It ' s a gift. Ex-school vice-president, on the Crier and Yearbook staffs, star athlete, brainy, and lots of fun — that ' s Peggy. Paul Bruning Paul ' s beautiful drawings are famous around the school. But besides being an ar- tist, he works on the Yearbook and Crier, is a star basketball, baseball, and tennis player, and a marksman of no mean ability. And in spite of all that, he ' s on the Honor Roll. (He also makes puns, but we won ' t dwell on that.) He ' s an all around good guy. Force Cham bcrlain School and tests and homework are not Force ' s idea of bliss ; he lives for such things as vacations and hunting. Still, he seems to have a fairly enjoyable time in spite of Ger- man translations, for he ' s always laughing. AVhen not finishing up that last page of his P. A. D. note-book, or other ' ise engaging in scholarly pursuits, he is generally to be found talking to somebody about something. 10 LA CAMPANILLA 19:54 Hamilton Duffy Hamilton prefers playing ice-hockey to attending school with its trials and tribula- tions. He also likes to hunt, and is a good shot with a rifle. He is the only saxophonist in the school orchestra, and some day when he ' s a star soloist with some famous band, we ' ll proudly say, We knew him when — Hamilton seems rather reserved but isn ' t when vou get him started. Beth Gallup Beth is one of our social lights. And she ' s the invaluable kind who greets guests charm- ingly at a tea and then dashes backstage to finish the sandwiches while the rest of us eat ; the kind who can work all afternoon helping to decorate the gym for a dance and then be the life of the party. Hockey, basketball, tennis, an d the Crier are among her interests. She ' s a grand person. Eleanor Finley Sitting near Eleanor in class may not be conducive to study, but at any rate it ' s en- tertaining, for she enlivens the hour with sotto voce puns, wise-cracks, and quotations. She is also an artist of no mean ability, as the scrap pages of her note-book testify. She ' s a lot of fun. 11 1934 LA ca:mpaxili.a Jean Glenn Jean will laugh at your jokes wliethcr they are good, bad, indifferent, old as some of the younger hills, or even new. She ranks as a super-mind, although she has gotten into hot water arguing with other members of the class on prohibition and similar moot ques- tions. All in all, she is a good scout and in- valuable whenever there ' s anything to be done. Betty Gundlaeh Betty is best known in the Senior class for her ability as a director of plays. Much of the success of The First Dress Suit, which we gave this year, was due to her able coach- ing. And shall we ever forget the grand picnic at Green Pond which she managed for us! Although she is one of the newest members of ovu class, her sunny disposition, willing- ness, and capability ha ' e won her many friends. Robert Harrison Bob is staying at C. H. S. another year to gain more credits for West Point, but having been in our class for nine years he really be- longs in our yearbook. He ' s one of the Senior all-A pupils, plays basketball, baseball, and tennis, is ex-school secretary, and has held innumerable other important positions around school. He ' s as popular as he is use- ful, and altogether we couldn ' t get along without him. 12 LA CAMPANILLA 1984 Willia m Harrison Here is Bill — good old Bill — one of the Senior class ' s mainstays. An excellent stu- dent, he also plays fine baseball, tennis, and basketball for College High. He has a record string of ofiicerships : managing editor of the Crier, business manager of the Yearbook, member of the student council, and class president — to mention only a few. However, we wish he ' d write his homework papers a bit more legibly. Daniel A. Jenkins Dan is another of the old standbys and as one of the class ' s most versatile members has rendered many services to the school. He has held many offices, including that of Stu- dent Council president, worked hard on the Crier, been outstanding in athletics and dra- matics, and in addition, has found time to beat the drum in College High ' s orchestra. Virginia Kloss Giny has been here only a year but it didn ' t take nearly that long for everyone to find out how nice she is. When it ' s time to work she ' s a good conscientious worker as her marks show, but when it isn ' t, she doesn ' t hesitate to have a grand time. She ' s a swell person to have around. And how she can play the piano! 13 1934 LA CAMPAXILI.A IjOVcU Ldicrciicc Lovell has stood for a lot of kidding, but he ' s taken it good naturedly, and is well liked by the class. It was he who named the school paper and he has worked on it annually. Electricity, however, is his sphere, and he has given the class many interesting demonstra- tions. Margaret Lloi d Margaret is a capable, efficient business manager for the Cn ' er, an indefatigable class treasurer, and a star archer; she is also simply loads of fun. Suggest any form of entertainment, from a picnic to a scavenger hunt and she ' s ready with enthusiasm and lots of ideas. And though invariably dashing off some place, be it Newark, Cape Cod, camp, or the movies, she always has time for a joke. Jurgcn E. Liidcrs ' ' .Jawgen is another of the class artists though he deplores his ability so much that we seldom see any evidence of it. He is slightly addicted to blushing but has earned the admiration of all for his unflagging ef- forts in athletics He was one of the Seniors ' best Chancellors of the Excheciuer and has entered into several other class activities. 14 LA CAMPANILLA V.VM ' Karl Marqiiardt Kali is one of the few who have conic thro ugh College High from kindergarten. His forte is his athletic ability which is as fa- mous throughout the school as his slick hair- comb. He has always starred on any team that College High put forth and we don ' t know what they ' re going to do without him next year on the teams and in the library. Jack Margrett Jack is a happy-go-lucky fellow, but he certainly can lug a football! He has been with us a good time now and has established himself as aw rite. He is about the craziest in the class and has an unparalleled collec- tion of choice quotations and little ditties to be sung during class — any class. James A. Meese Not many people in the class know Jim well, but those that do recognize that he has a keen sense of humor and artistic as well as athletic ability. His quiet and steady play on the basketball and baseball teams is char- acteristic of his nature. He has likewise worked for the C -ier, appeared in many plays, and held responsible class offices. IS 1934 i.A ca:mpaxili.a Gerhard H. Rabclcr Gerhard has been with us only tAvo years, but his cheerfulness and willingness to learn have made him a fine tackle in addition to establishing him as a good egg. He makes the Honor Roll regularly, but his aw nuts when he receives only 85 on a test has made us wonder what the fellows are like in Ger- many. Adolpli Sucksdorf We wouldn ' t know what to do without Adolph. He ' s been school president twice, ]ilays baseball and basketball, works on the Yearbook and Ci-ier, makes the Honor Roll every term, and spends the rest of the time in keeping us all in gales of laughter. Every- one who knows Adolph thinks he ' s superb. You can take our word for it, too. Marj oric Thomson Though Midge is one of the best-dressed girls in the class, she ' s not just decorative. She was chairman of our successful first Senior-Alumni dance, proofreads for the Crier, and works on the Yearbook staff. And while she has a reputation for being able to make the most nonsensical remarks, she can act perfectly sensible when the occasion de- mands. 16 LA ca:mpanilla 1 ' .r.n Mary Moore Mary is famous for her dramatic skill, and deservedly, for she knows every side of play- producing from setting and costuming to coaching and acting. But that is not her only forte — she is a marvelous dancer, and thanks to her skill at sewing, her wardrobe is the envy of the rest of the girls in the class. Mart] Lee Myers Mary Lee has been the leader of girls ' athletics in the Senior class. As president of the Girls ' Athletic Association she exerted her untiring energy towards promoting a widespread interest in girls ' sports through- out the school. Her services on the Crier have been invaluable. Her vivaciousness, willing- ness, and wholeheartedness have brought her much deserved popularity. George Parr George is primarily interested in all sorts of sports. He plays basketball, baseball, and football, but his favorite is track. His other chief delights are the Army football team and the Yankees (when they win). Scholarly pursuits, except for science and history, do not appeal greatly to him. George is also well known among the Senior boys for his cheese sandwiches. 17 1931. LA ca:mpaxitj.a Grace Thurston Though life would undeniably be quiet and restful without Gracie, it would be exceed- ingly lonesome. In fact, we probably wouldn ' t know what to do without her. When not flirting or studying, she ' s generally to be found propounding one of her numerous ideas to whoever will argue back. Gracie is an all- round good sport and deservedly popular. Grctchcn Tclfcr As one of the artists of the class, Gretchen has invoked much laughter with her cartoons and caricatures of famous people. If you have a nose or chin which is different, you may find yourself in her collection. Though she seems quiet and reserved, she is awfully good fun. AJcwdiidrd Till son Although Alix comes in for her share of teasing about being so helpful, we ' re all glad to have her around. Alix is famous for her skill on about 57 different varieties of instru- ments from okarinas to player pianos. She has also found time to assemble a most com- plete collection of minerals. 18 LA CAMPANILLA 1931 THE SENIOR HISTORY THIS Senior Class, vc modestly admit, is undoubtedly the most versatile, most brilliant, most cooperative, most brainy, brawny, clever, skillful, adroit, kind-hearted, mirthful, athletic, domestic, home-loving — in fact, to put it colloquially, we are the mosta of the besta. We are a shining example which the more youthful should revere, admire, respect, and look up to. We are also probably the most erratic, eccentric, and unbalanced. We weigh in the neighborhood of 3465 pounds and are approximately 144 feet tall, high, up, or long. However, this is to be a class history and so, like all histories, we will begin ' way back when the earth was a mass of steaming gases and Eddy Russ and the College proper the only buildings on the campus. 1921 saw the first members of the class in the present room 10, then the Kindergarten, busy making atrocious ash trays and paper hats, and smearing themselves with paint, clay, and paste in the process. (One member states that it was not until fifth grade that he was able to re- move the last of the mire.) Among them were Beth Gallup, Karl Marquardt, and Adolph Suehsdorf. Beth and Adolph graduated to First Grade and were joined by Bill Harrison, but Karl was left back another year in Kindergarten, because he couldn ' t pass Clay Modeling. Dan Jenkins, Bob Harrison, Jack Areson, and others contrived to make his stay a pleasant one, however. First Grade was featured by the famous Indian tribe of Very Black- feet. (If we ' re wrong, Sioux us.) This remarkable aggregation tramped all over the place with mummified papooses and warped bows and arrows, much to the terror of the janitors in the power house. The First Grade, too, was being first initiated to the mysteries of readin ' , ' ritin ' , and mathematics. The Second Grade was much the same, but harder. The Third Grade ditto. The Fourth Grade — deep stuff now. Division, multiplication, geog- raphy, and books with big words. The many-sided Fifth Grade, under the guidance of Mrs. Torrens, nee Lockwood, tore undaunted into long division, fractions, complex and mixed, turned from that to history, then to reading, from there to penmanship, to music without batting an eye, and so on. And so on. Wotta class ! 19 1934 I.A CAMPANILLA Mrs. Torreiis also lield tliu inaiuig-crial reins duriiifi- the 1927 season, and tlie sixth grade, rcsjjonding like the troupers they were, presenteil The White Company, a stupendous sjiectacle to say the least. With the end of the Sixth grade, came the end of the 9 to 1 day. Hitherto, from kindergarten days onward, these suffering children had had to be in school at nine in the morning and were not released until one in the alternoon. They got no homework and, all in all, life wab pretty miserable. (We have neglected to state the new arrivals entering the class each year because the files buried under third base in the hockey field for safekeeping were almost completely worm-eaten. However, in the interim, Margaret Lloyd, Paul Bruning, Jurgen Luders, Peggy Austin, Eleanor Finley, Jean Glenn, and Mary Moore had joined our ranks, while Mar- (juardt, Jenkins, and Bob Harrison skipped fifth grade to become full- fledged members of the sixth.) The first dramatic production was followed by Joan of Arc, a French play, understood by none of the intrepid Seventh grade ex- plorers in the realm of the French language who gave it. This seventh grade had its first multiplicate faculty, and its first science, manual training, and social studies. The next year they moved into the new building. How they sym- pathized with the fellow who said, The old order changeth, yielding place to new. Eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh years went only too fast. We got the reputation of being a pretty good gang. We sold pencils to get furniture for the class room. Our representatives were on every com- mittee and council the school could devise. We gave innumerable, un- paralleled plays. The school blossomed out with a newspaper. One of our class named it. The rest of us reported, typed, did anything and everything for it. The boys made up the best part of every athletic team we had. We were instrumental in starting the College High orchestra, and were, for many years, its backbone. We infested every club in the place, and were their most active members. It was the same this year. We ' re laughing up our sleeves at the thought of next year ' s baseball team, while the following Criers and 3 ' ear books won ' t be able to touch ours. We guess we just have that extra something, that undefinable piece of mechanism, that makes for cham- pions. 20 LA CAMPANILLA 1 ' .KU The tl„.;e TWoSq .to 21 1934 I.A CAMPAXILLA CLASS WILL THE Senior Class Welfare Society realizes that the rest of the classes are sufit ' ering, that there is a depression, and that it ' s going to be a hard summer. So, if the line will form on the right, we will give out, according to the terms of our will, many things to our needy comrades. 1. We leave to the Junior class, with fiendish glee, those tough English assignments, onlv to realize we ' ll prohahlv be getting touglicr ones in college. 2. The Senior boys leave, with tender regrets, their Goodfellows ' Club (that big room on the second floor with all the books) to the Junior boys who seem to have caught the spirit of our daily gatherings — never a dull moment. 3. To Miss Grundy, the Seniors affectionately leave their remark- able capacity for getting out of work. 4. The wise, sage, and scholarly graduates scatter their knowledge to the four winds because everyone in this school ' s so bright he doesn ' t need it. (Horse laugh heard faintly in distance.) 5. Alix Tillson ' s skill on fifty-seven different varieties of instrument we will to fifty-seven different people. Then perhaps we can have a band. 6. We give Jack Margrett ' s strange assortment of whoops and yells to Mr. Sylvia, to make use of just in case the bells go wrong again. 7. We leave our athletic prowess to the up and coming lads of the Junior High. We wish them many unbeaten and untied chess teams. 8. The Senior lassies leave seven rather dingy, second-hand angel- robes, complete with wings, to the feminine German students around school. (Halos not included — Seniors didn ' t need them.) 9. All brightly-hued hockey shirts (after the fashion of Adolph Suehsdorf ' s blinding tri-colored one) we leave to Mr. Sylvia to add variety to the daily dusting. 10. We leave soothing balms and cooling ointments to Rene Moser, who has taken horrible beatings from the lads in the upstairs locker room. 11. We leave Jeanie Glenn ' s criminally neat notebooks to the incom- ing and unsuspecting seventh graders as a horrible examjilc of what to avoid. 12. The Seniors ' ability to pick sports winners, we leave to Robert Bretland. Will he never learn that Stanford couldn ' t beat Columbia on any sort of field. ' ' 13. The Seniors leave their sense of humor to Cowley, Cleveland and Company. Even if feeble, it ' s better than those puns! 22 LA CAMP AN ILL A 1934 THE SENIOR I ' ROl ' IIECV WE are gazing into the crystal fish bowl to find out what the Seniors will be doing in years to come. Will their youthful dreams of success and happiness be fulfilled? We must pry into the future. We must ask the aid of the supernatural. We will ask the School Spirit. Well, old boy, what ' s the dope on the Seniors of tomorrow.? Ha, the clouded bowl is clearing and we see Bill Harrison. Yes sir. Bill Harrison. And what is Bill doing? Bill is the president of a corrc- sjjondcnce school for people who have trouble doing their homework. And right next to Bill stands Dan Jenkins who is now president of the Davey Tree Surgery Co. We remember that Dan always wanted to be a doctor. The bowl looks troubled now, and as the mists clear we see poor Alix Tillson languishing in jail for swiping minerals from the American Museum of Natural History. Jean Glenn, president of the W. C. T. U., has dropped in to see her. Yes, it ' s Jeanie, now a saloon buster and famous from Maine to California. And who is that locking the cell door? Why, it ' s George Parr. George Parr the turnkey. Well, well. A street scene now. There, in front of a billboard where Paul Bruning ' s photograph advertises Arrow Collars, stands a man in a dull red suit and chin-whiskers, tinking a little bell. You ' ve guessed it. It ' s Jurgen Luders, the Salvation Army Santa Claus. He ' s chatting with Adolph Suehsdorf. Rumor has it that Adie is one of those mean old men who chase autograph-seeking little boys away from dressing-room doors. The bowl again becomes milky and then we see Jack Margrett, the little newsboy. An old man, his slick haircomb now streaked with white, buys a Daily Mirror. It ' s Karl Marquardt, the prominent educator and founder of the Marquardt method of teaching German. He teaches in Emporia and marks papers fort3 ' -seven just for the ' ell of it. His now- feeble eyes rove over the headlines. Here ' s one. Gerhard Rabcler, famous German ski-jumper, breaks neck jumping off Zugspitze. (Ed. note: the Zugspitze is ten thousand feet high.) Another: Gracie Thurston, world-famous evangelist, marries Barnum and Bailey ' s pride and joy, the Deafest Man in the World. But Karl ' s not interested in that. He turns the pages feverishly, does not even stop to glance at Lurid Love Stories, illustrated by Gretchen Telfer, staff cartoonist of the Mirror. At last he comes to the Radio Section. This is what he wants. The Home Kitchen Five Minutes will be conducted by Betty Gundlach every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sundav at 8:00 A. M. over WAAT. Now the bowl is shifting rapidly and we get glimpses of our Seniors 23 1934 LA CA. IPAXILLA in all walks of life. There ' s glamorous Marjorie Thomson, one of JMr. Woohvorth ' s salesgirls in the Edgewater Five and Dime store. Down in New Orleans we see Jim RIeese, fiftv-six year old outfielder of the Xew Orleans Pelicans, at last getting a tryout with Cleveland. It is thought he will replace Lefty Earl Wolgamot. And Hollywood hums Avith the news of Peggy Austin,- exotic and alluring movie siren, whose latest triumph ' ' Hearts Afire has set the critics raving. The scene changes and we see Governess Gallup chumming it in the kitchen with Patrolman Duffy. The long day ' s work is over, and now Nurse, or I izzy as the children love to call her, is getting amusement and relaxation from Dulfy ' s antics. Again the scene shifts and there is Mary Moore, hostess of the Okie Fashioned Tea Shoppe seating guests, shoving menus in their faces, and whispering airy nothings in their ears, such as, the special today is creamed codfish. Next the bowl shows Bob Harrison charging grimly at the head of Battalions A, B, and C, bent on quelling four dissatisfied Patcrson silk strikers whose leader is our own red-headed Mary Lee Myers. As the smoke of battle clears away, we observe Lovell Lawrence guiding the destinies of hundreds as he drives old 438 on the Erie Line. Then we see Counsellor Margaret Lloyd, fondly called Aunt Miggy, moulding the lives of young Americans at Camp Running-Water-in-the- Sunshine. While right across the medder is Ole Force Chamberlain, hoeing ' taters. How ' s crops. Force? Poetess Eleanor Finley (limited edition of complete works bound in limp purple leather, five dollars a copy) is next seen writing free verse in honor of the Ladies ' Literary and Browning Society. While she . writes, there comes a knock at the door. Come in, Mrs. Budge. But who would recognize in her our old pal Virginia Kloss. There thcv arc. Who ' d a thunk it.

WITH the completion of College High ' s present building came the Class o. ' 35. With the Class of ' 35 came chaos. Always first in everything, the ' 35ers early achieved the reputation of being the school ' s most ill-mannered and generally half-cracked aggregation. But with the coming of maturity (and incidentally the loss of some of its better wits) the Class of ' 35 has become a model of courtesy and virtue, in fact quite the cynosure of the school, heaven help it. Judging from the class ' s first dramatic attempt, when Whitty Cushman played a dashing John Alden to Lillian Kent ' s coy Priscilla, none of its members is fated for the professional stage. However, it has since redeemed itself by presenting numerous most entertaining and uneducational dramas, and we forgive. ' Progress brings change or vice-versa ; the Class of ' 35 began to change and knighthood flowered. The boys adopted a courtly manner and the title of Sir. However, the teachers forgot to use this lordly prefix and the unabashed eighth graders chose less pretentious names. It was Mr. Mallory who really sympathized with the chivalrous attitude of the ' 35ers and taught them that oft-recalled adage, Promptness is the pride of Kings. This probably accounts for the exemplary prompti- tude of its members in going to classes, and the perpetual tardiness of Tex Flowers who is an out-and-out Socialist. Knighthood died a quick and awful death in the ninth grade, as it was the topic of study in English class. Chivalr} ' gave way to politics, and the class was divided into two formidable factions : girls and boys. In this same year the girls started that delightful tradition of hold- ing an honor banquet at the end of each academic year for the out- standing participants in school activities. [Editor ' s Note: Yes, the ' 35ers have always been first in everything, including the lunchroom. But they are really a capable bunch, and to them the Seniors lovingly entrust the traditions of College High.] 27 1934 LA CAINIPAXILLA THE TENTH GRADE Patncia Amster, David Andenoii, Emily Brown, Paul Calandra.

ALTHOUGH to the uninitiate it might seem that the Sophs spend most of their time matching pennies and more or less loafing in the hall, this is not true. The Sophs have, in fact, been very busy in extra-curricular activities around school, such as the teams, the hand, the Crier, and the Girls ' A. A. In addition, they presented a most amus- ing play. Suppressed Desires, which was heartily enjoyed by the whole school. Last 3 ' ear the class, as the fourth Weusnco Club, presented the school with the new flag which we salute each Wednesday morning. It is universally conceded that the Sophs have given a pretty good account of themselves so far. 25 LA CAMP AN ILL A 1934 THE NINTH GRADE Bill Bell, Ethyl Botbyl, Charles Bretland, John Bye, Bill Carpenter, Priscilla Clark.

THE Ninth Grade, on the whole, behaves quite well, and probably ' hasn ' t more than four and a half broken windows and three cracked chairs to its credit this year. It has contributed much to the pleasure and amusement of the school by presenting several plays and assembly programs. The girls of the class form a goodly part of the Glee Club and the Girls ' A. A., while the boys have turned their atten- tion to the band and the Boys ' Cooking Club. But, believing that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, or something to that effect, the Ninth Grade is scheduling a class dance for the latter part of May. The affair, judging from the number of committees getting dope on the price of decorations and the like, is going to be quite elaborate. (We hope the3 ' have fun decorating the gym!!) 29 1934. LA CAMPANILLA THE EIGHTH GRADE Fianlc BaMwin, Gertrude Berger, Betty BlacJc, George Bond, Thorwill Brelimer, Mary Louise Bridges, Bill Capron, Frances Carpenter, Larry Conrad, Lois Dey, Alfred Glenn, Boh Hodges, Dick Horn, Margot Kloss, Barbara Lee, FeUx Jenkins, Jim Kellers, Bradley Kirk, Dick Koester, Bill Lowe, Jean Dale McGiffert, Jane Keade, Doris Beiners, Elizabeth Boelse, Henry Sliapiro, Marilyn Slater, Margaret Spiokers, Dorothy Stiff, Tom Svoick, Glenn Williamson. THE Eighth grade is especially famous for the plavs it has given in assembly. Its production, Vm Terribly Sorry, which marked its stage debut in College High last year Avas received most en- thusiastically by the whole school. This year it presented The JniUaiion, which, though not so amusing a play, was equally well done. The class has the honor of being the_ first Seventh grade to be initiated properly into College High. The initiation was performed by the Eighth grade a vear ago during the Hallowe ' en part} ' with more or less dire results, but the Seventh graders returned good for evil and gave them a party. This year they in turn initiated the Seventh grade and were given a party, and a good time was had bv all. 30 LA CAMPANILLA 1934 THE SEA ENTH GRADE Sichard Allen, Dick Austin, Barbara Boyd, Barbara Bretland, Inez Bull, Marilyn Corn, Helen Butcher, Edward Francisco, Barbara Hall, Wilda Heath, Bart James, Patsy Kirk, Jim Klein, Peggy Johnson, Doris Nealis, Bill Nutt, Boi Painter, Marianne Babeler, Florence Encker, Ben Bunkle, Harry Eingen, Elaine Siebert, Harry Specht, Ed Smith, Ted Swid :, Edwin Walker, Jeanne Wettyen. THE Seventh grade, it is bruited about, is responsible for the epidemic of jumproping Avhich has infected the cntiie school, including a dignified Senior or two and even an occasional facult} ' member, and which has resulted in the almost complete destruc- tion of about thirty-nine j ards of clothesline rope and the front lawn. But the Seventh grade is also responsible for the cheering squad which has turned out for all our home games and set the rest of the school a very good example.

May 11 Tenatly May 29 Butler May 15 Butler June 1 Lodi June 15 Eastern Academy WHILE College High ha.s never, within the memory span of the Oldest Inhabitant, been blessed with teams of championship calibre, we, the men of the Senior Class, can look back upon vic- tories and undefeated seasons in baseball, football, and hockey. As early as the seventh grade, we began to show class, speed, skill, and power. Our football team, composed of such scintillating stars a.s Karl Marquardt, Vic Moser, Sterling Walters, and John Pistor started the season with a smashing 48-0 victory over the tough Bradford outfit. In a return battle, Bradford was again annihilated. After the game, we severed athletic relations with that institution because it used ringers. We followed these games with a flashy 0-0 deadlock with a Mt. Hebron team and a 6-0 thriller over another club from the same school. If memory serves aright, it was Sterling Walters who gathered in a punt, with ten seconds to go, and ran forty yards for the winning- score. With the coming of winter, came also our hockey club which won the only game on its strenuous schedule and was then nominated for oblivion. In the spring, because of the scarcity of oppo nents, we renewed re- lations with Bradford and then walloped them unmercifully 25-5, to begin our baseball campaign. There followed other games, notably a stinging defeat at the hands of Watchung. Lads, will we ever forget the curve that pitcher had. ' ' Upon entering the new building, we organized our first basketball team. The rest is historj ' . Most of our basketball seasons have been poor ones. We ' ve won games, however, and usually managed to make a scrap of the others. We ' ve had a long string of fine players too. There were Chris Heidt, Ed Verdes, the two Bobbes, Dick Colman, Everett Ball, and Charley Stotz. This season, the work of Bill Harrison, Karl Marquardt, and Tex Flowers was outstanding. 35 1934 I.

Most of you are familiar with the fine playing and the spirit of this team. We lost 13-0 to a Montclair High team, but defeated a heavy Bogota outfit 15-0. Phil Clammuro did a first-class job coaching this team and we hope there will be many more, just as good, following it. The baseball season had not begun on April 15th when La Campanula went to press, but the prospects seemed pretty bright. A schedule of at least nine, and probably more, games, including Madison and several other new opponents, faced the squad. The tennis season this year is to feature class and intramural tournaments instead of outside games. The tennis players of each class will compete for the title of Class Champion, and finally the class champions will play to determine the Junior and Senior High champions. Judging from the number of entrants in the tournaments so far, the plan seems to be very popular. 36 LA CAMPANILLA 1 934. r A [ i k c . r • ' « i i I I THE GIRLS ' ATHLETIC CLUB V. Kloss, M.

Heath, B. Hall, H. Dutcher THE girls ' athletic program has gone forward witli leaps and bounds this last year. The Girls ' Athletic Club, under the guid- ance of Miss Dorothy Duke, instructor in physical education, has become one of the most active clubs in the school. With Mary Lee M_vers as president for the first half, and Margaret Lloyd as president for the second half of the year, the girls have shown a steadily growing interest in their club. In order to take care of both the Junior and Senior girls ' interests, the club has met in two groups and on different days. On Mondays the Junior girls devoted much of their time to volleyball and deck tennis. The Senior Athletic Club, however, has divided its attention among a greater number of sports. The major sports with which the club has occupied itself have been hockey, basketball, baseball, archery, and tennis. During the fall the girls spent Thursday afternoons practicing hockey, either with each other or with a college team. They played two outside games : one with 37 198J. LA CAMPAXILLA CakhvL ' ll and one with jMontclair High School. Although thuv lost both by vei ' v close scores, the interest displayed in the games showed that the right spirit was not lacking. When the cold weather finally made it neces- sary to abandon outside sjjorts, the club turned its attention to basket- ball. This time they did not play any outside games, but they did ar- range two teams in the club and played among themselves. (The Orange and Black, as these teams were called, played many a game on Thurs- days.) These games proved that the Black team was too much for the Orange team. But as many good shots were made on both sides it matters little which team won. When spring came they had not only Thursday but also Tuesday afternoons. On Tuesday the club split up so that some might arch and the rest play tennis. This afternoon was not only for those who were experienced at either of these sports but also for those who wished to learn. Because so many members showed an interest in tennis, the club held a tournament. On Thursday, however, the whole club met for baseball practice. Again the club formed teams and the girls matched their skill in batting, pitching, and catching. Since the girls have been giving so much time and energy to their sports, it is only fair that they should be given some kind of reward, and so last year a point system was devised. Under this system many of the girls have received either bars or letters. Girls ' athletics has been one of the fastest developing programs in the whole school. All the girls who have taken any active part in this pro- gram sincerely hope that in years ahead it will continue just as it has started. 38 uy Q ' f m f ' m « s 1934.

THE days before the Crier goes to press are notable around school. A clicking of typewriters, a smell of paste, and reams of crum- pled and cut paper underfoot are the main symptoms, as is also a more or less anxious expression on the visage of each staff member. The staff ' , with Bill Harrison and John Flowers as managing editor and news editor, respectively, and Mr. Phil Collins as faculty adviser, has followed the jjrecedent set it during the last two years and has turned out an interesting, newsy paper each time. Although a smaller appropria- tion this year forced it to decrease the number of issues, still it has done a fine job and each Crier is eagerly devoured even before the ink is dry. 40 LA CAMPAXII.LA 1934 9 9 ex THE STUDENT COUNCIL Fiist term: Dan Jenkins, president; Peggy Au stin, vice-president; Boh Harrison, secretary; Joe Shapiro, Mary Silver, David Anderton, Mary Frances Wil- liamson, Bob Pepper, Dot Basmussen, Glenn Williamson, Margaret Spickers, Bichard Austin, Helen Dntcher. Second term: Adolph Su-ehsdorf, president; Peggy Avstin, secretary-treasurer; John Flowers, Bichard Missbach, Margaret Jane Kerr, Franlc Baldwin, Doris Nealis. THE Student Council, under the leadership of Dan Jenkins for the first term, and Adolph Suehsdorf for the second, has been a quiet, but good influence around school. With the assistance of Miss Shepherd, it has drawn up and installed a new and much more efficient system of accounts, whereb_y the beloved old cigar-box treasury will give way to progress and a single school bank account in charge of the school treasurer. At the end of the first term, the Council decided to save the College High taxpayers ' monej ' by reducing the number of members from thirteen to seven. This has resulted in more efficient and rapid disposal of business. 41 1934 LA ca:mpaxilla LA Cxi.MPAX ILJLxV STAi ' F Jean Glenn, Editor; William T.

THE Yearbook oflfice, when the staff members are not just sitting around eating peanuts and 3 ' elling out the window at their friends, is a scene of humming industry. Proofreaders proofread- ing, typists typing, editors editing, and photography editors endeavor- ing in vain to find more than ten interesting snapshots in a pile of approximately one hundred and twenty-three, all add to the homey atmosphere. (And so do the muffled swearwords of the literary editor whose prophecy has just been censored.) Flippancy aside, however, the Staff is very grateful for the help it has received. It owed an especial debt of thanks to Mr. Harry L. Gage, president of the Graphic Art Society who has very kindly aided the Staff ' in the selection of type. Mr. AVarriner, also, has been invaluable as final proofreader, boss, and general oracle. 42 LA CAMPANILLA 1934. 43 i9;u LA CAMPAXILLA THE ORCHESTRA LA CAMPANILLA 1934 CLUBS AND THINGS JUST try to find a time around College High when three different people are free for a committee meeting. It ' s impossible, almost. Either band or dancing lesson or a play practice or something is always in the way. On Monda ' afternoon, the Opera Study Club meets, with Miss Shepherd as sponsor. A small but interested group, they listen to Victrola recordings of opera and symphonic selections. In October, they went to New York to see Carmen, and had a lovely time listening to the music and eating raspberry candy in the fifth balcony. The dancing lessons, begun this year and taught by several of the College students, were to last only ten weeks, but they have been con- tinued for two more ten week periods in response to the demand. The two groups, intermediate and advanced, meet on Monday and Friday, re- spectively, in the lunch hour. Starting out with foxtrots and waltzes, they have now mastered the tango and the Carioca. The orchestra under Miss Shepherd ' s direction meets for practice every Tuesday ' afternoon. A recent addition of about ten new pieces to its repertoire has been much enjo_yed by the rest of the school. The Band, a new and enthusiastic organization, was started this January with Mr. Johnson as bandmaster. It boasts a membership of thirty students. Every Wednesday the various instrumental groups meet for practice during the day, and at 3 :30 the entire band assembles for an hour of practice. The Band has showed astonishing progress and in- dustry, and is to be commended most highly. The Boys ' Cooking Club, which meets on Thursday, cooks all sorts of more or less indigestible concoctions. It is very popular with the rest of the school which hangs around hopefully outside the home ec. room door waiting for a handout. Craftangle, the art club, meets in the art room on Thursday. Under the guidance and criticism of Mrs. Hurwitz, it goes in for clay modeling, sketching, oil painting and the like, with refreshments (we are assured) only a minor consideration. The Dramatic Club has not been especially active this year. It has, however, given two very entertaining assembl_y programs with the aid of Mrs. Humphrey and Mr. Collins. Numerous other plays have been presented by English classes and homerooms : Suppressed Desires, Winsome Winnie, The Initiation, The First Dress Suit, The Young King, to mention but a few. Nobody could complain about not having anything to do around College High. Mostly it ' s the other way. 45 1934 LA CAINIPAXILLA o THE SOCIAL SEASON UK social events tliis year liave been more numerous than ever before. The school started the ball iollin ) ' with the ainiual Hallowe ' en party on the evening of October twenty-eight. The early part of the evening was devoted to the Junior High School. The seventh grade was initiated with vim and gusto by the eighth, games were played, and to top it all off there was a grand march with prizes for the most unique and prettiest costumes. During the latter part of the evening the Senior High School and its guests enjoyed dancing to the tunes of Jules Brick ' s orchestra. The next social event of note was the faculty tea given in the library by the Seniors in honor of Mr. Morrison ' s return. The first Senior-Alumni Dance was held in Chapin Hall on December twenty-second. The hall was decorated in the Christmas manner, and the music was supplied by Joe Howell and his boys. It is hoped that an afit ' air of this kind will be an annual event. Social events were allowed to slide for a time, while we recuperated from the effects of the holidays and the end of the term. Then, an in- formal dance was held in the gym on February twenty-first, and enjoyed by everj ' one. The Seniors, not to be outdone, came along with their carnival. This is an annual affair and one which is eagerly looked forward to. Two plays, a scene from Little Women, and the Mad Tea Party Irom Alice in Wonderland, were presented by the Senior boys in the assembly. The gym, where flowers, home-made food, and refreshments were sold, was decorated tent fashion with brilliant streamers. In the space roped off for dancing, floor-shows were given at regular intervals. When all was over and the money counted, everyone, though glad the work was finished, agreed that party was a big success. Several class parties have been held either at the homes of various members of the class or at school. In June there will undoubtedly be an all-school picnic on the athletic field with the added attraction of a baseball game between the Seniors and The Rest of the World. Altogether we have had a pretty swell Senior year ! 46 TirE HOWARD- ALLAN ' PRIXTIXG CO. 3 3DDD 0D7flD EE5 Ref LD 3780 .N3 N42 1934 c.2 New Jersey State Teachers College (Montclair). La Ccmponilla l
