H. S. 12 IN the pages which follow we have endeavored to reflect for you life in Newcomerstown High School. The images created may not have the perfection of mirrored ones, but we have tried to catch the spirit of our various activities, our classes, clubs, athletics, and social affairs, and the feeling of loyalty and unity which makes all of these. —The Staff. 14 To Mj) Friend, KJewcomerstown High Sckool My school days will soon be o’er, Dear N. H. S. from you I must part, But memories of you I will keep Still cherish them deep in my heart. I know that I will feel alone, When I am in the world so wide, Without your faithful guiding hand, And your kind presence at my side. Your friendship was like none I’ve known. Such loyal friends are few, You seemed to know and understand So all my trust I’ve placed in you. Four happy years 1 spent with you, You kept me always in your sight; My trials and troubles all you shared, You helped to make my burdens light. The world, I know, has cares and sorrows Which your lessons will help me thru, You never faltered in your efforts To teach me what was right and true. I feel that I am stronger now, In every thing that’s good and true, I can decide what’s right from wrong And know I owe it all to you. Not only lessons did you teach And seemed to think that was all You liked to have your fun and sport, In jolly games and basketball. So when from you I must depart, The happy days in memory Will help to make my future bright, Your life my inspiration be. R. I. J. T7. Senior Class Arthur Euga, President Ralph Adams, Vice President Mary Hartline, Secretary and Treasurer Colors—Red and Black Flower—Lily of the Valley Motto— Toward Victory, If Not To It 17 ARTHUR EUGA “Monk” Under the leadership of Arthur our class has always come out with colors flying. During times of adversity he has always remained cheerful, and in times of peace, just as cheerful. And, “he has kept us out of war.” ROGER VANSICKLE “Van” Roger has impressed us more, this year, by his quietness than by anything else. He is not much bothered by our fair ones but mcthinks he would like to go south. His chief interest is ‘Wireless’ and he has that stick-to-it quality which is sure to win him success in the end. ADA NUGEN “Bridget” Always smiling and in a good humor, and aiming to bring happiness to others, Ada is one of the many bright spots of our school. RUTH JONES “Rufus” Ruth shines in dramatics. Always takes the thrilling, hair-raising parts. She has earned her diploma for she has taken Solid Geometry. She has a wonderful knowledge Stored away in her pate, And when it comes to acting They all say, “she’s great.” MABYL STAHLER “Tom” Mabyl, with her pleasant words and kind deeds, cheers those who are despondent and helps those who need aid. She has musical talent of which she can justly be proud. MARY McKENZIE “Peg” Mary’s thoughts are not light and trivial, but are of the deeper things of life. Ihis combined with steady perserverance and high ambitions are leading her to success which she is steadily and surely attaining. ROY HILDERBRANT “Hilde” “He is not very big, but he makes up what he lacks in size, with brains. No matter how difficult the task lie will stick to it until it is accomplished. RALPH ADAMS “Waldo” Always working hard and ranking high in his studies, Ralph has made a success of his high school life and is one whom his classmates will remember with pride. He also has a great liking for music. And— When Adams starts to singing And you hear his big bass voice; You’re sure to like the music. And it makes your heart rejoice. ROY EUGA “Tortoise Shell” Roy enters into everything with a vim. As a member of the baseball nine, he is one of the best players, but athletics is not all he pays attention to in school life, for in classes he is always ready to recite. 20 TOM MONTGOMERY “Brig” Great in athletics. It is not quantity but quality with him. Tom, Tom, our great athlete, Who in the game cannot be beat, And after the game our opponents cry “We lost and Tom was the reason why” RALPH DILLON “Raphael” Always busy, often industrious; this trait added to his pep and diplomacy makes Ralph a natural leader. With “virtus” as his motto And “Apples” as his name This little Senior that we know Is bound to come to fame. 21 m ar % E iiu=jb ETHEL KENDELBERGER “Jack” Ethel is known for pulling down high grades and being one of the best in her classes. With all her study, however, she is good natured and kind, and finds happiness in making others happy. Altho Ethel is in for a good time, she will have nothing to do with Cupid and his trickery. ROSEMARY COOK “Rosy” Rosemary, with her gay humor and ready wit, relieves the monotony of high school labors. But her thoughts are not always of jests and jokes and she accomplishes any task which is set before her, quickly and surely. MARY HARTLINE “Dutch” Mary is a very studious girl, always ready to help her other classmates to attain the knowledge which she so easily gets. She takes an active part in all social affairs of the school. We are sure that the world will find her as pleasant and enjoy her friendship as much as we have. 22 CHARLES BOTIMER “Bot” A good, kind-hearted fellow to have around, always smiling and ready to lend a helping hand. Charles will surely make a good politician as debating is his long suit. Charles is a progressive man and we expect some day to hear that he has invented a perpetual motion machine. GEORGE BROWN “Georgie” George, altho he is from “the acres”, is not a hayseed; as is shown by his manner in editing the Newcosean. Even a preacher’s son can have a good time, as George shows when he gets out with a bunch. He stands high in all his classes and great things are expected of him in the future. FRED REED “Fuzzy” He is a quiet, soft-voiced fellow, but chuck full and overflowing with nerve and pluck, and altho he looks innocent enough he has done things this year that would make anyone sit up and take notice. Senior Class History Although in our Freshmen year we started out with a large class, our members diminished each year, once by death, many times by pupils leaving school for work or account of ill health. Two of our members took the high school course in three years. Thus at the time of graduation but eighteen were left. We led the classes in our Sophomore year, but the next two years—perhaps because of our grief over losing two of our brightest scholars who moved away, and perhaps for other reasons—we did not lead but followed closely. During our High School career we took part in many social functions and also planned many of them. Our banquet to the Class of ’16 was a success, the “eats” as well as the play, “Macbeth a la Mode.” In our Senior year we published this annual which you are now reading. This is the second N. H. S. Annual and if the readers finds as much pleasure in reading it as we have in preparing it we shall feel amply repaid for the time and labor expended. You see that we have been an ambitious class and active in H. S. life. If our efforts have accomplished any good for the high school we are glad we have been of any service and are also conscious of the fact that these efforts have had a large part in educating and developing each of us. M. H. 17. 24 (1927) One hot day in July, I was strolling slowly down the beach of a famous eastern summer resort. Many people were bathing in the cool waters of the Atlantic, while others lay on the hot sand enjoying the cool ocean breezes. Numerous papers and other light objects were being caught in the drafts of air and blown about the beach. Suddentlv a paper came flying toward me and a part of it lit at my feet. Acting on some unknown im-oalse, I picked it up and glanced at the headlines. To my astonishment I found that it was a copy of The Newcomerstown News. 'This was very interesting to me, so 1 started in pursuit of the other section which was moving rapidly up the beach. The paper led me a merry chase; 1 stumbled several times and at last fell sprawling in the sand, my outstretched hand clutching the object which I desired. I was exhausted and great drops of sweat trickled down my face. I seated mvself just where 1 had fallen and proceeded to inspect the prize I had secured. 1 desired very much to know about my old schoolmates, of whom I had not heard for many years. I turned to the first page and the first thing that struck my eye was the picture of a school building. Just below the picture were the words “NEWCOMERSTOW N’S NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.” Then a short write-up followed. I read this and found that Ralph Adams, one of mv old schoolmates, was the superintendent and Ruth Jones the English teacher. Ruth evidently had conquered her dislike for English and was now trying to help others tp like it. I he next thing that I found of importance was a statement that the city was to have a new electric light plant. I remember a time when the city was without lights. I read the whole column and found that Ralph Dillon, our ingenious classmate, was to be the electrical engineer supervising its construction. This was all I found of importance on the first page and I turned to the next page where 1 found the personal mention page. Here 1 read a very interesting little paragraph concerning Miss Rosemary Cook and Miss Mary Hartline. It stated that they were home visiting friends after a long seasons work on a lyccum course. 1 remembered that they were quite talented along this line and were certain to make good. 1 hen I noticed a marriage announcement and learned that Ethel Kendelberger was the bride at the wedding. Turning to the advertising page 1 found several advertisements that led me to believe that a few of my old classmates were the city s leading business men. The Vansickle Clothing Co. had a large space; 1 was absolutely certain that it was none other than Roger who was the manager of the store. Tom Montgomery had an ad in concerning the Eureka Store. It was classed as the best and most up to date grocery store in town. I om always did have a head for business and it was no surprise to me to see him succeeding. There was still another concerning the Reed Meat Market: Inserted in the ad was a picture of the place of business, and standing in the doorway was a young fellow with curly hair, wearing a white apron. I knew that it was none other than our Fuzzy of former days. I he next thing that caught my eye wrere these lines; “Donald McClearv, Republican candidate for State Senator solicits your support.” lust then some one screamed, some one was drowning awrayr out trom 25 the shore. A row boat had upset spilling its occupants into the water. The life savers rushed to the rescue and soon had the person to land. A doctor arrived and commenced giving first aid to the drowned. 1 pressed forward to see the victim. She wore a ring on one of her fingers which closely resembled one I wore and cherished. Then I saw and recognized her face. It was Mabyl Stahler. Happily to say, Mabyl soon regained consciousness. 1 made myself known and she was pleased to find a friend at such a critical time. After she had completely recovered from her ducking, she told me that she was spending her vacation at this seaport, visiting friends and enjoying the charms of the ocean. Then she confirmed all I had learned from the paper and told me of those whose names I had not found in its columns. Ada Nugen is married, lives happily in Toledo and has several children. Roy Euga is a rising young surgeon in one of Cleveland’s greatest hospitals. George Brown has become a successful farmer and is still doing things at his country home. Charles Botimer has become an inventor of no little merit and is now connected with the Edison Company. Mary McKenzie married a wealthy farmer and together they arc running a farm which is the pride of the community. Arthur Euga controls a large automobile factory in Detroit which he runs on the Ford basis. It is thought that probably he will become quite as successful as Henry Ford himself. This ends the roll call and I feel proud of being a member of the class of T7. Memory brings back thoughts of high school days and I think of that fine old song with the closing line; “Dear old Newcomers High School Grand.” R- D.

They that had Herr Ley as leader, With the colors red and grey, And who always stuck together, Even through the thickest fray? They who always had ideas, And could put them into force; Who could have good times together. With themselves the source of course? I would write the remainder of this in poetry but am afraid that I can not tell of the wonderful merits of my class so forcibly in that way. We arc known as the most firmly knit class in the high school and have always worked well together (not boasting of course). As for athletics—well, we have a majority of players on the basket-ball teams, and several on the base ball team. The girls basket ball team is composed of all Juniors but one. But we are not interested along one line only, for in studies we certainly are stars. In our Sophomore year we alwavs ranked at the head of the classes but on account of the difficulty of the Junior subjects we can boast of that honor no longer. And as for social affairs, they actually predominate this year. When Freshmen we had several sled rides, as Sophomores we gave a banquet to the Seniors and had class parties, while in our Junior year—well I hardly remember everything, hut 1 do know that we had several parties and a weiner roast with the Seniors. We certainly have a fine class—at least the members think so. We have been trying, and I think, successfully, to live up to our motto “Impossible is Un-American” and we hope to live up to it not only during our Senior year at dear N. H. S. but also in our future lives. Let us all say “Impossible is Un-American.” A Junior. G. C. W.

There was much speculation among us as to what high school would be like. Many were sadly disappointed when they found it was work and not play. However, as time wore on and we understood the studies better, things adjusted themselves and it was not long until we felt at home. Our class was organized soon after school began. Blue and gold were chosen for our class colors, and “Excelsior” for our motto. During the winter basketball games helped to keep up our spirits. There was much excitement during the final examinations in May, but most of the class made it over the dead line. We celebrated this happy event with a picnic at Browning’s Ford, the trip being made in a hay wagon. Everything went off nicely until we started home, when it began to rain. The drizzle dampened our clothing considerably but not our spirits. Everyone greeted the summer vacation with joy, for we seemed to need some kind of recreation and rest. It passed quickly for everyone, too quickly in fact, for we were all reluctant to return to school. On the first Monday in September, 1916, we were back at school but now in the Sophomore room. This time it did not take us so long to settle down to the routine. Before the weather turned cold in the fall, the boys gave a marshmallow toast where everyone got his fill of marshmallows and fun. Later in the fall the girls returned the compliment and gave the boys a very enjoyable party in the banquet room of our building. Both of these parties furnished much material for the Journal, which is read at every class meeting. Everyone is working hard now to see who will come out ahead at the end of this year. Some say that the Sophomore’s record this year is the best in the school, but of course our modesty will not allow us to publicly credit this report (if you want to know our real opinion of our record try asking Harry Me. or Edna F.) The half-way mark of our high school career is now almost at hand, and we are determined to keep before our minds even more firmly than ever our motto “Excelsior.” 34 F. Z.

D. B. R. D. ’20 41 Voyage of the Freshmen Crew In days gone by on the ocean of learning There sailed a reckless crew, Who for education had little yearning As every captain knew. Still once in a while they did assav To win the ribbon blue And enter the harbor of Sophomore Bay, Tho the outlook, was dark ’tis true. As idly they sailed in their fresh green bark, Soon saw they to their dismay, “Examination the pirate shark Headed straight their way. With hollow groans they walked the plank Ah ! they were no longer gay, As the ominous shapes of Shepherd and Swank Came on the deck that dav. They made short work of that green little crew I hat had sailed in such ignorant bliss And put off the thought of preparedness, For such a day as this. So Freshman crew of N. H. S. Remember “Omnia vincit labor” And head for the land of success Which is found on the Sophomore shore. D.

If possible the programs are arranged to suit the various seasons and holidays of the year, and occasionally refreshments are served. The membership includes all the Seniors and Juniors who wish to join and any Sophomore maintaining a minimum grade of 90 per cent. The exertions of Miss Townsend, who is in charge of the club, help to make it the success it has proved itself to be.

Orchestra has been one of the interesting features of high school life for four years. It was organized in 1914 by our efficient director, Mrs. S. A. Neighbor, and with the co-operation of each member proved a success, and is continuing so, under the leadership of Miss Lieser. The orchestra has accomplished much, and it is to be hoped that it will still continue to succeed. 46 L J BRASS SEXTETTE MUSIC Music is a disease which attacks human beings, cats and dogs. It is very contagious but its attacks on children are not usually as severe or dangerous as those on adults. The latters chances for recovery are very slight, as are also the chances of the neighbors. Music is supposed to consist of melodies but some music we have heard seemed to be made up of maladies. The god of music is called Pan. The music that some people render sounds as if they were trying to beat a pan. Musicians may be divided into two general classes—vocalists and instrumentalists, the former being the greater pests especially when they think they are vocalists. Because a man has made money with his voice doesn't always mean that he has been a singer, he may have been an auctioneer. Policeman are good musicians because they are always on the beat. Men usually sing in quartettes. A quartette consists of three persons and a tenor. Female vocalists arc quite numerous and very dangerous, for after marrying one of these did not Patrick Henry cry “Give me liberty or give me death?” Recent inventions of the canned music box have made “canned music” possible. It is very convenient, for if not pleasing you can shut it off without seeming impolite. 47 Tuscarawas Camp Fire Girls In a valley low and lovely By the winding Tuscarawas, Dwelt a group of Camp Fire Girls, Girls so strong and faithful, Faithful to their books and studies. Once a week they did gather, Gathered they in homes so lovely; Here they worked, played or talked, Talked of birds and flowers and Camp Fire honors, Honors big and little, Once a month a special meeting, A meeting ceremonious and formal, Here they told of deeds and kindness, Deeds of love or service rendered. In our group Minnehaha, Laughing Water, Minnehaha tall and helpful; Nakwisi capable and happy; Adsila strong, reliable; Swatiska the good luck bringer, Atsila good and faithful, Mirnetoska, brown eyed maiden; All the maidens of our Camp Fire, Led by Serloha their guardian. Camp Fire Girls so loyal, Pledged their strength and power to give To work and health and love forever. 48 VIRGINIA “She will live but will be crippled for life.” Theresa Van Orf heard the doctor’s verdict with a sinking heart. She had been waiting all through the operation and hoping. Miss Van Orf was a wealthy young woman who was interested in hospital work. She became attracted to Virginia the first time she saw her and during the few days before the operation, they had become very good friends. Virginia was a little girl whose history was unknown. She had been found on the steps of the Orphan’s Home about eleven years before. Five days before the hopeless words were spoken by the hospital surgeon, Virginia had been happily skipping along one of the winding drieways in a park near the “Home,” when she became separated from the attendant and was struck by an automobile. She was taken to the hospital and it w-as decided that an operation must be performed as soon as possible, if she were to live. W hile the surgeon expressed doubts, he gave some hope for a complete recovery, but such w'as not the result. One day soon after the return from the hospital, Virginia was delighted by an unexpected visit from Theresa. After they had talked of Virginia’s health and of other things for a while, Theresa said, “Would you like to come to my house and live with me, Virginia?” “Oh, Miss Van Orf, you don’t mean for always, do you?” “Yes, always, Virginia, if you wish to.” “Oh, 1 can’t really believe it—would it be just like I was your little girl?” “Yes, dear,” answered Theresa tenderly. “Oh, oh, oh! then I’d have a family wouldn’t 1? And I could have a little black puppy or a little yellow kitty all my own, like other girls that have a family?” Theresa nodded convincingly to all these questions but upon noticing that a shadow seemed to pass over the bright eyes, asked quickly. “What is the matter Virginia?” “I—1 was just thinking—that I’d have to leave Miss Browning. But she won’t care so much will she, when she knows I am going to your home, and I can come back to see her, can’t 1?” Miss Browning was one of the young teachers who was very fond of Virginia. “That, dear,” replied Miss Van Orf, “is another surprise I have for you, Miss Browning is coming to live with us to be your teacher, As I am an orphan myself, it will be nice to have you and Janet in my home. Won’t we have lots of happy times together?” “Oh, I’m so happy I don’t know what to do. Oh, Miss Van Orf how-can I ever be a good enough girl?” 49 I'm not worrying about that, Virginia” answered Theresa The day before Virginia left the Orphange was turned into a holiday. Theresa gave Virginia permission to have a party at noon for the whole flock. Such rejoicing as there was over the roast chicken, ice-cream and cake, and other goodies so rare to those motherless children. And when each one was presented with a new toy, a gay ribbon or some other article dear to the hearts of those receiving only the bare necessities, their joy was complete. One thing alone somewhat dampened their spirits, and that was the thought of Virginia’s leaving—Virginia, whose bright smile and sweet ways had helped to make many hours of their life here happier and more hopeful. When Janie May, a thin, sallow cheeked, big-eyed little girl of seven, begged to be taken too, Theresa could hardly keep back the tears. Her heart was big enough for all, but the responsibility of one was as much as her inexperience could attempt. Virginia was very happy in her new home and her sunny disposition quickly endeared her to all of Theresa’s friends. One afternoon a week they visited the Orphans Home, when Theresa told a story to the children, and Virginia gave an orange or some candy to each one. These visits were kept up quite regularly for nearly two years, but gradually they became fewer as more studies were added to Virginia's education. She spent much time on her sketching and music, both vocal and instrumental, for she had a naturally sweet voice and a fine understanding and appreciation of good music. One evening, Theresa was reading the newspaper when she gave a delighted cry. “What is it, auntie,” asked Virginia. I just read that the famous English specialist, Dr. White will arrive in our city tomorrow. 1 just know he can make you walk better. Virginia was now fifteen years of age and very beautiful. Of course she often wished that she could dance and play like other children but she never complained. “Oh, Auntie when can we see him?” ”1 will write a letter at once and he should get it tomorrow.” “Oh. I can hardly wait, and do you suppose he can make me walk like other children? 1 wish he would hurry.” • wo days later Theresa, Virginia and Janet went to consult the great specialist, lie started and then grew pale. How much you remind me of someone 1 used to know. But let me see if 1 can do any thing for you. After an examination he said the case looked very favorable and he thought an operation would make her well. He said he would operate the next day. After the operation Virginia slowly became stronger and imagine 50 her delight when, with Theresa, Janet and Doctor White as an audience, she walked from her bed to her chair. She grew very fond of the doctor and he came to see her every day. One day the doctor came to see her looking very happy and excited—“Vir-vinia I have something to tell you which has made me the happiest man alive, and I know it will make you very happy.” “Hurry up, Doctor White, you make me so anxious” cried Virginia. I must start at the first of the story. I am an Englishman, of course, and my life has been spent in London, with the exception of a few years of study in Germany. Twenty years ago I fell in love with, and married a beautiful woman. I was very anxious to become famous and my work took me away from my borne for weeks at a time. We lived happily for four years (at least I was happy) when one day I came back from a very important case and found my wife and baby daughter gone. She left a note saying she was unhappy because of my neglect, as she called it. I was heart broken, for 1 loved her dearly. After a fruitless search 1 decided to devote all my time to my work. I never forgot my wife and child and lived in hopes that they would return some day.” “My visit to the United States is the only vacation I have had for twenty years and what a happy one it has proven to be. This morning a visitor was announced and you may imagine my delight and surprise to see my wife. After I had welcomed her she told me she had read in the newspaper of my arrival and came as soon as possible. “Where is my daughter” 1 asked. “My wife said when she came to the United States her money was about gone and she placed the child on the Orphanage steps. She got employment and when she was able went to the home to claim the child. She learned that our daughter had been adopted by a cultured and wealthy young woman and, wishing the child to have all the advantages possible, she did not claim her, but had seen her several times.” “Virginia, have you not guessed? You are my daughter and how-happy it makes me that I have found you.” “Oh, father! how w-onderful to find my real parents, but where is my mother? I am so anxious to see her.” “Here 1 am, my daughter,” and the mother came from the adjoining room. Conflicting emotions almost overpow-ered Mrs. White as she hastened forward and then stopped still, gazing upon this lovely girl who was really her grown-up baby. “Virginia, my dear, dear baby girl,” she said brokenly sinking into a chair beside Vorginia’s “can you ever forgive your mother for her selfishness? I was so young and did not understand what a fine, good man your father w-as. He was true to me all these years, hoping I would return. And I—I 51 could not put his memory out of my heart in spite of his apparent neglect of me. And, oh, Virginia, to think of having to leave you at that awful orphan’s home.” “Mother, mother,” broke in Virginia “Hush! lets not speak of that again. I am so happy to have found you and to think Dr. White is mv father, Isn’t it like a fairy story. Tell me again ,is it really, really true?” “Yes, my dear child,” both parents assured her happily. Soon Theresa came to see Virginia and was told the story. “Of course, Aunt '1'hercsa, 1 love you but 1 must go with my parents, for I love them also and 1 really belong to them.” “I shall miss you very much Virginia but is is right that you should go with your parents. Wish your aunt happiness for I am to be married soon.” You need not be entirely separated from Miss Van Orf, Virginia, for I have decided to make my home in this city and here continue my practice. So you see, dear, it will turn out very properly as all good fairy stories should, we can all live here happily ever after. But this,” and here he knelt between his wife and daughter with an arm about each, this is a true one.” B. M.

Each player has done his best and all working together, they have built up a team that has been defeated but few times. Although things looked dark at first, the players showed the right spirit and soon developed i i winning team. We are looking forward to the coming season and hope to realize our expectations, ising team is shown by the following record. That we have a prom- N. H. S. 8 U. H. S. 10 at home N. H. S. 0 C. H.

Even when we lose we don’t get sore and pout, We take all our defeats, as every good old scout. Mary and Freda, our forwards, have surely got the stuff Combined with Virginia and Gladys, our opponents cry “enough They’re noted for their strength, their skill and quickness too, Old N. H.

Last but not least come Marjorie and Rae And you really should see how those two guards can play I hev’re noted for their passwork, their “pep” and sportsmanship fine But all of it’s due to Miss Hofer, who we know hasn’t wasted her time. 55 The Source of Modern Athletics No doubt the majority of the people know that sports are very old. but I dare sav that only a small portion know that they are as old as history itself. These people believe that the games of the ancients merely furnished us with suggestions and that the modern sports are the result of radical changes, additions and substractions from those of former times. However history proves that this is not the case. It is interesting to note how many sports that are indulged in to-day have suffered little or no change as they came down thru the ages. Those which comprise the so-called “track events. 1 hey are. no doubt, the oldest that we have. The short run. such as the 100. 200, 400. 500 and 1000 yard sprints, which were very much in favor among the Greeks and the Romans, were run then practically the same as they are to-day. Even the position of the runner before the start and the start itself have suffered no appreciative change. However, the qualifications were somewhat different then. The races were divided into classes in which only men. boys or girls could compete, as the case may be. We have seen too many pictures of the Greek Disc Thrower to know that this sport is not of recent origin. The only changes that have been made in this is that the disc is now made of wood with a rim of brass or iron, while the original was only a stone for which a chunk of iron was later substituted, this finally being transplanted by a bronze disc, very much similar in shape to the one in use to-day. The throwing of the discs gave rise to the putting of the shot and the throw ing of the hammer. The only changes made in the high jump is that the weights which were used by the ancients, have been barred. The ancients used these weights to help them carry the body over the standard which was made of marble or some other heavy stone. The weights were also used in the broad jump. While there was no pole vault in those times, this event was probably suggested by the use of the weights. The fact that they used something to help them carry their weight over a standard would very naturally cause them to be anxious to see how high thev could throw their bodies w hen they had something by which they could raise themselves. The javelin throw i another sport that has been changed very little during its long existance. Another sport that held the interest ot the ancients was wrestling. This sport, like our basebaii. had man professional players and teachers. There have been few changes in the game, such as the barring of tripping and the discontinuation of the practice of putting oil on the body 56 of a participant in a bout. Aside from the modifications, the test of skill and strength remains the same as it was then. Boxing, a sport closely allied to wrestling is another one which commanded great respect from the people of former times. It is interesting to note what comprised the glove of the ancient boxer. The style used most extensively was made by binding two or three strips of hard, stifif leather across the knuckles. The wrapping which held the strips in place were extended to about the middle of the forearm, where there was a roll of fleece, with which the fighter could ward ofif blows without injury to the body. The fact that such weapons were used caused the boxers to become very skillful in the work. A blow from one of these weapons would mean much more than a blow from one of the modern five-ounce, hair padded gloves. This art, as it is called by some people, has lost none of her popularity it received in the days of the mighty Eryx and Hercules. Rowing, as it is conducted to-day, is the result of the old galley race. The work was done at the time by slaves, there being a certain number to a tier. The number of tiers ranged from one to four which created the need of a boat very much longer and heavier than the “shell of to-day. I he one to receive the honor in such a race was the captain, in most cases the owner, while the whole crew shares the praises to-day. In looking over some of the ancient sports and seeing the small number of changes that had to be made to make them applicable to us, we can readily see the good sportsmanship which was demanded of the pagen in order to win, with a very few exceptions, his love for sports were constructive and not destructive. Ode to N. H. S. Fond memories will forever cling, Around this hall of fame. And often in reflection bring To mind her good old name. Her doors are open wide to all, Come join our happy throng, For those who heed the high school call Go seldom in the wrong. A blessing she has proved indeed To this old town of ours; With virtue as her highest creed. Aloft and grand she towers. In after years when you recall, With many a tear and smile, That you have spent your school days here, You will know its been worth while. G. A. T9 58 The Founding of Newcomerstown High School The exact date of the founding of Newcomerstown’s high school can not now he determined. Judging from the characteristics of the broad-spirited splendid-visioncd founders of that early day, it may be assumed that complete records of the important events were made at the time. Rut in the lapse of years these records have been mislaid, and are now unfortunately lost—possibly for all time. As early as 1849 Colonel Robert Nugen, then on the staff of Governor Medill, and later a member of Congress from this district, began agitating the problem of better schools for the people of this neighborhood. In this noble work he was vigorously supported by men of the stamp of Geo. H. Dent, Rev. Mr. Emerson, David Mulvane and others. Later he was joined by Dr. Brown and a number of far-seeing business men whose enlightened visions carried them many years ahead of their day. In 1849, under what was then known as the “Akron Law,” these men began agitation for a “Union School” for Newcomerstown and the surrounding country. Their idea was to bring together the little groups of children that were being taught at different points in the township for a few weeks each year in a haphazard way, without adequate equipment or housing, and often with teachers poorly fitted for their work. Under the law, such a school could not be established without an approving vote of the freeholders of the territory to be affected. Then began a canvas of the township to find how many freeholders would be favorable to this radical change. To the consternation of of the friends of the “Union Schools”, the number of freeholders who opposed the change exactly equalled the number who saw a great improvement in the project for a graded school. 'I hen it was that Col. Nugen saw his opportunity to perform a service for this valley which was probably unequalled in his active career in the state and Nation. The fight was precipitated, the lines were drawn, and the election ordered. The opposing forces marshaled their strength on election day confident that they could kill the new-fangled educational idea. But Col. Nugen, on the day preceeding the election had quietly deeded to one of his employees, a Mr. Brown, the island in the Tuscarawas just east of the Nugen bridge. This newly-made elector, deed in hand, made his appearance at the polls, and cast his ballot. It was for the establishment of the Union school, and the day was won by one vote. Thus it may be said that in this early spring day of 1849 the Newcomerstown high school had its real beginning. 60 It was not however until 1881 that the first class was formally graduated from the high school. The schools, under the graded system, and by some of the best teachers of the day, immediately attracted wide attention. Among these teachers, whose memories are yet revered by our people, were Dr Emerson, Dr. U. Jesse Kinselv, and others scarcely less noted. 'I heir superior work has given the state a Supreme judge, a lieutenant governor, and a number of men eminent in the law, in medicine, and divinity, and has furnished an inspiration for scores of useful men and women of today. In 1880 diplomas were granted to a class who had practically completed the course of study. Among these arc Dr. Rollin Goudy and Mrs. Pllla McCleary Neighbor of this city. The following year the class was honored by a public “commencement,” and received their diplomas, signed and sealed by the officers of the board of education, in the presence of an immense gathering of the people. From 1881 to the present, well-equipped classes, an honor to their teachers, to themselves, and to the public who have liberally supplied the means for a broad elementary education, have gone forth annualy from these TATT T nTTCr §9ra ALUMNI DIRECTORY Anderson, Daisy Anderson, Martha Art, Vernon Arcore, Rhoda E.

A boy whose name I will not mention Went to take an examination He rushed his work said, “that’s good enough If it don’t pass it sure will bluff.” When later on he gets his grade You should have seen his color fade, “Darn it all, I take it over Couldn’t bluff Townsend and Hofer.” Miss Townsend—“Well, now Charles either you or the book is wrong.” Charles B.—“Must be the book.” Harry Me—“She said I might kiss her on either check.

He replied that he had no desire whatever for an auto while he had a Carr. BRIGHT SAYINGS Miss Townsend—“Milton wasn’t blind until he1 lost his eyesight.” Mr. Swank—-“I don’t sec anybody but what’s here. Miss Hofer—“The ancestors to come would live here. Mr. Shepherd—“Albert, wake up, don’t you know this isn’t the Central Hotel.” Miss Townsend—“This English class actually makes me feel like quitting teaching and taking in washings. Mr. Shepherd—“I am very proud 1 was raised among the cows and chickens. Birnev looking very intently at something under his desk. Miss T.—“Birney, what have you under vour desk?” Birney—“My Ingersoll.” Miss Townsend (In English IV.)—“Class, what do you think Banquo's state of mind was?” Chas. Bot—-“Delirious.” Miss x.—“Oh, Charles, every one in this play is not crazy or delirious.” Miss Town. (In English 111.)—“Roy, what kind of an essay on spiders did Jonathan Edwards write?” Roy E. (confidently)—“Why, a theological essay. Deborah—“Charles, you are getting better looking every day. Charles—“Sorry, Deborah, but I have a girl at present.” 79 Proverbs Tried and True “A stitch in time often saves embarrassing situations.” “Fine feathers make fine feather beds.” A word to the wise is useless.” “Where there is a will there’s a lawsuit.” “People who live in glass houses should dress in the dark.” “Soap long deferred maketh the dirt stick.” Mr. Shepherd—What do you mean by “bacteria.” Beulah Pierce— By bacteria, we mean blackbirds, sparrows, hawks, crows and other bugs injurious to plant life.” Senior—“ ho is that good looking woman with Mr. Swank?” Shepherd—“That is the woman he used to love.” Senior—-“What is her name?” Shepherd—“Mrs. Swank.” An exchange prints the following: A Westerner had hung himself to the bedpost by his suspenders.

What Would Happen If— Voneta Marlow forgot to study. Ethel Kendleberger quit giggling. Ralph Dillon were quiet for five minutes. Kate Tuftord went with anyone but Ralph Brown. The Physics class had a good recitation. Rosemary should stop talking. I om Montgomery should grow. Mr. Swank forgot to give a lecture in Chapel Ada came to school without chewing gum. Botimer put on a clean collar. 80 Popular Songs “That’s How I Need You”—(Diplomas) “The Curse Of an Aching Heart”—(Grade Cards) “Goodbye, Boys”—(Graduates) “Everybody’s Doin’ It”—(Studying) “Perfect Day”—(Day after Exams.) “Oh, Oh, Oh, What a Night”—(Just before Exams) Mary had a little horse, It’s head was wise as Caesar, And everywhere that Mary went This pony went to please her.

Nowr Mary roams disconsolate, Heart broken and alone And says, “If you’ve a pony dear, Just keep it safe at home.” Prof. Swank—“Arthur, in what course do you expect to graduate?” Arthur—“In the course of time.” Miss Townsend—'“Has anybody in the class read “Freckles.” Buster Dillehay—“No, but I have brown ones.” 81 “Just a Few Pointers to the Freshmen.” Err as little as possible, it always annoys the teachers. Don’t talk to your neighbor, he may want to sleep. Please don’t forget to come to class. Don’t loaf in the hall, the teachers do that. Don’t talk in chapel, people are payed for that. What’s the use of wasting energy? It’s not necessary to study— Just bluff. Remember—Ladies First. Sure the rooms are large at N. H. S.

Found in Our Mail Sack Dear Mr. Editor: My name not having been in last years annual I would like you to please put it in this years book. I am a good young man of no bad habits and do not like the girls. Sincerely yours, Frank Patterson. Mr. Editor: 1 wish you would please ask all the girls who have any jewelry belonging to me to please give it back, as 1 am graduating this year and may need it in col'ege. Yours with Thanks, Donald McCleary. Dear Editor: Last year I sent you a poem but it was not put in the annual, so I am again sending you some poetry and my picture hoping you will favor me this time. I Remain yours truly, An Ambitious Student A. B. E. P. S.—Owing to a mistake of the printer the poem was left out, but the picture was put on page 18. 84 This letter was sent to Miss Hofer a month or so ago: Dear Madam: My son writes me that he studies too hard. He says he has to translate fifty hexameters of Vergil a day. 1 looked up “hexameter” in the dictionary and find it is poetic verse of six feet. Now that makes three hundred feet or one hundred yards of poetry for my poor son to translate each day. I think about half a hexameter, or thirty-six inches of this Vergil is plenty for a boy of his age. Sincerely, Mrs. Dillon. Elliott Duff (in physiology class)—“Say, do you know we have the healthiest water in town, Mr. Shepherd.” Mr. S.—“How is that?” Elliott D.—“Why, its well water.” Miss Hofer—“Clarence, who sits in front of you?” Clarence S.—“No one, I do.” Frank, upon hearing the sentence in logic—“You can’t love and be wise” remarked, “Well if that is the case 1 must be a darn fool.” Please Help Us Discover: Why Paul Atkinson is so bashful. Why Mr. Swank changed the Senior’s seats. Why Marjorie Kaden likes beans. Why Ernest S. likes to study in the freshman room. What important business Harry Me has at home on Saturday night. Why the back seats are more comfortable than the front ones in taking exams. First Junior—“I heard Mabyl Stahler got sea sick during chapel yesterday.” Second Junior—“Yes the high C’s were to much for her.” Oh Gee The summer’s day was growing old, She walked thru snow and sleet, Her nose was very long and cold, Her shoes were full of feet. But many a wicked smile she smole, As the sun sank in the sink, And many a wicked wink she wunk, And many a think did thunk. He sipped the nectar from her lips, As under the moon they sat, And wandered if ever a man before Had drunk from a mug like that. Ralph Adams—“Only fools are positive.” Miss Hofer—“Are you sure.” Ralph— I’m positive of it.” 85 To prove: She loves you. Proof: You love the girl, therefore you are a lover. All the world loves a lover (Shakespeare). Your girl is a part of the world (perhaps all of it to you.) Therefore your girl loves you. THE JUNIOR CLASS Miss Hofer says “you're on the bum.” Mr. Swank says, “Take out your gum.” Miss Townsend comes in and exclaims, “You certainly do make me ashamed. Mr. Shepherd—“How can you tell the time of vibration?” Arthur—“Look at your watch.” “Some people call me stingy. Do you think I am.” She—“Well, I must say you are a little close at times.” A Devil from His Own Home Town Paul A.—“Do you know that when I once get started Pm a regular devil, I am?” Zclah R.—“Indeed, 1 didn’t know that?” Paul—“You bet; I’ll tell you something if you wont tell the fellows. One night at a party after all the teachers had gone home—Are you sure you wont tell? Well a bunch of us fellows got together and played cards.” Horrors! Mr. Shepherd (in Physics)—“What does amperes times volts equal?” Tom—-“What?” (watt) Mr. Shepherd—“Correct.” It was cold And her hands were cold too And I______________ Well, wouldn’t you? If it wras cold And her hands were cold, too? N. H. S. VocaDulary Hammock—Just another name for spoon holder. English—The science of trying to show how well you can bluff. Sight—The way to translate German. Key Hole—A conclusive test of sobrietv. Tutor—Same as engineer. Moon—A heavenly body which scientists say has an influence on the tide, we say it has an influence on the untied. Marriage—The superlative degree of tough luck. Girl—A picture puzzle of ten thousand parts. Fact—A lie that has not been successfully contradicted. Flunk—A bluff that didn’t work. 86 Well look who’s here. Marjorie Kaden and Albert Dillehey, looking their very jolliest and that is some jolly. They’re the two that get the most fun out of high school life and that’s going some. “Who said so,” you ask? Why we did. When? Well, one day, not long ago everyone in high school voted on the jolliest boy and girl, and the most studious and here you have the result. Those two at the bottom are George Brown and Voneta Marlow, No, they haven’t lost their last friends they are merely demonstrating how really studious they can look. And although they often look this way you needn’t worry, they’ll survive. In fact studying seems to agree with them. If it didn’t, how would George Brown ever have the strength to carry all those books to and from school. So if the annual has not already convinced you that both fun and study abound in N. H. S., I am sure the pictures of the living specimens will prove the fact to you. 87 WITH APPOLOGIES TO RUSSEL DAYTON He talks like a book, His admirers say. What a pity he doesn’t Shut up the same way. A Fact A watch may have no gender, But you really can’t efface The fact that nearly always, There’s a woman in the case. First Flea—“Been on a vacation?” Second Flea—“No, on a tramp.” Mr. Shepherd—“How do you account for that formula, how do you know it is true?” Donald—“The book says so.” Miss T.—“How is Gratino going to act if Bassanio takes him with him to see Portia?” Little Freshie—“Oh, he is going to be so good and not talk a blue streak all the time.” Everybody works but the Seniors They loaf around all day Thinking about Commencement Not very far away, Cut half their recitations Teachers say, “Alas.” Everybody works in our Hi School But the shiftless Senior Class. Miss Townsend—“Roy, what is a parricide?” Roy E.—“Something that lives on something else.” Teacher—“Which is the most delicate of the senses?” Roy Hildebrant—“The touch.” Teacher—“How’s that?”’ Roy H.—“Well when you sit on a pin you can see it, you can’t hear it, you can’t taste it, but you know it's there, all right. Prof. Swank’s talks don’t affect the Freshmen as is shown by the way they leave chapel. Will ANYONE kindly suggest ANYTHING that WILL affect the Freshmen. Mr. S.—“In the summer time when it is hot the pendulum on a clock expands; what could you do to make it vibrate the same.” Mary H.—“Change the heat.” 88 THE NEWCOSEAN I II THE NEWCOSEAN KADEN’S Baltimore Clothing Co.
