SECTION □ i ni the - BLUE AND WHITE February 9, 1938 Newport, Pa, Page 1 ACTIVITY NIGHT Operetta Principals Chosen All students interested in trying out for principal parts in Operetta report to Library after school. This was the announcement that was on the Bulletin Board one morning. All during the day such questions as, Are you going to try out for the Operetta? or � iio do you think will get the leading parts? were buzzing around the school. That evening, after school, there was much commotion in the Library when about thirty students reported for principal tryouts. After much straining of voices and stretching of necks to reach certain high notes, the principal characters were chosen. These were chosen not only for their tone of voice but also for their volumn. For the two leading characters, Ruth Heisey and Albert Dorwart were chosen. Ctuer students who secured parts are: Rooert Kough, Marjerie Lupfer, Samuel Henry, Robert Jones, Betty Acker, Jean Gelnett, Martha Hultzapole and Herbert Enck. There are a few principal parts yet to be chosen. Operetta practices have been started and with the cooperation of teachers and students, An Old Kentucky Garden should be a great success.

The first number will be Auld Lang Syne followed by the boys' solo selection My Heart's In The Highlands'.' The combined chorus will then sing The Lor-eley , A Cappella. A popular song Arkansas Traveler frequently heard on the radio programs will ensue. The girls will render a solo number Farewell To Thee as the closing selection.

Birdine has already taken the examination given to her by the D.A.R. organization and is patiently waiting for a reply Here's the best of luck, Birdine! Music is Progressing In Our School At the oasketbalT game between Marysville and our school, the band shoved . r.uchenthusiasm for their teams by the fine se-lelections they played. TLa band also played several stunt numbers in assembly which the students very much enjoyed. The orchestra has practiced every Monday evening at 6:25 and plays regularly for assembly. The music teachers of the county have met twice to plan for the annual springfestival. Miss Ickes of the Duncannon Schools has been electedchairman to succeed Miss Moyer.

STUDENTS ENJOY PROGRAM On January 26th, the student body greatly enjoyed an assembly program rendered by the Utica Jubilee Singers, who represent the Utica Industrial School of New York. There were five in number-; namely, Charles Williams, Luther Saxin, George Raysten, W. G. Carver, and Clarence Ratliff. They sang several Negro • spirituals, sone of Stephen Foster's songs, a and others. Charles Williams, a first tenor, favored us with a solo, When It's TwiJ’.ght on the Trail, and received so much applause that he sang another Without A Song . THE BLUE ANJ '.'KITE Page 3 Ag. Class Visits Farm Sho The agricultural class, under the supervision of Mr. Harold Park, visited the Farm Show in Harrisburg on Tuesday,January 16. The boys, say they enjoyed the show anu received a great deal of educational value from their inspection of animals and farm machinery. But let them speak for themselves. A few of tne boys quite earnestly told me their opinions of this Farm Show. Ray Gable says, It wasn't bad. I enjoyed the woodchopper most of all. Robert McNaughton replied in answer tr questions asked him .tnat it was all right and he enjoyed the shows up above post. These two boys voiced the thoughts of all the boys in gen- Hurray For The P.S.P.A. Three cheers for the Pennsylvania School paper Association. It has given the members of the Blue and White Staff a chance to go to Hershey. It not only gave them the trip, but also quite a few tips on hbw to improve the school paper. Such as having a two col-umpage on all pages and slip sheeting every p£ ge. There was a double feature movie at the Community Theater, The Ice Fellies of 1938 at the Ice Falace, and a Reception and Dance in the Card room of the Community Building. These were very entertaining. Bet ter Cooperation Given As Quality For Student Body The student body of Newport High School has many good qualities but it also has its faults.

It costs nothing t teach boys and girls good manners, but once learned in the home, they will carry a young man, or a young woman, further along the road to success, than any other grace they can acquire.

THE BLUE AND WHITE Page 7 Seventh Grade News All the people v.ho attended the basketball game on January the 18th might have seen Bertha, dressed to look like sweet sixteen. And vho was that friend with her? He is supposed to be sixteen years old. (I guess that is why Bertha wanted to look so old.) It couldn’t be Red from Duncannon? Or could it? Doris Miller, one of the pretty lasses in the seventh grade must be musically inclined. She plays a violin in the orchestra. Doris also plays the piano. She sang a duet with Jeanne Melfrling on Entertainment Night in December. Paul Wilson is one of the boys that you usually see looking in the eleventh and twelfth grade doors. He beats the drum for the band. I hear that he is going to be a future 'football star for Nev port High. I wonder why Mary always goes up a certain aisle for her coat? Earl Fleisher would have a flat tire. Edward Harbaugh would get to school on time. Mary Kell wouldn’t, always be talking of the boys.(Carl Becker and Dermis Adams). Joan Smith wouldn't laugh any in art class. Mr. Kiy wouldn't 0ive us any assignment in History or English LaVonne Clay would get thin. Donald Hostetler wouldn't be studying all the time. Sara Jury wouldn't always be looking at Chester Heisey. Margaret Rusn wouldn't always be wearing the ring a Seventh grader gave to her. Tuelma Derr would not be so quiet all the time. Kathrine Kapp wouldn't be thinking about Bob Jones. Reba Sheibley didn't get hurt or scratched every Friday in Gym. Betty Rudy w uld quit giggling so much and grow a little. David Pa :e would fall asleep some day in class while daydreaming. Ruth Eumbaugh didn't fall a-sleep in Geography class and would answer a few questions. Do you know that Merlin Harper likes his job closing the door and windows during a fire drill? But he.says there aren't enough fire drills. Too bad that it is so cold for fire drills now. Eighth Grade News What would happen if: Ann Vigilant'e face would not get red when she hears Leroy Zimmerman's name. Dennis Adams would not have his lessons finished. Dorothy Miller would answer a question in any class. Alice Noll wouldn’t chew phew-ing gum. Freshman News 9-B Wouldn’t it be a wonder if Botty Gilney would quit looking so sleepy in school? We nope whe gets more sleep this semester. Carrie Feltman visited New Je.sey between semesters, visit— ing a 3irl friend for a few days. We hope she had a good time. n Lonesome, Trie 9-B cl_,s is lonesome be- cause their teacher has left them to teach in New York. But don’t worry, Mr. McLain, your children will not forget you, and v.e hope you will never forget us. (Please don't forget the 9-B scribes) Fage ft THE BLUE AND WHITE Senior News The number of school days remaining for us are very few and passing very rapidly. Scnool days are the best days of everyone’s life. We may not believe it but in a few years many of us will appreciate this fact more than we do now. It’s the usual custom to appoint members of the class, as a committee to attend to class day. Fupils appointed from our class are: Butty Acker Ruth Heisey William Kough Martha Rissinger Helen Cu ;bler Herbert Enck Joan Becker Official Typist------Evelyn Shull Mimeograph------------Wayne Kline Stage Manager----------Earl . Lesh The Seniors aren’t the only ones who breathed a sigh of relief after the exams were over. They were exceedingly difficult with the result that many of us were dragged to the depths. (below passing) What Would We Do if: Jean Gelnett couldn't laugh? Bill Kough couldn’t tease the girls? Helen wouldn’t leave home late so she could bring Bob to school In her car? Martha wouldn't take a certain group home each evening after school? Lois wouldn't like Liverpool anymore? Bill and Ruth would cease arguing? Bob Kough • would memorize his class schedule? Carl Trout would forget his watch? Binder and Birdine would come to school on tine in the morning? N- nould have perfect attendance 11 GRADE N WS The Juniors received their rings in January. Have you noticed how they hold their hands? This is so everyone can see their rings. The Junior Class would like soneone to solve this problem. Why are the same four always absent at the same time? When the one is absent, you can usually be sure that the other three will be absent. (The four happen to be June Bowers, Mary R-apsome, Miriam R-rap, and Charles Deary). After the 11-A class finished their french semi-examination, Robert Clark remarked, Why did the aunt have to invite Charles end me to go for a ride? By the vay, the French examination h:d included a translation about an aunt inviting two boys. Robert thought that if she would not have invited the boys they would not have any French to translate. A bright boy. Have you heard the Junior girls talking about having an informal Junior From this year? These girls are rushing the seasons. Tue Ritter twins are going to be future poets. Did you know this? You ought to read some of their poems. There are fourteen out of the Junior Class who play in the orchestra. Six of these play violins. Wo also have a future artist in our grade. Miriam Ra , is her name. Thu Junior girls wish that the Junior boys would learn to dance. There -re no., only three boys who dance in this grade.

Say, who is that fellow escorting Betty Wright into the theatre? Why, it's none other than Bill McKensie. I just wonder what that means'5?? Three guesses! What in the world is that funny noise? Oh, it's only Jean Gelnett laughing and can she laugh! If you haven't heard that laugh you're missing something, because it's really amusing. Just get her started sometime and see for yourself. Who did you say Lester Smith was going with now? Not Jane 'right? Well, isn’t that a cute looking couple? Look at Ediie Patterson will you!

W. Kerr Don't Neglect Them Yes, there may be Operetta practice, Junior Play practice, or a basketball game, but don't forget, there are also those lessons to be done for tomorrow. At this time of the year there are so many school, activities that we have a tendency to forget about our studies. For some reason or other, pupil3 seem to have the idea that just because they attended a basketball game or some other school activity last night, they will be excused from doing their lessons for today. I hope they will soon realize that if they wish to participate in outside activities, they must also keep up their regular studies. This year the mid-year exemination grades were considerable lower than other years. The only reason I can see is lack of studying on the part of the pupil. Take part in extra curriculer activities, of course, they are your recreation, but your studies are your work--don't neglect them! Is ItThL School-Or You? Have you noticed how large the absentee lists have been lately? The worst part is that only about one-fourth of those absent can offer a legal excuse. There are far too many pupils making a habit of coming to school when they feel like it, and staying home when they feel like it. If they feel they would rather sleep some morning, they do so then come to school in the afternoon, if they get awake. Perhaps some of them think they are putting it over on the school but it is only themselves they are harming. Just think it over sometime. 14 THE BLUE AND WHITE This year Ruth is just as outstanding as she has been other years. She was elected Class Treasurer. She will have one of the main parts in the Operetta, In an Old Kentucky Garden . To one of the outstanding pupils of N. H. 5., here's luck. Mey you continue to be outstanding all through your life, Ruth. im Newport, Pa. January 12, 1938 Mr. Oooffrey Chaucer 14th Century, A. D. Dear Jeff, This is just a note from one of your readers in the twentieth century. On January 23, 1921 Mr. and Mrs. John A. Heisey announced tha birth ofa daughter, Ruth. Ruth spent the first one and one-half years of her school career in the East Newport School. In the winter of 1927, she entered the Newport Elementary School, where she became a member of the class of '38. In the second grade she took part in the school Grade Operetta. Until she entered the seventh grade, she participated in plays and poem contests. In the eighth grade Ruth played class basketball. At the end of this year she decided to take the Academic course. A brief review of Scooter's High School career shows that she was active all the time. She tried out for basketball in her Freshman year. I wouldn't exactly call myself one of your fans but I believe you've got something there, in your newspaper Canterbury Tales , if you know what I mean. That society column and especially your prologue to the trip is interesting. I believe that I would hove told the managing editor a thing or two if he would have sent me out on such an assignment. I bet that was just as tough to cover as the Sino-Japanese War would be today. But, still it might have been an interesting trip for you, but I'm sure it wouldn't appeal to me. I'll bet the Wife of Bath reminded I you of your mother-in-law. I'll have to close now, ao I can study some more about you for my English test. So-------so long, till English class. Sincerely yours In her Sophomore ye?r, Ruth was Home Room Vico Chairman. She played basketball, was a cheerleader and a member of The Thespians. In her Junior year, she was elected Class Secretary. Sho took part in the Operetta, basketball, and cheerleadinft Ruth was again a member of The Thespians and was a reporter of The Blue And White Staff. P. S.

That, my friends, is th«= neighborhood Crank shifting gears. You can always tell the personality of a man by the way he shifts gears. The man with a grouchy disposition usually keens his motor -ide oyen and doesn't push the clutch in very far when he shifts geare--thus, the noise. Then, there is the other extreme, the timid soul . This, type seems to try to reach high-bear as soon as ossible with the least oossitle noise. The t:it«rt aleck startsoff with a bang and sliding wheels. He usually goew as far and faht as ;he can ir. low gear, then he makes a quick shift to the second gear and roars away. Co-Betters start with the most ease. They change quickly to second wear, gather a greet deal of speed and change easily to high. Cear-shifts of a Co-getter are usually slow, determined, and with ease. This ty e is closely related to the more dignified nrofessional gentlemen. The main difference is the length of time taken to change gears and the soeed reached in second gear ?!y choice for a friend is the one that starts easily, changes gears deterninedly, and gains his speed in second gear.

At the age of sixteen he was captured by pirates and taken to an island, where he tended the flocks of an Ulster Chieftain for six years. While there he became a devouted Christian. After his escape from the island he founded over 300 churches and he personally baptized over 120,000 persons . A favorite legend which has grown up about this saint is one which tells of him as charming the snakes of Ireland by his music so that they followed him to the' seashores where they were driven into the water and drowned. All over the world whenever the Irish have penetrated, March 37. is celebrated as Saint Patrick's feast day. History Of February February is the second and shortest month of the modern calender year. Its meaning to the Romans was to purify ; thus in this month there were va. rious religious festivities. It was at one time the twelfth month of the year and not for centuries was it placed after January, the first month of the year. Until the time of Juluis Caesar it had thirty days, but Caesar took one day from it t6 lengthen his honor month, July. Augustus Caesar took another day from it to lengthen his honor month, August, which was named after him. There is a leap yea r every four years and this adds a day to Feburary, making it twenty nine days; in other years it has twenty eight.Clfl HOJCflNG'S SERVICE TAT) ON 41 -0 if I O Cfcu. J.F.

SECTION THE ®W THREE - BLUE AND WHITE February 9, 1938 Nevmo rt. Pp.. Basketball Makes Gains Hello everybody! Here's another basketball season. What,! you don't know very much about the N.H.S. team? Yes, they have been rather successful. But, one question at a time and maybe I can answer you. Sport Oddities What Do You Want To Know? That H. Ench, Mr. Rothenberger, H. K. Eby,M. Shull, and Steckley are the automobile drivers who generally take the 3quad to games away from home. The Newport court team has played four league games and have won three. Don't clap too loud as these are only victories in our ten skirmishes. The squad has thirteen games before them to play yet, eight of which are league games. From the Millersto'.m game the boys returned with their banner flying at its highest points, ' hen the Buffaloes wentto C.L.I. the soldiers said old N.H.S. might have stayed at home as it v ould be a sailing victory for the Court House boys but when the whistle blew they were brought down to our level although they did win. That Herb Ench is manager and Ken Crist is assistant manager of our team. That Mr. Yocum coaches our Jur ior Varsity. l hat Bill Cox was huhting-in the attic of the Carlisle shower (you would better ask him). That the girls want Becker on the floor. That Bill Kough bit his tongue thru at the Blain game. That dicker broke two auditorium seats in the T.O.H. game. That four of the varsity players did not play at Duncannon because they skipped school. Boys Standing Games vr„„„ si. r; —- Name Cls. FIs. Its. N.H.S. Opo. Team. W.

The cheer leaders request that the student body cooperate with them at the games. When a ch er is being given, cheer your team. The two new cheers are: One two three four Who are we for? Newport! Newport! Newport! Five six seven eight, Who do we appreciate? Duncannon!.Duncannonl Duncannon! N. H. S. Strawberry short cake, Huckleberry Die, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y Are we in it? Well, I guess, We belong to the N.E.3. Spokt Oddities Do you know: That Mr. Scott has taken a load of players to each out-of-town Basketball game this year. Congratulations, Mr. Scott, for taking such a keen interest in Basketball. That Jean Gelnett, manager-of the girl’s team, has the most unusual laugh. You should hear her on the way to Basketball games. Listen sometime! Betty Wright surely needs seme anchors to hold down her shirt tail , when she plays Basketball. Or maybe it doesn't bother her. That another Derson who has taken players to games quite often is Mr. Raymond Stuckey. Thank6, Mr. Stuckey, because the offer of a car is alwqys much appreciated. That we have not had one basketball pep meeting this year. Is Football so much more important than basketball? We hope someone scon wakes up to the fact that a pep met ting would give the teams courage. Standing of the forwards: Gls. FIs. Fts.

The girls game was exciting and well played from beginning to end, but the Duncannon girls were just a little too good for the Newport lassies. Our girls express the opinion that they hope to do better when they meet Duncan .on on their home floor. The final score of the girls game was 25-15. .THE -ELLTE. AND WT-rrmT Basketball LblpsSpot light Here we are with another basketball season in full sway I So far this year the girls have not shown us all they are capable of doing. They have played eight games in all of which four were league games. Of the league games the Newport lassies have wen two and lost two but still have eight league games ahead of them. In the other games played this year the Newporters have not been successful in any game. Come on girls, how about showing us that you really can play basketball. Boys Lose To Duncannon Although our boys were handicapped with the absence of four varsity members in this game, they played a good game. Tne Duncammon quintet had a very good passing attack and in some parts of the game outplayed our squad. The Newport squad, with the return of the four varsity members, will be laying for Dun-cannon at the home game on February 15. The final score was Duncannon 28—Newport-7. t JONES DRAYAGE SERVICE -Peg ?7 RIVERS ID if STOCf STATION NEWPORT - LAUNDRY CL'Y'lJL' DRY CLEANING NEWPORT GREEN HOUSE FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS ' V x-swan-K SAY IT WITH FLOWERS - _ _ - 12-OX I T?k V-—----------------j02,. | Page 24 THE BLUE AND VHITE STPHhGE — QU i Tilue - JiJLST QEGmnmG .
