“Wonderland By Night” — Juniors’ Gift to One of the highlights of the Wonderland by Night is the crowning of the king and queen. Attendants to queen Martha Reed Ennis and king Mike Yearwood are Lettie Livengood and Jimmy Crockett. Mr. Mitchem crowns the queen and presents the court with their gifts. As a sign of their appreciation for his dedicated service, the juniors present Mr. Mitchem with a gift. Seniors Jiffy Brittingham and Bob Flowers dance to the slow songs played by the Jet Rollos in the boys ' gym. Those desiring music with a faster beat spent their evening in the girls ' gym dancing to the sounds of the Stompers. Both gyms, having new faces of purple, blue, and gold and populated with beautiful dresses, flowers, and immaculate tuxs, sparkled for the occasion. New hairdos, dresses, tuxs of all colors, and smiling faces greet the assistant principals as they collect the bids, the only passport of admission, from the excited students. Junior Steve Halliday, Seniors Joan Whitaker, and Larry Bobo anxiously await admission into the gym. The first glimpse of the gym is breath-taking, for the transition is amazing. 28

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

Seniors Besides being a delightful evening for seniors, the Prom provides Hampton faculty and administration members with a gala night out. Mrs. Akers and Lt. Bob Hassee dance to the slow tempo of the music in the boys ' gym. The annual gift of the Junior Class to the Seniors is the Junior-Senior Prom. Planning, decorating, and raising money for the Prom is truly a class effort, but a few dedicated juniors shoulder most of the responsibilities. With help of the Junior Class officers and class sponsor Mr. Mitchem, committee heads Martie El let, decorations; Sharon Fairbanks, clean-up; Sharon Crockett, refreshments committee; Carolyn Gebhardt, decorations; Sharon Heintz and Pam Rosser, gifts; and Vickie Thompson, bids com- mittee, give the seniors a wonderful evening to remember. « • i m w • !
