Pupils might attend school each day, but what would they gain if there were no instructors? They might receive the broadening acquired through association with others, but the real, fundamental foundation of a liberal education would be lacking. As the kindergarten formulates in a child’s mind, the constructive rather than the destructive idea, so the high school transforms and arranges those ideas into definite and mature ideals, for life in the world of men and women, ideals upon which depend the future success of the student’s career. We, of the Dover High School, and especially of the Class of 1917, because of our long acquaintance with them, recognize the appreciation and thanks we owe to our faculty, for their ever faithful devotion to our class, and for the dedication of their lives and works to the furtherance of our welfare and success. And when we go from this world of joy into the vast world of care, we will feel much like the country boy, leaving the old farm for a life in the hum of the city. We will miss their careful advice and guidance when we are out on the great sea of Life, and know, that were it not for their careful preparation, we would be but hopeless derelicts. 10 iitatanj of tlir $ruinr (Class (JDfftrrrs PRESIDENT.................................GUSTAV P. HELLER VICE-PRESIDENT..............................DOROTHY DRUMMER SECRETARY.................................CHRISTINE EGBERT TREASURER.................................ROBERT B. JENKINS IT is a general known fact that every person or thing, no matter how small or insignificant it may be, has a history by which it is identified and judged. Such is it with us, we have passed four years of our lives in the Dover High School and in this time we have accomplished things, which perhaps, are deemed worthy enough by most of us to be jotted down here. However, we write not of past deeds of wonder, we have no boasts to make, we desire no great honors for anything we have done that might seem worthy of some credit; all our successes, our triumphs, trials and disappointments are deeply cherished by us all and we are humbly content in that fact. We do not hope, by any means, to obtain any greater amount of satisfaction, than we possess in the feeling that we have, with all our hearts, merely done our best. We did not systematically organize until our Junior year. Here we elected Gustav Heller, President; Dorothy Drummer, Vice-President; Marjorie Spargo, Secretary; and Joseph Stark, Treasurer. These officers served us well all through the year, helping the class in every way to hold parties and dances which eventually won the hearts of all the other classmen, the seniors included. It was in this year, at the suggestion of our faithful Dean, Miss Freeman, that we decided to save our money for some good cause that might arise after we had crossed the illustrious 11 threshold to Senior-dom. In this resolution we managed to save about forty dollars, which gave us a good foundation to work on in our Senior year. In our Senior year, we were seized with lofty impulses, uncommon to most classes in the preceding years. One was that we issue a year book, this impulse developed into a desire and that desire into a determination, till at last after many trials and tribulations we have put it forth. This book we are justly proud of, as it is the only book of its kind ever attempted in Dover High, so if we speak of it with a feeling greater than becomes us, we hope it will be overlooked in view of the fact that we worked so hard to produce it. The Debating Tearn for this year is composed of Seniors, being two boys and one girl, and the class considers itself fortunate to have these people in its midst. Besides this donation of a Debating Tearn to the school, we have also endeavored to help out in other school activities; if the school paper benefited by our assistance we are glad; if the magnanimous school spirit which now exists can in any way be associated with us, we will be happy to know it; if in athletics we have helped to bring distinction to Dover, we will rejoice in it, and if in any way we have been helpful to the school in general, we are only too glad to know it; and the fact that we have done it will be our desired reward. Our class has had one sincere friend throughout all its Senior year. Out of many difficulties our Dean, Miss Clark, has helped us, she has ever been our immediate counsellor and guide in all our dark moods and trying hours, giving her time and attention to us with never failing willingness, and in general doing things for us which we can never forget. The officers with whom we graduate are: President, Gustave Heller; Vice-President, Dorothy Drummer; Secretary, Christina Egbert, and Treasurer, Robert B. Jenkins. These officers have, too, done their best for the class, toward making it an enterprising organization. In closing this history, we only wish to state that the experiences which we have had will never be forgotten, our teachers we will honor, and our friendships we will never forget; and we advise the lower classmen coming up in the various years, to always be sincere in their work, to always yield to the wiser power and to ever and constantly stand by the school, which they will learn to love, the dear old Dover High. A. SENYOR. 12 JULIA BURNS “Jule” “ have often regretted mjj speech, never my silence. WE wish to begin a most remarkable account of our classmates with our singer Julia; Julia is first on our roll call, so necessarily is the first victim of all the assaults made upon the class. One of the most pleasing things about Julia is that she can sing well, she took us off our feet one day, in the auditorium, when she sang one of her songs remarkably well. Whether or not her ambitions tend in this direction, however, we cannot say, but if she doesn't take it up, we expect that some day we will find her in some glorious school, ruling her children with a rod of iron. Then, again, on the other hand, she may become married to some promising young man and become the mistress of millions, who knows ? Before closing the beginning of our tremendous account, let us add that Julia was always well liked by us all, and we hope that if she does get married, she will treat her hubby as nicely as she has us. WILLIAM HAROLD CHESHIRE “Ches” The curled darling of the Nation. If barbers were to depend on Harold's patronage they would go bankrupt. He’s the envy of all the girls and they all want the prescription for curling their hair naturally. Harold is quite a scholar and they claim, a regular Vernon Castle on the floor. He never misses a dance and you might as well call it off if his presence does not grace the occasion. He always is in style by wearing -a smile. Harold is planning to take up electricity, when he leaves our pleasant realms, and if he does, we all wish him the best of all good luck and hope that in the years to come he will not be last on Life’s highway to success. PENROSE CHRISTMAN “Pennie” Ah, lvh ) should life all labour be? Turn your head a little to the southwest and cast your eyes, for a moment, upon the shining countenance of one Penrose Christman, Professor of Trigonometry, and scholar of Chemistry. Penrose is one of our rural friends, but spends most of his time in Dover, although we have heard lately that he travels to Wharton sometimes for diversion. One of “Pennie’s pet hobbies is giggling. Whenever he has nothing else to do, he can always find relief in a suppressed giggle, although this girlish trait sometimes annoys the teachers considerably. In playing basketball, however, he refrains from this, and always puts up a good game because of his lightning speed on the court. He is the first substitute for the Varsity basketball team. Although he studies hard in Trigonometry, we thing it will do him no harm, for we may some day find those two little initials (C. E.) behind his name, (not cabbage-eared), but Civil Engineer. 13 GEORGE COLVIN “George” “ meddle with no man's business but mj) on n.” How many of you would have defied everything to finish school? Such a fellow is George Colvin. George came into High School with us four years ago and finishes with us this June. If ever you want a good conscientious worker don’t forget George. He has studied hard and has earned all of those good marks you will find upon his report-card. Yes, and he remembers a great deal more than most of us do. loo. George played on the football field with great distinction. He was always present at school dances, ever finding some way to help out. In fact, he will work at most anything that is for the good of his class. His class spirit never falters; he plugs away at one thing as hard as he does at another. George has always won respect from all his class and we feel perfectly sure that if he keeps up the good work he will win just as much respect when he docs out into the world. RONALD CRATER “Ronnie” “All's Well that ends well.” You have all heard of Ronnie, so he needs no introduction, but as you do not know him as well as we do, perhaps it is necessary for us to try to inform you a little more regarding his most intimate characteristics. To start with, we gladly say that Ronnie is a first-class fellow, always coming in for his share of the treats. However, despite this good trait there is one thing that some in the class do not like, and that is, Ronnie talks too much with the girls. If some fellow is talking with his best girl, Ronnie will come along and rob this fellow of his prize; but it is not because he likes to be mean, but it is simply because he likes the girls so much . Ronnie promises to become a great man, and if he ever gets to be President we all sincerely believe he will give each member of the Senior Class a job for life. WILLIAM CRAWFORD “Bud” ''Brevity is the soul of wit.” No, gentle reader, this is not Hercules staring at you from the picture. It is also not a descendant of the prehistoric race of giants, but merely diminutive Willie; William Crawford, if you wish to know it all. He is next to Crater the baby of the class; not in age, understanding or intellect, but only in size, which, after all, is no reflection upon either him or his family, or his class. In fact, his class is justly proud of little William, both for his ability to master the preplexing and intricate mazes of school work, and for his gloom-dispelling humor. He is often witty enough to provoke the teachers into laughter. One singular thing about him is that he never has trouble with the Trig problems he does not attempt. This is quite logical, to be sure, but since we have never seen him have trouble with the things he does attempt, we know that he will continue his life in the same way, and always be a credit to our class and to the school. 14 JOSEPH DICK “Joe “Men of few words are the best men. Many a time and oft have we gone to any athletic game to hear the Cheer Gang yell at short intervals, “Ya Dick! ya Dick! ya Dick! In fact, we heard it so often that we began to investigate to see who this Dick was. We found him to be our own classmate, our own little Joe that sat so meekly and humbly in his seat. It amazed us to think that a boy so quiet would have so much noise made about him, but when we finally came to know what a really good athlete he was that wonderment banished. Joe is the all-around athlete of the school, having won a good many games in every line for us. He was captain of the football in 1916 and manager of the baseball team in 1917. So you perceive, dear reader, that Joe was no mean dependent, but rather he is a fellow that has marked his high school career with athletic successes. DOROTHY DRUMMER Dot “Thou smilesl and art still out-topping knowledge. And now, if you peep into the next alcove, you will see Dorothy Drummer, studying her Chemistry lesson perhaps. Dot is the brightest star in the firmament of the Class of 17, at leas! in scholarship. We can predict nothing less for her than the honor of valedictorian. There is but one thing that dims her brilliance, and that is her modesty. To speak with her. one would not think she was exceptionally bright, but when she recites the truth comes out from her hiding place, and asserts itself without any further aid. We do not know anything about her habits, but we do know that her favorite exercise is dancing. She does not take part in athletics, but is always a faithful rooter. (We must have an audience, you know.) Her chief pastimes are pinochle and jacks, two fitting exhibitions of her intellect. But even though she may never secure a position as basketball coach, she may, in some future year, be seen, (if she is not married in the meantime), teaching little children that two and two are six. JOHN EDGE Edgie “Then he will talk—, good gods! how he will talk! Occupying the next cape is the biggest animal by the name of Edge, in the captivity of the Senior Class. It is true that John is not as fat as he used to be, for all we have to do is Turn back the universe” a few years and see him in short trousers, supported by a pair of piano legs. Somehow or other, either through worry or a disappointed love affair, he has lost weight, but we think, and he knows that he is much better since. He is now engaged, during his leisure hours, in more reducing experiments, the Dover Guards being the “reducing agent, and we expect him to be a perfect thirty-six” by next September. John has a delightful propensity for being the leader, (delightful for him, but humiliating, to say the least, for others.) It is this, however, that has made a number of our affairs successful, and we advise John to continue being “boss,” as long as he can get away with it. 15 CHRISTINE EGBERT “Christine” “Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. Christine is a good example of the above motto, whatever she does she does well, so even if she doesn’t do much, you see she is on the safe side. Perhaps this is due to the tact that she believes in Safety First.” The reason we know she believes in “safety first is because she always brings from eight to ten pencils to class meetings every time she knowns John Edge is going to speak in older to write down all the motions and emotions that he puts forth. She never bothers much with the boys; perhaps it is because she doesn’t have time, yet again perhaps it is because she doesn’t like them. In either case, she has the benefit of the doubt, so what can we poor Senior mortals do except to vainly guess at it? She took up the business course upon entering high school, and we suppose that she contemplates becoming a stenographer upon leaving school or marrying some rich old broker. If she does we hope she puts the poison in his tea instead of his coffee. PEARL ERICSON “Pearl” “ onl ) speal( right on. How well the above quotation applies to Pearl—how true and realistic it sounds—it fairly makes us gasp with its cold significance. In fact, to such a great extent that we wish it were true. No, kind reader, do not let us delude you. Pearl is not such a great talker as we make her out to be; to the contrary, she is as quiet as the stars that twinkle with majestic brilliance in the besprinkled heavens of a most eloquent night. Pearl has many friends, perhaps because she says so little. It seems to most of us that we would have more friends, too, if we could only keep our mouths shut. Well, Pearl, brave the errors of this vast world the best you can, and if you continue to be as silent and good as you are now, your chickens will come home to roost safely indeed. LUCY GIBBONS “Lucy” ”7 al(e notes on the spot, a note is worth a cartload of recollections. We may now behold the celebrated Miss Lucy. Gazing once more upon the noble features of one so highly revered we find embodied a happy union of mirth, dignity, seriousness and independence. A little description may be necessary. In height she is not many miles away from six feet. As to weight,—well, 200 more or less—most probably more. The memory of Lucy will perhaps linger long in the minds of those whom she so gladly helped out of difficulties. Especially should she be remembered by a certain person in the “Trig” class. For what would have become of him if she had not been nigh to assist him out of his deep and difficult mental struggles? Another hopeless year at Trig” would perhaps have been the result. 16 BRUNSON GILBERT” “Brunce” A willing helper never wails until he is asl(ed.” Seeing Brunson Gilbert pacing along Sussex Street on his way to school brings one back to the recollection of Julius Caesar striding along the profile of a hill on a gusty day. He is a very agreeable companion, and surely a performer of the rock-aged proverb, “A friend in need is a friend indeed. Yet, this narrative has not yet spoken of his school spirit. Brunce has been a participant in all of the activities of this year’s graduating class, and has even laid aside his school work to tramp the streets in search of ads, helping in general, the Business Manager to wear out shoe-leather and choke ads out of the merchants in Dover. MARK GOLDSTEIN “Mark” “Enflamed with the study of learning.” The gong sounds, the curtain rises and we behold before us the Honorable Mark Goldstein. Mark is a studious character, always trying to get eight subjects in seven periods, more or less. This trait of character perhaps is due to the wavy attitude of his hair; of course he can't help this but it is a good means of winning many smiles from the lassies. We must glance into Mark’s German studies. Mark always knows a lot about this intensely interesting subject; he even knows what the Professor is going to say before he has a chance to think of it. If the rest of us wore glasses maybe we would be a little more far-sighted, too. But Mark is good natured; he takes victory and defeat with a smile, and never has a grouchy look. A few years from now we can picture Mark’s curly locks and ever grasping mind in the depths of Latin, Greek, Spanish, etc. Perhaps he will become an athlete. Who knows ? EUNICE GOLDSWORTHY “Eunice” “Silence is sweeter than speech.” Behold! And the Senior Class said, Let there be a business woman, and there was one. And here she is, too, with the same irresistible smile that gained all our advertisements, and made this book a financial success. All she had to do was: don her holiday attire, enter someone’s office, mention to him that she was soliciting ads,’ and before she could tell him anything further, he would ask how much she wanted. She was so irresistible that the business men wished to take her away from us. They did not succeed, however, because they could not offer the same salary that our financial status (?) made it possible for us to give. So, when we begin to thank the editors of this book for the help they gave, its financial success will be accredited to her. She went right into the lairs of the business men, and if she were to proclaim her own achievements, like Julius Caesar, she could say, “I came, I saw, I conquered. 17 GUSTAV P. HELLER Gus” When I ope my lips, let no dog bar If. Gus has been the instrument that has written many of these harsh and cruel character sketches and we do not think it more than fair to give him a taste of his own medicine. However, we are going to be broad minded and let him off easy; in fact, we must admit, altho we hate to do it, that we can not find anything about Gus that is really worth knocking. Gus is on the debating team and he has shown here that he has a great ability toward that line, especially when it comes to talking of “brotherly love.” Some of his brotherly love is most clearly brought out in some of the character sketches. On the level, however, we want to keep good our words: we find Gus to be a fine fellow, holding with good judgment the office of President of our class and winning much respect from it and admiration from the school in general. MABEL HILL “Smiler” Laugh, and the world laughs with you. This member of our class hails from Wharton, a city of brotherly love and one church. If you would like to call, and upon asking her where she lives, she should reply, “Next to the church,” do not ever be so ignorant as to say, “Which church?” Despite her pious surroundings and solemn environment, she is very merry and gay, and whenever you turn your glance in her direction, you may behold her con- vulsed with laughter. When asked why she does not attend the school dances, she invariably replies that she is too stupid to learn how to dance. We wonder if this is the real reason, or whether she just has a natural avidity for boys. No; it is surely not this. We think sometimes that her father must own stock in the Traction Company, for she entices boys to throw nickels away like stones. We haven’t noticed any other serious failings about this maid from Wharton, but whatever they may be, they are counter-balanced by the happy smile which is constantly on her face. FREDERICK HONEYCHURCH “Honey” Speech is silver, silence is golden. Cheer up, you Doverites. Frederick is a native dweller of Wharton and he has only honored us with his presence by one memorable year. “Honey” was one of the foremost debaters in the great debates recently held in Dover High School. Here, he pitted his great knowledge against his opponents and here, he swelled the auditorium with his majestic words and insurpassable eloquence that held the audience spellbound with admiration. We only regret that Fred did not try for the football team, because with his powerful form and fleet legs the Dover team would have been made unconquerable. When June comes it will find Fred physically and mentally fit to cope with all the hardships of the world and triumph over them. 18 ROBERT B. JENKINS Bob.” Senator” Srvans sing before they die, 'truere no bad thing Did certain persons die before they sing.” Hail, noble Jenkins, Editor-in-Chief of this Eternal Edifice, and sole survivor of the Johnsonian style of literature. Hail to thy countless offices, recorded in this book. To be sure, Robert Jenkins has many offices, even if they do not impose duties upon him. He is very conscientious. Before accepting any office, he carefully weighs the opportunities for receiving graft, only taking those by which he will receive the most. In Chemistry, he is very brilliant; having discovered a method bleaching cherries to a red color. He is also a great admirer of the United States, the government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” But with all his faults and ambitions, he was very industrious about publishing this book, and we prophesy that he will some day become a great publisher, provided he does not write the matter for the books himself. EDITH JOHNSON “Jack” “O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength.” The next character in our rogue’s gallery is Edith Johnson, called Jack because of her strength and pugilistic tendencies. Her address is R. F. D. No. 2 (We don’t know where this is, but imagine it is in the country somewhere.) Edith walks to school every morning, and always enters with a flush of brightness on her cheek. This daily exercise probably accounts for her great strength. Jack, for in athletics she was never Edith, was a star on the girl’s basket-ball team for two years, even while laboring under the responsibilities of Manager. As to her favorite color and flower, we cannot say. and we have not noticed that she has ever been afflicted with that disease of the heart, lovesickness. On the whole, for we hope no one will pick her to pieces, Edith is a fine fellow, (No, I mean girl) and we feel sure that she will go out into the world, and sweep everything before her (especially mere man). DAVID KRAFT Crafty David” Study to be quiet. Quite a number of years ago (surely not more than five or six) there dropped into the comparatively quiet town of Dover one who was brought up in the famous “City of Churches. He seemed to bring with him the mannerisms and traits of a Brooklynite, besides a great velocity of speech, which, with constant care during four years of kind training under the head of the English department, has somewhat abated. To tell the truth, our dear friend Mr. Kraft takes it all as a joke when we arc entertained by his loquaciousness. ’ But for all that he is a good sport, especially when the basket-ball season approaches; he being on the job with his shrill whistle. 19 ESTHER LEWKOWITZ “Esther” She that is slow to anger is better than the mighty. We may now gaze upon the fair countenance of Esther Lewko-witz. Another with an equally sweet disposition would be hard to imagine. If anyone ever beheld Esther angry the fact would be jotted down as a memorandum in history. But we must turn toward her capabilities. As a stenographer—-well, she can make the typewriter hum; only she always puts one “p” in the words that should have two “p’s . She says there is only one “p” on the typewriter. We may wonder why Esther receives great rewards on her report card, but a glance into her study-hour at night would certainly make us rest assured. Such deep thought and concentration cannot but bring good results. A very good example. Esther. In after years, we may see Esther as an agent for soap wrappers, or sewing machine needles. Then, again, she might use the knowledge she obtained in Dover High School as a means of being a private secretary to a great railroad or mining president. Nevertheless, we all wish good luck and fortune to our Esther. MARGARET LYNCH “Margaret Man delights not me. Alas! we now have Margaret Lynch! Four years ago she entered, a shy and studious individual. But now there is no traits whatever to identify the past Margaret with the one here presented. She is an Irish lassie, well known for her sly glances and cunning smiles. Talking, laughing and fooling seem to be her favorite pastimes during school hours. She delights in causing confusion just as robust Seniors delight in teasing dainty and delicate Freshmen. Margaret nearly met the end of her existence in High School when she met with an accident in one of her studies, but fortunately, by much hard labor and patience, she helped to prove the old adage, “Where there s a will there’s a way,” and is among our class of '1 7. We have predicted farming, scientific and otherwise, for Margaret s future career. The only reason is because of her unmistakably sweet and pleasant temper which will prove an excellent advantage in handling seemingly impossible farm tools. LYDIA MALDEIS “Idjit” O woman! in our hours of ease uncertain, coy and hard to please. Westward Ho! No, she did not come from California; she came from a girls’ school, Baltimore, where the only male to be seen was the principal. Was it any wonder that she gazed, awestricken at the boys? But a few basket-ball games and a number of dances soon banished all her fears. And that isn’t all. She is one of the best artists that Dover High has ever had for centuries to come. She can paint bedsteads, chicken coops, sofa pillows and barns. (And the teachers when their backs are turned.) You will find many of her renowned works hanging in Carnegie’s library. She also drew cartoons for The Clarion, which everyone liked “right well.” She is particularly good in English, History, Chemistry, German, dancing, catching ball, roller skating, moving pictures and tennis. She is very fond of nature and dogs. With all these accomplishments we surely wish her success and good luck. 20 MAX MEISNER Count Beauty is onl ) sl(in deep. Max Meisner entered Dover High unheralded four years ago. He wasn’t sent for, but he came anyway, and we had to accept him as a member of our rapidly-progressing class. Nevertheless we have found him useful many times in accepting offices, doing odd tasks and acting as a general merry-maker in times of sad distress. Max never seemed to take the old maxim. Children should be seen but not heard,” as applying to himself and therefore exposed his real loquacious characteristics. The ambitions of Max were always found to be very lofty, although his thinking powers weren't very high on account of his stature. We mean the situation of his brains, of course. It was very alarming to most of the sedate Seniors when Max proclaimed that he-not liked, but just adored periods. The real reason upon analysis was found to be that the short name for periods was “Dots. Ah! well. Max, don’t let us Kid” you. CLARENCE MULLER “Clarence “Eloquence is the child of knoivledge.’’ What body would not be proud and honored to have as one of its members a young man of sterling character and determined ambition; Clarence is gifted with the power of expressing himself in a most clear and intelligent manner. Although usually quiet and reserved he is a companion and intimate acquaintance of all his classmates. He usually keeps aloof from gaiety and seldom indulges in long conversation. 1 his may account for the intense interest and concentration which he puts on his work. The thoughts of his poetry are lovable and pleasing indeed; they touch the heart itself with their purity and simplicity. Such a one. my dear reader, it is a great pleasure to introduce as Clarence Muller. INEZ NORMAN Inez” The n aj to succeed is not to fail.” Now let us cast our eyes upon the girl, who, at first was so quiet that it was, for a long time, impossible to hear the sound of her voice. But, however, she gained strength; became accustomed to the school and now can be heard very easily indeed. This is Inez Norman, who, with her friend Ellen, enjoys the ride to school each morning. Most of Inez’s time is spent in studying. She always gives the impression of being a studious girl and if she does not have a book in her hand she is sitting in a corner of the room composing poetry. Her only enjoyment seems to be in her books. She constantly studies Chemistry and History. Like her other companions she is sure to smile at her History mark. Although Inez does not partake in the common enjoyments of the day, she is always as happy as anyone could be. 21 ETHAN ALLEN PALMER Eat” You may have known I am no worthy man. Is it not delightful to have with us a member of the town’s helpful and noteworthy body, the Boy Scouts? Yes, the one referred to has had the honorable and well earned appellation “Scout Master conferred upon him. It is a pleasure to make known to those of our readers unacquainted with him; Master Ethan Palmer. The casual observer, looking into his bright smiling eyes, would but little think that he ever gave vent to anger or quick temper. But such is the case, especially when involved in disputes of this sort and those with his comrades. What a change of temperament comes over one at times. Yes, and how surprised might you be at seeing him in the other extreme. Why, in his moments of frivolity he is as gentle as a kitten, as playful as a skipping calf, especially with the gentler sex. But on the outside, when attired in uniform, he has the bearing and look of a soldier. EDWARD PETERSON Swede” Better late than never. Pete is here, the last bell just rang. Pete is some athlete. He is quarterback on the eleven and a star on the nine. He is also a member of the Glee Club and vies with Kreisler with the bow. Studies and Pete are not relatives but mere distant friends. We vote him a fairly good fellow and expect him to build a few big buildings and bridges some day after he completes his high school work. RUTH SHEPPS Ruth Matters will go swimmingly.” Turn your eyes from the perusal of the more uninteresting things in this book (if there are any) and read this history of the star, female athlete of Dover High School, the second Annette Kellerman, Christopher Mathewson, and Jess Willard, combined. Read this account of apparently unachievable, aquatic accomplishments, and then, having been forewarned, we leave you to your fate, should you ever challenge her to a swimming contest. But swimming is not her only athletic accomplishment. She is a pitcher (baseball, not water) and if she were a boy, we could foretell a triumphant season for the school. Most athletic people are never extraordinarily brilliant in scholarship. Not so in this case, however. Ruth is never absent from school, and when asked to recite, scarcely ever refuses. Moreover, she is very good in her commercial studies, especially stenography and typewriting, and although we can not predict a professional baseball career for her, she may get near enough, by being a private secretary to John Mc-Graw, or some like personage. 22 MARJORIE SPARGO “Marjorie” A light heart lives long.” Among the members of our class we have Marjorie Spargo renowned for face, fame and fortune. A sweet dimpled face is her possession; also two blue eyes which seem to smile continually. We have always noticed that all treasurers seem happy, now we known why Marjorie smiles,—she is treasurer of the Music Club. She makes a good one, too. But, sorry to say, Marjorie will be arrested for speeding some day. Not in any vehicle, but with her tongue, for the rate she keeps it humming is alarming. We should not wonder if some day it needed repairing or replacing like so much worn out machinery. Marjorie says that she intends to become a “Schul-lehrerin.” Can’t we imagine her enforcing discipline upon a pack of ill-mannered youngsters? She'll get through all right because any one whose favorite subjects are Science and German generally does. HAZEL STANLICK “Hazel” Be gone dull care, prithee begone from me.” We have with us a girl who comes all the way from a quaint farm of Berkshire Valley. At the entrance of Hazel our eyes fall upon a strong, robust girl. She is always hungry; this together with her great size shows that she is subject to good physical exercise. This exercise is mainly horse-back riding and hunting. By her appearance she is often judged as being a quiet and innocent girl. But appearances often deceive. Hazel’s greatest delight is doing mischief. This is easily found out by sitting near her for a few minutes. Nevertheless, she does not fail when called upon in History class. Her memory is very fine and she recites without a groan. After Hazel has left the room, everything is quiet again and we wait with expectancy for her return. She is a most learned scholar and we are all promising to send our children to her as future pupils. JOSEPH OWEN STARK “Joe.” Stark.” “Gunboat” “A baby's feet.” We must now rack our brains for some history about our little Joe.” Going into details we could fill a book, but Joe wouldn’t like that. Quite an insignificant thing was Joe four years ago. but now he has attained fame and honor. We dare not say along what lines but certainly not in mathematics. We have noticed for some time past that there is one thing that Joe really delights in doing, and that is, in talking to girls. Almost any time of day we may cast our eyes Joe-ward and find him, perfectly contented, chatting away the precious hours. We must not forget to give the honor due to Joe for the part he has taken in our athletics. As a football player Joe always fought for his school with the best of spirit; and as a basket-ball player, we can look real long before we find so good a player, a sport and all around square fellow as Joe has been. Joe has many friends and always will have as long as he holds on to his winning ways, many a grouch has been transformed by Joe’s smile. Keep up the good work, Joe.—Adieu. 23 MARION STEVENS “Marion” “Cive thy thoughts no tongue.” It was during our Junior year that we received Marion into our midst and glad enough we were to get her, as we need all the girls we could get who are noisy and yet at the same time very jolly and lively. Of course we do not mean to impress upon your minds that Marion is perfect, in fact she has faults just the same as the rest of us, only she manages to keep them hidden better—well if she can “get away with it we are perfectly satisfied and we feel bound “to hand it to her” for doing so. Marion, on the whole, is a very nice girl and whether she gets married or whether she pursues the business world, we all wish her the best of luck, hoping she meets with good success in whatever line she takes up. ELLEN TIERNEY “Ellen Retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books.” Ellen Tierney is now brought before us. We behold a short and pleasant looking girl. Of course we do not wonder why Ellen is so sleepy each day. She arises at six in the morning and drives about seven miles before she reaches a car to take her to school. But do not be misled, this is not the only reason for Ellen’s being tired. Who would not feel like sleeping after dancing all night until early morning. Dancing is Ellen’s famous delight. Besides dancing Ellen enjoys horseback riding, playing tricks on her friends while driving home, and above all, flying through the streets in a Ford. But she is not behind in her German and History lessons. Her memory is fine and she recites her book word for word, and line by line. HAZEL TREGENZA “Hazel” I'll speak in a monstrous little voice.” “Aha. said the sleuth, as he discovered our class-mate hiding behind her desk, “Bring in the handcuffs, Watson; here is an alien.” And, truly she is an alien, coming from the foreign city of Wharton. Hazel is very bashful; so much so that she is sometimes afraid to recite when called upon. Of course we don’t attribute this to any ignorance about the question asked, but only to her extreme bash fulness. If, perchance, she should stir up enough courage to rise, her fright still possesses her, and the shrill notes that come from her mouth, can scarcely be heard three feet away. To be sure, this delicacy of speech is not natural, it is merely the effect of fright on her vocal chords. And so you see that Hazel is not naturally unintelligent, it is just the effect of her bashfulness; she has not really, a weak voice, it is only the consequence of her fear when reciting. What we want to know is this: “Whose face makes Hazel frightened.” 24 RUSSELL VAN HORN ‘ Russ “Time ripens all things; no man is born wise.' Scene—Schoolroom. Time—8.59 any morning. Characters—Russ, Pupils, Miss Clark. First Act—Cloakroom Scene. Breathing hard, Russ rushes in, takes off coat, hangs it up and makes a dive for the door, evading the eyes of the teacher as much as possible, and races down the aisle, knocking the people all around. Second Act—Schoolroom Scene. Russ reaches seat, sits down hard in it, shaking the room, grins at the rest of the pupils, who gaze upon him with silent admiration for his courage; Miss Clark looks out over her glasses, first at Russ then at the clock. All has seemingly passed over all right. Third Act—Same as Second Act. All in room, very quiett, Russ looks anxiously at clock as if it displeased him. Suddenly from the distance comes the sound of a bell—one, two, three, four, and then all is silent. But, relieved of the suspense, Russ heaves a big sigh simultaneously with Miss Clark, and the pupils smile, once more, in admiration for Russ’s daring. Such is Russ’s life. FRANCES VREELAND “Frances” “Silent as the picture on the wall. We are going to hold you in suspense about Fiances, we are not going to tell you all her secret characteristics; despite this fact, however, there is one thing we do want to say to you, besides just remarking, that, she has always been a very agreeable girl, never failing in her studies, never bothering with the boys, always chatting with the girls, never talking in class meetings, always singing in chapel, to help out the rest of the noise, never doing anything that was not permissable, always helping others, never drawing pictures of the teacher on the back of her pad; that thing we wish to tell you about is that she is very, very,—now don’t get excited, for we are only going to say that she is quite quiet. HATTIE WOLF “Hattie” “The tree of silence bears the fruit of knowledge. Hattie is one of the new members of our ranks. She is a member of the Debating Team and as a debator she is in a class by herself. Her beauty is equal to her scholarly attainments and a bright future is predicted for her. We are already comparing her with Arthur Brisbane. Hattie’s self control when on the rostrum wins many looks of admiration for her, from the more bashful girls in the class, this self control is set off by very clear accents in her pronunciation, which both together make her a very interesting and commanding person to listen to. 25 Umtrr iijiyh rhool Athlrtir Aaaiuiatum OFFICERS: President—ROBERT B. JENKINS Secretary—BEATRICE SINGER Treasurer—MRS. A. L. CUMMINS FACULTY ADVISORS: 26 MR. EDWARD WILDER MRS. A. L. CUMMINS Jmit lull “There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.”—Montaigne. THE Dover High School Football season of 1916 opened as proverbial March; like a lion, but after such a prepossessing beginning, a team subsided into the rut of defeat, and assumed much the same propensities as the departing lamb. With a list of candidates numbering about twenty-five, the prospects seemed rosy, but with only three veterans to build a team around, and all the remaining candidates inexperienced, many to the extent of never having held a football, the rosy prospects faded into a drab gray, and the value of the 1916 Football Season can only be estimated by the constructive work it accomplished. It can only be determined by the records of future teams. Do not take the impression, however, that the Dover team did not fight, for even though it was defeated in every game but the first, the largest number of points scored against it was twenty and the total number of points only seventy-six. Then, too, it must be remembered, that for a long time the team was without coaching, that injuries beset it from all sides, and that it was seldom that the Dover team went on the field with every man in his regular position. After our first game, with Roxbury High School, we suddenly arranged for a game with Ridgewood, a much superior team, and one which was placed very high in the 1915 ranking. With hardy determination, we met them, and were it not for two blocked kicks, which afterward led to touch-downs, we would have held them scoreless, and probably would have scored ourselves. Here may be observed the fault which dogged our footsteps throughout the season, the inability to kick accurately and quickly. In this game, the team received its first handicap in the injury of Captain Joe Dick, fullback, who, while he continued playing, was never in the best of form. From that game until the end of the season we encountered a train of defeats, all by small scores, but yet, scores large enough to carry off the honor of the game. During this procession of defeats, the team met with more injuries, the most serious being to Heller, manager and halfback. A sprained ankle and injured hip kept him entirely out of one important game, and held him to a minor position on the line in several others. Cartage, the other halfback, was out of three games with an injured wrist, and at one time the entire backfield, except the quarterback, was on the injured list. At about the middle of the season, we were able to secure for about a half hour each day, the services of Mr. Jadowitz, Mr. Hammond, and Mr. Thornton, and the school owes thanks to these men for the excellent instruction and coaching they gave. On the whole we can say that when the season of 1916 closed, a football team of Dover High School had 27 passed into oblivion with a record of one victory and five defeats, and yet a team with wonderful spirit had passed a disastrous season, an inexperienced team, suffering from injuries, had bitten the dust. But as Walt Whitman said to a foiled European revolutionist, “When it cannot be helped, defeat is great.” And now, as the chronicler of the 1916 Dover High School Football Team, I can say, in conclusion, with the poet, William WetmoreStory: “I sing the hymn of the conquered, who fell in the battle of life,— The hymn of the wounded, the beaten, who died overwhelmed in the strife . . . The hymn of the low and the humble, the weary, the broken in heart, Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a silent and desperate part.” TEAM Joseph Dick, Captain Ends—Charles Burchell Claude Hoagland Tackles—George Colvin Theodore Johnson Guards—Russell King Earl Singer Gustav Heller, Manager.

The majority of the seasons have been successful ones indeed for Dover, and the season of 1916-1917 does not rank very far behind them. It opened wth but two veterans, available for the team, Joe Stark and Joe Dick. However, the first call for candidates brought out about twenty recruits, each eager to boost the team on to victory. These fellows proceeded immediately to work, electing for their leaders, Joe Stark, Captain, and Wm. Auer, Manager. After several weeks of hard practice, the team was chosen by the captain: Manager Auer, right forward; Hoagland, left forward; A. Leonard, right guard; Joe Dick, left guard; and Stark, center. The substitutes were Bur-chell, Tonking and Christman. The first game of the season was played at home against the fast Dover Cub team, in which the High School team was beaten, but only by three points, the score being 27-24. The next game followed within a week with the Alumni, consisting of several college basketball players and in this game the High School was outplayed by the score of 26-20. The first high school game was that with Boonton High, in w-hich we were again defeated by score of 21-15. The next two games were easy victories for Dover, beating the German Big Five and Hackettstown High. Here we resumed the reputation of years previous by winning five games straight, in this triumph we got revenge on the Cubs, and also on Madison, who defeated us earlier in the season, the others were Hackettstown, Newton Academy and Rock-away, whipping Rockaway very badly by the score of 53—18. In summing up Dover’s losses and gains, we find that the High School won eight games and lost six, winning five high school games and losing four. The points scored by Dover amount to 415, while their opponents’ reach tthe grand total of only 254, so even if Dover did not win all her games she has at least acquited herself well and we are all proud of her basketball record. The team loses but two players by graduation; Capt. Stark and Joe Dick. Bringing this history of our season to a close we wish the teams in this sport which will follow us just as good and even better luck, and we urge them to keep up the wonderful record of years gone by. 29 GIRLS Not to be outdone by the boys in any way, the girls of D. H. S. also organized a basketball team, under the leadership of Beatrice Singer and Edith Johnson. Miss Singer was Captain and Miss Johnson acted as Manager, and although they did not win any great renown for themselves and their team, nevertheless they can be satisfied in the fact that they “broke even.” The team was composed of Marie Jorden, center; Helen Richards, right forward; Linnie Edge, left forward; Captain Beatrice Singer, right guard; Juliet Schoenbrum, left guard. The subs were Manager Edith Johnson and Marjorie Roats. The girls met their first opponents, Rockaway, on the home court, but were beaten by the score of 6—4. The next game was played at Newton, where they had better luck, coming home with a victorious score of 8—5. At the next game the fates were again against them, Newton High School getting revenge on them, by the score of 7—I. However, undaunted by the two failures, the girls journeyed to Boonton and there whipped the Boonton High School girls by the score of 16—9. This, the last game of the season, made Dover’s record practically no record at all, as they had won two and lost two. As the mathematics teachers would say, “Canceling and we have nothing left. But do not get the impression that the girls had “nothing left.” They had had their fill of fun and exercise, till you can not find one who isn’t glad she played, nor one who wouldn’t advise any other girl in the future to take basketball up. laBpbaU BASEBALL, that almighty sport which dominates the play-world so majestically, now calls our attention. Throughout all the history of the High School it has held a preeminent place in school activities, a place greatly loved by its participants and sincerely enjoyed by its followers. We have no doubt but that there are many alumni heroes who look back with great pleasure and longing to the days when they scampered and shouted upon the diamond, happy to have escaped for the time being their bothersome studies. These fellows we will always be proud of, and we take this means of thanking them, one and all for their services. The interscholastic spirit in which it has been carried out speaks for itself, they have taken victory and defeat with as much good will as is humanly possible. Numerous cheer-gangs have been organized to support it, and although at times they seemed to be wanting for members and volume, yet on the whole they were good and supported the team well. As we now write of this year’s team we can only prophesy. In glancing over the material which we have to work from, the prospects look quite favorable, and with the magnificent spirit which now exists in the school in general, we hope to establish a record to be proud of. Two veteran men are guiding the team this year, Harold Shorter as Captain and Joseph Dick as Manager, being elected by the players left from last year’s team. The pitching staff of our teams has not as yet been decided upon, but much hope rests upon Dick, our manager. Dick is our all-round athlete and we expect to get much from him. Other players from last year’s team from whom we hope to get much are Captain Shorter, L. Dick, Lenard and Peterson, these fellows having acquitted themselves well. The schedule the manager has picked out promises to be a good one. It is as follows: May 2—Dover at Newton. May 1 1—Hackettstown at Dover. May 15—Hanover at Dover. May 21—Dover at Chatham. May 23—Newton at Dover. May 29—Dover at Hackettstown. Of course the above is hope that the team comes out teams of bygone days. June 1—Boonton at Dover. June 4—Madison at Dover. June 8—Dover at Hanover. June I 3—Dover at Boonton. June 20—Alumni at Dover. sincerely work of subject to change, but whatever change is made we all with a majority of victories and so keep up the good 31 Atlilelir iEeabera GUSTAV HELLER Manager Football WILLIAM AUER Manager Basketball JOSEPH DICK Football Captain Baseball Manager Hasrhall Haskrtball iFimtbaU HAROLD SHORTER Captain Baseball JOSEPH STARK Captain Basketball (Ehr ittnair (Elub ©ftirrrs PRESIDENT...............ROBERT B. JENKINS VICE-PRESIDENT.............MAX M. MEISNER SECRETARY............................RUTH HELLER TREASURER........................MARJORIE SPARGO THE Music Club was founded January 13, 1916, by our principal, Mr. Platt. At first call of those interested in music only six responded, but Mr. Platt kept to his task and the next meeting was attended by seventeen, officers being elected as follows: Beatrice Singer, President; Hester Hiler, Vice-President; E. Gedanski, Secretary; and Dorothy Rassler, Treasurer. At the next meeting the club was fruitful and multiplied, fifty-six were present. Thus it continued to grow, till now at the present time it composes nearly all of the High School. The object Mr. Platt had in view in starting this club was to bring out all the talent that might exist in the High School. In this he succeeded very well, many youthful singers and musicians coming to the front, each eager to outdo the other in friendly rivalry. Special mention must here be given to Albert Liss, who was indeed a wonderful violin player for a young man of his age; also to Willard Sektberg, who is the best pianist the school has known. 34 Then, too, the chairmen who arranged these interesting programs must be praised, all the townspeople and out-of-townfolks who helped must be thanked, for they also helped to keep the club thriving. It was they who aroused the school to recognize the fact that music is something more than a drudgery to be endured simply because it was in the curriculum, and it was also they who assisted the club by giving it attention amongst the citizens of Dover and in general helping the club to be recognized outside the school. It was not with the intention of raising any great amount of money that a small admission of two cents was charged the first year, but the real reason was to defray the expenses which arise in such an organization, which, moreover, reached such a high point that the price of admission the second year was raised to five cents. The officers for this year are as follows: Robert B. Jenkins, President; Max Meisner, Vice-President; Ruth Heller, Secretary; and Marjorie Spargo, Treasurer. The club is now, due to the rise in price of admission, a wealthy organization well conducted by the staff of officers. The Glee Club, which has won so much respect from the school and town, is a byproduct of this Club. It was the inspiration given by it that induced this crowd of enthusiastic young men to organize and develop their musical ability. Although the main object of the club is to train the classic style of music, yet at times a little nonsense has been allowed. Some of the boys in the first year arranged a ministrel show which made a decided “hit” with everyone. In the second year, or this year, the president of the club introduced into it something entirely new to the High School, vaudeville, and since then at times other boys have come forward with the same “line of talk.” Also, in connection with this, the club secured permission in the latter months of the year to hold short dances after each musical. This seemed to crown the efforts of the club toward giving the school high-class entertainment. In short, the club finally worked out to be an association which not only developed the musical ability of the school, but also gave it a means of enjoyment it will never forget, at the same time promoting the social unity of the school in general till it has reached a point higher than ever before. As a result of all these endeavorments it now ranks as the largest organization in the school, much to the credit of Mr. Platt, who together with the two presidents, have made it a source of intense enjoyment to all who attend it. 35 (! he (Sir? (EUth THERE has been, for a long time in the Dover High School, a feeling that, excluding baseball, basketball and football, there was nothing of common interest to the boys, and that music especially, was a realm of unachievable bliss to them. And in a way, this opinion was correctly formed, for although individual geniuses have cropped up, there has never been an organization of boy musicians. To be sure, the Music Club has offered an opportunity for some to show their musical accomplishments, but anyone who is familiar with the club’s programs knows that they are almost wholly made up of girls. It was, then, a shattering of the old tradition, as well as a source of amusement and satisfaction for its members, when, with the beginning of the new year, there came also the beginning of a new club. The Dover High School Glee Club. Those who have heard it, may wonder why it is called a Glee Club, for singing is not yet a part of its program. But when the club was originally formed, it was intended that it should branch out into the vocal line as soon as it had practiced sufficiently in the instrumental department, and now, as this book goes to press, the fellows are practicing diligently for a Grand Concert, both vocal and instrumental, to be given at the close of their first, and thus far, most successful season. The principal drawback to this concert has been the numerous engagements of the club. These have taken so much of the time that there has been very little left for practice. Among them, there are a few which deserve special mention because of their importance. The Glee Club members comprised the orchestra for the community play, given in February, “A Night in Dreamland. The entire club furnished the music for the banquet of the Chamber of Commerce, held at the Hotel Dover; it played for several organizations in Dover, held a concert and dance at the school, for the benefit of visitors, during “Visit the School Week,” and has even sought new fields to conquer in the neighboring village of Ledgewood. On the whole, the first season has been very successful, for three reasons. First, it has delighted the audience wherever it has played. Second, it has beeen a great source of enjoyment and education for its members, and, third, it has brought the Dover High School as much, if not more credit than any other activity attempted. And as the years roll on, and the school becomes larger and larger, we hope that the Glee Club shall become more of an institution in the school, that the membership of fourteen, which it has at present, will multiply itself over and over, just as the two who originated it developed into the five who first played with it, and from there into the present body. Above all, we hope that the summer vacation will not extinguish the desire for this activity, and that the next year and all the years to follow will find it bigger and better than ever.

Merely saying that we have a progressive Junior Class is not doing justice to the splendid spirit which this group of students manifest. From the appearance of our class when we organized and the confusion and turmoil which existed, no one looked forward to a very peaceful or well disciplined class. Now, thanks to the strict surveillance under which the teachers, especially Miss Freeman kept us, we are developing into creatures which bear some resemblance to respectable citizens. Still, in spite of our Herculean efforts, we are at times designated by the cutting terms of barbarians,” and even our poet-teacher says, “When you can’t master the Teutonic language, how can you expect to subdue the German people.” We organized October 15, 1916, and the following officers were chosen: President, Everett James; Vice-President, Alberta Jenkins; Secretary, George Munson, and Treasurer, Edith Munson. Our first attempt at giving a social function was a dance. This was held in October and it was such a great success that we gave another on December 27th. Despite the fact that the weather was exceedingly stormy, an excellent crowd presented itself. So much for our social activities. In athletics, too, we have received recognition. One of our number is Associate-Athletic Editor of our enterprising paper, the “Clarion.” Our boys are no mean basketball players either, and the girls boast of the fact that four-fifths of the girl s basketball team are Juniors. The Glee Club, too, contains a fairly representative number. What would we do without our bells and drum? And what a falling off in mandolin players there would be if the Juniors absented themselves. What remarkable genius is found in another member of the Junior Class, who holds everyone enthralled by his wonderful feats at the piano and pipe organ. Although justly proud of our winning team of debators which consists entirely of Seniors, we take some credit to ourselves because we furnished the material on which they polished their wits in the intra-school debates, and we look forward to having their mantle fall on our shoulders next year. Thus part of our history reads. On the whole the class does not fall below the standard applied to classes, nor does it reach above it. Just like every other class we are good and bad, bright and dull, energetic and lazy, but we “mean well.” Mane Jordan, 18. 37 instimj of thr £ n;iluinuur (Elasfi ONE clear day in the year of 1915, a ship came sailing into the harbor of High School which was called the “Class of 1919.” The total number of passengers was eighty, and each one solemnly swore he would rather die than leave the ship. 1 he city of High School was a very busy city, indeed its motto was “Work.” The ship decided to anchor in this illustrous city for four years. One of the laws of the High School was, “Work or be expelled,” so the passengers at once found employment. Among the various occupations were Science, Mathematics, English, Commercial Work and Languages. These passengers soon learned to live and act as the people of the High School. The first year was one of great happiness, they were unlike the Pilgrims who came into Plymouth, everyone survived the first year. They planted many new thoughts on which they could feed during the coming year. But this is not all a tale of happiness. At the end of the first year there was a shipwreck and only fifty-one were saved to carry on the work of the eighty. Did these fifty-one wish to leave High School and go to another city? No indeed, every one decided to stay the four years, no matter what it had in store for them. The second year was even happier than the first. “The Englishers,” that is those who were employed in the trade of English, decided to form a club and only the “Englishers” from the ‘Class of 1919 were eligible. This club, being too large, was soon divided into two parts, the first was called the “Forty Minute Club;” the second was called “San Souci.” The officers of the first club were. President, Ruth Heller; Vice-President, Edward Jenkins; Secretary, Lawrence Everitt, and Treasurer, Leo Stroud. The officers of the second club were. President, Wesley Donahue; Vice-President, Donald Kyle; Secretary, Beatrice Singer, Treasurer, Richard Ward. Meetings were held every week by these clubs. Leading topics of the day were discussed, debates were held and they also had social meetings. A large party was given around Christmas, in which the two clubs joined. These organizations, however, only continued half a year as the English Department changed hands, that is a new “boss” came to take the place of the old boss.” This is the history of the Sophomore Class up to the present time. Beatrice Singer, ’ 19. 38 ijistnry of thr iFrrshmmt (Class WHEN asked to write a history of the Freshman Class, 1 felt very much like the little boy who was told to write a composition upon any subject. He wisely chose the subject, “The Mountains of Holland, and his composition, in its entirety was this: “There are no mountains in Holland.” And the same is true with this composition. Though the title may stand out above, “The History of the Fresh-man Class,” there is really no history at all. No one thought of a history of George Washington before he was born, or even when he was a babe, achieving nothing. Deeds come first, and then comes history, so, until the Freshmen accomplish something worthy of record, they shall remain unheralded in history. But do not have doubts, dear reader. The Freshmen do expect to accomplish things, when they have become accustomed to the High School, and filled with the spirit of real school life. We are now, however, wee little “Freshies,” bashful and demure, unprepossessing and achieving, but we can only say to the school and the town, “Wait until we are Seniors. Then there shall be a history of the Class of ’20, and a large one too. And as this was supposed to be a history, I will close by saying all that is possible, “We entered High School, but if history can be, for a brief moment, transformed from retrospect to anticipation, I can continue, saying, “and we hope to complete it honorably and successfully. A. Freshman. 39 (ClaaH Sag iMpmutra Class JJrsphpsy “Rings on my fingers, bells on my toes. Elephants, to ride upon, wherever I may go—” THE sweet words of this sad song werewafted across the fragrant fields from the shores of Goodales pond to me. They issued from the porch of a beautiful bungalow and floated down to the highway where I was trotting along on one of my many riding horses. I was weary of riding, for that day I had gone somewhere between two and a hundred and eight miles from the distant city of Wharton. The soft strains of music soothed my turbulent mind and stirred my soul to its uttermost depths. At last, resolved to find out who the beautiful maiden singing was, I got off my horse and tied him to a nearby tree. I had concluded that the maiden singing must be beautiful, in fact, a far more beautiful woman than I had ever seen, for surely none but a beautiful woman could sing so passionately and sweetly. So I sprang quickly up to the porch and there, ah! ah! there,—was a victrola playing innocently away. Filled with intense disappointment, I stood aghast. My eyes clouded, my head whirled, then everything went black. I soon afterwards learned that I had fainted from the shock of being so greatly disappointed. When I again came to, I found myself lying upon a couch looking up into the anxious eyesof Eunice Goldsworthy, the mistress of the house. 1 soon collected my scattered wits and the meeting with Eunice turned back my thoughts to the good long ago and dear old Dover High School. “This meeting with you gentle maiden, said I, has made me inquisitive, so to speak, of how our old school mates have faired since we parted in 1917. Have you by chance heard of the marvelous accomplishments some of them have made?” “That I have, son, quoted good Eunice, in fact, it has been a special hobby of mine to keep trace of all of our old classmates.” “AM the knowledge that I have gained I have carefully stored away in a book, which, if you will pardon me, I will now get.” She whisked out of the room and soon returned, carrying a handsomely bound book. We drew our chairs up to a table and spread the book out in front of us. “Now, ladies and gentlemen, members of the faculty, honorable judges and worthy opponents, I announce, we are about to unfold to you what our old schoolmates have become and what great things they have done in the years since they left H. S. in '1 7.” And this how they read:— Julia Burns—Julia has become a great opera singer. She won her renown in an operatic stunt called something like Victorio elasticio in which she accompanied Caruso. Penrose Christman—Penrose went to Annapolis and became a blood-thirsty captain. In a great battle in which he cleaned up Switzerland’s navy, he lost a leg. Later he was advanced by the government and allowed to pilot the canalboat “Hardly Able” up the Morris Canal. “We’re lost, shouted the Captain, as he staggered down the cabin stairs.” I 40 Harold Cheshire—Harold became an electrical engineer. He also wrote a book called “The Cultivation and the Care of Curls. George Colvin—George now has a barber shop. George calls the place a temperance barber shop because instead of bay rum he uses garlic. Ronald Crater—Ronald, because of his great love of horses and his smallness of stature, became a daredevil demon jockey or something like that. William Crawford—Bill has become famous as an artist. His masterpiece was a large beer sign on Meisner’s “Kaff.” Dorothy Drummer—Dot immediately upon enterng the broad highway of life came to the front with a famous translation of one of Browning’s poems into English. Because of this she was appointed head of the translation bureau of New Jersey. Joe Dick—Joe, our all around athlete, secured a position in the boiler works, throwing boilers around. Later joined the National League and now is a star pitcher for the Joints.

Wm. Crawford. 42 (Class Util WE, the Senior Class, of the Town of Dover, County of Morris, and State of New Jersey, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament in the manner following: To Juniors—We leave all our base ignorance, indolence, stupidity and impertinence.

Edith Johnson, Dorothy Drummer. 44 Win (Ularimt THIS year Dover High School has attained a standing above most previous years by establishing a school paper, “The Clarion.” The suggestion was made during the autumn of 1916, and Mr. Singer, being much impressed with the idea, called a meeting of the Faculty to discuss the matter. Here it was decided to start such a paper, and Mr. Platt, our principal, was appointed chairman of the Faculty Committee to form a plan of conducting it. Soon a Board of Editors was chosen by the school, and after much work by them, the first issue of “The Clarion” presented itself. It proved such a success that its edition was kept up until June, seeming to get a little better each time it was issued. This paper gave the pupils an opportunity to put before the eyes of the school, their best composition work, which they not only enjoyed in doing, but the school also delighted in reading. It contained poems, short stories, sketches, themes and jokes, the jokes seeming to make a big hit with the school. However, all the material in it was thoroughly enjoyed, and there is barely a copy that has not been read from cover to cover. The staff consisted of two boards of editors, a Senior Board from the two upper classes, and a Junior Board from the two lower classes, each having eight editors. These editors were elected for one term by the school body. Other papers had preceded “The Clarion,” but the circulation and the papers themselves were not so large. Attempts were made to make “The Clarion” not only better in the above-mentioned respects, but in every way, and it is hoped that the issuance of this paper will continue each year, always growing still larger and better. 45 Debating THE term year 1916-1917 of Dover High School seems to have been marked with various enterprises which have never been attempted before, and which have brought honor and distinction to it. One of these was debating. Of course debating was in the curriculum before, but never had the school taken it up on an interscholastic basis. It brought out a new phase of school life, it brought the schools near by Dover into a closer social relation, and in general developed a spirit that athletics had heretofore been unable to do. Interclass debates took place in order to prepare and pick the Dover team for her first debate with Newton on February 23, 1917. The debating team finally chosen consisted of Clarence Muller, leader; Hattie Wolf, Gustav Heller, and Elliot Compland (alternate). These people trained themselves on the affirmative side of the following debate: Resolved: That the price of foodstuffs should be regulated by a Federal Commission. The debators were accompanied to Newton by hundreds, members of the school and citizens of the town. The debate was soon over and Dover had won. We were also equal to Newton in cheering and singing. This credit was due to Robert B. Jenkins, who worked so hard in training and leading our crowd. Time passed and soon we were again listening to interclass debating, so that the Dover team would be prepared to meet Hamburg, at Rutgers on April 27, 1917. The new question to be debated was, “Resolved, That after the present war the United States should so far depart from her traditional policies as to participate in a league of powers to enforce peace. Dover argued the affirmative of the question and Hamburg the negative. Again Dover was victorious, beating Hamburg by a verdict of two—one, which victory elated the school very much, and it is with great pride and gratefulness that they thank the debaters for their good work, hoping that they have set an example that teams in the years to come will follow, doing just as well as they have done. 46 Wlir iiall nf IFamr (For the Worthy Few) First Second Most Popular......................

I have forgotten my purse.” Grocer— All right, Mark. You can pay me tomorrow.” Mark—“But suppose I die tomorrow.” Grocer— That is all right. Small loss, Mark, small loss.” When you get a laying out in Chemistry, and resolve to study hard and show ’em what you can do; and take your book and find it is Wednesday night. Oh ain’t it a grand, glorious feeling. Ethan P.—“I certainly enjoyed that dance.” Inez Norman—“I’m so glad you did. Twelve dollars worth of shoes you ruined for me is a small thing in the way of your enjoyment, Mr. Palmer.” Miss Temby (after urging Jenkins to sing)—“Don’t you ever tell me you can’t sing. I know now.” Miss Freeman—“What has been the character of the Democrat’s military program up to the present time?” Cheshire (who got home 4 a. m., after the dance)—“Not prepared. Miss Freeman.” Miss Freeman—“Correct.” M iss Freeman, to Hazel Tregenza—“This is not an aquarium; I don’t want any jellyfish here. Sit up.” HEARD AT THE GLEE CLUB Mabel Hill—“Gracious, how close it is in here. Let’s go out.” Brunson— But, dear, the orchestra will change the air in a minute.” 48 Gus Heller, to Hattie—“Hattie, for two cents I’d kiss you.” Hattie—“Have you change for a quarter?” Hazel S .—“I suppose you would like to take a ride without worrying about tires and the like?” Crater (fixing a puncture)—“You bet.” Hazel—“Well, here is one of my trolley tickets.” “EITHER VALUABLE” P. C.—“Give me an engagement ring.” Ed. Peterson (new jeweler helper)—“Anthracite or Bituminous?” A SURE SIGN Dorothy—“So you danced with Mark last night?” Lydia—“How did you guess? Dorothy—“Well, I saw you limping today.” “IGNORANCE IS BLISS” Joe Dick (at the library)—“Miss Burnet, have you any good books for a High School fellow to read?” Miss B.—“Would you like something on Fielding?” Joe—“I dunno; got anything on batting or base running?” L. Gibbons—“Do I look a little pale (pail) ?” Echo—“No. You look like a big tub.” Oil your axe and prevent accidents. INTELLIGENCE One day, the Dover Guards were having rifle practice, and the instructor was trying to show the fellows how to shoot. While engaged in this laborious task. Major General (?) John Edge was standing in the rear, examining his gun minutely, and thinking deeply. Finally he summoned up courage, walked up to the front, and said, “Is it true. Major, that the harder I pull the trigger, the farther the bullet will go? EVENTUALLY Crater (classifying a list of phrases, clauses, and sentences, in English Class) — “The first is a phrase; second, phrase; third, phrase, etc.” Incidentally they were all something else. Bright Student (sitting near)—“If you keep on saying phrase, Ronnie, you’re bound to get one right.” The Baker Theatre DOVER. NEW JERSEY NOT JUST A THEATRE BUT A DOVER INSTITUTION WHERE an Endless Chain of Variety, Culture and Enlightenment TO-gether with Wisdom High Morals Education Industry Thought Music and Laughter GO Hand in hand NOT JUST A THEATRE BUT A DOVER INSTITUTION The Baker Theatre DOVER, NEW JERSEY 49 fcitUnrial THE time is at hand when uppermost in our thoughts is the fact that we are about to depart from the institution which has meant so much to us—Dover High School. It is now that we begin to realize what a great help it has been to us in many ways and it is now we feel that, as we shall grow older in years and experience, that realization will grow still stronger and dearer. It is not the acquisition of knowledge alone nor simply the materialistic benefits which we have received for which we are so thankful, but added to these we are indebted to Dover High School for the examples set before us; for the inspiration and ideals given to us; for the social enjoyment afforded us, and in all for the moral effect upon us. That influence of which we speak has kindled in each and every one of us a desire and determination to make good as we go out in the world; to fight life’s battles with a steady hand and sincere heart that will eventually not only bestow honor upon ourselves, but also bring credit to our “Alma Mater. In closing, we unite in saying that our appreciation lies not in light words easily spoken and written, soon to be forgotten; rather it is that undying appreciation, which can only be justly termed as deep and sincere.
