Jack Phillips Was the only candidate. Beside taking care of the routine activities of the school in general, the council, for the first time in several years, set up a schedule of assemblies. The assemblies along with the school dances were the two ,main considerations of this year's student governing body. With the help of his committee, Chairman Lee Reiff took on the responsibilities of assemblies, and, according to student opinion, the new program was enthusiastically received. . ' School dances, which are fast becom- ing an integral part of school life, were introduced through the council in the year 1942-43. Since that time an average of six dances have been given every year. The Roundhouse, local jive dive, is usual- ly the scene of these festivities. Dorothy Jane Trousdale acted as chairman of this committee. Student council members: Back row: Gordon Byler,4Wesley Harms, Stein Phillips, Marshall Schirer and Joyce Goering.

,ff Senior Class of 1946 The class of '46, the smallest class to be graduated from Newton high school in more than a decade, began their high school career in high- er learning as freshmen numbering 247. Unnatural conditions caused by World War II were in part responsible for 104 dropping from class rolls during the high school interlude. High Wages, employment in war factories and home industries and the call to service were among the reasons for some who dropped from classroom schedules. ' 5' iFinally, the class of '46 with 143 left on the roll entered the last mile of the journey to get a high school diploma. g KENNETH KAY STEINKIRCHNER Football 4 QL55 Monitor 45 Class Pres. 45 Class Vice Pres. 2.
