THE REFLECTOR Does history repeat itself? We’ll say it floes. For, once again our football team has kept its slate clean. Mr. Nutt, our indefatigable principal, was largely responsible for the success of the team representing his school. He was regarded by the team as one of the players, for he was with them at every game, and always saw to it that his boys received a square deal. When he told his boys to play clean at all costs, they did, or died trying, as was shown at the Orange game. Coach Hurlburt worked incessantly on the material he had at the start of the season and moulded it into a strong, smooth running ma- chine deserving of the name by which it was often called during the season—“Ilurlburt’s Gridders.” CLIFTON VS.

THE REFLECTOR every day since school opened the same girls have stood behind these counters? These girls have given up their lunch period to wait on YOU. They’re always therewith a smile and quick service. Give them the courtesy due them and realize that they get no compensation but the pleasure of knowing that they are contributing their services to one of the school’s most useful activities. M. Adele Haitinger. To the Editor of the Reflector: One often hears of Clifton’s wonderful record of clean sportsmanship, of its skilful players, of its perseverance in the face of de- feat, of its bulldog tactics when the game is lost. This praise has always been handed to. the boys. But how about the. girls? Don’t they deserve a little of it? Look at the push and help they gave to enable Clifton to be- come the first possessor of the silver cup dur- ing the interscholastic meet at the Paterson Armory. The boost they gave their Alma Mater came in the form of 29 points, 29 points! Don't you call that pretty good ? I think it is about time we give our girls a little praise. Otto Fischer. • • L L. . . . To the Editor of the Reflector; Last night’s sport sheet gave the list of winners of girls’ basket ball teams of the dif- ferent high schools. Clifton was not’ repre- sented. The boys have teams for almost everything imaginable. They think we are unable to do such things but iwe brought out their weak spots at the armory, when we helped to bring home the cup. There are several good players and I’m sure each class is able to have a good first and second team. Come on, girls! Speak to Miss Musson about it and we’ll soon start something. Maidie Green. To the Editor of the Reflector: Dear Sir: “Why not a Dramatic Club at Clifton High School ?” is a familiar question in the class rooms and corridors. And why not, indeed ? Expense for a coach ? Not at all; our own capable English teach- ers would do perfectly well if the pupils would respond—and respond they would. Result? Better times, beter English, better school standard. F. W. Kievit, ’23. To the Editor of the Reflector: ■ ' : ’ As a member of the 4-2 Class I wish to extend most sincere thanks and appreciation ; to those of your readers who helped make : “Springtime” a success. , Ouj- appreciation is • also extended to the members of the faculty whose kind suggestions and willing attendance helped toward our big. success. j To Miss Sharp% we are deeply grateful, because it was really she who provided a means whereby we, could secure the necessary funds for our trip to Washington. . Lydia M. Brunt, ’23. To the Editor of the Reflector: As a student of the present American Democracy Class, 1 would like to piake at j appeal regarding the use of library books fpr. reference work in that subject. Our library is growing rapidly, but at [ires- ‘ ent we have not obtained a sufficient number of books on social problems to furnish every; student with an individual text; therefore there must be some ruling regarding the use of; reference books. As I understand it, no one is permitted to keep a book that has been - placed on the reserve shelf out of the library during any period of the day—excepting with special permission, and then the book must be- signed for. ' Our class is large,'land the coming- classes' are exacted to be larger. Very often,.th tc. is only one book on a subject that the who'ei class is held responsible for. How will the rest of the class get their work done if the book is missing? Where will they find the guilty party if the book has not been signed up? What will be the result? Who will be held responsible? Who should be held re-i sponsible? ,n Remember—there are' more people than one in a Democracy Class that are required to gel 2 points in that subject in order to- ofetariv a high school diploma.

SOUTH SIDE NEWMAN PREP THE REFLECTOR Saturday, September 30th, the Clifton foot- ball team, accompanied by a strong squad of rooters, travelled to The City Field, Newark, and defeated the Southside aggregation to the tune of 19-12 in one of the best games played on that field. Our first score of the season was made by “Art” Argauer, who received a forward pass and raced fifty yards for a touchdown. In the second period Vine. Chimenti intercepted a forward and tore sixty yards for the second score of the game. “Rummy” Bednarcik dis- played a wonderful exhibition of open field running which was a deciding factor in the victory. At one time he raced sixty-five yards but was downed ten yards from the goal line. Another who deserved praise was Weber; his work on the defensive at half-back was great. Our boys emerged free from injuries and confident of a straight row of victories for another season. CLIFTON THE LINE-UPS SOUTH SIDE Argauer Left End Green Left Tackle ..

In this game our famous leader George Quinlan displayed his ability in line plunder- ing, tearing through Irvington’s line for gains at will. Every man on the squad played well and showed his ability in this game. On November 14th, the Newman Prep eleven visited the Clifton High School grid- iron for our first home game of the season. The line’s defensive work was the outstand- ing feature of the game. Riley, De Lorenzo, Plog, Ziegler, Le Grande, Weber and Feld- man composed the stonewall defense. The game ended in a decisive victory for the Ma- roon and Gray. 20-0. CLIFTON THE LINE-UPS NEWMAN PREP.

The feature of this game was the Maroon and Gray’s aerial attack. “Ching” Riley showed his ability in picking the pig- skin from midair at all angles and running for long gains. The line displayed its usua' de- fense and the backfield its wonderful aggres- siveness. CLIFTON THE LINE-UPS HEMPSTEAD Riley Weber Left End Plog Left Tackle Ziegler Left Guard Le Grande ..
