i eniom go grape cgunfing XVhoopee! I Everybody pile in! ! 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.

CKCLJJ pl 0l0 QC? 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.
