She helps the eommedienne, assists the ] oetess, besides aiding those poor students who just can’t figure things out. We can rely on Bertie. ANNIE BITNER Our pianist of the class is Anna Bitner. We call her “Bit.” Anna is a good all around student. Each year she lias worked hard and now she believes in enjoying all she has attained. “Bit” wears a lovely ring on her engagement finger. It surely worries all of us but as for Anna she is quite cool about it. PAUL CAUFFMAN We have only one statesman and that’s Paul Kauffman. Stiffy is not an athlete, but be surely enjoys watching the rest. As a leader we can suggest none other than Paul. There are many times we needed a leader and this classmate fulfilled the vacancy. As yet Paul hasn’t seen his idea of a perfect Venus. 4 Til K B L I' K A X I) WIIIT K EVA FLEISHER Bva Fleisher is so innocent we would never expect her to he held for detention. Well she was—hut just once. They never caught her again talking that way. Kva surely knows how to prepare her school work. She never misses a morning having her French and Physics completed. Who would expect it—but from her we hear— “I)’ you have a compact.” HAVEN FRANK Have is a good substantial History student and he sure can argue for his rights. No one ever objects when he uses History period in which to argue the Negro question. William Snyder always holds the opposite side of Have’s question. If it isn’t basket ball it’s base ball or with these it’s track so you see Haven Frank is an athlete. 1 meant to tell you Have doesn’t always argue with Bill. MARY HAREAUGH Here wo have a pal to Frances. These two get along wonderfully originating new Charleston steps. Mary Harbaugh is a business woman. She handles all the Blue and White business besides much of that of the class. She’s always wearing the cutest, smartest and tailored dresses one could imagine. I think Mary’s pride is all inside those dimples we see when she laughs. T II E B L V E A X 1) Will T E p PRICE HIBBS Price llibbs takes tin cake along with .John Sweger in acting although their roles are as «lifferent as day and night. It makes no difference about their roles they are howling successes. Price never was an athlete but he makes up for all this in scholastics. One never sees him idle in the school room. He always uses that place for what it is supposed to be used for. One would be wise to follow in his footsteps. VIOLET HOMDACH The commedienne of the class, Violet llonibach has been most active in every event. Everything but athletics. We can’t induce “Fat” to enter sports. Why we don’t know unless she wishes to remain “that stylish stout.” She's always saying:—“I’m just scared skinny.” KATHRYN ICKES “Kate” does have many talents and many lovers. But we’ll leave out her personal affairs. Kathryn Ickes sings, tickles the ivories, plays basket ball besides studying. That’s not all either. When Kate goes walking Dame Fashion is always with her. ( THE BLUE AND WHITE CLEE KEIM That little black-haired girl who’s always in the barber shop is “Marty” Keim. I’m sure Clee wouldn’t sleep a wink if she knew one hair was one sixteenth of an inch longer than another. When we wish to know the latest news we just ask Clee. Every morning it’s “ Get a letter ? ’ ’ BERTIE KIPP Everytime Bertie Kipp gets his report card he sits down and plays with A pluses he gets in Physics. Physics is one of his specialities. Something wrong has happened if we don’t hear Bertie repeating “Oh lleck.'' Speaking of Bertie’s specialties the half mile is another of his. We surely whooped and shouted congratulations to Bertie when he broke the cord. ANNA LEITER Anna Leiter is another of our faithful students. She’s always reliable. One thing tho, Anna doesn’t like to study very well. She would a thousand times rather that school was a place for discussing fashions. But “Husky’s” all right. Her second year she received an honor “N” third and fourth years athletic “N’s” and one can’t sit back and let the rest do it to wear any kind of an “X.” Anna has a motto which is: All work and no play makes Anna a dull girl. T II E R I. U E AND W II I T E 7 MARIE MAGNUSON Marie Magnuson represents the typical girl of the lt)2( class. She never uses powder and she never uses paint. For the students of ’2( 's class like faces where them things ain’t. “My heavens” is her favorite expression. Sounds as tho she claims that spacious ceiling for her very own. Beck always talks a lot but it’s always about French. MYRLLE MILLIGAN “IIow is the rouge holding out” came from that little girl who comes from Ickes-burg. We feel elated that we can claim an out of town girl as one of our members. Mvrlle Milligan always knows her lessons but she believes in keeping what she knows. That’s a wise idea Mvrlle. EARL OREN Earl Oren thinks he is quite capable of getting along with everything but a woman. This seems so queer to us for that sex seems to be the only one he pays attention to at all. Xo one can blame “Bunny” for many are in his fix. However Earl doesn’t believe in “Old Maids.” T I! E 15 E r i: A X 1) W H I T F DOROTHY RICE “Isn’t it dear.” That just sounds like “Dot” Rice. When Dorothy hears opportunity knocking she is always willing to open the door and ask her in. Kvei % thing is dear in Dots estimation especially that diamond on her fourth finger. It sparkles just like her eyes do when she’s happy and “Dottie” is never blue. MARY RINEHART liver faithful Mary has been a member ot our class for four years and in these years she has helped old ’2(i out many times. Mary Rinehart never shuns her duty, she’s always ready. Mary doesn’t let us know her bv phrase but t’m sure she 11 smile when I say—“So’s your antique.” lorna riscingtr Lorna is our librarian. Fascinating work for fascinating people. She says she’s ashamed of her report card and there are always several dozen A plus. Maybe il she would set' some red marks she d have something to speak of. All this while I was speaking of Lorna Kissinger-—not Lor-na Doone. Lorna isn t a man hatei eithei. THE BLUE AND WHITE 0 CARRIE SHULL No oik studios more than Carrie Sliuli. She isn’t one of those who specialize along one subject—but on every subject. We have claimed her for only three years but during that time she has been very active in our activities. Carrie is always willing to do her share especially when it comes to bake sales. FRANCES SOULE She’s always doing the Charleston and one never sees “Frank” without “Jane.” This is another class mate who took the state examination. I must hand it to Frances she surely knows how to use those big brown eyes. Talk about acting you missed her when you missed “A Pair of Sixes.” WILLIAM SNYDER He writes for the joke department. He argues. He drives a Bludiobaker. Sounds very much as tho I mean William Snyder. Well I do. Bill says he has no friends in the Junior class. But he doesn’t always drive the car alone. Bill is a good manager —especially of the eats. 10 T HE r L U E A X I) W II I TE JOHN SWEGER .John Sweger is the tyjh� of young man every class needs to succeed. He is very active and a real “go getter.” We used to call him “Sweg” hut since the operetta we call him “Abie.” The real “Abie” had an Irish Rose but he hasn’t anything on our “Abie.” But as for his Irish Rose----? ELEANOR TRESSLER That saying that country people are country-fied is not true. For example Eleanor Tressles comes from the country but she surely does look as tho the city claims her. Every ten minutes of the day we hear a line from her “Wiff that.” She says she is in bed by nine o’clock. De we believe her? Well----------------? KENNETH TROUT “Mopy” is only a nickname for him. He’s not mopy lie’s alert and wide awake as ever. Every president must be awake and Kenneth Trout is no exception. His good looks don't spoil him but it just shows lie’ll never be a batchelor because he has to. Let me add Mopy is quite a prominent figure in basket ball. THE BLUE AND WHITE 11 GERALD WATOON Hero Watson was given to this classmate as a nickname several years ago and ever since we have been using it. Looks as tho Heraldic was some sort of a hero and lie is —in Latin. You should see him play base ball. He’s mighty fond of stealing bases. I can’t figure out Herald’s byword, lb has quite a string of them and perhaps he’d rather tell you himself. ..L MARY WATSON Mary Watson is the business woman of our class. But no wonder she is competent because on Saturdays one may see her telling at the Citizens National Bank. Her charms are many, her faults so few. That one may ne’er discern them when looking-in those eyes of blue. And on Saturday nights one may know that she is doing a different kind of “telling” since Jerry’s home. P. F. C., ’2(5 ALFRED WOLPERT Sliiek Wolpert as they call him lias shown his ability in all his four years by being one of those few who are running for first place at the head of our line. If you don’t believe A1 has a good clear diligent mind, then let me inform you he was one contestant who took the state examination. His most frequent by phrase is “Where’s My Ktacomb.” You don’t see many shieks who don’t use it. T 11 E BLUE AND WHITE MIRANDA WRIGHT This pretty blond head belongs to Miranda Wright. She has been gifted with that talent that many of us lack. That is art. Miranda draws pictures for us these days but some day----------she 11 draw pictures for another. Look through your Blue and White’s and note her splendid work in art. ORVILLE WRIGHT We get our names in the paper every day just because Babe works in the news office. I suppose you think I mean big Babe Ruth. Well i do but our Babe lias seconded added to his signature. Orville’s and Babe’s abilities don’t seem to run alike. Big Babe is a fine base ball player—but he has nothing on our Babe tor he is a fine printer. He likes to quote “D you have a date!” T H E BL U E A N I) W HITE 13 PESSIMISM Ladies anti Gentlemen, let me present for your approval this nest of the most magnificent squab eggs (that is in their own estimation). These young birds will be hatched tomorrow night after four years of the greatest care given them by their alma mater. Most of you i eople are here this evening because this town is so dry that electricity won’t burn or because you wanted to get in any place out of the rain. Probably the women are here because they wish to show off that new spring bonnet or some other fool thing they purchased out of their husband’s next pay check. You people will see if you look around 29 married couples here who are intensely interested m this nest of eggs. If you will stop to consider the reason you will think of this or hear some one say, “Yes, that one there in the red dress is my daughter or that one there in the black coat is my son. There are also a few who are interested in these 29 eggs beside the parents. Now before it is too late let us examine one of these eggs. The name written upon this egg is Annie. Now Bitner aspires to be ope of the greatest pianists of the time but she won’t be. Who ever told her she could play was mistaken and she let it go to her head. Annie will gel mixed up in some scandal and be put behind the bars. More expense for the citizens of Newport. One egg gone bad. Gertrude Berrier thinks she will be a school teacher but after whipping one of the children whose father was on the school board she was asked to resign and so she returned to Newport and placed a sign on the front porch. Can you imagine vhaj it is? It is this, “Washing done up to a standard, not down to a price.’’ Tlj£ seepnd egg gone Imd. You people probably don’t know it but Avhile in Washington these 29, eggs and their three chaps were nearly run out of town. You probably will never hear the last of it.but it may be lived down. Eva Fleisher expects to be a nurse. She thinks because she is an honor student that that will get her and hold her a position. She no doubt will beepme a nurse but she will fall in love with t p ilti-niil-lionaire patient and after the wedding the state asylum g ard iyjll be around to take him back to the bug house. Then back to the tarin .fpr Eva to brood over her High School Honors and to deliver her Commencement Oration to cows. Another egg gone bad. Paul Franklin Cauffman thinks that he is such a diplomat that he might consider accepting the judgeship of the World Court. He always did aim above his reach. But 1 just know that he will walk into some place for a t.urkisli bath, fall in love with the proprietor’s (laughter and return to Turkey with her. But I suppose while crossing the Hellespont in a raft, the raft will sink and he will go to the place that bears the first syllable for its name. Can you imagine such a deplorable ending for such an enterprising young man? Mary Harbaugh has decided to become tlje wife of the President u THE BLl' E A N I) W HITE of the United States. Very nice position to pick out now all she has to do is wait for the President to come and marry her. Then off on a trip around the World. On the trip 1 am afraid she’ll fall in love with the King of S. B. Islands and the U. S. government can’t run without Mary so citizens be prepared to become slaves of the S. B. Islands. The loss of Mary is a tremendous loss to this nest. Violet Hombach is cut out for a physical directress, I don’t think. She claims that she will keep them all thin. For example just look at her. But I just know that while taking some violent exercise she will get a laughing spell and laugh herself to death. A large egg gone had. Price Hibbs is the would-be-sheik of this nest of so far bad eggs. He is very fastidious and expects to set the fashions for the rest of tlie world. But in such unique outfits he will be shot being taken as an anarchist or fcolshevist. Another bad egg. In a metropolitan opera house the curtain rises slowly, the audience was in breathless silence, and why shouldn’t it be the greatest singer in all the world was to appear that night. Whom 1j we recognize, ah! Kathryn lekes. After many performances she goes to Europe there she falls in love with an Austrian Duke. After the wedding she is to sing a song composed by the Duke. As she goes on the stage the audience gives her a round of applause, she begins to sing and the piece is about the bolshevists in the middle of the song someone rises in the back of the room, a pistol cracks and another egg falls from the nest. Next, William Snyder, the greatest scientist of the day. William graduated at Bailey’s Scientific Seminary and will assist Darwin by discovering the missing link. But if he succeeds in reaching Africa and lands anyways near the interior I just know that while crossing some river an alligator will grab him and take him to lower depths to investigate. Alfred Wolpert expects to be the cashier of the largest bank in the world. But I just know that the stock market will be very low' some day and A1 will borrow some money from the bank, of course he expects to return it but when the market goes on the rocks he w ill be forced to leave. Next he will be driving the Ford sedan of the queen of China. This gives A1 the inspiration to become an auto racer. We next hear of him as the speed king of Africa so we go to the race track to see him. But I know that he would have won the race except that traveling at the terrific rate of 25 miles an hour he ran off the track ami struck a coconnut tree, the nuts fell off, struck his hard character ami broke the milk drowned him. There is a great steel bridge being erected across the Atlantic. The bridge is nearly constructed and the crowds are passing to and fro on the bridge. Presently the crowd breaks and sends up cheer after cheer for we behold Hero Watson has arrived. He is the man who picked the perfect steel for the bridge. It is a great day for him. Suddenly a crash is heard in the distance ami the bridge collapsed. When St. Peter handed Hero a harp he said I can pluv only a saxo- THE BLUE AND WHITE 15 phone so I’ll visit some place else. Our president, Mopey Trout, since lie was on the president’s yacht lias decided that he would become President of the l S. A. But when In- comes out on the Socialistic ticket, even though he is from Newport, take my advice and don’t vote for him. lie’s punk’ can’t talk, can’t think and even too tired to eat. If he does become president there is always a way of getting rid of such. Of course you can’t he certain but 1 feel it in my bones that he will he shot if lie ever becomes president. So don’t vote for him as it will only be wasted energy. The poor egg and the poor nest. Once upon a time not so many days ago a gypsy visited our town and Carrie Shull wanting to know her future had her fortune told. Of course it’s a secret but if you don’t tell she is going to be queen of China. Carrie is so elated that she can’t wait she is leaving in 1.5 minutes. But I just know that she, like Lady Macbeth, will commit so many murders to gain her desired goal that she will go Coo-coo. A poor nut and a poor egg. One afternoon about 3.50 I walked into the office of the Public Ledger and saw a young man sitting at the desk. Not being personally acquainted with the editor I mistook him for the editor hut when he addressed me I knew my mistake for I recognized his voice as that of an old class mate, Orville Babe Wright as editor of the Public Ledger. Can you imagine that? I surely can’t for none or this group can ever be a success. 1 heard the door close and saw an elderly man whom I took as the editor and I was correct for once for Babe immediately grabbed a bucket and started washing up the floor, lie cut his hand on a piece of glass and contracted blood poisoning from which he never recovered. I hope that he will regain the use of his hand for it is rather hard using a shovel with one hand. This nest of eggs must all be bad. Marie Magnuson has sent in her application to the Zeigfield Follies. Now all of you people know, or if you don’t take my word for it, but she was cut out for a house wife not a dancer. You all know that Marie cannot stand the late hours or all that violent exercise but if she does fill all the requirements she will throw a leg out of joint and have to use a wheel chair and a tin cup the rest yf her life. Bertie Kipp expects to be a runner, but he won’t be. He.thinks because he can walk around the track up here and then be handed a piece of tin with a little bronze on it that he is in shape for tlie Olympics but just wait. If he ever did get to France, which he won’t, and even though he had a chance to run, why before the race one of those little French girls would capture his heart and France would cop the race. If Bertie ever ran a real race some one would spike him and lie would come back to town so the citizens of Newport could buy him a wooden leg. Another egg bit the dust. Clee Keim has aspired to be the Fat Lady in Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. At least so it seems to the faculty and to the students for she 1G THE BLUE AND WHITE has started all ready. Whenever you hear anyone munching anything you know it is Clee Keim. But after so much eating she will develop a chronic ptomaine poisoning and the Doctors will put her on a diet This shattering of her hopes will be such a shock that she will commit suicide. Such luck! Mary Watson thinks that she will be a playground directress but she won’t because she isn’t capable of taking care of herself. But if she does become a directress she will get the hoof and mouth disease and on account of this she will be banished to the Leper Islands in the Indian Ocean. Can you imagine any one of these eggs ever being a naturalist? Well, I can’t, but nevertheless Anna Leiter lias the gumption to think that she will be one. But she won’t, a bolt of lightning will strike her knocking out her false teeth and then some one help her. If that don’t end her career some day when she is examining deep sea plant life she will get tangled up in a sea weed and spend the rest of her days teaching a school of fish down there. Then there’s ] oor Eleanor Tressler, it just grieves me when I think of her. She must have been born under an unlucky star for when her marks are high her deportment is low and when her deportment goes up her marks go down. There are a series of terrible fatalities in store for her. She expects to go north and make matresses with fresh pine needles but I can’t help but feel that she will drop into the sea with a fragment of a glacier. Then go floating out to mid-ocean on an iceberg. There she will go drifting along for miles, far from civilization. slowly starving to death till she gets into a warmer climate then the ice will melt out from her. Oh, its too horrible to think about! Mvrlle Milligan expects to take up scientific farming but can you imagine Mvrlle with a plow and a team of oxen. But 1 predict that she will get tangled up in tin harness and the oxen will run away with her and dump her in the creek. 1 know that she will later take pneumonia or something but this wdl give her the inspiration to become a high diver. But as she mounts the ladder to a heighth of 500 feet she will become very nervous. If she doesn’t fall off and get killed when -lie dives she will miss the tank. (Joodbye, Myrlle. 1 look for Lorna Kissinger to be a dressmaker but she will rob-ably cut or jag herself and get lockjaw and if this should happen what would poor Lorna do if she couldn’t talk for she certainly has the gift of gab. She would probably wonder out over the hill tops picking daffodils and daisies until an aeroplane came along and scalped her. Then the only thing she could do would be put on a wig and sell hair tonic for there is no job in the world for a bald headed woman. Now Dorothy goes bustling and bubbling around but if there is a banana peel lying around she is sure to stop on it or a hat with a brick under it she’s sure to kick it. Now Dot Rice goes bouncing and bobbing around but sooner or later she’ll come unaware to a hole with no bottom and then I declare alack and alas we’ll be short one more lass. T II K B 1. r : A X I) W II I T K 17 Poor Mary Rinehart expects to lx a nurse but I can just imagine she will go blundering around and fall down the hospital steps and have to be nursed instead. Or she may become unhygienic with a serious case and contract contagious hiccoughs and hie herself to death. Frances Soule aspires to be a movie actress but I just know that slit will get burned by kleig lights and In marred for life with body scars. But if she does play a minor part the audience will hoot the play off the stage. This will grieve her so greatly that the director will have to buy her a five cent lollv-pop to satisfy her but her sobs will be so deep that she will inhale the lolly pop and choke to death. Earl Oren expects to be a cowboy but lie always was a misfor-tunate youth. His wife will no doubt run off with a book agent and if lie outlives this disgrace he is to be congratulated. But I just know that a cyclone will strike his ranch destroying all his buildings and carrying all his cattle into another state. If this don’t end his career he will be killed by a stampede of his own cattle. John Sweger expects to be a storekeeper but he always played in hard luck. I just know that while climbing up a shelf for a can of tomatoes he will fall on his head and if this don’t kill him I just feel it in my bones that during a busy hour lie will jump over the counter, the floor gives away, and he will go through to the floor below landing in a vinegar barrel and be pickled for the rest of his life. There is a would be artist in our nest of eggs. It is the last and least of these would be conquerors. But Miranda Wright has to use a magnifying glass to determine what she has drawn. But I know that she will never be successful. I just know that she will get the painters colic and that will be the last of these would be marvelous eggs. Now ladies and gentlemen if you are not asleep by this time let me add just a few words. 1 came here to bury these eggs, not to praise them. If I have not convinced you that they are all rotten then examine them yourselves. If. F. You know Haven Frank thinks lie’s going to be a lawyer, but this is only because lie knows the study of law is tin beginning of the professional road which leads to president, lie can’t bluff me. I advise him to begin as a day laborer because as a cheap lawyer and politician he will end up there any way and have the inconvenience of learning the handling of the pick and shovel in his old age. P. F. C., ’26 OPTIMISM Optimists all over are making the path of others bright and cheerful. When spring comes dancing o’er the earth and displays to us her charm of beauty, could anybody be sad ? Listen to the gay birds of spring as they sing to us their sweet, sweet songs. Everybody is gay so let us drive our care away. Seniors are supposed to be sombre and sad, but we are not. You may ask me why we are glad to-nite. 18 THE BLUE AND WHITE Listen and 1 will tell you. We are all smiles and sunshine because we have reached the goal which we sought to reach when we entered high school. That goal is a high school education. It has been the custom of our predecessors to boast and exagger ate what they have done during their four years in high school. But if you will listen 1 will tell you a few things we have accomplished in high school aided by our optimistic spirit. The arrival of our class in the high school in the fall of 1922 was a great event. Never before and never again will the walls scintillate as they did the day we entered. In our midst one could see future Presidents of the United States, Generals and great men and'women. The day will go down in history as a day when a renaissance began in Newport High School. It is customary for the Freshmen to look up to the Senior and marvel at the lofty position they have attained. But they looked down at us wishing that they had time to he reborn and follow in our footsteps. As Sophomores we felt it incumbent to stop hazing the Freshmen and so we did. Instead we gave them little green ribbons to wear just as a token of our love. When we reached the second step from the top of the ladder we gave the most elaborate Junior-Senior banquet ever given in N. H. S. We feel sure everybody enjoyed it because the class of ’25 ate as they never ate before. Now we have reached the topmost step of the ladder. W e are Seniors. This year we presented to the public the best play ever given by a class in Newport High School. We have turned out of our class scholars, athletes, musicians, artists and actors. We have accomplished what we set out to do. You may ask how we did this! Listen my friends and you shall hear. We tackled the trouble that came our way with a resolute heart and cheerful. We never shunned our duty and always on our guard when it came. We have cooperated and now as we are about to leave the portals of N. H. S. never to reenter again. As a class we give to the lower classmen our optimistic spirit. Face your trouble and see it through. The memory of happy school days will always linger in the minds of the class of ’26. When the shadows lengthen, and night is drawing nigh. When the silver stars fill, with light, the evening sky— Then my memory wanders no matter what I do. Back to my school and you. Let me sleep and dream again, Dream of days gone by, When my heart was free from care, Like a bird in the bright summer air. TIIE BLUE AND W III T E 19 Earth would be a better place If our dreams came true, So when I dream of school days, Let me dream of You!

I feel that in so doing 1 am benefitting both Kenneth and Miss Bauder. P. F. C., ’26 CLASS POEM Bunny Oren’s an industrious lad. But very hard on shoes; For if he is not carrying meat, You’ll find him carrying news. T II E B h U E A N I) VV II I T E 21 Katlirvn is going to be a nurse, We hope her patients thrive; We know if Barney ever take ill. She'll be sure to keep him alive. Haven’s liable to break his neck, Showing his new ear’s speed and endurance; But when you see it parked up Fourth street. Don’t think lie’s after life insurance. The life of every party, The jolliest girl in town; I think Fat would best succeed, .Just to be a clown. There’s an ambitious youth in our class. Who’ll never run a tractor; All Hollywood is looking for Price, For the need of a famous actor. Our school days will soon be over, And many things may part us; But we’ll never forget Miranda, For she is a wonderful artist. Alfred is a loyal classmate. You know this is a fact; But I’ve had just a hint or two, He’ll become an acrobat. Watson’s going to take up nursing, To succeed in life; But I think she’d be the happier, To be a druggist’s wife. A very shy boy is Orville, But when he wants a girl he’ll win her; For no one could help but fall for him, For lie’s the Newport News printer. Clee is going to work for Dad, And give admiring looks; Your jewelry she will mend all right, But break your pocket-books. T II E B L U E A N I) W II I T E Patronize our Gasoline Gus, Out on South Fourth street extension; For Bill’s going to fly down to Lehigh, At least we think that’s his intention. The first woman President, To get the great sensation; We all know will he Marie, For she tries to run the Nation. We have a very industrious hoy, Paul works as hard as he can; Have you heard just who he is? Well, lie’s our Salesman Sam. Now Husky is so very tall, You can’t tell a smile from a frown; So when any one asks us where she is, We just say, “She’s out of town.” Sweger is an all round sport, An active base hall fan: An l some day will he renowned, As the world’s comedian. Dancer. Teacher, Actress, Which will Frances he; We know if Leroy has any say. She won’t he any of the three. When you’re down on Second street, You think of home, sweet home; You hear the good old melodies, On Gerald’s saxophone. Bitner is going to he a teacher. To try her living to earn; But tlie thing that puzzles us. Is how much her pupils will learn. We have a Trout in our class, He’s never out of season; He bites and bites hut doesn’t get caught, We can’t understand the reason. THE BLUE AND WHITE 23 Now Haroaugh is in robust health, Her cheeks have a ruddy glow; But she buys it at the drug store, It’s artificial, don’tcher know. Eva is a country girl, With not much time to spare; She hasn’t joined the flappers yet, For she hasn’t bobbed her hair. Bertie is a ladies’ man, Step up and take his arm; He sure can take care of chickens. He gets practice on the farm. Now Rinehart’s going to be a nurse. In life that is her station; But her patients will all ride in the hearse, For she’ll wipe out half the nation. A bashful girl is Carrie, For she’s a country lass; But she shines among the bright lights, And we’re proud she’s in our class. The people all rushed in their houses, The town was in a whirl; Because racing down Market street, Came a Ford and the driver was Myrlle. (Jerty is a healthy girl, We never saw her ill; And I heard she has a fortune, From working at Emory’s mill. Lorna is an honor student, We look to her with pride; Whenever we needed a helping hand, She was ever by our side. Now Eleanor is a charming girl, With sweet and smiling face; We’ve had delightful sledding parties, Out at Tressler’s place. Dorothy Rice 24 T II E I? L U E A X I) W II I T ¥ Mind Dorothy has a fellow. His name begins with Candy, And now observe, for soon you'll see She'll be a Candioto too. P. F. C., ’2G PROPHECY Commencement week had finally arrived and 1 had received many lovely gifts. Among those received there was one gift I especially liked and that was a radio. It was one of those new kind devised so that besides hearing the musicians or speakers one could also see them. AYe were all thus capable of acquainting ourselves with noted speakers and musicians of the day. At last the night before Class Day had come. I was supposed to write the class prophecy but for some reason or other did not know definitely what to write. All sorts of ideas had come to me:—gypsy fortune lolling, dreams, oriental globes and the like. Thus Class Day was fast appicaching and the prophecy was not written. We were all listening to radio that evening. It was almost twelve o’clock so the family decided to go to bed. I thought I’d stay up for awhile and listen to the radio, hoping in some way to get an inspiration that would enable me to prophesy for the Class of 15)26. As T was sitting in my chair lazily listening to the dreamy music, suddenly I heard a new voice. I turned to see what new speaker this could be. There on the screen of the radio 1 saw a tall thin figure in a large flowing robe. The figure seemed to look at me and say: “This is station X. II. S. and I am the Spirit of the Class of 15)26. I am able lo look into the future and will show you what the members of your class are doing twenty years from now.” Delighted to know that tin future of my class would now be revealed to me I sat up straight and mid close attention. The first picture the spirit showed me was a large and spacious farm-house. In an adjoining field I saw a red-haired farmer, lie seemed to be picking potato bugs. As he turned around I recognized Bertie Kipp, the hero of the half-mile run when he used to go to High School. The Spirit told me he was now using all his athletic ability as a farmer. Suddenly as I watched this picture I saw a bull near by attracted by Bertie’s red hair. The hull came rushing forward and gave him an awful blow. The farmer was knocked down and his hired help, Alfred AYolpert, in overalls and a large straw hat immediately rushed him to the hospital. While Bertie was lying suffering on his bed the door of the room opened and a sweet faced nurse with laughing blue eyes came in. Something seemed strangely familiar about her. I looked closer and discovered that this efficient nurse was Marie Magnuson. The door again opened and a tall and rather stout lady dressed in white entered. She spoke a few words to the nurse ami then saw to it that every thing for the patient’s comfort was all right. The Spirit told me that this lady was Anna Leiter who had become head THE BLUE AND WHITE 25 nurse of the hospital. The picture then changed and I saw a large court room. The Spirit explained that there was a big divorce case on and that the lawyer, Haven Frank, was having a hard time settling it. Those seeking a divorce were Gertrude Berrier and William Snyder. Bill was selling Hershey Bars on the Sherman’s Valley Railroad and consequently as he had considerable traveling to do Gertie didn’t see much of him. Someone also informed her that Bill was flirting with the women who traveled on this train so therefore Gert was suing hubbie for a divorce. I’m not sure whether the lawyer settled the dispute, but if he was as good at arguing then as he was in the days spent in N. H. S. I’m sure he must have won the case. The next picture I saw was a .large and beautiful Church. The Spirit showed me the inside and on the pulpit was a minister with black curly hair. This minister was .John Sweger and he was performing a marriage ceremony. Who was he marrying? Why it was Dorothy Rice and an old classmate of mine, Anna Bitner, a famous pianist was playing Lohengrin’s Wedding March. Before the ceremony was performed a noted singer of the day sang 0 Promise Me.” I did not seem to recognize the singer so I asked the Spirit who it was. He said it was Kathryn Ickes. No wonder I did not know her because her golden curls which she had when a High School girl had become straight anti were beginning to grow darker. This picture soon changed and a new one was presented. In a large office I saw seated at a desk a tall well built man. He was dictating a letter to his stenographer. As she looked up from her writing I recognized Carrie Shull and her boss was none other.than Kenneth Trout, a well known real estate dealer. After this on the screen appeared a modiste’s shop. On the window was written ‘‘Mademoiselle Harbaugh.” Mary had become a famous dressmaker and designer but she was so successful that it almost frightened her because she had made Violet Hombaeh, a millionaire’s wife, look so thin that even her friends did not know her. 1 then saw a large printing office. The buzz and the whirl of machinery seemed to indicate that this was an important place. The noted printer was Orville Wright. The paper which he put out was The Newport News. A copy of it was shown on the screen and there I recognized old familiar names. Miranda Wright had become a famous artist and was now drawing cartoons for the funny papers. Eva Fleisher, president of the Spinister’s Society was in Romantic Spain presiding at a meeting of this Society. Gerald Watson was a wonderful saxophone player, in fact he was leader of ‘‘The Newport Jazz Orchestra.” His success was of a noisy kind. Clee Keim was the proprietor of a large jewelry firm but the paper hinted that they did r.ot believe that she would keep this position long because Clee was rather inclined toward mail (male) work. Paul Cauffman was a clever lecturer. He was now making a tour of the world. At present he was lecturing at THE BLUE AND WHITE 2G Bailey’s. His lecture, “Parsimony, Penuriousness and Procrastination” had won for him great fame. Myrlle Milligan had become a kindergarten teacher. Myrlle was so clever at this work that after a year at the kindergarten school all her pupils were ready to take up High School work. This picture suddenly vanished and 1 saw the beach at Altantic City. As 1 gazed at the beach I saw a girl in a bright red bathing suit walking towards the water. The Spirit told me that this bathing beauty was Mary Watson and that for the past two years she bad been chosen “Miss America” at the Atlantic City Pageant. 1 watched this picture for awhile and noticed that Mary went in bathing. All at once she seemed to be going under. Then there was a general confusion on the beach. At last 1 saw a man with light hair dressed in a life guard suit swim towards the bathing beauty. Finally he was successful in rescuing her. This brave guard received many praises for saving the girl. Who was this blond life guard? I looked closer and saw it was Earl Oren. After this picture I saw a large theatre. Crowds of people were trying to get in. Why all the rush and excitement? Ah! I noticed a sign which read “Price Hibbs, famous actor now playing in ‘The Snare’.” I also noticed that he was very successful in the musical comedy “() Aspirin My Head Aches For You.” This advertisement immediately explained to me the excitement, because if Price was able to bold an audience spell-bound in those plays as be did when be was an actor in High School, bis acting must have been a success. I saw going into this theatre three persons whose faces seemed familiar. As they turned around I remembered Lorna Kissinger, Mary Rinehart and Eleanor Tressler. I was curious to know what these old school mates of mine were now doing so 1 asked the Spirit to please tell me. In answer to my request he said that after several years of nursing Mary Rinehart decided that she liked domestic science better so now Mary has become Jerry’s devoted companion. Lorna Kissinger always inclined toward mathematics was teaching this subject at Penn State. All her pupils loved her and through her tireless energy her pupils also became worth while mathematicians. Eleanor Tressler taught school for awhile but being a farmer’s wife seemed to suit her better so Eleanor now brings up cows and chickens instead of pupils. When 1 bad seen all these pictures the Spirit again appeared on the screen of the radio and said, “You have now witnessed the future of your class mates so 1 will now say good night. May all your class mates have success and enjoy their life work. Signing off. Station X. Frances Soule As I slowly turn the dials which unlock the door to the future I perceive dimly, now clearly, now plainly—why what do I see! None other than our beloved and beautiful classmate, Frances Soule. And what is she doing—the picture is growing dimmer—now plainer, 1 T HE B L U E A N I) W II I T E can see her patiently explaining to a child at her knee some problem which he was unable to understand. How contented she seems to be. How radiantly her face glows with happiness. The child perfectly satisfied with her explanation smiled sweetly at her and runs off to play. At last Frances has found her hobby, as kindergarten instructor. P. F. C., ’2G CAST IN “PAIR OF SIXES”—(rear) John Sweger, Director T. O. McCracken, Marie Magnuson, William Snyder, Mary Watson, Anna Leiter. Haven Frank, Kenneth Trout, Ralph Sharar, Earl Oren, Paul Cauffman. (front) Frances Coulc, Price l-l'bbc. “A PAIR OF SIXES” On .January 25 and 2( members of tbe Senior ('lass gave the most striking and wonderful comedy in three acts that was ever given by a class of the Newport High School. It was given under the direction of Prof. Theo. McCracken, a capable and efficient director. It was a great success and went over with a bang. As tbe saying goes it had a long run in Newport and a short walk out of Elliottslnirg. Haven Frank ((Jeorge B. Nettleton) and Price llibbs (T. Boggs Johns) were agreeable? business partners. We leave it to those who saw the play as to who was the ‘brains and blood’ and ‘bone and fat.' We sympathize with their bookkeeper Kime (William Snyder) may bis next employers agree on something. Marie Magnuson as Miss Sally Parker was a most attractive stenographer. I lei- laugh was infectous. Kenneth Trout played the part of a most dashing young lawyer. Tony Toler, played by Ralph Sharar, was a most energetic salesman. He almost “landed” Mr. Applegate (Paul Cauffman) tbe owner of tbe lar- 28 THE BLUE A X I) WHITE gest pill concern west of the Mississippi. Earl Oren as office boy and John Sweger as shipping clerk handed the audience some mighty good laughs. Frances Soule as Mrs. Nettleton was as fussy as any business man’s wife ought to be. Mary Watson (Miss Florence Cole) was the heroine of the play. A pretty girl beseiged by two lovers, “T” and Vanderhold, finally decides in favor of “T” and then her own efforts free him from a year’s butler duty from Mr. Nettleton. The first act took place at the offices of the Eureka Digestive Fill Co., in New York City. There were two men in partnership and of course couldn’t agree on anything. Mr. Nettleton wanted the color of the pill different from the color Mr. T. Boggs John wanted it. So there they couldn’t agree. The partners both wanted the stenographer Miss Sally Parker, at the same time and as you see that was impossible. Tony Toler, their salesman landed a big proposition with Mr. Apple-gate but through their dum arguments they lost it. The conflict between the two grew so thick they decided to call in their lawyer, Mr. Thomas J. Vanderholt and see if he could adjust matters. It is finally decided to play a hand of show' down and the winner to become head of the firm for one year, while the looser would become a butler to the winner for one year. That pleases both, the game is on. Watch! Who won? Mr. Nettleton wins on a pair of sixes. The second act takes place at the home of Mr. Nettleton two weeks later. Here we see T. Boggs John as the butler to Mrs. Nettleton. Mr. Nettleton sends a telegram to Miss Florence Cole inviting her down to spend a time at their home. Mrs. Nettleton strongly opposed it because Florence wras T. Boggs John’s sweetheart. That is the very reason Mr. Nettleton invited her. She arrives and does not understand what became of T. Boggs John, she has not heard of him for a week. She finally discovers him here as a butler with monkey whiskers. She wants to know about this but nobody is allowed to tell or they would lose a thousand dollars. She determines to find out. The third act takes place at the Nettleton home only a week later. We still find T. Boggs John as butler but Miss Cole works out a little scheme which proves a success and Mr. Nettleton gets tired of Boggs being a butler. Every thing goes wrong at the office. Finally Miss Cole brings news that there isn’t any contract, it was only a frame up of Mr. Vanderholt’s. Every thing is settled, the two men become reconciled. All’s well that ends well. WASHINGTON TRIP The second annual trip to Washington was taken by the Senior class May 19, 20, 21. The Loysville Orphans’ Home Band bus was hired to take us instead of traveling by train. By means of this we all enjoyed the trip more, especially as we had a real view of the country as we passed along. The time for leaving was set at 4:30 o’clock Wednesday morning but until all the sleepy-heads arrived and baggage was stowed away and we got started it was 5. We made fair time on the THE BLUE AND WHITE 29 road to Bloomfield, awakening everyone as we passed through the town. At Duneannon and Marysville we were compelled to climb out and walk over the condemned bridges. If the early bird gets the worm we certainly ought to have got it as no one seemed to he thawed out by the time we reached these towns either. At West Shore the daily business had just begun. We stopped at Gettysburg forty-five minutes and gave to the restaurants their first customers for the day. The next stop was Rockville, Md., where we replenished our gas supply. Pennsylvania has better roads than Maryland. Also those of Maryland were just wide enough for the bus. At noon we stopped at a camping ground to lunch. If anyone didn’t get enough it was his own fault. After one and one half hours passed here we continued on our way to Washington arriving in the District of Columbia at 1:30 and at our hotel at 2 o’clock. It was hot when we arrived. After a short rest at our palatial hotel we began exploring. We visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the National and Smithsonian Museums and the Aircraft Building where we saw one of the aeroplanes that completed the world flight; also the plane which made the dawn to dusk flight from New York to San Francisco. Washington is a wonderful city as we learned more forcibly daily. Wednesday night was cold and so was Thursday all day. Every one got plenty of sleep during our stay??? Thursday morning we visited Mount Vernon and Arlington cemetery. In traveling to and from Mt. Vernon we passed through Alexandria, Va. We arrived at the hotel just in time for an elaborate lunch which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. In the afternoon we visited the Navy Yard, boarded the president’s yacht, The Mayflower, and later visited the Zoological Gardens. Everyone profited by the afternoon’s explorations. This evening as on the first we went to the theatre. Thursday night everyone again got lots of sleep!? We were complimented upon our excellent behavior as a class by the manager ? ? ? The following morning we visited Washington monument. Congressional Library and the Capitol where we saw both houses of Congress in session, also the Supreme Court room. Friday afternoon was spent by some at the baseball game and by others in searching for souvenirs. We left Washington with many happy memories at 6:30 o’clock and arrived in Baltimore about 8:30 where we procured our dinner. Leaving the restaurant at 10:00 it was 11:00 before we found our way out of the city. After futile attempts to sleep we finally gave it up and enjoyed ourselves by prohibiting others sleeping until we stopped for gas at York at 1:30 a. ni. From York to Harrisburg if I may s|x� ak for the majority we all slept, except one lone orator who I remember rose to her feet and talked us to sleep and when I awakened she was still talking. Think of the brilliant ideas that were lost by our not listening. Day began breaking when we reached Marysville where we were forced again to climb out for the condemned bridge, you never THE BLUE AND WHITE 30 say anything against one until it inconveniences you. The other one was still at Duncannon also. Nothing more happened. We arrived at Newport at 5:00 a. in. exactly three days after we left it. No one was sleepy, having got all that was necessary at Washington, but to see if our prosperous community missed us we went home and “rested” tin til evening. By remarkable coincidence, notice that we passed first our County capitol at New Bloomfield, our State capitol at Harrisburg, and last but greatest, our National Capitol in the District of Columbia. Coming home the order was just reversed. Immediately after climbing Washington monument, on our way to the Congressional Library, we stopped at the White House. Altho we did not see the President, we were shown some parts of the White House into which the public is not admitted. This palatial residence is indeed suitable for the President to occupy, as it was the most sump-tiously furnished building which we visited. I feel along with the rest of the class of '12( that we owe much to our townsfolk who made this trip possible by their continued and uncomplaining patronage of our activities. Any member of the class of ’2(5 who ever forgets our Washington trip will have lost the memories of the most eventful three days of our Senior year. For me it was the bright spot in my High School career. Paul F. Cauffman.

BASKET BALL The boys had three veterans from last year to work in with the new material this year. Perhaps this is a partial explanation of our interest in their work. Their initial appearance—and defeat—on the Casino floor was a slight disappointment hut not a discouragement. The Alumni succeeded in defeating our boys by seven points which was an honor to our team considering that the Alumni team was the strongest that has left the X. 11. S. Our hoys entered the Perry County High School League for indoor season. Although they did not come out first they made a good showing. Financially the basket ball season met with greater success than any preceding years. BASEBALL The season’s over—if there had been a cup we would have won it. One of the best teams ever in the Newport High School. In the spring meeting, John Sweger was elected manager of H' 1 base ball team. Several days later he called for candidates for tiie team and many responded. After about two weeks practice with the assistance of Coach Donaghey, team was picked. Season opened and T II E B L U E A N I) V H I T E 38 right off the bat, we were defeated by Carson Long Institute. Gloom and shadows enshrouded our field at once and forebode a desperately bad season but—wait—did they get together and play ball from that time on? They did! Victory after victory honored our school. Throughout the season we showed improvement under Captain 'Watson and Coach Donaghey. G AB R H 2b 3b HR Pc. Gantt — 10 42 1G 18 2 0 1 .429 R.
