COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL South Orange and Maplewood New Jersey â â â DEDICATION I'lie high school years of the class of 1944 saw the United States change from a country at peace to a powerful nation at war. The conflict in which we have become embroiled has altered our lives at Columbia. We have undertaken new studies to prepare ourselves to aid in the battle for victory; we have devoted our free moments to making direct contributions, in such ways as possible, to the war effort; we have had to change our future plans and to delay the pursuit of our careers until we shall have secured a peace once more. It seems appropriate, therefore, that we, the class of 1944, dedicate our Mirror to the concept that means so much to usâ Looking forward, we find that we have a new future to face, a new future for ourselves and for the world, a future that we must plan and work for. Many of our classmates are now lighting to preserve those ideals upon which the world of tomorrow must he based, and it will not he long before we, too, shall have joined the struggle. When the war is won, it will rest with us, the students of today, to help make the post war world worthy of those who died for its sake. We will build it upon democratic ideals, and we will strive to make it a place in which our futures will he secure and in which we shall he proud to have our children live. A LASTING WORLD PEACE FREDERIC J. CREHAN Acting Principal Cl RTIS H. THRELKELD Superintendent JOHN II. BOSSHART Ntw Jtrtey Stale Comminioner of Education A Message From Mr. Crehan .... Our aims in this war have been stated in many ways by many per- sons. The statements vary in character from the concise Atlantic Charter to detailed descriptions of a post-war world organization. Expressed or implied in all of them, however, the thought persists that there must not he another war, that there must he devised a practical plan for a lasting world peace. There have been many attempts during the centuries to eliminate the crime of war, or to diminish its frequency. They have ranged from the Pax Romana to the League of Nations. All such attempts have so far failed. Moreover, our American plan of political isolation has not kep even us at peace. We have seen in 1917 and again in 1941 that we are inextricably bound up in the affairs of the world, that we cannot remain at peace while the rest of the world is at war. We should know now that peace as well as war is indivisible. Despite the failure of our past national policy to keep us at peace, and of all attempts to organize the world for permanent peace, the search must go on. The end of this war will give us another chance, perhaps our last, to build a peaceful world. What responsibility will you, the members of the class of 1944, have for the solution of this problem? You have the obligation to inform yourselves about the problems of world peace, to study the plans that have been made in the past, and to learn why they failed. You must understand the factorsâ economic, technological, social, racial, political, psychologicalâwhich operate to place practical limitations on international action. You must develop a sympathetic and receptive understanding of other peo- ples. You must discover what the United States can do to help build a just and lasting peace. For âblood and tears shall he the inheritance of that people who neglect to learn and to teach . . . that it is neces- sary for men to live at peace if they want to live at all ADMINISTRATION Mr. John H. Bosshart, for 17 years superintendent of schools, lias been signally honored in his appoint- ment to the office of New Jersey State Commissioner of Education. Mr. Curtis H. Threlkeld. Principal of Columbia High School since 1927. lias been equally honored in his appointment to the post of Superin- tendent of Schools. Mr. Frederic J. Crehan. ice- principal of Columbia for 17 years, has been made Acting Principal; and Mr. Harry B. Shceley. formerly history teacher and class guide, has been made Acting Vice-principal and Dean of Boys, to serve along with Miss Mary Henderson, Vice-principal and Dean of Girls. The editors of the Mirror feel that they speak for the entire student body in expressing best wishes to our new administrators, in full knowledge that they, as able educators, will carry on Columbiaâs high standards.

It is difficult, somehow, to look hack to a time when eighteen-year-old hoys still wore tweed jackets and saddle shoes. Our brothers before us gladly laid aside their tweed jackets for those of khaki. Now the challenge is to us. We, the grad- uating class of 1944, must give of our best in de- fense of our high principles, for we arc America's citizens of tomorrow. W e look hack, some of us with nostalgia, some with regret for wasted opportunity, some with a feeling of accomplishment, upon our three years at Columbia. And these are the things we re- member. e were sophomores when the United States entered the war. Since then, the members of our class have been witnesses and active participants in a great many innovations brought about in a necessary effort to adapt us to a war-time world. There were, of course, changes in curricula: new subjects were introduced preparatory to our active participation in the war. Special emphasis was placed upon mathematics and the sciences, as prep- aration for our imminent induction into the armed services. Health is vital to youth at any time, hut par- ticularly during a war. The physical education department has now more than ever become an important part of Columbia's schedule.

During our three years at Columbia, a new organization has come into beingâtlie Victory Corps. Its six divisionsâGeneral, Community Service, Production, Land, Sea, and Airâwere organized as a preparation for military service and as an aid to the war effort. Through the Gen- eral Division of the Victory Corps was launched the memorable bond drive of 1942. which raised $115,000. In recent years, one of our most vivid recol- lections of high school days will he Columbiaâs football games. ho can ever forget those thrill- ing Saturday afternoons at Underhill Field, or who can forget our traditional Thanksgiving games with W est Orange? Phis year, it is true, our victories were few. The stars of last yearâs team had been graduated or had entered the armed services, leav- ing Columbia a new, untrained team. Although we lost the majority of this yearâs games, the team improved remarkably as the season progressed, and always displayed a brilliant spirit. W e think we were a class of fine histrionic aliil- Class History ity. Future Columbia students will remember us particularly for our unusual Junior Night, a musical extravaganza with a war-time theme. The scene of âTime and a Half was laid in a defense plant. The characters ranged from factory workers to Hollywood glamour girls, and the show featured a number of clever and original dances. Most of the class took part in Junior Night. In 1943, after much deliberation, the senior class decided upon âThe Barretts as its class play. Primarily the story of the love affair between Eliz- abeth Barrett and Robert Browning, the action occurred in a Victorian setting. âThe Barretts was played by an exceptionally fine cast and will long be remembered. Columbia lost, this year, an old friend and adviser. Mr. Curtis II. Thrclkcld, who has been our principal for sixteen years. Because of his promotion to Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Thrclkcld has had to leave Columbia; but we shall never forget him. Acting in his place is Mr. Frederic J. Crehan, previous vice-principal. These arc some of the things we remember. But there art; other things, bigger things, which will always remain with us. We have made life- long friends at Columbia.

To the students in general: a sure-fire exer- cise to get rid of slight list to starboard which invariably evidences itself once the load of hooks is removed from the hip. To those unsure of foot: a step in the girlsâ lunchroom which doesn't jump up and snap at vou when youâre (lying low with a tray-load of dishes. To the ever-credulous sophomores: the warn- ing never to ask directions of anyone whose nose is not buried in âColumbian Highlights.â To the mechanical drawing classes: ink which doesnât smear itself all over the drawing when youâre away from your desk. To the House and Grounds Committee: search warrants. To Miss Silvernail: library chairs which donât screech like banshees every time a restless reader launches on a round-trip of the room; also, stu- dents who donât âoh.â âah,â and âoli-ohâ every time the library telephone rings. To the medical staff: some new and logical symptoms. To th e school: a balcony which does not give you the impression that youâre about to pitch headlong over the railing when you descend tin stairs. To the Assembly Committee: a student audi- ence which docs not clap and cheer frantically, like beings possessed, in order to shorten the work- ing (?) day. (Or perhaps the A.

To those having late (oh. very!) lunch: a live- minute intermission between periods three and four in which to gulp down that part of your lunch which is gulped down anyway, blit which is often a hindrance to class recitation. To English teachers: short-story aspirants who have normal, healthy minds, instead of the murky- swamp, cold, grey-fog variety which unfailingly crops up every year. To Miss Baiardi: a Spanish (imagine!) class with sober-minded, serious students. To the School Council: homeroom representa- tives who, if they must come to meetings late, will not trip and drape themselves dramatically and noisily over at least three chairs in the back row.

Oh, hut we were only fooling! Because âThe Barrettsâ was one of the very brightest highlights in the amazing career of that outstanding class of 1944. Yes, the production will go down brilliantly in the annals of Columbiaâs history, for not only did Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning step right smack out of our English kit. books onto our stage, but they were even more glorified by our splendid interpretations of said poet and spouseâ even if we do say so ourselves, as who shouldnât! Of course the going got a hit rough at times. For instance, the afternoon when Elizabeth's ruffled petticoats remained at down-stage right while Elizabeth herself was swooning merrily away at upstage center! âBut we didn't let that stop usââno, we even reached the point where we could enummerate (with no extra charge) the features of our composite Senior Play character: âYour complexion is muddy, most unpleasant âVery beautiful slim shouldersââ âProbably the hipâthe lower limbs deformedââ âDonât tell me you can bear to part with one hair of those beautiful whiskers?'' âI believe you've put on weight âIt's so difficult to know where one's feet are: Papaââ Page Twenty-three Seniors JEANE D.

'4 COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL THE MIRROR 4 âThe melee sounds horribleâor arc wc boring you ? âThe Barrettsâ were a remarkable, lovable family who immortalized the name of Wimpolc Street and whose intricacies and entanglements constituted this yearâs Senior Play. Paternal dom- inance reigned supreme over the Barrett children until Elizabeth, the famed poetess, defied the will of her tyrannical father by eloping with the equally famed Robert Browning. Among the other famih difficulties were the poor progression of the love affairs of another daughter, Henrietta, the object of whose affections was dashing Captain Surtees Cook; and the usual complications of brothers and sisters, namely Octavius, Arabel and George. Fur- ther mishaps and glee were added by the presence of Mill Milford, a flighty but well-known novelist of the day; Cousin John Demon, a wealthy patron of the arts; Milly and Wilson, who were the 1840 counterparts of our present-day maid problem: and Flush. Elizabethâs faithful canine companion a most ably interpreted role! â'Fhe Barretsâ was a great showâand we be- hind the footlights enjoyed it almost more than those out front! Senior Play IMPRESSIONS ON THE THESPIAN ART By Flush Little did I know when I was a foolish pup, leading my trivial, inconsequential existence, com- pletely ignoring the higher, more cultural aspects of life, that the day would dawn when I, too. would he attracted by the irresistible call of the theater. Poetry, also, was beyond my petty realm of com- prehension, for I had never tasted the exquisite fruits of literary knowledgeâwith one exception. For, to me, Elizabeth Barrett was but a picture I had carelessly eaten for lunch from a book in- advertently dropped and neglected near my favor- ite haunt in the library. One day, on overhearing a conversation con- cerning the need for a talented canine to complete the cast of the Senior Play at Columbia High School, I realized that here, perhaps, was the answer to my meditations on the futility of life!

They rush frantically over to the shelves and proceed to disrupt the alleged peace, and quiet of the sacred archives of Columbia High Schoolâs famed library. In one corner we see Mary Leo Shiman still struggling valiantly over her fifth year of French IV; otherwise the proverbial âold order hath changeth, giving place to new. Students in plastic clothes have taken the place of our old friends in tweeds and sweaters. Yes, there is a distinctly ultra-modern air about good old Columbia High School. Now theyâve got Vige Twenty-six Root Beer in the drinking fountains. (But, don't worry, it's only some old carbon dioxide they had lying around!) So our two little friends run over and stand on each otherâs shoulders and soon they have heroical- ly lifted Who's Who down from its dusty repose on the dusty shelves. (No offense, Mr. Wal- brccher!) They manage to place the revered volume on the nearby table, and with a flick of one of their pinkies they flip that nasty big old W ebsterâs Dictionary to the other side of the desk, dramatically hold their breaths, and carefully open the book. Who knows what hidden depths of knowledge they will uncover? âHm, hinni, h in in,â say they as they thumb through these brilliant pages of history. âIlniin, Inn.â âSay, look, hereâs an interesting name, Betty Jane Fountain.

COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL 1 THE MIRROR Class Prophecy sheâs written about Diane Arras's miraculous swim up over Niagara Falls in a barrel (and a bathing suit). Diane also manages a theatrical agency in Iter spare time. And about Jane Kullâs pitching for the New York Y ankees with Catherine Neimitz playing catcher! (And may we add they had a very successful season.) And hereâs a column on Jane Gcisscle. the sensational tight-rope walker, with her long flowing black hair cut short enough so she won't trip over it! â'Phc well-known Betty Griflingor and Patty Gil- bertson (the beautiful president of the Aquarium, who admires all things nautical and is connected with the Navy), it says, are holding New Yoork audiences enthralled with their amazing juggling act: and Carol Kasen, the successful snake charmer (with an eye out for our Foreign Policy), is enter- taining at the Circus. (Snakes for the above act arc supplied by Jack Steigerwald, the famous ele- phant trainer.) Jack Kruse leads the circus band, Rob Mendc is the ring-master, and Pat Day is reported to have a peanut vending concession at the back entrance! Here it says that Dot Harrison, the well-known barker (yes, mv dear, positively!), is enticing people in to see Rose Perry, the Fat Lady, play her remarkable bugle solo, and to see Rob ard, the Thin Man and Electrical Genius (it says here!). Joan Rottelli is said to have a double trapeze act with Eddie Ortzen; and Cheryl Cassidy, the comedienne, is an added attraction. âOh, and here's an article about Margot Trimble (former President of Vassal ) and Etna Schneider (former President of W ellesley), who for the sake of humanity, together with Retty Monk and Pat Goldin, have founded a girls' boarding school in the interior of Tibet; and it tells here how Rud Wolfcrt and Claire Van Orden are talent scouts looking for prospective students in the heart of the Rclgian Congo. And hereâs something about Joan Conkling. the feminine F. P. Adams, stump- ing the Board of Experts on Information Please. (Roard consisting of Mary Carlaw, expert in field of science, and John Sodoma, expert in field of sportsâa very enlightened combination, to say the least!) And hereâs Barbara Saunicr, the Ilka Chase of her day, interviewing Art Gerweck and Tom Martin, men-about-town. (I mean re-ally). And there are Marybellc Littell and Jean Strelow and Barbara Raymondâthey were especially noted for their newest chemical concoction tie- signed to take the kink out of Jerry Schultz's hair.

She's very ably assisted by two genial hostesses, Cis Wilson and Pat Malone (who puts in a good word for Federal Union every now and then). And, hey, wait! Here's Boh Schmidt and Sonny Saenger doing advance publicity work for Charles Atlas, with Tommy Eustis along in case anything goes wrong, as well as Howard Ford, who likes a little excitement every once in a while, too! âAnd look!

COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL Activities THE MIRROR SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER Had Oliver Goldsmith been resur- rected from his illustrious eighteenth- century grave, we're sure he would have beamed with pride at Parnassian Societyâs February production of âShe Stoops to Conquer. A revival of any classic drama always holds a particular challenge, espe- cially when it is to he presented by a high- school group. But we found that âstooping to conquer was a most delightful pastime, and, thus duly inspired, we set about to rc-I most successfully, too! ivc âThe mistakes of a nightââand Of course it was rather startling to run into ourselves in the dressing-room mirror, elaborately laden down with gleaming white wigs and weighty costumes of brocade and satinâall crowned with those very prosaic cardboard tags warn- ing: DO NOT REMOVE! Yes, even Papa Hardcastlc found that it was quite difficult to take that garrison without spilling a drop of bloodâ while his black silk stockings were swimming complacently about the gold buckles of his eigh- teenth-century shoes! W ith a rather unusual cast consisting chiefly of sophomores (which is an innovation in itself in the very venerable Parnassian Society), Miss Memory, very capably assisted by Elinor Joscphson, proceeded to instruct us in the Page Eighty-one Seniors WARING PADDOCK âSkipâ 44 Mouniain Avenue, Maplewood FootballâJunior Varsity 2).

COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL Activities refined fe ts of flirtin':, playing pranks, proposing, and various and sundry oilier little everyday frivolities. All, for tlie life of an eighteenth-century dude! In fact, being a barmaid for a night turned out to be rather a hilarious affair; and portraying a ââcharming coquetteâ was even more gratifying. Young Marlow, though a faltering, bashful gentlemen among modest, well-bred ladies, seemed quite at home and very easily enticed by the innocent wiles of Kate who was masquerading as a âpoor relation of the family.â Complications ensued with the intrigues and escapades of the notorious Tony Lumpkin, motherâs- darling and prankster-supreme of the Ilardcastle family. Then Papaâs further distress was caused by the âmodern modesty or old-fashioned impudence of the two visiting suitors, Hastings ami Marlow. 'Poo. Squire Ilardcastle was not only confronted with a servant problem (Diggory, et al.. whose mental capacities were sadly lacking), but a flighty wife, and a pre-arranged betrothal between bis daughter Kate and young Marlow, which all helped to upset the normal Ilardcastle routine no end. Mrs. Hardcastlc herself was deeply concerned with the match of her âdear sweet agreeable horrid son. Tony, and her captivating ward. Miss Constance Neville, who in turn shocked the family and floored her aunt by running off with Mr. Hastings. So you can well see that old Columbia was rather a lively place on the night of February twelfthâwhat with barmaids, inebriates, doting parents, and frustrated lovers merrily cavorting about the stage. Though probably Mr. Goldsmith would scarcely have been recognized in the crowd, be certainly would have enjoyed himselfâeveryone else did!

L '4 COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL 1 THE MIRROR 4 Activities ART SERVICE GROUP The Art Service Group con- sists of a group of art students who are on hand at all times to help out in any of the organiza- tions in Columbia whose activities require art work. These artists create advertising posters for cluh meetings, school dances, etc., as well as designing and painting scenery for school plays. The cluh also lends its talents to the war effort by making posters for bond drives and other government-sponsored campaigns. This year, in addition to these customary activities, the Art Service Group has been taking part in Junior Red Cross work by making menus to he put on Christmas trays for our sick sailors. The cluh docs not meet regularly hut func- tions whenever its services are needed. This work not only helps school organizations hut also enables the students participating in it to get practical art-work practice even beyond what they receive in class room instruction.

Un- der the leadership of the chairman of the darkroom committee, Harry Augenhlick, the main function of the club has been to increase the proficiency of its beginners. Among the other activities of tlie club are practical demonstrations and lectures, and semi-annual exhibits. Persons skilled in specific branches of photog- raphy are often invited to lecture at the monthly meetings. The mem- bers of the club are always willing to offer any advice or criticism to a fellow camera enthusiast. Special meetings arc also held whereby the club travels en masse to some predetermined destination where they take shots of certain assignments. These outings have been among the high points of the year's activities and have given the members a chance to compare their different interpretations of the same subject.

THE MIRROR B COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL Activities CAMOUFLAGE CLUB The Camouflage Club, begun last year to assist anyone inter- ested, discusses tlie art of camou- flage at its monthly meetings, and its members Learn bow to apply their knowledge on models. The club also urges its members to try their own ideas and, if possible, add to what is already known about this comparatively new war science. Camouflagers learn that there is no black magic about camouflage and by their own efforts discover that it is a combination of hard work, imagination, and common sense. On small models and sketches of troops, military works, or supplies, members learn to trick the observer by camouflage. Three fundamental practices are (1) to hide the object, by using material or artificial structure that blends with the background; (2) to blend background with pattern, texture, tone, and color in order to make it indistinguishable from landscape; (3) to deceive the eye with decoys and dummies that distract attention from vital points.

This knowl- edge is especially important now when so many mothers, busy with war work and unable to hire full- time adult help, need high school girls to take care of their children. Many members art; responsible for the care of younger brothers and sisters or children in their neighbor- hood. Topics such as discipline, feeding, and how to amuse a child are announced in advance and arc then discussed at the monthly meet- ings. Any member may ask club advice on a particular problem con- cerning child care; the club will discuss it and offer helpful suggestions. In order to get a more practical knowledge of the subject, several mem- bers have visited classes at Fielding School. Here they see application of theory and observe evidence in children of the facts learned at the meetings. Page Eighty-seven ANITA RIORDAN 359 Prospect Street. South Orange Glee Club (2. 3, 4); G. A.

Other members obtained part-time jolts in industrial and com- mercial organizations. Club activi- ties in school were cancelled until this January when a small group of enthusiasts started a new program of school activities. They visited the Latin-Amcrican Institute to learn more about Spanish-Shorthand, and planned their annual New York trip to include a visit to a South American importing and exporting company and a theatre party. The constitution is being revised, and it is hoped that the new plan will include a service group that will meet the need for secretarial help within the school. The Commercial Club in the past has always been a large and an active organization. Now that it is getting under way again, there is no reason why it should not prosper in the future.

This year the Forum Romanum lias con- tributed its effort to the war in sponsoring the collection of junk jewelryâ for the hoys in service to use in bartering with the natives in the Pacific theatre of war, and has also sent warm clothing to the suf- fering peoples of Greece. Opportunity is given to all the members to contribute material and ideas for the monthly meetings and to take an active part in the meetings. An amusing Halloweâen party and a beautiful Christmas program were two of the highlights of the year. A great deal of the success of the club is attributed to its sponsors, who expend much time and work in making the organization worth while.

The program committee tries to give as many members as possible a chance to assist in this effort. The French Club this year has produced several amusing plays in French. LâAnglias Tel Qu âon lc Parle,â presented early in the year, was especially enter- taining. The publication of a newspaper, âLa Petite Fcuillc,â has stim- ulated and furthered an interest in written French. Thus club members arc gaining valuable experience in applying their knowledge of the language. The club realizes that it is especially important now to get a good basic foundation in foreign languages since the government is providing opportunities for intensive study in languages to prepare trained linguists for post-war positions.

Hard work on tin part of a few interested students and the sponsor, got the organization off to a good start, and active member- ship during the year made the Guild a going concern which it hopes to remain. The clubâs aim is to satisfy and inform those of Columbia's students interested in literature and related subjects, such as art, music, and drama. The program committee, headed by Don Lasser, took charge of monthly meetings at which members read their own prose and poetry, wrote and produced skits, and discussed the literature of other countries. Particularly enjoyed was the Guildâs Christmas party, which featured a medieval Christmas banquet. The Editorial Board handled the publication of pamphlets containing orig- inal writings submitted by club members.

CLUB Among I tlje many extra-cur- ricular activities in Columbia, the Mathematics for the Army and Navy Club ranks as one of the most beneficial to all students, espe- cially those who plan to enter sonic specialized branch of our armed forces. As the constitution of the M.A.N. Club states, âThis club was organized to provide opportunity for students to gain information about and further their skills on various aspects of mathematics and to promote activities in all fields which contribute to the war effort.â The club was organized and functioned last year, and this year an even more elaborate program has been worked out. It has been divided into three groups: the Map Reading Section, the Navigation Section, and the Section on the use of Instruments. A pupil having taken secondary mathematics may optionally join any one of these sections. Not only arc there the group sessions, hut also there are mass meetings for the benefit of the club as a whole. Rage Ninety-three Seniors S.

The club fur- nishes activities that appeal to members through personal inter- est. Some members joined to construct, some to learn to identify, and others to become more skillful in identification of models of planes. Moving pictures, slides which members have made, flash cards, and out- side speakers familiar with the field help in attaining individual ob- jectives. The club was most enlightened by two movies of the WEFT system of identification. Most of the members are excellent spotters, and keen competition is maintained by quizzes. Team rivalry in these quizzes has been great. The club stands ready to aid the government if there should be another call for models of planes.

As usual, the club has proved an outlet not, only for those who have ability and wish to show it, but also for those who wish to listen to and appreciate line music. Following its former procedure, the club had games during its meetings, which, besides being fun, were planned to let every member show his own ability and put everyone on an equal competitive level, in this way helping some to have confidence in their own ability. Music appreciation by the use of records or of original works, has always been an important part of the clubâs activities, and this year the works of new and old composers have been listened to, discussed, and compared.

At the meetings the mem- bers not only hear Spanish spoken, hut they use their own knowledge of the language in conversations and talks, which, however, arc not entirely in Spanish, since some of the members are only beginning the course. The meetings, which are held once every month, arc both educational and entertaining. Meetings have consisted largely of plays in Spanish, and Spanish music, dancing, and games. The club has also had several speakers from Latin Ameri- can countries who have given the members a better understanding of the people of their respective nations. It is also a yearly custom to spend a day in New York, visiting the Spanish theatre and other places offering Latin-American interest.

Regular meetings have consisted of forum discussions on topics of cur- p: rent interest, led each time by some jS Secretary Edith Besser Treasurer Patsy Malone club member. Highlights of the year were a program of war movies sponsored by the club; the attendance of about fifteen members at an all day conference in January on Latin America at West Side High School, Newark, where one of our members conducted a discussion group; and in May, attendance at the annual conference at Montclair State Teachers College, where one of our members again led a discus- sion and another spoke on a broadcast of one of the discussions. The club also maintained two bulletin boards on current affairs, one in the library and another in room 340; and this year's club donated a two- year subscription of The Aation for the school library.

The club is divided into five main committees: the ar Service Committee, tlie Psychology Committee, the Social Committee, tlie Program Committee, and the Publicity Committee. The activi- ties of the club are planned by these five groups. Questionnaires are filled out by all members to de- termine what the individual is mainly interested in, and the groups arc arranged accordingly. This year there have been nine meetings altogether. Only junior and senior girls are eligible for membership in this club. This year, the total number of members was 112, but next year the club will be limited to 100 girls. Consideration in the meet- ings is given to those qualities which best fit one for school life now and for future careers. The club is an active, interesting organization, formed to develop and enliven the personalities of its members.

The sponsor and the officers of the club prepare varied programs for the group. Many former members of the Radio Club, or tin Kilocycle Club, as it was known originally, are now doing a great job as radio ______ __ operators for our armed forces or are serving in other capacities dealing with radio and aiding in our war effort. One of the responsibilities of tin! club is the maintenance and operation of the public address system through the school.

It is not only an all- sophoniorc club, but is one of the largest single groups in the school. Sincerity of interest in one or more of several dramatic fields is the basis for membership. Some of the different activities and groups of the club are make-up, radio, drama appreciation, scenery painting, stage setting, theatre parties, radio broadcasts, assembly and regular club plays. Many of the schoolâs most delightful assembly programs arc presented by this organization, which serves as a training ground and talent finder for dramatics in the junior and senior years. This yearâs presentations included three as- sembly plays, eight short meeting plays, either stage or radio, six theatre parties, four or five radio broadcasts, and some movies presented at group meetings. The members and sponsor hope to place 1943-44 among tlie banner years of tlie clubâs successful history. Page One Hundred One JEAN STAPLETON 92 Midland Boulevard. Maplewood Junior Nigh!

'4 COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL THE MIRROR 4 Activities VICTORY CORPS I lie High School ictory Corps was suggested by tlie Office of Education in Washington, D. C., as a means through which the pupils in all the high schools of the land may identify themselves with the war effort. Each school is completely free to work out its own program, and here at Columbia the Victory Corps is administered by a ictory Corps Committee composed of the Di- rector, the teacher sponsors of the five special divisions of the Victory Corps, and seven pupils. Sophomores can qualify for general membership only, but juniors and seniors may qualify for one of the five special service divisions, after they have first fulfilled the requirements for the general membership. The Victory Corps started here at Columbia with 343 charter members. The Victory Corps is now in its second year. Throughout its existence it has served as a reservoir of help to all community and school wartime emergency projects. Members have aided sub- stantially in two scrap drives in Maplewood and four in South Orange. The Community Service Division has supplied clerical help to various de- fense agencies in the two communities. The Corps has set up a central committee to co-ordinate all the wartime activities of the school. The Corps participated in the U. S. Treasury Schools at W ar Treasure Drive, February 14 to 18. in which one hundred incomplete stamp books were uncovered to help swell the total sum raised in the Fourth War Bond Drive. The Community Service Division sells War Savings Stamps regularly while tlie Sea Service Division sells bonds. The Production Service Division is sponsoring a weekly course in agriculture for those boys and girls who plan to do patriotic work on farms this spring and summer.

'4 COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL THE MIRROR 4 Sports FOOTBALL Displaying a spirit anti determination that overcame inexperience, Columbiaâs eleven finished its 1943 football season with a hard-fought score- less tie with the traditional turkey-day rival, West Orange. Following an exciting triumph over East Orange, this game concluded a season of two vic- tories, six defeats, and one tic. After suffering their first defeat at the hands of Kearny in twenty years, by a score of 20-6, the Cougars came back at full strength to trip Plain- field, 12-0. Paced by the speed and deception of two good hacks, Morristownâs strong team blasted the home forces, 30-6. A week later, a last-minute pass for a tally brought a disillusioned crowd surg- ing to its feet in the Orange tussle, but the unsuc- cessful extra point attempt gave the Cougars their third loss, 7-6. Following a 21-0 defeat at the hands of W est field. Columbia came back to battle a Mont- clair team, on a muddy, rain-soaked gridiron, and lost only through two long Mountie scoring thrusts in the second period. New Brunswick crushed the Cougars, 24-0. No individual star has emerged from the sea- son, but many potentially good players seem to In- lacking only experience and the improvement that conics with it. Only eight members of the squad will he lost by graduation. A few sparkling plays will be remembered from the season of â43; the brilliantly executed quarterback sneak against Plainfield, the last min- ute pass against Orange, and the two scores against East Orange, but what will really live is the spirit of an out-classed, out-played eleven, which fought through a discouraging season and came up to a magnificent conclusion. There is little to say, however, about wonder- ful plays, newspaper writeups, or colorful runs and passes. There can be no flaming adjectives injected in this article about crushing scores or brilliant blocking or excellent kicking. But there is a measure stick, one and one only, by which the team can he compared to former gridiron aggrega- tions. That measurement is spirit, and it can be ' safely recorded that the 1943 eleven lived up to that standard throughout its rough schedule. That is a tribute which no one can discolor or dispute; that tribute, alone, should shine forth from the thirty-six players who were the team of â43!

Ac- tivities start in the fall with the inter- class tennis tournament. Soccer follows close on its heels amid bumps, bruises, and cold weather (this year rain, too). Basketball, volleyball, swimming, and baseball, offering keen competition, complete the year's program. As the months go by, the Dance Club more and more has become an important part of G.A.A. Social activities started off with the Sophomore Party. The council with Joan Bottelli, president; Jane Kull, vice-president; Mary Carlaw, secretary; Cis W ilson, assistant secretary; Pat Allen, treasurer; and Lora Landers, assistant treasurer, gave a mock council meeting pro- viding great amusement. The sophomore managers were duly initiated into the Council. Re- freshments were served by the seniors. Sports G. A. A.
