At that time there were only the seventh, eight , ninth, and tenth grades, the last being the present Senior class. Heretofore, classes had been carried on in the basement rooms of the College, but in November, the school was moved into its new building. Here we were faced with a new problem. We had no traditions, and less than a hundred students to establish fitting standards. Although there were a school constitution and a student Council, neither one had become definitely a part of the school government. The year 1930 was to be an important one in the founding of the school organization. The Science, Dramatic, and Glee clubs were started by the students. A school orchestra and a small band were formed. In April of 1930, the operetta Hansel and Gretel was given very success- fully by the combined efforts of the Glee Club and the English depart- ment. Thus was established a worthy dramatic and musical standard for the College High School. In the next year, 1931, athletics took the major role in school activi- ties with the founding of the Athletic Association. Athletic equipment, baseball and basketball uniforms were purchased with the membership fees of this Association. School songs and cheers were composed, and the school colors, orange and black, were chosen. Several new clubs were organized in this year, namely the French and Art clubs. Both of these have increased greatly. In February, Booth Tarkington ' s play Seventeen was given by the class of ' 32 in the Mt. Hebron School auditorium. The play was extremely successful, a success largely due to the hard work of coaches, actors, and committees. The performance was presented primarily to earn money for the first year book. A prize of an orange and black banner bearing the numerals of the winners was presented to the class of 36 for having sold the most tickets. The year 1932 has seen the greatest advancement in the College High School. The two outstanding features were the reorganizing of the Student Council and the establishing of the school paper, the CriePv. The Student Council, which previously had not been able to find its real place in the school life, started on a career activity. A new constitution was drawn up, for the old one was found to je, insufficient. The College High School Standards, which combines all the rules and standards established in the school from its beginning, was edited. Student tutoring, an interesting and highly successful project, was spo — - h r the Council. The adoption of a school flag, suggested by the v lub of the ninth grade, and the letter award for athletic prowess ,vert ..er matters under its charge. The establishment of the CRIER was a big stride forward in the High School organization. T he paper has helped to make the school more acquainted with its own activities, and has stimulated interests in projects which would have otherwise passed unnoticed. Now the school is filled to its capacity of one hundred and fifty students in the combined Junior and Senior Schools. These students come from many different towns in the vicinity, but the school has made them into a cooperating student body which is working for the school ' s further improvement, and is endeavoring to build up a worthy tradition for sub- sequent classes to follow. 10 SENIORS 11 Class ' ice -esidcnt, ' 3 Student Council P..

ISABEL ANDERSON Isabel was the president of cur student council for the first half of the senior year, and she was the editor of the year book, both hard jobs as the school had no precedents to work on. Isabel is a leader, and what is more, a leader who can make other people work. Because of all these activities and her studies, school must take a good deal of Isabel ' s time, nevertheless she always finds time to ride. She is ob- viously and wholly crazy about horses. We are all familiar with the Anderson Ford station wagon, and the abandon with which Isabel drives it. Slim, with dancing eyes and vivacious character, one of the most delightful things about Isabel is that one never knows exactly what she is going to do or say next. 12 a?

Li class every word he speaks seems to be a distinct effort; he should worry, he. gets on the honor roll with remarkable regularity. Despite his deliberateness, Everett is very interested and very good in athletics. He is one o£ the high lights of the basketball team, and among the first out for any other sport. Though he is very modest about it, Everett is said to be a super-scientist, anything technical intrigues him. Someone found out recently, that though he saunters leisurely up to school in the morning, he dees some tearing to catch his train. Class Mcc Student Cou.

Perhaps the fact that he has also numerous tennis and swimming cups is not so well known. Never- theless, everyone knows of the great value he has been to the basketball team. Dick ' s good nature is as familiar to the school as his golden hair, and both serve as well to make him thoroughly popular. For a long time he has been quite interested in his saxophone, and though the orchestra has repeatedly urged him to join its ranks, he is rather shy about his musical abilities. As the father, Mr. Baxter, in Seventeen, Dick gave a very convincing, and often times a very amusing perform- ance. 14 French Club, Glee Cub, ' 3 ' J, ' 31, ' 32 Dramatic Club, ' 31 Art Club, ' 30 Basketball, ' 30 MARJORIE CORCORAN Marge is one of those rather quiet people who survey each new- comer before they decide to call him friend. But once she accepts you, she will never reject you. She is one of those people whom the world seeks out in every nook and cranny and then holds in high esteem. Mac always seems to be occupied in thought, if not in conversation. While the rest of us are conjugating subjunctives and trying to understand col- loidal chemistry, she is off somewhere, in theory if net reality, having a peach of a time. Mac has a delightful soprano voice and ably assists the Glee Club in its musical efforts. 15 Class Trfc?surer, ' 30, ' 31 CRIER Staff, ' 32 French Club, ' 31, ■32 Dramatic Club, ' 31, ' 32 CATHERINE DeLAMATER Whenever literature is the subject of discussion, most of the class backs discreetly out of the picture and leaves the question to Kate. She has read unlimited quantities of all the things that well-read people should read, and a lot more besides. In English the class gapes in ignorant innocence when Katie argues psychological issues with Mr. Bohn. She is also very much interested in dramatics. One needs only to recall her excellent work as Guinevere in our Sophomore production of Idylls of the King in order to appreciate her abilities. Kate is, moreover, a capable manager, as her work on Seventeen and her coaching of several English projects prove. 16 v Secretary, ' 30, ' 32 Dramatic Jl ub, ' 31, Secretars ' .

Quiet and self-contained, when Jane does speak, she always commands attention. In spite of a natural reticence, she is so self-possessed that it is impossible to faze her. A repu- tation for athletic prowess has sprung up about Jane as a result of her active playing on the Senior basketball team. Always generous, Jane loans freely of the five dollar bill ever present in her wallet. Knowing what she wants and when she wants it, Jane claims that she will never marry unless the lucky groom earns at least $ 1 1 5 per week.

ELDRIDGE The shining light of the class, its most popular and conscientious member, is Rudder. He is always on the honor roll and at least two important committees. His ability, willingness, and genial dis- position are forever getting him into anything worth while. When Rudder is in charge, one always has the comfortable feeling that the job will be well ,finished and on time. As class president, student council president, and news editor of the Crier, Rudder has worked hard and brought about quick and excellent results. His perfect per- sonification of Willy in Seventeen was the high spot of the per- formance not soon to be forgotten by the school. Many long classes have been considerably cheered up by Rudder ' s sense of humor, and much gaiety has been evoked by his amusing manner. 18 Class vice-Prpsident, ' 32 Student Council Vice-President, ' 31 Year Book Staff French Club, ' 31 Dranaatic Club, ' 31, Vice-Presi- dent, ' 32 Basketball, ' 30, ' 31, ' 32 Hockey, ' 30, ' 31 ANN ELLIOT Ann is the class ' s most all-around member. Whether it be sports, a dance, or activities of any sort, she is sure to be there, ready and willing to undertake any job. She is one of those persons who can play a good rough game of basketball and finish up looking perfectly neat and com- posed. It is Ann who was responsible for the bottomless punch bowl at the Senior High dance, and Ann also contributed a large share of the excellent spirit which made the dance such a success. Outside of school she has many interests such as music, books, and dances, interests which go far to prove her versatility and wide-spread capabilities. 19 Class Treasurer 31 Science Club, ' 31, ' 32 CHARLES FINLEY Have you ever noticed anyone around school in a particularly nice green sweater? Someone who reminds us of the glories of Illinois, and who is crazy about photography? Charles, or Chassis as he is more often called, isn ' t exactly what one would call a ladies ' man, but we understand that he corresponds with a certain young lady who dwells out in the Middle West. Photography isn ' t the only field in which Charles is proficient j in warmer weather the tennis courts are often witness to his eflforts. He spends a great deal of time in the science room in pursuit of scientific knowledge of all sorts. This fact is doubt- less preliminary to his future career, he wants to be a science teacher, and we ' ve no doubt that he will make an excellent one. 20 Basketball, ' 12 GRACE HATCH Grace has been in the College High for only a very few months, and because of her quiet and unaflFected manner, we don ' t know much about her. She was one of the too few people in the class who seemed to know enough about Burke ' s Conciliation Speech to merit an A on the final testj to the class, that means something. Grace, from her first day in school here, came out faithfully for basketball. She ' s a good player, and appeared at the crucial moment for the seniors. It is not generally known what Grace ' s chemistry marks are, but she seems al- ways to be studying the subject in the library, usually with one eye o-n her book, and one eye on Gertrude. CRIER Staff, ' 32 Year Book Staff Science Club, ' 31, Secretary, ' 32 STUART JEFFERSON We all know that stocky, light-haired, blue-eyed fellow who shuffles around school. He is a splendid student. In fact for a long time we all wondered what he did besides study. It came out in the end that among other things he was interested in electricity. Yet electricity and studying do not keep Jeff occupied all of the time. He steals a few minutes now and then to have some fun. Jeff has evidently felt that the school needed adornment and set about to rectify the lack of it. We have all seen the displays which he has placed in the show cases from time to time. In- deed, Jeff has always been thoughtful about doing those little things which everyone so appreciates. 22 French Club, 31, ' 32 GERDA LUDERS Good-natured Gerda always does her bit for everyone despite the large amount of kidding she takes from the class. Gerda early showed signs of possessing an unusual character, having at one time been the col- lege psychology department ' s pet study. However, probably because the professors had learned only that which Gerda wished to reveal, she was soon sent on her way, told that her I.Q. was too high to warrant further study of her character. One often hears Gerda trilling a little song to herself, or wailing out in French class I ' m sorry. Mademoiselle. Life, to Gerda, with a German classic in front of her, a stubborn silence over her, and a luscious dessert at her side, is all one bowl of cherries. 23 Class Secretary, ' 30, ' 3i, ' 32 Student Council, ' 31, ' 32 Year Book Staff CRIER Staff, ' 32 French Club President, ' 31, ' 32 Basketball, ' 30, ' 31, ' 32 Hockey, ' 30, ' 31, ' 32 INGEBORG LUDERS Ingeborg is our most perfect example of strong character and a pleas- ing personality. As a secretary she is without an equal. We are well aware of the promptness and detail of her minutes (though few of us can read her writing), Inga is constantly on the honor roll, faithfully and enthusiastically present at sports, and a tireless worker on every committee or club with which she is connected. Her energetic and capable manage- ment of the invitation committee of the Senior High dance and of the French Club, was not only inspiring but also largely responsible for the success of both enterprises. We will always remember her weakness for debates and the tenacity with which she defends her point. 24 French CJnb, ' 3 1 Craftangle President, ' 32 Orchestra, ' 31, ' 32 Basketball, ' 31, ' 32 GERTRUDE McCORMACK Gertrude ' s sprightly, pleasant, and helpful disposition has been a tremendous help to the seniors. In any project she is always so willing to help, and always does things so well. In taking charge of the class rings and pins, Gert was given a big responsibility. The efficiency with which she took hold of and accomplished the job can hardly be questioned. As president of Craftangle, Gertrude has been busy and interested, and the club has thrived. She, herself, is very fond of art and drawing, and has produced some very commendable work. As the chairman of the Senior Dance entertainment committee, Gert worked diligently and her capabili- ties made a very favorable impression. 25 Student Council, ' 31, ' 32 Year Book Staff French Club, ' 31, ' 32 Basketball, ' 31, ' 32 Hockey, ' 31, ' 32 RUTH MARGRETT Someone is giggling. Now who can that be? Yes, it sounds like the ?vlargrett giggle. It is so infectious that without knowing the joke at all one starts laughing in sympathy. It enlivens even the deadest classes. Yet Ruth isn ' t always laughing, she can really be serious. The way she has managed the photography end of the Year Book has proved that. It was a hard task and she did it well. She is always willing to work, yet never takes anything so seriously that she can ' t find something to laugh about. 26 Baseb. , ' 30 Basketball, ' 31, ' 32 Science Club, ' 32 Year Book Staff JOE HARRIS ROGERS If there is anyone in this school slower than Everett Ball, it ' s Joe Rogers. We ' ve ne ver known him to make a deliberately speedy gesture. Even his speech, that slow. Southern drawl, is very character- istic. Here is something, though, which very likely is not known to everyone. Jce does like to dance to fast music, the faster the better. He ' s a good dancer, too. Joe has a decided talent for drawing 5 every- one was tremendously taken by his posters and programs for Seven- teen. The Seniors will always remember Joe, shambling along under his grey felt hat with the cut off brim and the sticker on the side. Also they will recall with chuckles the tales he tells in library. 27 Student Council, ' 30, Vicc-Pi evi- dent, ' 31, ' 32 Year Book Staff CRIER Staff French Club, ' 31 Dramatic Club, ' 31, ' 32 Basketball, ' 30, ' 31, ' 32 Hockey, ' 30, ' 31, ' 32 ELIZABETH H. RUSLING Libby comes to us every morning from the wilderness known as the Caldwell Styx. As little Lola Pratt in the Junior play, Seventeen, she showed the benefit of much experience in the unaffected manner in which she portrayed the petite coquette. We are not surprised at her popularity, for, as Mile. Poreau says, Libby ' s eyes are always sparkling. Always dependable, Libby has been showered with positions of respon- sibility during her three years at College High. She has been class secre- tary, feature editor of the CRIER, assistant editor of the Year Book, and three times Council vice-president. This fall Libby plans to attend Wil- liam Smith College, where we expect another brace of male hearts to be disrupted. 28 Glee Club, ' 31 Basketball, ' 30, ' 31, ' 32 LOIS TOMPKINS To hear Tommy singing lustily in the locker room, or dashing madly off to the dog-wagon for lunch, one would never dream that her biggest interest in life is babies. Could it be that the total absence of baby pictures from the library magazines is due to Tommy: Because of her height, she is a valuable asset to the basl etball team, anti the team always has a pleasantly secure feeling when she comes in as jump. Tommy ' s sense of humor and her ready tongue are the causes of many lively outbursts in and out of class, and her friendliness and genial ways have won her many friends. 29 Class President, ' 32 Year Book Staff, ' 32 CRIER Staff French Club, ' 31, Secretary, ' 32 RANDOLPH ZANDER Randolph, the coin and stamp enthusiast, finds a medium of ex- pressing his rare sense of humor in the columns of the CRIER. As its managing editor he has seen the first issue of the paper come out with flying colors, and in the capacity of editor, has held the CRIER to the highest of journalistic standards. Randolph, the honor student, would not recognize a B on a report card if he saw one, having for the past year and a half received perfect grades in his five subjects. In spite of his general proficiency, Randolph finds economics, (that study of money with its pertinent relation to life), the most engrossing of his studies. Indeed this is logical, since it is rumored that he hopes to become a bear in Wall Street after his graduation from Columbia. 30 CLASS WILL Wo, the senior class o± the College High School, being of a sound and disposing mind and memory do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. We hereby devise and bequeath: All illustrations by Randolph Zander of gentlemen committing hari-kari, to be hung in , the library for the enjoyment of those who seek relaxation from studies.

Constance Anderson MEMBERS Jack Keuffcl — Harriet Burgess — John Schleicher — Catherine Cushman Josephine Murray — Jim Boyd — Aileen Pinkerton — Dan Jenkins Adelma Armstrong — Charles Stotz — Ruth Margrett — Isabel Anderson In the first two years of its existence, the Student Council was a doubtful child. It seemed to lean toward sleeping ( as most young children do) and was always falling down and bumping its knees. How- ever, this year under the capable management of Isabel x nderson, it was picked up, dusted ofF, and set firmly on its feet. In the second term, Rudyard Eldridge has taught it to walk and to run a little bit. One of its most notable enterprises is the student tutoring in charge of Elizabeth Rusling. Students with high scholastic standing help those who are less fortunate than they in their comprehension of certain subjects. The Council appoints home room monitors whose duty it is to see that the class rooms are left in proper order. The two monitors for each grade, one student council member, and one appointed by the Council from the class at large, hold office for one marking period. The Council also successfully backed the Junior and the Senior school parties. In March, the Council inaugurated a new idea, that of having authorities from the student body sit in on discussions concerning their particular activities. One of the most important tasks was to draw up a constitution for the school as the old one proved inadequate. The council also prepared a code of ethics: The College High Standards. This is to familiarize the new pupils with the school ideals and standards of conduct. In collaboration with the Weusnco Club the Council chose designs for a school flag which were voted upon by the student body. 45 CALENDAR September 18 Opening of school October 27 J.

' io.U Copt, 48 BOYS ' ATHLETICS, 1931-1932 This is the second year that the College High basketball team has had the opportunity to play a fairly large and representative schedule. Last year the Orange and Black quintet played, for the most part, the second teams and reserves of the high schools throughout the northern part of New Jersey. The team accounted itself most satisfactorily, win- ning a large percentage of its games. In ' 32, on the basis of the strength of last year ' s squad, games were scheduled almost entirely with the varsity teams of the hig h schools in this vicinity. Only two of last year ' s regulars returned. Nevertheless, Coach Hohn managed to create a fairly creditable team from the green material at his command. The season opened on Friday, December 1 1 , at Tenafly. The team was inexperienced, and unable to cope with the veterans of Tenafly . The final score of the game was 44-12. Three days later the team travelled to Verona, and, although showing great improvement, was subdued by a score of 20-8. On January 11, the faculty was defeated 35-29. In the next game, Belleville defeated the Orange and Black 28-18, in a pre- liminary game in the college gym. The team fared better on January 1 5, at Glen Ridge. The game was hotly contested, and was finally won by ttie Glen Ridge team in an extra period, 23-21. Our quintet met the junior varsity of the college on the 20th of January, a nd Montclair Academy on the next day. The game against the Montclair Academy resulted in a defeat, largely due to the small size of their gym. College High was victorious over the college junior varsity by a score of 36-28. Meeting the Montclair High School reserves on January 27, the Orange and Black boys were defeated by a lucky shot dropping through the basket after the finishing gun. At Caldwell, Coach Hohn ' s boys were sub- dued by a more experienced squad, 29-17. Tenafly, traveling to Mont- clair, again scored to the tune of 35-18. Caldwell was victorious, and Kingsley took the measure of the Orange and Black boys at 28-19. Tea- neck invaded the Montclair stronghold and again carried oif the honors. The game, however, was fast and close, anci a marked improvement was in the attack of the College High quintet. In the final game of the 49 season, on February 14, the team finally found itself, and swept to a 35-18 victory against Brookdale. In this game the teamwork which had been missing all season, finally clicked, and the result was entirely satis- factory. Prospects for next year are bright. The squad loses only two men by graduation. Ball and Colman. Although these two were regulars, their shoes will be competently filled by Jenkins and Bruning, two very prom- ising reserves. The probable line-up of the varsity next year will be Costello and Marquardt, guards j Stotz and Jenkins, forwards j Bruning, center. These boys have all gained valuable experience this year, and we hope they will make good use of it in the next year ' s campaign. ?0 JUNIOR BOYS ' ATHLETICS Probably the most encouraging sign on the sports horizon of the College High was the intense interest shown by the boys of our Junior High. iVcting under their own initiative they formed a basketball squad, arranged their practice to fit the schedule of the varsity, and built up a schedule of their own. This activity cannot be praised too highly. It is an expression of boys themselves, their initiative, and their leadership in carrying out their own athletics, which bids well for future College High teams. In the first game of their schedule, the team, made up of ninth grade boys, played the Verona ninth graders at Verona. Our boys played a great game considering their lack of experience, but went down to defeat by the score of 21-15. Not satisfied with their showing in this game, the boys went to work to improve their playing. After two weeks of hard practice they again challenged the Verona boys, and this time the tables were turned, coming up from behind in the last 40 seconds, they won the game by the close score of 16-15. Meeting Mt. Hebron, a school of some seven hundred students, the College High quintet put up a good, fast game, but finally succumbed 21-23. The game was nip and tuck all the way, with some excellent shooting by Ross Faulkner, The experience of the Mt. Hebron five, however, was too much for our boys. Among the seventh graders, basketball has also been a great fav- orite, and at almost any hour one could see them practicing diligently. Captain Louis Tompkins was able to schedule only one game for his team. Mt. Hebron took them into camp in a game played in the College High gym. These boys are gaining more than a good time. They are getting a background of experience, which is probably the most valuable factor in basketball. For their sportsmanship, perseverance, and initiative, we say: Here ' s to you! 51 L. Stiff — I.

Anderson GIRLS ' HOCKEY The 1931 girls ' hockey season consisted entirely of practice games played after school with the College. These games were very brisk and exciting, for it was not easy for the high school girls to score against the college team. The two sides were, however, very evenly matched, and everyone enjoyed those fast games played in the late fall. Miss Duke, referee and instructor, coached both teams in order to make the playing speedier and more interesting. Toward the end of the season there was a marked improvement in both inciividual and team play. 52 L. Tompkins — M. Corcoran — I. Anderson — A. Elliot — P. x ustin — D. Tillson f. Dosch — 1. Luders A.

Pinkcrton GIRLS ' BASKETBALL The series of inter-class games wen by the senior team, which marked the climax cf the girls ' basketball season, proved the good effects of afternoon practicing. The gym was reserved every Wednes- day for the girls interested in playing basketball. A college student was appointed to referee and coach on those afternoons. In the latter part of the season, inter-class games were organized. The first of these, between the tenth and twelfth grades, was the best-played game of the series. The sophomores were unable to over- come the lead gained by the seniors in the first quarter. The game between the tenth and eleventh grades resulted in a decisive victory for the sophomores. The juniors bore their defeat gallantly. The final contest, between the juniors and the seniors, resulted in another senior victory. With the termination of this game, the 1932 girls ' basketball season closed. 53 GIRLS ' ATHLETICS Besides the major sports of hockey and basketball, the girls have been spending their gym periods in practicing archery, volley ball, base- ball, and tennis. The archery, which was taken up last fall, and practiced until the weather interfered, was much enjoyed by the girls, although no great degree of accuracy was attained by any one. Many points, however, such as the correct position of the hands, arms, and bow, were thoroughly learned. In the winter, between the times given up to basketball, volley ball became the main activity, and teams were organized for the class periods. Last year a volley-ball team was organized to play the Caldwell High School, the game resulting in a victory for the College High girls. Baseball in the spring, and tennis in summer, were gladly taken up, especially the latter, for, with the completion of the new tennis courts, more people were interested in improving and learning the game, a thing they were unable to do formerly because of the scarcity of tennis courts. Baseball, on the other hand, was a very minor activity. The infrequency of gym periods, and the shortness of the ones the girls did have, tended to discourage interest in the sport, for, unlike tennis, two cannot play at it during lunch hour, or after school. Thus, with all the minor activities and the two major ones, the girls had a full year of sports in 1931-32, although they were unable to special- ize in any one sport or organize varsity teams for inter-scholastic games, as in boys ' athletics. 54 f flCTI VI TIE5 £ 55 56 THE YEAR BOOK Editor-in-Chief Isabel Anderson Assistant Editor Elizabeth Rusling Social Editor Ann Elliot Girls ' Sports Editor Ingeborg Luders Boys ' Sports Editor Richard Colman Business Manager Stuart Jefferson Assistant Business Manager and Photography Ruth Margrett Advertising Manager Rudyard Eldridge Assistant Photography Manager Charles Finley Art Editor Randolph Zanders Assistant Art Editor Joe Rogers Facility Adviser Mr. Warriner To be a first graduating class is certainly a responsibility, and the Year Book staff has realized this more, perhaps, than anyone else. We wanted our first annual to be a success, and we wanted it to set a worth- while precedent for the other classes t o follow. Although our general impressions of year books were formed, they were very vague j consequently we have tried to work out a year book characteristic of our school and not characteristic of other year books. The members of the staff have worked hard in formulating their ideas and suggestions, and it is to be hoped that the book will enjoy a reputation worthy of their efforts. 57 58 SENIOR SCIENCE CLUB • S ; Jefferson, E.

Vice President Charles Finley Secretary-Treasurer Stuart Jefferson Program Joe Harris Rogers Transportation Paul Bruning Faculty Sponsor Mr. Bingham The activities of the senior club have been confined, for the most part, to visits to local industries. The club has witnessed a variety of manufacturing processes which included everything from mining iron ore to the manufacture of artificial ice. Meetings for which no trips were planned provided time for laboratory demonstrations of numerous scien- tific phenomena. JUNIOR SCIENCE CLUB F. Cowley, R. Moser, C. Wight, J, Flowers H. PiSTOR, H.

Mr. Bingham This year, after the division of the Science Club into a Junior and Senior organization, the former elected its own officers and started ar- ranging a schedule of its own programs. The club ' s laboratory meetings have been tempered with occasional field trips to factories, and to places of scientific interest in this section of New Jersey. The laboratory pro- grams, carried on by members of the club, have included tallcs on radio, airplanes, chemistry, and rock formation.

Reichenbach Faculty A dvisers Phil D. Collins — Mrs. Phyllis Abbott Peacock The College High Crier has finished its first year successfully, and with next year ' s staff chosen, it hopes to carry on in the traditions founded by the present staff. The Crier was organized last fall as a four page bi-weekly pub- lication under the sponsorship of Phil D. Collins. A temporary staff was appointed until the new enterprise should be definitely founded. In order to select a suitable name for the paper, the staff held a competition. All members of the student body were urged to contribute suggestions for the namej Lovell Lawrence won. After the publication of the first four issues, tryouts for a permanent staff confirmed almost all of the early appointments. The staff members have remained the same through- out the year with the exception of new reporters, and the addition of a group of advertising solicitors. In March, because of unavoidable difficulties, the Crier had to switch to a monthly basis. The editors have tried to make up in quality what they have lost in quantity. The Crier was organized for several reasons, primarily, to provide a school newspaper, an activity which every wide-awake school should have, and secondly, to give some experience in journalism to those who were interested. Although this year there has been rather an unequal division of the work of the Crier, those who have been on the staff all agree that they have gained a valuable and enjoyable experience. 61 ■■ mvmmim mmmmmimm mw mmi, mw t mm Hi m wmimmmmmmmilmifii f ' - ' y. r% Osi BAND AND ORCHESTRA Sponsored by Miss McEachern Shirley Lowenhaupt Alexandra Tillson Hugh Cleveland Diana Tillson Whitacre Cushman Ray Martin Bcb Mecse Jack Keuffel John Bve Earl Dean Faulkner Dan Jenkins Stuart Jefferson Marjorie Davis Margaret Lloyd Robert Pepper Carlette Mueller Katherine Webster Gertrude McCormack Gardner 62 I.

Stiff FRENCH CLUB President Ingeborg Luder.s Secretary Randolph Zander The French Club was organized last year by Miss Poreau with a membership of about ten students, all from the senior high school. Dur- ing its first year, the club w ent to New York several times to visit inter- esting French places. This year the club again assembled with most of the original members. The meetings have been devoted to talks en various phases of French life, art, and literature. Miss Gatti, last year ' s ex- change student. Miss Holz, and Miss Zaya are among those who have addressed the club. All meetings are conducted in French, a regulation which has somewhat limited membership. Nevertheless, from the begin- ning a lively interest has been shown in this organization, an interest doubtless due to the sponsor. Miss Poreau. 63 Adelma Armstrong — Gertrude McCormack — Isabel Anderson Ruth Margretc — Elizabeth Rusling THE TAP DANCING CLASS A new feature of the sclicol this year was the girls ' Tap Dancing class. It is under the direction of Miss Duke, and Miss Thompson from the College plays the piano. Only those girls who were really interested in tap dancing were invited to join, consequently we had a group, though small, of enthusiastic and hardworking tappers. Every Thursday after- noon the class meets and spends a very pleasant hour tapping out many peppy rhythms. The senior members who were in the majority, wish the class the best of luck and hope that the number and interest of the dancers will increase. 64 DRAMATICS CAST OF SEVENTEEN Dan Jenkins — John Pistor — Elizabeth Rusling — Rudvard Eldridge — Gerda Luders Dick Colman — Isabel Anderson — Ann Elliot — Charles Finley — Alger Jenkins jane Dosch — Joe Rogers — Jane Bye — Morgan Batten Akhough the Dramatic Club has done comparatively little in pro- ducing plays, it has done all it can to help any of the numerous dramatic productions of the school. Of these performances, the operetta Hansel and Gretel, given by the school and the play Seventeen given by the senior class are the most outstanding. Many different classes have spon- sored entertainments of a dramatic type for assemblies, the P. T. A. and the College. The English department in particular has furnished many delightful hours with such productions as scenes from Idylls of the Kine, Evangeline, and an especially adapted version of Romeo and Juliet. 65 Charles Finlev — Miss McEachern — Charles Stotz — Isabel Anderson Marjorie Corcoran — KathrMi Horner — Anna Silver — Jane Dodd DOUBLE QUARTET Sponsored by Miss McEachern 66 M.

In September there were enough stu- dents interested in art to start what has turned out to be a very worthwhile organization. During the year the members have been busy at various types of art work. The first project consisted of application of designs to different materials j in this way many attractive articles were made. Around Christmas, the members made Christmas cards and succeeded in selling a good many, the returns of which went into the club treasury. Since then they have done soap-carving, wood designing, and painting. Though the club has not made many outside trips, it has visited exhibits at the Montclair Museum several times. 67 THE HALLOWEEN PAj nr T ' On the evening of October 30th, the Junior 1 chool gave n Halloween party. Although it was an affair for the younger students, many of the older ones who still enjoy the traditional games of Hallo- ween were present. Some very interesting features were originated and presented by members of the party committee. Among those features was a musical presentation by the famous Tillson brass quartet. Other entertaining num- bers were provided by Daniel Jenlcins who did a tap dance, and by Miss Harris who whistled several selections while accompanying herself on the banjo. Halloween games were played throughout the evening. The party was especially colorful as a result of the lovely and amusing costumes worn by the guests. Two prizes for costumes were awarded, one to Dorothy Fardelmann for the prettiest, and one to Paul Calandra for the funniest. The typically Halloween decorations provided by Craftangle were also highly effective. THE SENIOR HIGH DANCE On the evening of January 29th., the Senior High held a winter dance. The brilliantly decorated gymnasium, the quantities of colored balloons, and the gay, enthusiastic gathering of young people all contrib- uted to the gaiety of the affair. The Student Council had charge of the arrangements and they neglected nothing. Their committees worked faithfully and showed ex- tremely good taste. Certainly the decoration committee deserved a unani- mous vote of praise for their originality. The gym was hung from one end to the other with gay streamers and balloons j floodlights at either end lent a colored glow to the whole floor. The music, which everyone thought was excellent, was provided by Phil Bennett ' s orchestra. Enjoyable features of the evening were the lucky number dance, the balloon dance, and the punch bowl which seemed to possess the magic quality of never being empty. 68 The ColJege High School, and particularly the Senior class, extends its sincere thanks to the class of 1933 of the College for changing the name of its year book, La Campanilla, (the little bell) so that the High School might adopt that name. The College year book is henceforth to be called La Campana (the big bellS Such generosity bids fair to foster that cooperative spirit which should always bind the two institutions together. As this decision was reached rather late in the school year, it was impossible for our Year Book to make its debut under its chosen name. Next year, however, the two books will appear as La Campana and La Cam- panilla, and we feel that their names will be uniquely appropriate. 69 Progress Publishing Co.
