We will up- hold the ideals and principles of our school, reaching for these ideals alone, and struggling for them without our fellow members. We will revere and obey the school laws, and will strive increasingly to quicken our sense of civic duty. Thus, in all these ways, we will transmit this school, not only not less, but greater, better, and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.

Aritiiter Throughout the six years of ' arren ' s attendance at College High, he has proven himself tops when it comes to getting A grades on report cards. He is constantly expounding his theories on everything from aeroplane design to how to do the greatest amount of work with the least expenditure of effort. His excellent taste in photo- graphic art has earned him the title of Can- did Camera Man of College High. As feature editor of the Crier, Warren has kept the school in constant laughter with his consistently witty column. Besides using his brilliant mind, Warren ' s feet have proven valuable assets to the Ponv track team.

Not only is she one of the taller girls of the class, but she is one of the smartest, having been a steady member of the honor roll ever since Seventh Grade. Besides being a first class guard on the basketball team, Andy was secretary of Le Cercle Francais. We will always remember her for her parties, where there was always the best food in town and plenty of it. A grand girl with a sense of humor, a pug nose, and always dependable — that ' s Andy. oLci y c anipan ilia . 1940 Page Ten i oiteae y iah School Wane rckUd Having big blue eyes, blonde hair, a vivid personality, and being a smooth dancer, make Archie one of the most popular senior girls with both the girls and boys. Archie ' s in- numerable clothes make her one of the best dressed girls in the class. The possessor of a pretty smile. Arch can be counted on to come up laughing no matter what happens. Marie has been one of the class ' s active mem- bers since she is one of the acey A. A. for- wards, and is a supporter of both the Chorus and the French Club. Altogether Archie is one of the smoothest and most popular girls in the class. WarsUi Eelding Curly blonde hair, a ready smile for all, and an ability to skate and fence are only a few of the characteristics that make Marsh the likeable felJow he is. Living in Great Notch does not hinder his punctuality, and he is never late to his first period class because he uses his bike for transportation. Aside from being an able and conscientious stu- dent, Marshall is also a stalwart tenor in the chorus. His pet hobby, however, is soilless agriculture which he expects to study in the future.

She is one of the few girls who have been in the A.A. since Seventh Grade, and now is one of the team ' s ace forwards. Her activity has not been lim- ited to the A.A., for she has been a member of the Chorus, and has been active in class affairs. She will be long remembered for her notorious chemistry experiments, which of- ten had novel results, and for her side remarks during dull classes. Breck makes a swell sport and grand pal.

Ca Since she entered the ranks of ' 40 last year, Caroline has been amazing the rest of les eleves francais by her unusual insight into why this past participle agrees with that subject. This outstanding ability was brought about by a year ' s stay abroad while she was visiting France, Germany, Switzerland, the Low Countries, the British Isles, and Nor- way. Besides this, Caroline is outstanding on the basketball court. In her second year at College High she earned the starting center post on the Mares. Her vast fund of infor- mation has helped her in many discussions from which she has rarely come off second best. Orchestra ' 38, ' 3 Chorus ' 3 8. ' 39 Girls ' A.A. ' 3 8, Page Twelve Girls ' A.A.

Although the best two-word description of Lorraine is personaHty plus, it is impos- sible to limit her assets to one single accomp- lishment. Her guarding makes her a menace to any forward on the basketball court; her smile and dimples are as famous as the well- known Carson brand of humor; and her abil- ity to liven the dullest of dull events has often been demonstrated. Whether it be dis- tributing posters for dances, washing French Club dishes, supporting the A. A., or accept- ing a dare, Lorraine perpetually says, I ' ll do it. All these things and many more have made the phrase an asset to any class synonomous with her name. ( cirol L ooKt Cookie is, without a doubt, the personifica- tion of friendliness. It is this friendliness that has made her so well liked since she first came to us in the Tenth Grade. Cookie can usually be found doing one of three things: translating German, studying in the library, or looking at Vogue. She is a quiet but loyal supporter of the class, and is always willing to cooperate. Carol was also one of the few Latin students with enough courage to tackle Cicero. She is a supporter of the Girls ' A.A. and the chorus. All in all, Cookie is a good sport and a grand pal.

She can also claim the title of the best sailor since her proficiency at handling boats has won her several cups. Jean has sustained a reputation of staunch class supporter since she entered C.H.S., and she can always be counted upon to help in all class and school activities. She acts quietly, yet thor- oughly, and the success of many things can be traced to Jean ' s management. In spite of all her extra-curricular activities, she has found time to get marks far above the aver- age.

Though his tousled hair sets feminine hearts aflutter, it is in other fields that his conquests are more widely recognized. Captain and high-scorer of the Pony basketeers and center on the unde- feated football team, are two of the ath- letic laurels he has garnered at C.H.S. His personality has often been turned to the class ' s advantage whenever tickets must be sold, or ads solicited. His popularity is school- wide, for he has been twice elected vice- president of the Student Council in his junior year, and twice president in his senior. 1940 Page Fourteen Coileae U4iqlt School A jovial nature, a broad grin, and a thatch of blond hair, combined with a talent for expending his excess energy with occasionally disastrous results to himself, characterize Dave. Beneath his veneer of levity, however, is a talented and versatile mind as evidenced by his consistent honor ratings and his abil- ity to play varied roles in Buskin and Quill productions. A veteran orchestra member, Dave also adds his lusty voice to the tenor section of the chorus. Being first man on the fencing team rounds out the athletic side of Dave ' s activities, and he has been instrumental in keeping the sport alive in the school. rd IJ3. ernalil Will is a quiet, reserved chap, concealing beneath his placid, unruffled countenance a brilliant mind which, more often than not, turns out A papers. Besides being an honor roll student. Will finds time for many extra-curricular activities. He has been in both the chorus and orchestra for three years, and has played leading roles in several Buskin and Quill productions. Will was one of those active in placing fencing in the ranks of varsity sports, and he has devel- oped into a dextrous foilsman. Sailing is his hobby and main interest, and when not sketching clipper ships on old exam papers, he can usually be found in a corner, read- ing about navigation, or studying Greek. ' 3 9 Chorus ' 38.

As for Pete ' s studies, it has been very sel- dom that his name has not appeared on the honor roll. Pete ' s most notable possessions are his extensive vocabulary and a practically illegible scrawl which must have kept pro- fessors awake many a long night. To com- plete a well-rounded career at College High, Pete obtained starting berths on both the football and basketball teams, playing end on the gridiron, and lanky guard for the Pony quintet.

A member of the hardy group of Icicles who daily brave the elements, Don brightens the dreariest days with some of his tall Casanovian tales. He put his brawn to good use on the football, basketball, and track teams, and his knowledge of athletics led to his appointment as sports editor of the Crier. Add to all this a liquid tenor voice, and you have a picture of an all- around good guy. L oCteae y ialt School Page Seventeen French Club ' 3 5, ' 36, ' 37, ' 38, ' 39 Chorus ' 3 9 Girls ' A.A.

Chotte is one of those rare people who have no enemies and many friends. In different classes she has made sev- eral speeches on her trips to Europe. Al- though no longer a German student, Chotte can often be seen helping her friends trans- late. She can be counted upon to support any activity, and her efficiency makes her an asset to the class.

Among the many distinctions he enjoys is that of being the tallest boy in the class, and he uses this height to advantage on the basketball and football teams at C.H.S. as well as on several local baseball clubs. umpanillci . . . 1940 Page Eighteen C oi • J iqlt S cltool C va J uhn Eva came to our class last fall, after hav- ing been in this country for only one year. She immediately made friends with every- body, for her sense of humor is always ready, and if it were not for her accent, one would think she had been with us for years. Her new environment has not in any way harmed her scholastic ability, for in the first semester she established herself among the top members of the class in scholarship, and stayed there. Eva put us all in the shade this year when she won an Honorable Men- tion prize in a national contest for her essay on What Docs American Democracy Mean to Me? iKulh eJUorothti oons Ever since Seventh Grade Ruthie has been unanimously elected to be the chairman of every refreshment committee we have had, and no wonder! If you ' ve ever seen the food that she has made, your mouth would water. And if you looked closely at the clothes she wears, you would notice that they ' re all made by Ruthie, and that is no slam! She is known to swing a pretty mean knitting needle, and her patience in everything is unlimited. Whether it is working at a new suit, or doing the Physics problems, you can be sure that the finished product won ' t have a mistake in it. Dramatic Club ' 3 5, ' 38, ' 39 Girls ' A.A.

When it came time to give the Senior Bridge, we called on Nicki to be chairman, and we all can agree that it ranks among the most successful ever given in College High. Be- sides having a swell sense of humor, Nicki holds her own with the scholars in the class.

El has been one of the most athletic girls in the class since the Seventh Grade. This year El took over cheer-leading, and it was largely through her efforts that we had any cheering at the games at all.

A steady member of the A.A. since Seventh Grade, she can show you a string of stars and stripes on her gym shorts.

As vice- president and president of the Dramatic Club, Bette has staged and directed numerous outstanding productions. Most memorable was the Buskin and Quill presentation of The Other Wise Man, which she helped to adapt for the stage, and which she di- rected and lighted. Bette Ijas been a member of the chorus, and her ability as a pianist is well known to all her friends. A typical outdoor girl, Bette has arranged and organ- ized most of the camping trips the class has taken. Page Twenty- y otleae J iah S chool £LuLlk ' W. Varlch Bettie came into the class in the Tenth Grade, and we often shudder to think what we missed those first years we were without her. That gay smile and the never-ceasing high spirits have kept the class in a good humor when things have looked darkest. She is one of the few people in the class with a really gifted voice, and you can always hear her singing above everyone else on class trips, the only one really in tune and the only one who knows what is being sung. First to get her license and her car, the class has been helped out of many a tight place by her willingness to play the part of chauffeur. ll ' lartjarel Ureelancl If you want the latest joke, or if you ' ve got the joke and want a good listener, go to Peg.

Page Twenty-fiv ■ lianind f- roa roareSd Witli apologies to John Bntiyan Preface: After many hours of diligent labor fumbling with figures compiled for us by Mr. Fulla Falsefax, noted government statistician, we have made the dis- covery that 9,999 per cent of all the class histories printed each June contain fantastic overestimates of the merits and accomplishments of the departing Seniors, so instead of painting ourselves as gods and goddesses, who have swept blithely through High School, we shall, with customary ' 40 modesty, restrain our justifiable pride, and confine this saga of our struggles to a strictly factual basis . . . We got off to an auspicious start back in ' 34 by proving our stamina in surviving a long and strenuous hazing administered not too gently by the late lamented ' 39ers. This nerve-wracking period was climaxed by our appearance at the Hallowe ' en party dressed in baby clothes which erased any semblance of dignity that we had. Our major activity of the year was in the field of dramatics. The Ransom of Red Chief, The Courtship of Miles Standish, and the now-famous The Five Little Fingerkins were our principal contributions. Our ability did not go unrecognized as Mr. Bohn wrapped us up in cheesecloth, and sent us out to face the elements for the Seniors ' production of Midsummer ' s Night Dream. We did not, however, only give the school the dubious benefit of our dramatic efforts, but we endeavored to spread the name of College High by inflicting ourselves on Breyer ' s Ice Cream plant, the Natural History Museum, and Sheffield ' s farms. Our N.B.C. (No Body Cares) club remained a secret to all the school including ourselves for many a riotous meeting. We were in a clubby mood that year, and quickly organ- ized the Vikings of Citizenship which, was responsible for the sturdy maple which has flourished despite the football and baseball games waged around and over it. Inspired by the mighty Viking Ship that served as an emblem, we also showed our civic pride by spending an afternoon weeding the then overgrown pasture which served as a campus. Our interest in community betterment led us to take several field trips to New York and Paterson to observe working and living conditions. Aside from these diver- sions. Eighth Grade was one long frolic. Ever eager to reap practical benefits from our instruction, we planted what we optimistically termed vegetable gardens in front of the school. Tliough our crop consisted mainly of a handful of radishes and several carrots, it fattened the neigh- borhood rabbits for several months. A minor obstacle in the form of our introduction to French and the restrictions imposed on initiations served to slow us down to a gallop by the end of the year, but we swept undaunted into our Freshman semesters. This year ' s high spot was a trip to the nation ' s capital. Though the excursionists were properly impressed by tours through the Mint, White House, and Mt. Vernon, the memory of the cracker crumbs and onions will remain long after the view from atop the Washington Monument has been forgotten. As Freshmen, we also discovered Playwright John Wehncke, who demanded that, for a change, we present an original play. The Page Twenty-six class was willing, and generously gave John the job of rewriting an O. Henry storv in play form. Again we came through with the comedy hit of the year. When our home room periods turned into complete bedlam, it became evident that some solution must be found. After hours of wrangling, a constitution was finally drawn up by Dick Swift and his law-makers, and it was approved. Though not ultra- efficient in its operation, it has served satisfactorily, and has been used as the basis for nearly all the other classes ' constitutions since written. As Sophomores, we showed first evidences of our social tendencies by putting on a socially successful dance in the fall, which featured weird lighting effects. Extend- ing our desire for originality into other fields, we adopted a new and radical crest for the class rings, which shocked the upperclassmen, who immediately condemned the younger generation. The dramatic effort for the year was L ' homme Qui Epousa une Femme Muette, which was directed by Mrs. Cressey. Lawyer Dick Swift threw his law books at femme Charlotte Hilgert while Doctor John Wehncke sputtered lengthy and unintelligible medical phrases. Souvenir was another contribution to the school ' s cultural develop- ment. This was a book of original short stories and poems written in Mr. Conrad ' s English class. The final event of the year was the Commencement Dance, which we sponsored for the Seniors, and was (hold your breath) a financial as well as a social success. Athletics again claimed much of our time, and Monte DuVal upheld class honor by garnering a varsity letter in basketball. In other sports, we were equally active, though not so successful. Returning to College High as full-fledged Juniors, we started things off with a bang. Our first destination was Barnegat Bay where we took a deep sea fishing trip. The catch was decidedly on the meagre side, consisting of a basketful of crabs and one (1) eight-inch fish, species unknown. Dr. Partridge ' s movies of this voyage were included in the class ' s epic production More Fun! which has panicked audiences from Hoboken to Hohokus, thus effectively blighting any cinematic aspirations on the part of the fair sex. This thrilling one-reeler in technicolor also contains shots of the numerous canoe trips we took on the Passaic and the hike on the Appalachian Trail (featuring DuVal pursued by eleven girls). Mixing our fun with a little work, we put on a sport dance, distinguished prin- cipally by the substitution of bleachers for the usual folding chairs. Will we ever forget whipping them around in the W.P.A. truck next morning with Hawes at the wheel.- Our roving spirits could not be suppressed for long, however, and we were soon off on another ramble, this time to Stokes State Forest, where we spent a slightly terrific week-end. This was the final trip under the auspices of the Integration course, and though we were blessed with continual rain, it served as a fitting climax to the most enjoyable course of our career. Publication of the Crier was added to the growing list of responsibilities we Page Twenty-seven assumed that year, and the excellence of our work under Dick Swift is reflected in the first class rating awarded us by the C.S.P.A. for our issues. The Crier also received the first class award for typography. Dramatics continued to occupy much of our interest and there was a notable pre- dominance of Juniors in the Buskin and Quill production of Where the Cross was Made. In a lighter mood, we enacted a Spanish bull fight for the annual Language Festival, in which Ferdinand the Bull cavorted much to the delight of several Junior senoritas. To top off the year, we sped our elders on their merry way by throwing a mam- moth combination picnic, clambake, and basket luncheon at Jones Beach. Though this affair seriously depleted our treasury, the unforgettable thrill of clamping your molars on a sand-strewn sandwich, while slowly simmering in the sun, made the expense a worthwhile investment. Tramping up the hill last fall, we found a new and startling transformation of the campus had brought a network of shaded walks and roads where we could pass our study hours meandering aimlessly about, reminiscing about early days at C.H.S. Though occupying the throne of overlord was a little strange at first, we soon fell into the swing of things, and donned our laurel wreaths with laudable ease. Another trip to Stokes State Forest was made, this time with a larger crowd attracted by the wild tales which followed our initial trip. Despite the temperature hovering ar zero, we worked up a sufficient sweat trying vainly to light stoves and lamps to keep us supple enough to enjoy the ice skating, etc. When we had thawed out a little, we took up the discussion of yearbooks, and with customary procrastination, delayed our decision. Then a sudden outburst of energy resulted in the appointment of the staif pictured herein, which has labored long and hard to produce what we hopefully call a creditable annual. The Christmas Pageant ' s cast was replete with members of our class, and another all-Senior Dramatic Club cast produced X Equals Zero in April, the first play of its kind to be given in College High. As our class offering to the drama, we presented The Wedding, directed by Mr. Bohn. We ' ll not easily forget the St. Valentine ' s Day Senior Bridge, managed by Carol Nickerson. It seems as though we were pursued by a weather jinx this year because the evening of the affair, we had the biggest blizzard of the year, and so we postponed the party two weeks. When it was finally held, however, it was a social and financial success. Our weather jinx followed us into April when we were taking yearbook pic- tures, and forced us to postpone the taking several days too. The annual Carnival was the biggest affair we gave this year. With brown and yellow decorations, and bigger and better amusements than ever, you can easily see why the Carnival, which we called Leap Year Gambol, was proclaimed a great success. And now we have come to the end of the run. It ' s all over now but the shout- ing, and so to all those who stay behind, we leave College High a better and wiser school. Page Twenty-eight a (campanula 1940 OPPOSED by members of the faculty and administration, supporters of Ln Cam- [tanilla 1 940 fought a figurative battle to insure the publication of the annual this year. Chief among the advocates of the book were those students who were chosen to edit it after they had proved the value of the project. This year La Ciiiupaiiilla has been expanded to insure its being representative of the entire school, so that every activity in the school has its place herein. Supple- menting each other, word and picture both play important parts in the publication, the former presenting the summaries, accomplishments, hopes, and disappointments of the groups shown in the latter. So far as the writing is concerned, it was done, not by a few, but by as many students as could be involved in the process, and the book was made a school-wide project by this policy. Special thanks are due to the teachers who permitted us to interrupt their classes to take the group pictures for the yearbook, to those who inconvenienced themselves to come to be photographed, and to Harold C. Bohn, assistant professor of English, who as Class Adviser, gave the staff his invaluable assistance in the preparation of the copy. To the advertisers, who contributed funds to La CamlJaitilla; to the almost entire student body, which expressed its interest by subscribing to the book; and to the school for its additional financial assistance, the editors give their grateful thanks. With the hope that ours is a permanent contribution to you, we are THE EDITORS OF LA CAMPANILLA Editor-in-Chief Richard N. Swift Advertising Manager Merlin DuVal Assistants to the Editor Literary Editor Nancy Stevenson Graham Harrison, Donald Hawes Photography Editor Warren Amster Business Manager John Wehncke Make-up Editor Margaret Vreeland Page Twenty-nine _y Ljtance at the ( rudtat NEARLY twenty years have passed since College High presented the class of 1940 to an unsuspecting world. It took all of two years for them successfully to manage their world revolution. By 1942, however, the Class of ' 40 had dominated the world in all phases of endeavor. Now in 1960 we walk into a barber shop, and pick up a current copv of that popular magazine Workers ' Saturday Evening. On the cover we find a picture of the Glamour Girl of 1960. By singing in a night club, Nancy Hartshorne has earned for herself this unwonted title. The inside of the front cover shows a picture of that currently favorite ballet dancer, Don Hawes. In the picture is a brilliantly colored yellow car, and standing beside it is Don dressed in purple tights. Don says, I like the graceful flowing lines of the 1960 Oldsmobile. Upon turning the page, we cannot smother a whistle, for there is a cartoon by that sensational artist, Dave Fernald, who succeeded George Petty in mastery of the brush. And to think that Dave used to draw boats! The opposite page spots a candid shot of Richard N. Swift (note the N ) talking into three telephones at once. Dick N. is shown with a deadline two minutes off. As editor of the Daily Loafer, he recommends a brand of printers ' ink. Turning a page, we see that the renowned Neuro-gastrovascular-hypo-condrioliogist, Dr. H. Lorraine Carson, P.D.Q., recommends Swello for what ails you. Next we come to the first article in the magazine. We read how Pete Harrison led the class in the revolution of 1942, and then took his accustomed place as Com- munist Dictator of the World. His first appointment was Marshal Belding as Secre- tary of Agriculture. Marsh is planning to use the Atlantic Ocean for his experiments in soilless farming. He is going to call this work the Federal Ocean Occupation, or FOO to you. Kapie Gray was promptly made Secretary of the Treasury. She is the first such officer to collect all the taxes personally. She learned this at C.H.S. Turning a page, we find an article bv Jean Breakenridge, Ph.D., Professor of the Romance Languages at Barnard. Jean tells how to get a man, preferably a Harvard man; and she knows how! Just showing that you never can tell where a Dodger fan will turn up, the next item is by Giulio Pontecorvo, who is bat-boy for the Brooklyn Baseball Club. His article is entitled Why the Dodgers Will Win the World Series This Year. Giulio has been trying to explain this every year since we can remember. Page Thirty Then there is a poem c.illed The Wreck of the Hackensack, written by Jean Dunn, who is captain of the Weehawken Ferry. Jean gave up sailing a few years ago, but the call of the sea was too strong, and so she is again with a deck under her feet. Jean is also the author of that epic poem, Mutiny on the Hudson. In the news section we find the announcement of awards for distinguished work in science. Warren Amster received this year ' s No Bull Prize for his simple, efficient, safe, and cheap substitute for water. Warren claims that it was simple. He did it with X, Y, and Z, with five settings on his now famous slide rule. Bettie Varick ' s contribution to humanity, however, is more practical. She has found a way to smash atoms with a Plymouth. It is all done in second gear with the brake on. But Charlotte Hilgert ' s citation as a second Marie Curie is the crowning honor of ail. Several noted chemists have declared Hilgert ' s work has advanced Chemistry a century. This may have been making up for the damage she did to it in High School. We notice the by-line By Elinore Rasmussen over the column My Daze! El tells us of the trouble she had with a most beautiful cop on Pennsylvania Avenue. She won the argument. The next two pages feature a review of the new movie Think Fast, Dr. Killumoff. The young struggling doctor is portrayed by that handsome idol of millions of ailing females, Monte DuVal. We knew that Monte was doing to be a doctor, but we never thought that he would come to this. The picture is noted for its original lighting effects, and no wonder when we see that the producer is Bette Taylor. The magazine claims that over a million flashlight bulbs were used to obtain the effect. Well, anyway, at least two members of the class of ' 40 have gone to Hollywood. Upon coming to the book review section, we see that a new book by that famous Cape Cod lighthouse keeper, Willard Fernald, is announced. After twenty years of keeping a lighthouse. Will has written a book called Live Alone and Light It. Among other new books is Eva Kahn ' s revision of Grimm ' s Fairy Tales. It appears that all of the villains in Eva ' s revision are teachers — which isn ' t far wrong. In the music department we come across a discussion of a recent concert in Carnegie Hall by Toscahooie, the famous flute virtuoso. We see the maestro is really Caroline Cameron, who used to blow on the plumbing at C.H.S. Caroline says that she likes the Philadelphia Philharmonic better than the College High band, but that ' s a matter of opinion. The radio review tells of that sensational comedian of the air, Happy Eddie Howe. Critics agree that Happy is the funniest thing since those women ' s hats in Page Tliirty-one 1940. Eddie uses a peculiar brand of straight-faced humor. His catch Une is, Confi- dentially, I ' m a riot. On the next page is an advertisement with a picture of the only survivor of that thrilling expedition into darkest Africa. Nancy Stevenson of Stanley and Stevenson. She tells us, I burned up two cases of Kamels to make smoke signals so Stanley could find me. I owe my life to Kamel Cigarettes. Stevie is thinking of becoming a lady lion tamer. We wish her luck. Turning a page we see that Peggy Vreeland has written an article on how she organized a nationwide chain of orphan asylums. Peg is hailed as the first orphan asylum manager to emploj ' big business methods. The government is investigating her svstem to see if she is violating the Auntj -trust laws. We also notice a discussion of the policies of Marie Archbold ' s Make-Ever ' -Year- a-Leap-Year Societ) The membership in the society is already in the millions, and it is increasing rapidly. Arch claims that the society will revolutionize the business of being an old maid. Next we see a picture of a layer cake and its recipe. The cake was invented and made by Ruth Koons, who is president of the Ladies ' Afternoon Social and Homemaking Club of Western Oscaloosa. Ruthie is the current leader of the Let Them Eat Cake campaign of the O-So-Peachy Cake Co. On the next page, under a large sign saying He drives 200,000 miles a year, we see a picture of John Wehncke. It seems that Johnny had to give up his station wagon for a bus in 1942. Since then, he has acquired a fleet of 173 large buses to take people any place, anv time. Johnny ' s recommendation for gasoline really means something. On the inside back cover we find an advertisement for Auntie Anderton ' s Dough- nuts. Who would ever have thought that Carol Anderton would be a Doughnut Baroness? Many who live in inland states claim that they can hear the sound of the surf constantly. What they really hear, of course, is the sound of the people dunking Auntie Anderton Doughnuts. Carol was the first to employ the famous non-skid tread on her product. The back cover shows Carol Xickerson standing by her custom-built twenty-four c) ' linder, two-hundred twenty-five-inch wheel base Packard. Nicki says, I can get a better pick-up with a Packard than with any other car. The government has had to build special roads for Nicki to safeguard the other drivers. At this point it was our turn at the barber chair. The real surprise came when we saw that Carol Cooke was the barber. Cookie won the All-American Award in the scissors and razor events in the Olympics of 1945. Thus we see that the Class of ' 40 has made invaluable contributions to civilization. Page Thirty-two l l ili lA e C uer oraet. f T IFE at College High has not been all drudgery, and to prove it we have ■ - ' collected a variety of items which have made for lighter moments in classes. Some of these are in the nature of confessions; others are calculated to produce much embarrassment; but they all will tell an inside story. We will never forget the time: Director Seybold told us that his track work had enabled him to live through most of his life. Mr. Bohn came into the class the first day of school, looked down his nose at the list of our names, and calmly murmured, Hm. All the trash in the high school. Or when he started renaming the Class of ' 40 ' s Carols and Jeans with such names as: Letitia, Wilhelmina, Clytemnestra, Antigore, and Lavinia. Bette Varick was asked how many fingers Warren was holding up on one of his hands, and she answered, Nine. Dick Swift spent months writing all over the world to find out how many cows there were in London in the seventeenth century. Mrs. Cressey, to show the class how a certain part of a play should be given, stood on the desk in her room, and threw papers and books on the floor to comply with the script, and in walked President Sprague. Dr. Davis renamed Bette Taylor and Bettie Varick: Bettes Numbers 1 and 2. Dr. Partridge brought his son, Clark, on the Stokes State trip, and Clark built a fire in the middle of the cabin. Or ask Doc to teach you the Paw-Paw Patch song. Miss Escoriaza confessed to having tied the braided hair of fellow students to the seats in a Spanish convent. Jean Breakenridge made her now famous experiment, wherein she put a match to a Hydrogen generator. Mrs. Humphrey told us to improve our speech with How now, brown cow? Mrs. Winchester said on seeing a torn cracker box: That must have been where I hit that boy. Dr. Wittmer told his never-ending stories of his relatives. The girls locked themselves out of their cabin at Stokes State, and Carol Nickerson had to be boosted in the window to open the door. Page Thirty-three Charles Keller ' s chauffeur nearly drowned himself at a class picnic. Dr. Snyder and Mr. Conrad each told us about putting packages down on the sidewalks of New York to collect a crowd around them, and then picking them up and walking away. Mr. Rellahan confessed to having been picked up by the police as a suspicious character. Dave coined the word tremense. We made a plaster cast for John in Chemistry, so now he has a death mask. Caroline Cameron started Dr. Wittmer ' s tracing the lineage of the House of Hapsburg, and we learned about all those Charleses and Ferdinands. And speaking of Ferdinand, Pete Harrison exercised his Spanish vocabulary in a rehearsal of the bull fight for the language festival. Or when he opened his lunch at school, and found that he had taken the wrong bag, and was then faced with the prospect of eating a pound of string beans. Or when the class tried to impeach him, but couldn ' t find the constitution, and so it couldn ' t be done. Or when he sang cowboy songs to the class as a penalty for not doing his homework. Mrs. Cressey finally was robbed of her favorite story, her need for a car, when Mr. Cressey bought a new one. We had an N.B.C. club, and used passwords for our homeroom meetings. Nancy Stevenson read a line from Shakespeare, What are these faces . . . ? as: What are these? Faces? Don Hawes came to school in such a rush that he still had his pajamas underneath his clothes. We had the fuss over the brown and yellow decorations for the Gambol. Dr. Hildebrandt confessed to having just so much patience, and when that is gone, I have no more. Mr. Clifford habitually missed his mark with the chalk he was always throwing at us. The Latin Class rose en masse to crush Keller who had reminded Miss Littlefield that the da} ' on which a test was scheduled was a holiday. Don Hawes threw a javelin through the windows of the girls ' locker room, and it stuck half-w ay through the glass. Dr. Glenn threw us out of class, one by one, because we were eating the fruits we were supposed to be dissecting for educational purposes. Peggy Vreeland asked Mr. Hatch where he got his stories. Monte DuVal told his joke called The End of April about the dog named April, who was kicked by a cow, and the next day was the first of September. Don Hawes kept a couple of dead frogs in his Biology locker until an investigation of the smell was ordered. And speaking of smells, how about those skunks which habitually perfume College High? Mr. Bohn denied he spoke with an accent.

Its managerial skill, demonstrated from 1938-1939, soared to even greater heights this year when the students made successes of two of the finest dances ever held within the walls of C.H.S. Also, when the keys of the Crier office were handed to them in February, they trembled not at the stiff assignment before them, but took over its publication under Editor-in-Chief Tom Bell, and did so well they amazed even them- selves. Furthermore, each one of them is now the proud possessor of a book which he wrote himself aided by Mr. Pettegrove. These books were displayed in the library for two weeks. They gave an assembly program too, one completely original. In fact, it was so original that even they didn ' t know what it was until they gave it. They found out then how well they could ad-lib. Their deep-sea fishing excursion, taken in connection with the Integration class, proved their worth as seamen, and their surprise picnic for the Seniors topped off the year for both classes. Page Thirty-eight he Sophomore a add ABANDONING the learned atmosphere of College High during the past school ) ' ear almost whenever a mild clear day was available, the Sophomores journeyed around the northern part of the state roller-skating, ice-skating, canoeing, and taking over- night trips to High Point State Park. When not off on one of its jaunts, the class settled down. After adopting a con- stitution, and forming a Latin Club, the students presented a very successful dance Winter Carnival, gave a play Sightseeing DeLuxe, and published a book Sopho- Moods, which contains poems and short stories they wrote themselves. They also gave demonstration classes in French, Latin, and Geometry before conven- tions of teachers of those subjects, who came from nearby schools. Of students engaged in school activities, the class can boast nine reporters on the Crier staff, ten members in the Dramatic Club, two musicians in the orchestra, seven singers in the Chorus, twenty-three members of the Latin Club, seven in the Girls ' A. A., and eleven in the French Club. Altogether, the Sophomores have done their best, in their fourth year at C.H.S., to uphold the school code by making the school better and more honored than they found it.

These radio programs were presented before the assembly on May 21. The boys of the class organized a basketball team to compete with Montclair Acad- emy and Fiillside Junior Fiigh School. Their season was an exciting one, with a total of two wins and two losses. With the first harbingers of spring, these same athletes began their rigorous training in anticipation of the coming baseball season. They played against the Eighth Grade in an inter-class league, and came out on top in the contest. The entire class attended Life With Father and enjoyed it immensely. Another trip was made by some of the students in the Social Studies class, who heard a lecture on South America given by Burton Holmes. This was especially interesting in the light of their work with Dr. Snyder concerning the countries south of the United States. In the fall and spring, the class hiked along the Appalachian Trail, and during the winter had a wonderful time skating and skiing in Verona Park.

J he C lahth ( rude WITH a crash and a bang, the Eighth Grade entered C.H.S. for the second time this year. The first thing the class did was to take a long look at the Seventh Grade and begin hostilities, which were officially ended by the Hallowe ' en Initia- tion Party. This party they held for the newcomers in the gym October 27. In the middle of November the class made a trip to the American Book Company with Mr. Hamilton. The traditional creche was made in the French room by members of the class, and it was completed in time for the Christmas party the students held for themselves. As p.irt of their English work, they established a library, composed of the students ' books, and supplemented by purchases from the Junior Literary Guild. These latter books will be given to the High School library. The class showed such enthusiasm in the ticket-selling contest for the Leap Year Gambol that the Seniors invited its members to the party given for the Seventh Grade winners. Mrs. Winchester has taken the boys of the class to the Circus at Madison Square Garden, and the girls to High Point for an overnight stay. All these experiences have made this year a very pleasant one for the Eighth Grade.

Jhe euentn L rade THE Seventh Grade that so timidly entered the halls of College High last fall is by now an integral part of its existence. The Eighth Graders and those members of the faculty whom the class has already met have helped the group to become better accustomed to its new life. This year the class ' s main activity has been puppet-making. Dr. Partridge helped the students very much in this work by taking a group to New York City each week. There they learned how to make some part of a puppet, and returned to teach what they had learned to the rest of the class. On May 14 the school saw the products of this work in assembly, and was pleasantly surprised. Directed by Mr. Nickerson, the class gave a choral reading assembly too, and the school agrees that it was one of the most outstanding presentations of the year. Mrs. Winchester has taken many groups to New York to the Museums of Natural History, the City of New York, and Art. At the Museum of Modern Art a group saw the Italian Masterpieces, and then went to the movies. The Seventh Grade ' s only hope is that its next five years at College High will be as happy and successful as this one has been. Page Forty-two OfftL l .coJ AtUMUum!

The Council is a democratic form of stu- dent government in which each class is adequately represented by an elected class member. By this means, the viewpoints of the student body on any topic whatsoever can be readily presented and dealt with. This year the Council has guided the school through several forms of activity, playing an important part in all social events and acting as general supervisor of school activities. It sup- ported the Red Cross Drive and other charitable functions. One of the most important responsi- bilities of the council is that of regulating the assembly programs. This consists of assigning dates to the various classes, and keeping the assemblies from conflicting with the home room activities. It is the opinion of the entire school that the Council has handled this phase of its work most admirably, when one remembers the numerous fine assemblies that have been presented this year. The meetings, held every two weeks, are pre- sided over by a president, who is a member of the Senior class. He is assisted by a vice-president and a secretary, both from any of the upper classes. All of the meetings are guided by Director Sey- bold. This year the officers elected in September were as follows: Monte DuVal, president; Tom Bell, vice-president; and Peggy Vreeland, secretary. At the mid-season the presidential and secretarial reins remained in the same hands, the vice-presidency being taken over by Donald Hawes. All of the officers are elected by a poll in which the entire student body votes. Page Forty-four AourncLilstn oDeluxel TK a ' OST firmly entrenched of all College High extra-curricular activities is the school news- paper, the College High Crier. This year, end- ing its ninth year of publication, the paper, edited until February by Richard Swift and his staff of Senior editors and reporters from the whole school, set a new high mark for succeeding staffs by securing its rating as a First Class paper in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association competition, with 45 points above the highest previous score. After February the staff changed, and Tom Bell and a staff of Junior editors took the helm, and so far have shown every sign that they are out to beat the Class of 1940 in perfecting the Crier. The Crier is also the most independent of all the activities in the school. Subsidized by the institution, the paper does not even have a regular faculty adviser, the entire management and all decisions being left to the student editors, who use their own discretion in all matters. There is no class in Journalism in College High, and all instruction to reporters in news-writing comes from the editors themselves. Future editors are trained by present editors, and the paper is a class-to-class hand-me-down from year to year, editors from the Juniors replacing those from the Seniors in February. Reporters are chosen from all the classes. The most stable and valuable of activities in the school and the least supervised of all such work, the Crier has proved its worth many times over as a stimulus for improving the school by the students. It affords an outlet for Journalism and creative writing, and to its past, present, and future staffs, the students ' hats are doffed. Page Forty-five C mbriionic Jm J eADianS 6p TjUSKlN and Quill ' s first production of the year was the Christmas pageant, presented in the High School gymnasium to the students and their parents. This drama was the most tremen- dous presentation that had been attempted by the drama group. The script, prepared by Bette Taylor and Richard Swift, was an adaptation of Henry Van Dyke ' s The Story of the Other Wise Man. An elected committee took charge of assigning the parts which totaled over fifty in number. Mem- bers from all classes took part in the production, and both the Chorus and the Orchestra co-operated with the club in the presentation. Various com- mittees were assigned to the scenery, costumes, and lights. The pageant replaced the December Par- ent-Teachers Association meeting. After Christmas a committee was formed to select a number of plays to be offered to the club as possibilities for the next production. After much deliberation, the club decided to present X Equals Zero: A Night of the Trojan War, a one- act play by John Drinkwater. This script called for an unusually small, all-male cast. The time and place that set the stage for the drama offered interesting opportunity for colorful interpretation. Bette Taylor was president of the club during the entire year. Mrs. Winchester directed both of the club ' s productions, and Mr. Hamilton con- sented to be the Narrator in the Christmas pageant. r-. - f ( r 1 r f m- in Page Forty-six y ollecie J lah onadt ' f 9 ' 9 ' lerd WITH a past record of major achievements in the field of music, both as conductor and performer, Anthony Guerrera came to College High this year to direct the Chorus. Well qualified by virtue of his previous work, Mr. Guerrera received the full co-operation of the student body, and a record group of about fifty choristers turned out for the first meeting. The work for the year began by having tests made of the voices of all members of the Chorus, and the sections for voice harmony were established. The first program in which the Chorus took part was the Christmas Pageant. Working with the Orchestra and the Dramatic Club, the Chorus helped in this presentation, given for members ot the Parent-Teachers ' Association. This pageant surpassed any given heretofore in College High, and the part played in it by the Chorus was by no manner of means a small one. Special rehearsals for the group were called in addition to the regular Wednesday afternoon meeting. Most of the Chorus ' work was in A Cappella singing this year, as has been customary in the past seasons. The Chorus spent the latter part of the year on the pieces to be sung at the Baccalaureate Service and Commencement. Although there had been some thought of presenting a program of music during the early spring, it was decided that, instead of giving both a Spring Concert and a program for gradua- tion, it would be better to spend the time on the Commencement music, and do a more finished job than otherwise would be possible. Next year the Chorus will suffer a severe loss, as nearly all the members of the graduating class are members. Page Forty-seven ne yrcltestru ' I IHE Orchestra, directed by Anthony Gucrrera, has been enlarged and made better this year more than ever before in the school ' s history. Dur- ing the opening weeks of school, an inventory of College High ' s present and potential musical abil- ity was taken. Those who could play and who desired the experience of orchestra work, were enrolled in its ranks. Those who could not play, but who were desirous of learning, arranged to take lessons. Thus a potential supply has assured a great deal of material ' s being available in the future, and it has been tapped already, for sev- eral new instruments have been added to the Orchestra in the past few months as a result of this training. With many musically inclined Sev- enth Graders enrolled, the continued success of this musical organization is assured. The Orchestra spent its first few months of rehearsal becoming acquainted with pieces for the annual Christmas pageant. It has continued its improvement since then, and, in accordance with College High tradition, prepared a program for graduation exercises. Since the Orchestra affords the only instru- mental outlet for C.H.S. students, its constant expansion is anticipated. It was suggested during this year that a Band might be organized to sup- plement the Orchestra, and it had been hoped to have one in rehearsal by Christmas, but the small number of students made this impossible. An outlet was made, however, for those students who wanted Band experience by allowing them to play with the College Band. Page Forty-eight cJLe L ercie J ' t rctncuLd THE French Club started oft at full speed this year. The attendance at the first meeting totaled fifty-eight members, the largest attendance on record for the Club. Because of this, the or- ganization was divided into junior and senior groups, the junior club securing its membership from the Eighth and Ninth grades; the senior, for the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Grades. Part of the success of the Club must be attributed to Nancy Stevenson ' s able management as chairman of the refreshment committee. She never failed to bring varied and tempting dainties to the Tuesday afternoon meetings. The chief accomplishment of the Club was the purchase of a large and expensive short-wave radio. The set is to be used by the foreign language students of the High School and the College. Sev- eral times, in addition to the planned program, the Club listened to broadcasts direct from France. The credit for the origin of the idea of the radio ' s purchase should be given to Mrs. Cressey, friend, and faculty adviser of the Club, for without her assistance the school would not be enjoying the set now. Le Cercle Francais also gave help to the sol- diers abroad by instigating a drive among its members for old books, magazines, and games. Not only did the Club see two travelogues about France at one of its meetings, take a trip to New York for lun cheon at Le Champlain and to see the movie Entente Cordiale, and hold its annual French dinner, but it also brought into the year ' s schedule a real French jam session, an afternoon of Bingo, and an outdoor picnic that proved to be a huge success which brought the Club ' s year to a close. .- P;lS ! Forty-nine Ite J CLppu f c Wf .omand A FTER a lapse of three years, a Latin Club was recreated this year for the benefit of College High students. Bill DuVal, to whom the credit for the idea belongs, took his suggestion to Miss Lottie Rucki, instructor in Latin, who gave her consent, and promised her co-operation in organizing the club. The first meeting was held very shortly after the club had passed through this initial stage, and the club name Romani Laeti, or Happy Romans, was chosen. Officers of the new organization were chosen and they were: Randall Baer, president; William Salmond, secretary; Harold Sheldon, treasurer; and Bill DuVal, publicity manager. Also appointed was the program committee, whose members were: Sue Horn, Janet Crum, Mary Shepard, and David Hollenbeck. To keep the Romans from starv- ing, a refreshment committee was chosen, and the members of that group were: Janet Hance, Richard Lang, Stirling Kerr, Renee Titus, and Lois Jackson. During its first year of renaissance, the Club met every other Monday, and the dues were set at ten cents per meeting. Its members gained access to the bi-weekly meetings only by password, which was changed each week. Only Sophomores made up the list of members this year, but with the passage of time, it is hoped that students of Latin in all classes will join its activities. The Club attempted to serve in the same capa- city for the Latin language that the French Club does for French, and games, stories, songs, and in- structive and entertaining projects were all used in carrying out the ambitious program.

(ls asneteers DESPITE a wealth of potentially good mate- rial, the season was indeed a dismal one. This hackneyed phrase, which might be applied to nearly any sport at College High, is especially apt in connection with the hoop squad ' s futile flinging. Under the expert tutelage of Chuck Savelli, who guided the undefeated football team, the prospects for the year were bright with four lettermen returning to form a veteran nucleus for the quintet. The starting team averaged over six feet in height, and this advantage plus a new offensive style gave promise of high-scoring action, but the hoped-for sprees never materialized. Fail- ure to employ the planned plays after the first few minutes, despite their consistent success, and a fatal tendency to crack during the second half led the Ponies to finish with only four victories as against eight defeats. On the credit side of the ledger the team garnered two unimpressive triumphs from Bux- ton ' s hapless hoopsters, eked out a one-point mar- gin over Montclair Academy, netted ten foul goals to nip Eastern Academy, 20-18, for their sole laud- able victory, and gained the dubious honor of being the first Varsity team to lose to the Alumni. Monte DuVal contributed nearly one-third of the team ' s 274 markers, tossing in 91 points. Don Hawes took second honors with 5 8, followed by Pete Harrison, Ed Howe, and Red MacDaniel in that order. From the spectator ' s viewpoint the season was equally disappointing, though not entirely devoid of thrills. The wins over Eastern Academy and Montclair Academy in overtime, and the heart- breaking loss of the season ' s finale to St. Joseph ' s provided the only strenuous vocal exercise for the Pony rooters in a season marked by slow, low- scoring encounters. Page Fifty-two ke ( . Ar. . _y i muzond THE Girls ' Athletic Association, one of the oldest clubs in the school, having been estab- lished in the year College High came into existence, launched a new and successful year in the early fall. Officers were elected early in the season, and Nancy Hartshorne was chosen president; Jean Breakenridge, vice-president; and Sue Horn, sec- retary-treasurer. Hockey was started immediately with a large group, and Nancy Stevenson was chosen chairman for her second consecutive year. Three games were scheduled with Kimberley, Glen Ridge, and Caldwell. (The Kimberley game was played while the girls dodged the snowflakes.) The first week in December ushered in the Basketball season with practices being held until Christmas. Jean Breakenridge was elected chair- man of that sport, and scheduled four games: one with tile Alumnae, one with Glen Ridge, and two with Kimberley. The Alumnae was really a sen- sational game with Jean Dunn holding Bobbie Hall, last year ' s ace, to only two baskets. The forwards this year were Sue Horn, Jean Breaken- ridge, Bette Taylor, and Nancy Hartshorne, while Jean Dunn, Caro! Nickerson, Carol Anderton, and Nancy Stevenson were guards. Opinions were divided as to what the spring sport should have been, so the group divided, one group playing volleyball; one, badminton; and one, bowling. Because there were three different sports in progress, the usual policy of choosing a chairman for each sport was not followed. The last meeting of the year was a festive occa - slon. Awards were given out, and there were refreshments for all. With Orchids to Miss Sher- win for her able coaching In each sport, 1940 will be remembered as a red-letter )ear in the lilstor of the A. A. olts and r v Icishc ripHIS IS the first year that fencing has been a major sport in College High, and although many in the school engaged in fencing for a short time, this year ' s team consisted of only six mem- bers: four Seniors and two Juniors. Unfortunately, even under Steve Sabo ' s excellent coaching, Dave Fernald ' s captaincy, and John Wehncke ' s manag- ing, the team did not establish a noteworthy rec- ord. Lack of sufficient practice was chiefly to blame for the defeats. The team was subject to a number of conflicts in the scheduling and completion of its matches, typical of which were the failure of one opposing team to show up on the scheduled date, and the arrival of the home team at an adversary ' s mat to find it already occupied by a third team. Even though this year ' s bouts have not provided an outstanding list of achievements, the team feels that it has contributed something to College High by establishing a new major sport, which the foils- men hope will be carried on in true C.H.S. fashion. Fencing has become a popular sport in many high schools today, and this year ' s foil group is proud to have brought the sport to College High if it has brought nothing else with it, because the fencers know what a good sport it is and the enjoy- ment future C.H.S. teams will derive from its pursuit. With four varsity men leaving this year, only two will be left to carry on, and the present out- look, according to Dave, is not very promising. The only salvation for this sport in College High seems to lie in the building of a team from a group of younger students who would be ready to take to the inter-scholastic mat in a few years. Pa e Fifty-fo K rldlfon ivlen t ■ IHIS yc;ir a successful attempt was made to inaugurate a six-man touch football team in College High. Exactly twelve players reported for the first practice, which was just enough for two full teams. The Pony grid-men were ably coached by Chuck Savelli of the College who had received much experience at Upsala. The first team was composed of Ed Howe, Red MacDaniel, and Don Hawes in the backfield with Pete Harrison, Monte DuVal, and Giulio Pontecorvo filling the line posi- tions. On the second team were Lang Norris, Tom Bell, Dave Jones, Gingie Beck, George Swick, and Russell Reed. There was very little difference between the two teams, both of them being used alternately in the games. Similar to the College team ' s training, the Ponies had blackboard drills during the noon hour, which proved to be great helps in explaining the plays. Altogether, only three plays were used with variations of each. The team began by beating our old rival, Montclair Academy, to the tune of 12-0. This victory was closely followed by another when the Ponies completely outplayed a bewildered Mont- clair High sextet, 24-6. The last game was played against Glen Ridge, in which the Ponies displayed briOiant tactics throughout the en- counter. With the aid of Ed Howe ' s accurate passing and Don Hawes ' broken field gains, C.H.S. managed to get three touchdowns and hold the Ridgers scoreless, making it a 18-0 victory. P.igc Flfty-fiv rJJ)own the rack T HILE none of College High ' s track warriors has come home with the traditional olive wreath garnishing his temples, much interest has been evidenced in this year ' s team, and it seems that track will become the regular spring sport at Col- lege High. This spring saw the initial effort of the boys in gold and black in actual competition, and although they were beaten by a superior Verona outfit, some of the locals did make good. The first event of the meet was the hundred- yard dash in which Warren Flash Amster took a second, and as the other events were run off it be- came apparent that although the Ponies were not going to win, they would pile up a fair score. Others that contributed to the total were Red MacDaniel, in the broad jump; Don Hawes, in the discus; and Ed Howe and Monte DuVal in the javelin and shot put. Ponies who took part in the meet, but who failed to garner any points, were Clement Peer, in the dashes; George Swick, in the 440-yd. run; and Giulio Pontecorvo and Russell Reed, in the high jump. Coach Jim Poet feels that with some intensive practice and some additional competition, the team will improve enough to be a serious threat in any meet with a school in its own class. Other meets that have been contemplated are one with Clifford Scott High and another with Glen Ridge, and if any of th e boys are good enough, they will be able to participate in the state meet held every year at Essex Field.
