THE ROUND TABLE

THE RECIPE

By Bert'on Braley.

It’s doing your job the best you can And being just to your fellow-man;It’s making money—but holding friends. And staying true to your aims and ends; It’s figuring how and learning why.And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming little and doing much;It’s keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deed;It’s being thorough, yet making ispeed;It’s daring blithely the field of chance While making labor a brave romance;It’s going onward despite defeatAnd fighting staunchly, but' keeping sweet;It’s being clean and it’s playing fair;It’s laughing lightly at Dame Despair;It’s looking up at the stars above It’s struggling on with the will to win,But' taking loss with a cheerful grin;It’s sharing sorrow and work and mirth And making better this good old earth.

THE ROUND TABLE 3

Christmastide! What a fine time for the first issue of the Round Table! May the Round Table, too, speak good cheer and pleasant greetings to all of its friends. May it, too, look to the future for support and further pros­perity. May it feel security based upon the willing co-operation of the students of Red Bank High School.

The Round Table is established as an up-to-date school magazine worthy of the best efforts of its editorial staff, its business managers, and its con­tributors, and worthy also to compete with other periodicals of its class. But since no magaine can hope for future success dependent upon a reputation it may have gained, much less can the Round Table.

Under the very able leadership of the class of 1922, our magazine grew both in literary and financial efficiency. But that class has accomplished its work, and now has passed into the keeping of the class of 1923, such a standard of efficiency for the Round Table that any class will find it dif­ficult to surpass that standard.

Yet, there is much to do, for the present management must do as well

and even better than that of the past. Therefore, it is essential that every member of the high school be inter­ested in the success of his paper. Not only must he want to read it, but he must also want to make it readable, which means to write stories, notes, poetry, jokes, news—anything that will add to the interest of the paper. He must 'be willing to give time and to use effort whenever needed, to sacri­fice, if necessary self gratification, to be alive—watchful at all times so that he may not lose anything of real value to his paper.

With such interest and such spirit, it is possible for the Round Table to be­come a leading school journal.

The Round Table of the Red Bank High School greets you, its readers.

Miss Stanger. --------- o---------

The class of ’23 desires to outdo all previous classes in its management of The Round Table. It stands in a fair way to accomplish this seemingly im­possible feat, as almost all of this year’s staff served on last year’s; but it has a serious handicap: this year’s editor has had no previous experience along

4 THE ROUND TABLE

journalistic lines, therefore he needs the help of everyone concerned. He knows that if every member of the school will do “his bit” he, with such help, can make all departments of The Round Table—good—better—best. If youhave a story or a bit of humor or better still, an idea for improving the mag­azine, send it in! Your idea may be just what is needed to make The Round Table better than ever before. You can at least subscribe for the magazine and you should do more to 'help the “poor over-worked editors.” If you will do a little more than yourshare, we “sure will have some maga- • *» zme.

---------o---------“BREAKS”

During the past football season some­one either in sympathy with Red Bank or else not, may have said of the win­

ning team, “Oh! They got all the ‘breaks.’ ” Why should they get “all the breaks?” The Rutger’s “Targum" says, “The breaks in a game often come to the team which is on its toes and ready to make the most of such breaks.” Isn’t such usually the case? It is not just “dum luck” that gives a team the “breaks,” it is the fact that the team is ready to take advantage of every fumble and misstep which its op­ponents may make, and so win the games. If the team has the edge on its opponents it is almost sure to win. “Getting the breaks” applies not only to football, but also to other things in life. The fellow “on his toes” and ready to take advantage of every op­portunity is the fellow who succeeds in high school, in business or in fact wher­ever he may be. It is he who “Gets the breaks.”

THE ROUND TABLE 5

STOP! LOOK! READ! WRITE!

Don’t forget the Story Contest! !This contest is to get' material to

be used in every issue of The Round Table. One story was handed in for this number. Isn’t is possible that from a student body of three hundred, at least ten of that number are 'willing to write and can write stories? Surely, no one wants the contest “called off” be­cause of inability to write a story or lack of interest in writing one. If you don’t know all about this easy way of making yourself rich, read about it on your assembly room bulletin board. 'If you don’t know all about it then, see the editor.

DOUBLE-CROSSING CUPID

Another letter had been carefully smuggled into the house for Rosemary without the knowledge of her father. Having received it, Rosemary ran quickly to her room where is'he eagerly tore it open with a hair pin. “Oh, what a wonderful letter! He’s just like the knights of olden times,” she breath­lessly exclaimed. Then crossing the room, she drew from its hiding place in the bottom of her jewel case a creased and worn little newspaper clip­ping, and again she read—

“I am a prosperous business man with no predominant faults. I would like to correspond with a respectable young lady having matrimonial inten­tions. Signed,

Reginald Clair.”

6 THE ROUND TABLE

How she loved the small bit of paper which represented the one romantic event of her life!

“Rosemary, Oh, Rosemary,” she heard her father call.

“Yes, father, I’ll be right down.”Again hiding the precious paper she

frantically brushed back her many bobbed curls and ran down stairs to the lonely dinner with her father.

Since both were occupied with their own thoughts, there was very little conversation between father and daughter. At last' the dinner was over! Rosemary’s father seemed as anxious to leave the house as she was to get back upstairs.

Tonight was to mark the end—or was it the beginning of her adventure ? Since he had begged her in his last letter, she determined to elope that night with her very sentimental lover whom she never had seen.

She noticed black clouds in the east but what did she care for such trifles at a time like this! Even when it grew dark and began to rain she had little thought of the weather.

The old mill was to be the place of meeting, for such had been romantic­ally suggested by Rosemary’s lover. It was far over by the river, -but in spite of the increasing clouds, after she had dressed again, she started hap­pily forth.

At last ishe reached the place, and, she recognized the faint outlines of a human figure coming towards her. The only sound was the patter of rain! Her heart gave a queer little jump as •he drew nearer. She had hoped to see him but no, it was too dark.

He gallantly helped her into his car. Why, how familiar that seat felt, but of course there were thousands of the

same make. Anyway she couldn’t see clearly enough to be certain. They drove on, blissfully content and per­fectly at ease, for did they not know each other thru their many letters? How easy it was to be near him; his presence seemed almost familiar. He was an ideal lover and she was satisfied.

Presently the car stopped with a jerk, and Reginald lovingly assisted his (sweetheart to the ground. They started up the steps to the minister’s house. The minister expecting them, had left the porch light on.

At last she could see the face of her beloved! Moving closer, she looked up expectantly------ —

“Why—why—why father! !”—D. H., ’23.

---------o---------A LITTLE EXCITEMENT

Lieut. Dick White was busy! For two days he had been very carefully examining a new plane which had ar­rived at the flying field that week. He was now ready to try it out, but before doing so, he wanted to become thor­oughly familiar with it.

This plane was the first of its kind. It 'had a gyroscopic stabilizer and auto­matic controls, so that the pilot could set it in a certain direction and it would hold to its course. It was also pos­sible to set the control so that in a certain time the plane would land itself. A few minutes later Dick put away his tools, satisfied that on the morrow, if anything went wrong, it would be no fault' of his. After getting out of his overalls and cleaning up, he went to the bungalow near headquarters, which served him and his bride as a home. As the afternoon was hot, Helen and he decided to take a short flight in a plane Dick had just bought from the

THE ROUND TABLE 7

government. Helen was in the obser­ver’s seat and Dick had just started the engine when an orderly came up and said that the commandant desired to see 'him. As Dick went off, he called back to Helen to shut off the gas. As she climbed into the pilot’s seat to do as he had said, she thought “Why not surprise Dick by going up alone?” Ac­cordingly, she gave the plane sufficient gas and made a pretty jump off. When Dick came out to the field again and saw the plane circling overhead, he was more than surprised, he was scared stiff. He knew that although Helen knew something about flying, she was by no means an experienced aviatrix and furthermore she had never flown alone. Dick didn’t stop to think, he just acted! He ran to the hangar in which the new plane was being housed, wheeled the plane out, had the engine going, and was in the air almost in less time than it takes to tell.

By this time all the men, not on duty, were watching to see what was going to happen. Slowly Dick rose until he was above the other plan, then he maneuvered until he was flying about ten feet above and a little in front of the other, at the isame time locking the controls and setting the landing device of his own plane. Those below saw him climb out onto the wing and then down onto the undercarriage. For an instant they saw him hang by the hands then drop into space. As he let go a cry was wrung from the lips of all on the ground, because at almost the .same instant that Dick released his hold, the other plane for some unknown reason headed straight up into the air. Death at that instant stared both Dick and Helen in the face, for if the propeller hit Dick, as it seemed it must, he would

be cut to pieces, the propeller would be shattered and Helen, Dick, and plane would crash to the earth. Dick must have been born under a lucky star be­cause the propeller just missed him and as he fell, he felt something hit his arm. As he grabbed at it his hand closed around a bar. He held tight, although his arm was nearly yanked from its socket. He had caught hold of the undercarriage of Helen’s plane by some good fortune, lit was then a simple matter to climb into the observer’s seat and land the plane by means of the duplicate controls. Helen had fainted. That was probably the reason the plane had changed its course so suddenly. A little water and smelling salts soon brought her around and a few minutes later the other plane landed, guided by its automatic controls.

THE REFORMATION OF A PESSIMIST

The Zenida Club had just finished its nightly game of poker. The men were lounging around, smoking and laugh­ing. All their jokes were directed to­wards poor Jones, who had just lost nearly a hundred dollars in the game.

“Well, Jones, old sport,” said one of them, “You do look rather down in the mouth. What’s the matter?”

“You’d feel just the same, if you were I,” said Jones. “Just lost my last cent and the old man won’t give me any more for two weeks. I wish I were dead!” he added bitterly.

“Ah, but Jonesy, my boy,” laughed the other, “You’d have a hot time after death! ”

“Nothing could be worse than this,” growled Jones, as he flung himself

8 THE ROUND TABLE

angrily out of the door of the club- room.

As soon as 'he reached his home, Jones tumbled into bed. He lay there for some time brooding over his mis­fortune of the evening.

“Yes,” thought Jones, “I’d rather die than live without money, even if I did go to the warmer regions. Oh, well, guess I’ll try to go to sleep, I feel rather ill.”

Suddenly he shivered convulsively and lay still and rigid. Then, a very queer thing happened to Jones, al­though it did not seem odd to him. He found 'himself or his spirit, (he did not know which) standing by his bed­side, looking at the Thing which had once been himself. Then, he began to fall through space. Down—down— down—went poor Jones. It seemed he would never stop. When he finally did stop, it was in a dark, gloomy place, a short distance from a black cavern, from which fire and a horrible black smoke issued. He did not want to enter the cavern, but he was drawn slowly to it, as by a magnet. He was forced to enter, terribly afraid, hearing a confused mixture of shrieks, moans, and prayers for forgiveness. He then found himself in a large place which seemed to be all on fire. Hn the center, stood Satan himself, grinning as if en­joying it all hugely, all the while en­couraging a horde of small imps. These servants of Satan circled about their new victim, pinching and prodding him with their tiny pitchforks.

“A new one! Master, a new one!” they cried in glee.

Satan looked at him; “Your turn will come soon,” he said maliciously, and continued to torture the con­demned.

Many and terrible were the tortures thus devised. The poor victims were first slung on Satan’s great pitchfork, and thrown into a black pit, in the bottom of which, were lizards, snakes, toads, and spiders. Then they were taken out, and beaten on alL parts of their bodies with spiked clubs. After that they were made to stand in a fire. Directly from the fire, the condemned were pushed into a pool of water, in which great pieces of ice floated. They were then hung to the top of the cav­ern by means of fastening a row of hooks in the flesh of their shoulders. From there, they were thrown into the pit' of reptiles, and the same tortures began once more.

Suddenly, poor Jones, his eyes dilat­ed with terror, saw Satan approaching him, his pitchfork extended, and grin­ning horribly. Nearer and nearer, Satan moved, slowly but relentlessly towards him.

Just then Jones woke up, trembling, and with a splitting headache.

“No more Zenida Club for me,” he said through chattering teeth. And later, as he was dressing, “What a nice world it is after all!”

MAGIC IN THE WAR

(Rewritten from a story in an old Cue;Albany Academy)

The great audience was hushed and awed! Jean Nole’, the great ven­triloquist, had at last returned to the stage after having served in the War with the A. E. F. and later having traveled in Europe. It had been four long years since his last appearance on the stage in New York and he, “The World’s Greatest Voice Thrower,” had been almost forgotten. But those of his

FO O TB A LL TEAM — 1922

FO O T B A LL SQUAD— 1922

THE ROUND TABLE 9

audience who had known him in pre­war days were satisfied that he had lost none of 'his old time magic as he walked back and forth on the stage and conversed with voices in the air.

But our istory does not deal with Jean Nole’. It deals with John Nelson, ex­army sapper and outpost man who, after all, is really no one other than Jean Nole’ himself. It was just such a night four years ago when, after an unusually brilliant exhibition of his genius, Nole’ had walked out of the theater, gone to a recruiting station, signed up as John Nelson and the next' day had lost himself in a training camp.

Several months later, Nelson is again heard of, but this time he is in a shell hole outpost somewhere in Flanders just beyond the American’s barbed wire entanglements. It is night but by the light of an occasional flare we see that Nelson is not the immaculate Jean Nole’ of yester-month, for his uniform is faded with many washings and for the most part covered with “Flanders Mud.” The night is dark with not one single star in the heavens. As the hours pass the flares light up the sky less often until finally darkness reigns for fifteen minutes or more at a time. Suddenly we see Nelson straighten up! He strains his eyes and ears! Does he hear something or is his imagination playing tricks on him again? Finally, off to the right, he sees figures moving and now and then he hears a subdued voice. He discovers that the figures are enemy scouts sent ahead to cut the barbed wire so that their men can easily penetrate to the first line without a heavy preliminary barrage. John watches silently for several minutes when suddenly he has an inspiration!

In a very guarded voice he calls out,

“Machine gun nest, number one!” ; and off a few yards to the right, seem­ingly an answering voice returns, “Ma­chine gun nest number one on guard, sir, and anxious as H— to fire at those d— Bosches out there.” This last, lower than the first, but still loud enough to be heard by the Germans. As soon as nest number one has re­ported, other nests report, some giving a simple report, others like the first chafing at the authority which makes them withhold their fire. The Germans are so very much alarmed at finding themselves at such close range to enemy machine guns that' they quickly retire. More surprised than they, however, are the guards on duty in the trenches, for the guards know that no nests are out there. When John comes off duty, he is immediately surrounded by his com­rades who demand to know who was reporting from places where no men were stationed. Then Nelson explains to them that he had only resorted to his old profession for the moment to give the Germans a little scare.

Apparently the ruse was even more effective than intended for the Germans were exceedingly careful to leave that particular stretch of trench very much alone for some time.

AN UNREGRETTABLE ADVENTURE

—“Now get a good story! ”With this parting admonition from

his chief, David Smith, Cub reporter for the Exeter Gazette, rushed out of the office.

The object of his breathless haste was the news, that had quickly passed through the town, of two inmates, “lif­ers,” of the nearby State prison having

10 THE ROUND TABLE

escaped and being now somewhere in the vicinity.

“Here is a chance to square myself with Mabel,” muttered David as he ran to the station. Having been chided by his best girl that he never posed as a hero or ever did anything heroic, he vowed that he would do something now; consequently he had gotten a job as cub reporter on the paper and had been given this opportunity to see what he was worth.

Arriving at the station he was just in time to hop into the auto as with a roar it shot past and was soon lost to view in a cloud of dust. The car had been hired by the Sheriff, a grim and determined man, who was now issuing orders to his posse, five in number. Much to his chagrin David was not given any orders since he, so the sheriff thought, would only muddle mat­ters. However, he resolved he would show that posse a thing or two.

Shooting over a tunnel and gliding down a couple of blocks the car with a grinding of brakes, stopped near a stone quarry, the place where the fugitives were supposed to be hidden. Each man took his position and David being left alone, walked along the railroad tracks. As the posse were searching around the place, a freight train began to roll silowly out of the yards. David sud­denly realized the sheriff’s mistake. In the excitement no one had thought of guarding the tracks and now with the freight slowly going out, what better chance than that for the fugitives to escape?

David at once began to yell and wave his arms to attract the attention of the posse, but they either didn’t hear or else they didn’t care, for no one answered him. His fears were con­

firmed when he saw two men in crim­inal garb suddenly leave their hiding place and with heads low, run for the train. Hastily looking about and seeing no one they caught hold of one of the cars and hauled themselves up. David, waiting till the last car was abreast of him ran out and catching hold swung himself up, also.

The moment of battle had arrived, but he had formed no plan. He didn’t know just what step to take. He lay low in order to watch for any other move the criminals might make. The train steadily moved on its way bearing two desperate men, who would stop at nothing to gain their liberty, and a poor cub reporter. He climbed the box car and seated himself on top where, im­mediately, he was spotted by the fugi­tives. He could see them gesticulating fiercely but could no more understand what they said than the proverbial man in the moon. Their meaning was quite clear however, when he saw their men­acing attitude. He resolved to "stick it out” and hold his ground if possible.

Knowing, as he did that they were desperate characters, he should have thought twice before venturing such a move, but this was no time for mis­givings; he must act, and act quickly. As he kept his eye on the criminals and they on him he saw the tunnel, over which he had passed a short time before, loom up dark and forbidding. Aware of the plight the fugitives were in he wished to warn them of their danger. The engine of the train was already swallowed by the tunnel, and suiting his thoughts to action, he began to yell and point with his finger towards the tunnel. Hastily turning around the criminals were just in time to gaze at the tunnel which seemed to be meet-

T H E ROUND TA BLE ii

ing them. Too late! As they were about’ to leap off, the arch of the tunnel struck them both insensible, throwing them to the ground.

David hastily getting off ran to them, where he found one stretched out with his back across the rail of a siding and the other lying on the ground. Seeing them thus he ran for aid. He met the chief and his men who by this time had guessed the prisoners’ escape, and had followed in the car. Quickly in­forming them of the circumstances he left the posse there while he and the chauffeur rushed for a doctor. The doctor was quickly brought. He ex­amined the criminals, and found that' both had little chance, if any, of living, for one had broken his back and the other had fractured his skull.

The criminals were taken to a hos­pital but a higher justice than man’s had called them to a final reckoning. Needless to say David was the hero of ■the occasion and he answered modestly to the hundred and one questions that were poured at him. He earned the persona! commendation of the editor and also a reward of $10,000 which had just' been issued for the joint cap­ture of the criminals. But he was hap­piest of all when Mabel, blus'hingly praised him for his good work. A look at Mabel’s left hand will show why David is the happiest fellow alive.

Hl-Y NOTES

Last year, a club known as the Hi-Y was organized among some of the boys of the Senior High School. This organ­ization is a branch of the Y. M. C. A., and has for its slogan, “Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sport, and Clean Scholarship.” Its purpose is to raise, in a quiet way, the moral standard of the student body. Several meetings and several sporting contests, such as swimming races in the pool at Asbury Park, were held.

This year the first meeting was held in the Globe hotel where a fine ban­quet was enjoyed. Among those pres­ent were Mr. and Mrs. Seiber, Mr. and Mrs. Lovett, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Smith, and Dr. and Mrs. Hausman. Following the dinner, which was well seasoned by songs and cheers, Mr. Seiber expressed his thanks for having in the High School a club Which stood for a higher morale of the students. Dr. Hausman’s address on “The Fundamentals of Suc­cess,” was of great interest and value to all.

A review of the work of the past year and the prospects for the future, given by Mr. Joseph C. Smith, leader of the group, was followed by adjourn­ment.

The club stands for Christian Char­acter. Surely every boy who wants to stand for the best things should join the club and thus lend his support to the elimination of the worst, and the cultivation of the best, in school and community life.

12 THE ROUND TABLE

SENIOR NOTES

The first meeting of the Senior Class was held early this year with Miss Marie Johnson presiding.

The following officers were elected to serve during t'he present school year:

President, Mr. Roger Francis;Vice Pres., Mr. Joseph Irwin;Secretary, Mr. C. Lore Raver;Treasurer, Mr. Wm. E. Braisted, Jr.Other necessary business was trans­

acted, after which the meeting ad­journed.

The Class met again on Nov. 1 st, at which meeting plans for the Senior dance were discussed; a suggested date being Friday, December 1st. Com­mittees to have charge of the dance were appointed.

The Seniors are selling candy this year as is their custom and privilege, and already considerable profit has

been received. The Candy Sales Com­mittee consists of: Mr. Theodore Nest-ler, chairman; and Messrs. Raver, Hodgkiss, Ryder and Jahnes.

The Officers of the Senior Class re­quest' the cooperation of every member in fulfilling all the obligations which their offices require and they hope that the Class of 1923 will finish its course here the most successful, both finan­cially and in every other way, of any class in the history of Red Bank High School. It is the individuals that make or break the group so its up to you. Senior, to make your class the success it ought to be.

By Request.Will all Seniors please pay their

class dues promptly? Cash is more plentiful now than it will be just' before graduation. Receptions and Com­mencement are coming and funds are

THE ROUND TABLE 13

necessary to conduct them in a style befitting the Class of 1923. Before re­ceiving a diploma the prospective grad­uate must have fulfilled all his financial obligations to his class, so if you expect to receive a sheepskin you may better insure your graduation with a clean record by paying your dues now. To pay your dues promptly is not only business-like, but it is your duty to your class. PAY UP NOW.

--------- o---------JUNIOR NOTES

Early in the term a meeting of the Junior A class was called and held in Mrs. Kerr’s room. The class president, Miss Matthews, presided.

The members of the Junior B class were also invited to attend this meeting. During the course of the meeting it was decided that these two classes be con­sidered in the future, as one. The officers and colons of the Junior A class are to be retained.

The class pennant has been ordered and it is to be received soon.

Misses Margaret Morris, Marion Courvoisier and Virginia Sandt were appointed to serve on the Ring Com­mittee.

Later on this committee presented for approval several rings. The rings were very well selected, therefore much credit is due the committee for display­ing such good taste. It is hoped that the rings will soon be received and all Juniors know that envy will cause manyeyes to turn green.

¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥Through this paper the members of

the Junior Class desire to express their thanks to the members of the Com­mittee on Rings for their very efficient and highly successful efforts in securing the Class Ring.

FOOTBALL

R. H. S., 19; ALUMNI, 0

The High School football team began its season with a rush, defeating the Alumni on Saturday, September 23rd, at the Oriole field, by the score of 19 to 0. The High School boys started scoring in the first quarter and were never in danger of loosing the game. The first touchdown of the season was scored by Wolcott after Captain Irwin had brought the ball within a few yards of the goal line by a twenty- yard run around right end. The first quarter ended shortly afterwards with the High School team leading with a score of 6 to 0.

During the second quarter the High School team scored again. The Alumni were pushed slowly but surely towards their goal line, and six more points were added to our score When Wolcott brought the ball over for his second touchdown. The period ended soon after the ball was again put in play, with the High School team leading by the score of 12 to 0.

Neither team succeeded in scoring in t'he third period. The alumni defense was strengthened and the team strove to keep the score from getting higher. The third period ended with

i6 THE ROUND TABLE

the score 12—0 in favor of the High School.

In the fourth quarter the school team broke the Alumni defense and scored another touchdown when Hodgkiss took the ball around left end. Another point was added when Lartaud suc­cessfully kicked the goal. The game ended with the High School team lead­ing by the score of 19—0. The fea­tures of the game were the line plung­ing of Wolcott and Hendrickson, the end running of Captain Irwin and the work of Nestler and LesL on the line. One victory for Red Bank boys.

R. H. S., 18; FREEHOLD, 6The second game of the season was

played at Freehold on Saturday, Oct. 7, 1922, beneath a cloudy sky and on a slippery field, but Red Bank won its second game by a score of 18—6. Red Bank scored its first six points after a few minutes of play. The team car­ried the ball to Freehold’s ten yard line, and Irwin scored the first touch­down, with a run around end. Red Bank kicked off and the ball was put into play on Freehold’s thirty yard line. The first quarter ended a few minutes later with Red Bank leading by a score of 6—0.

Both teams played hard ball in the second period, but' after eight minutes of play Brannin caught a pass from Lartaud and raced twenty-yards for the second touchdown of the game. The second quarter then ended with the score 12—0 in Red Bank’s favor.

Neither team scored in the third period, both teams played good foot­ball and seemed evenly matched. But Red Bank again broke through the Freehold defense in the fourth quarter, and after a series of line plunges and end runs Hendrickson carried the ball

across for another touchdown. Red Bank kicked off and Freehold received the ball on her forty yard line. The county-seaters then lost the ball when they failed to make first down on line plunges. Red Bank took the ball in mid-field and was slowly advancing to­wards Freehold’s goal, when Irwin fumbled the slippery ball after being tackled, and enabled a Freehold player to run sixty yards for a touchdown. The game ended a few minutes later with Red Bank leading by a score of 18—6. Two victories for Red Bank boys.

R. H. S., 32; SOUTH ORANGE, 0The third game of the season was

played on the Oriole Field, October 12th, with South Orange, and resulted in a defeat for Orange. Score 32—0. Red Bank played one of the best games of the season, and no alibies were offered by the opponents who knew they were outclassed in every part of the game. Neither team scored in the first period, and the ball went from one team to the other. Red Bank players seemed a bit nervous in this period, but they gradually gained confidence when South Orange failed to break the defense. The period ended with the score tie: Red Bank 0, South Orange 0.

In the second quarter Red Bank started with a rush. After a few min­utes of play Captain Irwin broke around left end for the first touchdown of the game, and Lartaud added an­other point by a perfect drop kick. Red Bank kicked off and Orange re­ceived the ball on her forty yard line, but lost it when she failed to make first down. Red Bank received the ball and Captain Irwin again ran for a touch­down around right end. The first half ended a few minutes after with Red

THE ROUND TABLE 17

Bank leading by a score of 13—0.Red Bank started another furious

attack in the third period, which netted then nineteen points. The first touch­down of this quarter was made by Lartaud on a trick play through center. The play was cleverly worked and the South Orange players tackled Hend­rickson who did not have the ball. Red Bank again kicked off and South Orange received the ball on her thirty yard line. Knowing that she could not gain through Red Bank’s line or around the ends, Orange started an aerial at­tack. A few plays later Hodgkiss inter­cepted one of these passes and ran 'forty yards for a touchdown. Lartaud again added another point to our score by another drop kick. South Orange kicked off and Red Bank received the ball on her forty yard line. After a series of line bucks Irwin broke around right' end for the third touchdown of the period. This ended the third quar­ter with Red Bank leading by a score of 32—0.

South Orange made a desperate stand in the last period and neither team scored, so the game ended with Red Bank again victorious by a score 32—0. 'No special credit' can be given to any one player of the team. The team played as a unit and well deserved the victory. One thing that Coach Sieber feared was that the boys would need to buy new hats. Be careful team, Leonardo might prove to be much harder. Three victories for Red Bank.

R. H. S., 12; LEONARDO, 7

The fourth game of the season was played with Leonardo at Red Bank on Friday, October 20th. The game proved to be one of the hardest fought and one of the most interesting con­

tests of the season. Neither team was able to score in the first quarter, the ball going first to one side and then to the other. This period ended with the score, Leonardo 0, Red Bank 0.

Leonardo started the fireworks in the second quarter and slowly but surely pushed Red Bank back to their goal line. Then the Leonardo team pushed the ball over for a touchdown and added an extra point by a drop kick. The first half ended soon after this with the score Leonardo 7, 'Red Bank 0.

Red Bank showed more fight in the third quarter and after pushing Leon­ardo to her thirty yard line, Lartaud ran for Red Bank’s first touchdown on his trick play through center. Red Bank kicked off and Leonardo received the ball on her thirty yard line. The period ended with the ball in Leon­ardo’s possession on her thirty-five yard line. The score was still in Leonardo’s favor; Leonardo 7, Red Bank 6. The fourth quarter opened with the ball in Leonardo’s possession. Leonardo made first down and was pushing Red Bank up the field. With five minutes to play Leonardo still held the ball on her forty yard line. Then Leonardo fumbled, and Nestler of Red Bank re­covered the ball near Leonardo’s twenty-five yard line. Irwin ran around right' end for a ten yard gain. A series of line plunges brought the ball within a yard of Leonardo’s goal, from where Lartaud went through center for the second touchdown. Red Bank kicked off and Leonardo was downed on her thirty yard line. After a series of short gains the game ended with Red Bank again victorious by a score of 12—7. Four victories for Red Bank boys.

i8 THE ROUND TABLE

R. H. S„ 53; TOMS RIVER, 0

The fifth game proved to be rather easy for the Red Bank team, and Toms River was overwhelmed by a score of 53—0, on Saturday November 4, 1922, at the Oriole Field. Red Bank scored in every quarter and after the first few minutes of play the outcome of the game was never in doubt.

Hendrickson scored the first six points for the Red and Gray and six more were soon added when Lartaud carried the ball across the goal line. Red Bank scored two more points on a safety in this period, and the first quarter ended with Red Bank leading by a score of 14—0.

After a few minutes of play in the second period Captain Irwin broke around left end for another touchdown and this time an extra point was added by a drop kick by Lartaud. During the last minutes of the first half, Captain Irwin again ran for a touchdown around left end. The period ended with Red Bank leading by a score of 27—0.

The third quarter opened with a rush and it proved to be a big one for Red Bank’s team. Captain Irwin started the scoring by another long run and a pass from Lartaud to Brannin, scored an extra point. Red Bank kicked off and Toms River was downed on her thirty yard line. Brannin, Red Bank’s right end, intercepted a pass and ran forty yards for another touch­down. Red Bank again kicked off and Toms River was held for downs on her thirty yard line. Captain Irwin again carried the ball across for another touchdown. Another point was added by a pass from Lartaud to Brannin. The third quarter ended with Red Bank leading by a score of 47—0.

The fourth quarter was played with a majority of Red Bank’s second team in the line up. The seconds held Toms River on even terms, and Hendrickson scored the last touchdown of the game on a line plunge. The game ended with Red Bank victorious by a score of 53—0. Five victories for Red Bank.

R. H. S., 12; NEWMAN PREP., 7

On Friday, Nov. 10, 1922, the Red Bank team journeyed to Lakewood to battle Newman Prep., and won by a score 12— 7. Red Bank’s success in this game was due largely to the send off the school gave the team. Never before in the history of Red Bank High School has any team received such support from the student body. Prac­tically every student' of both the Junior and Senior High Schools was present to do his part, and every member of the team will never forget the songs that were sung and the cheers that were given* that noon.

Students who were in the High School last year and years before notice how school spirit has developed. We have always had the spirit in school but lacked a leader to start songs and cheers. We have most certainly found an able and capable leader in Mr. Smith. Every pupil of the High School thanks him for his fine work, in estab­lishing a good cheering section that is worthy of representing Red Bank High.

The squad of Red Bank players, numbering about thirty, arrived in Lakewood after a long journey through the pines, and the game started about 3:20 P. M. Our boys did all of their scoring in the first quarter, and they piled up a lead that gave them a victory.

After a few minutes of play Captain Irwin broke around right end for the

THE ROUND TABLE 19

first touchdown of the game and soon afterwards Brannin completed a pass from Irwin and ran for another touch­down. The period ended soon after with Red Bank leading by a score 12— 0.

Neither team scored in the second or third periods and at the end of the third quarter Red Bank still led by a score of 12—0. During the first part of the fourth quarter neither team scored; but towards the last part of the game Newman scored by pushing the ball over, after Red Bank had been penalized five yards for offside.

Newman kicked off and Red Bank drove the ball within three yards of her goal line. Another touchdown would have been made had not the game ended.

The team would have scored higher, if it had not met' with so many obsta­cles. First the referee; second, the team played without three first team players; third, the boys played on a strange field; fourth, the team was forced to play straight football owing to the presence of Lakewood. Never­theless the team won and made a rec­ord for six consecutive victories.

R. H. S., 15; LAKEWOOD, 7The most important and one of the

most interesting games was played at the Oriole Field on Saturday, Novem­ber 18th, between Lakewood and Red Bank High schools, the latter being victorious, after a hard fought game. The score was 15— 7. Neither team scored in the first quarter, the ball going first to one team and then to the other. But in the second period Lakewood scored the first touchdown of the game with a long forward pass, and added an extra point with a drop kick. The second quarter ended a few minutes

after, with the score in Lakewood’s favor, 7—0.

The third quarter opened with Irwin kicking the ball across Lakewood’s goal line, from where it was brought out to Lakewood’s twenty yard line. Lake- wood then lost the ball on downs, and a few plays later Irwin circled right end for Red Bank’s first touchdown. Lar- taud’s kick fell short and the third quarter ended with Lakewood still lead­ing with a score of 7— 16.

The fourth period began with the ball in Lakewood’s possession, but in Red Bank’s territory. Lakewood was held for three downs and on the fourth she threw a long forward pass that was intercepted by Captain Irwin who ran sixty yards for another touchdown. Irwin again kicked off, the ball going behind the goal line, and it was brought out to Lakewood’s twenty yard line. Lakewood lost the ball on downs and Lartaud made Red Bank’s victory cer­tain by kicking a field goal from Lake­wood’s thirty yard line. The game ended shortly afterward with Red Bank again victorious by a score 15— 7. Special mention should be made of Captain Irwin’s long runs; Lartaud’s field goal and Scotch’s interference which enabled Irwin to score his second touchdown. Seven consecutive victor­ies for Red Bank boys.

R. H. S., 22; LEONARDO, 0The boys finished their season on

Thanksgiving Day by defeating Leon­ardo for the second time in a fast ex­citing game.

Since the day was ideal for football, over 2,000 people saw the contest. Both teams started their very best' eleven.

In the first quarter, Irwin kicked off for Red Bank and Leonardo was

2 0 THE ROUND TABLE

downed on their 20 yard line. After several useless attempts of line plays, Leonardo fumbled and Irwin recovered the ball for Red Bank. Red Bank failed to gain against Leonardo’s line and Lartaud dropped back for a drop kick. He kicked from a hard angle but the ball cleared the goal by inches, giving Red Bank the lead, 3—0.

Irwin again kicked off for Red Bank and the ball seesawed up and down the field. The quarter ended with the ball in Red Bank’s territory. The score now isitood 3—0 in Red Bank’s favor.

The second quarter proved very dangerous to Red Bank on account of the terrific line plunging of Steinmuller. The ball was worked for downs by Leonardo to Red Bank’s four yard line, but the line stiffened and Leon­ardo lost the ball on downs.

Irwin kicked the ball back to his 30 yard line and Leonardo repeated their previous performance by working the ball to Red Bank’s 5 yard line.

Again the local team braced up and took the ball on downs, Irwin kicking out of danger after a few futile line plays. The half ended with neither team in danger, the score still standing. Red Bank, 3; Leonardo, 0.

Between the halves, excellent cheer­ing was given by both schools.

Nestler, who had been replaced by Muller, and Lartaud who had been re­placed by Klat'sky in the second quarter were both back in the second half.

The third quarter brought little en­couragement to either side, as the teams being evenly matched, kept seesawing up and down the field, neither side scoring or even becoming dangerous. The quarter ended with the score un­changed.

The last quarter proved to be the

most exciting one the Red Bank team has played this season.

By a brilliant mixture of end runs and forward passes, the Red and Gray team pushed the ball to Leonardo’s four yard line. Here they were stopped dead for three downs, but on the fourth, Hendrickson ran the ball around left end for the remaining distance. Lartaud failed the drop kick, leaving the score: R. B. H. S., 9; Leonardo, 0.

Irwin kicked the ball to Leonardo’s 40 yard line, where Red Bank held them for downs. From there, Irwin threw a beautiful pass to Brannin, who carried the ball within inches of Leon­ardo s chalk line. Lartaud carried the ball across on the next play, but failed the extra point.

Again Leonardo received, but lost the ball on downs. Red Bank worked the ball slowly down the field when Taylor received a pretty forward pass and covered the remaining distance for Red Bank’s third touchdown. The extra ,point was made by a pass from Lartaud to Irwin.

The game ended with Leonardo having the ball in mid-field.

The final score was 22—0 in favor of Red Bank High School. The whole Red Bank team played a great brand of football and all deserve much credit.

Steinmuller was the outstanding Leonardo player, both on offensive and defensive work for his team.

This made Red Bank’s eighth con­secutive victory with no defeats for the entire season, while scoring a total of 184 points against their opponents, 27.

--------- o---------GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

Girls’ Basketball has started and though no games had been played up

THE ROUND TABLE 21

to the time this issue went to press, it was already well underway.

With the same competent coaching the girls had last year and with all of last year’s varsity out and practicing hard, great hopes may be held out for t'he season.

Last year’s rating shows Red Bank second in the race for the champion­ship, Asbury having nosed them out by a small margin. With the same coach and the same team coupled with greater experience and knowledge, it is safe to hope that they may come out on top of the pile this year.

At any rate, it’s uip to us, who don’t play to give our support to hearten this promising lot of players who show every intention of playing hard for us.

The Varsity line up will be Vera Truex, center; Leah De Gavre, side center; Marian Courvoisier and Jessie Inscoe, guards; and Anita Matthews and Carol Sc'hroeder forwards with Henrietta Brown sub-center, Marion Presby sub-forward and Mabel Mazza sub-guard.

The team has selected Miss Inscoe as captain. As a last season team member of no mean skill and repute. Miss Inscoe is very capable of leading her team mates through a victorious season.

In order to promote the growing movement' for better fellowship and friendship between the Alumni and the High School, members of the Alumni Association have been asked to write a few paragraphs on their experiences since leaving Red Bank High School. Two of these letters appear below, and we thank these people for the quick­ness and the willingness with which they responded to our request.

--------- o---------ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE

ALUMNI DANCE

The Spirit of Red Bank High School has once again been revived in the hearts of her children. It is their sincere wish to make the Banquet and Dance, which is to be given December 27th, at Eisner’s Recreation Hall, a high success. Invitations are being sent to all graduates whose addresses are known. If YOU are interested, get in communication with Miss Larua Bar­rett or Mr. Albert McQueen and see about having places reserved. This not only applies to Graduates but also their friends.

Seniors, this June, when you too become Alumni, show your Class Spirit by immediately having the name of every graduate added to the list of membership of the Red Bank High

School Alumni Association.“Watch this Association Grow.”

E. W. Chandler, 1917--------- o---------

Red Bank, N. J„ Nov. 23, 1922. To the Alumni Editor,The Round Table, R. B. H. S .:

Time in her flight sets a fast pace. When I look back to the night of June 17th, 1897— over twenty-five years ago—and draw a mental picture of the quarter of a century represented, there comes a realization that “Our todays and our yesterdays are the blocks with which we build.”

The above mentioned date is one of the milestones of my life. It was “Commencement Night” and although it represented a period of my life com­pleted yet, “Commencement” had only begun.

On that eventful night I became the proud possessor of a diploma awarded to me as a graduate of the Red Bank Public High School for “having pur­sued and completed in a satisfactory manner the course of study prescribed by this school” and that my “knowledge of the sciences, scholastic attainments, industry and moral worth” justly en­titled me to the same.

Never before had I fully realized the worth and full intent of that Latin proverb so frequently recited at school:

THE ROUND TABLE 23

“Opportunity has hair in front but be­hind she is bald. If you seize her by the forelock you may hold her, but if she should chance to escape, not' Jup­iter himself could catch her again.”

I knew on “Commencement” night that my chances of getting ahead in the world depended entirely upon the true meaning of the phraseology of my diploma coupled with the truth in that Latin proverb.

Many of my schoolmates sought fame and fortune among strangers, some going hundreds, yes thousands, of miles from home. I decided that there were just as many golden hours among friends and remained close to my alma mater.

A few years spent in the mercantile field gave me the opportunity to “find myself.” I saw a wide field of opera­tion and 1 entered therein. I seized Opportunity by the forelock and held feist.

The files of our class paper, “The Eureka,” will show that in my school days f had a fondness for newspaper work. I was not only a contributor to its literary columns but one of its business managers as well.

I re-enlisted in newspaper work as cub reporter for The Red Bank Regis­ter and I have remained in this field ever since guided by the motto, “Dili­gence is the mistress of success.” To­day, due in a very large measure to the efficient' instruction imparted to me by my courteous and faithful teachers at the Red Bank public schools, I am at the head of the commercial depart­ment of The Red Bank Register as its Business Manager. I am also one of the directors as well as the secretary of the firm which owns and publishes The Red Bank Register, which is the largest

and most influential country weekly newspaper in the United States.

1 am very proud to be one of the Alumni of the Red Bank Public Schools. My school days cover the period of the slate and sponge with one’s knee as the desk with seven to nine pupils on one bench to the time when individual desks became com­pulsory and all necessary class-room material was supplied by the taxpayers.

Do not neglect the importance of a good education. Do not waste the precious moments which go to make up the school hours. Respect your teach­ers at all times and by so doing you will gain additional self respect. Be a credit' to your parents, to your school and to society.

THOMAS IRVING BROWN,Class of 1897.

--------- o---------School days are the happiest day

of all!How often we were told this when

we were in School and how often we sighed and wondered where that ter­rible idea came from. Of course we had lots of fun but for the studies— entirely too much homework and at night we were too tired to study, but not to tired to dance. After Gradua­tion our minds were soon changed, and those of us taking a commercial course, soon became resigned to our task, that of a Stenographer.

Perhaps the following will only in­terest those pursuing the Commercial course, as I can only speak from the standpoint of a Stenographer, having been engaged in secretarial work since my graduation— 1917. I note below a few points I have learned since I began my course in the School of Ex­perience.

24 THE ROUND TABLE

Be on time.Cultivate patience.Do not argue with a Department

Head, it is useless, say nothing but gradually work out your own plans.

Do not hesitate to ask for the repeti­tion of a word, better then, than having the letter returned. If the dictator does not invite interruption, before you leave his desk, ask your question.

Punctuate as the letter is dictated, although in most' cases it will be done for you.

When taking dictation, do not scrib­ble an unfamiliar word but write it as it sounds even though it may take an extra second. Do not rely entirely on your memory for after an hours dicta­tion, your word has become “cold.”

Read the letter to yourself as you are transcribing it, it aids in punctua­tion.

Understand the subject matter you are writing about.

A good plan for marking off trans­cribed letters from your notebook, in­stead of marking with a check or cross,

is to write the date the letter was trans­cribed. This dates it and checks it'.

Number your notebooks and keep from say, one to ten for reference.

When sending enclosures—if the en­closure is given to you to be sent with the letter, you are responsible for same. Sometimes the dictator has not pre­pared the enclosure at time of writing letter, it will then be necessary for him to attach same himself. What if he neglects to do so. Who is forced to take the blame? The Stenographer. As a safeguard, when writing the dicta­tors initials and your own in the corner of the letter, put the letters “enc” under the initials of the one Who sent out the enclosure. For instance BHT/EWS

encmeaning the enclosure is not in the Stenographer’s hands and therefore not responsible for same.

The above notes are a few points which I have found useful and trust that someone may receive some benefit from my early mistakes.

Evelyn W. Chandler, 1917.

THE ROUND TABLE 25

In our first issue of the Round Table we welcome many friends, some old, some new. It is our aim to form new friendships and also to keep the old. All exchanges are welcome.
