J. 37 DEDICATION We, the members of the class of 1947, dedicate this year- book to Mr. Harold C. Bohn, one of the faculty at College High, who has become, throughout the years, a part of the school itself. Both as an instructor of senior English and as homeroom adviser, his sincere guidance, dictated by an honest and genuine interest in each mem- ber of the group, and a firm belief in the ideals of Col- lege High School, will have a lasting effect upon every member of each graduating class.

We ' ll never forget Phyl ' s many fads, and we ' re sure that every time we see a person madly chewing gum, eating Delieia candy bars, or engrossed in a copy of Gone With the Wind, our minds will travel back to that vivacious girl with the feather cut who added so much to the class of ' 47. Lest we should give vou the wrong impression about Phyllis, we hasten to add that she has been a long- standing member of the honor roll, and a terrifically hard worker both in her studies and in outside class projects. Vice-President, Secretary, and Student Council Representative of Class; Girls ' A. A.; Chorus; French Club Secretary. BEVERLY BECKER 646 EAST TWENTY-EIGHTH STREET PATERSON ALWAYS rushing through the halls with a hockey stick or a tennis racket, Beverly is without a doubt the girl athe- lete of our class. Entering in our fifth year at College High, she soon became a valuable addition to the class. Not only is Bev president of the Girls ' A. A., but she is also a loyal supporter of school activities, and always can be seen at sports contests with either a pencil or a scorebook in hand. Besides these ex- tra-curricular activities, Beverly can ever be counted upon to enliven a class dis- cussion, as we discovered in P. A. D. Bev is also one of the members of our class who participated in the Life Camp experiment last summer. Girls ' A. A. President : Chorus; French Club; Crier Assistant. IlAYMOxAII C ASSEL 9 EKWIN I ' LACE CALDWELL ONE of the hardest vorkers in our class, Ray is constantly either in the Hhrary studying for a test, or else worrying about a test which he has just taken. We ' ll never for ;et the many times Rav has dashed madlv into class at the last minute, libeling the Public Service at the top of his lungs. Ray has also kept us in stitches over his violent dislike of the Irish, Russians, and Demo- crats. ' W e are sure that if Rav attacks evervthing in life with the same persis- tence which he has shown at his school work, he will go far in the world. Chorus: Dramatic Club. BETTE IHOATE 715 HIGHLA ' D AVENUE NEWARK ALL good things come in small pack- ages, and B. J. is no exception. Al- though she didn ' t enter College High until her freshman vear, Bette soon had the class buzzing with talk of Gary Cooper, Maurice Evans, an i the Brook- lyn Dodgers. Some of the other char- acteristics which endear B. J. to us are her various shades of dark hair, and her booming tenor in the chorus. Bette has always wanted to be an actress, and from the emotion which she displays at our games, we think that she will be very successful. Combinetl with all this school spirit and her wonderful sense of humor, Bette still manages to be on the honor roll at everv marking period.

JAINE AiNNE FLANDERS 916 LAKE STREET NEWARK IIJ ITH the unbeatable combination of I dark, curly hair and big brown eyes, Jane Anne is certainly one of the most popular girls in the class. First in the class to get her driying license, her car, Lena, has been the source of manv a class joke, all of which Jane Anne has weathered with her wonderful sense of humor. She can usually be seen on the day when the Crier goes to press, dash- ing madly about in search of the hi-lites which she says dominate her life from one issue to the next, but we ' re sure that Jane Anne does get a free minute once in a while, for her popularity demands some leisure time. Class Secretary: Crier Associate: Chor- us; French Club: Dramatic Club. JOAN GA] OW 19 CEDARS ROAD CALDWELL COMBINE beauty, brains, and person- ality, and the obvious outcome is Neesie. Her prowess at math has been a continual source of amazement to both the masculine and feminine element of our class, to say nothing of the teachers. This wouldn ' t be quite so amazing, were not Joan equally as capable in her other studies. Neesie can always be counted on to provide shelter for anyone who can ' t get home after a date. Tall, statu- esque Joan is one of our best cheerlead- ers too, and her unobtrusive manner has won her many life-long friends at Col- lege High.

As editor of both the Crier and the yearbook, and as one of the most valuable players on the football and basketball teams, John has always dis- plaved superior ability. To participate in this expanded program, besides being an honor student and attending all of College High ' s social affairs, is certainly lough work, but John seems to manage with ease. John is famous for his droll sense of humor, and his loud ties and socks are notorious.

WALTEIC nriNZIKER :{n9 EAST FORTIETH STREET I ' ATERSON WAY up there in the ranks of school leaders is Skip. Running the gamut from a top honor student to an outstand- ing athelete. Skip seems to be at home in everything he attempts. Many a time have we sat in the Crier office and list- ened to Skip tell a joke for the ump- teenth time. Walt is one of our most conscientious workers, one who will al- ways do a job well, as can be seen by his work as assistant editor on both the Crier and the yearbook. e can ' t con- ceive, with his wonderful combination of perserverance and intelligence, ho v Skip can help be anything but a success. President and Student Council Repre- sentative of Class; Football; Basketball: Crier Associate; Yearbook Associate; Chorus; French Club. THEODORE LOBSEIVZ 11 WEST PARKWAY CLIFTON IN the middle of any class argiimeni you will undoubtedly find Teddv fight- ing dauntlessly for his point. Right or wrong, and he ' s more often right, Ted is our class debater. An honor student in every subject, Ted ' s proficiency in math and the sciences has long been the envy of ali who struggle through these courses. Ted has added his scholastic achievements to a fine record on both the basketball and football teams to equal an all-around fellow. Photography is Ted ' s chief hobby, and his many amusing pictures of the class have often entertained us. Persistence is not the least of Ted ' s virtues, and everything he attempts is done thoroughly. Football; Crier Associate: Yearbook Associate; Chorus; French Club; Class President. JOYCE MACFARLAiVE 18 THE FAIRWAY MONTCLAIR WITH a new creation eacK day ( al- ways of the latest style), Mac is definitely one of the best-dressed of our senior class. Her vitty comments have helped keep more than one class dis- cussion going, and her bubbling person- ality has been a decided asset to all of us. Joyce entered College High in the tenth grade, and only no v can we ap- preciate the gap that existed before she came, a gap which she has filled so well. Whenever an advertising committee is needed, you may count on Joyce ' s name being near the top of the list, owing to her creative and artistic ability. Mac has made manv friends here, and we re sure that she won t be forgotten soon. Girls ' A. A.; Chorus; French Club Trea- surer. JOAN i EIL 16 BEECHWOOD DRIVE PACKANACK LAKE PERT and petite is Joan, an all-around girl. With an unequalled sense of humor, a flair for attractive clothes, and a hearty set of vocal chords, it ' s not hard to explain Joan ' s tremendous popularity. Besides these attributes, it might be added that she is an excellent dancer, plays a mean piano, and is a fanatical reader, gobbling up every book hot off the presses. At spinning a yarn Joan knows no rival, and the relating of her most recent adventure is always looked forward to by her classmates. President, Secretary, and Treasurer of Class; Cheerleader; Girls ' A. A. Vice- President; Crier Associate; Yearbook Associate; Chorus; Orchestra: Dramatic Club. JOHN PIKE 221 MONTCLAIR AVENUE MONTCLAIR JOHN is one of those people who hap- pens along all too infrequently, a jack of all trades, and their master also. An A student in every subject since he entered C. H. S. in the ninth grade, John is nevertheless a regular fellow and one of the school ' s staunchest backers. John has a wonderful sense of humor, and with the jokes that he takes about his tuba, his ponderous brief case, and his black lunchbox, he needs everv bit of it. One of the school ' s outstanding leaders now, we are positive that soon John will be an important personality in the world at large. Class President; Business Manager of Yearbook; Chorus; Orchestra; Crier As- sistant. MAUREEN POMFRET 49 CHESTNUT DRIVE PACKANACK LAKE OUR financial wizard, Maureen could, we are sure, squeeze money from a stone, if it were for the good of the class. Muscles, a name which she has long been trying to live down, is the perfect ex- ample of the neat, attractive, and well- dressed high school senior. One of the smoothest dancers we have ever encoun- tered, Maureen is also the mainstay of the cheerleading squad, as witnessed by the fact that she was elected as this year ' s captain. Maureen is often con- fused with her Packanack Lake pal, Joan Neild, and the two of them can usually be seen running to the Erie station at the last minute to catch their train. Class Treasurer; Captain of Cheerlead- ers: Girls ' A. A.; Chorus; Dramatic Club; Crier Assistant. JAMES QlACKERiBlSH 397 EAST FORTIETH STREET PATERSON HIGH in school esteem anywhere in the United States is the handsome athletic hero, and so in C. H. S. there is Jim. Captain, star, and high scorer of the football team, Jim is also a brilliant performer on the basketball floor and baseball diamond. With untrained wavy hair, a band-aid on his face, and garbed in his team sweater, Jim seems irresista- ble to the fairer sex. But brawn and no brain doesn ' t apply in Jim ' s case. He ' s a hard worker, and hopes someday to become a doctor. As co-sports editor of the Crier, Jim ' s work has been com- mendable, and whenever a party is given, you may be sure that h e will be there to liven things up. Class Secretary; Football Captain; Bas- ketball; Baseball; Crier Associate; Chorus. wl TUOIIBUIIIV IIElll 174 INWOOD AVENUE MONTCLAIR EVERYONE knows that you have to he mighty popiHar to be elected president of the student council or cap- tain of an athletic team, hut when a person is chosen for both positions, as in Trip ' s case, it ' s downright phenom- enal. Tall, lanky, and with a fascinat- ing crew cut. Trip has displayed amaz- ing ability in school work and on all the teams. He is a rabid sports enthusi- ast, and his work as co-sports editor on the Crier has added new drive to the back page. Popularity plus intelligence plus ambition equals success equals Trip.

LOUISE RIPLEY 9 HIGHMONT TERRACE MONTCLAIR IF you were to walk down a main street in Podunk, Michigan, you would un- doubtedly bump into someone who knows Louise. The girl is really that popular. Nevertheless, Weesie still manages to devote a goo l deal of her extra time to working for the class and supporting the teams. Louise is the cornerstone of the alto section in the chorus, and she is one of the better dancers in the class. Always full of pep, Weesie constantly sells more tickets to school affairs than anyone else in the class, and her marvelous sense of humor bolsters the class morale in such a wav that we are never depressed when Louise is nearby. Student Council Representative; Cheer- leader; Girls ' A. A.; Chorus; French Club President. DOLGLAS SMITH 34 ATLANTIC AVENUE OCEAN GROVE SOMETIMES being short in stature hampers a boy athletically, but the exception that proves the rule in this case certainly seems to be Doug. Adept at any sport, he has consistently been honored with athletic awards for most of his high school years, and his collec- tion of M ' s must be enormous by this time. Doug is one of those unfortunate people who is always being injured, so whenever he carries the ball, a hush immediately falls over the spectators. Doug has the great distinction of hailing from Bean Town, and he deservedly claims possession of wonderful taste in clothes, not to mention an envied wavy pompadour. Student Council President: Class Secre- tary; Football; Basketball; Baseball; Chorus. BETTY VANDER SCHAAF 42 CHAYTOR STREET CLIFTON THE most courageous girl in College High ' s class of ' 47, Betty has defi- nitely proven her daring by being the only member of the fair sex to brave both senior math and physics. To look at this tall, platinum blonde, one would never suspect that under those good looks is a scientific mind. Betty has been, in addition to these scholastic achievements, a loyal supporter of the Girls ' A. A. since she entered the class in the ninth grade, and she has excelled in all sports. We might also add that Betty is a wonderful dresser, and that she is always on hand to make every school activity a success. Girls ' A. A.; Chorus; Class Secretary. 93 VALLEY ROAD CLIl ' TON WHENEVER you hear a group of boys laugliiug at the top of their voices in the hall or the ( .rier office, you may be sure that Floyd is right in the middle of the crowd, for he is definitely the class clown and practical joker. All our worries are forgotten when Chickie is around, for his stories of Bean Town, his gas station, and the Clifton gang have kept the dullest moments alive. His contributions to classes have forced even the teachers to laugh, but Floyd, with his vividly-colored shirts and easv- to-manage wave, takes it all in his stride. Just as he has made our six years at College High more interesting, so will Floyd enliven the surroundings wher- ever he goes. French Chorus. Club; Class Vice-President: C AllOL WEDIM 323 EAST THIRTIETH STREET PATERSON HALF-CLOSED lids with long, curly lashes over big China-blue eyes, naturally wavy brown hair, a sense of humor that everyone envies, and an in- fectious giggle; this could only add up to one person, Carol. One of the few Paterson commuters left in the flock. Carol is an efficient rewrite editor for tlie Crier, a peppv cheerleader, and a loyal supporter of all the teams. Carol seems to be inseparable from her two chums, Maureen and Joan Neild, and the three of them, in their black coats with collars turned up, constitute a tri- ple threat to American manhood. Cheerleader; Girls ' A. A. Secretary: Crier Associate; Chorus; French Club; Dramatic Club. DIANE WETTYEBf 510 BLOOMFIELD AVENUE CALDWELL IF anything is ever needed for a class dance, you can always find Diane rushing down for a 60 bus in order to get the desired article. And she suc- ceeds! Quiet and ever neat, Di often surprises us with those shy, witty com- ments that seem to come forth at the most unexpected times. Diane can regu- larly be seen after school engaged in her favorite extra - curicular activity, black and wliite sodas at Wittrock ' s. Be- ing one of the original class who entered in the seventh grade, Di has for six years enlivened the class, and she has won many friends during this time. Class Secretary; Girls ' A. A.: Crier As- sociate; Chorus; French Club. JOAX WHITE 607 EAST TWENTY-EIGHTH STREET PATERSON QUIET and shy, Joan has always shown a wonderful willingness to help in any task, and so has made for herself a high place in the class. Wliitie, a name bestowed on her in the seventh grade, is always neat, well-dressed, and one of the most capable of our girls. Her fond- ness for animals, dogs in particular, and her well-known fads for up-to-date clothes, music, and actors have endeared Joan to us all. Whitie is another of the Paterson crowd, and Weida ' s is her pet diversion after school. A diligent, pre- cise worker, Joan ' s projects for school have always been envied for their neat- ness, originality, and the wealth of in- formation included in them. Crier Associate; Girls ' A. A.; French Club. Chorus: llOBEItT WILKliWS VC ATERVILLE KOAI) FARMINGTON, CONNECTICUT SHOULD one be popular with the en- tire class, active scholastically and socially, well-dressed, good-looking, and have some special talent such as draw- ing the caricatures and posters which make every class dance a success, not to mention being the proud possessor of a mellow baritone voice and a love for singing, topped off by having a reputa- tion as the best dancer in the class, he is very likelv to be chosen senior class president. This was true in Bob ' s case. We often wonder what we did before Bob entered College High in the ninth grade, but whatever we missed he has certainly made up to us. President, Vice-President, and Secretary of Class: Crier Associate: Yearbook As- sociate: Chorus: Dramatic Club. IIOBEKT WILLETT 4 RYERSON AVENUE PATERSON MIX a natural interest for sciences with a flare for modern political issues, add a dash of corny humor, and the outcome is Bob. Answering most often to the name Big Bub, Bob always amazes us with his occasionally curly hair and his wild selection of bow ties. His interesting contributions to classes have long been a source of much infor- mation to us, and we are sure that he could convince anyone of a point he wished to put across. Another of the Paterson crowd. Bob hails from the To- towa section, and he can be depended upon to attend any class parties or school functions. Bob has certainly made our days at College High more bearable, and we won ' t soon forget him. Yearbook Associate; Chorus. CLASS 1941 LEADING HISTORIANS, EDLCATORS, AND PSYCHIATRISTS claim that an explanation can be given concerning a person, place, or thing only after a careful study of its past his- tory has been made. It is for tliis reason that we, the class of ' 47, do endeavor to explain how we got the way we are, relating our case history. Small but eager were we in September.1941, when the class of 1947 met as a group for the first time, with the purpose of beginning high school education in the true Col- lege High fashion. We had the somewhat questionable honor of being the last class to submit to the good-natured hazing of the eighth grade, which aided in establishing a short-lived period of timidity and shyness, the usual symptoms of a seventh grader. Soon, however, we recovered from our initial experiences, and subsequently took on the job of being good students and having good times, a delightful combination. Neither work nor fun could have been accomplished without the assistance of Mrs. inchester, our homeroom adviser. Several class parties were given, and a climax was reached at Christmas time, when we presented The Littlest Shepherd, a play, for our mothers. After the plav we had a party in the library, and our proud mothers were presented with original poems which we had illustrated during our art classes. Field trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History aided in our study of social studies. An appropriate ending to our first year at C. H. S. was provided by Mrs. Reid, who invited us to spend an entire day at Lake alhalla. Before we, the very wise and mighty eighth graders, had passed many months in that grade, parents and students alike had worked their fingers to the bone constructing minature svmphonv orchestras for our course in music appreciation. An excursion to a professional hockev game, between the New York Rangers and the Boston Bruins, was the first professional hockey experience for most of us. Under the guidance of Dr. Folsom, every eighth grader wrote a complete biography of Napoleon Bonaparte: each book was indeed, a masterpiece. A tour to Paterson to see a moving picture, The Yormg Mr. Pitt, another to the Montclair Museum to see a Russian musical exhibit, and a trip to New York with our art teacher, Mr. Karp, to see Walt Disney ' s Saludos Amigos and to visit the Museum of Modern Art were among the numerous field trips which we embarked upon that year. And then — we were high school freshmen. That year we had the opportunity to take Western Culture, a combined course of English and social studies, and all of us took part in the first Pan-American football quiz. Dividing ourselves into two teams, the Pan-American Panthers and the Fighting Phantom Gauclios, the battle of wits was on. The struggle lasted three davs, and when the final gun was sounded and the scores were tallied, the Panthers emerged victorious, seven to six. In celebration of the new year, 1943, the class was invited to a New ear ' s Eve party at the home of Billie Wollen. HIS T t II 1947 During!: our freshman year, the class displayed its dramatic ability by presenting several types of creatiye plays, inclndinn; Norman Corwin ' s The Plot to Overthrow Christmas and China Had a Washington, both directed by Dr. Fulcomer. A small riot of a play, entitled Father Take Your Stocking Down, The Christmas Tree Is Dying, was our first sophomore production. The play, a take-off on faculty and students, almost put us out of the good graces (whi ch we weren ' t in anyway) of our teachers. The complete script was written and enacted by ourselves. Ordering our class rings played an important part in our lives that year, and we also took over main- tenance of the C. H. S. War Service Honor Roll, started by the class of ' 46. This was the year that a great many of the boys in the class tried out for the various ath- letic teams at school, slowly starting the climb to varsity recognition. In March we presented our first dance, The Spring Whirl, a huge success. Closing up school was celebrated by a swimming party in New York ' s Hotel Shelton. From the very start of our junior year, school activities were more prominent than ever before. The French students revived La Cercle Francais, the C. H. S. French Club, and adopted little Marie Loviise, a French child. During our extensive English study of Shakespeare, the class saw Maurice Evans in Hamlet. We also examined the New ork Herald Tribune plant, in connection with our study of newspapers. Be- ing an ambitious class, we presented two dances, The Fall Finale and The College Hi-Ball, the latter dance being decorated not unlike a Salvador Dali painting. January brought forth the time when we took over the Crier, and the coveted Crier office became our den of creative endeavor. As a final gesture of good will towards the class of ' 46, we took said class to the Orange Mountain Reservation for the annual junior-senior picnic. When we walked up the hill to school in the autumn of 1946, every member of the class of ' 47 had a certain air of well-earned satisfaction about him. After five years we were the seniors of College High. Before long, however, none of us had time to think of this, as we were deluged with work, f un, and the business of being seniors. The first big event in our social calendar was Ye Olde Pumpkin Fling, a combination square dance and carnival, attended by the largest crowd in C. H. S. history. Trips to New ork were frequent during the year, including theatre parties to see Henry V, Henry VIII, and Cyrano de Bergarac. Class parties, too, were more frequent than iu any previous year. But before we had time to realize it, the year was gone. The year- book had been compiled, and the Crier had been turned over to the juniors. In the spring the senior bridge was presented, and then, as our final bid for glory, we pre- sented the senior play, a decided njasterpiece. At last, to the dismay of everyone, we graduated. And so, exit the Best Class To Ever Attend College High, and may all fu- ture classes have as full and interesting a career. iJf£fT ' ' . ll OPEN UP THEM JUDGEMENT DAY has arrived. Upstairs. Saint Peter is a busy man these days, for he spends many long hours each day tabulating accom- phshments, checking personalities, and signing slips of admission or rejection. Perhaps vou would care to hear a page from Saint Peters lit- tle black book. Then listen closelv as Saint Peter checks the list for mistakes, while Timo- thy, Saint Peters faithful helper, can be heard reading off the names. Boss, this is College High ' s class of 1947. Xo member ever became president, but thev all certainly led interesting lives. Now take Phvllis Adolf, for instance. Phyllis read ' Gone ' ith The Wind ' so many times that before she fin- ished college she had to write a sequel, and her book, ' Watch Out, George, Here It Comes Again, ' made her famous for life. And here ' s Ray Cassel, who was head of the complaint department at Macy ' s. His experi- ences would have made at least three best sellers. In fact, his expository essay, ' Marks Aren ' t Neces- sary, ' was the leading juvenile piece of the dav. Look at Beverly Becker, too. As president of the United Women ' s Hockey and Basketball League of the World, she united all women un- der the sign of the hockey stick and Softball. Her fame will never die if the fair sex has any- thing to say. And it usually does. If anybody deserves admittance it ' s Bette Choate. She became the first woman umpire in organized baseball. Poor Bette was killed at 37 when a Dodger fan threw a bottle at the oppos- ing pitcher and hit her by mistake. A sad but courageous way to go. Perhaps you ' ve heard of John Geismar. He took over Phil Spitalny ' s orchestra in 1960, and by adding thirty more hot violins made the organization famous all over the world. John became to classical music what Toscanini was to swing, and that ' s no easv thing to accomplish. Listen to this. Jane Anne Flanders started out as a tester in a perfume factory, but at 29 she discovered hair curlers that won ' t pinch, push, or bulge. All you do is glue them on and hope for the best. One of the saddest cases in the class is that of Walter Hunziker. Walt received so many Bov Scout medals that he contracted lead poison- ing, and died a hopeless invalid. But he kept his medals to the end. Six pallbearers suffered strained backs during his funeral. Did vou hear the latest? PEARLY GATES Perhaps the most impressive entry here is that of Joan Ganow, who, because of her out- standing work in trigonometry, was appointed dean of math and sciences at Vassar College when 19. Joan retired sixty-six years hiter only because she could see the figures on the slide rule no longer. You must have heard the name Ted Lob- senz. Ted was the J. C. Calhoun of his day. As senator from New Jersey, he swayed the entire country with his famous forty-nine-day filibuster. He hail intended to speak longer, but he lost his voice and had to retire from office. Next is Joyce Macfarlane, the country ' s greatest social leader. While at the height of her social career she brought fur dresses into style, which subsequently led to the wearing of dyed mouton underwear and ermine bathrobes, quite an innovation. Here is a name that was uttered by mil- lions — James Quackenbush. Jim, America ' s youngest heart specialist, performed science ' s iiiost amazing operation by removing his own heart without the use of ether. To say that this experiment revolutionized the medical world is an understatement. Right here, in bold type, is Maureen Pom- fret, the first woman in America who dared cut her hair shorter than her bangs. To add to this sensation, Maureen created new color shades for her bangs to match every new style that she wore. The story of John Pike is indeed a tragic one. John discovered the first atomic automobile, but in his anxiety to test this marvelous machine, he neglected to discover how to turn the energy off, and so John was forced to race around the world at 1200 miles per hour for sixty successive years. His last quotable words were, ' Whee ' . And then we have Joan Neild, who made her fortune in radio. Her characterization of ' Little Mimi ' on the ' Life Can Be A Stupid Mess ' program endeared Joan to millions of housewives all over the world. Only recently she was awarded the Lifebuoy Prize, presented to radio ' s most washed-out heroine. You couldn ' t have missed Trip Reid. At 25 Trip was a successful engineer, but he left his job to become the bridge wizard of the 1960 ' s, only because his faith in science was shat- tered when the sun rose in the west one morning. His Gin Bridge is now the national game, played bv all but the W. C. T. U. •-G u6 ' Here ' s looking at vc ' Alihlili! ' Carol expounds. But getting back to the female contingent, we find Louise Ripley. Because of her many friends, Louise edited the social register for 196.5, and she did a pretty good job at that. Only trouble is she forgot to include a member of the class of ' 47, and said member promptly strangled her. Louise edited for the fun of it — hers was not a cash register. And we can ' t forget Betty Vander Schaaf either. Betty, as the first woman to head the Chamber of Com- merce, put Clifton on the map through her incessant advertising. When her program was completed, only an uninitiated few still thought ' Bean Town ' meant Boston. Maybe you would like to hear about Doug Smith, who became the fastest long-distance runner in the world. His records from Ocean Grove to Philadelphia have never been equaled by anyone to this day. Well, here is an interesting item. Carol Wedum was the only woman ever appointed to the Supreme Court. Her remarkable judgment and important de- cisions in many controversies gave her a chair in every legal society in the country. It was only towards the end that she needed them. And of course, don ' t overlook Floyd Vollinger. Head of the largest gas station syndicate in the world, Floyd made a fortune in oil and water. He claimed there was a Vollinger Service Station in every city and village in the world, and Vollinger oil and water in 99 9 of the world ' s gas tanks. Although you probably won ' t have heard of her, Diane Wettven did her part for humanity back on earth. Di organized all the baby sitters into one big union, and demanded and received stable wages, shorter hours, and quieter children. Her plea for better laundering failed, however. Another strong bid for fame came from Bob Wil- kins, who became a hat designer for women. He spe- cialized in hats for women with large ears, hats for women with small ears, but especially hats for women with no ears at all. What creations! Perhaps the most stable person on the list is Joan White. After college, Joan got a job as a genie in a magic lamp, but everything rubbed her the wrong way, so she quit this position and became a successful house- wife. An impressive name brings the list to a close. It ' s that of Bob Willett. At the age of 33 Bob discovered the true way to successful friendships, and published a book, ' How To Win Chess and Influence People, ' ex- panding this theory. Bob ' s opinions were coveted wher- ever he was wont to went. Well, Boss, do they pass? Saint Peter glanced at his little friend and replied, That ' s a pretty impressive list of names, Timothy. All seem to have had outstanding careers. Just write ' Class of ' 47 ' on the admission ticket, and ' Best Class To Ever Leave College High. ' That should take care of all of them.

S. for their fifth year, the juniors were kept busy supporting both curricular and extra-curicular activities. At their first homeroom meeting, the juniors began making plans for a dance to be presented in December. The dance, christened The Sno-Ball, was given after the class had worked overtime to overcome the absence of a canopy for the ceiling, and was an immediate hit. Under the supervision of their English teacher. Dr. Russell Krauss, a tour of the Herald Tribune building and a study of the mechanics of journalism was made so that the juniors would be able to undertake the publication of the Crier. On the same day in which the Tribune was visited, the class also attended the Broadway production of Henry , in connection with its study of Shakespeare. Members of the class participated actively in such activities as the chorus and on athletic teams. Yet the juniors showed their versatility by winning honors in their studies too. The class engaged in many varied activities, and climaxed the vear by sponsoring the traditional junior-senior picnic, which capped the busiest year yet spent at College High by the class of 1948. X H AVliNG GRADUATED from the lower hall, the class of ' 49 entered the tenth grade, pre- paring to settle down and start working seriously for college. The class started off the year iiy electing its class officers for the first semester, and then proceeded to take up the matter of class rings. After much discussion, the class finally decided upon a ring offered by Dieges and Clust. Later, as a part of their English course under Mr. Lawrence Conrad, the sopho- mores decided to join the Teen-Age Book Club. Each month the class received an issue of the T. A. B. news, which informed the students of the five pocket book editions avail- able for the next month. As an integral part of the course, committees were appointed to present dramatized reports of the books. After long weeks of hard preparation, the sophomores presented their first dance. Given in March, this dance turned out to be a success financially and socially. Besides these activities, the sophomores still found time for such school activities as orchestra and chorus. And still the impressive list of activities does not end here, for the sophomores have two more vears to fulfill the promise thev have shown to C. H. S. Front row, lefl to right: Sue Lewis.

IX IN THEIR FIRST YEAR as high school students, the ninth graders went ahead to prove their mettle to the remainder of the school. At their first homeroom meeting tliev elected officers, and discussed ways and means to enlarge the class treasury. ith Doug Hawes presiding, they decided to sell candy at all football and basketball games during the course of the 1946-1947 season. The class attended many parties, of which one of the most successful was a skat- ing party at a nearby pond. Besides attending these parties, the class supported the athletic teams and dances by sending a large delegation to each of these school functions. Later on in the year, the class distinguished itself by being one of the first fresh- men classes to give a school dance. The class also gave a highly successful program, in the auditorium, before the student body. The boys made their athletic prowess known by organizing football and basketball teams, which helped take the place of a junior varsity. These teams were a big suc- cess, and proved invaluable in developing future varsity material. All these activities point to a particularly bright future for the freshman class. VIII WITH ONE YEAR OF LIFE at C. H. S. under its belt, the class of ' 51 entered the eighth grade ready to show the school that it had grown up and was able to stand on its own feet. The first class project, a one-act radio play entitled The Odyssey of Runyan Jones, presented to the parents and friends of the eighth grade, was a great success, under the direction of Mr. George Salt. After presenting this play, the class journeyed to New York to see how a real show was produced. Also luider the direction of Mr. Salt, the eighth graders continued to issue their tri-weeklv i)ublication, the Pony Express. J iggs Gardner became editor-in-chief, replac- ing Bobby Karp. An unforgettable Christmas party was given the class by its homeroom adviser, Mr. George Placek. An elaborate Christmas tree was rigged especially for the occasion by Mr. Placek, a tree made entirely of laboratory materials. Later in the year, the class took field trips to Newark Airport and the Planetarium in New York. Despite these many activities, the eighth graders managed to lead the school on the honor roll.

VII AFTER QUIETLY and inauspicioiislv entering the portals of College High, the seventh graders soon showed their spirit by attending the seniors ' fall carnival, Ye Olde Pumpkin Fling, and all the vear ' s sporting events. The class showed itself to be socially roncious by giving several parties during the year. Tlie big party, of course, was the Christmas party, tendered to the mothers in the library, which had been decorated bv the industrious seventh graders, under tlie direction of their homeroom adviser, Mrs. M. C. Winchester. Soon, however, the seventh graders found that all was not play at C. H. S. As a part of their studies, they went on many field trips. The Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Hayden Planetarium in New l ork all were visited, as were the slums of Paterson, the well-planned communitv of Radburn, and the juvenile court at Hackensack. The year was climaxed by the annual spring overnight trip to High Point. As the vear drew to a close, the seventh graders could look for vard to their reniaining years at College High with anticipation, after having completed a highlv successful initial year. • :::V ' ' ■ ■ ' 1 ' •■ mW K I STUDENT COUNCIL I LL THE PROBLEMS that trouble C.H.S. it students are traditionally brought be- fore the student council for settleinent, and this year was no exception. The council contains representatives from each class and a secretary, vice-president and president chosen by the school. Trip Reid, John Geisniar, and Joan Ganow were elected to these offices, re- spectively, and under the guicTance of Mr. Seybold they immediately settled down to work. A fire drill committee was appointed and school assemblies for the year were planned in order to bring a varied and interesting group of pro- grams before the school. The council then passed a plan where- by prizes were given to Crier reporters for outstanding service. This plan was inaugurated bv Jolin Geismar in order to revive the lagging interest of the un- derclassmen, and to give them something for -which to strive. Also planned by the council were the noon hour pro- grams, in which intranuiral basketball and dancing were offered to the students. In the second term elections a new council was elected, consisting of Doug Smith, president : Trip Reid, vice-presi- dent: and Joan Ganow, secretary. This council concluded the ' 46- ' 47 year with the annual baccalaureate and commence- ment plans. FOOTKALL COLLEGE High School ' s six-man foot- ball team concluded a record-smash- ing season last fall when it won five suc- cessive games by one-sided scores. The Ponies were under the guidance of Mike Stanish, who replaced Arthur E. Morr as coach. Stanish molded sev- enteen plavers, including seven letter- men, into an invincible combination. As a result of their undefeated season, the Ponies annexed the Metropolitan Conference championship in the first year of its existence. The Ponies, led by Captain Jim Qviackenbush, defeated all teams in the conference, plus one team not included in the conference. College High opened the season at home with an easy victory over Buxton, 38-0. In their next outing the Ponies visited New York, where they rolled to their second victory, 46-12, beating Mc- Burney on a rain-soaked field. The Ponies returned home the next week and handed Collegiate its first defeat, a .38-0 setback. The team clinched the conference crown the following week when McBur- ney was crushed in a return game, 49-18. The Black and Gold ended the season with a smashing 70-13 rout of Wardlaw. While scoring 241 points, the Ponies broke four team records in the most out- standing season in school historv. BASKETBALL PARTLY DUE to a soft schedule, but mostly due to hard work on the part of the players, and excellent coaching by Mike Stanish, the basketball team of 1947 concluded the season with one of the most outstanding records in the school ' s liistory. The team displayed an erratic brand of ball, playing extremely vell at one moment, and extremely poorly the next. Easy wins were registered over Buxton, Delbarton, Oratory, Wardlaw, and the alumni. Not exactly tough competition, but victories nevertheless. Eastern Academy, Morristown Prep, Stevens Academy, Montclair Academy, and St. John ' s presented a tougher type of op- position, and the Ponies had to play their best ball to defeat any of these schools. The brunt of the Ponies well-balanced attack was divided among Dave Berry, Doug Smith, and Captain Trip Reid. These three, with the able support of the guards, John Geismar, Jim Quacken- bush, and Skip Hunziker, led the Ponies in each game, usually accounting for thirty points between them. With five of the seven regulars depart- ing this June, and only Dave Berry and Dick Yeskel remaining, the team ' s chances to keep up the high athletic standards set by the class of ' 47 are not too bright. BASEBALL f H. S. had a winning baseball team ' for the first time in years during the spring of 1946. The Ponies had nine lettermen return, and under the able guidance of Jerry De Rosa managed to win three games while dropping one, in a season shortened because of the early closing date of the school. The Ponies opened the season by com- ing from behind to defeat Delbarton, 5-3, aided by Canny Clark ' s superlative pitching, in a game played on Spragne Field. The next time out the Ponies de- feated Eastern Academy on the home grounds, 4-2, led by Pete Sloan and Dovig Smith. In a return game with Delbarton at Morristown, the Ponies engaged in a slugging duel, and emerged victorioiis, led by the big bat of Dave Berry. The Ponies ' streak was broken by McBurnev, as Bob Karpas shut out the Ponies with one hit while the College High defense suffered a collapse. The final game of the season was to have been a return game with Eastern Academy, but due to inclement weather and the closing of school, this game was never played. The season ended with a father-and-son dinner for all lettermen, which took place at a local restaurant. ASSORTED SHOTS Hold that pose. Does it hurt much, JiniV Returned alumnus. Surrounded.

ONE of the oldest and most popular organizations at College High, the Girls ' Athletic Association commenced a new and highly successful year when the club held elections at the first meet- ing last autumn. Beverly Becker was elected president, Joan Neild became vice-president, and Carol Wedum be- came secretary. Hockey was chosen as the fall sport, and after practicing during the first months, the A. A. was hostess to an inter- scholastic playday, then entered another playday held at Passaic Valley High School. Following the Thanksgiving vacation, basketball practice began. The girls par- ticipated in another playday, which was held at Glen Ridge. In addition to this playday, the Mares played several games with the college and Passaic Valley High. With the month of March came the spring sports program, directed by Mrs. ' Pratt, the girls ' adviser. A playday was held at Montclair High, at which volley- ball, badminton, and table tennis were played. Later in the season the girls traveled to Caldwell to participate in a baseball playday. The presentation of awards at the final assembly late in the vear brought to a close another satisfying year, which included a varied sports program and an interesting schedule of contests for all members. CHEERLEADERS COLLEGE High ' s ten cheerleaders could always be depended upon to support our teams on any occasion dur- ing the 1946-1947 season. Coached hy their captain-elect, Maureen Pomfret, the squad perfected the cheers handed down from last year ' s group, and new cheers and novel formations were in- troduced to instill spirit in the hearts of all C. H. S. undergraduates. The squad, composed of six seniors and four juniors, initiated the football season with a pep rally which was held in the gymnasium. These pep rallies became conimon before each big game, and helped to boost the teams morale to the highest possible point. Whether a contest was well attended or not, the team was always sure of at least the loyal rooters in black jumpers and long-sleeved yellow blouses on the sidelines. Win, lose, or draw, their lusty cheers of encouragement could be heard from start to finish of any game. As a result of the fine work of the cheering squad, school and team spirit were given a considerable boost. The cheerleaders ' eflforts were rewarded at the annual award assembly, held play- day, when they were presented with let- ters in recognition of their efforts. FRENCH CLFB LAST September the largest French Chib that College High has had in several years held its first meeting, and under the direction of Madam Cressey, elected John Geismar, Phyllis Adolf, and Joyce Macfarlane president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Meetings were planned by committees chosen for this purpose. At some gath- erings the singing of French songs was interspersed with French games such as Qui Suis-je?, Bingo, and Je Mets Dans Ma Malle. At other meetings the club listened to classics such as Carmen, Lakme, and a number of selections by Debussy. One of the greatest successes of the season was the crepe suzettes party. Each member brought a frying pan, and under the expert direction of Madame Cressey, all became excellent chefs. Another highlight of the busy season was a trip to New York to see Rostand ' s Cyrano de Bergerac. The evening spent at the theatre was preceded by dinner in a French restaurant. The year ended when the club had its French dinner in the library. Every- one shared in the work throughout the year, and the result was one of the most successful and enjoyable years the club has ever enjoyed. THE CRIER ]|[ OT unlike criers of colonial times, the ii College High Crier comes around about once every three weeks, proclaim- ing the news of school dances, plays, as- semblies, P. T. A. meetings, sports events, and other timely topics of interest to the student body. Because the cost of publication has risen steadily, no six-page issue was printed, but in its place a policy involv- ing a more frequent use of pictures was adopted for the issues that did appear. The seniors turned the Crier over to the juniors at mid-year as John Geismar, former editor-in-chief, became adviser. and Bill Yskamp took over the reins of the publication. With the change came a cut in the nmnber of editors on the staff from thirteen to below ten. It was hoped that this change would make the job of publishing the Crier a less com- plex one. In another attempt at better efficiency, awards were presented to reporters for the first time. Members of the repor- torial staff were graded on writing skill, deadlines met, and general interest. It is hoped that the awards will create more of an incentive for lower classmen to write for the paper. CHORDS AND ORCHESTRA BOTH the chorus and orchestra were placed under the able direction of Mr. Ward Moore as the 1946-1947 school year commenced. Mr. Moore came to College High after directing the orches- tra at the University of Nebraska and serving in the army, both here and abroad, in a musical capacity. He re- placed Mr. Edwin Cobb, who directed the orchestra and chorus throughout the previous year. This year Mr. Moore received the Avholehearted cooperation of the student body in forming these groups, and they have become two of the most proficient organizations in the school. The chorus gave its first performance during the Thanksgiving assembly pro- gram by singing three selections. Be- fore Christmas the group presented a number of songs in the assembly, in some of which the entire school partici- pated. The auditorium was decorated by the chorus for this assembly, and be- cause of the great success the perform- ance enjoyed, an annual presentation of this kind will probably become tradi- tion. Although the orchestra was not sup- ported as well as the chorus, Mr. Moore did an excellent job with the members who did report. They appeared at sev- eral assemblies and Parent - Teacher meetings, and ended the season with the commencement exercises in June. il CLOSIXft ... I ' ackanac-k projjrcsscs. And this is an oil well.
