WE EliLY FiEU 1 El xv ' N E . l . i 5 , V Review of year As we look over the school year, many memories both sad and pleasant come to our minds. To the Senior Class who will be graduated this year these events shall always remain fresh in their minds. Although it is impossible to record all of the numerous incidents which interested us, we have tried to re-. call to you those which seem most important. To the under classmen they will serve as a connecting link between them and the Senior Class of 1923. The number of students this year greatly exceeded that of last, our en- rollment reaching one thousand. The number of rural pupils is greater this year than in previous years. There are one hundred and fortygeight tuition pupils, fifty-seven of which are freshmen. A number of these pupils 'rank foremost among their respective classes. p U The school spirit was especially go od this year, under and upper classmefl alike joining in the school activities. , 1 ' Ten new teachers entered Hamilton High: Miss Culhan, who teaches Bookkeeping, Miss Hillhouse, teacheraf Sociology and Modern 'Historyg Misa Zartman, Spanish, Miss Mac Nielan,who teaches freshman and sophomore English 5 Miss Ferrenbaugh, Mathematics, Miss Graft, a graduateof our own school, teacher of Ancient Historyg Mr. Fludder, freshman. Manual Trainingg Mr. Arnold, Civics and English, and Mr. Hammerle who teaches Commercial Geography, General Science and supervises the work of the Annual Staff. All of these teachers became very popular with the student body and cooperated with us in all our school activities. This year has been a remarkably short one, giving us an extra vacation of one month. However, the teachers do not share our Joy since their salaries have been unexpectedly decreased. i The various classes elected their officers choosing David Redlin. George Lockman, and Edward Niederauer as presidents of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes, respectively. gf' , The Athletic Association made plans for the coming year, choosing Charles Mason as president. Under Mason's leadership the foot-ball season was more than successful. We can never forget the joyous day when we came off victorious in the annual battle ,with Middletown. The never-to-be forgotten score was 21 to 0, favor of H. H. S. We only hope thatthe teams in the fu- ture maintain this record. The first play of the season was Miss Lulu Bett written by ZQna Gale. This play, which is a 'satire on American life in a small town, .won the Pulit- zer prize in 1921. The play was a great success, all of the characters taking their parts admirably. Much credit is due Mr. Fichter for his excellent coach- ing. , ,, , . 1 Palace Nite maintained its past record of being one joyous event of the year. The photo-play was Miss Lulu Bett and the comedy an-W appropriate ioot-ball picture. We shallalways remain indebted .to Mr. Meyer for his indness. , During the Christmas Holidays there were many parties and social events PAGE 15

Y V in E EYiLYl B gf but most of these will be kept sacred in our minds, diaries, and memory books. One event of special interest was the Hi-Y Prom . The Hi-Y play, Quality Street , was the next feature of exceptional in- terest which will long be remembered by all who saw it. A great deal of new ability was discovered in this play, besides the excellent acting of our already acknowledged actors and actresses. Three Cheers! At last the Board of Education has granted a High School Gymnasium. Every one will be allowed to take a course in this work and with the freshmen and sophomore classes it will be compulsory. Everything comes To him who waits , is certainly true in this case. There was an unusually large number of assemblies this year. A number of these assemblies consisted of illustrated lectures. Some of special interest were: The Four Seasonsn, which 'we obtained through Mr. Schwalm of the Jewel Theatre, and slides on Yellow Stone Park. The R. O. T. C. Boys pre- sented Julius Caesar and Betsy Ross . Mr. Meyers of the Palace Theatre gave us the opportunity of seeing Manslaughter free. Needless to say, there was a large crowd of High School pupils and teachers, headed by our band, pushing their way madly into the theatre. Another assembly of special interest was the one on better speech. Mrs. Richards, professor of English, of the teacher's college of Oxford, addressed us, followed by a playlet given by the Hi-Y girls. Mr. Lebo's chorus of girls sang some classical songs which were greatly appreciated. The basket-ball season was one to be exceptionally proud of. Year by year in every way they're getting better and better. This certainly applies to our athletics, both boys and girls. Mr. Pim Passes By is the next event of importance. Although this play was presented by The Community Drama League, it is looked upon as a High School play, for many pupils sold tickets and boosted it to the best of their ability. We can never forget the excellence of that play and of the char- acters who took their parts so admirably. In all labor there is profit . said Franklin, and this still seems to be true. The E pupils went to Cincinnati to see Hamlet . The number of E pupils is not as large this year as previously but perhaps it is due to the shortness of the school year. At least,we hopethat our interest in high scholarship is not decreasing with time. The base-ball and track teams were again up to the school's high stand- ard and deserved the support which they received. Of course, the seniors arenft conceited but really 'fThe Charm School was a great source of pride to the school and especially to the senior class. We will always remember this play which showed a great deal of practice and ability in the part of the characters. Again we must praise Mr. Fichter for his excellent coaching. Last, but not least, was the Class.Night. and,Cornmencement Exercises. To the seniors these were the happiest and saddest moments of their lives. Now that we have finished the wonderful year of Hamilton High, we wish to say farewell to those who remain behind us and wish them all the good luck possible. Although the seniors will now join the Alumni, they shall always look back to dear old Hamilton High with yearning for the friendship and faces which made these four years the most eventful of their lives. In parting, we wish to say Good-by, good luck to all. ...-....W,. l l 5 I l .-3 l an-ig 1 Z ! 4 4 I ,cg 'i . ' l ,i K, li X I S ll 1 l PAGE 16
