. Q . 1 I A THE LAKES f ' -A -'wmv Published by THE SENIOR CLASS Mountain Lakes High School - Mountain Lakes, New Iersey Iune, 1945 FOR EWCRD The Lakes for 1945 aims to por- tray the experiences of our'c1ass throughout its six years at Mountain Lakes High School, to help recall the intimate details which blend together to ionn the pattern of our high school days. The Lakes is the scrap- book which we have been meaning to keep: it will refresh our memories and bring to life again the experiences we have shared here with our friends- treasures to share always. Kki Adm? DEDICATION These few words, in reality, can be scarcely adequate in expressing our sincerest thanks to Mr. Herbert B. Gooden, our good friend and loyal ad- visor. But all of us appreciate his unswerving loy- alty, tireless patience, real interest in guiding us through our years in high school, and realize that the success of our many and varied activities has been due largely to his work. To Mr. Gooden, who has earned our respect and admiration, the Class of 1945 gratefully and affectionately dedicates this yearbook. 4 IN APPRECIATION LIEUT. HAYDEN L. SCHOFIELD We, the Class of 1945, express our heartfelt appreciation of the noble ef- forts and achievements of all those men and women who are serving in the armed forces of the United States. Especially we offer our homage to Scho, our principal on military leave, and to Phil Bate, Omer Claiborne, Ken Metz- ger, and Ted Mitchell, members of our class who left school before the be- ginning of our senior year and are now giving valiant service to our nation We hail these protectors of our American Way of life, and we promise to keep faith with them in our common ideals, to work and fight and pray to win the war and the peace, and to help establish a better world in the future.

DUNN Secretary THE ADMINISTRATION To the Class of 1945: As this is being written, the ever-changing clouds of war hang over all of us. Whether we are facing another squall of battle or the sunshine of peace, none of us can accurately fore- tell. The only certainty of the future is its uncertainty. In the face of such conditions, no one can plan much for the future in the way of material comforts: however a sound philoso- phy of life coupled with a good education is the best prepara- tion possible for either a war-torn or quietly peaceful world. The sound philosophy of life comes with age and experience. You have started moulding your philosophy 'by what you have done here in school while getting a part of your education. Your teach- ers, your parents, your friends have all made their contributions to your life. As each year passes more and more of the respon- sibility for your success or failure rests with you alone. We here at school regret to see you leave us, but at the same time we envy you. We have high hopes for you based on our experiences with you. We will listen with pride to accounts of your future successes and with regret to accounts of your fail- ures. You alone will detennine which you will have. We wish you the best of luck. But more important than luck we wish for you strong characters, real friends, and a great satisfaction with life in a world of peace. 7 to Right-Mr. Conarroe.

But we have had many experiences at high school which will help us face new situations. In the beginning of our high school career, that is in the seventh and eighth grades, we were becoming acquainted with the school and adjusting ourselves to new surroundings and heightened ambitions. But it was in the ninth grade that we got started in class activity. Mr. Gooden was appointed our class advisor: he urged then that we really work toward our yearbook. At the end of the Freshman year we had over one hundred dollars in our treasury. The Class of '45 has been known for its ingenuity. As a class, this qual- ity did not become evident until the Sophomore year. We gave our first class dance that year, and, wonder of wonders, we made a profit on it! Under Mr. Gooden's direction and help we erected a booth for selling War Stamps, a project which proved to be a worthwhile enterprise even though there were plenty of headaches during the process. Our Iunior year saw us st fzessfully through the Iunior Prom and the tra- ditional Testimonial Dinner and Dance. Butin our Senior year we have seen the culmination of our high school career with the many responsibilities connected with it. Under the helpful guidance of class advisor, Mr. Gooden, and class president, Louis Claiborne, we have had our Senior Ball and a successful Christmas card campaign, and we have given our Senior play, One Mad Night, under Miss Kerr's able direction. Although there has been much work connected with these activi- ties, we have had a lot of fun and we have many happy memories of times together. Thus we go forth with some learning and some understanding, with the hope of increasing both as the opportunities arise. Realizing the importance of the times that we live in and knowing the stress of war, we look with hope to the future--a future of complete victory of our aims and of the establish- ment of a durable peace. 25 iilwviws lag-if . awww, , wwf W. 5 si g . .Q 5 1.

Our 'dances have .been acclaimed by all, and this year we held the food con- cession at all football games on the home field. The annual magazine campaign has always added to the treasury, and our salesmanship ranked high. The class has a large representation in all extra- curricular activities, and several of the members are officers of school organizations. Athletics seem to attract us all, either to be spectators, or to participate as players, cheerleaders, or assistants. This year we have gained the valuable help and guidance ot our new advisor, Miss Marion Vincent. With her loyal assistance, we know we will continue to succeed in the future as we have in the past. 38 M1 6 ,Qi . , ' . f L S V J ' 1' I x fy: i l x , qxfvxtvfg g XJ Q4 ' 1' AV' SUEIJGVYKOBE' CLASS if ', xl dx' ki L - lv-1 .

In previous years our class has been rather small: however, with the addition of several members from Denville this year, we are now the largest class in the school.

A ver, Lindberg Murr R1 FOGTBALL The Mountain Lakes gridsters, who for the second consecutive year were under a new coach, turned in a creditable mark of four won, four lost for the 1944 season. The outlook was not too bright for Mr. Ciardi at the start of the campaign with only six veterans returning from the 1943 varsity. However, the T-propelled Orange and Blue upset a highly favored Fairlawn team in its opener and crushed Morristown Prep and St. Bernard's before bowing to a fine Rock- away outfit. The team suffered a heavy blow at this point when Bob Conover, outstanding ball carrier, left school. Injuries to key men were instrumental in the squad's losing three of the last four games. The boys who did yeoman work through a majority of each game were Evans, Andrus, Anthony, Read, Captain Webster, Moe, Murr, and Black in the line: Wilson, Gifford, Tip- py, Conover, McClure, Wagner, and Wight in the backfield. Another fine team appears to be in the making for 1945 since a large group of experienced players is due to return. Coach Ciardi is to be congratulated for his adept handling of the squad in his initial season here. 44 son Wagne A drus Wed Bottom How-I. Foster, Manager.

Coach Ciardi shaped his starting team around Captain Dick Evans, George Wilson, Warren Gif- ford, Bill Webster, Tony Tippy, A1 Maier, and Firman McClure. Evans, one of the finest netsters in the annals of the school, led in scoring for the second consecutive year and was named on several all-star teams. Quality rather than quantity was the keynote for this year's squad: a more outstanding record might have resulted. but for the "mass exodus" of several promising undergraduate prospects to prep schools. George Littell, Mac Wight, Pete Haas, Art Singer, and Charles Huffman formed a junior varsity five which won about half of its schedule and gained valuable experience, predicting better things to come for '46!

CROSS COUNTRY The Mountain Lakes harriers completed a highly successful season with the excellent record of six victories and one defeat. All seven meets were with far larger schools, and this fact makes the Lakers' performance even more impressive. In ad- dition to the regular schedule, the Orange and Blue runners competed at the New York University Invitational Meet and the New Iersey State Cross Country Championships and finished 48 TRACK well up among the schools of New York, New Iersey, Pennsyl- vania, and New England. Dean Noll was the outstanding runner and was undefeated during the regular campaign. He was closely followed by Pat Boardman, Howard Tyzzer, Bob Tweit, and Leonard Frey. Others on the squad who deserve commen- dation were Art Franz, Ray Wittman, Huntley Weaver, and Iohn Smith. Prospects are extremely bright for next year with all save Captain Frey, Wittman, and Weaver returning. Coach Willing, through his patience and untiring efforts, has placed cross country running in a prominent place on the Mountain Lakes sports calendar.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION In the past year all student organizations have come under the jurisdic- tion of the S. G. A., which has widened its scope to include the Student Council, or legislative body, the Service Club or executive branch, and the Student Court or Iudicial department. Last year, through the combined efforts of Mr. Smith and a few student leaders, the S. G. A. adopted a revised constitution, and this year the new rules were successfully put into effect. To make student government a suc- cess, students rnust take advantage oi their opportunity of self-government by suggesting measures to it, obeying its decrees, and promoting interest in student activities. Thus the training in democracy we receive by participation in high school student government can prepare us for good citizenship and service to our country in future years. 54 Standing-Nepratt, Pillsbury, Wil- lard, Case.

'I'his year the club has inaugurated a number of valuable changes. Proudly, the members wear the official arm bands when they are on duty: these bands have been issued for the first time this year. This organization has become affiliated with the S. G. A.: Tony Tippy, president of the Service Club, is also vice-president of the S. G. A. Under the excellent guidance of Mrs. Thompson, the Service Club is indeed translating its name into action and is truly serving the school unselfishly. 55 Sffmdinq-lOhnSIUd. SCOtt. Klein.

Issues are published monthly, and the circulation is about four hundred, including the copies sent to service men by Mrs. Thompson. The staff includes some thirty hard-working journalists and typ- ists. The school looks forward to each issue of the MOUNTAINEER for its well liked col- umns and especially for its sports write-ups. The MOUNTAINEER should continue to grow in quality and popularity in the future under the patient and wise guidance of Miss Nast. Left to Right-L. Frey. Editor-in-Chief: Miss Nast, Advisor: I.

This year a new activity has been introduced to Mountain Lakes High School-the Dramatic Club. Already this group has gained a large and enthusiastic following, which is rapidly learning the value of this club's work. The high school' students learned that, al- though the fire of giving a play is perhaps the motive which prompts most people to engage in dramatic activities, the individual derives many more permanent values from the club work. The members have discovered that the training for public speaking is probably the most important value of amateur drama to the individual taking an active part. In their dramatic work this year the students learned such simple things as how to stand before an audience, what to do with their hands,, and most important of all, how to use their voices correctly. They have acquired poise and self- confidence. Already the group has begun to reach its goal, and under the able leadership of Miss Alice Kerr, long and prosperous years ahead are anticipated for this organization. 58 Lady Macbeth, a victim of Shakespeare ................,.

THE SENIOR PLAY One Mad Night, a mystery-farce involving several inmates of an insane asylum, was one of the most successful plays ever produced by a senior class at Mountain Lakes High School. Its tremendous appeal was due to the exceptional acting ability of the cast, the excellent directing of Miss Alice Kerr, the effective make-up and costuming under the supervision of Miss Mildred Callaway, and the realistic setting, handled by Mr. Frank Wik- ander. The cast follows: Don Cutter, a young playwright: ....... .......... G ene Black Wing, his Chinese valet ............................ ..........

"Anyone who wants to sing should A C A P E L. L A C H 0 I R have his chance." This is the spirit which originated the famed A Ca- pella Choir of Mountain Lakes High School. Ever since its organization, the choir has had one of the most enthusiastic followings of any group in the school. Mr. Milkey, the be- loved director, has established no specific requirements for member- ship because he feels such action would defeat the purpose of this or- ganization-to let anyone who wants to, participate in the popular activity of singing. It is not surprising, there- fore, to find that there are ninety- five members in the choir. During the year, the A Capella Choir pre- sents two delightful concerts: one at mess-1 Christmas time and one in late -dent: 1LelS'9' Sec' spring. These concerts are eagerly mwah, View Mvxsvf' looked forward to and well attended.

With the aid of Miss Callaway's capable guidance, the Line and Color Clubs have prospered and will continue to prosper. L 62 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY One of the highest honors Moun- tain Lakes High School can bestow on a member of the senior or junior class is election to the National Honor Society.
