Extend their heartiest Congratulations and wish for its members a prosperous and happy life. r There’s only one definition for “efficiency” and that is “work.” What a store is depends largely on what it does when it has nothing to do. The public tire of “sameness.” This store believes in work. It is the panacea for all business ills—the universal remedy that corrects, stimulates, revives. But work here means something more than mere physical effort directed to some end, for back of the manual labor is intelligent w'hole souled effort of heart and brain. Thought is back of it. And experience guides the direction by which we strive to attain. An ounce of “now” is worth a pound of “bye and bye.” What a store is depends upon what it does when it has nothing to do.

I cannot see the members of the class of 1916 leave this high school without a word of appreciation for their spirit of loyalty and co-operation in everything we have undertaken during their Senior year. The spirit of any school is very largely determined by the spirit of the Senior Class. From the first week of the school year, when a f nv of your number, came before the school in assembly, and in a few words told the Freshmen what our school really is, and the ideals which are hers, to your Commencement week, not only have you most honorably upheld the traditions and high standards handed down to you from former classes, but the name of New Castle High reflects new lustre because of your attainments. What class can boast more honor students? When has more been done in oratory and debate? When has a class play been so well presented as was “As You Like It?” And the Monitor has this year been placed on a par with the best. Athletics, social activities, dramatics, scholarship,—all school activities have been placed on a higher plane because of your loyal cooperation, my friends. As we benefit by doing, so you have your reward in a wider experience, a broader outlook, a more complete preparation, and last, the appreciation of a grateful friend—your principal. I am happy to congratulate you on the completion of your high school course. Many are the lessons you have learned during your four years, but the ones of greatest value to you in the years to com , are the lessons of “hard work” and of “sticking to a task until it is completed.” If you will carry with you from this school these twro great lessons and apply them to the problems of life as they confront you, your future is assured. These are the results you have a right to expect in return for your four years spent in High School. They arc yours, if you have earned them, otherwise, your diploma will only mo:k you for the time wasted. Then, with a warm clasp of the hands, my friends, I wish you God’s speed. Strive ever to live to your best ideals. Keep your mind and body pure, your heart true, your soul noble. Keep as your guiding principle through life, your school motto:—NOTHING BUT THE BEST. J. L.

This lady’s ability to foretell events was truly remarkable, but her elaborate course of procedure and enormous amount of machinery seemingly necessary to produce even such extraordinary results, impressed me as being wholly superfluous. Indeed, after a careful analysis of her system, I concluded, as doubtless did many of you, that the incense pot which habitually stood at the right side of the necromancer was the real vehicle of revelation and that the cabalistic incantations served merely as a counter distraction with which the real agency was so cunningly cloaked. Once confirmed in this belief it remained only to secure a portion of the magic contents of the censer which, due to the scrupulous care with which it was guarded, cost me a considerable amount of thought and labor, and was finally attained only by the expediency of boring a hole in the roof of the Coliseum directly over the censer and condensing a small portion of the vapor in a test tube. On examination of the liquid, I found it to be of a gelatinous consistency and to possess a continuous undulating movement, whence I reasoned that it partook the nature of an enormous amoeba and would reproduce itself by division, if given the opportunity. This hypothesis proved correct as upon pouring the fluid into a large vessel, I found the next morning that it had increased from a few drops to a half a gallon of the magic decoction. I noticed that at a certain depth the liquor was strangely confused, and looking more closely I observed a remarkable phemonenon. The first faint lines of a picture seemed to form, growing gradually heavier and more distinct. It was wonderful; for the next hour I sat enraptured, entranced by a succession of the most wonderful pictures of the future of a most wonderful class! 51 Chauncey Stanton, who attained considerable fame in his high school days as a debater was represented as still very enthusiastic along that line, and was shown trying to settle, by means of a deck of cards, a debate on the momentous question, “Should a young swain kiss his girl on the cheek or on the front porch?” Leah Dewberry and Virginia Eakin, it seemed had decided to do something useful after they were graduated from high school and were now in charge of the society columns of-Dr. Stukinsky’s Almanac. There were in our class a number of farmer boys, Harold Thompson, Newell McKibben, Harold Cox, Arrel Bradley, Russell Cage, and Harold Hoye. Tiring of the crowded city they had returned to the simple life, and were astonishing the scientific world by raising potatoes above ground. Rose Rosenblum and Frances Hadyn were writing moving picture scenarios in New York City. Dick Blanning had run amuck financially in early manhood, but later on had come into possession of a sausage mill and was succeeding admirably in making both ends meat! Some of our number had gone to college and were pursuing various lines of study. Anna McGurk, Charlotte Taylor, Beulah Kemm, and Mary Pattison were specializing in physics. Lolita Munnel was the extra ‘“man” on a college girls’ basket ball team. Dot White and Frances Wing were little Kappa Kappa Gammas, trying to remove snobbishness from girls’ “Frats.” Zeke Carpenter had attained his highest aim in life. He was the handsome and popular basket ball coach at Tarry-Town-on-the-Hudson. Helen Foster in a big girls’ school, had been unable to break away from her old habits, and was chairman of four important committees. Leonora Boyles, Dorothy Humble, and Marie Stadlehofer were leading cheers for Vassar. Bernice Bartlett was a senior in a Co-ed school. Her specialty was raising freshmen. Matthew Gunton and Joseph Mcllvenny were making a secret study of the girl question. James Pollock had blossomed forth into a promising young politician, mainly through political oratory and Pollock Cigars. Maude Atkinson, Alice Miles, Ruth George, Frances Maxwell, Jean Ingham and Eleanor Beck had opened a little boarding house in Atlantic City, where they “took in” boarders,-----and all others with whom they had any business dealings. Joe Agan was noted in high school for being rather a deep thinker. In the earlier part of his career Joe was a radical Irish socialist. Later on his views changed somewhat and he became a pirate. Esther Jeffries, Elaine Ranke, and Stella Maxwell had determined to become missionaries, but had great trouble in deciding whether to go to Cochin China or to Europe. 62 tv. LLu nE rmr -5ai ._;p The Misses Fox, Phipps, Fitch, and Fishbura had fled with four foolish fellows. Joseph Grigsby and Gayle Eagan, who had not raised much thunder in high school, were making up for lost time now and were Mexican revolutionists. Paul Weitzel, a reputed friend and admirer of the Kaiser, was spending much of his time in a big research laboratory, trying to discover if he had a hyphen in his cosmos. Jesse Hogue was shown as a man of dual life. A part of the time he lived in the crowded metropolis, and the other part he spent among the Hills! Rozella Popp and Amelia Van Wert were engaged in fancy basket weaving, for which work they showed a special aptitude w'hile in high school in their skill at making baskets. As a milliner’s model Juliet Price was making a great success. Bob Armstrong, a prosperous civil engineer was in darkest Africa ----------following the footsteps of Stanley. Esther Levine, Rose Sweeny and Rose Jacobs were teaching in the grade schools. Don Mitchell, whose love for photography had quite carried him away, was in a removed part of the world taking moving pictures of a glacier. Marian Woodbury, for reasons of her own, had become a nun, and had entered a very austere convent, in charge of which was Giovanni Garibaldi Giardini; Mephistophelian Ecclesiastic, as such in last analysis. Arthur Eckles, a young politician of high standing was United States Ambassador to Abyssinia. Norman White and Guy Cover, two close friends in school, were now widely separated; the one was out in the wilds of Thibet—catchin’ Tartars; the other was out in Edinburg—catchin’ ’taters. Our class was not without lecturers and entertainers; in that capacity Grace Love, Lena Warner, and Ruth Penberthy were touring the country on the Chautauqua platform. Mary Shannon for several years acted as matron of a children’s day nursery, where her most regular charge was Herbert Graham. Some of our classmates had been inveigled into the labyrinths of Matrimony. Elizabeth Martin had married and was living happily in Beaver Falls. Frank Ralston had married------Mrs. Ralston, and had succeeded in falling in love with his wife. John Meehan and Paul Marso, famous in early life as globe trotters, spent the latter part of their careers in Africa, where they were killed one evening, just before dinner----by cannibals! May Berry and Adelaide Andrews were interested in Y. W. C. A. work. r.3 iit-'QTflF oil Amelia Williams, Arabella Dean, Hanna Bashline, and Gladys Kennedy formed the executive staff of the New Colonial Hotel, at Squee-dunk. William Poole, after he left high school, entered vaudeville, and as an automator was now doing a one round act entitled, “Why is a Grape?” Ruth Woodworth, Dorothy Stanley, and Eleanor Fleming had hearked to the call to arms, and were now serving under the flag as “angles of mercy”. Virginia Thompson, who so successfully assumed the difficult Role of Rosalind in the senior play, after she was graduated, took up Shakesperian work in earnest, and for a number of years played with the ghost of Edwin Booth. Arch Wilson turned from motor cars eventually and became a learned atheist, with offices in the Lawrence Savings and Trust Building. Abe Levine, Molly Ruzewich, Sara Cukerbraum, Rose Cohen, and Alex Rosenblum had formed the Lo-Nimts-Evo-L’orech Yamim Society, and when last heard of were in the Himalaya Mountains, searching for the lost tribes of Israel. Harold Moore was a dentist in New York; had stopped drawing pictures for amusement and was now drawing teeth for pa—in. Grand Opera had claimed one of our classmates, Helen Jones had become one of the leading sopranos with the Metropolitan Opera. James Crawford, in all the bashfulness of young manhood, had become a Niemalsheiratetdurchmaedchengefurchtyuengling. Esther Hamilton and Caroline Ziegler were our only suffragettes. Jean Rummel and Ruth Lees were kindergarten teachers in New Leipsig, where they taught the “young idea how to shoot.” Alexander Black became famous late in life as a Methodist preacher. Edmondo Doyno, in love and league with Terpsichore was studying modern dancing with Helen Hughes. Mildred Allison, Wilma Beight, Olive Raub, and Elizabeth Big-gerstaff had joined the big sister movement and were doing settlement work in the restless slums of the metropolis’. Robert Davison gained fame as a fruit grower. Bob’s hobby was “peaches!” Lucille Allen, Elizabeth Matheny, and Emma Matthews, who had always manifested a liking for the high life while in high school, still retained their tastes in this direction and were living in a little cabin on Pikes Peak. Earl Quest and Austin Smith in school showed themselves to be possessed of peculiarly scientific minds. They were now up north in the big woods, in quest of a solution to the phenomenon, why trees “leave in the spring.” 54 .fa.0 )' o m rmi As I sorrowfully pondered over the utter futility of my friends’ scientific undertaking, I inadverdently groaned, and, immediately as if in harmonical sympathy there proceeded from the basin a wail so weird that my hair irresistibly stood on end; and as I bent eagerly over the basin to learn the cause, there came a great convulsion of the liquid and I saw and heard things which I hope it may never be my fate to see or hear again. A mild fantastic scene lay pictured before me in the basin. I beheld a flat barren plain with rugged rocks strewn in confusion over it. Far off I could discern a storm beaten coast stretching away to the horizon. No living thing was visible. A sombre leaden sky overhung everything, and only heightened the general aspect of cheerlessness and melancholy. From descriptions in Paradise Lost and Dante’s “Inferno” I recognized the place as a portion of the lower world and deduced from this that some of my classmates had died, and that their futures were now about to be presented. In this conjecture I was not mistaken, for as the shadowy image developed, I saw the sombre death barge of Charon nearing the shore, and in it the ghostly shades of fire of my former classmates: Paul Raidy, who had received his passport from indigestion, Ralph Patterson from inertness, EdwinBall from an insect, Ella Ruth Smith from inconstancy, and Ella Kerber from inconsistency. All the time the weird tone which had so startled me, was gradually becoming more distinct; as my eyes eagerly followed the spectre ship round the last desolate promontory; I beheld a massive gate swing open and the graceful shade of Faye Mer-shimer trip lightly down to the landing place. A short distance behind her came the shade of Harry Trimble; I now recognized the weird melody which had so startled me as Saint Saens “Dance of Death,” played on the shade of a slide trombone. As they had lived so had they died. At this juncture I was called away to the telephone and upon returning a moment later discovered my dog, Shep. sniffing round the basin. I hastily scared him away, but alas! the damage was done. Shep’s cold nose had chilled the delicate pulse of life in the liquid, and in a few minutes it solidified in the form of an incocahedron—heavy as lead and hard as adamant. And it woud be difficult for even so sanguine a person as Eva Fay herself to believe that the dull, lifeless, incocahedron in my den at home was once the living mirror in which was reflected the fortunes ot the Class of 1916. 55 THE CLASS ORATION NATIONALISM versus INDIVIDUALISM. JAMES K. POLLOCK, Jr., ’lfi. Nationalism is the touchstone of true .statesmanship This is the cause of everything of world consequence since the Renaissance. It means much because it demands sacrifice; because it broadens one’s views and ideals; because it makes possible the harmony of many minds. The word nationalism has been warped and twisted till in one shape or another it can be applied almost to any piece of diplomatic strategy. Within the latter half of the nineteenth century, it has been greatly exaggerated; going beyond a healthy desire to express the true native characteristics of a people, it has come, in some quarters, to mean the decrying of everything originating outside of the national boundary. Several nations now engaged in war have already served us an example of the confusion of meanings which have enwrapped themselves about the concept of nationalism. Unfortunately, this selfish, individualistic spirit is even implanted within our own nation. The westward march of the pioneer gave to Americans a psychological twist w'hich has hindered the development of a socialized democracy. The open continent intoxicated the American; gave him an enlarged view of self; dwarfed the common spirit; made the American mind a little sovereignty of its own, which acknowledges no allegiances and but few obligations. In fact it has created an individualism, self-confident, short-sighted, doomed in the end to defeat itself. National disaster and a common foe has developed a strong spirit of nationalism. The sense of national kinship and national freedom inspired the Greeks in their struggle with Persia, and the Germans in their conflict with the Romans. The feudal state was merely an aggregation of individuals,—a loose bundle of separated series of men knowing few common aims or actions. Only a common calamity could unite it. Must America today, like an old feudal community wait for a national misfortune before it develops this true spirit of nationalism? Our existence as a nation has no real significance, from the standpoint of humanity at large unless it means the ruie of the people, and the achievement of a greater measure of “widely diffused national well-being.” Unless this is, in very truth, a government of, by, and for the people, then historically as well as in present world interest our national existence loses its purport. Little may be gained by repeating on a larger scale in the Western Hemisphere the careers of Tyre and Carthage. Thinking must govern action; we must learn to think nationally before we may hope to act nationally. Each section of the country must realize that it is interdependent upon every other section. The East should no longer think that the West is careless, ignorant and uncouth; neither should the West look upon the East as narrow, prejudiced, and selfish. We must have the shrewdest and most farseeing altruism since the good of the whole is the good of all its parts. We must consider and promote those governmental policies which are best calculated to serve the welfare not merely of our own Congressional district, state, or section of country, in which sectionalism should long ago have disappeared, but of the entire Republic. The Middle West, at times, takes comparatively little interest in the question of national defense. Its cities are not open to bombardment by a hostile fleet. It has no fear that an invading army would penetrate as far as its borders. It feels secure; it sympathizes little with “those semi-hysterical fears” of the coast. This section has apparently forgotten that the prosperity of the West is furthered by that of the East. The great producing states would suffer grievously should disaster befall the great industrial centers or should the ports be raided so that our commerce would be destroyed. Illinois and Nebraska have need of New York and Massachusetts, just as surely as the latter have need of them. Great coast cities and states should see that justice and equity are done to the farmers, miners, and stockraisers of the West; the West in turn, should help in securing the coast against alien ravages. Both regions need to think nationally and not individually. States have been known now and then to hold lightly the treaty obligations of the United States when they have imagined them to run counter to their local interests. Then they have over-stepped their rights, and safeguarded themselves by unfair means in the Senate. California, doubtlessly, will have much to answer for in the Japanese question, if Japan retaliates, as many of her sympathizers expect. America had the first opportunity of giving Japan lessons in modern civilization. If Japan has not the highest ideals we alone are responsible. We have not made them feel that they owed anything to the Nation because we were working to advance our own individual interests. At the conclusion of our Civil War the government seemed to be largely an agency for the promotion of wealth. Special privileges have overshadowed common rights; it has become as necessary to possess the power of control over the industrial baronage as it had been to impose such control on the mediaeval baronage. It has been as necessary to shackle financial cunning as it had been to shackle physical and military force. The individual interests of the moneyed powers are largely responsible for some of the uncomfortable situations in which our government has been placed. Their demands for the best market for their produce, irrespective of the difficulties involved in shipment, have been the cause of many of our altercations with Germany over the submarine warfare. Frequent rumors of our intentions of join- BETMWWII 57 .Qi . ing the Allies in the Great War have been circulated with no further explanation than the need of protecting Our Money Trust. Unthoughtedly, many who consider themselves most patriotic, and scorn any reference to High Finance have helped in these complications. For the sake of adventure, of pleasure or, perhaps, individual knowledge, they have sailed to Europe without considering the possible difficulties that might arise. Let us work in a spirit of broad and far-reaching Nationalism. We are all Americans. Our common interests should be as broad as the continent. The National government belongs to the American people; where they are concerned, that interest can only be guarded effectively by the unified National government. State lines, individual domains, do not affect running water. Every important river system of our country includes more than one state in its area. Our plans, our designs, should be broader than mere river systems ;our thoughts should reach infinitely farther than our eyes can see. The Nation and the Nation alone can act with full effect in national matters. No man is fit for citizenship, let alone for office, in the United States government, nor can he be justly called an American unless he is whole heartedly for America. The highest welfare of the whole Republic is the greatest welfare of each component state. Learn to think not merely as individuals, or as inhabitants of a certain city or state, but as citizens of the whole Nation. 58 CLASS POEM, 1916. ROSE ROSENBLUM, '16. A man, when he has climbed a mountain high, Despite the obstacles that blocked his way. Finds, at the top, vast wonders greet his eye— The crowning purpose of his work, that day; The world, in wondrous beauty, lies before Him, with its loveliness displayed; And, solitary there, he gazes o’er The richness that the toil of man has made. So we have struggled up a mountain high— A mount of knowledge, difficult to climb. Whereon the strongest one is wont to sigh— To languish, with the passing on of time. We, by much effort, have attained this height, And calmly pause to contemplate the way. To see the joys stretched out before our sight— Thus for our labors have we gained our pay. With this great universe before our eyes, We find to us that all the pow’r is given (Which we should use in ev’ry manner wise) To make this earth a little more like Heaven. We can improve or mar it, as we will— Add to its store of virtues every day, Or else detract from it, and thus we fill With obstacles our fellow beings’ way. ffTMTOHII 59 -ai - H A sculptor works with very earnest care, Molds skillfully a precious work of art— Creating something wonderful and fair, And puts within, his very soul and heart. We all are sculptors in a different way— Our lives to mold and chisel is our work, A task which brings no other kind of pay Than its results,—despair to those who shirk. As years pass by, for those who work each day, Achievement, that reward which fails us ne’er, Crowns effort; and complete the work will stay, “A thing of beauty, and a joy fore’er.” Thus far, dear classmates, we have worked as one. With others to direct us on our way; Rewarded for some tasks that we have done, Though many hours we’ve spent in idle play. Now we must part, each his own path to go. Where obstacles will often greet the eye— Where some will rise, but never sink below The standards set at old New Castle High. Oh, there are mountains that we all must climb. And there is chis’ling for us all to do, So must we use persistently our time, Improving old things and creating new. CO PR. - At u . ii CL SS HISTORY HELEN JONES, ’16. IT To us, the members of the illustrious class of nineteen hundred and sixteen, the bright, clear, sunshiny day of September second, nineteen hundred and twelve, will never be forgotten. To us it shall go down as a memorable day in the history of our lives, when we in rank and file, laughing, chattering, screaming and panting from exhaustion, climbed up Shaw Street hill. There was not one in that group who had not a smiling countenance even though it hid a quaking spirit; each was on his way to enlist in the grand army striving for knowledge in the high school. On we came until we reached the barracks, where we, with our enlistment cards held tightly in our little chubby hands, clamored for our turn. After waiting for some time outside the building, where our greenish and frightened appearance was being commented upon by the dignified Seniors, the wise Juniors, and the knowing Sophomores, we finally gained admittance. These few minutes of waiting were enough to convince us that no matter how important we considered ourselves, others were not inclined to esteem us so highly. The size of the building, the business-like manner of the upper classmen, our own ignorance of the customs and schedules, caused us many difficulties and embarrassments. How often did we timidly open a door behind which we expected to find the faces of friends, only to receive the stares and indulgent smiles of the Seniors! In dismay we slammed the door and fled. There were times when we forgot our troubles and uncertainties sufficiently to try sliding down the banisters; then we were promptly reminded by some august being that this was not a gymnasium nor an amusement park. We soon became acquainted with those formidable beings, the faculty, whose business it was so to frighten us that we were hypnotized in learning our lessons. Some of our would-be friends from the upper classes tutored us in bluffing. A few of us became such experts that we had enough success to encourage us in becoming professional. 0 1• nTOHii 61 Because of our good looks, ready wit, and coming-on and-up disposition, the other classes became jealous, and attempted to play pranks on our members, but alas! What was the outcome? Defeat for our tormentors in a glorious battle waged on Washington Street! That of itself will testify as to our militant powers and abilities even as Freshmen, over all other classes. We preferred to reserve any great exhibition of athletic prowess until later years; the only feats performed were a few “hikes” by the girls. The following semester a champion team in basketball was drawn from our midst. We were successful in other lines also, for Russell Shields gained second place in the inter-class track meet. Our Sophomore year was one of great delight. The viridity had assumed a dimmer cast by this time; besides, we were the “true owners” of the school, the guardians of the new Freshmen class. In order to have some fun, we began making preparations for tormenting the Freshmen. A few members of the class attempted to “do unto others as they had been done by.” Then—woeful time, they were told that they were in need of a change of scenery. After this history making event, nothing need be recorded except the mid-year examinations, which defeated but few in our class. Both the boys and girls took up athletics with great zeal; the girls captured the inter-class basketball championship; the boys were not so successful, although they had “by far the best team” in the school. At the beginning of our Junior year a just settlement of all accounts was made. The unskilled bluffers and the too skillful sliders were halted. All our laxness was heaped upon our own heads. Our new principal, Mr. Thalman, showed us the error of our ways. All those who had not at least seven credits, parted from us,—some for lower classes, others for parts unknown. The Senior-Freshmen reception at the first of the year was the first of a number of parties in which we had an excellent opportunity of becoming better acquainted with one another. That year we were striving for the best in athletics as well as in every thing else: the Seniors soon realized that they had, in us, powerful rivals. Again the boys were not as successful as the girls, who for the second time won the championship in interclass basketball. The highest point of interest and the acme of our social life in our third year, was reached when we banqueted the Seniors, held on May the seventh, in the High School gymnasium. We were the first class to use the high school building for this important social event of the school year. The gymnasium was so tastefully decorated that it resembled a bower of wild flowers or a dainty grotto ball room. Many enjoyed themselves, in “tripping the light fantastic toe;” others played all kinds of ingenious games. Our school was no longer a place to be shunned out of class hours, but a home in which we might entertain ourselves. 62 On the morning of September the thirteenth, nineteen hundred and fifteen, we again entered this building, no longer as trembling Freshmen, flighty Sophomores, wise Juniors, but as earnest Seniors. After the first few weeks of study we organized. Arthur Eckles, who had been our efficient president during the Junior year, was reelected president of the class. Then we gave a reception in honor of that army of sturdy lads and lassies, about four hundred strong, which had but recently joined our forces. Amusement was furnished by a few of our members; then autographs were exchanged for the rest of the evening. From this time on, athletics played a great part. Now we can truly boast of Weide, White, Wilson, Grigsby, Raidy, Carpenter, Armstrong, Davison and Eckles, who fought so hard, and through their efforts made the Senior class teams and many of the school athletic organizations what they are today. The girls, also, have received their share of honors. For the first time in the history of the High School, we have had a girls’ varsity basketball team. In spite of their apparent inexperience they successfully and decidedly defeated all comers. If this year’s aggressiveness is a sign of what will follow, the coming classes have a brilliant athletic future before them. This team’s work may be equalled, but never can be surpassed. Much of its success is due to the Senior players, Amelia Van Wert, Rosella Popp, Helen Hughes and Dorothy White. In all their battles the teams were loyally supported by the class, as well as by the school. The semester examinations at mid-year reminded us that we had started the last lap of the race; that half of our Senior year had passed and gone forever. Then we were glad to welcome back to our midst a few of those who had trailed slightly behind. Would that we could have welcomed them all! We stand, as you see us now, a reg -ment, one hundred and fifteen in number, equipped with loads of possibilities. After several months of training for the Senior Class Play, “As You Like It,” it was produced on the night of March the third, nineteen hundred and sixteen. A play was never produced by a cast of amateurs with greater success than this. Another success worthy of a place in History was our publication the “Monitor,” which is now ranked among the best school papers. This decided leap over all preceding years is due to the untiring efforts of the editor, Austin Smith, and his staff, and to the teachers who had so generously given their valuable services. This record is one which the succeeding classes will have to strive hard to equal. The crowning social event of the year was reached when we were the guests of the Juniors at a banquet and reception, held May 12th, in the High School Gymnasium. We were delightfully entertained at a delicious banquet, where we afterwards listened to witty toasts. A farce, “The Senior,” clever in its presentation, afforded us further amusement; then all enjoyed dancing in the gym. 63 m-vrnni Thus the time has passed on like the breath of a bracing wind, until it leaves us on this platform tonight, ready, when tomorrow evening’s exercises are over, to take the work of the world upon our young and inexperienced shoulders; to continue the work which others have left undone, in such a way that we shall be a credit to our school, and a correct interpreter of our school motto, “Nothing But The Best.” We cannot realize that Commencement ends our days, as a class, in good old N. C. H. S., under whose roof we have enjoyed it’s pleasures and labors together. We have tried to be faithful and loyal to our trust, to the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Faculty. To succeeding classes we hope we have been an example worthy of emulation. THE BACHELOR’S SOLILOQUY ELLA ALLGOOD To wed, or not to wed; that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in a man to suffer The slings and sorrows of that blind young archer, Or to fly to arms against a host of troubles, And at the altar end them. To woo—to wed— No more, and by this step to say we end The heartache and the thousand hopes and fears The single suffer—’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To woo—to wed—; To wed—perchance repent!—Ay, there’s the rub. For in that wedded state, what woes may come When we have launched upon that untried sea Must give us pause. THE SHORT STORY CLUB. m cwi THE SHORT STORY CLUB. The Short Story Club was organized shortly after Christmas under the direction of Miss Hawkins. All Senior and Junior girls were asked to join, but at present there are only ten members, all of whom are Seniors. In order to secure membership each girl was required to write an acceptable story. The purpose of the Short Story Club is to develop literary ability and to help supply material for the School paper, the Monitor. The Club meets every two weeks, for an hour after school. The leading women authors have been studied; Kipling’s short stories were read; original plots have been discussed and developed; and the technique of short story writing studied. In addition to the literary work, the members enjoyed an informal social time. 66 SOESHC38 A SENIOR’S FAREWELL EARL QUEST ’16. A mellow sadness fills this heart of mine. I feel the same when woods and fields lie still— Lie hot and reeking wet in drizzling rain; And oozy sod and slimy mud prevail; When every stitch upon my body steams, While salty, stinging sweat fills both my eys. Too soon will come the day when I must leave These halls so fair to me. In looking back At all the happy days gone by, my heart Is sad. For soon will I depart and say Farewell to nearly all my friends so dear. Please God, our ships may pass again in Life’s Great Sea of Chance! and may it please His Grace That all our barks ride safely through the Storm To reach at last the Bay of Great Success. O comrades dear, it grieves my heart to say “Goodby,” I know you all so well! Each day we’ve met, And worked, and walked, and talked together, here. We’ve laughed and quarreled-we’ve shared our joys and woes. And must we part so soon? Perhaps the day May never come when we shall meet again. But never can the years erase, or dim Those mem’ries dear, of high school, happy days. 67 MEW1I v, -ai ji r. 8 HiL m inn 11 EPITUFC5 HOUR 73( An ?5 OAA' A FINAL WORD. Since our High School Annual has become firmly established in the last three years the publication of this fourth volume by the Class of 1916 needs no explanation of its scope. We have not attempted to enlarge the book much beyond the limits of former years. We have, however added one new feature which we hope will become permanent. That is a name. In the past it has been the custom to call the publication simply “Annual” or “Year Rook,” but now it is firmly established; it has become a permanent institution of the school and we consider it worthy of a good name. “Ne-Ca-Hi,” the name chosen is merely an abbreviation of “New Castle High.” the first two letters of each word, separated by a hyphen, making the name. Miss Molly Ruzewich, the literary editor of the “Monitor” is the originator of this clever name. Whether it will be suitable to use permanently is for the school to decide, for this book is really a creation of the whole body of students and faculty. Its purpose is to reflect as fully as possible the student life of N. C. H. S. Such a book as an annual depends for its success not only upon the untiring labor of the staff, but also upon the hearty co-operation and unselfish support of the student body. It is the product of the school and if we hope to share in the pleasure of its final completion we must have a share in the labor of making it. The work of publishing an annual is great; but the drudgery is made enjoyable and we feel repaid for the toil, by the hope that every student may find within its covers sufficient compensation for all that it has cost. rearms A WORD OF APPRECIATION. 69 We do not have the space to mention individually the many who have aided by their generosity in money, time and thought to make this publication a success, but we extend our heartiest thanks to each and every one who has borne with us. To the members of the student body for their support in contributing material; to Mr. Thalman and the faculty for the interest they have shown and the assistance rendered ; to the art department and to our printers and advertisers who have aided so much in making our efforts an artistic and financial success, we wish to express appreciation. We wish especially to express our gratitude to Miss Baker and the members of her public speaking classes, who so successfully staged the farce: “What Happened to Jones.” The money realized (which amounted to quite a sum) was given to the Monitor staff and will go a long way toward placing our paper on the road to financial success next year. Attention is called to the advertising pages, that department to which the entire book owes so much for support. The excellence of future volumes will depend to a great extent upon how valuable to the advertisers we make the space in this issue. Let every student patronize the wide awake merchants who have their ads in the Ne-Ca-Hi. 70 fa tv FACULTY SNAP SHOTS 71 THE SENIORS AS THEY CAME IN—1912.

For three happy years has this bark merrily sailed the now peaceful, now turbulent waters of High School Life. When first we unfurled our sails to the winds, this vessel was a deep dyed green, inexperienced and unsophisticated. Suffering for the sins of the adventurous ships Thirteen and Fourteen, we were lead by no captain that first year; but all hands worked faithfully together, some flaunting the colors before the winds of sport, scholarship, and school-spirit, others standing ready with eager hearts and willing hands for support. The next term, our crew organized electing for our captain one jovial comrade who has since served as captain of the Varsity foot-ball team. Then was the much-ridiculed green hue, triumphantly hidden by a brave array of red and white. Storms and high winds disturbed us not, despite the fact that a few of our band suffered “sea sickness” and were obliged to discontinue their voyage. This year we have become more experienced seamen, entering sport, society, and scholarship with the intent to make our name. We have contributed most generously to all forms of athletics, and have this term won the cup for the Girls’ Interclass Basket Ball Championship. The one cloud on our horizon is the memory that twice we have tolled the bells for class mates whom a higher hand has deemed it best to take from us. These two are most sincerely missed and will never be forgotten by us. So our ship 'Seventeen sails on, not regreting the past, hoping for the future, living in the present.

On September last, we stormed the walls of New Castle High, over three hundred strong, and have since then made our mark in scholarship, athletics and even society; for we are the first freshmen class to organize in four years. This organization was effected that we might combine our efforts with those of the upper classmen to make school functions more successful.

One event that we deeply regret and sincerely mourn is the death of our classmate, friend and playfellow, Sherman Rabinovitz. THE CAST OF AS YOU LIKE IT 83 COM3 SENIOR CLASS PLAY. “As You Like It” given by the members of the Class of 1916, under the management of the English Department, was presented on the evening of March the third, at eight fifteen o’clock. We could not have liked it much better because, from the beginning to the end, there were no awkward pauses, no unbearable trying delays, and unheard voices. The caste has excellent reason for feeling proud of themselves, because of the histrionic laurels they have won and the pleasure and delight that they have given to the people of New Castle by this production. A few rearrangements from the original play were made in order to expedite the performance. It is a difficult matter to determine the stars; rather let us call the entire a constellation with all stars of equal size. The girls, though not many, helped to bring out all the beauty and charm that the play possesses. Virginia Thompson, as Rosalind, reflected all the moods that an animated, healthy girl, in the house of an uncle, who hated her father and later in love with a man to whom she was too proud to admit this love, might have. Lolita Munnell, as the cheerful Celia, was the playful, half stern cousin, who alternately rebuked and depended upon the stronger Rosalind. Phoebe, the flirtatious shepherdess, who, womanlike, was fascinated by the angry looks and words of Ganymede, Rosalind in disguise, and annoyed by the ardent wooing of the shepherd, Silvius, (Harold Moore) was excellently played by Anna McGurk. Ella Kerber skillfully played the part of Audrey, the country girl, who won the attention of Touchstone, the court fool, (William Poole) who had accompanied Celia and Rosalind to the forest. Helen Jones and Elizabeth Martin, as the pages, sang that old English song, “There was a lover and his maid.” Twelve of the Senior girls danced a morris dance at the reunion of all the different groups which aided much in adding to the old English setting. The masculine members of the caste are in no way to be ignored. Each in his turn exhibited ability in portraying l is part: Robert Davison as Orlando; Arrel Bradley as Oliver, the harsh unjust brother; Austin Smith as Jaques, the third brother; Ralph Patterson as the exiled duke, surrounded by his friends, the foresters; Amiens (James Pollock), Jaques, (James Crawford) wrho solemnly expounded to his friends many weighty ideas on life and living; Arthur Eckles as the stern, selfish brother, uncle and father who drove from the castle those for whom he should most care; Reed Carpenter as Adam, the old servant, undaunted by trouble and calamity; Harold Cox, as Dennis who sympathized with the difficulty of Orlando; Harry Trimble, as 84 -gaQ jp Le Beau, the courteous courtier; John Meehan, as Charles the wrestler, who made Orlando come into prominence; Gayle Eagan, the old shepherd, Corin. who had been in love but could not make Silvius the lovelorn believe it; Edwin Ball as William, the bashful lover of Audrey. The parts of lackeys, lords, ladies in waiting, were played by other members of the class. To Mr. Kurtz and the orchestra and to Mr. Birath and the Glee Club, the class is indebted for music. THE PINAFORE CHORUS 00 01 86 nE- ntii ? “PINAFORE.” During graduation week, a comic opera, “Pinafore” is to be given in the auditorium by the High School Chorus, under the direction of Miss Frances Foulke and Mr. S. D. Birath. The opera gives a sarcastic picture of the shallow pride of officers, in the British navy. The play takes place on board the ship “Pinafore,” and the happy crew are the actors. Ralph Rackstraw, one of the seamen, is violently in love with Josephine, the Captain’s daughter, but she spurns his love. At this juncture, the Right Honorable Sir Joseph Porter, inspector of ships, comes on the scene, accompanied by his cousin, Hebe. Sir Joseph also loves Josephine, and the Captain thinks he will be a more suitable husband for her than Ralph. Gradually Ralph and Josephine become very much interested in ‘each other and decide to elope; but “Little” Buttercup, the hale and robust nurse, just then discloses the secret that she had changed the identity of Ralph and the Captain, when they were infants; so now Ralph is the Captain of the proud ship Pinafore” and the erstwhile captain is Ralph, a mere seaman. Of course, since things have taken this turn, Sir Joseph does not care to have any further interest in Josephine, and turns his attention to his cousin Hebe. All through the play Dick Deadeye, the villian, takes care to see that the old saying: “The course of true love never runs smooth,” is verified. The story ends happily with the marriage of the ex-captain and Little Buttercup and the Captain and Josephine. This little opera is very pleasing in its nature, and should afford much pleasure to its audience. The school orchestra, under the able direction of Mr. Edward F. Kurtz, supplies the accompaniment. Miss Bess Baker, of the Public Speaking Department, has charge of the dramatic side of the play.

Organized only last year and directed by a student it succeeded so well thattheschool board decided that we should have a skilled director for the year 1915-16. The orchestra has met regularly on Mondays for a full period and under the direction of Mr. Kurtz has accomplished all that it planned for this year. They have given one public concert and have furnished the music for the class play and chorus.

Perhaps the greatest factor in this success was the large increase in the number of members. The meetings have abounded in interest and enthusiasm; this fact largely accounts for the increase in membership. But the underlying motive of the club is to create better fellowship among the boys of the high school. It has been its good fortune to have been addressed by many excellent and interesting speakers from all walks of life; bankers, lawyers, ministers, doctors, merchants, and salesmen, and to have profited exceedingly from them. At the last meeting of the year, the annual election of officers took place with the following results: President................... Howard Fisher Vice-President...............Harvey Harman Secretary-Treasurer...........Arthur Dunn The newdy elected officers may well be proud of being at the head of a growing organization of the size and calibre of the Hi-Y Club and great steps of accomplishment and advancement may be expected from the Club next year. to THE DEBATING TEAM nE ntii 93 DEBATING TEAM. This year a new activity was added to the rapidly growing number of organizations in our school. Under the supervision of Miss Baker, our public speaking instructor, and through the serious efforts of the members of the Adelphic Literary Society a varsity debating team was realized. Our first inter-scholastic debate took place at New Wilmington. Here our orators upheld the negative side of the question : “Resolved that the United States should retain permanent possession of the Philippine Islands,” against New Wilmington High. Although we lost the decision of the judges we are perfectly satisfied with the showing made by our team. The next debate was with Beaver Falls, upon the “Preparedness” question. In this contest one team from our High School argued the affirmative side of the question in the afternoon at Beaver Falls, while another debated the negative at New Castle in the evening. The judges at both places decided in our favor. The work of the teams this year has been most gratifying and marks the entrance of New Castle High into the front rank with other schools in debate and oratory. This new phase of our school activities is an important one and deserves the hearty support and co-operation of every member of this school. Here’s hoping that it may mature and develop to the honor and glory of old N. C. H. S. The members of the teams this year were: Miss Baker (coach) Arthur Eckles, Austin Smith, James Pollock, James Crawford, Herbert Weide and Chauncey Stanton. 95 _L newii ADELPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY. An organization which has again been introduced into the high school activities within the last year, is the Adelphic Literary Society. Many years ago the society existed in one form or another but never has it flourished as during the past year. Formerly the members of the society met whenever conditions permitted, sometimes weekly, but more often monthly. However, conditions have been favorable ths year; meetings have been held every week, as a period of school time has been set toward this end. The purpose of the society has been to promote and encourage literary intercourse among students of the high school, and to give training and drill in parliamentary law and public speaking. There is no doubt that the society has succeeded in its purpose. Membership in the society is restricted to Juniors and Seniors. At first the attendance was not large, but as time passed the membership steadily increased until at the present time the society includes the majority of the boys in the upper two classes. Interest has not lagged at any time throughout the year, but has increased with each meeting. The programs have been of a varied nature and have included every form of literary activity. The parliamentary drills have proved to be of especial interest and frequently of amusement. The society is sponsor for the school debating teams; much credit is due it for the work it has done. Although many of the prominent members are Seniors the prospects for the future of the organization are excellent.

J. Freshmen 7 New Castle 38 Opponents 72 New Castle 180 Early last September an innovation was tried in our football training. Due to the fact that school started later than usual and our first game came very early in the season; a football training camp was established at a farm about four miles from town. Out there on the rocky fields Coach Sankey attempted to force a little football knowledge into the heads of the candidates who numbered about thirty. Here the fellows were hardened up a little but the real work began when school started; the aspirants were increased to about forty-five and Coach Boone then started to work in earnest to produce a winning team. The degree of success which our team attained during the season was due to the untiring efforts of Coaches Boone and Sankey, the splendid spirit of the fellows and the loyal support of the student body. Our team lost but two games during the entire season, one on a sea of mud at Beaver Falls and the other by a fluke at Cascade Park. New Castle was given the surprise of her life at Cascade Park on September 25, when a football team from Ellwood City High School held our eleven to a 7-7 tie. Ed French was responsible for the greatest part of our surprise, while Davis, their giant fullback tendered most of the remainder. New Wilmington High was our first victim. On October 2, at Cascade Park the boys from the college town were defeated by a score of 38-3. The game was rather monotonous, being nothing less than a steady procession up and down the field by our husky warriors. Baer’s protege, Rosenblum, did most of the work. Rosenblum made 102 MEW11 three touchdowns. Horner, Hoskins and Vogan followed his example to the extent of one touchdown each. Our team went to Rochester, on October 9, and returned with a 7-0 victory. The game was marked by lusty cheering on the part of the few loyal supporters who made the journey with the team. “Bunny” came into the limelight by making our only touchdown and by kicking goal. October 16, Peabody High School defeated our team by the score 19-10. The score was a tie until the last half when, by means of two flukes, the Peabody aggregation obtained two touchdowns. Horner and Weide were the shining luminaries for New Castle; Horner, on account of his rapid running and dodging attack, and Weide because of his drop kick from the 30 yard line in the last fifteen minutes of play. The greatest gridiron struggle ever staged at Cascade Park took place on October 30, with Fifth Avenue High School of Pittsburgh as our worthy opponents. Horner and “Hub” again starred, Bill by making both of our touchdowns and Weide by doing most of the running. Fifth Avenue had a much heavier and more experienced team than we; although at a great disadvantage, our warriors outdid themselves, and their playing was a credit to themselves and our splendid High School. On November 5, New Castle High’s gridders motored to Grove City and defeated the Brown and White by a score of 13-0. Grove City showed lack of training as they had a poor line of plays. Horner and Weide both secured their usual touchdown and Bunny kicked one goal. New Brighton was simply ruined by New Castle High on November 13, the score was something like 47-7; their single touchdown was made in the last quarter when our second team was sent in against them. It was certainly a good practice game for New Castle as w’e tried out our whole assortment of plays and most of them were successful. On November 20, we made another disastrous expedition to Beaver Falls. The score of 9-0 does not tell much of the game, or the muddy condition of the playing field. G. Thomas was responsible in a large measure for our defeat as he made the only touchdown and kicked goal. Weide was not able to show' his usual good form on account of the heavy field. On Thanksgiving day the Freshman team of Washington and Jefferson College came here and was defeated by our team by a score of 88-7. Two N. C. H. S. 1915 boys were on the W. J. team and this added greatly to the interest in the game. Horner and B. Thompson made two touchdowns each and James Vogan made one.

Armstrong and Carpenter, of the 1916 class team made the varsity; Armstrong, as the largest man on the team was a tower of strength on the guard position, while Carpenter is one of best shots ever seen on the local gymnasium. 1917 was well represented by Hoskins and Thompson who played a rapid game and contributed strength to the team by their spirit of enthusiasm. McCarthy and Marso brought credit to the class of 1918. We played our first game of the season December 17, with Butler and were defeated, 34-27. Our team had one week’s practice and the majority were inexperienced men. Butler had an older team and won the game because of their superior ability in passing. On January 5, we defeated Freedom High School. The score of 36-10 does not tell much of the game. During the second half our boys did not try for the basket at all, but contented themselves with passing the ball around to each other; this bewildered our adversaries so much that they were entirely lost. McCarthy and Weide together obtained 32 of the entire 36 points. 105 On January 7th, New Castle High School defeated Geneva College by the score of 26-20. The visiting team was much older and had more experience in basketball. Geneva was leading at the end of the first half, and it was only by the most skillful playing that the Red and Black won the game. The Veterans returned on January 13 and defeated the Varsity by the score of 30-20. The first half ended with Captain Weide’s men in the lead; but the Alumni came back strong in the second half and won the game. Joe Wadsworth, ’15 was the bright luminary for the Alumni, he alone was responsible for 22 out of the 30 points. Ellwood City was completely outclassed on January 19, when they were defeated by the Varsity by a score of 43-16. Ellwood showed lack of team-work, shooting ability, and practice. Their men seemed bewildered by the strangeness of the floor. Captain Goodrich w-as the only man from the “Tube Town” who secured more than one field goal. Our forwards had things almost their own way and had all kinds of chances to make baskets. They did not pass up the opportunity as they had thirteen baskets between them. On January 22, our team visited Sewickley and was given dinner before the game started, which probably accounted for our defeat of 59-27. The treatment we received could not have been any better as our players were entertained in the homes of th Sewickley players. Our next trip was to Freedom on January 28, and we fared much better than at Sewickley as the score of 38-14 was in our favor. We were considerably handicapped by the smallness of the floor and the low ceiling, but nevertheless we played all around the Freedom team. “Hub” did most of the scoring for the Red and Black. On February 2, we went to Geneva College and w'ere defeated by a score of 30-23. The game waxed fast and furious for forty long minutes but when the smoke of battle had cleared away and the score-board was visible, Geneva led us by seven points. We took our revenge for the Geneva defeat on Grove City on February 4, when the score was 64-22 in our favor. New Castle took the lead at the beginning of the game and scored about twenty-five points before Grove City woke up. Hoskins succeeded in caging seven field goals during the game from his guard position. Hull was the only man who did very much for Grove City. We next fell prey to New Brighton on February 7, when we were forced to be content with the small end of 33-20 score. The game was anybody’s till the last quarter when New Brighton began dropping field goals through the basket from all angles. Hawkins, their center was the largest man our team ever played against. On February 15, we visited our enemy Beaver Falls and were defeated by the score 38-26. Houston was the man to whom we owe our defeat. He made 10 out of 18 attempts at free throws, beside several field goals. “Hub” made 20 out of our entire 26 points. We obtained ample revenge for New Brighton’s victory over us, when they visited here on February 18, we defeated them by a score of 32-21. New Castle may well be proud of her victory as New Brighton has been defeated but once before in a total of thirteen games; so it will be seen that we have a team that can compare with any in the Beaver Valley. The largest crowd of the season was in attendance showing that the interest of the student body is at last being obtained. They were certainly rewarded for being present as New Brighton was always in the game and the excitement ran high. On the evening of February 26, we defeated Sewickley by a score of 35-34. The game was not won till Referee Packard tooted his whistle at the end of the most exciting game ever seen here. First, New Castle would lead, then Sewickley would make a basket, making the entire game somewhat of a see-saw all the way. Mullen did the majority of the scoring and arguing for Sewickley while our entire team were on their toes all the time; ready for any play that Sewickley might make. February 29, Beaver Falls defeated us by a score of 43-25. Again it was Harr and Houston we have to thank for our defeat; they seemed to be everywhere all the time, everywhere our guards “weren’t.” Marso was our only player to get more than one field goal and if it had not been for “Hub’s” nearly perfect eye when shooting foul goals our score would have been much worse. On March 2, with two of our men out of the game on account of studies and injuries we barely pulled through with a 31-29 victory from Grove City. Hull and Gould made the entire 29 points of Grove City, while Weide and Thompson made most of ours. Several times during the game we were in danger of defeat. Most of Grove City’s scores were made by means of foul goals as our guards were always on their opponent’s heels. New' Castle High School advanced several notches in the w’orld of athletics on March 16, when she defeated the basketball team from Kiskiminetas Preparatory School. The members of the Kiski team were older and much more experienced than our boys, but w’hat we lacked in years we made up in passing ability, speed and agressiveness. Kiski has always occupied an enviable position in the athletic w'orld, and our victory will place the Red and Black on a par with the best High School and Preparatory Schools in the country. “Hub” and Thompson showed to best advantage for New Castle. THE CLASS CHAMPION BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM 108 THE SCHOOL GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM 109 flE-WII GIRLS’ BASKETBALL REVIEW. New Castle High School at last has a girls’ Varsity Basketball team! Contrary to general opinion, it has proved a means of bringing additional laurels to our school for, in the first year of its existence, it won the championship of Western Pennsylvania. Under the able coaching of Mr. Sankey, the girb worked hard and faithfully; they gave to the team “nothing but the best”—the key to their successful season. Miss Turner, who chaperoned the girls, assisted very much in making the team what it is. Of the varsity team, four of the girls are seniors and will be greatly missed next year. Helen Hughes, this year’s captain and center, Rozella Popp, the tall and agi’.e forward; Amelia Van Wert, the other active forward; and Dorothy White, the efficient and untiring manager. As a nucleus for next, year’s team there remain four girls; Mabel Alexander, captain-elect; Armada Toepfer, guard; Jean Fleming, short but capable; and Alfreda Young, the smallest girl on the team.

THE TRACK TEAM TRACK AND FIELD HISTORY—1916 In no line of sport this year has New Castle High shown more interest than in field and track athletics. A large squad of willing and faithful workers have reported for practice each evening. The size of the squad and co-operation of the students shows a growing interest in this phase of athletics. Most of the men out for positions on the team are of the three lower classes. Although this is not much of an advantage to the squad this year it promises great things for the future. The schedule for the season is: April 22, Invitation Meet, East Palestine. May 13, Lawrence County Meet at New Castle. May 20, Invitation Meet at University of Pittsburgh.

Did you do it?” Prisoner:—“Certainly not!” Judge:—“What did you do then? Prisoner:—“I hit him on the nasal organ attached thereto!” Miss Baker (planning the farce for the banquet) :—“Which of the Seniors is affected around the heart?” Quick Reply:—“All of ’em!” Claude had been promised a motor ride with his father, and his mother had sent him up-stairs to get ready. As he came down his mother asked: “Have you washed your face, Claude?” “Yes’m,” answered the boy. “And your hands?” queried the mother. “Yep,” said Claude. “And your neck?” persisted the mother. “Oh, see here mother,” said the boy in disgust,” I ain’t no angel.!” Bacon:—“I gave my wife a rainbow kiss when I left home this morning.” Egbert:—“What in the world is a rainbow kiss?” Bacon:—“One that follow's a storm.” During a concert tour of the late Theodore Thomas and his celebrated orchestra, one of the musicians died, and the following telegram was immediately dispatched to the parents of the deceased: “John Black died suddenly today.

Mrs. Kelly, angry at being interrupted in her w'ashing, flung open the door, and glowered at him. “Did yez wish to see me?” she demanded, in threating tones.

Mr. and Mrs. Blucher were discovered sitting alone the other day, reading Laura Jean Libbey’s advice! It has been reported that Suzanna Wendt. Is this true? We all know now that Arthur Eckles can pronounce “Retrospec tion.” A man’s standing in his community is what people say about him after he leaves a meeting. The time is soon coming when a man, no matter who his grandfather was, will have to stand on something higher than a sack of gold to lift himself above the crowd. The man who spends his evenings painting the town red, usually has a wife at home trying to whitewash w-hat is left of his reputation. Men with long faces are very seldom broad-minded. The woman w-hose husband told her that he always did his best w’ork when thinking of her, should have watched him beating the rugs last Saturday. The follies of their forefathers have more influence upon the present inhabitants of this earth than the well-being of posterity. An optimist is a man who, when every bone in his body aches, is glad he isn’t a shad. A pessimist should be treated with consideration and Nujol. The man who never dreams, never attempts the impossible. The man who never attempts the impossible, doesn’t progress. A person with nothing to commend him except his thorough respectability will dry up the well of your ideas. “Quiet in Wall Street”—Headline.

It must have been two decades since I went to the circus. Away from their regular haunts critics are tame cats. In the playhouse, armed with our little hammers, we are as brave as plumbers; but on a roof garden, at the circus, in church, during slumber, we are the mildest pirates that ever scuttled a play or forced innocent leading ladies to walk the critical plank. We go alone to the theatre with impunity, or with some other fellow’s girl,—but at the circus we need a nurse to show us the ropes and to keep us from the hoofs of the carnivorous elephant. It was a revelation when I drifted into Madison Square Garden the other day. I regretted that I was not a boy with dirty hands and a joyful heart. O! to recapture that first rapture—as Browning or some writing Johnny said of the circus. The circus is the one place on our muddy planet where rapture rimes with the ring. THE MAN HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN. Mike Murphy, being physically well equipped, had no difficulty landing the job of town sexton and holding it until the first burial. Then he was asked to sign the permit. “But, I can’t write,” explained Mike, and he was discharged. Through his execution of grading contracts, excavation work, and pavement building, however, Mike eventually became a man of means and a figure in his community. When he applied to the leading bank for a loan of $50,000, he was assured that he would be accommodated— and asked to sign the necessary notes. Again Mike had to say : “I can’t write.” “And you have accumulated all this wealth and position without knowing how to write,” said the banker. “What would you have been today had you known how to use a pen?” Mike paused but a moment, before returning the answer. “I would have been a sexton.” “He traced back his ancestry to William the Conqueror, in five min utes, on his cuffs!” Politician:—“I have nothing to say. All I know is what is in the papers.” Reporter:—“I see now what you meant yesterday when you said there is nothing in the papers nowadays.” Assistant:—“Shall I head this wedding story “Cupid and Hymen Inspired?” Editor:—“No; tell the truth.

ALL BUSINESS “Then I can be one of your pupils?” “Assuredly, sir, for ten crowns a lesson,” said the great artist. And a favorite pupil for two crowns extra.” The man who is thoroughly respectable is apt to be dangerous. HAPPINESS Happiness is the little, blue u'ayside flower on the highway to Nowhere. Happiness is the unexpected Master Violinist at the country dance—the will-’o-the-wisp on the meadow of life which vanishes utterly when you try to catch it. Happiness just comes unbidden, it is never secured. ALMOST SPEAKING “And have you a speaking part?” “Well, no, but it’s the next thing to it. In the first act, I raise my eyebrows, in the second, I shrug my shoulders, and in the third, I curl my lip.” A German grand-opera singer was arrested in Rotterdam and charged with smuggling, a side of bacon being found around her waist. Strange that anybody suspected her. The average grand-opera singer looks as though she had two, or even three, sides of bacon around her waist. A PEARL OF GREAT PRICE Mrs. Nextdoor:—“Your maid is a jewel. You must consider her worth her weight in gold.” Mrs. Homebody:—“Gold! Why I would not trade her for her weight in beefsteak.” “Judging from the looks of the bride, I take it that Sixcylinder married for money?” “Not money. Sixcylinder married for gasoline. Her father owns an oil well.” Clairvoyant:—“Why, of course, I can call up your wife’s ghost! But if you’d gone to Mme. Zaza, next door, she couldn’t!” Widower:—“Thanks! I’ll try Zaza!

Science has made enormous strides since then. TIME TO GO The Infant Terrible:—“If I wasn’t here I bet the gentleman would kiss you.” Sister (horrified):—“You impertinent boy! Go away this very instant! The Methodist Episcopal Conference plans to eliminate the devil from the ritual. Why not make it a sweeping proposition and eliminate the old fellow all together? Happiness is an immortal bobolink which sings forever in the roadside hedge; always there for us to hear, if we will only shut out for a moment all discordant sounds—like, for example, the clink of gold. —C. Roy Dickinson Lecturer (in small town) :—“Of course, you all know what the inside of a corpuscle is like.” Chairman of Meeting (interrupting) :—“Most of us do, but ye better explain it for the benefit of them as have never been inside one.” “Strange,” said the first tramp meditatively, “so few of our youthful dreams ever come true.” “Oh, I don’t know,” said his companion. “I can remember when I used to dream about wearin’ long pants, and now I guess I wear ’em longer than anyone else in the country.” As a steamer was leaving the harbor of Athens a young passenger approached the captain and pointing to the distant hills inquired:— “What is that white stuff on the hills, Captain?” “That is snow, Madam,” replied the captain. “Well,” remarked the lady. “I thought so myself, but a gentleman just now told me it was Greece.” 137 ME-W1! —_____ i jp CENTRAL LAUNDRY CO.

The lecturer raised his voice. “It is my belief,” he declared, “there isn’t a man in this audience who has ever done anything to prevent the destruction of our vast forests.” A timid-looking man arose in the rear of the hall and said:—“I— er—I’ve shot woodpeckers.” A gentleman farmer tells of a city lad who once worked for him. The lad was called one winter morning before dawn and told to harness the mule to the dearborn. The lad was too lazy to light the lantern, and in the dark he did not notice that one of the cows was in the stable with the mule. The farmer, impatient at the long delay, shouted from the house, “Billy, Billy! what are you doing?” “I can’t get the collar over the mule’s head,” yelled back Billy. “His ears are frozen.” HAIG AND HAGUE Mike:—“Sure, an’ the Irish troops are the foinest that bear arms in the war.” Sandy:—“A’weel, mon, and what of the Hee’landers?” Mike:—“Sure, they’re the foinest with bare legs.” A FAST WORKER Jenkins:—“My stenographer can write one hundred and fifty words a minute.” Tompkins:—“So can mine—but she doesn’t seem to care what the words are. WHERE THE ART CAME IN Frame-Maker:—“Is it true that the picture you just sold is a genuine work of art?

It would get money out of anybody.” “I simply compiled and adapted the letters my son sent me from college.” BOOK REVIEW Unquestionably the most popular book of this or any other season is the “Pocketbook.” It is bound in real leather. Its contents are limited. The Saturday edition generally has interesting contents. You bring it home to your wife and inside of fifteen minutes she has gone through it. No matter what its contents are she always wishes they were much more. The plot is one that centers on finance. It is gotten up in loose leaf form, with green leaves. And you lose the leaves before you have had the least chance to enjoy the plot. These leaves of the pocketbook are made to turn over—to your wife. She manages to get a smile out of it. But if you have taken out enough for a smile before she gets it, she is peeved. While it is a continued story, there is such a long wait between chapters that you get little fun out of it. And, anyway, it is not a man’s book. Woman always gets ten times as much out of it as a man.—Ex. ROUNDABOUT Necessity is the mother of invention and the hungry German told about in a biography recently published in England, illustrates the old adage anew. He was in an English restaurant, and wanted eggs for breakfast, but had forgotten the English word. So he got around the difficulty in the following way: “Vaiter, vot is dat valking in the yard?” “A rooster, sir.” “Oh! And vot do you call de rooster’s wife?” “The hen, sir.” “And vot do you call the children of the rooster and his wife?” “Chickens, sir.” “But vot you call de chickens before dey are chickens?” “Eggs, sir.” “Bring me two.” Miss Baker (to chorus) :—“On page 43, take hands and slide off.” 143 riE-'CrHMi REYMERS AND SAMOSET : FOR FINE ; j MILLINERY : —See— | CANDIES | Mrs. M.

They stood on the porch, in the moonlight. “You are determined?” he said, finally. “Yes, George, I think it is for the best that we do not see each other again.” “Do you love another?” “I do, George. I have promised my heart to Harold Updyke.” There was a moment’s silence. George stepped back and drew from his pocket a revolver, which glistened in the pale light. “George, George!” shrieked the girl. “What do you intend to do?” She took hold of his hand. “Not a great deal,” replied George calmly. “I have been calling on you for the last six months, Evelyn, and I have only exterminated about half the dogs in this neighborhood. I want you to take this gun and give it to Updyke. He may want to finish the rest of them.” Schmile, undt the vorld schmiles mit you; Laugh, undt the vorld vill roar; Howl, undt the vorld will leave you; Undt never come back any more; Ver all of us couldn’t be handsome; Nor all uv us vear goot clothes; But a schmile vas not expensive, Undt it covers a vorld of voes.—Ex.

Rowland Hill used to come to his chapel in a carriage. He got an anonymous letter rebuking him for this, because it was not the way his Heavenly Master traveled.

I should be delighted if you would drop in some evening.” “Did I not give you a flogging the other day?” said a schoolmaster to a trembling boy. “Yes, sir,” answered the boy. “Well what do the scriptures say upon the subject?” “I don’t know unless it said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” “You never saw my hands as dirty as that,” said a mother, reproachfully to her little eight-year-old girl. “Cause I never saw you when you was a little girl,” wras the prompt reply.

Bobby pondered deeply for a moment, and then said, “What is she mamma, Faith or Hope?” Two scholars were disputing a subject and one accused the other of using his wit in the controversy. He answered:—“Well suppose it had pleased God to give you wit, what w’ould you have done?” Miss Baker (Probing for a quotation from Burke) :—“You wan! to skip school, yet you don’t.

Just a word in regard to the retail dry goods business, or what is known as j the Department Store, which most graduates for some reason, look upon I with disfavor, or at least seldom consider. There are as large, if not larger op- j portunities in this line than in the professions—law, medicine, etc. The de- j partment stores today are crying out for educated, energetic, brainy young men, j as advertising writers, where salaries run up to $10,000.00 a year in larger J stores, as department heads or buyers, as window display men who in larger j stores have a force of assistants under them, as credit men, office men, etc. ] In our opinion, there is more need for good men in this line and a greater J future here for that reason than in the professions, and other lines of work j which are to some extent overcrowded. ! Consider this. j J. N. EUWER’S SON’S SONS, j H. G. EUWER. 'riE-wii DID HE GO?
