CRANFORD HIGH SCHOOL + CRANFORD, NEW JERSEY FOREWORD
One hundred years ago men sought gold to enrich their lives. Today, our prospectors are looking for something more precious than gold; they are digging for peace. To reach this end, they are pan- ning their ideas and sifting away strife. In 1849 people travelled in covered wagons, on horseback, by boat, and even on foot. Their journey was long and tedious, and some were not rewarded. There is only one road to peace. It is long, and much of it has not been blazed. The reward at the end is beyond appraisal, but it can be reached only through understand- ing. Therefore, we, the members of the graduating class, will lend all our resources to the building of the road to peace. Where our ancestors used picks and shovels to reach their gold, we shall use intelligence and cooperation. The world will strike it rich!

"Good morning! These are the announce- ments." This greeting is familiar to anyone who has attended Cranford High School. The man who repeats it every morning and reads the latest announcements is our Prin- cipal, Ray A. Clement. This daily saluta- tion and the conferring of diplomas are about the only times the average pupil has much contact with Mr. Clement. However, under his guidance our school has main- tained a high scholastic rating. Moreover, he is always ready and willing to help in any way possible in all extra curricular activities. 1 Iis sincerity, honesty, and subtle sense of humor make one feel at ease in his pres- ence. He has no favorites but regards each student as an individual who will be a credit to our school. Now, after many years of service, he is retiring. It seems appropriate that he do so in 1949, for he, too, is a prospector. He has blazed a path for future administrators to follow and because of his accomplish- ments he has established a living monu- RAY A. CLEMENT ment of grateful graduates. "Steve" To Mr. Ray A. Clement the class of "His ready speech flowed fair 1949 dedicates this Golden C as a token of and free, its sincere gratitude. In phrase of gentlest courtesy." Pet Expression. "Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit. " (In the future it will be a pleasure to remember these things.) Hobby: Telling jokes on Class Night. Activity: Principal of Cran- ford High School.

Ill Mennoriam
WILMER FIELD WHITESCARVER, JR.
Buddy's kind and sincere nature which won him so many friends can never be forgotten, nor the time and energy he will- ingly gave in the service of our class. Dur- ing his brief life he set a fine example for us to follow, and we shall remember him always as a classmate and a "swell fellow."
Page 54 IN APPRECIATION
MISS ELLA
A sponsor has the responsibility of advising and guiding a class, thus transforming it from individual students to a united group capable of working together toward a common goal. The teacher who undertakes this task must give up many hours to insure its suc- cess. Our sponsor, Miss Ella Haver, has been not only a good advisor but also a good friend. We sincerely hope that she will remember us and recall the many activities we shared. We, the class of 1949, wish Miss Haver all the happiness and success which she so richly deserves.

We were off! The gold rush started in Sep- tember 1945. An insignificant group of dead "pans" set forth on their four year journey toward the ulti- mate goal. After the hard, hard winter at our first attempt at the unknown (Latin, Algebra, etc.) we welcomed the Spring with great rejoicing. Many characters joined in and proclaimed a "Hepcats everyone had kept his eyes and ears on Jersey Joe Walcott who was trying to jump Joe Louis' claim. Since we were now in sight of our destination we held a grand prom for those older members who were giving up their claims. We took them all for a big boat ride complete with a band, a magician,
Holiday." We all were now under the leadership of "Trail Blazer" Haver. Many said our valiant band would be sure to fail and would go astray but we struggled on with the $35 we had made. By the next year we were once again poverty- and live animals. After the great merry-making was stricken so we volunteered our services to help over it slowly dawned on us that we were now on clean up the local burg. After having been reward- our own entirely. Gone was the carefree, gay spirit of the pioneer in our struggle westward. We had reached our goal and had to start settling down to a more serious life. As a celebration of the starting of this new life, we held a grand dramatic presentation. We had our Miss Wurth and a few other top performers, (Dunn, Apgar, Brescka) that we had picked up along the way, give a delightful interpretation of "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay." We have been so firmly established here that now we are going around in international circles.

Then came the great triumph. We tried a differ- ent approach to the gold vein. We struck it rich after we had had "A Date With Judy." This new idea netted us $300. We met Miss Sarah Bern- hardt Wurth at this point. It was rumored that Hawk Smoozle, head of the local opera house, wanted her talent for an all star revue. She was no piker though. She headed for greater stakes. We went boldly on, but after a few months we dis- covered that the vein had petered out when we learned we had made only S.07 (7c) profit that winter.

Frevert and Forster placed 1st and 2nd respectively in the county meet with Cranford being nosed out by the narrow margin of one point by Westfield for the cham- pionship. With only one letter man returning next year the team will face a rebuilding problem.

The 1949 men are determined to at- tain the County Relay Championship which has been missed only by nar- row margins in the past. With emphasis on dis- tance running, the team will try to repeat their un- defeated dual meet season of 1948. With top-notch runners like Bob Frevert, Russ Forster, Fred Allen and Eugene Woehr, Cranford can't miss. Good luck! Indoor Track, although a fairly new sport in Cran ford, has come home with numerous trophies for its various accomplishments. This past year, the squad successfully de- fended its Group II In- door Relay Championship in addition to winning sixteen plaques. The squad attended the St. Peter's College High School meet, the State, Newark C.Y.O. and the Hudson County C.Y.O. meets. We owe our thanks to Coach Anthony Terregino who ably produced an outstanding team.

Pjge 74 M Cranford in 1948 fielded a surprise team which developed under its coach, Paul Buonaguro. The team was slow in starting, losing its first three BASEBALL games, but finally hit their stride with an extra inning win over Plainfield 5-4. From then on they compiled an impressive record of five wins, seven losses, to end the season with six wins and ten losses. For his excellent work in handling the team, Coach Buonaguro received honorable mention for Coach of the Year, an honor he well deserved. This year the team will be captained by Lyle Burnett who succeeds Wesley Wehrenberg and Martin Scanlon, co-captains in 1948. With a tenta- tive eighteen game schedule for 1949, Cranford is looking forward to a successful season. ».4 "">er 1 Big leaguers CLAIMS AUTO SERVICE Bal Alar Service Center—Raritan Road Cranford ESSO Service—3 Springfield Avenue Gulf Service Station-29 N.
