FRANK FOCHT i E MR. ROBERT FADDIS Principal IRECTDR FIIID STHFF DEAR CAST of 1948 M. G. M. tMillburn Goes Moviesj: Congratulationsl You finally made it with a minimum of retakesl Between these covers you are presenting a colorful and interesting scenario of your high high school experiences. It should be the means of recalling many pleasant memories as you review it henceforth. I'm happy for you as you approach the final scene of your high school performance and I'm also grateful that it has been my privilege to act as your Director all of the way. Doubtless you remember that I began working at my present assignment the same year that you began your eventful climb to stardom in M. H. S. There were some moments during that trying but memorable year of our association when I fully expected you would succeed in eliminating me before the end of the first act. The enactment of your opening scenes on the high school level were characterized by the production of seemingly uncontrollable sound effects and vigorous demonstrations of the technique of wasting motion. In spite of these exhibitions it was generally recognized that you had the qualities to make good, for everyone said, What a bunch of characters! However, six years of living in the high school environment has wrought many desirable changes in your attitudes and has resulted in a marked development of your various talents. Preparation of assignments, classroom discus- sions, student government participation, team- work on the athletic field, working and playing together in the various school activities and response to a fair measure of friendly guidance have all been significant factors in the successful preparation for your diversified roles as world citizens. May your efforts to make the world a better place in which to live create a good life for you individually. Accept my appreciation for this personal bit of recognition. So long-1948-and Godspeedl Sincerely, N l MR. CARL SALSBURY Miss RUTH ENSOR MRS.

H. S. Ierry excels in all of these sports, and to busy himself on the sideline, he's President of the Varsity Club, a member of the Hi-Y, and still finds time to work in the Glenwood Sweet Shop. His spare time is devoted to a certain majorette. We know Ierry will realize his ambitions to become a physical education teacher and coach. LAWRENCE A. ALBANESE, Ir. Taking thin s as they come and not worry- ing about anything characterize Larry. Wheth- er he is spending his time pushing cartons around in the A. 81 P. or beating out a terrific tune on the tenor sax, Larry always seems to be enjoyin himself. During leisure hours in school he iusies himself with German Club and 4-H Club. When track season rolls around, he is out with the team, taking his laps in preparation for a big meet. If you can't find Larry in or near school, just look for a blonde Iunior girl. Chances are he'll be nearby. DITA SIGRID ANTHOLZ The gray '41 Mercury pulls to a stop Want a ride? That's Dita, friendly and always ready to do things for others. She's known around Itlillburn for her blond hair, retty face, and excellent taste in clothes. Eita's time is divided among the Art Room, the Music Room tshe was a member of Chorus for two yearsl, and Dick. Dita's quiet and shy ways may have limited the number of her close friends, but those who really know her agree that a more pleasant or fun-loving girl never entered Alillburn High. MALCOLM GREGORY ARMSTRONG You've all seen him, though few have heard him. But just mention Communism, and Malcolm will awaken from his reverie as if struck by a bolt of lightning, his wrath des- cending with all the fury of a ood soap box orator. Mal could undoubtejly have con- vinced Lenin himself of the fallacies of Communistic thought. He doesn't limit his orations to Forum Club debates, but is always ready to defend the free enterprise system, a system in which such a rugged individualist as this is headed lor certain success. JOHN DONALD AURNHAMMER Do you want to know anything about huntin , fishing, or trapping? Do you want your shotgun appraised? Your best bet is to consult johnny Aurnhammer. This den- izen of the deep, dark woods can inform you in a flash about anything concerning the realm of the true sportsman-the great out- doors. Otherwise quiet and reserved, at the mention of fishing or hunting, johnny will relate at length tales of the ones that got away, or about the fifteen-point buck he had in his sights when the trigger jammed! DAVID BAKER Known for his willingness to act as chauffeur after school hours, you usually find Dave cruising down Millburn Avenue with nine fellows in the back seat of the Plymouth, and his attention focussed anywhere but on the road. Dave plans to enter the research chemistry held after finishing college. Al- ready his scientific bent has shown itself in the Physics Club and Chemistry Club. Also a member of Varsity Club, he manages to remain unperturbed during even the most heated discussions there. Dave is an ardent sports fan and is one of Dem Bums' staunch- est supporters. His easy going affability has won Dave widespread popularity. ROBERT BERBERICH When you see a detached look in Berby's eye, don't worryg he's thinking of the hunter's Utopia-a deer behind every tree and a pheasant in every bushy or he's just com- pounding a new theory for one of his original gadgets. To this outdoor man, school seems to fit into his schedule as a sideline, but he still finds time to be an enthusiastic member of the Hunting and Fishing Club. As a mechanic Bob is unsurpassed by any of his classmates. Ayoung man of unusual strength, Berby accomplishes tasks thought impossible by many of us. A happy future seems await- ing Bob in the great outdoors. GERALD CARL BERENDT Who's got my T-square? That's Gerry Berendt, one of Mr. Ridgeway's prize drafts- men and a sharp-shooting Rifle Club member. An outdoor enthusiast, he also belongs to the Huntin and Fishing Club. Renowned for his abiity to twist the German language beyond Miss Heinrich's recognition, Gerry gained the nickname Deutsch when a Sophomore. Deutsch has long been inter- ested in chemistry, and his secret explosives have been subjected to strenuous tests, such as blowing up cement blocks, etc. Gerry will long be remembered as one of the most exuberant boys in the Class of '48. .A . . yr, -H , VXAWHPL ,Q ff :pgs- JUNE COLLYER BERGEN Come on, teaml Let's fight? Bergen's battle cry on the football tield. A peppy figure in blue and white, she did a swell job at her favorite pastime. Cheerleading, though, is only one of her talents. On stage she displayed real ability. Remember her performance of Cora in Clarence and as a dancing maiden in Kris Kringle? But sur- passing all was her npirouetting Essie in our Senior production. As a member of the Drama Club, G. A. A., Miller Business Staff, MILLXY'HEEL Staff, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Council, june did much for llfl.l H. S. Good luck to an unforgettable gxr . ROBERT P. BERSTLER Another hunting excursion, and Bob will be eligible for Mr. MacPhail's most hi hly grized award, the D. S. C. fDistinixi51ed kigpingucrossj. We must say, thoug , that he oes 's cutting in the manner of a sports- man. Splashing through streams and rivers in his seven-league fishing boots, and loaded with his limit of trout or bass, returning homeward from the hunt with his wild game bag, or just being himself-Bob is always a swell sport. School just doesn't seem to fit into his schedule. Happy hunting, Bobl BARBARA ANN BISHOP Bobbie with the bright brown eyes and cheerful smile is one of the best-known and best-liked girls in M. H. S. One of her main interests is Rifle Club, with Mixed Chorus running a close second. She was also the competent secretary of the Dramatic Club. In November, Bobbie was working hard on the Props Committee for You Can't Take It With You. Eve lunch hour you could catch a glimpse of riier brown hair as she rushed up Old Short Hills Road toward home. We know she will be remembered for her natural friendliness toward everyone. RICHARD B. BLAUVELT When we think of 'high-pressure salesman- ship, Dick, who is skilled at breaking down sales resistance with a constant barrage of sufer sales talk, flashes into our minds. But sa esman Blauvelt has his lighter sides Kas Connie will testifyj-his lively witticisms are designed to eliminate boredom forever. When not engaged with Hi-Y, Chemistry Club, or MILLWHEEL affairs, chances are he's off in some secluded spot with Mr. Focht, formu- lating new schemes to aid the sagging bank account of the Senior Class. If these schemes are as effective in business as in school- brother, you're rich! RICHARD D. BOCK With a swift, easy motion a ball streaks down the alley, and Dick rolls u another exceptional game. A good bowlaer, Dick spends much time at Farley's perfecting his techni ue. In school Dick makes himself usefulclny servin as Mr. Salsbury's messen- Sr. At 5:06 lie repairs to the Millburn elicatessen, where he spends his time serving up sandwiches or reclining behind a large bologna. Amiability and nonchalance ac- count for Dick's wide popularity and many friends. MARION DOROTHY BOLTON For variety of activity throughout her high school career, Marion can undoubtedly qualify as outstandin . As Editor-in-Chief of the Miller and Corresponding Secretar for the Suburban Conference, she displays liter jour- nalistic talent. Her duties as Vice-President of Hi-Tri are numerous and exacting. She is a member of the Chorus, Girls' Choir, and archery team. She serves as secretary of the Chemistry Club, and gives valuable assistance on the Math Help Squad. Is it necessary to say that she is an excellent student? That implication is obvious in one word-Vale- dictorian-of the Class of '48, ANDRE E. BRIOD Wanted-For his hilarious jokes and potent attacks on the inventor of geometry. Two thousand dollars reward-For the ability to-convince Mr. Salsbury that the solid geometry book is erroneous. Remarks- May be encountered discussing vital topics in Forum Club or singing with chorus or Boys' Glee Club. Is a capable member of the Math and Varsity Clubs, and a talented performer on the gridiron and track team captain. Also noted for his journalistic capacities on school and municipal publica- tions. Be on the lookout for Andre Briod two years from now as editor of a famous metro- politan newspaper. JOHN H. BROADFOOT What's that? You're looking for someone with an individualistic personality, the capac- ity for doing a job well, and the ability to keep everyone in a light-hearted mood? Iohnny is your man. His never-ending stream of class- room jokes, his unlimited natural abilities, and his tremendous vitality have made him one of the most prominent and popular members of our class. Whether as secretary of Hi-Y, as the rope-swinging vice-president of the Stage Techs, or as a superb flutist in the band, Iohn will always be an asset to any organization of which he may be a member.

BROOKS We saw a great quantity of Hal's excellent work when he was assistant director of the Senior Play. Springtime finds him running around the track, keeping himself in top condition. His good dis osition and willing- ness to shoulder responsibilities will pay him dividends as he forges ahead in the field of medicine. He has devoted a large ercentage of his time to the Iunior Drama Cllub, Math Club, Latin Club, and Senior Drama Club, and these clubs are extremely grateful for his numerous contributions. CATHERINE ANNA BUCHHOLZ Light-haired, brown-eyed Cathy, always busy with her activities-rushing to Mixed Chorus to sing in her sweet soprano voice or hu in throu h the crowded halls to reach Nldlilli Ciub and German Club on time. She is skilled in sewing and knitting and wants to further with sewing after raduation. gtlgy is also an interested memimer of the MILLWHEEL write-up committee, Hi-Tri, and The Order of Rainbow for Girls. She is also a Mariner and goes away with the organ- ization every summer. She enjoys her work in all these activities and is friendly with everyone. ANTON CAMPANELLA Presenting the President of the Class of '48, and his phenomenal rise to fame! -1. Campanella earns a berth on the varsity football team! Skip wins wide acclaim in trackg places fourth in Suburban Con- ference quarter mile! 2. His dramatic ability wins praise for an excellent portrayal of Hubert Stem in Clarence! 3. President Campanella takes over the reins of the Senior Class after the departure of president-elect Underhill! 4. We'l! remember him for his skill in conducting Hi-Y meetings, for his singin in the Senior Chorus and Boys' Glee Club, and his work in the Varsity Club and on the MILLXVHEEL Staff! ARTHUR L. CAPARN Come on, fellas. Squeeze in! Art guns the motor, and the Good Crate Caparn takes off. From the back seat to the motor, the crew will agree that the bespectacled fellow in the driver's seat is a real guy. Art will be remembered for the great dexterity he exhibited in various kinds of shopwork, and for his consuming interest in automobiles. Art augments his income by working as a gas station attendant during after school ours. Though his schedule doesn't have much room for extra activities, he always finds time for a friendly greeting and a broad smile. -1'- 16 N IC HOLAS CERRO Though he is small and quiet, Nick's presence is not forgotten. Ile is most at ease with a lathe and a piece of wood, for he excels in all phases of the wood-working art. You can always depend on Nick to come through with a strike when his bowling team appears to be headed for ignominious defeat. He spends many of his leisure hours at Farley's. His perseverance and will power can spell only one word for this well-liked boy- success. GILBERT S. CHASE One of the ace foto fanatics in M. H. S. is blond Gil Chase, known for his quiet elliciency and for his contributions to the MILLxK'liEEl, as a staff photographer. After being manager of the track team in his Sophomore year, Gip became a member of the Varsity Club. One of the lirst in our class to acquire one of those antiquated vehicles sometimes called an automobile, Gip has made his car a familiar sight on the streets of Millburn, YVith the enormous skill which he repeatedly displays, Gil is sure to make a great name for himself in commercial photography. BARBARA JOAN CLARK Ioan is the smooth, sleek, and sophisticated lady of our class. With her shining brown hair and hazel eyes she has the makings of a perfect model, as proven when she appeared in the Oranges 81 Montclair Magazine. Be- ing a member of the Dramatic Club and Hi- Tri, lending her voice to the Senior Chorus, Circulation Manager of the Miller, plus the MILLWHEEL Staff keep her busyg but Ioan still manages to be an honor student. Here's wishing her lots of luck and success. We know with her ability and sophistication she has a head start on the road to happiness. ROBERT GEORGE CLARK Did you say you saw a tank? Chances are you just saw Clark's Clunk roaring through the streets of South Mountain with axles screaming and sprin s sagging from the weight imposed by a load of mirthful boys. We d say that Bob is the proud possessor of a '51 Auburn. An avid outdoor enthusiast, Bob is active in the Hunting and Fishing Club. Many a hapless rabbit or trout finds its way into Bob's game bag, come winter and spring. The coming years hold much for Bob, for his gaiety is unquenchable. JAMES CONSALES Carrying out the tradition of the Consales family, Iim was one of the outstanding musicians in the school. Playin the trumpet in the Band, Orchestra, and Eance Band occupied much of Iim's time. At the be- ginning of his senior year Iim enlisted in the Army, and it wasn't long before he became a member of the United States Army Band at West Point. After his discharge, Iim probably will o into the field of music, so make way for tie future Harry Iames! JOANNE DOLORES COPPOLA Picture a short, dark-haired girl walking down the hall with a smile on her face, beaming with personality, and you have Jenny. She keeps herself busy typing for the Miller and working in the library after school. Iennie's favorite sport is baseball, in which she excels. If you happen to peek in the auditorium while the Chorus is re- hearsing, you will see Iennie doin her part. Fourth period she is seen bustling tirough the halls doing secretarial work for Mr. Shannon. Ienny's ambition is to be a private secretary, and she'll make a good one! ANN CAROLYN CORNELL Here she comes, sauntering down the hall. lt's Muffy fWhat's the rushflj Cornell. She is oing to join the line waiting outside the locier room for their better ha ves. Iimmy is Mutl s, of course. In her activities Muiify is anything but slow. ln her Iunior year, she was on committees for the Prom and Play. She was the student director for Kris Kringle and a member ofthe G. A. A. and Knitting Club. By joining Hi-Tri, serving on the MILLWHEEL Staff, on the Senior Play and Kris Kringle Day committees, Muff is graduating with a burst of glory. VINCENT IOSEPH COYLE Tall, cheerful, and always eager for a joke, Vince left Millburn High School at the end of his Freshman year to attend Valley Forge Military Academy as a sophomore, and spent the other year in South Dakota, where he established a reputation as a top notch end. Spectators saw him this fall displaying the talents he had 'acquired in his absence: he won an end post on the varsity squad, and joined the Varsity Club in December. Vince plans to be a rancher, and no doubt he will make a very good looking cowboy. MARIE'I'I'A JUNE CURREY As we look into our crystal ball, we see that in the past Iune was a member of the Commercial Club and the Dramatic Club- in the past and present it was lunior and Senior Chorus and Hi-Tri. Ping, Iune's playing cupid. lt never fails. Every spring and fall she's out with the Archery Team, making bulls'-eyes. We look deeper into our crystal ball and find her roller-skating at Morris and Essex-what's this? She's skat- ing with a Frenchman! Oo-la-la! Our crystal ball is aglow with the future, full of happiness. CARMELA MARY D'ANDREA Need a friendly smile, a cute remark, or just a sunny atmosphere? Send for Millie, who will probably be hurrying down the hall with a stack of neatly typewritten papers. This young Miss has participated in many activities, such as G. A. A., Chorus, and Red Cross. She has also served as Typing Editor of the MILLWHEEL. Whether itls making a point for her team in basketball or rushing down to Springfield, Millie has shown her liking for love and sports. We're sure her rand personality and cute looks will help Eer attain her ambition as a secretary. GERDA PRUDE DAVIDSON Coming to us from Portugal in the seventh grade, Gert soon became accustomed to the routine of Millburn High. Her sunny nature and friendly smile have endeared her to everyone. She is known for her corny jokes and silly remarks. Gravel is an active member ofthe G. A. A. and the Chorus. She is also a member of Senior Dramatic Club, Spanish Club, and Hi-Tri. After graduation she intends to live in New York and attend a business school. CHARLES DEY One of the best all-around athletes in our class, Doc won ten varsity letters at Millburn. President of the Freshman class, he also served three ears on the Student Council. In addition lie was Vice-President of the Varsit Club in his Senior year and Captain of botlli the basketball and tennis teams in the same year. On the gridiron, opponents found it no picnic to try to run through his tackle osition, for he is a sizable gent who plays liis position to the limit. In addition, Doc was a Hi-Y member for three years. ROBERT MARSHALL DOBBIE With a hearty Fore! , Divot-digger Dobbie tees off once more, and a squarely hit ball sails down the center of the fairway. When not on the links pacing the golf team to victory with his astoundingly low scores, this likeable fellow mi ht be encountered at a Hi-Y or Varsity Clui meeting, puncturing bull's-eyes on Rifle Club targets, or racking up points for his intramural basketball team. Membership in the Student Council rounds out Bob's activities program. Don't be surprised to read ten years from now some- thing like Dobbie captures National Open or 'Debbie outshines all competitors in winning P. G. A. Championship! BEVERLY JOAN DORSCH Did you see her in French Club? Do you know who the Prop Chairman of the Iunior and Senior Plays was? Surely you have been aware of the hard-working Secretary of Hi- Tri, Club Editor of the MILLW HEEL, and you couldn't have missed those humorous edi- torials in the Millerl There she is, grace- fully making a bull's-eye in archery or ex- pertly shooting a basket in basketball. I'm sure you know her. She's tall, blonde, wistful Bev Dorsch, liked by everyone, and is, as 5Hou can see, a very active member of our c ass. BEVERLY ANN DOWNEY Known as Bev, this friendly girl is active' in the Drama Club and Hi-Tri. One of the knittin fiends of the Senior Class, Bev also befongs to the Knitting Club. In winter she dons a pair of skates and is seen skimming across the ice most anytime. Bev enjoys play- ing the piano and dancing. Many a girl wishes she were as tall as Bev. On her, the new look goes well. Bev plans to go to colle e, but as yet she has not definitely decidbd where. As an extra-curricular ac- tivity she twirls the baton. BARBARA JANE DRUMMOND Drummie may be short, but her winnin smile and friendly HH are noticed around M. H. S. She enjoys sin ing and belongs to the Chorus and Girls' Ciioir. After school you can find her participating in sports or ending a hand on the Math Help Squad. Among her other activities are Hi-Tri and the Drama Club. She is usually seen breezing down the hockey field for a goal, shooting for a point in basketball, or running around bases in softball. Even though she is kept bus with these activities, she has time to think of nursing, a field she plans to enter after graduation. Mi IGF :zo 1535?

Despite an ankle injury, he earned is varsity M in football as a Senior, and has been a member of the track squad for three years. A member of both Hi-Y and Varsity Club, Lynn also belon ed to Physics Club for two years. On cold, clear days Lynn is sure to be somewhere in the great outdoors, probably flashing across the ice with the greatest of ease. PHYLLIS VIRGINIA EASTMEAD Hi, and it's Phyl with the bobbing dark curls, happlly making her way down the lmll. And it's Phyl in clubs, too. She's an active member of the G. A. A., Hi-Tri, and Dramatic Clubs. Remember her as one of the Gay Nineties chorus girls in our Sophomore play? She also adds her clear soprano voice to the Mixed Chorus, and works hard for the Red Cross. In spite of all these activities, Phyl always finds time to add her bit to the fun. All these things, and many others, make her outstanding in the Class of '48 ALFRED ELLIS Al is one of the foremost hunters and fishers of the class. In the fall and winter he is usually loaded down with hunting para- phernalia and may be seen in the woods setting traps or taking the victims from them. To Al, school is a diversion from these activi- ties, as well as a means of learning. Of course, Al is an active member of the Hunting and Fishing Club. lle is also an excellent bowler and may be found burning up the alleys on Tuesday nights with his superb rolling. EDWARD ENG In 1959 a young Chinese boy arrived in Millbum, straight from the ravages of war- torn China. Yes, it was Eddie Eng, the very same Eddie who within the space of nine years attained such eminence in the high school. Through his hard work he has become a key figure in such organizations as Hi-Y, Varsity Club, Band, and Senior Chorus. As Treasurer, Eddie's services proved invaluable to the Class of '48. An ardent champion of the American form of govern- ment, Eddie is living proof that America still is the land of opportunity. nk W Elf' IEAN MERCEDES ENNIS If you are anywhere near the Art Room, watch out for Wink. She spends all her spare time dabbling around in the paint. Besides being Treasurer of the G. A. A., Treasurer of Hi-Tri, and belonging to the Dramatic Club, she can be seen smacking a fast ball on the tennis court or cutting an intricate figure on the ice. When .taking a jaunt in the halls, you will find her with the gang, adding a few witty words now and then. Her fine work in art will lead her into the interesting life of an artist, LILLIAN MIRA EVANS Everything about Lillian is pleasant-her voice, nature, and attitude toward others. Whenever there is ice skating you will be sure to see Lillian there making use of the ice. Her favorite school sport is baseball. Skilled with the needle in both sewing and knitting, she makes nearly all of her own clothes. Lill is ambitious and sticks to a job until it is done and done well. After gradua- tion she plans to enter a. nursing school. We're sure that her sympathetic nature will be of great value. MIRIAM ANNA EVANS One girl with a swell disposition, no temperamental flareups here. No matter who you are, you will always be greeted with a friendly smile and cheery Hella Next to being friendly, her favorite pastime is sing- ing. Having been an active member of the Senior Chorus for the past two years, Miriam has hopes of being a great singer some day. We are all sure that she has a good chance for success in this field. Good luck! ANTOINETTE GRACE FANDETTA Here is the baby of our class. All of her five feet, one inch, is wrapped in a package which seems to have a special charm for both boys and girls. She is always seen with a smile on her face. She is the capable typing chairman of the Miller and is also seen running errands during her office practice period. Aside from these activities she finds time to participate in girls' sports, Hi-Tri and Chorus. After graduation Annie intends to be a private secretary in a business firm. DORIS ANN FANDETTA Doris, our diminutive Hi-Tri President, is one of the most active members of the class. Seen most often hurrying throu h the hall with office practice duties, she stii finds time to spend with Buddy. This brovm-haired girl with the specs is an avid sports fan, and besides this, she is one of the best dressed girls in the Senior Class. A member of Com- mercial and Occupations Forum Clubs, Doris also uses her ability on the typewriter keys to help publish the Miller. She was the secretary of her homeroom for two years. WILLIAM HARD FARRAR Actions speak louder than words is Bill's mottop and he demonstrates its truth repeatedly. As a member of the Visual Aids group he can be counted on to perform with quiet efficiency. When not changing slides or running films for assembly programs and classes, Bill can usually be found working on an old radio, designing a Rube Goldberg gadget to answer the telephone while lying comfortably in bed, or applying his inventive- ness to a similar project. A natural bent for gadgets and a capacity for work mark Bill or success as an electrical engineer. JOHN M. FAULKS Who's that good-natured and athletic- loolcing fellow usually seen accompanied by Pat or scooting about in a green coupe with springs groaning from the weight of a dozen Seniors? Who could it be but lack? Al- though known for his imperturbable non- chalance, lack pursues many interests, among them the Chemistry Club, Hi-Y, Co-Io Club, and Physics Club. A member of the varsity football and baseball squads, lack also proved to be an important part of the scoring depart- ment of the basketball quintet. Iack's straightforwardness and geniality account for his ever-growing popularity and many friends. BETTE CLAIRE FELTER Bette wasn't seen very much in Millburn, the reason being her size. Though tiny physically, Bette was a very active girl. She made herself useful by playing the flute in the Band and the Orchestra. Bette also supported the Dramatic Club and Hi-Tri. Her short, dark hair, coquettish manner, and friendly smile made her well-liked in school. Certainly that bespectacled boy who is known to be her escort is not one to dispute this fact. fi- RUSSELL NORMAN FIELD As Donald in the Senior play, Norm will alwa s be thought of in connection with pickled pigs feet. No matter how busy he is, he always finds time to stop to relate some humorous anecdote. Known to Mr. Esler's physics class and the Physics Club as Russ,' this senior was a physicist extra- ordinary. His extracurricular activities in- clude the Forum Club, Drama Club, and International Relations Club. His friendli- ness and conversational ability will assure him of success in any walk of life and of making a never-ending stream of friends for him. MARVIN SANDFORD FISH Who could forget Marv's superb portrayal of the unforgettable Kolenkhov C Confiden- tially, it steenks! j in You Can't Take It with You ? Who could miss that booming bass harmonizing so perfectl in the Mill- bumaires' double quartet Ctfie same voice which won for him a place in the All-State Chorus three years consecutivelyj? Who has not seen Marvin givin out with his clarinet or handling some probim of high finance for the band? Very few, assuredly, for Marv has established a most enviable record, not only as an actor and musician, but as an honor student as well. MARSHAL KENNETH FISI-IBEIN Marshal can most often be found pursuing his interests in the field of nature. He gained a great deal of varied experience by owning several animals. Marshal hopes to continue the type of work he did in the 4-H Club b eventually delving into the field of scientific agricultural research. For diversion he was a member of the Senior Chorus, the Student Recreation Council, and a diligent art worker. His hobbies will undoubtedly be an asset to Marsh as he prepares to aid nature's growth by scientific processes. RUTH EDITH FORTUNE Rutb's favorite pastime is drivin her new green Dodge around town and usually giving someone a ride. She is known for her friendly manner which the fellows and girls admire. She is Mr. Cherin's very able secretary. Her spare time is spent writing letters and knittin argyle socks. Ruth, besides being talented in makin argyles, is also talented in dramat- ics, for sge E3 ed the comedian in Fireman Save My C ilciiu After graduation she ex- pects to be working as a secretary. ROBERT FRACKENPOHL This scientifically-minded youn man, to be seen in Room 211 after school defving deeper into the mysteries of chemistry, is none other than Bunsen burner Bob. He can easily be identified because he is surrounded by a maze of retorts, flasks, and tubing involved in some complex experiment of his own concoction. Far from having a one-track mind, at one time or another, Bob has been an ardent participant in such widely varied activities as Rifle Club, Physics Club, and Photography Club. In addition, his clear tenor voice has contributed much to the Chorus and Boys' Glee Club during the past year. GINO A. FRATE Having motor trouble? Brakes clon't work? No, don't get a new car. See Gino first. Chances are that Dr. Frate can diagnose the trouble in a matter of seconds. In autoshop Gino usually spends his time discussin the finer points of the new cars or sometiing of a similar technical aspect. In line with his interests in cars, Gino is a gas station attendant in his spare hours. Aside from the mechanical pursuits, Gino is a participant in the Hunting and Fishing Club. MAHLON VAN RENSSELAER FREEMAN One of the more quiet members of the Class of '48, Mahlon is well-known as a trigger-terror on the Rifle team. A rather serious-minded individual, Mahlon's persever- ance and determination earned him a football letter last year. In Varsity Club he remained calm during even the most heated debates, while as a stage technician his competence was hard to match. Despite his reserve, his many friends attest to his readiness to hear or relate a good story. Nlahlon will certainly be remembered to his classmates as one of the most well-rounded personalities of our class. GORDON EDWARD FREUND Gordon's abilities are brought into action in various fields. As the handsome and likable Tony in the Senior Play he really threw him- self into his part. His side interests include Chemistry Club and Physics Club, as well as membership on the MILLXVHEEL Staff. llis chief' hobbies, however, are his camera and his car. lle is most fre uently seen adjusting his ignition system or dhasing about with his trusty camera and spare film box, searching for interesting-looking victims for l7reund's Fotos. FREDERICK F RIEDMAN So round, so lirm, so fully packed -the widely acclaimed Barrel really personilies this slogan. Long to be remembered for his lighting spirit on the gridiron, Fred's por- trayal ol' King llerod in the 1946 Christmas play is also noteworthy. Fred manages to work Art Club, Drama Club, art work for the ANlll.l.XX'lllil'Il., and Varsity Club into a well-rounded schedule. lle received letters for his mana 'crial capacities on the basket- ball and baseiball team of 1947. l7red's good humor and quick wit are indeed a barrel ol' fun. FLORENCE NEVILLE GHERARDI Florence came to us from a school in Canada in the beginning of her Senior year. With her pleasant personality she had no trouble getting into the swing of things here. She joined the French Club and was elected secretary. On Thursday afternoons she's in the girls' g m, playing a good game of basketball for her team as a member of the G. A. A. Tidi's long blond hair and sophis- tication must have been responsible for her many week-ends at various colleges. Thou h she has been with us onl a year, her friendii- ness led quickly to popularity in M. H. S. EDMUND M.

Nat usually kee s the sewing machine, humming as she lbusily creates new styles for herself. After graduat- ing, she is planning to take up a course in Home Economics. Since Nat is conscientious in her work, we know she will make good in whatever she chooses to do. GEORGE HENRY GILL Whether he's singing bass in the Senior Chorus and Boys' Glee Club or expounding his contentions as an active member of the International Relations Club, George has demonstrated that he's one of the most likable and friendly boys in our class. With his wavy blond hair and amicable smile, George rates that look twice attitude from the opposite sex. Among his other interests are the Art Club, Biology Club, and the MILLWHEEL Staff. Although George seems modestly quiet, he has every member of his class as a sincere and loyal friend. IUDITH GOODSTEIN Whether she's mixing chemicals in Chem- istgy Club or singing in the Senior Chorus, Iu y can be counted on to make things lively for every one. Her deep, dark eyes and wavy hair are the envy of many. And what would Hi-Tri be without her witty answers to The ?uestion? Among her other activities are he ping the Spanish Club conjugate verbs and taking part in Dramatic Club activities. If you happen to peek in the girls' gym some- time, the tall forward making that basket is Iudy. Here's hoping she always keeps that swell personality and sense of humor. I. WALLACE GRAHAM Look-up in the sky! what is it-a bird- a plane? No, that's just Timber-topper Graham, sailing through the air with the greatest of ease atop a vaulting pole.

A great outdoorsman to the last, Wally is a great rod and gun enthusiast and a member of the newly-formed Huntin and Fishing Club. Good hunting and good iuck in the future, Wally! SHIRLEY JACKSON GREENE Surely everyone remembers this tall, pretty, brown-haired irl of the Senior Class. You can recognize iier by that friendly grin and that cute, turned-up nose. Very outstanding in art and music, she still found time to be active in Hi-Tri, the French Club, many of the G. A. A. sports, and to contribute ex- cellent ideas to the MILLWHEEL.

Lenny also put forth great effort on the gridiron durin his first three tears of high school. Not ong' is he a reliable asketball player, but also one of the most neatly dressed boys in the Senior Class. Len's diversified interests were shown b his ar- ticipation in the Hunting and Fislliing Cgub, intramural basketball, and the Iunior Drama Club. We hope that Leonard's future work in engineering will prove to be as successful as he has been in Nlillburn High School. JOHN WARREN GUPPY, Ir.

Her work as Alumni Editor of the Miller and as Co- editor of the MILLW1-:EEL has contributed to the reputation of the Senior Class.

ROBERT KENNETH HART, Ir. Friendly and happy-go-lucky, Ken always has a smile on his face for everyone except his football opponents. Once on the rid- iron, he settled down to the business of sharp blocking, tackling, and cool-headed signal- calling as quarterback for the Blue and White eleven.

Ken's care- free spirit was greatly in evidence in the Drama Club and Math Club, while his laugh could be heard ringing through Varsity Club and Hi-Y meetings.

Betty's parents own the Millburn Riding Academy, which accounts for her avid interest in riding. Betty's plans for the future are rather uncertain, but you may be sure that a horse will figure in them somewhere. VINCENT HECK Boys, I've gal to have your dues! As Treasurer, Vince has had the privilege of collecting moneys from the recalcitrant mem- bers of the Senior Class, a task comparable to squeezing blood from a rock. His constant striving for economy has kept the Class of '48 in an enviable state of solvency. A man of diversified interests and skills, Vince dis- plays equal talent at catching impossible passes with gluey fingers from his varsity end position, and at attracting members of the fair sex with his winning ways and great personal magnetism.

A skilled horseman and member of the Essex Troop, Ken has several times demonstrated his adroitness to armory spec- tators. , 'vi wx' 52 FRANCES MARION WILSON That quiet girl you see around school is not a mere shadow. No, that's Fran. She is a cute blonde with short hair that's always getting cut or washed. She is a tireless knitterg indeed our day isn't complete unless we see how that sock is coming along. She be- longs to the Knitting Club, Commercial Club, and is an enthusiastic member of Hi- Tri. Fran's fine disposition and understand- ing nature will make her well liked wherever she goes or whatever she does. She is a willing worker and a swell pal. GLORIA JEAN WIMMER Some people say she's quiet, some say she's not, it depends where and whom she's with, but of course it also depends on who is doing the deciding. She always is willing to lend an eager ear to any conversation at all. The band shall be positively lost without Lorie and her clarinet. She is an active member of Hi-Tri, and also an occupant of the sewing room about the time Knitting Club meets. Her even and pleasant disposition along with an effective commercial knowledge point the way to the realization of her dreams. IEANNE wise Whether it's doing a program cover for the Iunior or Senior plays or designing a stained glass window for Kris Krin le, Ieanne is known for her artistic talents. Aiso lendin her voice to Chorus and writing poems ang stories for the Miller, she proved to be a helping hand everywhere. As a side line Jeanne tickles the keys, sculptures, and designs clothes. Whether she becomes an interior decorator or a dress designer, she will be a big success and we can all be proud to say I knew her when . . . IUDITI-I ANN WOOLLEY Iudy is well-known for her giggle and friendly manner. She was a member of Senior Chorus, and a strong soprano in the special girls' group. Iudy worked on the make-up committee for both our Iunior and Senior plays, and in her Senior year became a loyal member of Hi-Tri and the Rifle Club. These activities, plus teaching Sunday School and belonging to Altman's Fashion Board, kept Iudy busy. To you, Iudy, go our thanks and appreciation for the many things you have so willingly done. Your road of life is certain to be bright, happy, and successful. BRUCE WYCKOFF When his teammates elected Bruce captain of the tennis team last year, they were helping him follow in the footsteps of an illustrious older brother. But Rabbit's steady court play earned him a number one berth on the state championship net squad and a reputa- tion as an ace in his own right. Bruce earned his first letter as a freshman, and has been a three-year member of the Varsity Club. Elected to Hi-Y as a Senior, he was also a member of Chemistry Club. Here's wishing you all kinds of luck in college, Bruce! BARBARA LEE YOUNG All eyes turn as Bobbie walks down the hall. She is that cute girl with blond hair and large bright blue eyes, set off by a turned- up nose covered with freckles. When not with the crowd she is usually writing up girls' sports for the Miller, or rushing to a Hi- Tri meeting. She is also an active member of Sewing Club, G. A. A., Drama Club, and Commercial Club. We must not forget her fine voice, which has brou ht her many an encore, and which no doubt will bring her many more, regardless of what career she may choose to follow. GRIIDUHTIOII A warm Iune night, a stage aglow, An audience hushed and waitingg The organ music soft and low, Young hear.tbeats palpitating. The moments stealing swiftly on, No time for backward glances 5 For Senior eyes are fixed upon A vision that entrances. This long-awaited night is here g We lift our heads in pride.

At eight-thirty the curtains drew back and revealed the result of two and a half months of work under the direction of Miss Yeomans. Who could forget Broadfoot as the stoop-shouldered, baggy-clothed star of Clarence, who was supposed to have been kicked by a mule, thus providing an excuse for the cast on his foot? Clarence soon fell in love with Violet, played 58 by Mary Ann VVittkopg and Iune Bergen and Leslie Rosen complicated matters as the scrappy children, Cora and Bobbie. Supporting roles were played by loan Marquis and Alan Stark, the overtaxed parents, Pat Huntoon and Norman Field, the servantsg Skip Campanella, the grass widower, and Nancy Harrison, the secretary. All in all, the talent which was displayed foreshadowed even greater dramatic accom- plishments. i xii? C jaLe , v Stay in character! This was Miss Dottie D's oft-repeated cry, which seemed impossible to the talented cast ofthe stupendous production 'You Can't Take It with You. Who could forget Pete and Larry's firecrackers going off unexpectedly, Iohnnie's practical jokes UQ, the passionate love scenes by the blushing pair, Gordon and Ioan, and of course the unending hacking around by the two incorrigibles, Huntoon and Bergen, and Klein's piano im- pressions between the scenes? No one could concentrate on lines, diction, or action with all the rioting going on before the footlights. But eventually, out of the bedlam of rehearsals came an unsurpassable performance. A night to remember was November 14, 1947, when at eight-thirty the houselights dimmed, a hush fell over the audience, the curtains opened, and the Class of '48 put across a smash hitl 59 'WS' f UHRIEW Gificd cmd Uuf fke dcam.

Under the direction of Miss Iensen, the Senior Chorus is the largest sin le organization in Millburn High School. Tie main functions of the Chorus are the annual fiprin Concert, background music for the Kris ringie program, and entertainment for P. T. A. meetings, but a great deal of pleasure comes ust from singing with people who enjoy music. The talented girl at the piano was the Presi- dent, Mary Weinert, who has accompanied the chorus for five years. Have you ever wondered who did the enormous job of arranging the Spring Concert? That task was capably taken care of b the Business Manager, Mary Lonergan, and -her assistants, Lorna Walther and Barbara Bodden. The Senior Chorus sings anything from hymns to musical comed favorites, but you may be sure that the numbers are always enjoyable. 7WxecJ Czorufi anal gke Open to any boy in the school, the Boys' Glee Club has been going strong for two years. Their repertoire includes negro spirituals, religious hymns, and comic songs. Among their favorites are Dry Bones, Old Man Noah, and Climb Up, Ye Chill'un. Accompanied by Mary Weinert, the club has become such a fine singing group that they were given the opportunity to appear on the radio, along with several other musical organizations in M. H. S. 71 ri 5 fit IN Did you see those snappy new blue and white military uniforms in which the marching band appeared at all the football games this year? Variety drill performances between halves earned many compliments from Millerites, as well as from visiting spectators. The band not only won distinction at football games, but also participated in a program on radio station WNIR in Newark. The selections included Mr. Wachter's arrangement of You'll Never Walk Alone, numerous marches, and a flute trio. The gala Memorial Day festivities in Millburn marcking ana! The Symphonic Band, under the baton of Chief Wachter, has many outstanding per- formances to its credit. Lilting strains and melodies emanated from the Band Room almost every period, and the reward for all their efforts and hours of rehearsing came to the members with the success of the Eleventh Annual Concert in April. Highlights of the organization's activities were various ensembles which entertained at such local functions as P. T. A. and Rotary Club meetings. Among these were the Brass Quartet, Saxophone Quartet, and Flute Trio, which also Sgmp onic have been made very successful in part by the colorful marching of the band. The M. H. S. Marching Band is one of the most popular organizations of the school, and all the band mambers enjoy the excitement of being a part of this important activity. Their enthusiasm and initiative have enabled this group to maintain its place as one of the state's outstanding bands. The Chief is assisted by Secretary Marion Shaulerg Treasurer Marvin Fishy and Sal Consales, Ioan Bennett, Ed Keller, and Marie Lou Robinson. Kan 4 participated in the school radio broadcast in Ianuary. The Little Theater Orchestra, a small group of selected members, played at the Senior Class Play, and the Dance Band furnished music on Kris Kringle Day. The unique Cherry Blossom Concert in the spring, one of the fine traditions of the Band, was enjoyed by many townspeople. The organ- ization also contributed numbers from its repertoire to many other activities. The Reces- sional at the commencement exercises completed the full program of these music-loving class- mates. CAeerLacler:5 ans!

The club-with its officers, Diane Normandin, Presidentp Marilyn LaLonde, Secretary-Treasurer, and julian Simon, Program Chairman, and its advisor, Mrs. Leef-also spon- sored the Math Help Squad and the Math Contest. ommerciaf The girls of the Commercial Club were certainly lucky this year to have helpful speakers from business and the industrial world to talk on dress, man- ners, and practices used in business. One profitable meeting was the demonstra- tion of a stenotype machine. Miss De- Sessa, the advisor, and the officers- President, Dolores DeBliss, Vice-Presi- dent, Marie Buckleyg Secretary, Claire Pedecine, and Treasurer, Angie O'Cone -charted the course of the club. This year, for the first time, pins were ordered for the members. The Bamberger fashion show, the Christmas party, and the spring picnic were highlights of the club's activities.

O 82 l RTS PRR 'K Wy? W -fyxsw, -9335 QQQS Under the able coaching of Paul Cherin and his assistant, Earl Hillman, Millburn High School's football team came up with one of the most interestin and exciting seasons in the history of our school. Although they were unsuccessful in their defense of the Suburban Conference football title, the Millers came within a hair's breadth of co ping that title for the second straight year. Although their ofiicial record was changed to nine losses on Lanuary 30 when it became known that Ierry Aires, rig t end, had been ineligible, the Millburn eleven actually had a record of five wins and four set- backs. Three of these victories came in conference com- tition to put the Millers in third place, one point Eghind the leaders. Standouts in the backfield this year were co-captains Iim Porter and Connie Schaumberg, and Don Robert- son. Porter ranked third in scoring in Essex County, while Schaumberg, triple threat tailback, was perhaps the steadiest layer on the squad. Robertson, a power- house at fullback, has been elected captain for next ear's team. Tackles Dave Wagner and Charles Doc Bey, along with guard Bill Iemison, stood out in the line. After opening the season with a comparatively easy 25-13 win over Bernardsville, the Blue and White en- countered what was considered by many the best team in the state when they met Westfield. Playing their best game of the year, the Millers fought the Blue Devils to a 13-13 standstill for three quarters, only to lose out in the final period by 27-13. This game was followed by a tilt with arch rival Summit, Millburn winning, 13-6, in the last quarter. A 20-0 victory over Glen Ridge was followed by a heartbreaking 15-13 set- back at the hands of Caldwell, that contest being marked by Porter's 96-yard touchdown dash. Millburn's hard luck continued in the next game as they iled up a 20-0 advantage over Clifford Scott, onl to llose out thirty seconds from the end by a score oty 21-20. The season was rounded out by victories over Roselle Park and Madison, each 13-0, and sandwiched between those two games, a loss to Verona, 20-12. 85 l D KM BMJ gaatefdaf Led by Captain Charles Dey, this year's court s uad tore through all opposition and, upon completion 0? the first half of their schedule, had lost only to Verona in a startling upset. However, eight of the ten victories up to this time have been forfeited due to the fact that erry Aires, star forward, was declared ineligible on anuary 30. The nucleus of the squad was formed by returning lettermen, Charles Dey, Gerald Aires, Don Robertson, and Connie Schaumberg. lack Faulks, Frank Milbauer, Dave Wagner, along with several other newcomers, proved to be valuable additions to this year's aggregation. feet t C ,chi s niff' ,,ipy ' fe 'R' 4 X . Kadedaf Another chapter in the history of MiHburn Hi h School baseball will begin as the 1947 edition of tie Blue and White take to the field.

There are, however, many fine pros ects who will back u P the returning veterans.

The Millers missed only Paul Silbersher from last year's team, and at this writing it appears that they will again cop the championship. With such ace courtsters as Captain Charles Dey, Bruce Wyckofh and Pablo Eisenberg paving the way, with returning lettermen Bob Holmes, Ioel Henkel, Roger King, and Don Schroeder press- ing them, prospects are extremely bright. The Blue and White placed a strong team on the links to defend its conference title as the season opened. Work-ing around the three returning letter- men, Captain Bob Dobbie, Pete Davenport, and Fred Rudolph, the team has high hopes of maintaining its hold on the crown. Last year's foursome finished second in the state tournament, but this year the boys feel strongly that they can finish on top. hlany promising Candidates are fighting to lill the fourth slot on what promises to be one of the best golf teams to represent Millburn High School in years. 89 n f m 90 up 7 ir A .Snark .
