THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY 1926 Buildings The first high school was housed in school 10, a school building consisting of six rooms and an auditorium. Two rooms and the auditorium were devoted to the high school work and the remaining four rooms were used for elementary school use. In 1908 a wing was built to the left side of the building. And in 1910, due to the increasing enrollment, a third story and a right wing were added to the building. In 1911 these were completed, and the third floor only was used for high school purposes. As the years went on it was necessary to make over the audi- torium into six class rooms, and gradually the entire building was used for the high school. In 1925 the high school was composed of the present school 10 and school 3. In 1924 the new high school was started, and in the fall of 1925 we entered the new building. Change of Supervisors In 1910 Mr. B. I). Vale was elected princi- pal of the High School to succeed Mr. George ,1. Smith, who was elevated to the position of Supervising Principal. In 1911 Mr. Vale sever- ed his connections with the Clifton High School, resigning to accept a position in White Plains, New York. Mr. Walter F. Nutt then became Principal of the High School. School Activities (In Order of their Introduction) Athletics: 1908— First baseball team organized. 1909— Basketball was organized. 1921— We organized football and track. 1922— Cross Country was organized. Clubs: 1922— Under the supervision of Mrs. Smith the Spanish Club was organized. 1923— Miss Vorrath organized the French Club, and Miss McQuillan, the Glee Club. 1924— Arts Club was formed under Miss C. Smith. 1925— Miss C. Smith also organized the Stamp Club and Miss Hill organized the Biography Club. Graduates The number of graduates each year has in- creased rapidly, as you will note from the fol- lowing: Year Number 1909 ............................... 5 1910 ............................... 8 1911 .............................. 10 1912 ............................... 9 1913 .............................. 12 1914 .............................. 12 1915 .............................. 24 1916 .............................. 17 1917 .............................. 26 1918 .............................. 31 1919 .............................. 36 1920 .............................. 28 1921 .............................. 38 1922 .............................. 51 1923 .............................. 54 1924 .............................. 67 1925 .............................. 70 Enrollment From its inception in 1906 to 1914, the in- crease in the high school enrollment w'as slight. From that time on the growth was marked, as may be seen from the following tabulation of enrollments of the various years. 1908 there were enrolled 39 pupils 1909 ii ii l( 60 44 1910 44 a ii 90 44 191 I 44 a ii 130 44 1912 ii a ii 122 44 1913 ii ii 147 44 1914 ii a ii 150 ii 1915 ii i ii 201 44 1916 a a ii 240 44 1917 a a 4 290 44 1918 a a a 297 44 1919 a a a 335 44 1920 a a “ 379 44 1921 a a a 478 ii 1922 a a a 614 ii 1923 a a a 729 44 1924 a a a 778 44 1925 a a 974 44 You will note from the 1925 tabulation that the enrollment is more than twice the enroll- ment of 1921, four years previous.

THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY 1926 WHO’S WHO Philosophy, chemistry, law, science, history, economics, and poetry are some of the subjects that are very intelligently discussed by Rudolph Schramm. Here’s good luck to the possessor of one of the most active minds in our school, and may his scope of intelligence widen with the coining years. Attention, everybody! Focus your optics on the youth who answers to “Louis Cross.” He is a popular member of the 4-1 class, and a school baseball favorite. He is forever popular among his classmates, who show their appre- ciation by tending to him many honor positions in the school. He is assistant editor on the Reflector staff. He is president of his class, and of the Clifton Hi-Y club. He bids fair to lead the next baseball team of the Clifton High School, lie is a go-getter, and we could use more like him. All up for “Louie.” He is the comanding figure in room 207. There you will find the transformation of all your ideals. You get all you want and more than you want—of homework. A casual ob- server during a class period might say to you, -“Well, you have nothing to kick about.” But if this observer remains a minute after the warning hell he will take hack all he ever said with profuse apologies. Mr. Collester may know how to spend part of a class period in lecturing on the value of a college course, hut don’t he fooled -he can rattle off homework assignments, at the last minute, with the best of them. We wish to introduce to the student body the Misses Alma Tomai and Lee Dolson, the two girls who started the Cheering Squad to help along the football team. Both are Juniors and deserve much praise for their work, which was the only activity along that line this season. Keep going, girls. You’re doing fine. Mr. Derr Mr. Derr is one of the school’s favorite teachers. His interest in the work of the student and his ability to teach the modern sciences are all realized by his students. The long periods arc shortened considerably by his witty remarks in reference to the school work. His musical ability in the school is gradually making itself known through his work for the orchestra. All together for Mr. Derr! Charles Finkel is one of the most popular boys in school. His popularity is not due to the fact that he was our football captain, but to his strength of character. No one can deny that it requires a strong character to he able to make friends of opponents, and to keep friendship in competition. Every important affair that is under way has had the hand of Louis Cross in it. The boys and girls sure like to vote for Lou to be their leader. And his efficient management of the enterprises that he has undertaken justify the selection of those who chose him. Douglas Ungemah is liked by teachers and students alike. His popularity can be easily accounted for when one thinks that Douglas never fails to have his best smile, and a word of greeting as well, for everyone that he meets. There is a hoy in school who has recently been elected to a responsible position as the head of his section room. Before election, his loud laugh could have been heard frequently. He laughs now, but not as before. He is quiet, dignified, and is working very hard to make his class a 100% class, for is he not the Mayor? Our Man During the 1925 football season, George Young, the sturdy athlete of our school, per- formed remarkably well, and several coaches from here and there noticed the playing abili- ty of Clifton’s center. One of these coaches stated that Young, in spite of his size, and his playing with a losing team, was, in his estima- tion. the best center in Northern New Jersey football. It is the opinion of the Athletic As- sociation of Clifton that our George deserves such compliments and encouragements. Mrs. Stack pole s Sayings We like to hear Miss Musson talk Because she is a dear. She’s always saying, “Forward, march,” Or, “Onward to the rear.” She asks, “Where are vour sneakers, girls?” Or, “Hurry, fall in line,” Or when we’re late she says to us, “You’re taking too much time.” PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN
