Itiau+id Oub Gitif . . . AS YOU CAN SEE by the first two pictures, the big word in Newport News is ships. This is a picture of our famous James River Bridge — a draw bridge of four and nine-tenths miles connecting our peninsula with the Smithfield side of the river. For twenty years it has stood as one of our more fa- mliar landmarks. THE MARINERS ' MUSEUM is a museum of mariners ' equip- ment from ships to silverware. Established by Archer M. Hunt- ington in 1 930, it now stands as a loadstone for tourists who flock to our peninsula. WHEN THE Newport News men came back from World War I they were reminded of their Paris ventures by march- ing through our own Arch of T riumph. VICTORY 1 918 5

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

flam Game ' With fyi, 7a School This, Uncle Sam, is our high school. Although the main building was completed in 1924, the wings, housing the boys ' gym on the south and the library in the north, were built in 1939 Both the main portion and the wings are constructed of cream-colored brick, with the facade in typi- cal Corinthian style. Then, too, because our our city has no other civic auditorium, the school double-duties as both an institution of higher learning and a gathering place for the citizens of our fair community. Here you see the front of the school as it appears on the night of a high school play, a Community Concert, lecture or any of the many other night meetings. The lighted windows, Uncle Sam, may quite possibly denote the class-rooms in which night-school classes are being conducted, as on two or three evening a week, adults are given the opportu- nity to take refresher courses, or work for degrees, in any number of subjects! 6
