BARRINGER HIGH SCHOOL NEWARK, NEW JERSEY No matter how scientific and corfiplejcour world may hgcorhe. the future will always be a mystery, an unknown. The past can be recalled, the present enjoyed, but the future must remain in speculation. What man. what machine, can predict whether the years to come will bring peace or war. progress or destruction, happiness or sadness? We can only dream about the year 2006. a mere fifty years from now. As long as we're going to dream, let's dream big. Let's let our imaginations run wild and picture a new. bigger and better world, a world in which we successfully solve some of the problems our teachers have so repeatedly held up before us. problems demanding more tolerant, more -skated, more community minded graduate students. And so, it is to this future tKaTwe-dedicat e our yearbook. FACULTY SENIORS FEATURES SPORTS ACTIVITIES (Hr. Ephraim Eisenberg VICE PRINCIPAL An orchard in full bloom in May is breath-takingly beautiful; an orchard in October with branches heavy, laden with ripe fruit is no less glorious. Spring and Autumn. Promise and Fulfillment. Hope and Realization. Youth and Muturity ... it is hard to say which of each pair is the more admirable. You are still in the full springtide of your lives with fond hopes and golden dreams of a satisfying future. So far. so good. When the farmer, with swelling hopes for a fine harvest, secs his blossoming orchard, he knows that hopes alone are not enough. He has work to do. He must fertilize the ground: he must spray against destructive insects or diseases; he may have to irrigate during prolonged drought. So also must you labor to build firmer foundations for your castles in the air. We who have watched and guided you during your years at Barringer have tried to help you to acquire the knowledge, the habits of work, and the self-discipline necessary to insure the fulfillment of yojr hopes. May you make such good use of your youth that in your mature years you can say with us the words of Browning: Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. The last of life, for which the first was made. Dr. Roger B. Saylor PRINCIPAL Greater scientific achievements have been made in the first half of this century than were made in all the years before. Our standards of living have increased with every passing year. We have so many more things and conveniences. The world has become smaller because of our modern transportation and communication systems. Not one of us can predict today the wonders and achievements of the future. We are certain that greater things are in store for those who follow us. The future will be wonderful if each of us uses the God given blessings we have received. We must use them not in selfish ways but for the peace and the happiness of everyone in the world. ADVISERS MRS. KAPPSTATTER Class Adviser Homeroom Teacher MR. PALIN Yearbook Adviser MR.

Finally the doors opened and they got to view their new ■home . They were led into a room that they imagined to be the storeroom for large economy size poles, but was in reality, the auditorium. They met a man they soon came to love. Roger B. Saylor, alias Doc., alias. Santa Claus. Next they were separated into three groups and led to HR's 69. 56. and 92. Right from the very beginning this new group was different; they broke all rules concerning the traditional way for freshmen to act. They weren’t fooled by the pink elevator, the swimming pool on the roof, or the fourth floor cafeteria. No sir. these kids were too smart! But how were they to know one doesn't study in the Cathedral? Yes. smart, and they proved it by getting right down to work, and when the first report cards came out. we had so many on the Super Honor Roll that the Acropolis had to cut short their editorial to make room for all our names. You can't hardly get them no more. Also, we were different. In May. when water pistol season began, we again defied rules, and shot back at the seniors! Many seniors were heard commenting on the new fresh freshmen. Summer came, summer went, and we returned as Educated Freshmen, such advancement!!! But soon. January, and we became sophomores. All of a sudden we found our class larger. Most of the new additions came from Webster Jr. High, including our class clown. Frank Del Cercdo. We took over the clubs and became trip crazy. There were trips to the various museums, to the Paper Mill Playhouse, to Philadelphia, and to anywhere else we could talk a teacher into taking us. Arsenic and Old Lace, was presented and Johnny Armeno stole the show. We started attending school dances, football games, basketball games, and other social functions. The class broke into groups and club jackets were the style, but still in school, we worked together as one crazy bunch. Sur-r-re we did. We met the science of Biology, and learned that . . . Donna is very much afraid of birds. Latin was getting tougher, but we were consoled by the fact that Mrs. Carleu felt sorry for us. Because we were kept busy by homework, clubwork, visits to the Blue, and the opposite sex. January came quickly. This meant that we were at long last . . . juniors. Mr. Lerner's Physics classes were the greatest even though they upset our egoes. We learned not to touch strange apparatus in Lerner’s toyshop, didn't we Joe? In Geometry class we learned that there was a second kind of square . In April we saw many girls walking around with an early case of old age. At least that's what we thought it was. Actually though, they were just stiff from cheering practice, but Virginia. Mattie. Carlene. and Donna didn't mind because they made the squad. Lola made twirling and we were all set when September came, and football season arrived. Sparno. Lupo. Del Vescovo. Curto and Stango led our team to a good season. The rooters in the stand were seen wearing Bermuda shorts, knee socks, and white bucks. Next, came the big event that certainly made us different, if nothing else did. Led by Marie DeRogatis we campaigned to organize in our third year. Finally, after continually being approached. Dr. Saylor gave us his stamp of approval, and we were the first to break tradition in many years. We held class elections with these results. Jimmy Quinlan, president; Jimmy Voglino, vice president; Laura Pernicone. secretary; and the girls we learned to beware. Carol O'Donnell. Connie Martino, and Eleanor Romano, official money-hoarders. With Mr. Thomas as our adviser we tried something new in the way of a dance. We staged an informal affair, equipped with refreshments and a door prize, called the Doodle-le-Boop. We all wore crazy-mixed-up hats to advertise the event. It was a howling success, and we made oodles and oodles of money. Our yearbook elections were held, and Bobby. Donna. Phyllis. Carol. Katherine, and Frank, were victorious. (They didn't know what they were in for ) Then on January 28. 1955 (A date to remember), only 18 days late, our coveted rings arrived, that is all except Arlene's and Gene's. Report card time came again, this time with fewer on the Honor Roll, and with them came the cherished title, senior. Ah. what fun' In these days everything seemed to come out funny. (Except the departure of Mr. Thomas. Mrs. Kappstatter consented to be our class adviser, much to f V AO our approval.) Lunch period was worst of all. We went to the following class in stitches, remembering Frank's antics, and Petrone's arguments. In Mr. Buhrman's Chem class, our marks weren't very funny, but his jokes were. At this time the Ambition Club was formed, with Richie Marasco as president. To become a member of this group you had to answer such $64,000 dollar questions as. what is a test-tube holder used for? and what comes out of a water faucet? Carmela must have found some time for serious talk, because she became engaged. Everyone who decided that they spent too much time in class, tried out for Miss Gray’s play. Mother Was A Freshman. We went to see it (we had to sell tickets and found ourselves the only customers) and caught Frank, cast as a great lover. Petrone. foreverafter famous for his on-his-knees scene, and Pat. a natural born actress. Barringer ranked first in the Senior and Junior Divisions at the City Track Meet, with Jack Horn and John Toler starring. Tom Jackson. Anthony George, and Richie Curto were our baseball stars. Donna and Carlene were chosen to captain the cheerleaders, and Phyllis. Connie. Angel, and Carol were added to the squad. Laura placed on the twirling squad. The National Honor Society pegged its members, but they had a tough time selecting only a few from the many who were eligible. We sponsored another dance, the Carousel. It was a big success, and if we do say so ourselves; the decorations were pretty cute. (You won't find pictures of them in this book, because . . . somebody goofed. Who will ever forg?t the unofficial class outing? How did you like your 8 o’clock appointment with Dr. Saylor every morning until the end of the term? And. by the way. who paid the thirteen dollar traffic tickets? For our official class outing we went to Bear Mountain and had a wonderful time. We learned who our swimming stars were, and Merk. how was the horseback riding? We came home tired and sunburned, but many of us made it to the graduation that night to see friends walk their Last Mile. We had lumps in our throats, because we knew that soon we too would have to leave Barringer. Summer was here, and so were jobs for many of us. (Got to pay those class dues!) To Arlene it meant one thing . . . draw . . . draw . . . and keep drawing. We came back to school as the big deals, the 4A's. What a busy term' 4A s . . . Who could believe it? We could after the work began to pile up! Donna was still slaving to turn out the first page of the Acropolis while we were trying to convince Eleanor to come to Joyce's party as a washwoman. Soon we could all be seen at the football games cheering for Jerry. Jack. Timmy. Anthony, and Ray. Our team fought hard, and for the first time in ten years we were City Champs! We tied East Side, but were victorious over the other city teams. On Thanksgiving day we out-played East Orange, but we lost 13-21, in the most exciting game of the season. Remember the poster party and the hat party for our 4A dance? It was fun—not saying how much work was done. Then came the night of the Stardust Swing. It was a financial success and you can really say it ended with a bang. In these days you could say. I’ll give you a penny for your thoughts. and we would take it. We were just plain broke, after paying for dance tickets, class dues, yearbook ads. and all the books we lost in our somewhat messy lockers (Excluding Blaney's ... of course). With the popularity poll we found out . . . who had money to bribe people with. Wc refused to mention the 4A-4B basketball game on the grounds that it might tend to incriminate u;. The announcements of Top Ten and new National Honor Society members were just too much. Such pressure we said; such fun we admitted The yearbook staff lived in utter confusion . . . but on the two hundred and first deadline, made it to press. Christmas came and passed before we took a second breath. Award Assembly . . . honor to whom honor is due ( I should have worked a little harder. ) It's almost over now! We waited four long, yet very short, years for this night . . . Graduation! As our diplomas were given out a picture passed before our eyes ... a complex picture composed of classroom scenes, social events, sports contests, the gang, our teachers, and across this picture these words were written: Newark High, thy fame wc raise. Many voices blending Through the years wc pledge the praise. Loyal to life’s ending.

Pat Galasso. who takes great pride in playing his trumpet, is the leader. The Blue Jackets can be heard and seen at the school dances and sometimes during the intermissions of the plays conducted by the English Department. Parents as well as students will recall their fine performances at the Concerts held in our school assembly. The experience and knowledge gained by these boys and girls from their playing and the help of Mr. Greenfield, head of the instrumental division, they will always be grateful for. TOM DiGENNARO Tom showed excellent musical ability at all the Blue Jacket performances. His sax will bo hard to replace. are something PAT GALASSO Pat. our leader, will be missed for his remarkable trumpet playing and his showmanship. He was a popular figure at the dance and stage shows. tAURA PERNICONE Laura did a wonderful job at the dances and stage shows. Her fine piano playing will leave a permanent melody. 53 Nimt Virginia Addeo Phyllis Affhfto Marilyn Agostino _ Carmela Alfano Vincent Amatucci Joyce Anastasia Nickname -Ginny______ ---Phyl_________ ---Mae Carrmo .Tucci__ Joy - Where Found .Tower ___________ Blue or llaria’s-- . liana' or Blue — Riding around Cran and High Street ________Talking on the telephone Pet Peeve Back eat driver --------- .Boy's who can't dance .Conceit _A certain Phy� lc� teacher .Teacher --------- -A care with a wit Gene Joan Mane Beauchamp Joanme In a I9SS Plymouth Trying to be what you ain't” James Blancy Jim Television station .... .... . .Committeos . ...

Before this year's game the record showed 26 wins for each school and 6 ties. This year we outplayed and out-rushed E. O. but were defeated by costly mistakes. As one Newark newspaper put it, Although the victory went to E. O. the glory belongs to the gallant Blue. The symbol of this fifty-nine year rivalry is the Old Guard Trophy which was dedicated to the memory of Royal A. Grosen-baugh of East Orange and the immortal Pop Stearns of 3arringor. It was presented by the Old Guard on Thanksgiving Day of 1943. The winner of the Turkey Day Game maintains possession of the trophy until it is defeated by the other team. The Old Guard” organization, founded in 1922, is composed of people who are connected in any way with the Barringer-East Orange game of twenty-five or more years ago. Each Thanksgiving Eve this organization present an anniversary dinner and honors the new Silver Anniversary teams from the two High Schools. 65 Mc ncomo StKood R Z ' r . 52v,‘,n,aVSopra z,• DcTrolio.

Spring — when a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of — Girls? No! Baseball! Well there have been better years, still there have been worse. Barringer High, after starting the season with a brilliant 9-2 record, ended rather disappointingly. Maybe it was stiff competition, or bad luck, or as our coach said, the team was in a batting slump. Whatever it was. the Barringer nine dropped the next eight and ended the season with a smashing victory over South Side. With the able assistance of the right hander. Tom Jackson, who also made the All City Team; Barringer placed fourth in the City League with a 10 and 10 record. Tom Jackson. Anthony George, and Richie Curto represented our class on the baseball diamond.

Libero Sibilia CLASS ADVISER The June Class of 1956 proudly dedicates its Yearbook to Mr. V. Libero Sibilia. class adviser, who has concluded 34 years of teaching this term. Mr. Sibilia dedicated his life to the youth of Barringer. His respect for the dignity of the individual, his love of freedom and of America, his pride in his native heritage, his kind and human understanding, and his agile mind, his insatiable thirst for knowledge, and his ethusiasm for living a full life were all contagiously inspiring to his students and associates. He is wise who can instruct us and assist us in the business of daily virtuous living.” Carlyle. !z;0 Ht o -'UrTiu f?' mm wm igWClVV: Administration Dr. Rog er B. Sayl or PRINCIPAL The champion in the Olympic contests received only a laurel wreath as his prize. The honor of victory far outweighed the prize. Life is often like the old Olympics. The satisfaction of a job well done often brings more joy and happiness to us than the prizes we receive May each of you value greatly the satisfaction which will be yours if you live a life of service, achieve to the best of your ability and have a character which is beyond reproach. Mr. Epliraim Eisenberg VICE PRINCIPAL The Olympiad was a four-year period at the end of which the ancient Greeks celebrated a religious festival. All wars ceased, and the people cultivated the arts of peace, and of physical, mental, and spiritual development. A modern high school graduation is also the climax of a four-year period of preparation. Inspired by the wisdom of the ancients as you celebrate this joyous occasion, may you determine to continue your pursuit of the perfection of body, mind, and soul devoted to your own peace and to the peace of the world. In this high endeavor, I wish you God-speed. ( 6 acu Mr. V. S. Alba no. B.S. Mr. A. ArQand. M A Mu B S 810 00 v Muik: Miss E. Dcaring. M.A. Miss F. pci Gucrcio.

GAGUANO — Little Lou, overshadowed because of hit size most of his Varsity career, came into his own against Last Side when he pitched our team to a title berth against the •'Iron Dukes. GARAFALO — Carl, defensive back, excelled all year; many an opponent remembers his crashing tackles. DOMINIC — Bob. although he was only played cn defense, became the backbone of our secondary defense at safety and stopped many an opponent from crossing the last white stripe. — Darps was our often-j Gun. Mis ability for ouf yardage won many a game for us. T lie Sum of It! 1955 Scoreboard CITY CHAMPS Our boys, out-manned all season by bigger and stronger teams, demonstrated a clean type of guts football which hadn't been seen on the Newark Gridiron in many a season. This was clearly shown in our contest with the State Contenders. Plainfield and East Orange, and with the eventual State Champions. Memorial of West New York. In the very well-balanced City League, however, we demonstrated our ability to come from behind, and win the highly coveted City League Crown. 1955 marked the first year Barringer has ever won the Good Sportsmanship Award. This honor goes to Mr. Naporano. his staff, and Dr. Saylor, each of whom have been striving for many years to cultivate clean play and good sportsmanship in Barringer athletics. Entering this 59 year-old classis as two touchdown favorites. East Orange was surprised by the Big Blue s spirited and heart-warming performance. Although we lost 21-13. the boys from Ridge Street outplayed the Panthers in every conceivable department except the final score. Costly mistakes proved to be the downfall of the fighting Blue eleven, and although the victory went to East Orange, the glory belongs to this gallant Blue team, which gave the fans on both sides something to remember for years to come. Father and Son Association Barringer's newly founded Father and Son Association, the only one of its kind in the city, was organized by the fathers of four of our Varsity football players. Galdo. Lupo, De Pola, and Gagliano. Its goal is to improve Barringer athletics and recreational facilities. After starting as a small organization, it has blossomed into one of the largest and most influential community associations. MR. M. LOMBARDI. Head Coach Soco.?5 ow-‘ M„„, Jack von. Kunze. h].

Their main fault this season was not their own. but was due to their size and speed. It was not that they were small and slow, it was just that the other teams were taller and faster. THOMAS — Another steady and dependable ball-hawk. Bobby demonstrated fine all-around play. NAGT—Jerry, our testing forward. played good steady ball although he was the victim of a crippling ankle injury at the end of the season. GAITER—Our rebound specialist at center, Wilfred led the team with his dassling play and scoring ability.

Tlfe team, captained by Johnson, was capably aided by Gerald Cetrulo Jr.. Larry Mano-chio. Keith Picuri. and Steve Cetrulo.
