Senior Class History F OUR years ago, in September, 1921, we entered Hampton High School as freshmen. Most of these same students now form our senior class. Among the number were many from Syms-Eaton, John M. Willis and George Wythe schools. After completing the courses required in the grammar schools, these students journeyed to old Hampton High to begin their high school course. The day on which we entered this institution marked one of the most important eras in our lives. During our freshman year we accomplished much. We had parties, pic¬ nics and various other forms of amusement, not to mention thrilling encounters with the sophomores. We did not neglect the academic side of our school life. As our freshman officers, we elected: President, Booth Graham; Vice-President, Virginia Batten; Secretary, George Torian ; and Treasurer, Wallace Hicks. Under the careful guidance of these class officers we accomplished more than was expected of us. We studied hard and when September, 1922, rolled around, we found our old class hack at Hampton High School, not as fresh¬ men, hut as sophomores. When we entered as sophomores, we found we had lost several of our class¬ mates. Some were attending other schools; others had found employment, or interests elsewhere. However, many from Phoebus High School joined us and have been with us the remaining three years of our high school life. As our sophomore officers, we chose: President, Florence Messick; Vice-President, Kathryn Pace; Secretary, Alton Buchanan; and Treasurer, Virginia Batten. During our sophomore year we also had dances and parties, which we enjoyed; hut we had started out to reach another goal—that of receiving our Hampton High School diplomas, and we refused to allow other interests to monopolize all of our valuable time. Accordingly, therefore, we studied as hard as we played, and in June, 1923, we found ourselves no longer sophomores, hut upper classmen, juniors. As juniors of our dear old high school, we more than ever realized the responsibilities which each of us shouldered. We had more to accomplish, we were nearer our goal and we would not shirk out duties. Since we were now upper classmen, our faculty and fellow-students expected more of us and we decided to fulfill all expectations to the best of our several abilities. We fur¬ nished the athletic teams with material, as we had also done during our preced¬ ing two years, and we were represented in practically all of the activities of the high school. This was, also, the year during which we were responsible for the annual Junior-Senior picnic. We worked hard and gave the seniors a never-
