For the class of 1961 I have a special feeling of warmth as it is the first class which I have been with for the full six years of its journey through Hamilton High. As 1 have seen growth in knowledge and wisdom modify the behavior and attitude of the members of your class, so do 1 hope that you have found a like growth on my part. This would be the message I would have you take with you, that there should never be a time when you cease to change because of this learning. Be ready to admit your mistakes, but learn by them and do not repeat them. May the success of the class of 1961 in the future fulfill the promise shown in its years at Hamilton High. Peter N. Coffin Principal 9

To The Class of 1961 These are exciting times. Society is rapidly changing and so, too, are your future citizenship and leadership roles. America and the world need citizens who are intellec- tually and morally stronger. You can provide this direction if you will employ the skills given to you by your fine teachers and make their teachings and those of your parents and clergy part of your daily living. To each of you, 1 offer my warm congratulations and best wishes for a successful fu- ture. We have followed your growth as students with pride. We will observe your future accomplishments with confidence that yours will be a real contribution to the maintenance of freedom throughout the universe. J ohn H. Lawson Sup’t of Schools 8

To The Class of 1961 This yearbook is proof that a high school is a small but quite complete community, all by itself. With so much achievement in evidence, we can be assured that our young people will soon be making substantial contributions in their various places of advanced study and employment. The era of pessimism about our nation’s youth is waning, and rightly so. At this very very moment we can sense in our particular institution an increasing appreciation of aca- demic achievement and a growing seriousness of purpose in general. As you will see in the pages that follow, our faculty has many reasons for being proud of the young people of our schools! Donald W. MacDiarmid Guidance Director 10
