Now, standing on the threshold of life, Rf 322-3 we pause to look back over our high school career with a certain feeling of . . .3 '1.1 regret at leaving the scene of so many happy memories of never-to-be-for- gotten days. We have seen many changes take place since our Freshman days 3 we have witnessed an almost unbelievable improvement in every phase of our school life. The class of 1927 has tried to do its share in making Berwick High School bigger and better. When we entered high shcool in 1923, there were two hundred nineteen of us. Perhaps we merited the term green which was applied to us by the upper classrnen, but we possessed from the beginning the enthusiasm and initiative which has had its expression in all of our activities. The outstanding social event of our Freshman year was a Valentine Party, given at the High School Building. A minstrel, readings, and musical numbers comprised an interesting program. In athletics we showed remarkable progress for just Freshies , with three boys on the football squad, and five boys and three girls on the two basketball squads. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, the class enrollment was somewhat decreased, but we still numbered one hundred thirty-seven. As Sophomores, we were social failures, it must be confessed, but we may attribute the neglect of social affairs to an overpowering desire to prove to the faculty that our class was, in truth, a group of unusually diligent scholars. Again, we shone in athletics, with a still more remarkable representation of eight boys on the football squad, six on the basketball squad, and eight girls on the girls' basketball squad. At last our inexperienced days were over, and we entered our Junior year Septemf ber 8, 1925, with one hundred two members. Early in the year the class was organized, and a meeting called for the choosing of a motto and class colors. After much discussion, B-ys Sz B-square was chosen as our motto, while blue and silver became the class colors. Soon an order was placed for pennants, shields, and the large banner which the class has bequeathed to the future classes of the B. H. S. The climax of our Junior career was reached when we entertained the Seniors and Faculty at an elaborate banquet given at West Side Parkg the place was artisti- cally decorated with the pennants of both classes, and their class colors, blue and silver for the Juniors, and cherry and blue for the Seniors. At each place an attractive favor by which to remember the occasion. After the banquet, the Keystone Serenaders furnished music for dancing. - When we returned in the fall of 1926 as Seniors, it was to enter a high school much larger, much different from that we had known for the previous three years. Everything was changed, and we entered upon a new regime in Berwick High School. Class officers were elected at once, to guide the class through the last and most eventful year of its career. Class rings were chosen a few weeks after school opened. Fourteen lllflilll rl iml SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Ccontinued J In October the Seniors were given the responsibility of publishing the Blue and White . As no publication of this type had ever before been attempted in our high school, it was a rather stupendous task. However, we rose to the occasion with a determination to succeed, and during the first semester we published the paper with at least a measure of success. Then the Senior members of the Blue and White staff devoted their journalistic ability to the Senior Annual, while the vacancies were filled by Juniors during the second semester. . The engraving contract for the Annual was signed in December. From that time until the end of the year, the Annual seemed to be the chief concern of the class, for, like the Blue and White, nothing of its kind had ever been published in Berwick High School. Since the motto chosen in our Junior year was rather difficult to translate - not because we found it impossible to live up to it - we decided to select another. The one chosen was Out of School Life into Life's School. At the same meeting, the chrysanthemum was selected as the class flower. Though social events were few in number, the two which we held were both suc- cesses. The Weenie roast held in September was well attended by the class mem- bers, and proved very sucessful. When the first big snowfall came, we went sleigh-riding to the Uzupes farm, where every one enjoyed an evening of fun. This year chapel has been conducted by three representatives of the Senior class, with Robert Nungessor as Chairman, Arline Hileman as Chaplain, and Clyde McClos- key as Sergeant-at-Arms. These officers were elected by the class, and have per- formed their duties in a very creditable manner. In conclusion, may we express the wish that we, as individuals, may enjoy the same measure of future success as we have attained in our high school days.

Maxine Warntz Motto: Out of School Life into Life's School. Class Flower: Chrysanthemum Class Colors: Blue and Silver F1 tem George Amstadt Georgie Commercial Course George, the class midget, is so small he would almost feel at home in Lilliput. How- ever, his size is no measure of his ability, for he can make things hum. b Arline Belles Billy Scientific Course Arline's modesty and quietness are well known, but you never can tell. There is a rumor abroad that she attends church every Sunday evening with a certain young man of her acquaintance Lloyd Boone B00r1ie Scientific Course Boonie has acquired the art of building the modern day music box and WAS preparing himself for a Navy Radio Operator. But alas! in his closing year at B. H. S. we have discovered one drawback--he has lost his heart to a girl. Dorothy Bower Dot Glee Club, 33 Mirror Staff, 4. Commercial Course Dot is one of our joymakers. Her merry laugh and witty replies can be heard wherever she happens to be. May you win others as you have won us. Sxxleen Wlll lml listher Boyer Pete Literary Society, 4. Commercial Course Esther, better known to her friends as Pete , came to us during our Senior year, hawing previously attended Hazleton High Lchool. Pete can manage anything from a typewriter to an alumnus. Claire Brandon Brandon Basketball, 2,3,4g Tennis Club, 3,43 Mirror Staff, Athletic Council. Scientific Course Here is one of our trusty forwards who has tossed a good many baskets for B. H. S.

Academic Course John is so much a student that he some- times can't keep from reciting while another has the floor. Girls bother him in a very slight degree, because he is an industrious man of the world who has many other things to think about. Williani Canouse Bill Glee Club, 1,2,4g Hi-Y, 2,3,4g Class Basket-' ball, 35 Mirror Staff, Secretary Hi-Y. Scientific Course Bill is another who is known for his small stature. Sophomores are his specialty, and he is often seen with a certain light- haired one. Seventeen Hill? Antoinette Carmen Tony Glee Club, 2,4g Art Club, 45 French Club, 43 Girl Reserves, 3,4. General Course Antoinette, known to all of us as Tony , is always a bit anxious to get through with her school work. Whenever she is invited to an entertainment, she refuses to go, and her only reason is that she must stay home and study her French or English Lenore Catterall Catter Glee Club, 1,2,3,4g Art Club, 43 Basketball, 33 President of Glee Club, 4. General Course Lenore is our champion loud speaker at every football and basketball game. She is also our songbird. Her voice can capture the hardest of hearts. May life be good to you, Lenore, and may fortune be with you always. Edward DeV0e Eddie', Art Club, 3,45 Glee Club, 2. General Course Eddie is an industrious linotypist who has many lofty ambitions. Though easily embarrassed, he is not exactly bashful, as our editor-in-chief testifies. Helen E. Edwards Jingle Glee Club, 1,2,3,4. Commercial Course There are few dispositions as charming as Helen's. No one ever sees her out of humor, even when her typewriter is balking. We are sure she will make a very reliable stenogra- pher for some fortunate person. Eighteen lnfrfmggf fwfl ljlmll Sara Ermish T00ts Girl Reserves, 4. Academic Course Sara is always studying, but she's a good scout when books are left behind. Touts has a particular dislike for chemistry. We wonder why. Elizabeth Eveland Teddy Art Club, 4. . General Course Teddy is well nicknamed, for she has always wished to be a boy. But she has some feminine traits, for we understand that she has a special interest in Nescopeck, and cer- tain of its inhabitants. George Fahringer George Hi-Y, 3,43 Glee Club, 43 Class Basketball, 2,3,43 Class Football, 33 Basketball squad, 43 Secretary Glee Club, 45 Manager Track, 3. Scientific Course George, the worker, saved his Vergil from the fire. He is a track man with lots of speed. Since he is liked by one and all, we know he's not doomed to failure. Leona Faust Leone Class Basketball, 2,3g Blue 8z White Staff 5 Mirror Staff, 4. Commercial Course Leona has gained a reputation as an ac- curate and competent stenographer in Ber- wick High.

At first we did not become so well ac- quainted with this quiet girl, but soon we found tsincerity 'and kindness beneath that armor of reserve. A part of the A. C. Kz F. seems interested in her, not the company, but Headley Folk Head Headley is another of those fortunate people who can keep his thoughts to himself. He is always present at Hi-Y meetings, espec- ially when the eats are served. Best wishes Madeline George Chappy Girl Reserves, 3,49 Literary Society, 43 Art Club, 3,43 Tennis Club, 3. Chappy is always an energetic committee chairman no matter what committee it may be. She is at times a mischievous flirt, but she just can't help rolling those brown eyes. Her interest in the owner of a greenxroadster is Martha is one of our artists who can both , sing sweetly and draw well. Although she is rather 'quiet, we're sure to hear from her i before many years. f' 4 Twengf Wii im Josephine Harry JO Girl Reserves, 3,43 Literary Society, 4, Mir- ror Staff, 4.

It's a good trait which will help you through life, Arline, and we wish you success. William Hines Bill Hi-Y, 35 Art Club, 3. Scientific-General Course Bill, who is our future Dr. Hines, is a very bashful boy who would rather take a licking than ask a girl to accompany him to the movies, although he is very fond of a certain Freshman. Hazel Hower Hazel Girl Reserves, 3,45 Girl's Glee Club, 2,3,4. Scientific Course We have often seen Hazel driving her Chevvy, but we couldn't understand why she sat so straight. Now we know.

Though quiet, he has the will to achieve, and should make a real success of life. Doris Johnson Deacon Girl Reserves, 3,45 Literary Society, 4, Art Club, 3 Academic Course Doris is one of our petite Seniors, how- ever, her size is no indication of her ability. She is a proof that good things come in small packages. Her nickname is very deceiving, or she is not exactly a Deacon. Theodore Kepner Pug Varsity Football, 3,4g Varsity Basketball, 2,33 Track, 3g Baseball, 1,2,3. General Course Ted is always in hot water, but he has a marvelous gift for gracefully getting out of it. He causes a certain person a lot of an- xiety, but she doesn't seem to mind it. He is one of the staunch athletes of B.fH. S.

Frances Kocher Frankie Girl Reserves, 3,43 Literary Society, 45 Blue Kz White Staff. Commercial Course Frances is one of our stenogs .

Some day he'll overcome his fear of the feminine sex, and blossom into a regular Ethel Molnar Ethel Ethel, a very quiet and studious girl, will certainly be missed by the Commercial classes when school days are over. Let's hope that in the near future, she will be Somebody's Audrey Moore M00re,' Girl Reserves, 3,4g Glee Club, 1,2,3,4g Liter- ary Society 45 Class Basketball, 3,43 Secre- tary Literary Society.

S. He is the one who put the P in pep and the Q in splrit at our football games. Nola Paden Peggy General Course N ola is friendly to everyone and is always willing to loan her vanity case. We fear greatly for her health, though, as we under- stand her heart has been lost to a certain lower classman. Harold Pursel Pursy Football, 2,3.

Thirty-six X 'U Q if ,ii THE CLASS OF '28 HE story began in early September in the year 1924. The scene :M was laid around a large red building, commonly known as Ber- Q? ??3 wick High School. Bewildered and excited personages were seen hurrying about the halls. lt could easily be seen that these characters were Freshmen, the K'babies of High School, but these babies,', numbering two hundred nineteen, played an important role in the school life. They were active, wide-awake, and filled with schodl spirit and enthusiasm. The next fall the school year began with fewer students than the previous year. The ascending action of the school career of this class-- remember the geometric diagram for plot--had now begun. The mem- bers of the class entered into the sports and activities of the school with spirit. Now we, the Freshmen of 1924, are Juniors, and have reached the highest point of interest, or the climax of our school career. A few weeks after the opening of this term, the class officers were elected. At the next meeting attractive pennants in beautiful shades of blue and gold were chosen. As to the social events of the year, a sleigh-riding party was the only one which we held. lt was well attended, and all spent an enjoy- able evening. Our class is well represented in all the athletic teams, as well as in the social clubs of the school. The school paper is now in charge of the 'lunior Class, with Ellen 'lane Blanning as Editor-in-Chief. We hope that our Senior year, the conclusion of our High School career, will be as profitable as the present year. OFFICERS President .......... ........,.. G lenn Young Vice President .... ....

Therefore, the history of the Sophomore Class must go down in writing. -G When we entered Berwick High School as freshmen, we numbered two hundred twenty-nine. That number was decreased to one hundred sixty before our Freshman days were over. ' At the beginning of our Sophomore year one hundred forty-seven Sophomores were enrolled. At present there are one hundred students bearing the name of Sophomore. Soon after the term began, we Sophomores elected our officers. A few weeks later gold and black were chosen as our class colors. When everyone had the Hsleigh-riding fever, we held a very suc- cessful sleigh-riding party. Most of us survived the mid-years, and began our second semester work without fear for the future. We are very proud of our representatives on the football and basket ball squads, and also those on the cheering staff. These few facts show progress in our school life thus far. Who knows what the future may bring forth? VVe hope that the class of '29 will be a credit to her Alma Mater. OFFICERS President ........... ......s..... ...........

Football was first -S' '75 on the program and, for the first time, the innovation of early fall practice was introduced by our new coach, A. K. Jackson, who re- placed our former mentor, J. S. MacCracken. The men were called to report one week before the opening of school, about twenty-five men reported. Many old players were miss- ing, but there were new men whose stalwart build and determined aspect argued well for the success of Berwick. Soon after school had begun, it was discovered that three men were ineligible to take part in any athletics by a ruling of the P. 1. A. A. A- mong these men was our captain and star half-back, Goodwin Klinetob. Coach jackson now turned his attention to developing a team out of green material. His system was entirely different from that of Coach lXlacCracken, so that the men who had had experience were almost as much at loss as the new men. The football season has come and gone, a season marked by a few mishaps, 'tis true, but nevertheless, a season whose memories will long be cherished by many a student of Berwick High. Our record for the season stands: Two victories, one forfeit, one tie, and four defeats. The scores and a brief summary of each game follows: B. H. S. - 6 Scranton Central - 7 The Berwick eleven fought hard and maintained a 6-O lead for three quarters, but unfortunately for us, Scranton was continually sending substitutes into the fray. In the final three minutes the fresh Scranton men pushed through the Berwick team, who had played the entire game without a substitution, for a touchdown and then kicked the goal, win- ning the game by a very narrow margin. B. H. S. - 7 West Pittston - 9 This game was scoreless until just before the end of the half, when Berwick scored its only touchdown. In the third quarter a West Pitts- ton substitute kicked a field goal, and a little later his team mates carried the ball over Berwick's goal line. B. H. S. - 7 Milton - 22 For our third game of the season we hit the trail and played the West Branch team. Although our boys put up a good fight, they were too much for us, and managed to push across three touchdowns. Fifty- One ul' +1 'll l H fl lllll I FOOTBALL REVIEW Qcontinuedl B. H. S. - 20 Bloomsburg - 12 This game with our ancient rival was the most important one of the season. At the end of the first half Bloomsburg held the lead by a score of 12-0. After the rest period the Berwick men were rarin' to go . AND THEY DID. In less than eight minutes they pushed through the Bloomsburg line for three touchdowns. B. H. S. - 7 Wilkes-Barre G. A. R. - O This game was second in importance to Bloomsburg. Though the game was not so spectacular as the one at Bloomsburg, it was a hard fought contest, and one which B. H. S. will not forget for many a day. B. H. S. - 0 Picture Rocks - 7 Though the Berwick men fought hard they could make no substan- tial gains against the mighty Picture Rocks eleven. They did well to hold them to a single touchdown. In passingfa word of commendation on the good sportsmanship of the Picture Rocks team is not out of place. B. H. S. - 1 Danville - 0 nfforfeitedj Everyone journeyed to Fowler Field, anticipating a lively contest. However, Danville came, saw, heard, argued, refused, demanded, tele- phoned, argued some more, refused again, argued still more, and finally returned to Danville. The reasons are known from here to Timbuctu. B. H. S. - 0 Forty Fort - 0 I This contest was one of many thrills. The two teams were evenly matched, and fought from one end of the field to the other, with neither gaining a decided advantage. Since both Forty Fort and Berwick failed to score, it was decided, with the approval of the officials, to call it a draw. lt would be scarcely fitting to close this resume without a word of praise to our cheering section and. their able leaders, who did their best to inspire the team to victory. Nor would we pass too lightly over that group, without which, no school may develop a winning team. They play for the love of the game, receiving very little praise and plenty of abuse -- we refer to the reserves, more commonly called the scrubs.

' L'-,i HE 1926-27 basketball season is now history. Although it was not as suc- fgi cessful as some previous seasons, Berwick need not be ashamed of its showing. There was not as keen an interest taken in basketball as we might have wished is ' until the last two games of the season which were played in our new gym- nasium. The interest displayed at these games was indeed gratifying. Had all our home games been played in the new gymnasium, we feel that the results would have been more satisfactory. As stated above, the season was not so successful as some in past years, but few basketball squads in the past have been under as great a handicap as the squad this season. Our new coach had an entirely different system from the one used in previous years. Then too, the team had irregular practices due to the fact that our gymnasium was not completed, and the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium was un- available for practice every night. In spite of all these difficulties the boys fought hard all season. The season was in many respects similar to the football season with regard to the percentage of games won, and the fact that the opening games of both sports were our hardest contests. The losing of the opening games disheartened the players and made it more difficult to win future games. As in football, the team came through with a victory when we met the Wilkes-Barre G. A. R. High School. When we entered the tournament at Bloomsburg this year, it looked as though we stood a good chance of winning. Our chances looked even better after our first game in which we downed Parsons with a high score. But alas for Berwick! The very next evening we were greatly humbled by an excellent team from Old Forge. This defeat ended our basketball activities for the season, with the exception of a post season game with the Y. M. C. A. team. We sincerely hope that the squad next season will avenge our defeats and repeat our victories. The scores of the games played follow: B. H. S. 16 Plymouth H. S. 30 B. H.

This spring, because it would have required a great deal ,l-fill' of money to purchase the equipment which was badly needed, the Athletic Council decided to drop baseball for this year at least. Many students have been under the impression that baseball was dropped due to lack of players. This, however, was not the case, base- ball has not been included in spring sports because of the lack of sup- porters. If baseball had, in the past, received the same support that football and basketball have received, we would have boasted of a team this season. They might have made as creditable a record as the team for '26 which won seven out of the nine games played. The letter men for '26 were: Reiter, lst B. Owens, C. F. Confair, 2nd B. KCI R. Seely, L. F. Kline, S. S. Shaffer, C. McHenry, 3rd B. Savidge, P. Keiper, Mgr. TRACK Miiiiii'-HQ HEN the call was issued for track candidates this year the stud- P 'T iff ents responded with much enthusiasm. Most of the candidates X- were new men with only three former letter men--Shaffer, Skum- sky, and -laffin--returning. There were a few men who had former track experience but they constituted a minority. We have had to depend, almost entirely on new material for our team. Some of these men have developed in fine form. In fact, many of them have proven to be super- ior to the older men. Though the 1926 season was not as successful as we might have wished, we won two of the four track meets in which we participated. Those who earned their letters for the 1926 season were: Russell Fahringer, '26 Nicholas Jaffin, '27 Harrison Fisher, '26 Theodore Kepner, '27 Chas. Shaffer, '28 Chas.

Now another year has rolled around, as years 4- ' V--1 will, and this season lusty cheering was inspired by a group of seven cheerleaders wearing blue and white uniforms. Letters spelling the ward Berwick were worn on the back of each leader, thus prevent- ing spectators from being in doubt as to which cheering section belonged to llerwiclc. ln addition to leading all cheering, they conducted all mass meetings, snake dances, and victory celebrations. They have done their share in spurring our teams on to victory by their untiring efforts to arouse enthusiasm among the student body. Fwy-Seven lllrllllll he-'ll il lfml l TENNIS CLUB HE Tennis Club was organized in the spring of 1925 under the direction of llliss Salem. A court was secured in liast Berwick f?3 and made ready for use by members of the club. ln March 1926, an indoor circus was presented by the club. The proceeds from this affair established a treasury with sufficient funds to put the court in good condition for the spring season. ln the spring of 1926, a tournament was held to decide the high school championship. This event was won by VVillia1n Pulen, who de- feated George Yeager in the final match. Because of the great success of our first indoor circus, another was staged by the club lllarch 12, 1927, which turned out to be equally suc- cessful in way of entertainment and proceeds.

'l'l1e primary purpose of the organization is to promote public- speaking in its different forms. Various programs of a literary and musical nature have been given throughout the year. A remarkably successful program was presented just before the Christmas vacation in place of the usual Senior Day program of previous years. .X very successful Valentine party, to which all students, faculty and alumni were invited, was staged under the direction of the society.

Sixly- One lulllll 'rr HlWl BLUE AND WHITE HIS year for the first time in its history, Berwick High has pub- Ma lished a bi-weekly, official newspaper, the Blue and White. Wi' The paper contained all news, jokes, and happenings about the school as well as editorials and meritorious short stories. During the first semester, the major positions on the staff were held by Seniors, with the Juniors as assistants. At the beginning of the second semester, in order to release the Seniors to commence work on the Annual, the paper was published by the Juniors who were promoted to the major offices. The Sophomores, in turn, became assistants. The success of the paper was even greater than had been anticipated. Charter membership in the Quill and Scroll, a national honorary soc- iety for high school journalists, was awarded the three Seniors holding the major officesg later in the year, three juniors also received member- ship. The paper was also granted charter membership to the Pennsyl- vania State Press Association. Throughout the year many changes in the staff were made.

' ' ' ' ' ff gg gg? In October the first meeting was called for reorganization. The plan pre- . sented and adopted was the unit plan, 1 e, organizing by classes Each unit met in bi-weekly sessions with one meeting a month for all groups together. The delegates to summer conference brought back many new ideas helpful in plan- ning programs for the year. A Setting-Up Conference was held at Catawissa, October 29-31, at which time the Cabinet, consisting of the officers of each unit, spent a most profitable week-end. The purpose of the conference was to select a theme for the year, plan the program, make the budget, and elect officers of the club. The theme selected was Rivers A mid-winter conference was held in Allentown, Pa., February 25-27. The delegates from the club were: Lucille Martz, Phyllis Bird, Gladys Montague, and Miss Steward. Vesper Services have been held the last Sunday of each month. At the vesper service on December 26, Misses Dorothy Gilds and Josephine Johnson were presented in a joint concert-recital at the First Methodist Church. Mrs. H. D. Althouse and Rev. C. E. Beal were speakers for other vesper services. Two joint meetings of the Hi-Y and Girl Reserve units were held for the purpose of better understanding the work of the clubs, and to discuss subjects vital to the 'welfare of the organizations. In December, Miss Adelia Stevens, Girl Reserve Secretary from Wilkes-Barre, spoke to the club on World Fellowship. At the February meeting the Sterling Quar- tette gave a concert. Mother-Daughter week was fittingly observed at the May meeting. Twenty-four girls were selected for a Girl Reserve Glee Club, which has been an aid in furnishing music for vesper services, union meetings, Mother-Daughter meetings, and all special occasions. Ethelda Young was appointed pianist and Miss Steward director. A Many acts of social service were done during the year. A few of the outstanding ones are mentioned below. At Christmas time, twenty-five dolls were dressed and distributed to poor children in Berwick, canned fruits and vegetables were given to the Salvation Army for Christmas baskets, and a group of girls sang early morning carols to the sick and shut-ins. Ten dollars was subscribed to the support of a Foreign Y. W. C. A. Secretary, ten dollars to the Community Chest. and twenty-five dollars for membership in the Y. M. C. A. A number of books were contributed to the Girl Reserve Library. We have tried faithfully to carry out our club purpose which is to promote a spirit of friendliness among the girls of Berwick High School, and to better serve Jesus, Others, and Yourself.

All the masqueraders marched before the dis- criminating eyes of the judges, Miss Strickler, Mr. Heller, and Mr. Mor- gan, who found it very difficult to award prizes. At an earlier date it had been decided to give prizes to the best dressed couple, funniest dressed group, best dressed boy, and the best dressed girl. Mr. and Mrs. Myers received the prize for the best dressed couple. Pauline Johnson, Sue Yeager and Florence Bettens received the prize for funniest dressed group. Carl Dietterick and Lenore Benoric each received a prize for being the best dressed boy and girl. The Keystone Serenaders furnished music for the dancing which followed. The Freshmen contributed their share of the entertainment by giving several special numbers. Jokes, singing, and dancing were their specialties. VALENTINE PARTY High School students, like children, still cling to the quaint custom of celebrating St. Valentine's Day. In order to fulfill their desire the Literary Society gave a Valentine Party February 16th at the Armory. After the Grand March, a contest for obtaining the greatest number of words from the word Valentine was held. Prizes were awarded to the two couples securing the most words. Following this, a short play, Hindering Cupidu, was given by some of the members of the society under the direction of Mrs. Helen Lesher Adams. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and playing cards. The music for dancing was furnished by the High School Or- chestra under the direction of Mr. Zehner. Refreshments were served by the Senior Girls. HWEENIE ROAST The Senior Class made its social debut on September 22, when the members of the class held a weenie roast at Bower's woods. A large number of Seniors left quite early for Bower's woods with the intention of spending a delightful evening toasting marshmallows and weenies. The evening was a very delightful one until the weather man intervened by sending a disheartening downpour of rain, which .interfered to such an extent that the party had to be broken up very early in the evening. However, the affair was a decided success in spite of adverse weather conditions. SIUIIIU' Two lllWlfl'6Ql'fr lflWll SOCIAL AFFAIRS SLEIGH-RIDING PARTY A heavy snowfall and much discussion among the Seniors finally re- sulted in a sleigh-riding party which was held on January 5 at the home of Helen Uzupes. Although the number of Seniors certainly constituted a minority, it did not in any way hinder them from enjoying themselves. Ned Sult was among the notable fun makers present. It is well known that he will help to make any party a success. Refreshments were served and many games were played during the evening. A TENNIS CLUB CIRCUS The Tennis Club gave a Circus at the High School building Satur- day evening, March 12. It was the first social affair held in our new gymnasium. The features of the evening were several side shows which were cleverly worked out. Uncle Tom's Cabin, Wreck of the Hesperusf' and Lighthouse Tragedy were those which proved most successful. Later in the evening the crowd assembled in the gymnasium where they witnessed the main show. Here many unusual and interesting char- acters were introduced. The most notable were the Siamese Twins, the Tallest Living Woman, the Dancing Dwarf, the Tight Rope Walker and the Acrobats. The candy, popcorn and peanuts, always a feature of a circus, aided in creating the typical circus atmosphere. FRENCH PARTY On the evening of February 17, a most interesting party was held by the members of the French Club. The club was entertained during the first part of the evening by a musical program. After the entertainment refreshments were served. This feature of the program furnished the necessary variety on the success of which so many parties depend. A basket of food enough for two was brought by each girl. The baskets were put up at auction by George Amstadt who proved to be an expert auctioneer. The boys bid for the baskets in a lively manner and the competition was keen. After the refreshments, dancing was enjoyed by a great number of French students who attended the party.

There's many a sad look and sigh in this building right now. Mid year exams are drawing near. Seniors are having their pictures taken. Every one requested to wear his best face! We can't improve on nature, however. Things look bright right now, but darker days are coming. Several taxis call to take the students and all their books home. Mid years all this week! FEBRUARY We students are able to be about again after a week ,of finals. Schedules have been changed. There's a riot around school, and it's not only the Freshies! The Senior girls decide to serve refreshments at the Valentine Party next week. The students are given a half holiday to open their Valentines. 1Applesaucel George Amstadt tells Miss Ross that a dead letter is a letter with a black border around it. That from a big boy like George! The Valentine Party is a big success, if all reports are true. Another one of those rainy days that puts pep UD into the students. We all strive to be truthful, but habits are hard to break. The Seniors elect three of their number to conduct chapel in the near future. Seems as though all that happens around here is meetings. The auditorium is completed and chapel will be held Friday, March? Swmgf-Eight lU,1fillI'6e'iE5lr W 1. 2. 4.

If you don't succeed in your re-exams, you canft try, try again. We meet the Newport girls' and boys' teams in the new gym. A victory for Newport's boys, and one for Berwick's girls. A new detention room must be provided. The present one can't accommodate the crowds. Chapel is held in the new Auditorium. Mac makes a striking appearance. The Tennis Club gives a circus. The freaks were well portrayed by the students. Just another one of those hair raising, exciting, hard-on-the-heart school days. As the days grow shorter likewise does our prison term. Physical education classes are scheduled to start soon. There is a disease known as spring fever going around the school. Tickets are distributed for Memory Lane. A very humorous French play is given in Chapel. At least, everybody man- aged to look intelligent. Seniors begin to realize that soon they will be thrust upon the cruel world. Thirty Commercial students face destruction. Miss Wunderly gives -exami- nations. APRIL One of those dark and dismal days that make school a pleasure. A very clever Virgil play is given in Chapel. Senior class meeting to find out the number of invitations needed. The Nature Club gives a very nice program on Arbor Day. As the school term comes to a close, the faces of the Seniors grow sadder. Mr. Hess gives an interesting talk on Industrial Relations. If the students continue getting married, there won't be enough to graduate. The lower classes are well represented, too. A girl's track team is organized. The art students are practicing for a production called The Carnival of Colors Mr. Zehner gives a talk on musical instruments. A nice hot day that all students enjoy, and how? The students have the afternoon off to see the I. O. O. F. parade, and then it rains all day. The students are resting up after half-day vacation. A very interesting talk on agriculture is given by Mr. Anderson. NT- , 3 Qi 'Q . ' ' 5 .I ii ' .

HESE few pages have been dashed off for all those interested and those not ,mi MQ afraid to smile or recognize a bit of numor when it is found. lt is also pub- fi, F25 lished and devoted to topics 1n general, likely to interest those not afraid of an idea. We hope these few pages will not be a white elephant to the rest of the publications. Speaking of elephants, we want to tell you about little Bonaventure, the pertinacious pachyderm. The nomenclature of the family of pachydermate is oddly transmutable, and while the epithet applied to this pachyderm was whilhom Jumbo, still when he desisted from his perigrinations with the nomads of the circus and abandoned the mannerisms of the thespian, he took to himself the name of Bona- venture. So, my readers, when in the course of human events, in order to promote domes- tic tranquillity, a benighted pachyderm flees from his arboreal retreat, he is observed absquatualating into a distant vale. --All we need to get along in this world is a few common cents. --I was at the track today, Percy, and there was a horse there with the itch. He came up to the post and they scratched him. --What the country seems to need most is a good dry cleaning. --The High School eczema quartet recently broke out into a rash and catchy little ditty entitled, I Used to Have the Toe Itch, But lt's All Over Now. --If Henry's planes become as numerous as his flivvers, what are we going to do for sunlight? -- So you're a salesman. are you? What do you sell? I sell salt. I'm a saltsellerf' Shake, --Many a ship is lost at sea for lack of tar and rudder, Many a boy has lost his girl by flirting with another. --If the moon had the sun, would the sky rocket? --A college sociologist declares that companionship between children and parents is increasing. And when the parents really learn all their children know, such relationship will be even more populari Eighty Four I 1, , ll' ' 'fl lllll lml Eighty-Five SULT AND BATTERY fcontinuedj The man who hid behind a woman's skirts was formerly called a cowardg today he is a magician. We wish to assure our foreign readers that our American girls are not so bad as they are painted. Our idea of a real student is one who takes a textbook to a dance and studies at intermission. The modern flapper is one who powders her nose, bobs her hair, and says to herself Come on clothes, I'm going out. If you want to go along, hang on. The hen that sits on a china egg is better off. There are something like 60,000,000 reasons why man will never be able to understand the opposite sex. All of them are women. --Everybody shoves a fat man. --Too short for a bathing suit--must be a dress. Well that's getting down to business, said the miner as he dis- appeared down the shaft The cliff dwellers weren't the only bluffers. --Never kiss a girl and tell the world about it--she will. -- I'll knock you for a rho. Phi on you! Beta dime you don't. A little spaghetti goes a long way in a stretch. A first class aviator must know his business from the ground up.

Often in the past they have been in- imical, one to the other, to the detriment of the people. The spirit of healthy co-operation between all branches of hu- man activity which Kiwanis engenders, includes the Church, the School and the State primarily. From them it asks only what they are organized to give - service for humanity. To them it gives support of every kind.
