It is, of course, possible to choose skepticism, intolerance, and hate. It is also possible to offer trust, charity, and friendly helpfulness. The mean- ing of a true and liberal education is that it guides us intelligently and democratically into the latter course of cooperation and constrzictiveness rather than into the former channel of selfishness anal rlestructiveness. To those who choose wisely, education pays large iliviclends in the fornz of a richer life. R. W. CRANE, Supervising Principal. A SUPERINTENDENT OF WHOM WE ARE PROUD. -OUR MR. CRANE l LEADERS Wedmge fo .gzriiom This might better be addressed to alumni, for you are a senior but a brief tinze, an alumnus the rest of your life. And that is the message. The things we learn, the plans we make, the personality and character we develop now, are important out of all proportion to the comparative time involved . A faulty foundation will produce a leaning tower that no later engineering can remedy. Preparation precedes accomplishment. Our preliminary blue prints must he accurate, purposeful, and intelligent.

GANGLOFF, Disiricf Clerk The success of the entire school program depends not only on the foresight and progressiveness of a professionally trained Administration Faculty, but also upon the Wise management of the Board of Education. Dunellen High School may well be proud of the fact that it has nine staunch, public-spirited backers, who have shown such splendid cooperation in maintaining an excellent school system. Realizing these facts, we take this opportunity of expressing sincere thanks to our most able Board of Education, for their helpful support, their Wise counsel, and their friendly interest.

ANNA WARRIN Page Thirty-one aaa jfs ff. sea., It was in the Year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven, that the students of the class of 1940 were summoned to gather in Room 201 for their Hrst meeting. I Mr. Jacobus was overwhelmingly elected advisor of the Sophomore Class. The class officers that were elected at this time were respectively: Joe Walton, presidentg jean Shilland, secretary, Dorothy Bruce, treasurer. At this time the class was anxious to conquer new and unexplored fields. It wasn't long before plans were made for the selling of hot chocolate at the foot- ball games. This proved to be a sensational success, and was only the first of many achievements that soon followed as the class progressed. Later in the year, looking down from the third floor windows into the auditorium, a sight greeted us that we had never seen before, the gym had been turned into a roller skating rink. Our next venture into the unknown was the first Sophomore Hop to be given in Dunellen High. The deep blue ceiling was studded with silver stars, as couples danced to the music of the Midshipmen. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, out!--and the Golden Gloves boxing tournament was well under way. Prizes were presented to the winners of the groups. This affair added much to our treasury and closed our program for the Sophomore year. The first meeting of the Junior Class was held in September 1938, and new officers were elected for the coming season. They were as follows: Joe Walton, president, Saul Orkin, vice-president, Florence Skinner, secretary, T. G. Harris, treasurer. Mr. Jacobus was once again selected to be our class advisor. On the night of February 21, the Plainfield Roller Skating Academy was filled with the students of Dunellen High School. This was the first and very profitable undertaking of the new semester. In order to get experience for the task that was to confront us in our senior year, five of our most capable students were elected to aid the Exodus Staff. In January 1939, proud Juniors displayed their new class rings and pins. The new jewelry was the main topic of conversation at all the mid-winter social events. Why was everyone so anxious to get into assembly that crisp morning? Well of course, without a doubt, the peppy juniors were holding an Amateur Hour. The next event on the calendar was a card party held in the gym. Among the attractions were varied prizes, donated by the students, and tempting refreshments. A special committee was appointed by Joe Walton to look into the matter of purchasing a class banner. It was voted that it should be blue and silver. The use of the banner was to be shared in the various homeroom sections. Page Thirty-two The gala affair climaxing our very eventful year was the Junior Prom. The gym had been converted into a spacious country garden with a large crystal-like pool in the center. The originality of the decorating committee furnished a back-ground for the music of the Frolickers. Anyone viewing this whole scene from the garden gate could easily see that both the students and faculty members were enjoying themselves to the utmost. This was certainly a fine climax to such a successful year. Can it be, is it possible, that after all these struggling years, we have finally reached the top of our ladder? Standing on the highest rung, we look back over the past and the many things we have accomplished. Now our task was to look ahead, and see what lay before us. This year, which was to be our year of years, we had many things with which to occupy ourselves. Once again we were to return to study hall, our meeting place of bygone years. One and all, we poured into the room, and the first class meeting of the year had come to order. At this meeting our leaders were once again chosen: joe Walton, president, by this time Joe had become quite a prominent and outstanding figure among our set. Howard Ramsberger was to be our vice-presidentg jean Shilland, secretary, and last but not least, Marie Schellhorn was voted into the ofiice of treasurer. Our main money-making venture was the Senior Play. We presented Youth Takes Over to a large and appreciative audience on January 5, 1940. The flattering costumes of the dancing girls, and the leopard skin of Tarzan Apgar will never be forgotten. While all these activities were taking place, behind the lines there was a small group, slaving away to make their Yearbook the best ever. The final social event was our long looked-forward-to, and never to-be-forgotten Senior Ball, held on June 7. Amid a novel and attractive setting, we danced to the strains of a smooth and scintillating orchestra. Decorations were planned by a capable Committee headed by Dot Sarrerlee. Taffeta, net, mousseline de soie, organdy, and lame, all were blended together in an array of beautiful pastels. It is needless to say that this lovely event was the highlight of all social affairs of our high school life. One of the more humorous sides of the Senior class was displayed on Class Day. Most of our sophisticated and dignified seniors appeared in original and unique cos- tumes. Some members of the class displayed their long hidden talents by rendering some sour notes. All in all, a riotously amusing time was enjoyed. The crowning glory of our high school career, which included many serious and frivolous moments, was the donning of caps and gowns on the evening of our com- mencement exercises. The solemn processional, the stately and impressive program, the hushed audience of parents and friends, and the eloquent oration of Judge Wells all combined to tinge our Graduation Night with both eager joy and nostalgic sadness.

It was a dignified group that was waiting to take the plane. Some were non- chalanr, apparently seasoned commuters, others were eagerly impatient and fearful of what awaited them. There were those last minute formalities-salesmen anxious to make some sales. Yes, there was Bob Eckert writing up insurance, and issuing policy after policy until his wallet fairly bulged with substantial commissions. Then we could hear a loud voice shouting, Never-Fail parachutes! Play safe! Sure enough, it was none other than Howy Ramsberger, disposing of quantities of parachutes with the reassuring remark, That eminent scientist, Roy Harris, is the inventor. Double your money back if they fail to open! Howy's pack of parachutes was rapidly disappearing, and his pocket was filled to the brim with greenbacks! But who is that celebrity attracting so much attention? Is he really one of our old Dunellenites? Yes, it's Don Markle, alias Albert Williams, traveling for pure joy. Don has made a fortune, hence the trip to California. Two others are familiar, Bob Burton and Mamie Talada, that famous comedy team, who have been sent for by Frank Capra. Who is that dark, stunning looking fashion plate ? Of course, it's our Mary Smith, now a model, and she too has Hollywood as her destination. With her, natur- ally, are her seamstress, Esther Polkish, and her designer, Frances Misiew-icz. That sad individual looks like a one time Dunellenite. Can it be Muriel Mancill? Upon inquiring, we find that she is Reno bound. Hers and Don's paths are at last dividing. And who are those two distinguished politicians smiling so blandly at everybody? They are Saul Orkin and Charles Weiner, Democratic delegates at the Presidential Convention! Two individuals hiding behind glasses have arrived late. They are movie stars traveling incognito. A second Jean Harlow and Rudolph Valentino, who turn out to be June Michaels and Tommy Harris! Hurrying along, carrying a doctor's satchel is Everett Hill, eminent veterinarian of the East. Naturally, when Francis Zupko bought Bing Crosby's ranch, race horses and all, he could think of no better one to care for them than Dr. Hill. Amidst all these dignitaries is a little group, a teacher sightseeing with her brood. Teacher, look at that bird! Can it fly? exclaimed one shrill voice. Dear, it can fly like a bird, reassured the teacher. Miss Brokaw, when dces it fly? Oh, teacher gimme your hand! I'm scared! Maternal instinct has become so strong in Betty Brokaw that she is mothering twenty kindergarteners. Ah, some late comers! A tall, thin man, and a smart auburn haired miss. Of all things, our famous decorators, Roland Forrester and Betty Richards are actually sought out by that popular bachelor movie director, Gordon Harris, to decorate his palatial home at Beverly Hills. That distinguished chap with the graying temples is our own Joe Walton, bound for Montana to be a mining engineer. Who is that imposing looking individual with a camera? lt is Kenneth Kelsey, who has become so adept with his pictures that Hollywood has heard of his skill! Metro- Goldwyn has sent him an invitation which he readily accepted. There is another celebrity, who is Dick Lo Presti, Toscanini's prize drummer, on his way to Hollywood for a brief respite. Page Tbirly-six Surely there could be no mistaking the tall figure. Alfred Hadeler has been sum- moned to take Nelson Eddy's place in a picture about to be filmed. Is that couple exciting so much comment-our proteges? Mary jean Rutherford, the well known coloratura, and Harold Kellogg, the famous baritone, are making a concert tour through the West. Trying to edge her way through the crowd is Rita Berry, with a brief case crammed full of music. Upon being questioned, she explained, I've accepted a position as music supervisor in Portland, Oregon, and I'm so thrilled! That mannish individual wearing dark glasses looks familiar. It is someone not missing a trick, as one can see by the way her eyes rove questioningly. Curiosity prompted me to edge my way toward her. When I was very close, I recognized Helen Polney in spite of her disguise. Why are you hiding all your feminine charms? I asked. A warning finger caused me to stop my bantering as she whispered mysteriously, I'm after 'Baby Face Guild!' There's a one thousand dollar reward on his head. The plane was about to start so we all stepped aboard. We were soon on our way to Chicago. A hungry group got out of the plane at Chicago. We were directed to the Zirnmerman's Sweet Shoppe, famous for its tasty dishes carefully planned by the dietician, Kathryn Wilks. Even the waitresses were our friends, Betty Benward and Blanche Guinter. Now we had two new passengers. The first was Marie Schellhorn, a census taker in Chicago, who contributed this juicy bit. Folks, do you remember Rosalie Savio and George Good? When I happened in on them the other day to take the census, before I got into their home, I had stumbled over the twins and three singles, and inside I found seven more 'Good' children! Soon our hostess told us that we were in Minnesota passing over the Mayo clinic, and that reminded Dorothy Kelly, the other passenger, of more news. After singing Dr. Gene Smalley's praises, she told us about some nurses whom we once knew, Helen Mitchell and Beverly Dunn. Reno was our next stop. Muriel stepped oif for her six weeks' visit, and Connie Beland stepped on after having completed her six weeks' stay. The man, you ask? That much talked of millionaire, Play boy, Charles Irving. Judging from Connie's face, the alimony must have been mighty substantial. And next is our greatest interest, Hollywood! When we arrived, there was a band playing. Amidst all of those remarkable swingsters I recognized two local men, Henry Hodulik and Fred Verse, and the sweet female serenader was Helen Terry. With great trepidation, I started touring Hollywood. Night came on, and the moon cast its rays on the jelly Bowl. I saw an old time friend, Eddie Nagle. He was practicing the famous running backward race, and I heard another voice I knew, that of his trainer Larney O'Neill. I tell you, Ed, don't be so forward about this running backward. Ed was more than pleased to rest, so I learned about more friends. They told me that Barbara Westcott was on the road to success as an actress and that at that very mcment preparations were being made by Margaret Walker for a big barbecue. Then they launched on an account of Barbara's marvelous glass bottomed swim- ming pool which could be converted into a skating rink by some electrical gadget. Teddy Schwarz had strutted around as the inventor of that marvelous contraption until last week, when an accident occurred while Bob Estrin, the famous short distance swimmer, was diving. When Bob was in mid-air, something went wrong with the electrical gadgets, and the pool turned to ice! Bob on his way down, in spite of his prowess, could not reverse. He came, he saw, the ice conquered! Barbara sent at once for that brain specialist, Dr. Ray Frederick. That night, I thought of my trip, and of the many coincidences and renewals of old acquaintances. Dunellen, I concluded, was really on the map!

It is commonly uttered that oomph is needed to get along in this world today. Where do you find it? In the Junior Class of D. I-I. S., of course. Oomph', from all angles was displayed by various members of the class who participated in pecuniary measures by which their sparkling activities and efforts added to the class funds. junior girls ardently displayed their culinary talents in preparing hot dogs for famished spectators at home football games. Although a few complained that these very hot dogs were too big for the rolls, the majority awaited the barkers with eager anticipation. The town became pastry-minded on December 2, when the Junior cake sale materialized in a spicy variety of home-baked delicacies direct from the ovens of our best class chefs. Concentrated efforts of our classmates proved successful in the returns garnered from their fine salesmanship. Our magazine subscription drive carried us to the thresh- hold of our financial goal. Delight and dignity marked the occasion of the annual junior Prom held on May 3. Staged with the unbeatable combination of novel decorations and sweet music, it will go down in the annals of the history of D. I-I. S. as the social highlight of the year. Buddy Valentino and his Blue Crest Orchestra played for dancing in a gym that had been transformed into a garden scene. Overhead streamers, flowered trellises, and cleverly designed crepe paper wells combined to produce a delightful spring garden effect. In the sports field the junior Class contributed to the reputation of the basketball team in the persons of George Plaskon, Jim Robinson, and George Crane, always irre- pressible and popular. On the gridiron, Pobicky, Block, Fiorey, and Henderson composed an indispensable quartet and rendered yeoman service to the football squad. This year has yielded a bumper crop of successes for our classg we look to the future for a coming harvest of next year's achievements. Page Forty-Iwo President .....,.. . .,....

Thus began the activities of the Class of '42, with a trip to the New Brunswick Natatorium, in June of our Freshman year. But never let it be said that our spirits were dampened by our initial venture, for we plunged right into our Sopho- more year jivin' to the rhythm of our class maestro, Harold Hodges, and his orchestra. We had our headaches too. with those ever popular UQ class meetings, turning them into salty story tellings. The fish tails Qtalesj soon died a natural death when official mimeographed rules of order were handed out to each and every Sophomore. The football season brought to the attention of the student body the galaxy of athletic stars enrolled in our class led by our three-letter man, Bill Fisher. While the crowd watched them perform great feats, we stimulated the onlookers with piping hot chocolate. The hot chocolate, however, met with a cool reception and so Qforgive usj we did penance fpennantsj which we sold at our basketball games. The serious lack of funds might have stumped any other class but ours-for we had the twins. On the must', list of activities of any class is a cake sale. Following tradition, we held a very successful one in February. This netted hopes of landing a class banner by the end of the year. Our hnal splash was accomplished by the annual Sophomore Hop. This fishy,' affair was headed by Dave Carranza, and marked the successful conclusion of our year's aquatic careers. Page Forly-four Allen, Ruth Anderson.

H. S. history began to tick with activity. Is anyone interested in following agriculture as a means of profit? Evidently the class of '43 had such designs, when they held extensive tests to determine the bulk of different brands of popcorn before passing on the crunchy kernels to the student spec- tators for consumption. This resourceful plan for boosting class assets was one of the first struck upon by this foresighted group in assuming responsibility and lessening the liabilities of the years ahead. Youthful flnanciers again displayed their business acumen in devising a novel way to make the dues drudgeryn a pleasant and painless performance. One cent a week for dues was the cry of all freshman organizers. Striking an outstanding moment in our class history, was the class sponsored assembly program. The hand proved quicker than the eye when our genial guest per- formed Wonders of magic with little effort and great skill. Joe DeBencik and John Lindeman shared freshman honors in the fall pigskin parade of D. H. S. Our shooting stars on the basketball squad were freshmen Paul Rabouin, George Cummings, and Joe Lenner. We look to them to uphold the sporting standards of our school and add more branches to their athletic laurels in the years to come. The class of 1943 wound up its freshman career in record time and is getting set to move forward into years to come, thus making the vision of its school futurama a reality.

Whether you know it or not, this school is being run by a Student Council. On the crossroads of Dunellen High, regulated by a competent Deputy System, one will always Hnd some members of the Student Council. For the first time in our school history, teachers were relieved from study hall duties by the newly organized student control of study hall. The Council began its year under the able supervision of our President, Saul Orking Vice-President, Cyril Coadg Secretary, June Michaels, Treasurer, Raymond Frederick, and Corresponding Secretary, Frieda Hamrah. Certainly, no one could help but notice the improvement and great change in our assembly programs. The entire credit for this betterment is due to joseph Talarico, the assembly chairman, and Francis Zupko, Richard Harned, Dorothy Schellhorn, and John Warren. Exchange assemblies, for the sake of variety, were arranged with Bound Brook, Metuchen, and Girls' Vocational Schools. In view of the fact that exchange assemblies were not used on such a large scale in any other high school in this vicinity, this was considered a notable accomplishment. The oflicers of the Student Council attended the State Conference of Student Governments at Trenton Central High School in November and reported the events of the conference to the students of Dunellen High School at a special assembly. Under the guidance of new Advisors-Miss Moore and Miss Tibken, and with student associates, Vernon Garretson, Anna Wise, and Richard Harned, Student Court continued the precedent established last year, in strengthening law in our student city. The student traffic problem was soon ironed out by Chief Deputy Cyril Coad, although at first he had us running around in circles.

FRIEDA HAMRAH Treasurer ,. . , . . RAYMOND FREDERICK Advisors . ., MISS KATHRYN ENGELHARD MR. DWIGHT JACOBUS Under the capable and earnest directions of john Filmore Kolibachuk, the Student Council monopoly on candy sales at lunch and game times soon netted a huge profit. This was materially helped by john's triple entry system of bookkeeping. In fact, this proht was the means of carrying out one of the dreams of President Orkin-a public address system for our large gym auditorium. The Board of Education substantially assisted in this latter enterprise. Earlier in the year, a committee headed by Eugene Smalley and assisted by Charles Thatcher, Anne Wgirrin, Evelyn Nohynek, Arthur Rolf, and advisor, Mr. jacobus, was appointed to study point systems with the possibility of framing one for D. H. S. Perhaps this will have been voted upon by the time you read this paragraph. The annual Student Council dances at Hallowe'en and on Valentine's Day under the reins of Eleanor Loichytz, her committee, and faculty advisor, Miss Engelhard, were very successful, as always. Thanks to the early planning and the date set, the Roller Skating Party at Christmas time gave the Council a good margin of cash, although activities ticket holders were admitted free of charge. We feel that any success with which we may be credited is due entirely to our very democratic principal, Mr. W. F. Bolen, who allows our Student Government all the responsibility it can capably assume. Page Fifty-three omior ramafic Und OFFICERS Pwsirfcflzf .. .. , .,.. . ..... ....

LUCY COUGHLIN Batter up! And so the game started, with head coach, Mrs. Coughlin, leading her team out of the dugout onto the field of play. The first inning saw them lead with two such hits as D298 and The Contest Plays. No errors as yet were scored. A successful start gave these Junior Leaguers the power of serving as helping hands to the Senior Club in its financial set-up. Even the greatest of teams needs warming up, and rehearsals had the same effects as a tingling shower to a player about to make a hit. Once a year in conjunction with the Senior group we hold a double-header in the form of a Little Theatre Evening which provides one-act plays for the entertainment of parents and friends. Between innings, candy-vendors made the rounds and lined the treasury pocket of the Senior Club enough to keep it warm and going steadily. Since we are short of male scorers, we issue a call to arms and hope the next year will find a long line of actors waiting to sign contracts for the coming season.

These are only lines rehearsed by Dramatic Club members for the plays, One Room Apartment and Madness in Triple Timef' which were given at our exchange assemblies with Bound Brook, Metuchen and Girls' Vocational Schools, where we were cordially received and warmly applauded by our audiences. Major Bowes' famous gong inspired the club to present its successful Amateur Hour, which enabled some students to show their talents and at the same time helped increase the club's bank account. All right! All right! New York's Great White Way proved to be an irresistible magnet which drew the club toward one of its box office successes, Life with Father. The latter trip was financed by the treasure chest. The Old Maid, starring amateur Bette Davises and Miriam Hopkinses, was pre- sented by the Little Theatre Group of the New Jersey College for Women and offered Dunellen footlight aspirants a preview of their own future achievements. The annual spring play enchanted its enthusiastic spectators. The cast had fun rehearsing, but the real pleasure came in the actual presentation. Perhaps some day we may see plays and motion picture productions with some of our amateurs playing the leads. Time will tell!

G. C. has just completed its musical safari after many worthwhile exper- iences. Two leaders proved worthy of their positions, Mary jean Rutherford of the Senior group and Winifred Block of the Junior organization. The club worked, ate, danced, and sang its way through the long but eventful trip. Of course any safari, musical or otherwise, must have the proper send-off. What could be more appropriate than a tea in honor of the faculty with our good friend, Miss Higgins, as guest of honor? Then came the Alumnae Supper where all members became acquainted. Judging from the buzz of conversation and food consumption, this object was fully accomplished. The best fun for the older members was the initiation party at which all kinds of tortures were dealt out to the newcomers. Not one really flinched! The biggest event on our musical safari was the Carols. The selections were beautiful, costumes attractive, and the singing highly commendable. Any trek, be it what it may, has to be well supplied with Meats . The New Year's Party with food, gifts, games and fun was enjoyed by every member. Then came the real digging . Scrapbooks were given their last finishing touches. Some of the Seniors lugged in volumes that only Noah Webster could rival. Other contests followed: musical valentines and essay competitions. Prizes for these were awarded after the Step-Singing . The mid-winter Snow Ball dance was a big hit. No one could help stepping to the peppy music of Tug Banks' orchestra. The decorations of snow men, ever- greens, and frosty touches were constructed under the supervision of Florence Skinner. May found our musical safari nearing its destination. The Club made its annual trip to sing at the Song Festival at State Teachers' College in Trenton, and followed up with the May Prom. Everyone was all dolled up for the occasion ready to trip the light fantastic. December fifteenth a gay, expectant party of nine members of A Cappella and Glee Club left school bound for the Metropolitan. There we saw Faust , the best opera we have witnessed since the schools started to attend three years ago. Our farewell Step-Singing brought about the actual singing finale to our safari. This was climaxed by the awarding of prizes. 'The actual close of our good times was a bus trip to the shore. A Cappella and Glee Club united in one last fling before saying hail and farewell to 1940. Page Fif 'y-seven if O64 Cgfwmlfemea In French class Au Clair de la Lune' means another translation, but when you hear it in Room 109, you may be sure that Les Chanteusesn are there. This French peasant folk tune is the signature song, and for this reason The Singers wear the typical yellow and black costumes when performing. Les Chanteusesn is composed of nine senior high Glee Club girls who are particularly interested in music, and especially enjoy singing. This year three of the group were fortunate in being able to sing in the All-State Chorus at Atlantic City. In the fall Les Chanteusesn and Die Mcistersingersv gave an Intimate Eveningf, which, as usual, was most enjoyable. These two groups also participated in a music education demon- stration program for music teachers at Highland Park, in connection with the Middlesex County Institute. At the traditional Carols by Candlelight , Les Chanteusesn sang two beautiful Bach Chorales. In the early part of the new year, their voices rose in harmony at the exchange assembly program with Metuchen High School. After three years of successful organization, Les Chanteusesv will lose seven of its members in June. These members will certainly miss their many melodious moments, but Les Chanteusesn intends to continue its good work when September brings new faces and new voices.

H. S., the A Cappella Choir has this year truly surpassed its former efforts under the competent and ever studious leadership of Miss Ruth M. Fisher. This interested group has mounted to new heights of vocal and theoretical study by actively joining in all of the club's inexhaustible offerings. Now in its third consecutive year, those hazy plans for the future, which were so enthusiastically discussed by members in September, have all been successfully trans- formed into reality. The filling of our two season subscription seats every week at the Metropolitan Opera House has been the goal which all club members have striven to attain. Cake sales and collections at Intimate Evenings conducted by both the choir and Girls' Glee Club helped bring about this most welcome opportunity. The greater portion of this fund came from the Bannerman concert in 1939. To continue this practice the A Cappella and Glee Club are bending new efforts for raising funds to obtain seats for the 1940-41 season. We hope that each Saturday matinee will find a pair of Dunellen music students occupying two seats in the Dress Circle at the Met . Because of their fine attendance records, Florence Skinner, Margaret Walker, Marion Boyarski, and Evelyn Nohynek were rewarded with the honor of attending two operas. This happy group sang their way through the year, ending on a high note of achievement. OFFICERS Presidrrzf . . . .. . .. .. , ,..... .. HAROLD KELLOGG Sl'l'Yf'fdfj' ., ,.,...... ,. .. ....

Membership in the club is allotted to those who take pride in keeping their scholastic standing and citizenship records intact during their years with us at Dunellen High. To the faculty goes the job of deciding who's who when the semi-annual task of selecting new members comes up. To raise funds for expenses and the many club activities, this group sponsored a variety of afternoon school dances and cake sales, and on February 8, did its part in keeping the intellectual ball rolling by presenting a bona-Bde replica of Information Please, the current radio success, as an assembly program. Its board of experts was composed of faculty members who successfully and capably upheld their high standing in the Helds of science, music, history, English, and general knowledge by answering accurately the questions on which they were quizzed. So our club finished its year of school activity, and we look forward to future success as enjoyable as our past. OFFICERS Presirfzwf ,.... .. .. .,.,,. .. . .. . .

MISS KATHRYN ENGELHARD Page Sixly-Iwo enior gligiuelflfe One success is likened to another, and so during our past year, the Etiquette Club duplicated itself and became twins: the Senior Etiquette and the Junior Etiquette. The Senior organization rapidly outstripped its junior partner in membership. Variety is truly the spice of life, and so it is in our club, for we have striven to vary each of our numerous programs. Each meeting featured an innovation, and an instructive one at that. A substitute Professor Quiz questioned members on intricate points of correct expression. Our fashion show displayed not only behaved models but also model be- havior, and our skits were the epitome of social grace. Where were you on the night of January 19? After the basketball game. students enjoyed themselves at the club dance. The Etta-Kett Bulletin grew up into our Etiquette Corner in the Argus this year, and so it carries on the work of bringing the latest news in good behavior to all students in D. H. S. The climax of the club year came when our club members supervised the Faculty Reception. They put their all into giving a super-special performance in which all of their etiquette education was combined in the final effort that brought our 1939-40 season to a successful culmination.

This placard might well be hung on the knob of the band room door to proclaim to all that the orchestra will soon be philharmonically preoccupied within. When the date of the spring concert arrives, orchestra members draw from their mental album of music memories the selections which we all enjoy hearing repeated. This spring's red letter day for the band and orchestra was March 1, when Concert Master Eugene Loichytz, under the ever-present and distinguished direction of Mr. Harry Hannaford, led the group to success. Tag Day saw the orchestra and band cooperating in coin collecting, and these joint efforts resulted in meeting the purchase price of new instrumental additions to our orchestra. Forums and assemblies received the willing service of orchestra members. The P. T. A. meetings were graced by the presence of the future maestros of D. H. S. on more than one occasion. The orchestra sounded its closing note of the school year at commencement, and gave to grateful graduates a final message of symphony.

The pride of Dunellen High! Yes, there is a soft spot in everyone's heart for our most unusual and excellent combination of brass and timpani. The melting pot for all of the instrumental alloys of the school, this organization has contributed most generously to an admiring and enthusiastic public throughout the year. The members of the D. H. S. Band have supported their activities diligently on the football field, the basketball court, and the concert stage, constantly giving of their talents to further the pleasure of their audience and to spur their team on to victory. The patriotism en masse of the group was emphasized by their participation in Armistice Day and Fourth of July parades. The demand for better uniforms, and aid for the Booster fund inspired the successful Tag Day held in the autumn. Varied moods were created at the annual Band and Orchestra concert, given in February, by the brass quartet, the sax ensemble, and the woodwind quartet, besides the regular concert offerings. Faithful Forever is truly personified in these well spent hours of hard work, and also in the members' spirit of devotion toward their assiduous and ever patient leader.

Oui, especially if you belong to the Cercle Francais. Filled to capacity with future French linguists, the Cerele Francais took off with a flying start, under the control of its most efficient pilot, Mr. Duleskis. As the plane soared through fleecy clouds, stewardess Rosalie Savio, provided sparkling entertainment in the form of French games, cross-word puzzles, and many other novelties, which were bought at the landing-field before the plane took off for its journey. Candy and other refreshments were sold, and as a reward for the winning of games, a bar of chocolate was awarded to the winner. The other passengers, however, indulged rather vigorously, but what could the poor winners do, for they were a few thousand feet in the air! The plane headed into a brain stormf' and the final outcome was the cake sale which was held to raise the altitude of the treasury and to provide for the annual New York trip. The plane landed in this great Metropolis, and slid right into a French movie and later, a French restaurant. Ending this gay adventure, all climbed aboard again, and as the Cercle Francais disappeared into the clouds for another year, Au revoirl' echoed in chorus from its members.

S., but bears cultural fruit as well. For the benefit of all Latin enthusiasts, the Clan of the Toga commenced its interesting and instructive activity early in the year. Our main project during the past year was a diligent inquisition to determine the Whys and Whereforesn of Latin's value. The Latin Club sent letters to distinguished people in various professions, in which these people were asked if they had ever studied Latin, and also if the subject had been of value to them. Replies were received from such prominent citizens as Lowell Thomas, Frances Perkins, John Kieran, Felix Frank- furter, and Mayor Joseph Morecraft of Dunellen. The results showed that these out- standing personalities regarded Latin as a direct boost up the social ladder, and an indirect one up the ladder of business success. In addition, the questionnaire proved to be an inspirational stimulus to students taking Latin. In our crusade to join in active language study, we visited the splendid Language Festival at Montclair. Colorfully garbed in native costumes, students representing various nationalities revealed to us the charm and distinction of their countries' charac- teristics. Customs, amusements, and delicious foods were shown to us in attractive and tempting array. In its endeavor to bring language study closer to the minds and appreciation of all members, our club has ably complemented the work of the Latin curriculum.

With this stirring slogan nailed to its masthead, the Hi-Tri launched itself into the seas of this year's school activities. Looking through our portals, spectators obtained a picturesque view of originality and tradition. Our family affairs -the Father and Daughter Banquet and Mother and Daughter Banquet proved a pair of parental successes. Our Barkzuuril Movie Party was a boon to all non-conformists, and our Straw Ride for hayseeds planted them in the midst of a jolly atmosphere. Our Fireside Supper was a blazing success, and the Breakfast Hike inspired us in our day-breaking and record-breaking dash to Wfashington Rock. Under the competent leadership of the officers and crew, and with the efforts of Miss Terry, our advisor and chief navigator, the Hi-Tri finished its 1939-40 cruise, and is getting up steam for another wavy voyage across the seas of school years ahead.

Then a shock of hair fluttered resignedly to the floor, and the neophyte was unveiled to himself in his altered hair dress. Thus ended the memorable initiation night when nine new boys were abducted into this honorable organization. Outstanding on the club's yearly calendar were the I-Ii-Tri Invitation Supper, the action-studded hockey game at Madison Square Garden, and the recreation nights at the Y , Never was there a dull meeting, what with quips and witticisms charging the atmosphere with electric humor. Fun and puns were the keynotes. In addition to frivolity, the club maintained its high standards in character and service by aiding at social functions, acting as ushers, and performing many useful odd and end jobs.

Our new mentor, Mr. Van Buren, has led our high spirited team well this season. Our first grid tilt with Highland Park was a smashing victory with Tommy Harris playing the leading role. Outweighed and decidedly the underdogs, the Hghting Destroyers dropped their second game to powerful Bound Brook. North Arlington, a new adversary for the Columbia gridders, proved tough to digest. Vain attempts by our gridders availed but one tally which cost us the hard fought game with a 14-6 final. Another newcomer to tackle our gridsters at the famed Dust Bowl was Thomas Edison of Elizabeth. This rather weak outfit was greatly outplayed in all departments of the game by our doughty warriors. Traveling to the Canuck gridiron, the injury-riddled Dunellenites played a great blocking game for the first three periods, but lack of reserve power forced them to give ground in the final period. The offensive drive of Co-Captains, Ironman Weiner and Roy Harris failed to push our team to victory against the undefeated Plainers. The final encounter with our traditional rivals, Metuchen, showered D. H. S. with sorrow, when our lack of reserves again resulted in a loss. So ended the last football drive for nine of our first eleven men, who are to leave our ranks this June. SCHEDULE Dunellen Opponents Dunellen Opponents 19 ..

Page Seventy-fiz'e Qirffanf Gnrlfsfem Fighting under the shadow of two previous Championship fives, the 1939-40 edition of Destroyers successfully concluded a heavy, thrill-packed schedule of twenty games with a regular season record of twelve wins and seven losses. The Red team flashed hot and cold during the campaign, smashing out routing victories over such traditional rivals as Woodbridge, High Bridge, Wardlaw, Jamesburg, Roselle Park and Metuchen. Conversely on the credit side, the heart-rending losses by one, two and three point margins rallied every true fan to the support of their court representatives. Upon entering the post season State Tournament games, Coach Lowell F. Johnson's squad had the misfortune to run afoul of a truly great Cranford quintet and were set back, thus ending Dunellen's two year monopoly on the North Jersey Crown. This game completed the active playing days of seven seniors and saw Ed Nagle pass the captaincy to high scoring Mutt Plaskon. Looking to next year by way of the Junior Varsity, there appears towering Joe Lenner, diminutive Stan Olkoski, Bill Lush and Carroll Pierce ready to graduate to Varsity berths and aid those veteran holdovers, Plaskon, Robinson, and Fisher. The high scoring ability of Mutt Plaskon, Ed Nagle, and Jim Robinson has influenced the overwhelming score chalked up by the team as a whole. The Red team of D. H. S. outscored their opponents by the margin of 139 tallies, scoring 677 points to 538 for our adversaries. Once again we are proud to say that Mr. Barstow encouraged the varsity on to victory with his numerous helpful ideas and words, during the Half-time Pep-Talks! We regret that many of our veterans are leaving, for we may never again find a team such as this, that combines sportsmanship, perseverance, and competency as well as our '39-'40 combine did.

Diamonders rose victoriously from half of their encounters during the past 1939 season. Coach Joe Sobel deserves much credit for his guidance of a team that had few veterans and many rookies . Despite handicaps, our boys brought home the Little Four Conference Cup, for the first time. Contributing to the success of the '39 team were Nick Barna and Bob Burton at the receiving end, and Gar Gavornik, Rube Omert, Al Hadeler, and all-around Chuck Weiner at the tossing post. Dutifully participating in the infield were Mutt Plaskon, Johnny Ice Berg, faithful Bill Fisher, and dependable Johnny Macey. Pa- trolling the outer realm were Sam Estrin and Lou,' Perrotta, a pair of capable fly- chasers. Looking ahead to our '40 combine, we find several reliable veterans retained from last year, plus budding newcomers such as: Paul Di Lonardo, Richie Mackiewitz, Bill Scott, Bob Martin, Carl Luthman, Jack McGarrigle, Iggy Macey, Bill Lush, and Johnny Pobicky. A possible and likely transfer recruit from Wardlaw is Fred Dickerson. A difficult schedule faces our boys including encounters with spirited opposition such as Irvington, Bound Brook, Plainfield, Roselle, Somerville, North Plainfield, West- field, Highland Park, Jamesburg, and Wardlaw.

Bishop, Assistant Manager, absent from picture.J Wad, Waxman As the tennis season drew near, Coach Barstow's ace netmen were adding the finishing touches to their techniques, with a determined spirit to do their best to make the 1940 schedule their third consecutive undefeated season. Last year's schedule was the stiffest competition ever encountered by any Destroyer team. Matching racquets with such schools as Perth Amboy, Montclair, Westfield, Plainfield, and Roselle, our boys wound up undefeated. Thus they continued a line of victories begun in the previous season and brought the grand total to twenty-three wins and no losses. These victories resulted in two new trophies representing Group II North and Tri-County championships, which accompany the previous year's award for the Group II Central Jersey Championship. Looking for tougher opposition, our netmen found it in the Princeton Eastern Interscholastic Tournament where, competing against the best Prep schools in the East, they came out fifth, fifth in the point of Prep schools, but first of high schools. Not satisfied with this record, they entered the Peddie Tournament and finished third in a field of thirty-two schools from all over the state. At press time, our outlook for the ensuing season was very bright in spite of the fact that we had lost Chick Drechsler, the ace of the outfit. The veterans who returned to the squad were: jim McLean, Don Markle, Joe Walton and Roy Harris. In addition, the squad was enlarged by two promising newcomers, Bob Eckert and James Red Monroe. During the winter, practice sessions were held in the gym under the watchful eye of Coach George Barstow. With the coming of spring, our tennis stars took to the local outdoor courts in preparation fr a strenuous season. PAST RECORD-TENNIS 19 3 9 Dunellen Opponents 4 . ,.

Their feats on the high-bar have astonished those who have seen them perform at their various assemblies and exhibitions throughout the year. Hand-stands and one-arm balances on the parallel bars are only two of the many achievements that have been executed to perfection by the agile members of this club. With much more time alloted them for practice this year, the boys' development has been noticed to a great degree in their ability on the apparatus. Those expected to carry on next year, in addition to King of the Giant Swing Zupko, are Bim Law, Bill Smith, Gordon Noble, Louis Denkovie and Harold Hodges. Moreover, there are a group of mighty midgets' who are rapidly developing into gymnastic giants. Next year's squad will greatly miss the only departing member, Roy Harris. His graduation will leave the club with a vacancy that may never be so capably Hlled.

To all of those remaining and those leaving, the Retreating Destroyers proved invaluable to the fame, honor, and development of our Sport Annals. Much to our regret, these fellows will never again trounce our rivals in the sports world of D. H. S. Never again will our hearts thrill to see Chuck Weiner hit that line for that much needed yard, pass that Apple,' for the last minute cage tally or whip the ball into home for a breath-taking put-out. For these accomplishments Chuck will never be forgotten as one of our outstanding athletes. Among all the Retiring Destroyersf' Al Hadeler bows forward as one of our top ranking aces. His unsurpassed ability on the gridiron, his eiliciency on the diamond, and alertness on the basket ball court have reaped him considerable recognition. As co-captain of our Dust-Bowl eleven, and generous contributor to our cham- pion netsters, Roy Harris, has become an eminent figure in the eyes of fellow students. Not only has he become prominent in these fields, but in his apparatus work he has mastered the intricate Giant-Swing, a feat first achieved by him in D. H. S. Ed Nagle, that dashing young quarterback and stellar captain of the Destroyer Quintet, has proved himself a tremendous source of strength to his team-mates. Conspicuous by their absence on the diamond and basketball court will be Sam Estrin and Fred Dickerson, their accomplishments can never again be cheered by D. H. S. rooters. Also departing is that promising little Helder Snooks Berg. Bob Burton, lanky, formidable, and capable slugger will be sorely missed when '41 rolls around, while our popular school leader and diminutive forward, Saul Orkin, will leave a vacancy difficult to Hll. Succeeding Dust-Bowl grid teams will find it diflicult to do without such veterans as that durable spark-plug Tommy Harris, with his spectacular line plunges and daring end sweeps, and Don Buzzy Apgar, that fearless tackle, who successfully blocked his opponent on many occasions. Everett Hillbilly Hill, despite numerous shoulder injuries, did yeoman service as a towering tackle, as did George Good, a dependable substitute guard. With pangs of regret, D. H. S. loses such tennis pioneers as Jim McLean, a flash beyond doubt on the court, Don Markle, a champion as a netster as well as an actor, and Joe Walton, an all-around fellow, capably qualified in both basketball and tennis. Tackling the ardent task of General Sports Manager for two years, we have T. G. Harris. He has done an outstanding job and has gained recognition for it throughout the halls of our Alma Mater. Page Eighty-one gyda The G. A. A. experienced one of its peppiest seasons during its four years of existence. Kicking off into the autumn soccer season, the Blue team scored heavily against their Red opponents to carry off the honors in the class Color league. Liveliness in the form of spicy variety was represented in our scavenger hunt by the horsehairs, live Hsh, and scarlet suspenders that the different groups managed to assemble. Jack Frost ushered in the volleyball season with rigid intestinal fortitude. Rousing competition between gym periods and the Color teams culminated in another smashing success for the Blues North Plainfield girls helped keep the volleyball rolling by visiting us at our annual Play Day and were treated to appetizing tidbits in the maple room. Kris Kringle joined his partner, Jack Frost, and helped us celebrate the yuletide season by joining in at the G. A. A. Christmas party. Carols and games featured the entertainment ,and gifts were exchanged by all participants. Competition between gym periods, classes, and color teams, loomed large once more as the popular basketball season got under way. Our treasury funds were boosted by ready sales of megaphones and football pins. D. H. S. pennants in red and blue waved triumphantly at the school contests, and the G. A. A. fund was raised substantially by their sale to school spirited students who also turned out in full force for our after-school dance. The G. A. A.'s 1939-40 term came to a happy conclusion with the emblem and letter presentations to the girls who made the required points under our Point System, with a special award going to the one having accumulated the greatest number of those points.

Page Eigbfy-lbrrr Maya ana! .Sio0rLL5man5 L72 It is taken too much for granted by adults that fair play is the essence of sportsmanship among youth. Youth is not sporting, he ad- heres to the law of the jungle, the survival of the Httestf' Through his nature, he believes that he who gets to the table first deserves the cake. Like his manners, like keeping his ears clean, and his shoes polished, sportsmanship must be bred into his character through the same constant attention, and with the same effort as is given to the improvement of his mind, and nowhere can this be achieved better than on the gym floor or athletic field. The attitude of giving the other fellow a square deal, if well learned, is one of the main attributes of successful living. Through sport, youth finds his first contacts with his equals. He learns quickly to adapt himself to the group, because play is so natural. As he progresses he learns rapidly, because of the frankness of youth, he must be amendable or he is ostracized. Because he is clannish, he dislikes being hurt and denied group contact. By high school age he has become ready for group play. Now the responsibility for the development of character through cooperative ef- fort in team play has the chance of developing him for the finest type of citizenship, namely his responsibility as a unit in society. Basketball, baseball, and football will teach youth quickly the necessity of self- sacrifice, effacement and heroic endeavor. In these growing years youth is susceptible and impressionable, and by straightforward appeal to his squareness he rapidly conceives a pat- tern of society. Here, too, one learns the disciplines, the hard work of improving technique, humbleness in the realization of his ignorance, the necessity for order, team play and respect for the rules of the game through the referee, and the authority of the coach. If youth has learned through sport these principles of living, and can translate them into the game of life, the money that is spent for gyms, equipment and playing fields is well invested, for these lessons cannot be learned from books, but only through living. Participation in sports is living. Page Eigbly-four Page Eighly-fit e LU' Ma 2105 For their assistance in making this book possi- ble, we thank our AD- VERTISERS.
