CLASS HISTORY - 1944 - By Jane Moore SEPTEMBER 5, 1940 It’s the beginning of a new decade and a new life. We, the mighty leaders of grammar school, become lowly “rookies” in that famed institution, high school! After the somewhat embarrassing initiation, wd join the degraded ranks of freshmen resembling our ancestors of yore— the wild American Indians! Of course, red and white are the predominating colors. Under the heartless stare of upper-classmen, we timidly take our places among seasoned veterans. After several weeks of utter confusion, we “get the hang of things”, and begin to feel not quite so insignificant. The football season adds prestige to our now distinguished statures of being high school students. On Thanksgiving Day there is the usual Hampton vs. Newport News game We are rough ’n’ ready and ratin ' to go, and hold the Typhooners to a 0-0 tie. After so-o-o long, the hopefully awaited Christmas holidays become a reality. After a week of fun-making, we resume our burden, elect officers, and struggle on to June. SEPTEMBER 7, 1941 We’re up one more rung of the ladder of knowledge. We carry ourselves with a bit more dignity for at least the freshmen must look up to us— at last! Once more the football season comes and goes and with it the glorious event of the year, the Hampton-Newport News gridiron gala. After a rootin’ tootin ' battle, the game ends this year as last, a 0-0 stalemate. Another highlight of the football season is an upset in the form of Glass High School of Lynchburg. Ah, did our team go places! We, the under- dogs, defeated the Senators 20-6. This gave our team a bit of publicity and made us just a wee bit favored over the Typhooners. Our basketball season was rather rugged. H. H. S. won only 5 out of 11 games, but there were “oodles” of thrills, nevertheless. December 7, 1941 marks a startling change in our lives. War comes crashing headlong into our serenity. Although our hearts are low, our chins are high as we enter smilingly into the Yuletides season. The New Year finds us once more engrossed in readin’, writin’, and ’rithmetic. Richard Imus is elected the esteemed leader of our Sophomore group. After a serious epidemic of “spring fever”, we finally get a well-deserved recuperation period. SEPTEMBER 10, 1942 Radical changes have been made in our Junior class, for something has definitely been added. Newcomers from George Wythe and Phoebus Page Twenty-four
