Contained in this book are the serious and comical events which led to the completion of a solid high school education. It is hoped that this book will also recall to those remaining at College High the accom- plishments of this class. We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to all those who have helped to make this book possible. 37 2) .A 3 967 Someone to Watch Over Me MRS. MOLLIE C. WINCHESTER Librarian MR. HAROLD C.

As we come to the close of six profitable years at College High, we realize the many benefits which we have been privi- leged to receive from our director. We have constantly felt his sincere interest in our welfare. By setting a fine example of character, Mr. Seybold, for seventeen years, has led students to greater heights and has inspired them, through careful guidance, to develop their potentialities. In trouble we have foimd aid and sympathy; in accomplishment, praise and encouragement. This influence will live with us as we face, with confidence and hope, a challenging world. As a small token of our appreciation, we, the class of ' 51, dedi- cate this yearbook to our beloved director . . . ARTHUR M. SEYBOLD. Whether it be a dance, carnival, or cake sale, we can always count on Jane for a flashy poster. Besides being easy on the eyes, Jane shows unusual talent in the field of sports. Her elec- tion to the presidency of the Athletic Association has confirmed this. Jane ' s presence at all our athletic events and her numerous activities have shown that she is brimming over with school spirit. Her unobtrusive manner has won her many lifelong friends at Col- lege High.

Noted for her artistic talent Usually seen ..drawing pictures in class Likes swimming Pet peeve shoes A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody BARBARA BRUCKNER 18 Old Quarry Rd. Upper Montclair Some may consider Barbara a wee bit scatter-brained, but when it comes to giving a history report on politics and politicians (Republicans, that is), no one could be more factual and down-to-earth than Barbara. Rain or shine, her sunny disposition never changes. Barbara is the kind of gal for whom College High has long been noted. Those many charming ways, so typical of her, will long be remember- ed. We, the class of ' 51, wish Barbara every success. Class Treasurer 9; French Club 11, 12.

Noted for her Dewey fan club Usually seen in a dither Likes Republicans Pet peeve people with memories Ain ' t She Sweet Whether your joke is good, bad, or indifferent,, Nancy will listen, and what ' s more, she ' ll laugh, too. We all envy Nancy for her reading ability, capabil- ity, and just about any other ability you can name. We honestly don ' t know how our class, wonderful as it is, could ever have managed without Nancy. Whether it is a class commit- tee or the yearbook staff, if Nancy is participating, it can ' t help but be a suc- cess. Nancy ' s shining strawberry blond hair and her ever-neat appearance are among her many per- sonal qualities.

Quote Really? ? ? Noted for her progressive parents Usually seen going home Likes reading Pet peeve brussels sprouts 10 Sweet Sixteen JOHN DLUHY 14 Hillcrest Avenue Clifton John is the wrestler of the class, knowing all the holds from the arm- lock to the half-nelson. When John isn ' t banging his opponent ' s head on the floor, he is busy with school activities. Some of these school activities include work in both the Crier and the Year- book, and also lending his voice to the C. H. S. chorus. We ' ll never get over John ' s driving exploits, which whiten even the hair of veteran drivers. We predict that you ' ll hear a lot about John Boom-Boom Dluhy in the future.

Noted for hitting clinkers in chorus Usually seen arguing with Karp Likes . . chaises-longues Pet peeve Louella Oh Johnny ' 11 Warren will always be remembered for his lemon-zine and his prowess on the gridiron. After entering C. H. S. in his junior year, his leadership soon became apparent to his associates, as is attested by the fact of his ultimate election to the presidency of our class. Warren ' s tales of the activities in North Arlington have opened our eyes to the problems of a typical community. His good nature and affable ways will insure his popularity in the future. WARREN EASTWICK 19 Melrose Avenue North Arlington Class President 12; Football 11, 12; Varsity Club 11, 12. Quote Where ' s Dariel? Noted for his hot-rod Usually seen with Dariel Likes Dariel Pet peeve arguing 12 Solid As A Rock BARBARA J. FENTON 55 Highland Avenue Glen Ridge Barbara has always been one of the more reserved members of the class. Her school spirit and dependability will long be remembered. Barbara hopes to attend Cedar Crest college next fall, and she plans to major in mathematics. Her ultimate plan is to become a math teacher. Barbara ' s proficiency with the knitting needles has been observed with envy by her classmates. She can speak on a variety of subjects, both local and international, to which she adds a keen viewpoint characteristi- cally her own. -«« ak- 55, French Club 12; Chorus 11, 12; Girls ' A.A. 10, 11. Quote Oh, blow a fuse. Noted for taking senior math Usually seen in the Library Likes knitting Pet peeve cars that won ' t start Busy As A Bee 13 A rare Combination of beauty and brains belongs to Susan. Since the seventh grade, Susan has been a spark plug, eagerly participating in the ex- tra-curricular activities of the school. Many were the times when we listened, fascinated by the description of her newest flame. Her marvelous sense of humor bolsters the class morale so much that we are never depressed when Susan is near by. Susan, hav- ing so many abilities, finds it diffi- cult to make up her mind about her career. However, we are sure that her attractive personality and poise will assure her success in what- ever endeavor she chooses.

GUMP 643 Grove Street Upper Montclair When you observe Dieter at a party you wouldn ' t believe us if we told you he could solve problems faster than his teachers can think them up. His lengthy Ust of activities makes it quite obvious that Dieter is no loafer. His wonderful sense of humor, friendly manner, and willingness to help in any situation are only a few characteristics that make Dieter the popular guy he is. We are certainly indebted to him for the use of his house for those hectic Saturday Crier meetings.

George is just full of fun, but he has plenty of common sense, too. When it comes to class functions, George is always in there pitching. He is a letterman in both basketball and football. At high jumping George could give even Br ' er Rabbit some pretty tough competition, as he is one of the supporting pillars of the C. H. S. track team. George plans eventually to pursue a business career, and we wish him luck and success.

Jean ' s offices run the gamut from captain of the cheerleaders to secre- tary of the Student Council. If there ever is an election for ' superwoman, ' Jean will be our nomination. With poise and ease of manner that constant- ly amaze us, Jean is never at a loss. We wish all the sucess in the world to Jean, and we can ' t think of anyone who deserves it more.

He con- stantly amazes us with his self-taught piano playing. When it comes to cam- eras Bob is in another world. What he doesn ' t know about photography isn ' t worth looking up. With his fine camera Bob has preserved for posterity- many memorable moments in College High ' s history. Because of his ease in pubUc speaking, we think that Bob will indeed be a success- ful lawyer, his voca- tional choice.

LEVITSKY 32 South Munn Avenue East Orange When baseball season rolls around we can always tell just by looking at Barbara whether or not Dem Bums won. When she isn ' t listening to or watching the Dodgers play, she is writ- ing humorous features for the Crier. Barbara has quite a flair for writing, as is attested by the fact that one of her poems was published by the Newark Evening News. Barbara ' s scholastic abiUty in all her subjects cannot be overlooked, and she is one of the two girls with courage enough to brave Physics. Finding someone to replace her will keep College High busy for a long time.

He is the only equestrian in the class, taking part in a fox hunt every Saturday. Bob is neat and in- dustrious, applying himself without re- straint to any job he undertakes. He is one of the most frugal members of the class, perfectly suited to the job as treasurer, which he has held since the beginning of the second term of our junior year. Upon graduating. Bob will indeed leave a large place to be filled at College High. ROBERT F.

Her natural exuberance and hearty Fight, team, fight that reach the ears of even the deafest spectators are great morale builders at all athletic events. She is the per- fect example of the neat, attractive, and well dressed High School senior. Add personality and popularity and you have a thumb nail sketch of Connie.

Noted for those jokes Usually seen with Gil Likes Gil Pet peeve studying ' IvHeartlsAHflbo ' 21 Musical talent describes Jerry to the letter. Hfe is a walking encyclopedia insofar as music is concerned. Many is the time Jerry has proven himself an ardent debater in the case of classical music vs. jazz. Other than his musical abilities, he is an avid reader, handing in lengthy book lists every month. All these accomplishments and many more have made Jerry an asset to College High, and we are sure that he will make a name for himself both in col- lege and in the world. JERROLD N.

MUNSON 237 Boulevard Pompton Plains Arvid is certainly the all-around sen- ior boy of the class of ' 51. Not only has Arvid shown his abilities on the football field and on the dance floor, but he has displayed his leadership through his election to the Presidency of the Student Council. To what should we attribute these accomplishments? Without a doubt it is his personality and friendly smile that have made him an integral part of the senior class and the ideal of the underclassmen.

We all wonder where her endless stream of vitality comes from. Whether it ' s cheerleading or an A.A. Playday, she gives it all she ' s got, which is plenty. Following the family tradition, Cornell is her first choice in colleges.

When Gil isn ' t teaching the teachers how to spell ' Schneidewind, ' he ' s busy racking up points on the basketball court or the football field. In 1950 Gil received hon- orable mention in the All-State basket- ball choices. We can ' t conceive how, with his perseverance and intelligence, Gil can be anything but a success.

I ' ll Never Be Free 25 Ever since the seventh grade, Mari- lyn has amazed us with her abiUty to get things done. Whether it was class president or yearbook editor, Marilyn has done a bang-up job. Her cheery smile lightened our spirits on many a rainy day. If the United States ever has a woman president, we of the class of ' 51 earnestly believe that it will be Marilyn. She excels in Girls ' A.A. and the three R ' s. With all Marilyn ' s capa- bilities, we are sure she will succeed in all her future endeavors.

She makes up for her lack of size with her personality. Her complete record collection of dance tunes has come in handy many a time. Her sincere gen- erosity cannot be questioned, for Judy is only too willing to help on any oc- casion. All in all, Judy is a swell sport and a grand gal, and we wish her luck always. We greatly admire her ambi- tion to be a medical technician, and we are confident that she will realize her car- eer. Class Secretary 12; Dramatic Club 12; Chorus 10, 11, 12; Girls ' A.

Besides these many attributes, Betsey is also one of the best dressed girls in the class. She lends her abilities to every art project, and she is a mainstay of the Girl ' s Athletic Association. Betsey is sure to be missed by all, and we wish her lots of luck at Wheelock.

As editor-in-chief of the Crier and president of the Varsity Club, Ralph met his responsibilities with vig- or. He has been a staunch pillar of the baseball and basketball teams, con- sistently putting his best foot forward. The quality of Ralph ' s work in his studies has been of a very superior grade. Ralph ' s ambition is to become an engineer, an endeavor which we are sure he will meet with the highest success.

The first of the senior girls to get her driver ' s license, Marilyn also mastered the Charleston long before any of them ac- quired this talent. Her ability with a paintbrush makes it easy to see why she is going to major in art at college. Marilyn ' s terrific amount of school spirit is evident at all the games, where she, clad in the black and gold of a cheerleader, is cheering the hardest and yelling the loudest.

With a new creation each day, always oi the latest style, Nancy is definitely one of the best dressed girls in our senior class. Her trim figure and flaming red hair add a great deal to the cheering squad, of which she is an ardent mem- ber. Nancy ' s chief interest is dancing. Although she spends the majority of her free time practicing her dance routines, her name is always found among the Honor Roll students.

His lively qxiips have kept the dullest class hopping. But despite these frivolities, Joe still finds time to acheive Honor Roll marks. Ornithology is his princi- ple hobby. Joe can tell a Falcon from a Peregrine at twenty paces with one eye shut. Persistence is not the least of Joe ' s virtues, and everything he at- tempts is done thoroughly.

Dick is one of those boys who is so helpful to have in a class. He is an accomplished dancer and full of fun. Both of these qualities make him a very popular guy at parties. A regular card shark, Dick is the only person we know who can pull eight aces out of a deck — pinochle, that is. A grand sport with a sense of humor and an always de- pendable guy, that ' s Dick.

We planted hot dog trees at High Point. We walked through the amphitheatre with binoculars. The girls went to Hathaway ' s Bakery and the boys had a special class with Dr. Link. Mr. Placek built us a Christmas tree. Mr. Moore vaulted through a window after Jigs Gardner. We took a field trip to Newark Airport and someone fell out of a plane. We visited the slums of Montclair. , Miss Stewart threw Wayne Bren ' s notebook on the floor. Someone threw Susan Grieves ' shoe out of a second story window. We gave that most successful dance, the Shamrock Shindig. All the College Hi-Lites were original. Dr. Young read the story of the unknown soldier and Barbara Pick ' s stomach growled in the saddest part. We got directions from an old codger in New Brunswick. . Four seniors created an uproar in the CRIER Office after a dance. Dr. Moffatt called someone by his right name. , The cheerleaders let Jean Hyde cheer alone. . Dr. Hatch shot a racoon and wore it to class the next day. , Connie Meyers read a whole book in thirty days. . Warren Eastwick imitated Dr. Wittmer in class one day. . The boys pulled the grass out of Susan ' s skirt. . We broke into the wrong garage on Halloween. i k ' L-i iL  ii 34 .-,. vi ?

You all must remember Jane Bowker. Well, she ' s the Fashion Edi- tor for Jack and Jill magazine. Barbara Bruckner is still living in Montclair, and she can frequently be seen in Upper Montclair center standing on her soap box recruiting Republicans. The Boston Herald gave Nancy Degenhardt special permission to dispense with her column today so that she wouldn ' t miss the reunion. Nancy is a book censor for the Boston newspaper. New turtle-neck, sleeveless jerseys are the latest rage for football players. They were created by John Dluhy, the famous sports writer and designer. With all the new cars on the road, Warren Eastwick just wouldn ' t be outdone. He has manufactured a new style of his Hot-Rod auto- mobile without an engine. Warren says that the cars make less noise that way. Everyone must have read Barbara Fenton ' s syndicated column entitled ' Dad Says — . ' It ' s in almost every leading newspaper. Susan Grieves, after making her fortune on the radio program, Break The Bank, installed an escalator on the hill for C.H.S. students only. The world-renowned scientist. Dieter Gump, made a fortune last year by discovering the identity of the ' Thing. ' A speedy way to knit cablestitch sweaters was invented by George Haupt. At the present time he has 533 sweaters, all made with his new machine. The famous Gilbreth family has nothing on Jean Hyde. She married right after she graduated from Katherine Gibbs, and now has fifteen children. She says it ' s cheaper by the dozen and a quarter that way. 35 lake Believe Continued Notre Dame elected Bob Karp captain of their football team. After he graduated from there he was signed to play pro ball with the New York Football Giants. Barbara Levitsky, you will remember, was an ardent Brooklyn Dodger fan. She organized a women ' s team, the Brooklyn Dodger- ettes, on which she plays center field. Bob Magnus, ridden by jockey Eddie Arcaro, took top honors in the Kentucky Derby, which was run just last week. Connie Meyers, who always was an animal lover at heart, has opened a bird sanctuary for unhappy love-birds. Bop City certainly seems to have changed in the last few years. Jerry Moore is featured there now on the Hammond Organ. He plays all his favorite pieces, most of them written by Bach. A cross between the chicken and the pig was found by Arvid Mun- son. That way it ' s easier to have ham and eggs. Barbara Pick took a special course in college to teach students how to eat sandwiches in class without being caught by the teacher. Lanky Gil Schneidewind, who, if you will recall, was the star player on the Rutgers basketball team, has now settled down. He is happily married and the proud father Oi three midgets. Grouches and sad sacks certainly have benefited from Marilyn Sheen ' s definitely novel idea. She has invented a permanent smile for those who walk around with long faces. Judy Smith, the noted medical technician, has been a huge success in her field. Through her perserverance, she has discovered the Z-ray, which will cure absolutely nothing. Betsey Taylor has changed her name to Elizabeth and gained much fame and many husbands. It certainly is amazing what ' s in a name. I ' m sure everyone ' s heard of Admiral Ralph Thompson, USiJ. In the two years he was in the Navy after his graduation from Princeton he climbed all the way up from an ensign. They always told me he was a fast worker. Marilyn Turtle, the dance instructor, gained her fame when she revised the Charleston of the Fabulous Fifties into the Turtle Drag. Nancy Weiss, Roller Derby queen, caused a sensation with her square-wheeled skates. I don ' t see how she can get around the track, or do they use a square track? Those new slide rules that senior math students use were invented by Joe Wolf. They have eighty-three different scales. Talking dummies, invented by Dick Wyckoff, certainly have come in handy for students who are absent from class. The class seems to be having such a wonderful time looking over their yearbook that I don ' t want to disturb them, so we ' ll wait ' til later to talk to them. This is WCHS signing off. We ' ll be back in a httle while. 36 It Ain ' t Necessarily So CLASS WILL Jane Bowker my saggy gym suit to my sister. Barbara Bruckner my Dewey button to anyone who finds it.

The first project for the term was the selling of College High book covers, which was completed with great success. On the parents ' visiting day the class of ' 52 sponsored a cake sale. The Fool-Ball, a dance climaxing the football season, was presented by the junior class. An excursion to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with the Latin class, and a trip to the United Nations with the English class were among several inter- esting field trips taken. In January the juniors took over the job of publishing the CRIER. Under the leadership of Editor Jim Smart, the class carried on a tradition established in 1932. Participating in football, basketball, and baseball, the juniors were active in sports as well as in the social activities. The class was well represented in the Dramatic Club, the French Club, the chorus, and the orchestra. The year was concluded with the presentation of a second dance and the annual Junior-Senior picnic.

SOPHOMORES The new sophomores re-entered College High full of enthusiasm, which was evidenced in all group activities during the school year. The first duty of the class was to elect officers for the first semester. These included: Teddy Van Dyke, president; Helen Vanderschaai, vice-president; Karn Griffin, sec- retary; Gail Cross, treasurer; and Hank Glover, Student Council representa- tive. The tenth grade continued selling the now-standard cider and dough- nuts at home games, and embarked on selling pencils with the College High basketball schedule printed on them. During the year the sophs placed men on all of the Varsity teams, and the girls faithfully supported the A. A. All were interested in chorus, orchestra and a variety of clubs. Active socially, the group presented the Mistletoe Kiss, a Christmas dance. The gym was artistically decorated and the dance was carefully planned. It will long be remembered as an outstanding event. Because of the success of this venture, the class also gave a Spring dance. The sophomores made a unanimous decision concerning the style of the class ring, and these were ordered near mid-term. Membership in the Teen- Age Book Club and numerous field trips proved to be especially enjoyable ports of the class work. Having completed a successful and prosperous year, the class of ' 53 is looking forward to two more years equally as wonderful.

Under the leadership of Peter Sommer, president. Bob Dluhy, vice-presi- dent. Gene Jacobs, secretary, and Carol Hyde, Student Council representative, they proceeded to make plans for a dance in February, called the Thing-A- Ma-Jig. The dance was a huge success, and much money was added to the class treasury. Members of the class visited the television broadcast of Deanor Roosevelt. Mr. Kops, the class ' s social studies teacher, chaperoned the trip, which was both interesting and educational. The class was represented on the program by Mary Damiano. The frosh arranged a Christmas card drive for the Cere- bral Palsy institution, again with Mr. Kops supervising. They also held a clothing drive for the children of Germany under the direction of Madame Tonone, their French teacher. These undertakings were both successful and worthwhile. Throughout the year, the class supported the Chorus, Girls ' A. A., and the boys ' teams, showing the pep and zip for which they are noted. Thus the class completed another successful and happy year at College High School. 42 Rnnniii ' Wild ' A.

EIGHTH GRIDE With one year of College High under their belts, the class of ' 55 returned to school filled with enthusiasm and full of plans for the ensuing year. The first event on their busy schedule was the election of officers. The class chose Joan Vange to be their president, Joe Pedlosky, vice president, Jean Ann Schlegel, secretary, and Marvin Schwartzband, treasurer. The eighth graders then planned a cake sale, which, proving very suc- cessful, enriched their treasury. One of the highlights of the term was a minstrel show based on Stephen Foster ' s songs, which the class presented with the aid of the seventh grade. The show was put on as part of their Music Appreciation class. A field trip to the Montclair Museum was one of the many enjoyable excursions taken by the class. The eighth graders were present at all the social functions, and they were always on hand at the athletic events, helping to cheer the teams on to victory. All in all, the class of ' 55 had a very successful year, and are looking forward to being one of the outstanding classes in future years.

The successful slate included Susan Larsen, president; John Crosby, vice presi- dent; Frances Grossman, secretary; Danny Creedon, treasurer; Maurie Eaton, Student Council representative. Miss Dix, their EngUsh teacher, sponsored a trip to the Herald Tribune Book Fair in November. The morning was spent at the Book Fair, and the group went to the Hayden Planetarium during the afternoon. They also held the traditional Christmas pageant for the seventh grade mothers. A minstrel show, performed in collaboration with the eighth grade, was very successful. The seventh grade held a cake sale which netted them $17.60. With this money the class started their treasury. They participated in a P-TA meeting in April. The class had an extremely busy year, and they learned much from their experiences. After all these undertakings the class slill had time to participate whole- heartedly in the activities of the school, including the Teen-Age Book Club, the Dramatic Club, and other school clubs. Having enjoyed a very exciting first year, the seventh graders are look- ing forward to their following five at College High School.

STIDE ' T COmiL After a bang-up election campaign, Arvid Munson was elected president, Dieter Gump, vice president, and Jean Hyde secretary of the College High School Student Council. Representatives from every class were also chosen for the school government board. Thus the Student Council began a very busy year. There were several important projects approved by the Council during 1950-1951. A school flag was purchased with eighty dollars taken from the Contingency Fund. The Council decided that air raid drills would be held from time to time. The various social functions and cake sales held through- out the year were approved by the student government. A new system of tak- ing attendance was employed, as it was felt that the previous system was in- adequate. At a P-TA meeting in February the Council held a typical meeting as a demonstration for the parents of College High School ' s students. Also at the meeting, representatives of the various school organizations explained the purposes and aims of their clubs. As in former years, the Student Council did a very competent job in governing the affairs of College High. 46 ' Blue Room ' Seated, left to rigtit: Marilyn Turtle, Uieter Gump, Bob Magnus, Ralph Thompson, Nancy Degenhardt.

The staff published the last six issues in the 1949-1950 school year under the watchful eyes of retiring editor John Armstrong. The remaining four issues, printed in the first semester of this past year, were done without any outside assistance. In September of their senior year, the staff wrole to many of the world ' s leading citizens, asking them what high school students could do to help further world peace. Excerpts from the replies received were printed in a special six- page Peace issue in November. The staff presented to Mr. Seybold a scrapbook containing a copy of the letter sent by the CRIER and the answers received from the various leaders. Members of the staff received awards for their meritorious work on the College High CRIER.

Fl{fi (ll (LIB To further interest in conversational French and to increase the knowl- edge of French customs are the main purposes of the French Club. Under the guidance of Mrs. Paul C. Cressey, instructor in junior and senior French at College High, the club has its meetings twice a month. The officers for the year were loe Wolf, president, Barbara Bruckner, vice president, Barbara Levitsky, secretary, and Dieter Gump, treasurer. Although the club was not organized until rather late, several projects were planned for the year. Among these was the Mardi Gras festival dinner, a traditional event in the College High School French Club. Many French dishes were prepared for this event, including crepe suzettes. Another tradi- tional event was the dinner at one of the member ' s homes at the end of the school year. The club is open to members of the sophomore, junior, and senior French classes, and at meetings not a word can be spoken in English. French games are played at the meetings and refreshments are served. The French Club concluded another successful year, during which the members acquired a better knowledge of the French language and French customs.

The object of the club is to familiarize the members with the fundamentals of the theatre. Many people have found that their interests lie in scenery, lighting, props, make-up, directing and prompting, rather than in act- ing, which so many people associate with dramatic clubs. The Masquers elected their officers for the ensuing year early in the fall. Marilyn Sheen was chosen president, Susan Grieves, vice president, and Nancy Weiss, secretary. While working on plays they decided to divide into two groups; the sev- enth, eighth, and ninth graders in one group, and the sophomores, juniors, and seniors in another group. It was felt that this would be better for casting. The older group presented a play entitled A Young Man ' s Fancy, a hilarious comedy about a boy ' s first formal dance. One of the group ' s most interesting field trips was a January excursion to New York ' s Center Theater, where they saw The Royal Family, a comedy presented by the A.N.T.A.A. Edith Skydell and Robert Bock, students at the college, are the club ' s ad- visors. The Masquers hope that, with their determination and the assistance of the advisors, the club will succeed in establishing itself as a permanent tradition at College High.

In a year punctuated by startling world affairs, College Hig h ' s only poli- tical action group, the United World Federalists, kept the school abreast of plans for the furtherance of world peace. After electing Bob Rotberg as president, Barbara Bruckner, vice presi- dent, and Barbara Pick, secretary, the Federalists held a record dance which helped add to their treasury. Myron Kronish, a student at the Rutgers Law School, spoke in behalf of Federalism at a February assembly. He discussed the importance of a world government under the present global difficulties. Plans were approved in February for broadening the scope of the organi- zation. It was thought that the club could enlarge into a Montclair Student Chapter, with the nucleus at College High. The student chapter also worked more closely with the Monclair State Teachers College chapter, and sent three members to the annual institute held at Princeton in January. With the cooperation of the State Federalist organization, the College High chapter sponsored a state-wide World Government Forum at Montclair early in May. Representatives from many of the surrounding high schools attended. Once again in the 1950-1951 school year. College High ' s United World Federalist chapter continued their role as one of the important clubs at the school.

CHORUS The College High School chorus, for the third year under the direction of Mr. John W. Craft, elected officers early in the fall. Marilyn Sheen was the group ' s choice for the presidency, while Gil Schneidewind and Frances Thorn- hill were oppointed vice president and secre ary, respectively. George Haupt was selected to be business manager. The choral group, numbering 85, was the largest in the history of the school. The group participated in many activities, including assembly programs and Chirstmas concerts in Montclair. The latter included engagements at the Upper Montclair Woman ' s Club, at the George Inness School as guests of the M.S.T.C. band, and at the Questors, a branch of the Montclair Woman ' s Club. One of the highlights of the last semester was the third annual Spring Concert, presented by the chorus together with the other musical groups in the school. The chorus sang such ever-popular numbers as the Desert Song and All the Things You Are. The climax of the year was the appearance of the chorus at the Baccalaureate Service and the Commencement Exercises.

ORCHESTRA Under the capable direction of Mr. Louis Zerbe, the orchestra completed another successful year at College High School. During 1950-1951 the organi- zation grew much larger than it has been in former years. In the fall Bob Magnus was elected concert master. His appointment as a member of the New Jersey All-State Orchestra was an honor to the C.H.S. orchestra and to Mr. Zerbe. The other officers elected during the year were Jerry Moore, vice president, Dieter Gump, secretary-treasurer, and Bruce Potter- ton, librarian. The group participated in the Christmas program, the Spring Concert, and the graduation ceremonies, giving enjoyment to the listeners. Several new instruments were purchased with money lent to the orch- estra members by the Contingency Fund. This year the orchestra has begun to play better, longer, and more diffi- cult symphonic pieces. They also included many novelty numbers in their repertoire, which were very entertaining. The orchestra has added much to the many school functions, and it has indeed been a credit to College High School. Henry Glover 52 Ip- ' The toweis ol CHS Where ' s Ihe basketball, Henry?

The Girls ' Athletic Association had a very successful and active season, although the membership was not as great this year as it has been in the past. Under the leadership of Mrs. Marie Scotti, the girls elected officers and began making plans for the busy year ahead. Jane Bowker was elected president of the club, with Connie Meyers and Wini Shank sharing the honors of the vice presidency. Marilyn Turtle showed her efficiency as secretary, and Barbara Pick was appointed manager of the hockey team. During the season, the team visited Glen Ridge for the annual hockey playday. College High played host to Montclair High School, Glen Ridge High School, and Caldwell High School at a basketball playday March 1. College High walked away with top honors at this contest. A baseball playday was held late in the spring at Caldwell, and Mont- clair provided the courts for the volley ball tournament. An unusual amount of fine spirit and cooperation was evident through- out the year, one of the finest years for the Girls ' A.A. 54 Whoop-(lc- Dofl Seated, left to right Phoebe Evans, Marilyn Turtle, Bar- bara Pick.

The judges were senior cheerleaders from the State Teachers College. Marilyn Turtle and Susan Grieves, both of the senior class, and Phoebe Evans, a junior, were picked for the squad, joining last year ' s members Bar- bara Pick, Connie Meyers, and Captain lean Hyde. Nancy Weiss of the senior class and Dorothy Harrison, class of ' 53, were appointed as substitutes. When the fall term got under way the cheerleaders began their activities. Reviving the old cheers and adding a few new ones, the squad cheered the football team on to another conference championship. To raise money for new blouses for the basketball season, the girls held a very successful cake sale in the fall. In the spring another cake sale was held to collect money to buy gold megaphones as remembrances of their active season. In order to encourage interest in the varsity games, the cheerleaders gave many pep rallies, which were attended by the whole school. The cheerleaders were given school leiters for their spirit and enthusiasm. 55 We ' ve Got Plenty of Miin Seated, leit to right: Neil Lindeman.

VARSITY CLUB College High ' s Varsity Letterman ' s Club, in its second year of existence, quickly took the lead in the promotion and furtherance of College High ath- letics. Under the leadership of President Ralph Thompson, the Vorsitymen work- ed with Athletic Director WiUiam P. Dioguordi to become a member of the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association for the first time. In January it was annoimced that the school would be classed in Group One. The sponsor of Homecoming Evening during the Christmas recess, the Varsity Club also ran the annual Alumni dance after the Alumni-College High basketball game. New basketball jerseys and jackets were worn during the 1951 season. The organization had labored for these in the fall. For the first time College High took an active interest in the Essex County and State basketball tourna- ments. The club sponsored the first College High Invitational Track and Field meet late in May. Besides President Thompson, other officers include Gil Schneidewind and George Haupt, vice president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Taking the initiative in the high school ' s athletic program, the Varsity Club has become an integral part of the College High School scene. Bob Rotberg 56 Stout-hearted Men j i k 4K!igi.

FOOTBALL Headed by Captnin Arvid Munson and senior teammates Gil Schneidewind, Joe Wolf, Warren East- wick, and George Haupt, the 1951 Pony gridsters won their fifth straight conference crown. Finishing with a 6-0 record, the Ponies played through their fifth consecutive conference season without a defeat. College High ' s six-man giants opened the season with an easy 36-6 victory over the cellar-dwelling Wardlaw sextet. The Ponies then travelled to New York ' s Van Cortlandt Park, where two second half scores brought the Ponies a 19-6 win. In the season ' s third contest played Friday, October 20, College High defeated McBurney, 21-12, at Rice Stadium in New York. After winning via a forfeit over Wardlaw, and trouncing the Cougars of Collegiate School, 32-12, the Ponies met McBurney in the season ' s finale.

College High won nine out of fourteen league games. To open the 1951 season, the Ponies downed the Alumni, 30-28. Next the Ponies lost two non-league contests, one to Catham, 36-34, in an overtime period, the other to Caldwell, 49-45. College High then trounced Montclair Academy and lost a close one to Oratory. With their league record at one and one, the Pony quintet won five games in succession, de- feating Morristown Prep, St. Bernards, Delbarton, Morristown Prep again, and Montclair Academy again. Eastern Academy broke the C.H.S. skein as they won easily over the Ponies on the former school ' s court. College High, by a virtue of a win over St. Bernards, a loss to Delbarton, and two forfeited triumphs on the part of Wardlaw School, went into their last five games with a healthy ten and five record.

BASEBALL Playing an abbreviated schedule in the spring of 1950, the College High School baseball team won only one of its five contests. The Ponies failed to win a single game in the North Jersey Ivy League competition, losing all four to their opponents. With one of its largest squads in years, the team was long in numbers, but short in talent. Oratory was College High ' s first opponent and proved to be the better team by virtue of an 18-11 victory. Gil Schneidewind was the losing pitcher in this contest, which was played in a steady drizzle. Delbarton School shut out Col- lege High, 9-0, in a game, played under similar wet conditions. John Milstead was the loser in this game. The sun was shining for the next game, but the Ponies failed to take advantage of it, losing to Morristown Prep, 11-1. College High won their only game by 10-5 decision over Stevens Prep of Hoboken. A home run by Pony catcher Arvid Munson was the highlight of this slug test. John Milstead had the honor of being the only winning pitcher for the Ponies. Eastern Academy defeated the Ponies, 9-0, in the final game of the season. Games with St. Bernard ' s and Wardlaw were cancelled because of rainy weather. 59 WHO ARi 60 IV f ? See Page 69 61 PATRONS Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Creedon Mr. and Mrs. David Graig Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M.
