Napa High School - Napanee Yearbook (Napa, CA)

Page 12 text:

We, the members of the staff, are proud to present Tx-na Lancs, the 1952 yearbook of Napa High School. The theme chosen for this term's yearbook is that of television, one of the newest and most modern methods of entertainment we have today. The story of the history of television is a typical story of America itself and the people behind it-pioneers of the moderni- zation of our country. This theme is carried throughout the entire book in both the art work and the yriting. The opening division page in our LANCE pictures what is known to television viewers as a test pattern. The purpose of a test pattem is to focus diferent proportions on the screen so as to obtain a clear and correct picture. This pattem might be compared to school report cards. They are given with the same idea in mind-that of giving the student and his parents a clear view of what that student is doing in school so as to be able to correct him, therefore making a better pupil out of him, or in the case of a television screen-a better picture. Depicted on the following division page, that preceding the clubs and activities section, is an example of the most popular type of children's program-the puppet show. Kukla, Fran, and Ollie, Howdy-Doody, and Time for Beany are only a few of the many such programs shown. These shows are designed to present new and interesting ideas to the younger generation in the same way that the clubs and activities at Napa High are open to students with a variety of interests and ideas. A program called School Days is pictured on the division page introducing the student pictures section. The scene for this show is a typical classroom such as you would find anywhere throughout our school building. Students on the program are invited to appear because they have sent in especially good questions to be asked on the show. The questions vary and are on any one of the many subjects we study in class each day, such as history, mathematics, science, and the like. Boxing, one of the most popular sports on television, is represented on the division page preceding the sports section. The boxing matches shown on TV are between famous lightweights and heavyweights of today. Other sports on television, the same as we might find on our athletic program at school, are football, basketball, tumbling, and baseball. Games between such large schools as Cal, Stanford, and U.C.L.A. are often shown on TV and now and then a big game back East is also shown. The final division page in the LANCE, preceding the snap section, is that of a program called Candid Camera. On this television show films are shown where people were photo- graphed having no knowledge that they were being televised. In the spring and early part of the summer students often bring cameras to school and do the same thing as on this show. These prints often end up in the section of the yearbook following the division page just mentioned. These are only a few of the many interesting and entertaining programs you will find on television. Who can predict what TV may mean in later years? One thing is known already- with it America stays abreast of the times and leads the way in the held of entertainment and knowledge by audiovisual means. p
