We’ve stood our ground in hardships, Anil in honor never lack, For we’ve won them everywhere, In declamation, field and track.

T II E B L U E AND W HITE 17 THOMAS TRESSLER Thomas is considered a fine man because he never says too much. “Tom” is not a ladies’ man but he is a real sport and he does his bit. Thy purpose firm is equal to the deed; Who does the best his circumstances allows, Does well, acts nobly. Class Poem Pat is a good sport all around, And a wonderful baseball fan, The finest thing that we know, He’ll be the world’s comedian. Thomas says he’ll earn his living By the muscle of his arm, We know that when he gets a wife; He’ll take her on a farm. Mary Miller says she hasn’t any plans, But of course we doubt her; Even though she hasn’t any, We cannot do without her. Saylor intends to be a preacher With heart and mind a whole, He may not win a congregation, But he’ll certainly win a Soule. Helen Myers hopes to be an artist, And in this way gain a name. We hope that within a few years, her pictures, Will be hanging in the “Hall of Fame.” The youngest chap that’s in our class Will not tell us his intention, So don’t be surprised if one of these days, Morrison brings forth a new invention. 18 T II E BLUE AXI) WHITE We have a Burd in our class Who sings the whole day long; And if he should fly away from us, We never could get along. f lorence is another quiet lass, Who won't tell us her aim in life; But by the looks of things we think, .She expects to be Clair’s wife. Dutch is known as old faithful, For each day he rings the bell; And when it comes to mastering hardships, In them he does excell. John Ramp’s a great athlete, He’s noted everywhere; With so many wise ones in his head, It’s a wonder he has any hair. There’s a certin lad in our class Who sure can shake his feet; We must hand it down to Jim, That he certainly can’t be beat. Jesse’s going to be a banker, He hails from Markelville, With the exception of a broken nose; lie has never been ill. Alan’s going to Dickinson, To study for a lawyer to be; We expect him to specialize in divorce, We’ll have to wait and see. Ever since we began our labors, We had a friend, tried and true. So, Mae, this is to let you know, We’re very proud of you. Helen Crawford’s a busy girl, But she won’t tell us her aim; So we’re expecting that one of these days, She’ll be changing her name. 19 the blue and white Mary Kahler’s our class flapper, So happy, bright and gay. Without her, we know our class, Couldn’t live another day. Kerry’s a careful fellow, With him its hit or miss; But we know that when he arms, He’ll be sure to get Sis. The town was in an uproar, And the people were in a whirl; For racing up Second street came a Ford, And the driver, it was Myrl. Ruth Whitmore expects to be a teacher, Her subject will be music alone; We know that all her pupils Will surely strive for tone. Now Marg’s a very ambitious girl, Who intends to be a nurse; I advise you not to be her patient, ()r you 11 surely get a ride in a hearse. Heisey’s the same quiet chap, That he has always been; When opportunity knocks at his door, He’ll be sure to let her in. John Hench is a wonderful orator, And a wonderful actor as well; If Laura gets him for a husband, She’ll be a lucky belle. We have a nut in our class, Who’s never acting a fool, And if Hazel should ever leave us; It wouldn’t seem like school. “Pete’s” another of those fellows Who’s so popular with the girls; We don’t know if it’s his pleasing maimers, Or if its just his curls. 20 THE BLUE AND WHITE There’s a boy in our class, Who never wears a frown. Doc’s always doing something funny, He’s our professional clown. Mutz works down at Soule’s; He runs their grocery truck; When he sets his sail for life, We wish him the best of luck. Dot’s going to he a teacher, We hear that every day. But we all know, that she won't be. If Corney has any say. Edith is a country girl. She comes from Butler too, We’re very glad she’s in our class; Her smile keeps us from being blue. Now Stew hopes to be president some day, We hope he doesn’t win, For if he does; Well Goodness Gracious What a turmoil our nation will be in. Through our long years of hardship Fisher was a faithful friend, Always being at our sides With a helping hand to lend. There’s a member of our class. Who hasn't been with us for quite a year, And we’re sorry it hasn’t been longer, For it’s Helen Gehr. Clayton’s our one classmate, Who’s got a wonderful voice. And to think lie’s one of us; It makes us all rejoice. Corney is so absent minded, He reminds us of a dove; The cause for this, we cannot tell, Unless it is that lie’s in love. THE BLUE AND WHITE 21 When you meet a long faced school marm, A-strolling up the street; Just remember that it’s Laura, With her smile so pert and sweet. Cleatus comes from the country, He’s a tiller of the soil, And when we find that we need help, lie’s ever ready and royal. We wish to thank the faculty, For the time with us they’ve striven; And also for the detention periods, Which they’ve so freely given. —R. Wiess Ruth Weise On the even tenor Of her way she goes, Nor nods nor becks To any male she knows.

C. Gettysburg Trip The Junior Class of the Newport High School took their annual trip to the Gettysburg Battlefield on May 13, 1928. The Class left 24 THE BLUE AND WHITE Newport about six o’clock in the morning under the chaperonage of Miss Eva Robinson and Mr. W. K. Dean. After arriving in Gettysburg a guide was secured that has been used by Newport High School for a number of years. The entire party then proceeded on the tour of the battlefield. Many points of interest were pointed out to the party by the guide and numerous stops were made at various places. While en route across the battlefield Charles Heisey had the misfortune of having three flat tires but luckily these seemed to be the only flat tires that were with the class. At noon the Class stopped at Spangler’s Spring and ate a box luncheon that the girls had prepared. Many pictures were taken during this stop. Due to lack of time at the battlefield it was impossible for the Class to have their pictures taken in a group. After completing tin tour of the battle ground the party started for Harrisburg. One car containing Ralph Beasom, Walter Beatty, Clarence Kerr, Frank Sweger and Stuart Smith went to Mercersburg where they visited Mercersburg Academy to see Haven Frank, a graduate of Newport High School in ’26. Later in the day the entire ('lass met in Harrisburg in the evening and after taking in a show returned home. —S.S. Washington Trip Although this material goes to press before the Senior Class takes their annual trip to Washington all plans have been completed in preparation for the paying of homage to our national capitol. The trip this year is pre-arranged by an agency that makes a special business of school parties. This year the Senior Class goes to Annapolis and while there they have the privilege of watching the Cadets drill. This is a feature that no other class has been able to obtain.

S. “Clarence” January 30 and 31, the Senior Class presented the play “Clarence.” It was considered the best Senior play ever given by any Senior Class of the Newport High School. Miss Tressler directed the play and she proved herself very capable and efficient. It was a great success and went over with a “bang.” “Clarence,” the hero played by Alan Wolf seemed to be the source of evil and the cause of pleasure in the Wheeler household. Mr. Wheeler, Harry Blaine, awoke to the fact that he had a fine wife all because of Clarence. Mrs. Wheeler, Catherine Kell, remembered she still had a romantic heart when the moon was shining. Miss Pinney, the governess, played by Ruth Whitmore, was dumb to the charms of Clarence at first, but later “love found a way.” Cora, Dorothy Swartz, found her ideal in Clarence. Everyone loved the lovesick Cora. I’d like to know if “Dot” has had any experience. Bobby, John Hench, looked up to Clarence who did his best to help Bobby in his love affairs. Mr. Hubert Stem, Stuart Smith, the “grass widower,” used method in his madness in his suit for Miss Pinney’s hand although his method failed.

Our Optimism I’in glad the sky is painted blue; Ami the earth is painted green; And such a lot of nice fresh air All sandwiched in between. Isn’t that a thought of a real optimist? And it expresses the thought of our class perfectly, because we have been glad and happy —glad because we could accomplish our tasks and happy because we did. Always, in the four years that we have been in high school we have tried to do our best in every thing. Scholarship, athletics, dramatics and music have all claimed our attention and we have never failed in any. Nothing has been too large or small to keep our interest. The class of ’29 has tackled all its work with a smile on its lips and a song in its heart, and we all believe in the words of the poet: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own. 34 THE BLUE AND WHITE The Newest Styles of Men’s and Young Men’s L. M.

Our class, last year, started a custom which we hope all the future classes will strive to uphold—that of a Junior Prom. It was indeed a thrilling moment for us when the orchestra struck up a lively melody and the (irand March started off. Never before had our auditorium seen such a gay crowd. The real event of the evening was the “feed.” Those serene, Dignified Seniors certainly did sate their appetites in the sumptuous repast. This year our class set a new standard in amateur plays, when we presented “Clarence.” You will all remember those enjoyable hours when you saw before you some of the best acting Newport has ever known. We even heard it whispered about that “Clarence” was one of the best plays presented in this vicinity. Perhaps some of you still remember two plays given when we were Juniors, “Washington’s First Defeat” and “Station YYYY.” These plays are another thing that we can add to our accomplishments. We have tried to put everything over to the best of our ability and I think that I can easily say we have succeeded in this. Not only in these things has the class of ’29 excelled, but also in scholarship. This has been one of our hobbies, to head the list and lead instead of just being a follower. Our class has always been one of the leaders in school work. We all feel proud now when we think we are Seniors, having worked and strived during the past four years to reach this goal. We are ready to leave this school, which has been our home, to tackle more difficult tasks and to make our own way in life. But as -we have tried anti succeeded in the past, so we will in the future. Again we turn to the word of the poet: When times are bad an’ folks are sad An’ gloomy day by day, Jest try your best at lookin’ glad An’ whistle ’em away. Don’t mind how troubles bristle, Jest take a rose or thistle. Hold your own An’ change your tone An’ whistle, whistle, whistle! A song is worth a world o’ sighs. When red the lightnings play, Look for the rainbow in the skies An’ whistle ’em away. 36 THE BLUE AND WHITE Presbyterian F. M. Snyder Co. Church COAL UBIKO ALL-MASH FEEDS REV. H. M.

H. 8. completed one of the best seasons on record when they finished their schedule of sixteen games with thirteen victories. Much credit for the fine work of the local five must go to Coach Rothenberger who took over an outfit which i.-eluded a number of individual playing stars and made a fast passing, fast scoring outfit out of it. The basket ball fans of Newport this past season were given the best basket ball affords. A five that worked so smoothly together that there were but few occasions for individual stars. W bile Captain Cumbler led the way with 2M(i points in sixteen games, it was through the passing of the other four players that he received the opportunity to score so frequently. The team will lose six players through graduation this .June, but Coach Rothenberger has further praise due him for his judicious Use of reserve playing during the past season. Practically ten players saw service in every game regardless of the score and this tact brings the prediction of a good five next winter. The players who will be lost are: Captain Cumbler. Sweger, McNaight, forwards; right, Watson, Neiswender, guards. One of the three defeats chalked up against the Blue and White 42 THE BLUE AND WHITE THE OLDEST BANK IN PERRY CO.
