BOONTON HIGH SCHOOL BOONTON, NEW JERSEY There is a banner in the sky The streaming Red and Black; Under it all Boonton’s foes Are gallantly turned back Her warriors brave have struggled on With steadfast lofty aim And place the shining Red and Black On enduring heights of fame. Rally to your colors now. For Boonton High School calls on you. PightI Fight for victory. And for honors true. RahS RahJ Raht Proudly she watches you-You will not fail her in the cause. With hearts loyal and true Bring your own colors thru Boonton1s Red and Blackl Our glorious flag which flaunts the breeze Breathes of a courage rare-Fine purposes and high resolves To challenge them who dare. While Boonton High School thus goes on Unswerving, firm and true. She looks to us to carry on Her works and ideals too. Helen C.

CLARENCE E. BOYER Our supervising principal, Mr. Boyer, has shown himself to be particularly we11 qualified for his responsible position.

His enthusiasm for music and his skill as an effective speaker have made his assembly programs both enjoyable and of value to us all. MR. LESLIE A. E. BOOTH Mr. Booth has proved to be a steadfast friend and a capable principal during our four short years of learning 8nd experience in Boonton High School. His versatility and outstanding achievements have proved to be a great benefit to us. Long years after we leave the portals of Boonton High School, we will remember Mr. Booth for his high ideals and sensible manner. MISS MARY E. PRICE Sincerity, friendliness, and a thorough understanding of students are just a few of the many likeable traits we admire in Miss Price. All who have associations with her are imbued with inspiration and encouragement through her pleasant and gracious manner. Though kept busy performing her duties as Vice Principal, Miss Price has guided us carefully through our Senior year. r r r i u rj f. rj r. r. r r U U rj U U U U U DOROTHEA ALLEN BIOLOGY CAPOl COCHPAN MATH.

In its evaluation report, also pointed out that we need an expanded curriculum in the commercial, science, and art departments They also stressed the desirability of having more practical and vocational courses. This, of course, would be possible only in the proposed new building. Blue print for the proposed high school are now in the hands of school authorities and perhaps someday they will be executed to secure a building which would meet the needs of the students. MUit Rate Highest The committee also said that more space Is needed for pupil activities. The results of the evaluation are expressed In percentiles to indicate the comparative ranking of our school with the other schools observed A rating of 75 means the school Is in the upper 25%. Our score can be summarized as follows: Curriculum 71, pupil activities 73. library 73, guidance 84, instruction 80. outcomes 78, staff 94. plant 42. and administration 81.

' r i—£L FOOTBALL Under the very able and experienced direction of Coach Kieffer Shriner, the 1948-49 team including many veteran players looked forward to a very successful season. The team was captained by Joe Mehalick and Leo Yartsura, and managed by Tom Crocetti. The season opened with a very hard fought game against a mighty Pompton Lakes eleven who finally came out on top and handed Boonton her first defeat to the tune of 21 to 13. Boonton was not quite up to par and the following week the Red and Black received another loss from Roxbury by the score of 19 to 14. The next game really showed the Bombers' hidden strength when they trounced Rockaway, 44 to 0. This night game proved to be the start of a five game winning streak. The next game was a sure 14 to 0 victory over Madison. Then Passaic Valley fell before the victorious march of the Bombers by the score of 19 to 7, and Mountain Lakes was halted, 13 to 0. The following week a thriller with Hawthorne was played,------- Boonton reigned victorious with the final score standing 26 to 13. The most heart-breaking game of the season took place when the Bombers traveled to Dover. There under the worst weather conditions imaginable, the Red and Black received their most pronounced defeat of the season by the score of 24 to 0. Thus the 1948 football season ended on Thanksgiving Day with the Shrinermen coming out on top, defeating Butler 13 to 0. This game left Boonton with the final standing of six wins, three losses and no ties. r r ' L L L I I L r, r. L I L I I I I I r BASKETBALL 7 ith h running lay-up, Howie Rosenfeld scores his 319th point of the season, and from quarter court Don DiBello sinks another one in. The hard-i ghtinR Smitty passes one to Kent Van Duyne who hooks it in for two more points. Meanwhile -Joe Mehalick and Leo Yansure are pleying terrific defense. This was t.he team-work that scored ten wins and six losses for the 1949 Basketball season. However, this wasn't all that was responsible for the team's success. The efficient coaching by Mr. Y illiem Potter and Mr. Charles Backus, and the fine support given by the second and third strings also contributed to this seasons very commendable record. r j j j j f i j r THEY • St Joseph's .....Ul •Paterson Tech .......32 • Alumni •••••••••••••• 38 • Butler •••••..... 37 •St Joseph's••••••••• h1 .Mountain Lakes••••••• 33 .Dover.............••• 31 .Passaic Valley........35 .Pompton Lakes....... 6U .Dover • ••••••....... .Paterson Tech ••••••• 35 .Butler................ .Pompton Lakes•••••••• 56 .Mountain Lakes••••••• H2 .Passaic Valley • •••• 51 .Butler (jamboree)• •• Hl QASGflALZ.

GIRLS’ SPORTS Who said basketball was for boys? Apparently they have not seen our girls' basketball teams in action on Monday afternoons in the John Hill Gym. These teams, composed of girls from each gym class, were coached by Miss Melosi. The climax of the season came when one of the teams challenged the women teachers in a rollicking game that ended in a 14-14 tie. Volleyball is another indoor sport gaining popularity with the girls at B.H.S. Girls from the various gym classes formed the two teams which were ably coached bv Miss Taylor.
