The ring is very pretty and it comes in ai,one, or solid gold. The first shipment came through right before Christmas and they made very nice Christmas , presents for those who got them. o Pennsylvania Forensic and Music League For the past twelve years in Pennsylvania there have been held state-wide speech and music contests.

Junior. Red Cross Items The recent Activity Night sponsored by the Junior Red Cross Council was a complete success; The gate receipts totaled $72,06, Forty-three dollars ($43) of this was clear «oney. The students couldn't kick about old Santa Clau3 not bringing them presents this year. Even the teachers faired well. Di ] you notice the now knit beauties on the girls' heads? I'm referring to the Parka Hoods. It looked like Santa was veil supplied with them this year because almost all the girls received one. Have you been out at the dam since Christmas? It also looked like Santa brought a lot of ice skates to the boys and girls. Helen Rush got a pair of ice skates and she fell so many lle� cs that she needs new snow pants now. Santa brought a lot of proiiy dresses to the girls also. They showed them off at the Christmas Senior dance and the Alumni dance. Since then the Red Cross has been busy. They furnished the ice-cream for the Baby Clinic Christmas Party held in the American Legion Home. Jranges were sent to the County Home at Christmas. No definite date has been made for the next county meeting. WOOPS! Oh! You heard many expressions like these one week because the pupils were slipping and sliding over the floors. This was because Mr. Newlin, the janitor, oiled the floors over the weekend. The floors looked very nice and the oil keeps the dust down. The pupils won't kick about the oiled floors because it makes the school building inside look more attractive and some of them have fun slipping and watching some one let his books drop a� a re- suit of slipping. Ask Mrs. Myers, the Red Cross Nurse, if she likes the oiled floors. Bill Numer received a watch from Santa. Ralph Kline got a jacket. (To prepare him for cold weather). Zoe '.Vagner -received a log chain braoelet. Santa.:brought many m� � e things but they cannot all be listed here. What They Think About ' 3ym' Theresa Nickel thinks the exercises are hard. Dot Miller likes it. Betty Rudy likes it but sometimes the teacher makes them dw things that they don't like. Penee Lrngsdorff likes it. Ruth Jones says she has lots of fun in gym class. Joan Smith and Reba sheibley think its all right, if they are allowed to do what they want. Brooks Reisinger says that he likes it. Doris Miller thinks it's all right. Carol Jane Flurie doesn't like.the essays that they have to write, ..uggie Gardner likes it but he doesn't play. i Page 3 THE BLUE AND WHITE Valentine Greetings I bet y u thought I'd get ever that snappy business, But I didn’t.

Balkwell In the lrst several class mootings the Seniors have been cussing their Commencement Exercises . This proves to be a problem class with fifty-nine members. Mr. Dean thinks that we might have to hold our Commencement and Class Day Programs on Niger Hill. It seems as if the Seniors financially cannot prosper very well. We’ve given our play and held two dances. The first dance wont over all right but the second dance was not very successful. We hope the next thing wo undertake will bo more of a success. Do you know that the Ritter twins, Lenoro and Larue, will be tho first twins to graduate from Newport High School? Y hy do Betty Hciscy and Betty Dunn never get any lessons done over tho week-end? Speech To Seniors On Tuesday, December 13, the Soniors were very pleased to have with them Mr. Kingsley. Mr. Kingsley, from New Bloomfield, talkod to the Seniors on the subject Financial difficulties of the World, which was very interesting. The Problems ‘of Democracy Class 'of the ' Seniors had been talking abort the banks, therefore, this talk was very beneficial to then. Tho Seniors hope that their adviser, Mr. Dean, will have more speakers for their classes in the- future. Page 10 THE BLUE AND ’. HITE J.F.

However, if they do not sell their thousand tickets, they will not display this phenomenon. (Look at C.B, and see it for nothing.)

Who knows what the new year holds for us? We can't profess to be prophets, but we can take advantage of all the opportunities that may come to us in the new year and perhaps that way we can really make something of ourselves. Have you ever stopped to think of what yru might have done last year, but didn’t do? Or what you did do that you shouldn't have done? Did you let any golden opportunities slip by without taking advantage of them? I wonder if there aren't seme cf us who could have done better last year. There areelways some who shun work that they should have done, just for the sake of doing something they thought they would onjcy better. Are you one of them? I hope not, but just to play safe lets check on ourselves. Have you decided to help others too, instead of just thinking of yourself all the time? Are you going to do your lessons or are you going to forget about them by doing something less profitable? After all, you are the only one who profits by your efforts at your studies, and if you forget them you are also the only one who loses anything. Have you made up your mind to do better than you did last year in everything you try? If you haven't, you'd better start now before its too late and another year rolls around. eld Father Time his clock has wound, And soon this year will roll around; Lets not forget, like all the rest, Throughout the year, to do our best. -—Editor Fage 14 THE BLUE AND ' HITE Night 6----: Full of Dreams NEWPORT PA I N.E.

BOB BREDBENNER DIST HI B UT O K Sinclair gasoline 'E z—- y- SINCLAIR ' - OIL THE BLUE AND ' HITE Page 15 FEBRUARY F .bruary, in the modern calendar, is the second and shortest month. It s name used to mean a groat deal to the ancient Romans, for it came from februare, meaning to purify, thi3 v;as the month in which the people were purified for the religious festivals of the following months. The primrose is the special flower for Febriiary, and the amethyst, its special gem. February was not in the earliest calendar year which Romulus drew up. Numa,, however, added Februaris, but made it the tv olfth month and not for centuries was it placed after January. February has not always had only twenty-eight days. Until the time of Julius Caoscr it had thirty days, but ho took one from it to lengthen his honor month, July; and when Augustus named August after himself, he, too took from February a day to make ’his month equal in distinction to Julius's, Every four years comes leap year and gives to the month another day. There is an old belief connected with February weather. In the second day of tho month, groundhog day, it is 3aid the ground-hog pushes his way out of hio winter burrow and looks about him. If he can see his shadow, he creeps back for another sleep of six weeks, but if tho day is cloudy, ho 'mows that spring has almost come and there is no! more time for dozing. February has an uni;sual number of days of particular Interest, most of them birthdays, Linccln, Washington, Dickens, Lowell, and wongfellcw-thcse are but a few of '■ ic great men whose birthdays fall within this month; and every ono of these had the characters and tho determination to achieve high ambition. Famous Birthdays George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 in ' Voctmo relx c County, Virginia. He was one cl the world's great men and was first President of the United States. He was called The Father of His Country. Washington became Commander-in-chief of the American army during the Revolutionary War. He served eight years as President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. On December 12, 1799 he was attacked with acute larngitis and two days later died at his home, Fount Vernon. Abrahan Lincoln was born on February 12, 1309 in Harden County, Kdntucky. He was an American statesman and sixteenth President of the United States. In the Republican Rational Convention at Chicago in Kay 1850 he was nomin-at d as a candidate for the presidency and was elected tho following November. In 1861 the Civil Vvar started and because the Northern states wanted to pursue tho war to its conclusion Lincoln wa3 roolocted as President in 1861. Tho Emancipation . Proclamation v hich freed the Southern slaves was one of Lincoln's policies. On April 14, 1855 Lincoln was shot In Ford's Theater, Washington, by John Wilkes Booth. He died the following day and was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery • no r Springfield, Illinois. Lincoln was called' The Savior of Hi3 Country.

And you'd better believe all the little boys and girls did just exactly what the teacher told then to do, too-— that is, all except Little Snowball, VVhy, ho didn't oven hoar what the teaoher said because ho was so busy thinking about something else. The poor little follow was most powerful miserable. You sco, he had an awful pain right down in his little round tummy. At least that's where Little Snowball thought the pain was. Little Snowball’s poor little heart was broken all to pieces. That's just exactly what as wrong with him. And I guess your heart would bo broken, too, if it happoned to be Valontino's Day and tho little girl you likod bettor than anybody else in tho 'wholo school would not even look at you. Little Snowball rolled his big round eyes over toward the cross eld teacher to make sure she wasn't vatching him, then ho rolled his big round eyes over toward Snookoy and grinnod a great big ole grin right at her. But Snorfccy didn’t grin back at him. She just kinda turned up her little flat nose and lookod the other ay. Poor Little Snowball's heart just dropped the rest of the way down to his heels, end he had an awful time trying to sallow a big ole lump in his throat. Just then the cross old toachcr yollcd out, I ciid far fll, jr:u-bhll:'ron to put your books away I1 Just then the tcachor pecked real loud on her desk with a ponoil and said it was timo to open tho big rod v,a lon-tino box and give out tho valcntinos. Then Little Snowball pricked up hio little fat ears and listenod with all his might, so if his name was called he’d bo suro to hear it. But it didn't do the poor little follow a bit of good to listen, for it just secnod as if everybody in the whole school was getting valentines—-oxcopt him. And Sncokey was getting more than anybody else. But, then, Snookey was lots prottier than 'any of tha other girls. Little Snowball looked over at Snookey's dosk piled full of valcntinos. She just had all kinds of valentines. And there sat Snookey grinning away for dear lifo and showing all her pretty white teeth whilo all the little corkscrews stuck out all over hor head. Beliovo me. Little Snowball thought Snookoy had the most beautiful corkscrews in the wholo wide world. And he thought Snookey was real smart, .too. Why, she cul’ -rcad out cf her book just 1iko everything. Little Snowball stuck one little fat hand into tho pocket of his little blue ronpors and pulled out a big candy chcoolato heart. He had bought it just for Snookey and he had paid a whole nickel for it, too. And outside of one little ole place whero Little Snowball had trfc cn one tiny nibble it vrac 'just as good a® new. But Snookey wouldn't even look at him, so Little Snowball mado up his mind to oat the big chocolato heart himself. He put it up to his little flat as so and took two big sniffs, and then ho oponod up his little red mouth to take a big. bite of it, when ho lookod up and saw Snookey grinning at him. Little Snov bc.ll was so surprised and so tickled that ho dropped the big candy heart on the floor. Then, he just picked it up, brushed the dirt off on his little blue rompers, took one tiny little lick and then handod it to Snocky Snookey just grinned from car to ear and put the big chocolato heart into hor white apron pocket. Then sho roachod in her dosk and pulled out tho prettiest big rod valentine you ever saw -—with white lacy stuff all around the edge of it. Then she handed it to Snowball. Page 18 THE BLUE AND ‘.

Little Snowball looked at that big old valentine, and guess what it said right on the front of it, in great fcig gold letters. It said, I Love You i That’s what it said. When Little Snowball saw that, his poor little broken heart jumped right back together again. Ch, my, but he was happy I Then Little Snowball leaned over and whispered, Snookey, does li’l gals allers mean jus’ ’zakly what they say on a valentine? And Snookey kept on grinning while she nodded her little head up and down. Veil, then, why wouldn’t you look at me this mornin’? Then Snookey put her little pink lips right up close to Little Snowball’s ear and whispered, Jus 'cause, li'l’ gals acts that way when they thinks an awful heap of somebody. Little Snowball then forgot that he was in school and said right loud, Snookey, you shore are boot-i-ful, but I thinks li’l' gals is l nwful funny, don’t you?

They strolled the lane together, The sky was studded with stars, They Teached the gate in silence And for her he lifted the bars.
