The Class of 1Q41 now belongs, if not to the ages, at least in the memory of the student body. This year book it leaves as a Hnal offering to those with whom it worked and played. ff Classes YZ: Athletics Grganizations Recreation E2 Administration Dedication 'l'he gentleman in the picture responded to his countryis call for service in the first week of January. llowever, it is to him that we dedicate this book, not only because in his four years at Montclair Academy he inade the Dramatic Club the niost popular activity in the school, but also because through his directorial and business skill he gave us the best productions that have cvcr been put on by the Academy. s HOXVARD C. PARKER 9 1 -.- if A MESSAGE A request from the editors of the yearbook for an introductory message signifies that the end of the year is approaching even though at the time it is written there are some inches of snow outside the office window. It hardly seems that another year can have rolled around. They go much too quickly, more quickly with each succeeding date change, I find. To me, personally, the year has been a thoroughly enjoyable one. It has had its difhculties and headaches like any other year, but the net result has been marked by happiness and a sense of progress on the part of both teachers and boys. In the outside world there are wars and rumors of wars and the sky is filled with portents of change-far reaching and profound change. What it all means, no one of us is as yet able to say, but I am confident that the curve of human progress points upward even though there are from time to time sharp and distressing dips occurring in it. Heaven forbid that our country should be involved in another world war, but if it is I know that Academy boys will give the same splendid and heroic account of themselves which they did in the last great struggle. Wliatcver lies ahead, it is clear to me that those who will be best prepared to meet it will be those who have trained, readily adaptable and open minds, those who have been taught to think things through, to see them clearly, and to see them whole. To the editors of the yearbook and the others who have helped to make it a success I offer my sincere thanks and appreciation. It is a more difficult task than is commonly realized by those who enjoy the fruits thereof. Lack of appreciation is a human failing, but you who have helped have gotten from your labors a training and a sense of accomplishment which will stand you in good stead. I wonder how many of the boys who attend this school or who are graduated from it could quote accurately its motto? Very few, I imagine, and it may interest you to know that it is, as a matter of fact, two Greek words-Aien Apieteyein. These words mean Never to seek the best. To that purpose the school has devoted itself for the past fifty-three years and will steadily continue to do so. For your cordial cooperation I sincerely thank you in the name of all vour teachers and express to you our heartfelt good wishes. March, 1941 ll ASSOCIATE IIEADMASTIER II.

'l 'hc main body of the Varsity football team was made up, naturally, of seniorsg but three members of the Varsity also obtained parts in the Christmas play. Another member of the squad was elected President of the Rostrum for the second semester. In the cast of the play were seven seniors with several more on the stage crew. The class was well represented on both the Oe'1'oPUs and News staffs. Nor was it found wanting from the scholastic viewpoint, since ten of its members comprised an English Ilonors Course, doing advanced work in Shakespeare with Nr. Barras. 17 ,ffl Qu Kg DAVID GRAIIAM BAIRD, Iunior Your-Forum, English Honors Course, Tennis, Golf, lfrcnch Ilonors Course.

From that time on, the members of the lunior Class have played an important part in school life. They have loyally supported all Academy teams, diligently per- formed their part in editing the school publications. and done their share in supporting the various societies and clubs, as well as maintained a fine scho- lastic record. Many members of the Class of 742 gave their all to stiffen the varsity foot- ball team's defenses against their more ,as successful opponentsg several received 1. 1 ,L , their major lNl s. Although the team had an unfortunate season this year, we expect to do much better next year with the help of these experienced players. The Iuniors had their part also in hockey and basketballg and we are sure that next year's teams will greatly ben- efit by the experience received by the juniors of '41, 'l'he varsity track and baseball squads were also loyally supported by Iuniors. The Class of '42 played its part in the administration of the Rostrum, Forum, Red and Black Society, Dramatic Club, and the other clubs, helping greatly in furthering these societies. Many Inn- iors were on the staff of The Montclair News and the Oe'roPUs. These boys contributed much in editing these school publications by their diligent work and sense of responsibility. Seholastically, the Class of 742 has made a fine showing. Throughout the year there have been from three to five juniors consistently on the Honor Roll. The class has given a praiseworthy per- formanceg that its members will make a creditable group of Seniors next year is certain. A certain few of the year's features are Kip's nearfhumor, Stretch's silent presence, Clifford's noisy one, Smith acting as master of smoking room ceremonies, Brown getting ads. Nicol being The President and Vice-President shy. Shearer getting his assignments the first time, Ritchie's activities in Newark . . . 36 W Mi SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY This year's Sophomore Class was comprised of both intellectual and athletic boys who have added greatly to extra-curricular and sports activities at Montclair Academy. A great number of sophomores have been consistently on the Honor Roll, and one or two names have appeared on the High Honor list, thus giving the class a very commendable scholastic record. A large part of the success of Iunior Varsity and Third Team football, basketball, and baseball is due to the fine athletic ability of many of the sophomores. On the hockey, volleyball, and track teams numerous members of this class gave creditable performances, and actually proved valuable assets. It is a noteworthy honor to the class to have several of its members awarded varsity letters in different fields. This year in particular the sophomores contributed some of their talent to The Montclair News and Tins CDCTOPUS. The Thursday afternoon clubs were also well supported by them. As a whole, this group of boys participated enthusiastically in all extra-curricular activities, and the influence they exercised has been found a con- structive one. The maintenance of their present standards will make them a credit to the school. 22 V s ,,,,,mM !Z. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY VV ith about seven new members the Freshman Class has participated this year in all lines of athletics and extra-curricular activities. Some members took part in Fourth or Third Team football b lc b l ' , as et al, or base- ball. A large number bowled with the Bowling league every Tuesday afternoon. On Thursday afternoon every member of the Freshman Class went regularly to one of the many clubs which were managed by various masters. The Science, Rifle, Camera, Model, Book, and Gym Clubs, and the orchestra, all counted freshmen amon th ' g cir supporters. Although most sports-ininded freshmen won Fourth Team letters, all those who particinated ' Tl ' d ' ' 1 in nr Team sports gave a good account of themselves and are now wearing Third Team emblems. Th 1 crecita e work in the scholastic line as well as in sports. A number of freshmen regularly made the Honor Roll, to uphold continually the standing of the class, while the rest of the group maintained a good level of yy orly XV' l ' '. iti the aid of the competent new material tl Cl f ' ' ' ' ie ass o 1944 has been and will continue to be a successful one. e Freshman Class has throughout the vear done l' bl 39 W l SUB-FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY For the Sub-Freshman Class this was a profitable year. As a whole it could claim a bright future, with all its members eager participants in Upper School life in all thc widespread activities which were offered. XVhen the first call for fall athletics was given, nearly the entire class turned out for Fourth Team football, and, well coached by Mr. Allen, the team had a fairly successful season. Those who did not play on the Fourth Team found amusement in games of touch-football. Basketball was also well received by the class, since a large number turned out for the Third and Fourth Teams. A considerable group also took part in extra-curricular activities. At the time of the Christmas play several sub-freshmen sold advertisements for the program, while others took a large part in promoting thc sale of tickets. Nearly the entire class participated in the various clubs sponsored by different masters during the week and appreciably aided their success. Though it lays no claim to any high degree of scholastic ability, the Sub-Fresh- man Class was a successful one, and had its share of Honor students each month, several members were consistently on the list. A commendable school spirit was a prevailing characteristic of the class. VVitl1 such spirit and such ability it should establish a record of which Montclair Academy will be proud. 40 AT WORK mm' PLAY HE GATHERED THE CHILDREN THAT HE MIGHT INSTRUCT THEM S. S. S. OR S. O.

A. football team was seen in action on the school field, opening the season against the new rival from Brooklyn. Although the Red and Black's line held, Adelpl1i's seasoned passing attack resulted in three touch- downs. The visitors, completely outplayed in the first half, trailed 6-o as a result of a fine run by Captain Mel Van Sant aided by great blocking. The second half, how- ever, saw the Adelphi warriors turn tl1e tables, despite the very able playing of Cos- grove, Scheuermann, and Griswold. NEVVARK 18 - MONTCLAIR 7 Although our team went to Newark with high hopes of beating a11 already well- defeated team, they were set back, 18-7. The Newarkers appeared superior through- out, though two of their scores were accounted for by two badly executed plays on the part of Montclair. Throughout the game Dick Culick played splendidly, but to little avail. M. A. scored in the last minute of play on a pass fron1 Christie to Dwyer. The same combination, reversed, gained the extra point. NEWMAN o - MONTCLAIR 27 After journeying down to Lakewood, the Montclair team crashed through with what later proved to be its only victory of an unfortunate and disheartening season. The far inferior Newman team made few serious threats and, before the game was over, coaches Goodrich and Dox were able to send in every 111an on the bench. Mursch, Al Richardson, Soinie Ritchie, and Christie, all accounted for touchdowns in the 27-O fray. STONY BROOK 7 - MONTCLAIR o For the third successive week our boys played 011 a foreign field, this time at Long Island, where they ended up on the short side of a 7-o score. Once again it was the story of a Montclair superiority in the first l1alf, but a relapse in the last two periods. Twice our boys had 'Lgoal-to-go. However, they failed to take advantage of this situation. Late in tl1e third quarter the home i'CHIl1 scored on a pass deep over center. The good playing of Al Richardson, Mursch, Culick, and Van Sant was outstanding. RUTCERS PREP 14 -- MONTCLAIR 6 For three periods, Rutgers held the odds over the Academy team, scoring seven points in the first half on a forward pass from our go-yard line. The other Rutgers score came in the third period, WIICII the heavy, fast-charging line broke through our defense to block Parker's kick and carry the ball to a touchdown. Again tl1e place kick for the extra point was good. In the last moments of tl1e game the Red and Black, rallying under Van Sant, beat its way steadily down the field from its own twenty, finally to score a goal on a line buck from the one-yard line. The try for the extra poi11t failed. 50 J MORRISTOWN IQ - MONTCLAIR 6 Paced by its stellar backs and hard-charging line, the visiting Morristown team conquered our Academy boys, 19-6. Outplayed from the start, our team trailed behind with a 190 score at the half. However, after keeping the Morristown aggre- gation from further scoring, the Red and Black team came through with a typical Academy finish by completing a long pass from Van Sant to Mursch for a score. Bob Cosgrove as well as Mel and Ray played outstanding football for M. A. in this game. PINGRY 6 - MONTCLAIR o M. A. ended its season by losing a hard fought game to Pingry. Throughout most of the first half Montclair kept the ball deep in Pingry territory, but seemed to lack the scoring punch. The strength of our defense was demonstrated by the fact that Pingry made no score until in the fourth period they marched 85 yards to a touchdown. Despite a last-minute barrage of passes, M. A. did not score. Creditable ball was played by Van Sant, Culick, Christie, Hartenstine, and Richardson. THIRD TEAM FOOTBALL The 'Third Team, coached by Mr. Billhardt, enjoyed a fairly successful season with three victories and three losses. The team opened its season by overpowering Pingry, 18 to o. In the next game the Third Team out-played and out-fought a more powerful Rutgers Prep eleven but lost by a disappointing 12 to 6. Then Car- teret invaded the Academy Held and went home with a 140 victory. In this game one of the co-captains, Al Danforth, was injured for the game as well as the rest of the season. A new spirit was present in the team after this injury, for it went on to win two of its last three games. It beat Newark, 15 to 6, lost to Carteret, 12 to 7, and wound up the season by trouncing Pingry, 33 to o. Although the tea111 was not victorious in all its games, the season was a good one. The members of the squad are as follows: Olcott and Danforth, co-captains, Matthews, Dietze, Downes, Donan, Duys, Phil johnson, Emerson, R. Brown, Sweeney, jack Purvis, Paul Miller, Syman- ski, and Northup, with Ash as manager. FOURTH TEAM FOOTBALL The Fourth Team opened its season the second week in October against Car- teret, where it displayed real midseason form by a 270 victory. However. as the season progressed they failed to come up to the promising performance in the Car- teret game, succumbing to Newark, 12-6 and 120, and Lady of the Lake, 130. On Election Day they conquered the Lower School before a large Fathers' Day crowd by a 21-6 score. The team was coached by Mr. Allen and captained by jerry Young- man. The squad consisted of Bethell, Ed Brown, Costikyan, Barry Cutting, Castle, Grant, Hanau, Harrison, Hurley, Iennison, Maxon, Pete Purvis, Smith, Sinsabaugh, Tietje, Van VVinkle, and Waterman, with Betz as manager. 51 BASKETBALL 'l'his year's basketball team, though it l1ad a poor season, was comprised of good but inexperienced material. 'l'he misfortunes suffered by the team should be laid to the fact that Coach Billhardt had but two returning lettermen, Captain Cosgrove and Christie. However, the team did some splendid playing. Doug Richardson at center proved the 111ost reliable man 011 the squad. Forwards Van Sant, Stanton, and XX'7iHPC11l1f', all had several good days, each scoring 12-18 points at different times. VVith six lCtfCfl11Cll return- ing, next ycar's outlook seems brighter than this ycar's. The mem- bers of the team were as follows: Sta11ton, Cosgrove, Van Sant, XVinpenny, Mursch, and Ioerg, forwards, Emerson, Iacobs, Christie, and Parker. guards, and Doug Richardson, center. '1'he Iunior Var- sity did not meet with any signal success, but won two out of its nine games. THE BASKETBALL SCHEDULE A I .A. Opp. 22 .... .........

TwJ ' ...M- BASEBALL As this page goes to press, there is reason to hope for a very successful season in that great spring sport, baseball. Never in the past four years has M. A. had such good prospects and signs of an outstanding ball club as it has this year, for five regulars on the 1940 squad are returning. The greatest power will probably be shown in the infield where Scheuermann, Captain Dwyer, Emerson, and either Hamilton or Christie, have their positions all but clinched. The prospects for the backstop job are fairly bright with Van Sant and Franks expected to carry the burden. Coach Van Brunt is especially enthusi- astic about one or two members of his surprisingly good mound staff. Mursch, Fuller, Vander May, and Discorfano are the twirlers expected to see action. There is an unusually large number of outfield candidates, and from this group, although it is mostly inexperienced, the coach will be able to pick up some good flychasers. Charlesworth, Eisen, Cosgrove, Iacobs, Parker, Sanborne, Hofmann, and Olcott will be fighting to win varsity berths. The team is expected to show more batting power than last year's club, which won only two games. The lack of batting power was present in all the defeats. There are some great prospects on this yearls team and M. A. supporters are looking forward to a successful campaign on the diamond. 54 HOCKEY After opening its season with a victory over the Essex Fells Comanches in a practice game, the Academy Hockey Team went through the rest of its schedule without another triumph, and but one tie. Having lost an entire team by graduation last year, Coach Goodrich and Captain Somers Ritchie were handicapped from the beginning by a lack of good material. Most of the members of this year's squad were Iuniors and Sophomores, but the experience re- ceived by these boys will prove valuable in turning out a winning team next year, Another factor to be considered in judging this team is that, because of a lack of proper facilities, there were only one or two organized practice sessions. In spite of these handicaps, however, there were several close games, the powerful Hun School squad subdued our team by one goal after a close game. The Ritchie brothers, Hastings, and Horn played outstanding hockey, and should be congratulated for their fine work. lim and Somers Ritchie, Patton, and Cutting scored all the goals for the Red and Black in the regular games. The other members of the team were Holmes, Charlesworth, Sylvester, Duys, Hickman, and Donan. Gilman and Decker were manager and assistant manager respectively. The schedule, including practice games with Essex Fells, is as follows: M .A. vs. Opp. 4 ........ .....,.. E ssex Fells .................... 3 2 ..... ........

Coach Goodrich has Five returning lettermen in Captain Brett, Dodd, Holmes, Stretch, and Horn. Hank Horn is expected to reach his stride this season in the mile and 880. The team seems especially well fortiiied in the weight division with Hamilton, Wade, Van Sant, and Lamb. The jumping will probably be done by Holmes, Miller, Hamilton, and Prescott. Dodd, Stretch, Stanton, Von Bergen. and Horn are counted on to score a goodly number of points in the pole vault. The weakness of the team seems to be in the running events. However, if Brett, Lawes, Lewis, Hastings, Franks, Bierman, and Silvcrback will make out as well as antici, pated, a good season can be expected. Other candidates expected to contribute materially include Guthrie, Kimm, VVilliamson, Cardam, Clifford, Hickman, Soria, and Mursch. Keebler is the manager. 56 TENNIS As these words are being written, no tennis matches have been scheduled. But the team expects to ,play against its traditional rivals: Carteret School, Pingry School, Poly Prep, Adelphi, and possibly Morristown School and Bloomfield High. Although Captain Charles Holmes is the only letterman left from last year's team, the prospects for this year's aggregation, under the tutelage of Mr. Charles K. Swan, are by no means discouraging. For Ted Winpenny, Charles Hartenstine, and George Black are experienced netmen, and Bob Miller, from last year's Iunior Var- sity, is available. In addition, several other Iuniors and Seniors have announced their intention of trying out for the team. Students can look forward to a better- than-fair record from the M. A. racquet-wielders. 57 This year saw in operation a new policy of electing members to the Athletic Association. As usual there were two senior representatives and one junior member. However, election was by the two upper forms rather than by the entire student body, as in previous years. Those elected were George Buttel, Mel Van Sant, and Charles Stretch. The Council consists of six members-three faculty members and three students-whose function is to ratify or amend, if necessary, the lists of athletic awards drawn up by thc coaches and managers of the numerous athletic activities during the year. . The Association met first in December and again in March, it was at these times that all letters were awarded. A third meeting is scheduled for May. The faculty members were Dr. Head, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Goodrich, with Mr. Hunter as adviser. 58 I 5 7 'Q 1 1 ff -ni ,dai I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I ACTIVITIES f -1- -3, Sli 4-as THE STUDENT COUNCIL Organized some years ago at the request of the student body, the Student Council has become an integral part of school life. This group, which meets weekly with Dr. Head and Mr. Hunter, is composed of ten students, three each from the sophomore and junior classes and four from the senior class. Acting as a medium between faculty and students, the Council has often proved its value in straightening out difficulties which arise concerning school life, athletics, or clubs. The Council has ably conducted many charitable drives and made arrangements for several dances, in addition to taking charge of Assembly once a week and directing fire drills. The members, elected by the students themselves, always have the interests of their fellow students and of the school itself at heart, and do their best to remedy all existing difficulties concerning school life. This year's Student Council was composed of Charles Holmes, president, Ted Olcott, secretary, and Iames Tompkins, George Buttel, Richard Charlesworth, Phelps Kip, Robert Clifford, VVilliam O'Gorman, Robert Northup, members-at large. 62 THE MONTCLAIR NEWS The Hottentotw Wins by Two Lengths! On the nights of December zo and 21, 1940, the seismo- graph at Harvard University re- corded unusual disturbances in the vicinity of Upper Mont- clair. To what could these rumblings be attributed? Was a new volcano spewing forth the fires of Hell? Were the monsters of the Lower VVorld lighting the battle of the ages? Alas, every solution was wrong, for the real answer was known to a mere 1 goo people. It was their laughing and applause emanating from the Upper Montclair Women's Club at the SCVCl1tl1 annual production of the Kimberley - Academy Dramatic Club that had rocked the earth in this strange man- ner. At this time they were witnessing one of the most hi- larious and exciting shows that 4-have ever been presented by these schools. The Hottentotn lived up to every promise that its coach, Mr. Parker, had announced, and, indeed, exceeded each by far. Credit is not alo11e due to Mr. Parker, but also to a very able cast. Lewis Townsend, who is whispered about as be- ing a second Iohn Barrymore, portrayed the role of Sam Har- rington with so 1nucl1 gusto and thespian skill that he ranks among tl1e 111ost outstanding of the great profiles of Mont- clair Academy's dramatic ar- chives. Combined with Lewis among the ranking talent was Big Ben Hamilton, who with all his six feet five inches ably performed the difficult charac- ter portrayal of Swift, the be- fuddled butler. These two with their skillful interpretations of comedy kept the audience in a perpetual state of reclination in the aisles. All the orchids, however, do not go to the 111ale members of tl1e cast. Mary Caldwell, who played opposite Lewis, was notable in her ren- dition of Peggy Fairfax. Enid Griswold as the madcap sophis- ticated vamp and Hannah Bowman as the enduring gen- tleman-farmer's wife ably rep- resented the Kimberley talent. Excellent performances were also attributed to Dick Culick as the horsy playboy, Phelps Kip as a disappointed lover, XV. I. Brown as the gentleman- farmer, and Fritz von Bergen as a Scotch groom, Tom Cuth- rie as the moronic conquest of the vamp's endeavors, and to Fred Griswold. The Hotten- tot had the novel innovation of two sets whose skillful con- struction was credited to Nel- son Lawes and multitude. The plot of The Hotten- tot was a combination of sane 65 and insane situations. To a house party in the horse-mad regions of New York comes Sam Harrington, who everyone believes is a great steeplechase rider of the same name. In reality Sam harbors a fear of horses that resulted from a bad fall. At the party he is re1111ited with Peggy Fairfax, his one love, whose hand is being sought by Larry Crawford. In an attempt to overcome his complex Sam is badly thrown by the ill-fated horse, The Hot- tentot. He is at last persuaded to ride Peggyis horse in a stee- plechase. Swift, knowing that Sam is not a great rider, tries to save the situation by success- fully making Peggy's horse un- fit for the race. In an attempt to redeem himself with Peggy, Sam purchases The Hottentot and rides this fractions beast in the race in Peggy's colors. After a thrilling racing scene result- ing in the eventual victory of The Hottentot, Sam and Peggy pledge their love. For sheer comedy, for acting skill that raises comment from all, and for mutual enjoyment of everyone including the cast, The Hottentot ranks with- out a peer among the Kimber- lcy-Academy Dramatic Club productions.

GLEE CLUB As in former years, the Clee Club, under the able di- rection of Mr. Iaillet, made its contribution in 1941 to the activities and achievements of the school. Because of the small number of boys who came out for the organization in the early fall, Mr. Iaillet found only enough talent for a double quartet. Many valuable afternoons were spent by the director and his students in rehearsing for the Christmas appearance of the group. As always the work went slowlyg as always Mr. Iaillet became annoyed at the sound of voices off-pitch. However, with remarkable speed and skill, the group was made ready for its Christmas presentation. 'l'he Hrst night of the Academy-Kimberley Play, 'lThe Ilottcntotf' each member arrived at the hall, with hair in place and tuxedo carefully brushed, in preparation for the big moment. After the first act, the group and their director made their way to the stage. 'I'he doors closed, the lights dimmed, the crowd became silent. At the down-beat of Mr. Iaillct came forth the music of an old French carol, A'Bring a Torch Ieanette Isabella. This was fol- lowed by The Slumber Song of the Child Iesus, by F. A. Gevaert, and then, by 'fliight Bells, by Bartholomew. The second evening the double quartet again showed its ability by rendering, without mistake and with excellent tone, the same selections as given the night before. To their director, Mr. Iaillct, goes great credit. Although he had a full schedule, and was teaching French every afternoon, he found time to train these boys. To the group also recognition is due, for the excellent contribution that they made in behalf of the school. The members and alternates were as follows: First Tenor, Mackay, Second Tenor, T. Hayford, B. Cornish, P. Iohnsong First Bass, H, Kimm, R, Millcrg G. Mcnzcl, Alternate, Second Bass, F. Cris- wold, Prescott, D. Caldwell, Alternate, Allen, Accompanist. 66 DEBATING The annual lnterscholastic Triangular Debate between Montclair Academy, Mor- l ' ristown School, and The Pingry School was rather hampered this year by the withdrawal of Morristown and a raging snow storm the night of the debate. However. in spite of the storm the total attendance was nearly fifty persons. The subject debated by the two i schools, Montclair Academy and Pingry, was Resolved, That the interests of the United l States will be best served by refraining from armed intervention in the far East. This a subject proved to be a very interesting one, especially since at the time of the debate America's relations with japan had reached a particularly critical point. Our affirmative team, which was comprised of Thomas Guthrie, Charles Holmes, and Howard Kimm as alternate, debated the Pingry negative team at Mont- clair Academy. The negative team, consisting of Bruce Cornish, Iames Tompkins, and David Lewis as alternate, debated the Pingry afhrmativc team at Pingry. Both of the Montclair teams succeeded in defeating the opposing teams, al- though one of the Pingry alternates made an excellent rebuttal speech. This was the sixth victory for Montclair Academy in the triangular series. Neither of the other two schools have succeeded in approaching this record. Although Mr. Barras, the coach of the team, was not able to be present at the first few rehearsals, his work was nevertheless a prominent factor in the success of the team this year. XVhile speaking in assembly on the subject of the debate, Mr. Rarras stated that never before in the history of debating at Montclair Academy had any team gained victory with so little coaching. 67 I EDITORIAL STAFF Eclitorhin-Chief Licwrs 'l'owNsFNn Advertising Manager Soxmizs Rrrcrrn: Sports Editor DAX'II7 BRETT Photography Editor FRED XXIILLIAIXISON Assistant Editors Advertising S tat?

Downs Foltz Hamilton Kessler Lawes Lewis R. Miller Oleott Tompkins Vail NVeeks WVeycr THE ROSTRUM SOCIETY The Rostrum Society has continued its speaking and debating activities during the past year. The fact that five members of the lnterscholastic Debating Team belong to the Rostrum is a significant witness to the talent which exists in that society. Debates and impromptu speeches made up many of the programs, but talks were given by members of the faculty from time to time. Mr. Miller added another year to his long period as faculty adviser. During the initiation season, the familiar lusty call 'fDog! was as usual heard from all sides. Even though several dogs attempted to hide their flaming red bow ties under sweaters, the fluttering, ribbony cloths were always in evidence. The appearance of hefty red paddles marked another stage in the introduction of new members to the society. Finally the entire student body was assailed one day by garlic fumes which outdid in volume and wilting ability the hydrogen sulphide gas which Mr. Miller's chemistry students are so fond of making. These fumes were produced by new Rostrum members initiated the day before, the customary novel sandwiches having rounded out the paddling. The Rostrum engaged in various athletic contests with the Forum and had moderate success. One afternoon the entire field was appropriated for a touch foot- ball game. Basketball and volleyball contests followed. The animal Rostrum-Forum dance, scheduled for April 4th, had to be postponed because of the measles epidemic during Marcli. First Term President, CHARLES l'IO'I.INIES Second Term President, SOMERS RITCHIE 70 THE FORUM SOCIETY The past year has been a very successful one for the Forum. Every member had a change to make one or two prepared speeches, as well as several impromptu ones. Along with the debates that were held, there were a number of informal dis- cussions in which every member took an active part. Many an interesting and educational afternoon was spent at the meetings in the room of our able advisor, hflr. Claude lWonson. The Forum excelled on the athletic field this year. In a hard-fought battle the Rostrum bowed to our touch football team, though the margin of victory was only one point. It is expected that before the end of the school year the two societies will meet on the volleyball and basketball courts. Although nine Forum members graduate this year, there arc eleven sophomores and juniors to maintain the standards of the society. Those who are going to college will always look back upon their days in the Forum as being among the most inter- esting and enjoyable of their experiences at Montclair Academy. First Term President, FTWIIOIXIAS CUTHRIL1 Second Term President, DAVID BRETT 7 1 RED mm' The Red and Black Society, again under the guidance of Mr. H. Hunter, entered its second year with a membership of three seniors, inducted last year as juniors: President Guthrie, Secretary lflolmes, and Cornish. The election of new members to the society began in October with the induction of Townsend: with each succeeding month the membership was increased. XVhen the Oe'roPUs went to press, four seniors besides Townsend, and one junior, had joined, the seniors were Ritchie, XVilliamson, V on Bergen, and Tompkins, and the junior, Charleswortli. Three seniors and a like number of juniors had yet to be elected. Although the society has maintained its fundamental policy of awarding memf bership for scholastic and honorary attainments only, numerous outstanding changes were made in the requirements for election, and a new system of points took effect in March covering all fields of non-athletic activity. This new system is recognized among the members as a very definite improvement over the old one, since it operates with broader scope and exercises greater fairness. VVhereas the old system awarded points largely by single activities and positions, according to the new arrangement, the various phases of extra-curricular activity are grouped and at the same time accounted for in all their branches. Consideration of the number of years spent in an organi- zation has been dropped from the list. However, the same organizations and activities as last year are listed. These include memberships or positions on the Oeiovus, the News, the Dramatic Club, Clce Club, Student Council, Orchestra, Debating Team, Rostrum and Forum Societies, and class otiiees. The purely recrea- tional weekly clubs, of course, are as usual not considered. Despite its recent inception, the Red and Black Society has already become an influential group respected by the students. It embodies a spirit typical of the best in Montclair Academy and fully deserves thc prestige it has rapidly gained under the wise leadership of Nr. llunter. 72 BLACK SDCIETY CLUBS This past year the clubs have enjoyed an increased membership of boys eager to take advantage of the instruction otfered by our talented faculty. Several new clubs appeared to take the place of those in which interest was lagging. Naturally, The Rifle Club was continued. The demand for opportunities to shoot was so great that both Mr. Monson and Mr. Iaillct were needed to supervise the artillery-minded lads, such as Purvis, who owned the best rifle and made the lowest scores. Another club that has improved is the Orchestra. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Swan, A'Krupa Storey, t'Dorseyl' Nicol, '4Heifetz Townsend, and other minstrels cut loose regularly every Monday afternoon. An old stand-by, the Stamp Club, was also con- tinued by our genial postmaster, Mr. jaillet. A Book Club was successfully launched this year with Mr. Barras at its helm. Weekly chairmen were appointed whose duties were to report on books and lead the discussion of different works which the members of the club had read. Some- what along the same lines was the journalism Club, which Mr. Collins managed. This club fitted right in with work on The Montclair News, and its members learned the tine art of news-gathering, organization, and eflicient set-up from a man who knows his business. Keebler and Lewis, outstanding in this club, ought to be ready to produce a fine newspaper next year. The Yacht Club, under the direction of Commodore Allen, had a season Hlled with action. Mr. Goodrich was kept busy with his club in model-building and metal work. Those boys who were interested in the subject did a large amount of worth-while construction. Extensive plans for the Camera Club were worked out to a line degree by Mr. Howes, who saw to it that his club was kept just as busy as the busiest. Sadri and Von Bergen were always taking pictures, but why didn't we ever see the fruit of their labor? A Movie Club was organized by Mr. Vail in study hall which showed pictures to those boys who had no other special interests. A large group of younger boys who joined the Science Club to supplement their course in General Science certainly kept Mr. Miller busily occupied. VVhenever there was a major explosion, Bethell was always on the job finding out how to do it again. In addition to that, however, about half a dozen chemistry students interested in qualitative analysis served to keep their interesting instructor quite alert. 'AVVild VValt Freygang, Explosion Horn, A'0bserver Lamb, and Ace Silverbach were asked at least once a week by Mr. Miller, Well, what do you think of that? Art appreciation was stressed by Mr. Wood in the Art Club. Mr. Smith taught the members of his Chess and Checkers Club the way to play those two fascinating games. And finally. under the competent coaching of Mr. Billhardt. the Athletic Club offered instruction in boxing and wrestling. DIRECTORY Adair, Thomas Howard .............
