THE 1936 KRABBA THE 1936 KRABBA A Prayer for the Future We offer up tiiis prayer to you. We ask it as a class: When we leave this sheltered place, Oh good Lord, let us pass! “The world is full of a number of things.” You’ve helped us to amass A little knowledge of many things. Oh good Lord, let. us pass! PI ease help us in the years to come Our hopes to tar surpass, And when we’re out and on our own. Oh good Lord, let us pass! Judith B. Hickey. THE 1936 KRABBA History of the Class of ’36 “Uncle Walter.” “Yes?” “When did you go to high school?” “Oh—a long time ago.” “Say, how about putting that newspaper down and telling me all about it. I’ll be going to high school myself, in a few weeks. I want to see how much the times have changed.” “All right, if you insist.” Uncle Walter, who was Mr. Walter C. Williamson to everyone except his youthful nephew, Johnnie, put aside his newspaper and began. “Well, Johnnie, I didn ' t go to high school in New York, as you will. The high school that I went to was in Hampton, down in Virginia. It’s been quite a while ago, too, twenty-two years, to be exact. “I was a member of the graduating class of ' 36, which started in the Sep¬ tember of ’32. We had a hard time of it that first week. Officially we were freshmen, but to the upper classmen we were “rats.” We may have been “rats,” but we certainly led a dog’s life that first week. “After that unforgetable first week, however, things began to become orga¬ nized and so it was with us. We held a meeting in the auditorium, and elected class officers. Jefferson Harrison was elected president; Evelyn Gammage was given the office of vice-president; Catherine Thomas became our secretary; and Leslie Sweeney took care of the finances. We picked green as our color; the clover as our flower, and “Fresh and Green, as our motto. We were fresh¬ men, all right, and we didn’t care who knew it. “One of the highest highlights of our freshmen year came during football season. We defeated our bitterest rival, Newport News, for the first time in fifteen years. This was the crowning success of a successful football season. “Football season was followed by basketball, mid-term exams, more basket¬ ball, track season, and then the final exams and vacation. That was out- freshmen year. “The first day of school the following September found us in an entirely different position from that of the year before. We experienced a certain feeling of superiority whenever we saw a new- “rat wandering bewilderedly along the hall. We were sophomores. “Next, came the inevitable, a meeting in the auditorium for the purpose ol organizing. Classes may come, and classes may go, but organization meetings in the auditorium go on forever. This time we elected Jefferson Harrison as .W Jt V —— iiO! A A - 1 M x K 1 ‘ H M ► . ' ■• 1 j o .yi ( 1 ++� +r � rr� l ' -gmmM Z ]C7 THE 1936 KRABBA president, Sydney Vincent as vice-president, Libby Wilson as secretary, and Jane Powell as treasurer. With these leaders the Class of ’36 passed smoothly through its sophomore year. “Another term! We were juniors! Our ranks were greatly increased by a large number of students from Phoebus. This made us the largest of the four groups in the school. “In spite ol our size we were able to meet all together to elect class officers. The elections were run swiftly and efficiently and Raymond Lewis was made president, Reed Patrick, vice-president, and Amelia Wornom, secretary- treasurer. “It was during our junior year that we ‘woke up’ so to speak. It began to dawn on us that it was possible to take part in school activities. Some of us tried our hand at athletics and came through on top; others, tried dramatics with equal success. This, we began to realize was a part of the play of high school. “It was customary, at that time, for the juniors to give the seniors a dance, or, perhaps to explain it better, to take care of the arrangements and expenses of a Junior-Senior Prom. We were no exception. We raised the necessary funds by sponsoring a moving picture at the Langley Theatre and by giving two very successful dances in the gym of the school. The main event came off in the spring of 1935, and it is with a feeling of pride that 1 say that the Class of ‘36 gave the Class of ’35 one of the most successful dances that any junior class gave a senior class in the history of Hampton High. “Soon after the dance, however, we began to study for exams, and after exams, again we were free, with a three months vacation. “Three months slipped by quickly; summer went; autumn came and with its coming, we once again turned our footsteps toward Hampton High. Dignified footsteps they were, for we were now seniors. “For the last time in H. H. S. we held a meeting in the auditorium to select four persons good and true, on whom we were to depend for leadership. The result was; Jane Powell, president; George Shackleford, vice-president; Catherine Thomas, secretary and Ruby Pierce, treasurer. “At the beginning of our senior year a new grading system was introduced in the school. Through the new system, numbers instead of letters were pro¬ vided for grades, and exams were discarded as being obsolete. “It was during our senior year that we began to realize fully what a wonder¬ ful experience our school life really had been. We began to realize that the times spent in high school are the happiest days of anyone’s life, and let me tell you, Johnnie, my hoy, that while the high school to which you will soon he going may be better in many ways than the one which 1 attended, it would he impossible to better the happy memories that the Class of ’36 have of Hampton High School.” Jefferson Harrison. THE 1936 KRABBA The Last Will and Testament We, the senior class of ’36, being of sound mind and body and knowing that, by Almighty decree, all things must come to an end, do make and declare this our last will and testament. To the Juniors, who have stood by us well in these, our last days, we leave our sympathy in the trials to come and the difficulties and hardships which they will en¬ counter. When the above mentioned Juniors become of proper age and attain the mental stature of Seniors, we leave them our dignity and privileges as Seniors. We carry with us memories of pleasant associations and accomplishments which have accumulated during the past four years. We shall always remember the spirit of helpfulness tendered us by the members of the faculty as well as our high regard for them. The following personal possessions are left by individuals of the class: 1. Turner Poe leaves us the “Krabba.” 2. Hazelwood Burbank leaves her wit to Shirley Lee Whiting. 3. Amelia Wornam finally leaves her “hero”-—“Corky” Davis. 4. Wilfred Hendricks leaves his feminine ways to William Stanworth. 5. Luther Myers leaves Buddie Hill to carry on his work in the shop. 6.

A Triangular Love Affair—Carrie Massenburg leaves with Otto Horstmann or Waverly Wornom—we wonder which! 15. Elsie Lee Davis leaves her tongue to waggle in the halls of H. H. S.— and she seems to be singing “Has Anyone Seen My Tommy?” 16. “Toadies” Parker is left a very despondent girl by Mr. Wooten. 17. Frank Bader leaves his record-breaking walk to Mr. Littl e for his next year’s Track Team. 18. Bill Kelley is off for Connecticut leaving that “Lil Bit Independent Air” to his feminine admirers. 19.

Elbert Hutton leaves a few pounds of weight to Mr. Lewis. 24. Jean Collier leaves giggling as usual. 25. Someone else headed for Newport News—Doris Davis is on the way to Mr. Gayle Parrish. 26. William Cornelious Tyler leaves his middle name to Dorothy Lee Bryant. 27. Willard Myer and William Speake leave to carry on with Guy Lombardo anti his Royal Canadians. 28.

THE 1936 KRABBA Prophecy of the Senior Class of ’36 There is a period in every man’s life when he glow ' s lonely and he wonders what has happened to the Iriends which he made during his younger years. Being a bachelor and having plenty of time for meditation I had a habit of wondering what became of my pals of my high school days. Tonight I sat down to supper and being tired and hungry, I asked the cook to make haste with the vittles. The cook grinned and hurriedly told me that he had something special prepared for tonight. In a few moments he came into the room and presented his surprise, a dish of very tasty crabs. Crabs! Crabs! Crabbers! How I remembered that beloved title, Crabbers. Forgetting my hunger, 1 leaned forward and rested on the table of Gardner style created by the illustrious designer, Frances Gardner. 1 meditated on what had happened to the class of ’36. Slowly a veil covered my eyes and 1 seemed to see and hear the hurrying traffic of one of the metropolitan cities of the east, at the close of a business day. Mid the din of the homeward bound thousands, 1 heard the cry of a newsboy. “Extra! Extra! Famous dental pair, Robert Lear and Jack Love discover method of extracting wisdom teeth without pain.” Buying a paper, 1 read the main topic and glanced at the remaining pages. In the “Social Highlights” column, published by none other than Joseph Wornom, assisted by Jeanette Bryant. I discovered that Lewise Connor gave a reception last night for the movie heart throb, Bill Kelley. Those attending were, Elsie Lee Davis, composer of many popular pieces of jazz, her latest being, “Don’t Run Around With Tommy;” Joseph and Richard Braig, nationally known tap dancing pair; Otto Horstmann, inventor of the Horse Code. Robert M. Newton. Jr., superintendent of public schools, Bill Scott, noted for his originality as a stage and screen comedian, Margaret Smoot, writer of those Smoot Fables, Phyllis Fuller, noted successor to Eleanor Powell; Grace Quinto, Mrs. Einstein, Jr.; Martin Camnitz, famous model for Esquire; Jacqueline Ruth, famed traveler, and last but far from least, the first man to swim the English channel, William Laws. I folded the paper and began walking again. Entering a large doorway, 1 saw a huge man, who seemed to be very jovial. Could this be Irving Fuller? I saw him standing behind a bar drying beer glasses. He told me during his spare time as a bartender and pool room proprietor he had written a book on the much worn subject “How to Gain Weight.” I looked around his shop and noticed that a new brand of ours was on the market. I found out that Tommy Craigs anti Harry Kennedy, makers of “Crabweiser” beer that made Hampton famous, had developed a new type of beer. While looking around I saw Earl Councill gently removing some unfortunate chap, who I later discovered was Buddy Ferris, from the bar. I took it that Earl was bouncer. Just then some one tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and found Jeff Harrison who had grown to be tall and fine looking. He told me he had taken over the management of the Seaside Rock, the former Buckroe Beach. Then from a corner of the room, a peculiar sound issued. Going over I found Victor Heilman, August Kraft, Ernest Luke, and Thurston Wallace, each holding a glass of foaming “Crabweiser” sing¬ ing “Show me the way to Sit Down without Falling.” My thoughts quickly changed and next they took me into the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Shackleford. Buddy and Lihbv. (the former Libby Wilson) from the appearance of their home, were happily married. Buddy turned on the television set, perfected by Edwin West, and the reflector brought us the football scores of yesterday. The announcer, none other than Dick Traynham, told us that Coach Norman Tullington’s Not-A-Dame eleven extended their string of victories to eight straight games, by defeating Coach Owen Smith’s Cracker-Jack Cement Mixers team of whom Ellen Whitehouse was mascot, by the score of 9 to 7. A field goal by A1 Gmitter, son of that famous all American, Peter Gmitter, saved the day for Coach Tullington’s eleven. THE 1936 KRABBA Just then we were interrupted by a hideous shriek coming from next door. I asked Buddy what the cause was and found it to he coming from Howard Taylor, Jr. Howard Taylor and Bill Tyler were sharing the apartment next door. Traynham then announced a news flash. Charles Sigler, famous Arctic Explorer, had just accomplished a feat that Chester Gump failed to do. Charlie, better known as “Flying Chic,” had just completed a non-stop flight around the north and south poles, a feat un¬ heard of. He was accompanied by Co-Pilot Andrew Todd and a reliable crew consisting of Bill Bonning, James Cone, Turner Poe, Francis Little and Franklin Ferguson. After hearing this, I bade good-by to Buddy and Libby and continued on my wanderings. 1 found myself before the City Auditorium, reading the list of Speakers scheduled for that night. Frank Bader’s name headed the list. His topic was “Modern Physics and Chemistry.” Also slated to talk were Eileen Woods, her subject being “Matrimony,” Wilfred Hendricks, recent author of “Fundamentals of Poultry Farming” and concluding the program Neal Hughes expressing his attitude toward the crooked politician. Walking further down the street, I came to a tall stately building. As 1 entered I saw a painting of a famous woman business executive. Engraved on the bottom 1 read the name, Jane Powell. Jane was a leader in High School and followed her career as leader after completing her education. On the ninety-sixth floor I entered a room where Jane was in a heated discussion with her executives. On the board of directors were Billy Wilson, Ruby Pierce, Catherine Thomas, Penelope Smith, Edward McMullen, Annie Sear, Doris Hartman, Mary Louise Robinson and Bertha Copeland. Stenographers were rapid¬ ly taking dictation. Among them I recognized Ozelle Turner, Elizabeth Clarke, Mae Baxley, Jackie Schliesmann, Amelia Wornom, Doris Davis and Grace Lee Elliott. I left them to their worries and journeyed further. An exclusive night club came into reality. They were celebrating because Eulalia Tysinger had won the recent national beauty contest. The music was furnished by William Speake and his “Loud Speakers.” When I entered they were playing their theme song, an old favorite, “The Music Goes ‘Round and ‘Round.” Ann Maloney, the hit of the year, in her role as blues singer, was featured with Speake. At the piano was Audrey Wood, successor to Eddie Duchin, and Waverly Wornom was playing the banjo. William Speake, himself, was at the drums and the orchestra leader was Elbert Hutton, brilliant successor to Paul Whiteman. The master of ceremonies, Sidney Dealing, silenced the music ami announced the celebrities who were present. Among them were Judy Hickey, one of the great actresses of movies and stage; Helen Crichlow, Olympic swimmer; Margaret Wilson, socially promi¬ nent; Alex Wiatt, famous publisher; Virginia Parham, leader of societv; the former Sheiidan Rush, now the wife of an army officer; Mrs. Alma Liberty Wildwood; Gladys and Gertrude Muire, lovely sisters who have captured the hearts of the American people by their singing; Virginia B. Carr, author; Carrie Massenburg, one of the best women lawyers in the country. Mr. Dealing then introduced a lilt of entertainment by way of a floor show. A chorus composed of Eva Rowe, Weymouth Phillips, Wilma Miller, Doris Miles, and Frances Smith, gave a beautiful ballet dance in Russian costume. This was followed by a new arrangement of the hit song of the year, “Don’t Run Around With Tommy” by the “Harmony Trio,” three girls who justify their name: Katy Ironmonger, Ann Rooney, and Jean Collier. Hazelwood Burbank then gave a shadow boxing demon¬ stration, using that famous left forearm jot. While she was demonstrationg, she got a little too close and 1 had to dodge, but 1 was too late. 1 awakened immediately and found my cook tapping my shoulder and telling me to get my chin out of the plate. 1 decided what had just happened was not a dream hut a nightmare! 1 wonder what really has happened to the class of ’36.
