NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL l 6 l 3QQQ fffffff' ' QAXAAAXSAAXVWA ' VWAAAAXV' 'f X Q is c '9 EDITORIAL Our school seems to have come into the hearts and minds of the towns- people and we appreciate all that is being done. One thing which we hope they have not overlooked is the need of manual training. At present anything of this type has been done only in connection with the agricultural course, and has only been available to students enrolled in that particular course. lt had been entirely eliminated until the recent reintroduc- tio11 of agriculture as a course. Since those classes do most of their work in the building provided for it, the workshop', in the basement of the high school is not utilized to the fullest extent. This room could be used as a manual training classroom and give students the chance to take the subject without enrolling as an uaggief, A class of manual arts, of course, necessarily needs material on which to work. Up to their capacity, they would be able to repair furniture and other wood-working projects brought in from the homes. Many jobs around the school could be used as class problems. The town pays out a comparatively large sum of money each year for the repair and upkeep of school property, much ot which could be done by a manual training class, if one were started. Cupboards, lockers, bookcases and many other things, made by the class, would greatly decrease the town's appropriation for that type of expense. It seems that a manual training class would be a valuable addition to our school. It would cut the sehool,s expenditures, make many helpful contrivances available for school use and would provide a new and instructive class for the students of Newport High School.

THE LIVE XVIRE tri A EDITORIAL lVe, the class of 1947, have reached the last days of our high school career. lVe've had many good times in good old Newport High. All the fun, edu- cation, and friendships weive made can never be taken away from us. VVe can all remember the day when we were initiated into high school in the proper manner. Right then, we would have given anything to be dignified Seniors and not usillyn Freshmen. But then, one always has to start at the hot- tom and work up. ' The years soared by until, at last, we have reached our goal-we are Seniors! There is p1'ide and happiness in the word, yet it touches us with a hit of sadness. With only memories left, We go out into the worldito face life with the line and efficient background that we received at Newport High. Thus, underclassmates, we bid you farewell with the hope that you will make many friendships and have as many good times as we have had during the past four years. loyee Sheridan -it -tif rigiibkau naihkarr nQ,.f'4't9'gf'fC5F w.9n
