THE NUGGET 1939 THIS NINETEENTH EDITION OF “THE NUGGET” FEATURES THE MODERN FACILITIES AVAILABLE TO TODAY’S STUDENTS AT BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL. PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS, COMPILED BY THE STAFF, EDITED AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY JOHN BRINSTER AND ADVISED BY ESTHER HAWKINS. oo ISE RESEARCH THE HEART OF TODAY'S SCHOOL In the modern school, there are few fields of study in which research does not play an important part. Since the completion of the new wing, Butler High School is especially well-equipped to provide interesting and effective methods of study. If research is the heart of the school, the library may be called its pulmonary vein. From there, a daily average of 120 books, including litera- ture of all kinds and informative books treating a wide diversity of subjects, are lent out to students; larger reference books, encyclopedias, magazines, and newspapers, are also consulted freely. The pleasant atmosphere of this room encourages stu- dents to use it as a reading room, where they can bury themselves in favorite stories or subjects and forget the cares of classes for a period or two. In order to facilitate scientific instruction which requires active research, a chemistry labora- Page Four tory and a combination physics and biology laboratory are fitted with all necessary materials. In these laboratories, students of science can work independently and watch demonstration experiments made by the instructors. This opportunity to come into actual contact with various phases of research gives them the experience of “do- ing things” which cannot be had merely by reading books. It has been found that certain scien- tific and commercial subjects can be learned much more easily and quickly through the utilization of visual aids. Still slides for graphic presentation, and movies on appro- priate subjects are kept on hand in these departments. In addition, industrial organ- izations send supplementary films and ex- hibits to the school at intervals during the year. Trips taken by classes and clubs com- plete the research program. Commercial students visit offices and factories where they see how things are done and made in the business world; English classes and dra- matic clubs go to plays to study the tech- niques of acting and stage production; French classes attend French movies; biolo- gists take field trips and explore the Museum of Natural History in New York; and astronomy enthusiasts go star-gazing in the Planetarium. The practical advantage of this system of research is obvious. It is no longer neces- sary for students to accept facts just be- cause they find them printed in textbooks. Interest is indeed stimulated when students can prove things for themselves. Another word has been added to a well-worn but essential slogan. Modern education now says, “Stop-Look-Listen! Then Do.’’ Top—CHEMISTRY STUDENTS DOING EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH. Inset—SENIORS BUSY WITH HISTORICAL REFERENCE Center—GENERAL SCIENCE CLASS EMPLOYING VISUAL AIDS. Bottom—BIOLOGY GROUP DISSECTING STARFISH. Page F-ve MODERN EDUCATION DEMANDS SCIENTIFIC nizes the fact that if democracy is to survive it will be not by accident but through design. A modern school also realizes that proper training for citizen- ship is an indispensable factor in the maintenance and the preservation of American democracy. Therefore the concepts of improving sportsmanship, student cooperation, student-teacher relationships; of improving assemblies and the show of courtesy to visitors; of helping needy students, preventing juve- nile crime, and making the school more truly demo- cratic in the real sense of the word are the student contributions to a school democracy which must lead inevitably toward adult contributions to a national democracy.

SMITH Secretary COMMENCEMENT EPOCH IN THE LIFE OF A SENIOR When Miss Average Senior steps up to the platform to receive her diploma, she will indeed have reached a major milestone in her life. From a crowded four years just passed, mem- ories will come thronging. Miss Average Senior will doubt- less remember how as a freshman she was overwhelmed by new places, new faces, new studies—-in fact, a whole new life. When she attended the Freshman Masquerade, she met many of her present friends; and in debating that first year she led her class to glory. A year later, she strung hearts on wires and adorned the gym in red and white hearts and streamers for the annual Sophomore Hop. Dancing amidst this romantic atmosphere, she and her escort won the prize in the “lucky spot dance. The next year at Prom time, she went completely Hawaiian. As she stepped from the gangplank, a Hawaiian girl presented her with a gaily colored lei. In the tropical setting of palm trees, boats, and moonlight on the ocean, she danced away the evening. Opening her senior social year with Christmas, Miss Average Senior gathered hemlock, cut red and green crepe paper, and sang Christmas carols —all in preparation for the Community Sing and Dance. She danced around the beautiful Christmas tree sumptu- ously adorned with lights, and in her Page Twelve gay reverie pondered over what Santa Claus would bring her. Along with the March winds came the annual senior play. “The Late Christopher Bean,’’ a renowned artist, painted many beauti- ful pictures, which supplied the setting for the decorations for the dance held in the gym after the play. Soon after the Easter vacation, plans were com- pleted for the Washington trip. The class treasurers, through a system of in- dividual accounts, determined the amount Miss Average Senior had earned when she sold magazine subscriptions, Christmas cards and senior play tickets earlier in the year. This credit went towards her trip. So she packed her suitcase and left for the national capital. After an enjoyable three days, she came home badly in want of some sleep. A serious mood, however, fol- lowed close upon the heels of the gay- ety and lightheartedness of the Wash- ington trip. Looking forward to the solemnity, pomp, and dignity of Bacca- laureate and Commencement, so rich in tradition, Miss Average Senior prepared to spend her last weeks at school com- bating mixed feelings of regret and an- ticipation—regret for the present so soon to end, and eager anticipation for the future.

All the junior homerooms were located on the first floor this year. In the old building: Room 7—Mr. Cleary, was represented by Roberta Cnieb; and Room 14—Miss Benoy, by Shirley Hatcher. In the new building: Mrs. Ball—Room 43, Miss Coursen— Room 44, Miss Hawkins—Room 45. and Miss Bogardus—Room 47 had as homeroom representatives Mildred Haycock, Robert Pellington, Betty Clinton Ackerman Giles Ackerman Stuart Ackerson Richard Aldrich Norma Allison John Allunario Nancy Aluzzo Gino Anselmo Margaret Arnott Anne Arvidson Richard Assidio Wesley Babb Vincent Babcock James Barlett Albert Bedwin George Biemer Edward Bishop Richard Bishop Donald Blauvelt June Bosley Muriel Bayley Robert Bridge Gloria Brinster Marjorie Brown Vera Brown Sheila Buggeln Arlienne Cahill Vera Cantella Lillian Carlson Josephine Casteran Schofield, and Mary Cullen, respec- tively. Late in January, the juniors pre- sented in assembly a one-act comedy, “Sauce for the Goslings.” The story centered about Bob and Elizabeth Tay- lor (played by William Tintle and Betty Schofield) who continued to use slang despite the efforts of their parents (Donald Jordan and Betty Sears) to cor- rect their ways. On a night when Bob planned to entertain a guest, James Ward (Jack Hendershot) whom Eliza- beth even more than Bob wanted to impress, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, assisted Page Thirtv-fivp by Grandma Martha Lee (Mildred Hay- cock) , decided to teach their offspring a lesson by putting on a slang act of their own. The children, properly em- barrassed, learned their lesson; Eliza- beth made the desired impression; and all ended happily. Since the introduction into English III several years ago of a newspaper unit treating types of newswriting, make-up. production and distribution of large dailies, several junior classes each year visit a newspaper office or two in New York. Some of Miss Coursen’s students this year saw The New York Sun” and “The Daily News” actually in the making. Incidentally, the trip also included the studio tour through NBC. as well as an actual broadcast—at 7 :00 A.M. The crowning glory and great pride of the class, however, was the Junior Prom, given in honor of the seniors. Held as usual in the gym, the Prom was carried out on a Mexican theme, with artistic and original deco- rations. Entirely in keeping was George Henrique’s orchestra, which played many Spanish arrangements. Some- thing never done for former proms was the hand-painted design for the invita- tions created by the art students in col- laboration with the high school print- ery. Thanks for the lovely evening are due to the hard work of Miss Bogardus and her committees, headed by Russell Storms and Roberta Gnieb—art, Caro- lyn Day and Helen Rhinesmith—deco- rations, Jack Hendershot and Jack Levine—construction, Betty Schofield —invitations and tickets, and Betty Sears—refreshments. Looking back, the seniors of to- morrow may be sure that they gave their all when needed, cooDerated with their school associates, and had loads of fun in that never-to-be-forgotten third year of high.

Homeroom representation, however, has continued and the fol- lowing sophomores represent their homerooms: Louise Carpingano, Room 1 8—Miss Smith; Claude Post, Room 1 9 —Miss Blakeley; Louise Coursen, Room 20—Miss Phelan ; Doris Berta, Room 22 —Miss Cormley; John Eisele, Room 23 Helen Adalist Walter Aldrich Lewis Arthur Robert Arthur Martha Arvidson Beatrice Ashcroft Jean Adkins Dorothy Bayne Ruth Bennett Doris Berta Bernice Boden Stella Bowski James Brennan James Brown Margaret Brown Carl Butzback Theresa Campagnia John Carlough Louise Carpignano Andre Cartal Crosby Carter Joseph Cimorelli John Cleary John Conklin Joseph Connizzo Anthony Conte Iva Cook Clara Cook Edna Coursen Louise Coursen —Mr. Miller; Catherine Fitzpatrick, Room 24—Mr. DeVita. These sophomore homerooms are located on the top floor of the main building. The class of '41, as freshmen, was the last class to occupy the “shelf,” that is, those rooms set apart in the old building previously belonging to Mrs. Marshall, Miss Banta, Miss Hayward, and Mr. Caruso. Following precedent, as freshmen, they held their annual Freshmen Mas- querade in October, 1937. Those who Page Thirty-nine served on the various committees were: Estelle Smith, Ruth Bennett, Beatrice Ashcraft, Claude Post, Joe Cimarelli, Joe Ensley, and Moya Smith. Cider and doughnuts were served and Scottie pencil sets given as prizes. At the end of the freshman year the class of '41 presented the play, “Do You Believe in Luck,” to welcome the new freshmen from all districts on the day set apart for their orientation. The plot centered around a valuable string of opals, owned by the maiden aunt of the niece who borrowed it without per- mission and lost it. The niece, por- trayed by Catherine Fitzpatrick, lost the opals at a dance when she became very much annoyed with her escort for leaving without explaining. The next day, when he tried desperately to get in touch with her, she refused to see him or talk to him. She searched for the necklace—but to no avail. As a last resort, she placed an ad in the paper, even though the loss of the opals was kept a secret from her family. There were many who professed knowledge of the necklace in answer to the ad, but no real information was uncovered. She was frantic with worry until her deter- minded escort of that ill-fated evening managed to get by the colored maid to announce that it was he who had the necklace. His abrupt departure, he ex- plained, was caused by his successful pursuit of the thief who had taken the opals. The play was greatly enjoyed by the visitors. The class of '41 is one of notably good debaters. As freshmen they came very close to winning the interclass championship. They defeated the soph- omores, but lost the final debate to the seniors. However, this year as sopho- mores, they emerged victorious from the annual debating series. By over- coming the freshmen, they earned the right to debate with the juniors, who had defeated the seniors in a previous debate. A favorable decision from the judges awarded the final victory to the sophomores.

The freshmen were very for- tunate this year in their allotment of homerooms, which are all in the new wing. They occupy three on the top, one on the second, and three on the ground floor. The social activities of the latest class to be registered at Butler High School culminated in the outstanding event of any freshman year, the mas- BETTY LUND RUTH O’DELL querade party. The class was well rep- resented and all had an enjoyable eve- ning. Prizes were awarded for the best dressed, funniest, and most original cos- tumes. The fun ceased with the serv- ing of refreshments and the lights were dimmed at nine—a time most fitting and proper for freshmen. Executive work was carried out by committee chairman under the direction of the class adviser, Mrs. Marshall, who also took charge of decorations.

With the innovation of the Information Please assembly program under the auspices of the Student Council, all classes were afforded an opportunity to contend for laurels in the field of general knowledge. The ex- perts consisted of outstanding represen- tatives from each class whose job it was to answer questions submitted by the students. Each contestant received twenty-five cents for each question that he answered correctly; and for each question that was not answered, twen- ty-five cents was paid to the submitter. To the surprise of everyone, the fresh- men excelled in both divisions of the game and proudlv bore away much of the booty. In the light of this per- formance, it is indeed understandable why such a large percentage of the honor roll students are from the ninth grade. Because so many districts are rep- resented in our school, pupils in their first year meet many new people. Nat- urally, a period of time must elapse before a class under such conditions can be organized. Consequently their elec- tion of officers differs from other class elections in that it is held in the spring. As a result of this election, the fol- lowing freshmen represent their home- rooms: Wanda Zeak, Room 67—Mr. Caruso; Carolyn Henry, Room 65—Mr. Conklin; Joan Van Keuren, Room 63— Mrs. Marshall; Leason Fleigner, Room 55—Mr. Ball; Doris Conklin, Room 53 —Mr. Rickman; Corah Harris and Jo- seph Babcock, Room 57—Miss Banta; Ceorgiana Tintle, Room 46 — Miss Hayward.

Nor was it very long ago when a single room was shared by two or more classes. Perhaps too, some of us remember when the frosting on Mrs. Johnson’s cakes was decorated with sawdust or wood shavings from the manual training shop next door. Then, too, the first art classes were held in the cafe- teria which at the time was not even equipped with running water. Spaciousness does indeed facilitate spe- cial classes. Music classes need no longer meet in the cafeteria, nor on a wing of the stage as was formerly necessary. This year the new addition contains a modern and ade- quately designed music room. Manual train- ing is no longer limited to the small room in the old building; it has now grown to a depart- ment of Industrial Arts, housed in a building of its own to which more and better equip- ment is added each year. The recent addi- tions include two large wcodlathes, a jig saw, a band saw, a plane, and a circular saw. The Page Forty-six ADDED FACILITIES shop is further furnished with a sizable metal- work bench and enough wood-work benches to accommodate all the students. As these prac- tical classes expanded, room had to be found elsewhere for the printery. The print shop is equipped with a fairly large press, an up-to- date paper cutter and a reasonable amount of other equipment. The art room is probably one of the largest single improvements this year. More space and improved lighting conditions have for a long time been the prime needs of the art department. The new art room has been so constructed and so located as to meet both these requirements. A new and well equipped sewing room is another welcome addition to the building in the way of special classrooms. No longer need sewing classes cut and baste in the same room in which cakes and cookies are made. Butler also boasts a more spacious library, a larger cafeteria, and to complete the list of innovations, an extensive locker system con- tained in the new corridors. Page Forty-seven EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES PUT THEORY INTO PRACTICE The develop- ment of hobbies and recreational interests in school paves the way for an intelligent use of leisure time in later life. Feeling this the back- bone of an extra curricular program. Miss Jaeckle and Mr. Conklin have collaborated with Mr. Easterbrook in order to coordinate an effec- tive program broad enough to include a large variety of interests. By using a double club period in the schedule twice a week, and by arranging bi-monthly meetings for many clubs, they have made it possible for more people to participate in clubs this year. Student response to this more flexible program has resulted in a combined membership of more than 2,000 students in 60 activities of all kinds. i Flfr.TWO Page Forty-nine PREPARING STUDENTS FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT For a closer relationship between stu- dents and faculty; for better school organiza- tion through student government; to represent the student body in matters which cannot be presented to the school as a whole—for these things the Student Council has been estab- lished in B. H. S. As an auxiliary to the Council, homeroom representatives are elected. They work directly with the Council in all projects requiring the support and coop- eration of each student. Without this inter- mediary group, it would be practically impos- sible to reach individual students. This year's Student Council has func- tioned actively, serving the students and school in every way possible. The members have carried on most of the traditional enter- prises to provide students with entertainment, and to help out in various school affairs. Of their new undertakings, the most outstanding is a system of hall patrol, designed mainly to check aimless wandering in corridors. They also set up a Lost and Found station where students could claim articles during a speci- fied period each day. All money profits were deposited in a Club Fund, from which clubs could draw reasonable amounts as needed. The success of these activities may have led the administration to place in the hands of the Council the sole power of decision in a complete school reorganization program to be put into effect next year. A change was thought advisable, since the larger building and registration make it difficult for each class to hold regular meetings. The new plan will abolish class officers and class dues, and substitute a student organization to which all students will be expected to subscribe. It is hoped that under this system Butler High School, with the Student Council to lead, will rise to a new high in school spirit. THE SENIOR SERVICE CLUB CONFERS WITH ADVISER IN PLANNING SENIOR ACTIVITIES THE SECRETARIAL CLUB CUTS STEN- CILS DURING A CLUB PERIOD COORDINATING UNITS FOR ACTIVE SERVICE For the many seniors who have the sin- cere desire to be of service to the senior class and to the faculty, the senior service and sec- retarial clubs came into existence. The senior service club was created for the first time this year, to fill a long-felt need for organizing senior plans and business which can better be taken care of at scheduled club meetings rather than by committees appointed at random at senior class meetings. The mem- bers of the senior service club are appointed from the various senior homerooms according to their individual fitness for special activities. The primary aim of the senior service club is to further the success of the various financial projects which in turn make the Washington trip possible. Since it is so representative of the senior class, it acts as an advisory body of the class at large and makes recommenda- tions for class action. This club has done much to foster class spirit and to strengthen senior business organization. An essential requirement for admission into the secretarial club is that all members be commercial students and seniors. They are then appointed to serve as secretaries to teachers, to do typical office work like cutting stencils and typing letters. The secretarial club probably does more hard work than any other club—every period every day some is being done. These competent secretaries can usually be found in their new secretarial office, especially fitted for use this year. Com- bining business with pleasure, the secretarial club visited a bank and plan a sightseeing trip to the National Broadcasting Company studios in New York City. Page Fifty-one Inset—EDITORIAL STAFF EXAMINES YEARBOOK LAYOUT Upper Right—BUSINESS STAFF CHECKS ON FINANCES Lower Left PHOTOGRAPHY FDITORS WORK TOWARD INFORMALITY Lower Right—TYPISTS PREPARE FINAL COPY FOR PRINTER TRAINING IS IMPORTANT TO FUTURE JOURNALISTS An occupation perhaps just as ro- mantic as that of stage or screen, and certainly as stimulating as it is fasci- nating, is journalism. Public opinion is dependent upon and largely controlled by those who write for newspapers and magazines. Since ideas must be ex- pressed in a forceful and popular way, and since effective phraseology is rarely acquired without experience, or- ganization of ideas and the ability to visualize in words are very necessary qualifications for high school journalists as well as professional ones. In short, journalism is an ideal vocation for a per- son who has a flare for writing, and pos- sesses a keen interest in things and events. Starting out with the desire to turn the 1939 Nugget into a new and differ- ent book, the staff decided to depart as far as possible from the traditional set-up of former years. Probably the most outstanding difference is in the type of photography used. The pictorial emphasis this year has been toward life background and added informality in all group pictures. Owing to the difficul- ties of the complicated club program, this system required much more plan- ning than was necessary in the old sys- tem which depended largely upon com- mercial photography. Feeling that the groups in their entirety were too large to take and that a representative group from each club would supply the neces- sary atmosphere, the staff photogra- phers armed themselves with their sec- ond-hand camera and home-made lights, and invaded one club after another dur- ing activity periods. The Nugget staff, nominated by a year book committee and elected by the senior class, roughly divides itself into two parts—production and business. The editorial staff, made up of the lit- Page Fifty-two erary editor, two personals editors, two photography editors, a feature editor, and an activities editor, functions as a unit, however, in each phase of publi- cation. In fact, the editor-in-chief is not elected by the staff until a major portion of the book has been compiled and the specific job of make-up is ready to be started. Inasmuch as the Maple Leaf is open to four classes instead of being re- stricted to seniors as in the case of the year book, it affords more extensive opportunities to more people in the way of journalistic training. Topped by three major editors— make-up, news, and features—the staff also includes sports, exchange and art editors, as well as a large reporting staff drawn from the four classes. A fairly large business staff made up of circula- tion and advertising managers take charge of all distribution, collections, and advertisement. The Maple Leaf probably more than any other school organization in the school was seriously handicapped by the change in club policy this year. The time schedule provided an activity period for underclass clubs as well as upperclass clubs, but unfortunately not the same period. Therefore, the staff had to dispense with complete staff meetings entirely. Underclass reporters must meet at one time with one adviser while upperclass members meet with another. In spite of the difficulties attendant upon a divided staff, the paper has been well edited and has been supported whole-heartedly by the student body throughout the school year. TYPICAL SCENES FROM THE SENIOR PLAY. THE LATE CHRISTOPHER BEAN STAGE-CRAFT ATTRACTS LARGE GROUPS The lure of the theatre has always been a powerful influence where modern youth is concerned. The glamour of grease paint and borrowed wigs, the confusion, hustle and bustle backstage, the excitement and thrill of a first night are attractions not to be minimized. The large enrollment in our dramatic clubs shows an upward trend toward dramatics in our school, and many and varied have been the activities of these groups. Expressing meaning without dialogue by giving panto- mimes was one of the first things the fresh- man club attempted. Among other things, the sophomores concentrated upon a study of make-up, voice, facial expressions and effec- tive actions of hands and body. Since the sophomore and freshman club presentations in assembly usually come very late in the school year, these general discussions concerning technique take on added value. A discussion of current Broadway plays by the members of the junior club gave an in- sight into what is going on in the theatrical world. On January 27, the juniors presented the play. Sauce for the Goslings, and later in the spring managed to secure enough re- hearsal time for another enjoyable perform- ance. Acquiring poise and ease in front of an audience was the goal striven for in the senior club. After studying voice modulation and good inflections, the senior club presented a short radio play. The hill-billy comedy, “Cornin’ Round the Mountain, was chosen later for the major performance. Two casts were used, one for the junior-senior assembly and one for the underclass assembly. Beyond a doubt, the dream of every member of these dramatic clubs is to see him- self play the lead in his own senior play some day. Certam it is that the knowledge and ex- perience gained by membership in this series of clubs materially affects one of the main money-making projects of the senior year.

Lower Right—JUNIOR FORUM DISCUSSES WORLD PROBLEMS OF TODAY POWER OF EXPRESSION DEVELOPS IN YOUTH The restless condition of world affairs at the moment has a tendency to motivate a considerable amount of discussion in outside social circles. It is only natural, therefore, to introduce similar opportunity for discussion into scholastic groups in high school. Butler has two such groups, debating and forum clubs. To take care of growing interest in de- bating, it became necessary some years ago for the debating club to separate into four class groups. This not only proved a more convenient means of meeting and working to- gether, but tended to increase a spirit of friendly rivalry between the four classes. At the beginning of a school term, each group’s enthusiasm is centered upon becoming inter- class champions. Beginning with the fresh- man-sophomore debate, the victorious team then competes for the championship with the winning team of the junior-senior debate. Interclass debates are not the only ones carried on in Butler. Members are selected from the four debating groups, to challenge a school team from Roxbury. It is interesting to note that in the interclass debates there are faculty judges. However, in a Butler- Roxbury debate, the decision is given by the student audience through the ballot box. Although debating and forum groups have much in common, their objectives vary. Formal debate technique is notably absent in forum discussions. The only prerequisite for membership in these informal clubs is interest in the political and social world in which we live. To build up opinions, to be able to state those opinions clearly to others, and to pre- serve an open mind capable of listening intel- ligently and courteously to the other side, are the goals set before each member. Beginning as a senior activity, the forum movement now includes a junior and an un- derclass group as well as the original senior club. Page Fifty-five DANCE ORCHESTRA IN ACTION MUSIC GROUPS FOSTER APPRECIATION Vocal and instrumental group activities take care of a wide variety of musical interests. Orchestral activities offer both symphony and dance orchestras. Music lessons now pro- vided after school are helping to make the symphony more bal- anced and fuller, especially in the string section. As usual, the group played at the Christmas Community Sing, the Senior Play, Baccalaureate, the High School and Grammar School Commencements, and special assemblies. The dance orchestra, an offshoot of the symphony, is a picked group. The “Hometowners played for dancing after the Community Sing, the Senior Play, and the home basketball games. Along with the glee club, they presented a special program in May at Butler and at Pompton Lakes. Probably the most popular musical group in school is the glee club, which is generally conceded to be one of the finest organizations of its kind in the county. The glee club sang, by invitation, for the county boards of education in February, and in April for the county music teachers' association. At the Community Sing, they presented their Christmas recital, and later sang at Baccalaureate and Commencement. Butler is proud that for the first time one of the group, Ramon Kelly, made the all-state chorus. Upper Left—GLEE CLUB REHEARSES FOR CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT.

SERVICE CLUBS GIVE TIME GENEROUSLY Perhaps the most valuable clubs in school are those which serve the student body as a whole. In the case of some service clubs, membership is restricted; but other clubs, in- cluding some of the service type, are open to everyone. Both the library and the banking clubs, however, belong to the first group. The library club is a service club com- posed of girls from all four classes who are especially interested in books and reading. These girls are trained in library mechanics and act as assistants to the librarian. There are two library clubs, which meet every two weeks at different times but are considered one club. At this time, various activities such as library instruction, book games, discussions, and reading of new books take place. Social activities include hikes, suppers, a Christmas party, trips to nearby libraries, and a day spent in New York City attending a play and visit- ing places of note. Another service club of paramount im- portance is the banking club, whose purpose is to enable the student body to deposit money easily and to encourage it to deposit money more often. The organization functions as an average bank does, except that it operates on a much smaller scale. It is indeed remarkable that all the clerical work connected with the banking, not only of the high school but of the grammar school as well, is done by but six members who are appointed by the faculty adviser. Members, provided they do satisfac- tory work, remain in the club until graduation, at which time vacancies are filled by under- classmen. At meetings, the members record the individual deposits of the students, take care of withdrawals, and go to the bank with money. It is interesting to note that there is an active balance of over two thousand dollars on the books throughout the greater part of the year. Page Fifty-seven CLUBS EXPAND CLASS INTERESTS INTO HOBBIES Many of the clubs in our school have sprung directly from classroom activities. Not compulsory in any sense, they enable a student to delve deeper into some of his special inter- ests and hobbies. Out of Junior English classes came the movie club, made up of upperclass- men and advised by Miss Coursen. In their meetings they discussed current movies and held contests, such as a “What‘s My Name” contest, similar to that sponsored by the Philip Morris program on the radio. Interesting pic- tures and information about new movies were regularly posted by the club on the bulletin board near the auditorium. Another just-for-fun club is the chess club of Mr. Herling’s. Mem- bers learned to play and to teach this intricate game. They held a Round Robin tournament and made plans for challenging student chess clubs else- where in later years. Many upperclass commercial stu- dents found the business club a great advantage. Shorthand and typing con- tests were held each month; the win- ners had their names entered on a plaque. The club made tours of the Butler telephone exchange and the Argus office. They also visited the offices of the rubber mill. Opportuni- ties in banking were discussed by Mr. Eichen of the Butler bank. Early in April they sponsored a business show with exhibits of rubber, sugar cane and old typewriters in evidence. These ex- hibits were later donated to the com- mercial geography department. From the geography classes came the travel club of Miss Benoy’s, in which was dis- cussed means of travel. The members also planned trios north and south; they studied the World's Fair, planning a trip there; and did some actual travel locally. The seniors had open to them an advanced math club, advised by Mr. Top—MOVIE CLUB, CHESS CLUB.

They worked on a course not included in the high school curriculum, learned many mathematical recreations and proved that math is really great fun for some people. A similar club for the underclassmen was formed by Miss Banta. Miss Cormley started an as- tronomy club for underclassmen who were in- terested in the heavenly bodies: their constel- lations, movements, and histories—true and legendary. All the boys who were old enough to have drivers’ licenses were eligible to join Mr. Egli's automobile club. This group learned of rules, laws, and cautions ensuring safety, considera- tion, and pleasure while driving. They also studied some automobile mechanics, and learned how to care for a car, and how to make small repairs in case of emergency on the road. Two camera clubs were formed this year under Mr. Van Heusen and Mr. Rickman. In these clubs members learned that there is more to photography than meets the eye through a Kodak “Hawkeye Junior.” The students, interested in learning some of the many technicalities involved in taking timed exposures, night pictures, angle shots, and moving objects, also learned a little about de- veloping. coloring, and enlarging pictures. Many French students were interested in French life; so Miss Bogardus organized once again her well-known “Entre Amies” club. During the year they presented many short plays, learned French folk songs and popular songs, and discussed French holiday festivals. They had a Christmas party and play to which they invited guests, both students and faculty. In February they gave a tea at which an ex- change student from France was the guest of honor. Club members even celebrated two French holidays, De Gringo and St. Catherine’s Day. A trip to New York to see the Nor- mandie and a French movie was taken in March. Strictly recreational in character were the five ping-pong clubs, newcomers to our club program. The members learned the game thoroughly and practiced during their meet- ings. A tournament to determine the best player was also played out. Mr. Caruso gathered together underclass boys who were seriously interested in the arf of wrestling, and they came in contact with some of the pointers and “hard-knocks” ex- perienced by the amateur “rassler.” They held evenly matched contests among themselves after they had been taught the fundamentals of the sport. The amateur wrestler’s weight can range between 90 and 1 80 pounds; his op- ponent’s weight is always within five pounds of his own. Because of the rising popularity of wrestling as a school sport, the wrestling club hopes to evolve into a competitive wresting team in later years.

SERVICE GROUPS DEVELOP CHARACTER The Girl Reserves is an open-membership organization sponsored by the YWCA. In our school this year, there were five such clubs which vied with the rod and gun clubs for the honor of having the largest membership. Their initiation was held very effectively in candle light. The greatest affair of the year they consider to have been their Christmas party, celebrated with appropriate games, festive decorations and refreshments. Be- cause of the size of the group, there were two parties held on different nights. In their meetings they discussed clothes, personalities, and famous pictures; they made scrapbooks and learned handcraft. Throughout the year they took several campfire hikes, learned many new games, and held a roller-skating party in Haskell. Many members went to the older girls’ conference in Boonton early in May, and several of the girls spent a weekend in June at Camp Morris. A similar service group for boys is the Hi-Y, composed of upperclassmen elected by the older members. Although the boys did not have many meetings, they met once a month for a swim in the Paterson YMCA. The alumni Hi-Y, made up of graduate members who enjoyed the club too much to give it up, invited the student group to many joint meet- ings with them. Three delegates—John Brin- ster, Laurence Crum, and Albert Wickham— were sent to the state conference at Trenton. John Brinster, Harold Clark, Russell Decker, and Albert Wickham went to the county con- ference at Chatham in March. The boys, as usual, had a basketball team that played other Hi-Y’s and the faculty, and baseball teams which, in former years, have won many county championship trophies. On May 6, they en- tertained the Hi-Y leaders at a dinner and conference. These groups have chapters in high schools all over the country. They strive to develop character and teach youth to become dutiful citizens. Page Sixty OUT-DOOR SKILLS IMPROVE SPORTSMANSHIP Upper Left—ROD AND GUN CLUB PREPARE EQUIPMENT.

Center Right-ACTI VE MEMBERS PITCH CAMP DURING HUNTING SEASON Lower Left—UPPERCLASS FIRST AID CLUB LEARNS USE OF SPLINTS Lower Right—UNDERCLASS FIRST AID DEMONSTRATES ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION The rod and gun club has followed out a rather full itinerary this year. With an in- crease in membership came a proportional in- crease in activities. In order to find out what they did not know, the boys (and girls) began by filling out a questionnaire on hunting. Fish and game laws were next distributed. With this foundation, they were ready to go on to more exciting things. They competed in a fly-tying contest for which two prizes were donated by the Erskine Preserve, where the entire club spent a day fishing. In February they went to the Sportsman’s Show in New York. Then came the spring, when a young man’s fancy reallv turns to fishing; and the anglers reveled in the outdoors, practicing fly and bait casting, and taking fishing trips. The purpose of this club, however, is not primarily enjoyment. The members strive for clean sportsmanship, and plan every meeting with the idea of learning something that will help them in this aim. Started this year by popular demand, the two first aid clubs have concentrated upon learning the skills of emergency first aid. By reading books and pamphlets on the subject, the members gained a good deal of valuable information. The faculty advisers instructed them further, and demonstrations were given whenever possible. In order to secure a close- up of first aid supplies in actual use, club members inspected the equipment of the Pompton Lakes ambulance. All lectures and demonstrations, how- ever, have led toward a practical goal. The American Red Cross, in order to encourage first aid groups such as ours, awards cards cer- tifying that the recipients have successfully passed a test covering the essentials of first aid. These coveted little cards have served as concrete motivation for an activity which we hope will be a permanent addition to our club program. Page Sixty-one B U T L O N PARA musical contribution to the atmosphere and color of athletic events, the band along with the cheer- leaders was among those feted at the annual ath- letic dinner in December. Originally organized as a football band, in past years this musical organization has been disbanded at the end of the football season. This year, how- ever, its activities have extended throughout the year. We hope that next year public appearances will occur after Thanksgiving as well as before. Following literally in the footsteps of the band, the cheerleading squad has supplied leadership for vocal school spirit. In colorful gold culottes and blue sweaters, the sixteen cheerleaders under the direction and supervision of Mr. Miller withstood wind, rain, and even mud to spur the players on to victory. Although cheerleading is “great fun, to quote the members, it also requires long hours of tedious gymnastics. Aching bones and muscles were endured willingly, however, for the thrill of giving a cheer for the players who had just marched down the field to make a glorious touchdown. The band and cheering squads have worked zealously to arouse school spirit in the heart of each supporter. Together they symbolize mass appre- ciation of clean sportsmanship and fair play. May these qualities always characterize Butler on Parade. BEFORE THE FRAY . . Page Sixty-two No Butler fan who has watched an exciting athletic game on the home field has not felt a surge of pride sweep over him as the colorful school band, followed by the cheerleaders, marched cnto the athletic field. Each year the band, under the leadership of Mr. Ball, has progressed until now it can hold its own with any other of its size. During the past year, the band held rehearsals during the activity period, Mondays and Tuesdays. Aside from super- vising rehearsals, Mr. Ball gave evening instruction on all band instruments to new or would-be mem- bers of the band. In recognition of their stirring . . . ON THE GRIDIRON Through all kinds of weather, the Butler football squad charged down the field to complete a season of six victories, two ties, and two defeats. The season opened September 24, in Morristown, on an unusually warm after- noon. The game was a hard-fought one, ending in a 0-0 score. Russell Decker, co- captain with Lawrence Crum, sat on the bench, disconsolately nursing a collar-bone broken in pre-season scrimmage. The next three games were on the home field: Newton went down with a zero score to our 17 points; Hawthorne couldn’t stop our passing attacks which rang up an 18-6 score in our favor, and Boonton tied us at 13. Next came the big conflict with Pompton Lakes n Paterson. The score was 6 to 0—Butler’s first loss and Pompton’s first win of the season. We then won the next two games with Roxbury and Dover. The Franklin game, on their field, was an upset; for they carried away the game 1 3 to 6. In spite of the rain and mud, Butler waded to victory over Ramsey with a 1 2 to 0 score. Thanksgiv- ing finished a heavy schedule with a game against East Orange’s new Scott High. A faithful group of spectators braved Butler's first snow storm to see the team climax the season with another win —20 to 0. Butler carried away several honors this year. For the first time, a B. H. S. team won the Morris County Class “A” Championship; and, in addition, came out second in the Tri-County competition. Farrand won a place on the All-State second string; Osterhoudt, De Graw and Farrand received positions on the Tri-County All-star team. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Morristown Newton Hawthorne Boonton Pompton Roxbury Dover Franklin Ramsey Clifford Scott Butler Butler Butler Butler Butler Butler Butler Butler Butler Butler FOOTBALL Page Sixty-three . . ON THE COURT The only indoor varsity sport at B. H. S. receives excellent support from students and outsiders alike. The woods seem to be full of basketball fans who venture out on winter evenings, and the players themselves enjoy every game to the fullest. Although this past season could hardly be termed successful in a literal sense, it gave B. H S. routers a degree of moral satisfaction to see some strongly favored rivals go down in defeat. Butler s hopes soared when a preliminary game with the alumni gave the Blue and Cold a 32-28 victory. A closely contended starter with Dover, in which Butler ost by one point, officially opened the interscholastic season. In the games which followed, the Butler five succeeded in upsetting all fore-casts. Breaking Hackettstown s record as unbeaten Tri-County Champion for three years by an un- expected 27-20 triumph, the Blue and Cold’’ lost ground by a wide-margin loss to Hawthorne—and so the sea- son went. A fast-scoring Boonton team put up the most vigor- ous offensive against the Blue and Cold.” The great- est conquest was the van- quishing of those old foes, the Pompton Cardinals, for the first time in six years. The memorable score in the first game was 33-29, and after a hard-fought battle, the second game also went IU Durier. i ne junior varsity players had a fairly encouraging season, winning about halt of their games.

Under the burning rays of a hot summer sun, nine boys near the end of the school year step out to the baseball diamond to thrill spectators with a fast game of America’s favorite sport, baseball. To Mr. Average Baseball Fan, sitting on the bleach- ers in noisy comfort, a baseball game means tops in entertainment; but to the team playing in the tor- rid weather, baseball means the last opportunity given a varsity squad to bring honor to its Alma Mater. This year, ten members were lost to the team through graduation. Last season’s baseball team consisted of seven veterans and only two new members. Small wonder that the season of 1938 was an outstanding one. In a game marked by Butler’s errors, Franklin took the baseball opener last year on the Butler diamand 9 to 3. Butler High’s baseball team suffered the second de- feat of the year when the scoreboard showed a 7 to 2 decision in the game played against Pompton on the home diamond. The turning of the tide toward victory was heralded by the defeat of Sussex 8 to 7. The game was closely contested, however, and required four extra innings to break a 7-7 tie. Butler won its second game against Newton the hard way by the score of 4-3. Two errors marred an otherwise well- played game. Another victory was chalked up for the B. H. S. nine when they sent Newton down to defeat with a score of 1 1-3. All in all, an exceptional season was the season of ’38; out of the eleven games played, eight were victories. A year later, Butler remembers with pride that last year’s team gave us the Tri-county baseball championship.

IN CLASS AND OUT Although boys secure their letters by en- gaging in varsity sports, there is but one way for the girls to secure theirs, and that is by playing on interclass teams. These teams are selected by the gym instructress from daily gym classes. For each sport, there are four teams, made up of freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior players, who have ability in that particular sport. Interclass teams are chosen for each seasonal sport as the year progesses. In the fall, field hockey is the principal sport for the girls. There were several inter- class hockey games from which the seniors emerged victorious. As the hockey season ended, basketball began. Basketball, a major sport for both boys and girls, deserves inter- class teams as well as a varsity team. In inter- class basketball as well as interclass hockey, the seniors took honors. The next major sport for girls is volleyball in which sport the sopho- mores excelled. In the spring will come base- ball. There will be interclass teams for this sport, too. When the girls are not playing hockey, basketball, and the other sports already men- tioned, they are having races, playing dodge ball, taking archery, or playing badminton. These sports have no interclass teams, but they add interest to gym classes and give the girls variety. In the gym class once a week, the Passaic County golf pro comes to Butler High School to instruct the girls (and boys) in golf. These golf lessons prove very interesting, especially later in the year when those who show possi- bilities for the future are taken to the golf course. There is a varsity golf team but it is composed mainly of boys. These gym classes give the girls a chance to improve themselves in the various sports. By having interclass teams, they have a chance to learn the ideals of sportmanship. Page Sixty-six and now llie Atlantic!
