emoriec Enriched by knowledge gained, we follow worldly trails Of rocky roads to pots of gold And N ature's truths untold. Eager, young, we feel ambition jill our sails. We've learned, we've played, we've filled our open 1ninds With deeds of men of other years And tales of students in our ears. Working, praying, we have learned of midnight grinds. 'Though busy years may dim our recollection Of junior Proms and football cheers And old examination fears, We'll long recall our pals and friends, and teachers' wise directions Some pals shine down from golden stars, Who early met Almighty God When battlefields they trod, Lighting us to worldly truths outside those heavenly bars. Others will rise to take our places at the desks, carved, well-worn, To read our books and break some rule, To write the NEWS and run the school. We wish them happiness and success in a world untorn. We will not say Goodbye to classroom, teacher, friend, But just S,long, to meet again As wise, experienced women and men Whose East Orange High School ties will never end. M B

We had a change of gov- ernment understhe supervision of Al Arkett. A new constitution was drawn up to give the students more representation in all affairs. We missed the Christmas Concert this year, but the operetta, The Gondoliers, and its success made up for it. The G. O. also sponsored a dance and was it fun! In the Spring, Liliom,' was presented by the speech department. Many of us took part in it both on stage and behind the scenes. Deciding to give the Navy our support that year, we purchased a Navy Hellcat, naming it the Sea Panther. The reins of the football team were taken by Mr. Sam Sezak, who brought the Tv formation to East Orange High. The Panthers presented a record of three wins, five losses, and one tie. In the Turkey Day game, we met for our forty- eighth annual tussle. Barringer came out on top giving them the trophy. Although the '44 season was not so fruitful as in previous years, it was felt by all that Mr. Sezak and the part of the team that was left after graduation would go on to a better season the next year. Griff's high flying basketball quintet turned out an impressive record that year, winning twelve games and losing three. Once again we lost the opening game of the State Tournament- this time to Weequahic. Then came Spring and our very own Junior Prom with all the trimmings reminding us that our senior year was just around the corner. .gznior -Maur President ....., .. ..., .. ..,... ..,, A LPHEUS NORMAN Vice-President ,,,., . ,......

After an exciting summer, we settled down to our last year of high school in a peaceful world. lt was a marvelous feeling! This year's G. O. officers were our own Jimmy Muir, Presi- dent, Pat Hyland, Vice-President, and Rita Howard, Secretary. The operetta this year was better than ever, and the speech department outdid itself with two hit plays, The Cat and the Canaryu and The Devil's Disciple, both thrillers. Another huge success was the G. O. Carnival staged in the gymnasium and the auditorium. Again we experienced the usual exciting football season, and welcomed back the coach of our freshman year, Mr. George Shotwell, at its close. Although Mr. Sezak was still head coach Mr. Shotwell,s presence was felt throughout the stadium. The Barringer game, more accu- rately called a mud-pie party, was a disappoint- ment to the E. O. rootersg Barringer won, 25-14. Gur basketball team was again put through its paces by the capable Griff. Soon the Junior Prom and the long-awaited Senior Hop had our full attention. Caps and gowns and graduation and our final farewell to E. O. H. S., after four years we shall never forget -we waited for vacations, feared report cards, but we would do it all over again. 7
