In its more serious sections, we aimed to make it historically cor- rect. Into the remaining ones, we have tried to put things which might appeal to one’s sense of humor. Our foremost thought throughout has been good fun, and we hope all will take it as such. FAREWELL As a last word, we, the Class of January. 1922, in full appreciation of all that you have done for us. wish to extend our hearty thanks to the Faculty. We realize that words of thanks are of small value, but at present we are at a loss to express ourselves in any other way. When we entered these halls, fresh from the grammar schools, we were proud of what we knew. Soon this pride gave way to fear. That goal of graduation, which we had de- termined to reach, appeared so far away that we doubted our ability to attain it. We list- ened open-mouthed and wide-eyed to the talcs of the upper classmen. How this one had been in school for at least seven years, how that one had been expelled by the mere “wave of the hand” for practically nothing, and how still another had acquired hours and hours of indefi- nite detention, for being tardy. It was then that we were in the plastic state, ready to be molded in any way that the fates decreed, and it was then that you took hold of us and steered us into the right channels. From then on we have been struggling upward con- tinually becoming better Americans and bet- ter able to carry on our struggle for existence Now we arc within sight of our goal. Some attaining it in few and some in many years, but all determined to go out into the world and do our best to reflect honor and glory upon our Alma Mater. WHERE WE GOT IT Dear Editor: When your class adviser was graduated, long years ago. from a Newark grammar school, he had the great privilege of receiving his diploma from the hand of William Bar- ringer who had recently laid down the task of the Superintendent of Schools. Part of what Mr. Barringer said at that time has remained fresh in memory. ‘‘The Athenians,” he said “used to assert, ‘All the world centers in Greece, all Greece center in Athens; all Athens centers in the Acropolis.’ So perhaps we may say. ‘All the world centers in America: all America centers in Newark; all Newark cen- ters in its educational system, all the educa- tional system centers in the High School.” Then he urged us all to continue our studies in this, “the new high school,” then nearing com- pletion. From those words of Dr. Barringer, it seems probable arose the name of our school paper. The Acropolis. Since you have asked me to suggest a name for this special number. I offer the name. Parthenon. The old Parthenon was the crown of the Acropolis, the most beautiful building ever created by the hand and brain of man. As used in Athens, the word meant the maiden’s chamber.” the abode of the chaste maid of Athens. Athena, goddess of wisdom. But the word can mean more than that. “Parthenon” might mean not only a virgin, but also a boy just turning to manhood, in all the splendor of his young strength and purity. Therefore as a symbol of the beauty, purity, strength and youth of both boys and girls. I suggest that you take for your paper the name, Parthenon. Very sincerely yours, R. F. HAULENBF.F.K. 8 THE PARTHENON SENIOR ASSEMBLY NOTES On Newark Day the school assembled in the auditorium to hear interesting talks on Barringer High School's History given by dis- tinguished visitors and members of our facul- ty. Mr. Stearns, our principal, gave a brief history of Newark’s first high school. Newark was the third city in the country to establish a high school for the education of its boys. The number of students who enroll- ed for the first term was ninety-one. The average attendance was seventy-five. Admis- sion to high school was obtained by examina- tion. Although a resolution for a Boys’ H. S. was passed in 1838. the Newark H. S. building on Washington and Linden streets, which now is the Girls’ Vocational School, was not erected until 1855. Girls were also admitted to high school in the new building, and strange to say. the number of boys and girls admitted was the same, namely one hundred and ninety- seven. However, the boys and girls were or- ganized in separate departments. In 1850 the first high school library in Newark was started with the book called “De Boc’s Classical Cen- sus Statistics for 1850.” From this beginning grew our large high school library now on the second floor of our building. Newark High School moved in 1899 to the present Barringer High School building and the school was nam- ed after Dr. Barringer, superintendent of New- ark Schools, who did much for the advance- ment of high school education. Mr. Richard C. Jenkinson, an alumnus, spoke of the great citizens of Newark, lie pictured Newark in his youth as a small, in- dustrious town bounded on the north by State street, on the east by Railroad avenue, on the south by Lincoln Park, and on the west by Belmont Avenue. Within a radius of twenty- five miles of Newark dwelt and worked the nations greatest men. such as Morse and Ful- ton, and even Newark had its inventors, such as Seth Boyden and Thomas Edison, the form- er of whom invented the process of making malleable iron and made Newark a very im- portant shoe-manufacturing town, while the latter, who had his shop on Mechanic street, invented the phonograph and incandescent lamp. Miss Margaret Coult spoke on Recollections of her days in the Girls’ High School. The high school, as before mentioned, was not co- educational. The bovs and girls were taught in separate rooms and likewise had separate entrances. The girls entered on Washington Street, while the boys entered on Linden Street. Consequently the girls who came to school by cars running on Broad Street had to pass the boys entrance on Linden Street. The boys would stand in lines and watch the girls pass by. Miss Coult said that she soon discovered that by looking steadfastly at the boys’ shoes, the boys became nervous, started to fidget, ami soon “evaporated.” Mr. Arthur Taylor, also a Barringer alum- nus, spoke to us about the boys in the high school. He listed the many things which the THE PARTHENON 9 high school did not have, such as telephones, phonographs, teacher who had automobiles, or a principal who played golf. The boys did not have athletics or athletic teams save com- petition with putty blowers. He assured us that in his days they did not have Ponies.” The first Pony” that he ever heard of or saw was shown to him when he was studying Cicero and even this he could not use because it was a Caesar Pony.” Miss Jeannette Hattersley, a senior student, dressed in the costume of a lady of the form- er days recited a Mock Heroic Speech of An- thony entitled the Need of a New High School.” I)r. Corson, Superintendent of Schools, urg- ed us all to become worthy representatives of Newark's High Schools—to become citizens of character—and to advance the spiritual side of life in Newark as much as the material side oi it was advanced by our ancestors. The exercises were closed with a few cheers and the singing of “Alma Mater.” Dr. Carlisle, of the Forest Hill Presbyterian Church, spoke to the school at the Armistice Day Exercises on Thursday. November 10. Dr. Carlisle urged us all to consider Friday, No- vember 11, a Holy Day. since it marked the cessation of hostilities in the Great War. His experiences at the “Front” fully convinced him of the uselessness and folly of the whole war. Many of our soldiers lost their lives in France in trying to kill the German Spirit. This they did not succeed in doing, for the German Spirit is stronger than it ever was before the war. Dr. Carlisle said, you cannot kill the spirit by beating the body.” This was shown in this war to be true, for many Germans lost their lives, but the Spirit still remained. Dr. Carlisle asked all to join with him in a move- ment for peace, for soldiers of peace, such as doctors, teachers, scientists, clergymen, etc., instead of soldiers of destruction, the banc of mortals. We all, along with Dr. Carlisle, hope that the present Disarmament Conference at Wash- ington will bring about a lasting peace, so that the coming generations may enjoy sweet peace and the fruits thereof, instead of dreaded war and heavy taxation. ROSTRUM. The Rostrum this term has not flourished as well as we should like to have it. This may be due to the fact that the season for inter- scholastic debating does not coincide with the football season, but is held in the spring. It is true that the Rostrum was very suc- cessful the term before when debates were held with Montclair and East Orange. How- ever. a few interesting meetings have been held at which interesting questions have been dis- cussed and debated. It is also said that plans for a debate with East Side are being consid- ered. The spirit of debating ought to be kept alive in the school continuously and not only when interscholastic debates arc arranged. The practice received in debating is something that cannot be overlooked. Time and again it plays an important role in the life of the suc- cessful business man. We would like to see the Rostrum much more successful next term and arrange some snappy and interesting debates such as have been held in the past. y ITALIAN CLUB Miss Mancusi-Ungaro, Faculty Adviser. .J Council lilerry Garfola Vinvcnt Barra Ralph Ricciardi L. Rizzolo Genevieve Weyand A regular meeting of the Italian Club was held on October 23. Plans for the Barn Dance were adopted. The dance took place November 13. D’AUcgro was appointed chair- man of the dance committee. Fusello was de- cided upon as chairman of the decoration com- mittee. Miss Caprio chairman of the refresh- ment committee, and Miss Leonora Rizzolo chairman of sympathy committee. It was decided that the club give a large Christmas party to the orphans of St. Lucy’s Church. The Italian Club this term has been very successful, in fact, this term it has prospered more than ever before. With the fine work of Miss Mancusi-Ungaro together with the help of the Council and the members, the club has 10 THE PARTHENON been made one of the leading institutions in Barringer. It has taken part in many events during the term such as the “Dante Celebration at the City Hall ” our own “Dante Celebration in the School” and the Columbus Day Celebra- tion.” At the school celebrations fine pro- grams were prepared and carried out. The meetings of the Italian Club this term have been featured by rather large attendances and intense discussion of all problems. Through Anselm Martucci. a member, the fame of the club has reached unto the very ears of his Honor, the Prince of Italy. The members have been commended by the Prince for the praiseworthy work they have done to spread the development and study of the Ital- ian language. When the annals of the club close at the end of this term, it will be agreed by all that the club has had a very prosperous and suc- cessful term. ___________ THE SPANISH CLUB Officers: President—William Perry Vice-President—Miss Eva s Secretary—Sidney Bluinbcrg At a recent meeting of the Spanish Club Mr. Crosse was the speaker of the day. When he was in Spain last summer. Mr. Crosse witness- ed a bull fight in Barcelona. He was there- fore in a position to give the members a very vivid description of the fight. The talk was illustrated by pictures. Mr. Zwicbcl characterized it as a bully talk.” The club has hopes of arranging for many more such interesting meetings. It trusts that all members will stand back of it and give it their whole-hearted support. It is only through such meetings and programs that a great deal about Spain and Spanish-America can be learned. _________ CERCLE FRANCAISE President—Julia Clements Vice-President—Eleanor Reynolds Treasurer—Mr. Crosse Secretary—Philip Freda The French Circle which has always been a progressive organization has not been work- ing up to its standard this term. This is due to the lack of interest the students show in it. If we were to invite prominent French men to come and talk to us, we should want large audiences to attend the meetings and greet the visitors. However, a few interesting meetings have been held. Mr. Crosse who traveled in Europe last summer has given us several interesting talks on his trip. He has shown us pictures and lantern slides of the interesting places in France which he visited. He has even brought French cake to school and distributed it to the members of the club. Mr. Crosse has done his share in conducting the programs for the club, and now it is up to the student body to arrange interesting meetings. We have the promises of certain Frenchmen to come to the school and enter- tain us. This will give added interest to the program and no doubt increase the attendance. AFTERNOON AUDITORIUM Armistice Day was observed by the after- noon classes. Thursday, November 10, in the auditorium. Mr. Stearns introduced Mr. Charles Hedden who graduated from Barr- inger in 1908. Mr. Hedden spoke about his experiences in Russia and the near East. He also, explained the meaning of Armistice Day and America’s part in peace for the future. He certainly spoke most interestingly and I am sure was enjoyed by all. The epitaph for the “Unknown Soldier” was then read by Leonard Tushnet. In closing the school join- ed in singing the “Battle Hymn of the Re- public.” _______ CHEMISTRY CLASSES’ EXCURSION On November 3. the chemistry classes of Barringer took a trip to the Sea Board By- Products Coal Co., to become acquainted with the process of making coke, and the by-prod- ucts formed when this is produced, such as gas. ammonium sulphate and tar. Two trolley cars were especially chartered for the occasion insuring plenty of room for the large number of students that attended. When we reached the plant in Jersey City, a map of the place was shown us and a descrip- tion of the process of reducing bituminous coal to coke was presented to us. Then the THE PARTHENON party was divided into seven small groups. Each group was put under the leadership of an experienced guide. V e were shown around the plant and instructed in the various ma- chinery and methods employed. All the intri- cate details and workings of plant were de- scribed to us in a simplified manner. We are very thankful to the guides for the services rendered and the fine courtesy accord- ed us. The trip was enjoyed by all and proved to be instructive. Mr. Dumrn wishes to ex- press his gratitude to the pupils for their co- operation in making the affair a success. THE SCIENCE CLUB President—George Haight Vice-President—Elizabeth P. Mingle Secretary—Margaret Mahar. The Science Club has held its regular month- ly meeting this term and has made them ex- ceedingly interesting. Its programs were well arranged and taken care of. Very fine speakers who really knew their topics gave speeches and offered demonstrations. Lately movies have been shown at every meeting. The greater the number of members the better the programs can be. and the better the talent which can be had. Last year the “Liquid Air” demonstration, the best the club ever put across, was only possible on account of the large membership. All ye studes of a mechan- ical or scientific nature get behind the club. They need you and on you depends the success of the club. The meetings this year have been all very well attended, yet not half the people were members. Among numerous topics dis- cussed were “War Gases,” “Einstein Theory,” “Bermondy Theory.” “Radium,” “Madame Cure” and some demonstrations with “The Radio Telephone” and mechanical toys. Very fine movies were shown also. Some of these were “Formation of Dew and Rain.” Coal Mining,” “Electrotyping.” and “An Enemy to Beauty.” Now all come and with the help of Mr. Taylor, faculty adviser, Mr. Dumn and Mr. Noll make the coming year a greater success. ________ BARRINGER RADIO CLUB President—Rice Secretary—F rcy The Barringer Radio Club has been reorgan- ized, and meets every Wednesday in the Science Lecture Room at 1 :30. It is looking for aggressive members who mean business. Anybody interested in radio either from a practical or theoretical standpoint is welcome. The club is not an exclusive organization for those lucky enough to posses private sets of their own, but anybody really interested should come out. Several meetings have been held, and inter- esting plans for the future have been discussed. The program committee is planning to have John Ruckelshaus, an alumnus, at one of the meetings to give a practical demonstration and concert by the wireless telephone. Other in teresting speakers are expected. A. A. President—Philip Wood Vice-President—Al. Byrnes Secretary—Gordon Clark In the fall of each year the A. A. seems to take on more life and pep. This is no doubt due to football. It’s true that students take more enjoyment in football than in any other sport, yet ’tis not remarkable, for football is most interesting. This accounts for the inter- est in the A. A. at this time of the year. But why not keep up this enthusiasm all the year round? It’s a pity when Barringer baseball teams come on the field a mere handful of rooters is present in the stands to back the team. If the A. A. had a large membership all the year round we should have better sup- port. Therefore if you, studes, wish Barringer to excell in athletic activities you will have to support the A. A. It has done fine work this season and made great progress. The A. A. has produced a cheering squad, the best ever, which has a great deal to do with the success of the team. We looked to the cheering squad for good work on Thanksgiving Day. Give your heartiest support to the A. A. then excel- lence in sport will always follow. HI-Y CLUB President—Willard Cumins Vice-President—Donald Bateman Secretary—Raymond Buckelew. 12 THE PARTHENON The Barringer Hi-Y Club, formerly known as the Discussion Club is doing very nicely. Meetings are being held every Tuesday eve- ning at the Y. M. C. A. building. Quite a num- ber of students gather on these nights and discuss current topics of interest, and also the boy problems. At the close of the business meetings luncheons are served at which prom- inent business men speak on cjuestions of vital importance and great interest to young men. The club is well carrying out its purpose which is two-fold—to promote the ideals of the student body as well as the community, and to create good fellowship in the school. THALIANS President—Harlan Dc Voc. Vice-President—Eleanor Reynolds Secretary—Kathryn Elkins. The Thalians are the dramatic organization in Barringer. Under the influential guidance of Mr. Crosse and other members of our fac- ulty, this organization has been very success- ful in all its undertakings. Many very inter- esting. amusing and educational plays have been produced. This term the Thalians intend to present a one-act play in the afternoon and three plays in the evening, the names of which have not yet been given out. In order to maintain their high reputation, the Thalians must and should be supported by everyone who considers himself a loyal Barr- ingcritc. -------- GIRL’S LEAGUE A meeting of the Girls’ League was held Tuesday, November 15, at 8:30, in the audi- torium. The meeting was opened by the new president, Dorothy Benjamin, who thanked the girls for her election to this high office. The other officers. Helen Stevens, vice-president; Helen Clements, recording secretary; Frances Clark, corresponding secretary and Marjorie Chapman, treasurer then in order all expressed their desire to fulfill their different duties to the best of their ability and also thanked the girls for the honor conferred upon them. The secretary’s and treasurer’s reports were then read and accepted. A very delightful musical program was pre- sented which was as follows; I'iano Duet .. Edna Van Duyne, Ellen Pfaff Vocal Solo ..................Hope Williams Piano Solo.....................Myrtle Loder Violin Solo............................ Miss Weiss I’iano Solo.................Edna Van Duyne The girls all did well and their efforts were certainly appreciated by all. In closing every one joined in singing the new ‘‘('.iris’ League Song,” the words and music of which were written by Ralph Reich- enthal, a graduate of Barringer, whose musical ability is known to us all. The girls thanked Mr. Reichenthal for his lovely composition. Miss Darnell announced that a prize of ten dollars would be presented to anyone who would write another satisfactory ('.iris’ League Song. The organization was started by Mrs. Po- land with the idea of bringing the girls of the school into closer comradeship and good-fel- lowship. It certainly has been most success- ful in its purpose. THE 4B-4A RECEPTION The 4B’s gave the 4A’s a reception on Thurs- day, November 10. It sure was a great suc- cess. At 2:15 a little playlet was given en- titled ‘‘The Ideal Husband.” The scene was set in a seminary of household arts. It was the last stronghold which sent forth women who knew the proper care of husbands. Of course contrary to the doctrine of the suffrag- ettes. A suffragette spy engaged as a teacher of husbandology tried to poison the minds of the innocent pupils but was unsuccessful. The farce was acted in fine style and enjoyed by all. Then the whole party retired to the gym for a dance. There the Carlton Spec- ialty Orchestra played for the dancing and the music was about the best ever had in the school. Among the specialties was a Lucky Number Contest.” won by Ralph Ricciardi and Miss Margaret Mahar. Following were a few fox trots and then a Paul Jones. Later bal- loons and noise makers were distributed, much to the approval of everyone. At 4:15 refresh- ments were served. Later in the afternoon a clown dance was given by Miss Edna Frev- ling. The dance ended a 5 :20 and was thought bv all to be a grand success. THE PARTHENON H did Do you irL'Cvt. h Si wi ?

Why, athletic, of course! Such is Edna. But athletics is not the whole thing in Bar- tinger as Edna realized. Therefore she joined the Science Club, French Circle and was a member of the Parthenon Board. She was also prominent on the IB Reception Com- mittee and 4B Social Committee.

Undecided “Wit, love, and beauty in her person shine.” Jean’s nickname is certainly appropriate as she is always bubbling over with some witty remark. Even when she is told by a teacher that she is due for detention on account of her eternal tardiness she is the same pleasant Jean. But we are sure it was not “Bubbles’” tardiness but her many loving characteristics which got her into the («iris' Patriotic League, IB Reception Committee, Alumnae Committee, 4A Entertainment Committee, Parthenon.

Frey, Eugene— Genie”...........................C. P. French 89 Third Avenue...................... Rutgers “Poor, poor lad, he seems overworked.” One of the great wonders of Barringer is to decide whether Genic” is going to cry or not when he flunks a test. He has what one calls a serious sense of humor. Anyhow he doesn’t lack school spirit because he belonged to the French Circle, Science Club. Radio Club. Senior Acropolis Board, 1 B Reception Committee and the 4A So- cial Committee. THE PARTHENON 21 Garfola, Jerry—“Peg” General French 152 Seventh Avenue West Point “The dun deer’s hide, On fleeter limbs was never tied.” Little need be said about Jerry for we all know him, and lie certainly is a pleasant fellow to know.

John worked for the success of the Senior Minstrel also. Hart. Gordon— Nut”.........................C. P. French 336 Parker Street .....................Rutgers “And wisely tell what hour of day.

Some other of her activities arc IB Reception Committee, Motto Committee, Chairman of Commencement Committee, New- wark Day Committee, Politeness Campaign.

Why aren’t they all contented like me?” Almeda!—What is there to say about this bob-haired young lady? More than can be said just now. She has tried to follow the example of her friend, Ruth Soden, but has been unable to keep the pace. That is, once in a while she is in school on time.—perhaps by accident. She does, however, have good qualities and is very popular. IB En- tertainment Committee, Parthenon Board, Class Day Com- mittee, 4A Minstrel. Sigma Tau Alpha.

Facts cannot deny it. argument cannot change and everyone knows it. Even Oysters himself admits it. We. therefore cannot go against irrefutable evidence and the truth must be dis- closed.

J. Bryan Soap box orator 40 THE PARTHENON To allow the illustrious Class of January ’22 to go forth into the great wide world, with- out giving the remaining students of R. H. S. some the important and epoch-making facts about the class.' would be a misdemeanor. Therefore the editors wish to announce that a vast collection of facts has been gathered and published in the famous book. “Statistics of the Class of January ’22” (Alldavanne O’Page, Publisher) which has been compiled by Pro- fessors La Frommage. La Noix and Blattfuss of the University of Bones, School of Statistics. In assembling these statistics, the professors have put to valuable use zoology. Calculus, Physics. Chemistry, Astronomy. Trigonome- try. Plane and Solid Geometry and Algebra. The authors gratefully acknowledge their in- debtness to Doctors Haulenbeek and Losee for their co-operation in the task of compiling the information. The Professors, in their research, have dis- covered that if the members of the class stood upright on each other’s shoulders, they would tower to the astonishing height of 401 feet 2 1-16 inches. It is estimated that a human ladder could be formed which might, some ‘lay. (provided Miss Semon, SifT and Wolfe grew an inch or two) equal the height of the Woolworth Building. If the whole class assembled on a gigantic balance, a weight of 9.393 pounds would be necessary to counter-poise them. This is ap- proximately the weight of three infant ele phants. If, however, the fiendish idea of shov- ing off the renowned Sichel. should pop into someone’s head, but two elephants would be needed to counter-balance the class. The professors, who arc well versed in client istry. have found that the class is composed of hot air and marble. The formula would be: 02 (heated) -f- Ca CO,=The Class of Jan- uary ’22. So far, this is the most certain con- clusion the professors have arrived at concern- ing the composition of the class, although they are now working on a theory which would prove that there is another substance in com- bination. During their stay at Barringer, the members of this class swallowed on the average of 967,- 491.650.057.101.985.067.776,499,759.177.999.000.- 000.000.000.000 of microbes. This means that in one hour they took into their interiors 3.785,- 109.654.288.739 973.000.000.000.000.000. and that Miss Bishop, who seldom opens her mouth, in one second ridded the atmosphere and humanity of 119.761.328.579.280.942.000,- 008 invisible visitors. Of the total number 560.194.750.101.000 were of the Staphylococci species. 780.900.156.888.976.000.000.000.801.766 were of the Ophidomonasauquinea and the rest were of the Saprophytes species. If all these microbes opened their mouths at once, they could easily have swallowed, in one gulp, the members of this class. Since, however, the THE PARTHENON 41 class has, with difficulty, escaped front the jaws of these creatures, the members of the Class of January '22 are well able to recommend to the Class of June '22 (for their better protec- tion ) the purchase of muzzles for the microbes. Also, while absorbing these germs, these sev- enty-five wonderful machinarics each inhaled 917.761.492.178.918.611.091.000. 000 cubic centi- meters of air within the walls of the school. 'Phis volume of air would inflate, to the proper pressure, 119.651 tires of the Ford variety and only 52,795 of the Fierce-Sparrow size. Thus, if any member of the class instead of attend- ing school had taken a job at a garage blowing up tires with his mouth, he would have in- flated many tires, and earned the modest sum of $14,981.47. Since approximately 20 per cent, of the air is oxygen, it was found that each member of this Class inhaled 183.552,098,- 035.783.722.218.000. 000 cubic centimeters of oxygen. To replace the total amount breathed in by the whole class, would take Mr. Dumm with the aid of such able chemists as English, Guss, Hammond and Lcfkowitz, 119708.782,- 964.485days (24 hours per day, 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute) with the use of 961.287.087.911.843.137.184.868 tons of copper oxide and $842.632.921.37 worth of heat. Have the members of the Class of January '22 been lazy? Indeed not! It has been dis- covered, much to the amazement of the Pro- fessors that these persons were very energetic in helping the candy and lunch room authori- ties see to it that at 12:45 P. M.. the shelves and supboards should be bare. $10,870.10 is the sum spent for confectionary dainties, while $42,610.32 was spent for lunches. The num- ber of beans devoured by the famished stu- dents of this Class is 779-668.541.093. These figures will prove that the members of this interesting Class were not inactive physically! Here again we must mention Sichel and add to the list Miss Edelstcin, Miss Doyle. Ro- tunda and Baldwin, whose capacity in this re- spect is phenomenal. If all the chewing gum, masticated by the members of this famous group, were collected a huge ball would be formed, the size of a steam roller and the weight of six flivvers. If, on the other hand, this gum should be stretch- ed along the tracks of the D. L. W . Railroad from the Newark station on Broad street, it would extend all the way to Hoboken and there would be enough left over to supply, for a week, all the street urchins, newsboys and bootblacks of that fair city. In this held of endeavor Garfola and Cohen have been espe- cially active. Be it cold or warm weather, the Pretzel Man is always camped on the outskirts of B. II. S. at noon. He told the Professors that he has had various patrons, but that he is always sure of one. Frey has not passed a day when he has not owned and done away with at least six pretzels while lie was at Barringer. If all the 4.560 pretzels Frey has devoured were fas- tened into one large wheel, by hair nets, a wheel would be made to equal the size of the Ferris Wheel at Olympic Park. It is interesting to note that all the books ever read or studied (?). all the papers and note books ever scrawled upon by the students soon to bid adieu to B. H. S., would form a pile which would tower high into the sky. one- eighth of the distance to the moon. If the pages were torn from the books and strewn with the papers on the ground, the whole of Harrison would be covered. All the pencils used, if laid end to end. would form a line which would surround the school building. All the chalk dust, ground upon the board by weary students, would form a massive mound so large that it would take 5.000 ants, working continually. 150 years to remove the dust. It has been discovered (with much difficulty) that the scholars of January '22, were very in- dustrious. Actually 3,331 gallons of midnight oil has been burned by these ambitious stu- dents. Read, alone, burned 291 gallons, and Hart 151 gallons. Mosquitoes, to the number of 154.977.493. could be exterminated by the total amount of oil used. These students have spent an average of 285.000 hours at school. Any one. who have ever attended school, will understand that these hours were spent in dili- gent application to the business at hand. Miss Bishop and Wolfe will testify that very often their brains were sorely taxed, and that each was. at least twice. on the verge of brain fever. It is estimated that 5.899 gallons, 2 quarts and 1 pint of tears were shed by an audience 42 THE PARTHENON which gazed spellbound at Kathryn Elkins, as she wept in one of her dramatic roles. Many persons would he astonished if they attempted to realize the number of times Ruth Soden tossed her brown locks. The Professors have found that, on an average, each strand of hair was moved from its former position, 97 times per hour. Speaking of hair—Lefkowitz tells us that he visited the Tonsorial Parlors actually three times a year, and that he can even specify the exact dates: St. Patrick’s Day, Fourth of July and Hallowe'en. The total number of hairs (of various lengths) cut off, is 769,854,972,899,233.632. We have been able to discover this enormous number, through the aid of a well known mattress maker, who filled one mattress with Bernard’s shorn locks. It is a well known fact that, very often, mu- sic has the power of making good characters of bad ones. The Professors have found that Elsky, the great musician, while allowing his emotions to soar to the same pitch as his violin, has reformed 897 persons in his audi- ence. The Professors have discovered, also, that Domonkos, alone, has used the dictionary 792 times and the encyclopedia 1,089 times. No wonder Room 33 needs a new distionary! In their study of human nature, as embodied in the Class, the Professors have discovered that the boys are as proud of their new t.lothes as the girls. To prove this, the learned gentle- men give the example of one Resnick, who re- cently attached to his personal belongings, a brown sweater. Benny has admired his new vesture approximately 32 times in a day in tV presence of any one who cared to listen oi otherwise. But here we must stop with our statistics. Not that our supply is exhausted; oh, no! We still have hundreds of facts, concerning this famous Class, which we will be glad to furnish upon request. We have omitted, from our list, the most interesting figure of the number of ticks each clock made since the OneBce-hood of this Class; the number of miles each clock hand covered as it continued its endless path around the dial, (these figures arc quite var- iable, as many of the venerable wall pieces” that adorn the class rooms are often inactive) ; the number of times the bells aroused drowsy students from the monotony of their recitation rooms, or freed other poor wretches struggling along on some Latin translation, or trying to expound some difficult principle of mathema- tics. Physics or Chemistry or the like. Then too, we have omitted the amount of money spent in book fines, eraser fines, etc., and the number of eraser fights and pupils engaged, along with scores of other facts. Our reason for this omission is not to keep anything back from the readers, (far be it from that!) but rather to save space. If the reader, thirsty for more knowledge of the Class of January ’22. will write to us. asking for information, we shall gladly forward the missing statistics. CLASS SONG OF ’22 Oh, Barringer, ’tis our delight To sing to you with all our might. And as we are about to leave We cannot help but greatly grieve. For all we have we owe to you, Your stately halls and colors, too. And though at times we .acted queer. We’ll always stop and give a cheer. For ’tis to Barringer we’ll be true. Our good old white and blue. So here’s to you and all you gave, Your colors fair that o’er us wave. —Almeda Hopler. THE PARTHENON 43 THE EAST ORANGE GAME Mud. slime, clouds, mist, and wet rain were what everyone found at Ashland Oval on the morning of Thanksgiving Day. This, how- ever did not seem to keep anyone away for there seemed to he more people there than ever before. The cars were parked for blocks in every direction, and this with the crowded new stadium gave the contest much the appear- ance of a college game. The game was only about one minute old when Barringer made a touchdown. The B. H. S. cheering squad went wild and gave many good samples of what their training had done for them. This was how it happened. Captain Thuni won the “toss” and chose to receive the pig- skin. East Orange kicked the ball to the Ridge street warriors who immediately punted it back. Failing of East Orange, attempted to catch it but fumbled. Avallone scooped up the ball and safely passing the E. O. Captain, ran 25 yards to the first add only score that Barringer made. Woerner missed the goal, but more than made up for it later by his ex- cellent punting. This start put fight into the Blue and Whites and their gameness and pep were outstanding features of the game. Neither team scored anything further until the last quarter when the Blue and Red warriors scored their two deciding touchdowns. Then scored the first one by straight old-fashioned line plunging. Bayless was the shining light in this advance and finally after making gain after gain tor E. O. he pushed the ball over the line. Leigh, center, kicked the goal. Almost immediately after the next kick-otl East Orange was again hovering around the Blue and White goal posts. It was on about the two-yard line that Barringer took a new grip and held for downs. Quarterback Byrnes, who handled the team in tip-top fashion tried one play around end and then dropped back for a punt. Here the breaks were against him. East Orange broke through the line, blocked Avallonc’s kick and Rowe catching the ball made the second touch- down. Leigh again kicked the goal. From then on to the end of the game neither team came near scoring. Both teams made touchdowns which did not count. While attempting to catch a fair catch” Wiebe, of Barringer, was bumped into and fumbled the ball. Taylor, of East Orange, immediately picked up the ball and ran to a touchdown. This was not counted and E. O. was penal- ized 15 yards for interfering with opportunity to make a fair catch.” A few minutes later A1 Byrnes made one of the prettiest and most spectacular runs that had ever been witnessed at the oval. He received the ball on the fifty yard line and zig-zagged through the entire East Orange team, being finally tackled, just as fell over the line. This score did not count cither because of “Itolding” by one of the B. H. S. men, and the Blue and White were pen- alized 15 yards. 44 THE PARTHENON Throughout the game the interest did not lag for a moment. The fans’ yelled so much that it took many of them over a week to re- cover their voices. Considering held and weather conditions both teams made a fine showing and the best team won.

BARRINGER TRIMS MONTCLAIR The Barringer Hign School football team, playing in its best form of the season, easily defeated Montclair High. Saturday, November 12th, at the Montclair Athletic Club grounds, by the score of 13 to 0. This victory placed the Newark boys in the running for the cham- pionship of the New Jersey Interscholastic League and the game with East Orange High decided the issue on Thanksgiving Day. The Blue and Whites took advantage of every opportunity, and there was never a time when the Mountaineers had the ball in the Newark team’s territory. In the early stages of the game. Byrne took the ball over the line on the fourth down, but Referee Bates would not al- low it because he claimed that the ball was pushed over after he was downed. In the second quarter Barringer booted the ball into the opponents’ territory. The pill touched a Montclair player and Townley dove upon it. After a few line plunges by Byrnes and Ciccone, Avallone took the ball over for the first official score. Captain Thum kicked the goal. In the third quarter. Bvrns ripped around right end for fifty yards, going over the line for another touchdown which was not granted because the referee said that he went out of bounds. But in the last quarter Bar- ringer made their second official tally, when Ayres who was playing right end. intercepted one of Montclair’s forwards on the twenty-five yard line and sped down the field with the help of Rip” Townley’s interference for a touch- down. Captain Thum missed the goal. Ayres, who was not allowed to play early in the season owing to parental objection, was the feature of the game, outside of making that long spectacular run for a touchdown, he broke up many passes and was in every play. At this stage of the game Coach I’ritchard introduced a few substitutions who proved capable of holding the Montclair eleven. Byrnes and Ciccone played a bang up game in the hackfield while Captain Thum. Harris and Woerner stood out on the line for Bar- ringer. Roll and Cousins featured for the Mountaineers.

BARRINGER DRAWS WITH PATERSON Barringer opened its football season on Oc- tober 1st, by playing a scoreless tie with the Paterson High eleven, at City Field. The Barringer team, although greatly out- weighed, played a line brand of football, on the offense as well as the defense. The Bar- ringerites were in danger more than once of having their line crossed, but managed to re- gain the pill after the frequent fumbling of the Silk City boys. In the latter part of the game the Blue and Whites were always in their opponents terri- tory, but were unable to get near the uprights. BARRINGER DEFEATS PHILLIPSBURG On October 8th, the Barringer eleven de- feated the Phillipsburg High aggregation by the score of 6 to 0. The team showed a greater improvement and fighting spirit than in its opening game. The field was slow and muddy the game being played in a drizzling rain. The ball was difficult to handle, being wet and covered with mtad, therefore both teams had to resort to line bucking. Barringer scored its touchdown in the third quarter, when one of our half backs skidded around right end for twenty-five yards. Cap- tain Kurt Thum missed the goal. BARRINGER FALLS TO CENTRAL For the second year in succession Central High’s football eleven defeated Barringer High in a city league contest at City Field. 14-0 on October 22nd. Although Barringer lost this game, it won the attention of its and other followers. The Ridge Streeters showed the old Barringer fighting spirit throughout the game. The Branch Brook aggregation was minus the ser- vices of Captain Kurt “Squirt” Thum. “Red” Wocrner. “Doc” Malanga. “Scotch” Byrns and “Chink” Sturr. The Pritchard squad gave the Schneider crew quite a dubbing in the first half. Barringer even threatened to score during this half. At one time the Vale blue jerseys had the ball on Central’s fifteen-yard line but could not go through, so Wiebe fell back for a drop-kick but his attempt was wide. In the second halt Woerner ran the ball back to his forty yard line on the kick off. Central netted a first down on four plunges and then Helbig heaved the pill to Coplan who was on the Ridge Streeters twenty-five yard line. Wiebe interfered with the catcher in an at- tempt to snap the ball while in the air, so the pass was allowed. Barringer held them here for downs and kicked out of danger. A con- tinuous line plunging netted three first downs, Kelly then fell over the line for the first touch- down. Captain Gieske kicked the goal. The last quarter was practically a revision of the third with Helbig starring by his end runs, which finally resulted in another score. Gieske again kicked the goal. Hopkins and Ciccone showed best for the Barringer backfield while Harris, Matthcs, and Lemongcllo showed class on the line. For Central Helbig. Kelly. Woerner and Gieske starred. BARRINGER DEFEATS DICKINSON. Roepke’s miss of the goal from touchdown resulted in the Dickinson High School eleven, of Jersey City, suffering a 7 to 6 defeat, Satur- day morning. October 29th. at City Field, in the first New Jersey Interscholastic game of the season, at the hands of the Barringer High gridders. In the second quarter. Tompkins, Dickin- son left half back, took the ball over for a touchdown, but Roepke missed the goal. In the same period the ball was passed to Doc Malanga apparently to throw a forward. The Barrangerites moved to the left of the field, with the exception of Malanga. and the whole Jersey City eleven moved over with the local team to block the pass. Malanga then dashed around right end for the lone touchdown be- fore any one knew what had happened. Cap- tain Kurt “Squirt” Thum kicked the pigskin between the uprights for the tally which prov- ed to be the winning point. In the second half Barringer showed to the 46 THE PARTHENON fore with an opportunity for another score but Quarterback VYicbc used poor judgment in trying a drop kick which went wide. BARRINGER DOWNS SOUTH SIDE The Barringer High eleven showed them- selves superior to the South Side aggregation on Saturday, November 5th. when they out- scored the Sunnysiders 13 to 7. Barringer scored in the first quarter when Ciccone took the ball over from the 3-yard line, after Wiebes’ 40-yard run around, left end. from a fake kick formation, and Malanga’s line plung- ing. Woerncr, who has for the first time this season in a game being kept out of the previ- ous fracases because of a fractured clavicle, kicked the goal. The second quarter opened with Barringer in possession of the ball on its own 20-yard line. The “Blue and Whites” kicked and re- covered the ball on the “Gold and Blacks” 40- ard line after Stern had fumbled. Then Wiebe and Malanga each ripped about twenty yards on end runs. Ciccone then took the ball over for the second score, from the one yard line, after the pill was brought there by the line bucking of Malanga. Woerner missed the goal. South Side scored in the last quarter by means of two forward passes. Thompson to . Klein, netting about thirty yards, bringing the ball on Barringers’ 10-vard line. They gained seven yards on line bucking and on the last down Thompson took the ball over with ease from the three-yard line. Seidman kicked the goal. JERRY GARFOLA Garfola. the Barringer Bullet, is the best sprinter in Barringer today. He may be said to be the best sprinter in local high schools. Beginning his career in 1919. Jerry had to be contended with a birth on the scrub team. In 1920 after hard training he won the Junior sprint championship of the city and of the N. J. I. League, thereby winning for himself a birth on the famous 1920 Track Team which won the National Championship. The follow- ing year since Barringer was not represented by an indoor track team Jerry entered the A. A. U. It was while running in A. A. U. meets that Jerry won the title The Barringer Bul- let.” The call for outdoor candidates found Jerry ready to give Barringer his best. At the city meet he proved to be the largest point getter for the team scoring a first and a second in the two events in which he was entered. He was also the lead-off man on the relay team which romped away to an easy victory. In the X. J. 1. meet Jerry strained a tendon which put him out for the rest of the season, but it is likely that Jerry will be there this indoor season to prove that Barringer is the place where McKitns are developed. THE OMELETTES Most of the setbacks of the football team this season may be traced to the fact that Coach Pritchard has no dependable men to take the places of those regulars who arc unable to play because of major injuries. In order to overcome this handicap Mr. Fields issued his call for the Omelettes. Between seventy-five and eighty men responded to the call. The team is composed of sophs and jun- iors who are unable to try for the varsity be- cause of studies or because of lack of experi- ence to obtain a varsity berth. The Omelette team should prove a great aid to Mr. Pritchard in developing future teams. Now, instead of cutting down the squad as was formerly done the men are sent to Omel- ettes for seasoning. With this wonderful co- operation from the Omelettes it is hoped that somewhat seasoned timbers may always be on hand to strengthen and supplement the regu- lars. _______ FRESHMEN FOOTBALL. The freshmen football team is organized on the same basis as the Omelettes. Because of our double session Mr. Pritichard has been un- able to receive candidates from the freshmen class. This is rather a handicap fas the fel- low who begins athletics in his freshman year generally makes good in his third year) but Mr. Fields has come to the rescue by starting the freshmen football team. THE PARTHENON 49 METEMPSYCHOSIS One day, being full of the spirit of adventure, I wandered into a hall where a learned profes- sor was demonstrating the mysteries of mes- merism. No doubt my dark skin and bright eyes marked me as a person of highly nervous temperament, for the mesmerist picked me out in a moment, and fixed his eyes upon me. Slowly and surely I felt myself impelled to- ward the platform, and once there he proceeded to throw me into a trance. At first I could not realize who or where I was. but some power, until now latent, seemed to tell me that I was a reincarnation of my former self and that this man who stood be- fore me was no less than the great philosopher Pythagoras. My musing was soon at an end, however, for the learned man addressed me in softest accents, Friend, know you that you arc in Athens and that the time is 537, six months and two days B. C.FKnow you that I am the great philosopher Pythagoras who taught metemphychosis or the transmigration of souls? Know you that the soul is immortal and takes on many different forms, being sometimes an animal and sometimes a human being? So saying Pythagoras took my arm and offered to show me the sights of tiie city. So we started out. down the street, and the first thing that I noted of interest was a group of slaves. They were very scantily attired, but they sang blithely as they worked. Py- thagoras informed me that they would soon form a chorus called the Glee Club. Knowing nothing better to do, I asked their names, and they answered Barra. Spann. Russoman and Rotunda. Then we left this singing group and came to an outdoor school. This was con- ducted by Domonkos, the wise man. Foremost among his pupils was Minerva, who afterward became goddess of wisdom, as a result of his teachings. Some other of his pupils were Denholtz, Frazer and Fitzsimmons. His first assistant was Wolfe. Then we passed a beautiful residence where lived Lady Benjamin. It is said that only Cleopatra came anywhere near being her equal in later ages. Her Major Domo greatly re- sembled Harlan De Voc, who harmoniously directed the affairs of her household. Among her other slaves were Townlcy, who guarded the treasure room, and Eleanor Reynolds, who recorded their deeds in history. Her position was one of difficulty as she had to carve her notes in stone. Her chief chisel sharpener was Anne Bishop. Nearby dwelt a distinguished writer of the day by the name of Metcalfe, who had written three books upon the study and value of Latin. His secretary was Gordon Hart, who was writing the notes for the trans- lation. But this young man required three assistant in his work. They were Jeanne Eng- lish, Josephine Megaro and Rose Tronalonc. I noticed that he was the only one who pre- ferred female help. Further on we noticed a large majestic building, set far back. Pythagoras told us that we would see something interesting there, and so it proved. On entering the building we noticed a number of boys and girls dancing. The imported orchestra was composed of a number of Africans, playing “kazashlas,” in- struments invented by a great inventor named 50 THE PARTHENON SaIzmail, who got the idea for them from the great composer, Caprio. The selection thai the orchestra was playing as we entered was “Dar whismakallno,” which was composed by this very Caprio. On the floor, gracefully glid- ing about, doing the “Zwiebach Roll,” we saw Hart and Rissell, Ayres and Lawshe. and Hass and Davis. The first two named were being rather noisily coached in the gentle art. by Frey, who was said to have taught Terp- sichore, herself. The music was dreamy and entrancing, but Pythagoras soon led us away. Xext to this building was a low and gloomy hut, in which we found Riccardi conspiring with Euripides (who, by the way. closely re- sembled Osterwcil), to reform the theatre of Dionysus of the country and alndish all com- edy and funny acts. Leaving these two in the midst of their planning, we next took the high road down to the city proper. On the way we passed a school of form diving and calis- thenics for girls, which was ably conducted by Edna Doyle. At the end of the road we were escorted to a beautiful four-horse chariot by Harris, the porter. The chariot and four was owned and driven by a handsome Greek youth who bore a great resemblance to Cohen. D'Ainbola went along as his helper, to mend harness and water the steeds when we stopped. At the end of our ride we commended Cohen on his safe (?) and expert (?) driving. We now looked around and found ourselves in the agora or business section of the city. Here were trade shops of all descriptions. Over to the right, Sickel, in his former incarnation as a stout Greek merchant, a sweet personage, conducted a candy store. We tried some of his wares but found that candy made chemi- cally was not as good as we thought. Never- theless, he did a thriving business, and sur- passed all others in presenting his wares to the public. Right across the street we found, much to our surprise, a quaint “Sappho” wine room much like our Martha Washington” tea rooms, run by Rcsnick and Levitt. When we sat down we gave our order of fresh figs and honeywine to a cute little waitress named Lena Edclstein. We entered into conversa- tion with her and learned that Samuel Starr, a gallant youth, was also serving figs at this place. He had saved her from the dutches of a gang oi ruffians who had their rendezvous at the wine shop of one Garfola of questionable character. To get back to the subject of busi- ness, we found that Hammond ran the only fruit stand in the city. He rivalled Sickel in disposing of his wares because of his great vocal ability. Campbell and Salisbury were partners in the sandal polishing business. They carried their business around with them and visited all the homes of the wealthy. Their specialty was polishing soles. Further down the street we noticed a large sign with three balls on it and the name Sta- bilo under them. On entering this establish- ment we found the proprietor, Stabilo, engaged in selling a solid gold scrubbing brush to Met- calfe. who was going to present it to Ann Bishop as a symbol of her house cleaning abil- ity. At the back of the store we noticed Myr- tle Lader. who presided over the second-hand counter. She excelled in selling lyres, flutes, citharas and harps. Hilda Semon was the cashier. Remembering Lena's mention of Garfola’s den, we urged Pythagoras to take us to this notorious place. He led us down a little side street and thence into a dark basement. Over the basement door was a strange sign with two little cubes on it. One cube had three little dots on one of its surfaces and on the other four dots. We asked Pythagoras about this sign and he replied that the sign was symbolic of Garfola’s establishment. We entered a tiny room filled with smoke. At one end was a sort of counter with a much worn brass rail running around it near the floor. We asked Pythagoras the meaning of this contrivance and he replied that it was necessary for a new sport just introduced into the city. Neverthe- less, he did not allow us to remain there long, but led us away to more educational sights. Next Pythagoras took us to the artists’ quar- ters. where he introduced us to prominent artists. Among them were Kirk and Elsky. At the present time Elsky was busy interpret- ing a new and fascinating Egyptian dance called “Oleomargarina.” It was a rather sinuous dance ami took all of Elsky’s marvel- ous powers to perform it. Mildred was en- gaged in learning to speak correct Spanish, THE PARTHENON 51 as strange to say site did not care for Greek or the Greeks at all, and was going to sail to Spain. Pythagoras thought her progress won- derful, but we failed to understand her so- called perfect conversation. As we were now quite near the river, Py- thagoras took us to view the wharves and shipping. The most interesting thing there was a great ship almost covered with pennants and flags. Pythagoras informed us that this was the ship of Commander Baldwin, the noted discoverer of the Equator, a region of intense cold. Baldwin had brought back with him perfect specimens of the races of that region. These proved to be of wonderful physical and mental strength. One greatly resembled Rodman and had been noted in his native land for his ability to play their national sport, football. This sport consisted of kick- ing an oval-shaped object as far into the sky as possible and then falling on and trying one’s best to annihilate the person who was lucky enough to catch the aerial oval. The game was played with some difficulty as the oval object often got lost in the icebergs and in some mysterious way became hard as rock and intensely cold. The other strange speci- men was a short and stocky person noted in his country for his wonderful hair of jet black hue. This personage greatly resembled our old friend Bass. We now proceeded to the public park, where we saw a group of young girls in flowing robes performing a nature dance. Louise Alberts led them, and others in the group were Ruth Krout. Gertrude Hummel, Ethel Maier, Ruth Agoa and Margaret Vanderpoel. Among the great audience watching them were Josephine Crecca, Electra Napoliello, Lena and Lillian Kizzolo. As we left this group and walked down a secluded aisle, we noticed William Perry and Melita Ahl sitting together on a bench. She was drawing pictures of her com- panion and he was setting to music some poetry in her honor. The poetry had been written by Marjorie Chapman and Alice Hod- son, flourishing young authoresses of the day. Further down this aisle we came upon two worthies named Read and Padula in the intent pursuance of a game called African golf, as Pythagoras explained. Evidently they did not wish us as an audience for they rather hastily discontinued their pastime and went ofT to a more secluded section. We visited the Alexandrian library next. Here we found Pomeroy, the librarian, dili- gently studying some newly arrived tablets on the subject of the new language, Assyrian. These tablets had been carved by the noted Professor Reynolds, who was best known as a teacher of correct inflection and pronunciation. She surpassed all other scholars in her speech and unique accent. To reach the city square we passed through Lcfcobrock Alley, named after those noted French students Lefkowitz and Brocklcbank. In the square we stopped to hear the impas- sioned appeal of Saul Siff for kindness to ani- mals. It might be remarked here that he was also the leader in the movement to establish hospitals for squirrels and goldfish. Among his audience were Stein, Scnerchia and Ruth Soden. We now traveled to the other side of the city and visited the orphan asylum. This institution was thriving wonderfully with Ethel Reichen- thal in the director's chair and Miss Carlucci as her assistant. Across the street was the public school, where Kathryn Elkins taught the little ones their three G’s, Greek, geometry and golf. A few doors away was the Rohn School of Silence. To this school came some of the people mentioned above, such as Frey, Ham- mond. Sichel, Hopler and Yadkowsky, etc. Dora Guss was the star pupil. Pythagoras told us. much to our regret, that we had now seen the whole city, been in every place of interest, and had seen the interesting people of the city. However, he told us that the founders and guardians of this city ha 1 long been dead and had been immortalized. He showed us their statues and we were speechless with surprise, for there before us. carved in marble, were the well-remembered features of our old teachers. Mr. Ilaulenbeek and Mr. Loree. When we spoke of the simi- larity to Pythagoras, he smiled mysteriously and shook his head wisely. Thus our sight- seeing trip ended. We may never have an- other opportunity to see that remarkable city, but we shall never forget it. 52 THE PARTHENON SOME RURAL ROOMINATIONS John Blunt Opines. Ever since 1 come down to Newark from Succasunna. I like to set on a desk and let my legs hang over. Seems almost as good as the old cracker barrel up to Knowles's Grocery and Merchandise Emporium. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All play and no work makes Jack a jack— (deleted by censor). We’ll say the 4B’s gave us an awfully good show and a fine dance. The most popular feature was the squawkv balloons. Next year they are going to have rattles for the boys and rubber dolls for the girls, it is stated. Some folks up our way used to object to dancin’, but they aint got a word to say now, ’cause there aint any more dancin’ nowadays, only walking backwards to more or less music, principally less. Rip Townlcv, our genial treasurer, says promisin’ young fellers is all right in a way, but payin’ ones is better. Rip didn’t promise much when he went out for football but he’s payin’ Coach Pritchard for the trouble of train- in’ him. all right. If Kaddie makes that blond haystack of hern any bigger, they can put her on the statue of Liberty and save the cost of electric juice. Last summer, Harlan and Bob started out to work for the circus, but the giraffe got jeal- ous and went off his feed, so they lost their job. Some of the girls that’s pretty free with the fellers seem to be havin’ a good time now, but they’re likely to wind up with a pussy cat and a knittin’ bag. Real fellers don’t go gunnin’ for easy game. Electra is a grand dictionary sort of name, but she lives up to it in line style. She don’t go around lookin’ like Mary Pickwad or The- atre Bara, but she’s just “Goodness.” Ask Vince if she aint. If giggles was worth a dollar a yard. Rose and Hilda would soon be drivin’ their own Packard. All our teachers think their owh subject i. the most important in school. That’s win- some of us spend so much time makin’ up our mind which to do that we don’t do any. We can’t ever get over wonderin’ how Pep Read ever got to be a 4A. We want to humbly suggested that Anne go to college down to Rutger’s Girl’s Annex. We hear there’s a lot of R’s floatin’ around down there and she don’t seem to have any. That is to say of course in her pronunciation. We once saw the two Josephines sitting on the beach with a row of clams in front of them. They was givin’ the clams lessons in kcepin’ quiet. Lena and Lil and Lou all admit that Riz- zolo is Eyetalian for Cohen and they both mean Smith in English. Jess's name used to be Jacob. If it was me. I’d rather be named after a patriarch than a prizefighter, but some folks always wants THE PARTHENON 53 something nexv fangled. Same way with Dohra. One day Miss Skidmore came up to 91 look- in’ for Irma Domokos.” saying she had a fme job for someone to tend a baby after school. We think Irma would look cute as anything in a cap and apron wheelin’ a baby carriage. We must admit thought that he’s a real boy and will make a real man. Almeda got to school on time one day last month, but Fit , aint accomplished that feat yet. I know a feller that was in France with the lnginecrs and he said he once asked a French- man if he’d have a drink of water. The Frenchie said Xo. he’d tasted water once but didn’t like it. Same way with Saul, he smiled once and hurt his jaw. so he wont try it again. Bobbed hair is all the style now and the only farther step is old-fashioned “shingle style.” Then it’ll be time to use the shingle somewhere else. We want to know who loaded the cares of the whole world on the shoulders of Herbie Kohn. That was a mean trick to play on a little feller like him. Ours is the first class in a dog’s «age to have two old bachelors for homeroom teachers. They’re a pair of wise owls, we admit. F'red Spann would look smarter if he’d have his hair bobbed or get a marcel wave or some- thing. You’d oughta been at the 4B play and seen the girls set up when they started to bring in the ideal husband. I callatc they was kinder disappinted. When our vigorous business manager got to the photygrafters’, they bad to pull the camera clear over to the other side of the room to get him on the plate. All right for you Barn- yard, you’ll never slip through a crack in the floor. Jean says some day she’s going to write a book entitled. “My Tribulations with a Clifton Car.” Just for old times’ sake, the price is goin’ to be fifty-one cents. Just the same vou’ve got to give Jean credit for not losin’ her temper. She alius keeps sweet. Gordon thinks Vergil ought to have been more careful to get his science lessons; then be wouldn’t have water runnin’ off of Atlas’s chin when his beard was stiff with ice. ctcetery, ctcetery. Gordon is a sharp one all right. He'll be a lawyer when he grows up. Once when we lived up on the third floor, somebody saw M. K. standin’ at the door of room 94 and makin’ eyes at the skeleton they keep in there. She said she didn’t know if it was a man or a woman, but she did hope it was a man. At that she aint the only one in the class that ought to wear blinders. THE FAR FAMED SKELLY ROTUNDA while vuiting hi� old school in 1940, pautc� a moment for the camera man.

You, for instance, may be deeply interested in a charity to which you would like to leave a substantial legacy. But at the same time you may feel that in doing so you would be depriving your family of money that is properly theirs. A life insurance policy nominating the charity as your beneficiary will solve the problem for you, and you may pay for the policy on easy terms. Let us tell you more about it.
