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

THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL F E B R U A R Y 9 2 6 Napoleon Wakefield has taken the 1-1 Latin class by storm, and so great is his love for that venerable language that he does not intend to stop until lie is crowned with a laurel wreath for his brilliance and fluency in the Latin language. Our Life Saver—“The Man on the Box,” who sells lunches in front of the school. .Just think of all the lives which would be lost through starvation should he fail to make his daily appearance. Miss Emma Varvaro is so thrilled with the study of Virgil’s Aeneid that on certain days when her interest is especially aroused she af- fects a Grecian coiffure. She is never unwill- ing to try to unravel the deep mysteries of an- cient Latin and is daunted by nothing. Kallas is her favorite goddess. The giggling sextette of the 4-2 Spanish class: Misses Gunzer. Rouy, Stursburg, Donlevy, Kronmueller, and Mr. Bromley, ought to con- tend for State Championship. They can giggle over anything, even a Spanish homework les- son which isn’t a laughing matter. Oh, that football coach who doesn’t stand any gaff from the Big Shot Players. That’s the boy! Holster, stand your ground. The spirit of the Track and Cross Country Teams exists in one of the members of the Junior Police. He customarily wears a wind breaker of suede, and can be recognized by his dark hair and smiling face. As Captain of the Cross Country Team, he gave up opportunities of taking first place by getting behind and spurring his mates on. We congratulate Rob ert Caverly. Small man, good looking, dark complexion, brown eyes, always has a patent leather hair comb, is one of the best sports in the school Answers to the name of Walter Geyer.
