We were then iust a large body of green freshmen, but determined to enter all the activities and make good. We were welcomed by the Seniors, in the usual way, with a reception and initiations. After this our awkwardness disappeared and we felt a part of this institution. We held our first class meeting, chose our colors, officers, and motto: Carpe Diem CSeize the opportunity.J Our freshman year was uneventful, due to the fact that we were just the younger genera- tion of the high school and our upper classmen set examples that we Freshmen were ashamed to follow. fThat's when we were young.l We entered our Sophomore year, leaving all our childish habits and thoughts behind, and cone fident that we would live up to our reputation of the Wise Sophomore. We were all represented in football, basketball, baseball and track, also in all the social activities of the school. Our Junior year, also, was more than suc- cessful. The boys won the cup in basketball and the girls won two of the games out of the series, losing the third by two points. On the gridiron, also, our class made a fine showing, placing six men on the eleven. During the latter part of the year we gave the Seniors their farewell reception. Now we are living up to our reputation of Dignified Seniors. Our football and basketball stars shone on the field and in the court. Our girls won the basketball cup, and our boys helped the football team thru the most suc- cessful season since 1916. The debating team was composed of all Seniors, who were successful on the platform. Our class was presented with an American flag donated by the Lieut. Charles A. Meyer Post of the American Legion. We are now busily engaged in the last few months of work and fun together in Newton High. As we end our high school career, a feeling of sadness creeps over us and We shall all look back upon the four years spent here as the hap- piest ones of our life. 11.41.111...-..1.n1.u1uu1.n1q.1u 1 1 1 1 .., 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1..--. -.u1...14-..g.1..1p.1p.1..1gp1g.1..1uv1. 151210 14 4.1.
