Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1957 volume:

Athena Published by Senior Class of THE ESSEX COUNTY VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL 300 North Thirteenth Street Newark, New Jersey СА From seed to bouguet, this is the story of four flowering years. During this time, the elements of guidance and study, patience and care, produced intelligent growth and provided us with a plan for our future. In 1953, as shy and timid seedlings, we were scattered about in new surroundings. How bewildering it was to be confronted with a cafeteria line that seemed to have no end. How perplexing a combination lock could be. The seedlings found adjusting a little difficult; but soon roots began to take hold, and at the Hallowe'en Dance Freshmen, Freshmen, and more Freshmen appeared in gay profusion. Then, in the Sophomore year we were transplanted into the rich and fertile gardens of our chosen careers. As buds, full of freshness and vigor, we started to unfold as beauticians, technical secretaries, comptometer operators, bookkeepers, typists, artists, dressmakers, and dieticians. ( Pfund -LjJears é t The buds blossomed forth in the Junior year. Full growth was approached and skills were acquired. But it wasn’t all work—we had opportunity for fun, too. The glamour of the Junior Prom took on a sophisticated air with its “Paris Accent.” The Student Council election, with its buttons, skits, laughs, and rooting, was full of excitement. However, the season soon came to an end, and we were ready to be put into the Senior Bouquet. Thus, the Class of 1957 spent the year being arranged for display in June. Yes, life at Essex High was over, but this Bouquet would not wither and die; we would continue to flower as we entered the business world. Perennials GEORGE W. MORGENROTH PHILIP H.

RICHARDSON Principal The Senior Bouguet of 1957 has reached full bloom only because of your untiring efforts in nurturing our growth during the past four years. Your continual encouragement has given us the necessary confidence to develop into well-adjusted personalities, both academically and socially. Your constant desire to maintain high standards throughout our school activities will enable us to assume the responsibility for a more meaningful life as we pursue our future. Page Five Transplanter Page Six ELIZABETH R. DUNHAM Guidance Counselor One of the most important decisions that faced us as we entered our sophomore year was choosing a suitable career. Many times during these three years, when our roots were forming, we were grateful for your assistance in solving our personal as well as our school problems. As a result of your guidance and advice, we were transplanted into our future life's work. Especially for You — An Orchid � T a vi 4 vw V GEORGIA L. NORTON Typewriting — Medical Stenography No other flower is more prized than this orchid which we reserved for you. We are proud to dedicate this year's Athena to a teacher who has devoted her time and effort to the education of young women. The rhythmic clicking of the typewriters coming from Room 217 signifies girls hard at work. These students have learned to master the skill of typing and to value the importance of maintaining high standards while under your skillful and intelligent teaching. Not only have you helped train girls in the business trades but also adults in medical stenography, where you have imparted your knowledge and have afforded post- graduates an opportunity to become medical secretaries. May we express our gratitude and appreciation for your constant interest in us, and we hope that your future years will be most rewarding. Page Seven Overseers VIOLA APPLEGATE INEZ E.

Our eighth annual “Queen of Hearts Dance” was held on Friday, February 15, and was sponsored by the Student Council. The Valentine decora- tions in the gym were done by Mrs. De Marco's beauty culture classes, Antoinette Chieppa was chosen by popular vote to reign as Queen. Her beauty and citizen- ship qualities made her eligible for this honor. She received her crown before approximately five hundred students and friends from the President of the Student Council, Barbarann Fabiano. Assisting the Queen were six beautiful attend- ants—all of whom had been contestants in the election. Antoinette Chieppa comes forward to receive her crown. The big moment arrives—Barbarann Fabi- ano places the crown on the new Queen. The Queen and her court.

Red-checkered table cloths—bright awnings—a glittering Eiffel Tower —and twinkling stars set the scene for our big night. The gym had been transformed into a true Parisian sidewalk cafe. We all entered into the gaiety of an Evening in Paris. Our bouffant gowns and formal coiffures gave us an air of sophistication, which we have never experienced before. Our escorts were most attentive and never looked more handsome. Our Junior Prom was due to the efforts of Miss Reilly and the Junior girls on the decorating committee; Mrs. Luckert, who handled all the financial problems; and the girls who took D in addressing the formal invitations. Several members as well as Seniors came as guests of the Junior Class and helped make the evening a huge success. of our facu Carolyn, Jane, Mary, and Barbara witb escorts. Asa Seed Grows So DoesaDream... On the night of October 24, 1956, a dream became a reality when an organ was dedicated to Miss Clara Н, Krauter, the former Principal of our school, and accepted by the Essex County Board of Education. For many years Miss Krauter waged a campaign to obtain the needed funds for such an organ. Though it took several years to raise the money, her fondest hopes were finally realized. The bronze plaque, which was permanently affixed to the organ, bears the following inscription: “Whose wisdom, foresight, and effort have made this school an outstanding example of progress in vocational and technical edu- cation for women.” It will serve as a reminder for all times of Miss Krauter’s interest and loyalty to us. yeni Miss Clara е.

AND DINNER IN THE DINER Page Forty-nine Page Fifty å ŞAR, United Nations Visit Our first glimpse of the U.N. was the panorama of its multi-colored flags that seemed to be waving towards us in anticipation of our arrival. We had but a moment to glance at the magnificence of the main lobby as we entered the General Assembly, where we were to attend the Atomic Energy Meeting. At this time we had the privilege of watching the dele- gates stand to adopt the “Atomic Energy Peace Plan, which some day will go down in History. At 11:30 lunch was served to us in the fabulous Delegates’ Dining Room, which was enclosed by giant picture windows that provided a beautiful view of the East River. The menu included various dishes that were specialties of foreign lands. The majority of us chose Arroz Con Pollo Portugaise. It was delicious! Our afternoon was spent in listening to a lecture on the functions of the U.N. and in taking the guided tour through the Secretariat Building. Several of us found a few spare minutes to purchase souvenirs at the gift shops. With an entirely new vision of the U.N. in our thoughts and a feeling of great security in our hearts, we started our trip homeward. All of us realized that this day had been a most inspirational experience. The United Nations Speak As United Nations we fiğht The élobe and the olive branches And undivided we stand, Are a symbol for all to share. Against all evil intentions May those who see this emblem To mar or destroy our lands. Utter this fervent prayer. Free nations we are called Oh God! give us strength as the years бо by And this we aim to be. To protect our people from hunger and woe.

Driver Education It is during the Junior and Senior years that the girls learn to drive. In the classroom they learn the fundamentals of how and why a car functions. This theory is then applied when they become eligible for behind the wheel driving.” Under the expert guidance of our driving instructor, Mr. Stanziale, the girls soon learn to relax and gain confidence. Because of this training and excellent safe driving record, we were presented this year with the Citation Award from the Automobile Association of America.

Glee Club Under the skillful direction of Miss Inez Bull, the Juniors and Seniors become elements of vocal sound. They are requested to perform on many occasions, such as Parent's Night, Open House, holiday assemblies, and at several outside affairs and benefits, which are held in the community's hospitals and churches. Our organ, which is a new acquisition, accompanied the choral group during the Christmas program, “Born in a Manger. This beautiful assembly proved to be one of the highlights of our school year. INEZ BULL Music-Organist Page Eighty-one Bookworms The Bookworms, under the guidance of Miss Wood, perform the many jobs that keep the library running smoothly. Because of the services rendered by this club, our school library is open from 8:15 in the morn- ing until 4:00 in the afternoon including the lunch period. A prospective member must write a letter of appli- cation expressing her desire to become a Bookworm. She then attends a series of classes where she is taught the many services of the library. Upon completion of this training, she is given a test. Her test grades, at- tendance during library instruction periods, and the rating of her letter are factors considered before she is chosen as a member. The membership of this club is increasing consider- ably due to its many special activities such as partici- pation in the Teen Corner Council of the Newark ETHEL Woop Public Library, membership in the New Jersey School Librarian Library Council Association, and the sponsoring of guest speakers for assemblies—the most recent speaker being Mrs. Phyllis Whitney. Several parties are held throughout the year and an annual award is given to the senior who was most ac- tive during her last year in the club. Meetings are scheduled once every three weeks, and at that time both entertaining and educational programs are given.

This group listens to suggestions brought to them by the different repre- sentatives; they discuss the merits of these suggestions; and, if they are beneficial to all and serve a good purpose, they are passed by the governing body. We are particularly proud of the democratic manner in which our council func- tions. All elections are by secret ballot. The responsibility for the success of all dances is assumed by the committees. Participation in all recreational facilities by the students during the school day is under the supervision of committee chair- men, usually the school officers. AUDITORIUM: Five minutes before every assembly the ushers are excused to take their posts, hand out programs, and assist in seating the student body. CAFETERIA: Each girl wears a badge and is assigned to a particular location in the lunch room, where she sees that the lines move smoothly. HOUSEKEEPING: This committee is responsible for checking all corridors, locker rooms, and girls' rooms for cleanliness and orderliness. PUBLICITY: A newsletter published by this group informs the students of all activities and dances, which are being sponsored by the Council during the school year. RECREATION: These girls supervise all noon-time activities and are respon- sible for playing records in the gym and distributing games in the recreation room. SAFETY: The committee is stationed on stairways, in halls, and in locker rooms to check running and to curb accidents. WELFARE: Whenever students or teachers are absent for three days or more, an appropriate card is sent by this committee on behalf of the school.

Basketball Team One of the most popular activities in our gym class this year has been basketball. All girls are invited to come out on Tuesday afternoons to practice. At this time, they are taught the fundamentals of the game and then during the second semester those girls who have become proficient will select their teams and enjoy tournament play-offs.

The editorial staff exercised their imagination and came up with a theme that was pictorially developed throughout the book by the art students. Every written word set on paper by our typists was given much thought and consideration, The finan- cial undertaking, which begins in October and lasts through June, was abiy handled and administered by the business staff.
