NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL should not be done. If you are to do your part in winning the war, you must not fail to do your studying. The training that you receive while in school will be beneficial when serv- ing in the Army, Navy, or Coast Guard. The men who fiy in the For- tresses and Liberators must be train- ed specialists. The Army and Navy will teach you to do these jobs. But the men who know the basic things that are taught in the American school are the ones who are almost always chosen for the positions. Now, students, is the time to acquire this knowledge. Don't let the opportun- ity slip through your fingers. Attend school regularly and get what you can out of it. In this way you are prepar- ing to do your part, as are the men at the front lines. Don't let these men down. Howard Shapiro. T0 THE SENIORS At last you've reached your goal -you've graduated! When you were just a greenie, you thought you couldn't wait for the day. Now that it's here, you've got a lump in your throat, and you start thinking about all the swell times you've had in high school. You wish you had studied harder, and cooperated a little more with your teachers. But, it's too late for regrets, and so your memory be- comes filled with only the pleasant days. Even your old enemies hold a special place in your heart. As you march up in your caps and gowns to receive your diplomas, you feel pretty grown-up, but just as scared, too. There's an empty feeling in your heart. You're sad because you are leaving all the familiar faces in the crowd, you're happy because you're going to do new things and make new friends. Excitement fills you, but it's not going to be any picnic, and you know it. First, you're scared. You ask yourself, What can I do? Can I stand the competition? Can I do it? More than once you'll wish you were back in high school again. Then, you're raring to go. A fiood of con- fidence sweeps over you, and you're ready to fight and battle what life has to offer. You feel as though you can lick the world. These sensations come and go, and finally one or the other settles for good. This determines your success or failure. Don't be the failure. You can do ANYTHING if you want to badly enough. Don't be afraid of competi- tion. They're as green as you are and just as scared. Dig right in and give it all you've got, and I guarantee you'1l come through with fiying colors! You get out of life what you put into it. It's up to you! P. M. Whittaker, '44. I 8 l
