Denying your own life. You have given not only advice You have given of youi ' self With the perception of maturity, You have given guidance and friendship to us. You have given the vision of a life dedicated to others. The PORTRAIT dedication is not a symbol of agreement, but one of respect and love. It is the most meaningful gift of appreciation we ha e. We offer it to Mrs. Mildred Golding. n We are PEOPLE working together each is unique patterened after his own design and inour way we complete one another ' s lives.

Senioi cl iss othceis — Beth Berens, Tieas.; Kathie Berens, Sec; John Zoet, Vice Pits ind Tim Boexe, Piesident with sponsors Mrs, Oxerbeek .ind Mr. Kos Seniors anticipate graduation Members of the Class of 1971: It has been suggested that each of us moves through life like someone moving with a lantern in a dark woods. A bit of path ahead is illuminated, and a bit of the path behind. But the darkness follows hard on our footsteps, and envelops the trail as we proceed. Were we to be able, though we never are, to re-trace our steps by daylight, we would find that the terrain traversed bears, in realitv, little rela- tionship to what imagination and memory had pictured. As you glance through this 1971 Portrait in future years, you probabK ' will be impressed by how far remo ed you have become from the teen-age figure to whom your identity is linked. Yet, I would hope that as you reflect upon youi ' school years you will feel that your diploma from Hamilton High School is symbolic of additional candle power in vour lantern. God bless ou as ou make our separate pathways through the forest.

Leadership— a combination of knowledge, concern, or- ganization, and practical application. A corporation or comple.x enterprise requires leadership if it is to fulfill its objectives. A school is an educational corporation— an institution of learning. For Hamilton to realize its ultimate of knowledge its leaders must be dedicated, and its organization must be efficient. There must be the experience of men who have faced the questions and answers of life, and there must be the wisdom of love. There must be a genuine concern for the school, the students— and the future of both. Both there must also be a practical outworking of this knowledge and concern. This is the business of a high school corpora- tion. Mis. Eshleman seeks to find just the right couises of study.

Exploring the mysteries of Nature ' s order The scope of the Science Department is in deaHng with objects too small and too large to be discussed meaningfully in terms of our everyday language. The process of learning of the biological processes of living creatures, the structures and formations of oui earth, and the chemistry and physics of life offer a challenge to students who strive to understand nature and the living. The research of these objects and the discovery of their functions polarize our respect, awe, fear and love for the Creator. m3 ' Rita combines elements in Independent Stiid Miss Kemme condiicts experiments to pro e scientific tacts The structure of plant life is explained b Mr. Rosine Mrs. Dietz theorizes on the ph sical structure of the earth Students take ad antage of condiicixe atmosphere for studying.

Illustrating the emotions of color Cloth pa ' iitings are hung up to dr The muted fluorescence of sunset, the invigorating green of spring— scenes that stir the soul of man, scenes that fade into time. Yet, for the artist, beauty is not merely a breathtaking spectacle; it is a consuming ex- perience, a discipline requiring sensitivity and long hours of work. The results— seeing shades of coloring, shadows, lines, and angles, perceiving reality in a new way and capturing it— can be seen by all of us in the annual Spring Art Festival. Art students seek to con- vert the fading scenes of time into timelessness— this is the challenge and exhilaration of Art. Designing the technical necessities of life Blueprint specifications are checked by Mr. Van Lente. Lyle and Denny design their way to first place at Western. Ml . Ciioeiiheide goes over drawing terms To tlie artist tools are needed for the expression of ideas. Beginning with giving a student an under- standing of the basic principles of woodworking, picto- rial drawings and drafting, and leading to constructing complex furniture and architectural design, the hidus- trial Arts Department seeks to give the student the tools needed to express his ideas in a technical world of construction and engineering plans and blueprints. Indusbial Arts provides these tools for building a prac- tical education. Everyone knows what home ee girls do. Bake pies all morning, and then sit around and talk about husbands- to-be and balanced budgets and that nasty cookie pan that just won ' t get clean. .A.t least that ' s what some people seem to think. Wardrobe design, interior decorating, and food management and preparation are the ingredients of this complicated field. The overall skills lend a capacity for effective management in ei- ther home or business. Only through skill, practice, and tiaining can these goals be achieved. Home Eco- nomics is an art and a science. Mrs. Boiima help.s the girls make u ise selections. Preparing the ingredients of tomorrow Stead h.mds make e en stiches. Basic knowledge learned in the classroom is given a workout outside where the students of the Department of Agriculture can apply those facts which they have learned to their work. Ag students study plants and animals inside and out, as well as the methods which will yield the greatest possible productivity through actual labor, crop experiments, and field trips. Trophies and awards are the rewards of hard work. Cultivating the seeds of success Mr. Smith congratulates Roger Snioes upon recei ing the DeKalb Proficiency Award. ■V ' ' -.A ' •, ' ..Tl • ?

There is that thing within the soul of man that seeks for order. The Department of Mathematics strives to find the formula which will produce that order. If to some, mobbed numbers seem to be digital insanity and probing for hours seems foolish, the pleasure and quest of the steps of math is being overlooked. It gives the reason for everything from the Egyptians ' first geo- metries to the ventures of an Einstein into the depths of his own imagination.

Technical knowledge must be acquired — verbs, gerunds, adjectives— how they fit into our world of words. Judgment and critical appreciation of liter- ary values must be considered. Our English Depart- ment through the study of practical English, speech, literature, and writing strives to perfect the skill for and to develop an understanding of effective use of this quality that makes man unique, the spoken and written word. This provides the clues to the mystery of life. Mr. Tanis e.xpounds on American Literature. Tempers and wit bung home District trophs Interpreting the thoughts and words of man Research cards provide impetus to clear thinking. Sports in the past history of H.H.S. have been physically inclined for the most part, but now the im- mortal Hawkeyes has a sport that is mentally inclined for the most part except the vocal bands. These strong minded larynx people have a Varsity and a J.V. team, also. To start off the vocal brawl there are two affirma- tive speakers and two negative speakers. Both teams have coaches and the winning side is decided by a judge. Each person speaks twice. The first time for ten minutes called ' Constructives ' and then a second time speaking for five minutes called Rebuttals ' . Each person can get up to thirty points. The Hawkeyes were placed second in the OK Blue Division League overall. The new team went to State Districts and won 5-1 overall. Then to Regionals but were defeated, losing two in the best-of-three tourna- ment. Among the Varsity are Rudy Broekhuis, Tom Hall- quist, Pat Sternberg, and Judy Geerts— Most N ' aluable. The Varsity scored 10-4 in their league season, J.V. ' s team are all Sr. High Bandsmen, they are Tom Johnson, Dan Grondin, Carl Meyer, Rick Barrett, and Louise Grondin— substitute. The J.V. ' s scored 6-8 in their first league season. Oh, I almost forgot The Name of the Game ' is DEB. TE.

The past drones unceasingly; the present screams out. And it is a deaf man to whom the past is silent and the present dumb. The heritage that molds us is recorded and retained in words. As our Foreign Language Department attempts to in estigate the past and present world cultures, it works through language, the key to both. Students and teacher stri e to lay a basic understanding of Spanish and German through oral and written instruction in the classroom and language lab.

The Choialaires perform in most of the area churches Expressing the thoughts and emotions of music Vocal music involves the total individual. A jumbled maze of notes and words lives and takes meaning only when the singer puts into practice choral tech- niques, and most of all, his feel- ings and past experiences. From Handel ' s immortal Messiah to the popular Walk On By the X ' ocal Music student must create the mood intended by each com- poser to give the song meaning and vitality.

Football Team captured the League Championship with a per- fect record of 7-0 making this the second championship in three years for Mr. Appledorn. The J.V. ' s had some very outstanding players among this group of champi- ons. One was Bruce Peters who scored more points in one game than any other J.V. player. Randy Haver- dink who had the most points in a season and the rushing record in one season. Also, there was Bob Busscher who was very outstanding in defense.

The free throw line seemed to be an impossible obstacle for the team, but Carl Slotman compensated by leading the team with 268 points with ' ard Nyhuis capturing 155 rebounds.

They set two new school records with the most games won in a season (15) and the most consecutive wins in a year (11). Their secret to success was the ability to perform and work together as a team. The team averaged 63.6 points and 36.2 rebounds a game. Brad Brink lead the team in both average points and rebounds with 15.7 and 10.4 respectively. Their teamwork effort awarded them the co-championship in the Blue Division with a 15-2 season. Congratulations Champs and .Mr. Hesche.

Hamilton ' s wrestling program is only two years old, and yet this year ' s team showed great strength and confidence. With many powerhouses like Harvey Overbeek, Dick Lampen, Steve Lampen, Ken Dykhuis, Jay Jay Shuck, and Bill Moore, Hamilton powered its way to third place in the regional tournaments, and the above six grappled in the State tournaments. The enthusiasm expressed by the tense audiences as they watch each match helped our boys to a 10-6-1 record for the season. Dick Lampen was chosen as Honorary Captain, Randy Kraker was Most Improved, and Bill Moore as Most Valuable by their teammates at the close of the season. Mr. Stoel has much to look forward to with many promising men returning for Hamilton ' s third year in wrestling. Rog Snellei and Don Steele head down the farewas for the ball Putters slice the season The season started out beautit ' ulh ' with 5-0 and ended with 1-4 record. The first game of the season witli Byron Center was 5-0, then the second time up it was 0-5. ' e played Lee twice and both times the score was 5-0, W ' ayland twice and twice 0-5, Caledonia twice and t vice 5-0, Allegan twice and twice 1-4. The team ' s record in the O.K. Blue Division was 6 wins and 8 losses; Overall record was 7 wins and 10 losses. Regionals placed us 9th and All-Conference Meet found us tied for 5th place with Comstock Park in League. Definition of Golf A game played with clubs and balls, generally o er large commons, downs, or links; the object being to drive the ball, with as few strokes as possible, into holes placed at considerable distance apart for people disordered in intellect.

Netmen smash their way to 2nd in Regionals A sport most people are not in- terested in is tennis. The tennis season was quite well played. Their coaeh coached them to 10 winning and 6 losses. The team placed 2nd in Regionals and 2nd in All-Con- ference. The first match of the year was against Zeeland and the score was 3-2, we won. The last game was a phenomenon an omen with the score also 3-2. Five times the score was 5-0 in our favor, thrice 2-3 and 4-1, twice 1-4, and once 0-5. Sr. Larry Grotenhuis and Jr. Dean Ellens were undefeated in doubles in the League Dual Matches and in the All-Conference meet. Larry was chosen Most X ' aluable to the team. L. to R.— Kneeling— T.

Trackmen run away with 2nd place in regionals Rick Kraker and John Zoet hand off baton in relay. Mike Kraker waits for the gun to start the race, Mr. Kos ' s frack team overpowered any and all opponents for a 7-0 season. Their strength and skill earned them 2nd place out of 19 schools in the regionals. Most of the existing school records were shat- tered by a team of predominantly seniors. Randy Busscher proved his ability in setting new records in the 180 low hurdles, the long jump, and the 120 high hurdles. Bryan Sale vaulted his way to 11 ' 8 4 and Steve ' an Doornik ran his way to a record in the 880 yard run. The mile relay team and the 880 relay team combined their efforts and timing to set new records for the school. Although the seniors were strong, Mike Lampen proved his value by setting a new record in the mile run. Mr. Kos will certainly miss Randy Busscher and the other se- niors, but has a fine team of underclassmen preparing to set all new records again ne.xt year.

The eye of the hawk was acute and won us a 1st place in the O.K. ' s League Blue Division, and a recording of 13-1 in games was landed with tallens. Another feather was added to Coach Cotts ' cap when a glittering trophy was awarded to the champs in District Baseball of the Michigan High School Base- ball Tournament. Four promising young players were announced to the All-Conference Baseball Team. They were Sr. out- fielders Dan Dubbink and Doug Koopman. Dan ended his last season with a fine batting average of 400 and Doug also had a fine batting average of 390. Pitchers announced to the team were Jr. Mike Brenner and Ted Yoak. Mike had a season of 6 wins and losses plus a well deserved run average of 1.47. Ted collected 11 wins and 2 losses, pitched 2 no-hitters and struckout 144 batters in 77 innings, averaging 2 strikeouts an in- ning. Most Valuable Ted had a run average of 1.45. The team as a unit batted like pros with a 317 and scored 187 runs in 21 games for an average of 9 runs per game. Ted Yoak tricked the team into hitting a 429 batting average.

Baseball team. The boys displayed great po- tential and ability, but lacked the consistency and teamwork necessary to make it work. Brad Brink had a .400 average at the plate, while Most N ' aluable, Lee Becksfort, had .300 and pitched his way to three vic- tories.

Becks Girls overpower opponents in athletics Girls athletics has been happening at Hamilton for some time, but few have been aware of it. Coached by Mrs. DeVos for the past year, Hamilton has produced very successful basketball, volleyball, and Softball teams. The shooting eye of Gloria Becksford and Beth Berens lead the basketball team to a near perfect season, being defeated only once by Northview. With the pitching arm of Gloria and the bat of Kathie Berens, Senior Girl Athlete of the year, the Softball team put on an overpowering demonstration of team- work and coordination which proved to be no match for any opponent. With the return of many of the girls and strong backup J. ' . teams, ne.xt year promises to be another predominately Hamilton ' ear in the Girls ' Athletic division of the League.
