CLASS HISTORY 949 In September of 1945 a group of enthusiastic and ambitious boys and girls passed through the halls of Hampton High School for the first time as students. Little did we realize that on the knowledge we absorbed during the next three years may be based our future success in life. For many of us, the first big impression of high school was the football season- we cheered enthusiastically, filled with pride for the Red and White. After the welcome break of the Christmas holidays, we settled down to prepare ourselves for the tests that would advance us a half step in our high school lives. After this first proof that we were becoming slowly but surely educated, we used our newly acquired Grabber sprit to support the basketball team. The rush and excitement of the school play made it seem as though summer came all at once, and we began our summer vacation. We rc-entered school in the fall of 1946, with a new feeling of pride for even though we were still being looked down upon by our upper classmen, we finally had someone to whom we could feel superior. Football and basketball brought back welcome thrills and excitement after which we submerged ourselves in study for exams. Before we knew what was happening, summer was here and our Sophomore days were completed. The importance of being a junior brought encouragement to us in September of 1947. We were feeling more and more like old-timers around school during the football and basketball seasons. The junior class elected the following officers: Bruce Capps, Presidentg Dick Offringa, Vice-President, Sylvia Bodie, Secretary, and Ruth Mingee, Treasurer. Then time drew near for the junior-Senior Prom, and soon it was something to look back on with pleasure. Summer came, and we left school with a feeling of awe as we realized that wc would return as Seniors. i28l'
