What the yearbook said

Bill came to the old High School in 1932 from way out yonder in the Berkshires. To be exact, Great Barrington. Among his many interests is a passion for collecting old pipes and the older the better. After graduation he plans to enter the ring, and, from this, he hopes to earn enough money to put him through Aviation School. NEWTON J( )NES “Newt” Hi-Y ; Glee Club; Debating Society Newt came from the Roosevelt School and set a reputation for himself as a most sociable fellow. His hobby is tinkering with autos, but he also seems to enjoy the company of a certain young lady. Newt’s ambition is to be a mechanical engineer and he should be good as one. So plow on, Newt. You’re going places fast.
