Wll0'S WHO AND As Frivolous Frosh The largest class in the history of our alma mater, the thirty-niners, began their career at Haddon Heights in a big way. Because over i300 students were attending an academic institution built to hold 850, two school ses- sions were put into effect. We, the lowly frosh, attended these immortal halls of learning from l2'45 to 5 p. ni, and the haughtier upper class members from B a, in to l2125, Fourteen new teachers joined our faculty and the thirty-niners, now virtually a school in itself, organized their class. Fred, the sign painter, Maurer was elected class president, closely followed by Jack Britton, who, with Betty Faunce as treasurer and Ruth Supplee as secretary, complete as fine an array of class officers as are to be found. Ther homeroom presidents were Vivian Huston, Anna Olt, Bill Bagnall, Ann Aherns, John Vacarra, Paul Cum- mings, Sara Fenimore, Virginia Ruggles, Alma Lewis, Fred Maurer, Jack La Pierre and Phillip Simone, Although the senators sat in on the sessions ex officio, the honor was great for Paul Denlinger, Tom Cooney, Wilbur Meyers, Gertrude D'Amico, Lucille Swonetz, Joe Kirkpatrick, Fran- cis Sabot, Georgette Pageman, Bill Traynor, Edna Simmler, Betty Brill and Jane Hebrew. Events outstanding in the course of that first mem- orable year was the frosh amateur program which recalls Burton Anderson and his string quartet, Claus Rohlfs, basso profundo, George Sadler, tap dancing extraordinary, and Reuben Cummings as the major. Also we recall the beginning of our thirty-two-thousand-dollar P, W. A. stadium. Because of the two sessions athletes found it difficult to display their prowess in the field of sports. However, in the all-school track meet at Atlantic City, the local boys under the expert tutelage of Mr, Norman C. Ford, a new member of the faculty, annexed a' second place, star- ring Winsor Cooper, Lou Still, Cliff Hightower, and John Miller The frosh team literally ran away with the Camden Suburban meet when Fred Maurer won the high lump, John Who is that fellow staring out at us from beneath those bushy eyebrows? Why that boy of the puzzled brow is none other than our class president, Lou Hunsicker. ln the photo above are the other important officers of the school: Richard Sauer, the gavel pounder of the senate, is surrounded by Louise Gianunzio, Anna Mae Aherns and Claus Rohlfs, fellow senate and homeroom officers. At the top of the page one observes Jane Hebrew and Susie Le Mar, leaders in musical activities. Sixteen
