It seems only a few short months ago that the Class of 1923 jumped into its little canoe of learning and paddled out of the quiet, safe stream of grammar school days into the broader, deeper channel of a high school career! And what have these fleeting four years brought? What has been their success ? At the beginning of this uncertain voyage, many of the crew were lost; some fell overboard; others, doubting their courage in time of crisis, turned back to shore. The majority however, were real, red-blooded Americans, who resolved to and did stand the test. We now find them nearing their goal. In 1919, the inexperienced recruits were looked upon with disdain by the mightier members. They were jokingly nicknamed “Freshies —then quite appropriate—but that time soon passed. Under the leadership of their skipper, Lou's Kayhart, and the guidance of the other officers, the jolly band of voyagers successfully reached the first portage. The one great achievement of this first lap of the journey was the win- ning of the silver attendance cup from the Seniors. The year passed without any unusual occurrence—the “Freshies” were merely being “broken in”, as it were. This process proved very successful, however, for the next year they took up their paddles as a group of lively, industrious Sophomores. Much is to be said of this second quarter of the journey. The girls became the proud winners of the Girls’ Interclass Championship pennant for 1921, and the boys, although they did not come out on top, showed their determination to gain the coveted pennant in 1922—and they did! The important event in the career of Sophomores was the Sophomore Dance. This affair held great significance for them, for it laid the foundation for the “great trip” to be taken in their Senior year. For the remainder of the term, the proverb “Still Waters Run Deep” might have been applied to the Sophomores. They were saying lit- tle, but were saving their pep and dignity for a future date. If you don’t believe it, read their history as Seniors! The autumn of 1921 found the crew advanced another portage in their voyage. They were now Juniors!—how significant! That meant the “Prom” and the happy anticipation of a dignified career as Seniors. This year the class was allowed to sell chocolate. The profits from this, combined with those of a Junior Masquerade and a movie show constituted quite a satisfactory sum towards the Washington trip. The Juniors made a remarkable showing in athletics and debating this year. Doris Roy and Margaret Boone were members of the successful debating team of ’22, and five of the girls of the Varsity Basketball Team were Juniors. The biggest event of the year was the “Prom” on May 19 at the V. W. C. A. The dance hall was decorated in Blue and Gold, and the dining room in Maroon and Gray. After a long summer’s nap, the band of knowledge-seekers returned to B. H. S. once more—this time as Seniors. Social activities followed each other rapidly, the Senior Party, the dance, then the Christmas entertainment. In January, a movie, “Silas Marner”, was given, and on January 10, a crowd of Seniors took a delight- ful night sleigh-ride up to Newfoundland. The climax of success was reached this year. The entire debat'ng team was com- posed of Seniors; the interclass debate between Seniors and Sophomores was a Senior victory; and all the members of the Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team were Seniors. What a record dash for the goal post! May 3-5 found the Seniors enjoying the “great trip” to Washington. On June 1, was given the Senior Play entitled “Ann” at the Colonial Theatre. The play was a success, and served as a fitting finale to the many social activities of the year. June has come once more, and with it graduation and a sad farewell to dear old Butler High. May it live forever! 21 Ootch % t rj mmmmk 5htcH J x6a 'Of tic Force A6cut Fact 'About Fore Mom it i i5« ce J urroundings FocuJtu C rcuJ oo Senior Class Prophecy Although I had been strictly forbid- den and told, time and time again of the questionable reputation of the place, I cast aside all human precautions for a visit to the Chinese Underworld of New York. As a guide I secured an aged China- man, a withered, horrible looking thing with a face that betrayed his use of opium, and, from the way he acted, I was afraid that he had guessed that I was in trouble,—bad of course,—and was seeking rest and solitude in the blissful dreams of the opium pipe. My companion led me through dimly lighted streets, black alleys, —down— into the lowest depths of Little China. Never a word did he speak, nor a sound did his footsteps make, though occasion- ally he would stop and peer at ms strangely for a minute, then without a word, would continue in his journey. Af- ter about an hour’s walking, we entered a small Chinese temple. Leading me up to a large bronze statue of Buddah, he wheeled suddenly and fixed a gaze upon me that I have never forgotten. I tried to speak, to ask him why he stared at me,—but I couldn’t. I tried to move— I couldn’t. I felt myself sinking, sinking into oblivion. I was cold,—the light faded,—and still gazing at the death- like face of my companion, I knew no more. Awakening later, I found myself in a strange, well lighted room, hung with beautiful tapestries. The air seemed sweet and fragrant. A refreshing breeze cooled my spirits, and lying on a pile of silken pillows, 1 yielded to the greatest healer of all—sleep. While I slept, thoughts of my school days, long ago, filled my mind. I could see every one plainly, laughing and talking in exact- ly the way they did before we graduated and parted. This wonderful picture faded, only to give way to one of still more meaning. There they were, all the officers of the Senior Class, now mem- bers of the Borough legislature, with our old president, “Maxie”, as Mayor. Around him were his assistants: Margaret Tin- tie, Jennie Smith, Bessie Meade, and Gladys Ringle. I next saw “Bike” Close, who had sure gone wrong. He was ped- dling dope and drugs to the lower classes of New York. Poor “Bike”! The next picture was of Irma Flynn and the Wal- dron sisters. They were in the lunch- wagon business in several of the largest cities, including Oakland. Next came Martin Fleck, the world’s greatest tenor, together with Art Landmesser doing a “classy” vaudeville act at the Orpheum. Who was next? Why Doris Roy! There she was, high on the steeple of a church, painting a golden eagle. Ye gods—she was a steeple-jack. The next picture gave me quite a shock. Annie Mat- thews and Ruth Kimble were fashionable hair-dressers in Woolworth’s 5 and 10. Next came John Ricker and Reuben Toub, playing a very sad duet in the large auditorium at Kinnelon. This pic- ture faded, and revealed Mary Dugan and Florence Marion taking art and bal- let dancing from a well known profes- sor, Mr. William Meier. I saw Jim Lyons as one of the lecturers on the sight-see- ing busses at Washington and well ac- quainted with all of the gravestones throughout the city. Now he had some- thing to BRAG about. There was then revealed George Lawrence, in a nifty blue coat and leather leggings, speeding along on a motorcycle. Another State Trooper! Just ahead of him was Mar- garet Boone in a big blue automobile. Louis Kayhart and Nora McCormick were with her, and believe me, poor Mar- garet was scared to death and was doing her duty as quickly as she knew how. She was now a full-fledged minister, do- ing her bit in helping the Orphan asy- lums. The most famous of these was the big Fritz Asylum, run by two distin- guished society ladies, the Misses Lillian and Barbara Fritz. Miss Barbara is now running for president of the United States and it is a pretty safe bet that she will make the election. Then I saw Mme. Georgianna Marion picking out a suit for her husband, who had been blinded in a duel with the famous French bald-headed doctor, Mr. James R. Van- derhotf. James has surely changed, but we are glad that he has discovered a way to relieve bald-headed men. Little Emily Wood and Steve Gyurick next ap- peared in a stunning musical comedy in the Hippodrome, and were reported en- gaged. As to the truth of this statement we can’t say, as the Paris Daily News, edited by M. Abie Mendelewitz contained a lot of unheard of news that, in all prob- ability was made up by the editor him- self. The next picture was the most col- ored one that I had seen. There was Hazel Rea as an artist, hard at work on a picture of the great vaudeville come- dian, Mr. C. F. McCormick, known the world over as “Sap” the “Laugh-Maker”. Next was Helen Vreeland, the best known woman in Bloomingdale. Between her and Helen Woods, the World Wide Women’s Fire Company, was doing re- markable work in all large cities. They had passed an ordinance to try out the Bloomingdale fire engines ten days be- fore each fire. The next picture revealed another of my old pals, George Smith. He was dusting mummies in Westmin- ster Abbey. To my intense horror and surprise he was a total wreck,—his shoul- ders hung limp and he appeared to be falling to pieces. I never thought he would be a dope fiend—did you ? The next picture was beautiful indeed. There was a quaint old fashioned church hidden away in the hills of Wanaque, sought by many, young and old as a place to go to drive away troubles, because the pastor, who was so well-loved was none other than our old classmate The Right Rever- end Elizabeth Van Dyck. Her deacon and closest friend was—well some shock! Eleanor Padgett. Humph! She must have mixed up in some love affair to choose a vocation like that. The next picture was a terrible mixup, and it was several minutes before I could see what w� as the matter. Mildred Card and Stella Slikcr were fighting in the middle of the road. It seems that they were both mar- ried to the same Morman; Mildred said that it was her turn to go for him in the car that night and Stella said it was hers. The picture faded so I couldn’t see hrw they made out. The next pic- ture was of the Reno Divorce Court and 1 nearly dropped dead when Alice Druk- ker calmly walked up the aisle and took the Witness Stand. She tried to vamp every man in the Court room and was later dismissed by the great Reno Di- vorce Expert, Feed Dealer, and Judge of the great Reno Courts, Miss Isabel Smith, of Butler. With wonderful clear- ness the next picture glided in, bringing with it the most sublime of all music composers, Elsie Slingerland. On the other end of the picture was Gertrude Ricker milking a cow. She was a well known farmerette of Kinnelon and was supplying the entire world with her fam- ous “Sylvia-Rebeeca” butter. The next picture was charming indeed. There was Dorotha Coursen as a model for the great Polish artist who was decorating the dome of the capital at Washington. She looked beautiful as she mounted the steps leading to the highest chambers of the building. My mind could scarcely conceive what I next saw. There was Mae Bresett, rolling in wealth. She had made millions in the taxi business in Paterson and had settled down to a life of gaiety and pleasure. Next was Hat- tie Ricker and “Ed” selling Snake-Oil down at the Butler Mill gate every Fri- day night. I don’t know who invented the snake oil, but I bet Hattie charmed the snakes as she always charmed all of the boys of our class. Isabel Marion next appeared as the president of the largest chewing gum manufacturing plant in the world. It is said that sW personally uses one half of all the gum that is made. Then one of the nicest girls of the Senior Class, Gladys Ryer- son, as a baseball coach, was giving les- sons to “Butch”. On the tippy end of all the pictures in walked Roy Meade. He was all bruises, and had just re- turned from the “Office.” He surely had a “Crush” on that place anyway. 24 Junior Class (Read from left to right on the photograph, beginning with the top row.)

THE CLASS “KNOW IT ALL”—The encyclopedia is going out of use in H. H. S. It is so much easier to ask James Lyons. THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPS OF ’23—We were unable to complete the contest because the scales were broken by—well,—never mind by whom. However, as far as we got Louis Kayhart led by two dashes, with Hazel Rea and Bessie Meade following as close seconds. THE CLASS GIANTS—Someone says, “Why do you ever want a step ladder when Bill Meier and Sap McCormick are around?” THE BEST DANCERS—This was something really hard to decide since it makes all the difference in the world with whom you dance. Bike Close and Mary Dugan finally jazzed out of s:ght, with George Lawrence and Doris Roy close behind. THE CLASS BLUFFER—Since these-contests were for Seniors only, and the faculty was thereby excluded, there was a little competition. Margaret Boone bluffed it through for first place and James Lyons for second. THE CLASS LOAFER—Since this doesn’t apply to exam'nation time, about- -18 Seniors tie for first place. F’ind those who don’t “belong under other headings. THE CLASS AN'GFILS—Everybody voted for himself in this contest. We think we can safely say that Emily Wood has the longest wings while the Waldron Sisters have really praiseworthy sprouts. Although the Class of ’23 is blessed ( ?) with two ministers’ daughters, their names fail to appear here. THE BEST ATHLETES—Since all sports had to be considered from jack straws to African golf, these decisions took a great deal of thought. We wish we had friend Edmund Burke here to deliver a conciliation speech when we announce Cletus McCormick and Bessie Meade. THE “GOOD SPORTS” of the Class of ’23—There are actually 51 of these in the class. THE MOST POPULAR GIRLS IN THE CLASS OF ’23—This contest resulted in a May Pole dance with Jennie Smith holding the blue ribbon and Mary Dugan holding the red one. THE MOST POPULAR BOY IN THE CLASS OF ’23—Here the blue ribbon was used in a tug between Earldon Maxfield and Martin F’leck. THE PRETTIEST GIRLS—Not being diplomats we can only tell the truth and con- fer the honors on Mary Dugan first, and Jennie Smith second. THE HANDSOMEST BOYS—This was a grand slam,—James Lyons, and John Ricker. THE BUSIFiST—We encountered numerous difficulties here because these people n?ver had time to tell us how to spell their names,—Earldon Maxfield and Jennie Smith. THE CLASS GRINDS—We hereby confer the first honor on Ruth Kimble, and the second in Margaret Tinlb. THE CLASS HUMORISTS—The class of '23 is blessed with a number of these, so it was necessary for us to appo'nt an umpire first. Martin Fleck and Roy Meade, the famous wise crackers, each scared a home run, and Louis Kayhart managed to get safely on third. THE BEST STUDENTS—The boys seemed to be excluded from this event for various reasons best known to our worthy teachers and others who have seen their re- port cards. The best runners were Bessie Meade, Elizabeth Van Dyck, Isabel Smith, and Margaret Tintle, in the order named.

The Res! School Events FACULTY BASKET BALL The most amusing, if not the most scientific, games of basket ball this sea- son took place on the the afternoons of March 1st and 28th, when the faculty played the varsity. The faculty line up was: (center) Mr. Hoag, (forwards) Mr. Richardson, Mr. Samuels, (guards) Mr. Crooks, and Mr. Hoek. Only a limited number witnessed the first game, but a far greater number was attracted to the second game by the glowing accounts of the frantic, though clever, basket shots of the much excited Mr. Richardson and the scurrying and gesticulating of Mr. Samuels. As one can imagine, the scores of these games were too disgraceful to print, although the amusement they pro- vided cannot be overestimated. THE CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT The annual Christmas Entertainment given by the Senior class, was presented before a large audience in the Butler Opera House on the afternoon of Decem- ber 20, 1922. The coaches, cast, and officers of the class were fully repaid for their arduous preparation for the event by the enjoyment which the audience exhibited. The main feature was a clever one-act play entitled “The Red Lamp.” Other attractions included several musi- cal numbers by the high school orchestra and some musical individuals of the Senior class, and a Christmas reading. According to the regular custom each member of the faculty was presented with an amusing and appropriate gift by a Senior Santa Claus. At the conclu- sion of the program the floor was cleared and the high school orchestra played for dancing. INTERCLASS DEBATE The interclass debate took place be- tween the Sophomores and Seniors be- fore the assembled high school on the morning of December 20th. Mr. Eilen- berger presided, and Miss Ketchum, Miss Koch and Miss Melick acted as judges. The Senior team upheld the affirmative, and the Sophomore team the negative of the question. “Resolved that the stu- dents of the New Jersey High Schools should be required to take State examin- ations, similar to the New York State Regents, at the close of each course. The topic was one of general interest and both of the teams, as well as the students profited by the discussion. The decision of the judges was rendered in favor of the Seniors. THE WASHINGTON TRIP Many were the happy memories brought back from the Washington trip by former classes. But never was a class so elated as that of ’23, for they en- joyed the unusual distinction of meeting and shaking the hand of the President of the United States of America. The party, including Mr. and Mrs. Eilenberger, Miss Alice Stryker, Miss Schroeder, and several parents and friends, left for Washington on the morn- ing of the 3rd of May. The party ar- rived at Washington in the early part of the afternoon and was transported to the Hotel Metropolitan by busses. The first place visited was the Capitol build- ing through which guides conducted the party, explaining all points of interest and methods of procedure in both houses of Congress. The Supreme Court of the United States was in session and several members were extremely lucky in gaining entrance. Later the pilgrims gathered on the front steps of the build- ing where they were met by sight-seeing busses and were taken around the city for their vivid first impression. Guides were present to point out all places of interest. A stop was made at the new Lincoln Memorial and reflecting pool. After dinner the splendors of the Con- gressional Library were enjoyed until closing time necessitated a return to the hotel. Everyone left the hotel Friday morn- 34 ing with a determination to see all that was to bo seen, and there was a great deal scheduled. The Pan-American Building with its strange plants and birds and its spacious and ornamental rooms; the Corcoran Art Gallery with its beautiful works of art; and the pri- vate rooms of the White House, were vis- ited in the morning. Immediately after luncheon the party returned to the White House, and. after a short wait was ad- mitted to the executive office where each shook hands with the President. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in a trip by boat up the Potomac to beautiful Mt. Vernon, where the new and old tombs of Washington and his home were visited. The return was made via electric line. Saturday morning the party rode in busses to the Zoological Park, George- town, Fort Mycr, and Arlington. At Arlington the new white marble amphi- theatre, the grave of the unknown sol- dier, and Lee’s mansion were of most interest. On the return a stop was made at the Washington monument, in which a few enterprising ones climbed the 998 steps to the top. After an interesting afternoon spent in the Old and New Museums and the Smithsonian Institute, the party gath- ered at the Metropolitan tired but hap- py, to prepare for the return trip. AMATEUR NIGHT On the evening of the 27th of April a new and very successful event took place in the Y. W. C. A. at Pompton Lakes under the auspices of the Senior class. It was entitled “Amateur Night.” Each of the four classes was allowed one half hour for its seven members to present the program which had been prepared. Five impartial judges were appointed to decide which class presented the best pro- gram. The Seniors captured first prize, a silver loving cup, by a vote of four to one, while the Juniors won second prize, an appropriate pennant, by a vote of three to two. Dancing followed and re- freshments were served. The commen- dations of those who attended fully re- paid the actors and the various commit- tees for their arduous duties of prepara- tion. JUNIOR PROM The best of ail Proms given by Juniors for Soniors was held in honor of 1923 by 1924 on the evening of Friday, May 18th. From the platform screened with a wdderness of flowers and greens came music, lively or dreamy, played by Dean’s Orchestra of Ridgewood. The guests danced in a hall beautifully decorated in the Junior colors, blue and silver. The lounge was made attractive by the bril- liancy of rainbow colors. During the in- termission, refreshments were served, and pleasing favors were given to the Senior guests-of-honor. INTERCLASS BASEBALL Because of the lack of material and equipment for varsity baseball, and the desire to play the national sport, class teams were organized under management of a member of each class. Four games were played by each team, on the old diamond near the station. Rivalry be- tween the classes was great, and many an exciting incident helped to enliven the games. At the end the standing of the teams was: Juniors won 4 out of 4, Sophomores 3 out of 4, Seniors 1 out of 4, Freshmen lost 4. PHYSICAL TRAINING Butler High is becoming experienced in dealing with difficult situations. Be- cause of the lack of a gymnasium and the building operations now in process, a new system of Physical Training was or- ganized during the winter months to comply with the School law which re- quires 2% hours of it during the week. During each period of the day the Phys- ical Training teacher visited each of the High School rooms and devoted a few minutes to various exercises. Altho this was an interruption of the class work, its beneficial effects were noticeable. The splendid spirit of the school as a whole in meeting this emergency is most com- mendable. 35 The Butler Schools An Historical Sketch Although prior to 1888, Butler had attained to some importance as a manufactur- ing village, it had no public school of any kind. Some of the children attended the Bloomingdale school, others went to the Catholic school, while a few took refuge in the district school at Meadtown. After the voters of Pequannock Township had failed to provida better school facilities for Butler a new dis- trict was set off by the County Superintendent, and at a meet- ing of the voters on May 18, 1888, $5000 was voted to build and equip a new school. Following this decision a sent- iment grew up, fostered by Richard Butler, president of the American Hard Rubber Com- pany, for something better than a frame building, and at a meeting of the trustees, held rn August 22, 1888, the arch'tecl was instructed to draw up plans for a frame building not to ex- ceed $3800 in cost, and a second set for a stone structure. A week later the trustees met at First Butler School—1888 the residence of Mr. Wm. Kiel to make their final decision. The architect presented a detailed account of the prob- able expense and future economy of a stone structure, which was carefully discussed. Mr. Butler became so interested that he declared, “We must have a stone school- house, if I have to go among my friends to raise the money.” This remark decided the question, and the minutes of the meeting quaintly record “that the business of the even- ing now being settled, a toast to the new school was drunk.” The contract for excavating the cellar was given to Walter Carrigan for $30, and ground was broken for the new school on September 6. The season be- ing so far advanced, no other work was possible until the fol- lowing spring. On April 22, 1889 bids were received for the mason and car- penter work, the former being High School—1922 awarded to John Sisco, for $3,394 and the latter to A. R. Kimble for $2,500. On July 25, a contract was signed for slating, galvanizing, and iron work for $505, making 30 the total cost of the orig'nal three-room building $6,429. The $5000 originally ap- propriated not being sufficient to mc;t this cost a special meeting of the voters was called for November 19, 1889, at which time $1000 additional was appropriated. The money for building the tower and installing the clock, which together cost $970, was after some difficulty raised by subscription, the largest amount being subscribed by Mr. F. S. Kinney who donated $200. The m'nutes record “that the clerk be awarded $12 for tak'ng the school census, provided he donated it to the clock fund.” Mr. Joseph H. Ware was the first principal of the new school, and Miss Nellie Roome, now Mrs. Lamseha, assisted him. They first occupied the new building on December 9, 1889. It is interest'ng to note that their salaries were $65 and $50 per month respectively, wh'ch would compare very favorably with the salaries today for similar work, if wo were to cons'der the purchasing power of the dollar. Mr. Ware’s successors up to the year 1900 were Messrs. Lundy, Johnson, Stickles, Wiseman, and Birkland. In that year Mr. C. J. Howell, now pres'dent of the Board of Education, became Principal. In 1805 the enrollment of the school had increased to such a degree that it was necessary to add seven rooms to the original structure. Two years prior to this, a High School had been organized and the first graduation took place in 1907, the class being com- posed of Mary Haycock, now Mrs. W. J. Sweeney, Florence Richards, now Mrs. L. L. Han- by, and Miss Stella DeBow. The next year there was only one graduate, Fred Norman. In 1912 Mr. Howell severed his connections with the school to accept a position with the Pequanoc Rubber Company, but Addition 1923 leaving firmly established a High School with an enrollment of 114 pupils and a graduating class of 15. Mr. Howell's successors have been Mr. W. W. Marts, 1912-14; Mr. J. E. Crane, 1914-18; Mr. E. V. Walton, 1918-20, and Mr. R. J. Eilenberger, 1920 to the present time. Since the High School has been established the growth has been steady, dropping back slightly only after the War, when 197 were enrolled in 1918-19. The following year 227 were enrolled, the next year 251, and last year 319, an increase of 60% in three years. This steady growth clearly showed that additional school facilities were necessary, and plans for an addition to the High School w'ere prepared. An ap- propriation of $138,000 was voted last July, and work began on the new building the first of November. The addition will form a complete unit with the present High School building and, besides additional class rooms, consists of a spacious auditorium, seating up- ward of 1000 people, under which is a gymnasium of ample size, together with dressing rooms, shower baths, and spectators’ gallery. During the present year 370 pupils have been enrolled and, with the prospects of a substantial increase next year, the Butler High School w'ill rank as one of the largest rural High Schools in the State. 37 Where to Find 1922 STUDYING Marian Sehulster at Montclair Normal Grant anSaun .................................. at Lafayette College Angelina Meade .......................................... at Drake’s Alma VondenDeale ................................ at Trenton Normal BEGINNING Paul Ward—as Movie Director ...................................

During this term the Orchestra has listed among its personnel three new mem- bers, including Bentley Smith, Roger Vreeland, and Frank Schulz. The Orchestra, in its entirety, now consists of a pianist, four violinists, a cornetist, and a saxophonist. In addition to playing at the morning assembly, the Orchestra has received much praise for the interest it has taken in various parties and class functions given by the Seniors and by other classes. Bentley Smith, Cornetist Lester Bossard, Violinist Frank Schulz, Violinist Geraldine Smith, Violinist Isabel Smith, Pianist Roger Vreeland, Saxaphonist LeRoy Van Orden, Violinist Mrs. R. J. Eilenberger, Leader 40 Debating The tryouts for the Butler varsity debating team of ’23 were the cause of great interest throughout the high school. Doris Roy and Margaret Boone, two of last year’s debaters, with Roy Meade and Margaret Tintle were finally chosen to uphold the good name of Butler High in the debate with Sussex on the resolution: “That the merchant marine of the United States should be subsidized by the Federal govern- ment.” Margaret Boone won the place of captain, and Margaret Tintle, alternate. At last all was ready. The high school had pract’sed and perfected its cheers and songs, while the members of the team were practising and perfecting their argu- ments under the coaching of Mr. Crooks and Miss Melick. Despite the disagreeable- ness of the weather of March 27, many private cars and three bus loads left Butler for Sussex, where the debate took place. One bus failed to arrive until almost nine o’clock, but nevertheless the debate was begun shortly after eight. There, before a large audience, the Butler team debated on the negative of the question with both skill and eloquence. The high school cheered well, despite the un- favorable scattered condition of the rooters. However, at the close of the debate the judges cast their votes for the affirmative. Evidently, such marvelous fortune as that of last year could not hold out longer, but much credit can be given to our team for the hard-fought battle, well organ’zed material, and their spirit of fair and friend- ly contest. 41 Ann A Comedy in Three Acts Presented by THE SENIOR CLASS Colonial Theatre June 1, 1923 CAST OF CHARACTERS 1 he Very Rev.

When candidates were called for basketball, very few responded and those few were new recruits. From this small amount of raw material, Coach Richardson de- veloped a fine smooth-working comb'nation. As no suitable place could be found in Butler, the team journeyed to Pompton Lakes about twice a week for practice. All the home games were also played at the Pompton Lakes Y. M. C. A. As only two of the team belong to the graduating class, Butler should have an ex- cellent nucleus for its team next year. Robert Wheeler, F. Maurice Toub, F. James Pratt, F. Willard Fales, G. .inc-up Edward Scinski, G. Abie Mendelowitz, G. Cletus McCormick, C. James Wickstead, C. Arthur Jordan Coach—H. L. Richardson Subs. Lawrence Smith Manager—Martin Fleck 44 Girls’ Basketball The team was forced to journey to Pompton Lakes at least twice a week this year, since it was impossible to procure the old Opera House for basketball practice and games. However, the day after a notice of try-outs for the team had been taken thru the rooms, twenty girls were seen reporting to Miss Schroeder, our faithful coach and friend. From this squad the following girls were chosen to make up the Varsity: Mary Dugan, F., Jennis Smith, F., Isabel Marion, G., Bessie Meade, G., Margaret Tintle, C., Doris Roy, S.C. Substitutes: Esther Smith, F., Gertrude Ricker, G.—Captain, Mary Dugan. Manager, Jennie Smith. Butler was successful in scoring a total number of 211 points as compared with the 205 points of their opponents. The only two great defeats that the Butler Girls suffered were received from the hands of Rutherford and Dover, and the greatest vic- tory, which gloriously and most appropriately wound up the basketball season, was over Hamburg. The Varsity Team of ’23 wishes great success to the necessarily new team of next year, since they will be the first to use the new school gymnasium. 45 Football M. Fleck, L. E. G. Smith, L. T. R.

The football season was extremely short, since, owing to various misfortunes the majority of the games were cancelled. Few turned out for the team, but the squad formed mostly from raw material and very light, was full of grit. The coach and the squad deserve recognition for their spirit. The games with Hasbrouck and Garfield resulted in victories for Butler, scores 6-0; but East Rutherford won with a score of 27-0. 46 .WISE OTHERWISE (mostly otherwise) Excited Freshman: “What bell is that?” Wise Soph.: “The one right up there on the wall.” Teacher, (to drowsy student): “Are you tired?” Student: “Well, I’m listening to you.” Teacher: “That’s the fourth time you have looked at Sap’s paper.
