THE SEARCHLIGHT Page 3 History of Class of 1-923 By Merriem Robinson '23 Dear Gentle Reader: When you put on your specks to peruse this history, I ask you to keep in mind just one thing, it is this, that the Class of '23, like all other classes that have been or shall be, is the greatest and most wonderful class that has yet appeared upon the threshold of time. Remembering this, you will be better able to comprehend the full dignity of the tale I shall unfold. A When we first entered West Newton High, most of us were just a little shaky, but when things were straightened out, we conquered that feeling and settled down to work. When the year was half over, we felt pretty well acquainted with everything and everybody. At the beginning of the term, there were sixty-six members enrolled, girls much more in evidence than boys, there being forty-four of them against twenty- two of the opposite sex. Soon after the opening of sch-ool, we organized as auclass, electing officers, selecting our class colors, flower, etc. Towards the last of Sep- tember, the upper classes gave a dance in our honor, but being Freshmen, many of us were onlookrs, and the few that tried to dance were buffeted about at the will of those older and more experienced upper classmenf' During the year we had those trials and tribulations which only come to first year students, our rivalry with the Sophs was the cause of many a disturbance. But finally, the school term came to an end and we discovered that we had lost some of our members, some could not keep up in the race, and others lost their desire for knowledge. THE PASSING or THE FRESHMEN We came in the Fall, We left there in May, We came in the Fall, We left there in May, We came here as Freshies, YVe left with a smile, Knew nothing at all. All happy and gay. But now we are wiser, For our thoughts were turned, Our 'heads will hold more, To the time in the fore, For we have caught up When we all would be classed, WVitll the Soph-o-mores. As Soph-o-more. Our Sophomore year was rather uneventful except for a couple of class parties and a few class fights. We have always had lots of spirit and were never backward when there was a fight at hand. We, in our trrn, took delight in tormenting the poor Freshies, to see how miserable we could make them: Soon that year passed by and when we returned to school again, we returned as an upper classman-a Junior! This third year -of our High School life was a great one for the Class of '23. We seemed to be more closely bound together than ever before, and our class spirit had increased a hundred fold. This was the year of the great fight between the Junior and Senior classes. There had always been great rivalry between the two classes. and it all ended in a fight over whose flag should wave over our High School building. Between that and other smaller squabbles, our Junior year of High was made most exciting. On April the twenty-first, we gave our Junior Prom, which was a great success. We cleared about forty dollars on the dance, but a good bit of this was paid out for the Senior dance, which was not so successful. And then, our Junior year was over and our next appearance at W. N. H. S. was as the leaders of the school. And now we have come to the portal leading out into life. This last year in our High School has been one of combined study and pleasure. During our four years in H. S.. our class has always held their own in athletics, and this year was an especially good one for us, as we were very well represented on our girls' and boys' basket ball teams and our football team. On April the sixth, the Juniors gave a dance for us, at which veryone had a very delightful time. On the eighteenth of the same month, a good majority of our class spent a very enjoyable evening at Pats, in Gratztown. One social event has followed another and soon will come the breaking up and final separation of the Class of '23. The lessons which we have learned in our intercourse with each other will never be forgotten, and as we go through life may we always remember and live up to the motto which has ruled us through our High School life: Climb though the Heights be Rugged.

E., '23 We, of the class of twenty-three Have struggled, fought and climbed, Up the rugged heights so steep Helping those that come behind. Through our four long years in High School We have kept its standards high, And never a day did we let them drop As time went swiftly by. At last, at last we have reached a goal, Which is not a permanent one, But merely just a stepping stone, To greater things unknown. And now that we are Seniors, We wish to make one request, That you keep up the High School standards And make them the very best.

With the latter, usually in time of war, and the former in athletics. This is nothing more than turning out to encourage the contestants, sometimes sacrificing other pleasures to do so. No one, unless he has played long and hard in the face of many and varied ob- stacles, cafn appreciate what the cheering.along the side-lines means to them. They realize that many have had difficulty in getting there, but they came to give them the benefit of their voices. Whether they think of these things or not, they KNOW that whether they win or lose, that body of cheering spectators is going to welcome them back with open arms, so they naturally do their darndest to deserve it. One has said, The only thing more sad than a battle lost, is a battle won. We may say, The only thing more sad than a game lost, is a game won with no one there to congratulate you on your success. The way in which you take part in the Literary program shows your school spirit. If you go about it in a slow, sluggish manner, saying, O, what's the use. No one listens. Listen-you don't have any too much school spirit. We'll admit the audi- ence is not always as attentive as it might be, but why not make your part so inter- esting that they'll want to listen. Also, you who are listening, give your best atten- tion. Maybe you don't realize that talking, laughing, etc., makes the speaker nervous. Remember, you'll be on some time, too. How do you want to be treated? When the school is having a little social affair or something like that, for the benefit of the school, it is the duty of every one to take part. There will be more accomplished, and besides you'll have more fun. You'll be surprised how nice the THE SEARCHLIGHT I Page 1 5 others are. The school will be more of a unit then, instead of a number of parties. Remember the saying, United we stand, divided we fall. Another way of showing your school spirit is in your studies. Everything is benefited by initiative and if we employ this in our studies by getting outside work so as to make our lessons more interesting, we will advance more and people will see that We deserve better materials for working, above all, a new high school. When Fighting Joe Thompson spoke to us he said if the students really wanted a new high school they could get it. Although we may not care to accept the whole state- ment, we must admit there's a grain of truth in it. What are we going to do? In a few words, school spirit may be said to be the desire of every one to help the school. Here's hoping this little article is doing its share to promote it. ' DOROTHY M. KOSCHIK. Literary Societies BY A. M. H., '23 Behold! Our four societies: Newtonian, Philapronean, Athenian and Excelsior. There has been a radical change in comparison to other years, in the line of literary activities. After almost a month of school, names of students in each society were posted. Several weeks later a meeting of each was held and officers elected. Then we started on our litrary career! Look out! ! Our respective meetings have been held regularly, and have proven to be rather successful, always with an aim to arouse enough interest to expect an active and in- telligent part from every student. We believe we have accomplished our purpose, in that the students have instituted quite a number of originalities. Probably the most out-standing was the debut of our quartet , the well-remembered date of which was March 30. Those with musical talent have also made quite an astonishing display. Perhaps it would be wise to say here that our Carusoes called themselves The Agony Quartet. Each society is under the supervision of several of our capable and efficient teachers. Namely: Newtonian, Miss Fisher, and Mr. Garing, Philapronean, Miss Van Kirk and Mr. Mullen. Athenian, Miss Pore and Mr. Etshied. Excelsior, Miss Kreps and Mr. Lutz. Under their competent leadership and our own ever advancing ideals, we have made quite a remarkable showing, much to the surprise of some individuals, evidently. Nevertheless we stepped right out, and in fact haven't quit shining yet. A word must also be said regarding the advantages of our societies as they now function. We feel confident that we are training some who m-a-y be orators some bright day. We have had more opportunities to hear them than previous times, which on their part means more training. Moreover it creates a feeling of good fellowship which in the long run has a decided effect upon an individual. Again, we must ad- mit that it makes one more self-reliable, which is a most important factor in model- ing a good citizen. In short we think we are Just Right. The, student body and also the faculty seem rather justified, the first in that they have reaped a reward for the effort put forth, and the second, that they have obtained such favorable results from having the initiative to divide the societies. We have suc- cessfully carried on our good work this year, and sincerely hope that it shall be carried further in the succeeding years. So here's Good Luck to the societies as a whole. Clubs and Organizations , Several clubs were organized this year in our High School, and have proved very beneficial to all their members. WELFARE CLUBS The Boys' Welfare Club was organized for the purpose of teaching higher ideals, manners and etiquette, and politeness. They elected as their ofiicers: President, Har- Page 1 6 THE SEARCHLIGHT ry Donaldson, Secretary, Martin Weaver. This club had a large attendance-twenty- one being present at their first meeting. Very intersting problems were taken up and solved. The Girls' Welfare Club had the same purpose for the girls as the Boys' Welfare Club. It's ofhcers were: President, Dorothy Koschikg Secretary, Freeda McNear. This club was a success, and at all social functions, the manners of the members of this club are taken as authority and imitated. It is rumored that at a recent party, one of the members of the Welfare Club, being left-handed, started to eat her ice- cream with her left hand, and soon everyone was making a desperate effort to show their good etiquette by manipulating their spoon with their left hand. Believe it or not. THE LETTER CLUB This club was not organized too soon as its duties were to uphold the standards of their meetings, the standard for athletic award was set as sixty percent of all the officers elected were: President, Ralph Neashamg Secretary, Josephine Gaal. At one of their meetings, th standard for athltic award was st as sixty percent of all the quarters played, or an award shall be given to any person deemed worthy of receiving it, by a three-fourths vote of the Letter Club. The size and style of award was also chosen by this club. , ' THE BULL DOG CLUB To get pep into the students, to sell tickets, to support athletics, and to promote school spirit, was the worthy purpose of this club. The officers elected were: Robert Penman, President, and-:Roy Painter, Secretary. Their Pep meetings and unique demonstrations gave new life to our old High School and inspired everyone to do their best, either in playing in the games or in backing up the teams with that Old West Newton Spirit. Our Gym By K. F., '25 Going down one of the streets of West Newton, I noticed an odd looking build- ing about seventy-five feet long and sixty-tive feet wide. It was a dilapidated thing with one window half-way covered, a panel out of the door, and the other window so dirty that you could just dimly see people moving back and forth in front of it. The building was two stories high and looked like it hadn't had a coat of paint since it was erected. Judging from the looks, it must have been built about the seventeenth century. If you watched this building long enough, you would hear a long rolling sound, resembling thunder, and then a crash. The whole building would shake and you would think that the place surely must be haunted. The mystery, however, would soon he solved if you went to the second floor, where you would see a bowling alley. If you happened along at the right time, you would hear yelling and cheering and noises of all kinds, but this is nothing unusual, for the W. N. H. S. uses the first floor as a basketball hall.

So he went into a store, priced some apparatus and nearly fainted. However, he finally persuaded himself to buy a set that made his pocketbook flatter than a pancake. After working for about a week, he succeeded in erecting an aerial, and one night he put on the phones. He had listened but a few minutes when he heard a voice say: This is station XYZ. We will now broadcast from the ringside, the fight be- tween Battling Levi and Tony the Wop. In a minute Dick Dare, sporting editor of the Bugle will describe the fight for you. This is great, thought the listener. Now he heard a voice a trtler fainter say, This is station ABC. Dora Gilbert, celebrated poetess, will now read some of her poems. Then came the vocie from the ringside, Tony and Levi shake hands. The gong rinfgs. Round one. Tony swings with his right. Levi gives Tony a terrific crack in the jaw. Tony comes back with a left to the stomach.' The blow- As sweet as buds in April dew Responsive flows from me to you. ' And gentle as a cooing dove The echo murmurs, 'This is love.' This was the voice of Dora Gilbert, peerless poetess. She continued: I love the song thy voice intonesg And in sleep my eyes I'll closep If- Levi biffs him in the nose, said Dick Dare from the ringside. Levi knocks Tony onto the ropes. They clinch. They part- And oh, the parting wrings my heart, murmured the soulful poetessf' To part, ah, this is sad indeed n When closer friendship is our need, Your voice I'm always glad to hear When- Levi biffs him in the ear. By this time the listener was thoroughly disgusted, but to his great joy he heard a voice say, This is station VABC. We are now signing off. Good-night. Now, thought the listener, I can hear the fight But to his Clisg'ust, he heaimli Page is THE SEARCHLIGHT Dick Dare at the ringside say, Levi knocks Tony out in the third round. This is XYZ signing off. Good-night. As might be supposed, the young man was not very well pleased with his iirst night's listening, but he decided to listen again the next night. And he did. He heard a station giving a description of a fashionable dinner given by one of the 400 in New York, and he decided to copy it. While he was coyping it, another station started to give notice of an auction to take place on an Illinois farm. Un- known to him, the listener copied parts sent from each station, and when he was through copying it, he started to read what he had copied. This is what he read: The hostess was gowned in a becoming tarpaulin 10x20 ornamented with large oval-shaped mounds of good baled straw. She was seated at a vantage point twenty miles south of Chicago, and on a macadamized road. Only intimate friends of twenty milch cows were present, also one good hayrake Sixty bushels of corn in the crib and fifty Rhode Island Reds were served. An after-dinner speech was given by one Poland-China pig, registered and tub- ercular tested, a former schoolmate of the hostess at Columbia University. - - He read this far, and then he tore the paper to bits, declaring that he would never touch another radio set again. But he did, and before long he learned to op- erate his set correctly, and to get good results. He now expects to be a second Mar- coni, and advises no one to give up radio when first discouraged. ROBERT GOEHRING '26. Americanization BY A. J. '23 Love of country needs no special language but it does require a spirit of loy- alty and service and devotion beyond bounds of our known tongue. There are many and various things which play an important part in Americani- zation. Among these is the environment. With housing conditions that come way below our idea of an ideal home, low wages, irregularity of employment, and bad working conditions, we cannot expect a sudden change of mind in the immigrant. They must have full confidence in the honesty of purpose of those active in Ameri- canization work. The unit which is the foundation of the organized society is the family, one of the strongest ties uniting human beings. Each family requires a home for its normal life, and development. A normal home especially in rural districts means a piece' of land and a suitable house for the family, and an opportunity to earn the family liv- ing, either on this land or in some industrial plant near by. They must have friends and acquaintances and such necessities as newspapers, church, school, physician, roads and postotlice, When an immigrant finds himself established in such a home, when questioned as to whether he considers his birthplace his country or America, inveriably answers America. He explains that it is a freer country, his children born and schooled here, have a brighter outlook for the future. A large number of the immigrants who land on our shores desire to have a home. Many of them having been brought up on farms would like to follow this occupation, but aimlessly drift to the cities where they take up such work as mining, pick and shovel jobs, and factories. This fact has been confirmed by the U. S. Immigration Committee: From one-third to three-fifths of these new comers, the proportion varying ac- cording to race, had been engaged in agricultural pursuits before coming to the U.S., but not one in ten has settled on farms in this country. Then let us consider community team-work. In community union there is strength. Working and planning together for any undertaking, however limited and humble its dimensions, inevitably ties its promoters inbonds of greater understand- ing and sympathy. Native and foreign born who unite to enrich their common life, THE SEARCHLIGHT Page 19 act as a powerful force for Americanization. Better than any artificially devised schemes, is the spontaneous pulling together for a common need of all elements of the community. This constitutes real amalgamation in a Democracy. Our new Democarcy is taking root in the foundation of modern society and is leaving behind the myth of race superiority, which has for many years been the most prominent of class privileges. Out of the evils of ancient ethic nationalism has grown a new consciousness of kind born of blood bands between races has come a consciousness of kind based upon well defined community interest. Then again racial assimilation must be considered. Knowledge of the flexibili- ty of racial characters under the influence of environment gives the conclusion that race superiority is an unsettled question. The fear has been expressed that men would choose women of the inferior race. Those familiar with the facts as they really are taking place in our midst, realize that the physical assimilation is taking place almost unchangingly between the best and most capable people, and that the lower classes mix very little. As the interdependence of the people of the U. S. becomes intensified, as was the case during the Great War, racial valuations tend to become equalized and social valuations take on new significance. Too rapid a racial assimilation is not necessary and is not a question of social assimilation. Some restrictions in regard to the foreigner must be laid down. Such as citizenship, ability to read and write and speak in the English language, adjust- ment to economic environment, employment, etc., are perhaps the basis upon which the restrictions could be based with some degree of mathematical accuracy. These factors if made the basis of immigration legislation, at least, lend themselves to flex- ible enforcement that will keep up with progress, that this country is likely to make in the future, toward creating increasingly favorable conditions for educational and political assimilation. Such legislation should be prepared by a number of scientists and should be subject to constant adjustment so that the progress of our country could go on. Who will doubt that the language is one of the common factors in Americaniza- tion essential to the state, as it establishes a common basis of communion between the people. It is the common denominator of the nation. The war brought about a spirit of contempt against non-English speaking people and an effort to force upon tue foreigner the English language. It is not to be feared that we shall perish for lack of a common language. but it is to be reared that we shall' fall prey to over-zealous patriots, who confuse desire for revenge, with love for country. The army that fought for Democracy was not an English speaking army, but a truly American Army, composed of every race and ua- ticnality of our land. Another thing we might add would be Immigrant churches. Foreign language churches are needed by immigrants as they have not learned to understand the Eng- lish language. But for those who have been long enough in this country no such church is needed. In the use of foreign language in nearly all the rural colonies where there was an immigrant church, the language used in the church service was the old-country tongue, although occasionally the services were rendered in English and the foreign language both. It has been told by the church authorities, that, though the people might under- stfind and speak English fluently in their every day affairs, they could not understand church services when these were in English. The immigrant congregation on the whole prefers the English service, while the priests and pastors oppose it. The clergy often maintain the foreign language service is needed. The most strenuous in saying this wcre the German Catholic and the Lutheran pastors. Another method of promoting Americanization, is tried by foreigners establish- ing gr-olony. One of these is at Glendale. The development of the colony has been Page 20 THE SEARCHLIGHT steady. There are four groups of colonists, a few miles apart, but they communi- cate easily and freely. The price of the land since they bought it has doubled in value. Almost all the land is under cultivation. The main money crop is cotton of exceptionally heavy yield. There is no difficulty marketing their farm products, for the colony is within a few miles of Phoenix. But perhaps one of the greatest reasons for failure of assimilation is our failure in taking the people into our confidence. President Wilson has said: Only a peace between lands can last, only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit. In Americanization a peaceful and co-operative development of a nation can be obtained when out of the depths of each people comes a desire for praticipation and common benefit, that is born out of equality, that is devoid of fear. that looks to fu- ture and not to the past, that considers tradition a stepping stone and not a chain and that looks upon the culture of the world as an achievement to be conserved and de- veloped rather than as a menace. We need the industry and thoroughness of Germany, the truthfulness and art of Russia, and the music of Italy. Senior Prophecy By E. G. S., '23 Queer things happen to people sometimes but I believe that I had a queerer experience than any of you. I was walking down a street in New York City the other day and as I was just sight-seeing, I wasn't going at a very fast gait. My eyes drift- ed here and there till they rested on a sign which read Knowledge -of Twenty Years Hence. I became quite interested so I entered the building. I entered into one room that was decorated so as to represent an old fashioned flower garden. They seated me under the arbor of roses and here, lulled to sleep by the fragrance of the roses and the songs of the birds, I dreamed or rather they told me the history of the Class of '23, twenty years from now. It is as follows: Mary Goehring, the cleverest crook that all the detective agencies have ever known. Evelyn Miller, mayor ot' West Newton.

I arose and found my way to the street and wended my way home- ward, and here I am relating this dream, but for some, I wish better luck than in this dream of mine. A Hero's Reward By R. N., '23 It was April 11th, 1924, and the students were gathered together in small groups in the halls of Westfield High School. Some of these were noisy, an uneasy hum passing through others, and still oth- ers were quiet and thoughtful-looking. The reason .for this unusual excitement was this: Japan had seized several American coaling stations and military posts in the Philippine Islands, and the students were momentarily expecting America's answer to this rnheard of impudence. At last it came. At ten o'clock Congress had voted war, and at 10:30, the Presi- dent had formerly recalled the American minister to Japan, and declared war. And such a babel of voices aroused by this announcement. The President had asked for 1,000,000 volunteers. This soul-stirring announcement had aroused the fiery patriotism of Jack Benton. A member of the Senior class, Jack was 17 years of age and an orphan. His parents had left him well supplied with frnds to enable him to continue his educa- tion. Jack was a tall, heartily-built, and handsome lad who had in many athletic contests paved the way for a Westdeld victory. Jack determined to answer his corntry's call, because he felt it his duty to his native land, and to the memory of his dead father, a captain of marines, who had fallen while lengling a charge at Chateau-Thierry. Page 22 THE SEARCHLIGHT With this determintion in mind, Jack immediately went to a recruiting station to offer himself to his flag. Here, of course, he had to give his age as eighteen, which he did with a tinge of remorse. After two hours of severe physical and mental exam- ination he was accepted as a member of the United Stats Marines, and was told to report the next day to the commanding oflicer at Camp Dix, a temporary camp about ten miles from Westfield. The next day Jack was one of the first of the recruits to arrive at the camp, and what a sight he beheld. Row after row of tents had been erected in preparation for the coming of the volunteers. It was a picturesque view. The quiet river, flowing languidly at one side of the camp, the blazing sun overhead, and the miles and miles of khaki-colored canvas stretching as far as the eye could see, with an American flag floating from the top of every regimental headqnarter's tent. After- reporting to the proper officer, Jack with seven other recruits was given into the charge of a regular army sergeant, who assigned them to one of the many tents. When the fellows began to come in, it seemed to Jack as though there were mil- ions of them. Soon came the welcome mess call and the fellows, green as they were, knew what it was from the demands of the inner man. What a task the officers had forming those motley thousands into orderly formations, but at last it was accom- plished and so passed Jack's first day in camp. Jack found that a young fellow of eighteen had been assigned to his tent. He was a tall, llithe fellow with brown hair and eyes that would do credit to any town belle. His name was Hal Chase. As the two boys were the youngest in the tent, each mutually selected the other as his buddy or particular chum. On the following day uniforms were issued to them and they certainly improved the appearance of the men. Wooden rifles were issued for the purpose -of drilling the men in the manual of arms and other fundamentals. Here Jack had a decided advant- age over his fellows because his father had taught these to him from A to Z. The snap with which he executed the manual of arms, attracted the attention of his superiors, and as drill sergeants were badly needed, won for him the position of ser- geant. Then followed weeks of hard drilling on the blistering parade grounds, long hikes over dusty roads and through mud, and hours on the rifle range. But this toil was rewarded in due time, for at the end of three months Uncle Sam had 1,000,000 of the finest fighting men ever produced ready to hurl at the throat of Japan. At last the great news came. The 336th regiment, which was Jack's and Hal's, was to entrain, in company with nine others, for San Francisco. From thence trans- ports would carry them to the scene of action. The journey across the continent was uneventful, and soon those Devil Dogs were on the peaceful Pacific steaming, many of them, to their death. Then the fun began. The boys were preparing for a good time while on the sea, as the disci- pline was rather lax there, but before the vessels were out of sight of land, most of them, the boys, I mean, including Hal, were stretched 'out in thir bunks not caring whether the ship floated or sunk. Old King Sea-sickness held the regiment in the grasp of his powerful hand. Jack proved to be a good sailor as he escaped this ma- lady. By the end of four or five days all the fellows were up and anxiously looking for excitement. When two days out from the Philippines it came. The periscope of a submarine was sighted about a half mile from the transport on which the chums were stationed. Immediately the fleet changed its course and steamed in zig-zag lines, so as to spoil the aim of the invaders. But the excitement was destined not to last long for when the periscope appeared again it was greeted with several tons of projectiles from the huge guns' of the dreadnaughts acting as a convoy to the tarnsports. The oil which arose to the surface of the sea testified to the fact that the United States would never again be troubled by that particular submarine. At last they reached port and after remaining on the coast for two weeks, they THE SEARCHLIGHT Page 23 were ordered into the interior to attack the stronghold of General Yang Fu. A second American army was to approach from the other side of the island with the same ob- jective. With glad cries the marines received these news. Soon they were on their way, the battalions swinging along in that carelss care-free step that only American sol- diers can exhibit. After two days of hard marching they reached a wide, level plain, abundantly covered with grass, about twenty miles from their destination. On the other side of the plain was a small, heavily wooded hill. As the vanguard was march- ing almost abreast of the hill the sharp, staccato bark of machine guns broke out and three men in the front ranks fell. The commander ordered a retreat and before the troops were out of range, the Americans had their first casualties, 14 men lying out there dead, dying or wounded. - To march past these guns meant total annihilation of the column, so General Bundy called for volunteers to oust the enemy from their position. Jack's company as one man stepped forward, one hundred and tifty fighting men of as fine a calibre as any who ever carried guns. Twenty men in charge of Lieutenant Jackson were se- lected for the job. Jack and Tom were two of the lucky twenty. It was planned that they should wait until dusk and then crawl toward the guns and try to surprise the battery into surrender. The plan worked exceptionally well, in spite of the fact that it was a very moonlight night, until within about fifty yards from the edge of the woods. Here one of the men gave a loud sneeze, caused by a weed which the slight breeze blew into his face. Knowing that they were discovered Lieutenant Jackson threw caution to the winds and ordered his Devil Dogs to charge. Each man carried his rifle with fixed bayonet and his service revolver in anticipation of what was to come. The men leaped to their feet and raced towards the forest. The guns began to bark immediately and they had not gone ten yards when Lieut. Jackson fell, the iirst of the twenty. Immediately his men dropped to the ground, leaderless, not knowing what to do. Jack as second in command knew his duty and with a cry oi Forward on his lips, dashed towards the guns. After a series of short rushes Jack dropped to the ground about ten yards from the edge of the forest to take stock of his forces. To his horror he discovered that Hal was the only man other than himself who had escaped that awful barrage. But those guns must be silenced at any cost, so side by side, and yelling like de- mons the two chums charged and just as they reached the edge of the woods Hal fell. The agonized appeal in his bunkie's eyes iilled Jack with a remorseless furry. The sight of his best friend being shot from his side is enough to change any man into a raging demon. As he reached the woods he saw the guns, just inside the woods manned by a crew of six men, sending clip after clip of cartridges in his direction. Sharp burning sensations in different parts of his body informed Jack that not all of them were going wild. Staggering on, ever towards those remorseless guns, Jack's service revolver ac- counted for four Japs and silenced one gun. As he was now too close to the guns for them to be eiective, the Japs prepared to draw their revolvers. Quick as a flash, Jack ended the career of one by sending ten inches of cold steel from his bayonet throrgh his throat. In a sort of semi-consciousness, with his fast-failing senses, Jack tore his bayonet from the throat of the Jap and with the weight of his body alone behind the thrust, he drove the blood-covered steel into the breast of the last man, just as he was pixparing to fire. As the Jap fell to the ground, Jack fell with him, unconscious but still grasping his rifle in a deathlike grip. When the main body came up, Jack was found to be seriously wounded. Along with others he was sent back to the United States and home. And so Jack Benton won the D. S. C. . a das'-1. THE SEARCHLIGHT Page 25 uf rs, Pfl'j'iLrffil'w Athletics in YVest Newton high school this year have been considered the most successful for four years. In football we had a squad of seventeen men to start with, but the squad was deminished by injuries until we barely had enough for practice sessions or for the substituting in the games. However, when the season closed, We had lost 6 games and won 3. The team showed plenty of lighting spirit axasfteam work was evident in all of the games. Every time we lost, we went down fighting, and fought to the last ditch. Making no alibis, but we had a hard schedule and had to play it with a comparatively light squad. The team kept their faith in Coach Lutz, and after a comparison of tactics used by the coach and other coaches every man on the squad saw the common cause and worked with the coach toward a successful season. Leaving the squad this year by graduation are Capt. Penman Icenterl, Harold Lynn ffulll, Hugh Jones ttacklel, Charles Keller fquarterl, Celapino thalfl, and Elkins tendj. The lads will be sorely missed next year, but there is some goorllma- terial in the subs and the letter men who will be wearing the West Newton High cleats again next year. Coach Lutz expects to develop a fighting team from this ag- gregation. West Newton was much more successful in the basket ball world than they were in their gridiron frays. The lads and lassies were great quintets, and proved a howl- ing successs. The lads emerged with fourteen wins and only six defeats, and were one of the best quintets ever turned from this institution. The team was fortunate in having five of the last year quint with them and all were letter men so the team sure- ly did not suffer for lack of material. The first string varsity men were Keller and Jones at forward, Capt, Lynn center, and the guarding game was taken' care of in first class style by Penman and Neasham. Coach Lutz had a hard time picking out who to start in the first go of the season with the Jeannette crew, but soon found a strong combination and kept it throughout the season. The team's offense was of the highest caliber and their defense was found -time and again to be impregnable. When at any time the Gold and Black boys drew up their strong five man defense the op- ponents had to be satisfied with their markers from the gratis mark. Charles lBudl Keller, the little demon of this year's quint, needs a good deal of credit for his excellent brand of the floor sport. Hughie Jones also needs a big slice of praise. Capt. Lynn deserves his share of credit for his tioor work and shooting and Pcnman and Neasham can be classed among the -best guards ever turned out by the West Newton High School. ' THE SEARCHLIGHT Page 27 The subs also need a big hand for their faithfulness and the hard work they ex- hibited. In practice sessions it was a hard task to pick out the first five. The subs were by no means easy picking for the varsity five, and when substituted in games showed much skill in the floor sport. All of the first five with the exception of Nea- sham graduate this year, but the team will be far from being composed of green ma- terial. Q The girls of West Newton high school have also established a record to be proud of. This year's quint was a group of girls who played good basket ball from the open- ing whistle of the initial clash until the final blast of the closing encounter. Coach Wilson's lassies played as good basket ball on a strange floor as they did on their domain. The Golden Lassies won ten and lost only two of their strugglies. The Vifest Newtonites this season scored 222 points to their opponents 83. The West Newton Lassies tossed 88 field goals from the field while their adversaries had trouble in looping their 21 counters. From the foul line our quintet was just a lit- tle off color, sinking 46 out of their 138 free throws, their opponents netted 41 out of 153 throws. The task of picking the big light on the West Newton High Five is indeed a hard one, and can be done only after much study. The squad this year was composed of Forwards-Fries, Moody, Jones, Millergi Centers-Pore, Gaalg Guards-Capt. Neff, Sampson, Dale, Kelly, Binder, Lecky. Miss Fries was one of the big guns on the team this season and deserves much credit and praise for her playing. Dot played a stellar game in all of her contests, and was always there when it came to playing basket ball. She fought hard through- out and more than aided her mates in securing their victories. Congratulations Doro- thy, it's hard to beat your kind. . Miss Moody was another of the beaming lights of the Famous Golden Lassies. Mary was high scorer of the team this year with 31 field goals and 19 fouls. This lassie played great basket ball and saved many games with her beautiful tosses. Miss Jones who has another year on the quintet showed up exceedingly well on the boards this season. She is quick and light on her feet and a fiash when once start- ed. Big things are hoped for from this lass in the floor sport and Twit is sure to make good. Miss Pore and Miss Gaal have shared honors at the mid-court position this winter. Just who played the best basket ball is hard to say. Both of the girls put up an ex- cellent brand of basket ball. And now last, but not least, comes our guards Captain Neff and Miss Sampson. who need laurels galore for their great defense work. Hetts and Sam worked together and proved to be one grand stonewall against their rivals' various mans of at- tack. But now to make a long story short, they were absolutely WONDERFUL, and nothing in the line of praise is too good for them. Now just how good the West Newton lads were this year may be drawn from the fact that they scored 564 points to their opponents' 417. From the field they regis- tered 212 Iield goals to their adversaries' 138. Hughie Jones was high scorer of the boys' quint, with 118 field ringers, which gave the star tosser an average of seven loopers a game. Bud Keller, another menace to our foe, rang up 64 tosses, and most of these were his beautiful long rangers. From the foul line W. N. H. S. penalty tossers registered 122 out of 135 tries, while the penal tossers for the opposing quints holed out 119 oft of 216. The boys played great basketball all season, but played very good basketball at Jeannette, Elizabeth and Dunbar. The Dunbar affair was a hair-raiser, our lads romping home with a 14-13 win. Though our quint lost at Connellsville in their final engagement, it fought hard throughout, and wentdown fighting. In all of their battles the lads went in to Do or Die. The subs also need a good hand in the praise giving and are the making of a great team in the future. The team loses by graduation, Hve regulars and two subs. They are Misses Fries, Moody. Pore, Gaal, Neff, Sampson, Miller Binder. Q. Page 2s THE SEARCHLIGHT 23 19 ITI 63.

The Juniors didn't lose much time in getting together and electing ofllcers for their Junior year. The following were elected: Henry Ward, Presidentp Harry Ful- mer, Vice-presidentg Gayle Jones, Stecretary and Treasurer. These o1Tlcers proved to be the Cat's Meow, as Mary Kelly says, and all have performed their duty very well. ATHLETICS Football-The old class of '24 was very well represented on the varsity team, having ten on it. Thus showing that the team could not have gotten along without the representatives of '24. Basket ball-The old rose and white was again well represented on the varsity string, and from their brand of work, we know that there is plenty of good material for next year. The girls were not as well represented as the boys, having one member alone on the varsity, and a, total of three on the first team. But there is plenty of good material in the Junior class, so watch their smoke next year. SOCIAL Cats and Witches, Wow!-Around the time of Hallowe'en the class of '24 met at the home of Miss Irene Scales, Suterville, and everybody certainly did have a pleas- ant evening. Ask Lash if we didn't. On Novmber 16, Miss Gladys Synder decided to take the part of hostess to the Juniors. Well, there is no doubt about it-we sure did enjoy ourselves. Leave that to the Juniors. Our next riot which was introduced in the disguise of a class party was at Ralph Neasham's. It was just the same old story here, because we all came home happy. And when we come home that way we sure had some time. Prom Week, April 2-6-Something new. Leave it to us. We're the cat's paja- mas when it comes to original ideas. Monday-Basket ball games. Seniors vs. Junior boys. Seniors 37, Juniors 27. Seniors vs. Junior girls. Seniors 19, Juniors 12. Not so bad when it comes to playing the varsity. Tuesday-Class party at McGrew's, Suterville, and the class again raised ned. Specialities were given by Mary Kelly and Samuel Pittler. They take the cake when they get started. ' THE SEARCHLIGHT Page 33 Wednesday-Prom. In honor of our upper class, the Seniors, this was given, and we hope that they enjoyed themselves. Thursday-Lots of busted alarm clocks. Friday-Class party. Help! Murder! Bang! Crash!L I spin seventeen. That's me! It's not, it's me! Now don't get excited, kind reader, just another class party at Miss Florence Williams' and it sounds as though we had a swell time. Did We? I'll say we did Sophomore Class Notes. G. H., '25 With the opening of school lat fall it was very pleasing to see that the majority of last year's class were back again. After getting settled down we called a class meeting for the election of officers. Kenneth Fries was elected as president, Homer Moody as secretary-treasurer. We have had several parties at which all present undoubtedly had a fine time. The boys and girls of our class have been greatly interested in athletics. During the football season several of our boys came out for the varsity, and al- thoughthough none succeeded in making it, they acquitted themselves very well. We look forward to better success next year and we hope to place several of our boys on the squad. Basket ball proved a great attraction to both boys and girls. Although they didn't do wonders, just watch their smoke next year. The boys have organized a base ball team with Wallace Cumpson as captain and second baseman, George Hodgson manager and first baseman. We have good ma- terial and show great promise for a successful season. Obley, Moody, Williams, Goodman, Robinson, Evans, Shabi, Morrow, Budd, Sterner, Baughman, Fries, Martin, Moorhead and Streicher, also members of the team, have shown great stuff so we expect to hear wonders about them this summer. Summing it all up we can call this a successful year as far as our-class is -con- cerned, so when We look back on the days when we were Freshmen, we shudder and say, Was it possible? Freshman Class Notes By R. G., '26 At the beginning of the second week of school the Freshman Class met and elect- ed James Watt president, John Jones vice-president, Thelma Smelhtzer secretary, and Olive Obley treasurer. Red and white were chosen as the class colors. Early in the year the Freshmen reception was held in the Yough Club rooms. Many Freshmen attended, and a good time was reported by all. , Soon after football practice began, the Juniors invited us to a moon-light picnic on the Zumbro farm. This was also well attended, and it was enjoyed by everyone. Our class took a great interest in football, and one of our classmates had the dis- tinction of making the varsity. Next came basket ball, and both the boys and girls of our class took an inter- est in it, and although no one in the Freshman class made the varsity squads, we practiced regularly and attended the games, all the while showing good class spirit. The months were now slipping by at a great rate, and we enjoyed a two weeks' vacation at Christmas, and we came back to school, only to be awakened to the fact that the mid-term examinations were near, and we were informed that many of us were in for them. And right in the midst of the basket ball season at that. How- ever, we studied faithfully at night, and to our great joy passed them in good shape. The school year was now rapidly drawing to a close, and in the first week of April our class pictures were taken. ge 2 4 THE SEARCHLIGHT FRESHMAN CLASS ,. THE SEARCHLIGI-IT P589 35 Now, at the close of the term, we look back and have to admit that we were pretty green at the first of the year. But we are no longer green, and we expect to come back next year as wise and experienced Sophomores. Senior Class Notes A. P., '23 On September 1, forty-seven smiling Seniors were enrolled in W. N. H. S. Just shortly after school started a business meeting was held to elect class ofllcers, as a result of which Bennie Elkins was re-elected president, while Ethel Neff was elect- ed secretary-treasurer. We have not had many class parties, but what we did have were a success as all who attended the corn roast at the home of Guy Nicholls will testify. But however, everyone is looking forward to the party at Pat Farmers, and hope we may have many more. The Seniors also gave the Senior Hop, at the Yough Club rooms which was at- tended by a large crowd and was a great success. The fellows do not always wait for the girls to give the parties, as was shown by the number of Senior fellows who attended a Stag party at Lyon's restaurant. We are proud to say we have done our share in athletics, and feel our help will be missed next year. In foot ball we have Captain Robert Penman as center, Harold Lynn guard, Hugh Jones tackle, Charles Keller quarterback, and Bennie Elkins left end. William Celapino who was a member of the squad for a short time played half back. Last, but not least, Walter Farmer, manager and sub Boys' basket ballg Hugh Jones and Charles Keller forwards, Captain Harold Lynn center, Robert Penman guard, while Bennie Elkins was a sub and manager. Our boys made good in basket ball as was shown when they were victorious over Smithton Independents by a score of 39-34. They also won from Monessen Scholas- tics by a score of 13-11, and from Juniors by a score of 37-27. . Our girls played equally well and deserve mention. The Senior varsity ,girls are, Dorothy Fries and Mary Moody, forwards: Margaret Pore and Josephine Gaal, celt- ersg Evelyn Sampson and Captain Ethel Neff, guardsg Evelyn Miller, forward, a sub' while Eleanor Rohland was their manager. The Seniors now are looking forward with great interest to Class Play, Com- mencement, and other pleasures of graduation. Only a few more weeks until we, the Seniors of '23, will leave W. N. H. S., also leaving many fond memories behind us, and hoping that the lower classmen will fol- low in our footsteps. Calendars Sept. 4-School opens, all glad to be back.

Page 38 THE SEARCHLIGHT A Trip to Elder's Ridge Now I'll wager you have been leafing through this entire book hunting for this. Well, here it is, the trip to Elders Ridge. Read ! At one o'clock, February 17th our girls' basket ball' team with the gallant charioteer supporters, lifted their anchor and set sail for Elders Ridge. The sailing was smooth until we passed Apollo. Then began our troubles which never ended until we were safe at port in West Newton again. The Sea of Mud which we entered upon was rough and the old chariot could hardly mount the huge waves. We made about three knots an hour, and it was about eleven o'clock when we came to a dead stop and had to be hauled in by a hay galley. We eventually reachd there amid the cheers of the charioteers. who were standing on the shore to meet us. Those charioteers looked like speckled trout. But they were'nt-they were the peppiest boys alive. The game was played in the dull light of lightnin' bugs which had been caught for the occasion. The girls put up a game fight but the trip was too much for them, and they were defeated by the score of 9 to 7. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Etshied and the charioteers were escorted to their suite of rooms in Si Low's barn. ' The wee hours of the morning passed and nobody could sleep for the noise everybody made snoring. The morning came and the Sea of Mud had not calmed. So we set sail for home, with brave hearts, but heavy shoes and clothes. Many times we had to get out and swim alongside and push the boat in front of us. But we always went on-and on--through the countless dangers one encounters in the Sea of Mud. The day passed slowly by, and we were nearing land again. Every heart beat high and we felt something like Columbus did when he landed on this side of the creek. When we landed we were not long in reaching our destination. No-our clothes didn't have to be cleaned. They were in perfection order. Stag of Judging Team On the night of January 29, 1923, a stag was held by the Senior boys in honor of the Judging Team of West Newton High's Agricultural Department. The honored team consists of Roy Painter, famous potatoe judgeg Frank Markle, corn judge: and Kenneth Lancaster, poultry judge. You can consider these boys equal to any in the State in their respective departments, as the team as a whole just missed being first in the State by a margin -of 31-100 percent. Professor Wilson, teacher of Agriculture: the Senior boys and the honored team, made up the stag. Toasts were given to the team and to Professor Wilson- and descriptions were given of the trip. Everyone ate heartily and enjoyed themi selves, as most of those present were farmers or studying it. The stag ended with a talk on school spirit by Professor Wilson. Well, Sam, did you give the judge my note? Yes suh, Boss, but 'tain't no use writing dat man. Why'? 'Cause he's blind-blind as a bat. Do yer know he asked me twice where my hat was, an' all the time it was on my head. Does Santa Claus let an Esquimo his lawn, or does he cut it with an icicle. That's my idea of a broad, educat- ed man, said the driver of the steam roller, as he glanced back upon the corpse of the professor he had just run 0Ve!'. Irish: Foine dog you have, phwat kind is it?
