On the surface it is hut a happy chronological occurrence. There lies a deeper significance than what is to lie found in mere numbers, in applying this name to the Harringer of today. It suggests a transition ix riod in the life of the school, the demise of the old and the birth of the new. At the mention of these words, we see Harringer undergoing an entirely new development, a definite indication of changing times. As one reaches the end of a | eriod of time, it is fitting to look hack over the past and to survey what has been wrought by those of yore. It is with pride that we think of the line of ninety-eight Harringer classes, which, by their high quality and splendid achievements, have placed the school in the ranks of the distinguished. We see their hand in public life, in daily contacts, and in teachers themselves in Harringer. Our hearts swell and we feel privileged to lx the ninety-ninth link of this glorious chain. Vet at this same time there is another mood to l e enjoyed. It is that of having had a share in sowing the seeds that will bear fruit in the days to come. While we may properly revere the |� ast. we must also turn our eyes to the future. This is perhaps the most important duly of those whose lot it is to bridge the span from one era to the next. 1 listorv is replete with new movements which were commenced at the close of one century and blossomed into full bloom in the earlv years of the following one. This, we feel, has been the challenge to the Class of January 1931. And it has not been unanswered. We have striven in every way to introduce the new and novel, the more worth while and the more pleasurable into the life of Harringer. 'flic success of this endeavor can in no way lx- measured at the moment. It is rather for those who succeed us to estimate it. Hut this we seek from our suc- cessors. leniency and fair trial to our efforts. We have made but a beginning in this work. May those who follow carry on until the true value shall be determined. As we pass from Harringer there is the feeling that we have in some small way attempted to repay for the great gifts that have been bestowed upon us. The count can never lx equalized, but it can ix lessened by the love and service of each graduating class. 8 MAY V US Fin de Si ecle — January 1931 «V MICHAEL BERMAN Mike Classical French Undecided The strength of Gibraltar President of 4A, 4B, 3A. 3B Classes; Football ’28, '29, ’30.

And only yesterday an awful big 1h� v said that teachers always “flunked (tha means you don’t pass) all the pupils they don’t like. We have to walk up an awful lot of stairs and another lx y which was a sophmore told me to take the elevator to the fourth floor. 1 looked for it lmt somehow 1 couldn’t find it anywhere. Sc� I had to walk upstairs again. Do you think 1 am so very small for my height? I went in the rong wroom to-day and a lot of big hoys laughed and said oh look at the litel frcshie. I’m so scared. I do not like this school. Your friend. P. S. A gurl told me their ain’t no Santy Claus—I said there was. Did I do rite? End of Sophomore Year. Dear. Say. you should see the bunch of freshies that came in this Septeml� er’s load! They’re so funny; and dumi� —don’t mention it! I’ve passed everything, so far. D’ya know, school is easy if you know how to bluff. As a cliiss we haven’t done much. yet. But just wait until we start. I have a hunch we are not going to l e good—hut great. Ta-ta. End of Junior B Term Dearest. Well, this term we sort of got together, if you know what I mean. We elected Mike Berman, president; Margaret Guarino. vice-president; Mary Reed, secretary, and Joseph Rubino. treasurer. But the brainiest thing we did was to choose Miss Margaret K. Jones as our class advisor. Already I can see my prophecy being fulfilled with her at the wheel. Contrary to what 1 may have said last time, take it from me. school is no child’s play. And teachers cannot Ik bluffed. Howsomever. I’m still in the class I started with. A junior-ah-h-h. It is a grand and glorious feeling. Gieerio. lunior A Term Hello! I must tell you what we’ve been doing with ourselves lately. Money may not l c everything in life, but it’s darn near it. csj ecially in the life of a class. So we had a real big successful theatre party at the Branford. Then we also had some- thing to do with some bridge covers and pillows. The less said about them the letter. We have officers again this term. Berman is president, Ivina Rvan. vice- president. Mary Reed, secretary, and Arthur Wertheim. treasurer. ()ur first social venture was a dance in honor of the football team. Every- body had a wonderful time and it brought us much closer together. It’s strange how the size of our class has dwindled. It has become rather small, exclusive, you know. Still it's not strange when you consider all the 32 F i n de S i e c I e — January 1931 diabolical forms of torture (groiqx'd under the head of “education”) which arc concocted to oppress one. Much more for you next time, so—lie prewired. Knd of Senior B Term. What I lo! You know we may have had a humble lx ginning (even WK had to make a •start) hut now we are right on top. Honestly, I think we are sujierl). We all confess it. sort of break down ami admit it. Why? Well, just ]«iy close attention to what I’m going tin say. IVoliablv the most brilliant and grainiest alTair « f our whole career was our ( aha ret. I.cs Folies Barringeres. held right in our own gym. which you would have never recognized decorated ;is ii was in yellow and orange. The entertainment was of an exceptional ty|x and the refreshments were oh so good! Then the dancing and then next morning the cleanup. But let’s think only of the brighter side. We made a tidy sum on this gala event and carved our names high on the Shield of higinality. Our celebrated Wednesday afternoon dances in the gym took the school by storm and provided an endless source of pleasure to the students as well as a few jK-nnies for our exchequer. It seems to Ik- quite the customary thing for 4B s to entertain the reigning 4A s. We observed this custom (one of the few we did Ihiw to) and feel sure that every senior had a splendid afternoon in spite of the proverbial jinx of Friday the 13th. the day on which the reception was held. We just don't know what bad luck is! The Senior I Torn held at the Mosque Ballroom on June 7th was a social conquest. It was the first atTair of it kind in all the annals of Barringer. Tho it set a high mark to shoot at. artistically, it came far from swelling our bank account. But the term cut our activities short here, so more next time. Our officers were Mike Berman. Renee Cause. Morris Klein, and Stuart O'Malley in the usual order of positions. So long. Senior A Term. Heigh-Ho! Continuing where we left olT last term, and now reenforced by our titular position, we swept into a grand finale for this term. Miss Jones, our most resourceful advisor, came forward with brilliant schemes to put us on the right side of the ledger once more. We were granted the concession to puhlidi the weekly programs for the Stadium football games as well as for the Barringer Fast Orange classic. Then, t«M . we sold Christmas cards. Between these two we managed to make quite a presentable showing, financially. A second, bigger and ln-tter dance was held at the Mosque on the night after Thanksgiving and this “Senior Ball . I am happy to say. proved to lx- a success in every way. f course one of our greatest undertakings was the publi hing of our year lxK� k. This appeared in January and was a fitting climax to our illustrious career. Our officers were again most capable and efficient. Berman received Ins fourth presidency. Renee Cause was vice-president; Mildred Xelxischek. secretary, and Stuart ()'Mal!ey treasurer. This last period has been so active that 1 can scarcely realize that in a short while I sliall no longer come to Barringer which I so honestly and truly love. Adios. AS Fin de S i e c 1 e — January 1931 After Graduation. (lierie, It’s over, all over, and soon somebody else will step into the niche that we have just left. Will the next class he able to fill it as we hojx? we’ve done? 1 wonder—and hoi . so- In looking hack over our four or five or six years in Barringer, it is easy to see that the “coup d’etat” of all our career was our choice of Miss Jones as class advisor. She has lx en too perfect. Need more I said? It may have taken ninety-eight classes liefore us to produce us. the ninety- ninth. hut what could have been a more fitting “fin de siecle than the class of January 1931? Kven the liest of things must have an end. so. Au Revoir. FOUR YEARS’ CRUISE Freshmen we were. l ewildcred and lost. Like a schooner in a gale at sea. W’e submitted to fate and |Ktid our cost Like a good little willy one bee. The days were long and our course was hard W’e were cursed with sophomore pranks nd every four weeks when we showed our cards We were forced to walk the planks. II The Temjjest calmed, after horrible days W’e sailed on a sea of bliss W’e were suddenly seized with a terrible craze To taunt every freshie on list Now we were proud and very sedate For we were good old sophs And with every senior we would debate I might even say with profs. III ( ur ship s] ed on. we settled down W’e sailed on a brand new sea 'Pilings had changed, we wore a frown W'e wondered what could it Ik . W e did as Juniors should always do And walked with an air of ease. W’e studied hard ami the days just Hew Urged by a sweet scented breeze. IV Thunder roared, we jumped to our toes Miss Jones was with us too. Deftly we worked as everyone knows W’e “Grads were a busy crew At last a port came into view. ( ur hearts were Iieating fast Lverything seemed so strangely new, In our memories that voyage will last. 34 Fin de Siecle — January 19 3 1 Tftiertcs. Wr T N Alma Mater's hall of fame, upon her plaque of honor, names, famous as Barringer athletes, have l een inscrilied; names that will stand unblemished, as mighty representatives who have carried the proud Blue and White to the fore. In this hall and upon this placque new names have just been inscribed—names of the many famed athletes of the Class of January 1931. With the passing of this class, athletes who have established themselves fore- most on the cinder path or football gridiron or on any field of play have left behind them not only the trophies of victory or the fame of supremacy but the reputation of wholesome s|x)rtsmanship of leader and conqueror—a reputation emblazoned in Barringer's records as athletes of the highest type, not alone in physical ability but in manly character and devoted loyalty. These wearers of the Blue toga, with Berman as their guiding star, have established Barringer higher in the world of sport and have elevated her to a superior niche in the hall of fame. They have truly made it a Fin de Siecle. the ending of the old. the beginning of the new—the era of a higher type athlete, summoning and l eckoning to the coming athletes of Barringer to carry on where Berman and the rest have left off— to develop this athlete of a new century superior in body, mind and character. 35 Fin de Siecle — January 19 3 1 MAJOR “B” MEN MICHAEL HERMAN What can be said about Mike which is not already Barringer history? He captained the track team in '29 and again in '30, thereby breaking down the long standing tradition that one holds the cap- taincy tor but a single year. He has excelled in all weight events and has run a fast 220 yards to help win several meets. It is quite the usual thing for Mike to return front a meet having garnered twenty points for Barringer in his four events. Since he has been on the team, he has held the state championships in all weight events and has made himself the outstanding weight man in the state. He holds also among his records a third in the National meet held at Philadelphia in '29. In track he has earned three block BY three wreath BY’, and a gold track shoe, significant of bringing the state title to Barringer. Between track seasons Mike has played football —and how! It is difficult to decide in which field he stand� higher. '28 and ’29 saw him doing excel- lent work in the backtield and '30 brought the captancy to him. Here he has added two more block “BY to his collection. The above facts are quite sufficient reason to proclaim Mike the greatest athlete in every way to graduate from Barringer since the days of “Whitcy” Lloyd. LAWRENCE WASSER Larry, the second of our Three Musketeers of Sport , is one of the greatest stars on the track team. He stamped himself as a great sprinter when he went out for track in ’27. and won the city junior 75 yard dash. In '28, ’29. and ’30 Red was one of our most consistent point scorers, never failing to swell the Barringer total. He is the holder of the indoor state 220 yard dash crown and several other enviable records. Perhaps his most notable achievement was breaking the N. J. I. A. A. 220 yard record which had stood for twenty years. He was also the anchor man on the 1930 state championship relay team. Wasscr turned his attention to football too and after trying hard tor several seasons, he secured a berth on this year’s eleven. Three Pi emblems, three major “B’s” and a gold track shoe testify to his prowess in Barringer sports. 36 Fin de Siecle — January 1931 WILLIAM DEN BERG Bill completes the illustrious triumvirate and is a worthy partner of Berman and Wasscr. Anybody who sj cnds even a few � Kld moments at the City Field Stadium knows Bill. He first took track in a big way in '28, when in this, his first year, he distinguished himself as a hurdler and high- jumper of note and won his letter. Since then he has won two more letters in this sport and has become a man ex- tremely hard to best in competition. Willy shines as brightly on the gridiron as on the cinder path. Here he won his letter in ’29, alternating between guard and tackle. This year found him head and shoulders above any other aspi- rants for the position of guard and due to garner his fifth major letter. PAUL GEIGES Paul is our best example of what persistency can do for athletes. He went out first for baseball in '28 and developed slowly but surely tinder the watchful eye of Lew Fields and finally won a position in the '30 outfield for which he received his B . In spite of this. Paul’s favorite sjM� rt is football where he has been laboring for three years to earn his letter. The first two years a wealth of star linesmen deprived him of an opportunity to display his wares. As we go to press, he seems destined to obtain that honor this year. HERBERT HEIKISCH Although Herb is best known as one of Coach Pritchard's standbys, it was in track that he made his first letter, '27 saw him establish a reputation as a pole vaulter and easily secure the necessary number of points for his first emblem. The next season he continued his pole-vaulting and Vic Salerno brought him out as a good hundred-yard dasher. Football claimed him in '27 when he played competently at guard. In '28 he rose to his heights as a gridiron star and thus won another letter. Since then over age rules have kept him from action. Not content with two major letters, he earned a minor “B at tennis, which makes him one of the few three letter men in the school. 37 Fin de Si ec 1 e — January 1931 MORRIS KLEIN It is not always the players on the field who are respon- sible for a victory. Often the real reason is the group on the bench. To this group belongs Red. our well-known man- ager of the football team this year. With the close of the '29 footbal season, he was overwhelmingly elected manager in appreciation of his faithful service as an assistant. Hold- ing his |H� t in a most acceptable fashion, he was awarded his major letter this year. Red's active athletic work has been on the tennis courts, where he won his minor “B . After a year of tutelage for singles and doubles by Coach Ayres, he blossomed into a first-class netster and was particularly noted as part of the Hufnagel-Klein doubles combination. STUART O’MALLEY As Barringer’s chief performer at the keystone sack. Stu won his letter ami commendation from the vast majority of baseball fans. Although he worked hard in his first season out, '28. he did not make much of a showing, due to the fact that twelve lettermen had returned. The next sea- son he was back on the job. bound to make a place for hint- self on the team. He gained valuable experience by breaking into several games. The season of '30 found him holding down the important position of second base on the varsity. He played in every game during the season and thus became the possessor of the major “B . MARIO DI GIOVANNI Mario is another trackman who will make the track team groan when lie graduates. Although Dig was out for track in '28 and '29, it was not until last year that lie received his letter. It sems that all that was spectacular in him was being stored up for 1930. In that year he took first places in several meets. But his most remarkable feat was in the Kearny relays. He proved a real factor in the victory of the relay team which won the state championship. For this he received the highest award that an athlete may receive in Barringer, a wreath B”. Perseverance personified, he de- serves every bit of glory that he has attained. 38 Fin de S i e c I e — January 1931 PATRICK PASTORE Pat has devoted all his athletic ability t baseball. Ik- won two letters in this sport, in '29 and '30. Pat first came out in '28 with ideas of becoming a pitcher and was groomed as such by Lew Fields for the next season. However, in '29 he was converted into an outfielder by reason of his hard hitting ability. He played bang-up kill in the outfield in '29 and '30 and in the latter year got his chance to do some hurling as relief pitcher. Everyone feels that Barringer will lose a good player when Pat graduates. MILTON BAUCHXER Milt was a member of the junior relay team in his first track season. '28. In '29 he liegan to run dashes and in these, together with the broad jump, he scored more than the required number of points to earn his letter. In 1930 Milt was all ready to burn up the track, but was forced to hang up his shoes by doctor’s orders and from then on he ha devoted all his time to being a good student. ANTHONY ZOPPI Only two years service on the diamond and Tony stands as one of the niftiest ball-tossers in our ranks. In '29 his rise was little short of meteoric. His sensational work afield and at kit soon supplanted the regular third baseman. In '30 Tony was again a sensation. He started the season at short but ineligibility weakened the catching department, so versatile Tony went to work behind the kit and did a mighty line job at it. Besides this, he played in the outfield aim t � ok his turn on the mound. For this sterling work he was named by his teammates as the most valuable player on the team. You’ll sec him in the Big Leagues before iotig! 39 Fin de S i ec I e — January 1931 PETER VALLA RIO Pete owns both a major and minor “B . He turned his thoughts and deeds to baseball in '28 and showed up well in a few games. '29 told a different story and Pete easily annexed the catching assignment By catching every game lie won his block B . Vet. he is much prouder of his achievements in soccer. In this sport he owns two letters for playing a leading role in the seasons of '28 and ’29 and bringing many a well won victory to Barringer. JULIUS MAKOW Jules made his mark in baseball and soccer. An overabundance of good catchers kept him on the bench in his first venture into baseball in '28. Then in '29 with a great season in view, he was declared ineligible. I-ast term it looked as though his hard luck would break but in the very first game lie received a leg injury which kept him out of com- petition for the remainder of the season. However, he did receive his B . Fortune smiled much more brightly on him in the field of soccer. In '27 and '28 lie starred as goalie and for this excellent work he was elected to lead the '29 team which, incidentally, was vic- torious in the majority of its contests. CORD and “B” GIRLS ARLENE GUEST Arl has been one of Barringer's best girl athletes. For her good posture and splendid workmanship she has received both the red and the blue coals for the sophomore and junior years respectively. She has been a dependable gym captain for three years. Then, too she was one of the participants in the May Day Program given in 1930. MARGARET GUARINO Margaret stands out as a fine steady worker in gym. She took part in the Gym Exhibition given m 2 . Her efforts have been rewarded by both sophomore and junior cords. She has Iieen a gym captain since her sophomore year, in the Spring Gym Meet she captured second place and her B . She also took part in the May Day Program. 40 Fin cl e Siecle — January 19 3 1 MINOR “B” MEN PATRICK D'AMELIA Although Patsy tried his luck at track in '29 and 30, he discovered that his real skill lay in the direction of soccer. In this sport he made his letter twice, in ’28 and '29. His fine playing and jovial dispositon as one of the hacks contributed largely to the team’s success. JEROME ZABARSKV Letters in two minor sports, swimming and tennis, show Jerry’s interest in sports. He proved his mettle as a swimmer by lying anchor man on the city championship relay team and the star breastroker in '29. In tennis he was equally successful. His stamina and skill mask him one of the mainstays of the '30 team, where he played number three man. turning in one of the best records of the season. ISADORE ZUCKER Everybody knows lazy as the boy who hcl|H'd lead the cheers in ’29 and who, for his good all-around work, was elected head cheer leader for this football season. He is also quite a swimmer but after starting in the '29 season with a bang, he was forced to retire on account of a serious operation. However, he is justly proud of a cheerleader's B” and a swimmer's ,,B2 . NATHAN FISHMAN Nathan is another who found that real success was for him not on the track but in the broad open spaces of cross-country. He made the team easily in his initial attempt in '28. Since then he has participated in every meet that the Barringer cross-country team has run. His efforts have been rewarded by three letters. HENRY HUFNAGEL Tennis is Henry's forte. There is no doubt about that, as any observer of the teams of '29 and '30 will tell you. After a promising start in the former year, he was back last season to win a position on the varsity. His playing was markedly powerful both in singles and doubles ami with Klein he composes a really extraordinary doubles team. 41 Fin de S i e c I e — January 1931 CROSS-COUNTRY SQL'AD FOOTBALL SQUAD 42 Fin de Sieele — January 19 3 1 1838: WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG Percy, it’s well nigh time to get up.” called mother. “But. mother, it's only half-past four. “Yes, hut it is snowing and you have a good hour’s walk to school.

Mr. Stearns: (lovingly leaning golf sticks against chair, murmurs) I’d never have called this meeting if the | aper hadn’t said rain, (aloud) Now that we are all here, let’s get the business over and lie snappy. (Relaxes into chair.) ( Miss Weiss and Miss Smith commence to | ass out ] amphlets.) Mr. Stearns: Xow, that we’re all set. are there any complaints, suggestions, questions or the like? (Rattle of machine guns, sound of siren and general bedlam.) Voices (excitedly): What is it? What is it? They’re putting someone on the spot! Miss (irork (wearily): It’s only Miss Brettle and Miss Dow having a chat. Miss Belcher: I would like to know what they are doing for gym work this year. Mr. Haulenlieek: Yes. aren’t the pupils suffering? Mr. Field: h, no! The office is allowing them to take turns bringing notices to the class rooms. Mr. Stone (entering, pockets laden with erasers): Excuse me for lieing late but those lx)vs in 66 make too much noise. Miss M. E. Jones (quite j erplexed): Mr. Stearns, could you tell me how to find half a pupil? (Teachers look at each other.) I have lost half a hoy this month in my register and I don't know what to do. Voice: Probably lie's lost in her desk. Miss Jones (proudly): Xo. I have a new one. Mr. Taylor: He reported on my front seat this afternoon. I thought he had only shrunk. By the way. I want some cushions for those reserved seats. Trade’s falling off. Miss Robinson: I too wish to make a request concerning seats. In fact. I demand that the orchestra seats be nailed to the floor. Why only last week the statement was made that the music sounded ragged! Small wonder! Upon inves- tigation I found that a chair had been moved a quarter of an inch. A whole quarter of an inch, mind you! (Mr. Townsend makes several attempts to stifle yawns, gives up and falls asleep.) Mr. Ayers (meekly to teacher at left): Er. could you tell me how long it takes to bake potatoes? Mr. King: What? What did you say? Oh. yes . . . yes, a good hour! Mr. Ayers (again) : Could you tell me how to make cream puffs? Mr. Wood (smiling): .Search me . . . Wait a minute! Ask Mr. Suavely, he ought to know. Miss Hewitt (waving stalk of celery which has fallen from l ag on her lap): Could you tell me who has any extra F’s. I have run out of my supply.

I wish to ask that before this term goes any further that I be addressed as Madame Carleu. Miss Capen (interrupting): By the hve. let’s ojien the new gym with a party. (Teachers look dubious, some frown disapprovingly. Mr. Townsend wakes up at the word “party”.) Miss Patrick: I will not have food thrown around on mv new floor. Have jieople step on it and stain it with cake and candy? I should sav not. Mr. Saylor (brightly) : Let’s have the party and then have the 4.Vs clean up the mess on the gym floor. Miss Patrick (still obdurate): Xo! Xo! It would never l e the same again. Voice: You lK t it wouldn’t. Mr. Stearns: I have a petition from a number of students, complaining that they can’t tell the sandwiches from the bread in the lunch room. It seems they don’t like so much bread. Voice: Let them eat cake! Miss Romer: Well, here’s another. The Welfare League hopes that there will l� e an attempt at more adequate heating. You remember the sad case of the pupil who froze to death in one of the dressing rooms last year and whose Ixtdy was not found until the spring thaw, too late to do much of anything alxmt it. Mr. Stearns: We’ll adjourn until next month. (Shakes shoulder with sigh of relief, thereby dropping on the floor his scholastic mantle which adds to the general litter.

WHEN THE PIE WAS OPENED —Four and twenty misses found themselves outnumliered almost four to one by the opposite sex of the 4A class. But their quality soon made up f«or their quantity. Their minority doesn’t bother them in the least. You know, a woman always has her own way as well as the last word. And there arc more ways than one of getting what you want. You will remember that during the 3A term Margaret Guarino was the only girl in 41. Did she have fun? She was Mr. Taylor’s jx‘t and also that of thirty Ixjvs. Moreover the girls scorned the Ixivs while working on the 4B Cal aret and justly claim the lioness’ share of the credit for the lieauty and efficiency of that gala event. Of course it has lx-en rather hard on the lx ys. They are obliged, at least fifty of them are. to seek feminine comjjany elsewhere. The lassies admit themselves simply rushed to death and it is a real novelty to see a girl alone in 66 or 50. 49 Fin de Siecle — January 19.3 1 49 THE POET’S CORNER (He doesn't dare come out of it.) POPE I i with morals. I am compiled To lisp a proverb tried and true Xevcr say that I quote it Everyone knows that Pope wrote it. THE RAPE OF THE LOCK I struggle, till brain and reason rock To understand the Rape of the Lock. Gods! I don't care Let her have the darned old hair. HORACE AND LAMB Horace’s father was a slave Lamb's sister would not l ehave If Horace's verbs drive you frantic Take Lamb, he’s not pedantic. WORDSWORTH. 1930 Milton, thou shouldst Ik? living at this hour— That thou might j erchance New York City scour. She dwelt among the untrodden ways,— And there she’ll dwell until she decays. She was a phantom of delight— But in the morning—what a sight! The world is too much with us: hate and soon— But we should care, when there’s a chance to spoon. ODE TO WORDSWORTH (Also 1930) Bill, you would turn in your cold grave, I f you could see how we l ehave. Literature that fills the purse Is not as had as your own verse. (Tis true. I know that mine is worse!) CLASS FEVER (In which Mr. John Masefield records his school days.) I must go down to the class again, to the hateful I .at in or Math And all I ask is a good mark and a teacher free from wrath. And the classs's noise and the prof’s drone, and the windows shaking. And a good look in the right l ook. and an old rule breaking. I must go down to the class again, to the boring English or French It’s an old call and a clear call that lands me on the bench. And all I ask is a clever | al with knowledge abounding. And a scat near, and a sharp ear. and his voice resounding. I must go down to the class again, to the awful final test, To the schools way and the fools way. where the strain’s alike for worst and best. And all I gel is a tricky quiz, that puts me in a state of coma, And wild fright and a fierce fight as I lose my diploma. 50 Fin de S i e cie — January 1931 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIFTY MEMBERS MICHAEL HERMAN FOSCOLO CAFRIO MARIO 1)1 GIOVANNI MARGARET GUAR I NO ARLENE GUEST FLORENCE JENXIXGS MILDRED XEBOSCHKK STUART O'M ALLEY PATRICK PASTORE ARTHUR RACIOPPI MARY REEI) JOSEPH SU(JARMAN ARTHUR WERTHEIM ISA DO RE ZUCKER CLASS i O.

In this way, at least, he parallels us, the leader of one hundred Barringer classes, and as the leader it is for us to set the example for the next hundred. Through the ages leaders have chosen the ways, set the ideals, molded the aspirations of their followers. The Roman centurion was a fighter for his emperor. His first thought was to protect and en- large the empire. There have been other leaders: military, political, religious. We must not forget those pioneers of medicine who risked their lives that the world might be free from dread plagues. We ourselves arc leaders as members of this hundred class. Let us use our leadership well. Let us carry from Barringer, with the mem- ories of our four years here, our school’s standards and ideals. Let it be said of us, They were true Centurions’, not warlike, cruel, harsh, but leaders blazing trails worthy of sons and daughters of Barringer.

As freshmen, we received the usual reception in the Acropolis: Freshmen Latest 1927 Models. Height—Ranging from 2 to 4 feet. Size and shape—All fifty-seven varieties. Uses: 1. To advertise brief cases. 2. To clutter up the corridors. 3. To make the line to the lunch-room longer. 4. To provide cheerful noises in the halls. 5. To patronize the sandwich room and pretzel stands. 6. To prove to outsiders that there arc such things as text books in use at Baarringer.” Our new freshman class has an enrollment of over three hundred members, making one of the largest classes in the history of the school. The size of the freshies makes us wonder as to the source of our future football material. Just as Barringer did well in the Community Chest, so did she do well in the sale of Christmas Seals. The Home Room which sold the most seals was 63, and a 1A room at that. Then there was a long hiatus of many months, covering our second year, during which we remained in obscurity. However, we next ap- peared when we first took form as a real class body: 55 THE CENTURION (Class History, Continued) The 3B class has already organized, with Mr. Stone as adviser. A Constitution has been adopted, and class officers elected. They are: Paul Lemassena, president; Eleanor Casebolt, vice-president; Virginia Carrington, treasurer; Turner Varcoe, secretary.” Then as we began to get our stride, plans loomed up for amassing our necessary fortune. Everyone knows that the 3A class was exceptionally active last term. This term, bigger and more spectacular projects are in store. Officers will soon be chosen, and then, just wait!” The 3A Class has elected officers for this term, namely: Sidney Rubino, president; Beverly Cook, vice-president; Frank Ritger, trea- surer; and Marguerite Bismarck, secretary. The class will swing into full action; great things are promised from our present Junior A’s.” Mr. Dann (Faculty Foibles) is extremely proud of his loquacious home-room, 91, which will soon have the titular honors for noise. (81 is graduating).” And now, the best, fullest, richest, most enjoyed year of them all; we arc now the high, mighty, and very dignified seniors: The 4B Class is planning many surprises for this term. However, only two of these are to be revealed here. The first is a new Barringer pin, for the IB’s and up to and including the 4A’s. This is expected to go over big, so be sure you save your pennies to buy one. The second surprise is Shakespeare’s Macbeth, to be given in our auditorium some time in October, by a professional company. It will be a big chance for all of us. Let us hope that the rest of their plans are as good as these two.” The 4B Class sponsored a Shakespearian play Thursday afternoon, October 9. It was a huge success, and we are sure every one enjoyed it. The new Barringer pins are expected to be on sale shortly. Be up to the minute. Buy one and wear it. The following officers have been elected for this term: Sidney Rubinow, president; Ruth Cramer, vice- president; Florence Groves, secretary; Frank Ritger, treasurer. The 4B’s have been busy making plans for the current theater party held at Mindlin’s Playhouse this week. Barringer and East Orange night, one of the big features of the week, is being held Friday. There is going to be cheering, and everything else that goes to make up a good time. A word to the wise is sufficient. The new B. H. S. pins and charms have been selling well. If you haven’t bought yours yet, buy one today. Arrangements are now under way for the 4B-4A reception. 56 THE CENTURION (Class History, Continued) 4B-4A Reception According to custom, the 4B Class entertained the 4A Class at a reception, in honor of their graduation. Refreshments were served by the girls of the 4B class. There was dancing in the gym, decorated with balloons in our school colors. The music was furnished by Anthony Ruccia and his “Knights of Melody.’ The members of the faculty and officers of the 3B and 3A classes were invited. “Have you by any chance happened by room 5 5 lately? Don’t worry, if you have, you won’t have to think. It certainly lives up to its name of being the noisiest class since our seniors have left us. (Former 91-ders).” And now, the finished product: “The 4A class is now set for their last and most enjoyable and eventful term. They have elected the following officers: Sidney Ru- binow, president; Ruth Cramer, vice-president; Florence Kaufcr, secre- tary; and Stanley Sweatt, treasurer. “One of their first plans to add to their treasury is to renew the Barringer pin sale, which has proven a great success. Then, you all know that our 4A class gives weekly dances on Friday at 2:30, in the gym. So just dance the close of the wcek away. We just know, too, that everyone is looking forward to the Senior Acropolis. The Senior Board has already been chosen and is well on its way to make this book the best (?) issued in Barringer. Pro tn A n non nee men What-ho—What-most decidedly ho. It has come to our attention that the 4A’s have planned a big blow-out, for May 16th. Much con- sideration was expended before this date was selected. Temperature, day of week, etc., were all gone over. It was decided June would be too warm, so the merry month of May was chosen. “Then, having settled the date, the committee, one of the finest collections of talent ever assembled in Barringer, turned its attention to a place, and seeing a fine building on East Park Street, decided to hold the dance there, but was frustrated by the fact that the Fireman’s Insurance Company would not rent their building, so the one down the block was taken. It is not so tall, it is true, but we hope the New- ark Athletic Club will prove adequate. “The bids will be out soon, so get yours from any member of the 4A class for the Senior Prom, May 16, at the Athletic Club, N. A. C. orchestra. Last but not least, the tax is three dollars. “Don’t forget—I’ll see you all there. 57 THE CENTURION ________ Coy I Howland Photographs ey.

John Hardham Mary White O be elected to the National Honor Society is one of the greatest j X honors which a student may receive while at Barringer. The National Honor Society has been well defined, in short, as a junior Phi Beta Kappa. Students are chosen from the first third of the three highest classes. The membership includes fifteen per cent of the 4A s, ten per cent of the 4B’s, and five per cent of the 3A s. Good marks alone do not entitle a student to membership. The letters on the emblem of the Society stand for the four requirements which make up a pupil’s eligibility—-Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. The Barringer Chapter of the National Honor Society was organ- ized in 1929, and since then it has carried on in a worthy manner. As part of its meetings, there are discussions concerning problems of the school in general; it manages the information desk at the main entrance, and gives other helpful service to the school. As long as Barringer keeps producing its present grade of students, the Honor Society will flourish. 59 THE CENTURION LE CERCLE FRANCAIS President Jerome Kalin Vice-President An dree Bel verge Secretary Lucille Tanenbaum 0 J ITH Mme. Carlcu as the capable advisor, our French Circle ias Proven onc t lc ma n attractions of the school's many O 0 activities. The Circle was organized primarily not to enable students to order Bordeaux Rouge in Paris, but to create, for those who are interested, an opportunity to speak and to hear spoken this fascinating romance language. For those who have tastes for lighter things, programs of delightful and original character are arranged. Among the attractions offered for this semester was an awe-inspir- ing presentation of the last sorrowful hours of Jeanne D’Arc by the gifted actress Mile. Lola Lopez. So realistic was her acting that she inspired a feeling of reverence in the hearts of her listeners. Another worth-while entertainment presented this semester was the dramatization of part of the well-known Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, starring students of unquestionable ability. The French Club has always produced programs of such high standard that one should have no fear of investing in it and we are sure that greater things are yet to be done. 60 THE CENTURION THE GERMAN CLUB President Sydney Levitt Vice-President Betty Dolins Secretary Evelyn Cohen Treasurer Charles Schwahl HE German Club, otherwise known to its members as the j I Deutche Verein”, is one of the largest and oldest club:. It was organized for the purpose of creating a native atmosphere for the students of the language. The officers are elected at the end of each term by the old members. At the first meeting of the next term the newly-elected officers are installed and prospective members are welcomed. Miss Wehauscn has willingly accepted the advisorship of the Ger- man Club vacantcd by Miss Miriam Smith. Among its varied activi- ties, the two high-spots of the season are the annual Christmas Festival and the Spring Picnic. In addition to these, they show characteristic German films and participate in the games of the homeland. Last year the club was given the privilege of visiting a German sea-going liner, then they turned out to see an all-talking picture in the German language. In being prosperously educational and recreational, the German Club has been successful as no other club in Barringer has, and promises to continue so. 61 THE CENTURION ITALIAN CLUB Consul Pro-Consul Tribune Quaestor Historian Uctors Joseph Rubino Agnes DePhillips CoNGETTA StEFFA NELLI John Donofrio Rose Cardinale Michael Gialanella Michael Rubino Manlio Polci HP Italian Club is one of the most important clubs of the school, due to the splendid co-operation of its many members. Its officers have titles similar to those of the magistrates of ancient Rome. Every Christmas they visit the St. John’s Orphanage and play Santa Claus. Mr. Haulenbeek gave a very interesting talk on Ancient Rome”. The club also had the great privilege of listening to Dr. Simeone, Vice Consul from Italy, whose subject was the Origin of the Italian Lan- guage.” Because of its exclusive membership (no one can belong who has not completed at least one year of Italian) and its competent advisor, Mr. V. Sibilia, the club is gaining a place of major importance. 62 THE CENTURION THE LATIN CLUB Consuls Praetors Censor Quaestor Scriba (Sidney Levitt (Doris Schiffenhaus (Ruth Epstein (Herbert Goldhor Vivian Hildebrand Jack Connell Bessie Freeman HE Populus Romanus, reorganized two years ago, has flourished j £ for the last several terms with Mr. Raymond Haulcnbeek as C-X its capable advisor. The members of the club are divided into two classes. Patricians and Plebeians—the Seniors being the Patricians, and the Plebeians, the lower classmen. The officers are named after the officials of ancient Rome, with two consuls, one of whom must be a plebeian, acting as presidents, a quaestor, the treasurer and a scriba the secretary. The advisor has the office of tribune and has the privilege of vetoing. In memory of the two thousandth anniversary of Virgil’s birth the “Populus Romanus” presented a shelf of books about The Master of Latin Prosody to the school library. This is only one of the many instances wherein this club has proven its usefulness and will continue to do so in the promising future. 63 THE CENTURION THE Hl-Y President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Richard Cole Theodore Baily Walter Howland Sherman McGovern HE Hi-Y is composed of the most representative of Barringer v- £ boys. The membership, usually about twenty-five, is by invi- C-X tation of those who already are members. Most of the mem- bers are in the third and fourth years. The meetings of the Hi-Y arc held each Monday evening from October to May at the Y. M. C. A. Its purpose is to develop Christian character, to promote the best interests of the school, and to help bring out the finest ideals in Barringer boys who are members. The Hi-Y fosters good fellowship and an intimate study of its group of boys and their problems. The discussions of the meetings revolve around topics selected by the members. Many of the boys who are members are those who aid in different ways the management of the school, such as corridor patrol. This club ranks among the foremost of the school. 64 THE CENTURION SCIENCE CLUB President Marshall King Vice-President Elsie Matheke Secretary Ruth Cramer HE Science Club was organized in 1912 due to the realization j I chat there were so many topics of scientific interest which Cx could not be discussed in class. It is the successor to the Agassiz Society” of the old Newark High School. The meetings, which are held monthly, bring the members into direct contact with the scientific world through various demonstrations and lectures. Lectures are given by the students as well as by members of the faculty and outsiders. At the last meeting of last term, Mr. Madison, an East Orange Building Inspector, gave a very interesting talk, Be Square and On the Level.” Another of the well-known men to lecture here was Captain Ranger, a specialist for the R. C. A. in the transmission of pictures by wireless. One of the most recent meetings had as part of its program a very interesting and educational program on liquid air, by Mr. McKay. The club has progressed to a place of major importance among the clubs of Barringer, inspired by the unfailing interest of Mr. Saylor. 65 T HE CENTURIO N THE CHESS CLUB President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Gregory Bardacke Edward McCarthy Lyman Moore Robert Baldwin HE Chess Club, although one of the newest clubs of Barringer, i is showing signs of being the strongest, for it is already the most active. It was organized about one year ago. Its purpose is to teach and play Chess, and to send representative players to engage in competition with other schools. It is a member of the Northern New Jersey High School Chess League. Last season, the Chess Club was quite successful. It defeated, among others, the Eas: Orange team, which was the champion of the Northern New Jersey League, by the close score of 3 to 2. It also sent a representative to play one of the boards against Capablanca, the noted Chess wizard, and this representa- tive tied him. Then, anvone walking past Room 3 during the second fifth period, may hear check” or mate”—the daily meeting of the members. The enrollment numbers at the present time about forty, and new members are added to the list regularly. Growth and fame are casilv to be seen in the future of the Chess Club. r 6 THE CENTURION MAJOR GLADIATORS FRED CARUSO A pair of flashing feet, a ninety-yard run— everything spectacular! That’s Fred Caruso! Undoubtedly one of Barringer’s best all-around athletes, Freddie is the proud possessor of six major letters, four in track and two in football. He made his debut in athletics in 1927, when he won his track letter as a junior sprinter. The next sea- son Fred was ineligible, but he made up for lost time in 1929. During that season he broke seven records and accounted for seventy points, a re- markable achievement. He made his best show- ing in the South Side Meet, in which he won the the meritorious trophy by winning his three favorite events and break- ing the record in each one. 1930 found Freddie again one of the lead- ing trackmen in the state. He ran on the State Championship relay team and proved himself the best of the low-hurdlers. He also took a second in the National Meet. The current season finds him still a star and a consistent point-scorer. A brilliant performer, Fred has often been called the ’‘one-man track team.” Between track seasons. Fred turned his path toward the gridiron. Although he went out for football in 1928, it was not until the follow- ing year that he received a letter. The past two seasons he has played sensationally, winning game after game by his speed and elusiveness. Who can forget his end runs and run-backs of punts? Or who cannot recall the South Side and East Orange games two years ago when Fred- die dashed the length of the field for a touchdown? As a token of Bar- ringer’s appreciation he has, besides six letters, two wreath emblems, a gold football, and a gold track shoe. JOHN KASHKEVICH Johnny came to Barringer from East Side in September 1930. Thus his athletic career in a Big Blue uniform is a short but brilliant one. He had little trouble making the swimming team and was elected captain by his teammates. In the first me:t of the season Kashkevich proved his worth by breaking the state record for the 40 yard backstroke event. In the following dual meets he consistently was a double winner and tasted de- feat only once. John broke the records for the 40 yard backstroke and 200 yard freestyle events with monotonous regularity. In a meet with Asbury Park he won the backstroke event and was clocked in 22 3-3 68 THE CENTURION seconds, equalling the world’s A. A. U. record. In February Johnny traveled to Pennsylvania where he easily won a national title. A month later he went to Rhode Island and won the New England backstroke championship, slashing three seconds from the previous record which he held. He followed with major triumphs at Rutgers and Syracuse Universities. However, the strain of competition and traveling told on him and the day before the city meet found John sick in bed. But he managed to pull through in record-breaking time. He terminated his illustrious career by winning the Junior National backstroke title and lowering the national record. During the season over 150 points were chalked up by Johnny, who has been awarded a wreath letter. His achievements will not be surpassed in Barringer for some time to come. PAUL LEMASSENA Paul first donned a football suit in 1928. That year he played on the second team. In ’29 he found a varsity backfield berth awaiting him. 1930 saw Lemassena one of the stars of the team, because of his speed and defensive power. Due to his deadly tackling, Paul’s name was never out of the line-up. To prove his gridiron prowess he has two emblems and a gold football. He also tried his hand at track and would have starred, had it not been for illness. However, he was awarded a second team letter for his faithful training. His graduation leaves a hole in the football team which will be hard to fill. LOUIS BERRY The hot corner man.” Lou, in spite of his small stature, is a two-letter man. He was un- able to go out for baseball in ’28 due to doctor’s orders, but he did not give up hope. In 1929 Lou easily made the varsity, playing at second base. After a hard season, he made his letter. In ’30 he tried out at third, gained the position, and held it for the entire season, playing a stellar role and figuring in many a double play. In the present season we find Lou at the same position, the hot corner”, playing the same snappy brand of ball. Always a great punch in the team, he is bound to receive his third baseball letter at the close of the season. His ability to handle a football also has gained him added glory. He came out for the first time in 1929 and took advantage of every angle of the game so that in ’30 he found a varsity position awaiting him. Lou played 69 THE CENTURION every position in the backfield, before Coach Pritchard found him an even better, more finished end. He held this position every remaining game, receiving a gold football in addition to his letter. So another athlete who has participated in various sports passes from the service of his Alma Mater. GREGORY BARDACKE Greg, six feet of brawn, started his football career in 1929. He spent that year gaining some knowledge on the second team. But in 30 he came through and earned the coveted B” and a gold football by playing varsity tackle. He did not confine his activities to football alone. He went out for track and earned a second team letter as a field performer. This year he is expected to star and earn his letter. Greg was also a boxer, being one of the organizers of Barringer’s newest sport, a boxing team. EDWARD LEUZARDER Eddie began his athletic career in 1929 when he played on the baseball team as a pitcher. In 30 he came out with renewed confidence and easily made the varsity team, alternating between the outfield and the pitcher’s box. It was on the mound, however, that he showed his best form, being placed on the all-city team as a pitcher. Eddie was now to receive his just awards. With the opening of the 1931 season he was elected captain. And now, as the season begins, he feels that he can bring the team through a successful season. A classy ball-player, we know Eddie will make a name for himself and Barringer. BEVERLY COOK Beverly is a good example of what persever- ance can accomplish. He went out for football in ’27, 28, 29 without very good results. Not discouraged in the least, Bev” came back in 1930 and played a bang-up game at half-back. He received a letter and a gold football the past sea- son. He is another football man who was also on the track team. Coach Salerno made him a capa- ble sprinter and Beverly garnered enough points for a second team letter. 70 THE CENTURION CHARLES SCHWAHL Running is connected with Charlie’s name. For three years he has been a star on the track team. He reported for track as a freshman, but an injury kept him from competition that year. The next season he was developed into a crack sprinter. By running the dashes and relays, Charlie managed to score more than the required number of points. For his splendid showing he was awaid- ed a letter. In 1930 he again was one of the lead- ing dashmen. Among other things he was lead- off man on the city record-holding relay team. The present season finds Charlie well on his way to add to his laurels. In the fall he devoted his time to cross-country. He has run on the varsity for several seasons, finishing among the leaders. A rather eventful career for Charlie and Barringer’s track team will miss him. KEITH AVERY Keith made his debut in Barringer sports in the fall of 1929. He reported for football and played on the second team, receiving a B2.” In ’30 he alternated between the guard and tackle positions. He played in the Fast Orange game and not only received an emblem, but also a gold football. So Keith closes a successful career in athletics. ELDEN HOFFMAN In order that athletic teams may play, other teams must be engaged to play against them. The success of a team is greatly dependent upon the schedule drawn up. For the baseball team this important work was done by Elden Hoffman. In the spring of 29 El” was chosen an assistant manager. For his hard work and untiring efforts he received a B2.” The next year Hoffman was elected manager and earned his letter. 71 THE CENTURION JULIUS KRITZER Jules answered the football call in 1928. As most new men do, he spent his first season learn- ing the fundamentals on the second team. The next year his hopes were dimmed somewhat by ineligibility. Nevertheless, he again came out in 1930 and played in the majority of the games. He acquired a letter playing as left guard. Kriczer also sports a gold football, received for participat- ing in the East Orange game. ABE FRANCIS In 1928 Abe, with true Barringer spirit, came out as a gridiron candidate. He spent that year building up a foundation of football technique. In '29 he earned a B2” by playing on the line. The past season he became a center and was a reliable substitute. For his hard work he was awarded his letter and a gold football. THEODORE BAILY Ted first took an active part in athletics in the spring of 1930 when he reported to the track team. That year he was a member of a record- breaking relay team. However he did not make enough points for a letter. In the fall he went out for cross country in order to keep in shape. The current season he was a star, winning several places in track meets. For his splendid running he will be awarded a major B” in June. 72 THE CENTURION ANTONIO RUCCIA Tony first donned the moleskins in the fall of 1928. He was going great, when he was stopped by sickness. In 29 he was head and shoulders above other candidates for the guard position. Consequently Tony received his letter. 1930 found a varsity position again for him and he starred at his favorite place on the line. He played a great game and blocked many a punt. He was rewarded with a second major letter and a gold football. Tony was also a trackman. He has received three B2 s which he earned by putting the shot and discus. He is an example of that sort of athlete who is rewarded for his strong efforts in the sport to which he is devoted. MINOR GLADIATORS THOMAS MILANO Tommie’s athletic endeavors were concentrated on soccer. He received a B2” in 1927. The next season, due to his height and abil- ity to handle the ball, he was converted into a goal tender and became varsity goalie for 28 and 29, receiving his minor B.” Tommie has also been on the various interclass teams. EMIL BILOTTA In 1928, his first year out, Emil earned a berth on the soccer team. In 29 he again earned his letter by playing right and center half. He was also on the intcrclass team which won the championship. For such laudable work, he is the possessor of two minor letters. 73 THE CENTURION SIDNEY RUBINOW Sid turned his attention to swimming. He came out in 29 and '30. Both years he worked hard and always managed to score enough points tor his minor letter. Besides swimming, he has also been out for baseball. ANGELO SALERNO It was in the fall of ’28 that Angelo first went out for soccer. He received a second team letter for his efforts. In 29 Salerno worked hard and owing to his kicking ability he was placed on the forward wall of the team. During the season he earned a letter and a gold soccer ball. CORD GIRLS MARY BRUZZ1CHES1 Mary is one of our diminutive athletes, but even so she’s one of our best. She earned two B s in the Spring meet last year for a second and third place. In 29 and 30 Brczzy” was out for Basketball and also in the same years she was a gym captain. Mary participated in the May Day Festival. RENETTE CASEBOLT Renette won both her Freshman and Junior cords and in her Junior year became the possessor of a B”. Likewise she was a gym captain during all four years. Renette was captain of the Freshman hockey team in 27 and also played in 28. RUTH CRAMER Ruth has won two gym cords, for her Sophomore and Junior years. She was out for Basketball in 28, 29, 30, for Hockey in 27, 28, 29 and Spcedball also in 29. For participating in the Spring Meet, Ruth received a ‘'Standard B” and was awarded a B” for procuring a perfect mark on an Efficiency test. Last Spring she took part in the May Day Festival. AGNES DE PHILLIPS Agnes is one of our most ambitious athletes. In the Spring of 1930 she earned a Standard B for her excellent gym work. In the same year Agnes took part in the May Day Program. BESSIE FREEMAN Bessie is a good example of persistency in athletes. In 27, 28, and 29 she went out for Hockey and received a place on the team. The Spring of 29 found Poke out for Spcedball. Bess’ has also been a gym captain. FLORENCE GROVES Florence is among the first when it comes to athletics. In 28, 29, and 30, she was a gym captain. She has also excelled in outside sports, especially in Hockey, winning her numerals in 27, and playing on the 74 THE CENTURION varsity in 28, and 29. During these same years Florence played on our Basketball team as a regular. Last year in the Spring Meet she won a Standard B”. Grovsy” also is one of our Senior Cord girls. LUCILLE TANENBAUM Another persistent athlete! Lucii” won a gym cord last year when she was a Junior, and she’s been a captain almost from the begin- ning. She’s a first class Hockey player and has played for three years. In 30 Lucille played on our Junior Basketball team. ANNETTE TISCHIO Well does Tish” deserve the title of our best athlete! Here are just a few of the many things she’s done—Basketball in 28, 29, 30. She was Captain of the Freshman team. In 27 and 28, Annette played Hockey, and in 28 she made the all star” team. The year of ’29 found her out for Specdball—which she plays exceedingly well. Tish” was in the Spring Meets in 28, 29, 30, and won her numerals in 28, 29. When Barringer won the two Pentathalon meets, she won two medals for taking part. Tish” also has secured the highest honor it is possible for a girl to have; she has received a Script B”. THE TENNIS TEAM ITH the return of spring and warm weather the tennis team has started its operations under the direction of Coach Ayres. He foresees a good season with the reporting of Brown, Fen- wick, and Barnham, all lettermen of last year. After several weeks of training in the gymnasium, the squad of about fifteen boys began practice in Branch Brook Park. Mr. Saylor, the faculty adviser, has planned a ten game schedule, including matches with Atlantic City, Blair, and Montclair. Although the season has not yet begun when this is being written, we know that the team will strive to do its best. THE GOLF TEAM ARRINGER has just put out her second edition of the golf team. Last year the Big Blue golfers, led by George Carr, won the city championship. However, the team was not recognized by the Athletic Association. This year Carr is again the captain and Coach Fields will build up another team around Young, Colavito, Rossi, Pcreca, and Lacselli. Matches have been arranged with the local high schools. East Orange, Caldwell, and Newark Academy. The home course will be the Branch Brook links. 75 THE CENTURION THE BASEBALL TEAM (' 7' HE baseball luminaries are slowly rounding into shape under the ± direction of Coach Lew Fields. The season’s outlook is bright, C-X for five lettermen have returned; Parisi, who is a shortstop; Captain Leuzarder, a fine pitcher; Berry, our star third baseman; Don- aldson, and Butterworth. The schedule is a stiff one for such teams as Columbia, East Orange, Irvington, and Morristown, will be encountered. However, with plenty of newcomers to fill in the vacant positions, nothing but a successful season can be expected. The city league has been disorganized because of lack of competi- tion. East Side and Barringer are the only high schools having baseball teams. Therefore the Big Blue balltossers will have to travel in order to play many of their games. Neptune and Asbury Park will probably furnish the distant opposition. It is the annual custom to play Blair Academy, so the season will be finished with a trip to Blairstown. 76 THE CENTURION v M THE TRACK TEAM ARRINGER may be proud of its track team. It has always upheld Barringer’s name and spread her fame tar and wide. Our Big Blue runners have always made enviable records and Coach Victor Salerno is to be congratulated for his fine work. The team made a fair showing during the past indoor season. Led by Cap- tain George Cohn, who was assisted by Jack Hall, Mike Gialanclla, Ray Gornitsky, and many others, the squad always finished a close second or third in everv meet. At the first spring practice a large group of veterans and novices reported for training. Prospects for the outdoor season have been brightened by the return of Hall, Cohn, Gialanclla, Caruso, Gornitsky, Lemassena. Schwahl, Petrangelo, Cole, Baily, Shanks, Collins, Goldstein, Albanese, Taggart, and Bardacke. All are working hard in order to bring the fifth consecutive City Championship to Barringer. Other meets in which the team will compete are the Penn Relays, Columbia Meet, and the State Mc t. Every indication points to another success- ful season. 77 THE CENTURION THE SWIMMING TEAM HE Barringer mermen have just completed a highly successful vj $ season. The team finished second in the City Meet, well up in the State Meet, and won the majority of the dual meets. Coach Payton certainly should be praised for his splendid coaching. Captain John Kashkevich, the outstanding swimmer in the state, gathered over one hundred and fifty points and many medals. Eddie Minion was another star. Others who performed well were Finger, Marcus, Halligan, Fischer, Feind, Adams, and Cann. Several of the boys will receive major letters because of a new A. A. rule, which requires that a swimmer gain twenty points for a block B”. More things ur never expect to see: Mary White and Marguerite Bismarck playing hookie”. F. Crecca coming to school very early. G. Bardacke doing the ‘'stumble”. Ted Baily working hard in Chem. lab. Mr. Pritchard chewing gum. Mr. Taylor yelling in the auditorium at noon. H. Duncan flattering someone. T. Varcoe getting a zero. J. Denny with an intelligent expression on his face.
