The Book Club started its second year today with eleven members present. The purpose of the club is to show the students the pleasure to be had in leisure- time reading. Members are free to select books of their own choice. Many phases of reading are emphasized to help the student derive a sense of satis- faction and accomplishment from reading. These phases include a knowledge of word meaning, use of the dictionary, improve- ment in rate, visualization of what is read and the ability to see details that support the main ideas. All members are associated with the Teen-age Book Club which brings to them a record number of book selections for reading enjoyment each month. Some of the top selections enjoyed by the club mem- bers have included: Kon-Tiki, Thor Heyer- dahl; Shane, Jack Scheafer; Little Women, Louisa Mae Alcott; Gilbert and Sullivan Operas; Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank; Korea’s Heroes, Bruce Jacobs, Editor; Win- ston Churchill, Robert Taylor; and Baseball Stars of 1954, Bruce Jacobs. 40 Domino Club First Row; Stephen Alley; Haskell Fuller; Mrs. Hazel Ramer, Adviser; Edward Earley; Paul Patenaude. Second Row; Richard Rollins, Scott Greeley, Edward Fielding. The Domino Club was organized the last of January as a means of developing more rapid and accurate computation in the Junior High. It is a small but enthusiastic group who are becoming skilled with using double-nine and double-twelve sets. Each week the champions play off a challenge with keen interest. Mrs. Ramer is the sponsor. 41 Game Club First Row: Arthur Bennett- Robert Caverly; Richard Shannon; Mr. Donald Mack, Adviser; Roy Leach; Edward Millett; Donald Ed mondson.

June, 1954: Today climaxed a year’s program for the youths in the Boys’ Game Club, the purpose of which was to aid in the educational, physical, and social devel- opment of its members. The club sponsored such activities as bowling at which time the boys were taught proper form and correct rules, and had the experience of enjoying keen competition. As soon as the tennis courts were available, the group journeyed to the “clay” to co- operatively improve their game. Time was also devoted to the games of football, basketball, and baseball, all of which proved both entertaining and en- lightening to the entire group. 42 Game Club First Row: Linda Tremblay; Ellen McCann; Miss Joan M. Webster, Adviser; Barbara Lamprey; Adrienne Young. Second Row: Donna Pray, Lois Doucette, Patricia Bane, Diane Griffin, Sally Faulkner. Third Row: Judith Deans, Helen Lamprey, Evelyn Purdy, Georgette Agganis, Laurel Pelkey, Carol Peek. The Girls’ Game Club was organized this year for the purpose of bringing to the seventh and eighth grade girls an op- portunity to participate in games and sports outside of the physical education period. The club concentrated on learn- ing the non-team games which can be enjoyed without a team or an organized number of players. In the spring and fall the girls put to good use the tennis courts at Patton Park. They practiced the various skills and learned the rules of the sport. Outdoor volleyball and softball were also enjoyed during the warm weather. In the winter the club bowled at the Community House. This proved to be the favorite activity of the Girls’ Game Club. 43 Boys’ Cooking Club First Row; Barry Birch, Clement Hayes, David MacKenzie. Second Row; William Chute; Raymond Foster; Frederick Caldwell; Robert Little; Charles Collins; Lee Mann; Miss Millicent Boswell, Adviser; Robert Sheppard. About twenty -five years from now some new bride, confused by her mod- ern kitchen, will be thanking her lucky stars that her husband had enrolled in the cooking class while in junior high school. This opportunity was afforded the boys in the second semester this year when Miss Boswell undertook the task of teaching them, some of whom did not even know how to turn on the gas jets or how to boil water. From here the progress went ahead to simple foods and then on to preparing whole meals. The boys should consider themselves fortunate to have had the new, modern equipment which was installed in Sep- tember on which to experiment. This factor seemed an important feature in the results of their culinary art. 44 Fire Squad First Row; Gail Foster; Charles Fowlie; Mrs. Hazel Ramer, Adviser; Philip Trus- sell, Chief; Margaret Pierce. Second Row: Philip Maione, Laurence Smith, George Delaney, Clifton Jermyn, Donald Killam, Thomas Cullen, Raymond Whipple, John Neary.

Absent When Picture Was Taken: Albert Edmondson. The Fire Squad this year has been able to control the fire drills efficiently so that the building has been evacuated in less than one minute as a general average. This job becomes more diffi- cult yearly as the enrollment mounts, but monthly practice makes this record possible. Fire Chief Philip Trussell, and his Senior High assistants are competent and speedy in handling the evacuation of rooms, toilets, and corridors, checking open windows, closing fire-doors, and manning fire extinguishers. Several un- intentional alarms have tested the quick reactions of the Fire Squad. 45 School Drama First Row: Judith Clarke, Susan MacKenzie, Margery Ricker, Roberta Tremblay, Shirley Trepanier. Second Row: Mrs. Eleanor McKey, Adviser; Dorothy Appleton; Donna Gauthier; Sylvia Thibodeault; Janet Srnerage; Mary Jane Byrnes; Sandra Higgins; Cynthia Ranger. Third Row: Patricia Barror, Solveig Johnson, Patricia Foster, Priscilla Deans, Barbara Nickerson, Margaret Cullinane. Fourth Row: George Delaney, Jack Sullivan, William Poole, John Neary. Absent When Picture Was Taken: Esther Donaldson. This year’s drama club undertook three projects for the year: the first, a Loyalty Day assembly, held in No- vember in which a play, “We Hold These Truths” was presented; the second, a Christmas play, “Under the Spreading Christmas Tree,” given for the Christmas assembly in co-operation with the Glee Club; the third, a three- act play “Family Circle,” presented on May 14 and 15 at public performances. Participating in the first project were Dorothy Coe, David Geikie, Donald Lincoln, Patricia Barror, Esther Donaldson, Dorothy Appleton, and Barbara Nickerson, with several other members acting as “students.” In the Christmas play Judith Clarke took the part of a teacher who, with the help of “a waif,” Margaret Cullinane, taught the lesson of unselfishness to the “spoiled brats”--Susan MacKenzie, Donna Gauthier, Priscilla Deans, Janet Srnerage, and Mary Jane Byrnes. “Family Circle” concerned the great decision of Cornelia Otis Skinner to be- come an actress. Two casts worked on this play so that all the club members might have a chance to participate. Cast A consisted of Margery Ricker as Cornelia, and Esther Donaldson as Mrs. Skinner, supported by Dorothy Appleton, Mary Jane Byrnes, and Shirley Trepanier. 46 Cast I included Judy Clarke as Cor- nelia with Janet Smerage as her mother, supported by Barbara Nickerson, Pris- cilla Deans, Donna Gauthier, Cynthia Ranger, and Patricia Foster. The boys for both casts were John Neary, Jack Sullivan, George Delaney, William Poole, and Albert Edmondson. Officers of the club for the first se- mester were: Margery Ricker, Presi- dent; Roberta Tremblay, Secretary; and Esther Donaldson, Treasurer. In April the group attended the New England Drama Festival in Boston, sev- eral of the girls serving as ushers. 47 Handicraft First Row; Linda Imhof; Helen Lamprey; Miss Edith Anderson, Adviser; Barbara Lamprey; Shirley MacGregor. Second Row; Raymond Foster, Barry Higgins, Stephen Fowlie, Paul Brumby, James Richards, Richard Rollins, Many projects were completed by the members of the Handicraft Club. Among these were “papier mache” bowls, Hallo- ween masks, toy animals and dolls. En- amel, tempera paint, crayon and chalk were used for coloring and decoration. Stencil designs were cut from paper or obtained from potato molds. The members found the work of the club to be instructive and entertaining. Honor Roll First Row: Carole Bigney; Bonnie Robertson; Susan Cook; Nancy Garland; Kathleen Little; Barbara Alexander; Mrs. Hazel Ramer, Adviser.

The Honor Roll continues to offer satisfactory recognition to pupils who have excelled in academic subjects. Pupils are required to maintain an average of 85% or over in order to receive an honor roll card. Those pupils who earn 90% or bet- ter in all subjects are presented with a red rose in a special assembly when the list of high excellence is announced. At this same assembly those pupils who have earned 90%i or better in all subjects but one receive a red carnation. Puzzle Club First Row: Stephen Gero, Ellen Townsend. Second Row: Louise Tremblay; Linda Imhof; Miss Edith Anderson, Adviser; Pauline Trepanier; Kathleen Little. Third Row: Jeanne Bullerwell, Gail Patenaude, Gary Woods, Susan Cook, Richard Contestabile, Patricia Rollins, Edna Eskelson. The Puzzle Club meets every week in Room 16 with Miss Anderson. Spelling and cross word puzzles, and games, such as Flinch, brings much pleasure to every- one. 50 Sports ' Club First Row; Stephen Alley; Merritt Hopping; Walter Mansfield; Mr. Wilton Moyer, Adviser; Robert Davis; William Chute; George Perkins. Second Row: Haskell Fuller, Robert Welden, Alan Sanders, Laurence Lowry, David Greeley, Dudley Hawkins, Lee Mann, Nelson Lent.

Fourth Row; Elliot Millett, Charles Collins, Allan MacCurrach, Harold Cook, Francis Collins, Donald Tree, Stephen Sargeant, Arnold Wentworth. The fundamental purpose of the Sports Rules and Ethics Club is to acquaint its members with the basic rules of many different sports. In learning these, they are better able to enjoy and understand physical ac- tivities from the spectator’s as well as the player’s point of view. Most emphasis is placed on the major sports such as football, base- ball, and basketball. However, the minor ones are also given a great deal of consideration. A varied program of demonstra- tions, movies, radio programs, dis- cussions and other activities have made this period very enjoyable for all its members. 51 Postage Stamp Club First Row: William Walsh; Mr. Marshall Gero, Adviser; Thomas White. Second Row: Richard Pickering, Betty Birch, Richard Johnson, Sarah Jane O’Hara, Earnest LiPorto, Linda Hopping, Neil Quinn. Stamp Collecting is a very popular hobby. During the Activity Period the pupil is given an opportunity to com- pare with other pupils their collections, to discuss different kinds of stamps, evaluate their own collections and those of others. This hobby has its educational value, as well. It helps the pupil geographically; that is, they learn where different coun- tries are, populations, etc. Another im- portant value is that it teaches the pupils the worth of stamps and gives them a sense of realization as to the money in- volved in the buying and selling of them. It also started some students on a new and interesting avocation, which will en- tertain them later in life. 52 Student Council First Row; Donald Lincoln; Clifton Jermyn; Mrs, Hazel Ramer, Adviser; Philip Trussell; Raymond Whipple. Second Row: Barbara Alexander, Patricia Barror, Diane Crowley, Clement Hayes, Allan MacCurrach, Robert Caverly, Richard Johnson, Haskell Fuller, William Chute. Through the combined efforts of Mr, Chandler and Mrs. Ramer, a Student Council was formed this year at our high school. Mrs. Ramer took the responsi- bility of being sponsor. She started the ball rolling by stating that each class president automatically become a mem- ber of the Student Council. A second member from each class was also ad- mitted after he or she had filed nomina- tion papers and been elected by his or her own class. It worked quite well. There were three main reasons for starting the Student Council. They are as follows; to promote student partici- pation in school government, to establish better student teacher relations, provide more social activities and co-ordinate the activities of the student body. We have taken right up until now to complete our constitution. However, we feel confident that the student council will be a huge success in the future at Hamilton High. 53 Visual Education B iwi T� . ' Ml.

Oh, I am choosing the visual education club so I can get some information without working for it. Just keep your eyes open and your ears half shut, the sound is usually too loud for a small room, and you get education on a “sil- ver platter,” I should say on a silver screen. We learn about progress in chemistry, the latest in automobiles, how large indus- tries are run, and some helpful hints about using the phone, that is how to help the other phone user. We ought to have some baseball and football pictures so we could learn how to play these games with less effort, but perhaps we should learn these the hard way. 54 Wood working First Row: Mr. Marshall Gero, Adviser; Robert Sheppard; Richard Johnson; William Walsh; Ernest LiPorto; Charles Moyer; Robert Little; Donald Lincoln; Edward Hopping.

The boys have an opportunity to try their hand at either printing or wood- working. The woodworkers made various articles including wallracks, bookshelves, desks, and many other articles. The printers did various jobs both for the school and for themselves including stationery, passing permits, absent slips, programs, tickets, report cards etc. 55 Glee Club First Row; Sandra Higgins, Alberta Bryant, Helen Cronk.

The Glee Club this year has func- tioned as a mixed chorus made up of 26 girls and 10 boys ranging from grades nine to twelve. The boys have shown unusual interest and added an enriching depth of tone with their bass parts. Besides the regular Tuesday activity period, we have enjoyed an added opportunity to rehearse at period 6 on Wednesdays. This additional music period has helped tremendously in pol- ishing our programs. Our first formal performance was the Christmas Assembly in which we cooperated with the Dramatic Club and the Junior High Chorus. Bible readings of the Christmas story were interspersed with the Glee Club singing “Lo, How a Rose Lay Blooming.” “O Holy Night” with Ann Brindle ’57 as soprano soloist, and the “Hallelujah” chorus from the “Messiah.” The assembly closed with a dramatic sketch, “Under the Spreading Christmas Tree,” and general singing of traditional carols. Johnstone Geikie, class of ’53, now majoring in music at Boston University, returned for the as- sembly hour to accompany the Glee Club on the piano. The most outstanding undertaking of the Glee Club was the presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta “lolanthe” on April 9 in the War Memorial Audito- rium. The cute and fantastic story of the love of fairies for noble but mortal peers was given a spirited interpretation, and we all loved the lilting melodies. David Geikie ’55, the susceptible “Lord Chan- cellor” tried hard to win the hand of Phyllis; his pretty ward in chancery. sung by Joyce Nevin, ’56. But Phyllis proved herself faithful to the shepherd, Stephen, sung by Charles Fowlie, ’54, who was a half-fairy son of lovely lolanthe, sung by Ann Brindle, ’57. The command- ing Queen of the fairies was Ann Saunders, ’57. Supporting fairy parts were taken by Roberta Tremblay, ’56; Susan MacKenzie, ’56; and Kristen Lundgren, ’57; two prom- inent peers were Philip Maione ’55, and Clifton Jermyn, ’54.

The Varsity Club opened the year with their first meeting on September 15. The officers, elected the year be- fore, were Philip Trussell, President; Raymond Whipple, Vice President; Gail Foster, Secretary; Phyllis Smerage, Treasurer. Mr. Martini, our adviser, guided the officers and members in their decisions for the Varsity Club activities. The main topic for this year, as well as every year, was making money. Our biggest event of this year was the “Record Hop” on April 5, which proved to be a huge success. We engaged Stan Richards from WORL in Boston who brought with him top billing Stars. These entertainers added much to make the evening a social success. Among the other activities of the year were a record hop on October 23, the selling of refreshments at games, the selling of plas- tic book covers to go on the yearbooks, and the selling of school pins. Each of these activities proved of value to the organization as each swelled the treasury little by little. Enough money was made so that letters could be presented to the deserving girls and boys who participated in the Hamilton High School sports program. 61 Hamilton Six First Row: York Semons, Laurence Snaith, Raymond Whipple, Dennis White. Second Row: Coach Wilton Moyer, Philip Maione, Francis Collins, Peter Thimmer, Stephen Sargeant, Manager Barry Higgins. Though the football team did not do very well this season, they added many hours of experience that will be of great use to them next year, as almost all of the team will be returning. The team racked up a not too outstanding record of only one win, and five losses, as they were new to the gridiron. Ray Whipple, the captain of the squad, did himself proud at the Harvard game, the game which the locals won, as he romped to a total of 36 points, with almost every run not less than 75 yards. The rest of the team was showing great improvement as the season came to an end. The squad seemed to find the key to scoring, and the defense was steadily improving. In the beginning they lacked the spirit to stop the oppo- sition’s attack, and could not get their offensive really rolling. The Manches- ter game, which is the big game of the year, showed that the boys were really football players, as they held the pow- erful Story 6 to 40 points. The predic- tions in the papers before the contest gave the Manchester team an easy vic- tory, but the Generals proved to be no cinch. Next year’s team will be in the hands of Mr. Martini, who is dropping basket- ball, and taking up football and baseball, while Mr. Mack is taking the helm on the court. Coach Martini will have a team that has been building for the last year, with several players having two years experience. The expectations for next year’s squad are high, and with the new additions coming up from the lower grades, the locals will have a good chance of taking the league, and taking permanent possession of the league trophy. 63 Hamilton Causes Upset First Row: Thomas Sinkiewicz.

The main reason for their losing the title race was the fact that the players were plagued by colds, and were in no condition to take the court. However they did, and, though they lost to Ipswich and Rockport during this time, in both games they put up a good fight and could have won if they were in top shape. The biggest event of the sea- son was their trouncing of the league champs, St. Ann’s of Gloucester, on the local court. This game made up for their losing the first place seat, though they did crop third for the second time in the last two seasons. The first four of the scheduled games were dropped, but when they played their first league game, they rolled over the Ipswich Tigers 65-35; then nosed out Essex Aggie 45-43 in a double overtime; and pro- ceeded to outdo Story High of Manchester 50-25. At this time they looked like the most probable candidates for the champs of Cape Ann League. After taking their first game with Rockport, they were hit with the series of colds and bowed to Ips- wich and Rockport by close scores. They were also swamped by a powerful Topsfield team and again downed by a large score in their first game with St. Ann’s. Coming out of their slump, they took their second game from the Aggie; and then proceeded to trip the St. Ann’s team. Their last game of the season was the only loss that should have been averted as they sank to a revenge- hungry Manchester 52-44 on the local court. Now to the players themselves. And as obvious to all those that followed the games, the Trussells, Jim and Phil, took the individual scoring race easily. Phil was the high scorer of the team hitting into the twenties twice, and winding up a season total of 184 points. He also cropped the foul shot cup as he hit for 60 out of 92 tries to wind up with an average of 65 per cent. He entered the season with an even average of 12 points a game, and many other honors. Phil and Jim were picked to play on the league All-Star team, where Phil stole the show as he hit for 19 points as the All-Stars downed the champion St. Ann’s team. To top this off Phil was picked to play on the Essex County All-Star team which also played the St. Ann’s five and downed them. Jim Trussell followed his brother closely as he tallied for a total of 172 points for the season and wound up with an average of 10.8 points a game. He also came in second in the foul shooting contest as he sank 39 out of 65 tries for an average of 60 per cent. Jim has been elected as one of the co-captains of next year’s team by the rest of his team-mates, with Ray Whipple holding down the other half of the co-captain spot. John Neary, playing a deadly game at the left forward spot, put in a good account for himself, as he polled 120 points for an average of 8 points a game and wound up with an average of 47 per cent in the foul shot race. Ray Whipple at left guard, Dave Geikie at center, and Pete Thimmer at center and guard round out the Varsity squad with 104, 77, 23 points respectively as a season total. These three, though not prominent in the scoring department, did a lot to help the locals to their 7 wins. The remainder of the players came out of the Junior Varsity ranks when the situa- tion called; they were George Delaney play- ing guard. Bob Caverly playing a fine game in the forward position. Bob Morrison at center, Tom Sinkiewicz at guard. Out of these five players will come the one to take Phil Trussell’s place, as he will graduate this year. The Generals played their last game of the season at the High School, when they met the faculty in the fun game of the year. The girls also played and they were handicapped so that the women teachers could have more of an opportunity to defeat them. The boys played in their regular uniforms. The games started at 7:30, with the girls game leading off the double-header. Both games were packed with fun, as the opponents were out to down each other at all costs. 65 Junior High Basketball First Row: William Chute; Robert Weldon; Neil Quinn: Charles Collins; James Trussell, Coach; Gary Woods; Lee Mann; Robert Sneppard.

March, 1954 - Hamilton: The new Memorial Gym packed to capacity - Everyone anxiously awaiting the playoffs for the championship title of Intramural basketball. For the first time, this year a group of thirty -four boys showed up to organize Intramural basketball teams. They were divided into four teams and battled in very exciting games every week. From these boys will come our many prom- ising basketball stars of the future seasons at Hamilton High School. Each of the four teams were coached by outstanding members of this year’s Varsity basketball team. John Neary coached the Hawks; Jim Trussell, the Bullets; Ray Whipple, the Lakers; and Philip Trussell, the Celtics. The close games were sparked by such outstanding players as Robert Sheppard and Richard Johnson, the incredible right for- wards of their individual teams. Since John Neary’s Hawks and Jim Trus- sell’s Bullets shared top honors for first place, a championship game was played, with Johnnie Neary’s team winning the crown. 66 Lets Have a Cheer SssHiiiiiii? “ I liiiliiiiiliijjjliliii I iiiili ■ill iililiii Siiiliiliiii iiiii I ::: •::: h!

The final cheering event of the year took place on Friday, March 12, when the local group urged on the high school basketball teams to victory in our annual faculty versus varsity games. This was one of the many times when the bevy of girls joined forces to rouse the spirits of the school. Those girls who willingly spent many an hour perfecting the intricate cheers of the season were: Margaret Pierce and Margaret Trepanier, Co-captains; Gail Foster; Marjorie Henley; Margery Ricker; Roberta Tremblay; Sylvia Thibodeault, and the reliable substitutes Diane Crowley, Sandra Bertone and Ann Saunders. During the season the substitutes also had an opportunity to display their tal- ents since several of the regular cheer- leaders were afflicted with illness. This additional p ractice will, no doubt, be obvious in next year’s cheering squad when these substitutes become members of the regular group. Several new cheers were devised in the course of both the football and basketball seasons and these new “yells” were taught to the student body during athletic rallys. In order for the young people to become familiar with these cheers, it was some- times necessary to repeat them several times. The last activity of this year’s squad was to elect and set up a new team and leader. From last year’s group, Margery Ricker was chosen as captain of next year’s squad. “BEST OF LUCK” from the seniors. 67 Girls Take To the Floor First Row: Carol Peek, Sandra Higgins, Evelyn Purdy, Donna Gauthier, Judith Clarke, Diane Crowley, Helen Walsh, Margaret Trepanier, Priscilla Deans, Esther Donald- son, Mary Walke, Patricia Barror, Frances Donlon, Dorothy Caley, Janet Smerage, Barbara Nickerson, Ann Saunders, Sandra Bertone, Cynthia Ranger. Second Row: Miss Joan Webster, Adviser; Margaret Pierce, Absent When Picture Was Taken: Phyllis Smerage, Team Manager; Margery Ricker. Under the leadership of our new coach. Miss Joan M. Webster, the girls of the H.H.S. basketball team began in December what later proved to be a hard-fought but almost victory-less season. The H.H.S. girls won their first game against the Alumni. The rest of the season saw the girls in green fight valiantly but without victory. Close defeats like those experienced against Rockport and Manchester were genuine “heart-breakers.” Manchester, traditionally our toughest rival, barely squeezed a one point victory out of a red hot overtime game. The season was spirited and enjoyable even though almost winless. Diane Crowley was high scorer for the season with a total of 83 points. The building of a seventh and eighth grade squad and the return of many of this year’s players should provide for a more successful season in 1955. Margaret Pierce and Margaret Trepanier, the only two five-letter girls, wish next year’s team a very successful season. 68 News In Review The doors of H. H. S. opened wide this year for approximately 200 enthu- siastic pupils. On arriving the students cordially welcomed two new teachers, Miss Joan Webster and Mr. Donald Mack, both very well qualified to fill the positions. The presses started to roll with the election of class officers as follows; Grade 12 - Pres. Philip Trussell V. Pres. Phyllis Smerage Sec. Lee Saunders Treas. Robert Dodge Grade 11 - Pres. Raymond Whipple V. Pres. Walter Buzzell Sec. John Neary Treas. Philip Maione Grade 10 - Pres. Robert Caverly V. Pres. Roy Leach Sec. George Delaney Treas. Margery Ricker Grade 9 - Pres. Allan MacCurrach V. Pres. Ann Saunders Sec. Helen Walsh Treas. Karen Johnson Grade 8 - Pres. Richard Johnson V. Pres. Lawrence Lowery Sec. Judith Crowley Treas. Robert Sheppard Grade 7 - Pres. Clement Hayes V. Pres. Lee Mann Sec. Georgette Agganis Treas. Stephen Alley Under the capable management of Coach Wilton Moyer our football team put on a wonderful show. Even though they were not “champs” on a state- wide basis, they will always be tops in our book. Our basketball team really gave us a thrill this season when they upset highly favored St. Ann’s in a spectacular game, leading all the way. Phil Trus- sell proved to be a real star by being picked to play on two all-star teams. Congratulations “Phip,” you were the greatest. The rest of the Varsity Team also gave sparkling performances. They were: Jim Trussell, Ray Whipple, Dave Geikie, Johnny Neary, and Pete Thimmer. Miss Webster’s girls’ basketball team had a great deal of fun, even though they were not too successful. We expect, however, to see some real playing next year especially if the last game was a sample of their ability. Throughout the football and basket- ball seasons our cheerleaders, under the direction of the Co-Captains, Margaret Pierce and Margaret Trepanier, kept all our spirits at a high pitch. About 18% of the students attained the honor roll with an average grade of 85 or better in every subject. The special award, an honor card was presented at suitable assemblies. This year we were very fortunate to have sponsored both a play and an operetta. Our Operetta was entitled “lolanthe” and had David Geikie, Joyce Nevin, Charles Fowlie, Ann Brindle and Ann Saunders as leading stars. The play under the direction of Mrs. McKey was “Family Circle.” Because of the large number of girls who tried out for parts, it was decided to have two casts, each presenting the play one night. Those who had leading parts in the pro- ductions were; Margery Ricker, Esther Donaldson, Judith Clarke, Janet Smerage, John Neary, Jack Sullivan, George Delaney, William Poole, and Albert Edmondson. Each year the school elects a repre- sentative and alternate to take part in Good Government Day activities at the State House in Boston. This year the candidates for the honor were: Phyllis Smerage, and Philip Trussell for the Liberal Party and Philip Maione and John Neary for the con- servatives. The conservatives were vic- torious. Later in March Philip Maione, representing H. H. S., journeyed to Boston to fill the seat in the State Senate. The annual Legion Oratorical Contest was another highly interesting program conducted during the school year. Six con- testants participated. They were; Esther Donaldson, Phyllis Smerage, John Neary coming in second and Donald Lincoln third. Later Phyllis represented H. H. S. at the regional contest at Nahant. This year Donald Lincoln and Raymond Whipple were chosen to represent H. H. S. at Boy’s State in the spring. Congratula- tions boys! An open house was held in the spring so that the townspeople could get a glimpse of the kind of work we do at H. H. S. After short classes which the parents attended, a physical education ex- hibition was held in the gym. We are very proud of our newly or- ganized Student Council. The purpose 70 of which is to establish better teacher- pupil relations. The officers were: Pres. Philip Trussell V. P. Clifton Jermyn Treas. Raymond Whipple Sec. Donald Lincoln Three students were picked by the faculty to speak at graduation. A stu- dent is picked on his speaking ability to prepare and deliver his speech and his scholastic rating. The speakers were: Phyllis Smerage, Gail Foster, and Philip Trussell. Perhaps the events of this year would not warrant an “extra” edition - or perhaps this is not a report of world shaking occurrences, but it will always be remembered by those who are graduating in 1954 as the most important year of their lives. 71 o 76 Stock Market MAY JUNJULY AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN FEE MAR APR 1952 1953 1954 WEEK’S TRANSACTIONS ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE The New York Time April 11. 1954 Site of the mine (cross).
