At this time there were about thirty pupils in attendance. About eighteen hundred and fifty-five the old building was found to be too small. After long and heated discussions, the citizens of Park Ridge finally decided to build a new one. The new school altho somewhat larger was still composed of only one room. Shortly after this another room was added and the faculty doubled in numbers: there were now two teachers. The school re- mained the same until eighteen hundred and nine- ty, when it was once more enlarged at a cost of some four thousand dollars. This was only after a hard struggle between the farmers and the city people or commuters who had moved to Park Ridge from New York. The number of students, however, continued to increase and in nineteen hundred and seven it be- Tfze Hoof 7 came obvious that the old building could no longer be used. Accordingly the people of Park Ridge voted forty thousand dollars for a new building to be built at the corner of Main Street and Park Avenue. The land on which the school was to be built was bequeathed to the town by the late Mayor James Leach and was admirably suited to the purpose. The cornerstone of the new building was laid in May, nineteen hundred and eight. The following September the school was completed and the students entered a building which was palatial when compared to the one which they had been occupying. The high school was started in nineteen hundred and six. The first year there were but ten students in attendance, but the school grew rapidly and in four years we had a school giving a full four year course approved by the state. Neighboring towns sent their students to the high school, thus swelling the number considerably. In nineteen hundred and twelve manual train- ing was added to the curriculum and, a yearilater, printing and domestic science. The school build- ing could not accommodate these new branches and therefore a building on Park Avenue was leased. Here the girls in the domestic science de- cY Tie Hoof partment prepared delicious lunches which they sold to the students at a minimum charge. On the upper floor of this new building were spacious apartments which were, and still are, occupied by a large part of the non-resident faculty. The commercial classes were also held in this building. Since it was but two minutes' walk from the main building the students could travel back and forth with but small loss of time. From this time on Park Ridge High School progressed steadily until nineteen hundred and twenty. Her academic standing became higher each year. Her graduates entered the best col- leges and universities in the United States. Many of these higher institutions admitted graduates of Park Ridge Without examination, thus showing that our high standards were becoming universally known. ln athletics also our fame spread through- out the northern part of New Jersey and the southern part of New York. At various times we were Northern Newjersey Champions in foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. DeWitt, star track man at Rutger's was a student of Park Ridge High School. Park Ridge teams came to be feared by small high schools, while the larger ones viewed us with respect and admiration, and knew that Tfze Hoof 9 1 l they were in for a tussle when they played against our men. . Thus things ran smoothly on and everybody looked forward to an even more successful future for the high school on the height. And then -disaster! How many of us will ever forget that Monday morning in June, nineteen hundred and twenty? VVho will ever fail to remember the sight which struck our eyes as we approached our alma mater? There in the place of our beautiful building lay a smoldering ruin. Destroyed by fire, nothing saved, a heap of scorched bricks and twisted iron! l7Ve stood dazed and sorrowful without knowing what to do or where to turn. Later in the morning we were assembled in the Volunteer Fire Hall. Mr. Schmerber addressed us. He said that he realized the terrific shock it was to all of us and that it was just as much of a shock to him. But, he continued, we must not shirk our duty, we must finish the school year no 'fyf F A' I0 The H001 matter what obstacles are in the way. The prime idea in his talk was that we should carry on. And we did. Never has such a record been equal- led in any school. Examinations were to have started on Monday morning, they began that afternoon. We held examinations in all the pub- lic buildings in the town. With wonderful co- operation between the faculty and student body the examinations were run off smoothly and the records compiled. The student body organized to raise money during the summer for equipment for the new school. The people of the town met and with tremendous enthusiasm voted almost three hundred thousand dollars for a new school, work upon which was to begin at once. However, this did not settle the problem of where We were to attend high school for the year, while the new school was in the course of Construc- tion. Then came forward one of the town's most generous citizens, Mrs. Leach, with an offer of her house for the use of the high school. We gladly accepted her unusual offer and when the term opened in September we found ourselves installed in the spacious rooms of the Leach mansion. For those who come to school every morning by train the distance to walk was almost doubled. Many of the Park Ridge students were forced to bring their lunches because the school was too far from their homes. But, in spite of all drawbacks, attendance has been just as regular as in former years and the general standing of the students has been just as high. Both the student body and the faculty have exhibited a wonderful spirit of co- operation under difficulties and the attitude of them both is to be commended to the highest de- gree. Park Ridge has a right to feel proud of its school in every way, nor will those students from other towns soon forget the efficient manner in which Park Ridge looked after their interests throughout the year. ' The new school is now in the process of erection and will probably be finished in time for school to be held in it a few months of next year. VVhen finished it will be one of the best high schools in New Jersey both in regard to the building itself and the equipment which will be installed. It will have a large auditorium, spacious classrooms, well equipped laboratories, and a wonderful gym- nasium. ln fact, the new school will be a building of which any town may be justly proud. ln conclusion, it would seem that all thru the history of Park Ridge High School it has been essentially the spirit of the people connected with it, which has made it progress. The faculty, stu- dents, people of the town all have worked to for- ward the cause of education in Park Ridge, and we feel sure that their past successes will be sur- passed only by those of the future. .Q ..

Class Secretary GEORGE FREDERICK ' , '19, '20 9 18 '19 20 '21 '20 Tie H005 23 Class Prophecy ' 326, Y life up to my 35th birthday had been ybfade happy and prosperous tho uneventful fx -F . 'i u. 2' A Y I T uw if fr 'Q u I was wont to live in the present, and ig rl - .Ja -ww, as Ofl Co AL, in the future, rather than dwell thoughts of the past, or seek half forgotten faces of long ago. On my 35th birthday, however, there occurred a circumstance which brought the past vividly before me. My uncle Cwho was a con- Hrmed globe trotterj, was pleased to give me a rather peculiar gift, which he said had belonged to a rajah of India, to the father of the rajah, to his father's father-in fact, had been in the family as far back as men could remember. The tales of bloodshed and horror, the deeds committed to keep the treasure in the family would fill volumes. My fascinating gift was no other than a large crystal globe, of wonderful clearness, supported on the backs of three ivory elephants perfect in every detail. P At once I felt the mystery, the sug- gestion of oriental splendors and romances, and the call of the story of the crystal. I was settled before a roaring fire, alone, medi- tating, with the globe before me. As I studied minutely the beauty of the ivory, and the crystal clearness of the sphere, I was startled by seeing the nearest elephant shudder, his sides se emd to quiver. But the next moment I forgot the elephants in my wonder at the globe. From crys- tal clearness, it clouded over, slowly growing opailue, then gray, finally turning impenetranle black. Lol a flicker of flame-a camp fire. Slowly the vision grew clearer. I started-that face was familiar. Then I remembered my high school class. There was James Jacot, standing before a camp Hre, apparently seeking to convert the natives to the Christian faith. Tears filled my eyes when I thought how I had misjudged my old school fellow. But wait! There is confusion, a Herce tribe of pigmies appear. Then the globe mercifully clouded over again, in time to prevent my seeing the horrible customs of the head hunting tribes of Central Africa. A far gayer scene next appeared before my be- wildered eyes-a line of beautiful chorus girls from the Midnight Review. -Ah! just as I had predicted back in the dear old Park Ridge High- Ethel Rosemund, her beautiful hair bobbed and marcelled, led the group in the most daring of new steps, to the jazziest of music. Ethel was smiling sweetly at a young man in the front row, whom she termed her best friend. As my eyes follow the retreating line of maidens, I got glimpses of the life behind the scenes. Once more 24 Tfze H001 I saw a familiar face-George Whitefield-the successful producer of the 'LReview. At first it was hard to recognize my classmate. He had grown noticeably stouter, but was clothed in the height of fashion, wearing several immense dia- monds set in platinum rings. Fortune seemed to have treated him well. He had not yet outgrown his school boy habits, however, for I noticed that he was matching 21520 gold pieces with a pretty brunette, who had bobbed hair, and a good natured Irish mouth. I Here the scene changed-a milky white o'er spread the globe. From out the mist the intel- lectual face of Dora Beck appeared to me. She was seated at an organg it was early evening. A few beams of golden sunlight from a stained glass window lighted up her face. She was apparently an organist of a great cathedral. The large con- gregation sat spellbound, entranced at the melodi- ous music that she drew from the keys. I leaned forward anxiously, to learn more of my friend- alas, in a last glory of the setting sun, the crowded church, the organ and the organist, faded from my sight, giving place, immediately, to a little scene of so called domestic bliss. My well known friend, Margaret Nelson, was in the act of throwing her husband out of the house for daring to speak back to her. Tensely I watched the en- suing confusion. 'Hubby disappeared, closely fol- lowed by a plate, a frying pan, and a salt cellar. After an interval of what was probably one sec- ond by my watch, but which appeared to be several hours, Margaret's husband returned-penitent. My friend's ever warm heart was softened. The picture that was left with me, was that of a couple sitting at eventide on a vine covered porch-peace and happiness supreme once more. By this time, the edge of my surprise had worn off. The elephants, now, seemed totally awake, their sides rising and falling in regular motion. I looked again at the globe. A scene of Oriental splendor met my eyes-the palace of the ruler in the land of cherry blossoms, and, could I believe my eyes? Frances Engle, now Empress of China: she seemed more quiet, subdued, and sober than the girl I had known in high school, but she bright- ened when her husband entered the room. Rising, with the grace that had made her famous in aesthe- tic dancing under Miss Hartt, she bowed three times to the Hoor. His highness kissed her handy Frances evidently retained her old dislike of being caressed, for she stiffened, but did not dare to show her displeasure. , The next scene that appeared in the ever chang- ing globe was one of sadness. A great court, a lovely woman on trial, and an able lawyer defend- ing her. I recognized in the woman Joyce Baker, whom I had known in school. Her face was pale ' The H001 25 and tear stained. I gathered, in an instinctive way, that her husband, a hir. Tony Battlebeano had died of poisoning, in the first week of their mar- ried life. It seems that Joyce had endeavored to make some of that green icing for which her mother had beenfamousin our school day's, and had gotten the paris green in place of the coloring matter, by mistake. It was a truly pitiful scene. From the white face of the accused, I turned to the lawyer so ably defending her cause. I was startled 'to recognize Eugene Hagan. The stir- ring words of his defense brought tears to the eyes of the listeners. Even the Judge was visibly affected. The jurors' verdict was, not guiltyf' As the scene began to change I saw that my one time friend had begun to vamp the Judge, who was young and really handsome. I next recognized in the person of a successful banker, Kenneth Dickson, our class president. He had hurried from his estate in San Francisco to his home in New York, worried by the news that his daughter had been twice seen in the company of a middle aged man of unknown station. On the very night of Mr. Dickson's homecoming, the man presented' himself. After several puzzled glances, the Banker recognized his old classmate Douglas Cooper. It seemed that Douglas, after several years of newspaper reporting, had found it too strenuous, and had taken to writing free verse. His imagination, so highly cultivated in Latin class, and his great mathematical ability, now stood him in good stead. I also gathered, in the course of their conversation, that this was the very Cooper whose name is so frequently coupled with that of Amy Lowell, the best known of all in the realm of free verse. At last there presented itself a truly happy home. A happy family, gathered around a roar- ing fire, glad to rest, after a strenuous day of country sports. By the flickering light of the fire, I at last recognized Donald Albertson, one of the big four of the Class of '21, as the head of the family. Donald, having won his fortune and his wife by giving his valuable advice whenever it was needed, now owned a mansion in New York, as well as several country estates, best loved of which was his place on Long Island Sound. Here the globe began to qgiver, internal tur- moil shook it, and the peaceful scene faded. When the crystal was again clear I saw Arthur Burling- ton, an engineer, directing the building of the first bridge across the Amazon River. He had evi- dently had troubles of his own, and his ability to argue was as well pronounced as ever. As he con- fided to one of his friends, he had married a French girl by theiname of O'Reilly, and she'had divorced him because he favored home rule. 26 Tfze H001 The next scene took me to Egypt, where Louise Ellin made her living by weird, sinuous dancing, and snake charming. Louise had refused three princes, and an emperor, and was still going strong. I watched eagerly to see how her story ended-she was at last happily married to the caretaker of the biggest Pyramid, and in place of a cat, they keepa few cobras as pets. The scene changed rapidly. I next saw Carl Gronquist, teaching a class in history at Harvard. He had already written his 4th history, and was now working on statistics for a history of the Es- quimo tribes of North America. I was amazed at the popularity of his works. Richard Kuehn, I now saw, was a movie actor. His popularity was greater than that of Douglas Fairbanks, VVm. S. Hart, Charlie Chaplin, and VVallace Reid, all put together, had ever been. His smile had won him fame. I seemed to hear several girls talking-one had proposed twice, only to be rejected by Dick, while the others were contemplating proposing, firmly intending, if fail- ure met their efforts, to die like the unhappy Dido of old. Can that be Robert Stever, the baseball star, basketball prodigy, and football wonder? This is no athlete! He is a man of medium height, very slender, hair parted in the middle, with a mous- tache about the size of a babyls eyebrow, his eyes are exquisitely blue, with an innocent air. He wears a delicate wrist watch. But wait-there's an explanation. He is the greatest detective in America today, now employed by Miss Marie Schriever to recover her pet monkey, who had been seduced or stolen by some unprincipled per- son. Miss Schriever does not recognize her old friends any more-she is now one of the four hundred -having inherited a million dollar mouse trap factory, at the death of her mother's brother. I next see James Heale-and in a minute is portrayed to me thirty years of his life-thirty years spent in courting the lady of his heart. Little did he understand her spirit-he wooed her by what he designated 'fcave man stuff or then treat 'em rough method. After nearly a life time of vain effort, he hit upon the plan of melting her stubborn spirit with melodious music from his renowned fiddle. It worked like a charm. Never again will this modern Orpheus doubt that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. Now I saw a change was about to take place. From milky white to Royal Purple, then to navy blue, and stripes of white and red-so the crystal changed. Ah! the President of the United States: Ralph Chapman, elected by the greatest popular T The Hoot vote ever known in the United States. I see a busy day at the VVhite House. After a morning of tedious work, our popular President gets into his basketball suit, and shoots a few baskets as he used to when he played on dear old Park Ridge's Basketball Team. The scene changes, and I see Viola Hoffman- I understand, after a moment that she is Secretary of the Treasury. Ralph, knowing how able she is at raising money where money is not, has ap- pointed her to this position of honor. Her latest way of raising money is the issuing of 24 million dollars worth of bonds, to be sold at 24c apiece to every school child in America. I catch a glimpse of myself, next, old and gray, celebrating the event of my first successful angel cake, baked with 42 eggs. Now with a sigh the elephants seem to shrink. Their eyes no longer blaze. Gradually my globe becomes crystal clear again. Again it is nothing but a pretty toy. But it left me with the desire to be again in the Senior Class of Park Ridge High School, with my former classmates, and turned my mind from the uncertain future to the past, so full of memories. 20' The Hoof Class History , Class of twenty-one, that four long years has i spent- Four years as full of joy and happiness As to our hearts four years have ever lent- ln Park Ridge Halls, the house of learnedness. 0 Class, it is of you I tell, and of your deeds. I. HEN Autumn's glory filled the land In Nineteen Seventeen, a band Of Freshmen entered Park Ridge High, To fight that her fame might never die. ln number six and forty--a small classg proud- They organized and chose a leaderg An Albertson, this year, dear reader, Did lead them well and spread their fame. They helped to honor the High School's name, In basket-ball and on the field,- They took its friendship for their shield. Then when the spring had touched the earth, They gave a banquet, where the mirth Of all the year o'er flowed in fun- The night was done ere half begun. Then Freshmen and Seniors to desks returned That June might show their lessons learned. A t II. When the next autumn saw the class returned To seek joy elsewhere ten had turnedg But those that stayed were proudwof rank And as Sophomores ne'er in oblivion sank, For Heale was their leader through the year. Hazing, they caused the Freshmen fear. Then to athletics they turned their minds, Playing on teams and forgetting the grind. Late autumn found the plot afoot To give a dance and masque, to boot, Where each did come in strange disguise To fill his classmates with surprise. But this was not the only thing, That made their name in Park Ridge ring, A dance was giyen to the Seniors That they might know the proper honors. Vfhen in the spring Park Ridge's name VVas challenged for debate, it then became A Sophomore to speak for his class and school On the team of debaters, wise and cool. 4 So the Sophomores spent the year And left in June with conscience clear. III. When fall did herald in the class, But six and twenty through the portals passed. Though lacking numbers the Juniors were eager To prove, though many a class was bigger 'The Hoof 29 They would work and win, with Dickson as leader. In Autumn, then, it chanced aring was ta'en. A ring forever to stand for fame. Each placed the golden circlet on Ne'er to be moved till years have flown. As March with wild and blustr'y wind Ushered St. Patrick's day again, The Juniors secretly plotted and planned For dances, refreshments, and even a band, To honor the Seniors with a dance, A moon was provided to add some romance. The Seniors were pleased, and the Juniors were proud, The dance a success, was by all allowed. Then e'er the year in gladness was classed Oler all the land the news was passed: Before the beam of morning light Was twinkling over hilltops bright, The dreaded fire gained a hold And through the corridors, with bold, Relentless strides, the fire went: The school was gone, e'er morn had lent Its rosy glamour, cheery bent. IV. , Twenty-one Seniors was the class Highest of all the classes at last. Instead of to classrooms and halls beloved, They climbed' to a house, the town, above, Where in a classroom cool and bright, They strove to study with all their might. Then in November, e'er the snow did fall The Seniors challenged the classes all, ' To a game of football-conditions were there, But the Seniors won--fought well and fair. Soon bells proclaimed a Christmas tide- To knock some one each Senior tried, Then luncheon was served and spirits restored: Best wishes for Christmas on every one poured. On the 'leventh of February, cold and drear, The Juniors filled their hearts with cheer- They gave a dance-a wondrous Prom Decorations in red and white were done' To honor St. Valentine's memory. O famed class, still must your story live Mid future halls, on strangers' tongues must thrive. Still must your history to all classes give An impetus to worthy deeds, and will to strive. 30 The Hoof Last Will and Testament gfifze V Class of IQZI appointed hour has now arrived when it is our sad but necessary duty to make known unto you the terms and Aszgoh x provisions of that sacred and solemn 7 ceased document the last will and testament of the de- We, the members of the royal and sovereign Senior Class of 1921 of the Park Ridge High School, of the Borough of Park Ridge, of the County of Bergen, of the State of New Jersey, and of the United States of America, being all of the same, sound, and intelligent mind, memory, and understanding, but aware of the uncertainty of life and mindful of the great sorrow and be- reavement to be caused by our most gracious selves upon our departure from these beloved and hallowed halls of fame and learning, do wish to make some bequests to those underclassmen, our humble admirers, momentoes to comfort them in the gloomy and sorrowful times which will follow our demise. Our last and most urgent wish it is, that this most honorable and estimable class be always spoken of in tones of awe and respectg and that we be laid to rest in some quiet and peaceful spot in the vicinity of our cherished school, again, that we may be buried here in the most inexpensive, yet solemn manner that can be devised. The Girls of the Class of 1921 do hereby de- vise, beoueath, and hand down to the girls of the lower classes the following sundry articles and privileges, to wit: i First: That pleasing grace and beauty for which they have for four years been renowned in county, state, and nation. Second: That obliging and uplifting habit of giving their free and candid opinion as regards all weighty matters in general. Third: That highly unique custom of allowing no Senior girl to enter the portals of the Senior Class Room with her hair bobbed Uoyce ex- ceptedl or her dainty face besmirched by any arti- ficial aid to beauty with which Dame Nature was not inclined to endow her. Fourth: That privilege of employing the pic- tures in the Senior Room as mirrorsjust as hats are being given their final pull and the various coilfures their Hnal pat. The Hoof 31 Fifth: Joyce Baker leaves not only to the girls of the lower classes but also to the boys of the above named classes her Irish and her notoriously llaunted love of the green. Sixth: Louise Ellin leaves to any girl of the lower classes who can lay claim to it, the privilege of being the most boisterous and noisy girl in the school. C Seventh: Arline hlarsh leaves to Ruth Baillie her faithful, but almost worn out, powder puff, with strict instructions never to let it suffer from lack of use, and to have it ready always in time of need. Eighth: Frances Engle leaves to Helen Odell, who is famous in our institution of learning as the shrinking violet, some of her unseemly manners and a dash of coquetry with which to enliven little Helen somewhat. Ninth: Dora Beck leaves, with much relief, to Elizabeth Tibbs her position and her ability as a forward on the world-famed Girls' Basketball Team, a team which holds the unique distinction of losing almost every game played. Tenth: - Marie Schriever leaves to the lower classes her standard text book on mathematics, The Complexities of Plain Geometry. The Boys of the Class of 1921 do hereby be- queath, bestow, and give to the boys of the lower classes various articles, privileges, etc., to wit: First: The boys of the Senior Class leave to the boys of the Junior Class their envied power and influence over the feminine members of the class, trusting that the Junior boys will dominate the suffragist spirit of their class as well as have the boys of the Class of 1921, and will continue to do until the parting of the ways-let's hope. Second: To Arno Pause, Eugene Hagan leaves his habit ofhaving all of his lessons pains- takingly prepared, especially the written ones in French, before classes. Cap knows the power of example, and so he has labored hard all year that he might leave a valuable legacy to Arno. Third: Kenneth Dickson, Donald Albertson, and Ralph Chapman leave to George Albertson the right and privilege of parting his hair in the middle, thereby enhancing C ?j his beauty in order to make a greater hit with the girls, in a word, to follow faithfully in the steps of his illustrious brother, Doc Fourth: To Bill Mullan, Whitey leaves his position as court jester of the Senior Class. Bill may be funny, but it's only because he can't help it, while Whitey has brought his great and 32 The H001 powerful mind to bear on the subject in such a manner that he putsrout one hundred and one witty sayings a day. However, on account of the high cost of production the 'gdear Boy gave notice only last week that he would have to decrease his daily output to ninety-one, and the publishers of joke books are going bankrupt all over the coun- try. Fifth: Douglas Cooper leaves to the future students of Biology his aptitude for the study of that science, along with his remarkable ability in coining scientific terms upon the spur of the moment to the consternation of his disparing teacher and the amusement of his hearers. The Class of 1921 bequeaths, bestows, and hands down to the lower classes certain sundry and various articles, privileges, and rights, to wit: First: To the Class of 1922 we, the Senior Class of 1921, leave twenty-one pairs of worn-out shoes, shoes that have faithfully carried us up and down on the rocky road to learning, i. e., the road leading to the school. Second: The Class of 1921 bequeaths to Miss Hartt the privilege of sweetly consoling those of the lower classmen that fail to show their natural QU physical grace to advantage. Third: The Class of 1921 leaves to the boys of the lower classes a large bottle of glue. The boys of the Senior Class have found this very effective in preserving their hair combs and it is hoped that the boys of the lower classes may take advantage of our experience, for alas, it is some- times sadly necessary, particularly for certain members of the Junior Class. Fourth: To the Class of 1922 the Senior Class bequeaths its cherished mantelpiece. It is explicitly required, however, that it should not be required to hold more than fifteen Literary Digest, ten notebooks, twelve text books of differ- ent sizes, shapes, and dimensions, two boxes of chalk, and an equivalent of twenty sticks of gum at one time, as it is desired that this mantel be in such a condition as to be transferable to the Senior Classes which are to come. Fifth: To the lower classmen, and to all future students of the Park Ridge High School, the Class of 1921 gives the advice of refraining from publishing a yearbook, if the said underclass- men value their health-in evidence witness the pale, anemic looking members of the present Senior Class who are bent over almost double, and whose brows are creased with wrinkles fully an inch deep from worry and over work because of Tfze Hoof 33 the labor and expense of publishing this issue of the I-Iootf, Sixth: To all, we, the sovereign Senior Class of 1921, do utter these few solemn words of in- struction and advice. Strive to develop the highest characters of manhood and womanhood, as shown by the members of our own dear class, stray not from the straight and narrow path, and eat not of the forbidden fruit which flourishes at all sea- sons in the vicinity of our venerable institution of learning and the higher arts. If you obey these few rules, minions, you will some day approach somewhat the virtues and the noble characteristics of the Class of 1921. Lastly: As sole executor of this, our last will and testament, we, the Class of 1921, do hereby appoint james Tatem, Esq., a person who, because of his gigantic stature, his superb physique, and his powerful mental capacities, is fully capa- ble, in our opinion, of seeing the provisions of this solemn document carried out to be the minutest detail. This document was signed and sealed on this 23rd day of June, in the year of our Lord, nine- teen hundred and twenty-one, and duly witnessed. in the presence of the said witnesses and testator.

Fortunately, the weather man favored north- ern New Jersey with clear weather. At seven o'clock promptly groups of students collected at the stations of the various towns in the vicinity of Park Ridge, waiting more or less impatiently for the arrival of the bus hired for the occasion. The students, however, were forced to wait more than half an hour after the time scheduled for the start for Leonia. and therefore, after much cheer- ing, singing, and merry making, it was well toward nine o'clock before the auto had deposited its loal before the Leonia High School building. The crowds were soon assem' led in the audito- rium of the high school, and no sooner had the Tfze Hoot 4X orchestra ceased playing than the Leonia cheer leader was on the stage, leading some rousing, lively yells. Park Ridge, however, as may be readily imagined, was not backward in showing its spirit, so when Tatem, in a red and white skull cap and a pair of imitation tortoise shell rimmed spectacles, jumped onto the stage, the students and faculty were ready for business. The cheering and singing of both schools, all evening, was ex- emplary, although we Park Ridgeites will always contend that we had a little the better of it. When the Rev. William Hannum arose to an- nounce the condiiions under which the debate was to be given, and to read the instructions of the judges, the whole auditorium became silent, a sil- ence which was only intensified as Donald Albert- son, the first speaker on the affirmative, stepped to the center of the stage. The question debated was Resolved, that the United States should enact a rigid Japanese ex- clusion law, constitionality conceded. The argu- ments advanced by the team, Donald Albertson, Robert Stever, Ralph Chapman, and Kenneth Dickson were exceptionally strong ones. At the end of the presentation speeches the chances of victory seemed to be pretty evenly divided between the two teams, but in the rebuttal Chapman was able to smash the arguments advanced by the nega- tive, in spite of the fact that the captain of the Leonia team was also a very good speaker. In fact the debate was extremely interesting in that it was not at all one sided, and so the excitement was very great when the chairman opened the ballots, to say that there was no decision! The reason for this curious result of the debate was that one of the judges must have neglected to listen to his in- structions, so that out of the three votes cast, one was for the negative, one for the affirmative, and the other was for a tie. On learning this, there was an attempt made to have a revote taken, but as Leonia objected, the matter was allowed to rest, and to be taken up later at New Brunswick. On the Way home in the 'fbus there was natu- rally a feeling of discontent at the decision, but by- means of hearty songs and cheers, sung over and over, good spirits were restored and the students parted, feeling that they had heard a really fine debate, and that it would probably all turn out right in the end. After much parley it was finally decided that the only fair way to rejudge the debate was to have it given again. According to this agreement, 42 The Hoof the two teams met on the afternoon of the twenty- first of March at Forester's Hall where a large crowd had gathered to hear the speeches. At the conclusoin of the contest, which was in many respects superior to that at Leonia, Mr. Schmerber announced that Park Ridge had won by a vote of two to one. Everything was over, but the cheering! The final debate of this group was held in Park Ridge on Monday evening, April 25. Has- brouck Heights High School defended the aflirma- tive, Park Ridge the negative. The decision was unanimous in favor of Park Ridge. ..,-.,Qii.,.f v v ---v .M - 1- ' The H001 43 The Prom. HE Junior-Senior,Reception which took place at Forester s Hall on the evening of Pebruary eleventh, was an affair of Azstgabh the greatest success from beginning to endg a success in that each and every one enjoyed himself to his utmost and because of the fact that the reception will stand out among the important events of our school life. And now to consider the individual items which went to make the affair a success. 1 The decora- tions of redg and white streamers not only pro- duced a most charming and desired effect, but also served their purpose in doing away entirely with the despised high ceiling. Added to this was the cozy effect achieved by draping the lights with red strands. This arrangement of decorations was an idea due wholly to the initiative of the illus- trious Seniors. One perceived, moreover, that around the walls there were suspended numerous red hearts, and that the stage was hidden by screens, an American Hag, and palms. The music, the Orpheum Trio, was especially fine, and the Hoor was Hall slippery and wonder- ful. Now, what more could anyone possibly wish? But yes, there was something else too. Over in the corner in a very prominent position V was a large moon and great was the joy of all when the lights were turned out and the 'fMoon- light Waltz took place. Also there was the con- fetti dance which proved a great success and after that the Grand March, led by Owen Clarke, presi- dent of the junior Class. For this dance each gentleman was given a red cap and each lady a white hat, and with these still on their heads the couples marched two by two, in a large line, first in and out, and then forming circles in a regular maze of color. And now, I wonder, have we mentioned every- thing? Alas, we have forgotten the dance pro- grams in the shape of a heart which caught the eye and won the approval of all, The refresh- ment were ice cream and crackers, and punch- most desirable to the many parched dancers. But not only for these reasons was it that the affair was so satisfactory, for, thanks to the patronesses, consisting of prominent ladies of the town, the Prom was a shining success, due in part too, to the originality of the entire evening's pro- gram and the hearty co-operation of all con- cerned. May the Junior-Senior Reception as many be- fore it have done, live in our memories, and be one of the bright spots to look back upon-which will recall to our minds many years hence, the en- joyable years spent at Park Ridge High. in-m- , gggg gg li '-wry-w--mqqy X 2 I, 'S f'z? -,..' --H-W ,.f-.-w.gv-fy,-1,,-..,.,....,-,. -v...-A--,. ...Y - v ,A -Vw f Y v-.. -.,,.nV.Y . ,- The Hoof JAMES HEALE KENNETH DICKSON DOUGLAS COOPER RICHARD KUEHN' ARTHUR BURLINGTON HOOt Staff' RALPH CHAPMAN CARL GRONQUIST ETHEL ROSEMUND VIOLA HOFFMAN JOYCE BAKER DORA BECK The H 001 45 To The Underclassmen kg? gt years of more or less successful en ' jiqggo deavor at Park Ridge, is a out to be f 555-554: graduated, and we wish to leave with you, underclassmen,'the one request: Keep alive the Park Ridge Spirit. In every way, the former classes of our Alma Mater have made this Spirit famous, and it is not only a duty but a privilege that you preserve this Spirit. HE Senior Class of '21, after four r J f 7 I Do not ask us what this feeling is or whence it comes. lt is something which each must gain for himself. lt can be instilled only by the experiences and associations of high school life. There are some lucky fellows and girls who seem to be full of school spirit from the time they enter until they are graduated, and even after graduation they remain loyal to their school. On the other hand, there are a few unlucky ones who never grasp the full meaning of this Spirit and it is these, school- mates, whom you must labor over and befriend. Oftentimes, the pupil who seems to have no Spirit is simply brimming over with it but he is naturally shy and reticent. VVe recommend such students to your tender ministrations, underclassmen. May this Spirit shine forth under your care. You may well ask us for a concise definition of school spirit. VVho can give one? It is that which makes a man tackle a much heavier opponent: it is that which makes a light team battle a heavier and more experienced oppvonentg and it is that which makes a beaten team Hght to the death al- though there is but one chance in a thousand of winning the game. That is what school spirit means to the athlete. VVhat about the vast ma- jority who are not athletes? How may they show their spirit? Well, about the best way they can do this is to come out and cheer the teams. The bunch who comes to a football game on a freeiing day in November, the crowd that attends a basket- ball game when they have to come through pouring rain, that's the crowd with School Spirit. All of us can sit in a warm schoolroom and follow a cheer-leader's gyrations with our voices, but School Spirit is something in the heart and not in the head. lt requires sacrifice and he who has never sacrificed anything for his school cannot know true Spirit. F-ww-'v-'Y-vw'-----W -,v..-,.J,,1.f-q- ....- . H V v Y 46 The Hoot So far l have spoken only of athletics, but School Spirit can, and does, enter into the aca- demic side of school life as well. The best ath- lete in the world shows little School Spirit if he allows his marks to fall below par. ln the first place a fellow who allows his marks to go down must have very little self-respect, and in the second place he is no good to his school while his marks are in that condition. The same applies to all of us. lt is our duty to make the record of Park Ridge High School as enviable in academic spheres as in athletics and in order to do this we must study and play fair with our teachers. We know that there are none in the school now who would engage in that contemptible practice known as cribbing but, if any students should enter our school who have not the same high ideals as those of which we boast, we sincerely hope that you will help them to see that they are cheating themselves more than anyone else in the world. ln conclusion then, we leave you, fellow school- mates, the highest standards of fair play in studies and athletics, and we ask that you preserve them untarnished as they have come down to us through the years.

STUMPF 4 on The H 001' Girls' Basketball Due to the newness and inexperience of the players, the girls, team did not prosper well at the beginning of the season. The fine spirit and perseyerance of the team even though they were losing most of the games, made the girls progress slowly but surely as the games won at the end of the season will show. Park Ridge in her first few games, especially the one with Leonia, was quite badly beaten, but when she met Leonia the second time she held them down to one-half the first score. This indi- cated what practice, spirit, and the untiring efforts of the coach, Miss Hartt, was doing for P. R., for each time the girls played a much closer game, until in the next to the last game with Ramsey and in the last game with Ridgefield Park the girls won both games, ending the season vicioriously.

In losing Kretz, Jacobs, and Wood, and having Albertson and Steven out for the greater part of the season, it can be readily seen that the team was under a great handicap.

The Hoof L xi The Heat 51 Football Notes The 1920 Football Season of the Park Ridge High School was a most successful one. Despite the many disadvantages and the material which turned out for practice, the members of the school had the pleasure of seeing this little team fight with a spirit that has never before been known in Park Ridge. 'Behind this achievement stood the faithful Captain O. T. Clarke, working in conjunction with Coach Brooks and blanager Chapman. The fine work of these three men and the work of their team mates, backed up by the support of the en- tire student body, have made it possible to carry through a football season never before excelled in the history of Park Ridge'High School. Park Ridge -vs. Englewood. i The first game of the season was rather dis- couraging. The Englewood players by their weight were able to carry us down the field for a score of 43 points. Park Ridge, however, scored the first 7 points of the game, and was one of the few teams to score first on Englewood. The game taught us a lesson which we carried with us through the succeeding games of the season. The final score was 43 to 7 favor of Englewood. Park Ridge 115. Ridgejield Park. The second game of the season was a game that boosted the spirits of Park Ridge. The game was played against Ridgefield Park in Park Ridge. The entire team pulled together as a body. Ridgefield Park did not have one chance to make a touchdown. The game was fast and well played. This game meant a great deal to us as we had the pleasure of seeing the well coached team of Mr. Ericson put away by another Park Ridge victory. After continual line bucking and end runs, the Park Ridge team scored 33 points, while Ridgefield Park did not score at all. Park Ridge '05, Spring Valley.. This game was slow, neither team being able to make any advances. The condition of the Spring Valley field was such that fast playing was almost impossible. The spirit of the Park Ridge team seemed to be low, and therefore plays were slow. The score was Park Ridge, 6 and Spring Valley, 0. Park Ridge vs. Hasbrouck Heights. Park Ridge,with a feelingof confidence,traveled to Hasbrouck Heights to play the fourth game .. l 54 The Hoof of the season. This proved to be the hardest team that we were ever pitted against. The game proved fatal to' some players. Heale sprained his ankle and Albertson received injuries to his finger. With these two men out, our team was greatly handicapped. Nearly everyone on the team re- ceived injuries of some kind. The game ended in the score of Hasbrouck Heights, 133 Park Ridge, 6. Park Ridge fus. Nyack. The game with Nyack, at Nyack, proved to he a close one. The two teams were evenly matched, but the game was slow and lacked pep. Nyack made the first touchdown but failed to kick the goal. A good deal of hard plunging failed to gain any ground for Park Ridge. Finally Clarke managed to get through for a touchdowng our team kicking the goal, making the score 7 to 6 in favor of Park Ridge. Park Ridge 115. Leonia. We looked upon our next game with a little doubt. This game was to be with Leonia, who had been victorious over Park Ridge for some years. The game opened with a bit of fast play- ing on the part of both teams, but after Park Ridge made the first touchdown the rest was easy. The score for Park Ridge rolled up to 26, while Leonia did not score once. Park Ridge fus. Spring Valley. This was the second game played with Spring Valley. The other game was Spring Valley's Hrst game and we expected a hard game, but it became known that Spring Valley had lost four of her best men. The game was one of the most snappy games of the season. Spring Valley, our bitter rival for years, was outplayed at every turn. The game ended with a score of Park Ridge, 26: Spring Valley, O. Park Ridge 115. Ridgefield Park. In this game, the second with Ridgefield Park, Park Ridge was given a hard battle by a thirteen man team. Park Ridge had no chance against the decisions of the umpire and referee. Stever managed to get away for one touch-down, which was all that Park Ridge could get. Final score, Ridgefield Park, 213 Park Ridge, 7. Park Ridge 115. Hasbrouck Heights. The second game with Hasbrouck Heights was the hardest fought game of the season. lt was with a great deal of trouble that Park Ridge was able to force the ball down the field for a touch- down. ln the last few minutes of the game a The Hear 55 forward was passed to a Hasbrouck Heights player, over the goal line. Being dark, it was hard to see whether he caught it or dropped it, therefore no touchdown was made. Score, Park Ridge, 73 Hasbrouck Heights, 0. Park Ridge fvs. Ramsey On Armistice Day Plark Ridge went to Ramsey. The Ramsey boys had been to Park Ridge a few weeks previous and had proven to be a hard and well-trained team. This meant a hard fight. The game opened and in the first minute Henry Pisca- cano, going to tackle a Ramsey player, was inter- cepted and received a broken leg. Seib, a 'green' man, was put in his place and the game continued. The Park Ridge spirit was very low. With the loss of one of our guards everything seemed to be against Park Ridge. But it proved to be dif- ferent. The Ramsey team was not so well trained, but had much more weight than had Park Ridge. But with Heale and Albertson running away with forwards, and Dickson going through the whole Ramsey team, a score of 35 was made while Ram- sey did not score. Park Ridge fvs. Leonid This was the last scheduled game of the season, but it was doubtful as to whether it would be played, as weather conditions were very'much against it. The field was in poor condition and slow playing on the part of both teams was the result. Therefore it was not long runs or line plunges that gained any ground for Park Ridgeg it was forward passes. The game ended with a score of 20 for Park Ridge and 4 for Leonia. Park Ridge tus. Park Ridge Alumni The day for the great Alumni Game came. Considering the weight and experience that the Alumni team had, it looked as though the unexperienced men of the High School would have a hard time keeping these players from getting a large score. The Alumni made the first touch- down but failed to kick the goal. Park Ridge High held the Alumni, and also made a touchdown and kicked the goal, thus making the score 7 to 6 in favor of the High School. It looked hopeful. There was about three minutes to play when Neu- berg of the Alumni made one of his famous drop 56 The H005 kicks, thus bringing their score up to 9. The game ended, giving the High School no more chance to score. Final score, Alumni, 93 High School, 7. Total points, Park Ridge, 1873 opponents, 92.

The very minute a step is heard, All eyes turn toward that Hight'lg Clt's usually only Ethel and I But four eyes gaze with afright.j For at the foot of those T steps Up which we seldom race, A desk, a typewriter, and a chair, Is Mr. Schmerber's tiny place. lt's usually during the study hour That one can't laugh or sneeze, A cold, curt, Outside, please. Without almost always hearing P . And so we betake ourselves to the landing That place above the stairs, Clf the 'lsofan refuses to hold us all CWC double up on the chairsj And we're always very quiet: We never laugh or shoutg And we never go downstairs for things VVe'd rather do without. Perhaps you too will need to come To the landing we know so well, But what you do, or what you'Ve done We neither ask nor tell. 64 1 The Hoot Cook Book of 1921 ETHEL ROSEMUND T To a Well-stirred mixture of plumpness and good looks add a pint of nevertiring cordial spirit.

Here lies Dora, who lead the cheers Until Atropos came and cut with her shears. Here lies Doc whose temper was hot, But he's gone to a place where we hope it is not. Under the soil six feet deep Lies little Louise in a peaceful sleep. Stop! Look at the grave of our sweet Chappy, Who married a blonde and died real happy. Here lies Dickson, who did his part, He took his life when he lost his Hartt. In this grave lies Jimmy Healeg He died in want of a square meal. Stranger pause as you pass by, Here's the remains of a girl named Vi. He is dead, is our friend Dick, Lord preserve him from the old boy Nick ln her grave is Arline Marsh, She got married but he was too harsh. Retta is a girl who was a nurseg Some thought her bad, but she wasn't so worse. Ethel plugged both night and day, Until the angles called and she went away. Miss Engle was a shy little miss, VVho died when receiving her first kiss. Here lies the body of little Marieg She's gone to heaven, and so has he. Arthur of the girls was fondg He died while chasing a peroxide blonde. A very wild lfoy was our friend lim, But two times married did for him. Hagan's gone, but he had to go, For he'd learned everything that there w know. Cooper is gone, he was real cleverg Now he can sleep forever and ever. Carl is gone from this land, And now he plays in the heavenly band. Here lies Joyce an lrish queen And waving above her is a flag of green. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! The angels called Whitey and he had to go. HS to The H001 67 Levi Cohen ENTS, der soobject uf mine leedle talk dis efening iss voman, der loveliest creature efer put on earth. Before ve marry dem ve tell dem ve can't live mitout dem und after ve are married to dem ve find ve can't live mit dem. Every man is entitled to eight wives, because ven you get married don't der preacher say for better or for vorse. De Good Book says dat voman came from der rib uf man, but I vould like to see der rib vot Bar- num's fat voman came from. Oi, vimmen are now enterink politics. Dey say voman's place is at der polls. Sure, der Nort und der Sout poles. Der vimmen boast dat dey haff taken der places uf men und get men's wages. Dey always got men's wages, only now dey haff to work for dem. Dey say pity der poor bachelor. He got no- body to sew any buttons on his shirt. Look at der poor married man, he got no shirt to sew buttons on. Now we haff lady firemen. Oi, oi, can you imagine dot? Suppose dere came in an alarm all uf a sudden. Der lady firemen vould ferst haff to cold cream und paint dere sheeks. Den comes powder for der nose. Dey den get ouid in der ...., street. In a big department store dere is going on a sale und dey see it. I esk you, peoples, vot habbens to der fire in der meantime? Dey now tell us dey haff lady sheriffs and policemen. Again I esk you can you see an oldt maid police- man arrest a man? No, indeed, mine friendts, instead of der station house und der sergeant she vould march him to der parish house und der par- son. Anudder crook gone wrong. Und dose married vimmen. You don't know vat you got before you get dem und after you get dem you don't know vat you've got. Der udder night I vent mineself to der movies. In der middle uf der picture der manager announced dat dere is a married voman mit anudder married man in der teator und dat he vill put ouid der lights so der couple vill leaf der show quietly und dere vill be no disturbance. All right, ouid goes der lights. In anudder minute dey come on again. Oi, der teater is empty, all but me und Abie. Mine friendts, voman's greatest fault is talking. I read in der paper yesterday dat a voman had nagged her husband to death und den she put up a tombstone for him. On it she wrote, Rest in peace until I join you! Mine friend Abie says his old voman can boss him but he is king in his own house. Sure he is kingg I was dere when his wife crowned him mit a frying pan. 68 Class 1 9 2 I Donald Albertson, nicknamed Doc, A fellow whom we all respect, Married soon after he left our midst. CThey say that he is sure henpeckedj Surely you remember Joyce, The fellows used to call her Mike ? Now she's teaching girls and boys Readin', writinl, an' such like. Dora Beck, the girls' best player, Sure could give that ball a twist, Now of Park Ridge, she's the mayor, Rules it with an iron first. Little Art, our champion center, Travelled down to Stevens, Tech, Soon he was a star inventor- Made a jug that had no neck. YWW. , . . .1 'I7ze H 001' e Next our old friend, D. E. Cooper, At writing stuff he was a shark: Alas, he runs the loop-the-looper, Right near the gates at Palisades Park Kenny Dickson, handsome loafer, Made two million or maybe three, Now he sits upon a sofa, Nibbling crackers, drinking tea. Tall Miss Ellin, proud and haughty, You should see our dear Louise! She no longer thinks he's naughty As he holds her on his knees. Miss Engle was a quiet miss, Oh! shy, quiet, and demure was Frances Until she tasted her first kiss, Now she sings, laughs, whistles, and dances I must tell you about Gronquist- Tho, I really shouldn't bother, He went out and made a conquest- Now ten kiddies call him father. To become a lawyer brilliant, That's what Hagan deemed his mission Now he has the thanks of millions, For he cut out prohibition. The H001 Miss Hoffman, when she left our school, Got married quick and settled down, Her husband says fand Dick's no foolj 3 She's the best little wife in the whole darn town. Jimmy Henle, our football star, Sure could play a violin. Now he own's a regular car, And has loads of shining tin. Jacot earns his living still vlith the fingers of his handy As he plays in vaudeville, Shop girls whisper, Ain't he grand! There always was some go and hop ln husky, football-playing Dick, Now in New York's best barbershop He waits, your face and ears to nick. You remember shy Miss Marsh? Teaching: that was her vocation 'Til she met an ace,,' by gosh, Then she took up aviation. Young Miss Nelson took up nursing, Now she holds beneath her spell lWen whose ills she is dispersing, They do not want to get well. Ethel Rosemund, you remember, Yes, that's she, that quiet girly Now she's a hair-dressing artist, Marcelle, bob, or simply curl. Let me tell you of Miss Schriever! She made one young man be good, He told her then, he'd never leave her- Now she wishes that he would. As we read each f,ellow's life, We must not forget Bob Steverg He's got the sweetest little wife, He says he'll never, never, grieve her. As for Whitey, little dearie, With his face so bored and weary, He leads an existence dreary: Announcer on the well-known Erie. And as for poor, insignificant Me, l'm naught but a second class poet, y My rhythm is wild and my meter is free, But still l remain. yours, as ever, R. C. 59 OU SCC 70 D. GA. 1.1. B. D. C. B. A. J.
