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 ,,,

Plato Adams House guards the base of Newton High's towering Acropolis-guards it so well that nobody remembers what's being kept out. At any rate, spirited Adams House is ready for all comers. Adams House showed its spirit this year in its vigorous House Council. Hard- working committees set up by the Council carried the house activities forward rapidly. The House Assembly Dates Committee planned four assemblies, includ- ing an address by Mr. Foster, last year's housemaster, and a one act play. The Con- stitutional Revision Committee carried on with the eternal task of improving the house constitution. Fund-raising ideas from the Project Committee provided financial support for the many activities. A major accomplishment of the Adams House guardians this year was the prideful redecoration of the Commons Room. Working from the ground up, under the guidance of dynamic Mr. Easson, Adams' new housemaster, they put new rugs on the floor, then turned to the walls. Giving up precious hours of Christmas vacation time, the Paint Committee put a pleasing, protective new coat of paint around the room. Where else besides Adams House does spirit run so high? emit t pm , t viii FIRST ROW: R. Stam, C. Sylvester, L. Sabatini, K. Zises, T. Mechem, Pre.tident,' B. Bullock, Vice- Preridentg L. Marcus.
