"The physical plant of Newton North is similar in many ways to that of a jail. This is no coincidence as the building was designed in the 1970's by an architect who specialized in designing jails. Rumor has it that Newton North is riot-proof, but luckily we have never had to find out."

"There is a main hallway called "main street" which stretches for a quarter of a mile and this is the epicenter of life at Newton North. The majority of students' lockers are on Main St. and different locker sections are painted different colors."

"The back hallways in Newton North are very confusing and many freshmen get lost in these hallways during their first few days at Newton North, never to be found again."
