We were lowly sophomores, but one would not have thought so had he seen us on our way to school that first morning. We were proud as peacocks until we reached school and discovered that there were such things as juniors and seniors, and that their chief joy was to deflate the col- lective ego of the sophomores. Before long, however, we found in them real friends, who swiftly indoctrinated us into the traditions of Hampton High. Football season found us eager to learn the yells and cheer for the Crabbers. Highlight of the season was the resumption of athletic relations with Newport News after a four year lapse. Thanksgiving day was set for the game to be played, and the Red and White emerged victorious. W e welcomed Christmas holidays as a time of rest from studies and preparation for exams. Having met and conquered the latter, we devoted our time and energy (what was left after studies) to basketball. The student body voiced a desire for a school newspaper; as a result, the Krabba- Highlight was born. We experienced a feeling of envy as the juniors and seniors made plans for the prom, but we knew that our time would come. Long awaited summer finally arrived, and we thankfully adjourned to the beaches. Returning to school and seeing once again all our friends made September a joyous month. Just think! We were juniors, entitled to many privileges, such as greeting the sophomores in the manner in which we were greeted one short year ago. Our pride in the Crabbers soared to new heights when they walked off with the State Championship, clinched by a decisive victory over Newport News. As juniors we selected to lead us in planning the all important Junior-Senior Prom the following officers: Jimmy Carr, President; George Becouvarakis, Vice- President; Joan Bunch, Secretary; and Donald Goldstein. Treasurer. The prom was held at the Grand View Ballroom and was a huge success. •i 30 Exams were upon us. We paused for a moment as we Ielt, to savor the know- ledge that we would return from a summer vaeation as seniors. We resolved to make our last year the very best ever. Our return in September was marked by more decorum than was common to us, for we realized that this was the last year that we would tread the halls of Hampton High. Vieing with the football team (which gave us many thrills) for our acclaim, was the band, with its new formations. The Krabba-Highlight continued to grow, and the Key Club, a boys’ organization sponsored by the Kiwanis Club with service to the school and community as its objective, came into being. Our class officers were chosen and they began immediately to face the task of preparing for graduation. Charles Quinn was elected President; Kenneth Beachum, Vice-President; Mildred Bew, Secretary; and Charles McChesney, Treasurer. The basketball squad earned a record better than that of any other Hampton basketball team in the past ten years. Now the time has come for the Junior-Senior Prom, exams, and . . . graduation. Our high school days have ended, but we realize with heads high and hearts full, that we shall always carry with us a part of the school where we were trained so well in mind and character. Conversely, we realize that a part of each of us will ever remain at Hampton High School. Alfred Kerry, Historian. 31 } LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the members of the Senior Class of Hampton High School, being of sound mind and body, in appreciation of our accomplishments, good times, and guidance rendered by the faculty do hereby make, declare, and publish this to be our Last Will and Testament. 1 .

J 33 CLASS PROPHECY ’ 50 For many years I had been connected with a large newspaper on the West Coast, and one day to my surprise I was told by the editor that I was to take a trip across the country to attend a national newspaper convention in Virginia. Matters were quickly settled and I received my last minute instructions, and to my surprise and delight I was told that the meeting would be held in the newly consolidated city of Hampton Roads. Well ! I was over joyed at this news, but before I had time to think about it I was aboard a super-jet rocket ship which whisked me from coast to coast in a couple of hours. While aboard the plane I was pleased to find that its stewardess was none other than Peggy Shell, one of my friends who attended Hamp- ton High. I soon learned from her that the pilot of this great space ship was Nelson Berry who I remembered well from my high school days. The plane soon landed at the Patrick Henry Airport and I was greeted upon arrival by some of the town’s newspaper men who had come to drive me to the hotel. The first to greet me was the sports editor Pierce Fleming, with him were Norman Patrick a photographer, and Clarence Fleshood, a reporter. We were soon in their car and nearing Wash- ington Avenue, which was before consolidation the main street of Newport News. As we drove along my friends pointed out many familiar names and people I had known in my high school days. The first among these was James Beamon who was entering the gate at the shipyard to relieve Dick Bishop as a watchman at the gate. L T pon passing the shipyard I found that Charles Quinn was president while Charles McChesney was the newly elected treasurer. As I glanced to my left I saw the names of Harvey Williams and Alfred Pond who were co-owners of a large furniture store in town. Further down the avenue I saw the old familiar theaters which my friends told me were now the Roy Overton and Herbert Walker enterprise. Showing at one of these was the K. Smith Follies in which were starring Joan Lowery, Betsy Forbes, Barbara Hayden, and Nancy Routten. The lead dancing roles were played by George Watkins and Freddie Wilson. As we halted by a stop light, on my right I saw on the window of an office building Jock Wheeler, Attorney-at-Law, and in the office next door, Carl Smith. Real estate and Insurance. Just entering a large department store I saw Mr. and Mrs. Fiske Ashe, his wife being the former Miss Betty Goodson. We turned the corner and as we passed the city hall I saw Jimmy Carr who was city manager and I learned upon inquiring that Sarah Evans was his secretary and also with his office in the same building was Alfred Kerby Mayor of this fair city. Now just before going over the bridge and leaving what used to be the suburbs of Hampton, I saw the Dominion News Company now owned and operated by Glip Goldstein. Just leaving on the afternoon run was one of the company trucks being driven by Lance Trusty and helping on the truck was Billy Boger. As we came out along the main drag, I learned about many of my friends who had moved out of this area; some of whom were, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Andleton, who were run- ning a hotel in Richmond, Mrs. Andleton before her mandate was Miss Virginia Spence. I also learned that the C. O. Railroad was now controlled by a group of stockholders, all of whom I had known well; they were John Price, Nealey Thomp- son, James Brockwell, and Bobby Ingram all of whom had moved to other cities. Then one of my friends called my attention to an ice cream truck which was driven by Carl Powell. Next a large limousine approached us and in it coming from their wo rk at Langley Field were Lela Andleton. Ruth Matthews, L te Buse- mann, June Wilmoth and Doris Tracey, the car was driven by Betty James. Now as we moved along I noticed we had come to what used to be Wythe District but was now a part of this great thriving city and on my right I saw Graves Motor Company; I found that Austin had married his high school girl friend Jeanne Willis. Then I noticed a large building which I was told belonged to some theater group here; which was running a show directed by Bob Walker; starring in the show was Billy Nelson, with vocal selections by Jack Wright and Jerry Adams. Singing the popular number of the forties, entitled “Atomic Power”, was Billy “Detoure” Blanks. Wilton Lankford’s orchestra, which was composed of Jarvis Hearn and John Long on the trumpets, and Lyman Stilley, Mildred Parker, Lois Cramer, Mildred Bew and Ann Lockwood, was playing for the show. I saw a restaurant near by which was owned by Mr. and Mrs. De Vaughn Helen Melson Phillips. Working for them was Connie Clark and Myrtle Knight. A little further on was a large { 34 J modern building called “Humphrey’s Drive-In owned by Edward Price. Inside were a number of his best customers, the Green Bay Slackers, a professional football team. Many of the players I saw at a glace were familiar. Famous players like “Defense” DeBolt, “Crusher” Gypin, Bruce “McCray” Capps, Phillip “Elon” Gibson, Bill “The Whiz” Sigler and “Rock-um Sock-um Elliott. Near by was a large barber shop owned by Reid Cutler, there were four other barbers working for him, they were Edward Bradshaw, D. C. Johnson, Gene Schenck and Donald Tabasco. He also had a manicurist and a shoe shine boy; they were Jackie Ball and Donald “Chattanooga” Boo kman. Waiting to have their hair cut were the Beachum Brothers, Jack and Kenneth, who owned a large lumber company in town. Next to this was a dress shop run by Mary Ellen Collins and Dorothy Armstrong. Buy- ing their spring outfits were Robin Sexton and Jackie Sell. After a few more miles of riding I saw a large service station owned and operated by Allen Herrington and Frank Brinegar. I could see a large car getting a complete tuning job and its owner was Eleanor Alligood, president of the National Red Cross in this area. She had a group of Red Cross workers in her car who I recognized as Virginia Cory, Ann Goodyear, Pat DeMoss, and Ernestine Tillman. Now my hear skipped a beat, for I saw the ice-plant now owned by Kenneth Godsey, and I knew I was about to see dear old Hampton High School once again after all these years, yes, there it was, as stately and lovely as ever, and upon mentioning its faculty I was told that many of my friends had returned to teach at their alma mater. Some of these included, Nancy Loving, who was teaching Spanish, Ann Sinclair, teaching English, Metta Hulcher was the new French teacher and Thelia Hudson was teaching typing while Archie Walton was the principal. Dee Steger was teaching math and Betty Brook- shire and Bill Carey were the girls’ and boys ' gym teachers. There was a new wing on the school which was being built by Thornton Woodland, a carpenter. One of my friends turned on the radio in the car and over WVEC there was Cabby Tennis introducing Reta Wiggins who was going to sing. Then an Army car driven by an M. P., James Wright, passed with Generals Lloyd Watnee and Leon Booth in the back seat. As we turned on to the main street of the former town of Hampton I noticed the offices of Dr. Fred Bane and Dentist Jack Hodge whose nurses were Nancy Conway and Ann Crockett. On my left I saw Nancy Gough, Betty Johnson, Evelyn Darden and Pat Cardwell window shopping. While across the street I saw Eugene Anderson carrying Virginia Blair’s groceries out of the supermarket to her car. And near by was John Mouring’s art studio where Ruth Mingee and Betty Mayhew were modeling. Also associated with him was Johnny Edmonds. Then 1 noticed a small shop which was owned by Juanita Gwaltney, June Liberty, and Pat Patton who were interior decorators. I also saw a large poster about a famous girls’ choir which was in town. It was directed and conducted by Jane SeyfFert. Some of its talent included Frangie Spradlin, Fannie Hoffman, Evelyn Pegg and Jo Ann Goodrich. On the other side of the street I saw three employees of the First National Bank, they were Lottie Bruce, Sally Jester and Sue Woodward. With them was Dorothy Beale, and Grace Gray who now worked in the Post Office. As we crossed the bridge I saw Kennon Whiting with his dog trying out a new motor on his boat and to my right was Wallace Johnson’s fish packing house. We were soon in the former town of Phoebus where I saw Margaret Rhea just coming out of the drug store, while across the street was Wilber Higgins and Tommy Reece’s garage. Coming up the street I saw Harry Wallace, Richard Ferris, Bob Norton, Terry Bruce and Melvin Firman in uniform, they were all stationed at Fort Monroe. We soon arrived at the Hotel Chamberlain where I was to stay and there at the hotel I saw Tou Sain Storm and Jackie Hilty who owned the hat shop in the hotel. Staying at the hotel also was Robert Stickle a top man at N.A.C.A. working on the H. Bomb. Enjoying a cool, refreshing dip in the pool that afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Mary Spence Harris, and on the dock were several of my former classmates, Joan Bunch, Virginia Stump, Eleanor Carroll, Jessie Owens, and Betty Wallace. They were going to Baltimore to see the races at Belmont. That night as I retired I thought how wonderful it had been seeing all my friends that day and I wondered about those I had not seen, and thought to myself aloud- I wish all of those whose names do not appear here the best of luck — as I do to all the members of the Class of ’50. Raymond Horsley, Prophet ’ 50 . i 35 POEM of ’50 When we were lowly sophomores We gazed around in awe. The friends, the fun of Hampton High We never even saw. The semesters finally passed by In each class, a final test. We worried and we studied, some, And passed with the rest. In our Junior year we followed Every craze and every fad. From yo-yos to doll babies We thought it not so mad. Now at last we ' re Seniors, Polished is the word, To say we ' re glad to leave here Would surely be absurd. When we leave the halls of Hampton That we walk along today We ' ll remember Hampton Though we are far away.

The Hampton High School Troop No. 300 was chartered in 1935. Membership in the National Thespians is the highest dramatic honor that a student can attain in high school. Thespians are appointed by the troop sponsor and the officers of the organization. They are members of the Garrick Dramatics Club who have done outstanding work on the production staff or in the cast of the plays given in the fall and spring of the year by the Garrick Dramatics Club. After Graduation last June, nine Thespians took the annual trip to New York with Miss Elizabeth Boyenton and Mr. William C. Kramer. The group saw the plays “Mr. Roberts”, “Anne of the Thousand Days”, “Where’s Charley” and “High Button Shoes.” They stayed at the Hotel Taft, visited many places of interest in the city and crowded as much as possible in the short week. Every one had a wonderful time. OFFICERS President Jane Seyffert Vice-President Bill Carey Secretary Nancy Gough Treasurer Sue Woodward Sponsor William C.

Kramer, had an outstanding 1949-50 season. “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” was the fall production and played to full houses both nights, October 27 and 28. “Jane Eyre”, the spring production, was presented March 2 and 3. The Victorian splendor created by the production staffs for the setting of “Jane Eyre’s” Thornfield Hall was considered to have been one of the finest settings yet seen at Hampton High School. Audience enthusiasm prompted Mr. Kramer to enter two scenes of “Jane Eyre” in the Virginia High School League district one-act play contest held in Williamsburg. The judges awarded the entry from Hampton “best play in contest” and rated the drama “distinguished.” Robert Walker as Rochester was named best actor and Louise Gardapee as Mrs. Fairfax, second best actress. Two weeks later the entry competed in the State Finals at the University of Virginia and received additional praise. The annual banquet held at the Coca-Cola Building on May 1 1 wound up official activities for the year. Miss Elizabeth Boyenton was always behind us with her advice and helping hand whenever needed. The Class of ’50 will remember “Arsenic and Old Lace”, “The Barrets of Wimpole Street”, “She Stoops to Conquer”, “The Admirable Crichton”, “Ever Since Eve”, “You Can ' t Take It With You”, and especially the two successful pro- ductions of the Senior year, “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” and “Jane Eyre.” a CC 02 U O U3 c j Ch H 32 CC 03 Q D O c n J J 03 H O O fa O CN ri M - tN cn o r- m o m m m «— tj- t— m m o m oc o � - N - n - - t n m Z — Id D 5 Q Z - I s ' o O d z z OC fa Z = 0 H a: 1 x P£ C Z z O ' -v o c t- o u — fa O v. id Z qc j £ a- o Cj Q. u p 1) 5 H u w fa 0 fa £ C 2 £ id z a: c T a. - u id U D as 3 C - id w 3 C id Z X U U o p « a: V3 cu u id U - a: rjo z c o © z o 32 id u o o a HAMPTON 25 — BENEDICTINE 6 When the entire “Dream backfield” of the 1948 State Champions departed along with several other first string linemen, the fortunes of the 1949 Crabbers appeared at low ebb. However, within a very short time the new job seekers were hard at work and very determined to pull a “Repeat” in the tough eight conference games scheduled. Nine thousand fans were on hand at Darling Memorial Stadium for the opening kick off. Starting on their own 27 the Crabbers began a steady march and 15 plays later Billy Harrison drove between Capps and Sigler for the T. D. Boswell and Gann did most of the carrying but Brewer showed his heels on a 17 yard sprint during this drive. Benedictine tied it up a few minutes later by moving 17 yards after recovering a Crabber fumble. Then Cap- tains Elliott and Blanks went to work. The former re- covered a Cadet fumble and the latter took a T. D. pass from Jack Clark which decided the contest. Brewer and Harrison carried the ball for the last two scores and the 1949 Crabbers had gotten off on the right foot with a 25 to 6 win. HAMPTON 27 — MAURY 0 Many mistakes were apparent in the opener and the coaches went to work again. Maury, “the Maker or Breaker” of the season was next on the Schedule. Again the stadium was packed to see if what was touted to be the best line in the state could stop the fast Hampton backfield. The Crabbers scored in the second period as Harrison crashed over Boone and Copeland for 3 yards. The featured play of the game came in the third quarter when Boswell, finding no hole had opened between Jones and Blanks broke thru between Boone and Copeland and sprinted 54 yards. On this play, Turock, the big Maury tackle, piled up 5 Crabber blockers by driving outside but Boswell took advantage of this and went inside him and away to the goal line. With Gann, Blanks, Harrison, Boswell, Brady, and Brewer doing most of the running and Rudy Hendricks sparkling on defense the Crabbers scored twice again. Blanks toe was accurate three times and the Crabbers were off to a good start. Maury made only one bid. Getting the ball on the Hampton 3 yard line as the result of a fumble late in the fourth the Commodores were unable to score. Curtis Knight was largely responsible for the solid barrier offered by the Red and White. Abner Neal, a new comer, showed great promise for the future in this game. HAMPTON 34 — CRADDOCK 0 Craddock ' s Admirals were the next conference opponents to be met. Boasting of fourteen letter men and a .500 per- centage in league play, the Admirals crossed the James determined to pull an upset. Early in the game the Crabbers gained possession on Craddock ' s 20. In three plays, Gann, Boswell, and Blanks drove for a score with Gann carrying the ball over Joe Elliott. Rudy Hendricks and Blanks combined to recover another Craddock fumble a few minutes later and Boswell then set sail for the goal, which was thirty yards away. Boswell also ran thirty-two yards behind good blocking in the second quarter for the twentieth point of the first half. With most of the first string under wraps in the second half, the Hampton second and third strings continued to go. { 63 HAMPTON 6 — THOMAS JEFFERSON 13 Some three thousand Red and White followers lined the high ways and special train to witness the next con- ference game, which was played with Thomas Jefferson of Richmond. The T. J. ' s were big and experienced and everyone knew they would offer the stiffest competition thus far in the season. Early in the game the Hampton weaknesses began to show ' . These were a lack of good punting, passing, and poise, which was natural for a new team. T. J. scored twice on two breaks. In the first period Billy Blanks ' kick was blocked and recovered on the Hampton two yard line. The Crabber line held for three downs, but Jim Marchette tossed a flat pass to half- back Wallace, for a touch down on the fourth down. Ashworth made it seven points with his conversion. Mid way the third period Gann hurled a pass intended for Knight. The ball bounced from Knight’s hand, was picked up so low by Bobby Myer, that most of the Crabbei s thought it had hit the ground. Myer raced with the ball all the way to the Crabbers twenty and from that spot Marchette circled the Crabbers end for a touch down. The Crabbers came back in the fourth, working the ball down to the T. J. twenty. Phil Gibson gathered in a short pass from Bill Harrison and bulled his way into the end zone. The Crabbers almost pulled a Frank Merriwell finish. With only seconds remaining Abner Neal recovered a T. J. fumble on the fifty. Neal then caught a pass on the T. J. eighteen but time ran out as the Crabbers were getting ready for one more pass. HAMPTON 20— JOHN MARSHALL 7 John Marshall, with a powerful, tricky, but green team was next to visit Darling Memorial Stadium. The Blue and White was gaining strength with each week-end but was not quite ready when it reached Crabber Land. The Crabbers played their best defense game of the season, holding John Marshall to only two first downs while piling up twenty of their own. The prettiest run of the night was made by Buddy Simmons, John Marshall halfback, who took a kick-off following the first Hampton touch down and raced some ninety-five yards through the entire Crabber team, tieng the score seven to seven. However, by relentless driving, the Crabbers kept the Marshallites deep in their own territory throughout the remainder of the game and opened huge holes in their lines for Bill Harrison to drive through for scores on two other occasions. The Crabbers pass defense was at its best in this ball game. HAMPTON 20 — SALEM 0 The Crabbers embarked on their second trip on October 28, when they headed for Salem and another con- ference game. Quite a bit of tension was aroused in the Crabber camp before the game because of game conditions. The field had taken a steady beating from a hard rain and it continued to rain through the ball game. Many of the Crabber followers were wondering what would happen when Frank Boswell, Jack Gann, Billy Blanks, and the other fast backs tried their cut back plays on this muddy field. Salem threw up a stout 7-2-2 defense expecting to stop the drive of the Crabbers at the line and worrying very little about passing with conditions as they were. The Crabbers started off as usual putting on a substantial drive the first time they got the ball. Boswell, Harrison, and Gann drove through the Salem line for more than { 64 three hundred yards rushing, while the Hampton line held Salem to but one first down. HAMPTON 28 — WARWICK 0 Nine throusand fans sat through a perfect football night to watch the Crabbers engage the Farmers of Warwick High School in the Crabbers’ sixth league contest. War- wick was still a power in the group one circle, having lost only one contest and was expected to match Hampton score for score in this game. The Crabbers, however, were happy to be back before the local fans again and fully repaid their followers for journeying to Darling Memorial Stadium to witness a game. Warwick started off strong and showed their best offensive of the game the first time they received the ball. The Crabbers held the Farmers on their own twenty yard line early in the first period and finally got underway during the last part of the period. The longest run of the evening was staged by Billy Harrison, who found perfect blocking on a quick opening through the Warwick guard and Billy sprinted for the second Hampton score. The last Crabber touch down was made by Royce Jones, who intercepted a for- ward pass and behind some beautiful blocking by Bobby Brady, ran for a score. Royce Jones also kicked four perfect placements out of four trys in this game. HAMPTON 21 — LYNCHBURG 19 The next ball game was the one which many fans believed to be the best football game they had ever seen. It pitted untied, unbeaten Glass High School against the Crabbers, who were still in the running for the State Championship. Twelve hundred fans remembering how Lynchburg had almost snatched the Championship away from the Crabbers in 1948, crowded into Darling Memorial Stadium to witness almost a replica of the ’48 affair. With only one more game to play, both Glass and Hampton stood good chances to win the Championship and it was a natural for the fans. The Crabbers, as usual, began this game with a touch down drive the first time they had the ball. After two first downs, Frankie Boswell took a reverse hand-off from Billy Harrison and after receiving good blocking by Jack Boone and Phil Gibson, sailed for the goal line, which was thirty-five yards away. He was chased all the way by Jimmy Wade, All Southern back from Lynchburg. Jones made the extra point. Trailing by thirteen to seven with three minutes to go and on its own sixteen yard line, the case looked hopeless for Hampton. However, the last three minutes provided the greatest explosion of fire works ever seen in the Crabber Park. Royce Jones moved into the back-field for the injur- ed Blanks, circled left and went for twenty-four yards on the first play and on the next Frank Boswell broke through tackle and moved for sixty yards in a spine tingling dash down the left side line for the thirteenth Crabber point. The greatest roar ever head in the Crabber Park came when Jones split the up-rights putting the Crabbers ahead four- teen to thirteen. After the next kick-off, Joe Elliott inter- cepted Wade’s pass and was stopped on the Lynchburg twenty-three. Boswell then proceeded to circle right end shaking off three tackles and going all the way. Jones calmly booted point twenty-one. With only seconds to play, Jimmy Wade dropped back and shot a pass to Tommy Phillips for twenty yards and Phillips ran forty more for another score. The final score was twenty-one to nineteen and Flampton fandom was limp. i 65 HAMPTON 0 — NEWPORT NEWS 6 Eleven thousand fans were on hand Thanksgiving Day to watch the annual renewal of the Hampton-Newport News football contest which was staged in Darl- ing Memorial Stadium. The Typhoons were a vastly underrated team, yet finally got itself into high gear for this contest. Throughout the season full-back Keeter and half-back Begor had been injured just enough to keep them from reaching their peaks, but they had rounded into shape and were ready for the Crabbers when the whistle blew. The game was a hard fought and even battle for most of the way, but the Typhoons capitalized on one of its breaks to score the only touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Hampton had three golden opportunities to take over. The first of these came at the beginning of the second half. Passes and off-tackle slants carried the Crabbers from the kick off to the eight. On the fourth down Billy Harrison ran through for a first down on the five, but the officials detected a Crabber off-side and the Red and White was penalized to the sixteen. Two muffed passes with apparently clear fields ahead also crossed the Crabbers and on one occasion Frankie Boswell was caused to stumble by the last Typhoon who had a chance to reach him. He fell before he could right himself and take off for the goal. The Typhoons got lost on one opportunity in the second quarter when Bobby Fuller fell on Boyles’ fumble. The winning touchdown was scored late in the fourth quarter when Keeter intercepted a Harrison pass and brought it back to the Hamp- ton forty-five. Here, Newport News completed its only forward pass of the game, from Boyles to Joseph and the ball rested on the Hampton twenty-six. Bobby Fennel, playing his last game for the Typhoons, broke around the right side of the Crabber line on his reverse and swept across the goal line untouched. The extra point was wide and the score was six to nothing. The Crabbers tried hard but the spark wasn’t there and when the spark isn’t there, the breaks don’t come and the Red and White went down to defeat to the Typhoons for the first time in fifteen years. Co-Captain Bill Blanks and Joe Elliott turned the reins over to Co-Captain Jack Boone and Royce Jones for 1950. The squad of 1950 will take over next August with hope of bringing the bacon back to Hampton again. .Seven home games are scheduled and the team will travel to Maury, Newport News and Richmond for the only out of town games. •{ 66 }• VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD 1st Row: Donald Goldstein, Raymond Horsley, Managers. 2nd Row: Coach Art Spoltore, Burleigh DeBolt (G), Jim Bowen (F), Capt.

In spite of the long lay off the team as a whole was a well rounded team with the strong points being the pitching and defensive work in general. Baseball should gain more popularity in years to come. After getting this new athletic team organized practice started on March 1, but with the bad weather conditions there was very little pre- season practice, and consequently, the team taking the field against a Veteran Maury team on April 6 was a new team with a new sport at Hampton High School, but a team of which the school should be justly proud.
