The Newton High School is an institution of which the citizens of this vicinity may well feel proud. With an enrollment of 400 students, ap- proximately half of whom are from out of town, the system, from both an educational and an athletic standpoint, is gaining state recognition. In the building there are 17 class rooms, a gymnasium, an auditorium with a seating capa- city of 700, a fully equipped lunch-room and de- partments of agriculture, are, manual training, domestic science and music. In addition to this there are the administration offices and the trophy room. The lunch room, the newest innovation, is very popular with the student body and faculty, and the culinary department serves an average of 180 each day. The food is attractively prepared and the prices are reasonable. Financially it is self- supporting. During the year the Board of Education made an appropriation for the Department of Physical Education and the directors purchased parallel I nge 40 I.-.ungan-lu.-.pl-..u1qu1un1g1lu1.n-n1u Axis.-galil-ln1n1a:vx:1:i: bars, ladders, a buck, a horizontal bar and a piano. With this added equipment the depart- ment has been enabled to give more thorough training. Through the co-operation of the Parent- Teachers' Association the Board of Education has employed a school nurse and her work has been very satisfactory. The number of cases of disease has been minimized and the general con- dition of the individual is watched closely. This work is carried on in conjunction with the work of the Medical Inspector. The chapel exercises are part of each day's program and a period is devoted to it at the be- ginning of the morning session. After the de- votionals are conducted, the various school activi- ties are discussed and a school spirit is developed. The school has had several prominent visitors during the year and many of them gave helpful talks to the assemblage. Opportunity is given for expressions of encouragement for the differ- ent teams and the student looks upon this as one of the most important features of the school day. :xx
