Will tarn vUaUace 7 MarHn Place Little Falls TKe second half of tKe famous senior Mutt and Jeff team is well known throughout the school as Willy. If the soft strains of You Are My Sun- shine sung in a melodious voice are heard in the upper hall, you can be sure that Willy is about to dash around the corner. A peppy base- ball player and rooter. Bill never lets any play go by. He also brings enthusiasm into many basketball games. Whether it ' s Physics, Math or English, Willy can always be counted on for the right answer, and has pulled the senior boys out of many a tough assignment. We have to admit that Willy can t be beat.

Wanan WiL lisey 138 Heller Parkway Newark Marian is generally heard grumbling good- naturedly about cold weather, the si.xth hour class she always falls heir to, or the 30 Bloomfield bus. Seriously though, if you want to know the latest joke, or want your latest joke appreciated, go find Marian. You will probably find her in the library reading the New York Times, or translating Latin, for she was one of the few members of the class to brave four years of that subject. The possessor of a pretty smile and laughing blue eyes, Marian can be counted on to come up laughing no matter what happens. All in all a swell sport and grand girl, we wish Marian luck always.

ZJInrough the Ujears . . . We the class oF 43 are forced to admit that we are the finest class that has evei had a contestant in the pie-eating contest on playday. By nature we, the studet;ts of our class, are modest and retiring (except when we are awake) and therefore we don t want to put too much emphasis on what a wonderful boolc this reallv is. But we must show you the mighty ladder we have climbed in our noble way, so we present as a heritage to you, this brief recording of our class history. We hope that you will have the courage to follow our example, even after you see what endurance it takes for each of us to autograph 126 yearbooks. We entered the seventh grade in the typical timid manner that all classes do, but it didn t take us long to get accustomed to our new surroundings. Our main activity for the year was puppet-making. Dr. Partridge helped out by taking a group to New York each week to specialize in some phase of puppet assemblying. The specialists then returned to teach the rest of the class. On May 14 the puppet show was presented to the school in assembly. Under Mr. Nickerson s direction, we gave a choral speaking assembly, which v ' as judged to be one or the most outstanding presentations of the year. Mrs. Winchester took many groups to New York to see the various museums. At the end of the year we all knew we would like it at College High. Returning from our summer vacation with blood in our eyes for the new seventh grade, we started in instantly hazing them. Festivities lasted until Hallo- ween night, when the underclassmen were formally initiated. With Jerry De Rosa as our homeroom adviser, we took several field trips, one of which vas to the Breyer s Ice Cream Factory in Newark. In our English class we vsTote our autobiographies and joined the Junior Literary Guild. It was in this grade that our athletic prowess first showed up. During the basketball season we formed what was to be t he nucleus of one of the best teams in the history of College High. We also formed a baseball team and had an undefeated season playing other schools. Latin or French? That was the leading question we faced at the beginning of our eventful freshman year. But the problem was soon forgotten in the excite- ment of preparing to produce The Enchanted Christmas Tree in the assembly, and cooking a perfectly indigestible meal of Garbanzes (navy beans to a sailor) for the social studies class. We left something of ourselves for immortality by making
