I pledge allegiance to my Flag, And to the Republic for which It stands, One Nation indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all. And for this we give our hands. Our heads and our hearts, to our God, Our Country and our Flag; One God, one Country and one Flag. 1735 rriKmir T O (0«r $uldirr Sliufii who are so fearlessly daring to defend our Country, Slip (Ulass nf 19ir loyally dedicates Nr-ffia-ISt 5 nil G= a 6 r tlE-WII TO THE SENIORS For three years we have been associated in a relation most intimate and pleasant. During this time we have had many questions to decide, many problems to solve. It is a source of great satisfaction and pride, that I can tell you now on the eve of your graduation, that in all things your decisions were always for the school’s best interests. The record you leave the school attests your cooperation with your leader. The traditions handed down by previous classes to you have been preserved and the standards in all lines not only maintained but even raised to a higher plane. When has there been a greater earnestness in class work than that shown by the Class of Seventeen? When have the athletic teams given a better account of themselves; and in passing let me ask when has so large a number of pupils in the New Castle High School actively participated in athletics? When has a class play equaled your presentation of “Much Ado About Nothing”? And the opera, “The Mikado,” even surprised your Principal, so well was it done. The Monitor? I have no hesitancy in saying, that the Monitor throughout the entire year 1916-1917 has been the most uniformly good high school publication I have ever known. For your virtues, my friends, we praise you. For your faults, which we trust are few, we censure. And for your loyalty to your Principal in his efforts to give you the best school possible, you have his sincere gratitude. Accept my congratulations upon your graduation from high school. You have attained this honor only through hard and continuous effort. But if you have learned the lesson of hard work; if you have learned to enjoy hard work; if you have learned to keep your heart singing while working, your future is assured. Graduation means that you have persisted at your task until its successful completion. You may soon forget most of the facts learned in your daily lessons. You may not find any practical applications for the work pursued during your high school course. What matters that? If your high school course has taught you the lesson of hard work; if you have gained from your four years spent here, the power to attack a problem and “stick to it” until you have thought it through to a successful solution, you are eminently worthy of your diploma. This power is yours, if you have earned it. If not, your diploma will but mock you for the time wasted. The time has come to say goodbye. This I do with a heavy heart, for our three years of most pleasant, harmonious, devoted relations, have endeared you all to me. Live up to all I believe you are. Live up to all you hope to be. Live true to your best ideals. Keep your mind and body pure, your heart true, your soul noble. Keep ever before you as your guiding principle through life, your school motto: NOTHING BUT THE BEST “Friends must part and strangers meet; Ties be broken that once were sweet; Things must change from old to new; And the best of friends must bid adieu.” J. L. THALMAN. 7 ■i EZtEQjl -syLjp T O iflr. Jrmtk 1C. (!)rtli The Class of 1917 wishes to express its appreciation for his faithful work in the financial department of The Monitor and The Ne-Ca-Hi. Mr. Orth has spent many years at New Castle High School, during which time his efficient work has been a powerful factor in raising the standard of The Monitor. Through this, the Senior year book, the Seniors of 1917 wish to express their gratitude to Mr. Orth. 9 u THE FACULTY fZtffiSM -SijL HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY JOSEPH LUTHER THALMAN PRINCIPAL Baer, C.

T O jlnsrplt Hutln'r aliahttan With heavy hearts the students of New Castle High School bid farewell to their Principal, Joseph Luther Thalman. For three happy years Mr. Thalman has guided New Castle High through triumph and disaster, instilling into the student mind the highest of thoughts, and into the student heart the noblest of ideals. These boys and girls admire Mr. Thalman as a man; they respect him as their principal, and they love him as their friend. To him, whose every movement has been inspired by their interests, the students of New Castle High School bid au revoir, with grateful appreciation for his help and friendship in the past, with all good wishes for health and happiness in the future.

Because we were not allowed to organize, very little of importance was done during the year 1914-15. Nevertheless w’e were busily laying the foundations of the glorious structure which now stands under the banner of 1918. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we organized and elected as our president, Harvey Harmon. Under his able leadership the voice of the Sophomores became important in school affairs. We were perhaps the most successful in social events of the school, although the many names which appeared on the honor roll gave evidence of our ability as scholars. Many members of our class also proved their prowess as athletes. Howrever, it has been our Junior year in which we have been so successful as to become really famous. This year we have led the school in athletics. Many members of our class have appeared on the football team and on the Varsity basketball team. The Junior boys defeated their able rivals, the Seniors, thereby winning the championship, while the Junior girls won the championship without a single defeat. The Junior prom gave evidences of our social ability, while we have not lagged behind in scholarship. We have earnestly tried to do our part in making every undertaking of this school a success, and we hope that we have, in some measure, achieved our aim: “To make New’ Castle High School better for our being here.” This year our officers have been as follows: Harvey Harmon ) President William Morgan --------------- resident Johnray Preston....................Treasurer Aelred Marso..................... Secretary Lawrence Thompson................Cheerleader r E-OT1� T CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED NINETEEN Contrary to superstition, the thirteenth of September, 1915, was by no means an unlucky day in the fortunes of the Class of 1919; for it was on that day that we made our first appearance, as a class, in New Castle High. We possessed the usual ignorance of newcomers, but soon we grew accustomed to high school and its complications. Shortly before the second semester we were allowed to organize—a privilege which had not been granted to any Freshman class for the preceding four years. We contributed freely of our members to football and track, while many Freshmen helped to make the “Pinafore” a success. We enjoyed our Freshman year; we endeavored to please the faculty and to obtain high rank in our class rooms. As wise and pompous Sophomores we returned to school the next fall. Again we elected class officers for the year, and chose as our class colors. Purple and White. We have shown our worth in literary standards; we have proved our ability in dramatics in the Mikado; many names from our ranks adorn the honor roll; we have helped in social affairs and aided The Monitor at the County Fair; we have been represented well in all athletics.

At the close of the Freshman year, they feel bright at the prospect of becoming second year students. They organized during the latter part of the term. This class is the largest ever enrolled in New Castle High School, although the number has been decreased a little because of sickness and other reasons. Both boys and girls responded enthusiastically to athletics in which the class was well represented. The orchestra, assembly programs, The Monitor, various clubs, and all school activities have felt the influence of the class of 1920 this year. The officers of the year were: President............

Every nation faces the problem of maintaining the principles for which its flag was unfurled; principles that must be supported at all hazards. Rights that pertain to the lives of citizens and to the pursuits of business, are rights that every nation must defend within its own borders as well as without. No nation can trample under foot the rights of another and still expect or demand the respect of the injured nation. The rights of nations are as of individuals; individuals have certain inalienable rights that must not be surrendered whatever may be the inclination to do otherwise. When national and international law’ are trampled under the feet of nations and are not regarded as the most cherished possession of a nation, a serious condition has arisen. Such a crisis has come before us; our principles of peace and liberty, of freedom of the seas, and the protection of the weak and helpless have been cast to the four winds by another nation. Shall we defend our country? Were not these principles honorably defended when we were but an infant nation? Our forefathers heralded freedom as the goal w'hen they set sail in the Mayflower, and again when they fought the fight for liberty in 1776. The Declaration of Independence was a document framed and hurled at a British king. This parchment was written in defense of the same sense of justice that had brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock. We have in the past upheld our intentions of sailing the seas unmolested; first in 1812 and again in the war with the Barbary States. This nest of pirates had been accustomed to exact tribute from the world, but again the U. S. objected and submitted our ideas of freedom of the seas and we opposed them so strenuously that the point has not been questioned until a very recent time. Our idea of insisting upon international honor was manifested when the Monroe Doctrine was adopted. The United States by this doctrine took the weaker nations of the Western World under the shadow of the wings of the American Eagle. 52 riE-wir The ideals of our country have been given the same thoughtful consideration in the past as they are receiving now. The present calamity may be compared with the proposition that was before Madison in 1812. As President, he was opposed to having war so soon after thj Revolutionary War, yet he deemed it wise that we should defend our freedom of the seas. Lincoln spent unmeasurable energy in trying to prevent the Civil War and for the preservation of the Union without bloodshed, yet do we ever question but what the value was equal to the cost? In the Spanish-Amerfcan war our honor was at stake, for we. as the guardians of the Western Hemisphere, were duly bound to interfere. Were not the rewards of this intervention sufficient returns for the trouble and a proof of what course we should now pursue? Our present relations with Germany necessitate the defense of our National Honor. For this we are struggling in preparing for a war against that nation. We must indicate to the foreigner upon our shores that we are at war for one great cause, and only one: that of defending our National Honor. Let us impress upon the stranger’s mind that we have not entered this war with any desire for conquest or any rancor in our souls, but to fight for world peace, a peace that we will gladly share with all mankind. To win this contest we must respond willingly to the decision of our government. No more honorable way exists to prove to the eyes of the world our loyalty to our government than to obey those in command. There are many ways in which we can defend our National Honor. We have wealth, power and patriotism. Wealth will prove a great factor in deciding this struggle, for, by aiding the Allies, we have, with millions of dollars, strengthened our own efforts. Our power lies in our army, our navy and our industries. Our men have shown how they will stand by their colors in their ready enlistment both in the army and navy. They are brave and loyal and even the terrific amount of bloodshed in the past few years has not dampened their ardor to fight for their nation. No country can boast of greater industries than the United States. From them we can equip our men for the most skilled fighting. The third factor in defense of our National Honor is the patriotism which enlists the support of every man, woman and child. Have they shown their patriotism? Not always, for is it patriotism when men will corner our food supplies, deliberately oppose important measures in Congress, and scheme to hoard the money of the country for their own business interests? No, that is allowing selfish motives to crowd the finer principles of our Country into the back-ground. Patriotism finds ample expression in the Red Cross Society. Men, women and children all over the country are making sacrifices that this great work may continue and National Honor be promoted. We must economize in our food supply so that the United States can help feed the Allies. No less costly and yet no more honorable way exists in which we can help the sufferers than by feeding them. If everyone enlists in the patriotic move of increasing and after increasing the food supply, in conserving it, we can render an inestimable amount of good to the struggling nations. This war can be fought with the hoe as well as with the gun. Our knowledge of the situation is sadly deficient. So great are we and so far away from 53 m mt the scenes of strife that we cannot conceive of being in serious danger. This lack of knowledge has led to a seeming lack of patriotism. Germany’s idea of honor does not compare with ours. Germany’s ideals were to establish a world power gained by semi-civilized methods. The deeds of the last thirty months have stamped this race of Northern Europe as the heroes of the most notorious insults heaped upon nations in the records of history. They are at the present time murdering nature. For in the towns that they capture every sign of life is destroyed, even to the shade trees along the streets. We base our ideals on democracy while Germany is striving to promote its cause with a government carried on by a few. America’s principle is peace, a world of peace with privileges to all alike. The masses of humanity have been stirred up by a war, the equal of which the world has never witnessed. The clear sky of world peace has been blackened with the darkest of clouds—clouds that indicate that if the American Emblem is to shine forth through the gloom we must always be honor bright. Men must stand by their emblem of liberty, truth and honor and at no time permit their colors to trail in the dust of dishonor. American rights, American institutions, and the American flag are worthy of being upheld by National Defense and United Loyalty. 54 r riKTHii SONG OF NINETEEN HUNDRED SEVENTEEN By EVEA COULTER Tune: “Hail Pennsylvania’’ Hail!

We have had our rightful share in creating renowned events. To me has fallen the task as well as the pleasure of writing the history of this illustrious class of nineteen hundred and seventeen. As the booming of the cannon startles the soldier who has just entered the field, so the spacious halls with their many doors, numerous broad staircases, legions of students rushing to and fro, well nigh appalled us when we first entered the High School as Freshmen in the fall of nineteen hundred and thirteen. The very atmosphere gave us a strange feeling and the echoing of our voices frightened us timid, young creatures. When perchance we entered the wrong door we stood abashed and with fluttering hearts turned and fled from the disgusted countenances of the Seniors. Our ideas yet were very primitive as wfe thought of school only as a place of torture. Later, however, we came to see that the High School was a place where the latent faculties in us were to be developed. Like all Freshmen, we had our trials and tribulations. The Sophomores in revenge for their Freshmen troubles attempted in a like manner to frighten us. On the night before Hallowe’en great posters appeared in the High School building and in numerous places over the North Hill, warning us to stay within our own domiciles for several nights. Some of us were silly enough to heed the warning, but those of our number who were bold and fearless proceeded to tear down these cruel omens and remained out later than usual. Just here we will not mention the fate of our tormentors. We were not deemed to be capable of class organization, but were allowed to play in the gymnasium which was opened during that year for the first time for athletic purposes. During the second year of our conflict we effected a class organization, selecting William Horner to serve as captain of our regiment of volunteers. As we marched to our book-battles our newly selected class colors, red and white, proudly waved before us. The year passed by very rapidly and happily under the direction of our new principal, Mr. Thalman. Our Junior year is one of the brightest periods of our history. Every one remembers our banquet given to the Seniors of nineteen hundred and sixteen in the High School building. The lower hall, where 56 W. nKmiiTl the tempting viands were served, was transformed into a small woodland. The gymnasium, where there were forms of entertainment for everyone, was beautifully decorated with green boughs intertwined with the colors of both classes. A very amusing feature of the evening was a farce—“The Senior,”—given by several of our class mates. The last year to be recorded is crowned with many history making events. When we first assembled within these walls as Seniors we were impressed with the fact that no longer were there upper-classmen to whom we might look as our examples, but instead, it behooved us to conduct ourselves in such a manner as to be worthy patterns for the under-classmen. The leader of our batallion during this year was Kenneth Miller, who with the co-operation of our worthy members encouraged us to win many conquests. Our numbers during this year were increased very materially by the addition of companies from Eastbrook, Harlansburg and Tarentum. To the fresh recruits of the High School, who comprise the class of nineteen hundred and twenty, we gave a reception in the High School building. By way of initiating them into a skillful manner of detecting the absence of brains, a farce entitled “The Merchant of Venice up to Date” was enacted by a number of our class-mates. The remainder of the evening was spent in exchanging autographs. On Senior Day we officially announced to the school the awe and esteem in which we were to be held and deigned to pass to the underclassmen some valuable advice. During the chapel exercises of the morning we instructed the Freshmen as to their duties as students of the High School telling them that in order to be able to get their lessons well and be on the honor roll they must never be out after nine o’clock; to be loyal to the “Monitor”—every one of them should always hand in some material; to be loyal supporters of the High School Athletics they should attend every foot-ball and basket-ball game. The Freshmen have nobly heeded this friendly advice for they are among the most loyal members of the school. Later in the day, we feasted in the biology laboratory with the faculty members as our guests, and at this time the girls instructed the boys in the art of house-cleaning. The class of seventeen has proved that they are possessed of unusual dramatic ability. This was exhibited at the Senior Class Play, Shakespeare’s comedy, “Much Ado About Nothing.” Many stars shone brightly; especially dazzling were Edward Vandegrift as constable, and William Horner, a professed woman-hater, who was captured by Cupid’s arrows in the form of the witty sayings of Luceile Rawlins. In all the scenery and costumes were so beautiful, the staging and portrayal of characters so wonderful for amateurs, that we can safely boast of the best play ever given in the High School. Much spirit was displayed at all athletic games during this year, especially at the basket-ball games between the Juniors and Seniors. It is only fair that we should mention such athletes as Horner, Vogan, Hoskins, Vandegrift, Miller and Nelson. We assure you that it will be a difficult thing, for years to come, to form a foot-ball, basket-ball or track-team without the aid of our skilled players. The girls’ varsity 57 EsJBfe. nEWIITl- basket-ball team will also feel heavily the losses sustained in the absence of Mabel Alexander, Corrine Streib and Alfreeda Young. In football our soldiers, under fire and shell, have captured many trenches from the enemy in Sharon, New Brighton, Ellwood City, Beaver Falls and Pittsburg. Some months ago an organization known as the “Senior Senate”, consisting of five members, was formed. It was the duty of these officers to court martial those members who transgressed the code of rules by being absent after reveille had been sounded. The “Senate” has not been compelled to hold many court proceedings as the members of our regiment have been very punctual in their attendance upon duties. One of the most praiseworthy features of our Senior year has been the publication of our School Paper, “The Monitor.” For the first time in its history the paper has had for its editor, a girl, Bessie Rosenblum. It has been largely due to her untiring efforts, the staff, the hearty cooperation of the faculty and our principal that the paper has been raised to a higher standard of efficiency than ever before. The crowming event of our social life during our High School course was the banquet and reception tendered us by the class of nineteen hundred and eighteen at the Elks Club. A sumptuous dinner was served us after which we were roasted and toasted. The evening was spent in the ball-room where dancing was indulged in until a late hour. Further than this we had the pleasure of listening to a Spanish farce, “By their words ye shall know them.” The Juniors proved themselves royal entertainers in making our last social affair in the High School a great success. Many expressed their regrets that this was to be our last Junior-Senior banquet and that our history was drawing so near a close that we were to give place to others. From the time we were “Little green w'eeds that spring up in September,” until our present dignity of Senior-ship, we have always impressed upon the minds of everyone the superior qualities of this class. Our teachers will give assent to the fact that there never was a class more versatile than this one seated on the platform. With our graduation tomorrow but one epoch in our history will be closed. We must leave the rest to the future. Our account has been sufficiently detailed to be very authentic proof to our successors that the most illustrious group of students that was ever graduated from the New Castle High School was the class of nineteen hundred and seventeen. And as our actions during our High School course toward the faculty and the under-classmen have been impelled by our school motto, “Nothing but the Best,” so in the future may it be the touchstone of our lives. 58 nE- ntii By LOLA McCLINTOCK A real Hindu, in native costume and possessing the mystic power of prophecy, was stopping at the Fountain Inn. Rumors regarding his power to foretell future events were being circulated in New Castle, and a great many people ventured to have him disclose their fates. It was mainly curiosity that induced a few of my friends and me to seek this mysterious person for consultation regarding the future. The room into which we were ushered was Oriental in every detail with rich rugs and hangings and odd little ornaments carved from ivory. A tall statue-like figure, with head bound in a red turban and wearing a richly embroidered robe, advanced to meet us, and with a wave of his long slim hand, motioned for us to be seated. He then asked us in a low voice whose future we wished disclosed to us. We sat in silence for a while, each waiting for the other to speak. Suddenly I thought of the class of 1917 and, hesitating a little, asked him to unfold to me the future of that remarkable class. From one corner of the room he moved a small stand over to us. On it was a large object covered with a dark cloth. When he removed the cloth we beheld a huge crystal globe which cast a strange white light over the room. As we gazed into the glistening ball we forgot our immediate surroundings and everything save the wonderful things revealed to us in its depths. A long army was seen approaching, led by Dana Cox, Ambrose Cox and Howard Cox. Many of the men carried banners inscribed with such phrases as “On to Washington” and “Coxey’s Courageous Army Shall Conquer.” A martial band brought up the rear of the procession and in it I recognized James Duff playing the cornet; James Vogan the saxaphone, and Edward Bleakley the bass drum. But who were the women who were patiently following the army and also waving large banners in the air? Among them were surely our old friends, Ina Weigle, Elsie Wooley, Edith Emery and Agnes Haun, still following the leaders. Now we were given a glimpse of a large military camp where Generals Haltnorth and Gunton were holding a serious consultation concerning important war movements. It was here that Dorothy Stahl, Mary Fisher, Mable Alexander, Helen Zehner and Grace Hall were stationed as Red Cross nurses. Lumen Popp had gallantly given over his cherished Ford for transporting wounded soldiers and had been rewarded with the office of chaplain. 69 r ne-wii A great number were taking an active part in politics. Bowman Carpenter, William Swisher, Frank Fazzone and David Byler were really “Big Men” in Congress, while Harold Hoover had reached the enviable position of Speaker of the House. The class was well represented in the local government of New Castle, with Alfreeda Young as Mayoress; Thomas Francis as the burly Chief of Police, and Beulah Norris as Patrol Driver. Clyde Sadler, Ralph Friedman and Harold Bryan, known as the “Terrible Trio,” were desperate air pirates and the terror of all aeroplane owners of the world. Laura Bell, Amy Druschel, Cecelia Lewis, Katherine Wirsing, Margaret McCreary and Annie Ketzel, all of whom are inclined to be very frivolous, were successful dancers in musical comedy. As the ball revolved bright lights were visible in the forms of Wendell Shoaf, Samuel Bleakley, Ralph McBride, Charles Jordan and Neal Edie, who had founded an Agricultural School and were engaged in the hopeless undertaking of converting William Horner into a farmer. Another member of the class engaged in educational pursuits was Ruth Shafer, who was President of a large University, in which Norman Nelson, Helen Peterson and Arthur Dunn were instructors of classical languages. Lillian Friedman, Earl Cover and Lowry Eckles, who had always possessed a remarkable understanding of the German language, were efficient teachers of the subject in the same University. Peg Crill, Adelaide Barber and Geraldine Bauman had given up their search for a perfect husband and were founding a home for friendless animals. Bessie Rosenblum, in co-operation with Lester Wolford and Elizabeth Matthews, was editing an educational almanac that promised to excel even the publication of the Monitor during the winter of 1916-17. Fred Poister, Chester Grigsby and Howard Fisher were employed in determining the number of feet of rail necessary to build an underground railroad to India. Doris McCabe and Evea Coulter,w.ere in Paris where their wonderful paintings were recognized as priceless works of art. David Leonardson, another of our artists, was bent over his tools, drawing animated cartoons for a well known motion picture company. Marian Patterson, Frances Andrews, Helen Yeager, Frances Park and Marguerite Knobloch, who were doing missionary work in Iceland, were doing their utmost to thaw out the cold hearts of the people there. Margaret Flaherty had married a Russian Count but was still delighting the world with her poems. Quite a few of our members were enjoying the freedom of circus life. Helen Flynn and Eugenia Long, as famous snake charmers, had not yet been eaten alive by the snakes. Joseph Weinschenk and David Hoskins were animal trainers, while Lyle Hughes, with his educated seals, was a special attraction. Agnes Nesbitt was at work on a history of the world which was to be finished by the year 1999 at the very latest. Allurah Leslie had completed a poetical translation of Virgil’s Aeneid, which surpassed even that of Dryden. 60 fljv .oft _L nE-wii -gaD. jp Clare Locke and John Breolet were great philosophers and their essays were recognized as being the most incomprehensible ever written. Kenneth Miller and Louis Kohler were sojourning in the South Sea Islands and were making quite a prolonged stay in Hawaii. Several members of the class were happily married, Mary Hill, Florence Shields, Corinne Strieb, and Sally Ketzel, all to enterprising young men of the 1916 class. George McCulla and Vincent Malloy, who had married suffragettes, were becoming skilled in the art of housekeeping. I was very sorry to learn that our two inseparable Elsies had drifted apart. Elsie Leonard had married an explorer who had cruelly taken her off to the Antarctic regions, while Elsie Lennig was still in New Castle teaching in the grade schools. David Young was a distinguished attorney with hopes of becoming Attorney General of the United States. Luceile Rawlins was rapidly gaining fame as a brilliant opera star, while Edward Vandegrift had become the foremost comedian of the world. Harriet Dunlap, Rosa Miller, Pauline Rhodes, Anna Cohen, Esther McIntyre and Jessie Robinson were touring the United States, lecturing on such interesting subjects as “The Impropriety of the Idiosyncrasies of the Independent Industries.” Kenneth Butler, who had purchased a large mine somewhere in the west, had gone there to look after his many interests in that section of the country. As the last faint outlines of the strange picture disappeared, the crystal globe gleamed with a beautiful rose colored light which was immediately replaced by the pale white light. Once more the familiar faces of my companions became visible. The silence that had formerly prevailed was interrupted by numberless questions and exclamations of surprise and pleasure. The mysterious Hindu, unsmiling and motionless, stood quietly by without explanation. He then encased the ball, which had foretold the future of the class of 1917, in its ugly dark cover. The room, in its wierd furnishings, became darker as the illuminating rays of the globe were hidden, and, without a word, our unusual host led his wondering, half-frightened guests to the door. 61 “THE TASK COMPLETED” By MARGARET ALLA FLAHERTY The task is done; and still we feel the thrill That made the toil a pleasure; yet our dreams Must added prophecy in part fulfill:— For now the future but a shadow seems. In which the part is never made the whole, Where all unworthy things are purged away. Until the heart’s clear flame makes bright the goal That fate has destined, in some hidden way. The morning of a summer’s day is fair,— And so is youth,—the dawn of every life: A time of dreams, and castles of the air, Of joy in conquest,—youth’s impulsive strife; Then noontide’s sun shines in the summer sky, The middle age that is fulfillment’s song:— While setting sun brings peace,—and night is nigh ; Old age and darkness, that both come ere long. When noon-tide comes,—a well deserved pride Makes him content, who strives with eager zeal; Who works in loyalty at comrade’s side. And does not hate or envy ever feel:— Who seeks reward, but will not truth betray, Nor ceases in his love of what is just,— While life to him is real from day to day, And everyone may be a friend to trust. mctmi ■aD vp And then night draws the curtains of the sky, The stars shine clear, ’round waning silver moon ; The earth lies hushed; forgetting joy and sigh; While mortals ask that rest may now come soon; Oh toilers! lay aside your weary task— Forget its stern demands, until the sun Shall light this world of yours again, and ask Renewal of the work that waits undone. So life is all a contest, in its round Of days that hold in store both hopes and fears; And he who wins may ever wear the crown Of faithful service done through all the years. And so we toiled in youth’s impulsive way, While time brought wisdom and a clearer light; For we have seen the goal—and now can say That life is good to those who seek the right. We, the Class of 1917 of New Castle High School, of the City of New Castle, County of Lawrence, and State of Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and discretion, and realizing that the time of dissolution is near, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills by us heretofore made: 1. We direct that our memory be cherished in N. C. H. S. and that our funeral shall not cost more than the expenses. 2.

And now, this 19th day of June, A. D. 1917, the testators in the above will, as an evidence of the respect and awe in which they hold us, ask us to witness the same as their last will and testament, which we hereby do, signing our names in the presence of each other. J. L. THALMAN, F. L. ORTH M. D. KEAST. 67 THE YEAR 1916-1917 The Monitor staff of 1917 has completed an eventful year of journalism in New Castle High School. Many things have been accomplished ; a few changes have taken place. At the beginning of the year a filing cabinet was bought, for use in Monitor work. This has proved a great help and has filled a long-felt want. On Thursday, February 22, The Monitor was well represented at a Get-Together banquet of journalists at Youngstown, Ohio. On Friday and Saturday, April 20 and 21, a number of Juniors and Seniors, accompanied by Mr. Thalman and Miss Keast, represented New Castle High School at the annual convention of The North Central Association of High School Journalists at East Liverpool, Ohio. On Friday, April 13, a County Fair w as held in the High School under the auspices of The Monitor. Owing to the enthusiastic co-operation of all the classes and the faculty, the Fair was a splendid social and financial success. The staff secured this year the privilege of mailing The Monitor under second-class postage rates. This will continue to be of advantage to The Monitor in years to come. Again the staff expresses its gratitude for the help of Mr. Thalman, Miss Keast, Mr. Orth, Miss Marm, and all other members of the faculty and student body, who have helped to make the 1916-1917 year of The Monitor a success. THE HIGH SCHOOL CADETS The newest organization in New Castle High bears the name of The High School Cadets. The High School boys appreciate the policy of preparedness. Three afternoons each week about fifty-four boys devote a fewr hours of their time to military training. This is but one thing representative of the High School’s support of all patriotic movements of our town. This is a good thing to see in the school. May The High School Cadets be successful in all their undertakings. 68 —arrnKfflii THE COMMERCIAL SIDE OF IT We would like to call the reader’s attention to the advertising pages of this book. We heartily thank the business men of New Castle for their patronage, which all loyal High School students should reciprocate in good measure. Without the advertising department such a book as The Ne-Ca-Hi would be almost impossible. Let the High School students join in showing their appreciation to the advertisers. THE NE-CA-HI The fifth volume of the year-book of New Castle High School is unfolded for your approval. Hard work and faithful co-operation have created this book. Those who have worked for its consummation offer no apology—they offer you the result of their best effort. For the second time since its origination in our school, the annual bears the name, Ne-Ca-Hi, symbolic of the fact that it represents all the phases of our High School life. Though essentially a Senior publication, this book attempts to include every class and institution in N. C. H. S. The Ne-Ca-Hi is, therefore, the culmination of our effort and the best review of the year’s work that we can offer. 69 ----1 'iiko-hi -Qi JT WHO’S WHO CLASS OF 1917 CLASS OF 1919 President Kenneth Miller President Lysle Newbury Mahpl Alexander Vice-President Marvin Richeal Lola McClintock Secretary Lucille Nesbitt Kenneth Butler Treasurer Elizabeth Kirk Cheer Leader Lumen Popp Cheer Leader George Kimball Color Bearer James Vogan CLASS OF 1918 CLASS OF 1920 President William Morgan President Paul Wilson Vice-President Armada Toepfer Vice-President Walter Watkins Secretary Aelred Marso Secretary Lauren Thayer Treasurer Johnray Preston Treasurer William Hillborn Cheer Leader Lawrence Thompson HI-Y LATIN CLUB President Johnray Preston President Thomas Francis Vice-President .

The Class of 1915 successfully acted “Twelfth Night”; the Class of 1916 cleverly performed “As You Like It,” but the Class of 1917 artistically played “Much Ado About Nothing.” Not an opportunity offered by this many-sided comedy was overlooked. The devout Friar Frances (Lumen Popp) ; the foolish, simple-minded watchmen and constables (James Vogan, Bowman Carpenter, Edward Vandergrift and Samuel Bleakley) ; the cynical Benedick, who finally ceased to be scornful of the effects of love (William Horner) ; the sharp-tongued, quick-retorting Beatrice (Luceile Rawlins) ; the too-susceptible, over-suspicious Claudio (Lester Wolford) ; the villain, Don John, with his accomplices, Borachio and Conrade (Dana Cox, Clyde Sadler and Ren wick Galbraith) ; the too-forgiving brother, Don Pedro, Prince of Arragon (Harold Hoover), made so much ado about nothing that the meek and trusting Hero (Bessie Rosenblum), with her father, Leonato, and her uncle, Antonio (Thomas Francis and Harold Bryan), had much about which to make ado. The dancers, the choristers, the attendants and the orchestra had not the least to do in making this comedy, which might have been a tragedy, seem very real to the audience.

The members of the Glee Club, trained by Miss Baker, with the members of the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Kurtz, presented the opera in a manner that made the production one of the most successful ever given in the school. Three weeks later, Tuesday, May 22, the opera was repeated for the benefit of the Lawrence Chapter of the American Red Cross Society. The play was presented in even a more successful manner than the first production. In the second production, George McCulla took the place of Samuel Bleakley.

In THE HI-Y CLUB The past year has been the most successful that the Hi-Y Club has yet had. The enthusiasm and spirit shown account for the success of the Club, which has increased greatly in members. It has been the ideal of the Club to instill into the High School boys the three-fold life; that is, to develop the spirit by Bible study, the mind by speeches on the different vocations of life, and the body by the dinner. A feature of this year's program was a banquet given in honor of Mr. George Carhart, who was leaving the city. The annual election of officers resulted in the following: President......................Johnray Preston Vice-President ...

The Club is composed of boys from the Senior and Junior classes. It is the purpose of the Club to develop the art of public speaking and to learn something of parliamentary law. This has been accomplished by means of parliamentary drills, speeches, debates, and readings. The society has been a marked success in the year 1916-1917 ; if the enthusiasm continues, it is bound to be even more successful in the future. OFFICERS President.............

The more progressive high schools throughout the country are working together to have Latin maintain a prominent place in school courses. We feel, in organizing this Latin Club, that we have done our bit toward furthering the interest in Latin in this school. The second and third year pupils have been shown how essential the fourih year Latin really is and fourth year students have been urged to continue Latin in their college courses. The Latin Club has met every two weeks. At this a regular business meeting was conducted. After the business meeting a social program was arranged. Much benefit, we know, has been derived from the talks on the Roman: his house, clothing, meals, literature and art. Comparison and contrasts have been given between the ancient and modern methods of war-fare, housekeeping and literature. We Seniors feel very proud that we have had a part in this first year of the Latin Club. Our wish is that next year you may all achieve more and have a better and larger organization.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club was organized at the end of the first semester in order to make the commercial students better acquainted with one another by having them realize the interdependence of the different classes in the department. The programs have aimed to familiarize the students with the different branches of work in which they may engage after leaving school. In addition to the theoretical work the Club had a practical lesson when they went on an excursion through the Knitting Mills where the entire process of the industry was explained.

With eight victories and one defeat to their credit, and among these the fastest teams in Western Pennsylvania, our team made an excellent showing. Our team was of championship calibre and had it not been for one single fluke we would have had the coveted trophy within our reach. In this team, it was mostly the men of ’17 to whom the main honor is due. In Horner, Frew, Hoskins, Vogan, Nelson, Butler and a few second string men, we had as fast a bunch of huskies as is obtainable. After one day of school, we opened our season with East Liverpool, and defeated them 22-0. In this game our team w'as not very well organized, but through superioY grit and Coach °- V‘ (Dan) Boone spirit was the game decided. Now and then Horner or Vogan would pull something which drew the grandstand applause, while Kidder and Fess played well for the visitors. In our next game with Beaver, crippled by the absence of Captain Rosenblum, we were held to a scoreless tie. The game had very few interesting features except when our backs started to make things lively for the opposing line. Hoskins played well, backing up the line to good advantage. Ellwood was our next victim, going down to defeat by the score of 30-0. Our fellows drove down the field w'ith an irresistible impetus, nor could the county boys stop them. The tackling was hard, with the line holding steadily. Horner, as usual, starred, while “Bun” smashed the opposing line to pieces with his plunging. Our only defeat took place when we lost to Butler. The two teams were evenly matched and on neither side was any advantage gained until the last quarter. Then, by a series of short runs, the visitors brought the ball to the two-yard line. They were here thrown back but, on the last down, fluked the ball across. Determined, our fellows carried the ball back up the field, but the time was too short. Butler led by a score of 6-0. Horner excelled in passing, but Bliss of Butler, played well in running the ends. Frew and J. Vogan played a well balanced game also. Capt. “Bun” Rosenblum By defeating the Fifth Avenue High School 91 I of Pittsburgh, 7 to 0, our team set a new record for N. C. II. S., because this was the first time we had conquered a Pittsburgh high school. The arena was clouded, but the smoke of battle revealed two fighting teams on our six-yard line. “Bun,” who had been out of the game with a bad knee, came in and renewed the life of the team. With increasing fight, they forced Fifth back until Bill crossed the opposing goal line. The game continued fast and the whistle blew with our ball on the half yard line. Horner and Harmon, together with Frew, starred for Ne-Ca-Hi. On November 10th, we defeated Duff’s College of Beaver Falls, by a score of 25-0. The game was rather slow, but when the scrubs got in the game, it was more evenly matched and interesting. The second half, both teams took it rather easy, nor was any scoring done until “Jim” Vogan got a pass near the end. He did the real all around playing of the day. The game with Beaver Falls was the one in which “Pete” Josephs made his niche in the hall of fame. Our touchdowns came in the first and last minutes of play. The first one was made after we had been held for downs on the visitors’ three-yard line. Horner received the kick on the 18-yard line and crossed the goal line. The next quarter the visitors scored, nor was any other done until the last three minutes of play. Horner tried for a place kick, but the ball was blocked, rolled over the line, where Pete covered it. Horner, as the star, was lustrous, Bunny showing up well. Rah! Rah! Rah! New Castle! Revenge for two former defeats was obtained by defeating Peabody decisively 19-0. Horner gave the curtain raiser with two successive field goals. The only time Peabody looked forceful was when they carried the ball to our five-yard line by a series of passes. This was their high water mark. “Trudy” Thompson, playing instead of Frew, played like an old timer, running right in the road with Horner for the honors. “Scoots” also intercepted a pass and ran for 35 yards before he was finally downed. This game verified the old yell “Watch old Peabody go to smash!” On Thanksgiving day we defeated the strong Uniontown team. Speaking of heroes, Horner is the man. On the first play he carried the 7 V— ME ntl! -Qi p ball around the end for an 80-yard run and touchdown. Then he was disabled with a broken nose. Aroused, in the first half we piled up 27 points, but because our men were all hurt, we were practically disabled. With little time to play and the score 27-24, the enemy was tearing up the field when Bill came back. He forced them back, and held them there, thus the game ended, a glorious one for Bill’s last game for New Castle High. This season our team scored 157 points to the opposing teams’ 46, 24 of which were made with Horner out of the game. SUMMARY N.C.H.S.

A. badly, with three straight defeats, we succeeded in rounding into shape the best basketball team in the history of N. C. H. S. Here we showed our calibre, as it was the first time we had played teams of so high standing. ’Seventeen played its part well in raising the standard, by the fact that she really gave a team to the school. Hoskins, Horner, Vogan, Grigsby and Vandegrift all gave their best to make this season the best. Our first game was with the Alumni. They brought some of the best men the school ever had, yet youth and vigor overcame age and ague. They played well, each team giving its best; but our boys came out ahead 26-23. Baer and Richards starred on the floor, with Hoskins’ foul shooting of a high order. In the first league game we were defeated by McKeesport, by a score of 84-26. The game was fast, nor could either side claim the victory until the visitors made a quick spurt in the last few minutes. The lack of experience of playing with such fast teams was mainly responsible for our defeat. Richards and Hoskins played well, the former at shooting, while “Hosky’s” guarding was spectacular. Our fellows next traveled to Braddock, w’here they lost by a score of 37-29. The game was decided by foul goals, the number of which called on our fellows was very high. We got more field goals but lost anyway. Hoskins and Horner did their best, both finding the basket to good advantage. Lost again. That was the result of the trip to Westinghouse. We were ahead until the last when they succeeded in rolling a couple over the rim and made the score stand 24-22. The foul shooting was the best part of the game in which Hoskins showed up to the best advantage. At last! The hoodoo is broken! We defeated Shadyside by a score of 30-24. Shadyside took the lead early and held it until the fourth quarter. Then Rosenblum, Richards and Hoskins got started. This triumvirate made the game interesting and they were the ones who finally clinched the game. The team played together and exhibited the best floor work they had shown for a long time. We easily defeated South High of Pittsburg, by a score of 39-28. We were ahead throughout, at no time being in danger of losing our lead. Richards and Rosenblum were shooting well and through their ability, the game was won. Disappointed by the absence of Braddock, we took revenge on Mercer to the score 34-23. Our boys did not play so well as usual but easily held the game. Richards and Hoskins played well, with the latter placing the fouls well within the ring. On our trip to South, we repeated our previous performance by beating them decisively, the score being 36-24. We beat them by a greater score than at home, mainly through the efforts of Rosenblum and Richards, both of whom displayed their ability to find the basket. Bellevue was easily defeated on our own floor, by a score of 33-18. The game was not so fast as most seen here this season, but nevertheless Richards and Rosenblum made their floor work show to a good advantage and Hoskins shot fouls well. 95 nTOHir We took revenge on McKeesport for our defeat earlier in the season, defeating them 34-24. The game was in doubt at all times, but our | boys had been braced and with a final rush took the game. Horner and I Hoskins played well, both in guarding and fioor work. More revenge! By defeating Westinghouse 45-36, we satisfied an ( old score. The visitors took the lead at first and only by the work of j the triumvirate was the victory made possible. |j We swamped Grove City by a score of 43-14. Every man stepped j in and made his share of the scores. The scrubs were substituted and i] held the visitors easily. Hoskins and Horner held the opposing forw ards to two field goals, and Richards shot well. Crippled by the absence of Captain Hoskins, our fellows lost to Bellevue 32-17. The game was rough and despite the score, was fast. j| Richards played well for our fellows, though the foul goals determined ! the game. In our last ; league game, we defeated Sewick-ley 47-23. Our fellow’s showed cham-p i o n s h i p form, while Sewickley lacked team work. The Senior fellows for the last time as a team played for N. C. H. S. against an outside school. Hoskins played exceptionally well. After our final league game Coach Boone challenged the Peerless Club, champions of the city. The first game was March 30. Our fellows took a big lead in the first half, but Peerless braced herself and came back strong. They tied the score at 29, then forged ahead, but Richards won the game with a long shot, making the final score 33-32. Richards and Hoskins played very well. The second game of the series was won by Peerless by a lucky shot in the last ten seconds of play. The game was one of little shooting. Most of the scores were made from the foul line, in which Hoskins had the advantage. The game was the fastest witnessed in town for some time, and by chance Peerless finished ahead 27-25. This ended the glorious history of the basketball year of 1917, and set the best record the school has yet known. 96 j riKmir VARSITY GIRLS’ BASKETBALL After much delay the girls’ varsity basketball team began the second year of its existence. On account of the lateness in the season the schedule was not so long as had been at first anticipated, but through the diligent work of the manager, Mabel Alexander, seven games were secured. Four of these were at home and three of them out of town. Under the able coaching of Mr. Boone and the assistance of Miss Turner, the team came through the season with but one defeat. Through graduation this year two members of the team, Mabel Alexander, manager, captain, and forward, and Alfreeda Young, a short but strong guard, will be lost and greatly missed. As a beginning for next year’s team, there remain Edna Smith, captain-elect; Armada Toepfer, guard; Jean Fleming, guard; Bessie Wallace, active forward; Katherine Kennedy, side center, and Eleanor Treadwell.

HO r riKntir THE SURE PLEDGE OF SATISFACTION The old idea of good business was to do the other fellow. The modern idea is to do for the other fellow—to make the transaction as profitable for him as for yourself. Modern business is built up, not by getting all you can out of a customer, but by giving him more than he expected. To sell clothing that will make permanent customers for us by giving permanent satisfaction to the wearer is both our aim and our daily practice. The steady progress of our business has come not through sensational advertising of fictitious values but by the daily giving of real values. Our strong guarantee on every purchase made in this store is simply this: The customer must be satisfied. To that end the policy of our store, the efforts of our salesmen, the selection of merchandise we sell, are all directed. Steady, reliable diet makes the healthy body. Day-by-day performance of business duty builds up the business reputation. Our growth has come through satisfied customers. We have no right to succeed in any other way. WINTER BROS. The Store of Personal Service. “The Satisfaction of Every Customer” This is the slogan that expresses the keynote of our store policy. As the days go by this ideal is being indelibly impressed on the minds of the people of this community by the manner in which their wants are anticipated and their comforts in shopping provided for. It is pleasant to contemplate that, although commerce and industry at large have been beset by many trying circumstances, this store has gathered stocks of merchandise for the present season larger and better than ever.

Who are those who run expenses up in the great Metropolis until living is well nigh impossible? Certainly not New Yorkers, for they must reap the harvest of high prices that follow. The culprits are out-of-town visitors with, temporarily, more cash than common sense. New Yorkers are economical. They buy where their money will count for most. Buying good things cannot be counted extravagance, but paying a great deal for a slight value can. Be extravagant—economically. Purchase from the store whose policy is built on quality and service, and where your good taste can find indulgence at a price within reason. New Castle Dry Goods Co. H. H.

Merchant—Shall I give you some of this loud green ribbon? Girl—It doesn’t make any difference. It’s for a deaf woman. Freshie—Gee, these high school teachers are funny.
