Bottom: Lynn Fritzche, Jerry Carey, Steve Hacker, Stuart Lowitz, Leslie Ringle, Larry Vitatoe, Russ Whitehill, John Benzing, and Mike Yerigan are seen coming through the lunch line in the picture below. Lunch periods are thirty minutes long, and students are dismissed to the cafeteria by floors. Top left: From the landing of one of the center stair- steps, Billie Jean Baker, Bob Lindy, Owen Baker, Norm Settle, Mark Cohen, Ted Armstrong, Sue Noe, and Judy Cecere were seen as they attempted to put themselves at least one floor higher within the four minutes allowed for passing from class to class. Crowded halls and stairways prevent smooth passage from one room to another, but Hamilton High stu- dents carry on in a school designed for a much smaller student body. The facilities at the two new high schools provided for by the bond issue will be a great improvement over those that exist here. Because it is necessary to add more courses to the curriculum from time to time, the space provided at this old building is no longer sufficient. In the new buildings it will no longer be necessary for students to share hall lockers, and gymnasium accommodations will be much more modern than the outmoded locker rooms in this building. Teachers will find that they have more storage and in- struction space. i -R .gi 5 ,, f 2 H Q i ,-'L ,ff x Nw X . ,www

ln the picture at the right Barbara lssacs is putting her shoes in her locker. Before and after each gym class, the girls must put their valu- ables in the small lockers which are furnished by the school to each student. Books and clothes have to be placed on the benches because of lack of space in the locker room. ln the picture at the left a group of students are shown hurry- ing in the crowded halls to get to their next class before the bell rings. The ringing of a tardy bell is something new this year at H.H.S.

1 . K Despite conditions characterized by overcrowded classrooms and inadequate instruction space, Hamilton High's scholastic standards remain at a high level. Our cur- riculum stresses sciences to a greater ex- tent than in the past. For laboratory work the biology rooms will be larger and have better lighting and equipment. Similar im- provements will be made for the benefit of future typing classes, and art students three years from now will find more display and storage space than is provided for at the present. 'seeks eww . Improvements in office accommodations will include more space for first-aid facili- ties. Under the conditions now existing, the nurse is hindered in her work. Top right: The health of students is important. For this reason, the nurse is an indispensable member of the high school staff. The nurse's office, although crowded, contains all the facilities for practicing first aid. Our school nurse, Mrs. Grant, is shown in the picture bandaging Shirley Moe's wrist while Ann Stitzel looks on. Overcrowding Causes Difficulties Bottom: For those students who would rather not carry so many books home every afternoon, the study halls in the cafeteria and larger rooms provide the opportunity to finish some homework at school. In the picture below, iuniors Carol Colwell, Sandy Kalberer, Joan Getz, Joan Brown, Nannie Horton, Gerry Wyatt, Barbara Kroeger, and Betsy Martin study in the south lunchroom as Miss Gilroy and Mr. Cahill supervise.
