Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1944 volume:

THE NUGGET Published by the Class of 1944 of Butler High School Butler, New Jersey Dedication . Administration Senior Class Underclasses Autumn . . Winter . . Spring . . bedica tion We, the class of 1944, affectionately dedicate our Nugget to the students of Butler High School who are now serving our country in the armed forces. To these who have sacrificed so much in order to preserve the freedom we have learned to cherish dearly, we wish to express, however inadequately, our love and deepest gratitude. Many of them have been our companions and closest friends for our four years in Butler. We especially remember the boys in our own class who have given up the last year in high school to join the service. All of them we have missed particularly, and we shall always hold for them a very warm spot in our hearts. Wherever they are—whether at home, on the high seas, or on foreign soil—we are thinking of them. We wish them to know that we, their class- mates, take pride in their brave actions and in the nobility of their sacrifice. Some among them have made the supreme sacrifice in laying down their lives for us. And for those others who are fighting or who are still to see action, we pray for their safe return when this ordeal is ended. Page Four James Milligan JoHts BaBS Harry Babcock.

Page Five y4ufumn .... Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness John Keats As the leaves turn yellow and brown and the days become shorter, our thoughts turn from vacation to school interests. This year, in the midst of the war, we have tried to preserve the funda- mental ideals for which we have striven in the past. At the same time we have recognized that there are special obligations which we, as a school, must assume in order to do all that we can to win the war and participate in the building of a just and lasting peace. It was in this spirit that we entered upon our autumn's activities, determined to take advantage of our opportunities for service. lAJinter .... The smallest effort is not lost Each struggle lessens human woe. Charles Mackay Even before the first snows fell we began to comprehend the magnitude of the tasks we had undertaken. We realized that our part in the solution of world problems must depend upon our individual efforts. Such an effort we made in the role we played in the Third and Fourth War Loan Drives. The school, as a small community, found satisfaction in working toward a definite goal. As winter wore on and many of our boys were called into service, we began to feel more and more keenly what sacrifices we should be called upon to make. .Spring .... Humanity with all its fears. With all its hopes in future years— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow As our graduation approaches we look back on a year which we have tried to spend in preparing for citizenship in a world where the rights of man are respected and upheld. Responsi- bility for building this world rests upon us all. With faith in the future, we look forward to the new day in which our hopes can be realized. Page Six Left to right: Carrie L.

As we became Seniors we found that we had grown up enough to under- take the management and responsibilities of our class. The first of these tasks proved to be the prosaic matter of raising needed funds for financing projects which are customarily undertaken in the Senior year. We launched a maga- zine campaign determined to be successful, and we exceeded our quota. Our next responsibility was managing and financing our yearbook, which this year became more expensive on account of shortages. We sold Christmas cards and wrappings in order to make ends meet. An undertaking which brought us pleasure, as well as a real sense of the obligations we must meet, was the production of the Senior play which called upon us not only for dramatic talent but work behind the scenes which is of comparable importance. We tried to do our part in various ways toward helping in all phases of war work, and in this endeavor we felt that we were a part of all that our school stands for. In these and other ways the Class of 1944 learned to work and play to- gether and have built up a storehouse of happy memories for years to come.

A primary concern of this year's Student Council has been to reaffirm our belief in the ability of students of secondary school age to exercise control over their own conduct and to establish the high morale of which our school may be justly proud even in wartime. Through the realization that the school is what the students are and what we make it, we feel that some advancement has been made toward our goal in this respect. Various undertakings of the Council this year included the sponsering of a War Bond and Stamp drive, in which Butler accepted the challenge of Pompton High, entering into a friendly competition to help promote sales. Other activities directly connected with the war effort saw the Council conducting salvage campaigns to collect waste paper for the Government. These and other added wartime duties brought greater responsibility to student groups, such as the Home- room Representatives and the War Bond and Stamp representatives, who assumed the extra work gracefully and should be congratulated on doing so splendid a job. Mrs. Imandt, our adviser, has given us constant inspiration and many practical suggestions. Determined to keep up the normal activities as far as possible, the Council continued with the weekly Friday night dances, but these were discontinued temporarily because of repairs to the school building. Later in February these dances were resumed. Thus, in addition to its necessary wartime activities, this year's Council has tried to carry on at least a few of its usual social functions. OUR HOMEROOM REPS OUR TRAFFIC SQUAD Page Forty-six Our reSS The Maple Leaf, our monthly school newspaper, is a very popular publication. At the beginning of the year a contest was sponsered for 100 per cent subscription from every homeroom. It proved to be highly successful; about six hundred of the eight hundred and fifty students in school subscribed. The editor-in-chief, Jane VanLuvender, is ably supported by the various assistant editors in charge of make-up, advertising, circulation, and art. Efficient reporters and typists, who are all ambitious and willing to work, complete the staff. They are guided by Miss Benoy and Miss Bodain. The paper is entirely a student project, and anyone who has ability and interest in journalism is welcomed. Its greatest aim is the encouragement of individual ideas, and it gives the future journalist a sample of printer's ink. A system has been established whereby many of the students have one assigned job to do each issue; and, of course, current articles are distributed to the staff by the editor. A dead- line for all material is set; it is next typed and sent to the printer. The printer sends back proofs so that the editors can make up the dummy and all corrections can be completed. Once again the printer receives the material, and a few days later he returns to us the finished product, which is ready to be distributed to the homerooms via the circulation managers, Betty Mickens and Mary Wise. Each month the Maple Leaf features such favorite articles as Thru the Keyhole, sport and club reports, the fashion column, and personality reviews. At the end of the school year Maple Leaf pins are awarded to Seniors who have been on the staff for at least two years and have served as editor for one year. MEETING A DEADLINE Page Forty-seven EDITORIAL STAFF The Senior Class has again chosen a staff for the production of The Nugget. While this our yearbook is intended to represent the various activities of all Butler students, it has special signi- ficance for the graduate as a memento of school days which are now drawing to a close. We hope, however, that Underclassmen will feel that, they too, have an interest in all that it means and that they look forward to the time when the publication of the yearbook will bring a sense of responsibility and pleasure such as we have taken in preparing it this year. We have chosen to divide the book according to the seasons of the school year. In each division autumn, winter, and spring, we have tried to show in pictures and short accounts the activities which receive greatest emphasis in those seasons. There is, necessarily, something arbitrary in such a plan since a number of our projects continue throughout the entire year. The limitations of space prevent repetition of these in successive seasons and so miscellaneous pictures are grouped at the end. Those willing to serve have been nominated, and the staff has been duly elected by mem- bers of the Senior Class. It has been confronted by unusual problems this year, such as shortages of photographic supplies and of paper, increased cost of production, and shortages of labor. The time consumed in solving our problems have given us all some real inkling of how gravely all aspects of life today have been affected by prevailing conditions in the world. We hope that in spite of these difficulties we have been able to present a book which will be accept- able as a reminder of the year 1943-1944. THE STAFF Editor, Roger S.

During the Football season they made a colorful and vivacious combination that couldn't be beat! The enthus- iasm was contagious, the cheering section did some rousing work, and the team felt it worth while to bring in a victory. Mr. Cimmino, our director, and Winnie Lawton, our effective majorette, directed the Band this year. Many new tricky drills were offered, with the Twirlers giving an excellent exhibition. Miss Rablen could be proud of her cheer- leaders, who added acrobatics to their peppy formations. The new uniforms were most becoming to the girls, who did an admirable job at every game, rain or shine. READY FOR A GAME PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Page Forty-nine WE HAVE A TEAM! WE HAVE A YELL! WE HAVE A TEAM! THAT SURE PLAYED SWELL! COACH ANDY KLUSICK The Butler fans saw a very exciting season, despite the fact that the Bulldogs lost to their rival Pompton Lakes Thanks to the new coach, Andy Klusick, Tri-County was taken by beating our Morris County rivals, Boonton, in the annual Turkey day game, by the exciting score of 10-7. The fact that the Bulldogs tied Morristown 6-6 made them Morris County Co-Champions. Several of the fellows were chosen on all Morris County teams. Those mentioned were Captain Verduin Mahon, Allerman, Greene, Franco, and Cook. The type of football played this year at Butler varied from the double and single wing to the T formation. The season as a whole was considered a success, with the Bulldogs winning five, losing three, and tying one. Most of these games were exciting and close, espe- cially Morristown and Boonton, which the fans considered the best games of the season. The team faced one of their toughest schedules and were handicapped by losing two good men, White and Jecker, with injuries early in the season. Jim White suffered a serious fracture of the arm which hospitalized him for the entire season. The boys were well rewarded with their victories for the hard hours of practice.

Bumps and bruises are all part of the game. On rainy days the girls' interest turns to bad- minton, shuffleboard, darts, bowling, horse- shoes, quoits, and paddle tennis. As the weather becomes colder the classes enjoy basketball, volleyball, and team games. They manage to work in social dancing be- tween times. Basketball teams are formed in the homerooms, and they face each other in annual competitions. In order to meet the pres- ent war emergency, part of the class period is allocated to calisthenics, marching, and tum- bling. Later on our attention turns to softball, archery, and frequent hikes through the Butler woods. Everyone enjoys these jaunts, and the girls spend many afternoons in this way. HITTING THE BIRD SHUFFLEBOARD ON LAND AIM FOR THE BULL'S-EYE Page Fifty-two BALANCE COUNTS With the realization that many of the boys were going into the Army shortly, the gym classes took on an Army-like air. A great part of the periods was taken up in marching to many of the commands which will surely be given later. To develop a spirit of self-confidence in the students, Mr. Ellard often turned the job of marching the class over to one of its mem- bers. After a period of military work, some type of exercise, such as rope-climbing, push- ups, running, or chinning, was used. In the fall, and again in the spring, the boys ran the outdoor obstacle course. The practicability of this training was proved again and again by the decrease in time needed to navigate the course and the increase in the tempo and length of the exercises. Even in our preparations for Army life, though, Butler's boys still found time for a fast game of football, soccer, basketball, or baseball, which not only turned out physically superior boys, but also gave them a sense of fairness and self-control which will serve them not only as soldiers but as good citizens of tomorrow's United States of America. PUSH-UPS REACH THE CEILING KEEPING FIT Page Fifty-three r t)eLa tin THE DEBATING CLUB In Debating Club we learn how two sides of many important problems of today can be presented. Under the supervision of Miss Banta and Miss Mc- Naughton, debating offers many opportunities to develop quick and clear thinking as well as ease and poise in public speaking. Each fall contestants compete for membership in the Club. This is done by presenting a three minute speech on some current topic. Among the con- testants six are chosen from each class. Meetings are held once a month, except in January and February. The meetings are conducted according to parliamentary law. At the first of these we elect our officers—President, Vice-President, ana Secretary. The meetings thereafter are prepared by a program chairman appointed by the president. There are three interclass debates. The first is between Freshmen and Sophomores, the next between Juniors and Seniors. The champions are de- termined in a final debate between the winners who receive club awards. As social activities the debaters enjoy two parties, one at Christmas time and one in the spring. We hope that debating will grow in time until interscholastic debates are as great a source of interest as football games! JUNIORS versus SOPHOMORES (Winners to the left) Page Fifty-four Sf, am pS an cl (fronds We, the students of Butler High School, were not content with letting our older brothers, sisters, and parents be the only ones to take part in this war. In various ways we tried to do our part, but above all we accelerated our war bond sales. This year the sale of stamps and bonds was a project— sponsered by the Student Council and an appointed group of homeroom rep- resentatives. The sales were organized by home- 100ms, and some spirited competitions developed, each homeroom trying to outdo its neighbors. The year was divided into numerous bond campaigns, among which were the Mustang Drive, second half year, the Bill Butler Drive, which netted $8,763.65, the National Jeep Drive, the Triple Threat Campaign, and the monthly Schools at War drive. Sales were also stepped up by the fact that we were challenged by Pomp- ton Lakes High School to see who could sell the most War Bonds and Stamps through the school year. The Council accepted for our school and the students did not fail. At the half year mark, our totals were $46,394.90, which brought us well in the lead. Governmental recognition came to Butler High School when, on December 7, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., awarded a certificate to our school in recognition of our part in Bond and Stamp sales. Butler was also awarded the Schools at War flag for at least 90 per cent student par- ticipation in sales. We flew this flag under Old Glory, proudly showing what we had accomplished. An additional incentive to purchase stamps was given to us in the form of a beautiful mural, painted by Rose Swanson. This real work of art is to be found in our main hall. We feel that, all in all, Butler has played its part in fighting the war on this aspect of the home front. BILL BUTLER BUYING A P-51 Page Fifty-six w, USlC MIXED VOICES Music plays a leading role in the school life at Butler. Besides courses offered for those interested in music, Butler has an outstanding Glee Club. Sixteen of the most talented singers were chosen to compose a vocal ensemble. This group made several appearances during the year. A boys' chorus was also organized this year, and they performed for several assembly programs. Next year we hope that Butler will be represented by increased numbers in the All-State Concert. This year the concert was given at the Mosque The- atre, Newark, on November 21. To be a member of the All-State Chorus is the ambition of every member of school glee clubs, as the co-operative spirit maintained throughout the rehearsals makes for a splendid and beautiful concert. Miss English, the director, is keenly interested in the club progress. Two other musical organizations at Butler High School are the Symphony and Dance orchestras. These groups provided entertainment at the Senior Play, Commencement, Baccalaureate and special assemblies. Two new groups formed this year were the woodwind and brass quartets. This year, under Mr. Cimmino's direction, the band developed a swing orchestra made up of band members. This orchestra served as musical enter- tainment on various occasions throughout the year. There are eleven members and a vocalist, and at off times they served as the main attraction at public functions THE BAND THAT'S HEP! Page Fifty-seven ram a t IcA OUR DRAMATIC TALENT Three dramatic clubs in Butler High School afford their members an op- portunity to gain in self-assurance and poise, and to develop a spirit of co- operation and team work. People in a successful play cast have the same inter-dependence as members of an athletic team. Each group meets weekly and carries on a suitable program under the direction of the adviser and the program committee. As a climax for the year's work, each group is given an opportunity to put on a play for the school assembly. Miss Kauch's Freshmen were very active this year. In the autumn, the striving actors and actresses displayed promising talent while presenting pantomimes. Each week, a different group was appointed to take charge of the activities for the following week. Besides pantomimes, the Club presented short sketches. Plays were read, criticized, and acted out; humorous mono- logues proved to be very entertaining. Miss Perretti's Sophomores and our combined Junior and Senior's Club, under Miss Ketchum's supervision, have worked along on the same principles as the Freshman Club. The Juniors and Seniors emphasized special make-up effects. THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Page Fifty-eight d3adLetbal( THE VARSITY The beginning of the new year proved very exciting to the Bulldogs' basketball fans. The games they witnessed were usually decided by a matter of a few points with seconds to play. Coaching basketball at Butler for his second year, Mr. Ellard knew he faced a tough schedule. Only four varsity men of last year returned. One of them, Don Verduin, left for the Navy at the beginning of the season. The large gap in the squad was filled by last year's J. V.'s luckily for the Bulldogs. In ten games, played in a home and home series, only Hawthorne defeated the Bull- dogs twice. The season ended with five victories and five defeats. Top scoring honors went to Captain DeGraw with a total of seventy-nine points, followed by Allerman scoring seventy-four and Farrell forty-four points for the season. 14—Butler Hawthorne —21 28— Boonton —26 28— Passaic Valley —29 28— Alumni —30 20— Dover —16 30— Pompton Lakes —20 25— Dover —13 24— Pompton Lakes —25 24— Hawthorne —42 20— Boonton —30 28— Passaic Valley —25 ACTION AGAINST ALLERMAN BASKET FOR CHANDLER Page Fifty-nine 3 eruice an d Social (dfubs at SENIOR SERVICE The Senior Service Club is organized to supervise and help carry out the various projects of the Senior Class. The main qualification for membership is a genuine interest in class affairs. Its purpose being to co-operate with other staffs, the Club works closely with the yearbook and Student Council bodies. The executive committee this year includes Harry Avogardo, Helen De Graw, Dorothea Morse, and Elsie Piantanida. Although small in number, the Club has accomplished a great deal in a period made especially difficult because of war conditions. The Senior Service handled magazine and Christmas card campaigns in order to help raise funds to finance the yearbook. They also had charge of cap and gown measurements. Senior pictures, and Senior rings. Mildred Mende and Ada Smith were co-chairmen of the magazine campaign, while Helen De Graw had charge of the Christmas card sales. Katherine Manetas was ring chairman, Carol Ward was cap and gown chairman, and Ada Smith was chairman of scheduling Senior pictures, Members of the Service Club made reports of the results of their discussions and projects at each Senior meeting. Through the help and guidance of Miss Ketchum, our Senior adviser, the group has been one of the most efficient and active Senior organizations. GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves is a Club for younger girls—a branch of the Morris County Y. W. C. A. The Butler Club is made up of twenty-five Freshmen and Sophomores. Its advisers are Mrs. Bailey and Miss Rivollier. The purpose of the Club is to promote good fellowship among the girls who are initiated in an impressive candle light ceremony. This year the Club has tried to help the Red Cross in making quilted slippers for men in hospitals. There were also social outings, such as picnics and bowling parties. STAGE CREW This group was organized to learn mechanics of the school stage and co-operate with any organization needing help on the stage. Miss Boehm sponsors the group, which includes: Earl Whritenour—President; Telfer Preston—Vice-President; Charles Dilzer—Secretary; Everett Wetmore —Treasurer. Other members are: Sig Sandal, Robert Boden, Bill Webster, and Harry Van Luvender. VISUAL AID SERVICE CLUB To further interest and to give a deeper understanding of subjects taught, Butler High School has an active Visual Aid Service Club. Any teacher may make use of this service. The students that serve as members are capable of using all types of visual aid equipment. The school is well equipped with visual aids, such as a sound motion picture projector, a silent projector, stereopticon, opaque projector, film slide projector, and a micro projector. The club of boys, which is advised and instructed by Mr. Caruso, performs many useful functions. THE LIBRARY CLUB The girls in the Library Club at Butler are junior assistants of the librarian, Miss Curtis, and work under her direction. Among their duties are checking and filing cards, putting shelves in order, keeping the picture collection up-to-date, revising catalog cards, and various other tasks which give them real library training. Our library, of more than three thousand volumes, is kept up-to-date by the acquisition of approximately three hundred books a year. Suggestions from the students for procuring new books are always welcome. Moreover the Morris County Library has been very generous in its arrange- ment for making temporary loans of books that the library has been unable to secure. Especially this year both boys and girls have shown great interest in books concerning the war, postwar interests and the stories written about men and women in the news. FENCING CLUB The Fencing Club is one of the newly organized Junior and Senior boys' clubs in the school. Its purpose is to develop a knowledge of trained swordplay, mental and muscular poise, physical and mental co-ordination, a sense of fair play, and a feeling of self-confidence in personal combat. This year's Club members were extremely interested and willing to learn. The foil and the saber were the weapons given most attention, with the duelling sword studied as a sideline. The two clubs, the Wednesday Club and the Thursday Club, held matches with the members acting as combatants and judges while the adviser was referee. We hope that some time in the future our Fencing Club will be able to arrange outside matches with other schools. The Club is very fortunate in having Mr. Carpenter as its director as he was a member of the Layfayette College fencing team for four years and was elected its Captain in his senior year. He has carried on his interest in fencing circles since that time. Page Sixty Page Sixty-one THE U. S. SERVICE CLUB The U. S. Service Club consists of a small, hard-working group of Seniors who have at- tempted to keep in touch with all of our boys in the armed forces. Miss Belding supervises this important work. In the fall the Club posted the names on our Service Board—a list requiring constant revision in order to keep it up to date. At Christmas the Club sent cards to these Butler graduates. Nearly seven hundred such cards were produced at school through the combined efforts of the Art De- partment and the Print Shop. Letters in reply have since been received from all parts of the world. SURGICAL DRESSING Butler High School is proud of the splendid work being done by the girls in surgical dressing. This is a voluntary service urgently needed by the wounded of our armed forces. This year, there were five clubs made up of one hundred and sixteen girls, representing four classes. Meetings were held each week at the Kiel House, where the girls folded bandages under the supervision of Miss Curtis, Miss McNaughton, and Miss Struyk and Mrs. Bergen, who has charge of surgical dressing work in this area. The bandages, called sponges by the Red Cross, were made on the average of 3,600 a month. The Paterson chapter has again and again commended the girls on the excellent quality of their work which has been rated as 97 per cent perfect. The excellence of this standard has enabled the Paterson authorities to ship the bandages without rechecking them which is a great time saver. Ours is the only school in this vicinity engaged in this vital enterprise. The Red Cross provides the workers with head bands, and each girl is responsible for furnishing her own smock— the regulation dress. FIRE BRIGADE The Fire Brigade, composed of Junior and Senior boys, has been organized as a preventive measure. There boys help in conducting our periodic fire drills. The squad has sufficient equip- ment for an emergency. This has been distributed throughout the school at strategic points. The boys are assigned to various posts during every drill. The squad has become very efficient under Mr. Conklin's supervision. THE SEAMANSHIP CLUB Here is an active group of would-be mariners from the Junior and Senior homerooms which meets every Monday in the gymnasium or cafeteria. Both boys and girls learn simple piloting and navigation aids and the theories of handling small and large water-crafts. Some of the topics are anchoring, rules of the road, compass directions, the lead line, buoys, knots, line heaving, water safety, rowing, and sailing. One of the large club projects was the manufacture and rigging of a dummy land sailboat, equipped with rudder, stays, sails, and moving lines, to train safety for actual water sailing. Each member made a Relative Bearing Chart to accustom himself to nautical terms and directions. Bill VanWilpe was elected Chief Boatswain, with Lorraine Jackson, Bill Sando, Jim Walker, and Dick Pollard as his Boatswain's Mates in charge of crews. Howard Conklin was selected as Yoeman. The faculty adviser of this organization is Mr. Carpenter, who gets his experience as a Sea Scout leader and camp sailing instructor. FLY TYING CLUB Members of the Fly Tying Club meet in the Home Mechanics shop and learn to tie their own fishing flies. They make vises in which the hook is held while tying according to standard fly patterns. Later the members make spinners, and plugs and practise fly casting techniques on the ball field. Mr. Rickman is the adviser, and the officers elected in 1944 were: President. Arthur Worden; Vice-President, Gerard Holm; Secretary, Leonard Marion. The club is comprised of a dozen more interested members. ROD AND GUN CLUBS Rod and Gun clubs were limited this year to Freshmen and Sophomore boys who met in two separate groups under the direction of Mr. Conklin and Mr. Rickman. At the meetings reports on camping, trapping, fishing, and hunting were given. Topics for discussion were the care and repair of fishing equipment, its proper use, safety measures in fishing, hunting, and in the handling of a gun. Interesting movies were shown on these various topics and the boys were made acquainted with the game laws. In this connection discussions of true sportsmanship were held. CRAFT CLUB Handcraft, it seems, has always appealed to people. This year more than ever have we found this work popular. Wherever you go today you see gay novelty ornaments. In our small way we rivalled these ideas. Using yam, we wove belts and suspenders. With oilcloth we made ration book covers and Valentine pins. Pecans and walnuts we turned into dolls. Necklaces of corn, beads, and paper were popular. Our school colors were shown in miniature pennants of blue and gold and in pompons. Christmas corsages of greens, cones, red berries, and ribbons decorated our coats. Small red mittens became a sign of winter sports. Saint Patrick's Day saw us wearing the green in the latest hair bows. Easter and spring were indicated by colorful bouquets. Several weeks were devoted to the art of making leather belts. These were just a few of our creations. Many articles were made as a result of many people's ideas. The fun came in seeing how much and how well we could create with next to nothing. The work of Craft Club is under the com- petent direction of Mrs. Bailey. Page Sixty-two e . —senior THE MYSTERY MAKERS The annual Senior play was staged under the direction of Miss Louise Boehm, in April. The play this year was a mystery farce in three acts, entitled House of Horrors. The thrills of this production were intermingled with hearty laughter. Two ex-chorus girls inherit a mansion believed to be empty, only to discover that it is thoroughly inhabited by a half-witted youth of twenty, a French mystery girl, a handsome young man, a Hindu mystic, a tough show girl, a colored servant, a professional show man- ager, and a harsh middle-aged housekeeper for the throng. A ghost who comes to life in the end reveals that he and others have been fooling secret agents all along, and everything has a happy and hilarious ending.

The staff keeps its eye out for those literati who yearn for self-expression in poetry, stories, and essays. Various contributors disclose their most clandestine thoughts and talents in anything from prose to poetry. The Fledgling is the only B.H.S. publication which does not go through the hands of a professional printer. All the material has to be typed, illustrated, stenciled, and mimeographed by the twenty-four members of the staff. More harried than their predecessors, this year's staff, consisting of Juniors, Seniors, and Sophomores, had to jump new hurdles amid the hovering priorities and soaring prices of paper. All underwent the hair-raising sessions of handing in assignments, typing, and mimeographing the material in time for the dead- line. The editorial staff consists of Helen Yeisley, Lorraine Jackson, Marguerite Chadwick, and Nancy Bower. Thanks go to the three members of the faculty, who contributed generously of their time—to Miss Hawkins who counseled the actual layout and organiza- tion of the magazine; to Miss Boehm, the art adviser, and to Miss Rothwell, the production adviser. Whether philosophical or humorous, The Fledgling has proved itself worthy of resurrection and perpetuation as representative of a creative side of Butler High School. Jronor THE INTELLECTUALS The purpose of the Honor Society is to further the scholastic endeavors of the individuals students and to encourage them to receive higher education by making known to them where scholarships exist. This year a medal was awarded by the Honor Society to the Freshman and Sophomore student who had achieved the highest scholastic record in his class for the year. The members of the Society, who are chosen by the faculty committee, represent the highest group in the Junior and Senior classes. By being selected as members of this organization, they have also received recognition by the faculty and the student body as having excelled in leadership, scholarship, courage, and co-operative abilities, which are the standards set by the Society for their members. The Club is under the guidance of Mr. Curtiss. Following the selection of Junior members to the organization, the Honor Society held a banquet in March. At this banquet the new members were initiated, and this year's and next year's presidents spoke about the Society and its activities. Mr. Frederick Rickman, a faculty member, then gave a very enjoyable talk to the group about his travels around the world. The Senior members of the Honor Society are: Harold Devaney, James Farrell, Rosemary Sampson, Julius Carpignano, Kate Manetas, Elsie Piantianida, and Robert Wardlaw. Page Sixty-six Jk-IJ The Alpha Chapter of the boys Hi-Y of Butler High School is a branch oi the Morris County Y. M. C. A. This Club promotes good citizenship, high scholarship, and a spirit of sportsmanship. Members of this organization are invited to take part in all activities sponsored by the Morris County Y. M. C. A. Two initiations face each new member—one formal, the other informal. A C average and a unanimous vote by the older members of the Club are the requisites for eligibility. Maintenance of a C average is necessary throughout the year. Members are admitted twice a year —Seniors in the fall and Juniors in the spring. Regular meetings are held, and the boys enjoy basket- ball, volleyball, ping pong, and fencing. The Club is limited to twenty members. Its advisers are Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Ellard. OUR BRANCH OF THE Y d The Varsity B Club is a club consisting of the letter men from the football, and baseball teams. The faculty adviser is Mr. Klusick, the football coach. We meet the first period every Wednesday morning and discuss dif- ferent formations, roles, penalties, plays, and any other matters of interest to the boys. We have recently acquired films on the fundamentals of football, kicking, etc., which are going to be shown each Wednesday morning at the regular meeting of the Club. In the early spring we have initiations. Here the boys who have earned their letters in football, basketball, or baseball are given a supper and then initiated into the Club by the old members. OUR LETTER MEN Page Sixty-seven BASEBALL CANDIDATES The season oi 1944 offered many great problems for the oldest sport at Butler High. A muddy field delayed practice for two weeks. It was difficult for Mr. Whetham to obtain a schedule because many of our old rivals dropped baseball for the duration. At the time when this book goes to press the Bulldogs this year face Boonton as their main rival. The outcome of these games will decide whether or not Butler will have a standing in the Morris County Championship. Six regulars, together with eight other players who saw action last season, return this year. This will greatly help our cause, but we are handicapped by the loss of two regulars, Pat O'Neal and Bob Greene to the Navy. QJf Again the lack of competition slowed down our athletic schedule. Golf this year is being played on a non-schedule basis, but schools accept- ing Butler's challenge will be met by a veteran team. Robert Steller, Donald Hubner, and William Berry are provid- ing the nucleus for this year's matches. Under the direction of Mr. Caruso, the coach, students with a certain knowl- edge of and pride in the game, are try- ing out for open positions. Those who do not make the first team play for prac- tice weekly at the Passaic County Golf Course. IRON PRACTICE Page Sixty-eight 4 Wall, rou no In our long school day There is much we must do, So we'll cut a few classes And show scenes to you— What's this we hear? Hammers in B.H.S.? Could it be teachers impounding knowledge into the progressive minds of Butler's students? No, a glance upward will reveal carpenters perched on the skeleton of what once was the roof of the high school building which has been condemned to be flattened! The bell—and, as it's Friday, we're off to assembly. A magic show with ducks from his hat and other places, shadowgraphs, and mad laughter to the tuneful chatter cf a Punch and Judy show. Assembly is over, and now for a stroll. Approaching the physics lab. a volley of staccato sounds bombards our eardrums. Peeking through the window, we see our radio class hard at work to the tune of 16 w.p.m. Ah! the smell of food leads us, unrestrained, into the cafeteria kitchen, the workshop of our high school chef, who in spite of shortages, succeeds in supplying us with a variety of foods and desserts. Page Sixty-nine J) U J'i SJ„J Memories recall last Christmas when sott Christmas music drifted through our halls all day long. This was the spot where those sounds originated. On with our journey, to find the halls almost blocked with benches piled high on either side. It was a usual Friday morning mystery for a while, until curiosity led us to find the answer. The Butler Board of Education had been holding banquets on Thursday evenings for the boards of outlying communities. If it were Wednesday or Thursday we might, upon passing this spot, find Ping Pong Club enjoying a recrea- tional period by matching skills and co-ordination of eyes and hands in short matches. B.H.S. was warm in spite of the coal shortage this year. Yes, sir, and all because our janitorial staff was careful in rationing out black diamonds to their best advantage upon the hungry flames that heat our building. Page Seventy - 4 WA .Around ScU We hear a bell and the rush is on. In no time at all a long line has been formed and gradually the cafeteria fills. There are a few bottle-necks here. The lines are kept moving swiftly by competent cashiers, and little time is wasted. Lunch over, and, oh, yes, the chem. lab.! Whenever the halls are filled with some pungent odor or an ex- plosion occurs or someone is burned by acid when he forgets the lab. rules, the chem. lab. is responsible. Some of the particularly bright inventions that originate there startle even our chemistry teacher. We move on to the upper hall, and there is the usual busy hum emanating from the art room. There many pleasant memories linger, not only of art work but of Senior play practice. And when we walk in any part of the school we are greeted by murals and art paintings suggested by the fertile mind of our energetic art teacher, to whom no problem is too big for solution. It's a busy school, and one of the best, for, as we are walking towards the grammar school building, the pleas- ant aroma of food again assails us. Girls are preparing the way to a man's heart insuring a happy life under the supervision of masters in the art. Page Seventy-one Jt Watt -Around Career girls are busy typing letters for some Mr. Jones to send to some Mr. Smith of whom they have never heard, for the express purpose of increasing- their efficiency and learning what forms of letters Mr. Smith sends to his em- ployer, etc., etc. And, yes, there's the sewing room where girls are cnce and again destined to learn that ancient and evasive art of designing and sewing their own clothes. Some of those particularly smart outfits you see draped upon some of Butler's fair students were created in this very room. And as school is almost over for another day, we pass the Personnel Office, and here we still see our ad- visers ready and busy helping students plan their future lives, helping them on to college, helping them select courses of study and even helping them secure jobs. Like everything else at B.H.S. the office is making and molding our very futures and giving us a start on life's highway.

Pago One Hundred Two Ut Out” favi On these challenging days, requiring the utmost effort of every one of us to bring a complete victory to our country and a lasting peace to the world, the educational front—like the battle front and the production front— plays a vital role. The year book today has a new and pow- erful motif: to reflect the school in war time. Likewise, the year book today has a richer meaning than ever before: it is engraved with memories of friends and classmates who will be setting forth to all the fronts. VICTORY You rightfully expect a year book that will hold a proud place in the annals of your school, and for these reasons we dedicate our trained skills, our modern plant, and our experienced services to the fulfillment of your most discriminat- ing requirements.
