ATHLETIC COMMITTEE An innovation has come to Hampton in the way of an Athletic Committee. The forming of this committee brought up the need of a Student Man- ager. Many ideas were discussed on the form of election of a Student Manager. The plan agreed upon was that the seniors should nominate not more than three boys from each home room. Those nominated were then given the chance to express their qualities for the job of Student Manager in one of our assemblies. Following this assembly, ballots were sent to all home rooms from the seventh grade through the twelfth. Totals of this election, tallied by the Student Council, showed Perry Hardt to take the lead by a large margin. In one of the meetings between the Athletic Committee and the Board, Mr. March reported on the minutes of all previous meetings held by the Athletic Committee. The Board members, hearing this report, seemed very well satisfied with what the Committee has accomplished. Following the sum- mary by Mr. March, a very interesting talk was made by Perry Hardt describ- ing the athletic program desired by the students of Hampton. The student body spoke of their hope to enter into a full program for both boys and girls. Mrs. Sims's talk upon the setting up of a program for girls' activities, was appreciated very much by the Board. The present and future possibilities of an athletic program was discussed by Mr. Taylor. The board agreed we should carry out a full athletic program as soon as possible. Much discussion followed concerning the planning of the new athletic playing field. It was decided at the meeting that we should first have the field put in condition as soon as possible, and the Board voted to give the Athletic Committee three hundred-fifty dollars from the board treasury to enable the committee to carry on the basketball and to organize a baseball team. All finances are now directly handled by the Athletic Committee. The Athletic Committee has organized a full athletic program and have completed plans for the new athletic field. They have acquired buses for players and spectators to and from the games. The fulfillment of all these plans sounds like a full and rigorous athletic program for Hampton. CHEERLEADERS Yea-aa-a, Team! Fight! Fight! Fight! This is one of our commonest cheers! When led by our pretty girls, it gives the team the feeling that we want them to go in and fight on to victory. Early in the fall of the school year a notice was posted that tryouts for cheerleaders would soon take place. Anxious to be chosen, a great many vigorous girls and boys attended the tryouts. As usual, Many are called but few are chosen! The lucky ones were: Marcy Krause, Kathleen King, Mary Hardt, Susan Hauser, Bill Laser, Charles Byer, and the two former cheerlead- ers who are Lois Ann Carr and Peggy Huston. Ever since that happy day they have stayed after hard days of classes to practice adding many new and interesting innovations and motions to our old cheers. All the leaders have shown a great improvement since the tryouts. I know none regret the fact that they were chosen, because many good times have been had to and from the games on the team bus and celebrating with the team after hard, vigorous playing. Trying something new this year, the group decided that we should have underclassmen cheerleaders, who will be well trained to make a good showing for their Alma Mater--Hampton, next year. -.23..
