In the years to come the people will know, through history, about the World War, the Peace Treaty, the Railroad Strike, the Liberty Loans, and other great events. By just such a medium, will the high school pupils of the years to come know about the life in these fair halls of this illustrious class, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty, which is seated before you. Our life, as the Class of Nineteen Twenty, began in the fall of nineteen sixteen. We were Freshmen then and just as green as any first year class, but we had the material in our ranks which was to come forth in later years and make our class the best that has ever entered this high school. So, while we did not do much during our first year, yet we were growing, developing and preparing—” watchfully waiting,” our chance. In the fall of nineteen seventeen, we came back to school as Sophomores. Our classmates entered into all the activities of the school to which they were eligible. We tried hard to come out on top in most undertakings, but the finer training of our upper classmen held us back. However, we did make a mark for ourselves on the gym floor. The girls’ basketball team won the girls’ championship in the inter-class games. This team was coached by Miss Lotta Nichols, and consisted of such stars as Imogene Gillespie, Jane Smith, Edith Lockhart, Kathryn Matheny, and others. The boys, under Mr. Ralph Gardner, put up a good fight but were defeated. At the end of the school year we held our class picnic at Muddy Creek Falls. Everyone enjoyed a good time and with good feelings toward all we brought our Sophomore year to a close. But how different was our Junior year! We came back to school in the fall of nineteen eighteen, determined to put our class and our school on the map. We elected Paul Wilson, better known as “Doc,” for class president, because he had safely guided us through our Freshman and Sophomore years and we were willing to place our fate in his hands the third year. Realizing that our Junior year was to be a busy one, we soon got down to work. Together with the call to books came the call for recruits for the football team. Many of our boys answered the call and seven won places on the varsity team. 42 Before the football season was over we decided to present “The Chinese Honeymoon” as our class play. Immediately tryouts were held and then later, practice for the play began in earnest. “The Chinese Honeymoon,” a musical comedy, was a different production from any presented by classes of previous years. The members of the cast and chorus, as well as the directors, worked hard to make the play a success. Those of the class who were not in the play worked hard to support it. The efforts ot all concerned were not in vain for the play was a tremendous success. We packed this auditorium for three nights in succession, which is a record. The success of this play is due to the dramatic coach, Miss Hazel E. Williams, the musical coach, Mr. Carroll P. Kearns, the class supervisor, Miss Mary VanDivort, and the wonderful acting done by Gussie Owens, Edith Lockhart, Virginia Mayberry, Margaret Ramsey, Howard Richards, “Doc” Wilson, and the others of the cast and chorus who supported these principals so well. However, we did not stop after earning our name on the stage. Being believers of that old saying, “It is better to give than to receive,” we soon began to make plans for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. So in May, nineteen nineteen, we gave our worthy upper classmates, the class of nineteen nineteen, the treat of their lives. For the first time in quite a few years this event was held in the high school. After the ban-qut and toasts, dancing was the attraction of the evening—or rather, until the wee sma’ hours. Once again, as the year was drawing to a close, it was discovered that our fair maidens had won the championship in the inter-class games for girls, even though many of our former stars had left us for the varsity team. The girls’ team this year was under the direction of Miss Hazel E. Williams. The boys, under Mr. Gardner, were defeated in the final series by the Senior boys. On account of the school term ending sooner than was expected, the Seniors, who had to work on the Ne-Ca-Hi, turned the publication of the last issue of the “Monitor” over to our class. We put forth our best efforts again and, with the guidance of the senior staff, we not only put out a very good number, but also learned some lessons which were to aid us in our task of publishing the “Monitor” the next year. With a class picnic at Neshannock Falls, we completed our Junior year. Having donned the cloak of dignity, cast off by the outgoing Senior class, we returned to school in the fall of nineteen nineteen to impress the under classes with our stateliness and wisdom. Again we elected Paul Wilson as president, no other member of the class being fitted to lead such a gallant band through the perils of a Senior year in high school. With our minds entirely (?) on our lessons, and filled with a desire to be a living model to our under classmen, we began our work as noble Seniors. When the call came for recruits for the football team, our boys answered by a large number of them presenting themselves on the field. Including the manager, thirteen of our men won places on the varsity team. This is by far the largest number of seniors on the varsity at one time. Many of our boys were on the reserve team. For their good work the class presented each varsity man with a gold football at the end of the season. The Senior-Freshman reception was held shortly after school opened. The affair was a success and we became acquainted with many of the new members of our school. This year we held several dances. Most important oi' all was the Leap Year Dance held in the I. O. O. F. hall in February. The usual diversions were engaged in and light refreshments were served by the young men of the class. The class play this year was “The Fortune Hunter ” a modern comedy of four acts. Ouce again, hard work of cast and directors plus the co-operation of the class made the play a success. The play was directed by Miss Bernice V. Frey and Miss Clara M. Hartsuff. As a final event in our social career came the Junior-Senior banquet. We were royally entertained by our nearest under classmates on Friday, May 14. Altho’ the new rule of No Dates for the banquet was put into effect, yet everyone present enjoyed the event. As a return for our good time at the Juniors’ expense, we Seniors held a dance on May 21 at Cascade Park and had the Juniors as our honored guests. On the gym floor the tide was turned this year. The boys, under Mr. Gardner, won the inter-class championship. While successful at home by winning the cup and by defeating an out of town team, yet our boys did not have an opportunity to prove their ability on another floor. This was no fault of theirs. They started for a foreign floor but got no farther than Meadville, Pa. Under the leadership of F. Mary Lamb, Editor-in-chief; Bill Cobau, Business manager; Martin Allen, Advertising manager, and their assistants, together with the co-operation of several members of the faculty, the “Monitor” enjoyed a very successful year. This year, the convention of the North Central Association of High School Journalists was held in this city. As a class, we put forth all our efforts to entertain and take care of our visitors. This is the History of this class, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty. In all our undertakings we have put forth our best efforts to do our best and to live up to the motto of our school, which, is, “Nothing but the Best.” On the gridiron, the-gym floor, the stage and in the class room we have left our record. Those who follow us will find great pleasure in reading of our achievements and much joy in attempting to surpass the heights we have reached. 44 By KATHERINE WILKISON. One night last spring I was sitting alone, thinking of the future of this illustrious class. I was wondering into what various channels and by-ways of life my classmates might be led in the pursuit of their life work. For, in view of the fact that the class was so large, I knew that there would be a remarkable difference in their professions. I was sitting there, in the darkness, thinking, when suddenly I became aware of a flood of bright light that poured in through the windows and filled even the farthest corners of the room. While I was wondering at this strange phenomenon I became aware of a visitor. It was a little old man, not more than four feet in height. His clothes were of a peculiar pattern and a long white beard reached nearly to his waist. We stared at each other for a moment without speaking and then he broke the silence— “Good evening,” he said, “fine weather you’ve been having.” “Yes,” I replied, “but haven’t you?” “Well,” he said, “we have been having some nice weather but not as nice as you folks here on earth.” More mystified than ever I sat there. Who could this be? What insane man was this? Where did he come from? Finally I managed to ask him who he was and after a moment he answered in a low tone—“I’m the man in the moon.” Then I knew I was dreaming, but there he was and so was I; so there must be something to it. Suddenly I had a bright idea. I would ask him if he could tell me anything about the future of the class of 1920. If he were the Man in the Moon he might be able to shed some light on the subject. So I asked him if he had the power to look into the future and he said that he had. Then he wanted to know why I wanted to know. I told him that I had been intrusted with the duty of foretelling on Class Night, the futures of the Seniors. To which he replied: “My girl, you have a big task on your hands and it’s lucky for you that I brought along my glasses. With them you will be able to pierce the veil of obscurity and see everything,” and he took them from his pocket and handed them to me. Instantly upon looking thru the glasses I discovered that it was as he had said—I was able to see into the future. My classmates were widely separated in their lines of work but every one was making a success of what he had chosen. My first glimpse was of Howard Richards, hard at work in a laboratory, manufacturing a kind of gas on which a certain local dentist had a monopoly. A little ways from the laboratory at the intersection of two of the busiest streets in town, capably handling the congested traffic, was a policeman whom I recognized as Oscar Levine. Down in the mill section of the town there was a huge factory with a large electric sign proclaiming it to be the Hromyak Motor Car Co. Then, my gaze travelling out one of the smooth new boulevards, I saw an interesting comedy played before my eyes. Karl Bradley, in the person of a speed cop was arresting Ellis Diefendorfer who was driving a Hromyak Six. From that I knew it was a speedy car. Ellis was haled before the mayor, whom I discovered to be Milton Cook. Milton was a busy man, hearing cases continually and while I watched I recognized some of the culprits as old school mates. The first case was a charge of desertion against Fred Moser. He pled guilty and asked that he might be imprisoned as he was afraid to go home. I wondered what could have been the matter because in high school he and Bertha had always gotten along without quarreling but I supposed that it was another case of the eternal triangle. The next case was one of unbelievable cruelty—Harlowe Clarke and William Cobau, notorious card sharks, were accused of trying to fleece Martin Allen of his money. Right in the center of town was a beautiful building which I learned was the Grace Mitchell Library. It seemed that Grace was a wealthy philanthropist and haa established libraries in all the large cities. On entering the building I found Frances Larson to be head librarian. She told me that one section of the building was devoted entirely to literature written by members of our old Senior class. I expressed a desire to see this literature so she showed it to me. The first I noticd was a “Treatise on the Growth of Cabbgaes and Cauliflowers,” by Sarah Weinschenk. Kathryn Matheny had written a series of articles on “Why City Water is Good for One” and a handsomely bound volume of poems by Hattie Ray also occupied a prominent position. Esther McKibben had written a book on the subject “Laugh and Grow Tall,” and Virginia Mayberry was the author of an elaborate work on “The High Prices of Telephone Calls Between New Castle and Chicago.” Arthur Reese, having gotten in the way of writing histories, had made a permanent record of the Senior boys’ basketball trip to Cochranton. Harry Wachs was a canny financier and Leo Malloy, John Leonard and Ayers Peterson were devoting their lives to the conversion of Bill Eckles to be a farmer. I was greatly surprised to learn that Frances Sampson was teaching Shakespeare to a group of young ladies. This was probably because of the similarity between Shakespeare’s first name and the first name of some one she had known in high school. Howard Wolford was hard at work in an overall factory in Lima, Ohio, and John Barnes was in Detroit where he was offering his expert advice (gained thru administration to Wolford’s car) to the chief engineer of the Maxwell Factory. Eric Laurell was posing for Arrow Collar Advertisements and Charlotte Webb had taken over the management of the Youngs- 46 town Street Car Line. Under her care the cars were run on a twenty minute schedule. Paul Jarvis had at last attained his ambition. He was a millionaire with nothing to do but spend his money on “wine, women and song.” Anna Sturdy was assisting one of the latest aspirants to the heavyweight championship title to train, and Agnes Tolar was compiling a dictionary. Charles Oaks had been given the permanent position of arranging the lighting effects for all high school plays and Doris Morrow was first assistant in the Sankey Undertaking establishment. Nor had the class fallen behind in the many phases of the theatrical. On one of the largest down town theaters, the name of Gussie Owens was emblazoned in electric lights. Gussie was a world famefl tragedy queen. Ruth McCaskey was the heroine of the longest serial ever photographed. Adelaide Rigby, Marjorie Iman, Ethel Leeper, Bernice Yoho and Martha Lavarack were in musical comedy. Johnnie Davis was drawing animated cartoons for a prominent company and Mae Powell and Eulalia Cahill were putting on a vaudeville skit entitled, “The Long and the Short of It.” Kathryn Hunter anrt Elizabeth Fox were starring in a new drama called “The Hunter and the Hunted.” Isabel Hanna, Julia McClure, Ida and Sarah Johnson and Lucile Thomas were enjoying the freedom of circus life, if that may be termed theatrical. Many of the class had gone into the manufacturing business. Herbert Lennox was making soap; Lillian Armstrong was making an interesting kind of heater. Dallas Sloane was manufacturing liniment and Anna Rice was making breakfast food. Phil Fleckenstein was a noted scientist who had invented a marvelous hair dye. This he supplied regularly to Russell Druschel and Stanley Davis. Charles Nesbit otherwise known as “Venus” was employed by a large art gallery to stand around and look beautiful. Charlotte Biondi had written a Spanish Text Book that was expected to be the coming thing. George Alpern and Archie Bernett were chatte?'ing French with the young ladies of Miss Mabel Mart’s Select School for Girls. Ben Moresky taught Spanish in the same institution. MadoLn Craig, Mary Wilson and Peg Ramsey were back in New Castle High School teaching the young idea how to shoot. Fenton Ingham had established himself on East Street where he manufactured excuses for tardiness. Frazier Lamb, Herbert Hoffleit and Edna Neff had become great lecturers. Their lectures were generally conceded to be the least understandable of any ever written. Emidio Gaspari was a world famous lawyer and Mary Frances Ray had been a charming trained nurse but she had married one of her good looking and wealthiest patients. Helena Burkhart had gone as a missionary to the Fiji Islands and Elizabeth Parker, Marion Haydn and Adalyn Hamilton were valuable members of the Whan Pool Detective Agency, they having helped to find many desperate criminals. Leila Wilson had started a bus line to New Wilmington, she having decided that it was cheaper to go into business herself than to patronize the other fellow. Helen Thompson and Pauline Schultz were 47 making speeches advocating women’s suffrage. Martha Weingartner had become an enterprising young real estate dealer with a business so large that she needed some assistants. Pearl Young and Esther McClin-tock fulfilled these offices. Kathryn Stewart and Margaret Hice were writing a book, using as a plot the experiences of Hattie Querry, who was a newspaper correspondent to the Congo district. Earl McCormick was the manager of a restaurant with Matilda Schmidt as the cashier. Geneva Flemming, Floy Owens and Ella Reynolds, black eyed young ladies, were giving lessons in the art of using one’s eyes. Elizabeth Hill, Mildred Jacobs, Anna Shifman, Esther Shannon and Mary Blackford had become astronomers and gave lessons every week night. Opal Clarke, Rebecca Garvin and Nana Genkins were singing in Grand Opera and Annie Thomas was the pianist in tfie New Castle Symphony Orchestra. Albert Chapin was a book agent, taking orders for “Peck’s Bad Boy.” Wilhelmina Nothdurft and Naomi Leslie were making bolshevistic speeches and Robert Whaley was a bolshevistic poet wearing long flowing hair and ties and a soulful expression. Angelo Cassachia was running for governor on the Prohibition ticket. Claire Callahan and Keith Van Fossan had opened a store where eukuleles were sold. Edna Lowers, Elsie Mirick and Harriet Hossler lent local color by standing around in native Hawaiian costume. Ted McCreary was running for president in Mexico. Our two inseparable Bettie’s had been separated. Betty Courtney had married an explorer and had gone with him to New Zealand and Betty Zahniser was practicing medicine in New Castle. Jim Barrett was leading the political gang around town, very materially assisting, it was said, by Claire Kocher, Abraham Cohen, John Frazier and Lee Smith. It was also whispered that Emma Haltnorth, Elizabeth Hoover, Martha Withers and Myma Stitzinger had done some wire pulling in putting through some candidate that Jim was supporting. Several members of the class had taken up a new and strange line of work. Madeline McGurk, Edice McCullough and Cornelia Gilkey had formed a partnership with Kenneth Vorhees as business manager. Edice and Cornelia were ouija board pushers and Madeline was a crystal gazer. Kate Brothers was one of their most frequent clients as she was still undecided as to her freshmen. Sophia Dobelik was an inter-pretess in court, she being able to speak seven languages at once. Imo-gene Gillespie was living in the far west as right hand assistant to a mining engineer. Charles McCullough was a member of one of the major league base ball teams and Maurice and Meyer Bloom and Ida Plant had gone into the florist business. Gilbert Long had become demented, grieving over the fact that there was no fifth act to the “Fortune Hunter” in which to be married while Bill Machin, Bill Hilbom and Joe Graham had married suffragettes and had become skilled in the art of housekeeping. I saw great numbers of people flocking to a large house in the outlying district of the city. I found it to be a party and the hostess to be a lady whom I recognized as Jane Smith. She no longer signed Miss 48 before her name altho the initials of her married name were the same as her maiden name. Harold Gilbert was the butler and among the guests I recognized many of my old class mates. There was the portly, bald-headed gentleman with the tall silk hat whom I knew to be our ex-president. From his card I learned that it w'as now U. S. Senator P. Hays Wilson and that at present he was engaged in ine overthrow of graft in our national government. I learned that Edith Lockhart was soon to give an interpretive dance so I took it that Edith had followed up her old idea of taking up “asthmatic” dancing. It seemed that Jane was a sort of lion catcher for she also had as her guests Mary Martin and Sarah Sayres who were prominent leaders in the women’s division of the Republican Party. The� e was some fear among the guests that there would be an argument between Mary and Sarah and Lenore Chapin, Kathryn Hite and Amelia Knina, who fulfilled the same offices in the Democrat party and who were also present. Leaving the party I saw a little farther down the street the shingle of Davis and Watkins, Paper Hangers. I felt like complimenting George and Arthur on their ingenuity in selecting a profession for I knew they could make a success of it without the use of ladders. I was just going to look up my own future when the little old man touched me and said it was time to go as the moon was getting full. So I concluded that it might be best to allow- Time to reveal my fate, page by page, and I gave the glasses to the Man in the Moon, who immediately faded into space. 49 IDEALS By HATTIE RAY. Wonderful past with its men of achievement, Men who in battles have conquered the foe, Crushed many wrongs that the banner of right May float on above w’hile injustice lies low. Truly they live in the hearts of the people, Always as brave, noble soldiers of will, Bringing men nearer to honor and morals, Inspiring them ever to go forward still. These may be taken as ideals of others, Others may walk in the rugged pathways These heroes paved as they traveled to fame. Making their time an epoch of praise. The future, irresolute, now is before us, Ready and waiting to enter the mould, What today’s workers design is accepted; Then let us make it of beauty untold. Each day, yea each act should add to its structure, A new mark of beauty, a more potent grace; Complete and sublime in each single feature, Insuring for it an immortal place. For the work soon is finished; the builders retire; And a past now is seen in the once future’s place. That past may shine brightly through ages to come, Or sink in oblivion; leave on memory no trace. Then shape lives of beauty, full of works that shall live, With power to inspire, to arouse, and to fill; All who may look upon them in some future time, With the same strong desire; to go forward still. 60 Class Will By WILLIAM COBAU.

F. L. ORTH. WILLIAM LEMMON. O. J. SHAEFFER. THE SENIORS AS THEY CAME IN « •« � � « FOOTBALL The 1919 football team was one of the beat in the history of the school. This was due to the team work and the fighting spirit of the team. It was to the line that Ne-Ca-Hi owed most of her victories. The line held like a stone-wall defense and on offense opened up holes for the backs. This year we did not have a heavy team. Most of the teams we played outweighed us from five to twenty pounds to the man, and a great deal of this weight was in the line. When we did get a team our own size or under, we ran up a large score on them. The reason New Castle did not have a heavy team was because the big fellows got scared out. At the beginning of every season a lot of “giants” try out for the team. The ground fairly shakes with the tread of their feet. In a few days they have a scrimmage. The varsity linemen shove the big boys’ faces in the ground, kick them in the shins, ham string them, etc. After a week of this handling, the number of candidates is usually cut in two because most of them begin to think that football is too rough and quit. Those that remain are usually “nervy” fellows weighing anywhere from one hundred to one hundred and thirty pounds. They stick the whole season out as scrubs and the next year usually get on the varsity. If you try out for the football team next year do not think that you are going to have a lot of fun. The greater part of football is not fun. It is hard work. You tackle the dummy, fall on the ball, and chase passes until you are tired. Then you have signal practice until you can hardly stand up. Football is a rough game and nobody can expect to play football, least of all, good football, unless he expects to get hurt. In every play you get bumped and jarred. If you are a backfield man you very often get a bum leg or shoulder. If you play at tackle, guard, or center you get kicked in the face or in the shins about every game. If you get through a season without any lasting injuries you are exceedingly lucky. There are many benefits to be derived from playing football that makes the time spent and the bumps acquired worth while. Football, in an indirect way, helps a student in his studies. During the football season the players have to keep up in their studies in order to stay on the team. After the season is over as they have formed the habit of studying, they become better scholars than they ordinarily would have been. Besides, after the season, time begins to hang heavy on their hands and they take up some other school activity, thus bettering themselves and the school as a whole. so Football is also a good “nerve” developer. If there is any boy who lacks physical courage let him go out for football and stick it out. All he needs to do is stick, but stick he must. Then he will have some “nerve” literally pounded into him. Perhaps in the first scrimmage he will step out of the road of the varsity fullback who is carrying the ball. The coach will see that this docs not happen again. Finally if he sticks long enough, his greatest joy will be to tackle a two hundred pound backfield man. The next football season should see a lot of heavyweight candidates out for the team who will stick the entire season through. Don’t get discouraged with the work or bumps nor because you are only a scrub but stick it out. Before the season is two or three weeks old you will perhaps wish that it was over. But if you hold out to the end of the season and work hard you will never regret it, and you will pity the fellow who came out for only a week and then quit. THE END OF THE YEAR It is with mixed emotions that we of the Class of 1920 leave our High School, some to go to college, others to take up some business pursuit. Some feel that they are fortunate to graduate. All of us feel the call of youth to new fields of activity. Whatever we may see ahead, wc shall always carry with us memories of “life in these fair halls.” The senior class, by virtue of its position and its greater experience, is always the leader in school affairs. In addition to their being the leaders in school affairs, the Seniors have to get ready to graduate. Members of the Senior class are managers of the varsity athletic teams. The majority of those on the Monitor Staff are always Seniors. The Seniors also have to put on a class play. These are only a few of the responsibilities that the Senior class has to assume. A large part of the under classmen take no active part in school affairs and have no idea what they are like. This chiefly applies to Freshmen and Sophomores. It is not until the Junior year that one becomes well acquainted with school life aside from studying lessons. There the average student gets a taste of what awaits him in his Senior year. Some get a large bite. We of the Class of 1920 have done our best with the responsibilities that were thrust upon us. We have made many mistakes because w'e were in a position to make them, just as every other Senior class has made mistakes. We have been criticized just as every other class has been criticized. Now, at the end of the year, we leave our responsibilities to the Class of 1921. You will make mistakes. You will also be criticized. You will be the leaders of the school, and leaders always make mistakes and get criticized. We, of the Class of ’20, wish you the support of the school. May you be successful in maintaining a high standard for Ne-Ca-Hi. 61 WHO’S WHO IN NEW CASTLE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS President Paul Wilson Treasurer William Hilborn Vice-President Howard Richards Cheer Leader Martin Allen Secretary Opal Clarke Color Bearer James McCleary JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS President Thornton Allen Vice-President Dorothea Flemming Secretary Marjorie Byers Treasurer Millard Greer President ....

The sights of yesterday have vanished, the scenes of today are passing, and the pictures of tomorrow will be new. This is true of our high school life. Yesterday we came and tomorrow we say farewell. The thought of each victory fills us with pride while the memory of defeat spurs us on to greater effort. Our experiences this short year have been varied. Our joys and sorrows intermingled. We were jubilant over the successful career of our Girls’ Basketball team. They won the championship. While our boys’ team played nobly and well, they lost the final game to the Seniors and so relinquished their hold on the cup. Our greatest success of the year was the production of a musical comedy, “The Fire Prince.” Two other notable events were the Junior Party and the Junior-Senior banquet at which good times were enjoyed by all. We may well be proud of our class. No one of us would voluntarily belong to any other. Jea! Juniors! Our class officers are: President.................. Thornton Allen Vice-President .........

Despite our many hindrances, with spring came the successful completion of one fourth of our high school career. Now this same class of 22 has satisfactorily completed a second year in the realms of Ne-Ca-Hi and is eagerly looking forward to the d wn of a brighter and happier day commonly known as vacation. On February 27, 1919 A. I), the sophomore class held a dance in the I. O. O. F. hall to w hich the members of all the classes were invited. Everybody reported a good time. As the members of our class enjoy social times as well as study, a picnic was held in May for the purpose of suitably ending the year. Some people play when they play and play when they work. Not so the class of ’22. Although wre enjoy a good time we are not ignorant of the value of an education. The sophomore class has the best record in the school wrhen it comes to the honor roll and honor students. The first month there were 5 sophomores on the honor roll and by the fifth month 35 had succeeded in getting their names on it. Our athletic record this year is one of which wre may well be proud. The girls especially had an excellent team in spite of the fact that three of our best players “subbed” on varsity. The boys wrere not quite so successful. There is but one event which has marred the happiness of the year. That w'as the death of Mable Heck, a classmate. We feel that part of our success w as due to the ability of our officers. They were: President ...........................John Ray Vice-President ................. Marion Swisher Secretary ________________________ George Hice Treasurer ___________________ Wilbur Johnson CLASS OF NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE We, the Class of Twenty-three, entered this institution last fall. We didn’t know much about your ways, but you must admit that it did not take us long to fit in with the rest of you. During this year we haven’t done much along the social line, but next year we expect to show what we can do. We appreciated greatly the reception given by the Seniors in our honor at the beginning of the term. We have done well in supporting the school. Our class teams have a fine record of which we are proud. If you have noticed the Honor Roll, you must have seen that we have a good record there. We feel that altogether our first year has been a successful one. And as time rolls by, we hope to make the school proud of us. We expect to end our first year here by a picnic.

Even the tremendous success of the previous year was surpassed in all results. Comments indicated that “professional” talent was shown. The work done by the directors, Miss Hartsuff and Miss Frey, was of the highest importance, not only in the management of rehearsals and in conducting the “show” itself, but in the selection of the cast. The success of the production proved their good judgment. Poverty forces Nat Duncan to seek his fortune in a small town in Pennsylvania upon the advice of his successful friend, Henry Kellogg. In following the latter’s “rules” he succeeds in gaining the favor of a rich heiress but finds himself in love with the daughter of the druggist in whose store he holds a position. He has trouble in releasing himself from the engagement but finally does so and marries Betty Graham. In the course of the play Tracy Tanner furnishes much of the humour.

Much of the success was due to Carroll P. Kearns, the musical director, and Miss Hazel Williams, the dramatic coach. The plot was laid in China where Mr. and Mrs. Pineapple, from England, were travelling on their honeymoon. Tom Hatherton, nephew of Mr. Pineapple, was also in China and had fallen in love with Soo Soo, niece of the Emperor, Hang Chow. The travellers’ ignorance of the complicated and ridiculous laws of China brought about many complications and misunderstandings. These were cleared up in the last act and the Chinese honeymoon ended happily for all. CAST OF CHARACTERS Mr. Samuel Pineapple Marie (Mrs. Pineapple) Fi Fi, the maid..........

This play, “The Fire Prince,” was presented the twenty-second and twenty-third of December, 1919, under the able direction of Miss Hazel Williams, dramatic coach, and of Miss Margaret Sankey, conductor of the orchestra. “The Fire Prince” was a difficult play to produce, but the effort was well repaid in its tremendous success. The plot of the play is laid in Pantouflia, where Prigio, the eldest son of the king, proves to be the most intelligent person for many leagues around. Because of his cleverness he became very unpopular and was disinherited by the king. His two brothers, Alphonso and Enrico, had attempted to kill the Fire Drake, a ferocious animal in the land, but met death instead. Prigio, to win the hand of Rosa, the ambassador’s daughter, promised to kill the Fire Drake and restore his brothers to life. With the aid of the fairies and the “Water of Life” he did so— and the tale is ended. CAST OF CHARACTERS King Grognio ..................................

The high standard set in previous years has been faithfully upheld by the members. The club this year has enjoyed a greater membership than ever before in its history. It is composed of Juniors, Seniors and Sophomores, the latter being admitted the second semester.. The purpose of the society has been to promote the practice of parliamntary law and public speaking. The organization owes a great deal to the untiring efforts of Mr. Herbst, who acted as faculty advisor. The officers of the organization are as follow's: First Semester Second Semester. President—Robert Whaley Vice-Pres.—Marshall Matheny Secretary—Keith Van Fossan Treasurer—William Machin Joe Graham Marshall Matheny Johnnie Davis George Davis H I - Y CLUB HI-Y The past season has been a great success for Hi-Y in comparison with the preceding years. The reason for this success is the fact that the leadership of the club was taken up by the boys’ secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Victor Patterson. He introduced the grouping of the members according to their year at high school. He also had good speakers every meeting for ech group. Much benefit ws derived from the group studies. The officers for the past season have been: President....................... Robert Whaley Vice-President ------------------ Joe Hartman Secretary..................... Mike Matheny Treasurer.......................... Joe Stritmater 88 THE JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY A new organization, the Junior Literary Society, was formed this year by Room 309, under the supervision of Mr. James Sharp. It was soon open to all Freshmen, and has grown wonderfully since then. Owing to the fact that Mr. Sharp had other duties, Miss Eleanor Smeltzy took up the supervision. The purpose for organizing the society was to teach and practice parliamentary law and to develop public speaking. Its weekly meetings include a business session followed by a program. The membership includes only Freshmen and they are proud of their society. Whether it will remain a purely Freshman organization is yet undecided. The officers of the Junior Literary Society, are as follows: President....................... Georgiana McNees Vice-President ................. . Anna Patterson Secretary ..................... ,.... Viola Davis THE GIRLS’ CLUB GIRLS’ CLUB The High School Girls’ Club has spent another very profitable and enjoyable year. We have had discussions on “Being Friends With One’s Family,” “Clothes,” “The Dancing of 1850 Compared with the Dancing of Today,” and other subjects, all of which were very profitable. We also had social functions such as a “Faculty Tea,” “Mothers and Daughters Night,” and others which were enjoyed both by the guests and girls. We have also had candy sales, bake sales and an Indoor Circus to raise money to send girls to the summer conference at Camp Nea-pawin. The officers of the year were: President..............

This interest is due mainly to the efforts of Miss Franz, the head of the French Department. Several business meetings were held at the first of the term for the purpose of taking in new members. It was decided that all French III students should be made members of the club, while those in French I and French II holding a certain average should be admitted. The club endeavored to have an interesting as well as instructive program at each meeting. It is hoped that this good work will be continued during the coming years.

On Armistice Day a number of students, in order to get their desired vacation, walked out. The representatives met and settled the strikers’ case, giving satisfaction to all. This government is really needed because the students feel that thru their representatives, they have a share in the affairs of the school.

MACHIN The football season of 1919 was the most successful ever enjoyed by the local institution. In all, ten games were played, only one of which was lost. At no time during the season was a team able to cross New Castle’s goal line more than once; and in the last four games played, our goal was never in danger. During the season, the team scored 183 points while their opponents secured 32. At the close of the season, when the team had reached its highest state of development, it is doubtful if there was a high school team in the state which could have defeated “Ne-Ca-Hi.” While there w'as no one man that stood out above the rest, there were a number of first class players on the team. Klee, the captain, was an excellent player and was the key around which New’ Castle built her defense. He w’as also good at advancing the ball. Forney, the other half, w'as without doubt the best line plunger in this section. His work was one of the features of the season. Hartman’s passing and punting was first class and he also made several goals from placement. Machin, the other back, called the signals and at all times showed excellent judgment in handling the team. In the line, Cobau’s work at tackle was especially good. He w'as the hardest tackier on the team and was instrumental in breaking up many of the opponents’ plays. R. Kocher at center and Graham at tackle were also strong defensive players. Hilborn at end put up a good game at all times, and w'as the best man on the team at catching passes. Kocher at the other end was one of the fastest men on the team, while Laurel and Van Fossen also put up creditable games at end. The guards were Lamb, Thompson, Maguire and Machlin, and they completely outclassed their opponents throughout the season. However, no team is ever successful, no matter how many strong players they may have, unless the players work together. Thus we find that a great deal of New' Castle’s success was due to their splendid team work. This, their fighting spirit, and their ability to obey instructions, were the factors that went to make the season a success. I wish to express my appreciation of their efforts as it has never been my privilege to work w’ith a better lot of boys, than the members of the 1919 squad.

Only two games resulted in wins. In December when the first practise was called, it was found that four letter men were back, all of whom had had a couple of seasons on the squad. Then several promising players were dug out of class basketball. Interest and enthusiasm ran high. Everyone expected a strong combination that would make rival lads step up and take notice. Joe Hartman, the star player, was elected to captain. He showed good generalship, often leading his team out of serious trouble by his brilliant playing. After practicing several weeks the team tackled Farrell. Bang! Right off the bat we were forced to taste defeat. Then on New Years’ day Farrll appeared on our floor. Our fellows were fairly tearing up the dressing room with the desire to get revenge. We came out of this battle, however, on the short end of the score. Yet our boys played good, consistent basketball. On the day following the Farrell game the famous Fifth Avenue quintet appeared at Ne-Ca-Hi and administered another pill labeled defeat. After this game came the first W. P. I. A. L. contest with last year’s champions, the Bellevue squad, on the Suburb floor. At the start of the game it was clear that Bellevue still had their winning combination. On the following Friday night came the Beaver Falls lads and after a hard fight, in which Ne-Ca-Hi lead part of the way, Beaver Falls romped home. After a short recess came the defeat by the New Brighton lads at New Brighton. This was the first floor game our fellow’s had played in five previous defeats. Avalon, another suburban city, was next on the list. We almost managed to win, losdig out by only six points. Then the unexpected happened. Hi was on the long end of the score when Sewickley was met on our home floor. In this game Hi for once outclassed their opponents by 29-18. Before our next victory Coraopolis, Bellevue, Beaver Falls, New Brighton and Avalon repeated their former defeats. Our second victory w’as registered against the fast Coraopolis lads after a gallant struggle by the score of 37-25. When it came time to drop the curtain, Sewickley took Hi into camp for a final beating. It was voted the team then adjourn till curtain raising time in 1921.

GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL New Castle High School was well represented by the Girls’ Basketball Team this year. Practice was started early in the year with Miss Franz as coach. In fact, the four girls of last year’s team began practicing a few days after the close of the football season. Each one was anxious to do her best and as a result, the school was in possession of a very swift team. Although success is hard to attain it is easily lost. While in the height of their glory the team was crippled by the absence of two of its “old” players. Even then the team went down to defeat only after a hard fight had been put up by each member. The last game of the season was played at Wilkinsburg. Every member of the team being in condition to play, the old spirit came back to the players. The team met defeat as the opponents were the larger and stronger of the two teams. In spite of this the girls enjoyed a dance given by the opponents. In every way the season may be called successful. Four of the first team are Seniors. They have played for two years on the Varsity. When Sophomores, these girls practically made up the team which won the class championship for the “class of twenty.” As a token of thanks for their loyal support both to the class and to the school, the Senior class presented gold basketballs to them. The remaining team who receive letters will probably return and New Castle high school is assured of a good team for nineteen twenty-one. The girls who receive letters are: Imogene Gillespie, (’20 Capt.), Jane Smith, ’20, Edith Lockhart, ’20, Kathryn Matheny ’20, Katharyn Brothers ’20, (Manager), Martha Smith ’21, Estella Rowland ’21, Florence Davis ’22, Frieda Haltnorth ’22, Phyllis Beal ’22.

The Senior Quintet, champions of the Class Basketball League for 1920 is composed of Whaley, Capt., and Allen, forwards; Cobau, center, Barrett and McCreary guards, and Jarvis and Davis reserves. In winning the cup the Seniors in the title series were compelled to defeat probably the best coached and gamest team that ever failed to land the coveted trophy. “Team work” was the largest factor in the team’s success and the two remarkable spurts which the boys “staged” in the last two games of the title series, each of which was the turning point in its respective game, were due to the team’s “team work” and will be long remembered by those who witnessed the contests. It is probbaly not gnerally known (hat not one of the first six boys was compelled to “swear off” smoking cigarettes at the beginning of the basketball season. Likewise in scholarship and in putting the success of the varsity ahead of their class team the boys were a credit to their class and school. Capt. Whaley as forward and foul shooter, was the team’s most consistent point getter. He was equally good in offense, defense, and in team work. “Irish” Barrett, “roving guard,” was almost as valuable on the offense and in the team play, while on the defense, as a rule, his forward never got a shot. Bill Cobau, at center, was seemingly the exact factor to weld together the team. He was always in the very midst of the team work and was becoming one of the team’s best shots. “Marty” Allen, particularly in the title series, not only took care of Andrews, varsity forward and Junior star on the defense, but scored consistently against the Juniors stationary guard. He deserves great credit. “Ted” McCready looked after the defense in fine style and was invaluable to the team. “Jarvey”, as first reserve, was of great comfort to the team, and illness probably kept him out of the regular lineup. Three times the fighting Juniors had the team with their backs to the wall and each time they had to come through with a victory to win the title. Surely that is sufficient to prove them a champion team, worthy of the laurels they have won. THE JUNIOR GIRL S’ BASKETBALL TEAM Standing B. BROTHERS. F. WADDINCTON. MISS WALLACE. Coach. M. SMITH. C.

Do you know that when we came in as Freshmen we didn’t win one game and the score was always one-sided? Well, it is true. When we were Sophomores we came very near the top. This year, due to the good coaching on Miss Wallace’s part, we have succeeded in getting to the top and intend to stay there for another year. Furthermore, we are the only team that has ever won the championship without losing a game. 109 110 THE SENIOR GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Standing A. STURDY. MISS KEAST. Coach. E. McCLINTOCK. E.

At the opening of the season each class produced a good team. But this was not to last. As a result of the varsity coach’s observations the Junior team lost two of its players, while the Sophomore team, whicti made the best showing of any, lost three of its regular players. Even with this difficulties to overcome, each team took an active interest in the games. The Freshmen had the best team this year, that class has ever had in the history of the school. There were no individual stars but the team was made up of six good all around players. It is expected that next year they will show the school what “real” basketball is. The Junoir class girls’ team which came out ahead at the finish of the season probably will be broken up next year to fill vacancies on the varsity. The Sophomore class also will give up some of its players. On the whole, the inter-class league proved very interesting, and created a friendly rivalry between the four classes. BOYS’ CLASS BASKETBALL Class basketball has always been the source of material for the varsity five. The youngsters gain experience in this league, gradually develop into players of note, and are then gobbled up and placed under Coach East and his varsity quintet for further instruction. It has happened for the last four years that the graduating class wins the championship before being asked to pass in their locker keys for the last time. This year was no exception to this rule. “Hump” Gardner and his bunch of hard working Seniors ran rough shod over their opponents; and then they gave the Junior boys a neat little training in the final for the championship, the goal that four years before, a petit, scraggling quintet of players had feasted their eyes on. Here that old adage that “things worth while waiting for, are worth having” comes into mind. They played good, consistent basketball and deserved to win. The Junior boys after bearing up the league the first half “broke a hubble” as one would say at a horse race, and failed to come in under the the wire. They too played good strong basketball and should win next season. Next in line the Sophs who, although they were not leaders, were dangerous at times. Only the fact that they met teams of more experience prevented them from making a more creditable showing. Last, but not least, come the Freshmen, who had one of the best Freshmen aggregations that has ever graced a class league standing for several years. Look out for this tribe next year. ns BASEBALL The grand old national pastime has come to the front again in Ne-Ca-Hi and from present indications, it looks as if the season will be very successful. This is the first year since 1915 that baseball has been tried on a very large scale. Last season a team was put in the field; it played three games, winning two and losing one. The two victories were over Westminster Reserves and Slippery Rock Normal, while the last game went to Butler at Cascade Park by a low score. Lack of material will be no drawback to this sport as upwards of forty fellows have answered Coach East’s call to the diamond. Hi has good players in Captain Hilborn, Hartman, McCullough, Barrett, Andrews, James, Kocher, Campbell. Gordon, Peterson, McCormick, Flaherty and possibly several other promising youngsters. Coach East is an old hand at the game, having played on several teams himself. The fellows have much confidence in their coach and will work their heads off to win for him. John Barnes has been elected manager and he has arranged an attractive schedule. TRACK Track under Mr. Herbst should be a winning sport for Ne-Ca-Hi. As in baseball, track has not had a regular varsity team for several years. However, this season a wealth of material nswered Herbst’s call for candidates, and with the following array of cinder travellers, Klee, Allen, Kocher, Martin, Rigby, Morgan, Nolte, Rocks, Miller, Watkins, Ray, Cypher, Perry, and Walters, Mr. Herbst should not have a very hard time to pick a winning team to represent High at Wilkins-burg. and in several other meets that are being arranged. Hi is mighty fortunate in having Billy Herbst for a coach as he himself has been on several college track squads, and has hung up several school records. TENNIS In this popular summer sport, weight is not needed to make the team as in football, basketball and track. This was shown last season when Jack Gordon, the diminutive Junior, cleaned up all corners, taking the championship of the class league in easy fashion. A varsity team was not made up on account of a short school term, and lack of material. However, after two successful class seasons, Hi is ready with an array of acquisitions that will mop up all opposition. Mr. Ralph H. Gardner is coach of this sport. Gardner has been one of New Castle’s best players for a number of years. The probable lineup will be Phil Johnson, Jack Gordon, Charles Johnson, Leo Malloy and Joe McFate. m THE ATHLETIC BOARD Upper row MR. ORTH. MR. EAST. MR. HERBST. W. KLEE. Lower row MR. SHAEFFER. MR.
