From data collected by the selec- tive service at that time, it was discovered that thirty-three per cent of the men called for national service were physically unfit. Throughout the nation physical education was made compulsory in the public schools by the state legislatures. In New Jersey, the Pierson Act stipulated that, There shall be established and made a part of the course of instruc- tion in the public schools of the State what shall be known as ' A Course in Physical Training ' . This act became school law, but there were no instructions in the State for the pre- paration of teachers of physical training and hygiene. Therefore, in the fall of 1917, a group of interested men and women established the Newark Normal School of Physical Education and Hygiene in the City of Newark. Randall D. Warden and Matthias H. Ma- cherey, Supervisors of Physical Education in the Newark Public Schools, were elected Presi- dent and Vice-President respectively, of the newly founded institution. The curriculum was a two-year normal course in physical education and hygiene for both men and women. Mr. Warden and Mr. Macherery relinquished their connections with the school in 1910, and Henry Panzer was appointed President. Property was purchased in East Orange and a new building erected in 1926. Immediately after the change in location there was a reorganization of the school into a teachers ' college. In December, 1928, the State Board of Education of New Jersey approved the four-year curriculum and authorized the college to grant the degree of Bachelor of Physical Education. The name of the insti- tution was changed by the Board of Trustees to Panzer College of Physical Education and Hygiene in honor of its President, Henry Panzer, who died in October, 1932. As his suc- cessor the Trustees selected Miss Margaret C. Brown, who had been Dean and Registrar of the College since 1921. In 1938, the State Board of Education gave Panzer College the authority to confer a degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. The year 1944, the twenty-seventh anniversary of Panzer College, found our nation engaged in another World War. Records show that two hundred and twenty-nine alumni and students, including six women, have en:ered the armed forces. The college program was streamlined to meet the needs of a natio 1 at war for teachers. The four-year course was accelerated to three years by using sum ner terms ; extra-curricular activities were re- duced; and many faculty changes occurred. Yet through it all, scholarship was main- tained, and the class of 1944 graduates well prepared for teaching.

Page Twelve Accelerated Class, September 1943 The accelerated class of 1943 includes those students who finished eight college terms in three years. Practically all their classmates entered military service. The men in this class were accepted for officers training in the Marines and deferred until graduation. Our kind thoughts and best wishes are with them all. LEO PEARL STEPHEN J. HORASCO R. DUDLEY MEIERS JAMES F. HERDIC, JR. ANTHONY E. ANDRIATE MARY JEAN KING LOUIS S. FREZZA, JR. GRACE V. WAKE Page Thirteen Class Prophecy On the twentieth day of May, 1969, there was a triumphal march to the little Ver- mont hermitage of Bert Mellen. The marchers were the graduating classmates of 1944 and the occasion was the graduation of Bert from Panzer College with her B. S. degree. Who are the gala participants in this triumphal march? Why, they, of course, are all successful figures in their respective worlds. We will begin with the familiar first name of the roll call, Allen. Did you know that Dotty has spent the greater part of her time since graduation studying primitive dances? Just this morning she returned from hobnobbing with snake priests in an effort to discover why it is that they are not bitten during their rit- uals. Helen Moore is going to accompany her on her next trip, hoping to acquire new ideas for the Parisian gym suits she is designing for Tony Tort ' s reducing class. It is really not fair to call his harem his reducing class, is it? Having developed a fixed idea as to his preferred type of beauty during his senior year at Panzer, Tony has hired Shirley Hoyt to keep them trim. Shirley ' s activities are not limited to this, but include demonstrating advanced gymnastics to students of the Horace Mann School. We know that Charlotte is now basking in public acclaim for her latest book, My Small Life and Large Experiences . Part credit of course goes to Jean Frazier, illustra- tor. Is it true, Jean that you got your first start way back in 1944 as Vargo ' s assistant in drawing pin-up boys for the women ' s armed forces? Charlotte had other help, too. Her publicity woman was the ever capable and enthusiastic Marge Levy, and her publisher was Althea Jones. Jonesy writes a bit on her own but she does not write novels. The work which she is now doing deals with theraputic manipulations. But wait! Who is this ' familiar person walking toward us ? Why, of course, it is none other than Jane Joyce, We hear that Jane is the famous basketball coach of an undefeated team. Stars of the team are_ three of Helen Coyle ' s Hooper Doopers, who are also ardent baseball heroes. Peg Kerrigan, according to Helen, is enjoying a sedentary life on her famous flea farm. Ruthie Shleifstein is with us in part, television. She at this moment is delivering her first guidance talk dealing with the problems that will arise for our over-indulged youth. Her qualifications are right beside her, three fine up-and-coming young Bergers. The third absentee is inflicting upon us only a momentary absence. Florence Ciccone just rushed out to telephone her grandchildren, the quiz kids who are taking the accelerated program Pan- zer College still offers, the whereabouts of the Swedish chart that she copied from Grace Wake who copied from Joe Brownlee who copied from Lish Philipps. The Panzer lounge is thriving annually, and now occupies the entire second floor. Jeanne Neubauer is in charge of entertainment to amuse the girls during their leisure .time. Jeanne sings while Muriel Fecher dances her own creations, accompanied by Helen Bren- nan ' who has recently been elected Marine Mascot. Also in the entertainment limelight is Effie Riggio. She is in great demand as master of ceremonies at all important functions, and incidentally, we hear her heart still belongs to La Esposito. And this, my indulged, concludes the knowledge in ' 69 of the class of ' 44. Are we not a successful group? Page Fourteen BERT MELLEN, Class Prophet. li .;. ' ' :. . ' • ' i ■ ' !. .-. : i !

' ■■ -.■ ' Class History In 1941 the present classes at Panzer became involved in the accelerated program and since that time have encountered many worth-while experiences and problems. Many of our classmates stayed behind while we took the accelerated program with the class of 1940. Part of that class graduated in August, 1943, and the other members joined us in September, making a somewhat composite senior class. The war took many of our men out of school and by the time we reached our senior year all had entered various branches of the service. We continued as practically a women ' s college. In spite of the many changes that had taken place we were all together in September 1941 when, as bewildered freshmen, we entered Panzer College. As freshmen, our main event was the Fall Sport Dance and between times teas, theater parties, and other college affairs took care of our social life. During the summer we bid adieu to school for a month and were off to National Red Cross Aquatic School at Narrowsburg, New York, and in July returned and were ready for our first experience with the accelerated program. The following year as sophomores we played host to the freshmen through the fam- ous Initiation Court Night. The highlights of the year were the Hallowe ' en Dance and our Community Service work which was the real beginning of our teaching experiences. In May, while others went to Aquatic School, a few Panzer students dared the wilds of Sus- sex, New Jersey, and took a course in professional camping at National Life Camps, Inc. Our junior year carried us well into the summer and left no time for such an affair as a Junior Prom. But we were not to be defeated, for the class of 1940 gave us our last formal Junior Prom at the Greenbrook Country Club. At this time Anthony Tortoreti was president of the class and awaiting induction into national service. In September 1943 our class elected Ruth Shleif stein, president; Helen Moore, vice- president; Althea Jones, secretary-treasurer. In March our first real thrill came when we went out student teaching and this experience represented the application of all our education. Our thoughts and recollections at graduation time center around Class Dinner, Com- mencement Exercises, and those classmates who might have been with us but who are doing their duty in the service of our country; and. finally, our own professional future. Page Fifteen Class Will We, the class of 1944, being of sound mind and body and anticipating our departure from this noble institution, do heieby publish and declare this, our last will and testament. FIRST: To our highly esteemed and deserving faculty we leave a well earned vaca- tion to be spent at Saratoga Springs so that their recovery from our devastations may be hastened. SECOND: To all confused, puzzled and muddled underclassmen of accelerated classification we leave autographed copies of our newest publication entitled How to Get Through College in Three Years . It contains in accurate detail all knowledge, skills, habits, and attitudes acquired during the years spent at Panzer by the process of trial and error; and suggestions on how to conduct one ' s self in summer session, when thoughts are focused on camp. We hope that they may profit greatly from this anecdotal record of our experiences. We also make the following bequests, with our sincerest hopes that they will be ac- cepted in the spirit with which they are given. To Miss Burnham, we leave a promise that all knowledge acquired in her classes be remembered as well as we remember ululare. To Professor Gorton, we leave a compassionate soul for his unfortunate class which had nothing to do with the disappearance of a roll book. To Miss Wardell, we leave a sturdy pair of non-skid shoes so as to preserve her life in order that future Panzer students may benefit from her bibliographies. To Miss Whitehurst, we leave a book of social techniques to ease her work in break- ing in future Panzer freshmen. To Mr. Drumm, we leave our well-worn crib notes to supplement his next year ' s out- line. To Miss Brooks, we leave a complete collection of our excellent unit plans so that she may have samples to show her new classes just how it is done. To Mrs. Lynn, we leave a recording of her numerical repertoire, 1-2-3-4, 2-2-3-4, 3-2- 3-4, to protect her from a severe case of laryngitis. To Mrs. Brainen, we leave her memories of our melodious voices; we think that this is quite enough. To Miss Smith, we leave a carton of Johnson ' s Baby Powder to replace that which she has so generously allowed us to borrow. To Miss Girardot, we leave a dual personality, each independent of the other, so that Miss Brown ' s and Mr. Gorton ' s classes simultaneously may benefit by her accompaniment. To Miss Tanner and Mrs. Eaton we leave a chess board to amuse themselves during their spare time. To original owners we return all borrowed wearing apparel and implements of war. To those who indulge in frequent absences we leave all our original fictitious alibis knowing that they will be put to excellent use. To Miss Brown, we leave a promise that we will carry on the tradition of Panzer Col- lege, and that to the best of our ability we will fulfill all the duties of our chosen profession. The foregoing is the legal will and testament of the Class of 1944. In witness where- of, we hereby subscribe our name and seal on this twentieth day of May, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Four. Page Sixteen DOROTHY ALLEN, Executrix. (rFiCi irHirBJiHiraiianaJraJ i aJiBJiaiiaJtBiRHanaEJiBiiaJEJiataEiraraitaJr Jp LiraJreJf JRJr raJr JfJrBr r Sports Activities The program in sports and fine arts at the college in the year 1944 was adjusted to the changes in college life resulting from the war. Men ' s sports were limited to basketball, and baseball. All women ' s activities were continued and a gymnastic team was added. Var- sity competition for women included fencing and basketball in addition to many play days in other sports. To start off the fencing season, the team won its first matches with Newark and Jersey City State Teachers ' Colleges. Future bouts on the schedule are planned with Brooklyn Col- lege, New York University, St. Elizabeth ' s College, Hunter College, and a return match with Newark State Teacher ' s College. The women ' s basketball team was equally successful. Two of the teams which sur- vived the onslaught made by Panzer were East Stroudsburg and Hunter College. Those which were defeated included the Alumnae, Rider College, Queens College, Caldwell Col- lege, and New York University. The programs in the fine arts were also seriously affected by the war. For the first time there were no male voices in the Glee Club. Nevertheless, the Club carried on by singing selections especially arranged for feminine voices. The men were also badly missed in the Folk Dance Group. However, resourceful planning overcame this difficulty, and the Group undertook a study of Hawaiian dances which were particularly suited to women dancers. Many recitals and demonstrations were given at various schools, women ' s clubs, service clubs, teacher ' s associations, and at all the teas and social gatherings of the College. The group repertoire for 1944 consists of Hawaiian, Eng- lish, Latin American, Slavonic dances, and the Sailor ' s Hornpipe. Starting the year with a dark outlook, Prof Gorton ' s boys played an informal soccer schedule. With only fourteen men enrolled at college and their hopes of athletics height- ened by scrimmaging high schools, the men of Panzer thoroughly enjoyed this recreation. Breaking into the winter season with a gloomy outlook for basketball, the Gorton charges started workouts in preparation for the coming season. The team was formed and opened its season by losing to Newark University. Bouncing back from its first defeat, the team defeated Montclair State Teachers College; Upsala College, St. Basil ' s Seminary, Newark College of Engineering, Newark University, and Bloomfield Seminary. It dropped contests with Montclair State Teacher ' s College in the most thrilling game of the season by the score of 55-54, and also lost to Newark College of Engineering. The team closed the season with a total of three losses and ten victories. With Spring approaching and the baseball season just around the corner, the Pan- zer men will continue in their best form to uphold the college traditions by winning as many baseball games as they possibly can. To men with stout hearts and a willing coach, such as Panzer possesses, go the laurels of having men ' s sports survive even in war time.
