Metuchen High School - Blue Letter Yearbook (Metuchen, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1954 volume:

FOREWORD The Indian theme of this year book was suggested by part of our Metuchen High School seal. We recognize the cultural con- tributions ot the American Indian, but our special interest is in this area. Long ago the Indians of New Iersey were divided among twenty ruling chiefs. The greatest was Chief Raritan, whose domain spread along the Raritan Valley. A local leader named Metuchion had a camp in the some section. In those days a chief was geographically named for his locality. Me- tuchion, the Indian word for rolling hills, ,4 -4. ' KM'-f , I., .v r seems an appropriate appelation as Metuch- en is the highest point between New York and Trenton. Chiet Metuchion, or Chief of The Rolling I-lills, is believed to have lived in this area three hundred years ago. Early settlers bought this area from the Indians. Metuch- en, originally called Metuching, was a town built around a church known as the Metuch- ing Meeting House. Many arrows, axes and utensils that farmers plowed up in this area further indicate our Indian heritage. -:f:.,, LAW' 4. 4 ra... ' .

Charlie Fitch '54 SEEN EVERYWHERE Tarcila Vigil, Lewis Wilkinson Many ,Marius Aga Many moons ago, as a band of Freshmen, we cautiously took our first steps down the halls of the then unknown territory of Senior High School. This year was not only our Freshman year, but also the half-way mark of the century. For our class officers we elected Ioan Lamparter as president, with Elaine Beck as vice-president. Sollace Mol- ineux and Ann Dunne assisted as treasurer and secretary. After a brief season of getting settled, we plunged into fierce battle with Latin 1 and I. B. T. With great expectations we launched our first class dance. Using Apple Blossom Time as our theme, we gave Van Kirk Auditorium the new look of spring flow- ers and pastel streamers. We had the proud distinction of being the first Freshman class of Metuchen High School to engage a band. It seemed as if we had scarcely had a chance to turn around before we advanced one more rung on the ladder to become Sophomores. Charles Fitch was elected as president, with Gloria Ahearn as vice-pres- ident, Sollace Molineux and Ann Dunne again acted as secretary and treasurer. Our Sophomore year saw the beginning of many things. The girls startled us with the latest fad-the poodle cut, while the boys appeared in plaid vests. Now we were O 0 O eligible to try out for the Footlighters, and to start our first day of cheerleading prac- tice. This year we were finally allowed to enter candidates in the battle for the office of vice-president of Student Government. With enormous enthusiasm we embarked on our campaigning, and as a result we en- joyed the distinction of having one of our girls elected as vice-president. The follow- ing year she was to go on to become pres- ident. The Wheel of Fortune spun on the mag- ic night of our Sophomore Dance, and we found ourselves swept into our Iunior year. We were deluged by a torrent of Chemistry, Typing, sports, and plans for a Iunior Prom. Since we did not have the usual Iunior Dance, we had to plan the Prom without the benefit of the profits from an earlier dance. With Midnight Cruise as our theme, we planned a breath-taking Prom. In the course of an afternoon the Auditorium was transformed into a beautiful, sea-faring ship complete with gang-plank and life- preservers. That year Lee Clowes served as president, with Iim Dickinson assisting as vice-president. Carolyn Lankey acted as secretary, and Bob Edleman, as treasurer. In the fall of our Senior year we found ourselves occupying the place of honor in the long house. Charles Fitch was again elected as our chief, and Gloria Ahearn again served as vice-president. The positions of secretary and treasurer were occupied by Marilyn Baumlin and Barbara Christoph. We knew this year would be the last time we were to act, dance, play, and study' as students of Metuchen High School. Realiz- ing this, we tried to make the most of everythihng we did. Now we were entitled to Senior privileges. A lunch room was set aside for Seniors only. I doubt that any of us will forget the day we first marched into Assembly as Seniors. All through high school we had stood out of respect as other Senior classes marched in, but now we, our- selves, were being honored by classmen. One of the highlights year was the presentation of the Foot Forward, by the Senior whole class contributed to the the play by being in the cast, the under of our last play, Best class. Gur success of acting as stage hands, prompters, make-up artists. or by selling tickets. A new custom was inaugurated this year. The varsity football squad elected a queen of football. She was crowned under an arch of batons at the Keyport game at Roosevelt Park. During the half-time of this game our cross country track team scored a victory over St. Benedict's harriers, This marked the first time that a cross country race was held during the half-time of an M. H. S. football game, To top everything off, the football team brought the season to a glorious cli- max with a twenty-six to nineteen victory over Highland Park. Almost unbelievably fast the sands of time had slipped through our fingers, and we found ourselves trying on the Senior plumage of caps and gowns. All oi us have looked forward to the moment of gradua- tion, but now that it has arrived we can't help feeling twinges of regret. Finally We have come to the abrupt awakening that graduation night is the last time we walk down the aisles of Van Kirk Auditorium as high school students. We who have traveled the same trail for four short years are soon to separate to follow divergent paths, but we will never forget the years we have spent together. Metuchen High School has given us much, and it is our Wish to be able to make her proud of us by aiming at worth-while goals and doing our best to make our arrows hit the mark. I-low we could have crammed so much into four short years is a mystery to us, but here we are, Seniors, on the brink of the processional to the strains of 'iPomp and Circumstancef' As We take part in the traditional ceremony of graduation our minds will be filled with thoughts of mo- ments we have enjoyed together. We will journey on with countless happy memories. 5 l' Lg is 0 ...q ... - , git' 1 ' mW ls. YA- IJ, , I, L, 3 451 . Y n.r.g'.- HL- Q! 0 v A Q , . l fl -36- 1 gl 1. ll!

McBride, Mr. F. Constantine, Student Government Many benefits tor the students of Metuch- en High have been continued and new ones have been organized by the Student Government this year. Among these were a senior honor lunch room, intramural sports at lunch time, a student coordinator ap- pointed in a new cabinet position, plans drawn up for a united fund in M. H. S. and a get-acquainted program planned for new students at the beginning of the new school year. Perhaps the biggest accom- plishment was the organization ot a county sportsmanship crusade under the leader- ship of Metuchen. The Legislature, our body ol representa- tives, met every Tuesday noon with Bill Frye presiding, Nancy Deisher serving as secretary, and Mr. Constantine acting as counselor, They endeavored to keep the school constitution up-to-date and to make any amendments that proved necessary. Grievance-s and suggestions for improve- ment were discussed and bills were introduc- ed by the homeroom representatives, The job ot carrying out decisions of the Legisla- tive Council rested with the Executive Coun- cil or the Cabinet, whose members included School President Sollace Moline-ux, Vice President William Frye, and various sec- retaries appointed by the president.

IUDICIARY SUPREME COURT G PATROLS The Iudiciary Branch of the Student Gov- ernment has two main departments: the Su- preme Court and the Patrols. The Supreme Court, consisting of two judges from every grade and headed by the Attorney Gen- eral, worked to emphasize the prevention and elimination of any problems that might lead to poor discipline. There are two main functions of the Supreme Court. The first task is trying offenders. When a person vio- lates a law or rules of the school, he is given a ticket or summons and must appear before the Supreme Court. He may plead innocent or guilty. Gur Supreme Court works in a manner similar to that of the Civil and Federal Courts. .nfl The second task of the Supreme Court is to see that any new laws that the Student Government has written do not go against the constitution. The other department of the Iudiciary Branch is the patrols, who work very closely with the Supreme Court. They enforce the laws of the school and bring charges against offenders. With Mr. Iackler as adviser and Robert Nastanovich Attorney General, the Iudiciary did an efficient job. Our success is indicated by the reduction of the number of offenders this year. Our Student Government puts democracy into action and develops good citizens. -1 C H i W , ,- -n-P' Al u J Bulldog Bark To be on the staff of the Bulldogs Bark, a student must take the twofweek journalism course offered at the beginning of the year and pass an exam creditably.

Well, with a few good blocks and some fancy stepping, Nelson went all the way. He rnust have broken the back of Highland Park, because they never recovered. Although our backfield was superb, we cannot forget our defensive and offensive line, With All-State Dick Wickberg and Eddy Kukish in the line, we had nothing to fear. They tackled viciously all day. lf you don't believe us, ask the Highland Park back- field. lf a Park back happened to slip through the line, he had a head-on collision with our backer-ups Ken Burton, Ray Borup and Nelson Stallings, Highland Park tried a corne-back, but to no avail. The final score was 26-19 in our favor. We Seniors are not trying to take all the credit. We wouldn't have won if not for such outstanding Iuniors as Quarterback Iohn Lindquist, End Bob Nas- tonovitch, Tackle Bill Frye, and Guard Hayward Bas- kerville. We weren't the only happy people. We are sure Coach Iohn Totin, and Assistant Coach Bob Whithey were proud and overjoyed.

'37 S in Basketball As we go to press the Bulldogs' record stands at four wins and eight losses with seven games remaining to be played, and we're still rooting! Dick Wickberg is again the leading point producer lor the Bulldogs, boast- ing a l7.5 points per game average, He is followed by Bob Nastanovich and Bill Frye, who are scoring 15.9 and 9.8 points per con- test respectively. Scrappy Frank Schneider has been a sparkling defensive standout. A Bulldog rally tell short in the season's opener as they were nipped B3 to 50 by a lighting lvlillburn quintet. ln their first road game the team was overpowered by a strong Sayreville five, 73 to Sl.

'fel' 15' Track Cross Countr The cross-country team, under Coach Iohn Cassell, experienced its most successful sea- son as a varsity sport at M. H. S. The Metuchen Dalers registered nine wins out ot their eleven dual meets. They ended their regular schedule with consecutive vic- tories over three of the strongest teams in New Iersey, One of these teams, St. Bene- dict's Prep., had won 52 straight dual meets. November 2, l953 will be a date long re- membered in the athletic history of M. H. S. On that day the Bulldog Harriers won their first State Championship. It marked the first time in the history of this school that any Metuchen team had won the title of State Champs. Cutdoor The outdoor track team, headed by Coach Tom Bradley, ended its season with an en- couraging dual meet record ot tour wins against two losses. However, the Bulldogs' showing in the Penn Relays enables us to say that they were much better than their record indicates. The Blue and White, led by Stallings, Pink, King and Fedak, brought home Met- uchen's first mile relay victory in the Phila- delphia Relay Carnival and garnered fifth place in the New Iersey State Champion- ships. Most outstanding on the squad were Pete Fedak and Tom King Pedal: set a new state high hurdle record and also set a school record tor a total number ot points scored by one individual' in. one season. King, whose specialty was distance, just missed breaking the school hall-mile record in his last race. -gl -l .J x O Q. tm KN g QB 2.9 BOTTOM, L TO R: Fritz Metzger. Elwood Van Sise.

Lennie Legg, David Dietz, Baseball After experiencing one of its finest seasons in 1952, Coach George Hartlands baseball squad found the road a bit rough- er in 1953. Leading off rather poorly, the team was not ex- pected to stir much excitement, However, after losing a number of close ones, the Bulldogs went on to win six in a row to set their season record at 7-6-2. The big upset of the season was our 7-1 victory over Highland Park. lt spoiled our rivals chances of going unde- feated and also paid them back for the l run defeat which they pinned on us early in the season. Most outstanding on the team were Mike McFaul, Bill Schedneck, and Zony lohnson. McFaul was selected the teams most valuable player chiefly because of his superiority as one of the best pitchers in Middlesex County. lohnson and Schedneck were the leading batters on the team. Schedneck was also captain. 1- tkDd' - sf BOTTOM. L TO R: Fred Molineux. Stan Kebel. loo X f Kubiak. Bob Suliman. Rob- , 11:71 L ert Hall. 2ND ROW: Ronnie ll Kubiak, Bob Erle. Denny Q Harmyk.

BASKETBALL The I. V. squad was not very tall this year, but. What they lacked in height. they made up in fight! Mr. Withey's team did not achieve an impressive won-lost record. but the I.V.'s turned in many brilliant per- formances. Iimmy Reed was the leading scorer for the Iunior Bull- dogs.

Frisoli and McGuiness were most outstanding in the race. placing fourteenth and twenty-first respec- tively. 3' V r ,.., ,L rig: .S O r 'ff - --Y-Um mt. .
