By this instrument let it be known that the fair city of Regional extends heartiest welcome to all those voyagers who sojourn here. In the hope that it may lend an hour of relaxation and reverie to the weary who seek solace from the mundane monotony about them, the ivory portals, so to speak, of this beloved city of learning are thrown wide apart with the magical turn of these pages. Within will be found the machinery of government, the populace itself, and the ways in which this populace exists. In this panorama one catches the American mode of life as it is reflected in the lives of typical young citizens of tomorrow. Here you will find a system of living and learning based on mutual cooperation and understanding. In this city the men and women of tomorrow ' s world seek to learn something of life, into which they will each soon contribute an individual share. They seek to avoid the numerous pitfalls which wait to ensnare them. Through honest work and hearty play they complete that period of life called by some the most beautiful. Yet with shining hopes and with strong minds and bodies, they face the future unafraid, full of determination to take their rightful place in the world, whatever it may be. The departing citizens of Regional City give thanks for the atmosphere of friendly fellowship and congeniality which surrounded them during their stay and leave their Alma Mater with a feeling of gratitude.

Under his able guidance we were able to throw off the shadow of defeat (it was more than a shadow) and won our first football game in 1943. Mere adjectives cannot fully express the qualities he possesses for he is congenial, generous, likeable, with an unlimited understanding and a sense of fair play. He is a vital and necessary personality at Regional. We ' re sure the underclassmen will appreciate his continued performance at Regional. The Professor has proved himself a capable instructor in the classroom as well as on the gridiron. The Class of ' 46 takes pleasure in wishing the best of luck and success to a deserv- ing recipient and hereby we dedicate our yearbook to a friend indeed, Arthur Boutot. Served -jt rthe SlNIOP. 5fltt Page 7 cfiworkytess w We look toward the future with the hope that a better world may be born from the awful disaster of war. The promise of that better day rests primar- ily in the training of young Americ a by our schools. Responsibility accepted and discharged under com- petent instruction is the most forceful educational means that exists for developing good citizenship. Regional High School recognizes its responsibilities and accepts its obligations by providing opportunities, far beyond book-learning, to develop in its students those desirable qualities which will enable them to carry their weight of responsibility in the world of today.

S W F m « £ mI ' Iff r r  ' • C 5 ' emar am PEARL GOLD Sweet and gay, kindly and enthusiastic, Pearl was a wonderful friend to have. Honorable, helpful, and trust- worthy, she enjoyed all her school work. Her chief inter- est, however, was drawing, especially fashion-designing. Her notebooks were filled with evidence of that, but she trusted her fingers to handle a baseball bat, too. Pearl knew that friendship could not be one-sided and all those with whom she came in contact found that they were met more than halfway. Let us smile as we wave farewell where the long road bends, Let us sing to the vow that makes us for- ever friends. Page 18 c hTfyemer am ALFRED LOESSEL Laughter, happy memorable times are what we remem- ber of Al. He possessed a gift of friendliness which put one at ease in a group. He was the life of the party, the spirit that made every affair a success. Yet, when the occasion called for seriousness, Al appreciated this and responded more deeply than one might think he would. His humor, simplicity, and love of people came from love of life and of the good earth itself. With his Will Rogers philosophy, he found life ' s complexities a challenge. — Oh, never a doubt but, somewhere, I shall wake and give what ' s left of love again, and make new friends, now strangers. ...

Eleanor Kr k Good health is a necessity in every city, thus Regional is proud of her efficient health department. To begin with there is the annual health examination conducted every fall by Dr. Watson B. Morris (free to all citizens of the city). Any condition that needs atten- tion is reported to the parents of those con- cerned. Many other routine health matters checked by Mrs. Montgomery, the full time registered nurse in charge of the Health Office, are, first, heights and weights. Then comes the T. B. tests and x-rays, carried on through the assistance of the Red Cross Home Nursing Unit and the Health Office Assistants. Freshmen and those negative from the preceding year are given the Patch Test and then those that are positive this year and from previous years are x-rayed. During the winter months, Mrs. Mont- gomery uses the Snellen eye test, and in the spring a hearing test is given to all fresh- men, juniors, and new students. Parents are notified of deficiencies shown also by these tests. The dental examinations, again include all residents. Dr. Jack B. Wasserman checks all freshmen and seniors. He spends one morning a week at the Health Office in order to treat those who request service. This year, several volunteers are engaged in an inter- esting experiment by agreeing to use a mouth wash containing flourine. Recently it was found that flourine is helpful in control- ling tooth decay. At the end of a year, the results of the group will be checked.

In taking temperatures, applying dressings, keeping records, and even giving out bicarbs, the ever faithful staff of the health assistants are always on hand. To these, and last though not least, to Mrs. Montgomery, Regional City gives a vote of thanks for such a modern and effective health department. Page 32 v DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Page 53 The cafeteria is a non-profit organization man- aged by Miss Margaret Maitland. The kitchen is equipped with modern conveniences, such as an au- tomatic potato peeler and dishwasher. Here one finds the center of school life — a place to study, to attend meetings, and to feed the starving body. In addition to what they bring from home, the students consume each day a great deal of food, amounting to, for instance, 700 bottles of milk, 40 quarts of soup, plus salads and vegetables. Occasionally, Happy Birthday rings out through the air. This is one of those ancient customs, greet- ing a friend and fellow student on that very im- portant day. Sometimes a group will give an im- promptu party with cake and ice cream. Even though the crash of a milk bottle and the attendant rush for t he brush and pan may break in on the flow of conversation, the cafeteria will always be remembered as a place of friendliness. ' etisrtdi Page 54 guidance The G. O. operates under the competent direction of Mr. Vincent Thompson, with the assistance of teacher counsellors. The various counsellors are as- signed and each interviews the students in his group. Students have two regularly scheduled conferences with their counsellor during the school year, a prog- ress conference in the fall and a scheduling confer- ence in the spring. In addition, a student may ask for a conference with his counsellor when he needs some special help or assistance. The purpose of this important part of the citizen- ship program of Regional City, is to provide the necessary help and information for the educational, personal, and social guidance of the student. It also helps them understand how they can live more happy and useful lives. Instructive material of most known fields of endeavor is available for the pupils to ex- amine in order to discover the possibilities of chosen occupations or life work. A special division of the Guidance Department is The Veterans ' Council. This gives information regarding educational and vocational possibilities to returning veterans. Want to go to college, learn about jobs, or get some help with a special problem? Drop in at the G. O. and get the facts. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE Page 53 ftmmMlf Center, seated: Joyce Wise.

Answer: the members of the Library Council. Besides that they take care of the mail, prepare new books for the shelves, and collect those sweet little notes that tell you you owe the fabulous sum of a penny. All this is done in the two periods that each member of the club is required to work during the week in the library. During club periods the members work on proj- ects such as mounting pictures on various subjects to be kept in the files. These mounts are used for class room reports and various types of classroom projects. The club members also work on the school scrapbook. Through this club students are given an oppor- tunity to contribute service to the school through the library and also gain a close knowledge of librarian- ship as a profession. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE Page .57 Qswe ad 0 $C Atfk Br-r-r-ng! Hah! Fire drill! Then the inhabitants of Regional City dash out into the winter cold for two or three minutes and file back — all this in a quiet, orderly manner. The scheduled fire drills, two a month, are required as a step in safety education for the residents in their citizenship training. Mr. Frey has charge of giving the signal, that often is a welcome interruption for Re- gional citizens hard at work. But it is also a fine thing to know that the chief munici- pal building can be emptied in record time. The Driver ' s Club has one aim, and that is to develop good citizens into better driv- ers. This is done through the perfect under- standing and knowledge of traffic rules and regulations. Students of this club learn con- servation and maintenance of cars, automo- tive principles, and driver qualifications. They also learn their community responsi- bility by determining accident causes and discussing pedestrian problems. Yes, you can be sure that a graduate of the Driver ' s Club will be a perfect future driver and pedestrian — at least they should be.

The Hall Patrol is composed of over 60 members, all voluntary. Each member is as- signed to a post and should be on time each day. Some of their duties are to keep the halls clear and see that the students have official passes. If the Hall Patrol does a good job they are rewarded with an outing.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Q iftm7h tftfg Regional, like any other city, would be lost with- out its newspaper, the Dayton News. There are three vital things that keep the News running smoothly, the Journalism Ciub, the Day- ton News Staff and the Printing Club. In the Jour- nalism Club the citizens of the Regional City study the different phases of the newspaper work, find out the do ' s and don ' ts of the newspaper business, and learn how to be efficient reporters. They practice all this by writing some of the articles for the Dayton News. A paper wouldn ' t be much of a paper without a staff. The Dayton News staff is responsible for seeing that articles are in on time, that they ' ve found out all the latest news and coming sports events, also social events such as dances, plays, and concerts. Last of all, the staff is responsible for the paper coming out on time, every two weeks. Still there is one more step in the turning out of a newspaper, the printing. In Printing Club, the fel- lows learn just how to set up the type and all that goes with running a well printed newspaper off the press. The combination of these three groups produce our city paper, the Dayton News.

' ogue (%b The Regionalogue Club has always assumed many of the routine jobs connected with the editing of the school yearbook. Gathering information, check- ing clerical work, and running down write-ups are but a few of the many details involved. This year the members of the club were given a chance to become members of the staff by meeting assignments given out by the editors or Miss Hand. Miss Johnson has also made use of club members in many of the routine jobs of the layout department, such as identifying pictures, making arrangements for and collecting informal snapshots or candids. Thus, the aim this year has been, as always, through continued cooperation with the staff and faculty advisers to help turn out a bigger and better yearbook. Pag e 62 i v 1 I 1 d k ih xona oaae y The City yearbook, Regionalogue, containing a complete record of activities, went to press before March 15th. Only the staff and the faculty advisers know what that means. Weeks of work beginning prior to Christmas, with layout and literary staffs working in dovetail fashion under the supervision of Miss Katherine Johnson and Miss Elizabeth Hand made this possible. Picture taking schedules, write-ups, deadlines, proofreading, designing of art content, all had to make that material fit together like a jig-saw puzzle into the pages of the layout. In addition, all had to fit into the general theme, that of a city government to which Regional is very aptly compared. Irma Shallcross headed the literary staff which, chosen after successful completion of assignments, were responsible for write-ups, covering everything from the table of contents to the last bit of nonsense uttered by Man About Town. The members of the layout staff, under the watchful eye of Dominich Limone, used plenty of drawing pencils and india ink to make this yearbook one of the finest. James Lovell, heading the business staff, reported over six hundred copies sold, through the efforts of his super- salesmen. Mr. J. Stanley Werner, business faculty adviser, directed the sales campaign. Miss Carol Kraft, faculty adviser for the ads, supervised the writing of copy for these adver- tisements, so essential to yearbooks. To all those connected with the yearbook, editors, general staff, and faculty advisers, Regional City should express its gratitude for this 1945-46 record of activities, so well planned and executed.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Perhaps the most important part of our student life is the Student Council. It consists of five officers and a representative from each homeroom. The offi- cers are elected by the student body the preceding spring and the representatives are elected by their homeroom members in the fall. These students are counseled by two teachers, Miss Carolyn Kraft and Mr. Henry Rhode. Every Thursday morning the Student Council meets in room 214 and discusses student problems and how to eliminate them. It has sponsored such drives as the War Bond Drives ' and the March of Dimes. Every year the Council gives two dances: one in October, the Halloween Jamboree; and one in May, the May Pole Dance. This year because of new rulings about fire-proof decorations the school has not been allowed to use crepe paper on the ceil- ing of the gym for the dances. The council has bought a fire proof ceiling which can be used at all the dances. These are only a few of the many help- ful things our student council does for us, the student body.

(fyanor Qfa Si This year the National Honor Society of Regional, as usual, has been functioning for the purpose of en- couraging good scholarship. Although it may seem like a very select group, anyone with a reasonably high standing can become a member, providing he is a junior or a senior. A new constitution has been approved for this year, a step toward simplifying student government. Along with this, new Honor Society scholarships have been discussed and acted upon. Each year, the Honor Society awards prizes in the following to a deserving boy or girl: English, foreign languages, social studies, mathematics and science, and commercial subjects. These are presented at the graduation and constitute quite an honor in themselves. In conclusion the Honor Society has proven to be a worthy addition to the many activities at Regional and has provided an incentive to serious students.

Boys with a purpose in mind, with eagerness to do a good job, and with a will to win, they have been earning while learning all through their Ag course. Regional ' s Future Farmers have won many laurels in the classroom, in the farm shop, and in the field. This year ' s highlight of activities was the apple packing contest. Three years ago, Metz and Kroehling won the first leg on the state plaque; two years ago, Bahr and Ledermann won the second leg; this year Will Thomas and Skip Stiles finished the job. You should have heard the boys say, Hello, Ma, we dood it over the radio station WEAF! Our Aggies not only crack the books studying, win contests, but cooperate with others to give more charity when needed. With the aid of the Home Economics girls, the Ag boys did a swell job in packing food in their modern community cannery to send abroad to help feed the starving school children of Europe. The traditional expression of their Yuletide generosity was shown by the annual collection of food stuffs and funds. The boys donate Christmas food baskets to the needy in the school area. The Ag boys have, as well, a practical poultry project. Three hundred baby chicks start this project which is carried on besides their activities in farm shop work and lab work with seeds and soils. The annual banquet for both the parents and the Future Farmers is a most popular social in their school lives. Then, too, the annual educational trip, with its shows, dinners, and getting lost in railroad stations is all part of the never to be forgotten Ag training. Regional Ag boys of today, America ' s successful men of tomorrow — is the slogan our Ag teacher, Mr. Peigelbeck would have us learn.

That is what the girls in the Last Minute Club are learning. Practice makes perfect. So the girls have been keeping in practice by making cookies for the P.T.A. Have an old dress that needs fixing? The girls in the Home Ec Club are getting to be experts at making old things look like new. But that is not all they do. Emphasis has been placed on personality, good groom- ing and manners. Through the activities of these clubs the girls will absorb the necessary facilities needed as the wives of tomorrow. •%n Page 69 ftand Orchestra, Front row, left to right: Ruth Shallcross.

Majorettes The entertainment facilities of the city are greatly en- hanced by two instrumental organizations, the band and the orchestra. Whether in assembly, at pep rallies, or on the football field, the Regional Band is right in step with the spirit of R. H. S. The band provides the enthusiasm or spirit necessary for games without which Regional City would be lacking a very important factor. Working hard under Mr. David Rus- settes ' leadership, the band has proved itself to be a worthy organization, showing fine spirit and displaying genuine in- terest in all their activities. The majorettes and twirlers are the high-light accessories of the band. They provide added sparkle to the performance. Ruth Shallcross, as majorette, has been a fine leader in all respects, for there ' s more to this job than strutting out front. The twirlers with their light and agile fingers captivate the game audiences while they spin their batons in time to the music. It ' s no easy trick to hold on to that baton when it really gets going. Under the direction of Miss Mildred Midkiff the orches- tra has had a very busy year. Playing for all the concerts of the year, for neighboring grammar schools, P. T. A. meetings, and of course the senior play, it has provided a lot of enter- tainment for the residents of Regional and their guests. Right in the groove, working hard at rehearsals, they ' ve made a name and a place for themselves in this city. Incidentally, the members say they enjoy the work, it ' s fun!

The two main programs given by the groups are the Christmas Program and the Spring Concert, although special performances are given at P.T.A. ' s and assemblies. Besides the satisfaction of performing well, there is a great deal of enjoyment in the companionship and feeling of cooperation which is so much a part of music. The Girl ' s Glee Club and the Male Chorus are special groups which are on their own, so to speak, while the Mixed Choir is for both boys and girls. The Ensemble is a small group of mixed singers, who have special music training. All in all, there certainly is a great deal of op- portunity to learn something about singing and music in general here at Regional. Besides being educa- tional, it ' s also a lot of fun. }{ ChawL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Page 73 Front row, left to right: Norbcrt KufTncr, Beverly Bauer, Ruth Cameron, Anne Grcve.

There are two typing clubs. In one club the members try to type and find out how to use those mysterious little black keys. This was started to give those who are not enrolled in regular typing class a chance to learn the keyboard for their own personal use. Then there is the club for experienced typists only. The members work on bud- ets and work out fancy designs. The Business Girls ' club is con- cerned chiefly with molding the character of a good business woman. Plays, discussions, and readings are held to acquaint the girls with the do ' s and don ' ts of the business world. We feel that our Regionalites will qualify in all respects.

V xfeW Club Do you know about Microbes? Viruses? Spiro- chetes? Bacteria? Richettesiae ? The lovers of na- ture who flock around Doc learn about all these and lots of the other things. It ' s fun — if you like that kind of fun — to cut a frog apart and see what makes it tick. Along with learning the tales of na- ture, you get acquainted with the specimens that make their homes in the bottles on the shelves. Walks through the woods enable the members to get ac- quainted with the different trees, leaves, and various wild flowers — but beware of the poison ivy.

They have earned the respect and gratitude of everyone at Regional with their invaluable encourage- ment and help in building clean and wholesome sport in the school. The football season is terminated each year by a banquet given in honor of the team by this organization at which awards are presented to worthy boys on the team. Besides this, they have provided needed equipment and the means to carry on athletic activities. It is with great pride that Re- gional salutes you, Boosters ! THE PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The Parent-Teachers Association is the connecting link between the school and the home. Ea ch year they plan a program which provides for six meetings held in the high school auditorium. The theme for this year is Education the Keystone of Peace. Mrs. Charles Bauman, president of the association, is the presiding officer. Miss Alice Benfer, faculty repre- sentative and Bernard Buchhola, student representa- tive, assist with the planning of these meetings. Besides this a scholarship fund, sponsored by them, provided for aid where needed by Regional City students. TEACHERS ASSOCIATION As a professional organization, the Teachers ' As- sociation is concerned with educational trends in both New Jersey and the nation as a whole. Representa- tives attend meetings in many centers of interest so that Regional City ' s teachers may exchange ideas with similar organizations in other schools. Socially, the group gathers several times during the year at picnics and teas, where everyone enjoys the relaxation and fun of these informal activities.

The committees for all school dances are hard working groups but especially so for the big event of the year — The Junior Prom. On this evening, the juniors en- tertain the seniors in a gala affair. The gym is transformed with mural decorations and a ceiling into a beautiful room. The guests appear in formal attire, the music is always of the best, and the entertainment and refreshments cannot be sur- passed. Cooperation of students and teachers make this one of the high spots on the school calendar. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC RELATIONS Page 79 Page SO The big theatrical event of Regional City ' s 1945-46 season was the presentation in the Jona- than Dayton auditorium of My Sister Eileen on the evenings of April fifth and sixth. A former Broadway success, later a popular movie, the play, under the direction of Miss Betty McCarthy, was a direct hit for the senior class, who spon- sored it. Betty Jane Knauss in the title role, Eileen, and Margaret Brahm as Ruth, both did an excellent piece of work. The male leads, also worthy of notice were taken by George Vohden and Frank Petzinger. The rest of the cast, equally well chosen, did a fine supporting job. Due credit should be given to those behind-the- scenes actors, the managers, the prop-men, stage hands, make-up artists and ticket salesmen. The committees were headed as follows: Tickets: Betty Belles, Clara Denslinger; Make- up: Barbara Sachsel, Mary Ann Coleman; Pub- licity: Ardelle Sebedra, Mary Taber; Properties: Doris Nielson, Neil Irving. Unstinted praise should be given to all those connected in any way with this ambitious under- taking.

Assisting and associated with the activities of these same de- partments, the clubs function in that capacity. Various types of music are studied by the Music Club, such as jazz, classical and popular — the three B ' s, Gershwin and James. The actual concerts given at Christmas, with its impressive candle light pro- cessional and in the spring, when music festivals flourish, are put un- der Misj Mildred Midkiff ' s super- vision. These are supported in whatever way possible by the mem- bers of the Music Club. Some of them belong to the choral and in- strumental groups taking part. The Dramatics Club spends its time reading plays and acting them out in club periods. They are work- ing on a radio skit, The Life and Loves of Joan Davis, to be given for an assembly program.

In some of the club periods plays were read and dis- cussed, in others some of the hams were given a chance to act in order to satisfy that urge. The club made a field trip to New York to see Dear Ruth. They plan to give a short play in assembly and use their knowl- edge of theater workings. Another group connected, actually, with theater interests is the Stage Hands Crew. Hats off to them! They take care of the many irksome jobs connected with real per- formances in the city ' s chief theater, the Jonathan Dayton Auditorium. Sometimes it lUeems like a thankless job, but without their JL . ' fforts the show would not go on.

The members, under Mr. William Titley ' s leadership, have also be- come familiar with the various types of photographic equipment and the technique of using them. Home movie sets have been of special interest to these Regional City club members. Also during the course of the year pictures shown at neighboring thea- ters have been reviewed. Whenever movies are shown in the audi- torium some skilled person has to operate the machine. This requires patience and practice, for running a movie machine with a sound track is no small task! So here ' s where the movie operators come in. This small group takes care of this part of Re- gional ' s entertainment program in a very expert manner.

Habla en espanol? The language clubs are very active groups in the life of the city. The French and Spanish Clubs are similar. During the Christmas season the members can be seen wandering the halls singing carols in their learned languages. Don ' t be surprised if you get a Christmas card written in a foreign language! Your friends in these clubs may like to show their knowledge and save money at the same time by mak- ing their own cards. Still another of their annual activities is to give a play in assembly. The Latin Club, now called the Vocabulary Club is a bit different. The origin and derivation of words is their chief study, particularly those words that the future doctors and nurses of the city may need to know. In order to acquaint them with their future profession, some study of human anatomy and bone structure has been made. Under the sponsorship of the Language Depart- ment, the clubs assisting the classes have collected $150 to aid in rehabilitating a small school in south- ern France, Ecole de Saint-Agnes. This amount takes care of clothing, dental aids, and vitamin need s for each child for one year. In addition overseas boxes containing soaps, chocolate, school supplies, and personal needs are being sent.

The girls busily work on stuffed animals which have made many a sick child happy or on afghans which have helped keep many a person warm. The fellows work hard down in the woodshop making ash trays and bed trays, that help make life easier for veterans in neighboring hospitals. The Art Club does its share in helping the Red Cross, too. Their contributions of favors, hospital trays and menus to the bed- ridden veterans have made a reputation for the club. The aim of the Art Club is to be of serv- ice to the school whenever possible. Evi- dence of this is seen all over the school, with the many posters, signs, displays and dance decorations, or whatever the need may call for.

Panel discussions are held with other schools and an active part is taken in the larger representative forums within the county and state. The Radio Club, under the guidance of Mr. Crane was divided into two parts: one for theory and one for construction. Working in groups, the boys constructed a receiver in school. (Here comes the tech- nical!) The three tube regenerative radio was of a special design that emphasized re- ception of the amateur ten meter band. Each group tested the quality of the reception of their receiver via a dipole antenna placed in the classroom and a common 72-ohm matched impedance line. Such experience makes trips to Radio City and the transmitter at Carteret of much more lasting value.

Vari- ety programs, movies, speakers, plays, and concerts show the range of entertainment that they must pro- vide and help carry out. Drawing the program material from inside and outside of Regional City ' s walls, the task of seeing that all runs smoothly is no small one. The commit- tee serving primarily in an administrative capacity, must often turn to and help the stage hands, the movie operators, or Miss McCarthy, Assembly Di- rector, in whatever way they can to keep the program functioning as it should. A thankless, undersung job. Regionalites should thank them for their continued conscientious efforts. to • % q o tfiL v e, Page 91 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC RELATIONS rVr ZT3 i s t .sw 15 lL ' 16.

The games won might be fewer than expected but the unusually fine spirit shown promises to continue for next year, when prospects really look bright. Regional dropped the first two games to Summit and Cranford but came back strong to make a winning streak, crushing Somer- ville, Caldwell and Roselle. However, Un- ion, which was considered a soft touch, dim- med the Bulldog ' s glory with a muddy 12-0 defeat. Regional then bounced back to trounce Roxbury 25-7, making up for the bitter defeat suffered at their hands last year. This game, however, was Regional ' s last vic- tory for the season, Highland Park and Rail- way taking the last two games. Despite the disappointments the season was a good one, full of fight and spirit.

Using a zone defense and a hard driving offense Coach Hohn ' s boys were able to take 13 out of 18 scheduled games, no opponent winning more than one game from them. The Bulldogs showed their spirit, ability and perseverance in com- ing back after three straight losses near the end of the season when they won the county championship by beating Edison, Union, Roselle Park and Linden in the county tournament. Captain Bob Belleveau was not only a fine and able leader but supplied the scoring punch needed by averaging 15 points per game. Bobs brothers, Roy and Don, were invaluable getting the ball off the backboards and setting up plays from the bucket. Johnny Bunnell distinguished himself throughout the county by his tournament play in holding the best scorers the opposition could offer and scoring hnmself. When the blue chips were down Bugs Thorpe could be called on and depended upon to come through. Frank Moroli ' s speed, drive, and left- handed shooting and Walt Street ' s pass work and set shooting were factors which we could not have done without. The J.V. ' s also boasted a fine record of 14 wins out of the 18 games. With such fine ball handlers as Ed Livak, Art Silva, and George Soltes supported by Dick Danneman and Phil Kelly, Coach Hohn looks forward with confidence to next year.

Matcn state Meets Coach Joseph D Co -Ma« aget A.way £ 96 r The Wrestling Team had a fairly successful sea- son this year under the able coaching of Mr. Joseph attaglia. Even though it was discouraging to lose the first two matches to Newton 40-0, and to Wash- ington 26-13, hopes soared when the next three were won. Jefferson was the first to realize the strength of the team by giving in to it 34-10. The next de- feated foe was Admiral Farragut 34-5 and, finally, the victory over Teaneck 27-15. The next match was reluctantly given up to Roselle Park with the close score of 77-81. The Blair Academy match was also a loss, the score being 23-13. Although, not having done too well this year, the team will be well prepared for 1946-47. Even though graduating letter men like Bob Runyon, George Vohden, Charles Calderaro, and Jack Lafay- ette will be missed, with the experience the under- classmen acquired, they should do well next year.

Coach Boutot brought out the best the track team had in them and as a result starred many individual members throughout the season. Among them were Bruce Davis, captain and high scorer of the year, who broke the Union County pole vault record with a vault of 11 feet, 8 inches. He also placed con- sistently in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, broad jump, and low hurdles. Bruce Davis, Steve Becmer and Charlie Maguire rounded out the famous 100 and 220 yard dash trio. A great many of Regional ' s points were collected in the high and low hurdles by George Conley and Don Simms. Ray Alley, Steve Terrel, Frank Petzinger and Harvey Schramm kept the Orange and Blue in the distance events. Starring in the javelin throw was a freshman sensation, Roy Belliveau, who also showed running ability. With such returning lettermen as Dick Neilson to do our high jumping, Ray Alley, Al Nierenkerken and Steve Terrel specializing in the distance events, Don Simms pole vaulting and hurdling, Roy Belli- veau with his trusty javelin and Steve Becmer at his old post in the dashes, Regional should continue to receive notice for its track activities.

Second row: Michael Gumek, Arthur Silva, George Smith, Ernest Gonczlik, John Hoe- sele. Page 99 The Harriers had a tough season this year only winning three out of the nine. They defeated Cran- ford, Plainfield, and Westfield. Captain Ray Alley and a newcomer, John Hoesly, were always racing each other to the tape. The captain for next year, Charlie Ford, wasn ' t far behind them in the mad sprint for the finish line. The big, red Swede, Carl Dahlgren, and George Smith invariably raced out ahead to take the lead of the runners at the start of the race. The big surprise of the year was Richard Van Blarcum, who raced in to take fifth place in the last event of the year. Artie Silva practically ran the opposing harriers ragged, always keeping up along- side of their leading man. The manager, Joe Yastine, aided the team greatly, arranging meets, getting transportation, and inspiring them on their well run meets. DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION The 1944-45 tennis team was sponsored by Miss Charlotte Chilton. It had meets with Summit, North Plainfield, and Plainfield. Although the tennis team was inexperienced, it made a very good showing. In the North Plainfield meet Joe Malozzi beat their star player. The rest of the team didn ' t do as well, but they provided excellent competition for the more experienced teams. The other teammates were Val Palmer, John Bunnell, Glenn Phillips, and ' Bob Gilbert. qfewiL Left to right: Edward Leonard, Glenn Phillips, John Bunnell, Joseph Mallozzi, Valfrid Palmer. ■w Jtiifc OCKERS - MW wmm m.

With this in mind, as well as the desire to sharpen their competitive edge, Regional ' s golfers participated in matches in the spring of ' 45. For the record, they added six wins and four losses. Carmen Petrozziello was the lead-off man, fol- lowed by Fred Edwards, Bob Savitsky, Pete Genesi, and Gene Sacco.

That familiar sound which comes from the gym each Tuesday morning means Regional City ' s future cheerleaders are being put through their paces. The girls in the club do a lot of real honest-to- goodness hard work. They work on routines, practice hand-springs, and learn how. to direct the populace in spirit-raising cheers and songs. If they show progress and ability they are apt to be among the lucky ones chosen to lead in the cheering of the city teams on to victory. Thus, they become members of one of Regional ' s most energetic and colorful groups, the cheerleaders. Page 102 Cheerleader First row, left to right: Margaret Palmer, Barbara Dee, Kay Titley.

Basketball hockey and swimming were the three chief sports enjoyed during the 1945-46 season by the girls of Regional City. In this the second year of competitive playing the basketball senior and junior teams chalked up a no defeat schedule. For the Senior team it was the second straight. Scotch Plains, Union, Cranford, and Millburn were the schools the girls took over. The girls went out for hockey in a big way this year, with success the result. Practicing every day after school during the October-November season meant that in playing Union, Westneld and Hillside the senior team won twice, tied once and lost twice. The junior team had two of its members, Helen Smith and Ann Phillippa make the all-state team. Speaks well for next year. Swimming practice at the Y.M.C.A. brought out a good sized group. Strokes and techniques for each were studied as well as many types of diving. The swan dive, jack knife and back dive while at first difficult for the team soon were finally performed with Esther Williams ' perfection! Come on in, girls, the water ' s fun ! The G.A.A. is the governing body for all the above sports, which under the direction of Mrs. Haverstick enjoyed such a fine season.

The members of the Handicraft Clubs are busy as bees working on their various projects. Some of the girls enjoy weaving odd belts, while others like to hear the click, click, click of knitting needles. Some of the boys are making model air- planes and some are getting to be experts at wood-carving. What a variety of handicraft articles they will have to show at the end of the year! Other members of the club have been helping out the Red Cross by making card table covers and stuffing toy animals.

Modern dancing was a new- comer to Regional City last year. The girls have shown a great deal of interest in this art, which they find different and fascinating. The class is again this year under the able leadership of Peggy Sorge and directed by Mrs. Haverstick. Social dancing, held in the gym classes on Wednesday and during lunch periods other days, gives the residents of Regional a chance to gain charm and poise. The latest steps may be practiced and then used at the special dances of the season.

You couldn ' t call them faulty. But now that she is almost ninety, The folks just call her Baldy. A cheerful kid with wit at will, Our Howarth was just swell. Yes, Wesley ' s very cheerful still. He loves his padded cell. Runyon ' s brain was quite the thing. It couldn ' t be much finer. Why don ' t you give the guy a ring? Scrubs floors in Gibson ' s Diner. The Titley twins made quite a team, Popular, sweet, and pretty. Today, they ' re still right on the beam. Best street cleaners in the city. To cut a rug made Tabor gay. She swore it as her hobby. I ' d hate to see her dance today, ' Cause gosh, she ' s fat and wobbly. Caswell, Babs, was very bright, And full of various talents. Now people say she ' s not quite right. Her brain has lost its balance. A well-groomed lass with shining locks, Was little Vic Cirillo. Today her hair cleans pans and pots, Because it looks like Brillo. Rudy ' s gab just didn ' t cease. There wasn ' t an ear he couldn ' t chew. Well, now we all can rest in peace. He lost his voice in ' 52. Jonsey, who had the looks indeed Made many a guy a lovesick case. Today, she poses for ads which read, Only a mother could love that face. Clara ' s world was full of fun. She laughed her way to fame. Those days are absolutely done. Deadpan Denslinger is her name. Don and Ethel ' s love was dear. We thought they ' d never part. But Voelker took a gun last year, And Shot Simms through the heart. Muscle-man with lots of speed, Red Vohden was just fine. His muscles serve him well, indeed, As leader in a chorus line. Actor, student, friend to all, Frank P. rated tops. His image now roams Regional ' s halls Pushing brooms and mops. Ant could boogie, man oh man! She threw those hips around. One day she backed into a fan, And now she ' s muscle bound. A knittin ' gal with poise and charm, P. Crawford ' s hands were skilled. She now milks cows on her own farm, And keeps the buckets filled. In basketball, Bob ' s skill was sharp. Some folks would call it snappy. Today, when tiring of his harp, His yo-yo makes him happy. Sweet, attractive, quite a gal, Who could that be but Gunse? Today she ' s every fellow ' s pal. Been married more than once. Dorrie was a pretty lass. Her boy-friends were so numerous. Fifteen years have come to pass, And now her looks are humorous. Barlow had a toothpaste smile. He made the females hum. The folks who see him once in a while Say, Hello, Gaping Gums. Sports were made for Walter Street, A regular guy by far. Yes, Walter ' s still a fine athlete. Just watch his kiddie car. Rowena ' s voice was in its prime. We hardly heard her speak. Her mouth ' s ajar now all the time, Sword-swallowing twice a week. Songstress, and talented at the piano, Ginny entertained us for many a day. We thought she would be another Diana. Ha-ha, she ' s a stand-in for Danny Kaye. A fine physique had Mr. Thorpe. He should have been a model. His bones are now beginning to warp, And Bugs looks like a bottle. Power ' s clothes were up to date. They cost him quite a bit. But Georgie ' s gained a lot of weight, And now they just won ' t fit.
