,Q g TWHE REVEILLE 13 WHAT THE WHITE ATHLETIC FIELD MEANS T0 NEWARK As cities grow and vacant spots are util- ized for building purposes, the boys and girls are deprived of their play grounds. Educators, realizing that athletics sports are a very necessary supplement to mental and moral development, have seen the necessity for providing permanent playgrounds in their communities. Many city schools have their recreation grounds adjoining or near the school house. Newark boasts of two of this nature, one at Riverside, and one at Indiana Street. In addition to these, the Board of Education owns and operates a tract of eight acres known as White Athletic Field. In 1913, the ground was bought and equipped from money raised in the schools throughout the city and from the generous gift of a thousand dollars from the late Mr. Archie White of New York City. From this benefactor the field took the name White Athletic Field, Newark having been Mr. White's boyhood home. White Athletic Field has become one of Newark's human interest spots. It serves as a gridiron for football, a diamond for baseball, and an excellent place for the spring track events, all of these activities being supervised by the local High School. The grade schools also make use of White Field. The tennis courts are very popu- lar with both boys and girls. Swings, rings and various other equipment are provided for the amusement of the younger children. In the summer supervisors are placed in charge by the Board of Education. The shade afforded by the great trees. and the benches for resting places make it a popular ard much appreciated breathing place for many older persons during the heated months. Not only do the schools of the city profit by White Field, but many shop, office and factory men are privileged to renew their youth in the indulgence of athletics. The Y. M. C. A. sponsers and directs what is known as the Industrial League games. The con- tests grow vory warm at times and busy men are believing more and more in the old adage that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boyff White Field is one of the few ideals which has become a reality in Newark and has proved that well directed play has a sterling worth and is the running mate of conscientious work. A DEBATE The annual would not be a very good one if the debates of 1921 were outlined. This year our teams were good, our coach was good and the enthusiasm of the school was good, and above all other things, the decisions were marvelous. The Triangular Debate was held March 18. The whole day was spent in getting up pep. In the morning assembly was held and all the school clapped and cheered as our two teams and the coach came on the stage. Then we, that is the whole school, formed a parade and marched down to the B. Kr O. station. The parade was headed by two machines carrying the de- baters and several others. The band came next with Tubby Keller as drum-major, followed by the student body. We had a grand parade down West Main Street and around the square then down to the sta- tion. Ed. Quinn mounted the car and led our yells. After the train was gone the boys formed a snake dance and went to the Arcade. Here Quinn led the yells from the flower stand in front of the Arcade Florist Shop. Then the crowd broke up and went for something to eat. We all came back and had assembly for about two hours. The debate began about 8:30, but every seat in the auditorium was filled by 8:00. The stage was beautifully decorated with baskets of red and white carnations and greenery. Dorothy Hubbard led the songs and Ed. Quinn won the hearts of the judges by his humorous cheer-leading. Then the big debate began. The Zanesville speakers who came to Newark were Gladys Stephson, Allan Marsh, Warren Morris fcaptainl, and Dos sie LaRue, alternate. Our speakers at home were: Nick Symons, Emelyn Close, Jack Upham ,and Helen Freednour, alter' nate and captain. Our speakers at Mt. Vernon were: Helen Ranney, Hunter Kellenberger fcaptainl, Floyd Layman and Eleanor Hubbard, alter- nate. After the debate was over everyone was waiting expectantly for the decision of the judges, but Mr. Tait gave the good news away by his broad smile. Then, when the news came that we had won at Mt Vernon, fthe Hrst time in four yearsl. everyone jumped up and yelled and cheered Everyone went up to the old burying ground and the boys started a big bon- fire and the sparks were blown upward as the yells resounded through the air. After forming a parade to the square and giving a few yells under Quinn's leadership. everyone went home in a hanpy mood.

12 THE REVEILLE lg,-WW REQUIREMENTS OF A BOY OR GIRL FOR HARVARD OR HARTZ- , LER CUPS About every year it is the duty of the editors of The Reveille to tell the students about the Harvard and Hartzler cups. We find that is no exception this Year, and that it is necessary they tell the students again about the cups and how they are given. The Harvard and Hartzler cups are given each year to the best all-around boy and girl in the graduating class. This boy and girl are picked out by the members of the fac- ulty. The best all-around boy and girl of any class is often very hard to find and agree upon as different people see the same person in a different light. The pupils of a school might pick out the choice of the fac- ulty but it is not very likely. The average teacher sees a pupil in the light of an un- prejudiced observer while their classmates often do not see them as they really are. The students could not judge a pupil without some prejudice. The best all-around student would have to meet many different criticisms and With- stand them all. He or she would have to satisfy the requirements of many different iypes of students. He would have to be iianiate and jolly with everyone. To the less popular student he would have to be democratic. He would have to be able to take a real interest in any subject of in- terest to others. to be an earliest worker both in the classroom and on the athletic field. He could not crave leadership, nor feel in the least Hpuffedi' up because of his skill and progress. He must be courteous and kind to everyone and ready to help in the right kind of mischief. The wrong sort of mischief could not indulge in without losing his reputation. He should be a con- structive and not a destructive worker wherever he is. His advice must be limited and not bashful. In short he would have to remember that listening is better than talk- ing if one has nothing to say. And above all, ne must not try to become popular be- cause that is impossible when one tries. Some students think tlnf the student body should pick out the most popular boy and girl, but this is not so. Many times students are prejudiced against other mem- bers of the same class, because of envy, jealousy, lack of the school or class spirit, or because they think the other student has had better opportunities than they have had. This should not be, but it is to a great extent, and therefore the faculty make the choice and everyone has a fair chance. We don't know but we think it must be hard to pick the best all-around boy and girl from any class in Newark High. We Wonder what the consensus of opinion of our readers is towards the panelings of the Senior Class pages, the headings for Juniors, Seniors, for the Faculty. The panel- ings and headings are entirely new and a great deal of skill was required to make them. For several years the art work on the Annual,' has been done by profes- sionals, but the staH artists have done all the work this year. The heading for the Senior pictures was made, then sent to Co- lumbus where it was photo-engraved. When the boards came back, the pictures had to be pasted on and all the columns drawn by hand. This work was very long and tedious and required the skill of an artist to oversee the work. A large part of the credit for the beauty of our Annual is due to the artist, Eleanor Hubbard and her capable assistants. They have worked a great many hours and have tried to make the Annual the very best one ever printed. Not only have the staff artists done good work on the Annual, but also all through the year. Some of the headings formerly in use had been used four or Hve years, and were very old. The staff made new head- ings for all the departments this year. Everyone knows how tiresome it becomes to read a magazine or paper with the same pictures used over again, and so it is with our paper, The Reveille. Surely, evf,-rycne is proud of our artists and their work and is pleased to see such a display of art in our lSlQl Annual
