Ebb And Flow Of Ideas Is Stimulating A girl and a boy just talking about “things”, thirteen hundred students screaming themselves hoarse at the Hampton game, a girl studying intensely in a deserted classroom for a test next period, a basketball player fighting for the ball— each and all of these scenes serve as reflections of the variety and divergence of interests that make up school life at Newport News High School. It is the ebb and flow of ideas between faculty and students, the exciting and stimulating quest that is learning that serves as the foundation for school life. In the classroom, on the playing field, or after school— wherever there are students from N.N.H.S., the intensity of their enthu- siasm, the vibrancy of their interests and the quality of their talents mirrors the diversity of action that is school life.

Honors Reflect Ability Of Students The phrase “We’re champions” definitely had a familiar ring at N.N.H.S. this year with Newport News students taking honors in all three A’s— athletics, academics and activities. In the field of athletics, the Typhoon indoor track team again won the state title, the seventh champion- ship in nine years. Academically, on the new television program, Hi-Q, a team from Newport News scored three consecutive wins and retired as an undefeated champion. Other academic accomplishments included the awarding of National Merit Letters of Commendation to two students, as well as the attaining of Nelms Honor Scroll by several students. Concerning activities, seven students from N.N.H.S. were named to the Virginia All-State Chorus. In athletics, in academics, and in activities, the accom- plishments of students at Newport News High School serve as reflections of the hard work and ability that has made N.N.H.S. a champion.
