Hamilton III

December 1972

Goblins, clowns, Spanish senors and senoritas and even a robot paraded, danced and ate hot dogs, cup cakes, and drank soda on Halloween afternoon in the gym. All the goodies were donated by the parents, as was the presence of some mothers who participated and enjoyed the festivities with the children and teachers.

That same week notices had been posted that registration dates, time, and place were all week, during the last half hour of school in the office, Most pupils performed their civic duty and registered, thereby enabling them to climax the experience by casting their ballot on election day in a beautifully patriotically decorated hall polling place. The children were all delighted with this new learning experience.

Now at Hamilton Branch 3 everyone is raving and buzzing about its 4th Annual Book Fair. Books of many interesting and varied topics such as biographies, adventure stories, science, crafts, and mystery stories will be included. The books will be on display and may be ordered on November 13, 14, and 15 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Notices and invitations have been sent to many near and far parts of the city. You, too, are invited.
