W I'-, tlie graduating class of 1949, hereby dedicate this hook, the sixth volume of the Rhinita, to the Lions Club of Newport. . . . The following are a few of the advances made by them in this community: the starting and continuation of the annual Hallowe'en | arade, the installation of the lights on the Fourth Street School building and the Newport River Bridge, the sponsoring of the new playground, a Christmas Program for the community children, a lianquet every year for the football players, and a car ]x ol for the football players. Some years ago, they also gave an outfit of clothes to the underprivileged children of the school. . . . In this way we wish to show our appreciation of the many things the Lions Club has done to promote better conditions here in Newport.

The 1949 filuuita 17 CLASS HISTORY Nineteen hundred thirty-seven! 1'he year tlie class of ’49 was born! That year we took our first steps into the mysterious realms of learning. Pigtails, knee-britches, and toothless smiles were the styles, and school was something exciting to look forward to each day. Time passed quickly, however, and before anyone knew it, 1943 had rolled around, and the class of '49 found itself almost grown-up. We were in the high school building now, and we loudly proclaimed that we had left all things of childhood in the elementary building. (iym class and study hall became the favorite classes, and life seemed to be one wild dash from one hall to another while we hunted the different class rooms. Next, came the eighth grade, and with it the county exams, the 1). A. R. history test, and the Good Citizenship Awards. Doris [lower and Ronnie Beasom were chosen as the good citizens, and Doris became a two-time winner by placing second in the county D. A. R. history test. In our freshman year we welcomed the “kids from the country” into our class, and then we settled down to some serious, serious studying. That spell of studiousness lasted from our sophomore year, but THEN — we became juniors. In our junior year we began “to earn our way through high school,” and earning our way meant getting MONEY—that thing that seems to be so far out of the reach of high school classes. Every now and then we'd put our worries aside, and get the gang together, and have a “heck” of a good time. ()n one such occasion WE JUNIORS toured the Gettysburg battle-held, listened to a blow by blow description of the battle, and then gave OUR opinions as to how it should have been fought. The next one of our escapades found us in Harrisburg. This time we saw the Freedom Train, the Museum, and the old Cameron home. Between jaunts we, together with the class of '48, gave the Junior-Senior play. Room Trouble, celebrated the holiday season by giving a Christmas dance, and ordered our class rings. Then, came the most important event in our Junior lives—the Junior-Senior prom. Under our president. Bill McGowan, we decorated the auditorium and prepared the refreshments the day of the prom. That night we wandered into the auditorium and gave a sigh of relief, for we were sure, as each class before us, that OURS was the best prom yet. We also felt quite imjxirtant this year, because two juniors were chosen as representatives of N. H. S. for the music conferences. Bob Khykerd went to the State and the District )rchestra Festival, and Jackie Ragan represented us in the District Orchestra Festival. Finally, came our all-important year. We were seniors—the BIG SHOTS of the high school. Bud Wertz was our president. Sam Ralston our vice-president, Barbara Bell our secretary, and Dave Kennedy our treasurer. This year, as usual, we had money problems. We wanted to go to New York for two days, and THAT took money! So we set out to work. A skating party; a minstrel show ; hake sales; a concession at football games; the Junior-Senior play. Murder With Orchids; a donkey basketball game: and a card party were on the money-earning agenda. We even discontinued class-night. We finally made it, and off to New York we went! Between all this we managed to put out the Blue niul While, the school i aper, and the Bluuila, the yearbook, to hold a mock presidential election in which Dewey won, and to sit in a session of the state legislature at I larrisburg. Again we sent representatives to music festivals. Frances Smarr went to the District Chorus Festival, and Bob Khykerd went again to the District Orchestra Festival. The last chapter of our high school careers was closed on May 27, when we received our diplomas and waved a tearful goodbye to old N. H. S. Class Flower White Carnation Class Historians Phyllis Scliill David Kennedy Class Colors Blue and Cold Class Poet Jacqueline Ragan Class Motto In Oursehes Our Future Lies 18 The 1949 Bluuila SENIOR CLASS POEM IDEALS In ourselves our future lies. How true this saying is. If only we would realize I'lie value of its meaning. We could throw away forever Our cheating and our scheming. It is not too late for us Who now go out into the world. To seek and earn, and fight and learn The wisdom of the old. But heed! Heed this wisdom of the old and you will never need To know the agony of regret. By the mistakes of another, you say, we can learn. True. But only In’ experience can you ever Hope to attain the goal you set before you. Deception is only deceiving you; so adjourn Front your mind the thought that you can sever Dejection from deception. Dreams are the children of our future. Cherish them; mold and guide them into Destiny. Ambition is the fire of youth and Regret is the soul of failure. The key to success is individuality: Don’t he one grain in an ocean of sand. Go forward now, with this last thought In mind: there is nothing you can't do. The world is yours for the taking. Don’t let this quenchless thirst for knowledge go unsought. CLASS POEM Dick Miller, our senior, lias quite a collection: Whizzer, car, radio and camera share his affection. Glenn Morrison, our cute, little class clown, Takes pleasure in showing Louise the town. Austin Neidigh, five-foot, three. He and his appendicitis didn't agree. Charlie Noll speaks quiet and low; He sits beside me but I’d never know. “Diz Irwan has one pleasant vice. Giving other people his good advice. Bill Radle, our original wit. His English IV speeches are always a hit. Bob Rhvkerd, our boy with a trumpet. If it’s music. Bob can play it. Sam Ralston and the hospital are not rare. Although he and Gloria make a better pair. “Bud” Wertz, class president with the Model A Ford, He and all the girls he can possibly afford. Tall, handsome Bill Wiley, with a real smooth line, He’ll ask for your 'phone number any old time. Ronnie Beasom's our artist fine, He'll draw your picture any time. Johnnie Aunion. athletic star. He and Blondie will go quite far. Wilbur Barrick, with the curly hair, A girl with him is a sight quite rare. Our tall blond boy with a smile to sell— Jerry Freeland's his name—you know him well. A genius in class with protractor and compass, Maynard Fritz is the senior who shows great promise. Pete” Gutshall, our study hall fiend. Chesterfields and he are buddies it seems. Carl Haines, our tall F. F. A., Never seems to have much to say. Frank Horting’s the boy who has stolen a heart; I hope he and Ardella will never have to part. “Guinea” Hower and his father's car Take off school to travel far. Robert Jones, another athlete, His equal will be hard to meet. David Kennedy, our practical farmer. Quiet and thoughtful, lie’s quite a charmer. “Bub Kinzer, with the twinkling blue eyes; Hey, Goof is his familiar cry. Tom Meloy and Martha Lea Oh! What a happy ] air are we. Barbara Bell, who’s forever chattering. So many new boy friends are very flattering. Louise Clouser with the big, blue eyes; My how she rolls them at the handsome guys. The girl in our class with a sweet disposition; Jean Cree will help out in any position. Jean Freeland, our champion gum-chewer. She also is a good crocheter. Doris Hower, another hospital patron, She’ll make Brookie a fine matron. Gale Leonard, with a voice like a bird, 1 ler infectious giggle will go far in this world.

JUNIOR AND SENIOR PLAY Two murders were committed nightly on November IS and 19, as the mystery comedy, Murder With Orchids, was presented by the junior and senior classes of Newport Union High School. As usual two separate casts presented the play each night. No, the butler didn’t do the killing; it was that fiend of a secretary, Marvin Kemp, whose role was played by Donald Lightner and Donald March. Poor Addison Kincaid was the first victim. This ( art was played by Robert Rhykerd and Marlin Gutshall. The second victim. that blackmailer. Clara Holloway, was played by Doris Hower and Peggy Sharar. That man-hunting woman, Valentine, was portrayed by Minnie Haines and Jackie Ragan. The two sheriffs, who thought they were hot but who were as cold as the trail they were following, were played by Wallace Wertz and Ronnie Beasom. The other characters and the students who played their | arts are Felice, the wife of Addison Kincaid — Phyllis Schill and Frances Smarr; Clarice, Felice's daughter — Louise Clouser and Martha Lea Longsdorff; Clarice’s boy friend, Clark—Homer Smith and Charles Kipp: Merry, the maid—Ann Doughten and Dorothy Clouser: Dora Jepson—Barbara Bell and Alma Home. The juniors and seniors credit the success of this year's play to all who cooperated: to the two directors, Mrs. Amanda Soule and Mrs. Parthenia Wolpert; to the two class advisers, Mr. Earl Kipp and Mrs. Walter Cress-ler; to the stage adviser, Mr. Luke Buffen-tnyer; to the stage hands, Gerald Freeland, Henry Newlin, Donald Trout. Ralph Kinzer, Clarence Orwan, and Richard Clouser; and to the prompters, ushers, and ticket sellers. The 1949 Blunita 39 SENIOR MAJORETTES Kneeling—Rhonnie Huss.
