As a result there has been culti- vated within us a feeling of kinship and affec- tion toward her. Serving in the capacity of librarian for eleven years, she has given of herself completely for the well being of the students, helping out when and where needed. Last fall Mrs. Winchester was taken ill and was required of necessity to withdraw from her position at C.H.S. until September of 1949. Her absence has made us come to realize fully our indebtedness to her. This dedication can convey only a portion of the appreciation and thanks we wish to express.

CAMPBELL ALLEN 62 Sunset Avenue, Verona ' Cam Here ' s the fellow you thought you just passed a minute ago going in the opposite direction. You ' ll soon find out, though, that the solution is quite simple, there ' s two of them. Don ' t get on the wrong side of this one, how- ever, because Cam ' s a skilled rifleman. In addition, he ' s quite a harmonizer in the quartet, and you should hear him rattle off his self- taught Spanish. He hopes to study agricu ture at St. Lawrence next year, and we wish him luck. Class Secretary (7), Vice-Presidenl (12); Choir. JAMES JAY ALLEN 62 Sunset Avenue, Verona Jamie Here ' s the other half, Jamie. Jamie has many achievements that have us all marvel- ling. This past summer he took to the air and consequently has become an authority on avi- ation. He and Mr. Placek have us completely pop-eyed when they get talking about drag, wind resistance, and jet-propulsion. Flying is not Jamie ' s only virtue, however. He has a genial personality that makes everyone a friend. We predict that some day you ' ll hear a lot about Jamie Jet Allen. Choir; Basketball: Baseball; Class President (9), Vice-President (10); French Club. BOBBIE-ZENE ARNOLD 236 East 33rd Street, Paterson ' Bobbie We always think of Bobbie as being just a cute little girl, but comes a dance or party we realize how good-looking Bobbie really is. Black hair, blue eyes, sparkling white teeth, a perfect figure and a terrific personality make a combination that ' s hard to beat. Bobbie is very sincere, responsible and dependable. Really, she ' s quite a girl, and we know she will be a success at Centenary Junior College next year. Student Council Secretary: Yearbook; Choir; Dramatic Club; French Club; Girls ' A. A.; Cheerleader. KATHRYN ANN BAYER 755 Clifton Avenue, Newark Kathy Kathy joined our happy little tribe at the beginning of twelfth grade. Yet we don ' t think of her as a newcomer. The first time we met her she fitted right into the class, so that now the senior class would be incomplete without her. This isn ' t hard to understand. Kathy is very friendly and has a wonderful personality. The only thing wrong with her is that she waited so long to come to C.H.S. Secretary of Class 112); Choir; Girls ' Chorus. PETER REYNOLDS BENNETT 135 North Mountain Avenue, Montclair Pete Pete is the tennis man of our class. They say he really swings a mean racket. We all know he ' s a sure shot in basketball and far from slow on the football field. C.H.S. will be losing a lot when Pete graduates. The Class of ' 49 will miss him, too. Who ' s going to tell us corny jokes? Who will be custodian of that certain record at parties? Best of luck to a swell fellow. Baskethall: Baseball; Football; Choir. DAVID LAURANCE BERRY 66 Plymouth Street, Montclair Dingle How can we describe Dave in the alloted space? He ' s got far too much to him and has too many extra-curricular activities. He has been a three-letter man right along and the life of every party we can remember. Where he finds the time to work is something we don ' t know, but the honor rolls show that he does. Dave ' s a walking example of popularity, so let ' s just say he ' s an ideal senior. Student Council Vice-President; Class Presi- dent (10), Vice-President (91; Choir; Football Captain; Basketball Captain: Baseball; Crier. JOAN ELIN BLUMBERG 145 East 30th Street, Paterson ' ' Ginger Hey listen, kids, have you heard this? and in nothing flat Joan has a crowd around her waiting to hear the latest scoop. Where she gets her info on such a variety of subjects has had us stumped for years. Then, too, you can always count on Joan to get a job done. Responsibility! That ' s what we like. Joanie is interested in dramatics, and we know that she has the right combination of character and personality to do a good job. Crier; Yearbook; Diamatic Club President; French Club; Choir; Girls ' Chorus; Girls ' A.A. T%: MARY A. CLAY 162 Burlington Avenue, Paterson Mary T-E-A-M Clay. It ' s no wonder the cheerleading squad is so good when Mary is its leader. Mary is a wonderful student, too, and has been a steady member of the honor roll right from the seventh grade. She further proved her abilities when she was voted Student Council president, the third girl ever to hold such a position in the history of C.H.S. Mary ' s beautiful voice is going to give her clear sailing as a music major in college.

SHEILA DE VRIES Old Chester Road, Essex Fells She- ll we were to vote, Sheila would be en- titled, the girl we could never do without. She has been at the helm of many class en- deavors and has spurred us on with a little encouragement here and there. Her zany record imitations have had us all in hysterics more times than we can remember. She shines like a silver dollar in French, but her voca- tional aspirations lean toward dramatics. Some day we ' ll be saying, We knew her when — . Class President (7), Secretary (U); Student Council: President and Vice-President French Cluh: Choir: Crier: Yearbook: Girls ' A.A.: Dramatic Club. MARJORIE E. EASTWICK 19 Melrose Avenue, North Arlington Marge Although she entered College High in her junior year. Marge had that certain touch which at once endeared her to the class. Be- sides being tops in the three R ' s, she is also known for her work in the Girls ' A. A. Only the Crier staff can. really appreciate her work as proof and copy editor, and it seemed quite natural that Marge should be given the editor- ship of the yearbook. Crier; Yearbook Editor: Vice-President Girls ' A. A.; Choir; Girls ' Chorus. MIRIAM JUDITH GITTLEMAN 356 Parker Street, Newark Mimi Mimi ' s the girl with the fast comebacks. You ' ve really got to be on your toes to keep up with her. But more fascinating than her witty remarks is her artistic talent. How could we do the decorations for a dance without her, to say nothing of trying to do a mural without her definite know-how. To wish her luck is ridiculous because she certainly doesn ' t need it. So w e ' ll just wish her the best of every- thing. Crier; Yearbook; Dramatic Club; Choir; Girls ' Chorus. BETTE JANE HENDERSHOT 460 East 40th Street, Paterson B. . New styles in Vogue magazine are nothing to us. By the time they come out we ' ve already seen them modeled. B.J. ' s just the girl that can do it, too, terrific figure and cute as punch. Besides this, B.J. is practically double-jointed. Fabulous back-bends, cart-wheels and sphts are as easy for her as walking is for us. Naturally she ' s a mainstay on the cheerleading squad. Let ' s just describe her as a terrific kid. Choir; French Club; Dramatic Club; Girls ' A.A.; Cheerleader. x. JAYNE KERRY KNOWLTON Fellscrest Road, Essex Fells There are a few people who are always happy and pleasant. Jayne is one of these. She always seems to be in a good mood. She is usually seen running around with her rusty, trusty camera, catching scenes that are price- less in black and white. She also spends a lot of time in shop, giving her artistic ability free rein. She is good in sports, and we are sure she will make an ideal gym teacher. Orchestra; Choir; Girls ' Chorus; Crier; Year- book; Giris ' A.A. JEAN T. KOONS 59 Athenia Avenue, CUfton ecrnnie All of us have come to know Jean as one girl you can count on to lend a helping hand in a pinch. Moreover, her fascinating, delight- ful personality could pull anyone out of a gloom. She is a connoisseur of the knitting art and has us all in the dark as to how she can knit a pair of argyles in two nights. Jeannie is heading for the social work field, and no wonder; she ' ll fit in perfectly. Yearbook; Choir; Giris ' A. A.; Giris ' Chorus; Class Secretary (8). JOHN LAMPERTI 320 Crestmont Road, Montclair ' ' Lilly- We study like madmen, and then after talking to John for live minutes we feel like low-class morons. He can really give you an inferiority complex. Not only is he brilliant in math and science, but he knows almost every- thing about anything. He ' s got a lot more to him than a brilliant mind, too. We know John is going to make his mark in the world, and we wish him lots of success. Baseball; Crier; Class Secretary (9): Orchestra. SUZANNE HUNT LEWIS 599 - 14th Avenue, Paterson Sue A darling blond and piles of pep. That would be your first impression of Sue. But you would soon find out that she ' s a born athlete. Her favorite sport is riding, and they tell us she is pretty good at it. At times she seems a little mischievous, and you can always tell by the little sparkle in her eye that she ' s up to some- thing. We wish her best of luck in all her endeavors. Student Council; Choir; Girls ' Chorus; Dramatic Club; French Club; Girls ' A. A.; Cheerleader. ARTHUR CHARLES LOBSENZ 11 West Parkway, Clifton Arf When a volunteer is asked to make a report or a speech, Art ' s hand is always up first. He ' s really interested in speaking and with good reason. He makes a snappy oration. Art racks up top-notch marks, too. This all takes a lot of burning of the midnight oil, and we ' ve got to hand it to him. Art ' s a diligent, steady worker who gets the deserved results which are hard to beat. Beware, all ye poli- ticians of tomorrow! Football Manager: Football Team: Basketball Manager: Choir, yearbook Advertising Man- ager. BARBARA JOAN MacLEOD 278 East 30th Street, Paterson Macky Now we introduce to you Lana Turner ' s latest threat. Platinum blond hair, clear blue eyes, and an hour-glass figure add up to danger for Hollywood ' s glamor girls. She has a beaming personality to top it off and has added pep and vitality to the cheerleading squad ever since her sophomore year. Macky hails from Paterson and can usually be seen in her snazzy maroon convertible, a sight the school will miss in years to come. Student Council: Choir: Girls ' A.A.: Class Vice- President (71: Dramatic Club: Cheerleader: French Club. MALCOLM S. McCLINTOCK 403 Upper Mountain Avenue, Montclair Mac If you ' re ever hungry, Mac ' s the guy to see. He ' ll give you all the corn you want and now and then a hot crossed pun. Where does he get ' em? When he ' s not being humorous, he sets a brilliant mind to work. We are con- stantly floored with his answers to questions about subjects we ' ve never even heard of. Responsibility? You can ' t be editor of the Crier without it. We know he ' ll be a success. Class President ill); Yearbook; Choir; DTamatic Club; Football; Baseball. DONNA WILLIAMS PELISSIER 856 Valley Road, Montclair Don Neat as a pin, good looking and style plus. Add personality and popularity and you have a thumb-nail sketch of Donna. Donna is very frank and sincere; nothing hypocritical about her. Now besides all this she is a marvelous dancer. It ' s no wonder that a party would be missing a lot if she weren ' t there. Donna wants to be secretary and knowing her for six years has convinced us that she will do a terrific job. Class Secretary (11); Crier; Choir; Girls ' A.A.; Orchestra. CHARLES C. REILLY, JR. 253 Midland Avenue, Montclair Chuck We used to call him Mighty Mouse, but he fooled us one summer and outgrew his name. We still think of him as having tre- mendous influential power, though. Take a tip from us and don ' t ever be opposite him in a debate. You won ' t stand a chance. He has a wonderful brain that ' s just packed with logic. Chuck has personality plus and a certain charm that we know will make him a success in any field. Student Council; Class President (8); Crier; Yearbook; Choir; Basketball; Baseball. RALPH LORAIN RIEHLE 308 Park Street, Montclair Old Money Bags Ralph we used to call him. Perhaps it ' s because he somehow got caught in the web of a conspiracy to make him class treasurer for our six years at C.H.S. In spite of this apparent abuse, Ralph has proved himself to be a real guy, and he ' s we liked by all of us. His yen for dabbling in mechanics is going to lead him right into an engineering school where we know he ' ll make the grade. Class Treasurer (7-12); Dramatic Club; Crier; Choir; Orchestra; Football Manager. Jk WARREN E. SEAMANS 8 Barnes Street, Paterson Archie Warren, more commonly known as Archie, come to C.H.S. in ninth grade. How did we get through seventh and eighth grades without him? How did the chorus get along? the bas- ketball team? the football team? the baseball team? We really don ' t know. His vast popu- larity was made clear when he was elected president of the Student Council. Archie goes out of his way to be nice to everyone, and the best of luck is what he deserves. Class President (U); Student Council President; Crier: French Club; Choir; Orchestra; Football; Jasketball; Baseball. JEAN ELLEN SILVERMAN 464 Highland Avenue, Newark How dull Monday mornings would be without Jean Ellen. We can always bank on a complete account of fabulous weekends. Be- sides this, she has a tremendous supply of jokes. If you haven ' t heard the latest one, Jean Ellen is the girl to see. Every once in a while she forgets a punch line, but that ' s one of the things that makes her so much fun. Jean Ellen has great school spirit and very rarely misses a football, basketball or baseball game. Choir; Girls ' Chorus; Dramatic Club; Girls A. A. WILLIAM GUENTHER SPEER 73 Mount Prospect Avenue, Verona ill What was it? Go to the heat of the equator or to the freezing North Pole, and you will find no one to match Bill Speer. Well, we haven ' t been to any of those places, so we don ' t know. But we think Bill is a pretty terrific guy. He ' s been a three-letter man since way back and joined the honor roll even before that. So you see, we ' ve no reason to go to the north pole. Class Piesident (8); Student Council Vice-Pres- ident; Choir; Dramatic Club; Football; Basket- ball; Baseball. JOHN R. TOMEC 42 Melrose Place, Montclair Here ' s the fellow that can liven up the dullest situation just by entering the room. His witty writings are well known via the Crier and yearbook. Not only has he a sense of humor, but he devours science and math prob- lems as a part of his everyday diet. Class spirit plus is one of John ' s many virtues. Truthfully, we don ' t know how we managed without him until our sophomore year. Class President (12); Crier; Yearbook; Choir; Baseball; Basketball Manager; Dramatic Club. THORWALD TORGERSEN 76 Washington Street, East Orange Thor How dull can a report be? we ask our- selves. Then Thor goes to the front of the room and begins his talk. Immediately the doodlers stop doodling, the notewriters stop writing and the class comes to complete attention. And why? Because Thor is a top notch speaker. He can make the dullest of subjects inspiring. We ' re sure we will be hearing of him in that field in the years to come, and until then the best of luck to him. Class President (121; Crier, Choir; Football and Basketball Manager. ELIZABETH E. UMBACH 5 Pierson Place, Glen Ridge Liz If there ' s a job to be done, you can rest assured that no matter how many unexpected things come up, Liz will find time to get the work in. She ' s really dependable. Not only does she work hard and get good marks, but she can give swell parties. We ' ll never forget that cruise party she gave us on the S.S. Lizzie Lee. Best of luck to a hard worker and a swell girl. Class Vice-President (12), Secretary (111: Crier; Choir; Girls ' Chorus; Orchestra; Dramatic Club: French Club. PAUL G. WERT 53 Lane Avenue, Caldwell Duke Blond wavy hair, clear blue eyes, enviable height and clear-cut features are the results of Paul ' s German ancestry. He ' s really good- looking. Paul ' s got more than looks, too. He ' s a natural wit, always right on the ball with his spontaneous good humor. If you ever want to know anything about Pennsylvania, Paul ' s your man. Seems there ' s just no other place to hunt and fish. Here ' s wishing him success in all he does. Choir; Student Council; Class Vice-President (9), President (7); Football; Orchestra. CONVERSE M. WEST 120 Westville Avenue, Caldwell Con A professor mentions a name or an event. We think to ourselves, Hmmm . . . That sounds familiar . . . Won der where I ' ve heard it . . . , and that ' s all. But not Converse. He constantly amazes us with his tremendous initiative. Many ' s the time that yesterday ' s subject is mentioned again, and this time Con has loads of infor- mation on it. He ' s particularly interested in current events, and with that profitable curi- osity he should go far. The best of luck to him.

MARGARET ELIZABETH WILLETT 20 Franklin Place, Arlington Betty Be it hockey, baseball or basketball, the first girl you would think of in connection with G.A.A. would be Betty Willett. She has sup- ported the Girls ' A. A. since seventh grade and now is president of it. This may give you an idea that she ' s good in sports. You ' re right. Not only that but she ' s right up top in school work, too. How does it feel, Betty, to be such a steady member of the honor roll? Class Vice-President lU), Secretary (12); Girls ' Chorus; Choir; Girls ' A. A. President. JANET RUTH WOODALL Wayne 7cfn Gosh, she ' s a swell gal. How many times have we said that about Janet? I ' m sure not less than a thousand times. Jan is neat and far more than attractive. She ' s got all the ingredients of that famous formula, too. Brains, looks and personality. We ' re told you don ' t make the honor roll year after year after year on a cute smile although Jan ' s name would still be there if that were all that was needed.

These Station Stops llong The Way Class History It is interesting to notice the comparisons between our class and the Erie Railroad. Both are still in the process of modernization. For comparison let us suppose that the Erie had just laid its tracks when the class entered the school in ' 43. As the wood-burning Rocket pulled away from the Montclair Heights station, it left a somewhat scared and sooty crowd of new seventh graders. This day was memorable in that it was the first day of six school years which were to follow. It would be hard to list all the activities in which we as a class participated in that first and rather harrowing year. One of the never-to-be-forgotten incidences was the gift presentaton of a flowering shrub to the library. Mrs. Winchester was thunderstruck when one of the older students inquired why she was keeping poison ivy on her desk. The year ' s climax was the trip to High Point where the class spent the night. At this time a certain bottle was planted containing matter written by the class members. Too bad the bottle was dug up the next year. Of course, it must be mentioned here that one of the hydrogen balloons sent up under the instruction of Miss Ransom was returned by a certain Mr. Scerb of Connecticut. The first coal burners were making their appearance as we made ours in preparation for our second year at College High. Spurred on by the strains of a flute, our class produced the play, A Package for Ponsenby, which went over with a bang. Funny though, a page in the script was left out in one of the later performances and was never missed. Later in the year the boys took a trip to Wall Street where they were conducted through the National City Bank. The day was climaxed when they saw the production Ten Little Indians. The year of the closed coach, free from soot and smoke, found us contemplating our freshman year. Our Western Culture course was begun with observations on the conditions in South America. To conclude the project a mock trial was presented before the Parent- Teacher Association. In the trial the student jury ruled that Argentina was guilty of the charge under consideration. But a monkey wrench was thrown into the gears of justice when the parent jury voted unani- mously for a verdict of not guilty. During the year we started and completed the mural which now graces the wall of room thirteen. The mural, bringing out our artistic talent, was perhaps the greatest achievement of the class for the year. Have Met Anii Passed Class History As sophomores we were some of the first people to ride on the new nerve-racking specials which swung along the rails at the terrific speed of twenty miles per hour. By this time we had graduated to the upper hall where no end of good things abound. Our fourth year at C.H.S. offered many new problems such as the choice of class rings and our first school dance presentation. Under the guidance of our English teacher, Mr. Lawrence Conrad, we had the distinction of being the first class to join the Teen-Age Book Club. Each month we ordered and received pocket book editions of well-known books. Our greatest achievements in this course were the dramatizations of the plots. Then, too, there were our little rambles in the woods directed by our biology teacher, Mrs. Ramsden. Tick-tree-foil was collected by all on skirts and pants while even some of the more fortunate caught cold and thus avoided the next outing. Diesel-electrics now began to take the place of the more expensive smokers. Compressed air horns blared warnings to pedes- trians as our train rolled in to deposit us for our junior year. By now we were well schooled in the art of presenting a school dance, which was revealed when The Snow Shoe Shuffle proved to be a great success. Other activities included a trip to the New York Museum of Natural History where we viewed the atomic energy exhibit, and the junior-senior picnic at Lake Hopatcong. Among the new activities offered to the class was the publication of the College High Crier, which kept the staff busy meeting deadlines. No longer is there the chug chug of the Diesel but just the steady throb of the electric locomotives. The Erie has advanced as far as it will go for some time, but the class progresses as the sands of time run on. As seniors we had traditions to live up to, so we threw our- selves into our work. Our first activity was the senior carnival, the Corn Stalk, which was formally announced via a variety show. The class participated in another trip to Wall Street where they spent the morning visiting the New York Stock Exchange and the National City Bank. The afternoon was spent at the Radio City Music Hall where we saw Words and Music and a fine stage show. The class enjoyed the traditional junior-senior picnic, being on the receiving end at last. Our spring senior bridge was presented, and our senior play was produced with astonishing results. And so we boarded our Pullman coach and with much regret moved off to new horizons. xO . ' V i And ThesE Lie FurlhEr Class Prophecy The year: 2000 A.D. The place: along the Erie tracks twelve miles from New York. The action: a jet-train wreck has just taken place and a reporter irom the New York Sun is conversing with a man in his hundreds. Reporter: You say, Mr. Bohn, that the alumnus of the class of ' 49 were killed in the wreck? Mr. Bohn: The proper word is alumni, young man! As I was saying before, they were all oing to a class reunion when ... At this point the bent old man broke into tears. Reporter: Could you please try to pull yourself together and give me some information for the obituary column. Mr. Bohn: I ' ll try, but it ' s such a tragedy that the world should lose so many famous people in one blow. Cam Allen was very undecided when he graduated, so he became a member of the feared Northwest Mounted Police, accumulated a pile of money and scalps of men brought back deader than alive, and retired early to raise polar bears. You ' ve probably heard of his brother Jamie ' Jet ' Allen, who designed a plane with such phenomenal speed that you could leave New York at five o ' clock a. m. and arrive in San Francisco for your yesterday ' s supper. Bobby-Zene Arnold realized her ambition of becoming a housewife soon after graduation from Centenary College. She is famous for her book entitled How (o Become a Housewi e in Ten Easy Lessons. I suppose your wife has spoken to you about a new dress from Kathryn Bayer ' s salon of fine wearing apparel. Her plain pipe racks rival those of the famous Robert Hall. Still undecided after graduation from Princeton, Pete Bennett worked as a mattress tester at Simmons. After this he starred as Rip Van Winkle in a play which thereupon ran for twenty years. Of course, you know of the medical firm which Dave Berry and John Tomec started after graduating from Penn State. As tree surgeons they estab- lished a name known ' round the world with their eye drops for weeping willows. If you ' ve ever watched television, young man, you ' ve probably seen Joan Blumberg, who starred in the great serial program ' John ' s Other Cousin ' s Aunt ' s Wife. ' After training under the great voice teachers of France, Germany, and Italy, Mary Clay returned to the U. S. to work in the Brown Derby as a torch singer. Sheila deVries was billed with the finest stars of yesteryear. Her first play was that passionate production, ' The Loves of Lassie. ' During her tours of the U. S., Margie Eastwick preached the doctrine of socialized medicine. She was converted by a wealthy specialist whom she later married. Ever visit the art museum, young man? Then you ' ve probably seen some of the surrealistic art of Miriam Gittleman. Her paintings have made the works of Dali look like printed diagrams. After completing her secretarial course, Betty Jane Hendershot found herself on a slow boat to China working for an Indian Fakir. Learning Yogi, she was the first woman to stand on her head for twenty-four hours abso- lutely silent. If you ' ve ever been to College High, you ' ve probably seen Jayne Knowlton teaching the finer points of physical education to embryonic teachers. Down The Tracks Then there was Jean Koons who made herself quite lomous with her work on crime and juvenile delinquency. Her work with a ' heater ' made her famous along the lower East Side as ' Pistol Packin Jeannie. ' You don ' t mean to stand there and tell me that you ' ve never heard of John Lamperti, sir! Why he made Emstein look like a plumber in comparison with the Lamperti findings on radioactive bedbugs. Do you ever ride, young man? Oh! Suzanne Lewis was your instructor. I take it you ' ve read her book on riding, The Horse and , Have you read those famous speeches of Art, ' You-Can-Go-To-Tho- North-Pole ' Lobsenz? He made himself a name in the Supreme Court where he defended the Limburger Cheese Company of New Jersey. The case raised quite a stink. Then there was Barbara MacLeod who revolutionized dress designing with her ' way-above-the-knees skirts. ' Oh! you ' ve heard of Mad Malcolm McClintock, the automobile engi- neer. His fenderless, permanently converted convertibles were the rage in 1970 until he went into jazz and ousted Spike Jones. Ever hear of The Donna Pelissier Secretarial School for Bashful Girls? It was the only secretarial school that included judo and jungle tactics in the curriculum. Charles Reilly joined the Naval Air Force after graduation from Col- gate and made a name for himself as the hottest jet pilot ever to fly backwards through the sonic barrier. Then, too. there was Ralph Riehle who became president of General Electric when the p resident died from laughing at one of his unusually funny jokes. Of course you ' ve heard of Warren Seamans, the singing chemist. After discovering an anti-rabies serum for dogs bitten by men, he started the only coyote choir in the great Northwest. Just mention the name of Jean Ellen Silverman to any business man, and he would have immediately asked you how to get to know this shrewd business woman, who has made her mark by selling ovens to the Africans. Doctor William Speer ' s name is famous among the annals of the medical world for his experiment on mosquito brains. He has also found a cure for a disease that hasn ' t been discovered yet. Ever go to the wrestling matches to see Thor ' the Terrible ' Torgersen, who pins his man in five seconds and then preaches a sermon which brings tears to the eyes of the audience? Oh, your little boy goes to the EHzabeth Umbach Kindergarten? Liz was the first woman to combine the kindergartens of the United States into one union. If you ever visit the great northern woods, you will probably see the monument erected to Paul Wert, the friendly forester, who won world renown when he established a home for restless rattlers. Con ' Concepts ' West taught history at M.S.T.C. and then retired on his laurels won from the National Riflery Association. Armed with only a bowie knife, he once hunted bear in Bermuda. Too bad you can ' t see Betty Willetl for your limp, my boy. As a physical therapist she made a specialty of taking the knock out of knock-knees. Now that your editor-in-chief, Janet Woodall, has been killed I suppose the paper will have rough going. She certainly caused a great commotion with her editorials on ' Men Are Inferior. ' Thus ending his tale, the old man sighed and wearily hobbled away. e IMf That ' s a joke, son! Mutt and left. Waitin ' on the Wearie Erie. lames and Joseph of the Janitorial StaH.

THE JUNIOR CLASS Beginning their fifth year at College High, the juniors lost no time in getting down to business. Edward Bixler was chosen president of the eleventh grade in the first homeroom meeting, in which the class immediately began making plans for the year. November 19, the night of the football championship game with Collegiate Acad- emy, the juniors presented a dance named the Pony Prance in honor of the football team. Before the Christmas holidays the juniors held two cake sales to raise funds for their class treasury. Fall field trips were also popular with the eleventh graders, who visited a newspaper plant, a water works, and a soap factory. With the turn of the year the juniors took over the job of editing the Crier. This added responsibility, however, did not deter them from giving another dance in the spring, holding more cake sales, and taking another field trip, this time to a New York department store. In sponsoring the annual junior-senior picnic the class of ' 50 pulled up to their final destination in their biggest year yet at College High.

THE SDPHDMDHE CLASS After three years in the lower hall, the Class of ' 51 graduated to College High ' s second deck and started making plans for a busy year. Class officers were elected at an early homeroom meeting. Arvid Munson was chosen president; Marilyn Sheen, vice-pres- ident; Marilyn Turtle, secretary; and Gilbert Schneidewind, treasurer. Following the example set by the two preceding classes, the tenth grade English class, instructed by Mr. Lawrence Conrad, joined the Teen-Age Book Club. Each month the class read the club ' s selections and gave a group of plays dramatizing the books. Many members of the sophomore class were kept busy taking part in extra-cur- ricular activities this year. Tenth graders saw action in varsity sports, and the class was represented in most of College High ' s other student organizations. In March the sophs gave a dance for the benefit of their class treasury. Good support from other classes helped to make the affair a success. With two more years at College High ahead of them, the Class of ' 51 should prove to be most successful in their future en- deavors as the upperclassmen of C.H.S.

THE FHESHMAIV CLASS A much more subdued and reserved Class of ' 52 embarked upon that treacherous sea of class studies and homework assign- ments in the fall of ' 48. In their Western Culture class, Dr. Ful- comer and Miss Stewart directed the talents of the ninth graders toward the making £)l a project on South America. Having gained artistic virtues from this project, they vol- unteered to further exhibit their abilities in decorating the library for Christmas. At Easter one could still catch a scent of pine issuing forth from the library. In the spring some of the ninth graders took active parts in the college French department ' s annual folklore festival, which was enjoyed by all and was educational as well. Extra-curricular activities saw much ninth grade participation. Freshmen boys added steam and power to varsity athletics, and frosh girls added vim, vigor, and vitality to the Senior Girls ' Athletic Association. The C.H.S. Choir was greatly improved by the supplement of freshmen girls ' voices. Having had a most successful freshman year, the Class of ' 52 has an excellent record to uphold in their remaining years at C.H.S.

Their first project was a hobby show under the direction of Dr. Phipps, their EngUsh teacher. Staged in the Ubrary, the hobby displays ranged anywhere from guinea pigs to stamp albums, and the darling little white mice were quite the rage among the girls and also the cause for a good number of shrieks in the lower hall. Parents, students, and faculty all equally enjoyed the show. As a supplement to class studies, the eighth grade took several field trips. Prom- inent among them was a trip to the Egyptian Room in the Metropolitan Museum of Art where they saw ancient mummies and relics of the past. The social events of the year were not lacking in eighth grade participants; sim- ilarly, the Class of ' 53 was well known throughout the year for its numerous class parties. Having completed two years at C.H.S. so successfully, the eighth grade seems des- tined to be a prosperous and energetic class in their high school years.

SEVEIVTH GRADE Upon entering the lower hall of College High, the seventh g rade students quickly adjusted themselves to the busy school schedule and participated whole-heartedly in the rnain events of the year. A trip to the New York Times book fes- tival initiated their year ' s program of events. Giving stiff competition to the Crier, they edited their own newspaper, The Seventh Grade Star, which continued in good stand- ing throughout the year. In November many underprivileged children profited by their donation of food and clothing, which ranged from warm mufflers to Campbell ' s soups. Before the Christmas vacation they held their traditional Christmas party with Miss Jessie R. Turk as their advisor. Their zealous spirit to lend a hand in sup- porting school projects was evidenced when they sponsored a cake sale to finance an ad for the yearbook. Additional support to school dances and the senior play has proven the seventh grade to be a genial and cooperative group. Wi th the school spirit already imbued in the Class of ' 54, their five future years at College High are certain to be successful.

STUDENT COUNCIL College High would be incomplete without its Student Council; consequently, we all have a great deal of respect for this governing body. To serve on the Council is an honor both esteemed and enjoyable to all its members. With Mr. Arthur Seybold as their director-advisor, the council commended its duties early in the year. Warren Sea- mans, Bill Speer, and Bobbie-Zene Arnold were elected presi- dent, vice-president, and secretary, respectively, by a school- wide vote. Second semester elections were conducted in January, and principal positions were filled by Mary Clay, who was elected president; Dave Berry, vice-president; Janet Woodall, secretary. This year the Student Council has a long list of accom- plishments to its credit. Among them are the planning of Parents ' Day, the supervision of fire drills, the schedu ' ing of school assemblies, and financing the purchase of records for noon-hour dancing. However, perhaps, most worthy of rec- ognition is the Student Council ' s newly established correspond- ence between C.H.S. and an Austrian high school. Winding up their school year with a bang, the Student Council conducted the annual playday, which was held in June. For Foreign Travel In The Club Car FRENCH CLUB At noon hour every second Tuesday it is probable that you ' ll find all aspiring third or fourth year French students at the French Club meeting in room three. On these occa- sions they have a wonderful time being transported to France through the medium of French games and French style foods. Under the direction of Madame Germain Cressey, the French Club has had a most profitable and enjoyable year. In their first meeting they elected Sheila deVries pres- ident, Carol Feisner vice-president, Mary Clay secretary, and John Armstrong treas- urer. In an outstanding and long to be re- membered meeting a committee of members presented a radio play written by them- selves in French. Although none of them professed to be playwrights, the finished product proved to be quite interesting and entertaining. At Christmas the club learned to sing Christmas carols in French, and, of course, they had to sing them with the aid of an appropriate quantity of refreshments. The piece de resistance of this occasion was the crepes suzettes especially prepared by the girls. So that one might distinguish a French Club member, the club purchased red, white, and blue badges with Le Fleur de Lis insignia on them. These badges were made by hand in France, and French Club members proudly sport them on jackets and sweaters. CHmaxing the year ' s events, Le Circle de Francois prepared a dinner in French style complete from Hors d ' Oeuvres to Cafe au lait, which was enjoyed by all these gourmets of French Foods.

Our Times Of Arrival And Departure Are Heralded CRIER Again making a specialty of tracking down any news items at College High as well as passing on the latest classroom rib- ticklers, the editors of the Crier this year have continued to keep their readers well informed on student activities. The Crier is now in its eighteenth consecutive year of publication. Last fall, as usual, the seniors resumed work on the Crier and ground out copy until December. At that time trial editors for 1949 were chosen from the talent available in the junior class. After the first issue, run in Jan- uary under the watchful eye of the retiring seniors, the permanent editors were selected and turned loose to manage the Crier for the rest of the year. John Armstrong was appointed editor-in-chief.

M j J Music Enlightens The Trip With Beauty ORCHESTRA College High ' s orchestra was busy again providing an outlet for the varied talents ex- hibited by its music enthusiasts as v as proved when all membership records were topped this year. Although we may not harbor within our portals any Horowitzes, Tschaikovskys, or Heifitzes, we still have good reason to be proud of our orchestra. In their first public appearance College High ' s music makers gave a recital in an auditorium period for the students. Two other performances were conducted in the spring, one a combined chorus and orchestra concert in May, and the other the annual graduation appear- ance. Indications are, however, that all has not been fiddle-faddle, for this year the musicians, believing that the orchestra should join the ranks of the student-run organizations, elected officers ad student conductors.

COLLEGE HIGH CHOIR This past year has shown increased in- terest in choral work at C.H.S. In the fall the College High Choir, shown above, was organized by Mr. John Craft, newly ap- pointed music director. In addition to auditorium appearances they sang during Christmas time at the Upper Montclair Women ' s Club Christmas program. Not to be forgotten is the Girls ' Chorus, which was organized in January and drew about forty voices from the four upper grades. The combined musical talents of the two choral groups presented a formal concert in May, an event which is to become annual in the school curriculum. Highlighting their year ' s endeavors, the C.H.S. Choir made their yearly appearance at graduation. ABOVE: Mr. John Cralt, director. Are Discovered Along The Highway Of Steel GIRL ' S ATHLETIC ASSDCIATIDN Members of the G.A.A. embarked upon a vigorous athletic program in the fall of 1948 when they held their first meeting and elected Betty Willet, president; Margie East- wick, vice-president; and Janet Woodall, sec- retary. During the fall season, the girls prac- ticed hockey with an eye toward the annual inter-scholastic playday when the College High team would act as hostesses to the Girls ' A.A. teams of Glen Ridge, Montclair, and Caldwell High Schools. After returning from Thanksgiving vaca- tion the Girls ' A.A. began their basketball season. With the coaching of Mrs. Paul Ritter and Miss Pauline Foster the basket- ball team was able to supply a fair share of competition at the annual basketball play- day. During the spring, volley ball and bad- minton were the favorite sports at A.A. After a volley ball playday at Montclair High, the warm weather arrived and so did softball, the sport which annually enlarges the mem- bership of G.A.A. The girls attending A.A. meetings reg- ularly were presented with awards at an assembly in early June, which drew the curtain on a year of many athletic achieve- ments and good times.

' The cheerleaders appeared on the gridiron last fall adorned in snappy new turtle-neck sweaters, the first of a number of improvements which the squad made during the year to acquire that new look. With the advent of the basket- ball season the girls surprised everyone with their new black corduroy jumpers (the up-to-date longer length, of course) and yellow blouses. Coached by Captain Mary Clay throughout the year, the squad gave numerous pep rallies at strategic times to tune up a good roar from the black and gold sidelines. ABOVE: Subsfifutes, Susan Grieves and Jean Hyde. Signals From The Pony Express For the third consecutive year Mike Stanish coached College High ' s six-man football team, and for the third consecutive year the Ponies won the Metropolitan Con- ference championship. However, for the first time in three years the Ponies were dropped from the ranks of the undefeated and broke a sixteen-game winning streak. The team, led all season by Captain Dave Berry, opened with three decisive vic- tories over Fieldston, Morningside, and Wardlaw. C.H.S. met its first real competition of the season when it fought its way to a 6-0 win over McBurney. But in the return bout, a non-conference tilt with that same school, ' the Ponies were defeated 27-14. Winding up the season by playing Collegi- ate for the conference crown, the team rallied to a 26-14 victory. The season ' s score results were 224 points for C.H.S. against 47 for their opponents.

BASKETBALL For the first time in College High ' s history the Ponies were entered in a basketball conference and became one of the eight small prep schools to join the North Jersey Ivy League. The team finished fourth in the league having won eight games and lost ten. With George McGiness and John Bell as co-coaches, the squad opened the season victoriously by trouncing the alumni, but they lost the next time out in a close encounter with Caldwell. The black and gold then opened their conference schedule with four straight wins over Wardlaw, Stevens Academy, Oratory Prep., and St. Bernards, the last gome being a double overtime thriller. In the next seven games the Ponies lost two contests with Delbarton and two more with Morristown Prep, and Eastern Academy but conquered again Stevens Academy, St. Bernards, and Wardlaw. C.H.S. lost its last five games, four of these by one-point margins, thus winding up at fourth place in conference standing. Tie Down The ValvG, We ' re Hnllin BASEBALL College High experienced a rather disappointing season on the baceball diamond in 1948. Even with the fine coaching of Mike Stanish, the team tallied a final record of one win and eight losses. C.H.S. opened the season by playing Morristown School, an occasion when the black and gold did not come out on top. The final score, if we must recall it, was 13-0. In the following game, Delbarton won a closely contested game with the count at 4-3. Wardlaw and Eastern Academy were the next to victimize C.H.S. in low scoring games. The tide turned, however, for the Stevens Academy game in late April when the Ponies racked up 13 runs against 7 Stevens tallies. The Wardlaw, Morristown, and Delbarton games were not successful; need we say more? As the final game and foremost disappointment of the year, Chatham defeated the Ponies, 11-9, in a game marked by eight C.H.S.
