Page Four Superintendent John B. Heffelfmxzer: Principal Prank Lindley: Associate Principal H. W. Scott: Miss Carmnlita Suttlc- and Mrs. Ruth Grahill, se-1-1'eta1'ie-s. Friendly Counselors The Class of 1951 will always bear a special distinction. They will be remembered as the last class to be graduated from Newton High School during the administration of Superintendent John B. Heffelfinger who, before the opening of another school year, will retire after 28 years as head of the Newton school system. Under Mr. Heffelfinger's administra- tion, Newton schools have been distinguished as among the best, and Newtonians have known many occasions on which to be proud of the achievements of students and teachers in many activities. The Class of 1951 also pays tribute to Principal Frank Lindley and Associate Principal H. W. Scott for their helpful, friendly and sympathetic leadership during many memorable days at Newton High School.

Memories By MARILYN BROWN September: School was started, everyone gay, This year was the end for the Seniors, Hooray! Cheerleaders, monitors, and officers were selected, Senior class president Bocock elected. After the state fair came football and thrills Cheering and yelling, bumps and spills. The Senior Kick-Off party was quite an affair Refreshments and dancing, fun for everyone there. Newtonian and Railroader staffs were chosen by Allbaugh, We think he's the nicest guy We ever saw. October: The time to choose a queen for Old King Football came, All nominees were so fair 'twas hard to pick the name: Lovely Diane Darling was the one to win this race, Pretty attendants Branine and Fotopoulos set a speedy pace. Pride and Prejudice, the senior play, was really some production, The cast and crews were grand, and that's a true deduction. November: Phyllis McMillan was presented the DAR award, Citizenship, patriotism, dependability were the points on which she scored. The mothers served the football boys a dinner quite delishg They had a cake shaped like a gridiron and chicken on a dish. December: The Christmas dance was very nice, good times were had by allg The decorations were cute and smart, it was a lovely ball. Four teams were at the tournament that was held in Lindley Hall, Though Newton took the second place, they really played good ball. The debaters took a little trip, they journeyed to Hutch: Second place was won by them and that is pretty much. Then they went to El Dorado for another meet, Goering and Baird took first place, a typical Railer feat. January: The first semester was at an end and everything was hummin', The exams were taken and then, of course, second semester was comin'. After 28 years as superintendent, Mr. Heffelfinger has retired. Mr. Scott will relieve him, a new history teacher is required. Po 1 l J
