Her trim neat appearance have stamped her as a self-reliant person. Hiking is her sport. Library Club I EDNA CAROLINE AXTT "EDDIE Future: Business Edna is a commercial student. We shall remember her for sweci personality, friendliness, and good nature. Glee Club I Dramatic Club II Basketball I Tennis III Page Eleven EVALYN THERISA AZAR "EV" Future: Nursing Evelyn is a quiet, unobtrusive member of the c\a.

She plays a fine game as hockey inside; she is a basketball guard decidedly hard to elude. We in her classes remember more than anything else her extraordinary penchant for arguments. Despite that, Jean is ve'v well liked.

Rifle Club III, IV, V; Treasurer IV Basketball II, III, IV Photography Club IV, V Tennis IV Red Cross Council IV, V Hockey V ALICE DODD BARTHOLOMEW "AL" Future: Organist Alice is our "Indian." She played lustily in the band last fall—the trombone, not a tom-tom. Alice goes out for many sports and does rather well in them all. After her graduation, Alice is going to the Prince- ton Choir School.

She seems quiet and unobstrusive, but to know her is to find a lovely personality, and a bright and witty manner. Page Twelve MARIANNE JOAN BILLIAS "GREEKy" Future: Business School Marion has gone out for both hockey and golf while in scho )l. She says that law classes are her favorites. Marion likes to have an al around good time. WILLIAM BIRKMIRE "BILL' Life is just a lark to Bill. He goes around with an amused twinkle in his eyes and wonders why he should do any work anyway. Don't forget to take his tall stories with a grain of salt. GEORGE ROBERT BOLTE "BOB" Future Undecided Bob blushes when he thinks how close he came to being class blusher —he only missed it by a shade. He is a good sport and we all wish him the best of luck. ARTHUR WILLEVER BROWN "ART" Future: Princeton A stands for Art, and Art stands for A—on a report card. There's an "art" to everything he does, too. Scholar, orator, actor, editor—at what- ever he turns his hand he distinguishes himself. Student Council I, III.

Skiing took up a great part of his time, and since he is taking a scientific course we guess he was proving the law of gravity for himself. Page Thirteen CHARLES WILLIAM CARTER "CHARLIE" Future: Undecided Here is one member of our class who is approaching the future with a perfectly open mind. He has no idea of what he would like to do— another young hopeful. Jr. Math Club I, II ELEANOR ADELE CLOSTERMAN "EL" Future Secretary Eleanor is another member of the class that we don't hear much about. She has, nevertheless, many friends, and when she graduates she plans to go on with secretarial work. Student Council Com littee I. Golden C IV Basketball IV Shorthand Club IV Hockey IV VIVIAN CLARICE COBBS "COBBy" Future: Hunter College Vivian has been wending her way through these years very quietly.

French Club I II, IV Math Club I, IV ANAMARTHA IOWN CONLEy "HONEy" Future: Nursing Anamartha likes to go dashing around on the back of a horse. She's crazy about riding. If we ever need a Paul Revere, we can call on her. Don't mention her pet aversion though. Its being told she's too tall. Math Club I Red Cross I.

She is a good sport and very pleasing to look at. How about it, are we right, Vinnie? Basketball I, II, III Library Club I Tennis II, IV Shorthand Club II Hockey IV Spotlight IV FRANK EUGENE CUSHING Future: Sales and Marketing Though not a member of this class for four years, we were mighty pleased to have Frank with us for his last one. He's master of a good dea of good humor, and the halls often ring with laughter on his account. Frank kept a smile although he was a team manager, and that's enough to turn anyone's hair grey. BaseBall I Basketball Manager IV Track I. II, III, IV MyRON CyMBALUK "MERE" Future: Business Myron has come the long four years with us pretty cheerfully but he has been known to whistle the "LADy IN RED" from time to time when he has gotten that certain cardboard rectangle. But haven't we all? So long, Myron. FRANK DADD "Cy" "Cy" is very fast and able as quarterback on the football team, behind home plate, and as forward on the basketball court. He doesn't do so badly with a certain sophomore, either. Football III, IV Student Council I, III. IV Basketball III, IV Class President II Baseball I, II, III; Captair Student Council Committees I I, IV Chemistry Club DAVID DAMON "DAVE" If a long green nnlk truck dashes by as if it Is going to a fire you know Dave is on the job. He boasts a record of never walking more than half a block at a stretch--we hope he can keep it up after he leaves us. Assembly Program Co -nmittee II French Club III Rifle Club I Golden C IV Junior Play III P.rge l-'iflfeil ROBERT WILLIS DAVIS "BOB" "Calling all cars, calling all cars!" Hold your seats foils, it's only Bob tinkering with his radio. This activity is his pet hobby and he hopes it to be his "bread and butter. " Bob's genial smile and Model T. Ford have made him countless friends. Chemistry Club Baseball Radio Club Ml WILLIAM ALFRED DAVIS "BILL" Bashful Bill blushes near beautiful girls. There are lots more important things, though—like holding down second base for C. H. S. HELEN REBECCA DEy Katha Gibbs Helen is one of our loveliest Seniors. (Loot at the superlatives!) She has done a lot of good work for the school. Student Council, A. A., dance committees, a good many more ha her working as hard as she can. After graduate n, Helen is going to Katha Gibbs.

She is greatly interested in c jmmercial designing, and itends to study it after graduation. ALLEN EDWARD DIMMICK "KNOBBV Future: University of Pennsylvania "Vcni, vedi, vici Allen's view on life can't be expressed better than by that phrase. He lwayys seems to be in a hurry, and there is never dull moment when he is aroundd . HiH s geniaill l and good nature have won him the title of "Class Clown." Book Club I IRENE Dl TULLIO "TILLIE" Future: Secretary Imagine Irene's name signed all over commercial art work. We know that she is clever for we have seen her wort. That is quite different from eating apples, though Irene says she enjoys nothing better. Guess you don't have many doctor's bills, do you? Basketball IV Shorthand Club I I, IV Student Council Comrr Chorus (II Hockey IV Golden C IV Page Sixteen NICK Dl TULLIO "NICK1 Future Undecided "E plunbus jnum." A truer phrase was never uttered in regard to Nick. His pep is unlimited, a true companion, full of laughter and good-natured- ness, never glum, and exceedingly helpful. Student Council Representative IV Interclass Basketball I, II. I Football II, III Senior Basketball Team IV Baseball II, III AUSTIN FREDERICK DOHRMAN Future: Cornell—Law We don't hear much frc n the dark young man, but what poems he write! We heard that some of them have been published. Watch hir Tennis I, II, III, IV Public Speaking II, III Student Council IV Debating II, III THOMAS EDWARD DOIG "DOGGIfc Future: Air School When he leaves school in June, Tommy is going to set his feet in the direction of New York. There he hopes to get a job with the Mercantile Marine. Maybe one of these days Tommy will be sailing away from these shores. Glee Club II, III, IV Track III, IV Aviation Club President III WILFRED CHARLES DORN "WILL" Future: Rutgers Willie's quite a brute on the football field, but he is just putty in the hands of a girl. He ought to visit the doctor to see him (or his daughter) about his peculiar love sickness. Football I, II, Varsity III, IV Hockey IV Tract III, Varsity IV French Club III Senior Ring Committee IV Math Club I EVELYN CATHERINE ERICKSON "LYNN" Future: Accountant and Commercial Artist Evelyn is another quiet Senior—at least she is in school. She draws rather well, and is usually found in Miss Bass' Art Room. Evelyn is in good form, because she runs up the six fights of steps nearly every day. Basketball I, II. I Senior Play Committee IV Junior Play III Book Club I Golden C IV JANIS ANDREA EVANS "JAN" Future: Pratt Institute—Art Janis is our quietest senior. Her reserve makes her a little hard to know, but she's very friendly to those she counts as her friends. She draws and paints well, and some of her poetry has been published in the Spotlight. Spotlight III Red Cross II Golden C IV Girls' Sports I, II, III, IV Photography Club IV Pjge Seventeen MARIE JEANETTE FAITH "MER" Future: Undecided Mane makes the keys fly typing work for the Spotlight. She very nveiy and likes acting. Basketball and hockey are among her extra c. ricula activities. RAyMOND LESTER FARR "RAY" Future: Accounting Lester, better known as Ray, is one of our boys who doesn't do too much self-advertising. He is a good fellow and one who can consider him- self a friend of all. JOHN DRAPER FAUNCE "JACK" Future: Dartmouth He was voted the most original in the class, but this scarcely does him justice. He's been a most efficient publicity agent for the A. A. where his knowledge of printing enables him to give C. H. S. the trickiest posters it's ever seen. Added to this he's a philatelist, (that word alone ought to make him original!) Math Club I Music Organization I, II, III, IV Student Council III, IV Athletic Association IV Class Play Stage Manager Golden C IV Honor Society III, IV Union County Band III, IV Spotlight HI, IV Banner Bearer III JACK PRAET FLEUREN "FLUR" Here he is girls! That big husky guard you dre am about, the strong silent type, with the flashing grin. But watch out, Just get him on the stage and you'll forget Rudy Vallee ever crooned a lov e song.

We haven't been able to discover whether she made the 100 Club, or not. Virginia plans to do secretarial work after graduation. Page Eighteen GEORGE JOESEPH FRANK "BABY FACE" Future Undecided George may be timid, but he is always helpful and cheerful. His dynamic ability to do what he sets out for is simply amazing. The busi- ness world will surely accept him with open arms. LAURETTA MARTINA SATES "TOOTS" Future: Secretary Another secretary is in our midst. Secretarial ^ork is what she wants to take up when she leaves C. H. S. She would rr ake a good Red Cross worker, too, it her work on the Red Cross Council is iny indication. Hockey I, II, III. IV Red Cross Council IV Basketball II, III, IV Tennis IV Shorthand Club II, IV VIRGINIA CYNTHIA GRAFF Virginia is a quiet person, but quite friendly. We understand she had difficulty learning how to drive. How about that, Virginia? CORRINE OLIVETTE GREISS Future: Office Work Every time we have seen Corrine she has been either riding a horse, or a car. Pretty nice to enjoy both. Most of us don't get much of a chance to experience the "bumps of riding." Library Club II Shorthand Club V Tennis IV KENNETH GRIFFITHS "KENNY" Future: Bucknell or Penn State Kennie's love of footba E so great that even a cracked skull could not keep him on the bench. H s one of those fellows every class is proud to claim, though few have. We are not the only vho think so, eh what girls! Football I, II, III, IV Athletic Association , Pres. IV Basketball I, II, III, IV Red Cross II Baseball I, II, III, IV Student Council III DORIS ISABELLE HADDAD "HALF PINT" Future: Fashion Academy Doris ought to join a political party. When she gets excited about something, you cant keep her quiet. C. H. S. is going to miss an enthusi- ast, we fear. They say there is nothing like this "fighting spirit." We guess Doris thinks so anyway. Here's to your victories, Doris. Hockey I, II, IV Tennis IV Basketball I, II, IV Student Council Committee IV Music Organization I, Swimming IV Golden C IV Golf IV P.ige fcnit?!een ANGELA HAMMOND "YUMMY" Future: Trenton State Normal School "Yummy" has done some rather disastrous things in Chem. class, but we forgive her everything except the time she let the hydrogen sulfide escape. Yum worked on long, cold afternoons to get advertisements for the play programs this year so we'll even forgive the H2S, Hockey I, II, III, IV Chorus II Basketball I, II, IV Class Committees IV French Club III. IV Red Cross Council IV JOHN ROBERT HARRISON "RED" Even with this picture of Jack it is hard to recognize him as there are so many other little Harrisons with bright red hair. Jack Is rather quiet and just a little "tired" most of the time, but is well liked for his happy disposi- tion. ANTON JOSEPH HASSEK "SLIM" Future: Work Joe went to Jefferson High until this year when he transferred to C. H. S. and their loss is our gain. Joe packs a he-man's punch and this year is contending once more (he's tried before) in the "GOLDEN GLOVES" tournament. Here's luck Joe. PATRICIA FLEMING HEFLEY "PAT" Future: Politics Patricia came to us from Battin High in Elizabeth. She is interested in the commercial subjects in school and likes poetry. We suspect that Patricia likes to meddle in politics. Battin High School I, II, I Tennis IV JANE BARBARA HENRICH "BOBBIE" Future: Grand Central School of Art Barbara has won a number of prizes in Shorthand class. These, despite a scries of arguments. After graduation Barbara ts going to Katharine Gibbs. Shorthand Club II Golden C Staff IV ELSIE ELIZABETH HOAGLAND "HOAGIE" Future: Beauty Culture We rather envy Elsie. She may be a famous beauty expert, someday. Think of all the faces, if not the hearts, she can "lift." There's lots of work in this line, Elsie. Red Cross II, III; President IV Basketball I, Shorthand Club II, IV Hockey II, III Page Twenty PETER HOMACK "PETE" Future: Newark College of Engineering Pete isn't so big, but he makes the most of what he's got. While with- out the versatility of that highly esteemed professor, Mr. C. B. Q. he plays a mighty fine game of basketball, and besides that, he is one of the most reliable fellows in the school. National Honor Society IV Commencement Speaker LLOYD ENOS HOWARD "TOGO11 Future: Columbia , Anytime you hear some pretty hot melody coming from the general direction of the assembly hall, you can be quite sure that it is Lloyd. When he wants more rhythm, he plays the double bass—when he remembers to bring it. VIRGINIA NORMA HUFF Norma has reported for hockey, basketball and chorus at various inter- vals. She also belongs to the Shorthand Club. What was that about dues. Norma? Chorus II, III, IV Glee Club 111 Basketball I, II Spotlight IV Hockey I, II, III, IV Class Play III JANE STILWELL HUGHES Future: N. J. C. This lady is a globe trotter. She comes from Tacoma, Washington, but she prefers to cross the continent to finish her high school course. We sus- pect that the Venice of New Jersey on the banks of the Rahway lured her from the Salmon infested rivers of her own state. ELIZABETH DAY HUMMER "BETTY" Future: Grand Central School of Art Betty is always willing to help a friend out of difficulties in any way she can. She plans to go to school in New York to satisfy her one big ambi- tion-—interior decoration. With all of her qualifications for this work Betty is bound to succeed. Shorthand Club II ROBERT CASIMER IANNELL "BOB" This black haired, good looking young man has a capacity for sic which he never seems to fill. There is a rumor that he loses it in the 01 suit of some of our beautiful "jeunes filles" about town. Photography Club IV Golden C IV Rifle Club I, II Student Counc Page 7'wenty-one_ I ROy DAVID IRVING Future: Undecided " A good-skate" is a familiar phrase whenever one talks about Roy. He's a trifle timid in the classrooms but those who know him personally and there are scores of these fortunate people, can tell you the fun one can have with him. A good-mixer, who knows his way with the women, is Roy. \, ROSEMARY PETRA JANSEN Future: Undecided Rosic is noted for her dramatic ability and her obvious disbelief in the maxim, "silence is golden." Her good-naturedness makes her a very pleas- ant companion. Chorus I. II. Ill, IV Shorthand Club III Math Club I All State Chorus III Dramatic Club II. II Union County Chorus IV French Club III. IV JOHN FREDERICK JONES Future: College We are happy to present "Jiggs," the wittiest fellow in C. H S. When Jiggs is in the room, there is scarcely a dull moment. We might Annie Oakley for his cracks usually strike home. He will make a sw ell sports writer if his future work is like his write-ups in the "SPOTLIGHT." Class Plays II. III. IV Athletic Association IV Golden C IV Student Council III Spotlight III, IV ALBERT WILLIAM KANTNER "BO" Future: Business Right now it looks as though Albert were trying to beat Bernie Schir- mer's mark as the tallest in the class. He may do it yet at his present rate Assembly Usher II Football IV Interclass Basketball III ANTON WOODROW KANTNER "WOODy" Future: Virginia Polytechnic Institute Give Anton a clarinet and then listen to that music as it goes round and comes out hot. Some day, maybe he will make the air waves sizzle. ARTHUR JAMES KEELER "ART" Future: Orexel "Bigs things come in small packages." This phrase can be truthfully id about Arthur. There isn't a great deal of him, but what there is, is ough. He is a trifle timid at times but his stupendous personality has g on hirn any friends. Track III. IV Page Tiventy-txvo RUDOLPH KLEMPA "RUDy" Future: Aeronautical Engineering "Why do they put buttons on the back of girls' swea._. At las_.t. the long sought for answer to this riddle has been found. So, Rudy can unbutton them during classes. His bewitching smile and amiable person- ality has gained him a hoard of friends. VIRGINIA JOSEPHINE KUCH Future: Secretary Why don't you try to combine swimming and whistling, Virginia We understand that you are fond of both. Perhaps you could form sor sort of club involving both sports, or even try for a championship. Oh, :ll, if you can't "swim," you can whistle a tune. Hockey I, III French Club III, IV Basketball I, II, IV Golden C IV Shorthand Club II. IV GRACE ELIZABETH LANGLER •'PETITE11 Future: Undecided Grace ,s very short but she can play a wicked game of basketball! She likes to play tennis and make sketches and isn't what you'd call exactly studious. We suspect that you spend a great deal of time at the manicur- ists, or are we mistaken? Ramsey High School I Basketball IV Tenms III, IV CATHERINE ELIZABETH LARKIN "BETTV1 Future: College Betty is quiet and studious in class; but on the debating platform she is brilliant, convincing, and precise—our class orator. Basketball I, II French Club IV Student Council Committee III, IV National Honor Society IV Public Speaking III. IV Commencement Speaker Debating IV ALBERT LIPSCHITZ "Lippy To Al goes the title and distinction of being the best guesser in the class. He guessed closest to the correct scores of five of Cranford's basket- ball games to win a ticket to the Senior Play. Wonder where he got his inside dope. Library Club I Football I Baseball I IGNATIUS NED LUCA "LUC" Future: Banker This curly-headed chap's pep is unlimited, and his good-naturedness is boundless. He indulges in a variety of sports. Say, did you ever hear him talk about his basketball team, the Cranparks? Ned is a true pal, and his many friends are glad to be his companions. Riflle Club I, II, III Baseball II. Ill Twenty-three VINCENT JOSEPH LUSARDI "LU" Future: Undecided Be it football, basketball or track, Pepper is right there in the middle of it. If you ask him, he'll tell you the simplest way to get a vacation from C. H. S. is to drop a friend's books in the hall when Mr. Clement is within seeing distance. EDITH RUTH MAHAN "RUTHIE" Future: Art School Too bad Ruth is absent so much. C. H. S. could well afford to see her oftener. Every word of cheer helps, and Ruthie sure spreads sunshine. She is very interested in art as we can see by her neat and well-chosen attire. Book Club I Hockey I EDWARD PETER MARKOWICH Future: Undecided Football! Baseball! Basketball! No, this isn't list of the sports of the world, its only a few of Eddie's activities. His uper-colossal perform- ance on the gridiron, the diamond, and the floor ixed with his amiable personality gained him a mass of friends. Baseball III, IV Football IV Basketball IV BEATRICE MURIEL MARSAC "BEE" Future: Middlabury College Bee is our most original girl, always coming out with the most unex- pected remarks. We get some rather unique questions in Chem. class but the pupils appreciate them even though Mr. Wilson does not. Hockey I. II, III, IV Athletic Association Music Organization I.

But those dancing feet of his have helped carry the pig-skin for the Blue and Sold to victory many a time. Be careful ladies he's dynamite. Football II, III: Varsity IV, V Student Council V Trad II, III: Varsity IV, V Student Council Corr RAYMOND ALEXANDER MAXFIELD "NEWT" Future: Wall Street Banker Whether he's in a car or on his feet Ray's a speed king. He's another fellow that makes us feel sure that there has never been another class like ours. Band I, II, III Penn Relays II, III Orchestra I.

When you see two fed mack- intoshes strolling down the street, you'll guess right when you say, "Yeah! Ray and Merk."

Page Tbirty-six Class History Little did we realize four years ago that we would have the questionable distinc- tion, due to the construction of the new building, to be the last group to graduate from the original dear old Cleveland High School. As we were an extra smart freshman class, it did not take us long to adapt our- selves to our new surroundings. Before the year was over we had gone so far as to elect Frank "Cy" Dadd as president; Arthur Brown, vice-president; Betty Albury, secretary; and Frank Sprole as treasurer, to take office when we should come back in the fall. With these capable officers in charge we commenced by choosing Crimson and Gold as class colors, Autumn Leaves as our bit of vegetation, and the inspiring motto, Possumus quia posse videmur. Any question as to the source of funds was soon answered by the unforgetable Hill Billy Dances. In our Junior year we let Louis Demmerle wield the gavel, and we gave Bill Cordner the job as his understudy. Ethel Stimpson kept the minutes, and Bob Nagle spent his time chasing people for their dues. Upon the resignation of Louis Demmerle in the middle of the year, we gave Bill Cordner his position. Evidence of our fine leadership can be seen in the fact that we were the first Junior Class to put on a performance of the calibre of the Senior Play. Although the Junior debating team held the best debator of the evening, a fine showing by the Seniors gave them the decision. The Junior Subscription Dance and the Junior-Senior Prom were social successes, and for the first time in years the former was a financial triumph as well. When we arrived at the zenith of a fine career, and when we became lords and masters of the school, Bill Cordner was again given the presidency with Jonathan Miller as his assistant. Helen Dey was our able secretary and Alfred Meyer did an efficient job as class treasurer. The play, "Mary The Third," by Rachel Crothers, was an outstanding performance. The Senior Debating Team, lured on by a five dollar goal and the will to win, beat its rivals in a warmly contested debate. For this feat we were given a cup to stand on a shelf for the rest of the year. At the request of a good many girls, and also quite a few boys, we seized the opportunity to put across a Leap Year Dance in fine style. It turned out to be another of the financial successes that the class has grown accustomed to in the past four years.

Been going every minute. Operated on Jack Fleuren at 8:00 A. M. for stomach ulcers. He has been living too high since he gained ownership of that African gold mine. It was a ticklish piece of work. Don't know what I'd do with- out Miss Anamartha Conley. His weakened constitution would never have stood up under any other anaesthetic but Harvey Seavy's, recently worked out in his chemical laboratory. As I was leaving the operating room, I ran into "Little Willy" Dorn. He spends as much time in the hospital as I do. He's testing Bruce Russell's new planes and Schubel's racing cars. "Man with a thousand lives," they call him. This last time he broke his arm and dislocated his shoulder. It required mighty skillful surgery to remove the bone splinter from his brain. "Moe" Meyer, his manager, must get plenty for risking Dorn's neck. He sports Albert Lipschitz' best clothes, and Jonathan Miller's (formerly Tiffany's) luxurious diamonds. I've noticed that visitors seem mor>; at ease since the hospital installed Eddie Markowich's new sound absorbing air condi- tioning system. I left the hospital and drove to Columbia in my new car, designed by Floyd Rue. Arthur Brown, dean of men, invited me over to talk to the "med" students in the new science building donated so generously by Howard Stanley head of J. P. Morgan & Co. Henry Rominger, prominent architect, did a fine job designing it. I'm glad my speech is over. I've been saying it in my sleep. Took the dog over to Mildred Talbot, veterinarian. She's got a real cure for distemper. Couldn't go home for lunch. My whole flat is being done over by Chloe Weeks, outstanding interior decorator. I ate at the Club instead. The meals have been very good since Joe Tineo got the chef's job. After eating, went to the lounge to read the paper and listen to Herbert Sjursen's new improved radio. Had to turn off Fred Jones' sport talk to get Lloyd Howard's band with its new type of music. First chance I had to read about the assassination of President Sam Anderson by Raymond Maxfield, leader of radical-;. It's the first assination to be successful in many years. Anderson was a pretty good man, but he wanted too much power. Roy Irving, the country's leading scout execu- tive, is about to embark on the first arctic expedition in which the crew is composed entirely of Boy Scouts. In the business section I found that David Damon had finally formed a combine of Borden, Sheffield and Alderney. The newspapers of today are certainly improved by the wonderful drawings of Ethel Simpson in the commercial art field. They've finally chosen Bill Cordner's powerful Notre Dame team for the Rose Bowl. They'll meet Kenny Griffith's speedy Stanford team. Martin (Bone crusher) Klein will wrestle tonight for the championship. My money is on him after his past record. Winnie Miller's society column says that Helen Dey is about to marry into society. I was about to take a nap when Bill Birkmire breezed in and tried to sell me some insurance. I resisted him on the policy, but he persuaded me to go with him to Robert lannell's new popular night club. Said it would do me good. He sure can talk, but that's because he sells insurance. The cigar he gave me was made by Julius Tangel, the tobacco king, at his best. After he left, I listened to a concert by the Columbia musical organization . The program was directed by Betty Atbury, first woman to be director of music in a big university. Alice Bartholemew was solo organist. I got started on Roger Norton's latest novel in the new, more easily readable form as printed Page Thirty-nine by Alan Okell's publishing house. Spent the rest of the afternoon in the clinics. Jack Faunce, noted financier, has donated so much money to them that they're finally as they should be—fully equipped in every detail. I was mighty tired, but felt rested after sleeping an hour on Bob Ackland's new type bed. Leave it to Ackland to think up better ways of sleeping. Met Birkmire and we drove over to lannell's. Felt better as soon as I stepped in. A nice place— makes you feel buoyant and wide-awake. We had a wonderful meal and were sur- prised to learn that Cy Dadd was head cook. Bernie Schirmer is head waiter. They don't need a bouncer with him on the job. One look at his size and the tough boys behave. The entertainment was excellent. They had a dance team with fancy names, but I recognized them as Joe Matteson and Sadie Mae Percival, the best on Broad- way. They had a chorus in beautiful costumes designed by Marguerite Spilsbury. The star of the evening was Dolores Morgan, quite slim, who is a torch singer and dancer. Got home quite late but Bill was right . It did me good. First time I've been out in years. Ho, hum and so to bed!"—Excerpt from Franklin Burke's autobiography entitled "The Successful Surgeon."

Signed: CLASS OF "36. Page Forty-jour V SENIOR CLASS The class of '36 has been engaged in numerous successful activities and can right- fully boast of being the best class to graduate and, incidently, the last group to set out from Cleveland High. The senior girls gave a Leap Year Dance which went off well both socially and financially. This event was one which will not soon be forgotten. The seniors took the cup as a result of the annual Junior-Senior Debate. The crowning success of the year was the Senior Play "Mary The Third" which was very well received by a full house both nights. Now, the largest, best, and last class, we graduate from Cleveland High School. All these things would have been impossible had it not been for our sponsor, Mr. Loveland, who has guided and helped us so wisely with his tire- less efforts. Page Forty-five L ••*-.- .-.^wfcfc^Wsw**^**' •jfm **- Senior Play HE Annual production of the Senior Class was presented on the evenings of Febru- T ary 21 and 22. The play, a very modern three-act comedy, "MARY THE THIRD," written by Rachael Crothers, was well received by most appreciative audiences. It's success was lately due to the very capable direction of Miss Alice Ma thews, an unusually talented cast and tireless crews.

CLEMENT The aims of the National Honor Society are, "to create an enthusiasm for scholar- ship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the pupils of the school." The members of this society are chosen from the first quarter of the Junior and Senior classes. Fifteen per cent of the class may be chosen, five per cent in the Junior year and ten per cent in the Senior year. The members are outstanding in scholarship, character, leadership, and service. The keystone and the flaming torch compose the emblem and symbolize the aims of the society, and the initials C. S. L. S. stand for its four qualifications. The members of the present Senior class elected in their Junior year are: Betty Albury, Arthur Brown, Bill Cordner, Jack Faunce, and Mar3uerite Spilsbury.

The initial debate between the Juniors and Seniors, won by the latter 2-1, prefaced a series of tour with other high school teams of rank. The P. T. A. cup and $5.00 prize, emblem- atic of inter-class rivalry, was retained therefore by the uppermost classmen. Austin Roberts, second speaker for the Juniors, received the Stanger medal for excellence in debating. Scotch Plains High School, Dover, Bound Brook and North Plainfield engaged Cranford in the aforementioned order. Each conflict revealed adroit reason- ing and vigorous persuasion by affirmative and negative alike. These debates were non-decision except for the final which went to North Pla infield by a close margin, 122 to I !9'/2- the points being determined by a single critic judge. Page Sixty PHOTOGRAPHY CLUBS Due to its popularity and to the irregular school hours the Photography Club was divided into two sections this year—a Junior and a Senior group. The aim of both clubs was to learn to enjoy photography and to make more satisfactory use of simple equipment. The meetings were devoted to the study of the camera itself, the composition of pictures, and the finishing of them. Many pictures were brought in for criticism, and there were guest speakers from various fields of photography. Special projects have included the starting of a pictorial school history which the club hopes will prove interesting for many years. The new high school with a real dark room promises great things for future photography clubs. Sixty-one >DBQ[ ENTRE-NOUS OFFICERS La presidente . . LILA MOKARZEL Le vice-president . . . .

Mr. Quaintance, the sponsor, feels that the topics studied will be of real value in college. There are no officers, as the members prefer to spend the entire meeting discussing mathematics. So far this year, different individuals have studied, separately, various topics and then explained them to the club. Next year the club hopes to be even more interesting to Its members because the topics to be discussed include permutations, combinations, probability, and related matters.

GATZY Again, the Athletic Association's chief difficulty was finding the means of raising money with which to run the teams. Season tickets were sold, and the association sponsored several basketball games between the Faculty and Seniors for the benefit of spring sports. The football season was very successful both from the financial and competitive points of view. As a result the Athletic Association was able to clear off the debt on the oval fence and, for the first time, was almost able to make sports self-supporting.

Its aims are to get as many girls as possible to enter into the sport, or sports, each likes best so that she can become accomplished therein and be able to use them in later life; and, further, to find a sport that suits the desires, needs, and abilities of the girl. Therefore, the program provides for a great number of individual activities, as well as team games. The snapshots on the opposite page represent the outstanding girls in various sports. During the past school year, basketball proved to be the most popular, with one hundred and eighty-one girls participating. Betty Sterrett's senior team won the tournament. Next in popularity came hockey with one hundred and eleven girls taking part. Again Betty Sterrett, captain, lead her team to victory. Golf was introduced for the first time and proved to be a leading activity with an enrollment of ninety-five. Fencing, another new recreation, interested seventy-four girls; bowling and ping- pong at the Casino brought out fifty-nine. Swimming was conducted for forty-nine girls at the '"/" Pool in Westfield. Tennis was divided into forty-three beginners and twenty-two advance players, and riding ended the list with only seventeen enrolled. Track and baseball, as yet, are incomplete. Page Seventy-three BASKETBALL Bang! The gun went off and the curtain had closed on the final game of a successful court season. After striving valiantly for the past years, a Cranford High School basketball squad had waded through all opposition in the state tournament to emerge champions of New Jersey! Blue and Gold fans went wild when Cranford staved off a late rally to beat Merchantville in the final, 36—33. The final has always been a jinx for Cranford. Last year the locals upset all dope by taking in stride the highly-touted High Bridge five, Caldwell, conquerer of Madison, a top-heavy favorite, and Merchentville. Then, at this point, the team play bogged considerably and a steady Bogota quintet nosed them out, 28—24. The final this year started out like a replica. Merchantville got off to a fast start to run up a 12—4 lead and then matched all Cranford points to maintain a 20—14 advantage at half time. Evidently the intermission aided the Blue and Gold five materially, for the second half witnessed a complete reversal of form. Deliberately they worked, slow and decisive. The lead shortened. Finally there was none. Then Cranford, true champion that it was, drew ahead and stayed there till the final gun went off. Captain Vinnie Lusardi led the team's individual scoring with 177 points. Bernie Schirmer, towering pivot-man, was second with 159 tallies, and also scored the most points in one fray, 19, against South Amboy. Seventy-four Coach Weekley's proteges played listless ball in the season's opener, losing to Rahway, 34—20. A 21 —17 victory over Linden started a five-game streak, Perth Amboy bowing, 37—36; Bound Brook, 34—20; Hillside, 36—16; and Millburn, 38—12. At that point Cranford slumped into an erratic streak and only a whirlwind finish enabled them to gain a tournament birth. The local's style in the tournament was a delight. Playing a team which had nosed them out during a season's scheduled contest, they successfully survived the first round by whipping Chatham, 43—32. The game's feature was Charley Win- gardner's valiant attempt to keep Chatham from losing by rolling up a grand total of 22 points. Practically single-handed he kept his team from losing by forcing it into an overtime period, but Cranford applied pressure then to triumph. A tournament "natural" was staged in the sectional final when the Blue and Gold defeated Bernardsville, 30—25. Bernardsville had nosed out the Cranfordites in the sectional gridiron ratings and Cranford was out for revenge. The score indicates satisfaction. The champions encountered their easiest competition In the state semi-final when they buried South Amboy under an avalanche of baskets, 41—25. Bernie Schirmer was evidently on that night when he tapped up a grand total of 19 points. The winners got off to a fast start and bucketed four baskets before the outclassed Amboyans broke into the scoring column. Cranford never relinquished its enormous margin. The team as a whole ran up 689 points. The $10.00 prize for the highest per- centage of converted fouls fell to Bernie Schirmer. This incentive created a marked improvement in the locals' caging of those important shots, 145 of them going through the hoop. Scintillating play gained berths for Cranford players on various mythical all-state teams, Lusardi and Schirmer especially. It was a great joy to see Cranford come away at last with titular honors. In '32 Cranford won the sectional cup only to fade out of the picture in the state semi-finals. Then in '33 they went all the way to the finals only to drop by the wayside. A power- ful Madison quintet eliminated them in '34 in the first round, and in '35 Bogota whipped them. The jinx was broken forever, we hope, this year.

Only one defeat, a 7-0 set- back by Glen Ridge mars an otherwise perfect record. For ten consecutive Saturdays the varsity combine battled for their dear old alma mater and for ten consecutive Saturdays the fighting warriors covered themselves with glory. The season's schedule was inaugurated when Cranford played hosts to the favored East Orange eleven. The locals chalked up their first win when Griffiths uncorked a long aerial to Captain Cordner and the latter went over the line for a touchdown. It was the game's only score and Cranford won, 6-0. Led by Nordstrom, the plunging, full-back, Coach Weekley's charges defeated a scrappy Dover team, 12-7. Nordstrom scored both touchdowns on charging line plunges. Warm weather hampered both teams and the Cranfordites at times showed flashes of potential strength. For its third opponent Cranfort faced a touted Roselle squad, led by Barney Eig, 220-lb back. Eig was not enough to stop the huge man power of the Weekleyites, and they romped to a 19-6 victory. The game was featured by a 75-yard touchdown dash on the part of Klein of Cranford after he had intercepted a Roselle pass. Clicking with precision, power, and speed, Cranford overwhelmed Roselle Park the next week, 20-0. Everything seemed to go right as the Blue and Gold marched up and down the field. Here Cranford fans got their first real sight of the fine team Cranford proved to be. Continuing its show of man-power and scoring ability, Cranford swamped Rahway, Page Seventy-six 32-2. Close to 30 played for Cranford, but no matter how much Coach Weekley substituted, Cranford marched down-field. Rah way was badly outclassed and was never in the running. This marked the 7th consecutive game Cranford High School teams had won, counting the last two victories of the previous season. According to experts, Cranford's first loss loomed on the horizon when East Rutherford came to town, but the hard-charging Blue and Gold line repulsed all attacks, while the East Rutherford line, although of fine defensive calibre, was unable to subdue all Cranford onsets and the locals triumphed, 14-0. Before a capacity crowd the next week Cranford played Hillside, the only team to hand them a defeat last year, and that a 7-6 setback. Paced by Cy Dadd, who scored 4 touchdowns, Cranford utterly avenged themselves to the tune of 34-0, the team trampled and pillaged the Hillside defense and crushed all Hillside advances. It was a satisfying revenge. An underrated Carteret eleven played way over their heads to put up a stiff battle before succumbing, 14-0. Putting up a surprising aerial attack the Middlesex County lads advanced far into Cranford territory as soon as the game began, but the locals recovered themselves, and struggling valiantly, finally won. In the next to the last game Cranford travelled to Millburn and the latter played perfect host, bowing to the guest, 25-6. A stiff wind held Cranford back momentarily but they cashed in when they had it in their favor. Playing under bad weather con- ditions both teams covered themselves with glory, but the victor's superiority was apparent. With a championship in sight and an undefeated record near,, Cranford, worn out after the toughest schedule in the state, dropped its last game, 7-0. Refreshed with a two weeks' rest the Glen Ridge team scored early and resisted the weary, valiant efforts of the Cranford offense. Indeed, Murphy of Glen Ridge was an out- standing back but Cranford in its prime would have rumpled all the Ridgers and won. They didn't however and the record stands at 9 won and I lost. This is the amazing percentage of .900. The loss snapped an I I game winning streak of Cranford elevens. During this streak the Blue and Gold steam-roller scored 226 points or about 22 per game while the opponents tallied 33 markers or exactly 3 per tilt. The Blue and Gold squad finished their season with the highest rating in the Dickinson system which is used, but the committee of the state decided the Glen Ridge setback was too much and Bernardsville was awarded the honor of the State Championship. We Seniors salute a truly great team and coaches. To the returning veterans we say as Captain Cordner said at the banquet: "To have a successful season, no matter how many games you lose, go out and beat Glen Ridge!" Page Seventy-seven HOCKEY This year, 33am, Cranford has put a successful hoclcey team on the ice. Coach Quaintance's charges five times eme^ed victors and only twice did they bow to com- petitors. Three shutouts were chalked up a3ainst opposition and only once did Cran- ford fail to penetrate their opponents' net. Twelve skaters received letters for their efforts. Bob AcUand was captain of the squad.

Realizing that latent talent lies dor- mant if not encouraged, Mr. Weekly always strives for as many track candidates as possible. Although Cranford's loss from graduation was unusually heavy, enough of the veterans remain to form a neucleus. In the running events, Howard Stanley, Joe Matteson, John Shaw, Lemuel Dix, Leonard Osterheldt, Jonathan Miller, Joe Tineo, and others will carry the flag for C. H. S. Among the tried and true in the field events are Wilfred Dorn, Vincent Lusardi, Howard Stanley, Martin Klein, Bill Cordner, Bernard Schirmer. The Gold and Blue launches a campaign this season against exceptionally stiff competition. All our opponents are determined to beat Cranford, but Cranford is just as determined to show them that it can't be conquered. Seventy-nine TENNIS The net team, composed mainly of underclassmen, once again has completed a delightful season. Aided by some fine weather, the squad put in some early practice and wound into form in fine style. The team gave shining performance in many matches and looked like future Davis Cup material. Page eighty BASEBALL The season for the national game has finally rolled around. Gloves, bats and balls are taken from their winter storage to be pressed into use. Once again Coach J. Walter Coffee issued a call for diamond candidates, and as in other years, a great turnout was on hand. Only five lettermen answered the call, Cy Dodd, veteran backstop, Bob Anderson ace twirler, Bruce Russell, fireball southpaw, Ollie Nemeth, slugging first sacker, and the star infielder, Kenny Griffiths. However a strong second team from last year plugged the remaining gaps and the Blue and Gold swept through a successful season. Page Eighty-one fr.
