Page Eight THE NUGGET Faculty’s Opinion of the Seniors A splendid lot of boys and girls, with whom it has been a pleasure to work, my one regret being that just as I am learning to know them, I must part with them. —R. J. Eilcnberger. There is so much bad in the best of us, und so much good in the worst of us, that it hardly becomes any of us to talk about the rest of us. ” So we’ll leave out that comment which might not look well in history and content ourselves with saying that the present Senior class has much to be commended in looks, brawn, and brain. May the Class of 1921 Win honor, love, and fame, And may they come to know the day They revere a teacher’s name. —Charles L. Uniacke. Better by far that you should forget and smile, Than that you should remember and be sad, There are none like you—none. —Gertrude P. Decker. To old Butler High, scores of students have come, Witty ones, peppy ones, clever and dumb. Look them all over, You cannot discover, An equal to Class Nineteen Twenty-One. —Leonora M. Schroeder. Seemingly in earnest, performing duties well, yet loving fun. A cheerful class with a stock of good nature. —Julia Santangelo. Frivolous, fun-loving and carefree, To the casual observer you seem; Yet to one of true intuition, Your virtues will most faults redeem. —Virginia E. Rootes. Seniors! So they say. Dignified! Hardly. Ready for a joke! Always. Want to whisper! No, (just) talk. Studious! When they forget themselves. Good sports! Yes, indeed. Like them! Just can’t help it. Why! Get acquainted and you’ll understand. —Beatrice L. Page] The Seniors!!!! Well, they MIGHT amount to something if they live long enough. Let us hope they don’t die young. —Edgar K. Dawson. Like any other lively team, (As someone used to say) They need a quiet, steady hand To guide them on their way; But, given this, with work to share, For which they see the need, So gratefully, unitedly, and friendly they speed To do the miles ahead of them With cheer and courage bright, That heartily we wish them well, WJien we reach home at night. —Luella R. Lyon. ANALYSIS OF TEE SENIOR CLASS (Tested and proved in a two-year experi- ment in the laboratory of the B. H. S. life.)

MISS PAGE MISS LYON Witnesses Page Seventeen 7S-, THE NUGGET r The History of the Class of 1921 Once more the wheel of time has made its round. Time, what a peculiar thing! How extremely short it is! It seems but a year or two ago that the Class of ’21 entered Butler High School. The first year, of course, was the begin- ning of everything. A class had to be organ- ized and offiers elected. Rules had to be learned and customs obeyed. The various ways and wishes of the teachers had to be respected. Nothing of real imi ortanee hap- pend in this year except that the class showed unusual promise both in study and athletic spirit. The following year started the remarkable career. The young l oys and girls were not satisfied with just the ordinary school life. They were most original, as was shown by the Sophomore Dance. Never before had a lower class attempted a social function of that sort. They showed, also, their good spirit by partaking in all of the athletic games. Even with a new princiiml and some new teachers, every thing moved along in perfect harmony. And then came the busy, eventful and successful Junior year. Again new ideas originated. Cake sales, dances, and even a Masquerade were held. In the cold month of February a bunch of these jolly Juniors went “dashing through the snow” in a little old sleigh. Next plans were made for a Sf. Valentine's dance, and lu st of all, for the Junior Prom. And what a Prom it was, too! With the generous aid of Miss Lyon it proved to be the very best ever given by a class of Butler High. At the close of this happy and eventful year, such a feeling had been aroused among these young people that they did not wish to separate, even for the short vacation months. Consequently the “Summer Club” was fonmnl. Every two weeks a meeting was held and many social events were given � by this club. Finally September returned and once more j these young men and women came back to j school determined to make their last year ; more successful than the preceding ones. I The idea of going to Washington had been talked over and finally decided on. This nat- i urally, meant more work. A dance was given at Pompton Lakes, which proved so successful that the interest ! of the class was easily kept up and the chocolate sales at school continued briskly. | Then at Christmas time, tin i eople of Butler | had the good fortune of lieing able to buy pretty hand-made gifts, as well as home made ! cake and candy at the Senior Bazaar, and ! the class treasury was Increased by one bun- | dred dollars. I Other activities; such as. a moving pic- J ture show benefit and a «ike sale completed ! the amount to b° raised for the Washington | trip, ami May fifth, sixth ami seventh found | the Seniors at the capital. In addition to their financial success, they have shown ability in other fields. Dorothv j Snover ami Levora Kodda won approbation J on the debating team, ami several meml ers • of the class are working very diligently on 1 the class plav in which they will doubtless i distinguish themselves. • . Looking back at their past record the ! Seniors have every right to be proud of ! Their class, and it is with great reluctance | that they shall separate when their diplomas • are handed to them in June. S Little spots of knowledge Little puffs of wit Make the simple Freshmen Think the Seniors it. Page Eighteen T H B N I G G E T VIEWS TAKEN l!Y SENIORS ON WASHINGTON TRIP Chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Eilenberger and Miss Rootes, the Senior class spent three days at the Capital. Excluding the Capitol itself, the Congressional Library was the most impressive building visited, but other interesting ones were the Old and New Mu- seums, Pan-American Union, and Bureau of Printing and Engraving. A delightful trip up the Potomac to Mt. Vernon was enjoyed, as well as a ride through the National Cem- etery to Arlington.

Page Twenty-one somiomork class THE NUGGET The Psalm of 4ie Sophomores (with apologies to Longfellow) Tell me not, O fellow student. You don’t know the Sophomore Class! They are pioud and they are zealous. Watch for them, you’ll see them pass. Sophs are real! Sophs are earnest! A diploma is there goal: They are striving with a firmness. Battling over every shoal. Debates, athletics, and class dances Make their school days roll along; They are not inclined toward shirking But are diggers, true and strong. They work hard, for Time is fleeting And their hearts, though full of fun, Are for work and study beating Till their daily tasks are done. When the days at school are ended And the Sophomores enter life They shall be prepared to battle Shall be heroes in the strife. They wait not for success as Juniors, Busy Freshman failures in the past: Each one is concerned with solving This years problems to the last: A Sophomore, now perhaps a Freshman Sailing thru school’s solemn main, A forlorn and weary worker Seeing, shall take heart again. Sophomore, then, be up and doing. Aiming for the very best; Still achieving, still persuing. Set examples for the rest. WESTERN UNION The World June 25.

Page Twenty three THE NUGGET Page Twenty-four THE NUGGET TKe Class of Twenty-four Visits T reasure Island 44 Hello! shouted William Bchulster excitedly. “How did you get here?” ‘ Hello! ’ answered Maurice Toub, approach- ing him. ‘ 1 came in my big hydroplane. 1 have a surprise for you. Come around to the other side of this big cliff and I’ll show you.” They walked around and to William s sur- prise, there was a big, bright hydroplane with some of his classmates from Butler High. •‘Yea! Treasure Island,” they shouted, for they had come to this famous place. After a joyful meeting, they began to tell their stories since they had met last. “Well, chirped in little Maurice (otherwise known was Macy), I’ll tell my story now, so it will be finished. I made quite a success as a banker in J. P. Morgan’s Bank. I bought myself a mansion on Broadway and also this hydroplane. I met Janies Wickstead at the Astoria Hotel and soon we decided to go to Treasure Islam! for our vacation. I brought five more schoolmates with me.” “And the most surprising of all,” stated Dora Waterside sweetly, “is the fact that all of the class is on this island. Most of us have succeeded in life and have built bungalows here. “Let’s have a celebration on that big cliff,” said Fred Hickman, pointing to a high cliff. ‘ A sort of class reunion. Each one must be ready to introduce someone else ami tell about him at school.” That evening a cool, sweet breeze blew over the cliff. The soft rustling of the young ladies silk dresses and the refreshing appearance of the young men in dress suits seemed a dream. Sweet strains of music were heard from all corners of the cliff. The orchestra played “The Blue and the Gold.” Maurice Toub stepped onto the platform and said, “Will Fred Rickman please come for- ward?” “Aye! Aye! ” replied Fred, doing as he was asked. “This is our brave son of King Richard,” said Maurice. “He can tell you anything yon would like to know about England. With this he left the platform. Each, in turn, was called up to be discussed by one of his classmates. The owls overheard such re- marks as: ‘ Grace Post was always buying candy. My! she must have been sweet. ” “Lillian Tintle was our little violet. fc he always looked delicate. ” “One day Merton Van Luvender forgot his shoes and left them in his desk. Fred Tern by found them and to Mr. Uuiacke’s dismay, nailed them to the black board. 1 ‘ Gertrude White liked cake, because she could always eat half a box that Niseda Rome brought for her lunch. ‘ ‘ Audrey Osborne was our fairy dancer. 8he was our leading lady when we had imitation ‘shows’ in the cloak-room at noon time. “Every time Mr. Uniacke left the room, James Pratt would throw a spit-ball at Law- rence Smith. This, of course, would start the ball rolling. “Curtis Slingerlaml (poor boy) was always sick so we don't know much about him. 4 Harriet Shippec was a doctor’s daughter. We always asked her if we were sick when we felt bad. “Miriam Van Ness pockets were pasted shut with sticky candy that she had no time to eat. “Julia Lyon and Alvinia DePuy were our ‘cubbies’ which must be in the class to keep it rolling. “It seems that Thomas Treweeke was a magnet. {Somehow Ella loat seemed to be drawn toward him. “We must remember the day Dorotry Trow- bridge first wore glasses for reading. She looked ‘swell but still we nearly burst. “Dot Weaver was our laughing vamp. Ske d send the manufacturer of Djer Kiss’ insane if he learned how much powder she used.” “Hester Vreeland should have been our class secretary because she was the best penman in the class.” “Just a moment,” said Margaret Williams, “Maurice Toub and Margaret Gormley deserve more credit. They were the two who received all the A’s in their studies.” With a shout each one selected his partner ami the banquet was served. Later that evening as they were preparing to depart, a chorus was heard: ‘ ‘ Fifteen men on a dead man s chest Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum, Page Twenty-five THE NUGGET Drink and the devil had done for the rest, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.” Up the aide of the cliff came the ten high achool teachters, singing this verse, and dressed as pirates. “We have come to spend the summer months in our cottages on this island,99 said one. “We heard you were here.” “We expect to stay also,” came the reply. “Yea! Treasure Island,” shouted all, and de- parted. WESTERN UNION The World, June 25. Dear Freshmen: Yours not to reason why, Yours not to make reply, Yours but to do or die, Forward! —Seniors.

High School Boy, (hanging his head) : Really, you can’t imagine how sorry I am. What can I do to revive him? Wisdom: You must solemnly promise to attempt to speak the King’s English cor- rectly.

Page Twenty six THE NUGGET The Brotherhood of Sciences Story banal on a scientific experiment, which was recently described in the Literary Digest. Chief of Police Snyder was in despair. His ablest detectives had followed his instructions; they hud traced the mysterious theft of several valuable jewels to their hiding place, and had recovered with them a priceless diamond. Where it had come from they did not know. That it had been found hidden in the same room with the other stolen gems, led him to believe that the priceless jewel, which he now held in his open palm, had not been obtained honestly. But who could have hidden it there in that little attic-room over the jeweler’s store? Evi- dently, one of the jeweler’s three helpers, for no one else had access to that room. One of these three had been strongly suspected since on several occasions he had been in that room, altho apparently on perfectly reasonable er- rands. For over three hours now, Chief of Police Snyder had l een examining, question- ing, threatening and even pleading, with this suspect, Roland Day, but never a startled look nor a nervous move could he detect in that perfect mask of a face. In despair, he picked up a magazine, and idly turned the pages to regain his own usual steadiness of nerve. Suddenly, he became alert; he straightened up in his chair, and read care- fully the article he had been glancing at— “Measuring the Emotions. ” The last paragraph attracted his especial attention. It ran:—“One of the strangest features is that the extent of the subject’s emotions is recorded whether he be conscious of any emotion or whether he show any external sign of it or not. Indeed”, it concluded, “pent-up emotion effectively concealed and con- trolled is indicated in a more pronounced man- ner than if relieved by weeping, and this ap- plies equally to other controlled emotons. ” Soon Snyder had made his plan complete and was speeding away to the office of this I)r. Waller, whose apparatus for detecting the emo- tions was described in the article that he had read. Assured by Dr. Waller himself that his plan would probably l� e successful, he sent for his men to bring Roland Day, who had been ar- rested on suspicion, to the laboratory of Dr. Waller. In his calm reserved wfay, Day allowed him- self to be trussed up in the apparatus and made no comment when the nature of the ex- periment was explained, for he was simply told that the little bead of light would measure his emotions. Accordingly the experiment was begun. Day was found to be no coward, as Snyder already realized . However, the latter knew that the dis- covery of the valuable diamond was not sus- pected by Day, who had been questioned only with reference to the other jewels. The Chief was chewing his cigar furiously as Dr. Waller continued his experiment, chat- ting, as he worked, in a most natural way, but, meantime, studying his patient who main- tained his calm appearance. Then, without warning, the Doctor picked up the diamond. “This is the biggest job you have tackled, isn’t it?” Day scarcely moved, but the little spot of light, which recorded the slightest emotion, shot up, and he realized that science had laid bare his secret. He hesitated slightly, threw a swift look toward the chief, and then, with colorless face, and, in a voice strangely un- like his own, said huskily: ‘41 gu� � ss you 've got me—I ’ll own up.9 9 Dorothy R.

Page Twenty-seven THE NUGGET Mystery Surrounds Murder Body of Scottish General found near Palace Grounds—Motive SCENE, May 2- Late last evening, the bleed- ing and mangled body of Banquo was found near the hidden path that leads to the royal palace. Accompanied by his son, he entered the grounds early in the evening and at the eastern gate they turned their horses over to a groom, who seemed to have been the only person to witness the dastardly deed. The groom claims that shortly after leaving his master, he heard the latter call for a light, which was at once supplied. Almost im- mediately cries rang out and he distinguished Banquo’s voice urging Fleance to escape The groom ran to the nobleman’s assistance, but received a blow that rendered him uncon- scious. When he recovered, he dragged himself to the palace to report the murder. r Crime Unknown King Macbeth is grief-stricken, as he hovers around Banquo’s body lying in state at the palace. A close relationship existed between the two noblemen as they had been associate generals in the service of King Duncan; and the King has stated that lie will leave no stone unturned in Lis efforts to discover the identity of the murderers. The hiding-place of Fleance is unknown, and despite Banquo fs command to his son, as stated by the groom, the authorities are inclined to connect his flight with the murder. The entire sea coast is patroled by the police force, and it is thought that the murderers will shortly be brought to justice. —PAUL 8. RICHARD8.

In our ntudy room, we sit, Up and down the aisles vte flit, An easy mark for snubs and scorn, We’re often made to feel forlorn; But tho confronted by things strange, We hope in time, school life will change. Through Sophmorc Eyes. Ours would be a happy lot, For our joys would never stop If we were not suppressed, And the teachers weren’t distressed Just because we have a little fun. As the Juniors See it. Blamed for all deeds of mischief, Sure to be scolded each day. School life for the Juniors Has difficulties strewn in the way. No matter how plausible our pretext, It’s a crime to be found in the hall, And as for innocently entering the cloakroom, The faculty won’t believe it at all. According to Senior Perspective. School life is well worth living; For tho some days are dark and drear, We’ve found that the joys were plentiful As we’ve passed into each new year. And now as our paths are dividing What a wonderful pleasure ’twill be To look back and feel we’ve passed thru Our four years so successfully.

The isolated room adjourning the Park Hotel building, was artistically decorated in green and red floral designs. Small round tables were placed about the center of the room, upon which hot chocolate and cake was served by students in Japanese costumes. Against the walls were draped booths from which candy, cake and handmade articles were sold. A special table was provided for the sale of quaint foreign articles which at- tracted a great deal of curiosity from the unusual number of people who were present. During the evening the high school orches- tra rendered a number of popular selections. As a result of the bazaar, over a hundred dollars found its way into the Senior treasury and the class felt greatly encouraged to con- tinue social activities. THE SPANISH AND FRENCH PLAYS On the last Friday in April two short plays were given on the high school lawn by the Spanish and French departments. The most attractive was of course, the cos- tumes. Those in the French play represented the time of Louis, the fourteenth, while in the Spanish play, the dress of the present Page Twenty-nine T HE NU6GET day was represented. As a whole the two plays were very interesting in bringing out the costumes, action, and speech of the French and Spanish. VISIT THE SCHOOL-WEEK The school week in February, beginning with the 14th and ending with the 18th, was set aside as “Visit-the-School-Week and our parents and friends were Invited to visit us at that time. No special program was arranged as tin� faculty preferred our I arents to see us at our regular classes. A special invitation was extended for Thurs- day, however, as Dr. J. Howard Hulsart. County Superintendent, was to be present, and had agreed to address the patrons. Thus, as we expected, we had only a few casual visitors until on Thursday, when more than a hundred assembled to visit the school and hear Dr. Hulsart’s excellent talk. Ice cream and cake were sold in the Domestic Science kitchen and the work of this department, as well as that of the Manual Training, was on exhibition in the basement. A fire drill, held early in the afternoon, was also an inter- esting feature to many visitors. THE MIMOH FROM The “Junior Prom ’ which was held on the evening of May 21. 1920, in the Y. W. C. A. at Pompton Lakes, was the most talked of social activity ever given in But- ler High. The “Y” was predominantly decorated in the Junior class colors, orange and black, but. there was also some recogni- tion of the Senior class colors, red and white. Excellent music was provided by the Brown Brothers, a colored orchestra from New York, and although the night was inclement, there was a large number present. During the intermission, the musicians entertained by telling jokes and “jigging . The refresh- ments were served by a committee of Fresh- men girls and the artistic favors, which were designed by Miss Lyon, attracted much atten- tion, as each was distinctively unique. OIK FOOTBALL SEASON The football season of 1929-21 will go down in the annuals of Butler High School as a most unfortunate one. With every pros- pect for a successful year, the team as well as the school, was plunged into the deepest gloom by the fatal injury to Lester Bres- lauer, in the Fast Rutherford game. Out of fj respect to our hard working loyal “ � us,“ the ; remaining games on our schedule were can- ! celled. The boys who were on the squad 2 at the time were as follows: David Uingle, j James Pratt. Harold Scinski. Roland Ricker, Hervey Ricker, Lewis Knglert. James Lyon, Harry Cook. William Kiel. Lawrence Pro- J vost and Arthur Landmoesor. THE NEW YEAR'S DINNER As a reward for winning the Liberty Five game, the team was tendered a turkey at � Mr. Scinski’s home in Rivcrdale on New � Year’s Day. Before the dinner was served, J we had music furn island by some of the boys | who brought their instruments with them. When dinner was announced, there was a 2 football scrimmage in the dining-room and when the meal was over, it looked as if a cyclone had struck the table. After having • a little more music, or noise, we went to !' Paterson to a theatre, which entertainment 2 every one enjoyed, especially Mr. Eilenber- j ger. Those who attended the dinner were: ■ Mr. Bustard, Mr. Kilenberger, Mr. Scinski, Harold Scinski. Hervey Ricker, Willard J Kales. David and Jacob Ringle and Edmund | Aldous. i • THE INTEKILASS BASKETBALL GAMES i This year, great enthusiasm was shown by 2 the boys over the interclass basketball games. J Each class had what they declared to la “a ; championship team.” The contests were 2 staged on an elimination basis. In the open- J ing game, the Freshman boys were defeated | by the more experienced Junior team, but, j nevertheless, showed a tine spirit of sport- manship. The Sophomores and Seniors fought J an exiciting battle, but experience� and size j told, as the latter won by a close margin. • The Seniors then played the Juniors for the 2 championship of the school. The game was 2 interesting throughout, as the Juniors turned | defeat into victory during the second half « and thus won the school championship. When Miss Schroeder called for volunteers |! for the girls’ class teams, a splendid spirit | was shown by those who were selected to 2 • try out. and after two months of practice. J the teams seemed to be rather evenly |j matched. The preliminary games for the h Page Thirty THE N U GGET interclass championship were as follows: Freshmen versus Sophomores; Juniors ver- sus Seniors. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen with an overwhelming score, but the Seniors were obliged to do strenuous playing to win a victory from the Juniors, who were ahead at the end of the first half. The final game between the Seniors ami Sophomores was, therefore, a very exciting event, with much vigorous rooting for both teams. The final score was lfi-18 in favor of the Sophomores, and the interclass pen- nant for the season of 20 21 was, consequent- ly, presented to them. THANKSGIVING DONATIONS A few days before Thanksgiving, posters were placed on the bulletin boards. These posters requested every student in the school to donate articles such as: fruits, vegetables, or canned goods. These donations were sent to the Paterson General Hospital for use among the patients. As the reports indicate, goods amounting to an estimated value of 9192.03 were received. This donation sur- passes that given last year, and the Butler school hopes to aid this worthy cause even more in the future. THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The organization of the high school orches- tra was one of the progressive features of our year’s work. Butler High has always needed an orchestra, but, up to the present time, it seemed that the honor of playing for the school was not sufficient inducement to the students. Through the efforts of our new principal, however, a pianist, three violinists and a cornet player volunteered early in the year, and under Mrs. Eilenlierg- er’s enthusiastic supervision, developed into an organization we are very proud of. The first public appearance of the orchestra was at the Senior Bazaar at Christmas. Since then it has added to the success of several entertainments given by the commercial de- partment as well as rendering excellent ser- vice at the inter-scholastic debate between Butler and Sussex. COMMERCIAL CLASS ENTERTAIN MENTS On December 18, a Christmas entertain- ment was given at the Opera House by the members of the commercial department. The cheerless auditorium was converted into a very attractive room, with a prettily decor- ated Christmas tree as the chief object of interest. The program which was varied, and informal, proved amusing to the large audience of students and visitors. Especial approbation was bestowed on the clever lit- tle costume dances which were arranged for by Miss Schroeder of the Physical Training department. At the conclusion of the pro- gram. Santa made his appearance, and much laughter greeted the comments as he distrib- uted mock gifts from his pack, giving each member of the faculty a present designed to cure his distinguishing whim or foible. I ater in the afternoon, tlie Sonora Four furnished music for those who remained to dance. .. Recognizing the pleasure derived from the former entertainment tin Commercial Club prepared for a similar social activity on March 17. This time a more pretentious program was presented, the most note-worthy feature of which was a one act playlet and a debate. Home-made candy was sold by a group of girls wearing dainty caps and aprons. Again dancing was provided, and both visitors and students remained to con- clude the celebration of St. Patrick day. ATTENDANCE RECORD The attendance record of the Butler school for the past year is one of which we are proud. Last year our school stood thirteenth in the state and first in the county, with an attendance of 92.8, yet this year we have surpassed this high record by maintaining up to the end of May a iiercentage of 93.2. It is interesting to compare this record with that of previous years. The school year end- ing June, 1918, showed a jiercentage of at- tendance of 87.5. The following year the attendance increased to 91.8 as compared with 92.8 last year, and 93.2 this year. The number of pupils who have been neither ab- sent nor tardy shows another interesting comparison. For the school year ending 1918, twenty-one pupils were neither absent nor tardy. This increased in 1919 to sixty- six. last year to ninety-two. and this year up to the time of going to press, one hundred and nineteen have maintained a perfect record of attendance and punctuality. The Senior class lias done its part in maintaining this splendid record. During the past year its percentage of attendance has been 97.85. the highest of any class in the high school. Page Thirty-one THE NUGGET DEBATING TEAM Levora Rodda, Louise Faux, Georgian� Miller, Dorothy Snover. Annual Interscholastic Debate The Butler High School again took part in the regular interscholastic debating con- test, meeting as their opponents the Sussex High School in Butler on March 18. The But- ler team defended the negative side of the question: Resolved, That the principle of the open shop should be maintained in American industries. The judges selected were Addison Rosecrans, Esquire, of Pater- son, Rev. J. P. Strohauer, pastor of the Presbyterian rhurch, Franklin, and Mr. II. V. Houyoux of the Franklin Vocational School. By a vote of two to one the judges decided that the Sussex High School had the better of the argument with our team. The Butler student body turned out almost en masse to support its team, tilling nearly the entire one side of the auditorium. The newly organized high school orchestra played several selections until eight o’clock when the students, nearly two hundred strong, marched in to the tune of a rousing march- ing song. From then until eight-thirty, songs and cheers followed each other in close suc- cession and kept the big audience entertained and interested. Considering the distance. Sussex brought a g� H d delegation and ably upheld her end in the singing and cheering, making up in enthusiasm what she lacked in numbers. Principal R. J. Eilenberger pre- sided, nd the whole program was carried out with dignity, courtesy and good spirit that reflected credit on both high schools that participated in this interesting event. Many favorable comments were heard con- cerning the splendid spirit shown by the stu- dents and team, especially from the judges who rendered the decision. One judge said: “I wish to say that it was the most success- fully conducted debate that it has ever been my good fortune to witness and revealed the amount of work and study which made it a success on both sides.” Another of the judges wrote: “Both teams did so well that it was not easy to pick the winner. Your school and team made a splendid impression from the time they entered until the end. There was not A dull moment during the evening. You can be well assured that they si ke the truth when they sang. ‘There are no fleas on us’.” Page Thirty two THE NUGGET High School Dictionary Absolutely—Mr. Kilenljerger’s favorite word.

Page Thirty-three THE NUGGET AwoMtastft Better Speeck Week Better Speech Week, which has been na- tionally set aside as the second week in November, was observed this year by Butler High School. Miss Kootes, the head of the English department, introduced the idea at Assembly, explaining the movement and out- lining her plans for its observance. The pupils responded enthusiastically ami cor- rect English promptly became their chief aim. Two reporters from each class were secret- ly appointed to record all errors made dur- ing the week, and on Friday, these lists were read in their respective English classes. In addition to this, each student was asked to contribute something original representing a phase of i oor English. As a result of this assignment, several stories and playlets were written and a large number of clever posters and cartoons were collected and exhibited in the corridor. At the close of the week two simple play- lets were given before the school. One, en- titled “Who needs Good English,” consisted of short speeches made by students repre- senting various professional workers; such as, a lawyer, nurse, mechanic and steno- grapher. The second was a dialogue, “The Resolution of the Medburys”, in which a hus- band and wife make a vain effort to break themselves of the constant habit of using slang. Page Thirty-four Page Thirty-five One hundred sixty-two non-resident pu pi Is were registered in the high school during the year. Three of the four large buses used to transport those from a distance are shown in the above picture.

Page Thirty-six THE NUGGET Page Thirty-seven THE NUGGET Basketball When the final whistle blew in the game be- tween the Lightening Five of Pompton Plains ami Butler High School, not only a thrilling game ended favorably for the “Blue and Gold”, but the most successful season in the history of the school was brought to a close. At the beginning of the year, the “doubters” were heard to say, ‘11 wonder how the 1920-21 team ever expects to match the record of the 1919-1920 team.” Now, when we look back on the season just ended, we realize that not only the school, but the town has never had a team the equal of the B. H. 8. players of to-day. With a hard schedule ahead of them in the early part of the season, the boys lost little time in annexing games. When school opened after the Christmas vacation, the team already had four scalps dangling from its belt. A start like this meant that nothing but success would do, and at the end of the sea- son, out of the 20 games played, 13 were won, 6 lost, and 1 disputed. Although many of the games played were “hair raisers” and deserve special mention in I92O-I92I the opinion of the writer, there was one that stood above thorn all. The “game of games” was the one played against the Lightening Five whose line up contained the two star per- formers of this year's state champions, Passaic High School. With but three minutes to go and the score 42 to 36 against them, the boys cut loose with a miraculaus sport that tied the score just as the time keepers announced the end of the second half. This meant that a five minute extra period had to be played to decide the contest. The lightening quintent jumped in the lead, and with fifteen seconds to go, were leading by the narrow margin of two points. However the gloom on the faces of Butler rooters was quickly changed to joy as a field basket and foul were dropped into the net just in time. In appreciation of their work, the following boys and Mr. Bustard, their coach, were pre- sented with gold basketball medals by the Ath letic Association: Hervey Ricker, Edmund A1 dous, David Ringle, Roland Ricker, James Pratt, Harold Scinski, Donald Whetham. Page Thirty-eight THE NIGHET Basketball Sport Scribblings The old adage, “Come in like a lamb, go out like a lion’’ may practically be applied tj the Girls’ Basketball Team of this season, which began with a bril iant success of 25 to 8 over Ramsey, and ended wth a defeat of 10 to 49 in favor of Nutley. The strongest opponents encountered were Dover and Nutley, who de- feat d us at both the home and return games. The season was, on the whole, a successful one. Out of the eighteen games played, four teen were victories. The entire number of points was 439 ,while the opponents number reached only 283. In actual figures, this shows the excellent ability of the forwards to shoot baskets, the guards to hold their opponents, and the centers to do good, lively passing. Among the best and “closest’ games were those played with Paterson High, Rose.le High, and the Montclair Normal School. The latter was a particularly hard-fought contest, as the score was 13 to 14 until two minutes before the finish, when Alma made one of her prettiest baskets and raised the score to 15-14 in our favor. We were disappointed in not being able to play the Alumni, but we did succeed in playing and in defeating the Auxiliary of the American Legion, a few members of which were B. II. S. Alumni. The faculty was de- feated unmercifully, and in consideration, the score will remain unpublished. At the close of the season, Mr. Eilenberger, representing the Athletic Council, presented tiny gold basketballs to the coach, Miss Leonora Schroeder, and to the following girls: Mae Roach, Edna Miler, Lillian Buchanan, Dor- othy Reilly, Belle Bishop, Sadie Ricker, Bess McCormack, Alma Vonden Dale. Page Thirty-nine THE NUGGET Baseball After a long successful season of basketball, the Athletic Association called a meeting and David Ringle was elected manager of the base ball team, and Mr. Bustard, who was our coach in basketball, offered his aid. A notice was sent around to all classes for a trv-out for the team, and a number of players, both old and new, thronged to the old diamond. Much good material was indicated during the course of the afternoon, ami our coach was highly pleased with this initial try-out. Later, the members of the first and second teams played for practice a five inning game which resulted in a very creditable score. Since the season has hardly begun when the yearbook goes to press, our complete record can- not be included. On April 29, the business men of Butler ar- ranged a game with us, and, since we had but recently organized, defeated us easily. We ex- pect, however, to put up a good fight in the re- turn game. The only high school team that we have met so far is Hamburg, who traveled down quite confident of an easy victory. As the weather was very unsettled, many of our rooters were absent, but nevertheless we held our own until the end of the fifth inning when a drizzling rain ended the game with a tied score of 7—7. Since the contest was so unsatisfactory, another game was played the next Friday with a de- cisive score of 6—0 in favor of Butler. In addition to this game, our manager has a number of others scheduled, ami all prospects indicate a very successful season. The line-up this year is as follows: L. Brown—Pitcher. W. Francisce—Pitcher. J. Pratt—Catcher. D. Ringle—Catcher. II. Scinski—First Base. H. Ricker—Second Rase. R. Hendricks—Third Base. D. Whetham,—Shortstop. G. Smith—Right Field. H. Cook—Center Field. H. Padgett—Left Field. Coaches—Mr. Bustard and Mr. Scinski. Page Forty THE NUGGET Members of tke Senior Class covuf o JOs nAf. (jsu.
