Moreover. the attitude of faculty and students alike has been influenced toward fellow understanding, unselfishness, the determination to succeed, and all those qualities com- posing the high rules of life for which this admirable counselor stands. IT is THEREFORE APPROPRTATE THAT WE THE CLASS OF 1945 sHoULD ATTEMPT TO EXPRESS OUR SINCERIE GRATITUDI? BY DEDICATING THIS TWENTY-s1xTH PUBLICATION OF THE ORACLE TO MR.

We, the Senior Class of 1945, already recognizing the close of this invaluable period in our lives, present this final effort to summa rize our school years as we have known them. It is our hope that, to the stu dents and alumni of our school, at home or in service, this book may brirg many dear moments of recollection and a profound sense of respect for the alma mater which has so greatly contributed to our well-being. We are deeply indebted to Miss John son, whose untiring efforts each year make possible the composition of our 'AOracle. To our far seeing Board of Education, our guiding faculty, our cooperative schoolmates, and all those who have so willingly given financially or materially to our project, we extend our sincerest appreciation. Wiithout your response and support, this Work of all senior work might never have been accomplished. S1'1fz'r1 T e Uracle KENNETH A. WOOLF, A. B., M.

So long to you, Our scores of friends and studies: Dear welfare of our school we now entrust. We've tried her ideals to uphold, Pleasures enjoyed by all are untold. Fond memories We each enfold, The past imparts To our hearts. Schoolmates, your friendships have been true: Teachers, our many thanks to you. These years have been so very few, Now, today, Gone are they. Your alma materfs flag befriend. Every tradition keep-defend, Strive greater heights to ascend, Hold it clear- All that's here. To a confused and bitter world, we turn With ready minds and yet, much more to learn: How often we will long to return- But now, we sigh. Now-Good-bye, FRED ADAMS JEAN BLAU ALFRED NUNN EMMA JANE SMITH CHRISTINE VEY MISS MARY LOUISE KREYLING 'l'u'e'II ty mike T e Drac e Class Poem THE LONG HILL Twelve short and wonderful years ago We stood at the foot of the hill Determined to climb tiill we reached the top. Which we've done of our own free will. The first eight miles were easy ones. Filled with fun and work and play: We took for granted the everyday things, But we cherish the memories today. The teachers were our guiding light: They kept us from going astray: They led us away from tihe pitfalls of life And we'll be thankful when far, far away. The next four miles, we strived to earn. The honors we're getting today: The hill got steep as the days went by, But we conquered each step of the way. Some of our classmates have left us. Because the world of today is at war: But we pray the Lord to take care of them. For we know that peace they shall help to r2StOre. Now as we lift our eyes to the top of the hill, We turn and bid dear Hackettstown High adieu, But we know that we shall continue to climb For the higher we rise, the broader the view. PEG Twenty-one COLEMAN e Urao e A Serviceman's Poem As we have compiled our yearbook the thought of those boys who might have helped us with it has constantly been in our minds. How incomplete this Oracle would be without an expression representative of our many classmates who yearn to relive their H. H. S. days. Therefore, we proudly include this serviceman's class poem by Joseph Smith of the United States Navy. It might well be another senior poem but to us there is something more between the lines. CLIMBING Let's picture our schooldays, in the ladder of life. As rungs leading upward, through vic'try and strife, For they hold the story of our glorious fate In t-his treasured volume, we intend to relate. We entered these portals that we now hold so dear With a questioning look which seemed touched by fear. But this fear had vanished when we left for the night: As we looked for the morrow, we had shaken the fright. Classes started to take a more interesting part Of H. H. S. schooldays, where we put our heart: And the time hurried by, while veterans we grew As we looked at life, with a much Hner view. We'll always remember the help we obtained From untiring teachers through whom we have gained The cause to be thankful that we're given the right To ight for our freedom, for our freedom so bright. The time is upon us, when our paths may soon differ From the friends we have made, which may make life stiffer. But wherever we go, or whatever we do, The higher we can climb, the broader is the view. T21'f'lIIY-lu'1r rx, K 1 fNT:il e Urac e Alma Maier All hail to Theef Our H, H.

S C ..--Mountain Top Angus Farms Fiffj'-Iwo dv. Q.-. IP: f e Uracle Hisfory of fhe Class of 1944 by BRUCE MoLLoY It seems only yesterday when we entered the doors of Hackettstown High School, but really four years have passed, years packed with fun, work, excite- ment, and everything else that makes I-I.H.S. what it is. Yes, it was four years we'll never forget. But let's reminisce for a moment. One hundred and twenty-one of us started. We were all types-tall, short, fat, skinny-but we all had one thing in common. We were all eager to start this new adventure. Naturally we were awkward-this was so different to all of us. But we overcame tfhis as you can see now. Of course we couldn't do much without leaders, so at our first class meeting we elected the following classmates to guide us: President .. . . . . Dave Muir Vice-President . . .. I-Bury Roehrich Secretary ..-.Anne Morgan Treasurer . . .. . . .. . . ...Cieorge Michell Historian . . ,.., . . .,., . Jeanne Zimmerman We chose maroon and white our class colors, Sunrise, Not Sunset our class motto, and white carnation our class flower. Although nothing important happened this first year, we learned the ropes and got acquainted. These pleasant friendships have followed us through our stay here at H. H. S. Our Sophomore year was on us before we knew it. Some new faces were among us while others had vanrished into the big, wide world to seek their fortunes. We thought we would give some others a chance, so for our officers this year we elected: . David Hoff . .- -. . - .. . . .President Ralph McNeel .. . .--Vice-President Anne Morgan -. . .. .. . . .. . .. . . .. . Secretary George Michell . . .... . ..... .- . .. . . Treasurer The high-light of our Sophomore year was our presentation of the Memorial Day Program, directed by Miss Williams. Tihe feminine members of our class put on a tableau entitled Women in War. We also gave a one- act play entritled Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Grudge? The whole event was a tremendous success. At the close of this year, we knew that we had completed the hardest half of our high school course, and we looked forward with enthusiasm to the remaining two years. To lead us in our Junior year, we chose the following officers: Dave Muir . . . .. . .- President Bob Peterson -- - .. .. . . .. .Vice-President Mary Tonkens -. . . Secretary LaMonte Hankinson . . . Treasurer and myself .... .... - .. . . . Historian At Christmas time we presented a pageant entitled The Birthday of a Kring. Due to Mrs. Hale's wonderful direction, it was a big success. Of course, the great event of our Junior year was yet to come-our Junior Prom. Under the excellent supervision of Mr. Voorhees, we couldn't help but make it a big success. In fact, it was considered even better than the one held the previous year, much to the Seniors' dismay. We danced dreamily amid red, white, and blue streamers. Everyone enjoyed himself until the soft strains of Ken Brader's Orchestra died away. Some enjoyed themselves even longer. Fifty-tl1n'f' Wes. e Uracle Commencement week was upon us before we knew it. Pat Schroeder, Mary Ann Smith, Jake Read, and Dave Muir were chosen Commencement Ushers. On Class Day we were kididied, slammed, and made fun of--but We kept our lheads high, for we knew our :time was coming. Wayne Sherrer was presented with the Key of Knowledge by Jean Kelly, Wayne having attained the highest average among the Juniors. So ended our Junior year. Now we were Seniors, and proud of it. This was what we had worked for, what we had struggled for, and now we gloried in it. We were the ones who were looked up to now. Yes, sir-we were the big cheese, and boy, did we love wit. We all knew this would be the grandest year We had had and it was--you uniderclassmen will find out wwhen your time comes. This year we elected: n Bob Peterson o,.o,,.c,,,o,,,o , ,o,, ,,o, . ,. ,,,, ,,c, President Jake Read t,,tt,. a ,,,Vl'C9-Pf9Sid9Uf Mary Tonkens c,,dd,,dd, d,,d a .dc,, ddt, . d,,d S a-.Secretary Helen Kowalick c..,, ,,d,d c,,cd,.cd, S . N .,tdc, Treasurer We really started the year off with a bang. With Jake Read and 'ASass Applegate as co-captains, the Hacketvtstown Tigers had an undefeated year in football. Thanks to the splendid. kicking toe of one Sass Applegate, the great running of Bob Blake and Bob Alpaugh, the plunging bucks of Jake Read, the great sportsmanship of Bob Peterson, the grand teamwork of Bob Watters, the nvimble fingers of 'iJit Green, and the well-known superb coaching of Mr. Morrison-all this was possible. Tlhe year went rapidly, almost too fast, and before we knew it March 30th was here, and the Senior Play. Twelve polished players made their debut in Ever Since Eve, a smash hit if ever -there was one. The cast included Patsy Park, Wayne Sherrer, Gordon Muir, Henry Roehrich, Mary Ann Smith, Peg Sherry, Arlene Tynan, Mary Tonkens, Norman Harrison, Helen S. Kowalick, Jit Green, and myself. Of course, Mrs. Hale, as usual, did more than her share to make lit a success, and we want to extend our sincere appreciation for all her work. The cast had a lot of fun putting it on, and it was so good that it played two nigihfts to over a thousand people. Never before has such a colossal production at Hackettstown been recorded, and we'd like to see you underclass- men even try to beat it. The next night we were entertained by the Junior Class at their Prom, and surprisingly enough, they really showed us a swell time. About the middle of May, the Yearbook came out, bigger and better than ever before. It had taken months of hard work, but it was well worth it. Not only did the whole staff cooperate to the utmost, but the other members of the Senrior Class did tlheir part, too. Early in the year We had elected Dot Phil- hower, Pat Schroeder, Tena Bakker, and Norman Harrison Assistant Editors. Wayne Sherrer was elected Business Manager, with Peg Sherry, Mary Ann Smith, Mary Tonkens, Gordon Muir, George Michell, and Henry Roehrich as his assistants. The artists were Anne Morgan and Mary Suss, and I was Editor- in-Chief. We 'found that many obstacles had to be overcome, and let me say that without the aid of Miss Johnson, our faithful, hard-working advliser, this 25th edition of the Oracle would never have been possible. She has our sincerest thanks. Wayne Sherrer came out on top .again this year and is Valeidictorian. Mary Ann Smith became the third Honor Student, and 1 am Salutatorian. And now, our school days are at an end, and only a few days remain before We sha-ll be graduated, and go out into the world to seek our fortunes. No, tihis is not the end, for the Class of 1944 is a handi-working class, an ambitious class a Winning class. The history of the Class of 1944 is not stopping, but just beginning. We are going out into the world to make a name for ourselves and our school. Yes, we shall be heard from again, showing the world that we, the Class of 1944, can't be defeated. Fiftyefou r Q e Uraole f'?'e Class Prophecy by PEG SHERRY Now that you've seen just a sample of the talents of the Class of '44 one can't help but wonder wlhat use each will make of his talents in the future. Of course, no one knows, but I have some pretty fair ideas, so come along with me for a few minutes and let's take one big leap in time and space and see where we land. Why, it's New Orleans. It's the 1954 World's Faiir. Hm, I won-d-er where that music is coming from? I see, it's George Michell leading his swing orchestra. I knew it! Sanford Vreeland is still blowing on that bass horn! Mary Tonkens and Frank Stefan are at the piano and the vocalists are Beaner Tynan and Bruce Molloy. Oh, yes, there's a little blonde- haired girl in the front row who is pointing at George and saying, TIhat's my pop! Who is that coming out of Roehrich's Flower Shop? Well, for Pete's sake! It's Wayne Sherrer with his Latin class, viewing Henry's flowers-oh, oh! there goes Wayne, chasing a butterfly which has caught his eye! Wlhat is all that noise! Golly, it sounds as if someone is beving murdered! Oh, no-it's iust Pete Fr'eeborn's Wild West Show! Pete's doing some mighty line riding! Helen Valentine, now a nurse. is on hand just in case there's an accident. Herman Garris is also running a movie between shows to help Pete ou-t. Speaking of horses, there's the Four-H Club Project. Jake Read 'is the head of it and the other members who are helping to feed this hungry world of ours are: Bob Beyer, Harold Grover. Francis McKenna, Joe Kucharski. Charles Parke, Dick Smith, Bob Watters and Roy Yager. They say that agri- culture is the backbone of a nation. If these fellows are an example of our Agricultural nation, I'd say we have a pretty strong backbone! The Red Cross building is over there. I've heard there are going to be a lot of nurses there to talk to the young girls about the nursing field. Golly, I wonder if anyone we know uis there? Let's go and see! Oh, there's Caroline Park and Mary Suss! They're talking to Hazel Gruver and Evelyn Tichenor. who are also nurses. Girls, look at those cute hats and those darling slacks! Let's go in and see wiho thought up such original ideas. You men may come, too! I thought so-Pat Schroeder and Charlotte Piteo at work! Helen Kowalick is modeling all of their creations for them. All right, men, we'll leave for something more interesting to you. I know you men would like to go to the baseball game. Let's look and see who :is on the program! The National League All-Stars and the American League All-Stars. Jit Green is short stop on the American League, Bob Alpaugh is pitching on the same team. Oh! Oh! LaMonte Hankinson is playing on the opposite team! Ah, 'here comes 'the aviation show. Look, there's Bob Peterson doing some fancy barrel rolls. Sass Applegate is flying one of those huge transport planes. Bill Greenham an'd Ralph Knechel are stunt flyers for the show-'both are still cut-ups! Fifty-five Wiz. e Uracle Many of my classmates have been sailing on the sea of matrimony. The Mothers' Club of Hackettstown is here in a body today. The President, Bette Naughright, is leading the way. Some of the other members are: Mary Gard- ner, Joy Hill, Jennie Gibbs, Eloise Jennings, Helen Richardson, and Betty Apple- gate. Since they decided to leave their husbands at home, Ralph McNeel is home taking care of the children. Mary Ann Smith is also a member, but she decided to stay home with her Reading. Oh, here come some service men and women. Yes, -they've decided to stay with Uncle Sam. Skippy Williamson is one of Uncle Sam's glamorous WAVES. Dave Hoff has also decided to stay in the Navy and see the world. Bob Blake is still a member of the Leatherneck squad. Gerald Ryan is keep- ing up his good work in the Army. In case any of you girls want to have your hair fixed you'd better look up Jean Liggett's and Florence Fisher's Beauty Salon. Miriam and Muriel Hart are their secretaries and help to keep the accounts straight. Many of my class- mates are secretaries for various concerns, some of them are: Terra Bakker, Zenovia Dudiak, Anna Penkol, Helen Samodel, and Dot Philhower. Maybe some of you don't believe that story about a little boy fishing in a pail of water, but there's George Prall over by the water fountain wi-th his Fishing pole-well, good luck, Prally! Ted Campbell is sitting by the foun'ta'n too-ihe's still sort of tired. Ted Holz and Albert Alpaugh are sitting on one of the many benches and are whistling at the pretty girls. After all these years they're still the wolves of Long Valley! I see Anne Morgan and Red Harrison over there-still talking and laugh- ing. They're probably talking about Anne's last trip to Alabama!! Every once in a while Red 'turns around to look at the pretty blondes who are passing by. A Look at Mutt and Jeff over there! Oh, no, it's Dave Muir, now a min- ister, and Julius Japowicz, a full-fledged. baker. Gordon is with them. He is one of the nation's prosperous business men: along with Gordon is his secretary, Betty Woronowicz. IVho is that shouting???? For heaven's sake! Doris Miller, Marietta Cuff and Helen Kowalczuk are Barkers for the PIE Eating Cortest!!! Can you imagine those girls shouting after all the years they hardly even made any noise! Betty Harm is selling tickets, Bob Thomas is the favored contestant, and is ahead by three pies! Se Kowalick is here with her History Class. She's still rooting for the Cardinals. I never did agree with -her on that subject! Speaking of teachers, there's Shirley Sutton with her class. Most of her studerts are paying more attention to the Army escort with a 69 on his shoulder than they are to the game-can you blame them! V I always knew the Class of '44 would be a success and 'this glance into the 1954 World's Fair certainly proves I wasn't far from right! Fifty-six e Dracle Class Will of 1944 We, the Class of nineteen hundred and forty-flour, :having completed our strenuous four years of higher education and being of sound mind and 1-A classification, do forthwith and hereby issue and declare this document to be our last will and testament. First: To this institution we hereby devote and pledge our loyalty through the years. Second: We leave to Dr. Woolf our sincerest gratitude and appreciation for h-is aid in assisting us along the path of life. We wish him the best of luck and success in his new undertaking. Third: To Mr. Brugler we leave our best wishes and happiness in his retirement from our great sch-ool. Mr. Brugler, through his high standards and constant endeavoring toward better living, has established a goal toward which everyone may strive. Fourth: To all the members of the faculty who have made our years at H. H. S. educational, entertaining, and memorable, we wish to leave our heart- felt appreciation and gratitude. We are especially grateful To Miss Johnson, who, througeh her untiring efforts, helped us make our Oracle a success. To Mrs. Hale, who led this year's class to a glorifying triumph in produc- ing our Senior Play which was so successful. To Mr. Voorhees, whose interests and efforts made our Junior Prom a success. And to Mrs. Snyder, whose enthusiasm helped us to make this night a memorable one. Fifth: To the Class of 1945, you infants of next year's graduating class, we leave our heartfelt hope that you will manage to survive tvhe coming year. In addition we devise and bequeath the following: Anne Morgan and Peg Sherry leave their art of constant chatter to Dick Young and Jean Blau. George Michell wills all his famous musical talent to Roland Phoebus who is well able to handle it as you all have probably noticed. Wayne Sherrer bequeaths his intelligence to George Curl and Doug Moore. He also leaves his ability to tell dry jokes to any capable Junior. Robert Thomas and Gordon Muir leave all their towering theight to Gerry Cannon. We know Gerry will need it next year in his basketball career. Bob Blake leaves his entire Marine career to any Junior boy or girl who is interested. Pat Schroeder and Charlotte Piteo will their ability to form sharp curves in the right place to Martha Hopping, Marjorie Lake, and Henrietta Tynan. Joe Kucharski, Herman Garris, and Ted Campbell bequeath their quiet unassuming air to Lyal Stevens and Bert Tierney. Ted Holz and Bill Greenham leave their mischievous ideas and clever antics to any Juniors who are capable of carrying on the reputation of tihese boys. George Prall, the outdoor man of the Senior Class, wills all his casting techrique, trapping ability, and crack shot to Harry Pool who is trying hard to fill George's shoes. Fifty-s1'1f1'11 Q5-Q-A. e Ura cle To Doris Steinmann. Frank Stefan, the Eddy Duchin of our class, leaves his marvelous ability at the iv-ories. Bette Naughright wills her ability to capture and hold her objective to Grace Smith. Roy Yager and Richard Smith leave their various, unauthorized experi- ments in the Lab to Fred Adams and Don Burd. Our Lab periods were never dull as Mr. Johnson can probably tell you. To Billie Palmer and Betty Cannon, Helen S. Kowalick and Helen Rich- ardson bequeath their copyrighted technique on how to get your man. I know you Junior girls can use this advice to your 'best advantage. To Beatrice Anderson is left the height and charming personality of Tena Bakker. Eloise Jennings and Dot Philhower will to Gerry Hall their jitterbugging ability. Incidentally, these charming Washington Township girls are very adept .in getting their man. Florence Fisher and Bette Williamson leave their quiet Cahemlj unassum- ing manner to Verne Euart and Sandra Cudney. Dave Muir, David H-off, and Ralph Knechel will their honored and well- earned positions in the Navy to Ed Lutzkow, Will Richter, and Charles Tillou. I know all these boys will demonstrate their superior training received here at H. H. S. as they work their way upward toward higher ranks. Norman Harrison, Bob Beyer, and Charles Parke bequeath their red xhair, all three shades, 'to Ken Willson and Elizabeth Riley, who seem to be the only Juniors fitted for the position. To Al Michell, Joe Smith, and Fred Harmon is left the good nature and happy-go-lucky'personality of Albert Alpaugh and Lawrence Freeborn. Helen Kowalick and Helen Samodel leave their inseparable friendship to Lois Rossy and. Lois Voorhees. Please notice Helen is to Helen as Lois is to Lois. Try figuring out that proportion, Prof. Anna Penkol and Betty Applegate will their low but well-built frames to Steffi Smalinski and Gloria Ronca. To Christine Vey is left the intelligence and pleasing personality of Mary Ann Smith. Mary Ann made a good record in taking third place honors. We leave the calm, quiet and generous ways of Betty Woronowicz and Shirley Sutton to Barbara Westley, Pearl Hildebrant, and Elaine Gallagher. LaMonte Hankinson and Bob Alpaugh leave their natural wavy hair to John Gr-oome, Earl Philhower, and Bill Bennett. These Seniors also will their membership in the H. H. S. wolf pack No. 99 to any boy interested. We leave all the popularity and all around swell personality of Bob Peter- son to Alfred Nunn who seems well able to carry on. Alfred Applegate, Gerald Green, and Jake Read bequeath tiheir vacancies on the football eleven to big Bill Burke. In this case, we fans look doubtfully to a successful team next year. We leave to any capable, willing or daring Junior, the technique of our swooner crooner, Bruce Sinatra Molloy. Bruce will also demonstrate his method of pleasing the brunettes as stated in the Yearbook. Ififluv-rfiglzl We-, ' T e Dracle X 5. fix - .fy To Jim Allen we will the entire data on how to be a successful farmer which has been compiled by Harold Grover, Julius Japowicz, Sanford Vree- land, and Robert Watters. Jim has a good start and I know he'll be able to carry on. Mary Gardner and Joy Hill are only too glad to leave to any Junior of the fair sex the secrets on how to acquire that certain something on the third finger of -the left hand. We bequeath the popularity and oomph of Arlene Tynan and Mary Tonkens to Doris Shaneberger and Janie Smith. We leave the fair play and understanding attitude of Jean Liggett. Doris Miller, Evelyn Tichenor, and Hazel Gruver to Inez Hedden, Geraldine Hart, and Florence Jamison. Howard Bartow wills his superb ability to make up work to any and all needy Juniors. Howard has really accomplished a difficult task in making up all that back work. To Edith Price and Evelyn Seley is left the friendship and balanced dispo- sition of Helen Valentine and Caroline Park. Mary Suss, Helen Kowalczuk, and Zenovia Dudiak will their secrets on how to be popular with the men to Ethel Campbell, Mildred Beam, and Peggy Coleman. Maybe these Juniors don't need too much of this technique after all. Miriam and Muriel Hart. the class twins, and Marietta Cuff will their charm. quietness and examples as model personalities to the entire Junior Class. We realize you probably will not be able to reach such standards but it is something to strive for. To every boy in the Junior Class who is looking forward to serving in the armed forces, we leave the l-A classifications of Ralph McNeel, Gerald Ryan. and Francis McKenna. These boys will certainly show that they have what it takes after all those miracle-building P. T. classes. Incidentally, if any of you Junior boys happen to be 4-E, you might try enlisting in the Waacs. The cheerful, all-around sportsmanship of Jennie Gibbs and Betty Hann is left to Vivian Resch and Barbara Liggett. I, Henry Roehrich, will my deepest heartfelt sympathy to the producer of next year's Will. To the whole Junior Class we leave our beloved books and home rooms. And now, having legally disposed of all our possessions, we depart with our heartiest farewell. In testimony whereof, we do thereby set our hand and seal of the thriving and progressive Class of '44 on this 20th day of June, one thousand nine hun- dred and forty-four.

I-lis fine work has brought pleasure to every student and we are sure that our yearbook could not be such a success each year without his Willing service. Mr. Minassian understands the difficult task before a senior class in publishing a yearbook in wartime: he also feels indebted to those service boys and girls who are sacrificing so much for all of us. Therefore, realizing that the compiling of material for the follow- ing section of our book was a huge undertaking. he insisted upon contributing his time and skill to preparing many of the photographs used. This generous gesture was indeed a source of encouragement. We of the Oracle Staff certainly appreciate Mr. lVlinassian's helpful attitude and genuine interest in the wartime efforts of young people. 5fXf.Y't'!'1'l n T ,efmie 0 Trlbufe fo Those Serving Our Counfry Realizing that their immeasurable sacrifices can hardly be repaid, we the Class of 1945, humbly and yet proudly, dedicate this portion of our 'lOracle to those brave boys and girls of our school who have answered the call to arms as patriotic men and women of America. To you, our own schoolmates, who are serving in our behalf, may we express our feeling of regret for your absence and our most heartfelt gratitude for your spirit: for you have given up the rightful 'privileges of youth that they might be ours. We present the following not only as a reminder of those who have already offered their freedom and even Uheir lives for the protection of right. but also for those who are yet to join their ranks. May we take heed of their examples: may we strive to build from this state of confusion a world of peace worthy of their fearless, unselfish hearts. Sixly- eight Uracl Killed in Service PVT.

At Hrst the membership was small but interest in the game continually grew. We formed what we call a chess lad- der. Meetings are 'held once a week and at that time any member may chal- lenge another member who stands two or three places above him on the ladder. If the challenger is victorious he slowly climbs to the top of the ladder. We feel that chess is a game which exercises our minds and at the same time furnishes good recreation. OFFICERS Queen . .

T e Dracle Foofball The Thanksgiving Day victory over Roxbury High School in the snow banks at Succasunna, New Jersey, capped a mark of success on a season which started with poor prospects for Coach Charles A. Morrison's Hackettstown High School eleven. Early in September the local football fans were inclined to scoff at Mr. Morrison's prediction that it would be tough going for the Orange and Black this fall, and, after the opening game the loyal followers were convinced. However, the boys just kept on trying and learning and plugging, and when the final tally was in they had a margin of five victories and three defeats, with two of the losses to schools clearly out of their class. 1t's a grand thing when a school can have an undefeated season on the gridiron, but it is better yet when the boys can take a few losses along the line in their stride. The 1944 season speaks eloquently of coaching ability and the spirit of the players. Opening the season with Morristown High School, a new opponent on the schedule, we were defeated by the score of 19 to 0. Hackettstown was completely outplayed in the best game put up by the Morristown team through- out t-he season. Staging a comeback, Hackettstown High School defeated the Bernardsville High School team on Saturday, October 7th, by the score of 13 'to 6. The next game, on Saturday, October 14th, was won by the slim margin of one point when a stubborn Wharton High School team was subdued, 14 to 13. The game was marked by sensational running and slipshod ball hand- ling wh'ch kept the crowd on t-he edge of their seats all afternoon. The weight and speed of Plainfield High School, sparked by a track team backfield that specialized in long runs, was too much for the diminutives of Hackettstown High School as Plainfield won on a muddy field, Saturday after- noon, October Zlst, by the score of 18 to 7. Out-weighed, out-scored, but not out-faced, the Hackettstown eleven was defeated by Washington High School, 35 to 7. The Washington team partially avenged themselves for the four set-backs they have suffered at the hands of Hackettstown since 1940. They were on the ball all afternoon. charged powerfully, ran the ball skillfully, flashed a potent attack, and on defense succeeded in holding the Hackettstown team to one touchdown and from developing into a threat all through the battle. Sparked by Kenny Willson and Richie Armstrong, the Hackettstown team swept back into the victory column Saturday afternoon. November 4th, when they crushed Dover High School, 18 to 0, at Dover. Throwing up a defensive screen Hackettstown balked every attempt of the Dover team to score. The Newton High School eleven was next defeated as Hackettstown. scor- ing in every period, won easily with a 25 to 0 score. Willson and Armstrong again featured with long runs. At Succasunna, N. J., Thanksgiving Day morning, Hackettstown defeated the Roxbury High School team, 19 to 13. It was as thrilling and interesting a football game as any schoolboy classic could produce.

They are deserving of credit for their performance and their improvement throughout the season. The opening Junior Varsity game was with Belvidere Varsity. They lost 25-0 to a more versatile eleven. The next game with Dover gave the Hackettstown Junior Varsity some encouragement. They won 15-6. The team took to the road for their next encounter with St. Bernards. After a hard fought game, they won 26 to 19. Hackettstown next journeyed to Washingtion, where they played their best game of the season. The two teams were very evenly matched and it was not until the closing minutes of the game that the Junior Varsity crashed through with six points and a victory. St. Bernards came to Hackettstown to avenge their previous defeat, but the Junior Varsity proved too strong for them again and won 21 to 6. Netcong was the next opponent and with their aerial attack defeated the Junior Varsity 30 to 13. The final game was played at Netcong under adverse conditions to good football. The field was covered with snow and made the game a very muddy affair. Netcong Hnally won 13-0. Rudolph Boch was elected Captain of the '45 Junior Varsity club.

This year the team has an experienced infield but the hitting powers were decidedly weak. With a schedule of eleven games, there were five won and six lost. Opening the season at Morrison Field, Netcong High School was defeated by the score of 11 to 9. A second victory followed over a powerful High Bridge High School outfit, Hackettstown winning 4 to 3. Traveling to Phillipsburg, Hackettstown met a superior team and lost a see-saw game 15 to 10. Breaking into the win column, St. Bernards' School was defeated 10 tio 2. A reverse followed with Newton High School winning an ex-tra inning game. at Newton, 6 to 5. Next Washington High School added to the defeats by winning from Hackettstown 9 to 2. Netcong High School, in their second game, displayed a different team on t-heir own field and took Hackettstown into camp, 4 to 2. Hackettstown next traveled to St. Bernards' and found trouble in ekeing out a victory, 9 to 7. Phillipsburg High School again won 13 to 2 in the school's second meet- ing. It was a close and interesting game until the sixth inning when Phillips- burg started hitting safely and widened the margin of runs. Newton High School came to Hackettstown and another extra inning game ensued. This time Hackettstown was the winner, seven runs to six. Every bit of strategy worked this day for Hackettstown. The season closed with Washington High School at Washington, Hack- ettstown losing by the score of 8 to 2. John Groome, Robert Alpaugh, and Earl Morgan were the pitchers and Jake Read was the catcher. For the season 1945, Bill Burke. Captain and Harvey Stevens, '47, Manager.
