Twenty-nine Thirty Tl-IE Senior Witticisms Williston: l'm bothered with a queer pain. When I bend forward, stretch out my arms and make a semi-circular movement with them, a sharp sting comes in my left shoulder. Springer: But, why make such motions? Williston: Well, if you know any other way for a man to get on his over- coat, I wish you'd let me know. Evans: A telegram just arrived for you. Eames: Read it aloud to me. Evans: Left Chicago Monday, stop, Kansas, Tuesday, stop, Denver Friday, stop. Eames: lin peeved tonel Will somebody let him alone until he reads that message? Walker: The more l read the less I know. Wallauer: You surely are well read. Now, said the professor, pass all your papers to the end of the row: have a carbon sheet under each one, and I can correct all the mistakes at once. Then there was the absent-minded professor who ate the roll for breakfast and had names on the tip of his tongue for the rest of the day. He looked her over indifferently, she took no notice of him. With a faint smile on his face, he grabbed her slender waist and drew her to him. Still she did not respond. He set his jaw and struck her! She remained passive. Again he struck her, again she ignored him. He became enraged-his face was Iivid-muttering terrible oaths, he struck her again, heedless of her frailty. At last her will power was gone. She sputtered suddenly and burst into flame, for he was a man and she-a match. Mr. Welker: Are you left-handed? Yes, Sir. Mr. Welker: I thought so, you didn't do anything right. 9 SPI-IINX ' Bob Stegmeier has a very good reason for wanting to go to Penn State College. He claims it will relieve him of a big load if he doesn't have to learn the school song, which he already knows. Heard from Arculin to Kershner: May I borrow my pencil, please? Miss Craeff: What would you do if 35C were returned to you through the pay station ot the telephone company? DeFrehn: Call seven people in order to give the company their money back. Curvey: Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Bachman: Little Red Riding Hood. Ranz: WhewI am I tired. I had to sit up all night taking care of the copy my staff handed in. Surdock: I don't see why. You didn't use any of it. Ranz: I know, but it was so terrible that I had to rewrite every bit of it before I could even throw it into the wastebasketf' Womer: And then out leaped a maddened leopard. I raised my rifle and shot him on the spot! Shilkoz Which spot! Schwartz: Why did you call that fellow Horo? I tho't his name was Horowitz. Chernesky: It was, but he lived in a tough neighborhood and they scared the 'wits' out ot him. . .11 ' Then there was the Scotch sea captain, who wouIdn't tire a distress signal rocket when his ship was sinking because it wasn't the Fourth of july!

My address now is Senior High School, where l moved to last year from junior High. There are two hundred and twenty-five members of me, but of course, like most people I gain sometimes and lose other times. I suppose you think a class has no feeling. Well, let me tell you I have plenty of it. I felt mighty proud when I saw so many of my boys on the foot- ball squad. Why, one of them made a letter! And there were quite a few ot my boys on the junior Varsity Basketball too. Then, one of my girls made me feel pretty good when she made Oratory and placed in the lnterscholastic Contest of the region. Several of my pupils were on the News Staff and: the Sphinx Staff, and helped those publications quite a bit. Yes, I guess that's pretty good for my first year up here. l'II have to end mygautobiography now, because I haven't anything else to add.

O O ' Only 3 people who ever graduated from Tamaqua High became coaches Ciick Tracy, Moony Welker and Pinky Purnell. The latter two of these were coached by the first. I O ' A graduate of Tamaqua High School, Harold Hartman, drew the plans for the present High School building. O I ' The class of i927 was the first to publish the size Sphinx which is published today. O O ' ln the year i923 only one basketball game was won. O I ' In i887 the first Commencement exercises were held in the North Ward building,- orations were given by members of the class and an invitation was extended to the parents, school directors and the ministers of town. O O ' ln one thing, at least, Tamaqua has not changed. Debates in the past used to be held in the same place they are now-Main Room, junior High. The debating team of l9l2 which consisted of Bull Newton, Paul Wag- ner, and Dr. Enterline, used to debate Friday afternoons. O O ' The floor of the gymnasium used to be cement. Sanky Griffiths, while exhibiting his hurdling powers to the janitor Mr. Sembach, fell and broke his wrist. Some time later, I. Burns persuaded the School Board to change it to wood. This and one subsequent to it are the only wood floors ever put in that gymnasium. O O ' The High School on Broad Street was built in l895. It then consisted of nine rooms. The main room- had a seating capacity of lOO. Later, in l909, the wings were added, making the High School as it is now. I I ' Commencement exercises used to be held in the Main Room. I O ' ln l908 the faculty of the High School consisted of three teachers. O O ' In l9l3 the graduation class numbered l3. Four teachers and 90 pupils then composed the Senior High School. SPHINX Interesting Facts ' The school colors in 1919 were black and yellow, in 1920 they were gray and white, in 1921 and 1922 they were black and yellowg and in 192.3 they were changed to the present blue and white. I I ' Mr. Sembach, janitor of junior High, is now in his 23d year of service in that building. O I ' Prof. Kelly was the first commercial teacher employed in Tamaqua High School. I I ' The bleachers of the junior High have a seating capacity of 75. I O ' Eight showers have taken the place of the old boiler room in the junior High School.

All the opening day ceremonies were in evidence with the Band and Bugle Corps parading on the field and mingling their color with the IOOO spectators. Schuylkill Haven produced a scrappy eleven which got the edge on the Tamaqua aggregation by ringing up the first touchdown and topping it off with the extra point. The first session was scoreless and playing was rather dull except for one 70 yard run by Dresher which was called back because he had stepped out of bounds in midfield. The Havenites then scored their only points in the second quarter when they blocked a Tamaqua punt on the latter's 25-yard line. After two line plays, a forward pass crossed the goal. Another forward produced the extra point, Then, after receiving the ball and running it to the 45-yard line, Dresher tore loose and scorched down the field to make the Raider's first score. The kick, a placement by Cutcavage, was wide. The Raiders were ready for another score after a 35-yard run by Cutcavage, when the whistle blew for half, with the Havenites one point ahead. ln the third period, after hard line bucking, Cutcavage ran 8 yards for the second score. The next tally came in the beginning of the last quarter when Gigli took the ball in midfield and ran 45 yards to place the oval over the scoring ribbon. Neither side was able to do much for the rest of the game although Schuyl- kill Haven came dangerously close to scoring on a forward pass. Sixty-three Sixty-four Tl-lE193l September 30 Maihanoy City 0 - Tamaqua I3 at Mahanoy City ' Continuing the winning streak which started with the opening of the season, the pigskin bearers of Tamaqua won their third consecutive game by defeating their traditional rival, Mahanoy City, on Mahanoy's East End field. The maroon and black sent a fine looking team on the field which made the Tamaqua boys fight for the points they got, although the city lads only made two or three runs which really netted any considerable yardage or scared the Tamaqua fans. The touchdowns were made after long field runs had brought the ball close enough to the line for the blue and white machine to carry out their right end run which is saved for such occasions and which rarely fails to carry the oval over the goal line. The kick for extra point was successful only once-the first time in the season. October 7 Berwick Z - Tamaqua 6 at Tamaqua ' ln the hardest fought game in the history of Tamaqua football, the Raid- ers triumphed over Berwick, the powerful club from the Northern section. Five times with their backs to the goal posts and their feet on the goal line, the Blue and White boys dug in and held against repeated assaults. Then expert punting by the Raider's versatile quarterback sent the ball back and out of danger. Forward passes seemed to be Tamaqua's Waterloo, the Northerners making 20 and 30 yard gains time and again with their devas- tating aerial attack. Tamaqua scored her sole touchdown after some mass plays and trick re- verses. The try for extra point met with failure. Berwick's two points were given to them by Dresher, who pulled a fine piece of strategic football. With a minute and a half to play, Tamaqua had the ball on her own one-foot line. Fearing a block, he voluntarily grounded the ball behind the line for a safety, giving the Berwick team 2 points but putting the ball out on the 20-yard line and in safety for the rest of the game. October I4 Coaldale 26 - Tamaqua 0 at Coaldale ' Tamaqua trounced by forward passes'-'-an apt caption for the crush- ing defeat which the Raiders suffered at the hands of their nearest and hard- est rival-COALDALE. The black and orange team received the ball from kickoff and ran it to the center of the field. After a few trial plays, the Coaldale quarterback, sensing a weakness in the Tams' line, opened up with that surprise, aerial attack which completely demoralized the blue and white line and made pos- sible the stunning victory of the valley team.

The Tamaqua ball toters were unable to get started. Their plays were blocked and themselves stopped almost before the ball reached their hands. Their defense was unable to cope with the disconcerting series of ground and aerial plays, hurled at them by the Coaldale eleven. October 21 Minersville I2 - Tamaqua 'Z at Tamaqua ' Following in the footsteps of last year's team, the Raiders again entered a slump after the Coaldale game, and went down in defeat before a team which should only have provided good practice had the boys been in trimg consequently their first conference game was lost. Tamaqua received the ball, and after a hard tussle gained a first down. The Minersville line then began to tighten and the Tams were forced to kick. After a preliminary duel, Minersville marched down the field to score the only touchdown of the game. Try for extra point failed. Again the boys in blue received the ball, and reviving some of the old snap pushed up the field into scoring territory. Here Cutcavage took the pigskin and raced over the line, only to be called back to the thirty-yard stripe, where he had stepped out of bounds. Once more the Miners' line closed in and they received the ball on downs. However, when they tried to punt, a bad pass from center caused a fumble and the blue men pulled clown the receiving back to score a safety and ring up their only points of the game. October Z8 Mount Carmel 0 - Tamaqua 34 at Tamaqua ' Snapping back into championship form, the Raiders overwhelmed the Mount Carmel aggregation by the biggest margin of the season. The Tams started to play at the very beginning of the game and after the first few minutes of play, Cutcavage broke loose on his own territory and ran with two players dogging his heels, for 52 yards to make the first touch- down. Dresher completed the play by making a successful kick for extra point. ln the last half the boys in blue went wild, Cutcavage ran 60 yards to rack up another 6 pointer. The kick was again successful. Dresher made two more touchdowns on short end runs, kicking successfully on one and com- pleting the other by a trick pass-Sweeney to Cutcavage. Then Gigli-one of the Tams reserve backfield men smashed through and made a short dash for another 6 pointer. The Carmelites probably had heard of Tamaqua's weakness in forward pass defense and tried repeatedly to gain ground by an aerial attack but the attempts met with abrupt failure, every pass being either blocked or inter- cepted. SPHINX .. S xry seven Sixty-eight Tl-IE 9 November 4 Pottsville 0 - Tamaqua I3 at Pottsville ' The Tamaqua club met the Red eleven on the Pottsville High School fielci and defeated them in a gamely contested battle. The Raiders scored in the first quarter when Cutcavage intercepted a Pottsville pass and raced 45 yards for a touchdown, demonstrating the Blue boys new found prowess in putting the damper on aerial attack. The kick was successfully made by Dresher. The second and third periods, scoreless, were marked with steady battling by both teams with little result. ln the last quarter, just to show the County-seaters that Tamaqua feared not the big red wolf, the Raiders made a long gain, 25 yards, on a pass- Dresher to Cutcavage. After seven plays, all netting small yardage, Sweeney carried the oval across the line to bring another 6 pointer to the Tamaqua score. Pottsville's attempts at forward passing met with dismal failure under the watchfulness of the Tamaqua men. While they were in a position to score several times, the Red men met a stone wall at the blue line and also fumbled several times at the crucial moment, thus spoiling their chances. November II Coal Township 0 - Tamaqua I8 at Tamaqua ' Playing the first half of the game in mud and the latter half on freezing ground which was rapidly becoming hard and icy, the Raiders won their fifth conference tilt by sinking the Coal Township aggregation to the tune of 18-O. The field was extremely wet during the first half of the game and neither team was able to score, although several valiant attempts were made despite the insecure footing. In the second period, after some hard line boring and short end runs, Dresher toted the pigskin for thirty yards for the first touchdown. Again, after taking the ball from the coal-men, the blue line wormed their way up the field to the five-yard line, where Cutcavage forged through torvthe second six-pointer. The last touchdown came in the final period, when the Township men tried a few forward passes on the Tams, who had become phenomenally adept in blocking and intercepting the ball in aerial attack, with the result that Gigli intercepted a pass in the Miners' territory and in the next play ran the ball over. All attempts at extra points failed although Dresher did extraordinarily well at punting three times, kicking the ball out of bounds between Town- ship's two five-yard lines. SPl-IINX November I8 Summit Hill 0 - Tamaqua 'I4 at Summit Hill ' Tamaqua met the Summit Hill ball toters on the mountain field cleared of snow but still coated with ice. The Raiders showed their superiority early in the game by wading right through the opposing line. ln the first period a long run by Cutcavage was followed by a successful pass-Dresher to Cutkey and the ball lay on the Hillmen's 3-yard line. Three line bucks pushed it over for the first 6 points -polished off by a successful kick for extra point by Dresher. The second quarter again showed the Tams good playing but they were unable to score although the ball lay far in enemy territory when the whistle blew for half. In the third quarter Tamaqua made a determined effort to score but with- out success although a long pass--Dresher to Sweeney and several line bucks with Donahue pushing the pigskin, set the oval in the scoring sector. After the teams reversed for the last quarter, the Tams tried passes which failed only because of the cold and numb hands of the receivers. Then Cutcavage ran the ball to the 3-yard line to be called back for offside. Dresher quickly recovered the territory-being pulled down on the 5-yard stripe and after two plays pushed the ball over. The kick again succeeded- final Score, l4-O. November 30 Shenandoah 0 - Tamaqua 0 at Shenandoah ' Turkey day dawned bright and clear, an ideal day, with just that bracing atmosphere which fills everyone with the joy of life. After the turkey feast, cars could be seen leaving from all parts of town-cars decorated with blue and white ribbons, and filled with uniformed and bedecked fans-all head- ing one way to join the procession and witness the classic of Tamaqua sports -her Thanksgiving battle with Shenandoah. Shenandoah won the toss and chose to fight with the wind at their backs. Both teams were kept fighting to hold the ball-the Shenandoah boys as- sisted by the wind which swept their punts on for irretrievable distances of seventy and eighty yards, the Raiders handicapped by the same wind making punting almost useless. The second period also scoreless, was distinguished by the nearest ap- proach to a touchdown of the entire game when the Tams were in posses- sion of the ball on Shenandoah's twelve-yard line. After the half, the wind had abated somewhat and playing was more even, the Shenandoah boys and the Raiders having the ball in scoring territory for some time. However, valiant efforts failed to force the pigskin over the line and the combat ended a scoreless tie. And once again the team and fans wended their way homeward without defeating the Shenandoah eleven but with the huge satisfaction of know- ing that Shenandoah had not beaten them.

Hoke ' The Raiders started out the season with a defeat at the hands of an easy foe-Blythe. The defeat seemed ominous and the season certainly proved the omen. The team played valiantly throughout the season and en- joyed a good following even at the out-of-town games. But a hoodoo seemed fastened to their trail, and last minute attacks by their opponents stole al- most every chance for victory. Whatever the season lacked by way of vic- tories, however, was made up in hotly contested games which afforded breath-taking thrills for the loyal fans.

S. Music Emaus High School 1928 Ithaca College 1931 Supervisor of Music Tamaqua Public Schools 1931-34 Eighty-two l Operetta ' Betty Lou , a three-act comic operetta, was presented March 7, in the Majestic Theatre. The operetta, which wove a delightful story of mystery and romance, had to do with some valuable jewels which were hidden in a secret drawer. lt also described the attempts of a shy young man to learn from a little girl how to propose to a young lady with whose picture he has fallen in love, only to find that the little girl is his dream girl in disguise. The entire cast took their parts well, and were ably supported by the chorus and the High School orchestra, and reflected creditably on the ability of their leader, Mr. Kemmerer. As an added attraction this year, a special danc- ing corps of eight girls, coached by Miss Montgomery, was featured, and by their graceful execution of various dance steps did much to enhance the charm of the play. The cast was as follows: Tl-lE193 l SPl-HN? Betty Lou, herself Reading from left to right: First Row: V. Dombrosky, B. Gleim, E. Purcell, B. West, B Steinert, Mr. Kemmerer, H. Walker, L. Kraft, M.

Ninety Debating ' On the evening of November l6, I933, the tryout for debaters was held in junior High School. Much interest was expressed by representatives from each of the three classes of Senior High. The teams were formed a little later with the following lineup: Affirmative Sara Steigerwalt, '34, lst speaker joseph Malakusky, '34, Zd speaker Michael Powell, '35, Alternate Negative Barbara Lenker, '35, lst Speaker Norman Ranz, '34, 2d Speaker john Chares, '35, Alternate joseph Malakusky and Norman Ranz were chosen captains of their re- spective teams. ln December work was begun on the question: Resolved, That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British System of Radio Control and Operation , this being the question of the Pennsylvania Forensic League of which Tamaqua Senior High is a member, SPl-IINX Although the Tamaqua debaters did not compete in the State finals nor win the county championship, they completed a very successful season. They won every debate in C-roup A and lost only one judge of eighteen, which is quite unusual when one considers that each debater was without debating experience. The first dual debate was with Mahanoy City on March l. The others were with Mahanoy Township, March 6, and with Shenandoah, March 15. All decisions were unanimous for Tamaqua except the loss of one judge at Mahanoy City. By our winning in Group A, Tamaqua became eligible to compete with Cressona, winner in Group C. Our negative won on the home floor, while our affirmative lost on the Cressona floor, thereby defeating Tamaqua bv three points and ending debating for this season. During the first three dual debates three judges were used inieach case: but during the elimination with Cressona there was only one judge, who made constructive criticisms after his decision was rendered. Nowhere in our debating experience do the attending audiences con- tinue to be so large nor so attentive as in Tamaqua. lt was very stimulating to see a fine attendance of adults who seem to believe that the forensic art should be encouraged among the young as athletics are. The teams were the guests of the Rotary Club, May l7, at which time they presented a burlesque debate on the question, Resolved, That it is better to be a little frog in a big pond than to be a big frog in a little pond. Much credit and praise are due to Miss Salama Steigerwalt who coached the teams. Ninety-one Ninety-two MICHAEL POWELL GLORIA MILLER Extempore Speaking Contest ' In the Extempore Speaking Contest at Minersville, Michael Powell, rep- resenting Tamaqua High, won first place which entitled him to compete in the county finals at Pottsville. Chester Dick, of Mahanoy City won that championship contest. The subject discussed was The Peace Movement . Tamaqua's contestant was coached by Mr. Stine. Ora tory ' Gloria Miller, Sophomore, coached by Miss Steigerwalt, represented Ta- maqua High in the Schuylkill County Oratorical Contest at Mahanoy City on March 8, where she won the right to compete in the County finals one week later. Dorothy Yeakel of Mahanoy City was awarded the county champion- ship title. For Youth was the title of Gloria Miller's oration, which, in a master- ful fashion, extoled peace and pleaded that it might rule the earth for the benefit of youth. Tl-lE193l Ninety-four Tl-lE1931l Senior Class Play ' On May lO, l934, the annual senior class play was presented before a capacity house in the Majestic Theater.

One Hundred and Five One Hundred and Six 'A' STUDEN Tl-IE1934 BET-TOCQETHER PARTY PREPARATIGN 1-1 'Ei 31 Tl-IE FCREWORD ' The lvlacbethian is a journal prepared by a group of Seniors reporting and publishing the news of the era during which the events in Shakes- peare's Macbeth were supposed to have taken place, in a manner such as a modern newspaper would employ today. The events described really oc- curred over a period of several months but are combined by the young col- umnists into one compact paper bearing a resemblance to one of our mod ern dailies. ' Owing to insufficient light, the staff picture does not appear very clearly but the utilization of a microscope may or may not reveal the mem- bers of the staff to a better advantage. One Hundred and Eight SPI-IINX THE MACBETHIAN Weather-Fair ANY DAY, A.D. Wea ther-Foul King of Denmark Murdered in Sleep!! Meets Death at Hands of 'Preacher- ous Grooms while Visiting Castle oi' Gcncrul Macbeth Denmark today awoke with loud and indignant cries of Murder . treachery ringing in her ears. King Duncan, its beloved sovereign, met a foul and unnatural death at the hands of two traitorous grooms early this morning, sometime be- tween the hours of three and five o'clock. Political and court circles, yes- terday rejoicing at the expulsion of the invading Norwegians, today seethe with the details of the hor- rible crime. King Duncan was paying a visit of congratulation to his victorious general-Macbeth--at the latter's castle last night. In high spirits over the recent victory, he had re- tired early, instructing his courti- ers, Lennox and Macduff to rouse him at five. These two gentlemen. on carrying out what proved to be their monarch's last command. found King Duncan dead-pierced through the heart by the daggers of the drunken grooms, who were lying with the bloody evidence of their crime on the floor beside them. Lennox and Macduff hastily summoned General Macbeth, who. on seeing the gruesome spectacle of his sovereign murdered, and bloody daggers of the grooms lying at their sides. in a tit of anger slew them both. A shadow of suspicion was later cast on the king's sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, who on hearing of their father's death, fled in haste. It is rumored that the grooms were bribed by the newly appointed suc- cessor Malcolm, who wished to as- sume as soon as possible the power so recently conferred upon him by his father. Epitaph to Macbeth Just a great politician XYhose misdirected ambition Brought to a quick close- His earthly mission. Queen Stricken With Strange Malady Reports from Royal Physician Show Queen to be Ailllctcd lVith Strange Mental Disease Uawdor, Scotland.-A special dispatch from the royal castle to- day revealed that Queen Macbeth is suffering from a. strange nervous ailment, brought on by the anxiety and tension surrounding the royal residence. The queen has been slightly neurasthenic ever since the great shock she received when the late King Duncan was cruelly murdered while visiting her and her husband, the present king. It is believed that that shock, aug- mented by worry over recent troubles, has succeeded in tempor- arily unbalancing the queen's mind. It is evident that the death of Dun- can was a much greater shock than was previously supposed, for in her unconscious ramblings the queen makes various allusions to the murdered king and the tragic events surrounding his death, Family of Fugitive MacDuff Slain Vnknown Murdercrs Enter Castle During Night-Kill Beautiful Lady and Babes Fife. Scotland.-Taking advan- tage of the absence of the Lord protector of the household, un- known murderers yesterday en- tered the castle of the Thane of Fife and brutally assassinated Lady Macduff and her three chil- dren. The motive for the crimes is un- certain. No valuables were miss- ing. thereby excluding the motive of robbery. It is believed that dis- satisfied tenants holding a grudge against Lord Macduff perpetrated the deed in revenge for imagined wrongs. Macduff, who for some unknown reason left yesterday for England, was notified today by special mes- senger. It is rumored that Macduff is in England to solicit help from I-Edward the Confessor to tight the present crime wave. Old Regime Falls English Overcome Courageous Scots Under Macbeth at Dunsinnne Today saw the downfall of Marbe-th's rule in Scotland when the battle of Dunsinane Hill re- sulted in an overwhelming victory for the opposing forces under Siward. -Malcolm and Macduff, The direct attack was made on the kings strongly fortified castle which was unable to resist the furious ayault of the opponents. Hard luck was the t5'rant's share throughout the entire battle. Scores of soldiers deserted the ranks and joined the other side, whose number and power they greatly increased. Superb strategy on the part of the English commanders was a. prime factor in their final success. Previous to the arrival at Dunsi- nane each soldier had been re- quired to hew down a bough and carry it as a camafiouge. The pur- pose of this was to shadow their approach and make their numbers difficult to determine. The battle itself was short but furious with the greater numbers and tighting spirits of the English inevitably overwhelming the weak- ened Scottish defense. This victory in which Macbeth himself was killed means the es- tablishment of a new regime and a new deal under the new king Malcolm, son of the late King Dun- can. Earth Tremors Felt Cawdor, Scotland.-People last night were frightened by the slight earth tremors which started late at night and continued well into morning. It is the first occurrence of its kind in this vicinity, and some of the older residents state that they cannot remember so stormy and unsettled a night as last night. Ross, Nobleman of Scotland, vis- ited Lady Macduff at her home in Fife. One Hundred and Nine Lennox Urges World Peace XVar. the curse of humanity will he the ultimate graveyard of the race unless this horrible practice of settling disputes ceases. In this great war through which we have just passed. Scotland was to1'tunate in having emerged vic- torious under the leadership of our illustrious Generals Macbeth and Banquo. but was she really fortu- nate? Fortunate indeed!-with six hundred of her sons, the cream of St-otland's young manhood lying in bloody repose on the gory field of battle with six hundred mothers and wives and fathers, brothers, sisters and children crushed and grieving, bereft of their loved ones, the sup- port and protection of their fam- ilies swept away in one mighty blast of this terrible cataclysm of modern war. XVar formerly was an affair of honor, but with the modern weapons this super-conflict has be- come a horrible slaughter taking a terrific toll of lives. The mace, the battle axe, the long spears and modern bows have made warfare a menace to the perpetuity of the race. Many plans have been evolved for the prevention of war. One of the best has been advocated by the honorable Sir Lennox, chief of our war staff. His plan constitutes the formation of an association of un- allied countries which will meet at some convenient place and make rules to prevent warfare and settle disputes between nations by friend- ly procedure. The plan has been accepted by King Edward. and by France and XVales. His Majesty King Duncan is seriously considering entering this compact, to help erase the curse of war from the face of the earth. General Banquo Brutally Murdered Mntilatcd Remains Found Early TOCIIIQ' An air of mystery and unrest hung over the castle halls today as a result of the murder of Banquo, a renowned nobleman of the court, and the attempt on the life of his son Fleance between seven and eight last night. l!anquo's badly mutilated body One Hundred and Ten was found by a servant in a ditch HPHI' il Krovc of trees not far from the castle walls. Tracks behind the bushes indi- cated that more than one murderer took part in the drama. Signs of struggle in the vicinity showed that death was not instantaneous, Fleance who was known to have been with his father is believed to have escaped the assassins plot: at any rate no signs of his body were found. No clues leading to the identity of the murderers could be found: consequently the matter is still un- solved and has been labeled as an- other of those dealt from the hand ot' some mysterious force. Strong feeling and outraged niurmurings have arisen and de- mands for justice well up as a re- sult of the series of brutal murders and unprecedented deeds only too common at the present time. Tyrant's Rule Ended!! Scotland Finally l-'rced from Yoke ot' TQ'l1lllllil'ill Reign oi' Macbeth The oppressive and tyrannical rule of the murderous Macbeth was fortunately ended today when he was vanquished in a death-duel with his arch-foe the brave Mac- duff. As a dramatic side-light of the battle of BirnamiVVood came this duel between Macduff and Mac- beth, Macduff had started out with the avowed purpose of seeking out and slaying Macbeth. On the battle field he came suddenly face to face with the tyrant. A duel ensued in which the tyrant was slain. Cutting off the dead ruler's head, Macduff returned to his rejoicing troops. In a subsequent statement to the press he said that Macbeth had tried to intimidate him with a cock-and-bull story about immu- nity from death at mortal hands. Macduff also said that Macbeth blanched when he was told by Macduff of the peculiar circum- stances surrounding his birth. The tyrant is dead! Long live the king! Sir Mat-duff spent the weekend visiting his exiled friend, Malcolm. who is now living in England. Did you ever see a wood walk- ing? XVell. Macbeth did!

Glorious times with our teachers true, While our studies we'd never shirk. Oh, here's to the thoughts of our Blue and White, Which we'll cherish and hold to the end. Oh Tamaqua, our memories will never die, You will always be our best friend. We sing farewell to thee, '34, To the class that we'll never forget. Dear Alma Mater, forevermore, These fond days we will ne'er regret. We patiently waited for this event, Now it's here and the curtain descends, On the boys and the girls of our Senior Class, As we grudgingly lay down our pens. One Hundred and Forty-three AUTCGRAPHS
