LYNCH, Jr. - - FRANCES DAY LA CAMPANA Page Thirty ?5 f 954 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY I N the Fall of 1930, there came to Montclair one hundred and sixty-eight hopeful ' youngsters — the class of 1934. Decked In bright green berets and armbands, wearing large placards of identification, and carrying our books hopefully in straps, we were initiated into the routine of college life. Elections were, of course, one of the first important things to be taken care of, after sufficient persecution by the sophomores. William Leach was elected presi- dent, with Constance Sabatelli as vice-president, Ellen Tunis as secretary, and hlazel Audsley as treasurer. Soon came the assembly program — that rollicking operetta of life on a desert island, written by members of the class. In February, the class of 1934 started a precedent by having the Freshman Frolic a formal affair. Good music and the soft lights of Chapin ' s living room also helped to make the Freshman Formal one of the highlights of the year. The sophomore year began auspiciously under the leadership of Maurice Fried- man as president, Anna May Miller as vice-president, Nellie Johnson as secretary, and Margaret Reid as treasurer. Rule books and razzing the Freshmen occupied the first few weeks of school — but these w ere soon forgotten in plans for the Sophomore hlop. Chapin presented an unforgettable picture that evening, with its huge silver decorated Christmas tree sparkling under a brilliant light. Needless to say, every- one enjoyed himself thoroughly. In the meantime, many members of the class were proving their worth in ath- letics, dramatics, literature and music. Their fine workmanship will be long remem- bered at Montclair. The sophomore year closed with the election of Paul Caffrey as president for the junior year, Muriel Crawford as vice-president, Alice Dunne as secretary, and Philip Clamurro as treasurer. As juniors, the class of 1934 originated another precedent by a highly success- ful Hallowe ' en masque given in the gymnasium with the freshmen as honored guests. Everyone in school was allowed to attend; and variety of costume was the order of the evening. Then came the Junior-Senior Formal. This, too, was in the gymnasium — but the polar bears, icebergs, and igloos which decorated the room transformed it into an appropriate wintry scene. In March came hloliday, the Junior play. Able direction and capable acting made it an outstandingly fine production. The climax of the year was, of course, the Junior Prom, held in May in Chapin Hall. Soft lights, sweet music, and pleasant weather all helped to make the Prom a fitting end to this year of years. The senior year, although it divided the class during the terms of student teach- ing, was in many ways the best year of all. The Juniors entertained with a gala Junior-Senior Formal. The Seniors were hosts at the Senior-Almuni Dance. Senior week with its tea dance. Senior Play, Garden Party Reception, Ball, picnic and swim. Baccalaureate, — and finally graduation — was a splendid way in which to write Finis to four years spent at Montclair State Teachers College. Page Thirty-one MARY ACKERMAN Polly ' s reputation preceded her here, but she has managed to live it down despite her presidency of the Classical Club, her chairmanship of Chapin and her editorship of La Campana. She has en- livened the Latin majors by teaching them how to shoot Roman crap, and has amused her friends by her accounts of weekends at Colgate. She has a yen for Claude Hopkins and does him full justice v hen she dances. GERTRUDE ALEXANDER Gertrude is the tall golden-haired girl we see walking about the campus with a dreamy expression in her eyes. But don ' t let that fool you — she ' s wide awake. To prove It we cite membership in Aphesteon, League of Women Voters, Psychology and Science Clubs. Somehow, we never think of Sert without Muriel — they have been an insep- arable couple through four years at Montclair State Teacher ' s College. ROBERT ANDRUS Although a rather quiet and unassuming man. Bob is a very loyal Montclairite. hie is a student of the Math and Science departments and a mem- ber of both c ' ubs. Bob has also been a prominent member of the Choir and Pelican Staff since his Freshman days, hie has found time between all his activities to be a very efficient Photography editor. Page Thirty-two y. LA CAMPANA rji 1934 ADELAIDE A. APRS Adelaide is another transfer from Newark Normal, after an unusually active freshman year down there. She was a charter member of Gamma Theta Upsilon and was elected secretary-treasurer of that organization. She has been one of the lead- ing lights of the League of Women Voters and Contemporary Club. And can you ever remember having seen her without Betty? HAZEL AUDSLEY Hazel started off as treasurer of her freshman class and chairman of the tmance committee of the Student Council. As treasurer of the Student Council she was unusually successful and she has been outstanding as president of Kappa Delta Pi, and secretary of Rohwec. She has always been interested in Montclair, but have you noticed all the attention which she has been bestowing on the junior class for the past year? GWEN BABB Gwen has a genuine interest In her work. She knows the secret of right answers in Math, as evi- denced by the fact that she belongs to Aphesteon. As her membership in Kappa Delta Pi, Phrontister- ion, League of Women Voters, and her work for the Quarterly and La Campana will show, she is a person of many abilities, just as her activities In Chapin prove her ever ready for a good time. Page Thirty-three MARY F. BAEURLE Although Mary is one of our class ' best dressed girls, we have a feeling that she would always look neat and well groomed no matter what she was wearing. The neatness may be another evidence of the unfailing accuracy which she shows in math and science work, both in class and in the clubs which sponsor those interests. She has also been a member of the Commuters ' and Contemporary clubs and the Newman Club. BETTY BAILEY To N. J. C. we give thanks for letting Betty come to us as a junior. At N. J. C. Betty sang in the Glee Club and was active in the Spanish Club and the League of Women Voters. Betty ' s still interested in Spanish, as she was a member of our Spanish Club. She showed her Interest and ability in art by being a charter member of the Art Club. We musn ' t forget to mention too, that Betty has a great big weakness for Lehigh. MAE T. BALLINGER Mae was one of the organizers of the Archery Club and could be seen during all her free hours wandering about with a bow and arrow. Although she has been very busy with work outside of school during most of her four years at Montclair, she has found time to enter into the activities of Math, Italian and Commuters ' Clubs and has done con- sistently good school work. Page Thirty-four ' A LA CAMPANA Y. 1954 CATHERINE BELL Kay is another French major who spent last year in France and has brought back many interesting tales to tell. The success of the Basque Festival was due largely to her work on the dance and sales committees, and Le Cercle Francais learned much about French songs while she was chairman of its music committee. That she is also interested in present day America is shown by her membership in International Relations, Psychology and Con- temporary clubs and League of Women Voters. MARY BELL Mary is the girl who, according to a member of the English faculty, has one of the most spiritual faces he has ever seen, and after seeing her as the Madonna in the Christmas play of two years back we cannot but agree. She is also a success in practical affairs, as witness her treasureship of Aldornia, chairmanship of Junior publicity and work for Esotericon, Commuters ' Club and Creative Writing Club. MAJORIE BERDAN Marge is our class ' prize blonde whose hair is made even more effective by the contrast which it makes with that of her brunette friends. She has endeared herself to us by her unvarying good humor and sportsmanship. Her affiliations with any clubs have been loyal ones — witness her member- ship in Esotericon, since its first days of organiza- tion, and her interest in the activites of Omicron Kappa Gamma and Opera Study and Commuters ' clubs. Page Thirty-five V. LA CAMPANA MARGUERITE BOISSEVAIN We wonder what would happen: If Ben were not intelligent — If she did not have an outstanding athletic ability — If she found very much time to study — If she were not at all popular — If she were not a very attractive girl — If she hadn ' t been elected President of the Women ' s Athletic Association — If she were not a cheerleader at all the games — If she hadn ' t received her black eye — All I can say is — It wouldn ' t be Ben. DOROTHY F. BOLTON Fay is one member of our class, who has been unfailingly prepared. She was the savior of many an embarrassed class silence — and the shining light of the English and hiistory departments. Withal, she always seems to be having a wonderful time. hHave you noticed those discussion groups noon hours? You ' ll find Fay there willing to help one who ' s been doing his talking just to be heard. She has been active In Phrontlsterion, and women ' s sports as well as Commuters ' Club. NATALINA BOVOLI Natalie is a little girl with great big ambitions. She spent last year in Germany absorbing culture in a big way — and she ' s ready to tell of a great many experiences about that sojourn abroad. She has a confederate who ' s enough like her to be a twin, Sadie Engle. FHave you ever seen one without the other? They even went to Germany together — and now they ' re the mainstay of Der Deutsche Vereln. Natalie also gives some of her precious time to forwarding the language of her forebears, Italian. Page ' Xh.utysix Y. 1934 EILEEN J. BROWN Eileen is a very quiet person but those who Icnow her well are proud to have her friendship and speak of her as a most interesting companion. She has proved this last to those who have belonged to the same organizations as she: Contemporary Club, which she served as secretary, Clio, the Freshman Girl ' s Chorus, League of Women Voters, and Opera Study Club. CLAIRE R. BUCKLEY One of the Irish in our midst who has always managed to get along without fighting, Claire has identified herself with Classical, Dramatic and Com- muters ' clubs, and Esotericon. For two years she has been a member of the Dramatic Club Council and who will ever forget her production of The Warrior ' s hlusband ? She has rounded off her record by serving on the social committee of the senior class and helping to make senior functions succeed. DOROTHY BUTTERWORTH Last year ' s loss was this year ' s gain, as far as Dorothy is concerned, and we ' ve certainly been glad to have her in our class. She proved her ability In school by winning a fellowship to study In Vienna for a year; anyone hearing the Interesting McLean-Butterworth piano duets can testify to Dot ' s musical ability while Der Deutsche Verein and Commuters ' Club can offer plenty of evidence for her conscientiousness and loyalty. Page Tliirty-seDeii PAUL L CAFFREY After being president or captain of nearly everything in his high school days, Paul continued to be outstanding throughout college, hie has been invaluable to athletics, dramatics, class affairs, Senate, Dramatic Club, and the yearbook. As president of his class in his junior year, as secretary of the Senate, as literary editor of the year book he has made a name for himself. And we mustn ' t forget his personal debt to Montclair. LUCILLE M. CALHOUN One of our outstanding history majors, Lucille has worked for Clio and Rohwec, being a member of the social committee of the former and the pro- gram committee of the latter. Last year ' s May Festival owes much of its success to her effort as does the humor staff of the Pelican. She has earned her numerals in hockey, basketball, and baseball and has been a faithful member of the Opera Study Club. TONY CERNIGLIARO A smooth dancer, very popular with the female contingent of Montclair, the man who knows all the jokes coming and going, and all in all, just the nicest person. Tony has been the leading tenor in the Choir, the pride and joy of both the language department and the Dramatic Club. He was the mainstay of the Dramatic Club Council and the Make-Up Staff. Page Thirty-eight y. LA CAMPANA Yi 1934 JANE CHAPMAN If we judged Jane from her recitations in classes, we would be sure that she spent every minute of her time reading all sorts of obscure research, for she certainly knows more about any given subject than any five of her class-mates. hHowever, she has also proved to be a vocalist through her singing in the Glee Club and has participated whole heart- edly in the activities of Physchology, Commuters ' , Creative Writing clubs and Clio. GLADYS CHRISTIE Gladys has an unusually close connection with last year ' s freshman class which has received most of her interest since the fall of ' 32. Her campus activities have been connected mainly with her major fields, math and science, and she has been a member of the clubs which are associated with those studies. She is one member of our class who, we are sure, will be sorry when she is graduated. PHILIP CLAMURO Phil is distinguished by his good humor and gen- erosity, hlis friends can always rely on him to help them out of tight spots. Clammy has been in- terested in athletics during his four years at Mont- clair. He was manager of football this year and football coach in the College High School. To complete his versatility, he is a member of Aphes- teon and Kappa Delta Pi. Page ThiTty-ninf FLORENCE CLARK Flo is one of the mosf cheerful and happy-go- lucky girls in Eddie Russ Hall. Always willing to do a kind deed to help you out of a scrape, whether it is for having blown a fuse out or stayed out too late, she is truly a good Samaritan. Her Upsala connections, work on the Publicity staff, and con- stant naps, keep her busy. RUTH CLEVELAND Ruth has always seemed to be having a good time, whether in classes, at club meetings, singing or playing the piano. This last ability of hers made her a useful part of the College Orchestra through- out her freshman year. She has been a faithful member of Commuters ' and Psychology clubs, Eso- tericon and Clio; and did you know that she is one of Montclair ' s most skillful needlewomen? CHARLOTTE D. COLLINS We will always remember Charlotte for her successful teaching of Dr. Glenn ' s senior science course. Indeed, ' her scientific abilities have been appreciated fully by the Science Club which she served as vice-president and as chairman of its program committee. She has been an active member of the Student Council and the Women ' s A. A., as well as being secretary of the Dance Club. Page Forty V. LA CAMPANA 1954 MURIEL CRAWFORD This sprightly and entertaining member of the class is well known in several fields — whether it be athletics, literary endeavor or psychology. As vice-president of the Junior Class, and a member of the Business Staff of the Quarterly she has done her work very effectively. Her social attributes are equally agreeable and she made a very charming attendant in the train of the May Queen last year. MARIE NATALIE DALTON Marie is a Math student, first, last, and always, and she has given it her time out of class as well as in. She was a most conscientious chairman of the Math Club Social Committee, and arranged for that organization ' s most successful chicken chowder suppers. Opera Study and Contempor- ary clubs also have occupied her time, as well as the League of Women Voters. FRANCES DAY Frances is the girl with the lovely red hair. She has been publicity editor of the Pelican for two years, and had a lot to do with the successful Junior Show and May Day. She is active in Le Cercle Francais, Phrontisterion and the Commuters ' Club of which she was secretary. And this year she is treasurer of the Senior Class. Page Forty-one JULIE A. DE MEYER Julie is one of the Frenchiest of our foreign language students, having spent one year in France, and having served as treasurer and vice- president of the French Club. She has been one of the Opera Study Club ' s most assiduous mem- bers, and has been interested in all Commuters ' Club activities. Her black hair speaks for her French ancestry. THERESA DEVEREAUX Although, from Theresa ' s name, we would expect to find her a foreign language major, she Is, in reality, one of our most enthusiastic math and science students. She combined these two Inter- ests by acting as treasurer of Science Club and was also a member of Math Club. Aside from these pursuits, she was interested In the activities of Italian and Dance clubs, the League of Women Voters, and reported for the Pelican. MARION DOBSON Marion spent her freshman and sophomore years at Peterson Normal where she was vice- president of her class, president of the Psychology Club and Book and Pen Club and a councilor on the student government. At Montclair, she has been a member of Contemporary and Opera Study Clubs, was elected to Kappa Delta PI, and .vas instrumental In the founding of Gamma Theta Upsilon. Page Forty-two y. LA CAMPANA r 1934 BERNARD DORFMAN Montclair will always be grateful to Duke for sending us Bernie in his sophomore year, for since then he has been one of our leading athletes. Basketball has been his special field but he has labored long and faithfully for the Men ' s A. A. and has been one of the more successful sports con- tributors to the Pelican. And we mustn ' t forget his activities as a member of Agora. MARGARET DUNN Margaret ' s name will always be associated first with the Pelican in which she has worked for four years and been such an excellent copy editor and associated editor. But Kappa Delta Pi and Aphes- teon have also claimed her attention as have Dance, Math, Commuters ' and Science clubs, and the piece of work as property chairman of last year ' s League of Women Voters. She did a splendid May Day Festival, and has distinguished herself in volley ball and basketball. ALICE DUNNE For such a diminutive person Alie has made an unusual record in school, sport and club work. As proof of the first we offer her secretaryship of Aldornia and vice-presidency of Kappa Delta Pi; to substantiate the second, we cite her excellent record in hockey, basketball, tennis, and her mem- bership in the Women ' s A. A. council, and for the third, we haven ' t room enough here to list clubs of which she has been an active member. Page Forty-three ELLA EDSALL Eila was a ' oackwoodswoman but when the Peg- gys were finished with her, she looked like a New York debutante. She is always working, yet manages to play baseball and basketball and participates in Contemporary, Italian, Opera Study, and Psy- chology Clubs and Esotericon. In spite of her left-handedness, she manages to write notebooks which are the pride of the English department. But her favorite pastime Is ice-skating in Hamburg with the right onion. SADIE ENGEL Sadie has no thought but for German. Indeed, we are always surprised to hear her speak English — it seems incongruous for her to talk, think or be anything but a real German frauleln. She seems to have derived an unusual amount of real foreign culture from her one year in Germany and has always distinguished herself as a really earnest student. MARY ENNIS Mary came here as a transfer from St. Elizabeth ' s College, to our benefit and their loss. Quiet yet charming, Mary stayed a reserved person during the time she spent here, but when people could break through her reserve, they found her a de- lightful and sympathetic friend. Mary was one of our history majors, but instead of confining herself to one Interest, she showed herself to be Interested in many other things too. Page Forty-four LA CAMPANA V. Yi 1954 ALICE M. PARDON Alice has devoted most of her time and energy to scientific pursuits and will always be associated in our minds with the college laboratories. Science Club has been her chief extra-curricular activity and she served as president and as chairman of its nominating committee. She was also a member of Commuters ' Club and manages to be an interesting companion without talking shop. EVELYN FARINA Evie is half of our favorite campus couple and withal a good friend and a grand sport. She has won her bar in basketball, served in the Women ' s A. A. council and was sports reporter to the Pel- ican. As a member of her junior and senior class social commit+ees she was responsible for many successful dances and parties and she was pro- gram chairman of the League of Women Voters and a member of the Dramatic Club. JEANETTE FEIERSTEIN We have in Jeanette a combination of ideal traits for the successful teacher. She Is conscien- tious, ambitious, studious, and versatile — witness her membership In the Philosophy, International Relations, and Dramatic Clubs. She accomplishes much, tries to excel, and generally succeeds, hier abundance of A ' s and her presidency of Rohwec and Clio have earned her an enviable position among Social Studies majors. Withal, Jeanette Is the attractive, well-dressed, and popular co-ed. Page Forty-five HENRIETTA FISCHER When the idea of founding an honorary geog- raphy society was first talked of, hienrietta was one of its most enthusiastic advocates, was charter member of Gamma Theta Upsilon. She knows more about this subject than almost anyone else in school and is constantly reading about geograph- ical discoveries whenever she can find material about them. Commuters ' , Contemporary clubs, League of Women Voters have received as much attention as she could spare from her first love. CARL FIX Carl transferred to Montclair in his junior year and since then has been making up for lost time. He is one of our outstanding tennis players and has been on the varsity tennis team as well as his class football team, hie was also a member of the Men ' s A. A. hHis acceptance into the orchestra speaks for his musical ability while his membership in Math Club testifies for his scholastic achieve- ments. MARGARET FLANZBAUM No girl who lived in the dorms during the fall term, ' 33- ' 34 will ever forget Marge ' s interesting account of some of her experiences in France last year. Upon her return, she was elected president of the French Club and was re-accepted into the Choir. She has been a member of the varsity de- bating team and served on the nominating com- mittee of the Debating League. Page Forty-six LA CAMPANA y. 1934 LOIS FORNOFF Lois spent her first year at Newaric Normal where she was a member of the dancing and swimming clubs but to see her around Montclair, we would never think that she wasn ' t a native. She was in charge of the entertaining dramatic presentations of last year ' s May Day Festival and a member of the Social Committee and Clio. Both last year and this she taught dancing in the College High School and certainly did a successful job of it. ELOIS FOWLER As a freshman, Elois was outstanding for the amount of time she spent in studying, but since then she has entered more and more into the extra- curricular activities until she can now be ranked among our most active girls. She was one of the charter members of Esotericon and has devoted much time to French, Psychology and Contem- porary clubs and League of Women Voters with- out neglecting the splendid school record which she established in her first year. DOROTHY FRANK Dot has always been noted for living up to her last name, though she has never done so offens- ively. She has been outstanding in Dramatic Club productions — remember Love for Love ? — and was one of the original members of the publicity staff. As program chairman of the League of Women Voters, as a member of Phrontisterion, and Opera Study Club, and as a player of baseball and hockey, she has proved her versatility. Page V ort- j-sevt-n HERBERT FREED Here ' s to Herbie, the mathematical wizard, the musician, and last but not least, the dancer, hler- bie has well proved his ability in other lines, being a member of Aphesteon, the Orchestra, String Quartet, manager of Basketball and Intra-Mural Athletics, hierbie with his little giggle makes everyone laugh with him no matter if the pun is good or bad. LAURA FREUND Laura is the petite little girl who causes a stir among the male population wherever she goes, hier dancing is something to be remembered. But she surprises us by showing an Interest in athletics, and a prowess at solving math problems. Laura is also to be found at science meetings and is always interested in scientific problems and theories that baffle other people. MAURICE FRIEDMAN Agora claims him as the best secretary the club has known — Kappa Delta Pi claims him as one of its foremost members — the students claim him as one of the best dancers in the class — As for his personality and popularity, they speak for them- selves — . There is not much more to be said. Maurie, with his spirit and good nature will suc- ceed anywhere. Page Forty-eight LA CAMPANA A Y. 1934 MARGARET GAIL Pouf may come from Merchantville, but she knows her way around. She regularly leaves her best coat on trains, but as regularly gets it back. Through her associate-editorship of La Campana, she brought a good amount of business to the Mad Hatter, where she spends most of her time. She has an unusual soprano voice, an unusual danc- ing style, and does an unusual amount of work, even for one her size. ALICE MAUDE GASKILL Aside from satisfying the starved appetites of her dorm-mates with her delectable stock of candy and crackers, Alice Maude has established a very effective floating library by obtaining the books which all Chapin needs for education courses. Her r.istory outlines are invariably complete and ready for reference while her advice on Latin is always available. She has been active in much club work and plays a good second fiddle in the college or- chestra. EILEEN GIBSON Although Eileen ' s chief reputation concerns her dancing ability, she has been associated with many other activities at Montclair. In spite of her di- mlnutiveness, she ranks amo ng our leading all- ' round women athletes, and was one of the instigators of the natural dancing movement up here. She has been a member of the Commuters ' Club and the League of Women Voters. We will never forget her charming performance in last year ' s May Day Festival. Page forty-nine MARIE L GOETSCHIUS Marie ' s performance in Holiday will always be one of the high spots in our memories of Mont- clair, as well as her prodigious notebooks for English courses. As chairman for her class ' hand book committee, she effectively laid down the law to the freshmen; as an athlete, she won her numerals and bars in volley ball and tennis; as an actress she was outstanding in her class plays, and in several French plays. ESTHER GOLDBERG Very unobtrusively Esther ' has gone through Mont- clair and has made her presence felt in quiet ways. As a member of Opera Study, French and Com- muters ' clubs and Esotericon, she has been ever will- ing to do any work which she was asked to do. And did you know that many of those really lovely clothes that Esther wears so well are the work of her own needle. GLADYS GOLDENBURG Although seemingly rather quiet upon first ac- quaintance, Gladys reveals herself to her friends as a person of unlimited surprises, endowed with a remarkable sense of humor and an inexhaustible supply of parlor tricks. Gladys ' versatility was to be seen in her costuming of last year ' s Junior May Festival, her membership in Clio, Psychology Club, League of Women Voters, and the V omen ' s A. A. Council. Page fifty V. LA CAMPANA ji r 954 GRACE GOODNOW Though quiet, reserved, and unassuming in man- ner, Grace has made a place for herself at Mont- clair. With history as her chief interest, she has led Clio in one of its most successful years, as its pres- ident. She is one of the most important and active members of Rohwec as well as a mainstay of the Commuters ' Club. Math also occupies much of her time. MILTON H. GORDON Milt is the rather tall gentleman with the black curly hair — who wields a mean tennis racquet for the benefit of M. S. T. C. and for those who con- fine their outside activities to hurling remarks from the peanut gallery at this, one of our best courts- ters. We ' ve a suspicion that he ' s one of the reasons for the unusual feminine gatherings both at the tennis courts and about the college store where many an interesting discussion, scholastic and other- wise, has ensued. EVELYN GRAPATIN This conscientious girl with the mass of blonde hair is another one of our most outstandingly bril- liant students. She has lent her presence to Glee Club, Omicron Kappa Gamma, Clio and Psychol- ogy Club besides participating actively In Peli- can work and in Rohwec. And that pile of letters which is always waiting for her in the college of- fice means that she is corresponding secretary of Kappa Delta Pi. Page Fifty-one LEONARD L. GROSS For a philosopher, Len has distinguished himself in surprisingly many earthy pursuits. As president of the Philosophy Club, and a mennber of International Relations Club, he has proved himself one of our intellectuals; as assistant editor of the Pelican, and a member of the Publicity Staff, he demonstrated his journalistic abilities; as a member of the casts of our Sophomore Christmas Play, and the Junior Show, he ranked among our best actors; all in all, he is one good sport. EVA GERALNIK The Pelican has known Eva as one of its foremost reporters, as she always gets her news and gets It accurately. She has refused to limit her interests to any one field of endeavor, having been equally active In Math Club, French Club and Esotericon. Her school record has also been consistently good and we hear that she made a fine Impression during her practice teaching period. MARY HARDMAN Of course you know that Mary and Peggy are the same person. Mary wrote literary contribu- tions to the Pelican but It was Peggy whom we elected president of Esotericon. Although she Is an earnest, hard-working student Peggy doesn ' t neglect the social life of M. S. T. C. Remember her as the Red Queen at the Junior hlallowe ' en Party? By the way, wasn ' t the orchestra good at the above mentioned party? We think so, too, Peggy. Page Fifty-two LA CAMPANA 1 l 1934 MAY HART May has gone in for almost every type of sport at Montclair, including hockey, basketball and baseball, and was a member of the Women ' s A. A. council. She was elected to Clio in her sophomore year and since then has been one of the most ac- tive member of that organization. League of Women Voters, Omicron Kappa Gamma, Math, Commuters ' and Contemporary clubs have also oc- cupied much of her time. ELIZABETH HATHAWAY Betty spent her first three years at Wellesley where she made an outstanding record. She re- ceived Freshman and Wellesley scholastic honors, played hockey and tennis, swam and danced, hier participation in Red Cross and relief work occupied much of her time and she was also a reporter for the Wellesley News and acted in several plays. Here she has evidenced her even temper upon all occasions — but just watch her when she is called Anne. ELLA HAVER Ella ' s cherry hiello is now well-known in Chapin. It is always the same, Just as is Ella. There is a pleasantness and cheerfulness in this greeting that typifies its owner. Ella is ever ready and willing to do all she can for others. She divides her time between math and science, church work in Newark and Montclair, and soothing the rumpled spirits of Chapin ' s excitable inmates. Page Fifty-three EVELYN HELMERS Evelyn has shown an unusual versatility in her four years here, evidencing interests in dramatics, art, and literary work. Much of the success of college plays has been due to her ability at make- up; much of the attractiveness of La Campana has been due to her work as art editor; and much of the quality of the Pelican and the Quarterly has been due to her valuable contributions. And she has billed much attention at social affairs. FRANCES HELMIG it is unbelievable that the Fran of the curls, little girl ' s dresses, and lollipops is the same Fran who is the successful financier of Kappa Delta Pi, and an active member of Aphesteon. This same little girl plays volley ball, basketball and baseball en- thusiastically and well. What ' s more, she loves to dance, whether it be social dancing, clogging or natural dancing. ALVINA HESS Alvina will certainly have no disciplinary prob- lems when she teaches as she had plenty of prac- tice in enforcing order as monitor of Chapin ' s fourth floor during her sophomore year. And she was one of the most efficient officers with whom that dormitory was blessed. She has devoted much of her time to athletics, playing basketball, baseball and hockey, while she has been interested in the Psychology Club, the League of Women Voters and the Pelican. Page Fifty-four LA CAMPANA Yi 19 54 DOROTHY R. HIGHTON Dot is one of the best arguments for our having a music major course than almost any other. Un- like most of Montclair ' s songbirds, she continued her membership in the Glee Club even after she was admitted to the Choir. She also sang in the Women ' s Double Quartette and has one of the loveliest voices we have heard hereabouts. How- ever, she is certainly not one-sided and her interests have included hockey, Psychology Club and Eso- tericon. EMILY HILL Emily is the fourth of that quartette of dancers which has consistently electrified Montclair with its new and difficult steps. She is also an avid mathe- matician, and is interested in all current events as her membership in Math Club and the League of Women Voters proves. She has been present at all Montclair ' s social affairs, and has done much to make them successful. HENRIETTA HILTON Although hienrietta ' s first bid for our attention was made by her very good looking clothes, she has distinguished herself in many other ways. On the refreshment and program committees of the Classical Club, she proved a real classical enthusi- ast. She has also been active in French, Italian, Psychology, Commuters ' , Philosophy clubs and Phrontisterion. Despite all that, she has yet to arrive for her first period class at 8:45! Page Fifty-five CHARLOTTE MOVING Charlotte certainly has kept busy during her four years at Montclair, having been a member of Glee Club, Psychology Club and Esotericon. She was secretary of the Opera Study Club in her Junior year as well as an active worker on the college publicity staff, and when eight girls were chosen from the school at large for the women ' s double quartette, Charlotte was one of them. CLARA JILLARD Clara has exhibited her ability in math as treas- urer of the Math Club in her junior year and as President of Aphesteon. She Is the girl with the curly brown hair and the pleasant smile who seems to be a very serious and quiet girl when she ' s Clara — but just watch her when she changes her coat and becomes the Twinnie of Chapin. ALICE M. JOHNSON And here ' s another of the famous Johnsons. Alice is the darkest of the clan, and an enthus- astic Spanish student. She spent a year at Madrid with Ruth M. And has many interesting experi- ences to tell of that sojourn In foreign parts. hHer other interests lean toward music. She has been a member of the Glee Club and the Opera Study Club. The Women ' s A. A. has also appreciated her work while she was a member of that group. Page Fifty-six LA CAMPANA y. 1954 NELLIE JOHNSON Nellie ' s charming performance of The Char was one of the most notable things about Montclair ' s first natural dance recital. She was secretary of her class, sophomore year, and represented the class in assembly programs during her first three years. She also served as secretary of the Opera Study Club, and was a member of Omicron Kappa Gamma Glee Club, Italian Club and Esotericon. RUTH HELEN JOHNSON To those who find it practically impossible to distinguish between the Johnsons on campus let it be known that this is she who has always been able to find that reference book you wanted in the library, hler accuracy has been demonstrated also in mathematical fields and In the orchestra as well as by her work as an assistant on the Pelican. RUTH M. JOHNSON Despite the Anglicism of Ruth ' s name, Spanish is her forte, and she spent her third year at the University of Madrid, acquiring a real Spanish accent and verve. While here, she has served as secretary, treasurer, vice-president and president of the Spanish Club. She was a member of the girl ' s chorus, and Glee Club. Be careful not to confuse her with Alice of the same family name, a Spanish enthusiast, and her best friend. Page Fifty-seven DOROTHY KAMACK Dot has achieved reknown through her unique singing of 1890 songs in a voice which gained her admittance to the choir and presidency of the Glee Club. As treasurer of Edward Russ hiall and the Glee Club and as chairman of last year ' s spring concert, she has demonstrated her financial ability, and by her chairmanship of the sophomore com- mittee on freshman control and her membership in different clubs, she has proved her versatility. WILFRED H. KELLEY The business manager of La Campana has proved his ability in many lines of endeavor. He was one of the important members of last year ' s Junior Show cast, an active member of the Dra- matic Club, and has been the mainstay of the Choir ' s bass section for four years. The unusual success of Montclalr ' s unique Ice Carnival, two years ago, was largely due to his splendid man- aging of that affair. JANE KELLY As a freshman, Jane believed in spending most of her time in studying, but since then, the Montclair air has inspired her to mix club activities with her scholastic interests. She was elected to Clio in her sophomore year and has been one of the more active members of Commuters ' and Psy- cology clubs and Phrontisterion as well as working on the nominating committee of Clio. Page Fifty-eight ' A LA CAMPANA Yi 1954 MURIEL KESTNER A very vivacious little brunette diligently divid- ing her time between the science laboratories and the library — this is Muriel. We adnnlre Muriel for her ambition and ability to settle down to hard work with a cheerful smile. However, studies do not claim all of her time for she is an active mem- ber of the League of Women Voters, Psychology, Philosophy, and Science Clubs. JOHN KIRCHOF John is that German and Math enthusiast who transferred from the Newark College of Engineer- ing to Montclair in his sophomore year and since then, has been surveying every available inch of campus territory. He has always been Interested In International affairs, and he spent last year in Germany, where he wrote some of the most Inter- esting letters which we have read from any of our exchange students. MARGARET KNOELLER This Peggy Is the taller of our class ' s most fam- ous pair. She and Peggy Oliver have been friends through grammar school, high school, and room- mates in Chapin. League of Women Voters, Psy- chology, and Contemporary Clubs have claimed the interest of the darker twin while she has also distinguished herself as secretary of Chapin. The two Peggys have one of the best-looking rooms in the dormitory, which they protect with a Private- Keep Out! sign. Page Fifty-nine AGNES KNOETGEN Here ' s another Latin major who finds time to enjoy the activities of the Commuters, Contem- porary, and International Relations Clubs. Not only is Agnes interested in these clubs, but she is also interested in friendship. Have you ever seen her without her three pals — Helen, Agnes, and - eg. ' A d elicious sense of hur and istible giggle — that ' s Agnes. Then, too, have you heard the famous Knoetgen puns? ' pun my word! ELIZABETH M. KONOW Elizabeth came to Montclair from Newark Normal in her sophomore year, but unlike many students who transfer from other schools, she lost no time in acclimating herself and entering Into the swing of things. She was elected to Kappa Delta PI, and was president as well as a charter member of Gamma Theta Upsilon. Contemporary Club and Clio have also appreciated her membership and conscientious interest. WALTER KOPS Even those who have not classifosslllzed with Walt will not soon forget him as he appeared on the tennis court, as he wrote up sports for the Pelican, and as he labored to put over a dozen or so Foreign Exchange enterprises. But his year in Germany was probably the big single event for Walt, and we have not yet forgotten those letters he wrote us from Europe. Page Sixty A LA CAMPANA Yi 19 34 JOHN KOWALSKY Here ' s a science major who can activate us with his violin into a purely vaporous condition and yet leave no muddy residue. To add to the strange- ness of the artist-scientist combination, John de- cided to get himself a job on the Quarterly staff and got it. We suspect he likes the sound of the words Professor Kowalsky and we agree with him — they will ring out very musically in that day to be. CAROL LAFFERTY Carol certainly uses her privilege of changing her mind, making about five different plans for one week-end within ten minutes. She is one of those happy-go-lucky souls who do what they please, and when everybody Is worried about them, say, I ' m sorry. I thought you knew. She has been active in Dramatic, Psychology, and Opera Study Clubs, Esotericon and League of Women Voters. And she makes a lovely angel. JEANNETTE LAMBERT Jeannette ' s frequent diets have afforded her friends much amusement, but she has done many other things at Montclair aside from acquiring will power. She has been largely responsible for the success of many Chapin dances, as well as being a mainstay of the Choir ' s soprano section. She has been active on the basketball, baseball, and volley ball fields, and she is a member of the Glee Club, Phrontisterion, the League of Women Voters and the Dramatic Club. Page Sixty-one MARTHA LANDAU Although Martha ' s chief interest lies along mathematical and scientific lines, she has always been curious about the affairs of the world and has been one of the most enthusiastic members of the International Relations Club. She is one of our best volley ball players, and knows enough about that sport to make an excellent coach and referee. And, of course, she has been an active member of both Math and Science clubs. ELIZABETH LARSON This year ' s freshmen may remember Elizabeth as one of the proctors at their entrance exams. She is a member of the Math Club and was largely responsible for that very successful supper hike given by that club during her own freshman year. She has worked on the Pelican and has been a mem- ber of the Psychology, International Relations and Contemporary clubs, as well as Clio and the League of Women Voters. GEORGE LAVENDA In 1930, we sized George up as a mere book- worm, but we ' ve been shown our mistake, hie did a masterful job of practice-teaching this year, and is leaving behind him a real record in extra-cur- cicular fields: editor of the Quarterly, vice-presi- dent of Aldornia, president of the Philosophy Club. George will always be a surprise to his acquaint- ances and a delight to his friends. Page Sixty-two LA CAMPANA 1 r 934 BILL LEACH A smooth dresser, a good athlete, and a grand friend to have — that ' s Bill. In his Freshman year. Bill was president of his class. Since then he has been a devoted slave to football. He was Presi- dent of the Men ' s A. A. and active in intra-mural basketball. Needless to say, there have been lots of other interests for Bill, especially this past year. ULA LEVIN Ula ' s temper is at direct variance with the spil-it of her red hair. She is one of our most logical history majors, and as a member of Clio ■ and Rohwec demonstrated her ability and willingness to do any piece of historical research, - er interests are many and diverse including membership in Phrontisterion, Opera Study Club, Commuters Club. And everybody says she ' s a swell kid. MARION LILLYBRIDGE If you would hear the latest joke, an original pun, an imitation of the people of note Including her famous Metropolitan Opera namesake (Lily Pons), all about the best movie in town or an imitation of its actors, hunt up Marion. As an inhabitant of Eddie Russ hiall, she Is always willing to share a toasted cheese sandwich and throw in the famous Lillybrldge wit for seasoning, for good measure. Page Sixty-three JAMES LYNCH Jimmy is one person that Montclair will always remember for his never failing enthusiasm in sports and his ever-present optimism. As President of Agora in his Junior year, he brought the club to its heights. Scholastically he is a staunch member of the Math Club, hlis secret ambition was to reach the sky, but he only succeeded in getting to the 4th floor. RE0INA LYNCH The other half of the Lynchs has made an out- standing place for herself In Montclair. Regina has won honors in hockey, baseketball, and baseball. She has been an enthusiastic member of the Dance Club and was elected President this year. Regina has been one of the most active and versatile girls at M. S. T. C. and she ' s one of the best sports we know. ALOYSIA F. MACHALAK Loy Is the pride and joy of the foreign language department. She is one of the few who manage to major and minor in two languages, hier fields are French and Latin. For the first, she spent a year 5 ' udylng In France; for the second, she spent her vacations browsing about among the ghosts of Caesar and Cicero in the Forum at Rome, and she tells unforgettable stories of both experiences. Now that we have her back again at Montclair, she divides her extra energy between Le Cercle Francais, and the Classical Club, In a most efficient Page Sixty-four LA CAMPANA y. Yi 1934 HELEN C. MAGEE Although she appears quiet, Helen Is the leading exponent of Senior dignity. The residents of Eddie Russ and Chapin, however, know her as a girl, who is full of fun, who studies when it ' s time — and plays when it isn ' t. You recognize her too, as the other half of Elois Fowler, with whom she rooms to the satisfaction of the authorities — for they keep a room that can always be shown to visitors. They share similar interests in English and hiistory, making Phrontisterion the center of their extra-curricular activity. HELEN MATH No more effective combination of beauty, wit, personality, — in fact everything in general — could ever be found, hielen has made a lasting impres- sion on everyone by her peppiness, friendliness, and unfailing willingness to lend a helping hand at any time. The Classical Club has benefited by her work as vice-president, the May Day Festival was graced by her presence as maid of honor, and Latin, we are sure, is very fortunate to have such a versatile follower. ALICE MATTERN Alice was our first May Day Queen, and a very lovely one. She always manages to look pretty at Montclair social events and wore an interesting ring for a while. She is one of our best all- ' round athletes and a prominent member of Phrontisteri- on, as well as one of the most popular girls on the campus. Any time that you want her. Just look for Muriel and you ' ll find Alice. Page Sixty-five LENORE MAXWELL Lenore has been the mainstay of the League of Women Voters, having held the vice-presidency and presidency of that organization. hHer athletic abilities have been demonstrated in volley ball, basket ball and natural dancing circles. Her mem- bership in Clio, International Relations and Con- temporary Clubs is evidence of her Interest in so- ciological fields. She has been busily engaged In the activities of Contemporary and Mathematics Clubs and in taking care of helpless under-classmen. ELEANOR McDEVITT Good-looking, a smooth dancer, a charming host- ess as her experience as house chairman of Edv ard Russ hiail last year proved, a capable student, a congenial companion with an easy-going disposition until the Irish in her Is aroused, a grand imitator of the Mae West strut, with a great memory for good jokes and the words of popular songs — that ' s Elea- nor McDevItt. She gets places. GERTRUDE McDONOUGH Once-known, well-liked expresses the popular opinion of Gert, who distinguishes herself by her chic dress, her poise, her calmness, and her loyal friendship. Gert loves to read, walk and wear purple. Gert and Goldle are two Seniors who certainly merit the title of dignified. Member- ship In Opera Study, Psychology, League o f Women Voters, and Glee Clubs proves Gert ' s ver- satility. As a Junior, she served as Secretary in both Clio and Psychology Club, and did Pelican make-up. Page Sixty-six y. LA CAMPANA ' iTi l 954 JANET McLEAN Janet spent a year at the University of Vienna, and came back to Montclair even more enthusiastic about German and music than she had been before she left us. A member of the German Club for four years, she was instrumental in making the Johrmarket a success, and served on the com- mittee for the Ice carnival, several years ago. She is also a member of the Commuters ' Club. CHRISTINE McSTEEN As a dancer — supreme; as an actress — charming (remember The Warrior ' s Husband?); as a debater — member of the varsity debating team, and vice- president of the Debating League; as a student — a member of Rohwec and Gamma Theta Upsilon; manager — chairman of last year ' s successful May Day Festival; as a writer — on the Pelican and year book staffs; as our friend — an all- ' round girl, and a good sport — that ' s Chris. HELEN MARSEUS Helen has managed to make a consistently good record in studies and sports while having a good time throughout. She was elected to Rohwec in her freshman year and served as chairman of its nominating committee and vice-president. She acted as her class representative to the Women ' s A. A. Council and won her bar in basketball. She was also a member of the freshman social com- mittee and was a member of Clio, Commuters ' Club and the League of Women Voters. We mustn ' t forget her really true love — the science department — at least In certain respects. Page Sixty-seven FRIEDA MEYERS who ' ll ever forget Frieda ' s piano number at the Natural Dance Recital? We thought yours the cutest dance of the evening, Frieda. But she doesn ' t spend all her time dancing. Frieda ' s a hard-working English major and French minor who manages an editor-ship on the Publicity Staff and yet finds time to be treasurer of the Psychology Club and secretary of the League of Women Voters, not to mention active membership in Esotericon, Dramatic, and Commuters ' Clubs. AGNES MILLER Agnes has made a place for herself with her gang up here and does her work capably and mod- estly. She seems to be friends with everyone — perhaps it is her quiet dignity that provokes a spirit of friendliness. Her time is divided impartially among her many interests, German, English, driv- ing her car and Mad-FHattering. Best of all is her grand attribute of even-temperedness. We rarely see Agnes tremendously upset over anything. ANNA MAY MILLER We can ' t think of Ann without wondering at her ability in being the most outstanding athlete of her class as well as a prominent member of Rohwec and Kappa Delta Pi. It seems that Ann ' s achieve- ments do not stop there. FHer dancing ability is a delight to behold! As for being popular — is there anyone around who doesn ' t know Ann May Miller and her famous little Audrey stories? Page Sixty-eight V. LA CAMPANA 1 1934 ALLAN MOREHEAD The list of Allan ' s honors and distinctions makes one wonder how he finds time to be so versatile. President of his class twice, of the Senate and of the Student Council — not to mention participation in the Math Club and International Relations Club • — -will give an idea of his contributions to the col- lege. Besides all that, he ' s a swell fellow and everybody ' s friend. VIOLET MORRIS Vi has a definite kinship with Ed Wynn in that she has served long and successfully as Chapin ' s Fire Chief. Besides getting her dormmates up at three in the morning to march downstairs, she has devoted her energies to basketball, volley ball, and hockey. She has engaged in French, Psy- chology, Foreign Relations Clubs, and League of Women Voters, and Phrontlstericon, and has always been notable for excellent work In French. DOROTHY MULLOWNEY h ere is what we would call a Well-integrated personality. Dot is possessed of the gift of gab, a grand disposition and an air of confidence. She has been president of Rowhec, a member of Kappa Delta PI, secretary of the Debating League and a member of Clio, Dramatic Club and Philosophy Club. Page Sixty-nine EVELYN M. NOVACK Evelyn Novack, the girl of organdie ruffles and the ever ready smile. We don ' t see how she does it, but she always knows the secret of right answers — even when the profs think that she isn ' t paying attention. And she ' s the originator of great and famous notebooks, which are masterly pieces of art. Perhaps she shares these honors with Marie Goetschius. But since they ' re inseparable friends, we suppose that it ' s all right. HERBERT OGDEN whenever there has been a part in a play which demanded emotional histrionics, we have called on hierb, and he has proved himself ever able to emote satisfactorily. Flis solo work in the choir has engaged the admiration of many audiences, as has the pleasing aspect of his red hair above the white surplice. - e is outstanding in literary pur- suits and well liked by everyone. But one of his prime interests graduated last year — remember? MARGARET OLIVER This Peggy has individually interested herself in debating, Pelican and library work, while she has joined with her room-mate in Esotericon and Dra- matic Club. They are both noted as the best sandwich makers in Chapin and the owners of ;riginally attractive notebooks. They possess :?qually infectious giggles and as another evidence of their duality, the two go out with a pair of Georges. Page Seventy V. LA CAMPANA Y.i 1934 MARTHA OSTRANDER Martha is a contradiction. Which is her usual self — the Marty who cavorts and romps like a six- year old or the demure miss in an organdy frock who flutters her eyelids at her dancing partner? Martha also has athletic and literary interests, and as vice-president of the Science Club finds an ex- cuse for cutting up frogs and raising mice in type- writers. MARION PHILLIPS If Marion had made no other impression in France last year, we ' re sure she would have been remem-. bered for her lovely clothes. But we understand that she did good service over there as bell-puller and cleaner of dormitory corners. At Montclair she proved a most efficient Exchange Editor for the Pelican and was on the program committee of the French Club and the committee for the famous World ' s Fair. JULIA PINKO Commuters ' Club has known Julia as one of its most active members as has the Psychology Club. As a member of Clio, she pursued her historical bents, while in Esoterlcon, she demonstrated her interest in English. Music also received a share of her attention, as she showed as a member of Opera Study Club. And she proved herself an able journalist through work on the Pelican. Page Seventji-one LENA PORZIO One of our most versatile girls, Lee Is amazingly modest. She writes some of the best poetry and prose which has been produced at Montclair and won a short story prize during her sophomore year. Those charming pictures of children which were posted on the bulletin board in Room B are her work. As vice-president of Aldornia, as a member of the committee for Mr. Conrad ' s Literary Teas, as an actress and as a member of many organiza- tions, she has made herself indispensable to Mont- clair. ADELAIDE H. PRATT Although Adelaide ' s name may sound prim, she is really a most modern all- ' round girl. She is one of our foremost athletes, having distinguished her- self on basketball and volley ball fields. Man y different clubs have engaged her attention. Includ- ing the two Greek letter societies — Sigma Phi Mu and Omicron Kappa Gamma, as well as Mathe- matics, Contemporary and Opera Study clubs. HELEN REEVE hielen drives one of the best looking cars which we have seen on campus and Is always willing to give anyone a lift. She was a representative to the Commuters ' Club Council during her sophomore year and played a splendid game of volley ball. She has sung with the Glee Club and was a member of Science Club. And we predict that she will make one of the best teachers that Montclair has produced. Page Seventvtwo y. LA CAMPANA rji 1954 MARGARET M. REID Those who saw Midge as the obnoxious Laura in Holiday will find it hard to recognize the real girl who is full of fun and anything but high-hat. She was an unusually successful business manager of the Pelican and treasurer of her class, and she received a key for her journalistic work. She has served on the finance and social committees of the Student Council. And as a final tribute to her scholarship, she was elected to Kappa Delta Pi. VERNA RISDALE who has ever seen Laura without Verna, or Verna without Laura? Well, maybe once is a while, but not very often. Besides Laura ' s claims on Verna, the Commuters ' Club, the League of Women Voters and the Math Club claim her too. She is interested in psychology and science; she worked diligently and conscientiously for the Pel- ican; and she spent her extra time playing basket- ball and volleyball with considerable skill. GLADYS ROBINSON Robbie has certainly been one of our most versatile students, throughout her four years here, and has made herself popular with students and faculty alike. She has served very successfully as vice-president and representative for the Student Council. There must be a reason why she ' s the center of so many interesting groups, hier friends attribute it to her even temper, and that individual smile. Page Seventythr CONSTANCE SABATELLI If we could write Connie up as faithfully as she does her school work — If we could repeat the melodious tones she sings after choir practice — If we could get the Spirit as she does, of friendliness and good will — If we could play sports with the energy that she does — If we could capture the sunshine of her smile — If Connie could be her own write up — Then she ' d have a good one — EVELYN SCHAEFER Anyone who has ever had a class with Evelyn will never forget her very enthusiastic recitations. She enters whole-heartedly into anything which she does, be it reporting for the Pelican, or being a very active member of the Glee Club, Latin and Psychology clubs. And her reports for Aldornia have made for some of the most interesting and memorable meetings of that organization. DOROTHEA E. SCHNEIDER The charming bids for our class ' sophomore dance were Dot ' s creation for she served as chairman of the bid committee as well as on the Social Com- mittee that year. She also did outstanding work in the gym exhibition and was a most successful treasurer of Clio. Rohwec honored her in her senior year and she participated In the activities of Commuters ' , Math and Opera Study clubs. League of Women Voters and Esotericon. Page Seventy-fov y. LA CAMPANA rj! 1954 EVA SIDLOW Eva ' s interests embrace many fields, including English, History, Athletics, Music, and Modern Languages, generally. She has belonged to Phron- tisterion, and worked on the Publicity Staff; she won her bars in hockey, and baseball, and also dis- tinguished herself on the basketball court. Opera Study Club has engaged her attention as have those organizations devoted to the study of psy- chology, Italian, and Spanish. BERTHA SIMBERLOFF Bert ' s individuality has been one of the bright spots of our class ' college life. To evaluate her fairly we would need pages but we ' ll just list a few of her outstanding activities. As president of the Debating League, as Social Editor of La Campana, as member of Aldornia and Kappa Delta PI, as vice-president of Glee Club and as a member of Choir and as one of our best actresses, she has made a very considerable Impression on Montclair. MAY C. SMITH May Is a science major who makes a very Inter- esting room-mate, since she is continually bringing all sorts of specimens over to the dormitory for ex- perimentation and examination. She is also an athlete of no mean skill, particularly on hockey and baseball fields. Pelican work has engaged some of her attention while she has been a member of Opera Study, Psychology, and of course. Science clubs. Page Setienty- ii ' e DOROTHY SPARROW Dot has evidenced an interesf in foreign affairs, having been an active member of Latin Club and II CIrculo Italiano. Contemporary, Psychology and Opera Study Clubs have also occupied her time, v hile she has distinguished herself in volley ball and basketball. And she is one of the few people who have managed to live on the first floor of Chapin v. ithout being a source of annoyance to the au- thorities. MARTHA STAFFORD Martha came to Montclair with ambition and desire to lead a full, rich life. Being Martha, she accomplished this. She added to the talent ex- hibited among our creative writers; contributed to the thinking and the discussion of the philos- ophers; proved a needed addition to the Pelican staff and the Quai terly staff, and then was elected to Aldornia. GENEVIEVE STEIN Psychology Club, Clio, and Commuter ' s Club have occupied much of Genevieve ' s time and loyal interest during her four years ' sojourn here. She is one of these students who really listens to her professors and is ready to challenge any remark of theirs with which she disagrees. And she seems to really understand what is being said in the mystically technical language of required science courses. Page Seventy-six LA CAMPANA y. J 9 54 STEVE STIRBA S. O. S. Stirba is a he-man who piays almost as good a football and basketball game as he talks. Pelican readers will remember his column with its subtle, quirkish humor, while instructors know him for his serious attention to studies and his intelligent work, hie is really a person to be taken seriously in spite of the fact that his most enlightening nickname will always be X. CELIA STREIFER Celia is an impetuous little person with a will and a way of her own, an aptitude for knowing what ' s going on, a love for German, and a desire to teach. She has shown her versatile interests by membership In Der Deutsche Verein and Phron- testerlon, and her editorship of the Exchange De- partment of the Pelican. She has sung In the Glee Club, and was a member of the hockey team. MURIEL TAYLOR Muriel is a quiet little person, but you will find she is awfully nice when you know her. hier popularity with both men and women Is evidence of this. Muriel showed that her interest is English, which is her major field, by working on the Pelican staff, and by joining Esotericon. In spite of her social and scholastic engagements, she still found time to play basketball. Muriel does everything she attempts with precision, her work and her play. Page Seventy-seven ELIZABETH THOMPSON Lib has always seemed one of the real sophisto- cafes of our class although those who know her well insist that she is ever ready to join in every bit of dormitory foolery. She has joined only a few clubs, of which she has been a loyal member for four years. She acted on the program committee of Contemporary Club and was also a member of the Glee Club, Math and Science clubs, and League of Women Voters. MARGARET TILDEN Tall, stately, blonde, and the acme of good taste in all things — that ' s Peg. Not only is she a mem- ber of the Classical Club, but Peg also finds the Commuters ' Club and Esotericon very interesting. By the way, have you ever seen the marks she gets on term papers? Above everything else, how- ever. Peg is a true friend — just ask one of her three pals. ELLEN TUNIS Her name immediately calls forth a very striking picture of one who can wear stunning clothes wtih a grace and flair that are inimitable. She is equally at home in social and academic circles and has served her Alma Mater well — a member of the League of Women Voters, Commuters ' Club, Nat- ural Dancing Club and Senior Social Committee. Popularity has been achieved with no effort at all by this one of our loveliest ladies. Page Seventy-eight y.

A member of Aldornia since her sophomore year, she has of- ficiated as president in 1933-34. In addition to being Make-up editor of the Pelican, president of the Psychology Club and an active member of several clubs, she has done community work in Bloomfield.

MARGUERITE WHARTON Mike is the girl who is always the last person to leave school during the week as well as being a constant visitor on Saturdays and holidays. Any- time you are looking for her, you can surely find her in the biology laboratories, hier intense in- terest In science might lead to her classification as a grind were it not for a spirit of fun which is ever-evident in her. Page SeDeiity-iiine ETHEL E. WHEELER If we remembered Ethel for nothing else, we could never forget her performance of Linda in hlollday and the old lady in The Old Lady Shows hier Medals. As vice-president and pres- dent of Dramatic Club, as member of Aldornia and Kappa Delta Pi, as circulation manager of the Pelican, and as senior representative to the Student Council, she has made herself indispensable. And Terry will certainly miss Ethel ' s interesting ankle. ELSIE WILLIAMS We wonder how the Pelican will be able to exist now that so many of its ablest workers will be graduated. Elsie has been another of the reasons for its success, besides doing much for the publicity staff. She is one of our outstanding athletes and has participated in many other extra- curricular activities. hIer scholastic record, too, has been the outstanding type which we expect of the valedictorian of her high school class. If you want to find her, look for Ella. WINIFRED WILLIAMS Winnie is an all- ' round girl with equal Interest in sports, writing and club work. She earned her class numerals through participation in hockey, volley ball, basketball, baseball, and tennis. From being a reporter in the Pelican, she became a feature writer and proved herself expert at writing cleverly without too much emphasis on dirt. Since it will take too long to list the organizations to which she has belonged, we will say, merely, that she is a very clubable girl. Page Eighty LA CAMPANA y Yi r 934 KATHRYN H. WILSON Kay is the girl from Eddie Russ, who finds her interests in Mr. Hatch ' s History department. And she gives most of her time to the affairs of Clio, and the International Relations Club. She has also been one of our most proficient followers of the athletics of each season. But the thing which im- presses us most is the natty combination of white sweaters and berets, which she wears with such distinction. RUTH WOOD Ruth is one of Montclair ' s amateur musicians, having sung in the Glee Club for four years, while she has always been one of the Opera Study Club ' s most active members. Psychology Club has been one of her steady interests while Esotericon has benefited from her conscientious work. But she has not neglected the academic part of her college life, having maintained an enviable record for four years. MEDORA YOUNG Medora has been one of the mainstays of the Pelican for four years. She has further demon- strated her ability in newspaper work through her editorship of the administrative department of the college publicity, in her junior and senior years. She has been one of the active members of the Creative Writing and Philosophy clubs and Esoteri- con. And where would Holiday have been without her efficient work on the Junior Play committee. Page Eighty-one SADIE ZUCKERBERG Sadie is somewhat of a phenomenon since she has been able to make herself liked by students and faculty without any of the famous apple pol- ishing which is all too evident within our walls. She is enthusiastic about the modern dance and has been a member of the dance club, hier schol- astic interests have found expression in her activ- ities in Science Club. We give you Sadie — an all- rounded girl. TOO MUCH From what strange, distant shore, wave-lashed, From what far-reaching Era In the blue haze fading dim Came you here, one little grain of sand. To bake in irksome sunlight On my curving beach? You, who may have heard tormenting strains Of Sappho ' s lyrics pounding with the pulse of the waves, Or felt Oenone ' s footsteps, blindly faltering, Crush the bruised damp sea-weed; To you, my one so bitter tear, slow-sliding Must seem a curious thing, and very small.

Its purpose as defined in the constitu- tion is: to plan, develop, and control, through the efforts of the students, and with the advice of its President and faculty, a well organized community; and to con- stitute a medium for expressing the opinions of the students as a whole on matters of general interest. This Council consists of four officers, four class presidents, seven representatives at large, the ex-president of the Council and the Dean of the College. Meetings are held at the discretion of the president. A few of the activities of the Council are: to plan a budget for the entire col- lege; to give exemplary assembly programs; and to plan social events in which the college as a whole may participate. So far this year a party has been given by the Council to the Freshmen, and an interesting program was given in Assembly. Among other activities, a faculty tea will be held later in the year. The major committees of the council, who carry on much of its work of the council, V : Social, Gladys Robinson, chairman; Finance, Edwin Phillips, chairman; Publicity-Scholastic, Grace Sammarco, chairman. The officers, elected by the student body at large, for the year 1933-1934 are: president, hierbert Bitterman; vice-president, Gladys Robinson; secretary, Eugene Auryansen; treasurer, Edwin Phillips. Page ?S(inety-tliree Agora £ GORA, a men ' s discussion society, is one of the most potent organizations o ' the college. Membership is restricted to thirty; qualifications being leader- ship, personality, good fellowship and service. The essence of Agora is reflected in the enthusiastic zeal of all Its members In the fulfilment of Its cultural and social purposes. One of the most significant features of Agora meetings Is the earnest and vital discussions of various political, economic, religious and social problems which are presented by individual members, and then followed by an open forum. In this manner Agora, portrays a function of self-expression and co-operative advancement. Each year. Agora sponsors some of the outstanding events of the college year, which Include: a men ' s banquet given In honor of the freshmen; an inspiring and Instructive assembly program, and other valuable enterprises In the interest and welfare of the college. Especially noteworthy Is the fact that Agora, through Its sincere principles, welds its members into a loyal, harmonious unit, In which selfish motives are entirely sub-ordinated by common, constructive and genuine effort. That is, in brief, Agora ' s final justification. Besides having a faculty advisor, Dr. hiarley P. Mllstead, Agora has two loyal honorary members: Dr. FInley, Dean of Instruction and Ernest B. McCoy, director of athletics for men. The officers of the club for 1933-1934 are: president, Jerome R. Sehulster; vice- president. Jack Urdang; secretary, William Dunn; treasurer, Attlllo Broccolletti. Page T inety-jour y. LA CAMPANA Aldornia THE study of current literary magazines which Aldornia made last year and which included such periodicals as Poetry, American Caravan, Virginia Quarterly, and others, led the interests of Aldornia members to modern experimental literature. Building upon this keenly felt interest, George Lavenda, program chairman, and Mr. Conrad, faculty advisor, prepared a program worthy of the purpose for which Aldornia was initiated — the stimulation of interest in cultural and literary things among the members of the club. The study for the year 1933-34 includes American and British poetry in relation to the modern world, the Paris group of novelists, British and American experimental novelists. Proletarian novelists, and modern American criticism. Through readings, reports, and discussions, the member s of Aldornia hope to become familiar with the work of such artists as Jeffers, Cummings, Eliot, Proust, Stein, and many others. Aldornia was established in the fall of 1929 by members of the English depart- ment. It is an honorary English society, and its maximum membership of twenty is elected from the Junior and Senior classes on the basis of scholarship and ability to contribute to the activity of the club. The student body at large has had opportunity to become acquainted with the spirit of Aldornia through its assembly programs, when the club presents some writer of distinction. The officers for the year 1933-34 are: President, Eunice Vassar, Vice-President, Lee Porzlo; Secretary, Alice Dunne; Treasurer, Mary Bell; Alumni Chairman, Martha Stafford; Program Chairman, George Lavenda. y 1954 Pdgf A(in ;tv-Jir f Aphesteon THROUGH the efforts of Professors John C. Stone and Virgil S. Mallory, an hon- orary nnathematics society, known as Aphesteon, was organized at Montclair State Teacher ' s College in January, 1931. Its aims are to further an interest in higher mathematics and to provide an opportunity for the presentation of individual re- search work by the more capable students in the Mathematics Department. Mem- bers of the Junior and Senior classes, who are majoring in mathematics are eligible, but the number of undergraduates on the roll Is limited to twenty. At present, there are seven Seniors and six Juniors who have met the scholastic standard set by the club. Aphesteon meets every month, at which time discussions are held and talks given by members of the club, by the faculty of .the Mathematics Department, and by outside authorities in various fields of mathematical interest. Each year Aphesteon awards prizes to the graduating members who have achieved the hi ghest ratings In mathematics throughout their college career. In 1933 the awards were: first prize, Eleanor Hagen; second prize, Dora Schmid and Celia Feins. The officers for 1933-34 were: president, Clara Jilliard; and secretary, Leonora Albigese. The executive committee was composed of Margaret Dunn and Edith Jacobsen. Page l inety-six y. LA CAMPANA 1934 Artsmen THE college art club, Artsmen, was organized in November, 1933, the result of a definite desire on the part of a group of students to develop their individual interests in art. Due to limited facilities in the high school art room where meetings are held, membership is restricted to thirty persons, no prerequisite of talent being necessary. But little business is carried on during the meetings; emphasis is placed on the various media of expression chosen by the members, such as pastels, char- coal drawings, pen and ink, pencil, lettering, oils, water colors, linoleum blocks, clay modeling, and the like. Meetings are, of course, very informal. By constructive criticism, advice, and suggestions, particularly those of Mrs. Hurwitz, teacher of art in the college high school and faculty adviser to the club, the members feel that they are nearing the fulfillment of their alms. The meetings are held every Tuesday at 2:30 P. M. The work of club participants was displayed In several exhibits by the Artsmen during the year. The officers for the year 1933-1934 were: president, Evelyn hlel- mers; vice-president, Nella DeGroot; and secretary-treasurer, Ruth Miller. Page ? linetyseven Le Cercle Francaise THE purpose of the Cercle Francais is to strengthen the friendship betwen France and America, and to increase the students ' knowledge of French culture. To further these aims, the student exchange system, under the supervision of Professor Margaret B. hlolz, head of the Foreign Language department is fostered. Nine students from Montclair are now studying in France. Le Cercle Francais holds its meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. At these meetings an attempt is made to create in the students a true feeling for French culture. The exchange students who have studied in France address the club upon their return. The visiting students from France as well take an active part in the activities of the club. We are very happy this year to have had with us Mile. Gabrielle Bucquoy. At the joint dance recital, given by the Foreign Language department and the Natural Dance club, students of the Cercle participated in the bourree, a French folk dance from the province of Auvergne. Miss Celia Rabinowitz, who has been an exchange student in France, and Mile. Tonone, supervised the dance. A cabinet composed of the officers and two representatives from each class, aided by Mile. Tonone, and Senorita de Escoriaza plan the programs and the regula- tions of the club. The officers for 1933-1934 have been: president, Margaret Flanz- baum; vice-president, Josephine Salati; secretary, Gabrielle Bucquoy; vice-secretary, Marie Pascal; and treasurer, Louise Greene.

To this end, the customs and habits of Italy are studied by the club so that its members may capture the real Italian spirit. Its programs follow this pur- pose in presenting the music, literature and art of Italian culture. The club is now in its second year, with Miss Ethel Littlefield as faculty ad- visor, hier earnest and enthusiastic help has done much to make it an active organ- ization in the college. Under her direction, last year, the club sponsored an Italian Carnival — the gay, colorful costumes and sparkling music adding much to the success of the affair. Better understanding of another nationality Is achieved primarily through the study of Its language. In this the work of the club has been furthered by the study of Italian, the class being an Informal one conducted by Miss Littlefield. II Circolo Italiano does not require its members to be of Italian descent, desiring only to have all those members whose lively Interest and active cooperation and participation will further the aims of the club. The officers for this year are: presi- dent, Atilllo Brocoletti; vice-president, Josephine GalatI; secretary, Catherine Lacey; treasurer, Fulvla Del ' Omo. CI assical Club It was through the efforts of Miss Ethel F. Littlefield that the Classical Club was ■ established in 1927. At that time it was an organization primarily for Greek students. In 1929 the membership was limited to those who were taking Latin as a major or minor. Now, however, the club consists of both Latin and Greek students. This year, Miss Littlefield has organized a regular one-year course in beginner ' s Greek and the large enrollment of the class indicates a growing interest in the classics among Montclair students. One of the chief aims of the Classical Club, as expressed by the Greek slogan, Enthusiastic seekers of the beautiful, is to further an interest in the art, literature and life of the ancient Greeks and Romans, while another important purpose is to Impart to its members useful ideas in conducting Latin clubs in high schools. Therefore, at the meetings which are held once every month, Roman games are played, Latin plays are sometimes presented, and very often there are displays of Latin Realia. These things tend to make the programs pleasant, entertaining, and at the same time, classical in nature. The officers for this year were: President, Miriam Katz; vice-president, hielen Math; secretary, Melba Hamer; and treasurer, Englebert Newmeyer. Page One Hundred y. LA CAMPANA Y. r 954 CI lO CLIO was founded by a group of Social Studies majors who felt that a club was needed to foster a keenness of interest in history. The enthusiastic response that has been shown by students majoring in this department has resulted in the rapid growth of the club since its initial meeting in November, 1929. The aim of Clio is primarily to develop an intelligent interest and understanding of problems which arise in the study of history, both ancient and modern. This year, Clio has been chiefly concerned with the study of biography. Through this insight of famous personages and their times, a more complete comprehension of their per- sonalities will be obtained by the student, making these figures clear, vivid, human beings. Membership Is limited to Social Studies majors. New members are Invited to join the club at the end of the spring term each year. The officers for the year ' 1933-1934 have been: president, Grace Goodnow; vice-president, Ellen MacDonald; secretary, Veronica Feczko; and treasurer, Dorothy Schneider. Dr. Folsom, In her capacity as faculty adviser, Is a helpful and enthusiastic supporter of the club . Page One WimiieA and Ont Commuter ' s Club THE Commuters ' Club, formed in 1931, is fine largest organization in the school its membership consisting of all those who do not live in the dormitory or in off- campus houses. The purpose of the club is to encourage worthwhile activities for the commuting group, and to foster a spirit of social service. This year the program included monthly afternoon socials, several informal dances, and a card party; also charity work was carried on in behalf of the Montcailr Red Cross, and the Caney Creek people of Kentucky. A practice inaugurated last year — that of having a committee consisting of section representatives, which formulated the club ' s program — proved so successful that it was continued this year. Mrs. Maud L. Carter is faculty advisor, and has been most helpful in the club work. The officers for the year 1933-1934 are: president, Edith Sutherland; vice-pres- ident, Katharine Lacey, treasurer, Fordyce Baker. Page One Hundred and Two V. LA CAMPANA Yi 1934 Contemporary Club I HE Contemporary Club was organized in fhe fall of 1927 under the guidance of ' Miss Florence Stryker, former assistant professor in social studies. The purpose of the club is to help develop a civic and professional spirit among its members by arousing an interest in and an understanding of modern life as depicted in contem- porary events. The club has as its faculty advisor Dr. Theodor Rabeler of the lan- guage department. The meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at vv ' hich time diverse programs are presented by faculty members, noted speakers, and studetns. Such topics as art, music, drama, travel, and present day economics and political con- ditions are discussed. Several meetings which are purely social are held each year. These meetings enable the members to become better acquainted with each other. Although membership is open to all students in the college, the membership is limited to seventy-five. The officers for the year 1933-1934 ar president, Gwen- dolyn Babb: vice-president, Veronica Fezko; secretary, Eileen Brown; treasurer, Frances hielmig. Page Oy t Hundred and Three The Creative Writing Club THE Creative Writing Club, organized three years ago, has steadily maintained as its chief purpose the encouragement and literary development of those persons possessing a certain facility in writing, the habit of writing, and the desire to present their manuscripts for group crticism. This aim has been the most important factor in deciding upon the admittance of new members, although all students at Montclair State Teacher ' s College are eligible. As in former years, Mr. Lawrence hi. Conrad has been club adviser. The membership is limited to thirty persons, and this, with the comparative in- formality of procedure, has made for a really companionable group. Many discus- sions of intense interest to the literary-minded have arisen not only from the crit- icisms of manuscripts, but also from fields of literature and writing in general. There is but one officer, a chairman chosen with the general consent of the group, who this year has been Carl Bomberger. Throughout the past year the club has held meetings every two weeks. The membership has been divided into two groups, alternately responsible for the readiness of manuscripts from among their number. There are no restrictions as to literary forms, although the short story and poetry have been the most common media of expression. Meetings are given over to the reading of members ' manu- scripts, and each reading is followed by a period of constructive criticism on the part of the entire group. At all times the creative writing club has been a place where people interested in writing may find expression, helpful criticism ,and a sympathetic attitude toward literary work. Page One Hundred and Four LA CAMPANA y. 55 1954 The Debating League TO develop the lofty art of persuasion and to further public speaking on the ' campus, the Debating League was founded five years ago. Each season since that time has seen a number of lively collegiate and inter-collegiate debates. With about an equal share of victories and defeats, Montclair varsity debating teams have vied with representatives from Susquehanna, Middiebury, Trenton, Upsala and Dana colleges. In addition, open forums and impromptu discussions, together with helpful criticisms by Professors Sloan, Sage, and Bohn, have aided in making many of the club gatherings memorable occasions. Topics ranging from hitch-hiking to war debts have given opportunity for mem- bers to exercise and perfect logical expression, seasoned with humor. During the present year members themselves have taken over the programs, in- spired by Mr. Bohn ' s injunction, Don ' t allow your organization to die of consump- tion! Unique meetings — dramatizations of debates, experiments with the various forensic forms, and practice in coaching teams — all these have maintained the strength of the League, and caused it to advance in membership and interest. The officers for 1933-1934 v ere: president, Irene hiebard; vice-president, Emily O ' Ma ley: secretary, Wallace Winchell; and manager, Zelda Cohen. Page One Himdred and Five Dcr Deutsche Verein The purpose of the German club is two-fold: first to acquaint students of German ' with German culture and customs essentially social, and secondly to give students an opportunity in organizing and leading extra-curricular activities. In carryng out the first purpose, the club under the leadership of Walter E. Kops, was introduced to the German student fraternity system. Such typically German festivities as Weihnachten, Fastnacht, Sonnenwende were appropriately cel- ebrated with the traditional Christmas play, a masked ball, and a spring festival respectively. Besides this, a trip to the German centers of New York was also suc- cessfully made. Monthly meetings and various activities were organized and led by various upper classmen, thus giving them an opportunity to administer extra-curricular activ- ities in preparation for their future professon. We are very thankful to have Miss hlolz and Dr. Rabeler as our faculty advisors and to have our two exchange students Fraulein Saaf and Mile. Bucquoy as our guests. Fraulein Saaf very obligingly acted as our secretary. The other officers were: president, Walter E. Kops; vice-president, Ethel Vogel; treasurer, William Braen. Page One Hundred and Six y. LA CAMPANA Yi 1934 The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club is now in its seventh season as an active functioning body in ' Montclair. It is the only club of its kind that gives students the opportunity to display their personalities under the guise of different roles. The organization differs from that of other clubs in that the members elect a dramatic council consisting of nine members who In turn elect from the council the officers of the organization. Under the able tutelage of Mrs. Louise Humphrey, club advisor, the council meets every two weeks and transacts the business of the club. The plans and questions discussed at the council meetings are transmitted to the club members at the monthly meetings where a vote Is taken on all matters. In order to give each individual in the club a better chance to express himself in various plays, the members are divided into nine groups. A chairman, who acts as coach, is placed at the head of each group. Each unit Is responsible for a monthly meeting at which a one-act play Is presented. A new scheme has been devised by the club this year. It plans to have the Dramatic Club of the Demonstration High School as a junior body. The High School students will be responsible for a play at each meeting. In previous years the club has sponsored the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter plays, as we!l as the one given for the seniors at Commencement. The membership of the club Is limited to forty people with the result that strict try-outs must be held to determine the future members. The try-outs are held twice a year. Officers of the club this year are: president, Ethel Wheeler; vice-president, Mary Feind; secretary-treasurer, Constance Sabatelll. Council members are: Claire Buckley, Louise Messing, Herbert Bitterman, and Herbert Ogden. Page One HunArei and.

The purpose is not only to further the study of geography for individuals desirous of advanced work in that field, but also to arouse and increase interest in it. It is the hope of Gamma Theta Upsilon that its colors — Gold for the sunlight of the atmosphere Brown for the soils of the earth Blue for the waters of the sea — will bring to Montclair honor and credit.

J 954 International Relations Club It was in view of the Importance of a knowledge of our country ' s affairs that the ' International Relations Club was organized In 1932. Students have felt the need of a systematic study of the problems constantly confronting the American people. This year the club has followed a definite program, studying the American foreign policy. Members have studied and discussed those national and International events and issues which are dally transpiring within and without our national borders, and which vitally concern our American life and Institutions. Each member of the organization actively contributed this year. The club was organized into ten committees, each of which studied a particular nation in regard to its relation with the United States. A separate committee studied the machinery of the League of Nations. The International Relations Club at Montclai r is affiliated with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which sponsors over three hundred such clubs throughout the world. From this organization each club receives current literature on subjects of Interest to them. The officers this year are: president, Thomas Leavy; vice-president, Angelo Call; secretary, Edna Barrowclough; treasurer, Morris Cohen; and librarian, Eleanor Brady. Membership is open to all except freshmen In their first term.

Strongr formerly associated with the General Electric Company, spoke on Color Vision. At the November meeting, the foreign language department presented the exchange students who spoke on their studies and adventures. In December, Mr. Milstead ad- dressed the chapter. Fraternity elections were held in January and the informal initiation took place in March. The chapter was entertained at Trenton by the Tren- ton chapter. Another high spot of the year was the banquet at Montclair. The social hours following the meeting were especially enjoyable to all the members.

The League thus hopes to help its members become better citizens not only of understanding but also of initiative in civic affairs. The program for the year included lectures by outstanding persons, and group discussions by the members on questions of vital importance which we as citizens must face. At our first meeting, Professor hiatch spoke briefly on some of the problems which the club later in the year took up more fully, and discussed. At this meeting, Professor hiatch substituted for M ' iss Lloyd, the club ' s faculty adviser. Professor hiatch holds a distinctive position in the affairs of the League, having fathered the organization, and providing an ideal place for the famous hot dog roasts of the club at hiatch ' s Cliff. Besides these well known supper hikes, the League has sponsored card parties, and held an annual banquet in the spring in termination of its yearly activities. Membership in the League is limited to fifty women, and open to all women of the college. The only requirements are attendance at the regular monthly meetings on the first Monday of each month, and the payment of dues. The officers for the year 1933-1934 were: president, Lenore Maxwell; vice- president, Gloria Miller; secretary, Frieda Meyers; and treasurer, Helen Owens. Page One Hundred and Eleven The Dance Club THE Dance Club aims to stimuate interest in dancing and to make the body an instrument capable of expressing ideas, feelings, and emotions. The club meets weekly, and works first on fundamental movements which give body control. As each individual gradually gains control of these movements, she is encouraged to use them in expressing her own feelings and ideas, and eventually, in creating dances, sometimes individually, sometimes with a group. At the end of each year, a recital is given in which all members participate. Every dance performance is original, and all of the costumes are designed and made by the members of the club. Last year ' s recital was attended by a large and appreciative audience, and proved so successful that the club was asked to repeat the program. Only those women who are actively interested in the work of the club are eligi- ble. Once or twice a year the club attends recitals in New York, to study the modern trend of this form of dancing. The officers for 1933-1934 are: leader, Margaret A. Sherwin; president, Sylvia Levinsky; vice-president, Charlotte Posse; secretary, Catherine LeMaistre; treasurer, Dorothy Johnson. Page One Hundred and Twelve LA CAMPANA y. 1 1954 The Opera Study Club KilEMBERSHIP of the Opera Study Club is open to all students who have a deep interest in music, and who have a particular liking for opera. At each monthly club meeting an opera is studied, the discussion of which centers about the life of the composer, the background, characters, and setting of the work, as these de- tails contribute to the understanding of the composition as a whole. Club programs seek to enrich the musical background of the students, and to stimulate a finer appreciation and a more intense enjoyment of great operas. Victrola records of the most outstanding arias are heard after the discussion of the opera. This year, plans included studies of some of the great Italian, German, and French operas, touching as well, upon Russian opera. Previously, occasional visits have been made to the Metropolitan Opera hlouse. This year again frequent op- portunities to hear the really fine operas offered in New York were taken. Miss Edna McEachern has been a splendid faculty adviser to the club, by her own interest and guidance stimulating the programs of the year. Discussions have been dynamic, penetrating, and highly conducive to a sustained interest on the part of the members. The officers for 1933-1934 were: president, Gloria Miller; vice-president, Mil- dred Lotz; secretary, Ruth Wood; and treasurer, Elsie Williams. Page One Hundred and Thirteen The Philosophy Club It has been said that the philosopher is the spectator of all time, space, and ex- ■ istence. This super-objectivity, and grasp of the significance of life mark the true philosopher. And it is toward this that the members of the college Philosophy Club strive. Any acquisition of broad, long-range views are sure to prove of inestimable service to them when they will be active in their profession. The club ' s systematic survey of philosophers throughout the ages concerned itself, during the past two years, with the titans of the Golden Age of Greece — Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. This year the club has drawn upon the great thought of the Middle Ages, which has provided much enjoyment, stimulated their thinking in turn, and consequently given them a fuller appreciation of life as a whole. Under the experienced guidance of its adviser. Professor Margaret B. hHolz, the club h as enjoyed a varied and well-rounded program this year. Forums, and addresses on pertinent topics by authorities in various aspects of philosophy, and by members of the faculty, featured the semi-monthly meetings. The officers for the current year were: president, Leonard Gross; vice-president, Edward Leshowitz; secretary, Sylvia Swick; program committee, George Lavenda, Angelo Cali, Aaron Franzblau, and Rose Schonberg. Page One Hundred and Fourteen LA CAMPANA Phrontistcrion DHRONTISTERION is perhaps better known as the new English Club. It was ' organized in 1932, when a need was recognized for a club which would be open not only to English majors, but also to students who are interested in modern liter- ature, regardless of their department from which they come. The club consists of two divisions, Exotericon, for Freshmen and Sophomores, and Esotericon, for Juniors and Seniors. Meetings of the two groups are held separa tely, except for the final or joint meeting of the year. To this outstanding meeting, an outside speaker is usually invited. Discussions among the members, and talks by various students on phases of lit- erature which interest them most, feature the programs. The club, then, has a two- fold purpose: instruction and culture. This year, Exotericon has centered its discus- sions on the modern short story, while Esotericon has discussed contemporary English and American novels and drama. Bibliographies were distributed, so that all mem- bers would be ready to contribute more intelligently at the meetings. These also serve as guides to reading in leisure time. Yi 1934 Page One Hundidd and Fi teen The Psychology Club The past year has been no exception to the Psychology Club ' s reputation as ' being one of Montclair ' s most active organizations. Its purpose is two-fold, aim- ing to bring its members to a fuller knowledge and understanding of the current trends of psychology, and to foster the development of all interests in the field of psychology. Although the program this year has been limited to no definite unit, it has been prepared to show the far-reaching influence of psychology in other fields, such as drama, art, education, and music. At many of the meetings the club has had such speakers as. Dr. Rabeler, Miss hlunt, and leaders in psychology. An open forum type of discussion, and group discussion springing from the new ideas presented, round out the remainder of the meeting. All students who have had, or are taking at the time of admittance, one term of psychology, and who possess active interest in the subject, are eligible for mem- bership. Members of the Mental hlygiene Institute here at Montclair are also enrolled and Dr. Zachry and Miss Lloyd are the faculty advisers. Social and financial activities have further demonstrated the strength of the organization, such as the memorable Montclair Theatre benefit and the hlot Dog Sale, which proceeds were both donated toward the support of the clinic. A supper for the convenience particularly of commuters remaining in the evening for the monthly meetings, a Christmas party, and the recent annual banquet, have promoted the true spirit of fellowship which along with knowledge characterizes the club. The officers of the psychology club for 1933-1934 are: president, hHoward Phillippi; vice-president, Edith Jessen; secretary, Carl Bomberger; treasurer, Frieda Meyers; and program chairman, Ruth Miller.

LA CAMPANA ' J 19 54 Rohwcc ROHWEC, the honorary history society of the college has been prominent not only in college activities but also in the secondary schools throughout the state of New Jersey, since its organization in 1928. The purpose of Rohwec is primarily to weld together students of the Social Studies department whose scholarship is outstanding, and who desire an opportunity for further study and research in their field. The programs center around interesting phases of the Social Studies. This year the interest, centering in current events, resolved itself into a discussion of the N. R. A. until the members felt they had gotten everything out of it. They then turned their attention to research in fields of history such as various philosophies ot history. Special programs are featured and profitable field trips to places of historic interest are made. Members of Rohwec are admitted by Invitation each year from each of the classes. Selection is made by members and faculty advisors on the basis of scholar- ship and personality. The officers of Rohwec for the current year 1933-34 were: R. Jeanette Feier- stein; O. Thomas Leavy; H. Professor Harold Sloan; W. Dorothy Mullowney; E. Hazel Audsley. Page One Hundred and Seventeen The Science Club The Science Club has grown in numbers and spirit since the day of the Science ' Club of the State Normal School from which it developed. This year particularly the sophomores have been attracted by our fine programs and opportunities, so that the membership of the club has swollen to more than fifty persons. The aims of the organization are clearly defined. It constitutes a medium for the presentation and discussion of scientific topics aside from classwork, and gives an opportunity for the training in methods of scientific thought and procedure. The club affords experience in handling demonstration apparatus and gives them, as prospective teachers, experience in guiding a science club. Another feature is that its members are privileged to hear a number of interesting speakers who are working in the broad and dynamic field of science. Furthermore, at special meet- ings and supper-hikes, the Science Club has given the busy science majors and minors an outlet for their social interests. Meetings are held the first and third Mondays of every month. Although membership is limited to science majors and minors who have obtained a rating of B for one term, anyone interested in science may attend the meetings. The officers for 1933-1934 are: president, Dorothy Johnson; vice-president, Charlotte Collins; secretary, Louis J. Cohen; treasurer, Philip Clammuro. Dr. Reed has been an energetic and stimulating adviser. Page One Hundred and Eighteen y. LA CAMPANA Yi 1954 The Senate THE Senate is a club formed of a small group of college men who have common interests in art, music, and forms of literary expression. Its aim is to develop these interests to the greatest possible extent, thus making for an appreciative cultured Membership in the Senate is by invitation only. Personality, special ability, and scholarship are taken into consideration in its selection of members. Any man of the college is eligible for membership. The organization is sponsored by the Enghsh department and has as its faculty advisor. Professor Edward H. Webster Mr. Bohn, Mr. Phil Collins, Mr. Warriner, and Mr. Fletcher Collins are active faculty members of the club. • . -i. Each year the club selects some phase of the arts for study and discussion at its meetings. This year the Senators enlarged upon this field and studied contemporary thought on art, science, and social philosophy. Several prominent outside speakers were invited to the club to report on these three fields. Every year the Senate sponsors a college assembly period at which it presents an outstanding artist. It has also become a custom to hold one formal meeting a year, with ladies of the college and members of the faculty among the guests. The officers for the year 1933-1934 are: president, Allan Morehead; vice-pres- ident, Herbert Bitterman; secretary, Eugene Auryansen; treasurer, Englebert Neu- mayer. Paul Caffrey was chairman of the membership committee. Page One Hundred and ?vjineteen Sigma Phi Mu C IGMA PHI MU has proved to be an organization of unlimited interests and achievements. It has for its main objectives, as its title suggests, the stimulation of interest and the presentation of further opportunities for study in the field of mathematics beyond that taught in the classroom. All students of the college who are either majors or minors in mathematics are eligible for membership. Sigma Phi Mu now ranks with the largest clubs of the college and has a membership of over one hundred students. Professor Virgil S. Mallory, as faculty advisor, has contributed much to make our programs especiall instructive and inspiring. The club often has as its speakers mem- bers of the club and faculty. Occasionally it has the opportunity of hearing as guest speakers outstanding men and womien in the math field. At the first meeting, Pro- fessor Stone spoke on the preparation of text books. To further the social life and activities of the organization, several hikes and picnics have been held. The latest venture was a chicken chowder picnic which was open to all students in the mathe- matics department. Mr. Stone contributed to make this chowder a success. The officers for the year 1933-34 were: president, Edna Hitchcock: vice-presi- dent, Natalie Dalton: secretary, Gertrude Winchell: treasurer, Ida Krueg: and librar- ian, Margaret Janson. Page One Hundred and Twenty y. LA CAMPANA r 954 = ! ! La Tertulia Espanola I A TERTULIA ESPANOLA is composed of all students of Spanish. The aims of the club are three-fold; to improve the speaking ability of its members, to further their knowledge of Spanish culture, and to promote a friendly feeling between the young students of America and their Spanish neighbors. In spite of its small membership, the club has contributed to the social life of the college. The monthly meetings were made interesting by the two Montclair students, Alice and Ruth Johnson, who spent a year in Spain. The members of the club sang Spanish songs and enjoyed Spanish music. The Spanish assembly program was brightened by the presence of Lenora La Calle, who sang some Spanish songs. The organization also contributed to the success of the Dance Recital by giving the Spanish folk-dance, The Jota. Miss Teresa de Escoriaza, as advisor of the club, has been of great help in mak- ing the year a successful one. The officers were: Ruth Johnson, president; James Finnegan, vice-president; Diana Catanzaro, secretary; Anne Cameron, treasurer. Page One Hundred and Twentyone V.

LA CAMPANA The Pelican THE Pelican, a bi-weekly newspaper sponsored by the English department, is pub- lished under the direction of its faculty adviser, Phil D. Collins, instructor in Eng- lish. The newspaper not only brings campus news to the student body, but also provides opportunity for Montclair students to practice journalism. In the fall, hlaro!d S. Sloan, assistant professor of Social Studies, accepted the invitation to join the Pelican staff as faculty adviser to the business board. The Pelican received first class honor rating from the National Scholastic Press Association for 1933. A system of instruction in the work of the various departments of the paper, followed by tests, was instituted this year to aid the editorial staff in the selection of candidates from the large numbers trying out. Only those who rate high in ability, enthusiasm, and faithful work are retained on the staff. More than eighty students assisted in the publication of the Pelican in 1933. Meetings of the editorial board are held on the day of publication for the dis- cussion of matters of policy and plans for succeeding issues. The following editorial staff members held office during the fall term: CHARLOTTE HARRISON, Editor-in-Chief MARGARET DUNN, Assistant Editor MARY FLANAGAN, News Editor MURIEL TAYLOR, Make-up Editor MARTHA STAFFORD, Feature Editor VERNA RIDSDALE, Copy Editor CELIA STREIFER, Exchange Editor MILTON GOTTLIEB, Alumni Editor PAUL GOLDBERG, Sports Editor RUTH BABCOCK, Business Manager New members of the staff were elected later in the year. Yi 1954 Page One WunArtd. and Tu ' enty-three The Montclair Quarterly WITHOUT clamor or aggressiveness, the Montclair Quarterly has gradually be- come one of the major institutions in the college. Begun in 1930 by a small group of students interested in writing, the magazine has grown in importance and scope until it can now vie in literary quality with magazines of much larger colleges. The magazine has a two-fold purpose, each supplementing the other. The first is to provide an outlet for the creative work done by the students of the college in the various forms of literature. The other is to provide a stimulus for creative ex- pression among the entire student body. The literary staff of the Montclair Quarterly is very carefully selected, the chief criterion being critical ability. A small business staff completes the organization of the magazine. The creative quality of the magazine has spread to fields other than literature. Original drawings by undergraduates have been published as cover designs. Despite its name, the Montclair Quarterly is published three times a year at the end of each term. During the year 1933-34, the editor-in-chief was George Lavenda, with Vivian Roegner as literary editor. The manager of the business staff was Regina Lynch. Much of the success of the magazine is due to Professor Paul S. Nickerson, who founded the magazine, and to Professor Lawrence l-l. Conrad, the present faculty advisor.

LA CAMPANA athletics Yi 1954 The Men ' s Athletic Association THE Men ' s Atheletic Association supports and indorses all the men ' s sports of the college by virtue of its high ideals and aims. These are: 1. To raise Montclair athletics by means of publicity and good sportsmanship to a higher plane. 2. To organize the men of the college into a working unit. 3. To foster athletics of some kind for every man in the college. 4. To supervise and control all men ' s athletics on the campus. Out of the aim to foster athletics of some kind for every man on the campus emerged the intra-mural sports now so popular with the men of the college. This infra-class competition in touch-football, basketball, and indoor baseball has been a success in providing for the men of the college, recreation and fine spirit. Besides the many athletic activities of the organization, the club produces the traditional Varsity Show, usually a howling burlesqued operetta ,and manages a num- ber of sport dances. The Varsity Show confers credit on Montclair by virtue of its fine production and the Sport Dances provide the necessary zest of live social functions. With the aid of Coach Ernest B. McCoy and Dr. Milstead as faculty advisor, the ideals and aims of the club are being perpetuated by the administration of 1933-1934 including: president, William Dunn, vice-president, Howard Kling; sec- retary, Jules Brick; treasurer, E. John Fiorilla. Page One Hundred and Tliirtyone BASKETBALL EARLY in November the initial call for basketball candidates was issued. A large turnout, including most of last year ' s squad members and many newcomers, re- sulted. Coach McCoy at once took cognizance of the fact that he would have an unusually small and light team in comparison with our rivals, hie therefore stressed speed, accuracy in shooting and passing, and general skillful handling of the ball in order to overcome the handicap that lack of height would give them. These funda- mentals were well learned early in the season and turned the tide in our favor in many of the close battles in the torrid campaign. Among the lettermen to return were. Jannarone, Dunn, Dorfman, Broccoietti and Urdang. In addition Gibba, McNeely, Richman, Chioca and Dobbelaar saw a great deal of service and made strong bids for first string berths. Herbert Freed, the senior manager, due to economy measures was forced to limit the opposition to nearby colleges and normal schools. Pre-season games were played with Long Island U, Upsala, and Rutgers University, three of the strongest teams in the metropolitan area. In addition to these, home and home series were scheduled with Drew University, Jersey City, Newark, and Peterson State Normal Schools, Trenton State Teachers College and the New York Aggies. The squad which listed no member of the Senior Class in its rank should be in- tact next season and provide one of Montclair ' s greatest teams. Page One Hundred and Thirty-two LA CAMPANA ?i r 954 FOOTBALL 1933 IN the fall of 1933 a small but scrappy football squad started to work on the toughest ■ schedule that a Montclair State gridiron machine ever faced. The team was light and inexperienced but Coach Ernest B. McCoy through hard work and unfailing courage put out one of the best teams in the brief history of the college. Manager Phil C. Clamurro carded nine games against such strong opposition as the University of Baltimore, Millersville, Kutztown, and Trenton State Teachers College, Panzer, Upsala, the New York Aggies, Rutgers J. V., and the Alumni. Our team outplayed and outsmarted nearly every team on the schedule but failed to capitalize on its scoring opportunities. The line-plunging of Leach and Gaus and long runs by Caffrey and Donnelly featured our attack. The forward pass- ing of quarterback Kling and the kicking of Fiorella were highly commendable, hieim and Mellinger were used as reserve ball carriers. Yeoman work in the line was done by Jannarone, Fiorella, Fleming, Lynch, Zanetti, Monprode and Nagy. Excellent relief in the forward wall was afforded by Wallace, Wilson, Stlrba, Lipsitz and West- ervelt. The season was not successful as far as victories went but should prove of great value to future teams for the only lettermen to receive diplomas this June are Kling, Caffrey and Leach in the backfield and Lynch and Wallace in the line. The experi- ence gained from this year ' s play should make the 1934 football team a hard one to beat. Page One Hundred and Thirty-three M ens lennis I HE spring of 1933 saw varsity tennis become a major sport in Montclair State ' Teacher ' s College for the first time. The team, which was ranked as one of the strongest College teams in the East, only lost one match during the season. It num- bered among its victims: Upsala (2), Newark State Normal (2), Paterson 4th Ward Club, and Panzer (2). Jack Urdang, college champion, captained the team for the second straight year. hHowie Kling, Bob Smith, Carl Fix, Dan Goss, and Paul Goldberg were also expert racquet wielders and letter-men. The lookout for 1934 is exceedingly bright, as the team will be composed of last year ' s letter-men, Tillie DeGenero, a strong reserve and several promising freshmen. Manager Louis Cohen has arranged 10 matches against the strongest opposition available, In the hopes of furthering our reputation for tennis prowess. The Men ' s A. A. also sponsored an intra-mural league composed of thirty, two- men teams. Dave McNeely and Jake Scrovoneck finally emerged the winners when they conquered Jimmie Lynch and Andrew Laurie in the finals, 2 — I. It is expected that this spring will see an even larger league with all the teams intent on dethroning the present champions. Page One Hundred and Thirty-four V.

The Athletic Council consists of girls chosen from the sections of each class. In this way the interests of the different sections may be considered. It was through these representatives that the Council found that there was an active interest in swim- ming. Thus swimming along with archery, volley ball, and tennis has been added to the major group of sports. In order that the Freshmen might become more interested in athletics, the girls active in sports, planned a Play Day, which was open to all girls of the school. In this way, the Council found many new athletes, not only in the Freshman class, but in the upper classes. This was considered one of the largest achievements of the year. Games in hockey and basketball were planned with outside schools. Many girls will remember these afternoons with pleasure. Parties, too, were quite popular with the members of the A. A. All girls who earned their bars or numerals in any sport were able to attend these social affairs. At the end of the year the annual banquet marked the close of a successful season. This long will be remembered by those who attended. The officers for the year 1933-34 were: President, Marguerite Boissevain; Vice- President, Emily O ' Malley; Secretary, Florence Shingler; Treasurer, Dorothy Schmidt. The faculty advisers were: Miss Dorothy Duke and Miss Margaret Sherwin. Page One Hundred and Thirty-six LA CAMPANA y. Yi 1954 HOCKEY EACH year finds hockey increasing in favor at the college, and this was probably the most successful season carried through. For the first time the schedule in- cluded a series of invitation games with outside schools including Panzer, Upsala and the North Jersey second team. These proved so popular that they will be continued in the future. The usual infra-mural program at the close of the season attracted more than usual interest and came to an exciting finish when the traditional Red and White teams clashed for the school championship. The Whites were easily victorious, tally- ing 5 goals to the losers ' zero score. Those who played for the winning squad were Martha Stafford, Anna May Miller, Eleanore Brady, l egina Lynch, Shirley Miedema, Jane Zimmerman, Julia Ehrentrout, Dorothy Schmidt, Anne Mondanile, and Eleanor McDonnell. Page One Hiitidred and Tliirty-seven BASKETBALL LAST year ' s first wintry blasts heralded the opening of another popular basketball season. With over one hundred enthusiasts reporting to practice each week, there was some excellent material for the various class and varsity teams chosen later. A very successful inter-mural program was carried out, with Montclair on the top side of the score in the majority of contests. All of these games were with high- ranking teams, including Panzer, Newark Normal, Jersey City Normal, Trenton and Upsala. Inter-class games completed the schedule. These matches were very hotly-con- tested, the teams being quite evenly matched. However, the sophs (present juniors) finally managed of nose out their chief rivals, the juniors, in the deciding game, thus earning the hard-fought championship of the college. The season came to a fitting close with a tilt between the Red and White teams of selected players, representing the best of each class, in which the Whites were victorious by an 18 — 13 score. The Red-White lineup was as follows: White — Florence Shingler, Charlotte Posse, Evelyn Reiger, Edith Jessen, Ben Boissevian, Dorothy Schmidt, Edith Jakob- sen, Edna hHitchcock; Red — Anna May Miller, Alice Mattern, Alice Dunne, Shirley Miedema, Evelyn Pott, Eleanor Brady, Connie Sabatelli, Muriel Crawford and Mary Schaffer. Page One Hundred and Thirty-eight V. LA CAMPANA 1934 BASEBALL THE hot, dusty spring afternoons of 1933 found a sizable crowd of enihusiastic M. S. T. S. girls deeply engaged in that sport that the masculine world has too long usurped as its own . . . baseball. After a series of practices, a number of zeal- ously contested preliminary games were played. The maxim seemed to be, The hotter the day, the heavier the hits, and many a forehead was mopped with a wilted nandkerchief after a wary runner had stolen another base. Even pouring rain on several occasions failed to dampen the girls ' ardor. The season closed with the Red-White game, in which only picked players took part. On the Red team were: Evelyn Pott, Mary Philips, Shirley Miedema, Marie Cahill, Edna hiitchcock, Dorothy Schmidt, Mabel Smith, Mary Monahan, and Regina Baird; while the Whites were represented by Evelyn Reiger, Anne Seiling, Edith Jessen, Sylvia Levinsky, Florence Shingler, Sophie Cutler, Regina Lynch and Edith Jacobsen. The White team finally clinched the hot battle which ensued by a 7 — 6 victory. Page One Hundred and Thirty-nine TENNIS THE fall tennis tournament started off with a bang with twenty aspirants of more than usual ability contesting for the individual championship of the school. One by one the entrants were outclassed, till the semi-finals bout when Anna May Miller lost to Ramonde Boerie and Pauline Lake to Evelyn Reiger. The final round between the two remaining in the field provided plenty of thrills and excite- ment, both girls showing beautiful form and almost evenly-matched ability, hlow- ever, Evelyn gave just the shade better play to clinch the victory, defeating Ramonde 6 — 4, 6 — 3, to become women ' s tennis champion for the second time. Page One Hundred and Forty LA CAMPANA Z SOCIO [954 Yi Social History WE won ' t soon forget the good times we ' ve had this year! It was a year more than ever enlivened by the gaiety and fun of our social activities. Whether formal or informal, we took part In these affairs with spirit and enthusiasm — and with such support, a high degree of success was attained. Get acquainted, everybody! Well, we did, at the annual student council dance, held in honor of the freshmen. This was held on September 26, and a large measure of its success might well be attributed to the chairmanship of Gladys Robinson. It didn ' t take long for the greensters to get to know each other; and the upper class- men found them a thoroughly delightful lot. Stiff formality was cast aside, as all joined In the leap-year dances and Paul Joneses. The music was furnished by Jules Brick ' s Bards, and dancing was enjoyed till the end of the afternoon — and longer, for some of the dorm girls were seen rushing into dinner a few minutes late. As might be expected, the Hallowe ' en party was a jolly affair. It seemed as though all the notables were there, from Mickey Mouse to Mae West. Surprisingly enough, this little pig wasn ' t afraid of the big bad wolf — at least not when they were impersonated by Mr. Phil Collins and Mr. Warriner. Laughter, smooth music, and delicious refreshments characterized the party. What more could be desired? Following soon came the lovely Fall dance, held on October 20, in Chapin hiail. The dance was planned jointly by g irls from both dormitories, with Peggy Gail as chairman for Chapin, and Florence Clark as chairman for Edward Russ. The gaily colorful informality of autumn leaves outside contrasted quietly with the formality of the dance. Jules Brick and his bards made an admirable musical setting. With hearty handshakes and occasional back-slapping, old acquaintances were renewed at the Senior-Alumni dance on December 8. Both dormitories were re- quired to accommodate the number which attended; and the twelve Junior girls who assisted the senior committee under the capable leadership of Reglna Lynch, were proud to take part In the festivities. Not even rain or cold weather could dampen the attendants to the Junior-Senior formal, January 5, for this was one of the most lively of the season ' s dances — a fine beginning for the New Year! With Ben Arnstein and his Princetonlans, and Dick Braun and the Commodores, in each of the halls, the cry was On with the dance! And since Repeal has been made effective, we can certainly vow that the rhythm was Intoxicating! Jack Urdang, and his committee deserve a great deal of credit for their fine work. Then came the dance to which we had so long been looking forward — the annual Junior Prom! It was notable for its gala spirit, and great vivacity. This was another rung In our ladder of social successes, and was held in the spring. Of course you recall the fine Freshman dance, with Its distinctive spiderweb ceiling and other novel decorations, its lively orchestra, and efficient management by Bernie Boressoff and his committee! Efficiency? And initiative, too, when they formed a dancing class for those who had In this neglected their education, early In the school year. Congratulations, frosh — that ' s the spirit! Where, oh where were those gay, young Sophomores on the night of March 9? Not hard to answer that, when this date coincides with the time of their Flop! This formal, held In Chapin, was an appropriate climax to the successful social season of the sophomore class. In the spring, the joint Dorm dance was held In Edward Russ FHall. It has been Page 0 ie Hundred and Fort -three commented that, Those girls certainly know how to bring a crowd together so that everyone will have a happier time! Another triumph for the Juniors — the Junior Play, on March 23, and what a play! The actors themselves had a hilarious time of it, and we who were in the audience, enjoying watching Three-cornered Moon hugely! We could mention names of those who did particularly well — but, on second thought, rather than mention the names of the whole cast we ' ll repeat that the play was well suited to the talent of the Junior class. And the audience was well suited, too. So, also we feel was Mr. Phil Collins, who coached the production! After the success of last year ' s Varsity Show, the Men ' s A. A. had little trouble in working up enthusiasm for their recent offering. Imagine John Fiorilla as Romeo In Romeo and Juliet — or better still, recall his finely turned burlesquing of the farce (not by William Shakespeare, this time) — and the splendid vocal and histrionic support given him, and how we can say It was a riot of fun! It so happens that May follows April, and therefore our next Red Letter day was that of the colorful May Day. King and Queen, with all their richly-dressed retinue, maidens dancing around the May Pole, the balmy weather and warm sunshine, and festal songs characterized what has become a much appreciated tradition at Montclalr. June might well be called Senior Month, with their dances and teas, their reception, and their graduation, finally. We of the college sincerely extend to each one of them best wishes at their departure, an Important milestone in their lives. Good luck, Seniors! And as for the rest of the college, we ' ll be seeing you — in September. SENIOR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES THE Senior Class of ' 34 upheld in grand style its reputation as the pace-setters of the college social whirl. A fine beginning was made with the Senior-Alumni Dance on December 8th. Many Alumni attended and the enthusiasm with which they were welcomed back was dimmed only by the farewells to the group of undergrad- uates going out into the field. The Junior-Senior Formal, on January 5th, proved that the committee had worked hard and the result was a really pleasant evening of gayety and merrymaking. With the Juniors as hosts, the Seniors found themselves royally feted and joined readily In the spirit of the affair. June 13 marked the end of practice teaching and with professional worries temporarily over, things began to happen in earnest. Under the guidance of Regina Lynch, Violet Morris, Bertha Simberloff, Ellen Tunis, Maurice Friedman, Phil Clamurro, Paul Caffrey, and Allen Morehead, a brilliant and diversified program was offered. The Montclalr Pool was the scene of the Senior Swim and a lively party it turned out to be. The Garden Party followed and the flowing chiffons and crisp organdies against the background of the campus made this affair one of the prettiest and most colorful of the season. The Tea Dance and the Senior Play, Shakespeare ' s The Taming of the Shrew were truly enjoyable and made the day a memorable one. The climax of the week, of course, was the Senior Ball, the last social event of our college career ,and the last dance seemed the shortest of all. Baccalaureate — Commencement — and the close of an altogether thrilling week. Page One Hundred and Forty-four LA CAMPANA y.

It was In the spring of 1929 that students first heard rumors to the effect that such a system was to be organized, and now In September, 1933, we have sent our fifth yearly group of delegates abroad. The experience of studying abroad is Invaluable in many respects. Indirectly, we at Montclair benefit by the better appreciation and fuller understanding of foreign cultures gained by those of our classmates who go, by the contacts with students from other lands coming here to our own campus, by the added prestige which such a system brings to this Teacher ' s College. There is another value aside from these for the modern foreign language stu- dents. For after living abroad a year, those persons become saturated with the habits and customs of that country, hie no longer translates In terms of his native language; he reaches that level of linguistic fluency which Is the aim of language teaching, namely: to think as well as talk in the foreign language. This year the Foreign Exchange of the State Teacher ' s College at Montclair has had the pleasurable opportunity of receiving two students from other countries: Gabrielle Buquoy of France, and Margarethe Saaf of Austria. Montclair further sent to five various European countries the following students: Yi France — Anna Bahney, Roue nice Bulette, Bourges; Harriet Conklin, Aix en Provence; Alice Degnan, Or- leans; hlelen Eriach, Beauvais; Patricia Murray, Lyons; Rouena Pray, Rennes; Mathilda Savage, Auxerre; Helen Zim- merman, Clermont-Ferrand. Switzerland — Beatrice Gross, Zurich. Germany — Helen Saal, Munchen. Austria — Lillian Schoenbrunn, Vienna; Everdeen Rozema, Vienna. Spain — Bella Sanders, Madrid; Alex- ander Hughes, Madrid; Joseph Maslello, Madrid. Each year since the Inauguration of this system has shown an increase In the number of those students to be sent abroad. The students of the Foreign Language department are confident that under the leadership of Professor Margaret B. Holz, the language faculty. President Sprague, and with the backing of the co-operative student body, the st udent exchange system will continue to send more students abroad, and to foster that modern International spirit, that broader conception and understanding of life, and that added breadth of experience which form our aim as teachers in the high sc ' --- ' - -■ ' M—v }-r ' - ' ;.
