Here is the story of a school, of a student, of a liaison that yields creation. Before creation can occur, several elements must be present. There must be a quantity of material; there must be hands to seek the form ; there must be imagination to know the form ftvhen it is found. The form that we speak of here is the ultimate product of our environment — the student and the student-to-be. In the process of creation the student meets many elements that contribute to his final form, or in more symbolic terms, the work of the sculptor. We speak of the sculptor, then, as the cumulative force that brings the final form into being and produces the work of art that can be and is the student. k- || Institution is a cold word. It brings forth images of long cor- ridors filled with solemn faced scholars, well-worn books, and impersonal greetings; but it is here, in this institution, Newport News High School, that institution becomes a word of exciting change, growth, and creation. It is here that the sculptor begins his work. It is here that the student becomes the individual, takes shape, learns what it means to stand alone and welcome the promise of his tomorrow. We invite you, then, to view a record of creation, encompassing more than a mere contact between two elements — a mound of clay and a sculplor’sjhands. In this seemingly single contact, a world of smaller, yet vital elements is revealed and we see in the final form a reflection of all that has touched the work and begotten the dream. • . V 3
