MONTCLAIRION THE MONTCLAIRION MCMXXVI Published by CTHE SENIOR CLASS H OF THE M0NTCLA1R,STATE NORMAL SCHOOL JUNE, 1 26 i9ae Ij f MONTCLAIRION FOREWORD Because we feel that the two years which we have spent together as class- mates at Montclair were such happy, ne ' er-to-be-forgotten ones, we, the class of nineteen twenty-six, publish this book. We know there are mistakes, but it is human to err, so we have no apologies. Our only hope is that this copy of the Montclairion will help recall many pleasant memories of our beloved Alma Mater — Montclair. I|g f MONTC LAI RIOI Dedication To our principal, Harry A. Sprague, whose wise guidance and personal ex- ample, have inspired us with noble aims, we, the class of June 1926, re- spectfully and devotedly dedicate this issue of the Montclarion. HARRY A.

What ! You do not quite understand ! To you who have never known the joys of a gang feed or a surreptitious midnight banquet we offer our sincere sympathy. To you we will endeavor to explain the feeling of ninety-nine lucky girls who now live in Eddie Russ and enjoy its opportunities. Our government is an Honor Council whose duty it is to enforce and uphold the Constitution and its By-Laws. These girls (pictured above) are the present Councillors. They are elected to office by the girls themselves and rule until two weeks before the end of each term. The activities and privileges are many, the most popular being the dormitory dance, which is held each term. Our many parties and entertainments are con- trived by clever people to keep us in a happy frame of mind, to say nothing of our many guests, whom we are allowed to entertain at a nominal sum. Last, but not least, we are fortunate in our matrons. Both are women worthy of great commendation, who understand our moods, laugh at our sallies, ignore our noise and patch our bruises. What more could we ask? With great sorrow we leave your halls behind us, Eddie Russ, but your silence will be broken by the voices of the new girls, while the echoes of our escapades fade into memories of time that were. Adieu! THELMA SOMERS. MONTCLAIRION SSS !□ Jf lfMONTCLAIRION |j l MONTCLAIRION I gp S£s SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS In the Topaz W ' e feel just like the seers of o!d Who gazed in their crystal ball ; When deep into the Topaz we look And days at M. N. S. recall. We see a meeting held June 2, 1924, in Montclair ' s big assembly hall, where the class of ' 26 first met to take those gruesome things — entrance exams. What a relief when two weeks later we find that we have managed to get by ! Ah, now we are a part of M. N. S. and are ready for action — it is September. We are kept busy for a time getting acquainted with our entirely new atmosphere, but it does not take us long to learn to love our school and make up our minds to work for it. We have the honor of having Mr. Sprague come to our school al the same time we do. We get together for our first class meeting and elect our officers. Lee Canniff, Mae Ann Janiga, Flo Smith and Alice Cross pulled up through many a tight pinch in our first term. For the remainder of those first autumn months we are kept busy chasing bugs, gathering leaves and flowers, running up and down the soccer field, and other such work. It was during thi.-. season our ' 26 boys began to shine in basketball; the girls in soccer; the Up- g | MONTCLAIRION to-Date Club and Library Council in their activities ; the sororities in card parties and the Dramatic Club in plays. Do you wonder our Junior B days flew by so fast? And now we are Junior A ' s. Dotty Lane, Emma Osmun, Flo Smith and Dee McLean are our capable officers. We start out with lots of hard work, star- gazing and studying psychology and pedagogy far into the night and early in the morning. But that does not stop our Dramatic Club from continuing to give us some fine plays nor does it stop the boys from initiating the new boys into the Men ' s Club. Soon, too soon, we are giving a party and play as a farewell for Dr. Monroe, ' for, though we hate to see him go, he has decided to retire to his home in Ver- mont. Mr. Finley has arrived now to teach us psych and we do our best to make him feel at home by giving a party in his honor. During the spring months we have many well-known people instruct and entertain us — John Martin, little Richard Yeoman, Herman Haggerdorn and others. Are we not very lucky people? At this time, of course, all our activities are as lively as ever, boys ' and girls ' basketball and baseball and all club activities. We are now seen at various times digging gardens — how proudly we care for that precious handful of lettuce, onions, beans and sweet alyssum ! Maytime is here and, best of all, May Day. Milly Pierson makes just the right kind of a queen. A dainty play is being given out on our beautiful lawn and we entertain our parents and friends with folk dances and songs, and the boys surprise us with some tumbling stunts which their hard work and constant prac- tice made possible. The Topaz grows a little brighter, we have spent one happy year together and are now looked up to as those important beings — Seniors. Under the able leadership of Bobbie Lintner, Vera Truex, Ruth Ward and Elsie Kallen we are introduced to the new system of Ins and Outs. We look around and try to fathom it out because it ' s in awhile, out awhile, in awhile, out awhile or out awhile, in awhile, out awhile, in awhile. We miss our Dirty Man ' s these days, but the Clean Lady ' s proves a good substitute. Soccer, tennis, basketball, club activities, parties, and the usual gay times continue, and before we realize the fact the Outs are in and the Ins are out, and, then, in all too short a time Senior Week is upon us. We start that off with the faculty tea, at which we give a little schoolroom play, some music and new novelties to the teachers — organdie bouquets for the ladies and pongee hankies for the men. Another important feature of Senior Week is Class Day. If we do say so ourselves, we make a good crew of Gobs for the good ship M. N. S. The credit for our Class Day success is due to the committee headed by Shen Somers and our peppy Lookout, Dot Gulick, and all our songwriters. The Topaz turns a little misty because the Senior farewells are being said, but the class of June 1926 refuses to say Good-Bye — they leave dear M. N. S. with Au revoir. 1 1 ii 1H3 Ml m}- B B 11 J Jg fjMONTCLAIRION !□ KATHERINE FRANCES ADIE KAY General Cranford Always dependable, always gay, ' This the least %ve can say of Kay.

H= MONTCLAIRION Class Day On January 29th the Senior Class held its customary Class Day performance, which marked the close of the Senior B term. We feel that we put on a per- formance of the bigger and better type, and we hope it will be a credit to M. N. S. as well as to the Class of June, 1926. Under the guidance of our class artist the front of the assembly hall was converted into the deck of an ocean steamer — M. N. S. The officers of our class, Bob Lintner, Vera Truex, Ruth Ward and Elsie Kallen, were officers of our ship. The Class Day Committee, with Shen as chairman, took their places on board ship as deckhands. The other members of the class were sailors on M. N. S. The entire class marched into the assembly during the sailor ' s hornpipe. We were quite a sight to behold with our white hats, middies, and trousers contrasting with our scarlet ties. The keynotes to the entire performance were : All hands on deck! from Shen and Gentlemen, be seated! from Dot Gulick. By the war. we must not forget to mention the name of Dot Gulick in con- nection with Class Day. Dot, as the lookout in her specially constructed tower, was one of the shining lights of the whole performance. Her part will not be soon forgotten. Another person we must mention is Hazel McVoy, our song leader. In her blue sailor suit she made quite a hit, and as for our songs, we could not have sung them without her. The special acts numbered seven. The first was the anchor act when anchor was weighed for Charleston, S. C. This was preceded and followed by appro- priate songs. The second act was musical, in which six girls explained the new in and out system of shore leave. Shortly after this Dot Jensen, a stowaway, was found on board. The boys ' act was a brilliant success, with Dave as teacher and the boys as pupils. The} - gave a very clever takeoff on the procedure in Physical Ed. class. As soon as we reached Charleston we dropped anchor. Two natives were brought on board to give an exhibition of their famous dance. As twilight came on we had the moonlight acts. The first was a song and dance by the kinder- garteners, and the second was a group of songs by Glee Club girls. The last of the special acts was the dorm act or a reproduction of Senior Night. Just before the end of the performance merit badges in the shape of small wheels were awarded to those people who had won the class elections. They were : MONTCLAIRION Done most for the school — Boh Lintner. Most likely to succeed — Dave McLean. Best natured — Alice Heddy. Best sport — Vera Truex. Best dressed — Hazel McVoy.

Best all round — Shen Somers. Wittiest — Dot Jensen. Noisiest — Dot Gulick. Keenest sense of humor — Cecile Russell. Most dignified — Doris Maxson. Peppiest— Midge Hill. Favorite teachers — Miss Hovt and Mr. Meese. The last award, the wheel of the ship, was presented to Mr. Sprague, the real captain of M. N. S. Following the singing of our Alma Mater the sailors left the assembly, once more doing the hornpipe. GERTRUDE BLACHLY.

Barrett MONTCLAIRION The Student Council Alma Gahs President Hazel McVoy Vice-President Marian Fisher Secretary David McLean Treasurer The Student Government Association of Montclair State Normal School is an infant organization, having been inaugurated in February, 1925. Beside giving the students the opportunity for self-government, which tends toward a well organ- ized community, it aims to unify the many-sided life of the school; to constitute a medium for expressing the opinions of the students ; and to instill a high ideal of honor and co-operation that always will be a permanent asset to a Montclair graduate. Nine committees, whose members are chosen by the students, work with faculty advisors toward the perfection of the purposes of the organization. These committees are: Executive, Eligibility, Finance, Program, Service, Social, Cur- riculum, Bulletin Board and Publicity. The administration of its own government by the student body, through the council and committees, has become a real means of education in the principles of democracy, and tends to uphold that intangible but very real something known as the Montclair Spirit. MARIAN FISHER. □i I H MONTCLA1RION ' !□ MONTC LAI RIOl p Il The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club has been one of the active organizations of the school since September, 1923, when it was originated. The purposes of the Club are to promote an interest in dramatics and to provide entertainment for the school, and opportunities for dramatic expression and development among the students. The Council is composed of six members with Mrs. Humphrey as advisor. It is the Council ' s aim to endeavor to give as many members as possible- active work in the Club. Since its organization the Club has been instrumental in bringing outside artists and speakers to the school. Among the events may be remembered a talk on School Dramatics by Miss Henrietta Prentiss, of Hunter College, N. Y. ; a talk on costumes by Mrs. Channey Marsh, of Montclair ; a dramatic reading of Barrie ' s Rosalind, by Miss Agnes Futterer, of the State College at Albany, N. Y. During the present term a recital of Drinkwater ' s Abraham Lincoln was given by Miss Hortense Neilson. It is the general plan of the Club to give one play a month for its own mem- bers or for the school as a whole. A committee of members is chosen to take charge of producing the play. It is their duty to choose the play and characters and product it co-operation with the director. Mrs. Humphrey and the pre- siding President are always willing to be of assistance at any time, but the committee have proved always most capable and do much to uphold the success of the Club through their excellent work. Another interesting feature of our Club is the Dramatic paper, The Scrip. The members of the faculty, who are honorary members, join us at our socials and a pleasant afternoon is spent by all the members of the Dramatic Clu. The following plays have been produced by the Club during the fall term : At the Edge of the Wood, by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman. Flitter- mouse, by Mary Katherine Reely. The Deceivers, by William C. DeMille. Dust of the Road, by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman. The Enchanted Christ- mas Tree, by Percival Wilde. The Deceivers was prepared and coached entirely by the students and pro- duced at one of the socials. Dust of the Road was given at the Montclair Teachers ' Club at their Christmas Party ; and in The Enchanted Christmas Tree the Club enjoyed the co-operation of the Fifth Grade in the Demonstration School. The final event of the term was a very novel play. The entire cast was com- posed of the bovs of the school. It produces many a hearty laugh and was a great success. Much credit is due to the boys for their fine work and splendid school spirit in working out such an entertainment for the Dramatic Club. ig | MONTC LAI RION Glee Club The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss McKinley has as its main function the rendering of musical numbers at all graduation programs. But such occasions are not the only times that the Glee Club is heard. Many times it has sung in assembly for the pleasure of the students who, at such times, enjoy listening to both solo and group singing. Among these soloists might be listed Uretta Cox, Beatrice Hall, Ida Merkle and Aileen Unbehaun. In May the Glee Club furnished the music for our spring pageant ' ' Robin Hood. Great credit is due the Club for the fine work they did at this time. At rehearsals the Club practices numbers which will later be sung during Chorus by all the students. By doing this all are helped by having Glee Club members who know the music scattered throughout the student body. To Miss Fallie McKinley goes the credit for such an organization. All the students, as well as Glee Club members, realize and appreciate her efforts to make possible the Glee Club, of which M. X. S. is very proud. MONTCLAIRION Up-to-date Club An original and altogether novel organization known as the Up-to-Date Club came into existence at Montclair, February, 1925. The movement was initiated by Miss Florence Stryker and Miss Ella Huntting, who realized our need for more knowledge of the current events of the day. The constitution for this Club we submitted to the Student Government Council and a charter was granted on April 20, 1925. The first officers of the Club were Miss Mildred Mapes, President; Mrs. Elsie Bishop. Vice-President; Miss Katherine Adie, Secretary. Miss Huntting and Miss Stryker are our faculty advisors. Committees necessary for the carrying on of the work of the Club were then elected. The Bulletin Board Committee keeps the school in touch with import- ant events through the use of posters and bulletin board material. The Program Committee has for its particular work the presenting of special programs to the school during assembly periods. The activities of the organization have been felt to be a great benefit and help, not only to the students who joined the Chili, but to the student body as a whole. Many fine programs have been presented to the school as a result of the efforts of the Program Committee, and the Bulletin Board Committee has kept the school well informed as to special topics of interest in the outside world.

Therefore, in February, 1924, under the leadership of Helen O ' Connell, an organization was formed. The Council drew up a set of rules regarding the use of the library and its books. These rules have been carried out successfully to a great extent. For one period each week each member of the Council helps Miss Merville in the library by filing cards, placing the books on the shelves or doing whatever is most helpful. Mrs. Bridge, who for several years was the assistant principal of the school, and Mr. Sprague are honorary members of the Council. Miss Merville, through her untiring efforts, has helped make the work of the Council possible with the aid of Miss McKinney, our faculty advisor. g lhyiONTCLAlRION The Science Club Ena Bothwell President Elizabeth Wood Vice-President Ruth. Moore Secretary Miss Woodward, ' Miss Barrett and ' Miss Hurittirig . . . . ' ........ Faculty Advisors The Science Club has • held several meetings this term for the purpose of organization, during which time the members were enrolled. Both students and faculty are eligible for membership. The members consist of active and asso- ciate members, both of whom have equal voting privileges, but the associate mem- bers may not hold office. The active members are those who are vitally interested in Nature Study and Geography and are willing to expend time and effort in the furtherance of the aims of the club. The associate members are those who are unable to take an active part in meetings. The possibilities of this club are unlimited, because it has an exceptionally broad field in which to operate. The general activity of the club will be most interesting with topics pertaining to Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Zool- ogy and Nature Stud}-. The members of the club have enjoyed a hike to YYyanoke with Miss Wood- ward as their chaperon. We hope we shall have some similar experience in the near future. RUTH MOORE. MONTCLAIRION Literary Club Anne Coulter President Ruth E. Smith Vice-President Catherine Genthon Secretary Miss McKinney . Faculty Advisor At last ! Our patience has been rewarded. We have added to the great list of organizations in Montclair Normal a new and important one, which has been welcomed with open arms by the student body. We feel that the efforts expended in this new venture have not been in vain when we note the enthusiasm, the sincerity and the pride of our members. Though still in its infancy the club shows an exceedingly promising future, and plans are being carried out for its betterment. It is the aim of the club to unite its members more closely in all things literary and to give opportunity for the development and expression of any latent talent and budding genius in its members. The club unites in thanking the Seniors for their co-operation and extends its most sincere wishes for their future success. CATHERINE GENTHON. MONTCLAIRION Girls ' Athletic Association Marian Presby President Beatrice Brodhead Vice-President Ethel Eyre Secretary Marie Risso Treasurer Miss Duke and Miss Hepburn Faculty Advisors In the spring of 1925 the reorganization of the G. A. A. took place. The numeral system is the outstanding feature of its new constitution. At the end of each term a numeral and letter is given to every girl who has taken an active part in any of the interclass games. If, at the completion of her course, she has earned 300 points the school insignia is awarded to her. Immediately following reorganization baseball games were istarted. The Junior A ' s proved to be victorious and they challenged the faculty, who, for reasons unknown, failed to accept. Soccer season opened and such class spirit had never been shown before. This time the Senior B ' s came out on top. These games never will be forgotten by any of the participating classes. At the end of the second semester numerals were awarded to girls deserving them. It was a fine start and we hope the number will more than double itself next year. ALICE HEDDY. MONTCLAIRIOlfl BASEBALL MONTCLA1RION Boys ' Basketball Walter Jacob — Jake — Jake shared the honors of jumping center for the team last season and gained a rep for his sureness of shooting when getting set. Although not so active this season he is a loyal follower of the team. David McLean — Mac — This big boy is certainly a hard worker when play- ing and so far has been shifted to almost every position on the team. He has shone favorably in all, especially at forward, where it takes a pretty good guard to prevent his working passes and shots. (Ask Shen, she knows.) Stephen Moshier — Steve — Sound the bugle for here ' s the captain of that famous team. This is Steve ' s second year as captain. Climbing walls is his specialty and also making baskets, for it seems second nature for him to shoot the ball right in. Frank Shershin — Squawk — There isn ' t much of Squawk, but what there is certainly makes noise and works hard for the team. He is known as the quietest man on the team (by his own testimony). Squawk was manager of the team last season and certainly made a good job of it. Charles Travers — Charlie — Our sterling manager and guard is a true fighter from whistle to whistle and is not a bit backward in scoring his share of points. This dark boy is the noisiest on the team in direct contrast to Silent Shershin.

We started our eighth year with a bridge and a dance, which were espe- cially for the new students. Our next important dance was in the form of a rush which is always a source of delight to both old members and prospective pledgees. Four membership bids were given out and four girls were initiated on the third of November.

The high ideals and principles set by its predecessors are being maintained to the best of the ability of its active members. This fall we annexed five new members, making thirteen active members in all. Although this group is smaller than those in other terms it has been a group with the best of spirit working remarkably well for the interests of all. It is customary each year to have an annual reunion. This gives the almuni of our sorority an opportunity to keep in closer touch with their sisters. Our sorority is proud of its spirit and loyally. It is our hope that it may ever continue a friendly hand of welcome for all of the new schoolmates and a pleasant and helpful memory to the old.

Later this Club became Theta Pi Delta Sorority, but was not recognized as a school sorority, because at this time Dr. Chapin said there were to be no more sororities at M. S. N. S. Theta. in spite of this, led the membership for the Red Cross drive, and at an opportune time the president was sent to ask Dr. Chapin to recognize the sorority in the school. To this he gave his hearty consent. Since that time Theta has not only grown in membership, hut the members have always held to the standards which were first set up. M. SCHLUETER. W MONTCLAIRION = SS; The Sherwood Club Thelma Somers President Ruth Bradner Vice-President Audrey Lucas Secretary Mae Ann Janiga Treasurer There were eight girls in the fall of 1923 who, heing located near each other in boarding houses, decided to form a social club. These girls felt a great need for some such organization that would help to keep them together. Accordingly, on October 22, the eight girls met in the living room of Edward Russ Hall to discuss plans and to arrive at some conclusion. The thoughts of Robin Hood and his Merry A [en in Sherwood Forest presented many ideas of pleasure, so they decided to name the new organization The Sherwood Club, the sole purpose of which would be to give the girls pleasure and to give them a better chance of meeting each other and becoming better acquainted. From that time Sherwood has increased in membership and strength until it has become in its third year a strong, healthy, independent society with two chap- ters of the alumni. The Robin Hood Chapter is made up of girls in the Hacken- sack vicinity, and the King Richard of Newark girls. Men ' s Club Charles Travers President William Twichell Vice-President Ralph J. Holmes Secretary Mr. Meese Faculty Advisor Throughout the history of M. S. N. S. man have been a small but active minority. They have at all times taken a deep interest in the activities of the school. There existed, however, no permanent organization among them until the fall of 1925, at which time the Men ' s Club was organized. The Club has as its purposes the carrying on of investigations and discus- sions of educational problems met in public school supervision, and the creating of a feeling of fellowship. However, our memorable achievement was the carrying out of the Armistice Day program on November 11, 1925. The program was varied, but carried with it a note of solemnity fitting the occasion. Every member of the Club had an active part in it. The following were the topics discussed : The Significance of Armistice Day, followed by a two-minute silence in commemoration of our soldier dead; Montclair War Memorial, The World of 1918. The World Court. Present Day Conditions, Locarno Treaty and the reading of poetry. To Miss Stryker is due the credit for the success of our program.

Pick up a copy of that booklet you had printed a couple of months ago. Detach yourself from your business a moment and look at the printed piece as any one else would view it who had no interest in your proposition. Does it grip your interest immediately? Does it look right — from start to finish? Does it tell the sales story plainly — convincingly? Does it appeal to you with sufficient strength to make you want what is advertised therein? And finally, — do you think it is fair to you — to you, whose money paid for its publication? There is more to printing a folder or a booklet than merely the printing. Your messages should be you, in spirit, in wording, in illustration, in decency of dress. Because Printing is your representative away-from-home. We work with our customers in a very confidential contact, to pro- duce printing that produces business. Printing that is just to all concerned. May we not show you what can be done in this direction — by mail or a personal representation? No obligations on your part what so ever.
