f 1v i flrifb lfroin hooks. A great part of the worldls wisdom comes from hooks-hooks ol international scope to hooks of purely local interest. And a type of local hook is the community history. ln many respects, the Hcrezlle over the past fifty years has served as a history ol' Newark Senior lligh School. Before 1911 there had heen some pulm- lication efforts such as lletuek, hut in 1911 a seed fell on fertile groundg the lieecillc tools root and has flourished sinee. The initial issue was dated March 1, 1911. Three issues were published that year. The idea of an annually evolved rather rapidly, however, for hy june, 1914. there was issued a Connneneeinent nuniher that included pictures of mem- hers of the graduating class. During the years from 1911 to 1917 there were six issues puhlished each year. Each issue contained departments consisting of such items as stories, essays, and poems hy students, editorials, letters from readers, jokes, and adyertisements. There was some news, hut a large proportion of it was in the realm of athletics. C111 this respect NHS has made no change over the years.1 The school year 1916 - 1917 however, marked a departure from the routine estalwlisliecl in 1911. lnstead of issuing six magazines, the staff pulm- lished sixteen issues of a hi-weekly newspaper, which followed somewhat the format of the current Rereille Iieivieut lt was printed commercially. The year ended, ueyertheless, with the traditional annual. XVhereas the final issue of the first year of puhlication contained fifty-two pages, hy 1917 the animal had gone to sixty-four pages. Again in 1918 the liereille published a newspaper. Because of the world war, howeyer, the annual was called Taps.

dents who were on the staff of T aps-Iames K. Miller, editor, G. Charnock Wilson, busi- ness manger, Donald C. Power, art manager, and Paul S. Schonberg, advertising manager, believed there should be such a publication and issued one of their own volition. Taps contained eighty pages. In September of 1918 the newspaper was discontinued be- cause of the war. After the armistice of No- vember, 1918, the publication returned to the six-issue magazine. By 1920 the Reveille annual had reached 100 pages and had ac- quired a more durable cover. The 1926 annual marked a step forward in planning the yearbook. It introduced a cen- tral art scheme, a new style of binding, and a new kind of insert page. The production, along with these several magazine issues, was made up in a newly organized journalism class whose members received one - half credit per year for their efforts. In addition to the six issues. the staff published a full page of high school news in each of the local papers. the American Tribune and the Newark Advocate. During the school year 1926- 1927 the Reveille News was introduced. The paper was run off on a multigraph machine. which had been presented to the school in 1926. In 1928 the Reveille staff published a bi-weeklv news sheet. four magazines, and the annual. The 1929 animal enlarged its page size from the old 694 x 1035 to 794 x 1034, a size it has continued to date. By 1930 iournalism was established as a full-credit subject. The staff issued four magazines, twenty-nine numbers of the news sheet. and the annual. However, the year 1930 - 1931 saw the drop- ping of the magazine. During the school year 1935 - 1936 the gradual change-over from multigraph to mimeograph was made in publishing the news sheet so that by the fall of 1936 the school newspaper was en- tirelv mimeographed. The 1937 annual was unusual in that it was published on paper of a dark buff color or sepia. Interestingly the price of the annual was one dollar, a price that had been main- tained for some years. The 1938 and 1939 yearbooks graduated to a semi-hard cover. but it was not until 1940 that the Reveille blossomed into a volume with a hard casing. In 1951 the annual graduated to the pad- ded cover, but otherwise the book remained 2 much the same as it had in the past ten years. And then at the beginning of the school year 1952- 1953 the Reveille News ceased publi- cation. News of the school was supplied daily to the Newark Advocate. From this point on no credit has been given for iournalism. In the fall of 1953 a newspaper was again published under the name of the Reveille Review. It remained a mimeographed maga- zine issued once a month until the autumn of 1956 when it once again became a printed newspaper issued once a month. During the year 1958- 1959 an attempt was made to issue the paper twice a month, a policy that was followed the latter part of the school year, but in 1959 - 1960, because of the lack of facilities and time, the paper again has been issued monthly. Meanwhile the annual for 1959 had re- turned to the hard cover, primarily because of the cost of the padded cover. For the past several years it had grown into a book of 240 pages at the price of 33.50. And so we arrive at the point where the reader has this issue in his hands-the Beveille that marks the Golden Anniversary of the publication. Over the years the annual has remained more conservative than many yearbooks by not sacrificing copy to a surfeit of pictures. Because of its peculiar function as a history to which many people in the community and in the school system turn for information, advisers and staffs have felt that the book should not be glamorized to the point of use- lessness to the detriment of future reference. Although the chief architects of the year- book have been the editorial staff, not a small part of its success over these past fifty years goes to the business staffs, patron staffs. and advertisers. Without the hard work of business staffs and the loyal support of ad- vertisers, the Heveille would have ceased publication years ago. What of the future? At this writing the staff of the 1960 book hopes that in 2010 another group will be able to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the Reveille Annual and that it will continue to be a repository of information to enrich the lives of students and alumni who peruse its pages in order to stimulate their memories and an aid to future historians of Newark Senior High School and the City of Newark.
