Female students, like Linda Ingram, spent many mornings getting excuses from Mrs. Nancy Quinn. The boys had to get theirs from the assistant principal, Mr. Gibson. Is Never Dull Then entirely exhausted, the stupified scholar stum- bled to his locker, where he was probably assaulted by a contrary load of books. The final scene of the day was a sa age rush for the buses and home. Next day — a carbon copy, but to the proud Crabbers it was the most original version in High School Row. S«tvu»c 4-.MW The end of the day found students rushing to get on the buses for home and start their awaiting homework. Mary Polifka and John Lerner climbed the steps to the sec- ond floor on route to another day at HHS. Wayne Marshall, James Russell, Sonny Banton, and Hobie Shields found that the end of the day was a happy time. School was a good place to be for only six hours.

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.

A Festive Air Surrounded Many beautiful corsages were seen around Darling Memorial Stadium on the night of football Homecoming. These flowers were sold by the FTA. Mr. Garland R. Lively placed the crown on the head of Kathy Seaton, the Football Homecoming Queen. After the crowning, Kathy was honored with a traditional kiss from the principal. Curwin Abbott served at Kathy’s escort. The Senior Class homecoming representative, Beate Lindingcr, escorted by Warren Chap- man, entered the field as the band played “Stairway to the Stars.” She was followed by junior attendant, Martha Reed Ennis escorted by Billy Greenberger, and sophomore at- tendant Robyn Fox escorted by Wayne Marshall. The attendants were elected from their respective classes and the escorts were chosen by the girls. 14
