The old adage, in order to succeed one must start at the bottom, probably accounted for our apprenticeship as Freshmen. Undoubtedly we were fitted for a higher class, but the old adage still held good and we entered this edifice of learning in February 1930 as Freshmen. Lives of Freshmen have invariably been hazardous since they have always been the butt of many pranks. Unwary Freshmen have been sold chapel tickets and urged to buy elevator passes, Imagine their dismay when they looked for the elevator! Buttour superior instinct told us to laugh at this high-pressure salesmanship. It was in our last term as Freshmen that we had our first taste of social life in high school. We attended our Freshmen party with many hopes of another in the near future. Our second year was one in which we showed our superior intelligence to advantage. This year, however, was not one of work entirely. In our first term as sophomores we inaugurated the novel idea of holding a dinner dance. The cafeteria was gaily decorated for the occasion and several dis- tinguished guests were present. After dinner we danced in the boys' gym. As l0A's we ventured on a trip to the great metropolis of New York where we attended an evening performance of the play, The Cat and the Fiddle. Having distinguished ourselves as sophomores, we entered upon our Junior year, the busiest one since our entrance into Kearny High School. In this year, we suffered a great loss when our President, Andrew Wingate, left to attend Andover. We cooperated with the June Class of 1933 in the production of the play, The Haunted House, which was a huge success. It was at this time that the school was treated to a most outstanding event at the hands our our capable class. If you went to the Junior Prom that year, you will recall that the decorations were more original and picturesque than at any time in the past. We also sponsored two other dances which were enjoyed by all who attended. Another year rolled along and with it we took our places at the head of the school as Seniors. We had attained the coveted plane which has always been the envy of every under-graduate. We resolved to make this, our last year, our best year and by so doing make for ourselves, everlasting memories in the annals of Our Alma Mater. W'e have had occasion to believe that we attained our goal for, as Seniors, we were the promoters of the play, The Laughing Guest. A During our stay in Kearny High School we have made a good re- putation for our class, and we have desired to leave a project that will be indelibly stamped upon the minds of our teachers and those students left behind. We truly believe that we have fulfilled this desire by the production of our year-book, The Lamp Post. S Page Forty-one THE LAMP POST We have in our midst many people of note. You have seen them move step by step towards their goal, never faltering, always going forward. Bondon, C. Campbell, T. Campbell, Canavan, Forrester, Heding and Pattwell have made names for themselves in football: Whereas, Dowie, Gray, Lone, and Srodzinski have won honors in soccer. Inscribed on the pages of baseball are the names of Canavan and Gray. Legs Leggett and Stanish excelled in basketball while Collins, Heding, Pattwell, and Wilkinson showed their speed on the track. Lastly, who will forget that cheerleader of fiery fame, Saletan? Although athletics have played a pr-ominent part in our class activi- ties, the Scholarship record has been upheld by May Berggren, Mildred Dunlap, Mary Farina, Stanton Leggett, Elizabeth Lewis, Gertrude Manthey, Gwendolyn Masom, and Ada Thelin. You will agree that we have been a very versatile class and are Htted to withstand the hard knocks of life. A presidential term lasts four years, the World Vv'ar lasted four years, and so did our stay in Kearny High School. We now look back upon those years which reveal themselves in a vast panorama of joys and sorrows, rejoicings and misgivings. In retrospect, they have already become four of the happiest years of our lives. We are now prepared to take our departure from the familiar halls of Kearny High School and seek our places in life. Let us toast the past-- and the future. -G. G. Smith Class Song The time draws near when we must part From thee, dear Kearny High. So we must fondly say farewell, But not without a sigh, We all have well enjoyed our stay, Too soon our day must end. But through the years, our thoughts and cheers, To thee we'll ever send. A fond adieu, we say to you Forever Kearny, we'll be true. The red and black our guide shall be Where ere we roam on land or sea. As years roll by and you pass ever On to new regimes The memories of those years with you Will fill our sweetest dreams. ' While through a life that's new we strive To lind success and joy, Your love in mind, the years will find Each a loyal girl and boy. -Anne M.

In case of a sudden change, we give him this dictionary so he'll be prepared.

Page F arty-nine THE LAMP POST PROPHECY INCE the January class of 1934 emerged from Kearny High School, much has happened as they sought their places in history. Under the significant sign of Aquarius, the Water Beaver, l have clearly seen the future stretching out before them. :sf :of 4: :sf vs: wa: :sf :sf After some years Kearny possesses a daily newspaper. From the front page we learn that Martin Pattwell, Charles Campbell, and Allan Forrester continue playing football for a southern college where David Atamanchuk is a surprising quarterback. Their folks gave up supporting them after live years. s-o they now earn a living by minding children of the towns-people in their spare time. The front page also says that Lew Bondon left college because it was against the by-laws of the Bachelor's Club to undertake labor of this type. The inside of the paper reveals that Max Goldfinger is the editor who writes socialistic propaganda. Farther on we read that Helen Armitage has just been appointed physical educationinstructor in the Kearny School System. In an exclusive interview granted to our demon reporter, George Kusmich, Helen attributes her success with the children to the fact that she tells them to eat Dorothy Weber's Special Vitamin Cereal in order to get BIG muscles like teacher's. Dorothy Dobbing is the social editor, and Elin Palmer draws sketches from life. Her first one of Al Heding brings to us the news that Al is the social lion of the hour, having just returned 'with Norman Collins from bag- ging big game in Africa. John Wylie, who went along to talk the lions out of lighting back, is giving radio broadcasts of the expedition. Leafing through the news we reach the Advice to the Lovelorn column which tells us to bring our problems to Miss Elizabeth Lewis, expert in affairs of the heart. The first letter reads: Dear Aunt Betty: Ever since Lieut Arthur Elliot returned to town in his naval uniform with gold buttons, my girl refuses to look at me, saying I am much too ordinary. What can I do? Your heart-broken correspondent., Alphonse Paknis. Aunt Betty replies: Dear Alphonse: Haven't you heard? Alice Cunningham and Zona McEwan have just designed a stunning new uniform with a genuine horse-hair brush for the street cleaning department. This is guaranteed to sweep your girl off her feet. i The Mason Little Theatre is playing in town. Their repertoire boasts of interpretations of Walt Disney's hits with parodies by David Darling. In the feature, Adventures of Mickey Mouse, Stanton Leggett is a great success in the title role while Daisy Thomson is a sure-fire box-ofiice appeal in her acting of Minnie Mouse in kilts. As our favorite dramatic critic, Thomas Campbell remarks, She certainly is cute! Subordinate parts are competently portrayed by Walter Nelson and Jack Knox, as the long-haired lions who play violins. Page Fifty JANUARY 193 4 and Anne Kelly as the canary.. Stage directions are given by Margaret Kaminsky. Eugenia MacGuire makes the offstage noises with the noble assistance of Dot Park. Samuel Warwick continues his sensational run in The Three Little Pigs accom- panied by Harry Gough and Martin Srodzinski. Sammie scores a personal tri- umph when he plays the life and dances to the tune of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? John Jacobson and Harry Canavan, the theatrical producers, save expenses by having the wolf at the door play the role of the villain in this touching play, although both Felix Rogoza and George Johnson continually beg to do this dramatic part. On leaving the theatre, we see a huge sign in the last stages of being painted. From the scaffold and beneath several layers of paint, the cheerful faces of Clifford Cox, Archie Cowan, and Robert Hutchison peer out. They are very enthusiastic about their work: their only trouble being, they are slightly color blind. We recognize the picture on the ad as that of Stephen Hodges, now posing for the Better Billboard Blurbs Company. From his mouth issue the print- ed words, I owe my social success to Miss Jeanne Lloyd. Now I am a man about! town. You, too, can take this way to happiness. Similar and equally stirring testi- monials are signed by the well-remembered names of John Lone, Duncan Gray and Walter Dowie. They no longer devote their time to Soccer but have trans- ferred their enthusiasm to the finer things of life. Robert Headley is now seen standing quite spell-bound before the sign. When May Berggren accosts him, Robert confides that he is waiting for the address to be printed so that he, too, may take his course. Robert hopes to be- come a Kearny political leader in order to run against James Neighbour, that stirring speaker who aspires to the oflic-e of Mayor. May in turn confides that sh-e is a dancing hostess in the Lloyd School and is aided by Cecelia Brown, Jeanne Gerrodette, and Rena Ellingwood. These assistants devote most of their time to originating novel and exciting steps. Eleanor Brandenburg tells the boys what to wear to make an impression. Bright neon lights draw out attention to the beer garden run by Arthur Makholm. The girls in the check room are Marie Mercy, Marion Larkin, and Jean Mitchell while Gertrude Manthey and Vivien Sowden sell cigarettes, cigars, and candy. Lined up at the bar W-e see Joseph Chesaitais, Gerald Epifanio, Oscar Heinze, Evelyn Hammer, and Carol French happily munch- ing free pretzels. The chief entertainment of the beer garden is the Singing Waiters: Mark Crook, Robert VanNuise, and Edward Garlick, who, as the girls say, have such nice knees showing in those German costumes. Qlncidentally these costumes were designed by the Ethel Carlson Costumersj. At a side table Dorothy Craig and Janette Ingram sit making faces, causing the waiters to laugh and spoil their tuneful yodels. The orchestra has its best members John Saviello, who imitates Maurice Chevalier, and Howard Helleberg who does Ted Lewis. Robert Mielish Page F i jty-one THE LAMP POST plays a hot saxaphone and Nathan Vonderlippe is the exponent of the harp in a jazz orchestra. The duet Chopsticks played by Ada Thelin and Carlton White is a favorite number. The Four Rhumba Redheads are a nightly attrac- tion starring Mildred Dunlap, Morris Saletan, Isabel Dockray, and George Smith. George dyed his hair to take part in this combination. The tango done by Arthur Cappilla and Marie Walsh is beautifully executed. Elsie Barclay and Elizabeth Shedd-en are loud in their praises of Daniel Varlese, the enterprising chef of the establishment, who uses Hazel Washington's recipes exclusively. The building next door offers a counter-attraction in the form of a dance marathon sponsored by the John Schmidt Celluloid Collar Company, with Joseph Stanish as the dance manager. Frank Tartaglia and Angus Smart are the stalwart doormen who report you to Officer Rupp. The couple favored to win is that strong combination of Walter Mercy and Florence Murphy alth-ough Frank Morrell with Sylvia Kanowith and Milton Wilkinson with Olive Beck are running them very close seconds. Florence Salvest is dancing by herself since her partner, George Thomson, dropped from exhaustion. Betty Duncan and Pauline Fajcik are both attending, trying to get local color f-or a magazine story. Julius Galinis and Donold Secor, veterans of five con- tests, and their partners, Muriel Connor and Margaret McLaren, are aiding with helpful hints. You are probably astounded by these predictions. But then, what else could you expect of a group of people so much out of the ordinary? Remember, they are governed by Aquarius, the Water Beaver, D -Mary G.

Page Fifty-two ' V 'Vik 1'FlE3'-- JANUARY 193 4 CLASS WILL q E, the Class of January 1934, being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of sound mind, memory, and understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills, by us at any time heretofore made. And first, we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that 'the funeral shall be carried on with all the dignity and pomp which our situation in the high school has merited. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows: FIRST: We give and bequeath to the Board of Education restful nights and peaceful dreams. We promise them a rest from the class of January 1934's petitions. They have done their duty and they shall have their reward. SECOND: We give and bequeath to Alex Zarn, the 12B class baby, the traditional milk bottle, with the compliments of Stanton Leggett. that he may preserve, protect, and defend it with all his honor and forward it to a capable person upon his graduation. THIRD: We give and bequeath to the Business Manager of next year's Lamp Post the booklet entitled, Business Ability, compiled by Stephen Hodges, the financial wizard of our class. FOURTH: We give and bequeath to the Junior class the Senior seats in Chapel, toward which they have cast longing glances for many years. May they be as fond of the front row in the ensuing year as we have been this past year. Let each member show his gratitude by being promptly in his seat every Friday morning. - Senior dignity is always handed over to the new-made lords of the high school world. We are afraid this would be a strain on the nerves and muscles of the gay Juniors, so we give them this bottle of smelling salts that they may recover and rise to the solemnity of the occasion. FIFTH: We give and bequeath to the Sophomores a check for one dollar, to help defray the expenses of printing Chapel Tickets together with our best wishes for success in their selling campaign to the incoming Freshmen. SIXTH: We give and bequeath to the Freshmen a pair of sun glasses that they may protect their eyesight upon entering into the light of the senior school. Page Fi fty-three THE LAMP POST SEVENTH: We give and bequeath to Miss Joyner this bamboo pole with a point on the end, to pick up the scraps of paper in the aisles in the hope that it will lighten her burden. EIGHTH: We give and bequeath a sum of money to provide for magazines to be used in Study Hall, as the encyclopedias are quite dry for those who have forty minutes to spare. NINTH: We give and bequeath to our music maestro, Mr. J. V. Pearsall, a can of Kant Rust to take the notes out of his Chevrolet so he will not have to mix business with pleasure. TENTH: We give and bequeath to the faculty this quart of green ink, to help ease the strain on the eyes of students receiving D's as the teachers seem to have a passion for red ink. ELEVENTH: We give and bequeath to Mr. Mankey a large hand- kerchief with which to dry his eyes after we are gone. TWELFTH: We give and bequeath to Mr. Haas a membership blank in the Tall Story Club in the belief that he will be president of that organization in the near future. THIRTEENTH: We give and bequeath to Miss Alden this prison key ring with an identification tag, so she will have no more trouble in locating her often misplaced keys. POURTEENTH: We give and bequeath to Miss Laros, our beloved class advisor, this class picture which we have had made out of asbestos to prevent burning. We do hereby constitute the deans sole executors of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we the class of January 1934. the testators, have to this our last will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hand and seal this twenty fourth day of January, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and thirty four.

Our rings, over which the class debated so heatedly last year, have arrived, much to the relief of the harassed Ring Committee. We have sold Christmas cards to everyone whoewould listen to our sales talk. And finally, to top all other events, the 12B Class produced one of the fmest plays Kearny High School has ever seen. Skidding, with an excellent cast and coach, proved to be a dramatic success. Page F-ijty-six JANUARY 193 4 1 lA CLASS ARRYING on with the same spirit of cooperation and zest that helped to make the last Junior Prom the crowning event of the first term of the Junior year, the llA class staged a highly successful Thanksgiving dance. Without question, this has been the outstanding event of the te-rm. The class is now eagerly looking toward further achievements in the Senior year, soon to begin.

Thus far the most important business undertaken, beside the election of officers, has been the revision of the constitution. The programs, under the chairmanship of Rose Kummel, have been varied and interesting. Guest speakers have been Dr. Max Kummel, whose subject was Science in Russian: Mr. I. R. Asen, who presented a demonstration of Laboratory Aids to Medicinen: and Mr. Bernard S. Coleman, who talked about Opportunities in Science . The greatest social undertaking has been the Christmas party. Although January plans have not been completed at the time this goes to press, it is ex- pected that there will be a lecture on aeronautics, and a field trip. ' ilu Page Sixty-seven THE LAMP , POST a KEARNY HIGH SCHOOL BAND HE Kearny High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Gray, has a membership of forty players. It is larger than ever before and has participated in more activities than usual. The band always lends color to the football games. and this year it participated in four N. R. A. parades, three of them out of town. The band was presented with two slide trombones for this work, one by Swift i5 Co. of Jersey City and one by T. Shriver Q5 Co. of Harrison. Band members are eligible for letters after the requirements of the General Music Organization have been met. Page Sixty-eight JANUARY 1934 THE ORCHESTRA EARNY High Schools Orchestra is progressing very rapidly this year From both school sessions combined there are seventy who attend the rehearsals held on Monday of each week. School letters are warded for this activity. In order to receive a letter, a person must have perfect attendance. The dues are five cents a week and are used principally for music and letters. The officers of the organization are Leo Draughton, president and Isabel Robinson, secretary. They represent the orchestra in the General Music Organization, which is composed of the members of the Band, Orchestra, Girls' Glee Club, and the Boys' Glee Club. This year Ethel Cheersar, Isabel Robinson, and Fred Baier were sent to Atlantic City to represent Kearny in the All-State Orchestra. Under the leadership of Mr. Gray. the orchestra plays at graduation, P. T. A. meetings, and the various class plays. Page Sixty-nine THE LAMP POST BOYS' GLEE CLUB HE Boys' Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Pearsall, is composed of those boys interested in singing. ln s-o far as possible, the four parts: iirst and second tenor, and first and second bass are represented. The organization, designed primarily for worthwhile voice training, meets every Thursday in the music room during the seventh period. At present there are twenty-four members. The club arranges special programs for chapel and other functions. Page Seventy JANUARY 193 4 S GIRLS' GLEE CLUB OR a number of years, the Girls' Glee Club has been an active organi- zation in Kearny High School. It was organized by Miss Catherine Killough, under Whose leadership it still continues. The club is limited to Junior and Senior girls and at present has an enrollment of seventy members Dues are paid every week. This money is used for the music expenses of the club. A pin is given to each member who has paid all her dues and has perfect attendance. The Girls' Glee Club provides entertainment in Chapel, at commence- ment. and for the Parent-Teachers' Association. Page Seventy-one BF THE LAMP POST DANCE ORCHESTRA The dance orchestra has been organized for the purpose of playing at the school dances. The orchestra is composed of the following: Leo Droughton 4- Alto Sax Director Vincent Droughton - Tenor Sax John Wiegand - Baritone Sax Fred Baier - Violin Walter Nelson - Violin Tony Mattola - Banjo and Guitar - Sonny Roujon - Drums Mr. Colin H.

Hopes are raised high by the return of five lettermen and all the junior varsity squad. By the time this-has been published, the team will be well through the season, but so far only one game has been played. On December 15, South Side High School of Newark was defeated in a brilliant over-time game by the score of 44-43. As this marked the first defeat in a regularly scheduled game in the last two and a half years for the South Side courtsters, Kearny may well expect a successful season. At present the varsity squad consists of Buckley, Capozzi, Harrison. Hawkins, Leggett, Purdie, Captain Stanish, Stevenson. and Telfer. There are many good prospects from among the sophomores, and it looks as though Kearny will stand high in statewide competition this year. Page Seventy-four 'A JANUARY 1934 FOOTBALL T the end of the 1933 season, Kearny is again reputed to have one of the best football teams in this section of the state by having won five, tied one, and lost three out of the nine oflicially scheduled games. The few games that the Big Red lost were won only after Kearny had made a valient attempt to check the invaders. Kearny rolled up a total score of 105 points against 57 which was the combined score of all adversaries. In that one scoreless tie, they outplayed their opponents although they failed to score against them. In a post-season charity game, the team defeated Newark Central by 6-0. The team was an organization with no individual shining as an outstanding playtr. Each player was a star individually, and together they comprised the great squad of 1933, The junior varsity plaved eleven games, the outcome of which makes Kearny's task of selecting candidates for the 1934 varsity considerably easier. despite the fact that sixteen of the 1933 squad will graduate before next s-eason. - -wr 'W' T-dl ' ii '-'U-o 1 -its A1 li- - 'v-A 'I' H W ' 3 Page Seventy-five THE LAMP POST KEARNY DEFEATS EAST SIDE 15-6 KEARNY MAKES FIRST DOWN ON 50 YARD STRIPE Page Seventy-six JANUARY 1934 INTERFERENCE LEADS HEDING FOR A 15 YARD GAIN PATTWELL CLIPS OFF A GOOD GAIN THROUGH RIGHT TACKLEQ Page Seventy-seven THE LAMP POST . - .. , S- 3 3 , Q x....

Although there have been many at Kearny, never before has a team played such a strenuous schedule as our team of l9333. Soccer is rapidly regaining its old popularity in North Jersey, which means bigger and better teams. The 1933 schedule consisted of two games with each of the follow- ing schools: Bound Brook, East Rutherford, Trenton, Bayonne, Paterson Central, Thomas Jeffersn, Verona, Harrison, and Woodrow Wilson. Coach Bill Atkinson upheld his record when his 1933 team de- feated our old rivals, Harrison, by 4-2 score. Never under his coaching has Kearny lost to Harrison. The most valuable players were Capt. Charles Waller, Frank Schultz, Walter Dowie, and Ralph Cole.
