P. C. A. Page Twenty THE RETROSPECT History of the Class of 1932 I HIRTY-two was not officially organized as a class until the beginning of the Sophomore year. At that time the class elected Thomas Forsythe, President; Isobel Drummond, Vice-President; Ruth Middleton, Secretary, and William Beattie, Treasurer. Although not holding many social functions, the class was active in athletics. It was during this year that the class colors of Blue and White were chosen. Mr. Mitchell, Thirty-two’s official Faculty Adviser, was assisted by Mrs. Rudolph and Mrs. Clark. With the Junior Year, came the election of new officers. Those elected were: Clark Vogel. President; Ellsworth Schug, Vice-President; Virginia Martin, Secretary; Fred Heeseman, Treasurer. Thirty-two’s third year proved an active one, for they held many affairs, including the Junior-Senior Dance. Mr. Mitchell, Mrs. Rudolph, Miss Potter, and Mr. Zuman served as Faculty Advisers. Entering their last year, Thirty-two resolved to make it a banner one. Ellsworth Schug, President; Donald Burgess, Vice-President; Natalie Plumstead, Secretary, and Fred Heeseman, Treasurer, are leading the Senior Class. Mr. Mitchell is assisted this year by Miss Hinman and Miss McKeever as Faculty Advisers. The goal of the class was, of course, the Washington Trip and the Year Book. They set out early in the year to gain the necessary financial aid for both projects. The Senior Plays played an important part in this. “The Londonderry Air,” “The Red Owl, and “The Wedding” proved to be credits to the ability of Thirty-two. In Inter-Class Basketball the Senior Boys came out on top, while the girls were runners-up. The Faculty—Senior Games were the highlights of the season. In April, Thirty Two put on the famous Radio Assembly, which won praise from the school. Shortly after came the successful card party that their mothers gave. Now comes the biggest event of the year—The Washington Trip! Three whole days in the Nation’s Capital! Then upon our return, Exams, and—Commencement—The Senior Prom—and Thirty-two will no longer be together physically. Physically only, for in spirit there will be no separation. THE RETROSPECT Page Twenty-one The Senior Plays f THE evenings of November 20th and 21st, the class of 1932 presented three one-act plays. In “The Red Owl, a melodrama, Natalie did some effective shooting to save the bonds of her husband from her villainous brother. The second play, “The Londonderry Air, depicted the influence of an Irish tune on the life of the heroine. The third, “The Wedding, deals with the havoc a mere misplaced collar button makes when lost during preparations for the wedding.

Betty Graff Page Twenty-two THE RETROSPECT The Washington Trip EIGHT forty-four that memorable morning-, seventy-seven Seniors left the B. 0. Station at Elizabeth. After a long ride on the train we arrived at the Union Station in Washington. Filing into buses the gang was taken to the well-known (?) Cairo Hotel. After a short rest period we started on a trip up the Potomac River to Mt. Vernon. Before the delightful inspection of Washington’s old homestead, Mt. Vernon, a photographer, at his own risk, took a picture of these 77 said Seniors. After returning to the hotel that evening we had a fine southern meal, after which we went to the Congressional Library. In the Periodical Room we read an account of Roselle Park’s defeat at the hands of Hillside’s crack debaters. Leaving the Library by its massive steps we were momentarily stilled by the l eautiful sight of the Capitol lit up by many spotlights. That night after our return from the Library we had quite a lot of fun raising cain—(ask the boys in rooms 308-10-12). The next morning after breakfast we went on a tour of the city passing many beautiful and historically valuable mansions. Upon crossing over the Francis Scott Key memorial bridge we entered the Arlington Cemetery and viewed the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Arlington Memorial Amphitheatre. From the cemetery we went to the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. From there we went to the Zoological Park. By the way, has anylxxly ever seen a Buffalo nickel? Well, we did one better by seeing—Buffalo quarters, also “Buffalo Bill,” Senator Borah on horseback. After lunch we went to the impressive Scottish Rites Temple and, from there, swimming or to the movies. That night we had a dance in the lobby of the hotel. The next morning we visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the White House, Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute, Pan American Union Building, and the U. S. Capitol. An appetizing meal, a free afternoon, a short bus ride to the station, a long ride home on the train finished the Senior Washington Trip. Yea !! Did we have fun! By the way, did you ever hear the story of the chicken? Oh well, let it lay ! ! Advice to the Class of ’33 Kill all house dicks immediately on your arrival. Don’t see the Washington Monument by foot. Don’t take along a portable victrola. Don’t try dancing on the train. .

FRESHMAN CLASS THE RETROSPECT Page Twenty-seven Class History 35 A common destiny makes us brothers, None goes his way alone; Whatever we put into the lives of others, Comes back into our own. f JN JUNE twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred thirty-one, two hundred and seventy pupils received their passports admitting them to embark upon the first cruise of a four year journey in quest of higher education. The auditorium was crowded with relatives and friends wishing us “bon voyage.” The program was as follows: DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES_____________________________Arlene Althenn PRESENTATION OF ATTENDANCE CERTIFICATES Mr. VV. II. Cox, High School Prinicpal Miss Sue Savage, Grade School Principal PRESENTATION OF MEMBERSHIP CARDS________________Mr. A. Woodfield, Supervising Principal WELCOME TO CLASS OF 1935____________Clark Vogel. President, S.G.A. We started on our journey to the tune of “Anchors Aweigh.” Our officers were chosen and the result was, President, Walter Zilahy; and Secretary, Verna Brock. A girl’s basketball team was soon organized. Two games were played with the team of the “Good Ship Hillside Avenue.” We were victorious in both games. However, disappointment came when the sophomores defeated us one game, which left the score two to one in our favor. The boys did not fare well as the girls, but were commended upon for their good sportsmanship even though they were not the victors. After cruising the “Seas of Knowledge” for eight months we held our first dance in the gymnasium of the “Good Ship Hillside High.” Miss Turner and Mr. Melanson supervised it. Music was furnished by Stephen Toth’s Hillsidians. We were entertained by Doris Bradner, solo; Evelyn Hemmings, solo; Esther Ochse, whistling selection; Harry Thurber and Walter Sharp, piano duet. A most enjoyable time was had by all, and the first social event on our trip proved to be a huge success. The fourth week of April was designated as “Boys’ Week.” We had the honor of having some of our passengers chosen to the following offices: Police Court Clerk, Kenneth Andrews; Fire Captains, Richard Steel, John Karpa and Jack Peckmore; Over-seer of the Poor, Fred McCarthy; Plumbing Inspector, Howard Hendrickson; Health Inspector, Milton Tillou; Building Inspector, Paul Koenig; Road Overseer, Robert Zipf.

Annual State Convention as well. The S. G. A. by means of charters this year managed to have all the extra-curricular activities under its jurisdiction. The council also organized a social committee which sponsored many affairs during the high school year and took care of the school socials. The S. G. A. sponsored an affair of its own on May 21st, as well as the Basketball Reception. The Assembly Committee arranged a complete assembly program for the high school. The officers of the organization are : Clark Vogel, President; Ronald Faber, Vice-President; Marion Short, Secretary; and Josephine Conlan, Treasurer. Mr. Zuman, Mr. Herron, Mr. Melanson and Mr. Salaky arc the faculty advisers of the organization. Mr. Cox acts as supervising adviser.

Its adviser is now Mr. Sowers, and its officers are : President, Marshall I ant; Vice-President, Fred Heeseman; Secretary and Treasurer, Herbert Nash. The work of the Hi-Y was largely confined to discussions during the meetings. The largest affair sponsored by it was the Hi-Y Dance, held in the School Gym on Saturday, April 16, 1932. The purpose of this society is to promote a higher class of Christian character. This purpose is gained through the discussion of different problems among the thirty members. These problems are thrashed out thoroughly from all angles and all viewpoints are covered. THE RETROSPECT Page Thirty-three Debate Group HILLSIDE High School proved itself masters of the Forensic art by winning the championship of Union County Interscholastic Debating League. The Misses Randi Kjekstad, Aileen Rice, Florence Greenberg together with William Frutchey, Ellsworth Schug, and Sidney Gottlieb successfully defended both sides of the Compulsory Unemployment Insurance question. The complete schedule offered thirty-five contests for approximately fifty debaters, organized in separate squads. The County league debaters, together with Josephine Conlan, and John Colin, enjoyed a delightful week-end debate trip in Atlantic and Egg Harbor Cities. Mrs. Conlan of the Parent Teacher’s Association and Mr. Zuman of the faculty accompanied the group. The team started an innovation in debating by appearing in uniforms during contests. The officers of the club are: President, Ellsworth Schug; Vice-President, Fred Heeseman; Secretary, Florence Greenberg; Treasurer, Edward Woodruff; Captain, Randi Kjekstad; Manager, John Colin; Assistant Manager, J. Ebert; Assistant Manager, W. Burton. Coaches: Samuel F. Zuman, Leonard A. Mitchell. Basketball Team ALTHOUGH the team did not have a successful year, as far as scores go, we had a team that put all they had into the game. The great physical development of Hillside’s opponents was discouraging, but our team carried on in spite of all handicaps. They deserve all the credit in the world. The captain of this year’s team was Harold “Dutch” Ammerman who, in-cidently, was high scorer on the team with 88 points. “Bussy” Klein, member of the team for four years, was chosen captain for the season 1932-1933.

The officers elected are : Marion Short, President; Edna Doll, Vice-President; and Ruth Weigand, Secretary. This club is giving letters to those girls who have showed an active interest in sports, developed a sense of leadership and promoted sportsmanship in all their games. The club operates on a point system. Hockey was sponsored in the Fall. On several occasions teams from here played with the girls at Millburn High School. Basketball was highly successful, the Sophomores coming out on top although several strenuous battles were fought against the Seniors. The Juniors were at the bottom of the list. Three faculty games were played including one night game. The faculty emerged victoriously each time. Many participated in baseball, hiking, tennis, archery, and swimming. A varsity tennis team was organized with Eileen Gillen, manager. Much of the success of the club during its first year was due to the able coaching and directing of Mrs. Peer and Miss Hinman. THE RETROSPECT Page Thirty-seven Boy s Inter-Class Athlet ics LAST fall each upper-class was represented on the gridiron. According to results of games played the Sophomores had the best team. After the football season, basketball was ushered in. After playing a nine game schedule, a play-off game was necessary between the Seniors and Juniors in which the Seniors won 22-11 for the interclass championship. Members of the senior quintet were: Marshall Lant, Arnold Spoffard, Robert Jones, Elmer Schaible, William Kavesanky, Edwin Smithers, Joseph Punchatz, John Colin and Ixrnis Zabielski.

There were numerous delightful vocal selections. Bob Williams directed the production and Click Vogel was master of ceremonies. The Student Court NEW organization, that of the Student Court, which establishes directors to correct and direct students that they may be better students of the High School, was begun this year. The patroling directors are chosen from reliable pupils having a study period at the hour in which they are on duty.

A. sponsored a dance, and gave awards to those students who had participated in extra-curricular activities. The results of the S. G. A. elections were also announced. The play given was entitled, “Once in a Life Time,” and was a story of gypsy life. The success of the play was largely due to the coaching of Miss Mary E.
