Newtown Celebrates ts 275th Anniversar As we think of our theme of the old and the new, we cannot help but notice historic New- town and realize what a fertile place it is for elaborating on this subject. In 1683, it was founded and was given its name by William Penn. As we can also see from the landmark, it was the county seat of Bucks County for 88 years preceding the time that Doylestown has served as county seat. We are fortunate to be living in such a historically important part of our country and state, and are proud to be the hosts to people from all over the United States who come to visit New- town and its famous landmarks. This year marks its 275th anniversary. As we look back and realize what great changes have taken place since its founding, we also look forward to the new, the future, and wonder what further changes may come and replace the things that now are. May we, who live now in the present, leave as great and fine a record as have those before us, so that those who follow may look back with pride and satisfaction, even as we are able to do now.

Even as we have seen changes in the school huilding and school systems. so we can also see great changes in the field of teaching. Instead of the stern. rigid school- master of yesterday, we find the friendly teacher of today. Then. there was no help offered those wishing further education: now, there is a guidance department with experienced advice and help for all who desire it. Through the years the relation- ship of pupil and teacher has hecome more friendly and personal. ive also find that instead of the lessons heing taught to suit the pace of those who could grasp the ma- terial quickly, there is the improved sys- tem of dividing classes according: to abil- ity. These and other changes make ours a rich heritage and we owe much to these. our teachers and administrators.
