Fore u n r il The Blunita Staff of the 1951 class endeavors to present to you on the following pages of this book a resume of the 1950-51 years' activities of the Newport Joint Schools. There have been many metamorphic trends in the High School since its inception. Sixty-four years ago the first group of seniors, seven in number graduated from the Newport High School. Only one course and few activities were offered. Since that time the school has been serving more and more students with an ever increasing number of courses and activities. In 1927, twenty-four years ago, Oliver Township and Newport Borough merged as one school district, namely the Newport Union School District; the present high school building was completed in the 1927-28 school year. Under the supervising principalship H. L. Price, forty seniors graduated as members of the '28 class. Mr. H. K. Eby, whom we present to you on this page succeeded H. L. Price as supervising principal in the fall of 1929 and has served Newport well in that capacity for the last 21 years. During his administration many notable changes have been made in the educational system. In addition to the acquisition of a large Athletic Field, the establishment of a vocational arts department in the curriculum and many other changes, an important step forward was realized in the combined efforts of the school districts of Buffalo, Howe, Juniata, and Miller Townships to join with the Newport Union District thus forming the Newport Joint Schools. Under this jointure many township schools were closed leaving only five open. These one-room school houses are known as Center, Markelsville, Oak Hall Wila in Juniata Township, and Pine Grove in Miller Township. The total enrollment of the Newport Joint School District for the present term is 1026. We, the members of the graduating class, are proud that the class of '51 will be always known as the first class of Newport Joint. We aim to impress upon the world of tomorrow the many influences we received during our past few years in the halls of this institution on whose exterior walls are imprinted these words: Enter To Learn--Go Forth To Serve.
