' The Character of Its Boys We the stay? of Yearbook 77 have endeavored to portray the character of a school by examining its students as John Dos Passos, in his trilogy U.S.A., attempted to describe the temperament of a nation by examining its people. We have imitated Dos Passos' objective Newsreel which is contrasted by his subjective, illustrative Camera Eye in order to introduce the various components of our school. The faculty and seniors parallel the distinguished leaders of a nation, and their articles recapture the static, realistic character of the U.S.A. biographies. Believing that each faculty member is more often associated with his interests than his position, we have placed the teachers' biographies in accordance with their relationship to aspects of the school. Montclair Academy is a building at the crest of Bloomfield Avenue. Montclair Academy is a staircase leading to a classroom, to the locker room, to a conference with the headmaster. Montclair Academy is a conhdent senior who has matured from an apprehensive seventh grader.

Mr. Hemmeter My name is Hemmeter. I am a history not quite. True, through penetrating discussions spurred by his vibrant personality Robert C. Hemmeter has brought to life American History, in particular, and all history in general. but thatls not enough. He has planned and led trips and excursions. He has written musical plays. He has become one of us. Mr. Nugent To most of the Seniors the word math means Mr. Nugent from algebra to trigonometry, the mathematical concepts that confused even the most astute students, he put into understandable order. he is a man with whom you can joke or talk. he is a man who understood us at times when we most needed to be understood. Mr. Nugent is not a master, he is a teacher. 13 r. i 1? Q 2131 E Bruce Anderson Bruce is .highly skilled and unusually talented as a writer. he initiated the literary magazine, The Spectrum, and was its editor-in-chief. he understands a book or a poem he understands people better he is perceptive and patient, ambitious and unassuming. But, mostly he is a classmate whom we honor. John Benigno A Hamlet enveloped in his own sphere of semi-reality, John is trying constantly to grasp the answer to some evasive question. On the soccer field or in the Glee Club he embodies a unique enthusiasm for personal achievement. Struggling equally with the complexities of Academy homework and with his camera shutter, John is meticulous and often discouraged. With a shrug of his shoulders, John dismisses all that pesters him, but in all resolves John Benigno is quietly sincere. Fred Broadfoot Accepting all dares, Fred is devoted to pseudo- individualism. As a dissenter and universal critic, he forms his own opinions but often confuses others in a labyrinth of explanation. While he assumes the role of stage manager for the K-A play, he reveals industry and an unexpected sense of humor. On the athletic field Fiercesome Fred distinguishes himself as an aggressive tackle, and also displays his determination on the wrestling mats. Under his rough individualism Fred is an idealist searching for an ideal. 'Nt x za x. XLX 'N X Q J , vip XQXI 'QL NJ!

The great thing about him is that he has the power to share his thoughts with others. he is editor-in-chief of the newspaper he is a student advisor to the Student council he is President of The Red and Black Society he is a Letter of Commendation winner of the National Merit Foundation Jay has a biting wit, a wit that is both endearing and infuriating but fortunately he is constructive in his thoughts, criticism and actions. Mike Donnelly With a burning desire and enormous ability, Mike Donnelly is the leader of the senior class not an orator, but a President not aehero, but an Athlete not a scholar, but a Student A fiery competitor, Mike displays his versatility athletically and academically he is captain of the basketball team and a consistent honor roll student With a warm personality and congenial smile, Mike Donnelly is everyoneis best friend. Bob Eliezer Though a serious atmosphere evolves from his studious attitude, Bob Eliezer is a content realist, aware of the world's tribulations. yet unaffected by its trivialities. His varied talents have made him wrestling captain and football standout, an accomplished student and business manager of Yearbook 77 Incongruous with his school interests lies his passion for Pontiacs and Chevrolets With his casual conservatism, but hidden determination Bob Eliezer is, as once called, the model Academy student . jp' -' H ZGM iffwwd' fafwda nw ff7 WvCVf4'M'n' Wwfzf - JMU 5272 WM Jim Katz Jim needs only a hand microphone to complete his personification of the fast talking, candid, and forward sports announcer. Jim establishes the odds for all school events and expresses himself without reservation. he is as poised on the basketball court as he is in conversation. Would there be a Jim Katz if sports did not exist? No! Jim is the quick, composed, and sincere sportsman-Always. Will Kuhlmcmn Reserved is the usual mood in which one finds Will but frequent bursts of enthusiasm make this character anything but static. He participates in three Varsity sports alternating from soccer goalie, to basketball and finally to baseball-as the seasons progress. Tall and lean and quiet would describe his outward appearance, but Will cannot be measured by these factors alone, for his concern for teammates and friends is a trait which exceeds all others. Bill Lax Bill can always be found in the midst of frantic attempts to meet Press Club deadlines. His disposition lies in extremes of despair and elation, but even in despair, Bill finds life quite comical, laughing at tragedy as well as elephant jokes. He is not a person who easily rejects a dare or abandons a challenge and sudden spurts of energy on the soccer field attest to his unrelenting spirit. 4 Dave Levin Dave is Montclair Academy's quiz kid. his encyclopedic knowledge is complemented by his sports ability. He received a Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Foundation also, he's captain of the golf team Che has an automatic swing, tool he's a deceptive dribbler in soccer. Dave's laconic. If a question need only require a yes or no answer . . . that's all he answers. Dave is humorous, perceptive and an on the spot commentator of events. He is sincere-alway's he's Dave. Ira Levine Ira Levine is the jovial member of the class of '64. His liery temper often makes him the center of many humorous scirrnishes where his true, fun-loving tendencies are revealed. Ira displays his intellectual capabilities in the classroom. Academically he ranks high in the class. although he wants to be associated exclusively with his intellectual interests, he disdains intellectuals. Ira's character is truly a paradox, to his friends he is warm and happy, to those who do not know him well he seems brooding and silent. Bruce McKobc1 Outwardly subdued, inwardly rebellious, Bruce represents the carefree and unemotional of the class of '64. athletically inclined but academically unmoved Bruce's mind wanders to more personally stimulating thoughts he has earned three letters in his favorite sport-soccer two letters in track as a high jumper Bruceis vendetta is against'those rules and regulations which muzzle him. dbx W.,-9 S xg?

He is not the least bit preppy , he is not moved by current vogues. Always he follows his inclinations. Always he says what he means. he is not eloquent, but his expression is unique Entertaining, sociable, uncommonly honest, silently intelligent Peter is, above all, himself. Jay Royce In his silver Corvette, Jay makes his entrance each morning upon the Academy scene with a flash of speed and grandeur. For school activities he offers his services for transportation and is eager to drive anywhere, but he is more likely to be a chauffered businessman tomorrow than the chauffer he is now. Accepting the responsibilities of dining room steward, Jay pursues his obligation from a relaxed position on the senior room window sill. He is easy-going, friendly, and saturated with inner contentment. Steve Schwartz The word competent was made for Steve Schwartz. he has earned Highest academic average in his class he is the Chief editor of Yearbook 77 he is an Invaluable lineman on the football team he is an Esteemed classmate. Steve is an integral part of anything to which he devotes himself. In every endeavor he is significant- often outstanding. Steve avails himself of many experiences- dabbles at none. He is passionate and zealous to whatever he belongs. N.- sR Md' Frank Sciro It's fun to be with Frank Frank lives up to his name-he is always frank. he spares no complement where it is merited and spares no criticism for those who deserve it. Above all Frank is sincere. Frank is a superb mimic and entertaining story-teller. he is a class oilicer, a cheerleader, and a spirited baseball player. Frank is the smile of the class of 1964 John Sheldon The Flash is a nickname duly conferred on John. His broken field running in four years of Varsity Football earned 141 points to set a new Academy record, and as Captain of Varsity Football and Track, John demonstrates his skill and leadership. As Vice-President of the Student Council and other organizations, he exhibits a calm and serious nature and in class his pet technique of explanation is the analogy. There are times when one wonders if John is not merely a myth, but despite his many talents, his modesty is unassuming. Lew Solomon As president of the Student Council, Lew often has the opportunity to demonstrate his oratorical ability in personal warmth coupled with frankness, through forceful leadership, and in his unique powers of persuasion. In his own quiet manner he is an honor roll student and valuable soccer player and tennis captain. Lew attests to the fact that leadership isn't all pomp and circumstance, but rather competence, sincerity, and the ability to inspire others by one's own example and personality. E GAL M!

He finds being a boy just great and he can't see the hurry to grow up. he is cynical of those who devote themselves to work and who deprive themselves of life. Mark is always active. He has an active intellect and is a notable and versatile athlete he is the best baseball pitcher that the Academy has recently had and he is captain of that team. Despite his cynicism he is a warm and loyal friend to those who are his friends. Roy Vcm Vleck Roy brightens any company with his amiable personality. His soft-spoken and polite manner blend his character into that of a gentleman. He demonstrates his speed and agility as All-State soccer player as a junior, captain of the soccer team in his senior year and a skilled tennis player. Unexpected puns are his specialty, which he delivers with a shy and innocent grin. In these outward virtues Roy is forever modest he is more than a classmate he is a friend. Carl Wild Carl is always creating shrewd schemes of intrigue and profit. he is well cast as the business manager of the literary magazine, The Spectrum. Carlfs narratives on the fiscal budget, or even on contemporary Germany sound like the financial page of the N. Y. Times Always authorititive he says uall that's fit to speak. Carl's thinking transcends that which can only be tested. he is not an outstanding student. rather, he is a provocative thinker. 'K' N ewsreel I I Academics take precedence . .

Lawrence Piersol is instrumental in their education. Chairman of the science department, he instructs his five classes with the vigor and enthusiasm of a true scientist. yet as his quick witticisms reveal a warmth, typical of fine teachers, his firm and serious outlook on the science of life reflects an inward dedication. Mr. Piersol can thus intermingle the intent of a scientist with the joviality of a companion. Mr. Mc1cFcidyen Many students find it difiicult to master one foreign language, yet Mr. MacFadycn has become fiuent in three-French, German, and Rumanian. he has contributed his athletic talents to the school as a coach for the varsity soccer and tennis teams. he has instituted a minor course in basic economics.

Drake. Through well-disciplined, advanced courses in chemistry and physical science, Mr. Drake instills in his classes a gratifyingly fervent response to these subjects, and by a thorough investigation into their complexities, he has inspired many of his students into careers of future scientific discovery. 31 Mr. Lczpidus Mr. Lapidus is a rare combination of the obviously contrasting properties of athletic ability and academic fervor. he has been a coach in both cross country and track, Where his ability to help has been most gratefully accepted. As a Williams Phi Beta Kappa, he shows the ability to stimulate his Spanish and Basic Linguistic classes as no master before him has ever done. and as initiator of a minor course in Russian, he wants to share his fervor with some of his students. Soft-spoken, but stern, liberal, but traditional, Marshall A. Lapidus is an integral component of a talented faculty. 32 Mr. Noguds Never has there been a teacher more capable of teaching French and Spanish than Mr. Nogues.

Maybe not, but Ian Naismith has effected a spirit of awakening to the Latin program at the Academy.

Y Y vmv. ,- Y 1 English: A Theme cl Week Through an equal stress on both expression and literature, the English department is trying to teach each student the increased understanding of and proficiency in the English language. In expression, the general emphasis is on techniques of critical analysis, and expository prose, through weekly writing assignments. In grades 7 and 8 there is a basic study of traditional grammar and emphasis on correctness in writ- ing. The stress changes again in the 11th and 12th grades to the more sophisticated problems of syntax, rhetoric, and style. The other main facet of the English program is the literary, in which the emphasis is on the study of literature as an essential part of the intellectual and moral development of any individualis specialized interests or vocational aims. The literary program is based on the extensive reading in a variety of literary forms, both classical and modern. In general, the literature is aimed at the student in such a way as to have relevance and immediacy for him as a source of illumination and expansion of his own experience. To the 7th and 8th grades is introduced the study of interpre- tive literature. To the 9th and 10th are introduced the application of critical skills to a variety of demanding works, and the application of a literary experience as a multi-dimen- sional appeal to the emotions, senses, and imagination, as well as to the intellect.

Q. s. 34 History: From General to Specific The ignorance which breeds the hate which breeds violence is the target of the history courses of Montclair Academy. The history department is little concerned with dates and facts, rather they concentrate on the forces and the principles which write history. It is not adequate for a student to know about an ageg he must understand it, criticize it, and evaluate it. It is not enough to know about one facet of an erag a panorama must be recreated. The history department is not phased by those who say: Nothing is learned from history. Their concern is to make history valuable for the generation it now teaches. Democracy is conceived as the government of a well- informed electorate. The history department of Montclair Academy prepares both potential leaders and voters to make decisions, not blinded by ignorance or bias, but enlightened by knowledge and perception. Below.

The language department, recognizing its students probable future need for fluency in other languages, is offering language courses designed to prepare the student to be able to use his language or languages in any profession he may choose. Naturally, the basis of any sound language course is grammar and vocabulary. But the Academy supplements this foundation with a great deal of conversation and literature of each language, so the beginning language student may see the language alive and working, and therefore obtain a basic feel for the language, not know it just as an inert entity lying between the covers of a book. As the student increases his fluency in the language, the stress on grammar and vocabulary is transferred to a concentration in other areas, such as practice in the spoken language and a study of the literary heritage of that particular language. The purpose of this is not only to introduce the student to the different forms and variations of the language, but also to acquaint him with the noted authors and their thoughts expressed in that language. Hence the language department forms a wide and substantial base on which its conciencious students may build, and whether they become doctors or lawyers, linguists or archeologists, sociologists or clerks, they will be able to adapt their knowledge of foreign languages to their occupations.

What is the fufur anferieur of the verb senfir? 36 Mathematics: . . . math is fun In accord with the trend in education away from so-called conventional or 'trotev mathematics, the mathe- matics department defines its purpose as the development of the studentis inherent ability to think in a logical and creative manner. In conventional mathematics, the emphasis had been placed on the recipe -the formula or method which could be applied in any of a certain kind of problem to yield the correct answer. The New Mathn, such as taught at the Academy, calls for the original and logical thinking to come from the student, not from the author of the textbook. The student must learn to derive logically the formulas which he would have just had to memorize were it a conventional course. In the eighth and ninth grades, the courses deal mainly with the basic properties of one mathematical system, concentrating on the development of a logical and deductive pattern of thought in each student. In the tenth through twelfth grades, the mastery of this pattern is assumed and the stress is placed on the functional application of the basic axioms and properties and their derivations. The purpose of the advanced courses is not to explain the subject as a mathematical end or truth, but to give to the student an example of the use of logical and original thought in different branches of mathematics, while continuing to develop and test his abilities to think and understand on more complex levels. The reason why many students fail geometry for any math coursel is because they believe it. The purpose of the math department is to stop the student from believing it, and teach him to understand it. Upper Righf. Geometrical still life. Lower Right.

Science: A Controlled Experiment The science department, like the mathematics depart- ment, is attempting to present its courses in such a way as to teach the student to think objectively and logically, to devise his own formulas, and to come to his own conclusions. The physics course is actually the forerunner of this trend to original thought. The Academy has adopted the Physical Science Study Committee course in its curriculum, PSSC physics is an experimental course designed to teach the student to approach the problems with an ability to think logically, and not, as in so-called applied physics, with just a group of memorized formulas capable of giving an answer to any problem that might be asked. The chemistry course is much the same as the physics course, in that it also directs the student to the thought involved in deriving a concept or formula. Specifically, concentration on molecular geometry and atomic structure play a significant role in the chemical spectrum. The biology play a significant role in the chemical spectrum. In biology courses, however, it has been found impossible to adopt the biology equivalent of the new physics and chemistry courses, since such a course calls for the use of living specimens, and the present Academy facilities allow no space or materials for the housing of animals.

It is aimed at those students who are interested in supplementing one or more of their major courses through more intensive study in that subject, or those who want to travel out into certain fields of study covered only generally in the main course. Such courses as HBE. Cummingsw, UA Pictorial History of the Cultural Heritage of France , and Docu- mentary Records olfer the student an opportunity to study more deeply an aspect of one of their courses. For those students interested in broadening the scope of one of their majors, there are courses such as Basic Economicsn, which is important in the study of any history, Geometrics,', which reveals the world of geometry beyond elementary plane geometry and Greek, the knowledge of which allows the student to study at tirst hand such classics as the Oedipus Cycle, the Odyssey, and the many Greek myths and legends which he studies in English and Latin. The third genus of minor courses is for students interested in subjects not covered in their major courses. Although Psychology,'i 'iArt,i' f'Music Appreciationj' 'tltalic Handwritingji and 'tRussian all have little or no connection with the major courses offered at the Academy, they are offered to students interested in obtaining a truly liberal education beyond the limits of mere book knowledge.

Poor, Headmaster A REFLECTION CF THE YEAR Someone once asked me, How can you go on teaching that same dull, dry intermediate algebra year after year?', he didnit realize, you see, that it isnit that samev course which lends new zest to each passing year, though mathematicians would quite properly protest any aspersions cast on courses in a field which has undergone a dramatic face-lifting in recent years. in actuality it is the boys who make the difference, different boys every year - growing searching inquiring experimenting boys. Each year is a new year - a challenging, stimulating, rewarding entity in itself quite unlike any year that has gone before or any year that will come after. So it has been with 1963-64. no other year has been or ever will be just like it. This is the year of the numbing Kennedy assassination, when time suddenly stood still is the year of the New York Worldis Fair opening, a remarkable mirror of the incredible technological breakthroughs of our time. At Montclair this is the year of the ground breaking ceremonies fthe first three units of our magnificent six-building complex are going up nowj is the year when minor courses came of age - a myriad of fourteen offerings, led by our reinstated art program is the year when a hardy band of parents, calling themselves the Cliff Dwellers, began chartering buses for football games away and introduced a square dance for parents is the year when 'The Spectrumn appeared as the Academy's literary magazine when Pastoral Primerf' was written and produced for the Calico Bridge when examination ,periods were condensed from six days to four when the Glee Club extended its concerts to community organizations when scoring records were broken in football and when the varsity' basketball team compiled its best record in a decade. . The Class of 1964 deserves no small share of the credit for this year's accomplishments It was they who persuaded the student body to support the Foster Parent Plan they who proposed Letter Sweater Days they who initiated joint Student Council meetings with Kimberley they who dared to question their own smoking privileges in light of recent government releases. By some inexplicable phenomenon each class in its senior year emerges with a character and personality uniquely its own. the Class of 1964 is no exception. With neither National Merit semi-finalists nor laggards, this is the first Academy class to break the 600 barrier in both verbal and mathematical S.A.T. averages this is a class studded with the kind of leaders who place conviction before popularity is a class endowed with extraordinary sensitivity, whether it takes the form of sustaining a bereaved widow on the loss of her husband long a part of the school or of demonstrating a tangible concern for an underprivileged twelve-year-old in Vietnam. I salute the Montclair Academy of 1963-64 and the Class of 1964 in particular- not alone for the host of noteworthy memories left behind but for the promise of the Future. Henry B.

Seventh Grade: Happy and Mischievous Having overcome the apprehension of coming to a new school, the Class of 1970 entered Montclair Academy and became a leading contender for Academic excellence. .Tim Diehl, Kevin Gosner, Walter Kuhlmann, Chris Nelson, Anthony Romano, and Procter Smith consistently made the honor roll. The class also boasted several promising athletes. Tim Berra, Jim Diehl, and Jay Hubschman shone on the gridiron as did Fred Miller and Chris Nelson on the soccer field. This class, which distinguished itself in academics as Well as in athletics, also contributed to extra-curricular activities. A science fiction movie is now in the making. With a script written by Apter, Diehl, and Miller, and with Apter as camera man, special eifects man and director, it appears to be a unique experience. A number of boys took part in and contributed to the minor course program, especially the ltalic handwriting and documentary records courses. Gordy Carlisle, a promising artist, executed a number of fine paintings, some of which have been hung in the Academic building. Elliot Apter is a musical virtuoso in his own right, Scott Anderson, Fred Miller, and Procter Smith were valuable to the Student Council. The seventh grade class was interesting, significant, and promising. 3 B, f. 4' r A. H.,,W. V K 8 T ,F 1 .. V, X, X' f ' ,L ' ' f' i . 1 '. . .,,.

The academic leaders of the class were president Wig Zamore, consistently on the High Honor Roll, and Javy Awan, vice-president and an honor roll student. Several eighth graders took the ninth grade courses of Earth Science and Algebra, several advanced students took two languages. Although outwardly uninterested in school activities, under- neath, the class of '68 is quietly forming itself into the future leaders and voices of the student body. Because of schedule restrictions, the eighth grade participation in extra-curricular activities was limited. Rob Sanders received one of the leading parts in the K-A play, and there were several eighth graders in minor courses, particularly art and music appreciation. The outstanding athletes were Rob Sanders in foot- ball, Phil Crane in soccer, and Mark Silk in wrestling. Fierce competition by Dave Moir, Larry Berra, and Rich O'Neil added to the depth of the various teams as well as to the spirit.

It claims academic achievements and athletic triumphsg it combines the serious and the humorous. Despite this diversity it has not lost sight of the responsibilities it will have to assume as future leaders. Scholastically, the class made a fine showing, led by Rick Sheldon, Ralph Wood, and Barry Magid, who con- sistently attained honor roll standing while participating in advanced courses. The class' true proficiency lay in athletics. In the fall, Steve Swift, Mike Speni, and Chris Steggles starred for the junior varsity football team, while Rick Sheldon and Mike Yamashita earned varsity letters. In soccer the class was ably represented by Peter Adams and Charlie Gardner. The freshmen also participated actively in the winter sports program. Captain Jeff Podesta and teammates Bob Fazio and Mike Speni led the junior varsity basketball squadg Craig Perry and Mike Yamashita were members of the wrestling teamg George Wilson and Howie Zuckerman started on the swimming team. 50 -sd' ,f The freshman class is devoted to both academics and athleticsg it recognizes that there is a time for application to studies and a time for participation in sports. Through a complex mixture of the two fields, the Class of '67 has derived its own formula for success at the Academy.

Brandt, Haines, McAleer, Eels, Reed, Schroeder, P., Fitzpatrick, Gill, Wahl, i I This year's sophomore class assumed a heightened academic responsibility and extra-curricular initiative as each student became increasingly aware that his performance would be judged by adult standards, and that the license of the young boy was no longer valid. At the same time the class sought to deemphasize the tension of a demanding school program by organizing other dimensions of school life. Bob Yolken, maintaining the highest average in the school as a high honor roll student, exemplifies the standard of scholastic achievement set by the tenth grade. Mark Geannette, John Hawley, Bob Mascia, Brant Switzler, Norman Weisman, and Bob Wenger consistently achieved honor roll status. The Sophomore class has proven itself willing to support every facet of extra-curricular life at the Academy. The staff of the Montclair News includes Richard Kuzsma and Craig Schenk, business manager and features editor respectively. Mary Geannette, John Hawley, Norman Weis- man, Bob Wenger, and Bob Yolken constitute a majority in the Leones Debating Society membership. Among the voices in the Glee Club Caroling Group are those of Bill Roome, Bob Mascia, and Larry Guerke. Also, sophomores supported the dramatics production, Glee Club and Yearbook 77 and the Spectrum, as well as courses in the winter program. Finally, the first unified endeavor on the part of the soph- omore class was the sponsorship of a dance, 'The Oasis, held on February 15. Participation in fall and winter athletics matched the standard of excellence set by sophomores in the classroom. Varsity letter winners Blake Traendly, Craig Cameron, Fred Szot, Skip Degan, John Howald, and Carter Fitzpatrick were primary factors in a successful varsity football season. The varsity soccer team was ably supported by forwards Larry Blake and Brant Switzler, a three-season varsity letter winner. Alan Balma, a steadily improving runner showed great promise for future years on the cross country team. In the winter, John Howald and Craig Cameron highlighted a varsity basketball campaign. The wrestling team received con- sistently fine performances from lightweights Mike Kurtz, Bob McAleer, and Mike Henessy, and heavyweight Fred Szot, while Blake Traendly, Carter Fitzpatrick, and captain Brant Switzler led a host of sophomores through the swimming season. 51 Eleventh Grade: Spirited and Zecilous JUNIOR CLASS: first row I To r: Ferrara, Fries, Hare, J, Masciu, T, Stern second row: Flcgg, Shifter, Belmont, Shupik, Cutoio, O'Sheo, third row: Hare, G, LcBon1e, Moir, R, Brown, K,. With the prospect of college entrance imminent, the class of 1965 has grown closer with its new sense of unity and responsibility. In academics as well as athletics, it has continued to dedicate itself to the enrichment of Montclair Academy. In an attempt to gain the maximum from the high school experience, it has made its presence felt unequivocally in all phases of Academy life. The class has, this year, probed new and challenging intellectual areas. In particular, honor roll students Pete Ehrenberg, Holt Apgar, Jeff Silberfeld, Steve Edelstein, Pete Stern, Bob Moir, Sandy Kurtz, and Francis Schiller have made great advances in disciplining minds. The Junior class is represented by at least one student in the Academy's 52 Advanced History Course as well as Latin, German, Spanish, French, and Science courses. The class of i65 managed to direct some of their other energies to stock Academy teams with deft and intense athletes. This year's successful varsity football team was led on largely by the efforts of members of the junior class. Play throughout the season was sparked by the offensive of Kerry Brown, Bob Ferrera and Barry Belmont, and Joe Hare was dynamite both offensively and defensively. Mean- while, on the soccer field, Coach Naismithis charges were spurred by hard-kicking forwards Billy Fries, Holt Apgar, and Mike Fink. Halfbacks Kuzmick, Allen, and Livesy booted the soccer ball with accuracy and consistency. In a JUNIOR CLASS: first row l to r: Silberfeld, Mutchler, Edelstein, Fink, Apgar, Kurtzg second row: Duvo, Raker, Ehrenberg, Sessa, Bernstein, Livesey, Duvisg third row: Schneider, Huuk, Kuzmick, Allen. non contact sport, Pete Ehrenberg, Greg Hare, and Dick Killgore paced the cross-country team to its most successful season in many years. Juniors converted gracefully from out- door to indoor contests. While Brown, Ehrenberg and Silberfeld starred for the basketball team, and Moir, Kuz- mick, Allen, Schiller and Harry Raker were competing for the swimming squad, Joe Hare and Bob Livesy were damaging their opponents on the wrestling mats. While academic and athletic pursuits are highly creditable, a truly outstanding character must be measured by the accomplishments that are not required - those respon- sibilities freely accepted and vigorously- performed. It is in this Held Where the class of ,65 was significant. The Montclair News boasts many juniors on its masthead, including Pete Stern, Steve Edelstein, Victor Bernstein, and Rich LaBonte. While LaBonte was a key figure on the Spectrum, Yearbook 77 was also aided greatly by Edelstein and Bernstein. Active in the full scope of clubs and societies, the degree of par- ticipation of the class is epitomized in the highly'competitive Debating Society where three of four starting members, including both officers, are Juniors. This yearls dance, The Charleston Club, sponsored by this class, was well attended and very definitely enjoyed by all present. V Thus, the junior class remains a group of individual personalities welded together by common goals and pledged to do all it can with its Wide scope of interests and abilities. 53 Twelfth Grcicle: Responsible Excellence Deeply woven into the academic, social, and athletic texture of Montclair Academy, the class of '64 has dis- tinguished itself as a group of unique individuals dedicated to the advancement of their school and themselves. First and foremost has been the class' contribution to the academic status of the Academy. As a class, the seniors compiled an average of college board scores which has surpassed that of any previous class. Individually, both Jay Dobkin and Dave Levin earned Letters of Commendation for their scores in the National Merit Scholarship Examination. The seniors had the highest percentage of Honor Roll stu- dents in the school: leading the class were Bruce Anderson, Bob Eliezer, Ira Levine, Steve Schwartz, and John Sheldon. Yet a class is no more resourceful than its leaders, and in this department the class of l64 truly excelled. As president, Mike Donnelly has kept each senior constantly aware of his individual responsibility to the school, with the help of the other otlicers, Sheldon, Frank Sciro, and Schwartz. But of even greater signiticance has been the role of the president of the student council, Lew Solomon, whose firm and energetic leadership has been a source of stimulation for the formerly lethargic student government. The leadership and participation of the seniors in school activities has been a great source of commendation. As president of the Red and Black Honor Society and Editor of the Montclair News, Dobkin has contributed greatly to the SENIOR CLASS: front seated l to r: Donnelly, Broadfoot, Solomon, Van Vleck, Wild, Sheldonp rear: Eliezer, Royce, Dobkin, Levine. 54 affairs of the school. Others leading in this field are Schwartz, secretary of the Society and Editor in Chief of Yearbook 77, and Anderson, Editor and originator of the literary magazine. Yet these seniors are only representative of the total spirit, imagination, and leadership which have been continually demonstrated by the class of '64. To round out the class, athletics play if not the most important role then a very important role in the personality of the class. Leading the list of athletes was Sheldon, captain and record-breaking scorer of the football team and twice captain of the track team. Following him are wrestling captain Eliezer, three letter man Donnelly, captain of the basketball team, and baseball captain Mark Tessler, a pitcher and the leading hitter on the squad. Also outstanding were soccer captain Roy Van Vleck, soccer goalie Will Kuhlmann, and golf captain Dave Levin. But the role of the class of ,64 is just beginning. The innocent inquisitiveness of a Katz, the search of a Broadfoot for thoughts he is unable to express, the financial worries of a Wild, the alternating moods of depression and elation of a Tessler and Levine, and even the comical antics of a Lax or Mayer all reflect an impatience for the future. For them the buildings of Montclair Academy will be forgotten, the experience invaluable.

As faculty advisor to the Leonts Debating Society, he has instituted a new appreciation for forensic speaking, and for the winter session, in accord with his intellectual personality, he has introduced a new music appreciation course. Add to these contributions a deep respect and concern for student welfare, and the sum total is clearly an image of Mr. Greco. 60 but mostly Montclair Academy is the speech ot its students Above., RED AND BLACK: Honor Society members discuss candidates.

Red and Black Honors Seniors The Red and Black Society, one of the Academy's oldest and most esteemed organizations, is a curricular and extra-curricular honor society. The purpose of the society is to provide suitable recognition for students who maintain both high academic standards and display leadership and responsibility in the Academy's non athletic activities. Through a change of constitution in 1961, membership in the society is based more on the quality of a candidates participation in activities than through quantity of participa- tion. Under advisor Mr. 'Philip W. Stackpole, president Jay Dobkin, and secretary Steve Schwartz, the Red and Black has continued to recognize seniors and juniors for outstanding extra-curricular work. . Above' STUDENT COUNCIL: Student representatives discuss foster child at weekly meeting. 62 Council Shows lniatitive Before Lewis Solomon became president of the Student Council many people expressed the opinion that student councils do not do anything. This can no longer be said, at least it can no longer be said at Montclair Academy. 'tThis student council is the liason we promised, its policies are definitive. We do not carry on the vendetta against the administration which many student councils feel they should, and do. We exist primarily for the improvement of Montclair Academy, thus, we legislate on behalf of both the student body and the faculty-administration. We listen to both voices and speak with a single purpose. It is this attitude, this philosophy, which has enabled our student council to move and build up inertia as the year progresses. The student council enjoys a measure of power, and it is used only as it should be used - to advance purpose. The Student Council of 1963-1964 is not characterized by pomp and circumstance, or by plentiful words and platitudes, but by action and power. The Student Council has initiated and instituted three reforms which are special, the adoption of a child under the Foster Parent's Plan, the establishment of a refreshment stand at athletic contests, and the introduction of Letter Sweater Days. The Student Council has also continued with many of the policies that preceeding councils began, has taken on some new responsibilities, and has pursued its traditional duties with a renewed vigor. The Student Council helped to organize and effect the character of the minor course program. We have reinstituted the Secretariat, and the Student Council has established itself as the clearing office of school activities. A number of other reforms have been ratified by the council and are now either undergoing revision or are under discussion by the faculty-administration. First, the Student Council is reorganizing the program of student gallaries for observation of its meetings. The Student Council has arranged for the financing of the literary magazine. Most prominent on the agenda of issues to consider are a meeting with Kimberley School to redefine and reach a new understanding on the connection between the two schools. The 1963 session of the Student Council has demon- strated that student government can be a valuable and an integral part of this school. We shall continue to improve this school. We shall also extend our service beyond the school, we have begun to do this by adopting a foster child, but this is only a first step. We shall continue to be the government that you have waited for, and now see. This has been a long speech, but we have had a long and proud record to speak about. 1 l F. ir V 3 '1 v gig..

Newspaper Expands Coverage With a small, talented core of writers, typists, and artists, editor-in-chief Joy Dobkin with the help of faculty advisor Mr. Thomas L. Spence, produced fifteen issues of the Montclair News. Not only turning out one of the best newspapers in recent years, editor Dobkin also improved the paper's efficiency. The award winning editorial page was expanded to include letters from foreign countries, short stories, and cartoons. Rich LaBonte,s Walnuts', cartoons, along with his science fiction essays, were among the most prominent additions. While Peter Stern, Steve Edelstein, and Victor Bern- stein searched out and arranged the news, Jim Katz and Jeff Silberfeld, editing the sports page, added an editorial column to it. Under the name of either JeIf's Jots , by Silberfeld, or 6'Katz,s Kornerv, by Katz, the columns offered criticisms and opinions on certain rules in sports, Academy teams, and controversial issues in the world of sports. l Above- GLEE CLUB: Vocalists Rehearse Dem Bones . Varied Programs Sung Mixing the majestic harmonies of such traditional songs as 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic with the popular rhythms such as Fred Waring's arrangement of Dem Bones', the glee club, under the direction of Mr. Elston L. Husk, gave several outstanding performances. During the Christmas season the program was based around a number of traditional Christmas carols with other songs such as Winter Songv and 'The Boar's Head Caroli' being sup- plemented. During the spring the glee club attempted Thompson's classic score, 'The Testament of Freedom , along with other songs. Besides regular participation at school functions and the K-A Concert, a small sixteen man caroling group performed for the Verona Womenis Club, the Montclair Rotary Club and several other organizations. Prominent soloists were Dave Levin, Bob Eliezer, John Sheldon, Jim Kuzmick, and Roy Van Vleck. BOHOHI- DRAMATIC CLUB: Academy thespians prepare for performance. WinsIow Boy Performed 'The Winslow Boy by Terrence Rattigan was per- formed by the dramatic clubs of the Academy and the Kimberly School on leap dayv CFebruary 291, just as this date is special and rare, so were the performances and interpretations of the drama. The casting of the play was impeccable, and this contributed to the professional character of the production. Arthur Winslow CLewis Solomonj wages a prolonged and costly battle with the English courts to vindicate his son CBob Sandersj from a charge of theft. As a result he becomes a poor, tired, and beaten man, and the daughter Uoan Poorj, whom he loves, suffers a broken engagement. 65 John Sheldon plays the role of a lawyer who sacrifices a high government position so that right may be done. The interpretation which all of these key players give to their roles transcended general standards of amateur excellence. John Benigno gave signiiicance and vitality to his supporting role. Pete Orgain and Rich LaBonte were both competent. Robert C. Hemmeter, who demonstrated his virtuousity as director deserves special commendation. The professional performance of both Academy and Kimberly players were as much a credit to his directions as to the talent and interest of the performers. t'The Winslow Boy is a new standard of excellence to which plays in succeeding years may strive.

Greco, the Leones Debating Society has planned an ambitious schedule. Being a charter member of the newly formed Commonwealth Forensic Union, the club's scope has been expanded and now includes public and independent schools from the entire metropolitan area. Debating the national debate topic, Resolved that Social Security Benefits Should Be Extended to Include Com- plete Medical Carew, the team was lead by veteran members Mike Fink, Steve Edelstein, Victor Bernstein, Bob Yolken, and Peter Stern. New members, including Mark Geannette, Bob Wenger, Norman Weisman, and John Hawley, gained ex- perience by participating in several novice,' contests with opponents of similar skills. In addition to the scheduled debates, a select group participated in tournaments including one held at Columbia University. With all current members returning next year, the Leones Debating Society feels assured of maintaining its established standards. 64 Above. HONORS ENGLISH: Seated l to r: Donnelly, Broadfoot, Schwartz, Levin, Sheldon, Levine, Anderson, standing: advisor Kerner, absent Solomon. Honors Course Offered In order to prepare gifted seniors for possible advanced placement in English, the Academy has continued an extra-curricular Honors English program. Under the guidance of Mr. Joseph R. Kerner, seniors meet to broaden their knowledge in certain fields of literature andbto test their assumptions on what they have read through discussion. This year the ten seniors, the largest group ever to take the course, examined the works of, among others, Marlowe, Byron, Nietzche, Faulkner, and James. Press Club Records Achievement Under the leadership of president Bill Lax and faculty advisor Thomas Spence, the Press Club has again informed the public about student activities. Sending weekly information to local and community newspapers, the Press Club concerns itself with honor roll, sports, distinguished awards, and other school news. The club is under the student leadership of Vice- president Will Kuhlmann, social events coordinator Brant Switzler, sports editors Sandy and Michael Kurtz, and Mark Geannette, who writes the Academy notice to the Montclair Times and sends honor roll information to various papers. All departments form a cohesive unit responsible for much of Montclair Academy's public relations. Above. Press Club members Mike Kurtz, Sandy Kurtz, and Brant Switzler review the latest press release from Montclair Academy. A-V Aids Assemblies Under the direction of advisor Mr. Bernard Drake and president Jay Dobkin, the audio-visual club provided the service of the school visual aid equipment. The major amount of the club's work was done in working both film and slide projectors for assembly programs and in working the public address system at football games. Members of the club also took moving pictures of the varsity football team's games. Besides providing these services for the school, the audio-visual club has offered valuable experience for boys interested in learning how to work and actually use electronic equipment. Below. Bruce Anderson presides over meeting of Library Council. Library Council Re-established Initiated in 1962-63, the Library Council was de- signed by Montclair Academy librarian Jean R. Nugent for the purpose of organizing student activities and responsibili- ties. Composed of monitors and aids with elected ollicers Bruce Anderson and Bob Mascia, the Council is divided into various committees, each performing a different function. Among these duties are book repairing, binding, shelving, displaying, and marding, magazine processing and fine col- lecting. With the advent of the Library Council, not only have functions previously carried on by students been retained and enlarged upon, but new duties and services have been instituted to allow students to participate more actively in the Academy library. Special Affairs Above. Trustee and 75th Anniversary Program Chairman Howard A. Van Vleck '22, assists at ground breaking. Ground Breaking Begins New Era Saturday, September 21, 1963, marked the end of one phase of a long hard climb up hill for Montclair Academy, on this day, a day of beautiful sunshine, the ground breaking ceremonies for the new facilities of the Academy took place. Representing the ultimate victory in years of court battles, in a short ceremony, less than a half-hour in length, ground was broken on the sight of M,A'.s future administra- tion building by M. L. Davis Barney, Mr. Howard A. Van Vleck, and by the president of each class. Mr. Poor led the ceremonies which began with an 65 invocation given by the Reverend Mr. Arthur K. Wing, HI. Speaking at the ceremonies were: Mr. Barney, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Montclair Academy, the Honorable Mr. Harold S. Osborne, mayor of the Town of Montclair, Mr. Lewis R. Solomon, president of the Student Council, and Mr. Van Vleck, chairman of the 75th Anniversary Program Committee, who introduced some veteran members of the Academy family. Above. MOTHER'S ASSOCIATION TEA: Patrons at the Calico Bridge enjoy Pastoral Primer, a musical by Robert C. Hemmeter. Musical Highlights Tea Highlighted by Mr. Robert Hemmeter's musical 'Pastoral Primer , the Montclair Academy -- Brookside School Mother's Association employed a nineteenth century schoolhouse motif for their annual tea. Over 600 women attended the affair held at the Upper Montclair Women's Club. After several speeches, Mr. Hemmeter's production was presented. Mr. Philip Oksen starred as the village professor with Jim Kuzmick, Rob Livesey, Rich LaBonte, and'Jeif Hook rounding out the cast. You is a Personal Pronounn, t'Columbia , and The New Soft Shoei' were prominent tunes. 66 Jazz Age Relived With a twenty three skidoo and a Varsity Drag, the junior class opened the doors of the once gymnasium, now chic speakeasy to the faculty, students and their dates. On this date, December 14, the juniors were holding their dance, the Charleston Clubi'. The turnout to the dance was enthusiastic and every- body enjoyed themselves, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Hemmeter, Mr. Oksen, and their dates stole the show with their fancy footwork in the Charleston. The atmosphere spanned several decades, from the Charleston to the Twist. Jim Kuzmick and Sue Maybee won the Charleston contest, Sandy Kurtz and Cookie Sayre won the Twist contest. The Bunny-Hop, however, caught the attention of all. Near East Theme Used After some spirited, soggy advertisement in morning meeting, the Sophomore class dance, The Oasisn, was pre- sented on February 15th in the Academy gym, which was transformed from a suburban dwelling into an exotic, desert oasis. The arrangements for the dance were made by class advisors Mr. Piersol and Mr. Kerner and class officers Kuzma and Switzler, whose enthusiasm provided the incentive for the success of the dance. Extended Morning Meetings Once each week, usually Friday, an extended morning meeting is presented to the school. The entire student body, faculty and visitors gather to hear students or outside speakers who relate a wide variety of interesting experiences and informative knowledge varying from marine engineering to living in Turkey. Always exciting, they provide a broad base from which to enhance the cultural background of the Academy student. October II. Along political lines, Elmer W. Mat- thews, Democrat and State Assemblyman for the past six years, spoke on the attitude of the people toward New Jersey's government. He said that one of the major problems involved in politics today is too much apathy. People are not interested in government. He cited the example that if he is elected, it will be by only 25721 of the one million voters registered. October 26. Mr Paul Spens, marine engineer from Cambridge University, spoke on the application of physics 5 Wy. Gigli: iii Above. Mr. Paul Spens recounts his Atlantic Ocean crossing. to the production of faster and better sail boats. By using test models in the laboratory, weather conditions are simulated in order to measure the amount of friction caused by waves rolling over the hull. It is to reduce this resistance that the marine engineer is devoted. In response to student demands, Mr. Spens took a group of students to visit his laboratory. November I. During a fascinating talk, Vincent Conzen, a student at the Academy, spoke on Turkey, where he traveled last summer. Even though Turkey is the largest NATO country, it is under military rule and very unstable, considering that 90W of the population is against the government. November 8. Mr. Joseph Green, a managerial analyst for the U. S. Navy and President of the Montclair Branch of the NAACP spoke on civil rights and its effect upon the generations to come. The Rutgers graduate said that one of the biggest problems for the Negro isrcommunication. Mr. Green stressed that today it is almost impossible for Negroes and whites to get together and resolve their differences. November 15. A regular occurrence each year is the Charity Drive Assembly. Speakers from the student council described different charities and the students were allowed to choose the one they wanted to contribute to. Steve Schwartz spoke on aid to the Near East Foundation, Jeff Podesta spoke on the Red Cross, Mike Fink on the City of Hope, and Kerry Brown on the Montclair Camp Fund. This year's drive was extremely successful, netting about 450 dollars. December 6. In a more light-hearted vein, the stu- dents were treated to a musical assembly by the accomplished Mrs. Silk, mother of an Academy boy, and Mrs. Esther Gilbert - both graduates of the Juilliard School of Music. Mrs. Gilbert, an orchestra and symphony violinist has been hrst violinist in the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. They played two sonatas for piano and violin, each divided in four movements, one by Handel and the other by Cesar Franck. February I. The poetry contest, in which students compete in order to discover which one will represent the school in the State Poetry Contest held at Rutgers, was won by Lew Solomon, for the second year in succession. Each one of the three contestants had to read 'fD0ver Beachf' by Arnold Matthews. For the free selections, Lew Solomon chose f'Out, Out! by Robert Frost, Mike Donnelly picked A. E. Houseman's To an Athlete Dying Young and John Benigno read 'fRichard Coreyw by Edward Robertson. The boys finished in that order. Robert Frost's Out, Out is recited by Lew Solomon, winner Below. of the annual poetry reading contest. February 14. Mr. Gosner, a snake and whale expert for the Newark Museum, spoke to the school on snakes and their origins. Father of one of the Academy boys, Mr. Gosner thrilled everyone by bringing a live snake with him. He described the snakes found on the East Coast and some of the most well-known poison snakes such as the diamond- back rattler. February 21. Another Academy father, Mr. Leonard Silk, gave a brief definition and insight into the world of economics. Senior Economics Editor of Business Week, he defined Economics as basically the study of money. Mr. Silk then went on to enumerate some of the intricacies of the stock market and modern day economic challenges. 67 N ewsreel V For athletic announcements, I call on . . .

Baseball Team Lapses After Fast Start Due to Inconsistent Hitting Ideally, the varsity baseball team would have finished its season after the first two games, possessing a 2-0 record and being just another good season for coach Edwin Van Brunt. Mr. Van Brunt had conjectured that the squad was inexperienced, however, key positions were quickly filled by Mark Tessler, Bob Potters, Frank Sciro, Harvey Cohen, Andy Abrams, Will Kuhlman, and John Howald. Cohen, who led the team's hitting with a .304 average and Tessler, slugging an even .300, ended the season as the Academy's only respectable hitters, since a second half hitting slump resultedin the squad's dismal 3-9 record. The varsity's initial win of the year came in the opener when the Academy nine clubbed Montclair College High School 16-5. The squad's second victim was its age old rival Newark Academy in which Mark Tessler limited the Minutemen to six runs while the Academy, led by the hitting of Harvey Cohen and captain Marc Isenberg, tallied seven. Losses to Wardlaw School 9-4, Morristown School 4-2, Englewood School 3-2, and Rutger's Preparatory School 7-3 followed the team's best start since 1959. The Academy, paced by the eight-hit pitching of Frank Sciro, returned to the win column by defeating College High School a second time 9-5. Englewood School defeated the Academy 6-1 on a one hitter, with the squad's hitting doldrums deepening. 72 Above. Delbarton player steals third as Kuhlmann receives late throw from plate.

Many starters will be back next season, including captain-elect Tessler, Sciro, Kuhlman, Mike Donnelly, Howald, and Bob Ferrara. With the addition of some new power, the team shoulda regain its winning ways come next spring, even though they suffer the loss of All-Prep first-baseman Marc Isenberg. Bottom.

Led by hard-hitting, solid-pitching Ted Vassilowich C.393J, shortstop Erich Sandwall C.391j, and left Helder Bill Fries 63203, the Academyis main problem seemed to be co-ordinating all the facets of the game.

A series of four straight losses to Delbarton School 13-2, Ward- law School 15-12, Newark 8-7, and Delbarton School a sec- ond time, followed the team's first victory. Rediscovering their hitting power, the Academy junior varsity banged out thirteen runs in a 13-6 victory over St. Bernardis School. In the final contest of the season, the team suffered its sixth loss of the year at the hands of Wardlaw, 15-4. Junior Baseball Shows Strong Attack Strong hitting guided the 1963 junior baseball team, coached by John Nugent, to a creditable 5-3-1 record. In its initial contest of the season, Englewood School defeated the Academy 8-6. The seventh and eighth grade team lashed out a potent attack, but Bill Palen allowed eight runs which were too much to overcome. Newark Academy inflicted the second defeat on the team by a 8-2 score.

The outstanding fresh- man relay team, the performance of the two sophomore milers, and the fine overall effort of the team, highlighted the season. After two weeks of preparation, the trackmen, coached by Messers. Spoor, Stackpole, and Anderson, met their first opponent, St. Bernard's School, defeating them 41-31. In their next encounter, the varsity was beaten by a perennially strong Delbarton School team. The squad placed second in all three of their tri- angular contests. During the first of these, the team encountered Wardlaw School and Morristown School. Mor- ristown's consistency in securing second's and thirdls clinched a victory over the Academy. Wardlaw was third. In perhaps the most difficult meet of the season, the team defeated Newark, but once again was beaten by Delbarton. First place winners for the Academy were Sheldon in both the 440 and broad jump, and Mike Fink in the 100 with a time Montclair Academy 4l St. Bernard's 31 Montclair Academy 25 Delbarton 47 Montclair Academy 34 Wardlaw 6 Morristown 46 Montclair Academy 34 Wardlaw 15 St. Bernard's 39 Montclair Academy 195 Delbarton 25 Newark 435 of 10.5. In the last triangular meet, the Academy beat Wardlaw, but was defeated by St. Bernard's. Greg Hare ran a 4157.3 mile with Dick Killgore close behind. The Academy was particularly outstanding in two invitational meets, the Fieldston Relays and the Inter- Suburban Track Conference.

Much of the credit for this success is due to Mr. Faye Farrar, who took charge of conditioning the boys. With the return of captain Sheldon, Fink, and several freshmen, the varsity track team anticipates a winning season next year. Junior Track Highlighted By Outstanding Performances The 1963 junior track team, under the direction of Mr. Earl Sexton and Mr. Phillip Oksen, finished an unsuc- cessful but spirited season with a 1-3 record.

In the opening match against Wardlaw School, the final relay decided the meet, which Wardlaw won 42-37. Against Newark Academy the tracksters were defeated 50-30.

Under freshman coach Joseph Tucker, captain Dave Levin, Steve Schwartz, and Jim Katz -all three year lettermen-provided a nucleus of a team that won six and lost four. Rounding out the squad were new- comers Tony Mascia, Kerry Brown, John Benigno, and Pete Schroeder. The team began its season with two wins in the Hrst three matches. Captain Levin, Schwartz, Katz, and Mascia won their individual matches to enable the Academy to beat arch-rival Newark Academy 11M-7M in the season opener. The golfers then recorded a stunning 12-0 win against Immaculate Conception. Levin, Schwartz, Brown, and surprising 10-8 victory Mascia each captured the maximum three points. The Academy winning streak ended at two when College High defeated the team 11W-M. Only Levin's W point averted a shutout.

Led by captain Tom Alpren, the squad won 5 of its last 7 matches to compile a 7-6 record. In the first six matches, the team could manage only two victories. This may be attributed to the lack of expe- rience on the squad and the change of playing positions. However, during the second half of the season, the squad settled down and played to its true potential. Highlights of a particular season do not always occur in the victories. This was true in 1963. ln the 4-l loss to Morristown School, Alpren turned in his best performance of the year and nearly defeated one of the top-ranked players in the state. Alpren was equally adept at playing the baseline Montclair Academy l South Portland CMe.l 4 Montclair Academy B.M.I.

In the final match of the season, the Academy defeated Delbarton School 5-0 in the most gratifying win of the year. Seniors Alpren and Art Gurtman, and Silberfeld won their singles matches, and the two doubles teams of Roy Van Vleck and Brant Switzler, and Dan Hodges and Lew Solomon, triumphed to complete the shutout. Singles Men Spark Junior Tennis The 1963 junior tennis team, coached by Robert Hemmeter, in its first year as an organized team, compiled a 3-2 record. Led by captain Jeff Podesta, John Walker and Wig Zamore, the team defeated Wardlaw School twice and Englewood School once. The netsters suffered two losses at the hands of Short Hills Country Day School and Englewood.

After Morristown had jumped to an early 14-O lead, John Sheldon scampered 20 yards for a touchdown and the Academy's first score of the year. However, any chance for a Montclair victory was lost in the fourth quarter when a Morristown lineman took a Kerry Brown fumble and carried it into the end Zone for a touch- down. The Academyts final tally came on a pass from Brown to Sheldon. The second game of the season with the Englewood School resulted in Montclairis first victory of the year, a 26-0 win. The Academy team sh'owed the polish and finesse it had lacked in the opener. With Barry Belmont and Sheldon leading a powerful ground attack, aided by the solid blocking of offensive linemen Steve Schwartz, Bob Eliezer, and Fred Broadfoot, the squad dominated the offensive play. The defensive unit, led by Joe Hare, Craig Cameron, and Skip Degan, was also outstanding. The Delbarton School was the Academy's next opponent. Not much can be said about the game other than 82 the team was badly outclassed, 48-0. The team could not cope with the accurate passing of the Delbarton quarterback. The squad rebounded from the devastating loss to Delbarton by defeating Collegiate School 7-O. The score does not reflect the balance of the two teams, for twice the Academy penetrated the Collegiate ten yard line but was unable to score, while Collegiate never reached the Montclair thirty. Starring again for the Academy were Sheldon, Bel- mont, and John Howald. Travelling to Long Island and Connecticut,the team scored sixty points in their next two contests.

The Academy led 33-0 going into the last period when King scored 22 points. Howald passed for two touchdowns and kicked an extra point. The varsity football team next entertained arch-rival Newark Academy and lost 26-7. Newark held a 7-0 lead at the half as a result of a 70 yard run by Van Kostewitz, Newark's All Prep left halfback. The visitors scored three times in the second half to put the game out of reach and spoil the Alumni Day. Hare, making 14 tackles, was out- standing on defense. Montclair ended its season with a 6-6 tie with St. Bernard's School. The varsity dominated play throughout the first half and led 6-0 as the third quarter began. The Montclair eleven had scored in the first period on a 27 yard pass from Kerry Brown to captain elect Joe Hare. St. Bernardls tied the score in the waning moments of the third quarter when St. Bernard's center stole the ball from quarter- back Sheldon and ran 51 yards for the score.

The first encounter resulted in a 27-6 score with the Academy being led by quarterback Craig Perry, half- Montclair Academy 27 Morristown 6 Montclair Academy I3 Morristown I2 back Chris Steggles, and the fine line play of Bob Fazio and Joe Marino.

Three factors -- the spirit and ability of the boys and the coaching of Ian Naismith - accounted for this unprecedented feat. The lirst two meets, which were played on successive Friday's against Wardlaw School and King School, ended in 2-2 deadlocks. Captain Roy Van Vleck, who gained All- State honorable mention for the second straight year, accounted for three of the four goals.

After losing 4-1 to Rutgers Preparatory School, McKaba tallied the lone goal as the Academy once again edged Morristown, 1-0. Co-captain elect Bob Livesey's penalty kick was the difference as Englewood was defeated 1-0, and in the tinal home contest of the season, McKaba scored twice and St. Bernard's became the fourth victim, 2-0. Closing the season with Wardlaw, the Academy was defeated 2-0, and the optimistic predictions of coach Naismith were now a reality. Seniors Van Vleck, McKaba, Will Kuhlman, John Benigno, Bruce Anderson, Lew Solomon, Dave Levin, and Bill Lax will be missed next year, but co-captains Livesey and Bill Fries head a list of outstanding returnees who hope to maintain the Academy's soccer prowess.

John MacFadyen and Mr. Ian Naismith, had an impressive 2-0-1 record. This season was the first year of organized junior varsity soccer at the Academy and proved to be highly successful. In its opening tilt, the booters defeated Wardlaw School 4-O.

The booters finished the season by tying Wardlaw 0-0 and crushing Short Hills Country Day School 5-0. 90 Harriers Break Losing Streak The 1963 cross country team, coached by Craig Morse, will be long remembered as the team which broke a 14 meet losing streak and from which was coined the famous cry of Where,s Alan Balma?,'. The team kept putting out against all odds. Capitalizing on the second-third-fourth finishes of Pete Ehrenberg, captain Dick Killgore, and Greg Hare, and the tremendous final spirit of Alan Balma, the team started the season on a high note when it defeated Montclair College High School 27-28. Although they lost successive meets to Morristown was also the season in which the previous record time for Brookdale Park was shattered by a pair of Morristown runners and a pair of Delbarton runners and tied by the Aeademy's Pete Ehrenberg, next season's captain. A good cross country team must have sufficient depth. With Killgore, Ehrenberg, and Hare finishing near the top, its depth depended upon the determined running of Ted Flagg, and Rich La Bonte, who both improved as the season progressed. Losing two stalwarts, as this team did, was bound to hurt a team whose greatest problem was inexperienee. This, however, will not be a problem next year since all five harriers will be returning to better this year's 1-4 record. School 21- 34, Delbarton School 17-38, Rutgers Preparatory School 26-39, and Wardlaw School 22-33, the season had several outstanding efforts including captain Killgoreis con- sistently high finishes and inspirational leadership. Probably the high point of the season came when Greg Hare received the l0th place medal at the State Meet at Wardlaw.

Head Coach Carmen Marnell declared that this was the best team Iive had in my seven years of coaching here. The squad not only had an outstanding starting five, but also an excellent core of reserves. Captain of this year's squad was senior Mike Donnelly who averaged 14 points per game and excelled on defense. He became the hero of the second Newark Academy game, the first victory over Newark in three years, by completing a last second three point play. High scorer with a 21 point average was junior Jeff Silberfeld. With a fine jump shot he tallied 26 points in successive victories over College High and St. Bernards and exhibited flashydribbling ability. Completing the first unit were juniors Kerry Brown and Pete Ehrenberg and sophomore John Howland. Brown, at 6' 1 , was the team's leading rebound while Ehrenberg combined fine shooting and rebounding with excellent defense. Howald showed great promise as a scorer and High-scorer Jeff Silberfeld adds two more by eluding College High defender. 92 rebounder. The main reserves were Craig Cameron Jim Katz, Dave Levin, and Will Kuhlmann.

In the N.J.I.S.A.A. state championships, the team showed its ability by placing third in the overall standings while individual honors were won by almost every member of the team. The Academy's lone champion was captain Eliezer who earned first place honors in the 168 lb. class. Second place honors were won by Yamashita, Livesey, and Lax in their respective classes, while third places were achieved by Andre, Hennessy, and Hare. These champion- ships brought to a close a season that was marked with both success and failure but above all an optimism for next year. Experience Gained By Junior Wrestlers The junior wrestling team, under the direction of Head Coach Phillip R. Oksen, showed much promise in early season matches. The opening loss inflicted by Bound Brook may be attributed to a lack of experience, though Alan Yamashita. Ned Trippe, Landy Caprio, and the Deehan brothers, Gary and Gregg, all wrestled well.

With Harry Raker, Bob Moir, Howie Zuckerman, and Blake Traendly scoring the first points of the year in the Medley Relay -followed by firsts from captain Brant Switzler, Skip Degan, and Carter Fitz- patrick - the team jumped off to an encouraging start.

Individual Medley at the Eastern Interscholastic Swimming Championships held annually at the Lawrenceville School. Coach Piersol was greatly pleased with the spirit and attitude of the boys on the squad. Although the record was 3-5, he looks forward to next year with a team that will be older, stronger, faster, and one that will produce a greater share of victories. Clinics Nogues lnstructs Tennis Hopefuls In order to improve their tennis skills and prepare for the Woodford Memorial Cup Tournament, Mr. Nogues directed the 1963 tennis clinic. Mr. Nogues, the former Morristown varsity coach, instructed the boys in the techniques of serving and hitting the basic ,ground strokes. Many varsity tennis hopefuls participated in the activity this year, and it seems to be the general consensus that a considerable gain was made by participation in the clinic. In his free moments, Mr. Nogues directed the Wood- ford Cup Classic which had its largest number of entrants since the initiation of the event. 100 Right.

Bowling League Continued Under the spirited leadership of advisor Mr. John Greco, this yearis bowling program which met twice a week at the Bellclair Lanes improved immeasurably over previous years. A team consisting of Mark Geanette, Ronald Bruck, .T im Kuzmick, Bill Hewlett, and Bill Fries entered in the area championships, an innovation to the activity. The boys practiced diligently in the quest of the trophies to be given for the highest average at the end of the year. Bill Fries may be credited with the great deal of activity initiated into the program this year, as he acted as the unoiiicial captain of the sport. Trackmen Prepare for Spring The Winter Track squad, organized by Mr. Faye Farrar, this year was in its third season. A program for pre-season track conditioning, this small organization was without a faculty advisor, and the responsibility for its elliciency lay solely in the hands of its eight participants. The squad entered only one meet, at the Lawrenceville School, and its participation was merely for experience. Yet as in the past two years the early conditioning of the key men of the regular track team proved invaluable as the spring season progressed. Above.

Under the direction of Mr. Edwin Van Brunt, the participants followed a program of calisthenics, tumbling, isometrics, and basketball.
