Great eagle, flying 'cross the sunlit sky If ith wings that breast the tempest's force on high!

What joy we have experienced as we have controlled the joy- stick, the steering rod of our plane, through our four years at Barringer. Some of us have had to make forced landings; some have taken off once more, but others have dropped out of the fight. We have encountered innumerable air-pockets, storms and fogs. We have been near ground several times, hut always our joy-stick has guided us upward, taking us farther, with the teachers of Barringer as our beacons. Let us fly back to the year 1838, the year of the founding of Barringer High School, and trace the relative progress of Barringer and the airplane. Let us sec how dear Barringer and the renowned carrier of the joy-stick have fared through the years. Here we arc back in 1838, having landed unobserved in a meadow near Newark. Upon asking for Newark High School, we are directed to the second floor of Nathan Hedge’s famous school on Bank Street. There we are informed that there is a huge attendance of ninetv-onc pupils. How proudly one pupil tells us that his school is the third oldest High School in the United States; that it was established in 1838, being the second to one established in 1837 at Philadelphia, and third to one estab- lished in 1821 at Boston. At this time we learn of a faint rumor from England concerning an “aerial steam carriage.” but. when we mention it. much joking and ridicule ensue. We take flight again and land on January 4. 1854. Here, having landed at Hedge’s School, we are informed that a new building has been put up at Linden and Washington Streets for the exclusive ure of the High School. We go to the spot and find the new school housed in quite an impressive looking building. Now there arc three hundred and eighty-two boys and girls in attendance. How quaint they look and how enthusiastically we are shown through the building! Still there is no news or sign of an “aerial steam carriage.” Having taken flight in 1854. it does not take us long to flv through forty-six more years and land in 1900. Newark High School is now located on Parker Street. It is no longer called Newark High School, but Barringer High School in honor of a former City Superintendent of Schools, Doctor Barringer. Here at last we are on familiar ground, and know our bearings pretty well, for this building is none other than the one in which we have spent four unforgettable years. We search in vain for the Branch Brook Park we know, but all we find is a swampy dump, as Bar- ringer’s front yard. We spend a short time talking to some of the teachers and then ask one point-blank if there has been any development in the airplane theory. He scouts the idea and condemns the flight of man as an impossibility. He does mention, however, the unsuccessful experiments of a certain Professor Langley along this line. Hereafter we shall have to hug the ground very closely, for it is in the next few years that things begin to happen in the development of the airplane. We touch at Barringer on September 24. 1904. Eager informants tell us about the reported flight of the Wright Brothers, made on the day before. But. like the rest of the world, they refuse to believe it has happened, and also like the rest, they remain unaware of the flight of man until more than four years after the first flight has been recorded. Having completed the last lap of our flight through the years, let us land again in 1929. where we first took off. Here is Barringer graduating the class which has flown to the top. the class of January, 1929. Here also is the airplane at its best, becoming a part of our life. What heights will the airplane reach in the years to come? What deeds will the class of January, 1929, accomplish for the world with the airplane? Now that we have received our license, in the form of diplomas, we are able and prepared to set forth on our solo flights—out into the world to attain success and to hear Barringer’s standards on with us.

Of a wondrous class that’s called the ’29 In this my sometimes feeble, halting line I sing! Oh Muse, lend me thy precious aid To tell of many a youth and blushing maid. Who first in'25 these portals crossed As “freshies” whom the upper classmen bossed. We studied hard and knew our lessons well, (Alas! from this high standard some soon fell!) Five months fled by, and lo! we were lA’s, And we in turn did other “Freshies” haze. We went to football games and how we cheered When the “Red Blue a “Big Blue touchdown feared. Thanksgiving, New Years, Christmas, then exams “This IA class,” our teacher said, just crams.” At last the day arrived of which we dreamed. Old students, we to other Freshies” seemed. Canto II. Our Freshman year rushed past with greatest speed. As Sophomore studes,” we now gave careful heed To warring on huge monsters hundred-fold. The lessons, they are called, both fierce and bold. The gods of high Olympus to us true, To the attack all cheered us on anew. For Jupiter,” the King of 26 In Latin helped us out of many a fix, While “Juno,” leader of the 4A class, Became the idol of each lad and lass. The others mingled briskly in our flight: Sometimes they laid us low—they’re mostly right! Canto III. Our happy Sophomore year passed all too fast. And stately Juniors we became at last. That long awaited word we heard one day— The first class meeting must be held Monday.” We chose M iss Pull in as our guiding hand. Bob Schcmbs we picked to lead our learned band. The bright Miss Knight became Vice President And Fannie Herda wrote each class event. While Hugh, who’s known as Scotty, kept our dues, And when he asked for them, none dared refuse. The class must get acquainted, someone said To West Point our Miss Pullin then us led. W’hile on the boat, we laughed, and sang and danced. Our singing all the passengers entranced( ?). Vacation came again with all its joys, As 3A’s we returned in perfect poise. As President, Bob Schembs, again did lead Miss Seeley wrote up each class note with speed. Marge Knight again took up her given work. While Scotty all his duties did not shirk. He said, one day, Alas! we quite lack gold. About a show the school must now be told.” I [ Fifty four ] While we made all the money we did seek, Miss Daniels made a captivating Sheik” Canto IV. It seems as if our third year passed on wings With movies, dances, parties and such things. Our Senior year, indeed, came all too soon; Our Seniors soon assumed a different tunc. As president, we John Bain enrolled, Elected Scott again to keep our gold. Miss Herda in John’s absence meetings led ; Miss Seeley in 4B our minutes read. Again the cry arose, We need more gold!” For Cyrano some tickets then we sold. A party to 4A our class then gave, With great control we made our feet behave. The music influenced our feet to prance, For sweet the music was at this, our dance. In winged flight passed 4B in a whirl, And 4A entered with a greater swirl. As president, had we John Bain, no less; In Johnny’s absence led Miss Dot Van Ness. For Jantausch, we, to keep our gold, cast votes. Miss Zcliff we did have to keep our notes. For us a dance was given by 4B ; Appreciated ’twas most gratefully. Aha! a cry! our hoard of gold is low! To raise it, we, indeed, must have a show!” We, William Haines, did have of “West Point” fame; To our cinema in Hocks they came. But lo! came dread exams into our sight; The pupils studied hard both day and night. These warring monsters to defeat to send. With formulas do we contend ’Gainst Chcm. the biggest problem of them all; Defeated, many by the roadside fall. Another monster hove into our sight ’Gainst Latin struggled we with main and might. Another and another come our way The battle rages on through many a day. Italian. German, Spanish, French and Math, And each and all exams that block our path. We conquer, and at last the battle’s past. And graduation night arrives at last. Oh precious roll of paper shining white, No longer dances before our longing sight.

The studes of 63 arrive, but hasten to have their morning social meeting by 26. 8:40—The 5-minute bell sounds. Mr. Taylor gives out. first, warnings, then front seats. 8:44 4—Miss Ryder breezes over the threshold, followed 2 4 minutes later by Miss Sonnabend. 8:45—The students pass to classes and there is a mad rush for “up stairways going down” and vice versa. This is the way Mr. Pritchard picks his football material for the coming season. 9:00—The seniors, studying in 51, use up two pads writing—notes. 9:30-11:45—The teachers break up our morning naps trying to get those elusive answers,—don’t they know ’em by now? Anyway, the answers arc more im- portant; why not ask the answers? 11 :45—Whoopic!—That empty feeling will soon be appeased. The seniors lose their dignity and manners temporarily, and once more become a part of the under graduates. 12:10—The bakery crowd starts to drift hack and the seniors who at 11:45 had lost their dignity and manners, once more become “The Seniors.” ( ?). 12:15—Again the “26” mob starts to assemble. Why is everybody leaving? Oh! Mr. Stearns is coming. No, he isn’t going to chase us; he's going to have a chat, too. 12:30—The P.

Ever since Mr. Dumm told the story, how many years ago a young ardent chemist blew a hole in the ceiling, Stitt and Benjamin are trying to work out a formula by which they can do the same, only on a larger scale. 1:15—Crash!! Did the boilers explode? No, the orchestra just started to practise; 47 fiddles, 3 cornets, 7 saxes, 2 pianists. 8 onlookers. 1 sleeper (not a train). 1 :20—A hot debate is being carried on in 37. No. it’s not about P. D., History, Economics, or anything of the sort. We just can’t figure out if the orchestra is playing March Militairc or Crazy Rhythm. 1:30—Sir.

Oh. that’s right! Some 4A girls are functioning as subs.

Flight Forecast Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, this is John Haiti, announcing from station H. H. S. The first re-union of the class of January 1929, is being held at the Hotel Pennsylvania. Ten eventful years have passed since this class sang its Alma Mater on the platform, that memorable graduation night. The lives of many of the members have changed greatly since that night and—but wait, we shall sec those changes as the guests arrive. Folks, a wonderful sight meets my eves as 1 gaze over the room which is gaily decked with blue and white garlands. At one end is James Cherry’s famous orchestra. I sec Dick Spina, Cliff Dc Michele, Tom D’Amico, Tony De Noia, Joe Matulo and Art Ix ve. tuning their instruments, as they watch the caterers. Ralph Del (iucrcio, Sol Russoniello, Mike Carlucci and Joe Hilotta putting on the finishing touches. By the way, the shining silver on the snowy linen certainly looks fine. The members of the class who are to entertain their classmates are holding last minute rehearsals in various parts of the room. In one group Ev Wells and Hill Bishop arc practising their latest jazz steps, while Ted Bloom, the modern A1 Jolson, croons the newest jazz hit. written by Kitty Jones and Fran Ixmg. well- known composers. Next to them Russ Marchesani and Sam Tulino engage in mock combat with Guido Cetrulo as referee. Farther on Fran Hcrda is reviewing her models, clothed in the latest fashions brought from Paris by her. The models are Dot Van Ness. Helen Seeley, Eunice Grove. Ida Cicconc, Betty Titus and Beatrice Blum. This is in preparation for a fashion show which will be followed by the reading of some poetry, written for this occasion by Fran Carroll. Janet Ryder, the elocutionist, is glancing over it now. Vera Brantley and Lois Lacey, the new Duncan sisters, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their trunks containing their costumes. The press is well represented to-night by Paul Klein and Gerry Panico, reporters for the Newark Evening Herald, of which the editors are Fred Sammis, Julc Lombardi and Harry Katz. They arc wearing suits designed personally by Lew Perelli and Ed Mancusi- I'ngaro. A great many other old Barringcritcs are connected with this paper. Art Silvcrberg and Bill Evans arc sport editors and Selma Lilien writes the column en- titled “Balm for Lonely Hearts.” Hector Mattia is in charge of the advertising department in which we find the famous “Arrow Collar” ad featuring Norman Hcndcrshot and Bill Ward. The ads for Coleo Shampoo and Palm Olive soap are respectively adorned by the features of Mary Damiano and A1 Amiano. It is now eight o’clock and the guests are beginning to arrive. Ah. here comes our beloved advisor Miss Pullin. who has given up the noble pro- fession of teaching to indulge in her long-fostered desire to raise chickens. She is ac- companied by Miss Grork. now the preceptress of a select school for girls. Mr. Stearns, is still the honored principal of Barringer High School, although Princeton has tried several times to secure him for its president. He won the cup in the National Amateur Golfer’s contest last year and is evidently describing how he made that “hole in one” to Mr. Taylor. The latter’s recent translation of Vergil’s Acneid has brought him such a fortune that he now has made his permanent home at his estate in Maine. As [ Sixty-three ] for the members of the class, it is easy to see that big business men are always on time, for here comes Harold Duckett and Ell wood Mills with Lou Raimo close on their heels, and the famous law firm of Julius Freedman and Art Lipstein. Fred Kirschncr, Carl Grant and Bernard Maas, the most eminent scientists of the day, who have found that long sought cure for the blues, now enter slowly. Luckily for Denton Jeffries, his schedule as a travelling salesman brought him to Newark tonight. I see him with Bob Schcmbs. the able football coach of Princeton and Johnny Schott, his assistant, talking over the latest football formations, while Charlie Higgins, the modern Babe Ruth, listens intently. Well, now! Here are Michael Bocchini, a Latin teacher. Morris Tarnpoll, a trig instructor, Katharine Bell and Barbara Crosse, French teachers, talk- ing over the trials and tribulations of teaching. They have been joined by Ada dc Zavas, instructor in Barringer’s new gym. Hurray! The passengers who just came from Paris on the Zeppelin RS64163, which makes daily trips abroad, are entering the room. Among them are Caroline Edwards and Boby Groo, the artists. Pearl Eskin, a day nursery matron. Eleanor Schmitt with her husband, returning from their honeymoon, also the officers of the Junior Contemporary League, including Dot Eisele. Mildred Alvino, Grace Carlough, Marty Horbach and Doris Robertson. The Captain of the Zeppelin. Al White, and his assistant, Ed Mullen, are discussing the flight which the competent secretary of the ship, Lil Zcliff. had entered in the log book as the swiftest in history. This would have been impossible if it were not for his clever mechanics. Angelo Vitale. Frank Marino. Bill Caputo, Gus Rotunda. Dick Massenzio and Bill Pecora. Marg Knight and Doris Potter, who were studying art abroad, came over by boat a week ago. Ahem! Here’s a telegram —now just a moment and I’ll read it—To my classmates Wish I could be with you tonight stop duties as a missionary in China prevent coming stop will be thinking of you. Signed Julia Weber. Speaking of distant lands, William Mov, ambassador to the United States, can be seen talking to Hugh Scott, now treasurer of the United States. Nearby “Steve” Muti. wearing his medal won at the last Olympic meet, is surrounded by an admiring group consisting of Margaret Sencrchia, Metropolitan Opera star. Ida D'Avella and Dot Coe, owners of the smartest hat shop in New York and Edith Calcagno. foremost critic of the modern theatre. The two multi-millionaires of the class, Richard Hansen ami Joe Jantausch. announced that the managers of the Community Chest for 1940. would be Daniel Hicks and Jacob Shait. John Simpson, who has won renown as modern Sherlock Holmes, is being congratulated on the clever solution of his last baffling crime by Carmine De Paolo, author of The H alting Skeleton, and by Joe Sivollella. who was made a commander on his graduation from West Point. Sam Cohen, who discovered how to make gold out of chemicals, has used some of his money to have escalators installed in Barringer—a most worthy cause. Sam. Now I see a figure searching here and there—why it’s Fran Schroedter looking for Gert Sonnabend, who has just rushed breathlessly through the door. Five years ago. ladies and gentlemen, these two girls in their eager perusal through old Latin manuscripts found directions for locating a longlost treasure and they returned from their suc- cessful voyage last week. I think we are all here now—no, here comes Burman Stitt, the actor, strolling in late, as usual. Well! folks. I’ll give you one last picture before signing off. Hugh Scott is leading the class in some rousing cheers. Now each one is standing at attention at the long banquet table and through the room steals the tender, never-forgotten strains of the dear old Alma Mater.—Goodnight all. [ Sixty four ] B” Men When Denton Jeffries’ sophomore year rolled around, he became one of the can- didates for the football squad. During his first year. Dent substituted at half-back. Here he played a sterling game but he did not receive his letter. In 1927 Jeffries came out with a lust to kill. 1 hat year he again attempted as half-back. In recognition of his great playing, he was awarded his letter. In his last year Jeffries was again back at his old position. Here he played his usual sterling game. In 1926, Dent tried his hand at track. After a season of hard work, he finally won his B, but track lost one of its stars as Jeffries decided to give all his time to football and to let track alone. -----o----- Teddy Bloom was another athlete to gain fame as a two letter man. In the fall of 1926, Teddy started his athletic career as a football player. He showed up well in his first year, earning a B-2. In 1927, he started off with a bang only to be laid up with a fractured ankle in the first game of the season. It was not until 1928 that I eddy really had his chance. That year Teddy astonished everyone by his spectacular playing. In 1926 and '27, Teddy was unsuccessful in an attempt to make the baseball team because of his poor hatting. The next year, he worked hard and his batting improved so much that he became a fixture at first base. Teddy, by the way, hit well over three hundred that year. -----o- - Americus Muti, one of the greatest ends ever to play for Barringer, started his career in 1925 when yet a freshman. Contrary to custom, he won a varsity berth his first year. His stellar playing was a great factor in the team’s winning the State Honors that year. 1926 was Muti’s big year. His playing attracted so much attention that he was mentioned for the All-State selections for the year. In 1927 and ’28, Muti con- tinued to play the brand of football that brought him fame. In 1927 and 1928, he not only played football but he tried his hand at track. Here he was also successful, winning his coveted B both years. Muti will close his career the proud possessor of six major letters, a “pie” emblem, and four gold footballs. -----o----- Robert Schembs. our sturdy football captain, proved himself on both the football field and the diamond. Bob first reportet! for football in 1926. Here he showed prom- ise of developing into a great back. In 1927, he was noted for his great runs of twenty to thirty yards at a clip. Because of his ability to punt, throw and carry the ball. Bob would have gained a berth on the All State team of that year if it had not been for an unfortunate accident which kept him from playing during the latter part of the season. In 1927, Bob was elected captain for '28. In 1928, Bob continued to play his sterling brand of football. In 1927. he tried his fortune in baseball. In this sport, he became one of Bar- ringer’s best pitchers, winning more than ten games, his first year. In 1928 he was our mainstay on the mound and played in the field when he was not laboring in the box. Hector Mattia’s freshman year, although he did not engage in any varsity sports, was not wasted, as he took part in inter-class athletics. That year he captained the freshman football, baseball and soccer teams. Being encouraged by this success, he, in his second year, tried for a place on the varsity track team. Mattia, after laboring through one season, discovered that fame for him lay in a different direction. Therefore, when the season of ’27 arrived, he was among the candidates for the football team. As the team had a veteran line, Mattia did not get much chance to show his ability. In 1928, he was chosen to play tackle. In the early part of the season, after having played in sterling fashion. Hector received a setback in the form of a broken nose. After having a guard made to protect his nose, he resumed play. Mattia’s sterling play was a great factor in the success of the team of 1928. ----o------ John Schott, our brawny center, made his debut in sports in 1926. He did not get into any games in his first year, but he showed his true Barringer spirit by coming out again in 1927. That year he alternated at center with Billy Hinton, our varsity center. In return for his good work, Johnny was awarded his letter. During his last season. Johnny played with new life and vigor and at the end of the season he was recognized as one of the greatest centers in the State. Johnny is now the proud possessor of two major letters. ----o------ John Bain was another player who saw four years’ service on the football team. His first year was spent learning the fundamentals of the game. In 1926, although he played in many games, he did not receive his letter. It was not until 1927 that Johnny hit his true stride. During that year, he was the talk of of the football circles, because of his daring way of running back punts. Later, after Bob Schembs was injured, Johnny showed that he could play fullback as well as halfback. Johnny received his letter in 1927 and 1928. In order to keep himself in condition for football. Johnny became a candidate for swimming. Here he gained fame in the hundred and forty-yard free style. Johnny has won three letters in swimming. .... o— ■ Dominick Massenzio is another of our representatives on the Track Team. In 1926, Nick’s first year, he surprised everyone by his sterling performances in the Broad-jump. In ’27 and ’28 Massenzio was one of our most consistent point scorers. Although he was not often fortunate enough to win his favorite event, he was always among the first three. In the fall of ’28 Coach Salerno succeeded in convincing Nick that he had a future in cross country. Nick soon showed that he had the making of a good runner. This year Nick and his team-mates won the City cross-country title. Massenzio possesses a major letter and a minor letter. In the spring of 1926, Joe Jantausch became a candidate tor track honors. After spending most of his first year without success, he finally hit his stride. During the latter part of the season, Jantausch showed great promise. That year he scored twelve points, thus winning his letter. In 27 Joe sprang a surprise by being the leading point scorer of the season. In the fall of ’27, Joe tried his hand at football, but he soon saw that success for him lay in track, and not football. When the spring of ’28 rolled around, Joe was again matching strides with other stars. This proved to be another successful season, as Joe was second in points scored for the year. -----o----- When Tom D’Amico entered Barringer, he had two aims: to win his letters in his favorite sports, track and football. 1925 and ’26 saw Tom laboring on the cinder paths. In 1927 D’Amico became a varsity man, although he did not win quite enough points to retrieve his letter. When 1928 arrived, Tommie ran in such style that he covered himself with glory. Among his triumphs of that year were: the N.J.I.A.A. Quarter Mile Championship and the N. J. I. A. A. Relay in which he ran anchor man. In 1926. Tom tried to satisfy his ambition in football. His first year was spent in learning the fundamentals of the game. In ’27. he also toiled without success. D’Amico came back in 1928 to close his career in football, in a blaze of glory, by winning his letter. -----o----- In the fall of ’26, Bill Ward chose to begin his athletic career as a member of the cross-country team. Bill was surprised bv his fitness as a distance runner. Therefore in the spring of ’27, he was among the candidates for the Track Team. The following season Bill was recognized as one of the best half-milers in the State. Being successful in one sport, Bill tried another. His first year was spent accumu- lating football sense. The following season, Bill, after playing in many of the games, was awarded his letter. - —■o- ‘‘Who is that flash?” That is Tony De Noia, the fellow who does the 100 in ten Hat. Tony reported for track practice in 1927. One look at him and the coach shook his head. Tony is barely five feet tall. Coach Salerno had often heard that good things come in small packages, so he gave De Noia a chance. By the end of ’27, Tony had often impressed the coach with his speed and form. In ’28 Tony lived up to all the nice things expected of him, by accounting for three to five points each meet. After the track season, De Noia turned his attention to soccer. In this sport, he also earned his letter. De Noia now sports a major and a minor B. Joe Matullo has divided his time between two major sports, track and football. In ’27, Joe became a candidate for the track team. His first season was spent, as usual, learning the tricks of the trade. In '28, Joe was heading toward a bit of fame, as the relay team, of which he was a member, won the New Jersey Inter-Schoolastic Relay Championship. Joe was injured and forced to retire from the field of action. With the fear, in his heart, of leaving his Alma Mater without having won a letter, Joe. in '28, played football with exceptional ability. For this, he was awarded his coveted letter. ■ o Hugh Scott—In order that athletic teams may play, other teams must be engaged to play against them. Therefore the task of making out a schedule is very important. The success of the team is also greatly dependent upon the schedule drawn up. This important work was twice done by our friend. Hugh Scott. In the fall of '26, Scotty- toiled as assistant manager of the cross-country team. He was then elected to manage the team in ’27. After spending the season of 1927 as assistant manager, Scotty was elected in 1928, to manage the Track Team. Scotty also showed interest in both the Baseball and Football Teams. For this reward, he received a major and a minor letter. ------o----- Charlie Higgins—When the spring of 1927 came, many new candidates had high hopes of playing on the Big Blue’s Nine. Charlie Higgins was among those who aspired to baseball fame. However, he was doomed to disappointment. Charlie played in a few games that year and played exceedingly well. He did not win his latter, how ever. In 1928 he again tried his hand at the great American game. This time “Muscles” was more successful. After a hard season, as a just reward for his playing, he was awarded his letter. Charlie is a fine example for showing what persistency is able to do! A1 White began his athletic career in the spring of ’27. He was another of the few to gain a varsity berth his first year out. A1 started as an inficlder but because of his batting ability, he was converted into an outfielder. Al gained his letter in baseball in both 1927 and 1928. In the fall of ’27, Al became a cross-country star. In his first year, he ran in such sensational style that he was elected captain for 1928. Later in ’27 Al turned towards indoor track. Here he won his letter and he was awarded his pie emblem for winning the State Mile Championship. -----o----- Ralph Del Gucrcio’s first endeavors were concentrated on that great sport, foot- ball. H is first year out was spent getting himself adjusted and learning the funda- mentals of the game. In ’27, Ralph again donned his mole-skins. That year he was more successful. He began to concentrate upon learning how to play the center posi- tion. Because there were two veterans of former years battling out the right to play that position, it was no small achievement to win his “B-2.” Kncouraged by his suc- cess in the preceding year, Ralph played inspired football in '28. Ralph is now in that select circle of Barringer letter-men. Fencing Team Four years ago, a group of students met in Room 32 to discuss the advisability of inaugurating Fencing in Barringer High School. The eyes of one boy (who later was to captain Dartmouth’s Varsity Team) beamed especially bright and inquisitive throughout the proceedings. He was delighted in the new movement, and suggested to Mr. Franklin Crosse that if Barringer would organize a Fencing Club, he, with the help of his father, would try to produce a team capable of representing the Big Blue. Many boys as well as girls joined this club and daily practice soon began under the guidance of Gerald Cetrulo, Jr. Work in learning the fundamentals of the duelling art became a pastime and when the on guard” call for the season of 1926 came. Barringer had a team on the strip. Howard Crosse, Anthony Scafati and Marcel Tetaz successfully manipulated the foils for our first competitive team. Enthusiasm waxed high and the following season found the club increased twofold. With new members came new suggestions; a desire to have the team officially recog- nized by the Athletic Association became evident. However, nothing was done along this line during the early part of the 1927 season. But in June, members of the Fenc- ing Club, proud of the record the two earlier teams had made, requested the recognition of fencing as a minor sport. In this they were successful and when Guido Cetrulo, Russ Marchcsani and Samuel Tulino crossed blades for the first time in 1928, equipped with new white uniforms and shining foil bells, against the Trinity Prep team, they did so with a great sense of pride, because they felt that they for the first time were officially representing their Alma Mater. No more can be said con- cerning the history of this new sport at Barringer, except that much of the story remains to be told by future Acropolis writers. The members of the Fencing Team graduating with the class of January. 1929, can only look back in pleasant retrospect and view the origin of Fencing in Barringer as a great endeavor championed in its early infancy by a good sport. [ Srventy-one } MINOR B MEN The Minor Sports One has read many pages written about Barringer High School’s great baseball, football and track teams. This has left an unfortunate condition, as few students, it any, realize that there is another field of sport in which the record of our school is upheld. Barringer is represented in this field by five different teams, swimming, cross-country, soccer, tennis and fencing. In order that you may become more familiar with these minor sports, it is best to enumerate a few of the things accomplished by these teams in former years. The swimming team, although it is at a disadvantage, has been a consistent winner. About two-thirds of Barringer’s opponents, in swimming, have pools in their schools, where they practise. This of course leaves our team under a great handicap, as they can only practise a few days each week; even then, they must travel down town to the Y. M. H. A. pool. The team, although under this handicap, has defeated such schools as East Orange. Montclair. Dickinson and Plainfield. Among the outstand- ing stars one must name Johnny Bain, Bob Ribbans, Casebolt. Kleiber and Greason. In the fall of the year, when everybody is thinking about football, there were a few who divided their time and interest between two other sports, namely cross-country and soccer. The Barringer Warriors, since being coached by Vic Salerno, have developed into the greatest threat for Passaic’s State honors. Cross-country is the most gruelling of all sports. The course is any distance between two and two and one-half miles, up hill and down dale. Each day one has to but go into the park to see another of our minor sports, soccer. Coach Payton has his team out practising from three o’clock until it is too dark to see. One may say that this is foolish. But is it? One glance at this record will give you the answer. Every year our soccer team is at or near the top of every league in which it participates. In the spring, when Coach Payton has been relieved of the responsibilities of the soccer and swimming teams, he must begin to coach the tennis team. Each year, without fail, this team enjoys a successful season. Among the teams it competes with are East Orange. Blair, Asbury Park and Atlantic City. A few years ago a fencing team was formed. After defeating such teams as the West Point Freshman, Columbia Freshman. Lawrenceville Prep and Erasmus, the team applied for recognition as a minor sport. Therefore in 1927 they were recog- nized by the A. A. As a minor sport, the fencing team has continued to defeat their opponents with regularity. f Seventy-three ] SIHIf) (IMO.) Cord Qirls Marjory Knight, besides earning her Freshman and Senior cords, won her “B” as well in the gym meet of ’25. She was active in the gym exhibition ’26, and was among the honored to be chosen gym captain for ’25, '26, ’27, ’28. Lillian Zeliff has been a gym captain for the four consecutive years that she’s been in B. H. S. She well earned her Junior and Senior cords besides. Lil was also among the girls who took part in the gym meet, '25 and the gym exhibition, ’26. Although Caroline Edwards hasn’t seemed to turn her interests towards meets and the like, she’s come through with Junior and Senior cords and the honor of having been a captain for '26. ’27, ’28. Maybe it’s because Catherine Jones is so tall that she’s been able to cover such a lot of ground in the athletic line. She went out for hockey in ’26 and proved herself an excellent jumping center on the Senior basketball team. She was a gym captain in ’28. When girls were wanted for meets and exhibitions. Kitty was always there, having been in the gym exhibition in ’27, Sesqui-Centennial Parade and gym meet, thereby earning her Emblem and “B.” Wherever you see Mildred, you're pretty sure of finding Ida D’Avclla, too, even in gym festivities. Ida is a Junior and Senior cord girl, too. Her good gym work found her at the head of her line as captain in ’26, '27 and '28. She was active in gym exhibition, gym meet, and Newark High School Festival, getting her “B” as a result of her work. Evelyn Wells has been very successful in her gym work. She earned her Sopho- more, Junior and Senior cords, as well as being a captain for ’25, ’26. 27. ’28. She has found enough time to take active part in the gymnastic line as well. She was in the Stadium Exhibition, gym meet. ’25, and the Sesqui-Centennial Parade. Mildred Alvino has certainly earned her right to her Junior and Senior cords; she earned her “B in the Pentathlon, ’27 and her numerals in '28 besides being a captain in ’27 and ’28. She took part in the gym exhibition, Newark High School Festival, gym meet and Stadium Exhibition. This little girl certainly deserves a hand. [ Seventy-five ] HOCKEY GIRLS Hockey Qirls The hockey season this year has proved both a successful ami an enjoyable one. 'I'he first of October saw the start and there was a hearty response in answer to the call issued by Miss Florence Wallace, whom we were so fortunate as to obtain for our coach once again. The first day on the field found many new girls as well as several girls who had already had experience in wielding a hockey stick; in fact, the number exceeded that of last year by a large percentage. Practice was held on Mon- days and Thursdays and as always, the first month, October, was devoted solely to getting acquianted with the sticks, balls and learning the rules, etc. In no time what- ever the newer girls were so well acquainted with the rudiments of the field sport, that they were throwing themselves into the practice games with as much pep and zeal as the old timers. After a month of faithful work by the girls, the matter of teams came up and incidentally that of captains to guide these teams. The girls were permitted to elect their own captains with the following results: Senior Capt., Ada dc Zayas; Junior Capt.. Emily Oldenburg; Sophomore Capt., Patricia Ryan, and Freshman Capt., Helen Aspinall. Teams were then formed and it was decided to have games Tuesdays and Thursdays with practice each Monday. There were to be six games in all, each team playing some other one twice, the team with the least number of defeats to its record called the Varsity Team, the members of which receive their much desired numerals. Besides the Varsity Team, there is one known as the “All Star Team.” This team consists of one girl chosen from the four teams for one of the eleven positions on the team, and to earn this right is the goal towards which every girl strives in order to earn one of the necessary two points towards a B.“ The games were exceptionally exciting, each team having a hard fight even to score. Three games only and the final one were played because of necessary postponements, with the final victory for the Juniors over the Sophomores with a score of 2—1 giving them the title of Varsity Team and their right to their numerals. [ Set eniy-itt en ] FOOTBALL SQl’AD Football Throughout .this past gridiron season, Barringer has conquered and has been conquered. On Friday. Sept. 28, the season opened with a bang! After a snappy tussle, the game resulted in a 14—7 victory for the Big Blue over Paterson Central. Credit for the touch-down went to Bob Schcmbs and Den Jeffries. They are to be congratulated for their snappy playing. On Saturday. Oct. 26. the Big Blue bowed to Phillipsburg 6—0. The next week. Barringer again suffered defeat, by Dickinson, to the tune of 19—13. “Teddy” Bloom played a fine defensive game. Credit went to Crccca for his ball-carrying and to Bob Schcmbs for his kicking. Bain and Crccca scored the touchdowns for Barringer. The following week. Oct. 20, the Big Blue defeated West Side. It was a good game. The score, 7—0, proves that West Side put up a good fight. Schcmbs starred for Barringer. Crccca, Irwin. Muti, and Jeffries also played well. Bain scored the touchdown and Schcmbs kicked the goal. On Oct. 27, a readjusted Barringer eleven drubbed East Side High 31—0. Schembs scored two touchdowns; Bain, Muti. and Berman scored the rest. The extra point was added bv Schcmbs’ kick. On N ov. 3, the Big Blue ran roughshod over Montclair on a soggy field and crushed them 30—7. Honors for the day went to the line-smashing Schembs. Laurels went also to Johnny Bain for his excellent playing. Schcmbs scored four touch- downs, Bloom one. On Nov. 10, we took a licking from South Side to an 18—0 tune. The next week, however, we smashed through General for an 18—13 victory. The backficld honors of the day went to Johnny Bain. Den Jeffries and Fred Caruso. Those deserv- ing credit in the line were Muti and D’Amico. Bain scored two touchdowns, Caruso one. Then the Thanksgiving Day game—East Orange! But of course you all remem- ber that! Many changes were made in the line during the season, but the final shift found Muti and D’Amico in the wingmen’s berths, Mattia and Schott at the tackle positions, Ribbans and Heinish playing guards and Christian as pivot-man. In the back field, Captain Schcmbs filled the full-back’s shoes. Bain lav back in the “quarter’s” area, and Crecca, Jeffries and Irwin took turns as half-backs. Mattia appeared with a broken nose in the West Side game, and Schcmbs was out of the Central fracas, owing to a sprained ankle. These arc what you call “breaks. In spite of the fact that Barringer has suffered a few defeats, we insist upon calling this a successful season, and the newspapers back us in this! [ 5etent)-nine ] SOCCER TEAM Soccer Team A. R. Payton. V. L. Sibilia . G. Del Mauro E. B. Esty ... ..........Coach Faculty Advisor .......Captain ......Manager Although handicapped by the fact that many good players were lost by gradua- tion, the soccer team, coached by Mr. Payton, turned in a record which excelled that which was expected of them. Four victories, two ties and four defeats, comprise the record of the 1928 season. While the soccer team did not win the greater part of its games, this record is better than that of the previous year. The team, consisting of I)c Noia, Guarino, Makow, Mascola, Surdi, J. Bilotta. De Fabio, Captain Del Mauro, Kratzer, E. Bilotta, Casale and Caprio. played Dick- inson on October 9th for the opening game of the season. Although the visitors were thoroughly outplayed, they managed to score enough goals to tie Barringer’s team, the final score being 3—3. On October 12th the team went to Montclair to play its second scheduled game. Both teams fought hard, but the Barringer attack was unable to break through the opposition and when the final whistle blew, Montclair was at the big end of a 4—1 score. 'Fhe Barringer team lost its second game by losing to Fast Orange by a 2—1 score. Both teams showed spirit and fight, which made the game a very entertaining one for the spectators. The next game Barringer lost to Verona, 2—0. The first half found both teams trying hard for a goal and neither team succeeding, the half ending 0—0. However, Barringer’s defense weakened in the second half and Verona scored 2 goals. When the final whistle blew for the end of the game, the score was Verona 2 Barringer 0. In the meantime. Coach Payton made many changes in the team’s line-up and finally developed a winning combination. The team, as a result, defeated Montclair 2—1, tied Verona 2—2, defeated Central High of Paterson 3—2 and defeated East Orange 2—1. Barringer’s victory over East Orange was the first ever obtained by a Barringer soccer team. Much praise is to be given to Mr. Payton for his exceptional ability in develop- ing a fine team. ( Eighty-one ] Cross-Country Our cross-country team has just completed another very successful season, captur- ing tor the fourth consecutive year the city cross-country title. Under the able coaching of Victor Salerno, the team loomed up as one of the favorites to capture the State Meet. The team is composed of the following men: A1 White, captain of the squad, Tony Insinnia, A1 Dan ton, Harry Bechcfsky, AI Sepe. (ieorge Hughes. Dick Massenzio, Paul Mulford, Dick Hansen, Mike Riviello. Bill Kiernan, Joe Grasso, Robert Eng. Charlie Schwal, and Joe Jantausch. Dick Spina managed the team and was ably assisted by Dave Winograd and Sid Robins. The team started off the season in a great rush, defeating the West Side team by the perfect score of 15—45. In this race the first five. Barringer, (Captain A1 White, Insinnia, Danton, Riviello, and Hughes) crossed the finish line holding hands, to capture first place. In their next race with the South Side harriers, the team showed some spectacular running in downing their opponents 19—36. The follow- ing week the strong Irvington team went down to defeat to the tune of 19—40. The team seemed to be headed straight for the State Title but in the Irvington meet Al White, their captain, tore a ligament in his leg which disabled him for the rest of the season. A very demoralized team it was that ran against St. Benedicts the following week. The strong Gray Bee team proved too much for our team to handle and we met our first defeat of the season, hut by the close score of 25—30. The week follow- ing. the Big Blue team entered the State Meet, the favorites to win, but fell down badly, taking fourth place with a total of 99 points. The Wednesday following the State Meet, the team lined up for their last race of the season—the City Meet. The Boys entered the race with a determination to win.—and win they did. We captured 2nd—4th—5th—7th and 11th places to account for the low score of 29 points. And so once again Barringer High holds the City Cross-Country Championship.

CFV ROTOND - FRENCH CLUB Le Cercie Francois President...........................................Richard Gilpin Vice-President ..................................Margaret Brewster Secretary.............................................Ruth Andrews Treasurer and Faculty Advisor........................Mme. Carlcu The general aim of the Ccrcle Fran{ais, ever since it was organized over twenty years ago, has been to give the French students of Barringer a closer aspect of the life and culture of the French people than can possibly be shown in the ordinary class room routine. Several times the club has had the privilege of having, as speakers at the meet- ings, distinguished Frenchmen, but when speakers have not been available, student programs have been prepared in which the students have presented playlets and some- times have recited French poetry. At these meetings a great deal of fun is had by singing sonic of the better known French songs. It was during the great World War that the club was the most active that it has ever been. The girls did their part by sewing and knitting different articles of clothing which were to be sent to the boys “over there. I he boys did not fall behind in this work, however; even though they did not sew or knit, they earned money which was used in supporting the orphaned children of the brave men who so willingly gave their lives for their country. During this past semester, several interesting programs were given. The first of these was a Hallowe’en dance which was given in the gym on the last day of October. Billy Hinton, an old Barringer grad, furnished the music, and “a good time was had by all.” The regulation Hallowe’en refreshments were served, being cider and doughnuts, and the gym was decorated in the proverbial orang and black. Also on the evening of November twenty-fourth, the members of the club went to New York to see The Bourgeois Jentelhomme” and everyone felt that he had spent a very profitable and entertaining evening. Several other pleasant surprise in the form of playlets are being planned by Madame Carlcu for the coming meetings. This year the membership has also increased and the club is very proud of its hundred members. . „ It may well be understood that the Cercle Francis has been up and going and promises much more in the near future under the supervision of Madame Carlcu. f Eighty-nine ] GERMAN CU R The Qerman Club OFFICERS President........................................Theodore Bloom Vice-President....................................Lillian Zcliflf Treasurer...........................................Harry Katz Seeretary ........................................Leonard Rand Chairman of Membership Committee....................Jacob Schait Chairman of Entertainment Committee...............Daniel Hicks The German Club is probably the Baby” amid the numerous organizations of Barringer High School because German has only recently been put into the curriculum as an elective. We are hoping in time to grow up to the goodly stature of our French. Spanish and Italian brothers and sisters. Though we are small, we boast a membership of more than seventy-five percent of the pupils in the department. Our meetings arc loyally supported and full of pep. As we look back, we remember a good time with German folksongs at our November meeting (no lesson to prepare for the next day. hurrah!) Christmas brought the real German Tannenbaum and German carols. Later meetings have given us illustrated talks on German folklore and revived our childhood interest in charming Cinderella. The Piper of Hamlin, bold Baron Munchhauscn and many others. And then our spring outings! Who will ever forget them? It has been the custom of the German Club to have a picnic every spring. We always visit some interesting place where we eat. sing, play ukes, and in general enjoy ourselves immensely! To all who may be deciding the question as to what to choose for a second language, we give a cordial invitation to conic into the German department, and on through the door into the friendly circle of the German Club.

The entertainment, which met with a tremendous success, consisted of two parts, the first being a recital by several well-known artists. Those appearing were Miss Angelina Sena. Mine. Luettman- Bon tempo, pianist. Mr. Vincenzo Pesce. baritone with, Maestro Gemnaro Gurie at the piano. The second part was a play entitled “The Three Graces” by Dario Nic- codemi. in which members of the club. Delia Sturchio. Josephine Calabro. Clair Fusco were the graces. Maria Palmer, the mother. Alice Sozio, the maid. Vito Guarino. the ill-humored father, and Thomas D’Amico, the lawyer and lover, took part. The faculty advisor, Mr. V. L. Sibilia. had worked untiringly for the success of this entertainment, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the foundation of an Italian Library in Barringer High School. The idea of endowing our school with an Italian library, which will consist of masterpieces of eminent authors in the field of letters, science and of illustrative works in that of fine arts, was conceived by the club members last June after their visit to the Italian Book F.xhibit” at the Casa Iraiiana.” Columbia University. The purchase will be made through the medium of the Institute of Italian Culture, under the auspices of that university. The dub has also accepted unanimously the motion to donate to the main library of our city the de luxe edition of D’Annunzio’s “Opera Omnia’’, consisting of forty- eight volume.. [ Ninety-three ] SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club The officers lor 1928-29 arc: President .................................................El wood Mills Pice-President...........................................Evelyn Wells Secretary ................................................Andrew Laurie This year, the Spanish Club was engaged in many activities. With an ever in- creasing membership, it is looking forward to bigger and better things. This term was one of the busiest of its career. Of course, the more members it has, the more interesting and the more useful it can be, and those who have neglected to join are missing a good deal, as any active member will tell you. The members have taken trips to various interesting places and in October, they went on an excursion to the Spanish Museum in New York. The trip was exceed- ingly pleasant and instructive. It is of special interest to note that there, but an hour’s ride from our very door, we have, for our inspection, as fine a collection of paintings by the most prominent Spanish artists, as can be found in Spain, to say nothing of numerous other things of interest which,they viewed there and which were explained to them very competently by their instructors, Mrs. Bushakra and Mr. Zwcibel, who accompanied them. Our members have had the pleasure, on two occasions, of meeting Spanish gentlemen who were typical of the cultured Spaniard. At our last meeting, all were thrilled by a very pleasant young man from Guatemala, now attending Montclair Academy, who gave the club an excellent little talk. The members of the Spanish Club, who went on a trip to the Bureau Pro-Espana last year, had the extreme pleasure of meeting a distinguished Spanish artist and a gentleman who. very graciously and in true Spanish fashion, gave us his time to describe the pictures which were on exhibition there at that time. A venture in which the Spanish Club expects to engage in the near future, is the bringing of a Spanish film entitled “Jose.” to Barringer. This film is based on a popular novel and was made in Spain. There is also right in our own city a colony of Spanish people, whom some of us are hoping to visit soon. This will give us an opportunity to see other types of Spaniards different from those we have already met in books and otherwise. The possibilities of tbe Spanish Club are infinite; and the enrollment we have, will make these possibilities realities. Watch the Spanish Club! { Ninety-five ] THE FOR I'M The Forum The officers for 1928-29 arc: President ...............................Hector Mattia, Jan. '29.

Other members of Executive Hoard: Harry Katz, Jan. ’29 Arthur Lipstcin, Jan. ’29 Frederick Sammis, Jan. ’29 Arthur Silverbcrg, Jan. '29 The Barringer Forum was organized in 1927, in response to a petition from some upper class students for an opportunity for practice in informal debate. Accord- ing to the constitution of the club, its membership is open to post-graduates. Seniors, Juniors, and 2A’s who elect history. General management of the club is entrusted to an Executive Hoard of seven students, including the president, secretary, and treasurer, assisted by the Social Science Department. The Forum aims to have live meetings each semester, one of which is purely for business. The other four meetings arc devoted to a discussion of questions of current interest. The topics for the first three meetings this semester have been:— (1) A comparison of the Republican and Democratic Platforms; (2) Should our H. S. Curriculum be revised? It so, how? (3) Would a City Manager Plan be better for Newark than the present Com- mission Plan? The chairman of the meeting presents the question with whatever background or explanation may be necessary; the first part of the meeting is devoted to prepared speeches or arguments on both sides of the question; the remainder of the meeting is given over to extemporaneous discussion from the floor. The Forum thus affords a fine opportunity for training in reasonable and fair discussion, one of the fundamental ideas upon which our American Democracy is founded. [ Sinet y- et en ] Hi-Y OFFICERS President .......................... Vice-President...................... Secretary 12 Treasurer.............. Advisor............................. .....Hugh Scott .... Fred Sammis Hector A. Mattia .. . Mr. Ammarell The Barringer Hi-Y Club is composed of hoys, most of whom are in the third or fourth years. The purpose of this organization is to develop Christian ideals and to try to put these precepts into practice in and out of school. The club meets every Tuesday at 6 o’clock in the Campbell Room of the Y.M.C.A. Because the club exists for the boys, it has been deemed advisable to discuss such topics as are of interest to the members. The advisor of the club usually gives a brief survey of the topic, after which the members state their personal views. In this way a boy learns to express himself among his fellows and also realizes that other boys’ problems are not so different from his own! In order to link up the Hi-Y with Barringer directly, the Club decided to assume the task of directing the students when they pass to the lunch room. This monitor work is popular with the boys. Our Club has been eminently successful because of the type of boy who has affiliated with the organization. Boys who are leaders in school will draw other boys into the Club, and in that way one term after another sees fine types of young man- hood admitted to the Hi-Y. it is our idea that the strength of this organization lies not so much in numbers as in the types of boys and the interest that the members show in the discussions. The member who is irregular in attendance adds little to the Club. The Football Banquet is the outstanding social event of the year. This is sponsored by all of the Hi-Y Clubs in the immediate vicinity of Newark. During the last few years the Clubs have also sponsored a dance at the Y.M.C.A., with the Girl Reserves as their guests. We regret to lose the boys who arc graduating with the class of January. 1929. but we know that Hi-Y has made them finer boys in school and will make them worthy men in their various walks of life. [ Xinety nine ] The Science Club OFFICERS President.............................................Theodore Bloom Vice-President............................................Ruth Andrews Secretary ........................................John Haight Chairman of Program Committee...................Arthur Greason Chairman of the Membership Committee...................William Bullock One meeting is held each month, and at these, the members have an opportunity to hear lectures and to sec slides and moving pictures dealing with the latest develop- ments in the scientific field. These arc often supplemented by papers prepared and read by various members of the club. Before the close of each meeting, questions may be presented and a discussion held on the topics involved. On the eleventh of October, the club had the pleasure of listening to Mr. A. M. Ottinger of the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co., who gave an illustrated talk on the sending of pictures by wire. Room 99 was crowded to the doors and there was keen interest shown by all present. November also proved an active month for the club. First there was Mrs. Gil- bert, head of the Science Department of the Newark Museum, who came on the fifteenth and gave an interesting talk on the work being done at the museum and showed many slides and specimens. Mrs. Gilbert invited the club to take a trip through the museum on the morning of November 24. This trip was well worth while and several expressed surprise at the large amount of material on exhibition and that so few knew of the work being done at this institution. Another meeting, held on the afternoon of November 21. provided the oppor- tunity of hearing Mr. Arthur D. Carpenter, who lectured on “Other Worlds Than Ours.” The attendance was large and Mr. Carpenter was given much applause and a vote of thanks at the end of his talk. The present membership of the Science Club is three hundred and sixty-one. [ One hundred one ] SERVICE CLUB JAIL Service Club OFFICERS President................................ Vice-President........................... Re e nr ding Secretory................... Corresponding Secretory.................. Treasurer ............................... The Service Club is an offspring of the diris' League r.nd was organized in 1919, under the direction of Mrs. Poland, our dean of girls. During its existence it has been manned and advised by Barringer’s best, and because of it, it has been able to render service to the school and community such as brings credit and honor to our Alma Mater. It has always had its headquarters in the room occupied by Mrs. Poland as her office but. due to the size of the day and evening schools, we have had to surrender our quarters for a more important use, and Mr� . Poland has moved her office to City Hall. Without headquarters ami our advisor, we have attempted this year a reorganiza- tion on very similar lines, and with the help of Miss Bishop we are branching into a bigger and better club, capable of rendering greater service to our school and com- munity. The duties of the Service Club are varied and numerous, covering a broad field of activities. We raise the money for the Girls' League through sales of football regalia of all kinds, candy, peanuts, etc., and we have, to date, realized a profit suffi- cient to finance every undertaking of the two organizations both in the school ami community. We maintain a guard patrol for the cafeteria. We supply ushers for all public gatherings in the Auditorium and in fact, we make ourselves generally useful to the school in whatever service we are called upon to render. We have dressed dolls, supplied toys, candy, fruit, and assisted whole-heartedly in the enter- tainment of poor children at Xmas time. We have filled boxes for the Junior Red Cross on several occasions. But our activities have not only been among the children. We have had parties and entertained the inmates of the Old Ladies’ Home and other institutions throughout the city. With the opening of this term, we increased our membership to sixty, with the hope that the larger membership would bring larger interest in the organization, and consequently broaden our scope of activities and of the service that we so earnestly lesire to render. . . Katherine Bell Esther Scheduler ...Doris Holmes Eleanor Ruflfkess .Helen Siesholtz [ One hundred three ] THE THALIANS The Thalians After some years of inactivity, the Barringer Thalians resumed its place in the school last winter. From the first, interest was shown by the students, and after the membership drive, the newly elected officers were delighted to find two hundred and twenty members enrolled. Work was begun at once on the production of the first play. In appreciation of the support of the school, a first performance was planned to be given to the whole school in an auditorium period. Later, at an evening per- formance on Friday, June 1. three plays were given. The first, was Morning Song, by Lawrence Langner. Pierrot, was played by Mildred Mehrtcns, Columbine by Mar- garet Brewster, and Harlequin by Pauline Saltenoff. The second play was A. A. Milne’s The Mon in the Bonier Hot. The cast included Robert Bates. Priscilla Dunbar. Ralph Morton, Mary D’Amico, William Stansbury, Robert Tiedeman, and Sterling Norcross. The third play was a whimsical and dainty little piece with a plot drawn from a Chinese willow plate. The following were cast: Barbara Crosse, Florence Schiffenhaus, Joseph Sugarman, Elsie Lipstein, Samuel Kesselman. Harold Kain. Pierson King, Josephine Calabro, Evelyn Wells. Dorothea Hicks. Mildred Mehrtcns, Doris Chadwick, Sylvia Bernstein. Mary Rumrill, Carolyn Edwards, and Harriet Cooper. One of the most interesting developments is the formation of a stage crew. They have designed and painted two sets of scenery. In the painting, students of the Arts Course took up the leadership. Lighting effects were worked out. During the fall term, all the various departments have been busily at work. Few meetings of the general body are held, but many people are quietly busy, rehearsing parts, painting, designing, studying stage make-up under various lights, working out lighting effects. So when a play is at last presented, it represents the combined work of many people, a piece of real team work by students, who. working separately, at last see their various contributions woven into an artistic whole. A large part of the success of the Dramatic Club must always be dependent on the general membership—the body of loyal supporters, whose enthusiasm makes possible all that is finally accomplished.

Picture shows the contours of the ocean floor between these two points. From: The Western Union Telegraph Co., 195 Broadway. New York City LAYING OCEAN CABLES When the cable ship Dominia completed for the Western Union the laying of the duplex cable in the record time of seven days, between Bay Roberts, N. F.. and Horta, Azores, another link in the chain of international communications was forged. This will increase cable facilities between this country and Germany, Italy. Spain. Africa and Portugal. Four messages may be sent over it in each direction simultaneously, due to the use of a new alloy called mumetal. and the employment of an electrical principle known as tapered loading. Few persons are aware of the intricacies of cable laying. It is popularly supposed that a ship merely takes the required length of cable and drops it into the ocean, and that after this is done the two ends are connected to instruments and communication established. As a matter of fact the Using of a new cable begins months before the cable is even placed aboard the cable-laying ship. Engineers plan the route the cable is to take with mathematical exactness. After this has been decided upon a modern cable ship conducts a survey. The bottom of the ocean consists of hills and valleys, and the cable ship must take soundings to determine the depths to which the cable will go. It would not do to hang the cable between two hills where its own weight would in time wear it out. A device known as an echo depth tinder takes continuous soundings. The principle of this device is simple. A sound is sent from the bottom of the ship to the bottom of the ocean. It returns to the bridge of the ship where the time taken for its travel is translated into fathoms of depth. The old fashioned method called for the employment of a leadsmen who heaved a lead into the water and measured the number of fathoms paid out when the lead rested on the ocean's bottom. After the cable route is surveyed the shore end” of the cable is laid, usually by a small ship able to navigate in shallow water. This end is usually larger and more heavily armored than the deep sea end. as rocks, sea animuclac, and other dancers to the cable arc more common near the shore and the cable must be better protected here than in deep water. After the shore end is laid, the deep-sea end is spliced to it and the actual paying-out process begins. Paying out an ocean cable is a delicate task. To prevent the cable from breaking, too much slack cannot be permitted. For the same reason, too little slack must not be allowed. It is rather ticklish business, and were it not for an instrument known as the dyanomometer. which measures the pull and strain on the cable, it would be rendered even more difficult. This machine is watched constantly by those in charge of the paying- out operations. If the pull on the cable is too strong, the brakes on the paying-out gear are eased off and a little slack is given. On the other hand, if there is too much slack, the brakes are applied and some of it is taken up. Day and night the cable ship goes on its way. In case of bad weather endangering the cable, it is cut and buoyed in the ocean. The ship marks well the location of the buoy, splices the buoyed end of the cable to the end on board the ship and proceeds once more on her way. 14 NEW JERSEY LAW SCHOOL Pre-Legal Department Offers an opportunity to the members of the mid-year graduating class, to begin their first year of college work February 4, 1929.

Tomorrow our regi- ment shall demobilize. For four long years we have l ecn training here — training for the coming Camjiaigns of the “War of Life. The officers in charge, our faculty, have helped prepare us. by giving us a fund of knowledge—ammunition for the hour of need. The commander-in-chief, our principal, has been firm and generous, with guiding advice. Our training camp — Barringer, has assembled us for daily drills, and has organized us to the steady measured tread of truth, honor, and light. The “rookies,” our classmates, have paced off a series of marches — minor struggles but major victories. Camp “buddies and camp “pals” have found great solace in mutual companionship, and have cherished friendships that will last long in the memory of this, our hour of TAPS. Fall in! ... . Attention! For the last time, comrades, we salute our banner. The sun is setting: it is the jxarting sunset in which we stand within the ranks of Barringer. The bugler is sounding RETREAT .... Our flag is being lowered: it is the end of our High School camjxiign. TAPS! . . . . Slowly but clearly the departing notes pierce the evening air. Silence — sadness — a moment of reluctant hesitation! A great unknown battle- field stretches into the distance before us. Peace and content are here. Be brave — comrades-at-arms — we have precious memories to carry in the knapsacks of our hearts. The BUGLE calls — we are going. Camp Barringer, going to meet the foe. Forever shall your banner lie carried with us — Truth — Honor — Light. Alma Mater. . . . we bid vou fond farewell. W. T. P. 6 TAPS—JUNE I 9 2 9 FACULTY Mr. Y. E. Stearns, Principal, A. M. Miss E.

Their entrance into this school should have l een heralded as an J important event, but, alas, we fear it was never fully appreciated. These were the freshmen, or some of them, at least, who were destined to become the great class of June, 1929. We were timid little folk then, and if by chance any of us developed a feeling of importance, we were soon discouraged by the ridicule of the upper classmen who made scathing remarks about parking space for our “kid- die cars.” Of course, we must admit we had less of this than most of the other “freshies” who preceded us because we had our classes in the afternoon and thus did not mingle very much with these upper classmen. They were very good to us, however. I-iter on in the term the seniors gave a reception to our jxirents and ourselves. We were presented with the best lollypops we ever tasted, while re- freshments were served to our parents in the library. We must not forget that it was there also that they became acquainted with our teachers. I feel certain our parents found out a good deal about their little “darlings that they never knew before. In spite of what may have been said to them about us we all had quite a wonderful time, and went home feeling that the seniors weren’t so im- possibly “high-hat” after all. The first term was soon ended and exams near at hand. They were an event in our lives or, at least, they seemed so then, for they were the first we took in high school. Some of us were able to pass them; others dropped by the way-side as many have done since. Our next year and a half of school jxissed uneventfully for most of us. We were given plenty of work to keep us busy, however, which prejiared us for even harder times to come. When we organized in our Junior Year we chose Miss Capen as our class advisor. Under her guidance a constitution was drawn up and officers were elected. We elected John Haight, President; Marjorie Dressel, Vice-President; Louise West, Secretary, and Paul Mulford. Treasurer. They made a fine set of repre- sentatives for us. and. although we did not undertake any plans the first term we laid a number of them for the future. We had to get busy to make some money for this class book which you are reading. We began to attract actual public attention during our 3 A term. l ecause it was then that the inevitable ticket selling started. First of all, we elected officers, again making John Haight President, and Paul Mulford, the “extractor of our class dues. This time, Eleanor Schindel became Vice-President and Ruth An- drews the recorder of our mintues. Having talked it over we decided to give a moving picture. We were privileged to join the 4 B's in this movie venture. Cyrano de Bergerac (Cyrano of the long nose, you remember?) given in the school auditorium Friday and Saturday evenings, April 20 and 21. We had an exciting race to see which class could sell the larger numl er of tickets. Many of you recall how hard we tried. After this show was over we lx gar? to plan for our Senior B term, and what a term it was! John Haight proved to lx so successful a leader that he was elected Class President again, with Doris Holmes as Vice-President, Olga Gallo as Secretary and William Bullock as Treasurer. The first event on the program for this 4 B term was a receirtion which we gave to the 4 A’s on October 26. 36 T APS — J U N E 929 We had planned during our 3 A term to give a minstrel. With Mr. Warren Brundage and Mr. Gordon Crisp as coaches, it was organized early in the term. We rehearsed three afternoons a week slowly getting the show into good shape. Our minstrel show was a great success, financially and as a production, when we gave it at school Friday evening. November 16. 1928. We owe its success, not only to the work of the coaches and Miss Caj en, hut also to the help and co- operation of the members of the other classes who were in the show. Not long after it was given our class received sad news. Miss Capen, our faithful and helpful class advisor for more than a year, found it necessary to give up the ad- visorship and explained to us, that although she felt very badly about it, it was unavoidable. Mr. Saylor had consented to take her place. It helped us to bear our disappointment when we found that he was to lx the one. We all appreciate the patience and the efforts Miss Capen has made to help us to the goal toward which we are striving. Mr. Saylor has carried on her work and he too has our sincere thanks. The beginning of the Senior A term marked the loginning of our busiest term at school, which is far from unusual. We reorganized early. For the fourth time John Haight stepjied into the office of President, this time with Ruth An- drews. Vice-President, Dorothy Hart .. Secretary, and John Marden, Treasurer. Then the Senior Acropolis Board was chosen and most of us assigned tasks to do. We worked and worked to make our Senior Book a success. Meanwhile the 4 B’s were planning a reception for us. which was held the afternoon of March 28. We thought we had had a very enjoyable time at the reception we gave to the 4’s, but tins one proved equally enjoyable to all of us. We entertained with a play entitled “Freezing the Mother-in-law;” then came refreshments and last hut not least dancing in the gym to the newest and most jx� pular orchestra dance music. We all went home as happy as we could be, especially Ijecause we were to have a short vacation over the Easter holiday. I’m sure that it is not betraying any secret to say that Seniors enjoy a holiday once in a while. We came hack, after the week was over, refreshed and ready for the work ahead, after which would come June and graduation. With the exams came the fact that we would have to say good bye to the wonderful times we had had and many of us to the school friends we had made. Ix t us hope these friendships will grow, rather than fade, and in the future when we are “old and gray” may we still lx? able to recall to the minds of some of our classmates perhaps a prank which has l een played or some other school-day memory which still fondly lingers. One thing which is impossible for anyone to forget is the fact that we came here, enjoyed our stay and after four years (or more) left reluctantly with a diploma in hand.

I (This begins to l� e an old story, already). All the Senior teachers concerned are here. Every 1929 Barringer graduate is present. The latter are “on parade,” as it were; they mince across the Assembly stage while their erst- while instructors inform each other about, and at times treat lightly, the achieve- ments of their 1929 charges. In brief, the setting is perfect—for the pedagogues. Mr. Saylor. Peter Poil's disciple: “They’re all back home again! It’s wonder- ful. isn’t it? I wouldn’t miss this for the world! There’s John Haight! One of the most astute bankers in the country. He’ll probably be our next Secretary of the Treasury. I hear he has one weakness though—poetry.” Miss Coult, the intellectuelle: “A weakness! ? Sir! how dare you? There is Pecora. He forsook a literary career for aviation. He always sought the higher levels. Tsk, tsk. Hasn’t Emily Oldenburg a healthy glow across her cheeks? She owns and manages a physical culture camp in the Catskills. Morton, the in- ternational artist and designer (he painted La Belle Foreigneur), attends the Oldenburg camp regularly to take boxing lessons. Speaking of lessons—what are Amelia Barnett and I .aura Smith doing? Do you know?” Miss Caj en. the eniytna: “They’re first-rank (not just rank, you understand) comediennes in the “talkies.” Incidentally. Miss Brucato and Miss Gallo are the only persons in the United States producing silent pictures. Look at Mr. Bul- loch. He’s national president of Rotary. Kiwanis, and all important Chambers of Commerce. Strange as it seems, he is a very close intellectual associate of Mr. Hoffmann. Hoffmann is the misogvnous columnist of the “Daily Wail.” Miss Weinstein. I hear, is the great Dr. Serjun’s wife. Miss Todd is a dentist. She got that way by degrees.” Mr. Barr, the joke analyser: “She’ll need loads of pull to keep that position, let me tell you. Speaking of |x sitions, Holcomb is a lighthouse fixture off Caj e lorn. Someone told me lie uses Roe as a foundation. Very likely. Ah! Gaze upon the 1949 Clarence Harrow—Ritson. Higgins, a certified public accountant, has provided several boys’ clubs in the city with baseball equipment.” Mr. Saylor, a friend in need: “Here come Guarino and Fiore. They’re tooth- paste and hair tonic ads, respectively. Margaret Buell is an aviatrix. Every time she loses her temper she goes up in the air. Naturally, she’s a Kiwi. Did you know that Parrello and Rotino own several glacier acres of ljeautv ixirlors near the North Pole?” Miss Coult,the erudite: “They must Ik attractive. Do you see that ! adge on Berlowe? He’s a constable in Hicton and proprietor of its only soda-stand. Cohen ami De Fabio have accumulated great wealth manufacturing toy horns and whistles. McGovern hasn’t changed at bit. has he? He plays the part of the cherub in 1 Cherub. Little Sunny Cherub, by Rand, the playwright and profes- sional smiler. It’s being shown in Lilien’s Hard bra in Theatre.” Miss Cajxm. the liatless : “Speaking of the stage. Miss Sica, Miss Aquilino and Miss Ciasuli arc pantomimists. They almost ! ecame missionaries as did Miss Heidekat, Miss Current and Edward Harrison. And believe it or not, Miss Tay- lor and Miss Avallone are evangelists!” Mr. Barr, the meditative: “Hm-m .... Hymn. Here come Beatrice Kaufer and Dorothea Scharringhausen. Contented Hausfrauen they are now. Their hus- bands are friends of tne trans-Atlantic swimmer, Casebolt. and of Miller, the automat autocrat. Helene Gier is living a life of leisure. She invested wisely in the Kleilier Water-Wings Works. Dobbleaar is retired, too. He was in the freckle- removing business. By the way. is it true that Kathryn Van Nostrand is drawing a salary drawing?” 40 T A P S— 1 U N E 19 2 9 Mr. Saylor, the unconventional: “Si. Maestro. And I heard that Norcross is the most versatile man of the century. He’s an excellent diarist, swimmer, brief-case manufacturer, hiker, radio-broadcaster, conversationalist, and advertis- ing solicitor. Norcross always was able to give a g«H d account of himself. Kemp and Atkins there, ojxrate a chain of chain stores. Successful, too, hut it’s hard work. They're chained down to the business, so to sjieak. Jean Cause owns a j air of millinery shops. She sees little of Miss Capen. Vogt and Owen are on the scene. Can you imagine them producting the ‘Philadelphia Follies’?” Miss Capen. the confidante: “Easy! Mr. Frannicola. manager of the Nicho- las Cubs, saw the show and cried so precipitously that he had to seek treatment from that eminent specialist. I)r. Wotjanowski. Incidentally. Mr. Wheaton is a celebrated doctor. His gentleness and quiet sjieech are his greatest remedies. I heard that Miss McGregor owns fifty thoroughbred horses. What is Mr. Ulrich’s business? Anyone know?” Miss Coult. discipline's daughter: “Monkey business. Don’t stare like that Miss Capen, I’m not slinging slang. He really is in the monkey business. Buys and sells them. Very successful, too—many entrepreneurs are aping him. Congress has voted Rose La Penna a gold medal l ecause of her unequaled charitable ac- tivities. I saw it coming way back in 1929. Cor.cetta Terzo and Frances Meeker are lx� ok publishers, I believe.” Mr. Barr, the cautious: “I know it. Two of their live-wire representatives, Heaton and Del Russi. sctxited down my chimney the other day and wouldn’t leave the house until I had bought a copy of The Saxophone: An American Tragedy.” by Dorothy Casseres. Marguerite Gas| arini is in the silk handkerchief business. Ricigliano and Rotondi are the star salesmen. They’re kept running all day. They’re on the blow all the time. De Stefano. there, the ear-muff manufacturer, has an interest in the business. Oh look! there’s Marjorie Merz. She’s made a fortune out of ‘Giggle Water,’ a leverage which will cure any degree of melancholia.” Mr. Saylor, patience personified: “That reminds me. Tiedemann is mayor of a city out west. His campaign slogan was “More Good Luck.” Albano is a manlier of Mississippi River Board of Education. They have a school. Eleanor. Schindell is head of the local Contemporary and I mise West has a monopoly of all fashion shops. Consequently, Eleanor gets her clothes for almost nothing. What’s Nannie Johnson doing now?” Miss Coult, more h.nglish than the English: “She’s a teacher of domestic science. Trauth, there, is a prosperous realtor and Krauth. I mean Kraus, is a renowned chemist. Isn’t Hannah Ginslierg connected with “The Nation”?” Miss Capen, bonne et belle: “No, with “Vanity Fair.” There is Miss An- drews. One can see immediately that she is accustomed to being on the stage. This is her third season in Florence Sixfield’s “The Three Sharp Spears.” Mr. Stein manufactures mechanical men. Every one of them on lieing introduced to a person says automatically. ‘I was Stein to meet you.’ Now I have a surprise for you all. Do you see Mr. Marden? He’s married!” Miss Capen, what can ?tv add?: “And Dick Fitzsimons is a fussv old bache- lor!” Mr. Barr, the mild: “Hear ye! Hear ye! Regina Delaney is queen of a principality in Europe. It’s prime minister is Bruguier. Elizalieth Eckhouse is the country’s Eve La Gallienne. Hilda Goldhor is there, too. hut she’s too young to appreciate the art of IxHng governed.” Mr. Saylor, need more be said?: “Leone Brogan, Florence Brown and Louise Lally arc the only women lawyers in the state. It seems strange to me that more women haven’t used their natural resources commercially, so to speak, and lie- come attorneys. Lawyers must argue a great deal.........And now have a surprise. Hold your seats. Doris Holmes and Dorothy Hartz. there, own a farm in joint partnership in the country!” (Continued on Rage 52). 41 BARRINGER HIGH SCHOOL BARRINGER CLUBS SERVICE CLUB President ....................................

Helen Sirsholtz ■ 0 IE Service Club is one of the most active clubs in the whole school. Evi- dencc of this is not lacking, for the activities of the Service Club are less VI runted than those of the other clubs in Barringer and affect the school and community. Seme of the work of the Servic Gub girls is quite evident to everyone in the school but there is much done by these busy girls which few in the school ever hear about. 'Hie guards in the lunchroom are furnished by the club as well as ushers for graduations and all gatherings in the auditorium. We are supplied with our colors and all sorts of emblems for the footl all season bv the Service Club girls, and it is also they who keep us supplied with candy and jieanuts every year. Be- sides these services to the school the girls are always busy at Christmas time tak- ing care of the j oor and throughout the year helping at different institutions in the city. During the j� st year the Service Club has lieen run under a slightly different system. The meml ership was at first limited to sixty but later ojK ned to all the girls in the school. The membership at present, is one hundred and twenty-five. Xo dues are paid in the Service Club but with their sales it finances the Girl’s league as well as itself. Under the new program the girls of the club and their friends have enjoyed hearing several very fine foreign women sjx akers. With Miss Bishop as advisor the Service Club may look forward to many more good times and our Alma Mater may continue to call on us for service.

If the topic is of jnrticular inq ortance, different members prepare ar- guments on the pro and con of the subject. Mr. Ammarel usually opens the discus- sion with a brief survey of the topic. Here, besides hearing the other fellow’s point of view, one learns how to express himself. The Footimll Banquet and the Faculty Banquet are the outstanding s xial events of the year. Last term the club was the guest of the Girl Reserves at a dance at the Y. W. C. A. The Hi-Y is linked directly with Barringer through its handling of the Cor- ridor Patrol. At lunch period members of this club are stationed on the stairs and in the corridor to direct the students out of the building and to the lunch room.

William Bullock “ 0 IE Science Club, which was organized in 1912, is a descendant of the '•f gassiz Society of the old Newark High School. The purpose of this club Vlx is to bring the pupils into direct contact with the problems and «accomplish- ments of the world of Science. This is done through lectures, demonstra- tions. motion pictures, trips and student programs. The most interesting programs of the present school year have l een the illustrated lecture on “Television” furnished by the New Jersey Bell Telephone Company, the lecture on “Other Worlds Than Ours,” by Mr. Arthur Carpenter and the talk on Radio by Mr. Albert Sonn of the Newark Sunday Call. There are over three hundred memters in the Science Club and through these activities their science work is greatly supplemented. EL CIRCULO ESPANOL President ..................................... Edward Ritger Pice-President .......................... Pauline Saltanoff Secretary ..................................... Paul Kopelan 6LEVEN years ago the Spanish Club was organized by Mr. Sawyer. Its gen- eral | ur|x)se is to acquaint the students of Spanish with the manners and customs of Spain. To accomplish this, many different types of entertainment are presented at the meetings. Spanish games, songs and readings are planned by the entertain- ment committee. Trips are taken during the term to New York to visit the Span- ish Museum. This term the club had the pleasure of seeing in New York, the Spanish play “The Cradle Song.” by the great Spanish dramatist Martinez Sierra. We feel sure that those students of Spanish who subscribe to this organiza- tion. gain much general knowledge of Sjxiin and Sjxmish that amid not be learned from text Ixmks. morever it is a pleasure to learn in this entertaining way. THE GERMAN CLUB President ..................................... Leonard Rard Pice-President ................................ Sarah Danzig Treasurer.......................................... Sidney Kiel Secretary...................................... Sarah Goroltsky IE German Club was organized by Mr. Xicklas tefore the World War It was discontinued during the war when the language was debarred. Later Vi Mr. Nicholas «again organized the club, remaining as Faculty Advisor until 1926. Miss Smith and Miss Weiss then assumed the leadership. The meetings are most interesting and bring out a large number of memters. ()ne of the l est meet- ings is the Christmas celebration with its gaily decorated Tannenhaum and its honest-to-goodness German cakes, some of which are marie by none other than the king’s own baker «at Munich. This meeting is typically German. All the mem- l ers particijxite in the German Christmas songs and games. Then cakes, cookies, candy and “line schoene ziet” (ask a German student) follow with good old Yankee Punch. There are too many delightful times enjoyed by the memters to relate here. Try to imagine them yourself, or tetter still, be sure to include German in your studies and have a share in these pleasures yourself.

Doesn’t that name bring back to you the time Bill” entered our Alma Slater and immediately went out for track? In his first year 2o, he lived up to expectations and received his let- ter. All in all. he was the receiver of three major BY in track. In '27. '28. he was the city high school champion high-jumper, defeating the best our high school could offer. He has also received a minor B for participating in tennis. WILLIAM BULLOCK In the spring of 26. Bill went out for the assis- tant-managership of Basel� all. Bullock worked hard during the season, and as the result of his labors, he was elected manager the next year. 27. and earned his B.” Bullock still had two years. ‘2 . and 29 in sch ol; so his interest in baseball led him to write up our victories and defeats for the nvwsoapc's. Bill has confined his athletics to baseball. Bullock and baseball form a perfect alliteration. JOHN HIGGINS Any loyal Barringer l ascbal! rooter who spends his leisure hours around Branch Brook Park Rese- voir watching his faithful cohorts practicing, can't help m ticing the agile body of Johnny, the star port-sidcr of the Barringer team. Although Johnny is little over five (5) feet in height, many teams were forced to taste the bitter cup of defeat because of his splendid mound work. All his athletic time lias been spent on baseball: and after receiving a major B in 28. lie was elected as captain of our '29 team, which is a big job for such a litt’e fellow. NICH( )LAS FRAN NICOLA In order that the athletic teams may have oppo- nents to play against, there must be a person to ar- range a schedule. This important duty went to Nicholas Frannicola. «ur football manager of 28. In the fall of 26 Nicholas toiled as assistant foot- ball manager, and likewise in '27. Through his good work, he was elected manager 28. for which re- sponsibility he received his ‘B. •17 BARRINGER HIGH SCHOOL TRACK SQUAD BASEBALL SQUAD T A PS — I U N E 19 29 SCHOLASTIC HONOR LIST Valedictorian.

Who. unannounced 1� v bugle or by drums. Walks with assumed ami ostentatious grace. But has not vet the Senior’s steady pace. Behind the Junior comes another boy— His face expresses ecstacv and joy. His boasting stride, his quick uneven gait Proclaims a Soph, with granduer puffed, elate. The Freshie’s gait is not so sure as these; He walks uncertain, ill. he seems at ease. His blank, unsmiling, vacant counte- nance. Discloses him to us in his advance. S. J.

How to be Popular in Ten Lessons,” advertise- ments. and books on etiquette were hastily consulted. They all were unanimous in stating that if two persons had com- mon interests and attributes, their time spent together would be most agreeable. And, if only for futuristic reasons, the Seniors wanted to impress their instruc- tors favorably. So— The poor (economically speaking, of course) boy who was assigned to Miss Coult studied English grammar until he became pro-noun. . The girl who drew Mr. Saylor neg- lected to fix her hair in the morning. Miss Smith's escort read a German Bible through several times. The girl picked to accompany Mr. Pritchard caught a cold and became hoarse. The boy delegated to Miss Capen de- cided to act like a regular fellow. Mr. Snavely's convoy stopped dieting. The boy who was to conduct Miss Beebe bought a book called “How to be Popular with the Ladies. Mr. Barr's accompanist (oop!) pulled out nearly all her hair (not in anger, of course). 'I he boy told to lead Miss Pullin prac- ticed whistling softly. The girl asked to follow Mr. Taylor was almost at her wit’s end when she thought of getting used to saying yes and nodding her head at the same time.

There I was ahsentmindedly coming down an “up” stair- way. when I felt a firm, and an arresting hold on my arm. I glanced in the direction of my left elbow, where the pressure increased with |persistence, and saw a hand. A human hand! A woman's hand! I dared not scream. )ne doesn’t act like that, no—not when one is descend- ing an ascent. So I glanced along the fingers of this detaining hand to the wrist; to the shoulder; to the face of — Miss Skidmore. Now | erhaps you think you are quite familiar with the numerous expres- sions that apjpear on this lady’s face. Hut you’re not. At least you have no idea what this one was like on this occasion. Xo smile. No frown. No semblance of finality, of decision, of a mind made up. You know what I mean. Her usual linn eyes, trained to penetrate any and every circumstance, were filled with de- s|xiir, with anxiety, with terror. She even seemed uncertain as to what to do next. Miss Skidmore—can you imagine that? I felt my knees tremble and my conscience prick. There I was in the very u t of going doTvn an up. Goodness knows how many times she had seen me “downing an “up that day! She sjpoke first. “Come into my office, my dear.” .1 y dear! Surely something was radically wrong! Miss Skidmore had never addressed me Ipefore in such endearing terms. I must have seemed reluctant for she gave my arm an imjxitient jerk. Non must, she said. “You must come. It is necessarv for me to confide in someone. And you «are the first person I ve met since it hapjpened. There! Sit in that chair, my dear.” I was all atrcmble. I sat. In fact. I was glad to sit for the chair was one I had occupied Ipefore. But under circumstances quite different. Miss Skidmore sat at her desk. She leaned forward, moved the phone to one side, and began: “My dear! My dear! You do not know the history of my life. I will sketch for you. briefly, enough of it to acquaint you with what took place last night. I have been, as you must know busy at Barringer for many years. But what «am I to do now. pray tell? Barringer, good old Barringer has l een changed. Last night I was officially apjpointed Tardy Starter (T. S.). by the Board of Edu- cation. I hey gave me a license and an air-plane, henceforth to lx. my desk. They «also gave me a book of requisition blanks to lx used in this new. this up-to-date scheme. I am to equip each Barringer student from now on with an «air-plane, outfitted for four years and guaranteed to land safely, if well-guided, at the exit h.angar of the Barringer Flying Camp. Can you imagine me. my dear, Ipccoming a teacher of aviation instead of Algebra.' Oh, well. 1 always did wonder of what practical use algebra might lx . Now I know. They have'picked me out because they hojx I can figure out some solution to the problems of Restless Youth. I never thought, though, that they would come to the point of allowing these young 60 TAPS — JUNE 19 2 9 people to fly through High School. It will lx. hard on the retarded ones. They arc not used to hurrying so. “I am also provided with a gasoline station. 'Hie fillers are to lx well marked with the hi-test. hi-|x wered gases. For instance, one tank will lx called Pep. An- other, Brains. Another, Accuracy. And so on. Now my dear, I feel I know these High School students well enough to predict that some of them will supply their own gas bought at the Station called Experience. If a plane comes down and its wings are harmed there will lx; some pilot who will walk off and say: “Oh, what of it? I’ll learn to fly in the Summer School of Aviation! If I offer to fill an engine with Pep-gas some' pilot is going to object because he is quite satis- fied with a Seven, so why try to go Nine? Oh. I know their excuses by heart. ‘Did niv lessons in school, ‘Stayed home to help mother.’ ‘Forgot my excuse.’ ‘Stayed home because I was late,’ And so on. “Then I see another difficulty ahead. No matter how many accidents we have I feel certain that many will want another chance. I shall, of course, send them to the Boss-Pilot, Stearns. He really isn’t stern at all. you know.

MINOR B MEN GEORGE CASE BO FT In the Spring of ’28 when Mr. Payton called for swimming candidates. George was one of the many lx� vs who answered the call. Casebolt met with un- usual success and was given a lx rth on the varsity. His training was finally re- warded when he won the city title in the breast stroke. But he climaxed his career when he «again won the city breast stroke championship in 29. George was one of our cheer-leaders last football season. SAMUEL DE FABIO In ’26 while out for interdass soccer, Sam was asked to try for the varsity team. After learning the fundamentals that year, he succeeded in landing a varsity position during the two following years. '27 and ’28 as a star wing. He played on the championship inter-class team '28. He tried tr.ack; but he found his efforts were lx tter rewarded in l asel� all. So this year we find him struggling for a var- sity position. 61 BARRINGER HIGH SCHOOL VITO GUAR I NO As a Freshman, Guarino joined the soccer squad in ’26 and won his “B.” In ’27 and ’28. he played the regular right fullback position. Throughout his career. Vito has been responsible for saving many games for the Big Blue, for he is indeed a versatile player. In ’26 he played on the Freshman interclass cham- pionship team as goal-tender; and in ’28. when the Seniors won the interclass championship, his |x sition was that « f fullback. JOHN HAIGHT John, desirous of taking j art in the school athletic activities, turned his at- tentions to the role of manager. He was an assistant manager of soccer in ’26, '27, and for his lal ors. was elected manager in ’28, for which he received his “B.” ROBERT KUKBFR In ’26, while Klieber was still a Freshman, lie l egan his aquatic career by try- ing out for the swimming team. He failed to earn his letter that year, hut he did help them win the city championship. During '27, '28. and ’29. Kliel er was a varsity man, and his events mostly in the free-stvle class. For his gcxxl work, “Bob” was elected our captain for '29. This year lie was runner-up for the city title breast stroke; and on the city championship relay team ’28 and ’29. RALPH MORTON For three years. Ralph has l een with the swimming team. He started as a breast stroker and has improved each year. In ’28 he got third place in the city meet breast stroke event, for which he received his “B.” In the early jxart of the ’29 season, he was handicap|xxl by sickness. However, he soon returned with us. and has earned more than enough points to insure him of another “B”. STERLING E. XORCROSS In his two years at Barringer. Sterling has received minor “B’s” in swim- ming 28, 29 and tennis ’29. In ’28. his first year out for swimming, he had little trouble landing a varsity berth. His events were the forty yard free-stvle and back-stroke, and the relay. He was runner-up for the city back-stroke title ’28. and also the school all-around championships. Competing in the same events this year, he has amassed sixty-four |x ints to be high |x� int scorer. He swam on the city championship relay team ’28 and '29 and was third for the city back-stroke title ’29. He acquired his tennis “B” as our manager this season. WILLIAM T. PECORA Who does not know of Bill and relations with the fencing team? While still a Sophomore, lie went out for fencing to learn the fundamentals of the game. He soon mastered the art so well, tliat he was entered in many matches in ’28 and received his “B”. For his fine work that year, he was elected captain of our ’29 team. This year he has met with much success, and his many victories have stamped him as one of the l est fencers in Barringer’s history. Keep up the gcxxl work.

Hut it so hajjpens that on this day we also sharpen our school spirit. We invade the colorful stadium as a lx dv to root for our lx vs in blue. So while it is that most of us never miss the Barringer East Orange football tournament, I wonder how many of us stop to think just how this particular game came to Ik. one of the high-lights of high school football in the East ? It seems that in 1906 four schools drew up an agreement which would bind them into one group, which was to be called the New Jersey Interscholastic Ath- letic Association, comjxjsed of one member from each school. The four schools were: Stevens Preparatory School, Newark High School. Montclair and East Orange High Schools. The purjxjse of this association was two-fold. It was to decide on the eligibility of the players; and preserve friendly relations ! etween the sch(X)Is. In 1917 Stevens Prej aratory School withdrew from this league, but they were shortly replaced bv Dickinson High School of Jersey City. Barringer and East Orange have for some years held their annual struggle on I hanksgiving Day. subject to the rules drawn up by this association. There- fore we see that it was the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association that prompted this annual affair. The following is a copy of the original agreement written over twenty-three years ago and signed by the principal of the schools represented: May 31. 1906 hereas, representatives of the student lxKlies of the Stevens Prejxiratory School, the Newark High School, the Montclair High School, and the East Orange High School have organized an Interscholastic Athletic Association, and hereas. the principals of the alx ve mentioned schools recognize the desira- bility of so directing the athletic affairs of their sch x� ls as to make them the great- est possible value in connection with their sch x� l work. Therefore, the principals of the alx ve mentioned schools hereby agree among themselves as follows: First, That previous to any games between representatives of their schools, they will interchange lists of the names of the pupils who have their j ermission to engage therein. Second: That they will not include in said lists names of: (a) Any person who has reached the age of 21 years. (b) Any j crson whose princi] al reason for attending the school apj)ears to be that he may engage in such games. (c) Any i erson who. in their judgement, should be debarred for disciplinary reasons. (d) Any person who, in their judgement should Ik debarred l ecause of failure in regular school work. (e) Any persons not above specified, when in their judgement there is suffi- cient reasons for doing so. The foregoing requirements will apply to the annual interscholastic meet, but the interchange of eligibility lists will not Ik necessary on that occasion. Third: The foregoing agreement is effective on and after June 1st. 1906. (Signed) : F. T. Sevenoak, Principal of Stevens Preparatory School. Wayland E. Stearns. Principal of Newark High School. Randall Spaulding. Principal of Montclair High School. Charles V. Evans. Principal of Hast Orange High School. T APS—JUNE 19 2 9 CLASS SONGS i. Xow TAPS has rung its last. From Barringer now we pass.

Like all modern lan- C� fvguagc dubs, its purjiose is to better acquaint the student with the art. vL music, language, history and customs of that country. Its constitution is modeled after the government of ancient Rome. Able committees have charge of the many activities. The s x ial committee has charge of a semi-annual reception and dance. An excursion committee plans interesting tri| s to Ik taken throughout the term. Last term the club presented a very interesting entertainment combining a recital by several well-known artists and a play entitled “The Three Graces.” The success of this entertainment was due to the work of the memliers and advisor Mr. V. L. Sibilia. The proceeds of this program were donated to the founding of an Italian Library in Barringer. Meetings of this club are held twice a month, the programs lieing prepared by a program committee with the help of the Faculty Advisor. The meetings are usually of a musical and instructive character.________________________ (Continued From Page 65) June 6—The “Ides of June exams approacheth sjx edily.

The same low whisper of friendships dear; The same farewells and passing shades Like the sun half hidden in woodland glades; The same soft tears for divided ways, The same fond vows for the coming days. The same frail barque on the shoreless sea. The same mute fear of the Is-to-bc. God keep you fair as the flowers you hold.
