“T teMtiye £%ont t e ' PxittctfcaC B 0AC11 YEAR when the “Newtonian” appears I think that even those students who cherish a bit of resentment towards William Caxton are willing to acknowledge that the art of printing is indeed a blessing. To have summed up for us the activities of the year, to see the pictures of all the familiar faces collected under one cover, to be reminded of interesting items that we are already beginning to forget, and to have our best efforts in literature and art set down in such enduring form is really a priceless thing. The editor and his assis¬ tants deserve our heartfelt thanks. They have done a fine job. We believe this little book will be a source of joy to every member of the school and that it will be appreciated by I.N.H.S. men and ' women wherever it may reach them. The 1942 issue travelled far. It has been gratifying to hear from former Newtonians that they have perused it on every front where our boys have joined the fight for freedom, aboard tossing corvettes, in the camps in Britain, and even on the sands of Africa. We hope that this issue will reach as wide a circle and bring a touch of home to many of our 600 members of the armed services. We should like them to know how much we appreciate them and that we work and pray for their safe keeping and their final return. In glancing backward across the year the celebration of our twenty-first anniversary stands out among the many activities. It was such a pleasure to have early graduates back with us and to hear that many others in the midst of successful careers have fond memories of the school that gave them their start. Altogether the reunion was a delightful occasion and I am particularly grateful to the teachers, students and friends who did so much to make it a success. The film strip “A Review of the Years,” with its chain of interesting pictures, will long be among the treasured possessions of the school. May I say to those who are going out with the class of ' 43 and to those that will remain in school that it is the spirit that “maketh alive.” Abilities without the proper spirit behind them are of little use. Whether we have many talents or few they will finally rust in uselessness unless the possessor cultivates a spirit of enthusiasm, of courage, and a sense of service. Instruction and training are largely wasted on those who lack the spirit and the will to do. Hold fast to these things. It will be your duty to bring enthusiasm and fresh courage to many tasks. Nothing will so help those who have been steadily carrying on during these dreadful years as an eagerness on the part of the younger generation to bear its full share. To these tasks the school commits you in the words of Sir Henry Newbolt; This is the word that year by year. While in her place the school is set Every one of her sons must hear. And none that hears it dares forget. This they all with a joyful mind Bear through life like a torch in flame, And falling fling to the host behind— “Play up! Play up! and play the game!”
