And it must have been difficult i to retain or discard days which—at first consider- l seem equally important; days, for example, on which great battles were fought, men worthy of esteem and love were born, or lives were unselfishly sacrificed. And from a great number of such days a comparatively small number were retained and made legal holidays. In what way or ways did our ancestors expect us to commemorate these days? They ordered mills, business houses, schools and all other public places to be closed. This they did primarily to make the day resemble Sunday by all abstinence from servile work. But may they not have had some other idea in ordering this? May they not have planned this in order to give more leisure to the mind, more time to meditate on the meaning of the day?—“lest we forget.” Do we commemorate holidays in the way that we were expected to? Do we on February 12 and 22 give ourselves the time to figure out just what is the meaning of the days; or do we consider them only as “vacations?” If so, we are neither paying due tribute to those who set these days apart as holidays nor to the men whose birthdays we should be honoring. The sole mention of their names ought to make us think of their honesty, humbleness, altruism, perseverance, loyalty. So too. Memorial Day should be a day of serious thoughts on the “recognition of a brother man’s rights”; and Thanksgiving a day of meditation on all that others have done long before our day and of gratitude to Him who has given us all that we possess. Let us hereafter be unselfish enough to spend a few minutes of each holiday in appreciating the significance of the holiday instead of treating it entirely as a vacation. M. P.f 1921. three At a general assembly held in the morning of June 2, 1921, our principal, Mr. Walter F. Nutt, was presented with a beautiful bronze statue, “The Flying Mercury.” This gift was presented by the track team of Clifton High School as a token of their esteem and appre- ciation of him. He justly deserves this honor and all other honors that may be bestowed upon him. Here’s to the appreciation of our principal for all he has done for us and the students before us and for what he will do in the future for those students who have not yet entered our high school. May he know that his efforts are not wasted; but, that they are bearing fruit day by day. Here’s to our principal—may he be esteemed, and honored, by every student in Clifton High School. H. R. B„ ’22. Deeply appreciating the kindly interest manifested in the welfare of Clifton High School by many of the citizens of our city and of neigh- boring ones, the Staff of the REFLECTOR wish to extend a word of greeting to our many friends. We wish to show our gratitude, ex- pressly, to those who have helped fill the pages of our REFLECTOR with their advertisements. We trust that such warm courtesies shall not be forgotten and that our friends will remember our advertisers with available patronage whenever the occasion presents itself. M. P., 1921. four HIS BLACK SOUL R. George Washington Abraham Lincoln Brown, colored, had just finished reading a sign, tacked on a pole, an- nouncing the coming motor boat races. What had im- pressed him most was the fact that the winner would re- ceive five hundred dollars cash, and he knew where there was a boat for sale for the same amount. He read the sign again and decided that he was going to get that five hundred. He walked slowly down the street, and as he turned the corner he met Thomas Lee, the owner of the boat for sale. “Hello, Thomas,” said George. “Hello, George,” was the reply. “Say Thomas, a been thinkin’ ’bout buyin’ dat der boat of yours.” “Yea? Well dat’s a right powerful boat, an’ it can’t be beat.” I hat s what a been thinkin too. Don spose yo all ud let me take it fo’ a try-out sometime, would you?” Shoo, shoo. When do yo wan it? said I homas eagerly, think- ing he had a buyer. George s heart gave a leap, and his mind sought rapidly the date of the race. “How ’bout de fourth ob July?” “Dats o’right, yo’ can hab it den. Don’ forget now.” “A won’t. Bye.” “Bye.” At five minutes of two, George sailed the boat to the starting point. In a short time the boats were all lined up for the race. I he starter raised his pistol. A sharp report followed. There was a roar of motors as the boats leaped forward. But one did not start— it was George’s. five He worked frantically over the engine. A muffled explosion was heard, and a spurt of blue flame leaped upward; the motor roared and shot forward cutting the clear blue waters in two. A wild cheer rose from the eager spectators. The other boats were now far ahead of him but he gained steadily on them. When the turning point was reached George was second. He turned, going at full speed, just missing one and scraping another. Such a demon never before existed. He passed the finishing line a good two hundred yards ahead of the rest. George slowed down, his mouth stretched from ear to ear and his big white teeth shining in the sun. That evening he returned the boat to Thomas. “Well, George, how do yo’ all like it?” “A’s sorry Thomas, very sorry, but et’s not fast ’nuff fo me. “What!” “Yes sah! it’s too slow, but don’ yo’ let a thing like a boat make our friendship bust.” “No, no, not at all.” “O’right Thomas, much obliged. Bye.” When George turned the corner he began to whistle loud enough to blow his teeth out. But he had five hundred dollars added to his bank account, and he didn’t even have to buy the gasoline he ran the boat with. William Mair, June, 1922. 81X BOB’S PA Yestidday after suppir I wunted to ask pop if I could go out, ony I dident dass to on account of him being mad at me for falling down on my way home from the cigar store and handing him broken cigars and two hole ones instead of six hole ones, me thinking, G, I wish I could make him laff or something and then I’d ask him while he was in good humer. And I peeked in the setting room and pop was in there reeding the paper with a ixpression as if it would take a hole lot to make him laff. Jest then I had a good ideer, thinking, G, I know wot. I’ll diskize myself in pop’s new hat and rane-coat and come up and leeve him see me and he’ll laff like anything and then I’ll quick ask him. I went down and put on his rane-coat and new hat and started to walk upstairs, walking carefil on account of the rane-coat coming away down farther than my feet and the hat coming down to my nose, me thinking, I bet I look funny as the dooce. I bet I did, and jest then I almost tripped but dident, and I got up to the setting room, and father was still setting there and reading and looking even less like laffing than wat he did before, and I sed, look father, and started to walk in, and just then I almost tripped agen and kepp on tripping and the straw hat came off and fell under me so I had to fall on top of it, and I herd some-thing make a fu jiy noise like straw breaking, thinking this ain’t making him laff. Wich it wasent, and he jumped up and pulled me up by the back of his rane-coat and saw how different his new hat looked saying, I think youve fallen on enuff of my things for one day now I think its time something of mine fell on you. Wich it did, being his slipper. F. Shelkowitz, class of 1923. seven WHEN I WAS TOO TALKATIVE At college I had formed the opinion that nothing was of greater importance than football. I studied football, spoke nothing but foot- ball, dreamed, played and ate football. When I left college, I still adhered to this opinion and became the most enthusiastic football fan that ever honored the face of this merry old football field, the world. In fact it was my habit of talking of football that had a great deal to do with my present good fortune. On the day of the Yale-Harvard game I was sitting in the west-side stands of the Yale bowl. I was talking, as is my habit, to a man on my left. I described vividly many of the plays that I had taken part in and gave no little credit to myself. (I was never modest.) Somehow or other I began talking to the man on my left about the playing of the Harvard team on that long-to-be-remembered day. “Why, sir,” I said, “That was the toughest, roughest, cleanest played game that I ever took part in. There was a fellow on the Harvard team, I think his name was Landon, who could give as much as he took, and my word, he did take a great deal. He played tackle opposite me and gave me the hardest, toughest, all around rough and tumble scrap that I have ever participated in. I’d like to meet that man now. We’d have the longest confab that we’ve ever been in.” “I remember that game,” said the man on my left. “Landon’s work- ing for the United Motor Sales Co.—manager, I think.” “That fellow certainly does deserve what he gets. I am sure that he worked hard for all he got. Why, man, I wouldn’t mind working for him. If he’s as good a business man as he was a football player, he must be a wonder,” I replied. “Do you mean what you say?” he asked. “Now look here, stranger,” I replied angrily, “Don’t you call me a liar if you want to live in peace. When I say a thing, I mean it.” At this he smiled and said, “I think I can offer you a job as sales manager of the United Motor Sales Co.” I looked at him in astonishment and could scarcely utter the words, “Who are you, anyhow?” “Why,” he said, “My name’s Landon. Played tackle opposite you twelve years ago. You gave me twenty bumps and I gave you nineteen. If you accept I’m going to make it twenty all.” Edward Hollender, June, 1922. eight APPLIED ART “Many have eyes, but few see and understand.” Hence it is that we have a multitude of people who go through life with the impression that art is a subject remote from their interest; a study for only a special few; and even many who do feel an appreciation for it have the idea that art is very far removed from their personal capacity. But therein lies a misconception; for art is everywhere around us, can be introduced into all the walks of life and among all the classes of people. When the knowledge of the fundamental principles and rules of art are taught for practical use in every day things we employ the term “Applied Art.” In an “Applied Art” school one learns the basic colors, the combinations by which other colors are obtained, the colors in a graduated scale, and the colors which may be used together and how to use them harmoniously and artistically. Such knowledge will serve one well when problems of choosing house draperies, rugs, wall paper and other things arise. Clashing, or poorly selected colors are disquieting to the sight and it has often happened that poor work has resulted when performed in unharmonious surroundings; whereas good work was obtained when the same person performed it in carefully selected surroundings. Many judgments of character depend upon the taste shown in se- lecting colors. In clothing, flashing colors used with no moderation are a reflection of poor taste. We find many ways in which good taste, developed by a basic knowledge of colors, shows itself of much importance. When a man is choosing the paint for his house he would be doing well if he had developed good taste. The color of a house cannot be changed on the spur of the moment’s whim, and its relation to its surroundings, if harmonious or otherwise, does much to improve upon or detract from, the appearance of the neighborhood. Other details besides knowledge of color may be learned which one will find of practical, home value. Arrangement of objects in order to obtain a more pleasing effect is another of the fundamentals. When placing furniture in the new house, this knowledge of arrangement will help in securing an attractive and homelike atmosphere. Then, there are the rules of balance and of margin which one can apply every day. For example, in mounting pictures, there are certain rules pertaining to the margins which make a difference in the appear- ance of the picture as it hangs on the wall. Often people notice some- thing odd in the aspect of a picture but do not quite understand what it is. Someone who does will immediately surprise them by correcting the margin widths, thus changing the appearance of the picture. nine So it is that when one studies just a little bit of art one begins to realize that it is not a far off subject; rather, it can be brought right home to us. It introduces itself into our own personal possessions, invades our houses and yards, and greets us where we walk if we who have eyes but to see and understand. ISABELL BUCKWELL, Class of 1921. ¥ ¥ Inquiries into the Nature of an Optimist What is an optimist? Many people have an idea that they can answer that question, and yet very few answers agree. Usually our conception of an optimist is the one, seen every day, who says, “Oh, forget it, it’s all right,” or “Don’t worry, cheer up,” or “Remember, the worst is yet to come,” or some other worn-out expression of ag- gravating age; but is that conception correct? Is an optimist one who comforts by comparing the present seemingly bad conditions with the worst troubles that might be, who inspires a feeble feeling of encour- agement by cracking some aged joke, or who consoles you with the thought that you may be luckier “next time?” Far from it. Webster states, as his definition of an optimist, “One who believes that all things are for the good,” and this is a true thought, which, if carried con- tinually, will soon have its effect. By this line of thought, one will continually expand, be strengthened, and will learn to grow and profit by failures. Instead of thinking, “I can’t,” he will consider, “Why”— will try to figure out the causes of the failures, and will finally come to see that it is his own fault, his negligence, his inefficiency, or his inability. He will not wish, or hope, that “next time” he may do better, but by finding out the cause of the mistakes, will remedy them and thus strengthen himself mentally and physically. He will not go to his work with the disheartening thought, “I can’t,” but with the never- defeated feeling, the confidence and trust, that “It rests with me; I can try and shall succeed.” He who has faith in himself, and his methods, but has not over confidence; that man who strives honestly and gains a little each day; who profits by mistakes and knows it; who looks ahead, at brighter conditions; and never dwells in the depths of despair; he is the successful man; he is an Optimist.

Retold from an old Russian legend ELL, Mike, what it is that you want to know?” “Itz dis a way Mister Smith, ya kno’ das I’ma woiken harda to meka de livin’ and yet da clurka. Mister Williams, woika lesa harda dan me an he getza mucha mor’ monies. I vana kno’ how isa dat be.” “That’s true,” said Mr. Smith, “but if you do not see why it is so, I want you to come down to the office tomorrow morning and I will try to show you why.” “Alla rite,” said Mike, “Ise come mover termorrow morin.” “Good night, Mike.” “Sa long, Mister Smith.” A liitle information regarding the characters is due the reader. Mr. Smith was head of one of the lumber camps in Fall River City, Canada. He was a sociable fellow after working hours. During working hours he was very strict with men for he made them earn their wages. Mike Hogan, for that is Mike’s full name, was a common lumber jack in the camp. He had been working for a living ever since he could remember; his future held the same in store, for how would you expect an uneducated person to have any other future? Mike Hogan had recently thought of the question which we find him asking Mr. Smith. The next morning Mike Hogan came to the office of Mr. Smith who told Mike to sit down and wait as he had some important letters to write. Williams was also there. He was writing letters and puffing furiously on a big Havana cigar. Mike envied him greatly, and for that matter what hard working man wouldn’t like to change his posi- tion with Williams? “Say Williams,” said Smith as he put the letters away, I want you to go over to the camp and see what the men are doing.” After Williams left Smith turned to Mike and said, “Won’t you do an errand for me?” Vy satinly,” replied Mike, “vat is it?” “Come over here to the window. Do you see that group of trucks in the distance?” said Smith. eleven “I dose,” Mike answered. “Go over there and find out why the trucks are stopping there.” Mike returned after ten minutes absence and informed Mr. Smith that the trucks and men intend to camp there for the night. “Where are they going to?” asked Smith. “I don’t know.” “Go and find out.” Mike returned after acquiring his information. “They is goin’ ta Belvil,” he told Smith. “Where are they coming from?” “I didna ask ’em.” “Go again and find out.” “They came from de Caskaven Camp,” said Mike on returning the third time. “What have they in the trucks?” questioned Smith again. “I’l ga end eskem,” was the enlightment Mr. Smith received. And so Mike went back and forth asking one question per trip. After having made about ten trips Mr. Smith asked him to sit down for a moment. Shortly afterwards Williams returned and reported to his superior. “Now Williams,” said Smith, “do you see that group of trucks in the distance? Well, I want you to go over there and find out what they are doing there.” Mike Hogan sat there wondering why Smith was sending Williams to find out something which he had already learned for Mr. Smith. Hogan said nothing but waited for Williams’ report. The door opened a short time afterwards and Williams appeared. “Well, what did you find out?” asked Smith. “The trucks out there,” began Mr. Williams, “are camping there for the night. They are going to Belvil from the Caskavan camps. On the trucks they have some electric motors which save much time in cutting wood.” And so Williams kept on until he had informed Smith of all the information he had received. “All right, you may go,” said Smith to Williams after he had stopped talking. “Now Mike, you have seen and heard everything that was going on in the office until now. Am I right?” twelve even “Ya ar.” “So now you see why Williams’ salary is larger than yours though you work harder. I had to send you ten times to get me as much information as Williams did in one trip. I asked the same thing of Williams as of you and what was the result?” Mike Hogan now understood. He learned one thing which every- one knows and yet if they have the means to acquire it, they don’t get it. That is “EDUCATION.” “You promised to show me why,” said Mike after a slight pause in the conservation, “and you did.” “I thought you’d understand.” The plot of this tale is not only to show Mike why but also to show you readers why an educated person works less and receives a larger salary than an uneducated person. A word to the wise is sufficient,” or as they say it in French “II suffit d’un mot.” L.

The players at all times were full of “peP-” The high school students gave their earnest support to the teams. Basketball, this year, was played under immense difficulties to both players and students. The team, however, met with varying success but held its own. Considering both the advantages and disadvantages under which the team played, the season may be considered a success. fourteen Baseball seemed to arouse the most interest among the students. The sale of baseball tickets proved to be a success financially, showing that the school was back of the team. Due to the kindness of one of Clifton’s citizens the games have been played at Doherty's Oval, the finest in the State, which may account for some of the school interest.

Under skillful guidance men have been developed to that degree of perfection where they can show their heels to a great number of runners in this State. The team has entered numerous meets with success. The first two meets were in- tended to give the men experience. In the Princeton meet, Clifton took fourth place against the best high schools in Northern New Jersey. The feature event of the track season was Field Day held June 1, at Olympic Park. All the students in high school were eligible to enter. Medals were presented to the first and second men in each event. The following received medals: Senior Events winner SECOND 100 Yard Dash.

Hot dog sales, held weekly since January, have maintained the health of the treasury. The cost of a free dance given in May, was defrayed by the sale of refreshments donated by the members of the class. In response to a request made by Mr. Nutt for library donations, the class voted to give $10; and the regular “ad” in the REFLECTOR was also subscribed. At the June Field Meet, the class secured 12 points, and succeeded in tying, in a few events. Generally speaking, the year has been profitably employed, and the class feels that it has made the most of its second High School year. On the evening of March 7th and the afternoon and evening of March 8th, 1921, the 4-2 Class of Clifton High School gave a circus in the High School Building. Two main performances were given each evening in the assembly hall. One matinee performance was given on Friday the 8th. Side shows held in the various rooms added much to the entertainment of those present. Refreshments of all sorts were served in some of the rooms and “hot dogs” were sold in the corridors. Music was furnished during the course of the evening for dancing. For those who desired “a glimpse into the future,” two veritable for- tune tellers were present. The Senior 2 Class took a trip on May 25th. They left Clifton on the 8.01 train and arriving in New York boarded a sight-seeing bus which took them through down-town and up-town New York. They had lunch at the Automat, after which they went to the Belasco Theatre where they enjoyed the matinee performance of the “Bat.” After the play the class visited St. Patrick’s Cathedral and then dined at an Italian restaurant. Next they took a subway up to 125th Street and the Fort Lee Ferry for Palisades Park. An enjoyable evening was spent here by everyone. On account of the long distance home they left the park at an early hour. seventeen The Junior 2 Class held a dance on Friday evening, April 22, at Masonic Hall. It was a success both socially and financially. Re- freshments, consisting of punch and ice cream, were served. The music was furnished by Healy’s Orchestra. The Junior 2 Prom which was held at Masonic Hall, Friday even- ing, May 1 3, was a decided success. The hall was very effectively decorated in green and white, the class colors. In spite of the rainy weather, a very large crowd attended. Punch was served. The Liberty Jazz Orchestra furnished the fine music, which helped to make the affair a success. During the past term the Junior 2 Class held a number of fruit sales. Apples and oranges were sold to the students at reasonable prices. These sales helped in increase the class funds. Plans are being made by the Junior 2 Class for a trip up the Hud- son, sometime after the examinations. This will be the last event of the class this year ¥ The Junior 3-1 Class held their first evening dance, Friday evening. May 6. It was a great success. The 2-1 Class, this term, as in the year before, held a Rosebush Sale, and the profits, due to the excellent quality of the bushes, were far more than those of the previous year. On the first Wednesday in April, the class gave an afternoon dance, which was well attended and proved to be a success. On the 22nd of June the two year business students will be the guests of the four year students on a trip up the Hudson to West Point. ¥ The Freshmen 1-2 Class held a very enjoyable afternoon dance this last semester. Refreshments were sold and the peanut hunt was a big success. It must also be said that the Freshmen 1-2 Class had the highest point in the Field Day Meet. ¥ The Freshmen 1-1 of Clifton High School gave an afternoon dance during the month of April, 1921. Punch and cake were sold, and music was furnished by Miss Spencer and Miss G. Conners. eigli teen TM Healy has a new car, which was guaranteed as follows: (1) To go like the wind, but every time he took it out there was no wind to be had. (2) To be of 45 horse power, but when he bought it he found that half of the horses had died, and the other half were already dying. (3) To be a runabout. It surely was a runabout. It would run about a mile and then stop. (4) To match with any $5,000 car. (???????) (5) To be in good condition if it was never used. Information Please Is HaroIdBrown? Is Richard White? Is Madie Green? Is Clara Sharp? Does Margaret Russell? Is Florence A Lane? Is Russell Jack’s son? Is Cora E’ Hill? If Gertie left us would Arthur Plog? “Mr. Howell would be easy to rob.” “Why?” “Because his locks are few.” To the Boys of Clifton High If ever in need of players on your baseball team, just come around to the 3-2 girls in room 26 during lunch period and ask Mr. Derr for recommendation. Mr. Erber certainly is a favorite with three of the Junior 2 girls. Tell us how you do it, Lewis. I wonder if Mr. Nichol’s hand ever gets tired cranking his watches? I wonder why Emma Mohlenhoff was so interested in the tug-o’- war between firemen and policemen at the Field Meet. Ask her; there’s a reason. Lost: Miss Van Cleve’s handkerchiefs. Found: In Mr. Riley’s pockets. nineteen I wonder who had first claim on Chingy Riley? We wonder how Miss Bennett stays in Room 26, third period, now that Mr. Meyers has gone. When one mentions RATS nowadays the girls don’t jump on a chair but feel for their hair. What’s going to happen? Mr. Nichols hasn’t used his Eversharp for a few days. In Room 20 Miss Jackson: “Boys, keep quiet.” Brown: “Miss Jackson, can I speak to Sutter?” Miss Jackson: “No, I have a class and there will be no talking. Brown: “Then can Sutter speak to me?” Miss Jackson: “Yes.” Why doesn’t Mike Shershin show up to the dances in his flashy suit? Miss Smith: “Jorlett, what poem did you select?” Jorlett: “The Skylark, by Shelley.” Miss Smith: “What do you know about Shelley?” Jorlett: “Noth------Oh! he wrote the poem.” Someone in the corridor was moving the book cases. Brandell remarked that it reminded him of the H. S. Orchestra. He has a wonderful ear for music. Teacher: “Where do bugs go in winter?” Pupil (absentmindedly) : “Search me.” Miss Georgette Connors is quite dramatic. At a recent baseball game she was heard to exclaim, “Oh! My hopes are quenched.” Bill Mair has captured another “Fair Lady’s” heart. How do you do it, Billy? The Community Civics Class had been talking of taxes when some- one remarked the existence of an “heir” tax. Miss Kallen must have misunderstood for she exclaimed: “An air tax? Why, how ridiculous. twenty Question: What are the consequences of having a good time in Community Civics? Answer: An afternoon tea party. Can you beat it? Goellner says you can buy electricity by the quart. “The world is still deceived with ornament.” Who would have ever thought that Adelaide Hazel could ever act as lively as she did on that trip to New York? An Inquisitive One: “Muller, how is it your hair stands so erect?” Muller: “I never comb it.” (It speaks for itself. Jack.) “He! Marbleu!” shouted Miss Smith in reading an exciting para- graph in “Le Roi de Montagnes.” A Freshman stood up terrified and said, “Gee! I thought you were speaking to me.” What would happen if Collester, Jr., ever went to a game and didn’t wear those orange and purple stockings? A red Chalmers car with white wheels just naturally seems to wend its way up to Miss Stewart’s house. We wonder why? Mr. Collester, Sr. (with the poets) : “I see you profit by the words that drop from my lips.” Why does Collester pass Miss Hoffman’s room every day during the 7th period? Who is she. Collie? Miss Wallace: “Why does the U. S. Government send our weather reports?” Mr. Battel: “Because the farmers might have something in the fields that they don’t want to get wet.” Miss Servis: “Give a use for hemp.” Venus Eyers: “They make cigars of it.” Irene Bentley is a terribly noisy girl: She combs her hair in Bangs! When the girls try to thank Mr. Howell for the ride to school in the morning, he always protests by saying, “Don’t mention it.” Mr. Green was so overcome with emotion when he discovered Helen Borneman was behind, he fell upstairs. Where did Sauer get his black eye? Perhaps Tarris can tell. twenty-one Conversation Heard Between Cross and Habeingrither Topic—“Girls Bobbing Their Hair” Cross: “Gee! Cooty garages are bad enough, but bobbed hair— Gee!” Habeingrither: “Gosh! They must curl it every two hours!” It seems that Jules Genthon knows nearly every girl in Clifton. Mr. Nichols: “Be sure you get that r the right length in rice; otherwise it will look like 1.” “Oh, Mr. Nichols, what would the word be then?” Ask Miss Kretchmar and Miss Jaugstetter about the box of candy they dropped twice in the Lexington Theatre. Of course we know that Miss Wilson loves to ride to school in a certain Junior's auto, but she doesn t have to try to make the girls jealous. We all want to know where Mr. Amato obtained his great dancing ability. Tell us, Mike, we want to learn. Mr. Wellenkamp seems to like Harriets the best. Ask him what we mean—he knows. Heard in Miss Jackson’s 4th period class on Friday while she was in the hall: Mikulik (shouting): “Hey! Howard.” Howard: “What?” Mikulik: “No school tomorrow.” Howard: “Why?” Class: “He! ha! ha! tomorrow is Saturday.” Why is Miss Musson so kind to her seventh period? Explain yourself. Miss Musson. Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said. When he bumped his shin against the bed: Blankety! Blank! Blank! Blank!!! He: “John stutters terribly.” She: “Always?” He: “No, just when he talks.” twenty-two Father: “I’m ashamed that you cry like that because a bee stung you! Why don’t you act like a man?” Son: “Yes, and if I’d act like a man, you’d whip me for using that kind of language.” Parent: “Why did you keep my son after school when he did nothing?” Miss Smith: “I detained him because he would not tell me the present tense of avoir. He just stood and looked at me.” Parent: “He was dumfounded at your ignorance.” Who put the horseshoe in Bennie’s pocket at the Butler game? Heard from Hobie: “Now Lawyer didn’t run that race scien- tifically, etc.” Found: Another grand opera star—Senor Vasylinko. Goellner had decided to go into business as a barber when he leaves school!

What would Mr. Collester’s 7th period geometry class do if they did not have Uhlig and Katterman give their giggling performances. Miss Wallace: “Of what use are light houses and life buoys?” Victor Mattia (repeating question: “Of what use are light houses and little boys?” We would like to have the answer. According to Miss Marks, Mr. Collester always gives her just the part she can’t do. It’s exasperating to the last degree! Isn’t it, Clara? It’s too bad Bonitz has to carry his books to the blackboard when he corrects his sentences in Spanish class. Miss Berry specializes in Joe’s. She dances with Tarris and plays tennis with McFerran. “Say, Uhlig, you’re so wise you think Rex Beach is a summer resort.” Uhlig: “Well, what else is it?” The Agony Trio gave a concert on the return trip from the field meet at Columbia University. Baseball Record as posted: Clifton—ate, Gen Ridge—tree. twenty-lluee Heard in Commercial Law Class Miss Lane: “What is an installment sale?” Miss Gaffey: “A dollar down and a dollar when your conscience hurts you.” Junior: “Do you like fish balls?” Freshie: “I don’t know, I never attended any.” Senior: “Did you put anything in the REFLECTOR box this term?” Freshie: “Yes, two cents, but no gum came out. I say, the box must be broken or do you have to put nickels in?” The Lat. 3-1 Class is so sociably inclined that every once in a while Mr. Collester has to coax them to give up their distant seats and come and sit in one group. Student: “Why do words have roots?” Second Student: “I suppose so that the language can grow.” Cemetery’s Intentions John: “Where have you been. Bill?” Bill: To the cemetery.” John: Anyone dead?” Bill: “Everyone of them.” Freshman 1-1: “Aw, shut up.” Freshman 1-2: “You’re the biggest boob in the school.” Teacher: “Boys, don’t forget I’m here.” Soph. Girl: “What vivid neckties Healy wears! They’re simply dazzling.” Junior: “Yes his idea seems to be: Best is the tie that blinds.” Father: “How do you stand in school?” Son: “In the corner most of the time.” A few brilliant questions and answers for Mr. Edison: 1. What are our roads improved for? Flivers. 2. What is the water power of Clifton? The Weasel Brook. 3. Name some uncivilized part of the world? Delawanna. 4. Where does most of our furniture come from? Berdan’s. Freshman: “Yes, Dad, I’m a big gun up there at Clifton High.”- Dad: “Well then why don’t I hear better reports.” twenty-four Mr. Derr (picking up a Physics book and finding C. Riley and M. Cook written several times on its pages) : “Whose book is this any- way?” Katherine V. C. seems more interested in boys than in lessons this term. We might add that her interest is returned. We wonder how E. S. enjoys third period French every day? He has five girls and Miss Smith to keep him company. The following was scheduled on the board in Miss Wallace s room.

And when the bus comes You find that it is crowded. You quickly grope in the air For the bar to hold on When you miss it And your hand drops On a lady’s hat And hat-pin While you yell And everyone in the bus Looks at you. You are in agony Standing in the crowd When the bus turns a corner And you land in someone’s lap And jump up quicker than you sat down Only to jam into someone else. And at the next turn You are prepared And grab for the bar Only to miss it The second time And slap A bald man’s head Who is holding his hat Because he cannot keep it on Because of the crowd. And then you see It is time for you to get off And you shout out the street Ten times And finally The driver hears you. And you push Through the crowd Stepping on everyone’s feet But your own. When at last you reach the door And stumble out. Aint it a grand and glorious feelin’? J. M. Troyan, Junior 1. twenty-nine WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF Miss Thienes forgot to smile at Quinlan?

If you haven’t said a word for the whole period and you just begin to say two words, you get caught in the act. When you haven’t done your homework you are called on. When you have done your work, you don’t get called on. When you least expect it, the teacher gives a test. When you have a holiday, enough homework is piled on to last the holiday and a few days over. When you’re absent, something exciting happens. When you’re here, not a darn thing happens. Gosh! aint it an awful world. SIMPLE JOHNNY As Mother Clifford was serving dinner there was a clatter of wooden shoes on the cobbles outside the door. The farmers all turned to see what was the matter. Simple Johnny stood there hanging on the door, his yellow hair covering his scarlet face. He had run until he could scarcely talk. thirty “Come!” “Where?” said one of the farmers, taking a spoonful of soup. “Out into the lane. I upset the load of hay. My horse fell, and a wheel flew off.” “You’re a good fellow,” said Mother Clifford, “Let the men eat first.” But Simple Johnny stuck his fists to his eyes to keep back the tears. “I—I—can’t. Father wouldn’t like it!” Tbe farmers argued with h'm and teased him saying, “Father wouldn’t like it.” “Well,” said the farmers, “If that’s the way you feel about it, we’ll come.” When they reached the lane, they found that Johnny had already unharnessed the horse and had tied him to a fence. The wagon lay on its side, with one wheel off, and the hay lay in a great mound about the wagon. “Well, well,” began one of the farmers, “all this might have kept until we had finished our dinner in--------.” But before he had stopped speaking the great mound of hay by the wagon began to move a little, as if it were shaken by a small earthquake. The farmers stared, and one of the men gave a yell, and ran up to it and began to pull away great armfuls of hay. “Johnny,” said the farmer, “where’s your father?” Before Johnny answered, a mop of grizzled hair was sticking through the hay. “I told you,” sobbed Simple Johnny, “that Father wouldn t like it if I stayed to dinner.” DEDICATED TO LOUIS DE VIDO You scarcely discernible little section of humanity!

Evidently news of some sort concerning our behavior had preceded us for during the first few days of our sojourn there such a grave, solemn, quiet atmosphere prevailed that we were scared into ideal behavior. It was apparent that some sort of a calamity was expected but when at the end of the second week nothing out of the ordinary had happened, the faculty and student body breathed a sigh of relief and settled down to their usual routine, the student body somewhat disappointed to find that we were not in the least ambitious to “start something,” so to speak. Our class was so extremely large that our first class meeting was held in the old assembly hall. Mr. Snyder, who left us about two years ago, was chosen our first president, and under him our first year was comparatively smooth and easy in its course. We did not attempt to take our place in the social world of the school, being under the impression that Freshmen didn’t do those things. At the beginning of our Sophomore term Mr. Hobleman had the honor of being made our president and it was during this year that we gave our first social affair. A party was given in June of that year at which the Principal and teachers of the faculty were enter- tained as guests. We had many disputes over class colors that year and it wasn’t until our Junior year, with Mr. Kroder as president, that green and gold were finally and definitely decided upon. We gave several affairs under his leadership, among them an evening dance and an afternoon entertainment that were very successful. The fol- lowing June we gave our Prom, which was pronounced a success by all. The hall was very prettily decorated in green and gold (our class colors) and our pennant was put up for the first time. Singularly, the class did not display its changeable nature in its Senior year for it began by reelecting Mr. Kroder as president. As per form, our Senior year has been the most eventful of all. Except- ing a dance that was given in the fall of that year, nothing really im- portant socially was done until we gave our circus in April—and such a circus! Everybody agreed that we rivaled Barnum Bailey’s and declared that we should make it our profession. Perhaps, if we are so talented, some of us mil join a circus. Who knows? thirty-four Owing to a lack of funds our class did not follow the example set by the previous class by taking a trip to Washington. It was unanim- ously agreed that under the circumstances the most sensible and prac- tical thing to do was to take a trip nearer home, and accordingly such a trip was planned. We set out on the morning of May 25th, in a very questioning frame of mind, for it was raining hard with no signs of letting up, and we had a sight-seeing trip through New York be- fore us. However, we took that trip, about four hours in the rain, and if we were all not as comfortable as we would have liked to be, not a grumble was heard. In the afternoon the class went to see “The Bat,” which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. After dinner we took the shortest route to Palisades and since the weather had cleared in the afternoon it was, so to speak, the end of an almost perfect day. Now we are ending our four year stay in Clifton High School and if it hasn’t been a perfect one for our Principal and the faculty it has been a happy, profitable one for the twenty-five who here extend their best wishes for the continued success of all the Juniors and 4-1 Seniors. And if the example we have set hasn’t been a good one we hope that the under-classmen will not follow it.

What brings you here?” Gertrude Warburton: “There was no rehearsal of the opera this afternoon and I thought I would find out what all these rumors are about.” Margaret Pellegrine: “Oh, you mean the ‘Soda Water Scandal.’ Well, I’ll read you the article as the reporter has written it. ‘Due to the cleverness of certain members of the U. S. Revenue Department the greatest violation of the 39th amendment has been unearthed. ‘The 39th amendment was introduced into the U. S. Congress by Senators Bonetti and E. Mohlenhoff, the leaders of the Senate ma- chine. The bill declares it unlawful to manufacture soda water to be used as a beverage.’ (Who would have thought of Catherine Bonetti and Emma Mohlenhoff as fiery tongued politicians? Shades of C. H. S. ‘The capture was brought about by the ingenuity of Detective John Celentano, assisted by Revenue Officer Margaret Gaffey.’ (How could the aspiring John Celentano become a detective? Margaret Gaffey always was curious in High which may account for her being a female Sherlock Holmes.) ‘Three men in a high powered Kessel Kar manufactured by L. H. Kessler Co., were pursued to the banks of a river by the two de- tectives. (So Lewis Kessler is still at his old hobby, making auto- mobiles.) The three men were attacked while loading a quantity of soda water on a yacht. One of the men escaped but the other two, together with the yacht owner, were taken into custody. The two men proved to be Alfred Hobleman and Edgar Kroder, both of whom had had a hand in manufacturing the beverage. It seems that Alfred Hobelman conducted the chemical part of the manufacture and Edgar Kroder, the mechanical. (Alfred Hobelman always a fanatic for chemistry in school while Edgar Kroder received his mechanical ex- perience running Fords.) The yacht owner was Richard Brookman, the New York society man. (So the bashful Richard is a social lion.) ‘The violators were brought before the Supreme Court, Justice Spindel presiding. (Try to picture Morris Spindell in judical robes.) Richard White appeared as lawyer for the defendants. (Richard always tried to bluff his way through history which may help him in bluffing his clients out of tight places.) Walter Reasor, the United States Attorney, appeared as prosecuting attorney. (To think that thirty-six Walter could never be convinced and now he is trying to convince others.) ‘The third man, who escaped, was later captured in company with Cecil Miller and Irene Kesse, the well known musical comedy stars. (Who would have thought of Cecil and Irene as actresses—but they must have taken correspondence courses in acting.) The third man proved to be Joseph Jorlett, the master mind of the illicit operation. (Joseph had a vast business experience in high school and to think that he is using it for unlawful purposes.) ‘Brookman was the first witness called, and testified that the soda water was to be delivered to Keppler Co., manufacturing druggists, to be used in making Keppler’s Kandy Korn Kure. (So Charlie is still a druggist.) ‘The next two witnesses were Helen Smith and Louise Quackenbush, two government chemists, who testified that they had analyzed the soda water and found that it was violating the law. (Everyone knew that Helen and Louise loved chemistry in high school.) ‘The next witness was Mildred Finehout, the cook on Brookman’s yacht. (Mildred always was a good cook; she first made her repu- tation cooking hot dogs at our circus.) She and Louise Mohlenhoff, the waitress on the yacht, testified that the soda water was to be used as a beverage on a trip to Cuba which Brookman and a group of society friends, including Helen Rahm and Ethel Sutton, were to take. ‘The evidence was conclusive and Hobelman, Kroder, Jorlett and Brookman were sentenced to ten years in jail by the heartless Justice Spindell. ‘The finger prints and photographs of the men were taken by Isabel Buckwell, the renowned artist, after which the prisoners were sent to their cells.’ “That is all I know, but the reporter, Alma Swindenhamer, may know more; I will call her.” (Enter Alma Swindenhamer) “Why, hello Gertrude! How glad I am to see you.” Gertrude Warburton: “We were just discussing this article and thought that you might be able to add something interesting.” Alma Swindenhamer: “There is only one other person whom you know that was connected with the trial. Adelaide Hazel was the unassuming court stenographer. But doesn’t it seem strange that fifteen years after graduation our classmates should again become connected?” Gertrude Warburton: “Indeed it does. I must be going now but I want you two to dine with me next week.” Exit. thirty-seven thirl y-eiyht THE CLASS WILL E, THE CLASS OF 1921, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this, our Last Will and Testament in order to distribute our interests in Clifton High School among succeeding fellow students. FIRST. To our teachers and principal, we leave our deep appre- ciation for all they did in our behalf. To the Class of 1922 we bequeath our good will, our successes and our blunders, and our agreeable and friendly spirit, to have and to hold forever. Special Bequests We the Class of 1921 desire to give and bequeath special charac- teristics of each individual member of our class, to the members of the Class of 1922, who, we hope, will not only appreciate them, but will also derive due benefits from them. Helen Rahm, Charles Keppler, and Edgar Kroder leave to Anna Boschen their boisterousness, to bring their store to an average. Alma Swindenhamer, Emma Mohlenhoff and John Celentano be- queath to Gladys Valerius a few inches of their height. Adelaide Hazel, Mildred Finehout, and Irene Kesse leave their meekness in class to Molly Karp. Isabel Buckwell and Joseph Jorlett gladly will their pep to Eliza- beth Conkling. The rosy complexions of Cecil Miller and Morris Spindell are reck- lessly bequeathed to Herman Bonitz. Catherine Bonetti and Margaret Pellegrine leave their ability in Latin translation to Bancroft. Louise Mohlenhoff, Margaret Gaffey, and Gertrude Warburton be- queath to Dluhy their acute sense of humor. A big part of their composure Louise Quackenbush and Walter Reasor generously give to Joe Tarris. To Pontier, Alfred Hobelman, and Harry Kessler leave part of their ability to bluff—with the hope that his supply will be complete enough to last him the rest of his days. To Carlson, Ethel Sutton bequeaths her powder puff, in the hope that he might protect and preserve his beautiful complexion. thirty-nine Richard White bequeaths and wills his gentleness and softness of tone to Catherine Hilton. Generously, Helen Smith wills her pleasing fluent manner of speech to Emil Sauer. To Cyril Smith is willingly given some of Richard Brookman’s aloofness from girls. We hereby appoint our esteemed and cherished friend, Walter F. Nutt, to be Executor of this, our Last Will and Testament. In WITNESS Whereof, we have hereunto subscribed oui name, and affixed our seal, the seventeenth day of June, in the year one thousand nine hundred twenty-one. THE CLASS OF 1921. Subscribed by the Class of 1921, the testator named in the fore- going Will, in the presence of each of us, and at the time of making such subscription, the above instrument was declared by the said Testator t“ be the Last Will and Testament, and in the presence of each other, signed our names as witnesses thereto.
