In 1922, she decided to have a winning football team, and scored her first point when she revised her athletic tactics. That season, with the school firmly behind the boys, the team did not lose a game,but unfortunately, tied one. The next season passed without a loss, but the team was doomed to disappointment, when in the elimination game with Turtle Creek, the result proved to be a tie. Nothing daunted, the knights of the gridiron ventured forth on their 1924 schedule, determined to win the championship. The confidence of their supporters aroused a fierce resistance that spelled Victory! The coveted prize, the Syracuse Trophy, was presented to the New Castle football team at the close of its long and victorious campaign. A winning team always excites and invites crowds. Hundreds of fans journeyed from distant fields to watch their own team in conflict with Ne-Ca-Hi. New Castle in a body backed her boys with everything she had—crowds, cheers, and advertising. The bleachers were filled to capacity, rows of benches were placed along either end of the field ; nearby trees, roofs, and front porches were utilized—and even then came a demand for more seats. The bleachers although they seated three thousand people, were still inadequate to accomodate the crowds, and hundreds were forced tu witness the game while standing. This offered the little god of winter a glorious opportunity to perform his frosty work and the chill winds and biting blasts detracted much from the interest of the game. And so, the insistent cry for more and better bleaches arose—a cry that echoed throughout the city! But it took the student body of Ne-Ca-Hi to make this hope a realization. Ever onward, with the glory of Ne-Ca-Hi as their Eldorado, the students undertook the complete management of this immense under- taking. They first secured the consent of Mr. Graham and the School Board—and then set out to gain the support of New Castle’s loyal citizens. In order to insure the building of the stadium, ten thousand dollars had to be raised by the students. Each person who donated ten dollars to this project, was given a season ticket which insured him a reserved seat for the next football season. Under the supervision of the Student Council, competent captains were chosen, who in turn selected from eight to ten student friends, each group forming a team. Each captain was given a certain district and he, with his chosen mates, canvassed this section of the city. All New Castle was given an opportunity to show its loyalty to its future citizens in this way. The names of the captains of the canvassing teams were: Francis Sowersby, Margaret Womer, William Kirk, Brendan Hanlon, Edwin Kerr. David Young, Sherman Levine, John Davis, Robert Lamoree. James Chambers, Theodore Costele, Edward Ward, Sarah McGoun, and Wilbur Johnston. The work was carried on with the usual pep and vigor of Ne-Ca-Hi and the work was kindly and patriotically backed by the men and women of New Castle. The team under the management of Francis Sowersby led the sale of tickets with sixty eight sales to their credit. The winning team was banqueted by Mr. Graham at the High Noon Club as a reward for their loyal and enthusiastic labors. The new stadium will cost forty thousand five hundred dollars and has a seating capacity of five thousand. It will be built entirely of cement, with marked and numbered seats. It is being erected on the Cunningham Avenue side of the Junior High Athletic field on the natural slope which provides an ideal site for a project of this kind. Ground was broken April seventh, and the stadium will be completed by the 1925 football season. The stadium is merely an expression of the public’s regard for Ne-Ca-Hi, while the enthusiastic manner in which the sale of tickets was undertaken and the ready response which the students received from the citizens and especially from the Alumni of N. C. H. S., illustrates perfectly the cooperation and spirit of advancement that exists between the High School, and the men and women of New Castle. May our Ne-Ca-Hi ever have students so loyal and true; may she always have that bond of friendship that exists today in the hearts of her students! The Class of 1925 has earnestly tried to instill these thoughts in the hearts and minds of the underclassmen. May they continue to follow her lead as ’25 has followed that of her predecessors! Shank Qmi! We, the class of 1925, have at last come to the close of our high school career. Our voyage, though hard at times with the stormy trials of youth, has overflown with happiness gained through mutual 70 intercourse between the students and advisors. The debt of gratitude we feel that we owe to our many helpers and advisors can never be fully recompensed, and our thorough appreciation can be shown best by a word of thanks. Interest is an essential element in the makings of a class. The dutiful attention and sincere interest shown by the school board toward our class is most highly appreciated. The wisdom and discernment of our superintendent, Ben G. Graham, has been an eminent factor in any success we have had. He has always been willing to expend time and effort for any worth-while undertaking, and for this we wish to express our gratitude. “The body cannot exist without the head”, and so it is with any high school. Without the firm guidance of a competent principal no school can attain a high standard of efficiency in every branch. We are fortunate in having such a principal. F. L. Orth, and together with his assistant, P. M. Jordan, we are advancing toward our goal. Miss Taylor and Miss Scott have also helped by their co-operation and good-will. Our greatest help and inspiration throughout our entire course has been our supervisor, Sarah M. Dinsmore. In every enterprise attempted, she worked untiringly to make it a success. Enthusiasm and pep were always with her. She encouraged us in our dark moments and gave us light with which we might continue our project. Never once did sound advice fail us at a critical period, and it was given cheerfully and willingly. All we can say is “Thank you”, and that from the depths of our hearts. It is a difficult task to sufficiently thank Miss McClaren. She has helped us in many ways, too numerous to enumerate. With infinite patience she has toiled to make our publication of the “Monitor” successful. She has always been willing to “give the best” of herself in wholesome advice, in interest in every individual, and in kindly acts. Adding to these attributed her broad sympathy, it can easily be seen that the Class of 1925 owes her unbounded thanks, and there shall always be a warm remembrance of her in our hearts. We cannot think of Miss McClaren without her right-hand helper, Miss Marjorie Rhodes. She has been an efficient advisor to the literary staff of the Monitor and we give her our whole-hearted thanks. Likewise, we wish to extend our deep appreciation to Mr. Joseph B. Hoon for his faithful and energetic management of the business staff of the Monitor; to Mr. Fawcett, for his time and effort expended in our behalf; and to Miss Schweider for her skillful supervision of the art department of the Monitor. “Teaching is causing another to know and feel the right in order to do it.” Our teachers have given to us not only intellectual knowledge. but also a sense of right living and high thinking to carry with us 71 in our future life. Our class wishes to thank the instructors of Ne-Ca-Hi for their painstaking effort to give us the foundation of a worthwhile and serviceable life. Every cog is needed to make a machine run smoothly. We wish to thank Mr. Geo. Smith, Mr. Andrew McBride, Mr. Wm. Mitchell, Mr. Rodgers, Mr. Jones, and Mrs. Elizabeth Carlon, for their care of our school; also, Mrs. Alford, and Mrs. Sarah Stimple for their efforts in dispensing our daily food. What we are today and whaat we will amount to is the sum of what we have wrought in ourselves, what others have wrought in us, and what we have wrought in others. To all who have any way contributed to the honor and success of the class of 1925, again we feel that the best we can say is—“Thank you.” rc SENIORS AS THEY ENTERED I. 1 ENTERED II. 20 SENIORS AS THEY LEAVE 75 RUTH DONALDSON My friends and class mates, we, who are before you,, have just reached the terminus of our High School careers, and we who have been so closely united for the past four years of happy school days are about to part at our first cross-roads in life, some to continue their work in higher institutions of learning, and others to enter the business world. Our future is hidden to all human eyes, but our past four years will always bring back fond memories and pleasant recollections. On September sixth, nineteen hundred twenty-one, our class entered the portals of this institution, six hundred and seventy strong, and began our life as the class of ’25. We entered into our new world and found our surroundings most novel and interesting. Our introduction to the teachers was tame when compared to our experiences with the upper classmen. They seemed to try to see how unbearable they could make life for the unsophisticated freshmen. According to the proverbial custom we were so green, so very verdant that in our childish trustfulness we were easily made the victim of our upperclassmen’s hokum. And several of us spent weary hours seeking here and there for the student entrance to that famed third floor elevator. Ours was the last and largest Freshman class to enter the Senior High School. When we first entered this institution of learning we were indeed tight-closed rose buds which gave only a faint forecast of the life concealed within. Early in the year we had our first class meeting, and under the able direction of Miss Sarah Dinsmore, our class supervisor, we elected our class colors, purple and gold, and chose our President Brown Zahnizer. The two social successes of the first year were the Senior-Freshman reception, when we were given a taste of the social life of the High School, and the Freshman picnic held at Cascade Park, to which came most of the Sophomores as self invited chaperones. Our class football team defeated the Seniors, and this achievement made us quite conspicuous. In basketball talent and ambition were not lacking, as was clearly demonstrated by the fact that our team tied for championship in the latter half of the season. In our second year, the soft little petals gradually unfolded and the upper classmen began to realize that this rose was really part of the par.ent bush—the High School. We had come to stay. At our first meeting held on October fourteenth, ninteen hundred twenty-two, Edward Ward was chosen as our leader. But early in the season, as he was leaving school, he resigned, and Paul Fahey, Vice President, played the part of our captain. Track, baseball, and football varsities claimed many representatives of the Sophomore Slass. Half of the school’s members in the relay team which ran in the Penn Track meet were Sophomores. A picnic was held as an exit from our Sophomore year, and the success with which it was carried out again proved ’25 capabilities. And now as we entered our Junior year, the period when the rose is almost blooming, we made impressions which never can be errased. This year for our leader we wisely selected Joseph Blanning, who skillfully led the class through its most trying periods. The great financial success of the year was the musical comedy “Don’t Park Here”. Like every play that has been given in the High School, it was declared the best Junior Play ever presented, but we sincerely believe that it did surpass all previous ones. As it was the last Junior play to be permitted within the portals of the Senior High, we feel happy to realize that we will have no future rivals for that honor. The greatest event of our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Three hundred and eighty-five people were seated at tables which were elaborately and tastefully decorated, w-hile overhead was a veritable bower of bright colored flowers mingled with the purple and gold of the Junior class. The joy derived from the cooperation among class members and the appreciation and compliments that we received from the Seniors well repaid us for our time and expense. Because of the yearly increase in numbei's of students in theJunior and Senior classes the Junior-Senior Banquet was to be disposed with thereafter, and because of this the Junior class took special plans to make this banquet live in the hearts of all who participated. The Student Council, which is a government of the students organized for the purpose of making Ne-Ca-Hi a better school, had six of its first twelve representatives from the Junior Class. About the middle of the year we selected our class ring, and placed our order with Mather Brothers, a local dealer. In a chapel program during the latter part of the year we took the students upon a “Trip Around the World”. The parts representing each country were so well carried out that both students and faculty agreed that they would not need to spend any money in travel that vacation. The act given in Hawaii was most entrancing. This delightful year closed with another informal gathering at Cascade Park. And then in the fall of ’24 we entered our last year together. Because of his skill as a leader we re-elected Joseph Blanning as our Senior Class President. With a good staff of officers, an interested and capable supervisor, and more enthusasm that we had ever displayed altogether in the three previous years, we started out to make this term the best, biggest, most successful, and most far-reaching in the history of Ne-Ca-Hi, in athletics, scholarship, activities, the Monitor, and any new or original enterprise that would benefit the school. As a result, this year the Monitor achieved its greatest success. The Christmas issue was the largest issue ever put out by a Monitor Staff, while the Fun Issue surpassed all sales records in the history of the Monitor, due to the able direction of Margaret Lennig, Editor-in-Chief. In athletics the Seniors have played an important part. To all our members who played on Varsity teams we pay tribute, and we feel especially proud that members of our class played on the Football team that finally brought home the Syracuse Cup. Perhaps the most interesting innovation this year has been the class in Dramatics. We are proud to say that the class of 1925 furnished most of the talent for both the school and class play. A third performance was demanded for Come Out of the Kitchen, while Daddy Long Legs will linger long in the memories of the people. As the money cleared from both of these performances is turned into school use—to the music department and the library from the first, and our class gift from the second—the public is benefited in several ways: the young people receive splendid training, the pople are entertained with high class art, and the funds are turned directly into school properties for further use in the city. “The rose bud has unfolded and unfolded, Until here we are—a full blown rose Just how our footsteps may be guided. On what our future—no one knows.” As the years went by our members kept decreasing until the final list of those who are to receive the honors of graduating is three hundred and fourteen. If you will allow me to slightly change the wording of the good book, I will say, “Verily, I say unto you, that broad is the gate and wide is the way that leadeth to the High School, and many there are who go in thereat: but straight is the way and narrow is the gate that leadeth to graduation and few there are who enter it.” For twelve years we have eaten of the tree of knowledge and are about to go out into the wide world, and take our place in the ranks of those who are doing the useful things in life. It seems a sadder time than we expected, but we must never forget that tomorrow we will all enter into a renewal of life in a glad, bright, and glorious new spring time— 78 freshmen in life’s school—as green and fresh again as when we entered Ne-Ca-Hi. “Yes we are boys and girls, thank God, So let us upward climb, Up, up, till we are women and men Our last diploma won, When we shall all join hands again, And hear God’s great “Well done.” 79 BY LEROY DONALDSON (A Prologue) I saw a gray-haired man, small of stature, a figure of ripe old age who was writing by a neat, wood-hewn desk. He seemed to be in a bright room, somewhere high on a sunny hill top, so that through the open window one gained a glimpse of a pleasant valley below, the outline of a happy industrious city, and a vague misty spectacle of prosperous acres of farm land stretching up and out of the city and on and on until the sky seemed to catch up the land in its pleasant embrace. All the appointments of this little room were orderly and beautiful, and in some artful quality, in this peculiar difference and that, new and extraordinary to me. They were of no fashion that I could conceive, and the simple dress of the old man suggested neither country nor period. A peculiar sense of strangeness prevailed. And I thought, or perhaps it was that I dreamed—of Utopia. The words of the seer of the New Order came thundering down to me: “The World’s Great Age begins anew, The Golden Years return. The Earth does like a Snake renew Her Winter Skin outworn: Heaven smiles, and Faiths, and Empires gleam Like Wrecks of a Dissolving Dream.” The man whom I saw wrote with a strange instrument; it suggested neither fountain pen nor plucked quill, and upon still stranger material did he write—green leaves gathered from neighboring trees. He wrote steadily in an easy flowing hand, and as he finished each leaf he added to a growing pile upon his desk. His last done script lay uncovered before me. At first he was unaware of my presence, and I stood waiting until his strange pen should some to a pause. But now, at length, the writer was leaning back in his chair. He put down his pen, and with a sigh characteristic of the writer who has written to his satisfaction—“Ah! so you are here! I had been expecting you at any time. I always assist the prophets each year, sometimes in one way, sometimes in anoth- 80 J Ml r i LKIIS er. This year I have a novel plan. See those leaves?” He indicated with his hand those upon the desk. “Would you like to look them over?” “Yes”, I said, “I would like to.” And then with hints of suspicion creeping into my mind at such an offer, I added: “What is this place? And who may you be?” But the old man did not seem to hear. Then suddenly it came to me that the thoughts that arose in my mind were sinister and base, that the queer suspicions, the coarseness of the world was not present in this strange atmosphere. This was Utopia. And so I received the writing from the peculiar, old man who lived on the top of a sunny hill over looking a strange land. And having received the leaves, I did not wait to take further note of my surroundings. What I read was thus: FASCICLE THE FIRST OF THE BOOK OF LEAVES I sing of brave deeds of heroes, Who, being driven by fate, First have come from their homes To Ne-Ca-Hi and Learning’s Hall: Much have they been tossed Both in and out of school By the power of the gods above On account of the lasting wrath Of the cruel Arch-Enemy, Until they might find for themselves Wisdom, and bring in the essence Of the knowledge of those gone on To higher places: From whence is success and The right happiness of life. O Muse! relate to me the future Of this mighty class of Twenty-Five, Its honor and its glory! Great men will Ne-Ca-Hi As Alma Mater claim Brown and Byers as skilled lawyers In future will win fame. Bailey, the second Disraeli, Along with Paul Blair Will make for stray cats Artificial hair. O ye sons of toil, remember! ’Twas a lowly oyster that Started the pearl craze!” Such be the cries of our lady Reformers: Dean. Abblett, Davies, and Cain. Not all our class members Will climb the heights of fame, For we shall find V. Mick and Lyle Writing M-r-s before their names. “Since I left the kindergarten And donned shorter skirts—” So says Meermans to her husband When he can’t find his shirts. As end man in a circus show, Dickey will shine. While Ray and Rose as lesser stars Will follow in direct line. Rubies and Bosak will be professors In Penn State; While for the fishermen, Daly will furnish bait. Ward, our football star, Always had dates galore, Dates here and dates there, But still wanted more. So he’ll be endeavor’n to make Along with Post and Edmunds, A month with days of fifty-eight. Clarke, J. Patterson, and C. Rodgers The pigmies of the class, Will become great athletes. All others they will surpass. 81 Even B. Sankey and J. Solomon With their mighty brawn Will shudder when they see Such strength displayed by these. In this great age of science Much progress will be seen: The pride of the community, Alford and Dean with a fly’n machine. Raldauf will be a judge Of Wampum Town. O so grand! While Augustyn will own an estate And be overseer of much land. Baptiste, Cowmeadow, and J. Davis Will journey to Naples to test Out the saying: ‘See Naples and die.’ And then—they will be at rest. K. Hodge will cast her lot; And having a sailor got: She will be quiet and happy on the sea The name of her husband is— McKee. As mayor of New York Mclvor will gain renown; Helping rule the town Will be six good men Who are to him duty-bound: Fahey, Elder, and Joseph, Bratchie and Brelo and Brest. The Senate will house men of fame Some of them, let me name: R. Beadel, C. Kerr, P. Kuhla, J. Callahan, And L. Campbell, Cartwright, Chapman. A. Dodds will be an evangelist, Traveling the land o’er, Lifting up the fallen, Saving souls by the score. C. Hammill will be a pugilist. Fighting such men as M Fox And J. Fitzgerald.

Noss, Beauty has not been forsaken. O ye sons of the Inquisition, Country school teachers Being your positions, and Punishments we know you freely Administer: Hankala, Hill, Kenst, McCoy, and James Keck. ( Here the first fascicle ended. I threw the last leaf aside and looked for another. “How—”, said the old man. This is the prophecy? “It is what I have written in verse.” I hesitated upon further questions, then seeing the second fascicle at hand, I picked it up. And clearly, it was different. Evidently, it was a story of the future. It read thus:) FASCICLE THE SECOND OF THE BOOK OF LEAVES I have set myself to write of the days that for humans are yet to be, but of which I myself have already surveyed from my little room at the top of the world. Utopia stretches far and wide under the summit of my hill top, and it is of this land, the city and its wonders that I wish to set forth for those who are about to reside there. The Utopian city is Waldman, the name being taken from two lady reformers who are prominent in political affairs. Here in this city everything is shaped in accordance with the laws of beauty and fineness. The streets, having been laid out by Logan, Black, and Johnston, expert architects, are wide and smooth, the smoothness due to their being paved with rubber bricks which were invented by Ewing Thompson and E. Hodgkinson. However, much of the beauty of the city is due to the work of the Public Beauty and Improvement committee which has among its several members such personages as Betty Rodenbaugh, Riley, Walter Thorn, Hitchcock, Isabella, and Kennelly. The city is lighted, not by electricity, but by atomic energy. An atomic lamp has been perfected in the great Lowman-McFarland Laboratory through the combined efforts of several hundreds of scientists under the direction of professors, Lamoree, Geiger, Moore, Barnes, Pink, and Grotefend. Many similar discoveries have also been made in the Ruthrauff Institute. For instance, Walter Weyman discovered a remedy for broken hearts; Paul Hodgkinson has produced a chemical that promises to extinquish the roaches from the universe; Dukes has 83 invented a combination hair-tooth-clothing brush; Kemper has lately perfected an atomic bomb which destroys everything, when it is set off, within a radius of twenty miles. Rodgers, in the Weaver Rose Daily says that the bomb both of Kamerer and C. Teets will lesson the possibility of war rather than promote it. However, the rival paper, the Gilfillan-Brenner Press, comes out with a signed statement written by Clark and Ferver, which bitterly attacks the bomb-making-scientists, and even M. Jenkins leaves her pulpit to denounce the war lords who work under the name of science. Now. to get back to the wonders of the city, we cannot afford to leave out the marvelous buildings which have been constructed for the common welfare. The great Vatter-Wright Library, which has five millions of volumes of standard works upon its shelves, is the finest building in the city. The two multi-millionaire VanBrocklin brothers have lately donated five hundred thousand dollars to this library. At the present time William Twaddle is the librarian. Some of his assistants are Reed, Snyder, McFate, White, and A. Schu. The next building of importance for reason of its fine structure and general usefulness to the city is the Marshall Community College of Liberal Arts. Ed McClintock is the president; he received the position when Prof. Levin retired to enter the law courts. It is worthy to mention that Math and foreign languages have been abolished from the curriculum. This reform was brought about through the persistent efforts of M. Womer. V. Yoho, and A. Palidoro. The translation of the classics in other languages are read in the English classes. (Alice Moore and E. Ray have translated for school use most of the foreign classics.) Nettie Kline is at the head of the English department in Marshall College. Some of the professors who have aided in moulding the efficiency of the department are Preston, S. Love, Patterson, George Shaklee, V. Perdue, and Ruth Kuech. The other department that gains much consideration in this college is that of History. Margaret Wageley is chief supervisor, and for the different phases of history the professors are: United States History, the learned Lolita Williams; Ancient History, Prof. Wm. Linton; Civil Laws, Prof. W. Lloyd; Modern History, Mr. A. Masters; and Tribal Laws, Sherman Levine with Mr. Abe Plant as assistant instructor. Another building worthy of mention in Waldman is the Onash Museum which contains many relics of antiquity such as: Fox’s primitive Ford; Trodden’s ancient vanity box; Virginia Rhode’s pre-historic bob. Young is the superintendent of this mighty structure, and the other office holders are Travers, overseer of pre-historic apes; Russu, guardian of the species of the Russian Bolshevik; Dobelek. care-taker of the stuffed hyenas. Some very strange additions have lately been added to the Museum. For example, there is Helen Kerr, and a box of semi-barbaric hair groom, and Ann Shields’ husband. No—yes, the museum is a great building. And in this city there is no somber smoke and drifting darkness, no haunting music of wild disorder, no gray-smutted houses, no foul, greasy, defiled, black scum upon every leaf of every shade tree. All has been banished much after the manner in which St. Patrick banished the snakes and toads from Ireland. The notable persons who have been connected with this work are Ruth Donaldson McClure, Helen Queer, Sarah McGoun, Sowersby, Catherine McMillen, and Bernice Wiley. All is clean, all is beautiful. No thundering, smoke and dust breathing engines. An atomic engine has been introduced into the field of industry by the great industrial leaders: Nolan, Kinnon, Miller, Levine, Guinagh, and Franklin. And so great was the success that George Douglass, Esq., and Sam Dominick, A. M., have pursuaded the city to buy engines of this type to take care of excess hot air that issues from the chamber of the General Council. And further, there are no high, jostling, noisy tenements in this city. A Home Builders Association has been formed, which has provided a home for every family in the city. The directors of the company are Leathers, Newmark, Neudorfer, Turner, Dagnon, and Zenesta Floyd. There have been many parks built through the influence of Elizabeth Eckles and Betty Hanger. The two large parks of the city are the McCoy-McConahy and the Emery-Hoose. It ought also to be stated here that this Utopian city has a marvelous system of stores and business houses. Each company handles some special grades of wares; take for an example the Wyrie-Streib- Smith Company. It handles all the groceries of the city, having a store in each of the six districts of Waldman. The same is true for the McLafferty-Armstrong Corp. which handles hardwares. Ginsburg and Davenport maintain a system of barber shops upon the same order as the stores. Now, this city has a government peculiar in itself. The city is divided into six different districts and each sends a delegate once a month to the General Council. The delegates at present are Alborn, Marian Alexander, Gertrude Johnson, Frances DeBaise, and Thomas. Each dpartment of the government is dependent of the other, except that each is responsible to the General Council. The departments and their heads are: Public Safety, Houk; Public Instruction, Bollard; Public Improvements, Mary Creveling; Public Funds, E. Johns. There was at one time a fire department, but since the days of the Morris-Nickel building materials, there have been no fires. The police department has also been scrapped since the great Wm. Woods has proved it to be of no fundamental use to the community. It has been supplemented by a criminology bureau which tests every individual once every two years; this work is under the direction of four specialists. E. Noss, Pankratz, Lutz, and Irwin. The public schools are also strikingly different than those used in many of the cities before the New Order. Dr. Ramsey and Dr. Fishkin have arranged the system so as to have all the children of the same age in the same building, and most of the education of the smaller pupils is carried on by motion pictures and illustrated charts. Some of the instructors in the education of the children of the Utopian city are V. Baker, Ph. D.; A. Body, M. A.; F. Palmer, B. A.; and Bessie Hofmeister, M. A. The higher grades are being improved by introducing courses of lecture at various intervals. Some of the recent speakers in the school were Jessie Callahan, expert cartoonist; M. Dickson, the editor of the Henessy-Hunter Times; Sarah Manker, president of the Warso Railroad; and Dorothy McKee, beauty expert. It yet remains to be told what the ultimate glory of this city will be. It can hardly be disputed that a city of such super accomplishments 86 will in the near future make rapid strides towards the highest goal of endeavor. Already there is some indication of the wonders that are to come. A new flood of highly educational works has just been run off the press; some of the new writers are Helen Sonneborn, Clyde Shaffer, Beatrice Laverick, Thelma Love, and Susan Wallace. Mike Phillips has issued a book of verse which promises to equal anything ever done by Lord Tennyson. But the most notable work done in the literary line is a Standard Biography of every person of note in the world. The editors of this work are F. Lewis, A. Kendall, M. Rogan, F. Wortman, Yetta Lebo, and M. Patterson. Such are some of the advances in Waldman, Ihe greatest city in the universe. There yet remains for me to tell of the Utopian country as a whole. 1 have hitherto confined myself to the one city of Utopia that I knew best. This country does not have a president. The work of the government had long ago become too burdensome for one man to handle. So now the executive power is in the hands of a group of capable individuals, the Misses Campbell, Ruth Mehard, M. Ray, Gail Patterson, Clara Miller, and A. Walker. The members of the houses of Congress are too numerous to mention all, but some of the outstanding leaders are L. Henry, E. Connelly, T. Roberts, H. Jones, I. Daltorio, and Helen Gibson. The supreme court is no longer the monarch of democratic government that it used to be. K. Milliken and Isabel Mitchell succeeded in passing a law which makes the supreme court one of free arbitration. The present members of the court are R. Weschler, L. Kirker, M. Zarilla. M. Yesenski, E. Williams, E. Lerner, Martha Leivo, Mary Kenehan, and L. Druschel. So much for the mighty government. We now come to the great individuals of Utopia and the fields of endeavor where they found their greatness. M. Hemphill and M. Watkins are great oil queens. Their control of oil is equal only to the monopoly on sugar that the Connor-Leohner Corp. possesses. However, it is not to be supposed that such combinations are not objectionable to the public. Two well known orators have lately raised their voices against all big trusts. I refer to Sam Tomasello and Chester Weddell. The most conspicuous figure in the railroad world is that of Thomas Sadler. He has under his direction the Wardman-Waddington Lines and the Great Northern Pacific which was formerly owned by Mary Kolibash and Mabel Lewis. Herman Patton and Robert Robson are Czars in the automobile business, while in the aeroplane manufacturing business the greatest individuals are M. Cooper, A. Pelino, S. Smith, and Alek Metta. And now at last we come to the mighty Kennedy-Newburv Daily Times. J. Lasky is the editor, and the reporters are C. Coulter, Irene Matthews, and Rose Menichino. This is the greatest paper in Utopia, primarily because the greatest people of the country write for it. Recently such were the topics that were treated: The Anatomy Of The Spider by John Lewis; the Advisibility Of Founding A Loose Nut Club In Heathen New Castle by Dorothy Miller; the True Story Of An Animal In A Jungle by B. Nelson; the Most Misquoted and Misused and Entirely Abused Book In The Universe—Noah Webster’s Dictionary by Floyd Lusk; Why Welsh Songbirds Excel Those of Any Other Nation by Blodwen Grey. 86 One looks upon Utopia as one would upon a mansion. The great arches and domes of grass above;the airy spaces of the city, the slender beauty of the perfect metal-work far overhead softens the fairy-like atmosphere of Utopia. There is no longer filth and impurity. One goes along avenues of architecture that makes one forget the glories of Greece. One notices the gay and swiftly moving people on the public highways, not in the noise and roaring of the gasoline vehicle, but on fieeting walks, and presently one finds himself in a sort of central space, rich with palms and bright flowers and marble statuary. Down the wide avenue of trees, down a beautiful gorge between cliffs of towering marble buildings, one goes in Utopia in the most exquisite enjoyment of the life as it was really planned for human man.— It is with a great deal of respect that the people of Utopia look to their great leaders, those who with fore-sight have made possible a life of splendid pleasures. Such reformers as Agnes Sankey, E. Ridley, M. Reed, K. Jones, D. Stunkard, E. Swinehart, and M Slovonsky. They are the Lincolns and Washingtons of Utopia. And who would deny them the honor? With equal respect are the great scientists who banished diseases held by the people of this marvelous land. The names of Helen Hoffman and Lucille Hutchison will outlast the ages. Nor will the Utopians ever quite cease talking about the statesmen who banished war forever—Pitnoff, Mullen, Myers, McGowan, and Daugherty will be the beacon lights forever upon the pages of the history of human kind. (THE EPILOGUE) This was as much as the old gentleman had written. I had been absorbed in this most interesting account of the future of the class of Twenty-five, so much so thaat I had forgotten that I was in a strange place. But as I neared the end, the sense of my surroundings returned to me. and. as I finished reading, I looked around with a sudden, startled expression, expecting the old man to be near by. But alas! He was GONE. The leaves were in my hands. 87 $25 (Elufifl WISDOM’S HIGHWAY ARTHUR LOWMAN A palace great built in fabled climes— Of columns, courts, and pinnacles sublime. Success, this wondrous structure has been named. But one road leads us to its much sought door. Which ’mong the mortals of this Earth is famed As being paved with Knowledge solid o’er. Above this eth’real pile a brilliant star Shines ever as the goal of high ideals; At times it seems so near, then yet so far When Fate from us the star’s perfection steals. So we must have Ambition, Faith, and Hope To gain Success or ev’n its halfway slope. This road has beck’d to us with varied calls. And we have answered in no slight degree By work and joy in these, our own fair halls. Each one of us must go our own way, free To win or lose, as we are strong or frail In starting upward on the well-worn trail. The steps which we have taken thus far Along the pathways to the distant spires. Will our whole future help to make or mar. In progress, more than knowledge each requires, For all with Virtue versus Vice must wage; It ne’er shall change—this war of every age. Minerva graciously her spell has cast, Has given each the same chance to attain A great achievement ere our days are past. This e’er is true: the strong great vict’ries gain; The swift, the race; but to the wise, the world— From time unknown ’till time not yet unfurled. Class Knocker I am chosen, I say it with much glee, I have the chance to slam you all, Both high and low degree. Not everyone is given the opportunity 1 have just now—a moment when the student body lays a hammer in your palm, and you are allowed to swing it at random; to disclose the shortcomings of all worthy of its knock. Perhaps you people have come here envying us our golden opportunity. We don’t blame you. We felt the same way ourselves four years ago. We admit it looks well, but the gold certainly tarnishes when we realize the truth of the old saying, that things are not what they seem. From the green grass upon which we must not walk, to the seats under which we must not place our gum and the windows through which one daren’t peek without the inevitable avalanche of pink slips, there is a string tied to everything in this place. That the public may not remain in ignorance, it is my duty to give you a glimpse of things as they are. It has been said that success is unattainable without a leader. Perhaps that accounts for our discrepencies, for no one could accuse the Senior class of having a leader. I even blush to name our most prominent member. President Joseph Blanning. The only thing of which he is capable is keeping a girl on the string and she isn’t of the Senior class. Our treasurer is equally inefficient. If the Seniors had any money, they certainly wouldn’t have entrusted it to Eugene Wallace. Actually he is so fickle that he has Kate keep track of the class dues in a notebook. Lately we all have cause to fear for that notebook. The only 89 reason Ruth Donaldson was re-elected as secretary was because in our Junior year she didn’t read the minutes loud enough to disturb the sleeping class. Frankly, the whole thing is a good joke! Why try to educate people anyway? The ignorant are so numerous, it is impossible to list them all. But perhaps it is just as well. Goodness knows the teacher’s darlings who receive the ninety-five grades have faithfully tried to teach us what school is for. May I just mention here, that I will not tell you why certain of our body receive those grades. That is one of our unsolved problems. In spite of their example, however, most of the Seniors think the public maintains the school as a kindergarten, so that our mothers need not be troubed with us during the day. It is customary in our school to present a banner to the class having the highest attendance average. Even I with all my disillusions was shocked at a little incident which occurred a short time ago. Last week Don McCleary asked me what that red and black flag with Perfect Attendance” printed on it meant. The Seniors probably considered it beneath their dignity to win it—and consequently every month an innocent, wide-eyed Sophomore trudges proudly away with it. Perhaps even in spite of our numerous miseries, we might live through all these tortures if we were only permitted to have one or two pleasurable chapel programs during the week! But no—we don’t get enough education five days in the week—they must thrust it down our throats in chapel also! It’s unbearable. To make bad matters worse we can’t even sleep through them. The Sophs on the shelf won’t remain quiet. By the way, speaking of chapel programs, a speaker the other day told us we were a good looking bunch of people—and Joe Patterson as well as Burdell Sankey blushed desperately. Oh yes, we have a Student Council too; our beacon light of behavior. The best joke of all! A lot of good they do, by propping up some tin cans and sticking advisory signs above them—such as “Throw waste here.” One poor unknowing Soph obeyed orders—in went his waist. In all fairness to my class, I do not believe I would be justified to not mention the things we do well. I think the activity in which we excel is that of sleeping, when the unsympathetic faculty will allow us. Were you ever in a study hall with Duke Byers? Oh yes—one other accomplishment, I almost forgot. No one will question the ability of our girls to handle a powder puff, to know the exact shade of rouge most becoming to her natural beauty,—the ability of the boys to wear collegiate corduroy and Sing Sing hose, with just a little more grace and simplicity than any underclassmen. But then, one must not be too harsh on the school and the class. When we think of the individuals, we must admit we haven’t done so bad at that. Take the Hi-Y president, Red Kennedy, for instance! He sat up one night until two o’clock trying to pat himself on the back, and complained of sunburn next day. It was in the middle of the winter too. Eddie Ward thought the ciass couldn’t progress without him so he returned, after we had hoped we had succeeded in getting rid of him. The biggest four-flusher in the school is Carmi Preston. He can’t even take a girl out, unless he charges it. Even a special delivery letter! Poor girls! Tad Thorn thinks every girl in the school worships him. You’d think Jack McLure and Tuffy Thomas owned the Monitor room, the way they monopolize it. By the way, we have one member, an orator of whom we should all be proud. Did you hear Jack Davis’s oration the other day? Why he’s so good he stopped right in the middle of his speech to admit it. They say music hath power to soothe the savage beast. They forgot to mention that the savage might not be so savage if he weren’t forced to listen to the practice. Since Mr. Paton and his piano have moved into 118, the contest 9th period for supremacy between the music department and the gym is over. The orchestra wins. From the standpoint of individuals, Tom Lewis and Frank Cox admit that our New Castle High School orchestra has already wrought wonderous results from them. The boys are not the only hopeless ones either! The girls are just as bad, if not worse. Peg Wageley intends to enter a talking contest but we certainly wish she wouldn’t practice at High School. Lolita Williams and Helen Lyle spoil every little Freshman’s dream of happiness! If the rainbow was ever known to have a rival, Elizabeth Hodg-kinson should get first honors. We admit Ann Shields is pretty, but she monopolizes every mirror in the building to accomplish it. The rest of us feel fortunate if we manage to even spy the tip of our shiny nose in one. Peg Lennig has succeeded as an editor. Perhaps it is her literary talent that is to blame for that love-lorn look that appears around her eyes of late. Such foolish girls! As ever Ne-Ca-Hi has served its purpose as a rendezvous for lovers. I know there will be keen disappointment if I do not mention them. However there is nothing either startling or new from Ches and Marge who daily sit at the feet of Minerva, to the like wise famous Ches and Virginia who keep watch over Study I. But the thing that troubles me is how to untangle the motley crew which congregates in our basement halls. I’m afraid Venus herself would consider it quite a task. But there is one burden on my mind that I have waited patiently to disclose to you. That burden is our most honorable faculty, who pretend to strive to uphold our standards with their lives. My mind is not clear when I think over all of our faculty—I tremble with fright and fear when I imagine I see daggering glances and hear the sharp heartless words. “But I will on with my speech in your praise”, said Homer —or was it Eleanor Glyn? To begin with “baer.” I refuse—my heart would fail me. His growl would terrify even the most daring! When it comes to preciseness in lessons and “Henry”, Miss T. Elliott surpasses them all. Should-Mrs. Hoon and her husband quarrel, we poor creatures would be content with a D. Then there is Miss Kelley! Another who had missed her calling! She should have been a supervisor in some girls’ school, where she is “monarch of all she surveys.” Miss McClaren smiles quite sweetly until it arrives near Monitor publication, and then her smiles are a lost art. Mr. Weide and Miss Gilkey in Chemistry Laboratory, or Mr. Weide and Miss T. E. Elliott in the cafeteria forget their positions 91 as dignified teachers and continue their romances, oblivious to the embarrassment of the youthful students and to the bad example it sets. Ralph Gardner, as a gardener, would be most happy and successful. Then he could cut and dig to his heart’s content without offending anyone. I’m sure the cabbages and carrots would not be as hurt as our fair damsels. So might I rave for hours about this unseemly body of rulers —but to quote Miss Rhodes, “Enough is enough”, and she might have added “for one’s personal safety.” Even now I believe that I perceive an unsheathed weapon that gleams angrily from Mr. Hoon’s eyes. But fear no more—oh noble audience! My end is nigh, and, t Since now my speech is over, 1 too, say this with glee; To knock is not an easy task, if loved ones it should be. So let’s forget these silly slams, And take them all in fun; The best of us have faults, you know— Hurrah! My task is done. % 92 CARMIPRESTON ®br (Burning (Eituett Tonight we are at the parting of the ways; by the time the sands have repeated another cycle of twenty-four hours we shall have reached the stage in life we have ben struggling towards for the past twelve years. Even four years ago, how far away this time seemed; just last September we felt that it was a long time until June 3, 1925, yet how swiftly the days of our senior year have sped. Most of us are still dizzy with the swirl of the past months and weeks. Now' the question is—“Are wre fitted to become worthy citizens of this great commonwealth?” If we are not, it is not because we have not had abundant opportunities to prepare ourselves. Our public school system has placed everything at our disposal, and we should be prepared for any emergency. Disraeli says, “The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. We cannot afford to waste time for life is too short and time is too valuable to waste in idleness.” The gods sell every thing for that, nothing without it. We will never find success marked dow’n. The door to its temple is never left open. Everyone who enters makes his own door, w'hich closes behind him to all others. We must up and on, for, according to Marie Corelli, “If we choose to be no more than clods of clay then we shall be used as clods of clay for greater people to tread on.” And so, my friends and classmates,—after four happy, eager, strenuous years, fraught as they were with joy, sorrow', achievement, and regret, we stand at last on the threshold of a great adventure—Life! Life untried stretches out before us, life with its thousand voices calling. Arouse! Gird yourself for the race. We are about to cast aside the iridescent coat of High School days and don the somber garment of one who assumes the senous responsibilities of life. Great destinies lie shrouded in swiftly coming years, great opportunities stand in the passages of everyday life, great dangers lie hidden in the by-paths of life’s busy highway; great uncertainty hangs over our future history. Our bliss or misery in two worlds hangs pivoted in the balance. Our endeavors after leaving High School will follow diverging paths. Some will seek a higher education in college and university, while others will enter the marts of trade, business, or professional life in our cities. What ever our choice, whatever our gain, the chief objective is the building into our character the principles of noble manhood and womanhood, the supreme essentials of good citizenship. Citizens who will have a strong moving purpose in life and who will sacredly regard both civic and national responsibilities; citizens who will live for something worthwhile in life;—its capabilities and opportunities, its noble deeds and achievements—citizens who will make the world better; who W'ill lift it up to higher levels of enjoyment and progress; citizens who w'ill devote to their fellow-men their best thoughts, activities, and influences. Citizens who will walk steadfastly, firmly, jubilantly, toward the duties of daily living. All this spells Service Sublime. This is the Age of Service and the highest service we can render, the greatest thing we can ever do is to make ourselves morally and mentally great. Looking well to our foundation that it is absolutely secure under all circumstances, then our citadel can never be taken unless we surrender the keys. Now for action—Service must take some form of expression. Labor either of the head or the hand is the lot of humanity—Theodore Roosevelt has said, “The average man must earn his own livelihood. He should be trained to do so and he should be made to feel that he occupies a contemptible position if he does not do so.” To determine any occupation, you must view it from two distincs angles; what has it to offer in qualities that interest you; what of its dignity and usefulness? Now take inventory of your qualifications for this occupation—can you met the need, w'ill it require your best and keenest thought, your utmost skill and effort? Make this all-important discovery as early in life as possible, find out who you are, where you are, and what you are. Then, if the position you occupy does not satisfy you, work with all your faculties to change your position. Check up upon vourself, make notes of your conquests, keep the positive gains before you, be diligent, looking for success while the fire of enthusiasm burns the ashes of failure. Make friends of those wrho are trying to do something worthwhile, to be helpful forces in the world’s work, people of high ideals and worthy ambitions. The mingling with people who are climbing upw'ard encourages greater effort and stimulates enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the emblem of Youth, the keynote back of the coming citizen today. Enthusiasm is the outside evidence of inside belief; it is the full interpretation of individual energy and proves that the back bone of progress is where it ought to be—in the individual. With all our forces properly marshalled, directed wth a faith that is eternal we can say with the grandeur and spirit of Van Dyke, Let me but do my work from day to day. In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In waring market place or tranquil room; Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my work; my blessing, not my doom; Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way. Then shall I see it not too great nor small To suit my spirit, and to prove my powers; Then I cheerfully greet the laboring hours; And cheerfully turn when the long shadows fall, At eventide, to play and love and rest, Because I know for me my work is best. rniiir (EruHa HJorft tyixzzW HORIZONTAL VERTICAL 1. —Something we worry about. 2. —A pronoun. 3. —Dried leaves. 4. —New Castle Block Station. 5. —In high degree. 6. —Name of an English teacher. 7. —Something Weide has not done. 8. —A conjunction. 9. —A musical note. 10. —A blackboard. 11. —A conjunction. 12. —Part of verb to be. 13. —Part of verb to take. 14. —Important part of a wedding. 15. —Reason. 16. —Part of football manager’s name. 17. —Prefix meaning equal. 18. —Initials of local shoe mer- chant. 1. —One person Seniors will miss. 2. —Our staff supervisor. 3. —To repent. 4. —Foreign country. 5. —A Range. 6. —A piece of clothing for men. 7. —Form of a coat. 8. —To scream. 9. —Pertaining to astronomy. 14.—A gathering. SID LOCK LEY LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1925 We, the Class of 1925, of the New Castle High School, of the City of New Castle, County of Lawrence, State of Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and memory, considering the uncertainty of our lives and the brief space of time we yet have among you, and being desirous of settling our affairs while we have the capacity, do make, publish, and declare this, our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us. As to the estate, it has pleased the Fates to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows:— To the Faculty: We bequeath the records of our wonderful achievements, our composure in the class rooms and our art of asking questions. We also leave to this august body, our highly cultivated sense of humor; for, to our misfortune, this is a quality in which they are sadly lacking. To the Juniors: We leave our dignity, conceit, and good behavior. We also leave to this class our ability to rise early in the morning, that they may attempt to equal our enviable record. To the Sophomores: We leave the scratches on top of and the chewing gum beneath the desks in Study I. We also leave them the hall steps for the arrangement of various social affairs. To the Student Council: We leave our thanks for an extra school dance. To the Hi-Y: We leave, by our president’s request, three red hairs from his head, which shall be framed (the hairs, not the head) and hung in a prominent place in the club room. To the Latin Senate: We leave those exhausted animals we used in our travels through Caesar. Apart from our estate we have a few personal possessions to be distributed among our friends. To Clyde Williams, we leave “Peg Lennig’s position as “General Grafter” of the Monitor. 97 To Edna May Shaffer, we leave all the medals that, have been won by our track captain, “Red” Kerr. We also give to this fair maiden his Class ring. To Jim Hinish, we leave the balance of “Tuffy” Thomas’ hot air. To Dot Davis, we leave our class president. To any seven fellows in the Junior Class we leave our cheerleader’s voice. They may try in vain to rival it. To Bill Kirk. we leave Paul Blair’s catalogue of Ford supplies. To Coach Bridenbaugh, we leave the right to mourn the graduation of half of his crack football team. To anyone who is in the Chemistry Laboratory on a cold morning, we leave Bill Linton’s “hot” sweater. To Ralph H. Gardner, Esq., we leave some of Art Bratchie’s surplus hair. We trust he will know what to do with it. To be the executor of our last will and testament, we appoint Minerva, the guardian angel of our hall, who has watched over us for four eventful years and who has our interests so much at heart, that we know she will attend to our last wishes. In witness whereof, we have set our hand and seal this 23rd day of May, in the year of our winning the Syracuse Trophy. CLASS OF 1925.

Miss VanDivort, our supervisor, stirred vigorously, Mr. OrLh supervised, and lo we came out SOPHOMORES, all former difficulties and rivalries forgotten. We chose green and white for our class colors and are very well satisfied with our selection. The harmony and blending of the colors give us a cool, refreshing, and restful feeling. Moreover, the colors green and white make excellent athletic suits, and may also be effectively used in decoration. We have been successful in athletics. For Sophomores we have had a notable place in all types of sports. We trust and believe that we will be even more efficient and better represented during our Junior year. We are a very modest class, but our regular attendance gives us cause to boast. During the whole year we kept the attendance banner in our midst. It is true that one Junior class secured it for the brief period of one month, but they were mid-years and enrolled as Sophomores. For the first time in the Ne-Ca-Hi history a party was held for the Sophomores only. We had an altogether enjoyable evening, with such good eats and entertaining games that we feel we have established a custom which those following will desire to continue. As w'e look at the scholastic standing of our members we do not lay stress upon the number of the low students nor the number of the honor students, but we do emphasize the standing of the average student, a large per cent of whom have done commendable w'ork. In consideration of our numerous activities we feel that the class as a whole is carrying out the plan and program of the school. Thus we look back with pride upon our well-spent Sophomore year, and look forward in anticipation of greater victories in 1925-1926. The officers we have chosen to represent us are: President _.................... David Young Vice President................. John Melder Secretary.................... Theodore Costelle Treasurer -................... Clarence Klaber 103 THE CLASS OF NINETEEN TWENTY-SIX “Not at the top, but climbing”, would be a fine motto for our class as we surely started at the rock bottom last year, regardless of the fact that each day was begun from our lockers on the third floor. From the first, the class took quite an interest in athletics. The boys held second place the whole year. But the girls, being more successful, were not only well represented on the Varsity basketball team, but also won the class basketball championship. To show our Scholastic ability, the list of Sophomores on the Honor Roll increased with each report period. The Student Council was organized for the first time and four of our members were elected to take part in the association. The Senior-Sophomore reception was the important social event of the year. Thus w-e ascended the steepest cliff and became Juniors! What a huge feeling! This year our athletic standing remained about the same, except that the girls exchanged, taking the Volley Ball laurels this time. As soon as field hockey was introduced, the girls formed a team that upheld the class honors in a very creditable manner. The boys also supported their class well in athletics. Many of the Juniors have been admitted to the various clubs of the High School:—Latin Senate, French Club, Adelphic Literary Society, Girls Club, Hi-Y etc. The prominent social event of this year w7as the Junior-Senior Soiree. The Class of ’26 is steadily climbing from cellar to attic—so to speak. But this is largely due to our splendid Supervisor, Miss Kelley, who has been a wise counselor and a great aid in excavating some of the hidden treasurers of the class. The Juniors extend to her their utmost appreciation. OUR OFFICERS Billy Johns —..... Dean Staley ...... Annabel Wright .... William Wallace ... Allan Haid......... Eugene Kirker..... .....

HOON MR. FAWCETT SENIOR PLA Y—“DADDY LONG LEGS 115 THE SENIOR PLAY On May 7, the Senior Class again gave New Castle an opportunity to view the wonderful ability of its dramatists. We thought Come Out of the Kitchen was as good as a play could possibly be, but Daddy Long Legs broke the record. Mary Pickford herself couldn’t make a better Judy than our Bertie. And who would have thought that haughty and boisterous Mrs. Faulkner could be such a sweet and loving Judy as Irene was? No wonder Miss Hartsuff couldn’t decide which w'as the better, and so gave both the part. Listen, men, you’d better think twice before you marry Billy Noss! Such a sharp tongue as Mrs. Lippet’s is safest a mile away. Girls, wouldn’t you just love to have Tad propose to you?!? O death, where is thy sting! No wonder every one wanted to try out the last act! Helen Lyle sure is a Jack of all trades. Being an orphan, the mother of a college girl, and a kindly old lady running a farm, all in the course of one night, takes tact that only Helen could have. We advise her to give vocal instructions. We haven’t room here to tell of the tricks of mischievous young Freddie Perkins; of the wiles of carefree Julia till she finally captured Jimmy; or of the persuasions of Miss Pritchard to give her Judy a college education, not to speak of the orphans and trustees. If we would once begin, we could never stop. However, taking all in all, we think our class is to be congratulated on its dramatic success.

Miss Ruth Lewis playing the leading role, Olivia Daingerfield, portrayed that beautiful character in an almost unsurpassable manner. Her acting alone was one of the great features of the production. Miss Lewis lived her part. When she came onto the stage, the audience did not see Ruth Lewis, they saw Olivia Daingerfield. What greater art than that can be asked of any player? Walter Thorn, or rather Burton Crane, the Yankee millionaire rivaled the professional. His dignity was one of his strongest points. He was indeed the one to play opposite Miss Lewis. Edward Ward, or Solon Tucker, the Washington attorney, if you please, produced a great many of the humorous incidents of the play. His sister. Mrs. Falkner. the haughty dowager, was played by Irene Meermans. Little more can be said of her admirable work than the fact that anyone who saw' the play can not help laughing when that part is mentioned. Helen Lyle took the part of Cora, the daughter of Mrs. Falkner. She made a minor part speak for itself. Paul Daingerfield was played admirably by Carmi Preston, and his actions as the butler added greatly to the zest of the play. Miss Lolita Williams as Bess, the haughty sister, portrayed that character perfectly. She added individuality to her part. Then came Charley, the funny Fred Clemens himself. His every move brought a laugh from the audience, and his actions as Brindy, the all around boy for the boots and errands was one of the most brilliant character portrayals in the whole play. Tom Dickey excelled in the role of Randolph Weeks, the suave complacent Virginian real estate dealer, wTho was disappointed in love. As a poet and statistician w-ho gets into mixups, Allen Haid w'as supreme in the character part, Tom Lefferts. Then there was Mandy, the colored servant of the Daingerfields. No, Mandy wras not permanently black. With her make up off she was none other than Bessie Hoffmaster who made a wonderful success of this difficult role. Her dialect was splendid. No play could reach the height of perfection without those who perform back of the scenes. Very careful attention to detail in the arrangement of scenery caused each act to add its part toward making the atmosphere of the play perfect.

Sarah McGoun, Frances Wilson, and Mary McGoun DRAMATIC CLUB THE DRAMATIC CLUB “To portray on the stage, the true emotions of the soul, is the art of drama.” With this quotation uppermost in the minds of its followers, the Dramatic Club, under the supervision of Clara M. Hartsuff, was organized in the fall of 1924 and passed, most successfully, through it’s period of infancy. The purpose of the club is to allow those, gifted with dramatic talent, an opportunity to study drama under capable supervision and to give them occasion to act before an audience. Although just a preliminary training, it is an example of work received in an extensive dramatic course in any University and if the student takes up drama for his life-work, he knows curriculum of study before he enters college. Besides reading many plays and studying the characters, books were read on make-up, costumes, properties, lighting and the attributes that a successful actor must have and how he may acquire them. The Dramatic Club also had charge of several chapel programs, and the following one act plays were given: “Lonesomelike,” “The Maker of Dreams,” “Suppressed Desires,” “Why the Chimes Rang,” and “Big Sister’s Christmas Dream.” “Suppressed Desires” was given before a large audience on patron’s night, also, and “Big Sister’s Christman Dream,” was enacted before the Neighborhood Kiddies of the Scioto Street Home. Tw'o large plays were undertaken and proved a success both from an artistic and a financial standpoint. “Come Out of the Kitchen,” ihe school play, was given on three nights with capacity houses, while “Daddy Long Legs,” the Senior Class play, will be remembered always for the wonderful character portrayals. The Club has achieved tremendous success for it’s first year. Everything undertaken was turned out a finished product. Many gifted dramats were found through the Club this year and it is believed that it will be the source of the discovery of many more. The Club is still in it’s infancy; nevertheless great things have been accomplished by it, and under the supervision of it’s capable coach, the Club has promise of becoming one of the most prominent organizations of Ne-Ca-Hi. The Seniors originated the club, but they are passing on to other fields of labor, and must leave the unfinished task to the Juniors and Sophomores to complete; but the work is left with the experience of the Seniors for background and the “best wishes” of 1925 for the future.

IRVINE Under the capable instruction of Mr. La-Verne Irvine, the music department of New Castle High School has made rapid progress in the five years that he has been in Ne-Ca-Hi. At his instigation, the Junior Orchestra has been organized for the purpose of training the inexperienced pupil. As a result our Senior Orchestra is exceptionally fine. It is always ready to lend its sendees to banquets, concerts, entertainments and school plays and also to play for civic organizations at their special meetings. Two years ago a music competition was held in New Castle, in which the Ne-Ca-Hi orchestra and band won first places over Allegheny High of Pittsburgh, Pa., and South High of Youngstown, Ohio. The band under his supervision has appeared before the public in football games, parades, and concerts, and has attained national fame through a contest in Chicago, where in competition with High School bands from all parts of United States, it won fifth place. The music department has been further enlarged by classes in harmony, musical appreciation, and chorus. These are of great value to the student who studies music as an art, as well as to the one who intends to make it his profession. Although Mr. Irvine has very able assistants in Mr. John E. Paton, Mr. Elmer Patterson and Miss Ruth MacEwen, much of the credit of Ne-Ca-Hi’s high musical standing and appreciation, is due to his labors and his personal interest in each student.

After preliminary training at Muddy Creek Falls and at Frank-lin Field, they entered a season of victories. The schedule was made up of the leading high school teams of the W. P. I. A. L. and of the state. In spite of being outweighed, of injuries at critical moments and a series of stiff games, the boys gave all they had and came through the season undefeated. They journeyed across the state to battle with Harrisburg Technical School and came out victorious, despite many odds, by a score of thirteen to nothing. Although this game was outside the W. P. I. A. L„ it greatly increased our team’s state-wide reputation on the gridiron. Charleroi, by the selection of the W. P. I. A. L. officials, was our opponent in the semi-finals. New Castle led with a score of ten to six. Our only rival for the trophy then was Turtle Creek. The Cup Committee disapproved of another post-season game and in a private session awarded the Syracuse Trophy to New Castle because of her impressive record. The Syracuse Trophy is awarded by the Pitts- 133 WINNERS OF THE SYRACUSE TROPHY burgh Alumni of Syracuse University and it is emblematic of the championship of the Western Pennsylvania Inter-scholastic Athletic League.

The varsity teams have made a creditable record and the class teams have given an opportunity for more boys and girls to participate in athletics. The football team under the efficient coaching of Mr. P. H. Briden-baugh went through the season without a defeat and was awarded the Syracuse Trophy. The boys showed lots of fight and good sportsmanship throughout the whole season. The team of 1924 took the longest trip of any football team representing New Castle High when they went to Harrisburg and defeated the far famed Harrisburg Tech team thirteen to nothing. Their schedule 'was made up of the strongest teams in the league. Several were picked because they had good prospects of winning the Syracuse Trophy. The past football season, we can safely say. was the most successful our school has ever experienced. The Inter-Class League gave many boys a chance to play football. Members of the Faculty acted as coaches and a good brand of football was displayed. When the season closed the Seniors emerged champions of the Senior High School. This branch of sport proved valuable as good material has been unearthed. The Boys’ Basketball Team made a fair record, winning seven of fifteen games played. They finished in third place in the W. P. I. A. L. They made a good fight and were feared by all opponents. Many of the squad will be back next year giving good prospects for the 1926 season. The Boys’ Inter-Class Basketball League again enjoyed a successful season. A good class of basketball was displayed. The Seniors proved too much for their opponents and finished in first place in the Senior High School. The Girls’ Varsity Bisketball team came through the season with a brilliant record. They can well be named the champions of Western Pennsylvania as their record of thirteen victories and two defeats is the best in this section of the state. There was a good supply of material in the Girls’ Inter-Class Basketball loop, making an interesting floor season for the class teams. The Senior Girls set a fast pace and were crowned champions. The girls of the school were introduced to Field Hockey for the first time last fall. The game proved very interesting and required lots of skill and energy. The Senior Girls again brought home the title. Track training got under way in February. The Relay team took second place to Ford City in its heat in The One Hundred Twenty-seventh Field Artillery Meet at Pittsburgh. In the Penn Relays at Philadelphia they won their race with a ten yard margin. The time of the race was 3:38. Much of the credit for the success of the past season can be given to Mr. Bridenbaugh Mr. Kahn, Miss Gilbert and Mr. Gardner. 145 uuPE CONCERNING THE SENIORS ! r NAME NICKNAME AMBITION HANGOUT FAVORITE EXPRESSION Vida Abblett .........Magpie Bertha Alborn ........Bert ....

She promised to obey but we know Irene. The only event that marred the nuptials occurred during the most serious part of the ceremony. The bride blew so many bubbles that the expensive gown worn was ruined and this fact and not because Irene was being given away caused her mother to weep. The bride and groom will go on a honeymoon as soon as they can decide where to go. Chester Weddell and Margery Snyder wish to announce their engagement. They had hoped to keep it a secret but actions speak louder than words. For those who are inquisitive, Ches and Virginia are not married— yet!

There was a young fellow named Peter, Who struck at an active young skeeter. But the skeeter struck first, And slaked his thirst, For the skeeter was fleeter than Peter. Six-year-old Freddy, bred in the city, was on his first visit to his uncle’s farm. At breakfast he heard that his uncle’s Jersey cow had been stolen during the night. “That’s a good joke on the man who stole her,” was Freddy’s comment. “Why?” asked his uncle. “Why, just before supper last night the hired man took all the milk out of her.” The Mary Elizabeth SHOPPE ELIZABETH O’BRIEN HARRY J.
