RANT A “Peg” Class Debating Team 3 Beta Delta Sigma Nugget Staff 4 Valedictorian Margaret’s intention is to become a teacher. We know that she will succeed. All through her school life she has labored diligently. She is now reaping the just reward of honest labor, for she is Valedictorian. RUSSELL CALDER “RUs” Russell is called “Rus” by those who know him best, and by those who would like to know him bet- ter. All we know is that he’s a good fellow'. ALMA BARTOW “Al” Beware of those eyes and hair, Alma! Laughter seems to he her ever-ready companion. Before many years have passed, Alma will be teaching A, B, C’s to kindergarteners. EUGENE CLAVE “Gene” “Gene ’ is the tall, lanky officer of the Junior ■Safety Squad. He is accomplished in scoutcraft. He enjoyed the trip to Washington immensely, especially when his pal was immersed in that cold hath. OLIVE BEAM “Beamy” Class Basketball 3 Class Volleyball 2 She believes in the saying “Work when you have time.” Lessons never worry her; she lets the teachers do that. However, she expects to be a good nurse someday. Class Debating 2-3 Varsity Debating 3-4 Nugget Staff 4 Salutatorian Class Play 4 Here comes Captain Grace, the witty class orator. Her chief delight is a good debate. May she go through Bryn Mawr and have a brilliant and suc- cessful career. ROBERT DOW “Bob” President I -4 Social Committee 2-3 Manager of Basketball 3-4 Assistant Editor of Hi-School News 4 Nugget Staff Class Debate 3 V'arsity Debate 4 Varsity Basketball 3-4 Varsity Football 4 Hi-Y Club Beta Delta Sigma Behold, dear readers, the “man of affairs” of our class. Boh has proved himself a born man- ager, a hard thinker, and last, hut not least, a regular, all around “guy.” FRANCES CARD “Fran” And here is “Fran”! What would we do if there was not some one around who was quiet, industri- ous, cheerful, friendly, and always willing to lend a hand? Montclair Normal should be delighted to receive such a student! ADDISON DURAND “Yeddy” Class Play 4 Nugget Staff 4 Class Basketball 4 “Yaddy” is the class fun-maker. His ready wit and keen humor have ever lightened the task of an English recitation period. “V addy” has been gen- erously endowed with artistic qualities, too. MAUDE CONKLIN “Balky” Volleyball 2 Secretary An “all-around” sport is Maude—practical, cheerful, and always calm. She has been our Class Secretary this year and is a very speedy typist. Normal School claims her. 19 RUTH COOPER “Rutine ifuth evidently believes in the slogan “Smile and the world smiles with you” because she is smiling most of the time. We are sure that her pleasing disposition will bring her success and happiness. HAROLD GORMLEY “Fat Jocular and rotund is Harold, the expert bean- shooter of the class. Always jovial, “Fat” is every- one’s friend, and will ever offer his aid especially if a practical joke is in the making. MARGARET COULTER “Peg Class Basketball 3 Social Committee 3 Margaret’s saucy hob and mischievous eyes show us that she is always ready for a good time. Al- ways pleasant, never worrying, Margaret seems to have a happy time without effort. RICHARD HEADLEY “Dick “Dick” is a mischievous lad who is an artist in throwing erasers and other missiles. He almost caused Miss Bitner to lose her temper on one oc- casion. He is always smiling and amiable. MURIEL CRANE “Mooie Does she have innocent eyes? Yes, she does have innocent eyes. Does she carry a powder puff? Yes, she always has a puff. Did you say that she can dance? Yes, I said that she can dance—that little Muriel. 20 MABEL DAY Treasurer 1-4 Varsity Basketball 2-3-4 Vice-President 3 Year Book Staff 4 Basketball Manager 3-4 Mabel shines alike in athletics and business af- fairs. She has very creditably filled the position of our Treasurer this year. We are sure our per- sistent, energetic Mabel will make her mark as a teacher. FRANCES DECKER “Deck Treasurer, Athletic Association 3 Varsity Basketball 2-3 Social Committee 1-4 Volley Ball 2 Class Play Class Basketball 4 Frances likes athletics and good times. We find in her a steady worker, and a true friend. Shall we ever forget dignified “Miss Hayes in the class play? ROBERT JENNINGS “Bob Track 3-4 Football 4 Basketball 4 Year Book Staff 4 Hi-Y Member Class Play 4 Bob is an all around good fellow. He shows ability not only in his school work but in football, basketball, and track. This “Charm School” hero has taken his “exams.” for Annapolis. HELEN DE PUYT “Helena Social Committee 3-4 Class Play 4 Helen’s neatness and friendly spirit are already helping her in business activities outside of school hours. She is competent, cheerful, and popular. HELEN EDWARDS “Peg This is one of the cases when red-hair does not show a firey temper. Helen is always calm and ever ready to lend a helping hand. 21 HELEN GORMLEY “Petite Helen” Of worthy note is Helen’s broad smile, and broad back! That “million dollar smile” increases in val- uation when a hot-dog hoves into view. By her good nature, Helen has won the love and friend ship of her classmates. GLADYS HANFORD “Lee” Class Debating 2 , Beta Delta Sigma Nugget Staff 3-4 Here comes Gladys! Industrious, friendly, cheerful, and clever, she is going to Vassar. She has decided to answer the exalted calling to teach French to the coming generation. DANIEL MEAD “Dash!” Hi-Y Club Football 3-4 Class Baseball I Class Basketball 2 Varsity Basketball 2-3-4 Social Committee 3-4 Class Play 4 This giant of our class always got the tip-ofT. When he “Dashed” down the football field clutching the hall, our opponents watched with awe his long form gliding toward the goal. Were they in a game, or watching a slow motion picture? We expect to hear someday of Dash’s “football debut” at Lafayette. NETTIE HISSEM “Ned” Do you hear a scream? Do you look, and see a shivering, shaking girl, all huddled up in her seat, with her hands over her face as if in terror? If such a scene occurs, then, you know that Nettie has seen a hug, a mouse, or a dog. MADELYN HVBNER “Hubby” Social Committee 2-3-4 Class Basketball 3 Madelyn is very strong in keeping an opinion once it is formed. She has many friends and is known as a very neat, chic girl. To he a nurse is her aim—for how long we do not know! v - 22 EVA KITCHELL “Eve' Class Debating Team 2 Beta Delta Sigma Class Play 4 Eva’s red cheeks are the envy of her sister classmates, because, you see, they are natural. She believes in having a good time, but who can blame her for that? ANNA MacKINNON “Anne” Class Basketball 3.4 “Never do today what you can put ofT until to- morrow.” However, Anna’s pleasant personality overcomes this fault. Your nurse’s uniform will be very becoming, “Anne.” THOMAS MILLIGAN “Vance” Advertising Committee 4 Varsity Baseball 2-3-4 Class Baseball 1-2 Thomas, the school’s Caruso, is known for his entertaining both on the stage and on the baseball field. And, someday he may be also a great poet —who knows! BERNADETTE V. MARRAZ7ANI “Bobby” Class Play 4 Here’s a case where appearances are deceiving. To look at her one would think that she is very quiet; but a jollier girl cannot be found. Success to you at Hunter’s College! MARY MARCH I SIN “Shrimp” Volleyball 2 Basketball 3 She’s little but she’s mighty. A midget in stature but a giant in brains! Always the center of fun, always a good student, always the same mood! We might add, that the boys of ’26 have not been blind to her charms. 23 ■ ETHEL TOTTER Varsity Debating 3-4 Class Debating 3 Class Play 4 Social Committee 4 Beta Delta Sigma Class Secretary 1-2-3 Class Treasurer 3 Lthel is one of our talented young actresses and debaters. Pretty, peppy, popular—an all around girl. Her worthy characteristics form a rainbow of promise for her future. MABEL MEG RATH “Mabe” Beta Delta Sigma Year Book Staff 4 Generous, good-hearted Mabe—a large place in our hearts is reserved for her, for never did she refuse to work for her class and school. Can’t you see her in a white uniform, bringing happiness to the suffering in a hospital ward? HELEN MOODY ’ “Henri” Class Volleyball 2 Class Basketball 3 My, how Helen has changed from a quiet, de- mure little Freshie to a peppy, athletic blonde. Perhaps this change was caused by her ambition to become a teacher of Physical Education. May she have a successful career! WILBUR RHINESMITH “Rhiney” Wilbur is our little spit-fire, 60-word-per-minute member. Always willing to offer assistance and having a righteous regard for the welfare of the class, he has been influential in no small way for its success. EDNA NICHOLSON “Eddie” She is shy—until you know her. She doesn’t like to recite in class, but she will get over that when she is a school teacher. 24 HELEN RIEGER Basketball 3 Not very studious is Helen; but an accurate sten- ographer, a good friend, and a loyal member of ’20, would characterize her. She’s the girl who marks us late or absent. Future success be hers! HELLEN SEARLES “Sis’ “Silence is golden” is Hellen’s belief, and yet is she always silent? She always does her best and is a faithful worker. Stenographer Hellen will, not long hence, be on the job every day. KATHERINE RICKMAN “Kay An artistic temperament is Katherine’s. She would much rather paint a picture than write a theme or prepare a history lesson. She believes in taking life as it comes, and just smiles or paints the years away. Artist? Musician? Housewife? Which? GEORGE SCANDLEN Secretary Hi-Y 3 President Hi-Y 4 Music has charms, oratory has charms, sleep has charms, women have charms, for George—but if you should ask him what he likes best in the w'orld —he would answer—a cold bath at 2 A. M. George Washington Inn preferred for the “dipping. MARGARET SEARLES “Peg Margaret is called quiet and sweet by her friends. Her favorite subject is Chemistry! We think that you will make a very good and cheerful nurse, Peggy. 25 ■ BERENICE SMITH “Smiuy Treasurer 2 President 3 Beta Delta Sigma Class Play 4 Latin is Berenice’s hardest task, and boys her easiest. VVe wonder if the State of New Jersey will ever have her on its teachers’ pension list. We doubt it. Her pleasing friendly manner have won many friends for her. ISABEL TAYLOR “Sally Class Play 4 “Her voice was soft and low, an excellent thing in woman.” By perseverance, patience, a good sense ol humor, she has gained the esteem of her class- mates. What do you think of her as a teacher? BENTLEY SMITH “Smiuy” Orchestra I -2 Year Book Staff 1-4 Vice-Pres. 4 Class Play 4 “Smitty” is the wise-cracker of the class. Dur- ing English period his wit appears the sharpest. Yes, we might call him the shiek of shieks. Law' at Syracuse is his ambition. CECELIA TINTLE “Cel You are now gazing at the quietest girl in the class. 1 he most noise that she makes is the “click” of her typewriter, as she carefully and accurately “pounds away.” HILDA TOWNSEND Hilda is persistent and earnest in her work; al- ways cheerful, hut quiet. Bound together by mu- tual interests, she and Maude are inseparable. Nor- mal School holds attractions for her. 26 ALICE TRENT Alice is so thin the we are afraid every breath of wind will overpower her. Never mind, she’s a good faithful worker and a very competent girl. Success, Alice! GEORGE UMSTADTER “Umpy” Class Play 4 “Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast. Here we have the Senior cut-up who has helped “see the” many an audience by his part in our quar- tet. Does he appear as if he’s immune to feminine charms? Guess again! Sometimes looks are de- ceiving. JEANNE TROWBRIDGE “Jane” Year Book Staff 4 Class Play 4 Here is a demure girl, who thinks much, says little, and bothers no one—not even the teachers. Of her sterling character we are convinced, and this chance to say so, we have cinched. IRVING VREELAND “Ding” Social Committee I-2-3-4 (Chairman) “Ding” is one of the most popular boys in the class. His ever-present good nature and his versa- tility have won many friends for him during his high school career. Success at Rutgers! MILDRED VAN ORDEN “Mid” Beta Delta Sigma Volleyball 2 Here we have a typical exponent of the adage “To change her mind is woman’s privilege.” Changeable—that’s “Mid.” Her ever-ready smile and hearty laugh’ ought to assure her success as a nurse. 27 EDNA WILLIAMS “Ed” Beta Delta Sigma Quiet, demure, and friendly is our classmate Edna. Even though Algebra is the bore of her existence, we feel sure she will graduate and be- come a full Hedged teacher some day. HERBERT WARDEN “Ouzel” Class Play 4 “Duzel” is a good sport. He has helped in all the debates by singing in the quartet, and was our humorous ‘Tim” in the class play. Go to it at College, hoy. ELIZABETH ZEAK “Bettie” Can’t you see Elizabeth facing a class of young hopefuls, and putting them through the paces of the fundamentals for their mental training? The answer is—we can, for surely her grim determina- tion, and her ability to command will make her a successful teacher. 28 Senior Slams Name Margaret Banta Soubriquet Maggie Died of Math.

Never will any member of that party of seventy forget a single incident of that eventful journey. Especially can they never forget the visit to Mount Vernon. No description could do justice to Washington’s beautiful mansion, situated at the top of broad, sloping lawns which rise gradually from the Potomac River. Guarding the entrance to the grounds, as it were, the tomb of Washington lends a reverent and awe-inspiring tone to the atmosphere. Martha Washington’s gardens, a plan of winding hedges, and of beautiful old fashioned flower beds, reveal the artistic taste of the mistress of Mount Vernon. The inspection of the house itself, with its old fashioned furniture, with the tokens of the friendship that existed between our first president and France, and with the hundred other personal belongings of the Washingtons, makes the visitors feel intimately acquainted with Mount Vernon and its first owners.

What a thrill I We Seniors are rather proud of our exalted place, and we hope we will be able to prove ourselves worthy of our name. October This is a busy month, my confidant; our class was organized and plans were made for our “big year”. Football season is in full swing and our team going great. The Girls Hi Y was organized and the Boys’ Hi Y had its first ’’feed’ . Had a good time on the Senior hot dog roast at Kakeout. November Junior Armistice Dance—Did 1 have a good time? I should say so, with all thanks to the Juniors. The County Fair occupied the Seniors’ minds and time, but it was worth the effort. A huge success for it gives us a good start for our Washington Fund. December No Chr.stmas play, but we gave a dance and had just as good a time. Two great movements started—Basketball, and Christmas vacation. I welcome both. January Vacation over! Trouble begins with EXAMINATIONS! Results-------just what we ex- pected. February Senior sleigh ride turned out to be an automobile ride. The Sophomores certainly do deserve credit for that dance they gave. Hurrah! We won the debate. Ah, Boonton, we beat you this year. March First edition of the Hi-School News, published by the Boys’ Hi Y. Seniors tried out for “The Charm School . April The big night over! My bosom friend, 1 didn t know we had such charm in our class. And we made our money for our Washington trip, too. May I guess Netcong feels “sorta” sad. Gee, but I’m anxious to see that new Rutgers Banner. Too bad. Class-mates, its all over, but what a trip it was, to be sure. Fresh.-Soph. Speaking contest. Enjoyed it immensely. Freshmen won. Juniors, what a Prom, you gave! Fairyland has nothing on your Japanese Garden! June Year Book gone to Press. Anticipating EXAMS, and Commencement. (An extract from a Senior's diary) Lest You Forget As we write this we weep. Our eyes are moist, yes, even wet. We fret. The sad realization comes to us that soon we shall depart from this honored shrine. Fear grips our hearts with the thought of facing this cold, unrelenting world. But if such desolation confronts us what must be your conjectures; never to see our bright and shining faces, never to hear our melodious voices? Ah—but what melancholy contemplations! Never mind—we are going to console you— So that you may always remember 26, we bestow these gifts upon you: To Mr. Eilenberger-the remembrance of our voices raised in song and shout after school hours. To the Juniors—our class room and seats in assembly. To the Sophomores—our sisterly love. To the Freshman—hopes of graduating. To the Faculty— Miss Bitner-remembrance of our literary characteristics. Miss Van Vleet--hopes that California’s climate will prove pleasant. Mr. Mellott—the right to talk from his two feet. Mr. Anderson—Alice Trent’s lack of appetite. Miss Ketchum—a Spanish cook-book. Miss Langworthy—a pair of rubber heels. To a Certain Few Students: Eva Marchisin—Bob Jennings’s height. Elizabeth Decker—Anna MacKinnon’s success in dieting. Bob Oliver—Bob Dow’s “gift of gab.” Lillie Megrath—“Remarks I Have Made by Ima B.t Sarcastic. Marion Sly—Russell Calder’s dancing ability . Lyle Joh nson--Addison Durand’s unfinished lessons. Bob Pollison—Grace Brown’s energy. Ruth Sell—Eva Kitchel’s hair. Kathryn Kitchel—Eugene Clave’s ability to keep silent. To all those who think they can—the hopes of measuring up to our high standards of intelligence and ability. Non-Resident Pupils Of the 449 pupils registered in the high school during the year 3 50 came from out of town, twelve school districts and four counties beings represented. Bloomingdale registered 76, West Milford 55, Wanaque 50, Pequannock 34, Pomp- ton Lakes 37, Oakland 25, Riverdale 24, Jefferson 18, Kinnelon 12, Wayne 10, Ringwood 5 and Hardyston 2. JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP All these pupils are transported by auto busses except Bloomingdale, whose loca- tion makes transportion unnecessary. Jef- ferson, West Milford and Wanaque pro- vide their own busses and their own drivers. With a specially constructed WANAQUE BOROUGH school body, seating fifty pupils, mounted on a Pierce-Arrow Chassis, and driven by the attendance officer, Wanaque Borough reaches the high-water mark of school transportation. From Riverdale, Pomp- ton Lakes, Pompton Plains and Wayne WEST MILFORD TOWNSHIP Township the pupils are transported by Al’s Bus Line. With fine Pierce-Arrow busses, seating between thirty and forty. AL’S BUSSES this furnishes most satisfactory service. The smaller districts furnish transporta- tion suitable for their requirements.

The one held this year, on May twenty-first, was perhaps one of the most delightful yet given. The High School Gymnasium was changed into a real Japanese Garden, with its colorful lanterns, pink and white streamers, and white lattice-work, embellished by cherry blossoms. The Junior Social Committee, under the direction of their Faculty Advisers, Miss Dorothy Langworthy, and Miss Josephyne Ketchum worked strenuously to assure a pleasant evening. Following old traditions, the gymnasium looked beautiful; the Meadowbrook orches- tra played better than ever; and the dancers enjoyed a most pleasant evening—thus we add another successful Promenade to our list of social events. 42 43 44 Sophomore Class (Read from left Gynith Blakely Anthony Grassi Kathryn Smith Samuel Owen Leona Hopper Alfred Leffel Elizabeth Weaver John Mackey Pearl McClelland Arthur Reilly Mildred Braun Norwood Gormely Helen Miller John Fox Margaret Smith Charles Sontag Henrietta Helmholtz Charles Tallman Adele Varada Harold Howard Catherine Waldron Clarke Poole Ethel Decker William Swatos Hazel Van Orden George Flynn Alice Howard Arthur Pulis Ruth Marion Jacob Brodsky Marjorie Decker Nicholas Rodriques Myrtle Cassimore William Morgan Anna Ryerson Walter Benson Flora Redden Gifford Miller Josephine La Salle Edward Rogers to right on the photograph, beginning Helen Whelan Charles Zeak Elinor Roat Thomas Smith Ruth Megrath Harold Busch Adaline Wyle Roy Brandt Mila Parks Victor Turdo Etta O’Dell William Atkins Claudine McElroy Ralph Gould Bonita Scherer George Benjamin Gladys Evans John Sisco Dorothy Whritenour William Ball Alberta Whetham Roland Marcus Rose Kempf Wilbur Fredericks Cora Martin Richard Cooke Georgieanna McFarlane Gustav Wiegand Annabelle Vreeland Harold Munn Helen Van Riper David Marion Elizabeth Little James Connelly Margaret Kerwin Lucas Banta Marie Fredericks Stephen McGerr Marion Sly with the top row.)

Or to take arms and with a loud voice Tell thy worth. And by applauding, spoil it. (With apologies to Shakespeare) Applause is that “consummation devoutly to be wished,” and yet sometimes the opportunity of earning it is even denied. That is our plaint. How can we cover our- selves with glory when our activities are confined to a dance----And What A Dance It Was! and to a Speaking Contest in which we took first steps toward fame and recogni- tion for we know that success is not measured by prizes awarded or the decision of the judges? Katherine and Helen, our honored speakers, knew our desires and aided us in our efforts. What talents our class may lay claim to must remain hidden until the day when we may discard the yoke which bears so heavily upon our shoulders, that of being one of the lower classes. Dormant now are our abilities, but we are wise beyond our years and know, we need no warning from others, that when the call is sounded we must be prepared. And be prepared we will! Toward this end we strive during our infancy. But hope flames high. Away, despair! Already we can visualize the future. Our cheer leader and president will become a credit to Butler High, indeed is he not now? Nor are we lacking in athletic stars, for the sterling quality of some of our boys and girls has been noticed. The pleasure will be ours, as Seniors, to say that members of our class have helped the Varsity teams bring victory home since their Sophomore year. These are not the only outstanding members of our class. Look at Blanche. Every poster contest she has entered she has won, save one, in which delay, not lack of quality, caused her failure. However, if you recall, the first prize of this contest was won by another Sophomore, Helen Whelan. This assures that in our Senior year when we have need of advertising material, we will not have to appeal to the lower classes for aid. We have another artist; turn the page and see. We, as members of the Sophomore Class must be content to let our known talents develop and our unknown talents to be discovered in our roles as Juniors and Seniors. We shall have to stop now, for if we continue we shall hang ourselves with this line. 46 47 48 Freshman Class (Read from left to right on the photogra ph, beginning with the top row.)

Little merry Freshmen, Modest though we be. Make a mighty High School Says the faculty. Little bits of green Little bits of white Go to make our colors For which we proudly fight. Little tiny Freshmen Babies through and through Make lofty Sophomores And upper classmen true. Little Freshmen green you say, But green things grow more day by day; And so like saplings row on row Our knowledge every day will grow. Everything must have a beginning. A Freshman Class has no long story to tell for it has not had sufficient opportunity to prove itself. On September eighth, Butler High once more opened her doors and admitted n Freshman Class of surpassing size that has since proved to possess an over-abundance of spirit. At the Freshman and Sophomore speaking contest we established a reputation which is not easily excelled. To the faculty we owe our sincerest thanks for their untiring efforts and con. scientious works in helping us through our first year. Under their guidance we, as individuals, united to form a class and became gradually instilled with the irresistible spirit of Butler High. It was this school spirit, aided by the ever growing spirit of the class which has successfully carried us through our Freshman year. May this spirit of enthusiasm, a perfect blending of co-operation, “pep,” and striving for knowledge, ever guide the class of 1929 to future success and victory. 52 Debating Team With the reorganization of the Beta Delta Sigma, our high school was able to launch upon Morris County a skillful, and winning debating team this year. The first debate of the season was March 19, at which time we debated Boonton on the question: “Resolved: That the U. S. Government should own and operate the coal mines.” All the forces in the school were mustered-debating, singing and cheering to try to turn the tables of last year’s contest. Our team, arguing for the affirmative, was awarded the victor by a unanimous decision of the judges. That triumph gave us a chance to participate in the finals, and to be the County champions. Again, Mr. Mellott and his team wrestled with the coal question, and on May 3 we entertained Netcong by a little ’’debating bout”. Mr. Arthur Riley, from Columbia University, was chosen to act as the judge of the debate. He decided in favor of Butler, thus giving us a third Rutgers Banner in our auditorium. One noticeable feature in these debates was the splendid spirit shown by the partici- pants. Enthusiasm from all sides ran high, but never once degenerated into poor sports- manship. 53 54 Girls' Hi Y OFFICERS President - - - Adella Gormley Secretary Vice President - - Althea Decker Treasurer Chairman, Program Committee - Chairman, Social Committee ■ Katherine Kitchel Since last October, the school life of about twenty girls has been made more interesting and more worth while by the organization of the Girls’ Hi Y. This group has not startled the world, nor the school by great achievements, for they are but in infancy, and their influence has not had an opportunity to be felt. Their meetings and their time have been occupied with self-improvement. They have learned the principles of first aid; they have benefitted personally by the study of some of the noted women of our country who have made their lives count for something in the world; they have gained self-confidence in expressing their ideas; they have learned the meaning of the lure of the out of doors” by their hikes; and they have had a good time at their parties. Such are their activities. What the future holds for this organization we can but sur- mise, but we prophesy a successful one. Dorothy Fredericks Isabella Brause Eleanor Heck 55 Boys Hi Y OFFICERS President - - George Scandlen Secretary - - - Jack Barnes v'ice President - - Daniel Mead Treasurer - - Seward McCormack The officers of the Hi-Y, assisted by Mr. Howard Anderson, faculty adviser, suc- ceeded in their endeavor to organize a live” Hi-Y Club. One of the most worthy undertakings is the Hi-School News, the school paper. The editorial board includes Albert Vreeland, editor-in-chief; Robert Dow, associate editor; Beverly Post, news and social editor; Frank Hille, athletic editor; Robert Gaylord, alumni editor; Lawrence Setterfield, business manager; Robert Pollison, printer; and Howard Anderson, adviser. High spots during the year consisted of the two initiations, the donation of the Bulletin Board to the School, the trip to Rutgers College to view a football game, and the visit to the Jersey City “Y gymnasium. Meetings were held every two weeks, and consisted of a Supper in the Kitchen followed by a talk from the guest of honor. Then the members adjourned to the Library, where a business meeting was held. 56 ramuM Football LINE UP Koehnlein, L. H. B. (Capt.) Mead, R. E. McMenamy, R. H. B. Weinstein, R. T. Dow, L. G.

Koehnlein, G. Gormley, G. Ryan, G. Tallman, G. Manager—R. Dow Nine games won and eight lost. Not so bad considering the team was almost entirely composed of new material. The games were well played and every one was full of thrills, so we can safely say that the season was very successful. 59 Zeak, 3B. Atkins, S.S. Van Riper, C. Cary, P. Baseball LINE-UP Skewes, C. F.

The task of moulding out a smooth working machine was too difficult to m perform in one season. Coach Whetham hopes to have a winning team next season as Milligan s place in the eleven will be the only one vacant. 60 Girls' Basketball LINE-UP Katherine Vonden Deale, F. Katherine Kitchell, F. Lois Vreeland, S. C. Elva Buchanan, G. Emily Romain, G. Mabel Day, C. Martha Meyers Ruth Sell SUBSTITUTES Gwendolyn Abbot Ruth Megrath Isabella Brouse Katherine Mullaly When the time came to organize the team the prospects did not appear very en- couraging because of the fact that there was a loss of two of last year s players. A great deal of enthusiasm was aroused by the decisive victory over the Alumni in the first game of the season. However, this ardent spirit was soon dampened by the series of defeats which followed; but in spite of this, the girls maintained a fighting spirit throughout the season. Because only one vacancy will have to be filled, there remains a strong foundation for next year’s team and the girls are hoping for better luck. 61 Never Alone but Always Afraid Alice Trent to Elizabeth Zeak—“Eliza- beth, you’re a terrible coward.
