Every class and organization has a history— but what can lie said of this class of Hampton High School. ■ We aren’t Sophs or Freshies and we sure aren’t Seniors, but we are Juniors, mighty Juniors at that, with hearts and faces full of happiness and joy. Why shouldn’t we be happy? Next year we ' ll receive those SENIOR PR1VI- ■ LEGES which Seniors enjoy and Juniors envy. The members of the Junior (lass of twenty-eight are regular “live-wires”. You bet we have representatives ‘ in every form of athletics, football, baseball, basket ball and track. The Junior class also possesses some of the best talent in school. Well, this is how we happened to be Juniors: On a warm September day just three years ago we gathered in . front of “Ole Hampton High School”—were we happy?—well I guess—we were ready to enter high school. We had left our quiet harbor—grammar school—to sail the stormy seas and endure the trials and tribulations of a high ■ school career. As we stood there waiting for the bell to ring we gazed into the sunshine of seniordom. It seemed a long ways off. ; From Freshies we passed to Sophomores. How proud we were to be Sophs. As the shades of evening gathered on our Sophomore days we greeted the glorious future and became Juniors and plunged into our work with a I renewed interest. Only one more year and our “goal” will be attained! | It is true that we have worked, but we have also had our pleasures, which have been numerous. In later years Jp’ the memory of the “old days at H. H. S.” will ever be sweet to recall. The Junior class of ’28 realizes that that which is worth having is worth working for and we are determined to do our best and by so doing receive, the “gift” which is looked forward to by every high school student—that gilt of gilts—-“the diploma.” As we launch into our Senior year with enthusiasm and confidence, may paths of glory loom before us? For the “raw material” is no more and may the finishing product stand the test of time. —Elsie Evans, ’29. a ' a(a ' Va9a‘ f a ' a a A ' A a A ' a t a a a t a T uwntv-One
