Green we were, to be sure, but knowing that our class was the largest to enter Hasbrouck High we took courage in the thought, there is safety in numbers. Our first day was indeed an interesting one-the Sophomores glared at us, the juniors smiled pityingly, but the Seniors with such dignity, with such calmness, seemed unconscious of us at all. Here we must note the sad part of our tale-we began the first period of the first day of our first year with Latin. Our class was organized within a week with the aid of our class teachers, Miss Espy and Mr. Filieker. On January 5, we held our first social in the Library Hall, and what ex- citement! Une innocent member bearing a cake was way- laid by masked men and the cake rudely snatched from her. Our Class President, Mr. Ruckert, had been captured and held by the unruly Sophomores. The crowd was not quite as hilarious as usual. The Sophomores had beaten us. 'l'hen, in the midst of it all, we heard sounds from the kitchen. Our ice cream had been stolen! Oh! they are really, truly bad boys, exclaimed our shy Miss Ham. But, as the proverb goes, Variety is the spice of life. and we had variety enough to last us a lifetime. The lireshmen-Sophomore debate found us again in bat- tle-garb, but we were defeated, on the' familiar question of Compulsory Military Training. Our second year started with decreased members but with increased pep. Our first event was a very originallial- lowe'en Party. In this we set an example which all classes followed and a general awakening spread- thru .the school. llut our energies were not confined to social functions only 1 with a great deal of enthusiasm we prepared for a debate with the Freshmen. Our team made us victorious while our songs and cheers made us famous. Our class now became interested in athletics, and natu- rally we led in all sports. Now everyone admitted that the Class of 1920 was well started upon its career. lly this time we, too, began to feel our age and we must have shown it for we were pronounced calmed by faculty verdict. At last our Freshmen dreams were realized, we were juniors. Mr. Cohen was our Class President. At first he was very bashful, but having learned to dance, he determined to practice on us, so every two weeks we had a social. This lasted only a few months, however, for lXlr. Cohen soon be- came proficient in the art. A prominent event in the history of our class, at this period, was the entrance of Miss List into our midst. Luck- ily she is still with us and talks just as much as she did when a Junior. At this time, too, we found we had been entertaining a genius unawares. Miss lleales, one of our most most nota- ble members, was awarded the first prize in a short-poem contest. Iiefore the close of the school year, the town held a track meet for the high school. Silver and bronze medals were awarded to the winners of each event, while a banner was presented to the class having the greatest number of points. ln triumph we bore home this banner and marked the close of our junior year with a victory. XYe are now Seniors! old, wise Seniors! This is the last and best of four happy years. XVe are no longer silly Freshmen, foolish Sophomores, conceited Juniors: we are the honorable Seniors. This year our ranks were increased by our union with the other division of pupils who will graduate in 1920. The oliieers are as follows: President, Francis Domi- I1 'l'l'l11'l 'V lll'l l.ll.l.l.l.ll.l.l.l.l.l.l.l nickg Vice-President, Marion Rafi: Secretary, Henrietta List: Treasurer, Michael Bilas. The first event on the program was the Senior Dance at the Library Hall. Then, having had our good time. we turned to more serious aiiairs, befitting our age and dignity. XVe are proud of our members who have so ably repre- sented us in the various school activities. The debating teams which won for our high school these. victories were composed entirely of Seniors: tirst team, Peter Cohen, Russell Gokey. Carl Lalumia, alternate. Michael Bilas: second team, Peter Cohen, Marion ltatif. Carl Lalumia, alternate, Michael llilas. The winners of the first prizes in the Eleventh Annual Prize Speaking Contest were Henrietta List and Russel Gokey. During the four years of our high school life, our class has been known as the class that does things. NYC have worked hard, for we have been guided by our motto. Finix Corona! Opus.

RUSSIEI 1. filllil-IY . -M - ' 1 1 'r W ' 1 i ' Lll Y H TEN YEARS HENCE THE PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1920 I was wandering about aimlessly thru the streets of New York, when suddenly a feeling of curiosity crept over me-a feeling to investigate everything that attracted my attention. Led on by this impulse I found myself in a great hall, surrounded by a crowd of people who were wildly yelling and throwing their hats into the air. In the center was a boxing ring, with jack Dempsey lying unconscious on the floor, and another man standing over him, smiling, with folded arms. Somehow that smile looked familiar. The ref- eree came to his side and in a loud, authoritative voice, shouted, By virtue of his having knocked out .lack Demp- sey in 35 seconds, Steven Daniels is hereby proclaimed the u'orld's heavy-weight champion boxer. The great crowd left, and among them a woman, tall and straight, with a mass of auburn hair piled high upon her head. Her sealskin cap she drew a little closer when leaving the building. There's the girl that married the multi-millionaire last week, I heard someone say. She stopped at the door, where a Salvation Army Lassie was standing in the neat little uniform of a commander. XYhy, Tessie Magocsyf' exclaimed she of the auburn hair, you here? l hear you are the successor of Evangel- ine Booth. How wonderful! You must come to see me and tell me all about it. They parted, the former entering -., a limousine, which after a few minutes stopped before a large millinery establishment. In big gold letters the sign over the door read, Mademoiselle Le Noir. Latest Styles From Paris. As milady entered. I found her to be Mary Steegar. QI might have known before, as there is only one girl with that color hairj She advanced toward Ulvlademoiselle Le Noir and, smiling, said, Bon jour. S'il vous plait, etc. llut the chic Mademoiselle was no other than May Greenstein! I left them and on passing down the street I saw a small boy running as fast as he could. Curiously, I followed him to school and into the classroom. The teacher looked familiar. Surely I knew her. liureka! lt was Anna Fish. The small boy began to speak-a fine, sturdy little fellow, too. Yes, he said, Mother says that Daddy is an ideal husband, for he neither drinks, swears, nor smokes, and is never out later than nine o'clock any night. And who is your father? someone asked. Billy Bridgewater: and l'm Billy llridgewater, Jn! After leaving the school I walked down the stregt and was attracted by a great shouting coming from the' Polo grounds. Quickly I made my way there and arrived just in time to see an exciting event in a game between the Robins of Brooklyn and the Giants of New York. The pitcher threw the ball and the man at home plate gave it a mighty whack! It disappeared in the distance and the batsman made a home run, thus winning the game. The onlookers went wild. A second Babe Ruth ! Long live the hero! Yea, llilas! So Michael was a profes- sional baseball player? XYell! XVell! The game was over and, in the silence, I could plainly hear the tinkling of a piano, with such sweet strains of harmony, that I could not resist going to find the musician. As I approached I found the building to be the Metropoli- tan Opera House. Suddenly, a clear, sweet voice rose above the harmony. The audience, scarcely daring to breathe, held their breath, listening in ecstasy to the world's most famous singer, Dorothea Calhoun, accompanied by the accomplished pianist. Vivian Ham. XVill surprises never end F said I to myself. Extra! Extra! I next heard an excited newspaper boy shouting. Extra! Extra! All about the great XVest- ern fire which was raging thrn the forests until Five and one-half seconds ago. Extra! Extra! Here, sonny. here, I cried: and I soon found myself reading the headlines. Howard Hettger, forester and also an expert hunts- man, thru whose efforts the great XVestern fire has been extinguished, has been officially cited by the U. S. Govern- ment and is to be decorated with the Distinguished Service Cross for bravery under fire. Quickly I glanced over the other headlines, and in let- ters equally as large I read: A great plot to overthrow the U. S. Government has been laid bare by the famous New Jersey detective, Thomas Ingui. Tommy a detective? Gee whistikers! XYhoever would have suspicioned it? Then my eye fell upon an announcement of the open- ing of a great circus. Now I had always wanted to see a circus, so dropping the paper I started on a run for Madison Square Garden. It wasn't long before I found that two men were chasing me. I began to run faster. My pursuers did the same. On we flew, dodging cars and autos and wagons and people and everything. Every time I looked back I saw that the men were gaining. I became terrified and heedless of where I was going. I bumped into a big policeman. Off course he stopped me, and try as I would I could not get away. Save me! Save me ! I begged him. Those two men have been following me! Save me! The two men in question, one a stout man, and the other a slim one, came up panting but smiling. With a XVe see dignified and triumphant air. the stout one said. you are in trouble. Perhaps we can be of service to you ? and he handed me a card. This calm assurance nearly took my breath away. and just as I was about to burst out into a torrent of indigna- tion, the slim man hastened to explain, You see, we saw I r mr you running and thought that perhaps you were in trouble. If in any way you happen to need any expert lawyers, you can stop at the address on the card. lloth bowed courteously, and after wishing me a good afternoon, departed arm in arm. I glanced at the card. lt read: 1 Lain. -I. I..xi.UM1.x K M.xRiNUs GALANTI La.ruyf'rs Office 179, 531 NV. Hocokiocus Street, N. Y. City Hut I wanted to see the circus, so again I started for Madison Square-walking this time, however. It was not long before l came upon a line of people that extended in an unbroken line for three solid blocks. Each one had some musical instrument under his arm. Curiously I followed the line to a doorway, over which a sign read, The famous professor of music. Professor Rhinesmith. lfive-minute lessons only fifty dollars. Something whispered in my ear that Russel was accu- mulating a young fortune. At last I arrived at the circus, and it was a circus from beginning to end with the acrobats, and horsemen, and clowns and dancers. lint the one that interested me the most was the owner of the circus. He was strutting around the ring in a checkerboard suit, with a sparkling diamond as big as a golf ball stuck in his tie, a pink tie that made a strange contrast to his reddish hair. l-le could mimic people and crack jokes and-I caught my breath, could it-possibly be-XYallace Conover? tireat guns! Une of the acrobats suddenly fell and was hurriedly removed to a hospital. I found myself in a hallway, with a door on either side of me. On one door was the name James Chastney, Osteopathf' I opened the door to call for assistance, but the first thing that met my eye was a skeleton! A shudder ran through me and I closed the door. Turning to the room on the opposite side I read, Peter K. Cohen, M. D., Surgeon. This door I opened and beheld some saws and chisels and hammers and axes and-I didn't look further. I decided to go outdoors for a little air. As I left the hospital, a large touring car flew past, and in it I recognized Marion Raff, looking as dignified, and learned as it was possible for her to look. I watched her until she was out of sight, wondering what she was doing. Someone, seeing my perplexity. volunteered that she was the new President of Vassar College. On passing a newspaper stand, l bought a magazine on Good House Keeping. It was all about how to keep the house comfortable and cozy and gave recipes of cookies and cakes and candies, etc. I turned to the editorial page and saw printed there in large letters, Editor, Ethel Nicholas. On the following page was a picture of a girl with dreamy blue eyes, whose hair was bobbed in Greenwich Yillage fashion. Looking at the postcript I found her to he an artist whose wonderful paintings had already found their way into the Museum of Art-julia Kelemen. All this time it had been getting dark, until now the moonlight tiooded the whole scene. Strolling down Fifth Y l v 7' vii Avenue l was attracted to a gaily lighted house from which the sounds of merriment, music and laughter floated out upon the evening breeze. Irresistibly I was drawn towards it. The first thing I heard was a conversation in which the name Miss Yandervilt was mentioned quite frequently, as about to go abroad. But the thing that interested me the most was that her private secretary, Miss Virginia llarnes, was lo accompany her. I.ucky girl! Now, I tell you, I heard another voice say, which was strikingly familiar, it's necessary for the price of silk fo go up because of the shortage of labor and materials. I, being the biggest silk merchant in the country, ought to know: so don't try to argue. The biggest silk merchant in the country-Ted Ruckert-for it was no other than he! l ventured to look around, and immediately my eyes rested upon a group of men and women, in the center of which .vas a young lady. They were all beseeching her to recite some of the poems that she had recently written. Others were begging her to write a verse in their auto- graphs. And who was this popular poet? Peggy lleales. Over to one side of the room there was another gather- ing. which from all appearances was having a lively political discussion. Drawing near I heard an argument upholding the Democratic principles given by a man whom the people called The Ambassador. The refutation was given by a woman who was called The Speaker and who made little the Democratic platform and praised the Republican. Desiring to find out more about these two, I began to make inquiries. The man. I found. was the American Ambassa- dor to England, who had just returned from that country. t'Yes, but who is he? I asked. The great diplomat, Francis Dominick, was the reply. And who is the woman ? I questioned. I.and sakes! Don't you know her? was the astonished exclamation. XYhy, she's the first woman Speaker of the IIULISC of Representatives that we've had. That's Henrietta I.ist. Finding nothing further of interest. I passed out again into the night. Theatre-goers were just coming home, and from their remarks I gathered that they had just seen one of the best plays ever written and acted. just simply wonderful, words can't describe the play.' was one remark I overheard. I bet that the one who wrote that play will be one of the most successful scenario writers ever produced, said another. lly the way, who did write it? asked still another. Ruth Coyle, I believe, was the answer. Hut, exclaimed a girlish .voiee, wasn't the hero just too cute for anything ? just perfectly darling! was the next exclamation I heard. XVhat words of wisdom Howed from his mouth, and how he rolled his r's, a studious voice broke in. And wasn't he a dear when he ejaculated, 'Some- thing's rotten in the state of Denmark? ' l found myself at the theatre.. There was a tall man, in a full-dress suit, with a high silk hat, swinging a cane nonchalantly, who left the stage-door and entered a little Ford. mlll1C1'C goes the hero now, said a voice beside me. Now, l had had a good many strange experiences that day and had withstood them bravely. Hut when I dis- covered that the dear, darling, wise, cute little hero was none other than F. Russel Gokey-the shock was too much. I woke up. Mmm STizvENs THREE GUESSES-WAS HE A SENIOR? Miss D--: This book tindicating a rather torn rol- ume whieh lay on the deskl must be yours, S--.

Ll TRUE AMERICANISM The mist rested heavily on that dismal gray morning in May. It was early, the sun had just begun to creep above the horizon, and, piercing the enveloping fog, cast its rays upon a scene, already too familiar in the hearts of many. lt was lfranee, stricken France, in 1919. The sun- beams, stealing thru that curtain of dew and damp, fell upon a man's face. He was lying on the battlefield of Mons, still, silent, his features distorted, his head bloody. As the mist lifted, the form of another man could be seen, silent, still, prostrate. lioth were wounded, near to each other, yet between them lay a gap-one was a Yank: the other a llun: one a private: the other an ofiicer. The sun was high in the heavens when the eyes of the American private opened. l-le looked about, raised himself on one elbow and clutched his throat with his fingers. For twenfv long hours he had been lying there, with a bullet in his right shoulder, another in his knee. Twenty long, dark hours-without food or drink. 'His fingers tore apart his collar-band: he was dying-dying of thirst. Oh! where were those companions of yesterday? XVhy didn't they come to help him? .lust then he heard a sigh, the sigh of a sufferer. He was not the only one who had fallen before that storm of fire. Again he heard that sigh: it came from someone on his left. lie turned his head, and there, scarcely a foot away. lay an officer, in gray. Ah! A Hun, perhaps the one who had wounded him! Making a mighty effort, he raised himself once more. XYhat was that? A Hask-the Hun was grasping a flask. Thru the mind of the khaki-clad lad passed thoughts of a drink, water, and end to his thirst. He leaned over. stretched out his hand and took the bottle from the fingers of his neighbor, and, muttering a short prayer of thanks, raised the bottle to his lips. He was about to drink, when the German awoke and cried for help. A drink, my God. a drink! he pleaded. I am dying: help me. save me. Uh! God, give me water! The Yank paused, he took the fiask from his lips. Here was a man, about to die, the blood streaming from the bullet hole in his head. He asked for help, yet he knew that he couldn't live. And there was the lad in brown: Wounded, yes, but he might live: help would reach him, he felt sure. He raised himself a third time: but how hard it was, his strength was ebbing slowly away! tirasping the flask tightly in his hand, he moved it towards the fainting one's lips. Comrade, he said, drink: this is yours. l-le drank, and when he had finished, stretched out his hand and grasped the other's tenderly. My son, he said. I am going: yet with me I will take the memory of an American friend. l'lTfI1ITTI l ' V ' ' a W ' ' -1----- --------H -Yv- ' 1 Lad,,' he said, may God bless-. ' He stopped suddenly, his face grew pale, and he fell back upon the ground-dead. That is the story of a True American, that is the tale of what any True American would have done. That young man knew that the officer could not live. Moreover, he was a Hun, an enemy. Yet, that lad did not hesitate. VVhy? llecause a great, invisible spirit had spoken to him-the spirit of Humanity, the spirit of,True American- ism. Five times the Government asked for Vlfar Loans, and five times the people gaveg five times the quota was ex- ceeded. NVhy? Because that same spirit, that invisible, invincible power had moved them-Americanism. Thousands of aliens have flocked to our shore, seeking what could not be found in any other country-freedom. lllany of these become citizens, patriotic Americans. great men perhaps. Leaving their native haunts, they seek America-the Beacon of Liberty, and when the call comes, they light for her, and die for her. In a message to New Americans, Vlfoodrow NVi1son said: You have taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. Of allegiance to whom? Of allegiance to no one, unless it be of God. Certainly not of allegiance to those who temporarily represent this great Government. You have taken an oath of allegiance to a great ideal, to a great body of principles, to a great hope of a human race. There is but one longing and utterance of the human heart, and that is for liberty and justice. From 1776 We have grown, from thirteen colonies to forty-eight states, held together in one Union: from three millions of people to over one hundred and ten millions of people. lfVe have fought four foreign wars, and a civil war, of the greatest proportions ever recorded on the pages of history. And yet we have united those battling sections by an indissolube tie. A foreigner slanders America, and suffers duly for it. Vvhy? Because, as Theodore Roosevelt, great American, said, As long as strength is given to us with cool heads and fearless hearts we shall war unceasingly against what is evil and for what is good, so as to bring nearer the day when justice shall be done every man, every woman and every child within the borders of the great free common- wealths to which we belong. A' America,,' as Francis Trevelyan Miller has so uniquely put it, is, like a great sleeping giant-with its head at the North Pole, and its feet at the South Pole: who arises and stands today like Atlas supporting the world on his shoul- ders. This is America-the land which in the next genera- tion is to be the dynamic force behind civilization. The world is looking towards America, the face of every nation, great or small, is turned upon this country of ours. And, in turn, America looks to its citizens, its patriots. It is they who must lead the world of tomorrow. 4- M-W .- A ,. - - ,, Y It is they, imbued with the spirit of yesterday, the spirit of the men of '76, who must hold high the light and guide the other peoples down the broken stairway into the years to come. Here is where East and NYest, the palm and the pine, the pole and the equator, the crescent and the cross, must meet, and thus with their heads bowed before that spirit of l.iberty-Justice-Equality, unite, using the words of Israel Zangwill, To build the Republic of Man and the Kingdom of God. True Americanism is a power, a moving spirit, an un- seen force. It has built up this country to where it stands today, at the ladder's top, supreme, financially and com- mercially, economically, morally and spiritually. This great tower of strength was born, at least, into the realms of knowledge, in one of the darkest periods in racial history, when men were burdened by monarchistic rule, and held in the shackles of the kings of Europe. America's discovery saved the civilization of Europe. john Fiske says: lt saved the race from a cataclysm, for it came to it as good news comes to a man on the point of committing suicide. No man ever left for America in the 16th, 17th or 18th centuries with the idea that his ancestors would grow to be stronger than he, or merge into a race with men who were his enemies. His idea was the founding of the oft- repeated phrase, True Americanism, the idea of liberty and peace. VVe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal: that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. From the Declara- tion of Independence of 1776. And on that principle America has grown: from those first two hopes, peace and liberty, have come tolerance, sympathy, confidence and freedom. Freedom-that word has become linked with the great- est Americans, its statesmen, its generals. Patrick Henry sounded that note in those immortal words: Give me liberty, or give me death. When Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, he sent that echo of liberty, of true Americanism, into every hut. every mansion, every cabin of the South. Cn April 6, 1917, America entered the W'orld War. and within two years that voice of freedom had torn thru the realm of Germany, thru the lacquered portals of Berlin, and into the VVilhelm Strasse, into the Shonbrunn Palace. America will never stand for such principles as Prussia upheld. In size, alone, we could lay Germany down upon the State of Texas, and Texas would remain uncovered. And no smaller in size than its territory is this country of ours with its commanding spirit of True Americanism, and its ideals embodied in Old Glory. VVe do not mean the ideals of the Red flag, nor the hopes of those men who seek, by overthrowing the Federal Government, to establish a True Democracy, a govern- ment of Victor llergers or linnna Goldmans. They are the enemies of liberty, justice, and equality, as we see them. as are set forth in our Declaration of Independence, our Con- stitution, our Emancipation Proclamation. These men and women would have us set up a shaky, skeleton government, of hollow ideals and unbased and disloyal principles. They have the wrong conception of Amerieanism, theirs is a False Americanisn1, an uAll'l6I'lCZllllSl11', that must, and will be, stamped out. America stands out today as the supreme nation, the superior force. America is the hope of the peoples of all the earth. America is foremost, to her comes the duty to lead, to guide in the paths of Democracy the faltering foot- steps of other nations. Aiiierica needs you, are you help- l l'l'lll'll ing? Are you answering that call, that is echoed from coast to coast? Are you imbued with the invisible, in- vincible spirit, True Americanism? America, last hope of man and truth, l Thy name must thru all the coming ages be i The badge unspeakable of shame and ruth, 5 Or glorious pledge that man thru truth is free. This is thy destiny: the choice is thine To lead all nations and outshine them all :- But if thou failest: deeper shame is thine, And none shall spare to mock thee in thy fall. Frz.xNt'1s DoM1NIc K, '20 ORCHESTRA T The High School Orchestra has attained this year the height of perfection. It is composed of twelve members, under the able leadership of Mr. Hagaman. At assemblies and other school functions it has rendered selections which liave been greeted with much applause. The appreciation of the High School was shown in the donation of over 34300, raised by popular subscription to defray all expenses of music and instruments. Much praise is due Mr. Haga- man and those who have worked so faithfully for the enjoy- ment of the school and community. GIRLS' UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATION Two years ago, the Girls' L'ndergraduate Association was formed for the purpose of inculcating good feeling and school spirit among the students. That such an organiza- tion was needed in the school was shown by its immediate success. This year the membership has increased, and the work has been carried on with great enthusiasm. The officers are as follows: President, Marion Raff, '20: Vice- l'resident, Margaret lleales, 'ZOQ Secretary, Mary Steegar, 'ZOQ Treasurer, Henrietta List, '2O. Ample opportunities are given for social events as well as serious discussions of school activities. Regular meet- ings are held once a month. Every ten weeks a joint meet- ing with the Girls' Alumnae is provided. There are also meetings with the Boys' I.'Esprit de I.'Ecole. The Asso- ciation is rapidly realizing its aims and promises to be a valuable influence in the school in the future. as L'ESPRIT DE L'ECOLE The lflisprit de Iflicole is an organization which has as its members the boys who have in mind one thing and that is the promotion and progress of the High School in educational and athletic lines. The main object of the organization is to instil in the minds of its members the spirit of co-operation and good-will. The word l.'Esprit itself is the French word for spirit. ln order to live up to our motto we hold meetings at which current school questions are brought up and dis- cussed. Our social gatherings are enjoyed immensely. There are thirty-five members in the L'Esprit. Twelve of these members were admitted during this school year. The officers are: President, Michael Hilas: Vice-Presi- dent,. NVilliam Bridgewater: Secretary, Russell tiokey: Treasurer, John Dolan. .. I. i l l V l1'l'f HPY A new organization. known as the Hi-Y Club of H. H. H. S., was formed in the High School in January. lt is under the supervision of an Advisory Committee of four local men, and the County Y. M. C. A. Secretary for lloys' Work, J. N. llrown. The President is james Chastney, q THE SENIOR The lirst or Pine Tree Patrol was organized by girls from the class of 1920, under the leadership of Miss Under- hill, over two years ago. Vie were so enthusiastic and happy about our scout work that other classes immediately followed suit, altho we have always been called the Senior Patrol. ' Our organization this year consists of Miss F. Espy, Captain: Marion Ratt, Patrol leader: Henrietta List, Cor- poral, Mary Steegar, Patrol Nurse, Margaret Beales, Doro- tliea Calhoun, Ethel Nicholas, and Mima Stevens. CLUB jr., '20, Yice-Presidents, Theodore Ruckert, '20, Herbe1't Ulrich, ,211 Secretary, .Albert List, '2l: Treasurer, Fred Depken, '2l. The object is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the -school and community high standards of Christian character. The slogan is, Clean speech, clean sports, and clean scholarship. GIRL SCOUTS life have three second-class scouts, Henrietta List, Ma- rion Raff, and Mary Steegar. Henrietta List holds the patrol record for earning the greatest number of merit badges. Our Patrol together with the Sophomore Patrol held an interesting and enjoyable farewell hike and picnic for ex- Captain Underhill last summer, at which time we presented her with a Scout Thanks Badge. This year we have enthu- siastically welcomed our new Captain, Miss Espy. NVQ: have had many good times together which we cannot help but miss when we leave high school. WA4 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association, the backbone of all athletics, served the school most splendidly thruout the year. Thru lllr. Doolittle's earnest efforts the financial affairs of the association were well managed. For the benefit of the dif- ferent branches of athletics, the lloard of liducation donated to the association 25296 for the baseball season, S350 for a dressing room. which has been erected on I.emmer- man Park. and S100 for other expenses. The Passing Show of 1920. which also was given for the benefit of the Athletic Association, made an increase of 55263.40 in the treasury. The offices of the A. A. were successfully administrated by Theodore Ruckert, '20 1PresidentH: Henrietta List, '20 tVice-Presidentj, and James Ii. Chastney, jr., '20 QSecrc- taryj. FOOTBALL The football team of 1920 had one of the most inter- esting and most successful seasons ever known to Has- brouck High School. The hearty co-operation of the student body was a strong element in making the team a success. Nine games were played during the season and we lost such games as Hackensack, Englewood and Passaic only by a narrow margin. The team was coached by Francis tl. Scarr and managed by james Chastney, '20. The play- ers of the Class of 1920 who received the block letters were: Stephen Daniels Cffaptainj, Theodore Ruckert, Michael Bilas, hvllliftlll Bridgewater, Russell Gokey, and james Chastney. - ...W 3 -..wa -. F BASEBALL The baseball season has started out with a bang. A great deal of interest has been shown by the student body and the boys who intend to make a good showing in the league this year. Peter Cohen. '20, manager, has arranged a full schedule for the year. Francis J. Scarr and jack Martin, coaches, are doing their best to make the team a success. The appearance of the nine, on the diamond, with brand new suits and equipment, furnished by the Board, was a gratifying surprise. So far, the boys have won seven of the ten games played-truly a remarkable record. We hope that the remainder of the season will be as successful. The senior boys who play on the team are: Michael lglilas, Captain: Theodore Ruekert, Vtfilliam Bridgewater, Thomas Ingui, Stephen Daniels, Marinus Galanti. BOYS' BASKETBALL The schedule of the boys' basketball season consisted of seventeen games, sixteen being' with League teams, and thc other game with the State Normal at Montclair. Although the scores do not show the majority of games won, they demonstrate what a small school is able to do a--'ainst institutions of ffreater size such as Passaic Envle- B Q v ' ' as wood, Hackensack, Rutherford and Ridgewood. VVallace Adamson coached and Russell Gokey, '20, managed the team, 011 which Thomas Ingui, Michael Bilas, and XVilliam Bridgewater of the Class of 1920 played and received the double H. nn ' ' 'Y' ' 'l'1TlTTl'lT' Y' ' T TTY gym'- S . l.l.l.l.Q,l.l vn -I-,www , GIRLS' BASKETBALL The gymnasium of the Pioneer Club was obtained for the teams during the basketball season. Much enthusiasm was shown by all classes making the practises most inter- esting. Margaret lleales, '20, arranged an excellent sched- ule for the year. Fifteen games were played, of which twelve were with league teams. Altho the schools played were larger, the majority of the games were victories for Hasbrouck Heights. Miss XX'alker, coach, deserves much credit for the effort and interest she put into her work. The senior girls who received their letters were: Mar- garet Beales, Marion Ratt, Ruth Coyle, Mima Stevens and Henrietta List. The seniors were most successful in the interclass basketball events, defeating the juniors by a score of 15-4. As a result, they received the silver trophy cup, on which their name has been placed. 1920 INTERSCI-IOLASTIC DEBATES A big victory of the year was the winning of a silver cup in recognition of having defeated all other schools in our group in the Rutgers lnterscholastic Debating Contest. The first debate was held March 19, at Ridgefield Park. Our team, consisting of lleter Cohen, '20, rebuttal leader: Russel tiokey, '20: Carl lillllllllil, '203 and Michael llilas. '20, alternate, upheld the negative side of the question: Resolved, that the United States should establish a pro- tectorate over Mexico similar to that over Cuba. Our debaters proved themselves superior to their opponents in knowledge of the subject, logical reasoning, and refutation. The next step was to meet North Plainfield. winner of the North Plainfield-Bound llrook debate, April 30, in the High School Auditorium. This time it was our task to prove that immigration to the United States should be prohibited for a period of at least tive years. This was done so successfully by our debaters, Peter Cohen, '20, rebuttal leader: Marion Raft, '20g Carl J. Lalumia, ,2O, and Michael Bilas, '20, alternate, that Hasbrouck Heights was again victorious. At both debates the school backing was strong, and the cheers and songs vigorous. The members of the team, and Miss Loosen, who coached them, are to be congratu- lated for bringing this victory to Hasbrouck High. -.. l .LLL f H R but A U PRIZE SPEAKING CGNTEST, 1920 The lfleventh Annual l'rize Speaking Contest was held May 17, in the Franklin School Auditorium, under the auspices of the Senior Class. The contestants, four girls and four boys, who had been chosen from the large number who had entered the prelimiifary contest in March, showed ability and careful training: The judges awarded the gold THE PASS The Passing Show of 1920 was held Friday evening, April 23, in the Franklin School Auditorium. This enter- taimnent was unanimously pronounced the best ever given in lfranklin School. The cast was unusually large, includ- ing over one hundred high school pupils, the songs were catchy. and the scenery and the costumes most pleasing. I medals to Henrietta l.ist, '20, and Russell fiokey, '2O: the silver medals to Llewellyn Lansing, '22, and llscar Schwi- detzky, '22. The contestants, as well as Miss Ifspy and Miss Diercks, who trained them. deserve great praise for the success of this contest. The auditorium was suitably decorated for the occasion. NG SHOW Financially the entertainment was a great success, the receipts being 95263.40 This amount was presented to the Athletic Association. Miss XYalker, who directed and coached the show, and Miss lispy, who acted as business manager, well merited the praise which was nnstintedly bestowed. II'l1l1I'l'l'Yi'l'l'l'l'I'I'l'TI'Y'l'l'l11'l g 'lTY1TfTI1ifTl1YTTTITflTY11I 'l TI'l ll'l SENIOR DAY Senior Day, as given by the Senior Class of 1920, on the afternoon of May 27th, was in many ways different from those which preceded it. This, of course, is no more than could be expected as the class does things differently whenever possible. An entertainment, prepared by the class, was presented before the rest of the High School and a number of interested visitors. The entertainment began with a parade of the Seniors around the auditorium. To the accompaniment of inspiring music, the class entered, a long, straight line of boys and girls, the boys interspersed and almost lost among the girls, little girls, big girls, pretty girls all, all forming part of the center of attraction and therefore all in their element and presenting smiling, happy faces. But-who were these girls? Surely they Weren't the Seniors! XYhy, no one ever saw such short dresses, such beautiful big sashes, so many faces surrounded and almost hidden by masses of brunette, blond or auburn curls only partly restrained by big red ribbons, in the Senior Class of a high school. They must be Freshmen! Yet the dresses were white and the ribbons and sashes red. These were the real Senior colors. And there was the crimson and white banner at the head of the line. The line divided and the little girls went into the row of seats usually occupied by the grown-up Senior girls and the boys into another row. They turned around and faced the audience. The girls were the Senior. W , So the successful parade was followed by a successful class song and then by the old class cheer- Pep, Pep, Pep, a-plenty, Hasbrouck High School-1920! Hardly had the applause stopped when the class presi- dent, Francis Dominick, mounted the platform and an- nounced the next number on a program which was full of fun from beginning to end.

A ever a vivid and ever-present remembrance of Senior Day. , THE SENIORS' TRIP TO WEST POINT lt cannot be said that the weather of May 28, the day chosen for the Seniors' trip to lYest Point, was perfect. '.l'he river was enshrouded in mist during the morning and the land was decidedly warm. but it did not rai11 and the sail home was sunny and cool. All the girls of the class were present, but a number of the boys did not come along, thinking perhaps that a military training academy for boys was of far more interest to girls than to them. The class with Miss lispy started on the 7:45 trolley and landed at the 130th Street pier in just convenient time: for, almost as soon as the tickets had been bought, the Xl'ashington lrving came into sight thru the mist.

Al- most immediately everyone of the party must start to ex- I'l'TY1'l'l'I'l 'T plore the boat and to take pictures. This continued till al- most the time of the arrival at XVest Point three hours later, when a hasty lunch was eaten just before landing.
