S. in the fall of 1954 with Miss Leta Swisher as our guide and forty- six members in our troup. We elected Virgil Wood for our President, Orvetta Short, Vice Presidentg Jack Foster, Secretary and Treasurer. Our first year was spent in getting acquainted with our fellow class- mates and the upper classmen and in getting adjusted to our new surroundings When we assembled again in September, 1955, as Sophomores, we found several faces missing but those of La Verna Myers, Allan Mathews, and Elver Stauffer added. For class officers we chose Mickey Reser for Presi- dentg LeRoy Covert, Vice President, and Bill Gabbert, Secretary and Trea- surer. That year we stepped out to assert our rights and perform our duties with a will. The next year when we gathered again for our Junior year we found a greater loss, some of which were: Charlotte Caley, Ernest Foster, Margaret French, Mickey Reser and last but not least--Miss Swisher. We soon dis- covered an excellent successor in Mr. Custer, and found Joy Tarrant and Geraldine Rush as additional members of our class. We saw that Everett Cannon could successfully perform the duties of president so we proceeded to elect him to that office, with Harold Cartwright as Vice President and Mary Elizabeth Murrell as Secretary and Treasurer, who was succeeded by Vola Pearl Wallace when Mary Elizabeth and Bill Gabbert moved from this district. The success of the play entitled nThe Cat O'N1ne Tailsn under the direction of Mr. Custer and the efforts of the cast which consisted of: Allan Mathews, Richard Behmer, Orvetta Short, Phyllis Long, La Verna Myers, Everett Cannon, Keith Bonezkowski, Etta Brothers, Vcla Pearl Wallace, Mary Elizabeth Murrell and Frank Keatingg enabled us to give a rather nice Junior-Senior Banquet. This year as we came back to be called the dignified senios of good old Hamilton High School, we found a loss of two or three, Peggy Carey, IvalQ6?Johnson5:and poelia Ramsey, who is with us again, and a gain of six, namely, Melba McGhee, Berniece Gott, Claude Shaffer, and three for- mer members--Charlotte Caley, Earnest Foster, and Margaret French. We re-elected Everett, president, chose Virginia Clopton for Vice President and divided the office of Secretary-Treasurer between Margaret Wright and Della Christlieb, respectively. During the basketball season six members of our class were chosen as Mr. and Miss Hamilton. We can also boast of having the King and Queen Hamilton taken from our group. We are represented in Band by five members and nine members of the Orchestra are seniors. The entire cast of the One Act Play and the two extemporaneous speakers entered in the County Contest consisted of Seniors. The play which has been chosen this year is nMistakes At the Blakes.H The cast includes: Richard Merrick, Orvetta Short, Berniece Gott, Richard Behmer, Everett Cannon, Doella Ramsey, Virginia Clopton, Harold Cartwright, Etta Brothers, Phyllis Long, Keith Bonczkowski, Howard Black and Margaret Wr ght. --Margaret Wright Motto: nClimb though the paths be rugged.n Flower: Yellow Rose Colors: Lavender and Gold B -un J Page 5 4 ' ..-i L Clair Barb: Richard Behmer: Howard Black: Keith Bonczkowskiz Etta Marie Brothers: Charlotte Caley: Everett Cannon: Harold Cartwright: Della'Chr1stl1eb:: Vlrvinia Clapton: LeRoy Covert: Kay Flubarty: Earnest Elmer Foster: Marparet French: Bernice Gott: Earl Hampshire: Helen Hancock: Dorothy Hauge' Phyllis Long : Allan Mathews: Melba McGhee: Richard Merrick: 9orothy,Mossman: Robert Mos sman: Laverne Myers: Doella Morris Virgie Gerald Ramsey: Ratcliffz Marie Reid: ne Rush: MEET THE SENIORS: Orchestra 2,5,4: Glee Club 3,4: Band 5,4: scholarship 2: Science Club 3,4.

The year, 1955 rolled around to behold another group of Freshman that were just a bit extraordinary. One reason was that our class was larger in number and perhaps more mischievous. The class officers of that year were: President, Freida Hollander, Vice-president, Rachel Braun, Secre- tary, George Rinkerg Treasurer, Dorothy White. The class found that all these years they had been sheltered by a shell from the more rugged ele- ments of life. Each took it upon himself to find out what lay concealed in the future and the year closed with each inquisitive mind having achieved a small bit of sophistication. As Sophomores of 56-57 the class found some of its members gone only to find new ones to take their place. The class soon found itself going places, with Preston Scott as president, Olive lobster, vice-president, Rachel Braun, Secretary and Floyd Dawson, Treasurer. After looking around it became visible that each of the class had a little more knowledge of practical experience such as any sum er vacation can teach. The sophomores presented a banner with the Tiger emblem on It, to the Hamilton High School. The Sophcmores adjourned with minds that had absorbed a minimum of that which was bestowed upon them. The entire class bid the year good-bye and welcomed the triumphs that were to be found in the following year. The Freshman of 1955 and 56 have now transformed themselves into the more nearly dignified Juniors of 57-58. With its 'Wagon Hitched to a Stern the class is finding itself advancing to its designated place of honor. The following officers assumed their duties after another class election: President, Daisy Christliebg Vice-president, Phil Wilsong Secretary, Ethel Barbg Treasurer, James Barnes. The days in the coming school term were filled with work and much application. First a Junior play nThe Go-getter' was presented. The play was deemed a Kcontlnued on Page 183 J Page 10 -Yi Y ,sur SOPHOMORES First Row: L. Johnson, Carl Curtis, Wallace, Evans, Reid, Sloan, Sanderson. Second Row: McMurray, Clopton, Henry, Barb, E.

In the football season of l937, forty-five of the schools huskiest, and most outstanding boys, reported for practice. As the practice season pro- gressed the boys showed excellent football ability. The season opened at Eureka with the Crimson Tornadoes. Much to the surprise of the crowd, the Tigers were defeated by a score of 7-O. The next game was with Hartford here. The Tigers came back with a strong defense and showed their football proclivities by defeating them l2-O. The oncoming game was with Gridley. The boys felt they had a score to even with the boys from Gridley for the game the year before. Much to their regret they lost a game 12-6. Their next game was at Florence. According was about 14 points better than our boysg but with hard football the boys lost by only one touchdown. The next here. With all the breaks going the other way the boys very hard fought to dope Florence fighting and clean game was Altoona lost 7-O. The next week they went to Madison. This game seemed as though it was going to be a win for Hamiltong but in the last half the breaks started against us and we lost by two scratched touchdowns. The following game the boys seemed to have regained their old fighting spirit to defeat Leon, a strong Butler County team 54-O. The ensuing week the boys journeyed to Council Grove, leaders in their league. They were doped to win by 20 points at the least, but by running the right plays at the right time and by playing good clean football the boys tied the score 7-7. By this time we felt we were ready for the strong Emporia team but to our surprise we were beaten 26-O--thus ending our football schedule. Seven veterans of the 1956 squad answered the 1937 call to the pigskin, and the remainder of the squad was made up of tenderfoot material. Seven veterans sound like a wealth of material until it is discovered that some fill duplicate positions, and few had experienced such key positions as end and backfield. So Coach Bender commenced the 1937 season. And though our opponents boast the long end cf the score in seven out of nine games, the Black and orange eleven were spoken of as a dangerous foe and were frequent- ly commended for their clean and aggressive fighting. The following men lettered this year: Keith Bonczkowski CCaptainJ: Howard H Black CCaptainJg Earnest Foster, Everett Cannong Richard Merrickg arold Cartwrightg Morris Ratcliffg Elver Staufferg Richard Behmerg LeRoy Covertg Glenn Dawsong Billy Henryg Dallas Sandersong Dale Wallaceg and Don Brown. The following boys made provisional letters this year: James Barnes, George Rinker, Kenneth Bonczkowski, Francis.Evans, Charles Covert, Leond Jones, Raymond Kerr, and Harry Sherman.

From reporting for practice during the season Bender was a team which played exceptionally fast from the start the season. rather poor start in their first game due to their lack the Tigers began to get under way, but for the first few games the followers of the team were constantly kept out of their seats and on their feet by the close games that were played. But as the season grew older, it could be noticed that the new men who had made a first place berth were beginning to function more per- fectly, and with this increased smoothness came a better working team. During the season, however, the Tiger squad encountered many dis- couragements, yet the morale of the team never seemed to waver. The team reached tounament in Bluelbirds. its season's peak during the Toronto Class B Elimination which they won first place by defeating the strong Virgil Bender has had difficulty in keeping the entire squad intact during the season. Some of the members were on the bench at different times for a week or two, either because of scholastic trouble or be- cause of illness. Coach Bender is making no excuses for the team's performance, however, and those who have followed the Tigers through their season's play agree that they need none. Only by the boys stick- ing to a long and hard grind, with much patience and perserverance on the part of Mr. Bender have the results been as favorable as they are. Opening the season, after only about two weeks practice, the Tigers went to Toronto to play their strong team. Playing without the aid of their basket eyes the Tigers were defeated 28 to 9. The second game of the season was with the strong Madison Bulldogs who had defeated the Eureka Crimson Tornadoes two games. The last few minutes of the game saw the score change hands several times, but Ham- ilton finally emerged with a 24 to 22 victory. The third battle, another thriller, was with the Virgil Blue Birds which the Orange and Black won by the close score of 16 to 14. Not being satisfied with two 2-point games in a row, the Tigers played Reece the next encounter, and won by the score of, believe it or not, 26 to 24. Making it four in a row, the Hamiltonians bowled over the lanky Severy team by the margin of 25 to 13. Roosevelt High of Emporia came next and defeated the Tigers by the score of 27 to 19. The remainder of the season showed the results to be: Hamilton 25, Climax 205 Hamilton 20 Madison 21: Hamilton 26, Climax 253 Hamilton 35, Piedmont 243 Hamilton 23, Virgil 303 Hamilton 16, Reece 25g Hamilton 53, Burrton 50. These were the results of the regular season for Hamilton and im- mediately after the Burrton game, the Tigers began preparing for the State Tournaments. Hamilton had won the State Class B Elimination tournament for 5 years in a row, and this year were determined to make it number four. Drawing a bye in the first round, the Tigers drew Climax for their second round game, and defeated them by a 36 to ll margin. In the semi- finals Hamilton defeated Toronto 53 to 27, moving into the finals. In the finals the Orange and Black defeated Virgil after a hectic battle, 24 to22. In the Regional tournament Hamilton won the first game from Severy by a score of 27 to 16, but lost the second game to-Toronto 29 to 26. Squad Picture. First Row: Lewis, Brown, Merrick, F.

Composed mostly of Freshmen and Sophomores this scrappy little aggregation showed that although two or three let- termen might be lost at the close of this year by graduation, there will be plenty of talent for the next two or three years. Most of the members of the team showed that they had plenty of fight for their size, and wherever they played they proved to be favorites with the crowd because of their classy handling of the ball. All members of the second team will return next year, and most of them, with a little work, will be holding down a place on the first squad.

Fbr the past three years there has been girls athletics, such as basketball, tennis and other sports, in which we participated with other schools. This year at the opening of school the G.l.A. was organized, following the example of many other schools in the state. This year there is no interschool competition as there was previously, but in its place we have intra-class competition. The G.A.A. organized by choosing standard uniforms and electing their officers. The officers elected were: President, La Verna Myers, Vice President, Vola Pearl Wallace, Secretary, Ethel Barb. Following the elec- tion a constitution was drawn up and sent to the state. Upon the state's approval we received a membership card. In the opening weeks of school there was a number of sports the girls participated in: archery, tennis, golf, soft ball, and track. In the col weather when impossible for outdoor sports there was basketball, clogging, deck ennis, folk dancing and preparations for the Mmy Fete to be given May 2. The Queen of the Fete this year was Dorothy Mossman, who was elected by the group. d ml E5 gg Ccontinued on next pagej Page 17 W 5 1l G.A.A. fcon't.J At the end of the year state and local awards will be given to the girls that have earned enough honor and health points, and also for having participated in one activity for sixteen weeks.

The Juniors have originated an action which will probably be- come a tradition down thru the years. It is choosing a King and Queen Hamilton of the school year. The decision is based upon the ability of each student to be a good sport, their popularity among the school body and their ability to be a good student. The class as a whole has passed from a conglomerated archi- pelago to a class which has a pedigree worthy of mention and con- sideration even though there are some cannibalistic traits which have not yet been assimilated. The group is looking forward to next year with its sophistication, distinction, and scholarships which fanthom great depths of knowledge. This will be the last responsive chord of the classes history and its greatest epoch. --Daisy Christlieb Ethel Barb. 1 T. T. A. Club The T. T. A.

To provide an interest for all, members of the club were divided into three groups--First Aid and Home Nursing, Cooking, and Personality and Clothes.

Band The band with its twenty three members have been very active this year. They started with no experience of having played in a band, and under the direction of Miss Ott, have journeyed along the road of progress accomplish- ing whay they attempted to do. Combined with their great progress they have brought a set of black and orange band capes and caps which really give color to the group. They have provided pep at all of our home football and basket- ball games making things lively sending forth their good spirits. The band also took their pep to the Madison football game and a basketball game at Reece. The day the county basketball tournament was held here they played for every game. The next day they were invited by our Eureka friends to bring their band and share their pep with them. The band played in the Armistice Day Parade at Emporia doing it in an excellent way. It has made our pep chapels really ring and made them much more successful. The band will not lose more than six members this year so they are looking forward to having most of this year's members and a great many new ones next year bringing with them greater success than ever. Chorus The vocal division of the music department consists of the boy's and g1rl's glee clubs, the chorus, made up of students from both glee clubs, and the girls' quartette and sextette. This year at Christmas time the group presented the annual pageant 'The Nat1vity,N which was a great improvement over the one given last year. The girls sextette and quartette sang in the chapel program presented in Madison this spring. 0 'V ,J 'R' Page 20 -1- 8 ee aa- CQ On March 8, with the help of the band, the group presented the num- bers to be entered in the Music Festival, April 1.

It was once said, nThe keenest anguish known to man is the pain of a new idea.W We challenge this statement because our club was organized for the purpose of getting new ideas and view points on current problems Our club deals with social, political, and economic conditions. This is done to promote interest among all the members. It's been fun! We be- lieve not one of our meetings has been or would be tiresome even to the most easily bored. As organized last year, the club was called the Forum but this year the name was changed to fit our ideals. Miss Martin, who was ready and willing to help us organize last year and is still lending her helpful hand this year, should be given much credit for her constant work and helpful suggestions. The officers this year are 3 President, Allan Mathewsg Secretary, Ethel Barbg Program Chairman, Genevieve Mahoneyg and her assistants, Elver Stauffer, Olive Webster, and Joy Tarrant. The remaining members are Doris Jean Hancock, Billy henry, Elma Mae Johnson, Marjorie Oliver, Virgie Reid, Fredia Straily, Mary Stone, and Glee Tarrant. The most interesting topics disfussed this year up to the present time were the ones on Movie Day and Crime. The leader on Movie Day told us the manner in which movies were made, how sounds were made, and how scenes, such as water falls were made. She told us of the kinds of clothing the actors wore and how expensive it was. Crime day was one of our most interesting discussions. On that day the meeting was con- cerned with the causes and ranking of crime among the different nations. It was found that the United States ranked far ahead of all others in crime. Plans for the future include a study of safety and the giving of a safety play by the club members. H CLUB The H Club was organized Wednesday, April 25, l956 with Mr. Bender as sponsor. At the beginning the had 18 members. This year the club has been working in many ways to help in the school's activity problems. The members have been working on the towel problem and by the beginning of next year they plan to have a towel checking system ready for use. The club has made money this year by selling ice cream bars at the dif- ferent games, and they are buying a time clockswith the money made. At the opening of the school year the H Club had 8 members left from last year. They were: Dale Wallace, Dallas Sanderson, Harold Clinton, Everett Cannon, Howard Black, Keith Bonczkowski, LeRoy Covert, and Richard Merrick.

Fbrensics The forensics division of the speech activities consists of two divisions--interscholastic debate and the County Literary Festival. This has been one of the most successful years in the forensics division that amilton has had. Although the debate squad did not win a great many of their debates they did obtain valuable experience that will benefit them in later life. The question for debate this year was: Resolved: that s P -Page 23 1 the several states should adopt an unicameral system of legislation The following students were out for debate: Everett Cannon, Allan Mathews, Kenneth Bonczkowski, and Helena Henry, debating affirmative, Le Roy Covert, Berniece Gott, Joy Tarrant, and Marjorie Oliver, de bating negative. Tournaments attended by these debaters were at Burlington, December 19, and at Reading on January 8. On February I 12, four Bernieoe Teachers The year the speaking debaters, Allan Mathews, Everett Cannon, Le Roy Covert, and Gvtt participated in the District tournament at Kansas State College at'Empor a, placing third. County Literary Festival was held on March 14 at Hamilton. This entries in all three divisions, declamation, extemporaneous and the one act plays, were the heaviest for some time. Hamilton made a highly commendable showing, placing in four of the six places. In declamation, Roslyn Weaver placed second, with her reading UJanen, a cutting from Seventeen by Booth Tarkington. In Extemporaneous Speaking, Everett Cannon, speaking on nThe Background of Japan and China,n ranked first, and Allan Mathews, speaking on nThe Worker's Viewpoint on Labor Situationsn, ranked second. In the one act play division of the Festival, Hamilton's play nThe First Dress Suitn by Russell Medcraft placed first. The char- acters in the play were Orvetta Short, Phyllis Long, Richard Behmer, and Richard Merrick. This is the third year in a row that Hamilton has won the one ace play contest, and we are looking forward to making it number four, next year. All of the entries in this year's festival were under the direction of Mr. Custer. Fresh1e's Lament!
