THE BLUE16 WHITE ! lLF -R£LIANCE SMILES ihousanus of lives are |being ruineu today by a certain group cf unknowingly •selfish parents. These par-•ents like to feel that their •children must depend upon |them; they like that feeling :of importance. 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. It's not only •destructive to the child out •to the family as a whole. A. Washington was a friend : iof the great humorist, and says: •that Kark Twain once sat in the; • smoking room of a steamer and : :listened for an hour to the re-: •markable stories. Boys , he drawled, These • •feats of yours recall an ad- | •venture of my own in Hannibal.: |There was a fire one night and : told man Hankinscn got caught • •in the fourth story of the •burning house. None of the : jladders was long enough to ;reach him. The crowd stared at-•one another with awed eyes.NC- | :body could think of anything to: •do. Then all of a sudden,boys,: •an idea occurred to me.

As these children grow, : nd their parents die, they •find themselves in a strange jstate of affairs, for others :c re not as ea er as their •parents were to bear their •responsibilities. These peo- • ple, of whom there are a •very great many, in oruer to •live and bacause of this com-jmon interest seek interaepen-•dence and security by join-ling unions, political parties |etc. They re afraia to face •the world, to be self-reliant •so the.) seek protection from • the world in this way. Anyone who is self- re- •liant and a non-conformist is• Jdestined to rise above the | :cc non herd and to be a great: • Somebody fetched a rope and; |with great presence of mind, I | ■flung the end of it up to the | •old man.

S, many honors. The shelf of trophies in the office is symbolical of achievements won in drama'ic and athletics, over a period of years. 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.

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.
