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

-------------------------------------------------T H E A U R 0 R A-------------------------------------- Sophomore Class History V is 1 l The Sophomore 'Class began its history, H October 6, 1924, when it was organized into the ,l class of 27. Officers were elected. At a later 'l meeting class colors and a motto were selected. fy But this large group of green freshmen was not f' officially a part of N. H. S. until it was duly 1' christened by the Seniors at a reception given by ll them on November 1. After becoming a part of lg N. H. S., we settled down and worked and work- H ed and now we are Sophomores, those follyirre- in pressible Sophomores. We began our new life by 5 electing officers. L, This has certainly been a busy year for us. ,, We enjoyed a sleigh-ride party chaperoned by in Mr. Klose, this winter, and had planned a skat- L ing party which proved unsuccessful due to the 1 lack of ice. You will agree that this was a legiti- l mate excuse. We have been very active along the athletic U l l Lilijlillillill!101-lllll1ll1lllilllllillillilhlhllilli li!!!-Cl!!-III Pug e-12 '27 lines. The Class basketball teams have shown the upper classes that there is some good mater- ial for the Varsity in the future. The boys' team had for its captain Hampton Byram, and the girls' chose for their captain, Elsa Scharff. We were represented on the gridiron by Kasisky at full-back and Byram at tackle. Our class displayed endless spirit in sending tokens of remembrance at Christmas time to two of our classmates who were convalescing in the hospital. Much to our sorrow one of our classmates died during this year. The class sent a floral tribute and it was officially represented at the funeral services. OFFICERS.
