Page 15 text:

The Blotter of Blowers The Blotter of 1930, published by the largest senior class that has ever been graduated from New Albany High School, is necessarily the largest and best Blotter in the history of the school-we admit itf There is a great amount of work connected with the editing of any year book and particularly is this true when the staff decides to produce an entirely different type of annual. The staff was selected on a competitive basis and the members have cooperated untiringly in the attempt to reach the high standard set for them. Our purpose has been to portray in words and pictures the year's activities, We hope it will be an effective memory book. The theme, the theater, has been carried throughout the book, bits of drama, photoplay, revues, talkies and the circus have all been used. The verse, imitative of Shakespearean style and meter, and other writings suggest the stage. We hope you like the colors, the theme, the work--in fact, we hope you like us, as we strut our stuff . Betty Jane Hacker, Editor. Remember? Miss Kirk reducing Tiny Kelso's legs? Gimme da goo! Betty, have you got I.ovey's head? No, but here's her body. Will one of you clean Midge's face? Those six o'clock lunches we didn't get! Watching track meets while working. fYeah Worhinglj. Racking our brains for smart sayings. Somebody cut off Bassett's ear. Doesn't it give him an eerie look? Getting the Then and Now's. How the Romeos posed! Cut off Atch Janes' head! Getting the cement off your hands. Liz Shine's deformed picture. Cutting pictures on the line. Getting the families together. Who threw Roy Downs into the wasLebasket? Projecting the diagona1I Edmonia cutting stencils. The Soft goo brush. XVhat's the principle, Miss Kirk?

N. A. H. S. Revue The following theorem was evolved by Edwin Kahl, to-wit: If all the worlds a stage, and N. A. H. S. is a small part of the world, then N. A. H. S. is a small stage, too. Thinking Barnum to have been right, we decided to feature a Revue. William Willer, fabulously wealthy from Penny a week day supplied the financial backing. A sinister plot was woven by Naomi J. Kirk. Jean Kelso leaped into the lime-light as scenarist. Albert Koehler, having finished a course in College Humor, Whiz Bang. etc., was unanimously elected 4'gag man. The play being French, Howard Wyne had supervision of the dialect and Edna Watson was chief prompter. Howard had quite a time teaching Mutt Gehlbach. villain, the correct pronunciation because Mutt's mustachios, had the habit of im- peding his speech. Helen Green and J. Wendell Ballard were cast for the leading roles, Jack Kraemer the dashing army commander, Ruby Wells the faithless wife, Helen Springer sym- pathetic Red Cross nurse and Claude Hughes crisp, eflicient surgeon, Alinda Widman and Mary K. Doyle were Salvation Army lassies and furnished sinkers for the poor extras of the mob scenes, the Seniors. They portrayed an excellent piece of acting when they saved the life of Thelma Huntsinger with a cup of coffee and doughnut. Pritz B Rockenbach, costumers, used Belle Gr-nung as wardrobe mistress. Beard iff Heckel. symphony directors, put on some hot musical numbers such as Ethelbert, be true . These Were sung by Leota Rusk, High School diva. Lena Board featured several snappy dance numbers. J. H. Thomas arranged the historic sequence. Nelle Homrighouse furnished colorful settings which were painfully erected by Oral Terrell. Arthur Thro managed the finances with the aid of Grace Harper who missed making up her weekly bank chart because of worry spent on straightening out the books. The masterpiece was censored by Cecil Crecelius Katterjohn, well-known critic who left enough scenes in it to cost Margaret Peters, typist, ten cents worth of Oh Boy gum. While she was on her last paragraph. Demi Daniel Finley playing with a hi-powered ex- periment, sent typewriter, play and six extras thundering clown the ages. --Leeba Kehoe.
