30 THE NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Four Years in High School HEN the Class of 1910 first entered High School, four years ago, there - lay before it possibilities, today it looks back on remembrances which time will only soften and endear, not obliterate. Our freshman year passed quickly, and looking back we recall 4 ' X that Newton won the championship in both football and baseball. In the class series of football games the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen after a hard game. The first outdoor track meet was held with Brook- line that year. The second year came quickly and was soon over, even before many of us realized that we had allowed golden moments to slip by. During this year Newton made a clean sweep, taking the championship in football, hockey, track, and baseball. Mr. Adams was granted a six months, leave of absence,which he spent abroad, his place being admirably filled by Mr. Davis. The first work on the Technical High School was begun in this year, and we all watched with great interest for the completion of this building. Thus our second year passed away and we returned in the autumn as upper classmen. We soon felt our class responsibility and hastened to elect ofiicers for the year. Football was then in the height of the season, and we watched the cul- mination of a successful season, in the annual Thanksgiving game with Brookline, which Newton won. This year a French Club was formed in rivalry of the German Club, which was organized the year before. Two Debating Clubs, a boys' and a girls', were organized, and proved helpful to the members who attended the meetings. Hockey and track soon began, and Newton captured the hockey title, but lost the track championship, after a hard iight, to Brookline. Baseball also went to our rivals. After graduation many of us faced the terrible ordeal of exams which were speedily followed by a much needed rest. Our last year saw the completion of the new Technical High School, and both schools commenced work on the same day. Our class was now partially divided, but only by circumstances. We elected our officers after a second attempt, and .Chauncey Doud has ably filled the position of president fto which he was chosen. The football championship came our way after a sudden brace just before the league games. Hockey candidates reported early in De- cember, and the season closed in February with the winning of the champion- ship. Soon after this the track title came to us, and now we are expectantly waiting for the baseball honors. All our organizations have been maintained and two interscholastic debates have been held. We will not attempt to enlarge on this brief chronicle of our last year, as a more detailed account may be found in another part of this book.
