Craft, whose magnetic personality and undying effort have made the College High Chorus an organization of which we are truly proud. Although Mr. Craft has been at C.H.S. only two years, he has become a loyal friend to everyone. Therefore it is only fitting that we, the Class of ' 50, in behalf of the entire student body, extend some tangible evidence of our sincere appreciation for all that Mr. Craft has done. JOHN W.

The class of 1950 has decided to continue the tradition of publishing a yearbook for two reasons. The first is to enable us, at the turn of a page, to come back to our old haunts in College High . . . the locker rooms, team busses, the library, the Crier office and the football field. The second reason is because we would like to be remembered by the faculty and undergraduates, who, together, helped to turn out such a wonderful class. The 1950 staff would like to thank all the con- tributors and purchasers who have made it possible for us to take this piece of C.H.S. with us as we leave.

John has come to be regarded as a leader, first by his classmates, and ultimately by everyone. His energetic participatio n in sports, as well as in other activities, has never kept him from making a place on the honor roll. It might be fitting to wish John the best of luck but somehow we don ' t think he ' ll need it.

SENI Robert Vaugban Berry Always keep them laughing is Bob ' s constant hue and cry. He can usually be seen laughing himself into, or occasionally out of, embarrassing situations. With his ability to get everyone into a jovial mood, Bob is a welcome figure at all class parties. He has put his size to good use in football, as well as basket- ball and baseball. We ' re sure that with his sense of humor he will make a large place for himself wherever he may go.

Bixlei Ed ' s initiative, supported by hard work, has been a driving force in the class of ' 50. These qualities, whether applied to studies or sports and other extra- curricular activities, have long made him indispensable. His neat, well-dressed appearance and smooth dancing, plus the possession of a mellow tenor voice, have made him the subject of much feminine conversation.

Hteh 1950 VuM JAary Rose Brownson Although usually busy with her own active pro- gram, Polly can always find time to help others with their problems. In a quiet and unobtrusive manner, she has always supported class and school activities. Tales of her latest experiences are always received with much enthusiasm and laughter. Studies have never been a problem and with Polly ' s sincere, friendly per- sonality we can see nothing but a bright future ahead of her.

Eddie Polly Judith 7 iargaret Clinch Although she has never had a lesson in her life, Judy is acknowledged to be one of the most graceful dancers in the school. Her collection of hit tunes, old or new, has been put to good use, both in class and out, for whether it ' s a Charleston or a Glen Miller special, you can be. sure it will be found among her famous favorites. A trim figure and a sweet smile for all are things that make Judy an A-l girl.

Up on the latest dance steps, Cynthia can be seen demon- strating them quite frequently during noontime dance sessions in the gym. Enthusiastically participating in everything, Cynthia certainly has proved the state- ment that Good things come in small packages. Class Vice-President, 7; Crier; Yearbook; Girls ' A.

He has fascinated us by illustrating many reports with original models of farms, buildings, etc. George has gone after his goal with a steady and continuing interest, and since we have all found him friendly and easy to get along with, we are sure he will achieve his aim.

Injecting into all our classes an alert and witty personality, we can depend on her to keep us awake. With such vivaciousness it is no wonder that Gwen is a grand cheerleader. Slowing down occasionally to get her breath, Gwen finds time for some serious thought and good work.

She enters into all activities with a gay, enthusiastic spirit. Perhaps this is why her name is always men- tioned first whenever a committee (usually refresh- ment) is in need of a competent chairman. Carolyn ' s is a leading voice among the cheerleaders as well as in the soprano section of the chorus. Finding someone to replace her will keep College High busy for a long time.

Carolyn Carol SENIORS Carolyn TAargaret 7eisner Combine blond hair, a nice figure, a sense of humor, and an amiable disposition and you have Carol ' s recipe for popularity. Add artistic talent, an alert mind, and an amazing quality of leadership and you have three more reasons why Carol has been indis- pensable to C.H.S. Assuming many responsibilities and doing a thoroughly fine job in all of them, Carol has met the challenge of more than her share of tasks.

She can usually be seen with some form of literature from the depth of Shelley and Keats to the latest Ellery Queen mystery novel. Dione is a neat and conscientious worker and can be depended upon for anything, and the honor roll can always bank on having Dione Foosaner among its might. Dramatic Club, 10; Chorus, 11, 12. High 1950 Pixie Qretchen Qanow A happy combination of beauty, brains and winning ways is Pixie. She doesn ' t have to announce herself for her presence is soon felt. Whether on class com- mittees or extracurricular affairs — she is a must. Her dark wavy hair and slender figure are the envy of many and her spirited cheerleading has helped urge the Ponies on to victory. Lucky the college that ac- quires Pixie for a student and lucky the boys that go to that college. Class Vice-President, 8; Class Treasurer, 12; Cheerleader, 11, 12; Girls ' A. A.

The least little thing is her signal tor an open house and her house has been just that. Besides being a grand hostess, Barbara manages to place near the top of the class scholastically. The latest records and styles are Barbara ' s hobbies and with her happy-go-lucky philosophy we ' re positive she can ' t miss.

Barb Qohia SENIORS Qolda Qittleman Possessing the unbeatable combination of dark curly hair and sparkling black eyes, Golda is a mighty smart looking girl, and in her case beauty isn ' t just skin deep, for she is every bit as smart as she looks. Having an easy-going attitude and a straight honor roll record, Golda is the object of our many excitedly asked questions about the impossible homework or test. Patiently and good naturedly she explains and we find ourselves always, gratefully awed at her wisdom.

She is the mainstay of the violin section of the orchestra and has for two years lent her fine voice to the tenor section of the chorus. Her prodigious knitting is but an example of all that she faithfully plugs at. Girls ' Athletics and her sincere interest in school work as well as music have all been well rewarded.

Hiah 1950 Stretch •Hon Douglas Wesson Uawes Whether it ' s in a hot debate, on the football field, or just anywhere, preceding his contagious laugh with a Hawes original joke, Doug ' s booming voice won ' t let us forget he ' s around. Doug, the class joker, is quite a card, an ace in sports, jack of all trades, and always following the queens. No matter now you cut the deck Doug will always be on top.

Having filled these posts more than capably he has made a success of both jobs. These positions entail a lot of work and a personality par excellence and Bob has shown us he has these qualities. In all his undertakings, be they sports or other activities, he demonstrates a determined will to get things done that will be invaluable to him in life.

SENIORS Jeff Joseph Jeffries, ffl No class party or concert could be complete without a few numbers from the gifted fingers of our piano virtuoso, Jeff. We like nothing better than to hear him give out with anything from classics to bop, besides being a card shark and a fast man with the slide rule in Senior math. Jeff is the class ' s male version of a shutter-bug. What more can we say?

Her quick retorts have not only stimulated many chuckles but they have kept the class in line on various occasions. Drama is Helen ' s forte and whenever acting, the audience is hers, for she uses her talent to the best advantage. But whether it ' s on the stage or off Helen ' s last bows at College High will not be forgotten.

High Jonesie ■Hekmarie Helen Marie Xir singer Whether it ' s a swimming race or a beauty contest, Helen Marie is bound to take the first prize. The reason for this is that she has combined athletic abil- ity, good looks, pep and personality to make herself a perfect cheerleader and an all-round girl. Her in- terests vary from sports to an extensive record collec- tion to the fancy socks she knits. Versatile and friendly Helen Marie can be depended upon to win the race of life.

Al- though never without this attitude, when it comes to debating Donna can ' t be beaten. Give her any topic, pro or con, and she ' ll emerge the victor. If Donna ' s interest in horses is rewarded as her other activities (studies, sports) she will soon be covered with blue ribbons.

Allan Russell A red convertible and alternately long and short blond hair, together with fine athletic ability all go into making Al a handy man to have around. AI, com- peting in all major sports, has been a flash on the playing field as well as off. He was our first class president in seventh grade and has consistently pitched in to class and school affairs with the same vigor ever since.

A class affair without Beverly ' s able assistance would be like a ship without a sail. Not forgetting her artistic touch when it comes to good looking clothes, she is College High ' s answer to Glamor, Inc. As if these attributes weren ' t enough Beverly also has a certain habit of generously decorat- ing her report card with A ' s. Crier; Yearbook; Girls ' A.

About as brainy as they come, he thinks nothing of knocking off 100% on a physics exam, but do n ' t get the idea he ' s stuffy. When it comes to playing the guitar and vocalizing one of Gene Autry ' s best, he has no equal. In being president of the Senior class Cap has shown qualities of leadership which assure him of a suc- cessful future.

The only senior girl brave enough to tackle physics, she has outshone the boys in their own field. Despite her flaming red hair, Jenepher is very quiet and unobtrusive. You would never know she was around except for the fact that she is very attractive, a hard worker, smart, and generally a person anyone would like to know.

Always mentioned when there ' s a tough job to be done — it was no surprise when she was chosen Yearbook Editor by her classmates. Trying to live down the stereotype that blondes are beautiful but dumb, Cynthia has always been right near the top of the class scholasti- cally.

We do hereby give and bequeath : To Mr. Seybold, a pogo stick To Miss Caliandro, a slip (late, that is) To Mr. DeRosa, enough money to buy his own pogo stick To Mrs. Winchester, a Fifth Avenue Bus to transport her seventh graders around in To Mr. Craft, a box of Georgia Crackers To Dr. Moffatt, a parrot whose vocabulary consists of two words, That ' s right To Mr. Conrad, another Joke, Please Laugh sign To Mrs. Tish, seventeen stainless steel gym suits unconditionally guar- anteed To Mr. Bohn, one slightly grizzled toupe To Mme. Cressey, a set of unbuttonable buttons To John Callichio, a seven-foot center with an I.Q. To Miss Kuhnen, a frog with a zippered stomach To Mr. Mostert, some really stale cake from the Pharaoh ' s tomb To Joe, a wheel chair with a broom attached To Jimmy, a new assistant To Dr. Young, a portable elevator to go up the Matterhorn To John Bell, one bull whip To Dr. Gooden, a pair of binoculars To Dr. Davis, a police whistle To Dr. Wittmer, a 100-year subscription to the Daily Worker To the Juniors, all our sympathy and old answer books. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand, this first day of June, in the year of our Lord, 1950. THE CLASS OF 1950 21 OIlasB If tBiorg Of course, every graduating class thinks that it is the Best Class to ever attend College High and we the Class of ' 50 are no exception. We do not think you will be easy to convince, therefore, on these two pages is written our proof. We entered C.H.S. way back in September, 1944 as shyly as was expected of us. This was .shortlived, however, because we pretty well knew what was ahead of us from our nine brothers and sisters in the upper grades. Our first get-together was a Halloween costume party at Doug ' s. After weeks of ha d work the traditional Christmas pageant and party for our mothers were successfully presented. Our school work was highlighted by a trip to the Museum of Natural History with Dr. Link and the preparation of Homer ' s Odyssey under Mr. Nickerson ' s guidance. This radio play was never presented and consequently Broadway never knew what it missed. In our Pants for France drive we collected and sent used clothing to Lyons, France. Our first year was fittingly ended by a week-end at Highpoint, never forgotten by us nor by Mrs. Winchester. Yes, we knew we would like it at College High. Class spirit was born in us in eighth grade. Playing both six and eleven man football, the boys challenged several Montclair and Paterson schools. At one of these games, to the surprise of everyone, six pint-sized cheerleaders showed up in yellow sweaters and did some pretty unique cheering. To establish a treasury the class sold candy at school games. In connection with our study of Astronomy in science class, Mrs. Lehmkuhl took us to the Planetarium in New York. When spring came the eighth graders took to the great outdoors and could be seen playing baseball at the slightest provocation until such things as gashed arms and brain concussions stopped this over-strenuous exercise. Mr. Fox directed our first stage play, The Early Worm, which went over with a big bang, even if the script was practically disregarded. And then we were freshmen. We journeyed through Harlem with Miss Stewart, our Western Culture teacher, to climax our study of the American Negro. Our next project was the presenta- tion of a radio play, Uncle Sam and the King ' s English. This was a double treat since we not only spoke but sang. After finally securing the permission to be the first freshman class ever to give a dance, The Calico Capers, was presented and it was said to be the best dance ever given up to that time. Feeling quite grown up with a substantial treasury in our possession we left College High again for the summer vacation. In tenth grade we had one of our busiest years. In English class we joined the Teen Age Book Club. Five dramatizations of the books a month were given by the class. The most well remembered is Fighting Fool which barely left the auditorium standing. Seeing that we had so much dramatic talent, Mr. Conrad let us have an amateur show at the end of the year. This show was highlighted by a black-faced routine and a dance in gay-nineties bathing suits. A field trip was taken by the biology class to the Bronx Zoo and to the World Premiere of the Arch of Triumph by the French Class. When the class rings arrived with a new and different crest on them, we really felt like upper-classmen. The Heart Beat, our Valentine ' s dance, outdid our last dance in decorations, but as the streets were covered with ice, there were about 30 people and half an orchestra. Needless to say our bank book took a nose dive. We presented The Bathroom Door, a one-act play directed by Mr. Fox. Al brought down the house with his one line, Wot ' s up? In the fall of our junior year we gave a football dance, The Pony Prance. AH the teams of the Metropolitan Conference were invited to see the presentation of the trophy to the C.H.S. captain. The dance was a huge success and we made fifty-seven cents on it. Dr. Young took us to New York to see Hamlet, which we had been studying. Then after much preparation, the French students took part in the M.S.T.C. French festival. The second dance the juniors gave, the Carousel, was even a bigger hit than the previous affair with an unusually large crowd. The chemistry class took three trips: to the Lederle Laboratories, the Colgate Palmolive Peet Company in Jersey City and to the Little Falls Water Works, where Polly ' s shoe fell in a water basin. To end the year, the Junior-Senior picnic was held at Cynthia ' s summer cottage at Cran- berry Lake. Even the seniors admitted that it was better than the one they had given the year before. And we were seniors before we knew it. As the seniors befor e us, we gave a carnival. In advertisement of The Last Straw a never-to-be-forgotten variety show was slapped together by the seniors and given in the aud. The comment was Revolutionary! At the carnival Dr. Partridge led the entire group in folk games and square dancing. The profit netted was the largest ever at such an affair at C.H.S. When it was all over we went up to Eagle Rock and threw pumpkins down to hear them pop. We made the annual visit to Mr. Bohn ' s house Halloween night. But beforehand, six or seven stops were made at unsuspecting teachers ' homes where several garbage cans and flagstone sidewalks were transplanted. Our trips were many, including a trip to the U.N., the New York Stock Exchange, The Town Meeting of the Air and an all day trip to the State Legislature in Trenton. When the juniors took over the Crier we began to work on the Yearbook. As you can see this work was well rewarded. The Senior bridge raised a goodly sum to add to the Scholarship Fund. For this same purpose we gave the Senior Play, under Mr. Bohn ' s direction, which topped all our dramatical efforts, impossible as it may seem. And then came graduation. Our six years had gone by as if it were six days. Only one grueling task is left — for each of us to sign 144 yearbooks. 23 1. [Head couple forward and back 2. Simple-ton 3. Trench test next hour 4.

This was the year they were to give two dances and take over the Crier, plus many other extracurricular ac- tivities. But all these things did not keep them from leading the school with honor students for the first marking period. The class elected Gil Schneidewind as president and proceeded to make plans for raising money toward the treasury. Two cake sales were given. The class also sold sweat shirts. The Winter Whirl, the juniors ' first dance of the year, was presented in December. This dance proved to be a financial success as well as a lot of fun. The juniors supported the athletic teams as well as the chorus and orchestra with almost the entire class participating in either of the latter two organizations. The group also went on two field trips in the fall; the chemistry class going to a water works and some of the class going to a stage play, Shake Hands With the Devil, in New York City. In the latter half of the school year the juniors gave another dance, and sponsored the annual junior-senior picnic in June. Thus the class tapped a productive year, consisting of both work and play in their biggest year so far at College High.

After a busy summer, the tenth graders returned to College High and got accustomed to their quarters on the second floor. They immediately elected class officers and settled down to a year of hard work. Chet Volski was elected class president; Winnie Shank, vice-president; Maureen Craig, secretary; Jimmy Smart, treasurer and Lyman Seamans was named Stu- dent Council Representative. The main projects of the year were the dance and the membership in the Teen-Age Book Club. Under the direction of Lawrence H. Conrad, the class chose committees and dramatized many of the books received from the club. TJie first class dance, which was given in March, was a great success. Another important event was the selection of a class ring. This aroused an interest in- college and prepara- tion for college. Many relevant talks were given on this subject in the English classroom. The sophomores took an active part in almost all of College High ' s activities. The boys added pep to all of the teams and the girls were active in the G.A.A. All members of the class were represented in the chorus and other organizations. The class went on many interesting and educational field trips. Finishing a very successful year the sophomore class has continued to live up to its past reputation.

Electing Murry Schmaier president, the class pro- ceeded to plan for the second dance ever given by a ninth grade class at College High. Successfully put over in February, the class derived much enjoyment from experiencing their first venture into high school night life. With the class members contributing toward all extracurricular activities, the class was well represented on the varsity athletic teams, the girls ' A.A., the Chorus and Orchestra, and the Crier, and worked to make the electric scoreboard a realization. Academically speaking, the freshmen became guinea pigs for an experimental course in Business and Eco- nomics, taught by Mr. Horace Shippard. Mr. Kops ' Social Studies class was kept hopping with studies of the British Empire and the Far East with subse- quent projects in each. Throughout the year at all the games the frosh were actively adding to their class treasury by selling re- freshments to spectators.

On that trip they not only saw the book display but the entire museum. The seventh grade is always represented at the dances and participates whole heartedly in any sale or donation. One of their projects was a sale of orna- ments to aid China ' s relief. A second field trip was taken to Trenton. There the class visited such historical spots as the State House and the State Museum. Still another part of the seventh grade ' s program was a Christmas celebration. The library, their home- room, was decorated according to tradition and a pageant and party were held for the parents under the supervision of Mrs. Winchester. Such school spirit will take the class of ' 55 far. 32 y. C6 n . ,k s€s Jt AJ t tvvp.

Standing— left to right: Bob Hunziker, Fred Schilling, Martin Rosenblatt. This year ' s Student Council, with repre- sentatives from each class and officers elected by the whole school, met each week with Mr. Seybold to settle any problems that arose concerning the student body. In September after the voting, it was announced that John Armstrong was elected president, Bob Berry, vice-president,, and Jean Richards secretary. The first job the council had was ' to plan interesting and educational assemblies for the school. They also had to appoint a commit- tee to direct the fire drills, under the super- vision of John Armstrong. The problems of the first fire drill were studied and the plans that were made resulted in future efficiency. A list was compiled of names and addresses of C.H.S. students who wanted to corre- spond with Austrian students from a school that C.H.S. had adopted in 1948. For the second semester the students elected Doug Hawes, president; Arvid Munson, vice- president and Carol Feisner, secretary. These leaders continued to do their utmost to im- prove the conditions existing in and around College High. 34 COLLEGE HIGH CRIER Every three weeks all the news and bits of gossip are collected by scurrying underclass- men, called reporters. This, together with a few timely words of advice and the latest sports events, is assembled by a group of seniors, known as Editors. A few days later this information appears for all to read in the College High Crier, a student run paper which has been in existence for nineteen years. The publication duties were turned over to the class of 1950 in January of 1949. John Armstrong, as Editor-in-Chief, proceeded to select the following staff: News, Bob Hun- ziker; Make-up, Carol Feisner; Proof and Copy, Jenepher Walker; Headlines, Donna Maxwell and Mary Brownson; Re-write, Bar- bara Garlick; Sports, Doug Hawes; Features, Bob Berry and Bev Sahlin; Hi-Lites, Cynthia Wallace; Alumni, Cynthia Cooper; Exchange, Carolyn Fay; and Photography, Jeff Jeffries. Malcolm McClintock, retiring editor, acted, for the remainder of the school year, as the student advisor of the staff. It was in Septem- ber 1949 that the staff published the first issue on their own. The editors, in 1950, turned over the work on the Crier to the juniors. They were sorry to have to relinquish their jobs, but they had to make room for many new tasks.

Choral activities at College High reached an all- time high during the 1949-1950 school season. The College High Choir for the second year under the direction of Mr. John Craft was larger than ever before in its history. The choir participated in several auditorium pro- grams including those at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Following the tradition started by the choir of the preceding year, the group sang at the Christmas pro- gram given by the Woman ' s Club of Upper Mont- clair. Also combined with other musical groups of the school they presented College High ' s second annual Spring Concert. It is the sincere hope of the whole choir that in following years the Spring Concert will continue to remain a fine tradition that it has become in these two short years. This choral group was responsible for another first in College High ' s history when it participated in an auditorium given for the College Students, and also gave a concert in various schools in the vicinity. As a fitting climax to their well-rounded year of singing, the choir made its yearly appearance at the Com- mencement exercises. 36 THE ORCHESTRA At noon, each Monday and Wednesday, the orches- tra can be found in the auditorium attacking their music with enthusiastic vigor. The group, under the direction of Mr. Zerbe, has greatly improved its play- ing this year. At the first meeting the student-run organization elected officers. Arvid Munson took over the president position, while Dieter Gump served as vice-president, Robert Magnus as secretary-treasurer and Karn Griffin, librarian. With Mr. Zerbe, the officers planned several concerts throughout the year. The music makers made their debut at the annual Christmas assembly. For their solo number they played a medley from the opera Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck. Then, they joined the chorus in bring- ing the audience traditional Christmas carols. The second spring concert given by the music de- partment was the orchestra ' s greatest achievement. The orchestral selections played were the product of weeks of practice. The money procured by the orchestra at the concert was used to purchase a much needed French Horn to be added to their permanent collec- tion of instruments. Their performance in the solemn and impressive Baccalaureate and Commencement programs climaxed the year for the much enjoyed College High orchestra.

To encourage the members to speak French and to learn more about the customs of France are the main purposes of the French Club. Many members of the school, under the guidance of Madame Germaine Cressey, assembled in October for the first meeting at which plans were made for future activities. The Club decided to meet the first and third Mondays of each month to play various French games, learn a little historical back- ground of the Country, and enjoy a rather unusual extra-curricular activity. At the next meeting the members elected Pixie Ganow, president; Barbara Garlick, vice-president; John Armstrong, secretary, and Carol Feis- ner, treasurer. Arrangements were made for a gala Christmas party at Barbara Garlick ' s home. The soiree was highlighted by a one- act play written and presented in French by the seniors. Added to this were several French Christmas stories, and as a comparison an American and French child ' s Christmas. After refreshments the party concluded with the group singing French Christmas Carols. Before the Lenten season a Mardi-Gras party was held. All of the members, super- vised by Madame Cressey, prepared crepe suzettes several different ways. The Club concluded its meetings feeling as- sured that they had advanced in the direction of understanding the French people and their customs. 38 UNITED WORLD FEDERALISTS Beginning its first complete year, College High ' s United World Federalist Chapter began with many plans and ideas to push the club to the forefront in high school activities. The membership drive met with great suc- cess; the group received their national United World Federalist Charter in January. The highlight of the fall semester was a speech by Dr. John G. Kememy of Princeton Univer- sity to the school assembly in December on world government. Participating in a country-, wide U.W.F. rally in April at Newark, the College High chapter functioned widely in all Federalist affairs. May saw the Federalists sponsor their second annual world peace dance. The officers for the year were Jean Hyde, president, Marilyn Sheen, vice-president- secretary, and Barbara Levitsky, treasurer. The Membership Committee was headed by Ralph Thompson, while Barbara Pick took charge of Publicity. Barbara Levitsky led the Fund Committee, Jean Hyde was chairman of the Field Committee, and Marilyn Sheen head of the Study group. The United World Federalists blossomed forth with many interesting ideas to make this club a permanent fixture at C.H.S.

Winning its fourth straight Metropolitan Conference championship, College High ' s six- man combine trampled all opponents to wind up with a spotless slate. Coached by John Callichio, the Ponies had little trouble re- taining their title. The Pony sextet opened its season by crushing Collegiate 32-0 at Montclair. ' The second game, which proved to be the tough- est of the season, saw McBurney jump off to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter only to be caught by C.H.S., which produced a 30-22 victory. Fieldstone and Hun school were the next victims of the Pony juggernaut, both succumbing by lopsided scores. The final game of the campaign, played against Col- legiate on a rainswept New York gridiron, saw the Ponies come back from a 6-0 deficit to triumph 19-6. Strong team play punctuated all the Mont- clair victories during the campaign. Without an outstanding star, the Ponies relied on a diversified attack to conquer all opposition. The final tally showed that College High rolled up a total of 164 points against a mere 34 for its opponents. 42 BASKETBALL -left to ritjbt -lejt to right: Chet Volski, John . Bob Rotberg, Doug Ha n Russell, Ralph Thompson and Bob Hunz Gil Schneidewind, and George Haupt. Under the tutelage of coach John Callichio, the C.H.S. court combine competed for the second straight season in the North Jersey Ivy League. Opening the year with three non-confer- ence games, the Ponies defeated the Alumni before losing two decisions to Caldwell and Chatham. In two league encounters with Mor- ristown Prep and Stevens, the Black and Gold emerged victorious. Dropping the next four games, all in Ivy League competition, the Ponies suffered their worst slump of the cam- paign. C.H.S. , however, climbed back into the win column by winning two of the next three games. In one of the big upsets of the season, the Ponies defeated Delbarton by one point. Wardlaw fell for the second time before the Ponies, but the C.H.S. victory skein was abruptly halted by Caldwell. Rebounding from this setback, the Ponies captured their next two games. The season reached its high point on March 1st when the Ponies defeated their arch-rivals, Montclair Academy, by two points in overtime. Eastern Academy defeated C.H.S. in the final contest of the year. Lanky Gil Schneidewind, Pony center, set a new school record by tallying 273 markers for the season. This topped the previous mark of 227 held by Don Baer ' 45. C.H.S. again finished fourth in Ivy League standings and had a record of over .500 for the first time in five years. 43 BASEBALL Back Ro r— left to right: Doug Haves, Ralph Thompson, Neil Linden Per Saverstrom, Bob Berry.

Bob Hunziker, Maurice Schn Building for the future, under co-coaches John Bell and George Maginess, the Ponies suffered a disappointing diamond campaign, winning two and losing five. The season began conspicuously, against Stevens Prep, with Dave Berry hurling a sparkling no-hitter, while the Pony batsmen were pounding Engineer pitchers for a total of thirteen markers. Following the encounter, however, Montclair ' s fielding fell off sharply, losing three consecutive contests to Oratory, Delbarton and St. Bernard ' s. Travelling to Morristown in early May the Ponies pulled the biggest upset of the campaign by downing the Prepsters 5-3, in a game punctuated by John Lamperti ' s clutch pitching. Eastern Academy and Wardlaw, College High ' s final two opponents, also turned back the Ponies, capitalizing on Montclair ' s frequent fielding lapses. The Ponies look to be a greatly improved club this season because of the experience gained from last vear ' s games. 44 CHEERLEADERS Coached by Helen Marie Kirsinger, the most able captain the College High Cheer- leaders have ever had, the squad began its 1949-1950 season by giving a vigorous pep rally in the gym before the first football game. Since then, the girls, in their black and yellow uniforms, could be seen cheering the team on to the end, whether it be victory or defeat. New cheers were added and old ones handed down from previous years were revised to add pep to the game time-outs. The cheering squad gave much time and energy to boost the spirit of the team and school. Without them, any contest, on field or court, would have seemed incomplete. In the spring at the annual awards assem- bly the cheerleaders were rewarded with letters and, for the first time in C.H.S. his- tory, they were also given small silver mega- phones, in recognition of a job well done.

Under the direction of Mrs. Robert Tish, the Girls ' Athletic Association opened its ath- letic program for the year 1949-1950 with the election of officers at the first meeting. Donna Maxwell was named president; Jean Hyde, vice-president; Jenepher Walker, second vice- president, and Marilyn Sheen, secretary. After hard weeks of practice in the fall, the girls played hostess to Montclair High, Glen Ridge, and Caldwell High for the inter- scholastic hockey playday. The end of the Thanksgiving vacation found them again hard at practice, this time in preparation for the basketball playday at Glen Ridge and for the game with the M.S.T.C. freshmen. The end of the basketball season brought volley ball and badminton into the spotlight, climaxed by a playday at Montclair High. With the warm weather came softball and the urge to get out of doors and practice the various skills needed for the softball playday at Caldwell High. The year closed with the distribution of awards. The traditional attendance bars were given out and for the first time silver basket- balls were awarded to team members. So ended another year of good times and athletic activities of the Mares. 46 VARSITY CLUB Coming on the scene late in November 1949, the College High Varsity M Club was added to the list of active organizations during the past term. The group was a culmination of the ob- viously increasing need for a College High lettermen ' s organization; the first of its kind in the history of the school. Originally started as the sponsor of the electric scoreboard, the club took on added duties as the year pro- gressed. Toward this end the Varsity Club raised a large sum from the proceeds of their De- cember dance, the Varsity Drag staged in Russ Hall, and generally ran the affairs of the successful scoreboard fund. It was decided at a January meeting to obtain a bronze plaque, to be placed on the electric tally sheet, giving particulars about the instrument. Long range plans were discussed for new baseball uniforms for the varsity squad and larger football and baseball schedules. The subject of becoming a member of the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association in basketball and baseball were also included in the list of long term ideas to be developed. A growing part of College High ' s activi- ties, the Varsity M Club will surely become a leader in future C.H.S. activities.
