Choose ' Happy ' for Love, Understanding Seniors Upper center: Always active in cheering the Devils to victory, Mrs. Hapstak exhibits her cheerleading torm at the pep rally before the Petersburg Game. Upper left: Here is your library pass,” remarks study hall teacher, Mrs. Hapstak, to Almetrius McCraw. Keeping up with her many study hall students has been one of her standard duties. Lower left: We’re going to have the number 1 float,” boasts Mrs. Hapstak as she drives the lift truck during a float decoration session. Her prediction came true when the Junior Class won the homecoming competition. Lower right: John P. Tiller, emcee, and Mrs. Lea Hapstak, pause a minute before the curtain rises on the Junior Miss- ter Pageant. Mrs. Hapstak, class sponsor, organized and directed the pageant. She’s just an ordinary teacher — just like any other teacher at Hopewell High. Look in at the study hall any time. You’ll see her writing passes, talking to students and yelling tor the chattering group of girls to hush. Or she may be trying to help a student with a puzzling English question. She’s just ' a down-to- earth, ordinary teacher. Why was she special? The warmth bubbled from within her. She couldn’t help but let her personality touch all those around her. Among her many activities and responsibilities, the marriage of her daughter, and taking care of her family, she sponsored the Junior Class. She was one of those unbelievable sponsors — one who was always there, and one who helped the class to organize. She was constantly there to direct — at the Powder Puff Football Game, the Junior Miss-ter Pageant, decorating the Junior float (which won first place) or chaperoning the Junior Senior. But maybe the most important thing, the thing that made her more special to the Senior Class, was the compassion and understanding she showed all her students. No matter who you were, she was always ready to listen to your problems, no matter how small they might be. And what was more important than listening, she understood. She showed how the word love can be put to use. The Seniors would like in some small way to return this love. We dedicate the 1973 Kaleidoscope to Mrs. Lea Hapstak. Dedication
