You’re On the Air
7 OU’RE on the air.
Now do your best
You’ve toiled four years
And here's your test. ■'
The world outside is rather tough
With critics near and far
But keep your nerve. Don’t mind the rough
Your best will win by far.
The static of a pessimist
May try to down your hopes
But straighten up and clench your fist
And show you know the ropes.
You’re on the air
Come on; begin
Your game is fair
You’re out to win.
Remember to attempt and fail
Is better than not to try
And as the hammer hits the nail
You’ll reach your goal as times goes by.

HISTORY ON THE AIR
L ET us follow that fellow in the natty military uniform. He is the usher
who will show us to our seats in the magnificent N.H.S. studio. He leads us
to a beautiful crystal theater and down the aisle to our places in the front
row. Here we will he able to sec as well as hear everything that goes on.
The raised platform we see before us is the broadcasting stage. The busy
people on it arc rehearsing their parts for the ensuing program. This con-
tinues up to the last minute. We can sec many microphones but we arc
ignorant of an equal number which arc hidden from view. The draperies
hanging from the walls arc called acoustic curtains and are hung there to
cover defective spots, that is, poor spots in regard to sound. They are not
visible defects. Echoes and other sonorous disturbances must be eliminated
from a radio studio before a good broadcast can be effected. For that reason
the walls, too, are soundproof.
We arc just in time to hear the last strains of the preceding broadcast,
the closing signature of which is the cue for the next presentation. Notice
the strange hush which pervades the room now, the traditional lull before
lhe storm.
A tall dignified looking person attracts our attention as he strides over
to the central microphone. He is the announcer. Listen.
"How do you do everyone. N.H.S., presents a historical program in com-
memoration of the past four years. The General Department marches on
with excerpts from the four dramatic offerings by Masque and Bauble, our
own dramatic association. The plays, in order of their presentation, are:
The Road to Yesterday, The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night, and She
Stoops to Conquer. Sports flashes in the manner of a fou'r'year review bring
us reminiscences of our many victories in athletic broadcasts. We mention
lhe City Basket-ball championship of the 1.931- season -and our conquests in
cross-country and track. The golf championship of New York Citv for the
past three years was included in the sports calendar of the N.H.S. system.
Incidentally this great team takes to the road cn masse this year.”
“We now have the opportunity to listen to a musical selection by the
Music Department. You will recall the great musical presentation a few
months ago, the Harold Dicterow concert. These gifted instrumentalists cer-
tainly render delightful music. We take time out now to make a visit behind
the scenes. Come along.”
Leaving the temple of the air we follow our guide to the Technical
Department. Notice the queer gadgets and mechanical devices, the long tubes
104 ____________________________
HISTORY ON THE AIR-(ContinUed)
and heavy coils, the sparks and flashes, the hums and buzzes. We gaze in
wonder at the complicated apparatus. The men, operating the dials and
switches, arc the technicians and electrical engineers, the people who actually
put the program on the air. Elsewhere in the building other mechanics are
turning out microphones and various machined parts. They handle wood
or metal equally well. A few years ago the Technical Department displayed
its versatility by constituting a man-carrying glider of the primary type, and
successfully flying it. They have even formed a club, and now when they arc not
on the air they arc in the air, soaring over hill and dale in their man-made bird.
The busy fellows smothered in rulers, pens and drawing instruments and
seated on high stools, bending over their slanted desks are the department's
draftsmen. They plan all construction on paper with unmatched accuracy. .
Our guide motions us to follow him. He evidently has another treat in
store for us. He leads us through the lengthy corridors to a room crammed
full of desks behind which sit busy editors and their stenographers. We are
licraldcd by a terrific din caused by the banging typewriters and tabulating
machines. We are in the Commercial Department. Its members arc the
“silent broadcasters ’. They prepare all the script and continuity for the air
waves. The people running in and out belong to the Cooperative Department.
They arc constantly on the move. Sometimes they are out soliciting adver-
tising and time on the air; at other times they are in typing and doing general
office work. This great system could not carry on without these two depart-
ments.
It is time for us to return to the studio. Here we find that the Agri-
cultural Department is presenting notes on advanced methods of agriculture,
scientific farming data and helpful hints to the farmer. The present day
farmer is eager for this type of information, and he turns to the radio to
satisfy his hungry appetite for this material. Radio fears no obstacles. It
extends its benefits in all directions to grateful listeners everywhere.
A musical interlude picks up the program and slowly fades as our an-
nouncer takes the “mike ".
And so we bring to a close our historical anniversary program.
This is N. Tl. S.. signing off our memory program to return to the air
four years hence when we will again review our work. Your announcers were:
James Morton.
William Szabo.

SPORT MEMORIES
I N years to come when we allow our memories to carry us back to the time
when we were students in a school in Elmhurst, there will be pleasant reminders
which will justly allow us to be proud of the fact that we are alumni of
that school. Perhaps the outstanding feature of our four years at Newtown,
was the record compiled by our athletic teams in interscholastic competition.
So great was the glory and so numerous were the honors that our athletic
representatives won, that only a careful survey of the entire period can actually
reveal the extent of their success.
Let us go hack to 1930, wc were freshmen then, dwarfed by our surround-
ings, appalled by the upper classmen, and just a little shocked by the dif-
ference between grammar and high school. That was the year that a Red and
Black baseball team swept through its opponents and acquired the Quccns-
boro championship. It emerged victorious from the semi-finals but finally
met defeat at the hands of Theodore Roosevelt when tha city title was at
stake. The score was 2 to 0. The basketball team went down fighting in a
heart-breaking game when Bryant conquered the Newtown squad by a single
point in the deciding contest. The track team squeaked out a narrow victory
in the Queenshoros, and thereby won its eighth consecutive championship. A
great golf team captured the city title after a hard struggle against numerous
and powerful opponents. In brief, 1930 yielded three borough titles and one
city championship. A truly great year for Newtown.
In 1931 Newtown teams continued on their victorious trend with the
result that two squads annexed borough laurels. One of these, the basketball
quintet, went on to win a city championship. It defeated De Witt Clinton
in the semi-finals, and then registered a triumph over a strong Stuyvesant five
to the tune of 29 to 17. The baseball team won its second Queens title in
a row but lost to James Madison in the semi-finals. A shortage of veterans
played havoc with the cross-country team and as a result Richmond Hill
bested the Red and Black harriers in the group run. For the first time in
nine years, a Newtown track team met defeat in the Queenshoros. The streak
had been started in 1923 and had extended through the years until a stumbling
block, in the form of Bryant, put a stop to Newtown’s domination.
106
SPORT MEMORIES (Continued)
1932 again saw Newtown take the lead in Queens. Red and Black teams
won the basketball, baseball, and golf championships. The golf team went
on to win its second city championship in three years, hut both the basketball
and baseball teams met defeat in their semi-final tests. The cross-country
brigade placed second in Queens competition and third in the city run. In
track, the Newtown forces tied Bryant in the scoring of points hut the meet
was awarded to the wearers of the Blue ami Gold on the strength of the fact
that they had won more first places than their opponents.
During our senior year we witnessed the winning of many additional
honors. Our golf team won its third city championship in four years and
its second in succession, tennis leapt into prominence when the team captured
the Queens title, and finally after a lapse of two years a Newtown squad
again crashed through to win the Track and Field meet. Neither the base-
ball nor the basketball team could come through to the extent of winning a
Queens title. However, a surprisingly powerful cross-country squad com-
pletely swamped all contenders and easily lifted the borough title. A total
of four Queens championships and one city crown was evidence of the sterling
work of our team in what was our fourth and last year.
A complete summary of the entire period shows that during that time
tw'clvc teams won the distinction of being crowned leaders in Queens. Of
these twelve, four managed to win city titles. A really remarkable record
and one of which we have every reason to be proud.
Included in the class of January. 1934 were a few' of those who helped
to keep Newtown in her place in the sun. Among those who graduated
was William Baglivi, veteran second-baseman of the Red and Black nine.
During the four years he played, Newtown was crowned champion of Queens
three times, and in each campaign Bill wras a potent factor in the success of
the team. LawTence Christy, regular short-stop on the 1933 outfit also received
his diploma at that time. Track was represented by Donald Santoianni,
who had been a member of the squad for three years. Don specialized in
the sprints, and placed second in the hundred-yard event when Newtown
SPORT MEMORIES (Continued)
won the 1933 Queensboros. Cross-country’s lone representative was Winfield
Whitehouse a first year man.
The name, Newtown, among other things, stands for athletic prowess.
Natural ability, a fine group of coaches, and an inborn sense of clean play,
arc the things directly responsible for the respect felt for Newtown in sport-
ing circles. Without any one of these, precious little would have been
accomplished; a combination of them has sent Newtown scaling the heights.
We consider ourselves fortunate that we were able to participate to some
degree in the establishment of athletic prestige at our Alma Mater. We sin-
cerely hope that the record that we leave behind us will be materially em-
bellished in the future.
Jack Peyman.
MIST AT NIGHTFALL
Stealing down upon the slumb’ring city,
Unsuspecting of its veiled beauty,
Drifts the prophet of expected heat,
The mist.
Floating o’er the darkened earth and sky,
Elusive, haunting as a murmured sigh,
Moist beauty rises from its fragile presence,
The mist.
Creeping slowly on its fleeting path,
Filling the silent night with blue-black haze,
Moves this mystic child of God and nature,'
The mist.
Margaret R. Ballantyne.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
We, .he graduating class of January 1934, being sound of mind (we hope)
and in full possession of our faculties, do hereby bequeath and donate the

the happiest years of their lives.
Any assistance which they can procure from upper classmen in the search
for seemingly hidden classrooms.
A new traffic rule granting all freshmen two-way privileges on all stair-
cases, up or down.
An abundant store of scouring powder with which their conspicuously
worn public school graduation pins may be kept bright and shiny.
Camouflaged school bags which will escape the eyes of the ever trouble-
some upper classmen.
To the Sophomore Class:
A freshman class which will fully appreciate the importance and superior
intellect of their sophomore schoolmates.
A new program system by which all late sessioners may be home in time
for supper.

The school lunchroom with its delicious meals and restful atmosphere.
To the Junior Class:
More and better excuses for unprepared assignments.
An X-Ray office where everyone speaks in the “correct newspaper pitch”.

A service squad which confines its bothersome duties to keeping loiver
classmen in their place.
All the pleasures which Eli and Wicker’s Economics and Muzzey’s History
afford.
Senior class meetings which will be conducted in an orderly and busi-
nesslike manner.
Senior Year Book Staff members who will not write such nonsense as in
this document.
The same pleasures and benefits which this senior has derived from his
stay at Newtown.
Drawn up and signed this January of 1934 A. D. in the presence of the
class of 1934. Norman Burger,
Executor of Last Will and Testament.

PROSPICIOSCOPE
Success at last; After leu long years of research and experimentation,
it was finally perfected. John Woltz, eminent physicist of 1954 heaved a great
sigh as he leaned back and viewed his latest invention, the Televeyescope.
Together with his faithful first assistant, George Gaynor, he had perfected a
television receiver that could receive images without a transmitter. He now
rose and spoke into a small microphone on his desk.
“Miss Chainski, please have Mr. Gaynor bring my assistants here to
my laboratory and then come in yourself.”
In a few minutes Helen Chainski entered the great laboratory followed
by George Gaynor, Leonard Gale, and Edward Ryan, the last two being the
heads of the aeronautical and automotive departments respectively.
As they entered silently, Mr. Woltz addressed them without looking up
from the coil he was adjusting.
“Gentlemen, I wish you to be the first to witness my new Televeyescope
in operation. Please be seated.”
With this, he extinguished the lights in the room, and turned on the
power. A gasp arose from the tense group as a low hum dispelled the awful
silence. After a series of complicated adjustments the distorted images began
to assume definite form and there on the screen before the wondering eyes
of the assemblage, a clear, concise picture was projected.
On the steps of a great cathedral, Beth Horton, noted society reporter,
is talking to Henry Bausili. Miss Horton has been assigned to cover lhe
wedding of Claire Neuman, who is making her third trip to the altar, while
Mr. Bausili, due to his great renown as a commercial artist, is an invited
guest. As the scene changed to the interior of the immense church, a host
of the city's prominent persons are easily recognized. In a secluded corner
of the anteroom can be seen the former Evelyn Sternberg, a present member
of the “400”, whose charming young daughter attends Patricia Kutger’s ex-
clusive finishing school. Engaged with her in conversation are Albert Fine
and Evelyn Streich, who, under the able direction of producer Arthur Bretz-
field. have scored numerous successes on the legitimate stage. In another part
of the room, politically-famed Norman Burger, perhaps better known as
“Boss” Burger, is talking to Charles Miraglia who has earned a reputation
for himself as the sports editor of one of the leading New’ York papers.
Mingling with the guests is the ever casual Jack Peyman, who has not lost
110 _________________________________
PROSPICIOSCOPE (Continued)
that well-known Barrymore profile. He and his orchestra have attained coast-
to-coast fame for their inimitable interpretations of modern music. A door
on the farther side of the room opens and Tcssic Grachek, renowned for her
beneficial welfare work, arrives in the company of Mary Wickham who is
considered an authority on feminine apparel.
The time for the ceremony has arrived, and the guests move towards the
body of the church. After everyone is seated, the pleasing voice of Elsie Sapcr
singing ‘'Oh, Promise Me” can be heard rising above the swelling tones of
the organ which is played by the nimble fingers of Karol Bauer. In the
middle of the rendition, Mr. William Szabo enters and hurriedly proceeds
to his seat. Mr. Szabo, a distinguished lawyer, has been Miss Neuman's
attorney in her two previous divorce suits. At a signal from the Reverend
William Coyle the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march fill the air. A hush
falls over the gathering as the bride, beautifully attired, begins her march
down the aisle.

Then. Mr. Woltz rose and with a

On a soapbox in the center of Union Square is Joseph Kutger, the fiery
radical, gesticulating wildly and furiously expounding the advantageous prin-
ciples of socialism. An amused member of the few, straggling spectators who
regard the orator with a cynical smile, is Jerome Panics. With him, also
viewing Mr. Kutger with distaste, is his capable secretary. Josephine Cusick.
Across the street, the new Chryscum Theatre looms in full view. Above the
entrance, large letters form the words, "Noted comedian. Ruth Jenico, ap-
pearing in person”. Among the enthusiastic admirers in line before lhe
ticket booth is Helen Leicht, one of the better blues singers, and Eileen Jordan.
the wife of a wealthy banker.

Once more Mr. Woltz rose and twirled the dial. He turned and spoke
to his assistants.

PROSPICIOSCOPE (Continued)
On a spacious roof-garden, groups of tables arc arranged to form a semi-
circle. Diners are seated at these tables, conversing in low tones, while listening
to the fascinating rhythm of the orchestra seated on the stage. The leader,
Lew Steenberg turns and views the patrons with evident satisfaction. At
one table, a smartly-gowned young woman, the former Margaret Ballantyne,
is chatting happily with her husband, the popular American Consul to India.
At another, sits that celebrated organizer of so many successful hunting
expeditions into the Indian jungle, Henry Meyer, who is connected with the
Museum of Natural History in New York City. His companion, Edward
Miekelsen. has for many years been working to perfect an invention expected
to make the irrigation and cultivation of arid spots in India much easier.
Nearby, are seated two energetic young people earnestly contemplating their
fellow-diners. They arc James Morton and Marie Steck, clever correspondents
for an American newspaper. Next to them, another couple is being seated.
These arc Aspasia Barpar, who has just edited her latest book of poetry, and
is now touring the world on her yacht which is commanded by her companion.
Captain Joseph Potter. Just at this moment, a figure advances towards the
table of the American Consul and his wife, and, after a brief conversation
with them, sits down at the same table. He is Francis Dully, brilliant young
missionary who has done much to relieve the sufferings of the ‘■‘untouchables’'
under the caste system of India. In the center of the floor the ingenious
surgeon, Dr. Milton Wiltsek, who has already attained world-wide fame, is
dancing with his charming wife. Another couple on the dance floor is the
delightful society hostess, the former Frieda Rummcll, who is dancing with
her handsome son, a young lad of sixteen. A hush settles over the room
and the dancers resume their scats at the raised hand of Mr. Steenberg.
The orchestra stops and the master of ceremonies, Mr. Sidney Schnippcr,
appears to announce the treat that is in store for the patrons. As he ceases
speaking the famous dancer, Irene Steinman, enters from behind the orchestra.
The orchestra plays slowly and she sways in perfect rhythm to the music.
Mr. Woltz rose and turned off his Telcvcycscopc. There was no need
for words. The fascinated expression on the faces of the watchers was more
than adequate to assure him of its immediate success.

“The next number on this punk-er-ah-swell program will be a play por-
traying our guess as to the reason for the death of a young freshic. The only
things we know are that he was last seen talking to a prominent senior and
that he died of heart-failure. Ladies and gentlemen, we present the play: ’

my toe, walk on your own feet.”
Senior: “Please excuse me. sir. It was all a terrible mistake. I’ll sec that
it doesn’t happen again.”
Freshic: “Am I mortified! After all I’ve heard about the manners of
graduating seniors. It’s mutiny, that’s what it is. It's mutiny. I won’t stand
for it." Suddenly he realizes that the senior had actually apologized. With
a sudden reproachful look at the offender, he passes on to the next world.
