EDITORIALS This message deals with a very important influence in our lives-an influence which, to cmany of us, is the focal point 'of our activities. This influence to which I am referring is Newport High School, and my message is one regarding loyalty to this institution. What is school loyalty, anyway 'Z Is it an individual thing, or does it involve the student body as a whole? Is it merely a matter of supporting the basketball team, or does it go further? In my opinion, school loyalty is basic: it should include willingness to obey rules, ability to accept criticism for what it is worth, and realization -of the privileges available to us. Never before has Newport High School offered such a diversified pro- gram of study to its studentsg an attitude of appreciation, then, should be another form of school loyalty. Loyalty to our school is really preparation for loyalty to our country. In order to understand our responsibilities as Americans, it is necessary to recognize the intrinsic meaning of loyalty-obeying the rules by which we are governed, taking a positive stand for what we believe in, and dem- onstrating an altruistic or social attitude in everyday living. These various qualities add up to loyalty, the fundamental requirement for a good citizen. Mary Louise Carter, '56 You are a graduate of Newport High School, Class of '54. You en- listed in the service right after graduati.on and this is your first visit home. You decide to visit your high school and the high school principal. You are greeted in the office by Mr. Willette who asks you if you would like a guided tour of the new addition to the building. You answer quickly, of course. Mr. Willette shows you all the rooms and explains their usage. First, he shows you the rooms used for the Hot Lunch Program. Nearly 130 students enjoy a hot lunch in the school cafeteria each day. The next door on the right leads into the Agriculture Shop and classroom. These rooms, Mr. Willette explains, make it possible to accommodate more students with better facilities in this department. Three new classrooms are next in line. You learn that these rooms accommodate the eighth grade and part of the seventh. After your tour is completed, and as you leave the building, you feel proud-proud that you are a graduate of Newport High School, and proud that you are now a citizen of the community that is progressing so rapidly in its Educational System. Jane Boyle, '57
