Spring Sees Seniors Relinquishing Positions Spring brings HHS students closer to the end of the school year, and with the nearing of this end comes the drawing to a close of many of the school ' s activities, with new officers and new members of clubs and teams taking over the places left vacant by graduating seniors. Many of these seniors earn various distinctions in their particular activity. The awards assembly pictured here typifies one of the many and lenghty ones held during the Spring at Hampton High. Trackmen Jimmy Crockett, Ricky Boxer, Chris Nicholson, Tommy Lyrin, Keith Kahl, Harry Logan, and Bob Cipra watch as their fellow student, David McKnight, receives one of the numerous awards given to worthy students at HHS for their outstanding achievements in athletics, scholarship, or citizenship. Juniors at HHS also have their own special activity in the spring. This is, of course, the long awaited, anxiously anticipated, arrival of their class rings. Along with the rings ' arrival and distribution comes the traditional putting on of the rings by a senior, accompanied with a kiss as the ring is being put on. Senior Billy Wood follows through with this tradition as he does the honors for junior Martha Hogge. 26

Prom Decorations and SCA Elections Twirp Week, an annual affair at HHS, highlights the spring activities. Steve Tyndall tries to convince Jane Matheson to be a good sport I and take part in this traditional escapade. Jane good-naturedly submits to his will and agrees to carry his books. Can she be convinced to be a party to the week ' s other traditions? Raising money for the Junior-Senior Prom instigated the Jr. Class ' sponsoring of a Spring talent show. Among the participants are Jeff Anthony, John Brown, Everett Hill, and Billy Thornton, who form the folk group of John Brown ' s Bodies.

Perhaps the climax of the spring activities and the one which truly marks the beginning of the end of the year and the preparation for the coming of the next year is the election of the new SCA officers. Through nominations, in class, and primaries, the slates for the two parties KRABBAKRAT and HAMPTONIANS are chosen and the campaign begins. Signs, posters, caucuses, and speeches culminate in the final step — voting. Members of the Elections Committee Nancy Martin, Billy Thorton, John Robins, and Chris Jacques count the ballots in the privacy of the SCA room. — ■ MB ' -v M ■r ' tk «=k m mm mmmb t — K v-Tbur i rr: — ’ ) m-W v JUV -I E. jr ra to Eager Juniors A revival of a Pep Club at Hampton High School was one of the more notable offerings of spring ' 65. There had been a Pep Club at HHS in previous years, but recent years saw it decline and finally dissipate altogether. Thanks to the efforts and devotion of Arthur Willersdore and Jerry Martin the much needed Pep Club was re-initiated at Hampton. New members Carol Lusse and Lynn Miller, spray letters that spell HAMPTON!. The Junior-Senior Prom can definitely be classified as one of the main highlights to a spring at HHS. Juniors, under the direction and guidance of Mr. Stanley Mitchem, handle the enormous but exciting task of decorating the boys ' and girls ' gyms for this extravagance. In the girls ' gym Sandra Hyak, Ann Thompson, Robert Riley, and Perry Pilgrim straighten out the crepe paper, multi-colored streamers which form a fascinating and colorful ceiling under which many handsome couples will dance the night away. Barbara Khun, Susan Warhol, and Terry Snyder are busy painting one of the interesting murals which transforms the brick walls of the boys ' gym into borders of trees and flowers. There is much avid participation by the juniors in this decorating job because in addition to having a rollicking good time with their friends and Mr. Mitchem, they get out of classes and get to wear bermudas! 27
