BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE TOWN OF BOONTON. NEW JERSEY OFFICE OF ■CCNITANV eu MAIN STREET To the Members of the Class of 1956: When you, the Class of 56, returned to Boonton High School in September to begin your Senior year, you were decidedly not the same class that, three years before, had entered as Freshmen. You had gained infinitely in wisdom and responsibility. You came together with the realization that this was to be your fullest and best year at Boonton High School, and you were all looking forward to it with great expectation. Suddenly your goal, Commencement, appears just within reach. Do not have any feeling of apprehension for Commencement, as the word itself signifies, is the beginning. You have spent years learning and preparing to take your place in the world and as you go forward remember— The mind is a ceative plotting tool to direct our actions and lives. Some people always giving a piece of their mind, never thinking things out. Others use their mind as a tool chest to store up tools needed for life: a chisel to carve out a place in the world, a vise to hold on to that which is good. May the years ahead of you be productive, successful and happy. President, Boonton Board of Education [6] £J gi Another school year has come to a close and with the closing, the members of the Class of 1956 have moved ahead to demonstrate their readiness to find their proper places in life. Our best wishes accompany you as you leave. in many respects, your class has probably been more fortunate than any graduating class that has preceded you. You have grown up in an era of prosperity. This is a period of plenty and of peace. Your educational opportunities have been of the best. You have been favored, yes, even coddled by your elders. Many of us wonder whether you will be able to take adversity when it comes. For come it will. The w'ays of life are not always strewn with roses. Our wish then to you, the Class of 1956, is that you will always be able to look Life squarely in the eye and be masters of your souls and your destinies, let come what may. You have completed what will probably be the best four years of your lives ... if you have used them as you should. We in our turn have tried to equip you for sound citizenship, to give you the foundation on which to build a life of service to others. We hope you have decided on worthwhile goals for the future, and that you will work hard to attain them. The Class of 1956 has shown considerable leadership. A number of you have exerted great effort to make ours a better school. For that we are grateful, and urge that you continue to exercise that leadership as you face the challenges ahead. Do not feel despondent because your high school career is ending. You will find many satisfactions ahead of you, particularly if you strive always for the best. You must not now be grieving For the life that you are leaving You are ready for the life that lies beyond. Live that life, whate'er befall you That, when God himself shall call you You will fearlessly be able to respond. fa. During your stay in Boonton High School, the Guidance Department always stood ready to help you in whatever capacity it was called upon to do. Now you are leaving us to follow a career in the world of work. Many of you have already chosen your life's work; others of you are still undecided; all of you are hoping and planning to be successful. In planning your career, look ahead to what you want to be ten years from now. Choose something you really want to do if you would get enjoyment from it, work hard at it, and life will reward you with much satisfaction. My very best wishes go to each one of you for a bright and successful future. Should you need our services further, feel free to call upon us. [7] DOROTHEA ALLEN Montclair, N. J.

While personal health checkups and counseling services are conducted on an individual basis, sanitary surroundings, library facilities, and cafeteria accommodations are provided for the students as a group. Invaluable services are rendered by the front office secretaries. In addition to maintaining accurate school records, they distribute notices concerning club meetings and operate a lost and found department for our convenience. The cafeteria ladies and the custodial staff also contribute their fair share, for, through their efforts, nutritious lunches and pleasant surroundings are provided. Always ready to lend a helping hand, the janitors are on the job keeping our school clean and neat. Mr. Doremus, Mr. Oshon-kea, and Mr. Glennon are familiar figures to all students. [12] Mrs. Irwin, Miss Wilcox, Miss Price, Mr. Herrmann, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Ryder are the guidance counselors who encourage each student in scholastic and personal matters. Dr. Wiggins and the clinic staff conduct a program of periodic health check-ups and physical examinations. Our secretaries, Miss Bonnani, Mrs. Johnson, and Miss Pappas, maintain an efficient Front Office for our convenience. time op need Professionally trained in their respective fields, the school nurse, doctor, librarian, and guidance counselors take a personal interest in student welfare, both as individuals and as a student body. Students are offered an opportunity to consult these specialists in matters pertaining to their health, scholarship, future plans, and personal problems. Always ready to treat our problems with sympathy and understanding, these various agencies have won the respect and admiration of the students at B.H.S. The ladies in the cafeteria prepare delicious and nutritious lunches for the B.H.S. students. [13] ootballprovided tbriifi and Boontoris heavy line throws Passaic Valley for another substantial loss. Rain marred the first four games of the Boonton High School Bomber's 1955 football season, as we defeated the Newton Cardinals by a score of 26 to 0. The hopes for the season were very optimistic, with our hard charging line and shifty backs; but our hopes were soon literally dragged through the mud as the boys put up two courageous but unrewarded struggles against Roxbury and Morris Hills. After these defeats, the Bombers sprang to life by down:ng both Madison and Passaic Valley and tying Wayne. However, following losses to Pompton Lakes and Dover, the Boonton Eleven concluded the season with a Thanksgiving Day defeat to Butler, 24 to 0. Boonton’s effective line was led by Norby Kalckira, who was an All County selection at tackle, Carl Allieri, named to the All Lakeland Conference Team, and K O. Kolodzieski, who, in his first football season, was voted Boonton's most valuable lineman. It can be safely said that the opposing linemen were none too confident when they faced Boonton. The Bombers were led by Quarterback Leigh Gorman, an excellent faker, passer, and decisive signal caller. Our high hopes for a good season were severely dampened when three of our backfield aces, Jack Steinhauser, Dick Longo, and Chuck Yukna, excitement . . . were side lined with leg injuries. Anthony Scorn-fava, known to all B.H S. as ''Scozzy, was always in there putting up a hard battle to the very utmost of his ability. He and the rest of he squad will long be remembered for a fine display of excellent spirit and good sportsmanship. Emerging from the final game of the '55 season and looking forward to the coming year, Boonton shows tremendous promise. With the coming of the next football season, Leigh Gorman will return and, with a year's experience at quarterback, should lead Boonton into a victorious season. Dick Longo will again be found at his halfback slot, equaling his own ground-gaining record of this year. However, Boonton may suffer from the loss of end, Carl Allieri as well as tackle, Dick Gifford. In this respect, Boonton's line may suffer more than its backfield, which is losing both Jack Steinhauser and Tony Scozzafava, who added tremendous boost to this year's team. Each year our team loses many valuable players through graduation. A tribute should be paid to these members of the squad who contributed to the success of the team and have, at the conclusion of this year, written finis to their careers at Boonton High School. Afler a fine pass from Leigh Gorman, Carl Allieri is stopped by Butler. Despite the weather, our cheerleaders never permitted our school spirit to falter. ers To An niial h°ot ers Put 'ootbalfl FeW rere 1 he butVtln,em'La 3 is wst £’snit £J oft V,eJ'si°n Gainst .

Bombers fighting out a hard bail game, the spectators at both home and away games witnessed many fine pre-game and half-time displays: — the B.H.S. Marching Band, directed by Mr. Harold Warford, always drew a solid round of applause; our attractive majorette and twirlcrs led the band and went through their routines with admirable poise and grace; and the cheerleaders, appropriately dressed in school colors, spread enthusiasm and school spirit as they kept the stands alive for a Boonton touchdown. Through the efforts of the Refreshment Stand Crew and the Scoreboard Squad, refreshments were made available during the game and the half-time, and an up-to-the-minute The Band provides us with fine half-time entertainment. record of the score was maintained. As if the excitement of the game itself was not enough, these bits of football atmosphere further added to the enjoyment of the spectators and, as if in appreciation for such wholesome entertainment of high caliber, loyal football fans appeared 3500 strong at the Thanksgiving Day game and thereby set an all-time record for attendance at B.H.S.

Jhe .5redhmen entered The Junior Business class listens attentively, as Mrs. Kowal dictates the quiz questions. The Gass of 1959 was created on September 7, 1955, when incoming students from Parsippany-T oy Hills, Lincoln Park, Montville Township, Bconton Township, and the John Hill School in Boonton assembled for the first time at B.H.S. This was Freshmen Orientation Day, designed to help the Freshmen become acquainted with their new environment in high school. With the assistance of the homeroom teachers and a selected committee of upperclassmen, the new su-roundings became more familiar, and the day ended on a pleasant note with refreshments for all in the gym. The selection of an appropriate course of study was an important decision to be made. Facilitated by conferences with the guidance counselor, each student was enrolled in one of the four course offerings:—Scientific for preparation in the field of engineering, College Preparatory for those intending to continue their education, Commercial for those preparing to enter the business world, and General for those with no definite plans for the future. To encourage social adjustments, the Freshman Get-Acquainted Dance was held, and the class adviser, Mr. Wagenhurst, helped the class to organize and to elect class officers. Many organ:zat:ons then opened their member, ship to Freshmen, and the Class of '59 became an active part of school life. To climax their class activities, the Freshmen sponsored the Freshman Show, which served as an outlet for the creative abilities of talented members and as a source of enjoyment for the entire student body. wide-eyed and carload 5reAi limen r 7.

Wore fatnili amuiar now, the ophs tooh their pic eir place Firmly established in their courses of study, the sophomores advanced to second year subjects — there were English and Speech for everyone, and a host of choices, including Biology, Geometry, Spanish, French, Homemaking, and Occupations, was available, depending on the course curriculum. As sophomores, the students began to plan their work more efficiently, to make good use of the library and the study halls, and to take advantage of the elective minors offered in art, chorus, glee club, and shop. Having witnessed the club activities from the sidelines as freshmen, the sophs showed more active participation in the club program. There were opportunities for all — intramural sports, language clubs, hobby clubs, and publications — and, for the athletic-minded boys, there was the chance to try out for varsity sports. The class organization, too, showed signs of growing maturity. Sponsored by Mr. Vitaletti, the class formed many committees and elected Sue Hussong, James Bullock, Barbara Churchwell, and Joe Di Eduardo to serve as class officers. The success of The Snowball Hop, presented in December, provided encouragement for future class projects, for the Class of ’58 shows great promise of leadership in the role of upperclassmen next year. Making a cake was only one of the many skills learned by the students in Mrs. Kane's cooking classes. Biology is the first science course which enables students to engage in individual experiments. Tom Norris and Henry De Fronzo are preparing bacteria cultures, while Doc”'Fields looks on. Speech classes practice the principles of parliamentary procedure in the classroom. Here, Terry Mikus and Nancy Dunlap record poles for a student chairman to preside over a class discussion. Commercial students learn the basic skills of stenography in Mrs. Nolan’s ninth period Steno” class. Seventh period study hall is a quiet place for students to 77,, jewing classes work to prepare costumes for the complete a homework assignment or to prepare for t e Christmas Festival of Song, as well as to create fashions next class. for themselves.

As juniors, their courses have become more advanced — Physics, Algebra II, Family Relations, Steno II, and Home Nursing, to name a few, that will pave the way for Chemistry, Trig, U. S. History, and Office Practice in the senior year. As upperclassmen, the junors have become aware of important incentives for a more serious attitude toward their curricular and extra-curricular activities. The honor roll, college board exams, college entrance, and recommendations for scholarships and for employment are seen in a new perspective—they are meaningful now, for they are matters demanding real and immediate consideration. The junior year has important out-of-class aspects, too. Juniors become eligible for Service Club, for the Guidance Office Staff, and for N H.S. elections. Among the social activities, this year’s junior play, Night Must Fall, was expertly produced, and the Junior Prom was rated among the finest. Led by Richard Longo, Jack Cox, Margaret Young, and Nan Jayne as class officers, and advised by Mrs. Backus, the Class of '57 has experienced a very profitable and a very successful junior year. Members of the Typing II class gain experience for their future in the business world. They made their way through the crowded halls to their next class. uppercfaAdmen Front Row (left to right)-. S.

There were many bright spots in the season’s play as Boonton terminated the season with an 11-8 record. Several of the early losses were hard fought battles, with the winning baskets being stored either in overtime or with last second tallies. At Morris Hills, a triple overtime ended with one lone point deciding the Knight's victory. The Bombers outscored their opposition with 1183 points, setting a new school record for points scored in a single season. Along with his brilliant passing, rebounding and dribbling, Leigh Gorman became the Boonton pacesetter, with 453 tallies, another new school record. Already a tremendous player, Leigh shows promise of becoming one of Boonton High's all-time greats. Richie Block did a fine job with his deadly shooting, passing and dangerous driving. Richie dropped in 274 points, the sixth highest total of any player for one season, to become the highest scoring guard in B.H.S. history. Also contributing many baskets to this record-breaking team, were Chris Starkey, Bill Tym, George Cosgrove, and Dick Longo. In Lakeland Conference play, Boonton tied with Dover for third place and a toss of a coin put the Pottermen into the Lakeland Conference Jamboree. To prove their ability, the boys easily downed Butler in the first elimination contest and lost by a mere two points to the Conference Champions, Wayne, thus climaxing an exciting season of play.

These combined efforts have been responsible for many entertaining presentations during the school year. Orchestral work has included participation in assemblies, concerts at various schools, and musical interludes at the Junior and Sen or Plays. The highlight of the instrumental season came in the spring, when the orchestra and band displayed their accomplishments at the annual Spring Concert, which featured many selections of classical and semi-classical music.

Schwenker as association officers and Miss Dorothy Cobb as faculty adviser. Enthusiastic participation in archery and badminton indicated the popularity of these sports, while volleyball, basketball, tennis and field hockey gained favor in their respective seasons. Determined by a point system, winners in each sport were presented with awards at the end of the year. In the boys' division, the tumbling team presented demonstrations of their skills and the basketball teams participated in several tournaments. As a special feature, the Ulce Club, organized by Mr. Berryman, provided many hours of musical relaxation for the group. Competition between the boys' and girls' programs was instituted in the scheduling of badminton tournaments for singles and doubles, and was climaxed by a series of matches for mixed singles. In consequence, the extended program provided the students with activity throughout the year. Mr. Berryman demonstrates the finer points of badminton to interested listeners.

The National Honor Society also holds a prominent position among the selective organizations. Juniors and seniors are eligible for election and are chosen on the basis of leadership, scholarship, service, and character. Each year, N H.S. awards a scholarship to one of its own deserving senior members and, to the student body at large, it offers a tutoring service to any student in need of individual help with his studies. Members of the Service Club meet at regular intervals to receive hall post assignments from Pre'i-dent Spencer Eddy. u$ Another organization restricted to juniors and seniors is the Service Club, which admits members on the basis of their dependability, scholarship, and school service.
