No other thing can take the place of a lligh School training, one might almost say that such :1 training is a prerequisite to success. 'l'he fundamental purpose of a High School is to turn out a thorough all-round person who is able to cope with the problems of the world. 'l'o do this the lligh School must develop the person mentally, morally. physically and socially. 'llhe lligh School course has broadened so materially that now physical training is required of every student. 'llhis course tends to produce a well developed, normal body. 'l'he physical training is such that it fits the need of the individual student. Courses in Hygiene, Biology, etc., are alsoofgreat value for they teach the function and the care of each part of the body. Primarily of course. the lligh School course is planned with the view of developing one intellectually. By bringing one into contact with great minds tends to broaden our view point. The great variety of subjects offered en- ables every student to follow his particular bent while at the same time open- ing new fields to him. 'l he ability to think, to see things through to a conclusion is also developed during the course. 'illhe student is given every opportunity to aid him in thinking deeply, and of getting to the root of a matter. Particularly to a mathematically inclined student' the newer courses are of great help. 'l'he history course has changed very materially within the last few years. Now the reason underlying courses of great movements are studied rather than unimportant events. The lligh School course gives a vast amount of general and specific know- ledge on a great variety of subjects. Still a superficial knowledge of facts, etc. is discouraged since the purpose is to gain not a smattering of subjects but a knowledge of how to learn those subjects and how to apply them. The High School course fits one to enter higher places of learning or to enter the world. Generally a curriculum is divided as in Park Ridge into three parts. one course for students who wish to enter college, one for those 7 liiiik sisafigyg who just desire general knowledge and another for those who wish to learn some trade or profession with which to conquer the world. Great numbers of students are now enrolling in this latter course since it is the one which en- ables a student to go out and earn his living immediately. The High School course is also of great value socially. The course fosters constant contact with other people. This cannot help but broaden a person for association with another person forces one to consider other people. Usually many social affairs are held under the auspices of the High School. This of course helps one socially. Taking the term society in another way the course helps one to be a better member of society. The sound knowledge of history and the social sciences aids one in seeing the fallacy in socialistic arguments. The spirit of American- ism and Democracy is bound to be inculcated by a good High School training. So it is evident that a High School training is of value in many respects. Not only is the individual student bettered but the country at large is the gainer by a good citizen. The High School is therefore one of the greatest factors in improving the nation. 7 S X A l ra.-SE ' U.. ' ' '..,l T-1? ' '39 .1 Q 5 t .is'EQQT S Class Poem Park Ridge High School, now we must leave thee, Though our hearts are filled with woe, To enter the strenuous Battle of Life, VVhich might bring joy or sorrow. Far have we sailed in thy good ship, And long has been our fight, And welll ne'er forget the cruise we've made. NVith the Maroon and the White. Though we'll look back at what we've done, And utter a sigh of relief, Though We'll be free from Assemblies and tests, VVe part from thee in grief. Though many have been the struggles, And many the days of strife, Yet, Park Ridge High School you've prepared us To dare the battle of life. Park Ridge High School, though we must leave you To strive in fields anew, VVe'll always bear in our minds The debt we owe to you. Now is the time to say FareWell.', Farewell to thee, Park Ridge High, VVe wish you all that's good in the world, XYe bid you a heartfelt good-bye. V Mr. Louis J.

They entered High School! At first they felt themselves perfect nonentity but gradually they adjusted themselves and soon became ardent rooters for Park Ridge High. Their first. act as members was to definitely organize. This was done under the direction of Miss Hartt and Miss Zerfoss, Alice Wickenden being chosen as Class President. As the task of giving a Spread has always devolved upon the Freshmen, the class began to think of the best method to present an original entertain- ment. lt was finally decided to give a play and Hickory Hollow School was finally agreed upon. Under the direction of Miss Hartt work progressed rapidly and the clever sketch was finally put on. Forester's Hall was hired for the occasion and after the play dancing was enjoyed and finally refresh- ments were served. Altogether this Spread was a marked success and proved the social ability of the Freshmen. The next year fifty of the original band of fifty-four appeared at the High School which had just been opened. There was a marked difference in their carriage, they seemed much more sure of themselves and why not? They were Sophomoresl Again they organized this time electing john Healey as president. Much more was expected of them this year and they certainly lived up to the expectations. The first honor that came their way was the placing of Ted Wiesner and the two llmens on the Varsity Football Team. Then jo Stewart made the Basketball Team as side center while Grace Fish and Lillian Paull were sub- stitutes. Finally in the spring John Healey and Marcel Soubie became out- fielders on the Baseball team. As if these were not honors enough Jo Stewart by a large majority was voted the most popular girl in the school. Around March the Sophomore Class held a sleigh-riding party which was a huge success. The only trouble was that while the spirit of the horses was willing the flesh was weak. The class traveled around all the country and finally wound up at Ted VViesner,s house where refreshments were served. As the horses were rather tired we walked home. Another very enjoyable class party was held at Miss Emmons' house. Now we are Juniors a very great step up in our world. lVe are no longer children but men and women and must conduct ourselves as such. As we foresaw the need for a graceful host for the Prom. as well as, a good business man Raymond Oberle was elected president. livery team of the school had representatives from the Junior Class. Healey, Wiesner, Noonan, Dickson and the Ihnens were on the Football team. John Healey made the boys' basketball team, Ray Oberle being manager. For the girls, team the Juniors sponsored Burrowes, Fish and Stewart as regulars and as substitutes Bass, Weiner, Henryson. Ihnen, Soubie and llealey made the Varsity Baseball team. Un February Sth The Private Secretary the masterpiece of Junior art was given. lt was a great hit, due to Miss Emmon's coaching and the drama- tic ability demonstrated. Ted Wiesner as Uncle Cattermole was particularly fine. Alter the intensive work put on this we needed a little recreation and so a class party was held at Miss limmonis house. A superb Floor and excel- lent refreshments served to make the party a very pleasant affair. 29 Q Tlrlili ETOOT? A Another laurel added to the Junior crown was the winning by John Healey, of the election as most popular boy in the school. Then came one of the greatest honors which has ever been granted to a junior Class. The entire Debating team was composed of Juniors! The exceptional ability of Earl Smith, Howard Tallman, Herbert Harris and Elsie Pearson caused this phenomenon. The final culmination of the accomplishments of juniors was the Junior Prom. The gym was artistically decorated in yellow and white and together with the beautiful gowns gave a very colorful effect. Bisner and his band were excellent and the floor was as smooth as glass. All these factors con- tributed toward making a huge success of the Prom. At last we returned as Seniors the acknowledged head of the school. Our first task was to select a president. After much thought john Kent was chosen. This was an unusual honor as John had only been with us for a year. Our first contribution to the social was an entertainment which was given by a special performer-Miss lylayme English+Lillotte. This netted us quite a sum and we then proceeded to give a dance which was a great success. As usual we contributed to all the teams, Wiesner, Noonan, Nelson. lhnen, Healey and Kent were members of the Football team. Stewart. Burrowes, Fish, Weiner and Henryson made the Varsity Basketball, Jo Stewart being captain and Sarah VVeiner manager. Soubie, Healey and Nel- son made the Baseball team. In Debating, as usual, we shone. Pearson, Harris and Smith being named for Varsity. However, Earl was taken ill and so Nutley, another Senior, substituted. The A. A. was also largely managed by the Seniors, John Healey being president. One of the crowning events of the year was the Senior play, The Rivals. This famous classic was exceptionally well acted and was very ably coached by Miss Collingwood and Miss Emmons. After the play a very enjoyable party was held at the home of Margaret Henryson. Everyone was pepped up after the play and so the party was very lively. Of course the supreme event of the year to us was commencement. A brand new idea was tried out in the form of an operetta. The one chosen was Gilbert and Sullivan's H. M. S. Pinafore.,' Due to intensive work and natural ability it was extremely successful. So ends a record of four long years, which on the whole have been happy ones. NVC have received much from P. R. H. S. and from its training, and we hope that we have contributed something to it. -e, be N9 Wil E71 Eg! The Clothes Model CTaken from poems in English IYQJ He was a phantom of delight, VVhen first he came upon my sight. His countenance was shaved so clean, His hair besmudged with vaseline. His English hat with turn-down brim, His tie-so loudvso smart-so trim, In short his whole appearance spoke Of submissiveness to Fashionls yoke. And that is why I fell for him Tho' made of wax and paraffin. 30 flisiiSE EE QW Class Prophecy 'I' was a sultry summer night in the Mediterranean. 1 was pacing the deck with the captain and he and 1 felt in a reminiscent mood. Our minds wandered back to the days of joy and wrath we had spent together in a well remembered High. For you see, my dear friends, this gruff sea captain of 19-15 was none but the football manager and Senior utility man of P. R. H. S. 1925, Theodore G. Wiesner. It seems that we knew very little of our former class mates save, of course, Teddyls wife, that tempestuous songster, Made- leine Fleming. Madeleine had made a name for herself in the theatrical world and Teddy had received many ominous threats for daring to remove her from public worship. Suddenly the ship gave a lurch and events passed so rapidly that my mind whirled and I realized I was going under water. Oddly enough my mind reverted to the subject I had discussed so shortly beforc.' l saw dimly yet with growing clearness a huge auditorium filled with a breathless audience-a thundering oration was being delivered, by-I gasped, sputtered, it couldn't be true-by Frank Pasini while cringing with timidity in the front row sat John Healey as if he were afraid to be seen. Do you wonder at my disbelief? Next I discerned the Capitol grounds at Viiashington. Grace Fish was giving gymnastic instruction to the corpulent President fl need not tell you whyj who unfortunately did not prove to be a member of our class altho need- less to say he belonged to some other Senior Class of 1925. Next I saw the interior of a rather dilapidated building. On the plat- form an extremely rabid person was fervently pleading the cause of the Socialists. I chanced to recognize her as the logical successor of Eugene V. Debs, Margaret Henryson. Then a vista of the jungle opened before my eyes and in swallow-tailed coat and Hat hat 1 perceived Charles Nelson eagerly instructing the illiterate natives. He was ably assisted by his pretty wife, Jo Stewart, who in frills and laces sat under an umbrella entertaining as large a crowd of adoring blacks as was her more serious husband. ' The front page of a newspaper next appeared and 1 saw the name of Jeanne A. Conover, a prosperous realtor in New York. The article was in connection with her sale of Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges to a wealthy but gullible foreigner who was anxious to invest some of his wealth in a paying enterprise. VVhen Jeanne showed him the traffic over these bridges and he had considered the huge tolls that he would collect annually he hurriedly pur- ehased the twins for the sum of 5250. It is needless to say that he was out 59250 and in some business experience. At New Orleans I saw Ray Oberle engaged in the export trade. He was manager of a firm which exported huge shipments of beet sugar to Cuba in order that the Cubans might taste the sweet side of life. After that shock 1 saw the beautifully appointed apartments of Janet Dickson. a prominent scciety belle. Lolling in an easy chair was her social secretary. Caroline Rich, eagerly reading the latest news ofa certain Syracuse graduate. The brilliantly lighted stage of a prominent French theatre was seen and gracefully Hitting about on it appeared Lillian Pasini, la premiere danseuse of the world, and her gallant partner, Herbert Kordula. 31 W fasts.. atiasta Next the dignified chambers of the Senate appeared and I instan ly re- cognized in tl1e speaker, my old friend, John Briggs Kent, at that moment refusing to recognize the persistent loud-voiced member from New jersey, Ilon. William Noonan. Then I saw my own law office. I, seated in my easiest chair, was reading the Sports edition o' the Sun. I noticed that the Yale baseball team had added another victory to its list, due as usual, to the expert coaching of my old classmate Marcel Soubie. Slowly I turned the pages till I reached the section devoted to the ques- tion of new money. I settled down to read the interesting article written by Representative Iileanor Nutley of Kansas. The article was in defense of a recent speech in which she advocated placing United States on a lead basis. tll because there was more of it, C25 gold is too easily counterfeited by brass. Her opponents refute this statement by saying that lead may also be imitated by platinum. Suddenly the gorgeous lights of a Broadway sign were thrust upon my eager sight and I easily saw that they advertised Ruth Birdsall in the latest musical comedy. In this I was not surprised for I well remembered Ruth's voice of old. Then liunice Kinmouth appeared. She was one of the personnel of the Liberian diplomatic corps and was at present at Arsuk, Greenland. She had shown her marked ability in a treaty that she had arranged between the Greenland government and her own. This treaty prohibited Greenland from exporting coffee to Liberia, and Liberia agreed to cease sending her opium to Greenland. Miss Kinmouth received the approval of the world for thus perpetuating its peace. Then I was quickly transporled into a place of horrors and evil smells. I might have known who I would find here! Howard Tallman, a well-known chemist, who mixed chemicals without caution to the great despair of Phoebe Bass, his wife and former nurse. Next I saw Earl Smith riding in ease in his limousine. liarl, after his marvelous discovery of a serum for the immediate cure of scarlet fever, had never had to worry about money or work. Soon I perceived the office of the business manager of a large manu- facturing eoncern. There was the capable Sarah E. Weiner dictating letters to no less a person than Loretta Ellin. After this I saw the interior of a huge university library. Two people were eagerly discussing the fourth dimension. Only two people in the world tthat I knewj would be willing to sacrifice such summer weather for that. I needed no second glance-they were Elsie Pearson and Herbert Harris-ex- pert mathematicians. Suddenly my eyes were startled by a huge Red and White sign Bergen County Real Estate-See Charles Bolgerf' Then I saw him-thumbs t.ucked in his vest, feet on the desk, and his chair titled back-lazily surveying the panorama of the country through his window. I was intensely glad that Charles had remembered his school colors and my mind went back to the school itself but suddenly I was halted. I felt a jerk and discovered myself being raised on the end of a boat-hook for to the great amusement of all on board, I had merely fallen overboard and forgotten how to swim.

Senior Proverbs Definition: A short sentence drawn from a long experience. I A school and a graduate are soon parted. An ounce of knowledge is worth a pound of bluff. An excuse on time saves nine. A rolling stone gathers no mossg one who skips gym ean't learn to jump the hoss. An unexcused absence is the root of much trouble. It's a wasted talk in the auditorium that gets no one out of an unprepared lesson. Absence makes your marks grow rounder. Never study today what you might bluff through tomorrow. What cannot be cured must be enduredg e.g., some of the speeches in chapel. ' All speeches and no play makes chapel excercises dull entertainment. Cowards die many times before their deaths-Seniors flunk many times before their tests. 'A pupil is known by the notebook he keeps. The pin is mightier than the sword to pin up a sign on the bulletin board. In the spring the minds of sweet girl graduates lightly turn to thoughts of -How shall my dress be made? Vllhen in school do as you're told to doe-when graduated do as you please. Never look a gift horse in the mouthg never ask a teacher why he gave you an A. A lesson learned is a good mark earned. You can lead a pupil to knowledge but you ean't make him learn. Stenogs. work from sun till sun, a teachers, work is never done. Students may come and graduates may go, but the faculty goes on forever. The world loves a cheerful bluffer. 35 'wiv . - so BQ : t Q iv .src ...ssc .N s. Rs. X Short Cuts c.

The gymnasium was beautifully deco- rated with rainbow colors, trimmed in a japanese roof effect, running the length of the gymnasium. The refreshment and service tables were covered with blue and gold, the junior class colors. The music was furnished by Messner Brother's Five of Ridgefield Park. The refreshments were served by the junior boys. The gymnasium was well filled, about one hundred couples being present. The Prom was opened by a Grand March led by the president of the class, Arthur Lehman, after which the students and their friends were received by a Committee consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Schmerber and the members of the Board of Education. As twelve o'clock drew near, blue and gold hats were donned, colored streamers thrown from group to group, making the hall lively with all the colors of the rainbow. The Prom was voted one of the most successful ever held, all of which may be credited to the work and hearty cooperation of all members of the Junior class, with the assistance of their class teacher, Miss Emmons. is er S-14 Q ' OUR FAR VVESTERN JOKE Simple: What makes your cook so bow-legged?

The results have shed new hght on many of our classmates. Ray.Oberle was almost unanimously adjudged the most popular person residing in the Senior classroom. The distinction of being the Laziest Person was bestowed upon jo Burrowes, although Fleming and Bolger were close seconds for that honor. lixcitment ran high during the balloting for the Class Yenus. The elec- tion board decided a tie between Fish and Stewart and those two are yet light.- ing for a final and separate decision. Herb Kordula, easily won the title of Class Clown, although Soubie, Pasini and Harris received some stray votes. A few sarcastic voters added postscripts of which He wins by his facev was typical. Earl Smith received the condemnation of the class for being the most deceptive Senior. It was evident that the voters based their decisions upon the fact that Earl under some doubtful pretense of being ill, probably sick of school. received a ninety-nine year leave of absence from school activities. lt niust be admitted however, that liarl had the senioral sense to take a short sojourn at the Isolation Hospital at Oradell in order to cover all or any incrimi- nating evidences. Eleanor Nutlev also received a 'reat deal of mention alon 1 this line? . L ls Harris won appreciation as having done the most to benefit Park Ridge Iligh School. with odd mention of Wiesner and Pearson. Some coneeited electors voted Me or Myself Conover led all contestants as the biggest grind with mention of Noonan, Nelson and Kinmouth. The ballot for The Least Appreciatedn was an utter failure inasmuch as it aroused ever 'one's self- it f and rom ted them to unanimousl ' vote N y M P i P P 5 Myself and Poor Me. To the extreme astonishment of many students john Kent was decided to be the Best Bluffer with Healey, Bass and Loretta Ellin in the distant run. Margaret Henryson and Eleanor Nutley each declared their satisfaction at having been tied for the title of Class Dumbell. lt was conclusively decided and approved that the Non de Plumesn or was it None but Prunesn of Class Flapper and Class Finale Hopper, go respectively to Caroline Rich and Frank Pasini, though Oberle ran a good second to Frank. Among the faculty, Mr. Sullivan seems to be the favorite. Mr. Schmer- ber and Miss Emmons will have to toss up for the satisfaction of being the hardest to-bluff. Mr. Silverman was a good third. The Seniors are of the common opinion that Mr. Laurier with Miss Carey as a second, are the easiest to bluff. Some stray votes from wild voters named Kliss Emmons for that distinction. That enviable title of Class Angel went to Howard 'l'allman. Wiesner -1-11 E THE HOOT H supporters put up as hard a fight as the McAdoo and Smith supporters at the last Democratic National Convention, but to no avail. Miss Pearson had the support of the class as a unit for the degree of Class Devil and Miss Birdsall as Vice-Devil. It is feared that Tallman will be growing wings and Pearson horns. Miss Stewart holds the honor of being the Best Dancer, though distinc- tion in this fantastic art is claimed also by Lillian Pasini, Harris and Soubie. Honors were declared unsatisfied with the following on the list as promi- nent Class Nuisances: Wiesner, Ellin, Fleming and Burrowes. The class showed its good judgement in pronouncing Kent the Best Respected with Fleming and Bass in the field. It was conceded only after a long fight for Noonan, that VViesner was the Class Troublemaker and Villian. The best Athlete of the class was voted to be jack Healey with Fish and Nelson racing for that distinguished place. Lillian Pasini was ordained the most reliable Senior, with Nelson, Birdsall and Soubie close at her heels. Bert Noonan, it is believed is destined to become the Class Bachelor although many think that VViesner and Bolger have little chance of getting nailed for life. Me's,' and You's were also cast. janet Dickson in addition to her other honors, lays claim to being the most likely Old Nlaid. Some non-commital persons wrote, 'fhlyselfu and How're you going to tell F A blue ribbon for being the most beautiful boy in the class was presented to its president, John Kent. It is rumored that he received many points on his little hands, big mannish feet,', drowsy eyes and that beautiful hair comb. Some gave him votes for his magnificient shoe shine but these were necessarily discarded. The student most capable of stretching the truth was declared un- animously to be Ruth Birdsall. She had no opponents in that field. Study Hall won hands down as the favorite subject. However, some ambitious Seniors voted Latin, Chem., History and English, while Wiesner tried his best to swing a solid vote for Trig. Homework won without even ayes or nayes, as the most disagreeable subject and as the one most shirked. For the most popular means of transportation some idealists put, Roles Royce or Packard, while the more practical ones voted-feet, bus, lizzie and puddle jumper. Football was selected as the most popular outdoor sport with baseball, joyriding, chess, dominoes and checkers following in the above order. Basketball, dancing, movies, eating and water polo were in the order named, adjudged the favorite indoor sports. Study received one split vote, while one ignoramus put golf and tennis on his ballot. On the vote as to the preference of brunettes and blondes we found the only decisive votes falling to the brunettes while most of the students voted- both,,' either or neither.', 50 S' , es .Q A Swv-3 Qi. y--k as The cloakrooms are the favorite parking spaces except for those who prefer the balcony or the office. s Opinions expressing the favorite age for eggs and hash were variable. A few favorites were: Young and innocent, stone age,', old as Tut, any- time and when the eggs are broiling sizef' The most popular brands of face powders were, Rumfords, T.N.T., flour, Old Dutch and pumice-stone, with library and Colgates as the most used toothpastes. Birdsall caused a momentary stampede when she declared her two favorites to be, 2 in 1 polish and Gold Dust. The girls favored the class with their decision that of all facial creams, Cream of VVheat was the favorite and that it should be applied each day with a cream puff. The boys' heartily approved of the drain oil from crank-cases as the best substitute for Sta-Comb. Healey opposed the use of any oils as being too thin and personally recommended axel grease which he says can be bought. more economically by the tub. Jack has recently been demonstrating his favorite. Leavenworth is the favorite college with the Electoral College, Columbia and the School for Defectives also favored. One-fourth the class affirmed that it did not smoke. The rest either smoked glasses, smoked herrings, smoked like an engineg while one fanatic yelled, Where's the fire? and rang the school alarm. In answer to the question Are you married?,' lf not why notfv the fol- lowing answers were received. Eventually, why not now?', No chance, Not yet,', Give me liberty or give me death, I value life, Yes, I fell', and Yes, pity mef, Some sensitive balloters merely answered: None of your business and VVhy? is it a crime? A few fortunate classmates are allowed out as many nights in the week as they want. Others: seven, none, eight or nine. all but hlonday. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and when the governor's not around. When asked, How many girls have you kissed?'l or How many boys' have you kissed ?', the following reports were receivedg None of your business one's enough, lost count, Don't get personal, all that would let me,', never kept trackf, my adding machine broke, and let me think. Some less truthful Seniors answered, none, and l don't do such things. This ballot ended the voting and it is firmly believed that no one as re- putable as a Senior of 1925 would for any reason make any misleading, false, sarcastic or untruthful statement on his or her ballot. 22+ Thanksgiving Dance Turkeys and chickens strutted around a gorgeously decorated orange and brown barnyard, generally known as the gym, decked out in all their finest feathers. The Arcadians furnished the cackling and appropriate atmosphere for the party. Turkeys gobbled, for a good while, about their misfortune in not being allowed a feature spotlight dance, and many attendant pleasures, owing to the conventionality of the faculty. However, the poultry, as a whole, managed to hop in the usual manner and signified their delight at the evening's fun by various exclamations of approval. ' Sl OJ C LL' 4-J I3 s..

W . ' 'fllf Debating Club which has always been considered one of the most interesting and valuable organizations in the school met in January to formally organize for the year. Although this club has existed for a number of years in this school still they had never adopted a constitution and so our first work was to draw up one. Also in the first meeting the fifty members who had been chosen as being most worthy to enter the club elected as Presi- dent. Herbert Harrisg Vice-president. Howard Tallmang Secretary, Sarah Weinerg Treasurer, Arthur Lehman. Weekly meetings were held and a variety of subjects discussed. As there was an immediate need for money to purchase books and other supplies numerous cake and candy sales were held. Also a very successful dance was field in the Gym. ltllsie Pearson was sent as official delegate to the Rutger's Conference. Alter much discussion Rutgers decided that the question for debate be: Resolved, that the proposed twentieth amendment should be ratified. Park Ridge was grouped with Ridgefield Park, Fort. Lee and Hasbrouck Heights. We were to debate first with Hasbrouck Heights and by a lucky toss of a coin we were enabled to choose the side. We decided on the affirmative. There was much excellent material in the club so the choice of a team was very difficult. After a process of selection and elimination, lfarl Smith. George Buschbaum, Herbert Harris and lfllsie Pearson were chosen. How- ever, the next day liarl Smith developed scarlet fever and was replaced by lfleanor Nutley. The team worked very hard and about two weeks before the debate they held a debate in the Auditorium. The second team was composed of Arthur Lehman, lfleanor Nutley, John Hansen and David XYeill. This debate ended in a 3-tl decision for the first team. After considerable polishing of their speeches the team declared them- selves ready to meet their opponents. At last the great night March 201 h arrived. The debate was to be held in Hasbrouck Heights and so buses were chartered by means of which the student body could attend the debate. The cheers and songs were exceptionally fine. This was due to the cheer leaders, Madeleine Fleming and Ross Pouncey. and to the great enthusiasm which was prevalent among the student body. The songs, which were led by Miss hlorrison. were especially composed for the occasion by the Senior girls. There were songs to the tunes of Dear One 'flfollow the Swallow and june Night. 53 '.a t X k N,'K Y W NNW XV' NN' Q ex UW K I , A' tt .gtg ff s to X - i K K kg Dl'IBA'l'lNG TEAM lilsie l'earson, Captain Herbert Harris George Buschbaum lfilCZlIlOI' Nutley, Alternate Klr.

We had a very excellent arrangement of subject matter. ltilsie Pearson as first speaker gave a short history of the question and then conclusively proved that there is need for Federal control. George Buschbaum as second speaker proved that State regulation had been a complete failure due to interstate abuses. Herbert Harris completed the argument for the aflirmative by proving that Federal control would eliminate the existing evils. After a fifteen minute intermission the rebuttals were delivered, lilsie Pearson representing Park Ridge. Although Hasbrouck Heights had been very negative in their proof the aHirmative succeeded in finding some weak points in their arguments. The negative rebuttal contained much construe- tive material and was further marred by being read. After a long hush the judges sealed their ballots and delivered them to the chair. To our dismay we found that the vote stood 2-l for the negative. However, one of the traditions of Park Ridge is to be good losers, and that we proved ourselves to be. Success to next year's team. 54 THE HOST Mock Debate Resolved: That oysters on the half-shell are better than those on the whole. The time allowed for the presentation speeches is plenty. Rebuttal-any time left over. Speakers: For the affirmative-hfiss Ima Halfshell Oyster. For the negative'-Miss Tlieycallme VI'hole shell. AFFIRMATIVE PRESENTATION SPEFCH Hail, men-of-eats men, I'm called Ima Halfshell oyster, sweet Ima Half- shell oyster, aye! The reason for it is that good things come in small parcels, and my big, conceited, clumsy lummox of an opponent is too hard to open and too awkward to handle to be of any value to oyster-eating mankind. Whereas little, adorable, fascinating I make water to flow freely from all the mouths of prospective diners. When my dishonorable, tough opponent is placed upon the table it groans to show its disapproval and guests frown with annoyance to think of the impropriety of putting such an unappetizing, unattractive morsel before them. I therefore appeal to your judgement, good or bad, to recognize in the arguments so logically set forth and so articulately presented the fact that I have proved conclusively that oysters on the half-shell are better than those on the whole. , NEGATIVE PRESENTATION SPEECH The question up for debate this evening concerns the welfare of the world so deeply, my dear fellow-suffers, that the decision is a most momentous undertaking. I am here to night to convince you that first, I am a more at- tractive, second, more useful, and third, a more handy and unusual specimen of the oyster family than my opponent. First, in regard to my quality of attraction, be it understood that it is greatly enchanced by the mystery that surrounds my unopened shell. I am more useful than my egotistic opponent in that I serve as a weapon that is easy to handle at any particularly obnoxious dinner party. As to my un- usualness, my very name proclaims aloud to the world my distinction as averse to that of my lowly, divided opponent. Finally my friends, remember that nations have been destroyed and civilization ruined all for a lack of proper regard for the old adage In unity there is strengthf' REBUTTAL-Negative: My unworthy relative has misapplied the proverb good things come in small parcels for although she may claim to be small she is entirely unpro- tected by any wrapping, hence, not a parcel. Also, she must take into con- sideration the fact that there are exceptions to all rules. Another glaring fallacy in the argument of this insignificant, deplorable portion of an oyster was the statement that the table groans when I, of the negative, come to rest in all my glory upon it. If my disintegrated sister used any logic she would have to admit that oysters on the half-shell take up much more room, than of the whole shell, and consequently add to the misery of the overloaded table. Therefore, I, the sole remaining bulwark of the oyster family, firmly maintain that oysters on the whole are far superior to those on the half-shell. At this point in the debate It is sad to relate, That Miss Ima the delectable Was et', by the judge respectable. 55 M in 4 A LJ M 4 x L' LL: 5 L4 56 at i ,t x .. 5 X i tg ,X-Xx N X t- ssse C t 5 bg A X S t 1 s it Ss Xxxxb awww st s -4- , ,IN - dugg, s. 1 .f , SCENIC FROM PHE RlYAI.S The Rivals llltl Seniors chose a quaint eighteenth century play The Rivalsl' by Richard lirindsley Sheridan to be given April 2-ltli and 25th. lYhen the curtain rose a charmingly decorated living room ofthe country home of Bob Acres was presented. The dance held there that evening clearly portrayed the elaborate costumes and dances of that period. lllien the heroine l.ydia l.anguish was introduced she acted extremely well the part of the misused niece of an erratic aunt, Mrs. Malaprop. Her cousin Julia Melville and John liaulkland were the most jealous pair of lovers imaginable and added greatly to the interest of the play. Sir Anthony Absolute, the irate father of Captain -lack Absolute alfo ded many laughs be- cause of his mild temper. Captain Absolute pretends to his romantic sweetheart, Lydia, that he is dispised by her aunt and they plan to elope. Many humorous complications result since Lydia's aunt knows Captain Absolute' only as his real self. He is linally found out. and Lydia will have nothing to do with him because she can have no elopement. However, when she finds that he is in danger on the held of honor she quickly becomes iecon- ciled and the play ends with the lovers again happy. The honors of the evening go to Theodore Wiesner as Sir Anthony and Madeleine Fleming as Mrs. Malaprop. The mild emper of the former and the large words, so ingeniously misapplied without being mispronounced of the latter, nearly caused a riot. Charles Nelson in the character of Bob Acres caused many laughs by his constant worry over his rival Beverly, who turned out in the end to be his friend, 'lack Absolute. This part was very ably taken by Raymond Oberle. William Noonan Boastful Sir Lucius O'Trigger gave everyone to under- stand the importance of his ancestrial tree. f 1 57 H TH HOOT S Josephine Stewart acted the part of pretty Miss Lydia Languish with much spirit and Loretta Ellin took the part of friend and confidant, Julia. John Kent was Julia's very serious lover, Faulkland. Commendation was earned by John Healey in the character of Coachman Fag, who seemed to have so much trouble finding out his master's business. Lucy, the little meddler was portrayed by Caroline Rich. David, who had such fear of firearms and fights was played by Josephine Burrowes. The dances Cminuet and lancersj in the first act were organized under the direction of Miss Clarke and they added much to the beauty and authen- ticity of the play. During the intermissions, Mr. Laurier played several eighteenth centruy pieces. They were very beautiful and great applause was given to Mr. Laurier. Charles Bolger and his assistants did fine work in making and setting up the scenery. The actors worked hard and the whole class deserves credit for their suc- cessful efforts to make the play really enjoyable. cc ' ' 1 11 Cast of Pilgrlm s Progress Bolger .................. ........................,..........

Both performances were extremely well attended. Booth Tarking- ton's Seventeen, was admirably adapted to the age of the characters. The first curtain call discloses a modern living room with Mr. and lXlrs. Baxter discussing the new attitude of their son VVillie, just seventeen. Jane. XYillie's one real earthly trouble, seems to be talking too much, not altogether to W'illie's benefit. Johnny Watson and Joe Bullit, WYillie's closest friends. are discussing with VVillie the new girl that Mae Parcher has brought home, Lola Pratt. They all agree that she is not to be accepted as a member of the group but upon her arrival they all outdo each other in attendance upon her. As the time for her to leave approaches, a picnic is planned, using George Crooperis car, and also a farewell party at iXlae's home. George immediately monopolizes Lola and VVillie is wretched. The night for the party VVillie is dressed miserably in an old dress suit of his father's while George is resplendent in a natty sport suit. Of course, Lola choose George as her escort. and there is a touching scene of pathos at the end, in which Vl'illie promises his mother to go to college. The honors of the evening go to Charles Geel, for the excellent way in which he portrayed Willie Baxter. just seventeen. His father and mother. Arthur Lehman and Dorothy Saekman, acted just as the father and moth r of a boy seventeen would act, father cannot understand, but mother does in he sympathetic way. John Hansen as the cross and unsympathetic father of Klae acted his part well. Mention should also be made of VVillie's friends, lidwin hlulhall, George Dusterdieck, Clinton Rich and David VVeill. These boys vied with each other in making ardent love to hfae and Lola, parts taken by Hazel lXIcConser and Hazel Williams and acted in a very natural way. Caroline Judelson in her part cf Jane, the terror of all grown ups, shares the honors of the evening with Charles Geel. Genesis, acted by Angelo Tognoli made fun for all with the little dog which always followed him and which would associate with clean white dogs. Helen VVubbe as the fat girl, who wanted to teach Willie to dance caused much amusement. The members of the Junior Class are to be congratulated upon the suc- cessful way in which this play was produced and received by the audience both on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Seven boys joined and began to practice. They were: Herbert Kordula .... .......... P iano Frank Travclta .... ........... V 'iolin Edward Strokirk ..... . . .Banjo-Mandolin Harry Tatem ...... .......... C ornet George Streubert ..... ..... S axaphone Clinton Rich .......................... Saxaphone james Maher ............................. Drums The orchestra decided to hold regular practice on Tuesday and Thurs- days, of every school week. In January the orchestra played on both nights of the Junior play. This their official debut, was a great success. In March, owing to their lack of funds with which to purchase music, Miss Morrison announced a Popularity Contest which was to last for a week. The students were very much interested and much speculation as to who would be chosen as the most popular Girl and Boy, arose. All the classes of the High School entered their favorites, the Freshmen voted for Dorothy Weinerg the Juniors then came forward with Hazel VVilliams as their representativeg the Seniors threw their hat in the ring with Jo Burrowes, jo Stewart and john Healey, then came the Sophomores with Arthur Mehling. Each day the votes of that day were posted on the bulletin board. On Friday when the last votes were cast, the results were: Dorothy Weiner was selected as the most popular Girl and Arthur Mehling as the most popular Boy. 1 The pecuniary results were also very gratifying, the orchestra receiving a goodly sum. The orchestra has had a very successful season and we hope has become an established institution in the school. MR.

O XUTHICR milestone in the history of the Parlt Ridge High School Athletic Association has been passed. The ofbcers this year were: Healey, Presidentg YYiesner Yice- vresidentg Baillie, Secretary' and Duster- , 7 7 dieck. Treasurer. A large part' of the student body enrolled this year, and showed the Park Ridge High School spirit by supporting their A. A. and the teams developed to the utmost. During the year various unches and cake sales were held. all of which were successful. Un Xlay lst, the annual A. A. Dance was held in the Gym. The decorations were the product of much labor on the part of several members. A canopy of streamerscin two shades of blue was set' oll by clusters of yvistaria. The music was furnished by Kor- dula's popular Blue llill Ramblers. The allair was a great succcss socially and financially. The year was closed by the annual meeting on the last day of school at which the ollicers for the following Year were elected. U .-X. A.

GOT S Football HE best season in the history of Park Ridge High School -the best characterization of the season of 1924 that can be given. Although handicapped by the lack of a coach, the team from the High School on the Heights could more than hold its own with any team of its own weight in the surrounding counties. The veterans, Healey, lhnen, Noonan. Nelson and 1Viesner, supported by many willing candidates, succeeded in whipping into shape a team which brought home six consecutive victories of which live were shut-outs. Our first game was played on September 26 against our ancient rivals, YVestwood, at their grounds. Park Ridge was victorius by a score of 13-6. Our brilliant aerial attack was responsible for both our scores, each end receiving a long forward for a score. Westwood's score was made in the last minutes of the fourth quarter, which was stretched for the occasion. ' Our first home game resulted in another victory-this time over Pearl River by the score of 12-0. Captain Healey was absent in this game, due to injuries received at Westwood. Although only two days after the Pearl River game, the team won an- other shut-out on October 11. Bogota was the victim and the final tally was 7-0. On October 18, the Park Ridge supporters were treated to another vic- tory on our home grounds. The team which returned to Ramsey High School carried the lighter end of a 14-0 tally. This was followed on October 25 by a shut-out over the Hillsdale Young 1NIen's Club, an aggregation of ex-Park Ridge players. Our share of this game was a total of twenty-two points-our highest score of the season. Supported by a great number of rooters the team journeyed to Pearl River on November 1 to return the call they payed us on October 8. The result was our sixth consecutive victory, 20-0. This game saw our line plung- ing at its best. One of our scores in the second quarter came as the result of 95 yards of line plays, which were completed without losing the ball on downs. As Westwood forfeited the chance to a return game, the team received an unwanted rest of two weeks. Our next game was with Dumont. The long period of inactivity told on the team and we were tied by a score of 6-6. Dumont's touchdown was made under the screen of darkness in the last quarter. Maher saved the day by blocking the try for a point. H . The annual fracas with the Alumni on Thanksgiving Day ended in the only defeat suffered by the Maroon eleven. The High School team was out- weighed by an average of 25 pounds and the field was in bad condition due to persistent rains. The game began at 10:00 A. M. and due to arguments over changed rules, the 1:11131 whistle did not sound until 1:00 P. lNI. ln this game, the High School line and back field worked in perfect coordination. The High School's tally was the culmination of a series of line bucks which netted a total of S5 yards. This ended the season for the Maroon eleven. Eight games had been played-six won, one tied and one lost. 117 -s-M .N NW., Q... su... .-at ,W . , 5 tr sg .Q pf -india fx S 'QYQSEQ 1 . s .

Girls' Basketball HE Girls' Basketball Team did its best to make this a red-letter year in Athletics at Park Ridge High School. Only one player was lost by graduation, and the vacancy was competently filled. Out of a total of four- teen games, eight were won and six lost. The season was opened by a victory in practice over the Spring Valley girls. A The League season began with a visit to Bogota. The girls were de- feated but made up for it by defeating the Alumni the following week in the annual game, by a score of 17-14. ' The next game resulted in a 31-16 loss. Wvcstwood was the victor. Hasbrouck Heights next paid us a visit but carried home the lighter end of a 20-17 score. With Dumont, the 1924 champions, the girls were less successful, losing by a score of 37-16. On January 23rd, a visit was paid to Closter and here again victory awaited us. The final tally was 23-11. The return game with Bogota was lost 24-11. The 'ollowing week, Dumont was victorious over the girls. Luck seemed to have deserted the Maroon Sextet, for VVestwood defeated them the follow- ing week on the home court. The first of a. string of five consecutive victories was over Hasbrouck Heights ,by the comfortable margin of 21-15. In a very close practice game, Pearl River suffered a 17-16 defeat at our girlls hands. Piermont had the 11ext try at a victory but also went home defeated with a score of 20-7. The last game of the League season came on Xlarch 9th, This time Closter was the victim and succumbed to the accurate passwork and basket- work, 28-17. In this game Stewart starred at forward scoring 20 points out of Park Ridgels 28. bd mme-r e Q . S Q . t.. .4 GIRLS' I3.XSIil'I'I'I3,XI.I, 'ITLXNI GIRLS' B!XSIiI'lBAI.I.

Although we had lost three men by graduation, their places were filled by willing under- classmen. Twenty candidates reported for first practice, all hoping for a chance on the Varsity. Coach Laurier thinned this number down to a less unwieldy body, and practice began in earnest. The first game of the season was lost to Spring Valley by a score of 34-29. The official season was opened on December 12 by a 33-22 victory over Bogota. The team was accompanied by a bus load of loyal supporters. In a practice game on December 21, the team bowed in defeat to its own Alumni by a score of 24-20. VVe next played and decisively defeated our ancient rivals XVestwood on their own court. The final tally was 20-13. The next game of the B. C. 1. L. schedule again saw us victorious. This time our victim was Hasbrouck Heights and the score was 21-16. On January 20 we defeated Dumont by the neat margin of 33-17. Closter was met on their own court, and for the first time in the schedule, Park Ridge was defeated by a score of 21-18. The game was decided in the last few minutes of play. The next victory was over Bogota. Park Ridge played a conservative game and was victorious 16-10. The return game with Dumont saw us again victorious, this time by the close tally of 24-20. Friday, February 13-superstition may be bunk. but. the jinx was work- ing and we lost to Westwood 20-16. This was the beginning of a period of hard luck, for we lost to Hasbrouck Heights on February 20. Piermont had the satisfaction of a 26-22 victory over the Maroon and VVhite quintet in practice. Closter was one of the few League teams to win over us. The boys were determined to turn the tables and on March 9, the Park Ridge team set a pace which was too fast for the vistors with the resultant score of 41-26-the highest of the year. This officially closed the season--a total of thirteen games-seven won and six lost. Basketball is now firmly reestablished on the Heights and as no Varsity men graduate this year. much is to be expected fr m the team of '26, Let's go, underclassmen! 70 R ts L -R img n Date' Dec.

The Association was unanimously in favor of a baseball team. Charles Geel was elected manager. The Association voted that Park Ridge should join the North Bergen League with XVestwood, Hasbrouck Heights, Bogota, Closter and Dumont. Through the courtesy of the Hillsdale Athletic Association, Park Ridge was able to practice and hold their games on the Hillsdale Oval. Many recruits came out for practice and a good team was formed: Marcel Soubie was elected captain by the team. The first game was held with VVestwood. Park Ridge was defeated by 3 score of six to two. This defeat was blotted out by Park Ridge's brilliant comeback in their return game with Westwood, score eight to fifteen in our favor. The next game was held in Hasbrouck Heights,4Park Ridge losing twelve to four. Park Ridge also lost the return game by a score of nine to seven. Park Ridge likewise lost both games to Bogota by scores of eight to one and ten to six. Wie broke even with Closter losing a game by a score of four to one and winning by a score of seven to six. The last game was played with Dumont. Vile lost the first game by a score of seventeen to sixteen and won the return game by five to six. It can be said that our team was not very successful, losing seven games and winning three games. This was due to the inexperience of the majority of the players, this being the first year on the team. Park Ridge was the only team in the league not having a coach. The outlook for next year's team is very favorable, because only two of the players will be lost. Although this will weaken the team considerably, the gained experience of the other players will make up for it. LlNE-UP Strokirk, F. Travalto .......... ..... F irst Base Dusterdieck ,......... .,..

Therefore, when a game with the faculty was pro- posed, the girls were not slow in accepting. Here at last was the chance to get even for some of those D's.', As soon as the game was announced, the team knocked off practice in order to give the esteemed faculty a chance. The long-awaited moment arrived at last. The expectant crowd of rooters that collected in the Gym was treated to the most unearthly collection of noises, and the faculty marched out in war-paint. Faces were grotesquely painted and on the back of each middy was drawn a skull and crossbones. A few minutes of play convinced the onlooker that the last mentioned insignia was not meant to be taken in earnest. There was no more danger in the faculty aggregation than in a pet kitten-they had claws, but didn't know how to use them. The nerves of the spectators had scarcely become collected when some more noise announced the arrival of the High School players. Although at- tired in galoshes and unmatched sox they had no empty threats painted on their backs. After all of these preliminaries were over, the game began in earnest. At the opening whistle, the ball went Whizzing down to the High School basket, and the score-keeper marked a 2 after the name of Stewart. This same pro- cedure was followed for quite a while, the forwards taking turns at hooting in order to keep the game from becoming monotonous. The faculty guards at last obtained the ball, a hush fell over the crowd. For a time the passes of the faculty left guard, who also held the position of girls' coach, threatened to demolish the rear Gym wall but at last the range was found and the crowd again breathed easily. just before the half the faculty forwards completed their first try. This was a great surprise to the audience, but none the less of a shock to the team. One member fainted and the game was temporarily halted. At the half, the teams changed baskets, to comply with the rules, and to prevent the part of the floor which the High School forwards held during the first half from being worn down too much. The game as played in the second half was practically a repetition of the first half. The members of the faculty team were shifted from position to position, but the playing could not be improved. As the reader may have surmised, the faculty lost. The game itself was a perfect exhibition of basketball as it ain't on the part of the faculty. Had it been played in the earlier part of the season, it would have shown the High School players what mistakes they were to avoid. One benefit derived however, was that the players on next year's team will be all the wiser for it. The opinion of the writer fit seems to be a universal onej is that the faculty had better stick to teaching. Mr. S.: Well let's have some original ideas for the beginning of a prophecy. Marg.: Can pretend we fell asleep in auditorium. Mr. S.: That,s not original for you. 7-l HOOT S In Memoriam XVILLIAM NOONAN Under the sod lies noisy Bill, 'Cause he fell off the window sill.
