School Begins With Old “But, Mr. Keesee, I thought we had graduated from Ding Dong School!” Newport News High School students returned to school to find new methods added to the established routine. Although the bell and clock systems failed to operate during the first few weeks, students were able to turn their attention to the new public address unit and the corridor permission slips. However, traditions also became a part of the students’ lives — traditions such as the annual Mouse Assembly and the Homecoming Celebration. All too soon, the facul- ty and pupils settled down to their individual rou- tines, including work, practice, and fun. Homeroom students listen as Mr. Etheridge makes the daily announcements over the new public address system. “And now for the next question, Senator Shii ' kson,” adds May Meg. Upperclassmen, portraying political figures, also parti- cipated in the Mouse Assembly. Karen Yevak and Mary Kay Massey pause a moment before playing their piano duet in the annual Mouse Assembly. 8

Parade and Crowning of Queen Riding high in the parade were three of the school’s well-known coaches, Mr. Duff, Mr. Nuttycombe, and Mr. Palmer. Traveling down Washington Avenue was the French Club float, one of the many entered by the various school organi- zations. Under the guidance of a special homecoming com- mittee, new activities became a part of the third an- nual homecoming. On the night before the Homecom- ing Queen was crowned, NNHS students sponsored a parade, one of the highlights of Homecoming week- end. Club-sponsored floats, the Senior Band, and automobiles carrying school officers and faculty traveled down Washington Avenue before disband- ing at Saunders Stadium. Following the parade, the varsity cheerleaders led a rousing pep rally in the football stadium. Mounting school spirit and excitement were to be climaxed by the crowning of the 1964 Homecoming queen. Plans for the homecoming activities fell upon the shoulders of these committeemen. L. to R. Bobby Kenney, Ann Rowe, Wayne Owens, Bill Turner, Connie Snapp, and Wayne Vick. Missing is Linda Garth. 10
