Ridge also tasted defeat at the hands ol the Millers, 13 to 6. Caldwell torteited the follow- ing game to us by the score of 1 to U. Powerful Scott then shut us out, 19 to U. Things went bet- ter with Roselle Park, as we pulverized them, 32 to 13. We then played Verona to a standstill in a second-half uprising, but the Millers tied the Hillbillies, 13 to 13. Thanksgiving Day was a joyous occasion in many ways, as we tri- umphed over the Madison Dodgers, 26 to U. ..1'-1 . - .g.f.'ff' .-- -,. That is the history of one of the best teams ever to defend the sacred honors and colors of Millburn High School. Assisting Coach Paul Cherin this year were Coaches Hillman, Focht, and Sadowski. Let's hope that the winning combination of Coaches in 1946 can repeat it- selt in 1947.

The whole school can be proud of the splendid showing that our team made this season. Thetteam amassed a total of six wins, two losses, and one tie. The class of 1947 can also leave the school the proud fact they won the Suburban Conference. The team of 1939 was the last team to take the trophy until we, the class of '47, came along. It seemed a fitting tribute to Coach Paul Cherin, who came back after serving a hitch in the Navy, to coach the '47 Millburn Gridders. Stcmdouts this year were seniors Ed Miller. Carmen Pacifico, Bud Stieve, and Iohn Schaum- berg in the backfieldp Bill Franke, Ed Clausner, Iohn Faenza, Rocco Marketta, Bob Freeman. and Paul Tighe on the line. The season started with a smashing vic- tory over Bernardsville, 32 to U, who, incident- ally, has yet to beat a Millburn team in any sporting contest since the beginning oi hostili- ties. Next Westfield took the measure of us, 16 to 6. Then Summit, our old rival, was dashed on the rocks of defeat by the score of 34 to U. tying the all-time Millburn scoring record. Glen Q... 4 T? 5-.
