) SENIOR SCOPE 15 FOURTEEN RECORDS SMASHED IN STATE MEET On Saturday, June 2, at Essex Field, Montclair, occurred the thir- teenth annual Track and Field championship. The stands were wel! packed when the starting gun was fired. Fourteen records were broken and two equalled when new and vet- eran athletes gave a succession of brilliant performances. Barringer High School took first place in class IV with 39 points. This makes Barringer undisputed state champions for the second year in succession. Long Branch took first in class III, and the Arts High tied for third place. Our team put up a desperate fight that resulted in winning thir- teen points, giving us fourth place in the meet. Arts High School scored more points than any other school except Barringer.

Having planned the outing a month in ad- vance, we were delighted to have perfect weather. We left Newark at 9 A. M. and arrived at Rockefeller Center, New York City, at about 9:45. Our guide first showed us a plaster model of Rockefeller Center which gave us a very good idea of how the Center will look when completed. The plan is to erect twelve buildings, six of which have already been completed. They are the seven-story R C A building; the British Em- pire building; La Maison Francaise; the thirty-one story R K O building; the Center theater; and Radio City Music Hall, the world’s largest theatre. We then viewed the exterior of the R C A building; looking toward the main entrance which is decorated with colored sculpture excuted by Lee Lawrie, well known American Scluptor. Directly in front of this building is the Sunken Plaza with its beautiful sculptured fountain, shrubs, trees, and flowers, with pools to reflect the surroundings. The center of interest in the Sunken Plaza is the Prometheus Fountain de- signed by Paul Manship, another noted American sculptor. This eight- een foot bronze statue is centered against a wall of dark red granite with éwo other figures, a youth and a maiden on either side. All of the figures are finished in gold leaf. Our guide conducted us through La Maison Francaise and the British Empire building pointing out many interesting things. In the main lobby of the R C A building he told us the story depicted in the Murals by Frank Brangwyn, an English artist, and Jose Maria Sert, a Spanish mural painter. We were then borne by swift elevators to the roof of the R C A building, 70 stories above the street, about eight hundred and fifty feet. Here we had an unobstructed view of the sur- rounding landscape within a radius of fifty miles. We could see the tall buildings of Newark, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, George Washington Bridge, the Hudson River, the East river, and close at hand the Empire State building and many other structures in New York City. We were all invited to have tea on the roof and enjoyed this very much, as well as signing our names in the guest book and having our pictures After leaving the roof, our guide led us through the Center This is a beautiful and luxuriantly taken. theatre, which seats 3500 people. furnished structure. After lunch we attended the performance at the Music Hall where we saw the opera “Madam Butterfly” and a “first run” talkie. This theatre seats approximately 6200 people. It is also lavishly furnished, and the only method of appreciating its beauty is to see it. We left New York at 4:00 P.M., and arrived in Newark thirty minutes later, where we dispersed. Everyone had a wonderful day. MARKET STREET NEWS The patrol is planning a hayride for June 16 as the final event of the term. Marion Petiva is the newest addition to the patrol. The swimming club is planning another visit to the R. C. A. Pool soon. POSTER CONTEST PRIZES A city wide Poster Contest given by the Contemporary Club of Newark, closed on Monday, June 14. The subjects of the posters were Architecture and Crafts. The first prize was won by Tom Anest, whose subject was Crafts, and Anthony Zuccarello, who used Architecture as his subject, won the second prize. The two winning posters and ten others were selected to compete in the State Contest. In that competition Angelo Piegari won first prize. The congratulations of fellow students are extended to the three prize winners.

Proper differentiation would rectify this misusage. When you are exasperated by the stupidity of a person, never call him an ignoramus. This work includes yourself, for in Latin. it means “we are ignorant.” Doris Doll and Irene McWalters went strolling in Belleville Park on Memorial Day. Were they ob- serving the beauty of nature or seeking romance? The human race seems to be afflicted with color-mania. Various colors denote different qualities, conditions, or moods: black and blue, bruised; yellow, pusillanim- ous; red communistically inclined; green, inexperienced; and blue, de- jected. “Don’t touch it! It hurts!” thus the wailings and moanings of the sunburned students circulate through the corridors and class- rooms. Why spend money in go- ing to the shore or pool, when one can quite effectively be burned at home? SER ESEEREEEREERES EER SEEEEEEEEREEEESE .. THE... ALAN-MILLER INC. 68 Orchard Street Newark, N. J.

14 SENIOR SCOPE nn CLASS PROPHECY We climb upon our magic carpet, which the depression of ten years ago reduced well-nigh to a napkin, and set out to find some of our illustrious classmates of the Arts High, class of June 1934. Let’s see what changes time has wrought. We are soaring over Newark’s business center and by means of our own patented X-ray, violet ray (and intra plus ultra ray) glasses, we look through the walls of an impressive office building. There we see Marcus Eskowitz, Newark’s leading zippper manufacturer. He sits in his red plush office, a pile of zip- pers before him, zipping each and everyone up and down its course. There’s little Rose Sherman! We must go down and speak to Rosie. She informs us that being a schoolmarm is a simple task; the pupils are little dears and very smart. All this time the six-foot Clark Gable at her side is giving us glances which mean he wants to be alone (with Rosie). Breezing over the country one knows that prosperous farmer down there is none other than Norman Wilkenfeld. Can’t he dig, though! Let’s visit with Elfrieda Fritz, who reminds us of Anne Parrish’s “To-morrow Morning.” Although she is married, and caring for Joie, she still hopes to find time to dedicate to her art. She tells us Margaret Sullivan is in her Paris studio at present, but will return to New York soon where the social registerites will pester her to “do them in oils.” With our magic glasses we see Dr. Claudia Barbato holding a scalpel. Though she has “blood in her eye,” the wait- ing room is crowded. There’s Catherine De Luca, driving along in a big shiny car! We'll follow her. She turns in at that estate on the left. She stops by a beautiful swimming pool. That’s John Burbella splashing around in the aqua pura cum chlorine, practicing for the Olympics. We listen in on their conversation and learn that Katie is now Mrs. Burbella. And just look at Rose Ehrenkrantz teaching dramatics in our own Alma Mater. She has recently outlined the course in dramatics for the city of Newark. Rose informs us Rosalind Zabow is married and is using her artistic touch to brighten her home in Cape Town, South Africa. That’s Allen Bornstein in court. No, you’re wrong, he’s the lawyer; that’s the defendant over there. The former Jessie Scholl strolls along, pushing Junior in his perambulator. Little Jessie skips along beside her proud mother. We see Vito Ricigliano all “duked out” in a white coat. The sign on the door reads, “V. Ricigliano, Dentist.” Why is the patient howling sort of, huh, Vito? Of course we know you're a good dentist. We decide to land for refreshments and enter the dining room of one of Newark’s leading hotels of which Ed Small is the proprietor. He is enthusiastic about a letter from George Cohen. Ed informs us that George is making a great success at starving for art. ‘He ranks among the well known artists of Europe,” Ed proudly states. We take to the air again and employing ye olde glasses we peer through the walls of a large hospital where Mar- guerite Turner is ministering unto the suffering. There’s Margaret Longus in the children’s ward. Whew! Say, you in the red airplane, do you own the sky? You almost demolished our lil ole carpet that time. But wait a minute. It’s Bronislaw Gemra. He’s dashing offto Alaska for a visit with Joseph Barry. Joe is a great ex- plorer. Let us return to the business section. We see Tom D’Ambola with his feet up on the desk in a spacious office. He’s quite a politician now. Barnum and Bailey are in town this week, featuring “Mariano Mortellito, Acrobat Supreme.” Francis Paduano stole away from his duties as Pharmacist to attend to-day’s performance. We are passing over a large theatre now and those displays are the work of Robert Ehrenkranz, commercial artist. We call your attention to a quaint little gift shoppe, with the Misses Mary Massewitch and Charlotte Form in charge. This week they are doing a rushing business, as Charles Webber’s latest book of limericks is just off the press. Albernetha Adams and Helen Mitchell appear to be having an absorbing conversation, probably about their kin- dergarten classes. We must hurry along if we intend to look in on that dinner at which Sara Goldfarb acquaints the audience with her ideas of social reform. Russel Hinkel, the outstanding reformer of this decade, will also deliver an address. After listening to all that deep, serious “speeching’”’, we betake ourselves to a place of lighter amusement. The floor show is on and the famous dancing team of Mildred Holley and Charles Walker are strutting their stuff. The next number features Grace Thompson, the Newark Nightingale. Your humble scribe lays aside her magic glasses and looks into a full length mirror. There she sees Rita O’Con- nell in the studio of her interior decorating establishment. rr aairneensee og ra INE STN Te RAMA NE AN I PP TCS Meee

ERNEST. SCHLEE MISS ALICE U. KEEHNER TWO DIPLOMAS In a few days, amid considerable ceermony each of the 4A students will be presented with a diploma. What does this diploma mean? It means that certain scholastic standards have been achieved, and that therefore the young man or woman is pronounced fit to go on to a higher institution or into the outside world. But does a mere scholastic rating mean they are fit? It would in- dicate it, but not necessarily prove it. The things that will also count when a student leaves school are willingness to help others, and good fellowship. These things can not be formally taught in an ordinary. course of study, and hence they are not fully appreciated and recognized. Nevertheless they are very important, and the person who acquires them is fortunate indeed, and certainly deserves recognition. It would be a very good idea, if, on graduation night, two diplomas were presented, one for scholaship, and the other for good fellowship. In the latter characteristic we believe the present graduating class ranks high, and to its members the staff of the SCOPE extends felicitations. JACK McGRATH, ’35. SCOPE EDITOR WINS SCHOLARSHIP Margaret Sullivan, of the graduating class, has been awarded the Fawcett Scholarship to Pratt Institute for this year. This covers one year’s tuition at Pratt. Competition for the scholarship is open to all seniors in the Newark High Schools, and the selection of the material that was sent to the judges was left to the students’ own choice. The committee which made the award included City Superinten- dent of Schools John H. Logan, Miss Marguerite Marquart, director of art in the Newark schools, and the president of the Newark Principals’ Association, Gray M. Moreland of Newton Street School. Margaret will begin her studies at Pratt in September, and will have continued opportunity to develop in her chosen field. She dis- tinguished herself last year by winning a national prize in a compe- tition conducted by the Business and Professional Women’s Club. To her, both as retiring Editor of the SCOPE and as prize winner, the staff extends its best wishes. NAOMI SOBEL, ’35. DEATH IN A NEW GUISE By NAOMI SOBEL He sat alone in the vast, empty theater. The performance was over for the others and yet not for him; he was fascinated by the extreme beauty and grace of the toe-dancer pirouetting before him on the stage. It was cold. A shudder passed through his body, and he slouched down in his seat. After what seemed an eternity, the toe dancer in the icy blue cos- tume stopped whirling and turning. She dropped to the floor and va- nished. Just as he was about to extricate himself from her spell, she re- appeared, floating up to aisle. She stopped and beckoned to him. He laughed bitterly, but nevertheless, rose slowly, hesitatingly, and went toward her. She grasped his hand. It was cold, and his grew cold too. The toe dancer disappeared. In the morning the theater attend- ants found the man slumped to the floor, dead.

It would be trite to say that he held his audience spellbound, but it is rare indeed that an assembly address is received with such wholly undivided attention on the part of everyone. The Commissioner spoke of memorials to famous men, and compared with them some he had seen to people in humbler walks of life. “Worth-while as it may be,” he said, “to commemorate the great ones of earth with lofty spires and beautiful buildings, the lesson to be learned is so to live as to leave behind living memorials in the hearts of those best known and loved. Not all can be great, but ali can, if they wish, deserve and receive such memorial recognition.” THE CRYSTAL GAZER Well! Well! Well! Summer vacation will soon be here, but don’t cease your vigilance, for the Crystal Gazer will be out among you again, ready to bring back better spyin’s than ever before for the fall. Special attention will be given to those down at the shore for the summer; so beware, students, beware. As a sort of vengeance, the faculty will not be immune to our haunting, nor spared the revealing of their activities. Let’s open today’s topics with our school idol, King Kong Kaplan, K. K. K. Sol, keep away from Betty Fredricks; there’s a heavy penalty for cradle-snatching. Poor Walter Glenn, always misquoting Mr. Perry’s quotings. Well, as our old Dutch grandmother used to say, Walter, “Live and Learn.” How does Regina Keigh cut for a week at a time without getting caught? Ray Lupton would give a small fortune (about twenty cents) to learn the secret.
