As a preparation for our future personal well-being, strength, and usefulness, and as an important present influence upon our elders; we must learn to see clearly, think calmly, and work together unselfishly. Above all we must keep faith in the moral and spiritual values in life. We must work to strengthen these values. In keeping with the events and the spirit of 1941-America, we picture our school life in the figurative conception of military camp life — where patriotic purpose, uncomplaining acceptance of curtailed personal ambition, and unquestioning exclusion of need- less and harmful luxuries characterize the unselfish devotion of an American to his country ' s needs.

No, Sir, You can ' t run a school or train an army on rules and regulations alone. Mechanization can ' t work wonders by itself. You have to keep things human, and you must have a sense of humor. The outfit needs a soul, a per- sonality. We have that at Regional. It ' s a friendly place — a place with spirit and life. We could point to a number of teachers, of course; but we take par- ticular pride in dedicating this book to a genuine friend, a devoted teacher, and a spiritual leader... Robert Poppendieck. Happily and most clearly he personifies the democratic ideals and the moral values of education.

In this regional type of school, devoted to the secondary education of young people from six towns, the board of education is a unique organization composed of public-spirited citizens elected from their constituent communities to serve impartially in a unified group the interests of the school and of the six towns. Under their authorization a magnificent building was erected, a capable and earnest personnel chosen; and during the past four years the school has rapidly achieved a reputation as a well-equipped, well-balanced, progressive institution. The enviable record of the school ' s accomplishments is a credit to this wise and conscientious board of education. 10 • If you ever went to high school, you know how many responsibili- ties the principal has. It takes a man with a lot of experience and ability to keep things running smoothly. I tell you we are proud of our CO. ' s record as an over-seas officer in the World War, and since then as a civic leader. We know that he is sincere in all that he does, as a citizen and as an educator, to arouse thoughtless or indifferent young people to be- come good citizens. The secret of his success isn ' t hard to find. It ' s his persever- ance, fairness, and common sense. Yes, he ' s a man with a heart for his work — and a man with his feet on the ground. He ' s our staunch friend. We salute our respected com- manding officer. MR. WARREN W. HALSEY Supervising Principal COMMANDING OFFICER • i Joseph C. Battaglia William F. Brown Barbara J.

Edward Buczynski Buck General Clark Football 2, 3, 4; Camera Club 1 ; Checker and Chess Club 2; Automobile Club 3; Advanced Camera Club 4. Friendly, brainy, and brawny, Ed has been valuable on the gridiron, in the social whirl, and in the class room — an all ' round fellow whom everyone likes and admires.

Joseph Zampaglione Boo General Kenilworth Golf Club 1 ; Study Club 2, 4; Automobile Club 3.

He likes to surprise. 44 Lottie Zoldak General Lot Clark Biology Club 1 ; Art and Metal Club 2, 3; Automobile Club 4; Art Club 1, 2, 3.

Diesel is well named, for he is a powerful weight lifter and a crack 440 man. He ' s smart. Those Good Old Days Wasn ' t it swell, classmate of mine, In those old days of the lost sunshine When the short week-end was through; And we went trudging off to school, me and you. It all comes back so clear today, The fun we had in the grandest way — The games we won, the games we lost, What price victory? How dear the cost. And the fields echo with our yells of mirth That make old war whoops of minor worth. We ' re such heroes of games as we When Regional gets out on a jamboree? And then in the dust of the tracks again The teams we meet and the teams we beat And the long road home. With victories spread Thick as butter on country bread, Our cares behind and our hearts ahead, Back to good old R. H. S. Why, I see her now in the open field With the faithful clock in the grand old tower. And her shingled roof — And the place — Ah, Me. Wasn ' t it good for one to see, Wasn ' t it good for one to be there in good old Regional Oh, was there ever a finer place With teachers like ours, with the grandest grace For teaching and being friends as well — And the wealth inside was ours to share. And the voice of counsel that touched us so; There was never a better place to go Than dear old Regional. With apologies to James Whitcomb Riley • 45 REGIMENTAL RECORD Amid all the confusion of that autumn day in 1937 when the hordes of Berkely Heighters, Clark Townshipers, Carwoodians, Kenilworthians, Mountain- siders, and Springfieldites descended upon Regional, we, the freshmen, were not conspicuous. Tradit ionally, freshmen are meek and quiet little souls kept in their proper place by upper classmen, but, since every class was new that first year, many of us bolder ones easily passed for seniors! Thus we gained our independent spirit which has carried us onward through our four years. Only at class meetings, where we elected President Harry Dunn to lead us our first year, were we recognized as freshmen. Consumed by an overwhelming interest, we poked our noses into every- thing: We helped in organizing a band and orchestra. We were well repre- sented when our team captured the coveted Union County Basketball Cham- pionship. Our first social venture . . . The Freshman Frolic . . . was a huge success. Our sophomore year . . . now things were getting settled. The seniors were developing a superiority complex and the frosh an inferiority one (we escaped just in time). Looking around for an able leader we spotted Andy Wanat and promptly procured his services. We weren ' t too grown up to play, and when the first circus came to Regional we were there in full force. We gave our Soph Hop against the advice of our elders and were thrilled when we actually made ten cents. Junior year . . . we were now upperclassmen. Although to the naked eye no difference could be noted, we began to feel our importance. Electing our football hero, Bob Price, for president, we devoted all our energy to make our Junior Prom the best ever. It was a colorful affair with Hawaiian theme and special entertainment. We laughed at the tearful seniors as we departed joyfully for a well earned summer vacation. Back again. We ' re the tops now. We poked fun at the incoming fresh- men and enjoyed our front seats in assembly. Looking over the situation, we found that the front door should be guarded more carefully in lieu of wayward underclassmen. We found a couple and ejected them forcefully. Having heard the rumors of Mr. Catti ' s homework, we should have been prepared. We were snowed under. Digging our way out, we were confronted with a 2000 word essay. Grimly we labored, and in spite of all our efforts Vic Converso, our president, walked away with the prize. At every class meeting our mercenary treasurer, Betty Sorge, reminded us of our bank balance — $50. We kept her quiet for a while with our Christ- mas card sales. Early in March, making use of all our talent under the able leadership of Miss MacCarthy, we staged our Senior Play, Yours Truly, Willie. It was a huge success . . . financially it silenced our treasurer forever. With our independent spirit we voted to go to Boston for the Senior Class Trip and ended up in Washington. As usual, after having a marvelous time we admitted (?) that our elders knew better. To us goes the honor of being the first class to spend four happy, busy years at Regional. Our originality and independence started early in freshman year and continued right through till the end — June 19, 1941, when we ceased to be either unique or clever. That night we, as every other class before us, demurely accepted our diplomas and solemnly moved out. I % Hot diggety! The Senior Class presented a dramatization of a ro- mance on February 20 and 21. Frank Tomchak, vice-president of the Senior Class, was General Chairman, and Miss McCarthy directed the cast. There were three acts, all taking place in the combination living- dining room of Willie ' s home. Act One was at dinner time; Act Two, six days later at eight o ' clock in the evening; and Act Three, the next night.

Left to right: M. Lantz, B. Keller; F. Tomchak, at piano; W. Russo, A. Espo- sito, R. Cree, H. Dushanek, A. Wanat, E. Denson, M. Kas- cin, W. Smith. John Kulha, the veteran of many a stage production, took charge of the lights. He and Soupy Finkel designed and erected the stage scenery under the supervision of Mr. Bobilin. The most unique practices, the most unusual happenings, char- acterized the preparation of the play. On Monday night the players stayed late and cooked their own supper in the cooking room. It gave them an opportunity to rehearse Act One, the table scene. People connected with the play will never forget the rounds of applause that echoed through the halls of dear old Regional or least of all will they forget the terrific trip to the Meadowbrook after Friday ' s performance. 48 • Companies B,CandI) til o ro - v r f f , . ._.

Don ' t seek personal advantage at the expense of your community ' s welfare. Don ' t let your personal gain weaken the group ' s faith in itself. Work voluntarily for the good of your school, your team, your church, your country. Make democracy work by working without waiting for com- pulsion. Be loyal by doing all that you can because you want to. Loyal men don ' t have to be compelled. Certainly we are loyal — loyal to our teams to our teachers, to our friends, to our school There is more to it than that, however. We know that loyalty means more than emotion. It calls for work. Look at the Student Council members. Loyalty is their motto, and work is their middle name. They strive to get club organizations to be self-govern- ing. They struggle to finance better assembly programs. Unless they loved Regional, they would never have undertaken that brain-crushing job of preparing a complete handbook. Think of the Hall Patrol members. Think of the voluntary job that they do. It ' s not fun, and it ' s not easy to work alone at your station and oppose the wishes of thoughtless and impatient fellow students. But look at the results. Look at the good effect on school spirit. We can be proud of Regional, thanks to many things and to the Hall Patrol certainly. We Act 58 i? v ft + i HALL PATROL Homeroom members, and homeroom officers do their part to serve the good of the school. They build school spirit. In fact the homeroom is the foundation of student self-government. The homeroom serves the School Community Council, and the Council serves the homerooms — all for the good of the school. How about assemblies? Well, they bring every- body together each week. Here it is that we are enter- tained, amused, advised, and educated. Whatever happens and whatever the program is, we are together. That ' s the answer. We like to be together. Seated: G. Amorosa, I. Kummer, G. Campbell, W. Pullen, D. Sullivan, W. Taubert, G.

Find your hobbies; don ' t copy others. Be yourself. Know yourself. Copy no one. Democracy needs a variety of people, needs pioneers, not yes men and not robots. Be an individual.

Each fellow and each girl is assisted in finding the most suitable course, the most convenient schedule, and the most interesting club. Of course, we don ' t all make the same choices. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, you know — especially a democratic world, and a modern world. Don ' t take it for granted that advice is all that we get as we plod along the road of individualism. Far from it. Every fellow ' s needs are considered.

Tyranny often inspires cleverness and deceit, and by these two qualities it is often defended. Censorship and dictatorship make people hide their feelings as well as their wealth, their plans, and their hopes. It makes them lie and invent excuses. It destroys clubs and parties; censors music, art, and all forms of wholesome originality. To defend itself against the good majority dictatorship employs the cruelty and dishonesty of the minority (the secret police and the spies). In brief: in destroy- ing goodness, hope, and beauty, it destroys art and music. Let people enjoy music and art, create songs and pictures. j Jackson-Sm.th. E.

In history classes and in the library we learn that there is a great deal of wisdom to be gathered from history. Through French classes, Foreign Friend Club, and general reading we get a friendly under- standing of other peoples. Even from Shakespeare and other writers of literature we discover that there is more to be learned in good books about the destinies of the human race than we always admit to our tireless English teachers.

Encourage all doubters to do something themselves to make it work. Remind them of our freedom of speech, freedom of press, etc. Let the worried ones speak! Let everyone speak. Speaking, voting, sharing ideas — these exercises make the citizen valuable, develop his interest, guide his leaders. Result — Democracy does work. Regional orders — Speak freely — Speak thoughtfully. We Act When high school people have spirit, they are wide awake. When they have something to say, they say it. And when they say something worth while, they expect to be listened to. Naturally, all can ' t talk at one time if they are to be heard; so they learn to listen as well as to speak. Regional students have several ways of making their ideas known. Of course, many of them like to whisper in class and in study hall. We are talking about something else, however. Look at the Dayton News, The journalism Club, The Region- alogue (not such a bad book) and the Regionalogue Club, and the Debating Club. These are the places where Regionalites can make their ideas known. Of course every classroom is a place for discussion at times. Homeroom meetings and Council meetings are perfect op- portunities for stump speaking. Certainly dramas give an actor a chance to make himself be heard. Not all plays are dramas of opinion, but many are. DEBATING CLUB W- Buckfc £ i Blackman, • _, Metz. A. packer M j 8© T5fc left to right. A. kaw A. C ford (h.ddenK t- gachse l. .1.

Astrologers and fortune tellers wouldn ' t last long in the science classes, and rule-of-thumb calculations don ' t go in the mathematics department. Woe to the Easter bunny that would dare to lay an egg in the biology room! Our students must know the facts. By observation and experiment and by mathematical calculation, they must gather and test their knowledge of the natural world. When they meet a problem, they must tackle it with the clearness and carefulness of the scientific thinker. tiAft i NATURE CLUB Sitting, left to right: J. Van Haren, C. Melni, S. Mach rone, H.

A. boys build a modern brooder house without any outside assistance. They not only built it; they own it, operate it, and make money to use on their annual camping trip. Such a trip is fun, but it ' s highly edu- cational too. We ' ve seen the electric hotbed and the sash house — both built by the Ag classes. What they will build next we can ' t imagine. Frequently we don ' t see and we sometimes forget the numerous individual projects. Every Ag boy must carry out a practical and scientific enterprise each year. In many cases these undertakings need to be carried on throughout the sum- mer. Plants and animals don ' t arrange their lives for the con- venience of would-be vacationers. No, Sir, farming is a twelve- month business. Modern farmers must be on their toes. The rewards are for those who are alert. Competition sharpens their skills and their understanding.

Do you remember his words? I hear America singing. Do you remember that he liked to loaf and to in- vite his soul. There was America ' s man! There was democ- racy ' s man, all right! Regional students learn to sing, too. They learn how to loaf valuably — how to use leisure time wisely. They won ' t find that A g Vet free time is boring. In class work and in clubs they learn the value of hobbies. Knitting club, bowling club, aircraft club, chess club, intramural sports, camera club, music clubs — all these and others teach the loafers HOW to loaf, and how to nourish their SOUL. These interests build a good protection against despair, discouragement, and all the evils of idleness. Left to Right Front to Back, J Miceio, E. Po etsche, J. Zazeski T. Mulligan, A Smolinski, J.

Our motto, however, is Boys and girls together OFF the side- walks of New York — OFF the sidewalks of New Jersey too. Boys and girls together are learning how to avoid tiresome idle- ness and how to get into the wood shops, metal shops, print shops — how to get into the kitchens, into the sewing rooms, into the bakeries and shipyards of the nation — how to enjoy the pleasures and benefits of being productive, honored workers. The classes in domestic arts, the classes in shop work, the hostess clubs, the metal club, the Ag classes, the N. Y. A. projects, the Student-Aid jobs — all these things are teaching the boys and girls the most important things: how to work, how to enjoy work. i s-« ' . i. «%£ k , ' .. _ We Act CAFETERIA UH1.

You get honesty in the way that you get skill, and in the way that you get strength. You know how that is done. It is done by practice and exercise. Commercial classes, like bookkeeping, give plenty of drill and practice in honesty. Accuracy, thoroughness, carefulness, and completeness are qual- ities that develop a high sense of honesty. All commercial classes provide and require constant drill on such qualities. Honesty is the core of self-respect. It is the foundation of courage, the basis of all decency and morality.

When we are hav- ing an exciting game, when we want to let the team know how we feel about the game, when we have pretty cheerleaders calling on us to cheer and showing us how to do it — how could we resist? We cheer; we make ourselves heard for miles around. We even drown out the Rahway Valley freight locomotive when it comes down to the field to add its iron voice to the general clamor. rlJvtil2 23P r -- -- FOOTBALL Crash right through that line is just what the gridmen did. Our strong, conditioned eleven won four games and lost five. Several bad breaks, usually caused by weight disadvantages, accounted for several of our set backs just when victory was in sight. A hard-hitting foursome, Pushman, Street, Price, and Bubenas were the main stay of the back field; while Beers was relied on at center, Buczynski and Adams at tackle, Tomchak and Nagy at guards and Les Neville and DiBattista at ends. The past season ' s schedule was the hardest yet attempted, but the Brownmen, led by Co-captains Pushman Adams, handled the situation well and surprised many of our supposedly stronger op- ponents. Graduation will take its toll of our gridiron heroes as all but two of the varsity players will leave.

The boys finished second in the Big Five race, losing only by a margin of three points to Rahway in a play-off for the Championship, after both teams had completed their scheduled games each winning six and losing two. Without expecting the amazing success of last year ' s five, the quintet reached the semi-fina ls of the County Tournament only to lose a disheartening game to Hillside by the close count of 18-15. Although the boys were on the average smaller than those of former years, they were one of our most aggressive groups. Time and again this spirit compensated for their disadvantage in height; they outsmarted and outscored their taller opponents. Early in February Babe Pushman reached the age limit for scholastic athletics and had to drop out. John Yonk Wanca gained the honor of being high scorer in the Big Five, winning a total of 96 points. The quintet loses two veterans this year, Tom Casale and Art DiBattista. Next season will find us with a number of experienced players from our well trained and ever successful Jay Vee team.

Without a crowd of followers to cheer them on during their grueling competition, Mr. Cookman ' s boys fight on against fatigue, against distance and against the fleeting hands of the timer ' s relentless watch. Alfred Dahl and Allen Hambacher, both new this year, gained firsts and other high places. Dahl was chosen to be the team ' s captain. Dover defeated us 21-39. Our harriers were beaten by Weequahic 26-29. Union beat us 21-34; Plainfield 24-31. Our first victory was over West Side, where we placed second, third, and fourth. The score was 29-26. During the course of the season we won two meets and lost six. Next year will find the boys out on the course again training for the hard work. They have the spirit for competi- tion and sportsmanship that makes interscholastic athletics a builder of hardy men. The younger generation is growing soft. 86 , First Row: left to right: R.

WRESTLING Emerging triumphant in every one of its eight meets, the Wrestling team has gained the distinction of being the first major team in Regional history to battle through an undefeat- ed season. Dover and Jefferson were the only two schools that really gave our boys much trouble. Union, who had defeated us three times in previous years, was at last taken into camp. Many individual standouts were recorded this year — among them an amazing record of eight victories and seven pins scored by Roger Allcroft, while Bob Price bagged six vic- tories and one draw. Allcroft won first place in the Sectional Meet and second in the State, while Schoch won first in the Sectional and fourth in the State. On the bases of points in the regular schedule and in the Tournaments the team as a whole stood fifth in the state.

He performed brilliantly in the 100 yard dash, 220, 440 and in the broad jump, breaking the school record in the 100 yards by the time of 10-2 and shaving the 220 record. Ted Zygala and Bill Arthur were outstanding half-milers; while Bowlby, Mayer, and Hruby shared the mile honors. Lennox and Benkert starred in the hurdle races, going over both the highs and the lows in good time in all meets. In the field events we point with pride to the work of Danneman, Schramm and Schramm in the pole vault; Schramm, Schramm, Cree, and Bowlby in the high jump. We had the talent of Fedlesky, Street, and Price in the broad jump. In javelin throwing Sinclair and Kroehling and Beers served Alma Mater. In the strong-man group we depended on Bley and Sabio for the shot-put; Bley, Kreuger and Bob Keller for the discus. Coach Ceston, with the help of his two track-minded managers, Mike O ' Cone and R. Perezluha, did a fine job in developing the boys. In every event they responded to good coaching and showed improvement from week to week throughout the season.

Three singles and two doubles games com- prise a match in interscholastic tennis com- petition. In the first round of the State Tennis Tournament our men defeated a South Jersey opponent. In the semi-finals Tenafly proved to be too strong. 88 • Many personal achievements were scored by Co-Captains Carmen Peness and Bill Arthur, who ranked among the foremost doubles team in the state. Peness lost only one match the entire season, while Bill Arthur lost only two. The new 1941 Tennis season will bring many problems; for, with the exception of our experienced Henry Bock, the team will be composed of new men. Furthermore, our coach, Mr. Matthews, has been called to the army by the Selective Service Act. , Gt nt , W- m to ?V„v  ■■ (R.

The loss to West Orange was avenged later in the season, but the defeat by Rahway couldn ' t be repaid on account of un- relenting rains. A sample of Karalis ' sterling game was his winning of individual honors in the County meet. He, Jules Kamichoff, Joe L. Petrozelli, Joe Petrozelli, and Yonk Wan- ca, the pro ' s of the team, took second place to Rahway in the County meet. Not eager to be drenched by pouring rain, our divot diggers didn ' t venture to the state meet where only a few schools participated. Coach Haut deserves a great deal of credit for an excellent team!

Speedball — which is a combination of football, soccer, and basketball — was introduced to the girls in a field day at Trenton State Teacher ' s College. They became very much interested in this combination, but the glistening snow crystals drove the girls from the field into the basketball court.

Later came the ping pong contest, and, of course, all through the winter the girls have been going on Thursdays to the Westfield Y to keep up their swimming. When the white blanket of snow once more gave way to a carpet of green, the girls were itching to get their hands on the bat and ball. Although baseball keeps most of them busy, they have a side line of track and always look forward to the annual field day, where they show their speed.
