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.

Cafeteria The Public Address system reports to homerooms each morning such typical announcements as, “The committee meeting will be held this afternoon in tire cafeteria ... the junior class will report to the cafeteria after homeroom for testing . . .” As the focal point of all school life, the cafeteria serves many purposes. It is the center of both aca- demic and social activities. School dances, the Senior Prom, committee meetings, and gab sessions take place here, as well as testing programs, P.T.A. meetings, teachers’ meetings, Science Fairs, teas, socials, and banquets. And, of course, where else would we eat our lunch? Yet, after all the busy moments of a regular school day, comes a brief inter- lude between dark and dawn, when the cafeteria is void of activity. A quiescent mood prevails— the silence eloquently expresses the calm before a storm.
