1951 1952 At Last-MIGHTY SENIORS, now the officers and crew of this mighty ship. Busy at first assuming our new roles with dignity, we soon settled down to work. The football season got under way. ln spite of a rousing bonfire rally at Upsala Fieldg the Thanksgiving game victory went to Barringer. The Social Committee presented two dances this fall: the first was the Kartoon Kapers. The second was the Syllabus Swing, with all the profits going towards the deficit on the Syllabus. There is no need to say that it was a huge success. Students flocked to hear the sweet music of Mike Castoro and his band, who generously offered their services for the night. The week before Christmas was marked with several events. Mr. Iones' Glee Clubs and Choirs gave their usual sterling performances, and on the last day before the Christmas vacation, Santa Claus Cwho strangely resembled Mr. Robinsonl visited several classrooms at East Orange High, carrying with him a huge white pack, and greeted everyone with a hearty Merry Christmas. After the Iunior Prom, Evening in Paris, the days slipped past very quickly. We seniors were becoming more and more aware that graduation was just around the corner. The senior class officers, Rudy Keller, Neal Anderson, Ioan Skinner, and Eileen Boyd did a good job this year. The Grad Dance, a scene of under- water paradise called Neptune's Nocturne, was a never-to-be-forgotten affair. As all seniors joined in a grand march around the gym and passed under the , huge garland of roses in the form of a horseshoe, we said farewell to East Orange High-happy to graduate but sorry to leave. fi IN MEMQRIAM Richard Iohnson 'lt was with great shock and sorrow tnat we learned of the death of Richard Iohnson follow- ing a bicycle accident on April 25, 1950. Dur- ing his freshman and sophomore years here he won many friends with his friendly smile and cheerful disposition. His death was a great loss to his friends here in East Orange High School.

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.
