DEDICATION DR. KEITH W. ATKINSON Director [6] BIG TOP MANAGERS Dr. Keith W. Atkinson and Miss Lydia M. Caliandro, respectively Director and Assistant to the Director of College High School, have carried out an effective, two-fold program this year. Working with the faculty. Dr. Atkinson and Miss Caliandro, who comprise the College High School administration, augmented and enriched the curriculum, they also succeeded in improving the physical appearance of the school. The administration instituted the first guidance program at College High School. Supplementing this was a testing project designed to obtain informa- tion useful to students in planning their curricula. The seventh grade English and social studies courses were combined. First year French was offered to eighth graders, and last year ' s Spanish course was continued. Wind instrument instruction was started, and string classes were carried on. Typing instruction became available to sophomores, juniors, and seniors in four eight-week periods. Under the administration ' s directions, the office, music room, and audi- torium were further equipped, a public address system was installed in the halls, and extra janitorial help was employed. Thanks to the combined efforts of the administration and faculty, College High School really had its face lifted during this past school year. MRS. MOLLIE C. WINCHESTER Libranan MR. HAROLD C.

KT, THE LION TAMERS OFF GUARD NG THE NIORS )i JAMES ROBERT BARNEY 37 HOWARD STREET VERONA Chorus 11, 12; Masquers 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 11. That strenuous songster in Chorus ' first row could only be Bob, a staunch Amen-er. His blue eyes, blond hair, and devilish grin make him a welcome addition to this and any other gathering. Bob ' s newspaper features ore ample proof of his dry wit, so evident wherever he is found. Art is another addition to his list of talents; many a social studies class has been enlivened by reports displaying his ability in this line. Don ' t think that this skill ends with drawing, for it extends into the fields of carpentry and model-making; this places Bob in demand for all class projects. [12] ROSE MARY BIRD 445 PARKER STREET NEWARK lose ' Chorus 11, 12, Accompanist 12; Orchestra 11, 12; Masquers 11, 12, Secretary 11; G.A.A. 11, 12; Latin Club 11; Crier 12; Bible Study 12; Yearbook 12; Honor Roll 11. Rose can usually be found scurrying to or from class, note- book in hand and books balanced precariously. This doesn ' t mean that she ' s ever too hurried to help others, though, for she has been a reliable worker on the Crier and yearbook staffs. Reliable, too, is her pride for her father; to be sure, we have learned to appreciate what Dad said last night. Play- ing the flute in orchestra and aiding Miss Morse as Chorus accompanist evidence her versatility in music. Rose is also adept in both mathematics and science, interests which are sure to be useful in her pursuit of a medical career. JUDITH MAXWELL BOWKER 344 EAST 32nd STREET PATERSON Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; Masquers 10, 11, 12, President 11; G.A.A. 9, 10, 11, 12; Cheerleader 11, 12; French Club 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook 12, Pretty as a picture — and she paints ' em too! Golden- brown hair frames Judy ' s bronzed complexion, and deep-set blue eyes reflect her peaceful disposition. Tranquil though she may be, Judy ' s artistry on canvas speaks for her. The vivid hues and brilliant designs she creates hint at her colorful personality. Spirited cheering gives proof of her endless vigor, and being cast in dramatic club productions displays her theatrical skill. The feature page of College High School ' s triweekly would never have met its deadline had it not been for Judy ' s capable management and eleventh-hour feature stories. GAIL NANCY CROSS 109 BUCKINGHAM ROAD UPPER MONTCLAIR Class President 8, Treasurer 7, 9; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; G.A.A. 9, 10, 11, 12; French Club 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Associate Art Ed itor 12; Honor Roll 8, 9, 11. Take heaps of originality, mix well with willingness and talent for good work, and an ability to organize. Fold in a liberal amount of gaiety, party spirit, and a dash of artistry. Season the mixture amply with a skill in a variety of dances. The result is an indispensable part of College High School: Gail. She is essential not only to the Class of ' 53, but also to the many extracurricular groups of which she is a member. All this adds up to a very affable, popular, and active miss. [15] Class Secretary 8, Student Council Representative 10; Chorus 9, 10, 11 12; Masquers 10, 11, 12, Secretary 11 Vice-President 12; French Club 11, 12 Latin Club 11, Secretary-Treasurer 11 Bible Study Group 8, 9, 10, II, 12 Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Editor-in-Chief 12; Honor Roll 8, 9, 11, 12, MARCIA EDWARDS FAIR 145 EDMUND AVENUE PATERSON Step right up and pick a problem — any problem — and Marsh is your gal to solve it! A real diplomat and a good organizer, she has proved invaluable on the Crier staff and tops as yearbook editor. Both in extracurricular activities and in class, her thoughtful attitude and common sense have resolved heated discussions into those in which agreement replaces argument. Marsh ' s silver-toned soprano voice has bolstered the first section of the Chorus for four years. Masquers, too, has benefited by her participation. As if all this weren ' t enough, we find Marsh lending the school a helping hand by working in the office. RICHARD LEON FISHER 294 NORTH MOUNTAIN AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR Class Student Council Representative 11; Chorus 12; Masquers 10, 11; Var- sity Club 12; Football 12, Captain 12; Basketball 12; Yearbook 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 11, 12. Dick is an always noticeable member of the seniors ' library crowd. Many are the impossible homework problems that are cleared up as he patiently explains them in the few rushed minutes before class. But he is by no means tied to a table leg, as membership in the dramatic club, a berth on the varsity football and basketball squads, and an active stint in the Student Council will show. Whether at Council or in class, Dick ' s attention to details has paved the way for what we think will be a very successful law career. OLIVIA GOMEZ E. 11 SEYMOUR STREET MONTCLAIR ■ ' 4 ' U Class Secretary 10, 12; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12: G.A.A. 9, 10, 11, 12, Vice-Presi- dent 11, President 12; Cheerleader 12; French Club 11, 12, Treasurer 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Art Editor 12; Honor Roll 9. As a vivacious denizen of the art room, Livy has been the source of most of our artistic achievements. Sports-minded also, she wields a mean hockey stick during the fall A. A. sessions, and exchanges it for other athletic equipment as the seasons change. Livy ' s pertness and pep are an integral part of the Class of ' 53. Her popularity has placed her in the spot- light whenever candidates are considered for offices. Fluent French is an addition to Livy ' s language accomplishments which also include her native Spanish and adopted English. [18] KARN WALTER GRIFFEN 25 FOREST AVENUE VERONA Class President 7, Vice-President 9, 11, Secretary 10; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12, President 12; Orchestra 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Vice-President 11; Football Man- ager 9; Basketball 8, 9, 10, 11; Base- ball 8, 9, 10, 11, 12; Varsity Club 9, 10, 11, 12, President 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Sports Editor 12; Honor Roll 7, 8. With a song in his heart and on his lips too. Griff begins a. typical day. He turns first to the editor ' s work on the sports sections of Crier and La Campanilla. His jovial disposition speeds him through mid-day and those locker confabs. Melody reigns during afternoon chorus periods, where Griff lends his support to the male contingent. Varsity sports take up his late afternoon hours. Then it ' s home to supper and off to visit a pal for an evening of wild shag and tiger ties. Thus every- body ' s friend has completed another day. STEPHEN LEWIN GROSSMAN 10 MOUNTAINSIDE PARK TERRACE UPPER MONTCLAIIR Steve Chorus 12; Orchestra 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12; Masquers 12; Baseball 10; Latin Club 11, 12, President 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Senior Feature Editor 12; Honor Roll 9, 10. Though he is alone in being a rabid rooter for the Athletics in the Class of ' 53, Steve is nevertheless staunch in his enthusiasm for that Philadelphia club. Between plugs for his favorite team, he manages to get in a few licks for another favorite: politics. Trading wisecracks with anyone who will brave them consumes a goodly portion of his between-class time. Steve, as President of the Latin club, shows part of the reliability evident in his Orchestra years and Crier work. Carrying five majors wouldn ' t seem to allow him much spare time; yet, Steve manages to be a solid, participating member of the class. JAMES VAN HOUTEN HARDMAN 33 LAUREL PLACE UPPER MONTCLAIR Chorus 10, 11, 12; Orchestra 7; Mas- quers 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10. Hearty chuckles accompanied by a carrot topped counten- ance are an unmistakable indication that Jim is in the vicinity. During the fishing season, though, laughs are coming from another quarter as his audience hears about the one that got away . By the end of the week, overnight fishing trips run second in his conversation to dem bums and next year ' s pennant race. No handwriting experts are we, but it may be that the scoring of Dodger games is responsible for Jim ' s minia- ture script. We will, nevertheless, certify thai small penmanship doesn ' t indicate few interests; motor boating, model craftsman- ship and school activity testify to that. ALAN LEWIS HEIL, JR. 664 VALLEY ROAD UPPER MONTCLAIR Class Vice-President 10, Treasurer 8; Chorus 10, 11, 12; French Club 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Class and Activity Write-ups 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. As that southern gentleman, with locker No. 154 repre- senting his magnolia studded plantation, and the halls of College High School his bountiful cotton field, Alan provides some of the calm atmosphere not too often present in the Class of ' 53. Though unobtrusive, his tactful manner effectively quells the storm of many a controversy. His smooth southern accent is noted at meetings of the Crier and yearbook staffs as well as at those of the French club. These groups turn to Alan whenever they are in search of new ideas, assured that his ingenuity will produce a good one. [22] ALAN WARREN KEMPLER 1564 LESLIE STREET HILLSIDE Orchestra 7, 8, 9, 10; Masquers 11, 12; Baseball 10, 11, 12; French Club 11, 12, Vice-President 11, President 12; Yearbook, Assistant Sports Editor 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Alan ' s interpretations of dances belonging to the Roaring Twenties , whether noontimes in the auditorium or evenings at senior get-togethers, can be trusted to liven up the surround- ings. During class time, however, his mood is entirely different. His persuasive arguing and fiery oration find him never at a loss for words in support of his latest cause. German added to his knowledge of French makes him an accomplished linguist. Baseball jargon is yet another language with which he ' s familiar, and it is one which he speaks so fluently that all we can say is this, Mel Allen, watch out! KATHRYN ELIZABETH LANCEY 76 DE MOTT AVENUE CLIFTON Chorus 11, 12; G.A.A. 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Photography Co- editor 12. Parties mean fun and so does Kay. That ' s why the two are usually found together. Give her a coke in one hand and a partner in the other; then teach her a new dance step, and you have a contented miss. When you ' re with Kay, contentment ' s contagious; she has a way about her that quickly banishes even the most staid countenance. Bringing people into the group and making them feel at home there are specialties which she amply possesses and uses to benefit the Crier, yearbook, Chorus, and G.A.A. DAVID M. LARSEN 18 LYNACK ROAD HAWTHORNE ■ ' ove Class President 10, 12, Vice-President 8; Student Council Vice-President 11; Chorus 11, Business Manager 11; Mas- quers 11; Latin Club 11; Yearbook, Literary Editor 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. As our copy of Scientiiic American, Dave would be a collector ' s issue, if only for his handsome cover. But, too, at the turning of each page, traces of his great ability to think and express his ideas are immediately visible. In each article the illustrations point up his sense of humor, and the advertise- ments note his parliamentary skill and list his elections to many offices (including re-election as class president). Pro- gressing through the pages, a sincere love of science is depicted, as well as a skill for applying scientific knowledge. This publication, we feel sure, will be one which is of more than passing interest. TAMARA C. LINDENMAIER 101 LORRAINE AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR las Chorus 11, 12; Masquers 11, 12; G.A.A. 11, 12; French Club 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook 12. [26} Although quiet and reserved, Tarn has made for herself a definite niche in the wall of friendships built up by the present seniors through their years at College High. A talent and liking for French first made her noticed; it wasn ' t long before French Club included her as a faithful member. This Swiss miss has exhibited other interests by her participation in Masquers and her post as a typist for the yearbook. The possessor of an even, good-natured disposition. Tarn has supplied a large share of stability to the Class of ' 53. ROBERTA MAY LOHNES 118 LINDEN AVENUE BLOOMFIELD Class Secretary 11; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9. , Bertie ' s pattern of interests encompasses many extra- mural activities; we are entertained often by her tales of out-of-school friends. A ready smile and an attractive appear- ance have made her welcome company on every occasion. Speaking of patterns, Bertie is also nimble with a needle; she is especially skilled in creating her own charming outfits, and often is found helping others to acquire her proficiency. La Campanilla has benefited by her dependability on the typing staff. To top it off, when a friend is concerned about a problem, Bertie ' s cheerful phrase, Smile and don ' t worry about it , always helps to lighten the burden. LOIS ANNE MARTONE 26 CONCORD STREET CLIFTON i -IP Class Secretary 9, 11; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; Masquers 10, 11, 12; G.A.A. 9, 10, 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Class and Activity Write-ups 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. A pretty, auburn head at right angles to the open window of her yellow Plymouth convertible, a big smile, and a cheery Hi, and Lo is back on campus. The car door opens, and she makes a mad dash to math and the renewal of yesterday afternoon ' s conversations. Easy to talk to, she ' s one of our most likeable targets for the latest joke or a vivid account of last night ' s date. Lo, smart and reliable, is equally known for her ability to have a good time and still get the job done properly. ERNEST EDWARD OUTERBRIDGE 216 LORRAINE AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR Masquers 12; Chorus 12; French Club 12; Yearbook 12. Eddie, Bermuda ' s addition to the seniors of ' 53, came to College High last autumn. Quickly losing that look of bewilder- ment usually accompanying new students, he became a valu- able addition to our class. His British accent, so rarely found among Jersey residents, immediately attracted attention and caused all his schoolmates to want to know him better. Eddie ' s ready sense of humor and jokes about jolly old England draw him into the midst of all our activities. A sensation among the car-loving seniors is his Vauxhall, a welcome means of transportation home. CYNTHIA HOLT PARSONS SPRUCE ROAD, PINES LAKE R.D. 1, PATERSON CA.TCi° Chorus 10, 11; Masquers 10, 11, 12, Secretary 12; Cheerleader 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook 12; Honor Roll 11. Act I: Set in and around College High School. Enter heroine, a chestnut tressed sophisticate with a love for smart clothes. She moves dramatically and talks in a melodious tone; each word is delivered with utmost urgency and an air of excitement. Her exit cue is the off-stage call of the No. 76 bus driver. Act II: Set in and around Pines Lake. Enter heroine and a group of picnickers; all are costumed in bathing suits. Heroine ascends to the high diving board where she rates encores for her graceful performance. Curtain. Cindy, the star, then takes her curtain calls. ERNEST DeALTON PARTRIDGE 548 HIGHLAND AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR Class Student Council Representative 12; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; Orchestra 10, 11, 12; Basketball 11, 12; Baseball 9, 11; Varsity Club 9, 11, 12; Yearbook 12. Ernie, our man about the sound box, is a really versatile virtuoso. Tall and a smooth dancer, Ernie finds himself never at loss for a partner, whether he be at a class party or at one of his favorite square dances. He can be found, though, on the orchestra side of the bandstand as often as on the dance floor. The strains of his guitar playing often echo through the halls of College High; his string strumming has brought him into local bands, and Ernie ' s rich bass voice has earned him a position in the All-State Chorus. [31] RICHARD MICHAEL RUBINSON 241 EAST 32nd STREET PATERSON HuM Class President 11, Treasurer 10; Stu- dent Council Vice-President 11, Presi- dent 12; Chorus 11, 12; Basketball 10, 11, 12; Baseball 11, 12; Varsity Club 10, 11, 12, Secretary-Business Manager 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Business Manager 12; Honor Roll 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. y ' l Quick quips are Ruby ' s specialty, and by now we ' re accustomed to hearing them at the most unexpected times. He has been able to win friends and influence people by com- bining his slap-stick sense of humor with a politician ' s deft- ness. His election as Student Council President, however, was not due solely to these attributes, for he gained many votes from those acquainted with the serious side of his personality. A genuinely interested and vigorous spokesman for any group to which he belongs, Ruby was a natural choice for basketball captain. PER TOR SAVERSTROM 13 STONE WOOD PARKWAY VERONA Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12, Librarian 12; Orchestra 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Vice- President 10, President 11; Football Manager 8; Basketball 10: Baseball Manager 8, 9; Varsity Club 9, 10, 11, 12; Yearbook 12; Honor Roll 7. i Music, maestro, is a request that is usually directed to Per and answered by him noontimes on the battered, audi- torium upright. His daily piano performances really make us forget the trials of morning classes. This swell Swede is as popular with underclassmen as he is with the twelfth graders. His striped ties, his collection of sweaters, and his blond good looks create a stir in the halls of College High whenever he appears. With not only his pianistic accomplishments but also with his fine baritone voice and leading position as head of the first violin section in Orchestra, he adds his note of musical harmony to College High School life. mm. [33} JOHN ALLAN SCHLEGEL 200 ELMWOOD ROAD CEDAR GROVE Class President 9, Treasurer 11, 12, Student Council Representative 9; Stu- dent Council Vice-President 12; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12, Librarian 11, Vice-Presi- dent 12; Masquers 10, 11, 12, Vice- President 10, President 11, 12; French Club 11, 12, Treasurer 11; Crier 11, 12, Editor-in-Chiet 11, 12; Yearbook, Senior Write-ups 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Great leaders are born, not made. This quote strongly applies to Jack. He has served his class as its president and his school as Vice-President of the Student Council and as Editor-in-Chief of the Crier. Always a hard worker, he knows how to follow as well as to lead. Full of fun and quick to laugh at any joke. Jack is easy to get along with and an important man in all the doings of the Class of ' 53. MAURICE DANIEL SCHMAIER 55 GROVE STREET MONTCLAIR Class President 9, Student Council Representative 8, 11; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12, Assistant Business Manager 12; Football 11, Manager 9, 10; Basket- ball 10; Baseball 9, 10, Manager 8; Varsity Club 9 ,10, 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Associate Advertising Editor 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. The first to own a car in the Class of ' 53 was Murray. We all remember the fateful day when he and the Ford chugged up the drive, and how each of us vied to have the first ride. But Murray ' s interests aren ' t all wrapped up in cars; he likes to write, whether it be for English or the Crier, and he loves to have fun. His grin can be counted on as part of our audience reaction to any joke. We also count on his co-operation and dependability in all class endeavors. {35} RICHARD BRUCE SHANK 83 NORMAL AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR Class President 11, Vice-President 7, 8, Treasurer 9, Student Council Repre- sentative 9; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; Orchestra 7, 8, 9, 10; Football 11; Baseball 9, 10, 11, 12; Varsity Club 9, 10, 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Photography Co-editor 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10, A fast man with a flashbulb, Dick has been responsible for capturing a lot of our crazy antics on film. Crier and La Campanilla photography are examples of his great proficiency and willingness to work. His easy going manner, nice features, and good build have flipped many a feminine heart. He rates high not only with the girls but also with the men of ' 53 because of his sincerity, loyalty, and spirit. As an outstanding batsman and catcher, Dick captained the diamond squad during his senior year, and provided the necessary field leadership. EUGENE ABBOTT STRAUB 33 ARLINGTON AVENUE CALDWELL Chorus 11, 12; Masquers 11, 12; Base- ball 10; Varsity Club 10, 11, 12; Crier 11, 12; Yearbook, Adv rtising Editor 12; Honor Roll 7, 8. Gene is a good-natured complainer, but he is always the first to volunteer for the same job the next time. Transportation in his trusty buggy after hectic Wednesday night Crier meet- ings has become essential to those of us who expect to get home before daybreak. Enthusiasm is one of his strong points; he can always be depended upon to give his help. The advertising editorship on the yearbook staff and work on the Crier consume much of his working time. Gene ' s talking time is consumed in discussion of his Caldwell conquests, the relative merits of automobiles and the next J. A.

Aw Gay as the carousel in Central Park, Happy sometimes has us amazed at her faculty of finding humor everywhere. Most typical of her are her resounding laugh and thrown-back head after a particularly good joke. Our flaxen-haired, Dutch damsel has other recommendations too. Talented with a type- writer, she has been a most faithful Crier staffer and a stand- out in typing class. Happy ' s determined tenor voice has marked all of the Chorus rehearsals; other music skills which she has exhibited include piano playing and the conducting of the never-to-be-forgotten Glow Worm ditty in seventh grade. [38} FLORENCE THEODORA VAN DYKE 289 PARK AVENUE NEWARK Class President 10, Secretary 9, Stu- dent Council Secretary 11; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12, Secretary 12; Masquers 10; G.A.A. 10, 11, 12, Vice-President 12; French Club 12; Latin Club 11; Bible Study Group 12; Crier 11, 12; Year- book, Assistant Editor 12; Honor Roll 9, 10, 11, 12. Teddy is truly tops with everyone who knows her. A large share of the credit for her popularity is due to the agreeable manner and the good word she has for everyone. Next on the list is sincerity; in all of her jobs and in her conversation there ' s an honesty and frankness that can ' t be missed. The versatile Van Dyke touch has shown itself to advantage in the field and court sports activities of the Mares of the College High School G.A.A. The other groups of which she is a member, enjoy- ing her sense of humor and recognizing her abilities, hove rewarded Teddy with responsible positions. [39} CONSTANCE ANNE VOLSKI 451 UPPER MOUNTAIN AVENUE UPPER MONTCLAIR  -Coti ® Class Vice-President 7, Student Coun- cil Representative 8; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; G.A.A. 9, 10, 12; Cheerleader 11, 12, Captain 12. Fashion, fun, and fight-team-fight! is a six-word summary that means one thing to the twelfth grade: Connie. As this year ' s cheering captain, she has added an extra spark to College High ' s traditional pep, bringing new spirit to the Ponies ' Black and Gold. Her impish wit is at home on the side lines at a game and in study-hour chatter; it often pops up unexpectedly in a classroom debate. Other things that Connie ' s noted for are her style-conscious taste in clothes and numerous date-time doings. [40} LOIS ELEANOR WILSON 393 HIGHLAND TERRACE ORANGE Class Vice-President 11, 12, Treasurer 8, Student Council Representative 7; Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; Masquers 10, 11, 12: G.A.A. 9, 10, 11, 12, Secretary 11; Bible Study Group 12; Crier 11, Iz; Yearbook, Senior Write-ups 12; Honor Roll 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. If it be a decorations committee chairman you ' re after, Loie ' s your girl. Wfienever the job calls for good taste and know-how, we ' re in the habit of looking no farther. When she is on a stepladder surrounded with scissors and crepe paper, at a classroom desk with a tough physics problem, or facing a pile of Crier late copy, she works hard, but enjoys even the punniest attempt at humor. Loie plays hard too, as G.A.A. teammates will testify, with the same spirit and enthusiasm which have made her popular everywhere.

The class officers elected were Mary Damiano, president; Walt Koenig, vice-president; Gene Jacobs, secretary, and Peter Sommers, treasurer. Laurie Hamilton was class representative at Student Council meetings. Full of novel money-making schemes, the juniors presented the first dance of the year, Jukebox Jam- boree, which proved to be a social as well as financial success. The class also continued to operate its milk machine, which has become a permanent fixture at College High. When February arrived, the Crier gained a new staff of juniors which successfully carried forward the Ciiei ' s fine tradition of excellence. In order to see a daily newspaper in action, the class visited the Newark News with Mrs. Robert Corso, English instructor. Also of much value to the eleventh grade was its attendance of the journalism conference at Fairleigh Dickinson College, where many new and original ideas were discussed. Football, basketball, and baseball in addition to clubs and other extracurricular activities, all found juniors participating wholeheartedly. Their reputation for wonderful class parties was sustained by those parties they held during the year. These social events were climaxed by the annual Junior-Senior Picnic, held early in June.

Ordering class rings when a suitable design had been chosen was the first item of business facing the class. With president Bill Weber heading homeroom meetings, this task was swiftly accomplished. Other first-semester officers included Larry Berman, vice- president; Helen Damiano, secretary, and Roni Baen- ninger, treasurer. Sarah Whitman represented the class at Student Council meetings. Starting the year off with a successful Hallowe ' en party in the field house, the entertainment committee planned games and dances, which were made more than successful by the refreshment committee ' s effort, zeal, and cider and doughnuts. One of the privileges of being a College High sophomore is class membership in the Teen-Age Book Club, introduced to the sophomores under the super- vision of their English teacher, Mr. Laurence Conrad. Skits dramatizing the books received from the Teen- Age Book Club were written, directed, produced, and enacted by the students. Eager to join extracurricular activities, tenth- graders flocked to G.A.A., sports. Chorus, Orchestra, Masquers, and other school groups. Having set a fast pace for itself, the Class of ' 55 hopes to stride forward with equal vigor into its two final years at College High. sell, Sarah Whitman, Ann Palmer, Elyn Marie Hallberg, David Kitay, Noel Bartlett.

CLASS OF 1956 With that important look in their eyes, the peppy- freshmen returned from summer vacationing full of steam, as was demonstrated by their fine participation in extracurricular activities. Their turn outs for Chorus, Orchestra, dramatic club, and varsity sports were especially notable. Sales by the Class of ' 56 of College High black and gold decals were very successful, The ninth grade treasury ' s balance column also jumped follow- ing a well-organized cake sale. Valentine Eve saw the frosh successfully present their first dance, and they are anticipating many more in their future years at C. H. S. Making the rounds in the Eastern Section and Egyptian Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they observed the artistic achievements of the ancient civilizations of China and Egypt. This experience was broadened when the class arrived at the China House and enjoyed a Chinese dinner. Mr. Walter Kops, social studies instructor, guided the excursion. Presiding at ninth grade homeroom meetings was president Pete Bonastia with Maurie Eaton, veep, assisting him. Keeper of the class minutes was Frances Grossman, and dues were collected by Mike Kasser. Representing the class at Student Council meetings was Mike Loughnane. The excellent teamwork demonstrated by the fresh- man class is one of the qualities that will insure the gro up enjoyable and productive years at College High. e:3 [48} Firsf row, leit to light: Carolyn Munson, Mary Lee Robb, Janet Cole, Sue Eagles, Joanne Shershin, Frances Gross- man, Susan Larsen.

The boys and girls of the class each planned parties for the incoming seventh graders. These get- togethers enabled the members of the two groups to become better acquainted. Advised by Miss Alice Stewart, the eighth graders elected Bob Drinkuth president, and Bob Sheppaid vice-president. Herbie Lee acted as class scribe, while Frank Hopp took charge of class money matters. Student Council representative was Pete Gottschalk. Specializing in field trips, the Class of ' 57 learned more about modern-day science by touring the Mont- clair Health Department and the Little Falls Purifica- tion Plant. Visiting the New York Museum aided the class in a better understanding of Young America, a social studies topic. The eighth grade ' s annual sojourn to the Metropolitan Opera House was rewarded with the Met ' s rendition of Carmen. Successful cake and pizza sales increased the treasury of the enterprising eighth graders. They faith- fully supported school activities, which included the magazine subscription drive and Thanksgiving contri- butions for the needy. Looking forward to its freshman year, a well pre- pared Class of ' 57 is ready to accept the cheers and tears of senior high.

[49] CLASS OF 1958 Coming in like a lamb and going out like a lion twists the age-old adage, but, nevertheless, it perfectly describes the seventh grade. As soon as the members of the Class of ' 58 became acquainted with each other and the school, officers were elected with the help of Mrs. MoUie C. Winchester, homeroom adviser. Presi- dent Bob Windier conducted meetings; he was assisted by Beverly Hugo, vice-president; Drew Berry, secre- tary, and Jacqueline Fay, treasurer. David Emmons represented the class at Student Council meetings. An ingenious group, the class with the help of Miss Irene Pennington, English instructor and Dr. Ernest Fincher, social studies teacher, produced a talent show which was presented to the school in an enjoy- able assembly period. Included in the talent show were several skits, dances, and instrumental solos. The traditional Christmas pageant was enacted for the seventh grade parents, and it was followed by a Christmas party in the library. Numerous field trips were taken by the Class of ' 58. They thereby found that the business of learning can be combined with pleasure. The Bronx Zoo was visited by the seventh grade, under the direction of Mr. Hugh Allen, science teacher, to observe and study animal habits. During the spring, the class traveled to Trenton and explored the state capitol. Parties and cake sales also added to the seventh grade ' s long list of activities. With one year behind them, the seventh graders are looking forward with great expectations to the remaining five.

Missing from picture: Susan Grossman, Carolyn Howard, Editor-in- Ja roa f THE 1953 LA When class, faculty, and club pictures were taken in October, College High first began to realize that the yearbook was underway. En- couraging shutterbugs to submit informal pic- tures, the photography staff organized a schoolwide contest. A free 1953 La Campanilla was the prize awarded to the student sub- mitting the best snapshot. Tomorrow ' s the deadline became a well- respected and meaningful term to staff mem- bers as they burnt the midnight oil in order to complete their jobs on time. Staff typists were busily occupied when the text for this yearbook started pouring in. Numerous unsus- pecting seniors were sketched by an alert art staff, whose life-like caricatures and cartoons brighten the corners of the pages throughout this volume. Many parents and shopkeepers became acquainted with the La Campanilla advertise- ment procuring staff. The amount of advertising sold mounted daily until the necessary total was finally attained. The staff, headed by Marcia Fair, has set for itself a big job. It has worked very hard and done its best. It hopes that it has turned out a yearbook that will do credit to the memories of the Class of ' 53 in the years to come.

[55} STUDENT COUNCIL Scheduling assemblies, approving dates for College High extracurricular activities, and listening to complaints are a few of the count- less tasks which our student governing body faced this year. Representatives from the six classes and Student Council officers met once a week to discuss and act on pressing school problems. In the first half of the year Richard Rubinson held the reins of student government with Jack Schlegel, vice-president, and Wendy Eaton, secretary. Straighten the chairs, kids, or Clean that messy locker, were frequently heard through- out the building as the Council waged a year- around neatness campaign. Posters in the halls all expressed the Student Council ' s desire to keep College High clean. Hiring transportation to away games oc- cupied much of the Council ' s time. Dr. Keith W. Atkinson backed this program, which resulted in bolstering school spirit. The Student Council Constitution, ratified in the spring of 1952, was published in a December issue of the Crier. Student Council members hoped that this would familiarize the student body with the goals and powers of the student legislature. That hilarious day in June, Playday, is customarily planned and managed by the Council. In Playday ' 53, everyone was given an opportunity to compete in sack races, the pie-eating contest, the izzy-dizzy and the three-legged races. This year has certainly been a busy and productive one for the Student Council. rjgT Seated, leit to light: Ernie Partridge, Wendy Eaton, Dick Rubinson, fack Schlegel, Pete Gottschalk.

Publishing a tri-weekly school newspaper has produced for Cher staff members a knowl- edge of journalism which will prove valuable to them during later years. Education and recreation were combined on every third Wednesday evening in the hilarity of the Crier office. At such times one wondered how anything could get done in the uproar and tumult of the reporters and typists, strug- gling to meet deadlines. Nevertheless the ' 52- ' 53 school year was a most successful one for the Crier. Hats off to the editors of the Crier, who have served the student body well by providing it with current news of school-wide interest.

[57} CHORUS MISS DOROTHY MORSE Heralding the approach of the holiday season, the College High Chorus rehearsed many weeks for the Christmas concert, which initiated the season ' s per- formances. Samples of the selections creating a Yule- tide atmosphere were Wolcum Yole and Balulalow, both written by Benjamin Britten. Miss Dorothy Morse, new choral director, wel- comed the assistance of group officers while planning the programs and finances of the Chorus. The list of officials included Karn Griffen, president; Jack Schlegel, vice-president; Teddy Van Dyke, secretary; Walt Koe- nig and Murray Schmaier, business managers, and Per Saverstrom, librarian. The fifth annual Spring Concert represented the big moment of the year for the Chorus. Spring decora- tions and formal attire provided the setting in which spirituals, old favorites, and classics were presented to an inspired audience. The Junior Chorus, which is com- posed of seventh and eighth graders, also contributed to the program. Preparing for two remaining engagements, the Chorus continued rehearsals every Tuesday and Thurs- day afternoon. Baccalaureate Service, the first of the two remaining Chorus engagements, was held in the auditorium. Taking place in the amphitheatre at dusk, graduation exercises marked the closing of choral activities for the school year.

A bass drum, triangle, and cymbals were included in this recent addition. Conducted by Louis E. Zerbe, the Orchestra mem- bers held their practice sessions Monday and Wednes- day afternoons. The much enlarged, student-governed organiza- tion, with a current membership near thirty, com- menced the year by electing Jean Ann Schlegel, presi- dent; Helen Damiano, vice-president; Joan Vange, secretary-treasurer, and Susan McCleary, librarian. Drawn from grades 7-12, the Orchestra members made their debut at the annual Christmas concert, entertaining their audience with such favorites as the Snow White Fantasy and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. The next performance of the Orchestra was given at the Spring Concert in cooperation with the Chorus. Here the Orchestra played selections which were the accomplishments of many strenuous, but enjoyable weeks of hard practice. At Graduation, the scene of the Orchestra ' s final appearance of the school year, was demonstrated the versatility of the College High instrumentalists. There it was proved that in addition to the semi-classical pieces that had been played in previous Orchestra performances, the Orchestra was capable of presenting a solemn and impressive program. MR.

Club members better acquainted themselves with the Roman language by subscribing to Auxilium Latinum and Nuntius, which are Latin publications. Bulletins written in Latin by the group were sent to these periodicals. Collegium Latinum acted as host to the New Jersey Classical League Convention and there dramatized several scenes from Virgil ' s Aeneid. Leading the 11th and 12th grade section of the Latin Club this year was Steven Grossman, president: Mary Damiano, vice-president: Edna Janowski, secretary: Carol Peacock, treasurer, and Mrs. Paul Knecht, adviser. Miss Lydia Caliandro, 10th grade Latin teacher, advised the 10th grade section of the club. Polishing their accents, the Senior members of Le Cercle Frangais welcomed the new and talkative Juniors. The French Clubmen named Alan Kempler president: Bob Dluhy, vice-president: Gene Jacobs, secretary, and Olivia Gomez, treasurer. Mrs. Paul Cressey advised the group. Crepe flipping and folk dancing sparked the club ' s activities during the year. In November, Tarn Linden- maier welcomed the club into her home to view slides taken in France and Switzerland. Climaxing the activities of Le Cercle Fran?ais was the traditional French dinner, held in late spring.

MASQUERS Organized seven years ago, the College High Bible Study Group, composed of students from all grade levels, has met weekly to discuss the significance of the Bible in the world of today. Can we know God personally? How can we learn His plan for our lives? These are some of the questions which the group has studied and endeavored to answer. Fellowship with similar Bible study groups at both social and devotional functions has highlighted the activities of College High ' s Bible students. The group is advised by Miss Lydia Caliandro. The Masquers of College High could have been found any Tuesday noontime during the past school year in Room No. 3, where they were busily reading scripts, discussing a play, or engaging in tryouts. Heading the organization of the Dramatic Club, were: Jack Schlegel, president; Marcia Fair, vice-president; Cynthia Parsons, secretary, and _ Frances Grossman, chairman of the junior group. College students Ben Harris, Bert Hupferer, Robyn Mendelsohn, and Peggy Leitner aided the club as advisers. Among Masquers productions were: The Nerve of It by John Kirkpatrick, and Christopher Morley ' s Rehearsai.

College High ' s sophomore, junior, and senior girl athletes who comprise the G.A.A. did not fare well dur- ing the past hockey season, having lost all three of their games. Caldwell, Glen Ridge, and Montclair overcame the College High Mares. The co-eds started their basketball season presided over by Livy Gomez. Teddy Van Dyke was elected vice-president; Chris Anderson, secretary, and Anne Lee Knopf, treasurer. Games were scheduled with Passaic Valley, Montclair, Glen Ridge, and Caldwell. Jackie Freeman of Montclair State Teachers College coached the G.A.A. with Miss Eleanor Goff, girls ' athletic director, advising. Insufficient practice was an important factor in the mishaps of the field hockey team, which was coached by Irene Getsinger. However, with some promising performers among the sophomore girls, a topnotch G.A.A. will represent College High in the coming years. Composed of many interested and enthusiastic seventh and eighth grade girls, the Junior Athletic Associa- tion has met weekly throughout the year. The girls spent much time learning and practicing cheerleading in order to cheer at Black and Gold basket- ball games. Aiding and advising the group in cheering was varsity cheerleader Wendy Eaton. J. A. A. activities centered, though, on athletic activities. Field hockey, volleyball, basketball, and Softball were all played in their appropriate seasons. Miss Betty Wensink of Montclair State Teachers Col- lege has advised the girls this year, teaching them the rules of the games and preparing them for the G.A.A. [62] G. A. A.

Lett to light Babette Surgent, Chris- tine Anderson Beginning the year with elections, the lettermen ' s organization selected Karn Griffen as its president, Harrison Smith as vice-president, and FUchard Rubinson as secretary. The club felt that the varsity letters, C and H, were unpopular among the students, and therefore, voted to change the letters on the awards to a large, gold and black M. Following the annual Student-Alumni basketball game, the club sponsored a dance in the college gym. Sieveral assembly programs at which letter awards were handed out to varsity participants were also sponsored by the organization CHEERLEADERS The good looks, the flair for the unusual, and the charm of College High ' s brilliant cheerleading squad have added a cheerful tune to the rather dismal melody of Pony defeats. Captain Connie Volski, a cheerleader for the past two years, led this energetic crew through Pep Steam and Fight Team cheers during all College High football and basketball contests. Cyndy Parsons, Olivia Gomez, Carol Hyde, Anne Lee Knopf, Judy Bowker, Carole Peacock, and Wendy Eaton added their voices to Connie ' s to set the air and the surrounding spectators reverberating. There may be no place in box scores for inspired spirit; but, if there were. Pony teams would be perennial champs.

FOOTBALL This past year saw a young, inexperienced Pony sextet, captained by Dick Fisher, split a four game schedule to finish in a tie for second place. With a starting line-up that consisted of five juniors and one sophomore, the Ponies upset the league champion, McBurney, in the open- ing game of the season. A loss to Oakland Military Academy followed the McBurney vic- tory, and that, in turn, was followed by a winning margin against Halstead School. The season ' s finale saw the Gold and Black fall before the Orange and Blue of Collegiate. The McBurney contest presented the most spectacular note to the football campaign, in a game that saw the lead change hands six times, a forty-yard touchdown pass from Harri- son Smith to Walt Koenig with thirty seconds remaining to play, and a subsequent plunge through the line by Wolfy Fuhr to give College high the needed seven points to edge out the Green Wave, 26-25. Against Halstead, the Ponies were also called upon to come from behind to win. Trailing 13-0 at the half. College High scored thrice to humble the Yonker ' s school, 21-13. Of these twenty-one points, Wolfy Fuhr, who played in only the last half of the game, scored nineteen. Throughout the season the team was bol- stered greatly by the fine support of the underclassmen. These youngsters were un- doubtedly provided with a great deal of valu- able football experience for next year ' s team. First row, lelt to light Harry Todd, Pete Bonastia, Bob Prince, Mike Kasser, Maune Eaton, Mike Wygant, Mike Loughnane Second low Pete Degenhardt, Bill Wycoff, Bill Weber, Dick Fisher, Harrison Smith, Walt Koenig, Moore Craig, Dan Creedon, Steve Degenhardt. r i 12 ..i Seated,, lett to right: Moore Craig, Harrison Smith, Walt Koenig, Rich Rubinson, Dave Krugman, John Crosby, Pete Sommer.

Third row: Barry Grossman, Laurie Hamilton, Mr. Bill Dioguardi, Ernie Partridge. Lack of height, depth, and experience plagued the Black and Gold basketball squad during the 1952-53 season. Coach John Bell directed a starting quintet consisting of Co- Captains Dick Rubinson and Walt Koenig, and first-stringers Dave Krugman, Harrison Smith, and John Crosby. Glen Ridge overwhelmed the Ponies 88-28 in the season ' s opener. The Alumni edged the same quintet 52-51. Verona and Chatham also fattened up on College High by respective scores of 48-24 and 47-31. While the 1953 season appeared to be one of little success, it has, nevertheless, provided the young hoop squad with experience found to be so lacking in all College High athletic activities this year. BASKETBALL [65] .%•. Seated, lelt to light: Dick Shank, Rich Rubinson, Karn Griffen, Alan Kempler, Noel Bartlett. Standing: Laurie Hamilton, Moore Craig, Harrison Smith, Paul Roe. BASEBALL College High ' s baseball varsity failed to win a ball game in 1952. The squad was for the most part inexperienced and relatively inept with both ball and glove. The season opener saw the Ponies drop a well-played game to the Newark Arts nine. Costly errors and genuine hard- luck were the story from that point on. Coach John Bell ' s diamond operatives were stopped by Morris- town and a spring torrent with the winning run at bat. College High also was defeated by St. Bernard ' s, Delbarton, Eastern Academy, and Wardlaw. V ith a year ' s experience under their belts College High ' s 1952 rookies will be valuable assets to the club in future years. PATRONS Marker ' s Bakery, 594 Valley Rd. U. M.
