MOKTCLAIR STAIE UNIVERLITY tmdj.. ERITAGE is a universally important concept. Throughout all of history, it has enriched the minds and spirits of men, while men, in turn, have enriched the heritage of the generations to follow. Today we have spread out before us the experiences of all humanity, a greater accumulation of knowledge than any people before us has enjoyed. In this significant anniversary year on our campus, it is a good time for us to acknowledge the heritage which has originated and molded our current ideals. In six years in College High School, we have assimilated a very small part of the total reservoir of knowledge and thought. During the whole of our lives, we will have the opportunity to sample more of this reservoir and, as a result, to contribute more to the heritage of the future. Our heritage is always with us as the underlying explanation for our being what we are. It is all inclusive: literature, music, art, history, science, religion. We hope that in respecting the past, molding the present, and adding to the future, we shall enrich this heritage of peaceful pursuits. To symbolize our appreciation of our heritage, we have chosen the medie- val woodcut— one important gift from the past. For as the minstrel here spins the tale of College High School in 1958-1959, so does this heritage spin the tale of our lives.

Did you send my record out for college yet? When will we get our report cards? Can I make a phone call? We need the CRIER office key. Would you run this off on the rexo- graph? Could we have some paper clips, scotch tape, the stapler, . . .? One person is the recipient of all these requests; yet she remains calm, very friendly, and apparently happy to answer and fulfill them. This real friend and energetic worker is Mrs. Elizabeth H. Pettegrove, and for these obvious reasons we dedi- cate the 1959 LA CAMPANILLA to her, with sincere thanks and appreciation. Mrs. Eli aLetli H. Pette rove dministration DR. KEITH Y.

They contributed loyal members to Dramatic Club, Chorus, Cheering Squad, and G.A.A., and conducted a successful magazine drive in the fall. Their enthusiastic support of all senior undertakings will not be forgotten. The juniors welcomed Peggy Standish and Carro Svenson to their ambitious and intelligent class in September. They presented the school with a beautifully decorated Winter ' s Night at Christmas-time, and the seniors with the traditional prom and picnic in the spring. Taking over the CRIER brought headlines, deadlines, and late Monday nights. Their wacky aud and frequent par- ties showed cleverness, wit, and an appreciation of fun.

Returning with blond Pat Eberle and Packanack Laker Steve Ward as newcomers, the sopho- mores lost no time in becoming one of the leading classes of the school. Organizing a Theatre Club, they viewed A Touch of the Poet and Flower Drum Song on Broadway.

CLASS OF 1963 Brightening up the lower halls with their cheery faces, the eighth grade started their second year at College High with a bang by initiating the new seventh grade. Under the supervision of Dr. Earley, the class of ' 63 saw the Broadway production Sunrise at Campo- bello, and they also collected rocks for Dr. Reed. Eighth grade boys were the mainstay of the J.V. teams, while the girls cheered them on as members of the J.V. cheering squad.

In evidence of their willingness to work, the class attained highest honors in the Magazine Drive. The seventh grade demonstrated their school spirit and social-mindedness by arranging dates for dances three months in advance, by holding several parties, and by cheering on our teams at all the games. They also endured initiation, stampeded in the lower hall, and held fre- quent snowball fights in the amphitheatre against anyone daring to accept the cha llenge of the fun-loving wee ones.

ALEXANDER BLAIR AIKMAN 19 Vlanor Road, Verona Alex possesses a rare combination of qualities: initiative, dependability, and modesty. His energetic participation in sports and other activities has never kept him from maintaining honor roll standing. Quiet and reserved, Alex is conservative in all he does, yet forceful when the proper occasion arises. Many times class president, Alex has the unusual ability to unify a class or group through his influence. I ' ve heard that one before! And guess what I have for you, Petunia! DIANE BEVERLY BASSETT 192 Garner Avenue, Bloomfield Dee Bassett, known to her readers as Bydee, has enhanced the feature page of the CRIER with her clever, imaginative, and humorous articles which are often accompanied by her own art-work. This is Dee: artistic, sarcastic, and poised. Dee is noted for her fine clothes and good taste. She is a natural athlete, an excel- lent swimmer, a stalwart of the GAA teams, and a cheerleader, having served as captain in her junior year.

Wherever there are discussions you will find Linda taking an active part. From cheering the teams on to victory to coaching the GAA to writing the sports page for the CRIER, Linda exudes enthusiasm for sports.

HERBERT THOMAS CALIFANO 29 Green Knolls Drive, Pines Lake, Wayne Herb has long impressed our class with his exten- sive knowledge of science. This great interest prompted him to attend the TV Physics course, in spite of the fact that Herb lives the farthest from CHS. His agility is evi- denced by his prowess on the football field, as well as by his oft-admired skill on the dance floor. Herb is an experienced, sailor and has won many awards in that sport. You should see what it looks like from in here. f5|;.- ' 4m vvi | . ; ..:■•■ ■;.?;; . .

JOHN MAX CANNEL 450 East 38th Street, Paterson John, our class parliamentarian, combines the out- standing characteristics of the political scientist with those of the rugged individualist. This Patefson-bred Democrat has established himself as an integral part of our class with his cynical, yet pointed, humor. An able speaker, John enjoys a good debate. He can usually be found trying to convince Mrs. Walter that chess is no more a recreational activity than reading. Your move, Mrs. Walter. It ' s perfectly all right — you have my permission. LORRAINE ERSILIA CIMINO 59 Charles Street, Belleville Lorraine is a combination of friendliness, depend- ability, and consideration. Whenever anyone is in trouble, chances are you will find Lorraine doing what- ever she can to help. She often distinguishes herself working on dances, cake sales, and other class affairs.

JOHN VINCENT DRUCKER 138 North Mountain Avenue, Montclair Vince is the class radical. Whether it is a problem of politics or lighting arrangements, Vince ' s solution is sure to be original and is often good. Vince ' s hobby, fortunately for us, is photography, and he has worked industriously for both the CRIER and LA CAMPANIL- LA. Vince, long a worker for the Red Cross, aided their Hungarian relief program after the revolution of 1956. I guess Mr. Darwin was right after all. RONALD HASBROOK DUVALL 526 Highland Avenue, Upper Montclair The two sides of Ron ' s personaHty are the Ron we remember from the Thanksgiving Program, serious of mind and purpose, and the Ron of the upper hall, fun- loving and friendly. Hard-working and conscientious, he has channeled his abilities into his car, the CRIER, the Montclair Beach Club, and the pursuit of happiness (i.e. girls). Clean cut good looks and impeccable man- ners make Ron.

EDWIN JAMES KENNEY, JR. 54 Doherty Drive South, Clifton Ed ' s most enviable trait is his ability to organize and lead. This has been evidenced many times — in sports, the CRIER, Student Council, or wherever a group gathers. Ed ' s athletic abilities run the gamut from foot- ball to basketball to baseball. Equal only to his leader- ship and dependability are Ed ' s wry sense of humor and pessimistic outlook on life. He has been a success in all he has attempted in school. Life is hell.

Chris, pert and popular, can usually be found in the center of a lively group. Here I am!! The woods are beautiful at this time of year. HAROLD JAMES PETTEGROVE 137 McCosh Road, Upper Montclair Through rain, sleet, and snow, Harold has for six years trod the beaten path up the side of the mountain to good old CHS. An avid chess enthusiast, he can usually be found involved in an engaging game in the library or in any other available place. Although the youngest member of our class, Harold ranks with the top students, and his eagerness to participate in class has instigated many brisk discussions.

Catering specifically to the juniors and seniors who were counting the days before they could drive, the Council took definite steps forward in setting up a driver ' s education program. Because of the irritating plastering of No Park- ing stickers on the windshields of student cars, parking permits were obtained through the efforts of the Council. The formulation of plans for an extensive program of assemblies was the last important contribution in the first semester. Officers Pres. William Drinkuth, V.-Pres. Edwin Kenney, Sec.

NO PARKINC HERE!!! Second Semester Continuing in the footsteps of the preceding Council, the new group ob- tained student representation at P.T.A. meetings and expanded the program of assembhes which included films and a talk on colleges and careers. Moving ahead on its own, the second semester Council undertook the task of compiling a student handbook. This contains all rules and regulations concerning dances, assembhes, cake sales, air raids, fire drills, club activities, and use of bulletin boards. The official school song was also included with the hope that all students might become familiar with it. Working on a booth at the College carnival and sponsoring a play-day brought to a successful end the Student Council ' s part in the school year. Officers Pres. Edwin Kenney, V.-Pres.

MUSIC Boasting a total of ninety members, this year ' s Chorus was College High ' s largest ever. Although the group ' s performances at both Christmas and Spring concerts went admirably well, it was only with the imminence of the concerts that the students settled down to really serious business. Even then, there was always the inevitable last-minute confusion over how to march and stand on stage, and the final hectic search for robes, ties, and stoles. The smaller and selected Choir, Miss Dorothy Morse ' s par- ticular pride and joy, carolled in December to the Christmas shoppers in a Paterson department store, in addition to singing in the two regular concerts.

CONTINENTAL CLASSROOM TV Course in Atomic Age Physics The 22 viemhers of College High ' s TV physics class struggled hard to shake off drowsiness and to concen- trate on the tough 6:30 a.m. college course. Each of the 160 lessons then entailed lengthy homework assign- ments. In order to be in school each day before the sunrise, most students organized car-pools. Attendance wa good in spite of long distances and adverse weather. Dr. Harvey E. White, instructor of the nation-wide course and V ice-Chairman of the Department of Physics at the University of California in Berkeley, is shown here in the New York studio working with pendulums. Dr. White later honored the College High senior class by delivering the commencement address. Mr. George F. Placek, College High chemistry and physics teacher, is shown taking notes on a lesson in the NBC studio. These, together with special in- formation supplied by Continental Classroom ,- were duplicated and distributed to students to lessen somewhat the need for note-taking during the lessons. Mrs. Dorothy Culbertson, producer of Continental Classroom for NBC, was presented with an honorary membership scroll in the College High class. Dr. White received a similar scroll. Mr. Placek, seniors Andie Wright and Bill Drinkuth, and NBC Public Relations Director Edward Stanley look on.

RON DUVALL Quarterback Co-Captain 91« FOOTBALL The football team, captained by Ed Kenney and Ron DuVall, again won the Metropolitan Confer- ence this year witli a record of six wins, one tie, and no losses. The team was plagued with injuries throughout the season, but played excellent ball in spite of the broken legs, sprained ankles, dislocated members, and a variety of other casualties. Although the Ponies had a winning season , the games were no push-overs. The battle with McBurney, the increased power of Croydon in the non-league game, and the iinal victory over Halsted are highlights which will not be soon forgotten. College High can be proud of another fine season.

BASKETBALL Kenney and Remig reach for the ball in the Newark Academy game. Basketball Coach William Dioguardi and Captain Ernie Remig. The basketball team, under Captain Ernie Remig, finished the season with a count of nine wins and six losses. Five of the latter category, including the memorable Oratory and Newark Academy games, were lost by no more than three points each. The dramatic win over Carteret after a previous loss was another highlight in a season of e. citing and generally well-played games. i The ' 58 baseball team startled the school by piling up a 5-2-1 record in spite of the rain which washed out four games and about two weeks of Mountainside Park practice. High points of the season were Mark Polderman ' s seven-inning no-hitter against Montclair Academy, the first doubleheader (a split) in CHS history, and those 6-0 and 1-0 victories over Newark.

Beginning with a suc- cessful dance, the Sock Hop, the G.A. entered one of its best years yet. Due largely to under- class support, the girls won the basketball play- day for the first time in seven years and tied for first place in hockey. The skillful playing re- flected the excellent training by Miss Shirley Martin. The enlarged Varsity Cheering Squad, with its high spirit and spar- kle, was led by co-cap- tains Ginny Humphreys and Andie Wright. Memories, other than cheering at games, pep rallies, and Canteen, in- clude sewing on letters, in enting new cheers, being an inhibiting fac- tor at the football ban- quet, and presenting a Sadie Hawkins dance.

The girls were assisted by the school mascot, Putnam Junior, in cheering the boys on to victory. THE YEAR AT A RevieTN or Top Events At the seniors ' western-style winter carnival, The Last Chance, activities included every- thing from card-throwing to basketball-shoot- ing to strength-testing to the ever popular pie- throwing. A new feature this year was a free entertainment program. Profits topped $250 for the scholarship fund. The seniors presented their traditional Thanks- giving service with one new innovation. This was in the form of a short talk on the sig- nificance of the holiday presented by Ron Du- Vall. Prayers, hymns, and readings rounded out the program. As the result of a telephone canva.ising of the entire school the night be- fore, the food baskets were fuller than ever in preparation for their donation to a children ' s nursery. COLLEGE HIGH Ten all-school dances were held this year. As usual, kings and queens were voted in, boosters told crazy tales, refreshment stands icere mobbed, and students maintained a safe danc- ing distance from chaperones. The most unique social event of the year was probably the an- nual Sadie Hawkins dance where most par- ticipants wore Bermuda shorts. The best- dressed couple is shown here. Football games drew large crowds this year, particularly when played at home on Sprague Field, with the new College gym presenting an imposing backdrop. Students, parents, and teachers took pride in the team ' s performances, and also downed large quantities of hot dogs and cokes. Two of the scenes shown here are of the McBurney and Collegiate games, the former, in particular, being a real highlight of the year. A View of tlie Cli anoint ampus The Montclair State College long-term campus construction program finally having been completed, left much mud, but also several new, expansive, and inevitably overflowing parking lots, not to mention the luxurious new classroom buildings, auditorium, gym, and student building. College High students were permitted to make greater use of these facilities than before. The older Spanish- style Administration building, with its clock tower, and College High School seemed in sharp contrast to the campus ' newly modernized appearance. As always, the sunny amphitheatre and mountain trails were popular in warmer weather.
