ME-Cfl-HI 1 an fUrs. iKnbrrta who has been a true friend and a helpful counsellor to all of us, and who has inspired us to higher things through her own superb leadership Slip miaas nf 1919 dedicate ahin Annual w ME-Cfl-HI f ME-Cfl-HI TO THE SENIORS “Carry On.” This is an expression made famous by the war. It is no more applicable in war times than in peace. At the time of graduation it is full of significance. There are many things that should be carried on from high school into one’s future work. The first—education. The high school should be only a beginning. There is no excuse now-a-days for a boy or girl not receiving a college education, if he or she has the determination. Lack of funds is no excuse. Provision is made in nearly all colleges to meet this condition. There is a temptation everywhere among high school graduates to be satisfied with present conditions; to be contented with their present educational attainments, when often they ought not to be satisfied. A liberal education is a good investment for any young person who desires it, if he or she has the health and ability to obtain it, no matter what occupation may afterwards be followed. Howrever, it is not necessary for one to go to college in order to continue one’s education. Education should be made a life long process regardless of one’s calling in life. At this stage of your progress you should realize how little you really know and how' much you yet have to learn, and thereby see the great importance of continuing your education. In the high school one learns to appreciate the study of good literature, of history, science, and kindred subjects. There is no excuse for not continuing the study of these subjects after leaving high school although one does not go to college. Much pleasure and benefit may be derived from a continuation of the study of one or more of these subjects throughout life. So I would say, “carry on.” Do not permit your education to stop after graduation, but “carry on.” High School life is full of enthusiasms. Enthusiasm is a good asset to carry on with you. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. We should lay up a stock of enthusiasms in youth or else we shall reach the end of our journey with an empty heart, for we are sure to lose a great many of them by the way. Enthusiasm makes w'ork easy. Enthusiasm helps one to enjoy life. One can not attain the greatest success in any line of w'ork unless one has enthusiasm. Enthusiasm enables one to overcome obstacles. Then carry on your enthusiasms of youth into your after life. Many habits have been formed in high school that will be beneficial throughout life. Regularity and punctuality are two. In the business world these are indispensible assets. Your success will be in proportion to your strict observance of these two habits. Carry them on. The high school should have taught you the meaning and necessity of hard work. In this day of keen competition and intense struggle for existence, hard work is a prime requisite. If you are afraid of hard w'ork and diligent application then your prospects for success are indeed limited. Through hard work a person with only mediocre ability w ill succeed, while one with brilliant attainments without it will fail. Do r NE-Cfl-HI not be afraid of hard work. If you do not have this habit, attain it. “Carry on.” Another thing you should have developed in high school is the power of concentration. How important is this factor in the preparation of lessons. It enables you to do in a short time what otherwise would require a long period of time to accomplish, or what would not be accomplished at all. Concentration enables one to save time. The most successful men in every calling of life have the habit of concentration. Thomas A. Edison is an example of what concentration means and will do. He has the ability to concentrate his mind and energy for days at a time on a single problem. This trait has made him the most successful inventor of all times. Whatever measure of this accomplishment you have, carry it on with you as you leave school. You are to be congratulated on the success you have attained in school work. It means much to be graduated from high school. You are being graduated at an opportune time. It is a great privilege to be entering on one’s life work in an age such as this. You are to be envied for the possibilities that are before you. There are many opportunities for young men and women of education who have the habits of hard work, of regularity and punctuality, who have enthusiasm for the work in which they are engaged and who have the power of concentration. It is to be hoped that the high school has given vou these qualities. It is a hard world into which you are going. It knows no favorites. What you make of life will depend on your own individual efforts. The world will soon learn to know you even better than you know yourself. Play the game fair and square. We all say God-speed and may the greatest success be yours. “Carry on.” FACTS ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL 1. Location—Southeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and Reis Street, New Castle, Penna. 2.

WILKINSON The thinking people of this country are becoming more alive every day to the spreading of Bolshevism. This is evidenced by the great number of both business and professional men who are making a special study of it. Not only this, but they are writing about it to enable the people to understand how widespread is this menace that is threatening the peace of the world. Virulent radicalism is sweeping all nations. It is a contagious and fatal disease growing from the unhealthy economic conditions left by the war. It is time that all people should innoculate themselves against this deadly contagion. Without doubt, the most efficient way to do this is in the education of the masses. The great mass of the people are not original. They simply echo the thoughts of the more educated people, and it is the duty of responsible people of this country to make clear to the masses the real conditions. This is probably the only qualified way of combating this menace. That there is a great wave of dissatisfaction throughout the country is generally recognized. But let us look at the people who originated Bolshevism. As is quite well known, it was first started in Russia by the Germans. That alone should be sufficient to cause the people to recognize or at least look for falacies. Originally Germany’s idea was to poison the mind of the Russian people against the allies. If they could do this it would be a very valuable asset to them. In their Russian propaganda they stated that the United States, France, and England were plotting together to get control of Russia and to divide it among themselves. To have a better line on this, Lenine and Trotsky were simply bought, although these are the recognized leaders, they are under the supervision of the German general stafT, which was placed in Petro-grad by the Imperial German government. What was done and is being n IE-(7 1-H n done by these and their associates needs no telling except that today Russia is a ruined nation; and is in such a state of turmoil that, as a former member of the British Parliament says, “One shoots another thinking he may be his enemy and finds the dead man to be his brother. Princes, peasants, autocrats, rich, and poor all go down in the same mass of dirt and blood.” Everything is ruined and destroyed even the churches, in which some very old and sacred antiquities were kept. As a Chinaman puts it who saw the churches being blown to pieces by Russian shells, “Russian, him very bad man, he fights against his own God.” But all this is characteristic of imposed governments such as the Bol-sheviki. The Bolshevik is a super-Hun. It is claimed that the crimes perpetrated on the Belgians and French are mild compared with those practiced by the Bolsheviki. There is nothing in the category of fright-fulness unknown to them. One would like to believe that if these men were once Russians all consciousness of love of their country had been drained from their hearts before their subservience to those who are enemies of all things that are dear and sacred to Russia. Russia is a great field of magnetic Bolshevism whose lines of force extend to all parts of the world. In Argentina for instance, great strikes there for some time para-Iized industry, until soldiers were able to arrest two thousand strikers of whom eighty percent were Bolsheviki agitators. United States Secretary of Labor Wilson, declares that the chief object of the strikes that occurred in Seattle, Butte, Patterson, and Lawrence was to cause a general revolution in order to establish a soviet form of government in this country. Unheard of as this may seem, nevertheless it is a fact and must be considered. Government officials and labor bosses agree that all the radical movements in the country have found a common cause in Bolshevism, and that the I. W. W., anarchists, and Socialists, in fact, all the dissatisfied elements, particularly the foreign elements, are perfecting an amalgamation with one oject and one only, and that the complete overthrow of the United States government and the establishment of a Bolsheviki republic, if such a one could exist. Unbelievable as this may seem, the United States has a host of Bolsheviki and Socialist agitators who are exerting all their powers to perfect their scheme. Such slogans as these have been found in the United States mail: “The war is over, now for the revolution.” “Every strike is a small revolution. and a dress rehearsal for the big one.” These came from alleged revolutionary sources. Few people would believe that a large percent of the strikes in this country were the direct results of some branch of Bolshevism. Yet despite these repeated warnings the people do not realize the danger to which they are subjected. But being unprepared is no excuse. These people are being used as tools of a gang of blusterers. ’nhe men in their ranks have never held anything without wrecking it. rhey are purely destructionists. They are men who have never made a success of anything, who have failed utterly at everything, and who are vhe rankest kind of incompetents. The Russian exponents of this plan think nothing of standing five hundred social democrats against the wall and shooting them before Hj� ? f ME-Cfl-HI breakfast. Such things as these could not be countenanced by decent people. These people are extremists of the worst kind, and must be dealt with accordingly. Their work may be seen in all parts of the world. Evpn in this town they are working but they are under the surveilance of government men. The example that the Bolsheviki have set in Russia is enough to show its methods. There is no form of government on the face of the earth that can successfully operate under the direction of a gang of irresponsible, inhuman degenerates such as the Bolsheviki. From men who have made a thorough study of it, Bolshevism is found to be economically unsound, socially wrong and industrially it is an impossibility. 40 r NE-Cfl-HI By PAUL D. SHAFER During the last decade many great and man’elous histories have been written concerning the wars and other events of the present day. The conclusion of the World War attracted much attention but of even more vital interest to us is the history of the eminent class of nineteen hundred and nineteen. Early in September of the year Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen, the side walks fronting Reis Street and Lincoln Avenue were crowded with laughing children, although many knees were shaking because of thoughts of a new school, new teachers, new acquaintances and world-wise Sophomores. Many were the threats heard in the crow’ds of upperclassmen against “those green Freshies;” but we pressed forward, undaunted, upon the opening of the school doors. Once inside we were separated from friends, thrust into class-rooms containing strangers and severe looking teachers, and were given cards which meant nothing to us. However, after a few' weeks of rigorous discipline, wre became accustomed to the ways of a student and forgetting former fears, we entered enthusiastically into all athletics and social doings. One of the most memorable events of our first year was the Senior-Freshman reception on October the eighth. This reception accomplished its purpose in getting the Freshmen better acquainted with the upper-classmen. At the beginning of the second semester Mr. Thalman having noticed how sedate and serious w’e looked and recognizing our w'onder-ful ability, permitted us to organize making our class the first Freshmen class to organize in four years. Those of us who had not succumbed to the flood of examinations, chose as our first president, Marvin Richael, under whose guidance we soon made a name for ourselves. That year, the honor of the class of nineteen was upheld in basketball by both a boys’ and a girls’ team. The members of these, being quite inexperienced, improved this opportunity to gain all knowledge of the game possible. In the fall of nineteen hundred and sixteen we re-entered school thoroughly aware of the fact that we were Sophomores. That year wre selected William Lysle Newbury as our president and chose as our permanent colors, purple and white. We proved our ability in dramatics in the “Mikado;” we manifested our worth in literary standards by the names from our ranks that adorned the- honor roll and w’e were well represented in all athletics. 41 =r ME-Cfl-HI On the twenty-fourth of September, nineteen hundred and seventeen, we again took up our studies as wise Juniors with Don Eckles as our president. On December the fourteenth we successfully staged the play “Mice and Men”, which was credited as one of the best amateur plays ever produced in the high school auditorium. It was this year that we, unblushingly took the pep out of Eighteen by defeating her football team against great odds, especially in weight. This being our Junior year, all of our efforts were centered on the annual Junior-Senior banquet. In fact, we became so engrossed in our preparations that, on the day of this event we forgot to come to school and as a result we missed the next circus that came to town. This banquet was held at the Elk’s Club and, as the usual banquet was not given on account of the war, a light luncheon was served. The chief amusement of the evening was dancing. At this party we did our best to give Eighteen the greatest social event of their school career. On September the ninth, of the year nineteen hundred and eighteen, we returned to school, most of us for the last time and began our school work as earnest Seniors. As such, it was necessary for us to conduct ourselves in a manner that would make us worthy examples to the underclassmen. We chose as our president, Ralph “Agnes” Cooper to whose wise leadership we attribute much of the success of our final year. Owing to the epidemic of Spanish Influenza our last year in high school was badly broken. This, however, did not prevent us from striving to make this year the best of our high school course. On November the twenty-second we gave a reception to the hundreds of “comrades in knowledge” who had joined our ranks in September. A short play entitled “The Coon Rehearsal” was given for their benefit and the remainder of the evening was devoted to getting acquainted. On April the eleventh, the class of nineteen held its first real party at the Odd Fellows’ Hall. The usual diversions were engaged in and light refreshments were served by the young ladies of the class. The Senior play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” was staged May the first and second with great success. With such players as Madeleine Nail, Helen Leslie, John McCormick and Floyd Yeager our class is well represented from a dramatic standpoint. On “Senior Day” advice was given to the three lower classes which was of a most mature nature and which was greatly appreciated. Instead of the usual dinner for the faculty at noon, a picnic was held after which a dance was enjoyed. From our ranks were drawn athletes for football, basketball, baseball, and track and next year the school will miss the services of Orr, Yeager, and Daniels not a little and it will be nearly impossible to fill the places of “Lib” Kirk and Mary Lou Eckles on the girls’ basketball team. This year, in spite of Junior prophecies, our class basketball team won the class championship. This year, “The Monitor”, our school paper, under the editorship of “Lib” Kirk reached a height of perfection hitherto unattained. 42 As a last great social event, a banquet was given the Class of Nineteen by the Class of Twenty. This was held at the Elk’s Club and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. This is the history of the class that is seated before you, the renowned class of Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen. This class has made a name for itself in the classroom, on the athletic field, on the gymnasium floor and on the stage. We have done our best to live up to the ideals set forth to us as the real ideals and in our short term of four years in High School have tried to leave behind us a record which lives up to the school motto of “Nothing but the Best” and we hope to take this same motto out into the world or into college and by so doing leave there a record as fine as that of our high school years. 43 fHlE- Cfl-H I j THE NEW STAR By PEARL EWENS As the purple twilight dims our brightest day. And the flowery world is enfold’d in dewy sleep. Sending to earth its silv’ry ray, A new star appears in that midnight deep— A tiny light ’neath the soft moon’s sheen, A symbol of our class—’Nineteen! Four years have quickly come and flown, Like winged birds—we know’ not w'here. We can proudly say no task’s undone, Each and all of us have had our share. The hopes, happiness and honors we gain. For you, dear High School, will be proclaimed. So now let us look at the vision As it stands confronting us all. Oh, Star, aid our decision To overcome what ill may befall, And to choose the road that will lead us From this path to the sign post—Success. f NE-Cfl-HI We are not leaving our future life to fate. But with our guiding star above We are saying farewell to our classmates And the dear old school that we love. And though new faces in these halls are seen, They’ll ne’er forget us—the Class of ’Nineteen. Oh Constellation, so clear and bright, As you beam down upon the world, Prudently guide our embryo light, Let thy wisdom to it be unfurled. Through the years that may come and more swiftly pass; Intrusted to you are the hopes of our class. 45 By ROBERT M.

By EARL BOOK During the war poisonous gases were used to a great advantage on both sides and now as the war is over you may wonder to what uses these gases may be put. For they are still manufactured to a lesser extent in remote places of w'hich you know nothing. Very few people know of the location of these factories but I happen to be a very close friend of the owner of one of these Diants, interested in the manufacture of these gases. Being very much in his confidence I learned by chance from him one day that these gases have led to the discovery of other gases possessed of remarkable influence on the mind. At the time he dropped this hint I instantly thought of my task as prophet for the Class of 1919. I explained my need for a glimpse into the future to this gas expert. He at once swore me to absolute secrecy and proceeded to explain the properties of a newly discovered gas, promising that if I should submit to the administration of a dose of it, the future would at once become an open book wherein might be read the future of my classmates. We all know that science has performed feats in the last war that seem almost impossibilities. I do not know whether this gas really had the power to reveal the future as it shall be or whether the experience upon which I entered was a dream or a veritable revelation. But greater improbabilities have come to pass and all we can do is to wait and see —time will tell. At any rate the gas was administered and what followed becomes the subject of my narrative. After undergoing the terrible sensation of falling into a bottomless pit I seemed to regain consciousness. We seemed to be living in an age of electricity and science. The common means of transportation were airships. I was aboard a large ship of the dirigible type preparing for a transcontinental trip. I discovered the pilot in charge of the ship to be a former member of the illustrious class of ’19, George Sands. He informed me that several of our former class mates were on board, for this trip. He took me around with him on his daily inspection trip, and the first persons whom I saw were John Wilson and Glenn Throop busily engaged in swabbing up deck. We passed through the state room halls where I saw a porter whom I recognized as Lewis Williams. Under his arm was a bundle of candy boxes which he told me were addressed to Jane Agne3 Phillips. A c hamber maid was following him, Mary McCaskey, who took care of the dresses of the chorus girls of the ship vaudeville troupe. He next took me to the kitchen where I met the chef, Harry Orr and his two assistants, —=f ME-CH-HI Doris McBride and Odetta Hodgkinson. Among the waitresses gossipping in the kitchen were Elsie Clarke, Jennette Snyder, and Fanny Moresky. We next went to the upper deck to the billiard rooms where I saw Earl Ruby and Arthur Rigby playing pea-pool and smoking cigarettes. Helen Book was in charge of the room racking up the balls. Pilot Sands took me to his cabin where he told me that this was the first trip for this airship and that it had many new devices which he believed would prove quite successful. He also told me that Syd. Altshuler was the inventor of these new devices. Syd got his first fame in the airship business during the Liberty Loan Parades in New Castle. That evening a ball was given, the proceeds to go to the aid of an Old Maid’s Home where some of our former class mates resided, Ada-laide Wellendorft, Mae Wendt, Mildred Davenport, Marian Thompson and Elva Sowash. The music was furnished by a jazz orchestra, the leader being Professor Lauren Thayer with his famous violin. Two of the most noticeable dancers on the floor were Earl Graham and Adelaide Early. Tiring of watching the ball 1 wandered to another part of the ship to where a show was in progress. The first act was composed of “movies,” the main feature of it being a vampire reel featuring “Theda Bara of the Age,” Gladyse Snyder. The next act was composed of Aubrey Morrison’s Dazzling Beauties. The chorus girls were Hannah Agan, Francis Cox, Alice Dean, Florence Zehner, Anabel Hall and Lucile Nesbitt. The comedians in the show were John McCormick as the Irishman, Aubrey Morrison as the “Jew,” and Bob Toler as the “Negro.” On the way back to my stateroom I saw in the moonlight, Lysle Newbury and Elizabeth Kirk sitting in one chair, deeply engrossed in a conversation from which interesting results seemed likely to come. The next day we heard a crowd cheering in one of the salons, then we heard the sarcastic tone of the famous orator, M. S. Wilkinson, raised against the evils of poolrooms. Among some of the most interested listeners were Marvin Richael and Kenneth Williams, who, Pilot Sands told me, were devoted to various lines of social betterment. By this time we were nearing Chicago and learned that we were to remain there several hours. I decided to visit Joe Dockman, one of the most prominent lawyers of the day and a resident of that city. I went to his office and he was cordial in his greetings. I needed no introduction to a client of his who happened to be in the office at the time, Ralph Cooper. He had just purchased a farm on the outskirts of Chicago where he and Elizabeth (Ryers) were going to settle down to hard, manual labor and lead a simple life. After I left his office I was almost knocked down by a big National car of the latest model being driven recklessly down the street by a young lady w hom I recognized as a classmate, her maiden name having been Nell Armstrong. As we were about to leave Chicago my attention was called to a crowd listening to a candidate for President of the United States on the wet ticket, Jesse Black. Ruth Bigham, I was told, 51 was running against him. Mildred Gilliland and Pearl Ewens had promised Jesse their united support. That night aboard our airship we were entertained by a boxing match staged by two heavyweight champions of the world, Edmond Hamilton and Harvey Suosio. The next day, we stopped at Salt Lake City where we heard the greatest evangelist in the country. Rev. Garth W. Rapson. He had with him some of the most noted musicians in the world. A quartet composed of Ed. Canby, Earl Dufford, Harold Boak and Leonard Stutz, accompanied on the piano by Francis Kissinger, who made even more motions with his head and hands than he did in the days when he figured in H. S. orchestra. Later that night I met Ralph Byers, who I learned had become a Morman in order to make up for time lost in his high school days. He told me the first two wives had been Madeleine Nail and Jane Agnes Phillips who had made it so interesting for him that he had decided that the more the merrier. He said that his wives helped keep him, Madeleine by teaching vocal lessons to a group that just arrived from South Africa and Jane by the sale of her old candy boxes. j The next day as we were sailing very fast we had motor trouble and had to light quickly. Some w-ere a little shaken up, so we called a doctor. He arrived bringing a Red Cross ambulance and nurse. The driver of the Ford ambulance was Lena Green so none thought ourselves hurt enough to ride back in her jolting car. When P. Dale Mitchell saw’ the beautiful Red Cross nurse who accompanied the ambulance, he developed a sudden illness. As the nurse, Mary Lou Eckles, bent over him to administer restoratives, he looked up smilingly and wonderingly into her beautiful eyes and seemed so contented that someone in the crowd said “P. D. M.” On the arrival of a big, rough, w estern surgeon. Dr. Yeager, Dale soon got better. But one of the beautiful young ladies, Mrs. Helen Leslie Shaffer who was on her wfay to Arizona, to join her husband, Paul Shaffer, had her ankle bruised, but Dr. Yeager assured her that he would care for it tenderly and that it would be allright soon. This was the extent of our injuries and our mechanics, John Morris and Clifford Williams told us that the motor would soon be repaired, so we took a little trip to a nearby ranch. When we asked who the owner was we were told that it was Harold Kildoo who had become a rough, bully westerner, and had married Dorothy Houk. They told us that Norman Hunter was living with them but he had become demented over an affair of the heart. We were very much interested in the sights about the ranch, but our machine was ready and we must hurry on to Arizona— Helen was anxious about Paul. We stopped in Arizona to let Helen off. Paul Shaffer and Homer Weitz were mining engineers hard at work trying to mine silver in the cactus deserts of Arizona. We met Zek McGaffic touring the country w'ith his wife Eleanor Moore, in the interest of Woman Suffrage. Our journey ended next day at San Francisco where Aubrey Morrison lost another of his dancing girls, as Merrit Mitchell, a scientist starving in his vain efforts to invent a gas to control women’s tongues, came along and took his Anabell (Hall). ME-Cfl-HI J5 I met an old friend, Don Rigby, who had become a noted philosopher. This was not strange because Don was a deep thinker and a student of books in his school days. I asked him about some of our other class mates. He told me that Ethel Ward was the wife of a sailor and was traveling in the Arctic Ocean. He also told me that Florence Geiger was a noted toe-dancer of the Hawaiian style, even surpassing the Hawaiians themselves. He said that Elizabeth Newell had followed her father’s footsteps and became mayoress of a city in Panama and was putting a heavy fine on people caught snowballing. I next asked him if he had heard anything about Martha Triplett lately and he told me that she had been happily married to Marion Marchand and that he was the proud father of “triplets.” He said that some of the girls who had liked school so well hated to leave it, so had become teachers. Among these were Francis Fullerton, Minnie Federman and Agnes Howell. Lula Kevine and Gertrude Levine, whom we thought were bashful girls, were traveling with a circus. He further called my attention to a society column in the leading ’Frisco daily where there appeared the name of Vincenzo Prioletti, who had figured prominently in a fashionable ball given the night before. I wondered whether his apparent popularity with the ladies might be explained by his year’s training as the one boy in the Vergil class of N. C. H. S. Late that afternoon Don led me to a beautiful building. I found myself in a handsomely appointed room. Beautiful, stylishly gowned ladies sat waiting their turns for the attention of one whom I recognized as Rachel Braunstein. She was giving those ladies the benefit of a talent she had developed during her school days, the art of hair-dressing. Towards evening we went to a large academy of music. Several musicians played and were moderately applauded. Then a girl whom I immediately recognized as Susanna Wendt came out. Her appearance was the signal for a wild outburst of applause. When the audience had quieted down, she played with an exquisite interpretation and expression that balks description. A shower of bouquets covered the stage when she had finished. On the program she was described as “the world’s greatest musician.” John Skuba who was famous in Science in his high school days, was seen at work trying to discover still more wonderful results from gases than had ever before been heard of. My guide told me of noticing in the morning paper the arrest of a former member of our class, Catherine Hodkinson, for being a leader in 1. W. W. movements. She had made a speech in favor of the Bol-sheviki, who were getting a strong foothold in the country. I suddenly came out of my sleep and found myself lying on a couch in a laboratory. My friend was bending over me, telling me that we must hurry in order to catch the train to be back in New Castle for class night. So we hurriedly left the building, caught the train and I am here as you see, and have foretold to you the future of this wonderful class, as it was revealed to me. 53 r r IE-O' 1-H 1 THE SENIORS’ FAREWELL Now is the time for us to bid fond farewell to those whom we leave behind to pursue knowledge. In one sense, these adieux arouse regret and sorrow in our hearts for we will mourn over our absenc, from the Alma Mater. The good times, the pleasant memories, and the rich friendships that we have had in dear old Ne-Ca-Hi will always remain with us w herever we may wander over this earth’s vast expanse. It is sad because it is over. But in another sense, it is just beginning! The word “commencement’ signifies it; “graduation” literally means progress. We have completed one cycle of our little lives, and now stand ready to enter upon a larger and better one. Our four years of preparation in high school have merely fashioned and trained us more fully so that we might be able to enter this larger phase of life with broader and more developed minds, with characters more sensative to the wants of humanity, and with the willing desire to fit ourselves to fill those wants. To you who remain w'e say goodbye. In you we place all our hopes of making our school bigger and better. In you we place our confidence. W e know that you can fill our places perhaps better than we did, and we earnestly plead with you to make your school mean something to you. It gives you its best, you must give it your best. ARE THERE TOO MANY ACTIVITIES IN OUR HIGH SCHOOL The criticism has been made, and we have all heard it. that “there’s too much doing at high school. My John goes to all the clubs, practices with all the athletic teams, gets home just in time for supper and then if there isn’t any play practice or committee meeting or club party, he spends his time on his oboks. It isn’t that he loafs all the time, but some how his monthly grades are appallingly low’.” Are there too many activities in our high school? There are the departmental clubs, such as French club, Latin club. Commercial club, there are the athletic teams, there are the Y. M. and the Y. W. clubs, and various other organizations, to say nothing of the “extras,” such as class plays and special committees. A student may participate in as many of these as he wishes however, the new student government regulations, which will probably become effective next year, will restrict the number somewhat. But the school could not exist without them. They relieve the monotony of the otherwise lifeless grind. They excite school loyalty and class spirit. They constitute the play and enjoyment of school life. They strive to balance studious labor. But there can be such a state in which they outweigh the books, just as the inferior is sometimes valued more than the superior. After all we must consider for what purpose our high school was built, why the citizens of New Castle were taxed in order that a splendid and adequate institution of learning might be constructed. Are we losing sight of this high and ideal purpose in our excitement to busy ourselves to too great an extent in the essential but not fundamental phases of our school life? To you who remain, we Seniors, take this opportunity to gently advise you that not too much of one, nor too much of the other will bring the est results, but we leave it to your able judgment and put our trust in you that you do not become so excessively engrossed in the activities of the school that you live solely for them and lose sight of the real goal of a high school education. STUDENT GOVERNMENT This year our principal, Mr. Orth, laid out plans for an organization through which the student body could govern itself. It is made up of three ranches: a House of Representatives, composed of the chief executive officer or officers of each activity: a Senate, composed of two student members elected by the House, and two faculty members appointed by the principal, who himself constitutes the fifth member; and a council of Faculty Advisors elected by the faculty themselves. The first two organized and elected officers about the middle of the year and then because of lack of something definite to do interest lagged and not much action was taken. Why did interest lag? Why did this organization fail to accomplish anything? Surely not because there was no need of its services. If properly managed and directed an organization of this kind could work wonders in any school. By letting students shoulder some of the responsibility which they usually force others to bear for them, and to make them look out for themselves teaches independence and reliability. Would not the student body be more likely to have greater interest in reforms and regulations which it makes itself through its representatives? Would not the too numerous cases of tardiness decline if the student body inflicted its own punishment? Would not the habit of defacing school property fall into decay if the student felt that he was a part of the whole system and could indirectly have control over himself for the betterment of the school? All these questions remain yet to be solved. The results of student government have yet to be seen after that plan has been given a fair chance. But we, the Senior class, desire nothing better than to see in the future, when we revisit our Alma Mater, a definite, active and well-organized system of student government in practice. _ me-ch - hT — WHO’S WHO IN NEW CASTLE HIGH SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION President O.

So pleasant are the memories of the good times we have had this term that we are indeed glad it is not our last year in beloved Ne-Ca-Hi. We are a lively set; may 1 say, this is noticeable of the girls especially. Our girls’ basketball team won the championship last year and again this year although we had given a number of our best players to the varsity. Although the boys failed to win the cup they played well and lost gamely. Surely a Junior class never set a better example for lower classmen than the Class of 1920 in sports, in studies, and in society. April 16, a dance was held at the I. O. O. F. hall and every one had one jolly good time. The crowning events of the year were the Junior-Senior banquet and the Junior play, entitled “A Chinese Honeymoon.” The officers of the class have been: President .......-......... Paul Wilson Vice-President ...........Gussie Owens Secretary ............. Kathryn Matheny Treasurer ...............-...Earl Rigby 65 5J CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE As the sun rose majestically over the hilltops, on one bright morning in the autumn of ’17, it heralded the coming of the Class of ’21, and on that same morning Mr. Orth seated himself at the office desk to assume for the first time, the duties of the principalship. Despite some few petty trials and tribulations, our Freshman year was a success. All school activities and especially athletics were faithfully supported by the class. We made our debut in society at a dance given at Cascade Park. Our Sophomore year has been an undoubted success. Many brilliant stars have been added to the roster of our high school athletes and others glimmering faintly on the horizon will very likely be seen more clearly next year. If there is doubt in anyone’s mind as to the learning and wisdom which we have absorbed during our sojourn in Ne-Ca-Hi, let him consult the oracle called the “Honor Roll.” In memory of those from the high school who fought and died in France to save Democracy, each class has planted two trees. If the trees planted by the Class of ’21 flourish as wrell as the class for which they stand, then indeed they will hold their heads proudly in the air, undaunted by the storms which will blow through their branches, in the years to come. The last important event of the year will be a party, with which we shall celebrate the close of this, our second successful year in these fair halls of renown. And now with the sun dial pointing past the noon of our high school career, we hope that Dame Fortune will smile even more favorably on us next year. The class officers for this year are: President .....................Tom Lamoree Vice-President ............................Dorothae Fleming Secretary ...................... -..Margaret Byers Cheer Leader ........................Thornton Allen 69 F ME-Cfl-HI CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO We, the very verdant class of 1922, entered this grand institution last September, four hundred and forty strong. For various reasons our numbers have slightly decreased, but we have been an important factor in high school life. Socially, we did not do much this year. We appreciated decidedly however, the enthusiastic reception given in our honor by our upper classmates, the Seniors, in the early part of the term. Athletically, we have supported our dear school loyally. We attended the games and furnished material for the teams. One of our number, Toley Be-van, received a varsity letter for football, while still others received reserve letters. As a whole we feel that we have been successful this year and we eagerly await our future in which we will strive along with the other classes to better our school and to live up to its motto, “Nothing But The Best.” Those whom we elected to guide us through our first year in these fair halls are: President...................

The scenery was in charge of Miss Margaret Thompson, head of the Art Department. The misunderstandings of the lovers were cleverly brought about by Oberon and his mischievous messenger. Puck, who, finally seeing what harm was being done, righted the mistakes and brought them together to live happily ever after. The mechanicals enlivened the scenes, making a comedy of what might have been otherwise a tragedy.

The one selected was “A Chinese Honeymoon,” a modern musical comedy. The plot was good and the music catchy and although late in starting, the work was taken up in earnest and the play progressed rapidly. Under the direction of Miss Hazel Williams, dramatic coach, and Carroll P. Kearns, musical director, the production was a tremendous success. The plot was laid in China where Mr. and Mrs. Pineapple, from England, were sojourning on their honeymoon. Tom Heatherton, nephew of Mr. Pineapple was also in China and had fallen deeply in love with Soo Soo, niece of the Emperor. After many misunderstandings and complications the play ended happily for all. “CAST OF CHARACTERS” Mr. Samuel Pineapple Marie (Mrs. Pineapple) Fi Fi, the maid .....

Under the able management of Mr. E. F. Kurtz, a violinist of prominence, the orchestra has been one of the successful features of the school for several years. It would have been an even more prominent organization this year if the “flu” ban had not interfered with its work. It v. as because of this that the orchestra did not give a concert as has been their custom in past years. The orchestra meets for practice every Monday afternoon.

The first “flu ban” went into effect just as plans were being made to start the club for the year and no definite organization was made until after the Christmas vacation. Meetings were held regularly, once a week, from that time to the last of March, in the Y. M. C. A. banquet room or the high school cafeteria. The club has been fortunate in hearing many good speakers from whose interesting and enlightening talks much benefit has been derived. The organization owes the securing of these speakers and the great success of the Hi-Y as a whole, to Mr. Patterson, secretary of the Boys’ Department of the Y. M. C. A.

We have tried to make everyone at some time bear some responsibility and in this way have aroused more interest in the work. We have endeavored to make our programs not only interesting but also practical, for instance, we have had an address on “Books,’’and another on “Clothes.” Not the least of our activities has been the raising of money with which we will send delegates to the High School Girls’ Conference where new ideas will be gotten for the great benefit of next year’s club. We have not had an altogether smooth and easy time throughout the year for the “flu” epidemic has hindered our club just as it has all other activities. Notwithstanding this, the year has been quite a success, and we are sure every member has obtained some good from our work. The officers for this year are: President ............... Elizabeth Kirk Vice-President ......Catherine Hodkinson Secretary.......................Lena Green Treasurer ......................Wilhelmina Nothdurft r NE-Cfl-hl 1 THE aDELPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY ADELPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY Another year has been added to the history of the Adel-phic Literary Society, one of the oldest organizations in the school. The Society has endeavored to live up to the high standard set in other years. The membership of the club this year reached a height never attained in past years. It was made up chiefly of Juniors and Seniors, with a few Sophomores the last semester. The purpose of the organization has been to teach and practice parliamentary law and to forward and develop the art of public speaking. The club owes much of its success of the past year to Miss Hazel Williams who acted as faculty advisor. THE SPANISH CLUB SPANISH CLUB One of the newest and most interesting organizations in our High School is the Spanish Club. The club has just completed its second year under the able supervision of Miss Bedford. Its weekly meetings have included short business sessions followed by special programs. These programs have been of great benefit to the Spanish students, enabling them to express their thoughts in Spanish. The Club has been carried on this year by the second year class composed mostly of Seniors, who feel very proud that they have had a part in the successful year of this club. Their sincere wish is that next year the remaining students may achieve greater things, and have a larger and better organization. Officers: President ......... Vice-President Secretary .........

The purpose of this club is to increase interest in the study of Latin in the lower classes although much benefit is received by the upper classmen. Two interesting features of the programs carried out by the Latin Club members were the serial presentation and explanation of Roman names, and the learning of famous Latin songs. The enrollment this year shows ninety-three members whose hearty response and regular attendance at all meetings justifies the Latin Club in regarding itself as the most successful department organization in the school.

E. Baer. All High School students who have studied any scientific subjects are eligible, and there are now listed among our ranks ninety members. The meetings are held the second Friday of every month, the third period, in the auditorium. On account of the several enforced vacations it has been impossible to take the usual trips to places of interest this year. At the first meeting of the club the general plans for the year were discussed and the following officers were elected: President ...................... Lysle Newbury Vice-President .................Howard Richards Secretary .................. Elizabeth Newell Treasurer.......................Esther McClintock Committee on Arrangements—Arthur Reese, Merritt Mitchell, Mary Blackford, Mary McCaskey, William Newell. The second meeting of the club was held February 14, at which time the following sciences were explained : Household Chemistry, Genevieve Fleming. Zoology, Ellis Diefendorfer. Physics, Robert Toler March 11, 1919 Talk on “Nature Study”, Miss Sloane. Piano Solo, Lauren Thayer. Life History of the “Armadillo” and “Horned Toad”, Elizabeth Hoover.

The first members were those of the second year French class. Near the close of the year five French I members were taken in, so that they would be able to start the club the coming year. The French Club has been greatly hindered this year on account of the “flu” epidemic. At the second meeting it was decided to enlarge the Club, adding to it those of the French I and French II classes holding a certain average. The Club has endeavored to have an interesting as well as an instructive program at each meeting. We feel that the French Society is doing a good work and hope it may be continued during the coming years. The officers for this year have been: Catherine Hodkinson ....................President Mary Lou Eckles .................. Secretary THE COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES With Mr. Clark as director and faculty supervisor, the Commercial Club has just completed an interesting and active year. The first meeting was held on Jan. 3, 1919 in the auditorium. It was composed almost entirely of old members, who discussed plans for the year and elected the following officers: President Madeline Nail Vice-President Lottie Sadler Secretary Beatrice Gaston Treasurer Earl Dufford Sergeant-at-Arms Jean Yingling President Madeleine Nail arranged by the entertainment committee with Thorton Allen as chairman. We feel that the Commercial Club has been a decided success this year, all owing to the hearty co-operation it has received from the members of the Commercial Department, and we hope that the remaining members will be so well pleased with the products of this year’s work, that they will carry on their interest and enthusiasm, and make next year’s club finer and even better than this. NE-Cfl-HI 1 THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES With every student a member of the Associated Student Activities Association and the students electing their own officers in the various organizations, this group composed of the chief officer or officers of each activity is logically named the House of Representatives of the A. S. A. It represents the student body, and also the faculty through two of its members elected by the group, and forms a medium between both for the betterment of the school.

NE-Cfl-hl SUMMARY OF ATHLETICS FOR 18-’19 Athletics at Ne-Ca-Hi have enjoyed a very successful year, both from a playing and a financial standpoint. Although the football season was badly broken up by the influenza epidemic, we were able to play six games, only one of which was lost. The boys at all times showed the proper fighting spirit and “pep”, never at any time letting up until the final whistle. They played their best game against Salem, Ohio, running over them twenty-two to nothing. In basketball we had one of the best teams in the history ot the school. Starting with practically a green team we kept advancing until in the final game of the season against New Brighton we showed class equal to that of any team in the league. The bright spots in the season’s play were the victories over Butler (the first in the school’s history), Beaver Falls, and New Brighton. The final standing showed us in third place which we succeeded in taking by winning four of the last five games played. We also landed second place in the Industrial league, winning twelve out of fourteen games. This spring baseball and track are being put on a “varsity” basis again and we hope to lay a foundation for teams which another year should take an equal rank with those produced in football and basketball. Interclass athletics also play an important part in the school’s activities many of the “varsity” men getting their first training here. The basketball league this year enjoyed one of the most exciting races yet held and it was only after a great struggle that the Freshmen and Sophomore teams were eliminated and that the Seniors conquered the Juniors in the final series. A class baseball schedule is being played and thus far the teams seem very evenly matched. The interclass track meet is to be held during the middle of May and a great deal of promising material has shown up for practice. The teams this year have worked under one handicap however; and that has been lack of sufficient “scrub” material. There are many fine athletes in school that never go near the football field or the basketball floor and you are the ones we need next year. If you have the time and the ability it is a part of your school duty to come out and help keep New Castle High School in the front rank. 99 CLARENCE EAST, Coach.

FOOTBALL SEASON 1918 Our football season this year was badly broken up by the various influenza bans which were put on about every other week. Yeager, who played right end, was a shining light all season, and made many of our points. “Heavy” Orr the captain, played a good game in the line, while the whole team played well most of the time.

We were defeated only once on our own Moor, and but twice in the Industrial League, in which our team was a member. In the W. P. I. A. League we came out about third place, which is doing good when we consider the teams representing Bellevue, Butler, and Beaver Falls in the league this year. The League games and the scores were as follows: N. G. H. S. Opponents Butler (at Butler) ............ 16 46 Beaver Falls (at Beaver Falls) ... 22 40 Butler (here) ................. 40 38 BelleVue (here) ................... 23 37 BelleVue (at Bellevue) 27 28 Beaver Falls (here) ............... 27 16 Avalon (here) .................... 42 20 New Brighton (at New Brighton)... 26 34 Avalon (at Avalon) ............ 39 30 New Brighton (here) ............. 44 20 Totals ________________________ 306 300 The other games we played outside the League, and not in the Industrial League were as follows: Farrell (at Farrell) ........... 32 28 Alumni ..................... 31 27 Elyria (here) —------------------ 46 15 Ellwood City (here) .......... 42 9 Mercer (here) _________________ 28 16 Niles (at Niles) ............... 36 43 Totals ________________________ 215 138 The last game on the list with Niles, O., the champion of the state of Ohio, was scheduled to test our skill against the best in other leagues, and we showed up pretty well, considering that we were playing on a strange Moor and not an extra good one at that, and against the best team of Ohio in the high school class. In the Industrial League, we were the second of the three real contenders for the cup, and w’ere second only to the best team in New Castle, the Carnegie Steel Mill Team. Shenango Tin Mill was the third contender for the cup, but they never succeeded in beating us, even though they came near it one game when we won 22 to 21. The total scores for the League were as follows: Total for N. C. H. S. 587—Opponents 292. The only defeats we suffered were two by Carnegie, one by the score of 36 to 20, and the second 53 to 23, the last game in the league. The total number of points made by N. C. H. S. and by her opponents during the season was as follows: N. C. H. S. 1108—Opponents 730. 103 THE GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM E. KIRK. Capt.. M. L. ECKLES. O. HODCKINSON. M. NAIL. I. GILLESPIE. J.

NE-Cfl-HI GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL The Kiris’ varsity has been very successful this year in spite of two rather serious obstacles in their way at the begin-ninK of the season. In the first place they had but one player of last year’s team return, and in the second place they had no coach. Yet not daunted by lack of these essentials, they organized a team, arranKed a schedule and played one game at Sharon, which game they lost by a very small marKin. Then fortune favored them and their efforts were rewarded, for the school board appointed a coach. By this time however, they had shown of what kind of stuff they were made and their followinK successes w’ere no more than was to have been expected of them. Of the remaining seven games, they won five. Taking everything into consideration, the record they made this year is much more than good and what they have accomplished this season will give the team a good start for next year. The four Juniors who receive letters will probably return and New Castle High School is assured of a championship girls’ team for nineteen twenty. The girls who received letters are: Elizabeth Kirk ’19, Mary Lou Eckles ’19, Madeleine Nail ’19, Odetta Hodgkinson ’19, Imogene Gillespie ’20, Kathryn Matheny ’20, Jane Smith ’20, Edith Lockhart '20.

The girls have a Varsity basketball team which usually makes as good if not better record than the Boys’ Varsity dot s.

The Seniors finally by defeating first the Juniors, and then the Freshmen in the tie-up elimination series, won the right to play for the cup. Then in a glorious and bloody series of three games, the most exciting ones of the season in the Class league, they won two out of three and thus won the cup, proving they were the champions and best team of the school.

It was in the nature of an experiment as much depended upon the support it received whether it would be carried on next spring or not. The baseball team made a fine showing considering that the fellows were new at the game and had very little chance for practice. The short term necessitated a similar schedule. The following games were played and in each one the team showed itself worthy of support. May 3—Butler at New Castle. May 10—Slippery Rock at Slippery Rock. May 17—Westminster at Westminster. May 24—Butler at Butler. TRACK There were very few out for track and a few of the fellows were taken to Wilkinsburg to participate in the interscholastic meet held at that place. TENNIS Tennis this year is coming into its own as a sport of the school. Under the supervision of Ralph Gardner and Tom Lamoree several matches with other high schools were scheduled. In order to determine the team, tournaments were arranged in which everyone could participate, the winners making up the varsity team. A Tennis Club was formed and its officers are as follows: President ........................Elizabeth Kirk Vice-President_____________________William Cobau Treasurer...........................

(Introduction) The author’s purpose in writing this book is for the mental and physical uplift of the public in general. Chapter I. The old man left home half drunk, on a windy July morning in May. It was a beautiful evening and the birds were twittering in the trees among the worms. The old man was going to see “The Broadway Belles.” As he went into the bar room, he was met by the bar tender who had a very individual air of informality. Chapter II. As he was beginning to swoggle down the living fire, his small daughter, who was a beautiful child, whom he had known for the last fortyfive years, came in. She wound her slim, beautiful, undaunted arms about his neck, which was size 16. She pleaded with him, but in vain. He was hard-hearted and would not yield to her wild demands of patriotism. Chapter III. The dawn was breaking and the sun was just setting in the east. Finally, as he grew heavier by intake, he listened to her pleadings and finally consented to go home with his darling “dater.” Chapter IV. When the old man entered the house, the wife danced with glee and was very joyful. Chapter V. The old man promised to stop drinking. This news made the family very happy. Chapter VI. Ten years later the drunkard father died. He left money in the bank. But it wasn’t his fault that he left it there, because he was shot while trying to get it out. Thus does the life of a poor drunkard ciose and the poor daughter suffers for his fault. —P.

M. ’21 A RECEIPT FOR COURTSHIP Two or three dears and two or three sweets; Two or three balls, and two or three treats; Two or three serenades, given as a line; Two or three oaths how much they endure; Two or three messages sent in one day; Two or three times led out from the play; Two or three soft speeches made by the way; Two or three tickets for two or three times; Two or three love letters writ all in rhymes; Two or three months keeping strict to these rules, Can never fail making a couple of fools. —W. K. M. ’21 A man drove up to a corner drug store in his new Ford a cold day in January. He threw a blanket over the hood to keep it from freezing.

Where can a man find a cap for his knee? Or a key for a lock of his hair? Would you call his eyes an academy Because there are pupils there? What jewel adorns the crown of his head, What crosses the bridge of his nose? Would he use when shingling the roof of his mouth The nails from his fingers and toes? Could the crook of his elbow be sent to jail? If so, what would it do? I wonder who sharpens his shoulder blades? I’ll be darned if I know', do you?

At the thought of all the bullets you may stop; If you can do these things and really like ’em, You’ll be a reg’lar soldier yet, old top. —By D. H.
