Our discouragements, our toils, and our triumphs, as we watched our paper grow, are all over. Those never to be forgotten experiences—for who could forget the sickening sense of disappointment which swept over us when we realized that the spark of life which we had carefully nurtured in our paper was about to die for lack of fuel, or ads, and our boundless joy when the entire school rallied to our support with ads galore?—are now but memories. All of reality that remains of our reign is our paper, which it is now our pleasure and honor to present to the school. If the paper i3 not up to your standards, we know you will overlook its shortcomings; for it is natural to forgive those we love, and you have given ample proof of your affection for your paper. But while you may forgive, do not forget these mistakes, for in your hands lies the fate of succeeding issues of the Reflector; and while we fervently hope you will consider our Reflector the “best ever.” we also hope that the next issue and the next will be better still.” You see, we wish you not to praise and honor us, but to join us in the glorification of our Re- flector. Alice A. Hornby, February ’25. TO THE STUDENTS This article was originally intended to liter- ally belabor the school for its neglect and its failure in getting behind the Reflector. But subsequent happenings have indeed made this unnecessary. Students, the Reflector which you hold in your hand is like a human being recovered from a deadly illness which threatened its life. Saved from the grave, we might say, by the heroic'efforts of Dr. School Spirit. Nor is this an exaggeration. At one point our Reflector was on its death bed, dying of starvation, of lack of sufficient pecuniary aid to keep it alive. But, lo, assistance was at hand, though in a dormant state. The school, learning of the dire condition of the paper awoke to its responsi- bility and sprang into action. Sustenance in the form of ads was brought to the invalid, and strength and vitality returned. So. students, we still have our Reflector, just as big and strong as ever, we hope, in spite of its convalescense. And its success is due to the splendid response of the school body to the last desperate appeal for aid. Without that whole-hearted support during the crisis, this issue would have been impossible. We of the staff, who saw impending disaster staring us in the face, are especially thankful for the fine PAGE NINE THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY. 1925 spirit displayed by the students. Special commendation is due the members of the Senior 4-2 class who started the ball rolling with a pledge of one hundred dollars. The Senior 4-1 class was quick to fall in line with an offer to raise another hundred. The rest of the school was not far behind. Splendid spirit was displayed by the pupils of the sixth period 2-1 English class. In a con- test between boys and girls, these loyal students raised $116. The girls in Room 25 instituted the section room ads, and collected $57 in this wav. With such an enthusiastic effort, suffi- cient funds were soon obtained. Now that all anxiety is over we can think of the past events with a certain thrill of pleasure instead of alarm. The situation was really thrilling, hut the feeble constitution of the staff cannot endure many such sensations. So, stu- dents. let’s not wait next time until we are asked to help. Let’s pitch in at the start, and put the Reflector across with less regard for dramatic appeal. And if we do so, we’ll surely get the same feeling of satisfaction, the same “kick,” that we are getting now. And perhaps even more. M. Cantor, June '25. Dear Contributors: I’m not going to stop to thank you for what you have given us, but just take it to heart that we are mighty pleased with you. If you have handed in a contribution that has been accepted, do another for the next num- ber. Don’t stop there and think that your duty is over—or, rather, don’t think that the term of your privilege has expired. It never does— not until you have turned your back on Clif- ton High, never to walk within it again. 1 f you have handed in an article that was not printed, try, try again. Perhaps we liked it but couldn't use it. Don’t say, “Aw, I worked an hour and a half last time for the Reflector and they didn’t even give my work a show.” You will be wrong there. Everything from the big- gest story to the tiniest joke is given due con- sideration. Be a sport! Write some more! M. E. Craig, February, '25. A SUGGESTION What do we need in Clifton High School? Arc other high schools going ahead of us in branches where we perhaps could excel? If they are, let’s get busy. What about debating? Clifton High School has never had a debating team. We have our athletic teams which settle the question of vic- tory or defeat by physical prowess; why not a team to prove whether or not we have the mental edge on our opponents? .Judging from past performances on athletic fields, lack of ar- gumentation is not wanting, nor is there any lack of enthusiasm about the arguments. But— there is a time and a place for everything. Why not convert this tendency into more useful channels where its true worth will be appreciat- ed? In the olden days when church and state did not appear to go hand in hand some w'ise per- sons separated them. That’s what should be done to the sports and debating in Clifton High. Have a separate team for each, since either one, when coupled with the other, is not what might be called a success. But more seriously—we are behind the times in this respect. Other schools half our size are turning out teams of interseholastic competi- tion. and there is no reason why a school of our standing should not do so too. The new Clifton High School will open its doors in the fall. Let’s put this affair over with a bang, and have plans under way so that we can start things right in our new building. A debating team is an asset to any scholastic institution. It’s an idea. Think it over and then—ACT. Lee Adams, 4-1.

When I first entered high school, I fooled away my time, and I’m still fooling it away. The new system, the greater liberties, of which I took an unfair advantage, proved my undo- ing. Now, in my final year, I’m paying the penalty—a penalty which becomes harder each succeeding year. Perhaps you are fooling too, but you also will have to pay the penalty of which you know so little at present, but will experience with a pang of regret later. Now you say you’re getting away with it. True, you are for the time being; but you are only harming yourself. Often my teachers and Mr. Nutt have told me what I am telling you. They had had the ex- perience, and were trying to make me profit bv it; but youth so often will not listen, taking only experience as a teacher—a bitter teacher, and harder by far, as I have well found out. However, I’m not crying—not at all—but merely giving you a word that you may be wiser than I. You laugh, and you well may, lest the time to cry come sooner than you know. Respect your teachers, and Mr. Nutt es- pecially. If you are willing to work, he will do anything in his power for you. I have found him fair, square, honest, and in all respects a man to whom you may go with your troubles. He is trying to send you ahead, manages the school with ability, has many responsibilities, .and is, in my estimation, the best principal Clifton could have. Sacrifice other things for your studies, if you must. Boost the school— but not too noisily, in school, as I did. Support the teams to the best of your ability. Start the new High School right, and practice this ad- vice in the old. This is all I can say. The rest is for your own judgment. May it be fair. Remember, do the right thing to others and they will do the right thing to you. E. Homberg. A WORD FROM THE SCHOOL PAPER I f you a poem can give me, Or advice to me will lend, Come right up to my editor, Or your contribution send. I need my friends to help me With story, wit, or rhyme. To make me more appealing Each succeeding time. So then, just come right forward, And show what you can do,— For I am your school paper And I in representing—you. A. Crowther, June ’25. TO GREET YOU We greet you as before! And we hope that we won’t bore You with our book. In fact, We hope you’ll find it packed From the front right to the back. And nothing may it lack. But now we wish to thank All those on whom we bank. In whatever way or line, To make our book so fine. We hope you’ll help again,— We’ll let you know just when. Margaret Craig, February ’25. OBLIGING “I want a cake of soap, if you plaze, sor.” “Scented or unscented?’’ “Thank ye kindly, sor, I’ll take it wid me.” PAGE ELEVEN THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON IIIGII SCII O O L F E II R U A R Y. 19 2 5 A HIDE AM) SEEK IVAGER As evening approached, all appearances led to the belief that Southern England was soon to be in the siege of another heavy mist and fog cloud. These periods caused great depres- sions in the business of the inflicted areas, for the people were wont to remain in the security of their homes because the danger of robbery was ever present to both the pedestrians and the storekeepers. No sooner had night fallen than a plainly- dressed, elderly man sauntered in a leisurely manner from the lobby of a cheap hotel in a lowly district in Southampton. At the side- walk he halted and gazed up and down the street as though undecided in which direction to go. Though he finally decided to go towards the city, what he had seen had in no way in- fluenced his decision, for the gathering fog to- gether with the darkness of night made it quite impossible to see for any great distance. He had traversed but a few steps when a rolly- po’.ly individual slowly slipped out of a neigh- boring hall way and proceeded to follow that elderly gentleman. “Yah, dey make goot beer in Milwaukee,” he chuckled. He scurried across the street as he noticed the elderly man hailing a passing taxicab. The gentleman seemed to have chang- ed his mind; perhaps the weather was too nasty for walking. At any rate, he seated himself as comfortably as was possible in such rocking cabs, and through the mouthpiece directed the driver to Dock----of the Cunard Line. After what seemed to be endless rocking and jolting, the cab finally halted at his destination. Al- though it may have been unusual for people to board ships at night, the manner in which this gentleman was received would indicate that he had been expected. The Aquitania was well out to sea before the elderly gentleman ventured out on deck. He was still dressed in a plain black suit. He was quite spry for a gray haired man. A polite porter assisted him to his armchair and careful- ly arranged the blankets about the gentleman’s feet. Then the gentleman looked about him to view his neighbor loungers. At his right he met the gaze of the rolly-polly Dutchman. “Goot morgen. Mein name iss Hans Ober- staum. Maybe we was goot friends yet?” The gentleman nodded politely. “Good morning. I am pleased to meet you. My name is .John Brainard.” Having been thus encouraged Mr. Ober- straum proceeded to call loudly for a porter. “Moof mein chair a little ober nearer,” he or- dered the porter who had hastily answered his calls. The elderly man looked amusedly at the gesticulations of the Dutchman. After the chair had been manoeuvered to the satisfaction of the Dutchman, this cheerful character seated himself and proceeded to further his acquaint- ance with his new made friend. “Nice day, yah?” he began. “Yes, it is rather refreshing,” was the un- interested reply. “I peen going to Milwaukee,” Mr. Ober- staum continued persistently. “Yah, dey say dey make very goot beer dere. Where you peen going?” Mr. Brainard glanced sharply at his neigh- bor before he gave his reply. “Well, 1 have a little business in New York. I shall return immediately. More of a sea voyage, you know.” “Oh,” the Dutchman drawled knowingly. “Yah, I stob at New York for a while too.” Then followed a few minutes of silence in which neither one, apparently, could think of anything to say. Finally Mr. Oberstaum rose 1 and prepared to leave. PAGE TWELVE the reflector CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUAR Y, 9 2 5 “I peen go and get meinself some breakfast ' he said apologetically. And he left as fast as his short legs could comfortably carry him. When he reached his stateroom, he quickly pull- ed out a small notebook and wrote in it hastily: “Short trip—returning immediately.” Just so I don’t forget,” he added with a smile. Chapter II. High Comissioner Oakley lounged comfort- ably in his favorite Morris chair at the Bache- lors’ Club in London. He carelessly fingered a legal document, and smiled to himself as he pictured some amusing scene in his mind. Again he scanned the sheet and began reading it for a third time: A friendly wager of 1,000 pounds between the Hon. Montague Ashland and the Hon. High Commissioner Arthur Oakley depends upon the following conditions: 1. That the Hon. Montague Ashland must leave Great Britain at some time between the dates of June 1, 1924 and August 1, 1924. 2. That the said journey must be at least one hundred (100) miles by sea from any part of Great Britain. .'3. That the Hon. Montague Ashland must make this trip without the knowledge of the Hon. High Commissioner or any of his sub- ordinates. 4. That the Hon. Montague must have proof of having made such a journey. The fulfillment of all of the aforesaid pro- visions insure a victory for the Hon. Montague Ashland. A victory for the Hon. High Commissioner provides: 1. That the Hon. High Commissioner, through the work of any of his Inspectors of Scotland Yard, must secure proof of the where- abouts of the Hon. Montague Ashland during said journey. 2. That the proof, in both eases, must be of such a nature that it can be brought before judges to determine its validity. Signed “It was one jolly debate wdiile it lasted,” one was saying. “And it started in a manner most friendly, and from a mere casual remark.” Another took up the story from here, and. in his eagerness to get it out, he floundered ter- ribly with the details. “The Commissioner up and boasts that his force could keep track of a person no matter where he went; and Monty flares up and says he’s pretty shifty and he guesses he’d be one devil to try to track. One word after another, and pretty soon there was nothing left to do but to try it. winner take all. And if you’ll just take a peak at the Commissioner over there, you’ll see he ain’t losing any sleep over the outcome.” Oakley was confident, and he made no effort to hide it. His ro’l was set on Leslie Earle, the man he had selected for the ease. As the newcomer sauntered over to his chair, Oakley just had to spill out some of that confidence. “Monty may be able to lead a merry chase, but I’ll bet before this trip is over, he’ll be on friendly terms with my man without knowing his blunder.” His listener only shrugged his shoulders and said rather wisely, “You are rawther confident in the extreme. But since I traveled through America I find that the best attitude is to say T reside in Missouri; the remits must be brought within my vision.’ ” Chapter III. Mr. Brainard was very much surprised when, as the days passed, he did not again encounter his cheerful Saxon friend. He had believed that he would not be able to get rid of that person after their first meeting. Indeed, just out of- curiosity, he finally went to look for him; yet lie could not locate that individual, for all the immensity of his body. Mr. Oberstaum had disappeared completely. Some hours before docking at New York, a short, stocky Scotchman strolled past the light- ly dozing Brainard. As the boat docked he was right behind the elderly gentleman. He was close after him as he entered the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and, as the result of a quick lifting of the lapel of his coat, succeeded in securing a room next to the man lie was per- sistently following without even having to sign for it. Not that he entered it, but it might be of use in the future. The following morning, Mac was present in the lobby when Mr. Brainard was signing his name for a registered letter. “I must see that letter,” he muttered to him- self. “It might be important and it might not.” The next day he made it his business to secure entrance to Mr. Brainard’s room while that person was out. “It’s a gambler’s chance,” MacDonald mum- bled to himself. The letter might not amount to shucks, while he might be out stealing a lap on me.” MacDonald had no difficulty find- ing the letter. Brainard had taken no pains to hide it, merely slipping it in his brief case. Mac pulled it out eagerly and read the envelope. PAGE THIRTEEN THE REFLECTOR C L I F T O N HIGH SC H O O L FEBRUA R Y. 9 2 3 “Registered letter, as I thought,” lie mus- ed. But the real value was the rest of it: Hon. Montague Ashland, personal letter Care of Waldorf-Astoria Hotel New York City, L’. S. A. The letter bore the stamp mark of London. “Montague Ashland.” he ejaculated in sur- prise. “He had the nerve to sign his own name? Why of course. My mind must be slowing up. Why didn’t I think of that before? This is his proof. Because it is a personal let- ter, he is the only one who can receive it, having to sign his name in the presence of the postman. Therefore he must have signed his real name on the hotel register. That's my case.” Without even waiting to read the inside of the letter. Mac slipped it back to its proper position and rushed down to the lobby to have an interview with that important register. By the same mys- terious lifting of his coat lapel, he was able to borrow the register, which he returned in less than ten minutes to its proper place. Now that his work was done, Mac Donald purchased passage for home. It was while he was signing his name on the ship’s registry that he also encountered the name of John Brainard. “Well, of all coincidences,” he chuckled. “He must have gone to buy his ticket while I was in his room. That means I had better keep out of his sight.” The return trip was a cheerful one for Mr. Brainard. He was sure in his belief that his gray beard and gray hair, together with his assumed name and secrecy in the manner of his departure, had insured a victory for him. There was no longer need for secrecy. He had reach- ed his destination, left it, and was already on the wav home with his letter of proof securely planted in the inner pocket of his coat. Yes, he would go straight to Oakley’s office in Scot- land Yard and collect his money. Not that he needed it, but just to satisfy his own particular whim. Through a little influence with those higher up, Brainard was able to leave the boat as soon as it had docked. He hired the speediest cab and paid an enormous sum to be rushed to the High Commissioner’s office in Scotland Yard. He burst into the office smiling. “Well, well, Art. I’m here. Have you got that 1,000 pounds handy?” He laughed with the excitement of victory. Commissioner Oak- ley looked up from his desk. His face lit up as he recognized his old friend. He jumped up and eagerly grasped Ashland’s hand. “Glad to see you again. Monty. But you don’t get that thousand until 1 hear from In- spector Earle.” “Inspector Earle?” Oakley smiled at the quizzical expression of his friend. “Likely enough you’ve met him on your trip,” he added. He looked up as a knock sounded on the door. “Come in,” he invited. The door opened to its full width to permit the entrance of a person of extended abdominal regions. “Dunner Wetter,” the newcomer ejaculated, as his eyes lit on Ashland. “If id aind my olt friend. Mister Brainard!” Ashland looked up in surprise as he recog- nized the roily polly Dutchman. He could ac- count in no way for his presence here. Oakley enjoyed the scene immensely, and finally man- aged to say, “All right, Earle. Be yourself.” “Earle?” shouted Ashland incredulously. “That’s me.” “Well, Earle, what luck did you have?” questioned his chief. “Just enough to beat my man, chief.” “I beaten?” exclaimed Ashland with re- turning confidence. “1 don’t think so. Here’s my proof.” He drew from his pocket the pre- cious letter. He continued to explain; “You’ll notice it is a registered letter addressed: Mr. Montague Ashland, personal letter,” mailed to New York. Therefore, to have it in my pos- session, I must have received it in New York where I had to be indenti tied in order to receive it. Is that proof enough?” Ashland asked triumphantly. “Yes, more than enough,” Oakley answered. “And what have you to say?” he continued, ad- dressing Inspector Earle. The Inspector in silence drew out a photograph which he handed to his superior. The Commissioner glanced at it and smiling- ly passed it over to Ashland. It was but a photograph of a page from the register of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, for June 9. 1924. Sec- ond on the list appeared: “Hon. Montague Ash- land. London.” Ashland smiled good-naturedly: “I’m a good loser. You win, but I’m not convinced yet. You won, not because you have a good force, but because you have one corking good man Walter Mattheis, June '25. PACE FOURTEEN THE RE F LECTOR C LIFTON II I c; II SC II () O L FEBRUARY. 1925 CROSS WORDS AND PUZZLES “I’ve just been calling on Mrs. Rodney, Syl- via and she says Edith is—.” “What’s a five letter word meaning to irri- tate mother?” interrupted Sylvia whose seventeen years had been dedicated to the pur- suits of happiness. “Sylvia ” said Mrs. l)aye sharply, “you don’t pay a bit of attention when I speak to � 9 you. “Wha’j’ say?” mumbled Sylvia. Then, glancing up from her cross word puzzle, she caught a glimpse of her mother’s face. “Oh mother!” she exclaimed. “What were you say- ing, dear? I’ve been working so hard trying to solve this puzzle that I wasn’t paying at- tention to you.” Then laughing she jumped up and kissed her mother adding, “You know. I’ll have to work hard to win that cross-word puzzle contest.” Mrs. Dave smiled. “That cross word con- test, Sylvia, isn’t the only important thing on earth. You shouldn’t take it so seriously. Do vou know that several people have asked me what makes you act so queerly lately? They say you don’t even speak when they meet you on the street.” “Never mind, dear. When I win my prize I’ll take all my friends out for a good time to make up for it.” “Well, do as you think best,” said Mrs. Daye, as she watched the dark head again bent over the puzzle. Mrs. Dave was quite worried about Sylvia, and broached the matter to Mr. Daye that evening, saying, “Suppose she doesn't win.” But Mr. Daye merely laughed and said he’d “bet on Sylvia.” And when Rob Arnold call- ed on Miss Sylvia that evening and he whisper- ed to his wife that there was “something to oc- cupy her mind,” Mrs. Dave let the matter drop. But- After warmly greeting her guest, Sylvia seated herself beside him. Now Rob privately thought Sylvia was the nicest girl in town; and as he wasn’t the only fellow who thought so, he was greatly flattered. “What’s that you’ve got? he asked, noticing a pencil and paper in her hands. “It’s a cross-word puzzle. Let's work it out together. What’s a five letter word meaning pertaining to wood spirits?” “Elfin,” laughed Bob good naturedly. “Say, Sylvia, suppose we go to the movies tonight. We’ll be in time for the second show and there’s a great picture playing.” “Movies? Oh no! Not tonight. I’d rather do this puzzle. What on earth is harmful in six letters?” “Search me. Say, are you going to that dance with me next week?” “Hooray! Dance just fits in here for a—.” “Oh, cut that puzzle, Sylvia. I didn’t come here to solve cross-word puzzles.” “No? Now what can a—” “No. 1 didn’t,” emphatically. “Why, Rob, it’s fine sport. You ought to—” “Sorry, Sylvia, but solving cross-word puz- zles isn’t exactly my idea of amusement.” “What is your idea of amusement?” queried Sylvia absently with her mind on her puzzle. “To make love in a silly manner,” she mur- mured, reading one of the definitions. “What do you mean,” cried Rob, bis face assuming a very bright hue. “Huh?” exclaimed Sylvia, struck by his tone. “What’s the matter?” she asked, for Rob had suddenly risen. “If that’s all you think of me I’ll be on my way,” said Rob angrily. “What do you mean? Are you mad because I’ve been doing that puzzle? If you are—” “Puzzle!” roared Rob, “What do I care about that puzzle? But when a girl tells me I’m a fool who makes love for amusement, then I guess I retire.” “Rob,” began Sylvia, “I didn’t call you a fool. Why, I don’t understand you. I’ve been reading off these definitions and now you fly at me like this.” “Definitions,” grunted Rob, “You just show me where it say’s ‘A fool who makes love for amusement.’ ” “You must be mistaken,” said Sylvia help- lessly. Then, as she ran her eye over the puz- zle definitions, her face suddenly brightened. “Oh, here it is! ‘To make love in a silly man- ner. That wasn’t referring to you—it’s just one of the definitions.” Rut Rob refused to be convinced. Without even looking at the paper, he walked to the door. “I’m going,” he said shortly. “Goodnight.” “Oh, Bob,” began Sylvia, following him, but he left her without another word. “Gee! Isn’t lie peevish?” thought Sylvia. “Peeved—p-e-ev-e-d. That just fits in for out of sorts,” and she hurried back to her puzzle. Nevertheless, Sylvia thought more of the in- cident than she cared to admit; and when she next met Rob and received a politely co’d greeting, she was in no way relieved. PAGE FIFTEEN THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON 1IIUH SCHOOL FEBRUARY. 1925 About a week later she attended a cross word puzzle party at which Hob, in spite of bis ab- horrence for the pastime, was present. “What’s this contest that everyone is so ex- cited about?” demanded Hob during the early part of the evening. A gale of laughter greeted his remark, and Jim Bates cried out, “I say, you must be asleep! Don’t you read the papers?” “The Evening Press is offering $500 as a prize to the one who correctly solves a series of twenty-five puzzles, one of which appears in the paper every day,” explained Edith Rodney. “Yes, and you write an essay on the value of cross word puzzles, too, so that in case there are too many correet solutions, the winner can be judged by the essay,” added Belle Laur- ence. “Do you understand now?” asked Jim moek- ingly. Perhaps you are puzzled about the Evening Press. That, my dear fellow, is the local paper. Its offices are situated—.” “All right,” said Hob when the laughter from this remark had ceased, “I guess 1 understand —even about the paper.” “How many puzzles have you finished, Syl- via?” asked Doris Kent. “The first twelve,” answered Sylvia proudly. “I guess you’re the only one who has finish- ed twelve,” said Edith. “I’ll bet on Sylvia to win the prize,” asserted Jim. “I don’t know about that,” said Hob half seriously. “I think I’ll have to go after that prize myself.” “Try and do it!” taunted Jim. “Try and do what?” asked Mrs. Davis, who entered the room at this moment in an excited manner. Then without waiting for a reply she said, “Mrs. Davis just called up to say that I)ona!d can't come to the party. He bad an accident with his ear and broke his leg.” This remark was greeted by a chorus of oh’s and other exclamations, and the conversation was turned into other channels. The next afternoon Sylvia, having carefully finished her thirteenth puzzle, went to put it with her other ones in her English notebook. To her amazement the twelve previous puzzles were gone, and careful search failed to reveal them anywhere. Poor Sylvia was thunderstruck. She phon- ed to her two friends, Edith and Laura, and when they arrived she told them the startling news. “Are you sure you left them in this book?” asked Edith. “Positive,” replied Sylvia. “I kept them here because the notebook presses them and keeps them together.” “Where do you suppose they are now. “Oh, I s’pose someone took them from my desk in school,” said Sylvia angrily. “It certainly is too bad,” said Laura. “Every- body expected you to win. “Except Hob,” interposed Edith slyly. “He announced today that he’s going to try to win the prize himself.” This remark was an unfortunate one, for Sylvia jumped up quickly saying, “He took them! I know he did. That’s what he was doing by my desk when 1 came to school today.” “I thought you said he put a note in your desk,” said Edith. “Yes,” replied Sylvia, “he asked for his pin, but that was just an excuse. He’s probably trying to get even with me for seeming to call him a fool. Listen! I’ll ask him for the puz- zles, and if he gives them back I won’t say any- thing about the matter to anyone else.” “I suppose that’s the best thing to do,” agreed Laura. “He probably meant it for a joke.” The next day Sylvia approached Hob, who at first tried to avoid her; but she boldly de- manded her puzzles. “What puzzles?” he asked nonchalantly. “My cross word puzzles,” replied Sylvia. “You took them from my desk yesterday. Didn’t you ?” “Took your puzzles? Do you mean stole them?” loudly demanded Bob. Then mock- ingly, “Ob, of course! I’m fool enough to do anything like that. Sure, the fool stole them.” And he left her, immediately, too stunned to reply. “Well, I’ll fix you, murmured Sylvia. “I’ll get those back numbers and work as hard as 1 can and win the prize yet.” During the days that followed, she saw little of Hob, and when she did she treated him very coldly. At last the contest was over and Sylvia had finished every puzzle. She carefully wrote her essay, and putting it and the puzzles into a large envelope, she started for the office of the Evening Press. On the way she met Bob, who hailed her pleasantly. “Say, Sylvia,” he said, “I’m awfully sorry I acted so mean the other night. I found that definition about silly love making when I was doing the puzzle.” “Are you taking your puzzles in?” asked Sylvia curiously. “Yes. I hope to win the prize. I’ve finish- ed every puzzle.” PAGE SIXTEEN THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCII O O L FEBRUARY, 1925 “Well,” gasped Sylvia spitefully, “I hope winning hv stealing satisfies you.” “Stealing? Oh!” said Hob. And he crim- soned painfully, but said no more. When the day of the announcement of the winners finally arrived, Sylvia with half a dozen friends eagerly walked to the store for the evening paper. Glaring headlines met their eyes: First Prize Won By Two People. Only Two Perfect Sets of Puzzles Submit- ted. Both Essays So Good That Each Winner Will Receive $500. “Well, without reading further, it’s obvious who won,” said Sylvia. “Bob and I both hand- ed in perfect puzzles, and I guess it’s also ob- vious who took my puzzles.” By this time they had reached Sylvia’s home and all the girls went inside with Sylvia. Poor Sylvia! The fun of winning was quite overshadowed by her disappointment in Bob. She idly fingered her English notebook and stared straight before her unsecingly. “You must have been in an awful hurry when you wrote that book,” said Edith, looking over her shoulder. “Why?” asked Sylvia. “Oh girls!” she sud- denly exclaimed, “this is Donald’s book. lie carried mine from school one day. He must have got his mixed, and now lie’s in bed with a broken leg so he doesn’t know about it.” While the girls were still staring at her, she jumped up and started to leave the room. When she reached the door she stopped and said, “I think I’ll call up Bob and congratulate him.” She came back a few minutes later blushing furiously. “What did he say?” she was asked. “Nothing,” replied Sylvia. “He’s coming over tonight to give his pin back to me.” Alice Hornby, June ’25. THE BROOK The brook runs swiftly, clear and free, O’er sand and rocks and branch of tree, Unchecked by bends, fern fringed and cool, Past mossy banks and shaded pool. Through emerald fields and busy towns, Still flowing swiftly, down and down, Until it joins the broad, deep lake, With wavelets rippling in its wake. G. Meyers, June '25. AUTUMN Neath rustling robes of crimson silk The maples softly sigh. And gold-drenched leaves from oak trees rain As shrill winds whistle by. The grasses kneel with lowered spears, Where clover heads are bent. And patient, ’midst the stubble dun, A spider spreads his tent. Pale, starry asters twinkling yet Jeer the sweet peas’ withered pod, And flickering sunbeams fall aslant. The swaying golden rod. Ah, yes! The summer days are spent, The red, red rose is dead,— But soon December’s ermine cloak Will gleam above its bed. Ere long across the span of months, The voice of March will ring, Proclaiming, in a gusty tone, The birth of budding spring. Helen Wester, June ’25. THE PERPETUAL STRUGGLE As Mr. N. E. Student strolled through the corridors of the school, he was torn by two ad- verse emotions. On the one hand, he wished to lie back and “take it easy.” The warm June weather did not encourage industry. On the other hand, however, his conscience was goad- ed from time to time by a feeling he could not define. Had Mr. Student the power to perceive such things, he would have seen perched on his shoulders two queer-looking personages. One was a stout, ruddy character clothed entirely in gray. His face bore a sublime expression of well-being. His very attitude suggested resig- nation. and, indeed, that was his title. The other queer fellow was the direct opposite of his companion. His was a well-knit figure, with head thrown back and chest inflated. His steel-blue eyes, which matched his dress, stared straight ahead, as though with only one object in view. 11 is name was Ambition. These two quaint beings were strangely en- gaged. First one and then another would rise in tip-toe and whisper a few words in the student’s ear somewhat in this fashion: Resignation: “Don’t hurry. There’s plenty of time. Anyway, isn’t it too warm to hurry?” Ambition: “No, it isn’t. If you wish to succeed you must not loiter, no matter what the weather.” PAGE SEVENTEEN THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY, 1925 Resignation: “There’s no use in rushing yourself. You’ll get to your destination even- tually.’’ Ambition: “Yes, eventually. But why not sooner?’’ They continued on in the same manner, un- til Ambition stopped, and glared across at his enemy. Suddenly he walked across to the other shoulder, and grasping Resignation attempted to shove him off into space. But Resignation resisted stubbornly and himself almost pushed the aggressor from his perch. Thus they fought, one striving to remove the other, while the stu- dent went on, unconscious of the terrific com- bat going on for the possession of his spirit. The struggle waxed fiercer. It seemed as though Resignation would carry the day. But, all at once. Ambition gave a mighty heave and threw his opponent into the air, where he dis- appeared. Then Ambition drew himself to his full height, folded his arms across his breast, and also disappeared. Simultaneously, Mr. Student braced his shoulders, threw back his head, and quickened his step. A new gleam was in his eyes, which seemed to look ahead at some unseen object or goal. No longer was his soul divided by dis- sension. Within him all was peace, but he did not wonder at the change, for he was an ordin- ary mortal. M. Cantor, June ’25. If you’re really not enjoyin' What seems to be your lot.

THE WANDERINGS OF THE DI KE OF DEVONSHIRE “Duke,” remarked Arlene Davis, with the frank courage of an heiress to millions, I am sensible of the honor conveyed in your of- fer, but before I answer 1 must ask certain questions.” The duke bowed. “You know that dad. like most people who have made money suddenly, is an ultra Tory. “We are Tories ourselves,” observed the duke. “Ob yes, but faineants in Toryism, accord- ing to papa,” she retorted, with a depricatory gesture. “You must do something to convince him that you are as intensely anti-Radical as he is himself. How many votes are you en- titled to cast at the coming general election?” The duke produced a betting book and has- tily made a calculation. “Well,” he said, “there is the vote in Dale- shire. and in Shropshire, and in Devon on the Rivers Court estate, and in the boroughs of Moreton, Dalehampton, and Middleton. In London constituencies”— Arlene began to look appalled. “How many in all in England?” she inter- rupted. “Thirteen. And then in Scotland—One in “Thirteen. And then in Scotland—one in Inverness, the Lowland estates give me one in Lanark, Dumfries, the Lothians.” He caught her look of appeal and finished, “seven in all. Then in Ireland—but all these details must tire you. Summing them all up, I have thirty- six votes—no, thirty-seven. I forgot that 1 have one vote in the island of Orkney.” M iss Davis sank back in her chair with a little sigh. The duke stared in a puzzled man- ner alternately at her and at his betting book. Finally she broke the silence. “Only last night dad was saying that if at the next election any Tory gentleman failed to vote his utmost capacity be would consider him as a traitor to the cause. Duke, you ask what you can do to win me. Vote for the cause in every one of the constituencies where you pos- sess suffrage.” The poor duke stood aghast. “But, Miss Davis,” he protested, “have you considered? I have thirty-seven constituen- cies. Many of the elections in these places oc- cur on the same day. Some of them are hundreds of miles apart. It is impossible!” Miss Davis rose from her chair as she said firmly, “I have answered you.” The duke had also risen with a rather awk- ward dignity. “Arlene,” he said, “if I do not vote legally from every one of those consti- tuencies you shall never see me again.” PAGE EIGHTEEN THE REF I. E C T O R ( 1. 1 I T () N li I C: 11 S C II O O I. FEBRUARY. 1925 OUR NEW HIGH SCHOOL At last! No longer a vision but a splendid reality! You’ve all seen the building, of course. Doesn’t it seem too good to be true? When we saw the cornerstone laid on September 20, 1924, we didn’t dream of seeing in four short months a nearly completed building—as far as the out- side is concerned. On that Saturday afternoon in September, an enthusiastic crowd of spectators took part in the fine program that had been arranged. The president of our Hoard of Education, Col- onel John II. Adamson, was the presiding offi- cer. The Reverend Arthur Dangremond gave the invocation, after which the audience joined in singing “The Star Spangled Banner.” In- spiring addresses were given by our mayor, Mr. S. Grant Thorburn, the president of the Board of Education, Colonel John II. Adamson, our county superintendent of schools, Mr. Ed- ward W. Garrison, and our city superintendent of schools, Mr. George J. Smith. Following Mr. Smith’s address, the great event—the laying of the cornerstone—took place. Weren’t we proud to see the last issue of the Reflector put in the strong box in the cornerstone! To make a long story short—the cornerstone was safely laid, and YOU will soon be in your new home. Don’t be too selfish with it because, you sec, we’re planning to hold our commence- ment exercises in the auditorium in June! M. Hanna, February ’25. THE SENIOR BAZAAR The Senior 4-1 class, under whose auspices the bazaar was held on the evenings of October 2.3 and 24, rented booths to the different class- es that desired them. The two upper floors of the school were utilized, and the rooms used as booths. The night of the bazaar found the as- sembly rooms cleared of obstructions and taste- fully decorated with Maroon and Gray stream- ers. Here the dancing proved an attraction. In adjoining booths the appetites of the hun- gry were appeased with a well-known ani- mal, and their thirsts quenched by means of punch. The Senior 4-2 class was in charge of a booth where a novel auction sale of scarfs, pictures, and knick-knacks was conducted. In the typing rooms on the lower floor refreshments in the form of ice cream, coffee, and cake were dispensed. The library was converted into a shop where fancy articles were sold by the industrious 4-1 girls. The candy kitchen, cider mill, grab-bag and fish pond all attracted their share of the throng. The carnival spirit seemed to affect every- body. Green Freshmen and solemn Seniors mingled on an equal footing. Haughty teachers descended from their thrones and entered into the festivities. Old grads were reminded of fond scenes, as they strolled through the well- known corridors, renewing old acquaintances and making new ones. Parents looked on and enjoyed themselves in the watching. Only one thing was missing—the presence of our princi- pal, Mr. Nutt, who was ill at this time. It appears that the bazaar is to be an annual event. PACE TWENTY-ONE THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUA R Y. 9 2 5 DOINGS OF THE ARTS CLUB Well, well! Look at this splendid record. The Arts Club, better known as Clifton High's Baby Industry, certainly did start the school year right five months ago. School wTas hardly under way when a call was sounded from Room 22. It was the well-known voice of Miss Clarice Smith summoning together the members of her faithful clan at the first Arts Club meet- ing of the new term. At that meeting a board of directors was appointed and plans for ac- tivities were discussed. Everyone worked hard during the next few weeks and the results were first seen at a so- cial held one evening at Miss Smith’s home. The members of the Arts Club and their friends who attended the party cannot but admit that the high school has some wonderful talent. During this time another division of the club was not idle—far from it! On the after- noon of November 18, an interesting entertain- ment was given by the dramatic section, under the leadership of Miss Smith. We were all de- lighted by the ballet presented by eight girls in striking Russian costume. Following the folk dance wrere three one-act plays given in the order in which they are named: “Spreading the News,” by Lady Gregory, “The Trysting Place,” by Booth Tarkington, and “A Pot of Broth,” by William Butler Yeats. They were well-acted and, we’ll all agree, very funny. All who witnessed Lady Gregory’s Irish comedy “Spreading the News” will remember the remarkable deafness of Mrs. Tarpey (Bet- ty Lambertson), and the sorrow shown by Mrs. Fallon (Marion Hanna), regarding her unfor- tunate spouse (Louis Cross). We must remem- ber also the pompous ability of the English magistrate (Walter Mattheiss) and his assist- ant (Bromley). As for Booth Tarkington’s comedy “The Trysting Place,”—that was nothing short of a masterpiece! We can never forget that spirit of never-say-die plainly shown by each mem- ber of the cast. We were all sure that when that unruly scenery took it into its hear to—but let’s forget about that. The presentation was successful anyway, for no account of hard luck could ruffle the middle-aged suitor (Wilbur Stevens), or prevent him from winning his for- mer sweetheart, Mrs. Briggs (Sadie Wilson). Young Launcelot Briggs (Warren Piaget), Spreading the News who was under the spell of the fascinating young widow (Catherine Mezzanctti), certainly knew how to use his eyes! As for the two young lovers (George Connors and Frances Haage) —need we say anything about them? The final play was “A Pot of Broth.” Irma Peters and Douglas Ungemah certainly made a wonderful Irish couple when they got started, and we must admit that the beggar would have been out of luck if they had not been so super- stitious. This entire program was so enthusiastically received by the audience that “Spreading the News” and the Russian ballet were again pre- sented at the Thanksgiving Day assembly, and “The Trysting Place” was repeated at the Christmas assembly. So we look back upon the activities of that “baby industry,” the Arts Club. Here’s to a prosperous New Year for it!

The gracefully drooping streamers, softly shaded lights, and artistically draped window- hangings made the hall a bower of beauty. The happy laughing spirit of youthful Mavtime hovered over all. At the stroke of ten o’clock began the Grand March, led by the Presidents of the 3-1 and 4-2 classes respectively, and their partners. The bright dresses of the girls flashing through the intricate figures of the march lent added loveliness to an already lovely scene. Dainty maidens served refreshments, while Class Sponsors were here and there trying to make everyone happy. The dignity of the pat- rons and charm of the patronesses helped to make this Prom, a memorable one in the Prom, history of Clifton High. The last dance is ended. One by one the lights go out. Good-night! Good-night! rings through the frosty night. The magic hour of “Maytime” has gone and Father Time marks down, in his already crowded book, that an- other Clifton High School Junior Prom has successfully passed. Georoe R. Connors, Jr., June ’26. PAGE TWENTY-THREE THE R E F L E Cl OR C L1 FT O N HIGH SCHOOL I E 11 R U A R Y. 19 2 .� 1-Y-NOTES The Clifton Hi-Y Club was organized April 11, 1924. Thomas Brown was the founder. The meetings are held at the . M. C. A. elub rooms every Friday evening at 7:45 o’clock. Mr. Bratton, secretary of the Boys’ department, is the Y. M. C. A. adviser. Mr. Nichols is the faculty adviser. The Hi-Y Club was chosen by the charter members as the type of elub best suited to the interests of a school boy. 1 he pur- pose i; to create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community high standards of Christian character. The slogan is Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sport, and Clean Scholarship. It stands for character and not creed. Every boy who wants to stand for the best things should join, and lend his support to the elimination of the worst and the cultivation of the best in school and community life. With this ideal the charter members founded the club. Popular organizers were invited to the meet- ings. They gave talks on the qualities requisite for a firm foundation. These talks helped to plan appropriate meetings for the new season. The initial Hi-Y meeting of the new season was held on November 7, 1924. The election of officers was the first move. Thomas Brown was unanimously elected President; Louis Cross, Vice President; George Kulick, Treas- urer; and John Dobol Secretary. A social committee was appointed consisting of Wilbur Stevens, George Kulick, and Robert Caverley. William Kupper was made publicity agent. The membership committee consisted of William Conriolly, Marius Celentano, and Cyrus Draper. The president outlined the work of the new term. The constitution was reviewed and amended. There have been several meetings, at which times interesting topics had been selected by the members for discussion. Vocational Guid- ance was the first subject chosen. Mr. Bratton was the leader. Mr. Parker, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., led a discussion on Good Sportsmanship. Mr. Mormon, from the Brook- lyn Navy Yard Y. M. C. A., led a discussion on Logical Thinking. Much enthusiasm has been shown in the discussions, and they have been both profitable and pleasant. On November 28, 1924, a real program was arranged. The usual path of conducting the meeting was left, and invitations were extend- ed to the girls of the school to attend this meet- ing. Through the efforts of Mr. Mormon, a well known speaker from New York, a fine group of entertainers was secured. Miss Manilla, better known as the “Nightingale of the “Navy ’ sang popular numbers. Miss Weeks, a juvenile ballet danseuse and singer, was also greatly appreciated. Mr. Pinpston, renowned for the saving of Locatclli and his crew, told of this incident in a very modest and interest- ing manner. Mr. Mormon with his splendid address completed the program. Refreshments followed the program. Four delegates represented the Club at the State Older Boys’ Conference held on De- cember 5, ( and 7. They were Thomas Brown, Robert Coverlev, George Kulick, and John Dobol. Over seven hundred boys from the whole state convened at the new Y. M. C. A. in Jersey City. The purpose of the Conference was to bring together older boys from fifteen to twenty years of age who were interested in, and capable of, Christian leadership; also to bring together men interested in this work with boys for inspiration and discussion, in order to strengthen and extend the organization through- out the State. The acquired knowledge from this conference will be instrumental in the achievement of this universal purpose. The membership committee urges the fel- lows of the three upper classes of the High School to come to the next meeting. They desire your support in carrying out their pur- pose. Come out to the meetings and get ac- quainted with each other. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR T II E !( E F LETT () l( ( L I I T O N II I c; II s c H o o L V E I!

At present the chorus is talking up several songs in preparation for the June commencement. It is true that we have the Girls’ Glee Club, which has given us some fine programs, but we must remember that the boys ought to have a “voice” in music affairs too. An idea has just occurred to me! With the chorus under Miss McQuillian’s splendid super- vision, with the stage ability of the Arts Club, and with our future Paderewski and Paganini, Mr. Kuzmiak and Mr. Kupper respectively, we may soon have grand opera all of our own.

PROPHECY OE THE ( LASS OE FEBRUARY, 1925 Time—1940. Place—On hoard the yacht “Experiment” in the South Seas. The renowned Professor Edward Tournier, bent over a maze of instruments covering the front of his recently designed “Super-Plvo- Hetrodyne,” was listening anxiously for signals from the planet Mars. Ilis mind was distract- ed for a time by the entrance of his fellow- vovager, Doctor Stevens D.D.S.Y. P.Q.. med- ical missionary. Having recently returned from his station in the Fiji islands, I)r. Stevens was recuperating on this maiden expedition of the yacht Experiment. The Doctor: “What luck, Ed? Any com- munications?” The Professor: “No, not yet. The planet is rapidly approaching its nearest point to earth for the first time since our Senior year in high school. I’m hoping to reach Mars with this new receiving set.” The Doctor: “What was that? The blurred sounds are growing more distinct!” The Professor: “Oh, it’s Berlin!” Radio Voice: “This is station F. R. G. of Berlin, Germany. Tonight we have a special program in honor of the great expedition by Professor Edward Tournier on the yacht Ex- periment, which is now cruising in the South Seas. Mr. Karl Sehroeder. the broadcaster with the smiling voice, will take the microphone this evening for the first time since lit won the world-wide Broadcaster’s Contest. For the benefit of the professor, Mr. Sehroeder has in- vited many of his and the professor’s former classmates to la present. One moment, please.” The Professor: “Karl said in the Radio- gram this morning that all of our classmates who are going to speak will travel from Am- erica via the Constantin Air Express line. Aldo certainly has a monopolv on air traffic, hasn’t he?” The Doctor: “Yes. Wasn’t it fortunate that Harry Kraft was elected president of the Corn Exchange bank of Clifton so that lie could finance Aide’s experiment?” The Professor: “It’s too bad that Josephine Macaluso can’t speak tonight. The paper said that she has been in Rome for some time, study- ing art.” The Doctor: “Well, well! She’s finally an artist, is she? Remember the masterpieces she ined to produce in H. S.?” Karl Sehroeder, broadcaster: “Good eve ning, everybody. Karl Sehroeder announcing The reunion of the old classmates of Profes sor Tournier, who is now conducting an expe dition in the South Seas, brings together a rare collection of famous people.” Senor Mattheiss will not be with us this eve- ning as he is in Africa, gathering rare orchids for the Spanish Botanical Gardens. PACE TWKNTY-EICIIT THE REFLECTOR t L TON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY, 1925 The first on our program is the notorio� Helen Werner, cosmopolitan star, who will givt a short talk on how to keep beautiful without the aid of cosmetics. Following Miss Werner will he a joint re- cital by Eugene Kuzmiak, the Paderewski of the age, and his colleague, Mr. William Kup- per, the great violinist. The selection, Miss Erna Hardt’s latest composition, is entitled Kazamovitch. We will then listen to a talk on economy bj David Nadell, owner of the Nadell Coast to Coast Thrift Stores. The Misses Craig and Hornby, of the Fono- Film corporation, will give their ideas on how to obtain success in the movies. Miss Marion Hanna, recently elected dean of Vassar College, can not be present, but hei speech will be relayed from the college by tele phone, then broadcasted. The Mesdames Vischia and Battel, style di- rectors of Paris, will speak on Fall Fashions for the Debutante. The former Misses Ayers and Grade, both happy though married, have sent by telegraph their best wishes to Professor Tournier. We hope that our program this evening will prove both interesting and beneficial to you all, and that those C. H. S. students who are listen- ing in will be spurred to great deeds after hear ing this illustrious group of graduates of Feb- ruary, 1925. Marion Hanna, February '25. Wilbur Stevens, February 25. THE CLASS WILL—FEBRUARY, 1925 We, the Class of February, 1925, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and wishing to leave behind us deep appreciation of our never-failing generosity, do make and de- clare this to be our last Will and Testament. First—To our principal and teachers, who have dealt with our transgressions and way- wardnesses so leniently, we leave our sincere gratitude. Second—To the June class of 1925, we be- queath our good will, our record of success and failures, and our ability to always “come up smiling. Third—We, the Class of February, 1925, desire to give special bequests to the individuals of the next graduating class, who, we hope, will greatly appreciate them and use them in the best possible manner. Henrietta Grade has generously consented to bestow on Leonard Heerschap, Antonia God- frey, Mary Bouncy, and Marius Kendall, a large portion of her silent mood and general good behavior. This bequest is made in a spirit of sympathy for the C. H. S. teachers. Per- haps it will help to solve the problem of dis- cipline next term. Ida Vischia, also in a very sympathetic frame of mind, leaves her vast number of ex- cuses for tardiness to Ruth Hascy, Raymond Smith, and Cornelius Wright. Let’s hope she’ll never have to borrow them back again! Edward Tournier, feeling that he can spare a little, bequeaths some of his scientific know- ledge to Andre Bruvere, Oscar Muller, and Haymo Pfistcr. David Nadell generously leaves his great ora- torical power to Dorothy Mair, Jeanette Gies- en, Jacob Weiner, and Irvina Goetchius. Orv finds plenty of use for it in 1-2 English class! .ilice Hornby bequeaths her mania for prize cross-word puzzles to Marian Hemion, Gladys Burt, and James Champin. This will give them a suggestion for using their spare time. IVilbur Stevens willingly donates his drama- tic talent ttf Reuben Feldman, Clara Baker, Edwin Hall. John Seibior, and George Myers. Elizabeth Battel leaves her generosity and unfailing good nature to Cyrus Draper, Solo- mon Entin, Abraham Simkin, Joseph Town- send. and Paul Werner. Marguerite Craig bequeaths her little drawl and babyish expression to John Dobol, William Dobbelaar, Fred Haage, and Ivor Watts. The girls will surely run after them now’! Harry Kraft leaves his meekness to Adele Weidemann, Eugene Pellegrine, and Wilfred Mencgus. This bequest will be appreciated by tin teachers, we’re sure! Karl Schroeder leaves his habit of talking about nothing to Joseph Jchl, Louis Epstein, Charles Leeks, and Charles Ackerman. Hav- ing cultivated this habit for many years. Karl believes that someone should profit by it. Helen Werner promises to confide her secrets of vamping to Millicent Geoghegan, Mary Gadjo, Helen Wester, Jennie Van Duren, and Margaret McLeod. Look out. boys! You won't be safe around school in the future! Josephine Macaluso gives her love of Latin translation to George Barna, Abraham Rut- berg. and Gertrude Schelkowitz. Eugene Kuzmiak, our Paderewski, leaves some of his musical talent to Lee Adams and Elfreda Benkendorf. Privately, of course, we think that ’Gene has enough to leave every- body some, but perhaps it will be more appre- ciated if he favors but a few’. PAGE TWENTY-NINE THE R E F L E C T O R CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY. 1925 Elsie Ayers leaves her habit of eating an apple a day “to keep the doctor away” to Ed- win Ruffing, Alfreda Czachorowska, and Wil- liam Hornow. This will insure for them the best of health during the coining year. A Ido Constantin bequeaths his angelic smile to Ernest De Lorenzo, James Dwan, Max Berndt and Constance Leibing. Be careful how you use it. You know there’s no cure for heart attack—it’s fatal! Erna Ilardt leaves some of her extra height to Ethel Cook, Louis Jacobs, Margaret Zim- merman, and Edna Michelene, so that the mem- bers of the graduating class will be almost of the same size. H’alter Mattheiss agrees to share his talent of writing short stories with Ester Anderson, Minnie Suskind, Lewis Pollisari, and Catherine Mezzanetti. Miss Smith will have a good many stories to choose from for the next Re- flector. William Kupper leaves his digestion of the dictionary and propensity for using rare words to Jacob Kosloff, Helen Ganiev, Freda Ernest, and Henry Reuter. Marion Hanna bequeaths her activity in all school affairs to Manuel Cantor and Michael l)e Mosegar, so that they will never lack occu- pation after school hours.

Farewell, dear High School, Our paths here do part; Kind mem’ries of you Dwell in each heart. Ready to conquer, we leave you forever. Farewell, dear School, Goodbye.

FACE THIRTY-FIVE THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH S C H O O I FEBRUARY. 1925 The Toot hall Team ’24 The Track Team 24 PAGE THIRTY-SIX OUR 1924 FOOTBALL TEAM The Maroon and Gray football eleven finish- ed a mediocre season with its hitherto flying colors flapping mournfully, but just watch the 1925 gridiron boys’ team! Captain Phil I)e Lorenzo, and Coaches Ilarrv Steinmark and Stephen Holster did their best to make an in- experienced team play winning football, but could do only as much as it is humanly possible with the casuality jinx stalking the team, and with the team practicing in listless fashion. The short season of five games afforded little of actual playing, but was long enough to make veterans out of “green” material, and super- veterans out of George Young, George Barna, Phil De Lorenzo, and Joe Puzio. When Father Time rolls the colorful autumn back in our midst next year, “our” team will be a feared opponent for any team in the state. One vic- tory, a tie game, and three defeats, are the record of the team, with only one severe blow —the beating by Passaic. (’hattic at Clifton, 25-0 Chattle proved the unwelcome receiver of an outburst of Clifton High School battering ram tactics. This initial contest, the only victory for the Steinmark-Holster team, netted twenty- five points for our school. George Barna flash- ed high in the gridiron zenith with three touch- downs, all spectacular affairs. Captain De Lorenzo cut himself a piece of glory with an intercepted pass touchdown. Sorry to say, Clifton’s scoring for the season ended with the note of Referee Gildersleeve’s closing whistle. (Iarfield at Clifton, 0-0 Garfield, a new power in the football realm, confidently opposed Clifton, and was received with the same spirit by the Maroon and Gray. After forty minutes of vain smashing plays, the combatants withdrew, without the coveted winning points. Garfield’s marvelous playing against Ridgefield Park, runners for the state title, and a similar conclusion of that game, spoke praise of Clifton’s machine all over foot- ball circles. Then, too, Clifton gave Garfield its best fight in that team’s winning schedule. But alas! for what was to follow! Paterson at Clifton, 3-0 It was here that the tide of defeat crept mercilessly upon the Maroon team. Paterson, unknown and unsung, opposed an over confident Clifton team, and when the smoke cleared away—score: Paterson 3, Clifton 0. Feet, ignoble supporters of the body, things to be trampled upon, exalted Paterson's place in football. Rittenberg, a calm young man, used the said feet to kick a fatal three-point drop kick. Well, leave off reading, for the worst is yet to come— Passaic at Passaic Passaic, oh Passaic, our ancient and worthy enemy, our rug for other seasons, turned the unexpected trick. Every factor showed a Clif- ton victory, but Nebraska beat Notre Dame, last year. In the icy cold, the fellows repre- senting our school bucked up against the wrong team when it met a rejuvenated number of the Passaic football team. An inspired morale, with a new set of plays, stamped a durable blemish on the Maroon and Gray record. But the affair is over for this year—now watch for Clifton’s next game with Passaic in football. PACE THIRTY-SEVEN THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL T E D R IT A R Y. 9 2 5 Union Hill at Union Hill, 26-0 The fire of fighting was out when a crippled Maroon and Gray team met Union Hill. No less than twenty-six points marked Clifton’s defeat. A smoothly working opponent had our team puzzled, and disgruntled, we came, we saw, we lost. Jupiter Pluvius of his own ac- cord cancelled the last game of the season—the East Rutherford tilt. W. Ki pper, February ’25. THE FOOTBALL BANQUET In appreciation of the earnest endeavors of the football team, the Athletic Association gave a banquet to the lettcrmen of the team, and con- ferred a similar honor upon the cross country team lettcrmen. At the grill room of the Arrow restaurant, on December 3, John Reid was chosen captain of next year’s team, and the “C’s” were pre- sented to the teams. Superintendent Smith, our Principal Mr. Nutt, and a guest, Mr. Hoy Schulting, completed the program with short talks. The football men who received letters were Captain l)e Lorenzo, Ernest Tomai. George Young, Joseph Puzio, Joseph Kuzmiek. George Rama, John Reid, Joseph Surgent, David Burton, Samuel Egarian, Joseph Seader, Charles Finkel, Clifford Smith, Abe Simkin, Marinius Kendall, Michael De Mozear, M. Goldberg, Kalman Haitinger, and Manager Nicholas Persel. The cross country lettcrmen were Captain Menegus. Aldo Sala, Aldo De Ghetto, Abe Simkin, and Robert Caverly. W. Ki pper, February 25. FUN The senior team did meet one day To have a game of jolly play, And when the scrimmage line was set. And every man was carefully met, Then back the ball did swiftly pass, And a jolly fellow of the class Skirted the end, and slipped the clasp Of all the opponents, and made them gasp. Down the field he swiftly flew; But other players closely drew And spilt the runner very fine. All too late, he had crossed the line. Seven to nothing was the score, When soon our opponents quickly tore Right through our men, and, what is more, Over the goal line they did fall. Making the count at seven all. Gosh! but they did have some fun When two good sports began to run, And in their zeal to gain a rank Toppled over and down the bank. Up they came a-limp and lame, And went right through for many a gain. Thus the day in sport was spent. And when the players homeward went It mattered little who had won. For they’d been playing just for fun. Fred E. Haacj, June ’25. CROSS COUNTRY Poor little Cross Country Team,—the baby of Clifton High School’s major sports! Al- though it did not accomplish a great record this past season, we are proud of the ncver-say-die spirit which was shown by the team through out the season. Because of the interest shown in football, very few candidates turned out for practice. Those that composed the team were Captain Wilbur Menegus, Emil Sala, Robert Caverly (1925 Capt.), Joseph De Feiro, Abraham Sim- kin, Edward Keiser, Henry Prall, Emil De Ghetto, Grover Brown. Those that made their Varsity letters were Ex-Captain Menegus. Robert Caverly, Emil Sala, Abe Simkin and Manager Joseph Surgent. The following is the record of the different meets: Clifton 48 Hackensack .... Opponen 19 35 East Side 21 28 Barringer 28 30 Rutherford 28 32 Englewood 24 48 Passaic 18 N. Persel, ’25. CROSS COUNTRY CUTS We lost. But watch our dust next year. Cross Country is still young in this school. We want more men out for it next season. “Bob” Caverly was the shining light last sea- son. Also let it be remembered he is captain elect. “Minnie” Menegus, our captain, also showed his metal. PAGE THIRTY-EIGHT THE REF I. ECTOR C I.

Yes, although Captain Phil’s team did not win all its games in football, credit must be given to the fighting team for its never-say-die spirit. Johnny Ried ’25, Captain of Football Team, said the other day, “Wait till next year! You will see a real team,” and, Johnny, we wish you the best of luck. Oh ! Alma mater, you are forsaken ! Where is that o!d Clifton High School Spirit? I almost forgot—there is a nice trip to Norwood, February 13 and 14. There must be tough battles at the different basketball practices. Do you blame them? What is the matter with the girls’ basketball team? Don’t let a little record during the past year dishearten you. Well, girls, what do you say?—Get together?

He said, “There’s distance.” And I said, “I’ll bet you one it aint.” We waited, and we listened, and we held the ear ’phones tight, But all the announcer said was this, “We’re signing off.

Dear Graduates: Undoubtedly you cannot quite realize that four years have come and gone since you first smiled sweetly at Mr. Nutt and asked hesitant- ly, “Must I take Latin the first year?” Four long years filled with anticipations and regrets and successes! You cannot help feeling proud, or feeling that you have accomplished something worth- while, and yet interwoven with this spirit is sincere regret. You may as well admit it. We have all passed through the same stage. We all know exactly howr you feel. You hate the thought of leaving. You can’t think of the time when these smiling school friends will not be there to smile. You don’t want the days when your “Good morning, Mr. Nutt,” and your good morning to your section room teacher will be omitted from your daily routine. Dear Graduates, there is just one help for it. Plan now for a regular meeting often with your school pals. The plan should read like this: Every third Friday of every month at cigvjt o’clock, I will meet you without fail at dear old C. H. S. Let nothing interfere with your plan. Put into our Alumni the spirit you have always put into the other enterprises of Clifton High. We have a new staff. It reads like this: President Fred James, ’14 Vice President Lewis Krber, '22 Secretary Lydia M. Brunt, ’23 Treasurer Curt Wetzel, ’20 Press Agent (’has. Hilton, ’19 Custodian Joe Fox, ’22 Historian Mrs. Ethel Arlt, ’21 The Alumni sends the heartiest welcome ever, and its very best wishes to all of you. The Alumni, L. M.

ODDS AND ENDS ABOUT US Ellen Itodger and Florence Hilton have embarked upon matrimonial seas. “Doc” Davison came to a meeting! Some- thing’s wrong. We should like to know why Lydia Brunt did not send Freddy James, our honorable head, a notice of the November meeting? Emma Rodger is a really truly teacher now. Wish we went to school again! Sometime when you are alone with the Alumni Association ask it about the meeting held in the Board rooms. Miss Margaret Gaffey will pay all charges to the person who can solve this one: Question: Why is a mouse when he spins? Answer: The higher the fewer. Oh, by the way, three of our number are graduating from Montclair Normal about this time—Clara Breeman, Ruth Smith, and Lydia Brunt. All are from the ’23 class. The Alumni wants to know how it can raise its investments. We arc going to give a Cross Word Puzzle Party. Don’t miss it. Lydia Brunt, Secretary.

IMPRESSIONS OF A NEW ALUMNUS When the members of the Class of June 1924 walked out of C. II. S. for the last time, they had all vowed to attend the meetings of the Alumni and become good hard working mem- bers. Some have come out—to be exact, two! The next meetings will be held in room 24. C. II. S., on the third Friday of the month, and we hope to see the class of June 1924 well represented. Say, class of June 1924, how about a re- union before we forget each other? We know you are busy and all that, but we can have a party on some night that is convenient to every body. What do you say about it? Address your answers to Paul Erber, Athenia, N. J. There isn't any news in Clifton so I am go- ing to give a few extracts from letters from the students of the class of 1924. Mike Frost, who is now attending the University of Michi- gan, says: “This is a fine place. Everything is new. The college is Co-ed and boasts of somewhere around ten thousand students. A Freshic’s life is somewhat hard, but one gets used to it. The Sophs have a rule which gives a black spot to any Freshie who makes a wise crack. The black spots mean a ducking. I have sixteen so far, but as yet 1 haven't been caught.” Another letter deals with one night of col- lege life: “A Friday is set apart by the Sophs, to haze the Freshies. This is known as Black Friday. Friday night the Freshies are round- ed up and taken out to the country. Here they are tied to trees and left all night. Satur- day morning the Freshies who have excaped Friday’s punishment are caught and are fairly well beaten up. Saturday night the Freshies out in the country are let loose and are made to walk home. I slept in the hall two nights and escaped my punishment, although the Sophs waited till two to catch me. Yesterday the Sophs got hold of a Frosh and took his tic off. This they tied around his legs. Then they took off his garters and tied them around his neck. Off came his coat and was turned inside out and put on backward. They did the same to his trousers. Fie was then led to the center of the town and made to direct traffic.” Hess, who is attending a medical school in Philadelphia, says the girls in that town are more beautiful than those in Clifton. I don’t believe him. While Charlie Hohenstein is not attending college in Troy he is visiting across the river. Charlie likes the school and town very much. A lot of nice scenery, Charlie says. Oh. I forgot. Chris Plog is learning to be a mechanic in a Detroit auto school. We wish you the best of luck, Chris. Now to the class of June 1924. The next two Alumni meetings fall on the third I'ridays of January and February. Come on, don’t let two do all the representing. Paul Erber, '24.

Born—a new excuse for tardiness. Don’t get excited—it hasn’t been named as yet. The Smith trio has just been organized. We wonder who will be next to join the ranks of the “hitched.” Our fears run towards the easterly end of the top floor. OBITUARY NOTES We mourn our sales of hot puppies. Where, too, is the lunch period rush—after candy ? We Miss Sharp. Senior Play nipped in the bud. The burial of the Senior trip to Washington was attended by a large group of mourners. Mr. Nutt must he commended for his fine work as officiating undertaker. Heard the sad news? The school orchestra hasn’t gotten over the effects yet. They lost a minor—note. Nadell (in Democracy)— What is a city?” Stevens (Absent mindedly)— How many letters? PAGE FORTY-FOUR THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY, 1925 OUR FACULTY We have some teachers in our school Who work and strive all year, Who laugh and scold as time may need, While we look dumb and sneer. Ev’ry senior knows Miss Hill. In 21 she lives, And knows her stuff from A to Z, Watch out, you human sieves! Up in a top room—26, We have a chemist keen. The odors from his room each day Are what you might term “mean.” Across the hall in 25 Miss Wallace “learns ’em good,” And though she is the sweetest thing, Beware, you blocks of wood! Miss Smith we meet in 24, An English teacher rare. The way she knows old Shakespeare’s works— She surely is a bear. Just down the hall in ’22, Miss Clarice Smith frowns ’round. And when you have a minute off, Just note her Paris gown. Miss Jackson we shall call her yet,— Though Arnold is her name. Still wears and tears at Cicero. Poor man T He must be lame. O Mr. Collester, please hear Our cries of saddest woes. For both your hobbies are to us Our worstest, worstest foes. Miss Sharp, she is the clever one, And cleverer than we knew, She wed a man last month, you see,— A blow to quite a few. Miss . Clough comes tripping through the halls, A Spanish-teacher new. She never speaks of a single man,— But Miss Sharp was that way too. lie is a man of much affair, This Mr. Nichols bright. But now we hear he is bethrothed. Does he see her ev’ry night? This one is always on the job, And withal is very keen. She teaches typing to the Senior grade,— It’s Miss De Mott, I mean. Somehow I cannot understand Just what Miss West does mean. For if she’s West,—then why come East? M iss West, what do you mean? Miss Lane, Miss Lane, what shall we do, You are so very strict? We’d like to see the man to whom You’ve promised you would stick. Miss Iloffmeister, so sweet and pure, Just hates to flunk a soul. She really almost cries for you, When you cannot make the goal. And now upon the second floor We have an artist rare. Her name is Mrs. Grammar—Strange,— For drawing is her care. Miss Johnson at her desk will sit, And teach and scold and mark. But after school and at the Prom, She really has a lark. Miss Musson is a reg’lar sport, And swings those clubs with pep. At Thorburn’s and St. Peter’s Halls, She surely makes you step. Miss Merry’s humor, now and then, Will slip her dignity, And give us all a laugh, for which We suffer mightily. Miss Firman is a Spanish shark, And will help you when you’re stuck. lint you have to mind and know your work, Or you’re simply out of luck! Mam’selle Vorrath just down the line, Holds classes of foreign tongue, She went abroad some years ago— Where Louis XIV was hung. Right near the office to the right, We find Miss Connolly stern. She makes you work your poor head off. But then, we have to learn. PAGE FORTY-FIVE THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY, 1925 There are some teachers new to us, And some we do not know. And so wre cannot write of them Until our following show. But all of this does not include. That room without a number, Of which I know that you and I Oft dream of in our slumber. It is the office that I mean. Where Mr. Nutt presides, Where notes must go to be O. K.’d, Which mark our lessons’ tides. It is a room of much ado. Of much we’ll ne’er forget. It holds the records of our school, And the conflicts we have met. But, most of all, this room so big Holds one who leads each one On to the threshold of his life, Where he’s marked as—“Lost” or “Won.” Lee Adams, June '25. Heard in Gym Mr. Steinmark (to Soph.)—“What have you got in your mouth?” Soph—“Nothing.” Mr. Steinmark—“Let’s see it.” Mr. Holster (in science room)—-“Can an electric shock kill you?” Freshie—“Yes, the more volts in it the more it kills you.” One of Phidias’ masterpieces—The statue of Athenia. Heard in 4-1 History Class M iss Shelkowitz (addressing Miss Wester)— “What is the history assignment for tomorrow?” Miss Wester (not thinking)—“Washington’s retreat from White Plains to Morris Plains.” Hi-115 HORNING THIS 5TVDENT WENT ON A RAH PAGE BECAUSE HE GOT TOO HUGH HOhEWOftK BUT- nusiC HATH CHARTS YOU KNOW. A MORNING GREETING Dobol—Why, upon this expontonious morn- ing it gives me sustensions apprehension to bid you good-morning. Celentano—From the bottominist partisan of my anatomy I desire to return your hospitable acquisition and ask after the condition of your propinuarv historical gland. Dobol—With the greatest of sanorious I am in the best spirits. I am corractulating with the Prince of Wales this noon and we two sportonians will indulge in a fastidious contest of cricket. Upon the conanuance of our con- traposition it is necessary for me to motor to my dentirostral lodge and evacuate from the loquacity of Baroness Zimtet a jessimine mal- leolous. Celentano—With this in affadavit, will you consume the morrow with myself in a turn of football ? Dobol—With the greatest of resentments, I accept. By the by, and could you give me a short itonomize of that new Clifton High School code? Celentano—I don’t know how to explain it, but 1 will explain it this way—With the rec- tacular curriculum the player in the foremost center discards the nastaculous ball with the cry “Menorada,” where upon this inanimate object is thrust to the extreme Laterus. Here the son of his father clings to it with a whoop— “Dami Buschi,” and takes an otrocious loprin- git to the aproprinary media and contemplates the erectous distance of his phalanges. Dobol—Quite sponacuous, quite sponacuous. Bon nuit until tomorrow'. I trust it will be a flexible afternoon. Celentano—Bon nuit! Lee Adams, '25 PAGE FORTY-SIX THE REFLECTOR ( I. !

S. ’Fhe Reflector Staff decided they had too much money and would not accept any more ads. Schroeder believes in the subject of Demo- cracy. The Senior Class didn’t care a snap about going to Washington. Kulik wanted to cut music. He and she arrived in the fifth inning. He (to fan)—“What’s the score?” Fan—“Nothing to nothing.” She—“Goody! we haven’t missed a thing.” Exchange.

Mr. School Spirit! Oh, Mr. School Spirit! You’re wanted,” cried the students. I,o! Mr. School Spirit entered Clifton High. Did you see him? I did. He was the very picture of youth, preseverance, and capability. Determination and success were written all over his face. His motto was, “Go Get Ads.” How exciting and stimulating was his pres- ence ! Ads came pouring in, things began to look hopeful, the staff took up its work with re- newed vigor, and here is the result—the Re- flector. I make a motion that we keep Mr. School Spirit with us forever. Seconded. The motion is carried. C. Mezzanetti, June ’25. WELCOME FROSII Hello, Freshie! Where away? Welcome to Maroon and Gray! It’s your school and all that’s in it. Make yourself at home each minute. High School days—your happiest days. O, it’s true in a hundred ways. Love the school—the spirit shown, You need it—take it—make it your own. Stroll the corridors all at ease. If in want—why, just say “please.” All Hail—All Honor—Here’s success! You're at home now—Welcome, Fresh! Lee Adams, June '25.

When she’s through with Stevens he looks like a spectre. She likes a good joke as well as the rest, Let’s hope she’ll take this in the form of a jest. W. E. Piaget. Mabel had her hair cut.

But at this time we feel especially thankful, for only through their increased advertising has the Re- flector finally been printed. We sincerely hope that the same response will be forthcoming in .1 une. However, were it not for those students who gave their time to solicit the ads, they would not have been obtained. To Richard Hornby goes the lion’s share of the honors. This hard- working Junior solicited ads totaling $112.50. Peter Cannici, Jr., and Edward Vanicck had a friendly struggle for second place, the for- mer coining in ahead with $66.00 to the latter’s $48.50. Compliments of A FRIEND The girls did not, by any means, measure up to the standard set last June. The boys came back with a vengeance and completely routed their fair opponents. They obtained $362.00 to the girls’ $86.50, and once more reign su- preme. Good work boys! But the girls prom- ise you plenty of opposition in June. M. Cantor, June '25. Compliments of N.

Then You can well Imagine the condition Of The Staff on The Date set for The Publication of the REFLECTOR. The Outcome of The “Ad Contest” Had been Discouraging To Say the least. We Decided to extend The Time. A Couple of fellows Of the Business Department Went Around to stir up SPIRIT. We Got It. There was So Much Spirit that we’re Winded Yet. The Most Common Things I heard were: “Gimme an Ad Card” And “(rot any more slips?” Everyone was Anxious, Or Shall I sav AMBITIOUS? The 4-2’s responded With a Pledge of $100. Just Think of it! Then the 4-l’s Followed up by setting A Goal for a Like Amount. Sections Pitted against Each Other. Boys and Girls warred for Supremacy in different classes. Now We, the Staff, Are not only pleased—we are G RAT IFIED, because We Have Reached Our Goal— $500.
