Yet each class dif- fers from every other in class person- ality—that indefinable quality that makes each group distinct. But events, not personalities, entirely make history. Briefly to recount those usual events of our first year together—the election of the first class officers, when the greenness of 1921 was still very evi- dent, the distinction of having a mem- ber of our class on the Butler High School Debating Team and two mem- bers in the High School Orchestra, the usual number of academic casualties before June 1924. The Sophomore year was character- ized by our increased appreciation of our own importance and was made mem- orable by the Sophomore Dance which we gave at Pompton Lakes. Of course we were supposed by that time to have become at least slightly serious. How- ever, that is too far in the past for us to remember. In the Junior year we blossomed out socially, being a bit more united since our numbers had been appreciably de- creased. At Amateur Night in April 1923, a new type of school amusement, we carried off the second prize, a pen- nant; the first prize, a silver cup being awarded to 1923. In athletic circles we were also winning all the interclass baseball games which were played and boasted several members of the basket- ball team. But the Prom was the crowning event of the whole year! Shall we ever forget the anticipatory thrills and actual pleasure of May 18, 1923? The Community House in Pomp- ton Lakes was the scene of the festivi- ties. Both girls and boys of 1924 covered themselves with dust and glory in an endeavor to transform that home- ly room into a fitting setting for the guests, and they succeeded! Our colors, blue and silver, combine charmingly with greens, and a lavish use of these produced an artistic effect in decora- tion that was in itself a reward for ex- pended effort. And now the Senior year! We have done so many things as a class that we will never want to forget—our trip to Newburgh on Columbus Day to visit the famed headquarters of Washington, our hike to Federal Hill for a hot-dog roast, the Halloween party in October, 1923 where we were the guests of the Juniors at an unusually hilarious and successful Barn Dance, the production of “The Templeton Teapot” to enter- tain the High School at Christmas time, the Senior Dance in the Gym on Janu- ary 10, which was so very successful, the Valentine party which the Class of 1924 gave the Juniors where we played games and danced, the “movie” pre- sented at the Lyric under our patron- age to lay the foundation (plus the dance proceeds) for our Washington fund. The biggest success of our Senior year was the production on April 25, of “Peg O’ My Heart” with an all-star cast. From the play we realized $400 which, added to the amount already in our treasury, swelled the fund almost enough to cover the cost of our trip. Now even our long-anticipated trip to Washington is over. It beggars de- scription—but we’ll never forget it! Just one more event in our history as a class—commencement—and after that the class of 1924 will exist com- pletely only in our hearts and in this history. Our four years together have ment a great deal to us in work and in friendships. Here’s to B. H. S. that brought us together! 3UTLER HIGH SCHOOL PARTY AT MT.

The opening: number was a selection by the orchestra under the direction of Mrs. R. J. Eilenberger. Later one of the grammar school pupils gave a charming little dance called “The Dance of the Xmas Fairy” and two Senior girls sang a duet with ukelele and piano accompaniment. Carol singing by the entire school made everyone feel the spirit of the season. The pro- gram concluded with an amusing one- act comedy called “The Templeton Tea- pot.” Eight Seniors displayed their dramatic ability and won hearty ap- plause. Then Santa Claus arrived, with a large pack on his back, and presented to each Senior and every faculty mem- ber an amusing gift which had to be shown to the waiting audience. An- other selection by the orchestra and school was over until 1924. PIANO FUND ENTERTAINMENT Before an audience of about twelve hundred that filled the spacious High School Auditorium to its limit, and overflowed into the main corridor, the pupils of the Butler School presented on the evening of February 21 a de- lightful program that held the interest of the enthusiastic audience from the first number until the last. The beautiful new stage curtain and draperies not only caused comments of admiration, but had so improved the accoustics of the room that the smallest children could be heard in the farthest corner of the auditorium. The Entertainment was the culmina- tion of a project to raise money to pur- chase a Grand piano for the Auditorium and was most enthusiastically supported by the community and surrounding neighborhood. Through the sale of Events t'ckets, donations, advertisements, and the profits from the sale of refresh- ments more than $1250 was taken in, the net profit being nearly $1150. The program was under the general supervision of Mrs. R. J. Eilenberger, assisted by Miss Jean Inglis at the piano. Miss Leonora Schroeder, Physi- cal Training Director, drilled the chil- dren in the folk dances. The enormous crowd was efficiently handled by Mr. A. D. Crooks and his Hi-Y group and a few other boys. Miss Helen Prindle was responsible for the decorations in the corridors and gymnasium, while the refreshments were prepared and served by Miss Ethel Derby of the Domestic Science Department, assisted by Mr. Earl J. Hoag, Manual Training teacher. Supervising Principal R. J. Eilen- berger expressed himself as delighted at the splendid spirit of the community and surrounding neighborhood, and the co-operation shown by the teachers and pupils. He declared it to be the most successful project he had ever put across in his entire experience as a principal, while the citizens of Butler pronounced it the most successful thing of its kind ever given in the town. ON TO WASHINGTON This year’s trip will long be remem- bered for its complications as well as for its pleasures. Rain the first day really spoiled no one’s pleasure. Our unpropitious exit from Butler on the morning of May 8 through rain and fog was made in busses which took the whole party, including Mr. and Mrs. Eilenberger, Miss Koch, Mr. Crooks, and many parents and friends, to New- ark. The trip from there to Washing- ton was fun from beginning to end. S:ght-seeing automobiles met us on our arrival about 1:30 p. m. and took us to the Metropolitan Hotel. Soon after our arrival we visited the Capitol, where both Houses of Congress were in session, the guides explaining many in- teresting things. Next came a tour around the city in cars, a part of the 34 time being: spent in a visit to the im- pressive Lincoln Memorial. After din- ner the evening: was spent partly at the Congressional Library (several um- brellas spent the night there) and later the Senate was re-visited. Thursday night was wonderfully restful (sarcas- tically speaking). The next morning our first goal was the Washington Monument. Most of us walked from the hotel to the foot of it and some of us to the top of it. A wonderful view can be had over the city, the people below appearing as specks on a far-away plain. The Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the beautiful Pan-American Union, the Cor- coran Art Gallery, and the White House received our attentions during the morning, also. The afternoon was consumed in a trip up the Potomac to see Mount Vernon and Washington’s tomb. We had a delightful time wandering about the grounds and through the buildings. The return to Washington was made by trolley, a sad experience for many in spite of the beautiful scenery. If one were accustomed to horseback riding the trolley ride was probably pleasant. It reminded one painfully that it was near dinner time. Saturday morning sight-seeing cars took us to visit the Zoological Park, Georgetown, Fort Meyer, Arlington and then back to the hotel. At the Zoo many of our classmates found fascina- tion in the monkey-cages. All got away safely in spite of the squirrels. At Arlington, we were greatly impressed by the Ampitheatre and the resting place of the Unknown Soldier. The afternoon was spent in visiting the old and new National Museums and the Smithsonian Institute. Many enjoyed this part of the trip more than anything else. About 4:30 p. m. we all gathered at the hotel and 5:30 p. m. found us bidding farewell to our Na- tion’s wonderful Capital. The return was eventful and prolonged but we will long look back on the events of these three days—May 8 to 10—as the most wonderful of our High School experi- ences. JUNIOR PROM Disguised by green lattice work, sprays of apple blossoms and dogwood, and overhead, a multitude of brilliant streamers, the gymnasium welcomed its first Junior Prom on March six- teenth. The number of guests had been limited by making invitations non-transferable and the pleasure of not having an overcrowded floor proved the wisdom of this action. The music of the Terrace Club Orchestra was ap- plauded by all and made the evening truly delightful. As the last encore was concluded many were heard to comment that this Prom had been the “best ever.” The committee which had insured its success consisted of Dorothy Horton, chairman, Eva Donald, Roger Vreeland, and ex-officio Arthur Jordan. DEDICATION The biggest single event in the school year, if not in the school history of Butler, took place on the evening of May 29 when the new auditorium and addition to the High School was dedi- cated with elaborate ceremonies. These exercises formally brought to a realiza- tion the dream of several years—a spacious auditorium and a well equip- ped gymnasium. The exercises opened with an over- ture by the High School Orchestra, which was followed by a prayer by Rev. F. W. Sloat. The building was presented by Mr. C. J. Howell, Presi- dent of the Board of Education, and accepted by Mr. John A. Farrell, Mayor of Butler. The principal ad- dress of the evening was delivered by Dr. L. L. Jackson, Assistant Commis- sioner of Education. Short addresses were also made by Mr. J. Howard Hul- sart, County Superintendent, and Mr. R. J. Eilenberger, Supervising Princi- pal. Mr. Eilenberger, representing the school, formally presented the new au- ditorium piano, while Lester Bossard, President of the Senior Class, pre- sented a speaker’s lectern. The. Jr. O. U. A. M. presented a rostum flag and the Washington Camp P. O. S. of A. a handsome school flag. 35 Orchestra The High School orchestra has this year, more than ever before assumed a place of importance in the life of the school. With our new gymnasium and auditorium we have had constant opportunities to use the orchestra which, under the leadership of Mrs. Eilenberger, has very greatly improved in technique and tone quality. Its membership is larger than ever and the players are successful in their rendering of both classical and popular music. MEMBERS Jean Inglis - - Piano Charles Vreeland Trumpet Frank Schulz - - Violin Paul Adler Saxophone Charles Dilzer - - Violin Roger Vreeland Saxophone Geraldine Smith - - Violin James Worden Banjo The players are frequently assisted by Clinton Cornelius with his drums and Harold Howard, with the violin. 36 Hi-T Club In October four boys from B. H. S. met with representatives of other Morris County schools and were inspired by Mr. Amos C. Morrison and other Y. M. C. A. men to form a branch of that organization in Butler High. Each of the four then interested another fellow and this nucleus of eight with the assistance of Mr. John Ledlie of the Paterson Y. M. organized the Butler Hi-Y Club. Rev. Mr. Sloat, Mr. Eilenberger, and Mr. Crooks constituted themselves the requisite adult committee and the last named accepted the active leadership of the Club. After the adoption of a constitution Fred Rickman was elected president, Raymond Risden vice-presi- dent, Arthur Jordan secretary, and Emmett Bayles treasurer. Eight additional members have since been accepted into membership bringing the total up to sixteen. Four delegates attended the State Older Boys’ Conference held in Rahway during November when Morris County made a good showing. In April eight of the members were able to be present at the County Older Boys’ Conference in Boonton. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to develop its members physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially, and to work for the improvement and growth of Butler High School along each of these lines. The platform calls for clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. Meetings are held regularly on Wednes- day noon except that in the first week of each month there is instead an evening meeting on Tuesday. The latter emphasize the physical and social aspects w’hile the noon meetings are limited to Bible study and devotion, speeches and discussions, and business transactions. 37 Class Debating Teams Debating Again Butler has a championship debating team. Captained by Adelaide Rogers, consisting in addition of Dorothy Horton, Irwin Weiss, and Marguerite Gormley, coached by Mr. Crooks, assisted by Miss Wild, the team successfully invaded Closter and repulsed an attack at home by East Rutherford. In each case Butler upheld the affirmative of, “Resolved that the United States should im- mediately grant Independence to the Philippines”, and in each contest won by a two to one decision. Not only was the varsity team successful in its efforts but a regular series of three interclass debates was held for the first time. The question for these con- tests was “Resolved, that the United States should continue the restriction of im- migration on the present annual quota basis.” The Sophmores consisting of Grace Brown, Gladys Hanford, Frank Schulz and Eva Kitchel on the affirmative drew first blood by vanquishing the Freshmen team: Edward Schandlen, George Ryan, John Foertner, and Joseph Marziano. The Juniors represented by Raymond Strass- burger, Adelaide Rogers, Samuel Otto, and Arthur Jordon upheld the negative and defeated the Senior team composed of Marguerite Gormley, Lester Bossard, Edith Sheffield, and Helen Waldron. Then to better show their ability the Juniors argued on the affirmative against the Sophmores, winning a unanimous decision and the championship banner. Great interest in debating was aroused by these interclass contests and more good speakers tried for the school team than ever before. To further promote de- bating in the future. Beta Delta Sigma was organized in May with Samuel Otto as president, Frank Schulz vice-president, and Adella Gormley secretary and treasurer. 39 ’Peg O’ My Heart Presented by THE CLASS OF 1924 BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM April 25, 1924 Cast of Characters: Mrs. C hichester......................................

Although the boys started with a victory over Paterson Normal, the next few games were discouraging defeats, notably at the hands of Paterson and Clifton. A victory over Hasbrouck Heights renewed their spirit and enlisted the support of the student body. From then on a steady improvement was evident, resulting in victories over the Alumni, Paterson Normal, Hasbrouck Heights, the First Baptist Church of Paterson, Caldwell, and the Omega Club of Paterson; a record of nine games out of sixteen played and 487 points as against 572 for their opponents. The fine work of Captain Toub and Koehnline at Forward, Wheeler at Center, McCormick and Pettinger at Guard was responsible for most of the victories. The fight and spirit of Weiss kept up the morale when things looked black. Individual honors are difficult to award in a team so well balanced. The following, in addition to those mentioned, received letters: Arthur Jordon, Sam Weinstein, Daniel Mead, Harry Cook, Edward Scinski, William Sehulster, George Johnson, Manager. 42 Baseball Last year Butler High School did not enter the baseball field but this year, after a successful basketball season, has equipped a team in first class uniforms and material. Under the coaching of Mr. Selsor and Mr. Hoek and a great amount of prac- tice, the boys are forming a strong combination and no doubt will have many victories to their credit at the end of the season. With a combination of Cook behind the bat, Koehnlein and Van Riper on the firing line, Foster at first, We!ss at second, Toub at short, Jordan third, and Wheeler, Worden and Edwards in the field, it is hard for any team to outplay them. Eutler opened its season by defeating Eoonton High by a score of 16 to 11. The second and third games with Roxbury and Essex County Vocational School, re- spectively, Butler was defeated by narrow margins, the game with Roxbury going to twelve innings. In the fourth game, Sussex High bowed to the Butler boys, by a score of 4 to 3. Manager McKenn of the Butler boys has scheduled as our future opponents such schools as Ridgewood,Garfield, Hamburg, Newton.and a return game with Sussex. 43 17? Football The football season was not successful from the standpoint of victories, due mainly to inexperience fhe squad was composed of only four veterans from the previous year. The others were very light and inexperienced but made up for it in grit and fight. Every game was a defeat but not for the spirit of the team. Each time more interest was created and the season closed with a squad more than twice as large as at the beginning. Games were played with Garfield, Roxbury, Newton and Hasbrouck Heights. LINE-UP H.

Simonds 44 1 Girls’ Basketball Although the team was practically new and the girls can boast of having made only 188 points as compared with 211 of last year and having only two victories to their credit, the season can hardly be termed unsuccessful. The games at the beginning of the season might have been discouraging to some, but to the Girls’ Team of Butler High School they were incentives to greater effort. With the spirit of victors, the season continued and although the scores did not balance on the Butler side very frequently, they were close and the games were good. This has been the first year that the High School has been fortunate enough to have three games with a strong Alumni Team. The first was in favor of the High School, the second in favor of the Alumni, and the decisive third in favor of the High School. The following took active part in the games and received the High School letters: Frances Decker, F., Dorothy Horton, F., Katherine Vonden Deale, F., Mabel Day, C.. Esther Smith. S. C., Dorothy Day, G., Elva Buchanan. G., Emily Romaine, G.., Mari Wickstead. Sub., Martha Myers, Sub., Dorothy Day, Capt., Dorothy Horton, Mgr. Unfortunately wre are loosing a few of our players again this year, but there is a sufficient number remaining to make a strong foundation for next year s team. 45 ■ «WISE AND D OTHERWISE (mostly otherwise) All Over Tragedy in three acts. I. Lion and two lion-hunters. II. Lion and one lion-hunter. III. Lion A Frequent Victory Teacher—“When did Ceaser defeat the greatest number?” Coles (in a stage whisper)—“At the last test.” How True! A writer tells us that a dog fills an empty space in a man’s life. “Yes, and this is especially true of a ‘hot dog’.” Mr. Eilenberger (pointing out the aged colored guard at Washington's tomb) — “That old colored fellow was Washing- ton’s body-servant.” George Johnson (biting like a bass) —“Is that so! Why, how old is he?” Abe Breslauer (drinking ice water at Metropolitan Hotel)—“Say this ice isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.” Bub Wheeler (to Abe Breslauer) — “Where did you get the big nose?” Abe—“Yeh! Where did you get the Roman nose?” Bub—“Roman?” Abe—“Yeh! Roams all over your face.” ------ The Other Side New Teacher (coming into Butler on the Susquehanna) to the conductor— “I don’t see any town.” Conductor—“You’re looking out on the wrong side of the car, Miss.” An Understanding Soph—“Why does the stork stand on one leg?” Fresh—“Huh? I d’ know.” Soph—“Because if he lifted the other one he'd fall down.” Some Record Art—“Say, Roge, that’s a fast look- ing car you’ve got. What’s the most you ever got out of it?” Roger—“Five times in a mile.” Choice Selection A Freshman English class was asked to give examples of proper nouns. One frosh gave the following—“God and Miss Wild.” Somebody’s Finish WANTED—Three-tube set by a man with a mahogany finish. Cut-outs Prohibited Lucile—“Your new overcoat is rather loud.” Charlie—“It's all right when I put on a muffler.” Frances—“Does skating require any particular application?” Frank—“No! Arnica or horse lini- ment—one’s as good as the other.” Clear as Mud Miss Coffin—“Russell, what are the two genders?” Russell—“Masculine and feminine. The masculines are divided into tem- perate and intemperate and the fem- inines into frigid and torrid.” 46 ■ Modernized History Teacher—“George, what did Sir Wal- ter Raleigh say to the Queen when he threw his cloak in the muddy road for her to walk upon?” George (after a moment’s thought) —“Step, on it, Kid.” Hopeful Miss Stryker—“This theme is hope- less, Paul. Haven’t you any brains at all?” Paul—“Brains!Why ’er, Miss Stryker, I’ve got brains I’ve never used.” M ixed Numbers Harry—“Say, Joe, what kind of a word is pants?” Joe—“Well, pants is an uncommon noun because pants is singular at the top and plural at the bottom.” By Absorption Miss Koch—“How much time did you spend on your Biology last night, Wil- liam?” William—“All night.” Miss Koch—“Really! How is that?” William—“I put the book under the mattress.” Translated Into French Miss Langworthy—“Harold, what is the meaning of the word Avoirdupois?” Harold—“I don’t know what it means in English but in French it means ‘Have some peas’.” Why Not? Miss Wild—“ ‘I have went’. Is that sentence correct, Clark?” Clark—“No.” Miss Wild—“Why not?” Clark—“Because you ain’t went yet.” Bad Companions Son—“I don’t want to go to that dm—n school any more.” Alarmed Mother—“Why, where did you learn such awful language?” Son—“Willie Shakespeare uses that word.” Mother—“Well, quit runnin’ around with him.” Take Your Choice The Sophomores were decorating the Gym. Bob—“I can’t find a single pin. Where did they all go, anyway?” Frank—“Hard to tell. They’re point- ed in one direction and headed in the other.” Biologically Speaking Miss Koch—“With what part of his body does the bee buzz?” George—“His buzzum.” Modest Nature From a Freshman theme: “The tress will soon begin to take their spring clothes out of their trunks and cover their bare limbs with them.” 'Poor Man! On a Freshman English test the class was asked to concoct an imaginative ending to the following: “A man pur- chased a bed quilt at an auction and used it for many years. Finally it was ripped open and found to contain-----” and Maxie supplied this ending “a hard chestnut box, six feet long and four feet high—containing twenty pounds of gold.” Right Miss Prindle—“In what battle did General Wolfe say ‘I die happy ?” George—“His last battle.” Ready Teacher—“Now I want you to be so quiet you can hear a pin drop.” Silence reigned for a moment then— Small voice from the rear—“Let ’er drop.” Obviously Miss Ketchum—“Russell, name a col- lective noun.” Russel—“A vacuum-cleaner.” Our Apology for the Mossy Ones Whatever trouble Adam had No man, in days of yore, Could say when Adam told a joke, “I v’e heard that one before.” 47 Patronize Our Advertisers They have made this hook possible.

The necessary leisure can be yours, if you have a Westinghouse Automatic Electric Range. Just prepare the evening meal—place it in the oven, any time in the morning or early afternoon—set the clock and thermostat—and you are free. When the time for which the clock is set copies, you may be admiring a pleasing view twenty miles away, or bidding four hearts, or taking charge of a booth at the fair, without a thought of the evening meal. No matter—the clock acts, and the cooking starts. A little later, the thermostat cuts off the current. But the cooking continues by the stored heat. And when you return home in the evening, the meal is ready to serve— perfectly cooked. TRI-COUNTY ELECTRIC COMPANY Ringrwood Avenue Pompton Lakes, N. J.
