J ack Schrumpf Jack College All honor Io him who shall win the prize. Versatile is the word for Jark. There is hardly anything in Chatham High for which he has not shown ability. He has starred in all sports in his sophomore, junior. and senior years. He displayed executive ability when serving as president of the junior class, vice-president of the senior class, and in his senior year president of the Pyramus Hi-Y. and member of the Chatter Board. His trenchant wit and genial personality will be missed. Charles Leland Konecke Lee Colgate And what he greatly th-ought he nobly dared. Charles Leland Konecke Lee for short' has been kept quite busy by his loving classmates, because he has been elected President, vice-president, and secretary of his class on different or-easions. He was the able financier who handled the senior picture money. Besides, he has served on the baseball and basketball teams and has belonged to the B. A. A. In outdoor life, Lee enjoys most of all his hunting and fishing. but he also likes to fish and hunt in addition. In the future, his many admirers will do well to locate him in the University of Colgate. Maria Jean Messner Buddie Undecided Queen rose! of the rvosebud garden of girls. Buddie is quite a girl: you see, she's another one of our prize cheerleaders. of whom we are so proud. Then. too. she's an alto in the Glee Club, a forward in bas- ketball. and a member of the Chatter Board. Buddie has also been a class officer, secretary-treasurer. both as freshman and as a senior. One more thing, she helped to pick out the rings! L. Victoria Albright Vic Junior College She doeth little kindnesscs Which most leave undone. Beautiful clothes and lovely hair are part of Vir's makeup. She is always ready to laugh at a good joke and is forever ready to appreciate a clever wittioism. Vie is an ardent sports fan and likes to collect stamps. The G. A. A. has witness of her love of sport, as Vicky is a member. E41 Rebecca Frances Allen Becky Trenton State Teachers' College Joy rises in me like a sum'me1 s morn. Everyone knows and likes Becky because she is so peppy' and friendly. This pep ot' hcrs has shown up when she has been cheer leading at all the basketball games. She's not only athletic, but in addition, she is an actress who has appeared in the productions of the Dramatic Club. To her numerous abilities, one may add singing, for when she wasn't participating in the aforementioned activities and the Advisory Board. she was materially assisting the Glee Club. Jack Ayre Jack Undecided O sleep! it is a gentle thing Beloved from pole to pole. Though his past was smoky, for he came from Pittsburg, and his future is hazy, so he says. Jack has made quite a name for himself with his quiet wit and ability to come late to school. Outside ot' school, Jack has found time enough to be secretary- trcasurcr of the Pyramus Hi-Y. Jane Anne Bartholomae Jancy Miami University She aims ever upward and onward. Jane was onc nf our most loyal students. She was always willing to accept, someone cIse's responsibility oven though she had enough of her own. A great part of the success of the G. A. A. shows in her junior and senior years was due to the tact that Jane was willing to devote long hours to playing for the dancing at the rehearsals. While in high school Jane was head of the Library Stat? in her senior year. and belonged to the G. A. A., Glee Club for three years, the Chatter Board, and liluc Triangle. Edmund Berg Eddie Undecided Make the most of life you may-- Life is short and wears away. The lad with the serious rnien and light hair is Eddie. Because he dashes out to work evcry day' he has not found time to participate in sports. Now he leaves C. H. S. and the B1-rg heritage to his sister. William James Bethune, 3d Willy Princeton His mind is well-ordered, sew-ilous, and restrainedg his ability also is sound and sober? Although he may be referred to as William James Bethune, 3rd, he also responds to the call of Willy, Bill. or some other take-oil from his family name. A finished product ot' Cleveland, Ohio, he came here in his senior year and in that short space ot' time he has established quite a record for himself with both teachers and students alike. With his name one immediately associates clarinet playing, for he is the cheer- ful chap that is so cnmplacently pouring forth sweet notes for Mr. Collic-.ott's musical organizations. Those boys that belong to the Hi-Y are well-acquainted with his re- ports on Y allairs that are madc erudite with his large vocabulary.

Besides being' active in the Red Cross and the Blue Triangle, she has belonged to the Dramatic Club and the Glee Club. and was this year's G. A. A. vice-president.

In her senior year, Margaret became the very able secretary to Miss Caswell, since an injured leg forced her to give up sports. She's the one you see typing away lI'l'll9lt boss's office or running around doing errands for Miss Caswell the Chatter Board or G. A. A. She had a leading part in the spring play, for she is quite an actress, also. Ellen Augusta Carpenter Penny College How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. Penny was one ot' our classmates who were always busy. It is no wonder when you realize how much she did. She was active in music, belonging to the Glee Club for four years, and to the orchestra and band for three years. She was also an active member of the G. A. A., coming out for all sports. When she was not at either of these activities she was making cuts for the Chatter Board or working for the lllue Triangle, Dramatic Cluh, or the Red Cross. Even though she belonged to all of these organizations, she was always one of the first tio make posters for any- one who needed them, and through these posters her artistic ability was well known. Clinton Chase Clint Undecided A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest mein. Clint is one of Chatham's mighty hunters. He has proved his prowess not only in his field and stream hobby but is a three-year member of the Pyramus Hi-Y, serving as a capable vice-president of that organization during his senior year, Along athletic lines, Clint has served on the baseball squad for two years. 1-le is, moreover, when he wants to be, one ot' the most aflable members ot' the class.

Among his other activities are included the B. A. A.. Chatter Board, and the Pyramus Hi-Y. At will he seems to be able to become a middle-aged father, and will long he remembered as the lead in New Fires. Wesley R. Conklin, Jr. Chester Rutgers Wit is an unexpected explosion of thought. Wes is that very good-natured chap whose pet aversion is putting across weighty business propositions and spinning humorous yarns. His particular hobbies are gar- dening and photography. Wes has had little time for school activities, for, being an excellent gardener and grounds-keeper. he is always in demand. When not working, he bowls or plays golf or ping-pong. l7l Dorothy Marilyn Corbitt Dottie Trenton State Teachers' College Search the world all around, from the sky to the ground, No such sight can be found as an Irish lass dancing.

She is a Girl Reserve and is on the Chatter Board besides. Then, too, she is a cheerleader and certainly does a good job at it. Her peppy personality' will he missed around C. H. S. next year, but we know Trenton State Teachers' College will be glad to welcome her. William Corbitt Bill Art School 'fWe meet thee, like a pleasant thought, When such are wantedfi Bill is another of those clever seniors who can easily turn from building model airplanes, to performing superlatively on his alto saxophone, to sketching! realistic drawinyrs. Bill is perhaps best noted for his ability to play the sax, as he is a member of Chatham Hig:h's famous swing' band as well as the High School Band and Orchestra. Bill's good nature and broad smile will long be remembered at Chatham High, and we all wish him the best of luck.

Jean has made quite a name for herself because of her ability to play the saxo- phone in the orchestra and band. She's the one who always straightens out our music when it gets mixed up or lost. Jean does some other things that are entirely different. such as being a lively cheer-leader and a member of the Chatter Board. Stephan J acobus Steve Forestry The winds of heaven blow o'er me A glory shines around me Of what mankind shall be- Pure, generous, brave, and free? Steve gives every evidence of having never been short-changed in the way of brains. His versatile abilities include strumming a guitar, singing in the Glee Club, and tearing up telephone directories at will. He states that he played at soceer for three years and there reached the varsity height. He also engaged in basketball two years and in baseball for one.

Her hobbies, dancing, swimming, and skating, show her love for sports. Her pleasing smile is well known to Chathamites. Anna May Weeks May Undecided 'A sight to dream of. Like quite a few of the members of our class, May entered High School four years ago from the Township. She is best known for her beauty. During these years. she has belonged to the G. A. A. here, and Young People's Fellowship near her home. As she lives far from school. she is unable to participate in many ol our activities. Hel' favorite pastime is sewing. Priscilla White Pat Skidmore Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Pat is another sports fan, baseball being her particular craze. But she is musical. too. Her hobby is listening to popular music over the radio: you often hear her swing- ing out the latest. Pat is a friend of friends, and will be missed a lot. At Skid- more, in Saratoga Springs, she will take the Physical Ed. course. Jessie Laurene Whitehead Jess Undecided f'But to see her was to love her. .less is one of the prettiest and most athletic girls in school. Besides, she has certainly added a lot to our class fame, for she was in the Glee Club when she was a sophomore, and belonged to the Library Club in her junior year. She was president ol' the G. A. A. this year and with her skill at making good shots has helped win many a basketball game. Barbara Whitman Bobbie Duke University Steadfast of thought, well made, well wrought. Bobbie is one of those versatile people who can do everything well. She has been a useful member of the Advisory Board, which helps run our school for us. Because of her poise and dignity, she was the angel in the Christmas Festival, an event which we will not soon forget. Besides all this, she has been in the Girl Reserves and the G. A. A.. and was an able cheerleader in her senior year. E181 Harold Wiltsie Bud Business A good companion and an easy friend. Bud is the fellow with the ever-present grin and inexhaustible supply ot' bubbling' Hood humor. He was an active member of the Pythias Hi-Y for his junior and senior years, doim: secretarial duties for that organization this past year. His favorite sport is football. and his chief hobby is aviation.

Althouprh Marire is not heard from in a loud and thundering! voice, we know she is nt-ver idle. When she is not doing Chatham Press work, or checkin! upon us book borrowcrs in the school library, she is drawing: stylish figures. Yes, she intends to be a fashion illustrator. But shi- has other interests, too, such as swimming. The Drainatic Club, the Chatter Board, and the Red Cross have occupied most ot' her rcmaininir spare time. Donald E. Would Bud Business I have laid aside business and gone a-jishingf' With his jovial spirit and over present grin, Bud has done much to enliven Chat- ham High and prevent too much hard thinking taking.: place. He has taken ex- tremely active part in sporting roles. having been a Your-year man in every sport, and serving as raptain oi' the soccer tt-am in 'flT. For two years he has belonged to the Olympus Hi-Y. liud's favorite pursuits are huntinir and fishing, and dogs hold a fascination for him. Mabel Winona Wyckoff Mae Business As merry as the day is long. Riding to school on the bus is Mat-'s only means ol' transportation to and from school. lf this is taken into consideration, it may easily be seen why she can not enter into many of our activities. In her freshman year, she belonged to the Glee Club. Outside of that. she has only been able to be a member of the G. A. A. In her little spare time left from studies, she participates in her two widely separate hobbies: baseball and hair-setting. Miss Hanschitz and Miss Mueller have had an eflicient secrctaiy in the person ol' Mabel Wyckotl. E191 Class History ERHAPS if you, the members of the class of 1939, were to walk into the lovely hotel at Lake Louise, in the Canadian Rockies, in the year 1964, you would recognize the names on the regis- ter, and perhaps the faces of three people very fa- miliar to us in high school, namely, Miss Partridge, Mr. Spicer, and Mr. Lynch. They were our three senior homeroom teachers, if you remember. Let us imagine that we are there twenty-five years from now, so that we can see what is going on. Mr. Spicer has just joined our other two friends in a little room off the lobby and is speaking, I just saw that group of young people leave the hotel. I think that they're attending the production of Hamlet in the neighboring village, explained Miss Partridge. I'll never forget the time that I 'went to New York with the class of 1939 to see Maurice Evans play Hamlet. It was a wonderful production and we all had a fine evening. It seems to me that I remember having heard :about the trip. Wasn't that the year that Craig Allen was senior class president? asked Mr. Lynch. 'Yes, replied Mr. Spicer, don't you remember, they graduated the second year after the new school was opened. I wonder what the building looks like now, after twenty-five years, it was so pleasant and comfortable when it was first built. I recall that class well, it was one of the largest that we had had, and very versatile, too. They went in for a lot of activities: dramatics, basketball, baseball, soccer, Glee Club, orchestra, band, Red Cross work, and Chatter Board. Yes, even when they were freshmen they show- ed a keen interest in all the school activities. Craig was president that first year too. Let's see-Leland Konecke was vice-president and Thelma Reinfelder was secretary-treasurer, I remember, added Miss Partridge. A couple of the boys even made the second team in basketball that first yearf' continued Mr. Lynch, Stephen Jacobus and Craig Allen. And then there was the party the seniors gave themf, L'Yes, but they didn,t really get into the swing of things until their sophomore year,', said Mr. Spicer. '6Oh, yesf, said the Latin teacher, 'Gthey went I I E201 out for everything except studies. It's no wonder that they lost the Honor Roll Cup in the Senior year. But, I guess they are to be forgiven. After all, what would all the clubs and teams have done without the sophomoresf' Lee Konecke, Steve Jacohus, and Buddy Mess- ner were the class officers that year, oh, yes, and Craig won the Professor Quiz contest. That was a good programf, said Miss Partridge. Well, although I had begun to wonder, they couldn't remain in the tenth grade forever. They became ,luniors the next year. That was a good year, Mr. Spicer said. Yes, finally that year they had a picnic at Point Pleasant. They had a grand time, even though the water was rather cold. I don't think the bus driver has yet recovered from the vocal concert he had to endure all the way to the beach and hack again. Speaking of music, there was a great deal of in- terest in it that year. Gertrude Lauterwasser was in the All-State Orchestra, said Mr. Lynch. Yes, added Miss Partridge, and ,lanet Stollery, Jean Huxham, and Edith l.ilieholm sang in the Chorus. 'l'hat year the girls took part in the CAA. Show, l'he Music Box'. Jack Schrumpf was Junior president and Becky Allen was head of the Dramatic Club, said Mr. Spicer. Ho you remember the excitement over choosing the class rings? 'lihey were really very beautiful. And then next year you would have thought that no other class had ever had their pic- tures taken before. NI guess they were surprised to find how busy the senior year was. With the picture taking, the party for the freshmen, the sports, the G.A.A. Show, the commencement Chatter, and graduation taking up their time, it kept them stepping, said Mr. Spicer. '5Yes, they thought that was work, but those who went to college changed their minds, seeing all that they had to do there. It was one of the most im- portant jobs of the senior year to decide upon colleges and vocationsf, said Mr. Lynch. The prom and banquet were certainly the crowning events of their four years, though. I guess they are to every class, said Miss Partridge. That's one of the interesting things about being a teacher, said Mr. Spicer, you can enjoy those big events with every class, without having to leave, after a mere four yearsf' l imagine these three could go on reminiscing all night about C. H. S. and some of its classes, but it's getting late, and I think I saw a yawn escape Mr. Lynch: so perhaps we had better return to the present. It does seem that our former teachers have superlative memories. but then we must remember that we are an outstanding class, and we certainly expect them to remember us twenty-five years from now: or will they? 0--. E211 Class Will Ii-Now all men by these presents that we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-nine 'of Chatham High School., situated in the Borough -of Chatham, County of Morris, State of New Jer- .sey, United States of America, being of very sound mind fnow that exams are overj, sound body fdue to Coach and Teach J, very unsound memory fwhy?j, and fair understanding, do make our last will and testament in the manner and form follow- ing: Vicky Albright leaves her deep voice to Celie Nordenholt in hope that her squeaks will discon- ztinue.

Just a dreamer, aren't we all? In my dreams last night it seemed That my classmates came to call. HE day was clear, the sun was bright, but there was a strangeness about our surround- ings. I could scarcely realize all that had happen- ed in the past ten years. We were in an airplane and had with us a very powerful telescope which Marion Bilstein and her efficient secretary, Margaret Carley, had invented in their laboratory. With this telescope we were -able to see the individuals in the world below and as our eyes swept the scene., we saw many of our classmates. We were somewhere in the vicinity of Short Hills, .New Jersey, and could see Violet Horak fMrs. .Harold Debbiej sending her young son and daugh- 'ter to school. About a mile down the road we saw Florence Weber fwhose married name has slipped my mindj sending her twins to school, also. We could see Jone Howard with her sunny disposition, 'waiting to start their day in the right way. Jone seems to have to be in school to be happy. We were flying to Chatham to attend an Alumni meeting, and as we passed Epstein's in Morristown, we were interested to see Janet Budd, personal buy- er, and the two attractive fashion designers, Mary Brockie and Edith Lilieholm, discussing the future styles. Along came Penny Carpenter, Parisian buy- er, to add her viewpoint to the subject. Over there in the dress department we found Margery Hitchen, Helen Smart, and Jessie Whitehead, three of Ep- stein's most attractive models. In one office going over Epstein's books was Betty Kofel, C.P.A., and in another were several hard-working secretaries, Carmel Rillo, Hazel Gunsel, Frances Monticello, and Edith Ekander. The meeting was held at Alumni Hall in C. H. S., which had recently been completed. This meeting served a two-fold purpose: as a class reunion and as an opportunity for the faculty to see whether they would recommend James Clingen as an Eng- lish teacher, and Becky Allen, Bobbie Whitman, and Priscilla White as new gym teachers. Two new buildings have been added to dear old C. H. S. L24 The town surely is growing. The meeting was opened by a speech by none other than Craig Allen, Mayor of New York City and our former class president.
