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.

Few events in the course of the school year held for all students the color and excitement of the Football Homecoming. Anticipation and pride marked the festive occasion, which dominated the conversations and minds of Hampton students for weeks. When at last the event was completed and the stadium darkened after the game there remained many impressions to last through the coming years. For Sophomores Homecoming was an event new and entirely different from past experiences. Juniors found Homecoming a time when they remembered last year and their Sophomore Homecoming. Most important of all was the Mr. 0. E. Ware crowns Lynda Farmer the 1964 Home- coming Queen as her escort, Jimmy Crockett looks on. Senior Class which remembered two homecomings and looked forward to future years and a possible return to Hampton for this event. One other facet of the night found character in the nostalgia of those who had returned for this night to watch the spectacle of the game and the glory of the half-time ceremonies. The conversations of the pranks when we were in school drifted from one alumnus to another. For each person Football Homecoming gave a different meaning but for each person memories to recall that this is Hampton High School. 10
