Some, how- ever, are no longer in the fight, but have given all they had--for us. Our feeling of painful pride goes deeper than any words, and we are humbled by the thoughts of their sacrifice. Therefore, to all the former stu- dents of Highland Park High School who have given the last full measure of devotion, and to all who still serve, we dedicate this, the 1945 Albadome.

Dear Alumni, With mingled feelings of awe and pride you hesitantly crowded into the spacious auditorium of Highland Park High School on a cool September morn in '41, The roll was called, you marched to your homerooms amid the chides of the seniors and that was the beginning of your high school career. The last of the great torchlight parades was held in your freshman year. Through the streets of old Highland Park myriads of students formed a tribute to the '41 team. Then came the dramatic shock of December 7. The school quickly became war minded, sponsoring various drives to back the military effort. You, ,as feeling frosh, pitched in and did a ter- rific job collecting and repairing pens, gathering books for G. I. libraries was another task you tackled with a will--you brought in a lot of them even if you don't count the Bobbsey Twins. But everything was not painted in the somber hues of war. Remember how you enjoyed the Screwball upperclassmen who went zany and showed up in the guise of the Hungry Seven? Remember how relieved you were when the foot- ball team won the last game of the season-over Metuchen? And do you recall that hilarious tussle between the teachers and parents on the baseball diamond? That ended the year with more than one laugh. Though still counted as an underclassman in '42-'43 you knew Room 210 from 107. You knew that your heart needn't stop beating when you were called down to the office. In other words, you knew your way around. lil 5 I f 12 ul f , 1 Y l I' QQ? Those were great days. Into the Victory Corps you poured all your energies. But after that organization was set up ..., What happened? Nothing. No one knew what to do with it. You might aptly subtitle your sophomore year The rise and decline of the Victory Corps. You, it' you were in the 10-L English class, had a little Hollywood influence. Filming Silar Marvel' was no mean task, especiallyi as you ex- pected M.G.M. to see the movie. And the bas- ketball team couldn't be stopped. They walked vOr:Na:2asH'aE ' -7i?i.l?' ll f'ffi ' 1 1 1 513980 f 1 ' H ui' -' f ll 1 . N. l 5 A1221 l i 1 S ' i Y Milli in l i ., . .

Yo were actually relaxed when you rounded the co ner of Fourth Avenue and saw the Qcrowds wai ing at the door. No more nervous tension mad your palms sweat. So, swaggering a bit, and wit a strut that would be the pride of a drill squa member, you approached your Alma Mater junior. 17? I1 Ixvtf-if' jfi. xxx t 4 x x i As one of the upperclassmen you had a respon- sibility to shoulder. You elected class officers for the hrst time. You could boss the sophs and frosh around--and get away with it. You could march down the center of the halls instead of keeping to the side. You could-but why go on, you know what was done. You did it. A group of your classmates had control of the Highland Fling. Never before had the juniors run the newspaper. That was something you didn't expect. Besides this, you had again in your hands the junior prom. The. year before the and senior dances were combined, this however, you made sure the pride of your e was set for an appearance. Made a good showing, too. Yes it did. The was out of this world. The animals on walls and the lovebirds overhead you thought the best decorations that could possibly be up. is an air about your junior Prom that sets apart from any other dance. Wlaetlmer it was you strung the paper streamers, or because went down to the printer's to get the pro- made up, you felt a certain responsibility making this alfair a success. You were than pleased that everything went along when no one spilled a tray of punch sandwiches or upset a table you took a deep and felt a warm glow of satisfaction inside. Spring of '44 found the school in a political 'l. Democrats, Republicans and independ- all campaigning. Then a sudden coalition the Republicans and Independents sent Democrats into a worried caucus. The results SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Scared: Ruth Weilcr, Phyllis Butrler, Mar- ry Thomas. Standing: Fred Eden, David Knapp. 1. 'sf- 'D-v iff-wr CMXQQR Qs oi , uf g - X. , 3 N O gn Pia .

After making political history, things settled down into routine. You had become accustomed to reading that the enrollment was dwindling every month as more and more boys went into service. Many of you realized that these were your last days under the Albadome. Next year a number of you would not be coming back to this Owls' Nest. A carefree attitude with serious undertones pervades the intimate passage ways of H.P.H.S. You sort of envied the fellows in uniform. Some of you wanted to get into the service, others did not. The service flag went up, and you saw the number of boys already shouldering arms. You saw them-then you joined them. You remember Highland Park High, and this book is just one of the evidences that your school remembers you, the servicemen from the Class ot 'fri if-L 7 S vi EDWARD ALFRED AGNEW Eddie He has looks and friendIim'.v.v to spare.

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICE DANNY 'WELSH Prexidenl FRED RASPA Vice-Prexident GLORIA DE MARCO Serremry GILBERT HOHWALD Treai urer R CLASS OF 1946 The outlook for the class of '46 is very bright, especially in the field of sports. The basketball team was made up almost exclusive of juniors, and they also filled a majority of the positions on the football squad. Both teams were unusually outstanding. Due to the restrictions of the war, the Junior Prom and Senior Ball were combined again this year. This event has proved the main activity for both classes and the juniors pitched in with a will in order to make the affair go over. In addition they did a won- derful job in making their Washington Merry-go-round a success. Another important item to the credit of this class is the sale of war stamps. They have succeeded in keeping up the one hundred per-cent record of the two previous junior classes and therefore have been an important factor in helping the school keep its Minute Man flag flying. This year's junior class has been extremely active in the Student Council and all student projects. They have proved beyond a doubt that they are quite capable of taking over the leadership of the school next year. The Sophomores This year's Sophomore Class has fulfilled last year's promise of success and interest in school activities. The students have shown great enthusiasm in their studies as well as outside activities. This class participated in the Sixth War Bond drive and passed its purchasing goal. Also, the students set and have lived up to a very good record in buying war stamps throughout the year. In the Held of sports, both boys and girls have excelled. The girls have taken part in many interclass games and have been strong rivals of the seniors. The sophomores had representatives on all the varsity and jay-vee teams, and proved invaluable to the victories attained by the teams. The class of '47 has shown great talent in their studies as well as in sports. They have performed many experiments in their classes which proved very successful. Also, they have been easy and pleasant to work with, according to their teachers. Judging from this record, we can look forward to a very able and successful junior class next year. ,4 .. , A., V J- - Y -nas..- ..g......,....-..,,- CLASS OF 1947 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS TOM ADDY BUDDY CATHERMAN A ATT DICK GR V BOB CASAGRANDE JIM CLOVIS H J r Ps A1 mmm i Q.. ,Q , The Freshmen . . . - fini' E IL .

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICER BOB KERRIGAN IRWIN SCHNEIDER JOE DI GIACOMO DAVID EVANS ALLEN ROBBINS CLASS GF 1948 After getting into the swing of life around the high school, the freshman class has shown their ability to cooperate. They have gotten behind the various drives spon- sored by the school, hel ing to make them great successes. During the Sixth War Loan Drive the freshmen made a fine showing by bringing in a larger amount of money than any other class. They have done as well or better than most freshman classes in the sale of war stamps each week. At the end of the first six weeks the Honor Society scholastic plaque went to one of the freshman homerooms. They have been active in high school athletics. With such a good beginning this year's freshman. class shows promise of developing into capable school leaders. lm iii E5 , Fla Q11 I1 Q x - -4 -ixfi-1 V+, M LZ Wm Mm R7 7xYfX GLEE CLUB First row, left to right: Joan Moselowitz, Shirley Sauber, Phyllis De Coster, Joan Nulton, Mary Ann Holaday, Peggy Fort- miller.

FOOTB LL A great Highland Park football team completed the first undefeated season in th history of the school. The Owls, rolling over eight straight opponents, annexed th Group II Central jersey Championship, and took possession of the Little Five Confei ence trophy for the second consecutive year. , The Parkites opened their season by overcoming a mediocre Bound Brook elever 20-0. After a two week lay-off, the Owls trekked to Freehold, heavily favored ove the supposedly weak Farmer eleven. However, a surprisingly stiff battle occurred, an the Lepinemen barely eked out a 12-6 triumph, by virtue of Dave DeLuca's last perio touchdown. In the next tilt, against Keyport, the Owls hit their stride, showing an abundanc of power, and rolled up a 38-14 count as Richie Hauck scored four itimes. Thi encounter served as a warm-up tussle for the Parkites' first home game, against th powerful North Plainfield Canucks. Highland Park's grid forces really reached their peak against the Canucks, funq tioning just about perfectly, and decisively trounced the visitors, 34-7. Dick Van Dorei skirted end for the first touchdown early in the opening quarter, and after that the came often, with the second team also scoring. On the following Saturday the Parkites trav- elled to Scotch Plains to meet their old foe in what proved to be as expected, a very hard- fought contest, The Plainsmen almost nosed out the Owls but finally succumbed by a 9-6 count. Hauck was responsible for the extra point, and Stan Michaelson, husky tackle, for the safety, which provided the margin of victory. Rutgers Prep, the next victim, afforded a field day for the high-Hying Parkites, as nine different men scored. Interceptions, passes, and a blocked kick kept the score going at almost a two point- a-minute clip. At the final gun the score was 75 for the home team and 0 for the Prepsters. The last two games, although not indicated by the scores, were well-fought contests and only the Owls' very efticient scoring punch caused the score to be so high in their favor. These op- ponents, Metuchen and Sayreville, fell, by 38-6 and 37-O scores, respectively. Richie I-lauck, speedy halfback, paced all schoolboy scorers in the county with 119 points. The Owl team racked up a total of 261 points, an average of better than 32 per game, which is -4 points higher than was ever garnered by a former Owl eleven. Those men accorded individual recognition were Fred Raspa, guard, and Hauck, who placed on the All-County second team, and Paul Ochs, tackle, who placed on the third team, as selected by the New Brunswick Daily Home News. George Huber, center, Bob Van Doren back, Jerry Romano, back, and Michaelson earned honorable mention on this team. Other seniors on the team besides DeLuca, the Van Doren twins, Huber, and Ochs were Jim Schuyler and Dan Ruotolo, ends, and Ben Scharf, a back.

Second row: jim Clovis, john Curran, John Steiner Jim Schuyler Connie Atkinson, Stanley Michaelson, Don Tailby, Coach Austin Lepine. The 1944-45 Highland Park High basketball team finished its regular season with a successful record of 13 wins and 6 losses. Aver- aging 40.9 points per game to their opponents' 30.4, the Owls scored a total of 778 counters. One of the highlights of the season was the Parkites' 47-39 tri- umph over a strong South River five in an Infantile Paralysis Benefit tussle. Richie Hauck, star Owl forward, contributed 23 points in the Highland Park win. Hauck's 19 counters also placed the Lepinemen to a thrilling 40-34 victory over a previously unbeaten Carteret quintet. The squad included three seniors, who saw plenty of action during the court campaign. james Schuyler was first team center, while Norman Gray filled one of the forward berths. Bob Van Doren was a valuable man as he was able to play every position. Both Gray and Schuyler left for the service before the completion of the season. The record: H.P.H.S.

TENNIS Once again under the tutelage of Mr. Buschhorn the 1944 tennis team had its usual successful season. Paced by their number one singles player, Richie Hauck, the Owl netmen compiled a record of six wins and two defeats. The two losses suffered by the Parkites came at the hands of the Perth Amboy Reserves whose varsity tennis team ranks as one of the country's best. Highland Park defeated Plainfield, North Plainfield, and Metuchen each twice to account for the six triumphs. Members of the team were Hauck, Herb Breslin, jim Clovis, Connie Atkinson, Stan- ley Meseroll, and Phyllis Hazen. TRACK Although not faring too well in dual meets, the 1944 track team made good showings in the larger school contests. The squad won the Little Five Conference Meet for the first time and placed fourth in the County Meet held at New Brunswick. In the Perth Amboy Relays, the Owl relay team consisting of Bill Campbell, Joe Dimaio, Alvin Rockofi' and Preston Bergen, won both the 440 and 880 events, setting a new county record in the latter. Preston Bergen, who won the 220 yard dash for Group II in the state track meet, and Alvin Rockoff were outstanding as sprinters while jules Kollar proved a very capable half-miler. Other' seniors on the squad included Paul Ochs and john Car- pentieri, two weightmen, and Louis Auer- bach, a half-miler. Herbert Breslin, Phyllis Hazen, Jim Clovis, Richie Hauck, Connie Atkinson 55 im ressive showing BASEBALL The 194-4 edition of the Highland Park High School baseball team completed its season with a record of six wins and seven losses. However, it did have the distinction of tying for the Little Five Conference Championship with Sayreville and Dunellen. Considering that the majority of the Parkite opponents were Group III schools including South River and Bound Brook, ,two of the top diamond combines in New jersey, the 1944 team made an PAfter beating Rutgers Prep 3-2 in their opener, the Owl nine trekked to South River where they absorbed an 8-1 setback. Playing again on their home grounds the Lepinemen drubbed Scotch Plains by an 8-5 margin. First row, left to right: Roger Gravatt, Ira Woodstein, Fred Raspa, Jerry Romano, Tommy De Felice. Second row: Dick Van Doren, Bob Van Doren, Ed Agnew, Matty Eichert, Ben Scharf, john Curran, Sam Raspa. 1 The Parkites had to come from behind to take their next encounter at Woodbridge by a 7-6, score. When the Barons travelled to Highland Park for a return game, the locals won their fourth victory, 6-2, and inaugurated their new diamond at Johnson Park. In another home tussle-the Owls subdued Sayre- ville 2-1, but then they went into a tailspin suffering six consecutive defeats. In the Final game of the year at johnson Park, Ralph Voorhees outpitched joe Kloosterman, Dunellen ace, to give the Parkites n thrilling 2-0 triumph over the Destroyers. y First-string seniors included outfielder Bob Van Doren, first-baseman Bob Kroon, now in the armed forces, and catcher Dick Van Doren. Other seniors on the squad were Roger Gravatt, james Schuyler, Heinz Wisser, Ed Agnew, Ben Scharf and Sam Farlo who is now serving in the Navy. y ., S.- -.,,, - , . C L AQ?
