Henry Brooks Adams ADMINISTRATION Mr. Robert F. LaVanture, Principal As you approach the end of your senior year your thoughts are probably vacillating from an eagerness to explore the future to a reluctance to leave what has become so familiar. We feel justly proud of what you have done here and what you have left behind for others to develop and model themselves after. These years have been en- joyable ones for you but they have also been a basis and preparation for what is to come. For these future tasks we are confident you are ready. Our best wishes go with all of you. Robert F. LaVanture Principal BOARD OF EDUCATION Miss Anne Romano, Assistant Principal Mr. Powers Mr. Battaglia Mr. Conlin 6 Mr. Lockwood Mr. Melick Mrs. Waldt Mr. Johnstone Mr. Elsasser Dr. Jones ,, _ P Mr. Nolan There are a few events in a life-time which are truly milestones, one of the most important of which is high school graduation. It marks an end and a beginning. At present you are eager to get on with the business of living. This is as it should be. Your plans are before you, whether they be for college or for some career which does not immediately involve further schooling. Regardless of this future which now is of such immediate concern you will find more and more as the years go on that your attendance in and graduation from Jonathan Dayton Regional High School have prepared you well. You have been a part of this great institution. Wherever you go and whatever you do you will still be a part of it. May you succeed in your own way. n L 0t-AsU, CW % ft. . Warren M.

Jacobsen, Assistant Superintendent Mr. Lewis Fredericks Miss Helen Crawford Miss Charlotte Singer, Guidance Director Mr. Melvin Lefever Miss Marie Giannone GUIDANCE The important job of aiding individual students in making intelli- gent choices and decisions is accomplished by our guidance department. The counselor is not only trained to assist the student in this decision- making process, but also provides the student with test scores measuring aptitude and interest, which make easier the decisions relating to educa- tional and vocational problems. Throughout his four years in high school and even after graduation, the student knows that he can turn to the guidance department for valuable advice and assistance. LIBRARY A library is impera- tive to an adequate high school education. The student must have a place where he can clarify and add to the information obtained in class. Our library offers us the fa- cilities to study in peace, to secure additional data for reports and papers, and to satisfy our curi- osity. Miss Barbara Dimmers, Librarian p  w iL H It mM J 1 ■ 9 M St- |A B w, ■ BUSINESS Mr. Conrad Franchino Miss Eleanore Murphy, Coordinator Miss Karen Moran Today ' s business world de- mands energetic, efficient and enterprising young people. The basic objective of the Business Department is to train and pre- pare students for the career in which they plan to specialize after graduation. Courses rang- ing from clerical training to those dealing with the aspects of law provide a more than adequate background for the business peo- ple of tomorrow. Future secre- taries are offered the opportunity to test and develop their typing and bookkeeping skills as well as other techniques which are essential to the development of an efficient secretary.

By reading our own language we are able to examine the ideas and thoughts of men who have laid the foundations on which our civilization is built. Our English Department strives to teach each student to appreciate the creativity of the great literary minds and the beauty of the written word. In this way, by following examples presented to us, we learn to express our own ideas more clearly and effectively, orally as well as in writing. Our teachers have tried to show us that by reading, each student attains values which will help him in forming his own philosophy on life.

The training given by the Industrial Arts Department enables the student to develop his creative ability in such fields as mechanical draw- ing, wood and metal work, graphic arts, and printing, while it prepares him to fill invaluable job positions in a useful field. Under the guidance of the Art Department the student learns to appreciate the everyday beauty around him. The basic fundamentals of design and the various art media are introduced, while students examine both traditional and modern forms of art. In an atmosphere which stresses freedom of expression, creativity, and understanding, each student is encouraged to develop his own aesthetic tastes and style. Mr. David Brodman, Art Mr. Peter Danilo, Agriculture 13 Mr. Herbert Palmer, Athletic Director, Attendance Office Mrs. Dolores Howard, Health HEALTH AND Mr. James Horner, Physical Education Mr. John Brown, Coordinator Mrs. Lois Conley, Physical Education Mr. Robert Hooper, Physical Education PHYSICAL EDUCATION Soundness of mind and body: a goal for men and women since the Golden Greeks. Achievement is possible only through hard work, determina- tion and valuable instruction. The Physical Education Department seeks to furnish each student with the opportunity to grow physically, mentally, morally, and socially through its many activities. A wide diversity of sports, allows each individual to excel in his favorite, and also to gain beneficial experience. In our Health Department we are taught important material, such as First Aid, Driver Education, and the care of our own bodies: subjects that will be necessary and essential throughout our lives.

The foreign language department at Dayton is designed in such a way as to systematically lead to the perfection of the ability to read, speak, write, and think in a foreign tongue. Through the command of the language, the student is introduced to the literary style and culture of the country. Mastery of the language is attained by modern methods including work in the language laboratory. In addition, the school sponsors a summer program of study abroad, in which the student actually experiences living and conversing with the native inhabitants. Knowledge of foreign language offers people the oppor- tunity to attain a broadened view of other people, and opens the path toward better international communication.

Through a variety of elective courses students find great satisfaction in developing those attitudes and skills which will be of major concern all of their lives. The subject is for NOW and for THEN! The individual and her development are of prime concern and in each class the student works at projects which suit her capabilities and interests and which will benefit her socially, emotionally, and physically. Boys are encouraged to participate in foods preparation and are invited to other classes to offer their opinions and attitudes.

Mathematics may also be helpful in choosing a future career, for in our scientific age, a good mathematical background is a valuable asset. Students at JDRHS are provided with courses from Algebra to Calculus which will prepare them for more advanced studies in college. Orderly and constructive think- ing, which must be utilized in all aspects of Mathematics, will help each student to be able to cope with problems that he may later encounter.

It is a unifying factor throughout the world — different from all other forms of expression. Through the Music Department, every student has the oppor- tunity to further understand and enjoy music ranging from the ageless classical to the folk-rock of today. Vocally, instrumentally and theoreti- cally, music is presented double forte — making the most of every note.

National committees have developed new ways of presenting science to high school students. Better text books have been written, films made and new equipment developed. The modern science courses are characterized by emphasis on laboratory work as the basis for learning; understanding concepts rather than memorization is the goal. Many experiments which the students do are quantitative and lead to the development of a principle. Through the science department, students attain a more sound preparation for college, better understand their environment and have their natural interests in the sciences satisfied. 20 m Mr. Raymond Yanchus Mr. Paul Karish - A fits J Mr. August Giebelhaus 11 C Mrs. Jean Cusumano SOCIAL STUDIES Reflections of past events are a major ele- ment in the understanding of the era in which we live. The Social Studies Depart- ment, by combining factual matter of the past, current data, and possibilities of future political, economical, and social events, at- tempts to help the student of today and the leader of tomorrow discover relationships in man ' s behavior in hopes that he might avoid past failures and emulate past successes. Learn- ing about the glories of bygone civilizations along with the various cultures of today, enables each of us to have a greater under- standing of ourselves, our fellow man, and the society in which we live. Mr. Dennis Fox Miss Pauline Keith, Coordinator Mr. Edward Jasinski Mra. Clare Mason Mr. David Carl e .-• Mr. Thomas McCabe Mr. Martin Taglienti SPECIAL SERVICES Two key factors necessary in providing a good foundation of learning are good reading skills and a strong scholastic environment. If a student has been unable to develop these traits on his own he must be given instructions on how to acquire them. This is the job of the Special Services Department which provides invaluable aid in encouraging the desire essential to the learning process. A successful high school student has found it necessary to adjust both socially and scholastically to the world around him. Ready to help him at any time, no matter how small the problem, is the Special Services Staff comprised of doctor, nurse, dentist, and psychologist. These people are working together to prepare all students for their present and future experiences.

So few students are aware of who main- tains organization in the school, who plans and prepares our meals, or who keeps our school safe and sanitary. Without the proficient work of our Girl Fridays , Dayton might be in quite a turmoil. On the other- hand, Miss Maitland and her staff take particular interest in the preparation of nourishing food for us and provide a generally pleasant atmosphere. Thanks to our friendly custodians our school is always kept in the best condition. Without the services these people perform the process of learning would be greatly hampered. Miss Margaret Maitland, Cafeteria Director Cafeteria Staff Custodial Staff 23 . ' .; , ' ■■ ■ $ -■.,:.. m - 1 a r r  e Beginning: September 8, 1964. Excited L 5 5 and frightened at the same time, we entered Day- _ . = ton to find ourselves no longer superior eighth- H IS I C3R l graders, but only frosh. That first day of orientation was mass confusion ( Is this an up stairway — no, I guess not! ) but everything soon settled down. Wow, there were so many elections to hold; for our fearless leaders that year, we chose Eric, Sandy, Alice and Dave. Freshmen, it seemed, were subject to so many indignities ( Hey girl, out of that mirror room! ) including, of course, the terrifying Mantoux test. ( Did she really faint? ) Together we suffered with Jean Valjean, the rules of gerunds and The quality of mercy is not strained. Spirit was generated by a winning football team, pep rallies, and our successful St. Patrick ' s Day Cake Sale. Dave Stein, Stan Katz, and Bob Lynch took the top prizes in Math Day. Then, just when we were used to being freshmen, exams were upon us. ( You ' re kidding, TWO HOURS of STUDY? ) And on a sunny Wednesday afternoon . . . Hey, I ' m a sophomore! At last, no longer the youngest in the school (and weren ' t the new freshmen tiny?) Eric, Pete, Jane and Carol took their places at the head of the class, as we entered the new realms of U. S. History, geometry, and Julius Caesar. Computer programming was the slogan of the guidance department, and often the despairing cry of the student. (Remember that terrible French class? And your friend who had 3 studies and no gym?) For funds, we opened the Cafeteria Bookstore; that year we also graduated to J.V. Sports. The winter passed quickly — soon it was spring, and we were in Health, learning to wrap broken legs and treat for shock. Neil captured the top prize in Math Day, Linda appeared on the radio with a humorous interpretation, and the Dayton Debaters — Scott, Stan, Eric and Myron — won Forensics awards almost daily. Class of ' 68 ' s Sophomore year was drawing to a close . . . Then it was ' 66, and we were Upperclassmen, with all those glories like . . . like standing up for Seniors? (Just wait ' till next year!) For class president we selected Jon, and re-elected Pete, Jane and Carol. The PSAT ' s in October gave us our first indication of what lay ahead, and the Merits . . . ( Looks like I pay my way through college after all! ) In HSMl I .fd)f •tSXfsb- Drivers ' Ed, we learned the mechanics of driving — including full color films of what happens to those who don ' t learn! Always school-spirited, we carried off a two-day cafeteria, boycott, winning a jukebox. In American Lit, we groaned together with Hester, Pearl, and Reverend Dimmesdale, while the brave souls taking chemistry struggled with moles. Our first AFS student, Vania, was a welcome addition to the school. Computers, we found, were alright for scheduling — but for dances?? Well, at least we ' d have a Junior Prom . . . or would you believe a Junior Dance? Au Printemps, however, proved that our deprecating opinions were wrong. Elise, John, Stan and Janice starred in Anything Goes that year, proving that we were fated to success. ( You bet your sweet ascot! ) All too soon came spring, with its dreaded College Boards. This time when exams came, however, we sighed with relief, and looked forward eagerly to next September . . . And, into the Senior Spotlight moved ' 68 All-Sauce. Led by Jon, John, Jane and Carol, we successfully carried off the sale of magazines, mums, and those orange-and-blue beanies. As football season progressed, our spirits rose, culminating in the Romp Over Roselle victory and the Thanksgiving Day tie. ( What was that about the field house? ) Elise and Toni captivated audiences in our production of The Miracle Worker. Barbara was honored as Valedictorian, while 18 Seniors were Merit Semifinalists or recipients of Letters of Commendation. Simultaneously we studied Macbeth, filled out endless college applications, and regarded the nuances of bearded English teachers. Keiko, our AFS student, was a pleasure to greet with her cheery smile. As we entered winter, and those days when we listened anxiously to the radio for their school closings we felt within us the beginnings of that inevitable disease, Senioritis. Our futures seemed to become hazy with doubts — yet all the good times we had ahead of us! Our trip to Mount Airy Lodge, the long-awaited Senior Ball . . . everything seemed to be there for us. And we looked forward too, to that ultimate day . . .

Proverbs STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of the Student Council is to function as an in- termediary between the school administration and the student body. The Council enacts legis- lation deemed beneficial to the student body, seeks to develop school spirit and co-operation, and voices student opinion. Representatives are elected by their respective classes and officers are chosen in an election open to the entire student body. The Council this year was headed by the following officers: Pres., Stanley Katz, Vice-Pres., David Margulies, Sec, Ilene Schulman, Treas., Ian Starr. This year the Council success- fully sponsored two dances, a Mr. Ugly Contest, a movie, and a cakesale, and is currently work- ing on a senior final exam pro- posal. Through the Council Newsletter, the student body is kept informed of council affairs. Meeting every two weeks, the council discusses current student problems, ways to raise money, and methods of better communi- cations with the administration. 80 3 N ' OS J 3 I f r — -- | ., I K WH ' : ] 1 fl w v f  ■■; - — V n 11 i 1 P mi XII ■ ■ - — - m - VMM   r j i ■ • — Hf Firsf Rolu: A.

Mollen NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Scholarship, leadership, char- acter and service: these are the qualities by which one is selected for the National Honor Society. The high standards for member- ship make entrance into N.H.S. the highest honor which the school may bestow upon a stu- dent. Inductions are held twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. This year, under the super- vision of Miss Ulbrich, N.H.S. has increased its services; not only by tutoring, but also by adopt- ing a foster child, a Guadalupe Indian. A continual standard of high excellence serves to maintain the National Honor Society as one of Dayton ' s most outstand- ing organizations. 82 FRENCH NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY For the student who has achieved a certain degree of proficiency in French, the reward is entrance into the French National Honor So- ciety. The group plans its activities to supplement the normal programs of the French Club, aiming to ex- tend the student ' s knowledge of the French culture. Mrs. Hart is the advisor. Front: J. Hardgrovc.

Their pride and spirit are exemplified by their successful fund-raising projects. Junior activities have included a book drive, sale of pennants and this year ' s successful cake sale. Class rings finally arrived late in December and with them came a true feeling of responsibility and upperclassmanship. Eagerly awaiting the Bali Ha ' i , the juniors and their advisors are also looking forward to a senior year as fruitful and rewarding, as their past three years.

CLASS OF 1971 Evidence of the spirit and determination of the new frosh class was exhibited Orientation Week. Through this tradition as well as the immediate initiation of class policy, the student body was aware that the Class of ' 71 was a worthy addition to the school. The officers, President — Ellen Krueger, Vice President — Larry Friedman, Secretary — Robin Getter, and Treasurer — Iris Weisman, were elected in early fall, and with the combined efforts of Miss Warford, Mr. Gardella and the Freshman Council, the class activities proved to be profitable. These included the cake sale and the dance, entitled Up, Up and Away. With the momentum set this year, the future of the Fresh- man Class appears promising. Cynthia James, Treas., Miss Moran.

CLASS OF 1970 The Sophomore Class Officers planned for a very successful 1967-68 year. They had the same basic ideas as and class does, but by adding a touch of creativity their ideas became more interesting. A Christmas Cake Sale afforded them the opportunity to have a variety of colorfully decorated cakes and cookies. In March A Little Bit O ' Soul brought many excited students to see and hear the Exsaveyons, the New Sounds, the Symphonettes, and the Latins. Bulldog decals for cars w ere also sold in the spring, and a spring car wash was held. The Sophomore Class has worked hard on their ideas. In accounting for their success they owe a lot to their two advisors, Miss Moran and Mr. Piccolo, for their constant help and guidance. Mrs. Kaneps Advisor Jon Brenn Pres. Carol Cornfield Treas. Jane Lasky Sec. John Vasselli Vice-Pres. Mr. Baker Advisor CLASS OF 1968 A senior class does not spring forth simultaneously. Rather, it is the final product of four years of working and striving for success; four years which began when we entered Dayton as freshmen, and which will end when we graduate as responsible members of society. The success of the Class of 1968 represents the culmination of the continuous hard work and efforts of so many people. These people, with the aid and support of the entire class, completed the fund-raising projects of the class: a magazine drive, cake sale, Senior Sports Dance, Senior Play and a rained-out car wash; all of which have contributed to the climatic and long-awaited Senior Trip, Senior Ball and Class Gift. For your great assistance the officers would like to thank all of you. We would also like to extend our deepest, most sincere thanks to our wonderful advisors, Mrs. Kaneps and Mr. Baker. 85 m First Row: S. Weisman, B. Dewey, S. Jacobs, J. Hardgrove, S. Kriegman.

Students from over 60 countries spend a year living and studying in the United States, while American students also live and study abroad. In Springfield, both the adult chapter and the student chapter are active. Various activities are held throughout the year including an AFS assembly, an international supper, and AFS week in July, during which about 40 students stay in Springfield on the last phase of their stay in the United States. Last year Vania Cavalcanti of Brazil was Dayton ' s first AFS student; this year we are fortunate to have as a member of the senior class Keiko Tamagawa of Japan. Through the AFS program, a greater understanding of the peoples of the world can be reached, as is expressed in the organization ' s motto: Walk together, talk together, O ye peoples of the earth, Then and only then Shall ye have peace. 87 First Row: Diane Slater, Ava Goldman, Susan Kreigman, Sandy Jacobs, Janice Hardgrove.

The Attendance, Guidance, and Health offices are all necessary to every member of our faculty and student body. The girls who work in these offices during their studies help to lessen much of the tedious work to be done by assisting in many small but important jobs. In the Attendance Office the students help Mr. Palmer by organizing and supervising student at- tendance. The girls in the Guidance Office aid the guidance counselors by per- forming clerical and secretarial work. The Health Office assistants, under the guidance of our nurse, Mrs. Jarman, help take care of the many students who come to the Health Office each day besides doing varied clerical jobs.

As well as providing a valuable service to the school, the Library Council promotes interest in the various areas in the field of library science. Working under the supervision of Miss Dimmers, the seven members spend two periods per week helping with library work. STAGE CREW Lights — camera — action! Everyone appreciates what hap- pens on stage, but how about what happens behind the scenes? The Stage Crew is a necessary part of every dramatic produc- tion at Dayton. Frantically switching the lights, drawing the curtains, and moving scenery, they perform their job under the direction of Mr. Trinity. Try- ing to work as quietly but as quickly as possible is a difficult task, but they always manage . . . Whoops! Oh no, I forgot to close the curtains! R. Grocki, S. Weisman, R. Jackson. FIREMEN The Firemen are made up of Junior and Senior boys who assist in clear- ing the building and checking for fire hazards during fire drills. If ever a real fire should threaten our school the firemen will come to the rescue, complete with helmets, axes, and hooks and ladders. Their practice at climbing ladders, rigging hoses, and holding nets will certainly cause the student body to take a new look at these able young men. Front Row: B. Chisholm, J. Schoch, T. Gromek, B.

Re- gional is a club consisting of girls of every grade level who are interested in pursuing their extracurricular sports ac- tivities. These girls are not only trying to increase their physical abilities but to enjoy activities with their fellow class- mates and learn the true meaning of the word sportsmanship. G.A.A. is run by the Leader ' s Club and the gym teachers. It consists of various seasonal sports in which any girl may partake. Many girls join G.A.A. solely for the fun of playing with friends, while others are interested in building their points for awards. Either reason is worth all the time and energy that each girl must give in order to make the G.A.A. year a successful one. L $ LEADERS CLUB First Row: D. Frank R. Bamberger M. Bachrach D.

LEADERS CLUB Service is a primary objective, but social events are also on the planned schedule. Playdays, Mother-Daugh- ter Teas, a Faculty Game, and a picnic at the end of the school year are annual programs. A member of Leader ' s Club is chosen on the basis of skill, alertness, genuine interest, and willingness to devote much of her time to this worthwhile organization. A credit to any girl in RHS is to be chosen a member of Leader ' s Club. Under the direction of Mrs. Conley, the girl ' s main duties are to ref the after-school games, provide re- freshments for intramural sports, and to organize and supervise all GAA activities.

KEY CLUB Scholarship and per- sonal achievement are t he criteria that must be met by Key Club members. The Key Club- is affili- ated with the- Kiwanis Club and, therefore, it is a service organization. Projects, such as a cam- paign to obtain food for the needy and school maintenance, are de- signed to be of service to our school and commun- ity. The Key Club has devoted its efforts to those activities which are beneficial to our student body, faculty and town. VARSITY CLUB First Row: G. Mayer R. Ienna R. Haines S. Jupa D. Yodlosky M.

To qualify, one must obtain a varsity letter before the end of his Junior year. This sounds easy enough, but with the top-rate competition we face in football, soccer, cross-country, basketball, wrestling, baseball, track, tennis, golf, and bowling, it becomes a test of strength, agility and skill to acquire a varsity letter. Only top athletes can earn such a letter; these athletes have banded together under the leadership of Mr. Palmer to form the Varsity Club. 106 Standing: S. Gold G. Maloratsky S. Wolff S. Blackman G. Ziggenfuss T. Chin We ' re from Regional, we couldn ' t be any prouder, And if you don ' t believe us, well yell a little louder! If noise is any indication of school spirit, then the Jonathan Dayton Regional cheerleaders are undoubtedly the most spirited squad in the country. Their never-ending pep sparks enthusiasm from the spectators and victories from our teams. Advised this year by Miss Karen Moran, the squad can be seen (and heard!) at football and basketball games, wrestling matches, and often soccer matches . . . (even cross-country meets) . The girls combine loyalty to their school, determination, skill, and enthusiasm to make a very energetic cheer- leading squad. 107 Front Row: M. Olscn, M. Klimko. Back Row: L. Feldman. Captain, N.

BAND, COLOR GUARD, AND TWIRLERS Football season starts out with a bang with the annual kick-off dance at which Dayton ' s cheerleaders and twirlers ignite crowd enthus- iasm and support. Throughout the entire marching season which follows, the Dayton Minutemen Band, including the twirlers and Color Guard, pre- sents a refreshing musical spectacular at each football game. A pre-game show is provided to extend a zesty welcome to all spectators. At half-time, under the student direction of John Vaselli, the band swings into formation as they play several familiar tunes. The twirlers, led by Linda Walker, Head Majorette, perform an original routine for each new song. At the same time, the Color Guard, struts proudly down the field, bearing the flags of the United States and of Jonathan Dayton. Led by their captain, Laurie Feldman, the squad exhibits great skill as it handles the military-styl ed white rifles. The big Thanksgiving Day game does not mark the end of the activity of the group. They still look forward to performing at two concerts, .and marching in the Memorial Day Parade. Under the guidance of Mr. Anthony Armento, the band, twirlers, and color guard work hard to make the entire year a success. At the end of the year, the entire group as- sembles for the last time for a trip to Atlantic City, where they enjoy the entire day as a reward for all their time and effort during the year.

ORCHESTRA The Union County Regional High School Orchestra was begun three years ago by instituting a string instruction program, and combining the string players with selected band members from each school in the district. This year, the program has expanded, and the Dayton band members and string players are supplemented only by a few string players from the other schools. Under the direction of Mr. Walter Both, the orchestra has given concerts at each school, as well as toured the district elementary schools. Selections performed this year have had a wide range, going from show tunes to string quartets to classical pieces such as Handel ' s Messiah. Future enlargement of the orchestral program is anitcipated by everyone concerned. 112 I I 113 ATHLETICS Sport for its own sake . . . Bite the lip and strain the strength And try . . .

Although the season started somewhat disappointingly, the Bulldogs were unbeatable as the season ended. Thanks- giving Day saw the Bulldogs battle a much more power- ful Rahway team; yet, the experience and determination obtained during the season enabled our football team to fight to a standoff. There were many individual stars for the Bulldogs. Nathan Edelstein, Kevin Keller, Ralph Losanno, Larry Stewart, and Jimmy Robinson were all given honorable mention in the Ail-Union County Selec- tions. The latter three, being underclassmen, will lead the Bulldogs through the upcoming season. The future looms bright for Dayton Football. Front Row: K. Keller, S. Minicozzi. R. Wilson. N.

The past season was a rebuilding year with only Derrol Brooks, Don Cubberly, Howard Spielman, and Bob Staehle graduating in ' 68. Sev- eral players received special recogni- tion by area newspapers for their outstanding playing ability. Derrol Brooks and Joel Millman were Third Team All- County selections, while Tyrone Chin and Bob Staehle were Honorable Mention Ail-Union County choices. Kneeling: J. Frieri R. Lyons T. Campbell R.

BASKETBALL With a strong Senior contingent and a powerful bench of underclassmen, our basketball team represented a real threat in the Watchung Conference and the two post season tournaments. Among the best players in the County were four of our Senior lettermen: Gary Kurtz, Richard Campbell, Cliff York, and Tony Gromek. Fin- ishing with a 9-10 record, the Bulldogs were kept from a winning season by an overtime loss in the final game to a top-notch Cranford Team. Both the Junior Varsity and the Freshmen finished their seasons with successful records. There can be no doubt that Dayton Basketball will be a power to be reckoned with for many years to come.

Wrestlers can learn only from actual competition; moves, swiftness, agility and coordination must be gained over years of interscholastic matches. Our wrestling team lacked this varsity competition. With a new coach to instruct them, our wrestlers were almost entirely underclassmen, or first-year Seniors. Their efforts were valiant; their record was 0-12. Individuals starred, but there were never enough individual stars on any one given night. The Team has gained experience; the wrestlers have learned their skills. This year we rebuilt; next year we ' ll be ready to tear apart. The Watchung Conference is among the most fierce wrestling conference in the State. Next year and in years to come, Dayton will dominate in the Watchung Conference. 129 $jg £r - ' $ CROSS-COUNTRY In existence for only a few years, the cross-country team could under- standably be only mediocre, but Dayton doesn ' t settle for such a lethargic athletic program. With hard work and sheer determination, our cross-country runners have built the Dayton cross-country team into a true powerhouse. Our team ran and ran until it sewed up a fourth place finish in the state meet and a third place finish in the Watchung Conference competition. Paced by seniors Ken Shatten and Allen Todres and freshman phenomenon Norman Reinhardt, the cross-country team exhibited a willingness to sacrifice in order to achieve. First Row: M. Josephs A.

Finishing third in the county tournament and fourth in the state tournament, our bowling team has earned many accalades. Tom Poznanski, Mickey Weatherston, and Lou Stein have all bowled well over 200 and their averages are tops in the country. Dayton bowlers are sure to leave their marks throughout the country. 131 • ' XK ' ' TRACK This year ' s track team displays a quality of spirit and enthusiasm which will un- doubtedly mark success during the 1968 season. Through the efforts of Coach Taglienti the sport is winning increased recognition around the school and the turn- out should build up in the coming years. Being no longer in the Watchung Confer- ence, the Dayton team will meet their own size and caliber of schools. y il ■mm -tsnanm W - First Row: W. Younge, J. Ranney, R. Ienna. B. Smith. K. Shatten, L.
