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 . . . , . . . . , .

Christopher joseph Reilly South Orange Entered N.A. 1950 Have a heart, Macfv Chris is our chair-tag, penny-pitching, and match-book football champion-a veritable extra-curricular indoor sports star and a compendium of rules for these activ- ities. On the serious side, Chris has developed into a conscientious and capable student over the years and his work on the Library Committee has done much to brighten that section of the school. His subtle sense of humor and Irish wit-not to mention occasional flurries of Irish temper-have been the cause of much of the raucous laughter emanating from the senior study hall.
