All are architects of fate Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. The construction of a house must follow the blueprints created by the architects. Therefore, the quality of the architects is re- flected in the quality of the house. Teachers are the architects of our structure of learning. For their students, they open up a world of color and form. In the classroom, teachers mold their students’ minds in the same way that fine architects create a well- planned blueprint. The first requirement of the blueprint is the foundation. The faculty of Newport News High School try pri- marily to give the students a firm foundation of knowledge which will support them for the remainder of their lives. After the architects have drawn the foundation in their blue- prints, they begin including little details which will make this structure differ from other structures they have created. So it is with the teachers. Having fortified the students -with the basic essentials of knowledge, they devote their efforts to fully develop- ing the individual tale nts of each student. The preparation which these students receive will determine the kind of world in which we will someday live. Thus, the faculty of N.N.H.S. are in reality architects of fate.
