All set? Let's go! ! Those were the shouts of the Seniors as they left school to go grape picking at the Hartman Farm, October 2, 1947. The Seniors had thirty-seven dollars in their treas- ury and they needed fourteen hundred. 6Big dif- ferencej. The management of the Hartman Farm had changed hands and the new management found that no preparation had been made to get the grapes and apples picked. Therefore, when Hartman Farm made an appeal to Hamilton Township for help. the Senior Class was more than willing to help. For transportation the Farm furnished a cattle wagon with bales of hay placed in it so that the Seniors would be comfortable, Most of them pre- ferred standing. Two cars were used. Ray Fisher and Dave Tyndall being fortunate enough to have them, but they really missed something by not riding in the cattle truck. Thirty-four Seniors went on the first trip and twenty-four on the second trip, which was Friday. October 4. 1947. Each person averaged about ten bushels per day. and made fifty cents an hour. lt was estimated that the Seniors made about one hun- dred and fifty dollars on the project. Those two days went down in history for the Senior Class. Each person had a partner and took one row on which to work. They all had fun racing to see who picked the most. Wlien lunch time came, everybody was so hungry they could hardly move . . . so it says here . . . but if you could have seen them running, riding in cars. hanging on run- ning boards and fenders of various cars, you would wonder about the truth of this statement. Each day about one hour and fifteen minutes was provided for lunch. From the enormous lunches that the students ate you could tell that they had been working hard all morning. After eating, most of the Seniors went to Shadeville to stuff themselves with ice cream cones, returning for work later. XY'ednesday, four boys picked apples. The rest of the students picked grapes. Friday all boys picked apples and a. few of the girls helped them. Both days the Seniors had their pictures taken by local newspapers. the -Iournal and the Dispatch. At 2:30 oclock each day everybody was ready to go back to school after a hard day's work. They sang songs on the way back, and everybody was happy and proud that they had contributed to the Hamilton- ian. W'e hope that it pleases everyone. For further information see pages -19-50.

In her little glass house of eighteen rooms on Utopia Boulevard. Katherine Armstrong was pre- paring to receive an important guest. It was one of her classmates from her Senior Class. Marcia Ever- etts, who was making her debut as Queen of the Grapes in the show Grapavina . Marcia had dis- covered that Katherine had married a multi-million- aire. and was living on Utopia Boulevard in New York. She had arranged to have tea with Katherine on the afternoon of December 14, 1968 at 4:00 p.m. Marcia arrived in a shiny, black, jet-propelled lim- ousine. The door opened automatically and Marcia stepped out. She walked to the door and rang the bell. A butler answered the door. Yes, Madame. I wish to see the lady of the house. She is ex- pecting me. Yes, Mada.me. This way please. He led her through a highly illuminated hall to a small drawing room. Marcia noticed that the butler was very stuckup and snobbish. He had his nose so high in the air that his face was barely recog- nizable. But after scrutinizing him closely, Marcia recognized him to be Hamilton's ex-basketball cap- tain. Ray Fisher. She was then announced. Marcia found Kath- erine waiting for her. Do sit down. Ray. please tell Grace to serve tea immediately. Marcia seated herself and soon a buzzer sounded. A servant entered the room carrying a tray. Mar- cia recognized her to be Grace Perry. Grace served the tea and left the room. While sipping tea and munching cookies they talked about what their old classmates were doing. It seems that Kate Schneider is the great fat lady in the circus. She has broken all records in weight . . . 8935 lbs. Martha McGrew is having quite a time rewriting the dictionary. Evidently she didnt agree with all the things that Noah Webster said. Rosetta Estep is complete owner and manager of all Scotts Dime Stores. She owns stores all over the country. and we hear she is progressing very well. J. B. Moore is official garbage collector in the large city of Lockbourne, which has a population of 160.000. Mary Jo Tope is conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. It is rumored that she is a terrific success. june Barthelma-s also has an orchestra. Some people think it is still better than Mary jo's. june Ann has taken over Spike jones' position as head of the City Slickers. Her main instruments are the washboard, washtubs, fork and knife, egg beater, butter paddle, water glasses, tin cans, and the ba- zooka. Betty Edwards is in Paris designing clothes. At present she is arguing with the Prime Minister of France about the usefulness of long skirts. The Prime Minister definitely doesn't like them. Eugene Beard is out of this world . . . but literally. Research is being made on the moon. Eugene is Sixteen there helping them to discover all the facts about gravity. Sena Decker is head dishwasher at a little cafe called The Old Washbucketn. She is up to her head in dishwater but she seems to love it. Of course you know how Sena Mae always loved to do dishes. Katie Puckett is flying through the air with the greatest of ease. She is the greatest trapeze artist in the world. She is with the circus. Ish Crabtree is a bubble dancer with June Ann's band. He is well liked by the public . . . especially by Sally Rand. the ex-bubble dancer. Faye Frazier is bull fighting in Mexico. -judv Lewis plays the part of the bull. They say that she surely looks funny down on her all fours , Barbara Wyatt is head majorette at Southern California. It looks like she is there to stay. Ralph Bethel is a famous news commentator. His specialty is Southern Cal's football games. Could it be because of the head majorette? Wilma Costlow and Imogene Harper are com- peting against each other in the Miss America con- test. Hard to tell who will win. Patty -Foreman is raising the sweetest smelling. largest, blackest. most beautiful animals in the world. It's de-lirious, de-lectable, its de-lemma . . . It's de- limit. Those sweet smelling skunks, otherwise known as the lonesome polecats. Bob Geedey is cultivating . . . a beard. It has now reached the great length of 18 feet. Kate Elam is writing a book on How to Win Friends and Keep Them'. She is quite some au- thority on the subject. Kate Hafey is the world's champion swimmer. She has swum the Atlantic Ocean twice. Of Course, with the help of a life preserver. Margie Reese is head mechanic at a certain little garage in Obetz. At last she has invented a way to put water in a radiator so that it will stay. Mada Martin is on a hunting trip in Alaska. It has been said that something that has been frozen for years can be brought back to life. Mada has found two dinosaurs and she has brought them back to life. They are probably the liveliest animals that you have seen in years. She has also found one of the supernatural dragons. He is coming to life slowly, so everybody had better watch out. Small jet-propelled planes have taken the place of the subway in New York. Sue McGarvey is the best pilot on the lines. If you are wanting to get some place in a hurry. or don't want to get there at all, just ride with Sue. Paderewski and Frankie Carle have taken their last stand. It seems that Lois Baker can play bet- ter than they. so they just gave up. and now Lois occupies the best seat in Carnegie Hall, Jean Becker is head maid in the White House. She has control of all the food. I guess that's all it takes to be president. Cities still have to have junk collectors. Some- body has to do the job, so it might just as well be Ray Helsel . . . and that is just what he is doing. He says that he makes good money. Walter Mapes holds the position of yard bird in this Man's Army. You know those ladies that eat fire in the circus? Pat Reed always thought that would be an inter- esting job, so she took up The Art of Fire-eating as a career. She likes her work a great deal. There is a certain house that belongs to a cer- tain famous artist in New York that is decorated in a way in which you have never seen a house dec- orated before. The artist is none other than Dave Tyndall. He has his kitchen decorated in Bright Red. His living room is in black and white checks. It seems that he still likes the colors of those two shirts that he wore when he was a Senior in High School. For many years the nations have been working on an organization called the United Nations. At last it has been agreed upon, and Evelyn Claytor holds the honored position of First President of the United Nations. Senator Ernest Obert from Ohio is having quite a debate with another senator about the use of schools. Senator Obert thinks that schools should be demolished. It is said that those debates will go down in history as the Obert and Obert debates, as Mr. Obert does not give the other Senator much time to say anything. .james Ross has invented a wa-y to make rain. He calls it The Ross Way of Gumboozlement If You Don't Think Things My Way Apparatus . In other words, if jim doesnt have his way, all he has to do is make it rain and he soon has everybody agreeing with him. I always wondered what that thunder- storm was for and now I know. lt was getting late and Marcia said that she just had to leave. It seemed that some one in the Senior Class of '48 had not been mentioned, but Marcia had little time to contemplate this matter. She bade farewell to Katherine and departed by way of the front door. As she was leaving, a lady went flying down the street calling Fire!! Fire! ! Marcia turned to Katherine, who explained that Betty Over- street was fire chief in this section of town. When she needed help, all she had to do was to call Fire , Marcia's visit now seemed complete. She hurried to her dressing room, leaving the sun to sink, unaid- ed, behind the little glass house of eighteen rooms. Cfaaa .jsbafory 214- 218 As Hamilton opened her doors on that September morning of 1944, she saw 75 boys and girls enter with their eyes wide and a lost look on their faces. But these characteristics of the freshmen were gone as the weeks passed and everyone made new ac- quaintances. Under the direction of the class ad- visors, Miss jones and Mr. Ice, the election of offi- cers was conducted with the following results: Pres- ident, Margie Reese, Vice Pres., Charles Davis, Sec., Grace Perryg Treasurer, Greatha Strouse. The following year there were only 59 students to carry the title of sophomores. This year found a little wiser look on their faces as they peered down upon the new freshmen. The class advisors for the year were Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Cole. while the class officers were: President, Raymond Fisherg Sec.. Grace Perry, Treas., Glen Brignerg Student Council Members, Margie Reese and Raymond Fisher. They also had the privilege of nominating one member for Queen. Betty Surber was a member of the Queens court during football season while Judith Lewis was a member of the basketball Queens court. Several of the boys were by this time participating in many of the sports. During the third year, as juniors, the school was more aware of the presence of these students, who now numbered 41. For they were now active mem- bers in many activities of the school such as G.A.A., Hi-Y, Student Council, Future Teachers Club, Mixed Chorus, Band and Orchestra. Many of the boys ex- celled in sports while five Junior girls were leading the school cheers for their third successive year. Other events of interest during that year were: Girl Shyn, the play, and our Junior-Senior Banquet, both under the direction of Miss Muir. Six members of this class were selected for the Honor Society. They were: Betty Edwards, Ray- mond Fisher, Martha, McGrew, Betty Overstreet, Marjorie Reese, and Barbara Wyatt. Faye Frazier and Grace Perry were members of the football Queens court, and Barbara Wyatt and Patricia Reed were members of the basketball Queens court with Grace Perry as Queen. Eugene Beard, as president, led the class through this eventful year with Judy Lewis as Vice President, june Barthelmas as Secretary. and Betty Edwards as Treasurer. Then came the morning in September, 1947, when these students entered the doors of Hamilton for the last time with a full school year ahead of them. To begin this year, Raymond Fisher, Eugene Beard, Betty Overstreet, and Patty Foreman were elected as President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Early in the year five addi- tional members of the Honor Society were elected. This year they were John Balzer, Wilma Costlow, Sena Decker, Grace Perry and Mary jo Tope. Many of the members of this class were leaders and officers in the various organizations. Some of the few are: Barbara Wyatt as head majoretteg Mar- cia Everett as President of Tri-Hi-Y, Marjorie Reese as President of G.A.A., Editor of the Annual and co-editor of the school paper, Betty Edwards as co-editor of school paper, Eugene Beard as captain of the football team, Raymond Fisher as captain of the basketball team, and Wilma Costlow and Imo- gene Smith as members of the Queen's court of foot- ball. Basketball Queen was Sena Mae Decker with Mada Martin in her court. Seventeen 933 it Q A A if iw? Rowl Mrs. Iune Thomas, Directory Grace Perry, l. B.

At Eagle High School, where the entire action of the play took place, it had become a tradition to celebrate Youths Day once every year by revers- ing the procedure and having the students change places with the teachers, the teachers taking the places of the pupils. Shortly before the play op- ened, Mr. Southard, the principal of Eagle High School had been run over by an automobile result- ing in his death. Two other unexplainable accidents occurred adding to the baffling mystery. Lights are flashed on and off, eerie noises emanate from de- serted classrooms, and characters were suddenly missing without warning. Eighteen A detective was summoned, but his bungling ef- forts only succeeded in complicating matters. The school board finally decided to close the school until the mystery is cleared, but the students determined to solve this thing themselves and proceed to do so in a series of comedy scenes. Not until the last cur- tain fell was it known what had brought about the strange events at the high school. The entire Senior class worked hard to produce this play and much credit is due to the behind-the scenes individuals as well as to the cast for making its presentation a success. s This play was under the direction of Mrs. june Thomas.

With the beginning of the Freshman year came the start of our high school careers. Our class was greatly increased by freshmen from Fornof, Smith Road, Clarfield, and Scioto Trail, Margie Donaldson was our class pre-sidentg Ralph Root, Vice Presidentg George Lockert, Secretaryg and Bill Notr, Treasurer, saw us safely through the first year. We elected Jay Slagle and Dolores Conley as Student Council members. Mrs. Belcher, Mr. Yoak and Mrs. Wright gathered us in under their wing at morning and noon to count noses. The Sophomore class officers were Raymond Hen- son, Presidentg Bill Nott, Vice Presidentg George Cjfewa 0 79 9 Lockett, Treasurerg and Jay Slagle. Secretary. Imo- gene Harper, George Lockett. Bill Nott and Dolores Conley represented us in Student Council. Our first activity of the junior year was our play, Nothing But the Truth , which was given on No- vember I4, and was a great success. Officers had been elected and were as follows: Jayne Roller, President: Jack Crabtree. Vice Presidentg Vivian Baier, Secretaryg Helen French, Treasurer. Student Council members this year were jack Crabtree, James Harvey, George Lockett, Dolores Conley and George Hoover. Imogene Harper and Pauline Start were elected to Franklin County Honor Society. We closed the year with a junior and Senior banquet. Twenty-four f-s Row 1 lame-s Harvey, Dolores Conley, leannine Archer, Patricia Bond, Sally lohnson, Boland Carmen. Wofking gui The junior class of Hamilton Township High School presented on November 14, 1947, Nothing But the Truth . by james Montgomery, a Broadway hit several years ago, which was revised recently on the screen with Bob Hope in the leading role. James Harvey did splendidly in the leading char- acter of Robert Bennett, who lost his job. his friends, and his girl, by attempting to tell the absolute truth for twentyrfour hours. Events which help to make this play a real com- edy are: finding out what Bob thinks of womens Row 2 Paul Baier, Ralph Boot, layne- Roller, Miss Muir, Donald Koenig, Florence Niemann. jig jail, hats, operatic soloists, and his business partners. The partners' entanglements with chorus girls, their un' derhanded business methods, and their efforts to make Bob lose Sl0,000.00, make the play exciting. We come to the conclusion that telling the ab- solute truth for even one hour could be dangerous business-trying it for 24 might be fatal. All members of the junior class deserve a, great deal of credit for the success of the play, and can be thanked for an enjoyable evening. 38 L ,Az ,.,f-ff' JA, 1 Aw. w -M 1- Laval?-I as I rr- E 5? nf,-.,, 5 www 44.

Speaking of our own squad we need apologize to nobody. We had a fighting ball club that developed as the season progressed. Since the vast majority of the squad were ninth and tenth graders. we were small in size, nevertheless only one team was able to prevent us from scoring. As a coach I have had teams with better records but I wouldnt trade any of them for this swell bunch of guys . just remember: It's a long road that has no turning! We think we can see the curve ahead! Orr: Before I present a resume of this season, let me say that it was a pleasure working with this group of boys. They had a lot of spirit even though in many of our games we faced opponents much heavier and much more experienced than ourselves. The boys were always in there scrapping. This season can be summed up in a few words. It was just a case of our boys being too light and too inexperienced to cope with the other schools. Hope: In my opinion, Hilliards had the best foot- ball team in the county this year, with Grove City the next best. Reynoldsburg had enough good play- ers to he the best, but didn't show it until their last garre. The cleanest playing that I saw was Hil- liards. so I was glad to see them win the league title -if Hamilton Twp. couldn't. Harold Holley: In my opinion our toughest game was with Grove City. They were the biggest and hardest hitting boys we played against. We had a fine bunch of boys this year, but due to our size and weight we did not make a good showing. The spirit of the team was, however, one of the best. jack Crabtree: Then came the season of 1947. When the players showed up for practice we knew the team was going to be very light and very inex- perienced. We were short on reserves. But next year we will have the experience and the weight and believe me some of the schools that beat us bad will wish they had never seen or heard of Hamilton Twp. High School. The best team we played this year was Hilliards, the Franklin County Champs, and the toughest team was Grove City. The highlight of the season for me was when I made my first touchdown of the season when we played Gahanna. The best game of the season, I thought, was with Canal Winchester, coached by our old coach, Mr. Black. The score was 2 to 2. the oddest score ever made in Franklin County football history. Raymond Henson: To me there was no special game. I wanted to win 'em all , and I am sure the rest of the boys wanted to do the same. There were two games, more than the others, that I want- ed to win, Mifflin and Canal Winchester. I used to go to school with the fellows from Mifflin and I knew them all like a book. The Canal Winchester game was important to me because of their coach, Mr. Black. He was out to beat us. We have three fine coaches-Mr. Kirkpatrick, Mr. Hope, and Mr. Orr. These coaches worked hard with us all year and we appreciate them a lot.

We will start at the very beginning because we think that the less important parts help make up the greatest thrills. One day in March, on a bright sunny afternoon. all prospects for the baseball team of Hamilton Township met in the school gym. From this day on they were instructed by the coach to work hard and give it all they had. Next we give all our grat- itude to the coach whose patience and untiting ef- forts were many times the difference between win- ning and losing. It was now only two weeks before our first prac- tice game with a large Class A school in Columbus. During these two weeks everyone worked very hard for a position on the varsity nine. It was during pa-rt of these two weeks that the players helped get the diamond in shape by grading and clearing it of weeds and grass, so it would be in shape to play our home games. Before we knew it these two weeks passed and we were ready for our first game with Grandview High School. We arrived at the field full of pep and ginger. The coach called us together for a short pep talk before the game, and one of the things he said. that all coaches tell their teams before the first game, was, to go in there and give it all you have. He also said, if you want to be undefeated, start with the first game and to take them as they come along. He told us to win the game in the first few innings if possible. The talk must have helped because we did what he said by scoring eight runs in the first two innings, and then coasting to a 12-4 victory. The spirit of our team began to rise at this point. We had more pep than ever the following week when we trav- eled to Mifflin for our second game of the season. We came out on top by a score of 14-5. We now prepared for our first league game with Reynolds- burg, which proved to be our toughest. The out- come of this game was 9-4 in favor of the Hamilton Rangers. With the first league game out of the way we all felt better as we were getting more experi- ence which means better playing. The next game was our first appearance at home. and another league game with our opponents, the Indians of Canal Winchester. The final score was 14-2 with the Rangers being on the long end. By this time we were progressing rapidly and feeling pretty good. We traveled next to Grove City to play the Greyhounds. There lay some consolation in the fact that our coach graduated from this school. The game went as the other ones had. When at the end of five innings the game was called because of rain and the Rangers were leading 9-2. This was decided to be the final outcome. The following week found Groveport the victim of a 12-2 count. This victory made us champions of the south section of the county which was divided into two parts. Worthington claimed the title as champion of the north section so we were to meet them the following week. The game was to be played on a neutral field which was chosen as Bexley. The championship of the county was at stake with the winner going into the district. The game was a see-saw battle all the way until the Rangers tightened in the last few innings to squeeze out a 5-2 victory which now made us Coun- ty Champs. We received a gold trophy, which was the first baseball trophy bestowed on Hamilton in eight years. We were a happy bunch of boys but there was still a fear in the back of our minds as the coach had been telling us we could still be beaten. Now we were ready to enter the Central Ohio District Class B Baseball Tournament. Our first foe was from Pleasant Township which was not a very well organized team. The Rangers of Hamilton did not look very impressive but nevertheless we still won by a score of 9-5. This entitled us to play the winner of Galena-Cardington game, which was Ga- lena. On the following day we met Galena at Lin- den Park. In our estimation this was the most bit- terly fought battle of the season in which the Rang- ers were able to battle out a 2-1 victory. The Rangers were now ready to enter the semi-final game of the district. We were moving higher and higher, step by step in what seemed to us like the invincible goal. On the next day we journeyed to Ohio State University to play Saint Mary's of Columbus, Ohio. The field was a sea of mud so the game was postponed un-til the following Monday. The field was still muddy when the semi-final tilt began. Shortly after the game had started there came a constant downpour which lasted about 2 innings. Hamilton was just about at their peak as they were playing one of their best games of the season. We came out on top by a score of 11-5. St. Marys pitcher had allowed 12 hits which was the most for a single game thus far this season. This win entitled us to meet London in the latter part of the week for the Central District Championship of Ohio. The day of the game was a beautiful one for baseball. Hamilton scored all their runs in 5 innings to run up a score of 11-0, when London faltered and never recovered. This victory made the Rangers of Hamilton High School the Central Ohio District Baseball Champions. And now we boys from Hamilton Township were going to participate in what we never dreamed of, the Ohio State Tournament, which was to be held at the Ohio State University. We were practicing hard to put all we had into this tournament. fCO1Zli7ZIl6d Next Pugej Sixty-five Once In a Lifetime lContinuedl Drawings were made and the Rangers were paired against Zanesville St. Thomas. The game was to be played on the following Friday morning, but due to wet grounds it was postponed until the after- noon of May 30. Hamilton took the field for the first appearance in the state tournament which was a one-sided affair with Rangers emerging with a ll-0 victory against St. Thomas. By winning this game we had to play another game which was the semi-final of the sta-te tournament. On Saturday, May 31, our game was scheduled at 10:00 a.m. against Holgate, a team from southern Ohio. This game marked the first time the Rangers were be- hind during the district and the state tournament, but this didn't worry us because we hopped into the lead which was never relinquished, making the final score 11-2 in favor of Hamilton. Then our big chance finally came. We were to play Cincinnati Terrace Park, a su- burb of Cincinnati. We boys were treated to a de- licious meal by our coach, Mr. Dwight Black, at the University Dining Hall. When we were finished, we had a couple hours to rest and relax before the big game. They wanted the boys to be in good shape for their last game together, which started at 5:00 p.m. The Rangers were still a fighting ball club, which was proved when we forged ahead in the first in- ning with 2 runs which set our opponents back on their heels for the rest of the game. Hamilton pushed over another run in the third and Terrace Park also scored a run, and that was all the scoring for the day. After the game the boys received their minia- ture gold baseballs for this great feat. We received three trophies for our splendid work throughout the season. One for winning the County title, one for winning the Dirtrict title and the last for winning the State title. There were no stars on the team, 'but each had helped the other whenever he had the chance. This means teamwork which in turn meant the State Championship of 1947.
