THE BLUE AND 'MITE I a e .9 v 1 1? A -Oft J „r EVS — ? Senior Flashes Did you know that: Boom-Boom Jones is a modern Romeo? Jack Wagner is simply crazy about shorthand? YYhitey Shull and Hokic delighted in frightening the girls in Algebra with a poor little defenceless mouse that was almost too weak to move? Irene Donsall is back with us again after her appendicitus operation? The girls think Alvin Fossleman is awfully cute? Betty Smith is becoming very sophisticated? Hazel Peterman blushes when the name Baker is mentioned? Shorthand is a hobby Worthwhile, they say, It means increased efficiency, Therefore, better pay. The greatest pain, however, To be derivod from it Is in the mental training and Sharpening of the wit. By this it is not meant You must have a lot to say. For oft the emptiest wagon Goes most noisily on its way. Every power of mind is strengthened I By this speedy drill, Correct habits are acquired, Together with much skill. It opens up new avenues, All leading to success. Gives confidence and mastership, And thus helps lives to bless. --A, E. 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?

Page 3 THE BLUE AND WHITE Valentine Greetings I bet y u thought I'd get ever that snappy business, But I didn’t. Anether boy has found his way to Millerstown, net only his way but also a girl. That’s ail right, Steve. Mary Reapsome's friend stays at the Newporter Hotel. What’s his name Mary? Betty Heisey has recently transferred her affections from Ickesburg to Harrisburg. He has a brother in her class. Can you guess? Elwocd Remely seems to talk about nothing except the trip to Philadelphia, •f course the girls on the train didn’t have a thing to dc with it. I’ve heard that quite a few girls received housecoats, cosmetic sets, and Jewelry for Christmas gifts. Mary Bowers seems to have her eyes on a little red head, Robert Flickenger by nqme. I bet Aleta Nickle writes plenty of letters since a South Second Street visitor left town. How are you coming along v ith your guitar lessons, Ralph? Martha Hultzapple is often late for school in the mornings, I wonder if dates are not the cause.. • ' Who's that graduate of '38 that Bill Mitchell has been dating lately? Who is it Jane? ne night she is seen walking with Bossernan and the next night Bob Jones is on her porch. Erva Byers and Irene Rice have been seen with the same boy recently. you couldn't guess because he isn't from here; he is from Ickesburg, What's this I hear about Martin Kiner taking Phyllis Ench to the movies? We wonder when Dick Fatterson will have his first date. He seemed to make out all right in the play. Why wouldn't he in real life? The following is taken from The Pereseope, Carlisle High School's paper, Carlisle had considerable trouble throughout the entire game with Newport’s Bill Buffington, who broke up many of our passes. Keep up the good work, Bill I We wonder who will get the leads in the operetta? • t I'll be seeing you next month.

Page 10 THE BLUE AND ’. HITE J.F. SHUTT AUTO REPAIR SHOP FIRST j CLASS SERVICE The Eleventh Grade is Busy The eleventh grade takes this opportunity to thank Santa Claus for the wonderful treatment they received from him on Christmas They also wish to announce that for the small sum of ten cents; one dine; one-tenth of a dollar you may see tho greatest Cowboys on the fnco.of the earth. However, if they do not sell their thousand tickets, they will not display this phenomenon. (Look at C.B, and see it for nothing.) Bud Bassott - wants to know how he can get out to St. Samuels on Sunday evenings. He says he wants to go to Young People’s Meeting. ( I thin!: it is a girl.) Somebody made the remark that Chas. Bosserman is becoming very good in playing the game, which has swept the country; I mean Chinese Checkers. (ITbelieve it is the competition he is up against that makes him so good). Ask Jane VY. how she likes it. I mean getting to church lato If sho-'doesn't tell you, I think her most noble escort to the affair could. Our dashing, Lothario, Ray Gable, seems to be quite the berries with the girls in Sugar Run Valley. He was seen at HcNaughton’s Service Station on New Year's Eve; but, oh my, if he would have arrived there ten minutes later he would have been disappointed to find that she had gone with the wind.
