We ' ve made the first down yet that is not all, For the goal of life is quite far; If we keep on fighting and plugging we shall Shine like the bright evening star; If our downs o ' er weigh our “ups for a while. We ' ll not stop, but just keep on our guard. It ' s easy to quit and get out of the game, But to keep on fighting — it ' s hard. To speak of life, it resembles a science. For in both there ' s always a plan; Iron may be finally wrought into steel, And so may the youth into man. Let your spirit be made of the finest steel, For when there ' s a time for woe, Our spirit will bend as good steel will do; Yet never to break or to go. Just a word I wish to say to this crew, And its thought in your ears must roar; When in “tough with ease you ' ll get thru. If you think of old ' 21p. —Ruffs Benthall, ’ 24 ?

This division in the beginning proved to be a basis for more united efforts during the three ensuing years. Throughout the first year our class in Hampton High School was divided into two sections, the science section and the Latin section. Homer Alexander was president of the first group and Virginia McAllister, president of the other group. During this year many activities were started in the school. Among these were the Junior Red Cross and school lunches. The freshmen took an active part in both of these projects. At the beginning of the sophomore year the groups from the various schools were units and thus were enabled to work with better cooperation. During that year the officers were Homer Alexander, president; Rufus Benthall, vice-president; and Emma Cooke, secretary and treasurer. Few things of special importance happened during the year, hut in all school activi¬ ties the class as a whole took some part. In the fall of nineteen twenty-two, in our third year, we entered our beauti¬ ful new high school. The officers elected for the year were Cornelius Thompson, president; Homer Alexander, vice-president; and Emma Cooke, secretary and treasurer. This was a year of important events. Our literary society was very active. In the contest with Newport News our debaters and readers were the winners, thus enabling us to send four representatives to Charlottesville to take part in the literary meet for state finals. There our debaters stood very well for they were third from the last eliminated. A student organization with John Bastian as president was “put across” with all the students in high school as members. Our annual dubbed The Krabba made its initial bow at the close of the year. Last but not least came the important event in the lives of juniors and seniors, its old-time traditional name being the Junior-Senior Picnic. For several months the juniors bad their heads together and their bands at the wheel planning and perfecting. Finally the eventful day arrived. The early part of the day was rather inclement, but despite that fact, the prow of the Severn was headed toward Jamestown. Before we had gone far the weather cleared up and the picnic was literally a howling success. I N THE FALL of nineteen hundred and twenty another stepping stone was laid in the lives of the present seniors. Of this group all did not enter high school together. Some were in Phoebus, some at George Page Thirty-two ' ?gBBtBaaBgaB9BPBaEaeBaBg BaRBaBBBRgaaag9BRaBaBaBaBBBBaaaaBaaeBBB8aBflBB8BBBaaaaBBaasagBaBflBBaaBgBBBaBBaaBBBaaBaBBBBSBSBBaaaeflBaaaaBaaBBaeaBS9aaBR9BaaBS9 THE K R A B BA ji The class of ! 24 entered school September 10th determined to make this session the best of their four years. The officers elected for the year were: H omer Alexander, president; George Sheild, vice-president; Emma Cooke, sec¬ retary ; and Virginia McAllister, treasurer. Each year numbers of our class¬ mates were dropped from tbe roll for various reasons and new names added. Ma ny of our teachers were changed from time to time and in the last year our superintendent and principal were changed. Mr. Robert Newton taking the place of Mr. J. H. Brent and Mr. Wilson Thorpe taking the place of Mr. T. G. Pullen. However, even changes seemed to bind us closer together. The class motto decided upon was “Toujours En Avant ” (Always Forward), the colors were maroon and gold; the flower the red rose. Many of the boys and some of th egirls took an active part in athletics during the year. Many of the seniors were active members on the Pioneer and Annual staff’s, and were active members of the various clubs. A great deal of interest was taken in all school activities throughout the entire year. Our advancement has been due in large measure to the teachers, principals and superintendents that have been ours during the four years in high school. We desire to express to them our deepest gratitude for their untiring interests and efforts in our behalf. W e have looked forward to this last stepping stone in our school career, our graduation, but with a tear of regret we leave our Alma Mater, which for four years has witnessed our joys and sorrows and helped us form lasting friendships.

Among these talented students are future presidents, big game hunters, flappers, cake-eaters and vamps. Among the most distinguished pupils in the high school at large is Frank “Bo” Peake. He is distinguished as a back on the “Mythical Eleven,” as the high school’s champion “absentee,” and as the 4A’s laziest “non-studier.” “Duck” A. D. Wallace is our best “Triple-Yell” cheer leader. Minge Perkins, captain of the basketball team, has led them to victory through her “revival services and prayers,” while Sadie Marc!.ant can certainly dance and play basketball. Virginia Adams, our Vice-President, doesn’t say much, although her “side- kick” Virginia “Poky” Smyre, is a little bit loud, thus proving again that opposite natures attract each other. Nellie Cockey is said to be a good dancer. Dorothea Smith can certainly study and hate men at the same time. Helen Turnbull can play tbe typewriter and will certainly make a good “stenog” some day. Elbe Wood is almost as quiet as Anne Collins. George “Scoup” Benthall, second seat, first row, is another one of our studious pupils, and irginia Lankford is somewhat like him. Miller Hanger, our Treasurer, can surely collect quarters and will be a good man for Henry Ford to get a hold of. We have a few sporting men in our ranks. George Ketchum always wants to box and we hope Dempsey will soon meet him. We want a new golf cham¬ pion and Wade Traynham might fill the bill. Frank Adams will some day make a great hockey player “we guess,” but at present is engaged in the minor league of “shinny,” a forbidden game, around the precincts of our beloved Alma Mater. Elliot Gay, our blue-eyed hunter, will be a great sportsman in Africa, but at present he is employed in shooting ducks on Hampton River. You must admit that among our nineteen pupils, there are nineteen celeb¬ rities, among whom last and always least comes— “Beans” Daley-“Ed” Rest.

Willis School. These same boys and girls have struggled through the Syms-Eaton and the West End schools, with ambi¬ tions to become serious-minded high school students. This class entered the high school with the realization that every member must work hard in order to accomplish the work required of a student for graduation. The following year we returned to our work as sophomores with the hope of winning even a greater name for ourselves this year. The new building was completed and this made work much easier for the students as far as the academic side was concerned, because the rooms were larger and greater in number. Many new members entered our class as sophomores, some coming from Phoebus, Eox Hill and George Wythe, while several came to us from more distant places. As soon as the class had gotten down to work, officers were elected and plans for the progress of our class were made. As sophomores we enjoyed our school year immensely. We gave several dances. We were also represented on the football, baseball and basketball teams and this caused a strong high school spirit to prevail throughout the class. Then in September, 1923, we came back to our school duties as juniors, our present class. We all realized the fact that the junior class had a great deal required of it and all the students settled down to work in order that the necessary amount of work might be accomplished. Our present class is prac¬ tically twice as large as either one of our preceding classes, many new students having entered school, making a total of 135. Officers were elected and the usual routine of high school life was gotten down to very soon. This class has accomplished much during this year in a social way. Several successful dances have been given. The proceeds will be used for the general fund for the annual junior-senior picnic to Jamestown. The juniors have been represented on all high school athletic teams and this fact has added much to our school spirit. Now we are looking forward to the greatest event in the life of a junior at Hampton High School, the annual junior-senior picnic, given at Jamestown. As juniors we have worked hard and have done our best to make our class strong in spirit and in its love of old Hampton High School. Next year as seniors we all feel that we will be capable of accomplishing even greater things, and that the class graduating from our Alina Mater in 1925, which will be the largest class ever turned out from this school, will also prove the best eA’er sent out in the history of Hampton High School. „ 1 —Kathryn I’ace, ’25.

If you think old Hampton High School cannot play, Surprise you’re bound to find. ’Cause thil old world is an all right place And Hampton High has set the pace; If you think you’re going out to win today, Newport, change your mind! The class took the field in 1923-24 as the Rainbow Division. With swift de¬ cision they bunched the colors offered for vote and chose the rainbow. Milly Tennis was president in the fall term and a gym dance followed organization. The officers of the spring term were: Charles Holtzclaw . .... __ ___ President Vance Bittler _ Vice-President Curle Jones _ Secretary Francis Bent hall _ Treasurer The class has been well represented in athletic activities. Among the foot¬ ball heroes are Weldon Hundley, Winder Violet, Sam Lankford, “Cabby” Tennis and Charles Holtzclaw. The last three are letter men of the school. The basketball team is almost a sophomore team. On the diamond the follow¬ ing sophomores have made good: Curie Jones, Maurice Hughes, Kenneth Daniel, Sam Lankford, Charles Holtzclaw. The girls, too, are strong on the girls’ basketball team. Nan Griffith and Elizabeth Peake are fast players. These sophomores are always up to something. A Radioscope Party, a Hallway Dance, candy sales and the famous “Hi Vi Revue” are among the spring activities. These jollities culminated in May with a picnic at Grand View, swimming and hot dogs were on the program. The “Hi Vi Revue” was an eight act vaudeville put on by Room 301. This was voted the cleverest performance ever, and means twentv dollars for the piano fund. Certainly there was a laugh in every act. David Tarre- gano as “Mi ss Phoebus” proved the prize beautv, Charles Palmer as the mech¬ anician of Spark Plug made a hit and Paul Westphal was a sure enough Light¬ ning Artist, lining out Maggie, Jiggs and the Captain on demand. The acts of Hi Yi were originated by the performers and developed unsuspected talent. The Rainbow Division is full of ginger. They have done some things dif¬ ferently and give promise of smashing traditions as if traditions mean nothing.

BARBARA ZEHRBACK, REGINALD Page Forty-nine T II E K H A B B A Freshmen History O N THURSDAY, September 6, 1923, a number of self-important pupils — including myself—enrolled in the freshman class of Hampton High School. The following Monday we reappeared at the high school and proceeded to delve into the mysteries of algebra, Latin, general science and Chesterfield cigarettes. (Oh, yes! almost all freshmen learn to smoke, although it is not included in the course of study.) We soon found that fresh¬ man algebra is the easiest thing in the world tor -sophomores; and that general science is not too hard to understand, but Latin how those poor fellows who studied that horrible language of queer sounding words managed to get along, I do not know, for I was not among those guilty. The first rates, for a vi two weeks of the term was a veritable “Reign lainous looking football star. had gathered about © him a sane of Terror” for us one Thomas Collier, to be exact, who, by way of hazing were holding a small scale reproduction of the Spanish Inquisition with what limited material the school yard could supply. Rut, apparently, nothing could stop the rapid swelling of our heads until -the first reports were issued. Let us skip that sad chapter and turn to the page where our class educa¬ tion begins. We have learned that a “rat” may talk back to a sophomore with¬ out dire consequences, but a junior is dangerous and a senior to be treated as an Oriental despot. After the Christmas holidays, from which many returned bemoaning strange sensations in the abdominal regions, came a month of cramming for the mid-year exams and finally came those awe inspiring terrors, themselves. In spite of our fears, most of the class moved up a notch from 1A to IB to make room for a class of new, very fresh “rats” from the grammar schools. These “rats” were our lawful game for hazing, but we were too much taken up with our own affairs, so we let them oil lightly and soon blended all into one freshman class under our illustrious president A. T. Hull. -Thomas Herbert, ’27. Parje F, ft y Lunch Hour - PifeRS Will BEGINNERS CLUB CLUBS THE ARABBA Woodrow Wilson Literary Society now a treasure of the high school, graciously permitted his name to be used. The Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, however, did not begin active operations until the term of ’22-’23. Interesting debates, orations, and read¬ ings were given. The debaters and both readers won over Newport News. Later, the debaters were placed third in the state meet at Charlottesville. This year the society has shown an increased spirit. Many more programs have been given than formerly and much more competition is the result. The original plan was to have two divisions of the society, each under a vice-president, but this was done away with later in the term. All of the officers are expected to graduate this year except Buck Jones, who will probably go away to school without his “dip,” as he doesn’t expect to return to Hampton High School. The first meeting before the student body was held on February 22 to celebrate in a fitting manner the birthday of George Washington, but most of the students were more appreciative of the fact that they were “out” at 2:30 than they were of the program. A FEW years ago, a letter was written to the late ex-president, Woodrow Wil son, requesting permission to use his name for a literary society to be organized at Hampton High. Mr. Wilson, in a letter that is Page Fifty-two THE KHABBA Elmer Messick represented the high school in the “Richmond Times-Dis- patch Oratorical Contest,” his subject being “Madison and the Constitution,” but he lost to a young lady from Poquoson. Several other programs were given, final eliminations being held on April 22. The candidates for the year were: Debate: James Daly, Edith Eley, William Boyenton. Raymond Braig, Elizabeth Mitchell, Katherine Pace, Katherine Kearney, C. Edwin Rust. Reading: A. 1 ' . Hull, Thomas Herbert, Dorothy Bauman, Margaret Wells, Sadie Mar- chant, Margaret Ransone, Margaret Farley, Hilda Rudolph, Dorothy Penny. Oration: John Vaughan, A. D. Wallace, Elmer Messick, Virginia McAllister. The following candidates were chosen in the elimination contests to repre¬ sent the high school against N. N. H. S. Debate: James Daly, C. Edwin Rust. Reading: Thomas Herbert, Dorothy Bauman. Oration: Elmert Messick, Virginia McAllister. Rut now comes the rub- On the night of Wednesday, May 30, the old rivals, Newport News and Hampton, met in the Walter Reed High School auditorium in their annual literary meet. All of the preliminaries were arranged in the office at Walter Reed. Both sides were backed by pupils and Hampton’s cheering, led by our famed “triple yell” cheer leader, was thunderous. First were the Readings, then Pubic Speaking, then the Debate, which was heated and close. When the clear voice of Bell, the president of the Newport News High School Student Body, announced the results a silence fell upon the audience, great expectancy being predominant. The first announcement was a score of 2 to 1 in favor of Hampton. Messick smiled, but it was to be short lived as Bell continued with the announcement -“but the decision goes to Newport News on default, owing to the brevity of the Hampton orator’s speech.” The smile left Messick’s face, and he clenched his fists (we don’t blame him) and when last seen in class he still had them clenched. Newport News raised the roof with her cheers, but Hampton was joyous even at her loss, as it gave them encouragement. The next announcement was a score of 3 to 0 in favor of the Newport News girl orator. Newport News yelled again. The announcement of a score of 3 to 0 for the boy reader in favor of Newport brought more Newport yells. Next a score of 2 to 1 in favor of Hampton for the girl reader was announced. Fewer Newport yells. Lastly, was announced a score of 2 to 1, in favor of Newport News for the debate, this giving Newport News the honors at the meet. Both sides went to their feet and Y-E-L-L-E-D. After suffering this pro¬ nounced defeat Hampton High still held its grip. There was no grumbling, only cheerful words for those who had upheld the glory of old Hampton High. This spirit should prevail and help us to victory at next year’s meet. mi Page Fifty-three Journalism Club OFFICERS William Boyextox _ President George Sheild __ .

Wh en they got there, they sailed up the Mississippi River to what is now known as Bull’s Island. They made houses and placed Alfred the Great as leader with King Arthur as his assistant. This was a thriving and prosperous little colony. One day one of the colonists discovered some oil. The colony constructed some oil wells and named it “The Teapot Dome.” After some time, the colonists had trouble with the natives, and they called a council which made up a certain band of men who called themselves the “Ku Klux Klan.” This band did many unlawful things and the colonists tried to do away with it. One day in the summer an English ship came into port with a cargo of liquor. As it was against the Eighteenth Amendment, the colonists were not allowed to have it. Some of them, however, wanted it very much and dressed themselves up as policemen and went aboard the ship. They did not throw the cargo overboard but made them give it up because they were within the three mile limit. After King Alfred the Great died, King John and Abraham Lincoln wrote the Declaration of Independence and Oliver Cromwell quoted his famous words, “Give me liberty, or give me death.” The Declaration of Independence being signed and passed unanimously, Mohammed made his famous Norman conquest into Italy while William the Conquerer was on a crusade to the Holy Land with his faithful followers, who succeeded in capturing the famous city of Troy. After the crusades were over the French Revolution began in Russia be¬ cause the Americans were not treated well by all English. This was due to the fact that California was having trouble with Japan on account of immigration. When Peter the Great circumnavigated the globe, he was awarded the Victoria Cross by Henry the Eighth. This was the reason that Daniel Boone and Kit Carson went up north and discovered the north pole. The discovery of the north pole led to the discovery of the South American jungles by George Rogers Clark, the great poet and author.

This event ended the Civil War, between the East and West. The Renaissance and Reformation began after the Civil War. Edgar Allan Poe, Sir Conan Doyle and O. Henrv were forerunners of the Rennais- sance, while Magnus Johnson and Edwin Denby were the leaders of the Reformation. Mary, Queen of Scots, visited Cleopatra in New York when the presiden¬ tial campaign was beginning between Shakespeare and Ben Johnson, the two greatest politicians of the time. After staying in New York for some time, they went to Palm Beach, Florida, where they spent the winter season. In the spring they went back to Europe on the smallest ocean-going ship in the world, the Leviathan. The next year Robin Hood and his merry men met Robinson Crusoe in Australia, where they had a feast and banquet to celebrate their meeting. This marked the beginning of the Panama Exposition at the Suez Canal. When airplanes were invented, Columbus sailed around the world. These airplanes played a large part in the War of the Roses, which was fought in the West Indies. Balboa discovered the Indian Ocean in his radio driven submarine and then his statue was sculptured by Michael Angelo and placed in Chinatown, San Francisco, California. Hannibal then went to South America, where he met his lifelong friend, Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the sewing machine. They went to Japan, but they did not have as good a time as usual due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Spain. Rameses the Second of Egypt went to Rome after he had died. This was because his health was poor and he was very young and wanted to live longer. Charlemagne came to the throne of Turkey and excommunicated Henry the Eighth because he did not treat his wives the way he should. Richard the Lion-Hearted was chosen secretary of stfite by Thomas Jef¬ ferson and he managed the foreign affairs with Austria-Hungary very well all through the Crimean War. The relations between Afghanistan and Greece were getting unfriendly. A war began between Arabia and Persia. The war ended by the assassination of President McKinley. Then the World War began and all the countries were at war and the winning side won. The flood began and everyone was drowned except Noah and his friends and we are the descendants of Noah. —Stanley Goldstein, ’25 mi Page Sixty-three lliM ' HI ih- . snotfrv : :- -fLAPpMs , ymm r « 0W.g., -Hut s WC tfoti $: 9 r� w t(E i r ' r zjesr —� f«JTI J01.L ,F5T ■V - ‘ J i’r -KiT5 • V9ttf IOOHW.6 SAncAsne.

This past year’s Crimson Tornado, one of the best in the annals of the school, continually got the short end of the “breaks” and the gritty fighting that the team put up could not hope to overbalance the hard luck. In the great scales of Tidewater Championship, the “Crabtown Catapault” was weighed and found wanting. The Red and White lost the first game of the season to the Apprentice Boys, which was nothing to feel despondent about, as these lads trimmed most of the Freshman teams of the major colleges of the state. Likewise before a brace was taken, South Norfolk came across the water to take home the long end of a fairly close score. Before a wildly cheering mob, Hampton proved its right to the soubriquet “Game-Cock town,” when with the tenacity of bull dogs they battled the well-nigh invincible Junior Flying Squadron from V. M. I. to a 10 to 18 score; and although losing this memorable fight on points, a moral victory was won, and with their fighting blood aroused the Tornado encountered and vanquished the fast Mauryites. Portsmouth was met by only five regulars, with the rest of the team on the sick list. Here let us say just a word for the scrubs ; no gamer, grittier bunch of scrubs exist in seven states than old Hamp¬ ton possessed this year. They tore into the Presidents like old timers, but ex¬ perience and weight will tell, and though scrapping for every centimeter of ground they were continually forced down the field by sheer brute strength. Holding John Marshall to a scoreless tie, the Crabbers girded themselves for the great Newport News game. Driven by the indomitable fighting spirit that had enabled them to account creditably for more powerful antagonists, the Crimson had victory within their grasp, when, on the four-yard line some spring broke in the great machine and the great referee Fate decreed that the curtain should ring down on Tragedy.

By a process of elimination the squad was reduced to about twenty-five huskies and real work was started. Snider and H. Smith shouldered the mound work with the veteran Lank¬ ford behind the bat, and Dunn, a promising assistant, as his understuclv. Jones held down the initial sack with rare form, and Graham played his usual game at the keystone cushion. Bona of last year’s infield served in shortstop, while Daniels, before the season closed, developed into one of the brightest short field prospects the High has had for some seasons. James was used at third and in the outfield and got his hits when hits were needed. Hundlev also played at the look-in corner. F. Smith clouted at a good clip in the outfield. Townsend’s speed was a big asset to the team, and Ferris usually thrilled the stands with some of his sensational stabs. Ch ase Bush, better known to baseball fans as “Shake,” who filled the half¬ way position some years ago, assisted Mr. Copeland in whipping the nine into shape, and to him goes a great deal of credit. Credit also should be given to Manager Tennis’ able assistants, Carmines and Johnson. The year’s wearer of the coveted H earned on the diamond are: Jones, Graham, Lankford, H. Smith, F. Smith, Bona, Hundley, Ferris, Daniels, James and Townsend. UNSHINE and shadow, frowns and smiles from the wheel of fortune mottled an otherwise promising season for the Crimson ball tossers.

So “David Copperfield” and his best friend “Oliver Twist” borrowed some money from the rich “Martin Chuzzlewit” and bought “The Old Curiosity Shop.” But they knew no more about business than “Master Humphrey’s Clock. But with the help of old “Barnabv Budge” and the reading of “American Notes for General Circulation” they soon caught on. Their very first customer was “Nicholas Nicklebv,” the author of the “Pickwick Papers,” who came in to buy a “Tale of Two Cities.” One afternoon while Oliver had gone out to deliver “A Child’s History of England” and some “Sketches by Boz,” which he had written for the “Evening Chronicle,” “Little Dorritt,” a girl about seventeen years old, came into the shop to buy a copy of “Bentley’s Magazine.” She was introduced to David by “A (our) Mutual Friend.” They fell in love with each other at first sight, and David’s heart was filled with “Great Expectations” after that first meeting. About a year later their engagement appeared in the society column of the “Daily News.” Soon they were married and he gave her some “Pictures from Italy” for a wedding present. With the exception of a few “Household Words,” they lived happily ever afterwards. A Friend Worth While “Peter,” who worked for “Colonel Carter of Cartersville,” was generally about “Forty Minutes Late” everywhere he went, and as might be expected he was always in a hurry. One day as he was crossing “Kennedy Square” during “A January Thaw,” he slipped and fell. “Oliver Horn,” who was standing near, rushed over and helped him up. He was hurt badly so Mr. Horn decided to take the young man home with him. As time passed the two became inseparable friends. One morning while Oliver was hunting “In the Darkling Wood,” he was accidentally shot by “Caleb West,” so “Peter” received “The Fortunes of Oliver Horn.” He spent the rest of his life traveling, and nothing very important occurred until his death except that he lost “A White Embrella in Mexico.” —Virginia Saiyre. i a i ' ta«4Bti Page Seventy-six CUT-UPS ' P l iseai IK3B9I !BBEBCCBffBIEI THE KHABBA IBBBaaaBaB3DBIBIB)BB(BIIBIiBBIIBniUJI ' M es and Grinds Principal —“Frankly, madam, to tell the truth, your son has no brains.” Mrs. Newrich —“Get them for him at any cost.

It was announced that the football men were to get their letters Tuesday. A rat wanted to know what girl was fool enough to write all of these letters. Lillian —“Would you mind telling me how to pronounce the correct name of the stone in this ring?” Jeweler —“Well, the correct pronunciation would be g-l-a-s-s.” The optimist fell from the top of a sky¬ scraper. As ' tie passed the fourth story he was overheard saying: “So far so good.” Sam Lankford, our noted cross country walker, has returned from a walking trip to the capital. It is said that he was mixed to China to study up on his Mali Jongg. Mr. Saunders —“What is steam?” Kieve .... —“Water gone crazy with the heat.” Miss A mes —“Do you know Lincoln ' s Gettysburg address?” A. T .—“I thought he lived in the White House.” Tom Herbert —You don’t mean to say that it cost you $2000 to have your family tree looked up?” Miss Wicker —“No; $2000 to have it looked up and $5000 to have it hushed up.” In our Indian Operetta we had two Jew¬ ish characters and when we came to the song “Welcome Paleface,” they nearly wrecked the show by singing Velcome Paleface, Velcome.” We have some very interesting personages in our school. Among them is Hon. A. T. Hull. The school career of this boy is amazing. His tireless efforts to gain an education meet with our approval. He be¬ gan in the school which is now the John M. Willis. Gaining his B. V. D. there, he con¬ tinued to S. V. A. Leaving there with fly¬ ing colors anti with an educational degree of P. I). Q., he went to W. M. Spending two years there he left with his L. A. Z. Y. degree. Returning to Hampton High School, he resumed some of the studies he had unconsciously left off in his high school days. No sooner had he finished these when the school board changed the freshman courses and he thought it best to go back and take these. Now he is president of his class. He says after this year he is going up in the “Tea Kettle” scandal.

Their equal can only he seen when a circus is in town. But it is not the case this time. Instead, they are going to Chapel. These students love to go there. One has only to sit and gaze and he or she may see many strange sights. To see Sam Lankford slouching along followed by a long stream of rats, one might ask, “What grade is it that he teaches?” And then, as the echoes of the famous “Booker March” die away, followed by the clapping of many hands, our meeting begins. “The meeting is called to order,” says our principal as he leisurely takes one of his delight¬ ful Chesterfields and proceeds to attach a little fire on the end of it. “We will sing hymn number 94. The quartette will please come up front.” “Now, is there any business to be attended to?” “Yes,” cries little Cabby Tennis. “What is it, Mr. Tennis?” “Well, I find that the long periods affect my delicate eyes and it is the popular vote of the school that these periods be shortened to five minutes.” “Very well, Mr. Tennis, if it hurts your eyes I will shorten them. What ' s wrong, Fred?” “Miss Amos says the Boar War was in Egypt; I said it wasn ' t.” “You are right, Fred, the Boar War was in North Carolina. Wilton Jones and Tom Collier were in it, and—oh! while I think of it—all of Miss Wicker ' s classes will report to study hall until further notice, as she has a severe case of mumps—Miller?” “I ' d like to know who you had a date with last night?” “Oh, that ' s a secret between Miss Lee and me—WOOIEE!! I didn ' t know that bottle had any ink in it—what do you want, Frank?” “M iss Smith tried to keep me in after school for eating. ' 5 “I can hardly believe it, Frank. I shall severely rebuke Miss Smith. It is my wish that all our students be healthy and they cannot be unless they eat. Jesse, give me one of your cigarettes, mine are all gone. No wl wish that the question as to whether we shall go to school Christmas Day or not be settled. All in favor of attending will say ‘aye. 5 55 Everybody—“Aye.” “All right, it is definitely settled that we will go to school on Christmas Day. Pass me another of those olives, will you? What is the trouble, Joe?

The guests were favored with little miniature animals. (Miss Smith received a tiny kitten.) Just before the festivities Prof. Jones rendered in a very heart-breaking man¬ ner, a solo entitled, “You Can’t Make a Fool Out of Me.” This, however, was more or less of a tonic to curb the appetites.

Miss Wicker immediately took her false teeth out and slammed them at the innocent little “Wilson.” The charming host had fainted by the ice-box and Miss Lee coming to the rescue slung the dishwater on him. The hostess soon had them restored to order, and singing “Barney Google,” they made ready to depart.
