Mr. Hayes Given Dedication For Interest in Student Body “Where The Action Is” was a meaningful, yet fun- filling way of describing the life of Warwick High School. While each of us, the students, was encom- passed by this way of life, there was a devoted mem- ber of the faculty who remained at the heart of the many activities at Warwick. This person, who has a life centered around Warwick, was devoted in many ways — first, as a history and government teacher, in- stilling his students with a knowledge of the past, second, as a faithful supporter, collecting tickets at both football and basketball games, while silently watching the makings of victory and defeat. This sincere person was admired and trusted by all who knew and worked with him. When he was either leading a class discussion or conversing at any of the school games, his character was known by the spirit he showed. He was always willing to give his side of an argu- ment and listen to a student’s pet peeve. Warwick’s action vibrated around him. It is because of his devotion to our school and his faithful support that the annual staff proudly dedicates the 1967 Warwick to Mr. William P. Hayes. 14

Principals Advise and Lead The 9+udents and Teachers This year Warwick greeted a familiar face in a new position. Mr. James Starboard, Jr. returned to War- wick last August as its new administration head. Al- though he was graduated from Newport News High School, he became a full fledged Farmer in our first pep assembly. Having taught at Warwick several years ago, Mr. Starboard foimd the fast-paced life here not entirely new, but through a new light. Mr. Starboard replaced Mr. John M. Caywood, our principal of two years; but his “principality” at Warwick was his second such position. He had also taugh t at South Morrison Elementary and w r as principal there for two years before coming to Warwick. Assisting the new principal were Mr. William Formichelli and Miss Ellena Armistead, formerly a teacher at Newport News High School. Mr. Formichelli had been at Warwick for many years, while Miss Armistead com- pleted her second year. With their experience, Mr. Starboard was able to resolve the many anxieties of students and to quickly establish a pleasant atmos- phere of congeniality between students and faculty. Action, by both the students and the principals, was Warwick’s key to success. above: Mr. Formichelli, assistant principal, gives his attention to an office problem. below: The latest student report seems to be extremely pleasing to Miss Armistead. outside: Mr. Starboard reflects the enthusiasm that has made him very popular in his first year at Warwick.
