DEDICATION When you enter Miss Waters, classroom, you im- mediately become aware of her sparkling enthusiasm. Good morning! she exclaims, as she smiles and rushes over to provide any aid she can. In class, her energy and patience are matched only by her thoroughness in preparing her lessons. She constantly walks around the room as if her energy cannot be contained. Her pats on the shoulder and her gentle corrections encourage a student to work harder. Miss Waters is especially capable of understanding her student's problems since she too attended Newton High. She is not, however, the kind of teacher who looks back with a sigh to the good old days. Quite to the contrary, she is always searching for new and better ways to lessen the students' difficulty in learn- ing French. Miss Waters, enthusiasm does not end in her own classes but extends to her duties as assistant head of the foreign language department. If you have a prob- lem, go to room 315. Miss Waters will usher you warmly into her office for a personal discussion. Don't be surprised if the phone rings several times while you are talking, she is a very popular woman. The quality which often separates an excellent teacher from his colleagues is the amount of enthusi- asm he shows for his work. This enthusiasm is dem- onstrated by the way a teacher conducts his class, by the amount of free time he devotes to his students, and by the services he performs in addition to main- taining his regular class schedule. Miss Mary Waters and Mr. Lamoine Boyle show such outstanding en- thusiasm for their profession both in and out of the classroom. It is for this reason that we dedicate to them the 1967 NEWTONIAN. Miss Mary Waters

V, I -. 1 W, v :,.2g'1v-x x This past Winter an incident occurred which touched the hearts of many NHS students. It was the passing of Mr. Arthur Klein, a teacher par excellence. Mr. Klein was a Math teacher loved by his students because they knew that they could always count on hisfriendship. His students loved him not only because he was proficient inimathematics, but because he was also capable of transmitting his prodigious knowledge to them. I The love of his students was beautifully expressed by the editor of the Newtonite, and we at Newtonian would like to preserve his eulogy in the 1967 yearbook. p When you have the same teacher for the same suh- ject in the same room H1022 for two and a half years, you develop either an intense dislike for him or an equally deep respect. I don't know anyone in my math class who disliked Mr. Klein, and we were his students since we entered Newton High School in 1964. How could you not like the man? Mr. Klein was probably the only person I have ever known who could get mad with a smile. Not that he got mad very often. He didn't have to. Mr. Klein was a master of the rare art of friendliness. He usually managed to inject just the right amount of humor-his own personal and often corny hrand-into a class. and he was always receptive to questions from the floor. Perhaps the one attrihute of Mr. Klein which en- deared him to us more than anything else was his im- perfection. He was forever reminding us that he was capahleof making mistakes and that we should not hesitate to correct him if he did, In fact, when someone would ask him to do a home work prohlem from the night hefore, Mr. Klein would refuse to answer him unless the request were phrased, Would you try to do numher . . 2 The one mistake Mr. Klein never did make was to place himself ahove his students. With him, learning was a partnership. A I g Last Monday my math class met in a different room for the hrst time in three years. I'rn glad the school didn't have us meet in II02. It would haveseemed so empty. . . . '-.a. -C lflslmlve' -f...i. , ., ,.. .az-I W, ...M was .,.,,,. H-gf,-.-is eg hcgnig- Q, X . .4 -.3s,-wat. .M-,. ,, Uma. we N-Fw :QQ .tr .-v va.-

gr n Mr. Lamoine Boyle V W nr. ,,, 17 J I i ill'-f'- ' Even after thirty years at Newton High, Mr. Boyle is still one of the most lively and enthusiastic teachers in the school. Whether in his role as English teacher, Assistant Housemaster of Riley House, Coach, or just plain friend, he displays the type of spirit that immediately makes him stand out as an exceptional man. Mr. Boyle is by no means either an easy teacher or an easy coach. He maintains just the right amount of control and discipline to make the students both re- spect and admire him. He brings a rich background of teaching experience to his classroom and, there- fore, is able to understand the many types of prob- lems presented by his students. For his job as coach, Mr. Boyle draws from his own experience as a two- time olympic qualifier and as an honored member of the University of Pennsylvania Hall of Fame. As As- sistant Housemaster of Riley House, Mr. Boyle per- forms his job with understanding and always manages to deal justly with the students. Mr. Boyle will be very much a part of the future of NHS. Having taught in both Newton High and Tech High, he will be very valuable in helping with the upcoming merger of these two systems. W., -..X V'
