But once “losing ourselves” inside it on that fateful first day, we felt a little smaller and greener. We got acquainted with Mr. Robert McKellin, our faithful adviser, and elected Carl Laspada, president; Mike Heynio, vice president; Mary Burke, secretary; and Joan Rainey, treasurer as officers for that first term. A year later we became “much older” and “well-educated” sophomores. We planned our “St. Paddy’s Hop” which we considered a satisfying success—very much enthused over our first project. (Thanks, also, to Mr. Richwine’s class.) Carl Laspada. Yolanda Gaglio, Julie McCurlcy, and Pat McPherson were our officers. To lead us through that unforgettable junior year we chose Carl Laspada, Pat McPherson, and Muriel Twist. The “Big Night” was May 11 and “Its” name was Broadway Silhouette”, a prom we’ll never forget. Following that term our neighbors and relatives bought Christmas cards. Lastly we had our “Leap Year Dance”, an all ‘round success. Then we were seniors! All thirty-two of us (unbelievable but true). With Carl Laspada (again!), Muriel Twist, Lillian Silvera, and Nancy Yanecek in office, we auspiced our play Charley’s Aunt”. Next in sight was our Senior Dance, Class Trip, Senior Farewell, and Graduation. About four years we spent working—having fun—making friends—indelible years in our memories and the longest and the shortest four years we shall ever experience. 12A CLASS HISTORY As the portals of Kearny High School close slowly behind us, we, the graduating class of June 1952, pause for a moment to recall the experiences of four years. Such a short time has passed since we entered these same doors to meet Mr. William Richwine, our class sponsor. A little frightened by our new surroundings but ready to take on the whole world, we selected Fred Law, Dottie Hauck. Ed Brandis, and Harry Ferrell to lead us. As freshmen, authority surrounded us. Patiently we waited for the year to pass. Finally our sophomore year arrived. This was the beginning of our high school activity. Planning our first afternoon dance, The Sleighhe]] Swing”, and then our second venture, “St. Paddy’s Hop”, were Neil Secor, Dottie Hauck. Kay Nichols, and Bill Fox. Our junior year we accomplished our goal—we became upperclassmen with Joanne Schreiber. Joe Forlenza. Dottie Hauck. Ronald Thomas, and Flora Karhune at the head. Promoting a Christmas card sale was the first item on a long list of activities. This being very successful, we were able to hold our Junior Prom, Broadway Silhouette”, in the grand manner. Our beautiful library overlooking the Manhattan skyline was transformed into a nightclub. What a wonderful night that was! Then our senior year—the l est was yet to come! Joe Forlenza, Dottie Hauck. Mickey Salerno, and Jack Davidson were selected to guide us through a crowded schedule. A square dance, The Harvest Hop”, was our first fun fair. We then sponsored the mystery-comedy play, “The Cnt and the Canary”. Our last evening dance in the school was “The Leap Year Dance”. Then into the rush of Class Night, the Class Trip to Rye Beach, and our last wonderful formal, the Senior Farewell, held at the Moresque. ■taw the doors are closed, we no longer hesitate, we step forth with firm strides into the future. 5. -t o U 2 z n (Joe rof'len a • z Vi: jrr06- V 0 r wv, The best in this kind are but shadows. William Shakr prare SENIORS Mr. William Richwine and Mr. Robert McKellin have wisely and patiently sponsored the present happy-go-lucky seniors through four years of class activity. Of great importance in the senior year is the 12B play. In the fall, the three act murder mystery, “The Cat and the Canary,” was presented; in the spring, the farcial comedy “Charley’s Aunt”. The social whirl has not been neglected this year for the two classes of seniors sponsored two dances, “The Harvest Hop” and “The Leap Year Dance.” Joseph Forlenza, Jack Davidson, Dorothy Hauck, and Mary-Jane Salerno have served as president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer of the 12A Class. Carl Laspada, Muriel Twist, Lillian Silvera, and Nancy Yanacek have been 12B officers in like order.

Mrs. Shirley Greenfield and Miss Leah Skelton have successfully piloted the two classes through the long planning and achieving of the first class formal affair, the Junior Prom. Both sponsors also steered the classes to the long awaited moment when every junior becomes the proud possessor of his school ring. Working with the sponsors have been the class officers including presidents, Gordon Clark and James Alexander; vice presidents, Evelyn Laurie and Gene Thomson; secretaries, Nheiva Bohan and George McNeil; and treasurers, Eleanor Ramsey and William Oldknow. SOPHOMORES First events in a budding social program are always long remembered. None the least of these has been the sophomore class program. Two afternoon dances co-sponsored by the 10A and 10B classes were “The Sleigh- ride Swing and St. Paddy s Jig . Committees functioned under the leadership of Donald Monaco and Edward Manthey, 10A and 10B presidents; James Norton and Lorraine Tillberg, vice presidents; Virginia Cali and Marie Capone, secretaries; Catherine Stirling and John Shymanski, treasurers. Both sets of officers have been ably guided by the class sponsors, Mr. Donald Hoagland and Mr. John Mastroean. FRESHMEN Early introduction to school government comes to the 9A and 9B classes when they learn the procedure for electing officers. Mr. Edward Swatt and Mrs. Fanny French have set the classes in the direction that will eventually represent fond memories for all members. Officers elected have been George Bottger and Joseph Tracy, presidents; Thomas Kelly and Robert Baucrs, vice presidents; Margaret Easton and Roberta McNeil, secretaries; and Tatsuo Matsushita and Claire Glass, treasurers. s£fi;in;)i)]£s 10B SECRETAHIES Left to Riuht: Tiilberg, Capone.

All members of the publications staffs are students in the journalism classes. The Editorial Staff which creates and organizes the annual yearbook, the Lamp Post, represents students who have risen from the ranks of cub reporters, reporters, assistant editors and editors. The selling of subscriptions and advertising is the responsibility of the Business Staff, volunteers who have served at least as homeroom salesmen of the book. Members of the staffs who have done outstanding work in publications and have the scholastic standing are asked to join Quill and Scroll, the National Honorary Society For High School Journalists, the highest honor a journalism student may attain.

Typical of most bi-weekly newspapers is the Hi-Kearnian with headquarters in room 334 where hustling and hustling is the usual rule. Typing, editing, proof marking, pasting galley proofs, and proof reading are responsibilities generously sprinkled with fun. Insufficient funds is the regular lament of the Business Staff which conducts repeated campaigns to arouse the interest of those students who read the “Hike” but fail to buy it. Without the students who volunteer to undertake the task of selling the school-paper, the publication could not survive. Every salesman who wishes to receive credit must sell at least ten subscriptions each term. A sincere effort is made each year to cover adequately and fairly school subjects and activities. Interviews with students and teachers are arranged each issue. 33 HI-KEARNIAN EDITORIAL STAFF Left to Rinht: Richardson, Cuozzi, M ait her, Thelin, Silvcra, Jackson, McCardle, Perkins.

The Kards humbled Bloomfield and Bob Pascal 13-7 during mid-season. They went on to win their last five straight games. Their 27-0 victory over Nutley was also a thrilling contest. It was featured by precision blocking and great defensive play. This season, Coach Argauer’s team was captained by lohn “Buster” McCabe.

Mr. Webster. - U � a n.Vr, n’ 9� “P- kobholtz, Mitchell, TRACK CROSS COUNTRY Starting out with a completely new and inexperienced squad of youngsters, Coach Jardine tried to round his cross-country team into a winning combination. Mr. Jardine had a very green squad but they worked very diligently. Although they could not gain many victories, the Kearny Hill and Dalers did have the distinction of defeating Nutley. The squad was run by running-manager Bruce Wood. Confronted with a great rebuilding project, Kearny's track mentor, Harold Jardine, once again came up with a winning combination. The team of Jack Summers, Chris Rittman, Jim Norton, and Bob Varrin, was good enough to capture the mile relay event in the Milrose Games. Jim Norton was another outstanding performer. Bruce Wood was the running manager again as he was in Cross-Country. TRACK Front Row: Oldknown, Rittman, Varrin, Pfeifer, Summers. Back Row: Pfeifer, Mullins, McLaren, Deehan, Grahowski, Norton. VARSITY “K” At the end of each scholastic athletic season, boys who have met the requirements for that sport receive a varsity “K”. In most sports those who do not receive a “K are awarded a K.H.S. emblem. After winning two varsity letters in any one sport a boy is awarded an honor sweater by the Kearny High School Athletic Council. These sweaters are given out during the junior and senior year. CROSS COUNTRY Front Row: McLaren, Pfeifer, Pfeifer, Martone, Mullins. Back Row: Mr. Jardine, Shindell, Everett, Wood, Todd. COACH ARCAUER WITH THE BALL Captained by Buster McCabe and Tom McCloskey, Kearny High court squad had mid-season troubles and won only six out of seventeen games. On Kearny's schedule were some of the state’s toughest teams. They included such powerhouses as Montclair, Belleville, Irvington, Bloomfield, West Orange and Nutley. This, Coach Doc Loughridgcs last season, was not a complete failure, however. The Kards won two of their last three games. Pat Bilotti and John Taylor were the managers.
