Eric says, It should be the aim of all underclassmen to engage in as many extracurricular activities as possible. Sports is a good way to do this and gain recognition. Through clubs like the Hi-Y and Key Club you as an individual benefit your school, your commun- ity, and yourself. Work conscien- tiously at all times towards creat- ing, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Chris- tian character. Working towards this end, you will accomplish much and lay the foundations for clean democratic living. This tall, brown-haired senior plans to go to Rutgers and study in the business field with the idea of entering foreign marketing. ll if SF DOUG REINA advises us to engage in as many extracurricu- lar activities as possible, since they are a necessity in a well balanced high school career. Doug's experience in high school has been a good example of this statement. He has been secretary of Key Club, Magistrate of Bor- ough Day and a member of the National Honor Society, and was president of his class during his freshman, sophomore, and junior years. He has also engaged in varsity football and freshman and JV baseball.

John Hoagland Thomas Dailey Louis Recchia Thank You ' The graduating seniors have much to thank teachers, advisers, and other school officials for. As we recall our years in NPHS we are very grateful to those who have helped us in so many ways. In years to come we will look back amd recall the friendliness, advice, and help which they have so un- selfishly given to us. The TUNLAW staff would like to take this opportunity to thank all those teachers and club presi- dents who have cooperated with us in editing the paper. So many have done so much to aid us in the way of giving information and their time. Then too, we wish to thank the faculty advisers of the TUNLAW. They have devoted many long hours after school, and we are ap- preciative of this. Many times people are unaware of all that takes place behind the scenes. And so, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who are deserv- ing of it. A Challenge! It would be quite shocking to some people if they returned to school in the fall to find that there no longer is a TUNLAW. Most of you take this publication for granted, and never stop to realize that there is a possibility that the TUNLAW be discontinued. Next September many of you will have to work on TUNLAW, or this very thing will happen. Out of a school of over one thousand, it is a disgrace to even have to urge students to act upon this. Each of you, whether you are a freshman, sophomore, or junior, would do well to think seriously about this, Next year there will be a journalism class. We especially en- courage you who are taking this course to Work on TUNLAW. So in September when the tryouts are held, remember to join the staff. A discontinuation of TUNLAW would be a disgrace to our school! Bouquets - . . . . to the seniors for their excellent leadership of NPHS. They have given the underclass- men a good example to follow in their management of school affairs. . I was talking to a senior the other day. After a little prodding, she started to reminisce. It's strange how little prodding it takes to get a senior to remi- nisce nowadays. 'I remember fa truly classic openlng!J, she said, when I was a freshman. Was that only four years ago? It seems like centuries. That was the year the Radio Workshop broadcast a Christmas play-two in fact-from radio station WXNJ in the Plainfield National Bank building. I feel even older when I think that that radio station isn't there any more. The Dramatic Club put on Arsenic and Old Lace and Mother Is a Freshman, a zany play about a 35-year-old window who goes to college on a scholarship. Our football, basketball, and baseball teams didn't run up any spectacular records that year, al- though the track team won the County Title. The football team lost 5 out of 9 games. In our sophomore year the football team made the same record as in the year before that-lost 5 out of 9-a strange coincidence. The themes of our dances were products of vivid imaginations-I've been looking in old issues of TUNLAW-'Poverty Ball,' 'Turkey Trot,' 'Sleigh Bell Serenade,' 'Junior Fiesta! Our class put on 'Da Dogpatch Drag! Of course, last year we really started getting active. We put on an elephant sale, and our Junior Assembly, the 5-4 Varieties' was a big success. Quite a variety of clothes--sports outfits, gowns, and street dresses-were featured in the Junior Fashion Show. Then, topping off a perfect year in a perfect way was the Junior Prom, 'Stairway to the Stars,' which was held at Martinsville Inn. This Year we finally reached the stars at the end of that stairway-and believe me it was a long climb. I won't soon forget the Senior Assembly. There's only one word for it-it was professional. Everyone did a swell job, but I especially remember Al Ellis' 'Dragnet' sketch. It was a scream. Some- thing new was added on the more serious side this year--the election of a Senior Borough Government. We elected a mayor, tax assessor, tax collector, councilmen and board of education. I think it's a fine idea, It encourages the students to take an in- terest in their town when they have even a small part in its government. That's enough of speeches. The Senior Day went over with no outstanding upsets. What's more, I think some of the students actually learned something from the seniors. And we certainly enjoyed it! We've really accomplished quite a bit during our four years at NPHS-for ourselves, and-I hope -for our school. l'l1 be just as proud to be an alumna of NPHS as I've been to be a student here. I may have complained about all the work I've had to do-but now that the work-this work, at least -is over, I'm glad that I've done it. What I've ac- complished has been worth the trouble I've put into it. I'1l be sorry to leave, in some respects. High school is one of the most wonderful parts of our lives, but none of us seems to realize that until we're ready to leave. Class night and commencement will probably drive those morose thoughts of sorrow about leav- ing from that particular senior's mind. Once she has a diploma in her hand, I don't think she'll feel like starting all over again. Do you? 'A year can be an awfully long timwyet it can be shorter than a few seconds. Know what I mean? When I think that I was a freshman only three years ago, and next year--I don't know if I want to think about it. You seniors must remember fwell, maybe you don't want to remember eitherll that you were juniors only last year, This year is practically over. This coming Sep- tember we juniors will take up where the seniors leave off. I hope we can do as well as they have done. To all of the seniors-success and, most impor- tant, happiness in the future. We'll miss you. Love, Sadie 4 0 TUNLAW Friday, June 4, 1954 The Oak Hill Dairy, Inc., of South Plamfield recently elected Marshall C. Poole, Jr., a graduate of 1950, asia director.

Cllli Smith-Short lunch hours. The End of School The end of school is almost here. It is to seniors an occasion dear. It means the end of four long years Of hard work, fun, and happy tears, And means for some more school to come. It means to juniors one more year Of friendship, toil, and good cheer It means to sophomores two more years Of work, work, work, and teachers near. It means to freshmen three more years Of what the student mainly fears. And to mcoming freshmen those four long years That are iilled with hard work, full, and happy tears.
