Boonton High School - Echoes Yearbook (Boonton, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 90 of the 1935 volume:

Boonton I know a bright world of snowy hills at Boonton, A blue and white dazzling light on everything one sees, The Ice-covered branches of the hemlocks sparkle Bending low and twinkling In the sharp thin breeze. And Iridescent crystals fall and crackle on the snow crust With the winter sun drawing cold blue shadows from the trees. Sara Teasaale ECHOES OF 1935 Published By The Senior Class of Boonton High School Boonton, New Jersey Dedication Cognizant of the productive value of Inspiring leadership, the Class of 1935 retains a high appreciation for the services and friendship of those who for four years have stimulated them to attainment through Inspired scholarship, leadership, character, and service. With sincerity, praise, and gratitude, the Senior Class dedicates this book to the Faculty of Boonton High School. TABLE OF CONTENTS The Three Hundredth Anniversary of the American High School Administration and Faculty Seniors Classes At Work Activities Advertisements The Three Hundredth Anniversary of Secondary Education in America Three hundred years ago the citizens of Boston in a town neeting authorized the appointment of a schoolmaster for the instruction of their children to prepare them for the university. Though its offering was very meager, the Latin Grammar School provided the training for our earliest citizens. In the latter eighteenth century to meet the growing demands of a democratic country, the American Academy emerged with its more widely diversified curricula and opened its doors to a larger group of students. From this unpretentious beginning have grown the secondary schools of America as we know them today, whose task it is to mould youth into an intelligent and helpful citizenry. So we who are graduating on this momentous anniversary pause to commend the progress of education in Boonton. We have focused our camera to reflect cross sections of modern high school life at Boonton where teachers and students work and play in cr. efficient, cooperative community. May Echoes of 1935 serve always to help us to cherish the memories of our four full Joyous years and to remind us of the lofty ideals that were instilled in us by our high school contacts.

Burr Mann Superintendent A Brief Summary of Public School Growth in Boonton The first official record of schools In Boonton: Meeting held April 7 1851. William G. Lathrop elected Moderator and John Hill, Treasurer. $2000 was voted to build a school house. Boonton was then District No.7, Pequannock Township. A list of children in the district between 5 and 18 years, 265 in all, was delivered to J. L. Kanouse, Supt. of Schools. In 1852, a lot of land was procured from the N. J. Iron Company on the Green near Birch Street. The following year, the new school, called The Academy was occupied. This school was enlarged in 1863. In 1873, plans were made for building Harrison School in South Boonton and in 1880 the second floor was built on Harrison School. April 5th, 1875, the first Board of Education was elected in Boonton. The following were members: Edwin Bishop, Joseph Milner, James King, Thomas Hammonds, G. H. Mandeville, J. L. Trowbridge, Pres., John Arndt, Secretary, C. 0. Cooper, Treasurer and Lewis Estler, Clerk.

It would require a book of many long chapters to follow through each phase of growth and development of our public schools in Boonton. Hundreds of pages of interesting reading could be given over to the meetings called to vote money for new buildings and additions to buildings. A short biography of each board member would make volumes and furnish material for an excellent history of the town. Twenty-eight different persons have served on the board during the past eight years. In no phase of the work will we find a greater contrast than in that of curricula and courses of study. A sample from 1880: Miss Sergeant's Room--Peader to page 214, Swinton's Geography finished and Part I Warren's Brief Course, etc., 1925: No electives in the high school olaasical course till the 12th grade. 1935: High School Classical course -- four electives in the 9th grade, twelve electives in the 10th grade, fifteen electives in the 11th grade, and twelve in the 12th grade. Slowly has the stress turned from the content to the child. Of late years we have been paying more attention to effort, attitude, interests, and individual differences. And during the past school year we have made a decided contribution toward the more complete life of the students by discussions, planning and testing procedures in a seven-fold program: 1. Character, 8. Health, 3. Safety, 4. Good oral English, 5. Home-making, 6. Citizenship, 7. Love of the Beautiful. Mr. Clarence E.

Jeffrey When our class was floundering amidst the towering seas end huge swells of senior activities, Miss Jeffrey placed her firm hand upon the helm and righted our drifting craft so that our necessary productions and duties no longer appeared as formidible waves but slipped by successfully, as lapping riplets on a sunny sea. How her masterful touch has been felt can only be described by the utter confidence that our class has come to place in her decisions and good judgment. So cheerfully and helpfully has she given of her time that our members became inspired and thus our senior play, senior movie, banquet, dance and yearbook, attained a height of which we may all be proud. Miss Jeffrey, for your spurring energy and untiring efforts on our behalf, we, the class of 1935, sincerely thank you, and wish that all the good fortune in the world may shine upon your future endeavors.

Jeffrey President of Senior Class Frank Kromka Frankie Is the most well-rounded person In our graduating class. He Is tall and neat In appearanoe and has the broad shoulders and stalwart stature of an athlete. He has been an active participant on our football squad for four years but In his senior year he rose to stardom and earned the admiration of hie team-mates by his stellar work In the tackle position. In him are combined the qualities of perseverance and Intelligence which are necessary to the character of a good student such as Frank Is. He possesses a good deal of dramatic ability and had a leading role In both our Junior and Senior plays. In his first appearance on the stage he made the character of the Poor Nut Incredibly human and real to us and won Immediately the sympathy of his audience. This year also he portrayed the role of Donald, a most difficult part, to a very appreciative audience. He also has his comical side by which he has moved many of us to sidesplitting laughter and we who have worked with him and know him well will never forget his mad genius Imitations.

Alma M. Adams Alma Is the brunette member of the well represented Adams family. She Is extremely Jolly and her face Is constantly lit up with a bright beaming smile. Very congenial, she Is always willing to assist her classmates. She possesses much common sense, and Is not swept off her feet by high-sounding propositions. Alma Is very well-liked, because she brings light heart and laughter wherever she goes. Marian G. Adams Her reddish hair Is not accompanied by the usual temper. On the contrary, she has a very sunshiny disposition which adds to her natural beauty. She Is one of the most attractive girls In our class and enjoys a great deal of popularity. Marian Is cheerful, complacent, and courteous, which contributes, In no small degree, to her attractiveness. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; County Chorus 1; Latin Club 2; Intramural Sports 1, 2. Emerson H. Alexander He Is best described by his nickname, Pep , for he Is Just that, always on the go, and full of life and animation. When seen with an Innocent expression on his face, we know that he Is plotting new mischief, and when seen with a laugh on his countenance, we know that someone else has fallen victim to his pranks. Glee Club 1; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; County Chorus 1; Track 3, 4. Daniel J. Allen Dan Is filled right to the bursting point with fun and good humor. His easy manner, his smiling blue eyes, his quiet speech, and his winning ways have drawn many friends to him. He has figured brightly with the school's basketball team, where he will long be remembered for his good sportsmanship. Whether on the field or off, Dan never departs from the ten commandments of a true sport. Committee Work 1; Intramural SDorts 1,2,3; Basketball 3, 4. 1635 Allen L. Andrews Allen hails from that booming metropolis of Lincoln Park and hae contributed In no small measure to the reputation of that comparatively small town. He ie tall, brunette, handsome, and walks with a peculiar spring In his step which perhaps signifies his happy-go-lucky state of mind. George M. Baker Oeorge Is the most willing, dependable, and efficient worker In the senior class. Through his high school days he has given un6tlntlngly of his time and of the service of his car. He always works cheerfully and gives the Impression that he likes to help. He numbers all who know him as his friends. The senior class surely owes Oeorge a great debt of gratitude.

Benjamin } Rodney has made himself quite an institu- tion around Boonton High School for his most realistic impersonations of that well-known comedian. Will Rogers. Our oral English classes would certainly have lost an immense amount of their tang and zip without his presence. He is a product of the open spaces and spends his tine near the trout streams and bass lakes. He also ranks next to Jack Brady as a whopper teller. Kamera Club 1; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3. Helen M. Betz Helen has a kind. Jovial, expression on her round face, with sparkling blue eyes and dimpled red cheeks completing the picture to perfection. She is neither forward nor shy, but hos attained that much-sought-after happy medium of grocious-ness. She Is a good mixer, a fine hostess, and a likable companion. Committee Work 4. 1935 Veronica L. Bindas In Veronica we find a modest, retiring girl who sets her standards high and who attains them without Any apparent fussing or fuming. She goes about her dally tasks quietly And yet a-chleves her results almost phenomenally. She Is on excellent student, on the honor roll for four years, and Is a constant Joy to her teachers. Veronica Is admired and held in esteem by all who know her. Intramural Sports 1, 2; Committee Work 2; Wampus Typist 3; Spanish Club 3. Richard T. Bingham Dickie is a Jovial and high spirited companion at any hour of the day or night, and moments spent In his presence are never dull. He can call forth endless stories about those long-suffering Individuals, the Scotchman and the absent-minded professor. To Dickie, we owe many of our heartiest laughs and most excruciating puns. Committee.Work 3; Coin Club 3; Boys' Chorus 3, 4; Wampus 3; Service Club 3, 4. Irene D. Bishop Judging by her high sohool record, Irene will beoome 8omebody'8 stsnog.■ She Is a speedy and a sure typist and a swift and certain worker, which will undoubtedly propel her for- Ward to a successful position. So well does she do this kind of work, that she has held the office of Claes Secretary for two consecutive years.

Bishop Steve Is the despair of his teachers and the life of his classes, and all our hearts yield a place for his mischievous, carefree, and talkative ways. He has done his work well as ■keeper of the candy and was high scorer for '36 In the intramural basketball tournament.

His humor and Individuality have made him well-liked by all those who know him, and a complete puzzle to those who don't. Beneath his towering dignity and reserve, there lies a warm understanding and a genial heart.

Howard Borgstrom The statement that appearances are deceiving might certainly apply to Howard. He speaks In a slow, drawling manner, yet so clear and logical are his statements that he never falls to clinch his argument or drive home his point. He never allows himself to become flustered or ruffled in any way, but Is always slow, certain and steady and has secured a stronghold on our admiration. Kamera Club 1; Intramural Sports 1; Service Club 3, 4; Committee Work 2. Lillian £. Bott Lillian comes from the wind-swept hills and dales of Rockaway Valley and her personality reflects her environment. She Is like a cooling breeze passing over our fervid brow. Although she Is quiet and reserved her cheerful personality has been felt by all. A neat and tidy appearance added to dignity go to make up a most delightful and valuable friend. Jack Brady Jackie Is the smallest member of our class but far from the quietest. His laughing blue eyes and good natured expression are ever present while frowns and scowls seec entirely left out of his make-up. Jack Is quite a fisherman and some Whopper teller. In fact we have yet to discover why one of those huge trout, of which he seems to catch such an abundance, does not open his mouth and swallow him. Committee Work 2, 3; Spanish Club 3; Chorus 3, 4. 1935 Dorothy M. Braunstein Dotty le perhaps our most silent and conservative senior girl. Her only conspicuous characteristics are her neat and tidy appearance and her good taste. She Is seen often with her Llnooln Park neighbor and dose friend, Thelma Evans. Intramural Sports 2. Eugene J. Breiding Gene Is another person who accomplishes his alms efficiently and commendably with little fuss or noise. In the classroom he Is quiet, a dependable worker, and a good student. His a-blllty Is further exemplified by the fine and hard work that he puts In as treasurer of the Hl-Y. Band 2; Intramural Sports 2; Committee Work 3; German Club 3; Boys' Chorus 4. Elsie C. Brown Elsie Is a nymph-llke person who almost seems to be floating as she walks because she treads so lightly. She has wild curly blond hair that seems to defy her every effort of taming It. However, her hair certainly does not detract from her beauty, but on the contrary It greatly enhances her natural attractiveness. Elsie has a good voice and a very good sense of rythm.

Budzenek Helen Is perhaps the tallest member of the senior class but she 1s also one of the prettiest. While she possesses good opinions she rarely expresses herself, but Is rather content to listen to others and to reserve her thoughts for her own Immediate group of friends. Helen has a Jaunty wain all her own, by whioh we oan always Identify her. Glee Club 1, Spanish Club 3; Committee Work 1, 2. 1635 Frances Buis Modest and easily embarrassed, Frances can be seen many times a day with her face suffused by a bright crimson flush which spreads way down the baok of her neck and way up to the roots of her hair and oauses her ears to tingle furiously She has a contagious giggle which has upset the equilibrium of many a class and she is a happy and peppy companion, whose presence is in constant demand about the school Intrumural Sports 2, 3. Robert R. Burbridge Bob has been distinguished throughout his high school life In two very prominent ways. The first le his regular attendance at every school function, regardless whether it be a ■hop , a play, or a concert; the other is his red hair and freckles. Bob has alwAys been a loyal, willing classmate and hAS played his part in bringing reputation to that famous town of Lincoln Park. Intramural Sports 2, 3, 4; Committee Work 4; Chorus 2, 3, 4. Janet C. Burghardt A tiny person with more ability per cubic inch than anyone we know, describes Janet. She ha6 never a moment s peace for her services are constantly required either for typing, writing, or Just for her sensible opinion. What leisure time she has is actively filled with humor and sweetness. Whether we like Janet more when she is working or playing, is a decision we find extremely difficult to make. (HR) 2; Treasurer of Class 2; Wampus Staff 4; Committee Work 1, 2, 3, 4; Year Book Staff 4; National Honor Society 4. Jane C. Burns Jane has only recently become a member of our class and so we are not so well acquainted with her as we would like to be. She seems to be very courteous and tries very hard to please. Her conduct in the class room is unimpeachable and she never causes anyone any trouble or delay. She has kept herself s little in the background of school affairs but nevertheless, she has very good school spirit. 1935 R. Earlynne Calaway A broad grin, then a hearty rippling laugh acoompanled by a sly wink—that’s the frame of mind in which we most always find Earlynne, She is a swell listener; perhaps that’s why she’s talked to so much, but we also like to oonverse with her because we never tire of hearing her rich, melodious southern tones. She never lacks oompanlonship and is most at home singing in the corridors with a group of her friends. Committee Work 4, Theresa M. Caldara If there were any such thing as girl football heroes”, believe us Theresa would be one. She would be our star four-letter” woman. As it i8, she is the idol and the envy of all the girls who delight in athletio events. Theresa is equally adept at soccer, basketball, baseball, or track. There she has been the mainstay of our girls’ class team all through her four years of high school. She is not at all forward nor obstreperous, but she has a very attractive personality and is thoroughly diligent in her work. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Year Book Staff 4. Herbert L. Cantrell Long, Lean, and Lanky are the adjeotlves that best describe ”Herbie.” He seeks seclusion and does not enjoy being in the public eye. He is another of our better-known followers of I-zaac Walton’s pastime, and on summer nights he can often be found on the reservoir bridge swatting mosquitoes, and fishing for catfish. Judging by the sounds we heard from time to time, we guess that the mosquitoes were doing a lot more biting than the fish. He is a willing follower and enjoys helping others. Committee Work 4; Band 2. Frank Cecelio ■Bud’s harmonious feet and never mussed hair have made him the feminine heart throbber of B. H. S. His beaming smile and sparkling eyes reveal hie light-hearted nature. Besides being an accomplished dancer, Bud is also an excellent musician and a plugger in football.

Carter Childs Meet the ■little giant of B.H.S. , Carter Childs. Every Inch of him Is labeled ■Dynamite-Handle With Care. When Carter explodes, look out, for no obstacle as yet has successfully withstood his dynamic energy and enthusiasm. He Is the little coxswain who has pepped up and pushed on to sucoess many a wobbly cause and enterprise. One of his admirable qualities Is that one can entirely relax and be oneself with him but still not exceed him In good nature, ribbing, and humor. As a friend he Is delightful and amusing. As a student, he Is Intelligent, dignified, and outstanding. Carter, we salute you] Intramural Sports 1, 2; Committee Work 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 2; Junior Play 3; Senior Play 4; Wampus 4; Cheerleader 4; Debate 4; Service Club 4; National Honor Society 4; Editor- ln-Chlef of Year Book 4. Anna Chimble Anna has black hair and deep, dark, mischievous eyes and she possesses a very cheerful personality. A large part of the fun and pranks the t take place on that misplaced Tump-kin shell , the Parsippany school bus, con be traced to Anna. She certainly keeps that carnival spirit alive wherever she goes. Chorus 2, 4; County Chorus 2. Elizabeth Conklin Elizabeth follows the theme of an old proverb which states that Silence Is Oolden. She Is a very thoughtful girl and seems to spend many of her hours lost In deep reveries. She always presents a very neat and tidy appearance which seems to be characteristic of her mental state. She Is a pretty girl and while she does not enjoy the company of a large group she does find pleasure In her own small circle of friends by whom she Is liked and admired. Elizabeth has an attractive, though retiring, personality. Intramural Sports 2, 3, 4. Margaret D. Costello The characteristic of Margaret's that has made the deepest Impression upon us Is her smile. It Is not Just a common grin, but on the contrary It 18 a most extraordinary one. It Is large, bright, beaming and lights up all her facial features. We are quite sure If she smiled In the dark we could see It. Her grin Is a good representative of her nature - amiable, easy, and agreeable. She Is one who couldn't avoid being liked If she tried. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Committee 1935 Beatrice M. Crane A peal of bell-llke laughter, followed by a high pitched voice talking with great rapidity and gesticulation, - that's Bee. She Is, however, one of our better student artiste and her talent Is quite remarkable. Even though she Is so happy, she Is a very well behaved girl and during classes shows the utmost courtesy for her teaohers and fellow-classmates. German Club 2. Joseph W. Crawford Joe came to us about half way through our freshman year and since then ha6 become a prominent figure about the corridors and cloak rooms of our school. He has a great and undying Interest In amateur radio, and is quite an authority upon this subject. He Is also very sclen-tlflcally-mlnded and has taken some science course every year that he has been with us. With his graduation many sighs of relief will be breathed about the school, for you see Joe Is an active head of the Waraous scandal column. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Committee Work 2, 3; Junior Play; Wampus 3, 4. Irene M. Daneski Irene Is almost as silent as she is small. However the size of her stature has no bearing at all on the size of her accomplishments. She has made her high school days notable by her excellent and continual scholastic achievements. The times are few and far between when Irene’s name cannot be found on the high honor roll and It has never been missing from the honor roll. She Is very retiring but Is always willing to help anyone who asks her assistance. Committee Work 3, 4; Librarian 4. Antonetta F. Del Grosso ■Daley Is a frivolous, light-hearted, and gay person who brightens up our classes each day with her Joy-overflowing personality. She has always a broad, cheerful smile on her face and a word of welcome on her lips. She Is a barrel of fun and her friends will never cease to be made happy by her winning ana amusing ways. Committee Work 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 2; Glee Club 3. 1635 Idamay W. Demmers Here we have an artistic and dreamy type of girl, who has a variety of not unworthy acoom-plisl.ment8. She is known for her achievements in the musical field as organist and pianist and also enjoys singing. Idanay's scholastic ability is the envy of those less energetic and persevering than she. Glee Club 1, 2, 4; Latin Club 1, 2; French Club 3; County Chorus 2; Senior Play. Thomas L. Demouth Tom may appear to be quiet and retiring during school hours but, once outside the building he la a back-slapping, hair-mussing, handshaking demon; he almost seems to be a Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in this respect. He has an amiable disposition, is a good sport, a fine athlete, and is always ready to be a party on some boisterous spree. Intramural Sports 3, 4. Nelson C. Doland Upon the first glance it is easy to perceive that Nels is the kind of student who never falls to do his homework, who strives for perfection, and who works not because he has to but because he enjoys the thrill of accomplishment and loves to see a hard task commendably completed. He seeks neither seclusion nor attention, but is contented to associate with his own group of tried and true companions. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 2; Service Club 3, 4; Intramural Sports 4. Everett F. Doremus Brie is a problem to his teachers because, perhaps, his enthusiasm for forestry so greatly exceeds his interest in school work. His hobby is roaming through the woods and fields at unearthly hours. He does not hide himself, however, for with his ready wit and friendly humor he is a first class entertainer at parties. A lover of practical Jokery and crazy pranks is Evie. 1935 Madeline Doremus Who is that well dressed very attractive girl whom we see in the company of Johanna Vor-werk so often? Why, it's no one but our KSadel-lne! She is shy and modest, but those two factors seem to fit right in with her nature and only serve to offset her quiet beauty. She is very agreeable and always cooperates with any class or school project that may be on hand. Intramural Sports 1, 2; Committee Work 2, Charles E. Drake ■The Baker's Broadcast may think that they have Joe Penner under contract, but we are inclined to doubt it. After listening on Sunday evenings to that well-known comedian, it is certainly startling to hear the same tones and inflections of ■Ooh, I didn't knoow thaat! floating down the halls on Monday morning. But that is Just Chick's most realistic impersonation. He is a boisterous, exuberant companion, but he ha6 also his serious side which he has shown to us by thoughtful and cooperative leadership as president of the Boys' Hi-Y.

Nicholas Drugac Nick is one of the Montvllle Tigers , (a ball team of no little renown), and he certainly lives up to their reputation. Whenever the word baseball is mentioned, we always think of Nick , who holds down that hottest of hot 89cks - third base on the high school ball team. He is a serious-looking boy, but we assure you that it is only a pose, for underneath he is Jammed full of win and vivacity which every now and then pop out in spite of his best efforts to retain a dignified appearance.

Edwards Long blond curls, usually held in check by a blue ribbon, a long gliding walk, and a peal of laughter that seems veritably to run right up the scale--that s the word picture that we associate with our popular companion, Elinor. She is a day dreamer, and we often see her with a vacant look in her clear, blue eyes and we imagine that she's building castles in the air. She also drives a car, and we would impart a word of warning to you, Elinor; don’t mix day dreaming with driving or something besides those air castles may tumble to the ground. Latin Club 1, 2; Intramural Sports 2, 3; Committee Work 2, 3. J Robert L. Eldridge Well-oombed hair, broad shoulders, and a sincere smile are the three moat striking characteristics that we see in Bob at a first glance. When we meet him In the hall he always greets us, not loudly, but in such a way that we feel that he really Is glad to see us, and we feel ourselves naturally drawn to his pleasing personality. He Is a good student and also a good athlete. Unfortunately he has not been able to gain distinction on school teams because he lives In one of Boonton's remote suburbs!

Evans Although quiet and reserved we know Thelma has a fine sense of humor. She always appreciates the funny happenings that crop up during the day In class, and her laughter accentuates her merry features. Thelma makes a fine friend we are told. Edward P. Farrand If you like strength, both of character and body, persistency, generosity and kindliness, you'll like Ebby. He always dresses simply but neatly, and his blond hair Is never mussed. We wonder if It can be modesty or that brisk farm air that gives him suoh a rosy complexion. No one could help but like Ebby. He has captured a place In our memory that no other will ever fill.

When you first meet her, you encounter a friendly glance and an unassuming smile. Then association loosens all restraint and out pour her qualities of generosity and simplicity. She paid a great compliment to hsr Alma Mater by returning to B. H. S. after transferring to a New York school for one week. Ruth said Boonton High appealed to her so much that she couldn't be happy In any other. 1935 Kurt B. Frankc On Kurt wo place our bet for the senior class 8 moat successful artist. Through his four years he has been outstanding for his fine and funny cartoons, as well as for his drawing and sketching. To Kurt, the Wampus owes a great debt of gratitude for the unselfish efforts he expended on its behalf, and the year book staff takes this opportunity to thank him for all the work and advice that he so cheerfully contributed, and to wish him much success in the years to come.

Fredricks A1 is a tall, modest boy who never forces himself on anybody but who always is willing to cooperate. He has been a regular figure in intramural sports and has also become one of the best pitchers of our school baseball team. Baseball 4. Margaret I. Freeman Dark hair, deep brown eyes, plus a lovely profile--that's the result of a first glance at Peg. To the casual observer she appears to be quite a serious young lady and perhaps she is, but she also possesses her lighter side which she never tries to conceal. She is undoubtedly the best actor in our class, and in her work is very creative and original. She also has a good voice and is a capable songster in the Glee Club. On you Peg we are placing the dramatic aspirations of the Class of '35 and we expect to see your name in lights before many years have elapsed.

He is so quiet and calm that we doubt If there Is anything that could excite him. Too, we suspect that his favorite pastime Is sleeping! However, when Jimmie does play or work he does It well and he has shown his ability by participation In Intramural Sports. Intramural Sports 2; Committee Work 2. Joseph F. Gigliotti A combination of seriousness, gaiety, earn-estness, and diligence Is Joe. He is a faithful worker and has done more during the past four years for the betterment of his school than any one other person. He is almost the father of the Service Club and is a keen sponsor of all Intramural activities. He has always maintained a very high scholastic standing. Joe, we of the Year Book Staff thank you for your cheerful cooperation even though you were not able to be one of us.

Charles E. Gilmartin Chas is more retiring than his brother Tom and he also has different interests. He enjoys fishing, and living so near the reservoir, he does a lot of it and not always from the bridge, we’ll wager! He is an ardent quoits enthusiast and he and Herby Cantrell have many close and exciting contests with the ’’ringers falling thick and fast. Charles is always a good sport and ready and willing to do anything that the gang wants. Committee Work 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys' Chorus 2, 3, 4. Thomas J. Gilmartin We used to have the impression that Tommy was a retiring sort of boy who sought solace in seclusion but we have been forced to change our opinion. He has become an active participant at all the school dances! Then too he also has been seen driving a delivery truck at a very speedy pace. His generosity and courtecusneas have attracted many friends to him. County Chorus 3; Committee Work 1, 2, 3, 4. 1935 Robert J. Goodwin To the casual observer Bob’s motto seems to be, Silence is Golden , and perhaps It Is. But believe us he certainly is a natural athlete. Agile, quick, and graceful, he can play any game well. He’s a fast and shifty runner, a good shot in basketball, and a slugger in base ball. He is always ready and willing to abide by the decision of the umpire and give his opponent the advantage. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4. Mildred A. Gordon Mildred is another one of our senior girls who believe that smiling is the best policy, and that smile is only one of the many symptoms of her unfailing optimism. She has kept herself in retirement for these past four years but lately she too has been making a bid for the limelight. Harry F. Helbig Harry is one of the Germantown boys and lives up to all that they stand for: fun, frolic, and foolery. His two outstanding possessions are his sorely-scratched Chevle and his much-abused good nature. Several of our school high steppers would feel themselves thoroughly stranded if his Chevle failed to run some Saturday night. Harry's popularity is eternally recorded on the battered speedometer of his flying vehicle.

She may be looked down upon, in respect to stature, but she is looked up to and admired for her initiative and progressiveness. Her clever bantering has been a constant source of amusement to her classmates but has not detracted from her sophistication.

She will never lack friends as long as she retains her friendly smile and her unsophisticated and amiable manner which have endeared her to us. Possessing so much animation it seems only natural that she should turn to cheerleading to express herself and it is needless to go into detail about the fine Job she did in that capacity. Her part in the senior play also aided no little in accentuating her typical characteristics. Intramural Sports 1, 2; Committee Work 1, 2; Cheer Leader 2, 3; Senior Play. C.

She enjoys her school and her school work and she not only never falls to do her homework but also she Is constantly alert for outside reading which has a direct bearing on her school subjects. Andrew S. Kuchta Andy Is another student whose name we constantly connect with that great game of baseball. For the past two years he has done excellent work both at bat and In the field, as our varsity backstop. This year he also made a dependable and heady Jump center on our Jayvee's basketball team. Andy, we hope to see you someday Catching 'em up for some big league outfit. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3; Basketball 4; Anna M.

Leibundgut Edie has not been with us for all four years, having Joined our class about half way through the sophomore year. Since that time she has made a place for herself In everyone's heart. She la our singing senior for there Is hardly a day when she hasn't a new song on her lips to which her pleasing voice lends attraction. She has an affectionate nature and no one will contest the fact that she is a very charming person. Chorus 3, 4; Service Club 3, 4. Felice G.

She takes pride in performing her tasks carefully and in handing her assignments In neatly and promptly; She has dark wavy hair that causes many of our class beauties much envy. At all times she shows the earnest desire to be of assistance and to accomplish her alms quickly and with the greatest amount of perfection. Intramural Sports 2. Joseph A.

Joe Is one of our star wleecrack-ers and can be seen many times during the day starting the boys laughing with one of his ready quips. 1635 Alfred A. MacCoun Al hasn't been with us very long but during his stay has made himself a popular boy. He doesn't go seeking a place In the sun but Is rather content to move slowly and let others do the rushing. He never forces himself upon other people and when in a group conducts himself very quietly. However when alone with a few of hla friends he Is quite capable of raising rough-house and enjoying himself as loudly and as fully as the best of them. Alva M. Manning has art individual and a rare personal-♦are« ttr ?ted by her sincere manner, her quiet poise, and her frank, open smile. We admire her greatly because she doesn't Just com-plste her work but she strives for perfection In all that she attempts. She dresses neatly and simply and her appearance portrays her sweet disposition. Doris V. Manning Here Is the other portion of the Manning duet and a good portion It Is too. Doris goes about her work In a calm, systematic way. Who has ever seen her in anger or despair? No one, we'll wager, for she Is one In a thousand who can hide her emotions behind an entirely unruffled exterior. Molly M. Maraziti Here Is one of our most capable and Intelligent senior girls. Yes, she Is quiet, and she Is blessed with the gift of silent determination which allows nothing to swerve her from her self-destined goal. Naturally she accomplishes a great deal and It Is for this reason that Molly finds herself so often doing Jobs and filling positions that Involve a great deal of responsibility.

By observing her actions during school we might get the Impression that she's shy and retiring, for she conducts herself very quietly during school hours, but that would be a false conclusion.

She sometimes gets giggling fits In class that almost create a panic. Sh® and Elinor are found together much of the time and they are certain to be laughing whenever they are seen. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3; Committee Work 2, 4; Dramatic Club 3. Howard E. Steele Although he Is not very well-known to all of us, we have received a very fine Impression of him by the comments of his friends. He is modest and shy, yet possesses the stalwart quality of tenacity which he has shown by his performance on the track team in the mile run. Everyone knows how grueling this race is yet, Howard gives his best to this and every other one. Intramural Sports 2; Spanish Club 3; Track 4. Dorothy W. Stevens Judging by all the pictures that we have seen her exhibiting in some cluases, we have come to the concluaion that Dorothy is quite a follower of the Hollywood Heroes and Heroines. True, we have never seen her with any dime movie magazines but perhaps she reads the better type. She is extremely good natured and her sense of humor is constantly cropping out.

She is a combination of charm, Intelligence, and popularity. We will never forget the fine work that she did when she was secretary of the freshman class and we are sure that she will carry to completion all that she endeavors In life as successfully as she handled that first assignment. Secretary of Class 1; Latin Club 1; Orchestra 3; Intramural Sports 2; Committee Work 2. 4. James F. Terenzio Jimmy is another of those misleading persons who is quiet enough on the surface but who inwardly is so much bottled dynamite. Those who know Jim realize tie t he is bubbling over with happiness und know that he is always reudy to join in the fun. He is both a fine musician and a good athlete. We can sum him up in a few words; he’s a Regular Fellow. Orchestra 3, 4. Harry C. Terrill A quiet senior and a snapoy dresser Is Harry, quiet only In unfamiliar 'surroundings. His spare time Is given over to puttering with hie car and fooling with the boys from Germantown. Harry's Interests also turn to motor-boats, which Implies adventure and many escapades. Committee Work 3. Dorothy L. Tucker Dot is the most dignified of all the senior girls. She is the quiet, conservative, type who achieves her results quickly and who depends entirely on her own resources and does not bother her class mates or teachers for aid. She has a large vocabulary, which she uses to good a-vail, and she commands all the Intricate figures of speech. Her goal in life is to be an author and we can truthfully say that during these last four years she strove diligently to master the aub.lects which would aid her most to realize her aim.

He takes his sohool-work seriously though and strives for results. Bob gets befuddled sometimes but always manages to come through with a smile. While he seldom revqals his true self to us about school, we hear he is full of fun at home. Margaret E. Vanderhoof Demure and quiet as she is, Margaret is equally as adept in the art studio as site is on the basketball court or soccer field. She is very creative end original and her opinions as well as her drawings are valued very highly by all. She is very pretty with her rosy cheeks and brown curly hair. She blushes very easily but this only serves to heighten and accentuate her natural beauty. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Art Editor, Year Book Staff 4. Orlin S. Van Duyne Orlln is a very polite young man; he holds the doors open, he never crosses in front of anyone, and he is always looking for an opportunity to be of assistance. We owe him a vote of than s for the valued assistance that he gave so readily when working on the scenery committee for our senior play. He often sits in hie classes and says nothing but he listens very carefully and very soon he breaks his silence with a good bit of common sense or a question that is a problem to answer. Committee Work 4; Service Club 3, 4. Barbara B. Van Fleet Dignified, sophisticated and yet so friendly—that 8 our Barbara. She is looked up to and respected by her friends, and her good taste has made itself apparent in her dress and actions, for she is neatness personified.

She Is an earnest and diligent worker as well as a speedy ana sure typist and she can always be depended on to get her work in on time. Intramural Sports 2; Committee Work 4: Wampus 4. John J. Vnenchak If you like people who are crammed full of fun and frollo, you will enjoy Johnnie's company From the eyes of an observer, we should say that he certainly has his share In the foolery and comedy which prevail among the boys from 108. A-round those who know him Johnnie has the reputation of one popular fellow. Intramural Sports 2, 3, 4. Johanna M. Vorwerk Jo , although quiet and self-effacing, has built up an admirable record both scholastically and athletically.

His appearance at every dance Is Just as regular as that of the orchestra. His calm and restful attitude and Indifference to things academic are the despair of his teachers and the delight of his classmates. Latin Club 1, 2; Interclass Basketball 1, 2; Committee Work 3, 4. Doris E. Wettstein Fastidious, attractive, and well-dressed is the picture that we most often get of Doris. 3he has a reputation of being a fine fellow and a good snort and one who does not shirk her duties. In addition to all this, she is a divine dancer and is in constant demand with both eex-es. Any day after school we can find her in the typing room with her flying fingers whizzing over the keyboard to complete some work for the Wampus or the Year Book. To sum her up one word is all that is necessary--versatility. Committee Work 2; Intramural Sports 2; Warpus 4; Service Club 4. Grace R. Wettstein Grade's brilliant work on the basketball court, her steady and strenuous efforts on the soccer field, and her hard hitting and good fielding on the baseball team have made her one of the outstanding girl athletes.

After a little of the green wore off , the class resolved itself into a well-organized unit. Miss Mildred N. Brown was appointed class adviser after which class officers were elected. President, Molly Marazltl; Vice-president, George Baker; Treasurer, Barbara Husk; Secretary, Evelyn Summerbell. With these leaders the class Joined In the social activities of the school. The freshman party, however, was the only major activity In which the freshmen participated. The reins changed hands at the beginning of the second year. The class was guided In its sophomore year by Mrs. J. K. Engel and, as is customary, new class officers were elected and Inducted Into office. The officers were: President, George Baker; Vice-president, Irene Bishop; Treasurer, Janet Burghardt; Secretary, Robert Eldrldge. In the spring of the year the most popular Informal social event of the year was presented. We sailed neath tropical skies In a ballroom which represented the good ship Sophomore, dancing to rhythmic music of the Totowa De Molay Orchestra. Time passed swiftly. New changes were made In class officers for the Junior year. The results of the election were: President, Irving Miller; Vice-president, Molly Marazltl; Treasurer, Rudolph Herrmann; Secretary, Irene Bishop. Miss T. Oremlana was appointed faculty adviser. One of the most unusual and amusing comedies ever presented In the high school was The Poor Nut , the Junior Play. A very short time after this In May the Juniors presented their Prom. Japanese gardens furnished sin unusual and enticing atmosphere. The close of the school year was marked by four appointments from the Junior Class to the National Honor Society. As seniors the height of school ambition had been realized and the class proceeded to utilize Its privileges. The greatest student honor this year was bestowed upon Olga Schaeffer, who was elected president of the Student Regalian Association. With Frank Kromka at the helm, George Baker as first mate, Dorothy O'Brien as purser, and Irene Bishop as Scribe, we sailed smoothly through the year. Again the class chose a comedy for Its Senior Play. This time the Three Cornered Moon , which proved a great success. A movie, a dance, a banquet and a year book rounded our a very successful four years In Boonton High School. Arthur Blanchard, Jr. Daniel M.

We were Indeed fortunate In our first year In being able to stage a major production Our presentation was a minstrel show, entitled ■Garden Galtles which starred such performers as Betsy Vincent, Frances North, Arnold North, Evelyn Weeks, and Louise Rogers. In our second year we transformed the John Hill auditorium Into a spacious zeppelln hangar, and there amidst the soft lights and the sweet music of Marshal Sangster's Aristocrats, our Hod was presented. Our Junior Play The Thirteenth Chair was a thrilling mystery drama that exposed the latent talents of many unknown actors, among whom were Louise Rogers, Eddie Smith, Joseph Hart, Harold Curtiss, Stuart Platt, Lucille Damon. Alice Lohr, and others. Once again our class added a successful bit to Its already rapidly swelling list. Our three years of great activity were culminated In the presentation of the annual Prom , a dance that furthered the already well-established reputation of our class. Much of our class's good fortune can be traced to the able supervision of Miss Dorothy A. Catlaw, who has been our faoulty adviser for the past three years . Our class officers for the past three years have been: First Year: President, Columbus Verdi; Vice-President, William Berce; Secretary, Warren Lindquist; Treasurer, Albert Miller. Second Year: President, Jean Wright; Vice-President, Columbus Verdi; Secretary, Claire Stackhouse; Treasurer, Raloh Scandlln. Third Year: President, Helen Blanchard; Vice-President, Robert Cornell; Secretary, Warren Lindquist; Treasurer, Anna Barnlsh. SOPHOMORES The Sophomore Class has been guided tenderly this year with watering pot and pruning shears by its offleers—Elmer Nietzold, president; Esme Kirkwood, vice-president; Woodrow Pepe, treasurer; and Helen Bohon, secretary. It was represented on the student council by Esme Kirkwood, Andrew Sabol, Thomas Lohr, and Albert Mitchko, alternate . Its claim to distinction this year was the Sophomore Hop. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Sawyer and Andrew Sabol, chairman of the ticket committee, the dance was carefully planned and well carried out. The Spanish atmosphere was enhanced by six gorgeous shawls draped over the balcony. Fed and yellow silhouettes of Spain's dashing daughters were effectively placed against a black background. The Sophomore Class is also proud of its member, Victor Hillery for his success on the debating team. The class is looking forward to another great year next year with James Hitchcock, president; Elaine Estler, Vice-President; Elmer Niet-zold, treasurer; and Helen Bohon, secretary. The council members for next year are Priscilla Capen, Esme Kirkwood, Victor Hillery, Andrew Sabol, and Alexander Flandreau, alternate. FRESHMEN September third, nineteen thirty-four was a memorable day in the annals of dear old Boonton High. You might ask why. It was because on this day two hundred and fifty excited, eager freshmen, spirits bubbling over with quelled anxiety, awaited the bell to admit them to the portals of their new alma mater. It took quite a while to settle down to the routine which the wise and knowing (?) seniors demonstrated, but soon a foothold was gained and election day came. Arthur Bud Osborne was elected president and has shown himself a true leader by bringing us to the end of our school year with flying colors. Martha Zeltner, Wilbur Moss, and Mary Ofsonka were elected vice-president, treasurer and secretary respectively. Lest we forget (but how could we!), Mrs. Cohen was aopolnted as our class adviser and we all wish to thank her for her sincere and kindly service which has helped us Immensely. Southern Echoes —the memory lingers on. January seventeenth and eighteenth saw the high school transported down South near a cabin in the pines with sky of blue o'erhead. In this presentation the Freshmen Class made their debut. It far surpassed all previous efforts in dramatic presentations of the Freshmen. Among the outstanding performers were Edward Tucker, Nicholas Barbagallo, Henry Benjamin, William Dixon, Steward Nichols, Kenneth Huseong, William Igleheart, Victoria DeFiore, Grace Leone, Frieda Drexel, Charlotte Neltzold, and Jayne Shannon. Rocco Franchl, a Freshman, was a member of the varsity basketball team. More freshmen succeeded in getting on the baseball team. Our old stand-by, Clifford (Cippy) Christensen, and Arthur Osborne are now sporting baseball uniforms. The year is over, but other years are to come. Next year we will be sophomores and hope to keep up the work thus started. With a clean slate of officers we will endeavor to forge ahead in the waters of life with Edward Tucker at the helm of our ship Success. ■ 4 HOMEMAKING COOKING CLASS CAFETERIA MANUAL TRAINING EXTRA-CURRICULA ACTIVITIES Extra-curricular life Is an Integral part of the modem high school and exerts a strong Influence In the training of students _ In Boonton High Sohool.

Inset: Dr. Wiggins FOOTBALL This team, pictured above, will not be remembered for an undefeated season or for a aazzllng backfield ace or even for a starring linesman; In fact, they weren't very spectacular at all, but their names will be recorded a8 the scrappiest and fightlngest outfit that ever tore up a gridiron at Boonton. They don't look very big? Well, they aren't, but they pack a hearty wallop. Starting off rather poorly they were mauled and clawed by the much heavier and more experienced Bernardsvllle and Roxbury elevens, but they did not allow this to discourage them. As the date of the Morristown game approached, Boonton was more and more the critic's underdog and the boys were confronted with adverse criticism on ail sides. But lo and behold as the team trotted out of the locker room on that fateful afternoon, grim determination marked their faces and that do or die spirit literally pervaued the atmosphere. And that spirit worked an awful havoc; every linesman was converted Into a tackling, unstoppable wildcat while every back became a whirling, plunging demon and the whole team rose from the position of an underdog to that of a victorious monarch. Need we mention the fact that Morristown went home a badly bruised and defeated eleven. In a mad, hectic engagement Dover, our other formidable County rival, and Boonton fought scorelessly for four thrill-packed periods, with neither side gaining that much sought-after advantage. However, soon after Dover dropped the decision In its contest with Morrletown leaving Boonton the un-dlsputable class A Morris County champions, a title that has been ours for two consecutive years. To Coach Shrlner is due much of this year's football success and we who are graduating wish him all the luck In the world ana many more championship teems. Seated; J. Bolcar, A. Martone, D. Allen, J.

A few dribbles, a flip pass to an eager mate, then the familiar swish of leather through the net. The basketball season Is on. To Coach Shrlner fell the task of molding a basketball team from the very few remaining veterans and the numerous untried applicants, and a fine Job he did too . There were times during those thrilling hectic winter months when our boys struck some pretty tough snags and many an Inexperienced team would have thrown up the sponge, but not our fellows . By their courageous efforts and dauntless spirit they overthrew that threat of discouragement and tipped over many of our larger and supposedly better opponents, closing the season with eleven vlotorles and nine defeats . A splendid accomplishment for so new a team and a credit to the ablll-ty of Coach Shrlner.

STUDENT REGALIAN ASSOCIATION The Students' Regalian Association of Boonton High School is a model of a democratic organization wherein all members may to ice their opinion and vote on all business. So far-reaching is the member’s power that throughout the past year r ny new amendments and intricate changes have been embodied in its constitution. New methods of election and the revision of the reward system are examples of such changes. This legislation takes place in the bi-monthly meetings of the S. R. A. The appropriation of money to carry on school activities, the enforcement of its constitution and its by-laws, and the power to create or dissolve any organization in the school are exerolsed by the executive body of this organization--the council. With the capability of its president, Olga Schaeffer, the inspirational advice of Mr. L. A. E. Booth, the faculty adviser, combined with the fine work of the council members, a most successful year is being completed. Seated; F. Kromka, M. Marazltl, J. Glgllottl, I. Miller, R. Herrmann, J.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Striving at all tiroes to live up to Its four ideals - character, scholarship, leadership, and service - the National Honor Society has always served as a potential factor in maintaining the high standards and ideals of Boonton High School. This year the officers and senior members of the Society—lrving Miller, president; Rudolph Herrmann, vice-president; Joseph Gigliotti, secretary; and Frank Kromka, treasurer--have tried to carry on the work and traditions of the Chapter as others before then have done. In this work they were aided immeasurably by Mr. Spurway, faculty adviser, who offered freely his advice and ideas. In the fall, the National Honor Society took charge of an assembly program., delivering a series of talks on safety, character, and health. Just before the Christmas vacation, the Chapter presented to the school a pair of potted ferns, and during the vacation it held an informal dinner and dance at the Meadowbrook Country Club. Climaxing the year, came the annual initiation banquet, an impressive affair held at the Lake Valhalla Country Club. Since no state association of National Honor Societies is in existence, our Chapter attempted to bring the twenty-four other New Jersey organizations together at the banquet, with the idea of starting such an association. Next year's society intends to carry on the work and accomplish something more material. Besides the four members elected lost year, fourteen core seniors and juniors were elected to the society this April: Seniors—Janet Burghardt, Mollie Marazltl, Olga Schaeffer, Arthur Blanchard, Carter Childs, Edward Farrand, Daniel Muhlmelster, Joseph Padovano, and Howard Smith. Juniors--Heler. Blanchard (president-elect, ’SS-'Se); Claire Stackhouse (vice-president, ’35-';j6); Constance Pearson (treasurer, 35-'36); Jean Wright (secretary, 35-'36); and Virginia McLarin.

Service Club members do not act as policemen, but rather they serve to remind those who are exceeding the bounds of quietness, courtesy, or neatness. They serve to sour on latent school spirit and to bring out qualities of cooperation in the students. Since Its establishment in 1933, many of the school's major problems have been greatly alleviated. The traffic congestion in the corridors, although not altogether corrected, has been very much reduced, the general appearance of the school has greatly Improved, and the noise and confusion between classes has been brought to a minimum. The efficiency of the Club may be traced to: Mr. Boyer's hearty cooperation In aiding the organization In all phases of their activities; to the capable supervision of Ur. Finn, its faculty adviser; to the careful ©ildance of Joseph Glgllottl, Its president; and to the cheerful and willing spirit of helpfulness that Its members furthered at all times. Next year the organization will be Increased to twice Its present membership in order that its members can enjoy more freedom. By having such a large enrollment, It will be possible to have two shifts of student patrolmen, the first to work one week, and the second to work the next. By this arrangement, Service Club members will not be continually hampered by their duties and will be able to participate in other activities. First Row: E. Westura, M. Vetter, V.

THE WAMPUS This year under the editorship of Irving “l t ‘ th Sar Pole as Faculty Advisor, the Wampus has ““P ? our school paper. During these twelve years it has 5 ?“ firmly in the annals of Boonton High School. A oh«r er Columbia Scholastic Press Association, it is now also a member of the North Jersey Soholastlo Press Association. A series of fifteen issues in the year 1934-35 have b« n ntAnn published and well-received by the students. A 8Pe J J®1 drive carried on through the homerooms, increased the number of sub 2cr”;« Santl.lly.

A fine department of student opinion, en titled ’'Soap-Boxing' , has enlisted the interest and sympathy, as wall as the comnjnlcat Ions of many readers. Recently, Mr. Pole, the editor, and several members of the staff attended a Preas Conference at Lehigh University, in Pennsylvania, where they received many helpful suggestions for future Improvement of the paper.

LIBRARY STAFF In Boonton High School there is a group of loyal members who quietly and successfully accomplish a moat responsible end exacting task, the maintenance and regulation of the high school library. They measured up to the expectation placed on them and throughout the year evinced a oroad policy of cooperation and service while on duty. They have unselfishly devoted their time to moke the library system a model of organization and efficiency. The degree of success with which they carried out their program for the year is a splendid compliment to the untiring efforts anc wise guidance of Mrs. Roy Tolliver, Miss Rose Marazltl. end Miss Dorothy Hegeler. THE POOR NUT The Poor Nut , a rollicking comedy farce, was our class's bid for fame during Its Junior Year. That play has gone down In the annals of Boonton High School as one of the most successful and unusual productions ever to be offered from the auditorium stage. With a fact-moving plot and a capable and enthusiastic cast to aid him, Prank Kromke made the character of John Miller The Poor Hut a living person enjoyed and sympathized with by all. Then there was ’'Spike Hoyt, sarcastic and overbearing, as ably portrayed by Charles Potts, while Margaret Freeman as the vamp ana Prlecilla Jones mu the coy co-ed tied for honors In the feminine leads. These principals were assisted by the largest cast ever to take part In a Boonton High School performance. Snappy dialogues and amusing situations arose, In the attempt to straighten out the Poor Hut's 'ego', and abetted by a sporting collegiate atmosphere allowed not a single dull moment throughout the whole play. We extend to Mrs. Booth and to Mr. Meadowcroft our slncerest appreciation and gratitude for their unstinted time end effort spent as coaches, for It was largely through their cooperation that this performance was made possible. ■ •THREE CORNERED MOON Featured at the top of all aoclal activities In our laat year, Three Cornered Moon , a hilarious three-act comedy, sprinkled with many touching moments and possessing a fast-moving plot was presented very successfully by the seniors. Who can forget the maternal instinct aroused by Marion Hewitt In her portrayal of the fluttery mother, Mrs. Rinpligar ? As Elizabeth , Margaret Freeman further established her reputation as a fine actress and Frank Kromka made the character of Donald, a sensitive, nervous poet, virtually live In our memories. Charles Potts, as Douglas proved his natural acting abilities while Howard Smith afforded the audience much laughter by his characterization of Kenneth. Idamay Demmers, the quiet Swedish maid, adapted herself well to the difficult Swedish dialect, while Carter Childs, the youngest Rim-plegar, supplied an added dramatic touch to the play. Dr. Stevens, the strong-willed resolute friend of the Rinplegars, seemed a natural part for Arthur Blanchard, and Kitty, the Brooklyn flapper, was admirably portrayed by Mary Hohenshllt. The members of the cast are to be commended for their cooperation during rehearsals and for their excellent performances. The property and scenery committees are also to be complimented for their competent handling of their respective duties. To Miss Brinser who so ably directed the presentation and to Mr. William Meadowcroft, every class's faithful friend, for his worthy advice and kindly supervision, the senior class is indebted. J.

DEBATE Just after Christnas vacation, Boonton High School began to think of its annual debating activities. A call was issued to students and, in favorable contrast to lest year's season, not eight but about twenty would-be debaters answered. The resolution chosen for the try-outs was—Resolved: that the N. R. A. violates the spirit of the American Constitution. Many excellent speeches were delivered, and the Judges, members of the faculty, found the task of choosing teams not an easy one. Finally the teams were organized, and real work began. The resolution now officially chosen was one which has been debated in many schools and colleges throughout the country. namely--Resolved: that the Federal Government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and secondary education. Last year, Boonton debated in a triangular league with Fassalc and Clifton. This season, however, word was received from Clifton that they would not enter the league this year. As da'.es had already been set, the debates with Passaic remained as scheduled, and it was arranged that our teams should meet with Dover High School, thus completing the necessary season of four debates. The first meeting was that of Boonton's Affirmative with Dover's Negative at Dover, the victory going to the Dover team. On the next evening, Dover's Affirmative met our Negative in Boonton and was defeated by them. The following Friday, our Negative Journeyed to Passaic, while our Affirmative met Passaic's Negative at home. This time both decisions went to Boonton. Thus Boonton High emerged victorious from a hard-working season with three victories against one defeat. Captains Helen Blanchard of the Affirmative and Irving Miller of the Negative are to be congratulated on their successful season. The teams and the entire school are extremely grateful to the coaches Mr. Booth and Mr. Pole, without whose tireless service and coaching, end clear, logical reasoning, the cases of the teams would never have had the stability which brought them, victorious, through the season.
