He left Holyoke to attend Rensselaer &#8220;Tech&#8221; at Troy, N.Y., in which city he has been located for the last six years engaged in Boy Scout work. The officers and directors of the Holyoke Boy Scouts are very happy over the coming of Mr. Newton, for, besides having a background of several years in Boy Scout Work, Mr. Newton has the added advantage of knowing Holyoke and Holyoke boys, having lived in the city up to his graduation from the local high school.<\/p>\n<p>From <em>The Springfield Republican.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>09 January 1927 Payson T.
