iimHi-FouAmKnvs i ,- MOHTCLAIR STATE UNIV£R:.ITY As we reach the end of six wonderful years at College High School, we find it difficult to realize that each and every one of us has come to o major stepping- stone in our life. In a few short months, most of us will be study- ing at colleges all over the coun- try, as we strive to obtain our goals. But as we all go out into the world, it will not be easy for us to forget the formative years we spent together at College High. . ? i ' ' -fl .:i ill 1! iB i!

J jTew l i ofdd of tribute o Jne l IJno .J e ckieue We, the class of nineteen hundred fifty-four, dedicate this book, with sincere thanks and gratitude, to Dr. Frank L. Clayton. No member of our class will ever forget the kindness and understanding that he has shown to us as a class or as individuals. Ostensibly, he taught us American history; but more than that, he taught us, by his own example, to be American. In our formative years, we have need of good leaders and wise teachers to whom we may look for guidance; such a person did we find in this man. As a token of our respect, we dedicate this yearbook to our friend, Dr. Frank Clayton. A city within a city . . . The theme chosen for the 1954 LA CAMPA- NULA is the New York Area. We reahze, that living as close as we do to this great city, our lives are constantly affected by it. As a matter of fact, right within College High School we can see a model of New York. Sightseeing tours are leaving soon. If you wish to join us, this is what you will probably see. Of course, some of the names are changed, but the spirit is just the same. Starting in the upper hall (Times Square), we would undoubtedly find ourselves in front of the famous Crier office (Times Building), which issues all our news to us. Moving towards the other end, we would probably pass the art room (Metropolitan Museum of Art), and we might even stop at the hlome Economics room (Stork Club) for a bite to eat. We would then come upon the great library, which, for some reason, has no lions. Proceeding downstairs, we would arrive at the auditorium (Ziegfleld Theatre where one con usually catch a good performance The Heart of C. H. S HDUJARa I H The Heart of New York during tenth grade English classes. In the gym (Madison Square Garden), we could view a fast- moving basketball game. Back in the center of the hall, we might see the College High Office (Chamber of Commerce), where the administration (Guilding Fathers) resides. If we are lucky, we ' ll be just in time for a Student Council meeting (Cabinet Meeting), where the important rules governing the city are made. To top the whole tour off, we have tickets for both a concert of the Orchestra (Philharmonic) and Chorus (Metropolitan Opera Company), which promises to be very successful. And now the tour is about to leave. Won ' t you come along? THE DR. KEITH W. ATKINSON Director MISS CATHERINE M. GENETT Assistant to the Director CITY HALL ADMINISTRATION Under the supervision of Dr. Keith W. Atkinson, Director of College High School, and Miss Catherine M. Genett, Assistant to the Director, the administra- tion ' s program has continued to function in high gear during the past two semesters. In his third year as principal of the school, Dr. Atkinson has constantly strived to make College High School better fulfill student needs. Miss Genett, in her first year with the administration, has added much to the College High scene with her youthful vigor. Mrs. Mollie C. Winchester and Mr. Harold C. Bohn have also been big contributors to the College High program. In the role of librarian, Mrs. Winchester has always been most generous in her assistance to students. Likewise, Mr. Bohn has been a guiding force to students in his capacity of senior homeroom adviser. Included among administration accomplishments this year were the remodeling of the locker rooms, guidance room, and several classrooms. Seventh and eighth grade courses were set up in such a manner that progress reports were substituted for marks. Guidance work was continued in the upper classes, so as to better prepare students for college life. MR. HAROLD C. BOHN Senior Class Adviser MRS. MOLLIE C.

Cohen Modern History THE COM As a student looks back on his high school days, one of the itenns that rennains foremost in his mind is that of his relationship with his teachers. A professor ' s job involves more than just teaching the subject in which he special- izes. A good instructor takes a personal interest in each student and passes on to Mr. Lawrence Conrad English 10 Mrs. Paul C. Cressey French Dr. Robert R. Davis Math II Mr. William P.

It should also be his aim to develop the student ' s mental capacity, so that he will be better able to cope with the prob- lems one meets in later life. These are some of the qual- ities that have made the College hfigh faculty out- standing. Miss S. Marie Kuhnen Biology Or. Virgil S. Mallory Math 10 Dr. Maurice P. Moffatt Miss Dorothy J.

The four active clubs of C.hl.S., French, Latin, Dance, and Bible, comprise among their members, most of the school ' s students. With Mme. Cressey as adviser, the French Club continued its policy of ac- quainting the members with the people and customs of France, inviting the ex- change students from the college to meetings. The two new clubs, the Camera Club and the Modern Dance club, have made an excellent start toward becoming two of College High ' s most active organizations.

BUSINESS AND LITERARY EDITORS Left to right: David Krugman, literary editor; Joan Adams, advertising editor; Bob DIuhy, business manager. [14] As soon as school began In September, the seniors fully realized that the time had come to begin the task of publishing their yearbook. With Paul Rowe chosen as editor-in-chief, the staff immediately began their search for a publisher. In the organization of LA CAMPANULA, this was the first step In a highly complicated system. Later in the year came the mad rushes to beat deadlines. Many staff members spent evenings burning the midnight oil In an effort to keep things moving on schedule. Included In this group were the literary editors, who had to keep written work pouring In so that the typists could complete their work on time. The art and photography staffs also hod their hands full. Many a senior had their caricatures taken at on unsuspecting moment, thanks to an alert art staff. The business and advertising staffs also found early soliciting necessary. Students were urged to buy subcrlptions, while parents and local merchants soon became acquainted with members of the LA CAMPANILLA adver- tising staff.

Planning interesting assemblies, transportation for away games, and the sponsoring of several cam- paigns were the immediate problems discussed. The Council wgs presided over by Dave Krug- mdn; Bob DIuhy and Christine Anderson were vice- president and secretary, respectively. Increasing the Council ' s power, and student interest, were two outstanding problems which faced the Council. Planning a joint panel discussion between faculty, administration and students to discuss the problems of restricted smoking and athletic insurance, was another Council project. [16] Officers Address Students LOCAL GAZETTE The printed voice of College High — this is the Crier. Token over by the class of ' 54 in the middle of their junior year, some changes were made in the feature department of the paper. They added a spotlight each issue, featuring some student of C.hH.S. They also interspersed the common feature stories with poetry and puzzles. Trying to maintain last year ' s first class rating, the staff continued the policy of including the entire school in both features and news stories.

The organization commenced its year by elect- ing Jean Anne Schlegel, president; Noel Bcrtlett, vice-president; Joan Vonge, secretary-treasurer, and Ha Schmidt, librarian. The group ' s first public appearance of the year was at the annual Christmas Concert. Selections from Hansel and Gre+el and Santa Claus is Comin ' to Town were presented by the entire group. At the annuo! Spring Concert, the Orchestra made its next appearance, performing in conjunc- tion with the Chorus.

Its members could often be seen in the gym, interpreting, in terms oi dance, their psychological outioolts on life, or the movement of a professor hurrying to a class on a windy doy. Or they might be found huddled in a corner of the gym, discussing, under the expert guidance and leadership of Miss Eleanor Goff. The Individual in Relotionship to His Own Particular Rhythm and Movement. The club presented a program of the Donee for the students, and also attended symposiums held in nearby high schools. Kathy Drucker presided over the group, and minutes were token by Frances Grossman. Organizing quickly, under the direction of their advisor Dr. Corolyn E. Bock, the Latin Club chose Decern Leglo Caesaris os the name of their group.

Officers elected by the club were: Richard Atkinson, president: Mike Loughnane, vice-president; Mourie Eaton, secretary; Mary Lee Robb, treasurer, and Guerry Suggs, corresponding secretary.

The College High Varsity Club opened the year with the election of officers. Harrison Smith was elected president, while Walt Koenig was named vice-president and Wolf Fuhr, secretary- treasurer. The club felt that it was not participating in as many activities as it should, so as a result, it scheduled a few assembly programs and acted as co-sponsor of the student-alumni game dance. Left to right: Babette Surgent, Ann Palmer, Christine Ander- son, Carol Ann Peacock, Wendy Eaton, Helen Damiano. Carol Hyde, and Ann Lee Knopf. College High ' s cheerleaders, led by Captain Carol Hyde, performed in their usual fine man- ner in 1953-54. The large squad of ten. Including three substitutes, blended their voices, pep, and spirit with Carol ' s at every football and basketball contest. Several new cheers for both football and basketball were devised, thereby adding a note of originality to the squad ' s performance. CHEERLEADERS J. A. A. Composed of many girls interested in sports, the Junior Athletic Association entered into an extensive program in 1953. It planned to prepare the members for membership in the GAA in future years.

G. A. A. J f II Although they are not seen in the halls of College High as often as the seniors, the underclassmen are the life blood of the school. From shy seventh grader to blase junior, the underclassmen are Col- lege High. Their support of senior projects will never be forgotten by this year ' s graduating class. Someday, they will be seniors and realize the enormous help a cooperative school body is to seniors try- ing to raise money or give a program. The following pages are given to pictures and stories concerning the underclassmen. Look at them well; they ore your school! IN COLLEGE HIGH IN NEW YORK Slaughter on Tenth Avenue - ,„ ,,. joV n ° ' - CLASS OF 1959 This was on eventful year for the seventh grade. Their first job, of course, was to get acquainted with each other and with C.hf.S. After doing this, they chose Norman Bohn to preside over them for the first semester. Assisting him were Ronald DuVal, vice-president; John Sommer, secretary, and Joan Damiono, treasurer. Then, they presented a talent show, modeled after Arthur Godfrey ' s Talent Scouts. The leading role was portrayed by Alex Aikman. The class also took a field trip to the Bronx Zoo with Mr. Alien, Dr. Flncher. and Miss Pennington, but, much to their dismay, the platypus was not on exhibition. They also went to Carnegie Hall with Miss Morse and saw Ania Dorfman ploy the piano. With their first year behind them, the seventh groders are now eagerly looking forward to the remaining five.

Their enthusiasm bubbled through the year, and Susie Heil certainly was kept busy counting the money received from the mony cake sales. President Bob Drlnkuth conducted meetings; he was assisted by Steve White, vice-president, and Sandy Short, secretary. In December, under the direction of Mr. Fox, their English teacher, the freshmen presented one of the year ' s outstanding auditorium programs.

In our school work, extra-curric- ular activities, and social functions, we have shared our experiences, and through a mutual understanding for each other, we have solved many of our problems together. As a class, and as individuals, we hove tried to uphold the warm tradition of College High School. Where we have succeeded, we consider it a feather in our cap; where we have failed, and we hope this has not been often, we can only hope that future classes will better our achievements. • • • OF COLLEGE HIGH OF NEW YORK mt JOAN RUTH ADAMS 7 NORTH I7TH STREET EAST ORANGE Crier; Yearbook; Chorus 9, 10, II. 12; In+ernaHonal Relations Club 12; G.

Dark brown hair and sparking blue eyes reflect her vibrant personality, full of humor and wholesome fun. These outstanding characteristics have made Joan a must at any class party. She combines these traits with a creative imagination, to produce Grade A material. Many of the feature stories in the CRIER are examples of Joan ' s efficient handiwork. If the class needs help in a specialized area, Joan knows a man for any situation. Whenever we run into a blank wall, Joan ' s suggestions are the solution. [40] Joan 1 , Class Vice-President 10.

MARY L DAMIANO 46 HAMILTON AVENUE CLIFTON The dreamer lives forever, While the toiler dies in a day. Bunny ' s naturally curly locks, sensitive gray eyes, and soft smile, clearly depict her as our dreamer. But our dreamer is not on impractical visionary. Her capability and willingness to work led us to elect her as Class President during our junior year. Bunny has not forgotten to put forth these qualities for the benefit of C.f .S. This year, through her initiative and planning, a new club was added to our extra-curricular life— the International Relations Club. Bunny has become our expert in this field, where her primary interest is the United Nations. iunny [41] Rt.

Helen ' s outstanding artistic ability takes form in posters, car- icatures, and illustrations for children ' s books. Since the seventh grade, we ' ve turned to hielen innunnerable times to advertise our projects and activities, and in return, have received top-notch results. Along with her amazing artistic talent, Helen embodies a genuine writing ability. Besides envying Helen ' s creative abilities, many a girl has turned a wistful eye in the direction of her tiny waist. Not to be forgotten is Helen ' s quick sense of humor, which has livened many a period (both in and out of class) for her fellow ' 54 ' ers.

ROBERT G. DLUHY 15 HILLCREST AVENUE CLIFTON A roar of good-natured laughter — we can give odds that Bob had a hand in its origination. Remarkable wit and a genuine interest in doing the best possible job in whatever he undertakes, makes Bob a guiding force in our school community. A hard worker, Bob serves his class and school as a competent leader. As Editor-in-Chief of the CRIER he has done an outstanding job in publishing a top- grade paper. Bob ' s diversified interests range from astronomy to baseball. hHowever, Bob doesn ' t let his extra-curricular activities injure his academic record, for his name consistently heads the honor roll list.

We all know Wendy ' s enthusiasm when she dons the black and gold cheering uniform and spiritedly encourages our varsity teams in their fight for victory. Academically speaking, Wendy has plenty on the boll. She affords stiff competition to any boy in the physics and math departments. As if this isn ' t enough for such a small gal, Wendy has displayed capability by always yielding the best possible results in any office she has held.

One - two - three - four, and the football Ponies gallop around the left side for a gain of five yards. But who initiated the play? You guessed it — Laurie, the varsity center for College htigh School since his entrance in our sophomore year. Besides playing first string center, Laurie has done the extra-point kicking for the Ponies, hie also enjoyes watching other sports, both professional and college. Automobile mechanics also interest Laurie, while his ' 39 Oldsmobile provides a good practical application for experimentation. Fading into the desk work and theoretical phase of mechanics is Laurie ' s interest in mechanical drawing and designing.

Harry ' s tastes vary from the heights of the atmosphere to the depths of the seas. As a private in the Civil Air Patrol, Harry has had the opportunity to gaze at our Metropolitan Area from a perspective unknown to most of us — from the cockpit of a piper cub. While on terra ferma, he devotes his leisure hours to breeding Iropical fish Besides respecting Harry for his unusual diversions, we admire him for his innate politeness and willing cooperation. His Ingenuity has often proven invaluable during homeroom meetings. We accredit Harry with severol of our most successful business ventures.

An endless amount of vim and vigor added to a black and gold uniform makes Anne Lee an indispensible cheerleader. She carries over this vitality into G. A.

The students, recognizing his ability and leadership, elected him to the top office in the school community — Student Council President. College hiigh will find it dif- ficult to fill Dave ' s shoes on the basketball court next season, h is accurate shooting has netted many a point for the Pony squad. Al- though usually quiet, Dave ' s dry sense of humor has brightened many a dull chore. As we look over Dave ' s record, we wonder how we ever managed without him as a member of our class in preceding years. [53] DARIEL W.

On any schoolday, chugging along the road up to good old C.H.S., we find a dark green ' 47 Ford coupe. Reaching the sunnmit of the hill, the car stops, and a young sophisticate with a long, blonde, pageboy emerges. As this pretty miss makes her way toward the school building, a chorus of wolf-whistles may be heard coming from every direction of the campus. Praise by members of the opposite sex has become routine to Dariel. She rates high not only with the male populace, but also with the girls of ' 54 because of her social and athletic abilities. In the position of goalie on the G.A.A. team, Dariel represented trouble for any opposing scorers.

It didn ' t take long for this flaxen-haired miss to moke herself known in the C.H.S. surroundings. Naturally interested in sports (swimming and skating among her favorites), Ricki became an active member of the G.A.A. Besides envying Ricki for her athletic ability, many a girl longs for her nimble fingers with a sewing needle.
