K 1963 Seniors Are Bid Farewell Decorations in variegated colors from lavender to pink set the background for the theme of the 1963 prom — “Moon River.” Students and faculty members danced to the music of Jett Rollo in the boys’ gym and the “Blazers” in the girls’ gym. Both bands pro- vided popular and older hits for the enjoyment of all those present. During the intermission, prin- cesses and princes from each of the Senior English classes were presented. To highlight the even- ing, the king and queen were crowned by Mr. Lively. A solo piano selection was presented by Brenda Dancey, and Carol Town- send sang “Moon River” as the court was presented. Many days of hard work by Mr. Mitchem and all committees were rewarded on the night of May 3, as everyone declared it to be a most enjoyable evening and a most beautiful prom. Mr. Stanley Mitchem crowns Paulette Jackson queen of the 1963 Prom as king, Chandler Nelms, watches. Paul- ette and Chandler were chosen by popular vote of the senior class.

Class Night Introduced Year’s Final Events “Thanks for the Memories” was the theme of Class Night, 1963. The program was based upon the memories we hold of our days at Hampton High School. It was cleverly staged with three an- nuals, representing the Seniors, sophomore, junior, and senior years at HHS. In an effort to maintain the dignity of this, your 1963 KRABBA, its cover was not revealed, while only a facsimile of it repre- sented our Senior year. Included in the program were the readings of the Class History and Prophecy and the Last Will and Testament, the introduction of the Hall of Fame, and the presentation of gifts by the Giftor- ian on behalf of the Senior Class. Standing ovations for Mr. Szetela, Mr. Lively, and Miss Lane provided a fitting climax for the evening’s program. Irene Lenkerd and Bob Kenney portrayed graduating Seniors in reflections of the Seniors’ last year. A part of the Class Night program was the stage introduction of the Senior Hall of Fame. 29
