As ready as were you in every need,- We hold ourselves in waiting for your call,' You will not send the message forth in vain, N ewtonia, we will come, each one and all. The dearest ties of Love have bound us fast,- We cannot lose your gift of service true,' There will be no forgetting through the years ,' The melody is yours, in our life's song. There can be no farewell for us, dear friend,- Our Alma Mater, and our guide so true,' 'Tis Au revoir, but not good-bye, we say, Until we come again, Mater, to you. LESLIE C.

The Editors wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped in the publication of this book. We have endeavored to make a few changes for the better in this volume. Also we have introduced one or two new features which we hope will meet with the approval of our readers. Whether or not they will, remains to be seen. Our country is now at war. Perhaps some of the familiar faces within this book will never be seen again. However, let us hope for the best, and rest in assurance that, whatever may come, the sons of Newton High School will do their part in upholding the honor of the nation. 9 NEWTON IAN STAFF Back row: Kilton, Emery, Simpson, Mr. Thomas, Fawcett, Cole, Henderson, Macomber Middle row: Miss Harrington, Miss Gruener, Nash, Miss Dodge, Miss VVellwood Front row: Miss Perkins, Miss Carter, Miss Chellis, Miss Olmstead, Miss Woods VVhelden Boyden gaeintonian Qtaff Editor-in-Chief PAUL F.

Burr School Entered from Mason Grammar School The Editor wishes to thank Misses Harrington and Gruener and Messrs. Starkweather and Boyden for the appropriate and complimentary CFD quotations underneath the names of the Seniors. 55 Zeistnrp nf the Qlllass of 1917 HEN we entered Newton High School, in the fall of 1913, We Were perfectly normal. Like every other class that has ever entered that esteemed Hall of Learning, we were sure that We were going to our doom, and con- sequently assumed that petrified air peculiar to high-school Freshmen. We wandered aimlessly through the corridors, and toiled breathlessly to the fourth floor to find Room 6. At last, after repeated mistakes, and much embarrass- ment on our part, we became accustomed to our surroundings, and began to take an interest in high-school life. H Soon hockey and basketball teams were formed, but We didn't believe in making ourselves conspicuous by so far departing from the traditional customs of all Freshmen classes as to win any victories along these lines. Such a modest class! That adjective, however, applys only to Freshmen. As soon as we became Sophomores we eliminated it from our vocabularies, for now we Were given that great and glorious opportunity to look down on the Freshmen, and make them realize our Worth. How proudly we assembled in the hall for our first class meeting! And we were even prouder, when our meeting adjourned, after We had elected as officers: HENRY GARRITY: President i ELEANOR Donn: Vice-President BARBARA CooKE: Secretary ELIZABETH CLAPP: Treasurer When athletics began, '17 succeeded in winning from the Freshmen in hockey, football, and basketball 5 and We put up a good fight against the other classes. The boys were defeated in track, but in the girls' meet the Sophomores Won second place, overcoming the Freshmen and Juniors. Altogether it was a pleasant and successful year. We had long since' lost our childish beliefs of the year before, and had decided that Newton High Was a pretty good place after all. Isn't it great to be an upper classman? Look at those tiny Freshmen! Did We ever look like that? These and similar remarks were heard from various members of the Junior class when school opened in September, 1915. Of course the first event Was our election, which gave the following results: J OHN STARKWEATHER: President VIRGINIA SPEARE: Vice-President SIBLEY LITTIG: Secretary GERALD HENDERSON: Treasurer 56 THE 1917 NEWTONIAN Politeness is an epithet belonging to the Juniors. Would you believe it? We had such good manners that we gave victories to the Seniors in almost every athletic contest. However, many from 1917 were on the school team, to help the Seniors win for Newton. Not to be disregarded is that remarkable magazine, a masterpiece produced by our class, under the editorship of Elizabeth Carter. It bore the title, The Columbine, and, in our opinion, is worthy of great praise. And now at last we are Seniors! It has been said that if life holds any position more important, any business more soul-satisfying than that of being a high-school Senior, few people are so fortunate as to have discerned it. Of course we admit the truth of this statement. We are fully aware that this year has been most important and soul-satisfying for the class of '17. As our officers we elected: J OHN STARKWEATHER: President PAUL NAsH: Vice-Presfzfdent MARY WEsT: Secretary GERALD HENDERSON: Treasurer The athletic field and the gymnasium have been scenes of victories for us, and the Review, Student Council, English Club and other societies have flourished under our guidance. And we mustn't forget the English Club play, written by J . M. Scott and Paul Coggins, and presented by members of the Senior class. What glory both authors and actors reflected upon '17! ' The time is now close at hand when we must leave Newton High forever. May it be said of us, 'fThe school has lost its finest class, that of'1917! .

Hadn't it spent eight years preparing for the long four years' journey that now lay ahead of it? However, this proud feeling did not last long g the other cars took care of that. Many a hardship came to the little green car. There were the sharp five- week-report stones to get by without blow-outs. This feat required considerable skill and diplomacy, and patching the punctures required still more. The Hthree-to-four mud was also a great hindrance. The athletic part of the road shook the little car up badly-so badly, in fact, that, sad to say, it brought up the rear. But with never-dying spirit it met and passed its last road terror, the June finals. The next year the road seemed easier and, under the guidance of Allen Davidson, the green car sped swiftly ahead. This time the athletic road held it up finely. Perhaps a new pair of tires, in the form of an entertainment, had something to do with the green car's success. The third year of the journey found the car still under the guidance of Allen Davidson. Two years' experience had prepared it for the athletic road, and it had left the other cars behind on the basketball and track speedways. The school team owed its success partly to the green car, for Captain Garrity, Macombcr, Hughes and 'Nutting belonged with its passengers. It also contributed Garrity, Eaton, Davidson, Scott, Hughes, and Owen to the championship hockey team. In fact, this year the car, no longer helpless and inexperienced, was a throb- bing factor in the life of the Newton High School, and we believe that the fourth lap of its journey will find it still more so.

CATHERINE JONES 71 Zeistcirp of tba amass nf 1920 HERE she sat by the fireside. She was a dear, kind old lady and was called The Class of Twenty-one. As she sat there watching the dancing flames, she thought of years back, when she was a Freshman in the Newton High School, and she fancied she saw a procession pass by in the flames. First there came down a long, rocky pathway the class officers. These were Stanley Lyon, President, Betty Boutell, Vice-President, Charles Wardwell, Secretary, and Catharine J ones, Treasurer. Next came the girls' basketball team, but they were not looking very happy, as the result of a severe defeat by the Sophomores. The team consisted of J. Heath, C. Jones, K. Slayter, K. Daniels, A. Hatch, D. Fales, E. Ewing, F. Owen and K. Rising. The boys' team followed, but the only faces that could be recog- nized were those of Coady, Bell and R. Garrity. The girls' hockey team was seen next. D. Hall, as captain of the team, was followed by K. Daniels, F. Owen, H. Schultz, K. Slayter, H. Nathan, M. Juthe, E. Leacy, D. Fales, H. Crampton and E. Stubbs. Then down that path came many others. Some were studying or reading books, others were running along happily and were laughing, while still others were talking quietly as they walked along in two's and three's. There were many teachers, too, who were walking with the children, helping those who stumbled or fell. The log in the fire fell, shattering the lovely picture, but in its place stood a tall building. This made Class of Twenty-one think of the many Monday mornings spent in the Assembly Hall when Mr. Adams spoke to the class. Many incidents in school life were then thought of, each one suggested by another. The firelight began to flicker and slowly the embers burnt out, leaving this old lady, T he Class of Twenty-one, to dream about her happy school days in the dear old Newton High School.

STARKWEATHER AMES won, 6, lost, 4, tied, 1. This does not look like a particularly envi- able record. Nevertheless, when the very small number of candidates is taken into consideration, we wonder that we succeeded in defeating any team other than Watertown. We lost the first three games to Needham, Revere and Somerville respec- tively. The next games were more encouraging-Huntington, Watertown, Tech 1920, Wellesley, Cambridge and Boston Latin were disposed of easily, Waltham succeeded in tying us, and we lost to Brookline. This year, for the third successive time, the game with Waltham resulted in a tie. After the game Coach Dickinson made two interesting statements: No Newton team will ever fear Waltham again. tHe did not refer to this year's team, but to one of a few years agojg and, 'fNewton will never again lose to Waltham, unless it be on a fluke. The team contained two real stars: Captain Henry Cfarrity at half-back and Ed McDonald at tackle. These two were the nucleus of the team. Too much cannot be said of the remarkable ability and indomitable gameness of Garrity, to fully appreciate him as a football player, one must have played on a team with him. His team mates recognized his merits, and unanimously re-elected him captain for next year. We wish him all the success in the world. Edmand McDonald was a tackle of exceptional ability, and, although not a brilliant player, his consistently good work classes him as one of the best tackles of the year. The whole team deserves no small amount of credit for its season's work. The stellar performances of Spalding at guard, Nutting at quarter and Macomber at center cannot be overlooked. After the Brookline game, the whole squad, with the exception of three or four, signified its intention of returning to school for another year, if for no other purpose than to play again against Waltham and Brookline. If half of those who say they are going to return do so, heaven help the opposition. 77 BASEBALL TEAM Richards, Lord, Irwin fMgr.J, Veo, Garrity, Henderson, Systrom, Sawyer, Maynard, Allen Murphy, McDonald, King, Hurley, Hughes, Rottler, Owen, Eaton, McGill, Davidson E J M . - ,f f l lr f at-J' 11 fa .

The material was not what it might have been, and, although some fifty odd candidates reported for practice, no man of Arthur Roberts' caliber was uncovered. Then, too, the schedule was unusually difficult. In the interclass meet, for the first time in many years, the Senior Class failed to come through, they were nosed out by the Juniors, only after Captain Garrity decided to give his points to the latter class. In the dual meet with Huntington, in their gymnasium, Newton was decis- ively defeated. Garrity was the only Newton man to win a first place. c Next was the triangular meet in our own gym with Wakefield and Cam- bridge. The latter team was among the also-rans, as it failed to scoreapoint. The meet was hotly contested between Newton and Wakefield, and not until Newton lost the relay race was Wakefield awarded the decision. In the greater Boston interscholastic meet, which Newton won last year, the team made a better showing than was expected, taking fourth place. Duval, our trusty long-distance man, sprung a surprise by winning the mile easily, Hayes took second in the dash, and Brickhouse finished second in the 300. The B. A. A. meet afforded another surprise, when Bowen landed a second place in the high hurdles, neither he nor we expected it. Hayes took second place in the dash. The team was strong in the dash, 300-, 600-, and 1,000-yard runs, with Hayes, Brickhouse, Garrity and Duval, respectively, taking care of these events, but in the jump and shot-put the team was somewhat weaker, although Billings, Gray and Macomber did some creditable work. Nutting has been elected captain for next year, and Clarence Wyatt was appointed manager. 81 HOCKEY TEAM Hine Garrity Buntin Davidson Forbush CMgrJ Rottler Eaton LaCroix CCapt.J Hughes Stonemetz ALPHoNsE LACROIX, Captain WAIQCOTT FORBUSH, Manager ATS off to our hockey teaml They came through in great style, winning the league title in handy fashion, and not losing a single game, being, in- cidentally, the only undefeated high or prep school in the State. Too much cannot be said of the stellar performances of Captain LaCroix, Roger Buntin and Leo Hughes. LaCroix throughout the season played a grand game in the net, and was almost universally conceded to be the premier goal of the year. Buntin played a whale of a game all season, and was one of the best rovers on the ice. Leo Hughes was probably the most valuable man to theteam, he played a hard, fast game, and was a tower of strength on both the offense and defense. Every man on the team is entitled to great praise. Garrity played a strong game at cover-point, Stonemetz, until scholastic deficiencies got in his way, showed up well , Davidson, Eaton, Rottler, Scott and Whalen were also good. The team got away to a good start in the league, by defeating Arlington 4--2. Then all went along smoothly until we met Brookline. This team proved to be a tartar, and after ten minutes' overtime the game was declared a draw, 1-1. In the play-off Newton won easily, 3-0, and the league title at last came home. Newton has been a member of the Interscholastic Hockey League for three years, and in that time has made an enviable record g for the last two years we have been runner-up, and this year the title is ours. The election for captain was closely contested between Hughes and Eaton, the choice going to the latter. Hine was appointed manager. With Davidson, Captain Eaton, Garrity, Hughes and Scott back in the fold, there is apparently no reason why Newton should not repeat next year. 83 TENNIS TEAM Taylor Fairfield Olgrj Lee-tc Vaughan Scott QCapt.j Andrews I ,119 Sl N ' X ' 'C' s fa Ili E l GEORGE SCOTT, Captain HARRISON FAIRFIELD, Manager APTAIN George Scott, Vaughan, Leete, and Taylor showed up well in the annual fall tournament, and were accordingly given places on the school team. Andrews and Jackson were chosen to complete the team, the latter, however, has left school, and it is uncertain who will replace him. Andrews, Scott and Vaughan will take care of the singles, while the latter two, along with Leete and Taylor, will furnish opposition in the doubles. A triangular tennis league has been formed between Newton, Brookline and Cambridge, this should stimulate the interest in this sport. Great things are expected of Captain Scott this spring, and he will undoubt- edly come through. Manager Fairfield has arranged the following excellent schedule: Tues. Fri. Tues. Sat. Wed. Sat.

The school team won from Arlington 3-0, from Miss BouVe's 4-2, and from the alumnae 4-3, but lost to Wheaton 3-0. The season was one of the best, and Newton is proud of the showing made by the team. Special credit should be given to Kiddle for her steady work at wing, to Marjorie Chellis for her good aim 5 and Ruth Alexander for her splendid defense in critical moments. The wish of the team to next year's captain, Priscilla Clarke, is that she may enjoy as successful and plea Sant a season. 87 GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Bliss Gulian Bliss Pedley Bliss Carter Bliss Fisher Miss Alexander Miss VVeed Miss Perkins Miss Kennedy Miss Lyon WX ITIL 9 X - ,L 1 x Q xgx xxx Q ' if vicar , 92 I , V I ti, 'lu ,WH 'fix Jilin? . - 'ii-lf X ,fair -4 . 1, A -' LESLIE PERKINS, Captain HELoIsE IQENNEDY, Manager ASKETBALL began early, but practice was broken into terribly byvaca- tions and interruptions of one sort and another.

But, as it happened, she did, so I did! Now, whenever Harvard goes away, I like to keep an eye on her 5 so on Saturday morning I dug up an old atlas, spread it open on the hall window seat and found the map of Michigan. If you've ever looked at the map of Michigan, you know what a mess it is-all covered with measly printing, and you know how hard it is to find what you want. Well I couldn't find what I wanted, to save my soul. Then I got mad. Where the deuce, I exclaimed wrathfully, 'fwhere the deuce is Ann Arbor? Oh, you dear boy, say those blessed words again! My sister Mildred came rushing downstairs and fairly threw herself at my feet. 'fWhat do you mean? I asked coldly. I didn't cherish much love for Mil that morning because she hadn't asked me to an old dinner she was giving in the evening. Not that I care a straw about dinners, but it simply made my blood boil to think she'd left me out just for the sake of inviting that loathsome Archibald Hall. There isn't a man on earth that I hate more than I do him. He's one of those awfully self-satisfied people, you know, who are simply un- bearable. It was the height of my ambition-always had been, in fact-to make him appear ridiculous in the eyes of our town, which had such respect for him. Get up! I added sternly. Mil pulled herself up and then flopped down on Michigan. Oh! she sighed, you don't know how good it seems to hear a girl's name! Girl's name? said I. 'fYes, Ann Arbor. Why, that isn't, I began, but stopped. Who is she? demanded Mil. What do you want to know for? I snapped. Don't be so cross! You know I'd have invited you if there'd been room. Now, listen! You must tell me who Ann Arbor is so I can ask her to dinner! What? I gasped. Yes, Dinner. It is a little unusual, asking someone you don't know. But you know her, Billy, so it's all right. You see, Billy, while you were down cellar, Mary Carr's maid called up to say that Mary had just stumbled down- stairs and hurt her back so she couldn't come. I nearly went mad. I telephoned 94 THE 1917 NEWTONIAN every girl I could think of, but no one can come in Mary's place. I want my party to be a success. Now tell me who Ann is and if you think she'd come. Does she live in Cambridge? Er-she's staying there for a while. Oh, she's one of those girls you're always taking to the 'Merle' I know, dear, and I won't tease you. But do you think she'd come? Sure she'd come! She said the other day she wished she could meet you. Q You know I can lie like all outdoors when I get started! D Shall I call her up? Oh, if you only will! Billy, you're just the dearest boy! I'm so sorry you can't come, but you know there really isn't room! Mil handed me the tele- phone, as she spoke, and I called Anne's number. I got Ann and she said she'd be delighted to come. I told her how to get to the house and said I was sorry I shouldn't be able to meet her-and then hung up. Mil smothered me in one of those big hugs of hers and ran upstairs. I got my hat, yelled that I was going in town and probably would stop at college on the way out and wouldn't be home till late at night. Then I went off, my innocent little head Hlled with very naughty thoughts. Well, Ann Arbor arrived safely, and a little ahead of time. She was dressed in a pretty silk dress and looked very sweet. CAnn really had very pretty golden hair and noticeably red cheeks.j Mil gave her a glorious welcome and invited her up to the sun room for a cozy little chat before the others came. A cozy chat they had. Mil learned all of Ann's past history-as well as present g how Ann had come on from Michigan after her parents had died and was living in Cam- bridge with an aunt. And how she did love the good times the Harvard boys gave her-Billy especially. Billy was such a dear boy. She just hated to have him go home for week-ends. Ann was very popular with the rest of Mil's guests. When dinner was served, she found herself beside a Mr. Archibald Hall, a very neat-looking gentle- man who wore a monocle. He was a millionaire, and, although thirty-three, was still unmarried. It was some time before he ventured conversation with Ann, though he kept looking at her out of the corner of his eye, and Ann, who was quite used to such things, detected' devotion in his glance! Er-Miss Arbor, he stammered finally, I think we ought to talk. Yes, smiled Ann, who had been thinking so for a long time. What shall we talk about? What they did talk about was Mr. Archibald himself, rather that was what he talked about, while Ann listened. She was surprised at the number of times he had crossed the Atlantic, astonished at the immense size of his house and 95 NEWTON HIGH SCHGOL gardens, and astounded at the deeds of valor which he had done. But When, right out of a clear sky, he asked her if she believed in love at first sight she spilt her glass of water all over his trousers, and dropped her fork with such a bang that everybody stared at her. When calmed somewhat, she suggested that a proposal would sound better on a nice moonlight night when they were alone. And so he decided to wait. Then he became suddenly embarrassed and said nothing more until after dinner when he and Ann were alone in the hall for a moment. 'fMiss Arbor, he began passionately, 'gmay I come to see you? And how soon? And-and where do you live? I Ann smiled. Surely you may! And come just as soon as ever you like. You will find me in Michigan, where Harvard was playing football today! With that sweet reply, Ann snatched off her wig, and I turned to face the dumbfounded Archibald Hall. Well, everybody is simply howling about old Hall. And when I get home next Friday night I'll get it, all right, from Mil. But who cares ? I have reached the height of my ambition! EsTELLE WELLWooD. 96 jfeet nf Qtlap ITH a whirlwind rush Gwendolyn entered her chum's room and threw her- self upon her surprised friend. W My dear! When did you get home? I am so glad to see you, I haven't seen you in years! Marion gasped. The two girls were most intimate friends who had been separated for three months, as Gwendolyn had gone away to boarding school. She had come home unexpectedly for a short visit and had come over to tell Marion about every- thing. I have so much to tell you! she bubbled, putting down a package she had brought with her. Marion, guess what- QShort pause for dramatic effect.D I have found my ideal! h Marion gasped sympathetically and pulled her friend down beside her to tell all about it. He's so wonderful, Gwendolyn continued rapturously, tall, dark, and so strong and handsome, with marvelous, crispy black hair, and black eyes that make me shiver, they are so mystic and soulful. Who is he? interpolated the deeply impressed Marion. That's just it. He's an actor and all the girls are crazy about him. He's such a wonderful actor he thrills you to pieces, although they don't give him very big parts. He played in Southbend for five weeks and I went to see every single matinee I could. And what do you think, Marion, her voice sank to an awed whisper, I never told anyone else, but we have been correspondingll' My dear! What a coinci- And he sent me his picture, autographed, she went on, I'll show it to you, but first you must see his letters. Proudly she drew them forth while Marion looked tensely on. 'Dear little friend,' she read. Isn't that a sweet beginning? 'Your note gave me very great pleasure and I thank you for it so much. One does not get such letters every day. Be sure to be down front at the next matinee with your violets on for identification, so I may see my appreciative little friend. It is almost time for me to go on now, but don't disappoint me next Saturday, will you? Enclosed you'll find a photo of me if it is of any interest to you, as I venture to hope it will be. Hastily yours, Carl M. J enningsf A stifled exclamation escaped Marion and she seized Gwendolyn by the arm. Gwen, I have something terrible to tell you! she said in the dead voice of 97 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL one whose fondest dreams have collapsed. She rose and, going to her desk, took from it a bunch of letters, from which she selected one and spread it before Gwendolyn. 'Ihere! she breathed tragically. Gwendolyn looked and her eyes widened with shocked horror, for the letter was almost the exact replica of her own! O-oh! O-oh! she cried. Then he never meant any of it at all. He just wrote the same thing to any girl to get her to come to the play! Hal Ha! Ha! That is the best joke on you two girls I ever heard. The girls whirled around and found Marion's younger brother, who had slipped in unnoticed in their concentration. I always told you he was a joke-and I found out something about him that I came to tell you about, he added hastily, to justify his presence there, as he saw Marion advance with determination in her eye. J im Nayland's father used to know him and he says he's about forty-five and also that he's practically bald, but he hides the fact by wearing a wig. Hence his be-ootiful black coirly locks. Ha! Ha! And with elfish glee he slipped out, leaving the blow to sink in. I could have stood anything but that, mourned Marion. At least it was romantic to have him faithless, but to have adored a baldheaded man all this time-I am crushed! . As they were tearing up the letters and pictures and throwing them into the wastebasket, Gwendolyn gave a little giggle. I was just thinking, she apologized, how much we worshipped that wig of his. Wait till I tell the girls! VIRGINIA SPEARE. 98 QSM 5LiIIlB Bit N a dark and dreary attic room Armand LeFevre was bending over a work- bench strewn with tools and bits of machinery. A stray beam from the setting sun, venturing into this gloomy retreat, lighted up for a moment the face of the worker. Armand was a bright-appearing young fellow of perhaps eighteen or nineteen years, though one would have judged from his face that he was much older, for it was drawn and tired-looking, as if the owner had passed through much suffering. Alas, this was very true, for the boy had been born with one arm useless and withered, and all through life he had been handicapped by this defect. As the sun slowly sank below the horizon and the room became too dark to see his work, Armand reached up and took down a candle from a near-by shelf. After having lighted it, he resumed his work at the bench, pausing now and then to listen for any sounds of footsteps, for this, you must know, was somewhere in Belgium, a little town under German rule. The conquerors had taken his father prisoner, deported his mother and sister, but had left him unmolested on account of his inflrmity. It had been hard indeed for him not to go to the front with his father, but the latter had said to him on leaving home, Keep your eyes open, my son. Perhaps a chance will come for you to do your little bit for Belgium and her protectors. It was in an attempt to do this that the boy was at this moment busily engaged at his bench. For days and nights he had puzzled over a bit of mecha- nism designed to automatically allow for the wind in the firing of the big guns. At last the invention was nearing completion, only a few details yet remained to be perfected. Feverishly he worked, straining his eyes to see the small screws and washers by the flickering light of the candle. Every moment or so he would stop and listen, as if fearing discovery. He must not be discovered at the last moment! Suddenly a step was heard outside in the hall below. Quickly he swept all his apparatus into a little box, and hid it under his bed. With the same motion he whisked a book out from under his pillow and sat down as if reading. Just as he had gotten settled, someone knocked at the door. Come in, called out Armand. The door opened and a young girl entered, dressed in peasant costume, and carrying a basket under her arm. Ah! then it is you, Marie! Armand said when he saw her. I was afraid that it might be one of those Germans below coming up to tell me to keep quiet. Yes, it is I, replied the girl with a smile as she drew off the napkin which 99 NEWTON' HIGH SCHOOL covered the contents of the basket. It was hard work, but I managed to get them you see, she said, putting the basket on the bed before Armand. They kept very close watch on the storeroom, but I managed to slip in just at noon when the men were at dinner. These are what you wanted, aren't they? she added as she noticed her cousin, for such he was, looking over the contents of the basket. These are just the things, he answered, taking out piece after piece of metal, screws, bolts, springs and such bits of machinery. You did Well to get them, Marie. You might have known that I'd get what I went after, she said with a laugh, remembering how, when they were little children playing together, she generally had her own way. Armand smiled too, and cast an admiring glance at the neat and trim figure sitting on the bed before him. Indeed she did look capable. She was a picture of health-red cheeks, sparkling eyes, and a mass of light brown hair. It was no trouble at all to look at her. Armand rose, went to the door, and listened. Then he returned and sat down beside Marie, who looked up at him, waiting for him to speak. She did not have long to wait. Marie, he began, I am going away soon. The invention is nearly done, and I must get it to France as soon as possible. That means that I must carry it there myself, for I would not trust it to anyone else you know. Marie nodded for him to continue. He went on, I plan to leave tomorrow night at eight. I will go to the front, and get to the French lines. From there it will be easy to get to Paris to the War Office, and give them my invention. Marie remained silent for a moment, and then she looked into her cousin's eyes. It is a brave deed that you are doing, my Armand, was all that she said. And I have something for you to do too, Marie, Armand answered. I want you to take these plans and diagrams and bake them in two loaves of bread, so that I may carry them without being suspected, as I surely would be if the things were discovered. Marie took the roll of papers and the model which were handed to her and concealed them in her basket. You are right, she said. They will be safe in the bread. No one would think of looking for such things in bread. She picked up her basket and started to go out. When she reached the door she turned to Armand and said, I will bring the bread tomorrow night at half past seven. Until then 'au revoir.' A moment later Armand stood up and listened. He heard the sound of Marie's footsteps growing fainter and fainter as she went down the street. As soon 100 1111 EI 1 9 1 7 lN'E1IV'17CJlN'I.A.Pi as all was quiet he turned to his bed, and, throwing himself upon it without having removed his clothing, was soon asleep. In the morning he was awakened by a rough hand shaking him, and a loud gruff voice calling, Here you, Armand! Get up! Quickly Armand got up and washed his hands and face from the water in a little pitcher which stood on his bench. Having completed his simple toilet, he went out to his work, which consisted of carrying water and provisions to the officers and men. Through the whole day he worked, stopping only to eat a morsel of bread for his dinner. No one paid any attention to him except to find fault when he chanced to be a little slow, or when he made a mistake in something. It was an especially hard day, as there was much work to be done, and by nightfall Armand was very tired indeed. And this very night he must leave for France, weary as he was. It was not a cheering prospect, but he never faltered. It was as if divine strength had been granted him to carry out his mission. Perhaps the fate of a nation lay in his hands. At last his work was done. The sun had already set as he went hurrying along the street to his room. When he reached there it was quite dark. He hurried up the stairs and ate a simple supper of corn bread and rice. Then he put the few things that he was to take with him into a sack, and sat down to wait for Marie. Soon he heard her footsteps coming quickly up the stairs. He opened the door, and she appeared breathless before him, her basket in her hand. So you ran to get here the sooner, my dear, said Armand as he took the basket. A Are these loaves all right? Marie asked as Armand took the well- browned bread from the basket. Excellent You are a good cook. I imagine that it will be a long time before you make any more such bread, he added with a laugh. This bread will not be good for the Germans. As he spoke, he put the loaves with his other belongings in the sack. When this was done, he came over to where Marie was sitting. Taking both her hands in his, he said tenderly, Marie, wish me success, wish the cause success. Pray for us, Marie. 4 With tears in her eyes, Marie turned toward him. You are so brave, so kind, so true. I am but a girl. I wish that I could do something as great as you are about to do, she sighed. Hush, hush, Marie, was the tender response. You are brave, you are kind, you are true. Without you I could never have finished the invention. If we succeed, the success is both yours and mine. You almost make me feel as if I were really a great person, she smiled up at him through her tears. 101 NEWTGN HIGH SCHOOL For a few moments the two sat thus in silence, then suddenly Armand said, I must be on my way now. Both stood up, still as if in a dream. Impulsively Marie turned her face up towards Armand's and hurriedly he kissed her, and said, You must leave now, dear, for I must go out quietly and alone. Marie picked up her basket. At the door she turned and whispered, Adieu, and may God guide you safely, and was gone. When he could no longer hear her footsteps on the paving, Armand picked up his sack and slung it over his shoulder. Then, casting one last look at his humble room, he opened the door softly and went out. It was difficult going down the creaky stairway without being heard, but Armand succeeded in reaching the street in safety. Now he drew a free breath, for he knew that for the time being he was out of danger. It was about two miles to the railroad. After walking for about forty min- utes he saw ahead the large watering tank where the supply trains stopped to get their water for the boilers. Armand planned to get on one of these trains without being seen, and ride on it to the front. When he reached the tank, he concealed himself in a clump of bushes near the track. In a few moments he heard the puffing of a heavy freight engine, and soon the train had pulled to a stop directly beside the tank. It was a very dark night, and Armand had little fear of being seen as he stole from his place of concealment. After looking about for a moment, he found what he considered a suitable place to travel on, namely, a brake-beam. Quickly he stowed himself into this uncomfortable seat. But he was none too soon, for the train started at once. At first he was afraid of falling off, but gradually he became accustomed to his position. All night long he traveled thus. At about daybreak the next morning the train pulled to a stop, and Armand realized that he must be at the front. With great care he got out from under the train and had succeeded in going quite a distance up the road before he was challenged. A burly German guard stepped out in front of him and asked him who he was and what he was there for. Armand felt his heart leap to his throat, but he remained outwardly calm as he answered, I just came from the country back there, and I am looking for one of your soldiers who said that he would take care of me if I came here to him. What have you in that sack? was the soldier's next question. Armand handed over the sack for inspection. After having looked it over carefully, the German said, All right. Go anywhere you like. I guess you're harmless. Thankfully'Armand went on his way again. During the entire day he wandered about the trenches, laughing and talking with the soldiers, and in- wardly praying for the night, under cover of which he hoped to get to the French 102 THE 1917 NEWTONIAN lines not more than three hundred yards distant. As night drew near, the firing became more regular, and every few moments a shell would burst somewhere in their vicinity. Once night had fallen, Armand walked through the trenches until he had found a place where he might act unobserved. When he had satisfied himself that no one was about, he threw his sack on the level ground and swung himself up after it. Very, very cautiously he wriggled through the entanglements and crept out upon No-Man's Land. There he fell on his stomach, and thus crawled silently along, dragging his sack after him. Once he thought he heard some men ap- proaching. The voices sounded gruff and like German, so he lay very still, scarcely daring to breathe, for fear that he would betray his presence to them. One of the men passed within ten yards of where he was huddled, and he had almost given up hope of remaining undiscovered when the man hurried off in the other direction. When all was quiet once more, Armand resumed his journey, for he knew that there was no time to be lost. At last he came to some entanglements, and he stood up and walked straight towards the trenches, waving a white handkerchief so that he would not be shot by the French soldiers. Qui va la? came the sharp question from the trench ahead. A friend, was the reply. In a moment he was in the trenches, and a group of men was gathered about asking him questions. Now that he was in the hands of friends, Armand felt much relieved, and when he asked to see the officer in charge he was led to a dugout in one of the rear trenches. There he found a kindly-appearing gray-haired officer, to whom he told his story. But how am I to know that you are telling the truth? asked the man when Armand had finished talking. You can do no harm by believing me, was the answer. I must get to the War Office at once. Will you help me? Something in the boy's face made the soldier pay heed, and, after giving Armand something to eat, he put him on a supply truck which was going to the railroad, from whence it was but a short ride to Paris. It took an hour to get to the railroad, and when he got there Armand was nearly overcome with fatigue. But he managed to keep awake until he was aboard the train. Once he had seated himself in one of the seats, he dropped off into a sleep of sheer exhaustion. The next thing he knew he was being shaken gently by the officer who had been instructed to see that the boy reached the War Office safely. They were in Paris, and it was morning. Armand was hurried out into a waiting auto, and in a few minutes they stopped in front of a large building. This, he was told, was the War Office, this was his goal. With a light heart he walked up the steps and 103 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL into the room marked Artillery Department. Here he found a clerk, and, having told him his errand, Armand was ushered into the presence of General Joffre. For a moment he was overawed at finding himself in the presence of so great a man, but under the kindly smile of the leader of the French army he soon forgot his fears, and told his story to the man. When he had finished he pulled out the loaves from his sack, and, breaking them open, handed the papers and the model to the general. For fully five minutes a dead silence reigned in the office while J offre looked over the papers and examined the model. At last the great general rose to his feet. Going over to where Armand was sitting, he placed his hand on the boy's shoulder and said, My boy, your invention is wonderful. France owes you her thanks. A sob of joy broke forth from the boy's lips as he heard the words. Then General Joffre led him out of the office and took him to his own home, where he was given a meal and a room. For twelve long hours he slept. When he awoke he thought that it had been all a dream until a footman entered and brought him breakfast, and informed him that he was to go to the War Office as soon as he had eaten. A half hour later he was ushered into the general's presence once more. When he had saluted, and had been welcomed by the great soldier, J offre pushed a bell and the door opened. Suddenly Armand felt himself seized from behind, and, looking around, he beheld his father standing before him. Father! How did you come here? was all the boy could say. Then he learned that his father had recently been exchanged and had returned to Paris. When General J offre had heard the lad's story he sent to find whether the father was among the exchanged men. On finding that he was, Joffre sent for him, and now the two were together once more. Ten days later Armand was to be seen wearing the insignia of the Legion of Honor, and well indeed might he be proud of it. Under the greatest of diffi- culties he had accomplished what his father had suggested, he had done his little bit. PAUL P. COGGINS, '17. 104 THE 1917 NEWTONIAN war Inhuman man! curse on thy barb'rous art, To take away from man the breath of life, To rouse in him the love of murd'rous strife, Oh, may repentance seize thy poisoned heart! Have culture and achievements done but this? Can this be human nature, as 'tis said, Gr hath the world gone mad and reason fled? Why can we not these awful thoughts dismiss? The human derelicts war leaves behind, Man's dwellings razed, all nature drenched with blood Far wilder chaos than a world-wide flood- These things are caused by man in fury blind. Oh, man, in Heaven's name wilt thou ne'er cease Till every living creature lieth slain? From Iiendish slaughter wilt thou ne'er refrain? Till strife is o'er we'll plead and pray for peace! HAROLD M. FLINN 105 Zeer ieart AR with Germany had been declared. Marblehead had been changed from a charming summer resort to an arsenal of war. No longer was the light- house on the Neck allowed to shed its feeble beams across the water. A small battery of heavy guns and a few of the anti-aircraft type had been planted on the point. Old Fort Sewell of Spanish War times had been built over and, although to outward appearances the same, it was now a modern hornet's nest. The new million-dollar plant of the Burgess-Curtiss Aeroplane Company in Little Harbor had been taken over by the Government and heavily guarded. However, as yet, no sign of the German ships had been seen. Consequently a few daring and enthusiastic skippers still sailed their small boats in Salem Bay. Among these was Caroline Jonson, an athletic young lady of eighteen, whose father had owned one of the shipyards in the harbor ever since she could re- member. She was never happy away from the Water and her beloved seventeen- footer HScat. The worst northeasters did not hinder her from making her daily sail. Thus it was that, even in war times, the white sail of her little knockabout was seen Hitting here and there about the bay. At last came a time when things were not so peaceful. German ships had been-sighted from various points along the coast, and the warning of a submarine raid had been sent out by the Government. It was absolutely necessary to send some plans from the Burgess plant to the Misery Island station. The entire fleet of submarine chasers had left for Boston, and nothing was left but the flying machines and a few pleasure boats. It did not seem advisable to the Colonel in command at the fort to risk an aircraft for such a short distance 5 and yet it was imperative that the plans should not fall into the hands of the enemy or be lost, as there was no time to duplicate them. Finally, after a short consultation with a couple of his brother officers, the Colonel dispatched an orderly into the town. Before long the man returned, accompanied by Caroline J onson, simply clad in a blue sailor suit and a white middy hat. The Colonel met her and escorted her to his office. It is this way, Miss J onson, he began. We have some important plans which must be delivered at once at the Misery Island station. All of our speed power boats left for Boston this morning and all that we have left are our Dunne machines. We do not think it wise to risk one of these for so short a 106 THE 1917 NEWTONIAN distance. To send a man in one of our 'clogs' would be sure to attract the at- tention of the enemy submarines, which are without a doubt lying about the outer harbor. You have been sailing every day, so that your boat would not attract any particular attention. Unfortunately the wind lies in such a position that it will be almost a dead beat to the island. However this will only help to baffle anyone who might be looking, if you make one or two long hitches towards the Beverly shore before you start out for the island. You can put this packet under your hat and then pin them both together. The plans are heavily weighted, so that in case of any trouble you need only to throw them overboard. Hardly stopping to tell the Colonel how happy and willing she was to be of some service, she made her way to the float where her tender was tied. A few minutes later the familiar seventeen-footer with its lady skipper was beating its way out of the harbor. Never before had Caroline found her boat slow. Never before had she bothered her head about the much-talked-of sub- marine raids. Now her speedy craft seemed to be crawling, and its usual ability to sail close to the wind was gone. It seemed to Caroline that every now and then she saw the flash of a periscope, but upon closer examination it proved to be only the crest of a boisterous wave. At last, after a hard and nerve-racking sail, the Seat shot up into the wind alongside the pier at Misery Island. Caroline jumped out, and, leaving her boat in charge of the guard on the pier, went at once to the officer in command with her little packet of plans. y r As she slacked in sheets and headed for home, Caroline leaned back in the cockpit and began to think. Night after night, since both her brothers had enlisted, she had stayed awake trying to think how she would be able to do her part. Her chance had come at last and she had been able to carry out her orders to the very letter. The plans were now safe in the hands of the oflicer at Misery. She was suddenly awakened from these thoughts by a noise off the port bow. She started to look up, but that move was never finished. The men on shore, who had been watching the little sailboat through the glasses, saw it suddenly rise into the air in a thousand pieces. They realized what had happened--Caroline Jonson had done her part. WILLIAM V. M.

WINIFRED DODGE 108 x Q ffflihzapring 39.igbt's Breaux FOREWORD: Some of the information conferred in our reports is ad- mittedly vague, occasionally ambiguous 5 but Will one not deal leniently with us, when one takes into account the strict censorship which is everywhere prevalent? SPECIAL DISPATCH FROM FRONT AT NEWTON, MAss.: Comparative quiet predominated today in the Eastern War Theater. About ten o'clock a bombing party against the right flank Was repulsed in a most unusual manner. Capt. Garrity of N Company leapt to the parapet, followed closely by Lieutenants Macomber, Hughes, and Systrom, as Well as by non- commissioned officers Henderson, Murphy, Nutting, Spaulding, Turner, Wiley, Rottler, and McDonald 3 there, under the direction of Col. A. W. Dickinson, the men systematically caught and returned the bombs before the latter could explode. The opposition seemed to be concentrated against Capt. Garrity. The latter was game to the core, but after the fray Lieut. Oscar Martin of the medical corps found eight large caliber bullets lodged on the brave Captain's person. The enemy claim a temporary victory, but we believe We can come back firmly. SPECIAL DISPATCH FROM FRONT AT NEWTON, MAss.: Our men met the foe in the last of a series of skirmishes today, and, while all assaults have left us undefeated, not until this last victory could we proclaim our superiority. Capt. La Croix, H Company, has been somewhat of a target during these petty frays, but has proved himself a bulwark of defense during the entire series. No serious destruction has been Wrought on the position he guards. Other men mentioned With honor in the Oflicial reports are Buntin, Eaton fthe latter was disabled near the end of the seriesj, Hughes, and Davidson- all non-commissioned officers, also, as usual, Capt. Carrity. Lieut. Stonemetz, who was impeached early in the fray, likewise received favorable comment. GENERAL DISPATCH FROM NEWTON FRONT: The outlook and general criticisms of the forces about Newton, Mass., are as follows: , Authority believes that, unless a minor war with the German Empire inter- feres, a serious conflict is sure to brew on the heels of these daily engagements. 109 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL In fact, reports indicate that the hour approaches for a most sanguinary strife. With this in mind, Capt. Turner's Company has been specially instructed by Col. A. W. Dickinson as to course of action, and this game bunch expects to repel all comers. The service owes much to its Red Cross branch, members of such ability and experience as the Misses Pierce, Mandell, Kennedy and Stimpson, when under the influence of such men as Attending Officer J. B. Starkweather and his assistants, Dame and Howell, are invaluable to the success of this unit. The Vigilance Committee, with such exponents as Special Of'Hcers E. C. Adams, S. W. Davis, C. S. Thomas and C. D. Meserve, merits all the praise it has received, not only for the discipline maintained, but also for its skillful promotion of learning among the rank and file. Nevertheless one crime did escape notice when some private, with malice aforethought, gave Quartermaster Marshall an old car ticket in place of his mess check, and received a hearty meal straightaway. There was one attempt to rob the dead. Some culprit at- tempted to steal a silk shirt from the person of Corp. J. Lupton 5 but the latter was only asleep, and when he awoke later he was able to recover his property. However, taken as a whole, the inspecting oflicer is obliged to say that the unit is indeed a very proficient one in every respect. IAM WILLIAMSON. 110 Ul1'il'jF1FllZf1TlUVIfl WM 1 f f' ' X I?

The Boys' Debating Club met for the first time early in October, with a mem- bership of more than seventy-live. For a month we held our meetings in the Lecture Hall, every other week, alternating with the girls in the use of the hall. Here we planned to hold debates between the members of the club, pre- paratory to our work for the trials. On November 24 the six debating clubs of Brookline, Newton and Somer- ville held a reception at the Brookline High School. We all spent a very pleasant afternoon. About this time Mr. Epstein was appointed as our coach. We then dis- banded our regular club meetings, to spend the ensuing month in preparation for the trial debates. They were held on the sixteenth of January. Cf the number who entered these six were chosen for the school teams: Clapp, '17, Cole, '17, Emery, '17, Ford, '18, Macomber, '18, Whelden, '17 . The teams spent the next two months in hard work under Mr. Epstein's instruction. Late in February he divided them. The affirmative team was composed of Clapp, Macomber and Whelden, the negative team of Emery, Ford and Cole. Here we wish to thank Mr. Epstein for his great services. He has been a wise and patient coach. Both the Girls' Club and the Boys' Club unite in ex- tending to him our sincere appreciation. The Triangular League debates took place on the evening of March 30. The problem to be debated read as follows: Resolved, that, waiving the constitu- tionality of the question, the United States should adopt a system of old-age pensions modeled upon that of Great Britain. Cur teams lost to both Brookline and Somerville. But they put up a good hard fight, which after all is the only thing that really counts. 113 .

WEsT, '17, Secretary- Treasurer Miss MCGILL, Faculty Advisor Mr. EPSTEIN, Coach E, the Girls' Debating Club, have worked for one purpose this year-to win. We have lost both our debates, but we have won something of far greater value-the support of the school. We assembled early in October, with a membership of more than fifty. Our first meetings were held in the Lecture Hall every other Monday morning. There we planned to spend a part of the year on briefing, a part on the speech proper, and a part on its presentation. In November, however, the school board appointed us a coach, and until January we united with the boys, under his instruction, in learning the elementary principles of debating. We held our trial debates on the nineteenth of January, and out of the possible candidates these six were chosen: Ruth Guppy, '17, Dorothy Hallett,'17, Jean Olmstead, '17, Leslie Perkins, '17, Frances Rimbach, '18, and Wynna Wright, '17, Two weeks before the debates Ruth Guppy succumbed to the epidemic of mumps, which necessitated Mary Switzer, one of the alternates, taking her place. J Excellent material for the teams! We have never heard a more charming nor convincing delivery than that of Dorothy Hallett. She was perhaps the ablest speaker of her team. You can always depend on Leslie Perkins 5 she will never fail you. Her work showed much thought and sincerity. Some day Frances Rimbach is going to make a very able lawyer. She has splendid ability as a speaker. We shall not soon forget Mary Switzer, her never-tiring energy and ever-ready willingness to do her best for her team. It is a rare thing to find the ability to gesture in a girl. Wynna Wright has that ability, which combined to make her a very forceful speaker. The negative team was composed of Miss Rimbach, Miss Hallett and Miss Perkins 5 the affirmative team was composed of Miss Olmstead, Miss Wright and Miss Switzer. We are a member of the Triangular League with Brookline and Somerville. On the evening of March the ninth the debates were held. The problem to be discussed was that of the Japanese in California. Both of our teams lost. We are not beaten yet, however. There is another year coming, and with the knowledge that the school is behind us, backing us up, whether we win or lose, we will try again, and win! , p 115 REVIEW STAFF Back row: Henderson Mr. Richmond Dodge Fawcett Emery Story Woodbridge Tucker Middle row: Cole Miss Olmstead Irwin Miss Carter Front row: Vaughan Miss Rimbach Bliss Perkins VVhelden Bliss Diehl Bliss Wf-llwood 'Uribe Barium N a school as large as our own, with more than nine hundred pupils coming and going, we have need of some common interest. This need is supplied by the Review. Nor has the Review more successfully satisfied this need than during the year of 1917. We have endeavored to interest every girl and boy in the school. To those of a literary bent the short-story pages have proved a never-ending source of enjoyment. T O those who have gone out for athletics the Athletic Department has never been more interesting nor better carried out. To those who have liked a good laugh now and then the Base Hits have never proved more snappy nor better worth watching. Moreover every student in the school has been made to feel that he was necessary to the Review. His support has been Sought. This perhaps has been the secret of our success this year.

On January 26 the German Club held its first meeting in the library. It was an afternoon of games. Each one of us was given a slip of paper with the name of some animal upon it. Then we were re- quested to go to a blackboard and draw that animal as best we might. Ach Himmel! Such queer looking creatures! The dog looked as if he had a tooth- ache, the cat as if she had a cold in her head, and there was one animal we could not identify. Several other games followed, and then we all played Buzz. The second meeting of Der Deutsche Verein was held on February 21 in the Lecture Hall. First Helen Miller played Schubert's Minuet, the most perfect song that ever was written. Afterwards, while the hall was darkened, several pictures of the Rhine and its neighboring cities were cast upon a screen. As each picture appeared, some one of us made a few interesting remarks. And then we all joined in singing Die Lorelei. We wish to thank Miss Owen for her assistance in preparing these meetings. Much of their success has been due to her. Der Deutsche Verein is not, as some have supposed, a club composed only of pro-German enthusiasts. The majority, as one member remarked, are French in their sympathies, but only say so in German, that's all. Indeed, we have spent many pleasant afternoons at the club meetings, and not only that, we have learned to know and like the German language much better.

As Mr. Thomas once said, The English Club represents the intellectual aristocracy of the school. It is an honor to have one's mark in English such that he may belong. The first meeting of the English Club for the year of 1917 was indeed a novel experience. Cn October 27, immediately after school, we took a trip to Concord by automobile. There were eight cars and more than fifty in the party. The first stopping place was at Hawthorne's home, where we were told we might walk about, if we didn't wake the baby! Here Mary Harrington sketched for us briefly the life of Hawthorne. Then we visited Orchard House across the way. Mary Switzer told us about Louisa Alcott, and as we wandered through her home the Little Women atmosphere still seemed to linger. Later we drove to Concord Bridge, and from the bridge we climbed a stone wall and walked across the fields toward the Cld Manse. But, as people are requested not to trespass, we could only view it from a distance. Afterwards, quite unintention- ally, the party broke up, but we who kept together drove to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and later to Emerson's home, where we heard an interesting talk from Richard Cole. It was dusk before we started homeward, but one girl expressed our general sentiments when she said, I wish it were just beginning-our 'novel experience.' On Friday, November 24, the English Club held an open meeting in the Assembly Hall. The Thanksgiving number of Red Letter Days was presented. We submit the following review of the magazine: The front cover, as designed by the well-known artists, Miss Buffum and Miss Wright, was a tableau of a farmer and his turkey. Clark Alvord pictured the part of the farmer and Miss Buffum that of the turkey. Several pages were devoted to the photographs of the contributors. Then followed several original poems and a series of short stories by many of the noted authors. Editor Fawcett read the last installment of Estelle Wellwood's continued story. Bartlett Boyden answered all corres- pondence, and Allen Davidson, with John Barry, filled the ensuing pages with 119 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL advertisements. The back cover was a tableau by Estelle Wellwood. A Very clever magazine, the most popular of the month! After we had 'fread it through we all adjourned to the library, played games, and ate apples and pop corn. The Christmas meeting of the English Club took place in the library on December 15. We all gathered 'round the Christmas tree in the center of the room, and then Mary Harrington told us about Little Hunchback Lea. A very pretty little tableau followed between Katharine Gruener and Virginia Speare. Dorothy Reed read an original poem, The First Nicholas, and then we all went for a trip with Mary Switzer in her good ship, Die Weinachte, across the seas, to visit other countries at Christmas time. Miss Carey spoke to us about the famous Madonnas, and Estelle Wellwood read an original story about how Billy Boy and nelephant found their Christmas. And then, outside in the hall, the waits began to carol-Mary West and Rex Huntley! We all joined in on the last song, f'Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!!' Afterwards the President passed around a clothes basket full of 'fpresentsf' Some of the gifts were quite clever, as no one was supposed to cost more than five cents. Mr. Thomas received five cents in stamps, and we have even heard that one person received a five-cent piece! The last meeting of the English Club was held on February 23. We had an old-fashioned spelling match-or rather three of them. The first was not counted, for we all went down like ninepins before the word elcemosynary. Dorothy Hallett won the second match, and Florence Kincare the third. They spelled against each other and Miss Hallett won. She was presented with a beautiful dictionary containing a rhyming word list at the end. Afterwards pineapple ice-cream cones were passed around. One boy was seen to eat seven! What happy times we have had in the English Club this year!

The Civics Committee assumes responsi- bility for all elections, calls rallies of the pupils together, and generally stimulates school spirit. The Assembly Committee co-operates With the faculty in arrang- ing programs for our Wednesday assemblies, or for any other purpose. The Lunch Room Committee looks out for the general conduct of the lunch room during the recess. The Grounds Committee assumes all responsibility of keeping the grounds in a neat and tidy condition. Until this year the Student Council has been held in rather slight esteem. Indeed one person went so far as to say that it was nothing more than a name. But it has so ably looked out for the interests of the school along its special lines, it has so successfully coped with Whatever problems with which it has had to deal, that We all feel it has certainly proved itself much more than a name this year. 123 SENIOR PLAY CAST Back row: Brimblecorn Coggins Miss Dodge CCoachJ Scott Miss Carey CCoachJ Clapp Third row: Cutter Simpson Nash Kilton Fawcett Ranletit Second row: Cole Miss Howland Miss Perkins Miss Harrington Miss Clapp Miss Lovell First row: Doherty Whelden Uribe English Glluh ilslap AGNUM opus!

Warren Brimblecom An oflicial Canadian constable Inspector MALCOLM STEELE Head of English Secret Service We Wish to thank both Miss Carey and Miss Dodge for their services. Not even We, the cast, can realize how much time and patience it takes to coach a play. Number 313 was a mystery, a story of the German Secret Service. It was quite unlike any other play ever presented at the High School, but from the time the curtain Went up on the first scene in the German Secret Service headquarters to the last scene, when we learned Who Number 31.3 Was, We Were all unanimous in our applause that it Was the most interesting and exciting amateur performance we had ever heard. As the constable said, It certainly did beat Tim Riley's drum all holler. 126 312. Zia. 9. Grcbestra USIC is a part of our lives. Through it that dream of ours which we call happiness, and which we have hitherto sought in vain, becomes a reality. Through it we realize those truths which we may not understand, for it is not given us to know any other way. No one of us should allow this realization to escape him. There are a few among us who could perform music well. These should receive instruction. There are many more among us who are capable only of loving music and of understanding it. These should be given the opportunity to develop this capacity. And, as Mr. Walton once said, no instrument can be found more effective to this end than a school orchestra. Already it has become an important factor in our school life. The N.H.S. orchestra this year was composed as follows: First Violin: Bartlett Boyden, Allen Symonds, Winthrop Whitaker Second Violin: Aldith Barrett Flute: Natalie True First Cornet: Ralph Billings Second Cornet: Natalie Ham 'Celloz Donald Curry, Richard Loring, Jr. Piano: Mildred Colby All winter long the orchestra has been practicing under Mr. Walton's able instruction. On the night of the Senior play it gave a very beautiful concert, which added greatly to the pleasure of that evening. 127 Qutograpbs VC K gf K .iss e r,r J ,.I, r . - ww I, 11. f .-A I . , Q Q X 'ijt' '15, 5, f! . c.g 'iiE K1 l I jfv. if IAF! .

WINIFRED DODGE- She's an inscrutable conglomeration of gray matter, wit and foolishness. BETTY BUFFUM- She's an accomplice of the Evil One. Query: Why didn't Adam and Eve gamble? Ans.: Because they lost their par-a-dise! 133 Qcbool Gossip We heard a rumor the other day - That Gerald Henderson was awfully cute when he was a baby. Do you suppose it's true? That John Clapp isn't half so bright as he thinks he is. Wonder if it can be so. That Betty Buffum's father makes eyeglasses. Does that necessarily mean that Betty makes eyes? That Clark Macomber ought to have been a girl. Why? Because he'd make such a wonderful ilirt. How's that? Well, Clark can't stand girls, so, if he were a girl, he would always be running after the boys. That Winifred Dodge doesn't study any more than the rest of us. Why aren't we all valedictorians? That the lower regions of this building encourage deception. Query: If yellow mush is called chicken, why shouldn't we call the movies a headache? That the class of 1917 will be missed by more people than any other class that ever graduated. Upon inquiring into this flattering rumor we found that there are more people graduating than ever before. Disillusionment! 134 THE 1917 NEWTONIAN AS OTHERS SEE US Perhaps you did not know that every person who enters this High School brings with him from Grammar School a recommendation or, in certain rare cases, a warning. Now that the class of 1917, so full of interesting and dis- tinguished people, is about to pass on it is rather interesting to look back and see how correctly or incorrectly the teachers of our childhood summed us up. Here are some summaries picked at random:- GERALD HENDERsoN--Gerald will be the big man of his class. Everyone will look up to him. Even the faculty itself will sometimes be forced to admit that he is above them. Don't let his head become swelled! ESTELLE WELLWOOD-A girl of retiring nature, but with a hidden ability that it is well worth your trouble to bring to light. CAROLINE FIsHER-It is with great regret that we send this child into your worldly and demoralizing school. She is as innocent and trusting as a baby, and we entreat you to see that no harm befalls our Caroline. LESLIE PERKINSQYOU must not be surprised at anything that this girl does, but she has a good heart, nevertheless, and must be looked upon with your indulgence. ROBERT AUBIN'W6 have ever found Robert to be of an industrious and never- tiring nature. He will do you credit. H VIRGINIA SPEARE-This girl is ever inclined to a good time, but she is quite harmless and one who will be well liked by her classmates. MARY HARRINGTON-Mary is small in size, but in no other way. She will not put herself forward, but cannot help accomplishing things in her quiet way. LUTHER PRIEsToN-You will never hear from this boy. Do not bother to look him up. A BARTLETT BOYDEN-Only one word can be used in describing this boy-bright! JOHN CLAPP-Like all geniuses John is erratic, and his original ideas may not be appreciated by you. We feel sure, however, that the world will hear from him sooner or later. DoRoTHY HALLETT-This girl is small and unobtrusive, but we advise you to look her up. Her spelling ability is remarkable. We have never known her to misspell a word during her eight years' stay with us. BETTY BUEEUM-No word can be applied to Betty but incorrigible. She is utterly beyond our power of comprehension. We know no more about her now than we did eight years ago when she came to us, a curly-haired child of six. 135 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL TO THE FRESHMEN DELIVERED IN ALL EARNESTNESS FROM ONEs WHO KNOW! 1. Don't be too high and lofty next year to the incoming class. It dOesn't pay, because, on the whole, Freshmen are more popular than Sophomores. 2. Don't go into Mr. Meserve's classes half prepared unless you are per- fectly willing to be the laughing stock of the room. . 3. Adore the Seniors. They have lots of power and it flatters them to be adored. 4. DOn't be blase about subscribing to the Review and N ewtonian. If the managers are any good, you'll Wish you hadn't. A 5. Don't break a rule or act like a fool before any big event. Curb your impatience and Wait until the day after. It pays in the long run. 6. In short, follow the example of the Class of 1917 in all respects, and yOu'll make your way in the World with very little difliculty. IT ALL DEPENDS UPON THE POINT OF VIEW Henry Garrity's idea of heaven: To be captain of every team that has a captain. Mabel Stimpson's idea of heaven: To live in a dance hall. Robert Aubin's idea of hell: To flunk a subject. Kiddle Fisher's idea of hell: To be a grind. WANTED: A Reliable Life Insurance. THE HFOLLIESH EDITOR. Slang is classic.

The jars were here, the jars were there, The jars were all around 5 But each one looked like all the rest- Hark! listen! what's that sound? The burglar wards his sister off, For fear that she might blab, Then sticks the spoon into a jar And takes a good big dab. Water, water! Quick! he cries, A reservoir to drink!
