Davison and Mr. Roy S. Claycomb in appreciation of all that they have done for the school throughout their long and faithful association with it. We here at Carteret have all learned to honor and cherish them for their help to us as individuals. The school suffered a great loss during the winter when Miss Davison left. For fifteen years she had worked quietly and effectively, accomplishing many things in the front oifice, and too often some of us were wont to take her for granted. Even though this was sometimes the case, there was never any doubt of the place that she held in our hearts. The last few months have shown us how we really have missed her, with the result that we find ourselves eagerly looking forward to her next visit. When one thinks of Carteret he cannot help thinking of Mr. Claycomb, for the two are that closely connected. just recently he celebrated his twenty-fifth anniversary as a member of the faculty at a banquet given in his honor. Many of his old pupils returned to pay him their respects, and Mr. Claycomb points with pride to the fact that their sons are now in the school. Through good- times and bad he has acted as a stabilizer and has always born more than his share of the load. In closing, let us wish to these two all possible happiness in the years to come. They stand as a symbol of what Carteret has meant in the past and will mean in the future, and this is the way we shall always think of them. MISS DOROTHY l. DAVISON Ofs- .J 195 MR. ROY S.

After playing a vital part on our football team, he immediately went out for the hockey squad. The Hrst two games played were against some of his Summit friends, but he helped the Carteret team to a sparkling victory. This spring he has been playing a major part in defending the school's honor on the tennis court. Because of a physical disability Roland will not be able to go to Annapolis, but it is certain that he will succeed in any field in which he enters.

As a talker, Chet is one of the best in the school, but as a complainer I know of no one who can top him. If it isn't about one thing, it's about another. The best way to attract his attention from his work is to talk about horses. Year in and year out he prac- tically lives with them. If he doesn't receive an appointment for West Point, Chet will enter V.M.I. in October, and will probably be seen, in thirty years, as a general.

In the Morristown Football game he showed, by making several spectacular runs, that Carteret would not give up until the last whistle was blown. As a basketball player he was one of the leading scorers of the year. Bill is not only known for being an athlete but also for being quite a ladies' man. Bill will attend Colgate.

Ever since he began at Carteret in 1939, he has made a name for himself both for being.a good student and for his tall tales. His frequent friendly arguments with Chester provide the class with much amuse- ment. Upon hearing that Swarthmore College was co-ed, Swissy,' decided that that was the place for him.

He has distinguished himself as a crafty football and basket- ball player. One of his favorite sports is casting at the teachers subtle remarks that never fail to give all concerned a chuckle. Upon graduation, Bon is expected to join the air corps, in which service he will undoubtedly be a great asset to our country. Football '4lg Basketball '41-'42g Baseball '42. DOUGLAS GIBB Doug has been the able business manager of this year book and it has been largely due to his efforts that we have been able to raise the money for its publication. He is best known for his ability to tip back in a chair farther than anyone else without falling over. Doug has planned to attend the Uni- versity of Virginia in October. There it is expected that he will enjoy himself a great deal. Business Manager of Hilltopper 429 Chairman Dance Com- mittee '41-'42. Page 12 ,Q KVKVA fi: iiiii -gi '5 i JAMES E. LACKEY III. jim has been one of Carterefs leading productive- dramatic students. He has to his credit four mus- icals, two of which have been produced in Carteret,s own gym. Not only is he the scenery designer, prop- erty manager, and everything else but also a con- cert pianist. Although the theatre is his main in- terest, he does indulge in photography. Many of the pictures within these covers have been taken by him. In order to further his dramatic abilities, jim has decided to study at Yale University. We of the senior class wish him the best of luck. Hilltopper Staff '42g Dramatic Club '40, '41, '42. ROBERT MERRIAM Bob has been with us only since the junior year, but his fine work on the football and basketball teams has made us realize his abilities. Although Bob usually has little to say, we feel sure that his record at Carteret will enable him to make a good showing at Rutgers.

Ever since he has been here, he has made a fine record for himself. Not only has he excelled in his studies but also in the field of athletics. He has been, for the last couple of years, one of the star players on the football, hockey, and baseball teams. If anyone wants a speech made in assembly they invariably ask Brad for they know that he is capable of doing a good job. He has always wanted to go to Princeton to college and it looks now as if his wish will come true, but I am afraid that he will have to break down and get a crew cut like everyone else.

Van is one of those fellows who came to Carteret in an early grade and who have remained until their graduation. As President he has ably conducted the Senior Class and has, as captain, encouraged the present tennis team to play hard and to win. It is expected that Van, too, will honor Swarthmore Col- lege with his presence. Student Council '41-'42, Tennis Captain '429 Class President '41-,42. Page 14 E DONALD WALSH Although Don came to us with quite an athletic reputation, he never found the opportunity of show- ing his prowess. He was occupied driving one of the school buses during the afternoon when practice was taking place and therefore could not take part in the program. In Don is embodied all the humor of the Irish, and it is seldom that one catches him in a seri- ous mood. He is planning to attend The University of Scranton. Basketball '41-'42, is-2- RODMAN XVILLIAMS Rod came to Carteret in 1937 and although he is one of the quieter members of our class we all respect his opinion and it is largely through his efforts as editor-in-chief that we have been able to produce this yearbook. Rod will attend Yale and we are su-re his scholastic record will be a credit to that college. Tennis '42g Dramatic Club- '37, '38, '39, '40, '4lg Editor of Hilltoppcr '42. Page li ROBERT WISHNER All true Carteret basketball fans were certainly glad that Bob decided to take a P.G. this year, for he was captain and main stay of our highly success- ful squad. Perhaps his greatest virtue is his even temperedness, and this has often come in very handy for him. Bob is not decided whether to go to college or get a job next year, but we are sure that he will make out well in either field. Basketball '4034 l , '41-'42. Page 16 ,-.Y The Spirit of '42 BY JAMES E. LACKEY, III A Salute to the Senior Class of '42 and to the Future Classes You better wake up, On your toes, and start to sing, Come on, join our line. You better wake up, Start to shout with joy and sing, Spirits are sky high. Out to win, We'll take the humps right on the chin. Hearts are high, For there are just twelve reasons why we say- We're going to stop everything, Drop everything, For this a new day. Shout, shout, yell it aloud, We're a people mighty proud, We're out to stop this blundering, Start things thundering, For this a new day. The stars and stripes still shine, And our thoughts are clear in mind. Thei-e's your boy and there's my boy, Bet your life they're not afraid, To present their young dreams, As they march on, on, parade. You better wake up, On your toes and start to sing, Come on, join our line. Look up, for here they go, Twelve swell kids, Facing the foe. And they know, Just what to do, to this thing we call foe-- We're going to stop everything, Drop everything, For this a new day. Hi-yip-py, Hoo-ray, There's a new gang on the way. We're going to rise up and shine, Wise up and shine, For this our new day. We'll right every wrong, With the spirit of our song. It's your country and my country, And we're all mighty proud, That we have the free chance To shout and say it aloud. We're going to stop this blundering, Start things thundering, For this a great day, Nineteen Forty-Two, To-day.

I Page 20 JU 1012 This year the boys of the Junior School showed an increased interest in the various school projects in which they took part. From all reports heard, they particularly enjoyed the many inter- esting assemblies presented to them by fellow students and by guests of the school. During the fall term they formed the chorus in the annual Christmas pageant presented in the gym- nasium in conjunction with the boys of the Senior School who played the solo parts. The younger fellows also presented, later in the year, to the entire school body a play entitled The Court- ship of Miles Standish. The Fourth and Fifth Grades had a new teacher, Mrs. Hobbs, who conducted many of the above mentioned activities and who added many new features to the general course of study. A lit- erature contest was conducted among the students of the Sixth, Fifth, and Fourth Grades in order to see who could read the most and the best books of fiction and non-fiction, selected from a list prepared by Mrs. Hobbs for this contest. At the time of writing the winner had not as yet been announced. In addition to the literature contest, an increased intermural program was carried out by Mr. Harvey Gibson, physical director of the Junior School, in which the contestants were divided into two groups, the red team and the blue team. The winners in the football contest were awarded prizes at the annual Carteret Father and Son Din- ner, held in December. The program was continued into the basketball season under the same system in which the winning team received new laurels. From the reports of the success of this program, it SCHOOL OTES looks as if it will be continued from year to year as a feature of the sports department of the junior School. In addition, many new pieces of play equipment were presented to thi: young folk. When the annual carnival was held in October the lower school was quick to re- spond to the call of the P.T.A. for articles to sell at the various booths at the fair. The Ifirst Grade made beautiful hammocks that were woven by the boys and girlsg the other classes made and donated thread holders, kitchen charts, and many other articles. All proceeds were turned over to the carnival committee. The shop program was open to an in- creased number of students this year. All of those who took part and those who had the advantage of using the new machines felt an increased pride and delight in seeing their work turned out to perfection, Miss Utt, art director, instructed the boys how to draw the latest aeroplanes used in our every day life and in our war effort. This was a very popular course. Trips, this year, were taken to many points of interest in this area. Washingtonys Head- quarters at Morristown and The Newark News Building in Newark proved to be the most interesting of the lot. The young children also toured the campus in search of many objects that they were studying. The junior School closed as usual on june Sth. with its customary closing exercises. Parents and friends attended as the pupils from the Sixth Grade were graduated to the upper school. W. G.

CARTERET SCI-ICOL GRAPHIC The Carteret Graphic, in its second year of publication, showed vast improvement over all of the school's previous newspaper work. For the first time all the work was done by the boys, and the faculty supervision was reduced to .1 minimum. There was also a change in the external workings of the paper. I.ast year it was printed in the form of a tabloid and featured three complete pages of pictures. At the first meeting of the staff in the fall a vote was taken, and it was decided to adopt a more conservative form of journal. As a result, there was more room for articles and our boys were encouraged to write more. Our Hrst issue came out just before Christmas, and was a big success. Prominent among the features were those about the football team, ,lim I.acKey's concert, and the Father and Son Dinner. This edition's being well received encouraged the editorial staff and gave it an added incentive to do even better: The excellent results obtained were, in a large part, due to the fine job turned in by Robert Heywood as editor-in-chief. He kept the rest of his colleagues working at top speed and at the same time wrote some very good editorials. We all feel that, now the paper is firmly on its feet, the years to come will see it improve greatly and earn a name for itself among other student publications. STUDENT COUNCIL This year, as last, the Student Council held its meetings under the supervision of Ur. Hinton and Mr. Wilkie. The members were: Bruce Beattie, lform 13 Xwilliain Saupe, liorm 11g W'alter Robbins, Form 111g lidwin Tuttle, Form IVQ Robert Heywood, lforin Vg Arnold Van Pelt, Form Vlg and Alfred Custer, president. The 1941-1942 school year was the second year that the present Student Council has been operating in order to promote better relations between the student body and the faculty. The ground work had been laid by the former Student Council so this year the boys got right to work. Many important problems were settled at the meet- ings which were held once a week. The problems discussed were reported to eaeh home room by the representative elected by the classes themselves. Some of the problems settled were: new study hall regulations, ice skating at Rock Spring Country Club, the establishment of a pound for lost articles, the purchase of towels, the pledge of allegiance to the flag, the purchase of school sweaters. and a book outlined which would contain general school rules and information. The Student Council expects to operate next year again and hopes to serve the school by creating a better understanding between the faculty and the student body. .NV R J Fd JP FJ? ,au Seated, left to right: Robert Heywood, Alfred Cus- jg' ter, Arnold Van Pell.

DRAMATICS The Carteret School Dramatic and Glee Club in collaboration with Miss Beardis School was very successful in its presenta- tion of Gilbert and Sullivan's English oper- etta nlolanthef' The producing and directing of this spec- tacular musical was done by Mr. Norman Grayson and Miss Eleanor Van Etten. On March 7, 1942 the Carteret auditor- ium was jammed to capacity, and when the curtain on the last encore fell, everyone was delighted by the fine acting given by the fellows and girls. is MUSICALE AMERICAN This vear the Senior Class sponsored two concerts for the Carteret Athletic Fund.

We don't claim that this has been the best book put out but we do claim that we have worked hard to gather material that would interest everyone and that would give a clear concise picture of the year passed. The staff should be congratulated not only for cooperating whole heartedly with each other but also for giving their time to write the articles. We wish, in addition, to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Wilkie for always being on hand to advise us. STAN: lfllzfm' .. RODMAN D.

FOOTB LL The Carteret football team made its first season under Coach John Burke a suc- cessful one by winning three out of Hve games. A squad of about twenty reported for practice the first day, and though many of the boys were inexperienced, they all showed the ability to learn fast. C teret lost it's initial game to an experienced Montclair Academy team, but came . . d ar back to trim Rutgers Prep, 12-0. This latter contest was featured by particularly goo line play by the victors. The next week our boys traveled to Morristown School and lost a very close game 21-13. We almost pulled the struggle out of the Hre in the last quarter with two touchdowns, but a short- age of time and too capable an opponent proved too much for us. The team then finished the season in a blaze of glory with two straight victories. Led by Bo Farmer and Jim Dowd, we beat our big rival, Pingry, 13-0. This was the high point of our season as we played a fast, 1 aggressive game which kept the opposition back on its heels from the opening whistle. A few days later we closed the fall campaign by overpowering an injury-ridden Newman School club, 20-0. Carteret grabbed a big lead in the first period and coasted from then on. The final score Came on a 73 yard sprint by Johnny Burke. This was truly a sparkling climax to a fine season. FOOTBALL SCORES Montclair 27 ,.

The school has gained the use of two of the Rock Spring Country Club courts and thus pro- vides the boys with a handy place to play. Mr. Wilkie, who was himself once an excel- lent player, will coach the team that is captained by Arnold Van Pelt. Other members of the squad include: Alfred Saupe, Bob Van Harlingen, Rod Williams, Wallace Boyce, Bill Cass, Dick Burke, King Archdeacon, Dan Shields, Ted Villanueva, and Joe Manda. Plans have been made to play an extensive schedule with such teams as Pingry School, Montclair Academy, Newark Academy, and Blair Academy. We are confident that the team will show itself to good advantage and set a good example for those who follow after them.

HOCKEY The hockey team, tnough handicapped by the lack of permanent ice, turned in a very creditable record of three victories in Eve starts. Paced by excellent goal-tending by Jack Frenaye, we opened the season with successive shut-outs over Summit High School, 2-0, and Newark Academy, 4-O. The team then traveled down to Princeton where it was trimmed by Morristown School 6-1. A short while later we took the measure of Montclair Academy by the score of 4-2. The final contest took us to the Brooklyn Ice Palace to meet St. Francis Prep. After a hard-fought struggle we emerged on the short end of a 8-3 count. Both losses were due as much to a lack of man-power as to lack of ability. Bob Ayres was outstanding at all times and did most of the team's scoring. Page 3 5 dmv ,.,,.V e f 'Qs it Q 5, ,X I ,,.. JM' Page 36 V-we SENIOR SCHGGL As the 1941-1942 Carteret season opened little did anyone suspect that the nine months to follow would be the most active in Cfarteret's long history. Under the school's new coach, John Burke, the football team had a rather successful season. Wliile the boys were fighting it out on the gridiron, the P.T.A. was busy arranging for the annual carnival. This year it was held in the gymnasium, with a big dance following in the evening. About a month later the first Musical Americana Concert was held by the Senior Class, the featured soloist being our own -lim LacKey at the piano. ,lim also gave a very successful party afterwards. Christmas vacation was to arrive shortly, but be- fore it did several important events took place. The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Forms traveled to New York on order to see the production of Mzlcllrffa star- ring Maurice Fvans. Following quickly was the annual Father and Son Dinner which is held to honor the football teams and to hear reports from the vari- ous school projects. Before the students left they were given a copy of the Graphic, the school news- paper, which appeared this year for the first time with Bud Heywood as editor-in-chief. The second dance of the year was held on the eve of vacation. From all reports the vacation was a great success for all involved. Upon our return the basketball team started its season with four regulars back on the squad. Exams soon began to dampen the spirits of the boys but after they were over, life returned to the building and the basketball team became the talk of the school. They won 15 games while dropping only 2. We were further honored to have John Burke, son of the team's coach, and Bill Broas placed on the all-state team. A dinner was held in order to celebrate the hockey and basketball seasons and letters were awarded in both sports. The hockey team, al- though handicapped by lack of man-power and prac- ticing opportunities, made a creditable record. About this time a group attended the opera at the Metro- politan. Three students also went into radio station XV.O.V. in New York to report on the school orches- tra popularity poll. GTES As spring vacation approached, students began to notice a troup of girls who appeared at school once a week. Soon word was passed around that they were from Miss Beard's School and had come up to rehearse for the combined Dramatic Club presenta- tion of Cvilbert and Sullivan's Hlolanthei' under the direction of Miss Eleanor Van Etten and Mr. Gray- son of our music department. The largest crowd in the history of the school attended the function. Bud Coleman held open-house afterwards. Upon the return from spring vacation with the war on everyone's mind, Carteret decided to do its part. An assembly was devoted to the sale of bonds and stamps every Thursday with students presenting an appropriate program each time. In addition many other very interesting assemblies were presented throughout the year. The Second Musical Americana Concert, sponsored again by the Senior Class, was held about the middle of April with Jim LacKey again as featured soloist. ,lim held open-house later in the evening. The baseball season was featured by being .the first sport that a Carteret team had played on the new field behind the building. On commencement eve the junior Class gave a dance on behalf of the departing Seniors. School this year closed with commencement on June llth. after a very successful year. Now let us complete these Senior School Notes with- a few additions. After an exchange of teas, Carteret and Miss Beard's became very well acquaint- ed, or at least it looked that way at all the functions held both at Carteret and Beard's, as well as outside. Perhaps you might ask Brad Palmer about that. W'e could mention m'any more cases but we left that up to the Graphic's,' columnist, Al Saupe. With a year as successful as the one just passed. the whole student body hopes that next year may be as great in the history of Carteret as this one. W. Cv. C.

HINTON HEADMASTE 22, X WThe Hilltoppern Staff Carteret School for Boys West Orange, New Jersey Dear Boys: You of the class of 1942 are to be commended for your enterprise in publishing a successful Year Book. The problems you have solved have been more difficult than those that have faced previous Senior classes for many years. Nothing but your steadfast determination X to succeed in spite of many discouragements has enabled 3 you to complete the task you have undertaken. K., As you leave Carteret School, you will enter N y various colleges and training schools. You will continue 3 your preparation so that you can cooperate still more 3 effectively with your fellows in helping to solve the vastly greater problems you will face during the years of reconstruction that lie ahead. Be assured, however, that the basic qualities of character will remain unchanged. The same strong courage and deep devotion to duty and responsibility that you have displayed in High School will apply as soundly tomorrow as they have today. If you will examine your past successes and Q failures periodically, you will discover ways and means 1 of reducing your future failures and increasing your F J future successes. I am sure that you have found your experiences in preparing and publishing the Year Book both interest- ing and satisfying. On behalf of the school, I want to express my appreciation to you for your record of achievement and wish you the courage and power that you will need as you struggle with the problems you will face in college and in our national and international relations.
