During the past month mother nature has seen fit to cover our landscape with a deep blanket of white, much to the disgust of the faculty members as well as to the delight of many pupils. It is quite entertaining to see our fellow students struggling through huge drifted snow-piles on their way to and from school. They make such a strange contrast to those i ho ride easily in sleds, to the tune of Jingle Bells.

K. S. at all. For one whole week many have been snowbound and thoso who have been able to brave the storms have missed thoso absentees greatly. As we look at the snow, piled high around our school we feel just a little bit lonesome for that time of year called Spring , when the green grass shall cover our campus, taking the place of the snow.

Before he gets off, a girl from the office (Betty Rowe) enters. When sh.6 tells him wiia-t a great part his honesty plays in the minds of many people, he weakens and tells her the story of his life. Kow he used to stee.l and was put in prison, and when he was left out he went straight Tor inny years, out how he was hack to his old ways of living. After ha'was through speaking she said, The man who has been honest so long that he has made himself think that he is honest can’t steal, To pro;a her faith in him she gives him her money to invest and he decides to go straight. This play will be presented under the direction of Mr. McLain at Duncannon, February 27, 1336; Peas manning says the Americans were in the Crusades.

Johnnie's Mistake It has come to the reporter's ear that quite si while ago, Johnnie Long was visiting ih UiJ] ers!wm or 3 fine evening, .There a.lsayiVj happens to be a pair, of trees in that city; one of .whom Johnnie had -undertaken to call on,. •. 1'- Thinking he res talking-to. the one twin he st- r'7 erted talking about the other, but sad is the story , the pne he was talking about was the one he was talking to. f A New Station Just ask Lawrence Trout what his favorite Radio Station is. He is sure to say N.3.C. Have You Heard This One One evening, oh.' it's not necessary to go into detail but, Pudd Guts hall, Mary Sby, and Harry Lesh happened .to be sitting together,.

Well, you all know how Hoke love3 to tease; he teased Geary all Friday morning about his cane, but his laugh didn't last many hours for the next morning he was walking on crutches having torn the ligaments away from the bone in his ankle. Wouldn't' It Be Strange If: hr, Rothenberger did not wear a blue shirt and green tie. The Moyer Brothers would get to school early. Leon Steckley would lose his origanality. The Seniors ar.d Sophmores would give the poor Jun—• ior3 a chance at the $15. Grover Kistler did not have a lot of business to tend to. Walter Baumtack wouldn't sleep in Study Hall. Newport High School Girls forget the boys-also vice versa. Johnnie Jones would reduce Naomi Hirnes would get as serious after a boy as Ruth did. Joe DeLuca played center position in basketball. Stanley Bupp would lose his frown. Wayne Leonard would forget and comb his hair some morning. Jane Wright would lose interest in the boys. Harry Lesh wouldn't flirt with every girl in High School (ana maybe out of H. S. for all we know.) There were no, Little Audrey Stories floating around the High School. Everyone would pass the first semester. Ann Sanderson is going to sell White Flash. Dot Flickinger is going to sell Smith'3 Hosiery. Ruth Williams is going to cleric at Lipsitts. Betty Stultz is going to. cut hair. kiary Eby is going to clerk at the Weis Store. Naomi Himes is going to sell cars and gasoline at the Lesh Garage, Sylvia Baker is going to raise turkeys at the Trout Hatchery. Wonder If? 5 BLUE .AMD WHITE N2V SETTES Con't from page 4 A BREAK FOR THE REPORTER You r.ll. know how people c.re when it comes to telling the truth about their love affairs. It is just as ha d getting anything out of them as it is to get out of he ing an English assignment. Well the reporter got ohe low down on a lot of people when the ambitious seniors played Tell the Truth or Take a Dare , Monday morning. Take a Squint at these confessions. Norman Wright--Likes Lucille Oren better than any other girl. Edna Crist--All her affections stay in the Eaker family. Wilmer Hoke--Thinks Jean Kepner is the one and only for him. Jack Erandt--Car.11 decide whether he likes Eetty Rowe or Helen Rlieam better. Evelyn Spangler--Likes five boys, but can't decide which ore she likes most. Virginia Kell--Roddy Eaker and she spent an enjoyable . Sunday evening at home. Taintor Smith--The adjective which best describes Jean Ilinebaugh is agreeable. ' SCUG’TRITLR OF N.H.S. Nevin Geary, a popular Senior and superb saxaph-one player, has written two fascinating songs entitled Love in the Minor Key and Dream Castles , which we hope to heur soon on every radio program that i3 broadcast' . DO YOU -7I£H TOO? Very often.ycu hear students throughout High School expressing their desire for some physical charm of someone else. So, as a result of hearing many exclamations such as these, we cane to the conclusion that the model girl would have-------- Hair like Catherine DeLuca , Eye3 like Edna Crist Complexion like Faye Leers Figure lixe liar-trite Cooney Talent like Betty Rowe Personality like Betty Acker Teeth like Evelyn Spangieur 6 BLUE AMD WHITE NEWSETTES Con't from page 5 Also we came to the conclusion, .because of similar exclamations that the model boy of Newport H. S.. would have------- Hair like. Jack Brandt Eyes like. Robert Kough Complexion like Norman Wright Build like Harry Lesh Talent like Taintor Smith Personality like Edward Patterson Technique like Robert Moyer Teeth like Wilmer Hoke Walk like Walter Bumbaugh WILL WE? There are some things which the Seniors have always wished to see happen within their own class. Just a few are mentioned below, Fred Fry and John Jones on a Double Date. Dozen copies of Towne's Social problems. Jack Brandt without his hair waved. Florence Kirkpatrick not blushing. Harry Lesh and Helen MilLer that way again. Taintor Smith'no't tormenting someone. Lucille Oren not using those eyes of hers. Wilmer Hoke not flirting with some girl. And Most of all The Whale Class Silent--Just Once CORRECTION .' In one of the previous issues the fact was mentioned that David Shiebly couldn't whistle. We wish to correct that mistake, for lately it was proven otherwise. One day recently in Latin class, a piercing naise broke the stillness and quite startled the entire class. Investigating we found that Dave accidently whistled--so pardon us, please. WHO? Who was the Senior girl who shrank from the sight of blood. And who was the Senior boy who was responsible for this cruel trick? We wonder .' BLUE AMD WHITE NBT.VSETTEC Con't from page 6 I •• EFFECTS OF. DA..E WINTER Due to the temperature and conditions of the weather lately, our school was unbalanced for a few days. The first lionday morning .after the heavy snowfall a few braved the storm to come to school only to find that the majority of students had remained at home or were unable to get in from the country. As a result little school work was carried on that morning and school was dismissed for the afternoon. The following i,ionday, pupils came to school only, to find that part of the. high school was too cold to study in, due to some pipes being frozen. CPERETTA : Do you know why everyone has been so busy the last few weeks? 'Cure I knrw--you went and guessed it. Its operetta time in Newport High School ! The operetta which has been chosen for this years presentation is Tulip Time. This opei'etta, presented in two acts, is a combination of romance, mystery, and humor, making in all a thrilling story. The cast Which has been selected are as follows (as they first'appear in the story) Hans---Fredrick Fry t J Aunt Anna---Lucille Cren ' Katinka---Helen Rheam . Hen,rick Van Ooater--Norman fright Christina---Jean Stamuaugh Theophilus . cSpindle--Hevin Geary Ned Baxter--Taintor Smith Dick V arren--raul Iloyer In addition to this cast, they are supported by chorouses, numbering approximately sixty-five pupils Let's all give our loyal support; t � make this the outstanding activity of the year LCVE IN e wonder if David Shiebly really likes some Senior girl? e aren't sure but he certainly had a girl cornered in the Senior Room one , ednesday noon hour.

Well, I'll prove it by reminding you that practice for the operetta is in full sway. This year its Tulip Time . The setting is not in Japan tut in that pic turesque land of dynes, ’-’ollarid. Just imagine yourself in a quaint Dutch Village, reeking with the scents of colorful flowers and overflowing with blue-eyed belles of the land } But now lets come down.to earth. Its colorful and catchy music, its laugh-provoking plot, and a huge company of sixty five, plus its vivid setting, should make it a grand success ! So besides being interested in it ourselves, let's help to arouse an interest in others for its benefit. BOOK PU07LE Continued from page q 5.

Newport High School has become a part of the National Youth Administration which is an association trying to keep more young people in school. This plan provides special work for pupils for which they will receive a snail wage and reward. In Perry County, forty-six offers were given, ten were taken by Newport high school students. The type of work which they do takes in library work, office work, painting of stage scenery, reading books, and getting the auditorium prepared for assemblies. This work is done only after school hours. ARTIfTIC INQUIRIES Our school wan honored by the presence' of an art entertainer in the assembly Friday morning, January 10. The artist, Raymond F. Bubb, is a native. Pennsylvanian, his home being in York, Pa. Hr. Bubb's unique manner of drawing cartoons and--caricatures was hailed with delight by all. His chalk drawing of a tropical sunset scene was so beautifully realistic that, had we been a little more imaginative, we would probably have suffered a sun stroke. Mr. Bubb made next a Holland windmill scene entirely of pieces of various colored felt material. The most unique feature on the program was a sand picture illustrating the well known poem, A House By the Side of the Road . Hr. Bubb has been following this profession for sixteen years.- He has studied under several individual artists and at the Landry Art School at Cohoes, Nev; York • This year Mr. Bubb is touring the states of Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Salesman: Mow did you happen to have an accident with that new car I sold you? II. Moyer: I couldn't put out my hand while I was backing out of the garage. 12 THE YOUNGER GENERATION In previous issues of the 'Blue and ' hite the journalist interviewed some of the prominent men and women of our vicinity. It is only naoural ■•'nut the next interviews are those from some of th'e popular younger set of our acquaintance. Incidentally, all the younG people mentioned are graduates of N.H.S. Now for the sketch that our journalist has prepared for us. Nancy Smith, a popular member of the fair sex, graduated from Newport High School in 1932. She continued her education by taking a Post Graduate course and by going to Hood College. Nancy is at home now, and she is often seen with a tall handsome chap. Charles Horting, Jr., best known as Buck , is one of Newport's jazz kings He is employed at Horting's Service Station. Last summer he was joined in the bonds of Wedlock with Kay Boyer----- now he's a-we 11, married man. Patricia McCulloch, after graduating from Newport Hich School, went to Penn Hall at Chambers-burgi Then she attended Stratford at Danville, Virginia. After completing her college career,she taught in a kindergarden school at Bethlehem At present she is at home participating in the social events of the younger set Russel Horting, Shipper to us, completed his school days in 1934 While in school he was •the star of all athletic teams. Skip then was employed by Henry's at Newport. Now lie is the manager of one of Henry's stores at Mr. Holly By the way, it might be interesting to know that----- Skipper gave his girl friend a diamond for Xmas This completes the interviews by the journalist of the people about town.

This was the last view of the United States.

Another source of constant entertainment further south wore the porpoise and tho flying fish. The latter, although somo-what hard to soe during tho oidday, made a striking picture as tho sun struck their sails in late afternoon. The porpoise-slightly larger than tho flying-fish accompanied us in large schools tho whole journey They seemingly roil..along the water, but the actual motion is' a five foot jump into tho air.

It has become so commonplace to us” that we find it in impossible to imagine be- inrr without one. '7e accept the dictionary as an article that is essential to every walk cf life without giving a thought to the author or- to the great task he had in com- piling it. Not until 1807 did Noah Weyster begin his work-------the dictionary which was to be one of .the greatest accomplishments of all time. Heretofore he had published a few pamphlets of considerable influence i.n molding public opinion as well as a spelling book which was widely used These literary productions led him on to his work on the dictionary. For ten years Webster studied the English language, gathering material for his book. One year was spent in Europe in preparation. When the first edition was published it contained seventy-six thousand words; twelve thousand more words and about forty thousand more definitions than had appeared in an English dictionary previously published. Since that time it has been revised until it now contains six-hundred thousand words. In view of the fact that this book is so indispensable to twentieth century living let us acknowledge our gratitude to Noah Webster—the author’of the dictionary BOOK PUZZLE Continued from page 9 8.

WHITE lfc BLUE AMO EXCHANGES HELPED liy • How flustered Marie we3 .' Rob had asked to call at her home on the night of February 14, Valentine's Eve. For a long time it had been whispered around the school that Rob had a case” on Idarie, but never before had he asked to call at her home. She was delighted, of course, and was not hesitant in telling him so. Now she wished she had invented' an excuse, because what on earth would she do to entertain him? She might play old records on the victrola, or play the radio or piano, but all those things were stale .--She wanted to be different. How about making candy?--No, that was out of the question. She had often heard Rob criticize that sort of entertainment. Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by the mailman, who brought her one of the magazines from a nearby high school. Just as suddenly her thoughts were turned again to the same subject as before, only this time the question was solved. Why not read and criticize the High School Exchanges? It was the very answer to the maiden's prayer .' February fourteenth was really here .' Marie was seated in the living room, twisting her handkerchief. (Probably a tad case of nervousness) Suddenly the dooroell rang. Marie ran to the door and admitted her young lover, who carried under his arm a huge box of heart shaped chocolates. After taking his coat and offering him a seat on the sofa, Marie told him of her plans for the evening. Rob was delighted .' They got out the school papers, sat on the sofa together and, accompanied by the thrilling music of the radio, criticized the magazine. 'Student Echoes' from Thompsontown High is very interesting, isn't it, Marie? So is this paper from Kane High School. I wonder how Marysville High types their magazine, it certainly is neat. Lobk, Rob.' exclaimed Marie, Here's a paper clear from Oakland, Californis. Isn't Trish-Trash comical? The Freeburg High School publishes an interesting paper too. 19 EXCHANGES iIEL?ED Con't from page This is a new one, P.o'o, It'3 the Kaldron from Eliz-abethviile.

As the guest arrived, many of them enjoyed looking at some very old f. pictures that had been gathered from individuals throughout the town. The first event on the program was the calling of the different classes, at which time those members joined the line which later marched around the auditorium. Several prizes were awarded, the prize being a box of candy: The Best Banr.er-Mrs. J. Austin Smith Mrs. C. C. Brandt The Best Costume-Mrs. A. E. Fawcett The Youngest Alumni-Mildred Kinzer The One Coming The Furthest-Robert Trout After this pictures, which were unjoyed by everybody, were shown through the projector. Then came the election of new officers, the following persons being elected for the year 1930 : °resident-Roy Wagner Vice President-Miss rern Ludwig Secrctary-Jean Clark Treasure-Alfred ' 'olpert Refreshments were then served; followed by several hours of enjoyable dancing to the music of Geary's Orchestra. The retiring president, Haven Frank, deserves a lot of credit for planning such an enjoyable evening- because t t was on which was enjoyed by young and old; those who came from far and near; by all who assembled to again meet th£ir old friends and classmates. 21 BLUE AMD WHITE ALUIJ17I NET'S TILLIAM 'JcNITT Con't. from page go '■’illiam McNitt, a graduate of the Class of 1932 of N.

SO!IE YEARS AGO It might be interesting to read the following passages, which were taken from a 1921 copy of The Blue and Vhite. Rolland Adan.s was Eiitor-in-Ch icf at that time • Hiss Robinson—Parse the word 'kiss I Helen Mogul (Absently)--This word is a noun but is usually used as a conjunction. It is never declined and more common than proper. It is not very singular, in that it is used in the plural. It agrees with me.

Without it we would be unable to cAjoy or receive any benefit from life. Most of us think of conversation as merely inforifial or familiar talk a long acquaintances. However it is more than that.It 'emvolves the relationship of individuals to books as well as with nature. In these the conversation is of a silent i.editative nature, but without them our life would be shallow and narrow. COLD When rose the golden sunshine, The world was golden too, Each true, brook and grass blade, Nad such a golden hue. Eetween the bushes in the grcve, There danced a golden ray, Between each crevice in the bridge, Were sunbeams blithe and ,_ay. As earth awoke and day passed on, A bonny lass sang a golden song, Then to penetrate the human heart, A golden deed she did import. —Betty Rowe 26 r t D LU r r AMD r L JUDGE THE WINNER Series-—2 We are going to ask you to be the judge of STEINBERG'S BALLOT LIMERICK CONTEST.
