In my father’s attic I found an old copy of the “Counselor,” the blue handbook that all NNHS eighth graders received in Guidance Class. I copied some of the cheers that I remember so fondly to send to you. Perhaps you already have these for the website, but in case you don’t, here they are. I sent the copy of the Counselor to the NNHS “archivist,” Fred Mays ('60 - of VA).
Here are the cheers I copied from the Counselor. These were the cheers that
we used when I was a student at NNHS 1954-1959. |

Strawberry shortcake, Huckleberry pie. V-I-C-T-O-R-Y Are we in it? Well, I guess! Newport News High School Yes, yes, yes!
Jump on the bandstand, Ice cream soda, What us go? |
Beat me, daddy, eight to the bar, Maury High ain’t going very far. Scrub me, mamma, with a boogie beat, Come on Newport, Turn on the heat! How do you like your
oysters? The team is in a huddle;
You’ve got to click your
heels, |

Be True to Your School
(Beach Boys)
When some loud
braggart tries to put me down
And says his school is great
I tell him right away
Now what’s the matter buddy
Ain’t you heard of my school
It’s number one in the state
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school
I got a letterman’s sweater
With a letter in front
I got for footbal and track
I’m proud to where it now
When I cruise around
The other parts of the town
I got a decal in back
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school
On Friday we’ll be jacked up on the football game
And I’ll be ready to fight
We’re gonna smash ’em now
My girl will be working on her pom-poms now
And she’ll be yelling tonight
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school
Rah rah rah be true to your school
Rah rah rah be true to your school
Rah rah rah be true to your school
Rah rah rah be true to your school
