Then it is that he takes unto himself his venerable ac- cordion, and opens wide his mouth. The sounds which proceed from both instruments could be called neither beautiful nor harmonious. But they are in Italian, and they are loud. IW T 333 Chestnut Street, Hackensack :A as xx cc cc 44 EDWARD APANEL Ap 420 Chestnut Street, Lodi Aclivilier-Soccer, 4. The blonde young pitcher.

Evie, whose favorite pastime is cutting study, is one of those blondes that gentlemen prefer. She's a great favorite at school, but Maryland is her preference. CAROLYN BARTELUCE Carrie 32 Warren Street, Hackensack Avtizfitief-103 President, 1, 103 Vice President, 2, Pinafore , 1, Student Council, 2, Glee Club, 1-2-4, Building Patrol, 3, Proctor, 4, Surgical Dressings, 4, Little Stage Club, 4, Critic Staff, 4.

ALICE BASSETT D0!lyl' 70 Anderson Street, Hackensack Aclivitief-George Washington High School, New York, 1, Bogota High, 1, Teaneck High, 2-3, Glee Club, 4, 102 Vice President, 4. Alice is quiet, very quiet, too quiet, fin classj but it is not always the loudspeaker that draws attention. Alice may not recite often in class, but when she does, her recitations contain sound reasoning and deep thought.

Here's a perfect gentleman with a very interesting sense of humor. He is a boy who has a will and a way, backed up with an intelligent train of thoughts and he speaks exceptionally well. FRED BEECHLER Dutch Oradell Artizfizfief-Social Committee, 1, Building Patrol, 2-3. Fred Beechler, the fellow from Oradell, has a technique for Math and Science. He always has a big smile that is different from all others because it radiates him and it is sun-burned and sun-baked. When he is not work- ing at school, he is working at something else and I think his greatest hobby is repairing autos. l MARIE BEHNKE Bene Spring Valley Road, Paramus Activilief-Proctor, 3, Secretary of Home Room, 4. A sweet demure little lass from Paramus is Marie. She is quiet and never makes an unecessary noise. She is an ambitious student and always does her work well and always is prompt.

ELIZABETH BENDER Libby 50 Anderson Street, Hackensack Aftivitief-Proctor, 4, Treasurer of 213, 4, Watch Your Step, 4, Comet Staff, 4. Libby! Petite, vivacious, ambitious and a grand sense of humor! But we must confess, her hobby is pickles-big, Juicy, sour ones. 1932 M f v ff 44 ff THE COMET LOUISE BERG Wheiza 49 Davis Avenue, Hackensack Arlivitief-Orchestra, 1-2, Band, 1-2, Glee Club, 1-2, Student Council, 1-2.

EVELYN BOGENBERGER Ev 925 Main Street, Hackensack Aftivitier-Secretary and Treasurer of Home Room, 1, Editor of The Bulletin, 4, Cabinet, 4, Building Patrol, 4, Critic Staff, 4, Comet Staff, 4.

DOROTHY BOGERT 226 River Street, Hackensack Activities-Surgical Dressings, 1, Band, 1-4, 204 Secre- tary, 2-4, Student Council, 3. Have you ever noticed this girl-well groomed and al- ways doing lots of work? Those who do not know Dot are missing something. She has an interesting person- ality which attracts both girls and boys. WILLIAM BOUTON Bill 312 Anderson Street, Hackensack Activitief-Track, 1-4, Glee Club, 1, Proctor, 2-3, The Critic, 3, 215 President, 3, Primary Court, 4, Honor Society, 4.

DAVID BRESLOW Slmilz 8 Prospect Avenue, Hackensack Activitier-Glee Club, 1-3, Field Patrol, 1, The Critic, 2-3, Proctor, 4. Do you know Schnitz ? He's a great favorite around school. I'm positive that certain classes just couldn't carry on if it weren't for Davie's quips. He is good- natured, humorous and smart-a combination worthy of anyone. LOUISE BRINKERHOFF Bri1zkie 583 Hudson Street, Hackensack Activities-Proctor, 3-4, Glee Club, 3, Girls' Soccor, 4, Basketball, 4, Building Patrol, 4, Volley Ball, 4. Louise is a witty, talented and lovable girl. Her soci- ability and interesting conversation have won her many friends. If you want something done, and in the right way, just call on Louise. Wherever there is action, there is Louise, she is wide-awake and alert. gl fli'WZ!l ff Page Fifteen rr xx xx 44 44 4 19 Page ,Sixteen AGNES B. BROWN 64 Prospect Avenue, Hackensack Artivitier-Proctor, 35 The Comet, 4. Aggie is one cute little girl. M-m-m-m, those chubby cheeks! She's clever too.

S.! If Warren keeps at it, he will be the leading actor on Broadway and with his beautiful deep bass voice will be a hero of the talkies. JOHN BUKOWSKI Young Legs 463 Hudson Street, Hackensack Activitierw-Football, 3-4. This boy isn't blushing. His cheeks are naturally that way. One doesn't see John madly tearing his way through the corridors to make a class on time. He's sitting there when the buzzer rings. Neither does one turn around to find John is the one who is wildly pound- ing one on the back. HERMAN BUNJE Cy 66 Lenox Avenue, Maywood Aclivitier-Glee Club, 1-3, Building Patrol, 2, Football, 2-3, Track, 2, Proctor, 2-4, Lunchroom Patrol, 3.

We don't know Herm's ambitions but we do know he ys be socially popular. L BUSH Brother Bush 45 Rochelle Avenue, Rochelle Park Actzzfitier-Glee Club, 1-4, Field Patrol, 3-4, Proctor, 3. A great, big playful boy, describes Bill perfectly. Besides being blessed with a dry sense of hu- mor, Bill also has another quality. As long as we've known him, we never heard him talk about anyone be- hind his back. Good luck to you, Bill. CARVER BUTLER Skinny 915 Willow Avenue, River Edge Arlivitier-Orchestra, 1-2, 204 Vice President, 1-2, 204 President, 3, Proctor 3. The real Skinnyl' comes to light only after a long time.

MARGARET BUXTON Marg 18 Dietrichs Street, Little Ferry Modesty is this maiden's charm. Under this cloak of shyness, she hides many fine qualities.

LOUISE CARDINEAU W'eeze Park Avenue, North Hackensack Actizfizfief-Glee Club, 1, Proctor, 1-2-3-4, Building Patrol, 1-2. Louise is the type of girl H. H. S. can be proud of. She is an edicient worker and does everything in the right way at the right time. Louise, like her brother, is always well-groomed. We just know Louise will succeed after she leaves H. H. S.

Ferdinand, alias The Duke, is a cheerful chap with mischief up his sleeve. Pleasant company is assured when with Ferdinand. REGINA CAUWELS Riff Paramus Road, Paramus In school she appears to be silent and bashfulfreserved. She takes an interest in her work.

JOHN CONNELLY One Eye 39 jefferson Street, Hackensack The small boy who really can make himself heard if he wants to. One thing is a mystery.

'iW'hat a marvelous actress! gasped the audience. Well, friends, that was our fellow student, Louise. She is al- ways doing her part willingly and, when things become too difhcult, she stays at them until they are accom- plished. JOHN COSTA Ar:l9imedeJ ' 75 Main Street, Hackensack Ariivilier-Band, 4. Pluvius, with his forehead wrinkled in deep thought and his whole mind concentrated on the problem at hand, is an ideal subject for a talk on The Interested Scholar! But this real ability is masked under a thick coating of shyness which it is dificult to penetrate. EDITH COVALS Skeezix 433 Essex Street, Hackensack Actizftier-Proctor, 3-4. Edith Covals is a very ambitious and studious girl. She is always striving for high marks. Whenever I see her, she is either doing homework or hurrying about to take part in extra school activities. Edith is good natured and is always ready to take part in any bit of humor, but she is always serious when doing her school work. ALFRED D'AUGUSTINO 72 Hobart Street, Hackensack Acli1-'ities-Home Room Secretary and Treasurer, 4. SHELDON DAVIS, JR.

Wasnlt he the Captain of the North Hackensack Trojans,' and a mem- ber of our own baseball team? What is this power he holds over women? He is quite a popular person in and around North Hackensack, where the mere mention of his name sets girls' hearts aflutter. H. WEBSTER DAVISON Webf' 66 Ross Avenue, Hackensack Aczfivitier-Glee Club, 1, Track 1-4, Glee Club, 1, Band, 3-43 Watch Your Step, 4. His cheery, flashing smile almost makes it a pleasure to be short-changed by him. His infectious humor makes him a welcome member of any group. THE COMET W S K i I s v n !

AIMEE DELETRAZ Kiki 175 Prospect Avenue, Hackensack Aftivilief-307 Secretary, 1, Glee Club, 1, The Criticf' 1, 307 Treasurer, 2, Little Stage Club, 204, 307 Vice- President, 4, Honor Society, 3-4.

RUTH DES JARDINS V 7 Becker Avenue, Rochelle Park Aciizfitief-Glee Club, 2-4, The Criticl' staff, 4, 212 Treasurer, 4, Library Council, 4. Ruth is not so quiet as you might suspect, for she surely can run off the wise-cracks. They say minister's daugh- ters are not angels and certainly Ruth has a long record of fun under that quiet air. KATHERINE DESTEFANO Kay 63 Clinton Place, Hackensack Actizzitief-Library'Council, 3. Katherine is one of the most amiable girls anyone would want to meet. Katherine is very quiet, but when one breaks through that outer shell one finds a very gay person. Kay', always has a smile and a gay Hello for her friends, who are chosen well.

In September of 1928 we saw Mike on the first team of varsity soccer and we were looking to see him captain of the team in 1931, but it happened that no captain was chosen this year. He is very conscientious with his subjects, especially with Spanish. PATSY DIZENZO Pal 35 Hudson Street, Hackensack Arlizfilief-Proctor, 2-4, Class Secretary and Treasurer, 4, Senior Business Board, 4, Baseball, 1-4, Football, 1-4, Captain, 4, Honor Society, 3-4. Patsy has made an enviable record in sports. In school work and extra class activities, he has maintained a stand- ard of work that is well above the average. Only one person laughs at Patsyls jokes, however. He is Patsy. But jokes aren't everything in life, EDWARD DRESHER 1lI0yer 269 Passaic Street, Hackensack Activitier-Field Patrol, 1-4, Baseball, 2-3, Football, 3, His continual attitude of Ugood-fellow-well-metl' has made him the friend of all who have encountered him. Bluff, congenial, loud-voiced are the elements most often met in Eddie.

We all know Marianne, our red-headed athlete. But really, students, Rusty is a good wholesome, genuine friend. FRANKLIN DUNHAM Pa1zcho ' 64 Prospect Avenue, Hackensack Activitief-4Band, 1-3, The Critics, 2. Franklyn is the studious type. But all his studying is not in vain, for everyone knows how good he is in math- ematics and those really brainy subjects. RUTH DUNSTAN Ruthie 27 Ward Street, Hackensack Activities-Primary Court, 4, 'lWatch Your Step, 4. Have you ever seen a well-dressed little girl going around with her head in the air?

Yet always will one common tie, One bond of tender memory Unite us as the years pass by And bring us close, though far we be. For these four years we've climbed ahead, Upward, onward, climbing still, Following the ones who led Up the path to Half-way Hill. Here, we've stopped, mid-way between, A respite ere we journey hence, A chance to view the nearby scene, To choose our path, which leads us-whence? For we are at the cross roads here. In what direction shall you go, And shall you travel far or near- Which road, the high, the middle, low? Take you the one around the hill Which circles 'round and leads nowhere? An easy, endless road, but still Too many people now are there. Several downward paths there are Wfhich have their end in nothingness, From which we've risen, four years, thus far. They, too, are easy, effortless. Take you one of these? Down there It's far too crowded now with those Who had no goal, no will to dare, .Wfho envied not the ones who rose. T Or shall you take the upper way, A steep path, full of toil and care, Which slowly leads one, day by day, Up to the top, the summit, where There's room and joy for everyone, A place to rest in well-earned ease, A place of laughter, sunshine, peace? Three roads, which one take you-which one?

H. S. Many of us had difficulty in persuading our nurses not to accompany us, but we soon wished we had them to take us home. Seated in the great assembly hall, we were pale and trem- bling at the sight of a teacher and the How Cutel' of the seniors. Others, a little bolder, wandered thru the halls with awe struck faces. Within a day or so, we filled the building with childish prattle and subdued laughter. Then came the first assembly, and what a thrill we felt when a thousand strong sang the Alma Materll' Monsieur Beaucairef' the presentation of the senior class, Pinafore, the splendid operetta of the music department, and the Whole Townls Talking, the popular success of the Dramatic Society, were the dramatic events of the year. The year 1928 was a most successful athletic season with laurels won in track, basketball, and tennis. The high degree of cooperation with which we carried off the Crowell subscription campaign earn- ed us the widespread reputation of being unexcelled in the United States as supersalesmen. During the first year we were somewhat cosmopolitan, but after summer vacation we were thoroughly sophisticated, students called us sophsf' Never- theless, the seniors were still having senior plays. They gave If I Were King and the dramatic club staged The Thirteenth Chair. In spite of these nifty events, we were very much absorbed in ourselves. Most of us were laken down a peg or two by Chemistry or Physics in our junior year, but it was not difficult for us to formulate our ideas of Second Childhood, the senior play for 1931. And what a riot when we saw George Cella and Bob Smith in The First Dress Suitul Twenty-three of our class members were admitted to the Honor Society last year, a remarkably large number. We shall always be proud of this record. Now we are seniors. As seniors, we realize that things are expected of us. Our efforts are directed towards proctoring, athletics, Honor Society and participation in our school government. Ben jesser and Michael Espo- sito have successfully led us in our student organization, while Frank Mc- Entee, president of the class of 52 , has shown excellent executive ability in managing us Hfractious seniorsfl Watch Your Step, a novel melodrama, was presented by some of our accomplished thespians. Cooperation, the keynote of Hackensack High School, was portrayed to its fullest extent dur- ing the transitional period when our time schedule was changed and when we were arranged in home rooms according to our classification. The time has come for the seniors of 32 to say farewell to Hackensack High School. We wish, before we go, to give tribute to the teachers who have prepared us for the future. Many of us are at the beginning of our careers, many are preparing for a higher education. We remember, however, that we obtained our foundation and our incentive to higher achievements from H- H- 5- HARRIET FORREST KATHERINE FRAMBACH Page Frfty-six 1932 bf D ff THE COMET Class Prophecy 61-5,919 AR away from these portals of Knowledge lies the mystic land GJ' gay? nestles a wee cottage the white with green shutters kind that in- Wi '41 vites you to come in So wondrous are its surroundings that it seems to be a secret shrine in the midst of a green cathedral of Nature, whose fern-fringed aisles are Hecked with sunlight which glances through the arch- way of trees above. Near our cottage is a dashing little stream that, in the sunlight, glistens like so many diamonds, and at twilight, hides deep in its frequent pools the deep colors of the sunset. To the rear of the cottage is a magical garden, whose flowers are of the most delicate hues, and not far in the distance, are billowy hills stretching in limitless waves against the horizon. It is here in this perfect spot that secrets are told, the veil that has hidden the years is lifted and we see the future of this, our Today. And so, we have an understanding with the hills. When the wind rushes on in the night, it fills their great hollows with echoes that resound across the moonlit spaces, and brings us prophesies. Voices tell us that joe Metzkier, the famous aviator, was appointed the official artist of the United States. Among his famous portraits is that of his favorite-Charles Lindbergh. In the world of Learn- ing, we find that john Costa is one of the best-known authorities on psychology, and Gilda Bellabarba, a Spanish teacher. jane Butler is a short-story writer, Louise Des jardins a playwright critic, Evelyn Swift, the favorite American oet. P Early on a brand-new morning in the flower-month of May, we slip out into the fantastic garden and watch the dew cast its pearly spell on every leaf and petal, it is only then that the flowers whisper their secret messages to the morning fragrance. First we observe the pansy, its dark face reflecting alternating moods-one of which is of purple graveness and timidity. A book appears, written by Barbara Wood on What I Know About History. Haddie Sandford we see managing the Y. W. C. A., and Kay Fromback is the inspiration for the revival of Little Maid of Old New York. In the happy mood of yellow, we find that Webster Davison and Wm. Malone as Ringling Brothers' prize clowns, are the answer to the children's prayer, that joe Kelley is humor editor of Ballyhoo fyes-still the best seller on the list of high school magazinesj and that Eddie Dresher is considered a second edition of Eddie Cantor. ' Next, the bright marigold, bold even in the morning light, with its orange coat of prominence and importance, reveals great doings in the poli- tical world. Walton Wanner is President at last, and Marguerite Wahlers reigns supreme as the First Lady of the Land and Jeanette Gurewitz is his efficient private secretary. Albert Cardineau is Vice-President and john Gerometta, Secretary of State. Thomas Leslie is our distinguished ambassador to Great Britain, and McEntee, the old irreconciliableu takes Senator Borah's place on the Foreign Relations Committee. Mike Esposito has made a name as the Speaker of the House, and Ordine Beakes is equally famous for having 7114- T293 l' i i fl?f1?iTb,7, of the Future.

We are glad to hear that Chicago racketeering has been wiped out due to the efficiency of Zena Franz, head of the Women Police Corps and Marjorie Grathwohl, Helen Battista, Louise Cardineau, and Jennie Kallminzer, her capable assistants. Against a white trellis grow the graceful holly-hocks-tall and gracious as the reed-at the water's edge. Their little bells ring out that Fred Sarapin and Billy Hoffman are now first violinists in the New York Symphony Or- chestra, that Aimee Deletraz is the new sensational French actress and that Warren Bryan is starring in a subtle satire on Broadway. Ruth Dunstan is travelling around, giving lectures on How To Be Well-Groomedf' and Benn jesser is President of the Chase National Bank, of which Elizabeth Bender is Treasurer. Not to be overlooked, are the pompous vice-presidents: Albert Altwater, Cornelius Quackenbush, Rob. Schroeder and Edward Morse. Soon the sun climbs higher, the light grows stronger, and the bubbles of dew slowly melt until they leave altogether and float unseen through the air to the castles of the night. Our garden is bathed in sunlight and glows with warmth and brilliance, and the golden web of silent secrecy invisibly closes about the Howers, and they speak no more. Later in the morning, when the sun is a blazing disk of white heat in the flawless blue, the spirit of fishing calls, and we soon find ourselves stand- ing in a turbulent stream, the water knee-high to our boots. There is some- thing irresistible in this pastime, and a delightful sensation glows within us. Perhaps it is inspired by the beauty of the scene around us, the white foam of the water against the soft green of the bank, along which there run sunlit paths, occasionally colored by the sudden start of a cardinal or a bluejay, and the tufted pines reaching into the blue. Whatever it is, another spell weaves around us and our eyes are fixed on the stream. The many rocks delay the progress of the eager waters and here and there are deep little pools where the eddying water gently swirls 'round and 'round A brown-speckled fish, splashed with silver, glides through the sun- lit spaces, but he goes on his way unharmed, for through the roar of the water comes a voice-murmuring, yet gently compelling ....... On the high seas, there is a merchant marine vessel, the S. S. Montana, whose captain is the famous Warren Ranges of submarine fame. Up at Block Island resides the countryis favorite yachtsman, Sir john Stagg, who invented the famous speed-boat 'Streak O' Lightninf' In the sports world, the stream tells us that Polly Thatcher, having taken Helen Moody's place in women's tennis, is playing against Paul Ferber, even better than Bill Tilden, at Wimble- don, for the world championship. Wilfred Hugli has taken ownership of the Langley Flying Field and is a great success with the Sweet Jennie Lee's in Virginia. Charlie Myers and Richard Young are rival track coaches at Uni- versity of Pennsylvania and Princeton, respectively. Donald Norton is Ely Culbertson's partner in an international tournament, and Elizabeth Sheafe's new style in dancing has revolutionized that art. Evelyn Berry is the interior decorator for the Titter-Tatter Tavern, a popular tea shop run by Ellen Graney, Annette Ackerman, Helen Fell and Agnes Brown. Everett Walters, Elmer Page Fifty-eight 1932 2 2 44 44 THE COMET Smith and George Vierling have formed a Modernistic Designing Company, the first big contract for which is Olive Anderson's Paris dress salon. Another famous trio is composed of Henry Eraney, William Bouton and Herman Eerber, who are archaeologists for the Museum of Natural History, and it is rumored that they go to Africa to hunt ivory merely to heal their broken hearts. There are two lawyers in the picture, Patsy Di Zenzo and Henry Rittman, both very famous. Also there has resulted two matrimonial affairs, that of Robert Enters and Edith Ernst, and Lucille Krueger and Sheldon Davis. We come out of our reverie, for gradually the murmur has ceased. We see, instead of a troubled sweep of foamy waters, a noiselessly slipping little brook, sleeping under the lazy atmosphere of noon. A maple leaf, strangely cupped like a little ship, comes floating gallantly down, passes us, and slowly winds its way over the shimmering surface until, at a bend in the stream, it is lost from our lingering gaze. The stream continues on its dreamy course to the river-similar to our slipping, changing lives-with the broad ocean as its goal. Softly reminiscing of our school-days, we climb the bank and wend our happy way-homeward. Evelyn Swift. Gilda Bellabarlm.

The duty of the court is to judge without partiality and to correct offenders rather than to punish them. The court tries to determine the reason for the offense and endeavors to show how the offenders' actions affect the success of student participation. Under the supervision of its new advisor, Mr. Pegg, the Court has com- pleted a successful season and, because of the comparatively few cases it dealt with, there is every reason to believe that the students are recognizing the fact that the secret of all student participation is cooperation.

The Field Patrol was very efficient this past year due to the leader- ship of the Chief, William Bushg while the Building Patrol was as equally eflicient under the leadership of the Chief, Egbert Koenig. Some of the duties of the Field Patrol are to keep students off the field during athletic events, also to collect and to sell tickets for the different games. The duties of the Building Patrol are to keep traflic moving on the stair- ways, and to keep students moving in single file up and down the stairways.

It may boast of a proud history of efficient, helpful cooperation in the life of the school. cgi! When first organized, the council consisted of about one dozen members, it now totals almost thirty. It is composed of representatives from all classes and groups of school life and is a very democratic organization. Aside from the routine of library work, which falls on the shoulders of all the members, they are also active in all phases of school life. Last semester the Council, as a group, produced two plays to raise funds to purchase new fiction books. The plays were entitled The Wedding and The Wooden Leg. 1932 OFFICERS Preridefzz ............ .....,....................................... W ALTON WANNER Vice-Preridefzt ....... ..................

Several one act plays were put on as proof of their in- terest. They were done entirely by the pupils, with no assistance from the teachers. Some of the most outstanding were: Modern Courtship by the well-known thespians, Edna Thompson and Robert Goodlow. This is a very clever play and it was worked out remarkably well. Carolyn Barteluce, who has possibilities as a director, coached Letters, starring Frances Malone and Helen Spitz. Mannikin and Minnikin, the story of two Bisque figures, was another that earned well-deserved praise. The Little Stage Club also helped the Library Council to produce several short plays. These were The Wooden Leg, a ridiculous farce, with Aimee De Letraz and Robert Goodlow, and The Wedding. In this, Warren Bryan ran true to form as a bridegroom who had lost his collar button. Rena Mac Ewan was very attractive as the young, pretty bride. The Little Stage Club is also participating in a Little Theatre Movement, which is being sponsored by Teaneck High School. Delegates have been sent to several meetings, but this project is just getting started. We hope to be- come active and prominent in this activity.

In spite of all this, comparatively few penalty slips had to be given for offenses and there were not many serious offenders. As an experiment, the noon hour study halls were instituted during the second semester. Rooms on the second floor were opened for those who wished to study. The conduct in these rooms has been excellent and a great many have taken advantage of the opportunity offered them for further study. Hackensack High School was asked to lead the discussion and to furnish two speakers on the subject Student Participation in Study Hall Management at the Sixth Annual Conference on Extra Curricular Activities, held at New Brunswick, on March 18. It was felt that we were best qualified to lead in this work as we have done more along this line than any other high school in the state. The success of this organization depends upon the co-operation of the student Body and the Proctors, and, through this co-operation, we have built up a system of which we may justly feel proud.

Y. U. Alma Mater Song Oh Hackensack, dear Alma Mater! For thee we raise the gold and blue, And strive to lift thy banner higher In each and every thing we do. And when we bring up to thy altar Trophies from football field and track, We'll mingle many hearts and voices In praise of Hackensack. Our High School friendships all must sever And fade as does thy dying day, And comrades all must come to parting As out in life we wend our way. Whatever fate may hold in secret Oft may we turn our memories back, Renew once more our old devotions For thee, dear Hackensack! W. DEMAREST, '18 B.
