Class History THE TALE WE SENIORS TELL It was in September of the year ONE NINE FOUR TWO that we scrambled out of packed buses and crowded street cars and entered our freshman year at Hampton High School. Our first days found us wandering through the school's labyrinth halls. hunt- ing for classes bending under weight of our history, science and comic books. It didn't take us long to learn the ropes and we were soon leading a normal freshman life-taking our places at the end of the lunch line and snitching chairs from other tables. Two outstanding things of our rat year have printed themselves idelibly on our minds. Hamptonis victorious hardfighting Crabbers,' were rewarded with the Class A State Championship and our foe the Blue and Goldi' was forced to bite the dust of defeat. My, but we were proud of this. Eagerly we awaited the Christmas holidays which approached with snail like speed and departed much more quickly. We struggled through our first exams and learned the definition of cramming. Iune showed up soon after and to the tune of No more lessons, no more books , we cleared out our desks and left for summer vacation--much to the relief of our teachers. September, '43 found us back again at H. H. S. tanned and raring to gobble up knowledge. It was comical--the serious business-like way in which we set out to persecute the freshmen--we, who the year before had worn the same red brand on our bewildered foreheads. One's Sophomore year is usually the most uneventful one. Some of us broke the monotony by taking a day vacation-- Hockey they call it. After- ward we found it was safer to stay in school. D Practically nothing occurred during the winter, basketball games helped to cheer us, and we found that a little work doesn't go so bad once in a while. But in the springtime, ah! that's another tale. With great effort and much perspiration we got through exams, happy at the thought of only two more years to go--we hoped. On returning to school, we found that several things had changed, for instance, our increased number. We became acquainted with many new class- mates from Phoebus and George Wythe. We also began to feel the grim effects of rationing, as we battled for Hershey bars in the cafeteria. Luckily there were no serious casualties. The time soon came to elect junior officers, and we assembled in the auditorium where our class became organized, with Billy Boyer as president, Paul Garber as vice-president, jackie Pettitt as secretary, and Beverly Gunn as treasurer. School activities kept us pretty busy right up until Iune--pep rallies, foot- ball games, meetings, spring fever, and plans for the Junior-Senior prom. Be- fore we knew it, exams were over and we were free for three glorious months of vacation and boy! did we need them. Page Twenty-eight
