Another Junior triumph was recorded in the outcome of the English Club's poetry contest. This Wondrous World, Eleanor Ainslie's poem on the beauties of nature, was awarded First place. The Feminine Follies, our social event par excellence, was enjoyed by members of all classes and its financial outcome proved most gratifying. This last year has undoubtedly been the best. Our class officers were Roy Merchant, president, William Diman, first vice-president, Peter Donavan, second vice-president, Clara Schwab, secretary, and Norma Skelton, treasurer. Norman Whitney was elected president of the Newton High School Associates, Peter Donavan, clerk, and Chester Newey, treasurer. Trelawney of the Wells, our Senior play, was presented in January with Maybeth Gibson, Marvin Perry, and George Kenngott in the leading roles. Thanks to the capable coaching of Miss Haworth and wholehearted effort of the entire cast, it proved a finished and delightful production. Our athletic teams this year made creditable showings in practically every department. Good sportsmanship and co-operative teamwork were always in evidence among the boys and girls alike. Llnquestionably, credit for the season's premier performance must go to the boys'.track team. Under the able tutelage of Coach Don Enoch and the brilliant leadership of Co-captains Wittens and Huling, the squad won every major meet and, in conse- quence, the State Championship. With such a record it is no wonder that ours is regarded as the outstanding school-boy track team of New England. ln literary fields our efforts were widespread and results extremely satisfactory. The Newtonite, with John Tomb as editor, again enjoyed a successful year and rendered great service in recording and announcing school events. The annual English Club Prize-Speaking Contest and accompanying play were well done and proved most enjoyable. Louette Glaser and Robert Nolan, a junior, emerged victorious in the former, while Betty Tobey and Marvin Perry shared honors in the latter. ln early March, the Drama Club, under the guidance of Miss Wetherbee, presented that engaging comedy, Merton of the Movies. George Jamison, as Merton, created a truly appealing character, remarkable in simple humor and pathetic sincerity. Clare Holman was an excellent lead. Senior Night, a most successful innovation this year, was the last of our dramatic triumphs, and the social season was most fittingly closed by the long-awaited Senior Prom. Our chapter of the National Honor Society has done splendid work throughout the entire three years. How- ever, the aims and ideals of this organization have been particularly close to us in the last two years, when a distinguished few of our classmates have composed its membership. No record of our achievements as a class can be complete without some expression of gratitude to our teach- ers, advisers, and principal. Aside from actual scholastic training, their guidance and helpfulness outside the classroom have been of inestimable value to us all. We-shall not soon forget it. In these past three years the Class of Nineteen Thirty-six has indeed made history. May we continue to do so in the years to come. Sixteen
