History of Cl ass of 1934 One day in 1930, a large group of “green” grammar school pupils walked proudly out of the respective schools of Elizabeth City County carrying report cards bearing those inspiring words “Promoted to High School”. These proud children were we, the new freshmen of Hampton High. Our pride was however, soon shattered when we stepped through the doors of H. H. S. and saw those dignified seniors peering at us and calling us “mere rats”. We were not entirely neglected because some kind soul noticed us and called us together in a meeting to organize and elect officers. We chose as our leaders the following: President, Albert Miller; Vice-President, William Cole; Secretary, Diana Clark; and Treasurer, Jane Sinclair. Soon we settled down and joined the Athletic Association and learned what school spirit is. The next September, we, who had been F reshmen, were now able to look down on the new “rats” from the elevated position of Sophomores. We all gathered in a meeting soon after the beginning of the term and elected the following as our officers: President. Jack Fuller; Vice-President, Joe Carpenter; Secretary, Anne Mabbott; Treasurer, Kenneth Wray. Our motto was “Keep Smiling”, which we did in spite of the depression. We had a lot to smile for, too, because this year we had a new ' gym, additional classrooms and a new auditorium. Somehow, during this year the athletic boys and girls of our class discovered that there were all kinds of sports in the school. The boys tried their luck at football, basketball, and track, and the girls tried basketball. Several of us developed into stars after a little practice and experience. “Fear not, the worst is yet to come”. That was the motto of our ambitious class in the next and third year of that great adventure of high school. Some of our fellow classmen had fallen behind because they “couldn’t take it”, but this loss was made up by the additions from Fort Monroe, Phoebus and other schools. This was the year of years for our grand football team. They defeated Newport News for the first time in over sixteen years. Shall we ever forget it? At the commencement exercises in June when the class of ’33 graduated, the girls of our class donned their prettiest pastel colored dresses, and carrying hoops of roses, marched down the aisle to sing a song of spring to the dignified Seniors. The officers for this year were: President, Anne Mabbott; Vice-President, Joe Bryant; Secretary-Treasurer, Anne Cooper. Seniors at last! What a struggle and what an experience! Can it be true that we have actually finished high school? It seemed like such a long time when we started back in ’30. Now we are enjoying the privileges allowed the seniors. The motto of the class for our last year is “Completus Tamen Incipiens” which has been the motto of the graduating classes of Hampton High School since 1925. We have chosen some excellent leaders for this, our last year in dear old Hampton High School: President, Anne Mabbott; Vice-President, Billy Guy; Secretary, Marion Fergusson; Treasurer, Robert Howe. We the class of 1934 wish to bid you all farewell and good luck and may Hampton High School be as dear to you as it has been to us. Mary M. Jones, Class Historian. 0
