Dewar. •k A high school yearbook which stresses mails freedoms in democratic living reflects the serious concern which youth has for the nation ' s future. As civilization progresses, accelerated by phenom- enal scientific discoveries, the possibility of realiz- ing greater freedoms has developed more rapidly than has man ' s ability to include them in the pat- tern of everyday living. The problem is so com- plex that we even have difficulty in preserving all of those precious freedoms that Americans have enjoyed in the past. The oncoming generation has an unusual oppor- tunity to preserve old freedoms while creating new ones, so that future decades will bring us happier living and a more complete realization of the American Dream. Henry E. Kentopp HENRY E.. KENTOPP Superintendent of Schools Page Six MESSAGE •k Before another Tartan ap- pears we hope the end of W orld War Two may be an accom- jilished fact. At least we now feel assured of the dawn of vic- tory. To achieve that end we are making many sacrifices. Whatever the ivar demands of us in money, ivork, and energy we are willing and eager to give. But when the final gun has been fired our problems will multiply. They will grow much more complex. And the great danger is that they may be less tangible because the physical dangers of combat no longer exist — the glamour of doing something concrete, the per- sonal satisfaction of giving something will have been re- moved. Our problems then icill be more difficult of solu- tion. If the peace is to be won and maintained, we and millions more the world over must be willing continuously to put aside selfish interests on a scale never demanded of previous generations. Consideration for the welfare of others must loom large in our thinking. War ' s end may find this hemisphere untouched by the devastation and ravage of actual combat. But the preservation of funda- mental human rights must then be one of our major concerns as well as the greatest opportu- nity ever presented to the hu- man race. In 1919 Prime Minister Churchill said that the test of a nation ' s greatness is what it will do when it is tired. Amer- ica will reach its supreme test and greatest opportunity ivhen, no doubt, it may well be weary. Let ' s help our country rise to greatness when its energies are low. The Four Freedoms to which this year book is dedicated are possible only as all of us are willing to pay the price in sacri- fice, self-denial, and adherence to our best beliefs. Destiny is calling.

The stares of upperclassmen did noth- ing to lessen the nervousness we already felt about everything from our carefully sharp- ened pencils to our new clothes. Our first days at Scott were indeed as strange as we had expected them to be. Lockers puzzled us for several weeks, until we discovered that a gentle tap, applied with the toe at a strategic moment, worked won- ders. The size of the building was another cause of embarrassment. To walk into a class, settle yourself, and then suddenly dis- cover you belonged two doors down, was the height of awkwardness. Yes, we were typi- cal freshmen! But after a few weeks we fell into the pattern and felt we belonged. During the fall we trooped to the football games and cheered lustily for that famous undefeated team and sang loudly, if some- what off-key, all the school songs. More than a little self-conscious at the dances, we performed our repertoire of stum- bling steps, despaired at our clumsiness, and ended by enjoying ourselves immensely. Afterwards, with our parents ' words, ' Be in at eleven, ringing in our ears, we sipped a coke in the modern manner and went home to dream of the senior we had danced with. School performances, such as the Christmas Concert and Bachelor Born , performed late in the Spring, we attended faithfully, and either sang ourselves hoarse or clapped till our hands ached. But these occasions were just the frosting on the cake. For the first time we learned the real meaning of those two words — home work. But when final exams loomed, most of us, because of hard study during the year, managed to take them in stride. With many memories and experiences be- hind us, we set out for summer vacation, half- glad, half-sorry that our freshman year was over. Sophomore Year President Leigh Robertson Vice-President Marian Weber Secretary Owen Kwasha Treasurer Marilyn Derrick September, 1941, and another first day of school was upon us. As sophomores we were in a position to patronize the freshmen and take things with the calm sophistication that marked us as veterans. It took us only a few days to settle down in our designated grooves. But something soon happened that jolted us out of our eozy routine. That something was Pearl Har- bor. At first we were numbed and more than a little unbelieving. But when red, white, and blue became the universal motif and our schooldays were filled more and more with war talk and war work, the realization be- came almost a part of us. We are proud of the contribution we, as sophomores, made to the war effort. We subscribed to the Red Cross one hundred per cent, bought large numbers of war stamps and bonds, and worked in many defense or- ganizations. Most important of all, as Scott students and alumni left for the armed forces, we tried to take over the tasks they had to leave behind. Yet in many ways life did not seem greatly changed. School activities went along their accustomed path; the Christmas and Spring Concert s were given; Foul is Fair and Through the Night were presented by the dramatic department; the usual class dances were well attended. But though we enjoyed ourselves, some- times to the neglect of our studies, a subtle change had come over us. We were less childish, more adult in all our decisions and disagreements. The war, which seemed then so far away, was nevertheless shaping our lives. Witli an older and more experienced eye we awaited the beginning of our junior year. Page Fourteen HISTORY Junior Year President Leigh Robertson I ice-President Mary Lou Moon Secretary Alan RoTHERMEL Treasurer BlIX Wheaton With our coming of age, more responsibil- ity, more realization of the war fell upon us. In one of the most impressive ceremonies ever presented at Scott the Service Flag and Honor Roll were dedicated. The significance of the gold star beside one boy ' s name was lost to no one. N ineteen forty-two and forty-three were memorable years in the light of school activi- ties. The Bagpipe, once so meek and mild, became a roaring lion overnight. The edi- torials were vigorous and daring. Certainly it was the up-and-coming Bagpipe staff that won girl cheer-leaders for Scott. The Junior Prom — our Junior Prom — was given during the week of St. Valentine ' s Day. The decorations, composed of hearts and cu- pids, were striking. The former were in- scribed with the names of well-known two- somes, and found their way into many a scrapbook. The dance was unusually suc- cessful, from Dave Rose ' s orchestra to the little lamps on the tables. Double or Nothing was the annual fall dramatic production. Rehearsals were fre- quently interrupted while the cast adjourned to Herm ' s for cokes, hut the finished product was better than all expectations. Toward the end of the year, during those last spring months, we really began to miss the seniors who were leaving almost daily for the armed forces. The names on the Honor Roll increased and so did the feeling that the war was now part of our school life. As seniors next year we would probably feel it even more. Senior Year President Louis Camisa Vice-President Phyllis Smalzried Secretary Jean Merrick Treasurer Jack Maher Seniors at last! For the fourth and final time we were facing another first day. Most of us realized that this last year was to be our most important, not only from a social point of view, but from an intellectual one as well. After this year was over we would be, in a sense, on our own; boys would be going into the armed forces, girls would be serving in some capacity on the home front. Meanwhile life went on in an orderly pat- tern. As seniors we enjoyed a certain pres- tige. We treated freshmen with condescen- sion; on the sophomores we bestowed aloof nods; we chatted amiably with juniors. We had expected to feel quite different, but much to our surprise, after the first few months we decided that our senior year was just another phase of our education. Our studies were harder and required more effort, but though we complained more than anyone else in the school, we still enjoyed our work. We attended the Christinas Concert, and listened attentively, knowing that this might very well be our last. Night Must Fall , a dramatic production presented in February, kept us on the edge of our seats. Toward April and May, as we coped with our annual case of spring fever, we felt that our restlessness was, for the first time, impor- tant. We had enjoyed our school days, but with a new life spreading before us we were eager to enter upon it. Though many of the old crowd were still around to joke or rem- inisce with, we were ready to step out and join those who were now full-fledged mem- bers of the adult world. We hadn ' t long to wait. Senior Prom came and went, and suddenly our days at Scott were over. Armed with our diplomas, we left its halls forever, prepared to face a world at war, but certain that we, as graduates of Scott, could make our contribution to the newer and better world to come.

Page Thirty-six Class Officers Louis Camisa President Phyllis Smalzried Vice-President Jean Merrick Secretary Jack Maher Treasurer TO THE CLASS OF 1944 -k For the past four years you have heen travel- ling along the road to self-knowledge, to an appre- ciation of the point-of-view of others, and to a clearer understanding of the world in which you live. Far from ending with your graduation, this process continues, throughout life itself, and to the degree that you advance toward the realization of these goals, to that degree are you an educated person. As you have contributed greatly to the school, so now as you go into broader fields may what you have learned here stand you in good stead and help you to further understanding.

During the foothall season it sponsored the sale of School Colors, which netted a good profit. Also, a Lost and Found Committee was re-organized because of a definite need in school for such a Committee to handle all lost or found articles. An important problem handled by the Student Council last fall was: Why don ' t we have longer lunch periods? After thor- ough investigation of all the reasons and an explanation from the administration, the question was cleared up and we understood why lunch periods could not be lengthened. On November 19 four delegates were sent to the New Jersey Association of High School Councils ' Conference and at that time Scott High ' s Council became a member of the or- ganization. At this conference the delegates investigated the organization of other Coun- cils. Then they presented their information to our Council. New ideas (such as a Cheer Fund, some kind of faculty-student organiza- tion, and a Constitution) were discussed at later meetings and those that the members thought advisable to inject into our school life were accepted. This Council has tried through its members and the school paper to stimulate students ' interest in the activities of our organization as well as of our school. But without the co-operation and interest of each student the Council could not function effectively. With active Council members, active students, and an active executive committee Scott High ' s Student Councils will continue to meet prob- lems of school life with success.

Our Brtgpipe staff was very eager to make the paper better than ever this year. In spite of the insurgents on the staff it was successful in reporting all the news of school affairs and sports as well as current events. The editorial policy of the Bagpipe was clearly defined in the first editorial of the year in which the editor wrote: Our object is to print items of current, historical, and hu- morous interest, and in this way, introduce the students and activities of Scott High to our readers. In the beginning of the year the Student Council appointed a member of the staff to the position of Council reporter. The article Council Fire was written by this reporter to keep the readers informed of the activities of the Council. Every boy in the service from Scott for whom the Mail Satchel Editor had an ad- dress received a copy of the Bagpipe each month. The staff was pleased to receive so many letters of thanks from these boys. The letters were later published for everyone else to read. In the first issue the editor also stated that the theme of the Bagpipe this year was to be More Student Responsibility. At the end of the year the Staff feels that it has given its best to develop this theme and to keep all students and alumni informed each month of the news of Scott High.

To all of us students it would be a cherished summary of our four years of high school, but to the boys entering the armed forces of our country, it would mean something more. To them the Tartan would symbolize all the things that they were fighting and dying for, the care- free days of youth in a democracy, equal opportunity for all, in fact, the Four Freedoms themselves. Thus, in spite of the extra work caused by war restrictions and priorities, the staff went ahead with the job. Rooms 109 and 214 became the centers of activity for months. Assignments were given out, collected, re-written, proof-read, typed; pictures were taken, looked at, argued about, and accepted. But the war and our hopes for peace were an integral part of the book. Our theme was the Four Freedoms and the most important page, the closing page, was a tribute to our servicemen. Finally the Tartan was finished, but the staff had profited greatly from working on it. The satisfaction of working on and completing a common project more than compensated us for our work. Page Forty-five GLEE CLUB Spring Conceit— May 27, 1943 Requiem by Johannes Brahms Christmas Concert — December 10, 1943 1. Excerpts from Handel ' s Messiah 2. Selected Christmas Carols I N 1943-44 the Glee Club maintained its reputation as one of the leading choral groups of the state when it gave two very successful concerts, one in May and one in December, under the direction of Mr. Young. Contrary to custom, rehearsals were held at eight o ' clock several mornings a week during the month preceding the performance, as so many members of the Glee Club were contributing to the war effort by working after school. An epidemic of grippe also laid low many singers but in spite of this a musical performance of distinction was given. The stage, set with lofty white pillars, made an effective background for the scarlet robes of the singers. At intervals during the years voice classes have taken over the production of several assembly programs. Although these classes were depleted this year by illness and enlistment in the armed services, several members gave us an enjoyable program one Friday morning. Preceding senior classes have given operettas, but with after-school re- hearsals out of the question the class of ' 44 abandoned plans for such a pro- duction. As soon as the Christmas Concert was over, a program was immediately drawn up for the Spring Concert in 1944. Page Forty-six BAND First row Uejt to right): Paul Flolin. Elmer Peterson. Bill Kroll.

Page Sixty-four lOOTBALl. 191.5 J ] o other team in Scott ' s short history has shown such con- «-- ' sistent sportsmanship a- the arsity squad of 1943. Suffering one defeat after another the hoys, under the leadership of Coach Dougherty, came hack each week with a bigger and bet- ter will to win. But this was one football season when the -cores didn ' t tell the whole story, or even part of it. They didn ' t tell of the enthusi- astic support of the student body, at pep meetings and at the game-. They didn ' t tell of the brilliant fight put up against power- ful opponents by a comparatively inexperienced Scott team. The first game of the season took place at Glen Ridge. There the unseasoned Scottonians received their first set-back. There followed a sharp encounter with West Orange, which was high-lighted by George Tomliiison ' s run around rigbt end for Scott ' s only tally. Union, Summit, and Passaic alley were Scott ' s next oppo- nents and subsequent conquerors. At Passaic Valley Bill heat- on ' s passing and Vinnie Smith ' s kicking and touchdown run were bright spots for the Scarlet and Gray. A cloudy election day found the Scott team unpacking its -nits at Millburn. In the bleachers a large crowd of loyal Scott rooters sat and soaked while the two evenly matched elevens fought every minute for every inch. Three times Scott beat it- way to Millburn ' s end zone and three times Millburn fought its way to Scott ' s. The Scotties ' failure to convert and Millburn ' s suc- cess at conversion made the difference between victory and defeat. Three home games followed with Long Branch. Belleville, and Orange. For a season when victory came not once, school spirit reached an all-time high. Next year will see a team with many veterans of ' 43, but even though Scott should win every game, in a larger sense the season could not be more successful than the one just past.  k Mr. Miller, in his second year as basketball coach, faces a difficult problem in placing a comparatively inexperienced five on the court against a twentv-one game schedule beginning December 14 and continuing to the first of March. Al Reynolds, a guard on last year ' s team, and Boh Pav- lisko, last year ' s high scoring forward, are the only returning lettermen. Besides Reynolds and Pavlisko, Coach Miller will depend upon George Tomlinson. Larry Gauli, Leigh Robertson, Francis Fitzgerald, Frank Murphy, Frank Kennedy, Jack Maher, and David Cairns to form the nucleus of the club. The first four mentioned obtained some varsity experience last year while the others are up from the junior varsity team. The outstanding teams to he encountered are Orange, Colum- bia, West Orange, Montclair, Bloomfield, Irvington, and Glen Ridge. BASKETBALL Seated left to right: David Cairns.

There should be consider- able interest in the sport this season, since last year ' s team made such a fine record, and received an invitation to play in the Greater Newark Tournament. Mr. Miller will attempt to increase the schedule from nine games to sixteen or more. The teams played last year will probably be repeaters. They are South Side, Valley High, Immaculate Conception, Irvington, Columbia, and Newark Academy. Returning lettermen from last year ' s team are Al Rothermel, southpaw pitcher, who won three and lost no games, and Phil De- Cicco, who performed capably around the keystone sack. Other good prospects are Bill Wheaton and Tommy Walters. TRACK Last season the Scott V arsity Track Team produced its finest record thus far in the school ' s history. The outstanding feat was the placing of the team in the State Meet, Group II, in the fourth place. Other stand- outs on the record were victories over West ££ Orange and Caldwell. Next spring Coach Dougherty will look to Leigli Robertson, Bill Nooney, Jeff Duncan, Ed Milteer, and Fred Peterson, last year ' s star lettermen, to carry most of the respon- sibility for a winning team.

To accomplish this, Mrs. Doll has mapped out a complete program of exercises and sports which carry through the entire school year. The first of these is hockey. Gym classes are organized into teams which, throughout the fall, practice skills and play games. After the season is well under way class teams are chosen and meet each other to determine the school champions. This year the hockey teams played East Orange, Glen Ridge, and Bloomfield. ending the season with a total of three wins, one tie, and one defeat. In spite of the bruised shins, fractured thumbs, and mangled toes, hockey continues to be a favorite among the girls. Another popular fall sport is swimming. The girls traveled every week to the Y and there received instruction in diving, strokes, and general tactics in the water. Page Sixty-eight BASKETBALL SPORTS First row: Joan Ilaria.

Throughout the long winter months basketball and Modern Dance hold sway. Basketball sextets are chosen by the same method as hockey teams. Last year our girls played only two extra-mural games, against Glen Ridge and East Orange. For Modern Dance, each gym class last year composed a dance which became a part of the program for the Modern Dance recital given in March. At the start of warm spring weather the Scottie girls, clad in the traditional red suits, invade the athletic fields for the soft- ball season. Class teams are again organized, with the school championship again at stake. At the end of each season chevrons are awarded to the girls who participate in after-school sports. Under this program, interest and enthusiasm for sports have increased yearly. Guided by our physical education teacher. Mrs. Doll, girls sports are finding their proper place in a world where physical fitness is so necessary. Page Sixty-nine _J his yearbook would be incomplete if we overlooked the growing list of names on the Service Plaque in the entrance hall of our school. To us these names are not just inscriptions on brass plates, but friends who are privileged to serve in the armed forces of our nation. These boys are fighting for the American way of life which is exemplified every day at Clifford Scott High School. When we speak without fear in class, when we worship as we see fit in the auditorium, we are fighting with them for the netver and better world of the future, a world to be guided and reconstructed by educated youth. The Class of 1944 closes this book with a tribute to all the boys of Clifford Scott High School who have gone off to fight for the Four Freedoms, for us and for the world.
