"The 1961 Football season
marked the opening year of Charles Nuttycomb's tenure as head coach.
Despite the mediocre won-lost record, Nuttycomb directed the team to a
successful season, highlighted by a victory over arch-rival Hampton on
Thanksgiving Day. The team was a young team, and the players
should be commended for their fine spirit and good sportsmanship."

Shalimar
Introduced in 1925 by
Guerlain, Shalimar was inspired by the love story of the Emperor of
India that built the Taj-Mahal and also the gardens of Shalimar, a
Sanskrit word meaning 'abode of love'. It is the fragrance of
eternal romance and was designed for the woman who is sensual,
sophisticated, and uninhibited.
This intoxicating oriental has notes of bergamot, lemon,
hesperides, jasmine, iris, rose, patchouli, vetiver, vanilla,
incense, opopanax, sandalwood, musk, civet, ambergris, and leather.

Basketball Games &
The Big State Tournament |
HARDWOOD LEDGER
"This year
Newport News was more than proud of its All-Peninsula Basketball champs,
who were coached by Warren Mitchell.
"Although the
typhoons only took fourth place in the Eastern District Tournament, they
reigned as the number one team on defense. Because of the typhoons
exceptional defense, Chris Ellis was placed on the All-Peninsula Team
and All-Eastern District Tournament Team. Also Jimmy Walker was
selected to the second team of the All-Eastern District |
"Also this
year the team was able to uphold the old Typhoon tradition of defeating
all opponents on their home court. This year the Gold and Blue
only experienced two losses in the regular season to Cradock and Warwick
"Four seniors,
Bill Bryant, Steve Corum, Jimmy Walker, John Carleton, and sophomore
Chris Ellis made up the starting five for the '62 basketball season.
These boys, plus the boys on the bench, who were always ready to give
their help when needed, and the managers and coach should be
congratulated on their fine sportsmanship and fighting spirit"

Within these sacred walls we stand,
To praise thine honored name,
We sing to thee, dear Newport High,
Thy glories we proclaim.
Chorus:
Hail, hail to the Gold and Blue,
We raise thy banners high,
And ever through thine endless days,
In triumph, may they fly.
O Alma Mater, in our hearts,
We'll often turn to thee,
And echo once again the songs
Of thy dear memory.
