English Department Proficiency in self-expression is one of the major goals of our English Department. Both writing and speaking correctly are emphasized as strong contributions to complete high school ed- ucation. In addition to last year’s department, Mrs. Shelton, Mrs. Hoyle and Mrs. Lovelace are welcomed back. With the combined efforts of the English department, the students obtain a broad- ened outlook concerning literature, speech, and writing as a part of their daily lives.

Left to right: Mr. Maidment, Mr. Keesee, and Miss Gildersleeve Newport News High School could not possibly function efficiently without the combined efforts of this staff. As dean of girls, Miss Gildersleeve has the responsibility of coping with the individual problems of the feminine half of the student body. Without the advice of Miss Gildersleeve, many girls who have graduated from NNHS could not p ossibly have done so. Mr. Keesee, assistant prin- cipal and dean of boys, is also a vital member of the administration. His marvelous sense of humor plus his congenial personality are a great asset to the boys in any guidance difficulties which they might encounter. Mr. Maidment, al- ways ready with a kind word or funny joke, is the one member of the administration who com- bines the efforts of Mr. Keesee and Miss Gilder- sleeve. Mr. Maidment is the final check on any important decision made by these two. It is clearly evident that all decisions made by their combined efforts have been the right ones. 9
