Elizabeth Tucker I IN MEMORIAM RALPH LONCACRE GRUBB January 30,1909—April 25, 1925 Typifying ideal young manhood, the memory of Ralph Grubb, student of Newport High School and member of the class of i928, lingers in the minds of hosts of friends.

ADAMS Class Historian Literary 1, 2, 4 Blue and White Staff 2, 3 Senior “Blue And White” Staff Wearer of Athletic “N” 4 Secretary and Treasurer 1 President 2 Librarian of Public Library 4 Track 1, 2, 3 Class Basket Ball 3 Student Council 4 Boys’ Octette 2, 3 Declamation Contest 1, 2, 3 Winner of School Declamation Contest 3 Senior Class Play History For John Adams John Adams has always been a bright light in the class of ’25. His clever brain and ready wit never fail him. One could usually find him at the head of everything lending his unique ideas. John has great managing ability and financial foresight and his motto is “Nothing ventured, nothing won.” H. G.

The chivalrous young man of the class is Lewis Baker. A hen he is not at school and not plaving base ball he ahlv fills the position of “printer’s devil” on the “News” force. Much of the class’ printing has been done by him. Baker is an actor oi no little ability. EMMA BOSWELL Honor Student Class Optimist 4 Blue and White Stall 4 Senior “Blue And White” Staff Member of S. P. Q. R. Wearer of Honor “N” 3, 4 Literary 1, 2 Declamation Contest 3, 4 There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth. Emma Boswell is one of honor students. She has always been faithful and industrious in her studies and in school and class activities. Her excellent work in the “Blue and White” has elicited favorable comment from many exchanges. 10 JOHN E. BUCKWALTER Senior Class Play Senior Blue and White Staff The Knightliest of the Knightly race, -------since the days of old. John Buckwalter entered the class in the Freshman year. Despite the fact that lit commutes from Cosh's Run daily, he has taken an active part in class activities. 11 is splendid acting in “Brother Elks,” the Senior class play, has earned for him the sobriquet “The Perfect Lover.” 11 MARY E.

The only reason Mary Cams ever takes a back seat is because she’s tall and can see over the other fellow’s head. She’s generally to the front and always boosting. Mary’s a milliner hv trade and a flapper by inclination. SHERMAN R. DeLANCEY Literary 1 Blue and White Staff 2, 3 Senior “Blue And White” Staff Vice President 2 Manager of Boys’ Basket Ball Team 4 That hoy with the grave mathematical look, Made believe he had written a wonderful hook. Sherman DeLancev is the possessor of a versatile pen and an able artist’s brush. Ilis originality of thought ami his ability to express it hv word or picture are worthy of commendation. 13 MARY E. HUNCH Literary 3 May Day 1,2 Track I Merchant of Venice 2 Class Treasurer 4 Member of S. P. Q. R. Senior Class Play Senior “Blue And White” Staff Her air had a meaning, her movements a grace; You turned from the fairest to gaze on her face; Mary Hench has been with us but two years and in the first year she endeared herself to her classmates so much that they elected her class treasurer. Her ready smile and her ready automobile have made her a popular member of the class. She has taken an active interest in all school and class affairs. PAULINE S. Honor Student Secretary and Treasurer Class 2 Vice. Pres.

P. Q. R. 4 Student Council 3, 4 Sec’v. of Student Council 3, 4 1 tell you, I rather gu ss, She was a wonder and nothing less. (lifted with the power of holding an audience spell-hound, Pauline iiombach has brought home the bacon in more than one oratorical and declamation contest. Though not a Jaek-of-all-trades, she is mistress of many. Good ’scess to her. EDWARD N. JONES Literary 1, 2, 3, 4 Base Ball 1, 2, 3, 4 Tennis 2 Boys’ Octette 4 Mixed Chorus 4 Senior Class Play Donor (Class Day) 4 Operetta 4 Senior Jazz Orchestra Senior “Blue And White” Staff And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon. In Edward Jones we have a fellow so nimble and graceful on his feet that girls fight for the chance to dance with him. Jones is oblivious to all of that. He dances with a certain Freshman girl most of the time. But who can blame him? 16 GERALD M cNAUGII TON Class President 3, 4 Literary L 2, 3, 4 Boys’ Octette 3, 4 M ixed Chorus 4 Blue and White Staff 2, 3, 4 Editor-in-Chief !’ Blue and White 4 Editor-in-Chief of Senior Blue and White Student Council L 2, 3, 4 President of Student Courcil 4 Orchestra 1, 2 Declamation Contest 2 Operetta 4 Minstrel Show 4 Class Day Orator 3, 4 And everywhere that Mary went. The lamb was sure to go. Long ago “Jerry” McNaughton oroved conclusively his ability to fill the hill when a student of executive ability was needed to head some school organization. Consequently he holds the office of president in three high school organizations. He has also been active in dramatics. 17 FRANK M. MITCHELL Literary 3 Wearer of Athletic “N” 2, 4 Base Ball 2, 3, 4 Class Basket Ball 3 The reason firm, the temperate will Endurance, foresight, strength and skill. Here we have another printer. His name is Mitchell. Fully as capable as his co-worker Baker, he has helped to spread the name and fame of the Senior Class over the countryside. Mitchell has a mind of his own, but it’s generally running in a direction opposite that of to whomever he is talking. 18 Literary 1, 2 Senior “Blue And White” Staff Who, with a natural instinct to discern, What knowledge can perforin, is diligent to learn. Despite the similarity of names, Gladys is not the printer Mitchell's sister. Gladys has been an industrious and faithful member of tin class for the last five years. Someone has said that when French pajiers are corrected, her work is examined at least five times. 19 HELEN 0. MOGEL Honor Student Literary 1, 2, 3, 4 Wearer of Honor “N” 1, 2, 3, 4 Declamation Contest 1, 2, 3 Senior Class Play Class Day 4 Blue and’ White Staff 3, 4 Senior “Blue And White” Staff Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 Girls’ Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4 Senior Jazz Orchestra Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4 May Day 1 Mixed Chorus 1, 4 Basket Ball team 2, 3, 4 Track Team 1, 2, 3, 4 Tennis 1, 2 Class Basket Ball Team 3 Member of S. P. Q. R. 4 Class President 1 Minstrel Show 4 Class Dav 4 To hear her sing, to hear her sing, It is to hear the birds of Spring. “Cv” Mogel never sat down and waited for things to “come her way.” Not on your life! She went after them and she generally got them. That has always been Helen’s attitude in studies, class activities, athletics, music and dramatics. If the past signifies the future, the tea leaves should prophecy well of her. 20 MARIK B. OREN Literary 1, 2, 3, 4 Secretary 3 Senior “Blue And White Staff Assistant Librarian of Public Library 4 Her eyes were deeper than the depth Of waters stilled at even. Slightness of stature, an infectious laugh, bobbed hair and a leaning toward “wild west novels are Marie Iren’s chief attributes. Say ing little, doing much, has been her custom and her unfailing, unfalt ering loyalty to the class has been an inspiration to all. ANNA C. RICE Operetta 1,2,3,4 Literary 1, 2, 3, 4 Girls’ Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4 Orchestra 3, 4 Declamation 2, 3 May Day 1 Class Day 4 Senior Class Play Blue and White Staff 3, 4 Senior “Blue And White” Staff Class Baket Ball Team 3 Indian Dance Senior Jazz Orchestra Class Poet 4 Minstrel Show 4 Member of S. P. Q. R. A form more fair, a face more sweet. Ne’er has it been my lot to meet. It takes Anna Rice to put the pep and life into things. She tickles the ivories like a professional and when she plays it’s impossible to keep one’s feet still. The “Senior Seven” was organized by her. Anna writes poetry, but for the printer instead of the press. 22 II. ALBERT STEPHENS Literary 1, 3 Track 3 Senior “Blue And White” Stall Senior Class Play Minstrel Show 4 That hoy we call “Doctor” and this we call “Judge”; It's a neat little fiction—of course it’s all fudge. When we think of Albert Stephens, we think of him as “The Commissioner” or “The Senator.” The latter comes from his excellent portrayal of a senator in the Senior play. Rumor has it that “Steve” emerged from his most reeert love affair with a broken heart —either a case of “puppy love” or “poppy spank.” 23 PAULINE P. STEPHENS Literary 1, 2, 3 Class Basket Ball Team 3 Track 1, 2, 3 Declamation 1, 2, 3 May Day 1 Member of S. P. Q. R. Work, work, work, Till the eyes are heavy and dim! Pauline Stevens has been a faithful student. She spends much time with her books. She was one of the two Seniors who took the state examination. Her work has been consistent throughout her high school course. 24 Edward Stidfole is our basket ball star. He has been a varsity player since be was in the eighth grade. Stidfole also holds down first sack on the base ball team. He attributes his athletic prowess to an immense cud of “chewing gum’’ he carries in his right cheek in games. ELIZABETH TUCKER Literary 1, 2, 3 Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 Girls’ Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4 Minstrel Show 4 ()peretta 1,2, 3, 4 Class Basket Ball Team 3 May Day 1 Treasurer 3 N. II. S. Librarian 4 Senior “Blue And White” Stall' Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. The capable young lady in charge of the High School Librnrv the past year is Elizabeth Tucker. We call her “Lib. Yes. “Lib” says she will never be a preacher’s wife. But shucks—women are so fickle. 26 ELMER E. TURNBAUGH Base Ball Team 1, 2, 3,4 Manager of Base Ball Team 3, 4 Track 2, 3, 4 Basket Ball 1, 3, 4 Blue and White Staff 4 Senior “Blue And White” Staff Love to chawnk green apples, go swimmin’ in the lakes Hate to take the castor ile they give for belly ache! Turnbaugh plays a good game of basket ball, a better one of base ball and excells in track. He’s a good all-round athlete. “Turnery” has an eye for business, so he has officiated as Business Manager of the Blue and White during the year. 27 MARTIN A. WRIGHT Literary 1, 3 N. H. Orchestra 4 Senior “Blue And White” Staff There’s a boy, we pretend, with a three decker brain, That could harness a team with a logical chain. Martin Wright just “shines” in mathematics. He dotes on intricate problems that “stump” the class. Although mathematics is his specialty, he spends much time on his other subjects. Martin’s quiet and reserve have won for him the respect of the class. 28 COMMENCEMENT Class of ’25, what does the word, Commencement mean to you? It means the starting out in life —the real beginning of the future. We leave our dear N. H. S. with sad regrets but we have glowing hopes for the coming years. Never has the world so needed the best efforts of its citizens and the cooperation of its forces. There is much depending upon us and much expected of us—we are the hope of the world. All eyes are focused upon those who must prepare to become efficient and able citizens of to-morrow. Above all we have striven to maintain the high standard of our him Mater and have tried to advance her good name in every way. Her doors are now closed to us, classmates, and commencement approaches which will take us into many fields of life. Can we accomplish nohlv the part in life which is allotted to us? We may, by the wise appliance of our faculties, by striving to become true men and women and by moulding a staunch, commendable character. Helen Mogel SCHOOL SPIRIT I i our high school auditorium we have many trophies which were won by different teams and individuals of our student body. These ro'.hies were not acquired by simply reaching out for them but much effort was put forth. Besides the wonderful effort put forth by those particular persons or groups of persons we had our cheering teams to urga them on to victory. It is all too true that we have had school spirit in the past years but was the spirit of the best? I believe each member of N. II. S. will agree with me when I say that on many occasions it could have been improved. Some one may ask how this could be true? Well to glance at our school and at the spirit shown during some event it may be hard to find many flaws; but to enter deeper into the subject you will find several instances where improvements could be made. If every person is agreed to: in the first place always be ready and willing to serve when called upon. No person will ask you to do anything you are not capable of doing. Secondly if you have any talent along any lines show them whenever and whenever you can. All our teams such as truck, base-ball and basketball as well as declamers are chosen from a large number of contestants. Does it not stand to reason that if every person with ability along these 29 THE BLUE AND WHITE 30 linos would try out for the various teams that the standards of the various teams would be raised. There is no room for argument. Finally, if you are one of those poor souls that are not blessed along the linos of dramatics, music, literary or athletics there is still a place for you with the cheering squad, cheering your representatives on to victory. Let us go over the top next year with the best school spirit ever. O. J. M. WORK YOUR OWN WAY Be somebody on your own account, my son or daughter, and don’t try to get along on the reputation of your ancestors. Nobody knows and nobody cares who Adam’s grandfather was, and there is not a man or woman living who can tell the name of Brigham Young’s mother-in-law. Keep up with the every day procession and do not pull back in the harness. Hard work never was known to kill a single person; it was the fun that they had in the intervals that killed them. The fact is, most people have yet to learn what fun really is. A man or woman may go to Europe and spend a thousand dollars, and then recall the fact that they had a great deal more fun at a picnic twenty years ago that cost them just sixty-five cents. The theory that the world owes a man or woman a living is false. The world owes us nothing. There is a living in the world for every person, however, provided that we are willing to work for it. If we do not work for it somebody else will earn it and the lazy person “will get left.” There are great opportunities for people who like to work. There is an old saying, “Do well what you do, or do not do it at all,” and it is my wish and hope that we keep on with our success, thereby proving ourselves more worthy of things. You who are following us, strive to succeed even though you have to work hard. It is worth while and will get you somewhere some day. (lladvs M itchell DON’T GET DISCOURAGED Commencement time is here once more. A period of happiness yet a time of saddness; happiness for those who have labored and gained the goal, for which they sought, saddness for those who struggle ! yet, seemingly have struggle ! in vain. To you, fellow school-mates, who have not yet quallified yourselves to the standards necessary for obtaining that longed-for goal, I say, “don’t get discouraged.” Discouragement is one of tin greatest causes for failure in life. Don’t say, “It is no use” because you have failed. Failure does not mean that you will not succeed; for strive as we may we must all meet failure and look it squarely in the face. Remember, that the lessons learned during the struggle toward any goal, and the ups and downs one must encounter, are valuable and stand for exjierience. There is an axiom which says, “It is human to err.” So THE BLUE AND WHITE 31 knowing this to ho inevitable, why repine or he discouraged? Rather say, if that goal can be reached, I am going to reach it. And with the poet sing: Let come what will, 1 mean to bear it out. And either live with glorious victory, Or die with fame, renowned for chivalry. He is not worthy of the honey-comb, That shuns the hives because the bees have stings. Emma 0. Boswell Just A Joke This was Kathleen’s third year in college. Her parents were poor and she had worked hard for this opportunity. Being a very shy girl, naturally she had made only a few friends. But could they really be called friends? No. for they were selfish girls who thought of themselves first and came to Kathleen if there was any help she could give them. She was especially lonely tonight because they had all gone to a Fraternity Dance. Why hadn’t she been asked? Couldn’t she dance as well as any one of them? Why didn’t they like her? Suddenly an idea struck her. The papers were ringing with praises of young Bob Kennedy, the football hero of Yale. Why couldn’t she cut his picture from the paper and tell the girls he sent it to her? “What in the world is wrong with me? How would I dare do such a thing?” she laughed. But still why not? She had always been shy and lonely and why not have some fun? Besides no one would ever suspect the truth. Suiting the action to the word she hurriedly cut the picture from the paper, and disguising her handwriting wrote herself a letter signing Bob’s name. The next morning the girls were grouped at the lower end of the hall talking about their good time of the night before, when Kathleen came slowly down the hall reading a letter. As she drew near the girls she blushed, hastily put the letter in the envelope and making believe she was putting it in her pocket, left it fall in front of them. No sooner had she turned the corner, than Helen, the ringleader of this bunch of girls picked the letter up and read it. “Why the very idea!” she cried. “To think that Boh would ever write to a little prude like her. You know I went with him myself and—0 say, lets turn the joke on Kathleen. I know that Bob never wrote to her. Lets invite Bob and his sister here for the week end. Then we will introduce Boh to Kathleen and the laugh will he on her. Accordingly the very next day a letter was sent to Bob’s sister inviting her and Boh for the week end explaining they wished to play a joke on Kathleen Dupont who had told them Bob wrote to her and sent his picture. Friday evening the girls went into Kathleen’s room to break 32 THE BLUE AND WHITE the news of Bob’s arrival. She was nowhere to be found. “She has gone downstairs. Come on girls,” cried Helen. Sure enough there she stood alone at one of the large windows. At this moment Bob Kennedy and his sister entered the door. Jealousy flashed in Helen’s dark eyes and a smile of scorn curled her lip as she pictured to herself Kathleen’s embarresinent. “Mr. Kennedy,” she said, “I’d like you to meet a friend of yours, Miss Dupont.” Quickly Kathleen raised her head. Her heart almost stood still with fear for there in front of her stood the wonderful football star, Bob Kennedy. “() why had she lied to the girls? What would lie think of her? ” She felt the deepest embarrassment as she slowly raised her eyes to his. But what was he saying? Had she heard aright? Surely he hail said he and Kathleen were old friends and could they please be alone a few moments. She saw the amazement in the faces of the girls and the startled expression in Helen’s eyes. As they walked out on the veranda she shyly raised her eyes to him. “() why did you do it? Somehow you knew I lied. Why did you try to save me from embarrassment?” “I’ll tell you,” he said. “My sister accidently left that letter lying open on my desk, and I just couldn’t resist the temptation to read it. When 1 saw that these girls were going to play a joke on you, 1 thought I would turn the joke on them. Anyway I’m not sorry 1 did, for if I hadn’t I would never have found you.” After this Kathleen was always a very popular girl and no more did she have to stay home from dances and parties, for handsome Bob Kennedy was her escort. —Finis. Anna Rice ’25 CLASS SONG We are the class of twenty-five, Oh N. H. S., we stand together, For thee we’ll raise our jovous song of praise, “It’s N. H. S. forever.” Chorus: Twenty-five! Twenty-five! We are the class of twenty-five, Twenty-five! Twenty-five! In school, on field and track we strive. Twenty-five! Twenty-five! Here’s to the maroon and steel! Here’s to the class of twenty-five! Mtnlc by Pauline Hombach Words by John Adams THE BLUE AND WHITE 33 PROPHECY 1 dipped into the future far as the human eye could see; And saw the Vision of the Class and all the wonders that would be. Believe the truths that I shall tell For from the heart of ’21) there fell These lines, mottoes of the heart, And list! I’ll read them ere we jHirt. This heart contains wishes for only the noblest and most difficult achievements that a man could desire. We can imagine John Adams with only great projects in his mind—to build a college for painless dentistry or to found a pedagogical institution for the theoretical elucidation of Australian bush men. However if in several years from tonight you will pick up a Republican newspaper, in bold headlines you will see how John Adams, U. S. Senator, influenced all his brother Senators to put across some issue just as he used to try to master his classmates. We are glad to state that we were not so easily won and that he rarely walked Over our heads aloft, With tender feet treading so soft. This next heart I show is that of a miss so sweet with the blush of bashfulr.ess. But Gladys (Mitchell) will soon lay aside this shyness and assume the dignities of a pedagogue. Her devotion, graciousness, and love will soon win their way into the hearts of her pupils. And it is wispered about too that Homer is looking for a devoted, gracious, and loving little school-teacher. Tick! tick! tick! don’t mistake this noise for that of heart throbs. It is but the cheery tune that Mary’s (Hench) typewriter plays as she proceeds with her work. Advancing steadily, we now see her seated beside the boss’ desk. Shall I step forward and ask him to say a few words to the Class of ’25 about Mary?—“Of all the girls that are so smart, there’s none like pretty Mary.” I wish you could see what is drawn all over this heart both inside and out—boats and aeroplanes, models, landscape in bold outline, pictures of lovers in quiet spots, and cartoons of the faculty true to life. Sherman’s (DeLancey) unusual talent for drawing combined with his originality of thought, two attributes every successful artist needs, will place him on one of the highest steps of Art’s ladder Then with his drawing, this boy, the smartest, Will win for himself a name among artists. If hard work and plenty of effort stand for aught, Pauline Stephens should have an unfailing store of knowledge. Let us peer for a moment into her future. Seale ’ before her pupils we see the same 34 THE BLUE AN1) WHITE geniality and deliberateness evidenced which we beheld in those (lays in N. H. S. She receives one little chap with a loving caress, to another she grants a request, and assistance she gives to still another with a puzzling question. And so with unwearied enthusiasm, she gives her life to others. Here is an ambitious lad with heaps of push and prowess. As a result of these enviable characteristics, we see him the distinguished owner of a large drug store. Hows of articles neatly arranged with every thing from cornplasters to hair dyes, cases of dainties which cause your purses to stir about in their hiding places and up-to-dateness personified, could have been planned by only ONE—“.Jerry” (McNaughton). And listen! Bachelor Hall will never claim this fascinating lad as an inmate. Perhaps it isn’t fair to tell the secrets that this heart doth hold; but they present such a fascinating picture that 1 couldn’t resist the temptation. Living together in a cozy little cot, hid in a nest of roses with a fairy garden spot we find two faithful sweethearts. The one we immediately recognize by her loving voice and sunny disposition as our own Helen (.Mogel). If you will but draw nearer with me, perhaps we can hear what it is that the other is whispering in her ear. “As Riley puts it, dear, ‘1 shall be your lover for ever and a day and you, my faithful sweetheart till your golden hair is gray.’ ” Here is a mathematical heart, Which in the world of finance will play its part. Martin (Wright) is the class magician with figures. The company which is fortunate enough to secure the services of his mathematical brain may rest assured. 2 — 4 — b — 8 Whom do we appreciate! Martin! Mm!—mm! the savory oders of pies, and cakes, and spice, and pudding, and jelly, 'n everything nice that comes from this heart. Mary (Cams) is a wise little girl for she knows the best way to win ’em is through their stomachs. So whether with this end in view or whether as a teacher to help girls everywhere to make better housewives Mary will study Home Economics, we aren’t sure. May fortune favor you. Success is not always found in the throb and glare of city life. John Buckwalter with keen foresight has perceived the possibilities with which Losh’s Run is teeming, lie sees it not in its present minuteness but as a thriving town along this line. Then he beholds himself the most prominent citizen in the town of his dreams— the president of the ('handier of Commerce, Chief of the Village Eire Brigade, Justice of the Peace, Squire, Constable and Village Postmaster. The Class of THE BLUE AX1) WHITE 35 ’25 wishes you much success in the fulfillment of your desires. Pretty to walk with, Witty to talk with And pleasant to think on, too is the whimsical possessor of this heart. This is the sentiment of many a masculine mind when In has seen Anna (Rice). Altho she may continue her studies in some higher institution of learning, before many years have rolled away, 1 can see her resigning membership in the Society of Bachelor Maids of the Ringless Third Finger and accepting membership in the League of America’s Newly-Weds. When Elmer Turnhaugh’s a man he’s gonna he a sailor And Lewis Baker, lie’s gonna be a tailor. Frank Mitchell he’s gonna be a stylish carriage maker And when Stidfole grows to he a great big man lie’s gonna be a baker. And then Turnie will order his sailor suit from “Loui” An«l “Loui” will take it and buy as nice a double rig As ever “Mitch” can make it. And then all three will drive around for “Stidy” They’ll drive off together a slinging pie crust by the way Forever and forever. “I don’t want to get well ’cause I’m in love with a charming nurse.” This is the tune the patients in Marie Oren’s ward keep singing all day. No wonder with such a capable and cheerful nurse! Many is the heart that will nearly burst with love and gratitude us she helps them back to a l ew life of health. As I considered this heart and the ideas it cherished most, I saw a certain something in its look, a certain scholar-like and studious something. We shall someday be proud to boast of Emma (Boswell) as a classmate when she will have drawn all the world to her feet in admiration of her literary work! When she will have won for herself a place among authoresses which shall occasion envy. To the wail of a “sax” and the wild beat of the tom-tom a smart looking chap is seen to advance to the front of the stage, feet rapidly moving in time with the music, hands outstretched to maintain his balance and his lithe body alive with the pulsations of the spasmodic music. With several peppery taps of the toe he vanishes. In answer to a thunder of applause he encores and as I lean forward to catch a glimpse of so great an artist,'ue allows a smile to adorn his lips which I recognize as that of my old school mate, Edward Jones. There is a peculiar rvthm to the throbs of this heart. But ♦lien they say “that music hath charms to sooth the savage breast.” Eliz- 36 THE BLUE AND WHITE abeth (Tucker) will be a winner as a musical directress for never “sharp, ’ and never “flat,” but always “natural” she cannot fail to win a place in her pupils’ hearts. Here is the Blue-ribbon winner of our merry crowd. Imbued with an acute ability of management, lie will someday lx the prosperous owner ot a fine country estate. “Albert Stephens” will lx a name whispered among all agricultural circles. For after a few years of scientific study at State , Steve will be prepared to outshine all others with his fine breeds and products. But ’2. ) will not be forgotten in the midst of his fame. Oft the spacious halls of his mansion will ring with the voices of “that old gang of his.” Now I have told you the future of this Class from the hearts of each ot its members. e think we are a versatile group with everything from senators to sailors. So in parting I shall say “(Jod hies, you, ’25 always.” Pauline Hombach Prophecy For Pauline Hombach Looking into tin future I can see Pauline llomlmch an honorary graduate of college. She will then enter the teaching profession where she will win great love and esteem among her pupils. However teaching will not be her life work. I can picture her now in a cozy little “love nest” with the man of her choice. It is very evident that sin will have a happy future. II. (i M ’25 37 THE BLUE AND WHITE “OUR OPTIMISM” To the optimistic is a fine trait which each one of us here to-nite should try to develop. It is the optimistic person who always finds the best and brightest side of everything in life. Perhaps you may ask me why! This is my answer. An optimist is a character bubbling over with love, happiness and all those splendid inspirations which make a happier world. An optimist is one of hope, not one of gloom and despair. lie has learned that hope is a better companion than fear. He has the sense and wit to realize and to agree with the author of these homely stanzas, which have caught perfectly the spirit that succeeds in the rough and tumble of actual life that: If the day looks kinder gloomy, Anti your chances kinder slim, If the situations puzzlin’, Anti the prospects awful grim, If perplexities keep pressin’. Till hope is nearly gone, .lust bristle up anti grit your teeth. Anti keep on keepin' on. Erettin’ never wins a fight. And fumin’ never pays; There ain’t no use in broodin'. In these pessimistic ways; Smile just kinder cheerfully, Though hope is nearly gone. Anil bristle up anti grit your teeth. Ami keep on keepin’ on. There ain’t no use in growlin’. Ami grumblin’ all the time. When music’s ringing everywhere; Ami everythings’ a rhyme, Just keep on smilin’ cheerfully, If hope is nearly gone, And bristle up anti grit your teeth. Anil keep on keepin’ on. What more could anyone do. when drifting through the turbulent sea of misfortune, than to keep on fighting his way out, when an optimist should spring forth from the gloomy midst and sing such words of inspiration to him, for it is always the optimist who brightens the way, just as the glorious sun pressing through the black clouds overshadowing the heavens breaks forth anti beams down with its 38 THE BUTE AND WHITE cheerful countenance upon the drooping world below and finally illuminates all obscurity with its golden glory. The trouble is that many of us are not optimistic enough to realize that life often has surprise parties for us. That things always come out as a rule much better than we expected or dared hope. We forget that many things come to us marked in gloom and black, but Time, the revealer, strips off the disguise, and lo, what we have is happiness. It is happiness, 1 am glad to say that we Seniors possess to-nite. We are not only happy because we have reached that goal in a High School education, but also because we have been and are still optimistic enough to see that we are living in an age far advanced from that in which our fathers lived. For we are living in an age full of opportunities. And as members of the Class of ’25, we are resolved to take advantage of these chances and make not only ourselves happier bu also those with whom we may come in contact. Thus I am optimistic enough to believe that no matter what misfortune we may meet, we will always be aided and guided by these inspiring lines: When you’re up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace; When in vain you try to dodge it. Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer, See it through! Black may be the clouds about you, And your future may seem grim, But don’t let your nerves desert you; Keep yourself in fighting trim. Jf the worst is bound to happen, Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you. See it through! Even hope may seem but futile, When with trouble you’re beset, But remember you are facing Just what other men have met. You may fail, but fall still fighting; Don’t give up what’er you do; Eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through! Emma Boswell, ’25. TilK BLLR AND WIDTH 39 PESSIMISM Its human nature for jieople to crowd about a hunch of animals, that accounts for the most of you being here tonight, others came to laugh and amuse themselves at the expense of a class of “21 wouldbe conquerors and heros” whose days are limited and whose prospects of anything higher, are dead. But you are not to he disappointed, the freaks are still with us, and those that boasted of climbing the ladder of success, are still looking for the ladder. Those ladder seekers are 21 in number. I understand your situation and can’t say that I sympathize with any of you. Most of you men came because your wives dragged you here, others of you came to get out of her reach for a few hours. I dare say that the ladies here tonight came because of one great instinct—curiousity, to talk over last weeks scandal and see the new hat her neighbor bought and a hundred and one other subjects that only a woman can discuss. The 21 animals here tonight have about as bright a future as New port itself. While Newport is gradually falling into decay, the crowd here tonight will have their six feet of sod at tin expense of the cities of the U. S. There has been much talk about that trip to Washington,—well Singling Bros, transports more animals than were on that trip, his are not so ferocious however, so you see that trip won't make history, even though it should it would he “Ancient History” before the people here would know it. This trip furnished inspirations to a few but what’s an inspira-ion good for in a hunch like this. Since seeing the beautiful green lawn around the White House, John Adams wants to lx president. I think it best not to discourage him it may bring on a relapse, of course, you all know his chances. Why even if lie were president somebody would shoot him pretty quickly and then—well just another funeral for the taxpayers, lie says he wants to work his way up to tin presidency, so he starts by teaching school in Lancaster Co. Its only a matter of time until he’ll be running some kind of “medicine” or “side” show, and be in trout with his megaphone. Likely on the inside of his tent you will find 20 freaks, the same as are before you now. .John Buekwalter already has the appearance of a cheap polititian. lie rather reminds us of those politicians of the “Log Cabin period, lie didn’t journey with the rest of tin circus to Washington, lie claimed he couldn’t leave the Logania post-office where lie was postmaster, this shows he has already started on a cheap political life. It is my opinion he was afraid tin president would see him, recognize him, and take away his appointment, if lie has one. John says be will never leave Logania. so there you are—a bearded country postmaster com bined in a tree stump politician. 40 THE BLUE AND WHITE Emma Boswell is an honor student among those 20 others, but •'here there’s no competition honors don’t mean a thing, and what are honors in Newport, about as much as a fly on tin Woolworth Building. Of course, she thinks she earned something and is probably expecting pay tor third honors. But “She’’ is liable to contract small-pox along with the rest of us, the future sure is uncertain. I torgot to tell you peoplt before, that the entire 21 along with two guards that accompanied us are liable to be quarantined. Symptoms ot small-pox contracted while in Washington, have been noted on tin entire class. Of course, it will cost the town a lot of money, hut the survivors, if any, can be glad they were saved although, they say it terribly disfigures your face. Peroxide is ruinous to the scalp causing a total baldness after three years use, by experimenting upon lower animals this has been proved. ()1 course, Mary Cams doesn’t ust it, hut to these young girls, a word ot advice is never wrong. Mary expects to be designing the latest hats for Paris within a few years, but she can’t do it; it’s not “there,” taste is lacking. And furthermore when women become bald they will wear caps. Mary will be found likely in a “Jew” store somewhere measuring muslin instead of the latest headgear. II age counts in life, this class isn’t so far behind, but even at that, age, I believe is no good except to get into a home for tin aged. We have one fellow, who has applied for a pension, Sherman DeLancey. I guess that proves that Barnum was right. After spending one month at a training camp he is going to retire on the pension list, lie never worked and never will, and it the small-pox doesn’t get vou you'll see him running a poolroom on the former site of Newport. The citizens of Newport, or rather the council surely had an eye for beauty when they erected the magnificent semiphore in Center Square. But Wait! I didn’t say it was a good thing, ’cause it isn’t. Mary llench, driver of a Star, yes, curly headed, no, not natural, takes great delight in knocking the enamel from its sides. But everyone knows she’ll come to no good end, she can’t be allowed at large much longer. She thinks, or rather her parents think she might make a school teacher. Women teachers are all being ousted from their positions. The Victor Company has a waiting list of would be violinists, so you see the future of Pauline llomhach still remains blank. She imagines Hie has the powers of holding an audience spell-bound by her fluent tongue. But we know otherwise. She will likely sjH ml her energies, until pensioned, selling novelties by house to house canvas, or at best use her violin in attracting “street corner” crowds and by passing the hat to support herself, her family and her worthless husband. Edward Jones is another guy who doesn’t buy his own shoes, and anywhere there is music, he is seen shuffling his feet over the floor am! calling himself a dancer, lie even imagines he can make it his 41 THE BLUE AND WHITE profession. Well—if he does his wife will buy his shoes, but 1 rather think the county will pay for his entire upkeep. McNaughton is aspiring to lu a first class Pharmacist hut I have mv doubts that he can succeed as girls and drugs make an incompatible mixture. But he’s bull-headed and thinks lie can get by with it by adding soft soap to the mixture. If he does take the course in Pharmacy lie is contemplating, I’m warning you there’ll be a bunch of new undertakers and florists in Newport. Lots of dogs will bark at the moon, but Frank Mitchell is always to tired to hark; yet lie sits for hours and dreams of better days. He won’t be an astronimer, there’s work connected with that, lie's not even ambitious enough to “fire” a stationary engine. In a few months he’ll be earning his dinner by mending umbrellas by the moonlight. You’ll need no directory to find (Jladys Mitchell. Young—well you know—will be on every street, and as a further guide a sign over the door “Washing Done Here,” will point out her home. Tomorrow night, if your alive until then, and your wife lets you out, or you ladies if you can sneak from your husband that long, you will bear Newport’s first lady politician. May it he the last Helen Mogel is considering, if she doesn’t marry some worthless ma , a political career and has already selected her party. Of course, I won't say she’s not honest but there’s lots of crooked work in politics. Helen, .just to he unique, will get hooked up in some shady deal, and 1 really think, slfe would enjoy the notoriety of being jailed. You read daily of young girls, who, seeking Movie Fame, run away from home, fail, take poison, cut their throats, or some other horrible thing to end it all. Marie Oren has already planned her runaway, and we suppose the poison or something else will follow. Her parents wish her to teach school and I suppose she will, but she won’t stick, after she earns enough for carfare to Hollywood she’ll disappear, and the papers will tell the rest. Fingers tired from piano keyboards, a haggard face, scarcely enough to eat, tells well the story of a would be pianist. Anna Rice has dreams of playing for kings, or accompanying McCormick. Of course, they say that one should never waken a dreamer or a sleepwalker, because some of them become violent, so we’ll leave her to her dreams, and soon she’ll be having nightmares over her plight. An “ivory pounder” in a cheap dance hall or cabaret will be her limit. Bearded, so one can scarcely set his face, wearing horn-rim glasses driving a Fort I of the 11KK) series and marketing rotten potatoes to the neople of Newport, is Albert Stephens' idea of becoming a merchant farmer. Ilis accomplishments thus far in the world are invisible and there is poor chance for him to make himself anti his power felt without more ambition, and they don’t sell ambition across the counter. An early death from overeating will end Pauline Stephens’ ambitions of being a woman educator. Tlmddeus Stephens to whom sin 42 THE BLUE AND WHITE claims relationship wasn’t eating all the time, and thus had some time for accomplishing his work, but who believes that she’s related to 1 haddeus, ami even though she were she couldn’t stop eating long enough to do anything worthwhille. Another pensioner—never worked and doesn’t intend to, Edward Stidiole, spent one month at Camp Meade, a few more loafing at Crow's Kerry and imagines Uncle Sam ought to support him, buy his tobaccco, and find him a wife. Why, even if we had a good government it could never do this. A hobo, a knight of the road and in a home for the aged at 25 will he this soldier’s fate. The Washington Monument was too high for Elizabeth Tucker, imagine her then climbing the ladder of success. Vet, she doesn’t want to be called a weakling and has ideas of becoming a physical director. ould you let your children be trained under her supervision, have you no aspirations for their future? Well the whole universe is coming to a quick end, either by fire or water, and “Libby” will swing her dumbells in the county home. Scandal, breach of promise suits, divorce proceedings are predicted for the “chaser” of this gang. At most all track meets Elmer Tun baugh does the “chasing” and a few times he almost caught tin other fellow. I’m warning you men, if you are ever annoyed by this vandal’s attentions to your wives, start proceedings and put him earlv where lie’s bound to go later, “behind the bars.” The last animal of this collection is the least, his environment the past four years has worked mighty wonders and Martin Wright is now the same slow moving mechanical machine as the other 1!). lie figures on higher accountancy, like these others who are also figuring on some occupation high or low. But woe to the employer who gets him, a fire extinguisher would be a better investment. And so along with the rest he’ll fall in line for a free lunch. 1 guess you’re all sleeping by now, but I expected as much, it's the nature of Newport people, so snore on. To these people, who pinched themselves to keep awake, hoping 1 would tell them some choice gossip, 1 can say you’re “stung.” Probably, you will see better days, but most likely you won’t, few people live that long. So, if by chance, a hobo should stop you, an umbrella peddler should ask for business, or any other walking shadow should meet you and exhibit bis sole remains, a ring of ’25, give him either “the bounce” as be deserves, feed him bread and water, cage him, or phone the zoo. 11 is keeper will call immediately. Lewis Baker. Lewis Baker’s Pessimism Lewis Baker aspires to be another lawyer like Harrow who could say that he had never lost a case. Now I don’t want to worry him or THE BLUE AND WHITE 43 anything but lit will never make a success as a lawyer although lie may have the “gift of gab.” I would advise him to remain in the printing business. Of course far be it from me to be pessimistic but if lie isn’t careful be will be kicked out of there too. Let us all hope that he will never marry for if he does his wife will have to support him. 11. (1.

Brother Elks On the evenings of March 1G and 17, the Senior Class presented “Brother Elks,” a comedy in three acts, under the direction of Prof, iheo McCracken. The action was staged in the interior of a Massachusetts Clubhouse. A hustling but luckless young man, Walt Woodward, is very much in love with Jen Eddington but is too poor to get married. Every enterprise he undertakes draws him deeper and deeper in debt. He goes io a Brother Elk, Judge Evans, explains the situation and together t.iey devise a scheme to raise the necessary funds. It is a perfectly honest and strictly legitimate business proposition, but it has had no precedent — to issue stock and corporate Walt as is done in the case of a company. With fear and trembling they put the plan into operation a.id the two Elks find themselves involved in the business affairs of a syndicate of wealthy men and at the same time entangled in the love affairs of half a dozen young women. After succeeding to bluff the former and side-step the latter, Walt proves himself a successful business man and wins Jen as his bride. Edward Jones as Walt Woodward slipped into the adventures and misadventures of his character with remarkable ease. Gerald McNaughton as Judge Evans succeeded in completely abandoning his youthful traits and adopting the eccentricities of a benevolent and venerable old man. Mary Cams as Mayme Mullreneen, Anna Rice as Mazie Kendal and Helen Mogel as Blanche Kendal were perfect types of the modern girl. Shrewdness, practicability and sagacity! To the audence Albert 45 THE BLUE AND WHITE 4(j Stephens as Senator Dowling, John Buekwalter as Young Martin Young and John Adams as Jim Kendal were synonyms for these characteristics which every capable business man wishes to possess. Elizabeth Tucker as Mrs. Badcliff was a typical “social climber” and leader of the events of the Club. Mary Bench as Ellen was a dutiful and most attractive maid. Lewis Baker as Old Martin oung played tin most difficult part on the Cast, a decrepid old man, who had lost his hearing, lie admirably portrayed his character and made the hit of the evening. Pauline Hombach, as Jen Eddington, the young woman in whom A tilt oodward was greatly interested, represented her character with wonderful ease and grave. (H.tl.M.) The Class Play wj is one of the most successful pinnicles of our four years and proved to be a great success. The attractiveness of the stage, the capability of the members of the Cast, and tin u tiring efforts of our Dramatic Coach, Prof. McCracken, all assisted i 11 making “Brother Elks” one of the most elaborate and best productions of its kind ever presented to Newport. Standing—PAULINE HOMBACH, HELEN MOGEL, GERALD WATSON. Sitting—MARY CARNS. ANNA RICE. THELMA RICKENBAUGH EDWARD JONES. The Senior Jazz Orchestra, although an active organization for only several months, had a successful season appearing on tin following programs, in addition to minor engagements: Music Week, “In the Darden of the Shah,” and Class Day. These musicians won for themselves much praise as Newport’s most accomplished “spasm spreaders.” “In tin Garden of the Shah” was presented by the members of tin High School musical clubs on May 7 and 8 under the direction of Miss (iladys Huber, musical directress. At the rising of the curtain the interior of a delightfully decorated Persian Garden was revealed. The tranquility of this scene was disturbed when two dashing young American mining engineers arrived and fell in love with the daughters of the Shah. In spite of their Royal Papa’s opposition, there was a triple wedding “In the Garden of the Shah.” The alluring setting, the charm of the princesses and maids in waiting, and the gallant American lovers, made the operetta so fascinating that it was emphatically dubbed a “success.” CAST OF CHARACTERS Holdall_________________Madolyn Miller Zohdah___________________________Helen Mogel Nowabeth_______________________Kathryn Ickes Ted Harding________________Donald Fry Billy Cummings_____Gerald McNaughton Samuel Johnson Jackson_____John Sweger Perunah__________________Edward Jones Somecraba______________Claude Gardner Chorus of Girls The S.

Though you may reach the goal, You won’t be fit. to welcome it. Weigh first its awful toll. And some make life a “hundred yards.” A race so quickly run, That runners cross the finish tape So fast they beat the gun. Don’t make your life a hurried dash. Life has too much to give.

Marie Oren THE CLASS AT GETTYSBURG On Friday, May 21, Prof, and Mrs. Theo McCracken chaperoned a party of Seniors on a trip to Gettysburg Battlefield. Four cars carried the sight seers to the town of Gettysburg, where they procured a guide. The guide conducted them over the battlefield and national cemetery, explaning various points of interest and giving them a general idea of the battle that was fought. At noon they spread their lunch on the ground, picnic fashion, but before they finished eating a shower precipitated a rush to the ears. In mid-afternoon the tour ended and the Seniors drove back to Gettysburg and visited the Jennie Wade House, where they bought souvenirs. On the way home they stopped at Dillsburg for supper, and in Ihe evening at Harrisburg where they attended a theatre. John S. Adams Last year the readers of the “Blue White” were fortunate enough to find in the Alumni Department, a list of graduates dating haek to 1887. To the younger graduates and the undergraduates, this probably was not interesting, but to the older ones who have passed from these halls it was a delight and recalled pleasant memories. This year this list could not be improved, so was not printed, it would have been merely repetition. Next year when tin Commencement number appears, I hope that this list may he improved upon and again published.

Review Of Boys’ Basket Ball The season of 1924-1925 was a good one for the N. H. S. boys, when the fact is considered that no floor was obtainable in Newport and of the seven games lost not o.:e was outdoors. In other words THE HU E AND WHITE 61 with teams playing on tlu same basis of court and practice, Newport could not be stopped. Altogether seventeen games were played bv the Newport aggregation, in which they ran up a total of 473 points in contrast to the 361 points scored by their various opponents. The Blue and White team’s games were played by the same five men, Stidfole, Frank, Trout, Slmrar, and Turnbaugh. Two of the games lost went to Mercersburg and Mahaffey and another to the Tressler Orphan’s Home. The high school teams in the county that defeated Newport were: Millerstown, Marysville, New Bloomfield and Duncannon, each of these quintettes winning one game. The lack of a playing floor was keenly felt by the team and the results of their indoor games, as stated above, are easily explained. Not that they would have won them all but at least they may not have lost all. The following is a list of the 1 games played and the scores of each. door.

The Blue and White sextette played a total of sixteen games and lost but two. On of the games lost was with an independent team of Millers-burg comprised of several alumnae players. Therefore we can say 62 THE BLUE AND WHITE that in 15 games with High School teams we lost but one and that was with the Edison Junior High School girls by 7 points. At first tin game was rather one sided but the N. II. S. girls hv their splendid team work made the final score 22-29. Two of the remaining were tie games with Blain and Marysville. The Blain game was the first of the season resulting in a tit which was not played off as the darkness prevented. The next twelve games resulted in victories and then Edison spoiled the clean sweep for the Blue and White squad. Mogel and Hombach, both forwards as well as Seniors, scored all of the points during the year except 2 which were caged by eiders, a sub.

The subs were Bitner, Campbell, Keim, Snyder and A. Ilombach. Miss Huber, the coach of the Blue and White squad deserves much credit for her faithful attention and interest in her team. She was an inspiration and a help to her girls and they all appreciate her efforts. Can You Imagine: Miss Huber—not urging her girls to victory. Ilombach—missing foul goals? Mogel—not riding the little girls? Loiter—being out.jumped ? Saucerman—not flirting with the big boys? Iekes- holding peace with Cook ? Stidfole—throwing tin ball within bounds? PERRY COUNTY TRACK ND FIELD MEET Newport won the Perry County Track and Field Meet for the fourth consecutive year, scoring 119?, points. The boys’ team was the strongest that ever represented the Newport High School. Their speed and excellent work may be attributed to training.

DOROTHY ZEIDERS, PAULINE HOMBACH, HELEN MOGEL, RUTH SAUCERMAN. GIRLS’ TRACK Newport lli li School won the Perry County Field Meet for the fourth consecutive year, scoring 1 l!)i points. Last year being the third year which Newport won the cup, this trophy was retained permanently. This year a new cup was contested for the winning of which proved a big victory for the local school. Although N. II. S. did not have a contestant to send to Bloom-held she won three times as many points as any other school on the track. The Meet was also a record breaker, Dorothy Zeiders lowering the previous records and winning three first places and tying for another first. The time in the 50 yard dash being lowered one second; the 65 yard dash was reduced one and three fifths seconds; the girls’ running broad jump raised to 16.8 from 14 feet made last year. Florence Ulsh raised the girls’ standing broad jump from 6 feet 9J inches to 8 feet. Florence Fish was high scorer and Dorothy Zeiders a very close second. The summary of the track events are as follows:— 50 yard dash (girls)—first, Zeiders; second, Ulsh; third, Hom-bach, all of Newport. Time 6 1-5 seconds. 65 THE BLUE AND WHITE 66 65 yard dash (girls)—first Zeiders, second Ulsh, third Hom-bach, all of Newport. Time 8 1-5 seconds. Basket Ball Throw (girls)—first Ulsh, Newport; second Briner, Bloomfield; third Brady, Marysville. Distance 63 feet. Shuttle Relay—first Newport (Hombach, Zeiders, Ulsh, Mogel, Murphy, Saucerman, Sharar and Freeland); second, Landisburg; third Marysville. Time 58 seconds. llop, Step and Jump—Zeiders and Ulsh, Newport, tied. Distance 21.7 feet. Standing Broad Jump (girls)—first Ulsh, Newport; second, Zeiders, Newport; third Hoover, Duncannon. Distance 8 feet. Running Broad Jump (girls)—First, Zeiders, Newport; second Ulsh, Newport and third Mark, Marysville. Distance 16.8 feet. This great victory for the girl’s track team is attributed almost entirely to strict training. I feel safe in saying every girl on the team ate at least one sundae and a half pound of candy as well as pie and cake after the meet. Try for yourself if you don’t believe that it is hard to do without these good things for a month. There were many other rules which were just as hard to obey but the girls proved on Field Day what training means and how important it is in winning that cup. We are proud to see that cup reposing so peacefully and tranquilly upon the pedestal and we surely believe with proper training and cooperation of the track participants this cup will be the permanent property of the N. H. S. Points scored by schools.

L. Price left Newport Wednesday morning, May 13 on the “7.49” for Washington, I). C. At Harrisburg the party was forced to wait one hour to make connections. They arrived at Washington at one o’clock and took a bus to the Hotel Metropolitan. Having lunched on the train, they left for the national capitol immediately after being assigned rooms. The tour of the capitol was both interesting and instructive, over an hour being spent there under the tutelage of a guide. The party then took a bus and toured the city of Washington until time for dinner, THE BLUE AND WHITE G7 making a ten minute stop-at the Lincoln Memorial. This tMlilice, enclosing Daniel Chester French’s statue of Lincoln, elicited many apprec-intive comments from the Seniors. AT YORK ON WAY TO WASHINGTON Alter dinner they visited the Congressional Library where the early part of the evening was spent in looking at the many beautiful exhibits. In this building, as in all, examination could only be cursory, due to limited time. The party then enjoyed a fine vaudeville preform-anee at Keith’s “Rialto.” On Thursday morning the girls distinguished themselves. They were up and ready for breakfast at seven o’clock. They were much chagrined to find that the phone call which had wakened them early in the morning, had not been from Prof. Price. However they took advantage of the early start and after breakfast they visited the little Japanese shops on Pennsylvania Avenue, and bought souveniers of the trip. When they returned to the hotel, the boys had breakfasted, and were ready to leave for the National Museum and Art Gallery. THE BLUE AND WHITE ( 8 They arrived there just as the doors were being opened to visitors, so were the first in. They found so much that was interesting that the time to leave came all too soon. They next visited the Washington Monument. As the elevator was not running they climbed the stairs of the monument. This was quite a job, and prespiration stood on the brows of all, when they reached the top. From the narrow apertures they saw the city spread out below them, its farther parts almost obscured by the haze. The descent was almost as laborious as the ascent, as the stairs were steep and it required an effort to keep from going too fast. A trip to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving was next enjoyed. While there the class saw how stamps and paper money are made. After these tours of inspection, the Seniors turned their steps toward the White House, where arrangements had been made for them to greet the President. On arrival there officers assigned them places in a line of several hundred high school students from various cities who had assembled for the same purpose. AT WASHINGTON At promptly twelve-thirty o’clock, the line began moving double file, in the East Wing of the White House, where the line changed to single file just before it passed the President. Mr. Coolidge clasped each student’s hand in his own as he uttered some brief, crisp word of greeting. After the line passed him, it resumed its original double file formation. A number of the Seniors had visited the White House before the THE BLUE AND WHITE 69 ceremony and a few visited it afterward. In tlie first floor salon hung a life size oil painting of Mrs. Collidge with a white “collie” by her side. THE DAY AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE From the executive mansion the class went directly to the hotel for lunch. After lunch it took the electric ears to Mount Vernon. The ride thru the Virginian country was enjoyed hv almost everyone. At Mount Vernon they saw many historical and interesting things and at the same time were able to get a glimpse of Colonial life. The trip bach to the city was made by boat on the beautiful Potomac river. In the evening the class attended the “Earle Theatre.” On Friday morning the Seniors took a trolley to the Zoological Hardens and spent the morning there. Much fun was had taking snap shots of the various animals and birds. After lunch, they went in automobiles to the Treasury Building where they saw among many other things $8,060,000 being boiled into pulp. The vaults could not be seen that day. They then got into the autos and were driven to Arlington Cemetery. There they visited the New Ampitheater, and the old one, the home of Robert Lee and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Before leaving the cemetery they witnessed the most impressive sight of the entire trip—a military funeral. In the procession was General Pershing. From Arlington they journeyed to the Navy Yard where they saw the President’s yacht, the “Mayflower,” and the yacht of Secretary Wilbur. For a half hour they listened to an open air concert by a navy band. 70 TUB BLl'E AND WHITE hen they returned to the city they took dinner at a restaurant as they had “checked out” at the hotel at noon. In the evening the class separated and went to various theatres until ten o’clock when they were due at the station. The “express” to Harrisburg that night carried a bunch of lively Seniors. At Harrisburg, arrangements were made to stop the train at Newport so that it was not necessary to wait for “Pacific.” —.John S. Adams. AN ELEGY The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The time when we must all depart; The dreams and thoughts of our solitary way Will linger on forever, in our heart. Now fades the high school from our sight, And all the air with music of that bell Slowly fades away in our long flight And bids its last to all, farewell. Beneath our rugged path which knowledge shade, Where heaves the films for us to work upon; Each in his long course has somewhat delayed A part, of which we all should gather from. For we no more in our high school course shall work, Or busy ourselves under the teachers care; No one can run to their friends for aid to shirk, But must follow their phantom toward hope or despair. Oft to that field of knowledge we must go, To acquire all that we can learn. And from a stepping stone to those who sow Their knowledge toward success, from a state forlorn. We must tread the path now set before, And solve the problems of our age; To continue the links of history of yore, And build the walls of safety, our own stage. Now, that we are separated each from all. Are climbing life’s ladder to reach our goal. Once we reach that, we begin to fall Until we end our work, by the departure of our soul. M. A. Wright ’25 Since T am class poet, I will strive To tell you in rhyme, About class ’25. Now .John’s a very busy chap, With very little time to spare, And such brilliant ideas in his head, I wonder he has any hair. “I’m going to he a teacher,” Says Gladys every day. I’ll bet she won’t he a teacher, If I lomer has any say. Stevens is a ladies man— In moving pictures he’d make good, If you don’t believe I’m telling the truth, dust take him out to Hollywood. If Mary Ellen had a man To whom she’d be a wife. She’d settle in a little hut, And love him all her life. 71 72 THE BLUE AND WHITE Of all the artists of renown That hang in the ‘hall of fame’ There’s only one that they forgot, And Sherman is his name. I’ll tell you a secret as ’twas told to me— There’s a “Miss” in our class as happy as a bee. But why shouldn’t “Si Mogel” he happy and gay, ’Tis said she might change her name any .June day. In just a couple of years from now, If you are feeling ill, Patronize Merry’ on the Square, By buying a little pill. We know your ambition, Elizabeth Is to be a singing teacher, I’ll bet it’s just to lead the choir, In the church where Harold is preacher. Turnbaugh’s the sheik of the Senior Class We wonder if Turnie was choosing a car Since lie's out with a different girl every nite If he’d pick a Buick a Ford or a Star? Through the four short years in High School You’ve been a loyal friend and true And, Martin, this is to let you know We’re mighty proud of you. “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How do your love affairs grow?” “With love and kisses, says this pretty Misses, And a Mifflin man, don’t cher know?” Of all the great famed dancers We have one that can’t be beat Admit we must hand it to “Newt .Jones” When it comes to shaking the feet. There’s a shy little girl in our class And her one ambition is to be A movie star out in Hollywood Can’t you guess who it is—it’s Marie. The best of wishes for her success To our dear friend, Emma, we send May she always conquer in the struggle w ith life And to others a helping hand lend. THE BLUE AND WHITE Now Lewis is a cunning lad With wit lie oft does glow And we have just a hint or two lie’ll join a medicine show. Our Pauline’s a very brilliant girl I ler praises are sung galore. And when opportunity conies knocking ’round He’ll find her waiting at the door. I've often heard the saying Only friends can get a squeeze. If this is true—believe me Stidfole has no enemies. Buckwalter hails from Losh’s Run He’s a business man now you see I prophesy in no time at all Postmaster General he’ll be. Pud tells us she has a fellow And ’round her he always is buzzin’ We couldn’t believe it, so looked it up And found to our grief ’twas her cousin. When Frank puts on his armor And sallies out in life The first conquest that la will make Will be to get himself a wife. Anna Rice ’25 Poetry For Anna Rice Now Anna is a loving girl A lucky man to win her We cannot say what she will be A B-A-K-E-R or a printer. II. G. M. ’25 74 THE BLUE AND WHITE OUR TRIP TO WASHINGTON IN RHYTHM (With ApologrltH to James Wltcomb Riley) Wasn’t it pleasant, () classmate mine, In those good days of the sunshine of youth; When the Senior year was almost through Our class hopped on a big choo-choo And we went visiting me and you Down to Washington City ? It till comes back so clear today, But still it only happened in May; Out of Harrisburg and down the main We sped along on a big fast train, W bile not once did our spirits wane, Going to Washington City. We stopped at York with five minutes grace To take some snapshots of our face: Once more we started, to land no more Till we reached the city of Baltimore While Washington was just next door Nearing Washington City. An then in the dust of the road again, And the autos we met and the city men; Then we opened our lunches with good things spread, With lots of eats, including bread; Our cares behind and our hearts ahead Entering tin Capital City At last we could see it, beyond the door W ith its Capitol buildings, and many more: And that funny truck! and the seats, ah me! Wasn’t it good for us to see And wasn’t it good for us to be Landed at last in Washington? The White House, the Capitol, and the Zoo The Monument and Museum, too, e went to Mount Vernon without a care And left a “Sleeping Beauty” there bile such a thing is very rare. Down in Washington City. To the Navy Yards then, where we heard the band Supposed to be one of the best in the land. To the library, too, where the books are kept 75 THE BLUE AND WHITE And a Vaudeville later, where we laughed and wept Then hack to our rooms, but nobody slept Down in the Capital City Not many times have you and I Had such good fun in days gone by. And so my friends up Newport way, This is to tell you, we’re home today, We fell asleep on the train whispering “Don’t wake us up!” And all was well Home from Washington City. Anna Rice. THE OUTLOOK Where will In the Jolly Seniors Of the class of Twenty-five, When the ages have rolled onward, And our life’s days growing late? We, in these halls have striven, To prepare for work in life; By our teachers, help was given, That will aid us in the strife. ' )ur class will soon be scattered, And its members forced to roam; Some upon the world of waters, Some with strangers make their home. Some may go from us for ever; Longer here they may not stay; But no matter where they travel, N. H.
