, and Rita Cullity, chairman. At nine o’clock, the march began, with Ralph Harrigan, our president, and Eleanor Thomnson, our secre- tary, in the lead. At the end of the march, the class formed an “H” for Hamilton which was well received by the onlookex’s. Our refreshment committee in- cluded Thomas Millerick, Chairman ; Helen Peters, and Mary Moore ; our checking committee, Gordon McRae, Chairman; Harold Day, and Wendell Day; and our invitation committee, Ruth Cameron, Chairman ; Katherine Mann, Pauline Powers, Patricia Faulkner, and Phyllis Hawkins. All helped to make the evening a success. After the march dancing was en- joyed, conducted by the ever-popular Eugene’s Orchestra. The matrons of the evening were the mothers of the officers: Mrs. George Harrigan, Mrs. L e 1 a n d Thompson, Mrs. Reginald Cameron, and Mrs. Jesse Mann. — Rita Cullity, ’39. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY EXHIBITION O N April 22, 1938, a play exhibition was held in the High School Auditorium in which the members of the junior class presented His First Shave In this one act comedy, we find that Mr. Morton, played by Gordon McRae, is preparing to shave and, with the aid of his wife, the role played by Rita Cullity, has just as- sembled all his paraphernalia. How- ever, his dashing young son, Derek, played by Thomas Millerick, finds that he has a stubble on his face and decides that it is just about time that he learned how to shave. With both men under h r feet. Mrs. Morton concludes that there is no use trying to clean up the kitchen, so she leaves the two in a heated dis- cussion over razors, Derek declaring that the safety razors are the best, and Mr. Morton firmly upholding the old-fashioned straight razor. Derek, fascinat ed by this new cere- mony and annoyed with his kid sis- ter, played by Pauline Powers, who continually calls his beard “peach- fuzz,” forgets that he has a date that very evening with his girl friend, Janet, played by Eleanor Thompson. When she arrives, he is not ready, whereupon she leaves to go out with Derek’s rival. Derek, bitter because he has been jilted by Janet, picks up his father’s old-fashioned razor and raises it to his throat. Thinking that he is going to kill himself, Mrs. Morton screams, and Mr. Morton rushes to Derek’s side. As Mrs. Morton faints, Derek calmly states that he was just going to learn how to use his father’s straight-edged razor ! — Pauline Powers, ’39. The HAMILTONIAN 25 CHEMISTRY D uring the past year, chemistry has proven a very interesting subject to the eleventh and twelfth grades. Regular classes were held one period a day for the week and an extra period was set aside for labora- tory experimental work. Under the guidance of Mr. Payne, we have completed many interesting experiments some of which were : the making of soap, the preparation of dye stuffs, including the dyeing of cloth : and also the flame-test of many elements to determine their color when burned. In the regular class-room periods, we studied many different subjects including gases, minerals, metals, and alloys We also learned many laws and theories, the Ionic and Electron theories being the most important. Everyone has enjoyed a very pleas- ant and interesting year under the guidance of Mr. Payne and we feel sure that the chemistry class, two years from now. will make the same comment. — Thom. s Millerick, ’39. SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES Sophomore English ' T ' HE Sophomore English classes have covered considerable ground both in grammar and in liter- ature this past year. During the first quarter, Mrs. Boyd put us through a never-to-be-forgotten course of grammar review. After this was completed, we started im- mediately on Julius Caesar, a verv inte-’esting five-act drama wriHen by William Shakespeare. Through the study of this play, we learned much ;ibout early Roman history. Next we were introduced to Sir Walter Scott and read his Lady of the Lake. We found that poetry is no more difficult to understand, and in fact, more beautiful than prose. The classes have enjoyed this poem so much and have made such fine note- I.ooks that we intend to put them on exhibition in a short while for our parents and members of the faculty to s ' e. Posters are being made, and tea will be served in the cafeteria af ' erv ards. Before the year is through, we wih have read James Fenimore Cooper’s Last of the Mohicans, a story of early nioneer days in America. The his- lorieal background is the French and Indian War; the setting is around the head waters of the Hudson River and I he adjacent lakes. In addition to this work done by bo ' h divisions, the college prepara- tory students have had book reports which have been due intermittently during the school year. JANE PERKINS, ’40 Sophomore Dramatics N April 22, 1938, a play exhibition J was presented by the members of the senior high school The sopho- more one-act farce was entitled The Cure-AU and it was put over in an excruciatingly humorous manner. The sopohomore class took consid- erable interest in this play contest as was shown by the amount of tickets sold. Their class sui’passed all others in both the senior and junior high in selling tickets; this also helped in making the contest a financial suc- ce ' s Francis Cowdrey portrayed an elderly, eccentric bachelor uncle, Augustus Babbitt, who was alwavs found indulging in a cpiarrel with .• ' u old maid. Aunt Amanda Beakley (Christina Butler), over their patent medicines and some disputed prop- orty. Included in the cast were Ed- ward Wallace, nephew to Augustus, who was in love with Amanda’s niece. Jane Perkins. Robert Chase, a 26 The HAMILTONIAN (lashing young doctor, and Dorothy Thompson, his nurse, added merri- ment to the latter part of the play. At the end of the play we find tha ' Augustus and Amanda have patched up their differences, and are honey- mooning in New York. The honey- moon idea seems to be contagious, for we are informed that the other two young couples have thoughts in the same direction. .JANE PERKINS, ’40 Sophomore Geometry Cl.vss LTHOUGH Mr. Payne doesn’i expect to develop any Einsteins from our present geometry class, he does intend to provide us with a thorough course in plane geometry. In S ' ptemker we found the subj ' ' ' ’’ a very difficult one, but as the year progressed, the students began grad- ually to understand it. After having obtained an idea of the fundamental concepts of geom- etry, the pupils were gradually led into the formal proof by simple out- step exercises. Oral exercises alwavs follow a group of related definitions to illustrate their use. If nothin!? else, geometry has g ' ven ns a splendid course in mental gym- nastics. — Jane Perkins, ’40. Latin Classes p OR over a year we had been anx- iously awaiting our first meeting with Caesar and his Gallic Wa-’T. After learning t hat Gaul was divided into three parts, we started out with Caesar in his interesting encounter with the Helvetians. P ' rom our translations, we have come to the conclusion that Caesar was undoubtedly one of the greatest generals of all time. This can readily be seen from the very beginning of the book in his encounter with the Helvetians. The Helvetians, after three years of preparation, were now on the move with all their possessions bound for the western part of Gaul. Caesar, in an effort to stop the Helvetian horde from entering his province, hastened from Rome to Geneva with one legion and some hastily gathered recruits. He stopped the Helvetians’ march by constructing fortifications between Lake Geneva and the Jural Mountains, thus forcing the Helve- tians to take the only other available route through a pass of the Jural Mountains about eighteen miles be- low Geneva. After returning to Cisal- pine, Gaul, for moi’e troops, Caesar, with five legions, made his way in s ven days into the territory of the Seouanians through which the Helve- tians had jusi- pa.ssed and were now crossing the Arar River. The Tigu- ri ni. a part of the Helvetian forces That had not yet passed, were cut to pieces by Caesar. Caesar built a bridge across the river and pursued the Helvetians, finally subduing them in a battle not far from Bibracte. — E. Wallace, ’40. ATHLETICS GIRLS’ ATHLETIC REPORT W HEN Coach Featherstone called the girls out for basketball, she was pleased to see so many respond. These girls certainly worked hard to make the first team. Fate was against them because they were defeated more times than they won. However, considerable praise is due to the team members for their magnificent co- operation and enthusiasm. The girls who received their first team letters this year were : E. Carter, M. Allen, D. Perkins, M. Sargent, M. Back, E. Dodge, B. Fletcher, M. Bilodeau, manager. The HAMILTONIAN 27 GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY TEAM Reading left to right. Front row: Dorothy McCarthy, Rita Cullity, Mary Dan- forth, Mary Johnson.

Third row: Betty Fletcher, Mary Cullen, Martha Cunningham, Pauline Powers, Madlyn Back, Dora Marks, Bertha Ross, Mary Sargent, Manager. Fourth row: Miss Featherstone, coach; Dorothy Perkins, Evelyn Dodge, Elinor Carter, Margaret Millerick, Lorraine Mitchell. This fall was the first season of our Girls’ Hockey Team. The turn- out for the team was quite satisfying. The girls were very much enthused and anxious to play with the new equipment. There were only three games played, but the game showed definite signs of becoming one of the regular sports of the curriculum. This year, Coach Featherstone is making an ambition of hers a reality. The girls are organizing a baseball team. The success of this experimen ' - depends on the girls who are showing interest now. If they go to practice games and really try, they will soon be playing the girl baseball teams of the surrounding towns. Plans are in progress for the girls to have a Field Day in which they will participate in difl’erent athletic- events such as running, vaulting, throwing, and acrobatic stunts. Each individual will reap definite credits along with the other credits such as, being on the honor roll, and being on the winning teams of the inter-mural sports. The winners of each event will receive credit toward the sport seal. 28 The HAMILTONIAN BOVS ' BASEBALL TEAM Reading left to right. Front row; Ralph Harrigan, Henry Baker.

BOYS’ ATHLETIC REPORT BASEBALL PRACTICE A LTHOUGH we had no baseball team last year because of appar- ent lack of interest by the students, the sport is being resumed this year ; and hopes are high for a winning season. The players were chosen for the nine positions on the basis of their showings in the inter-class games played earlier this season. Each of the upper four classes had its base- l.all team, and games were played with the other three teams. The juniors were victorious in the tourna- ment, winning all of the games and defeating the seniors for the final championship. E’O ' ht games have already been scheduled for the varsity, with two open days. We regret not being able to have the scores for all of the games. As ' the Hamiltonian goes to press before the season will be completed, it is impossible to give the scores. However, here is the schedule. Games Date Hamilton vs. Ipswich (Home) May 13 Hamilton vs. Hamilton vs. St. John’s St. John ' s May 17 ( Home ) May 20 Hamilton vs. Ipswich May 24 Open May 27 H.unilto.i v.s. Rockport May 31 Hamilton vs. Essex June I Hamilton vs. Rockport Home June 3 Hamilton vs. Essex ( Home ) June 6 Open June 7 Scores Ham. Opp. I 5 The HAMILTONIAN 29 The junior high is also having a baseball team this year; and, up to date, four games have been sched- uled, two with Wenham and two with Topsfield. We would give you the dates for these games if it were not for the fact that they are “subject to change without notice.” r HIS year the football team of Hamilton High was lighter than in previous years, but more evenly balanced. The season was opened with a win over St. John’s High of Danvers which seemed to forecast a successful season. Such was not the case, however, for the team went to defeat in the remaining games.

As all of the events have not been concluded, the winners are un- certain as yet; but it is highly prob- able that one of last year’s champions may repeat his triumph. For those in doubt as to what a decathalon really is, or consists of, we wish to say that it is an athletic contest made up of ten different events. In this case they are : 1. Push Ups 2. Chin the Bar 3. Standing Broad Jump 4. Running Broad Jump 5. High Jump 6. Baseball Throw (Soft Ball) 7. 50- Yard Dash 8. Half Levers 9. Free Throws (Basketball) 10. Shot Put The winners in the three classes, junior, intermediate, and senior are decided by the sum total of points each has received in the whole decathelon. 30 The HAMILTONIAN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOI - CLASS OF 1038 Keadins left to risht.

F ' ifth row: Richard O ' Leary, Robert Kirby, Robert Child, Henry Jackson Jr., Francis Carter, William Goodhue JUNIOR HIGH DEPARTMENT JUNIOR HIGH DEPARTMENT CLASS ACTIVITIES OF GRADE IX A MONG the most interesting works of literature studied in English this year were the delightful poem, The Ancient Mariner by Samuel Tay- lor Coleridge, and the popular drama, William Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. The latter at first seemed a little difficult, but proved very inter- esting and was certainly worth the time we spent on it. We also studied The Void Bug, written by Edgar Allan Poe. We agree with many critics that this is one of the best mysteries among the classics. Our most recent study, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, has proved to be the favorite story of the year; and it is quite certain that Long John Silver and Jim are special friends of the class. We had several other short stories which acfiuainted us with popular authors of classic literature. The HAMILTONIAN 31 The different phases of grammar work accomplished during this year included the uses of the infinitive, the participle, and the gerund. In addition, we have had correct usage drill, a review of the analysis of the three types of sentences, punctuation, and business letter writing. Book re- ports have also been regularly as- signed. Written compositions, including essays, editorials, and personal ex- periences have also been a part of our course of study. We have had sev- eral plots of stories to work on, and most of the pupils have written some excellent themes. Latin has proved to be a most in- teresting subject. In addition to helping in sentence structure in Eng- lish, it has also been of value in spell- ing. We have arrived at the fourth conjugation in the present, past pro- gressive, and future tenses, and have mastered first, second, and third de- clension nouns. Mr. Malone tells us there is much more we must acco’ - TDlish. “Faber est quisque suae nos- teriates.” (Each one is the architect of his own future.) At first Algebra seemed difficult, Imt as we look back over our work, we can see that we have learned much about the unknown quantitv, X-Y-7. Having recently learned the differ- ence between ratio and proportion, we are now trying to conquer souare root with coefficients. For the girls, the arrival of spring has brought our out-door sports. They are hopeful of having a team in baseball this year, and are planning to practice after school in good weather. Miss Featherstone has pro- posed a Field Day for June 9. Each contestant will go out for one team, such as volley-ball, or baseball, be- sides two individual events, with a choice of dash, broad jump, or base- ball throw. Although this is not com- pulsory, it is expected that the ninth grade girls will participate enthusi- astically. The projects in sewing this year consisted in making dresses or skirts, aprons, a Christmas gift of our own choice, and a piece of fancy work. On June 15th, the girls will have a fashion show when they will display their accomplishments in sew- ing. Cooking has consisted of reviews on pastries, doughs, desserts, salads, and fancy sandwiches. We shall look back on our days in Hamilton Junior High with pleasure and satisfaction ; and we hope that the future may be equally enjoyable and profitable. — M.4RGARET GooDHUE, Grade IX. THE NINTH GRADE COMMERCIAL DIVISION “PHIS year in Junior Business, we have made four notebooks, the first of which was on the meaning of business and the different types of ownei’ship. When we came to the sec- ond unit, we used the Directed Study method, dividing the class into three groups, each taking a different topic in transportation. The group leaders conducted the class discussions an d gave tests. Miss Edmondson giving them full charge. This method was (juite successful and the class made much progress in ihe subject. The third notebook was on banking, ac- quainting us with business forms used in finance so that when we take up bookkeeping we shall be able to progress more rapidly. Our present project is based on thrift. We are making budgets, and keeping person- al and family income and expense rec- ords. For work on our penmanship bud- get.=, we divided the class into two teams. Each group has worked very diligently to suri)ass the other in hav- ing the most papers approved. The teams were the Scribes, with J. Balc- er as captain, and the Writers w ' Ti R. Marks captain. The winners were the Writers, who had 91 approved 32 The hiAMIL IONIAN papers to the Scribes’ 61, a margin of 30 papers. The following pupils had all the papers in Budget II ap- proved. G. Elario of the Scribes; and U. McCarthy, M. Stelline, E. To- by ne, and M. Putnam, of the Wrilers. This year Miss Edmondson intro- duced a national monthly contest, the Business Education World Projects for Business Training conducted by Milton Briggs. Those receiving cer- tihcates and gold seals were : M. Stel- line, 6; E. Tobyne, 4; L. Wilson, 4; E. Day, 4; E. Perkins, 3; J. Baker, 2; M. Putnam, 1 ; F. Hedin, 1 ; O. Hedin, 1 ; and V. Frederick, 1. In Commercial Arithmetic we have covered much ground having studied interest. Financial Statements, and many other topics which are very necessary to a successful business man. At the beginning of the second half of the year the School Committee purchased new Junior Business books called Our Business Life. Because of the many colored illustrations, projects, spelling words, and easily understood explanations, these texts have sneeded un our work immensely. Our class wishes to thank the Com- mittee for these excellent books. We tried to keep them as neat as possi- ble, and we hope that other classes will also show their gratitude by do- ing the same. — Elliott Perkins, ’41. ADMIRABLE QUALITIES OF CHARACTER OVERY man and woman has par- ticular qualities of character which make for individuality. In a woman, people like to find kindness, friendliness, grace and gen- erosity. You have, no doubt, noticed the popular woman is not recognized by her harshness, clumsiness or any negative qualities. Can you. girls, honestly answer in the affirmative to the following ciuestions? Am I hon- est? Am I sincere and friendly? Can I be trusted — no matter what the circumstances? Have I poise and charm, rather than awkward man- ners and a harsh voice? Some women who think they are superior to others are “catty” and sharp ; therefore, they do not make friends easily. Is this your case? In a man, one expects to find cour- tesy, honesty, generosity, firmness, ambition, and other qualities which belong to all men and boys and make for manliness. It should be the aim of all boys and girls to develop admirable traits of character during schooldays, that their generation may have a person- nel of which it may be proud. — Jennie Ross, Grade IX. Boys and girls of Hamilton High : What a sad state the sports are in in this school ! Where are all our school spirited boys and girls? When the boys go out for practice for a sport, they do it because they have to, not because they want to. No wonder we aren’t successful in sports. I feel that the new baseball sys- tem might be a success if the fellows practiced wholeheartedly and the girls came out to games to cheer them. I know the coach would like to hear everyone say, “I’ll do my part.” What do you say, fellows and girls, let’s start, and staiT now ! Harnesfly yours, Merrill Smallwood, Grade IX. AMERICAN GOVERNMENT ESSAY CONTEST UCH interest was shown in the annual Government Sneaking contest snonsored by Mr. Elbride-e Anderson of Wenham. Hamilton was represented by Bet- tv Emenev, Dona ' d Sanford. Miidre Putnam, John Perk’ns, and J ' hn Wal- lace. The HAMILTONIAN 33 The third prize was awarded to John Perkins who spoke on The Rati- fication of the Constitution. Mildred Putnam, who took The Critical Period as her topic, received the fifth prize. I N the Annual School Poster Con- test conducted bv the Massachusetts Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the following members of the Junior High School won prizes Dana Perkins, the first prize, a bronze medal with blue ribbon ; John Perkins, the second prize, a bronze medal with red ribbon ; Donald Sanford, honorable men- tion, a year’s subscription to Our Dumb Animals. MY BOTTOM DRAWER A J Y bottom drawer — what a sight! I clean it every Satur- day, but on the following Monday, when I start hurrying to school, out goes everything; then back again — all in a heap, and once again it is cluttered with “do-dads.” It is a most convenient place to chuck all my secrets and hobbies. One week it’s sea-shells, the next week stamps, then buttons, pins, and on it goes till I become discouraged and dump everything out to start anew. In my opinion, a bottom drawer should be exceptionally large and vanish into thin air when cleaning time comes ’round ! Do you, too, have an unsightly bot- tom drawer that haunts you on Sat- urday morning? — Claire Riendeau, Grade VIII. SUMMARY OF ENGLISH T TNDER the supervision of our English teacher. Miss Ready, the eighth grade has had careful training in many things. At the beginning of the year, we started reviewing what we had been taught the previous year. This we enjoyed as it was familiar to us. After studying adjective and ad- verbial clauses, correct usage, the construction of sentences, and our old familiar diagraming, we then spent considerable time on noun clauses and participles. Then, to vary the course, we be- gan to concentrate on literature. Our first story. The Masque of the Red Death, was very interesting. We had short stories such as The Thundering Herd, Coahj-Baij, The Outlaw Horse, and The Message to Garcia, and sev- eral poems among which were. The Highwayman, The Deacon’s Master- piece, and John Gilpin’s Ride. Following a short interval of gram- mar study, we began the somewhat humorous story. Rip Van Winkle. This completed, we took up the story of Dickens’ Christmas Carol. After Christmas vacation, we began the somewhat .sad, yet i-omantic poem, Evangeline. Much time was spent on this story, during which notebooks were kept, and a contest was held to see who could bring in the most pictures ac- curately illustrating the story. We are now spending time on a letter writing project which will prove invaluable to us in the future. — Claire Riendeau, Grade VIII. 34 The hiAMILTONIAN SEVENTH GRADE ENGLISH j ' HE class has studied several in- terestir.g stories in connection with literature this year, among which The Legend of Sleepy HoUoiv, The Great Stone Face, The Courtship of Miles Stand ish. The Descent into the Maelstrom, Moti Guj-Mutineer, iind King Arthur Stories were most interesting. We had questions to an- swer which helped us to use good sentences, as well as to read with a purpose. The class learned about analyzing and diagraming both simple and complex sentences. Con- siderable time was spent in learning to improve compound and sim- ple sentences and to make choppy stories smooth. The class also learned to write a social and business letter and to ad- dress the envelope correctly. We are now learning how to tell oral stories in class. For our subjects we have been choosing interesting stories we have read either in class or at home. This practice puts us on our guard for correct use of gram- mar. — Donald Duclow, Grade VII. IN MEMORIAM Th h deep regret, Hamilton His li recall? the loss, durinjj the ’ ’ last summer vacation, of one of its outstanding students. We feel that botli his classmates and tlie school suffered a great loss when Gordon Chittick was called to the Great Heyond. d ' he youth, a most promising student and a prospecti e sopho- more, was stricken with a sudden and unusual illness and died at the Heverly Hospital within a few days. A large numher of friends attended the services which were held in Christ Church, on .Ashury Street. The altar and choir loft were covered hy enormous hanks of flowers sent hy the various mourners as an expression of their sympatlu for the bereaved family. An outstanding boy, a brilliant pupil, and always an honor student, Gordon was very well liked and highly thought of by both tlie faculty and the student body. The loss suffered by his many triends at his passing-on cannot he put into words. - — Gordon ' McR.ae, ’39.
