Rexroth CLARENCE E. BOYER Our supervising principal, Mr. Clarence E. Boyer, took over as Captain of the ship when we first entered the portals of B.H.S. The time has now arrived when we must leave the man who has so carefully and wisely steered us on to our future course in the outside world. We take with us memories of a friend and guide who strived along with us through four years of war and peace. Patiently understanding, his wholesome advice and guidance was always welcome. So now it is that we, in unison, step back and salute our Captain. ' LESLIE A. E. BOOTH Mr. Booth became principal during our first year in Boonton High, and throughout our four years he has been our loyal friend and staunch supporter, with our individual welfare always in mind. We have always known that we could go to Mr. Booth with our problems, large or small, and receive careful, thoughtful guidance. Always willing to cooperate with the students in every undertaking, Mr. Booth has been a fine example to us of all the fundamentals which go into making a well-rounded citizen of the world. t f I [ f f ' !,:iss I.:ARY E.

Greatly admired and beloved by the students, and respected and regarded with admiration by the other members of the faculty, r.'iss Price was an indispensable figure in the final goal of our class. HERBERT r. GLOSS A meeting with Mr. Gloss is sure to be full of smiles and laughter, for this man with the understanding eyes and pleasant voice is loved and respected by all of us. Throughout the year, whenever the going became rough, we could count on L'r. Gloss to see us through. His sensitive, artistic nature has captured us all, and his flourish with a pen and a dab of printers ink has been the guiding light of our yearbook. We can never thank him enough for the capable assistance and backing he has given us. Uon Benson. A.B. New York Univ.; Jean P. Bogdziewlcz, B.A. Montclair State College; Clyde F. Caplinger, A.B.

When electing officers came around, they chose Jacob Barnish as President; Joan Mason, Vice-President; Eleanor Spiedel, Secretary, and James McCormick, Treasurer. On March 14 and 15, the Frosh presented their rousing minstrel, Show Boat Ashore, the theme of which was the old show boat of the eighteen hundreds. The minstrel was coached by Miss Mary Rose Feagans, of the music department. Not to be outdone by the upper classmen, the freshman were also ably represented In the annual beauty contest finals held early in March. The Freshman Class adviser was Miss Jean 3odgziewloz. sophomores SOPHOMORE CLASS Getting off to a swell start this year, the Sophomore Class sold confections at the home football games. Known as the Sophomore Salesmen, these candymen were greatly appreciated. Their next function was to sponsor the Sophomore Dance, with the Starlight Room as its theme. Attractively decorated, one Look at the John Hill auditorium would have been sufficient to prove the dance was a huge success. In February, under the leadership of their faculty adviser, Miss Lillian Perlin, they sponsored the clothing salvage drive in school. The Class officers for '45-'46 were Qj.ck Wood, President, Bill McCoy, Vice-President, Ruth Duncan, Treasurer, and Ann Eenchy, Secretary. With the spirit this class has shown by participating in three functions rather than the usual one, it Is evident that the class of 48. will continue to be a credit to Boonton High School. juniors JUNIOR CDA.SS We find the Clas3 of 47 with Frankie Thompson decisively reelected President, Madeline Kranik serving her ihira term as Vice-President, Jane Eudrick as Secretary and Duane Barnes as Treasurer. When playtime came around they appropriately chose the play Junior Miss which starred M. Petrelli, L. Richardson, D. Barnes, M. Hunt, E. Makovsky and many others. During the Junior - Senior Magazine Drive, the Junior Class really showed what they were capable of, which resulted in a successful drive and a great boost to their treasury. In the middle of May came the Junior Prom, which left us all with that oh so wonderful feeling. The Senior Class could indeed be grateful to the Juniors for the masterful way in which they conducted, the Eaccalaureate Services and the Commencement Exercises. Senior Play- On November 0 and 9, 1945, the Senior Class presented as its play, the high school version of The Barretts of Wimpole Street. This dramatic presentation was the well-known story of the famous invalid poetess, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and her deep love for the poet, Robert 3rowning. The leading roles were portrayed by Eleanor Hornick, as Elizabeth Barrett, and Robert loppnan, as the poet Browning. Supporting players included Zachary Morfogen, Joan Hudack, George Crawford, Christopher Braybrooke, Sally Gonmoll, Alex Richardson, Olga Siegal, Anne Young, Virginia Cullen, and Alfred Arwe. The play was directed and coached by Kiss Mary Kenny of the faculty, and Mr. William Koadowcroft. Kiss Gloria Socci was in charge of properties, and Miss Mary Price, class advisor, supervised the various committees .

Claire Benedict was Drum Majorette, and Doris Einery, Gloria Gould and Eileen Riepp, twirlers. [ C SWING BAND Many an hour has been brightened by the solid sending of our swing band.

Our mixed Chorus has given us many fine examples of such entertainment, in assembly programs and other musical programs. The boys and girls also sang at the State Firemen's Home- during the past year. Miss R. Feagans is the leader of this group. GIRLS' CHORUS Music hath charms, especially when it Is rendered by our girls' chorus, under the direction of Kiss Mary Rose Feagans.

The Spring Recital, another festive occasion, with the singers in various colored gowns, and spring flowers decorating the auditorium. BOYS' CHORUS Another group which Miss Mary Rose Feagans may well be proud of is the small, but forceful boys chorus. Everyone enjoyed hearing the boys sing in their vigorous manner, and no other group could do so much Justice to songs like Stouthearted Men. Their musical program at the Firemen's home brought a bit of extra mer-iment to the Xmas holidays.

ATTENDANCE The Attendance Office, where we all seem to wind up sooner or later for a cut, absence, etc., is under the capable direction of Miss Gross and Mr. Hermann. The purpose of this office is to keep a clear record of the attendance of each student. Their staff includes. Claire Pine, Joan N as on, Marie Nikas, V. Riker , V.ary Petrelli, Eleanor Abrahamson and Marilyn Stalter. SOUND SQUAD Service with a smile might well be the motto of thj.s organization.

The squad is advised by Mr. Max Wlttnan. The equipment manager is Tony Lori; assistant equipment manager, Charles Sabatino; and assignment manager, Al Arwe’. STAGE COMMITTEE The few who make up this organization have one purpose in mind, to do a job well.

Free study periods are sacrificed and many hours after school are put into this undertaking. Advising the committee is the mechanical drawing teacher, hr. Earl Koran. SCOREBOARD SQUAD Keeping track of the ever-changing score during a hectic football game is the work of this group. It calls for fast-moving precision and an accurate knowledge of signals. Members include Kit Braybrooke, Alex Richardson, Charles Horn, Lyman Drake and Bill McCoy. Mr. Walter Rutt is the faculty adviser for the scoreboard squad. SPECIAL RECOGNITION There are certain activities which take, up a great deal of time but receive little recognition around school.

The janitor staff which does the heavy’’ clean up jobs... The Hi-Y group who keeps the school grounds, clean. FOOTBALL TEAM Starting off the season the Shrinermen lost to Pompton Lakes, to the tune of 21 to 0. Undaunted, the Red and Black showed-real power in defeating Roxbury 13 to 0 in a night game; another night game found boonton losing to Hockaway by 14 to 0. After making several goal line stands the team lost a heart breaker to Madison by the slim score of 6 to 0; the next Saturday the school turned out in force to see the ombers trounce the Bernardsville Eleven 23 to 0. Then the big day came, the game with Morristown.—Many students will think back on this game and remember it as a win for ue, but as the rain soaked spectators turned to leave the final score stood at Morristown 13, Boonton 7. Then the boonton gridsters hit their stride and went all out for a string of victories over Wharton, Dover and Butler winning by the scores of 6 to 0, 6 to 0, and 28 to 3, respectively. tfE SCHEDULE THEY PoMpton Lakes “21“ ! 13 Roxbury 0 ! 0 Rockaway 14 1 0 Madison 6 23 Bernardsville 0 7 Morristown 13 6 Wharton 0 6 Dover 0 128 Butler 3 ‘ 'I '• T 1 T � 1 ' 1 ' I ’ I ' ' I ; jr ' HIOHLIGHTS OP � 45 As we think of the season on the gridiron these memories are brought to mind— Ralph Paulozzo and Nickie Devacqua being injured in the Roxbury contest—Chewed up finger nails over the Madison game—’.Vhlteside � s 70 yard run to give Boonton tally in the first two minutes of play at Morristown --The Bombers break the Dover—Boonton Jinx by beating Dover 6 to 0--The swell work done by both line and the backs in the Butler game.

This year Coach Shriner will have completed 15 years of coaching at Boonton High. He has coached one state championship tea® in football besides guiding ®any grlusters to County trophies. He will always be remembered by the high Ideals that he stood for.
