Smith. THE REFLECTOR WI' -naw An lintcrvicw with the Superintendent HIS YEAR Superintendent of Schools, Mr. George J. Smith, is celebrating the Q twenty-fifth anniversary of his entrance into the Clifton School System. He began his work here in September, 1906, as organizer and teacher in the newly formed high school. Two years later he became Supervising Principal, and when Clifton was incorporated as a City in 1917, he assumed the duties of City School Superintendent. Widely known and respected in educational circles throughout the state and nation, he is noted for his integrity and devotion to the cause of education. He is a member of the New Jersey Council of Education, Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association, and is a charter member of the New Jersey Schoolmasters' Club. Mr. Smith is well known and loved by all the school children of the City, and particularly by the High School pupils with whom he comes in frequent contact. When asked for his opinion on student participation in school government, our Superintendent replied as follows: HParticipation in forming the regulations and rules governing student conduct has been receiving widespread recognition during the past few years. The idea in mind was to develop a spirit of co-operation to inculcate the spirit of obedienceg and to provide conditions similar to those to be met in later life. The principle that good school citizens will make good citizens in the community at a later stage, is the basis for the student-council form of organization, as well as for all forms of pupil participation. To be most successful, the pupils who make up the council must be chosen in a democratic manner, that is, by the pupils as a body or by the pupils organized into groups or clubs, always with the supervision and helpful en- couragement of the teacher. Its chief functions are to correlate the various activities of the school, to promote the school's welfare in all respects, to suggest means for carrying on the daily tasks of school discipline and management, to deal at times with offenders, and to aid in the management of school enterprises. This is a large order. ccWhere wisely carried on, student councils are an asset in the formation of school spirit and in the development of worthy school enterprises. Where they have not succeeded, the failure has been largely due to a lack of interest on the part of the student body, which might mean either antagonism or indifference. 6'However, group control tends toward democracy and must at times suffer some of its ills. At least it places control upon the basis of choosing to do right because of the desire to please the group. At times, even, its mounts to the height of a group decision reached after deliberation. UNevertheless, properly conducted, student participation also tends toward the building of character, the formation of right habits, ideals and attitudes, through a discussion of problems that grow out of immediate experience. When a group sets up its own standards of work and behavior and each lives up to them, sharing re- sponsibilities and making decisions with reference to the good of the whole, we have the best kind of self-government?

Four s THE REFLECTOR Veil' .lm THE THEME STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL GOVERNMENT ISITORS and guests of our school invariably comment upon the fine order and the inconspicuous discipline prevailing in our school gbuilding. From the assembly rostrum we have been told again and again that our school rates high among the institutions of the State for its order, its elhcient management, and its splendid upkeep. Our guests from neighboring schools have registered pleased surprise, and expressed unstinted praise for our smoothly running system, our elimi- nation of waste time, and our businesslike checks on delinquents. We students know that the credit for this praiseworthy state of affairs goes de- servedly to our principal, Mr. Nutt, and to his aides, the teachers, and the members of the oliice force. We all agree that Mr. Nutt has rendered the school outstanding service and that he might rightfully Hrest upon his laurelsf, But Mr. Nutt has not been satisfied with all this. It has been his constant de- sire to inculcate the love of order and good discipline in his charges by sharing responsibility with the teachers and the pupils, with the aim of furthering the demo- cratic ideal and of developing in us the primary requisites of good citizenship. This past year has witnessed the formation of the Teachers Council, an advisory body to the principal, enjoying great prestige and respect. The past term likewise is most notable for a serious attempt on the part ofithe students to better the exist- ing pupil agencies through which they may participate in school government. It is characteristic of our principal that when the interest of students in their agencies seemed to wane, he did not shake the students out of their smug complacency. He saw what we never suspected-that any change in student affairs, if it were to be worthwhile and successful-would have to come from the students themselves. Without mentioning a word about his policy he inconspicuously encouraged student initiative and waited for the students to do something about themselves. This issue of The Reflector is an indication that our principal7s policy is bearing fruit. We feel that the time has now arrived and that the students are uwaking up. We decidedly do not desire to convey the impression that things have been going wrong in our school. As we indicated in the beginning of this introductory article, our school always has been considered a model. What we do desire to convey is that while we have been highly rated, we are not satisfied with this. Where we have been good, we are going to be better. Through the liberality of our principal and teachers we have learned the supreme lesson for students-that it is under their wise guidance, and not through our own unsuper- vised devices, that we shall succeed in bettering ourselves. Our school always hasbeen a model. It is going to remain a model, but from now on we are going to think more of it, work harder- for it, and remember it with greater affection and loyalty because it has taught us, in a most democratic manner, that we may have responsibility-if we deserve it, that we may participate more fully in school government-if we are Ht for such participation, and that we may enjoy the great advantage of learning the secrets of true citizenship by practicing it-when we are ready for it. ' THE EDITORS. Five THE REFLECTOR ral IGH liqeport on the Seventh Annual Qonference of New ,llersey llflligh School Qotlneils g HELD AT COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL, SOUTH ORANGE, IV. J., APRIL 6, 1933 HE members of the Committee on Law Enforcement of the Democracy Classes hereby submit to our Principal, Mr. Nutt, and to the Teachers, Council the following report on the Conference which they, and four members of the Gen- eral Organization, attended: Committee on Law Enforcement INTRODUCTION The Conference, consisting of representa- tives of seventy New Jersey High Schools, was called to order, promptly at 3:15 olclock, by Robert Patton, Student President of Columbia High School. Mr. Patton introduced his Prin- cipal, Mr. Curtis H. Threlkeld, who in turn intro- duced the visiting speaker, Professor E. K. Fretwell, of Teachers, College, Columbia Uni- versity, who spoke on the subject: The Inherent Values for the Pupil in a Program of Pupil Participation in School Government. Professor Fretwell outlined a general form of student participation in school government but pleaded for more of the true spirit of par- ticipation, rather than the mere form of it. His talk strengthened us in our opinion that Many form of student participation, if it is to be real and effective, must originate in, and be the natural growth of, the student body where it is introduced. GROUP MEETINGS ' For purposes of discussion four grouplmeetings were held in different parts of the school. Members of the Clifton delegation were present at each meeting. A - Financing School Council Activities. It was the general impression that Student Councils should exercise control over all student activities, including: Clubs, Athletics, Class Activities such as Junior Prom and Senior Play, Sales, Dances, Red Cross Fund, Unemployment Relief, Assembly Programs, and general improvement funds, and that the Council should be made responsible for the financing of the same. ,The budget system was proposed as the best method of financing projects. B - Benejits of Pupil Participation. It was the opinion of the representatives of many schools that outright student republics generally are failures and that, therefore, new and better forms, embodying the ideal of co-operation between students and teachers and principal, are to be preferred. It was the general feeling that student groups should. be consultative rather than autonomous. Six T H E R E F LiE C'T O R val- , -lou General Organization C - Character Training. - It seemed obvious to us that civil virtue is best instilled by practice in government, and that such practice should be given in the schools, not in civil life proper. It likewise was our impression that a much healthier view of politics might result if students participated in government in co-operation with their superiors, so that they might be encouraged to act rightly, and discouraged from objectionable practices. D - Better Discipline With the School Council. Many instances were given of schools where students participate in govern- ment not only through student councils, but also through aiding the faculty in an executive capacity by acting as monitors in study halls, as librarians and custodians in school libraries, and by patrolling the exterior as well as the interior of school buildings. Student responsibility is further developed by permitting the students themselves to deal with infractions of regulations through student courts. Our impression was that this innovation should not be hastily adopted. OUR GENERAL IMPRESSION or THE CONFERENCE The multiplicity and diversity of the problems discussed seemed to us an in- dication that each school must formulate its own plans and arrive at a system of student participation peculiarly fitting to its own needs. Therefore we do not approve of the imposition of any copied form of student participation in school government in our school. The best results will be obtained by an evolutionary, rather than a revolution- ary change. r We heartily recommend, therefore, that the General Organization be revivified in accordance with the proposals contained in our special report, and that this body, when properly functioning, transmit its suggestions, proposed regulations, pleas, etc., to the Teachers' Council for approval or veto, and that these matters finally come to the attention of the Principal in a joint report which he also may approve or reject.

Seven THE REFLECTOR emi, 'IGN Special llgeport of the Qommittee on ll,aW Enforcement of the lllroblems of Democracy Qlass W PART I- PREFACE N assigning supplementary work to the pupils in the class in Problems of Ameri- can Democracy, our teacher asked, on Thursday, March 2, for a group of volun- teers who would form a Committee on Law Enforcement to examine and report on means of improving school spirit, and of promoting the better co-Operation of students and teachers in matters of mutual concern, particularly as regards school regulations and their enforcement, school discipline from the studentis viewpoint, and student participation in government. Nine members of the class volunteered to form this committee, of which num- ber, however, only the five whose signatures appear at the end of this report remained on the committee. The committee undertook to meet daily to discuss the varied and complex prob- lems which presented themselves. All told, the members devoted sixty hours apiece of their free time to this task. They visited three schools in search for information, attended the annual Conference of New ,lersey Student Councils, and gathered a wealth of first hand material from schools in New Jersey and New York through the medium of correspondence. In view of the liherality of our Principal, and of his oft-expressed willingness to receive the recommendations of well-meaning students, we, the members of the aforesaid committee, desire to present to him the result of our findings as contained in this report. A copy likewise shall be left with the Teachers Council for the con- sideration of the teachers. PART II - INTRODUCTION A - PECULIAR LOCAL CONDITIONS. After an examination of conditions elsewhere and a comparison of them with conditions prevailing here, it is the opinion of the committee that any sudden or drastic change in the status of the pupil would not be wise, and for the following reasons: E I-While school spirit is good, it is not constant, as may be seen in the vary- ing degrees of student support given to athletics, drives of various kinds, and other school projects, such as The Reflector. 2-Until school spirit is a more complete reality, any artificial plans based on it are bound to fail. 3-School spirit must come from the pupils, who should not be given the full rights and privileges of participation until they desire them, and until they show that they deserve them. f 11'-Until the spirit of responsibility is more general, any scheme of student participation will be subject to ridicule, abuse, and consequent frustration. B - THE FIRST STEP. We feel that, in view of the local conditions, the ground work first must be pre- pared if a sturdy growth of true citizenship is to be achieved. Part III of this report deals with measures which, we think, are worthy attempts to promote better. school spirit and a more general sense of responsibility. Eight THE REFLECTORY val- -KM 4-1 Boys C - THE IDEAL. - Part IV of this report contains an outline of an ideal form of student participa- tion in school government, which, in our opinion, most closely resembles that form used in civil life. We suggest that our efforts be directed toward the final realization of this ideal form, with, of course, such adjustments as may be necessary to fit our needs. It should be remembered, however, that our immediate aim is to promote the spirit of responsibility and the desire more fully to participate, rather than to pro- vide a positive form of increased participation in school government. PART III-RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT or THE SPIRIT or RESPONSIBILITY AND THE DESIRE TO PARTICIPATE MoRE ACTIVELY IN SCHOOL GOVERNMENT - For the purpose of clearness and good order the following proposals are grouped under three general headings, listed respectively as Executive, Legislative, and Judi- cial, according to the theory of the separation of powers as used in the constitution of our civil government. While it is realized that in actual practice this separation of powers does not exist to any marked degree, the classifications nevertheless' are convenient. A - EXECUTIVE. Because of the lack of any adequate leadership, it is desirable that leadership be encouraged. If the General Organization, as at present made up of section room representa- tives, cannot find a good leader among its membership fone who knows how to pre- side, appoint committees, and get work donej let the Principal and the Teachers, Council select such a presiding oliicer from their acquaintance of worthy pupils who possess the qualifications of leadership. The qualifications for a presiding oflicer should be made more rigid and should not be dependent upon perfunctory elections alone. Nine THE REFLECTOR mal. 'mf' 4-1 Girls Il' the section room representatives consistently fail in the task of hnding a leader, might it not be better to drop the idea of section room representation and substitute some other sort, such as that from class divisions? Such a change would require the organization of 1-l, l.-2, 2-1, and 2-2 classes. We feel that the members of such classes know each other better than the members of section rooms because'they go to the same classes, whereas some section room pupils seldom fre- quent their home rooms, except to eat lunch tmany go to the cafeteriaj , to be marked present, or to be dismissed. Furthermore, much ol' the irresponsibility prevailing in Junior and Senior Class organizations might be done away with if pupils were given the opportunity to get used to the mechanics of parliamentary procedure in the lower classes. B - L1ac1sLA'rivE. Let the General Organization meet regularly, at a given time, in a given place. We think that once a week is not too frequent. Let this body gradually assume responsibility for student affairs which need betterment, such as the following: 1-The school clubs. The General Organization should form a plan whereby the various clubs should be subject to its regulations as regards size, eligibility, powers, meeting dates, etc., so as to avoid much existing confusion and overlapping of meeting dates, conflicting aims, and interlocking memberships. Some pupils be- long to as many as five clubs. 2 - The General Organization representatives should be impressed with the fact that they are representatives, and must consult their constituents. A check-up of what a representative does in the meetings should be made. To encourage more initi- ative in making suggestions at the meetings, little form slips should be distributed among the members, on which suggestions may be put in writing and collectedf Ten THE REFLECTOR MBI' lla-y 3-2 Boys 3 - Committees of four or five members should be appointed by the president to deliberate on special problems. These committees should make reports to the entire body. This will fasten responsibility on the members and give them more time to consider matters thoroughly. ' 4--If possible, the General Organization gradually should be given a share in the responsibility of financing assemblies, the Reflector, Red Cross and other drives, and athletics. It is our opinion that greater pride matters if the students are made responsible for them. C-JUDICIAL. will be taken in such The beginnings of a student court could be established through a Junior Police Court authorized to deal with infractions of the traffic regulations. Cases could be handled through a system of tickets served to violators, and made out ence. In the beginning the Junior Police could Such a court might after school, or at lunch in duplicate for refer- the faculty adviser of act as judge. meet weekly, probably time, to deal with cases of a week's standing. A system of penalties for infractions should be devised in which the penalty shall suit the offense. Much dissatisfaction is aroused-in pupils over the fact that the same punishment is handed out for any and all offenses under the detention ,, system. junio Pat Ol The infractions of the regulations for which . r r one is liable of detention, expulsion, or other of Duty punishment should be published so that stu- dents may know the laws and so avoid offending through ignorance. Eleven THE REFLECTOR val, 'lm 3-2 Girls The indiscriminate sentence of detention for large as well as for small offenses would be alleviated somewhat by two detentions, one for habitual offenders and more serious cases, and another for first offenders and trivial cases. The mixing up of first offenders with habitual offenders is detrimental to the morale of the first offender. Something resembling a civil service commission should be established to receive and pass upon applications for positions to the Junior Police Force, to insure a per- sonnel that will have the respect of the student body.

This document was completed on Friday, April 21, 1933, and is ready for pre- sentation to our Principal, Mr. Nutt, and the Teachers Council today, Monday, April 24, 1933. JOHN LOTZ, Chairmang CAROLYN LEIBACH, MATTHEW KAISER, BERYL M. CONINGSWOOD, GEORGE HILIXIRE. Mr. Nutt and the teachers most kindly accepted and approved the foregoing re- port and promised support to this student venture. Already a junior police court has begun to functiong plans are in preparation for the election of a school president next-.Decemberg authorization for a change in the units which are to select the Gen- eral Organization representatives has been obtainedg the lower classes are to be organized next yearg and in this issue of The Reflector, the codilication of the school regulations has become a reality. Fifteen THE REFLECTOR val. 'IW .wlllhat ye May llqnow The llcawu NE of the recommendations made in the report of the Student Committee on Law Enforcement is that Hthe existing School regulations be gathered to- gether and codified in order that all pupils may know what the rules aref, At the request of the editors of The Reflector two Junior students undertook this project, the results of which we are happy to present herewith: High School llfegulations pproved and Qoclifiecl 1 - REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE CONDUCT OF ASSEMBLIES.

Twenty-six THE REFLECTOR Val' -IGN x nnex Student Qourt URING the past term the High School Annex has experimented with a system of student participation in school government somewhat similar to that used successfully in Hackensack Senior High School. This form of participation requires honor roll membership for school officers, pro- vides for a student court made up of two representatives from each class, stipulates pupil judges, lieutenants, assistants, proctors, a school secretary and treasurer. Prin- cipal Harry F. Collester and Miss De Leeuw, who are deeply interested in the gradual evolution of a model system, have sponsored the newly formed student agencies. Before this system was introduced the students were acquainted with the project, after which the entire student body was invited to vote on a set of rules drawn up, to elect ollicers for the school and proctors in each class. The chief criticism made of this venture in the Annex is that since but little training in participation in government is given in the grades the pupils experience dilliculties in adapting themselves to the new freedom. It was found that boys par- ticularly disliked to be judged by equals, that judgments often were influenced by emotional appeal, that partiality was shown by proctors, that some unworthy proc- tors were chosen, that personalities were injected into the functioning of justice, that proper procedure was neglected, that boy-against-girl antipathy was noticeable. These conditions were, of course, expected among freshmen, and may be overcome only in time. The advantages claimed for the experiment are the development of a conscious- ness of responsibility, better discipline generally, greater co-operation with teachers, and the development of self-assurance in the pupils. The evolution of the Annex system will be watched with great interest in the High School proper. RUSSELL PLANCK, February '35, Twenty-seven THE REFLECTOR eral' 'IW rv The lleachers Qouncil NE of the most important events of the past term has been the formation of a Teachers Council, an auxiliary and advisory body to the Principal. The Council meets on Thursday afternoons in Room 209 to discuss and deliberate on matters pertaining to the general good of the school. Its conclusions are incor- porated in reports which are submitted to the Principal for approval. A clause in the constitution of the Council which should be of great interest to pupils provides that uThe Council shall . . . receive and deliberate upon requests and petitions submitted to it by duly 'authorized groups of studentsf, It is hoped that by this provision such irresponsible acts on the part of pupils as ill-considered petitions for holidays, or shorter school day will receive the careful attention of the General Organization before they are submitted to the Council. In the future no petition or requests will be honored by the Council unless they first pass the General Organization. Members are elected to the Council by the vote of all the teachers in open meeting. The term of office is three years with one-third of the membership retiring each year. The present membership of the Council includes Mr. Tunis Baker, Mr. Charles A. Berthold, Mr. George Coulthard, Mrs. Florence Hackett, Miss Morrell, Mr. Deane Nichols, Mr. Morril F. Shepard, Miss Clarice Smith, Miss Ruth Smith, Miss Agatha Spinella, Miss Elsie Tuttle, and Miss Edna H. Vorrath. The oliicers are: Miss Vorrath, president, Mr. Shepard, vice president, and Miss Clarice Smith, secretary. Twenty-eight THE REFLECTOR '1'9l 't 'IGN llilciitoria ls IN APPRECIATION FTER twenty years of service, Mrs. Viola Grammer, one of Clifton High Schoolls foremost figures, resigned from the school faculty last term. Ill health forced Mrs. Grammer to retire to her home in High Bridge, where, to use her own words, she is Htaking things easyf, as she well deserves to do. Mrs. Grammerls girlhood was spent in the little town of Delta, tucked away in the heart of Pennsylvania, where she was born. After completing her elementary and secondary school training she enrolled in the Cumberland Valley State Normal School at Shippensburg. After her graduation she matriculated at the School of Fine and Applied Arts and at Teachers College, New York. Having taught for several years in a district grade school, Mrs. Grammer came to Clifton High School in l9l3.' During her stay here she taught a variety of in- teresting subjects, including English, history, domestic science, mechanical drawing, and drawing. As one of the organizers of The Reflector, she was tireless in her efforts to bring it up to its present standard. It is the feeling of the Staff that in her going the school has lost a friend. Our good wishes for restored health go with her. REACTIONS TO REFORM Much credit is due those students who have been so active in their research project on student participation in school government. There is no doubt that Twenty-nine THE REFLECTOR wolf' 75 greater interest has been aroused in this subject than ever before, and it is gratify- ing to note that serious steps have been taken to improve the student agencies. Since the fundamental fact has been established by the Committee on Law En- forcement that the success of any student scheme depends on school spirit, we are moved to speculate, is not to prophesy, on the outcome of this venture. We think that it will succeed, because it has the right kind of people behind it-those who have school spirit. We base our conclusion on reactions elicited from well defined groups of stu- dents. Those who are always in trouble sneer at itg those who have not adjusted themselves to school life find nothing of interest in it. We estimate that these two groups comprise about one-twentieth of the student enrollment. Freshmen and Sophomores seem non-committal about the whole project. We suspect that the leaven has not yet reached them. They comprise something more than one-quarter of the enrollment. Many of the underclassmen, as well as some of the Juniors, seem timid about the matter, others take it as a joke. This group' also includes about one- quarter of the enrollment. Seniors and Juniors generally and those who belong to clubs or other school organizations react most favorably. This latter group com- prises something less than one-half of the enrollment, probably forty percent. It seems to us that in civil life proper, the percentage of those interested in partici- pating in government is about the same. These reactions of students may be supplemented with the views and opinions of the teachers. Two-thirds of the faculty think the students are ready for greater participation, one-third feels that they are not. The majority of the teachers ap- prove a student president and other school officers, as well as student courts. Those who are apprehensive fear that things may get Hout of handf' We think there is little danger of such an eventuality. Co-operation, not antagonism, seems to be the dominant spirit in our school. The willing acceptance of guidance in these matters seems a good guarantee of order. We believe that the only danger that may beset this project is that we may be tempted to Heat the whole hogv at once. It is desirable that the system grow up and stay with us, rather than that we grope toward it and then possibly lose sight of it. STUDENT FINANCES Since the coming of the cafeteria, a very profitable source of revenue for class organizations, and The Reflector, has been cut off entirely. It used to be that special sales of food or candy were arranged, some, even those of one dayis duration, result- ing in a profit of fifty dollars. , When the student organizations were permitted to hold sales they could and did contribute advertisements to the school magazine. and were enabled to undertake out- side projects. We realize that the cafeteria was installed for our benefit and convenience, and appreciate that fact. It would be a great advantage, however, if some arrangement could be made whereby organizations might still hold some sales during the year. Such a concession would be an evidence of good will, and would promote a' better feeling of co-operation between the students and the cafeteria.

Crater Lake-I had never heard of it. So as I arose and shook the last remnant of sleep from me, I was more interested in the contents of my break- fast than in a lake, my acquaintance with which was absolutely nil. I can recall very clearly the walk to the lake. The path led across a dusty, pebble covered field. My camera, which had been giving me foggy reproductions, accompanied me. Little did I suspect what the end of the trail would render. I trudged along up a stumpy, rocky hill, at the summit of which was a modernistic and rather monstrous log cabin, called the Sinnot Memorial Lookout. The cabin was cluttered with maps, pictures, and forest rangers. I walked out on to the porch, and 'there before me was Crater Lake. Crater Lake is as different from an ordinary lake as steel is from saddles. It demands respect, it looks powerful, it is solemn. When I first saw it, I said noth- ing-neither did anyone else. Words would have been weak, silence expressed my admiration. I stared at it. Its mirrorlike surface was rippleless. After a few moments the stun disappeared, and naturally I wanted to discover the secret of its strangeness. Thousands of years ago the top of this mountain was a volcano. The volcano erupted, spent its fury, and left a cone-shaped cavity. No one knows how, but, grad- ually, the excavation began to fill with clear blue water. Now the filling process has ceased, and the United States Government has been able to secure data on this phenomenon. The lake is three miles long and a mile wide. Its depth in the center is two thousand feet-far deeper than most parts of the ocean. As one gazes down upon the water, it appears to be only a' short distance away. The shore of the lake is so steep that its distance completely battles you. In reality, the lake is a half a mile below. Thirty-0 e THE REFLECTOR -1659 WSI'-7 Perhaps this incident will convince you of the bewildering aspect. While standing on the lookout porch, a friend nudged me and said: Look at that duck down there on the left. I looked and, sure enough, there was a duck. A ranger who stood near us over- heard our talk, mused, and smilingly stated: That's not a duck. What you see is two men in a rowboatf' I felt silly. The main point I wish to bring out is the color of the lakeis water. Many people have seen water in shades of blue, but Crater Lake's water is so blue that it astonishes and even arouses doubt in people who actually see it. It is absolutely an indigo blue, After this episode I felt thoughtful. I began to believe that Nature must have favored our country when she distributed scenic masterpieces. I can't believe that another country in the world possesses more beauty in landscape than America, and, if that is true, Crater Lake, the pride of Oregon, certainly adds decisively to our advantage. IIN I-LVOYSIAIOIU GERTRUDE SMITS - June '33 If I were that branch on the gay green tree, Vlfould you be this candle flame, To mar my shimmering loveliness And shrivel my needles to shame? Or would you adorn my fleeting grace, flfor Christmas is O! so brieflj As this snow, like the sparkle of Godas own smile, Or that tinsel that tempts a thief?

Or would you be one of these pussy cats, With coats of the softest fur, To play with my rattle and lick my toes, And scamper, and scratch, and purr?

Thirty-two THE REFLECTOR 'Milt 1161.1 Flfuckis efect UCK ROGERS, her uncle said, was the most timid girl he had ever come across. Although she had gone through college, she never had anyone but herself for a companion. ' ,She had graduated from college with high honors, and now two long months of vacation lay before her. Her uncle solemnly vowed to break her of this bash- fulness before she entered upon her life career. This uncle was a newspaper editor, and, therefore, it did not take much con- centration on his part to devise a plan. He decided to send her to Europe to make a report on the tennis tournament in which Jack Butterworth was competing for the title. The biography of this young man was another duty. In this way she would meet and be forced to converse with strange people. The result would be that she would gain more confidence in herself and thus lose her excessive modesty. Tuck walked about on clouds for the next week. At last she was really going to Europe. Sport frocks and Himsy things were bought. Instructions from her uncle occu- pied the time when shopping wasnit going on. Suddenly she found herself alone on the boat. Her uncle rushed off with cheering words just in time before the plank was pulled in. Panic seized her heart. What if she failed! The re orts must be secured, the P Y must bel, Tears sprang into her eyes, but she waved bravely at her uncle, who was shouting Mgood-byew and crushing people's toes in his excitement. Slowly the great ship, now seemingly helpless, was pushed out into the river by comparatively slow and small tugboats and turned toward the ocean. Tuck, leaning against the railing, had never felt more lonesome in her life. A great desire to jump overboard and swim ashore took possession of her, but she thought better of it. Didn't she have one of her best dresses on? Slowly the machines began to work, the ship glided down the river. Now she had started she had to stay. Finally she went to her cabin to unpack. The Howers thoughtfully sent by the family and her uncle filled the room with a sweet odor. But oh, if only Jack Butterworth were not alive. But alas, the immortal gods did not favor her as they had favored Caesar. Mr. Butterworth was just as much alive as Pompey had been dead. He was constantly on her mind. How could she get his genealogy and the other required things? She couldn't just go up to him and say, 'Tm Tuck Rogers, and I want you to tell me all about yourselff' It just wasn't done. Upon rceiving her table in the dining room, she found that Mr. Butterworth was seated at the other end of the dining room. A frightened feeling at the pit of her stomach spoiled the entire evening. She spent the days wandering about the ship. There were so many passages that she did not know which one to take. She often visited the gymnasium on the upper deck. It was glorious to stand on the top deck and watch the foaming white waves dash over the bow as the ship dove down to meet them. The whales swim- ming close to the ship were another attraction. Thirty-three THE REFLECTOR eat -IW Trader Horn was on the boat. He wore a gallon hat and an old coat with buttons missing. His long white beard was very attractive. Tuck spent many hours listening to his yarns of Africa. But she also watched every move Mr. Butterworth made. She observed that he was continually surrounded by fair damsels. It was finally the last day of the voyage, and she had not yet spoken to him. Every morning Tuck had gone swimming in the pool before anyone else had thought of leaving his bed. Today she went a little later. She practiced the swan- dive, the jack-knife, the front flip, and the more difficult flying Dutchman. She could perform these dives with grace and ease. She was climbing out of the water when an applauding startled her. There stood Mr. Butterworth, bronzed and smil- ing, with a look of admiration. f'You'll have to teach me those dives, lVliss-er-- MTuck Rogers is-ah-my-n-n-name-sir.H It sounded positively horrible. Here she had a chance and acted so profoundly stupid. What a pretty name. You will teach me those dives, wonft you?m uSurely, but youjll have to put on your suit. You couldn't very well come in with your fiannelsf' That was a little better. M1711 be back in a jiffyfl he promised gleefully. Tuck waited excitedly for fifteen minutes, a half hour, an hour. ffGoodness, but it takes a man a long time to change. But l suppose he's trying to decide which suit to wearff When she had waited for two hours, she was thoroughly chilled and discouraged. As she passed along deck, there sat lVlr. Butterworth surrounded by a bevy of gaily chattering girls. Tuck stopped. too astonished to move, and tllell ran blindly to her cabin. ln her damp suit she threw herself upon the bunk and sobbed with heart- breaking disappointment. 2 ffHe was just making fun of me. He had no intention of coming backff The result of the whole affair was that she arrived in England with a severe cold. She saw no more of Jack until after she had registered at the same hotel as his. She now cringed whenever she saw him. There were two weeks before the tournament started. Tuck decided to go to Berlin and the surrounding territory. Everything was so different there. The build- ings, with their Gothic architecture, looked so romantic compared with our modern skyscrapers. The policemen wore such elaborate uniforms that they looked as if they were on dress parade. She loved to wander about. sometimes stopping at quaint coffee shops with their comfortable furniture and soft music. After two weeks of this wandering she returned to England. The tournament was to start the next day. It was an elimination contest and therefore took several weeks. Tuck was there at each game, taking notes which she rewrote every evening and carefully stored at the bottom of her trunk. Finally the tournament was over, announcing Mr. Jack Butter- worth the winner. After several dinners and luncheons in his honor, he had to leave, as his ship was sailing in three days. Tuck bought gifts for the family and other little souvenirs, but her greatest treas- ure was the notes about the tournament. , Thirty-four THE REFLECTOR 2'3 116-r The change of atmosphere had changed her somewhat. Trying to find her way about in Germany, she had used her fouryears of German to her best ability. People understood her, and therefore she had more confidence in herself. The ship started on its homeward journey the following day. Tuck again went swimming every morning. ' ccWliy, hello theref' a pleasant voice greeted her. Nl7awncy meeting you here on this bright, jolly mawninifi in a serious tone but with twinkling eyes. ul-low do you like my accent?

MDO have dinner at my table tonight. Then you can tell me more about the technique of diving? The dinner was very pleasant, and soon Tuck had him talking about himself. Men like to do that, you know. After dinner there was dancing. Tuck promised to see him at the pool the next morning. During the following days they became fast friends. Both acquired knowledgeg Jack was learning how to dive, and Tuck was finding out everything about him which would make the story a success. The time had passed so quickly that neither realized the next day would be the last day aboard ship. Both regretted the parting. With her precious notes she was not afraid to face her uncle. She had accom- plished the task which had seemed impossible at first. The ship was pushed into its resting place, and the people streamed down the plank. Jack escorted Tuck to her uncle and family, who stood there. not believing that their eyes were functioning properly. Jack complimented the family for possessing such a charming daughter. After bidding them a farewell, he left, promising to write to them. Her uncle afterwards confessed that he had not expected her to get the biography of Mr. Butterworth. Tuck was a great surprise to her family. HI never thought such a change was possible, exclaimed the overjoyed uncle. Thirty-Eve QGL THE REFLECTORY Thirty-six A Iveacherls lhament Dedicated to Miss C.

The Werewolf GORDON Ross SMITH - June '35 Running, thumping o,er'the housetops Hunting for,its helpless prey, Shrieking, screeching in the moonlight, Who would such a call obey? Blood of murdered men is dripping From his awful, loathesome jaws. Open windows he is seeking, ' Hapless horses in their stalls. Screams and screeches rend the silence, People fend their homes in vain. Since the werewolf still pursues us, No man,s life will be the same. THE REFLECTOR wal- ,Img A Narrative I-IE scene of this narrative, which I am going to relate as I first heard it, is laid in a farming county of Pennsylvania, Its name is Lancaster, it has since ' been given the added appellation The Garden Spot of Pennsylvania. Whether it lives up to this description matters little. The basic facts, as nearly as I can ascer- tain, are truthful. But I am not here as a critic. I shall let you judge for yourself. My narrator began: ttlt was in the year nineteen hundred, when I was just a lad, that Sally Boston fell in love with John Hess. LLNOW, those' two lovers were as far apart in character as a tomato and a potato. Sally was fickle and eccentric to an extreme, and given to fits of rage. Her head was topped by an unruly mass of red hair that suited her well. In spite of this handi- cap she commanded much respect from the boys who knew her. The conclusion was often drawn by strangers who passed the Boston home that a good, sizable auction or an exhibit must be in progress, judging from the number of would-be wooers hov- ering about. It is needless to say I was there. nlack Hess, peculiarly enough, was of quite another type. Slow thinking, slow fighting, slow eating, and slow courting. He was among the boys unpopular. They despised what seemed to them his unreasonable jealousy. Overtures to his bride- to-be met with dark glances from that Jack Hess. Never did I see a less harmoni- ous pair of lovers. 'GAS I said before, it was in 1900 that things first began to' shape themselves into the form of a plot. It was in that year that the first colored camp meet came to Lancaster County and lodged itself in the cleared space in the wood back of Shaub's. The arrival was hailed with shouts of glee by the youngsters, for whom it meant something to see, something to do. The older folks groaned, with a mood of half tolerance guiding their actions. From their meager source of information, namely, the 'Lancaster New Eraf a camp meet was nothing to open their arms for. 4cThe- colored folks came anyway against the fayes' and 'noes,' pitched camp, and for the most part took whatever they wanted. They borrowed saws and ham- mers from the farmers and incidentally forgot to return them. This defection, how- ever, can be attributed to their general nature rather than to any deliberate mean- ness. 4'The following night was set as the first official night for the ceremonies that come and go, as does the camp meet. I'll never forget that night. After supper John, who worked on the place as hired help, and I changed our overalls for our cSundays.' With the approach of darkness we climbed the short hill which lay be- tween our house and the camp meet with a certain amount of caution. This half secrecy satisfied our childish instinct for the mysterious, I suppose. '4The congregation was seated on benches that were somehow contrived from the trees which surrounded the place. Some of the seats were rough boards placed between two stumps. During the proceedings I heard more than one curse to him- self as he received a splinter in his hand. The pulpit was crude, consisting of a broken down chair and a shadow of a box, which bore unmistakable evidences of once having borne soar labels A pitcher and a glass that were precariously set on the Thirty-seven THE REFLECTOR van 'IW box, and from which the preacher took enormous gulps, were cracked and smeared with fingerprints. The preacher was a peculiar spectacle. He was dressed in black trousers which looked terribly ragged at the bottom, and a long black coat. The coat itself was too long in length and too small around the waist. His battered black hat he took off when he mounted his pulpit to preach, revealing a close cut head of black curly hair. I sometimes wonder how those fellows keep their teeth so white. There that preacher was, using no toothpaste, yet he had teeth that glit- tered in the half light. The eyes of that preacher rolled and tossed not unlike a small ship on a rough sea. 5'The sermon he preached was rambling and interested me scarcely at all, but his slow southern dialect fascinated me. I listened not to what he said but to how he said it. One sentence, however, still clings to my mind: LYou ain't got no right to steal.' ' -N HAfter the preacher had exhausted' the water in the pitcher, and his voice, and had concluded his sermon with the above sentence, a wild round of applause broke forth. The audience went off their minds in an effort to show their appreciation. When I look back, I find no celebrity of our world today ever received any more applause from an audience of that size than did that blundering preacher. Mlmmediately following the sermon the time was devoted to singing. The Woods rocked with the songs of the colored crowd. The favorites were those of the negro spiritual type. Let me tell you, they were some singers. One old colored fellow had a voice that could compete with any of our stars today. With no training at all they could teach Rudy Vallee more than a little. But to continue, the singing was accompanied by dancing that had no form, no grace, but plenty of rhythm. Some hopped, others skipped, and still others just walked. Every color of the rainbow was represented. All of them in confusion. How the moving mass avoided collision with one another is beyond me. Hlgoon thereafter we left. We were convinced at that time that the negro is the happiest creature on earth. He has a science of living unknown to the whites. We also concluded that we had a lot to learn from the negro-contentment, for eX- ample. uThe next morning I rose early and found my father was in a frightful mood. No wonder. He Cmy fatherj explained that during the night the cornfield had been stripped, the apple trees were lacking their customary fruit, the tomato patch had been picked clean. The most important item, however. was the fact that the marauders had bor- rowed twenty-four of our chickens. Yes, those pegroes have that weakness, my father knows it now. A 'cThat night I left my home to take up my life in the city, while my father sat up with a shotgun, loaded with salt and pepper, to teach those marauders they couldn't cheat the Cowpers, but those negroes know when to stay away. All that I tell you now I learned when I returned home six years later. HSally Boston, on the last day of the camp meet, was discovered to be missing. Her rig was found by the roadside without any horses. She was going to the Ly- ceum for the evening's entertainment, she had told her parents. The program, how- ever, never reached her ears. Some one had taken her, no one know where. Thirty-eight THE REFLECTOR W-JL 41651 c'The country-side was scoured in true vigilant style, headed by the bridegroom, John Hess. How he withstood those fears that preceded the discovery of her scarred body in an old well, I cannot imagine. What a man he must have been! c5With this horrible discovery, clues were found leading to the arrest of the preacher. Protests and entreaties served the negro not at all. True to the letter and spirit, he was tried in court. The twelve ctried and true' jurors returned the verdict of aguiltyf HAfter the trial and subsequent conviction and execution, the country-side quieted down and resumed normal activities. The only one not to forget was John Hess. I-Ie grew morbid and extremely unsociable. The only thing that ever relieved this luckless fellow was the thought that he had caught the murderer. HAH this was told to me by my mother when I returned home. What was it that I could say, finished my narrator, urealizing that Sally Boston was my wife and not dead at all, that she had escaped from her parental care, that she had met me in the city, that we had married, that we had two children? Wluat could I say?'7 Those, my readers, were my narrator's words. The utter simplicity, the earn- estness of his speech appalled me. Could it be so? If it was true-and I have reason to believe it was-the Garden Spot of Pennsylvania has played a hellish role in the life of that community. A ummer Night HELEN SUPER - June '35 There's a message of fragrant sweetness Floating down on the balmy air, And the stars on this summer evening Are surpassingly bright and fair.

Thirty-nine llciterature Projects During the past term the Senior and Junior English students have done some excellent work in reproducting famous buildings and objects connected with the study of English Literature. ' The inserted photograph displays some of the models. At the lower left of the photograph is seen a small model of an Elizabethan theatre made by Arthur Wonneberger. Behind it stands the Fortune Theatre, the work of Arthur and Lester Pontier and Nicholas Shedlousky.

Meditation HAL REID - June '35 HE dampness of crystals of water on my body and the tang of salt in my nos- A trils were the remnants of my dip in the briny deep. I dropped to the golden sand which caressed my fatigued body like a comforting feather bed. After the first stage of relaxation had enveloped me, I clasped my hands behind my head and gazed out over the froth-flecked, deep-green, restless sea. How peaceful and yet how turbulent and brooding it seemed, like some fitfully sleeping monster. My gaze traveled far ouft to where even the white-capped waves were lost in the immensity, to where only an occasional ship broke the long line of the horizon. A ship, outstanding, like a bit of light, like carefree laughter in the great tiresome monotony of everyday existence. Again I was aware of the surrounding sand glimmering in the rays of a new- born sun. How wonderful it all seemed . . . the living, surging sea, the shining sand, the early-morning sky . . . the solitude. Now, more than ever, did I congratulate myself that I had left a comfortable bed to slip away for an early dip which provided me with an opportunity to appreciate the unspoiled beauty of a lonely beach.

As the result of the tying up of our funds in a local bank which as yet has not opened, we , embarked upon a gigantic intramural program, which, to our surprise and grati- fication, has been the very thing we have wanted all along. This intramural system, which has been installed in many of the leading colleges, permits fair competition and provides sport for all of us. Through the natural rivalry that is aroused in competition among the classes we have witnessed, if not a renais- sance, surely then, a new birth of school spirit-another thing we have been looking for for many years. In addition, this system provides for a Sports Council which chooses judges, timers and starters, and assumes responsibility for athletic affairs. This last provision puts athletics where it belong in the great scheme of Increased Student Participation in School Government. THE SPORTS COUNCIL With the hearty approval of our Principal, Mr. Nutt, and Coach Claxton, the proposed Sports Council became a reality on May 1, when the elected representatives from each gymnasium class met to discuss plans for the spring sports schedule. At the Hrst meeting it was decided that the pole vault be discontinued because of the lack of funds. The discus and shot-put were dropped because of fatalities resulting from the use of these implements in nearby schools. The following sports were retained and provided for in the yearis schedule: recreation, football, indoor baseball, basketball, and soccer. Plans were then made for class practice and competition in track and baseball during the month of lVIay. Progressive methods were introduced in the gym class periods which were sufficiently diversified to provide each pupil with active participa- tion in some extra sports activity. Baseball teams were formed and games played when the gym periods were held outside. These who did not care for baseball were encouraged to pursue track or golf.

There was no money to buy bats or balls or suits or gloves. When time for practice came, however, our indomitable baseball coach, Mr. Collester was backed up by no less determined candidates for the team, who promised to bring their own bats and gloves and go to it. Everything was rosy again-until the one good bat we had rounded up, cracked as the second man up took a swing at the ball. The end of practice seemed at hand as Coach Collester mournfully wailed to the bystanders, g'Buddy, can you spare a bat? After a while a few more bats came from some place and practice was resumed. According to some of our news sleuths someone who used to be captain of the base- ball team of a little college in New York, went to bat for us. Who that was? Guess in three strikes, or you're out! At a meeting of the Athletic Association with the Principal it was decided that baseball should not be dropped, provided the players supplied their own trans- portation. While it had become necessary to drop the fourteen-game schedule previ- ously arranged, a new seven-game schedule was substituted. Under Captain Mario Palian, the team has consisted of Joe Mattaloni, Peter Novak, Peter Maguire, Ray Baker, mRed7' Lowry, Fred Doherty, Robert Doherty, James Crozier, Michael Fengya, Paul Pelak. Angelo Boniface, and Joe MacMahon. . JosEPH NTOLTANE, June 33. GIRLS, ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls, Athletic Association has just completed the most active scholastic semester in its history. Dedicated to the purpose of promoting and administering various sports the Association this year sponsored swimming, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, archery, horseback riding. croquet. and other special activities. The largest group that the Association took charge of this term was the social dancing class which met twice weekly and was composed of boys as well as girls. A professional dancing mistress was engaged and an accomplished pianist provided to accompany the students. Kay Lennon and Bertha Pasieka conducted the activities of the soccer group which met every Tuesday. At the same time the girl baseball enthusiasts met on another part of the field under the direction of Mary Maccia and Janet Weber. On Thursday of each week a variety of individual games was offered. Instruction in tumbling, handball, and the use of apparatus was given inside the gymnasium during the time that horseshoes and archery were pursued outside. The large group interested in indoor sport was under the superintendence of Lee Bosshardt, Betty Donnelly, Helen Schafer, Eleanor Alt and Mary Hanzl. The excellent record of the Association is a tribute to the foresight of its organ- izers who years ago were imbued with the value of student participation in the man- agement of sports. The present officers of the Association are: Mary Hanzl, president, Elsie Stich. vice-president, Hedwig Lugos, business manager, and Marion Young secretary. Miss Mary C. Kelly, Mrs. Alice De Leeuw and Mr. Nutt are the sponsors. IVIARGARET BIALEK. June 36. Forty-nine THE REFLECTOR mal -IW ANNEX TOURNAMENTS I From the manner in which the Annex pupils are taking to athletic tournaments it seems that that portion of the school will have to be called the High School Athletic Farm. During the past season the boys have conducted a basketball elimination tourna- ment. After eliminations the girls too formed a championship basketball team. The two championship teams are pictured in this issue of the Reflector. Similar eliminations were held in indoor and outdoor baseball. The tournament idea also was carried over into dramatics when the girls of each gym class staged plays on health and character building. The plays were judged and special grades given to the winners. TENNIS PROSPECTS Instead of playing other teams from outside this year, the Tennis Team has been content to challenge members of the faculty in practice games on the courts ad- joining the High School. Should conditions improve in September, some contests may be arranged with outside teams by Coach Benson. GOLF HANDICAPS The members of this yearas golf squad had to dig down deep in their plus fours and pay their own green fees. The late start of the season made it impossible to arrange any schedule of matches with nearby student golfers. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Hendall Hamm the squad has been holding prac- tice rounds at the Broadacres Course in Richfield. notably the Clifton High Revue. held for the purpose of raising funds necessary STATE GYM MEET Roger Mather and ,lack Mulligan, proteges of Coach Donnelly in the art of tumbling, represented Clifton at the State meet held at Barringer High School, Newark. With a number of other gymnasts they also appeared at a number of local exhibitions, notably the Clifton High Revue held for the purpose of raising funds necessary to carry on athletics this year. f BO YS' SWIMMING TEAM According to present plans a swimming team will be organized next term by Coach Claxton. Since the boys are far behind the girls in this activity, there is little doubt that swimming will be very popular with the boys in the fall.

Africa-land of a thousand terrors' The night was darkg a pale moon shone weirdly in the black foreboding heavens. With his back to the cliff the hero faced the hideous natives. Knives glistened. Beads of perspiration stood out upon the brow of our hero. One of the natives, who seemed to be the high priest, had his knife raised, ready for the 'coup de grace. T The whole scene was awful. Our hero had one arm missingg two natives each had a leg gone, and the priest had but one eye. On one side of our hero there was a hridge, but parts of it were gone. It would have been suicide for him to try to escape that way. It was a tense moment. Suddenly the silence was broken when Mr. Bang slammed his fist down upon the table and sent the rest of the family scampering to look for the missing pieces of the jig-saw puzzle. J, KOOSMAN.

Pupil Cashiers with the us left out. THE AWAKENING I found niyself one clay, quite vain, Seated inside an aeroplane. I rose, I flew up in the sky, And rode with many a bird on high. All like a dream it seemed to me- The winds, the trees, the clouds, the sea, The people who looked so small below, My motor that buzzed so sweet and low. I moved the stick from back to front, And did every other entrancing stunt- An outside loop, a dizzy whirl, I hopped about just like a squirrel. I saw the gauge, the gas was low, Soon would come the end of my show, So down I went, just skimming the trees, And landed my plane, light as the breeze. I landed softly on the field. Oh then! My heartls great ill was healed At last I had flown my own dear plane, And landed safely on earth again. But how could such a thing be true? Something was radically wrong, I knew.
