"Here's To The Academy Of Hampton"
Words: Marian Berry, '18
Tune: "Our Director"
It’s the roar and rattle of study’s battleThat we enter into, you see;
And to keep the standard up to the mark
It's up to you and to me. So!
Now get busy, we’ll make them dizzy,
For they never dreamed of this day;
We’re on our way with a Hip, Hooray!
For we’re going to good Old H. A.
(Chorus)
So, here’s to the Academy of Hampton
We love so true;
Here’s to our schoolmates, and our teachers too;
Here's to all alumni, where’er they be
As we sing this song for our Academy.
So, here’s to the Academy of Hampton
We love so true;
Here’s to our banner of the White and Blue;
Here’s to all alumni, where’er they be,
As we sing this song for our Academy.
"Old School Song"
Words: By an Academy Student
Music: "Fair as the Morning"
To Winnacunnet came goodmen bold,
Far from their home land, far o’er the sea,
Seeking for homes more free.
(Chorus)
More and more the story will be told,
While we sing the song that’s never old,
Then let our voices join in the glee
In our Academy.
Then, then it was Our State was begun,
No towns were known, but all were in one,
Seeking for guidance, truth to be free,
In noble charity.
(Chorus)
School days were then not more than a few,
All found their work the hardest to do,
But all their labors ever will be
Blest to posterity.
(Chorus)
Schools grew and flourish’d, none more renown’d
Than this old school found here in this town,
Fair is her hist’ry, fair is her fame,
Long live her famous name!
(Chorus)
Sing of her students, fame has enroll'd,
Choate, Tuck and Morrill, stories of old,
Clark, Grimes and Joy, and what they have done,
Leave not a single one.
(Chorus)
"Boom, Boom, De-Ay"
Boom, Boom, de-ay,Boom, Boom, de-ay,
Hampton High School
Is right here today.
"Stand Up, Boys!"

"The Blue And White"
Words: Robert Elliot, '20
Tune: "We'll Pay Our Debt to Lafayette"
Say, we will try to let you learn,That we all with courage burn,
When we stand up to help out our old H. A.
And we fight with all our might,
For a school that’s in the right;
And that’s why we are here to cheer today.
(Chorus)
Now, you see, we love our school,
And we all make it a rule,
To keep her upon the winning side, you bet!
Our girls are for her yet,
And our boys are full of pep
And the Blue and White we’ll honor more each day.
""Esprit de Corps"
Words: Noel H. Winter, '22
Tune: "The Orange and the Black"
When we first did come to HamptonTo the colors, "White and Blue,"
There we found a wondrous spirit
Which they did in us embue.
It won for us many a victory,
It cheered us in defeat;
Through a staunch determination
Made impossible retreat.
It won for us many a victory,
It cheered us in defeat;
'Twas that firm determination
Made impossible retreat.
So when we’re from those fair scenes gone,
And the seasons by us roll,
We will strive with increased courage
To reach our goal.
All the drawbacks shall not hinder,
We’re safely carried through
By that same determination,
We had at the "White and Blue."
All the drawbacks shall not hinder,
We’re safely carried through
By that same determination,
We had at the "White and Blue."

And 'twas this old Institution
That sent us on to fame.

Did drag so slowly past;
But the last two years of study
Flew fast, so very fast.

The source of our future so near.

In fair or stormy weather.

How fondly we will cherishMemories of school days;

Words:, Noel H. Winter, '22
Tune: Commencement Song
Now schoolmates, stand together, come give a song of praise;We’ve gathered here for study, to learn what life portrays;
So that autumnal weather again for us shall tell
The time of glad reunion, at scenes we love so well.
So let your hearts be full of joy. smooth shall the future be;
We’re all the same under the name "Hampton Academy."
And as each year rolls past us, we toil upon our ways.
'Till graduation draws nearer, to many the day of days;
Then May the month of flowers is on us and is past;
Yet memory will sweeten departure at the last.
So let your hearts be full of joy. smooth shall the future be;
We’re all the same under the name "Hampton Academy.
