I I 1 i i i THE HAMILTONIAN 1952 HAMILTON HIOH SCHOOL SO. HAMILTON MASS. A year is just a period of time in our lives. Each year has three hundred and sixty-five days given equally to all. Yet some years are much more significant than others. Toddling to school as first graders marks a milestone in our lives; and certainly, marching forward as happy, hopeful Seniors to receive our diplomas at graduation from High School marks another. Accomplishment is always a characteristic of a signifi- cant year. As Seniors we like to believe we have accomplished much of the tasks that will make our lives worthwhile. For this we are indebted to our parents and townspeople, who have sacrificed to make these achievements possible; to our teachers, who have competently guided us toward our goals; and to our classmates, who have cushioned the falls through friendship and humor. If years are valued by their sense of work well done, we should go on making the moments count, that we may be found worthy of all that has been provided for us. We, as Seniors, look back over our school years and proudly view them as a mission well and happily accomplished. May the years that lie ahead be as significant in quality for us as this year that is now closing, and may we find satisfaction for ourselves by planning future missions through lives of service to our fellowmen. mmrn During his years at Hamilton High School he has earned our utmost admiration and respect as a coach, teacher, and friend. In order to show our appreciation for the manner in which he has guided us towards accomplishing our missions, we the members of the yearbook staff dedicate our ’52 edition of The Hamilitonian to Mr. Wilton J. Moyer.

The members of the Art Club are aided in de- veloping their talents, so that they can express originality, creativeness, and a knowledge of various art mediums in their “masterpieces.” In studying the application of art principles to daily living at home and in the community, the members have been exposed to good teaching in regard to lettering, architecture, posters, figure sketching, design and color, advertising layout and fashion, landscapes, and many other interesting units of work. Those who have partici- pated in this activity are: Raymond Jones, Patty Foster, Pat McDonald, Susan McKenzie, Shirley Trepanier, Janet MacDonald, Donald Edmondson, Robert Regan, Thomas Haraden, Ernest Tozier, Kenneth Morrison, Albert Edmondson, Robert Walsh, Edward Hopping, Franklyn Johnson, Sylvia Thebodeault, Dorothy Caley, Donald Tree, Fred Roberts, Roberta Tremblay, Helen Cronk. 38 First Row: Margaret Cullinaine, Alberta Bryant, Claire Leger, Donna Gauthier, Advisor Mr. Johnson, Margaret Counihan, Barbara Nickerson, Kristen Lundgren.

Luther Johnson, met every Tuesday afternoon during activity period. The 22 girl voices made only one public appearance at a Christmas Assembly where they sang “Angels’ Voices” and “White Christmas.” Most of the girls, together with Mr. Johnson, journeyed to Symphony Hall in Boston on January 25, 1952 to hear the New England Philharmonic Orchestra. Needless to say, the trip proved most enlightening and enjoyable. Next year a majority of girls will return to the Junior High Glee Club, but some will graduate to the senior group. The entire group has enjoyed a fascinating year of singing and will be sorry to have the activity come to a close in June. 39 The Glee Club, made up of 37 girls and 14 boys this year, followed through their usual routine programs, starting with the Christmas Assembly. The Christmas program included the singing of such favorite songs as “jesu Bambino’’, “Deck the Halls”, and “White Christmas”. The French class sang two traditional French Christmas folk songs, and the Latin class sang “Adeste Fideles” in Latin. Johnstone Geikie and Miss Austen played Bach’s chorale, “Gesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”. Interspersed among the musical numbers, members of the Public Speaking Activity-David Geikie, Barbara and Eddie Liscomb-gave short readings. The whole school closed the program by singing their favorite carols, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, “O Little Town of Bethlehem”, and “Silent Night”. Philip Maione acted as Master of Ceremonies by announcing all numbers and introducing the performers. The next important appearance of the Glee Club was the annual broad- cast on behalf of the “March of Dimes” in January. As guest of Mr. Dan Harrington again the large group of girl singers traveled to the studio of WLAW in Lawrence. The guest speaker was Mr. John Whittier of Wenham. As in past years, the girls sang a half hour program with the assistance of Johnstone Geikie, Sylvia Humphrey, and Miss Austen as soloists; but this year the program was tape-recorded and played the next evening at 6:30. Hence, all participants had a chance to hear themselves perform-a new thrill. From February first to April 24, all efforts were centered on the pro- duction of Gilbert and Sullivan’s famous operetta, “Mikado”. The leads proved themselves well-chosen. Maurice Sabean carried the important part of Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner. Nancy Dodge was Yum-Yum, and Wayne Gauthier, her devoted lover, Nanki-Poo. Roger Washburn, as Pooh-Bah, performed his many offices with dignity and long words. Lloyd Cann, as Pish-Tush, and Betty Walke and Janice Blenkhorn, as Peep-Bo and Pitti-Sing respectively, gave excellent support to the principals. Finally, Robert Ricker gave the crowning touch of royalty in his impersonation of the Mikado together with his remarkable companion, Katisha, plated by Natalie Stone. 40 Front: Johnstone Geikie, Pianist; Miss Austin, Director.

Much pleasure and interest were derived from our studies during the Public Speaking V ' ctivity Period. Under the instruction of our capable leader. Miss Anderson, we were taught many fine things about public speaking such as poise, diction, breathing, pronunciation, enunciation, choice of words, and friendly criticism of each others work. Miss Austen, the supervisor of the glee club, asked the members to par- ticipate in the Christmas assembly. We all accepted this offer and we were thrilled by the opportunity presented to us. During an assembly held about the middle of January, an interesting im- promptu speech explaining why everyone should contribute to the March of Dimes was made by Barbara Liscomb. In February, Mr. Moyer asked three members to take part in a nation wide oratorical contest. They were Johnstone Geikie, Barbara Liscomb, and Edmund Liscomb. Although none of these aspirants won the contest, Johnstone finished with high honor. 4 First Row: Richard Morris, Donald Lightbody, Sandra Higgins, Advisor Mr. Armstrong, David Tillson, Lawrence Smith, Peter Tillson.

The Sports Club is interested first in the rules and ethics of sports in general, both major and minor. Its program is intended not only for the athlete or future athlete, but to the spectator as well, whether boy or girl. We in the club believe the spectator will get greater enjoyment from watching any sport if he has a better understanding of the finer points of the game, and the techniques involved. With that in mind we try to look at all sports, both amateur and pro- fessional. The emphasis is on the sport that is seasonal. While the club gives most attention to football, basketball, and baseball, the members’ favorite sports in the minor field come in for attention. We have found movies of college football and major league baseball to be most enjoyable and informative. Discussions, demonstrations, quiz programs, and other activities have created fresh interest in sports for the members. 44 ! i i i fl Left to Right; Sandra Clock, Dorothy Appleton, Advisor Miss Priscilla McKay, Deborah Smith, Richard Stillings. The purpose of this activity is to emphasize the importance of knowing how to study and to develop good reading habits. The material used is clearly intended to stimulate interest in reading; and from that point moves to an attack on such phrases of reading as improvement in rate, knowledge of word meaning, use of the dictionary, grasp of organization, visualization of what is read and appreciation of emotional elements in reading sections. 45 First Row: Robert Gates, Maurice Sabean, Donald Grant.

To accommodate those students who were not able to fix a regular typing period into their already full schedule, an activity period entitled Personal Typing was offered. During the time alotted to the class, the participants became familiar with the typewriter, learned the keyboard, and worked to in- crease their individual speed and accuracy. This activity will prove most helpful to those pupils who are preparing for college, since some time was devoted to the practicing of arranging the “term papers” and “theses.” The pupils also did some composing directly to the machine, thus saving the time of copying from handwritten notes. The only regret of the group was that more time was not available for using the “fascinating machine.” 46 Left to Right: Robert McFarland, Robert Morrison, Charles Gauthier, Douglas Woodman, John Neary, Advisor Mr. Marshall Gero, Raymond Whipple, Larry Foote, Michael Barry. The problem of allowing all boys who desired a class in woodworking was partially solved when an activity period in the “shop” was scheduled. On Tuesday afternoons, the boys who chose this as an activity, could learn how to use the various tools and machines, plan projects, and make or repair household articles. This experience gathered while working around the various machines will prove more valuable to the boys in their later life. 47 First Row: Wayne Gauthier, Shirley Semons, Arthur Trepanier, Roger Washburn, Advisor Mrs. Ramer, Maurice Sabean, Betty Walke, Robert Gates.

Our first event this year was a supper, followed by an entertainment and a dance. The affair proved most successful and encouraged us to sponsor future projects for an enjoyable and profitable year. During our Christmas vacation we had a paper drive, which, through the efforts of the boys and contributions of the town’s people, netted us a small profit to increase our dollars. Later in the year the Varsity Club held two basketball games at the Carmelite Junior Seminary Gymnasium. A game between our Varsity team and the Carmelite Junior Varsity ended in a loss for Hamilton High. The pre- liminary game of the Hamilton Junior Varsity versus “Their Dads was most entertaining. While the boys displayed their youthful agility, the fathers limbered up their rusty joints and what happened? The game resulted in a win for the older generation! No excuses J. V.’s! After checking over our financial situation, we found we were able to pay off our $100 debt, our assessment toward athletic equipment for this year. Our hard work, earning money to help purchase this equipment, we felt was rewarded as both boys and girls’ athletic teams took many wins during the field hockey, football, and basketball seasons. We hope the baseball nine keep up the old fight. We are especially proud of our football team for they captured the Massachusetts Six-Man Football Team Championship for 1951. Congratulations, Team and Coach Moyer, for your fine work. Here s hoping that this title re- mains at Hamilton High in future years!

They were undefeated in eight games and became the first champs of the newly formed Massachusetts Six- Man Football League, receiving a beautiful gold trophy for their herculean efforts. Many records went by the boards during this season, both offensive and defensive, which is a rarity for any team. The old record of a one-game total of 67 points was smashed in a surprising 75-13 victory over arch-rival Manchester . The average of 55 points per game this year broke the old record of 47. Also the season’s total of 446 points offensively while only allowing 72 defensively, or only 9 per game, were also record-breakers. All these records, incidentally, were previously held by the undefeated Hamilton team of 1948. Our team truly achieved the championship through team work. Each victory came, not through the efforts of one, two, or even three men, but the team as a whole. Of course, all the victories were well- deserved, but the most exciting and surprising victory was over Manchester. Hamilton entered the game tied for first place and were a two-touchdown favorite; but, when the game was over, Hamilton had won by the lopsided score of 75-13, the worst defeat ever for Story High of Manchester. After the season was over, a banquet was held and the trophy presented. The players received squad pictures and miniature gold footballs, and the season was officially over. The team is losing seven players through graduation. These are Stan Gusoski, the leading scorer of the state. Captain Mossie Sabean, Roger Washburn, Ed Rauscher, Don Grant, Bob Gates, and Bob Ricker. Though these boys will be missed, the school is looking to veterans Ted Johnson, Wayne Gauthier, and Bob Henley to spark the younger, more inexperienced players, to another state championship in 1952. 52 r ' irfoH Ho t First Row; Nanette Lander, Diane Crowley.

This year, for the first time, the Senior High Cheerleaders were faced with a great deal of competition, as a group of eight grade girls- Diane Crowley, Francis Donlon, Nanette Lander, Margery Ricker, and Mary Walke formed a Junior High Cheering Squad. This young group really surprised everybody as they turned out to be a superb group of cheerleaders, despite the fact that they had no instructor. It took a lot of cooperation and practice for these girls to make up new and different cheers, however, the spirit which they aroused was proof of a job well done. The youthful cheerleaders looked quite slick with the 1950 cheering uniforms which they borrowed from previous “howlers”. Football season passed quickly and the cheerleaders must have been quite an inspiration as the Junior High Football Team only lost one game. Basket- ball season was just as exciting, as the team only lost two games. 54 First Row; Co-Captain Betty Walke, Co-Captain Janice Blenkhorn.

Victory, victory, H. H. S. Natalie Stone, Angie Dagresta, Joan Benfield, Betty Henley, Shirley Semons, Ann Leblanc, and Nancy Dodge were all elected to the squad under the super- vision of the co-captains, Betty Walke and Janice Blenkhorn. The girls cheered their boys on to victory and also acted as hostesses to the opponent teams. They like to believe they helped the boys win the football championship and place second in the Cape Ann Basketball League. Yes, the cheering season of ’51-’52 was exciting as well as successful, and the graduating girls hope that the years to come will prove to be just as enjoyable. We wish you luck, fun, and many victories.

I 56 } With the publishing of the announcement “Basketball practice for girls will be held every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.”, the female athletes began to bubble with enthusiasm. Everyone was talking about the games she liked to play best, and what position she was going out for. Approximately thirty girls showed up for the first practice, and after careful consideration Mrs. Houle selected twenty-six girls to carry the ball for H. H. S. These twenty-six girls participated in their first game with the Alumnae, losing a hard-fought battle to our old schoolmates by one point. We played our first official game with Rockport on our own floor and were quite pleased to win by two points in the last three seconds of the game. With three victories to our credit, Ipswich journeyed over to Hamilton to try to beat us, which they did by two points. However, the tables turned when we traveled to Ipswich, where they were defeated by one point. This was the most exciting game of the year to us, because we know most all of our opponents and enjoyed beating them immensely. High scorer for this year was Natalee Stone with 126 points, closely followed by Barbara Liscomb with 115 points; Betty Walke and Janice Blenkhorn, 15. The team scored 333 points for the season. We had many good times this year playing all our games, and we es- pecially enjoyed our trip to Cambridge School in Weston, where we met lots of new friends and were treated to a luncheon. The girls are looking forward to a successful ’53 season, despite the fact that seven of the lettermen are graduating- -Natalee Stone, Angie Dagresta, Elaine Moad, Betty Walke, Janice Blenkhorn, Joan Benfield, and Judy Bennett. The manager of the team was Ann LeBlanc with Priscilla Holmes as her assistant. First Row: Thomas Sinkiewicz, John Howard, Fredrick Proctor, Peter Thimmer, York Semons.

The first activity in which all classes participated was the election of officers. Those students honored by their fellow classmates were: Squadron seven President--Janet Smerage Vice President- -Jean Kennedy Secretary --Elliot Millett Treasurer--Alan MacCurrach Squadron eight President--Fred Proctor Vice-President--John Hurd Secretary--Robert Morrison Treasurer--Charles Dolliver Squadron nine President --Raymond Whipple Vice President- -Walter Buzzell Secretary-- James Trussell Treasurer--Elaine Titus Squadron ten President- -Thomas Cullen Secretary- -Donald Lightbody Treasurer- -Robert Dodge Squadron eleven President--Ted Johnson Vice President--Clarence Trepanier Secretary--Shirley Semons Treasurer--Wayne Gauthier Squadron twelve President --Roger Washburn Vice President--Maurice Sabean Secretary--Ruth Crowell Treasurer--Donald Grant When the first “report of actions” rolled around, the twelfth squadron was on top with seven members having attained the average of eighty-five or above in every subject. However, the second marking period, the seventh division took over the honors, much to the chagrin of the seniors. Perhaps the most victorious flight of the whole year was the football season. Under the very able leadership of head-pilot, coach Wilton J. Moyer, our boys won every game, and were awarded the championship trophy for six- man football in Eastern Massachusetts. To give these ambitious fellows extra courage and inspiration the cheer- leaders were organized with Janice Blenkhorn and Betty Walke as co-captains. The girls also made us proud when the field hockey season burst forth and their 63 lusty voices could be heard rolling over the fields. With the cold weather, all flights were grounded, and it was necessary to find indoor activity. The first sport to interest our student body was basket- ball. All the players did a fine job, especially since they were forced to play many games in an unfamiliar gym, due to the fact that about half way through the season, our own gym was no longer usable. The contractors began working on the new gym, cafeteria, and additional classrooms. This certainly will be a great improvement, and everyone is anxious for next September to come so he can see and use the finished product. In order to raise money for various flight activities, the tenth squadron sponsored a movie, “Corregidor.” while the eleventh sold refreshments at the skating rink, and held a paper drive. The twelfth squadron sold Christmas cards, wrappings, and other accessories, and also held a food sale. All the money-raising endeavors proved very successful. As usual, the school held its annual magazine drive with Natalee Stone acting as student manager and Miss L. L. Volk as the faculty manager. The school was proud to award Phyllis Smerage a trophy in appreciation of her fine job as salesman. The candidates for Good Government Day were Janet Pariseau, Janice Blenkhorn, Roger Washburn, and Maurice Sabean. They all delivered very fine speeches at one of our winter assemblies and made many fine campaign promises. Another excellent function of the year was the oratorical contest which was the first testing ground for speeches for the American Legion Oratorical Contest. The participating pilots were Johnstone Geikie, Shirley Semons, Janet Pariseau, Janice Blenkhorn, Barbara Liscomb, Ed Liscomb, and Glen Cook. Shirley Semons was selected as the winner of the try-out. Later, Shirley went to Lawrence to take part in the oratorical finals contest and won second prize. Needless to say, everyone was very proud of her. During February, our Commanding Officer, Mr. Blanchard announced the candidates for Boys’ State: Clarence Trepanier and Ted Johnson. The three most outstanding members of the senior class were selected by the faculty to deliver the graduation speeches. Congratulations to Natalie Stone, Maurice Sabean, and Ruth Crowell - truly fine representatives of the class of 1952. All of the senior pilots have been very busy ever since September working on the year book. Under the able leadership of co-editors Roger Washburn and Ruth Crowell, and under the pressure from our advisor. Miss Volk, the book will soon go to press. As another flight of our great mission at Hamilton High School draws to a close, we, the new pilots from the seventh grade right up to the old ones of the twelfth, are happy and proud to say that this has been a very exciting, profitable, and successful year. 65 SOUTH PACIFIC PATROL by Donald Grant The patrol boat was about an hour out of Dolomakus Bay and the crew was late in getting to their patrol area due to trouble with the center engine which had held them up an hour. Jesse, the chief engineer, climbed out of the engine room and reported that the faulty engine was still white hot. He assured the crew that it was going to run. Jesse was scared of the water but he knew his engines. Out on the deck it was cool compared to the closeness of the engine room. The radar sweep was still going around, its fluorescent minute hand iighting briefly the land before us; then blanking out into the sea. The concentric circles of distance showed the nearest land two and a half miles... two and a quarter miles... two miles. The skipper gave instructions to keep the boat a mile off shore. The first run was uneventful; they moved eight miles up the bay and not a target was seen. The stand-by order was given on the return trip at 2300. Just four and a half more hours of patrol. A few minutes after midnight, the skipper gave the order to move in to a quarter of a mile from shore on the next run. They had to find that Jap somewhere or else come out again tomorrow night. The radar man was just beginning to get impatient when there it was--as big as life on the radar screen! He could tell it was a plane by the way it was traveling. It had come five miles closer already since he had spotted it. He gave the bearing over the inter-communication system and then the crew stood by for the first run. This was the worst part- -the waiting! You didn’t know if he was looking for you or if he knew where you were. Would he come diving in all ' of a sudden for the kill? They kept waiting and he finally passed over. Then they pro- ceeded to follow him toward the beach. The Japs continued over the land but they knew they weren’t through yet. At 0030 they knew they had been discovered. Two lights were blinking at each other on the shore. By now half a dozen pairs of eyes were sweeping the water with binoculars looking for us. The men on the patrol boat waited for what seemed like hours before the plane returned. Just at that instant the radar set went dead. All of a sudden the plane was just off the port bow and came straight at them. Suddenly the boat recoiled; the 40 M M had let go on the bow and following it came stacatto cracks of the 50’s. The men below deck could almost follow the flight of the plane by the bark of the guns. Suddenly the radio man was rocked off his stool and onto the floor. The light went off and the radio stopped. Top side just one 50 stuttered on; then that stopped. They knew they had been hit but not badly; the boat continued on. When the radioman went topside everyone looked dazed; they had gotten the Jap, but his bomb had just missed the boat. Petrovic, the bow gunner, reported that no one had been hit and everyone was beginning to feel pretty ‘good.” The mission was over and they were looking forward to returning to the base. Suddenly someone noticed that Jesse Henderson wasn’t on deck. They went down in the engine room and found him wounded. Jesse and the radioman had been the only ones below deck when the bomb fell. He had been wounded in the right leg; the numbness hadn’t worn off yet and he felt no pain. His hip was ripped open as if by an ax; the bone was white and splintered and stood open in the moonlight. His blood was already making the deck slippery. They laid him in the life raft with a blanket over him. The night was hot but he began to shake; the shot of morphine seemed to have no effect at all. 67 The engines were turned on full speed and they headed for home. At 0200 when the radioman checked on Jesse, he wanted to know how badly he was hurt. He said he couldn’t feel a thing. Someone came up with yards of cloth to stuff in the open wound. The problem at the moment was to stop the flow of blood. The skipper gave instructions to have someone contact the base and have help meet them half way out. They couldn’t get anyone, however, and finally gave up. By now the sea was getting rough and Jesse’s pain was almost unbearable. He wouldn’t last long at that rate. At 0410 the motor mack on duty reported that there was a foot of gas in the bilges. The bomb had shattered the starboard gas tank. The smoking lamp was out and nobody felt like smoking with 900 gallons of gas under them. By 0445 the point where we had radio help to meet us came into view, but there was no rescue boat there. They quickly headed for the base and an hour and ten minutes later, they were approaching the island. Everyone now turned his thoughts towards Jess. If he could only hold on ten more minutes they would be at the dock. But all of a sudden his chest wasn’t rising and falling under the blanket and they knew it was too late. There was no hurry now and they slowed the boat down in the now still water. They signaled the base to have an ambulance ready for Jesse and that the mission was complete. After they docked, the radioman completed the log. He wrote: 0555 Henderson, Jesse A., died from wounds sustained in action. Log completed this day, February 14, 1944. “The Trials and Tribulations of Girlhood’’ By Judith Davis ’52 Everything has its ups and downs, but being a girl is worse and presents more problems than being a boy. Our troubles begin when we are quite young. When we are first born, our lucky parents must think of some simply adorable and different name to hang on us, which, as soon as we are old enough to think about it, we absolutely abhor! As we grow older and attain the exciting age of ten or eleven, we see the boys climbing trees and playing baseball and we are told that, as much as we want to do the same things, nice little girls don’t climb and romp and act like tom-boys. We must, at all times, act like a lady!! We must sit primly by and watch the boys have all the fun. We must learn to cook and sew. We must keep our room and clothes tidy- -as well as we can with sweet little brothers around. Then we reach the “glorious’’ teens. We are now no longer children. We are almost rown up, except when we want to do something more grown up; then we are “too young.’’ In our teens we begin to discover boys. Oh, we knew they existed before, but we just couldn’t figure out why! We also discover that they are discov- ering us- -they tweak our hair, throw spit-balls at us, and so on; then they try to “butter us up” so that they can borrow our homework. As we begin to see and meet all of the different kinds and types of boys, we begin to pick and choose among them. This creates a new problem because usually the boy we choose has chosen someone else, and the one who has chosen us--well, he just isn’t our type. Then, we find one of these strange creatures who, we just know, is “the one.” When HE enters the room, our heart pounds and palpitates, our mouth goes dry, and our knees get weak, then we go into a sort of trance known as a swoon. This is called our first crush. We wander home, half flying and half floating, as excited as a puppy with a new found bone twice his size, and tell our parents. They, too, are excited, (ha- ha) They give us a great deal of encouragement. Mother says, “Don’t worry about it, dear, you’ll get over it soon and forget all about him.” So encouraging! The Hamiltonian 69 When we really get a crush on “that boy,” our entire life is turned topsy- turvy. We suddenly find that we just don’t feel like eating anymore. Nothing seems to taste like it used to taste. Everything has a flavor which is similar to everything else. (It all tastes like so much soap.) We would much prefer staring blankly into space to eating. We also discover that we have attained the ability to lie in bed at night for hour after hour without sleeping. Our minds wander from “him” to “him.” We dream of the future and our dreams, (which we know in our sub-conscious mind will never come true) are all of an exceedingly romatic nature. The oddest part of our crush is that when we get over it, and our hearts are immendably broken (until the next boy comes along, at which time it mends itself immediately,) we look at him and ask ourselves in a quizzical manner, “What on earth did I ever see in him ? He has the physique of a scarecrow, and the good-looks of a mole with his head in the ground, and the mannerisms of a ranch-hand.” Thus, we eventually recover from our first crush. Another of the trying problems of girlhood is the use of the family tele- phone. Merely because we want to talk to one or two or more of our friends for from one-half to three-quarters of an hour in the course of an evening, our parents persist in complaining that we talk too much and too long. After all, we only see our friends in school all day, at basketball, football, or base- ball games, and every other time we can; so you see, we just have to talk over all our daily problems and experiences over the phone. Still another problem of being a girl is baby-sitting. Whoever got the “sitting” tagged onto that title must have been entirely unqualified to name this responsible duty. Baby-sitting is the mainstay of many a girls’ budget, and although by the time the parents get home you are running around in circles with your hair in your face and your head feeling as though someone had dropped a dozen bricks on it, it is really lots of fun. Most of the dear little angels are really quite good and easy to take care of. In most homes nowadays, there are two or three or even four, of these energetic little creatures. Every one of them is different so that you can’t use any one as a pattern on which to practice. However, they most always have the same, or similar likes and dislikes. Most children love ice cream, candy, bubble gum and cake, and hate vegetables and everything else that is good for them. They love making mudpies and anything to do with dirt, and hate taking naps and baths. They adore taking out all sorts of toys, playing with them for a short while, and leaving them for something else when they get bored, and they despise picking up the stuff they leave around. Although there are simply dozens of homes where baby-sitting is torture, there are a few where the kids are just as good and these, which are few and far between, make “sitting” worthwhile. Now that I have named and discussed a few of the many trials and tribu- lations of being a girl, I wish to state that I wouldn’t be anything else for the world. 71 The H amiltonian 73 The Hamiltonian PATRONS AND PATRONESSES Harold Gillman Allen Mr. Mrs. Edward 0.
