A Cigarette A cigarette between the lip, A cigarette with match at tip, A light from school to give a start And then we smoke the school day part. A cigarette between the fingers, A deep inhale and smoke that lingers, To rise and form in misty blue The things in life we ' ll have to do. A cigarette that’s burning low, With every breath a weaker glow, A kindly tiling to sit and dream Now that we’re the ebbing stream. A cigarette that’s burned and rent So school life itself is spent. But be not grieved—it burns no more For we still have the after glow. —Annette Griffin

History of the Class of 1935 September 1931 found us walking proudly in the direction of Hampton High School. We had finished grammar school the preceding June and now, ahead of us, were our high school careers. We walked proudly up to the school, but our confidence soon deserted us when upper-classmen began calling us “rats” and putting us through experiences which we would well remember. We soon got together for the purpose of organizing and electing officers. After much ac tive campaigning the officers for our first high school year were elected as follows: President, Jack Love; Vice-President, Evelyn Gammage; Secretary, Jewel Yates; and Treasurer, Neil Wood. Our motto was “Fresh and Green” and the class colors were green and white. Following the election of officers our class settled down to real work and began to learn the true meaning of school spirit. We presented several pro¬ grams in general assembly and tried hard to let higher classmen know who we were and what we could do. It was during this year that our school was en¬ larged, giving us a new auditorium, a new gym, and some additional classrooms. September 1932 found us entering the school as sophomores. We had re¬ gained some of our confidence by this time and could look down on the incom¬ ing Freshmen with an air of superiority. Our class helped to take care of the “rats” and let them know that there were students in the school who had taken notice of them. Many of the members of our class were by this time beginning to show their interest and ability in the various sports and many were becoming interested in tha various other activities of the school. Our officers for this year were: President, Joe Carpenter; Vice-President, Miriam Swan; Secretary, Jewel Yates; and Treasurer, Neil Wood. The motto was “Not At The Top, Put Climbing,” and the class colors were purple and white. The following September we entered the school as juniors and continued to climb toward our goal—graduation. We now looked forward to the time when we would be seniors and on the home stretch. As we advanced in our classes school life took on a brighter atmosphere and became more interesting. Tbe leaders for this year were: President, Charles Maddox; Vice-President, Jack Fuller; and Secretary and Treasurer, Anne Lewis. During this year several plays were given by the junior class. The purpose of these plays was to raise money for the Junior-Senior dance which was given by the Junior class in honor of the Senior class of 1934. In September 1934 we entered school as seniors and began the last year of our high school careers. The class had grown smaller by this time as some had dropped out along the way and others had left to attend school elsewhere, but those of us who remained did our best to make this, our last year, the best of all. In October we elected the officers for our Senior class. These officers are: President, Neil Wood; Vice-President, Harrington Cochran; Secretary, Jane Sinclair; and Treasurer, Diantha Raymond. “Completus Tamen Incipiens” is the class motto and has been the motto of every Senior class since 1925. Now, the time has come when we, the class of 1935, must bid farewell to Hampton High School and we trust that our successors may find these experiences as enjoyable as we have. —Wade Myers, Class Historian.
