Although the bon-fire was rained out, the spirit of the Hampton students was bright and shone through in the parade and “Victory Dance.” Cars and trucks were decorated in red and white and colorful floats added to the festivities of the evening. Starting behind Thorpe Junior High School, the parade proceeded to weave throughout the streets of Hampton, onto Queen Street, and returned to Thorpe. Participants in the parade included school clubs such as the FTA and German Club, cheerleaders, members of the Marching Band, and sororities and fraternities. After the parade, the “Victory Bon-Fire Dance” was held in the school cafeteria. Approximately half the stu- dent body participated in this SCA sponsored affair. Thanksgiving Limitless devotion to the game as well as to the school is ch aracter- ized in the all-out effort of the boys to obtain a victory.
