This is my eighth-grade class at Newton Elementary School in Torrance, California. Newton was a K-8 school in the 1960s and became a middle school in 1972, and was renamed Richardson Middle School in 1993. My Kindergarten through 8th grade teachers were Mrs. Heilmann, Miss Mantlas, Mrs. Parr, Mrs. Clements, Mrs. Barilone, and Mr. Nobles, Mr. Fine, and Miss Munson. Robert Fine (third from the right in the bottom row), is still teaching math. There were two other eighth-grade classes at Newton that year. It would be nice to show the full set of photos for the class of 1968. If you have one of the class photos, would you please scan it and send the file to me? I've posted a few memories of my eight years at Newton. More class pictures are available here: Mr. Day's 7th Grade Class, 1968; Mr. Fine's 8th Grade Class, 1969, Mr. Dinnel's 8th Grade Class, 1968. Most of the students at Newton went on to South High School in Torrance.
