HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
necessity and do all in their power to help provide for the upkeep of the sports and the protection of those who participate in them.
A group of appreciative mothers gave the football squad a splendid banquet at the close of the season. I considered it a splendid token of loyalty on the part of these mothers and I thank them as well as each of the many citizens who generously donated something to help make the affair a success.
This year the Seniors are earning money for the Washington Trip individually. This plan was decided upon because of the large number in the class. The plan is working quite satisfac- torily. The profits from the Senior play, "Topsy Turvy," will be set aside for this trip. The mothers of the Junior class mem- bers will meet soon to determine whether they desire their chil- dren to attempt to go to Washington as a class. There seems to be a difference of opinion among parents as to the advisability of this trip after considering the effort it requires to stage it.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation to you for the assist- ance which you have given me during this past year. I thank you and the School Board for your guidance in helping me to mold better characters in the lives of the young people of Ham- ilton.
Respectfully submitted,
ROLAND W. PAYNE
