Paue 15 THE BLUE AND ’ -'HITE The Bitter End (Or A 1 Tube Radio) The night was dark and dreary. The monotonous droning of locusts in the distance was broken only iby a faint ound coming from the greasy earphones tangled in black greasy harr. Tense the sweefting body leaned forward try ng to pinch more volume from the groping little one-tube set . Long dangling logs were now stiffened in every muscle. Beads of persoir-ation ran in tiny rivulets down the voin-od forehead. The unshaded singlo bulb boat down on the tightened face like the sun a noon. Hopefully yot foarfully ho waited. Thon through the grimy oarohones •amc tho joyous message,faintly yet distinctly, The winner of this week's wheaties contest is Robert Rough, of Newport, Pennsylvania.

A Boa Constrictor I was on a lion hunt ith Frank Buck in Northern African Jungles.Because of the thickness of the forest, it was so dark that we had to have our electric torches lit all the time. I had wandered away from the rest of the company, and stood against a tree smoking my pipe,when suddenly,zip a boa had encirelid my body. So I decided not to lot him get the best ofne and I started to draw harder on myope and blew smoke in :his face until I had him knocked cold. Eut still he would -n't give up, so I stertod to eat my way out. I kept chewing until I had s o muoh chewod, thft 1 got loose. I went back tfco the rest of the company told them my story, but it v ac hard to believe, because when we went back to to tree where I had left the remains of the snake it wrs gone.But I still like to tell my adventures with the Hoc Constrictor.

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. I know just how you felt when you wrote your Complaint to an Empty Purse .
