i TO MISS MARY E. PRICE Whose wonderful guidance, untiring cooperation, and charming personality have made our years as upper class-men so successful, we, the Class of 1934, gratefully and affectionately dedicate Echoes of 1934 During this groat depression, we are living in a wonderful age of opportunity from which we should learn a lesson that will be of inestimable value to us in the future. That lesson is: Covetousness is the cause of misery, but unselfish service is a Joy forever. May you always remember this e’en though the rest of the world all too soon forgets. When, in perusal of this book,you bask in the sunshine cf pleasant memories, may they include memories of helpful and enduring associations; recollections of stimulating and worth while experiences. fflCUL Mr. FlBler - - ?•- _____ English Mlse Oremland - v- '- - - - Commercial Mies Catlaw - - T - - - Latin Miss Tyleckl - n - 2a1 m7tr - - - - - - Commercial Miss Brinser- - ________ English Miss Tucker - - 4 _ w? - - English, History Mrs. Booth - - - h CT' _ _ _c y- -Commercial Mr. Boyer - - w? - - r- A - ;- - - - - - - Principal Miss Jeffrey- - i ------ English Mlse Harvey - “- }■ - - - - - French Mlse Hegeler- - yr ______ German, English Ml88 Marazlti - SJ■ -______ English, Spanish Miss Bednar - ■ - - - - - - - - - - - - Secretary Mr8.

Besides being the dependable and valuable president of our class for two years he led the Nat’l Honor Society, the Hl-Y, and year book. Max is red-haired and a great sport. Mary began her activities upon entering high school. As club member, Wampus reporter, usher, ficer, and National Honor Society member, Mary has proved to be a most conscientious, clever and studious class member. Thomas Case Tommy For two years Tommy has been balancing '34’s books very successfully. Signing checks doesn't take all his time, though. What would the Seniors do without Tommy in intramurals,pray tell. Louise Eissmann Here’s a studious, capable, and much respected senior. Louise’s cheerful disposition and willingness to cooperate, would make her a welcome addition to any class, as her constant demand testifies. She has been vice-president two years. . f V Gertrude Adams Gertie 'S Gertie's record of activities is longer than the list of the Smiths in the phone hook. Among them are Council, 32, Chorus, French Club. This year Gertie edited the literary columns in the Wampus. Marjorie Allgrunn Marge Dates and school work are two extremes, but Marge makes both of them meet. And when we say Marge is popular, we mean popular. Both girls and boys HI e her. . w ■ Rollins Anderson Roily Roily gets much enjoyment mentally and physically by cutting logs in his spare time. He is one of the neatest dressers in the class. His cheerful disposition and friendly smile have marked him as a good sport. Dorothy Apgar Dot Presenting the Wampus question boxj Dot writes those columns about ideal men in an endeavor to aoquaint us with the solution of life a puzzles. She was our Soph president and played Judy in the Junior play Augustine Bacchetta Augie Augie has wind for both the track and the clarinet, and does as well at one as the other. He's quiet in the classroom, but that ueually means that his work is all done. Robert Beebe Bob While not as noisy as some of the others, Robert is one of '34's important members. The qualities of good sportsmanship and good nature make him liked by all. Robert is a member of the Ham Club. Doris Ball Don't hit her or she's liable to hit you back. Doris is Just bursting with plenty of snappy comebacks and sharp wit which can beat any boy's. Patricia Bell Patty When you see a bright bit of green and yellow paint flash by, that’s Patty on her way to some-where-or-other. If she's going your way, she'll pick you up. Patty is liked for her unfailing good-nature. Joseph Beradino Berry Not so tall, but he packs a deadly wallop. He proved his versatility by making good at varsity football, managing our basketball team, and then cinching a berth on the varsity baseball team. Ruth Berges Towaoo gave us Ruth and after four years we hate to give her back. She is one of our backbone members, sweet, demure, and a good worker. She is a member of a number of organizations. Loretha Blacke We have found someone who does her school work and committee work very industriously, and yet is not too serious to laugh ana Joke. It's Loretha, and she’s always cheerful and willing to help you. Helen Blackman When you see Helen, look a-gain and you'll see Betty. The two form one of the closest alliances in school. This member of the Dual Alliance is peppy, full of fun, and a good friend to all who know her. Mildred Bladt Millie Millie's hearty laugh and sense of humor are an institution of our class. We have yet to find her in a gloomy mood, or without a clever quip to toss back. Helen Bolcar A smile that makes you glad” and an attractive manner make us wish we could see more of this quiet, demure member. Service Club is her only activity; outside of that. Miss Bolcar reads. Joseph Brady Joe Joe’s manager of the Senior candy table. He deserves a lot of credit for the work he has done with this project. Nor does he limit himself to confections. Joe is an eminent member of the Service Club as well. Dorothea Brine Dot The secretary will read the minutes. Dot was not with us her Sophomore year, but that has not stopped her. Her fame begins with her secretaryship in the (ttf and she is a National Honor Society member. James Carey Jim One of the chief ingredients of the class pie, this our prime debater, fighter, S.R.A. president, Senior play actor, and heart-breaker. Our advice to you: Don’t try to argue him out of it, it's impossible. Helen Chimble This little blonde miss is most attractive. Although in school one may get the impression that she is quiet, it is rather a different story when she is at home. rf?ccK?° Thordis Christensen Toots Good things coma in small packages! Toots is a bundle of activity and pep. She proved very helpful on various play and dance committees and is a good dancer. Dorothy Conway Dotty Introducing the artist who drew some of the cuts for this book! Dot may be an artist, but, luckily for us, she has no artistic temperament. On the contrary, she is one of the best natured girls in the class. Raymond Curtin Raymie Tall, lanky, blonde, describes Ray nicely. He’s been an active participant in varsity sports for four years, baseball and basketball being his specialty. Ray’s the life of any party, In constant demand. Lucy Daneski Lucy’s posters and scenery for class plays and activities, and her cheerful disposition have rendered her an indisponsible member of our class. Her final contribution is her art editorship of this book. Dudley DeMouthe Dud Dudley is the strong, silent type you read about in books and see in the movies. We’ve often wondered how Romeo would look beside him. Why haven’t you let us know more of you? Alvino DiCarlo A1 Whether it’s intramural sports or Just a bit of cheer leading needed, A1 is sure to be on the spot. Basketball and volleyball between the walls have been put on the map since Alvino became manager. Dorothy Dickinson Dot Want to see a picture of light-heartedness, gayety, and pep? Then take a look at Dottie-she’s all that and then some, with her musical ability and infectious giggle. Vivian Dodin Vivian is of the more quiet type, but there are several fellows who think she’s Just swell ! She makes a very attractive usher and is an active participant in sports. Sarah Fraser Sally Basketball, baseball, soccer, and volleyball ought to be Sally's middle names. She’s sort of an integral part of a team, the girls in our class have organized, and a big help to them all. Florence Gallagher Florence is neatness and good taste personified, and among the best dressed In the class. She’ll make an efficient, capable secretary; she’s had enough practice in school helping Miss Wilcox. Philip Gallo Phil Here is the terror of all the Freshmen. Phil is one of the men in the halls. We notice his secretarial position with the Service Club doesn’t take all his time, though. Mary Gambelli Mary is a member of the athletic firm of Fraser, Gambelli, and Generoso. She’s a familiar figure on field or court, and has belonged to the Chorus for four years. Charles Gardner Charlie Make way for Charlie or else he’ll make it himself. Charlie is one of the African Club and a big he-man. 'Nuff said. Sports are also in Charlie’s line, and especially good are his basketball and track records. Arthur Generoso Art Rugged best describes this virile Senior. As baseball manager, his deep resounding voice has found its proper place. He has played varsity football and also goes in for interclass and intramural sports. Dolores Generoso Dolly Here is another partner of the all-around sports team. Dolly has majored in sports for extra-curricular activities, but has also belonged to the school and County Chorus for several years. Arthur Griffith Art We call him Duke. —He’s a friend to everyone who knows him. In his quiet, unobtrusive way, he has earned a name for himself in the Service Club and other activities. ft Peale Haldt When better track records are made, Peale will make them. Besides being the captain of our track team, Peale is one of our wittiest and best-liked Seniors. Lucy Hanlon To be quiet, dignified, yet always gracious and helpful seems to be Lucy’s creed in high school and we hope she continues it in later life. Good luck, Lucy. iyYl n 4c ' konloa Hanlon Whatever we might say of one Hanlon sister may Just as well be applied to the other, except that Monica Is a bit more Jolly. We certainly like them both. HI la Harbeson A girl we all know well but find hard to describe! Hlla has worked in Chorus, in sports, and on committees but the thing that strikes you most about her is her bright smile. % Richard Henry Dick Dick's favorite haunt is the chemistry lab, and considering that it’s hi3 pet hobby, that’s not strange. But when not in chemistry, Dick is one of the crowd, a real fellow whom we all like. Walter Hillman Walt Walt is an altogether outdoor fellow, a model for the outdoor magazines. Walt is one whom I am sure we’ll all miss; he's got that thing that makes him a leader in anything and a friend to everyone. Buford Hohenshilt Pete Pete is one of our he-men. His rough and ready manner and snappy comebacks bring forth many a laugh around B. H. S. He goes in for sports in a big way, playing varsity football and baseball. Jack Hussong Jack What a break for the farmers’ Although rather inactive in outside activities and not so talkative it has been proved that Jack’s pet ambition is to be a farmer. The farmers couldn't cultivate a brighter man. Margaret Hyatt Quiet, steady, dependable, a hard worker--all this and much more is Margaret. She is a kind of friend you can depend upon as the class has found from the faithful committee work she has done. Joseph Kapral Joe Harmonica Joe, so called because of his musical ability along that line, is a strong, silent man who doesn’t go in much for frivolous things. His main line of activity is interclass and intramural sports. Austin Karrer We really ought to call Austin W3EDM, because he’s so wrapped up in his amateur radio station, but we must give him ored-it for being a National Honor Society member and a brilliant student to boot. Betty Kasefang The old high school would be a lot less cheerful without Betty's bright countenance and hearty chuckle. Betty and Helen Blackman make up our Damon and Pythias team of B.H.S. Edward Klemm Babe Eddie is one of our most promising crooners, and he certainly has a way with the fair sex. It would be hard to imagine Boonton High’s halls without him in the foreground somewhere. Ludmilla Koval Millie If you like people who are Jolly and full of fun, you'll like Millie. Millie's greatest charm is her ability to laugh easily. On committees and Wampus Staff, she's proved herself a good worker. Veronica Kufta Toots Athletes.watch your step when Toots starts going. She is one of our best players. She not only is great in sports, but also among her classmates. Her congenial disposition creates an atmosphere of good-fellowship. Joseph Kuhner Joe You never hear Joe around, because he is so reserved and quiet, but he’s always available when there is work to be done. He is another of those patrolmen in the halls. Viola Lahr Another class Rubinoff. Viola was a county representative this year; she's played in our orchestra for four years. Sports also claimed her attention. She has the faculty of always looking cheerful. Colbert Lindsley A 8low grin, chuckles, and antics galore—that’s Colbert. His particular abilities run to committees, on which he often serves, with a record of only a few broken bulbs and ladders. He imitates Col. Stoopnagle too. William Lowery Billy is an amiable, easy-going sort of person and his goodnature and friendliness have made him popular. He sometimes gets befuddled in history class, but that doesn't bother him. William Lucas Bill Bill’s achievements on the football field, basketball court and diamond are something to be proud of. During his Junior year he turned his talents to the stage, and this year he's one of Mr. Ryder’s ushers. i Wl vv Vj r WE % f I W „ T Jamas MacDowell Jim Jim is the mystery man of the Senior Class. When he’s not in school, he’s driving around in his blue Maxwell. Where he goes we do not know. Maybe the fairer sex is to blame. Elizabeth Maddern Betty David Harum received fin© support from this quiet member of our class. iSlizabeth showed in this project the same spirit she has 3hown all through high. Joseph Mangone Joe Accomplishments galore has joe—and then some. In him we have the perfect Sam, Wampus Sports iSditor, tenor stand-by, a good worker, and a swell guy to have around. Amelia Matzura Another of our artists’ Amelia has done a great deal for us in the way of posters and scenery, and has given valuable support in many other class projects by her fine committee work. Ruth McCaffrey Hey Ruth, is heard every time there’s something to be done, and Ruth, with a smile, will do it capably and efficiently. She also keeps the SRA accounts, ushers, and debates. She’s a great girl. Loretta McCormick Rusty To say that Rusty is swell-elegant wouldn’t be doing her justice. Her work as girls sport manager, librarian, and various committees have all helped in making her a National Honor Society member. Llewellyn McElhaney Use Whether tooting on the bass horn, driving his rattletrap Ford, or making dates with the women, Mac is an expert. His many accomplishments and versatility have made him one of our most popular boys. Doris McKee Micky Sports--we think of Micky; dramatics--we immediately remember her as Laurette Payne in Spooks.” Cheer leading? She's there with lots of pep. In fact, when there's anything going on, Micky's there. J' Lucas Melillo Luke The favorite son of Boonton High! He ha3 distinguished himself in intramural and varsity sports, specializing as stalwart center on the football squad. Luke is worth the admission price to any musical comedy. Ethel Michel Ethel is seen more often than she is heard, but she’s not hard to look at, being among the best dressed Senior girls. Her pleasant disposition has made her many friends in B. H. S. Edward Mitchko Ed It’s no use asking Ed about his activities—he's too modest. So let us tell you about them. He's captain of the football team, a three-letter man, an excellent dancer and that popular I Helen Molitoris Helen is a dependable and quiet worker and given a task she will keep at it steadily until it is done. She is one of the best wampus typists, and a good friend to all who know her. William Muhl Bill A big, blonde football hero! Meet Willy Muhl, a great linesman on the championship team. He not only plays football; remember the weird lighting and sound effects in Spooks ? Well, Willy was partly responsible. Frances Nagel Fran Here is one whose interest in music is most outstanding. Frances has contributed much to the Girls Chorus and to the County Chorus with her beautiful, well-trained voice. Her other hobby is dancing. Elma Oliver Elma's scholastic record is one for which many strive and few attain. She displays the same conscientious spirit in her committee work, Girls' Hi-Y, chorus, and National Honor Society. Daniel Phelan Danny Danny has the reputation of being the fashion plate of our class, and he certainly lives up to it. Danny’s Irish smile and wavy hair are but two of his many charms. Richard Plahn Dick When you hear a wisecrack, the man behind it is usually Dick Plahn. Dick's hobby is making airplanes, and he has made und exhibited many fine models. He is president of the Aviation Club. Henry Popp Bud Take a keen wit, a lot of crazy antics, a distinct talent for literary work, a handful of dynamite, and mix it all together. The result is Bud Popp, our Class play-wright and practical Joker. v-v: v. Francis Rak Tall, lanky and a strawberry blonde--that’s Francis. He is a humorous and exceedingly opto-mistic classmate, and you really have to know him well to appre-date him. Interclass sports are his activity. Edward Randall Ed Ed swings a mean tennis racket and it no doubt keeps him in shape for his Service Club duties in the halls. He is somewhat of a dreamer, but a regular guy. Philip Ricci Phil Phil is what we call a he-man. His record on field and court are the envy of all boys; he’s tall, dark and handsome and a swell dancer. What more oould one ask? Cyril Riohardi Syd Syd’s very likeable and has quite a way with the fair sex. Here’s how he does it: he walks up to a charming miss, looks oh, so ooy, rolls his big, blue eyes and----she listens to anything he might say. George Richardi Combustion George The halls of Boonton High wouldn’t be complete without George’s famous smile while on patrol for the Service Club, or without the usual shocks felt whenever he lives up to his name of Combustion George. William Ritchie Bill Recently it was discovered that Scotty’s suppressed desire was to wear kilts to school. He really looks nicer in his varsity football uniform, in whioh, although he is the silent type, he has raised many cheers. Russell Sims Russ Around school, Russ seems to be a quiet sort of ohap, but to his friends at the Riverside Athletic Club he is quite a mis-ohief maker and loads of fun.

She was a member of the Big Pond cast, Wampus staff, and the debate team. Margaret Smetzer Peggy Although Margaret’s only been here two years, she’s been quite active. She's been a member of the library staff, chorus. Senior play cast, and several committees, displaying friendly cooperation always.

Raymond Stackhouse Ray Ray’s best interests are in sports. He has participated in intramural sports for three years and graced the ranks of varsity football as a Senior. Ray’s quiet smile makes us want to know him better. Mildred Stauder Milly Quiet? Oh, that’s Just because you don’t know Milly. Really she's Just as full of fun —or more so—than any of us. Milly’s contributions to the class in the form of committee work, have been very valuable. Charles Stevens Charlie Here comes Charlie; now we 11 have some music I Charlie's small but peppy. His activities include orchestra, band, Stamp Club, French Club, and Latin Club, so he’s kept rather busy. Margaret Sulzberger Peggy Peggy has been a Glee Club member every year in high school and 18 a valuable librarian and club member. Her light-hearted laugh, often heard, is a product of her carefree nature. Dorothy Teague Dot Beautiful, and not the least bit dumb! A worker who works hard, a player who knows the rules, and most of all, a singer who loves to sing. That’s Dotty. Eleanor Teague Hear a merry laugh? That’s Eleanor. Her greatest achievements in high school are her successes in Glee Club, County Chorus, and in acting in several plays. Her activities also include .drawing and Wampus work. Carmeline Torrise Millie If you hear a quiet chuckle, and see someone small, it’s surely Millie. Millie work hard in school, taking it ver seriously and conscientiously. Floyd Tredway He'll sell you a ticket anytime! Floyd’s wide smile and brisk manner have made him a friend of everyone. Serving on scenery committees for plays and singing in the Glee Club have kept him occupied.

Florence Tucker Flo Flo is auburn-haired and has an ever ready smile. She is interested in intramural sports and secretarial work. Although she is small, Flo adds much to the class. Irving VanDale Fe don’t hear much from Irving, and few would ever suspect that he is a most romantic soul, but such is the case. Ask Mias Jeffrey—she gave us the information. Daniel Vanderhoof Dan The red-headed fiddler! Dan is everyone’s friend and his smart cracks make everybody laugh. He has lent his enthusiasm and ability to the orchestra, and to interolass sports all through high school.

As a member of the Glee Club, and president of Girls’ Hi-Y, she has made her place in the class. Bertha VanDuyne Bert Bang—Whizz—Smoke! It’s only Bertha, deep in chemistry. Happy-go-lucky, she has grinned at her chem. lab accidents and minor worries all thru high school—to everyone’s enjoyment. Bert also excels in sports. Charles VanDuyne Chasle Football, basketball, and baseball for four years would hare been incomplete without Chasie, Self-confidence and grit have always been two of his best characteristics. Robert VanFleet Bob Bob Is the tallest Senior in the class and his height has proved very useful on scenery committees. He has done a fine piece of work as program chairman of the Hi-T. Florence Villoresi Florence's quietness is a sweet quietness, and her smile i8 wistful. She is much interested in art and designing, at which she is quite expert. Her activity in school besides her work is French Club. Ann Vlsscher Annie Rollicking Annie! Cheerful, witty, clever and a hard worker! Although she is a member of the Glee Club and the Service Club Ann's biggest service to the school is her editorship of the Wampus. Helen Tnenoak Helen is very demure, quiet, and blonde, but in her work as assistant office secretary she is very accommodating and business-like. She would make an a-ble private or social secretary. Adolphine Voegelin She’s tall. She’s blonde. She writes like a printer, stands like a pigeon, blows her nose like a robot, and goes down the scale with her giggle. She sings, she exchanges, she acts She—-thirty-five is the limiti. Jeanette Vreeland Pat Pat to us! Although Pat's activities are not many besides Glee Club and committee work, she has found her way into our hearts as a demure belle with curly hair and laughing eyes.

This year the S. R. A. found itself confronted with an entirely new and unique situation. It was to function for the first time under a new Constitution, and although many difficulties were anticipated, they were successfully overcome through the wholehearted support of the student body and the excellent advice of Mr. Booth. The new membership dues of twenty-five cents made it possible to launch a arive aimed at 100% enrollment. It fell somewhat short of its marie, but about 90% of the students are now members of the S. R. A. This year's council inaugurated some new legislation and revised some that had become time-worn. Once more the pep parade through the Main Street in advertisement of the Dover football game was held and helped to win the County championship for Boonton. For the first time the Council undertook to fete the football team. A banquet was given in their honor at Day's Restaurant in Morristown. The S. R. A. also sponsored a Victory Dance immediately after the Dover game. To raise funds for baseball, the Council, under the capable guidance of Mrs. Booth, presented a Variety Program which proved to be highly successful. These are but a few of the projects undertaken by this year’s Student Council and S. R. A., and both can look back on a highly successful year. (HR)2 Last year under the leadership of Mr. Spurway the was organized. Two delegates from each homeroom were elected to meet together to discuss problems arising in the homerooms and to aid the Council and Wampus in their various campaigns. This year the organization has been continued with the following officers: President, Daniel Phelan; Vice-president, Charles VanDuvne; Trees urer, Molly Maraziti; Secretary, Dorothea Brine; Council Representative, Helen Sisco. The success of the S.R.A. Drive aqd the Wampus Campaign was greatly aided through the assistance of the (KR)r members. Its outstanding project this year was the trip to Trenton to visit tho State Legislature. This trip had been recorded in the records cf the Assembly at Trenton.

D. Flsler This year has marked another change for the Wampus. Still retaining Its newspaper form, It has changed from four pages to a slightly smaller six-page paper. A new method of printing has made cartoons and like features possible, and in other ways the paper has improved, in spite of the fact that it was Independent of the S. R. A. Tne fourteen issues Included school news, special features, stories and poems, pictures, sports write-ups, school gossip, and Alumni and Exchange notes. A special supplement sheet was put-out when Boonton won the county championship in football. Irving Miller was appointed editor for next year. Debates A very timely topic was selected as the subject for debate this year Resolved: That the United States should adopt the British method of broad casting control. The conclusion of tryouts found two teams ready for the work with Mr. Booth and Mr. Lee. The affirmative team, Martha Webb, Helen Blanchard, Irving Miller, and Helen Sisco (alternate) was coached by Mr. Booth. On the negative team, Mr. Lee had Virginia McLarin, Victor Hillery, James Carey, and Ruth McCaffrey (alternate) under his guidance. After many weeks research, the teams were ready for their first debates. On March 9 the affirmative team debated Passaic at home, while the negative traveled to Clifton. Victory for the negative and -defeat for the affirmative were the results. The teams met their second opponents on March 16. The negative met Passaic in Boonton, while the affirmative went to Clifton. There were two victories for Boonton this time. Boonton, with three victories and one defeat, tied with Passaic for the championship. National Honor Society The National Honor Society of 1933 instituted a new tradition, that of holding a banquet. It took place at Beechwood Lodge. First a grand dinner, then dancing, and finally to conclude a perfect evening, toasted marshmallows. When the Seniors graduated in 1933, only two members were left to carry on until the new elections. So Max was elected president and Martha automatically became anything else that might be needed. However, in March, eight Seniors and four Juniors were elected. Carrying on a fine tradition, the N. H. S. gave the school a plant for the auditorium as a Christmas present. Because the first banquet had been so enjoyable, the second was to be almost like it. Lake Arrowhead Tavern provided the place, February 27 the time, and Dr. Ericson, Mr. Boyer, Mr. Spurway and about thirty N.H.S. members provided the company. After Dr. Ericson’s fine address, Still Room at the Top, we took a leap from the sublime to the ridiculous and initiated the new members. We had fun for all JI NI0R5 CLASS OF 35 President..................Irving Miller Vice President .......... Molly Maraziti Secretary...................Irene Bishop Treasurer..............Rudolph Herrmann Faculty Adviser. . . . Miss T. Oremland This year the members of the class of 35 took their places as important upper-classmen. With Miss Oremland as adviser, they steered safely through the year, with a most successful play and prom. The Junior Play, The Poor Nut, was given in February. The type of play, Mrs. Booth’s effective coaching, the large cast, and the exceptional principals, as well as the effective work of the publicity committee all contributed to the success of this project. The Annual Junior Prom given in May was one which the Seniors, the guests of honor, will never forget. The decorations and fine orchestra made it an unusually lovely dance. The class rings were purchased in the spring. Members of the Junior Class were important representatives in all school activities. 50PH5 CLASS OF 1936 The class of 1936, under the faculty guidance of Miss Catlaw, has enjoyed a very successful school year. The officers of the class are: Jean Wright, President: Columbus Ver- di, Vice - President; Claire Stackhouse, Secretary; and Ralph Scandlln, Treasurer. The Student Council representatives are: Doris McMahon, Alice Lohr, Edward Zdawczynski, and Irving Zeldman, alternate. Many members of the class are engaged in various extra - curricular activities. The Wampus, debating team, baseball, football, basketball, and track teams boast of a large Sophomore representation. On April 20th, the class gave its annual Hop, The Air Circus, in the John Hill Auditorium. Mr. Ronnie was in charge of making the posters to advertise the dance, while all of the committees were under the supervision of Miss Catlaw.

In this large family were students with courage, scholarship, leadership, service, and honor. The cooperative spirit of the class was shown when it presented its Freshmen Frolic which proved to be a success financially and indeed socially. The class brought forth all its worthwhile talent which proved to be much and staged one of the best, if not the best, minstrel presented on a Boonton High School stage up to that time. Members of this class were candidates for almost every activity and were represented in athletics, Wampus, debating, cheering scuad, Latin Club, and other various organizations. Of these people, Victor Hillary, e graduate of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School deserved mention because of his most outstanding ability as a debater. The class is confident that in the next three years it will strive to attain the highest goal in all the activities which go to make up the ideal high school career. The Boonton High School football team enjoyed a good season this year, winning five and losing four games. Handicapped by injuries and inexperienced players, the team lost their first two games, but they overcame these obstacles and downed Morristown 13 to 6 and Dover 7 to 6 to win the County Championship in football. This team has the honor of being the first in the history of Boonton High School to capture the County Championship in football.
