Newport News High School Newport News. Virginia Office of the Anchor June, 194S Dear Uncle Saw, Perhaps yon don ' t know just what your nieces and nephews here in a typical high school are doing to prepare themselves for life after they graduate. Even though we adopt all the latest fads, and use all the latest slang, we still give serious thoughts to our future in relation to our country. By the pictures and information you ' ll find inside , we hope to show you that through work and play, and with the help of our teachers and fellow students, we develop character and in- itiative, which in turn builds better citizens for you and for the U. S. A. When we finally settled down to give you the inside infor- mation on our numerous activities, the question arose of just exactly what you would want to know about us. So, to be on the safe side, we have pasted pictures of our civic and social life, and snapshots of all your many nieces and nephews who are re- ceiving an education here. To save you the trouble of guessing what comes next, a table of contents follows!

Jlei f U SAoiu T au, COMING TO MIND when our city is mentioned is the Shipyard. When it was first started in 1 886 it covered the 425-foot area fronting on Washington Avenue, to the riv- er. Now it extends over nearly a mile and a half of waterfront and covers about 239 acres. Here is an overall view showing, besides the shipyard a small portion of the shoreline of our beautiful Jcmes river. IT VERY RARELY freezes here, but when it does this is our skating rink — not very large but large enough for us to slide around on. If you ' ll look closely you ' ll see the James River Bridge in the background. 4
