Richard W. Mechem Principal of Newton High School The theme of rededication is singularly appropriate. In our era of tech- nology and bigness it is more important than ever before that we fight to retain the value of the individual. This fight calls for a rededication to the ideals of equality, independence, and individuality which have given such vitality to our democratic way of life. May those of you who are leaving Newton High School in 1962 take aj vantage of, and further develop, our scientific civilization. In doing so, how- ever, do not forget that far more important than civilization and progress is rhe integrity of the individual man. Rickard W. Mechem 10

ART DEPARTMENT 1'5- Mr. Schultz, Mr. Nelson, Miss Eliot. Ky The world war always changing, it will fzlwtzyr be clmngingg and who could know that better than the artirt? Americans have always felt a strong pride in their indigenous work of art. Perhaps our first piece of art as an independent nation was the flag. Artistic originality has since characterized national growth. The addition of new states neces- sitated new designs for our flag. Western expan- sion prompted artists such as Remington. Portrait artists found inspiring subjects everywhere. The twentieth century with its rapid commercial de- velopment has opened new areas of advertising art. The Newton High Art Department prepares the student to contribute to our national heritage of art. The art majors are introduced to all facets of the field, painting, drawing, sculpture, and pho- tography. Mr. Shultz reports that the class of 1962 has many talented students. A large number of the class have been accepted at the country's better art schools. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT The bztrinerr of America if brt5ine.f5. Calvin Coolidge The enterprising Yankee pedlar, New York shipper, Pennsylvania steel baron, Northwest rail- road magnate, Wall Street giant, and Western gen- eral-storekeeper are all fabled parts of American tradition. Business has changed since Coolidge's Presi- dency. There is a new attitude toward the worker and consumer. The mimeograph machine, electric typewriter, address-o-graph, and IBM unit, having made business more efficient, have also necessitated a generation of push-button geniuses. Newton High Schools Bus-ness Department taught 1006 of us typewriting clerical, and other business skills this year. It help 4 :idents to develop pow- ers of concentration and effit vncy, and, in doing this, helped to fill future personnel needs.
