Fred Capps is listed as a New Hanover High School employee in the school’s yearbook — The Hanoverian — as far back as the 1940s as an English teacher.
The 1963 Hanoverian listed Capps as the “Dean of Boys,” a job the 1967 edition described his job somewhat un-glamorously as handling “students’ problems in general.”
A 1964 edition describes a group of students petitioning Capps to let them attend a Wilmington campaign stop in October by Republican vice-presidential candidate William Miller. It’s unclear if Capps allowed the visit.
By 1969, Capps was listed as assistant principal, and his duties included discipline and attendance for the men among NHHS’s 2,300 students.
Multitasking appears to have come naturally to him: yearbooks show he held degrees from the University of Richmond, Duke University, Ohio Wesleyan University and Northwestern University.
His last appearance in a Hanoverian is in 1971, still as assistant principal.
