Acclaimed as the first teacher to have stepped through the portals of Regional High, Doc has served faithfully and surely for eighteen years. Class after class has prospered by his seemingly endless store of knowledge gathered from the far corners of the earth and only after years of intense study and hard-won experience. Many, even, have chosen to explore fur- ther the mystery-laden realms into which he let them first peek, whetting their natural curiosity toward life ' s innermost secrets, and some have even decided to make it their life ' s work. Few others have had the benefits of Doc ' s extensive collections which helped to bring more readily the wonders of bi- ology before the eyes of his students. Few also have had the benefit of Doc ' s un- derstanding nature and sympathetic ear except we here at Regional High. He is truly one to make hard work and study seem enjoyable. For all these and many other reasons we would like now to present . . . ALFRED E. COOKMAN Even his halls crawl with Lepidoptere and Aves.

With the arrival for work, of course — so — our knights, squires and pages pour off the buses, cross the drawbridge (?) and enter the palace gate (opened earlier by the palace keeper). The ladies of the palace fuss and preen; the knights parade the halls in search of dragons (?); the ministers of state proclaim that the palace day has begun — hours of arduous training are in store for the young courtiers but there is time for relaxing, socializing, feasting and court entertainment. Days when tournaments are held are show days at the palace but the palace balls are the high- lights in the knights ' training. Join us for a day in the palace. Letting down the drawbridge.

THE POWERS BEHIND THE THRONE WARREN W. HALSEY Supervising Principal As coordinator of all palace activities, Mr. Halsey has guided his ministers of state, knights and squires through their years here at court ever since the palace was built. His example of fair- ness, sportsmanship, courtesy and sincere interest in all phases of palace life has set a goal for all, from the lowliest page to the head knight. fine court life inspiring and valuable. NORMAN MURRAY Assistant Principal Now that the palace popula- tion has increased, Dr. Murray is helping to smooth out the assign- ing of duties to the knights, squires and pages, transporting them to the castle, checking on their progress and attendance while in training, and making sure of their qualifications for pro- gressing toward knighthood. 12 THE PA L AC E A D V I S E R S who planned the new palace.

We, as a student body, seldom hear them or see them but we know they are always behind us in all our undertakings. These past few years these noblemen have been especially busy and have given up much of their leisure time to plan and make sure our brand new palace was the best in the land. Every part of this new building we love so well, has come about only after careful consideration and planning on their part. This year for the first time we have facilities as we have never had before, ranging from the newest in science equipment to the best home economics utensils. All this is due to the powers behind the throne — the Board of Education. 13 THE FACULTY 14 SENIOR MINISTERS OF STATE Mr. Soft, Miss McCarthy, Miss Crawford, Miss Murphy, Mr. Hohn, and Mr. Skarbnik about to start court council. with the kelp of the Ministers of State 15 LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Margaret Gants, Charlotte Singer, Marian Salanitro, Martha Stang.

Wash day blues. LANGUAGES Regional offers a great variety of languages for its students. These consist of German, French, Spanish, and Latin. These courses not only teach the language itself but also include its background, in relation to the country, people and customs. A German student shows pictures of his land. SCIENCE Our Science Department offers a well- rounded course for all students interested. All our labs are well equipped. Most of the equipment is in excellent condition or new. With the help of this equipment, the students are not confined to simple and required work but also can go into the complex work that is usually out of the grasp of most high school students. Miss 600th renders assistance. What! A class? ENGLISH The Regional English De- partment has an active in- terest in literature. The various classes have studied Macbeth, Romeo and Ju- liet, and Julius Caesar. These English groups cover a complete English pro- gram of literature, gram- mar, prose and poetry. 71 MATH The math department en- ters into all the courses at the palace. We can learn anything from how to make out a check to advanced math and solid geometry. This year a very interesting display was shown by Mr. Scott, demonstrating many phases of the subject. Only one! That must be some problem DRAMATICS In our new dramatics room — equipped com- pletely with stage, spotlights and settings — stu- dents learn to express themselves well in ordinary conversation as well as on stage. Through their work in class, they are able to present the finished product, an assembly play. in Helen? SOCIAL STUDIES At the palace we try to keep up to date with the happenings outside our gates and at the same time know what went on in bygone days. Many times we learn by practical experience such as visiting the county seat and the U.N., and we hold trials in our classes.

Under the able assistance of Mr. Bobilin they turn out such items as trays, bowls, tables, hopechests and many other beautiful wood handi- craft. PRINT SHOP What does our up-to-date print shop do that benefits our school? To list only a few, they print all our tickets, passes, admission slips, and programs. Boys go for that kind of type? 73 ARTS AND CRAFTS The new arts and crafts room gives us an oppor- tunity to design and construct simple, useful items by using everything from soap to beads. AGRICULTURE The future farmers at Regional learn their profession from the ground up. All phases of farming from crops to chicken raising, from dairying to forestry, from hothouse flower growing to animal husbandry are cov- ered extensively. With the new Ag shop, even farm equipment can be repaired, studied, and properly used. Agriculture has quite a future here at Regional.

This year the group met with various school debaters and shone in all contests. LIBRARY COUNCIL These girls help keep our library attractive by mount- ing pictures, making book- markers, helping with the pictures and teen-age files, and assisting in the signing in and out of books. STAGE CREW Our he-man stage crew is responsible for all our as- semblies, concerts, P.T.A. meetings, and our com- mencement. Fixing the lights, setting the stage, pulling the cur- tain, and moving the micro- phones are just some of the jobs left to these muscle men. 76 FORUM Two of Regional ' s most active clubs are the Forum Club and our Chapter of the National Forensic League, a national honor society. Here members of the Forum attend a prac- tice session of the New Jer- sey Student Congress, spon- sored by the NFL. Students in these organizations learn self expression and to speak before groups, both instru- mental in the making of good citizens. Now believe that, says Betty Jane to the N.F.L. Congress. FOREIGN STUDENTS Tila Hormazabal of Chile and Gerhard Casper of Germany, guests of the N.Y. Herald Tribune Forum Delegates, were Regional ' s guests for a few weeks. It didn ' t take us long to re- alize how fortunate we were to share their experiences, views, thoughts and friend- ship. Kenny and Arlene are our wel- coming committee when we had foreign visitors. BOYS ' GYM The new gym provides ample room and new gym equipment for the various ac- tivities of the boys ' gym classes. The athletic field still provides grounds for baseball and other outdoor sports. The boys partake in various sports under the leadership of Coaches J. Brown, W. Brown and J. Kursar. Did he block it?

We had the most difficult sched- ule in the history of the school. The team defeated both rivals that were tied for the State Championship in Group 3. Also we received a higher number of points in the state rating than either of these teams. Two of the outstanding players in the state came from the Regional Squad. Harold Bolick and Ed Ruby made the first choice in both the All-State and All-Group teams. For your enjoyment next year the Regional vs. Morristown game, which is a Morristown-home game, will be broadcast over the Morristown radio station.

Playing for the first year in the new, spacious gymnasium, the team had a perfect record, eight wins and no losses, at home. Regional, used to a big court, did very well on the road with seven wins and its only two losses of the season which occurred on small courts. Next year Regional will play with- out the services of Raye Rieff, Fred Beuhner, and George Mac- Kenzie who will graduate, but the team has many good prospects in the underclassmen ranks.

Grappling gladiators. WRESTLING The wrestling team did a fine job this year. Under the spirited guidance of Coaches Dave Pavlin and Mike Suchena, they won their first five straight matches. These coaches go through the calisthenics and practice right along with the kids and have a lot of fun, too. Our new wrestling room has been a welcome addition to our sports program made up of undergraduates who are com- ing along great, and big things can be expected from them in the next few years.

Our G.A.A. officers, three of whom are in the graduating class, are, President Lydia McGeehan, Vice President Dot Walker, Secretary Sally Meyer, and Treas- urer Ella Ford. Five girls were sent to Westfield this year to represent Regional as candidates for the All-State Hockey Team. During basketball season, playdays were held with Summit, Millburn, Chatham, and Westfield. An intramural tournament was held on Fridays with seven teams in the league. Many promising young mermaids at- tended the Westfield Y.W.C.A. each Tuesday evening to take part in our swim- ming club. Archery, softball, table tennis, bowl- ing, and badminton are a few of our spring loves. 92 First row, left to right: B. Phillmore, B. Clark, D. Guer- rin, T. Peterson, J. Anderson, D. Augenstein, D.

S. Regional took its annual cruise to the South Sea Islands and chose their queen of the isles.

Bob and Connie are step- ping it up to a hot number. The queen and her at- tendants: Nancy Schaefer, Dolores Murfurchinski, Queen Shirley Hopkins, Roberta Reynolds and Bet- ty Weherle. 98 A uniform collects a crowd, at least with Gordon in it.

JANIE 100 Trouble started in the Colburn house the day Thelma Lawrence and her son Dick came to visit. Janie falls in love with Dick and breaks the heart of Scooper Nolan, the boy next door. VanBrunt, Charles Colburn ' s partner and a bachelor meets his match with Thelma, a flir- tatious widow. To complicate matters Janie gives a little party for Dick ' s friends. It turns out to be a larqe noisy brawl. The neighbors complain and call the police, her father finds out and then he is arrested. The poor Colburns had a rough time but the audience enjoyed every minute of it. over something- yen t-app ° CAST Charles Colburn Howard Davis Elsbeth Colburn Joyce Van Natta Lucille Colburn Cecelia Brown Rodney _ Philip Jackson John VanBrunt Richard Ehrmann Janie Colburn .....

Their day starts before ours and ends much after ours. When we need anything done and they can help us with it, they always will, no matter how busy or tired they may be. Special thanks to these girls. CAFETERIA WORKERS We would like this year to give special thanks to our cafeteria workers who help make our school what it is. If it weren ' t for them there would be a lot of hungry knights come along 12 noon. They prepare the delicious food for our lunches and then clean up after- wards. Again special thanks to these wonderful women. First raw: H. Pollock, L. Sherry, F. Silva, E. Puntigam, P. Morri- aen, W. Matrone. Second row: A. Detrick, F. Bortin, A. Cyre, M. Belliveau, N.

THE BAND The court band is one of the hardest working groups in the palace. They play for football games, assemblies, concerts, senior play, graduation and if that isn ' t enough they go to the grammar schools and give them a preview of high school. All this takes hours of practice which the talented members do without a word of complaint. In the fall you can see them marching up and down the front lawn after school, getting ready for the shows they put on during football games. There is seldom a time you pass the new band room that you don ' t hear someone playing. What would we ever do without our band? I am sure that our palace would not be nearly so wonderful if we didn ' t have these musicians. A special tribute to our band. It takes a lot of wind to make such sweet music. 103 VIRGINIA LEE KELSAY March 26, 1952 IN MEMORIAM If you knew Ginny, you wouldn ' t forget her, she was that kind of person. She was many-sided — serious at one moment; gay and light-hearted an- other. She had many loves — her music (and she was usually surrounded by favorite records), horses and riding, all sports, especially swimming and skiing, and Regional itself. Ginny will long be remembered for her wit, her sweetness, her seeking for perfection as was out- wardly seen in her trim neat appearance. We are enriched by knowing her and having had her share a part of our lives 104 CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY BAKERY DANCE STUDIO BERKELEY BAKERY FRED ASTAIRE DANCE STUDIOS Berkeley Heights 53 Broad Street, Elizabeth SUmmit 6-3052 Elizabeth 5-1744 BARBER SHOP DELICATESSENS FOOD MARKETS MOUNTAINSIDE BARBER SHOP BLIWISE FOOD CENTER 889 Mountain Avenue Mountainside Mountainside WEstfield 2-1 133, 2-6046 BATTERY ELECTRIC CENTER DELICATESSEN 491 Boulevard, Kenilworth SPRINGFIELD BATTERY CRanford 6-5630 ELECTRIC STORE DELIA ' S HOME SUPPLIES 245 Morris Avenue, Springfield Plainfield Avenue, Berkeley Heights Millburn 6-1053 SUmmit 6-4369 O ' CONNOR ' S MARKET CLOTHING STORES 495 Plainfield Avenue BRETTLER ' S DEPARTMENT STORE Berkeley Heights 242 Morris Avenue, Springfield SPRINGFIELD SHOP-RITE Millburn 6-4108 272 Morris Avenue, Springfield COMMONWEALTH Millburn 6-0431 DEPARTMENT STORE OUEEN ' S SUPER MARKET 486 Boulevard, Kenilworth 265 Morris Avenue, Springfield CRanford 6-9572 Millburn 6-9648 THE FAMILY CLOSET 240 Morris Avenue Springfield DRUGGISTS FLORENCE LEE SHOP 263 Morris Avenue BORO DRUGS 490 Boulevard, Kenilworth Springfield CRanford 6-6770 RUSSEL ' S MEN ' S SHOP RAPPORT ' S DRUG STORE 261 Morris Avenue, Springfield 273 Morris Avenue Millburn 6-4454 Springfield y 105 r I i !T VfiX CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY FLORISTS MENDE FLORIST Mountain Avenue, Springfield Millburn 6-1 1 18 HARDWARE CENTER HARDWARE 240 Morri s Avenue, Springfield Millburn 6-0459 JEWELERS KENILWORTH JEWELERS 484 Boulevard, Kenilworth PRINTERS BEACON HILL PRINTERS STATIONERS 226 Morris Avenue Springfield MERVIN PRINTING MIMEOGRAPHING SERVICE 14 Flemer Avenue Springfield SERVICE STATIONS ANDERSONS ESSO SERVICE South Springfield and Hillside Avenues Springfield, Millburn 6-0993 HILLTOP SERVICE STATION Plainfield Avenue Berkeley Heights i Kantord C-05U GENERAL MOTOR SERVICE 1220-24 Route No. 22, Mountainside LUGGAGE WEstfield 2-4920 MOUNTAINSIDE LUGGAGE SHOP SHOE REPAIR 891 Mountain Avenue MISCELLANEOUS Mountainside 3 BAR S MILK CREAM RANCH Plainfield Avenue Berkeley Heights PAINT WALLPAPER SADIE THOMPSON VARIETY STORE 515 Springfield Avenue KARLIN PAINTS WALLPAPER Berkeley Heights 254 Morris Avenue, Springfield MR. and MRS.
