Dedication To express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for the help, advice and support which has been given us during our six years at College High School, We, the Class of Nineteen Forty-six, dedicate this yearbook to OUR PARENTS AND THE FACULTY ■Seniors Joan Anderton Who ' s at the top of the list alphabetically and other- wise? Why it ' s Andy, of course. She is one of those rare three-in-one girls with looks, brains, and per- sonality. She always amazes us by putting her finger on just the right answer, even when she ' s half an hour late to class. Many times as proof and copy editor of the Crier she has saved the staff from starvation with boxes of cookies or cakes which she always seems to have on hand. We are sorry to see the last of the Andertons leave the portals of College High, and we hope that she ' ll have as much success as the rest of the family. junior A. A.; Senior A.A.; Dramatic Club; Class Vice-President; Cheerleader ; Crier, Yearbook; Chorus. Thelma Barnes When Thelma entered our class in the tenth grade, our first impression of her was that of the All-Amer- ican girl with a ready smile, white teeth and a won- derful tan. Unlike most first impressions, this one stuck. If you have any doubts about the meaning of a sailing term, or where the best skiing resort is located, ask Thel and you will be sure to get the right answer. The first one of the senior class to be able to drive (legally) , Thel is always willing to drive us to Bond ' s or to Montclair center for an errand. Thel wants to attend a junior college and will decide on a career when she is there. Senior A. A.; Dramatic Club; Chorus. Grace Barton When doing homework, two heads are better than one, especially when one is Grace ' s. A careful and persistent worker, Grace deserves the good marks she receives. Holding the class record of never missing a day of school, Grace also rarely misses a class party or basketball game. Grace has been a valuable member of the orchestra and Girls ' A. A. since she entered C.H.S. in the ninth grade. She intends to study chemi- cal engineering at Cornell. We admire her courage in entering this field, for we realize that engineering is a difficult study for a girl. However, since Grace was one of the two girls to brave senior math, we feel sure that she will succeed. Dramatic Club ; Senior A. A.; Orchestra; Class Vice- President; Chorus; Crier. George Becker Re-entering C.H.S. in ' 45 after a four-year ab- sence, George immediately became known as one of the distinguished seniors. Possessing long eyelashes, a short crew cut and an ability to pun out of any situation, he has kept us constantly amused. George has winded many a classmate on hikes during vaca- tions. Though to us he is George, for obvious reasons he is known as Mr. Anthony to the col- lege girls (woof!). Well informed in other things, George always seems to come through with a famous quotation at the appropriate time. George wants to follow in his father ' s footsteps and be a doctor, and he is often heard discussing his future profession. Football: Chorus. Helen Bennett One might think that anyone who works as hard and gets such wonderful marks as Helen does would have time for little else, but this is definitely not true in her case. Leading the girls of C.H.S. in all sports, she is president of the Senior A. A., and the backbone of the girls ' hockey, baseball and basketball teams. Pretty and popular, she is seen at all the College High parties and social functions, and always seems to be having a very good time. Helen, the model of neat- ness in her personal appearance, always hands in neat, accurate work. To sum it all up, we might say that perfection is the word for Helen. ]unior A.A.: Senior A. A. President: Senior A. A. Secretary; Class Secretary; Chorus; Student Council Secretary; Crier ; Yearbook. Lois Booth When we come to summing up who ' s who in the Class of ' 46 and what they are noted for, we come to glamour. And who else could be more noted for it than Lois? Lois has a rare talent in her ability to fix things over artistically. She plans to enter some phase of the field of art, and we wouldn ' t be at all surprised to see her name mentioned as a famous in- terior decorator some day. She is also a conscientious worker and it would be difficult to imagine an honor roll without her name somewhere near the top. Lois has an original sense of humor, but she can always be counted upon to appreciate everyone ' s jokes. Junior A. A.: Senior A. A.; Dramatic Club; Chorus; Class Secretary ; Class Vice-President; Crier. Elliot Chester We shudder when we think how dull our six years at C.H.S. would have been without Elliot. Even the dullest of classes has been brightened by Chet ' s rare sense of humor. Being the only black-haired boy in the class gains Chet a certain distinction. Coming late to all class parties and school dances with very novel excuses, such as, I had a flat, gains him even more distinction. Chet wants to be a doctor. We are sure that, besides being a fine doctor from a medical stand- point, Elliot will have a bedside manner that will leave nothing to be desired. Chorus: Football: Crier: Class Secretary: Dramatic Club. Canfield Clark Mention Canfield, and the subject of sports always comes to mind. Besides being co-sports editor of the Crier, Canny is one of the mainstays of all C.H.S. teams. He is also an expert golfer. Canny ' s popularity in school was ascertained when he was elected vice- president and then president of the Student Council. He keeps trying to convince us that he can sing, and at any time of the day you are apt to hear some of that singing issuing from his mighty vocal chords. Nobody envies his musical ability, but we all envy his popularity. Canny is planning to be a metallurgical engineer, and we wish him the best of luck. Class President; Class Vice-President; Student Council President; Student Council Vice-President; Student Council Kep resentative; Basketball, Captain; Baseball; Crier ; Football; Chorus; Yearbook. Lawson Cooper Lawson is the enterpriser of the senior class. He managed football, basketball, and baseball teams, and was the chairman of the senior carnival, Country Capers, given last fall. Many of us would never have reached class parties without transportation in Law- son ' s decrepit, but faithful, Chevrolet. The only thing that keeps this car in active duty is Lawson ' s profi- ciency as a mechanic. He has (or should we say had?) attractive, blond, wavy hair. It is still attractive and blond, but the waves are gone. This is due to the butch administered by the female barbers of the Class of ' 46. We know that Lawson will succeed in his intended field of electrical engineering. Manager of Football, Basketball, and Baseball. David Crowell You can always look to Dave for leadership, whether it ' s heading up the Crier or directing one of the class ' s important committee. Every time, he can be counted upon to carry out his various duties in a responsible manner. Although Dave ' s sense of humor (running to puns) has often irked us, it has also helped brighten many monotonous classes. As well as pep- ping up classes, Dave always helps a party to be a success by getting everyone into very high spirits. His name has been constantly on the honor roll since the seventh grade, although he participates in many extra- curricular activities. Class President; Class Vice-President; Class Secre- tary; Strident Council Representative ; Crier; Year- book; Baseball ; Football ; Orchestra; Chorus. Candace de Vries If a stranger were to enter the Class of ' 46, the first question he would ask would be, Who is that cute, dark-haired girl who is always bubbling over with fun? Naturally it would be Candy. She is an excel- lent rider and already has won several ribbons. She is also an accomplished hostess, and we will always remember her parties as special events. Candy ' s pres- ence assures success to any party. She has a dual personality, that of a fun lover and a hard worker. Candy decorates the pages of her notebooks with cute animals (usually horses) . She is talented artistically, and we are sure of her success in her chosen profes- sion, that of writing and illustrating children ' s books. Junior A. A.; Senior A. A.: Student Council Vice- President; Dramatic Club; Chorus; Crier; Yearbook. Patricia Doremus As captain of the cheerleaders, Pat has whipped the squad into the best shape in which it has ever been. Organizing noontime meetings and securing appro- priate uniforms for the squad, she contributed a vital morale factor to the team. Funnier than the jokes Pat tells, is the fact that she can never remember the punch lines. Pat has shown her dramatic ability in several C.H.S. plays. Many a lunch hour has been brightened for the girls when Pat recounted her latest experience in a humorous fashion. Pat is planning to work in social welfare. With her past experience at the T.B. institution for poor children, she already has a start in this profession. junior A. A.; Senior A. A.; Dramatic Club; Cheer- leading Captain; Chorus; Class Vice-President. Rita Dor f man It is hard to imagine what the last six years would have been like without Rita and her infectious laugh. The born actress of the class, she has kept us con- stantly amused with her antics. We will certainly never forget Rita ' s hilarious demonstration of what I just learned at my ballet lesson. Rita, an aviation enthusiast, is the only class member who belongs to the Civil Air Patrol. She has made a success of this venture. She is a loyal supporter of the A. A. and is one of the peppiest members of the cheerleading squad. Rita wants to be an aviation stewardess after her medical training, and with her cheerful person- ality, she should certa ' nly keep her passengers happy. Student Council R presentative ; Dramatic Club; junior A. A.; Senior A. A.; Class Vice-President; Class Secretary; Chorus ; Cheerleader; Crier; Yearbook. Patricia Durget When Irish eyes are smiling, is a typical phrase describing Pat. With the Irish eyes goes the stubborn Irish nature. Pat is very able to defend her views oh life as well as on the political figures of the day. One of the feature editors on the Criei, Pat cheerfully bore up under the strain of deadlines. Her excellent sense of rhythm makes her a good dancer. If you are feeling in a teasing mood and want a victim who will fall for any gag just find Pat. She falls for any- thing. Pat wants to go to St. Elizabeth ' s, and we are sure that she ' ll make as good a record there as she did at College High. Junior A. A.; Senior A. A.; Dramatic Club; Cheer- leader; Crier; Chorus; Class Secretary. Carol Eaton Looking back on the first three years at C.H.S., we wonder how we ever got along without Carol. Upon entering the Class of ' 46 in the tenth grade, Carol immediately became one of us. A member of the cheerleading squad, Carol is full of spirit and pep and is an ideal cheerleader. Living within walking distance of the school, she can always be counted on for an extra bed or two for any girls who need bed and board for the night. Carol plans to go to Skid- more where she will study nursing. We are sure that several male patients will contract heart trouble when a certain blonde nurse takes care of them. Senior A. A.; Dramatic Club; Chorus; Crier; Stu- dent Council Secretary; Yearbook ; Cheerleader. Barbara Evans Big blue eyes, a high contagious giggle, and lots of pep, all characterize Barbara. Every time she widens those eyes to help her explain some seemingly impor- tant fact, the natural comment that is sure to be made is, Oh! Isn ' t Barbara cute? She ' s a hard worker, as can be seen by her neat, carefully done homework. So we are never surprised when her name once again is on the honor roll. We will never forget (and neither will the Evans ' neighbors!) the fun we had at Bobbie ' s New Year ' s Eve party. When we go on to college classes we will certainly miss Barbara. She plans to go to college and major in Home Economics or Science. Dramatic Club; Chorus; Junior A.A.; Senior A. A.; Class Secretary. Martin Haubenstock Friendly, good-natured and characterized by a very lively sense of humor, Marty can usually be heard laughing himself into, or occasionally out of, embar- rassing situations. With an ability to get everyone into a jovial mood, Marty is always a welcome figure at class parties. Although he himself won ' t admit it, he ' s the only redhead among the seniors, but he is very obviously lacking in that undesirable trait, quick temper, commonly accredited to redheads. You can always count on Marty to be a hard worker on any class project, or on anything for that matter. Hauby is bound to come through, and we wish him the best of luck. Class Vice-President ; Dramatic Club ; Student Coun- cil Representative; Chorus; Crier. Jack Keboe If you hear a burst of laughter in the midst of a dull class, ten-to-one it ' s from the vicinity of Jack. Jack ' s witty side-remarks have brightened many dull classes. Hailing from Bean Town, that section of Clifton, Jack good-naturedly combats all the kidding that the class jokesters hand out on this subject. Aviation is one of his chief interests which is evidenced by his many expert-looking plane models. Accordingly, aeronautics is his chosen field. A staunch supporter of all Notre Dame athletic teams, Jack can tell you just who plays in the backfield on the football team, or the score of the latest basketball game. Class Vice-President; Class Secretary. Alan Konzelman Why do most of the seniors wish that Alan would use a megaphone? The answer is almost self-evident. It seems that that would be the only way in which all of the seniors could hear all of the hilarious side- remarks that issue from this master-mind. And his nibs won ' t repeat himself, so if you miss one, you ' re out of luck. But don ' t get the idea that this blond good-looking senior is a quiet, mousey sort of charac- ter, far from it. Nicknamed Spark by one of his long-suffering profs, Alan certainly helps to keep the class fired up. Alan hopes to attend the Merchant Marine Academy at Kingspoint, L. I., after he grad- uates from C.H.S. Football. Henry Koons If Ivan Dimitri is put out of the photographic lime- light within a few years, we wouldn ' t be at all sur- prised to find that Henry stole the show. Many a time we have been reminded of a pleasant class experi- ence by seeing a picture Hank had snapped at just the right moment. Besides being an ace photographer, Henry also holds his own in studies. He is another one of those Dodger fans, and has traveled to Brook- lyn to see them Moider da bums. Henry is the tallest boy in the class and also one of the best na- tured, as is proved by the way he takes what comes with good humor and no questions asked. Crier; Yearbook; Basketball : Baseball; Class Presi- dent. Millicent Purcell Never, and we mean never, get into an argument with Mitzie, the senior class parrakeet. A blue streak talker, she could put Danny Kaye to shame. When Mitzie starts a report in class, we drop our pencils in amazement and try in vain to catch every third word. The girls will long remember her hilarious pajama parties and the food that accompanied them. Her peppy renditions of popular tunes have brightened many a noon hour. Mitzie went to Florida for part of our senior year, but when she returned to us in February, she fitted back into her place as if she had never left. ]unioir A.A.; Senior A. A.; Chorus. William Shepard Who ' s the boy with that collection of bright ties and even brighter socks ? Why, Shep, of course. And what senior drives up to school in Willie ' s Willys, the famous green car? Again we turn to Bill. An honor roll student since the seventh grade, Bill constantly amazes us with his ability to think a problem through clearly and logically, and his neatness is exceptional. As shown by his collection of M ' s, Bill is a star guard on the basketball quintet, a fast, sure football end, and a quick catcher on the baseball nine. As we look back on our years at C.H.S., we realize how essential Bill has been to the Class of ' 46. Basketball; Baseball; Football; Student Council Representative ; Class President; Crier; Yearbook; Class Vice-President; Chorus. Peter Sloan Ever since seventh grade, Pete has never ceased to amuse us with his witty remarks. A letterman for two years, Pete is noted for basketball and baseball. Shooting himself up from the jayvees, Pete ' s now a varsity top scorer. He has helped to win many a game by his tricky dribbling and shooting. Another one of his traits is talking, and whenever there is a discus- sion in the class, you may be sure that Senator Sloan is in the middle of it fighting for his prin- ciples. Pete ' s popularity was shown when he was elected Student Council president for the first semes- ter. Pete is very active socially and is an asset to any party. Basketball; Baseball; Manager of Football; Chorus; Student Council Secretary ; Student Council President. Sally Stockton Sally entered our class in our junior year, but it did not take her long to fit in. Her repertoire of contagious laughs is seemingly unending, so we especially like to have her around when boredom threatens. Sally seems to dash off weekly English papers effortlessly (though she denies this), and since she joined us, no honor roll has been complete without her name. If you need some good advice, Sally ' s the one you should ask, and she ' s one of those rare, wonderful persons who offers it only when asked. Sally ' s planning to be a Spanish interpreter in South America; we ' re cer- tainly jealous of the South Americans. Chora:; Class Secretary. Margaret Taylor The second girl of her family to graduate from C.H.S., Peggy has upheld the Taylor tradition through her years at school. Very well informed on current and foreign events, she can hold her own in discus- sions. Many ' s the time that her calm and persuasive arguments have won us over to her side. Peggy is known to all of us as a wonderful hostess. We will never forget the many times the Taylors have opened up their house to give a peppy house party. Peggy ' s ambition is to be a journalist, and after all the evi- dence we ' ve seen of her extraordinary talent along this line, we feel confident that she will succeed. Junior A. A.; Senior A. A.; Dramatic Club; Crier; Chorus; Student Council Representative; Class Vice- President: Yearbook. Robert West Bob continually amazes us with his off-hand informa- tion on practically every subject that arises. Whether rattling off the past participle of a difficult French verb or expounding Einstein ' s theory of relativity, Bob can be counted upon to come through in A + form. We were especially proud of Bob this year, when he proved to be one of the forty finalists in a nation-wide science talent search. Bob played right end on the football team this year and his many touchdowns helped the team through its successful season. Bob also has the unusual record of being class treasurer for six years. He expects to make chemical engineering his profession after college. Class Treasurer; Baseball; Football; Crier; Year- book; Chorus. Well Never Forget the Time Three seniors ran the Caldwell branch of the Erie Railroad while the rest of us visited Mr. Bohn. We went to Deer Lake on the Junior-Senior picnic, and stayed overtime. The girls discovered the memory book in the Crier Office. Lawson came to school with his white mice. The boys made and modeled crazy hats at Barbara ' s New Year ' s Eve party. We played Capture-the-Flag the morning-after-the-night-before. Dave and Elliot had the water fight in Chem Lab. Miss Ransom got hit on the head with a snowball, accidentally on purpose. Mr. Sott told us about goals with appropriate gestures. Artie took over the French class with disastrous results. Some pink icing mysteriously got stuck on the stair railing. We gave the Varga calendar to Mr. Conrad. Dr. Glenn forgot to show up for our evening astronomy lesson, but nobody cared any- way. (Because it was the night of the Aurora Borealis.) Miss Ransom poured mercury all over the floor. There was maple syrup in, around, and below the Crier office. A chair fell through the Crier office window. Dave gallantly crawled down the sewer to rescue Candy ' s math book. Canfield and Dave discovered they could sing. Barbara met her friend on the bus. Carla was the rage. Mrs. Ramsden rode her striped bicycle on a held trip to Little Falls. Martin ' s boomerang nearly missed a school window. Miss Ransom told us she was engaged to Pfc. Claghorn and invited us all to her wed- ding in New Hampshire. Senator Sloan had a water fight with a ninth grade mother. Dr. Wittmer told us about his Cousin Helen. (Or should we say times?) We had those loyalty feuds about hometowns. Some of the cheerleaders kissed the basketball team after an exciting victory over Im- maculate. Canfield tried on Andy ' s skirt for size. Reminiscence There was a hushed silenced in the darkened room. The logs were crackling briskly in the fireplace. Twenty-six arm-chairs were gathered around the open hearth, and small ringlets of smoke curled slowly up to the ceiling from the pipes of the twelve old men assembled there. Also present were fourteen spry old girls dressed in their latest glass fabric ensemble. It was the year 1996 and the Montclair College High School Class of 1946 was holding its first complete reunion since graduation. They were discussing the many gay times they had had together at dear old Alma Mater. An old gentleman puffing intermittently at his trusty corncob was speaking. Remem- ber the way those mighty eighth graders whipped up thoroughly into submission by an initiation? We were made to realize that as seventh graders we were the lowest form of animal life that existed. Then there was that book of original poetry we published with the aid of Mrs. Winchester and our old English professor, Dr. Nickerson. We visited quite a few museums back in those days, too. I think they called one of them the Museum of Natural History and another was called the Museum of Science and Industry. Of course, they ' re slightly out-of-date now. Up spoke a frisky old girl who was sitting next to him. How about that eventful year we had as eighth graders? An unfortunate accident ended the tradition of initiations at College High, but nevertheless we succeeded in humbling the wee seventh graders. We produced a mock trial, which we wrote, directed, and acted in ourselves, aided by Mr. Hamilton. About that time, said another alumnus, we joined the Junior Literary Guild, and at the end of the year we donated the books to the high school library. This also was the year in which the United States became involved in that second World War. We lost several of our teachers to the armed forces, and the coming of the war sobered us a bit. Why, I remember our ninth year as if it were yesterday, said an impressive- looking, white-haired old man. I guess we felt pretty high and mighty that fall when we entered as freshmen in high school. We were now approaching the realm of upper class- men. The boys began to notice the girls and vice versa. In our Western Culture class we held a South American dinner, which we cooked and digested (?) ourselves. We also had an exhibit of various projects we had made in connection with our South American studies. Suddenly, a little old lady, who had been knitting quietly, put down her needles. Why, I remember how as tenth graders in Mr. Conrad ' s class, we founded the school ' s Service Honor Roll. We erected a plaque in the office and dedicated a service flag in the assembly. Oh, and how I remember that first dance we gave; we called it the Trysting- Hour. That was a great social success. We also kept abreast of the great number of war books being published at that time, and reported on many of them. We followed the progress of a book Mr. Conrad was editing, and from this we got first hand knowl- edge of how a book is published. Another dignified old man got up from his chair and stood before the fireplace. I ' ll never forget our junior year. Why, I believe that it was one of our most profitable ones at C.H.S. We started it off by selling hot dogs and ' cokes ' at the football games. Then we gave, for the first time in the sc hool ' s history, a juke-box affair, otherwise known as a poverty dance. We took over management of the Crier and kept up the fine traditions of former staffs. In our English class we read several Shakespearean plays and finished this exercise by journeying to New York with Dr. Krauss to see Margaret Webster ' s production of The Tempest. With the aid of Dr. Krauss and Dr. Fulcomer, we presented in the assembly a one-act farce entitled The Lost Elevator. We finished up the year by giving the departing seniors an all-day picnic at Deer Lake, accompanied by Mr. Sey- bold, Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, and Mrs. Cooper. A tall, lanky old gentleman, with a receding hairline, who had been president of the class during their senior year, arose slowly. As the senior class president, let me say a few words concerning our last and most fruitful year at good old College High School. Entering the halls of C.H.S. for the sixth and last year, we were determined to make the best of it. The problem of entering a good college was foremost in our minds. We left a not-soon-to-be-forgotten impression upon the sports record of the school, develop- ing many three-letter men. We then held the annual carnival at the school, which we called Country Capers. Accompanied by Dr. Glenn we went to the Blairstown airport in connection with our physics course. We took a trip to Madison Square Garden to see a hockey game. We held a senior bridge (gin rummy provided for those who couldn ' t play bridge) and gave a play in May. As our last year drew to an end, we realized how much our six years at College High had meant to us. The old gentleman knocked his pipe against the mantlepiece and walked slowly to his armchair. The men continued puffing their pipes and cigars, while the gay old ladies con- tinued knitting their grandchildrens ' sweaters, boots, etc. A silence fell over the room as the last few embers in the fireplace died out.

Junior Class The members of the Junior Class were kept very busy during their fifth year at Col- lege High School, as many of them participated in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. The eleventh graders started off the social season at the high school by giving a sport dance which they named Fall Finale. This dance was the second social event which these students had presented, and it served as a fitting farewell to fall. For the remainder of the year, the class was in charge of purchasing records, running the record machine, and maintaining order at the noon-hour dancing held in the gym. With the beginning of the New Year, the Class of ' 47 took over the Crier, and was responsible for editing and distributing the triweekly publication throughout the second semester. Assisted by Madame Cressy, the juniors revived the French Club which had been dor- mant for three years previous to this. The class expects to continue to give, and to encourage other classes to give their full support to the club next year. Well represented athletically, the eleventh graders were responsible for many lettermen on the football, basketball and baseball teams. A number of the members of the Girls ' A. A. were also from this class. Several junior girls were chosen to be members of the newly reorganized cheerleading squad and attended all varsity games. To climax the year, the students presented a successful comedy and dance in May. The juniors, in accordance with the school trad : )n, took the seniors on the annual junior-senior picnic. Sophomore Class After three years in the lower hall, the Sophomore Class graduated to the quiet and sophisticated upper hall and showed themselves well worthy of this honor. Upon becoming sophomores, the class inherited the task of maintaining the school Honor Roll which was started by the present seniors. Their work on the Honor Roll led the forty-eighters to put forth the idea of a permanent memorial for those from the school who served in the war. Later in the year a committee was appoined to develop this idea. Early in the school year, the class started work on the annual dance given by the sopho- mores. After much work on the part of the members of the class, the dance was given in March and proved to be a great success, adding much to the social life at College High. On the gridiron and basketball court, the Class of ' 48 showed talent with several members receiving letters in these sports. The sophomores also showed their school spirit by attending all of the school sports events and supporting the various dances and other s ocial functions. In addition to all its other activities, both in and out of school, the class found time to have several parties and other get-togethers. Many of the members also went to New York in the fall to see the fleet in observance of Navy Day. All of these class affairs helped to knit the class more closely together . This doesn ' t finish the history of the Class of ' 48, however, and they should prove to be leaders in their two remaining years at College High.

Freshman Class The Freshman Class, entering College High School last September for the first time as high school students, immediately started work on their plans for the year. Being a studiously-minded group, the class began the Western Culture course making observations on the conditions of South America. The ninth graders were particularly interested in Argentina, so they planned a mock trial which they presented before the Parent-Teacher Association. Previous to this presentation, two similar trials had been held. Although it was the decision of the student jury that Argentina was guilty as charged and should be convicted, the parent jury voted a unanimous verdict of not guilty. Another activity of the Western Culture class was the making of projects. This piece of work and the research required for it were considered the most outstanding achieve- ments of the freshmen during the year. To lend a hand in the post-war effort and help create a feeling of friendliness, the girls of the ninth grade promised to send two packages containing food and clothing every month to unfortunate and undernourished French children. The class showed a lot of school spirit during the past year. Quite a few of the boys participated in varsity athletics and two of them were members of the varsity basketball squad. The Girls ' A. A. was supported by the freshman girls, and they will help to carry on the organization during the next few years. The entire class attended a majority of the football and basketball games and supported the various other extra-curricular activities. Eighth Grade The Eighth Grade came back to school joyfully contemplating the prospect of no longer being the babies of the school, and of being able to have at least one group of underclassmen to look down on. After the first few meetings of the class, officers were elected for the coming semesters. They were: President, Rusty Reid; Vice-President, Robert Hunziker; Secretary, Cynthia Wallace; Treasurer, John Armstrong; Student Council Representative, Stuart Lohr. Soon the question came up about joining the Junior Literary Guild, which the previous eighth graders had done. But, in order to get a wider selection of books, the class decided to order directly from the publishers. A committee was chosen by the class to work with Mr. Salt, their English teacher, to select the books. The class decided to purchase the books each month until the end of the year, and then to donate them to the library. During the Christmas vacation, a trip was taken by the students, under the direction of their science teacher, to the Hayden Planetarium in New York, to find out more about their current science subject, astronomy. As the new year opened, members of the class were chosen as officers for the coming term. The class also decided to put on a class play for the school as part of their English work. The play, The Early Worm, was given for the whole school January 29 in the auditorium. As the year drew to a close, the Class of ' 50 looked forward to their first year of high school after the end of the summer vacation.

Seventh Grade After fearlessly entering the classroom of College High, the new seventh grade soon found itself to be not so important a part of the school affairs. However, many of them appeared at the senior carnival, Country Capers, and were made to feel very welcome. A few of the seventh graders also attended the junior dance, and several members of the class gave parties at their own homes. The traditional Christmas party and pageant for the mothers was held just before the Christmas vacation and was quite a success. The class went on many interesting trips. Among them was one to the Metropolian Museum of Art and the Museum of Naural History in New York City. The annual seventh grade overnight trip to High Point Park, New Jersey, with Mrs. Winchester, was an important event of the year. However, life has not been all parties and educational field trips. The girls have given their wholehearted support to the Junior A.A. where they have shown their athletic ability. Some students have been reporters for the Crier which aided them when they put out their own paper at the end of the year. Though not very important this year, the seventh graders look forward to next year as eighth graders and to all the other years ahead of them at College High.

Student Council Last September saw the opening of College High ' s first peacetime Student Council in five years. Members of all grades participate in the Student Council, which is the representative and legislative body of the students of the school. The job of the Council is to appoint committees, to head school activities, and to further carry out the students ' interests. Peter Sloan was chosen president, with Canfield Clark and Carol Eaton serving under him as vice-president and secretary, respectively. Due to the fact that the war was over, it was possible for the Council to launch a year full of benefits for the school and stu- dent body which would not be affected by wartime restrictions. After appointing a junior to be in charge, the Council decided to limit the noon-hour dancing to twice a week so that it would be possible to carry out a more extensive sports program. Fire drill captains were appointed by the representatives to serve in case of emergency. These students also planned assemblies, and began plans for a rifle club, hiking committee, and Alumni Day activities. At the opening session of the second semester, Canfield Clark, Candy de Vries, and Helen Bennett were chosen as officers for the remainder of the year. Accomplishments of the second half of the year included an inquiry into the Extended Education Plan, which has been introduced into College High ' s program, the formation of an athletic committee, limitation of seventh grade voting for Council officers to second semester elections, and the revival of the annual seventh grade initiation party. Crier College High ' s tri-weekly newspaper, the Crier, has long been recognized as an out- standing school publication. The 1945 staff, under the leadership of Dave Crowell, editor-in-chief, succeeded in upholding the Crier ' s fine record. The staff was chosen on the basis of a trial issue published last year with the help of the retiring editors. The associate editors were as follows: News, Bob West; Sports, Helen Bennett and Canfield Clark; Features, Cand y deVries and Patricia Durget; Make- up, Bill Shepard; Headlines, Elliot Chester; Proof and Copy, Joan Anderton; Exchange, Rita Dorfman; Photography, Henry Koons; and Alumni, Peggy Taylor. Though they had not received any journalistic training, the members of the staff made up in teamwork and enthusiasm what they lacked in newspaper education. In May, 1945, a special six-page edition of the Crier was published. In this issue, the events of the year were reviewed and feature articles and pictures about College High were printed. In September, the staff resumed work on the rag, without the help of student adviser Don Baer. The need for someone to have charge of rewriting news articles was noticed, so the post of rewrite editor was created. Lois Booth was chosen for this position. November marked the fifteenth year of continuous publication of the Crier. This occasion was marked by an anniversary page in the November 1 3 issue, devoted to reprints of out- standing articles of preceding years. In all, this staff published ten issues of the Crier before turning it over to a new junior staff at the beginning of the second term. Certainly all those on the staff deserve praise for their creditable work in publishing College High ' s newspaper.

Chorus and Orchestra The chorus and orchestra were two of the more actively functioning organizations of College High during the past year. New pep was added to the groups last fall, when both were placed under the direction of Mr. Edwin S. Cobb. Mr. Cobb, who was formerly an instructor of music in a school in New York City, replaced Mr. Mallon and Mr. Derrick, the co-directors of the orchestra and chorus during the 1944-1945 season. Although the orchestra had planned to play before every assembly period during the year, circumstances made it possible for the group to participate only in some assemblies. The most noteworthy of these was the Christmas assembly in which the members of the orchestra rendered seasonal music and accompanied the singing of carols by the student body. An important event on the calendar of the organization was a performance at one of the Parent- Teacher Association meetings. At Thanksgiving the girls ' chorus, which had been organized as a separate division, and the general chorus merged to form a mixed chorus. This new group continued activity as a unit for the remainder of the school year. At the beginning of the second semester, the choruses gained new strength with the addition of the senior class to their ranks. The members of both music groups participated in the commencement exercises held in May. With the past year ' s activity as a foundation to build on, and with additional members from the lower classes, the chorus and orchestra show signs of becoming an even more important part of the school ' s activities in the future, than in former years. Six Man Football This was the fourth and biggest year of six-man football at College High in spite of the loss, by graduation in June, of almost all of last year ' s regulars. The 1945 season was saved by a record turnout of twenty-one candidates from the four upper grades, who answered the call for practice as the season started. Arthur E. Morr filled the vacancy created by the resignation of Chester Pittser as head coach. The Ponies travelled to Central Park, New York, for their opening game October 19. Tremendously outweighed, the Ponies depended chiefly on their passing attack, and subdued Collegiate Prep by a score of 20-7 for their first victory. Buxton was defeated 32-2 in the first home game October 26. This was a costly victory however, as Doug Smith, first string halfback was injured and lost to the team for the remainder of the season. In a home game November 2, McBurney School was beaten 32-18. A return game at Buxton was cancelled at their request, and the Ponies ended their 1945 football season with one defeat, suffering their lone setback at the hands of Adelphi Academy of Brook- lyn, 28-13. Despite this defeat, College High finished a highly successful season. Out- weighed at least fifteen pounds per man by every opponent, good coaching, fine spirit, and a determination to win, paid off in three out of four games. The Ponies collected 97 points to their opponents ' 55. Next fall the Ponies will have potentially the best team in their history, with many of the 1945 season ' s regulars available. Jim Quackenbush was elected captain of the 1946 team by his teammates at the end of the season.

Basketball College High School was very fortunate this year to acquire the services of Angelo Butch Fortunato as coach of the Pony basketball squad. This is his second year in this capacity. The team that he turned out last year was the best basketball team in the his- tory of the school. Only three lettermen, Pete Sloan, Bill Shepard, and Canfield Clark, returned from last year squad. These three fellows formed the nucleus of the team, but they received invaluable assistance from the underclassmen. Clark was elected captain of the team by last year ' s squad. A tough schedule was arranged for the 1946 season by the manager and Butch. The schedule included games with Buxton, Eastern Academy, Montclair Academy, Mc- Burney, Carteret, Immaculate Conception, Clifford Scott, Verona, and Newark Academy. Despite this tough schedule, the Ponies were able to win six of their fourteen games. The climax of the season was a 41-37 victory over Immaculate Conception to end a six- game losing streak. Immaculate had set back the j Ponies 56-30 earlier in the season. Carteret also bowed to College High, 29-25, after having previously given the Ponies a convincing defeat. In a high-scoring game with McBurney, the team found itself on the losing end of a 58-48 score. The Ponies dropped Eastern Academy twice by the score of 37-26 and 29-24. Buxton was also beaten twice in two of the Ponies ' highest scoring games. rete Sloan took individual scoring honor ' s with the impressive total of 215 points. In one game against Buxton he scored thirty-two points. Baseball In the spring of 1945, College High School fielded a baseball team for the first time in two years. Despite the two year layoff, there was a large turnout for the Ponies ' initial practice, and, under the guidance of Coach Bill Dioguardi, the team progressed rapidly and was ready for its opener against the Kearny J.V. ' s April 10. This was a heartbreaker, lost by a 3-2 score with the tieing and winning runs on base as the game ended. Bad luck continued to follow the Ponies, and they lost their next five in a row, two to Bloomfield Tech., two to St. Benedict ' s J.V., and one to Montclair High ' s J.V. One of these was a one-hitter won by Bloomfield Tech. College High finally broke into the victory column on May 15 when they downed Eastern Academy by a decisive 6-3 count. This was followed by a 7-5 victory over New- ark Tech. the next day. In spite of a short season, caused by the early closing date of the school, the Ponies played eight regular games. Although they ended the season with an unimpressive 2-6 record, the team, which was comprised mostly of underclassmen, gained immeasurably in experience which should stand them in good stead. Those pictured above are the nine returning lettermen on the team. Included are: Canfield Clark, pitcher; Peter Sloan, outfield; David Crowell, outfield; Bill Shepard, catcher; Bob West, outfield; Trip Reid, infield; Doug Smith, infield; Jim Quackenbush, outfield; and Dave Berry, outfield. Since all nine have had some experience, and some help is expected from the lower grades and a few newcomers, prospects for a successful 1946 season are very good.

Senior Girls ' A. A. The Girls ' Athletic Association, one of the oldest clubs in the school, launched a new and successful year when the organization held its first meeting early last fall. The officers elected for the year at the first meeting were: Helen Bennett, president; Carol Eaton, vice-president; and Peggy Taylor, secretary. A full sports program was started immediately, and hockey was chosen as the fall sport. After practicing throughout the fall months, the College High girls entered the inter-scholastic playday which was held on the C.H.S. field. The policy of holding these playdays was started in 1942, and several other schools in this vicinity participate each year. With the month of December well underway, basketball practice was begun. The Mares scheduled several games with the college as well as taking part in the basketball playday held at Glen Ridge. During the spring season several sports including volleyball, badminton, and bowling were offered for the girls. The present senior class was coached during their first year in the A. A. by Miss Mar- garet Sherwin, who started the interscholastic playday system. In their sophomore year, Miss Margaret Clark superseded Miss Sherwin and last year Mrs. Pratt assumed the posi- tion of faculty adviser. This year the A. A. was again under the leadership of Mrs. Pratt. At her suggestion a committee, headed by Grace Barton, was appointed to write a constitution which was adopted by the Athletic Association. The presentation, in the spring, of awards for all three seasons brought to a close a highly successful year. Junior Girls ' A. A. The Junior Girls ' Athletic Association, under the supervision of Miss Taylor had a very successful year. For the first half of the year, the members of the Junior A. A. elected Helen Marie Kirsinger, of the eighth grade, president; Cynthia Cooper, of the eighth grade, vice-president; and Pixie Ganow, of the eighth grade, secretary. Although the usual custom for the Senior A. A. to entertain the Junior A. A. at a get-together was not continued, much activity was enjoyed by the Junior body. This activity consisted of various games and athletic sports. The most popular games played throughout the year were, Prison Dodgeball, Brothers, Jump the Brook, and Couples. The game Couples, was originated by the present eighth grade girls. When able to play out-of-doors, Softball was played. The games played in Junior A. A. were all selected by the members themselves according to the different seasons. All the activities mentioned played a great part in developing fine sportsmanship and friendship in competiton and a great liking for Junior A. A. sports. This will be an aid to the girls when they enter Senior A. A. For the second part of the year officers were elected. The members of the club cast their votes and Helen Jones was elected president; Beverly Sahlin, vice-president; and Cynthia Wallace, secretary. At the closing assembly period, stars were presented to the girls who attended the Junior A. A. meetings all year. These were awarded for the spirited cooperation and interest shown throughout the year.

Cheerleaders For the first time in many years College High School had a cheering squad which they could count on. to always be on hand and cheer them through, win, lose, or draw. Organized and coached by Pat Doremus, the girls made their first appearance at the last football game of the season. The girls on the squad were: Captain Pat Doremus, Carol Eaton, Pat Durget, Rita Dorfman, and Joan Anderton, seniors; and Joan Ganow, Bette Choate, Louise Ripley, Maureen Pomfret, and Joan Neild, the juniors who will carry on the squad next year. Substitutes from the freshman and junior classes helped by filling in. For visiting day the squad made sandwiches, tea, cake and cookies which they sold to the parents. The profits of this sale went to Mr. Seybold as part payment for the new cheerleaders ' uniforms. The uniforms were to be black jumpers with long-sleeved yellow blouses. The squad planned to have more pep rallies during the last semester to increase school spirit whenever and wherever it was possible. They also planned several cake sales for the student body of the school as a means of raising enough money for the remaining payments on their uniforms. School spirit was given a substantial boost as a result of the fine work of the cheering squad and this work did not go unrewarded. At one of the assemblies during the year the cheerleaders were presented with certificates for letters in recognition of a job well done. It is the sincere hope of the cheerleaders that the entire school will think enough of the squad in the future to keep it going. v Ralph E.
