ON TO NEW YORK “Get it on” was the slogan for HHS’s History Club. Under the leadership of President Danny Bunn, the club spon¬ sored many activities such as selling cer¬ tificates to help the German Exchange students see the Nation’s capital, a car wash and a banquet. The Historians also visited the bustling city of New York in November. Well, it’s like this. i Togetherness! What do we do now? THINK 1 1 . ! 1 1 1 1 5 “To provide an opportunity to ex¬ pand the minds of the students of HHS” was the purpose of the Philosophical Society.

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.

CHESS TEAM, SKI CLUB 1 The Hampton Chess Team spearheaded by Daniel Wentz and Paul Macklin was disappointed this year by failing to achieve their annual undefeated record. Instead, the chess team finished third in the district with a eight win, three loss record. With the expectation of many returning chess players, Hampton can expect a promis¬ ing future again next year, “On your left and right,” was a sound commonly heard by skiers on the ski slopes of Virginia. The ski club of Hampton managed to “hit” the slopes of Bryce Mountain and Mas¬ sanuter in more ways than one.
