Your nation at war! Your imme- diate future uncertain! What are YOU going to do about it? Members of the Class of l943 are to be congratulated for past accomplishments, among them the publication of this yearbook in these difficult times. Five members of this class have shown already what they are doing as they have speeded their program and graduated in lanuary, earning State Re- gents Diplomas. Four of the five are now in the armed service of their country, the fifth, valedictorian, is now attending col- lege. These boys l sincerely commend. At this time l urge you people to hold to that which you have. You are citizens of a Christian nation With Christian ideals. Whether you be in the home, in the factory: on the sea, in the air, or on the land, remember the teachings of your home, church, and school, and govern yourselves that each of the above named institutions may be proud to point you out as one of its members.

EEEEEE CLASS POEM When Commencement Day is approaching And school days are closing at last, Then we turn to serious thinking, Though recalling the fun of the past. The times that we spent were carefree - - Life with a laugh and a grin, And only the fun was outstanding, All sorrows were hidden within. Together we stand at lifels threshhold, And plan with the aid of our God, To proceed through all of life's pathways Over which former classes have trod. NAVY NAVY NAVY ARMY CORPS NAVY NAVY NAVY ARMY NAVY NAVY NAVY ARMY NAVY NAVY NAVY NAVY NAVY -HERMA HESSE 22l SENioR PLAY YOUTH TAKES OVER Youth Takes Over by Finch and Smith - - a frolicsome humorous comedy, was presented as this year's Senior Play. The scene takes place in the principals office of George Washington High School. Albert Williams, a high spirited, l6-year-old boy, is at the principals desk, running a carnival, for the purpose of raising money for the League for Young Citizens. Much of the success of the play was due to the able direction of Mrs. Elvira D. Pulver, to Whom the cast and Senior Class express their sincere appreciation. Large audiences at both evening and afternoon performances helped make this play one of the most outstanding successes in several years.

We cannot deny that at times we have fallen short of perfection in the eyes of the faculty, but it was only because our newly acquired halos slipped a little. That we are an exceptional class cannot be denied when one looks at the brilliant record we have set for the underclassmen. As Freshmen we quickly dispensed with the business at hand, that of electing officers. Peter Gross became our President, lean Becker our vice- president, lohn Harder our secretary, and Thomas Dunn our treasurer. We early developed an interest in the welfare of others,and showed it by sponsoring the Children's Cru- sade for Children to aid children in war-torn countries. Our Sophomore year saw us becoming organized as a class. Under the guidance of Mr. Kufs We elected the following officers: President, Robert Radley, Vice President, Iohn Harder: Secretary, lean Becker, and Treasurer, Barbara Nordman. These officers, with the exception of lohn Harder, who was replaced by Thomas Dunn, served us faithfully through the rest of our high school careers. At the beginning of the year we held our first annual football dance, an event that was destined to become a tradition in C.H.S. The upperclassmen did their best to try to discover our new class colors, but until Arbor Day, when we brought forth our banner of Navy Blue and Gold, our secret had not been revealed. As luniors we started the school year with our second annual football dance. Once again, we set a precedent by being the first class to donate money to the U. S. Treasury. Spring brought us the responsibility of making Arbor Day and the Iunior Prom memorable occasions for the class of '4Z. Much to the regret of the class, Mr. Kufs, our friend and adviser, left us, but we were fortunate in securing Miss Potter to guide us through our last year. We started our Senior year with a bang, when, with the largest cast in the history of the school, we presented the Senior play, Youth Takes Over . It was in this year that we really distinguished our- selves as patriotic Americans. In addition to the regular number of students who come and go, we point with pride to our service flag containing 19 stars. In lanuary We graduated five of our boys: Peter' Gross, now at R.P.I.p George Wilbur, Lloyd Goodrich, Wright Garvey, and William Van Pelt, all in the U. S. Navy: and gained one, Boy Strever, through the new speeded-up program. We are equally proud of our former classmates who previously responded to the call to the colors. The U. S., Army, claims Robert DeVane, Arthur Westover, Bruce Maxwell and Fred Hoffman. Charles Every is in the U. S. Marine Corps. With the U. S. Navy are William Calhoun, Richard Lobdell, Fred Coz- zolino, Donald Bartow, Harold Golden, Iohn Lang, Spencer Moccio, Samuel Kaplan and Theodore Owen. Now with our goal, graduation, in sight, We are filled with gratitude for the school that has so fully prepared us to take our places in this uncertain world.

CLASS OF 1943. Charley Macarthy S Mortimer Snurd , E Witnesses: C.H.S., 1943 T271 CLASS PRoPHEcY One night as Miss Potter lay sleeping, she had an uncanny dream, cr dream that was so revealing it was almost as if it were life itself. This dream told all about the members of the class of 1943! Miss Potter saw Virginia Allen as the wardrobe mistress of the Rockettes in which Ruth Goodermote, Betty Anderson, and Bea Martin were dancing - - - having learned their steps from the Senior Play. jean Stickles had given up collecting antique buttons long enough to sew some on her husband's shirt. Mary Diskin had stopped her duties as a nurse to take the part of Dr. Kildare's assistant in the movies. Herma Hesse, much to no one's surpise, was married to the Lone Ranger just to be near Silver, her favorite horse. john Hoffman, who was once so puzzled about the magic box of a magician, had built a box similar, to it, and had never been heard of since. Bill Hoffman, his twin brother, was the proud father of triplets and was going through agony trying to tell them apart. ' Marian Spath had been elected the life-time president of that national correspondence school, teaching The Art of Flirtation and Plattery in Ten Easy Lessons ! Her executive vice president was Lloyd Goodrich, the Romeo of Red Bock. james Boland, who had become a clergyman, was seen in darkest Africa teaching savages how to save their souls so they too would be Happy after death. john Mesick was with him selling insurance so their dependents would be happy too. Betty Gaylord was still BUSSELLing around, having long since been married UP NORTH. Roger Van Deusen was still looking for the Lost Chord: and the moment that jerry Cozzolino and Willard Doyle, who were now the heads of the F.B.l. were in the dream, they were chasing a criminal charged with corking crooked bottles. Inspectors Cozzolino and Doyle were known as the super-sleuths of all time. Bruce Maxwell had been given recognition for the invention of a promising parachute for the air corps. Nellie Myers, who was so successful in school, came back to teach the first grade. Carlo Zito astounded the world with his new chemical theory of how to keep icebergs from melting. Mr. Zito had just returned from a trip to the Arctic regions. His ship had been piloted by that master of the seas, Bill Calhoun. The dream shifted, and Molly Morrison's alluring smile was seen in the toothpaste advertise- ments. jean Becker, HN., was causing rapid palpitation of the pericardia of all patients of Dr. Boy Strever's sanitarium. Bob Radley was still being beseiged with offers from Charles Atlas, but Bob was too busy answering the calls of his ambulance business. jack Navarra and his drums were drawing countless numbers of admirers at the Hollywood Hep- cat Haven. Louise Strever was BLASSting the unfairness of separation caused by war. Donald Mc- lntyre and Bill Colville had gained fame in the educational world with their new best seller, Ways and Means of Combating Student Absenteeismn. Thomas Dunn, the head of the highway department, was his usual cheerful self, but was especially gleeful over the prospects of a new automatic post-hole digger. Lillian Francis' theme song was still Georg A On My Mind . Dorothy Iacobia and Dorothy Coons, two well known young business wo- men, had started the Successful School for Smiling Secretaries . Eleanor Kittle and Dorothy Sheldon had joined the Ink Spots, and could be heard on the newest recordings. jack Seaman was thechief photographer for George Wenk's magazine The Spectator . Madeline Koller, who had liked commuting to school on the train so well, had become the first woman conductor, and cheered cheerless Chatham commuters. Betty Lobdell was the successor to Oveta f28l CAVALCADE Culp Hobby as leader of the W.A.A.C.S. Her brother, Richard Lobdell, liked the Navy so well he had made it his lifetime career. . Marie Kinne was seen in the dream being chased by leading cosmeticans who wanted to know the magic formula of her beautiful complexion. Camilla Moccio was pictured in her flower garden cul- tivating camillas for correct corsages. Bill Van Pelt was SALLYing along headed for the WOODS. Chief Petty Officer Garvey was running a home for aged sailors, and Cora Wieland was a torch singer for Bob DeVane's blues band. Bob still wore his Purple Heart medal on his tux. Incidentally Cora was winning acclaim with her especially mellow rendition of My Buddy . Della Verenazi was concocting cunning coffieurs for Chatharn's club women. Living up to her name, Doris Tholke was the Doris Blake of the Chatham newspaper, while her classmate, Barbara Nordman, who was also literary minded, took time out from her job at General Electric to send in an occasional contribution to the Women's Day . And then Russ Northrup came into the picture. BET HE is having a GAY time LORDing over the town of Chatham as mayor. Bill Vtfhiteman was seen on his farm singing Ieanie With the Dark Brown Hair . Since Irene Rich had finally gained weight, Violet Welch had taken her place with the grape-juice company: and nurses May Stone and Shirley Westover, swished through Miss Potter's dream waving clinical thermometers. Thus the dream slowly faded away, and Miss Potter slept on - - content that the class of 1943 had found its place in the world. H C.H.S., 1943 E291 I Assn f. 3 -4 A S ,.
