Faculty and Classroom The sculptor’s studio is the place of creation. Here lie the tools that will deliver the form from dream stuff to realization. It is important that the studio become part of the sculptor’s spirit and message. He must feel that here all can come about, naturally, easily without strain, without friction. The variety of tools that lie scattered about reflect the enormous choice of form. They will dig deep into the clay, will seek out the strength of the mes- sage and deliver the form. In the classroom a similar creation occurs — a mind is strengthened, a form is found, and the teach- ers, the tools of education, make their contribution to the ultimate work.

iHHMPl Our Principal, His Assistants Mr. J. William Etheridge A true concern for individual student welfare is a rarity among administrators and it is this rarity that makes our principal the very special man that he is. The warmth, humor, insight, and charm that he so frequently displays have removed the institu- tion-like chill that usually accompanies a position such as his. His sincere enthusiasm for any school activity and enormous interest in any student undertaking has given rise to a spirit that echoes the goals of Newport News High School: the creation of the indi- vidual thinking student, the creation of the conscientious citizen of tomorrow. 8
