There are few nations where one meets democracy at every turn, and where the standard of life is so extremely high and social distinctions so very few. We love life in a nation of liberty and equality, and to this end and to our supreme happiness, we dedicate this book-the symbol of our work, our life, and our spirit in school. uk A TRIBUTE 'A' Wu ALL TRULY hate to leave our school and our associates. This is especially true of our adviser, Mr. Friedman. Though we shall see him occasionally after leaving, we shall miss his friendly guidance, which has lasted continually during our years of organization. Howes er, the work our adviser has done for us will always remain cherished in our memories, and we may always be proud of having had such a splendid character as our associate. By this gesture, although it be far too small in comparison to our gratitude, we thank Mr, Friedman for his untiring work and patient cooperation. We shall never forget what he has done for us. xl' Page Five -1-Q qv sf if N fy L , if 'ix fx- AV ' si.

The very foundation of our high school is democ- racy, for our principals and faculty are extremely dem- ocratic, and our pupils have a feeling of equality and respect toward one another and toward their various teachers, which, in many parts of the universe, is un- known and totally unpracticed. Then, too, all subject matter treated here is handled in a thoroughly democratic manner, and all persons, here to learn, are given an equal chance to explore V2ll'lOLlS IIIICICSIS. Our government is very fair and prudent, and a large part of it is carried out by the students themselves. The attitude in our school is good, and there is a sincere interest on the part of most of the students to learn and to better themselves, so that when they enter the adult world, they will be good citizens of their country and will strive for betterment of conditions for themselves and for their fellow men. it A DEMOCRATIC MIND Administration Seniors Classes i' A DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT Clubs including musical and dramatic organizations ir A DEMOCRATIC BODY Girls' and boys' sports teams apparatus Page S even 1 7 earning 01404 IVQHCCZ unc 600f10mLL1'01 1 115 ll frm A DE 0CRATlC MI D if A democratic education malees it easy and pleasant to enter into the greatest of democracies, and to improve rather than hinder it.

Therefore, I wish for you Seniors an ability to keep an even mental and emotional balance. Disappoint- ments and discouragements are bound to come your way-many of them due to the thoughtless or ill-considered acts of your closest day-by-day business and social acquain- tances. In the face of these set-backs don't permit yourself to indulge in soul-destroying and profitless resentments. Laugh them off and keep on plugging. To the extent that you can do this will depend your worldly and spiritual satisfaction in living. R. W. CRANE if In some year to come the forty-oner will look back to this tumultuous time with a perspective now given to none. Then he can properly evaluate his troubles and suc- cesses. Some seemingly terrific hardships and heartaches will be forgotten or laughed at, but the joy from achievement will remain. Hard jobs well done will fortify character with courage. And character counts. XV. F. BOLEN 1 il- ak Page Eleven THE EAC LTY TE CHES DE ECRATIC IDEAL Marjorie 1. Abraham, B.S. joseph A.

'47 SCENEQNCW York Pier No. 9 THE CLASS OF '41 held a reunion in the year 1951. They planned an excursion trip to Hawaii and set out on a balmy summer's day with the blazing sun sinking slowly behind New York's spectacular skyline. As Captain George Allen skillfully guided the huge liner out of the harbor, the deck became lined with voyaging novices excitedly waving handkerchiefs, brightly colored streamers, and throwing confetti. The Statue of Liberty held high her torch and silently bestowed a fond Bon Voy- age upon the joyous passengers. As the fog slowly settled on the inky waters, passengers could be seen filling their pens, and within the spacious salon the happy crowd indulged in gay revelry. Soon the strains of Louis Denkovies Rhythmical Rascals, featuring ace trumpeteer Tony Bruck, were heard drifting through the boat. Dancing couples crowded around the bandstand to hear that famous crooner, Bob Huber, give forth a new torch song. As the night wore on, the lights were soon dimmed, and as everyone crept off to their bunks, a peaceful quiet reigned throughout the boat. The morning sun shone in a dazzling array over the rippling waters. From the galley came fragrant, tempting odors of ham and eggs seasoned to per- fection by the ingenious ship's dietitian Nina Dubrov. Hungry mobs rushed to the dining room, led by Nick Bildick, famous chef of the Waldorf-Astoria, who, by the way, had three helpings of everything. After breakfast, sports enthusiasts drifted off to indulge in shuffleboard, deck tennis and swimming. Bill Dicker- son slipped on the diving board, but his cuts and bruises were soon mended by Louise Frey, R.N., B.S., who had be- come renowned as a proficient follower of Florence Nightingale. A loud shriek pervaded the decks, and everyone glanced around to see Lillian Gorski jumping up and down, pointing to the aerial-there, swinging back and forth gleefully, was Bob Izzo turning upside down and inside out, much to the dis- comfort of all the passengers. Captain George Allen soon commanded Bob to come down, since he was causing inter- ference on the ship's radio. For twelve days the good ship Class '41 sailed lazily through tropical waters, but on the fateful 13th the usu- ally cheerful sun failed to appear over the horizon, and in its place were dis- mal, foreboding hurricane infected clouds. The waves washed over the decks, and the stalwart hrst mate, Cyril Coad, calmly ordered all passengers to their cabins. The throbbing motors soon came to an abrupt halt. Anxiously Captain Allen sent a plea to the passen- gers, asking if anyone knew the mechan- ics of a D-6 motor. Ed Pyatt, the famed mechanic, deep in research work, an- swered the call, and, through his me- chanical genius, the motors were set to work again. Through the tedious days that followed, the spirits of the weary passengers, haggard and worn, were lifted by the witty sayings of the unique comedian, Joe Houska. During the blustering night the passengers were hurled from their bunks to find that the ship had run upon a coral reef off an uncharted island. Lifeboats were manned, and the entire crew and pas- senger body were removed safely. They built on the sand a huge bonfire, which sadly reminded them of their school 'A' Page Thirty-luvz days when they built fires at pep rallies the day before a big game. The bright glow of the Hames reached to a tiny bamboo lean-to, where, much to the sur- prise of the survivors, was huddled to- gether the entire cast of the Senior Play. There they were, clutching their play books tightly in their hands. Due to long hours in the scorching tropical sun, rehearsing for june Mad, their skin had become leathery and their hair bleached, which resulted in their look- ing like something Achilles had dragged around the walls of Troy. Thanks to Shirley Van Cleef, ship beautician, who had along an ample supply of Edna XX'allace Hopper's Re- storative Cream, the cast was brought back to normality once more. The shipwrecked but carefree group decided to find out more about this strange uninhabited isle, so exploring parties were formed. jean Rifino, Met- ropolitan Opera Soprano, was found to be missing, but was later discovered sitting in a palm tree among a myriad of brightly colored birds. She proudly demonstrated a new bird call she had just acquired. G. Mervyn Roberts fBen Lakej looked very weary and haggard, due to Millie Lou's fGert Personj persistent chasing. Off in a remote cor- ner behind a sand dune, june Gorman and Kay Parlock fof the 1951 Sensa- tional Sister Teamj were discovered teaching a small band of Wewangi na- tives the latest dance step. Suddenly a loud shout, We want Willkie! was heard. There, stamping up and down on a coral reef, was George Crane, Senator from New jer- sey, aided by Charlie Thatcher, Senator from New jersey, and Claire Heilich, Representative from New Jersey. They were all debating madly with jim Rob- inson, Democratic National Committee Chairman, and Evelyn Nohynek, woman lawyer and head of the Demo- cratic Club. It seems that the former group still wasn't satisfied with the re- sults of the 1940 election. Ginny and Bud fMr. and Mrs. S.j were heard arguing as usual. The Class, despite many handicaps, spent a very enjoyable week's sojourn on the island, while Ed Pyatt and his able assistants, Mike Macey, Fred Bon- kowski, George Benson, Bob Horst and George Giese, worked diligently to put the engines back in working order. Then they piled into the life boats and headed for the ship. To pass the time away during the voyage, a basketball team was formed by Mutt Plaskon, Columbia's athletic adviser. Connie Barna, organizer of the world wide M.B.C. society, still remembering some of her technique, led the class in their favorite cheers. As the boat steamed northward, the members of the class managed to pass the time away without much trouble, due to their varied interests and abili- ties. The evening before the boat docked, a gala entertainment was planned. All those gifted with varied talents were put on the program, in- cluding Anna Wise, piano instructress at Juilliard School of Music, New York, and Olga Sobolak, who had been accompanying Eugene Loichytz on his tours. Alex Marva, vocalist with a pop- ular dance band, lent his romantic voice to the evening's enjoyment. Gloria Howard, star of the legitimate theatre, gave a very enjoyable mono- logue. And so the evening slipped by without anyone realizing it. The next day the boat docked in New York. Suddenly a fleet of Yellow cabs raced up the dock. Carl Luthman hopped out, announcing that he was now the sole owner of the Miracle Hack Co. of New York. Everyone, shouting good-bye and all promising to meet soon, hopped into the taxis. Class of '41 stood empty at the dock-a mute reminder of the glorious trip that every member of the class will never forget.

Ay origina gif? an ingenuifg WAY BACK in 1940 B.C.-Before Christmas -the juniors came up for air and firmly resolved not to go in over their heads again. The business ventures at the start of the year were merely drops in the bucket, but as the year flowed by, the ambitious current became stronger. Their first big leap was into a whirlpool of graduation rings. They bravely stemmed the tide, however, and were all satisfied with their attractive selections. Next in the sea of events came the sail of emblems, a project which netted the juniors a tidy sum. They left the shore and found themselves spinning around on four wheels in the roller skating academy. It was, to say the least, a very ducky affair. Finally, they plunged diligently into the plans and arrangements for the junior Prom. The affair was greeted with the sounds of swishing gowns and rippling rhythm, which formed a perfect climax and a fitting bon voyage to their junior year.

There was quite a battle for the presi- dency, but Bill claimed the victory, with Otto Hoegberg as vice-president. Elected as secretary and treasurer, respectively, were Betty Pagel and Eleanor O'Keefe. This cab- inet chose Miss McKenna as their adviser. The taking of their Exodus pictures for- mulated their first business venture. The true colors of the Frosh were shown by their faithfulness in this project.

B S R TESTAMENT OF THE FUTURE ir ALL LIFE is a phase of preparation which, like the seasons of the year, is divided into periods. As the earth pre- pares itself to welcome its spring, its fall, and its winter, we too prepare our- selves for the futures which are to be ours. Like the acorn which must be planted before the tree itself can grow, the first seed of future preparation is sown in carefree, childhood years when patient parental hands guide us to distinguish between right and wrong, and help to secure within us, forever, that one law of difference which is, like time, age- less. Constantly in the twelve years of our school life, we learn and train ourselves to make firm the foundation on which we are to fashion our lives, to strengthen within us those qualities of sincerity, consistency, and respect for the beliefs and ideals of others, and above all, to be tolerant of the faults and defects of others. Those standards which we set up for ourselves in this first lap of life, the eHort we have to put into the work of these first twelve years, and those habits we choose to follow, are those which will guide us throughout the remainder of our lives. Twelve years have im- pressed them indelibly upon both heart and mind, so that, unlike some mem- ories which dim and fade with time, they can never be forgotten. It is only to those who have adopted standards, which will enable them to buffet both failure and disappointment, that the gates of success will be Hung open in the work they make their own. The firmer the foundations we build as youths, and the better the preparation with which we gird ourselves, the more qualified we will be to step into the future as men and women.

There, under the skillful guidance of President Thatcher, and the advisers, Miss Moore, Miss McKenna and Mr. Maraffie, the Council led D.H.S. through a particu- larly successful year. More than one member blew off steam at times, but work was carried on, as usual, in an efficient manner. Of course, the A. A. Ticket drive was their first big business venture. Numer- ous speeches were given, posters were tacked up, and school spirit was shaken out of its moth balls. Despite a few ir Page Fifty hard bumps, the drive was considered generally successful. Revolutionizing the order of assem- bly programs, Brigadier General Schell- horn led the way to truly original and triumphant presentations. At a special assembly, detailed reports were deliv- ered by members who attended the Student Council Convention at Glass- boro. In the field of social activity, the Halloween and Valentine dances scored definite hits along with an un- usually exciting roller skating party, held at the Plainfield rink.

Last, but not least, Student Court continued in full swing throughout the year, and many an offender was led be- fore it, and given suitable penalties by Cyril Coad, Donald Vail, and Waldi- mar Cofo, the alternating judges of the Court. Study Halls under student con- trol were considered successful after a serious effort on the part of the Council. As the year rolled around to a close, everyone agreed that the 1941 Council's record for accomplishing things was indeed an enviable one. OFFICERS Pre.,-ide11f,.,. .,....,...,,,. ....

Before departing, various members gave pantomimes by the light of the camp fire. Then, singing lustily, they trudged home. Another noteworthy project included daily food sales in the lunch room. A fellow scheme for raising revenue consisted of a human puppet show, The Knave of Hearts. These enterprises accomplished the desired result quite admirably. The Hnal event of the junior Dramatic Club was the annual trip to Echo Lake Park. This, as always, provided fun for all.

This year many Glee Club girls occupied the position any dowager would envy, in the center of the Dress Circle at the Metro- politan Opera House on Saturday after- noons, using the music department's season tickets. Having these tickets to the opera has added enjoyable hours to various stu' dents' musical lives, and it has proved to be a great asset to the cultural development of numerous D. H. S. musicians. April marked the crowning event of a gala season when a Scrapbook, an orig- inal form of an operetta, was presented in the school auditorium. The performance was widely attended and received an enormous ovation, since the last scrapbook was given tive years ago. The club distinguished itself with its ad- mirable work at the choral Festival in At- lantic City and bade farewell to its departing Seniors with a final burst of song at the traditional step-singing.

This beautiful program, orig- inated and directed by Miss Ruth M. Fisher, has become a tradition in Dun- ellen for many townspeople as well as outsiders. It brings once again to our ears the lovely Christmas carols which we enjoy hearing each season, and also introduces to us many grand new carols with which we ought to become acquainted. The program Miss Fisher presented was very well rounded, and the delightful choral work was interspersed by dia- logue, solos done in costume, and other deviations from ordinary stage singing. Outstanding presentations on the program were the beloved Panis An- gelicus, an old favorite, the Ave Maria from Otello by Verdi, and some Russian carols, all new to Carols audiences. Delightful innovations dur- ing the evening were the Les Chan- teuses, performing in the costume of ancient madrigal singers, and Desde- mona singing her evening prayer before a candle-lighted prie-Dieu in a truly Shakespearean manner. Miss Fisher's Carols are so magnifi- cent that they have become a living part of the joyous Christmas season to many people. Such a great deal of work and effort has been put into them that they become a glowing inspiration to listen- ers and remain in the hearts and minds of the audience long after the program is over. The directress is to be show- ered with bouquets of congratulations and compliments for achieving such marvelous results from students who only devote part of their time to mu- sical work. The Carols has risen to be such an institution of glorious beauty and harmony that we hope it never ceases to exist. Let us also hope that it will grow even more as the years go by and continue to be a living inspiration to many more. As the minute hand reached eight- fifteen, the house lights dimmed, and the familiar strains of Adeste Fideles began to rise from the corridors. The processional advanced up the middle aisle in stately form and ended in the last glowing fortissimo passages of the old hymn. Thus, the program was most fittingly begun. During the intermission the audience participated in singing a few carols. Then the lights went down again, and the program continued to its finale, Hark, the Herald Angels Sing. All verses of the carol were sung, with the last echoing from the upper floors of the building. So beautiful was the pro- gram, that it put everyone in a lovely spirit of Peace on earth, good will to- ward men. The music groups did many new numbers, both modern, and new to us, as well as some old favorites whose repetition had been requested. Miss Fisher was presented with a lovely bou- quet of flowers whose beauty was a per- fect match for her splendid program. liil- ir Page Fifty-fre SOPRANOS Elaine Penrose jean Rilino Margaret Schwarz SECOND SOPRANOS Louise Frey Dorothy Sommer Mary Wzllkinslizxw ALTOS Marion Kenison Dorothy McKee Ellie Talada Ai'mu1fm11i.rl .md Direclnr Miss RUTH M.

Three of their number struck a happy triad at the annual All State Chorus. The last refrains died away at graduation and step singing programs. Summing up the year's achievements, it may be said that Die Meistersingers have endeavored to maintain the tradition of good music and fellowship established by its charter members.

The result was a better organization, musically, and receipt Of two season tickets to the Metropolitan Opera. Members were also privileged to attend, along with Glee Club members, the student performance of Carmen and a working re- hearsal of the opera Alec-ste. The organizations first musical venture was its participation in the Carols by Candle Light. In the spring, defying the complications which are sometimes attached to that season, a Cappella members daunt- lessly undertook preparations for a scrap- book program, one of the great achieve- ments of the year.

The club's comparatively large membership brings it no liabilities, and serves as a source of constant encourage- ment for more constructive accomplishment.

Now of course, I haven't had the nec! essary experience to be well informed on the subject, since I spend most of my evenings hugging only pencils and books. However, they say women are all alike. After reading the Tragedy of Macbeth, I can understand just what is meant by alike, Formerly when I heard the word lady, it brought back a memory. I mean it always referred to someone who had to be admired, not only for her beauty but also for her character. Today I am a different man and not because of lpana, Wliite Owls, or Tums. Instead, the tale of Macbeth has been my guiding star. Since women have so much in common, let us analyze Lady Macbeth and discover a few of the traits so characteristic of the female species. First, we must consider Lady Mac- beth as rather lucky. Not because she was called a lady, but because she had married a man who had distinguished himself for his bravery and service to the king. However, she was much too womanly to be content with what she had. Desiring more power, fame, and attention, she would naturally grab op- portunity, every time it came knocking her way. Thus, when she received her husband's letter, she immediately saw the chance of a lifetime. Naturally such an extraordinary situation is bound to be a supreme test of character and loy- alty, but evidently all this and Heaven too meant little to Madame Macbeth. Wlien her husband came home, she no doubt had to hide a smirk or two as she thought, Sonny, you don't know what you're in for! Alas! Had Sonny been gifted with that unknown power to ward off feminine persuasion, he couldn't have died a happier man. Instead, he fell into the clutches of a scheming woman who was determined to have her way. Such stubbornness and lack of foresight was the beginning of a crime wave that finally ended with death and disgrace for both. No wonder they say that a dog is man's best friend. jon HOUSKA it l'.1,igc Sixty-four TREATI E 0 THE HOT DOG ir IF THE ABOVE mentioned delicacy costs more than ten cents, it is always referred to as a fmnkfurler-on-roll. If, on the other hand, the price is less than one thin dime, it usually receives the appellation of hotdawg. One must keep in mind, however, that hot does not refer to the temperature of the specimen, for no case has ever yet been recorded where a customer received one that had passed the lukewarm stage. It refers, rather, to the strength of the mustard used. For some un- known reason, those mysterious person- ages behind swinging doors who con- coct the mustard, either dilute it until it runs freely and therefore makes the roll soggy, or totally forget to dilute it. In the former case, one doesn't taste the mustard, but usually has specimens for future reference on various con- spicuous portions of one's attire. Another unusual characteristic of the common hot dog is the fact that it never fits the roll. Either one has to probe with a drinking straw fthis being the only utensil ordinarily on handy to make certain that the puppy is really present, or else the roll is so under- sized that one has nothing to grip while eating fif the process can be called eatingj. One other thing is necessary for a truly genuine hotdawg. It must never be eaten while one is seated. This would rob the process of all its glamour and turn it into a trite and common- place affair. Of course, if you can en- gage a crowd to push, shove and trip you, mistake your victim for theirs and consequently bite your dog's tail while massaging your face with their mustard, this makes the situation even more typ- ical and enjoyable. But never mind, just learn to grin and bear it! It's only an old American custom.

FOOTBALL TEA jmtown effo M 'A' HEAD COACH VAN BURlEN'S 1940 foot- ball team was led into eight games this fall by scrappy Captain Angelo Fiorey. This is the first time that a Dunellen team has played a full grid schedule. Dunellen lost its first three contests to Highland Park, Bound Brook, and North Arlington, but in the fourth game the Destroyers rose up to overwhelm Thomas Edison of Elizabeth by a score of 26 to 0. After the Edison affair, a self-imposed ban on shaves and haircuts was lifted. The following week Dunellen made an impressive showing against the strong Canucks of North Plainfield. The Destroyers made two touchdowns to the opponents' three. A loss to Scotch Plains preceded the Sayreville game. Dunellen, scoreless in the first three quarters, came back strong in the final period with two brilliant touchdown drives, the first netting seven points, but the second being stopped on the one-foot line. A safety by Dunellen ended the scor- ing with the Red team losing, 9 to 12. The season closer for the Red and Blue was the traditional game with Metuchen. At the end of the first half, Dunellen had failed to score, and Metuchen was leading by two touchdowns. An inspired team of Destroyers entered the second half to cross the Bull Dog's goal line twice to gain a well earned tie. Those playing their last games for Dun- ellen were Captain Fiorey, Ed Block, and Wortli Henderson on the line, and Mike Macey, Charles Ostetnek, and Carl Luthman in the backfield. Although Dunellen's team was produced from light and inexperienced material this fall, prospects for the coming season are brighter, as twenty-six seasoned men will be returning to the squad. Coached by Knute Lloyd, the junior Varsity Footballers enjoyed a successful season, winning two games, losing two, and tieing one. The jayvees are important to the success of future teams, as this is the main source of material for the Varsity teams. 'lr Prrge SLYII'-Ilifll BA KETBALL TEAM Easter ,Sin i' XVHISN l.ooK1Nc5 BACK over the 19-10- -'il campaign of the Little Four Conference Champions, it is hard to hide the touch of Hpardonable pride in the heart of every Destroyer fan. But of which accomplishment is he most proud? ls he most proud of the manner in which the twelve varsity boys mastered, in a year's time, the system introduced by their new coach, Lewis Maratiieg mastered, in fact, to the tune of fifteen victories in nineteen starts? Does he point to the string of eight straight wins, starting with a 53 to 24 vic- tory over Metuchen and ended by an only four point loss to Roselle Park as the great- est accomplishment? Or was he most proud of the team that he sent to the State Tourna- ment, the team that reached the sectional finals hy overwhelming wins over Clinton and Chatham before a nine point loss to a great Cranford combine? Perhaps it was the hard fought 28 to Z5 defeat of Plainfield, the first court victory over that school in the history of the high school, that pleased him most. Certainly the six whirlwind victories in Little Four competition and the resulting trophy didn't displease him! Was this smug fellow proudest the night Mutt Plaskon shattered the scoring record of the school, tallying twenty-nine points? Was he proud- est when Stoop Robinson held Highland Park's heralded Boice without a field goal- or the time Tim Fisher won the second Highland Park contest by three successive field goals or Bill Lush's foul shot and field goal in the Scotch Plains game? Or was it the trouncing of North Plainheld after a previous loss by seven points? True, all these achievements vie closely for top honors in his estimation, but the one that he ad- mires most is the complete harmony between players and coach, and the fine degree of sportsmanship demonstrated by the Red and Blue at all times. Looking forward into the future, the Destroyer fan is not disheartened, as only three men, Robinson, Plaskon, and Crane, are graduating this year. Although we are losing a fine pivot man in Robinson, and a stellar forward in Plaskon, Dunellen's fu- ture team will be a strong one with Captain Tim Fisher, little Pete Saharko, Carroll Pierce, and Bill Lush showing promise, with able competitors for varsity berths coming up from the junior Varsity. it 2 fzlilft! SL'I'L'?Ifj' BA EBALL TEAM Artem 'A' THE DUNELLEN HIGH baseball team had a successful season last year by slugging their way to the Little Four Conference Title. Under the watchful eye of Coach Joe Sobel, the boys did themselves proud by de- cisively trouncing some tough opposition. One of the big guns in Dunellen's attack was big Al Hadeler. Al was the mainstay of the pitching staff, besides doing some nice stick work at the plate. Another veteran who did his share of pitching was Captain Chuck Weiner. The catching duties were shared by Bob Burton and Mike Macey. 'Ihese boys donned the mask and really did a man-sized job of backstopping. One of the toughest breaks that hit Dunellen was the shoulder injury suffered by Mutt Plaskon, dynamic shortstop. However, his place was aptly filled by Paul DiLonardo and Richie Mack. The rest of the infield consisted of diminutive Carl Luthman at the keystone sack, and Bill Fisher at the hot corner. Chuck Weiner spent most of the season at the initial sack, jack McGarrigle led the ball hawks with some great fielding and lots of fence bust- ing. Another star was Bob Estrin, who slapped the apple at a terrific pace all sea- son. Other fiy chasers were Paul Rabouin, Bill Lush, Eddie Culwick, john Pobicky and Evie Malcolm. As we go to press, this year's squad is just getting into the full swing of practice. Coach Sobel looks forward to another ban- ner year and has his eye on the Little Four Conference Title. He had Captain Bill Fisher pull a Walters by switching him from third to the mound, and he is count- ing on Carroll Pierce and Tony DiLonardo to do mound duty. Coach Sobel's biggest headache this spring was to find a good first sacker, and he has solved this problem by turning Mutt Plaskon loose on the initial sack. Dunellen has a tough schedule of twelve games ahead of them this year and we hope that they can go out and bring back another conference title, which, incidentally, will mean permanent possession of the trophy. 'A' ii Pzge Sezentg one ,il ' VL TENNIS TEAM as e,..,..ie.,,,. 'k Diiii 'ro A LACK of sufficient funds, Dunellen will not sponsor a tennis team this spring for the first time since 1937. We are especially saddened by the passing of tennis, as Coach George Barstow's net men needed just one more Conference Championship for permanent possession of the Little Four Trophy. In the four years of Destroyer tennis, Dunellen has had two undefeated seasons, and a string of twenty-seven consecutive victories, halted only by a loss to Westheltl. During this time the Barstow-men annexed the Little Four Conference Trophy twiceg and trophies for Central jersey Group II, North jersey Group II, climaxed last year by winning the State Championship for Group III. In the last three years Dunellen suffered but one defeat, that at the hands of Westheld, a team which we later de- feated in the State Tournament. Last year's team included Captain joe Wztlton, Don Markle, jim McLean, Roy Harris, Bob Eckert, and jim Monroe. The 1941 tennis cohorts were to have been led by the latter, Red Monroe, a promising junior. It is hoped that tennis will be re- sumed in Dunellen in the not too far dis- tant future, . .i11 'lr Page Se1'w1!j'-Iwo 4-f..,T APPARAT TEA Qfdngldfrgfa i' GRAIDLIATION took a large portion of last year's club, but Captain Ed Zupko, Bill Smith, Ed Horvath, Gordon Noble, Bim Law, Albert Petro, Louis Denkovic, and Harold Hodges remained as a nucleus for this year's group. It was strenuous work from the first, and many new recruits ' ht after school worked diligently each nig ' ' ' efforts toward the annual directing their assembly program. This groups continuous work started in Physical Education classes, and this work is developed to the point where each boy de- rives high physical satisfaction and feels the quality of his work is worthy of public ex- l hibrtion. The members of the club are deep y ap- preciative of the time and effort put forth by Mr. johnson in teaching them how to build themselves into better physical beings.

If this ancient adage were applied to the G.A.A., we would have a bevy of beau- ties, for G.A.A.'s accomplishments have been numerous and noteworthy. The soccer tournaments formed a htting kick off to an athletic year, and next, the club passed into a successful basketball season with all participants clasping hands in a lasting spirit of good fellowship. They scored their first goal with their jolly Scavenger Hunt, and followed it up by another conversion in the form of a gala Christmas party. As the basketball season gained momen- tum, County Play Day was ushered in and followed up by several other zestful sports meets.

CAcTus, TEXAS, january 1r1, 1941-A mighty Destroyer team led by rugged Angelo Irish today defeated the power- ful Silo Tech team in the annual Finger Bowl classic, 75-0. It was a close and exciting game up until the last few minutes of play, when flashy Mace Mi- tally chael made his bid. At that point the score was 66-0. Then Mace took a re- verse from Bill Von Shuflleboard and went ninety-three yards for the final and to sew up the ball game. Then Fat Hamburger dropped back from his position at right tackle to kick a perfect extra point and make it 75. Playing stellar games for the Red and Blue were Block Head and Worth Less on the line, and Dynamite Ostenik in the backheld. IJESTRUYERS WHIP I.U.U. New Yoruc, March 4119, 1941 - Dunellen's Mighty quintette today de- feated I. O. U. University's basketball team in famous Madison Square Gar- den, 41-35. Paced by Capt. Mutt Dog, the Destroyers proved too strong. jim Stoop and Tim Sun Fish worked miracles under the basket while George Derrick and Pete Sparko performed in the back-court. Dunellen's offensive centered around jim Stoop, who fired passes with amaz- CRAP-BO0K ing accuracy to both Dog and Fish from the bucket position. This win gave Dunellen undisputed supremacy in the Big 25 League. IJ.H.S. SHUTS UUT THE HANKEES Sept. 17, 1940 - Playing before 90,000 people in Hankee Stadium in the final of a three-game series, a slug- ging, high-powered ball team from Dunellen shut out the former world champions, the New York Hankees, 1-0. Going into the ninth inning, it was nip and tuck, with neither team getting a man past second, when Tim Sun Fish hit a sharp bounder through short for a single. Mace Michael brought the crowd to their feet with a line drive'into center held, but joe Blow, using a shoe-string catch, saved the day for the Hankees. Capt. Mutt Dog bunted down the third base line to push Tim on to second. Paul Pons, the next batter, drew a walk, which made it two out and a man on first and second. A wild pitch put Tim on third and Pons on second. Carl Looseman, the dynamic second baseman, con- nected with a floater and put it against the left field wall. Tim scored easily, but in a close play at home Pons was put out. Playing heads-up ball in the last half, the D. H. team clinched the game and the series.
