Since the seventh grade, our class has been infiltrated by that intelligent, musical, corny-joke girl, Connie Lawthers and al- though her family moved to Wat- erloo, N.Y., she was very much a part of the class of '71. She was active in various clubs at New- port High and extremely inter- ested in singing and music, at- tending All-State and All-New England and cast as Kim Mac- Afee in Bye Bye Birdie. She parti- cipated in the 1970 St. PauI's summer session and plans to attend Goucher College in lVlary- land. Noted for her drawing abili- ty, creativity, allergies, and that Q x WZ'--r ,bv favorite saying Whoopee pick- le , Connie will remain a friend of many and continue to amaze and inspire others. cw l X, reno i h- S140 .

Q s ui v V41 ,, 0 'O I Through the efforts of the 1969-70 Student Council, the International Fellowship Organization, and the Roland Taylor family, Jorge Vincent Fa- jardo traveled from Ecuador to Newport on Febru- ary 14, 1970. Called by the second name in his own country, Vincent soon acquired the nickname Vince and an extra 20 pounds from the food, his favorites being hamburgers and M8tM's. Vince liked sports, experiencing snow and ice-skating for the first time. He also enjoyed fooling around, modern rock music, grocery shopping, ironing his own clothes and cooking pancakes. Deanie Taylor describes him as lazy when it came to work but he had a great sense of humor in getting out of work and in outwitting members of the Taylor family. While in the U,S., Vince saw the Ice Follies and later claimed to be Peggy FIemming's brother when he returned home! He entertained friends with his Latin American style on the drums, piano, organ, and guitar. Wnce wants to return to live in the United States after graduation and become an airplane pilot - however, he has to take pills be- fore a flight for airsickness! Vince became a great part of the class of '71, even though he was here for a short 3 months, and we wish him the best of America in his future.

Teaching in Newport is a fascinating experience . . . The school is small enough so that personal relationships may be established and yet it is large enough so that one can meet stu- dents from a huge range of intellectual, social, and economic backgrounds . . . The six years that I have been here have been the most meaningful, rewarding years of my life and I would not want to be anywhere else . . . I have found seniors to be a most interesting and challeng- ing group of people QWTJ . . . learning is experience . . . at best we can help the student to learn how to learn . . . an important element of education is exposure . . . introduce ideas, philosophies, trends in culture, and forms of expression to the individual student QCMJ . . . Ce n'est pas assez d'avoir l'esprit bon, mais le principal est de l'appIiquer bien 1DesCartesJ QMWT . . . Teaching is a people orientated profession CCTJ . . . A school's attitude toward its responsibilities to its young people can follow two paths: C11 one of rigid tradition - molding its young people to fit traditional curricula patterns or C25 one of flexible innovation which seeks out varied curricula patterns to benefit its young people as persons . . . it is because I believe that Newport High School is presently alert to more flexibility that I find teaching here exciting, challenging, and rewarding . . . challenging . . . exciting . . . young people are the greatest . . . frustrating flack of time and spacej . . . student oriented . . . flexible . . . aware QANONJ . . . walking through the halls in Newport High School is not unlike trying to drive into Boston during rush hour . . . Teaching: so much, by so many, for so few QRBGJ . . . Teaching is an experience which boggles the mind . . . any teacher who attempts to do his job thoroughly will find himself faced with six hours of paperwork per day added to his six classroom hours . . . It certainly is no place for the perfectionist . . . Newport teachers carry the average class and duty assignment, meaning that they are totally unable to cope intelligently with the situation QPSJ . . . teaching is rewarding, discouraging, challenging, drudgery . . . where the action is . . . a waste of time . . . enjoyable . . . a real hassle CJBQ . . .
