The Glee Club has been a mixed girls’ and boys’ chorus this year with member- ship open to all grades from seven to twelve. Our first appearance was at the dedi- cation of the Elementary School in a very formal and impressive program conducted by special representatives of the Building Committe and the School Board. “God Bless America” and “Marianina” were sung at this program. On March 8 the Glee Club was invited to give a Sunday Evening Musical at the Congregational Church. The young people and their parents from all the churches gathered to hear us perform an enjoyable program with. Johnstone Geikie accompanying onthepipe organ. This program included excerpts from “Pinafore” and various other selections. On Monday evening, March 23, the Glee Club repeated the excerpts from “Pinafore” for the Exhibition Program at the High School. On the evening of the presentation of the play, April 17, the Glee Club sang between the acts. 47 Home-Making First Row: Margaret Culinane, Susan MacKenzie, Helen Cronk, Ellen McCann, Dorothy Caley, Clarice Bertone, Sandra Higgins.

Beginning with the second half of the school year, a new activity was started. All interested in learning to play a band instrument and all who could play were brought together at the activity period. Twenty signified their interest, including six who already had experience in playing. Seven have purchased instruments and are now learning to play. The others are to purchase instruments as soon as possible. Our first appearance was at the Open House Night, March 23. It is hoped the band will be able to play at future athletic events. School Drama For the first time in many years, Hamilton High School presented a production entitled, “Our Miss Brooks.” From the beginning of the school year, up until the night of the production, many rehearsals f ere held which entailed much hard work and effort on the part of the cast and coach, Mrs. McKey. Although the three acts took place in a typical high school classroom, each act depicted various predicaments faced by the characters in producing a play. Lost Horizon. These situations closely resembled the actual difficulties faced by the the real cast. The characters were portrayed well and the play was enthusiastically received. The cast was comprised of: Miss Brooks, the English teacher Phyllis Smerage Miss Finch, the librarian Anne LeBlanc Miss Audubon, the music teacher.

Sports Rules and Ethics of the Sports Club as it is generally known has had. an average membership of about 18 throughout the year. The Club which has also in- cluded several girls is intended for the spectator in order that he may better enjoy watching sports by understanding them better. In order to gain the most as a spectator a knowledge of fundamental techniques is helpful; and these are, of course, helpful to the athlete also. The Sports Club places most emphasis on the major sports - -football, baseball, basketball; but the minor sports receive attention too. We are indebted to the M. S. S. P. A. for some excellent movies of football, basketball and baseball. The films dealt with techniques as well as rules’ demon- stration. A varied program of demonstrations, movies, radio programs, discussions, quiz programs, and other activities have increased the sports knowledge and interest of the members. 52 First Row: John Neary, Gail Foster, Carroll Carnes, Advisor, Miss McKay, Mary Byrnes, Albert Edmondson, Thomas Cullen.

The members read whatever they most enjoy, and try to discover, by direct experience, all the different kinds of enjoyable reading there are so that their choice need never be limited. The purposes of reading books are varied. Reading for entertainment provides the greatest and most varied show on earth. Informational reading helps to stimu- late an active state of mind. Backgroimd reading enables a person to acquire a worthwhile sense of value, a fair, impartial, and considered attitude to facts. Reading companionship introduces individuals to new friends, while reading culture enlarges a person’s sense of values.

The game club was formed on the last of January for the purpose of providing recreation as well as knowledge of basic rules of bowling, tennis and softball. During the winter months every Tuesday, twenty-four members trudge through sun, snow, sleet and rain to the Community House to bowl. Many thanks go to Jimmy Parker and Albie Edmondson for the use of their taxi service As soon as the tennis courts were officially opened many tennis champs dis- played their talent in spite of the blazing sun overhead. One of the highlights of the club’s program was witnessing an American League Baseball game in Boston. W ood working Left to Right: Arnold Wentworth, Richard Shannon, Stephen Sargent, Haskell Fuller, Advisor, Mr. Marshall Gero, Charles Cares. The problem of allowing all boys who desired a class in woodworking was par- tially 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. 55 Fire Squad First Row; Shirley Semons, Walter Buzzell, Robert McRae, Robert Henley, Richard Johnson, Janet Smerage, Glenn Cook, George Delaney, Emily Nickerson.

The fire squad this year has had a bigger and more difficult job than ever before in the school’s history. With the advent of the new wing and a modern gymnasium, the problem of evacuating the building quickly and without incident became one that required much planning. With the assistance of Mrs. Ramer, the fire squad of 28 members (from grades 7 - 12) met and vorked out the problems satisfactorily. There are approximately ten fire extinguishers in the building, each maned bv a competent operator. The remainder of the squad is occupied with directing traffic, clearing the rooms, closing all windows, and shutting the fire doors. With our new smooth functioning system we can evacuate the building in forty - eight seconds. f First Row: Martin Caverly, Barbara Nickerson, Margaret Cullinane, Janet J.

Its members and officers are made up of boys and girls in our school who have earned letters in any sport during any year. As our advisor, Mr. Martini gmded our officers and our membership in the policies and endeavors of the Varsity Club. It is the pxrrpose of this club to band together the athletes of the school for the common good of the school or of school sports. Among our accomplishments this year was the propagation of a Military Whist Party which proved to be a huge success. A gift was given to the one injured athlete of the season, Wayne Gauthier. Enough money was raised through the sale of candy at school functions and the sale of emblems so that letters and sweaters could be presented to deserving girls and boys who had taken part in the Hamilton High School sports program. Varsity Club sweaters were given to Ted Johnson, Bob Henley, Phyllis Allen, Betty Henley, Anne LeBlanc, and Barbara Liscomb. Football The Hamilton High School Football Team carried on from where the 1951 Champions left off, with another undefeated season. The Hamilton High Football Team had a 19 game winning streak as of the season. There were really no outstanding players on this team, but a bunch of boys with football stamina in them who followed orders from their outstanding coach, Wilton J. Moyer. The team of 1953 will have several newcomers since they are losing the entire first string which included Captain Bob Henley, Wayne Gauthier, Clarence Trepanier, Peter Tillson, and Ted Johnson. We will have a young Junior, Raymond Whipple, and a Senior Lawrence Smith, to lead the team to victory. 60 at First Row: Manager Fred Proctor, Ted Johnson, Clarence Trepanier, Captain Bob Henley, Wayne Gauthier, Raymond Whipple, Peter Tillson. � r-n„+4. Second Rowt Tom Sinkiewicz, Peter Thimmer, Dick Bertone, Lawrence Smith, Edward Millett, Eddie Liscomb, Paul McGinley, Asst. Manager Myron Hood, Coach Wilton J. Moyer. Cheerleading Six seniors and four juniors entered into the animated foot- ball and basketball seasons with enthusiastic anticipation for a successful year. The girls included co-captains, Betty Henley and Shirley Semons, Anne LeBlanc, Emily Nickerson, Phyllis Allen, Nancy Dodge, Kay Sanders, Margaret Pierce, Margaret Trepanier, Gail Foster, and a reliable sub cheer- leader, Marjorie Henley. The hi lights of both seasons will long be remembered by all. For the first time the Hamilton Cheerleaders participated in the annual cheerleading tournament held at Spencer, Mass- achusetts. The graduating yell-leaders wish for next year’s group a lively, lilting, looping season. 62 Girls ' Basketball First Row: Ruth Bodge, Margaret Pierce, Carol April, Margaret Trepanier, Barbara Liscomb, Ruth Messer, Phyllis Allen, Priscilla Holmes. Second Row: Coach Miss Maskiewicz, Frances Donlan, Nannette Landers, Elaine Titus, Emily Nickerson, Margery Ricker, Anne LeBlanc, Mary Walke, Diane Crowley, Sandra Higgins, Manager Phyllis Smerage. In the first week of December, the girls had their first basketball practice under their new capable coach Miss Maskiewicz. Thirty eager girls showed up at the new session, and after careful consideration the squad was reduced to twenty capable girls divided into the first and second teams. The first game of the season was not up-to-par for the girls, although they did win the main game with Ipswich on their court by a score of 40 to 27. In that game Captain Barbara Liscomb scored 31 points, Betty Henley scored 6 points and Margaret Pierce scored 3 points. The game proved most interesting as well as exciting to both teams, because of the close rivalry between them. One of the top two scorers of the team was Barbara Liscomb scoring 95 points; during the season she averaged 19 points per game. The other girl, Janie Holmes, had 80 points and averaged 10.4 per game. Even though five lettermen are leaving, the squad has good prospects for next year’s team. 64 Junior High Basketball first Row: Thomas Sinkiewicz, Lewis Foote, Robert Caverly, Fredrick Proctor, Roy Leach, Paul McGinley. Second Row; William Poole, Robert Morrison, Charles Dolliver, George Delaney, Edward Millett, Coach, Mr. Armstrong. First Row: Martin Caverly, Edward Hopping, Allen Sanders, Elliot Millett. Second Row: Francis ColUns, Fred Roberts, Stephan Sargent, Allan MacCurrach, Coach Armstrong. Boys Basketball The basketball season for 1952-1953 on the whole was a pretty fair success. This year we played eighteen games and our record was ten and eight. In the Cape Ann League this year we finished third under the auspices of our mentor, Mr. Martini. It was mainly through the capable leadership of our captain, John Carter that we advanced as far as we did. John was the teams’ high scorer with 393 points. This was enough to break the school record and good enough for third place on the North Shore. We hope that next year’s team will do as well, if not better, under the leadership of Captain Philip Trussell. Coach Martini faces the hard task of putting together a starting quintet since six seniors are graduating from this year’s team. These boys were the main-stay of the team. They were Captain John Carter, Robert Henley, Ted Johnson, Ed Liscomb, Pete Tillson, and Clarence Trepanier. The team also had the opportunity of playing in the Small Schools tournament. In the quarter finals we lost to Littleton 63-62. This year’s graduates wish lots of luck to next year’s team. 66 First Row: Advisor, Mr. Martini, Peter Thimmer, John Carter, Bob Henley.

The students cordially welcomed Mr. Chandler, the new superintendent, who had previously been principal of Attleboro High School; and Mrs. McKey, the new language and dramatics teacher. This year began enthusiastically with the election of officers as follows: Grade Twelve Grade Eleven Grade Ten Grade Nine Grade Eight Grade Seven President- -Ted Johnson Vice President --John Carter Secretary- -Shirley Semons Treasurer --Betty Henley President--Thomas Haraden Vice President — Phyllis Smerage Secretary- -Robert Dodge Treasurer — Lee Saunders President — Raymond Whipple Vice President--Carol April Secretary — Frank Buzzell Treasurer--Philip Maione President- -John Phelps Vice President — Thomas Sinkiewicz Secretary- -Robert Morrison Treasurer — Edward Millett President — Fred Roberts Vice President- -Karen Johnson Secretary — Judith Clarke Treasurer — Martin Caver ly President- -Haskell Fuller Vice President- -Richard Johnson Secretary — Richard Contestabile Treasurer--Patricia Carlson Under the leadership of Coach Wilton Moyer and Captain Bob Henley, the football team came through for the second consecutive year as State Champs for six-man football. How proud everyone was of these boys! A banquet was held by the Booster Club in honor of the players. The profits helped to pay the bill of our star half- back, Wayne Gauthier, who was injured during the season. Then came the basketball season. Coach Carl Martini issued a call for all can- didates to report for the first basketball session. From twenty-five candidates, seven boys made the varsity team which wasted by Captain John Carter, top scorer in the league making 225 points. He and his teammate, Teddy Johnson, represented Hamilton High School in the All Star Game at Manchester. Next year’s team looks good, with Philip and Jim Trusseil and John Neary returning. Good luck boys! At this same time Coach Helen Maskiewicz undertook the hard task of training inexperienced girls for a winning basketball team. For the fourth year, Barbara Liscomb sparlded and was honored as Captain of her team. The girls made many new friends and enjoyed the keen competition of their rivals. During both seasons, the cheerleaders kept the spirit and morale of the school at a high pitch, led by Co-Captains Betty Henley and Shirley Semons. Once again. Miss Libby Volk and Barbara Liscomb, this year’s business mana- ger, undertook the rugged responsibility of managing the Magazine Drive. Every- one did very well and much credit should be given to the two highest salesmen, Margaret Trepanier and Raymond Jones. 68 Academically this year the students showed excellent ability and steady effort. Twenty-eight students made the honor roll the first half of the year with four stu- dents receiving top honors of 90 or above in all their subjects. They were Thomas Haraden, Donald Killam, Janet Pariseau, and Shirley Semons. We decided to have a play this year in place of the usual operetta. The play was based on the radio and television presentation of “Our Miss Brooks.” An excellent job of directing was accomplished by Mrs. McKey. Phyllis Smerage played the leading role of Miss Brooks. Others with leading rolls were David Geikie and Raymond Whipple. The candidates for Good Government Day were Emily Nickerson and Charlie Cook of the Conservative Party and Anne LeBlanc and Albert LeBel of the Liberal Party. It proved to be an exciting event!! Anne and Albert were the victors. Later in March, Anne represented H. H. S. at the State House on Good Government Day. Another interesting program during the year was the annual Legion Oratorical Contest. Six contestants gave a speech on some phase of the Constitution. They were Gail Foster, Shirley Semons, Phyllis Smerage, John Carter, Raymond Jones, and Albert LeBel. Shirley Semons won first place for the second year and then entered the District Contest in Andover. We’re proud of you Shirley! This year, we are proud that Phyllis Smerage represented Hamilton High at Girls’ State held at Bridgewater State Teachers College. Congratulations Phyllis! So that the Townspeople could see the work the various classes had done during the year, the school had “Open House”. After a display of the work of the students, a fine exhibition of physical education by the students was presented in our gym. Once again. Miss Austen turned out a fine Glee Club. Accompanied by Johnstone Geikie, the pianist, the Glee Club sang for various occasions throughout the year. We’re also proud of our newly -organized band under the direction of Mr. Wilbur Armstrong. Those in the band were Lionel Pooler, Ted Johnson, Philip Maione, John Carter, Charles Fowlie, Johnstone Geikie, Richard Stillings, John Phelps, and Steven Fowley. The faculty chose three seniors to speak at graduation. A student is picked on his speaking ability, scholastic rating, and the ability to prepare a speech. The speakers were Glenn Cook, Janet Pariseau and Shirley Semons. As the year closes, the seniors are anticipating their future lives in this country of many opportunities. For them these last four years will linger always as pre- cious and everlasting memories. 72 FINANCES 73 PATRONS AND PATRONESSES Miss Edith M. Anderson Wilbur Armstrong Ruth E.
