Being a Junior at HHS involves, among other things, taking an unbelievably overwhelming quantity of aptitude tests which are used by colleges as another criteria on which they base their acceptances and rejections of college-bound hopefuls. One of the most difficult, and surely the most discouraging to those with anything less than an Einstein brain, is the Merit Scholar Tests. Similar to the SAT ' s in form, their content is on a much higher level of difficulty, putting the student ' s knowledge and ability to the strictest test. This year Hampton High had six Merit Scholar finalists: (standing) John Robins, Bill Hendricks, Ricky Purvis, Margaret Northen, (sitting) Judy Graham and Sherry Pride. These finalists were picked on a nation-wide basis for their outstanding scores on the tests. They brought to HHS the honor of having more finalists than any other Peninsula high schools. Sophomores James Smith and Raechal Hatchell, Juniors Robert Corbett and Linda Firth, and Seniors Jack Dupere and Jean Poast were this fall ' s winners in the annual Red and White Day contest for football season. Spon- sored by the Special Events Committee, under John Robins, this festivity creates much school spirit, fun and laughter as all Crabbers come to school on Red and White Day dressed in their most outrageous and colorful ensembles of, of course, red and white. Each homeroom chooses its boy and girl winners and they compete with the winners from the other homerooms. Winners are picked from each class for their originality, neatness, and effort at making theirs the best red and white outfit. 7

At last the mascot of Hampton students is unveiled during the spirited Homecoming pep rally. The new Freddy, designed and built by school-spirited students under the direction of Win Winfree, was sponsored by the SCA with financial assistance by the school. The crab was designed so rising classes can add appendages and luxuries to Freddy ' s construction. For the first time students of Hampton High view their long awaited and colorful mascot.
