HENDERSON Dean of Girls DEDICATION We, the Class of 1953, dedicate this yearbook to our new principal and friend, Mf. Robert L. Amsden. In his first year with us at Columbia High School he has demonstrated inspirational leadership and a warm understanding of young people. Mr. Amsden has been quick to realize the qualities of our school; and since his first talk to the student body, he has encouraged us to take advantage of the rich oppor- tunities offered here. He has pointed out the many superior facilities both physical and educational and has urged every student to engage in some extra-curricular activity. Mr. Amsden has stressed the importance of the Student Council, and he has enthusiastically supported all activities proposed by that body. All of us have come to recognize the sincere kindness and deep sense of responsi- bility that Mr. Amsden feels toward each member of our student body. In one short year at Columbia High School he has made countless friends among the students. All of us who have worked with him on School affairs have witnessed his exceptional talent for leading young people. We, the Class of 1953, are both honored and pleased to be the first class to graduate under the administration of Mr. Robert L. Amsden.

We re graduating, the class of 1953. We should be thinking of our future, but all that comes to our minds is memories of the three wonder- ful years that we have spent at Columbia High School. The first year our class was about the same as most sophomore classes. We did our homework, went to football games, sat in the cheering-section, and got caught ‘up in the mad whirl of extra-curricular activities that characterize Columbia. We joined various clubs, went out for sports, attended sophomore briefing sessions for the Columbian,” and worked on committees until our heads spun. A good many of us joined the Sophomore Dramatic Club, and had a hand in the production of the two assembly plays and the radio play which the Club presented. Our sophomore year was the first year in the school's history that girls were allowed to join the band; this provided another opportunity for some of us to participate in school activities. We took the Kuder Preference Test, which gave us guidance in choosing our careers and determining what we wanted to do when we left Columbia. But leaving Columbia was far from our minds during our sophomore year. Our junior year was full of fun, work, and excitement. It started off with Columbia winning the state football championship. What noise at that assembly when we were presented with the trophy! Then came the Christmas assembly, when Parnassian presented that wonderful pantomime, The Doctor of Lonesome Folk, which was done so well. Naturally, the highlight of the year was Junior Night. You could call us pioneers, because our class didn't follow the tradition of putting on a musical comedy. We staged a musical revue, On Your Mark. The songs were wonderful: Bubblin' Brook, Get on Your Mark, I Left My Love Behind, and all the others. The skits were riotous. We certainly can be proud of our Junior Night. We had a lot of fun as juniors; it was exciting, too, especially during election time. The elections were important to us, because we were choosing the members of our own class who would guide us during our senior year. Most of us took it quite seriously, and we all gained good practical experience in voting. All of us would like to thank Mr. Sheeley for doing such a magnificent job as principal during our junior year after Mr. Crehan's untimely death. Mr. Sheeley contributed immensely to the success of the school, and we, the class of 1953, deeply appreciate his efforts. Finally—our senior year. The first important thing that happened was meeting our new principal, Mr. Amsden, and finding out what a wonderful person he is. National elections also occupied our thoughts during the early part of the year, and most of us took more notice of politics and world affairs than we had done before, for we discussed the election in class and learned a good deal about the functions of our government. Of course an important event of the year was the Senior Play. The Play Reading Committee had been busy all summer, reading plays and deciding which to bring to the class to vote on. We broke traditions again as we had done with Junior Night by choosing Our Town, by Thornton Wilder, for this play wasn't a comedy, as most previous Senior Plays had been. Our Town” was a drama of everyday life, done without scenery and with few props, and so a good deal of the action was in pantomime. This really was a challenge to the cast, but they came through with flying colors. Everyone said Our Town was one of the best senior productions ever presented at Columbia. Many other events of note took place during our last year. An intramural touch football league was organized, and many of the boys took an active part in it. We were all interested in the movement to obtain a driver-education course for Columbia students, and most of us wish that we could have taken advantage of such a course, for we feel that learning to drive well is an important part of education. Another event this year was the special assembly program honoring Mr. Marshall Bartholomew, the well-known composer and arranger who graduated in Columbia's class of 1902. Graduation is just a few days away now. How we hate the thought of leaving. Others must have felt the same way. But there are memories to take us back. We will always remember the three wonderful years we spent here, and we ll do our best to make Columbia High School proud of the class of 1953.

But today there was a new bartender, and instead of celery tonic, he slipped me a shot of root beer. Unaccustomed as I am to alcoholic beverages, I was knocked by this devilish potion clear into the next generation. There I was, suddenly catapulted by a capricious bartender into the year 1984. Contrary to the predic- tions of George Orwell, no Big Brother signs were to be seen. I found myself in a large metropolis, named Kasenville after the dark horse candidate who had trotted into the office of city veterinarian. Kasen, helped by unscruplous city-boss Stuart Silvers, had, with the aid of statistician Frank Miller, stopped the pound from going to the dogs.” Since root beer addicts are notably curious, I carefully investigated my surroundings. The first familiar sight I saw was Martin Mink, who was wearing around his neck a large sign saying, Slick Spacemen Select Pressurized Suits at M-k's.” He invited me to come with him to the On Your Mark theater, where Jim Moss and Beth Rosenberg were starring in the new show Kiss of Fire, produced by Jean Forkel. I found a seat just in time to see the tail end of a Krueger and Sarles comedy routine. Sitting next to me was Marianne McKenna, famous columnist, who writes Kasenville Karousel.” On my other side sat Tony Levy, famed disc jockey and music critic. As electrician Jack Kineke dimmed the houselights, my ears were greeted with the melodic sounds of Bubblin' Brook, written by the queen of Tin Can Alley, Mady Green, and sung by Bev Kapp. A purple spotlight shot forward and there before me were Bob Brown, Pete Siebert, Jerry Dunham, and Dave Cook playing music so cool that frost began to form on the windowpanes. Gar)' Tischler was next on the program. In tearful oratory he begged for contributions to the Unemployed Actor's Fund. Sandy Fox followed Gary with an amazingly realistic imitation of a seventeen year old girl gone completely insane. Margery Behrendt and Carol McKim then danced to Rhapsody in Purple, by Judy Marcus. Erik • Heystek, next on the bill, crooned one of those beautiful love songs which have made him famous all over the country. Jerry Tumarkin, displaying his timeless capacity for modesty, ended the show on a delicate note by zooming in through one of the windows, in a red and black rocket ship, and crashing into Bob Brown’s bass drum. When the show ended, the audience rose as one man, and he left. I hurried out to the street, just in time to catch a glimpse of fiea Meltcr, the girl whom a poll of spaceship mechanics had named, The Person I Would Most Like To Be Stranded On a Planet With.” After buying a copy of the Kasenville Columbian, edited by journalist Marianne Durand, I tossed a nickel to John Loeser who was strumming his guitar on the street corner, and settled down on one of the comfortable park benches provided by city treasurer Tom Dailey. Mancinelli Jumps From Rocket Ship Without Parachute was in large print at the top of the paper. Underneath it was a picture of channel swimmer Jim Karkus, taken by the omnipresent cameraman Hal Cohen. Other headlines were, Magnus, O'Neill, and Killough Star in Revival of Wilder Classic, Wood- ward Disproves Einstein, Says 'Theory Obsolete',” Bill Davies Flies Toy Plane to Mars,” Miners Strike Against Sickley Coal Mines, Paul Hoffman Leads Picketers,” Margaret Rcmondelli Leads Crusade To Wipe Out Dirty Dealing in Sanitation Dept., and Claire Gormley Involved in Fur Coat Scandal. Somewhat satiated with newspaper headlines, I strolled over to the athletic stadium, where the Olympic Games were being played. Bob BergofTen, Ray Ellison, Avy Gross, and Jack Bird, representing the U.S. swim- ming team, had just succeeded copping the men's twenty yard medley relay dog paddle. On the track Roy Faulstick, rather fatigued from his two mile sprint, joined speedsters Carl Hauser, Jim Rose, and Paul Stille in a denunciation of sports scribe Bruce Wood, who had recently berated them for having one track minds. Monique Kastner, Gail Burkett, Judy Hemhauser, and Ceil Nardone, the cheerleaders, despite their forty-five odd years, were clapping madly for the basketball team. Challenger and Douglass had just set the world record for set shots made during pre-game practice. But I was feeling rather sadistic, so I crossed town to the Kasenville Cougars football practice. Coach Sonny Scola was putting Clyde Ronnie, Ray Van Orden, Frank McGrath, Warren Davis, and Ricky Ericcson through their paces in preparation for tomorrow's big game with the Kasenville Home for the Aged. Baseball season not yet having concluded, I dropped in at the Universe Series. Ray Rizzuto was slug- ging away as usual, helped by moundsmen Turner and Hartman and catcher Sal Rizzolo. Far off in the distance I could see Jim Quinn lazily bouncing a tennis ball off a convenient garage. His yearning plea Tennis Anyone?” echoed across the plains of Kasenville. My hangover was beginning to wear off, and I just had time to pay my respects to the Town Museum. Rather amazed by the fact that everyone at the gallery was standing on his head, I asked the caretaker. It's Judy Aron’s and Eva Fleg's Ancient Art Show he remarked. One root beer cannot last forever, though. Its effect worn off, I awoke somewhat dazed, on the floor of the neighborhood tavern. Shocked by my awesome experience, I have joined Root Beer Unanimous and have resolved never never to touch anything stronger than celery tonic.

Page Sixty-six □ UR TOWN In choosing their Senior Play the Class of 1953 departed from the usual pattern of previous years to present Thornton Wilders extraordinary and moving drama, Our Town. This play depicts the life of a typical New England town at the beginning of the twentieth century. The first act shows The Daily Life of the town; the second act, Love and Marriage.” In the third act, Wilder brings back the spirit of his dead heroine to point up his theme—that life is too wonderful to be fully realized by anyone alive. Wilder makes a plea to his audience to stop just for a moment and try to realize all the wonderful things life holds for us every single day. In order to present this most unusual play. Wilder enlists the imagination of his audience. All scenery and most properties arc dispensed with, and the audi- ence is asked to supply them mentally, with the help of some pantomime by the actors. However, the use of pantomime presented some strange problems in rehearsals. The actors had a difficult time finding the handle of a door that wasn't there or eating breakfast from a bare table. The Sound Effects boys had no easy task either, simulating such sounds as a horse's hooves, chickens, and a lawnmower. After six weeks of rehearsal, the Class of 1953’s production of Our Town was presented on the eve- nings of November 21 and 22. The reception it received was a full reward for the hard work of the director, Miss Mar)' F. Clutton, and all who con- tributed: cast, crew, and the many committees.

The show revolved around the class of '54's preparation for its production, depicting college life in the roaring twenties. This background opened a large field for music and dances; Top Secret rocked with the Charleston and the Black Bottom. Almost everyone in the Junior Class partici- pated in the production. A great deal of credit for the success of Top Secret is due to the Production Director, Mr. Alex Reed; the Musical Director. Mr. F. Russell Shenton; and the Dance Directors, Miss Marguerite Kuhlman and Miss Alice Pesh. In keeping with the Junior Night tradition. Top Secret was a gay production, with many lively songs, dances, and talented performers. It was the kind of a show which is as much fun for the cast as for the audience.

CROSSON The first offering of this year's Sophomore Dramatic Club was a one-act comedy by John Kirkpatrick entitled A New School of Wives. The story concerned the problems brought upon the Dunlap family by the attempts of the daughter of the house, Ellen Dunlap, to find herself.” The advice of Ellen's three school friends, each a most distinct type, only succeeds in making Ellen feel all the more that she lacks a distinctive personality. However, Ellen's problem is solved when she finds that her boy friend, Warren Price, doesn't mind at all if she is not an outstanding type. A New School of Wives, directed by Miss Ida Grace Alexander, delighted the student body. The Sophomore Dramatic Club launched its activities for the year with great success. rntyjii twuv Ufl to right, first rote Don Peterson, A1 Rothauser. Bill Hartke, Ricky Friccson, Charles Hoover.

Lead- ing by six at half time. Columbia dropped two points behind at the end of the third period. However, the unbeaten Mounties spearheaded by Aubrey Lewis's 26 points won the game going away. IRVINGTON 66 COLUMBIA 59 The Gems played one of the best games of the year but lost to Irvington 66-59. The Gems hit for 400 of their field goals and'actually threw in more two pointers than the Cam plow ners did. However. Irvington's pro- ficiency at the foul line proved to lx the difference. Tom Dailey has high man of the game with 2S points. Ptujc Tvlincfy-niiie SENIOR LETTERMEN Tom Dailey Big Tom, the 6'4 center, found it difficult to miss a hook shot and against Orange sunk 90' of his shots. Also, Tom was the club's most effective foul shooter sinking 14 fouls in one game. Johnny Challenger Probably the best defense man on the club, Johnny was one of the most aggressive players to sec action this year. John was hampered only by his erratic jump shot. RICKY ERICCSON Rick was the powerhouse of the team and found it difficult to leave his football playing on the gridiron However, he was a tower of strength under the defensive backboard. Phii. Douglass Lean Phil possessed a beautiful set shot besides being the No. 2 rcboundcr on the squad. Douglass also acted as playmaker on many occasions. Arnie Brief Arnic was also a good shot but didn't see much action. However, Arnic came into his own in the last two tilts of the campaign. Jack Safirstein Jack possessed about the best shooting percentage on the squad. His jump shot was a work of art. .ovjm , First row, left to right: Don Winckler, Ronnie Krueger, Roy Faulstick, Girl Hauser, Dick Rasmussen, Willy Kemp, Carl Salzano, Hal Zaffuto, Phil Hartung, Jordan Gruzen, Walter Elliott, Dave Ferriday.

A. A. OFFICERS JOAN McCULLEN MARY HEERY MARILYN LOPRETE BARBARA BERGMANN GIRLS’ SPORTS During our first year as members of G.A.A. there were many new things to learn. We wondered what a punt, a drop kick, and a lift” were. Why? We were begin- ning our first lessons in speedball. As the months went by, we were introduced to many other G.A.A. activities; such as swimming, water ballet, and lifesaving for the water wing set. During the basketball season several of us participated in a game with the girls from East Orange. Then came volleyball, softball, and also dance club for the more graceful girls! The following September many junior girls were sporting G.A.A. numerals and letters, which they had earned the previous year by attending after school practice sessions. During the year, two juniors attended the state G.A.A. party and returned with stories of an unforgettable day. They met girls from all over the state and joined in the many games that had been planned. To climax the year the class of ’53 proudly walked off with the Class Banner at the final G.A.A. party. Now, from the top rung of the G.A.A. ladder, we look back on our senior year. Seniors and juniors found themselves left out of the first party, which was organized as an open house to introduce the sophomores to G.A.A. But we weren’t neglected for long. In October we attended a party that whipped up pep for Columbia’s football team. During the basketball season, we seniors lost a thrilling game to the alumnae. The year 1953 was a busy one and the seasons passed by quickly—full of parties, sports, and fun. Page One Hundred Jive hSsiUiVt AVi ii h 15{•«• m • i • i n n i n • hi A;! !

F. RUSSELL SHENTON Director Page Out Hundred Wine PARNASSIAN SOCIETY The Parnassian Society, under the direction of Miss Mildred F. Memory, presented The Saints Return on December 23. The message of The Saints Return is one of hope. Despairing of conditions in the world, a group of saints have left their posts throughout the world and gathered at Saints’ Rest, the half- way house to Heaven. They must decide whether to continue their journey to Heaven or to return to earth, torn by war and hatred. The saints have almost convinced themselves that the world is lost, when an old man and a young mother, who have fled their oppressed country, come to the Saints’ Rest. The saints offer them the opportunity to leave the world behind and continue the climb upward to Heaven, but the two refuse to believe that there is no hope for the world and insist on returning to earth. The faith of these two mortals makes the saints realize that they must not abandon the world; and, as the curtain falls, they begin their journey back to earth. The play was very enjoyable, and we all were impressed by the fine acting. ART SERVICE CLUE LE CERCLE FRANCAIS CJuL .
