Hampton High School - Krabba Yearbook (Hampton, VA)

Page 12 text:

Designed to familiarize new students with the building and system of Hampton High School, this year opened with a unique orien- tation program held prior to the influx of returning Juniors and Seniors. In an opening assembly in the gym, welcoming speeches were made by the principals before schedules were given out. After brief class periods in which the students became acquainted with their teachers, an assembly program was presented by the SCA. This year’s officers were presented in addition to remarks made by Hampton High’s first foreign exchange student, Mar- gareta Koestner. The cheerleaders introduced themselves with a few of the familiar Crabber cheers. The students were given maps of the build- ing along with complimentary editions of the Krabba Highlight. Margareta Koestner, American Field Service for- eign exchange student, spoke to the Sophomores and other new students at the orientation assembly. Margareta comes to Hampton from her native land of Austria. Orientation Miss Howard introduces herself to one of her new students, David Phillips, while checking his schedule. The SCA served as guides for Orientation Day. Here, Lynda Whiteside gives directions to Julia Dunn. 8

Student Life There is no better example of the school spirit at Hampton High than that shown in the life of her students. From the welcoming speech of Orientation through the final cere- monies of graduation, the special events of a year in Crabberland tell the story of its stu- dents’ strong sense of pride in their high school. In the future as we glance back at our high school life, these are the events we will remem- ber . . . the influx of fifteen hundred new stu- dents for orientation . . . the festivities of Turkey Day . . . the struggles with mid-term exams . . . the beauties of our own Senior Prom . . . and finally the emotions of graduation. Here we present in substance the school spirit of Hampton High School.
