TURN YOU ON? Janet Riddick, President of the Latin Club, led the members in a most exciting year. During the year the Latin Honor Society in¬ ducted over 15 new members at their two banquets. The club sold calendars and had car washes to raise money. The year was fun and exciting. The basic purpose of the Latin Club was to promote the language of Latin to all students of H.H.S. Next year is expected to be even bigger and brighter! Truly, Latin Lives Today! ORGANIZATIONS —

Th¬ ese included an Octoberfest Picnic, a trip to Washington, D.C., making Leb- kuchen for Valentine’s Day, a camping trip, a regional convention, and the annual banquet.

Other ac¬ tivities included participating in the Foreign Language Week which con¬ cluded with the annual banquet; sev¬ eral members corresponding with stu¬ dents in France to exchange ideas, vis¬ iting a French restaurant, and a picnic to end the school year.

MATH HONOR SOCIETY AND COMPUTER MATH Math Honor Society members grin at the camera. One of the most active clubs at HHS this year was the Math Honor Society. Under their sponsors, Mrs. Weeks and Miss Sheehan, the club had several guest speakers which spoke about such interesting topics as “How to Win at Craps” and “Mathematical Shortcuts.” During the year, the Math Honor Society has been involved in inter-club sports, sponsored a career day, and planned a bike hike for the Spring. A person can become a member by achieving a 5.0 grade aver¬ age after completing second-year Algebra and must be currently enrol¬ led in a math course. The officers for the year were Alan Dennard, Presi¬ dent, Terry O’Neil, Vice-President, and Julie Turpin, Secretary-Treasurer. One of the smaller clubs at Hampton this year was the Computer Math Club. Their unique Crabber Computer with Robot Man created quite a sensa¬ tion among the younger fans during the Homecoming Parade. Intramural soccer and volleyball were a diversion from the usual program. A highlight of the year was a field trip to N.A.S.A. to see the scientific computor there. On May Day, students were able to play computer games for a price. Did any¬ one beat the computer. To promote interest in science fic¬ tion by putting together a magazine, making filmstrips and pamplets on sci¬ ence fiction for English classes and to build up a library of science fiction books is the purpose of the Science Fiction Society, or as they prefer to be known.
