A man of humility and honesty who has pointed the way to us and helped us if we fell. A man who does so much more than is required of him as he gives strength and calmness to those around him who are in trouble. A man who as a teacher has excited students ' interest in learning through many different approaches to the subject. A man who has been a class sponsor and has given many extra hours to class activities. A man who has expanded our sports department in many ways: by coaching, he has promoted good sportsmanship and spirit among his teams. By heading the department, he has inttoduced many new sports and athletic programs, and has given us many new athletic facilities. Hamilton has come to be known in this area for its wonderful athletic department, all because of this man. A man who has done so much here, but still has time to laugh with us and share our happy moments. The greatest material THANK YOU we can give to show our respect is the DEDICATION OF THE 1972 PORTRAIT TO MR. LAWRENCE CAMPBELL CAMPBELL ■,,;..,. -y. s ' ; i we ' ve only just begun to live . . . i -ir ' Kathy rests after big powder puff game. Ted Yoak crowns Miss Kathy Van Dyke 1971-72 Homecoming Queen.

Leena Korkkanen, from near the captial of Finland, came to live with the Ted Sternberg family after Pat spent the summer there. Leena enjoys living in America very much and fit in with the kids here very easily. Marie de Fatima Augusto Dutra is our exchange student from Crato. Brazil. She is staying with the Carl Imming family, and Joyce is her American sister. We call her simply. Fatima and whe has made many new friends here in America. Sergio Rizo Dutra is from South America also. He lives in the new cap- ital of Brazil, Brazilia. He is staying with the Shelley Bur- ton family and though he has no American sisters or brothers his age, he has adjusted well to life in Hamilton.

A combination of superb pitching, steady defense, and timely hitting was the formula which brought Hamilton High School to the brink of a state championship and its most successful baseball team ever. In anne.xing the OK Blue Division. District, and Regional Crowns, the Hawk- eyes compiled an impressive 21-4 record before losing to Centerline St. Clement in the State Championship game. 2-1 in ten innings, and closing with a 21-5 season mark. Ted Yoak. who became the first Hamilton player picked by a professional team when he was drafted by the Hous- ton Astros, amassed a 13-1 seasonal record while striking out a phenomenal 181 batters. Yoak was also the team ' s most valuable plaver for the second straight year and All- Conference choice for the third straight year. The other half of Hamilton ' s 1-2 pitching puch. Junior Lee Beck- sford. compiled a 6-4 record with the biggest wins being in the district and regional championship games. A stellar de- fense, led by catcher Randy Kraker. played a big role in the teams success. The two-time Blue Division champions allowed their opponents only 2.2 runs per game and a .158 batting average. The Hawkeyes attained an astonishing of- fensive record. The team had an overall batting average of .261 and scored 7 runs per game. The work of the team added four new trophies to the school ' s case. lanilv Pasehall: Coach Cotts. R. Kraker. C. Lubbers.

Getting off to a strong start by winning seven of their first nine games, it looked as if the J.V. ' s were off to a very promising season. But even though, the team ended the year with a win-lose record of 10-9. Led by Al Yoak, who was voted by his team- mates as the most valuable player, was also the leading hitter with a .400 batting average. Catcher. Doug Koopman. threw out ninteen run- ners trying to steal second base. The team was coached by Mr. Ron Eding and we thank the team for the fine effort they put out this year.

The team came in a strong third in the Conference meet, with the 440 yard relay team, consisting of Randy Haverdink, Mick Osborne, Marshall Lohman, and Bruce Peters, coming in first by set- ting the Conference and school record of 46.4 sec. Mick Osborne also placed another Conference record in the Hawkeyes ' hands by leaping 20 ' 3 in the long jump. Randy Haverdink, Most Valuable, and Bruce Peters ran their way to State in the low hurdles and 220 year dash re- spectively. The 440 relay team again showed its value by tying for second in the State. The Mikes of the team broke two other school records. Mike Karker claimed his by jumping 5T l ' 4 in the high jump and Mike Lampen broke his own record by running a 4:49.9 mile. While missing seniors, Mick Osborne and Marshall Lohman, the team is still expecting another good season next year. Senior Champ. Dean Ellens, smashes the ball over the net.

The students in the school all know these people here and while they may appreciate some of them more than others, they know the school could not be run without their auidance and understanding. Mr. DeJonge helps Wayne with a difficult assignment. Mr. Ellens keeps very busy during the year with kids and schedules and teachers. There is a lol of paper work in- ol ed in Mr. Kos ' s work.

Learning to write in a way that is understandable, grammatically correct, and sometimes creative. Acting- Theater. Relatively new to Hamilton, it teaches students to think and act imaginatively and to improvise their thoughts in action. Also, it teaches the technical side of acting— stage, lighting, publicity.

Mr. Stoel looks over the classroom to make sure ever one is working on their English assianment. Debate finishes first ia O.K. Blue Division. The debate team plans their arguments for the coming year. In its second year of interscholastic debate, Hamilton com- piled an overall 33-7 record that included a first place fin- ish in varsity competition of the O.K. Blue Division with a 14-2 mark, a second place in reserve debating with a 13-3 record, and a sweep of state district debates, winning six of six debates. This year ' s topic was ' Resolved: That the jury system in the United States should be significantly changed. ' A debater can score a possible 30 points in a debate, and a team, 60. Our varsity outscored opponents by an average of 48 points to 36. Our varsity affirmative team Tom John- son and Dan Grondin were 9-3 for the year; our negative of Pat Strenberg and Tom Hallquist were 11-0. The re- serve unit of Beth Topp and Louise Grondin (with Earl Slotman subbing once) finished 8-1, and Keith Hulsman and Karl Meyer finished 5-3.

Today we have a film on . . . This quote is taken from one of the various social studies classes at Hamilton. These courses give students the background they need in American and world his- tory so they can learn and take from these studies what- ever they need to make it in the present day world. We, as students, can also study these pages in history and feel pride that we live in a country like the United States, where freedom is a common thing. This depart- ment strives to teach us this. Maps are helpful to Mr. Buitendorp in leaching his histor classes. Mr. Rosine makes out science lesson plans for next week. Mrs. Dietz explains atomic structure to the class. Understanding why Are we going to the lab, today? Do we have to wear our goggles? Notes again! These are a few of the ex- pressions heard each day in some of the science courses offered here at Hamilton High. It is always amazing when, in one of these classes, you finally discover and understand why some common occurance in nature happens and it is so terribly discouraging when you cannot figure out why one mole equals one avogadro number of atoms. Science offers all students so much to learn and only when you look at the world around can you realize that we have only begun to scrape at the top of the vast areas of knowledge in science. Mr. Whitcomb tells the biology class about genetics. Mr. Eding records grades in earth science class. Miss Keninie shows girls the plant life growing in the classroom. The slide rule is the great time-saver of math problems. Mr. Hondorp helps a student with a math problem at the board. Mr. Bos explains how to graph mathematical equations John, go to the board and prove problem 6. What does ■rt d ' mean? Mathematics. Solving problems in a logi- cal manner in such a way as to arrive at the correct an- swer. Proofs, theorems, logarithms, and equations are all familiar terms to students in math classes at Ham- ilton. Problems in math can range from the simplest ad- dition problem to the longest, trickiest, problem in the book, containing everything that the student has learned so far. Math provide frustration, joy. and pride all experienced sometime during the computation of a problem. But it also gives students a practical, thinking. logical mind. Mathematics. Solving problems mathematically Bill Moore receives help on his math assignment from Mr. Laninga Hamilton places second in Math Day competition Ra Lokers gi es Ins chalk talk to the rest of the Math Day students. At the Mathematics Field Day held at Ferris State College on Thursday. March 23. 1972. Hamilton High School was represented by Seniors. Ray Lokers and Tom Hallquist, Juniors. Tom Johnson and Dan Grondin and Sophomore, Louise Grondin. Mathematics Field Day is an event de- signed to stimulate interest in mathematics and to recog- nize mathematical ability and achievement among high school students in the state of Michigan. Ray Lokers fin- ished second in the Chalk Talk Derby. In this event each student presents three five-minute talks before a chalkboard, followed by a brief period during which the judges ask questions related to the topics. The topics this year were Roots of Polynomials. Mathematical Induction and Solutions of Inequalities. Tom Hallquist and Dan Grondin finished first in the Dual Dig. In this event team- mates will be seated next to each other and may plan their strategy in whatever way they wish, but are not allowed to talk. Tom Johnson finished first in Rapid Transit A and Louise Grondin finished fourth in Rapid Transit B which was for sophomores only. This was a rapid computation and estimation contest. In the Mathematical Relay Race, the team composed of Tom Hallquist. Tom Johnson, Dan Grondin. and Louise Grondin finished second. Hamilton finished second in the overall competition to North Muskegon. Student teacher. Jerrv Komejan. explains alegebraic ex- pression. 1 r Miss Curtis goes over the math problems for the class.

Preparing for the business world Eyes on the copy; feet flat on the floor. It ' s time for a three-minute timed writing. This is the normal routine in any of the typing classes at Hamilton. Many students take at least a couple business courses during their four years in high school. There are many classes off ' ered in business, including shorthand, typing, accounting, and business law. math, and economics. Hamilton students have come to be known as being well-prepared for the business world, as soon as they graduate. All this, be- cause of the fine Business Department.

For your halftime entertainment Color guard, pick up your feet! When must we be here for the night prac- tice? Band. Working hard all year for football shows, parades, concerts, and festivals. Working hard to interpret a song in exactly the right way. Working hard to change from a marching band to a concert band and then back to a marching band again, all in one school year. But it isn ' t all work. There are trips to Traverse City or just to other schools to give concerts. Hayrides. bowling, and weiner roasts to celebrate a job well done. And then there ' s pride in the band when they receive a 1. the highest rating, marching or concert festival, as they did this year. The band is directed by George Smart. The Stage Band plays music that everyone enjoys. IliL- band pcrkirnis at mam football games. Musicians learn under direction of Mr. Smart. The spring concert makes it all worthwhile for concert band. Future Farmers parlicipate in many farm activities all over the area. Raising the farmers of the future I ' ll go get the tractor a minute. Is that the prize-win- ning bull? The Future Farmers of America. Young men learning the best means of farming, whether it be raising crops or livestock. The boys travel all over the area to participate in different activities. A few boys went to Louisville. Kentucky, to see a tractor pull. Ham- ilton ' s young farmers are known statewide for their fine work. Mr. Hesche gives the boys a little help in agriculture. Making tomorrow ' s homemakers May I use that sewing machine, now? Today, we will bake a chocolate layer cake. Home Economics. Mrs. Bouma ' sjob is to teach future homemakers how to sew, cook, bake, and how to be the perfect hostess. Crooked seams and hems, burnt meat and half- cooked potatoes, and a tray that slipped, fell, and ruined a full course meal. All this is part of home economics. But when, at the end of a hard year, the girls look back and think of the new outfit they made themselves, the dinner they served the teachers and all the compliments they received on it, and just the plain old girl talk they shared made it all worthwhile and a lot of fun. Mrs. Bouma explains a new recipe to a student in home economics. Learning to sew is one of the many useful things girls are taught in home ec. fe mi ■ ir fir- ■ -_ _ — ,, . __ h Mlfes - -EL B h . PPP! « '   ' J i wam 1 r Si- M .

The Industrial Arts Department builds its foundation on the basic principles of woodworking, draftin, and pictorial drawings. On this foundation is built the framework of our modern world. We, the students of Hamilton High are proud of the fine job that Mr. Groenheids and Mr. Van Lente are doing. Mr. Van Lente instrutls the cl, Mr. Groenheide shows a student the right way to draw mechanicallv. Miss Veenhoven reads over the German textbook. Mr. VerSchure tests out the earphones in the language lab. The German Club earned nionev and had lots of fun on their vvalk-a-thon. Communication in other lands Listen and repeat, please. Another dialogue? How do you say ' Hamilton High School ' in German? Communication. We have radio, television, and telephone, but our most personal, practical, and inexpensive means of communication is by speaking. And the only way we can truly communicate with people of other countries is to learn their language. And this is what the foreign language department does. Conjugating verbs, pronounciation of words, and knowing all the peculiarities of the foreign lan- guage are all a part of learning. Many times it seems worth- less. But when we can carry on an intelligent conversation in another language with someone, a sense of accomplishment is what we feel. The German club also had a project this year and they raised money and gave it to Mary Freebed Hospital. Both the Spanish and German clubs had various parties dur- ing the school year. Students coirect Spanish assignments as Mrs. DeVos reads the answers. Communication through music Sopranos, cup your mouths to get a better sound. When must we be at church to sing? Communication through music. Singing with voices that enjoy, but also work to sound better and fuller to others. Breath support, pitch, tone, enunciation, all play big parts in making a group of teenagers sound like a choir. It ' s not easy, students and teachers discover, but all the work is worth it at the choral concerts given several times during the year. The Sr. Chorus and the Choralaires sing all sorts of songs ranging from the popular hits of today to the songs of Handel ' s Messiah. The choirs are under the direction of Miss Ka- ren Wennell. Miss Wennell strives for perfection. Senior high choir waits patiently for one of their performances. The Choralaires work hard before their Spring concert. The Choralaires learn new techniques in singing from Miss W ' ennell. Here, art work is kept in an orderly manner. Mi,s.s Deters instructs junior highers in the art of macambre.

Tie- d e t-shirts and hankies on a clothesline in the corner. Two huge cabinet doors open, bursting with colored construction paper. The walls are covered with ink sketches, pencil drawings, water colored paintings. Shelves are stacked with wire sculptures, clay models and wooden creations, plus all sorts of materials. This is art at Hamilton. Man difterent techniques in art are tried. •t Mr. Phelps super ises ihe boy ' s dodge ball game physical fitness How do you serve a volleyball? Can we play dodge ball, today? Gym. Physical education. A semester course in which students learn different sports, how to participate, and the rules and regulations that go along with them. Students play the popular sports such as baseball, foot- ball and basketball. But then there are special days when the boys and girls can play the fun games such as dodge ball, Chinese soccer, and softball. The days when they can play on the skate boards and have relay races.

Members of the Class of 1972 What do 15 million teenagers in America have in common? High School. In school buses and corridors from Boston to San Diego the same pranks are pulled and the same topics are discussed over and over. Thousands of big games are interspersed among myriads of big tests. The cycle of studies, games, club meet- ings, and nights out is universal. Hamilton High School is only a drop in the bucket of American education; but its 1972 Portrait, though produced by and about Hamilton students, is probably a fairly typical pictorial review of small-town high school, U.S.A. True, we have a preponderance of Dutch names, and possibly there is evidence of related values and traditions. These ought to be incidental to the message of this book, however. If, as you peruse this record of a year at Hamilton High School, you discover only empty traditions, subtle ridicule of program and practices, indifference toward those who were here to serve you, then together we have failed in our efforts to make high school the kind of experience it should have been for you. But if pag- ing through this book produces recollections that make you feel good, then our school has attained a measure of success. To the extent that this is true, Hamilton isn ' t just another high school— it ' s something special. I sincerely hope that the pages which follow will bring back happy memories about people who cared and about lessons that have added meaning to your life.
