Class Histnrg Starting from scratch is probably an ideal way to describe the way the Seventh Grade students entered Hampton Junior High School, way back in the year of 1939. Not only were we starting out on a new phase of life, but we were so small, we looked like scratch! Remember that year? From then on. everything was as normal as could be-that is, including the trouble and worries we caused our teachers. If it hadn't been for our constant rumpus. how far would Hampton have advanced? It took our rumpus to keep Hampton alive with spirit. CI won- der if a certain teacher ever did find out which one of us hid her lunch?j About this time considerable excitement was felt by the 9th graders. Oh, I beg your pardon. I should say, by the Freshmen of Hampton. For at the end of that time, we eagerly awaited the moment of our graduation. In Rinso white dresses, corsages of roses, which seemed to be everyone's favorite flower, compared with the Sunday suits, polished shoes, white shirts. and flashy ties, of our young gentlemen, we carried on the tradition of Hampton High School. Before I go on, let me tell you Cconfidentially between just you and meh, though we were praised by compliments at how perfectly at ease we were and with complete poise Cwe didn't havej , we were scared stiff. So don't worry, dear followers. if you think your knees will give way before it's all over. when your turn comes in due time. Let me mention that we then became l0th graders. We were quite satisfied with that title but because of our kind hearts, in order not to hurt the feelings of our officials. we permitted them to bestow upon us the title of Sophomore. Don't you admire us for being so loyal and unselflsh to our school? We left our Sophomore title to become Juniors. That pleased us some- what as it was an indication we were not only lessening the years of school before us. but we were getting older. fWait 'til we are twenty-five, we'll be wishing we were Juniors againj. I think we will remember our Junior year with a dignity of more senti- ment, because it was the year we saw our school chums leave for service in the call of our country. That left very few boys to join us in our enthusiasm to end the last day of our Junior year. I was kindly threatened that if I dared to overlook including in my script. well-anyway, did you notice that one day, as a complete surprise, all the Seniors of '44 came to school dressed up ? They really presented a fine showing. Since experience is the best proof Cbeing a Senior myselfj, up until now we didn't lose too much sleep over our homework. CDid I say that?D Well, I had better explain before the Senior class calls me a traitor. . According to Webster. in order to lose something, you have to have it first. Since we really never had much sleep during those six long. strenuous years, we didn't lose anything. How did I ever get in a complicated situation like that? Now tears swell up into our eyes. It came so suddenly We weren't quite prepared for it. Now that the time of parting with friends must come, we leave a chain of friendship behind us that will carry on unbroken. And with that chain, we dedicate our old, but always remembered, Alma Mater. The 1044 Talbot 1.1
