9 EC HOES OF 1928 Published by the Seniors of Boonton High School Boonton, New Jersey £DEDICATION To our mothers and fathers to whom we wish to express grateful appreciation for their encouragement and assistance in every undertaking, we, the Senior Class, affectionately dedicate Echoes of 1928. THE %ED qAND ‘BLACK Tune: The c.Princeton Qannon ZMarch 1 There is a banner in the sky, The streaming Red and Black, Under it all Boonton’s foes Are gallantly turned back. Her warriors brave have struggled on With steadfast, lofty aim And placed the shining Red and Black On enduring heights of fame. CHORUS Rally to your colors now For Boonton High School calls on you, . Fight, fight for victory And for honor true. Rah, rah, rah. Proudly she watches you, You will not fail her in the cause, With hearts loyal and true Bring her own colors through Boonton’s Red and Black. 2 The glorious flag which flaunts the breeze Breathes of a courage rare, Fine purposes and high resolves, To challenge them who dare. While Boonton High School thus goes on Unswerving, firm and true, She looks to us to carry on Her works and ideals, too. HELEN C. DUNN, ’23. 4BOARD OF SDH CAT ION MR. HARRY CHARLTON..........................................President MR. WARREN BALDWIN.....................................Vice-President MRS. RUTH SEABURY MR. THOMAS KAVANAUGH MR. HARRY WOOTTON MR. JOHN B. HOWELL MR. JOSEPH MONTGOMERY MR. EDWARD A. WALSH MR. FRANK HOPKINS PERMIT me to sermonize just this once: The hours of labor are lessened; the hours of leisure increased. One of the great problems facing America to-day is the proper use of leisure time. Extensive investigation in the business and industrial world has shown that what a man does on his Off-Duty Time determines to a large extent his efficiency during his On-Duty Time. Class of 1928, so use both worktime and playtime that when the hair is graying you may occasionally grow reminiscent, proud of “The days that are no more.” M. BURR MANN. IF YOU have learned that honor is dearer than gold; that truth is preferable to riches; that victory is sweet, but defeat is not disgraceful; to smile when others frown; to keep your head when others lose theirs; to keep and hold to the right; to be kind, courageous and clean; to be fair and never mean; to keep faith with those who trust you; to believe and trust in God, you will be captains of your fates, masters of yourselves, respected and honored by your fellowmen and generations yet unborn.

There’.s not one in the world with which ours can’t compete. Mr. Mann is the first whom we’re pleased to present, A good sport, a good friend is our superintendent. Mr. Boyer, our principal, sometimes severe, Is a man who is capable, always sincere. Much respected and liked by the school one and all Is Miss Price, who is versatile, talkative, small. Mr. Spurway we’re sure you would all like to know,— He’s the kind who is snappy and right on the go. There’s Miss Hall, whose home room is her weightiest care. Mr. Lotter, possessed of a dignified air. Now Miss Crooks expounds French (she is really a peach). And our quiet Miss Evans can certainly teach. There’s Miss Abbott, who’s clever, and coaches a play In a perfectly marvelous, efficient way. Mr. Evans has traveled and knows East and West. And Miss Palmer at coaching debating is best. Miss McCloskey is happy, tho’ dull be the day, And Miss Wilcox has always a smile to display. Meet Miss Nickerson, musical? Well, we just guess, And Miss Reid, who is style with a capital S. Mr. Rea. with the ladies, is quiet at his ease. Mrs. Borck sketches bird-houses, flowers, and trees. Mr. Killian, quiet and sober is he, Our Miss Davis the most charming hostess can be. In the library one teacher works very hard— Ask Miss Jeffrey if you want a library card. Mrs. Eaton takes charge of our absentee slips. In the shop Mr. Hillary slashes and rips. (Yet his saw is quite handy when we give a play For all the stage settings aren’t made in a day.) Now you’ve been introduced to the faculty troup. Don’t you think you have met a most interesting group? Y E A R B O OK STAFF Standing, left to right: Arthur Higgins, Katherine Haviser, Dean Wolf. Norwood Salmon. Salvatore Maraziti.

SALVATORE MARAZITI..........PresidcntZMlL HORNICK............Secretary MARION BLANCHARD Vice-PresidentsAMUEL BROWN..........Student Treasurer MR. HERBERT SPURWAY.. ..Faculty Advisor BOONTON HIGH SCHOOL is fortunate in having one of the ablest school organizations in the state. The Students’ Regalian Association, composed of the student body and faculty, has set a record for efficient management of school activities which will be difficult to surpass. Its executive committee, the Students’ Regalian Council, has complete control of all school funds and expenditures. It also is empowered to grant awards and formulate such regulations as will best serve the interests of the student body. Each year a fixed number of delegates to the Student Council is elected by the respective classes. This year the Seniors are represented by Florence Bogardus, Margaret Stavely, John Ackerman, Sam Brown, and Salvatore Maraziti; while Marion Blanchard, Elizabeth Lucas, Fred Bednar, and Walter Herrmann look after the interests of the Juniors. The Sophomores are ably represented by Bertha Blanchard, Harriet Griffith, and Emil Hornick, with Colon Campbell as the representative from the Freshman Class. Mr. Spurway, the faculty adviser, has freely given of his valuable services and counsel that the student body may profit from the practical suggestions he has to offer. Under his enthusiastic guidance the Student Council has had a year of varied and profitable activity. Results thus far achieved fully justify the implicit faith and confidence we have in his ability to carry on this work. Probably the most outstanding work of the student body this year was the successful management of our monetary affairs, so that in spite of the fact that the Morristown-Boonton game was played away from home, which deprived us of considerable revenue, we ended the year with a substantial balance on hand. The balance of $1,499.86 on February 15, 1928, assures the continuance of our scheduled activities for the ensuing year. The classes and clubs of the school have been exceptionally busy in their various school activities, which speaks well for the work of the Council. The past year has marked another successful era in the history of Boonton High School, much of which is due to the enthusiastic and willing cooperation of the Council and Mr. Spurway. ZMISS SMARY 6. TRICE Class a.4d visor WE wish to express our sincere appreciation and deepest gratitude to Miss Mary E. Price for her ever-willing assistance and advice which have so successfully guided us through our Senior Year. With her aid we have attained this year a better spirit of work and cooperation than has ever before been manifested in our class. SALVATORE MARAZITI President nf Senior Class No one has done more for our class than “Sal,” Senior Class president. Throughout this year, especially, he has unselfishly devoted his time and effort in making the final period of our High School life a success. Sincere and earnest in everything he undertakes, his untiring interest in his class and school has made him stand out as a leader in all activities. This year, as president of the Students’ Regalian Association, the highest office in the school, he has left a definite mark on the pages of school history. A versatile student, he was Secretary of the Forum, 3; President of the Forum, 4; a speaker on the Championship Debate Team, 3; Leader of the Debate Team, 4; Secretary of the Spanish Club, 3; Member of Wampus Staff, 3; Alternate of the S. R. C., 3; Year Book Staff, 4; Class Orator, 4, and played on the Inter-class basketball and football teams, 4. With all his honors and responsibilities, Salvatore has found time to keep pace as a leader in all his class work, having won the prize for scholarship in his Junior Year, and attaining a place on the high honor roll. The class has voted him the most reliable, the most respected, the best student, and the most likely to succeed. JOHN ACKERMAN “ACKIE” “A buy’s will is the wind's will Anil the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” “Ackie” is one of our most athletic students, standing out especially in basketball and track. For three years he has been on the varsity basketball team. We always remember him as the one who makes all those neat, long-distance shots. “Ackie” safely led our class through the hard work and success of the Junior Year as the Junior Class president.

CHARLES BATEMAN “CHARLIE” “Nothing is more friendly to a man than a friend in need.” Charlie’s carefree, light-hearted laugh covers up all responsibilities that he takes upon himself. With the swing of a true director he conducted the High School in the debate songs this year. His untiring efforts in behalf of Boonton High School are readily realized when we say that he has led the cheering for two years and played in the orchestra for three. As stern Mr. Parcher in the Senior play, he let out his pent-up feelings with the slamming of anything within his reach.

MYRTLE BLOCK “MYRT” “A day for toil, an hour for sport, But for a friend life is too short.” Hey! Athletes, watch your step when “Myrt” gets going. She is one of our best basketball players— always in the right place. She not only fills this place on the squad but also among her classmates. During her four years with us she has been just the one to do little things for us. This year she has helped Mr. Boyer in the office, besides keeping up in her studies. Play the game of life as you have played it in High School and you are sure to win, Myrt. Office force, 4 ; Inter-class basketball, 1,2; Varsity basketball, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 3; Inter-class track, FLORENCE BOGARDUS “JANE” “Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's master piece is writing well. She is as fleet with her pen as with her tongue, in both poetry and prose. Have you ever .seen anyone with a bit of genius? Have you ever seen anyone with exceptional ability and a vivid imagination? Have you ever seen anyone with both of these? If you have, that’s our Florence. Art Club, 1; Debate Club, 2; Forum, 3, 4; French Club, 3, 4; S. R. C., 4; Wampus. 4; Senior play, 4; Latin Club, 4; Year Book Staff; Lincoln Medal. SAMUEL W. BROWN BROWNIE” “So much one man can do. That does both act and know. The class of ’28 would have a difficult time repaying Sam for his wonderful co-operation, which is a basic reason for each of our successes this year. The class has given him small enough honor as the class hustler, the most practical, the most versatile, and naturally the most popular figure in his class. Whether he was guarding the S. R. A. treasury, or writing an inspiring article for the Wampus, it can be said of him that he was, and always will be, one of those who gives his best to any task.

MARIAN BRUEN “PIP” “Infinite riches in a little room. Oh! quiet you say? Wrong. Ready to smile, quick to help, and always trying to see the bright side of life are a few of the reasons why Marian has been selected the most optimistic of our class. Pip has done her work faithfully and has therefore gained the distinction of having more academic credits than any other Senior. She may be little in stature, but she has a big group of friends. French Club, 3; Latin Club, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 3. CECELIA CONN “CIEL “My soul is full oj whispered song.” Here is a girl who is vivacious, carefree, and full of fun. Her generous nature and happy smile make her everyone’s friend. Ciel has also proved herself a willing worker by her ever-ready assistance in serving the visiting teams. We will remember her as the “song bird of 104,” where she creates an atmosphere of jollity by her presence. Inter-class Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1; Girl Reserves, 3, 4; Forum, 4; Spanish Club, 3, 4. ROBERT CROTHAMEL “BOB” “Meek and I only, pure and holy. Chief among the ‘blessed three.’ ” The name “Bob” is synonymous with those of Ulf and Dean, for we never see one without the other two. The merry trio seems to have found much wit and fun in life, for they are always jolly and in a jesting mood. “Bob,” perhaps the quietest of the three, has a smile all his own. On the football field, he is hard to equal, levelheaded, and a steady player. When you don’t know where to find “Bob” next, just look out into the hall and you’ll see him parading up and down with his two pals. Football, 3, 4; Track, 2, 3, 4. JOHN CROWELL “CROWELL” “There's the humor of it. One who meets John for the first time is sure to be impressed by his good nature and nonchalance. Besides possesing a rare sense of humor, John has a hearty laugh which adds the final touch to his jest. We admire his unique taste in neckties and “automobiles.” His favorite diversions out of school are hunting and fishing. PETER DeGELLEKE “PETE” I find you want me to furnish you with argument and intellect, too.” Pete is quiet until there is an argument afoot. Then he cannot be stopped until he has argued the matter inside out. He has a decided talent in the art of writing, although he is far too reticent to permit his ability to' be widely known. Pete’s retiring disposition offers a marked contrast to the loquacity of his inseparable companion, John Crowell. HAROLD DUFFIELD “DUFFY” “This is the thing I was born to do.” Boonton High’s galloping fullback is a favorite all over the school. He sails through his day in a “happy-go-lucky” way, taking knocks and boosts good-naturedly. It requires a good deal of retrospection to remember “Duffy” ruffled or angered. He is one of the riders of Tucker’s Ford, which transports our football players. He doesn’t talk about himself, but his deeds speak for him. Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain, Baseball, 4; Football, 3, 4; Hi-Y, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 3, 4. JOHN EMERICK “JACK” “Delivers in such apt and gracious words That aged ears play truant at his tales. And younger hearers are quite ravished.” Never is Jack about without our knowing it. His two principal extracurricular activities are Track and the Spanish Club. He is the unofficial announcer of the club, for he never leaves anything unsaid. As a scene shifter and general utility man he showed real worth to his class. Cross Country Team, 1; Inter-class Football, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Track, 3; Varsity Track, 3; Spanish Club, 3, 4. FLORA EVERMENT “TOOTS” “Pep and fun and jollity, A happy personality.’' Here is a girl who is always in a hurry but finds plenty of time to do a favor for you. “Toots” has a jolly disposition and cheery way about her that is sure to keep her up in the big world outside. She has a flare for athletics and is interested in a number of worthwhile activities around the school. Here is a list to prove it: Girl Reserves, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Track; Forum, 3; Office Force, 4. FRANCES EVERMENT “FRANK” “Happy am I. from care I am free. K hy aren’t they all contented like me?” “Always in a hurry, but with a smile for everyone,” characterizes Fiances. She filled a niche left for her in the Class of 1928, and as a member of the Girls’ Inter-class Basketball Team contributed materially to its success. She did so well that she was appointed Captain in her Senior year. “Frank” has loyally supported her class and has more than done her share of the work which falls to the lot of Senior girls. Inter-class Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Glee Club, 1; Dramatic Club, 2; Spanish Club, 2, 3, 4; Girl Reserves, 2, 3, 4; Forum, 3, 4; Wearer of ’28. NATHAN FISHLER “NUT” “An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told.” “Nut” is a quiet fellow, short in stature, but long on good nature. When there’s work to be done “Nut” is there to help in his quiet manner. His tenacity has enabled him in spite of all setbacks, to graduate with the class of ’28. This perseverance and hard work will help in all problems he has to meet. Interclass Football, 1, 3; Interclass Basketball, 1, 2. ALONZO FREEMAN “W it and wisdom are born with a man.’' No person is more reserved about himself and his artistic talent than Alonzo. But we are often given the pleasure of his wit and subtle humor. His careful deliberation before attempting anything and the thoroughness with which he does it are two of his outstanding charateristics. With one touch of his pen we have—presto—a cartoon! If Alonzo doesn’t succeed as a cartbonist, no one else ever will. Hi-Y, 3, 4; Secretary and Treasurer, 4; Art Editor of Year Book, 4; Art Editor of Wampus, 4; Inter-class Football, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 1, 3; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3. “VEE The noblest mind the best contentment has.” Viola has been prominent throughout her High School life, but this year she was especially active. As Editor of the Wampus, Viola has done a great deal in building up the school publication. However, this is but one of the many things she has done for the school. She is an untiring worker, but still has time for lighter things. She was chosen the most popular girl in the class and you will agree that it was a good choice. Championship Glee Club, 1; Secretary, Girls’ Reserve, 2; President, Girls’ Reserve, 3; Captain of Inter-class Basketball, I; Wampus, 2, 3, 4; Editor of Wampus, 4; Secretary, French Club, 3; President, French Club, 4; Senior Play, 4; Assistant Editor of Year Book, 4; Vice-President, Forum, 3, 4; Secretary of Class, 3; Second Debate Team, 3; Wearer of Gold B., Script B., Script B. H. S. and 1928. VIOLA GOERNER MILDRED GOULD “MILLIE” “ Work first and then rest.” The author of this bit of poetry must have had “Millie” in mind. Her efficiency in commercial work has placed her in the demand of teachers and students. Her unselfishness is evidenced by the liberal sacrifice of her time. Tidy, accurate, and trim, you will not be surprised to hear that “Millie” has been voted the neatest in the class. French Club, 2 and 3; Girl Reserves, 1, 2; Office Force, 4; Championship Glee Club, 1; Typist, Year Book, 4. MILDRED L. GOULD “MILDRED L.” “Discretion of speech is more than eloquence.” A certain quiet dignity in her manner gives “Mildred L.” an air all her own. Her smooth, unruffled disposition is an inspiration to those of us who go madly around trying to hunt up an assignment or find a club meeting. We have never seen her excited. Her unassuming demeanor and stateliness have won for her the title of the most dignified member of the class of '28. Office Force, 4. MARIA HANLON “MOLLY” “Silence is golden.” Until this year Maria has kept herself in the background, but her hidden talents were certainly brought to light when the play “Seventeen” was put on. Maria as “Lola,” seemed to live the part, and she is still Lola to many of her classmates. Her gentle and demure manner, together with her generosity and friendliness, have won her a permanent place in our memory. French Club, 3; Girl Reserves, 3, 4; Senior Play, 4. DAVIS HARBESON “BEEF” “ ’77s good to be merry and wise.” Isn’t it only natural that one of the best natured fellows of the class should be a Boy Scout? Every National Boy Scout Week found our “Beef” wearing his Scout suit to school in loyal support of his favorite outside activity. We still chuckle when we think of him as the humorous Genesis in “Seventeen.” He is still a devotee of Literature and he tells us he intends to become a journalist. We feel sure he can make good in that line as he has always been one of our best English students. Senior Play, 4; Spanish Club, 3, 4. KATHERINE IIAVISER “KAY” “A little work, a little play. To keep us going day by day.” Here’s “Kay,” a girl who does things just a bit differently. She is quiet and somewhat retiring, but very individual. “Kay” may take her time about doing things, yet accomplishes what she sets out to do. She has a decided artistic talent and has helped us out many times with her posters. Year Book, 4; Latin Club, 4. DOROTHY HEADLEY “DOT” “Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart go together.” That’s “Dot.” Dorothy was with us during her Freshman and Sophomore years, but then she left us and went to Montclair. Boonton High called her back and now she is here to graduate with us. Her drawings have ranked her among the foremost artists of the school. Perseverance, coupled with her ability, will attain success for her. However, art is not her only interest. She is devoted to Girl Scouting as her numerous badges indicate. Art Club, 1; Inter-class Basketball, 4; Year Book Staff, 4. FRANK HEADLEY “RUNT” “Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest blessings.” The man without a necktie! However, we know he has one saved for those rare occasions when the photographer barks “Smile”! Though “Runt” is the youngest in our class, he has always ranked among the highest in scholarship. Those who know Frank intimately appreciate his subtle humor and witty remarks. He is an enthusiastic devotee of our national pastime—baseball. Year Book Staff, 4. ARTHUR J. HIGGINS “BUD” “No one knows what he ran do ’till he tries. Quiet, good-natured, reliable, and loyal describes “Bud” to perfection. Have you ever seen Boonton play on any field of sport and noticed that “Bud” was absent? Never. He is a staunch supporter of all our athletics and a good student, besides. He delights to give pointers on any game: “Bud” can tell you without pausing to think it over all the names of the famous players in any sport in any year. Inter-class Football, 6; Inter-class Basketball, 1, 4; Inter-class Track, 3; Member of the Year Book Staff, 4; Manager of Baseball, 4; President, Hi-Y, 4. VERA KALECHITZ “.In elegant sufficiency, content. Retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books. Ease and alternate labour, useful life, Progressive virtue, and approving Heaven!” Vera is just that, quiet and unassuming, yet pleasant, jolly and gay. Although her four years at Boonton High School have not been unusual, we feel that we will miss her peace and calm when we are parted. VIVIAN KANOUSE “VIV” “Sweet, grave aspect. Distance has been no hindrance to Vivian in gaining her education. In addition to her academic course she has helped considerably in disposing of the office tasks. Courtesy and consideration of others are two of her sterling qualities. She is a staunch upholder of the Senior scholastic record. Office Force, 4. ROGER KINGSLAND “ROG” “Life is not life at all without delight.” Whenever there is any business enterprise on hand, “Rog” can be depended upon to make a good job of it. His greatest successes in this line were as business managers of the Year Book and Wampus. “Rog” has taken a keen interest in the activities of both the class and school. He played the part of Wallie Banks in “Seventeen,” and, as usual, made a success of it. Wampus Business Manager, 4; Year Book Business Manager, 4; Track Manager, 4; Senior Play; President of Ushers’ Club; Assistant Track Manager, 3; Wearer of B. MARY KOVAL “MARE” “As night the befriending stars best showes So lives obscure the starriest souls disclose.” Mary is our pal and friend; her happy smile greets us daily. She is sympathetic and loyal, though these two characteristics are often hidden by her quietness. We know her for her interest in all things and for her willingness to serve. She is always reliable, with a keen delight in fun and fair play. VICTOR KOWALEWSKI “SHIEK” “I build my soul a hardy pleasure house If'herein at ease for aye to dwell.” Those who remember little Victor, of Freshman days, will understand what the nickname means. We will always think of him as having a smile on his countenance. Ecce! our youthful actor, Willie, who “liked apple-sauce in its place.” Who says he wasn’t known about our loftv halls? Behold! Inter-class Basketball, 2, 4; Inter-class Football, 1, 4; Spanish Club, 2, 3; President, Spanish Club, 4; Oratorical Club, 3; Senior Play, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2. JOSEPH LEONE “JOE” “As merry as the day is long.” Rotund and jovial, “Joe” is the easy-going type of fellow who is always sure to greet you with a big smile. Although you would not think from his appearance that he was built for athletics, “Joe” has shown his ability in Inter-class sports. He intends to be a pharmacist and no doubt his cheery good nature will win and keep for him many customers. Hi-Y, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 3, 4; Inter-class Football, 1, 2, 3, 4. PAULINE MacDONALD “MAC” Kith many a pleasing virtue graced. In a warm spot in our hearts she’s placed. “Mac” was not with us in our Junior year but she returned this year with her former enthusiasm and pep. When it comes to selling our candy and tickets “Mac” leads the field. She is one of our best linguists and has musical ability. Championship Glee Club. 1; French Club, 3; Spanish Club, 3; Forum, 3; Wearer of Gold B. ROSE MARAZITI “If hat she undertakes to do. she does, and does well.” One of our A students, Rose is devoted to her studies, sincere in her work, and every ready to do what she can for her class and the school. Rose always has a smile and a pleasant word for all those about her, and is not only efficient in studies, but takes part in any outside activities.

H. S., and 1928; Sophomore Scholarship Prize. JEANETTE McNAMARA “JINNY” “A su-eet, attractive kind of grace, A fall assurance given by looks.” Pretty and petite—do you wonder “Jinny” was voted our cutest girl? Everyone from Freshman to Senior feels the warmth of her sunny disposition. ' Although reserved in manner, she has a wide acquaintance among the student body. Inter-class Basketball, 2; Dramatic Club, 2: Spanish Club, 3. WALTER MILLER “WALT” ‘‘Let the world slide, let the world go, A fig for care and a fig for, woe.” Who is making all that noise in 107? Is it you, “Walt”? We prefer not to say. “Walt” is the kind who may cause a little trouble to his teachers, but who affords a lot of fun to his classmates. He is cheerful and carefree. A level-headed football player, Miller can always be depended upon on the field. “Walt” is full of spirit, “peppy,” and enthusiastic. He can also handle a choice bit of wit now and then. Football Squad, 4; Spanish Club, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Football, 4. MADELINE NOLL “MADGE” It is nice to be natural when you are naturally nice.” As basketball manager, “Madge” has proven to us her faithfulness by standing with her team through thick and thin. “Madge” is the girl with the “Chivalrous Chevie.” You know—she’ll take you anywhere you want to go. Next year “Madge” intends to radiate her smiles and jollity in Montclair Normal School. Basketball Manager, 4; Girl Reserves, 3, 4; Secretary of Girl Reserves, 4. ESTELLE OSTACHOWSKI “STELL” For it so falls out— That what we have we prize not to the worth IT hiles lie enjoy it. hilt being lack'd and lost, IT hy, then we rack the value; then we find The virtue that possession would not show us IT hiles it was ours.” A class is never complete without a member as quiet as Estelle. We have not been able to see as much of her as we would have liked to because she has come from out of town. She is a conscientious worker and is unusually efficient in stenography and typewriting. ARTHUR PAULMIER “ABIE” “Still water runs deep.” Voted the most dignified member of the Senior Class, “Abie” is a good fellow. A real pianist, he used to favor us with selections in assembly. As an actor, he played the difficult part of sarcastic “Joe Bullit” in our class play, “Seventeen,” to perfection. His grin and quiet laughter will long be remembered by his fellow classmates. Orchestra, 1; French Club, 3; Senior Play, 4. ULF RASMUSSEN “Handsome is as handsome does.” Cast a glance at our best looking male member, the man who directed the construction work for “Seventeen.” His cheery, mischievous disDosition has gained for him innumerable friends. Ulf also has a remarkable ability for dancing which makes him popular with the opposite sex. He is a football player of considerable ability.

Evelyn is known around school as a quiet, studious prirl. Often we have pondered what that perplexed expression on her face means. Yet she is not always serious. She is a bit shy and has kept somewhat in the background, but nevertheless her true worth is recognized and appreciated. Spanish Club, 4. ELSWORTH ROOME “BUCKY” An honest man is the noblest work of God. An ardent supporter of class spirit is Bucky,” who is so quiet we do not always realize he is present at some affair until we need his help. However, you will always find “Bucky” at every game and party. He is willing to take anyone anywhere, at anytime, in his Ford. Among those who know him well, “Bucky” is a “real good fellow.” He is possessed of that calm tranquillity which makes him liked by all who come in contact with his quiet personality. NORWOOD SALMON “NOR” Virtue is bold and goodness never fearful. The kindest fellow in our class, “Nor,” with his steady, unruffled disposition, has always been a good influence among his associates. His portrayal of “Mr. Baxter” in “Seventeen,” as well as his musical ability, has won for him the admiration of the school.

RUTH SALZER “RUTH” '( ith jovial nature shown by gleaming smile She meets each tiny and stops to laugh a while.” Ruth’s jolly, merry personality enlivens those with whom she comes in contact. We have never seen her when she was gloomy or sad. Delighting: in aiding others, Ruth makes friends wherever she goes. Her activities are numerous.

MARY SEMANEK “SALLY” “Quietness great worth conceals.” Sally is very inconspicuous around school, but she is appreciated by those who know her well. A quiet smile and gentle disposition are her outstanding characteristics. We know that her willing cooperation will carry her to the pinnacle of success. WALTER SPARLING “SPINX” “Service is the path to friendship.” Need a helper? Where’s Walter? He’s Johnny-on-the-spot when there's work to be done. He has served faithfully as an usher and efficiently handled the financial end of the Senior play. He goes about his work in a quiet and determined way, and it is always well done. Although he did not participate in athletics, “Spinx” is one of our leading handball players. TK FLORENCE SPRUNG “BABE” “If to your share some errors fall. Look on her face, anil you'll j or get them all.” “Babe” is one of those girls who is always striving for the better things in life. Each day she finds time for a little fun, to get her work well done and to greet you with a smile. We’ve heard she intends to take up nursing as a life’s work. In her white uniform and cap she will surely speed the recovery of her patients. Girl Reserves, 3; Spanish Club, 3. MARGARET STAVELY “PEG” A bit oj seriousness, a bit of jun. And with it all her work's well done.” A good student, a good sport, a good friend, “Peg” is the kind that’s true to her mark.

JOSEPH SVENSON “SWEDE “A merry heart doelh good like a medicine.” You’ll always find “Swede” calm, smiling, and happy. He never worries and is always ready to assist with his rattling good Ford.

DEAN WOLF “A rolling stone gathers no moss, but it acquires a certain polish.” “Another embodiment of that prize-winning combination, the athlete and the student, a necessary element in the class, and above all, the possessor of a pleasing and agreeable personality,” are the feeble attempts of words to describe one who has been a vital working part of our school progress. Dean is an “Expert of all trades,” a scene shifter, paper hanger, blackface comedian, song writer, and efficiency expert.

WILLIAM YANOWSKI “FIRPO” “To talk without effort is, after all, the great charm of talking.” Firpo, the most talkative member of the Senior class, is also our star center on the football team. He puts up a good fight on the football field and was one of the players who helped beat Morristown. As a basketball manager, he can’t be equalled. “Firpo” is also the “watch dog” who guards the Senior Class Treasury, and takes care of it well. As a debater, “Firpo” ought to shine, for he certainly loves to argue. He is one of our most versatile students and a jolly good fellow.

RUTH ZUCKER “RUFIE” Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Do “gentlemen prefer blondes”? Maybe, but if so, it seems that our Ruth is an exception to this rule. Witness her conquests! In fact, Ruth’s charm and sweet smile have won her endless friends. When you hear that contagious giggle you immediately know Ruth is present. Although she is small, she has certainly been a big ray of sunshine in our school life. French Club, 2, 3, 4; Girl Reserves, 1, 2, 3, 4; Wampus, 4; Typist, Year Book, 4.

SEVENTEEN ROSES, trellises and lanterns, lemonade and voiles and white flannels amid the snows of February! Those who came to the three per-' formances of “Seventeen” forgot the blizzard in the fun and frolic of youth, love, and summertime. Do you remember “Jane’s” prayers and her bread and applesauce? And “Willy’s” poetry? Arthur’s “moon-song” and Sam’s serenade? William’s “boomin’ bass” and Roger’s baritone? Viola’s motherliness and Davis’s “dawg”? Not until the play did we discover that our modest Maria could flirt,—that jolly Charles could ever have a temper, —what a fond husband and harassed father Norwood would make,— how pretty Clarisse and Margaret really are,—how fat Elsa could be. But for all the gaiety, the supreme acting of Viola and Victor in the last scene sent us away with a hint of tears behind the laughter. On the last night when the white-haired gentleman in the third row blew his nose and the giggling lady wiped her eyes furtively, we pulled the curtain and beamed at each other with joy. “Seventeen” had been a true success! The unusual success of the play was due primarily to the tireless and faultless coaching of Miss Abbott. The “powers behind the scenes” were the loyal electricians, decorators, architects and managers,— Alonzo. Dean, Salvatore, Ulf and Walter, Rose, Flora, Cecelia, and directing and helping us all—Miss Price. Not acting alone, but Cooperation and Loyalty made “Seventeen” a success. CLASS OF 1929 ON September 7, 1927, the doors of Boonton High School were again opened and it was a well-seasoned class of Juniors that entered, feeling quite at home. After adjusting ourselves to the regular routine of classwork, we discussed the class election. After careful deliberation, we choose the following: President, Walter Herrmann; Vice-President, Ethel Van Duyne; Secretary, Martha Ferguson, and Treasurer, Richard Hennessy. The class elected as representatives to the Student Regalian Council, Elizabeth Lucas, Marion Blanchard, and Walter Herrmann. After a short time, we began to center our interest on the sport of the season, football. Boonton High cheered the team with the same good spirit as it always has shown. We had members on the first team and were represented on the second team by Pifer, Jacobus, Allen, and Snowhill. Those from our class who were elected to the staff of our school paper, “The Wampus,” were Marion Blanchard, George Snowhill, Fred Bednar, Archie Galloway, and Donald Scandlin. On Friday evening, October 28th, the class had a unique Hallowe’en Costume Party. The “Gym” presented a perfect setting with a color scheme of orange and black and decorations of cornstalks and pumpkin lanterns. Dancing and games furnished fun and Charlie’s Collegians played. Prizes were given to the following: funniest costume, Otto Fenn; best costumes, Jean Crothmel and Dorothy Scandlin. When the successful football season had ended, boy’s and girl’s basketball became prominent. The first important event in this particular sport was the Girls’ Inter-class Series, which was won by our class. We first played the Seniors, then the Freshman and lastly the Sophomores. Frances Randall, Alberta Vreeland, Dorothy Wolfson, Marion Blanchard, Marie Cooney, Hazel O’Connor, and Clara Troupe won their class numerals on this team. After much arduous and tiresome practicing, the coaches choose the boys’ and girls’ varsity basketball teams. The strength of the Junior Girls was felt on the first team and the help of Frances Randall and Florence Lucas as “subs” was appreciated. Those choosen from our class for the boys’ basketball team were: Rudy Pifer, first team, and Ralph Jacobus, Martin Flaherty, and Frank Zayac on the second team. On Friday, February 17th, the jolly Juniors gave a Card Party in the “Gym,” and the affair was a great success, earning for us about fifty dollars, which is to be used for the Junior Prom. We have worked loyally and played joyously this year. May an equally eager, energetic spirit carry us through to those dim but not so distant days of “Seniority.” oA.au CLASS OF 1930 THE beginning of the school year 1927-28 found us no longer green Freshmen but Sophomores ready to help our school on to greater achievements. At our first meeting Miss Evans and Miss Hall, our new class advisors, supervised the election of officers, which resulted as follows: President, John E. Dunn; Vice-President, Harriet Griffith; Secretary, Bertha Blanchard; Treasurer, Henry Cole; Representatives to the Student Council: Emil Hornick and Bertha Blanchard, with Harriet Griffith and Ethel Behrman as alternates. The first sport on the program was football, into which the Sophomores threw themselves with usual enthusiasm by sending many members to the first and second teams. After our successful football season basketball practice began and here again the Sophomores did their best. On the first Debating Team we had Emil Hornick, while Fred Burns and Amy Isaacs spoke on the second team. The Sophs were represented on the girls’ undefeated basketball team by Bertha Blanchard and Ethel Behrman who, while not on the varsity, proved themselves ready for emergencies by their splendid showing whenever called upon. The Sophomores had the honor of winning the inter-class football championship this year. A novel and interesting party was given in December, the Col-legeate Regalia. Several short sketches were presented by the members of our class. The entire affair was representative of a sport dance, the girls all wearing appropriate attire. On the 27th of April the Sophomores put across a very successful Hop which was supported by the entire school. The gym Was artistically decorated with pastel streamers and flowers, portraying an afternoon social. We also have pledged $75 to the Athletic Improvement Fund. Everyone has cooperated to make this another banner year for our class. THE CMSS OF 131 THE entrance of a banner Freshman class started a new chapter in the history of Boonton High last September. Among its members there are many who have received well-known awards, such as the Legion Medal, awarded for high scholarship, courage, honor, service, and leadership. These winners have come from various schools: Fred Reeves and Jean Baldwin from the Boon- ton Grammar school, Alex Creatura and Anna Cooney from the Boonton Parochial school. The freshman will also have a voice in athletics. Joe Maraziti, a star on the grammar school track team, will no doubt heln his High School on to further honors. Fred Reeves and Harold Birmingham were on the football squad, while Helen Auregemma, Jean Baldwin and Dorothy Scandlin bid fair to carry Boonton’s colors in basketball. The freshman have shown brightly in interclass games so far. Grammar school stars such as Clarice Cornich, who has several trophies to her credit; Dorothy Scandlin, Ruth Block, and others are well on the road to success as High School athletes. Freshman have also held their own admirably in scholarship with honor students to be proud of in Duane Minard, Jack Sillick, Parke Johnson, and James Kingsley. Among those prominent in the school organizations we find many freshman with commendable records—on the Wampus Staff, the Student Council, and the Orchestra. The Latin, Girl Reserves, Spanish and Glee Clubs also have within their membership many able freshman workers. When we recall the successful “Get-Acquainted” party held in the fall, the Freshman Minstrel, and the annual Freshman Party, we see a class both ambitious and enterprising, destined to carry on the examples of good feeling and achievement set before it. Under the supervision of Mr. Lotter, the helpful advice and effort of Miss McCloskey, Miss Palmer, and Miss Jeffrey, the home room teachers, and the cooperation of the class with its officers, the freshman have already become prominent in all phases of the High School regime. The remaining three years will pass too soon, but there is no doubt that the class will make the most of their high school career.

FOOTBALL 1927 ON November 19th Boonton High’s football team led by Captain Carl “Hack” Wilson, coached by James Rea, and backed by many rooters, went to Morristown to accomplish a never-to-be-forgotten feat. Boonton, this year, had a better chance than ever before to defeat Morristown and the players were set on a victory. The first quarter ended with neither side scoring, and at the end of the first half Boonton and Morristown were still deadlocked at 0 to 0. At the end of the third quarter it began to look as though neither team would score. In the last quarter Captain Wilson broke through and blocked a punt near Morristown’s goal line, and Boonton recovered the ball. Three line plays were tried, but the ball was not over. Quarter-back Hennessey then called for a line buck from an open formation. Tucker hit the center of the line for Boonton’s first score in a Morristown game and this tally was enough, for Boonton held Morristown for the remainder of the period and won the first football victory over Morristown in the history of football at Boonton. The team functioned perfectly, every fellow doing his job well. Morristown never had a chance to score, while the “breaks” of the game kept Boonton’s score down. Boonton’s rooters went wild with joy and after much opposition brought down Morristown’s goal posts and took them to Boonton. That night a large bonfire was made, and this fire furnished light for the souvenir hunter to get his piece of the historical goal posts. Boonton opened her season with Belleville at Boonton. The boys fought hard, but Belleville managed to gain a 7 to 0 victory. Other victories were gained—over Hackettstown, 7—0; Butler, 18—0; Glen Ridge, 7—0; Westfield, 20—0, and Roxbury, 27—6. The second defeat was received at the hands of Madison, 21—13. This game was featured by Beraidino’s brilliant runback of a kick-off for a touchdown. Boonton won two places on the all-county team. Captain Wilson was awarded a tackle position and Beraidino an end position. Beraidino was selected all-state end on the Class B team of Northern New Jersey. Beraidino is the first Boonton football player to make the first all-state team, and the school is proud of him.

This year’s team has kept unbroken the string of victories started by its predecessors. The most outstanding victory of this year’s team was that over Butler in the third game with them after playing two ties. Newton, Somerville, and Nutley were three other teams of high standing who met defeat through the skillful playing of our squad. Under the competent managership of Clarisse Winter and Madeline Noll, together with the efficient coaching of Miss Reid, our girls have established an enviable record.

YANOWSKY, Manager WITH seven letter men back, Boonton High was represented on the court by one of the strongest teams in recent years. We reached the finals in the county series and the semi-finals in the state tournament. Boonton opened her season with a decisive victory over Paterson Prep., followed by another win over the alumni. Next we dropped a hotly contested game to Dover. The team then started on a winning streak defeating in succession such strong quintets as Dover, Harrison, Butler, Nutley, Kingsley Prep., and Woodbridge. Our second setback was sustained at the hands of Nutley, whom we had previously defeated on their own court. We next conquered Rock-away, this year’s county Class B champions. In the first round of the county series Boonton swamped Dover. In the finals we were defeated by Morristown. Our first opponent in the state tournament was Dover, whom we again easily vanquished. We were eliminated in the semifinals by Ridgefield Park, our late rally falling short of victory. Boonton closed a most successful season with wins over Paterson Prep., Rockaway, and Butler. Due to the excellent coaching of Mr. Rea, the team passed through an unusually hard schedule in splendid form.

O, COVELL, Coach JOSEPH SVENSON, Manatjer UNDER the capable leadership of our captain, John Ackerman, our track team of 1927 completed a very successful season, winning the annual triangular meet with Madison and Chatham as well as placing second to Morristown in the county meet. At Madison, Captain Ackerman added the high jump and broad jump to his list of victories. Wolf placed first in the 100, 220, and shot-put, besides taking second in the broad jump, thereby winning high scoring honors of the meet. In the pole vault Koval and Hillery placed first and third, respectively. Other members of our team competed successfully, White placing in the dashes, Driggs in the half-mile, Dunn in the shot-put, Crothamel in the 440, Emerick in the mile, and Makosky, Porter, and Betz in the high jump. In the county meet Ackerman won both the high jump and the broad jump, breaking the county record in the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet 31 2 inches. Wolf placed second in the 100 and third in the 220, Makosky third in the high jump, Crothamel fourth in the 220, and Hillery fourth in the pole vault.

Sanderson, was another championship team. The boys easily won the County championship with the splendid record of eight victories and no defeats. They were also tied with two other teams for the Class B championship of Northern New Jersey. As Boonton and Morristown have both won the baseball trophy twice, its permanent possession will no doubt be decided this year. In the opening game, played at Belleville, Boonton nosed out Belleville 11-10 by virtue of an early lead. In our next game, Makosky held Netcong to one hit and clouted a long home run over the center field fence. Boonton won easily. Madison, our first opponent at home, proved no match for Boonton, who scored a 14-2 victory. Butler and Wharton were both easy for Boonton, the former being on the short end of a 14-1 score and the latter losing 20-1. Both games were played away. Boonton scored her first shut-out over Chatham, at Chatham, with Makosky applying the whitewash. “Dins” held them to one hit, Boonton winning 3-0. Boonton had some difficulty defeating Rockaway, 2-1, at Rockaway. The Dover game at Dover was close. Boonton trailed until late in the game when she forged ahead to win 7-6. The second home game of the season was played with Bayley who was defeated 7-3. Boonton’s big game was with Morristown at Morristown. Boonton took the lead early in the game, but Morristown came back strong and went ahead. Aided with homers by Beraidino and Makosky, Boonton tied the score in the ninth and won in the thirteenth.

THE FORUM WITH the reorganization of the Forum in September came a flock of new members with many new ideas. Our officers, who had been elected the previous spring, were Salvatore Maraziti, president; Viola Goerner, vice-president; and Rose Maraziti, secretary. Our aims have been to further interest in debating and to promote scholarship, our club having the highest scholastic standard in the school. We have held interesting discussions, talks on debating, mock trials, and debates. A large majority of our members went out for the trial debates from which the Boonton High debate teams were chosen. As representatives to the Rutgers Inter-Scholastic League Conference, we sent Rose Maraziti, Salvatore Maraziti, and Archie Galloway, together with Mr. Killian, our faculty advisor, and Miss Palmer, debate coach. Our meetings have been varied and purposeful as well as entertaining, and we feel that with the close of its second year the Forum has gained for itself a permanent place in the activities of our school.

THE WAMPUS STAFF WITH all due respect and honor to those who have paved the way; those who were great because they were founders, we do claim for the Wampus that this has been a bigger, better, and more successful year than ever before. For the first time since the founding of the school paper, it has been published entirely by students. Under a capable staff, with Viola Goerner as editor-in-chief, and Miss McCloskey as adviser, a new step has been taken in editing the paper. There were no advertisements, but new departments were created, such as a book report column, cartoons. and a mail-box. Through the sincere efforts of the editor and the cooperation of the staff, the paper appeared bi-monthly instead of monthly. Although several members will be lost through graduation there are several efficient workers remaining to carry on for next year.

The officers consist of a President, Victor Kowalewski; Vice-President, William Spreen; Secretary, Doris Seymour; Treasurer, Ruth Salzer. The Spanish Teacher, Miss Hall, acts as adviser. Our pins are inscribed with the Spanish Coat of Arms, and the name of the Club in orange and red. Spain’s national colors. To foster an appreciation of the Spanish language and to familiarize the students with the customs and habits of Spain are the general aims of this organization. Some of the many activities of the club are the learning of Spanish songs, music, dances, and the composing of Spanish poetry. Various social affairs are held for the benefit of its members and their friends. One novel social function is a supper given for the members, consisting of Spanish food. The most important event of the club which took place in 1928 was the Spanish Party. This turned out to be a remarkable success. Among the notable features were the Spanish decorations and the entertainments rendered by some of the Spanish Club members, among which were the Spanish tango and other dances. The more advanced Spanish students in the club wrote to the Pan-American Union at Washington and so obtained correspondence with other high school students in Spanish speaking countries.

Formerly, any French students could belong to “Le Cercle Francais,” but this year we limited membership to second and third year students, thus giving members a better chance to understand proceedings carried on in French. We elected very efficient officers, our president being Viola Goerner; vice-president, Mary Ann Huelser; secretary, Margaret Stavely; and treasurer, Walter Herrmann. Meetings are held every two weeks. Our aims have been to promote further ability to speak French, to evoke more interest in French customs and affairs, and to further interest in the subject of French as taught in our school. At Christmas we held a lively party at which “Bunco” was the chief amusement. Another party just after the mid-year exams afforded a great deal of fun.

DEBATE TEAM ON Friday night, March 9th, we again met our old rival, Butler, in a debate on the question: “Resolved: That the Verdict of Three Judges Replace the Jury Decision.” Boonton upheld the negative. Doctor Hulsart, County Superintendent, presided, with Professor Dwyer, of New York University, acting as judge. Our leader, Salvatore Maraziti, proved that the proposed plan is unnecessary. Rose Maraziti, our second speaker, showed that the three judge-jury would produce serious evils and undesirable results. Archie Galloway, our third speaker, proved that the plan is impractical. The efficiency and cooperation of our alternate, Emil Hornick, made him a valuable asset to the team. Our rebuttal was well handled by our leader, Salvatore Maraziti. The judge’s explanation of the decision showed that many points were in favor of our side. Miss Palmer and Mr. Killian are to be commended for their excellent coaching. j Due to the indefatigable efforts of Charles Batemen and the willing cooperation of the student body, the songs and cheers were excellent. We are grateful to Miss Price, whose able management insured the success of the debate as a whole. USHERS Top row, Icjl to rif hl: Mr. Evans. Archie Galloway, Norwood Salmon, Victor Kowalcwski. Bottom row: Walter Sparling, Davis Harbeson, Roger Kings land, Donald Scandlin. THE USHERS WE HAVE witnessed this year the first organized group of ushers in Boonton High School. At the request of Mr. Boyer, the group was formed early in the fall under the advisership of Mr. Evans. At our first meeting Roger Kingsland was elected head usher with Archie Galloway as assistant and Donald Scandlin as secretary. It is the duty of this organization to usher at all school affairs, to distribute song books at all assemblies, and to be of any service which will benefit the school. The ushers have done great things in a great way. Their services have been recognized and appreciated by the students and many visitors who have come to our school during the past year. We hope that such an organization will continue in the years to come. LIBRARY STAFF Stumlinti, Icjl to rit hl: John Dunn. John Ackerman, Aurel Pctrasek, Joseph Svenson.

LIBRARY STAFF THIS year, for the first time, we have realized what a big factor in the life of our school a well-organized Library is. Managed by a group of responsible students under the supervision of Miss Jeffrey, our High School Library has become a larger and more efficient organization than it has ever been before. The number of books available has increased twofold; current magazines and a daily newspaper have been added. Reference work and a large variety of fiction have been obtained from the Morris County Circulating Library. The Library has been kept open every period throughout the day. Teachers and students together have cooperated to make it a place where one can quietly and usefully spend one’s spare time supplementing classroom instructions and becoming acquainted with books (man’s truest and most worthwhile friends). Next year, pending the removal of the present library to larger quarters, we hope that the progress made this year will be continued and that its effectiveness will be increased.

THE QIRL RESERVES UNDER the supervision of Mrs. Evans and the leadership of Clarisse Winter, president; Mary Ann Huelser, vice-president; Madeline Noll, secretary, and Marie Morris, treasurer, the Girl Reserves have accomplished a great deal of good for the school as well as for their members. They have donated dinners to poor families at Thanksgiving time and have also filled Christmas stockings. In conjunction with the Hi-Y they found time to sponsor a concert by the New York University Band, a part of the proceeds going into the Athletic Fund. While the purpose of the Girl Reserves is primarily a serious one. the members succeed in having good times at their social functions and their meetings.

HE fourth year in the life of the Hi-Y Club of Boonton High School found Mr. Evans, advisor, and Arthur Higgins, president. Four new members were added to the eleven already in the club. The organization has had many speakers, among whom was Mr. Ernest Bartell, the center on Princeton Varsity football team for 1926. and now the general secretary of the Philadelphian Society of Princeton. The club has been represented at the Princeton conference, and a special honor was bestowed on the club when Norwood Salmon was chosen president of the Morris County Older Boys’ Christian Conference, held at Mountain Lakes, March 14th, 15th, and 16th. One of their latest projects was carried out in conjunction with the Girl Reserves. The New York University Band was procured to entertain a Boonton audience. The proceeds were appropriated to the Athletic Improvement Fund. The whole-hearted cooperation and interest displayed by the members account for its high status in the school. hi-t club “SENATUS” Top raw. left to right: Kathleen Boyce, Bertha Blanchard, Florence Bogardus, Ruth Block, David Galloway, Donald Scandlin, Daniel Hanlon, Colon Campbell, Marjorie Cecil, Lucy Benjamin.

Every other Monday the citizens of the commonwealth assemble to enjoy Latin games, debates, playlets, and usually a miniature banquet. Most attractive awards of Roman purple script “Senatus,” are presented to those worthy citizens who have benefited the commonwealth to the extent of fifty points. Enjoyable times have been had, and under the supreme dictatorship of Domina Evans we know the “Senatus” will continue to be of service to its members and to the school.
