The Hampton High School Crabber Band, otherwise known as the “Pride of the Peninsula’’, had a very good march¬ ing season this year. As well as marching in all the home and district football games and parades, the marching Crabbers participated in com¬ petitions, including those held at Indian River, Manteo, and Churchland. This year was special for the band be¬ cause it was the first time they received a first place trophy for Best Overall Band This award proved that the hard work and long practices of all the band members paid off. In the words of Marc C. Gillions, band director, “If you work hard and really con¬ centrate, you can be the best. The band has proven this, time and time again!

In Memory John Poh was the beloved di¬ rector of the Campus Life organi¬ zation for Hampton. Early last summer, he died of heart failure. Although Mr. Poh knew he had a heart disease which was incur¬ able without a transplant, he dedicated his last remaining years to helping the youth of the city. He was known and en¬ deared for his ability to communi¬ cate with kids as well as his ne- verending selflessness. He was a well respected mem¬ ber of the community and a dear friend to all. He is and always will be greatly missed. John, to you, we give our love and fondest feelings. John Poh enjoyed the many outings he chaperoned. Campus l ife 11
