in ,Mcmrfriam JOE DAVIS JOHNSON Sept. 3, 1942 - Nov. 16, 1957 Remember him? We do, and we're sure you will too, because he was a student here at Hampshire High not so very long ago. It seems only yesterday he was listening to the World Series, or planning basketball strategy. He was really a swell fellow and loads of fun even if he did detest Biology fwe can understandy. He seemed to be a happy-go-lucky sort of guy, but underneath life was some- thing real and precious. For him life meant overcoming obstacles that we took for granted. It will be good if we can accomplish as much in our years as he did in his short lifetime!

Hundreds of students have gone out from this school to take their places in all walks of life. The records of achievement they left behind and measures Aof success which have come to them, indicate that Hampshire High was and is an institution of learning of which any community might be proud to call its own. Yes, Hampshire High School stands as a monument to education. Figuratively speaking, we might say it has been a shield against illiteracyg opened the way to learning: given light to knowledge and truth: and withstood the storms of intolerance. Within its walls warm friendly truth has radiated trust and friendship among students and teachers.

K lfrinczywzlis' Message We would like to express our sincere thanks to Mrs. Cathey and her year- book staff in making our 1958 Booster a tremendous success. We believe that the new features which have been added this year will contribute greatly to- ward a better understanding of the activities of our school. To this year's graduating class, I would like to extend my earnest wishes for a successful future. We hope that you have enjoyed this year at Hampshire High School, and that you will remember your school and faculty as kindly as they will remember you. It is my desire that each student of Hampshire School will remain in school and continue to further their education. Education may cost financial sacrifice and mental pain, but in both money and life values it will repay every cost one hundredfold. Floyd L. Graham v
