BARBARA LOU BAKER Barbara Lou 42 CAROLYN ROAD UPPER MONTCLAIR Class Vice-President (10. 12); Class Treas- urer (9); Class Student Council Representa- tive (7, 12); Cheerleader (11); Crier Associ- ate Editor (11-12); Girls ' A. A. (7, 8, 9, 10, 11), Vice-President (12). With the air of a shy little girl who has lost her wa) ' , Barbara Lou has always had to dis- courage offers of masculine assistance. Her chnging vine appeal, however, is deceptive, for this cute colleen has her own very definite ideas on almost e ' ery subject. From those of us lucky enough to ha ' e known her for these six 3 ' ears at C. H. S. comes a hearty wish for the success and happiness she so richly deserves. BARBARA RUTH BALLOU •Babby 102 LESSING ROAD WEST ORANCE Class Student Council Representative (12); Girls ' A. A. (9, 10, 11, 12), Secretary (12); Dramatic Club (9), Vice-President (12); Crier Associate Editor (11-12); Chorus (11, 12). Hilarity reigns when Babby ' s around, for her laughter and consistent good humor defrost even the most reserved among us. A little bundle of ' im, vigor, and vitality, Barbara brims o ' er with school spirit, as her presence at all our games and her many activities have shown. Babby can speak authoritatively on a variety of sub- jects, of both local and international interest, to which she brings a light touch and refreshing viewpoint characteristically her own. iX EDSON L. BARLOW, JR. Ed 74 BELLEVUE AVENUE UPPER iMONTCLAIR Class President (10); Class Vice-President (10); Class Treasurer (11, 12). Ed, our class treasurer par excellence, is known for his hcart ' guffaws and his hobby of collecting unusual pipes. An excellent student, he also holds his o ' n in any debate in which he will persist until he makes his point. When it comes to matters mathematical and scientific, though, Ed is reallv in there pitching. We know he ' ll reflect glory on C. H. S. when he ' s out in front at R. P. I. ERVIN F. BARTEL, JR. Erv 136 SQUIRE HILL ROAD UPPER MONTCLAIR Chorus (12); Orchestra (12); Baseball Squad (11); Radio Glut (10); Class President (12). Quiet in temperament, Erv has shown a per- sistent and untiring ability to work, and is al- ways ready to handle the more difficult class projects. It ' s always been a pleasant and familiar sight to see Erv pumping up to school each morning on his little red bicycle, recently dis- carded in favor of the family car. Erv takes his studies seriously and does well by them all, especially science and math. DAVID GEORGE CHRISTIE ' Dave 122 ' ILD ' ooD avenue UPPER MONTCLAIR French Club Treasurer (U); Yearbook Asso- ciate Editor (12); Crier Assistant (11-12); Chorus (11, 12). Dave ' s activities show him to be musical, lit- erarv, and hnguistic, but we will remember him also for his good looks, sartorial elegance, and amiable disposition. (And he moves on the dance floor v uth the greatest of ease.) More- o ' er, at the most unexpected moment, this lad comes up with a pun that rocks the class, further e idence of his keen mind and sense of humor. PHYLLIS C. DLIRGET Phyl 246 PACIFIC STREET PATERSON Class President (9): Class Vice-President (12); Class Student Council Representative (10); Yearbook Associate Editor (12); Crier Associate Editor (11-12); Girls ' A. A. (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12); Chorus (12); Cheerleader (12). Phyllis, petite damsel from down Paterson way, has graced these halls ever since the sev- enth grade. Her flair for news and the quality of her humor won her the position of feature editor of the Crier, a post ' hich she filled with distinction. Incidentallv, our popular Phvl was the first to embrace the New Look— which en- hances the quality of demureness that is espe- cially hers. 10 WILLIAM G. FAY ••Will 537 HIGHLAND AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR Class Vice-President (10); Class Secretary (10); Football Squad (10, 11, 12); Chorus (12). If it ' s mischief you ' re looking for, his name is Bill Fay. Full of fun, with a real zest for liv- ing. Bill can alwavs be found in the thick of some prank. His reddish blond crop of hair, topping a boyish face that will probably never age, fits his spirited personality. He can usually be seen dri ' ing his car, packed to capacity with fearless passengers, at a sensible speed. ARiMEN G. FISHER ' ' Armen 294 NORTH MOUNTAIN AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR Chorus (12). Here is a man short on words but long on brain power. We have, accordingly, learned to listen carefully to what Armen has to say on these rare occasions, for he aKvays gives sound ad ' ice whether it concerns politics or more in- consequential matters. We shall always recall with our original admiration the Armensque Method ' ' of arriving at the correct mathematical solution by an involved and unusual procedure. ALICE MARGARET FLANDERS ••Peggy 916 LAKE STREET NEWARK Class Secretary (11); Crier Associate Editor (11-12); Girls ' A. A. (7, 8, 11, 12); French Club (11, 12); Chorus (9, 11, 12); Dramatic Club (7, 12). ' •Sweet as apple honey is an apt phrase, as far as it goes, to apply to brown-haired Peggv. But this orderly ' s-oung miss has a far wider range of capabilities. An excellent student, Peggy ap- proaches each task with determination and per- forms it with efficiency, to which her proof and copy work on the Crier will attest. Also, despite her aried list of extra-curricular acti ities, Peggv makes the Honor Roll regularly. LAWRENCE TURNER FRIEND Larry 18 COLONY DRI ' E EAST ' EST ORANGE Class President (12); Editor-in-Chief of Year- book (12); Crier Associate Editor (11-12); Varsity Baseball (if, 12); Varsity Basketball Squad (12); Orchestra (10); French Club (11). The Man of ' 48 ' we think most likely to succeed is none other than Larry, known to his intimate friends as Larr-Larr. His A record, editorship of La Campanilla and the Crier sports page, along with his athletic actiyities, all testify to his varied capabilities. In addition to a well-groomed appearance, Larr ' also possesses a perseverance and a sense of responsibility that arouses the admiration of us all. 12 JOAN E. GEWECKE Gooie 35 BERKELEY AVENUE NE A ARK Class Vice-President (11); Class Secretary (12); Class Treasurer (9); French Club (11), Secretary ' (12); Girls ' A. A. (12); Cheerleader (11, 12); Dramatic Club (12); Chorus (9, 11, 12); Class Student Council Representative (12). Commuting from Newark to iXIontclair via the trusty 60 bus hasn ' t dampened Gooie ' s high spirits, nor dimmed her sunny smile, which, in- cidentally, has often helped to pierce the fog of many an exam. Joan ' s natural e.xuberance and her lustv E-vah-team-rah ' that reached the ears of even the deafest hnesman were great morale builders at our football games. In short, blue- eved Gooie ' ' has been a welcome addition to our class. GEORGE W. GILBERT George 16 MYRTLE AVENUE CALDWELL Chorus (12). Although he entered College High in the ele enth grade in his characteristically unob- trusive manner, George has since shown a great willingness to cooperate in all class affairs. Nor does his shy manner hide his innate politeness. Moreo ' er, George is always being kidded about his vi id sweaters, but refuses to let anything ruffle his natural good humor. George is inter- ested in sports writing or ad ' ertising as a future vocation. 13 LINDA E. GUMP Lind 635 GROVE STREET UPPER MONTCLAIR Class President (8); Class Vice-President (7, 10); Class Student Council Representative (9); French Clut (11), President (12); Girls ' A. A. (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12); Yearbook Associate Editor (12); Crier Associate Editor (11-12); Chorus (11, 12); Dramatic Club (12); Student Council Secretar) ' (12). Super-plus is the best way to describe Linda, who has been endowed with that much sought- for combination— beauty and brains. Equally at home in the intricacies of senior math and on the dance floor, Linda can di- ' ert the thoughts of the most confirmed woman-hater from school problems into more romantic channels. Linda ' s sparkling personality, together with her natural- ness and good sense, assure her continued popu- larity and success. IRENE E. HABERNICKEL Irene 461 EAST FORTIETH STREET PATERSON Class Secretary ' (7); French Club (12), Presi- dent (11); Chorus (12); Girls ' A. A. (7, 8, 9, 10); Yearbook Associate Editor (12); Rid- ing Club (7, 12): Crier Assistant (11-12); Dramatic Club (7). A blonde, gav damsel who claims her heart belongs to Bobby (her equine pal), Irene ' s inter- ests range from the intricacies of languages to the fine points of horsemanship. Irene has justly earned the title of class equestrian for the many blue ribbons she has won at horse shows. Per- haps she cajoles the judges, as she does us, with her fluent French and dulcet tones. J-.: -ijm . 14 NORMA L. HAUPT Norm 448 UPPER MOUNTAIN AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR Class Secretary (9, 12); Class Treasurer (10); Class Student Council Representative (8); Chorus (9. 11, 12); Girls ' A. A. (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12); Cheerleader (11, 12); French Club (11, 12); Crier Associate Editor (11-12); Advertising Manager of Yearbook (12); Rid- ing Club (7). A small-sized- dvnamo of energy and spunk— that ' s Norma, who has constantly entertained us with her quick retorts and amusing com- ments. Incidentally, Norma was one of the two girls with courage enough to brave senior math. The latter, however, is but one of her talents- she both am;tzes and amuses us with her opinions on all teen-age problems. Also, our thanks go to Norma for the enterprising manner in which she has handled our yearbook ad ' ertising. VIRGINA L. HOAGLAND Ginny 14 BROOKFIELD ROAD UPPER MONTCLAIR Girls ' A. A. (10); Chorus (12). Platinum-blonde Ginny lends an air of so- phistication to our class, and her suave velvety- toned voice has taken away the dullness of many a routine class report. Ginny is an avid reader, and turns in huge monthly book lists to our envy and amazement. She also has a flair for art, and whenever the occasion arises, generously comes to our aid with posters and such. 15 WILLIAM H. LANE Bill 126 ESSEX AVENUE MONTCLAIR Class President (8); Class Treasurer (9, 10); Business Manager of Yearbook (12); Radio Club (10). Another top man in intellect, Bill can tell vou the square of the hypotenuse while most of us are still fumbling with our answer books. With a mathematical rnind that could outwit Py- thagoras himself. Bill has, without exception, been an honor student throughout his six years at C. H. S. He expects to enter the engineering field— a profession for which he is eminently fitted. J. PATRICK LYNCH Pat 366 EAST THIRTY-FIRST STREET PATERSON Student Council President (12); Class Presi- dent (11); Varsity Football (10, 11, 12); Varsity Basketball Squad (11), Co-captain (12); Varsity Baseball (10, 11, 12); Chorus (11, 12). A varsity man in all three sports and President of the Student Council make quite a combina- tion. But Pat, with a continuous twinkle in his eye, tempers it all v dth his rollicking Irish wit. His cheerfulness and generosity have en- deared him to all his classmates. Calm and un- ruffled on the field and court, he plays a con- sistent and determined game. Pat ' s departure from College High will certainly lea ' e a gap that will be hard to fill. 16 WILLIAM H. NAGEL Bill 24 NASSAU ROAD UPPER MONTCLAIR Class President (8); Class Vice-President (9); Class Secretary ' (7); Class Student Coun- cil Representative (10); Orchestra (7, 8); Chorus (11, 12); Varsity Football (11, 12); Yearbook Associate Editor (12); Crier Associ- ate Editor (11-12); Class Treasurer (12). Bill ' s masculine charm has kept feminine hearts fluttering ever since the seventh grade. With this Hollywood appeal, hov ' ever. Bill com- bines a capacity for participation and hard work in e ' ery phase of school endeavor— class, club, music, and athletics. Besides his jobs on t he Crier and La Campanilla, Bill has held a class office each year. All this, and football, too— for he ' s the fastest man on our team. BARBARA JOAN PALMA Bobbie 116 SEVENTEENTH AVENUE PATERSON Class Secretary (10); Chorus (12); Girls ' A. A. (8), Riding Club (12). With her familiar Have you heard this one? , Bobbie has breezed through school constantly shedding welcome humor on our sometimes weary paths. Barbara also keeps us au courant with the latest swing records and other teen-age subjects on which we all consider her an au- thority. With her attractive personality and well-poised manner, Bobbie will be a success in whatever she attempts. 17 ADELE M. PATTISON ' Del 22 ELSTON ROAD UPPER MONTCLAIR Cheerleader (11), Captain (12); Girls ' A. A. (8, 9, 10, 11, 12); Chorus (9, 11, 12); French Club (11). Usually airaxed in the black and gold of her C. H. S. cheerleader ' s outfit, Adele, to us, has become the symbol of the American Glamazon. Adroit at snapping her fingers and clapping her hands with the best of them, she can usually be seen at the head of her squad, spurring our bra es on to ■ictorv. But ' Dels outstanding re- port cards sho ' that she doesn ' t let these extra- curricular acti ' ities eclipse the more serious pur- poses of her school career. W ROBERT J. VAN ESS Van 212 McCOSH ROAD UPPER MONTCLAIR Class Treasurer (11); Yearbook Associate Edi- tor (12); C;rier Associate Editor (10, 11, 12); Chorus (12), Click, click, and another scene of C. H. S. life has been preserved for posterity by Bob ' s trusty little camera. With a flash-bulb wit that fre- quently fizzles, Bob occasionally drags his jokes out of the formaldehyde to give the old things a run for their money. However, when not deep in the corn field, Van is quiet and seri- ous-minded—qualities that will gain for him an en iable niche in the world. I ' j ' M. ' il%t - -, 18 GLADYS T. VERMEULEN Happy 336 BROADWAY PATERSON Girls ' A. A. (7, 8, 9); Chorus (12). Hailing from Paterson, Gladys, with her sparkling white teeth, has smiled her way through College High since seventh grade, of which she is one of the original members. Tall and statuesque, Gladys has a talent for selecting attractive clothes, which she wears with distinc- tion. As to hobbies— Gladys enjoys reading, swimming, and knitting most. She has gready contributed to the success of many school ac- tivities to which she has been ever ready to lend a helping hand. JO ANN WALLACE Jo 266 GRAFTON AVENUE NEWARK Class President (9); Class Secretary (8); Class Student Council Representative (11); Student Council Secretary (12); Yearbook As- sociate Editor (12); Girls ' A. A. (8, 9, 10, 11), President (12); French Club (11, 12); Cheerleader (11, 12); Chorus (9, 11, 12). Personality, pep, and Jo are practically syn- onymous to the Class of ' 48. Her activities, which have run the gamut from chorus to cheer- leading, have been enlivened by her charm, sin- cerity, and ease of manner. An outstanding artist, Jo has also beguiled us by her candid car- toons of professors and students alike. When Jo has her one woman show in some famous art gallery, we ' ll proudly say, We knew her when 1 19 HARRY WUEST Harry 137 SUMMIT AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR Class Secretary (8); Dramatic Club (8, 9, 10); Radio Club Chairman (10); French Club (11). Harry is always there with the answer whether the subject be geometry, French, or the atomic bomb. With his appeahng accent acquired dur- ing his boyhood in Switzerland, Harry could be a killer with the feminine element, but so far, formulae and test tubes are much more in- triguing (?) to him. He intends to become an engineer, and we know he ' ll reach the top. RICHARD P. YESKEL Dick 44 EAST REID PLACE VERONA Student Council President (12); Class Presi- dent (11); Varsity Football (10, 11), Cap- tain (12); Varsity Basketball (11), Co- captain (12); Varsity Baseball (10, 11, 12); Chorus (11, 12). Entering C. H. S. in the tenth grade, Dick has not only starred in every sport, but has partici- pated in practically every other activity the school has had to offer. Modest, gay, and genial, Dick plows through his studies as easily as he does through the opposing team. At the moment, Dick is seriously considering a business career following his college course. May he ahvays be a letterman in evervthino he undertakes! 20 WILLIAM J. YSKAlXIP Bill 50 JEFFERSON PLACE TOTOWA BOROUGH Class President (10); Class Student Council Representative CIO); Editor-in-Chief of Crier (11-12); Yearbook Associate Editor (12); Chorus (12). Master at wit and whimsy, this lad ' s ersatilitv and varied abilities enable him to adapt himself to any situation with apparent ease. We all look to Bill for a characteristically Yskampish com- ment and criticism of run-of-the-mill opinions and hum-drum attitudes. Bill ' s humorous out- look has greatly enhanced his popularity, but has in no way detracted from his intelligent handlino of the more serious matters of life. 21 T, HIS LAST SPRINGTIME of our high school Hfe, with its foreshadowing of farewell, reminds us that the time to muse, imagine, and recall has come, and so we write this history of our eventful journey through these halls of learning. In September, 1942, twenty-eight sev- enth graders entered College High ' s cam- pus for the first time. After a first curi- ous inspection, it was the unanimous opin- ion of the older students that, as a class, we seventh graders were as green and un- likely looking a lot as ever graced their school. However, when the first timidity had worn off, and we began to show signs of life and intelligence, faculty and stu- dents alike decided that the infant class of ' 48 was as promising as any seventh grade that they could recall. It required but little time for us to de- velop interest in the high school activities and we were soon enthusiastically doing our part. As our first project at C. H. S., we undertook the task of writing a novel in English class, with the help of Mr. Nickerson. This required a great deal of effort, but the results were gratifying, to say the least. Our first year was high- lighted by the Christmas program which Mrs. Winchester helped us prepare for our mothers. The program ended with a por- traval of The Living Christmas Tree. At the party which followed the program our parents were presented with gifts we had made in art class. During the rest of the year we held monthly parties for each month ' s birthday children, as we settled down to participate in the various school activities. We started eighth grade feeling very high and mightv, for we were no longer the babies ' of College High School. In our English course we embarked on a pro- gram of writing plays which we acted out in class. The best play was selected, and after much strenuous activity, we success- fully presented Sponger ' s Jin.x to the school. We climaxed the year with a Monopoly party in the spring. This event, which was held in the library, was attended by our parents who were in ' ited to watch our mathematical minds at work. And now at last we were Freshmen! With the aid of Dr. Snyder and Dr. Ful- comer, we wrote and produced The Latin American Fantasy. Needless to sav, it was well worth the effort we put into the task because the rest of the school liked the performance as much as we enjoyed gi dng it. With Mr. Clifford ' s help we ran a tov sale and finished the ' ear with a 22 swelling treasury (not to mention our swelling heads). Our Sophomore year started off with a bang with the production of The Ghost Stor -, directed by Mr. Fox. Two of our more serious jobs as tenth graders were maintaining the C. H. S. War Sendee Honor Roll, started by the Class of ' 46, and ordering our class rings. We finished the ' ear with our first dance, The Spring Sensation, which indeed it was! Our junior year began with more school activities than ever before. French stu- dents joined ' ' Le Cercle Francais which had been re ' ived the previous year, and many of the boys ' ent out for the ' arious athletic teams. Accompanied by Dr. Krauss, we journeyed to New York where we visited the New York Herald Tribune plant and sa v Laurence 01i ' ier ' s produc- tion of Henry V, ' in connection with our English studv. In December our sec- ond dance, The Snow Ball, completed College High ' s social season. After Christmas vacation we took over the important job of putting out the Crier and thus gained possession of the coveted Crier office. To show our appreciation and good will to the departing senior class, we finished the year with the annual junior-senior picnic held at Barbara Bal- lou ' s summer cottage on Mountain Lake. The following September we returned to College High as seniors, fully con- scious of our new dignity. Early in the fall we started plans for the annual senior carni al which we called The Rural Rumpus. More people attended this an- nual event than ever before in C. H. S. histor ' . For the seniors, this final year brought to a close their sports activity at College High School. In recognition of their athletic performances at C. H. S., the ' arsity members received their letters in June, while members of the Girls ' Ath- letic Association were also presented with awards. Some of our senior field trips, sponsored by Dr. Moffatt, included visits to Paterson ' s District Court, the New York Stock Exchange, and the Town Meeting of the Air radio program. Then all too soon we realized that the greater part of the last and best year at College High was o ' er. The Crier was now in the hands of the junior class, the yearbook was com- pleted, and work on our biggest master- piece, the senior play, given for the bene- fit of the Scholarship Fund, was begun. The curtain ' s fall at the end of the plav was symbolic of the approaching climax of our full and rewarding six years at College High — graduation! 23 P R EV U E S In which we raise the curtain for a brief moment to take a fleeting glim-p se at the roles we may play at a later Stage. QAnd any resemblance to future real life situations is highly intentional. ' ) First of all, our crystal ball reveals Bill Lane who, after becom- ing president of M. I. T. and inventing perpetual motion, has settled down to a quiet life. He had manv secret and important discussions with Professor Einstein and now is readv to announce their decision to the world. ' The egg came first. Linda Gump, because of her extensive knowledge of make-up, has become fashion editor of ' ' Vague and is known to hundreds of females as Ladv Linda. Her introduction of green lipstick has ingratiated her ' ith men with wi -es who always detect lip- stick on their collars. Now thcv can sav thcv just bit too deeply into a pistachio ice cream cone. Tune in to W. P. A. L. to hear Mama Palma ' s platter-chatter nightly from four to nine. Fast gaining in popularity (she ' s even better than Rosalie Allen), Bobbie Palma is the only girl disc jockey to plav records with long red finger nails instead of a needle. Her favorite discs are Ay Barbara Reeba and When johnny Comes Marching Home. Besides being famous for his invention of jet-propelled busses for tardy students, Armen Fisher also has caused a sensation in the fashion world with his creation of a different colored sock for each foot. For Xmas Armen ad ' ocates red and green socks, and for Hallowe ' en, orange and black. His patriotic socks don ' t sell too well because of the dearth of three-footed people. If they hadn ' t lost the negative of Charles Atlas ' s picture, Da- id Christie might have been destined to an obscure life of sell- ing copies of Dear Diane. But Dave got a job posing with fle.xed muscles in a bathing suit. Llnderneath his photograph is the caption, You, too, can have a body like mine. Really 3 ' ou can. At his microphone we ha ' e Larry Friend, violently wa ' ing his Gillette razor and gi ng us a play-by-play description of the cur- rent Armv-Na ' y football game. Truly the finest sports commen- tator in the business, Larr-Larr is always on the ball— foot, base, or basket. You must read his latest book on his adventures in auto racing entitled, A Friend in Speed. ' Adele Pattison has made a fortune with her book, Cheering for Practical Purposes. ' ' Says ' Del, The E-yah Team Rah cheer is fine for reaching things on high sheh ' es, and the War Chant will get vou in a scrubbing position quicker than you can say ' V-a-r-s-i-t-y. ' The Locomotive cheer from a standing position will subdue the toughest of husbands. Wearing burlap pants and Yankee Stadium mud, Dick Yeskel has just scored another touchdown for his team, The Verona Wildcats. In times of stress Dick may be heard shouting lustily, Hold that wine! — and he doesn ' t mean Mission Bell. 24 Barbara Lou Baker ' s career began when a fortune teller told her to Follow the line which her name suggested. Howe ' er, this seer neglected to tell her which name. So confused Barbara doesn ' t know which to use first, her rolling pin or clipping shears. Acute indecision finally dro e Phyllis Durget into being a weather girl (whether or not). Phyllis ' s system, sniffing the air From a tower of St. Basil ' s Cathedral and waving an old Irish charm to and Fro, was successful until she predicted sunshine For St. Patrick ' s da)-. It poured! Phj ' llis ' s bangs were d ' ed bright orange and she was exiled to Northern Ireland. We Find Joan Gewecke deep in the Congo— one of the reasons we don ' t wanna leaye it. She is teaching the natiyes to speak Enghsh by pantomime. Although an excellent actress, Joan is Finding it extremely diFFicult, For obyious reasons, to act out the word kiss to the Ubangi. George Gilbert, listed in the Scotland Yard Files as Gee Gee Gibo, is one oF the greatest detecti ' es of the century. His most famous case was that of The Reindeer Sweater, which Gee Gee says was rather hard to unra el. Soh ' ing crimes by using a pay telephone makes George a booth sleuth. We see Irene Habernickel watching a horse race. She had been dismissed From her old job as girl stable boy because she tried to impersonate a dappled horse by wearing her leopard skin coat. Irene sometimes has a bad colt in her head, which accounts For her hoarsiness. Bob Van Ess has spent so much time in dark rooms developing pictures that now he cannot see in the daylight. He now has a job on the Lights Out ' program, and makes a good deal on the side, turning out the lights oF refrigerators A ' hen the doors are shut. Asked his opinion of his night liFe, Bob retorted with Whoo-Whoo! Ginny Hoagland has put her book-wormish talents to work. Her job is with the Boston censor department where she reads all comic books, newspapers, and novels entering the Hub city. Howe -er, she almost lost her job ' hen she let Fore ' er Amber pass the ban— she thought it was about a man with chronic yellow jaundice. AFter becoming interpreter For the Russians at the LI. N., Edson Barlow grew a beard so his Friends would not recognize him. Later, while smoking his skull pipe, his beaver ignited. Ed ' s comrades ha ' e elected him the most likely to succeed Stalin. For anyone who v ' ould go that far to be Red deserves something. Happy Barbara Ballou was so cheerful that she became the first Female Good Humor Man. She is also Famous For cornering the doughnut market and cleaning up an enormous profit at a foot- ball game. The climax of her career came soon aFter she s ' nthe- sized tutti-fruitti from Dr. Freeman ' s worn-out cigars. Bill Fay has started a used car business under the name of The Chuckling Czechoslovakian. His business is located on the top of j lt. ' ' hitney. When he sells a car.

CLASS OF ' 49 A: . S THE JUNIORS entered the halls of College High for the fifth time, they were already anticipating the many activities offered them at C. H. S. The junior boys made up a good part of our undefeated football team and pro ' ed a tremendous help during the basketball and baseball seasons. The eleventh grade girls, not to be out-done by the boys, were well-represented at the Girls ' Athletic Association meet- ings and also acted as cheerleaders at all our games. The first big task facing the juniors was the presentation of their second dance at C. H. S. The Snow Shoe Shuffle proved to be a great financial success as well as a source of much fun for everyone concerned. The Class of ' 49 began a successful new year, despite the increase of class as- signments, with their first publication of the tri-weekly Crier. Nineteen hundred and forty-eight saw many other publications edited and distributed by the junior class. To top a producti ' e vear, full of hard work and lots of play, the juniors sponsored the traditional junior-senior picnic in June. 30 CLASS OF ' 50 R, .ETURMNG FROM SUMMER vacation, the Sophomore Class began its fourth year at College High bv electing class officers for the first semester. John Armstrong as chosen president, with Mar ' Bro ' nson, ' ice president; Jennifer AA ' alker, secretar -; and Bob Hunziker, treasurer. Doug Hawes was elected student council representative. Subscribing to the Teen-Age Book Club, as the previous sophomores had done, was undertaken bv the class. The class members recei ' ed the books of their choice each month and dramatized them in English class, under the direction of Mr. Law- rence Conrad, tenth grade English instructor. When the Christmas -acation ended, the sophomores turned their attention to plans for their dance, which was held in February. Having gained by previous ex- perience, the class hoped to make its second dance an e en greater success than the first, which had attracted a large gathering. Realizing that thev would soon make up a greater part of College High ' s varsity teams, the tenth grade boys tried their hand at school sports and saw action in foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. The sophs especially made their presence known on the court and diamond— also at noon-time dancing.

CLASS OF ' 51 T HE FRESHMAN CLASS, entering College High School as sophisticated high school students for the first time, immediately drew up plans for a year which they hoped would be both a social and educational success, A trip to see the Freedom Train marked the first event of the year for the ninth graders, who were accompanied by Miss Stewart, their American Culture teacher. The class further showed its interest in world affairs by helping Miss Tonnone, their French teacher, collect toys to send to children in Martinique. Money for this pur- pose was raised through a turkey raffle, which proved to be a great financial success. Well-represented in both the Girls ' A. A. and the orchestra, the Class of ' 51 gave its enthusiastic support to all of College High ' s athletic and social events. However, along with their manv activities, these busy ninth graders also man- aged to keep up scholastic honors throughout the year, with the names of many class members periodically appearing on the Honor Roll. The enviable record set by the Freshman Class should ser ' e as an incenti ' e for all future ninth graders. 32 CLASS OF ' 52 i- HE CLASS OF ' 52, with their first year at College High behind them, returned as eager members of the eighth grade. Their happ ' , care-free ways of the past year were soon forgotten as thev settled down to a year of hard work and study. The class played an acti e part in school activities by being well-represented at the Senior carnival, The Rural Rumpus, and at the various dances held through- out the year. The Class of ' 52 further displaved great school spirit by their recular attendance at all athletic e ents. One of the most interesting projects undertaken bv the eighth grade was the mak- ing of a motion picture, Resources Limited, under the direction of Dr. Partridge. This kodachrome picture on conservation in the State of Nevv ' Jersey had its premier in College High School at a Parent-Teacher meeting in December. The class, ac- companied by Mrs. Lehmkuhl and Dr. Glenn, science teachers, visited the Havden Planetarium and the Museum of Natural History. On the purely social side, several members of the class ga ' e parties during the year for their fellow students. Bicvcle trips also proved popular as a class activity.

CLASS OF ' 53 T, HE SEVENTH GRzADE class did not take long to get into the swing ol things at College High and soon made themsehes known by taking part in all school acti i- ties. A Hallo ' ' e ' en party gi ' en to the se ' enth graders by Mrs. Winchester, their homeroom ad ' iser, was the first social e ent of the year. This was followed by a party for the mothers at Christmas. A plav, When the Star Shone, was also pre- sented by the class at this time. As a supplement to their studies, the class planned many interesting field trips. The Freedom Train and the Museum of Natural History were places they found to be both interesting and educational. The annual seventh grade trip to High Point was a major e ' ent of the year. The class contributed its share in helping others by sending food and clothing to underpri ' ileged and foreign children. Before Thanksgi -ing, members of the class collected baskets of fruit which they distributed to needy families. Old shoes were collected at Christmas and sent to the people of Europe. The se ' enth graders also made and sold plastic jewelry, the profits of which they sent to Greece. A class such as this, with its fine school spirit, can look forward to fi -e more successful years at College High. 34 3.5 Back row, left to right: Bob Aljunu:,. Dailaia Bal Dave Berrv, Dick Yeskel.

STUDENT COUNCIL 1 HE STUDENT COUNCIL, under the guidance of xMr. Seybold, met many times this vear to deal with problems confronting the student body. President Dick Yeskel, aided bv Vice-President Da e Berrv and Secretary Jo Ann Wallace, led the group composed of homeroom representati es from each class during the first school semester. In the second term elections a new set of officers was chosen to head the Council for the remainder of the year. Pat Lvnch was elected president; Bill Speer, vice-president; and Linda Gump, secretary. This vear the Council discharged its usual duties which included the appoint- ment of a fire drill committee, planning of assemblv programs as well as assisting in the activities of alumni and parent visiting days. The Council may take credit, at least in some measure, for the purchasing of the new phonograph and records. It was also instrumental in obtaining new uniforms for the basketball team and in collecting canned goods for European Aid. One of the main accomplishments of the Council was the revising of the school constitution. A committee, comprising the three student council officers, aided Mr. Sevbold in this enterprise. 36 THE CRIER IN ITS SEVENTEENTH 3-ear of ser ' ice to the school the Crier, College High ' s tri-weeklv publication, continued to supply the student body with news of sports, homeroom events, dances, and other school projects of interest to College High School. In December, 1946, the Crier again was gi ' en a first class rating by the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association. At this time the paper was turned over to the Class of ' 48, which has maintained the high standard set by previous classes. Bill Yskamp was chosen editor-in-chief with the following associate editors to assist him: Bill Nagel, news; Larry Friend, sports; Phyllis Durget, features; Norma Haupt, make-up: Linda Gump, headlines; Barbara Baker, rewrite; Peggy Flanders, proof and copv; Bob Van Ess, photography; and Barbara Ballou, alumni and exchange. John Geismar, retiring editor-in-chief, became student adviser. Since September, 1947, the new Crier staff has been completely on its own. Because, for efficiency ' s sake, some of the associate editorships have been combined, the new staff of ten is the smallest the Crier has had in many years. With mingled feelings of regret, the Crier was turned over to the juniors in Jan- uary of 1948. Although the road has been rocky at times, those who have been as- sociated with the Crier will ne ' er forget their newspaper e.xperience here at College High.

CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA T, HE CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA of 1947-48 were the largest and most suc- cessful in College High history. Mr. Ward Moore continued to direct both organiza- tions and, because of his able leadership, both groups gave excellent performances throughout the year. The chorus ' s first performance was gi ' en for the Ladies ' Aid Society of the First Methodist Church in Montclair. A tea was held after the program of Christmas carols and songs. The chorus also presented se ' eral Yule-tide carols before the school at a Christmas assembly, and appeared at Parent-Teacher Association meetings. The or- ganization ended its successful season by singing at the baccalaureate and commence- ment exercises held in June. The enlarged orchestra, with the help of many new members, strengthened and greatly improved its playing this year. It appeared at Parent-Teacher Association meetings and at assemblies. During the past few years, the chorus and orchestra have made great strides. As a result, music has increasingly become a more integral part of our school program. 38 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS M. .ANY ENTHUSIASTIC iMEiMBERS, both old and new, assembled at the French Club ' s first meeting to enjoy a different type of extra-curricular activity by learning more about a foreign language and customs. The Club, which is sponsored by Madame Germaine Cressey, elected Linda Gump, president; Sheila de Vries, vice- president; Joan Gewecke, secretary; and Elizabeth Llmbach, treasurer. The group ' s first meetings were spent playing various French games. The favorit.e and most successful event of the year was the crepe suzette party for v ' hich several unidentified new members were on hand. When Christmas approached, the Club sang carols in French and learned French Christmas stories and folklore. Le Cercle Francais also during the course of the ) ' ear heard various speakers, played opera recordings, talked politics, and planned ex- cursions, including a visit to the United Nations at Lake Success. Refreshments consisting of cocoa and cookies or doughnuts were prepared by a committee and served at e ' ery other meeting. The final event of the French Club ' s busy year was the annual French dinner held in the librarv. There a delicious meal was served by the Club ' s chefs under the watchful eye of Madame Cressey. The Club had a successful and enjoyable year because of the enthusiasm of its members and their cooperation with their adviser and officers.

Howard Fox, the students of College High revived the Dramatic Club with the hope that the organization would soon re- assume its high place among the extra-curricular activities of C. H. S. A sizeable number of aspiring actors and actresses responded to the call with the aim of gaining a more thorough knowledge of dramatics. A demonstration on the application of stage make-up, given bv Sally Cyrill, a College student, proved a profitable experience for the club members, who learned more about an extremely important phase of dramatics. The Club ' s main project of the past year, however, was its s ' tage presentation of Belle. The members of the Club deserve much credit for the success of this pro- duction to which thev devoted so much time and effort. In order to become thoroughlv familiar with every phase of dramatic art, club members received not only the usual instruction in voice control, stage presence, and application of make-up, but also learned the basic rules for scenery arrangement, and the proper production of stage effects, both lighting and sound. Joan Blumberg and Barbara Ballou served as president and vice-president of the Dramatic Club during this first busv vear of its welcome reappearance on the campus. 40 RIDING CLUB A COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL Riding Club was suggested by the eleventh grade in September during one of the class ' s first homeroom meetings. The juniors then consulted Mr. Sevbold, who appro •ed of the idea and offered his assistance to the group. The organizers of the Riding Club posted notices on the bulletin board and encouraged enthusiastic equestrians to join the group. About forty interested students attended the club ' s first meeting. A college student, who was interested in riding and could teach the inexperienced members, agreed to act as chaperone for the group. Thus, the Riding Club officially became an extra-cunicular acti ■ity at College High School. Several meetings were held at which the members arranged the club ' s program for 1947-48. After many discussions, it was decided that the beginners who were interested in taking lessons were to ride at the Montclair Riding Club, and the more experienced members at the Garrett Mountain Reser ation in Paterson. Since most of the fall season was spent organizing the club, the group adjourned until the spring when acti dties were resumed. From all indications, horseback riding promises to be one of the more popular and well-supported activities at College High in the future. Back row, left to right. Barbara Paliiia. Marjorie Eastwick.

A. T HE GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, one of the oldest and most popular organizations at College High, held its first meeting in the fall of 1947. The officers elected were: Jo Ann Wallace, president; Barbara Baker, vice-president; and Barbara Ballou, secretary. A full sports program started immediately with field hockey, which was played throughout the fall months. The hockey season was terminated by the annual inter- scholastic playday held at College High, with Caldwell, Montclair, and Glen Ridge High Schools participating. Basketball practice began after the Thanksgi ' ing vacation. A playday held at Glen Ridge concluded the season ' s activities. A volleyball and badminton playday took place in the early spring at Montclair High. With the arrival of warm weather, the A. A. turned to softball and partici- pated in a playday at Caldwell which ended the spring season. The present seniors who have attended the Girls ' A. A. since ninth grade have been supervised by several different coaches. Miss Margaret Clark and Mrs. Gladys Pratt preceded Miss Pauline Foster, who directed the organization this 3 ' ear. At the final assembly in June, the presentation of awards for all three sport seasons brought to a close a highly successful year. 42 CHEERLEADERS T HE 1947-48 SCHOOL YEAR saw the appearance of a smaller, more compact cheerleading squad than in previous years. In order to increase the squad ' s efficiency, the group was reduced to seven instead of the usual ten members. Under the direction of Captain Adele Pattison, aspirants for positions on the squad were instructed in the early fall. From twenty candidates, four seniors and three juniors were selected for the squad, along with two sophomores who were chosen as substitutes. When the football season opened, a unit of well-trained C. H. S. cheerleaders took the field alongside the team. The squad held pep rallies for the student body periodically throughout the year. These rallies served to boost school spirit and to acquaint the students with new cheers which the squad perfected after the close of the football season. Practices were held three times a week in preparation for the heavy basketball schedule. Without the cheering squad, any contest on the field or court would have seemed incomplete. In their black and yellow uniforms, the cheerleaders could be counted on to keep up the College High spirit e ' en when the going was rough. At the end of the year the members of the squad receixed letters in recognition of their hard work and good sportsmanship.

FOOTBALL C( -OLLEGE HIGH ' S SIX-JMAN Football team had another banner year in 1947 when, in addition to remaining undefeated in seven games, it again captured the Metropolitan Conference championship. The Ponies were once more under the capable direction of Mike Stanish, who began his second year of coaching at C. H. S. Coach Stanish had six letter men, led bv Captain Dick Yeskel, around which to build, and for the second straight year turned out an unbeaten Pony team. The undefeated season stretched the College High ' ictory skein to tweh ' e games over a two-vear span. College High opened its defense of the conference crown with a hard fought 14—6 victor} ' over McBurney School of Nev ' York. The Ponies ' next game resulted in an easy 44—19 win o ' er Wardlavv. The following week saw College High muddy but victorious over Collegiate, 34—6. In a free-scoring contest C. H. S. defeated Bonnie Brae, 50—26, in its only non-conference tilt of the year. The Ponies moved closer to the championship by again defeating Wardlaw in a return game at Plainfield, 27—12. This pro ' ed to be a costly victory for the Ponies as Bill Speer, first-string left end, was injured and lost to the team for the remainder of the season. In its final games of the season, College High once more vanquished McBurney and Collegiate by scores of 32—6 and 25— 19, respectively. In completing the most successful grid season in the school ' s history, the Ponies collected 226 points to the opposition ' s 74. 44 BASKETBALL JL LAYING ONE OF the toughest schedules in the school ' s basketball history. Col- lege High ' s 1948 court team experienced a poor season. The Ponies won six games while dropping tvvehe. The C. H. S. squad was completely outclassed in the majority of its games al- though College High fans had something to shout about when their team came up with some brilliantly played contests which resulted in upset wins for the Pony courtsters. Coach Stanish ' s outfit dropped its first six games of the season. Not until the sixth game, which resulted in a narrow yictory for a bigger and stronger jMontclair Academy quintet, did the Ponies exhibit good basketball. A thrilling ' ictory o ' er Caldwell, a ' eiiging an earlier defeat, marked the high point of the Ponies ' 1948 campaign. Wins over ' ardlaw and Stevens added to the C. H. S. win streak. But the Ponies slumped again, losing their next five encounters. They came back, however, to capture three of their last four games, including another tremendous upset vin, this time ovex Eastern Academy. Da e Berry, Dick Yeskel, and Pete Bennett bore the brunt of the Pony attack. Pat Lynch, Warren Seamans, Doug Hawes, and Bob Hunziker also were of great value to the team during the campaign. Yeskel and Lynch, the Pony co-captains, will be lost to the team through graduation.

BASEBALL U NDER THE COACHING of Mike Stanish, College High ' s 1947 baseball team underwent complete reorganization, and as might have been expected, experi- enced a poor season. The Ponies emerged from the season ' s play with but one vic- tory to their credit as rain and wet grounds erased several contests from the schedule. Dick Yeskel, Dave Berry, Pat Lynch, and Doug Smith were the four lettermen who reported to Coach Stanish at the season ' s opening practice. Smith, the 1947 team captain and shortstop, was the only senior on the starting nine. In its first game of the season the team displayed a strong batting punch in winning over Delbarton, 10—3, on Sprague Field. However, this power at the plate immediately vanished when the Ponies traveled to Plainfield to play Wardlaw. Dis playing an erratic brand of fielding, they lost a two-hitter, 10—2. After this the team dropped two successive no-hit games. Delbarton trounced C. H. S., 12—0, and Eastern Academy of Paterson handed the Ponies a 10—0 defeat. College High lost its return game to Eastern Academv by a 10—3 score. The Ponies played bv far their best game of the 1947 season in losing to Morris- town Prep, 8—3. This defeat brought out the pitching ability of Freshman Doug Hawes, who held the Prepsters scoreless for four innings. Despite a three-run homer from the bat of Da e Berry, the Ponies lost at Bloomfield, 7—6, in the season ' s finale. 46 47 Thomas S. Bixler, ' 44 Vice-President EDWARD A. STRONG, INC.
