Columbia High School - Mirror Yearbook (Maplewood, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 146 of the 1931 volume:

I • Maplewood Memorial Library Maplewood, New Jersey Foreword v In this issue of The Mirror we have endeavored to reflect not only the past history of the Class of Nineteen Thirty-one, but also the life of Co- lumbia High School in general. We hope that you will be able to see a clear reflection of the opportunities Columbia has to offer in her organi- zations and clubs. It is with this idea in mind that we present the Nine- teen Thirty-one Mirror. Jeanne Adams Dedication We, the Class of 1931, respectfully dedicate this Mirror to our esteemed prin- cipal, Curtis H. Threlkeld. Ours is the first class to have completed its entire course in Columbia High School under his guidance. To his forceful leadership, his kindly advice, and his warm friendship, we pay grateful tribute. Columbia JOHN H. BOSSHART Superintendent of Schools ENGLISH Maurice E.

In the years of life's hard struggle We care not what's in store, For thy motto is our motto, And our cry, Excelsior! In the years of life before us Our minds shall turn with pride To the memories of our school-days And to thee, our lifelong guide. If success through life should crown us, All honor shall go back To thee, Columbia High School, And the dear old Red and Black. Thy traditions, Alma Mater, We shall always strive to guard, And to win thee fame and honor, Through our life we shall work hard. 'Tis no matter where we wander, Still our love shall never lack For the dear Columbia High School, And the dear old Red and Black. aMlllllllllll Senior Class History THE Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-one, a very active one in all school activities, has three features which distinguish it from classes of former years. First, it has been fortunate enough to be the first class Mr. Threlkeld has super- vised through its entire four years; second, it has been the first to spend its entire high school career in the new building; and, third, for three successive years it has been under the guidance of three different teachers. As freshmen, with Mr. Stube as guide, a small number of those in the present class launched their careers as high school students. To welcome them, the seniors gave a party in their honor. A play entitled Rastus and Rastus Junior was given as an assembly program. In their sophomore year, still under the kind guidance of Mr. Stube, the entire number that comprises the present class united in one of the largest sophomore classes the school has ever seen. Booth Tarkington's Travelers was given in as- sembly as their contribution. A young man from India, whom Mr. Stube knew and who was studying in America, consented to speak to the school concerning the Hindu customs. A very enjoyable program was the result. And last but not least, during this year many of our boys participated in the various school athletics. The first event of importance which took place in the next year was the Junior Prom. Held in the gymnasium midst a myriad of streamers and flowers, it was a night long to be remembered. The annual production of Junior Night also was a success. With many members of the class active on varsity teams, still more partici- pating in clubs and extra-curricular activities, it can scarcely be said that the junior class was lacking in prominence or school spirit. In the course of the year, and under the guidance of Miss Carley, a Junior Class Council, consisting of the class officers and the home room chairman, was established to regulate the affairs of the class. This system has continued to be used and has been adopted by the present junior class. And now we are seniors! As a beginning, with the advice of Miss Hayner, our guide, a party was given by our girls for those girls attending Columbia for the first time. The motive was to promote friendship between the two groups. Our play, You Never Can Tell, given at mid-year, was met with enthusiasm. The Senior Banquet was enjoyed by all those present. And next, the Breakfast given by the senior girls for their mothers promoted a greater friendship among everyone who attended. In accordance with a custom set by last year's class, the usual class night ceremony was omitted. We know not what is in store for us, but whatever it may be, we shall always have pleasant memories of our high school days to recall.

DORIS YOUNG Play Committee. Girls' Glee Club I, 2; Chorus 3, 4; Parnassian Fifty-two Senior Class Prophecy DUE to the fact that the class of 1931 abounds with latent possibility, the stu- pendous task of making this prophecy was most unbalancing to the mental equilibrium of the awe-stricken assignee. However, with great deliberation, and with the aid of the fates, he succeeded in evolving this mystical but irrevocable prophecy, which he feels will put the authen- ticity of the Delphic Oracle in the shade of doubt. It is suggested that the fated ones whose future roles are herein cast make no attempt to alter the course of events, for they are as powerless as puppets in the relentless hand of the all-powerful and clairvoyant apostle of destiny. The Prophet of 1931, the rival of the voice of Delphi, decrees as follows: FUTURE OF THE FEMMES OF ‘31 JEANNE ADAMS .................................President of the Women's Club FLORENCE ( HOPPIE ) HEFFNER........................Renowned night club hostess ELSE ASHWELL...........................................A mannequin at Altman's ETHEL HOF .................................................Model housewife ELEANOR ANTHONY............................................The four-hundredth PEG CHAMBERLAIN AND THE GIRLS.............................Scions of domesticity JEANETTE SAYRE........... .....................First woman president of U. S. JANET BREWSTER.............Model for the well-known motto: Reach for a Lucky BETTY WILLIAMS.............................................A great success KITTY KREITLER.............................Ph. D., but no horn-rimmed glasses FUTURE OF THE MEN OF '31 RAOUL NEHR............Financial genius; bain of the bulls and the best of the bears WILLIAM LONGLEY.......................President of American Medical Association WILLIAM DENNIS....................................................Successful bond salesman RAYMOND WOLBER........................................Gentleman (?) of the press WILLIAM BAMERT............................................Successful business man HARRY STARK................................................A Davey tree surgeon WILLIAM CURTISS..........................................Captain of the Leviathan RICHARD HAIGH.........................................U. S. Ambassador to France KENNETH SANDBACK......................................Successor of Knute Rockne DREW MIDDLETON........................................Grantland Rice's successor Fifty-three Let us now fix our glances onto some of these same personages after their earthly lots have been fulfilled. They now appear before the be-haloed keeper of the Pearly Gates. ST. PETER (as Jeanne Adams appears)—Well, daughter, what hast thou betaken upon thyself to justify thy earthly existence? JEANNE—I was president of the Women's Club in 1945. ST. PETER—Pass on while I inscribe thy meritorious work in the archives. Next? (Enter Raoul Nehr, burdened with age.) Raoul, give an account of thyself. RAOUL—I was the man who put Wall Street where it is today. ST. PETER—Avaunt, thou penny-pinching money changer! Next? (Enter Hoppie, amid thunder and lightning.) What's thy alibi? HOPPIE—I did all I could to make life merry for people. ST. PETER—Enough said. (Enter Raymond Wolber with closed mouth.) Why, Ray- mond, what is the cause of thy closed mouth? CHORUS (in loud voices)—Raymond has been suffering from loc (?) jaw! ST. PETER (to Ray)—Pass on. I can't question one who is unable to defend himself, (looking over the assembled crowd) Goodness! Is this an authentic representation of Columbia products? CROWD—Yes, certainly. By all means. ST. PETER—(walking to gates and opening them.) Enter all. (he questions them no further because he is satisfied.) And this is a true picture of the destinies of the class of 1931 Fifty-four Senior Class Play ON NOVEMBER twenty-second the senior class gave the comedy-drama of George Bernard Shaw, You Never Can Tell . Raymond Wolber reached the climax of his brilliant career in Columbia dramatics, playing the part of the smooth waiter whose theory of life was you never can tell. Ray's deft handling of trays and napkins was aided in the manner of a perfect waiter by Kenneth Montchyk. Janet Mireau and Bertram Tower, playing the parts of the amiable twins, so provoked the mirth of the audience throughtout the play that anyone who had entered the auditorium expecting a somewhat amateurish even- ing, left knowing the curtain had just fallen on a production as finished as one of Jane Cowl's. As Glorie, the elder sister, Eleanor Anthony won the admiration of the audience and captured the heart of the hero, Dick Haigh, who shall always return to our mem- ory as the handsome and winning man of the ivory and gold . Mary Marks aptly portrayed Mrs. Claudon, the mother of the twins, and upheld with conviction her be- liefs in twentieth century standards. Akin French's understanding interpretation of a father's love for his long absent children deeply stirred the audience. Greenman Moore played the part of Mrs. Claudon's solicitor, and endeavored to relieve the situation with a word of advice (that is, when the twins were not complicating matters to a greater extent by their vivacity). Many blunders of the solicitor were rectified by Louis Labiaux, who portrayed an eminent lawyer whose deep insight into human nature moved the audience throughout the last act. Fifty-seven Senior Class Will THE SENIOR CLASS has struggled long and hard. Some members have fallen by the way; most of them have made the climb. The latter have gained m the ascent a certain ripeness of intellect and clarity of judgment that allow them to make this their last will and testament with ease, and yea, facility. They have many things for which, because of their metamorphosis, they have no further use. These things, their worldly, tangible, and intangible possessions, they bequeath with dis- crimination and intelligence, as follows: Item: To Miss Hayner, countless happy days in Paradise to make up for the countless hours she spent in chasing, chastening, and checking us. We, the seniors, trust and stipulate that she use these to the same advantage and obtain the same benefit from them as she did from applying them to us. Item: To Miss Duff and Miss Chamberlain, domestic tranquility not quite of the same order which prevailed at the dress rehearsal for Junior Night in 1930. Item: To Mr. Gnagey, a stevedore's picturesque vocabulary to replenish the stock of epithets he depleted at the expense of the procrastinating year book staff. Item: To the fairer members of the faculty, more, bigger, and better engage- ment rings. Item: To the members of the faculty, the hope of getting another class as keen, as insatiable in the desire for knowledge, as cooperative, and as incomparable as the members of '31. This will probably be the classes of '32, '33, '34, or any other class that happens to be graduated from Columbia. Item: To the class of '32, the good times and facetious spirits for which we no longer have use. We hope these (the facetious spirits) will get them as far as they got us of '31. We would rather not say how far that was. Item: To all other students to whose lot it shall fall to go through Columbia, we bequeath the same measure of success that we attained in this school (hoping that said students never find out how much success that was). Item: To the school engineer and janitors we bequeath positions in schools with- out pupils. This will eliminate most of their worries, troubles, and cares. Item: To posterity, nothing. Posterity will be just as well off that way. Item: As there are those among us who have certain priceless possessions which they desire to dispose of, they bequeath to their less favored fellows the following legacies: I, Pat Stark, bequeath my spirit of curiosity in seeing how far the defensive full- back will bounce when taken out by the guard on the Hay to Chriss Saville, who will as before let his curiosity mark his playing. We, the foolish four—Nehr, Stymus, Longley, and Merritt—bequeath our appre- ciation of all that Miss Memory has done for us to anyone who can come back at one of Miss Memory's come-backs. I, Helen Satoff, leave my undenied erudition to Betty Story, to whom I hope it will not be superfluous. Fifty-eight I, George the Great Kernan, bequeath my sunny disposition to Biscuit Tay- lor in the hope that he will rival my fame. I, Orland Condit, bestow the rubber worn off my Crate in making quick stops to Mrs. Wood for making new partitions so that two lunch lines can be comfortably accommodated. I, Hoppie Heffner, leave my broad A's to Polly Samuels. I, Paul Herkart, bequeath my unerring precision in mathematical and scientific studies to Joe Pierce. May he follow in my footsteps. I, Ray Wolber, leave my talents as mountebank to Bob Whelan, as I am going to say farewell to the naughty stage to continue in a more sombre existence. I, Eleanor Anthony, pass on my claims to masculine attentions to anyone that can attain the same degree of divinely endowed smoothness as I. We, prodigies Cheston, Cartwright, Rothen, Magovern, and others of this ilk, leave our scholastic triumphs to the senior class to be divided in a manner which they shall determine. We, the briefcase-carriers, bequeath to our followers and converts, the briefcase- carriers of the junior class, our—dignity! I, George Fiacre, bequeath to the pale-skinned beauty seekers among the under- classmen, my maidenly blush. We, the seniors who were given home rooms on the third floor, give to the loathed imposters, the underclassmen whose home rooms are on the first and second floors, the negative sum of money we wasted in shoe leather. I, Johnny Price, donate my speed to Bill Biedelman, the boy protege. I, Betty Williams, bequeath my personality to Jane Goldsmith. This will make Jane the perfect woman. I, Carl Hagerstrom, leave trailing behind me my line, hooks, and sinkers for Bob Croot to go angling around with. Item: To those who thirst, we the Seniors bequeath cold, chewing-gum-less drink- ing fountains. NOTE: The class of '31 had many other worthy possessions, but being of a generous disposition, gave most of them to philanthropy before this document came due. Thus endeth our last will and testament. Senior Class Council THE SENIOR CLASS COUNCIL, which is the governing body of the Senior Class, is composed of the following members: Bill Dennis, president of the class, who presides over the meetings; Miss Hayner, the class guide, who furnishes valuable advice in many of the meetings; Marjory Harden, vice-president of the class; Harry Faulkner, Norman Beers, Katherine Kreitler, Mason Dunn, William Longley, Billie Pfiel, Mary O'Neil, and Carl Sutton. This governing body is made up of one representative from each of the senior home rooms. Its duty is to negotiate all senior class business. Business brought up in the various home rooms, and of interest to the class as a whole, is first brought be- fore the Senior Class Council, where it is carefully studied before any discussion is made. If no satisfactory decision can be reached, or if the affair is such that it re- quires the opinion of the class as a whole, the business is brought up at the next class meeting. Otherwise the results of the discussion are conveyed to the various senior home rooms through their respective representatives. In this way real efficiency is secured in the handling of senior class affairs. Sixty Junior Class Council A LARGE CLASS, such as the present junior class, finds it necessary to have some smaller organization within itself to execute the details of class business. The Junior Council is that organization. The council is composed of twelve mem- bers, one member being elected by each of the junior home rooms. These juniors meet with the class guide, as occasion demands, during the activities period on Tues- days. These meetings are presided over by the junior class president. There are several duties which the council is delegated to carry out. One of them is to expedite the details of class business so that matters can be more rapidly and efficiently presented in class meetings. Another is to carry trom and take to the home rooms suggestions about class matters. Still another duty is that of choos- ing the members for class committees and of nominating candidates for the chair- manships of these committees. This last responsibility of committee selection has been perhaps the most im- portant one the council has assumed during the year. Choosing committee members from a class of over three hundred has meant extreme care and thoughtfulness in fair distribution of leadership experience. The council has appointed some twenty class committees during the year. It has also nominated chairmen for these committees, has provided for further nomina- tions through the home rooms, and has conducted the final selections for these chair- men. To have accomplished so wide a distribution of activities in such a large class, the Junior Council feels has been worth the time and thought expended. Sixty-two Junior Prom THE CLASS OF THIRTY-ONE presented an innovation in the form of a programme dance for the annual Junior Prom. The cafeteria transformed into a garden was the scene of the school’s most elaborate social event. Gaily decorated baskets of flowers and rose entwined lattices beautified the spaciousness of the room. The orchestra was enclosed in a quaint rustic fence covered with trailing vines. To carry out the idea of a garden the refreshments were served from an arbor. Included in the fourteen dance numbers on the programme were several spe- cialty numbers by Leona Turner, an alumna of the school, and a group from her danc- ing classes; a lucky number dance; and a rush dance, in which the girls rushed the boys. The letters C, H, and S designated the three places where the girls and their escorts met to exchange partners. The smooth music of The Moonbeam Orchestra created a romantic atmosphere, strange in our cafeteria. The Prom might also well have served as a fashion review, for all of the newer styles were represented in the evening gowns of the girls. While many of the frocks were of pastel shades, black and white were the predominating notes. The class of thirty-one can feel proud of presenting another successful Prom in Columbia's history. Much credit is due to the numerous committees for their splen- did work and to the faculty advisers who aided them. Sixty-three Junior Night ANOTHER interesting and striking event of this year was the annual Junior Night. The program opened with a short musical introduction consisting of an opening ‘ musical comedy chorus, an acrobatic waltz number, and a toe-tap specialty. Following this were three one-act plays in marked contrast to any plays pre- viously presented. Submerged , a submarine tragedy, had an unusual cast of six boys, while on the other hand Rehearsal , a Christopher Morley comedy, had a cast of six girls. Suppressed Desires , with a cast of two girls and one boy, is the story of a man whose wife, much against his wishes, studied psychoanalysis. Preceding one of the plays was a Spanish number composed of singing and danc- ing. We were delighted with the talent exhibited in a tango, in which the dancers were arrayed in the native costume of Spain. Following this was a Spanish solo. Between the two other plays was a fox-trot tap dance done to the tune of Cheerful Little Earful. The costumes for this number were colorful beach pajamas. Out of this group were a few specialty tap dances. The concluding dance number was a military tap composed of twelve girls dressed in red and black caped costumes. Practically every member of the Junior Class devoted 'his assistance in some way to the Junior Night performance. Sixty-four Sophomore Dramatic Club THE SOPHOMORE DRAMATIC CLUB was organized this year in order that the sophomores might have one club wherein their efforts and talents would be cen- tered and appreciated more fully. Membership in the organization is the aim of all sophomores, because in working with one of its seven units they can lay a firm foundation for more profitable participation in dramatic work during the following years of their high school careers. This club is not only for students interested in acting alone, but also to offer experience to those who care for construction or stage setting work. Its organiza- tion provides for seven groups—the little theatre or dramatization unit, make-up, cos- tume, interpretation, lighting, stage setting, and work shop units. Each group meets once a month with its faculfy adviser and chairman to discuss a problem concerning its particular topic. The seven unit chairmen, together with the organization presi- dent and sub-officers, form the executive board of the club. The Sophomore Dramatic Club aided the glee clubs in presenting the Christmas choir. In early spring the organization presented The Waning Moon, by Louise Van Voorhis Armstrong. This play was selected, because in presenting it each of the seven groups had a particular problem to solve in order to make the final production a success. Special credit is due to the class of '33 for the foundation they have laid to be built upon by future sophomores. They have created an organization which will soon be part of Columbia tradition. Sixty-six Post Graduates WHEN SCHOOL opened in September, the Post Graduate Class was twenty strong, with Miss Low as its very efficient adviser. There has been an errone- ous idea as to what post graduates do. Listen to what the post graduates of this year have done! The first big drive of the season was for the membership in the Home and School Association. For this drive the post graduates put on a play recalling schooldays of the past and contrasting them with those of the present. There are about a thou- sand members in the Home and School Association. We believe that our efforts ma- terially helped this enrollment. Perhaps you have noticed that guests of our assemblies have been courteously ushed to a seat. Those grave and dignified ushers are all P. G.'s. This year, using the unemployment situation as an inspiration, a Thanksgiving can- tata was written and presented as the annual entertainment given by the post gradu- ates for the Thanksgiving assembly. It showed good Arthur Woods trying and finally succeeding to force our tight old Uncle Sam to put his money into circulation and to spend it freely over this great nation. In the next scene There were many vegeta- bles in a store just waiting for Uncle Sam to buy them and help the sick, the starving unemployed, and crippled people. A grand finale followed, presenting the tasty donations given by the students and teachers. The P. G.'s also presented their annual play with an all-P. G. cast. Sixty-eight School Council PLEDGE: I, a member of the School Council of Columbia High School, do pledge myself to support the rules and regulations of the school, to further the spirit of Columbia, and to help the members of the school to become sturdy, righteous citi- zens inspired by the ideal of unselfish service.

The Columbian, official high school newspaper, offers the stim- ulus of print. In writing for the paper the student has too good a time to call if work, yet he is doing the same sort of thing for which the world pays liberally. Be- sides offering an incentive for practical creative work to all students, The Colum- bian provides an exploratory field for those vocationally interested in journalism. Through intelligent news writing, the paper becomes an integral part of the school. It provides a medium for the circulation of school news; it acquaints the com- munity with the growth of the school; it represents Columbia to other schools through the exchange department. Staff membership, which depends upon competitive try-outs, can be maintained only through merit. A considerable number of inches must be contributed each sem- ester. The student keeps a clipping book of all his writings, which he presents twice yearly for approval. Weekly meetings of the staff are used either as laboratory periods for making up the paper, or for formal instruction. As special features the staff sponsors an assembly program, sends delegates to conventions, and visits news offices in New York City. The literary phase of the paper is under the management of Jack MacDonald as editor-in-chief, with Jeannette Sayre and Dorothy Holslag as news editors. John Hun- ter is business manager, while Milton Klausman heads the advertising department, and Don Kepler the circulation division. Miss MacFarland is the faculty adviser.

Seventy-four Creative Writing Club THE CREATIVE WRITING CLUB, encouraged by the success of its first booklet, published last June, began in September the second chapter of its history. Early in the year the club accepted an invitation from the Home and School Associa- tion to take charge of the February meeting of that organization. The cordial recep- tion accorded the program presented was most encouraging. In the spring the club sponsored a program in assembly, and also interchanged programs with several writing clubs in other high schools. At the regular meetings the club enjoyed the work pre- sented by the members and occasional talks by professional writers. Sometimes informal contests were held during a meeting to stimulate greater fluency and self- expression in the development of essays, short stories, and verse. Considerable in- terest has developed in the writing and producing of one-act plays. One of the most interesting projects that have developed within the club this year is the writing of lyrics which the harmony class, under the direction of Mr. Russell Shenton, has set to music. Meetings are held bi-monthly. The first is a very informal meeting which is at- tended only by those members who are especially interested in studying the tech- nique of some particular type of writing, or in considering more fully some of the work submitted. The second meeting presents the regular monthly program. Al- though the club has been organized only two years, the members feel that the work done has enriched their appreciation of the pleasure that is to be found in all self- expression. Seventy-five Parnassian Society THE PARNASSIAN SOCIETY, Columbia's largest club, has already won a repu- table name. Previously the society was known as the Forum, and was chiefly a debating society, but now it is devoted to dramatics, music, stage setting, cos- tume arranging, poster making, and play directing. In October the Parnassian gave its annual Hallowe'en Dance. The affair, one of the biggest of the school year, was a huge success and everybody who attended had a wonderful afternoon of fun and entertainment. In November the society scored again when it presented for the school assembly a play appropriate for Armistice Day. With the arrival of the Christmas season the Parnassian again came to the front with a play entitled The Table Set for Himself , which was ably coached by Miss Mildred Memory and Miss Martha Murphy, two of the club's sponsors. The annual plays given before the public in February were a huge success. Four plays were given, one being coached by a member of the society. Seventy-seven Le Cercie Francais THE AIM of the Cercle Francais is to give students interested in increasing their knowledge and speaking ability of the French language the opportunity of par- ticipating in activities with French as the only instrument of communication. Try-outs are held every September of the school year, and are open fo every- one studying the French language. Membership is limited to one hundred, and is therefore on a selective basis. To become a member one must present a piece of French work before the faculty sponsors, Miss Freeman, Miss Margaret Allen, and Miss Rasmussen, and the officers of the club. Meetings, in which several members take part, are held once a month. At one of the first meetings of the club the members were entertained with some French songs by Miss Wolcott, one of our French teachers who is an accomplished vocalist. During the year the members presented various one-act plays, dialogues, parties, and dances. One of the main attractions of the year was a carnival given for the new members. The lunchroom was decorated to represent the streets of Paris, and some of the members were dressed in typical French costumes to make the scene more realistic. In the spring a delightful one-act play, spoken entirely in French, was enacted before the entire school. The officers of the club this past year were: Richard Haigh, president: Ruth L. Smith, vice-president: Mary Marks, secretary: Jeannette Sayre, treasurer. Seventy-eight Der Deutsche Verein IN ACCORDANCE with the German Club's traditions, the year opened with the annual Kaffee Klatsch. Members became acquainted and real German games were played. At the same meeting the club was fortunate in having both Miss Merdinger and Miss Wolcott as speakers. Miss Wolcott described the Passion Play at Oberammergau, illustrating her talk with colored pictures and photographs, and Miss Merdinger gave her impressions of Germany and related a few amusing per- sonal experiences. When the Modern Language Department entertained the Home and School Association, the Wandervogel sang some German folk songs in true German style, accompanied by the violin and guitar. Instead of the regular January meeting the club visited the Little Theatre in Newark, where the motion picture of Schiller's Wil- helm Tell was presented. The scenes were actually laid in the Tell country in Swit- zerland, and a very definite idea of characters, background, and plot was obtained. This experience helped considerably in making the subsequent class reading more in- teresting. On another occasion the members attended an all-talking Grman motion picture, and were most curious to test their ability to understand the German as spoken by the native German actors. Afterwards a trip to the Hofbrau gave them an opportunity of exercising their German in ordering from a real German menu. In the spring the club gave a one-act farce and a Karzer scene from Heidel- berg. Seventy-nine The Science Club THE PURPOSE of the Science Club is to stimulate in its members an interest in science, and to keep them informed on recent developments in the scientific world. At the meetings many fields of science have been studied. Talks on radio, biol- ogy, and microscopy, as well as explanations and demonstrations of chemistry, have played an important part In our programs. A feature of our meetings was a talk on the electrification of the Lackawanna Railroad. Movies and slides portraying the opening of electric service to the different sections of the road were shown at two of the meetings. Interesting movies on many other subjects, including telephony and electricity, were also shown during the year. According to the custom of past years, the Science Club presented an assembly program. The speaker was Dr. Kirtley F. Mather of Harvard University, noted geolo- gist, who gave the school a most interesting talk on the history of life. Another feature of the club work this year was the presentation of a program be- fore the Home and School Association. This program included several typical demon- strations of the work of the club. It is the aim of the Science Club to increase the scientific' knowledge of its mem- bers, and to interest them in the pursuit of some branch of science or engineering. The officers of the club this year were as follows: President, Chandler Bellows; vice-president, Burchard Romain; secretary, Frank Hoagland; treasurer, Ted Ellis. Eighty The Art Club THOSE OF artistic temperament in Columbia have found a suitable outlet for their interests in the Art Club. This organization, which meets twice monthly, functions for the purpose of fostering a deeper interest in both practical and or- namental art. Although its membership is limited to seventy-five, anyone interested in any form of art is eligible for membership. The Art Club began its season with a bang by going on a sketching trip which included a delicious picnic supper. Since then, events in numerous branches of art have been attempted at the meetings. Some members tried tie tying or leather tooling, while others designed and carved original Christmas cards. Perhaps one of the most entertaining meetings was spent in drawing characters of the faculty and of our fellow students. It offered all a splendid opportunity to see themselves as others see them. Other meetings were spent with success in story illustrating and in making masks and puppets. The club, wishing to introduce itself to the school, made its initial appearance in the assembly in a fashion show depicting art through the ages. The costumes for this production were designed and made by members of the club. Although the Art Club is a comparatively new organization, each year it is be- coming more deeply rooted in the organization life of Columbia. The officers who helped to carry the club through a most successful year were: President, Hilda Rolfe; vice-president, Ann Bates; secretary, Kathryn Ruth; treasurer, Doris Shull. These officers were helped by Miss Perry, who acted as faculty adviser. Eighty-one The Aviation Club ALTHOUGH yet very young, the Aviation Club has made considerable progress in the few years of its existence. It aims to promote knowledge of aeronau- tics in the school, to study the various phases of the subject, and to work tor a course in aviation in the school's curriculum. The club has advanced greatly both in the number of its members and in its activities, proving that a good deal of interest in it has been shown. At each meeting a different aspect of aviation is discussed. Interesting movies, well-known speakers, and lively discussions have made the meetings well worth the members’ attendance. An extra-curricular pre-ground course in aviation, sponsored by the club, has met after school almost every Thursday during the school year. The purpose of this course, which is under the instruction of Miss Walsh and Mr. Powell, the club's fac- ulty sponsors, is to give members a general knowledge of each branch of aviation, so that if any of them study it seriously, it won't be so difficult for them to understand. At the annual assembly program in March, a short play featuring an airplane was presented. Four trips to flying fields, airplane factories, and'the Aviation Show were sponsored by the club during the year. The organization's final activity was a model meet. Replicas of well-known airplanes, tiny models light as feathers, and fairly large twin-motored outdoor planes were entered. These contests completed a most suc- cessful year. The officers of. the club were: William Longley, president; Carl Hirshberger, vice-president; Ira Tuck, secretary; Vaughn Dowe, treasurer. Eighty-two CHORUS ORCHESTRA BOYS' GLEE CLUB GIRLS' GLEE CLUB SERVICE ORCHESTRA The Commercial Club THIS IS THE first year that students of Columbia have succeeded in organizing a commercial club. It was through the interest and enthusiasm of certain students that this club was organized. The purposes of this organization are: (I) To promote an organized interest in commercial activities: (2) to discover and serve the needs of the commercial department: and (3) to furnish a means of professional devel- opment through the readings of current business magazines, contests, trips into the commercial field, etc. Membership was open to anyone who wished to join. Students taking commer- cial subjects were especially urged to become members. At the first regular meeting, which was called on November 17, 1930, there were ninety-six members present. This was an especially good representation for a new society. Meetings of this organization are held every third Monday, and consist of a business meeting followed by some sort of entertainment. There have been some prominent speakers at the meetings to give the members a broader knowledge of the business world. At other meetings dancing or movies supplied the entertainment. Before the Christmas vacation, the club had a very successful party. The Commercial Club is still in its infancy, but it promises to be a great success. There is no doubt that with such an organization to aid in commercial work, many proficient students will be sent into the field of business. The club is sponsored by Mr. Strony and Miss Johnson. The officers this year are: President, Anne Lombardy: vice-president, Eleanor Feldman: recording secre- tary, Helen Messersmith: corresponding secretary, Catherine McGovern; treasurer, Dorothy Oliver. Eiqhty-six Varsity Football WITH FIVE leter men back and with the undefeated Steam Rollers of 1929, Coaches Philip Marvel and Harry Mahnken whipped into shape a swift and powerful charging machine. The line was composed of such stars as Cap- tain Pat Stark, all-state guard for two consecutive years; Carl Krietler, Norman Beers, Fannie Hirsh, Harry Lang, Cris Seville, and Shifty Sternberg. With this combination we downed our first aggressor, Summit, 26-0. The follow- ing week we won a much coveted game when we upset our old rival Nutley, 13-7. This was Nutley's first defeat since 1928. Our Red and Black warriors next travelled to East Orange and gained more pres- tige by defeating the Red and Blue 6-0. After scoring in the first quarter, the team played an excellent defensive game. The line proved an impregnable stone wall, hold- ing East Orange on our one-half-yard line. In this contest Gene Fiacre played a bang- up game when he relieved Krietler, who was injured in the last quarter. Two undefeated teams met at our field when we encountered Morristown. The team looked good on that cold, windy day, and came out on top of a 16-9 tally. With the aid of splendid interference, our quarterback received a kick off and raced eighty-five yards for a touchdown. Failing to maintain their stride, the team stooped to a 6-6 tie with Orange. With a revamped team we lost a hard-fought game to New Brunswick, 19-6. Bob Croot, Roy Cooper, Orland Condit and Bud Larbig obtained berths in the back field. The line men were Stark, Lang, Hirsh, Beers, Saville, Fiacre and Sckokna. The kicking, rushing, and line playing of Stark were unexcelled. In this game Krietler was unable to play the last few minutes. A week later we dropped another hard-fought game to Plainfield, 7-0. Because of a muddy field, this game was the shortest ever played in Columbia's history. In our annual Turkey Day game, we completely outplayed a favored West Orange team. Irving Blackwell, one of the best ends Columbia has ever known, who had not been able to play during the season because of an injury, starred in the back- field. His pass work aided much towards our 12-6 victory. With a loyal student body and a spirited team, a successful 1930 football season has come to a close. The team's record is as follows: Oct. 4 Summit 26-0 Oct. 1 1 13-7 Oct. 18 6-0 Oct. 25 Morristown 16-9 Nov. 1 Orange 6-6 Nov. 8 6-19 Nov. 18 Plainfield 0-7 Nov. 27 West Orange 12-6 Eighty-nine Girls' Leaders Club THE GIRLS' LEADERS CLUB is an organization composed of girls who are chosen as leaders in their classes by their physical education instructor. The officers of club this year were: President, Marjory Harden; vice-president, Ann Bates; sec- retary, Ruth Smith. The purpose of the club is to assist in the carrying on of the physical education program, to develop leadership, and to promote among the pupils a good spirit and a desire to serve Columbia. There were five leaders this year, A, B, C, D, and E, in each physical education class. The A leader got the gym apparatus out, took the roll call, and recorded the plus and minus points. B Leaders called the girls to gym, took the names of the ab- sentees, and inspected the lockers. Leaders of C, D, and E helped out in the swim- ming periods. These five leaders also helped the instructor with the class work and were prepared at any time to take charge of the class. Each leader was equipped with a red tie to distinguish her from the other girls in the gym class. A meeting of all the girls who were gym leaders was held the last Friday after- noon of every month. At these meetings problems which came up in the classes were brought up and discussed. - When a girl is once a member of the Leaders Club she stays in the club for the remainder of the time she is in high school. After serving for two years as a satis- factory leader, a girl is awarded her class numerals. Ninety-one Varsity Basketball COLUMBIA'S 1930-1931 basketball team was the best team to play on the court of the new building and enjoyed one of its most successful seasons since the 1922 squad. Coach Mahnken had experienced material in Blackwell, Sandback, and Kernan, all lettermen, together with Hirsh and Sargeant of last year's squad, and Monahan, a newcomer. With Hirsh, Kernan, and Monahan alternating at forwards, Blackwell center, and Sandback and Sargeant guards, the team won ten victories out of sixteen games and tallied 416 points to their opponents' 332. Captain Irving Blackwell was high scorer of the quintet with 105 points. He also had the distinction of being high scorer of the Oranges. Columbia entered in the State Tournament and drew Passaic in the first round. This game ended in a 20-20 tie, and an extra period was played, at the conclusion of which Passaic won by two points. The feature of this game was the defensive play by which Columbia held Passaic to only one field goal during the second half of the contest.

During the ten games on our schedule we chalked up 47 points, while our opponents were able to score only 5. Early practice was held in the gymnasium until ice became available at Meadowland Park, South Orange, where we played all our games on our own rink. After many days of conscientious practising we opened our season with the alumni. The Columbia sextet surprised our graduates by defeating them 4-1. Sum- mit was next humbled by the score of 12-1. The forward line showed great skill in passing and shooting the puck in this contest, as well as in the following squirmish with Dover, which ended I I-0 in our favor. In this game Coach Sterling used five differ- ent forward lines. We then defeated Plainfield, out passing and shooting them, 3-0. At the South Orange Ice Carnival Saturday night, January 31, our team played an exhibition game against Dover before a large crowd. The contest was played under artificial light, making it extremely difficult for either team to handle the puck. Nevertheless we succeeded in slipping two goals into Dover's net, to win 2-0. Our team's next victory came when we met Plainfield in a rough return match. Again our onslaught ended in a 3-0 victory. Cranford, with the record of eight victories and only one loss, was the next team to travel to our rink, where it sustained a 7-1 defeat. Following Cranford came Rahway, who put up a real fight. It was not until the last half minute of play that Chan Holmes, Columbia's flashy center, zipped the puck past Rahway's goalie for the lone score. We then turned our attention to Mont- clair. In this exciting exhibition neither team was able to score. Harry Lang, our star goalie, continued his excellent playing on this occasion and saved the day for us many times. On Lincoln’s birthday we played our second game under artificial light. This time our opponent was Cranford, who received a second defeat at our hands, 4-2.

This call was answered by seventy enthusiasfic candidates. From this lot Coach Marvel will pick his men for the first and second teams. After a few weeks in the armory, weather conditions permitted outside practice on the diamond in back of the school. During the few weeks of outside work, Mr. Marvel decided to use two complete infields. The positions on these infields are expected to be filled by George Kernan and Charles Weis at first base; Ray Schweit- zer, second base; Jay Rodgers and John Monahan, at short stop, and Al Volkmuth and Bud Larbig at third base. The pitching staff will be filled with Howie Secor, Charles Smoky Joe Joachim, Bunk Sargeant, Bill Becker and Irv Freund. Jack Goldsmith and Roy Cooper will in all probability be the catchers selected to receive the offerings of these hurlers. Those hoping for berths in the outfield positions which were left vacant by last year's graduation are Spud Carter, Ken Sausville, Drew Mid- dleton, Joe Weckenman, Francis Zeigler and Carl Lyons. Since practically all of last year's junior varsity have been advanced to the first squad, Coach Marvel is observing with keen eyes all possible prospects for the second team. The following is the schedule arranged by Manager Thomas Pryor: BASEBALL SCHEDULE—1931 Saturday, April II..............................Alumni at Underhill Field Tuesday, April 14......................................Cranford, Away Saturday, April 18...........................Westfield at Underhill Field Tuesday, April 21....................................Madison at Madison Saturday, April 25...........................Barringer at Underhill Field Tuesday, April 28....................................Orange at Orange Thursday, April 30..........................Glen Ridge at Glen Ridge Saturday, May 2.............................Plainfield at Underhill Field Tuesday, May 5..............................East Orange at East Orange Friday, May 8............................New Brunswick at Underhill Field Tuesday, May 12.................................Summit at Underhill Field Saturday, May 16.......................................Nutley at Nutley Tuesday, May 19.................................Orange at Underhill Field Saturday, May 23.........................New Brunswick at New Brunswick Tuesday, May 26.............................Morristown at Underhill Field Saturday, May 30............................Bloomfield at Underhill Field Tuesday, June 2.........................East Orange at Underhill Field Ninety-seven Varsity Track LAST YEAR'S graduation of such stars as John Condit, Don Murray, Thor Lund- gren, Stuart Smart, Luther Foulkner, and Wilbur Batt, put quite a gap in the 1931 track team. Although Blackwell and Price are the only two lettermen available this year, the team will be greatly strengthened in the field events with the addition of Gilpen and Sandbach. With practically unknown material Coach Mahnken entered several promising runners in the Sunday Call meet. The competition was strong; nevertheless, John Price finished first in the 220 heat, while Charles Annette came in first in his 440 heat, and Joe Murphy took second place in his 440 heat. None of these boys had the good fortune of placing in the finals, but they did very well considering their in- experience. The next winter meet was the Dickinson games, in which the boys were more successful. Bob Button was the star for Columbia, winning two first places, one in the 70-yard dash and the other in the 220. Harold Burr and Joe Murphy took third places in the half-mile and 220-yard novice, respectively. Harold Burr’s work was especially commendable because this was the first race of its kind he had ever run and practically every leading high school was represented in it. Then came the Indoor Championships on Saturday, March 7, 1931, where George Burr won fourth place in the one mile and Carl Hagerstrom came in fourth in the half mile.

Pre- vious to this year, tennis has not been recognized as a letter sport by the Athletic Association Council, because there has been no coach. This year Mr. Wenker will coach the team. Practice was started in the boys' gymnasium early in March with thirty-five can- didates present. Indoor practice will continue until tne courts in back of the school are available. The season will open with Plainfield at Plainfield, on May 4th. West Side will be our second opponent, on their own court, May 6th. Three days later the team travels to Atlantic City. Our first home game will be with East Orange on May I I, followed by Orange, May 13, at Orange. Westfield will be our next opponent at home, May 15. Two more home games, Orange on May 18, and Plainfield on May 22, follow. We then play East Orange and Westfield away, May 25 and 29. West Side, West Orange, and Summit also appear on the schedule later in the season. We expect strong opposition from all of these teams. One Hundred and One Girls' Athletic Association THE GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, which sponsors all girls' athletics, is com- posed of a general organization and a council. One becomes a member of the organization upon the payment of the annual dues, which entitle one to all the privileges offered by the association. These privileges entitle a member to play on a class team, to see the class games, to attend the annual entertainment and to be elected to a council office. The intra-mural sports which the association sponsored this year were soccer, bas- ketball, volley-ball, baseball, track, tennis, and swimming. As there was no varsity basketball for the girls this year, home-room basketball teams were organized. These teams played until they were eliminated from the tour- nament by a defeat. The interest which the girls showed in the home-room tourna- ment proved that they would like to continue it in future years. The Council awarded class numerals to the members of the winning inter-class teams, to the victorious home-room team, to those who earned seven points in a track or swimming meet, to those who reached the semi-finals in the tennis tournament, and to girls who had done salistactory work for two years as gym leaders. The Columbia C was awarded to all girls who had earned five sets of class numerals. At the annual dance given in the spring, every one who attended enjoyed the music, refreshment, and dancing, and tried for the prizes: One Hundred and Two BEST DRESSED BIGGEST BLUFFERS BEST LOOKING SENIOR BIGGEST FLIRTS WITTIEST MOST ATHLETIC STATISTICS BEST ACTORS Senior Squibs JEANNE ADAMS Jeanne is good, Jeanne is kind, We also like her merry mind.
