-3l 67JAl77,Lll'Z RCU' f On a rainy day in September, the portals of East Orange High School were opened to a group of eager Freshmen-a little shy and very green. We, just like the classes of Freshmen before us, were the victims of all the tricks- the fourth floor elevator, the lunchroom passes, and the footprints on the ceiling. It took us a while to get used to E. O. H. S., but we managed even if it was the hard way. The Red and Blue Varieties were some- thing we shall always remember. Our first Christmas Concert under the supervision of Mr. Herald A. Jones with all the glee clubs was more than beautiful, and the speech department, not to be outdone, presented an amusing portrayal of I'll Leave It To You. Our light and fast Red and Blue football team came through to victory that year. Shall we ever forget the Montclair and Columbia games?-both teams were previously undefeated, but the Panthers triumphed. In the forty-sixth Turkey Day Tournament with our age-old rival, Barringer, we came up with a tie. Because of this tie, E. O. came through as co-champion for the state title. This was also a good year for Griff's basket- ball team. Participating in the State Tourna- ment, we were subdued, but only after an over- time game. And so ended our Freshman year, with everyone looking forward to our sophomore year to try the traditional pranks on the poor incom- ing freshmen.

PHYLLIS FREEMAN Representatives RiTA Howmm, ELEANOR KINGSTON ir Well, what do you know? Before we knew it, we were sophomores! We really thought we were something when we chose our own class officers. The Red Cross Dance, given to raise funds, was a big success. Everyone had a wonderful time! This year,s Christmas Concert was enjoyed as usual, and the musical show, Hansel and Gretel, was a real hit. Remember how excited and anxious we were while collecting funds for the Flying Panthern? The speech department's production, junior Miss, was presented later on the same year. The members of our class seemed to dominate the cast. Dottie Wydner enacted a very convincing Judy, with Glennis Fahringer as her mother and Sam Cavallero as HJ B ,, That year we ended our football season with six losses, two ties, and one victory. But that one victory was enough for us, because it was over Barringer, a big triumph of 32-2. It netted us the Old-Timerv trophy donated by former members of East Orange and Barringer teams. In basketball we had an unusual team. Remember when we couldn,t get in at Weequahic and stood on ash cans to see? That was school spirit. We entered the State Tournament again, but this time lost to Central. Summer vacation came soon, and everyone was off to the beach or the mountains or- summer school and work.
