Gordon James Lindsay Caldwell Entered N.A. 1947 Cool as a moosefu Entrenched at N.A. since Primary 3, Cordon has long impressed us as a laboratory whiz. The large scale ex- plosions filling the East Orange atmosphere have re- cently shifted to Caldwell, but they have not subsided. When in school he can usually be found engrossed in a bull session with Messrs. Tappen, Kunkemueller, and Reimer, or constructing a lie-detector in the Physics room. We shall remember Gordon for his daily addi- tions to the Bulletin Board, carefully salvaged from the local tabloids. His greatest claim to fame, however is the astounding total of watches radios bicycles and televisions won as the outstanding salesman in the magazine drives Intramural Football 1 2 3 4 5 Intramural Basketball 1 5 Intramural Baseball 1 2 3 4 5 Intramural Volley ball 5 Science Club 2345 President 34 Library Committee 5 Chess Team 5 Rifle Club 12345 Dance Committee 4 5 Peter Howard Livingston South Orange Entered N A 1955 Hey Mtke whats your answer to number ve? proved a steadymg and salutary influence among the more boisterous members of the class An active par t1c1pant in Intramurals he has also done a fine job as Vice President of the Library Committee Throughout his two year stay at NA Petes name has become synonymous with the Honor Roll A fine writer he is servmg on the Editorial staff of the Attrc the NA literary magazine Intramural Basketball 45 Intramural Football 4 5 Intramural Volleyball 5 Baseball 4 KJ V l 5 Minute Man 4 5 Stamp Club 4 Library Committee Vice Presi dent 5 Attic flfditorl 5 Religious Conference 4 Page I9 7 9 9 9 7 7 9 3 1 3 9 1 9 9 i ' 4 ' ,,,, ' , : ' 4 4 ' ,,,, 9 ,. - U I ,, I , 9 ' IV V, ' Pete's friendly disposition and quiet sense of humor have LY 1 . . . , ' K n 9 . ., , I . , .

Arthur Meyers Fair Lawn Entered N.A. 1954 Let,.s face it, guysf, Primarily through Art's efforts as President, the Student Council has functioned as never before. Under his lead- ership it joined the N. I. State Association of Student Councils and rejuvenated that old intangible called school spiritf' A smart ball-handler and keen com- petitor, Art captained the basketball team. These same leadership qualities were aliirmed by his election as Co-captain of the baseball team. Art is not without his fun-loving side- in spite of his many abilities he can always be found contributing to any general uproar. He IS however a capable and steady student whose dependability makes him one of the class real leaders Student Council fVlCC Presldentj 4 fPres1dentJ 5 Jazz Club 4 Stamp and Co1n Club 4 Basketball Sec ond Team 3 Varsity 4 fCapta1nD 5 Baseball Varsity 4 fCo Captalnj 5 Intramural Football 3 Walter Leo Collins Pileger Berlin Entered N A 1956 Walt Jolned us this year from Berlin N J Although we have only known him for a short time Walt has 1m pressed us with his quiet but decisive mdlvlduahty We often see or hear hlm 1n earnest argument with Pete Hahn on some serious spmtual subject His ency clopedic knowledge of baseball statistics and his ability as a cafeteria trencherman have earned him the respect of all Walt we feel has many unexplored depths we wish he had come earlier Minute Man 5 Spanish Club 5 Stamp and Com Club 5 Page 21 7 7 . 7 7 . . . , . . . . , .
