Few of us ever climb the steep stairs to the art room, but not one of

us fails to appreciate the quiet strength of Miss Hergt’s character. Year

after year, she has contributed her time and talent towards making our

yearbook a success. Her only reward has been our unspoken but sincere

thanks. In years to come we shall remember her, not so much as an art

teacher, but rather as a woman whose unfailing generosity and quiet kind­

ness have won our admiration. Therefore, it is to Miss Hergt that we dedi­ cate our annual this year, hoping that, in this way, we can show our deep appreciation of the debt of gratitude we owe her.

Halfway up Orange Mountain stands OUR SCHOOL. Somewhat withdrawn from the road, it seems to the passerby neither unusual nor imposing. True, it has a certain beauty as it rises from the mountain-side, the green of the shrubbery softening its stern walls as they stand in sharp contrast against the deep blue of the sky. It is a beauty, however, whose counterpart can be found anywhere else in our country; for ours is a typical American high school. The green of its surrounding grounds is marred by numerous brown tracks, silent evidence of the hundreds of feet that pass that way each day, in winter’s snows and summer’s heat. The worn surface of the stone steps, too, bears the mark of the continual tread of countless students throughout the years. W ith each passing season the aspect of O U R SC H O O L varies, pre­ senting to the outside world an everchanging panorama of school life. In the dim light of many an autumn afternoon, midst the smell of burning leaves, the slopes of the campus are covered with slowly moving crowds. The flash of a maroon and white uniform, the dying sound of a school cheer, the blare of a trumpet, the pungent smell of peanuts— all are part of our football season. Later in the year, under the gray skies of winter, the students, clutching books with frozen fingers, come and go more quietly. Only the occasional roar of an antiquated automobile disturbs them as they trudge homeward over the crisp snow. Then, as the icy winds of winter give way to warm spring days, the campus becomes once again the favorite haunt of the students. Some sit in groups under the trees, talking and studying; others wander aimlessly back and forth, enjoying the momentary respite from class. If we are to discover the heart of OUR SCHOOL, however, we cannot afford to linger here. Let us join the groups of students moving slowly towards the school in response to the warning summons of the 8:25 bell. As a member of the class of ’41, I invite you to visit OUR SCHOOL, to meet the faculty and students, and to watch our everyday life. 7or three years this has been Our School— a school we have loved and are proud of. Now we are leaving the shel­ ter of its walls. Others will take our places, and soon our names will be but a memory. West Orange High will always be more than a memory to us, however. It is a symbol of Youth; it is the emblem of our own happy schooldays. In years to come we shall think of Our School and remember with gratitude the many happy hours we spent within its walls, the ideals it taught us, and the opportunities it opened up for us.

C ountless numbers of times we have mounted the steps to Our School and passed through its doors into an atmos­ phere of life and friendliness. These doors are more than 3 mere entrance, however; they are the gateway to knowl­ edge, the portals of democracy. A never-ending stream of students pass through them, forming a cavalcade which stretches back through the past and reaches out into the future, linking us to the generations of yesteryear and to the generations as yet unborn. It is the march of Youth, holding aloft the torch of education, the hope of democ­ racy.

'—" ^ n unwonted peace reigns over Our School, deserted by the students who are its life and soul. Gazing once more at the familiar scene, however, we can almost hear their carefree voices filling the air. As we stand lost in a thou­ sand memories, we can feel the soft breeze which ruffles the trees over our heads. No, Our School does not change; only the students change. Though the years may pass, we shall always find this same scene, the driveway sloping gently up from the road, the tall trees shading the grass, and Our School rising from the side of the mountain in solitary dignity.

p e R S o n n e L

Having entered Our School, we find ourselves at once caught in the midst of its daily life. The crowded halls are filled with a medley of sound. The metallic clang of closing lockers mingles with chattering voices, shouts of laughter, and occasional groans of distress. Since Our School depends for its being upon those who work and play within its walls, let me introduce you to the throng of humanity about us— to our faculty, our principal, our board of education, and most of all, to the students of our various classes.

MR Strong’s untiring work for our interests and his

expert management assuring

us of every school necessity

and comfort too often pass

unnoticed in the hurly-burly

and rush of class life. We are

able to hear him only a few

times a year; these days are

eagerly looked forward to,

and his advice is cherished

and followed.

Yet when we find him again each fall in his accus­ tomed place among the foot­ ball players, cheering as wholeheartedly and as ex­ citedly as any undergraduate; and we see him downcast at our failures or rejoicing with us at our victories, we recog­ nize him not only as our SOLOMON C.

"New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient things uncouth. They upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth.”

You, as members of the Class of 1941, are about to face new duties and new occasions to assume your responsibilities as citizens. This is your country. It is to be guided and defended. It is my hope that you have received a conception of the American way of life and what it means to be an American. I give you my best wishes for suc­ cess and happiness. S. C.

THE AD

We are not an unusual class, the class of ’41. Our lives, our successes and failures, are no magic, unfolding tale. We are merely, like our school, representative of thousands of seniors throughout America, whether in small mid-west towns or in crowded cities. W hat talents lie within our midst we do not know; what success and what fame will come to our members we cannot foresee now as we leave behind the shelter of our schooldays. Still it is backward, now, that we look rather than forward, backward over our three years of high school.

It hardly seems three years since we entered these hallowed halls for the first time, just a little awestruck at our sudden introduction into high school. It was awe mixed with pride, nevertheless; for our sudden promotion made us feel strangely grown up and sophisticated. The kindly upperclassmen, however, lost no time in informing us that, no matter what our private opinions might be, in the light of their superiority we were still children.

During our first days there were many things about high school life which troubled our unlearned brains— study halls, for instance. W hy on earth we were expected to devote whole periods to homework was a complete mystery to us. Soon, however, we arrived at the inevitable conclusion that this institution was only an idealistic dream of the faculty. Study periods, we discovered, could be put to far better use, such as, bom­ barding the pretty blonde a few seats away with paper pellets or writing long involved notes to our friends (placed on the other side of the room by some inconsiderate teacher).

As the year progressed, we began to feel at home— even to the extent of daring to investigate the more remote regions of the school without fear of being lost for days in some out-of-the-way corner. However, the future still held a few surprises in store for us. We were overcome by awe as we listened to the junior and senior debates. A few of us, however, became fired with a desire to follow in the footsteps of these modern Ciceros. Our enthusiasm, however, cooled somewhat in the face of long weeks of prepa­ ration and sank out of sight when we stood with quaking hearts before the school to make our first speech.

ier task we found before us in the course of the year was the election of s. It was one of the first signs that we, as a class, were beginning to exercise of discretion. There was, it is true, a singular lack of feminine representation our officers were boys. However, I doubt whether the girls were really disap- since Jim H ill as president, Jim Jones as vice-president, Bob Maas as secretary, Ospenson as treasurer all did splendid jobs.

was not long before our sophomore year receded into the past, and we found suddenly elevated to the position of juniors. We returned that September filled sense of our growing importance. The humiliating initiations of the Clio-Philo forgotten, we were now full fledged members of these proud literary societies. age clubs had admitted us to their mysterious proceedings. The junior boys great demand to fill out the various athletic teams. In fact, some of our class- were showing definite signs of becoming football heroes, although whether because letic prowess or personal charm I was never able to decide.

Page 36 VANCE GUARD

In our junior year the girls asserted their rights more strongly in class elections and elected Virginia Williams as vice-president. George Furey became president, and Bob Maas retained his job as secretary. Warren Morgan completed the staff of officers, filling the all important job of treasurer.

Encouraged by their rising importance in school affairs, the juniors became imbued with a feeling of self commendation. The junior debate did nothing to destroy this contented frame of mind. We noted with pride that our speakers had gained in con­ fidence and knowledge (undoubtedly due to the fact that they had conquered their fear of the library and a hatred for reference books).

Owing to our growing self satisfaction, it is well that the sobering influence of finals descended upon us at this point. However, before this calamity occurred, we had our greatest triumph of the year, namely the Junior Prom. A tremendous amount of work and many headaches went into its making, but even now as worldly wise seniors we still remember it with pleasure.

All our former activities paled in importance, however, as our senior year came over the horizon. It began auspiciously with the advent of the football season with its wonderful record, and the pride we felt when our team was invited to play in Florida (even if they didn’t go). No wonder our football players were so popular this year with the girls of our school.

The only thing potent enough to disentangle our thoughts from football and football heroes was the Senior Play. I wonder if we shall ever recover from the shock of finding such a perfect Henry Aldrich in our midst; or whether we can ever look at Mervin Binder without thinking of the caustic, harassed detective he played so well. Most of all, though I am still marveling at the grand job Joan Manda did with the part of the erratic Miss Wheeler. Altogether we were proud of our young actors and actresses and their production of "W hat a Life.” In fact, in life’s darker moments I often wished that the staff of Central High School might be substituted for some o our esteemed faculty. The ensuing chaos would have done much to relieve the monoto-,^. of school life. C* A Following our dramatic efforts, the months rolled serenely on, with only an occa­ sional break in the daily grind. Class elections, debates, plays given by the language clubs, and the basketball season— each disturbed the even tenor of our school life momen­ tarily. Nothing, however, could stay the hand of time which brought the end of our schooldays closer and closer.

While our high school career did not precisely end in a blaze of glory, it did end in a hectic blaze of excitement. The Clio-Philo Banquet, finals, and Class Day trod close on each other’s heels. Then came our last brief social success— the Senior Fare we'l; and finally the night of nights— graduation. W ith unusual seriousness and little pardonable pride, we grasped our hard-earned diplomas, sang the Alma Mater fo*J the last time, and, slowly turning away, bade farewell to our school days.

Page 38 Rinehart, is the envy of many a girl in Our School. In all of the numerous offices she holds, Joyce manages to carry out her duties with a minimum of disturbance and a maximum of effi­ ciency. She stands high on the honor roll every marking period; but what is even more important, she also stands high in the regard of everyone who knows her. Our treasurer, Gene McNerney, is known throughout Our School for his ability and depend­ ability upon the football field. Although his job of extracting dues from high school seniors is James Jones somewhat equivalent to getting blood out of a stone, Gene does not appear to be weighed down by the responsibilities of his office. He still retains his happy smile and friendly manner, qualities which have insured the permanence of his popu­ larity. Obviously it will take far more than the trials of high school to disturb our cheerful treas­ urer. If anyone is inclined to believe that this is a man’s world, he has only to glance over the school record of our secretary, Virginia Williams, to find his mistake. In a school which shows a marked preference for masculine class officers, Virginia has twice been elected to such an office. Such unusual popularity is, however, by no means V ir­ ginia’s only claim to fame. A t the head of her class scholastically she, nevertheless, finds time to take part in a bewildering array of school activ­ ities.

Life brings many changes in its train; nothing remains unaltered by the hands of Time. As we walk the ways of life, we realize the truth of this. Even our three short years in high school have taught us this lesson. W ith the passing of the years the m em ­ bership of the class of ’41 has changed; some of our schoolmates have left us, while others have joined us.

Those who are no longer numbered among our class are not forgotten, however. They have left behind something of themselves in our hearts and memories. Death itself cannot erase those memories. Hope Betts and Dorothy Stadtman were two of our class­ mates whom death has taken from our midst. Yet their memory is alive today in the hearts of those who knew them. W e do not easily forget those who have walked the path of life with us, sharing our work and our play. Thus, on our minds the names of these two are forever inscribed as members of the class of ’41.

Page 102 OUR LAST GIFT

Inevitably there comes for every Senior that last day of school which brings mixed feelings of pride and sadness. Since this is such an important milestone in our career, let us describe that day to you.

On that memorable day in June the confusion was unbearable. The noise of crashing locker doors, snatches of excited chatter, and whoops of joy echoed through the school un til the old gray halls fairly shuddered w ith sound. Countless poor souls, hardened to the uproar, staggered about under a load of papers, forlorn gymsuits, and other treasures that manage to hide in a locker undetected until the very last day. Shouldered by this harassed crowd, a few unfortunates just dazedly clutched offending report cards and blinked dolefully. Teachers, ignored in the midst of the clamor, stood w ith fixed smiles, thankful that soon the din would be stilled for two whole blessed months.

We seniors, however, thought less of the future than of the past, that day. There was the old familiar sound and fury beating around us for the last time. Brooding, I watched the "younger children” almost jealously. Near me, caught in the uproar, a tiny sophomore battled furiously, emitting vain but lusty yells for a lost comrade. "If she were as tall as Stanley Lenox,” I mused, “she could stop that awful wailing and locate her chum easily.” Then came the idea. If we could leave some of our outstand­ ing qualities, like Stanley’s inches, to our long suffering Alma Mater, we might feel happier about leaving. Eureka! W ith the help of some classmates hastily plucked from the crowd, I listed the assets— and liabilities— that we would cheerfully share. For instance, we bequeathed:

1. First, to the Junior Class in general, our ability to create an imposing H onor Roll.

2. To the Junior boys, the Valderrama twins’ charm and good manners.

3. Dot Suyker’s car to the Junior girls— so they won’t have to hook rides anymore.

4. To the school, Bud Johnson’s musical skill to store for future necessity.

5. All our ability for noisiness to Mrs. Nock’s timid Latin students. They just won’t speak up!

6. Joan A dlam ’s exciting study periods to someone who gets bored easily.

7. To Jane Thatcher, Jane Kantner’s reputation as a "prima donna.”

8. Jack O ’Rourke’s histrionic ability to the budding Barrymore of next year’s drama.

9. To (Ronnie Kiepe, Ivjfo||{ha Beattie’s way with the men— not .that Connie needs it, 13. Maureen McEvoy’s perfect accent to the "Circle Francais.” Won’t Miss Allen be happy!

14. The dependability that Walt Mahoney displayed in the Columbia game to Bob Hammarburg, next year’s mainstay.

15. To some romantic Junior— from A. Albert— careful instruction on "How to Dazzle a Math Teacher.”

16. To W ilm a W ilber, "Cookie” C lark’s infectious grins to add to her already large store.

17. For all "Blue Monday” sufferers, A. W illiam son’s wit. I t ’s a sure cure.

If Joan Manda’s popularity— relinquished on leaving school to Kay Landers.

19. Mickey Danerhirsh’s artistically decorated locker to some Junior who wants to brighten the drab school life. D o n ’t all speak at once, please!

20. From Warren Morgan, "all around Senior,” to George Pitcher, "all around Junior,” all those qualities that make Warren such a swell fellow.

21. V. Williams’ or A. Albert’s marks to D. Pepoon. Take your choice, Dorothy.

22. To all the slouching Junior girls who so annoy Mrs. Muller, Joyce Rinehart’s dig­ nified posture.

23. To the Junior Prom Committee, Jim Jones’ and Bill Comer’s superior knowledge of good swing.

24. Grace Carlson’s voluminous history notes to Miss Bliss. They’d make a wonderful text.

25. To next year’s "subscription extractors,” Ed Wells’ genius for salesmanship.

26. From Bill Hayes to Miss Weissenborn, a nonchalant attitude toward literature in general.

27. O u r Class President’s pretty waves to those girls who are forced to coax their curls and swirls.

28. A ll our thanks to Sm itty for that Lincoln’s Day speech. H e’ll make us good Americans yet!

29. To anyone who thrives on trouble, Jerry W olf’s— er— "drag” with Mr. Thomas.

30. From Stan Lenox to Brendon Byrne, the gift of loud, long, and vociferous argu­ ments.

Srt^dEncouragement to Clio and Philo in their "cup races.”

rb Mecke’s penchant for handling umpty-ump activities (and handling them £11) to an ambitious Junior, Danny Kram.

- 0>Mr. Reimherr, and faculty, sincere apologies for all the trouble we’ve caused.

ROBABLY the happiest group of students P in Our School is the Junior Class; for the juniors have recovered from their sopho­ more timidity and as yet have not taken over Senior responsibilities. This year they re­ turned from a summer of carefree pastimes full of ambition for and confidence in the following year, confidence because they had a whole year of experience behind them upon which to fall back. They felt far removed from those bewildered youngsters of the Sophomore Class whom they first met losing their ways in the halls; in fact, they seemed to have completely forgotten that they had ever belonged to that class whose members they now considered so young and insignifi­ Helen Clasen cant. I said before that they were full of am ­ bition. Indeed, they are; but already many must have attained the ends of their ambi­ tions, for they excel in many fields. Since our purpose in attending school is primarily to further the pursuit of knowledge (or at least let us hope that that is the purpose), let us first make our bow to the scholars. M any there are who have worked diligently all through the year and have been justly re­ warded for their exemplary efforts by "mak­ ing” the honor roll. Am ong those who ap­ pear consistently high on the honor roll are: Gladys Dawson, Ruth Norton, and Dorothy Pepoon. There are other phases in the juniors’ Alice Hart school life besides that of the classroom, however. The athletic side cannot be over­ looked, for the juniors have many excellent athletes in their midst. O utstanding repre­ sentatives in sports from their class arc: Bob Hammarberg, Pat Brennen, Alfred Sansone, and Dick Wagner. There is always a great cheering crowd of juniors at the football and basketball games, for they are brim full of school spirit. It is a question whether the spectators, shouting themselves hoarse with cheering, or the players in the thick of the game enjoy themselves the more. N ow as the school year draws to a close, the juniors look back over it and decide it

' I 'O pilot their ship o f state this year, the juniors have very wisely selected quiet Martin Bross. Martin is decidedly active in athletics. In fact, he is, I have heard, a note­ worthy prospect for football teams of future years. Pigskin laurels, however, are not enough to satisfy this ambitious youth; for he is also an ardent participant in track activities. Having heard much of his versa­ tility I was not surprised to find that Martin spends his free evening hours developing his reputation as an unusually talented dancer. As all captains must rest, Dick Wagner is ever-ready to take up the watch as vice- president. "Lam p,” as he is called, carries on the Wagner tradition by excelling on the basketball court. In addition, he does not lack for scholastic ability, another family trait. H owever, don ’t get the idea that it’s Lamp Wagner all work and no play; for Dick is noted for his sense o f humor. Perhaps D ick w ouldn’t mind if I mentioned that he is very "boyish” in that he loves to eat and is very fond of his dog. Shorthand may not be one of her subjects but we seniors feel that the juniors made no mistake in selecting Alice Hart to take

Among her femi­ Kathryn Fadde nine virtues can be included sewing and piano playing. She has found time, too, to earn herself a reputation as a good scholar. However, so that no one will begin to think that she is a "cream puff,” allow me to in­ form you that this pretty young miss goes in quite strenuously for that hitherto mas­ culine pastime, bowling. The juniors made a wise choice when they elected Helen Clasen class treasurer. Her pretty face, I am sure, could draw money from the flattest pocketbook. Should her charming appearance fail to sway some cold heart, a sweet voice is ready to add con­ vincing arguments to the please o f her smile. Incidentally, this last asset stands Helen in good stead in her participation in the activi­ ties o f our choir. Popular with both boys and girls, Helen is also outstanding as one o f the better girl athletes. There is one person whom the juniors can count on for ever ready sympathy and never failing patience. That person is Mrs. Nock, junior class adviser. It is to her that the juniors owe thanks for much of their suc­ cess in O ur School.

¥)ERHAPS you have noted in our midst a band of students more loaded with books, more confused about bells and room num­ bers, more hesitating in manner, and smaller in stature than the superior upperclassmen. This is the Sophomore Class, still bewildered by its sudden transition from being cock-o- the-walk in junior high school to being the least o f the unimportant in this institution of (somewhat) higher learning. Neverthe­ less, this class has painstakingly fulfilled tradition by losing itself completely the first days of school, by electing its officers only in time to enter them in the yearbook, and by outdoing the shades o f W ebster and Clay in the annual sophomore debate.

Some of these not-too-innocent youths have just discovered that home work must be in on the day assigned and that (courtesy o f the grim study hall teachers) tardiness, gum chewing, and other unpardonable crimes ring upon the offenders’ heads several Ruth Goodyear, afternoons C.

Jean Hermann, Margaret McGuirk, Janice Knoell Life may have seemed strange this year to the sophomores, the babies of Our School; but soon they will cast off the cloak of inferiority and become full-fledged juniors. No longer will they be subject to the crushing condesension of the upperclassmen; instead they will become important personages in Our School, individuals instead of nonenities.

Such a rosy picture as this the sophomores may well realize at this, the end of their year of subjugation. Alas, however, this is only half the story. I’ll wager that there’ll come a time when they’ll wish themselves back in their sophomore days. When they achieve the ends of their amibition (and we sincerely hope they will eventually) and become snooty juniors or proud seniors, then will they mourn for their lost youth. Smothered under a wealth of impossible homework, with irregular verb conjugations and chemical formulas chasing about in their heads, these erstwhile sophomores will sigh for the days when life was comparatively simple, and nobody expected them to do the work of four normal students. They’ll look with envy upon the new crop of sophomores that wander merrily about the school, gazing in amazement at the worried frowns of their elders. However, lest our sophomores become discouraged by this gloomy picture and resolve to remain sophomores forever, we bid them be of good cheer; for even the hard- worked juniors and seniors find compensations in their dreary life.

Page 11 8 Now that we have met everyone in Our School we are free to watch the daily life of the same people. A strange quiet is beginning to settle down over the school; the halls are gradually becoming deserted. Only an occasional harassed-looking student rushes madly past us in a vain attempt to beat the late bell. Throughout the school, heads are bent studiously over numberless textbooks, as teachers and pupils alike begin the work of the day. Let us, too, leave these deserted halls and follow the students into their classrooms—there to see the heart of Our School.

Sing a song of cheer;

Listen to our choir,

More harmonious each year.

Sweet refrains are blending, banishing all care;

Merry notes are lending,

gladness to the air.

As their agile fingers fly.

Squares are needed;

Pleas are heeded;

How do the rumors grow?

And gossip there,

But we girls love it so.

Painting’s done in the room on top;

But what if she’s perfect

From her head to her toes,

A girl can’t be seen

W ith a shiny nose.

A diller, a dollar,

An 8:30 scholar,

Is how he tries to do it;

But try as he will

After climbing that hill,

The late bell beats him to it.

Let’s give the boys

A lot of noise,

A yell to top all cheers.

Our team is sly,

And that’s no lie;

’Tis the best we’ve had in years.

This is the way we manage to have fun even in the midst of the educational grind. Winter and sum­ mer, we throw off the yoke of labor, whenever possible, and relax in a torrent of grins, jokes, and giggles. There are a few exceptions, naturally. The earnest pencil-push- ers here pictured apparently con­ sider the absorption of knowledge a very serious business and have no time for frivolity. Dignified Joyce Rinehart prefers to brave the world with impudence. Fondling man’s best friend, Paul Brandorff muses over one of life’s great problems. But the rest of us show a decided lack of originality. N o matter the season, these stolen moments are spent in glorious rounds of giggling gossip.

Page 138 As we are passing through the first floor hall once more, let us pause for an instant to look at our display of athletic trophies. In the mad scramble of our schooldays, few of us pause to notice the cups awarded to our various teams in past years. Yet these awards are emblematic of one of the most popular phases of our school life. High school would not be the same without its football and basketball heroes, nor half so much fun without the rest of its sports. So for a while let us review the athletic history of Our School during the past year.

EFORE you is the West Orange High BSchool Stadium. Last year it was the scene of many a gridiron victory when the Mountaineers set out to prove that a small but plucky team can come through on top. For the first time in many years, Millburn was not the first team to be met. In its place was the Irvington squad— a large team, with championship aspirations. How­ ever, a heavily unfavored West Orange team swooped down from the mountain and walked off with its first victory 12 - 7. This upset victory was followed by a decisive victory over Paterson East Side to the tune of 19-0. The Mountaineers were still labelled as lucky by many out-of-towners; but around town, everyone began to feel that Coach Wear really had dynamite, although most of it was in small packages.

Prospects in the beginning of the year were very bright with Captain Fred Martin, Don Wagner, and Sal Salerno returning from last year’s varsity five. Added to these were Jack Sexton and Dick Wagner, two very sparkling ball players. Lou Ippolito suc­ ceeded in making the first five games with no previous varsity experience and proved himself a fine courtster. Rounding out the first ten were Ted D ’Amato, Walt Mahoney, Jim McLeish, George Furey, and Gil Close. Out of these players only Dick Wagner, who proved himself a star hoopster, and Jack Sexton, towering center, return for more action next year. The following is a resume

Don Wagner then tied the game with a lay-up shot. A foul shot by Fred Martin, and a field goal by Andy Salerno won the game for West Orange.

West Orange 29 — Belleville 22 The Cowboys resumed their winning streak at the expense of a hapless Belleville quintet. In the second game, which West Orange also won 39-28, Fred Martin scored the highest point total for a West Orange play­ er in one game, when he hit the net for 19 points.

West Orange 19 — Columbia 24 With the score tied 19 all in the last period, the Cougars scored five consecutive points to take a fighting Cowboy quintet into camp. In a return game at West Orange’s court, Columbia defeated the Cowboys, 40-33, thus making it a dry year as far as a victory over Columbia in an athletic event was con­ cerned.

The most famous of these unsung heroes are our three swimming stars, Warren Morgan, Frank Kinney, and Jack Kerr. Although we do not boast a swimming team of our own, these three boys have carried the name of West Orange High into numerous state and national contests. It would be impossible to tell all the achievements of these boys. Both Frank and Warren made the mythical all-state team this year, while Warren num­ J. Hutchinson bers among his many titles those of state J. H ill champion in at least five different contests. H . Squier A . Rom Other boys in Our School who have ex­ A. Haase celled in some branch of athletics are the B. Clark ping-pong champions: Bill Rappleye of the Sophomore Class, Chick Summers, Robert Mojo, and Bob Lohrmann of the Junior Class, and Frank Lindeman and Frank Pa- vone of the Senior Class. In a final contest, Robert Mojo earned the title of champion of the school.

Enthusiasts TAPE BREAKERS A successful track season in 1940 under the tutelage of Coach Ashley resulted in a team undefeated in dual meets and the dis­ covery of a state champion. The boys main­ ly responsible for this undefeated team were: Smith, Richardson, Trietman, Todd, G. Furey, C. Furey (State 4 4 0 Champion), H Wenner Evitts, Williams, and Martin. For the 1941 track season newly appointed Wear Coach Wear must rebuild the team around G . Furey one returning letterman. The first meet of the season was against our traditional track rivals, Bloomfield. They took this meet 48 to 4 0 , taking the lead in the series two to one. Among the outstanding performers for West Orange were Blake, Kremer, Mc- Guckin, Schaefer, Bury, Hutchinson, Furey, Kerr, Green, Dagnall, Proft, Feula, Lord, and Crum. Coach Wear expects the team to be much stronger later in the season after the new­ ness of the sport wears off, and the team is looking forward to a successful season.

Page 1 S3 SUMMER PASTIMES Joe Ospenson

Along with the more popular sports of football, basketball, and track, West Orange High School also has teams for the followers of tennis, golf, and softball. For the past few years the tennis and golf teams have been playing the neighboring high schools and have made a good showing for themselves. The softball team, thus far, has been re­ stricted to intramural play between the gym teams. Last year, in a schedule of sixteen games, the golf team lost only three, two to Mont­ clair and one to Bloomfield. This year, under the tutelage of Mr. Evans, they are hoping for another successful season. O f the fourteen matches scheduled by the tennis team last year only seven were played, since the season floated in on top of about ten inches of rain. The team worked well together, however, winning four of the seven R. Burgher matches played and losing only to East O r­ ange and Montclair, State Champions. This year the team consisting of J. H ill, J. Jones, J. Ospenson, H. Meche, B. Johnson and F. Lindeman, hopes for even more success.

You have looked in on us in our class­ rooms; you have ap­ plauded our feats on the athletic field; and you have visited us in our leisure mo­ ments; there remains, however, one other phase of Our School to be explored. Our Schooldays would not be complete without their clubs, their debating teams, their dramatic and musical organizations. It is there that we find an opportunity to exercise our talents, to extend our circle of acquaintances, and also, incidentally, to enjoy ourselves. Before you leave Our School, then, let us pay a visit to each of these organizations.

Page 165 WHAT A LIFE!

One of the most difficult tasks which the Class of 1941 undertook was the production of the Senior Play. The play this year was "What a Life!” written by Clifford Gold­ smith. As in previous years the production Below, top: of the play was supervised by Miss Moses, Marie Pederson, Mcrvin Binder who has never failed to produce a hit show. Miss Hannes, who is usually to be found buried in a French book, acted as assistant director, and very ably too. Nearly every Below, bottom: senior class can boast a few outstanding Renee Goldin, Norma Furman actors in its ranks; and if you saw our play, I ’m sure you will agree that our class is no

exception.

Patsy Bull played Bottom left: Patsy Bull the part of Henry’s girl friend, Barbara Pearson, while the characters of Mr. Brad­

ley (school principal), Mr. Nelson (assistant Bottom right: Eleanor DePalma, Caroline Faust, principal), and Miss Shea (school secretary) Jack O ’Rourke were played with remarkable finesse by War­ ren Morgan, Russell Kurtze, and Adele Col­ lins respectively.

All the scenery for our play was made by members of our class. The props and make-up for the cast were taken care of by senior girls. Since the success of a produc­ tion is judged by the size of its audience, I could not speak of the Senior Play without mentioning that large corps of ticket sales­ men who, for weeks before the play’s presen­ tation, canvassed the entire school every morning selling tickets. You can clearly see that it was not the efforts of a few, but the work of the entire Senior Class which made the Senior Play the success which its audi­ ences acclaimed it.

KATZ’N JAMMERS

HE stirring music of "American Rhap­ T sody,” pouring forth from the gym, betrays the presence of the West Orange band. As we draw nearer, they switch to the lilting strains of "The Merry Widow Waltz.” Obviously they are rehearsing for the annual spring concert, where the martial notes of their concert marches will thrill us once more. Football season, however, is the time when our band really gets an opportunity to shine. A cheer goes up from the vast throng in the stadium at the sight of the maroon and white uniforms, and hundreds of people rise proudly to their feet as the band plays the familiar and beloved Alma Mater. Many are the times when they have revived our spirits in moments of seeming defeat. Even more frequent are the times when, at the end of a touchdown play, their "Boola Boola” has set us dancing and singing in triumph.

The melodious strains drifting through the halls represent the efforts of a group of girls making up the Girls’ Glee Club. Let us step inside the gym and get a close-up view of this organization.

The girls, under the expert direction of Mr. Earle Barnes, meet every Wednesday morning during activity period in the girls’ gym. The glee group is made up of about fifty girls selected from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes.

Occasionally the glee club comes out from its apparent retirement to entertain us in assembly or take part in a school concert. Whatever the occasion, however, it is a joy to listen to their perfect harmony. We, of the West Orange High School, are extremely proud of their accomplishments and have high hopes for their future.

The sound of strenuous argument ema­ nates from the room where the Debate Club is in session. A sudden violent burst of noise greets us as we open the door. Three or four members are on their feet all speaking at once. This incredible clamor continues until finally stopped by the combined efforts of president and sergeant-at-arms. Despite a seeming lack of dignity, however, the mem­ bers do display an amazing knowledge of Parliamentary Procedure; and certainly everyone does get an opportunity to improve his public speaking— that is, if he can make himself heard.

These boys to victory. lead and cheer, inspire our teams, bring out the Joe E. Brown in us, and, in general, do their best to raise the roof. I wish you could see them at our pep meetings. Supported by the band and led by their captain, Jim Hill, they rouse the student body to a frenzy as they lead the stirring songs and cheers. At the games, too, their outbursts of enthusiasm keep our spirits up and show the team just how solidly we are behind them. As the opposing team, firmly entrenched on the one-yard line, threatens to plunge over for a touchdown, the cheerleaders’ hoarse cries of "Hold ’em, Cowboy” brings a wholehearted response from the anxious crowd.

If we walk down the third floor hall past 306, we are sure to hear considerable noise intermixed with the sound of lusty singing; for that is the headquarters of the German Club, one of the liveliest organizations in Our School. As we open the door and join them, we are greeted by strains of "Wie Gehts.” The business part of their meeting is over, and the entertainment is about to begin. Several students are to speak on various German composers and musicians. Then refreshments will be served, and the meeting will end as usual with the singing of German folksongs. Throughout the year the program of the Ernest Krauth, R. Shaw, Gordon Brewer German Club is filled with activities.

One of their most difficult jobs, however, is to handle the people and organizations who xvant to give assembly programs. Debates, orchestra selections, choir presentations, and club programs, all have to be spread evenly over the years so that their dates don’t con­ flict. All in all, the work of the Assembly Council is one of the most difficult and most important activities in OUR SCHOOL.

However, while I have been reminiscing, Philo has taken up a new topic, the banquet; and the program chairman is explaining it to the novices of the club. There is among the club an unspoken deter­ mination to try to wrest the scholastic cup from Clio, last year’s winner. However, win or lose, out of this friendly competition between the two societies comes a keener desire to learn and to excel and, Herbert Meche even more important, a feeling of comrade­ ship and a sense of good sportsmanship.

It has been the tradition of our high school for each class to present before the school assembly one debate each year. These debates, which deal with topics of current interest, are eagerly anticipated and are re­ ceived with widespread interest and enjoy­ ment by the student body.

The debates are presented by two teams of four members each (three speakers and a rebuttal speaker). The eight students who participate in a debate are chosen by com­ petitive tryouts, any member of the class giving the debate being eligible.

This year the sophomores, coached by Mrs. Seaman and Miss Wilson, presented a timely and highly commendable debate which had Beatrice Sideris as its subject, Resolved: that the United States shoud adopt a system of radio control and regulation similar to that of Great Brit­ ain.

The debate, given by the juniors, was coached by Mrs. Woelfle and Miss Peckham. Their topic, much discussed at the time be- Brendon Byrne, D anny Kram

However, if we were to drop in on a Hi-Y meeting some Monday after school, I am sure we should receive a distinct surprise.

The Hi-Y is usually looked upon as a social or athletic club by uninformed outsiders. Actually, however, it is neither although cer­ tainly some of its activities do fall into one category or the other. Its primary aim is, on the contrary, to further the ideals of sportsmanship and clean living.

Our club is one of the many affiliated Girl Reserves’ Clubs all over the country which makes girls junior members of the Y.W.C.A. We meet every Friday afternoon, teas, dances, parties, and suppers being a few of our regular functions. At some of the meetings guest speakers lecture on subjects that are of interest to all the girls. This year, on April 26, 1941, we cele­ brated our sixtieth anniversary. A Mardi Gras was held, with all the clubs of the Oranges taking part. The money raised will be used to send a member from each club to camp for one week during the summer. Many of our meetings are more or less social ones where girls are girls and every one has a good time.
