If-HC .SCa,1rlCt'R8.'U c Q51 SAUL SI-IAPIRO Coach From his first position as coach of the McClellan Lassies and Midget Boys' Club in 1923, to the summer of 1926, when he served as Director of the Wee- quahic Park Playground, many organizations witnessed his marked ability as coach, as well as player. During the last football season Mr. Shapiro served as assistant football coach of the Central High School team which tied for the Class A State Championship winning every game. Mr. Shapiro's work with our team has been noteworthy. After two anemic basketball seasons, he grasped the reins and piloted our quintet through an extremely successful year. His insistence upon hard, clean playing and abso- lute ban on all rough or unsportsmanlike tactics have made him admired and respected by all followers of the sport. The student body take this opportunity through the pages of the SCARLET RAY to congratulate Mr. Shapiro upon his work this year and extend these, their words of appreciation. I Page 1041

Basketball Team The Basketball team was especially fortunate this year in securing the ser- vices of Mr. Saul B. Shapiro as Mentor. Born, raised, and educated in Newark, Mr. Shapiro has long been identified in local fields of sport. In his high school days he starred as forward on the Monmouth Street School Basketball team that won the Junior City Championship of Newark in 1916. Four years of varsity basketball and football at Central High School added to his athletic training and after graduation he continued to participate in both sports with the teams of the Newark Y. M. H. A. Mr. Shapiro entered Newark State Normal School of Physical Education and Hygiene in the fall of 1925. During his Freshman year there, he played varsity basketball as running guard and was a member of the Gym Team, specializing in rope climbing. Due to pressure of after-school and evening work, he was forced to give up sports temporarily. He graduated with honors from Normal School in June, 1927. In his spare time previously While in school Mr. Shapiro played with several club teams and with the Orange Y. M. H. A. I Page 1031

ffhc SCdI'l2-19113.15 X- CAPTAIN VICTOR SCHLANGER The credit for having led our basketball team through the most success- ful season in its history is due Vic.', No one has been more instrumental than he in keeping up the Hghting spirit of the quintet and in making possible our continued victories. As a perfect defense man he has kept our opponents, score low, as a per- fect leader he has raced through a season with flawless harmony and team work. Vic will be missed next year on the court-but we know that his work on the court of life will be just as faultless and successful as it has been while playing the game for old N. C. P. ROY V. SHATAFIAN All Scholastic Shatafiann is an example of an athlete that can mix sports with studies. Although Roy has played every game for his Alma Mater, he has also ranked high in his studies. Rather than a spectacular player he has been of the type known as Con- sistent. He has always played a hard, clean game and is an example of the good sportsmanship that should always exist in athletic competitions. MAX EDLIN Last season Mads playing was handicapped by his responsibilities as Captain, but this season he has been free to enter the thick of the struggle and he has been one of our stars. Mac was one of the highest scorers of the sea- son-long shots, short shots, hawkers, all were in the day's game for him. For three years Mac,' has given his best for old N. J. C. P. and Com- mencement means the loss of a great player from the team of '28, ABRAHAM BERGMAN Abe has been our most dependable player. In three years he hasn't missed a practice or a game. Nor has he ever murmured a complaint at any order or advice that has been given. His humor has kept the team in good spirits on all of its trips-he has been the life of the party on every occasion.
