CLASS HISTORY In September, 1938, a group of reluctant little freshfboys and freshfgirls, destined to become the Class of 1912, entered Columbus School. Looking back, we find that they elected C. P. Perkins, president, Ethel Kaskiw, vicefpresident, Andy Shymanski, treasurer, and Rose Marciniak, secretary. In that first year, we were saddened by the death of two of our members, Joseph Fedak and Erhardt Anderson. Joseph and Erhardt were active and popular students, and their memory will always remain in the minds and hearts of -their classmates. The next year, we finally entered the portals of C. H. S. Now we were sophomores! No longer did we have to endure the snubs of the 'upper classmen whose delight it is to ignore all insignificant freshmen. The oflicers of the class that year were William Suto, president, Helen Boraczewski, vicefpresident, Eleanor Galbraith, secretary, Ernest Brechka, treasurer. The next year, under the able leadership of john Kolibas, we became, after the seniors, quite the most important unit in the school! The prom, of course, was the outstanding social event of the year. 2 Time marched on, and almost before we real' ized it, came our senior year. This year, the girls took over and elected Rita Levy, president, John 'Timko was chosen vicefpresident, Shirley Donof van, secretary, and C. P. Perkins, treasurer. What a busy year it has been, crammed full of work and play! In order to finance the senior trip, we sold Christmas cards, ran a movie, and presented a play, Cross MypHeart. Wallace Durst won first prize in an essay conf test sponsored by the Lions Club of Carteret on the topic, George Washington. Lillian Koblentz and Ethel Hudak shared second place. Gerald Mausner won the contest sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Star Landing Post with his essay, Unity for Victory. Marie Med' wick won a scholarship to Wood Secretarial School, several working scholarships at Rider College will be awarded. Penn, Bucknell, Temple, William and Mary, and Fordham have offered scholarships to John Timko, John Ginda, John Pelc and Nicholas Semak. This year, many of our alumni left to join the service. Carteret High School is proud of these boys and also of Mr. Sidun, the first member of our faculty to be called to the colors. The Class of 1942 contributed much to the athletic fame of C. H. S. In 1940, the football team won eight games, and tied one. In 1941 they won all games but one. Both years, they added trophies to our already crowded trophy case. In basketball, too, an excellent record was made. Vvfinning all games but' two, the team proved itself one of the best that C. H. S. has ever had. We shall always remember with a smile the first days spent in Columbus School, the day we finally entered C. H. S., the victories won on the gridiron, the court, and the diamond, and all the pleasures of the four years spent working and playing in C. H. S. We take our leave ref gretfully, hoping that the faculty of C. H. S. will always have a place in their hearts for the Class of 1942. William Dowdell '42
