The Seniors blasd. AVING now reached the goal of our four-year aim, we look hack in retrospection. Throughout the length of our high school career we have striven to attain this our great accomplishment—graduation. And now it is upon us! After so many years of anticipation and expectation we have arrived at another mile-stone along the road of education. It was in the Fall of 1923 that we first entered the doors of this Dover High School, in quest of further learning. In our verdant Freshman year we failed to organize as a class, hut we succeeded in being well represented in the way of athletics. Many of our fellows showed great signs of being future stars in football and baseball. In basketball our team excelled. As gay Sophomores we organized under the supervision of Miss Florence Smith. It is said that one of the greatest events that ever occurred in our High School was the “Mock Circus.” This wonderful performance met with great approval by both the faculty and the student body. It proved to be successful financially and socially. Everyone enjoyed it and all expressed their appreciation. And so, we are very proud and happy to say that we, the class of 1927, were the leaders of this fine production. The proceeds were given to the school for the purpose of purchasing curtains for the auditorium. From then on we began to glory in our fame and success; as Lord Byron once said, “I awoke one morning to find mvself famous.” We scarcely realized how quickly our gallant Junior year came upon us. Then we began to consider our duties more seriously. We were conceiving ideas whereby money could be raised to give the Seniors, a Farewell Prom—which they most certainly deserved. We also knew that we must prepare ourselves financially for our next burdensome year. Therefore we held cake and candy sales and matinee dances to raise a fund which was so badly needed. Under the excellent leadership of Miss Florence Robertson we gave a very lovely prom to the Seniors. We also found ourselves adequately prepared to enter our Senior Year. Finally we exjterienced the thrill of being blase Seniors; but much to our dismay we discovered that the life of a Senior is not a bed of roses; that he has to work for his marks just as earnestly as the rest of the students. Our Senior Year has been crowded with many and varied activities. The first step toward the realization of our Year Book began with a candy sale during the Christmas Season of 1926. The financial result of this attempt was very encouraging and we were eager to turn our efforts toward another “money drive.” An opportunity soon offered itself in the shape of a Curtis Publishing Company Campaign. Prizes were offered to the l est salesmen and the class was divided into three teams, namely; The Pirates, Buccaneers and Sea Dogs. Notwithstanding the 31 1927 THE TIGER 1927 success of this campaign in increasing our treasury it was also a social success, for the winning team (The Buccaneers) were given “A Deep Sea Revel” bv the two losing teams. Much enthusiasm was shown by the entire student body in purchasing the far Books. Every Senior sold at least six subscriptions and we had no difficulty in fulfilling our quota. Surely the class of '27 ought to turn out some e. | ert salesmen for we have never been obliged to call in outside help to put across any sale where “gifted talkers” were needed. We are now looking forward, with mingled anticipation of pleasure and anxiety lest something should happen to prevent the carrying out of plans, to the first step in our round of social activities—The Junior Farewell. After a happy evening we will then reach the peak of our merrymaking at the Senior Prom. Budding flowers in flimsy creations will ap] ear on the arms of shining Adonises clad in immaculate flannels and dark coats. A few dreamy waltzes—a round of snappy fox-trots—and then the strains of Home Sweet Home—and that never-to-be-forgotten-night will j ass like a dream and we will find ourselves at home— leaving our school activities behind us forever. How those four vears dragged— how anxiously we were awaiting the “Big Night” of the Prom—and then—how we regretted its passing. Thus we have laid before you the history of the Dover High School Class of 27. However our history has not ended—that is, our real history. Even though each one of us is taking a different road to happiness and success in life, we sincerely hope that some day we shall all assemble once again to reminisce our delightful, never-to-be-forgotten days at Dover High School. TILLY LOORY RUSSELL JOHNSON ETHEL REHWOLDT 32 1927 T H E T I G E R 1927 PROPHECY HE darkness seemed to hang about my shoulders like a heavy cloak. A wind, laden with the dust of some far corner of the world, blew my hair into my eves, blurring the flicker of the street lights in the distance. I stumbled on with a sob, struggling for utterance in my throat, for I realized that I was late. There were strange flashes in the sky that fateful night and many times 1 heard the low rumble of thunder behind me in the west. At last I reached Union Street and turned to the left. It was the first time in forty-three years that I had crossed the old bridge over the river, but I could see no change on account of the gloom. In spite of the wind that sought to hold me back I soon covered the two remaining blocks and found myself before the steps of Dover High, the cradle of my youth. Where were the friends of long ago who once had stood upon these very steps? W here were the teachers who had passed in and out of the great front door? I stopjied for a moment forgetful of my appointment, but a voice from the shadows brought me out of my reverie. As if in answer to my unspoken thoughts came the words: “Stand not in idle silence but come with me, and old friends will meet again.” A hand tugged at my sleeve and I turned to face the man who had spoken to me the evening before. lie walked up the steps and I followed at his heels. We were soon in the corridor and in a few minutes we stood before the door of 208, on the second floor. “Stand here,” he said .and pushed me up against the wall. All the time I had not seen a single thing; but my guide tip-toed to the switch-box and turned on the hall lights. “In a few moments,” he said, “you will see the friends of your school days, but they will not see you.” Suddenly a bell rang at the end of the hall and a steady stream of fellows and girls poured from every door in the hall, and there were the friends of yesterday just as I had known them. My companion started to tell their histories and various successes while I listened eagerly. “There is Jim Lamson,” he said, “who is now the best known travelling salesman in the East; his jokes are famous from Maine to Florida. “Donald O’Brien, that freckle-faced youth, was fourteenth president of the Irish Free State. “Harold Domb, whom you see coming out of the Study 1 fall, won the Pulitzer Prize two vears ago for his novel. ‘Brunettes Prefer Bums’. “Mike Geisik can be seen every day in the Hoboken Terminal announcing trains for Phillipsburg and points west.” “Behold the great Russell Johnson, millionaire razor manufacturer. He made a fortune in Russia and now belongs to the House of David. “That long-legged youth, Jack Fitch, became in his later years, a tobacco manufacturer of Crater Township, Virginia. “Do you see Mary Kaiser, down there by Mr. Guerin’s room? She swam the English Channel seventy-two times.” “Luther Williams and Jack Pitkin are in the movies at Hollywood. Jack does the directing, and you ought to see Luke in the close-ups!” “Vincent Lopez sold out to Clarence Harring over fifteen years ago. He plays every night from 8:00 to 8:30 from W-L-S.” 33 1927 THE TIGER 1927 “Don't let me miss Joe Carey and Bob Hetherington. They originated that new dance, the “Volstead Reel that has taken the country by storm. “Phil Daher signed a contract when he left school, to become one of Heinz's fifty-seven.” “Harry Hatley, as chief of the Rockaway Police Force, has certainly lived up to all the traditions of that very efficient organization. Its other member is David Hance.” “John Totten runs the largest night club in New York City.

Bob Gardner is a spring tester in a mattress factory, and the Rehwoldt sisters are still distributing Chevrolets.” “Louis Friedman is the Socialist Candidate for President this vear.

Laura Hill decorates the interiors of many famous people of that city also.” “ I he Colvin Brothers, Mike and Paul, had to be different as usual. Mike sells horsewhips in Detroit but Paul is an evangelist down in Texas.” “Marie Junkernian and Nora Clark are models in Shonette Lasky's great dry goods Emporium in Newark.” “Meyer Goldstein made Fritz Kreisler hunt cover when he discovered the 15th position on the violin.

It's a funny thing though, that she always has a red-headed hero.” “If you ever marry and your wife begins to grow stout, put her under the care of Elizabeth Watts, who conducts a gym in Boston, Massachusetts for women.” “Marjorie Smith is the Dover Librarian now.

The hell again rang and in a moment the friends of my school-days had gone. I called to them but my voice only re-echoed through an empty corridor. The old man spoke again: “I've accounted for all but one, he said, scratching his head, “and that’s Armstrong. He disappeared after he left college.” “You're right, I disappeared.” I replied; “glol e-trotting has been my occupation ever since.” After turning out the light we left the building. On the walk outside the old man started to go, but I caught him by the arm. “What is vour name,” I asked. “Oh, my friends call me ‘Goofv Gus’, he said with a cackling laugh. And then for the first time. I saw a tiny badge on his coat sleeve with the words “State Hospital ; with one jump I had cleared the shrubbery and it was not long before many blocks were between us. Weary and panting, I literally crawled up my front steps and into the house. It was many weeks before I got over the shock of that fateful night. Only yesterday I went back to the scene of my encounter with “Goofy Gus” but the windows of Dover High seemed to look down and laugh at me for ever believing that a class prophecy could be true. ANDREW ARMSTRONG, Class of ’27. FAREWELL POEM Dear School, we hardly pause to sav goodbye; And if we seem in haste to get away You will not care. You've seen so many pass With June's high hope. Do they come hack to die. Sad with the mem’ries of a former day Among their years the numerals of a class? They tell us that some day we will he old, Content to merely live and wait for death. We can't lielieve that Life holds in his hand For some the singing, and for some the gold. But he and these go from us with a breath And all our hopes go trickling with the sand. 35 1927 THK TIGER 1927 Why should we weep as others say they do? (Their eyes, we saw. held not the ghost of tears!) Altho we leave you. lightly, with a song We can't regret the days we passed with you; We can’t regret these four short High School years— Short, for they were too crowded to he long: And now the years have gone with wealth of days, In which the mass toiled hard, some not at all; By sudden bounds some took the road to fame Unlike them, one forgot a moment’s praise And by his labor, left upon the wall The bronze, undying record of his name. Some made the pigskin ride the Autumn clouds The leathern helmet theirs, the muddy cleat. And still to them come echoes in the wind. The crash of bodies, sounds of flying feet. Some took the floor as suited to their speed And found the basket, made your banners proud; They gave their best; nor mattered it to them The scorn and acclamation of the crowd. Winged runners of the cinder path and field. Young athletes of an ancient, honored sport! The hundred yard, the half-mile, and the mile Are all alike when Hermes holds his court. When glad, glad Spring awoke a drowsy world And flower faces turned to April suns We saw the young man’s fancy “lightly turn'’ To swinging bats and bringing in the runs. Of math and Science we have had our share; Much hist’ry is, we fear, our bitter lot. Leave languages, alive or dead, behind And for a time at least, shall we lie fair? Shall we admit just what we know, and what We do not know? Perhaps our heads are lined With things you never thought that we would know: Naera called to us, and if we heard This is no time to make apologies. We ran the course—tomorrow we will go. And claim the prize, be it first, second, third. Or none at all (the world is so hard to please.) L’ENVOI Dear School, we hate to say our last goodbyes And ’tho we seem in haste to get away If we had tears they would lie in our eyes. And tears we have, in spite of all we say.

ETHEL REIIWOLDT '27. HIGHWAYS As we travel o’er Life’s Highway. Take our share from hitter fountains; O’er the crests of sunny hilltops, O’er the rugged, wind-swept mountains. Toiling onward, ever upward. To the Heights of Great Achievments, Let us see in all around us, All the beauty, all the sweetness. Travellers strange are walking near its! Many roads and byways branch; Each one has a course to follow, Each one has a winning chance. First—the road of Childish Pleasure, Winding slow up grassy slopes. Here our Mothers watch and guide us, Train us to fulfill their hopes. Here we're taught the things to guide us When in later years we climb. Over mountains steep and rugged Leaving loved ones far behind. .57 1927 THE TIGER 1927 Then as years pass on in pleasure. And the road becomes less winding Then we find ourselves confronted. By a flight of steps inclining. Xow we climb the first four quickly 1 hey’re the Steps of Education But alas they're getting steeper And 'tis very hard to hasten. After climbing slow and steady Now we clamor o'er the last And look back upon our toiling; We’re the Graduating Class. Forward now we turn our faces. And before our eyes we see Different roads to different places, Business, College and Marriage. Here now we must part forever , Ever—Ever—did I sav No for just a little journey ’Til we meet a better day. Three roads now stretch out before us Ah—now which one shall we take? 'Tis a great and grave decision Lest we make a big mistake. Each one's mountains steep and rugged Each one’s valleys dark and deep Many trials and tribulations Lurk in shadows for the weak. First we scan the signpost, Business ’Tis a weary climb they sav And holds many disappointments. For the carefree and the gay. But with study and with patience And by climbing very slow You will gain the Heights of Glory And your friends your name will know. “College” in strong, bold, black letters Pointing down a path so trim ’Tis a pleasant path to enter For a person full of vim. Here are days joyous and happy Here are nights that you will spend Burning “Midnight Oil” to study But by sticking you will win. After four more years of grinding You’ll come forth equipjied complete Anxious to display vour finding And perform some marv’lous feat. 38 1927 T H E I' I C K R 1927 Then we turn unto the third post, “Married Life”—in dainty strokes This path leads straight to Heaven, For the quiet, homey folks. And then in figures smaller This little note we read “If the other paths you follow. You will find here’s where they lead.” Now dear classmates. I've attempted, To give you advice so true You must make your own decision, On the road you wish to go. But whatever path you follow.

BAT LEY Manager........................................ARNOLD PETERSON Coach............................................LEO SANDERS Assistant Coach.................................HARVEY GUERIN fOVER HIGH SCHOOL’S 1926 football team was the first step ahead in Coach Leo Sander’s program of establishing the Orange and Black’s gridiron prestige on a firm foundation. Viewed from all angles the season was a success although the final ©CJCo 1total garnered by opponents exceeded the numbers turned in by the home-L——I team. The hoys’ showing throughout the season evidenced that they possessed a well grounded knowledge of football fundamentals and a fighting spirit. The schedule was opened October second at Guenther’s Field by a game with Bloomfield. The homesters appeared nervous in the first half as. for most of them, it was their first meeting with an outside foe. but in the second canto the untried players recovered and offered real opposition. Dover scored on Cook’s ] erfect forty-five yard drop-kick. Score: D. H. S. 3—Bloomfield 27. In the second game Dover showed the way to Clifton. The defense was greatly improved and the visitors could get at the ball only by breaking through a shield of flying avoirdupois. Score: D. H. S. 27—Clifton 6. The sensation of the Lvndhurst game where Dover ran rough-shod over her opponents, was Cook’s touchdown after a sixty-five yard run under perfect interference. He added the point by a pass to Batley. Score: D. H. S. 27—Lynd-hurst 13. The next to lie met was Dover’s old enemy Newton, which had not registered a win over the tigers in ten years. The 1926 combination kept up the tradition by holding them to a scoreless tie although greatly outweighed by Newton’s veteran aggregation. Score: D. H. S. 0—Newton 0. Dover’s winning streak received a sudden jolt when in an extremely loosely played exhibition Roxbury triumphed. The scrubs were used during the greater part of the contest. Score: D. H. S. 0—Roxbury 28. In the following three weeks the Orange and Black clad gridders encountered a trio of fast, tricky, pig-skin crews. In the Princeton contest Clefifi, the wide-awake right-wing intercepted the ball and raced twenty-five yards for the first touchdown that had been scored against the Cubs in three years. Scores: D. H. S.—0 Madison—37 D. H. S.—7 Princeton—47 D. H. S.—3 Summit—18 As usual the season ended in a burst of fireworks with the customary Morristown clash which drew a crowd of over 3,500 fans. Score: D. H. S. 0, Morristown 22. 51 Top Row:—-Edward McGarry. Jack Pitkin, Walter Buckley, E. L. Smith (Coach). Bottom Row:—Harry Richards, Spenceley Rainey, Samuel Hon. 52 BASKETBALL OOX after the annual Thanksgiving day football game with Morristown the call for candidates for the basketball team was issued by Coach E. L. Smith. About forty boys reported for initial practice and the task for weeding out the good material from the large turnout, soon commenced. Only four men returned to school in the fall, that had any practical experience, these were: Spencelev Rainey, (appointed Captain), Walter Buckley. Jack Pitkin and Sam Hon. Three of those boys are seniors. Around these four men our mentor built a well-balanced machine that, during the latter part of the season showed remarkable skill in their passing, shooting and floor work. Much credit is due to Mr. Smith for his ability to teach the boys the fundamentals of the game, also the true meaning of sportsmanship. Our school is proud to have a quintet of the type of players that knew how to come out of a defeat “smiling.” He is also responsible for the development of several of the more inexperienced boys, Harry Richards, Bill Farr, and Gallina. Gallina and Farr were two of the substitutes that could be relied upon when sent into the game to relieve one of the regulars. Richards after coming along so fast earned the birth of right forward, and received his first letter. The boys deserve much praise for their fine sportsmanship, and aggressiveness that they showed throughout the season. “Spence” Rainey was the outstanding player of the squad, and high individual scorer. We expect to hear more of “Spence after he leaves school, for we believe that he can gain a place on some fast semi-pro team. “S] ence was also honored by being elected captain at the beginning of the season, succeeding “Mish Bernstein. “Walt” Buckley, was an unselfish player at all times. His passes were the beginning of a great many baskets scored by his team-mates. Jack Pitkin, finally put one across on us by earning his first “D.” Jack, is one of the school’s most ardent supporters of athletics. He has gone out for every sport since his coming into High School. “Jack. held down one of the guard positions, and made a great success as a guard. Sam Hon, was one of the leading contenders on the squad for point gathering. “Sam would make a good man for any prep school, for he is always in the game with his heart and soul. Harry Richards, was the man who came through. Harry could teach any of the scrubs how to drop them in the net. Joe Carey played substitute guard with Gallina. Joe is a fair basketballer, but as a guard on the football team he ranks with the best. The other substitutes were “Tony Clefti. Bill Farr and Hetherington. These three bovs are due to create a stir in the basketball circles within a few years. Top Row:—Shoimette Laskey, Marie Junkerman, Mrs. deGrange (Coach), Eleanor Gill, Johnette Friedman.

FRENCH CLUB BASKETBALL TEAM ARLY in 1927 a Club League was formed, in which each club team was to play two games with each of the other club teams. The French Club’s first game was with their ancient rivals, the German Club. The first half was close with neither team holding the edge, but the French Club drew away in the concluding half, winning 9-6. The return game with the Germans was won handily by the French men. Score 23-15. The third game brought the French Club into contact with an undefeated team, the Hermes Club. The French won 19-13. The French Club next met and defeated the Latin Club in a fairly slow game by a margin of 12-8. The return match was faster but easily won by the French Club, which piled up the score in the second half, the final score being 16-5. The sixth game of the series proved to be the fastest and most exciting of the Inter-Qub series. The Delta Kappa and French Club battled to an 8-7 final score. The last game with the Hermes Club was won making the French Club undefeated, Inter-Qub Champions of 1927. '58 DU O TRES Top Row: Robert Pitkin, Gerald Whitmore, Clifford Nixon, Elwood Teed.

At one time there was a discussion of contemporary Fiction. At another meeting the Victorian writers were the subject. Contemporary Poetry and Modern Drama were the topics also at a later meeting. We believe that never before in our memory have so many novels, plays and anthologies been read as within the past term. It is hoped by the Club that this interest in Literature will not diminish. Its popularity we will consider enough reward. ANDREW ARMSTRONG, Secretary. 61 Top Row:—Burt Scholl, Geo. Barker, Michael Geisik, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Cummins, Phil. Daher, Harry Brown. Wm. Lariverc.

The purpose of this club is to arouse more interest in the business world and to encourage a cooperative spirit among our classmates of the Commercial Course. The membership requirement admits only those with an average of “G in their subjects. The club meets twice each month. At these meetings both topics of school and of the day, are interestingly discussed. The Hermes members have been active in many school activities. The club's basketball team of McCarthy, Brown, Callahan, Scholl. Ekedahl, Geisik, Bassett, manager, and Daher, captain, has brought the Hermes Club before the school and towns-peoples. The team succeeded in winning second place in the High School Club Tournament.

FRENCH CLUB 1927 THE TIGER 1927 E CERELE FRANCAIS,” was organized in the last school year by French Students of the class of “26.” the This year it was decided by the Senior French Students to adopt a new constitution and an entirely new system of activities. At the first i meeting the following officers were elected. President........................AN I)RE V AR MSTRONG Vice President......................GUNNAR NELSON Secretary....................................MARGARET DOERR Treasurer......................................TILLIE LOORY The constitution provided for a meeting during class jeriod every other Friday, and a social “get-to-gether” every six weeks. We also provided for the annexation of two other classes, the 2B’s and the 2A’s. This was done at an early date, and those classes elected their won officers. The semi-monthly meetings were, and are. enlivend with interesting programs dealing with French Literature, Art and Government. Occasional musical programs are also introduced during which the members withdraw to the auditorium and sing French songs. As for the “social-get-to-gethers,” no other form of social activities in the High School has ever had a greater success. Games, dancing and refreshments have made these evenings very pleasant. I'll same officers were retained during the second semester in the Senior class, although changes were made in the other two clubs. A pin was chosen and bigger and better programs were provided for. A basketball team was organized, the career of which was distinguished by victory in every game and its final game with the Delta Kappa made it the champion club of the school. From this data it is easily seen that an interest in the French people, their language and their country, as well as an interest in inter-club athletics has been inspired and stimulated. This was the purpose of the French Club in the beginning, and when coupled with the feeling of good-fellowship surrounding the whole organization, we feel that we have set a goal for others to achieve in the future.

The subject for argument will he: “Resolved: that the United States government grant immediate and complete independence to the Philippine The affirmative team which will debate with Madison is composed of the following: John Totten, Lillian Schoenbrun, Andrew Armstrong, and Elise Ely. i hose of the negative who will debate at Summit are: Harry Batley, Lindsay Johns, Harold Domh, and Shonnette Lasky. 1 he prospects for success are very bright this year as the members composing both varsities are well prepared, due to conscientious work. It is to he expected that the speakers representing the Orange and Black will leave, at the end of the season, an outstanding record behind them. 66 Top Row:—Harold Domb.

PRO AND CON RO AND CON was organized early in nineteen twenty-six with the object of promoting forensic activities in the Dover High School. Activities for nineteen twenty-six and twenty-seven were begun in November. In December a large delegation attended the Rutgers Inter-scholastic Debating League Conference, that was held at Rutgers University. Jack Totten was the official delegate. Many debates have been scheduled for the season and thus all members of the Pro and Con will have the op] ortunity of participating in a semi-varsity debate. Coach Sutton hopes by this method to develop seasoned material for next year’s Rutgers Interscholastic League contest. Dover has once more been grouped with Madison and Summit for the regular triangular debates: The Question for both debates will be: Resolved: “That the Phillipine Islands be granted complete and immediate independence.” The debates were held Friday evening March eighteenth. Dover had two teams in the field. The affirmative team acted as host to Madison. The negative team journeved to Summit. Members of both teams and the Coach were awarded the Rutgers Interscholastic Debating League Key in recognition of their work. 67 THE GERMAN CLUB HIv ‘DLL I St 11 E VERKIN since its organization in 1925 has l een very successful. I he purpose of the club is to promote interest among the students in the German language and customs. Meetings are held twice a month and several social affairs have been successfully held. The officers of the club are: President...........................................CLEMENT J.

The Chemistry club primarily endeavors to bring together and tie up the theoretical class-room proceedings with the practical t hemistrv of everyday life. Attainment of this goal has been met with eminent success during the 1926-27 jx;riod. At the semi-monthly meetings pa]x rs were submitted on the manufacture and preparation of various commodities and at several of the meetings, outside shakers were present to address the members. It is planned, as we go to press, that later in the term several excursions will be made to nearby chemical laboratories where it will be possible to gleam, at firsthand information regarding certain interesting problems. 69 GIRL RESERVES OFFICERS County Secretary.................................MISS M.

The members have been entertained bv other groups and have also given entertainments to fellow organizations including the Girl Reserves who acted in the capacity of host to the boys on at least one _—= occasion. Frank discussion and expression of opinion have characterized all of their regular meetings which occurred weekly. As regards business they have also been successful else this bit of publicity would not appear on the pages of this literary record. About the time of the mid-year exams the boys held an election and appointed the following officers: President.............................................HER BERT GALLINA Vice President................................SI1A It) ODIERXO.

Devotional exercises throughout the year were led by Mr. Kuntzelman. 71 STUDENT COUNCIL 1927 THE TIGER 1927 ’•m � v THE STUDENT COUNCIL B: X 1923 the Student Council in Dover High School was organized for the ! purpose of giving the students an opportunity to share in school-management and to improve the general morale. In previous years the members who were elected to the Student Coun-t eil remained members of the Council until they were graduated. This 1 year a new system was initiated whereby each class elects its representatives each September. This method tends towards purer democracy and gives to each student the chance of being chosen a member of the Council. Eight members are elected from the Senior Class; six from the Junior; four from the Sophomore, and two from the Freshman. The officers of the Council for 1926-27: President........................................................HARRY HATLEY Vice President.................................VNDREW ARMSTRONG Secretary.........................................................MARY KAISER Treasurer................................................ALLAN PCCCINI Faculty Advisor...................................................MISS FREEMAN The aims of the Council are to encourage higher scholarship; to improve the Student morale, and to help maintain order throughout the school. Each member is assigned specified times for hall duty during the passing in the halls between periods. Meetings are held every Friday morning at assembly ] eriod. The fact is also stressed that members of the Student Council are exacted to set a good example for the rest of the High School. During the last two terms several delinquent students have been brought before the Council, reprimanded and warned. The first warning thus far has proven sufficient. The President usually warns the miscreant: “The first time means being called before the Council, the second time Mr. Black gives his warning, and the third and last offense means a short vacation. Although High School dances have been discouraged for the past two years Mr. Black graciously permitted us to hold one last October. Everything progressed smoothly and our dance was a wonderful success. Everything was in perfectly correct form and the Student Council was elated at the result. The Library second period and the Study Hall and Library sixth periods have l een turned over to the charge of Council members and the conduct of those periods has proven effective and successful. In general conditions connected with the school are improving and we ho] e that in years to come they will continue to do so with the succession of each new Council. 73 MARGARET DOERR, Scribe. 1927 THE TIGER 1927 HOME ECONOMICS OME ECONOMICS is a phase of Education which centers around the home and its activities. Instructions in home-making should have a prominent place in the school education of every girl because eight girls out of every ten assume the responsibility of home-making. Skill in cooking is dependent not only upon practice but upon the exercise of the powers of observation and reasoning. The Home Economics course aims to lay the foundation for skill in cooking bv directing pupils to follow established recipes, which are supplemented bv suggestions. The girls spend two jieriods each week in the kitchen where they plan and cook food. During the first year they are taught the fundamental principles underlying the cooking of different types of food. 1 hey also learn to think of foods in relation to each other which is the basis for meal planning. An adaptation of the “meal method” is used both for the purpose of reviewing processes of cooking and of gaining skill and speed in the preparation during the term. Meals are served. Table service and food value are emphasized at this time. In order to live, one requires nourishment. Home Economics teaches a girl to plan and balance that nourishment so that a person may get the best results from his eats. 75 INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT URING this year our work has been divided into three divisions; Mechanical drawing, wood work and electrical work, with the aims varying in each grade. Now, we are planning on adding a sheet metal department for the coming year. The sheet metal trade should he given the greatest amount of attention, both, because of its growing importance and of its correlation with mechanical drawing. Short discussions will be held on the source and method of manufacture of the different metals used: as black iron, galvanized iron, lead, tin, copper, and alloys. The materials, tools and processes have a novel interest for the pupils and the interest should be used to secure practice work in some of the sheet metal principles: such as cutting, hemming, notching, riveting and soldering.

SCENES FROM THAT’S THAT” n f?- rtt rtS mono V 7 1927 THE TIG E R 1927 SCHOOL LOYALTY HE loyalty and spirit of its student body will determine the success of a high school. The student should conduct himself in a manner that will 1 e creditable to his school. He should keep in mind the honor and prestige of his high school and so guide his conduct accordingly. A high school wall lie as successful as the student body determines to make it. The student anxious for the welfare of his high school will uphold it at all times. He will not permit a slanderous remark concerning the character of his high school to go unchallenged. His conduct outside the high school will he practically the same as when he is in the presence of his teachers. The high school student should he well trained morally as well as mentally and physically. The student who receives the pro] er moral training will he courteous and act properly at all times. It will l)e second nature for the student to lie respectful and obedient and he will consider the welfare and success of his high school as his own success. One of the qualities most desired in a high school hoy or girl is dependable-ness. Admiration, confidence and respect will he given to the student who manifests this quality. There must lie unity of spirit if a high school is to attain its highest success. “A house divided against itself cannot stand” i an expression that can apply to school lovaltv. WILLIAM HORAN ’27. OUR YEAR BOOK T the beginning of the year the task of publishing an annual confronted us. Wishing to make a lasting impression on the school we decided to have a new type of year-book; namely, leather hound and larger. The obstacle was a lack of money, but with the untiring help of Mrs. Cummins and the one hundred per cent, cooperation of the student body and the townspeople, we were able to publish this lasting memorial. In this annual we present the activities of the school throughout the school year of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, also remembrances of years gone by. We want this book to l e a life-long reminder of the four blissful years spent in Dover High. We also want the annual to be a medium between the school and the town. The Editorial Staff wishes to extend its heartiest thanks to those who have made this annual a success. , I AX W ELL S E R( )T KIN. 8-4 1927 THE TIGER 1927 FRIENDSHIP “Disguise so near the truth doth seem to run 'Tis doubtful whom to seek or whom to shun; Nor know we when to speak or whom to strike. Our friends and foes they seem so much alike.” RIENDSHIP is one of the greatest boons God can bestow on man. It is an undefinable trust we re]iose in one another. We can be extremely careful in whom we confide, and even then often find ourselves mistaken. Many of our friends, we may term as “Sunshine Friends.” When we are with them, they have smiles and pleasant words for us, but when we are away from them they say unpleasant things about us. Ten to one. those who have always been trying to flatter us and put themselves “in our good graces” are the first to forsake us when we are in serious trouble. Poets and Moralists say that “true friendship is a pearl of greatest price; ‘A friend’ sometimes sticketh closer than a brother.” No one can he happy without a friend, and no one can know what friends he has until he is unhappy. It is said, that a true friend is somewhat like a ghost; much talked of, hut hardly ever seen. Though we know this may not lie exactly true, it must be confessed that a friend does not appear every day, and he who has one ought to value him. “There is in friendship” as Emerson writes in the life of Mrs. Godolphin “something of all relations and something above them all. It is the golden thread that ties the hearts of all the world.” NORA CLARK. THE “D” AN INSIGNIA OF HONOR HE letter—what does it signify? A piece of colored felt—what is it that prompts a man to spend night after night in gruelling practise and crushing scrimmage—prompts him to do his utmost, always—prompts him to carry on when each wearied muscle and tired nerve cries aloud for rest? Certainly not those few inches of orange cloth alone can suffice as the answer. A man might as well wear any other decoration if embellishment were the only object, hut another ornament would not possess that intangible “Something.” The “D” is a mark of recognition—of gratitude—on the part of the student body for such of its members as have distinguished themselves by service in their behalf. It is not bestowed as wages earned, neither i it offered as a gift, hut it is a combination of these two and yet a third factor—still the same intangible “Something.” And who can say what that Something” may lie? Who is so privileged as to he able to lay his finger on the crux of the matter? Who would declare the letter is worn merely so as to receive the plaudits of the crowd; or who is so rash as to exclaim that the “D” is displayed only as a condescension to vain self-glory; and who will say that the insignia is exhibited by the recipient as a treasured possession—a mark of esteem and honor conferred upon him by his fellows? 85 1927 THE TIGER 1927 KNOWLEDGE HERE is knowledge that gives power; knowledge that gives culture; knowledge that gives wisdom. Knowledge is like the food we eat. Part of this food goes to make flesh, part to make blood and part to furnish hones. So only part of knowledge goes to make power. Some men without a broad knowledge attain high positions because their narrow knowledge is made up chieflv of information that is practical and applicable to their work. Another part of knowledge feeds culture. It gives appreciations that make life more enjoyable. You may learn all the details about the lives of Caesar and Alexander and all of the ancients without helping you anv as an iron worker. It may make life more pleasant but it will not increase your power. In a play written by Barrie there was a yacht full of educated people who were shipwrecked near an uninhabited island. The only man who knew what to do was an uneducated butler. He built a shelter, hunted food and even set up a government while the others stood around helpless. What little knowledge he had was of a practical sort which could be applied at the moment. In a drawing room the others would have power because their education fitted the needs of that situation. There is still another part of knowledge that gives wisdom. It builds self control and understanding. A man may he powerful like Alexander the Great, or have great culture and still not know the meaning of wisdom. There is another thought. Many people speak of the failure of education because they make the mistake of thing that power is the only end of knowledge instead of thinking of the other courses. GUNNAR NELSON. A FEW WORDS ON SCHOOL SPIRIT It’s easy to cheer when vour team’s ahead, To shout when the boys are winning. But the one who wins after all is said. Is the loser who comes out grinning. The winners have victory after the fray, As pay for all of their work. But losers haven’t a cause to l e gay, ’Tho none of them tried to shirk. So come out strong, to your teams lie true, And give them all of the help you can, They're playing the game for the school and you. Support them and cheer as a loyal fan. Take the thoughts conveyed in the above lines to your hearts and keep them there. Think, have you always shown good school spirit? Have you always supported your teams in every sport, or are you one of those “I-knew-we'd-lose persons? The honor of every school rests upon its school spirit in team work. Greet the losers with a smile, and make them forget the defeat they have just suffered. When the game is over And the team feels sad Because they’ve been defeated. 20 SMILE, and make them glad. 86 ELISE ELY '28. 1927 I'W ■ ■ THE TIGER 1927 YOU ARE IN DEBT ACT! and every human being is in debt! Debts niav lie divided into two classes—the financial debt, and the ITT’J moral debt. Most of us have these two obligations. Financial debts are generally self acquired. hen we receive something from someone and do not pay for it. we have a financial debt. Moral debts are inherited. The new-born babe acquires a moral debt with its first breath! Financial debts are rarely forgotten or overlooked—our creditors usually prevent that;—but the greatest of debts, the moral debts, are almost universally overlooked and ignored, and very frequently even denied. We owe a moral debt to our parents, who so lived and conducted themselves that we might have a sound body and a sound mind; who worked, that our bodies and minds might he trained and developed at home and at school. We owe a debt to our ancestors, for passing down to us a name of which we are proud and for whose honor we are jealous. All of us owe a debt to the nation, founded by our ancestors, maintained by our families, which has so governed and protected its jieople that you and I were born free and not slaves,—free, not only of body, but free to go our way towards happiness and success. In other nations men have been born the property of other men, or a member of a class with restricted occupations and residences. Financial debts have a definite time of maturity and may be extinguished— paid off—wiped out. Moral debts cannot be quitted while we live,—the fact that we continue to live is evidence of our continuing indebtedness. Moral debts may l)e continually paid throughout our lives, and be continually owing, and so continue as debts. W e pay these debts to our parents, by so living that our parents are proud and content to own us as their children, and that they are free from worry and shame caused by our conduct. We pay these debts to our ancestors by so living that no disgrace is brought upon the honorable name we bear and by passing on that name, enha need by our lives, to our children. We pay our debt to our nation by maintaining a sound mind, and a healthy body, which is every day a loyal, patriotic body and mind. We maintain a sound and loyal liody that we may be able to defend our nation and its constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestic. We maintain a sound and loyal mind that our actions may be wise, our councils able; that we may sup]xirt the wise policy of government and reject the unwise. In short, we make payments on all our moral debts by being healthy, able, and loyal citizens. JACK E.

T The proposition for consideration is the formation of the long sought 1 for, and much needed Alumni Association—a permanent Alumni Associ- An Alumni Association is nothing more or less than an organized movement which keeps the old grad in constant touch with his Alma Mater. In other schools the activities of such societies have resulted in a great mutual benefit to all concerned, both in added interest which the town as a whole displays toward the school when the guiding spirit of that institution is drawn from the community and in new possibilities granted the students. It is obvious that the reason for the failure of former attempts in the formation of such a club is due to the lack of cooperation; and the guilt lies equally upon both the school and the originators of the society. After having spent four years in the closest proximity with Dover High it is not to he wondered at that the students have certain basic aims arising from the common ideals which this institution instills. Another reason why an organization of this type should be instituted in Dover is because it would promote and keep alive friendship among the fellow graduates. Who, merely because he has received a certificate signifying the completion of four years’ work would really like to leave behind him these ideals and break the tie that binds? It is to he hoped that when the members of the class of ’27 eventually pass on as alumni they will set an example to succeeding graduates, by remaining handed together in an Alumni Association which truly functions.

Over 800 books have been classified, catalogued and are in use by the student body. The great usefulness of our library may be gaged by the following facts. During 1926 the circulation totaled 2,534 books. Of this number 1.770 were books of fiction and 764 were non-fiction. This did not include books used for much reference work done by students in preparation for their daily work. The pleasantest room in the school was selected for the library when it was started and all students now agree that it is the most delightful place in the building. THE SCHOOL-BOY’S PSALM 1. Rare is the student that walketh quietly to his class, nor sitteth in the way of Others (in the aisle), nor sitteth in the seat which is in the back row. 2. But bis delight is in the lesson which is long, that upon it he may meditate day and night. 3. He shall be like a walking dictionary, petted by all teachers, that knoweth all things when asked, his favoritism also shall not cease, and for whatsoever he doeth, he shall receive high marks. 4. 1 he unstudious are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5. Therefore the unstudious shall not stand in the tests, nor the idle ones in the congregation of the unconditioned. 89 ERNEST NAZZARO ’28. 1927 T II E T 1 (1 E K 1927 HUNTING BIG GAME IVE your hunter in darkest Africa’s jungle shade his fierce lions; give your pioneer on the prairie his stampeding buffalos; but give me my | mosquito— For a night fraught with adventure, danger and thrills, what could compare to a hunting ex])editicn carried on within the very confines of your own bedroom ? The prey is a carnivorous, predatory, nocturnal creature which delights in all forms of cruel torture, and 1. for one, am strongly in favor of forming an Association for the Extermination of the species. Either that, or petitioning Congress to offer a bounty for the ears and pelt of the damage doer. Have you ever been awakened from a deep sleep by a sinister sound, a wailing moaning echo of a melancholy peal which rings in the ears, coupled with the sharp staccato hark of an aeroplane and the soft purr of a hit piercing through a steel safe? That buzz brings up vague half-thoughts on music and murder sym-phonies and stilettos, terpischore and tadpoles. With sleep heavy on your eyelids you drowsily attempt to shake off the marauder. Straining your eyes until they must drop from their sockets, you can see nothing hut Stygian darkness. If you have never experienced this feeling, truly you may well he thankful. I have felt it often—too often. After the cause of the insistent murmur has circled and swirved and alighted a few times I become thoroughly and completely exasperated—to put it rather mildly—and arise and switch on the light, all the time expressing aloud my opinion of that mosquito and his ancestors, singly and collectively—to put it so mildly! There! I see him coyly hidden in a corner of the room—I seize a paper— double it and press it into service as a swatter and advance cautiously to within a few yards of the ] est. Here some authorities differ, it being maintained by Professor X. T. Mologist and his followers that the trouble-maker should he gently patted between the ears several times before the final stroke is landed. However. I have taken th stand that this may b usually omitted except as in th case of mother-in-law mosquitos. But the next step is of great importance. My own particular method is to grip the swat firmly in my left hand, pull it hack over the right shoulder, eves on the hall—I mean insect—and then—SWING! ! At this stage it is well to keep in mind such things as steam-shovels or hydraulic presses or hairbrushes. Always he sure to follow your hot—once I did it to such good advantage that two yards of plaster are missing from my room. It is said that Henry Ford uses a two million dollar contract for a swatter, hut all rumors to the contrary, I still use a newspaper. And when once more I feel myself slipping, slipping into the arms of Morpheus there comes again to the drowsy ear that monotonous drone which heralds the beast’s approach. Keeping a lone vigil I carefully estimate the point of attack on my physiognomy. I wait—and wait—and then 1 realize it was merely the distant hum of a street-car! For large scale destruction however, nothing can excel or even approach my favorite plan of procedure. It is absolutely certain of action—and so simple even a child can do it—merely to allow the mosquitos to drown themselves in a bottle of chloroform. If they fail to l e so gracious as to do this act of kindness just sprinkle some of the liquid around and they will take the hint and leave. So will you. On the other hand—hut wait!

What’s your favorite course?” Andrew A.: “Soup.” Jack Pitkin: “Will you please scratch my hack?” Luther W.: “Certainly not, I liver scrajie up an acquaintance.” Laura Hill: “What size shoe do you wear?” Shon Lasky: “Well, four is my size, hut I wear seven l)ecause four hurts my feet.” Referee: “Twenty yards for slugging.” Harry Batley: “Half off for pleading guilty?” Wealth has wings, but it doesn't have any tail that you can put salt on. An optimist is one who puts two cents on a letter and marks it rush. They call him “Jack” because he’s always giving flat tires a lift. Gray Clark: “Just bought a new car.” Ethel Bruland: “Thought you were going to have your old one repaired.” Gray: “Oh. I couldn’t afford that!” Mr. Guerin: “Why do you persist in saying that lightning will never strike the front end of a street car?” Harold Domb: “Because the motor-man is a non-conductor.” THE CLASS OF ’27 WANTS TO KNOW 1. Why they didn’t get E in every subject? 2. Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? 3. Where erasers go when they are used up? 4. Where Andy Armstrong got “The Skin You Love to Touch?” 5. Why Miss Hulsart never wears a hat? 6. Why we don't get pads oftener? 7. Why Harold Domb goes to Morristown every Wednesday night? 8. When Don Guise is going to reform? 9. Why the teachers give us so much home-work ? 10. When there will be a better class ? 11. Why Jack Totten goes to Rutgers so often? 12. What the Senior Privileges are? 13. Which takes the cheese—Miss Sutton’s Overland or Mr. Guerin’s Ford? 14. How the school will be able to worry along without us? 15. How the Freshmen ever got out of the Kindergarten? Do you know that Dover is a rich town? Well, it is, and if you don’t believe it, read this: Its rivers have banks, The birds have bills. Every horse has a check. Every flower has a scent, Every blade of grass has a greenback, Every time you open a window you get a draft All our streets are flush; We scrub our floors with gold dust, And our lawns get a rake-off. Now you wonder why Dover High School is such a great success. 93 1927 THE TIGER 1927 SENIOR NOTES 8:20 8:25 8:30 8:40 8:41 8:45 8:50— 9:00 9:00— 9:20 9:20—10:05 10:05—10:35 10:35—11:20 11:20—12:00 12:14 12:45 1:15 1:17 1:19 1:32 1:32— 2:05 2:05— 2:40 2:45 2:45— 3:30 3:30 The Time Table of a Modern Student Called for fourth time—10 minutes before the last bell! Ugh! Rush to get ready. Can’t find school books, vanity case and garters. Last bell rings. Why under the sun does school begin so early? Never heard of such a thing! Crazy idea. Absolutely. No other school in the state begins so early. Arrived at last—breathless and break fastless. “Get an admission slip for being tardy.” Hunt for Mr. Black. Tain't my fault school begins so early. Finally permitted to go to first period English. Must powder my nose and comb my hair. Gee! what a school system. Misery! Shorthand. Brings lip-stick instead of pencil by mistake. Best period of all. Study. Ah. rest. Phyiscal Training. Shame how they make us work. Home. Dinner. First bell, absolutely can’t go. Can’t miss dessert. More rushing to school. Arrived breathless. Sore at the whole world and school in particular. Gee! I’m tired. Sent out of class. Sleepy. Too much running to school. Know my lesson. Too tired to study. Study. Awaken. Can’t blame me for sleeping. P. A. 1). Class. Valley of Silent Men. Released. RAH!! PHIL DA HER ’27. YOUR SCHOOL Did you ever stop to wonder When things are not the same, And you wonder what’s the matter That maybe your to blame? Don’t knock your school when things go wrong. For when you’re sad and blue It’s time to find your own mistakes, For it’s not vour school; it’s vou. FRANCES GUNTHER. Al e’s Ma: “Abe, there were three pieces of cake in the pantry and now there is only one. How did that happen ? Abe L.: “Well, it was so dark in there I didn’t see the other piece.” 'There is only one thing better than presence of mind in an accident; and that is absence of body. Our idea of a real Scotchman is a man that makes his aerial out of barbed wire so that the birds can’t sit there. 94 1927 THE TIGER 1927 THE CONSTANT BANE—(PAIN?) He walks with no too gentle and carefree manner —A funny sort of a strut—now he skips and now he trots— He’s in an awful rush! He jostles people with his elbows. And looks back with a frightened grin; He makes the hall a parking place, Whether it he right or just a sin. He just can't see why certain kids stand posted in the hall. In fact, he can’t see anything at all; When one of those sentinels gives him a push to the right, He starts, and jumps, and runs with all his might! He drops his hooks most all the time, fie doesn't care whether they cost five dollars or a dime; 1 le leans right over to gather them in. But heavens! they fall again and make an awful din. Now, of course you know he’s a Freshman, What else could he he ? 1 truly think lie's crazy! Hm!—I wonder what he thinks of me? E. ZOEPFEL.
