Our theme has been to exercise our duties with a minimum of words and a maximum of activity. Actions speak louder than Words. This is very true, and thus it is that we, the Class of '47, have given to you this Breeze. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed preparing it for publication.

Bogey, the youngest member of our class, is a likable fellow whose chuckling laughter can invariably change a sullen mood of the senior class into one of humor. Although he possesses a carefree attitude, Byron has prov- en his reliability and his sense of cooperation in a time of crisis. He has not revealed his plans for the future, but we are certain that he will be stuccessful in whatever he does, PAGE 14 THE BREEZE RICHARD BERRY APGAR S pike Spike surely is a likable chap Between his ears a smile Hlls the gap.

'47, v Dick, better known as Spike, is one of the most popular fellows. in H.H.S.-especially popular with a certain senior. Spike, who is one of our outstanding sportsmen, is also famous for his clever comebacks. Whenever you find a group having fun, you will find Spike-usually in the midst of it. We are sure that he'll succeed in his role as a mechanic because we promise to patronize his, garage. flBO'gey!! THE BREEZE EDWARD BRENIAK Brains, honesty, ambition, good looks.

With interests ranging from music and sports to discus- sion and world-affairs, ,Ed has proven himself capable of bearing that title. His intelligence and his leadership will undoubtedly be assets to him in his future as a radiotrician. l GEORGE GANLEY Happy FreckIed face, comet-top Says a little, knows a lot.

Day, '47, A contagious smile, a happy disposition and a bubbling personality may seem to be suficient reason for Georges being well-liked by all, however, his thoughtfulness, sin- cerety, and good sportsmanship are equally important factors in his, popularity. His interest is definitely militaristic, and we know he'll succeed in his Army Career. . Pncz I5 1947 GERALDINE HAUCK A wonderful girl, a maiden fair She'II make her mark and go somewhere. A.A., '45, '46, '47g Glee Club, '45, '46g Hallowe'en THE BREEZE RICHARD HART UNC1 Dick Dick is a tall lad. earnest and strong Hc's always as happy as a gay song.

Sparkling eyes and good sense of humor combined with a Brooklyn accent and an even disposition account for Dick's popularity with the fair sex. After having seen the Tree That Grows. in Brooklyn, he was so impressed that he settled on a farm in order to plant many trees. Already, we have been assured of his success as a future farmer of America.

She earned this title after her in- imitable performance as Mrs. Highgate. With her friendly nature, cheerful disposition and co- operative attitude We are sure that she will attain great success in the future, PAGE I6 , THE BREEZE EILEEN STIENE Chickie Dim,nIe in chin, devil within.

Thus it was that a new member was added to our c1ass--- a member with sparkling, blue eyes, a wonderful per- sonality and an ability to dance well. With these features plus a true school spirit, is i-t any wonder that Eileen has won many friends during her year at H.H.S.? Vife are in the dark as to her future but with her spark- ling personality we needn't fret, she will succeed. 1947 JAMES STOCKTON Jim Nervous fingers, pleasant frown, We all know when Jim's in town.

Jim may easily be classified as the chauffeur of our clss. With his willingness and cooperation he has helped our class. through its rough spots. Jim, an all-round fellow, is the Casanova of the class of '47, He seems to take special interest in a ccr.ain Senior from Glen Gardner. As far as his future is concerned, Jim's chief interest seems to be a co.lege career. We wish him success and happiness. PAcE 17 19 4 7 THE BREEZE DEAN WEBER Dean Conservative, industrious, quiet and steady, When Dean faces life he will be ready. Halloween Dance, '45: Springtime Prolic, '45g Soccer.

This quiet, industrious boy is an athlete as well as a scholar. . Although he has not 'decided wha-t he will do in the future, We are certain that he will be successful in what- ever he undertakes. i i 'i ,U y ,fc 3 fsvf l . 2 , jc' W u . . K T I, lj .

Bash, one of the most intelligent and attactive seniors hails from Glen Gardner. Because of her amiable and enthusia-stic attitude, she is another one of the very pop- ular members of our class. She admires a certain male by the name of Sunshine, but we'll let you in on a little secret-1t's her cat. Barbara's one ambition is to work in an ofiice, but we know that a certain Hampton boy will change her mind. ,. lf., ,gfgjff-f7s fg E dv isa ff 'fag' ,Q 4 'ii' 9' . , . -' '.

Our class dean, Miss Ackinson, helped us to start off on the right f-oot and thus we elected our class officers as follows: presi-dent, James Stockton: vice-president, Harold Hock- enbury: treasurer, Fred Plushanski: secretary, Eleanor Ames. During this year we became a-cquainted with our surroundings, learned how to fox-trot, and gave the traiditii-onal St. Patrick's dance which was our first social affair as stu- dents of Hampton High Sclhool. When our happy and carefree summer vacation had en-ded, 'we were off to school again. We elected as officers: president, Richard Hartung: vice-presid-ent, Byron Bogart: secretary, Eleanor Amesg treasurer, Edward Breniak: class dean, Miss Moore. Now we wer-e able -to enact the dream that had ke-pt u.s going throughout our first year--freshmen initiation a-t the Hallowe'en -dance. As full-fledged Sophomores we showed our initiative by presenting the Springtime Frolic. Wh-en we reached -the half-way' mark in our 'high school life, we elected the following to lead us through the year: president, Richard Apgar: vice-presi- dent, Edward Breniak: secretary, Maxine Norman: treasurer, Barbara Wojcikg dean, Miss Moore. In January we held our card party in the school auditorium. Despite the fact that the lunch-room -became a glowing sight, -the evening was a great success. In June we held our Prom whicfh was one of the most -outstanding affairs on the school calendar. The mu.sic of Mark Hilburn was the high-light of tlhis gala affair. Thus we concluded our Junior year, and looked with pride toward our -title as Honorable Seniors. With 'the coming of th-e Senio-r year, we admitted .a new member to our class an-d chose the following officers: pres-ident, Richard Apgar: vice-president, Edward Breniak: secretary, Geraldine Hauck: treasurer, Barbara Wojcik. Under the guidance of our class dean, Miss Coar, w-e presen-ted Take It Easy, a farce- comedy in 'three acts, wihfich proved to be a success. Our next big social event was the Senior Sno-Ball. The weather outside was frightful but inside delightful as we danced to the melodies of Gene Bethman'-s In March we fheld the annual Senior Card Party. At th-i.s -time George showed their true abilities as coffee-makers supreme. It was 'then that that their Boy Sout training ih-ad been a success. the music orchestra. and Spike we agreed During Easter week we took our long-awaited trip -to Washington, D. C. We, the Class of '47, wish to conclude our four years by extending 'thanks to our class deans who have guided us along our way. PAGE 34 THE BREEZE 19 4 7 Class Prophecy June 8, 1967 Dear Betty, The other day I was looking through my souvenirs and I happened to find a diary dated 1957. This was the only diary I had ever kept, so I decided to browse through it to take me back a period of ten years. The following entries in this diary will, I am sure, interest you very much because they concern our classmates from Hampton High School: MAY 10 . . . spent the day with a very close friend of mine whom I had not seen since graduation. She is now Mrs. Vincent Hoffman, and the proud mother of two adorable red-heads. That entry, of course, referred to you and brought back many memories of that mem- orable day we spent together with the children. MAY 28 . . . saw Professor Dean Weber on my way across the ferry from Jersey City. He says he has been teaching Trigonometry for the past two years at N. Y. U. He still lives in Hampton on week-ends, JUNE 13 . . . had a wonderful time tonight at our reunion dinner at Hampton High. The lunchroom Cwhich has changed so much in ten yearsj was the gagthering place of several of my old classmates.. Major George Ganley sat on my right, and radio-operator Edward Breniak sat on my left. Our very celebrated actress, Geraldine Hauck tells me that she has just completed a play on Broadway and will be in Weist Portal for a few weeks' rest. Our master of ceremonies, Dick Apgar, hasn't changed a bit. He's still the life of the party type, although he informs us that there are times. when he isn't too happy about repairing old, w-orn-out trucks at his garage. The next page of my diary was illegible because of ink spots. CI must have spilled the whole bottled I finally came to a few pages in the diary that were readable: AUGUST 3 . . . attended a dinner at Hotel Ebbitt where I ate a famous dish Spaghe-tti a la Bogart, which was prepared by the head chef and dietitian, Byron Bogart. As I was leaving the hotel, I heard familiar music which aroused my curiosity to such an extent that I traced the strains of music to the Terrace Room. Here I found James Stockton leading his orchestra. During our conversation he asked me what I was doing, I told him I was touring the country as a secretary to my boss, the president of General Motors. These seem to be the only pages that would be of interest to you, but yesterday I re- ceived an announcement card from our old classmate Eileen Stiene. She is, the proud mother of twin girls. And you'll never guess who my new milkman is! Well, it's Dick Hartung who now has a big dairy farm in Hampton. His motto is Keep those bottles quiet. There doesn't seem to be any more news so l'll close now. I certainly hope that l'll see you at our Alumni Dinner on June 31 this year. I hope everyone will be there to celebrate our reunion after a lapse of twenty years. ' Love. BARBARA PAGE 35 C 19 4 7 THE BREEZE Last Will and Testament We, the Glass of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-seven, beirg of sound mind and body, and in a generous mood, do hereby make this last will and testament, bequeathing the following -to our successors: Richard Apgar leaves his jokes to Mr. Acton: maybe some new corn will pop!

Gerald-ine Hauck wills her acting ability to Jennie Lechenski. Good luck in the Senior Play! Eileen Stiene leaves her rolling pin to Gloria Walton: now she can knock 'em cold. Betty Jane Witte leaves her me.thod of loving to Betty Jowittg after all, lo-ok wihat it did for Janie , Barbara Wojcik leaves her school spir-it to Morris Adams. He surely can use it! To the Freshmen: We will -our dancing ability. To the Sophomores: We give our permission to remain in school for two more years.

PAGE 40 THE BREEZE 19 4 l Baseball l The year 1946 saw the ba.seball schedule expanded to include Fren-chtown, Lambertville, an-d Fleming-ton as well as Clinton, Highbridge, and Hampton.

Goblins, witches and ghosts danced amidst the orange and black streamers which decorated the auditorium. After the freshmen, pale and haggard, had recovered from their initiations, we all enjoyed a pleasant evening of round and square dancing with -the music of Strubles' Orchestra. During the intermission sweet cider and doughnuts were served. SADIE HAWKINS' DANCE The Junior Clas-s held a Sadie Hawkins' Dance, November 21. Usual procedures being reversed, trhe girls asked -the boys and paid f-or all expenses. The aulditorium was gayly decorated in green an-d yellow. The dance was a real success and all who attended enjoyed -themselves immensely. THE MELANGE At the beginning of the second term a group of energetic students, directed by Miss Coar, got together and -decided that Hampto-n High had been long enough without a school newspaper. Between exams, book reports and other ex-tra-curricular activities they hurriedly formed a newspaper which was called The Melangef' The first issue was a great success and tfhe magazine made a big hit with the student body. We sincerely hope that ftheis newspaper will last and that it will continue tousupply an outlet for the literary talent of the students, their idea-s and opinions. JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom is -the biggest and last social activity of the year at Hampton High School. This year the custom of inviting -the members of tihe Senior Class to be the guests of honor wa-s revived. The auditorium was decorated in blue and white and was filled with flowers and candelabrum. A modern dance band gave us music and at midnight we bade farewell to the Class of '47. MOVIES This year our .school was instrumental in acquiring many educational movies to be shown on -the school's new movie projector. Movies were shown during the seventh -period on various days Uh-roughout the year. They were enjoyed by all t-he students. PAGE 45 if -. 19 4 7 ITHE BREEZE PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION The Parent-Teachers' Association, the purpose of which is to encourage a better 'undersftandving between teachers and paren-ts, completed a profitable and successful school year under the leadership of Mrs. Donald Bill, president. The membership was composed of 167 -persons. Its meetings, held the third Tuesday of every month at the Hampton School Building, were made especially interesting by' suc'h 'programs as follows: Covered Dish lunches: Educational movies: Christmas program presented by th.e reception, first and second grade students under the -direction of Miss Eliza- beth Williams: Annual card party: a play, Grandmother Nick, presented by the eighth grade students under the direction of Miss Dorothy Kroeze: and a musical program under the 'direction of Mrs. Willard Weisel. This year the P.-T. A. -obtained state aid in their milk program for the elementary students. Many students took advantage of this opportunity by receiving milk from November l, 1946 until April 30, 1947. During the school year, the P.-T. A. donated money to such causes as the Hunterdon County United Service Organization, The Sister Kenny Foundation, The Hunterdon Coun-ty European Relief Fund, Th.e Red Cross, an-d the local food relief. Plans were made .to start a project in which the P.-T. A. could secure money to buy a new stove for the :school lunchroom. Tuhe ofii-cers for this year Were: Mrs. Donald Bill, president, Miss Clara Sliker, secretary, and Mrs. Nahum Apgar, treasurer. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year the association was supported 'by only a fraction of the student body, and thus it was difficult to make progress. We will try our best to supply the teams with -the nee-ded equipment. We 'hope to have bet-ter co-operation during the baseball season.

Bash from ia great big tree and 'that's how she got her pop- lanity. Dean triied looking over a higlh wall and that's how he actually got so ltall. Eileen once saw 43 twin-headed calf, ever since then she's been known to laugh. His Pop made George al-ways mow the lawn and that's how George got all his brawn. Byron was heard laughing-he's oh, so jolly-and there he sat sucking an all-day lolly. Hartung to a farm the Dodgers sent and 'that's where he took his Brooklyn 3CCCI'lf. Etd Breniak always was a country 'hick and that's why they call him CCCEIIYYIC. Someone once heard what Betty Jane said and that's why her hair done got that red. The mountaineers -put Geraldine on trial just because she tr-ied to start a new style. Through the night air we heard a melodious bar, and then saw Jim play- ing his guitar. Out of the Senior room the Junior class tore and there, wringing her hands, stoodi poor Miss Goar.
