Managers David Vohringer and John Robins, along with Allen Baxter, came to the aid of injured player, Charlie Hill. Charlie recovered from his agony to re-enter the game and help lead the team to victory. College Night High-Light Fall Season Also they remembered all of those surprise quizzes that the teachers used to wake everyone up on Monday mornings. And one could never forget the broken burrette in Chemistry or the lost Eng- lish book. Then there was the time that people were sent home to return forgotten Federal Forms. Nevertheless all of these happenings were not all for the bad. At least they can laugh when they look back on them. All in all the rich experiences they gained while students at Hampton High School contributed much to the development of both our minds and our personalities. As students, they were greatly indebted to their teachers and fellow students, who serving as a part of the school gave them much to strive for in the future and much to re- member from their youth.

Settle Poythress studied the list of colleges represented at College Night to decide which one she would attend. Freddy the Crab played an important part at all home games in leading the Crabbers to victory over all their rivals. Red and White Day This was Hampton High School, and the students be- lieved it was the best high school in the nation. When they graduated they would have spent three of the most exciting years of their lives as Crabbers at Hampton.

The first occurence of any typical day at HHS was the arrival at school. Susie Emery and Brenda Dudley, like so many of the fellow students, arrived loaded down with books. .Arnold Farber led a group of students from their classroom where they merged with many others to form the crowded halls at HHS. A Typical Day at Hampton Assuming that the student had safely endured the hazardous rigors of Hamp- ton High School’s daily traffic situation, the immediate problem was to reach a homeroom before the tardy bell rang. The ensuing pandemonium was com- posed of morning announcements, a devotional, roll call, and various miscel- laneous tasks, such as distributing library notices. Federal forms, and hopefully collecting report cards. Classes began with the grinding business of quizzes, assignments, tests, home- work and classwork occupied a portion of the period, leaving the remainder of time to wander unmindfully to any and all topics. The repetition was relieved by the “artful dodging” to the next class, where a ditto of the previous hour occurred. Lunch was an eagerly awaited phenomenon and no amount of maneuvering would prevent mass mobbing, with the result that e ' eryone arrived at the cafe- teria and no one ate. This was supported by the disconcerted students and grumbling stomachs that arrived (perhaps on time) to the following period class. Lack of nourishment was compensated for by sleeping, since the student more-than-likely remained awake all night to complete his work. Typical classes led to typical lunch periods, where sophomores John Hart, David Francis, and James Russell found enjoyment in the fine cooking of the cafeteria staff.
