Newton High School - Newtonian Yearbook (Newton, MA)

personified abstraction. This is his year- book, told exactly the way he sees Newton High School and the community around him, sometimes serious, sometimes satiric, sometimes joking. How do we find out what the students' opinions are about Newton High? That was our next problem. Someone logically suggested asking them, and that's exactly what we did. Each student at some time during the year probably received a ques- tionnaire. We sent them out to a sampling of the students whenever we discussed an activity. Subjects dealing with aspects of the school that were familiar to every student were discussed by a random sam- pling. Programs that only involved a por- tion of the students were discussed by those people. We used the responses to our inquiries as the basis for our remarks. Therefore, although our essays cannot possibly encompass the reactions of each student to each activity, they are a general indication of the students' responses. I have already said that the readers are the students when they get older, but that is only partially true. Ourselves as adults represent only one-fourth of the audience. We are also directing this book to the en- tire Newton community. The high school is a public institution, and it is supported by the taxes of all the people in Newton. Therefore, it is fitting and necessary that the community knows what is going on at its school. It is also fitting that it be told what is going on by those who are the most involved with the school, the stu- dents. We have the greatest stake in this school. We have invested more than our money and time in it, we have entrusted a great part of our education to its care. We are understandably concerned with how this education is turning out and we would like to share some of our conclusions with the community at large. This responsibility that we feel toward the Newton commu- nity was another factor inhuencing our decision to try to present a critical and frank view of the school. Anything less would be unfair to it. ll
