During the 1976-77 election year, competition was the key word through¬ out Hampton High School and the neighboring communities. The race for representation of the First District in the House of Re¬ presentatives was so close the outcome was unpredictable. Paul Trible, Bob Quinn and Mary McClain, candidates for the House seat, spoke to H.H.S. students during an assembly. After hearing the candidates’ platforms, stu¬ dents participated in a mock election which declared Paul Trible the victor. Competition was equally stiff in Junior Varsity football and Varsity wrestling. Much energy, concentration and determination is required to pro¬ duce a victorious Crabber team. Stu¬ dents supported their teams through banners, attendance and spirit. 1. Grant Owens tries to pin his opponent. 2. Rachel Youngblood holds her banner during a pep rally. 3. Paul Trible speaks to H.H.S. students during an assembly. 4. Ricky Brake holds his candidate’s poster. 5. Gary Rosenthal rests on the sideline during the Menchville game.
