The English classes are reading some really great plays; They are even putting on skits in their classrooms. These are some wild tangible objects the trig classes use. There seems to be about fifty different sizes and colors. Oops, she got sulfur all over her hands in chemistry class. The teacher warned everybody to be careful with the chemicals.

They ' ve made some handsome articles in there this year. Oh. it fell ! That beautiful cake I made just fell ! Why did those girls have to slam that door! Groovy things are happening in our classes, man. Oh, well! On to another phase — the history classes. trips all over the place. Looking into the metal and wood shop classes. English Interpretations Expressed Through Drama, Music I think . . . Well, I feel . . . In my opinion . . . It seems to me . . . Such were the sounds of learning from which stems the proficiency of self- expression in the individual. By participation in class discussion, the members of the English department sought to awaken the creativity of original thought in their pupils, the essence of conversation. Encouraged by the Now Education theory, to motivate involvement of student, English teachers stressed the importance of speaking acceptable English. It is virtually imperative that the student of today be able to express himself with fluidity, if he is to communicate with his fellow man , said Mrs. Ressie Collins to her junior classes. This was the feeling of all teachers. Stressing literature as well as the grammatical aspects of English, the student was given the oppor- tunity to grow in interpretation and understanding. From Julius Caesar to Hamlet to Anne Sullivan in The Miracle Worker, the teacher worked with each person to combine body and mind to discover a play ' s protagonist. Through long study the pupils acquired a broad view of our literary, historical, and linguistic heritages and learned that by relating the past to the present that they were equipping themselves to deal with the current problems. With the pain of confusion and sometimes frustration, the realization of a gram- matical world was brought within the students ' scope of comprehension. 18 Jimmy Pike, Frederick Eaves, Randy Polston and Charles Whitmer act out a scene from Orson Wells ' Invasion from Mars for their freshman English class. Studying Hamlet is a regular assignment of any twelfth grade English class. In Mrs Wright ' s class, Kent Sheridan reads from Act I of the play, in which Hamlet talks with the Ghost and is then seized with madness because of the sad news he learns. Mike Morrisett dramatizes Julius Caesar as his class reads the classic play. 19 Lee Penny portrays an anarchist in his U S History class ' depiction of the Haymarket riot. Tommy Student history teacher — Ward, as a policeman, rushes in to disperse the mob. keep score on a miniature As Mr. Wheary moves about his class giving help on a class assignment, he stops to answer a question from Francis Bennett on city government. 20 Miss Janice Savage asks Joey Pearson a question as James Cox and Woody Sanders football field. History Football, Plays Dramatize History Class Study Valerie Scott utilizes her class time wisely as she works to complete an important government assignment. While completing city plans, term papers, book reviews, models, and current events, history stu- dents somehow managed to concentrate on the places, dates, and people who are important to United States history, world history, government, world geography, and economics. Eighth grade history students studied the history of Newport News this year instead of the traditional United States history that had been taught at the school previously. They learned of the city ' s begin- ning, what it is doing now, and what the future has in store for posterity ' s children. Many of the U S. history classes, consisting mainly of juniors, thought of and edited their own political cartoons. Some played football quizz using miniature football fields, while others dramatized historical occurrences of different eras with skits and pantomimes for their classmates. The geography classes spent most of their time drawing maps and constructing models to better their knowledge of various areas of the world It seemed to be a year of field trips for all of the history classes, with destinations near and far — to Williamsburg, to Luray Caverns, to Richmond, and to Washington, D C. As the students soon discovered, one picture (on a field trip) is worth a thousand words (in the text book) . 21 Ronald Mays, an eighth grade math student, projects a silent eagerness to learn as he contemplates the solving of a geometry problem in his class assignment. While reviewing analytic geometry in his trigonometry class, Dwight Stall finds tangible aids quite helpful in solving problems. Mark Stall explains to the class a locus problem from a previous geometry test. 22 Who can express the feeling that one has when a paper is returned with a grade of F? It ' s utterly indescribable! Math Doing Your Own Thing in Math Classes Captures Creative Minds From inductive thought, to simultaneous equa- tions, to logarithyms and graphs, the student en- countered and had to grasp the language of mathe- matics. Not often easy, math required one to de- velop the power of concentration in class so that he could complete his homework assignments. Tired expressions, furrowed brows and perspira- tion were visual evidence in Coach Donald White ' s second year algebra class that they struggled to comprehend his sometimes verbose explanations and thought-provoking tests. Miss Jane Hunsucker was well known to her trig class for her none-too- easy tests and the slogans, We just love math, and Math goes on and on and on . . Mrs. Margaret Minnic k and Mrs. Betty Scott gave their classes the task of geometrical projects, an enjoyable break from the regular classwork for all students. Spheres, mobiles, and recitations on the mobius strip were all done as examples of the geo- metrical world in which we live. General Math, first year and modified algebra, and consumer math were offered this year. All the math teachers stressed the importance of setting up an equation correctly over solving it correctly. It was hoped that a firm foundation in the field of mathematics would benefit the student, regardless of the career he chose. Typical of many students and a few moments in math class, Ronnie Mejia pauses to think over an abstruse equation. 23 Bernard Nichols examines a frog before receiving directions on how to dissect it. Joey Dutton closely observes specimans thr ough a microscope as Donnie Caldwell awaits his turn. Alton Askew performs his daily task of housekeeping for his pet lizard: brushing aside small debris in his terrarium. 24 David Smith operates an oscilloscope as Belinda Fortner a unique machine made by RCA, is used to record electrical Having a partner in laboratory experiments can make a great deal of difference in how much work can be completed and recorded within an hour. Here, chemistry students Linda Bryant and Morris Daniels together perform a titration. Science Stench, Stains, Dreams Reward Science Enthusiasts touches its transmitter with her fingers. The oscilloscope, impulses in living things. Dreams of frogs, stained hands, stench in the air, and burnt fingers — these are the rewards of taking a science course — along with the knowledge gained. Many first year biology students were amazed at how easy it was to dissect frogs, worms, crayfish, and grasshoppers. In order to let the more squeam- ish students get accustomed to the feel” of a worm, Mrs. Nettles did exactly that by letting students spend the class period simply holding the worms the day before dissection was to occur. There was quite a different scene, however, in the chemistry classes. Under the strict instruction of Mrs. Baker, the students performed experiments ranging from those as simple as making salt to those as difficult as handling explosive chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid or nitric acid In the introductory classes, freshmen learned to use a microscope and actually to see living cells. The first year science classes were initiated into all branches of science to give them a basis for the courses they must take to meet the required number of science credits needed to graduate. But science is more than required”; it ' s fun. 25 Foreign Languages Language Students Observe Holidays in Foreign Tradition If a visitor had walked into any of the foreign language classes, he could have heard: Quam es? . . . Como esta usted? ... or Comment allez-vous ? . . . Familiar? They all are greetings in Latin. Spanish, and French, respectively, which say, How are you? Mrs. Harper ' s and Miss Williams ' French classes have become famous for their skits and dialogue scenes. Whenever you see a student walking down the hall in a beret and with a table cloth in hand, just consider it skit day. This year Miss Williams ' class looked forward to arranging a manger scene with original handmade decorations. The Spanish students had great fun, and the experiences of a lifetime when everyone in the class pitched in to make a beautiful paper- mache pinata. After it was finished, they all lined up to see which blindfolded student would be lucky enough to burst it. One smack apiece, please! When it was burst, there was candy for everyone. Latin, the oldest known language, is truly helpful in all fields of higher education. This year, because of such a small enrollment, Latin students were aule to get much individual help from their teacher, M rs. Mundie. A very interesting project this year was the compiling of scrapbooks of word origins and customs of Latin. Kathy McDaniel strains her brain trying to translate the story of Perseus and the Gorgon; compulsory reading in Latin. 0 muchacho! Danny Ralston, the lucky little pirate who broke the beautiful pinata, was delightfully surprised at the wonderful treasure it spilled forth. 26 In a French class skit a restaurant scene is enacted by Mary Kochli and Sandra Moren, who order a delectable meal from the French menu; Bonnie Turner, their French waitress, places their order before them with a customary smile. First year French students, Russell McCoy and Barbara Murphy, add final touches to a hand crafted nativity scene which was prepared by the entire fifth period class. 27 Your money will be refunded if you find the book, says Mrs. Elaine Ball, the school librarian, as she collects money for a lost book from Warren Jones. Checking in books at the circulation desk to be put on the shelves is Mrs. Hardison, who is new to the library staff. Typical of a class day in the library, Debbie Hobbs leafs through a book as Lionell Cofer continues to browse for one. 28 Library Bookworms Succored by Addition of New Books Robert McDonald. Carlene Hare. George Jenkins, Josie Row- land, and Venessa Stewart search for desired books. Between filing books, checking out books, renew- ing books, writing reminders, arranging magazines, newspapers, records, and filmstrips, and trying to keep the library quiet, librarians and their student assistants rarely found enough time to read a good book. Their schedule was completely filled with their various duties for an efficient library. Being a library assistant is a credit course, for these students must learn a filing system, keep records, and attain the general knowledge needed to keep the library operating efficiently for the 500 students it can accommodate and assist. The staff also undert ook many extra activities. They entered a float for the homecoming parade, and received the third place trophy for their efforts. They also spent many long hours in designing and constructing original plans for two bulletin boards for which they are responsible and are graded. There are approximately 17,475 books in the library at present, (750 of which were added this year). Another new addition was the listening appa- ratus used by students to listen to popular records without disturbing the other students who were using other library resources. Student library assistant. Edward Saunders mans the permit desk as he signs corridor passes of in-coming and out-going students. Carolyn Hudgins searches for her permit so that it may be signed before leaving the library.

Art, Band, Chorus Artists Gain Art Appreciation, Vocalists Travel Simon Richardson, John McCandlish, Nelson Whitaker and Dwight Stall are members of tenor section of Concert Choir. Who are those kids down on the pier? Shouldn ' t they be in school? Look at them on the beach! In support of Earth Day, art students walked to a nearby beach, collecting debris which was transformed into original creations. Through the mediums of clay, pencil, charcoal, watercolors and acrylics, the students created effectively. From the Mariner ' s Museum to the James River Juried Show, the art classes observed and took note of how different techniques were applied for different effects. Many days were spent outside, in the stadium, in the parks, sketching and viewing natural artistic forms. Besides their regular classroom participation, the J.V. band classes performed in a number of parades. The Williamsburg Christmas Parade, Home- coming Parade, Fireman ' s Day Parade were included among them. Directing the J.V. band in his first year here was Mr. John W Stewart From various elementary schools and churches to the New Hampton Roads Coliseum, to Bethel High School, to the Woman ' s Club, the choruses were active. Led by Mrs. Dorothy Carter, the choral work involved preparing for these special events and also for Cabaret and the two concerts. Activity was the key word for the choral groups. 31 Business Data Processing Class Takes Trip to TNCC Processing Center After the Personal Typing students became famil- iar with the sound, the sudden ringing of a time clock was not so startling. In fact, Mrs. Phyllis Volhein ' s 3rd period class often disregarded this sound as ordinary noise. Personal typing proved to be a very worthwhile course, especially for the college bound students and business majors. In its second year of existence. Introduction to Data Processing was enormously popular. Mr. Koshaba versed his students not only in how the machine operates but in how the machine processes. A field trip to Thomas Nelson Community College to view its unique processing center was an inter- esting aspect of the course. Shorthand, a popular course with girls, encour- aged the development of speed and accuracy. Mr. Willey, course instructor, awarded eighty words a minute certificates as well as special one hundred words a minute awards to lucky winners. Very valuable assets in job finding, bookkeeping and accounting appealed to the fellows as well as the girls. Accuracy was a must in this course. Mrs. Collier, VOT sponsor, was able to place successful students in good positions in business places throughout the city and on the Peninsula. In all instances, the purpose of the courses was to introduce the student to business skills and then to help him to develop them. Marie Eason, who received the first certificate for 100 words a minute, speeds through her shorthand dictation. First year typing student Debbie Lloyd glances at her keys momentarily as she types, Now is the time for all good men. 32 To tally a list of numerals several columns long takes great concentration, even just to punch the right keys. Charles Comer, a very efficient bookkeeping student, whisks easily through his class assignments with accuracy. Before punching her first card, Rosa Wilkins listens attentively while Mr. Koshaba reviews the IBM machine ' s various components and gives rules for its operation. In third year architectural drafting class taught by Mr. Clarey, Phillip Brewer works on an old elementary school floor plan using the essential drafting equipment — T square triangle, compass, and dividers. 34 Mr. Clarey assists Kenny Barfield with a small problem in his first year drafting studies. Shop, Vo-Tech On-the-Job Training Courses in Six Fields Draw Many Students Most popular among the male population at NNHS in the vocational field of studies were the shop courses. Throughout the year, the teachers of wood and metal shops, electronics, drafting, and Vo-Tech guided over 300 students in the courses of their vocational interests. In drafting, or mechanical drawing, students were required to do quantitative amounts of mathe- matical figuring. As the year progressed, the stu- dents became more adept in using the slide rules and worked with more precision. Each student was equally fascinated with the beauty of his first sketch, whether it was of a screw or of a motor part. A whole new scope of awareness opened up for each as he discovered the intricate balance with which each mechanical device is constructed. Blueprints were drawn by advanced drafting class. In wood and metal shops, the students were al- lowed to add their personal touches in their con- structions. Some of their bigger projects included tables, what-nots, and bookcases for their homes. In electronics classes the students were first taught the basic fundamentals of electrical appli- ances and other equipment. Special projects for those students were ordered out of catalogs in the form of put-together surprises. They were graded according to their efficiency at wiring and whether or not the finished product operated. Vo-Tech, a vocational program encompassing the Hampton and Newport News Schools systems was a two hour class taken at the 50th Street Vocational Center. Forty NNHS students attended classes in nursing, brick laying, mechanics, metal shops, drafting and electronics. These subjects were taught for job training and with the purpose of helping students find jobs in their vocations. Harold Ruffin carefully sands a table which he constructed in wood shop before he finis hes it with varnish Phillip Winzenrith works with a blow torch as he welds some sheet metal into shape for a project at Vo-Tech. 35 Home Economics Girls Like Food Courses, Delight in Fashions In Home Economics, which covers almost every phase of home making, a student learns a little bit of everything. Not only does this course introduce sewing, cooking, and cleaning; it also includes the little do ' s and don ' ts that go with being the perfect hostess, and entertaining with ease. Delicious smells which emerged from the Home Ec. wing of the building were the result of hours well-spent on the correct preparation of some special dish. Whether it was a vegetable concoction or a complicated dessert, the first steps taken in the direction of preparation were putting on aprons and hair nets. The calorie counting and the mathe- matical skill required in correct measuring of ingre- dients were all a part of the final delicacy often taken for granted by most consumers. Fun as well as interesting, sewing was a favorite class. It was a task for the few who couldn ' t get the finer, expert touches of a good seamstress. A for- tunate few members of these classes won accolade by having their various projects displayed at a P.T.A. meeting and in the hallway showcases. Irene Peterson demonstrates that when a garment is exactly measured, the result is a finer finished product. ,36 Under Mrs. Goolsby ' s guidance, Sandra Atteberry, Peggy Keeter, Barbara Hogg, Saundra Earnhardt, Pat Kearney and Debbie Williams cook, serve and eat a meal they have prepared. , While waiting for the cake to cool, Linda McCall reads aloud the recipe for making the seven-minute frosting to Dixie Haga and Christina Hogg, who combine the ingredients. After it is iced, the cake will be eaten by the class. As a six weeks ' project, Delores Boyce works on a dress. Selection of a pattern and of material suitable to the pattern were important initial steps. 37 Physical Education Gym Students Take on Variable Studies Physical Education not only served as a route to physical fitness, but also delved into mental health, hygiene, and drivers education. Too, it pro- vided the students with an hour of relaxation from their sometimes hectic schedules. Both the boys and girls gym classes covered basketball, softball, volleyball, gymnastics, and bowling, which was added this year. However, only the girls ' classes ventured into hockey and square dancing. The latter, taught every five years, aided the girls ' physical fitness as well as broadened their knowledge of dancing. The boys spent many days concentrating on foot- ball skills and track events. Unlike the girls ' classes, they participated in golfing skills, including putting, slicing, and learning terms that they must be familiar with in order to play the game effectively. The boys worked out on the ropes, the peg-board, and other gymnastic equipment for many long, strenuous hours that resulted in physical fitness. Perfectly executing a roll on the even parallel bars.

Heidi Colley, readying herself to perform a stunt, works out on the stall bars. 39 Special Events What do you see, Ray, as the patterns change? They ' re spending right much time on the concerts. And they all have been great, especially the winter concert. Speaking of working hard, the drama students live at school! It ' s play time again and they ' re giving Flowers for Algernon. Not one empty seat! The play is sad in parts; some cried. Look at all the toys! That Christmas Assembly is great! From dolls to bicycles, you just name the toy and it ' s there. The band may not be as large as it used to be. But you ' ll have to admit it ' s still remarkably powerful. It ' s said the Typhoon band is Number One on the Peninsula. What groovy lights! See the way those colors flash about? Class Night is really swinging this year; Everyone seems to be on Cloud Nine. They went all the way on everything for Senior Prom. I see it ' s at the Chamberlain again this year. That ' s a beautiful place, especially the Virginia Room. The couples are beautiful, too, dressed in their formals. June 14th! Graduation! The day we ' ve worked twelve years for, The day we become alumni ... a day to be remembered Student Leader Ray Jones, Drum Major Beauty Queens Girls Named Winners by Popular Choice Possess Charm, Poise What makes a Homecoming? A queen ' s tears, a good half time show or an attractive court? On the breezy night of November 7th, while Susan Mallory was crowned Homecoming Queen, enthusiastic fans realized it was all of this and something more. This year ' s court was composed of eighth grader Ronnie Higgins, ninth grader Susan Miller, tenth grader Jean Miller and eleventh grader Ada Roach. Mattie Lewter served as senior attendant. Susan Mallory, Jeannie Easmeil, and Patty Barrow acted as senior representatives, one of whom would be chosen as queen by the football team. Wednesday, the 5th, a Homecoming Assembly was held, at which time the court was introduced. The following night a parade ensued on Washington Avenue with floats sponsored by the various classes and organizations of the school. Capturing first place was the Junior Class, with the Seniors and the Library staff winning second and third places, re- spectively. School spirit was high! While the band, in the form of a heart, played Let Me Call You Sweetheart, the annual Band Sweetheart pageant came to a climax. Jackie Huskey and Debbie Buchanan, seniors, vied for the title coveted by every band member. Voted upon by the band on the basis of service, Jackie Huskey was crowned Band Sweetheart by the Pierce twins, last year ' s Sweethearts at the half time of the football game on October 1 7th. Leaving center field is 1969 Band Sweetheart Jackie Huskey, escorted by Drum Major Ray Jones. 42 Homecoming Queen Susan Mallory, wearing her crown and carrying an arm bouquet of American beauty roses, reigns proudly over the Homecoming Dance in the cafeteria after the football game. Her escort is senior Danny Ralston. Susan Mallory, completely overwhelmed, receives a kiss of congratulations from senior football Co-captain Bernie McClellan as Danny Ralston silently looks on. 43 Assemblies Assemblies Reflect Spirit of Student Participation Is you going? This phrase began one of the funniest skits in our annual Beat Hampton as- sembly. This assembly, held each year during football season, gathers participation from various clubs, teachers, and students ' groups. The Hampton as- sembly is always the one that students look forward to during football season. To show the interest in local politics, the Key Club sponsored an assembly during the campaign for gov- ernor. Staunch party members from the two major parties spoke on behalf of their candidates for gover- nor. Mr. John Marshall spoke for Linwood Holton, and Mr. Avery Thomas spoke for William Battle. A lively, informative discussion ensued in which stu- dents asked questions and were answered factually. Another highlight of the year ' s assemblies was the Christmas assembly. A beautiful nativity scene enacted by drama students, served as tne oacK- ground for Christmas selections sung the school ' s chorus. During this assembly, toys from each home- room were brought up on stage by homeroom rep- resentatives to be distributed to underprivileged children by the U S. Marines. The National Honor Society held its annual in- duction assembly in January. New members are selected on the basis of leadership, scholarship, character and service. This year fifteen members were inducted into the organization, six seniors and nine juniors. Inductees ' parents were invited guests at the assembly and reception. Directed by Mrs. Carter, the faculty presents a skit patterned after Hee-Haw ' ' for the Hampton Pep Assembly. The last basketball pep assembly topped the varsity basketball players off with crowns fit for a King and long stemmed red roses, which were presented to them by the varsity cheerleaders. Cindy Spahr, head cheerleader, acts as commentator. Answering a question about Holton ' s platform is Republican, John Marshall. Warren Crisp, Keyclubber, acts as his host. Debbie Laws shows delight at being tapped as a new member for National Honor Society in the Induction Assembly. Christmas Assembly participants, who convey the true spirit of Christmas are Richard Rawls, Jo Jo Bethea. Ray Jones, Debbie Williams, Ray Monger, Dixie Haga, Mattie Lewter, Billy Sauer, Byron Shaddock and Ritzi Graham 45 Behind a set depicting a typical country town, members of the girls ' chorus and the boys ' chorus sing Country Style , while Carl Bethea, caught up in the mood of things, sways and dances to the beat as he sings. Simon Richardson sings Leaving on a Singing Matchmaker as one of its renditions of Cabaret, the girls ' chorus blends Jet Plane soulfully during Cabaret. voices in lovely harmony as the girls sit informally at various levels. 46 Kent Sheridan, Brenda Price, Bill Wolfley, Dwight Lockett and Dwight Stall sing Christmas Is . Combined voices of girls ' chorus and boys ' chorus sing carols during the annual Christmas concert. Winter Concert, Cabaret Almost Three Hundred Students Participate Musically, Dramatically Among the highlights of the year were the musi- cal programs given at Christmas time and in the spring. These combined programs were finished products of long hours spent in practices and in rehearsals before, during, and after school by approximately two hundred seventy-five people. These students were directed by two talented and capable musicians, Mrs. Dot Carter, choral director, and Mr. Herbert Cox, band director. Miss Pam Selden of the Drama Department directed her stage crew as they made props and sets and arranged lighting for both of these productions. These productions are so popular that a full house is always assured when they are presented yearly. Cabaret, an annual event, had many delightful numbers this year. Interspersed among the varied numbers of the music students were go-go girls and can-can dancers who gyrated to music by the Dance Band. Comedian Bill Wolfley donned a hula skirt and brought down the house with his skit. Guest soloist was Dianne Earls, a former student vocalist, who sang soul and pop music. Outstanding cornet player is John McCandlish, who plays the solo parts of Toy Trumpet in the annual winter concert. 47 Drama Plays in Spring, Fall Are High Entertainment Hi teach! Hi pupe! Such was the language of understanding in the Drama Department ' s fall play Up the Down Staircase. Giving the students an opportunity to play themselves was a new experi- ence for most of the cast but one which they found different and stimulating. It ' s always hardest to play yourself, one student said. Those playing administrative parts also found their characters challenging. The roles enabled them to bridge the communication gap and see the motivations of their elders. It was a funny, touching, every-day-situation play that involved the audience so that they were participants. Flowers for Algernon, the spring play, was a poignant, sensitive drama about a mentally retarded adult whose intelligence is increased by surgery. Charlie Gordon becomes so smart he finishes the experiment himself, only to find out his fate. Calling on all the dramatic ability the cast could muster, the play proved a real crucible of talent. Long hours of practice were supplemented by line rehearsals as each player sought a common goal — the confidence of character that boasts a smooth production, a play well performed. Seated behind the scrim, Donna Luca do ponders over the letter written to her by her sister in New York. In Up the Down Staircase Lennie, acted by Karl Bethea, gives his excuse for not having McHabe, played by Joey Pearson, his homework, Well, Miss Barrett, it ' s like this, my dog went ' on my homework! expounds on disciplinary methods. 48 Charlie Gordon, portrayed by Ray Monger, plays with Algernon, a mouse which has been given artifical intelligence through shots.

Each couple was carried up to the lovely Virginia Room by elevator. On en- tering the Prom room, one could see his classmates sitting at separate tables with candlelighting, in secret conversation, or dancing to the music of the soul band, Charlie McCleandon and the Magnificents. Some of the couples also found entertainment in walking on the pier and watching the illuminated ships at sea, while others sat talking around the out- door pool on the patio of the Chamberlin. To top the evening off, the Prom Committee prepared a short program for entertainment. Princi- pal John Caywood acted as Emcee as each Hall of Fame winner was announced upon entry into the ballroom. Each girl carring a long stemmed red rose entered with her escort. Following the introduction of the Hall of Fame, Mr. Caywood announced the nominees for King and Queen. As the great moment everyone anticipated came, James Arnette and Sandra Davenport were elected King and Queen. Sandra was presented a crown and James was given a trophy. Brenda Goard then presented red roses to Class Sponsor Mrs. Thomas. Prom time came and went quickly but the mem- ory lingers on, a memory of beauty, of pleasure, of romance — an unforgettable evening. Peggy Anzio and Joe Leach enjoy an evening of fun and dance, swinging and swirling to the fast beat of the band. Punch and sandwiches are an enjoyable part of Prom time as shown by Clarence Hill and Deanna Muckerson 51 Class Night Flashback of a Class Reunion Entertains Guests at Class Night Pinning a corsage on Homeroom Teacher Mrs. Margaret Min- nick is Patty Barrow, senior class officer. After much hard work that makes for a good production, on June 4th, 213 slightly relieved sen- iors proceeded into the auditorium to “Pomp and Cir- cumstance , which was played by the band. At the opening of the program, Class President Bernie McClelland welcomed parents and friends of the graduates. Following his address. Class Musi- cians Ella Davis (instrumentalist) and Gloria Mayfield (vocalist) performed. Class Giftorian Walter Williams then presented the school with films of the lunar landing. Special gifts were given to Mr. Caywood, Mrs. Milne and Mrs. Thomas. Senior homeroom teachers were given white carnation corsages from the Senior Class, presented at class night for the first time. As the curtain opened revealing a half-stage set- ting, already in progress was the Class Reunion of the Class of 1970. . . . One reunioner remarked Remember how we antagonized poor old Mr. Reveley? Especially Wilton Jordan and his imita- tions. The half curtain arose to reveal Dad Reveley (Wilton Jordan) in a typical classroom scene. Many more skits and talents were shown at the reunion. Following the recessional, parents and friends of the graduates were given a reception by the PTA. 52 In a modern dance routine, Irene Delk and Robert Whitaker display their talent in the class night program. Dad Reveley, impersonated by Wilton Jordan, finds that a girl (Steve Taylor) instigates trouble in his classroom. Class Musician Gloria Mayfield sings Misty as Ella Davis, who also holds the title, accompanies her. nk ,1 V Vl I Ml Betsy Turner dramatizes a monologue of an insane girl whose sister wants to take her to an asylum. The dramatic mono- logue was written by Miss Gail Williams, journalism teacher, of the English Department. 53 Listening attentively to class speakers are eight of seventeen honor graduates: Brenda Raper, Pearl Murphy, Pam Venable, Regina Williams Gonzales, Debbie Buchanan, Leni Gray, Debbie Caldwell Brown and Gail Perry. David Thomas, class speaker, challenges his classmates to be aware of current problems and active in helping solve them.

Aaron Wall, Patty Barrow and Harvey Anker file out of the gym as new alumni. Last on the agenda for graduating seniors was checking in caps and gowns to Miss Ann Edison in the girls ' gymnasium. Graduation One Hundred Ninety-five Candidates for Diplomas Laud Student Speakers Graduating seniors of Newport News High School entered the doors of the Julie Conn Gymnasium to the music of Pomp and Circumstance on Sunday, June fourteenth, nineteen hundred and seventy. Faculty members, dressed in the colors of their Alma Maters, led the march. The senior girls were dressed in white caps and gowns and the boys wore blue. Proudly they marched in step. Class President Bernard McClelland gave the Invocation, after which combined choruses sang Once to Every Man and Nation. Salutatorian Sandra Nicol began the speeches. Following her oration were the class speakers. David Thomas, chosen by his classmates, and Harvey Anker, se- lected by the faculty, each spoke on happenings in colleges throughout the nation. Concluding the speeches was Aaron Wall, who gave the valedictory address using the Class Motto. It is better to look forward to what can be done than to look down on what has been done. After the Newport News Typhoon Band played a medley of hymns, the presentation of diplomas was made by Mr. John Caywood, principal, aided by Mr. Jim Wilson and Mr. W. A. Lipscomb. Senior Class Secretary Patty Barrow gave the benediction. Concluding the ceremonies was the recessional, University Grand March,” which was played by the Typhoon Band. 55 Senior Leaders Top Six Seniors Involved in Service, Leadership and Scholarship Outstanding leadership ability was an obvious trait of SCA president Aaron Wall, who graduated first in his class. Aaron was an active member of National Honor Society, of the Key Club, and of the Student Affairs Committee. A very good athlete, he was a member of the baseball team. Aaron received the American Legion Citizenship Award for his outstanding character and service. Engaging in diverse extra-curricular doings,” Sandra Nicol served as president of the French Club and of Christopher Newport Society. She was known to work diligently on ANCHOR staff. Sandra achieved recognition through Nelms Honor Scroll and had the honor of being Class Salutatorian. Striving to instill within the student body a knowledge of the Honor Code was Honor Council Chairman Debbie Caldwell. Debbie was a Girls ' State delegate as a junior. This year she was voted by the faculty to receive the DAR Award for out- standing citizenship. She, too, was a member of National Honor Society. Incorporating manual dexterity with mental ability, Regina Williams Gonzalez served as sec- retary to the History Department. She made Nelms Honor Scroll and was elected to membership in National Honor Society. This past year Regina was secretary to Mr. Willey, Business Head. Rounding out her senior year as president of Keyettes, Debbie Buchanan was a member of the Typhoon Marching Band and of the Concert Band. She was elected attendant to the Band Sweetheart. Being a member of National Honor Society, she also won distinction on Nelms Honor Scroll. Co-editing the 1970 ANCHOR was Gail Perry, who also served as president of FTA. Gail was on the Executive Board of SCA and worked faithfully on the Student Affairs Committee trying to find solutions to the problems which the students en- countered. She was Vice-president of National Honor Society and was on Nelms Honor Scroll. -V 7 56 Activities As the patterns change, what do you see, Deanna? The Anchor members are working diligently on the yearbook. Gee, it ' s after five o ' clock and they ' re still at school. There ' s a new column in the Beacon . . . Everybody ' s reading it. Showing school spirit is something all Typhoon fans do. As the greatest band plays, the flagtwirlers go through their routines, the cheerleaders lead the yells, the students respond with, Yea-a-a-a man! All of our assemblies have been good. Haven ' t they? They couldn ' t have them without the help of the stage crew. Those boys worked early and late setting up flats and props. Boy, are those posters loud! Look at the psychedelic colors. They sure do brighten up the auditorium during SCA elections. That was an interesting lecture the sergeant gave on drugs. It makes you think twice about taking trips. What lovely music is coming from the chorus room. Wonder who it is. Oh, it ' s the harpist from Williamsburg. She ' s the most! There ' s a lot going on around this school.

Instead of the usual number of girls in Girls ' Chorus, the number doubled because of the addition of a new girls ' chorus class. This brought the total number of students in choral work to two hundred. Concert Choir, the elite of the choral department, sang at numerous school programs, providing an excellent beginning for many assemblies. It per- formed at local churches, women ' s clubs and several elementary schools indicating not only its popularity, but also its excellence. The choir has built good will wherever it has gone. Held for the third annual year. Cabaret featured all of the choral department members. With repu- tation as its publicity. Cabaret had a full house at each performance. Its versatility offered something everyone could enjoy in the way of fine musical entertainment and enrichment. Combined choruses and the Typhoon band per- formed for the Christmas concert in December and for the spring concert held in May. Participating in Workshop and Regional choruses and selling candy to raise needed money were familiar to each choral member. Ending a very pro- ductive year, the combined choruses performed at Commencement exercises in June. Concert Choir members were ( Row 1) Edward Nuttycombe. Debbie Lloyd. Sherwood Harville.

Leading the Typhoon Marching Band through an exciting season of parades, concerts, pep assemblies, and grueling hours of practice were Pam Venable, Debbie Sandige, Linda Bell, Lynn Stewart. Sandra Lockett, and Head Mattie Lewter. Mr Cox discusses a formation for the Turkey Day game with Drum Major Ray Jones and Assistant Drum Major David Joyce. Right: Drum Major Ray Jones has blown his whistle directing and leading the Typhoon Band for two award-winning years. 62 k Typhoon Band Typhoons March in Cherry Blossom Festival With the tireless job of practicing every morning from 7:30 to 8:30, the Typhoon Marching Band merited the honor of being the only band in the state to be invited to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D. C. on April 1 1 . For several years the band has won top awards in the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester. This year instead of traveling to Winchester, the band accepted the out-of-state invitation to go to Washington. Because the Newport News School Board has maintained a policy through the years of not allowing city bands to travel out of the state, the band was elated to be allowed to go to Washington. It was unfortunate that Drum Major Ray Jones broke his arm during the football season and could not participate in several half time performances. David Joyce was a creditable replacement during this time. Having the enjoyable, but demanding job of twirling with the band, were the Flag-twirlers under the leadership of Mattie Lewter. These girls performed at football games and pep assemblies, in concerts and in parades, always an active force. Continuously adding merits and demerits to the band ledger was Jackie Huskey, band secretary. At the end of the year, after all points were added up, Mr. Cox gave the band members awards. The Sherman Award and the Arion Award were also presented to worthy seniors for outstanding ability. Participation in the Armed Forces Day parade, the annual Oyster Bowl parade, the Columbus Day parade and the NNHS Homecoming parade added to the bands full schedule. Concerts were held in February and May. To raise needed money for these activities, band members sold Christmas candles, NNHS stationery, candy and the traditional band calendars, so well known at NNHS. Under the direction of Mr. Herbert 0. Cox, the band was always quick with an oomph pa pa and loyal support to the school, which was displayed by every member of the spirited band. The Senior Band members in concert formation are Debbie Buchanan, Kathy Vellines. Linda Bell, Brenda Price. Bill Granger. Deborah Horne. Pam Venable. Cindy Solomon, Sandra Lawrence.

Drum Major Gary Colton had the rewarding job of leading the JV Band in their many activities. One, two, three, four, says Mr. John Stewart, JV Band director, as he marks the pace of the music played by the band during a morning rehearsal. JV Band Experience, Accomplishment Typify Baby Blues Notes missed, squeaks and mistakes amid smooth music are not frowned on, but looked on as a part of the learning process of the JV band. Often referred to as the Baby Blues of the Typhoon music program, the JV band is an impor- tant part of the department ' s structure. Under the forceful but gentle hand of Director John Stewart, the band is the testing ground for those who hope to aspire to the Typhoon Marching Band. These beginners learned the necessary funda- mentals needed to further their musical studies, from a simple marching formation to musical terms and procedures. But because the members of the band struggled to grasp what was being taught them, their hard work paid in dividends. Participating in the Williamsburg Christmas parade, the Columbus Day parade, and giving a brilliant performance for Homecoming ceremonies were some of the band ' s achievements. Drum Major Gary Colton had the job of leading the band wherever it marched. The JV flagtwirlers supplied that extra something which added grace to the band ' s performances. It was a year of growth and experience for the JV band. 1 V X TjVf .. � „ f ' m 9KT - . wjm ■ U _ The Junior Band members for 1969-70 were Patricia Morgan. Celine Dove. Carol Griffith, Gena Stanaway.

Cindi Spahr in pinning on her Thanksgiving Day corsage. 66 Varsity Cheerleaders Tireless Cheerleaders Incite Fans to Vocal Thunder Tired and flushed, they looked over the excited crowd. As perspiration streamed down their faces, they glanced at each other and sighed. They had cheered through another game. Mathematically speaking, the world of the cheer- leader is a veritable paradise for the statistician. In a school year they did about 27,500 cheers and chants, approximately 2,500 apiece. Roughly speak- ing, they jumped 3,750 times, or a total of almost 41,250 jumps. This doesn ' t include the time spent in practice and learning new cheers, or making favors to be given out to the teams before games. With plenty of spunk and determination, the Varsity Cheerleaders proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Their zeal on the field was matched only by their enthusiasm on the court. This year found school spirit at a peak which it hadn ' t reached in years. Much of this can be traced to the contagious effervescence of the cheerleaders. Not content just to cheer, these cheerleaders, led by Cindi Spahr, also sold football buttons, held a car wash and gave parties for the football and basketball teams from their project money. Add to this the fact that they held regular practice sessions, wrote and rehearsed countless assemblies, and made good luck charms for both the football and basketball teams and you can understand how busy the cheerleaders were. It is no wonder that being a cheerleader requires so much energy and exuberance. You bet it ' s hard work being a cheerleader! any one of them will tell you. But it ' s great fun. Victory, victory is our cry, yelled varsity cheerleaders during one of the time outs at the Eastern Regional Basketball Tournament game between Newport News and J.F. Kennedy of Suffolk, held at the coliseum. JV Cheerleaders JV Cheerleaders Fill Variety of Unlikely Jobs Like a catalyst in a chemical reaction, the JV cheerleaders were the kinetic force that sparked the JV teams to victory. Activists by nature, they were continually working as the need arose, filling a variety of unlikely capacities. Like their big sisters, the JV cheerleaders, found themselves devoting much of their time and energy toward bringing school spirit to a peak and arousing enthusiasm. Supporting the JV teams was their most impor- tant job, and they did it with all the vim and vigor they could muster. Not stopping there, they helped their Varsity sisters sell spirit badges, and held a reception for the JV basketball team. At their first JV football game, which was with Huntington, the cheerleaders collected money for the flood victims in some Virginia areas and communities. In an effort to better themselves, some of the girls went to a cheerleading clinic to learn new skills. To make sure these skills and others were put to use. Head JV cheerleader Debbie Hooten held regular practice sessions. A lot of work was involved but there was a lighter side too. Pajama parties and meetings held at each other ' s houses added a re- laxed atmosphere, making it easier for the girls to work together in harmony and togetherness. Much time, work and effort was spent by the JV cheerleaders, but they were rewarded with winning teams, good times and lasting friendships. Cheering the JV teams on to victory were Junior Varsity cheerleaders Elena Lewis, Charlene Fineman, head Debbie Hooten, Carol Thomas. Jean Miller, Anita Weaver, Brenda Carter and Sherry Hudgins. 68 Heidi-hey. heidi-ho, yells Head JV cheerleader Debbie Hooten as the rest of the squad prepares to join in with the cheer.

Steve Oliver, vice president, Aaron Wall, president, and Linda Pearce, treasurer, S.C. A officers, discuss plans for the Student Affairs Committee Assembly. SCA SCA Institutes Student Affairs Committee To be a member of the Student Cooperative Asso- ciation. one need only be a member of the student body, because the student body is the SCA group. Organizing and planning activities is the chief task of the Executive Board, which acts as the guiding force of the Student Council group. Formed of homeroom representatives, the Stu- dent Council is the hub from which all of the student activities extend. Together the Executive Board and the Student Council form the heart of the SCA. Like a spiral or a circle within a circle, each of the branches of the SCA were divided into smaller working parts. Having twelve standing committees, the Executive Board epitomized the hard work of the SCA. The Special Events Committee prepared all special assemblies and planned events. Created to help solve the many problems of the student body, the Student Affairs Committee held an assembly in April to present its ideas to the students. The Publicity Committee had the job of informing the public of NNHS functions. Sending get well cards and flowers was the job of the Remembrance Committee. The School Spirit Committee spent long hours after school making posters and signs for the football, basketball and baseball teams. Other committees were the Dance, House, Citizenship, Poster, Scrapbook, Elections and Cafeteria, which functioned effectively. By encouraging participation of the students, the SCA was able to do its job worthily, being backed by the entire student body, which was the worker, actor and spectator of the SCA drama. 70 SCA Committee heads were Patty Barrow and Danny Ralston.

President at NNHS, Waddell Elected Vice-President In a campaign skit, a roving reporter (Jack Christy) asks LBJ ' s (Bill Wolfley) views on the political scene. Excitement mounted as votes werlp counted on May first, S.C.A. elections day. Candidates eagerly awaited the results. When the outcome was an- nounced, a scream, a laugh, a cry, and a sigh of maybe next year could be heard as student co- operative association election results were posted late in the afternoon on the bulletin board. Starting weeks in advance, candidates prepared petitions, held poster parties, wrote speeches, and campaigned for votes. During the week of the elec- tions, the halls were alive with posters aimed at getting student votes and winning popularity. Campaign speeches, balloons, clowns throwing candy, music, dancers, skits and speakers were all part of the campaign assembly. Nervous people with sweating palms stood before the student body and attempted to capture interest and votes. New officers for 1970-71 were Regi Johns, president, Mike Waddell, vice-president, Charlsie Porter, secretary, and Debbie Hooten, treasurer. These officers were installed in an assembly held on May twenty-second. S.C.A. elections were a time of frustration, anxiety and triumph for winning candidates and the entire student body. Prior to the SCA Elections Campaign Assembly, candidate Reginald Johns and his campaign manager, Meta Mullen, put up a poster which lists his activities and helps him win the SCA presidency. In the campaign assembly at the end of Mike Waddell ' s campaign speech, hundreds of balloons descended from a trap door in the auditorium ceiling as a five piece band and four boys with posters paraded up and down the aisles. Claude Hunter mans the ballot boxes as a multitude of eager Freshmen showing school spirit await their turn to occupy the booths and cast their votes. 73 Keyettes, Key Club, ICT, DE As Pam Curtis, Richard Cooke and Linda Whitfield arrange a showcase with merchandise, Mr. Marvin, DE head, supervises. Keyettes Entertain Band; Job Placement Concerns ICT As an active service club with the motto, “We Serve , the Keyettes began the year with a com- munity project, collecting for Muscular Dystrophy. Projects serving the school ranged from selling victory links for the band, football and basketball teams, to cleaning the ladies ' rest rooms in the stadium prior to footbal l season. Selling blue and gold ballpoint pens bearing the school name proved to be successful. Key Clubbers sponsored an assembly at which party members spoke on behalf of the candidates for the governorship of Virginia. Members of the Key Club served as ushers for all home basketball games, various football games and the Miss Typhoon Pageant. They were chauf- feurs for the Homecoming and Band Sweetheart candidates in the parade and half time festivities. Composed of DE ICT students, the DE and ICT clubs were concerned with obtaining good jobs for students with definite career ideas and those seeking part-time employment. Before their trip to Washington to participate in the Cherry Blossom Festival, the Typhoon Marching Band was honored at a reception given by Keyettes to show their appreciation and support of the band. la ' o| Iff , 2t J ML iflLAjH W ICT student Belinda Trainum gives a customer a permanent as part of her training at Jan Mar Beauty Academy while her instructor Mrs. Adams supervises her work.

Held this year at the Gourmet Inn, the banquet proved to be a great success. Induction into the Latin Club consisted of portraying a Roman slave dressed in the traditional toga. Slaves had to wait on the old members during dinner as part of their initiation. For their first meeting of the year, the French club engaged a speaker from the Peninsula French Club who showed slides on France. Sponsoring a dance in April and entering a girl in the Miss Typhoon Pageant were other activities of the club. Sponsoring a bake sale for faculty members was a project of the Spanish club. Due to a very small membership, activities were limited. In preparation for her part in the Latin Club banquet, first year Latin student Rose Mallory makes a toga. Behind a masonite board used as a screen, freshman members of the French Club, George Barrow and Beth Massey, manipulated their French puppets and used French dialogue as entertainment for an afternoon French Club meeting. 76 With school rapidly coming to a close, the French Club decorated the Language clubs ' bulletin board with articles honoring the graduating seniors. Spanish Club members Bobby Copeland and Mike Christian post pictures depict- ing a Spanish vacation while Mrs. Parnell and Brenda Price tape a skit. CNS, Science Club, Radio Club CNS Travels to Washington for Annual Spring Trip One hundred people in the Christopher Newport Society? How do they ever get anything accom- plished? But much was accomplished! Afternoon programs were presented on drug abuse and the draft with speakers familiar with these subjects leading the discussions. April 17th, the CNS traveled to Washington for their annual spring trip. Since CNS is an historical society, the trip proved very valuable for the mem- bers. Because of the rising cost of renting buses, doughnuts were sold to reduce the cost of the trip for several members of the club. Ending the year was an installation program and reception for the 1970-71 officers. Radio Club members traveled to York High School and WGH radio station to learn more of how radio stations are operated. At Christmas, the Radio Club presented a musical program featuring Christmas music for the students via the public address system in the administrative offices. Visiting the Edgar Cayce Foundation in Norfolk and taking part in Earth Day activities at Christopher Newport College were projects of the Science Club. A speaker was also present to discuss the field of chemistry. At a meeting open to the student body. Dr. Johnson of the College of William and Mary gave a very interesting speech on the study of the earth and how pollution has defiled it. In observance of Earth Day, Science Club members Judy Rickey, Wrenda Wheeler, Virginia Weymouth, James Harris and Ricky Hoffman pick up trash around the school while Gail Grannum puts up a bulletin board concerning pollution. 78 After an interesting and informative meeting of the Chrisopher Newport Society.

Future Teachers Visit Plaza Junior High, Health Careers Club Goes to Dunbar Hospital Starting off the year with an induction breakfast and candle light ceremony for new members was the Future Teachers of America. Money making projects included a bake sale held at Giant Open Air Market and a doughnut sale held at school. Providing their service to the school, the FTA members sponsored a tea for teachers and acted as teachers ' aides during National Education Week. Field trips played an important part in F.T.A. activities. Plaza Junior High, which employed the modular system of study, a Jewish parochial school. Willow Oaks Learning Foundation, the Educational TV station in Norfolk, Hampton Institute and Thomas Nelson College were visited. Visiting Dunbar Hospital in Williamsburg was the first field trip of the year for the HCC. Touring the X-Ray department of Dixie Hospital and visiting the Veterans Hospital in the early spring were trips also taken by the club. Doctors, lab technicians, dentists, nurses, medical secretaries and many more vocations in health were studied by the Health Careers Club. Speakers representing social work, professional nursing, laboratory work and medical records li- brarian aided many members in deciding their future vocation. Ending the year was the annual pinning ceremony held at the Gourmet Inn. Future Homemakers of America decorated the tables in the cafeteria for various school functions and the faculty Christmas party. Honoring Future Homemakers Week, the F.H.A. prepared a show- case with items of interest to the school. F.T.A. member Regi Johns observes Mrs. Parks ' teaching techniques at the Non-Graded school.

Fine directors help and the participants deserve a lot of credit, but when it comes to the all important scenery and lighting, the stage crew is a big ingredient. Following the plans of the set designer, the stage crew had the vital task of setting the mood through scenery for the drama functions. Through long hours of work, they painted flats, made back- drops, built platforms and secured furniture for the set. From the first piece of hammered wood to the striking of the set, they worked together to produce the total effect needed. Much happens backstage that the audience is never aware of and a successful show is the result of hard work, time, and a stage crew that knows what it is doing. To be a member of the stage crew, a jack-of-all-trades was needed, from electronics, to carpentry, to art, to mechanics. Along with the stage crew, the usher staff made it possible for a show to run smoothly and efficiently. Seeing that everyone was properly seated and had programs, as well as the collection of tickets was a task that was performed with expedience, cour- tesy, and tactfulness. Their work added a pleasing note to many performances and other functions. Stage crew members Terry Cox, Wilbur Cox, Marlene Waters, Shevoic demonstrate that much hard work goes into the making Usher staff member Pam Curtis gives Usher staff members Denise Johnson, Head Debbie Caldwell, Kathy Cooper, Sandra Mrs Nuttycombe a Cabaret program. Hess, and Linda Aman discuss plans for taking up tickets and giving out programs. 82 Joe Byrd, Richard Sullivan and Stanley of any construction of stage props.

NHS — Honor Council Honor Organizations Promote, Student Growth My candle represents the light of knowledge . . The radiance of leadership . . Each added glow of growth in character . . This candle signifies the brightness and joy of service in school activities. With these four ideas began the traditional National Honor Society Assembly. As the four members spoke on the requisites for membership, scholarship, leadership, character, and service, anx- ious students awaited the tapping of new members, the highest honor a school member can bestow. With the giant emblem of the society serving as a background, fifteen juniors and seniors stood on the stage with lit candles. They received armbands and congratulations from President Dwight Stall. After certificates were presented by Mr. Caywood the six seniors and nine juniors recited the NHS pledge. Traditional singing of the Impossible Dream was provided by the Concert Choir. Following the assembly, a reception was held for the new members and their parents in the cafeteria. The refreshments were provided by the cafeteria manager Mrs. Rudisal, and her staff. Chairman of the Honor Council, Debbie Caldwell, and the eight other members of the council strove to teach offenders the value of honor in school life. The oldest system in the state of Virginia, the NNHS Honor Council met regularly in Room 228 under the guidance of Mr. Lipscomb and Mr. Correll, both of whom have served two years.

Beacon — Launchings Beacon, Launchings Led by Epps, Banks, Thomas Behind the closed doors of Room 102, diligently worked the Beacon staff. Headed by Dee Epps and Al Banks, the small staff of fifteen was expanded to include the first year journalism class, which worked directly on the paper. Taking the needed pictures was the job of three photographers, David Joyce, Lyman McCay, and Thomas Penny. Laying out pages, cropping pictures and selling ads were all necessary for the paper to meet its budget and its publication deadlines. The six page newspaper was published bi-monthly, except during the months of December and January. Added to the makeup of the Beacon was a new column. Dee ' s Dumps, which is patterned after Ann Landers. In this column students ' questions were answered. Held annually, the Launchings Art and Literary Contest was designed to encourage students to submit essays, short stories, poems, and art work for publication. Monetary prizes were awarded for the top three places in art and writings. Headed by David Thomas, the Launchings staff reviewed entries for the contest and chose selec- tions for publication. The modernly styled magazine was enlarged to include more art work. From 600 poems, essays, short stories, and art work submitted, only 70 were selected. It was quite an honor to have a selection published. Again this year. Miss Gail Williams, served as adviser for both the school newspaper. Beacon, and the Art and Literary Magazine, Launchings. Editor David Thomas reads a Launchings contest entry to Launchings staff members Lettie Murphy, Susan Miller, Sandra Lockett, Claude Hunter, Al Banks.

Joey Pearson and Kathy McDaniel. Junior representatives on the Anchor staff, spend many tiring hours cropping pictures and laying out pages for the underclassmen section of the yearbook. 88 Anchor (PP5,x Anchor Steps Up to Collegiate Size Book No one leaves this room until the deadline is met . . . That layout will have to be done over! . . . Help me crop pictures, will you? . . . Attained does sound better than got! . . . This cap has a widow . . Headlines have to be pertinent . . . You need that picture now? . . . This copy is driving me mad! Such were the sounds that issued from Room 1 00 as the 1 969-70 Anchor Staff fought to rise over insurmountable obstacles and to wade through numerous difficulties. Working with an inexperi- enced staff, Co-Editors Deanna Muckerson and Gail Perry found patience and time. Lack of funds proved to be another problem the staff had to face, and ad-selling, they found, wasn ' t an easy job. Still another problem was the indecision of H E W. on the matter of desegration, which made it difficult for the staff to select a theme that would capture this year and its events. Moving to a collegiate size book aided the con- fusion and, sometimes, frustration. Members had to learn to work with the new layouts, copy blocks, and the addition of kickers to the headlines. Versatile advisor, Mrs. Martha Jo Milne, caught between worry and exasperation, was the ray of hope that kept the staff together. Her dedication and willingness to work was an inspiration to the Anchor staff. Through her forti tude and persever- ance, the staff was able to work together as a team to produce a yearbook in ' 69 which received an All-American rating, the first one our school ever received. We tried to repeat the pattern. Co-Editors of the Anchor. Gail Perry and Deanna Muckerson, review the 1 969 Anchor during Anchor class period 89 Sports Cindi, what do you see as the patterns change? The first kick-off in the second half of the Turkey Day game. With crowds cheering and shouting for a Typhoon victory. He ' s running! Ducking and charging all who ' re in his way. He ' s going to make it! Touchdown! Yea-a-a-a-a! Boy, is he ever fast! He ' s dribbling all around the players. O-o-o, just two points to break the tie. Will he make it? The ball is on the rim ! It ' s in ! The cinder men are springing into action as track season opens. Bang ! They ' re off ! Look at those boys go ! Running, pole vaulting, or throwing, we stay in there and fight. You ' d think it was made of rubber the way he hit that ball. It ' s over the fence! I can ' t even see it! First base, second base, third! He ' s trying for home! Watch out, she almost hit that girl with her hockey stick. Though the game is rough, the girls still like it. What a beautiful set-up! Over the net for a two-point lead. That was a hard game of volleyball the girls played. Muscle tone, good sportsmanship, cooperation, togetherness. Sports seem to make fan-addicts of us all. Student Leader Cindi Spahr, Varsity Varsity Football Records Fall as Team Ends Season with 8-2 District Standing For the thirty-five members that could with- stand the hot, long hours of summer practice, the 1969 football season proved to be rewarding and recording. Under the direction of Head Coach Charlie Nuttycombe, Line Coach Harlan Hott, Defensive Perimeter Coach Jim LoFrese, and Offensive Back- field Coach Donnie White, the NNHS varsity foot- ball team ended up what was supposed to be an off-season with an impressive standing — eight wins and two losses. This standing was good for third place in the district run-off. Individual records of past Typhoon teams fell to the 1969 Typhoons. Senior end Chuckie Wil- liams ' 27 pass receptions and 576 total yards were good for two records. Halfback Willie Armstead and Jojo Bethea had the right combination for four records. Armstead had the most touchdown passes caught (6), total points scored (124), and total touchdowns scored (20). Bethea had the longest run from scrimmage (95 yards). Phil Allen kicked the most points after touchdowns (22) to set another record. In all, there were seven records broken by Typhoon players this season. From an untested offensive line developed what was known as the best backfield on the Peninsula: Armstead, Bethea, Regi Johns and Alton Jenkins.

Armstead sprints through an opening in the offensive line for a 28-yard touchdown in our eighth game of the season. Varsity Football Bad Start, Bad Finish, Spots Impressive Season September 13th marked the start of the Typhoon season. Over 5,000 fans watched Huntington ' s Vikings defeat Newport News with a score of 18-12. The Blue and Gold caught wind in the next game and its force was felt by York as Armstead carried the Typhoons to a 45-7 win. Next to fall in defeat were the Crestwood Bombers to a 20-16 score. Facing Warwick, the Typhoons whirled over the Farmers 36-16. Pembroke tasted defeat next as they were downed 38-6. Five-in-a-row was the chant as the Blue and Gold beat Kecoughtan 43-13. James Blair lost to the Typhoons by 27-8. Newport News had no mercy on Denbigh as the Patriots went down 62-12. All-Regional and All- District defensive halfback Bobby Creekmore, a tri- captain, was injured in this game and was out of action for the rest of the season. The Ferguson Mariners were defeated 35-12. Thanksgiving Day marked the oldest rivalry on the Peninsula as Newport News faced Hampton High. A sell-out crowd of over 8,000 fans watched the Blue and Gold Typhoons fall in its second and most frustrating defeat of the season. The final score was 28-0 in Hampton ' s favor. NNHS Typhoons are.

They gained a tie with Hampton High as District Champions and were top-seeded in the District Tournament. The final over-all stand- ing was 16-2 and the District ' s record was an im- pressive 1 0- 1 , an enviable accomplishment. The mighty Blue and Gold ballhawks started off the 1969 season with a not too impressive win over Warwick. The team won, but we still didn ' t have that little spark that can make a great basketball team. We must have gotten something going after that because we reeled off seven more wins that made everyone know why we had been picked as favorites to win the title this year. Out of our next three games, we tasted defeat twice. Carver dropped us 61-51 and Pembroke ' s Pirates downed us 71-67. In between those two games, we defeated York 74-52. Showing true Typhoon blood, we came back to win our last seven games. This streak included a revenging win over Carver and our second triumph over last year ' s defending State Champions, Hampton High. Junior Jo-JoBethea (30) shoots a 10-foot jumper over the outstretched hands of a bewilded York High Opponent. During a pause in the action of our first game with Hampton High, Typhoon Mentor Charlie Woollum explains the strategy that he wants his cagers (seated left to right) Willie Armstead, Phil Allen, Jo-Jo Bethea, and Jerry Soloman to employ.

All of the Pen- insula basketball coaches favored the Typhoons as the eventual champions and we came through on top to prove that we could live up to expectations. The first game was against the unpredictable Huntington High Vikings. Although we were quite fearful of our encounter with the Vikings, we man- aged an impressive 73-62 victory. In the semi-finals game, we were matched against Pembroke, the only team that we didn ' t defeat in regular season play. We were out for revenge. The fighting baby Pirates started off hot, but we soon cooled them and won the game by a score of 63-46. We came up “one-on-one against the Carver Trojans in the finals. W e showed that our wind was still whirling strong as we swept them off the court with a score of 77-53. The following week-end marked the beginning of Regional Tournament action. Unlike before, the Typhoons were picked to be knocked out of action in the first game. Not letting this get us down, the Typhoons ran up an outstanding 64-50 win over the much taller John F. Kennedy of Suffolk. In the second game, the Typhoons suffered a loss to Maury High School and was eliminated. BASKETBALL SCOREBOARD NN OPPONENT 47 .... Warwick 38 62 ... Ferguson 52 82 ....

Although the outdoor team posted a five wins and zero lost record, Coaches Julie Conn and Charlie Nuttycombe were still a little disappointed in the team ' s over-all performance. We didn ' t do as well as we should have done in the big meets. Our dominance of events in past years was missed this season. Sprinter Preston Williams, pole-vaulter Edward Nuttycombe, and weightman Jerry Brunson helped bring a few highlighted glories to good old Newport News High School. Leonard Tucker, a junior, warms up for his specialty, the 880 yard run, before our dual meet with Pembroke. The mighty Typhoon wind seemed to breeze right through York High, Pembroke High, Warwick High, and Ferguson High ' s track teams because we got wins over them with relatively easy going. Carver High came close to giving us a hard way to go, but we managed to down them too. Williams was a double or a triple winner in each of these meets. Nuttycombe, Brunson, John Mullins, Tommy Jen- kins, and Leonard Tucker contributed greatly to team effort with wins for needed points in their events. Track season ended with these five com- peting in the Regional Meet. Before the Ferguson High track meet, Senior Tommy Jenkins prepares for a fast and lonesome mile run. 100 Junior pole-vaulter Edward Nuttycombe demonstrates his skill in the In the Denbigh meet. David White breezes to second ease with which he goes up to vault over the twelve foot bar. place finish in the 440, yielding to York. Ed Nuttycombe easily clears the bar at thirteen feet in the Denbigh meet to win a sure place for the Regional track meet. Preston Williams practices inside, preparing for the Indoor Meet at Frederick College. 101 Varsity Track Five Men Compete in Regional Meet in Norfolk The Regional track meet was one of our three big” meets. We placed fourth out of thirty-three schools. All five of our men that participated gather- ed vital points. Jerry Brunson placed first in the discus, Ed Nuttycombe placed second in the pole vault, Preston Williams won fourth in the 100 220 yard dashes, Leonard Tucker won fourth in the 880 and Tom Jenkins finished with fifth place in the mile. As a prelude to this meet, the District track meet was held and again all five of our men placed in their events. In the State meet, Nuttycombe made our only points with a second in the pole vault. Our chief point men throughout the season were Williams and Nuttycombe, who together averaged 30-35 points a dual meet throughout the season. After forty-three years of service to NNHS, Coach Julie Conn will be retiring at the end of this season. Coach Nuttycombe will also leave this school to take up a similar postion at a new high school. Senior Jerry Brunson, our top weightman, shows how he was able to excel in his specialty, the discus. Co-captains Tommy Barnes and Tommy Jenkins, Maurice Vidales, Robert Whitaker, John Mullins, and Jimmy King, the members of our Varsity Cross Country team, warm-up before the last of five meets. 102 Senior sprinter Preston Williams knows the importance of a fast take-off in the 1 00-yard dash as Coach Jimmy Hall practices with him. Coach Nuttycombe gives his son Edward valuable tips on how to vault with the new styled fiberglass pole. 103 Varsity Baseball Hustle, Determination Epitomize Diamond Men Newport News High ' s baseball team had a lot of returning field talent from the District Championship team last year, but a lack of pitching depth was felt. We ended the year with an impressive 10-6 over-all record and 7-4 record in district play. This standing was good for a third place finish. Hustle, determina- tion, good team spirit, and togetherness character- ized this team as well as all of our athletic teams this year. Head Coach Harlan Hott and Assistant Donnie White should be pleased with the season ' s record these young men accomplished. Our wins usually came in clusters this year. We started out looking like Typhoon teams of old as we won our first three games. After three straight losses, we bounded back with a landslide victory over Denbigh and then lost to Hampton High. Wins over Ferguson, Warwick, and Kecoughtan high- lighted the next two and a half weeks of play as we won six straight games. They say that history re- peats itself and we sure made our baseball season ' s end a repeat of football season S end, because we Coach Hott (left) and Aaron Wall (34) check out the action in lost our last two games of the season. the team ' s busy dug-out before game time.

On a close play at first base, Typhooner Eddie Castonguay barely makes it back in time to be called safe before the throw. 105 Senior first baseman Tommy Castonguay. one of the districts top batters, follows through on another one of his many hits which ended up as a double. In the above picture, senior ace Tommy Castonguay, who doubles as a pitcher, prepares to let the ball fly while below, a split second later, the ball leaves his hand and infielder Lester Wingrove (24) tensely watches the field play. 106 Head coach Hott looks determined to win as he looks on from the coaches box. Varsity Baseball Defense, Pitching, Entities Are Team’s High Points Our pitching for this season, although we lacked depth, was our team high point. The few pitchers that we had usually doubled at other positions, but they came through in rough times. Team defense made a big part of our success during the season. Our team offense should have done better than our record in- dicated. We lacked the timeing that ' s necessary to put everything together at one time and this caused us to lose a few games by one point. Outstanding individuals that deserve recognition are catcher Bob Pearce who did an outstanding job in his first year as a starter, Tom Castonguay and Bob Creekmore who were our leading batters, Phil Allen (our leading outfielder), and Steve Oliver our leading pitcher. Coaches Hott and White will be leaving next year and Coach Turner will take over. Senior shortstop Aaron Wall (34) leaps high into the air to catch the ball on an attempted pick-off play at second base with the umpire on the scene in our game against Warwick High School 107 JV members are Mike Baker, Don Thomas, Dennis Strickland, James Singleton, Floyd Melvin, John Taylor, Jerome Boyd, Coach Turner, Ken Baker (shooting), Al Askew, Karl Bethea, Spot Morgan, Rod Perry, Ken Turner, Dave Wilson, and Larry Ruffin.

They finished the season with a 14-3 over-all record, which placed them in the number two spot in the district. Pembroke was the only team that our J.V. ' s couldn ' t defeat but their valor was evident. Season highlights include double victories over schools like Warwick, James Blair, Hampton, and Carver High. A string of eight victories in a row climaxed the mid-season. This winning spirit seemed to prevail over the team. Kenny Baker and James Singleton led the scoring attack while Donald Thomas took care of the play-making chores. John Taylor, Roderick Perry, Spot Morgan, and Karl Bethea all contributed a great deal as fifth men in rounding out the team play. These hard working young men can almost be assured of a place on next year ' s varsity team. Their determination and hustle was felt throughout the whole school. This will surely be carried on to future Junior Varsity players.

Baseball and Football teams proved themselves to be among the top J.V. squads on the Peninsula. With a 4-3 record in football and an equally impressive record in baseball, these dedicated yoting men are definitely good varsity material and an asset to any team. Lack of experience on the J.V. football team was one of the factors that made the team scarce in members. Coaches Tommy Marvin and Billy Turner, under adverse conditions, did a fine job with these young men. The fans, with the Breeze Band and Flagtwirlers on special occasions, supported the team whole-heartedly throughout the season. Under Coach Billy Turner ' s fine leadership, the fifteen man J.V. team made good showing this year. Donald Thomas and Kenny Baker were among several stand-out players that aided the team in having a successful season. J.V.

Hockey Winless Team Succeeds in Teamwork, Spirit and Participation The success of the varsity hockey team did not lie in its record, for it could not muster a single win. However, it was blessed with one tie against War- wick. But in the sense of team work, enthusiasm, and participation, it was victory every game. One could actually see the amount of effort each member put in and the joy she gained. Physical injury was also given to every single member through stitches, cuts, bruises, or pulled muscles. Each girl, however, played an important role in keeping the morale of the team high. All games were played at the opposing teams ' fields and the girls traveled by cars and busses to compete with Warwick, Hampton Roads Academy, York, Ferguson, and Denbigh. The girls spent most of their hours practicing rather than playing, for they were told by their sponsors, Mrs. Masters and Miss Parker, Practice makes perfect! (But does it?) Members of the 1969-70 Varsity Hockey team were Susan Mallory, Jeannie Easmeil, Patty Barrow, Judy Rickey. Brenda Goard. Pam Adcock, Debbie Laws, Gloria Taylor and ( kneeling ) Lettie Murphy. 113 Basketball, Volleyball Sntramurals Prove Exciting Competition for All Players Different from boys ' competition, girls at Newport play for the pleasure of the game, not for the record. Therefore, hearing shrieks of excitement and joy coming from the gym is not at all unusual as the girls enjoy their fun together in competition. The varsity basketball team, coached by Misses Ann Parker and Gloria Grant, was chosen as a result of afternoon intramurals in which the ninth grade team emerged victorious defeating the seniors. Inexperience proved to be an inevitable fate as the record showed no victories for the young team. However, this did not dampen the spirit and the morale of the team as it practiced hard for the con- tests against York and Ferguson, the only outside teams with which it competed. Running, gasping, panting and batting a ball were integral parts of girls ' volleyball. Supervised by Miss Ann Parker and Mrs. Virginia Masters, each grade level was represented with a team that par- ticipated in afternoon intramurals. Juniors won out over the other four teams participating. As a result of intramural competition, five teams were picked, each representing a grade level, to compete yvith other schools by grade level teams. These teams traveled to Denbigh, York, Ferguson and Warwick to play. Fun? Yes! Donna Hudgins attempts to block as Sandra Evans goes up for a basket in a practice game. 114 Captain Lettie Murphy and teammate Sadie Jackson discuss strategy for a play against Ferguson.

Performing an arm support in a straddle position on the balance beam is advanced student Cindi Spahr. 116 Gymnastics Spahr Instructs Beginner Gymnasts in Routines Shirley Leong, performing the backward walk over, demon- strates balance and form for others on the team. Backward walk-overs, splits, cartwheels, and flips were only a few of the many stunts the girls performed in afternoon gymnastics. The girls prac- ticed several times a week to build and prepare themselves for next year ' s state meet. They did not participate this year, however, because the coaches felt the rule of having no mat under the participant was dangerous. Teaching the girls various exercises and stunts was the job of Cindi Spahr, an advanced student. Cindi has participated in gymnastics since the eighth grade, and has placed in state competition several times in past years. Outstanding in free exercise, Cindi has been asked to participate in the Junior Olympics for the summer of 1 970. The gymnastics team will be experienced and ready for competition with the best by next year. Making this year their preparatory year, Mrs. Virginia Masters feels that the girls will be more confident of their skills, and will place higher in the district and state competition.

I C T Club Barbara Miller Wyatt Sr Protects Comm Congratulating Mike Cash on his completion of five successful years of high school is Mr. Norman DeHart, Mike ' s art teacher. Mike is now an alumnus. 167 Faculty Harvey, as the patterns change, what do you see? Teachers rushing to make it before the eight-thirty bell. Keeping order in homerooms so announcements can be heard. It ' s explain the assignment, give back test papers And watch disappointed and pleased reactions of the students. Teaching, explaining, answering questions. Separating talking students, eliminating note-passing. Averaging grades and then sighing with relief. Teaching is caring, teaching is hoping. Teaching is giving to students, even when they don ' t care. It ' s sponsoring clubs and field trips. It ' s having patience and disciplining at the same time. Teaching is having an eye for order, an ear for noise, A voice for reproving and for praising. Teaching is being a politician, an Army sergeant, an orator, A diagnostician, a psychiatrist, or a friend. Oh, I see teachin ' is just lovin ' . •si, , Student Leader Harvey Anker, Faculty Speaker Miss Margaret Lane, assistant principal, smiles at a remark made by an assistant as she busily works on student records for IBM office; Miss Lane stops this type of work often to talk with students. Assistant Principal James P Wilson knows that his pipe helps him to relax when he finds time to sit down and think over the happenings of the day. 170 Principal John Caywood looks over the Virginia High School Handbook for information which he needs to make a speech. Administration Principals Handle HEW Created Tensions With Wisdom Like the tri-captains of a football team, three people led the school through the problems of the year. At times these problems were trying. The HEW court order brought tensions and upset. Selec- tion of an all-white Homecoming court caused some problems. Yet these administrators, with fairness and firmness, with concern and consideration for all, settled problems and emotions to the satis- faction of everyone concerned. Mr. Caywood was the guiding force in directing activities and finding solutions to student enigmas. Accepting the position as principal of the new Menchville High School in the city, Mr. Caywood spent his last year as administrator here. As a de- cision maker, he was pragmatic and his ability to remember even trivia was remarkable. His contri- bution of time, concern and money for school activi- ties was looked upon by all as a true expression of his caring for the students. Mr. Wilson served his second year as assistant principal. During the regular school day, Mr. Wilson would be seen about the halls, in the cafeteria, or around the building waging war on student infringe- ment of rules. Yet students knew him for his fairness and knew him to be a friend. Miss Lane was like an inter-club council all in one. She scheduled events on the calendar, cleared for field trips, helped everyone get activities and events organized and scheduled. As Dean of Girls, she was constantly handling problems of the girls, personal or collective, in a tactful manner. Mr William Lipscomb looks over the student directory as Mrs. Doris Wheeler waits for the directory to find out where the student is that she wants to blue slip . Mrs. Jewel Richmond places IBM cards of absentees in the boxes. 172 Going over bills for football equipment bought by the Athletic Department is Mrs. Jerry McCreary, bookkeeper, who shows Mr Julie Conn an error on a bill received that definitely is in his favor. Mrs. Katherine Bonnett types for Mr. Caywood an important memorandum to the teachers as Mrs. Erline Wimberly takes telephone calls on a busy day in the main office. Office Office Workers Prove to be Invaluable Assistants I couldn ' t get along without her. These words were used by Mr. Caywood to describe his secretary, Mrs. Katherine Bonnett. She has taken dictation, has typed letters, has kept files and records and has fulfilled other secretarial duties and services. Running the office machines was Mrs. Erline Wimberly, a new addition to the staff, who assisted Mrs. Bonnett. She also processed the freedom of choice forms, wrote references for students who applied for jobs, and collected report cards. Seniors can thank Miss Sweat for sending their transcripts to applied colleges. She has kept per- manent record cards up to date and served as the guidance department ' s secretary. Mr. William Lipscomb and Mrs. Doris Wheeler were in charge of the attendance office. Situated in Room 208, together they checked on students ' absences and tardiness. Mr. Lipscomb also served as coordinator for all student affairs at NNHS. Another new office addition was Mrs. Richmond who is the teacher’s aide. Her job consisted of copying material for teachers and when necessary substituting in their place, or helping out. Although she is records secretary. Miss JoAnn Sweat zeroxes any information needed by the administration. 173 Guidance Counselors Aid Students Eighth grade guidance counselor, Mrs. Clara Hines shows Bonnie Turner the results of her test scores. Happiness is getting a schedule without geom- etry, gym, physics, government, or Our guidance counselors assist students by help- ing them to select courses that are in line with their inte.asts and talents. Each student in the school has a minimum of one conference per year with the grade-level guidance counselor so that he may keep up-to-date on credits earned, basic courses needed and electives chosen. Giving DAT, SCAT. STEP, PSAT and Merit Scholarship tests is a part of the responsibility of the guidance counselors. Registering new students, working out schedules, studying records to make sure students are taking the right courses is the job of these five grade-level counselors. Making sure that transcripts are sent for seniors applying for admission to colleges, talking to college representatives, handling college board scores for seniors — these were all the responsibility of Miss Sarah Owen, senior guidance counselor and head of guidance in the school. Students who did not plan to attend college were given vocational assistance by Miss Owen, regardless of their ambitions. New to the staff this year was Mrs. Clara Hines, eighth grade counselor, coming to us from Hunting- ton High School Guidance Department. In a spare moment, Mrs Pulley fills in the percentile grid on a SCAT and STEP score sheet. Working band and chorus into a full schedule is a problem for Kathy Haynes and her counselor. Mrs. Cohn. 174 Reaching for information on the SCAT and STEP testing program is Miss Frances Maquire, eleventh grade guidance counselor. Miss Sarah Owen, senior counselor helps Jeannie Easmeil, who anticipates attending Virginia Commonwealth University in the fall. Jeannie has a question about a section in the application. 175 sr The cafeteria staff is. Row 1 Mrs Mildred Jones. Mrs Ruby Dickson. Mrs Rudisal.

Well, not having them would certainly have been a great loss for NNHS. They came early and stayed late! Mr. C. M. Spicey headed our custodial staff. Before and after school the staff could be found cleaning steps and lavoratories, blackboards, and scrubbing and waxing floors. Students can thank Mrs. Pauline Rudisal and her cafeteria staff for our delectable hot breakfasts, and hot and cold lunches. She and her staff were always willing to prepare special meals or cakes for groups in the school who wanted them at a ban- quet, tea, or party. And nobody, but nobody, made cocoanut pie like Mrs. Geraldine Peoples! I have a terrible headache. Do you have an aspirin?” Mrs. Thelma Kiser heard this and scores of other requests. Even though she did not have the authority to give medicine without parental consent, she did offer medicines for cuts and bruise s, and beds in which students may rest when ill. She also gave advice! This year Mr. William H. Walls served as the bus coordinator for NNHS. Mr. Walls was at school before the first bus arrived in the morning and after the last bus left in the evening He was a traffic cop without a uniform or a whistle, who directed all school bus traffic. Nurse Thelma Kiser prepares medication for a distressed student who complains of a sprained ankle received in gym 177 Not every teacher has such tremendous school spirit as our Mrs. Wright, dressed for a part in the Hampton Pep Assembly The Typhoons are cool, man, cool , says Mr. Cabaniss as he waits for his cue to enter for his performance.

WE’VE LAUNCHED MORE THAN 500 SHIPS. But wait ' til you see our encore. When we started out in 1886, we were just a small ship repair yard. We named the company Newport News. Because we were proud to be doing business here. Today we ' re the largest shipyard in the world. And we ' re still proud to call ourselves Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. Because a lot of the people who helped put us where we are today come from right here on the Virginia Peninsula. With their help, Newport News has become an important asset to our community, our state and our nation. Sure, launching over 500 ships in a little more than 80 years is a pretty impressive achievement. But we re not standing still for that. We ' re constantly looking to the future. And since our acquisition by Tenneco Inc. we ' ve got an even greater encore lined up for our employees and the community. NEWPORT NEWS SHIPBUILDING AND DRY DOCK COMPANY NEWPORT NEWS.
