Uw to (orth t ’ Life at Newton Catholic may be compared to the life of a circus--an atmosphere abundant in joy and laugh- ter. We acknowledge that a true circus is comprised not only of good times but an equal balance of serious times, touching us through both life and death. These times were spent with people who were close to us. These special groups of people are highlighted by three rings. You will meet our Magicians, Joeys and Firsts of May. The drum- mers will announce our Menagerie, Rope Learners and Acrobats. Each one had his own act to contribute to the making of our own spectacular show! Learning The Ropes We learn to do so many different things, in many different ways. We learn: to speak foreign languages, to figure out problems, to take shorthand, to read Macbeth. Along with all of these things we also learn: to laugh, to cry, to accept responsibility, to be free. But most of all, we learn to be ourselves. A N AS yf SON . Sao EE, st ALL THE WORLD'S In fair Newton, where we lay our scene Lovely maiden Gail doth sit and dream, Not about Romeo, as it may seem But about Antigone, Macbeth and rhyme schemes. Wise and noble Prince Escalus, Dave, Warneth with his mighty words to keep peace, But fiery Tybalt-like, Louis, Planneth how to make conflicts increase. Like a wise Friar, Lenny telleth maidens Carol and Kathy, with words that never end, All students do not fight like Montagues, Or like Capulets, but play and work like friends. REACHING OUT-- to God and to each other; this is religion at Newton Catholic. Appreciation of one another, recognition of our uniqueness and beauty, and a grow- ing under- standing of Jesus Christ, help us to be viable Christians concerned about God and man. Taking care of business is a task everyone encounters sooner or later and the Newton Catholic business girls will beready. Through continuous practice, they have perfected their typing andsteno- graphy skills. But even more im- portant than their skills in office procedures, they have learned how to respond professionally through on the job situations. These in- clude such experiences as pre- paring school documents and being Secretary of the Day. This quality which these girls have attained, will enable them to function successfully in the business world.

Through calculation and experimentation, we perfected our acts. However, cold facts and numbérs never completely took over; there was always a human side to add a little pizzaz.

With the magic of their kindness and concern, they showed us a part of ourselves that we'd never glimpsed before. These magicains helped us to open our eyes to the wonders of the world. Through their crystal ball of love, we saw the magic of living awaiting us Fal -¥- (0 MASTER MAGICIANS 12 SUPPORTING PERSONNEL Oe head The present success of the Newton Catholic School System is due to the untiring efforts of many individuals in Our Lady and Sacred Heart Parishes. Monsignors John McManmon and William Granville, pledging their encouragement and support, work closely with the School Board. Of special note is the Scholarship Committee which makes available monies for deserving students. The amazing energy of Ron Palky and Leo Waters has given new life to the P.T.A.. Under their leadership a School Directory has been published andthe First Annual Guil-Bola raised a significant amount of money. The cafeteria under- went a management change this year. Through the efforts of Jan Wallace and her staff we can enjoy a nutritional meal with a gourmet touch. Each week, Mary Maguire, Gloria ; Olivo and Patricia Donellan spend hours We would like to thank all these people utilizing their skills for the benefit of the 1001, for their vigorous support of Newton Catholic. school.

When we arrived in the fall of 1971, so did Sister Anna Vincent Clark. Sarge accepted the position as principal not as a job but as her life. Her dedication and perseverance became evident immediately as the school began to undergo a steady stream of changes making life at Newton Catholic more meaningful. The confident character and optimistic outlook of S. Anna Vincent enabled her to readily accept the chal- lenges that confronted her. Her main challenge was to help us understand who we are and what we want from life--a very difficult task. Through listening, advising, disciplining and congratulating, Sarge has given us a sense of pride and responsibilitv. Always being there, sometimes when we didn't want her, Sarge became for us an example of a thoroughly good human being; an example that we really need as we begin to plan our own life styles. So to Sarge, with whom we have shared many laughs as well as many tears, we would like to say thank you. We'll always re- member you.

Lively, interesting, captivating, funny, anc sometimes downright boring, the acts per- formed by our magi- cains are only 99 1 2% perfect. This near per- fection must stem from their colorful per- sonalities. To clue you in on some of their tricks, we have com- posed the following color-personality in- dicator: Red reveals an active person. They have strong leader- ship qualities and an expansive personality. The red person tends to be impulsive. Red was a favorite of John DesLoges (19) and S., Alice Brown (22) The blue person is an idealist. Many ideas and projects are initiated by our blue faculty. These creative people are Lee Thomas (2), Dave Daviau (5), S. Elizabeth Therese Martin (6), S. Gratia Maloney (7), Irene Thomas (8), S. Mary Murphy (9), S. Elenor Keane (10), Josephine Pepper (11), S. Cor- ona Degnan (12), S. Julia Fitzpatrick (13), Joseph Greeley (15), S. Mary Malone (16), Lois Ann Walsh (20), Mary Hulette (22). Green shows ahigh degree of awareness and aggressive tend- encies in a personal- ity. These people show a genuine concern for the welfare of others and involve them- selves in civic minded projects. This isa perfect description for S. Kathy Moran (4), and Fr. Leroy Owens. Yellow indicates a relaxed positive person who rarely worries. New things and new ideas appeal to this type. Yell ow also represents a cheerful, lighthearted person. This is a good clue to Beatriz Mir- anda (18), and S. Bernadette Galla- gher (3). The color orange shows that a person is optimistic, has strong values, is sensi- ble and dependable. me Ras HG . 18 Lee? AER 4 ¢ dhe. ON AAA AAEM KKAARE MER eheaiene Rg What more perfect description could we find for Fr. Bob Con- nors (14). The pink person is a gentle person, some- times shy, sentimen- tal, creative, fond of people and social gatherings. Jean Mos- chella (23) is our pink person. Purple, a dom- inant color, conveys a quiet relaxed per- sonality, a kind and fair person, who pre- fers discipline to dis- order. Marion Apple- quist (17), is a per- fect example. No circus today is complete without a visit to the side shows! Here's where all the wonders are performed. The ever-changing moods and scenes of the times are the starting points for many creative adventures. Talented people are becoming involved in every day spectacles from skating parties to lightbulb drives. The time we spend working pays off enormously for we love to exhibit our accomplishments.

Guy Garon and Josten's American Yearbook Company have provided us with their techniques and yearbook expertise. Purdy Studios supplied us with the thousands of pictures needed to make our yearbook a success. Also lending a helping hand with photo- graphy were Paul Terry and Craig Sampson. A special thanks goes to Irene Thomas for sharing her creativity and literary talents with us and to Ed Caliguri without whose photo- graphy and developing the show would not have gone on.

That's what it is, Sports! At Newton Catholic that word means com- petition, cooperation, fighting to win, but most of all, it means making things happen. People in this school get together, work faithfu lly, trust each other, and help one another, and that's what makes it click. The enjoyment that fans receive from giving their support to the Lancers is un- explainably and unforgettably fantastic, and that's what it is all about. There is a brisk wind whipping down onanempty field. Slowly they begin to arrive in the hope of a victory for their school. These are the Newton Catholic fans: dedicated, spirited, enthusiastic sup- porters of the Lancerteam. Throughout every game they share the thrills and disap- pointments with their boys on the field and boost the morale of eachteam mem- ber. Being understanding, easy to talk to, and willing to help, are just a few of the outstanding qualities of Joe Dillon, the football coach of Newton Catholic. In his quiet manner he made strong demands on his team. This, together with the knowledge that Coach Dillon always stood by his team, enabled them to give their best performances at every game. Along with Joe, Steve Farina and Bruce Carmichael shared their football abilities and knowledge and contributed inspiration to the team. These men created a winning atitude all the way.

Mi sro ce semen CHAMPIONS! For the first time in five years we made it to the top. Not only did we finish with a trophy, but with a great sense of accomplishment and pride. The road to victory was made possible by team cooperation and determination. Capt. Claire Cox, Coach Shirley Leger and S. Kathy Moran provided us with the spirit that was needed to make us hustle and strive for a victorious season. And guess what! WE DID IT! FIRSTS OF MAT) Circus professionals call a new performer a First-of-May. Like all new performers, the underclass- men are ambitious, anxious, gul- lible, and spirited. Indespensible to life in aeneral and especially to school, they provide us with an impetus to live up to their expectations. The life of an underclassman is one of new beginnings, growth and testing. It is a fantastic time! As their third year at Newton Catholic ends, all of the Juniors are beginning to think seriously about their future plans. The roads they will travel will be dependent upon the decisions they are starting to make now. Whether their plans include school, work, or both, they will remem- ber how their Junior year was a prepara- tion filled with the trials of S.A.T.'s the excitement of their Prom and getting class rings; and the cooperation of each individual to give this class its dynamic spirit! Together, the Juniors strive to make their class unique. In their every attempt they are trying to de- velop a strong sense of individual spirit to display throughout the entire school. When they are working, either together or alone, you definitely know that the Juniors have some- thing that no other class has. ee eae Pe es gent Belonging, but not quite belonging, is the plight of the Sophomore. In an effort to be rec- ognized, they strive to excell in school spirit Their numbers are out- standing at football games and light bulb drives. Through this enthusiasm, they have become a cor- nerstone of Newton Catho- lic High. on ma en = a = =a aa S Se 7S 4 � ® . e 3 66 67 THE IFS OF A FRESHMAN If Iam myself, will I be accepted?

The last act pulls the show together; it is an integral part of the circus, like the corner stone of a building, or the smallest detail in Dawn Janjigian’s artwork, or the supplement of a yearbook. The supplement contains those special moments which make every senior stop and think “This is it, the end.” Springtime brings softball and baseball and the anxiously awaited school play. Days pass quickly this time of year and it is soon prom night with just a matter of moments until graduation. So look at the supplement, think back at how magical it all was, and then move on. . When the Lancer softball team took to the field, they were a young, inexperienced club. Coach S. Kathy Moran and Irene and Lee Thomas, helped to develop the team’s strength by finding and working with each girl’s individual talent. Finishing the season with a 3-9 record, the girl’s experience and team pride should ensure a winning ‘76 season. Led by All Catholic, Rick Paglia, the Lancer baseball club was highly competitive, and displayed great promise all season. The young ball club found itself involved in close games, with lack of experience their only drawback. The 5-12 record does not testify to the hard work and determination that the team and coaches, Chuck Enos and John DesLoges, displayed during the entire season. ae er i Bi - - Ze a | Standing (L to R): Asst.

The play took the total cooperation of everyone involved, from the office girls and the mail clerks to the President of World Wide Wicket and the Chairman of the Board. We saw life as it exists in a large company office building. Conflicts became evident as early as scene one, with the announcement of “no coffee.” We watched as Finch connived his way to the top of the company while Rosemary found her way into his heart. Tense situations captivated the audience especially when fifteen girls came to the company party wearing fifteen not-so-original Paris Originals. In time these difficulties were overcome: Rosemary found a husband, Finch secured his job and the W.W.W. Company was in business again. ‘e - ae (esi toe LES May 8, Somerset — SS a aa Cer ee YY yyy Wisi, oe : MMAR + SRW fe Z wore. hats tre : ; : oa eI ee ate aa Sine She. te ee : 2 ar cine he asf pip ipetar falta 4 Pes aiaceatay tae abs Beers Sa pean esa asia rae aan alia ea Sa YY LIL Adin yey an eae : Sail ake cae hers - et: pore cer ren ayaa ay Ne Picea nea we nay pate anne) f «a - os on oe Cope re ha} Care en a ROT ata ee wene hs acer ece AA Gand Sat Pige ore pee 0 oy, ae eee ee tig ee ; BR AS Ee fe eeeage a i is ie as ms CAO nett eettePetstntatelntely oe reese peo SSCA Ca pe ve Be pie pers es , i: siitgahnientninpaautira Cir SB is 4 Be ein ee es fae bse oe ee is Hee sei i ee ere ze ered ee eS = 3 Mh ut i es ENE ue ya , Me ati tabs rah i Rk, a Mh i . it Ota if if A ye Pipa ae Be a ie ty : ‘ saath Me) i ha Beh oh pee f aia due ; Cue AN ts yataat: a 4 My on ii oN ea ei nt pth
