WM, MISS SUSAN PARKER The mixture which is not well shaken afecompores . . . The moulding of a class is begun in Sophomore September when the ingredients are all dumped into the cauldron of NHS, where they swirl blindly until Sophomore june. Then, in the heat of Sophomore Summer, the mixture starts to settle and thicken. By Junior September the critical stage has begun: the settling may bring on stagnation and ultimately, decomposition unless . . . Unless, of course, it's shaken and shaken good and hard by its class committee. And that, precisely, 16 Heraclitus is what Dave Bliss and his team have done to the class of 1964. Not satisfied with the traditional Jun- ior Prom, the choosing of a class ring, and the heroic junior Workday effort in sub-freezing weather, the class committee pushed hard working out a novel idea: an Activity Week for juniors with something happening everyday and special events planned for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. All the better to keep the Junior Class from any complacent settling to the bottom.

Fleishman S0plJo.t - wise moror - dull, stupid. Any Greek Dictionary Sophomore, the English combination of these two Greek words, seems to describe accurately the 10th grader entering' Newton High: NHS is too bewildering for any newcomer not to feel the am- biguities of a sophomore. This year the 10th grade Class Committee underwent changes designed to eliminate the sophomore feeling sooner by giving more people a chance to take part in the class gov- ernment and not electing officers until the students knew who was who. The Sophomore Class Com- mittee consisted of two representatives from each homeroom and meetings were conducted by differ- ent chairmen selected from the committee several times a year, so that before the May elections, stud- ents had seen different leaders in action. Class activities expanded to a new area: lectures given by students and professional men were intro- duced for groups of fifty to seventy-five students. The Sophomore Class also held a successful dance and took part in a community service project. We would say that there is considerably more Sophos than moros in this year's Sophomore Class. -I-I-3300 l'l'lI'l'I ,,,
