Feelings complex, full of sorrow Permeate the thought of morrow — HOW VERY QUICKLY TIME HAS FLED. Only four short years ago, We enrolled at Panzer College. Although from near and far we came. Yet all had thoughts the same, To leave with skill and knowledge. Sympathy has been the watchword, Which has guided us along the way And the seed that once was sown, By now into a tree has grown Nourished by both work and play. Now we leave thy protecting shelter, To stand upon our own. The winds will blow and we will sway, But straight ahead we ' ll wend our way WHILE SEEDS OF OUR OWN ARE SOWN. — Marty Fischbein Eight ELIZABETH ALTENHOFEN Belty South Division High Scliool Milwaukee, Wisconsin — did nothing in particular, And did it very well.

She came to us from Wisconsin four years ago. A ?liort crop of black hair, brown eyes, and a whale of athletic ability. That ' s what we noticed at a glance but before long we became acquainted with her ready wit and unaffected manner. Betty also has an unusual knack of making a wise evaluation of every problem that she attempts to solve. -iC- iUA Lx— LOUIS CHIEFFO Lou Thomas Jefferson High Scliool Elizabeth, N. J.

The toughest one hundred and forty-five pounder in the school, is the title bestowed upon Lou by Mr. Gorton. Chief is a great little fello Y, always smiling and friendly with every one. In spite of his aversion to too much steady grind in school work, Chief has made a good scholastic record. Page Nine PHILIP J. CUMMINGS Phil St. Peter ' s Prep Jersey Cit -, N. J.

Phil is distinctly the Beaii Brummel of the class of 39. It is a foregone conclusion that with his col egiate dress, his light banter, and his astonishing ability at attracting the freshman girls, he will sign up with Peckham ' s Escort Bureau. Phil is also°a football player of no mean ability. . MARGARET DECKER Marmie Barringer High School Newark, N. J.

Carmine is a man ' s man, and one of the greatest athletes that ever went to Panzer. As benefits a great athlete, he is one of the most modest persons in the class. We suspect that in the future lie will become a model for Panzer ' s student leaders. . ' iD cy O r fTtV L T . -K-t— fi f L Ut i ' ' - . DORIS DRELICH Toots Dickinson High School Jersey City, N. J.

Meet the worker in person. Yes, it ' s Toots, our honor student. How she has time for all the things she does is a mystery to us. Yet with her pleasant disposition, she is ever rcad - to help a friend. ■ Pa e Eleven MADELINE EAGER MacUly Star of the Sea Academy Long Branch, N. J. Her boredom, is exquisite and excessive.

Maddy, one of our most attractive and best dressed seniors, may some day become the wife of a physical education instructor. Since she is Irish she has a hot temper that flares up as quickly as it calms down, and yet, she possesses a great deal of stick-to-it-iveness. She never undertakes a job that she can not bring to a completion. A . Hx . - .A • EMANUEL ELFENBEIN Elf- Central High School Newark, N. J. To its own impulse every creature stirs.

When he isn ' t troubled with a sore toe, the Baron is one of the hardest hitting linemen on the foot- ball squad. With his gift of speech and his hand- some appearance he ' s caused many a feminine heart to flutter.

Gin is one of the most versatile girls in the class. Her abilities in the literary line are well known to her classmates who have been the fortunate recipi- ents of her own inimitable notes. In addition to her atliletic abilities listed above, slie is highly pro- ficient at bowling, tennis, and skating. C ' « 7 JULES S. FAND Julie South Side High School Newark, N. J.

She is five feet two, with brown eyes and a wealtli of lovely brown hair. You must have seen this little senior in one of the demonstration dance groups. Connie ' s business ability is as well known as her willingness to cooperate in any class endeavor. -tM- - t C — ROLLAND HILL Knobby Barringer High School Newark, N. J.

Roily is the misunderstood, member of the class. People don ' t seem to realize his great love for the dramatic, which is his reason for making minor and major distuiliances in the lunchroom, and on the parallel bars. However, his ability as a leader has earned him tiic presidency of his class. PdPe Sci ' oileen JACK LOZOWICK Champ South Side High School Newark, N. J.

Jack and his brief-case make up for all the ap- parently inefficient seniors in the class. He has made Iiimself famous as half the team of Lozowick and Hill. At present he is doing all right by himself with a nice looking femme. JOAN MITCHELL Mitch Newton High School ■Newton, N. J. High grace, the doiver of queens, she has. And sweet siTnplicity .

Tall, slender and agile she knows how to use her physical ability to the best advantage. To her friends, however, Joan is more than a good athlete. Because of her understanding and consideration of others she is recognized as a friend worth having. ' O ' -C y CfO- , X« K v-« V Page Eighteen FRANK MULVIHILL Aloe West Side High School Newark, N.

Frank is large in heart as well as in body, for every one comes to him with his troubles. When Panzer wishes to send a representative to an im- portant meeting, they send Frank, knowing that he will handle the situation as benefits a gentleman and a scholar.

Mickey was voted the class ' s best athlete, and she well deserves the title for she is a member of the North Jersey Field Hockey Association, the Panzer basketball team, and an A-1 soccer player. As great things are expected of Mickey, we know she will make a success. rVL lC t Piiiie N ' liicU ' cn DOROTHY RETALLACK Dee-Dee A ' lillburn High School Millburn, X. J.

A short, turned-up nose, a beautiful set of teeth, and a wit to match her wide awake appearance, that is Dee-Dee, the girl witli the most originality and ambition in the class. She will make some man wife, or some school a good teacher. J Ji- - ? - C 1,.o VIRGINIA SAN FILIPPO Filly Barringer High School Newark, N. J.

If you ever need Ginnie during a free hour you can find her at the Colonial House drinking a coke. Ginnie as a hockey player and as a giggler are two different persons, for hockey is her best sport.

Don ' t hold Zimmy ' s mental acumen against her. She is really a regular sport. As an athlete she pos- sesses grace as well as skill.

Early in the year we chose Vincent Brown, President; Betty Altenhofen, Vice-President; Eileen O ' Connor, Secretary; and RoUand Hill, Treasurer, and decided that united we would stand and divided we would fall — or else! In October, the sophs honored us with a Yuletide dance and entertain- ment. The climax of the season was reached when St. Patrick ' s day was ushered in with true color and all the fixings. Needless to say the job was well done. With the fleeting of the summer months we wasted little time in wel- coming the freshmen. We started our social season with a dance for the new students. Then started the hustle, humiliation, and initiation of sorority and fra ' ernity ' rushees. Dances and more dances — class picnics to Denville and the ole sv. ' imming hole and another year was gone. The opening of our junior year found us indifferent to the freshman antics. The highlight of social events was the Junior Prom which was held at the Hotel Biltmore. Classmates, schoolmates, faculty, alumni and friends at- tended this gala affair. With the return for our senior year, some of our classmates were not with us. With RoUand Hill as President; Maddy Eager, Vice-President; Doris Dre- lish. Secretary; and Herman Felber, Treasurer, our senior year was the most glorious and productive of all. Student teaching was our crowning glory as all of us tried to get hold of our individual tasks with great earnestness and relevancy. We offered our loyal support to every branch of athletics and proved ourselves fervent leaders in the current extra-curricular activities. The last-lap was mingled with mitigation and regret. It was very ap- parent that members of our class were reluctant to leave school and the close association of old friends. Then — graduation overtook us. We had fulfilled our obligations and were thrilled with the result. By the close of the senior year our goal had been reached. We, who had such great plans for the future, were determined to carry with us through life the high ideals of our splendid leaders. Doris Drelich Class Historian. Page Twenty-jour ALL ' S FAIR IN ' 49 All roads lead to the Fair of ' 49. Known in popular conversation as the Jersey Dumps — acres of primeval bog, spongy marshland, — and haven for Burma Shave ads — the site is located in the County of Hague, and includes such population centers as Hague City, Kearny-on-Hague, and Haguerrison. It once presented a scene of stagnant pools, a source of evil odors that threatened asphyxiation to distressed inhabitants for miles around. Since that time the mosquitos have taken over control and have eaten all those inhabitants alive. On this site the world will witness what has been tersely described from dump to glory. The New Jersey World ' s Fair dramatically celebrates the 10th anniversary of the graduation of the illustrious Class of ' 39 of Panzer College. Those who formulated the theme determined that emulation was the highest tribute — that the Fair should attempt to accomplish in our day what these Panzerites did in theirs. The whistling of the wind died down, and our tri-motor plane made a beautiful three point landing. We were directed to the offices of Mr. FRANK MULVIHILL, President, New Jersey World ' s Fair Corp., 1949. Frank had labored mightily for four years to provide this great spectacle. He looked none the worse for it, for he had taken on some avoirdupois. Upon referring to our panoramic map, the Amusement Area presented itself as our first stop. At the north end, representing a medieval forest and archery range fea tured Miss JANET ZIMMERMANN, titleholder of the National Women ' s Archery Championship. Her exhibition displayed infallible marksmanship. Proceeding north, we stopped at the Auto Dodgem, for we had been informed that it was being sponsored by PHIL CUMMINGS, who had made a name for himself in auto racing. In the Marine Amphitheatre, famous Captain Scully of the American Red Cross Aquatic School was staging his Million Dollar Aquacade , starring Miss VIRGINIA ENGELS, the Surface Dive Queen , and featuring many of the alumni of the aquatic school in a spectacular show. Bordering the Plaza, Mrs. ELAINE KOCH KEHR, whose two daughters were in the able hands of a Girl Scout Camp for the summer, was resuming her career by acting as the Director of the Children ' s World. She helped create a highly imaginative realm designed primarily for entertainment but suffused with educational values. We were eager to reach Gorton Avenue, The Academy of Sports was ex- hibiting the outstanding sport trophies of the world-famous athlete, CARMINE DISPENZIERE. We also confirmed the rumor that he finally took the vows with one of our former classmates. By this time we were famished. Entering the Casino of Nations, famous eating-place, whose dining-room accommodates 2000 people and provides the music of a string orchestra, we were escorted to our table by Herr Engle. Mrs. Engle was acting as hostess. VIRGINIA SAN FILIPPO, who sat at the far end of the room, was indulging in a long drink. Our stomachs full and hearts light, we proceeded along FELBER Boule- vard. An impressive Communications and Business Building came into view. Since Pat had made rapid strides in the business world this important field of the Fair had been dedicated to him. In the Book Mart, CONNIE GILENSON was conducting the Book House for Children which featured attracti e and inspirational books of inter est to children. Pjge Tu ' enty-five We were informed as we approached the Fuller Brush Co. exhibit, that MARTY FISHBEIN had been promoted to the position o£ Director o£ Sales. On Wisconsin Boulevard, Miss BEm ALTENHOFEN of the Cosmetics Building was demonstrating how these products have contributed to American loveliness by enhancing the natural beauty of woman. Betty looked very at- tractive with her high coiffure of soft curls. Located betw ' een the Hackensack River and Sunset Ave., the Electrified • Farm, comprising the practical working farm was under the direction of Mrs. JOAN MITCHELL DISPENZIERE. Joan introduced us to her small, well- built daughter. The Hall of Fashion, strikingly modern in design, was devoted to the outstanding fashion creators, LINDER AND EAGER. Although they were still using their maiden names, both Maddy and Myra informed us that they had each married the man of her college days. A buzzing group of people surrounded a rather flustered woman, who was inquiring from a uniformed of- ficer whether her child had been brought to his office. The officer ' s shield bore the name, LOU CHIEFFO, head of the Lost and Found Department, who was busy entertaining found children until their parents were located. Our guide book informed us that the Temple of Religion was under the supervision of EILEEN O ' CONNOR. We visited with her and found her pre- senting a practical demonstration of the fact that America is maintaining her religious heritage of freedom of worship. The Government Zone, uniting the world in amity, presented a delightful exhibition of folk dances under the su- pervision of EVELYN HLADIK. In wandering through the contribution of the United States, we could not overlook the Chairman of the New Jersey State Committee, DOROTHY RETALLACK, who was exhibiting the rich his- torical background and progress in industry in our state. CLARE HOBENS was in charge of the Bergen County division. A large sign read Rahl Rah! Bergen — Bigger and Better Golf Courses. We promised to meet Clare at the 19 hole the following day. The Elgin struck four times. We hurried to the Triangle Tea Room, where the Panzer Alumni were having a Reunion Tea. Mrs. MARMIE DECKER KINNEY, who has been residing in Omaha for the past ten years, had come east to act as hostess. Dr. Margaret C. Brown was our honored guest. She chatted with us and told us that the enrollment of the college had reached 1000 and the buildings now embraced the greater part of Glenwood Avenue. With reluctance we left the Panzer family. Next we entered the Hall of Man. In the cathedral-like chamber stood the figure of a man. The inscription at its base read Model, JULES FAND. Julie, who soon appeared in person mentioned the fact that the Fand Fencing Academy now ranked first in the east. To the left, ROLLAND HILL was representing the Infant Incubator Co., which housed the most modern struc- tures built for the care of premature babies. Tired as we were, we couldn ' t neglect to visit the Production Zone, for we had heard that JACK LOZOWICK and MANNY ELFENBEIN were sponsors of the Men ' s Apparel Guild. Jack appeared to be washing his face much farther back these days. Manny was real sharp as usual. As night fell, and the flood of multi-colored lights drenched the sky, we wended our way back to our plane. As I rested my head on the back of my seat, I could only dream of the days ten long years ago. Doris Drelich Class Prophet. Page Tiventy-six CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1939, being of sound mind and body, a though the for- mer is much doubted by the faculty, do hereby publish and declare this, our last will and testament. Its purpose is to give future editors of the Olympia something to copy. First: To our much-abused faculty, we bequeath our sincere gratitude for hours of torture, endured for our sakes. Second: To the student body, we heartily bequeath our art of gracefully doing nothing. May they meet with as much success as we did. Third: To the class of 1940, we bequeath all the trials and tribulations of the senior year, and direct said beneficiaries to bear these burdens with much pride and dignity. In addition we make the following bequests, with the fond hope that they will be used to the best possible advantage and with the least possible hard feelings: (a) To the freshmen we cede the first two rows of seats which are to be usf ' d for chapel and health conferences. (b) To the sophisticated sophomores, we bequeath the odors emanating from the Lab. , the spaciousness of the lunch room, and pleasure of tormenting the freshmen. (c) To the juniors, the privileges of Gorton Hall , and the authority to play chickee at said place. (d) To the undergraduates, our best set of excuses. (e) To the Hagueville mob, we bequeath the meadows and that quality of substance which makes it perceptible to the sense of smell. (f) To Herman Knuppel, we bestow a pair of scissors with which to clip the whiskers of the pedagogues on the walls. (g) To Robby , we leave the properly placed and arranged thread-like outgrowth of the scalp of Betty Altenhofen. (h) To Mr. and Mrs. Engel, the services of a certified public accountant, to cope with the rushing business of bigger and better charge accounts. The foregoing is the legal will and testament of the class of 1939. In ivitness tvhereof, we hereby subscribe our name and seal, to our last will and testament on this third day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine.

Vice-President Geraldine Crampton Secretary Donald MacPhail Treasurer In 1936, Panzer College was honored by a group of sincere cooperative students, who, with high ideals and ambitions, started their freshman year with a grand debut. The class elected Joseph Huemer, president, Gertrude Dolan, vice-presi- dent, Florence McDermott secretary, and Paul Riley treasurer. Our first success was a St. Valentine ' s dance given to the Sophomore Class, followed by a picnic for our own members which we ' ll suirely never forget. To end our glorious year we took an active part in the demonstration and commencement exercises. The same year we met again in Aquatic School for ten days of work and play. During the summer, our folk dance group represented Panzer College at the Convention of the National Federation of Business and Professional ' VC o- men ' s Clubs at Atlantic City. In September of 1937 we renewed our friendships as the Sophomore Class, and elected a new set of officers. To continue the school tradition of in- itiating the freshmen, we appointed Geraldine Crampton and Michael Gross- man as co-chairmen. Our first event was a Freshman-Sophomore acquaintance dance as a peace . offering to the Class of 1941. In our junior year the girls became big sisters to the incoming fresh- men women, and gave them a tea of welcome. Throughout three years, the class had been planning for our gala event, the Junior Prom. It was held in the Hotel Pennsylvania on February 28, 1939. Need it be said what a splendid affair it was! After completing our duty to the school and our classmates thus far, we will endeavor to fulfill our ideals and hopes to close our days at Panzer with the same determination with which we entered.

Pao e Thirty-two HISTORY OF FRESHMAN CLASS Strange sights were seen at Watsessing Park in the early part of Septem- ber. Pale-faced Indians wandered about in constant terror of the enemy Soph- omore Tribe, who had the habit of showing up at the most unexpected places. With time, the Indians formed a tribe of surprising strength; the squaws de- feated the Sophomore Tribe at hockey and softball. The braves also came through with flying colors, taking first place at the annual track meet. Initia- tion was brought to a close by a trial in which the Freshman Class was the defendant. Acquittals were made; sentences were served; and we were offi- cially admitted into the Panzer family. Now as full-fledged members, we set about electing the following offi- cers: president, George Aumack; vice-president, Eleanor Halloran; treasurer, Donald Simpson; secretary, Jean Burgess. We all set sail on January. 21, to a nautical party given by the Freshmen in honor of the Sophomore Class, now our fast friends. Few cases of sea sick- ness were reported and as stated by the ship ' s log, an enjoyable time was had by all. For ourselves, we could ask for nothing more than three more years to- gether, filled with as much happiness as our first. For the class of ' 39 we wish continued success in the field of teaching.
