l948-1949 WIDE-EYED AND IMPRESSIONABLE ERESHMEN, we embarked on our iour- ney through East Orange High School by receiving through the orientation program a glimpse of our future Alma Mater. After the New Student Party, our first social event, we felt more at home. ln the fall we watched the big Panthers complete a victorious football season by triumphing over Barringer, 27-7. The girls celebrated leap year in real Dogpatch style as they asked the boys to the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. Christmas ushered in, along with many festive club parties, the annual Christmas Concert and the caroling in the hospitals. This, our first year, introduced Youthopia, our own canteen, which has proved very successful. The Iunior Prom, with Bud Laird playing in a Mexican setting, was the first dance of the new year. Presented by the dramatics department, Remember the Day became a hit production. In March students supported the Red Cross benefit basketball game and dance. As Iune days approached, we began to anticipate the Rye Beach Cruise which meant fun and frolic galore. What a year! l949-l95O HETURNING AS BIG SOPHOMORES, we greeted our new classmates from V.L.D. The Pigskin Hop, in honor of the football team, opened the social sea- son. Once again we triumphed in the Turkey Day Tussle, beating Barringer 24-13. Presented earlier this year, the hilarious production, The Man Who Came to Dinner, proved to be a side-splitting affair. The theme for the Iunior Prom was a Winter Wonderland. The beautiful tinsel-covered chandelier brought forth many ohs and ahs from the crowd that attended. Before we knew it, spring had rolled around. Amid preparations for final exams, we began to look eagerly forward to the Rye Beach trip. The Grad Dance, featuring the music of Bud Laird and framed in the setting Backstage at the Opera, was a fitting end to the school year. l95O-l95l FEELING THE WEIGHT OE OUR POSITION as upperclassrnen, we got once more into the swing of things. In rags and patches we attended the Hobo Hop, the fall dance. When Barringer finished victorious on Thanksgiving Day, the Old Guard Trophy departed from our halls for the first time in four years. Night Must Fall chilled and thrilled an enraptured audience. At Christmas time the traditional candlelight procession at the Christmas Concert lent an added beauty to the program. After a vacation that flew by, we returned to cram for mid-years. A pleasant change after all our sweat and toil was the Iunior Prom, the Sweethearts' Ball, with the music of Rick Richards. Spring- time came, bringing with it G.O. elections. At the end of a hotly waged cam- paign, Ered Bacher, Ioe DeKasar, and Ioan Engle emerged victorious. Gerry Hall was appointed treasurer. We bade our final farewell to the seniors at the junior-senior assembly, paying them tribute at the end of the program by standing as they filed out of the auditorium.
