This spirit is many sided, it is compounded out of the energy of carefree youth, the ioy of winning and the sadness of losing, the respect and affection for our teachers, the realization that we are growing physically, mentally, and socially, and final- ly that it is our Alma Mater which helpfully guides us in this quest.

Even now with many fruitful years ahead of us we already have those traditional mem- ories behind us: of when we were timid seventh-graders wandering through that vast institution that has seemingly shrunk with each iet-propelled year, or of when we fiaunted our authority as eighth-graders in an atempt to conceal our insecurity. Can anyone forget the ever-popular seventh-grade slam books with all those deceiving predictions? Those were also the years of our provocative tea dances where we tripped into that famed N. A. Walk of ill-repute and were trapped for six years. Remember how Susan Howell and Carole Hutter led the girls' gym class in a harmless game of touch Cheer, cheer for old N. A. High! - :L-' 1- 'fk'?3'.. 1- N Our Class football in which Clemi Dobson was carried off the field? The eighth grade brought us Mr. Baskin, our first taste of languages, the almost undefeated football team, and Miss Pelissier's Harvey the Invisible Rabbit versus George Mil- ler's Boob Arlington McNut, Jr., lll. In the May Day cele- bration our versions of How Are Things in Gloccamorra'?' and Raggedy Ann proved our musical abilities and round- ed off two years of lower-than-lower classmen. Finally, with the slamming of our own long awaited lock- ers, with George Miller as our first Class President, and the actuality of the Class of '56 , we merged into N.A.H.S.'s spirit as full-fledged freshmen. Ancient history, foreign lan- guages, algebra, and shop soon became old friends as they laid the groundwork for subiects to come. With the help of Mrs. Witherall we lumped headlong into the social swing with our dance called Make-Believe Ballroom , a huge success both financially and otherwise. That was the year of Miss Genovese's Travel Talk Club, Mr. Burke's famed 1 f' .ls l-'QQS' , Do you really think Mr. Nielsen will accept it? sea tales, Camille Della Volpe's becoming the youngest cheerleader, and Large Ed Peacock's winning his repu- tation as the tallest technician in captivity. Another year- another batch of memories, and we were really on our way. Our sophomore year marked the beginning of Mr. Joseph Flimlin's career as principal of N.A.H.S., the tricks of the typing trade, Julius Caesar , detention hall, the triangles and tribulations of geometry, and minor operations on frogs and worms. In Mr. De Marco's department a live alligator, Rudilee, was caught and named after one of our enter- prising biologists - Rudy Jacobson. In the entertainment world the Mardi-Gras , a take-off on that famous New Orleans event, featured the talents of our class pantomimers and the Syncopaters . Remember how Jane Gallo stopped the music and held up the audience as an outlaw, complete down to pistols and western twang? Climaxed by that drizzly trip to the Bronx Zoo where Tommy Haggan and company starved, our sophomore year rolled by and then we were 30 In Retrospect at the halfway mark. In l955, under our new football coach, Mr. Tully, and with a fair showing of Juniors, the team won its first game in two years. On the other hand, our fabulous basketball team finished second in the State Championship finals. ln November, The Varsity Drag , complete to a Model T Ford, thanks to Eddie Burns, inspired several of our modern flappers to revive the Charleston. Taking Miss Genovese's advice, Know Thyself and Think , we embarked upon Career Papers with Joan Matera and Edwin Peacock win- ning first places. To compensate for the loss of her famous Think sign Jack Maltby and Norman Millar came up with three huge signs quoting her- Enthusiasm , lntelli- gence , and KnowIedge . In Mrs. StefTens's last May Day, Clemi Dobson as the convincing devil and Camille Della Volpe as the heart- warming angel proved their dramatic ability in making it the best May Day ever. Exemptions from exams, Junior When the cat's away, the mice will play. Guidance, prexy John Calabrese, and our beautiful school rings were significant of our exciting Junior year. The Hotel Suburban set the scene for our Junior Prom, that social suc- cess which practically bankrupted us. Our financial embarrassment was soon ovecome by Hank Bruzza's adept manipulation of the Christmas card and iewelry sale. ln December Pat Fabiano and friends sprayed themselves, a house, a car, and the real obiect, an im- mense Christmas tree, with silver paint for that long-to-be- remembered dance, Christmas in Heaven . It was then that Doug Kientz switched roles from Class President to Santa Claus to announce the selection of May Queen Jane Meikle and her attendants, Eight o'clock classes, the ones Joe Bosco and Jerry Dugan couldn't make, senior pictures at Todd's, enormous punctuation marks, Time magazine, Advanced Foods with Ken Powers as chief chef, the girls' home nursing course where Janice Carlton demonstrated the art of bondaging, 31 fit? Seniors in conference with our very special friend, Mrs. Davidson. and Nancy Burr and Phyllis Godfrey's uproarious rendition of Takes Two to Tango made up the unforgettables of our Senior year. Rudy Jacobson as football captain, John Calabrese as basketball captain, Jack Maltby as track cap- tain, and Hank Bruzza as baseball captain proved our class worthy of the title-athletes. Our class trip, the crowning of our May Queen, the Senior play, Class Night, and our ultimate goal, Graduation, fulfilled our long-sought goals in education. From here on in we are on our own. Some of us will ioin the service, some will work, some will marry, some will go on to college. No matter what we do we must always remember and give credit to Mr. Flimlin, our prin- cipalg Mrs. Davidson, our much appreciated counselor, our teachers, and our parents for the educational opportunities they have provided. ln the world of tomorrow we will pro- gress, these memories will remain, and new footprints will be added. Now good-bye, Alma Mater, and thanks for those wonderful, wonderful years!

FOCDT The l955 football squad, which met the coaches in Sep- tember, was not a strong one, primarily because of the scarcity of seniors, of whom there were only six, and of iuniors, of whom there were only three. This weak condition proved itself as the schedule developed, forthe Vikings produced a two won, six lost record. However, there were some bright sports. The squad con- sisted of fourteen sophomores and two freshmen, most of whom saw considerable action. This large group of experienced play-V ers bodes well for the future. Under the leadership of Mr. Paul Kelly, new head coach, Mr. Al Parelli, line coach, and Mr. John Kaelin, the Vikings won their opening game by beating Woodridge l5-l3. ln addition to a safety in the second quarter scored by Ken Pow- ers, the Narls held the Blue Devils to I3 points, while they themselves also tallied l3, thus making a I5-13 Viking victory. Although solidly beaten 31-7 by Glen Ridge in the second game, N. A. came back strongly in the third game to hold Metuchen scoreless until the last quarter when the Bulldogs scored a touchdown to win 6-O. On the following Saturday, a Aber receiving pass, Ken Pow- ers is tackled in Metuchen game. I Norm Rittweger and Jerry Dugan FRONT ROW, left to fighir -l, work out on the charging sled Hakim, A.

Wx ALL cold, rainy day, a strong Wallington eleven plowed through the mud and the Vikings for two touchdowns and conversions to win 14-O. Now without the services of Pete Skolsky, iniured Viking center, the Narls traveled to Weehawken, Clirnaxing a well- played game by Captain Rudy Jacobson and Ken Powers, N,A. scored eight points in the fourth quarter for an 8-7 victory. The last three games ofthe season were losses to St. Mary's 26-12, Hawthorne 21-13, and Bergenfield 14-7. All were hard-fought contests, and there was a notable improve- ment in the line play. Bolstered by Joe Bosco, Jerry Dugan, and Angelo Ballestero, the Vikings were charging lower and hitting harder. Although St. Mary's, Hawthorne and Bergen- field outscored N. A., none showed the aggressive team spirit which this promising sophomore-laden Viking squad demon- strated. Lack of experience held down the team's effectiveness, but Captain Rudy Jacobson, the field general, led the team to a much better season than the record would indicate. ROW: G. Jeck, J.

This year his greatest difficulty is filling the gap created by the departure of Bob Brummer, whose strong right arm will be sorely missed on the mound. How' ever, with returnees Hank Bruzza, Tom Haggan, Ray Sav- age, Al Smith, and John Calabrese, Mr. Collins has formed the nucleus ofa strong baseball team. The versatile Captain Bruzza, assigned to third base, is expected to give an excellent performance at the hot cor- ner, his booming bat contributing much to the team's suc- cess. Tom Haggan at second base, Ray Savage, Al Smith and John Calabrese in the outfield also play heads-up ball. Other positions have been filled by promising sophomores as there seems to be a dearth of talent among iuniors. Lack of experience on the part of these young players might put the outcome of a few games in jeopardy, but as the season progresses they will gain skill and confidence which will be reflected in their play. Thus Mr. Collins is assured ofa foundation for his baseball team during the next two sea- sons. 1 Highlight of the season is the game with the West Point plebes at West Point. The Vikings expect to see the college and grounds, have lunch with the Cadets, and watch them drill. This is an innovation which can prove to be very popular with the N, A. team, one which they hope their suc- cessors will enioy. Although the Four-County Conference was discontin' ued this year, leaving the Vikings without league competi- tion, the team faces the same powerful teams in Roselle, Clifford Scott, and Cranford, and is expected to give credit- able account of themselves. lndeed, the season's record is expected to be one of which North Arlington High School may be iustly proud. .

Each year as June approaches, it is with mixed feelings that a coach watches his stars graduate, with pride in their accomplishments and dismay at their loss. As spring rolls around again and with it the opening of the track season, the question arises: where to find replace- ments? This year is no exception. Mr. Paul Kelly has had to start all over again to build a team that will compare favorably with those of the past which have given N. A. its reputation of being traditionally strong in track. Gone is Ted Trust, state champion and holder of the school record in the broad lump and who also excelled in the dashes, gone are Ed Wnuck, leading half-miler, and Bob Gaeckle, tops in the field events. However, with Captain Jack Maltby returning for the quarter-mile, Bob Steele in the half- mile, and Richie Hakim in the broad lump, Coach Kelly is not without experienced performers. These are ably backed by a group of eager candidates each willing to cooperate to the limit of his ability and all imbued with a great team spirit. Of such are champions made! The 1956 slate includes nine dual meets plus the state championships, and as the season progresses, this team gives evidence of being able to win more than its share of these events. Watching these boys as they practice so earnestly, one gets the impression that here again Mr. Kelly has succeeded in building a team which, true to tradition, will inspire pride in North Arlington and command the respect of its competitors.

The Junior Robin Hoods worked hard throughout the night, trying ta keep their last year s title. Here they are in their original march to the tune of Robin Hood Senior Pixies Win Late in 1954, Mrs. Steffens started a girls' sports night which would give her girls a chance for some interesting competition in original marching, dances, songs, skits, cheers, and games. After announcing the idea to her gym classes, she ran a contest to select a name for the sports night. The winner was Barbara Phillips of the class of 1956, who called it The Vi-Queen's Cavalcade of Sports. In February, 1955, the first Vi-Queen's Cavalcade of Sports was held, with the class of 1957 emerging victorious. The first Sports Night was a success, but during that night maior flaws were dis- covered and so Mrs. Steftens and her gym classes began planning forthe 1956 Sports Night with new, energetic, original ideas. To say that the 1956 Cavalcade was a success would be an understatement. The evening more than filled the greatest expectations of every girl. X 'All as ,,, Elizabeth East, Senior Pixie Chairman, happily ac cepts the coveted Sports Night trophy from Judge Collins while the Senior girls shrieked with wild delight on the stage, Jane Meikle in the foreground and Jane Case pumping excitedly into the air are a part of the Pixie Congress, which met to decide the fate of the underclassmen in the Seniors original skit Sports Night Eyes widened as the demure freshmen surprised the audience with a hula, depicting their theme, Dial 'V' for Victory -they dialed Hawaii. The bonnie sophomores were clad in plaid tartans throughout the evening, making their Highland Fling doubly effective. The iuniors, as Robin Hoods, had a distinct advantage in the volleyball games in the form of Roberta Sandquist, so they naturally won the volleyball finals with ease. However, best of all in Sports Night were the Seniors, who, in dropping their sophistication for the evening, re- turned to their childhood world of Pixies to have a whirlwind of a time. Who will ever forget the Senior skit when Carol Hutter, the unsuspecting telephone, had her wires cut by Dorothy lberer as a punishment pronounced by the Pixie Congress headed by Jane Meikle and Clemi Dobson? Or who will forget Nancy Burr's professional horsemanship to the chants of Robin Hood, Robin Hood, coming through the glen. . when she was annihilated by Phyllis God- frey? After Eleanor Gargan's discreet destruction of the Scotch lassie, Patti Broadfoot, Nancy Hayden's last Dis- pose ofthe body! was heard and it was clear to all that the foes were under the power ofthe Pixies. ln the sporting events, Camille Della Volpe, Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening, was thrilled as she announced that the Seniors had trounced the underclassmen in the bas- ketball finals and in the comical, nerve-wracking relays. These decisive factors probably had much weight onthe iudges' decision of awarding the Seniors the title of victors in the 1956 Vi-Queen's Cavalcade of Sports. Senior Pixies were the b-ees-t, best, They were better than the r-e-s-t, rest. Yes, they fought with all their m-i-t-e, might, Senior Pixies really won Sports Night. Right?l As a part of their original march the Seniors were the picture of success as they stepped lively to the tune of The Wooden Sol diersf r. iL1Qi:.iQ gg, - MNA . ifgf,-jk-,.-,-,,dM-Q A5 'I 'f-- 1 '- - -li.1: 'fii1 j flux' I . . s 1 , E .'
