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. PAGE 46

THE BREEZE 19 4 7 S C h o o l N e W s THE HAI.LOWE'EN PARTY The annual Hallowe'en party which was fhelfd: on October 31 in -the Hampton High auditorium by the sophomores for the green freshmen was a very entertaining affair. 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 -.
