June, l959 Alumnus Addresses Students on Werld's Fair Warren Cooper, Noted Commentator, and Member of the 1959 New York World's Fair Committee, Speaks to Student Body of his Alma Mater. Students were delighted listening to the names of many graduates of the New York Worldls Fair Class of 1939 who are now in- strumental in the second World's Fair in New York. Parents, aunts, uncles, and friends were recognized as alumni of Dumont High School. In their imaginations, the students trav- eled through the fascinating World of To- morrowf' They were led by the President of the Fair, Mr. Wm. Dickson and Mrs. Dick- son, nee Ruth Willis. Surging through the gates from the sub- way station, they entered the nearest building which chanced to be 'tThe Court of Peace. There, in the midst of a rapid debate that seemed to have ignored the span of twenty years, were Gertrude Fischer, Evelyn Stough- ton, and George Schuster. Breaking away from serious thought, they strolled into the Academy of Sports which was bustling with activities. Tom Spillane and Ed Gallagher were rapidly jotting down notes for their rival journals. Al Kanze, Er- nie Querino, and Bill Schmitt were lecturing on fundamentals of various sports. In the womenls wing, Dickie Dickson and Lucille Thomson were battling vigorously for that tennis title. Rita Richardson and Doris Dowd were patiently explaining the revised rules of basketball to an audience of youthful wor- shippers. Next, they set their course to the For- eign Relations Group. In a spacious salon that had that certain Danish air, Sigrid Frost was graciously explaining the new hospitaliza- tion system in Demark. To the sound of gay castanets in the Patio of South America, our Foreign Representative, Bill Eckersley was lauding the wonderful relations between the two Americas. Pacing onward, they were led to the Main Square where they encountered the theme of the entire exposition. Due to the success of the former Trylon and Perisphere and the lack of a more baffling theme, Administrator of General Plans, Joe Weigle, renewed the same one. Eagerly they pressed on to a completely puzzling object. They were informed that they were approaching The Modern Art Palettef' This was answering Rudolph Von Abelels dream as expressed in his 1597 page volume of 'tArt As I Have Visioned It. However, it had not quite as competently housed the mas- terpieces created by Susan Armstrong, Eino Tiusanen, Lillian Vogt, and Barbara Wissing. Being in an artistic mood, they found their way to the Hat Box, which contained originals by Claire Krouse and Marge Hanst. While these were being modeled by Ruth Ennever and Stella Mangano, buyers, Edythe Bauer and Grace De Lucia were contemplat- ing which ones to purchase. By this time their appetites were shriek- ing out in protest of their abuse, so they heartily bounced on the tres moderne cafeteria stools of the just as modernly managed cafe- teria of Ben Delaney and Ernie Bengal. Their appetites finally seemed appeased, so off they went for more of the fair! THE PERISCOPE Spying a group of canvas tents, they dashed over to the model Boy Scout Camp that was under the supervision of Bob King, Dave Hayes, and Robert Schmidt. Teaching first aid courses, the Girl Scout nurses, Betty Broderick and Helen Jones, were attracting a crowd. Seeing a Cub Scout making an airplane model gave them the inspiration to visit the aviation building. Upon entering, air hostess Ruth Getter led them through the splendid lobby with the startling photo-mural walls by Werner Sauer. Having seen these stirring air- plane pictures, they were ushered into the huge room which contained life-size models. Their mechanisms were explained by their creators, Hoertel, Nyman and Wingerath. Being slightly fatigued, they wandered in- to the Music Hall and regained their good humor by listening to the popular swing numbers rendered by Joe Waters, Band with vocal arrangements by joan Powell. En- chanted, they followed Pied Piperw Heitel into the Grand Ball Room where they ex- ercised themselves by attempting some of the old dances that Mother did as a girl, the Shag'l, Big Apple , and 'fLindy Hop. Anxious to see the food display, they hustled into the f'Piecrust'7 where Dietician Charlotte Hudson was demonstrating the ef- fects of good and bad food on Virginia Durr and Florence Mullen. Not feeling encour- aged by the last sight, they hastened to the upper ucrustl' and were astonished at the sight of the Miss Wilt, of culinary fame, who was making her own mince meat sandwiches and offering free samples to the healthier looking members of her audience. Back to earth they wandered through the farm and dairy section, managed exclusively by Fargo . A unique exhibit of 'tCow Ex- ercisesw was conducted by Steve Wilkins who had to perform these calisthenics before the cows could comprehend. 39 Prepared now even for Hydrogen Sul- phide Generators, they entered the scientific laboratories and found Doug Hibbe, Bill Hart, and Bill Jones enthralled with a test tube that could really bounce. Feeling completely out of sorts, they went meel-:ly to the model hospital and found competent nurses who soothed their tired nerves with patent medicines by Janson and Janson, These were administered by Betty Roche, Doris Hussa, Gloria Oettinger, Mar- garet Ehrsam, and Anna Saraceno. Having fully recovered, they were en route to the auto display when photographers, Ladin and Storck, snapped a dashing pose. Continuing into the buildings, they were dis- mayed to see demonstrations by Winnie Shock on How Not To Drive a Car. Since air- planes are the current means of transporta- tion, little time was spent in this section. While reclining on the sofas in the lounge for a brief moment, Betty Townsend ap- proached with original pamphlets on What to Miss at the Fair. In opposition, Mae Carlsen flaunted her peppy jingles, What One Must See, by Mef' Making a hasty retreat to the splendid theatre, the group fairly sank into their seats. Craning their necks, they noticed Doris Bier- man, literary and dramatic critic, conversing with the anxious producer, Larry Egan. After an emotional scene between actresses Helen Masters and Charlotte Newman, the audience was glad to be relieved of the tension at the end of the second act. During this interlude, there was a sale of standard letter forms, To Meet the Stars Laterf' by Constance Strunk, biographer for 'The Playbill. Feeling there was much more to see, they departed for home, or rather, the fourth period bell rang. Speaker Cooper concluded his talk by expressing his hopes that everyone could attend the Fair and really see all they had imagined.

PERISCOPE THE Periscope, Dumont High's monthly paper, beside giving the students the latest news and scandal as it has been endeavoring in former years, has surprised the students by being a finer, bigger paper with more pictures and special features. The credit for our fine Periscope is due in no small part to Miss Burchill, the adviser, and Joan Powell, the Editor-in-Chief. TRI-Y BEGINNING the school year, the Tri-Y girls, under the guidance of Miss Menge, adviser, and Gertrude Wilt, president, eagerly planned their activ- ities. Among these projects were: a successful football supper, a play pre- sented in the assembly, teas every six weeks for the faculty, and as a service the girls inspected lockers and aided with the Christmas baskets. PI ETA PI I ETA Pl, a service club of junior and senior girls, conducted a popularity contest, sold Christmas seals to raise money, and decorated the audi- torium for the Christmas season with appropriate good taste. Under the leadership of Betty Girardi, president, and Miss Soults, adviser, the club has accomplished a great deal this season. SENIOR DRAMATIC SOCIETY THIS year the Senior Dramatic Society, under the direction of Miss Fegley and President Fayette Vogt, has rnade an earnest effort to merit its popularity as a senior activity. lts programs emphasized dramatic art and included discussions of Broadway plays and players and a trip to see the current hit, What a Life. THE TYPOGRAPHIC SOCIETY THE Typographic Society was organized this year under the direction of Mr. Roy Pollino for the purposes of encouraging those engaged in the graphic arts, to stimulate the students' taste for printing, and to aid the extension and development towards perfection of the graphic arts in Dumont High School. lts hard-working, efficient president was Arthur Guttzeit. 48 B ETA B ETA BETA BETA is one of the most outstanding service clubs in D.

Beta Beta has achieved new heights under the leadership of Doris Hussa, president, and Miss Mary Freint, faculty adviser.

The officers are President, Stella Man- gano, Vice-President, Doris Dowd, Secretary-Treasurer, Gloria Oettinger.

HISTORY OF DUMONT HIGH SCHOOL HROUGH the cooperation of Mr. Brockner, who has always been the Superintendent of the Building and Grounds, and Miss Wheeler this history has been compiled. Many of the students who now attend Dumont High School are familiar with the present high school only. Many of them would be greatly surprised to learn some of the interesting facts that have been compiled in this history. lt is especially appropriate this year to include in the Reveries a history of Dumont High School, as this is the tenth anniversary of the building of our present school. ln l9Ol, Mr. Honiss, who was then in charge of the grammar school, which is now the Washington School, decided that there were many boys and girls interested in obtaining a more advanced education. With this in mind, Mr. Honiss started the first high school classes which offered a two- year course in classical subjects. ln l909, a commercial course was added to this curriculum. ln l9l2, the course was extended to cover three years. ln l9l4, Dumont received recognition by the State Board of Education, and the reg- ular four-year high school course was adopted. A year or two later, the first Junior Prom was given. The prom origin- ated in this manner. When the course was extended to four years, the junior class was the highest class in the school. The members of this class decided that they would like to hold a prom. The next year, even though there was a senior class, the juniors once again sponsored the prom for the benefit of the seniors. This tradition has been handed down through the years, and now the prom is considered the outstanding social event of the year. ln l9l7, the Periscope was first published, succeeding the Howl which was a part of the town paper. In l9l8, when the Armistice was signed, the students of Dumont High School took part in the parade. ln l9l9, our faculty numbered six, two of whom are still with us, Miss Wheeler and Miss Stocking. The graduating class was dubbed The Sweet Sixteen. The Athletic Association and the basketball squad had women coaches. lt was in i924 that one of our noted citizens graduated, namely, Frank Osmers. He received a gold medal in a Prize Speaking Contest and was a member of the debating team. He is now our United States Con- gressman. During that year the high school orchestra was honored by an invita- tion from WOR to broadcast. The orchestra was under the direction of Miss Stocking. The graduating class numbered thirty-eight. The Reveries was dedicated to Miss Carolyn Atwood, now known to us as Mrs. Freeborn. The school year i924-i925 is memorable because two of our outstanding school organizations came into being, namely, the Student Council and the Hi-Y. The Hi-Y was started with sixteen boys, its first president being 60 Thomas Prime. The Thomas Prime Cup, now awarded annually to a grad- uate as a service trophy, was sponsored by this young man. Another grad- uate of the class was Eleanor Morgan, then captain of the girls' basketball team, now gymnasium instructor. The Reveries was dedicated to our prin- cipal, Mr. Passiglia. The graduates numbered thirty-five, the faculty, sixteen, ln l927, forty-two students graduated, and our faculty was composed of fourteen members. Among the thirty-seven graduates of l928 were Edward Frient, now an attorney of Dumont, Evelyn Hertz and Evelyn Millet, now Dumont grammar school teachers. Miss Morgan joined our faculty in l928, The seniors grad- uated totaled forty-one On April l5th, l929, the building which Dumont High School now occupies was dedicated. At that time Mr. Henry G. Wilkens was President of the Board of Education, Mr. L. J. Honiss, Supervising Principal of the school system, and Mr. F. W. Conover, Principal of the high school. The architects for the building were Hacker 6 Hacker. The high school orches- tra rendered musical selections, and it was on this day our American Flag and The Bible were presented. The dedication was a memorable affair for the Borough of Dumont. Four graduates of the class of '29 have been unusually successful in their fields. John and Robert King, graduates of M. I. T., are well known engineers. John teaches engineering in a university in Turkey, and Robert is prospecting for a large mining company in Colorado. Howard and Henry McMurry are graduates of Penn State and of the University of Chicago, Howard having received his Ph.D. is now prospecting for the Shell Co. in Texas, Henry lectures in a large Museum in Chicago. Mary Freint graduated in l93O, and returned to teach in l934. There were thirty-two others graduated. The brick gate posts flanking the en- trance driveway were gifts of this class. In l93l, the graduating class numbered fifty-six, the faculty, twenty- five. This year the Tri-Y, sister club to the Hi-Y, was organized. Mrs. Turnell was elected faculty adviser. In l932, there were seventy-two students graduated, including Violet Burchill who returned to teach in l935. The Honor Society was founded which gave recognition to students of high scholastic rating. One hundred and six graduates left Dumont in l933. There were thirty-four faculty members. An outstanding student of the year was Rad- ford Beucler who had received first place in a state musical contest. ln l935, there were one hundred and twenty-eight graduates and thirty-two teachers. This year was marked by many important changes and events. For the first time in history of D.H.S., the Student Council assumed full charge of extra-curricular activities and the S.O. system, under the guidance of Miss Menge. The annual Football Supper was sponsored by the Beta Beta and the Manhood League, Mr. Seigenfuse also had charge of the one and only golf team of Dumont High School. This team joined a 61 league together with fourteen neighboring high schools and gained an out- standing record by winning thirteen matches and losing only two. Arthur Luck, who was a student teacher in our school this year, was a graduate of that class. ln June the contract was awarded for a fence of twenty two hundred linear feet and eight feet high to encircle the school ground. It was finally completed at the beginning of the '35 and '36 year. One hundred and sixty students were graduated in I936, and the faculty increased two in number. The class left a considerable gift to be used in planting shrubs on the school grounds. A new service group, known as the Library Council and composed en- tirely of juniors, was formed in l935 under the direction of Miss Smith, now Mrs. Whyte. This same year the band held its annual concert with Capt. Philip Egner, director of music at West Point, as guest conductor. One hundred and forty-seven students left the portals of Dumont High School in i937 after being instructed by thirty-three teachers. During this year that noted athlete, Bud Foster, won the approval of all who saw him in action. This same year Dr. Selzer came to Dumont from the West to act as Supervising Principal of Dumont Schools following the retirement of our beloved Mr. Honiss. Mr. Passiglia was also elevated to the office of high school principal. The class of l938 had one hundred and forty-four graduates. The Dumont High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Stehn, took part in a National Music Contest held at Albany, N. Y., and received a silver plaque in recognition of its fine work. Through Mr. Passiglia's efforts, Dumont High School was admitted to the Middle States Association, a cause for much rejoicing among students and teachers. Due to Mr. Passiglia's leave of absence, Mr. R. F. Currier filled the vacancy. Sponsored and organized by Mr. Currier, the first College Con- ference of Dumont High School was held in the gymnasium and proved itself a worthwhile project. Mrs. Turnell was welcomed back to our teaching staff after an absence of three years. We conclude this history of D.H.S. by saying that our class tops all others by having one hundred seventy-eight graduates! GERTRUDE FISCHER GLORIA OETTINGER BETTY TOWNSEND GERTRUDE WILT 62 J..
