Newton High School Class of 2009

NEWTON, NJ

www.zinch.com/john-gehringer

I'm a writer, a musician, a poet, a dreamer. My life generally revolves around music, mostly jazz, classic and modern rock and folk. Activism and public speaking are most certainly my cup of tea, and I see politics in my future. I'm a huge history buff, and I couldn't live without my books.

Extracurricular

Acoustic Musician

I'm an avid singer/songwriter who plays the local open mic circuit and is hoping he'll get noticed.

Latin Club

I loved the study of the Latin language and was extremely disappointed when my school dropped the program. I hope to continue my Latin studies and learn other ancient languages in college.

Varsity Bowling

I truly enjoy the time-honored tradition of tenpin and would love to find a college with a team, though I know these schools are few and far between.

Film

I have recently become very interested in the pursuit of film and have produced several independent shorts.

Did Pro Bono IT work at a daycare center.

Gave time in the summer of 2008 doing free IT work and office solutions for KEEP Inc in Sparta NJ.

Class of 2009

I was honored to serve as the Class of 2009's President over the course of my freshman year and have continued to stay active in student government.
