TAYLOR MEMORIAL LIBRARY 4205 Victoria Boulevard Hampton, Va. 23669 HAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL F orewor d In this initial appearance of an Animal of Hampton High School, we not only aim to please you, our liberal and faithful supporters, but hope to have this work lie as a precedent to our successors in coming years, an example of endeavors in the difficult blazing of the trail. If our wish—that some day this virgin trail, now hard of traveling from the unworn roughness, may in time to come be converted into a resplendent highway worn smooth by the footprints of many—may come true, then we shall count all the discouraging obstacles met and our many toilsome hours a mere pittance for the reward received. So come—let ns take your hand and lead you through this little handwork of ours. Every page which pleases you will be a delight to us, but—if any should fall short of your expectations and desires; in your outward criticism, be tolerant and we beg, lenient to us.

Mn$Sr. KRABBA STAFF 7 JOHN LEMUEL BASTIAN “Johnny” “Pluto” “Why the world’s mine oyster, Which I with sword shall open.” President Student Body ’23; Football squad ’23; Minstrel ’23; Literary Editor of Pioneer ’23. Although “Johnny” has only been with us since September, coming back to Hampton High after an absence of several years, he has carved his name in the annals of fame of the “ole Hi” and in the heart of each of the students by his wit, willingness and energy as applied to everything, helping the High School. We could not leave “Johnny” without saying something of one of his biggest assets, that which makes him play leap frog so well, his “bow legs.” What makes ’em so circular “Johnny”?—Miss Wicker says it’s the “Rickets.” FRANKLIN LEE BETTS “Frank” “Laugh and the ivorld laughs with you.” Franklin is one of those Seniors who is very full of fun and always ready to participate in some sort of mischief. He intended to take a place in the business world and we know some day he will duly secure it. But he finds it awfully hard to take thing’s seriously and we wonder if he ever will. But he does take “Virginia” seriously. ELIZABETH BOYENTON “Bettie” The secret of success is constancy of purpose French Club ’23; Latin Club ’23. “Bettie’ ’is quiet but her friends are many. Her lovable disposition is her greatest asset. Never a cross word from her. A good student, hard worker and class mate, we hate to part with you, “Bettie.” KATHERINE ANNE BUCHANAN “Kackie” “Blest ivith that charm, the certainty to please.” Glee Club ’22; French Club ’23; Basket Ball ’23 —Captain; Operetta ’22. Our midget side, center and captain—just the quickest thing you ever saw. “Kackie” is always ready to play basket ball, and never tired. Often she felt her team was about to meet a defeat, but she went in to work the hardest she could to turn the game for Old Hampton High. If the game was lost, she and the team had done their best, and that was all they could do. “Kackie” gives her best to everything—that is the kind that succeeds, as she must. Best wishes “Kackie.” 8 ERNEST CURTIS BURT “Would that each star• were a woman and I the moon.” Glee Club ’22; Manager of Basket Ball ’23; Foot¬ ball ’22; President of Literary Society ’23; Asst. Business Manager Pioneer ’22-’23; Giftorian. Curtis is one of those Seniors who likes to cut up a little, and he can do it when he gets started, too. No use to try to be serious with him for he just won’t listen to a reasonable discourse if he can pos¬ sibly get out of it. But we are glad, for what would we do if there was not someone full of fun with us? We see in Curtis the true school spirit. He has played football, basketball and backs the school in all ways—being a true Crabber, he is a ladies’ man. MIRIAM BELLE CARMEL “Music hath charm to soothe the savage breast.” Basket Ball ’23. When you hear someone just playing away on the piano, with extra pep and a tune that would make the piano stool want to dance—it’s Miriam. She is certain to win out if she continues her pres¬ ent course, for she puts exactly the same spirit and energy into everything she does as she puts in her music. Miriam is ever bubbling over with vivacity and spiritedness. MADOLYN RUSSELL CARPENTER “Smoky” “Work ' while you work and play while you play.” Glee Club ’21-’22; Operetta ’21; French Club ’23 —Secretary. Here’s to our golden haired class mate, always attractive and well dressed. Madolyn has a large number of friends because of irresistible smile and her winning personality. Being a good and willing student and friend, “Smoky” is bound to be a win¬ ner, with her valuable assets. May the world be good to you, “Smoky.” MARGARET ELIZABETH CLARKE “Cutie” “Not mastered by some modern term, not swift, nor slorv to change, but firm.” Here is a girl with a will of her own, who is pati¬ ent, earnest and deliberate. Margaret has been four years in the High School and not a complaint has been heard against her. She goes her own way and lets others go theirs. Margaret is a great talker but why hold that against her; for one knows it is much better to have a bright, talkative com¬ panion than one who sits and mopes. She must be keen of wit and quick of thought, or why do they call her “Foxy”? 9 HORTON HULL COCHNOWER “Hang sorrow! Care ivill kill a cat.” Whenever you hear some noise going on in the Senior room—look for Handsome Horton. The boys love to try and tease him but there never has been or never will come a time when they really do succeed. He’s just as good natured as he can be and because of this trait he’s liked by everyone. Best of luck, Horton, ole boy. MARGARET WILLIAMS COLEMAN “Margie” “The most manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness.” French Club ’23; Glee Club ’21-’22. Whenever you see “Margie” she is always smil¬ ing for she is noted for her pleasant ways. If you ever ask her if she knows her day’s lessons, “Mar¬ gie” always replies, “1 don’t know a thing,” but wait until report time comes and you can just bet she’s on the roll of honor. Keep up the good work, “Margie.” LYLA WINJANE COLONNA “Cullie” “Kewpie” “I am sure care is an enemy of life.” Class Poet; Operetta ’21-’22; French Club ’23. That sweet and serious expression of “Cullie’s” has fooled many. Lyla is just full of wit and likes good jokes. She plays the piano and when it comes to singing—she’s the class canary. Lyla is quite a composer, too, having written approximately twenty songs for the class throughout high school. A good student and hard worker is Lyla. Best wishes from the whole class, “Cullie.” FLORENCE COPELAND “Flo” “Knowledge is power, wisdom is bliss; All frivolous pastime, I dismiss.” Operetta ’22; French Club ’23. Florence is one of oup silent boosters. She is very quiet—always smiling, with the best disposi¬ tion ever. She can do just as much mischief as the rest of us, but she doesn’t make nearly so much noise. Florence is a good student and does her share towards helping Hampton Hi along! The best of wishes, “Flo.” 10 JEFFERSON WALKER CRANDOL “Jeff” “Joyous and happy, from care I am free, Why aren’t they all contented like me?” Glee Club ’22; French Club ’23; Baseball squad ’23. Good old “Jeff” is always on the job if Hampton High is thereby benefited. In after life we can just imagine him having’ the warmest group of friends. Who wouldn’t have friends, being- un¬ selfish and bright as “Jeff” is? He has helped us remember the sunny side of life all through these years, and we bid sad adieu to him with wishes for the greatest of good luck. PAUL FULTON CROCKETT “Be a task great or small, do it well or not at all.” French Club ’23. Paul loves music better than anything else, we imagine. Oh, yes! He likes to dance too, his fav¬ orite dance being the “Squar Dance.” He is quiet and industrious, having the stuff to make him suc¬ ceed in the future. AGNES GRIGG CURTIS “Curt” “Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke, and eloquence of eyes.” Glee Club ’22; Operetta ’22; French Club ’23. Someone said that beauty was its own excuse, but “Curt” has not been content with this. Besides winning all the beauty contests we started around here, she was always on the firing line at a foot¬ ball game or anything else calling for school spirit. “Curt” has made many friends while at high school and, having made one, she is always loyal to him. Good luck, “Curt.” To know more of “Curt” ask either of two well known young men in Hampton High School. ROSELYN CUSTIS CURTIS “Bobbie” “Too low they build, ivho build beneath the sky.” Secretary of Class of ’21; Glee Club ’22; Oper¬ etta ’22; French Club ’23. “Bobbie” is the smartest person, and we are quite sure she has “hitched her wagon to a star.” She has come nigh unto attaining perfection as a student of ghastly Math. She is a Phenomemon worthy of deep study and investigation for surely the network of association fibers which run east and west, north and south in her brain must be numerous, intricate and wonderful. Seemingly quiet -and obscure, you have but to know her to find she is the “life of the party.” Good-bye and luck—-“Bobbie.” 11 ■! $ a A v ilv i ■ Ll JOHN WALTER DAVIS “Stump” “Who mixed reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth, If he had any faults, he left us in doubt.” Baseball squad ‘22-’23. Walter is one of our quietest students. He doesn’t have very much to say in class, but among his close friends he makes up for lost time. He has been loyal to High School trying in every way to raise its name and standard. “Stump’s” com¬ panions shall miss him in the many school activities, in which he did his share. LILLIAN DEAVY “Hapy Lil” “It is a friendly heart that hath plenty of friends.” Junior baseball ’22. There is a Lillian the teachers know, and a “Lil” we know. She is always there to lend a helping hand. Her smile is her crowning glory. My! wern’t we surprised when “Lil” came to school with her hair bobbed. May she ever keep the smile and good humor she had in the days of ’23. EVELYN DIXON “Fish” “Let knowledge grow from more to more.” French Club ’23. Evelyn is a happy-go-lucky Senior, who always looks on the bright side of things. She is just brimming over with liveliness and mischief when it’s time to be jolly, but she knows her lessons al¬ ways. Such people seem to get all out of life that is possible to get. JOHN CLYDE DISHAROON “Dish” “ seem a saint when most I play the devil.” Minstrel’23; Literary Society ’21, President. Clyde was voted the biggest loafer; well, he cer¬ tainly has lived up to his name. He is really bright if he wants to be, but he just likes to be mischiev¬ ous and loaf his time way. “Skin out of it,” “Dishie.” You’ll have to pick up some day. If we all only had your attitude Clyde, how blissful this world would be. Good luck to you! 12 V V ' „. f t 7 aii 15 v,i RUTH WALTERS EACHO “Lefty” “The choicest things in life come in small packages.” Operetta ’22. “Lefty” has proved to us that small packages can carry large presents. Her smiles are a delight to us all. She is ever ready to do a favor—Ruth is really a friend to all. In every thing she under¬ takes she always puts her best efforts forth, and in this lies her success. HENRY WATSON ELLIOTT “Junie” “Thou driftest gently down the tides of sleep.” Now who could that be resting over there—no one but “Junie”. His life will never be rushed for time. No matter what turns up he just lets it slip along easy. Sometimes these aren’t good char¬ acteristics—but never you mind—there is no doubt at all that Henry isn’t coming through with Hying colors and build a happy little farm for someone. MARY ELIZABETH FOGLEMAN “Dizzy” “Her ways are ways of pleasantness.” Everyone should know her, but to only a select few is this privilege given. You couldn’t possibly talk to Mary without feelin what a sunny radiance she reflects for she is pleasantness itself. Without a doubt she is everyth.ng that we would like to be and we know success awaits her. HELEN FROTHINGHAM “A merry heart and true blue.” Operetta ’22; Glee Club ’22; French Club ’23. Helen is one of those Seniors who doesn’t keep especially quiet nor talk so much. You don’t know exactly what to think of her, but if you know her well you’ll hnd out she is filled with nonsense, as well as good sense, and wit; has a sunny disposit.on, and is a person that can drive away “those blues” with which most of the Seniors are acquainted. 13 SALLIE CATHERINE FULLER “Be good sweet maid, and let who will be clever. Do noble things, not dream them, all day long.” Catherine is small. She goes her quiet way hard¬ ly causing a ripple except among the many friends she has made and bound to her with bands of steel. To them she shows her real self. Such content¬ ment with one’s own affairs is! certain to lead to better things. MABEL LEE GARDNER “Mae” “Never worry—let the other fellow do that.” Operetta ’22; Glee Club ’22. Mabel is one of our dignified Seniors! No, she just seems that way to people who don’t know her. She is just as good sport as you want to find. Doing anything that will further the class or school, no matted how much time, work or inconvenience it may cause her—that’s Mabel. We know you’ll make good in the years to come, Mabel, as you have with us! BERNICE ELIZABETH McPHAIL GAY “And still they gazed, and still their wonder grew That one small head could carry all ( s)he knew.” Secretary Literary Society ’23; French Club ’23, President. The rest of us look up to Bernice as one who is remarkably smart and well learned. When you want anything done properly just go to her and it is carried through. If she speaks you just want to listen for you know something worth while is being- said. Although she hasn’t been with us all through High School, what she has accomplished makes us, who have been here all the while, feel ashamed of our records. JEAN HAMILTON GEGGIE “Jig-gie” “Life’s a joke and all things show it, I thought so once and now I know it.” Basketball ’22-’23; Operetta ’21. Jean’s outstanding quality is her good nature. Nothing ever seems to worry her. You can put her through the worst kind of argument and even though she loses she comes out smiling. Here’s luck to you, Jean. We expect great things of you, and knowing you as we do, we know you shall get them. 14 EDWARD MALVERN HANDY “Smoky” “Bloodhound” “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing.” Vice-President of Class ’22; Athletic Chairman of Student Body ’23; Football varsity ’20-’21-’22, Captain ‘22; Basketball ’23; Baseball varsity ’21- ’22-’23, Captain 23; Exchange editor Pioneer 23. Ed is our true “Vugjinyun.” Old “Bird-Dog.” Not spectacular, but steady, sure and reliable. His friends in school are numbered by legions, and all this is backed up by being- voted the best looking boy in school. No need to tell of his athletic ac¬ complishments. The fact that he was elected Captain of football and baseball and picked for the All-Eastern Team are his tributes. But Ed, before we say good-bye, the girls of the Class of ’23 would like to know why they call you “Bloodhound.” MARION VIRGINIA HANGER “Ginks” Glee Club ’20-’21-’22. Operetta ’21-’22-’23. Marion is kind-hearted, generous and always the same. Whenever you meet her you will be greeted with a cheery “Hey, There!” “Procrastination is the thief of time.” “Ginks” does not wait until the last minute to get up any work and then have to rush around like the rest of us Seniors. Each day finds her occupied with something. TINSLEY CARTER HARRISON “Tubby” “Harry” “All his faults are such that one loves him still the better for them.” President of Class ’22-’23; Football squad ’19- ’20; Varsity ’21-22; Baseball varsity 21-22-’23; Glee Club ’21-’22. Operetta ’22; Minstrels ’22-’23; Manager ’23; First Associate Editor “Pioneer” ’23; French Club ’23, Vice-President. He is just full of school spirit, especially showing this in acting as President of our class this year. His work in football last fall was exceptionally good, he being picked for All-Eastern tackle in high school circles. In the entertainments, plays, and “Pioneer” work around school, he has done more than his share. Best wishes to you, “Tubby.” CLARA ESTELLE HOFFMAN “Cat’s Whiskers” “I ivill be happy and free I ' ll be sad for no man.” Studious, quiet—sometimes, and witty is Clara. She is a good student and not lacking at all in that very valuable asset, school spirit. Steady and re¬ liable as she is we know her accomplishments will be g-reat and many. Good luck, Clara. 15 WILLIAM COWLES HOGGE “Hoggie” “We have yet to see him down-hearted and pessimistic.” Secretary of Class ’19; Football squad ’19; Var¬ sity ’20-’21-’22; Glee Club ’20-’22—President ’21- ’22; Basketball ’20-21; Baseball ’20; Track ’20- Manager ’22-’23; Vice-President Class ’21-’23; President Class ’22; Asst. Editor “Pioneer” ’21-’22; Editor-in-Chief ’23; Vice-President Student Body ’23; French Club ’23. To know Cowles is to like him, that’s why he is “most popular.” Although he might make “C” on that old report, he knocks an “A” in the hearts of his school mates. By his wonderful work on the “Pioneer” and the Annual, Cowles shows what he is made of. An athlete who gets there by trying. JOHN LEWIS HOGGE “Piggie” “Not over serious, not too gay, just a rare good fellow.” Treasurer of Class ’21; Glee Club ’22; French Club ’23—Treasurer. John is just a good old sport. We all know and like him for his sociability and pleasant ways. Al¬ ways a word of cheer he has for every one, and is never happier than when serving his school, his Class, and class mates. With such spirit, willing¬ ness,and cheerfulness, Little Piggie is bound to make good. JOHN THOMAS HOGGE “Piggie” “The world may ivag at will, so 1 have my pipe.” Minstrel ’23. “Piggie” is one of those boys who has plenty of pep, but won’t let go of it easily. You have to start him and then he’s the nearest thing to per¬ petual motion you ever saw. Prompt, dutiful and willing in his duties and assigned tasks, so is he in his studies. John has quite a bass voice too, as he evidenced when he “strutted his stuff” in that High School quartette, which made such a hit in this year’s minstrel. Good luck “Piggie” in all the years to come. CONSTANCE THELMA HOUGH “Connie” “Alas Alas! I see thou are in love.” Art Editor “Pioneer” ’23; Secretary Glee Club ’21-’22; Chairman Aesthetic Department of Student Government of ’23; Basketball ’22; French Club ’23. We did not think we would be fortunate enough to have “Connie” with us again but she is here and one of the merriest. This very cheerful and such a good all-around sport is one who is quite an artist whom we are proud to have. She may have her head full of drawing, teaching, and such; but wait and see one of these days, “You’d be surprised.” In time to come we will all wish for our high schooldays again. We’ll want them All Back. But “Connie” will be satisfied with her “Half Back.” 16 METTA LOIS HUDGINS “Joe Bones” “She is coy, she is shy There’s a twinkle in her eye She’s a flirt.” French Club ’23; Latin Club ’23. What would we do without her gigles and work —for “Joe Bones” is a hard worker. In fact, we don’t know what we would do when the time for the Senior “tays” comes around if it wasn’t for “Joe.” Always a good student, worker and booster is Metta! But we can’t leave her without speaking of the opposite sex—she manages equally “tays” and boys. Best of luck, “Joe.” EARLYNE HUDGINS HUGHES “On with the dance.” With such spirit, contentment and willingness, Earlyne is certain to be successful in this life. “If you can’t get what you like, like what you get.” This seems to be Earlyne’s motto and she seems to live up to it. Happy-go-lucky is just the phrase which describes her, and come what may she does not worry. Give us the secret Earlyne. We are told, “Contentment is great gain.” MARGARET AGNES JOINVILLE “Margie” “There’s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple. If the ill spirit have so fair a house. Good things will strive to dwell with’t.” Margaret is another one of our quiet students, but back of it you are sure to find a sincere friend and faithful student. She possesses all those quali¬ ties of being a dignified Senior. Having such quali¬ ties we know she will be at the top of the ladder in the years to come. ROSS ANTHONY KEARNEY “Fats” “Better a man blush than turn pale.” Football ’20-’21-’22; School Orchestra ’21-’22- ’23. Of course we all know how Ross “turns” when he gets up to say anything. He is the heavy¬ weight of the class and it was almost necessary to get larger seats to accommodate him. “Fats” al¬ ways lets other people’s business alone and always minds his own. From the way he’s doing now, we know that he will accomplish something- in the future. Go to it, Ross! 17 RAYMOND BERNARD KIRSNER “Boogie” “Our business in the field of fight is not to question, but to prove our might.” Football Varsity, ’20-’21-’22; Glee Club ’22; Treasurer of Class ’20-’21-’22-’23; French Club ’23; Manager Basketball ’21; Minstrel ’22; Circulation Manager of “Pioneer” ’23; Asst. Business Man¬ ager of “Pioneer” ’22. “Boogie” has proven his fight by playing guard on the football field for three years and coming out with flying colors. Not only here but “Boogie” has been the dandiest treasurer. If it had not been for him keeping right behind us and pushing, prob¬ ably we wouldn’t have such a grand old class finan¬ cially. MARION KELLY “Cheese” “Ever in smiles, never dreary.” Basket Ball ’23; Glee Club ’22; Operetta ’22; French Club ’23. Kelly is one of the sweetest girls, and possesses a sunny, ever pleasing disposition. She has just the biggest heart imaginable and lots of good times stored up in that bright cheery head of hers. She was never known to worry—if she has it has been carefully concealed. On the whole, she’s a jolly good pal. MAYBELLE KEMP “As merry as the day is long.” When Maybelle comes ’round all things pertain¬ ing to gloom disappear, for Maybelle and gloom do not get along well together. Her wit and sunny disposition have won her many friends, and we know they will continue to do so. Her optimistic temperament comes to aid in times of trouble, bringing her through as cheerful as ever. She is always the same—today, tomorrow, and forever. KATHERINE DREW LANGHORNE “Kitty Kats” “Better be small and shine than great and cast a shadow.” French Club ’23; Latin Club ’23. “Kitty Kats” is just a wee bit of a Senior, al¬ most Tom Thumb’s double. In spite of this she makes herself both seen and heard. “Kats’ ” pleas¬ ing personality makes her liked by everyone and she’s so gay and full of fun. She tries to make you think she’s a Procrastinator, but she just fools you because what a dandy little manager of Basket Ball she made. We know that whatever her corner of Life is, it will be ever so bright. 18 ELIZABETH CHESEBRO LARKIN “Eee” “The merry heart and, true blue.” Elizabeth is what we may call a “good ole scout.” Whatever she undertakes she always does in the best way possible, doing- her utmost in athletics, social duties and school work. Quiet and unassum¬ ing, she has many friends in our midst. Keep the good work up “Eee”, and you will certainly profit by it some day. STUART JOSEPH LOTTIER, Jr. “Cutie” “Stu” “He hath withal a merry wit And is not shy of using it.” French Club ’23. Ha! Ha! Can’t you hear the whole class laugh¬ ing? Yes, and know just why, “Stu” is around. What would we have done without him through these four long, hard years of study? His rollick¬ ing good wit and humor have made him the life of our class. “Stu” has always been a good student and active around ole H. H. S. in every way. Good luck, “Stu”, ole boy, the Class of ’23 is behind you! CLAUDE BAXTER MARKHAM “Mark” “He never troubles trouble until trouble troubles him.” Baseball squad ’23. Baxter joined us but a few months ago, and it didn’t take us long to find out what a studious boy we had in our midst. Baxter is bashful but he gets there just the same, taking part in everything that happens along his way. On with the good work, “Mark.” FRANCES ELIZABETH MAY “Spike” “A dancing shape, an image gay To haunt, to startle and way lay.” Vice-President of Class ’19; Operetta ’20-’22; Glee Club ’20-’21; Literary Editor “Pioneer” ’23; Social Chairman of Student Body. Elizabeth is one of the best social workers we have about school. She is put on all the committees because she is such a good worker and makes things so delightful. You can always have a lot of fun when “Spike” is around. She is also very popular. If you need a sport, call on Elizabeth. If she ain’t loved by one, she’s liked by all. Bright, vivacious and stylish, she makes friends wherever she goes, and you have to step lively at H. H. S. to find a place where she isn’t. 19 CORDAY SAVAGE MEARS “The hand that hath made you fair, hath made you good.” Operetta ’21. If you want a good friend with lots of fun and the like, just go to Corday, for she is always ready to have a good time. Lessons never worry her. Maybe she studies and maybe not, but she gets there just the same. Her sincerity and frankness have won for her hosts of friends and when she leaves there will be a vacancy which can not be filled by another. JOSEPH GILBERT MERRILL “Joe Tinker” “Sportsmanship, friendship and LOVE Divinely bestow’d upon man.” Football ’20-’21-’22; Track squad ’20-21; French Club ’23. Ladies and Gentlemen, now let me present “Joe Tinker”, end on the Hampton High School Foot¬ ball Team. Observe him closely, for many of you will not have another chance to see him. His other specialties are track and literary readings. His favorite song which he sings so well is “Back There in Michigan,”—There’s a reason. CLARA LOUISE MILLER “Caveese” “It’s the songs ye sing an’ the smiles ye wear. That’s a makin’ the sun shine everywhere.” Operetta ’21-’22. Latin Club ’23, President; French Club ’23; Glee Club ’21-’22. Clara always has a smile and a cheery word for every one. She doesn’t appear to be very active, but once you get her started, you have enough laughs to keep you merry. “Caveese” is a true friend and class-mate to us all. ERNEST J. MONROE “Monnie” “Not too sober, not too gay, be wise good, fellow in every way.” French Club ’23; Minstrel ’22-’23; Business Man¬ ager “Pioneer” ’23. All hail to the business man of the Class! Some would choose to have their names written upon tables of fame, but the name of Ernest Monroe is destined to be cried out to posterity through the medium of the New York Stock Exchange. “Monnie” is the hardest and most dependable worker in our class, which is saying a lot. He stands high in his classes besides taking care of the literary societies and business part of the “Pioneer” both of which he does well. His ambition is to be a minister and he leaves us with our best wishes in his life’s noble work. 20 MARGARET ANNE PATRICK “Pat” “The mildest manners, the gentlest heart.” Vice-President of Class ’21; Secretary ’22-’23; French Club ’23; Glee Club ’20 ’21; Operetta ’21- ’22; Historian. It would be a good thing if more of us had some of the modesty and gentleness possessed by Mar¬ garet. She is as full of fun as any one, but it never runs to boisterousness. “Pat’ is our Class His¬ torian and you just bet she is going to keep up to her old standard and make a great success with her history, as she does with everything else she at¬ tempts. ROBERT SELDEN “Bob” “Men of few words are the best.” “Up! up! my friend, and quit your books Or surely you’ll grow double, Up! up! my friends, and clear your books, Why all this toil and trouble?” Robert is one of our most studious boys. A shark in all of his courses and a star in chemistry. He is quiet, yes, until questioned in class, then he pours forth such knowledge as to make the rest of us sit up and wonder how he did it and why we didn’t. “On with your hard work, Bob, that is the right road to success.” ELIZABETH MOORE SINCLAIR “Sinky” “Oh! Lord who invented that kissin’!” Elizabeth’s nickname should have been “Giggles” instead of “Sinky,” for whenever you see her she is always laughing about something. Of course this doesn’t say she isn’t a good student—because she is, and she can always make our dull moments in school happy. On with the good work, “Sinky.” RICHARD FRANKLIN SLAUGHTER “Frank” “Custom hath made in him a -property of easiness.” Football squad ’22-’23; Baseball ‘22-’23; Min¬ strel ’23. “Frank” has made others think of him as a per¬ son that is not easily bothered. It would be well for us all if we remembered as he does that there is no need to cry over spilt milk. Frank has handled quite a number of things during his high school career and we believe ho is going out to handle just as many and handle them just as successfully as he ' has in the day of ’23. 21 LOIS ESTELLE SMITH “Smithy” “Night after night she sat and, blurred her eyes with books.” Secretary of Class of ’21; Operetta ’21. Lois is very quiet and studious. She hardly ever says anything in class—but she likes to have fun just as much as any of us do. She always shows careful preparation in her studies, and it is such people as this that do things. Continue the work, “Smithy” and we know you’ll come out on top. JESSE FRANCIS SQUIRE “Cowboy” “She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on.” Basketball ’22-’23; Operetta ’22; Glee Club ’22; Secretary of Athletic Association ’23; French Club ’23. “All star basketball player.” Jess is good for everything, and besides playing the game well, she is such a good sport that anywhere she goes she makes many friends. She has been a great help to the team for two years, and they certainly are going to miss her. It is going to be hard to find someone quite as athletic, for you see she was elected the most athletic girl in High School. “Cowboy,” go out and show what kind of athletes Hampton High makes. We are all behind you. GENEVIEVE LUCILLE TOPPING “Jenny” “Vieve” “Speech is silver; silence is gold.” Operetta ’20-’21. “Vieve” lives up to the lines above, saying little. But when she speaks she says something worth while, which is a great thing in, this time of all talking and little thinking. She has drifted her quiet way through the four years of High School, aiding and abetting in every way possible. Good luck, “Vieve.’ NANCY ALMIRA VAUGHAN “Nan” “Joy rises in her, like a summer morn.” Glee Club ’22; Operetta ’22; Basket Ball ’23. Indeed Nancy is full of joy and lovely friends hips all of the time. If you are looking for someone sweet, agreeable and full of fun—just find Nancy. She is every bit of this and more besides as is shown by her ready help and pluck exhibited play¬ ing basketball and in all other school activities. 22 MARGARET OLA WALTRIP “Mag” “The true strong and sound mind is the mind that can embrace equally great things and small.’’ Operetta ’21. Margaret is one of those very few girls that is fond of studying, and you can notice that by the high grades she gets. It is only this kind that ever accomplish anything. Keep up your good work, “Mag”. Besides studying, Margaret has done her part in the activities of the Class of ’23. THELMA SHERMAN WATSON “Skeeter” “Little but loud.” Operetta ’22; Glee Club ’22. Thelma is the small Senior with dark hair, dark complexion, and dark eyes. She is a faithful friend and true companion. Oh, that jolly laugh! You know certainly that Thelma is around. She was never known to study very much, yet she never falls below the standard. She isn’t a bit indifferent to boys, and her brown eyes, ready repartee and an animated disposition often act as a magnet for them. KATHERINE CABELL WILLIAMSON “Sookie” “A face ivith gladness overspread, Soft smiles by human kindness bred.” “Sookie” is so small and quiet that one would hardly know she was present except for her occa¬ sional cheery laugh and her spirit of contentment that she always carries with her. But when there is any cause for the show of Class spirit “Sookie” is full of whole-hearted enthusiasm. Best wishes, Katherine! VIRGINIA ELIZABETH WRIGHT “Ginna” “Is she not passing fair?” Operetta ’21-’22. Virginia certainly can say a mouthful when it is necessary, being quite a celebrity in the debating line. “Ginna” is a good student and “buddy” and the answer to the questionable quotation above is “More!” “Ginna” has been active, dutiful and friendly while in our midst and we bid her adieu with sadness but with good wishes for her future. 23 Class History of 23 The fifteenth day of September, nineteen hundred and nineteen, marked a momentous event in the lives of some fifty-nine individuals— members of the then entering class—and the present Seniors of our be¬ loved Hampton High School. We have assembled together for four long years to lay the foundations of our lives, which foundations con¬ sist not of brick and mortar but of knowledge and power. During the first year each of us was put to work for nine months in Ids chosen field. Here, as Freshmen, we worked diligently, taking lead in all the Drives of our school. The literary societies of which our entire class were members, met frequently and accomplished tilings worth while. During our freshman year we were greatly handicapped by the fact that the members were divided—a portion being in Hamil¬ ton, another in George Wythe, and another in Phoebus. The union of these groups in Hampton in our Sophomore year enabled us to work with better cooperation and we were able to inaugu¬ rate literary activities to a greater degree than ever before. In the competitive try-outs for the annual state literary contest we were well represented by two debaters and one declamer. Many members of our class took prominent parts in a beautiful Japanese operetta, directed by Mr. Starnes. During this year “The Pioneer”, the first school paper, was edited by Charles M. Pace, Jr., ably assisted by the following staff: Permania Snider, Paul Darling, Fred White, Asa Shields and Peters Ellison. This year our class lost many of its members—two promising young students—Guy Taylor and Edwin Foster—enlisted in the service of Uncle Sam—two others, Lucetta Webb and George Reilly, by attend¬ ing Summer School were enabled to enter the Senior class and graduate in 1922, while several others, Juline Granger and Helen Schneider, mem¬ bers of the army posts nearby, left before the session was over. The third year found us fewer in number but more earnest in pur¬ pose. Our third-year boys composed a majority of the football and basketball squads. Several profitable and enjoyable entertainments were participated in by many of the class. Especially were we proud of the first annual Minstrel Show of the Hampton Hivh School given at Scott’s Theatre. The burnt cork artists made a “big hit.” The Junior- of each year, was held at James- Senior Picnic, which is the feature town, and was great fun! The class of ’23 was very fortunate in beginning its fourth year in our handsome and commodious new building, one of the most up-to-date school buildings in the State. It not only has every facility for the school work but an auditorium seating five hundred, and fully equipped 24 gymnasium. We returned this year wiser, we hope, for the three former years training and proceeded to fulfil our duties as Seniors. The foot¬ ball team was exceptionally strong and we made an unusually good record under Captain Handy, supported by five other members of our class—Cowles Hogge, Tinsley Harrison, Ross Kearney, Joe Merrill and Raymond Kirsner, who led us to victory in several hard contested games. This year a Student Body organization was formed, including the whole school, and officered by the more advanced students. This has been beneficial in many ways, and has created a greater interest in the various school activities. The boys gave another minstrel show which was the initial school performance presented in the school audi¬ torium. Our literary society was more active than heretofore, several interesting and edifying meetings having been held. Our progress has been due much to the kindness and earnestness of our teachers. The class of ’23 was fortunate to have its first year under Mr. J. H. Brent as principal until his value as an educational leader was recognized and he was appointed the Superintendent of Elizabeth City County Schools, this position having been made vacant by the resignation of Mr. J. M. Willis. Many thanks are due Mr . T. G. Pullen, Jr., who succeeded Mr. Brent as principal because of his deep and result bringing interest in the school work. During the close contact with each other in these four years friend¬ ships have been formed, many of which, no doubt, will continue even after the separation as classmates when we have entered the world where each shall take his or her place in life. “Some ships sail East Some ships sail West With the selfsame winds that blow; It’s not the gale, But the set of the sail That determines the way they go.’’ The tie that will bind us all, no matter which way our sails are set will be the love of our dear Alma Mater. 25 Class P oem Into the hills of life, When the sun lights o background of grey, Into a forest of dreams To begin our glorious day. When the sun’s rising high in the heavens, And the grey starts turning to blue, It isn’t hard to keep smiling When victory’s com.ng to you. But when all around you it’s darkening, And the clouds are falling fast, Can you keep that cheery countenance? Are you sure that your courage will last? It’s a man who can stand temptation, And feel that he’s fighting to win, And can hold up his side the longest, Thru the battle’s thickest din. We’ll know when you have succeeded, And we’ll love how you answered the call, Oh, the sunlight’s rays are the sweetest, When they fall on a dark prison wall. Our lives are like the violin, One bad note and the whole thing’s wrong, One discord, a single string broken And you’ve ruined a beautiful song. What! ruin a beautiful song, When perhaps the strains on some soul, May rest and make prospects brighter And spur them on to their goal. But let’s not think of the songs, That |n ave been checked on the r way to the heights But think of the songs that are coming, And put up a nobler fight. For a ' song in the making is lovely, We can look with eager eyes, To the lyrics sweetest cadence, To the melodies fall and rise. And when it’s all completed, When you’ve been tested in the strife, It’s not very hard to wind your way, Down the path of a noble life. —LYLA COLONNA, ’23 Class Poet 26 PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1923 GARDEN CLUB WILL GIVE FLOWER FESTIVAL HERE An attractive feature of the flower festival to be conducted by the James River Garden Club May 10 and 11 at the Colliseum will be the children’s exhibits, of which Miss Mable Gardner is chairman.

TO URGE PROPER DANCING Miss Bernice Gay, Philadelphia’s first policewoman, who also is a dance censor, will address mem¬ bers of the Philadelphia Physical Education Society in Temple Uni¬ versity next Friday night, on “How to Abolish Vulgarity in Dancing.” The meeting was called by Miss Lois Smith, president of the soci¬ ety, after a series of conferences participated in by Miss Bernice Gay, Mr. Paul Crockett, Miss Ruth Eacho, and Mr. Joe Merrill, direc¬ tor of physical education in the public schools. The purpose of the meeting, Miss Smith said, was to give Missj Gay an opportunity to place her ideas before the phys¬ ical instructors and to formulate plans of concerted action against vulgarity in dancing. I AM A REAL SALESMAN For ten years I have been sell¬ ing everything from eyeless need¬ les to gold bricks. I have been vacationing at Sing, Sing, N. Y. from the .effects of a business transaction concerning the Brook¬ lyn Bridge. I have helped put over many big propositions, but when they have reached the point where they could paddle their own canoes, the police always in¬ terfered. I am tired of making changes. I want to hook up with something that presents a substantial future. Will do anything but marry. I don’t care what it is, so that it is plenty pay, no work, and safe. Have my own still.

Last AAll and Testament We, the class of 1923, being about to pass out of this sphere of edu¬ cation, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made or perhaps, carelessly spoken, one to another, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. Item I. We do will and bequeath to Mr. Brent some of the olive oil, that the Senior boys use, which we sincerely hope he will use to keep down his fluffy hair. Item II. We do will and bequeath to Professor T. G. Pullen, Jr., a handsomely covered book, entitled, “Give Me Your Attention, Please,” which we know he will care for with the greatest reverence. Item 111. We do will and bequeath to Miss Kitty Hope the balance left in our treasury to buy the following parts to repair her Ford: four wheels and tires, one steering gear, two headlights, one tail light, one top and curtains, one windshield, one horn, brake, clutch and self¬ starter. These accessories, we judge are all that are needed. Item IV. We do will and bequeath to the faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, sweet and unbroken suc¬ cession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake to worry over the uncertainty of whether Ernest Monroe is doing his Spanish or whether Ed. Handy is flirting with Margaret Clark in Miss Wicker’s class, or even the thought of not having corrected those Senior papers. Also to our beloved faculty, we leave all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished from time to time in our exam, papers. We have imparted to them much that must have been entirely new to them. They are hereby authorized to give out such information as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We also leave to them a mirror which they might hang between the portraits of Lee and Jackson and as they look into the mirror say, “Ah, there are three great characters.” Item V. We do will and bequeath to the Pioneer all the events of our lives, past, present and future, with, all the wonders, sensations, hair-breadth escapes, as well as the deserved notoriety and fame, trust¬ ing- they may furnish plenty of material for news items and brilliant editorials for ages to come. Item VI. AVe will and bequeath to the citizens of Hampton living between the school and Piter’s, several new fences and a box of grass seed, also our appreciations for the use of the fence for leaning purposes. 27 Item YIL We will and bequeath to the Juniors the privilege of donating to the gymnasium some of the select Junior dumb-bells. Item VIII. We will and bequeath to the “4A” class, or a better name, the Minor Seniors, our dignity, which they have already begun to show signs of having. May they uphold it forever with all serious¬ ness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance. Item IX. The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope that they will be accepted: First: To the football team of next year, the football ability of Ed. Handy, Cowles Hogge, Raymond Kirsner. Joe Merrill and Ross Kearney. We could not in¬ duce Tinsley Harrison to part with his. Second: To Stump Hardy, the straight limbs of Horton Cochnower. Third: To anyone who needs it, Curtis Burt’s bluff. Apply early to avoid the rush. Fourth: To Frances Whiting, Elizabeth Sinclair’s gift of gab. Fifth: To A. T. Hull, the sideburns and shieky ways of Henry Elliott. Sixth: To Dorothy Penny, Elizabeth May leaves several inches of her towering frame. Seventh: To Floyd Mabry and Ellen Jones, the close friendship of Maybelle Kemp, Marion Kelly and Margaret Coleman. Eighth: To Lottie Corey, Metta Hudgins wills “that school girl complexion.” Ninth: To Raymond Todd, the athletic ability of Tinsley Harrison. Tenth: To Richard Davis, Ross Kearney wills his superfluous ala scarlet flesh. Eleventh: To Angereau Hatter, Baxter Markham’s love for the opposite sex. Twelfth: To Cornelius Thompson, Lois Smith’s studiousness. Thirteenth: To Pards Johnson, Connie Hough wills her love. Fourteenth: To the first applicant, Cowles Hogge leaves that chesty walk of his. Fifteenth: To Mary Charles, the hopes of seeing her graduate soon. Sixteenth: To Eddie Sharman, that Arrow collar expression of John L. Hogge. Seventeenth: To Irene Lemaster, vamping and flirting ways of Curtis Burt. Eighteenth: To George Ellison, Raymond Kirsner’s line. Nineteenth: To Edna Brown, Roselyn Curtis’s best friend, her powder puff. Twentieth: To the Rats, the studiousness of all the Seniors, which we know they are badly in need of. Twenty-first: To those in need of a good man, Agnes Curtis wills Wilton Jones. Twenty-second: To Robert Adams, Margaret Clark surrenders full possession of Foxy’s “One Hoss Shay.” Twenty-third: To Churchill Roane, the good looks of Ed. Handy. Twenty-fourth: To anyone not in love, Clara Hoffman’s fondness for telling ro¬ mantic stories for oral composition. Twenty-fifth: To—well—no one at Hampton High, Catherine Fuller wills her hand. Twenty-sixth: To Minnie Young, some of the chewing gum stuck under the seats in Room 306. Twenty-seventh: To Evelyn McLelland, the melodious, siren voice of Lyla Colonna. We hereby constitute Joseph Stuart Lottier, Jr., executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand and seal this eighteenth day of June, Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Three Witnesses: of Hampton High School BERNICE GAY FRANKLIN SLAUGHTER ROSELYN CURTIS 28 SENIOR-A. A J{alF -more, j 30 SENIOR A CLASS 31 4-A Class History On the 17th of September 1919, one of the largest classes ever en¬ tering high school journeyed to the well-loved building to start con¬ structing the first stepping stones of its high-school career. Most of us, having been in the same building in the seventh grade felt little change in the promotion, other than being “rats,” which the boys felt very keenly. Little was accomplished during that year owing to the fact that the Seniors made us feel our unimportance. The Literary Society, formally given the name of “Woodrow Wilson,” was organ¬ ized, and the students responded with great enthusiasm. The meetings were held in two of the churches in the West End District. At last came examinations, and woe to the “rats.” We being “freshies” per¬ haps took them too lightly, for at any rate the results for some were far from pleasant. Again we found ourselves back at school, hard at work in our con¬ spicuous tasks of second-year students. The class was enlarged, pupils from the surrounding counties having come in. We were greatly elated over securing a piano for our home room and we amused ourselves by singing class and college songs. Mr. Starnes conducted the musical instruction of the whole school and in the spring the Japanese operetta “Princess Chrysanthemum” was presented with great success. “Exams” again and how surprises came right and left. All too soon September dawned and we reluctantly returned to take our places as Juniors. We selected class pins and planned for the Junior-Senior Picnic to be held at Jamestown, a novel feature of which was the delightful boat trip of about four hours along the historic and picturesque Janies River. We now instituted semi-annual promotions, and the second term of the third year found us in a new building. The first month of school little studying was done, because of the fact that the workmen were completing the building and we also had to familiarize ourselves with our new surroundings. We now have a large auditorium in which we assemble for chapel, thus producing greater sociability among the students. In February we entered the last phase of our public-school life. The work continued in the same manner with the exception of added members to the faculty, and many new activities were established. The Literary Society was revived, it having been discontinued at the termi¬ nation of the first year. The Student Body was organized and has proven a great benefit to the school as a whole. An orchestra, com¬ posed of high school students, was started this year under the direction of Mrs. Stevens. Our president, Edward Sharman, has worked hard that we should stand ahead in all problems confronting a Senior Class, and we shall leave Hampton High wiser by four years of faithful train¬ ing under patient teachers, but ever and anon we shall turn back with misty eyes to think of the happy days spent in our “Alma Mater.” MARGARET L.

Lillian Bastian and Frances Whiting, Forever together it seems, And taking the two all in all, They’re typical High School screams.

To work and study as he does, I know I couldn’t bear. As a Kin of the great general Bob would like to pose, And yet we might believe it If his was a prom’nent nose. I’ll tell you of our Ervin Smith, His mop is gentle red, He could never make a burglar, boys, His thumbmark is his head. A.

He’s a manager, an editor, And a president as well, And if Thompson furnished paper, A lot more I might tell. I wonder if Minge Perkins, Causes a quickening of the pulse, Of a certain Hampton Junior, Whom we call Kenneth Stultz. Floyd is tall, and strong, and broad, He might his Ellen take, Thus making fairest romance, Like the Lady of the Lake. He may be all right, He may be all wrong, But I might be egotis’tical, If I sung my own song. 36 37 Sophomore History On September 18, 1922, about fifty-two Sophomores were enrolled in Hampton High School. This number was composed of students from Hampton, George Wythe, Phoebus and other schools of the county be¬ sides those from schools away from here. Practically all the students seemed ready for work and in a few days the main course of study had been started. As soon as the class had gotten down to work the officers were elected, the officers being: president, Florence Messick; vice-president, Kathryn Pace; secretary, Booth Graham, and treasurer, Virginia Batten. Then came the football season in which the sophomore class showed great spirit. The class was represented on the team and much interest throughout the class was created. After football season ended the next event looked forward to was the Christmas holidays. During the holidays the class gave a very de¬ lightful party at the Hampton Yacht Club, which was thoroughly en¬ joyed by all. The holidays lasted two weeks, during which time several entertainments by the different classes were carried out. When the pupils returned from the Christmas holidays they went back to work immediately in order to be ready when the EXAMINA¬ TIONS should come. The examinations were taken, which would de¬ cide whether or not the pupils passed to the next class. The second term began on February 1st, at which time forty-two pupils were enrolled, several having been lost by failing on the exams and a few by leaving this city to attend other high schools. A few days were required to straighten schedules but in the course of the week classes were running smoothly. As great an interest was held by the class in basketball as had been shown during the football season. The class was represented on both the boys’ and girls’ teams. On February 22d another party was given by the class at the Yacht Club in honor of George Washington’s birthday. This party was as much of a success as the one which had previously been held. The class appreciates greatly the interest shown by Mr. Pullen and several of the teachers in making the affair a success. Then the holidays looked forward to were the Easter holidays, which covered a period of two days, excluding the week-end. The pupils returned from these holidays with the knowledge that they must settle down to work in order to be prepared for the exams in June. The sophomore class has had a very successful year and hopes that when the time conies for them to return to school in September as Juniors, that all of the class will be present to help carry on the work in the future as successfully as it has done previously, and we all hope that the class of ’25 will be as successful, if not more so, than any class which lias graduated before. 40 41 Fte kimm 43 Freshman Class History CLASS OFFICERS Edward Hardy Mary Jennings Charles Robert Holtzclaw ... President ..Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Here we are with a total enrollment of 191 pupils—109 girls and 82 boys—ready for four years of high school. As yet we have no special identity as individuals—we are consid¬ ered by our school mates of the upper classes more or less as a conglom¬ erate whole. However, We hope to show them our spirit and capabilities later on. All we want is time! We have taken part with enthusiasm in all the school activities, and while we have been largely getters, we have been givers too. The “Rat” football song brought us in the lime light. In athletics we were well represented on the football squad by Charles Robert Holtzclaw. The baseball nine recruited Sam Lankford and Charles Robert Holtzclaw from our members. Jean Cooney and Sam Lankford went out for basketball. Mary Virginia Curtis played the saxaphone as a member of the high school orchestra. We have taken pride and pleasure in raising money for the various school projects. Those of us who will not be extinguished may become distinguish¬ ed.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT OFFICERS Student Government One of the outstanding features of the school year of 1922-’23 was the formation of an organized Student Body, for the purpose of encour¬ aging school work and activities by the students themselves and incul¬ cating in them the spirit of self-government. The school activities were divided under four heads, i. e., Academic, Aesthetic, Athletic and Social. To each of these heads a chairman was elected by the students, and each chairman was made responsible for accomplishments of his or her department. This being the first, year of its organization and being handicapped with a late start and the con¬ fusion going along with a new school, the results have not been what some may have hoped for. One department, though, which deserves special mention for the wonderful work which it has undertaken and successfully finished, is the Academ ' c Department. This department took into its hands the reorganization of the Literary Societies, which owing to lack of accommodations suffered a relapse last year. The success of the Societies should be attributed to this department. The foundation of several progressive spirited clubs are also due to the endeavors of this branch of the Student Body. The officers elected for the year of 1922- ’23 are John L. Bastian, President; Cowles Hogge, Vice-President; Margaret Patrick, Secretary; Miss Straughan, Treasurer; Ernest Monroe, Chairman of the Academic Dept.; Constance Hough, Chairman of the Aesthetic Dept.; Elizabeth May, Chairman of the Social Dept.; and Edward Handy, Chairman of the Athletic Dept. It is hoped that the organized Student Body might be a permanent institution of Hampton High and that great things may be accomp¬ lished through this kind of effort, to make old II. H. S. better and better. 47 -I— .-’to— JOHN VAUGHAN Secretary - CURTIS BUST President CGRW6.UUSTHOMPSON Vice President ■ - - NORMAN CAKMJHES Vice President I— 1 —I- , . � ... --- -! ■ wmam mm -■_i LITERARY SOCIETY OFFICERS Tke Wilson Literary Society Literary society work in our school is a student activity in which we have done little until this year. The reason for doing little along this line has been that we have had no place in which to hold our meetings. However, now with our splendid auditorium, we feel that we should accomplish much in the literary field. The Wilson Literary Society, therefore, is in its infancy but it has at least received an im¬ petus this year and we believe that the next few years will witness a decided development in this important and necessary phase of our school life. When our student body was organized early in the year, a literary committee was among its four divisions. Ernest Monroe, chairman of this committee, together with two representatives from each class, con¬ stituted a nominating committee, and submitted to the student body nominations for each office in the literary society. The following were the elections: 48 Pi •esident . Vice Presidents Curtis Burt Cornelius Thompson Norman Carmines Secretary Treasurer Alverta Murray John Vaughan In a spirited contest held in the Hampton High Auditorium, Hamp¬ ton won from Newport News in the debate, boys’ reading and girls’ reading, thus having four representatives eligible for the Charlottes¬ ville meet. The Rotarians very kindly donated the money necessary for defraying the expense of sending these students to Charlottesville. Hampton High School’s victorious literary team, composed of de¬ baters Ross Kearney and Raymond Kirsner; readers Joe Merrill and Metta Hudgins, left for Charlottesville, May 9, 1923, to take part in the final contests to decide the winners of the State titles. The team, with Miss Garret as chaperone, arrived at Charlottesville at four-thirty o’clock. They were met by a delegation of former Hampton High stu¬ dents who were attending the University of Virginia. The team was taken to Madison Hall where they registered, were assigned to rooms, and were given a ribbon which carried some special privileges with it. Too much cannot be said of the line treatment that the University gave the various delegations. Trips were made to Monticello and other in¬ teresting points. A State track meet and a baseball game furnished the visitors with much entertainment. On Friday, May 12, the literary part of the program started. The debating teams were paired, Hampton having as an opponent, Alex¬ andria. Hampton defended the affirmative side of the question: Re¬ solved—“That the Open Shop Should Prevail in American Industry.” The argument put forth by Messrs. Kirsner and Kearney clearly out¬ classed that of Alexandria from the start, while the rebuttal of the Hampton team was a deciding factor of the contest. The judges gave their decision as 3-0 in favor of the affirmative. The chairman of the debate declared it to be one of the best in the whole meet. By defeat¬ ing Alexandria, Hampton earned the right to meet Staunton, the winner in the other division. In this debate Hampton had to defend the neg¬ ative side. The debate from the beginning was hotly contested, but Staunton had better argument than Hampton and won by a decision of 3-0. This debate was declared the best of the entire literary meeting. In the next debate Maury defeated Staunton for the championship. Hampton High School should feel proud of the students who took part in the contest, for although the readers, Metta Hudgins and Joe Merrill were defeated early, the debaters came in third out of the forty-one teams entered. With the experience of this year Hampton should have a championship literary team next year. 49 French Cluh CIRCLE FRANCAIS MoLto: Ici on parle francab Colors: Blue and silver. BERNICE GAY . .

He is a four-letter man of that school, and has an established foot-ball record all over our State. He started to work on a green but willing squad of foot-ball players. The first season, however, was unsuccessful but bright prospects were left for the next year. His second year was much more successful. Winning every game with the excep¬ tion of one, that being Walter Reed. This year everyone looked forward to a Cham¬ pionship Team. We got within the sight of the pennant, but one fumble defeated us. Summing up our work as a whole, (that means in comparison with the size of our school to others) we stand above the average of high schools in the State. Coach Copeland has worked hard for the past three years trying to develop a higher standing among the boys; not only in athletics, but morally. He has written pledges during each branch of athletics, and asked all boys to live up to their word. If this was broken, it was not his fault, and although he gets credit for a losing team, he has a clear conscience that he has done all in his power to put out a winning team. When defeat came, often the coach would be knocked, but we must remember that to have a winning team the boys must do their part first and then let the Coach help them complete it. 54 FOOTBALL TEAM CAPTAIN HANDY LETTER MEN Captain Handy Kearney Tennis Collier Jones Ellison Peake Johnson Ludlam Carmines Merrill Kirsner Lee Harrison Hogge Alexander Roche Manager Thompson Football Schedule Opponent Opponent’s Hampton’s Date Score Score Oct. 13 Maury .. . 7 13 Oct. 20 South Norfolk ...... 0 6 Oct. 27 Portsmouth .... . 0 7 Nov. 10 Newport News . 6 0 Nov. 17 Portsmouth . 0 0 Nov. 24 Portsmouth .... ...... 7 6 Total ... .. 20 32 MANAGER THOMPSON 56 Football The football season of ’22 was, from all standpoints, a success. Not only was it successful from the standpoint of actual games won on the held, but the spirit which was established throughout the school will long outlive the more tangible results. During the season the team succeeded in making history by ac¬ complishing a feat none of our teams have ever before accomplished, the defeating of one of our opponents upon their home grounds. To complete a successful season it became necessary, in order to determine the eastern state championship, for the squad to endure a lengthy schedule which it did most successfully. It was necessary to play one opponent three times in order to determine the successful con¬ testant to represent this section in Norfolk for state title. In glancing back, and considering as we do, the many unaccus¬ tomed conditions to which the men adapted themselves, the deep deter¬ mination of each man to keep himself “physically fit, morally straight and mentally alert” in order to make firm his individual portion of the team, we find within us a feeling of the deepest admiration for the squad of ’22 which neither time nor age can ever sever from us. The above is a brief discussion of the accomplishments of the team itself, but before leaving, we are forced to consider those responsible for its building and maintenance, first of all, Coach Watson Copeland; next, Samuel Mason and Harry Marrow, who assisted him. Had it not been for the constant efforts of these three men, the production of an eleven of this type would have been impossible. Last, but by no means least, we find in placing credit that an enorm¬ ous amount is due our principal, T. G. Pullen, Jr., whose labors and sacrifices for the team throughout the season are highly responsible for the success that it achieved. On the gridiron as well as in other fields of life, there must be one who is looked up to for leadership and guidance, one whom men love, in whom they trust and take pride in following. We found him in our own Ed. Handy, a real sportsman, gentleman and true captain. 57 BASKETBALL Coach....Watson Copeland Captain. ...George Ellison Manager.......Curtis Burt Schedule Date Feb. 9 Feb. 23 Mar. 10 Opponent Portsmouth Maury ...

Several priorities were set this year, the Crabbers having the first time invaded foreign soil and returned with two scalps. It was the first time that Hampton lias ever defeated Maury in Norfolk. Although they did not win the championship, they were in the finals, and lost out by the nar¬ row margin of one point. Basketball, from the standpoint of victories won was not so suc¬ cessful. Five letter-men of the previous year could not be used on account of injuries and other causes, and a new team was forced to battle veteran. However, under the above handicap the team turned out was a fighting aggregation. Despite the fact that our bitterest rivals outnumbered us five to one and our small student body, the teams deserve much credit for their fighting spirit, clean sportsmanship and their determination to keep old Hampton first place in athletic competition. Music Music in the High School in the past has consisted altogether of chorus work. This year a broader and more definite course has been established, consisting of the study of Musical History, which deals with the historical development of music from ancient times to the present, and studying the lives of the great composers. Next year still another branch will be added, namely, Appreciation of Music. The aim of this course will be to develop in each student a comprehensive appreciation an da wider understanding of the beauty of music. It has been said that, “the capacity to listen properly to music is better proof of musical appreciation than the ability to sing or to play on an instrument.” We also hope to have next year a Music Memory Contest, which will be open to all students in the High School. 63 1st Row—“Agony” Quartette; Two nuisances; Yank, Roachie, “Don’t throw it!” 2nd Row—Daily scene; Misses Garrett, Battle and Lee; One of those gangs; 3rd Row -—Radio bug; Marion, Lottie, Lillian; Our photographer; Yeah, he’s a goph.; Miss Kitty’s Elizabeth. 4th Row—Somebody’s cuttin’ up; Piter’s, the school store. 5th Row—Four of our Faculty; Rats and Sophs, Where’s Nonie?; We’ve got good gate keepers. 6th Row—Lovin’ Sam, the leisure man; Misses Smith, Jones, Stevens, Booker; Our only marriage of the year; Dreaming Joe Tinker. 1st Row—Lab. partners, Kieve and Hoggie; Some contortionist, eh?; Scene showing “leaners fence.” 2nd Row—Arbor Day; Thre of a kind; The first of the bake-wagon rush. 3rd Row—The old reliables; Our little friend from the Fort; Best janitor in the state—George; Miss Nichols and Miss Booker; Mr. Pullen, Best principal ever! 4th Row—Some grins!

I did it, and the next day when I went to gather eggs, some of those fool chickens had laid knotholes. Well sir, the next day one of those chickens laid a suit of furniture. So I just took twelve of those eggs and set them. When they hatched, eleven of those chickens had wooden legs and the twelfth was a wood-pecker.” John Bastian declares it never rains on the unjust, if he can get the just man’s umbrella. A clergyman who advertised for an organist received this reply: “Dear Sir: I notice that you have a vacancy for an organist and music teacher, either lady or gentleman.

The 1923 graduating class was just entering High when Pifer’s store was established and many of the members have been our constant friends and daily visitors from that day to this. For this we are grateful and appreciative and our best wishes go with them. No finer lot of boys and girls ever was turned out by a High School in Virginia or any other state. It will be our constant aim to serve the oncoming classes just as carefully and faithfully, as well as every school youngster in Elizabeth City county. Pifer’s is the only store on the Peninsula exclusively for school children. We don’t pretend to be anything else but a school store. LIFER’S Opposite John M.

Miss Wicker: “If the President and Vice-President would die, who would take the job?” Curtis Burt: “The undertaker.” Philip Allen: “You know, last year the doctor told me that if I didn’t stop smok¬ ing I’d be feeble-minded.” Clyde D.: “Well, why didn’t you stop?” Mr. Jones (after a long-winded explanation) : “Do you see the point now?” Curtis Burt: “That isn’t a point. That’s a line.” Frank Peake: “What course do you expect to graduate in?” Cornelius Thompson: “In the course of time.” Coach: “What are you going to run, the mile or the two-mile?” Ludlam: “I don’t know, I can tell you better after the first mile.” Miss Booker: “Name the greatest advantage of Roman civilization.” Teddy Denton: “The toga-—it never got baggy at the knees.” Miss Wicker: “Give a famous saying that a well-known general said on his re¬ treat from the battlefield.” Tom Collier: “You chase me, now.” 88 I V
