' oll, heie's your old friend back to see you again, and I have a lot to tell you, too. Does Helen Snydor really like Dob Kou.;h? You re asking us and we're telling you, And how. It's too bad Helen, but Botty Wright got there first. Did you know Virginia Campbell has been seen quite frequently with Bud Sweger? It looks like this is to make a match. What can you say about it, Ginny? Wo wonder why Wiimn Gabel's fa e gets sq red when anyone mentions Charles name? Maybe she thinks they mean Charles. Black. Much curiosity has been aroused anong the student body by the fact the Dave Williams has not been seen lately in the company of Jo Boova. We see that the Acker-Fliclcinger romanco is steadily growing into deeper and more lasting affection. Henry and Dot have been seen sporting several times in the new Chevrolet. Henry has only a learners' permit, but Dot has a driver's license, so you see, there's always a way. No wonder Earl Lesh is always seeh ’. earing a smile lately. He has been datin Mary Eby several tines,and maybe his chances are pretty good. How about it, Earl? I ha'-e noticed a familiar face among the stv:dent body, that of Mildred Latchford. You. better watch your step, Mildred, because I think that E'reshman, Wayne Stephens, has been watching you pretty closely. Isn't love .grand? Just ask Wayne Kline and Edith Carl and I think they will assure you that it is the most wonderful thing in the would. What happens when two young boys' ged; a severe attack of pupoy love ? Well, °orny Oren end Gordon H0ke surely are a ,_ood oxannle : when they are with’ those two eighth graders , Patty 30olc and Margaret ‘ Boova. It has been rumore-' thaJ they cade a nice foursome .at the Farm Show. For further information, ask Sonny. Bill Numer hasn't been ■oir- to Millerstown so much lately. We wonder if he and Mary Louise may ha e had a fall-out? THE BLUE 6 WHiT E Ruth Williams must bo truing to et heir name in history. When oiur. biron; h tho State Museum at Harris rg, Ruth fell over the Magana L'xon lino. Some joke I'd say. Is it Marjorie Lupfer, Jean ’ icicle, or Lois Reioinger that Lloyd Mangle likos?

At the present time, we, as students know where our school ranks in these two fields of activity, ut it is a question .as to whether wo knew the scholastic standing of our school. Every spring, members of the Senior Class go to New Bloomfield to con ete with other schools of Pe: ry County for scholarship honors. For the oast two years that recognition ‘nas been received by a member of Newport High School. In the year 1936 our pupils ranked highest in every subject including English, Social Studies, Science, Foreign Languages, and Mathematics. These facts.show us, then,-whore our school stands scholastically,and along with hhe knowledge of our athletic and dramatic ability, we should remember the most important achieve ment which can be obtained by a school------scholarship, He who never does more Than he gets paid for.

I don't be-:lieve that they realize that •children in order to grow to •be great men and women must |be gradually untied from the : apron strings and given iresponsibilities. By not do ling this the parent destroys ;the child's confidence and loriginalit ; in fact,it keep; :the child from even having :these traits.

THE BLUE 6 W.HIT£ THE TRAGIC LINCOLN 'HE HAPPY WASHi :GTON On February 12, the Hnited States celebrates . the birth of our rett Civil ftar President, Lincoln Almost every citizen of this great country can tell of the lowly child-hood of this Savior of Our Country1.' His yearning for education is c : n-non ’xnovdodge It is impossible to forget ;he occupation of his youthj for ho was knovm as the rr.il-split-ter. But how n ny people in America realize why there was a 1‘fays a nad look in his face? It has been said, The -rent tragedy of Lincoln’s life vns not ills • ssassination, but his marriage'.' If ho had not married Mary Todd, he probably would not have been President, hut he vould have been happy. In spite of the fact that he once loft her standing at the alter, eho still - anted him for her husband. Finally she achieved her purpose, and i mediately after the marriage, she -ado a politician cf him. Liner In - ns not happy with her, for she v s selfish and domineering. Lin-c In's friends, for he had many, never dared to visit him in his rone. 'Tis wife incurred debts s .rent that his salary as President w ild not pay then, his death vms, for hi , _ merely a release fr the constant nagging of his ilfc. Is it any wonder that Lincoln's face wore that look of perwetual sadness? JOE ZAMNIO THE MODERN SHOE SHOP Ton days after the celebration of Lincoln's birthday, the American public pays its tribute to the Father of the Country , George •anhington. bis life m.s a direct contrast to that of Lincoln. His childhood in a southern hone was sheltered and happy. Waited on by slaves, he faced none of the teni-ble hards' ips of the Emancipator's life His education was given to him idthout having to struggle for it. %ile very youthful, he was a surveyor, aide, and plantation owner. Culd there be mere difference between these two , rer. statesmen? Washington married iiartha Curtis, a gentle, loving woman, vath whom he -•os very happy. When he led this nation, he was loved by every citizen, for ho Pilot at a time when the whole country was unitod in • rder to gain independence from England. In' his lovely hone, Washington and his wife often entertained their friends, fer Martha Washington never had uantr-ms such as characterized the life f Mafy Todd. Strange as it may seen, Washington never occupied the '• hite House, but he laid the site for the city of Washington. Washington died in his hone in 1799, having lived a fu.l], contented life.

'38 HG.V I CHOOSE MY BOO Its I do not find the task of selecting my books difficult. Very often by reading the review of a book, I am able to determine whether I shall enjoy the story. bright jacket is always attractive to me until I see the title, which influences me a great deal. I remember the story, sunset Pass , a book orange in color. This was as attractive as the title, and I enjoyed tne story very much, I am never influenced by a best-seller list unless the book is rec-commended by a teacher or a friend my own age. Before selecting the book which a friend may suggest, I consider the tastes of my friend as well as my own. Often I choose a book because I have liked ..other books by the same author. For instance, I .enjoyed Dic-kens's . • Christmas Darol, and by this I.was influenced to 'read Bavid Cop-erf ie Id and Great Expectations by the same author.

How truthfully Shakespeare ex resse the relation of music to man. V.e live our lives to the muted strains of music. Sad, gay, reckless or peaceful, it reflects our moods er.ch day. As I sit here dreaming, I see millions cf uothers singing lull-bys to their tived babies -t the close of day. f,'any years 1 ter, the same children, grown men and women now, seel; peace and forgetfulness from mus i c. Our lives can be compared to some cf the great musical compositions. Starting out! : eacefully ..nd harmonously, i they resemble our hap y child-: hood. But the music becomes: 1ouder re .ches and louder, until it a cliir.,.x of sound. ou : think of the horrible cl,,oh ;of guns, the screams of dying •men, and you tremble with the :i orror of it .-.11. Then, ,s if :to soothe your troubled ;th ug: ts, tr.e music becomes |softer -nd more gentle, uiitil :it finally dies away into si -:lence, leaving ' ou contentedly ■dreaming of peace. Such is •the effect of music on the ■imagination. V'hen, in the turmoil of ■the .vorld today, you find your-iself tire'1 of living and you [wish to struggle no longer, :relax and listen to some groat imusical composition. You will if ace the world with renewed Icourage and determination.

The Girls' Basketball Squad has begun to think that this statement is true, and doing its utmost to carry it out to its '.Nth degree. The Blue and White Sextet lost three games, but thejr have given their othtr eleven competitors a pretty fast chase. A game was last to Middletown and two games to Marysville. The games won were: two from Liverpool; two from Juniata Joint; one from Duncannon; on©from Bloomfield; one from Ickesburg; and one from T.C.H. The game won from Duncannon, Newport's greatest rival, was-very interesting and exciting. The score at the end of the first quarter was 1-6, favoring Duncannon, but with the substitution of the varsity, the game ended with a 17------11 score. The two games won from Bloomfield and T.O.hJ were won by two points and the game won from Ickesburg was won by eight points. The Newport Girls, have woft tfteifc league games played so far. The Varsity Guards, Miller, Troutman, and Williams,are doing their best to make this season a successful one.
