4-A Class History Students of Hampton High we will soon be leaving you a trust and an inheritance. Wait! Do not he so curious. Can’t you guess what the 4A cla s will he leaving soon? That’s right. We will he leaving High School, but in addition we are entrusting something to you all, something big, some¬ thing fine, the honor of upholding the reputation and name of old Hampton High School. Tou Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen will all be expected to take the task in hand and we know you can do it. Not that we are throwing bouquets at ourselves, far from it, but even at that the 4A class feels that it has done its duty well. We are not through yet. All during these three and a half years we have worked and worked hard, sometimes seeing clearly ahead, sometimes groping blindly towards that great achievement called “Graduation” and the small hut extremely valuable price of the sheep¬ skin which signifies a good start on the road through life. I et’s see now what individuals stand out in our struggle so nearly finished. First, shall we say Airs. Stevens? She is the one with which to begin. She helped us steer our course during the Junior year and now we hope she’ll he with us to see our ship put into harbor, sails flying, next February. Here, I think Bernard Johnson deserves a word of well earned praise. I ast year he was Treasurer of our Junior Class and managed so well and proved so capable that we eagerly voted that he retain the office during our Senior year. Lately, as the Student Body knows, we started Student Government here at Hampton High. What do you think of having four representatives from the 4A homeroom? Well that’s what happened at the election and maybe we aren’t proud to he represented in the four persons of: Otis Johnson, Bill Hunt, Virginia Lear, and Eugene Braig. I mentioned Otis Johnson first for several reasons. Why? Well, wait and see. Undoubtedly Otis is the outstanding student of our class and perhaps of the whole school. He was captain of the Basketball Team this year, leading a successful five to many victories. He is the President of the Athletic Council and Vice-President of the Student Council. Flow’s that for a record? Also he played a splendid game of football during the season last year and we’re proud of him as we have right to he. Since we are the only class of 4A’s in the school we feel that we should not he left off the Honor Roll on any account. Alyra Wood and Virginia Lear have upheld our reputation very well with the aid of Peter Bergbom, Ballard Blanks and Rodman Cunningham. And now I think all our virtues have been listed and we will try to live up to them. Remember we challenge you, the different classes comprising the Student Body, to present a better record when you reach your senior year. TT —Virginia Lear.
