1:11-11--1 Cl? rin Mr. Abner H. Bailey The smiling face of Mr. Abner Bailey is well known at Newton High School. Whether he is teaching math or coaching the cross-country team, his systematic teach- ing method and jovial sense of humor C which can provide a gentle rib of any- thing from authors of math books to the workings of the school departmentb have won him the respect of students, parents, and faculty. DEDICATION The proprietor of the little two-chair barber shop around the corner doesn't owe his success to the fifty-two barbers who have worked for him and quit during the past ten years. Nor have transient educators built and maintained the tradition of Newton High School. Someone has said that experience is the best teacher. He should also have said that the best teacher is experienced. Teachers have come to Newton High School and left after a year or two. But they will not be remembered. The teachers who leave a permanent impression are those who stay for a while. ' I' It is fitting, therefore, that the Newtonian should express the gratitude of school and community to those teachers whose constancy of purpose has kept them at Newton High School for many years. It is these people who have made Newton High School the outstanding place of learning that it is. The teachers and administrators pictures on these four pages are those who have been at Newton High School for over twenty years. Many more pages would be necessary to recognize all those who have been here for five, ten, or fifteen years. The teachers pictured are: Mr. Abner H. Bailey .... ....... M atbenzatict Mr. Lamoine E.
