Crooks, whose efforts and enterprise during the past three years have been of inestimable value to ou r success, we, the Senior Class, gratefully dedicate Echoes of 1929 1 5BOARD OF 6DUCATION MR. HARRY WOOTTON.......President MR. FRANK HOPKINS MR. THKODORE STEIN METZ MR. JOSEPH MONTGOMERY MR. AUGUST MOLLER MR. JOHN B. HOWELL MR. DANIEL PARKS MR. RAY DAWSON MR. CHESTER GORDON M. BURK MANN JANUARY 1,1 tlie East and the West held their annual contest in football. Captain-elect Riegels, of California, grabbed the ball and ran seventy yards —towards the WRONG GOAL. Three-fourths of our entire population who “listened in” on this game, or read about it, had a hearty laugh at this unfortunate performance. All of which makes one think of the number of persons in high school and in college, in the professions and in business, who are running the Wrong Way—some for seven years, some for seventy. In fact, such blunders are so common, so ordinary, that people do not laugh at them any more. Moral: Before you grab the ball, look around, locate your goal, and then head straight towards IT. M. BURR MANN. EMPKROR MAIU’IS Al'RKLIl'S in his “Meditations” speaks thus of his indebtedness to his various teachers : “From . . . Verus I learned good morals and the government of my temper; from mv father, modesty and manly character; from Appolonius, freedom of will, undeviating steadiness of purpose and how to receive from friends what are esteemed favors, without being humbled by them or letting them pass unnoticed; from Alexander, to refrain from faultfinding; from Maximus, self-government, not to be led aside by anything, cheerfulness in all circumstances, and to do what was set before me without complaining.” Not all knowledge is to be secured from books. We hope that from associations with teachers and fellow students you have derived some of the benefits w hich mold and develop good character, a priceless asset. F A C U I.

THE FACULTY We’ve a faculty lu re, efficient and true, Who can teach us most anything, old or new. Mr. Mann is the first whom we’d like you to meet: Mis presence in assembly is really a treat. Mr. Boyer, our principal, has plenty of pep, And with all new ideas he keeps right in step. Miss Crooks, our advisor, spends her time teaching French. Miss Kemcndo teaches Spanish at the poor students’ expense. Mr. Booth and Mr. Spurway put debating on the map; And Miss Nickerson’s orchestra has never lost its snap. Mr. Hillary works with hammer and w ith saw. Miss Saunders teaches bookkeeping, geography, and law. Mr. Cardinal in his office checking absentees, works. Miss Evans, of Latin, explains all the queer quirks. When it comes to debate cheers, Miss Price is right there; And the library is Miss Jeffrey’s great care. Mr. Evans has coached a strong w inning team. Miss Palmer likes “math”, strange as to us it docs seem. In our English Miss Abbott would have us excel. Miss McCloskey has many a story to tell. M iss Davis just loves to make good things to eat, Miss Wilcox’s appearance is always so neat. Miss Moffitt’s typing surely has speed; And basketball is coached by our stunning Miss Reid. Mrs. Borck sketches oak trees on a green hill; And the boys take athletics from Coach E. C. Grill. Beloved by all is our faculty group Who have struggled so long with this Senior troupe.

STUDENT COUNCIL WALTER HERRMANN...............President JEAN BALDWIN................Secretary BERTHA BLANCHARD,... Vice-President WILLIAM SPREEN..................Treasurer ON’ SEPTEMHER 18, 1928, the representatives of the classes to the Student Council elected the officers for 1928-29. Mr. Spurway was again faculty ad visor, and the Council looked forward to another successful year. The representatives of the Senior Class were Elizabeth Lucas, Marion Blanchard, Walter Herrmann, William Sprecn, and Fred Bednar. The Juniors were represented by Bertha Blanchard, Harriet Griffith, Reynar Meadowcroft, and Emil Hornick. Bennie Fischler, David Galloway, and Jean Baldwin represented the Sophomores. Wesley Van Duyne represented the Freshmen. IN e started the year by adopting a budget of $1,330 on which we planned to cover expenses for all our school activities. 'I'lie Council arranged several new school events. At the beginning of the year we had an assembly at which S. R. A. tickets were sold in the best “New ork Stock Exchange” manner. This novel plan proved to he very successful. 'I’lie school picnic, we hope, will become an established tradition. To arouse enthusiasm among the townspeople ns well as students, a parade was planned and carried out prior to the Morristown-Boonton football game. To celebrate this game, a dance was given in the gym on November 24 and was attended by a great number of both Boonton and Morristown students. All these undertakings show that the Council endeavors to promote more interest and school spirit among all the students. With the cooperation of all members and the willing assistance of Mr. Spur-wav, our faculty advisor, we hope that this year has been as profitable to the school as the preceding years have been.

BEDNAR President of Senior Claes “One is never known till hr is proved. SOME foolish wise man stated somewhere that tlie Senior Year in high school was one of leisure. Fred evidently never read those lines, or else he did not believe them. The Senior Class has one great goal—to print a bigger and better year book. Any success which the Class of 1929 has had in its Senior Year is due in a large measure to the energy and earnestness of Fred. He has devoted himself earnestly and sincerely to his task of guiding the interests of the Senior Class. Fred is like a speed boat with an underwater exhaust—he accomplishes a great deal with very little noise. He has carried the responsibilities of Senior Class President and Editor-in-Chief of “Echoes of 1929,” has maintained a high scholastic standing, and in addition has shone on the football field.

W1 JUNIORS Wl’ ALL trooped back to school on September 8, 1928, determined to make this year our banner year. Our officers had been elected at the close of the last semester and were immediately installed in office. President, Edward Reynolds; Vicp-President, Helen Charlton; Secretary, Catherine O’Brien; and 'Treasurer, William Ritchie. Our S. It. A. representatives were Harriet Griffith, Bertha Blanchard, Reynar Meadow croft, and Emil Hornick. The alternate was William Ritchie. Miss Price’s appointment as Faculty Advisor was both a pleasant surprise and an assurance of a successful year. When Miss Jeffrey appointed the School Librarians, it was to he noticed that out. of the seven, four were chosen from the Junior Class. They were Lillian Isaacs, Catherine O’Brien, Harriet Griffith, and Bertha Blanchard. Wl len cooler weather arrived, the football men were selected. The Junior Class was well represented both on the Varsity and Second Team. Out of the group of Junior candidates for the teams, Frank Makovsky, James Twaits, Gene Penn, John Dunn, Louis Ebert, James Estler and Stanley Bently were selected for the arsity Team; Joseph Makovsky and Walter Stable for the Second Team. Gerald Burns was Assistant Football Manager. W e are proud to have as a member of our class, Frank Makovsky, the only four-letter man in the school. 'The Junior Class and Boonton High School were represented in the Inter-scholastic Speech Contest at Newark by Harriet Griffith. When basketball season rolled around all attention was, of course, concentrated on this activity which holds a very prominent place in Boonton High. 'The boys from our class on the Varsity Basketball Team are: Milton Block, Frank Makovsky, Joseph Makovsky, and Stanley Bently. Frank Martone and Arthur Miller are on the Second Team. Fred Burns is manager of the Boys’ Team. Bertha Blanchard and Ethel Berhman are members of the Girls’ Squad. Lillian Isaacs is Assistant Manager of the team. Three members of the Junior Class on the Wampus Staff who have contributed to the success of the paper are Amy Isaacs, Mary I’ettretti, and Emil Hornick. Amy Isaacs, Fred Bums, David Mastin, and Emil Hornick were selected from the Junior Class for the Debate Teams. Our goal this year was the Junior Prom, and the class immediately started planning for a Card Party as a means of raising money. The work of the committees was not in vain as the party was very well attended. Following the precedent of last year’s class, the Prom was held in the Elks’ Clubhouse. A melodious orchestra, beautiful girls, soft lights, streamers all these contributed to our last official gesture as Juniors.

THE CLASS OF 1931 A LI HOI (xll we became Sophomores staggering under the load of a renowned reputation for originality, ] ep, high scholastic standing, and good w ill, we knew that we must keep busy to keep ahead of the other classes which are brilliant and clever as all B. II. S. classes are. To lead our class we elected the following officers: President, Joseph Maraziti; ice-President, Lucy Meyer; Secretary, Jean Baldwin ; and Treasurer, Harry Hinnershitz. Our representatives to the Student Council were Bennie Fischlor, David Galloway, and Jean Baldwin. In order to uphold the reputation which we made by giving our Freshman Minstrel, we determined to make this year’s Hop one of the greatest successes ever put forth by a Sophomore class. To pave the way to our Hop we presented three one-act plays—Cinderella Married, Station Y Y Y Y, and Green Chartreuse, which were very successfully presented, due to the capable coaching of Miss Saunders and the untiring assistance of Miss Jeffrey and Miss Evans. Among those who were leaders in scholarship were Bennie Fischler, John Silliek, Eleanor ( rowell, Julia Sumfest, Edna Hitchcock, and James Kingsley. Chose representing us in athletics were Harold Birmingham, Helen Auri-gemma, Jean Baldwin, Dorothy Merriman, Helen Headley, Joseph Maraziti, and Alexander Creatura. The Sophomores took very active parts in all other school activities, including the Debate Team, Wampus Staff, Orchestra, Latin Club, Forum, and Cheering Squad. Of course the Juniors may boast of their Prom as “the dance” of the year, but the Sophomore Hop this year was most memorable. Not quite as formal as the Prom—and yet just ns many beautiful girls to set a young man’s heart pounding—an orchestra which bewitched your feet—such was our Sophomore Hop. Two years of life in B. II. S. have slipped by. We have reached the half-way mark. 'Die goal is in sight. Now’s the time to start our sprint!

Members from the Boonton Parochial, Lincoln Park, Towaco, Montville, Mountain View, Troy Hills, Parsippany, Mountain Lakes, and Taylor Town schools have been added to the Boonton Grammar School graduates to make up this Freshman Class. The American Legion Medals for scholarship, courage, honor, service, and leadership were awarded to Lois Spreen and Ralph Jones of the Boonton Grammar School, and to Julia Dunn and Joseph McCormick of the Boonton Parochial School. Among the others who have won various awards were Edith Jaffe, Kathryn Wilson, and Frances Nagel. The Boonton Grammar School Girls’ Basketball Team won the cup for the County Championship. The second week of school we met to elect our class officers. At this meeting, the following officers were elected: President, Lois Spreen; Vice-President, Howard White; Secretary, I.c Roy Estler; Treasurer, Leon Burchardt; Delegate to the Student Regalian Association, Wesley Van Duyne; Alternate, Dorothy Charlton. The first thing we undertook in the early part of the year was a Barn Party. This party was held in the gym for the purpose of getting acquainted and proved to he a great success. The gym was decorated with corn stalks, pumpkins, and orange and black streamers. The girls were dressed as farmerettes while the boys were dressed as farmers. The costumes were very effective and fitted in very well with the decorations. Our class is also taking its part in school athletics. “Dud” Noll, who played on the Varsity Football Squad, was awarded a letter. He scored several touchdowns and did his part to help the team win. Edward Baldwin also “went out” for football. Although he did not make his letter this year, we are sure he will do so next year. On the Girls’ Basketball Squad we have Lois Spreen, Irene Baldwin, Stella Schultz, and Yetta Yanowsky. Of the boys of our class, Wesley Van Duyne and Carl Francisco are on the Boys’ Basketball Squad. The Class of ’8J£ had three of five members on the Cheering Squad. The Freshman Trio, as these three cheer-leaders are called, are Lois Spreen, Irene Baldwin, and Dorothy Charlton. This class is also represented on the Debating Team. Constance Peterson was selected as an alternate. We, the members of the Class of 1982, hope to make the best of our high school years, and to meet or surpass the standards set by the classes before us.

MEET EVANS, Court, DONALD SCANDLIN, Manager UNDER the coaching of Mr. Evans, a team composed of an untried line and a varsity backfield, developed into one of the finest ever to represent lioonton. The season opened at Bernardsville, where the line showed unusual power, and the backfield play was featured by many Ion runs. Eranklin, Madison, Butler, and Glen Ridge were met and defeated in the next four games. The team set a record for other Boonton teams to follow, making seventeen touchdowns to the opponents’ two. With three of our varsity men injured, we traveled to Hasbrouck Heights and were defeated, for the first and only time this season, by the score of eight to nothing. But one of the biggest days in the history of Boonton football came when we held Morristow n for four dow ns on our one yard line. This game showed the true fighting spirit of Boonton, and proved the saying that “a chain is no stronger than its weakest link.” Boonton had no weak links, but a well-balanced team, every man deserving of his position. On Thanksgiving Day we played the last game of the season against Rockaway. Again the game was a thriller. The first half ended with the score 6 to (3. In the second half Rockaway made a touchdown, and held this lead until the last four minutes of play, w hen Boonton flashed a wonderful offensive to win the game 20 to 12. Our team was judged to be the best defensive team in the county and in the Class B selection of the state. We are proud to say that we had three men on the all county team: Tucker, Bednar, and Bently. Boonton came through with six victories, was defeated once, and was tied once. This is a record to he proud of and a standard for other Boonton teams to carry on.

With the regular Varsity: Germaine Guitun, Martha Ferguson, Helen Aurigemma, Mary Ann Huelser, Dorothy Van Duync, and Ethel Berhman, the team went through a strenuous season with but two defeats. The return game with Butler was probably the only one of its kind ever played. Last year, as old fans will remember, after two ties, a third game was required to show Boonion’s supremacy. This year after one tie, Boonton beat Butler by the score of 20 to 22 in the hardest fought game of the season. This is the first time the girls have beaten Hasbrouck Heights. This victory came as a result of steady practice, real cooperation, and good coaching. The team, Miss lleid, and Marion Blanchard, deserve a great deal of credit. To keep up the precedent, the team has made the school and town proud of it. VARSITY R. F.—Germaine Guiton I,. F. Helen Aurigemma L. G.—Martha Ferguson .1. C.—Dorothy Van Duync R. G.—Ethel Berhman S.

It was a pleasure to watch the pass work of this team which spoke well for the coaching. We opened our season against the Alumni with a win, and the team play was exceedingly smooth for the first game. Our second game against Harrison, lost by the score of 20 to 18, was one of the fastest games of the season. After beating Hockaway 81 to lf� , Hoonton lost to Dover, Xetcong, Nutley, and Harrison. Hoonton then came through and defeated Butler by the score of 41 to 15 and Dover by 85 to 28. Makovskv made 22 points in the Butler game. Other defeats were administered by Kingsley, Hasbrouck Heights, and Nutley, but in the county series, Hoonton defeated Madison on their own court by tbe score of 26 to 20. In the finals of the county series, we were defeated by Morristown, 22 to 10. We are proud to say that Captain Pifcr led the forwards in scoring during the county series, and that Makovsky led the centers. Lyndhurst was defeated by an inspired Boonton team in the first round of the State Tournament.

Boonton won the Triangular Meet, scoring -I.1) points fo Madison’s 41 2-3 and Chatham’s 1 1-3. Wolf led in point scoring, winning the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and placing second in the hroad jump, and third in the high jump. Ackerman won the broad and high jumps. The relay team, composed of Ackerman, S. Maraziti, J. Maraziti, and Wolf, ran second in the half mile relay at the Kearny State Championship Relay Meet. The County Meet was won by Morristown. Boonton was second. This meet was featured by Ackerman’s high and broad jumping, in which he took first places. In the New Jersey State Meet, held at Newark on June 2, Ackerman set a new state record for the high jump with a jump of 5 feet, 9 inches. Boonton finished her season at Summit. Boonton won, scoring 44 points to Summit’s 27. This record is exceptional, because Boonton started with hut four letter men.

EVANS, Coach ARTHUR HIGGINS, Manager INLAYING excellent hull throughout the season, the baseball team of ’28 under the leadership of Captain Duffield and the coaching of Air. Evans, again tied for the Northern New Jersey Class B title. In the opening game the team showed unusual strength by defeating Nutley 10 to 5. Dover was unable to hit the Boonton pitchers effectively and were defeated fi to 0. Against St. Joseph’s of Paterson, however, the Boonton fielding and batting lagged. 'Phe team play was ragged throughout, and Boonton emerged at the wrong end of a 15 to 0 score. ’Pile next three games showed a great improvement in the fielding and hitting, and we defeated Franklin, Madison, and Franklin again. Our second and last defeat of the season was suffered at the hands of Morristown. In one of the most exciting games ever played in the county, Morristown scored two runs on errors and won 2 to 0. Makovsky struck out nineteen men during the game. We then defeated Sussex, Woodhridge, and West New York, finishing the season with 8 wins and 2 defeats. During the season Makovsky struck out 91 men out of a possible 162, hatted .525, and made the most base hits with 21. Pifer, our other pitcher, won four games out of four, and hatted .258. Our prospects are excellent for 1929 with both of these pitchers back and three infield men, a catcher, several outfielders, and many new recruits.

COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN” THE Senior (’lass lias come and gone “Out of the Kitchen,’’ hut the memories of those three nights are still vivid. Olivia Dangerfield—alias Jane Ellen—the cook, quite captivated the heart of Burton Crane, the hero from the North. An Irish brogue, a demure air, and sparkling eyes were quite enough to capture even the heart of pompous Lawyer Tucker, and of the hustling, bustling real-estate agent, Mr. Handy Weeks ; but in winning Burton Crane’s heart, she lost her own. Pert and peppery Araminta expounded her ideas of a “real” ladv to haughty Mrs. Falkner, who with her rather independent daughter Cora, was the guest of Mr. Crane. Who will ever forget the sudden, simultaneous entrance of Mainly, Olivia’s mammy, and Mr. Lefferts, a would-be poet? Smithfield and Brindlebury, the male members of the Dangerfield family, made everyone’s sides shake with laughter. But most of all, every member of the class will remember the hard work of M iss Crooks, the able coaching of Miss Abbot, and the kind help of Mr. “Billy” Meadowcroft.

Ten years later, in 19SJ7, Boonton again won the championship. Tliis year we have won another championship. This championship, however, was achieved by the work of two teams debating in a league composed of Butler, Newton, and Boonton. Each school in this league supported two teams -a negative and an affirmative. The first debate resulted in a clean sweep for Boonton. Our negative team defeated Newton’s affirmative team at Newton, while our affirmative team defeated Butler’s negative team at Boonton. The next series of debates resulted in a victory for our negative team over Butler s affirmative team, while our affirmative team, debating at Newton, lost a close debate to Newton’s negative team. Thus, out of a possibility of four victories, our team won three. The question for all debates was: ltesolved, that the Installment Plan of Buying is Detrimental to the Best Interests of the American People. Hoonton’s affirmative team was composed of Elizabeth London, leader; Fred Burns, Joseph Maraziti, and Bennie Fischler. 'Phis team was coached by Mr. Spurwav. Emil Hornick led the negative team, and had as his team-mates Amy Isaacs, David Mastin, and Constance Peterson, 'l’his team was coached by Mr. Booth. _ Our prospects for next year seem bright, as only one member of this year’s team graduates. We predict another successful season in debate in 1980. EL CENTRO ESPANOI. Slandlnp. top row: .1. Wilson, L. Grossman, F. Burns, A. Thiele, E. Koome, K. Lucas, C. Bott, W. Ketay, G. Knorr, 1,.

So many first-year Spanish students applied for membership that we had to exclude all first-year students until mid-years ; and then select only the best students. El Centro Espanol enjoys such an enviable reputation in Boon ton High since its recognition as an official club by the Student Council that we have had to toil in order not to lower the club’s standing. We made a good start when we elected William Spreen, President; Doris Seymour, Vice-President; Fred Bednar, Treasurer; Lillian Brown, Secretary; and appointed Martin Flaherty and Alberta Vreeland as an Entertainment Committee. Devoted to the advancement of better understanding of Spanish and Spanish-speaking people, our club had a most successful year. L K ( E It C L E F H A NCAI S Top row: H. Hinnershitz, E. Dickinson, H.

The following officers were elected: President, Walter Herrmann; Vice-President, Emil Hornick; Treasurer, Harriet Griffith; Secretary, Elizabeth London. Membership in “Le Cercle Francais” is limited to those who have studied French for at least one year. The aims of the club are to create an interest in the French language and customs. The school remembers with a laugh the little peasant girl who spoke in the S. R. A. Assembly early in the year about “ze good times in ze Boonton High School.” • At the New Year's party many games, French and otherwise, were thoroughly enjoyed, and the party broke up most reluctantly. A theater party went to see “The Would-Be Gentleman”, an English version of Moliere’s “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme”, at the Civic Repertory Theater. A small group also saw Walter Hampden in “Cyrano de Bergerac”. Opportunities to speak the language are numerous as this year the club is conducting all meetings in French. Bv the end of the year even the most timid should be chattering fluently “en francais”. S F, X A T U S To t mu-, left to right: R. Hassell, C. Fenn, I). Allgrunn, U. Meyer, M. Romine, R.

Frequently, the citizens of the commonwealth have assembled to conduct the business of the club, and to enjoy activities of a classical nature. Members of the “Senatus,” robed in togas and tunics, presented in an April assembly a program consisting of two Latin plays and a Roman style show. Throughout the year the members have been exhibiting the Latin Club pin, bearing the insignia of a Roman scroll surrounded with laurel foliage, to which is attached the letter S as a guard. The “Senatus” endeavors to create a keener interest in the study of Latin, and to give a broader, cultural development to the members by a knowledge of Roman life, customs, and language.

THE FORUM SINCE the organization of the Forum two years ago, the Forum and the Debate Teams have been closely allied. The Forum is an active agent for the promotion of public speaking. “A man is to be judged by the message he speaks.” The motto of the Forum ably expresses our purpose. This vear Mr. Booth has guided the interests and activities of the club. Elizabeth London was elected President; Amy Isaacs, Vice-President; and Emil Hornick, Secretary. It is interesting to note that all the officers are members of the Varsity Debate Teams. The club contends that scholarship and public speaking are closely related. As a result, all members of the club are required to have a good scholastic standing. . , This year we studied the various phases of public speaking. Mr. Booth gave several interesting talks and lectures on public speaking. Numerous debates were held. The most memorable of these was upon the question: Resolved: Prohibition should he abolished. The negative, as upheld by Amy Isaacs and Fred Burns defeated an affirmative team composed of Joseph Maraziti, Kathleen Boyce, and Bennie Fischler. T H E () HCH K S T It A Standing, left to right: G.

THE ORCHESTRA Ar THE opening of school in September, the orchestra was greatly augmented as compared with that of other years. The string section contained nineteen violins; the bass, three trumpets and one trombone; the woodwind ; one clarinet and two saxophones. An excellent demonstration was given in the form of a Schubert Programme at chapel. Shortly after this, the group suffered the loss of its director, Miss Nickerson, who was forced by illness to leave. After the Christinas holidays, the Orchestra appeared under the able direction of Miss Burnham. Appropriate music was supplied for the annual Senior Play and the Sophomore Plays. In February, Mr. Boyer announced the formation of an all-county Symphony Orchestra. This orchestra was to be composed of the best musicians in each high school in the county. George Knorr, violin; Harriet Griffith, violin; Nathan Feldman, violin; George Snowhill, clarinet; and Walter Farley, trumpet, represented Boonton High in this orchestra. In the three rehearsals at Morristown and Dover, sixty-five of the best high school musicians in the county received a very valuable experience. GIRLS’ G L E E C L U B Top row: L.

However, to almost everyone who enjoys creating music, there is the possibility of singing in a glee club. The Girls’ Glee Club was organized for that purpose. The results so far have been most gratifying. When it was announced that a Girls’ Glee Club would be formed, about thirtv-five girls responded to the announcement. This group elected Verna Swanson librarian, and Dorothea Struckman and Anna Bednar assistants. The club made their first public appearance at the Thanksgiving Day Program. The untiring work and skillful direction of Miss Nickerson were shown by the color and balance of the performance. When Miss Nickerson was forced to leave because of severe illness, the club was like a ship without a pilot. No one knew where to turn. Then came Miss Burnham, the new musical director. Again music filled the air. The culmination of the year’s work will be, of course, the competition for the County Chorus of mixed voices. The club is training intensively for this competition.

QIRL ‘RESERVES U T U AS the night before Christinas and all through the house”—then entered the Girl Reserves. This year on the eve of our Christinas holidays the members serenaded with carols of long ago. A poor family also had the uletide brightened by the club’s contributions. Gate in September the club organized with Marie Morris as President; Mary Ann Iluelser as Vice-President: Germaine Guiton as Secretary; Lucy Meyer as Treasurer; Miss Saunders and Miss Evans as Faculty Advisors. The first “get-together” of the year, a treasure hunt, proved unique and interesting. As a token of best wishes for success in the coming year, the Women’s Guild of the Presbyterian Church invited the girls to supper. Soon after, the club entertained the Faculty at bridge and the Morristown V. W. C. A. permitted the girls to use their pool and gym. In recognition of the work of Miss Saunders, the club gave her a surprise party in early February. At the Community Mother and Daughter Banquet, the girls fashioned part of the decorations. One of the March assemblies was conducted by the club. ; •r H E HI- Y SUimHnn, left to ruth I: II. Dahl, C. Grothman, G. Teague; Mr. C. E. Bover, Mr. L. A. E. Booth, Advisors; j. Wilson, W. Herrmann.

The Hi-Y, w hile advancing the best interests of the high school, hinds the members together in true friendship. The Ili-Y, as organized this year, contained fourteen fellows under the co-leadership of Mr. Hover and Mr. Booth. A new constitution was the first concern of the club. Then our new members were initiated properly. Among the speakers sponsored by the HiA who addressed the student body this year were a professor of engineering of New ’l ork 1 niversity, and a Secretary, who moved the student body with his talk on the future. The Older Hoys’ Conference, held at Elizabeth, was attended hv our delegates, and the entire group went to the County Y. M. C. A. Conference at Dover. On February 9 a number of the group went to the Preparatory School ( on-ference, held at Princeton University. A combination of good speakers, exciting athletic contests, and humorous mishaps made this day a memorable one. After our meetings, which were featured by pertinent discussions on vital problems, a lively game of basketball would he organized. We believe that this year we have established the Hi-Y in Boonton High on a firm foundation, and we hope to see it prosper. T H E W A M P U S Standing, left to right: M. Meadowcroft, J.

THE WAMPUS TO BE interviewed instead of interviewing is a new role for the Wampus. However, we were asked for nil interview, and here it is; Ques.: When was the Wampus organized? Ans.: This is the second year that the Wampus has been a mimeographed newspaper, published entirely by students. Formerly it was printed by a private organization and was issued eight times a year. Ques.: Who publishes the Wampus? Ans.: It is published by the students. This year Archie Galloway is Editor-in-Chief. His staff includes: Fred Bednar, Assistant Editor; Myron Meadowcroft, Art Editor; George Snowliiil, Literary Editor; Marion Blanchard, Joke Editor. Our reporters were chosen on a competitive basis. Elizabeth London, Amy Isaacs, Emil Ilornick, Joseph Maraziti, and Bennie Fischler were picked. Marie Morris and Mary Ann Huelser are the typists. Mary Petretti is Assistant Art Editor, and Charlotte Smythe, Assistant Business Manager. Ques.: What school activities do you cover? Ans.: All. We include sports, personals, news features, club and class notes, and pertinent editorials, all of which aim to give an accurate account of the activities of the school.

LIBRARY BOOKS nre the storerooms of knowledge. Libraries arc the storerooms of books. It is to these storerooms one must refer to obtain accurate knowledge. Hence our library is not merely our pride, but our necessity. Quietly and unobtrusively, we have a group of eight students who are rendering a worthwhile service to our school. These are our student librarians. One period each day they devote to the circulation of books and offer assistance to students in finding and using books. Our library is now rapidly expanding. We now have two hundred volumes which include books of reference, current magazines, and the daily newspapers. Added to this, the Morris County Library loans us six hundred books, frequently interchanged and refreshed. Our records show that the circulation of books has expanded extensively, and that the students are using the library more often. Evidently we have outgrown our present accommodation, but we are still anticipating the wonderful improvements which will be made in the near future and a system under which we can render more service.

THE USHERS TIIE Ushers were organized for the second time last fall after a very successful year in 1927-28. At tlie first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Donald Scandlin: Vice-President, Emil Hornick: Secretary and Treasurer, John R. W ilson. Mr. II. M. Evans was again made the Faculty Advisor. The duties of the squad were to usher at all school activities, to have charge of distribution of song books on days of chapel exercises, and to he of use in any wav to benefit the school, and were also available when visitors came and desired to have the school and its activities shown to them. They have aided the performances in the auditorium and have facilitated the distribution of song books and other printed pamphlets or song sheets during the chapel exercises. The Ushers’ Club filled a long-felt want in Boonton High. People are attracted by outward appearances. Our capable, efficient, ushering squad cannot fail to attract favorable comment from people attending High School functions. the cheering squad Reading, left to right: E. Berhman, I. Baldwin; Mr. Booth, Coach; L. Richards, L. Sprecn. THE CHEERING SQUAD AS THE date of our first football game approached, tryouts were held to pick a cheering team. Since there was a long, hard schedule for Boonton to play off, the school needed some good peppy cheer-leaders. Selections were made by a ballot of the student body. This election was held in the various home rooms, and the ballots forwarded to the S. K. A. for the determination of the successful candidates. The team picket! was Louis Richards, Captain, Ethel Berhman ; and the Freshman Trio, consisting of Lois Spreen, Dorothy Charlton, and Irene Baldwin. The effectiveness of the Cheering Squad increased as the season advanced due to the able coaching of Mr. Booth and many Pep Bailies. Girls’ Basketball claimed the time of all but two active cheer-leaders for the girls’ games. The squad was out in force to cheer the boys’ team to success. The cheer-leaders worked hard on a program to arouse the enthusiasm of the students at the series of debates. As a result, those present at the debates were treated to an excellent exhibition of Boonton High’s cheering ability. VAT RONS oAND PATRONESSES MISS PHYLLIS M. ABBOTT MR. ANDREW M. BEDNAR MRS.
