This past school year has been a happy and interesting one. We have continued the old traditions in scholarship and playg we have added a beautiful building to our schoolg we have seen a further expansion in extra-curricular groups. Through the years, school has become more and more important to us, and this last year has been the most enjoyable of all because of the friendships we have made and the consideration and loyalty of our teachers. We offer this, our MONAD, hoping it will help recapture a little of the spirit that has pervaded all we have done. T 9 b S l3l+1l3lCA'l'lON 'lb Nr.

During the first year they sponsored no affairs and elected no ofiicers. The commercial students were separated from the rest of the Freshman Class and went to Number Eight School. In their Sophomore year the commercial students joined the rest of the class at the High School, making the class more unified. Their first social venture, of which happy memories still linger, was the Sophomore Hop. This affair was made a great success under the capable leadership of Miss Regina Brennan and a crew of active workers. As grown-up and dignified Iuniors they organized their class. They selected Frank Carragher as president, Emmet Ryder as vice-president, Lois Mays as secre- tary, and Leonard Aiello as treasurer. Miss Linnea Andree and Mr. Charles W. Lewis were the class advisers. The junior year was one filled with many activities. They sold feather novelties and hot dogs at football games. They held a movie benefit at the Capitol Theatre. They participated successfully in the sale of maga- zine subscriptions for the purchase of a school motion-picture machine. The Iunior Prom, the most important affair of the year, was held on May zz. From the old gym with brown walls, they made a modernistic ballroom, all decorated in black and silver. Through the marvelous cooperation of the entire class this affair was an outstanding success. The Iunior Prom was an event which will long be remem- bered by those who attended. Then came the time for every good Iunior to reach the stature of a Senior. Early in their Senior year they held elections and elected Frank Carragher for president, Harvey Nielsen for vice-president, Betty Gibson for secretary, and Frank Brown for treasurer. These officers, the class advisers, and the Senate representa- tives, worked hand in hand to hold many successful novelty dances during the school year. Their first social event was the Hallowe'en Dance. At the football games they sold candy and football programs. At Christmas time they used high pressure salesmanship to urge the sale of Christmas cards. The month of February found them working all day-for the new full session had started. Even the Seniors found themselves lost in the new building, although Mr. Kittle had held a special assembly of instruction with plans and diagrams. This was our class. These were our activities. We shall not forget them for long years to come. 47 V5 il' 4 -wut' -gg!!! v M vfi Q -is 14 r. -- M,-ff fx iff' -.. , I X I HW, GW S til tg .xi as .Jvti 1. ,J I 1 M ONAD HISTORY OF THE IUNIOR CLASS Of course, the class of 1938 has always been fortunate in having the f marvelousl personnel of the class of 1937 set up before it as an example. VVhen its numbers entered this great institution of learning, theirs would have been indeed a sorry lot had it not been for the ever-thoughtful, helpful criticism of their elders, the Sophomores then, the Seniors now. In spite of the civilizing infiuence offered by the upper classes, it was thought best by the authorities to segregate the Freshmen. They were placed under mental quarantine and not permitted to associate with the ladies and gentlemen of the upper classes, until such time as they should come to understand that they were Freshmen in High School and not Seniors in grammar school. A year of this, and then they began to develop. By studiously applying them- selves they finally managed to organize. For their first group of officers they elected: Williani Engelman President Adele Conroy Vice-President Leo Culkin Treasurer Katherine McDonald Secretary In spite of the good raw material at hand, the class advisers, Miss Regina Brennan and Mr. Paul Brennan, performed a Herculean task. VVith their aid, the Sophomores held a very entertaining Leap Year Dance. During the floods of 193 5, this class contributed the money set aside for decorations for the Sophomore Hop to the Red Cross. From this period, as they became slowly conscious of the dignity befitting Iuniors, their progress was very, very good. As Iuniors they have been ambitious, resourceful, and energetic. Entering wholly into the spirit of high school life, they have done much to make school more interesting. They have sold candy and pennants. The Iunior Prom in Valencia promised much in entertainment and fulfilled every expectation. This year the class has been under the able guidance of a faculty committee consisting of Mrs. Anne Snedeker, chairman, Miss Oleita Thorne, Mr. Brewster jones, and Mr. William Iunda, with the class officers as follows: Robert Cook President William Engelman Vice-President David Martin Secretary Daniel Wascoe Treasurer And now the time draws near when they will take our place, and we know of no other class to whom we might more confidently entrust the leadership of Belle- ville High School. To you, Seniors of 1938, we say that we are happy to have known you, and, with a touch of regret- so long! an if F f,LLfQff1aQ5 HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS fj,5,af,af W, lf' lf We While yet Freshmen, the class went their way quietly, as all good Freshmen should, and were careful not to interfere with the activities of the upper-classmen. Because they attended school in the afternoons rather than in the mornings, they accomplished little. Their major affair was the annual Christmas Dance. But when they developed into Sophomores they exemplified their graduation by electing as their class officers: -.jon 6,1 Nicholas Zuzzio PM X President Charles F eeney W ice-President Shirley Bitz 'T Secretary jerry Ferrara ' , Treasurer Later, with the aid of their ble advisers, Miss Regina Brennan, Miss Blanche MacDonald, and Mr. George Reinke, they launched th 'ir annual Sophomore Hop, on April 23. The undertaking afforded real enjoyment and entertainment. Continue the good work, Sophomores, and when you finally become Seniors you will have something to show for your four years at Belleville High School. HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS When our new building was completed and the Freshmen started attending school during the same hours as the upper-classmen, they began to get in our hair and under our feet. To start the ball rolling they, of all people, were given almost complete dom- ination of the new school. This was rubbing salt on a raw wound, for naturally we Seniors felt that since we were leaving school this year we were entitled to the best. VVe soon overlooked that, however, since it was no fault of theirs, and decided to treat them kindly. Finally, they got down to business and gave a Christmas dance on December 18. All who attended had an enjoyable evening and the affair was highly successful. Another of their accomplishments to which their guides, Miss Rose Friedman, Miss Thelma Weidman, and Mr. Norman Cotter, may point with pride was the election of these class officers: Herbert 'l'olton President Edith Frey Vice-President Frances Hoover Secretary lean Payne Treasurer 51 .Z I -,aG ,HQ we W XVASIIINCTON TRIP fAs RlCl'OR'l'l'lD BY .xx lfYI'Z-AVl'l'Nl'ISSl April ist, iqgjl 'l'hat long-awaited day when sixty of us left for XVashington. D. C.. had arrived. XVhen the train pulled into the Union Station, we tumbled out and rau into the building, and right on out to the sightseeing buses. Appropriately, the Hrst plaee we visited was the Capitol. Ilere we were intro- duced to the stairs that are distributed so freely throughout the city. 'l'he Senate and llouse of Representatives were interesting, but the XVhispering Room Caused more eomment. Next. the quiet serenity' of the Lincoln Memorial and then an impromptu traek meet along the reflector pool. After a general tour of the city, we arrived at the Cairo llotel for dinner. After dinner, we were taken to the Congressional Library, where we saw an awe-inspiring number of books and a tempting array of banisters. From our return to midnight was free time. We asked the desk to wake us at seven, but that was an unnecessary request for the steam woke us at five. After breakfast, we left to see various buildings. l irst. the l'an-American building where we saw bananas and Chandeliers. Next, the liureau of Printing and Engraving where we were allowed to look at piles and piles of money. At the XVashiugton Monument, the guide advised us not to elimb . I ' e f 33 MONAD but the more ambitious ones did. Then to the Smithsonian Institute where we looked around for twenty minutes. At the conclusion of lunch at the Cairo, we went on to Arlington, with a stop at the Zoological Carden. At the Cemetery we were impressed with the simplicity of the Unknown Soldier's Grave. We visited Mount Vernon next and the picture that is displayed below was taken. The return journey was broken by a visit to the Masonic Temple in Alexandria where we saw a rather unusual picture of the Father of Our Country. In the evening, although for weeks everyone had been vowing that he would not attend a moving picture show on his free night, everyone did. It was nice seeing Annapolis next morning-especially nice to be in front of Dahlgren Hall when dismissal for mess was called, eh, girls? Then all too soon it was time to leave Washington. The trip home was enlivened by an excess of bazookas and cornrnunity singing, not to mention the chicken dinner. After the engineer missed the Elizabeth Station by about a mile the hadn't been with us, eitherj we were packed into buses and taken back to the school, tired, but very happy- 1937 SENIOR ROLL OF HONOR In the activities of the Senior Class this year there has appeared a group of faithful Seniors who have carried the burden of class work willingly and effectively. Feeling that more honor is due to these students than is usually accorded, the members of the faculty in charge of Senior activities have nominated sixty-two members of the class, not otherwise honored as an organized group, for special recognition. 'l'he Monad is proud to establish for them the Senior Roll of Honor.

Curtain! and a sudden hush prevails as the curtain slowly rises on Mrs. Albergone's Antiquity Shop in our presentation of Booth Tarkington's delightful comedy. A l'weedles. For weeks we have worked to perfect our parts, and enjoyed especially the rehearsals during which a favored few practised eating cherry pie or any available cookies. Hut suddenly Fate frowns upon us, and following her partners example, Lady Luck departs when just before the play opens we receive the tragic news that Martha Roddenbery, our hero's cultured mother, is too ill to appear. Consequently we are greatly indebted to Ruth Rader who substituted for Martha and gave a splendid performance. But to return to our lnlarious rehearsals. VV ho will ever forget Lover Ioe's erooning, Emmet's remarkable French, Helen as a New England widow, Miss Reeds marvelous patience, that touching line, there comes a time in every young man's life, and the Cast's theme song, Does Your Ileart Beat for Mc? with special harmony arrangements by Harvey, Ioe, and Emmet? All too soon our rehearsals are ended and Erst night has arrived, accompanied by torrents of rain, a packed house, trembling knees, and clearing of throats. Sud- denly Irene, as our very beautiful widow, bravely rings the bell and the play has begun! Now that the curtain is at last down and the play is all over, we find ourselves reminiscing. VVC wonder what we should have ever done without Miss Reeds skillful direction, Mr. Iones's wonderful advertising, and Miss Kelleher's lovely antiques. One and all we offer our humble thanks, our gratitude, and our fervent hope that you have at last found the answer to that persistent question, Are you a Tweedle? . 58 ..lq'g 'I'XYI l DI FS :rr Booth 'l':1l'ki11,g1rm l 1'icdal IC.

The hnal returns of class elec- tions give huge votes to Elaine Rhodes, Sophie Madler, Frank Carragher, and Harvey Nielsen. Elaine Rhodes was elected most original, peppiest, class clown. noisiest, biggest talker, most en- tertaining, and wittiest. The vote ad- judged Sophie Madler most likely to suc- ceed. one who has done most for the class, most respected, most scholarly, most efficient, most serious, most ambi- tious, most diplomatic twhich she shared with Mildred Biebelbergj, and busiest. Frank Carragher received the honors of most popular, most respected, one who has done most for the class, most diplo- matic, best politician, and busiest. Har- vey Nielsen was elected best conversa- sionalist, one possessing the best person- ality, most interesting, most friendly, pep- piest, best sport by a tie with Chester Davis, best natured, noisiest, and most entertaining. Great interest was shown in the elec- tions. Students carefully debated candi- dates for various honors during any avail- able time, disproving the theory that the public is not interested in elections. From the whole group, only one clique was noticed-the Gas House Gang, whom we suspect as being cohorts of Mr. Brennan. There was only one outsider who gave any serious competition-Lil' Abner. Ma Yokum received a few votes and Daisy Mae, one, but this did not cause appre- ciable consternation.

Although the Fates contrived to cause a disturbance that made history, and the Spirits of the Rain did their ut- most to create vast new oceans, the senior play went on as scheduled. Every seat was filled with students from various schools and a few adults. Student Night, which received its in- troduction this year, proved to be very successful. Tickets for the performance were half-price and the promise of danc- ing afterward helped to draw a number which greatly exceeded the wildest prophecy. The performance is considered by many critics as one of the best in the history of Belleville High School senior plays. The play Tweedles was written by Booth 'Parkington and revolves around Wiiisora, a waitress in her aunt's antique shop in New England, and Julian, a sum- mer vacationist who mistakes his love for Witisora for his love for rare glassware and is finally brought to his right senses by his disgusted father. Winsora was portrayed by Lois Millen and Julian by Joe Gannon. The supporting cast was of unusual excellence. A thrilling touch was added when Martha Rodenberry, who was to portray the hero's mother, became suddenly ill and was absolutely unable to take her place in the performance. Ruth Rader, who understudied the part, substituted immediately and played so well that we in the audience did not even suspect that anything had gone wrong. THE CHRONICLE School Opens With Two-Session Day 1525 REGISTERED Sept. 9. The student body of Belleville High School returned to school today to begin the year 1936-1937 in two-session days. Again the halls were crowded with people trying to find home rooms. Old teachers were greeted aFfectionately and new ones were duly met, investigated, and approved of. The student body, compris- ing 1525, is the largest ever attending B. H. S. In accordance with tradition, the Seniors were dispersed over the top tioor, the juniors on the second, and the Sopho- mores on the first. The Freshmen and part of the Sophomore Class attend school in the afternoon, due to lack of facilities, and they are scattered through- out the school. Short classes were held and the teachers showed that they did not lose their grip during the summer by distributing home work immediately. Of course, students were indignant at this overdoing the thing but their objections were met with the usual cool stare or laugh. However, after the first shock of realizing that work was beginning in earnest passed, students ad- mitted that it was pleasant to be back again and really doing something after a summer of loafing. STUDENTS OBJECT TO REPORT CARDS Apr. 27. A recent study of sentiments regarding the report cards which are pre- sented to the pupil every six weeks shows that these appurtenances could be dis- pensed with without causing any regret. The general objection to them seems to be the fact that they decrease in com- plimentary value as the term advances. During the first marking of these fatal pieces of paper, the teachers condescend- ingly remarked that they were giving us marks twice as high as we deserved from pure generosity. That was the day when we were all in the CCC , if you under- stand us correctly. From then on, our cards have grown more colorful with each application of ink. At the present time, there is some hope felt among students who have evolved the theory that it is impossible to receive lower marks, thus causing a possible in- crease. The surprising part of it is that despite these black days once every marking period, most ot' us manage to graduate. Traffic Problem Throughout School CHAOS ON STAIRS Feb. 10. Growing animosity to up and down stairways has been noted among students. It seems bad enough to have to rush from 307 to 5 without having to blindly push through the milling crowd, desperately seeking a down stairway and escape from the tumult. It is inevitable that the elusive stair- way is always on the other side of the school. grinning in malicious self-satisfac- tion at the chaos it causes in the mind of the struggling student. It has been sug- gested that each student carry with him a map to aid him in extricating himself from the terrifying maze, but this idea was not carried out because the necessity of deciphering such an intricate pathway on the map would probably make blither- ing idiots of us all. The teachers show a heartless cruelty and unconcern for our tribulations. Never for a moment do they waver in their de- termination to turn back everyone who uses the wrong stairway. And then when the student is late to class and in utter despair mutters something about wrong stairways, these same teachers smile cyni- cally and request the student's company after school. The Seniors have the worst fate. We were put on the top floor, which means we have to trudge the weary journey up in the early hours of the morning and then all the way down after a hard day's work. More and more we become con- vinced that Daedalus was a sissy! .- SENIOR WILL DRAWN june 16. As the news spread around that the class of 1937 was dying a large crowd gathered. As in its short life there had been no time to stop at a lawyer's and have a last will and testament drawn up, there was a lawyer at the death-bed to take down the faint and diminishing words of this noted personage. There was much interest shown as the crowd strained to hear the whispering. The lawyer, realizing this. repeated the message to the assembled group. As is always the case, many were disappointed while many were greatly overjoyed at their good fortune in having some of the belongings of so well-loved a relation. As the reading went on the crowd grew more tense and the failing voice more faint until at last the voice faltered and stopped-the will of the Class of 1937 was made. THE CHRONICLE COLLEGE GLEE-ERS THRILL STUDENTS Mar. 5. There-there-and there! And the pretty little rabbit skipped happily and blushingly along! This, dear readers, comes as the climax in the program that the Glee Club and Band of Moravian College presented to us in our assembly today. There was an interlude of quartet sing- ing between the music of the Glee Club and that of the Band. In the Glee Club's repertoire the piece that was received with most favor was The Musketeers. The Band, not to be outdone, featured trombones-featured them in such a way as to make you want more, and more, and more! This crowd also sang for their dinner. For proof of this you can ask any of the bold, bad girls who mobbed them on their day down to the cafeteria to ask them to correspond with them. The only aftermath of this gala occa- sion was the tendency of a few high school students to be pretty little rabbits for several days thereafter. Underclass Events Apr. 9. It isn't the first time we have walked i11to our gymnasium-nor will it be the last-only to find a yacht, barn- yard, garden, or exclusive night club scene. Everything always looks different when Sophomore Hop or junior Prom time comes around. The committee members are seen busily working on the plans for a successful event. We approached many persons in an effort to gain some information concern- ing this year's gymnasium transforma- tions but were silenced by the firm words, Sorry, 1'm busy now-some other time. But even though we reporters have not been able to secure advance details on these gala events, we predict, with assur- ance, that two underclass dances will take place in a gay atmosphere of different decorations which will make them pro- nounced successes. . ,ill- Senior Class Elections Sept. 22. The Senior Class of 1937 of Belleville High School has seen fit to elect ofiicers for the term of their senior- ity, these said officers to form the execu- tive head of the class governing body. They will fulfill such duties as fall unto them in a manner both grave and digni- fied and it is the duty ot every senior to accord his ofiicers due respect and obedi- ence. The worthies elected were Frank Carragher, Presidentg Harvey Nielsen, Vice-Presidentg Betty Gibson, Secretaryg and Frank Brown, Treasurer. LANDON BUTTONS DEPART EN MASSE Nov. 4. The Landon buttons which have been seen in such profusion during the past few weeks made a mysterious mass departure this morning. The faces found behind them which usually wore such confident and condescending ex- pressions were surprisingly sheepish and turned all shades of red on the slightest provocation. Several students have offered the over- whelming re-election of President Frank- lin D. Roosevelt as the solution to this pressing mystery. This explanation has been accepted in most circles. Other interesting results of yesterday's excitement have been noted. Students and teachers were extraordinarily sleepy today after sitting up half the night with the radio. Strange counting and ex- changes of various sums of money or other spoils has been going on. Mr. Coulter wore a new suit and we wonder. There is a general feeling of relief now that the fatal day has gone and classes will be the same again and old friends will resume their pleasant relationships where they were left off at any time dur- ing the vigorous campaign of the past few months. Fire Gongs Go Mad Nov. 20. The usual buzz of second period classes was rudely interrupted by the fire drill gong. Out filed the classes -glad to lose a few minutes of class. Back they came, laggingly. No sooner were they seated than the gong rings again. Wonderingly the school goes out in the cold again. Back in and seated- the gong rings again-out-in-out-in- until they were dizzy and having a grand time. It was finally learned that some- one had forgotten to turn the fire gong off. Impromptu Cheerleading Nov. 25. Would the gentlemen in the back of the room who are making so much noise like to get up here and lead the cheering? Yes, you, Gabrielson and Feltey! Much to the surprise of Mr. Kittle and the students-they would. Up they came. After a few false at- tempts and blushes they started-inde- pendently, however. After a few more tries a weak cheer followed-weak be- cause most of the audience was convulsed with laughter. ' Finally, together, they led a cheer that nearly brought the balcony down. I THE CHRONICLE TEACHER RESTORES SANTA CLAUS FAITH Dec. 23. There is a Santa Claus! We know because we saw him. Mr. Santa Claus honored the students of Belleville High School by making a very unex- pected appearance at morning assembly today. Everyone was sitting quietly awaiting a usual program when Santa popped in. Santa seemed to be in as good health as ever. His corpulcnt Figure still looked like a moving mass of pillows-which it was. Mr. S. Claus made an appropriate speech pertaining to the proper duties of his high otiice and then set about dis- tributing the many presents, real ones, too, which filled his bag so full. Did you see those presents? If you didn't you missed a novel time. And the colors of the recipients' faces-they ranged from dusky pink to vivid red. Only the most dire calamity happened to cut Santa's visit short. One of the bands that supported his traditional suit broke and caused him to leave the plat- form hurriedly with only a trail of pillows behind as evidence that Santa came. - Oh! Mr. Reinke, will you ever live it down? , NEW SCHOOL OPENS Feb. 8. After receiving conflicting ru- mors for several weeks, students have Finally moved into the new section of the school. Directions were given in assem- bly with the aid of diagrams and with a parting word of advice we were sent forth to brave the new danger by Mr. Kittle. The weary students hunting for rooms gave evidence that halls supposedly lead- ing to classes often led into unsuspected nooks. However, the missing rooms were soon found and OHl the expressions of joy! The students were delighted with the new art and science rooms, with the biology laboratory and the beautiful new gymnasium. The return to the one-session schedule has given opportunity for a more de- veloped social life in school and general approval of the new system has been noted. . ., B. H. S. Science Discovery Nov. 16. In the science laboratory of the High School a new and effective cure has been found for that chronic disease, Uoutofthewindow-hangitisf' Mr. Fagan, with his usual ability to cope with any situation which presents itself, has de- vised a novel method of bringing the head and shoulders back to the same at- mosphere with the rest of the torso.

Br-r-r-ing! fThe shrill jangle of a telephone disturbs the serenity of a peaceful hospital. A nurse in white answersj Sunshady Sanatorium. No, madam, our visiting hours are from two to three every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoon. I'm very sorry, madam, but the rules are-XVho? Elaine Rhodes? Oh, I see. Her scrapbook of Nelson Eddy! By all means! Leave it at the desk and Miss Perkins will bring it right up. Oh, you're very welcome. Good-bye. fTurning to a companion nursej Miss Clarkson, that's what Elaine has been begging for these past three days. VVell, it's a relief to know at last what she wanted. Her laryngitis is so bad she can't say a word. Yes, a very serious case. Oh dear, why don't those supplies come? We're in desperate need of them. Do you know that Marcella Ferguson is upsetting all the other patients in room 217 with her oversupply of energy? Only a dose of Amber- scillicodosesis will quiet her down. CMiss Perkins appears and hands two packages to Miss Clarkson who joyfully carries them to the desk.j Here is that precious scrapbook-and, at last, the supplies! Oh fine! Will you help me to check and distribute them, please? Certainly. Here is the pep-diminisher, Miss Rogers. Rush that to room 217 for Marcella. One feather pillow for Ioe Thalheimer. Is he the boy who is suffering from insomnia? Yes, poor fellow. It seems he slept so much in school that now he is unable to sleep at all. This danger sign, Miss Clarkson-place this on the door of room 212. We must warn our young nurses to beware of Iunie Carragher's fascinating line and fetching smile. These combs go to Miss Bette McManus. She's feeling much better this morn- ing, you know. I imagine she just overtaxed her brain trying to create fashion- able outfits to accentuate that sophisticated coiffure of hers. One game of monopoly for Harvey Nielsen. Maybe after he's played this game he'll be able to obtain a monopoly on that charming girl friend of his, Audrey Ural. Are these pictures for Ioe Gannon? Yes, we simply couldn't allow all those young ladies to call on him every day, so they've sent their pictures instead. Look, on this one it says, There comes a time in every young man's life. VVhat do you suppose that means? Oh, that's the line Ioe made famous in the Senior Class Play last winter. An actor? Well, can you imagine! Blank music sheets for Harry White. As his fever rises he composes more and more amonrous love lyrics. That love bug is a dangerous insect but decidedly inspirational, don't you think so, Miss Rogers? Indeed I do. This Moravian college pennant is for Shirley Schellin-in memory of a certain conquest, no doubt, if you can believe what the other patients say. She'll have to show it to her friend Ella Von Ende who, it seems, shared the fun. A miniature Bible for Emmet Ryder. I wonder if he could want this to remind him of the huge family Bible with which he so piously governed the lives of the highly respectable Tweedle family. 66 -1937 Are all these pencils for Eddie Doyle? That must be some book he's writing. How to Become a Good Influence. I believe he's anxious to get it written so his friend Bob Shaughnessy can read it. Do you see these 1937 dog licenses? Well, Mary Iane Walker ordered them to distribute among the other members of the ''Oh-So-Peachy-Woof-Woof-Glub. I heard they puzzled the entire student body and faculty at Belleville High by wearing clog licenses to class. However, they went too far and tried to live on puppy biscuits and that's why they are all here now. I wonder what Peggy Goodrich intends to do with this green ribbon? Perhaps she intends to keep it until Christmas to wear with her hair. It would certainly be in keeping with the color scheme of the season, Miss Rogers. Yes indeed. Is this the medal Marion Flanagan has been waiting for? Yes, obtained by hook or crook, I understand, for selling Monads. Here is a file. Oh yes, Miss Clarkson. The doctors insist on removing that romantic chain bracelet which Bill Heilman has worn on his wrist for such a long time. They won't accept his excuse that he hasn't the key to unlock it. Harold Fairweather will be able to use these passes for the bicycle races soon. He's leaving next week. Wc'll all miss his friendliness, won't we? VVe certainly will. But listen to this, Miss Clarkson-I heard that Iohn Barry- more is coming here tomorrow for a rest cure. See, here's his photograph. The picture is of Iohn Barrymore, but it's for Frank Brown, to inspire an imita- tion of that great lover's subtle technique. I don't believe Frank is coming for a rest cure, however, as I happen to know there's a certain young lady here in whom he's very much interested. The rest cure is merely an excuse. But, of course, you can never be positive- What beautiful dance bids! Rita Bitz and Winnie Fitzsimmons must be anxious to get out of this sanatorium so they can attend these affairs. If they don't leave soon we'll have a dancing school here, because all the convalescents seem to be begging for lessons. Philip Ward ordered this pinochle deck. He certainly must be a clever player -at least whenever I go in his room I find him telling the others what cards they should have played and when they should have played them. Typewriter ribbon for Kathryn Hobson. She's well enough to sit up and type now. VV hat is she working on? A book called How to Develop Your Personality. I imagine it will be very successful judging from Kay's own charming personality. A community song book for Bernard Ings. VVithout a song and Bernie-. The train ride home from Washington would never have been so much fun, so they say. Now let's see what's next on the list? One Hollywood pattern for Iayne O'Connor. You know she's been quite anxious to make a new addition to her lovely wardrobe. Mvm-mm, doesn't this candy heart look delicious? I'd love to sample it but we'd better rush it right up to room 204 to replace the one Betty Gibson lost to a certain alumnus. Well, what's this ofiicial looking envelope? Look! one ticket to Washington for Harry Drake, and an engraved invitation. 67 MON AD Oh, he's been waiting for that for weeks. It's an invitation from President Roosevelt to come down and advise him on the Supreme Court question. Aha, one of our patients is thrifty-behold the bank! Yes, for lean Scaperotta-and this time it's for her own savings instead of the money which she so efficiently collected for the MONAD. It worried her so much that she had horrible nightmares of orange slips and quarters. One bow tie for that handsome fellow in room 207-Elmer Gibbs. I've heard the other patients comment on how well he dresses. Be sure to check this one, please-one Dissertation on the Benefits to be Derived from a Long Rest for Sophie Madler. Dr. Glaspey recommends that she read it thoroughly because she is so exhausted from her brilliant work in editing the Senior MONAD. At last it has come! VVhat? What has come? VVhy the engagement ring that Bob VVertz has been eagerly awaiting. Perhaps tonight with this under his pillow he will dream of Dotty Codner and orange blossoms. Here's a complete make-up kit for Ruth Macaulay, manufactured especially by the RQ C. Fagan Co. A pair of shoes for Iunie McCourt. He wears them out so quickly doing those fast dance numbers. VVell, what in the world is this-Orange ribbons and green nail polish? For Ellen Hayes, so she will be prepared for next St. Patrick's Day. Speaking of nail polish, here's the weekly supply of black for Carolyn Phillips. Ahoy there! a tiny boat. Check this off for lack Schmutz. From what I've heard he hopes to command a larger one some day. Check and double check this one for those two patients, Dot Belanske and Helen Fried. They are suffering from acute indigestion caused by eating their lunch too fast at noontime. Here's an alarm clock for them. I wonder if it will teach them the value of time? This football banner will surely remind Sam Aromando of the days when he fought so desperately for dear old B. H. S. This piece of music is for Doris Seely. Look-it's that old favorite, I Found a Million Dollar Baby in the Five and Ten Cent Store. Yes, I understand Herby Koelsch ordered it sent to her from him. Behold, wisdom enters our gates in the form of the three little monkeys. These are for Ioan Rummel. Next, a lengthy volume on the t'Art of Argumentationn by Kenneth Coulter for those two splendid debaters, Rose Del Tufo and Florence Freedman. In my opinion, Miss Rogers, there should really be something here for each of our patients. They are all deserving of some memento, with which to remember their stay at our beautiful sanatorium, but it seems that time will not permit us to mention every one. Goodness, that's true, Miss Clarkson. Look at the clock! We'll have to hurry or we'll be late. 68 1937 ADVICE TO THE IUNIORS There comes a time in every young Iunior's life when he must take his place as a Senior, and so we feel that a little advice from those who have made the trip will do no harm and will prove a safeguard as they enter the last mile on the highway of schooldom. TO THE CLASS IN GENERAL 1. The best advice we can give is for everyone to graduate in june, 1938. 2. Always have a new supply of records on hand for the radio. 3. After our Senate meeting the other day we suggest that you go to Mr. Kittle when you are in need of novel ideas. To the juniors Who Intend to Go to VVashington: You had better give Mr. Kittie a medical bag to make it more convenient to attend the ailing Seniors. 'l'o Robert Cook: Remember, Bob, you don't have to have a Carragher haircut to be class president. To Bill Engelmann: How about a few more members in that orchestra? Maybe that would improve it some. To Dave Martin: You'd better keep that racing bike in good condition so you can get to Iean's house in nothing flat. To Dan Wascoe: Don't you think it's about time you awoke from your coma of shyness? To Adele Conroy: We suggest that you take a few lessons in bookkeeping from Ioe Caskey in order to liquidate your liabilities. To Helen Sanok: Stick to your basketball, Helen: maybe Miss Wright will consent to a Girls' Basketball Team that will play more than one game next year. To Lois Fatzinger: Don't run into any doors when you're a Senior, Lois. That line won't work then. To Peggy Luby: You'd better get a clock that won't lose time, one of these days Danny won't wait for you. To Bill Parmer: Don't be like the rest of the athletes, Billg hold on to that gold basketball. To Leo Culkin: You can't afford a long vacation next year, appendix or no appendix! To Marirose Hanlon: Why be so self-conscious about your glasses, Tootsg you know you can't tell a book by its cover! To Dottie Dunleavy: Dottie, you'd better ask Good Counsel's Iohn Iulius for another picture because you'll wear that one out. To jimmy Craven: You'd better start looking now for a girl who admires your smile as Lois did. To Ioe Distasio: Keep up the good work, Ioeg one of these days you'll be a great orator. 'I'o Cecile Campbell: You'd better put your culottes in moth balls if you expect to use them for cheerleading next year. To VVanda Rogers: If you really like Bus, in all fairness you should admit it, so the rest of us will know where we stand. 69 MONAD CLASS PROPHECY Scene: Hut in the woods. Gypsy girl sits alone at table, turning over the leaves of a book, and croons in weird monotone: Double, double, toil and trouble, Life is but an empty bubble. From the past . . .

With this in mind I have brought you these handkerchiefs, fragrant with the personalities of these graduates. fPh0phetess speaks! Have thou a seat. Thou art indeed brave to dare look down the vista of things to be. Knowest thou not that a glance into the future is never a pleasure unmixed with pain? But as thou hast spoken-as thou hast dared to tempt the gods by thus challenging their revelations of thyself and thy classmates -listen, and it shall be prophesied unto thee. CTakes first handkerchiefj Ah! I see a rich man, a banker-riding in his aeroplane, counting out his money-wearing his diamonds. His name? Harry White. f Takes second handkerchief!

Her name once was Irene Coulther. QSeventh handkerchief! Hear the newsboy running down the street! What does he say? Listen, I catch it now-'4Extra! Extra! All about the big battle! American forces led to victory by the gallant soldiers, heroes of the hour-The Great Caesar and Anthony Casale. QI-Eighth handkerchief! Ah, an immense billboard, and what does it say?

Mr. President, brave official of the Class of 1937, my duty is at an end, and the future is hereafter to thee and thy classmates an open book. May each of you follow faithfully the paths I have marked out for your footsteps. Prophetess of Class of 1937 Rosie DEL Tum 71 MONAD CLASS WILL We, the unconquerable, irrepressible, and prospective graduates of the Class of 1937, from that illustrious hall of learning, famed both far and wide, namely Belle- ville High School, situated in the town of Belleville, county of Essex, state of New Iersey, in that prosperous country known as the United States, on the continent of North America, in the Western Hemisphere, X marking the spot at precisely 740 15' longitude, 41 18' latitude on this terrestrial sphere, being of a mind intact and efficient, and about to glide out on the stream of unconsciousness between the portals of this noble edifice, do hereby present to the anxiously waiting world our last will and testament. Item I. To Mr. Kittle, our principal, we give and bequeath the power to for- give and forget and remember that Seniors will be Seniors. Item II. To that long-suffering aggregation of pedagogues, affectionately known as THE FACULTY, with all the strength we can gather together as we strive to ward off the oncoming darkness, we extend our most heartfelt gratitude, and sigh as we ponder on all they have endured to attempt to instill in us a few grains of learning and make us aware of our approaching duties as shining examples of American citizenship. SPECIFIC TO THE FACULTY 1. To Miss Underwood-a handy oak gavel for the single, express, and obvious purpose of striking the surface of her desk a sturdy blow to arouse dormant students, stimulate interest, create silence out of noise, frighten the timid and tame the belligerent. 2. To Miss Brennan-chewing gum! fllj 3. To Mr. Reinke-some ruffled curtains to put the finishing touches on his domestic habitat. 4. To Miss Walters-an automatic filing system to take care of those sheets of music which the Glee Club simply refuses to put away after class. 5. To Miss C-ray-a stop watch. 6. To Mr. Coulter-one nice long, dreamy recording of Blue Hawaii for that mood. 7. To Mr. Smith-a bunch of hard doughnuts to take the place of his football cream-puffs. 8. To Miss Hollberg-an extensive and all-embracing course in the art of sketching to help her bring her German students out of the fog. 9. To Mr. Iunda-one spare fountain pen for those moments when Mr. Bren- nan has forgotten to return his other one. io. To Miss Leahy and Miss Wright-one script with cues underlined in red ink to keep them from interrupting each other in the process of reproaching the fso we thoughtj irreproachable. 11. To Mr. Paul Iones-larger pockets in which to carry his hands. 72 1937 12. To Mr. Fagan-just one class, small, if need be, but intellectual so that he can give the kind of Chemistry course he'd like to. 13. To Mr. Hefferman-a little more courage so he could give that hidden canary of his a chanceg it brightens the whole day to hear a teacher singing. 14. To Mr. Winika-that long-awaited streak of lightning for his track team. 15. To Mr. Davis-some overstuffed chairs for the new office. Item III. To our diminutive successors we strongly recommend Alice in Won- derland's effective prescription for attaining a more impressive height. Item IV. To the Freshmen-the hope that the school will last long enough for them to make the grade. Item V. To the Sophomores-just half the knowledge when they're Iuniors that they thought they had when they were Sophomores. Item VI. To the Juniors-a restful summer vacation to build them up to resist the wear and tear of the Senior year. ' Item VII. Now, out of the goodness of our heart, we leave these significant tokens to members of the under-classes: 1. To Edward Banta-a date book to record the dates he didn't keep. 2. To Muriel Sommers-a dictaphone record of her chatterings to keep herself company when no one else will listen. 3. To Vincent Sorrentino-an awful lot of hope tied with pink ribbons that he will gain a permanent place at first base. 4. To Virginia Breunich-you do try so hard, so we will leave you some of Bette McManus' Hair for sophistication. 5. To Bill Engelmann-a whole class of new Freshman girls upon whom to expend your charming personality. 6. To Lois Fatzinger-visions of sugar-plums-or is it Billy Heilman? 7. To Betty Schwab-a horde of good-looking young men to add to your retinue of loyal followers. 8. To Robert Howard-the hope that the truant oiiicer will become your dear- est friend. You know, just in case. 9. To Shirley Bitz-her sister's dancing footsteps in follow in. io. To Anne Roviello-A lost-and-found ad for her other dimple. 11. To Robert Cook-Iunie Carragher's oratorical ability minus the stage- roaming tendency. 12. To all those who come to school late-a volume of quick-witted answers to questions from our stern inquisitors, the office force, also, our utter tranquillity when entering a class ten minutes tardy during the progress of a momentous test upon the Reality of Abstract. As we find ourselves fast receding from the realm of Secondary Education we fasten our feverish eyes on the shining goal ahead and hereby and herewith appoint and forcefully name as executors and trustees of our last will and testament the hopeful Freshmen, the studious Sophomores, the aspiring Iuniors, Mr. Kittle, and the class advisers on this, the 16th day of Iune in the year of 1937. Witnesses: Yvonne, Cecille, Annette, Emilie, and Marie Dionne. 73 THE STUDENTS CREED I believe in honest work, in generous comradeship, in the courage of high convictions. I believe in the inspiration of all that is truest and best: in books, in people, and in life. I believe in loyalty to our high school, the fostering mother of these ideals. and I pledge her my allegiance in all her undertakings, in all that will make her a stronger and nobler school. 74 ,M QA ., I, ,I ' I sz I 5 0 I TI Y- w Q Y if tar 1 I ACTIVITIES MONAD I l DEBATE CLUB This year has been, for the Debate Club, a year of achievement. 'l'he club increased its niernbership greatly and the learn has been quite successful, having been awarded three decisions out of a possible tive. The scheduled meetings were held each second VVednesdav throughout the school year. The meetings were devoted to discussions of the principles and prac- tices of debating and the questions to be debated, as well as to the hearing and judging of try-out speakers. In addition to the regular activities of the Club, individual rnernbers have taken part in many interesting scholastic contests. In this school's New Iersev Forensic League Oratorical Contest. Rose Del Tufo was adjudged the winnerg in Belleville's Iohn Marshall College of Law Oratorical Contest, Ioseph Distasio was proclaimed best speaker. For the first time in the history of Belleville High School, letters have been awarded for debating. The award was based on two years of participation in varsity debates. 'l'hose who received their letters were Frances Berkowitz. Mildred Biebelw berg, Ioseph Distasio, Ianet VValdie, and Crayce Stewart. In addition to this. Beatrice Berkowitz and Lorraine Houseinan were voted best debaters. 'l'he Belleville High School Debate Club, which holds nlembership in the New jersey Forensic League and the Northern New Iersey Debating League, owes much of its success to its faculty adviser, Mr. Kenneth C. Coulter. 76 Af' t IQQ7 My- ' BAN KERS livery 'l'uesday morning we are greeted with the suggestive sign. Bank Day 'l'oday. 'l'hen, very yirtuously we dig into our pockets and bring forth the Sllllllllg eoins. Away they all go to the bankers-Lincoln. the buffalo and the Indian, the eagle and the draped figure, and the pretty lady. Of course, they're not really lost to us, for they're all accounted for in our bank books. 'l'he bankers send a record of our deposits and the money to Mr. lfuleomer, and he sends the deposits from the entire school to the First National Bank of Belleville. Banners are presented to home rooms which achieve one hundred per cent, and Miss Kelleher and hlr. Brennan usually carry on a banking war with these banners as spoils. Banking encourages thrift and sensible spending, thereby creating a sense of responsibility in students. It also helps to pull us out of some tight places. because high school students always run short of money! 77 MONAD ! sm. I CHEER LEADERS Don't be frightened, Grandma, they won't hurt you. jumping around? The heat? Oh no, dear, they're just trying to help win the game. By keeping up the morale of the players, of course. That roaring noise? It's all right, darling. That's a new cheer 'The Swing Locomotivef Why, dearest, how could you think a thing like that? They're not fanatics, they're just the cheerleaders. 'tVVhy look, there's Marcella Ferguson, and Dorothy Belanske! What a relief it is to see at least two familiar faces! Dearest, look over there. Do you see that girl jumping all over the place? She looks familiar. Why it's-no, it can't be-- but it is! It's that Elaine Rhodes! How many is that now? Three? No, dear, I don't see any boys at all. Isn't that little girl Isabel Smith? That dark-haired one is Bernice Becker, I think. Yes, dear, there must be a boy around somewhere but I don't see him. janet Moffett? Yes, that's she. The girl with her must be Cecile Campbell. That makes seven, doesn't it? Must be another one. Grandma! A vision, a dream, a boy! Who can this chivalrous hero be, who rushes in where other men fear to tread? Why, it's that nice McCoy boy-Larry McCoy. A'Yes, dear, they always wear those yellow cheerleading sweaters. It's sort of a sign of the profession, if you understand what I mean. Looks after them? Oh yes, that is a job. Mr. Glaspey is responsible for them as much as anyone could be. Yes, it probably is very nerve-racking. No, he doesn't show any signs of premature greyness. Do sit still, Grandma, and stop cheering. Everyone is looking at us! 78 1037 uri a c ' . BAND 'l'he Belleville Iligh School Band, under the leadership of Miss XValters. has been able to carry out the fine work and traditions of every high school band. During the football season every pupil of Belleville High felt that thrill and joy of school spirit when the 58 band members, decked in lively colors of gold, blue. and white, marched down the field with their shining instruments playing favorite songs appropriate for the season. The drum major walked very proudly, leading the band around the Held, with Pat 'l'ortorelli doing his twirling stunts in a breath- taking fashion that made the crowds roar. They played their way to the Belleville grandstand and then to the visitorsf and with a turn, they all came back to take their places in the Band section of the Belleville grandstand. VVhether we won or lost, the band was always there to encourage the cheerleaders and players with its music, especially our famous Alma Mater, between halves. The Band stands out not only during football games, but also in other activities. as school assemblies and parades. One Freshman girl, Carol Carswell, a clarinetist. tried out for the New Iersey All State Baird and took second place-Hue work! XVC have many such people in this great band of ours that we don't hear so much about. but who do big things in a big way. Miss VValters has started a Beginners' Baird this year in which IF, students will participate and eofoperate in preparation for next year's games. 79 . U M5 MONAD W , . -c l it..:2w-11 J f- 0 oRCHEsTRA Kpwrf An organization both educational and entertaining is the Belleville High School orchestra. It is composed of seventy members and is conducted by Miss VV alters. These seventy members play a great and interesting variety of instruments. All the faithful congregate in the music room once a week to devote a period to Pan. In this manner they prepare for the programs on which they appear. They played at assemblies, they helped along with the ceremonies at the dedication of the new school, and furnished the overture and intermission music at the perform- ance of Tweedles. At the Spring Concert they furnished the classical music of the program. Their repertoire is extensive and impressive. This year it included such beau- tiful but diflicult selections as excerpts from T schaikowsky's Pathetique Symphony. 'AThe March of the Peers from Gilbert and Sullivan, and the Andante Movement from Haydn's Surprise Symphony. So 1037 CLEI5 CLUB XVe're certainly proud of our Clee Club! And here are just a few of the reasons: 'l'heir first accomplislnnent was a Tlianksgiving Day Program, for the assembly, in which they sang the famous poem, Iliawatha. Later carrie thc dedication ceremonies of the new addition to our school and they entertained our parents and friends with a number of selections. 'l'o further their achievements they sang the llalleluiah Chorus from 'l'hc hlessiah, at our own Christmas program. But these earlier presentations were given just in preparation for their main event-The Spring Concert-which was held in May and which proved definitely their abilities. lt was their eighth annual Spring Concert, and consisted of both classical and popular divisions. 'l'hc Symphonic Orchestra furnished the accompaniment in the classics, and our own jazz orchestra rendered the popular selections. Included were numerous original scenes. among them a Dude Ranch Scene and a Fashion Show. lflimsy, pastel gowns worn by the girls completed the appealing effect produced by their singing. 'l'o our honorary list we added twenty-four songsters who represented Belleville lligh School in the annual Essex County Chorus. And in addition, we boast tive members of the lnternational lligh School Artists' Society. Now do you believe us when we say we're proud of our Clce Club?

Oli, I hope so, but you know those girls belong to the Secretarial Club, and you must have a B average to be eligible for membership. Secretarial Club? What's that? VVell, the Secretarial Club is a business organization that meets on the Hrst Thursday of every month and is composed of certain commercial students who wish to gain experience in the business world. They gain this experience by acting as secretaries for the teachers and the oflice clerks. You know, I bet they have a lot of fun at meetings, especially under the administration of The Three Musketeers, Walker, Codner and Ural. Yes, they certainly do. They have splendid programs after each meeting, such as debates, plays and discussions, all of which pertain to the business world, of course. .I wonder what thev'll do next- .VV ell, at present I hear that they are plannnig to go to New York to tour the Stock Market and some of the large industrial concerns. Coniidentially speak- ing, I've heard rumors that they are going to give a play in assembly. .lt seems to be both educational and entertaining-I hope we can join next year. .Yes, I hope so, too, but we'll never be eligible if we don't Enish this typing.

SAUNDERS Faculty Adviser This year the Rifle Club was re-organized by a group of enthusiastic riflernen. Although handicapped by the lack of a range in Belleville, the club continued to grow throughout the year and established itself as a vigorous organization, using the range of the Maplewood Rifle Club for the meetings. Only one match was scheduled, that with Hillside High School. the latter winning by a close score. With one year of experience, the Rifle Club expects next season, which will be a busy one, to continue the activities of this year. The members include Howard Garland, Harry Drake, Blossom Huizer, john Idenden, Robert Allaire, William Fehon, Fred Iohnston, Richard Schlichting, lack Robinson, Ernest Alden, Louis Rau, Robert Ienkins, Hugo Di Giovanni, Paul Thompson, Clifford Smith, Fred Wohlfert, Samuel Cocks, Edward Volpe, Iames Pitrelli, Marcella Ferguson, lean Robinson, Frances Sheldon, jane Horgan, Mar- garet MacLaughlin, Betty Schwab, and Margaret Papartis. 84 M O A X Vo 1 'i 3 7 ATHLETICS MONAD COACHES The burden of responsibility for the training and direction of athletic teams rests upon the shoulders of four members of the faculty. As Coaches of the various sports. they give generously of their time and effort. It is the Monad's pleasure to acknowledge on behalf of the student body the value of their services to us. In general charge of thc athletic activities of the Belleville schools is A. K. McBride, Athletic Director. Mr. McBride serves also as coach of the basketball team. Ile is assisted by Alvin B. Davis. The coach of football and baseball is Frank B. Smith, who is assisted in football bv Mr. Davis and VVilho VVinika, and in baseball by Mr. Davis. Mr. XVinika is coach of the track team, assisted by Henry VVatters, a citizen of Belleville and an alumnus of the High School. S6 af, ,rw ij I aww .L 1027 l OO'l 'BALL Six or seven footballs flying through the cold, stinging air-a band gayly zittired standing at attention, proudly serenading the group running, kicking. and warming up on the white striped field -crowds cheering their favorites-flashes of color in the scene which tells us that King Football is with ns once again and the first game is about to start. Students and townspeople alike showed they were completely backing the team and coach by turning out en masse for the opening game at Clearman Field. The boys knew that this year they had a diflicult task because last year's squad was broken up by the loss of regulars. But they met the enemy and conquered. 'l'he team played through a vigorous schedule of nine games and encountered the top-notch teams of lissex County and vicinity. Now let us review the highlights of the important games. 'l'he Bell-boys opened their campaign with Ramsey and won handily. Next came our athletic arch-enemy and traditional rival, Bloomtieldg Coach Smith had his boys pointing for this game and the boys fought to the point of exhaustion but it just wasn't our year. llowever, victory was again ours on the following Saturday against Lyndhurst. A few weeks later saw one of the best games played on Clearman Field, our opponent being Central lligh. lt was nip and tnek throughout with Belleville finally losing out, but gloriously. Our last game, on 'lhanksgiying Day, was greeted with talk of turkey and snow. 87 MONAD The team was coached by Frank Smith along with the able assistance of Willio Winika, a newcomer from Rutgers, and Alvin Davis. Big Bus Gausepohl captained the team and Leo Culkin was appointed Student Manager. At the All Sports Banquet sweaters and footballs were presented to Hollweg, Shaughnessy, Boniface, Zoppa, Hardaway, Wertz, A. Zuzzio, N. Zuzzio, Hantala, and Tesone. Doyle, Vuono, Aromando, Ryder, Gausepohl, and Slade received letters.

IDAVIS Assistant Coach CIIAIu.Ics RoIsINsoN Student hffanager Glancing over the schedule we End that Kenneth Coulter, Belleville lligh Schools Faculty Manager, had booked for the basketball team sixteen hard games. eight of which were to be played on our home court. 'l'o increase the attendance, student tickets were 11l2lClC available by the Athletic Council. 'l'hus, for one dollar, a student was permitted to see seven home games. 'l'he enthusiastic support of both students and adults was capably handled by our frisky cheerleaders. XVhen the new gymnasium was opened the basketball team did their bit in the dedication by playing VVest Orange on the court. Now. let's turn to the high-lights of the season. 'l'he Kearny game was a forty minute period packed full of thrills. Either a tied score or a OIIC point difference prevailed throughout the game. VV ith less than a half minute to play Bill Parmer received a free throw. XVhile Parmer shot and missed, Captain Bus Causepohl had called time out. 'l'hus Bill was entitled to another chance at the toss, which was destined to win for Belleville. At XVest Orange. our high school squad not only gained revenge with the 89 193' MONAD hoinesters for spoiling our inauguration ceremonies, but broke a record by beating the West Orange Cowboys 30-24. You see, previous to this Belleville had never defeated West Orange on the latter's court. For the third consecutive year we were invited to enter the New Iersey State Basketball Tournament. Call it bad luck, if you wish, but Belleville was chosen to play Weequahic at the Orange Armory. As the schedule shows, VVeequahic won 39-21. lust a minute! The season is never completed until we consider the awards. A change was made in the presentation of the gold basketball. Formerly the player receiving the highest percentage of foul shots acquired the honor. This year Bill Parmer received it for the greatest improvement over the previous season. Together with the basketball, the following awards were presented at the All-Sports Banquet: Sweaters to Harry White, Leonard Aiello, Frank Brown, Victor Brugeman and Charles Robinson, letters to Horace Gausepohl, Leo Culkin and William Parmer. Thus ended another successful season of this popular sport.

Many more boys wish to join but as yet Coach Davis has not been able to find the time to Work with them. 'l'he boys have shown the resnlts of their training and practice at various basket- ball games. 'l'heir most important appearance of the year was at the Gym Exhibi- tion on March 18. Up to the present time the Gym Team has performed only at high school affairs.
