He was Ll captain in many Revolutionary battles, including the Battle of Springfield. A signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the youngest member of the Constitutional Convention, he later became state legislator, a United States Con- gressman and Senator. -5615 .,5f7lg,...- Creation of Our School The Jonathan Dayton Regional High School was built to satisfy a need. Prior to its erection six towns, Kenilworth, Garwood, Springfield, Mountainside, Clark, and New Providence, did not have senior high schools of their own. For many years it was necessary for these communities to send their students to neighboring towns. This plan prevented the six communities from managing the secondary schooling of their own students, besides depriving the students of the satisfaction of participating in the life of a school of their own. Since it was impossible to build a separate high school in each of the six towns, the problem was rapidly growing acute. The question arose: What was to be done?,' A solution to the problem was developed under the active and able leadership of Dr. Arthur L. Johnson, Superintendent of Schools in Union County. Dr. Johnson had early conceived the plan for a regional high school to fulfill the educational needs of our six communities. He and Mr. Haisey, who has since become Supervising Prin- cipal of the Regional High School, worked together toward the establishment of the institution which we now have-thanks to their untiring efforts. This thoroughly modern school building was not easily created. It represents the cooperative efforts of many people. It was necessary for Dr. johnson and Mr. 'Halsey to explain to the citizens of our six towns the necessity for adopting the Regional High School Plan and the details of its operation. Dr. johnson first appointed a temporary board of edu- cation. This board discussed local problems and considered them in the final decision to adopt the plan. After the plan was adopted, there still remained an enormous amount of work to be done. There were many people who assisted, and it seems fitting that we men- tion a few of them. Our representatives in Washington, the Honorable United States Senators A. Harry Moore, Hamilton F. Kean and W. Warren Barbour, together with Congressman Donald H. McLean and Congresswoman Mary Norton, were influential in getting the federal government to approve our loan and grant of funds. Our state officials, the Honorable Senator Charles E. Loizeaux, Assemblymen Thomas Muir, John Kerner and Herbert Pascoe, together with Mr. Edward Whelan, used their power and influence to pass for us some necessary! legislation. State Commissioner of Education Charles H. Elliott and Assistant Commissioner Howard D. White gave helpful sug- gestions on all phases of the project. Cf invaluable service to the Regional Board have been the attorneys, Mr. Nor- bert Burke and Mr. Henry Nulton, the latter also acting as secretary and district clerk. Mr. Frederick A. Elsasser is responsible for the excellent architecture of the school building. Many of the features that make the building adequate in every detail are due to the ability of this man. W'e owe a hearty thanks to Mrs. Agnes Flemer and the Springfield Board of Education for their generous gift of almost the entire school grounds. We are fortunate indeed that the location of our school is so very close to the county park grounds. The Union County Park Commission, by way of its secretary, Mr. W. R. Tracy, has cooperated fully with our Regional Board in landscaping these grounds and in offering us the use of their facilities, the football field, the running' track, and the skating pond. ' We owe a great deal to our Supervising Principal, Mr. Warren W. Halsey, who, besides helping to develop the regional plan, also worked all summer in organizing his educational administration so that we could all commence our school program without any confusion or delay. The founding of an institution of this type and size must of necessity have had behind it the whole-hearted cooperation of the citizens of our six municipalities. Due to the excellent help of everyone concerned in the project, the formation of our school has become a complete success. We now have at our disposal a thoroughly modern edu- cational institution which completely solves the problem of secondary education for our six towns. Besides simply being a solution to this problem, our Regional High School has advantages of its own. We students are given an apportunity, through the union of our six boroughs, to make a larger circle of friends and to gain a wider view- point. Also, our school now provides the type of education most suitable for us students and is so managed that the general welfare of the student body as a whole is the chief consideration. In this way no individual group can be treated as an outsider or be given special privileges, our school is managed and always will be managed in the common interests of the students from the six municipalities which contributed to its erectiond and now provide for its maintenance.

The Board of Education Our Board of Education is composed of nine members: Mr. Joseph Mulholland, President, New Providence Township, Mr. John Potts, Vice President, and Mr. James M. Duguid, Springheldg Mr. Merle Patten, Custodian of Moneys, and Mr. John Dushanek, Garwoodg Mr. Edward Menerth, Mountainsideg Mrs. Kate Shapiro, Clark Township, Mr. Earl Pollack and Mr. Dante Cera, who recently replaced Mr. Louis James, Kenil- worth. They are people who are distinguished in their own communities. Four are business men, one is an engineer, one a mother and civic minded womeng two are attorneys. The successful creation of such a progressive and adequate school as ours is an evidence of the ability, the wisdom, and the devotion of these public-spirited citizens. In starting this new educational unit the Board was confronted with unusual problems. Many decisions of policy had to be made. The members of the board were called upon by the architect of the building to make numerous decisions. The equipment is entirely their selection. All of this, of course, necessitated There were a great many special committee meetings. frequent meetings and late hours. Each member has invested a large amount of time and energy. Nearly all of the members of this Board are also members of their local Boards. This is of great help in correlating the work in the grade schools with that of our high school. Through the devotion of these people our school is closely related to the grade schools in the six supporting communities. The Regional High School is an important unit in a large system of public education. In no sense does it stand alone and apart from its constituent towns. For this fact, for the fine equipment, and for its excellent building, the school is indebted in a large measure to the wisdom and energy of the board members. The excellent accomplishments of the jonathan Dayton Regional High School in its first year are a reflection of the high standards set by the Board of Education. ,Sf 8 ..- . is A FACU LTY WARREN W.

Thanks for the memories Of the candles all displayed, a student-council made, That will live on when we are gone. May its glory never fade--how lovely it was. We had our moments of pleasure Along with hardships to be mastered. Oh well, it was swell while it lasted, And we had fun, but now its done, so Thanks for the memories Of basketball at night, where we yelled with all our might And a noisy band that had a hand In making things go right-oh, thank you so much. Thanks for the memories Of swell assemblies too, of songs both old and new. With cheers galore we shouted for The orange and the blue-how lovely it was. Thanks for the memories Of dances, clubs, and plays, and sunny summer days When everyone had lots of fun In lots of different ways--how lovely it was. We had our year's worth of good times, And we had our year's worth of hard times. We hope you'll remember us sometimes. Don't make a fuss, just think of us, and Thanks for the memories. We owe it all to you, and now that all is through, We hope you'll keep the little dreams You helped us make come true. We're awfully glad we met you. Cheerio and toodle-do, and Thank you so much. by LLOYD AND RUTH HOPPIN 'Ei12i3+ I LAURA M. ABEL General She has personality, and original ideas that make people alert.

Calfax Avenue Kenilworth MARY JOAN WHITE 8 Remer Avenue I Springfield THOMAS WOIENSKI 304 North Avenue Garwood -.ways Class Chronicle Early on the morning of September 13, 1937, alarm clocks could be heard ring- ing in our six towns. Since these clocks hadn't rung all summer, they sounded a trifle rusty, but in the months to come their voices were restored by daily morning practice. In other words, iq was the first day of school, and the pupils were to begin a new lifel together at Jonathan Dayton. What wjill it he like? we wondered. In the next few weeks we renewed old friendships, made many new ones, and strove manfully to get used to work and routine again. We found that there were plenty of activities to occupy our spare time, and, as seniors, we were very busy joining this and entering that. Somehow, in the midst of this bustle we found time to or- ganize our class and elect john Kulp president, Edward Sigety vice president, June Geiger secretary, and William Titley treasurer. Our faculty advisers were Miss Barrett and Mr. DeMott, and we chose Mr. Poppendieck and Mr. Perlman as sponsors. Since we have a large and busy school, we felt that there should be a voice for our accomplishments, so we took the lead in establishing the school paper, the Dayton News. Thus was another feather placed in Regional's cap. In response to demand and desire, we held an Autumn Dance in December. We hoped it might be a Victory Dance as well, but on Thanksgiving Day, Rahway spoiled that hope. However, it did not spoil the dance. Ah, but that is not all. Every large group must have organization and disci- pline. Being a new school we had no precedents or previously-made laws to guide us in school conduct, but had to determine them ourselves. Since Regional is a modern school, student government was logical., Therefore, we sponsored the formation of the Student Council, which drew up the constitution and governed the student body. In the field of athletics we seniors were also active. Members of our class were outstanding on all the teams, and the rest of the class turned out to cheer them on to victory or to console and support them in defeat. - ' that We made no scholastic achievement, let it herein be stated top in essay contests and shorthand and typing competitions, the honor roll. Lest it be thought that seniors came out on and were conspicuous on of the year we expressed a desire for a yearbook, so business At the beginning and editorial staffs were appointed. Contrary to the custom of having just seniors serv- ing on the yearbook staff, juniors were also appointed to act as assistants and to learn the secrets of yearbook making, so they would not have to be trained next year. About this time our senior drama stars presented The Night of January 163' This was indeed a success, and will go down in school history as a shining memorial to the Class of '3 8. Summer came nearer and nearer, and thoughts of graduation loomed larger. Again departing from custom, it was proposed that the seniors take part in their com- mencement exercises instead of having an outside speaker warn us that upon us rested the fate of the nation and the future of the world. This suggestion was adopted, and the seniors went to Work writing a pageant that would express in graphic form the aims and accomplishments of school life. Yes, graduation came finally, and the fortunate ones received diplomas, pass- ports to the outside world and jobs. In looking back we saw that we had come a long way since September and had finished a year crammed with activity and highlighted with achievements. We found merely a building, but we left a smoothly-running, lively organization, a credit to any community. We felt that some small praise was due us for our part in making this possible, as, with sighs and smiles we completed our first, and last year at Jonathan Dayton. ...gf 3 9jg....- Senioristics Name Weakness Ambition Doom Laura Abel, Hey-You ........

Pres. of School Board Spinster 4th. of July Orator Scientist --if-izysa Ph rophecy June 1, 1958 Dear Saul: Congratulations upon your victorious election! I truly believe that you deserve your title, Governor Saul Schaffer. Although you are very busy with the affairs of state in New Jersey, I feel certain that you will be as interested as ever to learn about the accomplishments of the Class of 1938. You might show this letter to your two very glamorous secretaries, Charlotte Mueller and June Geiger, as they will surely be glad to learn what has become of their school chums of twenty years ago back in, Regional High School. I don't mind telling you that I was a bit surprised when you told me Eddie,, Sigety was promoted to Chief of the State Police with Adolf Paterson, Bob Lynch, and Eugene Folkman as his three right-hand men. I almost died when I heard from you that Curly Nelson had been made the chief dog catcher in Union County, with his three assistant muzzlers, Leslie Watts, Steve Kulha, and Joe Vincent. I was really delighted when I learned that New Jerseyis two Congressmen Weren't really men at all but Carolyn Harmon and Jean Fleming. Gosh, and We used to think that the wo- manis place was in the home! From what you have told me about our old graduating class, I should judge that our women have almost surpassed the men. Why, just look at those three clothes models, Madelyn Scott, Helen Graczyk, and Mary Conklin. Then again, think of Gladys Fielding, the president of Columbia. Wlhy, we even had professional dancers in our crowd! Clara Graf and Kay Kinney are now featured at the Rialto where Paul Shea and his Rhythm Masters provide the swing. Many of our women have reached the top in the business world, too. Take for example, Edith Shapiro, president of the Bell Telephone Company, Ruth Briggs, the aluminum king, and Lois Cook, the sugar magnate. Well, to get along with the story I have to tell you, today I saw someone who told me all about quite a few of our old friends. I was on my way home from a matinee performance of that widely acclaimed picture, One Thousand Kisses with Dan Maidling, that new screen idol, Virginia Joyce, Xavier Masterson, and a cast of 997. The other picture was a side-splitting comedy with those three funsters, Alexander Metz, Bill Titley, and Wendell Collins. Dick Gutman and Veronica Tomasovic supplied the romantic interest. I took a taxi home from the movies, and who do you think was driving it? NVhy Arthur Staehle, the ex-millionnaire, of course! He recognized me at once and answered all my questions concerning people in our Class of '38. Art said that Jack Hay and Harry Richards had remained lady killers for a while but had finally reformed and now were hermits leading a solitary life. Art also told me that George Voelker and John McDonnell were running the big city newspaper down here in the state capital. Their paper is opposed to the political machine built up by John Kulp and Freeman Huntington, those two super politicians. Art also told me about the president of the American Horseshoe Company, Stanley Roll, the well-known playboy and musician, Phil Thompson, and the stage actresses, Margery Ruggeri, Margaret Staehle, and Margaret Misko. I sadly bade Art good-bye and came into the house where I am now writing .this letter. Our class had great stuff in it, it did. Time will still better prove its worth. K Good-bye and good luck, A CLASSMATE. P. S.-Sorry I can't sign my name to this letter, but the G-Men are hot on my trail. .,5f4 3 Ea..- John Kulp ..,.,.. Dan Maidling g .......

POPPENDIECK -Q+2f4s1A- Q... fl Last Will and Testament In the name of God, ameng we, the Senior Class of 1938, being of the age of one year, and considering ourselves to be of sound and unreasonable mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament. Since we wish to be remembered long after death as the first and foremost graduating class to depart from this hallowed existence in Regional High School, we bequeath the following: To the faculty-our gratitude. QOur intellects they would not have.j To the undergraduates-this beloved faculty, which will, we hope, be none the worse for this year's hard wear. To the Juniors-an order to maintain all the activities that we have established and to start some of their own. To the Sophomores-a dance with more Profits and less headaches. To the Freshmen-permission to be out after dark and a warning not to mis- use this privilege. To any in-coming microscopic Freshmen-the height of the Staehle family. To the staff of the 1939 Regionalogue-the hope that you will profit by our research, mistakes, etc., and advice to buy some good headache powders. To Mr. Manze-a chemistry class that won't blow up the laboratory. To Mr. Perlman--another pretty -secretary to add to his already long list. To Mr. Cookman-a manual, How to Play Basketball in Ten Easy Lessons.', To Miss Dimmers-about 3,000 new books. You juniors donit want to gradu- ate next year and be as ignerint', as we are, do you? To Mr. Poppfendieck-a bottle of Kreml with the hope that it isn't too late. To Mr. Gatti--a book on How to Raise Children or What the Young Father Shouldn't Do. To Frank Geiger-Don Hall's head bristles. To Mike Gudor-a license to make love and wisecracks on school time. To Arthur Albanese-the bashful ways OJ of Leslie Watts and Jack Hay. To the zoo, where they belong-the idiosyncrasies of Russel Roth and Alex- ander Metz. To Pat O'Brien, who certainly needs something to get her out of jams-- Ed Sigerty's running ability. To Jack Kennedy-the art of making announcements in the Bill Titley man- ner. To the basketball team-we can't give them anything. They already have everything. Witnesses: UNCLE DoN SNOW WHITE AND MR.

We're OFF! ! We're approaching the door of Mr. Peterson's Harmonica Rascals. Now will you LOOK at all the girls taking up this instrument. NO WONDER male attendance is so high! Ladies and Gentlemen, for the future speed demons of our generation, cast your eye on THOSE typists in the Commercial Club. Say, those folks seem to know what they're doin' in that Stenography Club, too, if you're askin' ME! Which leads us up to the Automobile Club. Tch. Tch. don't be an Ozzie, folks, and DON'T forget to teach your Pa and Ma how to cross busy streets. We're about to behold our own Romeos and juliets in action. Do you want to be an actor? just notify one of the four Dramatic Club directors. Makin' love on SCHOOL time! Ain't that sumpin? C'mon, we can't stay here ALL day. My, oh MY, could that be our Journalism Club? XVh3's getting all steamed up in the front of the room? just a future reporter, who THINKS he's goin' to be an editor someday. The Camera and Photoplay Clubs have been keeping everyone jumping, snap- ping candid Camera shots of us unawanes. The bookworms of the Library Club seem to be enjoying the antics of those spunky orators from the Debating Club. just a MINUTE, folkies, we better duck in this fire well a while. Mr. Gatti is on Patrol and thinks its VERY naughty of us chilluns to cut clubs. Oh well, he is gone now. To proceed: There's that well-known Slide-rule Club. SOME FUN! That reminds me. I promised Mr. DeMott I'd master the truths and tricks of that jigger. Foo--to- morrow's another day. Gosh, we ALMOST passed by the language division. Our future foreign cor- respondents SEEM awful fluent with that special brand of French they have. And that LATIN group! Don'cha suppose they feel awful self-conscious having SO MUCH brains? Could THAT be the Girl Reserves? Pretty nice, huh? Which leads us up to the Hostess Club. Your pick for a good cook. Oh, Oh, careful everyone. We're passing the Science Club. Dr. Jeckyl or Mr. Hyde is LIKELY to fly through that door any minute. Our Wrestling group is STILL grunting so lets take a roll by. Who is the archer over there, so deftly trying to Put her arrow through the flag pole? Oops, she missed, better luck next time. May I introduce you to Bobby Jones AND COMPANY, please? My mistake. It's our golf club having a lucky day. There's the Tennis Club and the Horseback Riding Club coming into view on our right. Will THEY be sore tomorrow? Where's the liniment? But I should talk-I guess I'll have to confess that I'll be using PLENTY my- self. You see, these skates are SLIGHTLY crooked-the wrong wheel-or something. Oh shux. What's the use of excuses? Guess I'll try to find my OWN group. Well, SO LONG! Don't TELL anybody, but I'll be seein' you in club period some other Thursday. .... i '5l56l9' Tennis Club Scarcely had Spring's first uncertain whisper aroused the willow that grows aslant the brook until pulses quickened in the youthful wrists of our little tennis enthusiasts. With the support and advice of Mr. Perlman, who is an experienced player, a club was formed to develop players and to train candidates for competition. A schedule has been arranged for interscholastic matches-two each-with the following high schools: Linden, Roselle Park, Highland Park, and Roselle. Manager Arthur and As- sistant Manager Roth have prepared a call for varsity candidates. In addition to preparing for a varsity team, the tennis group offers to many inexperienced players an opportunity to improve the quality of their game. Wrestling Club PETER BERTOLOTTI, President LESLIE GALLOWAY, Secretary MICHAEL VENTRE, Vice President JOHN MCGEEHAN, Treasurer MR. BATTAGLIA, Adviser ' The number in this club shows the interest that Regional boys have in the strenuous art of wrestling. At club meetings the fellows learned the exciting details of defense and attackg they had a chance, too, to test their strength and cunning. Some did not have after-school time for team competition. Many of the fellows will become candidates for our varsity team in future seasons, but all will be intelligent followers of the sport. 5 7f3..r.- Archery Club RICHARD LISTER , .- 7,,Y7,,, President ,,77 ,,7,7 -H JEAN DHCRESCENZO XVILLIAM GARBER YY7,, .

The lively lads from Springfield and Clank have made progress in furthering the purpose of the Hi-Y, namely, To create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community higher standards of Christian character. Each club meets weekly, 'the Clark Hi-Y using the Rahway YH pool and the Springfield Hi-Y using the Summit YU Pool. At the regular monthly joint meeting, which is held in the school, the clubs take turns in providing interesting programs and guest speakers. The groups have had many educational discussions which have helped the fellows in their everyday problems. The Springfield Hi-Y sponsored a finger printing campaign of the school by the F. B. I. Swimming, games, and ath- letics are features of all meetings. Every Hi-Y member feels that he has, through his participation in this organization, greatly improved himself physically, mentally and morally. 5 9 l Automobile Clubs DOMINICK LUMMINO 7 , ... . ,,..

To fully appreciate theatre productions they will make a rapid 'study of the works of modern playwrights whose plays are being currently produced., A trip to a New York playhouse is one of their spring hopes. --raaija eel l pw , M Dramatic Club WI1.LIAM TITLEY, President ANNE WHITE, Seerefary-Treasurer LORRAINL1 DLIBUE, Vive President Miss BARRETT, Adviser Here is a group that believes in learning by doing. They improve the ex- perience and outlook of their members by having each young Thespean read plays and interpret roles. Willing and unafraid, they employ any of the theatrical arts, including pantomime, seasoned with a little daring and plenty of imagination. With a night of one-act plays in view, the club is rehearsing three short plays. Profits will be gladly spent for costumes, scenery, and even theater tickets.

While we labor doggedlv through long calculations involving multiplication, division, or proportion, these clever clubmen get at the answer by a mere twist of the wrist. Businessmen, draughtsmen, engineers, estimators, and others find the slide rule invaluable in most of their calculations. Each member has a rule, and the club has a demonstration rule, over seven feet long. 6 Zfjaa, .a . 1 Hostess Club U Lols Coox, President GERTRUDE MULLINS, Seeretaiv ANNA MAs'rERsoN, Vice President V1oLEr VoN BoRsTEL, Treasurer Mlss HEARD ,,,.,,s.,..,,,....,A,,,,,,,, Adviser The Hostess Club strives to make charming hostessesu of its members. With that aim in mind, club time is devoted to discussing and actually practicing such things as social etiquette, various forms of entertaining for one or many guests, and appropriate dress for all occasions. Among the various activities of the club have been a Faculty Tea, a picnic, and several field trips to places selected by the club members. Harmonica Club DONALD MAGUIRE, President MARY GALv1N, Secretary ll MICHAEL LICITRA, Vice President PEGGY NELSON, Treasurer MR.

Popular Science Magazine proved of great interest to all the members. There were Saturday trips to Plainfield Water Works, Newark Airport, Radio City Museum. and other places of equal interest. At some meetings Hlms were shown and discussed, and individual experiments and demonstrations were conducted. --J-vEif64fx- -- Senior Girl Reserves MARY CONKLIN, President MARJORIE GRIMB1, Seeretary CLARA GRAF, Vice President ELINOR WALTERS, Treasurer Miss WESTENBURGER ,,,,,.,,, , ,,,,,7 Adviser Girl Reserves stand united in a common purpose, working together in Christian fellowship. The Senior Girl Reserves have pursued their aim during this first year by aiding the poor at Thanksgiving, by helping to sponsor a conference for girls and their mothers, by sponsoring an amateur program in assembly, and by discussing many gir.s' problems during the club meetings. The girls hope to have a Mother and Daughter Banquet. Girl Reserve Club CATHERINE HOAGLAND, President GERTRUDE MULLINS, Secretary MARIAN GRIMM, Vice President JOSEPHINE NICRO, Treasurer Miss BRADY ,,sseess,,,,s,eee,,i,,s, ,ee, A dviser y This group, composed largely of sophomore girls, enjoys fellowshipamong its members and seeks to help others who are in need. Repairing toys for the poor is one of the projects. . i ' Delegates have been sent to several worthwhile meetings. A mother-and-daugh- ter conference at the Westhld Y. W. C. A. was especially interesting. The Westheld Reserves have been very helpful. This Regional sophomore group is planning an active program for next year. -4546 5 kg.-- Girl Reserve Club GENE BRILL, President MIRIAM PARSELL, Secretary BETTY SORGE, Viee President CELIA RUSCANSKY, Treasurer RUTH ALBANESE, Council Representative Miss BOYD, Adviser. The Girl Reserve Club is a junior organization of the Y. W. C. A. founded to help girls in adjusting themselves to modern life, in making choices based upon sound reasoning, and in serving others. This freshman group has distributed Christmas bas- kets to the needy, has helped to plan a Girl Reserve Conference in Vfestfield, and has raised money to send a representative to the Summer Conference. Nature Club JOSEPH CREE, President Miss ALLEN, Adviser EVELYN FERRY, Secretary MR. COOKMAN, Adviser The souls of Thoreau, Muir, and other out-door immortals must have been glacldenecl when the Nature Club was formed. So many students sought membership that the great out-doors itself seemed to be the only place large enough for club meet- ings. When lectures, pictures, or demonstrations were on the program, as they usually were, everyone managed to get into the biology room. The dramatic quality of life in the bird and animal world has been a subject of absorbing interest. -.Qf66j3,.,.- Debate Club MARION SMITH, President CAROLYN HARMON, Secretary ARTHUR BLIWISE, Viee President RUSSELL ROTH, Treasurer MR. PERLMAN, Adviser The Debating Club, under the able supervision of Mr. Perlman, has been a credit to the school. During the year the debaters participated in inter-club and inter-scholastic debates. Mr. Earl Pollack, a lawyer from Kenilworth and a member of the Board of Education, addressed the club as a guest speaker. On March 19, Carolyn Harmon, Arthur Bliwise and Doris Keating were guests at Drew University. Carolyn Harmon was one of the guest speakers. Library Council THOMAS TURNBULL, Presidenl ELEANOR MEX'ER, Secretary GLORIA BRODHEAD, Vive President Miss DIMMERS, Adviser The members of the Library Council care for the library in every detail, check- ing books in and Iout, and checking attendance. Their work is invaluable, and they feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to become so well acquainted with the li- brary. Such a group provides experience for its members and serves the whole school. The Council's Faculty Tea was a delightful affair, which, we predict, will long be remembered by the President, who was caught doing a large portion of the dish- washing. -. .gf67?5,...- Stenography Club EUGENE PRINCE, Prcsirlenf HELEN GRACZYK, Secretary Mlss KRUMACPIER, Adviser MADELYN SCOTT, Treasurer The Stenography Club was organized for the purpose of developing its members into better stenographers. The group is limited to Juniors and Seniors who are ambi- tious to reach a high level of stenographic skill. From participation in various con- tests, pins and certificates have been received. Furthermore, at each of the meetings a club prize is awarded to the person who does the best work. To keepr in touch with commercial work the group has visited business firms. Of course, a pleasure trip is also scheduled. Commercial Club EDITH BIELECKI, Presidenf EVELYN DAMBRES, Vim' Prvsidwlf HELEN STZALKOWSKI, Secretary Mlss KAPLAN, Adviser This club introduces students into the business world. Business methods and filing methods were discussed, and a problem in filing completed. A trip to Breyer's Ice Cream Plant was taken, and several other trips are planned. For the purpose of creating a commercial museum the club has secured for display such articles as aluminum, lime, chocolate, silk, carborundum, etc. The mem- bers expecd to make 'their display shortly and hope that this museum may become 11 permanent part of the Regional High School. 6 8 .- X 2 1. :K Y - V ' ggi SS X , 'il' V 11 1, MAM A, WN x NN lv qi!! lv M 4 -K ix ix , J J , S Nz 1 N f'1'y'NN 4 1' UA fn.

DEMOTT ,... .,.. ,vv.vee,e,,,...... A d viser The Regional High School is fortunate in having an opportunity to participate in organized school government in its first year. The organization is known as the School Community Council, for it is representative of the school community in that the student body, the Parent-Teachers' Association, and other interested groups par- ticipate in its work either directly or indirectly. After a thorough study of the constitutions of many of the successful school governments in the county by the oflicers of the Council, a constitution for the School Community Council was adopted. Secretary Freeman Huntington's efforts in this respect were noteworthy. The purpose of this body is to give to students the opportunities of participation in democratic government in order to solve student problems and to develop school spirit and cooperation. The Council consists of four officers, a representative from the P. T. A., and one representative from each home room. The first task of school-wide interest which confronted the Council was pro- viding assistance to those Regional students in need. A student aid committee was ap- pointed by the president to cooperate with the faculty committee. Students in need have been helped by monthly student contributions. V The Library Council had the full cooperation of the school government or- ganization in putting across the Give-a-Book campaign for the benefit of the school library. Spqlendid school spirit and cooperative endeavor have been manifested by the Council in this first year of its and the school's existence. This has been most encour- aging. In striving toward greater measures of success, future Councils may build upon a firmer foundation. -. 7 0 B.-- i Student Patrol The school recognizes the valuable work that has been done by this orgianization. Upon each member, each oilicer, and upon Mr. Manze there has rested an hourly and' daily responsibility. The student body has been immeasurably benefited by their faith- ful and effective service. The Patrol was originally organized to guide the passing between classes, in halls, and on stairways. Later a Noon .Patrol was added to preserve order in the halls at noon, and still later a small Seventh Period Patrol was set up to clear the halls during the early dismissal time. The memlbers of the Patrol have been instrumental in helping students to set up a desirable standard for hall conduct at all times. Under the control of the Patrol, one-way traffic was established on stairways for safety and rapidity of passage. The presence of the Patrol in the halls allowed the school to fix for itself a very informal, yet controlled passing between classes. ' The work of the Noon Patrol deserves high praise. On an assignment that required use of their free time these students helped to preserve order and quiet during the time when students were free for lunch. Since classes were in operation during the lunch period of some students, this regulation of the halls was necessary. The Seventh Period Patrol, although small in numbers, served to control the clearing of halls after early dismissal and to control the few students who failed to be cooperative in the halls while classes were still in session. During this first year the Patrol was composed almost entirely of Juniors land Seniors who volunteered for this work. In coming years volunteers will be interviewed before school closes, and the Patrol will begin operating when school opens. Oificers are elected by the members of the Patrol. In 1937-38 oilicers were: Chief, John Kulpg Floor Captains, Wendell Collins, Freeman Huntington, and Paul Shea. Mr. Manze or- ganized and advised all Patrol activities.

Bookkeeper aml Trraszzrrr-F. SHRAW. The Dayton News presents school news for the interest of the student body and interprets school activities to outside readers. Our school paper, which began with four mimeographed pages, increased in quantity and quality to six printed sheets published bi-weekly, gives an opportunity to students to try all kinds of journalistic work. Since the paper is printed on our school press, it gives some students opportunities for vocational training. During the year several contests have been sponsored, namely, a school straw vote on the election of the governor of New Jersey, a popularity football contest, a ballot vote for the yearbook name, and a contest for the writing of our school song. -..,g4721g,..- The Regionalogue JOHN MCDONNELL, Editor in Chief CAROLYN HARMON, Literary Editor SAUL SHAFFER, Business Manager MARGARET MISKO JOSEPHINE BONGIOVANNI DORIS MUHSGNUG JEAN FLEMING FAITH SHRAW EDITH SHAPIRO ARTHUR BLIWISE ELIZABETH ACCURSO Literary Stag DONALD PETTIT ADELINE GEIB RUTH BRIGGS LESLIE WATTS EDWARD SIGETY Business Staff RUTH KNOLL CHARLOTTE MUELLER JOHN HAY ESTHER SHAPIRO EUGENE PRINCE JACK TOWERS ELINOR WALTERS MURIEL JOHNSON ROBERT BROKAW LILLIAN WERNLI DORIS KEATING GERALDINE CACIA ELIZABETH KASCIN MR. CAMPBELL AND MR. WERNER, Advisers Only those on a yearbook staff can realize how much work is involved in the creation of an annual. The creators of this Regionalogue have discovered how peculiarly great is the task of preparing a book to record the life of a regional school during the first year of its development. New organizations, interests, and activities appeared on the scene almost every week in the midst of more than eight hundred students who at the beginning were not acquainted with each other. With no experience in yearbook making and with no basis for an estimate of the size and scope of the proposed book, the staff faced the necessity of surveying and resurveying the school scene ,Nof estimating and re-estimating book costs, of writing and re-writing the contents of the publication. The task has provided experiences in advertising, salesmanship, organization, writing and book making-experiences which those Who have been most active will not Soon forget. In this enterprise patience has been tested, loyalties proved, and friendship enjoyed. 73 lg..- Forum FREEMAN HUNTINGTON, President JUNE GEIGER, Secretary MR. GATT1 .,..,,,E.,,.,,......,,A. . ,.... Adviser In September of 1937 a group of students decided that they would like to get together for the discussion of the vital problems of the day. When it was suggested that such a club' be formed under the leadership of Mr. Gatti, social studies teacher, the response was enthusiastic. Hence the Student Forum was organized. When a formal election of oiiicers was held, Freeman Huntington was chosen as president and june Geiger, secretary. The membership numbered twelve. The meetings have proven quite successful. Within the circle many informal, friendly meetings have been held, and a number of interesting articles discussed. The club has been fortunate in getting several outside speakers of distinction to come to the school. and address the group. They have enjoyed trips to various neighboring schools. On these occasions many Forum groups have mingled to listen to discussions presented by their fellow students. A spokesman of the club says: There is a goal before us, a high one. In arousing ourselves to the problems of the day we are endeavoring to become fair- minded, deep-thinking citizens. We are trying to rid ourselves of prejudices, to look always at both sides of a question. In this organization we are learning many things that we did not know be- fore. We have attempted to delve into the mysteries of national and foreign affairs. Our studies have included the problems of the slums. We have debated the questions of capital and labor, employer and employee, isolation and international cooperation. In this short year we have become a serious-minded educational unit and have made interesting plans for the future. -ggi 74 lg... Glee Club This has been the performers' yearg next year promises entertainment for every- one. Under Mr. Peterson's able directorship practice has been gained with pleasure, not at pleasure's expense. Formal drills have not crowded out the joyous Clang of the Forge. Hearts and voices have swelled to romantic Moonlight and Rosesf, In view of the fun and the good fellowship, not to mention the excellent vocal training, which this year's members have gained, it is certain that next year's group will number about fifty students. We can then have a boys' club, a girls' club, and a mixed club, from which we can expect concerts, operettas, and musical revues. Student Aid Regional students realize that just as religion should not be limited to Sunday alone, so good sportsmanship should not be looked on only as a part of athletic games. Fair play and school spirit are more than words and more than cheers. Through the Student Aid the student body has very generously and spontaneously shared spending money for the financial assistance of those who need help. On the first Tuesday of each month money is raised through voluntary offering. Funds are used to provide meals and clothes for those who need assistance. The executive committee is composed of Walter Flesher, chairmang Frank Tomchak, Charles Morrison, and Eleanor Barry. Miss Heard is the adviser. 7 5 EM.- p The Orchestra . Many music lovers will agree to the statement that there is no!type of musical organization that surpasses an orchestra for sheer enjoyment-enjoyment on the part of the musicians and on the part of listeners. One aim of the orchestra is to play music better. It is valuable in teaching students to work together as a fine ensemble. These students are of service to the school in many ways. They give delightful musical programs at assemblies, and upon all special occasions. Parents and teachers are very pleasantly entertained at Parent-Teachers Association meetings. On March 18 a Musicale was given in cooperation with the band. The formal Entre de Processionl' by Edward Batiste opened the program. The romantic Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Straus was a pleasing contrast to this. After this the gayer mood of the audience was captured by Country Dancen, French-Canadiang Plantation Overture of Foster-Robertsg Slavonic Danceh by Sergei Balikovg and Roll Off by Lester Bracton. Selections were by the State solo contest winners of 1937. Among them was a tuba solo, Beelzebub , given by Clinton Gaggion. Mr. Peterson, leader and director, is to be highly commended for the splendid work of the orchestra this year. We confidently expect great improvement after more time and practice. Ruth Koritsky is concert master, or leader, of the first violin section. The orchestra's dreams are for a more balanced organization. In the string sec- tion more cellos, violins, violas, and basses would improve the balance. They hope for flute, oboe, bassoon, French horn, and tympani talent in the wind and percussion section next year. ...QH75 ig..- F The Band The band added to our enjoyment in winning basketball games and kept spirits up when scores looked gloomy. They helped warm the crowd, both spiritually and physically, at the football games. The resounding strains of Anchors Aweigh .do not need. nautical surroundings for enjoyment. At Parent-Teachers Association meetings they have had a large part in enlivening the programs. They have more than done their bit to make our assembly programs varied and interesting. In cooperation with the orchestra, a very enjoyable Musicale was given on March 18. Selections given by the entire band were: 14Oth Infantry March , by F. L. King, f'Light Cavalry Overture, by F. Van Suppeg Victor Herbert's Favoritesf, Victor Her- bertg The Darktown Strutter's Ball, S. Brook, Tiger Rag,', D. J. I.aRoccag Herald of Progress March, K. L. King. Among the specialties were: Frolic of the Keys by Edwin Johrl, a saxophone trio composed of Paul Shea, Jack Lane and Arthur Albaneseg and The Three Solitairesn by Victor Herbert, a cornet trio composed of John Kulp, Wendell Collins, and William Garber. A Mr. Rusette is instructor of band instruments and director of the band. In his absence Wendell Collins is the able student leader. In spite of the fact that more instruction and practice is needed before the members and director will be satisied, musical talent of note has been discovered. Clin- ton Gaggion won the state contest as the best sousaphone player. Wendell Collins is a member of the All-State Band. The members are already at work making interesting plans for next year. We hope to see them resplendent in orange and blue uniforms. -...,gf771g,..- X il LQ 'al CTL 'f'f 'L'M 'l U... PM ffffi., W Cheerleaders if1 ylie work of the cheer leaders has this year been particularly important and pe- culiarly difficult. To present to a new student body a full repertoire of new cheers has been a big' undertaking. To weld into a strong cheering unit large groups who have not before cheered together has also been a big job. Nevertheless, the cheer leaders under Miss Kathryn Phillips, have met these first year problems with success. When the call for cheer leaders was sounded at the beginning of the school year, seventy-five enthusiasts responded. Three faculty members, Messieurs DeMott, Gatti, and Poppendieck, assisted as judges in the eliminating ordeal. By means of a series of tryouts, fifteen leaders were chosen for the work. In view of the fact that none of the members of this selected group have had previous experience, their work and Miss Phillips' coaching are truly worthy of praise. - All of the Regional students have had a chance to play a part in making our cheering unique as well as spirited. Everyone was invited to compose yells. These imaginative and noisy creations were presented to Mr. Peterson and Mr. Poppendieck for selection and final judgment. A goodly number of catchy, rousing cheers were submitted. They revealed the original, rhythmic, and noisy talents of our students. In rapid order the cheer leaders taught the selected yells to the student body. Hesi- tation, Trucking, and the Team cheer, have become favorites. For service at athletic games the cheering captains, Dorothy Sachsel and Frank Geiger, chose two boy and two girl leaders for each occasion. Out of the cheer-leading squad, five or six will be elected to receive a letter. Next year's squad will commence its work without the handicaps of the past season. With a nucleus of experienced leaders a still better machine can be developed. Plans are prepared for a more elaborate program of cheer-leader training. New cos- tumes for the girls will increase the eye appeal and the acrobatics will be something to write home about. -..,g.E7 g E..- ..

Cross Country The Cross-Country Team with Coach Cookman and Captain Edward Sigety has rounded out a splendid season, meeting all comers in this field of sport. Regional won half the total of merits listed and closed the season with a .500 scoring average. The competition was well planned, including many outstanding high school and academy teams. The boys trained faithfully. The majority of the runners were Sophomores and Freshmen who had had no previous experience. The success of our first year dem- onstrates not only the good spirit and faithful work of the team, but it indicates the effectiveness of Mr. Cookman's coaching. Opening the season on October 22, against Union High, our harriers were defeated by a score of 19-3 7. After traveling to Warinanco Park, Elizabeth, on October 26, to meet a strong Thomas Jefferson QElizabethj team, the boys returned to cele- brate a well-earned victory, by a count of 25-30. The first three finishers were Re- gional boys. Again at Warinanco Park the runners triumphed over a well-balanced Hillside outfit with the score of 24-31. In the last dual meet of the season, running against South Side of Newark, our boys lost a heart-breaking contest by the narrow margin of one point, 27-28. In every one of these meets the low score denotes the winner. Besides these dual meets the Regional 1Hill and Dalers took part in the State Cross-Country meet and the Seton Hall invitation meet to round out a good season. We hope that next year we may be in a position to invite schools to come to our home field and that our track will prove to be one of the best in New Jersey. The winning members of the teams are as follows: Edward Sigety,,.Henry Engle- hardt, Eugene Folkman, Richard Sachsel, and Henry Cubberly.

This lack of ex- perience accounts for the rather uneventful nature of the season. The boys were relentlessly drilled in the fundamentals of the game and in important details of grid- iron strategy by our most capable football mentor, Coach Brown. The season was opened by a game with Caldwell. Regional lost to this sturdy eleven by a score of 14 to 0. In the second game we found a heavy and experienced Highland Park Team playing host to our team. By superb co-ordination and most impressive playing, Regional proved to be the superior team. In the last four games of the season the Blue and Orange lost to Henry Snyder, St. Mary's, and Rahway, but tied Suffern, a high ranking football team that hails from lower New York State. Although being seriously handicapped by lack of experience, the season's record was quite good in view of the fact that the students hadn't developed the indispens- able and invigorating School Spiritf, Looking forward to the coming year, we see ex- cellent possibilities of a strong team. Assistant Coach Haut, in addition to assisting with the varsity as line coach, will take over the same task with the Junior Varsity next Fall. iv 057 as jj., S XTUSVZ5- restling Regional High School's wrestling team, under the able coaching of Mr. Bat- taglia, had a highly successful season. First-year wrestling teams, as a rule, are con- sidered successful even though they have only one or two victories, but Regional's grapplers won five out of their nine matches. Their season was good in view of the high calibre of the opposition faced during the regular schedule. The grunt and groan men opened their season in a promising fashion on December 17 by outclassing North Plainfield 26-13. When they went to Teaneck, our boys were vanquished by a score of S-32. Teaneck was co-champion with Union in 1937. The next encounter was a thrilling match won by the Regional wrestlers over a powerful Thomas Jefferson team by a two-ppint margin, 19-17. In the remaining six matches the matmen broke even, losing to Union, a 1937 Co-Champion, by az score of S-35. Coming back bravely from the Union defeat, they drubbed Wash- ington High School to the score of 21-13. Next came Newton, who were runners-up for the State wrestling honors in 1937, when the smoke had cleared, Newton's boys were victorious, 13-21. In the next two matches it was evident that the Regionalites were not' at all discouraged by the tussle with Newton. Our matmen went to Somerville for an en- counter in which they proved their strength by conquering Somerville 29-11. A re- turn match with North Plainfield resulted in another Regional victory. The score was 24-15. Closing the season against Roselle Park, another powerful team, Regional mid: a good showing despite the 8-24 score by which we lost. Three of the Begu- -r matmen were out with illness during this match, which partly accounts for the 'mc-sided score. lfnr an inexperienced, first-year group the wrestlers should be highly commended -:A :heir spirit, courage, and talent. We are confident that Coach Battaglia will con- 'nm' to have the success he experienced this season. ...gf 3 2 Es..- 1 Nil, 11 K1 O .49 :A X Ba sketba I I BASKETBALL SCORES Regional Opponents Regional Opponents 21 ,,e....7....

Coach Brown's Orange and Blue Quintet,,' by displaying a fast passing at- tack and a clever defense, always managed to make its encounters very interesting and at times highly exciting. Throughout the season their morale and sportsmanship de- served the utmost of praise. They made all engagements ones of friendly rivalry. In the making of such an outstanding record, the Regional five defeated twice the following worthy opponents: Roselle, Roselle Park, Bernardsville, Scotch Plains, Chatham, Highland Park and Rahway. In the scheduled games Union, Somerville and Cranford were each defeated once, while in the County elimination matches Linden, Roselle Park, Plainfield, and Rahway felt defeat at the hands of Regional. In brief, our first year has been highly exciting and distinctly successful. Our team has put Regional in the basketball spotlight. We confidently expect equally good seasons in the future. The work of Mr. Hohn and the Jay Vee squad has been a va'u- able contribution to our success. They furnished scrimmage opposition for the Champ- ions, built future players for the school, and had a successful season of their own, win- ning 11 out of 18 games. -Aeifssya .- S ,fry GirI's Sports ' ELEANOR Aciueiatnv, Prvsiilrrzf BETTY PALzuk, Scfcrcrury-Trvaszinfr 1,n.1.lAN WVERNLI, Rvvorilvr Miss KAROLYN PHILLIPS, Adrixvr HEADS OF SPORTS FOR 1937-1938 KATHRYN GUNN, Horxz'lmrk Riding ELIZABIZTH KASCIN, llllllt'-Y Bull Auoiugv HAMBROCK, Soww' MARY GALVIN, Baseball DOROTHY MAYER, Horxvsbm'x ERNA HKDPPIN, Ping-Pong ANNAB11 CUNNINGHAM, Hiking ESTHER SHAPIRO, Arflacry KATHRYN RICHARDSON, Buskrflmll MARGARHI' lN'llSKO, Truck Every girl attending the Regional High School is a member of the Girls' Ath- letic Association and is given an opportunity to take part in the intra-mural program.

Never a dull moment in our young lives, seems to have been the motto of student body and faculty alike. Yes indeed, our school started off right from the beginning with plenty of ability, pep, and enthusiasm. We of the Regionalogue staff hope that our small contribution my help you to recall, at some future date, those things which we know you will enjoy remembering. May this written and pictorial record of the first and most eventful year at Regional aid you in your memories of that pleasant and profitable experience. In reading this book you have no doubt been impressed, much as I myself have been, by the spirit of initiative and action that characterizes our school. You have seen the pictures and word sketches of our first graduating class, which assembled at Regional this last year and which, through its large supply of initiative and co-opera- tion, soon became a real Senior Class, heading for a goal. When you saw so many organizations of all kinds, you no doubt got an accurate idea of the large amount and variety of activity here in school. Our athletic teams didn't just play games but instead created very envious reputations for themselves and for the school. Not every school's Yearbook contains a picture of the Union County Basketball Champs! The Dayton News, our very popular school newspaper, has been a tremendous success, and the Regionalogue, we hope, has lived up to your expectations. In our school the air fairly buzzes with activity. All year long our industrious students and faculty members have been Aforming organizations. They have in this way added still more to the prestige of our school, but, to be honest, they have kept us of the Regionalogue staff in a mad whirl. Imagine planning a Yearbook, and then having new clubs spring up every few days saying, 'Tm here, put me in your Year- bookf' You can readily see what a really big job we undertook when we began writ- ing aYearbook for a vigorous young school. I feel, and I'm sure you will agree with me, that the hard-working Regionalogue staff deserves the sincere thanks of everyone for the fine piece of work they have turned out. I should like to take this opportunity to thank also those others who de- serve appreciation for their help with this book. Our faculty advisers deserve a max- imum of praise. Without their unfailing aid and guidance, this publication would have been impossible. Mr. Campbell, by his patient and very able supervision of the literary work, has enabled us to publish a truly high quality Regionalogue for you. Mr. Werner, by directing the business end, has succeeded in the difficult job of raising the money for our large book. Mr. Halsey's cooperative spirit has been both encouraging and gratifying. The Springfield Sun has very graciously lent us half tones for three excellent pictures which appear near the front of this book. We also owe much to our advertisers, without whose help, so large a book would have been impossible. We have tried to please YOU, the buyers of this book, to whom we owe everything. by giving you the best book we could make. Finally, I should personally like to take off my hat and bow to anyone and everyone who was in any way connected with the publication of this book. The gen- eral spirit of cooperation and good will which has been displayed and which helped us to so great an extent, is truly gratifying and worthy of sincere praise.
