3 1-ACT PLAYS
FRI., MAY 17
Original Composition To
Be Acted By Pupils
MR. RICE MAKES SETS
On the evening of May 17, three
one act plays will be pr·sented in
the auditorium of our school. The
performance which will be given for
the benefit of extra curricular activities marks the first public entertainment sponsored by the Teaneck
High School pupils.
The first play is entitled "The
Heavenly Twins" and is of particular interest because it is an original play writtgn by a 9A English
class which meets 6th period in
room 213. The play is the result of
a class room project carried on by
Miss Galvin, teacher of this class, in
connection with the study of the
drama.
The second play, "Sauce for the
Goslings," by Elgine Warren, is under the direction of Miss Edith
Tepper, faculty advisor of the Footlight Club.
The third play offered at this
time is entitled, "The Florist Shop,"
by Winifred Hawkridge, and is directed by Miss Galvin.
Various members of the faculty
are cooperating in the work connected with the producing of the
plays. The reporters for the News
have reported the names of the
following members of the faculty
in connection with the plays: Miss
Medes, Art; M. Rice, Manual Training; Miss Conway, Typewriting.
Mr. Wilhoit has promised to have
his band there to play between the
acts so the evening's entertainment
should be very delightful.
Urge your parents and friends to
attend.
Mr. Rice and the manual training
department are constructing the
scenery. Mr. Rice states that only
the best reliable materials will be

No.6
A MONITOR SYSTEM
At last something has been done about keeping order.
Although the system decided upon by the Student Council
is not A-1, it is the best that could be done. Its success depends entirely upon the students, not the teachers or monitors. Many students don't approve of it because they say they
can take care of themselves-but, can they? The system
would never have been organized if the Student Council had
known that they could. If the pupils will prove that they can
"take care of themselves" and also obey the rules and regulations of the school, we are sure that the Monitors or Policemen will be disbanded. As long as we have slipping, sliding
and running iu he hall we must have smneone to give us a
friendly reminder when we "forget to remember."
SCHOOL SPIRIT
What is School Spirit? It is a valuable spark, a small
flame that grows or lessens according to the will of the
students of that school. Our flame of School Spirit seems to
be wavering. It must be revived again, or Teaneck High
School will be without one. No School Spirit! Why that would
be terrible. We shiver to think of it. No warmth without a
fire! Let us combine our force;.;, get behind t1wt little flame
of School Spirit, and make it into a roaring fire. We can do it!
DON'T DIE ON THIRD
THE TWO BOOKS
The score was a tie
Flannery was on third;
"Come on, old boy!" was heard
From the bleaches nearby
The score stood two to two,
Chances for a run were few;
Graham was at bat
Stepping to the plate he doffed his
hat;
If he lost, he lost not alone;
If he won, he won not alone;
If Flannery missed the base
Defeat starred them in the face.
The pitcher wound the ball
At a moment beyond recall,
Flannery neared the prize
From the multitude came cries
Sounds of joy from lips of some
From the lips of others the sounds

Boys, third base is no place to rest
Plod right on, and do your best;
Don't rest on your laurels.
Be strong on your morals
In all you do
Be fair and true,
Don't die on third.
On the day the books and supplies
were being put away for the summer, two books were arguing.
One book said, "As I am a new
book I will be taken into the new
class-room by a nice person while
you, old book, will be put in a corner
and have no attention paid to you
at all."
The old book said, "Wait, we'll

pened that the new book passed
into the hands of a very careless
person.
At the end of the term when
bocks were being collected again
the old book and the ".stuck-up"
book were placed side by side.
The old book had been fixed up
and in gen ~ral had been well taken
care of. The "stuck-up" book had
all kinds of stains. It presented
a very unsatisfactory appearance.
The old book said, "Now who will
be put in a corner?"
The new book said nothing for

Mary Boughton.
Bill and Slim were very much
surprised. Bill said, "Come on, Slim,
lit's go in." They walked in, expecting to see somebody or hear
someone. Whoever it was, had disappeared. They walked through the
hall into the kitchen, and Bill said,
"We forgot to bring something to
eat."
Slim replied, "Now don't ye worry,
I didn't forget to bring something."
They went through all the rooms,
Bill deciding they were all right, but
that he would have to get someone
to clean them as no one had lived
in the house for a long time. Bill's
uncle had lived in another city in
Arizona called Hokum.
Slim had brought some bread,
some meat and a can of coffee. He
said to Bill, "I'll put some coffee on
for ye, Bill." Bill found some dishes
in the kitchen closet. After they had
eaten, Bill decided that he and Slim
would sleep in the house that night
and the next day ride to town to
get someone to clean and cook for
him. About an hour later Bill and
Slim went up to bed. It was around
twelve o'clock, Bill and Slim sat up
abruptly in their beds and the two
of them said at the same time, "Did
you hear that?" They jumped out
of bed and out of the room, just in
time to see a white figure go downstairs. They rushed down after it,
but when they got there it was gone.
They climbed the stairs and went
back to bed, but neither Slim nor
Bill could go right to sleep. It was
seven o'clock when they awoke, both
got dressod and went downstairs.
Everything was in order. The ghost
had not disturbed anything. They
ate their breakfast and Bill said,
"I 141lesswe'll ·go t5 town this morning and try to get a woman to cook
and clean for us, and I guess I'll
have to get some more boys to help
m 3 around here. Do you know of
any good cowboys, Slim?"
"I certainly do, Bill. I'll get all my
·ds. They'll be glad to help ye.
Just say the word, and I'll go get
them. Mother Ronica has an old
nigger woman, may be she'll let you
have her. Ye can go and ask her."
Bill went in to see Mother Ronica and asked her about the colored
woman. Mother Ronica replied,
"Shure ye can have her, I'll call
her."
"Yassum, I'se coming," replied
Liza.
"Liza this is Mr. Bill Clifford. He
wants to know if ye will work for
him on the Clifford Ranch."
Liza replied, "No suh, that's the
ranch that's haunted, ain't it? No
suh, ah don't like spooks."
Bill replied, "No, No, Liza, I haven't se2n or heard any haunts."
"Wal, maybe ah will if you say
there ain't no haunts."
Bill replied, 'Well be ready in an
hour and meet me in front of the
house."
An hour later Bill met Liza in
front of the house with a wagon,
then they drove out to the ranch.
When they reached the ranch
and were in the house Bill said,
"You can go right ahead and work
Liza."
That night Bill and the cowboys
were going to catch the ghost. Bill
gave orders, ordering some men around the house and some men in.
He told Liza to go to bed.
She replied, "Yassam, I'se going,
but don't ya let them spooks get me.
"No, indeed I won't, Iiza," replied

ASSEMBLY REVIEW
A spring house cleaning was given
ln assembly March 21 by the 7A
group in Room 201.
Clara Brett took the part of the
teacher, Alice Katt and Thomas
Hughes were the helpful pupils who
cleaned the school of its undersirable characteristics.
Obedience cleaned out Disobedience, Car.efulness destroyed Car
lessness.
Pride, Loyalty and Courage were
found to· be the most desirable
characteristics of a junior high
school pupil.
The play was written by Mrs.
Grace West of the English department and was received with enthusiasm by the pupils.
One of the pleasing features was
the dancing of the Ti-Hi-ettes, a
group· of chorus girls, and the two
leading dancers, Winifred Backer
and Virginia Reeves. Miss Berg assisted in training of the dancers,
whom we hope t o ·sce again.
The assembly program last Thursd ay, April 11 , was sponsored by t h e
Seventh and Eight G r ade English
Classes. T h e sketch was a con ception of what any boy's dream might
be on the night before an examination in literature.

who were interested in the club

Mr. Wilhoit Offers
Splendid Opportunity
To Sincere P upils
--·
Mr. Wilhoit offers to worthy
pupils of this school an exceptional
opportunity to hear some musicians
of unusual ability and interest. He
has in his possession a n u mber of
tick ::t s for a concert to be given in
the Columbia gymnasium on the
afternoon of May 4 by the All New
York City High School Symphony
Orchest ra.
The orchestra is composed of the
best musicians of the orchestras of
various New York City high schools.
Some idea of th sir ability may be
gained when they offer among other
selections
Tschaikowsky's
Sixth
Symphony, "Pathetique."
Mr. Wilhoit states that since the
number of tickets is limited he
wishes to give them to sincere pupils
who are interested in music and are
anxious to attend this concert.

rrHE BIG CIRCUS
Because I've been good, Cousins Bill
and Jane
Toole me to see t he big circus again.
'"re were daring stunts on a lar ge
trapeze,
And as m any more sights as you
could please.
The horse back riders did so m an y
tricks t ill
W e jumped u p a n d down and just
couldn't sit still.
Next cam e the anim als all finely
a r rayed,
Ready to m arch in a great big
parade.
The clowns began to do a funn y jig,
'1 doing so one fe llow lost his wig.
Up and down the isles cam e m en
with lemonade,
And wh en you ordered t h em , ice
cr eam pies were m ad e.
After the circus wa wa n ted to see
The animals in the managerie.
There wer e lions and tigers and
elephants, too.
All trying to get a good look at you.
And .so a fter one long tiring day,
We left it a ll with a whoop and
'ooray !

Club, Thursdays at 2:50.
-There are still a few pupils who
go slipping and sliding around the
halls. The teacher has to speak to
them before they will stop. Their
motto seems to be-"It's all right
if I can get away with it!"

DO YOUR BEST
It takes a little courage
And a lot of self control,
And som e given determination,
If you want to reach a goal.
It takes a deal of striving,
And a firm and stern set chin :
No matter what the battle,
If you're really out to win.
There is a rule in life to guide you
As you see Prosperity,
Never put your wish bone
Where your backbone ought to
be.

TO GO!
Toot! Toot! at the first sound of
Miss Berg's trusty whistle, comes a
sound as tho a thousand feet were
, a mp : ding the gym. The owners of
these feet are all running in one direction to the small opening in the
wall seeming about twelve inches
wid~ when three people are trying
to enter at the same time-the
entrance . to the girl's locker room.
"Where in the world did I put
my clothes?" inquired · one voice
above the pitch of the others.
"Right there in front of you.
You'd forget your head if it wasn't
attached to your shoulders," retor ts a sarcastic voice.
,·, , there's a run in my stocking,
I might have known it would come
now."
"Dotty come and take your brief
case right off my dress. Oh dear
<, it'& all wrinkles. I wish you'd
look where you're putting your
things."
"Has anyone a pin? The hem's
coming out of my dress," spoke a
dismal voice, "Oh, thanks, Alice,
you're a dear."
Suddenly the passing bell rings
thru the halls. Such a commotion,
hurried dashes for books, frantic
hunts for missing articles, hasty
last glances at the mirror punctuated by each one asking twenty
dozen questions and no one answering.
For an interval of three seconds
the locker room is quiet, but almost immediately the sound of another thousand feet is heard hurrying in its direction. Very soon the
same thing will be repeated as
another gym class is formed. Thus
ends all the girls gym periods in
Teaneck High.

PUMKIN SEED
Farmer Jones was looking over
his seeds for spring planting when
among the l-ot was a package labled
"PUMPKIN Seed."
It was early spring, the ploughing and harrowing had been accomplished and . the soil was ready
for planting.
Among the pumpkin seeds was
one little fellow who was of such a
queer color that the rest scorned
him. He was fairly happy, however,
and when Farmer Jones took him
out of the bag where he had spent
the winter, he fairly jumped with
excitement. Soon he was in his bed
of soft brown earth.
First he began to grow and then
a white root pushed him above the
soil. Next he started to swell until
finally he split right in half. Now
the pulp inside each half of the seed
is the substance that the vine feeds
on. So pretty soon a green leaf
found its way to the sunshine. Next
another and then another until
pretty soon green tendrils started
to cling to long grasses, weeds, and
fences.
The seed, now being a vine, started to find some of his old friends.
He creeped and creeped until pretty
soon he came across another vine.
After passing· the time of day he
asked, "How many blossoms have
you brother?" The other vine answered, "Oh! I really don't know."
"Neither do I." answered our friend.
And so they talked for a long while.
It was late in July and our vine
had lost all his golden flowers but
in their place appeared small green
balls. In a few weeks they had grown
larger and a tinge of yellow began

September came. The full rown
pumpkins were a pale yellow. Soon
September and October passed.
Then came November! The pumpkins were a beautiful golden yellow.
They gleamed and shone. Our little
friend gazed at his haughty mates
in wonder for not one vine had as
many or as beautiful golden pumpkins as our vine.
Then came Farmer Jones. He too
was both surprised and delighted.
He immediately decided to send the
biggest pumpkin to the county fair.
At the fair the judges awarded the
pumpkin a blue ribbon. Home came
the pumpkin in Farmer Jones wagon. Next Farmer Jones took the
pumpkin to the kitchen (the rest
of them were stored in the barn)
where he was cut up for pumpkin
pies. These were eaten for Thanksgiving dinner.
Thus the little seed produced the
prize pumpkins.

from little pumpkin seeds grow."

The oak it grows so tall and straight,
And has a trunk so long;

Till spring has sung its song.

And fall on quarry stone,
The tall tree in sun's rays stream,
The oak stands not alone.
