Mr. Lindsay and his assistants govern the affairs of the entire Hampton pub- lic school system. Mr. Lindsay ' s influence on Hampton High School reaches us through his cooperation with Mr. Lively, our principal, and the executive officers of the P.T.A. The efforts of these people have produced a high school which graduates students skilled in trades, arts, and sciences, and which is not choked with too many regulations or strict patterns of operation.

Faculty and Administration In preparing us to be adults, our faculty has both instructed us and helped us choose our careers. Their work demands patience, and they sometimes meet more disappointments than triumphs in teaching us how to letter a mechanical drawing, or how to de- cline a German noun . . . These pages will show you the people — over 100 of them — who gave their time this year to teach us to fill our world ' s picture. 7

If you wish to discuss something with the principal, you can go straight into Mr. Lively ' s office; if he is on the phone or busy with someone else, you need wait only a few minutes. No receptionist, no appointments — if he is not busy, he will see you. Mr. Lively has worked in this way as principal of Hampton High School for five years. Aside from his administrative work, he sponsors the Key Club, is present at most of our dances, goes to almost all of our games, and works to help us into col- lege or into a job. Nobody pays him for these extra hours of work; he does it to sup- port a school in which he deeply believes. GARLAND R. LIVELY Principal B.A., M.A., University of Virginia School Administration STANLEY BECOUVARAKIS Assistant Principal B.A., Otterbein College; M.A., College of William and Mary Working with Mr. Lively and Mr. Szetela on other school problems, Mr. Becouvarakis also keeps track of Hampton High ' s money. At the beginning of the year, he checks out all the Federal Survey forms, then he turns to the task of keeping straight the finances of the school ' s student publi- cations — so far Mr. Bee has kept the yearbook and newspaper business staffs from bankrupting the city of Hampton. Mr. Bee was formerly in the physical education department, and, if he can find the time, he would like to start coach work on one of the Crabber teams. Mr. Szetela works not only as assistant principal, but as Russian teacher in Hampton High. His class in Russian, which uses a first year col- lege text, has consistently produced students accepted by their colleges to step into second year work. As assistant principal Mr. Szetela helps coordi- nate the school ' s work, plan the Crabbers ' ticket-sales pro- gram, and, as dean of boys, deals in the tough job of seeing to it that Hampton High ' s boys become convinced that the only way to true happiness is obeying school rules. EDWARD R. SZETELA Assistant Principal B.S. University of Massachusetts; M.A. Cornell University Mr. Szetela, Mr. Lively, and Mr, Bee take time out to discuss school problems together. 9
