1 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWTON, IOWA THE NEWTONIA SENIOR ANNUAL VOLUME SEVEN, 1917 Dedication To Miss L. Vesta Beard, whose work in Newton Hi K School has been so untiring, and whose inspira- tion and help has been so freely iven in our behalf, this volume of the Newtonia Annual is affectionately dedicated. Not often is it given to any individual to serve in one place and capacity for twenty- five years. Still less often do we find those, who, during such a period of time have con- stantly increased in ability and worth to the community and to the individuals among whom they work. Miss Beard is one of these few. Coming here as a young woman and beginning her work as teacher in our High School, she made good from the very first. Hundreds of young people have come under her influence. They have left her classroom respecting her for her optimism and cheerful outlook on life and appreciating that fineness of feeling which made her always tactful and courteous. She has constantly emphasized the highest ideals of service and usefulness, and her own splendid Christian womanhood has been a source of inspiration to many a young man and woman. Her students have gone into every walk of life and into nearly every country on the globe, yet none forget their days in High School and all love and honor Miss Beard for the part she had in the development of their lives and character. HOME OF NEWTONIA. r r o o Z o o  o o o SUPT. H. P. SMITH. B. A., M. A., State University of Iowa. Post Graduate work, Chicago University. Iowa State University, Columbia. Mr. Smitii is completing his fifth year as Superintendent of the Newton schools, and by his untiring efforts he has greatly enlarged the curriculum and extended the scope of the work. During the past year arrangements have been perfected for enlarging and improv- ing the West school, by the construction of four additional rooms, and by thorough mod- ernizing of the entire building. A community room will be added for the purpose of holding programs, parent-teachers meetings, etc. A new Junior High School building is to be built on the present site of the Central Building. This will accommodate all the seventh, eighth and ninth grades of the city, and will be furnished with complete equip- ment for Domestic Science and Art, and for Manual Training. A large and up-to-date gymnasium will be provided which will permit systematic work being done in physical training. With the erection of this new building and the consequent relieving of the crowded condition of the present High School, Newton schools will compare favorably with any in the state. I As the school year closes, it leaves with us various memories, some pleasant, some regretful. The parting of teachers and students always leaves a sting of sadness. This year it is exceptionally so as our Principal. Miss Lucy B. Hall, is leaving us. Miss Hall graduated from the Newton High School in 1897. After graduating from Drake University, she returned to Newton, accepting a position as teacher in our High School. She has been with us for seventeen years, having been Principal during the past six years. Miss Hall is a woman of the highest ideals, and her influence has always been for the very best. She has shown herself to be a true teacher in every sense of the word. Possessed of keen discernment, strong executive ability, and a vision of the true great- ness of her profession, no sacrifice has ever been too great for her to make in order that her school work might be first. She has had a sympathetic personal interest in the well- fare of each individual student, an interest which has made each one recognize in her a friend and adviser as well as a teacher, and in this respect she will be keenly missed. Miss Hall has freely given of her services, not only in the regular routine, but in ways that can never be paid for in dollars and cents. While the teachers and students keenly feel the loss of Miss Hall from our High School, they also feel that in whatever work she may be engaged, her interest in us will still live. L. VESTA BEARD.

TKe Faculty Menu Card (Recipes given for each delicacy.) ]VOOI)LE SOUP. (Miss Killduff.) Cut in very long, slender strips. Add plenty of seasoning with an occasional sprinkle of pepper. Serve indirectly to innocent children. STUFFED CELERY. (Miss Western.) Take the small, unassuming celery hearts, making sure that they are always fresh and crisp. Make a stuffing of 2 grams of ether, a pint of mercury, an ounce of sulphuric acid. Add enough sawdust to make a thick paste. Serve on concave mirrors. KEI) SNAPPER. (Miss Frazier.) Select a live fish and brush well. Gloves should be worn to avoid being scratched. Pound until the head becomes a healthy red, add plenty of water, roast over a fire of bril- liant sallies. Perfectly digestible. SHARK. (Miss Beard.) A rare luxury. Capture while young. Cook over a slow flame of midnight oil. Although it is hard to digest and causes many sleepless nights, this dish is an excellent brain feed, not- withstanding the fact that it works great havoc at examination time. VEGETABLE HASH. (Miss Hall.) First mix together a few green Freshmen, some Sophomores with big tops, some Juniors that have begun to work a little bit, and a few well-done Seniors. Chop them together until tired, then throw in a few farces, debates and programs. Cook the mess well and serve in an orderly manner. SPARE RIBS. (Miss Needles.) Obtain these toothsome morsels from a long, lean animal. Place in a crowded corner to flatten them out. Sprinkle with ginger and apply the customary roasting until they assume a crisp tone. Serve with catsup. MUTTON. (Mr. Browning.) A staple article, often thrust upon unsus- pecting house-wives. Mix with persistence and a generous dose of severity. Garnish with a crisply browned mustach. TONGUE. (Miss Campbell.) Procure a nice large tongue. Add a few spicy sayings and a large quantity of threats. Com- bine with delightful giggles and cute ways. Conceded by all to be very popular. CHICKEN WIGGLE. (Miss Rinehart.) Take the usual quantity of gelatine; stir in a large amount of violent gesticulations, vivid facial expressions and emphatic statements. Combine with SOME CHICKEN, color with a little Browning (not O. J.) Guaranteed to be the genuine wiggle. HEAD CHEESE. (Mr. Miller.) Take a good sized head containing a stand- ard amount of brains. Cook until tender, add a fe v sheeps-eyes and a quantity of spices. Garnish with a generous amount of wavy black hair. Considered very excellent. MUSTARD PICKLE. (Miss Portner.) Take a crisp cucumber, remove the seeds, stuff with two cups of pepper, one of mustard, one of ginger. An excellent stimulant. Good anywhere, but especially when served to ath- letic teams. STUFFED PEARS. (Mr. Newcomer.) Stuff one of the pears until well filled with a mixture of grit, persistency and prudence. Serve with another smaller, sweet pear. Gar- nish with a little peach between. SHAMROCK SALAD. (Miss Broderick.) To prepare this delicacy, mix together some Irish Avit, two blue eyes, and a huge amount of smiles. Combine these in the right proportion, add plenty of sweetness and common sense. Sprinkle with a generous quantity of tee-hees and an occasional haw-haw. COTTAGE PUDDING. (Mr. Smith.) Plays an important part in all High School affairs. Stir equal parts of love-in-a-cottage and executive ability. Add a generous amount of enthusiasm. Smooth out all humps. Steam over the fire of responsibility, and serve with well-beaten students. LADY FINGERS. (Miss McKee.) A delicious edible, formal enough for any occasion. Blend 3 cups of dignity with two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Add one part of humor to one of severity. Mix well. Roll into long, slender shapes. The better known, the more popular this delicacy becomes. APPLE DUMPLING. (Mr. Baird.) For a nice dumpling, prepare a flaky crust, using plenty of shortening so that the dump- ling will puff into a nice, round shape. Enfold in this two red cheeks and a couple of tiger- eyes. Sweeten well with good nature. Spice with a well modulated guffaw. CREAM PUFFS. (Miss Johnson.) Make a rich filling of raw eggs, milk and plenty of corn-starch. Add sweetening to taste, cook gently until it bubbles over. Flavor with gooseberry, and tint the upper portion a deli- cate green. MASHED PEACHES WITH CRACKED ICE. (Miss Watson.) Be sure to select a nice juicy peach of the cling variety. See that it is thoroughly mashed. Cover with sugar of the Jones brand. Serve with bits of cracked ice set in gold bands. DEVIL ' S FOOD. (Miss Mather.) A desperate mixture. Take equal parts of her own concoctions with bran and bone-meal. Add grape juice and a large proportion of deli- cate sweetening. A standard dessert, and one that will never disappoint you. DIVINITY FUDGE. (Mr. Speer.) Ten parts of profundity, 5 of sobriety, one- fourth of hilarity, 3 of temerit. Mix well with equal parts of natural inclination of youth and the discretion of age. Cut in exact pieces. Ap- propriate to serve at Y. M. C. A. functions. OPERA STICKS. (Miss Miles.) Mix a little Gounod and Wagner with Irving Berlin and Boola. Whirl rapidly together. To this v itching medley, add a few liquid do-re ' s, and a number of trills. Good for most anything. ASSORTED NUTS. (Mr. Cramer.) Crack a few chestnuts, mix with niggertoes, walnuts and hickories. Blend together with chewing gum. Use plenty of salt to counteract freshness and serve in tin cups. A splendid dessert for farmers. Class of 1917 OFFICERS WM.

Ladiees an ' Gen ' leemun: You ah about to witness the most stupendus production o ' the ages. This gorghus, superb, thrilling an ' costly production is about to be shown in yo ' city for the first, last an ' only time. This spectaculah collection of the world ' s talented an ' extr ' dnary production is Owned by— McALLISTER ; Managed by— CHASE; Billed by— KENNEDY; Financed by — Brown. Come one, come all, both great and small, For these here stunts shall surely fall. RING I. Ladiees and Gentlemun, we have with us today the old, old favorites. Amber and Edwin in their never-failing bare-back riding act. Enough said. Gaze with rapture on their dar- ing feats. We now have this graceful, sylph-like team of tight wire walkers for you to feast your eyes upon. Look before you amid the parasols and see your old friends, Elvin and Winnie. And now — everybody gaze this way at the daredevil performer, Margaret Scofleld, who will do such feats as you have never heard. Note her white hair, caused by her perilous positions and hair-breadth escapes. Gaze — Gaze — Gaze! ! ! Ladiees an Gentimun, let me once more call your special attention to this prodigy of memory. She, I will have you know, is tlie only person who can quote any verse in the entire bible, anywhere, any time, at the request of anybody. Never again will you see such a ninth wonder. Now, ladies, just mention any verse and Ona Kating will give it. And here we have that famous and fearless lion tamer, Clarence Baldwin. Why, ladies and gentlemen, he actually sleeps with this fero- cious animal. Watch closely and you will see him put her through her great tricks. RING II. Ladies and Gentilmun, males and females, I want to call your attenshun to a sequence of gorghus acts about to be portrayed in ring two, of the greatest show on earth. We have first, a daring feat pahfawmed by Mme. Mary Brown. It is well to mention heah that Mme. Brown is the first person to do this wondahful feat. She will do the sehpantine on horse-back. Gaze on this, ladiees and gentulmen, as you may nevah see the like again. We saw Mary do the great act, and such a picture of grace and. beauty I have yet to see again. The ring master then proceeded: Heah! Heah! The roughest riders, most daring display of the cow boys ' art. These cour- ageous feats youh ah fortunate to witness. And here entered three cowboys, men at home in the saddle, who did such riding and such lariet throwing as I had never hoped to see. These three were none other than Donald Hammerly, Jack Harvey and William Morris. And now, ladiees and gentelmun. we have the man with the strongest teeth in the world with us. You know that since the world has been converted to vegetarianism the quality of teeth has decreased, but we have a living specimen of great canine strength in Glen DeBolt. And now we have, men and women, the pic- ture of grace as represented by Elnora Wher- man and Esther Deutsch in their great acro- batic trapeze pahfawmance. Their aerial stunts are beyond compah. Look long and lingeringly. PLATFORM. Ladiees an ' Gentulumun, what paid youh way in, we have with us today the greatest ex- ponent of the tereschopean art known, in the person of Mile. Mozelle Forman, who has i danced for all the uncrowned heads of Europe. At great cost we are able to present this per- sonification of grace to you today. We have also in our midst the great grand- uncles, thirty-second cousins, nieces, nephews and son of Sir Francis Drake, who bears the name of his illustrious relative. Along with the name he also has the courage of his ances- tor for he is about to do the famous loop-the- loop. Look before he leaps! Look! Look! As a special treat for you, we have pro- cured the Hula Hawaiian Happy Hummers, who will appear in true costume presenting song and dance with native instruments. Al- low me to introduce Misses Rena Cox, Helen Orwick and Ruth Bergman. While we watched these feats and acts, who should appear, selling the ever welcome pop- corn and peanuts but Royce Harp. Now, Ladiees and the rest, let me have your attenshun for one moment. As is the custom, with all great enterprises, we give one grand concert after the main perfawmance. Mr. John Frasier will now pass among you selling tick- ets to the grand concert for only ten cents. I might mention that this concert will be in the form of a minstrel show and that the principal nahfawmaws are Ben Jones, Robert Harvey, Reuel Jackson, Fred Hart, William Kelly and young Alec Brown. Don ' t miss this. Only ten cents. See Mr. Frasier. And to continue — we have those daring cowgirls, Mable Myer and Celeste Merrit, who will now demonstrate what real riding is. And last, but not least, we wish to call your attenshun to our charioteers. These men will engage in a race for life. See— they are off— which will win? Will it be Ryan or Rayburn? SIDE SHOW.

By War Correspondent. Special to the Quack: Two events of note broke the regular routine of death and destruction along the northeast- ern front today. The first was the conferring of the Order of the Sacred Safety-pin upon Maj. Gen. Thomas Dalzell for conspicuous bravery in charging a commissary wagon of the enemy. At the time of his daring feat, Maj. Gen. Dalzell was unaccompanied except by 100 soldiers, and faint with hunger, having had but 14 waffles, 2 loaves of bread and 4 pounds of bacon for breakfast. Seventeen men, the en- tire number of the defenders of the wagon, were taken prisoners, and 150 pounds of wein- ers confiscated. The second event was the pre- sentation to Private Vern Snook of a corsage bouquet of violets and sweet peas, in honor of his entertaining his fellow soldiers with female impersonations to take their minds off the whizzing bullets. Senator Visits This City. Our city has been very much honored during the past week by a visit from Sen. Jetson A. Adams, of Washington, D. C. Senator Adams was formerly of Newton.

We hope she is more suc- cessful than with the former one. She ' s Flying Higher! Laurine Altemeier expects to leave for San Diego soon, where she has accepted a position as instructor in the Aviation School located there. Hazel Stewart is somewhat interested along this line, also, and expects to become a pupil of Miss Altemeier in the near future. Owner of a New Car. Merritt Atwood has a new car. If you don ' t believe it ' s a fine one, just ask — well, any of the girls, for instance! CHURCH NOTES. Morning and Evening Services. Rev. Glenn Enfield will preach at both ser- vices. Special music will be furnished in the morning by the Hoodooed Hoodlums, consist- ing of Myra Thomas, Kac Joy, Ruth Brown and Mrs. Carroll Widell, nee Miss Janice Meredith. In the evening a mixed sextette, consisting of Leland Anderson, Chuck Morrison, Vern Jones, Wilma Van Dusseldorp, Sarah Spearing and Mina Melvin will render harmony. Every- one welcome! SOCIETY AND CLUB NOTES. Prominent Nnptial Ceremony Performed. A wedding of unusual interest to Juniors was that of Miss Janice Meredith to Mr. Carroll Widell, which occurred last evening. The wed- ding ceremony was performed at the African M. E. church at 11:53 p. m., by the Rev. Bud Pickens. The church was very tastefully decorated with sunflowers and dandelions. The bride wore a gown of yellow cheese cloth draped over green cambric. She carried a beautiful bouquet of clover blossoms and Duchmanee Pantibus. The bridesmaids were the bride ' s most intimate friends, Helen Foster, Wilma Fleck, Irene Fleming and Ruth Brown. Their dresses were of sky-blue pink, cotton crepe machine. At the close of the ceremony the wedding party wafted its way to the Greasy Spoon, where a sumptuous fourteen course dinner was served. The bride is the daughter of F. E. Meredith and the groom is the son of W. W. Widell. Both are well liked by the peo- ple of the community, and it is with great sor- row that we wish them joy in their new enter- prise. The Bachelor ' s Club met with Mr. Frank Phillips, Friday night, when the following of- ficers were elected: Pres. — Harold Atwood. Vice-Pres. — Chas. Paul. Sec. — Clifford Lavender. Fine Collector — Verne Talbot. N. H. S. certainly has cause to be proud of this club as they are all loyal members. Mr. Talbot does not seem terribly burdened with duties at present. Miss Florence McGriff Entertains. Miss Florence McGriff entertained last even- ing at a farewell party in honor of Mr. Arlando Baldwin, who expects to discontinue his school work at present and go to New York, where he will attend a school of etiquette for a course of time. Games and music furnished diversion for the evening, at the close of which the com- pany were taken to Newton Cafe, where they enjoyed a midnight lunch. Mr. Baldwin will return to High School when he is convinced of his knowledge of eti- quette. The Married Life of Margaret and Andy. (Extract from Margaret ' s Diary.) Dear little Diary, to whom I have confided my utmost heart throbs: I am crushed — in despair. Disillusionment has come — my idol is broken, my dreams are shattered. As my tear drops fall, blurring these lines, I realize what a price my folly has cost me — what years of hopeless misery lie ahead. Oh! Leland! Le- land! My husband, how could you be so cruel after I had cooked the very nicest dinner a wife ever prepared, and had put on our best table cloth, and the cut glass that was our wed- ding gift — after I had lit the pink candles and drawn the shades, then you came stalking in — scarcely returned my loving kiss, threw your- self down without a word, yanked a newspaper from your pocket and began to read. Oh! the bitter tragedy of it! When Pifl, my darling dog, came to you, you made a remark about blank- ety blank dogs and rudely thrust him across the room. Dinner passed in silence. I was too miserable to eat and you were too grouchy. After dinner you flung yourself down on the davenport and went to sleep and snored. And this is Wedded Bliss. P. S. One half hour later. Leland is a blessed Dear. I take all my angry sayings back. He just brought me a big box of candy, and said he was sorry he had such a mean disposition, but he couldn ' t help it, not having been consulted by those who gave it to him. He ' s a dear. (To be continued indefi- nitely.) Synopsis of preceding chapters: Margaret, a society woman, has divorced Almon Pickens and has married Leland Anderson. They have many ups and downs because of Leland ' s grouchiness and Margaret ' s tears. NEW SERIAL STORY SOON. The Ghost of Bloody Gulch.

By Madam X. Bazin. Dear Madam X.: I am sixteen years old and five feet tall. How long should I wear my dresses? Am I old enough to have dates once a month? Irene Fleming. Wear your dresses till they wear out. The dates may be perfectly proper, if not with stewed prunes. Dear Madam X.: How can I keep from blushing? Mabel Lawson. Give some of your rouge to Florence Mc- Griff. She needs it worse than you. Dear Madam X.: Is it proper to smile at N. H. S. boys? My smiles seem to have no effect. Matilda Koppin. Have you ever thought — it might be tire- some. Wait a week! Dear Madam X.: How can I get a date? Bernice Holmes. Go to your grocer and ask for one. He will, no doubt, know from your appearance what you want, and will gladly give you one. Dear Madame X.: I am eighteen years old, and am very popular. Do you think I am old enough to go to the movies with a gentleman and without a chaperon, if we don ' t get home till after ten? Ceclle Awtry. I should say not! Your own judgment should answer this for you. Don ' t let your popularity turn your head. NEWS OF THE WORLD OF SPORT. Female Barney Oldfield Breaks World ' s Record and a Leg in Race. Special from Cemetery Hill News: Miss Mina Melvin, who by her daring and desperate deeds at the steering wheel has won for her- self the justly honored name of the Female Barney Oldfleld, exceeded all her previous daring feats by a hair-raising feat of cour- ageous valor last evening when she raced down the famous speedway at the Cemetery Hill grounds, driving a fire-eating Ford. She made a wondrous toboggan-like jump at the bottom of the hill, and landed in fine form up- side down in the excellent mud landing grounds at the side of the race track. Miss Melvin is certainly to be congratulated on her accomplishment, and altho she smashed the world ' s record, it is regrettable that she broke a leg. She has everyone ' s sympathy. P. S. It was not her own leg — er-limb — it was a calf ' s. Dog Racing Team Started. A great deal of enthusiasm was aroused at High School grounds, Friday, when the mem- bers of the Hawkeye Hoodoo club, consisting of Misses Ruth Meyers, June Robinson, Doris Buchanan, Nora Rader, and Bertha Van Drim- melen started their all-Alaska sweep-stakes Malamites for their first try-out. They will race to Mexico, where they will be met by Mabel Barnes, who is attending the school for dogs there. We sincerely hope they will be back soon, as the members of the club are quite insistent that they shall not go to war while there. Wrestling Season Opens Soon. Edward McMurray. local wrestling promoter and manager for Harold Mateer, Newton ' s White Hope, is pretty much worried over his club, which he recently organized. He says they are doing fine but the dubs from Metz are looking to us to put up a good show next Saturday and with the odds and ends he has gathered up it is doubtful if we will get far in such class as Chas. Paul, Vern Sno«ks and Murray Russell are going to show this season. Mac Edge and Vern Failor have decided to join the club of enthusiastic rooters. We have a good bunch, and they are all in training every day except Merritt Atwood, who is now on his way from Colfax. It is hoped that he will arrive in time to accompany the crowd to Metz Saturday. Cohan ' s 1917 Revne. Cohan ' s Revue, which is showing at Lister ' s Opera House this week, is certainly worth see- ing, owing to the splendid costuming and set- tings, and the brilliance of the stars, who scin- tillate through the production. The Beauty Chorus is the choicest collection of loveliness seen in Newton. Some notables on the front row are Catharine Clymer, the clever and un- usual comedienne, who also gives some clever impressionistic dances; Lorna Snyder, the girl with the gowns, who is noted for her unique and daring costumes, designed espe- cially for her by Madame Snuff-Borden; and Laura Stanton, better known as Broadway Belle. Another feature of the revue is the artistic imitations of Ballet Russe, given by Irene Woodro ' w, Florence McGriff and Robert Sellman. Miss Woodrow is probably the most versatile and accomplished dancer on the stage of today, although Miss McGriff, of the auburn curls, is a formidable rival for the place. Mr. Sellman, known as the modern Beau Brummel, sports the latest in men ' s clothes and sings, dances, and acts to the delight of the entire audience. Anyone will be well repaid for see- ing this most excellent production. QUACK WANT ADS. Lost and Found. Lost — Somewhere in N. H. S. My popularity. Finder return to Z. Y. X., and receive reward.

The High School Debating Society was formed for the purpose of giving its members drill in public speaking and deductive reasoning. Mr. Miller had charge of this organ- ization, and under his guidance an enthusiastic year ' s work was done by the society. At the beginning of the year the society comprised twelve members, and since then six others have been voted in. Under the constitution adopted last fall, any high school boy may apply for membership, but upon application he must be unanimously elected by vote of the society. The officers for the year 1916-17 were as follows: Jack Harvey, President; Reuel Jackson, Vice President; Alec Brown, Secretary. Meetings were held twice each month during the school year, and at such meetings, some leading question of the day was debated, decisions being rendered by judges selected from the members of the society. Much excellent work has been done along this line, and the Debating Society is recognized as one of the leading societies of the High School.

It con- sists of Miss Portner and Mr. Miller, as faculty representatives, and six students elected by the student body. These student members for 1916-17 are Esther Brown, Dorothy Dodge, Wilma Fleck, Reuel Jackson, Jack Harvey and Frank Carpenter. The committee has filled a very important place in our High School life. It has boosted our athletics, our debates, and our High School play. It is back of every activity, and with the work of its enthusiastic members it has taken a leading part in developing Pep. among the student body. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women ' s Christian Association of the Newton High School was organized in November, 1916. The purpose of tliis Association shall he to create, maintain and extend throughout the school a strong, high moral sentiment; to furnish a knowledge of Jesus Christ that will lead to fulhiess of life and devel- opment of Christian character; and to inspire an association of effort in Christian service for ' others ' . Although this work has been organized less than a year, a great deal has been accomplished in a religious and in a moral way, and the prospects for the future of the Association are very bright.

A., the standard held up was, clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, and our program consisted of various activities to make possible the meeting of our standard. In the first place definite plans for weekly meetings were made and every Wednesday night the club held a meeting from seven fifteen to eight o ' clock. Forty fellows kept up attendance at the Bible Study classes, being present at four out of six meetings. Gospel Team meetings were a part of the year ' s work and a number of such meetings were held about the county. It is the purpose of the High Y. to fill the first side of the Y. M. C. A. triangle; Spirit, Mind, Body, and emphasis was placed on this one phase throughout the year. The officers are: Alex Brown, President; Reuel Jack- son, Secretary; William Kelley, Treasurer. r O S=i a D o O o pq i-i O O Ph t- is Q, th T 9 m O d o - m o S . -Cm e 0) oj a z a o tc a I- c3 C ■ TO -4_) o c ' t: 03 n - T3 5 o p p ? o 5 a -a « £ 3 S c S « o S c o o 03 -►J - 03 C £ § a ! 03 C5 O C o a 5 o) s 8 M SB a c 2 o 03 a 0) «4-( O-l • O C fl, 0 o ill) 3 X3 C c3 0) D 13 O ' C3 ' _ C 1 ' 53 -3 J3 « O . , C t-.

Tuesday, Feb. 27. And lo, on this morning Jack Harvey drew near unto the school-house and called to his companions, saying, Behold, 1 have this day seen the flrst robin of the year.

( I 1 I COACH GUY V. NEWCOMER. Director of Athletics. The year 1916-17 was more than sat- isfactory from an athletic standpoint. Not only did the wearers of the Scar- let and Black bring honor to their school upon field, track and floor, but the year saw the adoption of higher standards of excellence, and the awarding of sweaters and letters was made contingent upon the meeting of more severe requirements than has hitherto been the case. The necessity of training and the value of good sportsmanship are being recognized more and more each year by those who seek to represent their school in any line of athletics. A Board of Athletic Control has been established in N. H. S. which has supervision of all lines of athletics. This Board consists of Superintend- ent, Principal, Business Manager, Physical Directors and a student rep- resentative from each class. It has adopted a set of regulations provid- ing that a participant must be in 150 minutes of play to earn the basket- ball letter, 36 innings to earn the base ball letter, and must be a member of a winning relay team at the Drake re- lays, win 4 points in college invitation meets, or win one point in the State Meet to earn the standard track letter. During the year Coach Newcomer has introduced base ball, a branch of athletics practically unknown in our High School in recent years, but one which bids fair to be as successful in its season as football or basketball are in theirs. Football. Although some feel that the 1916 football season was not a success in the number of games won, it was a tremendous success in the amount of school spirit evident at all times, and in the good sportsmanship shown by the team whether in victory or defeat. From the pep shown at the Colfax game in spite of rain, to the crowd of enthusiasts at Grinnell, the spirit has been very commendable and upon this even more perhaps than upon the scores rests the success or failure of athletics in High School. The Season ' s Scores. Newton Mitchellville 0 - 26 E. Des Moines 33 0 Perry 14 7 Ames 13 0 Indianola 3 - 20 Colfax 0 22 Grinnell 14 0 Opponents — 77 Newton— 75 Basket Ball. Newton was justly proud of her team and its record during the 1917 season. Out of a total of 12 games played, Newton won 9, defeating the fast West Liberty five, and twice tri- umphing over Grinnell. The regular team was composed mostly of men who had been under fire before. Stauf- fer. Harp, Kelly, Donahey and Jones of last year ' s men, with Harvey, At- wood, Morrison, Carpenter and McEl- roy as new recruits, made a combina- tion that over and over again brought joy to the hearts of their supporters and honor to their school. A new sys- t(im. of defense was introduced this year, which was a big factor in help- ing to win, as most of our opponents were unable successfully to combat it. The boys who defended our honor on the floor this season wore Newton ' s colors for the last time. Hard, indeed, will it be to find others to take their places. The School extends grateful thanks and appreciation to the outgo- ing team for their splendid work, and for the spirit of clean, fair sportsman- ship which invariably characterized their playing. Review of the Season. The first game of the season was played against Prairie City on New- ton ' s floor. The visitors were easy victims, and went home defeated by a score of 60-6. One week later Grinnell bowed to us and accepted a defeat of 31-16. We had expected that this would be a harder victory to win than it was, but the scientific team work and uniform- ity of play which were to be respon- sible for Newton ' s victorious season, began to be evident in this game and proved too much for the Orange and Black visitors. The next game was with Brooklyn on the local floor. The first half was fast and exciting with plenty of scrap, but the second half was characterized b y lack of interest and pep, the game ending with a score of 30-7 in favor of Newton. Penn Academy was the next victim, and this was a battle royal. The visit- ors came down with the evident inten- tion of demonstrating their superior- ity over Newton, but again the pretty w ork of the Newton forwards, and the bewildering system of ' defense whicli was worked proved the undoing of our opponents, who lost a hard fought battle by a score of 20-11. The following night. West Liberty, flushed with her victory over Clinton the preceding week, invaded Newton ' s stronghold. The Newton boys were battered and bruised frdm their en- counter of the night before, but they rose in their might and in the most furiously fought battle ever seen on a NeAvton floor, they proceeded to edu- cate AVest Liberty in the gentle art of playing basketball. The work of Kelly and Harvey, as guards, brought roars of applause from the big crowd of spectators who packed the gym and gave the players royal support during the contest. After fifty minutes of heart-hreakin.a: work, N. H. S. emerged victorious with the score 18-12 in her favor. The game witli the Newton Alumni proved easy money for the High School lads, who without exerting themselves in the least, ran up a score of 54-3 on the old-timers. Newton now began a series of irnmes played away from home. The first of these was the return game with Penn Academy, where the rough- est and most unsatisfactory game of the season was played with a result- ing score of 27-17 against the Scarlet and Black. The following week the team jour- neyed to Towa City and though they were met and defeated by a superior five, they put up a splendid battle and won much favorable comment, both from the spectators and from the vic- tors. Following the Iowa Citv game came the battle with Dallas Center. Dallas had previously beaten Boone, who had in turn conquered Marshalltown, and consequently there was much re- joicing among iS ewton rooters when the boys brought home the long end of a 30-15 score. Then came the return game with Grinnell, the last game preceding the Tournament. This was a close, hard- fought, spectacular battle, second only to the West Liberty game in point of strenuous play and deadly guarding, but Newton by the excellent work of her guards, and by the super- ior playing of her forwards, clearly deserved the victory which she won by a score of 17-9. The game was a thriller, the two teams being only a point or two apart up to the last four minutes of play, when Newton scored several points in quick succession and clinched the victory. The season ended with the tourna- ment at Des Moines, and here for the first time in the season the team dis- appointed its followers. The first game was with Gliddon, who went down in defeat, 13-7. The same even- ing Newton played her second game, this time with Afton, and as the result of some unaccountable slump in the entire team, they met defeat at the hands of a school from whom they should have won easily. While this event brought disappointment to the followers of the sport in Newton, yet as a whole the season was remarkably successful, and closed with a deeper spirit of interest and enthusiasm for this line of athletics than the school has ever before known.

The 1916 track season was probably the most brilliant that Newton has ever seen. The call for men was given early in the spring, and soon a squad of some 30 men were out on the Cen- tral School square, displaying many and varied designs in spring wearing apparel, and incidentally putting in some earnest and conscientious work. Monte knew the track game from A to Z and put his men through some days of strenuous practice. The team was built up around a few veterans of the preceding year, and they, together with several new men which were developed, raised Newton to an enviable position in interschol- astic track. The boys finished the year with a total to their credit of ten gold medals, several silver and bronze ones, a banner and a trophy cup. The first meet in which Newton was entered was the Drake relays, held at Des Moines in April. Here Nefwton took second place in the medley race, and lowered the previous record by 7 seconds. Newton would undoubtedly have taken first place had the men not exhausted themselves in an effort to place in the 2-mile relay. As it was, Newton led until the last ten yards, when Porter, of Webster City barely squeezed past Harp and over the tape. The next meet was that at Indian- ola, and here the Scarlet and Black be- gan to show the brilliant work that distinguished them throughout the rest of the track season. Kelly took second place in the hundred yard, first in the 220 and first in the quarter mile. Harp took second honors in the half-mile and Lufkin in the mile. Pas- chal and Morrison took third and fourth places respectively in the high hurdles. Newton brought home a banner from this meet as trophy. Monte next took his squad to the meet at Oskaloosa, where they swept the field, taking first place in a list of 16 schools, winning six firsts and bringing home a total of 30 points. Kelly took first in the hundred, first in the 440 and first in the 220. In this last, however, though he finished first by a long margin, he was disqualified for having stepped out of his lane. Spectators who attended the meet said that Kelly was the prettiest runner in the field that day. Lufkin took first in the mile and first in the broad jump, astonishing the on-lookers by clear- ing the ground for a distance of 20 ft. 11 in. Harp led the field in the half- mile, winning easily in 2:07, and Luf- kin, Paschal, Jackson and Kelly took first in the mile relay, stepping it in 3 :38 time. The boys brought home 5 gold medals and a trophy cup as spoils of this meet. The next contest was held at Grin- nell in a drizzling rain. The races were run in six inches of water which made the records somewhat lower than they otherwise would have been. Newton took fourth place in this meet. Kelly, true to his reputation, took first place in the quarter-mile, and also took second in the 220. Harp splashed over the tape with the half-mile rec- ord to his credit, and Lufkin again carried off first in the broad jump. It was just after this meet that Newton ' s jinx seemed to get hold of her. Paschal had lacerated his knees in falling on the cinder track and was unable to enter any more contests. Harp also was unavailable and to cap the climax Lufkin strained a tendon a few days before the state meet at Des Moines. With this chapter of acci- dents, Newton ' s entries dwindled to one lone man. We put our trust in Kelly and sent him forth with our blessing. He responded nobly, and in a thrilling run that brought the entire grand-stand to its feet, finished the quarter-mile in a bare eight inches ahead of his nearest competitor. Kelly ' s record in Des Moines that day was 51 4-5, while the record made by the winner at the Stagg meet in June was 52 3-5. The meet at Des Moines closed a highly successful year in track activi- ties; one which brought much de- served honor upon both coach and men. ROYCE HARP, L. End. (Last Year.) Full of fight.

We ' ll pack our school books all away And play, yes play for many a day. Some for the city, some for the farm; Forgotten the school-bell ' s last alarm. Now to vacation ' s call we heed. We follow, follow in her lead. We wander here and flitter there; Forgotten all our school-days ' care. — Le Ora Schnell. The unexpected happened Once. Serious and frivilous facts about the great and the near great. Vern S. spoke to a girl on the street and didn ' t blush. Vern M. went to Sunday School. Mr. M. forgot to smile that sweet celestial smile of his which so beautifies his counte- nance. Arlando forgot and left his pink complexion at home. Wilma Fleck was quiet for ten minutes. A day passed without Margaret getting a let- ter from Vern. Laurine A. was alone. Carroll W. was brave enough to face the prospect of going out alone at night. Gladys R. didn ' t stick out her tongue or make a face for five minutes. Edwin C. didn ' t grin, he doesn ' t smile, he grins. The quantity of the Seniors ' wisdom is not Strained. It floweth as the running waters. Upon the lower classmen. It is impressive. Ic inspireth all that hear it. ' Tns mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes The worthy Senior better than all his good looks. For his looks are the lure for worldly lusts. The attribute to wiles and vanity. Therein doth lie the jealousy and envy of rivals. But wisdom is above this. It is written upon the Senior ' s brow, It ' s beauty is everlasting. Miss R. : What casket did Prince Morocco choose and what was in it? Juanita B.: He chose the golden casket and found his skeleton inside. He was very much surprised. The noise caused by workmen while putting up the fire escapes was disturbing the class. when Mr. Miller said, Is there any other room, vacant at this period except this one? Marjorie F. : How did your automobile acci- dent happen? Irene F. (Just learning to drive the Ford) : Well, there ' s one thing you keep your eye on, another you keep your hand on, another you keep your foot on, and I guess I got my anat- omy in th e wrong place. There is a young girl named Myrtle, I ' ve heard, All the books in the world she has read, And reporters ten deep Take her talk in her sleep. Such bright things she must have in her head. Miss Western in Physics: Gas causes a loss of some of the red corpuscles. Florence C. (worried over her physical wel- fare) : Will they come back again? The Seniors saw a patch of green. Which they thought was the Freshman class. But when they drew near, it was seen. It was only a looking glass. ON OVER-DUE THEMES. If I ' ve come to class unprepared To hand in my theme, I am scared; If I have moved among school mates And made no joyous evening dates; If glares from English teacher ' s eyes Have moved me not. If her surprise, Her threats and condemnations Caused me no agitations; Ma ' am your most pointed pleasure take, And shake me until wide awake; Or, Ma ' am, if too obdurate I Choose you e ' er I for pity cry, A most suitable punishment Make on my wooden head, a dent. — M. B. High School students ' remarks heard in Public Library: Is Mrs. Wiggs of the cabbage patch in? Is the Man without a country here? I want the Iron Woman. Give me the thinnest book you have. I smile when I see the grades. For they fill me with laughter and glee. And the Freshmen seem quite worried Over lessons, how can it be? I confess my love for the Juniors, The Seniors I really adore. But the class that ' s best In old N. H. S. Is the ambitious Sophomore. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Florence C. growing some more hair. Merwin M. being a perfect angel. Effie A. looking cross. Roy I. flirting.

There was a man came to this town Who thought he knew it all. He entered Mr. Speer ' s class, And there he had a fall. There was a Freshman named Hammer, Who had an awful manner Of going up and down the room With a look of awful gloom Upon his sad and smiling face. For he was running a losing race With the smartest m the class, Who was a very funny little lass. Red hair, freckles and all this Go to make a world of bliss. So we hope you will succeed Upon this, a very earnest deed. Office Force, Commercial Dept. O. J. Browning, Mgr.

Is it good form to go without a hat in a rain storm? Lucile M. Yes, especially if one ' s hair is inclined to kinkiness. I am a handsome young man with golden hair and blue eyes. I have become an ideal of the girls on account of my beauty and my ath- letic record. What can I do to escape their annoying attentions? Speck. Self conceit is a wonderful thing. Come back to earth. Should I move any faster than necessary? Ham. No. Only in case of a fire or a tornado should you exceed the speed limit of two miles an hour. I am greatly worried. Yesterday at one o ' clock I failed to go over to my friend ' s seat and talk to her. I am very much afraid she will never forgive me. What shall I do? Eddie. She should be able to live that long without you. She will soon forget it in the ecstasy. What would you suggest as gifts for several young ladies in whom I am interested. M. Cut glass is very pretty and inexpensive. Chocolates are also in favor now. i Is it proper to go to school without a collar? Bob. It is a very pretty custom, especially if one has a beautiful neck. I expect to teach higher mathematics. What book, or course would you advise me to study to fit myself for this work? Bill. Your question is a little out of our line. How- ever, the Book of Fractions would prove ex- ceedingly beneficial and essential in the work you will take up. Were you ever addressed thusly by the fol- lowing, when you first met them in the hall in the morning?

And in that dream he climbed The diamond studded golden stairs To see what he could find. Second Faint. Tired out he reached the Golden Gate. St. Peter, old and gray. Surveyed him with his mystic specks In his Ironic way. Third Fit. Well? said old St. Peter as he dipped His quill into the ink, What have you done to reap reward? The Freshman paused to think. Fourth Spasm. Sir, while on earth I never did A wrong to anyone. And oft I read the good old book After the day was done Fifth Outburst. Enough! roared St. Peter, ashy white, How dare you lie to me? He tapped the bell and loudly yelled, Imp, bind his hands for me. Sixth Inspiration. The Freshman soon was pushed away Into the windy hall. Before he ' d travelled far He heard St. Peter call. Seventh Poetic Impulse. Retrace your steps my fine young man. Meekly did he obey. I fear I ' ve made a grave mistake, He heard the old man say. Eighth Hysteria. The records on my desk now show That while on earth you were A Freshman in old N. H. S. Behold! Land of the Fair. Ninth Nightmare. He touched the bell, and as the gates Swung back the youth beheld A land where angels welcomed him As heavenly music swelled. Tenth Raving. It was too bad, St. Peter sighed. But in he had to go, For long as I am left to judge, No Freshman goes below. Eleventh — Utter Collapse. For list to me: Long, long ago By test this Saint has learned That every little Freshman is, By far too green to burn. 03 yi oj The Hig,h School Fellow wants more than a correct tit.
