SENIOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Y -11 ,-.-.-.Q I-IISTGIQV CDF Tl-IE SENICDI2 CLASS ITI-I sincere regret we ofthe class oF nineteen thirty-six conclude these three short years at Newton I-ligh School, years rich in happy associations and splendid achievement. We are justly proud oF our past, For it has been a most outstanding one. Our entrance in nineteen thirty-three was accompanied by the usual confusion, embarrassment, and wonder. I-lowever, we did not remain long in this dazed state. Prominent names and Faces began to arise From the struggling mass, and some oF these we elected to guide us. Roy Merchant was chosen president, William Diman, vice- president, Clara Schwab, secretary, and Barbara Emig, treasurer. At our First class dance we were given a Fine opportunity For malcing new acquaintances and renewing old Friendships. It was a great aFFair. Late in January came our annual Prize-Speaking Contest, in which I-lelen Eyre and William Abrahams were declared the victors. The Neophyte play, starring Albert Thomas, concluded the year's social activities. Spring Found us loolcing forward with mingled gloom and joy, Fearful oF approaching exams but eager to become Juniors. Junior elections were held with the following results: Norman Whitney, president, William Daniels, vice-president, Clara Schwab, secretary, and Barbara Emig, treasurer. In this second year we accepted our heavier programs with philosophic cheerfulness and began at once to talce a prominent part in school aFFairs. For the First time since its Founding, The Newtonite had as its editor-in-chiel, a Junior, John Tomb. Much oF the paper's staFF also was composed oF Juniors. Another oF our classmates, George Kenngott, played the title role in the annual Drama Club production, Monsieur Beaucairef' Other Juniors were among the capable cast. On the Field and in the gym we were equally outstanding. In the realm oF masculine sports the Junior Class was most creditably represented, and our Feminine contingent walked ol-F with the Girls' Gym Meet. filliell
