An unrest pervades the world. The final outcome of events is not known. At such a time, for a boy or a girl to decide just what is best to do is a difficult task. Choosing a vocation for life is a serious problem at any time. It is especially difficult this year. However, it is a question that many of you will be called upon to decide. It is one of your most serious problems. Your future success, comfort, happiness and usefulness depends on the choice you make. It is essentially a problem for each one to decide individually. You may receive advice but the final decision rests with you. You must assume the responsibility. In the past, probably, you have shifted the responsibility of an important decision to some one else. However, this most important decision must be yours. The matter should be given your most serious consideration. You should be sure of three things. First—that you are selecting a work for which you are best fitted. Many of the failures in life can be attributed to attempts of persons to do work for which they are not qualified by nature or by education. Study your own self to know what you are best qualified to do. Your likes and dislikes should play an important part in your decision. Follow your own inclinations. Second—that the vocation you decide upon will be agreeable to you. To be successful at any work you must become absorbed in it. To become absorbed you must be interested. Furthermore you should give your best energies to mastering its problems. You can put your best energies only in work that is agreeable. Third—that what you decide on doing will offer you the future you desire. Your vocation should be a worthy one. You should be sure that twenty years hence there will be a demand for the talent you have to offer. You are but a remnant of the class that started four years ago. You are to be congratulated for the tenacity you have manifested in sticking to the task. You should carry this same tenacity of purpose with you into your life work. Success will come easier if you have it. You have entered with vim and vigor into the different activities of the school. This is an example worthy of emulation by other classes that are to follow. Again you are advised to carry this same vim and vigor along with you into life. Both of these qualities are essential to success. The school expects much of you. You have received the four years’ training which the school affords. Therefore the school has a right to expect good results from you. While w'e regret to have you leave, we also have satisfaction in your prospects and opportunities for the future. Keep physically fit, morally clean and mentally alert. Resolve to be useful and also to get the best things out of life. It is our sincere wish that success and good fortune may be with you always. 7 F. L. ORTH.

And our high school found us ready, For her stirring call so grand. Still we’re faithful to our studies, As the years pass quickly by And our hearts are ever yearning For our dear old Ne Ca Hi. (Chorus) Keep our glory burning As from school we’re turning, Though we may be far away We’ll still love you. Friendships will be binding As for you we’re pining Ever going “O’er the Top”— With good old Eighteen! II. All our fame we owe our teachers All our honor and the rest Ever envied by our comrades, For we’re nothing but the best. Then take heed ye under classmen.

When we first came to high school we were naturally wee and innocent; but since then we have picked up the ways of the world in our high school life. We became firmly established in our second year and now as Juniors we have sallied forth triumphantly under the Purple and White, winning honor and fame for ourselves in scholarships, athletics and society. Our banners w’ere draped with black as the class mourned over the death of our loyal classmate Bryan Blair. On the athletic field it w'as proudly caught by the breeze and served as a reminder that T9 alwrays keeps her ideals in sports. At the Junior-Senior banquet, she was handsomely arrayed and looked on with approval at the gaities of her loyal supporters. And so she still floats proudly on the breeze because she know's at her feet is gathered a loyal, loving and reverent band of followers.

Donald Rigby HE-WII - Sii Jj' So ___1 CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY In the fall of 1916, we the class of 1920, entered this school. Not a great deal was done during our Freshman year but Mr. Thalman, our principal, after serious thinking, allowed us to have a picnic at Muddy Creek Falls where we had a grand turn out. When, last fall, we entered as Sophomores our class was not as large as the preceding year, but every member faced his studies with a smile. During the football season several of our fellows went out to help the Varsity, while the entire class took great interest in the games. In December basketball began. No class ever showed such a bright and enthusiastic spirit, in both the girls’ and boys’ games. In the girls’ games, we lost but one and that to the Seniors, though we won three from them. The team was very successful, winning “The Championship” of both halves. Though the boys were not so successful, they faced both victory and defeat with a good spirit. On March 19 the class held a dance in the I. O. O. F. hall, which was well attended both by members of the class and faculty. Our school year was ended with a picnic at Muddy Creek Falls.

According to the customs of the proverbial freshman we were green, yes, very green. But now after nine months what a great change has taken place! We no longer retain that verdant hue. for with each succeeding year it is growing dimmer. At the beginning of the year in view of the fact that two shades of green do not go well together, we abstained from choosing green as our class color and on the other hand, chose a combination of crimson and gray. Every Freshie has loyally upheld and fought for them and in a few cases offered themselves as martyrs. The Crimson and Gray has made an enviable reputation—in basket ball, foot ball and every form of High School sport. We have shown our patriotism and class loyalty in the sale of War Saving Stamps, Red Cross and Liberty Loan Parades. The crowning event of the year however, came in the form of a “Coming Out” party held at Cascade Park. It was a great success and will live long in the memory of all the Freshmen.

Zeigler THE CLASS ORATION WHAT WILL COME OUT OF THIS WAR? By J. R. PRKSTON That the world war will come to an end is as sure as that this morning’s dawn will pale the stars. But the hope that there shall be no more vars in the world can only be realized by the entire co-operation of every thinking man and woman. The wounds of nations will still bleed, this earth or at least a great part of it, will be in mourning; every way one will turn he will see hatred, nor will there be any lack of material and forces to feed it. We shall have the choice of two methods, one moving by way of bitter speech and provocative action to some fresh outbreak of world strife; the other, stretching by way of restraint, moderation, goodwill, and self effacement toward the realms of universal peace. The world will be standing at the parting of the ways, and much that is wicked or senseless is going to be inculcated in the name of patriotism. Then will it be that we shall decide whether to charge the full price of victory as Germany would do if she won the w-ar; or w'hether we shall treat our enemies with the utmost justice possible, with all regard to moral lawr. It is as hard for a nation to deal with an after war situation, after a long period of war as it is to deal w’ith a war after a long period of peace. We have the will to put a period to strife but we lack the proper state of mind in w’hich to enter upon the task. It is true that in former w'ars people have been unable to cope with the peace situation; the nation like the fever patient, is able to show’ great strength during the illness but when the remedies begin to take effect and the temperature to run down it is weak and helpless. But in the present war it will contend to strengthen rather than weaken the people of the allied nations and make them in a greater degree able to cope with the extraordinarily large peace situation. The casualty lists are gradually breaking down class bars in all nations. Lady Reading, wife of British ambassador to the United States, 60 c?iv L n rmi says: “The upper English classes are working side by side with the lower classes in the war. Mothers behind the lines are administering to the wounded, while in the front line trenches the nobleman is fighting side by side with the laborer and merchantman. Consequently the ciass bars are gradually disappearing and people will be on an equal basis; this same action is taking place not only in England but in all the allied nations as well.” Patriotism will mean something greater after the war. It will not be just the cheering of our soldiers and our Flag, but it will mean to every man and woman sacrifice of wealth, position and greatest of all life itself. It will bring about a spirit of service for one another, such that we cannot help co-operating with the nations of the world to destroy the German autocracy all over the world and make the world decent to live in. You have heard of battleships bent upon escape that have thrown out immense clouds of smoke in order to create a fog to blind the enemy. The misrulers of the autocracies of Europe are most assuredly going to do something of the same kind. As soon as the people of these nations realize the full significance of war and see in the true light the schemers who brought it about, some autocratic rulers will find their occupation gone. They will shrink at nothing to keep the truth obscured. At their command, is all the authority at present constituted in their country, all the sentiments of the comfortable classes, all the patriotism of the misinformed, all honors, awards, ribbons, stars, jewels, decorations, title procedure and the other gods for which so many people otherwise sane sell their souls. Another force which calls itself religion without being in any way religious will also be well to the front, and all will be engaged in a conspiracy to deceive the average man and woman. It is a very ancient story, the game has been played over and over again in the past, and it has reconciled millions to the horrors of war, the more so when the old, old trick is being performed with skill and seriousness; war is over and an enormous tension has been relaxed, people are no longer in their mood for criticism and discontent. They are so happy to know the burdens are removed that they accept dictation, listen to familiar platitudes, and are persuaded readily that if they won they are God’s chosen people and if they lost they were betrayed and must organize at once for revenge. I believe the people of the allied nations know this and after the war will come a demand that autocracy must go and that democracy must take its place the world over and consequently make the world decent to live in. si J A HISTORY OF THE NIHN-TEE-NAYE-TEENS OF THE NATION OF NE-CA-HIGHS By ALICE COVER Many years ago—more years ago than any of you can count on the fingers of your two hands, the papooses of our tribe began this training for life under the direction of renowned medicine men and women called teachers. Eight years later in nineteen fourteen, after a strenuous course preparatory to our entrance into the camps of the warriors, we were admitted to the hunting ranges of Ne-Ca-Highs Even the sage councillors, better known as Seniors, w’ho seldom condescend to notice little papooses stopped chattering long enough to comment on our good looks, our air of wisdom and knowledge and our rare dignity, w hile the mature warriors and young braves, seemed completely over-awed. Mr. Thalman the honored chief of the nation of Ne-Ca-Highs, to whom everything was just as new as it was to us failed to realize our wonderful possibilities and refused to allow us to form a separate tribe in the nation. But this did not prevent us from making our presence felt. Our first festival of merry making was the reception given us by the Senior braves. At the beginning of our second year w’e were adopted into the nation by being given the right of organization. We elected Harvey Harman, Chieftain for the year; Aelred Marso, Keeper of Records; Bernard Thompson, Guardian of the Treasure Chest. We also chose as tribal colors “Blue and Gold.” It was at this time we began to show our valor in sports, furnishing a band of picked champions to play football and basket ball for the honor of the Na-Ca-Highs. In nineteen hundred and sixteen we were initiated as mature warriors known as Juniors, and verv proud of ourselves we were. Harvey Harman was re-elected Chieftain, Aelred Marso re-elected Keeper of Records; as Guardian of the Treasure Chest our tribe chose Johnray Preston. Because the event of the year was to be the annual feasting of the wise men of the nation, all our energies were directed toward making that feast a success and our efforts were not in vain. It w’as in the spring of our third year among the Ne-Ca-Highs that the nation was deprived of its leader and friend Mr. Thalman, who had so manfully guided our tribe during the past three years. To him we owe much of our success. 62 fr 11 - «ai )' Mr. Thalman’s successor, Mr. Orth, has likewise won his way into our hearts as a personal friend. On the morning of September the twenty-fourth, nineteen hundred and seventeen we advanced in the nation of Ne-Ca-Highs to the rank of sage elders, the Seniors of the Nation. After the first few weeks of adventure our tribe elected as our “big chief,” William Morgan, who with the help of our braves has made the Nihn-tee-Naye-teens the best band that has ever taken the trail from the Ne-Ca-Highs. One of the most important events that took place last autumn was a party for the new group of papooses in our midst better known as Freshmen. We enthusiastically supported sports, both the squaws and braves having won the champion cups in our third year and our braves again showed their gallantry by winning the championship during our fourth year. The Squaws’ basketball team will also feel heavily the loss of Katherine Kennedy, Edna Smith, Pauline Gilkey, Armada Toepfer and Bessie Wallace, who are this year leaving the happy hunting ranges. Our tribe has not only upheld the standard in sports, but excelled all other tribes in the management of the “Monitor,” printed from time to time in the nearby town of some civilized pale faces. This town is called New Castle. This is due to the untiring efforts of the Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth Kramer, and her council assisted by Miss Dorothea Keast who has so cheerfully and willingly given her advice. On April 23 we held our Senior party in I. O. O. F. hall in the neighboring town of the pale faces. Many members of our tribe were present and all had a most delightful evening. One of the happiest days of our sojourn among the Ne-Ca-Highs was Senior Day which was observed in a fitting manner May 3. The squaws and warriors in charge of the festival gave the three under tribes the benefit of the knowledge they had gained during their four years. At noon a fine picnic dinner was served to our tribe and to all our medicine men and women of our nation. In the evening a war dance was given at Cascade Park, having the tribe next in honor to our braves as our guests. After several w’eeks of practice the tribal play, “The Manoeuvres of Jane,” a four act comedy was produced and the cast showed a great deal of dramatic ability. The play was a success from every stand point. A great event of recent times and one that will always be remembered by the Nigh-tee-Naye-teens was the reception given us by the Nigh-teen-nigh-teens at the Elks’ club. The evening was spent in dancing until a late hour. We wish to thank the gallant braves and charming squaws of that tribe for making our last social affair such a great success. This is the history of our tribe during the four years we have spent among the Ne-Ca-Highs and petty and small it seems in comparison with the world history which is being made today. However we hope we have profited by our opportunities among the Ne-Ca-Highs, and that we have acquired high ideals and standards of conduct which will enable us to make genuine worth while history as we now start on the long trail of the future. S3 THE ‘PAGEANT OF LIFE” By LOIS CHALLIS I. All youth is known as life’s most joyous part; In it the sad and bitter seldom reign. The camps of dreams and hopes guard safe the heart, Wherein the Queen Ambition has domain. These camps are strong, for day-dreams make them so We dream and build air-castles for our life. All fate and future fortunes we would know, And learn to see the joy more than the strife. For who would look into the distant years, And wish to see no sunshine’s glowing ray?— Only the grief and sadness, with the tears That seem to grasp and tear our souls away. II. Yet dreams and hopes not only there abide. But through the noon of life are ever known, To come to us and show the brighter side Of things to come and powers to be o’erthrown. Throughout the noontime busy with the work The world requires and would have mankind do. No one can sham; no man his duty shirk, For if to manly honor he prove true, Some dreams he needs must make reality, And win the goal through vigor of his mind, In fragments of the good his soul can see Here true success and honor he must find. fii With age past days as phantoms come and go, Sometimes to haunt, oft times to make us glad. That we’ve not lost the brightness of youth’s glow But made it shine while trusting hopes we had. A promise of tomorrow is foretold By sunset sky, that radiates the earth With bluest clouds surrounded by old gold Whose value nations’ wealth is never w'orth. Just so the promise of life’s sunset seems, To show the brightness in the coming day; New aims and true fulfillment of old dreams To purge the sadness of the past away. IV. Pageant of life that passes o’er earth’s stage, With men as characters throughout the scenes! From youth, the pure idealist, to sunset age, Who now’ has learned each act and what it means. Veiled Truth a curtain seems, through all the play. We cannot see w hat pow’ers give man strength ; Or know’ what force can turn his thoughts aw’ay We only know he strives and wins at length. But life with the Veiled Truth has made men old, They pause and w’ant to see the other side; The scenes pass on and soon the story told. We go our w’ay though yet unsatisfied. ITne- mii -a£_ By L. M. ZIMMERMAN Four years ago, when the class of 1918 entered N. C. H. S. as Freshmen, little did the rest of the school dream that, among the members of that infant class was an astrologer. Nevertheless such was the case. For four long years my nights have been spent on the house tops, in silent communion with the stars, and my days passed buried deep in my books and calculations. Now, having one by one completed the horoscopes of the class of 1918, on the eve of their graduation, I will reveal to them their futures. Last night, as I gazed upon the celestial planets for the last time, the veil of the future was lifted and mingled feelings of astonishment, joy, hope, and horror rushed upon me as I looked into the moving, pulsing heart of the future. Years, I know not how many, had elapsed since last our class had assembled together. The great war was just over, and the victorious Allied armies were preparing to evacuate Berlin. There, in a military hospital, I saw Lady Thompson with his head resting in the lap of a Red Cross nurse, whom I recognized as Peg Toepfer, and as he gazed up into her dreamy eyes, he softly hummed, “I don’t want to get well.” This scene faded out; others follou'ed, and I beheld, in a New York theatre, Milton Pascoe, who w'as featured as the famous “One Man Band.” He had discovered a method by which he could sing, dance, and play his violin, french horn, viola, and drums at the same time; sitting in the audience, quite enraptured, was Katherine Kennedy, who had become a book agent. She was engaged in selling a new’ edition of “Paradise Lost,” and her success seemed assured for her lectures on Mil-ton always have been extremely eloquent. Carroll Kearns, and Ceinwen Lewis had at last realized their highest ambitions and were appearing that night in “Firefly” which had been directed by Bill Hamilton. William Stuart stood in the w'ings with a basket of assorted vegetables. His aspirations as a violinist had been hopelessly eclipsed by Pascoe’s rise to fame. The scene changed, and I saw a little office in New’ Castle. Behind an ink-smeared desk sat Albert Tindall, smoking a fat black cigar. His ambition was realized; he had become political boss of New Castle’s seventh ward, and he smiled happily as he drilled his special corps of ward heelers, composed of Looey Morretti, Joe Zidow, George Boyle, Pat Scanlon, and Walt Vogan, in a new and elaborate method of election 6S -—dEsgnos— fraud. As I watched, Senator Earl Smith entered, accompanied by Speaker of the House Jack Preston. “Are we absolutely sure of your support in the coming election Mr. Tindall?” asked the senator. “Certainly,” was the reply; and then as an after thought the boss added, That is if you can outbid Mr. Seger.” Again the scene was changed. On the beach of a south sea island three hula maidens danced to the wierd music of Abe Cahill’s steel guitar. One of the dancers was especially graceful. 1 looked closer and recognized her. Clad in a most becoming hula costume, Evangeline Se-bring outshone the natives in their own dances. The next picture was vastly different. Clyde Whittaker and Arthur Hanna had left Cooper and Butler’s and had started a chain of stores run on the order of Dan’s Place. Meyer Frank, Joseph Rubenson, and Manuel Levine w'ere doing a rushing business at the sign of the three balls. Alene Busch and Ruth Davies had started a cut-rate barber shop, and were regularly patronized by Lester Alexander, Wilbur Ferrell, Harry Friedman and Peter Grittie. Hester Manewal had succeeded Harold Turner as a dispenser of butter-milk at Billy Glenn’s “Peanut Foundry.” Tacks, Mary Jefferies, and Aelred Marceau were successfully presenting a new and original vaudeville skit entitled “Harold and Aelred, or The Loveless Triangle.” Billie Eakin, Bess Wallace, and Doris Camp had become famous movie stars, while Frances Queer had long been the successful rival of Theda Bara. Eva Hamilton, Christine Humble, Ada Gormley, Viola Leslie, and Margaret Kuntz, had become ardent believers in Femininism, and were making a series of political addresses in an effort to elect Marie Mershimer to the Supreme Court of the United States. Mary Reed and Elizabeth Kramer, who had demonstrated their farming ability during April 1918, had become Lady Farmers. They insisted upon harrowing their fields with a hay rake, because, as they said, it made the fields look so much prettier. Other scenes, too numerous to mention passed before my eyes. Helen Ryan sat in the mayor’s office, presiding over the police court. Of the long line of criminals before her I recognized only two. Harold Mc-Conahy, a notorious card sharp, had been caught in a raid on a Moravia street gambling den, while George Crable had been arrested for desertion. He plead guilty and begged to be sent up for at least a year as he was afraid to go home. There were changes also in the faculty of N. C. H. S. Paul Lewis was teacher of Physics and Chemsitry. Miss Keast had been carried off by a soldier man and her place as Monitor advisor was filled by Ellen Fischer. Fred Thompson was head of the Spanish department, and Alice Cover and Roy Thompson held the positions of Domestic Art and Manual Training teachers respectively. W’alter Sturdy had taken up the study of Commercial Chemistry and with it the biggest job of the kind ever attempted—that of really purifying New Castle’s city water. Several of our more frivolous minded girls, Alathea Wallace, Hazel Johnson, Virginia Weinschenk. Lois Chal-lis, Edrye Anderson, Charlotte Boyles, Alberta Emery, Virginia Gibson, « MTOHiirr and Grace Stitzinger, had become members of the chorus of Bill Gordon’s Beauty Burlesquers. Ed Lazear had become a traffic Cop and on an average of twice a week he had George Hanna and Mary Shaffer up before the mayoress for speeding. Again Venus ruled the flow of events. Jessie Nelson and Jay Reed existed in a state of connubial bliss. Leta Johns, now Mrs. John Haley, was touring the country, and, under John’s able management she was able to keep him on the proceeds of her piano playing. Among all this happiness Ted Smith was unhappy. Her romance had scarcely outlasted her honeymoon, at the end of which time Ren had eloped with Huey Cochran. Because of the war many of the girls had taken the places of men. Valera Corban had become a steeple-jack, and was permanently employed by the school board to recover the flag ropes when they were cut by precocious Sophomores. Justine McCune and Pauline Gilkey had taken up paper hanging, and, as they had no use for ladders, they had made a great success of the enterprise. Marj Duff, who has had plenty of experience where excuses for tardiness were required was employed by the B. O. to remain at the station and explain to the angry mob just why the trains were late. Shirley Garwig, whose artistic temperament was always uppermost, was engaged in illustrating advertisements for a popular baby food, and was using as her model, the sweet, innocent, and angelic face of Mar-cellus Nesbitt. Billy Morgan had become a prominent lawyer, and was almsot rushed to death writing “wills.” Paul Acquerone, now a famous scientist, had discovered a new love potion, and had as agents and regular customers, Rob Headland, Red Rowland, and Herman Gibson, the last of whom was now proprietor of the Terminal Apothecary. New scenes passed before me: In Chicago, Martha Hasely, Jessie Gibson, Viola Miller and Elizabeth Bauman had started a matrimonial bureau. They seemed to have been successful, for they had persuaded Frank Miller, Lucien Black, Ralph Allison and Ralph Smith that singleness was not always blessedness. Emma Gibbons, a rising young society belle, had as her French maid Jeannette Amon, and as her physical advisor and private tutor of calisthenics Professor Helen Kirk. Walt Fulkerson, contrary to all expectations, had settled down and become a success as a business man. Then, his love of good cooking having finally brought his admiration for Armada Toepfer to a head, he had popped the question, only to be rejected. Armada loved Curley Johnson’s hair more than she did Walt’s football reputation. Lena Smith had become a famous prima donna and Merle Riley was a successful and extremely popular equestrienne, traveling with Ring-ling Brothers Circus. Helen Harbison had inherited a fortune and with part of it she had bought out the Harmony Line. Under her expert management the cars were run on a three minute schedule and were never known to be late. 68 ft'OTilf qQ ji The prompt arrival of Jack Leonardson, a young and dashing physician, having saved her from death, threatened by a prolonged fit of giggling, Garnet Aey had promptly forgotten Scoop, and dragging Jack to the home of the Reverend Reginald McClintock, she had promptly married him. Frank McCreary had joined a company of Scotch Highlanders, and had returned home on a furlough. He was making a tremendous hit with all the ladies, who promptly fell in love with his cunning little suit. Roneita Saul and Reva Samuels, having got into a dispute as to why Esquimaux like gum drops had departed for the Arctic regions with the intention of proving to each other the impossibilities of his argumnet. Cleo Brown had become a beauty specialist, and was at work on an article entitled “The Correct Angle at Which to Wear One’s Lips.” Once more the scene changed and I saw Cascade Park spread before me. Natalie Johnston was standing in a booth dispensing lukewarm soda pop to a party of school teachers. I recognized a number of them, Mary Douglass, Mamie Levine, Nannie Patton, Esther Wagner, Katharyn Douglas, Sarah Blau, Marie Wooley and Martha Watson being among the largest consumers. Margaret Walker and Leota Hunter had formed a partnership and gone to Australia; and many were the miles they traveled and the game they killed. Edna Brown, Dorothy Rabinovitz, and Lenore Patterson, together with Dewey Shifflet, William McCann and John Zidow had become wealthy and retired. They had formed a partnership, established an experimental station and succeeded in growing an odorless onion. Alvin Hemphill had let his hair grow long, had taken to wearing flowing black bow ties, and was posing in Bohemia as a poet from Borneo. One of the most surprising of these visions of the future was to find Regina Popp presiding as President of a Browning Club. Willard Parker had won deserved fame for his illustrious work as a war correspondent in France during the late war. One of the distinguished men at the reception given in honor of his return from “over there” was the Honorable Gail McCreary, Secretary of Agriculture. We were glad to find that this high honor had been given our old classmate, Gail, in appreciation of the faithful farm work he had done and the new ideas which he had brilliantly advanced during the days of his country’s need. The scenes grew dimmer; morning was approaching; beneath me a cat howled dismally. A cock crew afar off. The spell was broken, and the curtain dropped. Again I saw the countless stars, and, near the horizon, that star which had presided over the birth of the class of ’18. As I watched it slowly rise, I knew it to be in the ascendant, and that the class of NINETEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN, far from having finished its career, had but begun to shine forth in all its glory. 69 CLASS WILL ✓ ' y y THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1918 NEW CASTLE HIGH SCHOOL We, The Senior Class of 1918, New Castle High School, County of Lawrence, and State of Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. First. It is our desire that all our just debts be paid from the class treasury.

Also it is our desire that they instruct, care for and advise the faculty in the same manner as they have previously been instructed, cared for and advised by the class of ’18. Second: The following bequeath various articles to be offered at public auction, the proceeds to be used for buying a rope to pull the Juniors through school next year: Joseph Rubenson, a short pair of long trousers.

Doris Camp suggests to Ralph Byers that a few occasional flashes of silence would greatly improve his conversation. To Francis Kissinger comes the following from Carrol Kearns: It is a desirable thing to be well descended but the glory belongs to our ancestors. 70 —wz Huella Cochran wishes Grace Wills to remember that much may be made of a Welshman if he is caught young. Paul Lewis suggests that Gurth Rapson be given a large ladle full of fatherly advice. Lawrence Thompson reminds Pearl Ewens that the greatest of faults is to be conscious of none. “Curley” Johnson desires Edward Canby to ponder over the fact that his fatal fascinating beauty is a great danger to him. Paul McGaffic should remember that Roy Thompson’s experience proves that all men who have long hair are not poets. Fourth: The following personal bequests are made as tokens of our love for the persons herein named: Three former members of the class of ’18, Raymond Hall, Stanley Whieldon, Giovani Fazzoni, have given their services to Uncle Sam.

D., 1918. THE CLASS OF 1918. And now, this 17th day of June, A. D. 1918, 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. F. L. ORTH. M. D. KEAST. C. E. BAER. he-wii ;sljp THE SENIORS GOOD-BYE It is time for us, the class of 1918 to say farewell to N. C. H. S. We do this with a mixture of emotions. We are glad because our graduation marks an important step in our lives. We have accomplished what we set out to do, and trust that we have prepared ourselves to such an extent that we will be better able to cope with the world’s problems. Such ability is extremely important at this time—a crucial time in the world’s history—when our nation is striving, together with its noble allies, to crush autocracy. It is our earnest desire to be of some use to our country and to humanity at large. But we are sad as our departure will to some extent sever our daily meetings and intercourse. These halls are the scenes of many of our good times, the best we have ever had, and naturally there is a hint of sadness in our hearts. So we say good-bye to the school and to our friends. But wherever we are, we shall never forget these good times, and the dear friends with whom we shared them in dear old Ne-Ca-Hi. PATRIOTISM The High School has been called “the hot-bed of American patriotism.” It is in the High School that students become old enough to realize the advantages and benefits which may be derived from an education, and the privilege which they enjoy in having such a system of education provided for them. Gratitude is the result of such a realization, and gratitude is the basis of that love for country which we call patriotism. In addition to this, exercises have been presented which have instilled reverence, love and admiration for our national emblem, programs have been prepared which have given us a more thorough knowledge of the national holidays and events which they commemorate and which have inspired us with a respect and admiration for our ancestors who fought and died for their country. The songs which we have sung during this year have been such as will arouse emotions of patriotism wherever they may be heard. So as we leave we may say that we have received lessons in patriotism which will extend their influence all through our lives. May the good work be continued next year. 74 “CARRY ON” It can truly be said that the students of the New Castle High School have done all in their power, within the last nine months, to help in carrying on the war to a successful close. The number of liberty bonds and thrift stamps sold to students, the money subscribed to the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross, and the large amount of actual work done by the Girls’ Red Cross Unit shows not only the ability but the willingness to sacrifice for the sake of United States and her allies. The Seniors are now going out into the world, some of them to continue their education, some to take part in France in the crushing of our enemy and some to do their part in carrying on the work at home, which will help keep our men in France. Wherever they may be America may rest assured that they will be doing their prat. The Seniors leave in the knowledge that the students remaining in school will continue their work to a greater extent than ever before. During the next year the need will probably be greater and to our classmates remaining in school we leave the message, “Carry On.” COLLEGE EDUCATION We wish to call the attention of pupils graduating this year to the announcement in the back of the book, concerning a college education. Badly as the government needs men it advocates their entering college. The educated man is undoubtedly of more use to the United States than one whose education has been neglected. He is a better citizen, he is more capable of increasing the resources of the country and his influence upon the citizens of his community is better than that of the uneducated man. It is most difficult for a man or woman of thirty years of age to resume education which has been neglected for a number of years. Few ever succeed in doing so. It is therefore of the utmost importance that every person who can enter college, do so without delay. rwmi In WHO’S WHO SENIOR CLASS President ............

For the past three years Shakesperian dramas have been given, but attained no more success than can be credited to the Senior Play of 1918. Jane Nangle, a high tempered wilful young lady, whose untiring efforts to gain her father’s consent to marry a penniless young man whom she loved, resulted in many tragical and humorous situations. The plot was also made complicated by Connie Gage, a designing adventuress, and her efforts to enveigle Lord Babchild, an effeminate young Englishman to marry her. Pamela Beechinor, a sneaking mischievous, small girl, who was continually spying on the lovers, provided a number of highly exciting situations. Every member of the cast displayed remarkable ability and showed the careful training of Miss Frey and Miss Hartsuff under whose able directions the play was staged. The cast was as follows: Lord Babchild .............................

The plot of the play centered about Peggy, an orphan, who was adopted by Mark Embury, an old philosopher, who intended to marry her when she came of age. The young lady, unaware of this, fell in love with her guardian’s nephew, and the resulting entanglement made the play most interesting.

It has met faithfully every Monday afternoon, and as a result of this work a very interesting concert was given. The Orchestra also capably accompanied the Senior play. A great deal of the success thus gained has been due to the efforts of Mr. E. F. Kurtz, the director.

Fortnightly suppers were held, vesper services were conducted and hikes, parties and other social activities were promoted. Through a percentage given on all tickets sold for the movie “Tom Sawyer,” the club made some money for the purpose of sending delegates to the annual convention of High School Girls’ Clubs. Throughout the year the club has followed its purpose—“To maintain the highest standards of High School life; and to stand for the highest ideals of friendship which shall be expressed through social service and personal loyalty to Jesus Christ, our Savior.” The officers for this year have been: President .................. Marjorie Duff Vice-President....... Elizabeth Kirk Secretary........Catherine Hodkinson Treasurer ............ Ellen Fischer THE H I-Y CLUB THE HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club during 1917-’18 was a most successful organization, with an exceedingly interesting program. Some of the most prominent citizens of the city gave talks on different professional vocations and several New Castle boys who are in the army gave speeches at different intervals. Among them were Lieutenant Sniff, Jim Lamoree and Stanley Wheil-don, all former students of N. C. H. S. Officers for the year were: President.............Jack R. Preston Vice-President....Walter N. Fulkerson Sec. Treas. ..... Herman Gibson ADELPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY The Adelphic Literary Society is composed of the boys of the three upper classes, who meet once a week during the eighth period. Practice is given in Parliamentary Drill, extemporaneous speaking is encouraged and profitable programs are given at certain intervals. The officers for the year were as follows: Second Semester First Semester President Rex McClintock Arthur Hanna Vice-President Ralph Byers Lysle Newbury Secretary and Treasurer Jay Reed Carrol Kearns Sergeant-at-Arms WMliam Gordon Harold Turner THE SENIOR GIRL S’ KNITTING CLUB SENIOR GIRLS’ KNITTING CLUB One of the new clubs formed during our Senior year was the Senior Girls’ Knitting club, formed for the purpose of promoting a spirit of good fellowship among the Seniors. The meetings were very informal. There were no officers and the only requirements for membership were attendance, some knitting and the desire for a good time. The club met every three weeks either in the cafeteria or gymnasium, six hostesses having charge of each meeting. Each hostess then appointed one girl to act as one of the hostesses the next time. The meetings were always different and always interesting. Some times the girls would attend a basketball game, again there would be a musical program, or various kinds of music. There was one memorable meeting when the boys were privileged to attend if they brought their knitting. Always there were delicious “eats” furnished by the hostesses. We wish to thank Miss Riffer for her interest in the club and for her suggestions in planning the programs. so tvB MKHtll THE HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS CHORUS Under the leadership of Carroll Kearns a chorus was formed from those students whose voices were best suited. Special numbers were often given by the chorus, but the greatest benefit was derived in their leading the school in the assembly singing. 91 rnroHiiTtt THE LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, one of the newest organizations in our high school, has closed a very successful term. The main purpose of the club was to increase the interest in the study of Latin among the lower classes. This plan has been very satisfactorily used in a great number of high schools throughout the country. Even in our own school the influence of the club has grown. The club has met every two weeks and after the business had been transacted, a program was carried out. The student in this way derived a great benefit from the reading and discussion of Roman civilization and customs. The school likewise profited by the programs given by the club in assemblies during the year. The officers follow: President............. Alathea Wallace Vice-President ......... Eleanor Moore Secretary ....... Catherine Hodkinson THE MATHEMATICS CLUB MATHEMATICS CLUB Another new organization this year is the Mathematics Club. Meetings have been held weekly during the eighth period, and programs of general mathematical interest were presented, the plan of having the members divided into four classes for the study of advanced mathematics having been abandoned on account of lack of available teachers. The club has been very successful, a great many of the mathematics students showing interest in it. The officers were as follows: President ......... Rex McClintock Vice-President..... Merritt Mitchell Sec. Treas......... Robert Toler mwhii T H E FRENCH CLUB THE FRENCH CLUB The French Club under the name of “La Societee Francaise” was organized this year for the first time, under the direction of Miss Franz. Monthly meetings were held at the homes of different members, where an interesting program was always given. Since French was spoken exclusively a great deal of benefit was derived from the meetings. The officers for the year were: President.....Wilhelmina Nothdurft Secretary .......... Ceinwen Lewis 95 THE SCIENCE CLUB SCIENCE CLUB This year, for the first time a Science Club was organized among the students studying scientific subjects. A number of trips were made to places of interest. The club inspected the large pipe organ in the First Methodist church in connection with the study of sound; a trip was made to the Radium plant and the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh; and an excursion for the purpose of studying geology and physiography was made through the Slippery Rock Gorge. Thus a general interest in scientific subjects has been kept alive in the students. Officers for the year were as follows: President........................ Albert Tindall Vice-President ................. Rex McClintock Secretary Treasurer............. Lysle Newbury ENLIST—AND GO TO COLLEGE By P. P. CLAXTON, U. S. Commissioner of Education. Many a 1918 high school graduate is debating with himself this year: Shall I go to college? or shall I enlist at once for military service? The War Department has just made it possible to do both. It says, in effect, to the ambitious young American : “You serve your country by going to college. To make sure that you do not lose thereby the opportunity of serv ing your country in a direct military capacity, you will be asked to join the special U. S. Army college training units that are to be formed. You will be liable for service at a moment’s notice, but because you are worth more to the nation with your college training than without it, you will be expected to stay in college until called by the Government.” The War Department’s announcement provides that beginning with September 1918, military instruction, under officers and non-commis-cioned officers of the Army, will be provided in every institution of college grade enrolling for the instruction one hundred or more able-bodied students over the age of eighteen. The necessary military equipment will be provided by the Government. There will be created a military training unit in each institution. Enlistment will be purely voluntary, but all students over the age of eighteen will be encouraged to enlist. The enlistment will constitute the student a member of the Army of the United States, liable to active duty at the call of the President. It will, however, be the policy of the Government not to call the members of the training units to active duty until they have reached the age of twenty-one, unless urgent military necessity compels an earlier call. Students under eighteen, and therefore not legally eligible for enlistment, will be encouraged to enroll in the training units. Provision will be made for co-ordinating the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps system, which exists in about one-third of the collegiate institutions, with this broader plan. “This new policy aims to accomplish a two-fold object,” the War Department announces, “First, to develop as a great military asset the large body of young men in the colleges; and second, to prevent unnecessary and wasteful depletion of the colleges through indiscriminate volunteering, by offering to the students a definite and immediate military status.” No nation has made such generous provision for combined military and college education as has the United States in this new plan. The youth who avail themselves of the privilege will be serving their country’s immediate as well as future needs. Later announcements will be made of the details of the new system. In the meantime, presidents of collegiate institutions are requested to call his matter to the attention of all their students. Those who do not graduate this spring should be urged to continue their education and take advantage of this new opportunity to serve the Nation. There is now a double inducement to young men graduating from the high school to follow the President’s earnest advice; not only will they be preparing themselves to serve their country in the most effective way, but they will be members of the military forces of the United States while securing this preparation. 97 THE COMMERCIAL CLUB C L nE n+ir _Sti A THE COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club has completed its second year as a business and social organization. On account of the existing war conditions and the changes in the head of the department and in commercial teachers the club has not been so successful as last year, little of importance having been done.

This was due in a great measure to lack of spirit and support from the student body, to the loss of a number of stars through graduation and the loss of others who left school. Even against such odds the team put up a game and valiant fight against the best teams of Western Pennsylvania. Fulkerson was the star of the season in open field running while Richards and Vogan deserve a great deal of praise for their ground gaining work. The first game played was a defeat, not to our surprise. Our team was green and had had little practice, while our opponents were more experienced and had had several weeks’ practice. The score was 19-0, but we gained a great deal in experience. A week later we played the Alumni, and gave the ancient warriors of N. C. H. S. a chance to prove their worth—which they did, most decidedly. Our team was handicapped by their weight and experience, and were unable to stop such men as Horner, Weide and Rosenblum. The next game was one of the most exciting of the season, resulting in a no-score tie, though the home team had an edge on the visitors from the beginning. “Heavy” Orr caught a forward pass and would have carried it over the line had he not collided with the goal post, the shock causing him to drop the ball. The team then increased somewhat in efficiency. We walloped McKeesport, were defeated by Butler after putting up a gallant fight, and then in quick succession lost to Peabody, won from Rochester, lost to South High and closed the season on Thanksgiving by defeating Grove City 15 to 0.

BASKETBALL TEAM (1917-1918) The 1917-T8 Basketball Team, though not so successful as in other years, was far from being a failure. Many of the stars being prohibited from playing on account of low grades, and others leaving school somewhat crippled the team, but every fellow left worked just that much harder. Fulkerson as forward and Johnson as guard did great work during the entire season, while Hartman, a Freshman, was another shining light. Marso and Richards did excellent work during the first part of the season but the last few games had to be played without their able assistance. A great deal of credit is due to Mr. Herbst whose efforts were untiring and who rounded up the team in the best manner possible. THE SUMMARY N.C.H.S.

Under the directions of our new coach, Mr. Vaughn, and Miss Sankey a swift and alert team was developed. The fact that the girls were not very large was balanced by their skill in handling the ball. The team will be broken up by graduation, as six of the girls are Seniors, but three girls are left to begin next year, Eleanor Treadwell, Jean Fleming and Elizabeth Kirk. RESULTS OF GAMES N.C.H.S.

BASEBALL AND TRACK BASEBALL In previous years it has been the custom to have a Varsity Baseball and a Varsity Track team. This year, however, it was thought that a schedule arranged for class teams would create more interest and give more boys an opportunity to participate. A team was also composed of members of the faculty. The faculty was the only team which went through the season without a defeat. Standing of the Teams. Won. Lost. Pet.

A club was formed by all those interested in the sport and a schedule of games was played out. In playing the tournament Tom Lamoree and Jack Leonardson remained undefeated and then Tom defeated Jack in a very close contest. Both these boys represented New Castle in a tournament held in New Wilmington on May 31, but New Wilmington carried off the victory. It was found impossible to play other schools which held tournaments, but it is hoped that next year New Castle High will have a thriving and victorious team.

A farmer returning home late at night found a man standing beside the house with a lighted lantern. “What are you doing here?” he asked savagely. For answer came a chuckle and, “It’s only me sir, zur.” The farmer recognized John, his shepherd. “It’s you, John, is it? What on earth are you doing here this time o’night?” Another chuckle, “I’m a-coorting Ann, zur.” “And so you’ve come courting with a lantern you fool! Why I never took a lantern when I courted your mistress!” “No, zur, yo udidn’t zur,” John chuckled. “We can all see you didn’t, zur.” “I know it isn’t right to say ‘this ’ere and that ’are’ but I feel cold in this ear from that air.” During the social evening a woman sang for the guests. One of the guests turned to a meek-looking man sitting at his side and said : “How awful!

Mother says she would like to know.” “Well, after all,” remarked Tommy, who had lost a leg in the war, “there’s one advantage in having a wooden leg.” “What’s that?” asked his friend. “You can hold yer bloomin’ sock with a tin-tack!” chuckled the hero. Friend Husband:—“What can I get you for your birthday?” She:—“O, something for my neck!” On the eventful day he presented her with a bar of soap. End of Letter:—“Good-by, my dear, for the present.

No microbes could live in the stuff we was drinkin’, child.” “What is an anecdote?” asked the teacher. “A short funny tale,” answered a little fellow. “That’s right,” said the teacher. “Now Johnny you may write a sentence on the blackboard containing the word.” Johnny hesitated a moment and then wrote: “A rabbit has four legs and one anecdote.” “Bang!” went the rifles at the army manoeuvres. “Oo-ooo!”’ screamed the pretty girl—a nice, surprised, decorous little scream. She stepped backwards into the arms of a surprised young man. “O!” she said, blushing, “I was frightened by the rifles. I beg your pardon.” “Not at all,” said the young man. “Let’s go and watch the artillery.” Mr. Osborne:—“Why are you eating your lunch in the telephone booth?” Freshie:—“Er-a-a I got limberger sandwiches.” Recruiting Officer:—“So you wish to join our organization?

For fully half an hour she stood there gazing through the glass. Then she came in. She fumbled and fussed, and at length brought out a little packet. This she carefully undid ’til finally a little stub-end came to view. The tobacconist raised his eyebrows inquiringly. “Good afternoon,” said the lady, holding up the stub-end gingerly for inspection. “Here is a remnant of one of my husband’s special cigars. “Have you anything to match it?” “When I don’t want a man’s attentions and he asks me where 1 live, 1 say in the suburbs.” “Ha, Ha! Excellent! but where do you really live, Miss Brown? “In the suburbs, Mr. Short.” “Well, John, in-as-much-as your grandmother died four times last year, I don’t see how you’ll manage to get to any of the ball-games this season.” “But, sir,” said Johnny quietly, “haven’t I told you that grandpa has married again though it was very much against the family’s wishes.” “Poor June! She’s run down another man with a wife and six children.” “Well, she can’t steer, eat chocolates, keep her feet on six pedals, and run down rich and unattached bachelors exclusively.” The story is told of a generous-hearted young man who felt called upon to relieve the sudden cessation of conversation which overtakes the most brilliant social circle. With the blushes mounting to his cheeks he timidly turned to the daughter of the hostess, who was not present in the room and inquired : “Ho-how is you’-your mo-mother? N-not th-that I gi-give a damn bu-bu-bu-but it makes ta-talk.” “John Henry,” said his wife with stony severity, “I saw you coming out of a saloon this afternoon.” “Well you wouldn’t want me to stay in all day, would you?” It was visiting day at the hospital. The visitors were mostly old ladies, and one of them stopped at the bed of a Tommy and asked him a question he had been asked scores of times, thus: “How did you come to be wounded, my brave fellow?” “By a shell, mum,” replied the hero. “Did it explode?” queried the lady. “No.” answered Tommy, rather bored; “it crept up and bit me.” 159 One night three friends were crossing a deep, dry ravine, the banks of which were very precipitous. As the party had been imbibing a little too freely, one of the three had to be assisted up the incline. When thinking himself safe at the top, his friends turned him loose, he fell to the bottom. He lay very still and the other two supposing him severely injured, rushed down to him. As they leaned over to discover his condition, the fallen one exclaimed: “For heaven’s sake, strike a match! I think I’m unconscious!” THEM THREE-CENT TRAIN RIDES Farmer John waited at the station for the limited. He climbed aboard and shambled into a car. “Mister,” he drawled when the conductor halted before him, “is that thar three cents a mile good on this train?” “It is,” replied the conductor brusquely. “Where’s your ticket?” The old man fumbled in the depths of an ancient shot bag and said slowly, “Ain’t got no ticket, Mister, but here be three cents. I never rode on one of these here pesky flyers and I just wanted to feel the sensation. Put me off after I’ve rode one mile.” Virgil:—“They feasted upon painted couches.” “The hidden fires terrify our minds in the clouds.” IT DIDN’T HAPPEN IN N. C. H. S. With an idea of testing his pupils’ knowledge of their mother tongue, a Boston school teacher wrote on the blackboard the well known proverb, “A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse.” Then he told the class to rewrite this saying, using their own words, but retaining the original meaning of the sentence. One youngster wrote, “A spasmodic movement of the optic is as adequate as a slight indication of the cranium to an equine quadruped devoid of its visionary capacities.” HE BLUNDERED In Washington Lieutenant de Tessan of the French aviation corps was approached by a pretty American girl, who said: “And did you kill a German soldier?” “Yes,” he replied. “With which hand did you do it?” “With this right hand.” Thereupon the pretty girl seized his hand and kissed it. Colonel Fabry who was standing nearby, strolled over to the Lieutenant and said: “Heavens, man, why didn’t you tell her that you bit him to death?” ’nE-'OTii Full line of DRUGS, CHEMICALS, PATENT MEDICINES, STATIONERY and SUNDRIES WE CAN FILL YOUR DOCTOR’S PRESCRIPTIONS WE SERVE RIECK’S ICE CREAM R.
