Qllaaa lhiainrg FRESHMAN YEAR The day had arrived at last! We could walk down the nalls and consider ourselves a real part of C.H.S. With Maurice Landemare as president, Dick Clark, Peggy Wood, and Charles Faunce as his able assistants, we looked forward to a bright future. While none of our boys captured a 'berth on the varsity teams that year, we did give ample evidence of being a class with plenty of school spirit. Dancing after the basketball games was inaugurated that year and the idea gained immediate popularity. Perhaps the best- remembered event of the year was the trip to the zoo taken by the biology classes. fRemember how mysteri- ously money disappeared from the pockets of some of the boys?J Undoubtedly the highlight of the year, for the girls, at least, was the annual G.A.A. show. Their appearance as Gingerbread Boys doing a cookie dance in Storyland helped to make the elaborate show a hit. SOPHOMORE YEAR Our second year of high school got off to a fine start under the capable leadership of Dick Clark. John Bennett was vice-president, Anne Mowen, secretary, and the treasurer was Charles Faunce. One of our lirst activities as sophomores was to have our belated class party. We played games, ate, and danced, but the highlight of the evening was the hand- ing out of knocks to some of the members of the class. In sports, Dick Pastore and Bucky Fisher were on the soccer team, Frank Patterson made the varsity basketball and baseball squads, bringing glory to our class when he led the team in points scoredg Bob Carrington, Jim Schanck, Robin Brandegee, and Dick Clark represented our class on the track team. That year the Latin II students went to see Medea, and the speech students witnessed the great musical com- edy, 0-klabomu. The theme of the G.A.A. Show was Day Dreams. Our girls portraying cowboys did a dance which fea- tured the cracking of specially made whips. JUNIOR YEAR In our junior year we had numerous boys representing our class on varsity teams. The soccer team, with eight of our classmates on the squad, steamrollered through the opposition and won the State Group 1 Championship. One of the highlights of the basketball season was Frank Patterson's all-time record of 34 points in a single game. The girls had their share of honors, too. Taffy Weeks and Barbara Bean were sent to the New Jersey Field Hockey Association tryouts to represent C.H.S. In December the school gave the annual Christmas concert, featuring And the Glory of the Lord and Now 4 Child Ir Born. Marilyn Engelman represented our class in the All-State Chorus. After a few weeks' delay, our class rings Bnally arrived. Our delight was obvious as we went around proudly displaying the jewels we had just acquired. With the coming of March, we juniors invaded the United Nations. Although the day turned out to be quite worthwhile and a lot of fun, we all got a slight scare when the buses pulled into the garage in Caldwell with an inch to spare on either side! ' Ou ass party was appropriately held on April Fools' Day. gym was decorated with caricatures of various members f the class. President John Cargill ably directed the activities, which included games and dancing. The feature of the party was Doc Spicer's rendition of On lbe Road to Mandalay. Vocalist of the evening, after much coaxing, was Mr. Brown. The girls dressed as delicious peppermint sticks, tapped out a charming dance in the G.A.A. Show which was called The Spice of Life. At the close of the year our class, represented by Izzy Wellington, Jeanne Fischer, Mary Sharkey, Connie Headapohl, Janet Heiser, Poogie Firebaugh, Marilyn Engelman, Wealthy Ann Wittreich, Peggy Wood, Mickey Patten, Barbara Fuechsel, Diane Ward, and Pauline Scott, assisted with the graduation exercises as garland girls. SENIOR YEAR After wading through three long years, we were SENIORS. One of the first major events was the assign- ment of our new lockers, with all members of the class rejoicingg no more stooping for the tall ones, no more stretching for the shorties. We elected Dick Pastore to head our activities, with John Bennett as vice-president, Jeanne Fischer as sec- retary, and Bob Sangster as treasurer. Our class advisers were Doc Eshelman, Miss Miles, and Miss Odell. At senior meetings, held every other Wednesday, We discussed plans for the class party, the banquet, the prom, and heard lectures by authorities on vocations interesting to us. The Senior Hi-Y again sponsored a very successful Hallowe'en Dance at the school gym. We wound up the soccer season with a record of 8 wins, 2 ties, and 3 losses. Dick Pastore, captain, Frank Patterson, Duke Bradshaw, Jack Cargill, Bucky Fisher, and Maurice Landemare were outstanding members of the squad. Unfortunately, we were defeated by Hights- town in our bid for the State Group I Championship. The basketball team got off to a sensational start, with Captain Frank Patterson and Jim Cathcart making a sensational scoring duo. They were assisted in the back court by Duke Bradshaw, Dick Pastore, and Johnny Redmond. Our class party was held on December 1. After hur- riedly consuming the delicious refreshments, we hastened to the auditorium where six of the girls entertained us with I'll Never See Maggie Alone, which was inter- mpted when Marny appeared in a rather Peculiar costume. The fellows then gave out with You Are My Sunshine. The G.A.A. Show, the best ever so far as we were concerned, featured the senior girls in a beautifully pic- turesque formation dance. The igloo, enjoyed by the underclassmen and seniors alike, became a regular monthly event. Needless to say, the highlight of the year was our Prom. The decorations and music were unsurpassable, and everyone had a super time. Our last week together as a class was memorable. At the Baccalaureate Service the pastors of the Chatham churches congratulated us and gave a message to guide us in the future. On Wednesday we met at Bernardsville Inn for our banquet and program of music, and informal talks by Mr. Bates and Dr. Jeter. Poetic and witty knocks were presented, along with the class history, will, and prophecy read by Anne Mowen, Lois Steele, and Wealthy Wittreich. Then our Chatter-the fruit of labor and genius-was presented hrst to our dedicatee and then to the class. Friday evening, June 16, preceded by the junior garland girls, we marched down the aisles in our blue caps and gowns to receive our coveted diplomas.
