Thanksgiving Day Win Over All the boys could not play at once but even when they were not in the game they cheered the team on to victory. Thanksgiving came to Crabberland bringing more excitement than a turkey dinner. To Hampton High students Thanksgiving day meant a great deal. Firstly for its religious significance and sec- ondly because it was the day that the Hampton football team met the “mighty” Newport News Typhoons and defeated their arch rival 15-13. The festive Turkey Day weekend began on Wednesday night with the traditional parade through the streets of downtown Hampton. Most school organizations spon- sored a vehicle in the parade, and prizes were awarded to the best entries. Students who participated in the parade sang school songs or cheers, while the rest of the stu- dent body lined the streets to cheer. When the parade returned to the school, a tre- mendous bonfire was held. The fire, which symbolized the destruction of the Ty- phoons, could be seen for miles about the school. Following the bonfire , a dance sponsored by the SCA, was held in the school Cafeteria. Returning home after the pre-game festivities, the students had vi- sions of defeating the “glorious” team from Newport News for the first time in five years. The following afternoon brought Hampton its long anticipated clash with the Typhoons, along with a sumptuous turkey dinner for all of the students. A fine halftime program was presented by the bands of the two high schools. Neverthe- less, the well-deserved victory over the “Big Wind” provided a glorious “dress- ing” for the Thanksgiving Turkey. Tri-captain Johnny Pabst led the team onto the field through the “Victory ’63” sign on Thanksgiving Day. (

Big Wind” Climaxed Weekend The Turkey Day victory over the Newport News Ty- phoons brought smiles to the faces of all of the Crabbers, but none revealed as much pleasure as that of Johnny Pabst, Crabber co-captain and first-string quarterback. “Here’s to Hampton High School . . began the tradi- tional strains of the Crabber fight song as it sounded forth from Hampton’s award win- ning band during the half- time program presented by the band on Thanksgiving Day. The football field was a place of fun, competition, and rivalry, but it was also the scene of friendship. The two school mascots, Nancy Mur- awski, sister of Hampton cheerleader Jean Murawski, and Robin Duff, daughter of Newport News Coach, Junior Duff, displayed the friendship that existed between the two rival schools.
