In it we have tried to record not only the noteworthy events of the year, but to express in a concrete form the splendid spirit of co-operation existing among the members of the Senior Class % % 8? MISS GERTRUDE BLOOMINGDALE Miss Gertrude Bloomingdale, firm friend and teacher, with sincere appreciation of her untiring and praiseworthy efforts in our behalf, do we dedicate this our last volume PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE FOUR years have passed swiftly by and we, who once entered our dear Alma Mater as students with little knowledge of the great school of life, now prepare to enter that greatest school in the universe—a school where no kind teacher lends a helping hand to those that stumble and fall by the wayside; a school where everyone is judged by that which he alone accomplishes. It is a school of countless hardships and trials that can only be overcome by persistent effort and struggle on the part of each individual. We look forward with eager eyes to the day when we may enter that school as bigger and better individuals with all our once hidden qualities.-then evident to those with whom we associate. . We have looked forward to the day when we receive our diplomas; we have prepared for that day and have had it as a goal. Now that day is at hand, and you expect great joy. Yet there is really a great sorrow in everyone’s heart, for leaving our Alma Mater is like being turned away from one’s home and friends. We go however with a firm purpose and a goal in mind. We will struggle all the more to be successful and reach our end. Is it not said. “A child’s actions reflect on its parents?” We will strive our utmost, bathed in the most illustrious reflections of our character and high ideals. We must always try to live up to the lesson we have learned while we were at Amboy High. “Service is the key that unlocks the treasure house of everything.” And although we leave our school in body our memories are always there. Albert Jochen, President of 1925. ----------o---------- G It’s great to be graduating. R you glad you’ve finished four long years? A good reason I'd like for your hesitating— D you mean to say you’re going to shed tears? U ought to be glad that you’ve finished problems, A lot of other work you’re rid of too. T think that we must leave this place forever, I feel rather downhearted and blue, O I said I'd not cry. I said that for weeks and weeks, N after all 1 tried. Did you say I’ve teardrops on my cheeks? ----------o--------------------- B. Jorgensen. SENIOR INTELLIGENCE TEST These are the answers given in a test asking students to define a few subjects found in our curriculum : English—A course that is distinguished in that all pupils must take it four years—more if you wish. Problems—A course inflicted on Seniors only. At times we wish we weren’t Seniors. Latin—A course instituted to revive our interest in Oratory. Chemistry—A course which aims to teach how to cultivate a more acute sense of smell. Algebra—New way of writing hieroglyphics. Geometry—A course which is preparatory to taking art lessons. This course teaches you how to draw lines and circles. Drawing—It is studied in a room where the walls are decorated with futurist and cubist pictures. Music—A course which cultivates our voice so that we may yell louder and more correctly down in the “Gym,” also when going through the halls. I. Wood.

Esteemed and loved by all who were privileged to know him, he has left us the memory of a friend whose place cannot be filled HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1925 FRESHMAN, Sophomore, Junior, Senior—the End. How hard it is to realize that these few words actually spell our whole High School career, that these very High School days are soon to he over, that it is but for a short while longer that we may lay claim to the imposing title of “Seniors.” On contemplating these facts it is natural that our thoughts should often revert to scenes long past, honors won, deeds accomplished, all happy reminders of our High School life. Impossible though it may seem, we were Freshmen once. Never were we more anxious to enter school than on that day in September when we first delved into the mysteries of High School life, never more anxious to remain quiet than at that moment when Mr. Kleinhans entered the auditorium to give us our schedules. At first, we confess, it was rather confusing, but in a few days we understood perfectly what was expected of us, and with this understanding we entered very enthusiastically into the various school activities. We boasted athletes, actors, musicians, and especially writers. Of the abilities of the latter we find ample proof in the two essay, contests conducted at this time. In the first, an essay on thrift, H. Kocsik won first prize, while R. Clevenger came out second. In the second, in Cleap-up Week, R. Spitzer won first prize, and again R. Clevenger received second honors. Examinations (quite an exciting event for us Freshmen) soon arrived and vacation followed. The two months seemed an eternity. We were eager to return—as Sophomores, determined to gain prominence for ourselves. M. Palo, E. Falkenstrom ,and H. Ford, who held positions on the girls’ and boys’ Varsity basketball teams, helped to secure some of the popularity we sought. B. Petersen and J. Deutch, talented musicians, whose violins charmed many audiences in Chapel, made the Sophomores stand out in another way. Our dance. Of course we held one—a very successful one indeed. Here again our prominence was asserting itself. A few months more and we had undergone a remarkable change—in name. We, who a little while ago had been green, trodden upon Freshmen, were now Juniors. Juniors! Why, the very first day Mr. Kleinhans warned us against the deadly results of the disease referred to as “swelled headedness.” He told us that the Seniors were the easiest victims of the germ, but that it was contagious; Juniors too were wont to catch it. Of course we would be careful—but, well, you know how it is—it does feel fine to be an upperclassman. Thinking over our Freshman and Sophomore years, we found that they had been very good ones. Why shouldn’t our Junior year be better? In this mood we organized, the first time in our three years at Amboy High. The results of the election were: President, J. Mandel; Vice-President. W. Brandwein ; Treasurer, A. Schwartz ; Secretary, R. Spitzer. Arrangements for a dance were made but because a few of us misunderstood the meaning of class spirit, the dance that was to be, was not. We soon awakened to our responsibilities as Juniors, however! We had made a resolution. We were going to keep it! We did! M. Palo and E. Falkenstrom again represented us on the girls’ basketball Varsity team, while J. Mandel joined H. Ford in the boys’. T. Fennessy held a prominent position on the baseball Varsity, and we were represented on the football team. Many of the Juniors held offices in the Athletic Council. Dramatic Club, Library Club and Debating Team. B. Jorgensen won the gold medal in the Declamation contest. And so another year passed. September found us, strange to say, not the least bit reluctant to return to school. But why should we be ? We were Seniors !!! Informed by previous Senior classes of the work confronting fourth year students, we started right in. First came class organization, with the result that A. Jochen became President of the Senior Class; J. Stack, Vice-President; L. Walker, Treasurer, and W. Hance, Secretary. R. Encherman later filled the vacancy left by W. Hance, who left school. At one of the first meetings of the class, Commencement Program and Class Ring Committees were appointed. Our rings were to arrive for Christmas. They failed to do so, and the class felt keen disappointment—they had waited so long. Consolation was offered in that the rings were bound to arrive after the Chrstmas holidays. Well, that was something to look forward to anyway. Certainly we were a lucky class! Unlike other Senior classes there was no doubt attached to our trip to Washington. It was no illusion ; it was to be a fact. With this in mind, the Seniors held their bazaar on December 5th. 1924. Again luck favored us, for despite the stormy night our bazaar was not one of the greatest successes, but the greatest success of any affair ever held by the High School students. We actually made nine hundred dollars, a sum far exceeding our goal. Not too many thanks can be given those of the faculty who so willingly gave their time and effort for the success of our bazaar. When the last half rolled round introducing Problems, and Mr. Bartlett informed us that one notebook would be the requirement and not three, we couldn’t but congratulate ourselves in our luck. But—when we were told of special topics and how the notebooks must be prepared—well, we knew there was a catch somewhere. Arrangements for our Washington trip have already been made and the .30th of April is being anxiously awaited. From the enthusiasm shown it surely is going to be an ideal trip. The cast of “Seventeen,” the play to be presented by the Dramatic Club this year, has been chosen and rehearsals are under way. The Seniors are expecting a rip-roaring success. Graduation yet remains. After that we cannot tell. Yet, we are confident that our experiences in P. A. H. S. have equipped us perfectly for the future, that what we have learned is far more valuable than gold. Now that the time has arrived, we hate to leave, but, oh, well! All’s well that ends well. Rose Spitzer. WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1925 'E. the Class of 1925, of the Perth Amboy High School, being of sound mind, at least to all outward appearances, although it seems almost a miracle after we have taken Problems, being ready for Mr. Ramsey to show us the door with a patient, relieved smile, do hereby request the following charges to be carried out. To the faculty we bequeath those little deadly daily record books wherein they placed our marks as a fond(?) remembrance, all the pet names with which we honored them, all traces of our stay in P. A. H. S., and also their seats in Chapel, while we must forfeit ours. To Mr. Ramsey, we bequeath the pleasure of holding the prominent place in Chapel; also the joy of having to rearrange the schedule to suit the students. To him we also leave the memories of our pacemaking and exemplary class, the first to graduate under his principalship. To Miss McCormick we bequeath the memories of arguments we had over graduation points. To Miss Bloomingdale we bequeath the right to smile for other Seniors as she has for us. To Miss McCormick and to Miss Bloomingdale we give that friendly hostility in campaigns. We hope they have classes worthy of the battle. To Mr. Bartlett we bequeath the right to demand a topic which it is impossible to get; also the pleasure of writing five pages of History, with an increase of ten if talking continues. To him also our knowledge that the Real Business of Living lies not only in “Tufts,” but in a pair of scissors and a tube of paste. To Miss Stauffer we bequeath the memory of future actors and actresses whom she has helped to discover, and the right to teach the Golden Rule of Good English. We bequeath to Mrs. Canning the privilege of instructing Freshmen, and of calling them “dear” and “children” (which they are, but are unwilling to admit). To Mr. Chalmers we bequeath a few new Chem texts from which to assign twelve pages, and also the wagon for which we have been waiting. To Miss Oliver the sole right to put anyone out of the Library. We leave her also the empty shelves which are gradually being filled ; a copy of this will, so that the Freshmen may copy our style in their “Will. We give to Miss Jacobsen the problem of discovering which is her best class. To the Athletic Instructors we give the right to agitate for better athletic facilities. To the Juniors we bequeath the right to sample some Senior work on condition that they take and complete their course without a grumble; the right to reign supreme in P. A. H. S. (but don’t overdo it, as it might prove fatal) ; also the dignified position of Senior, but we must also leave them Problems. To the Sophomores, our sister class, we leave a hearty wish that they may be as successful in all they undertake as we have been. To the Freshmen, we bequeath the gym, in which they can receive a good many well-remembered bumps. To those who were in our class in September, 1921, but who have-fallen back, we bequeath another year or two of pleasures, and the privilege of showing the Juniors how to be Seniors. Individually we bequeath the following: I, Regina Larson, bequeath my school spirit to Evelyn Lease. I, Margaret Fraser, bequeath my attractiveness to Eloise Larson. I, illiam Haas, bequeath my shyness to Edward Herbert. I, Ruth Shoe, bequeath my “Reducing Records” to anyone who needs them. 1. Edna Widerstrom, bequeath by conquests to Gladys Hulsizer. 1, Helen Ward, bequeath my ability to study to Alton O’Brien. I, Virginia Hoy, bequeath my athletic ability to Inez Rossi. I, Elliot V ilson, bequeath my good looks to Stanley Zellers. I. Pom Fennessy, bequeath my athletic ability to Richard Connelly. I, Abe Goron. bequeath my fondness for bluffing to Gerson Isenberg. Po the School we bequeath our class picture to be hung in the “Hall of Fame” in P. A. H. S. To all. a word of warning regarding hard study and watchfulness of points, so that as Seniors they will not have so much to worry them ; our teachers. May you have as good ones as we had. Lastly, we bequeath everything else we have not mentioned above to whatever heir may wish to claim them. If there be too many to decide upon, let first come be first served. We now rest content, knowing that our executors will carry out these bequests, and that you will not blame us for our tew(?) faults. Should any heir herein mentioned object to the bequests, he shall be summoned to appear before the Board of Education and the Class of 1925 to present his complaints. We hereby appoint as executors of this article any Seniors who lingered on the beloved threshold instead of passing with us. We sign ourselves for the last time as a body, The Class of 1925. ----------o----------- A Poem in Imitation of the First Ten Lines of L’Allegro Hence, happy Hours Of Time and Tide born, In waking with the Sun at early morn, 'Mongst this world of love and flowers.

Up, up, going up and down again ; Hotel, museums, Capitol, and White House. Steps, steps, going up and down again; There’s no end to the steps. We slip, we slide, up again and down again ; The steps are still before us. Oh ! Oh ! The steps are still before us ; Steps, steps, will we never see the end of them ? Sing to the tune of Old McDonald Had a Farm Here check, there check, everywhere check, check. (Repeat until tired.) The system is Great. Nevertheless the trip was one to be cherished and remembered by us all. “OCR'S was a Hue trip, OCR’S was.” Some things overheard: “When do we eat?” “Where do we go next?” “Our’s is a fine house, Our’s is.” “Only five hundred more steps to go.” “What, are you trying to cheer me up?” “Great place to reduce, Washington.” Chaperon—“John, 1 wouldn’t slide down the banister.” Tough John—“Wouldn’t! Ya mean ya couldn’t.” Overheard on the train going to Washington : John—“Oh. it’s a surprise to see you on this train. Joe—“Yeh, I missed the good one.” John—“Don’t you like the service of this railway?” Joe—“I don’t know, I haven’t had any yet. John—“What? These waiters and porters are all crack ones.’ Joe—“Yeh; well. I’d like to take a crack at them all right.” John—“How do you like the table in the dining car ? ’ Joe—“The table’s all right; it’s what they put on it that 1 find fault with. John—“You’re cuckoo; they keep wonderful food on this train. Joe—“Maybe they do, but they certainly don’t sell it. Overheard coming back : Waiter (shouting)—“Dining car in the rear. D. C. in rear. D.

Freeda Petersen. 1 12 A We were born in the High School of Perth Amboy in the year 192.. February, and being somewhat like the rest of the classes we started off wit a show on entering. We let the other classes know that although we camei; with a snow storm, while they came in with a storm of leaves, we could gj through the same antics despite the incident of the weather. As the young chick on first entering the chicken yard, we kept to out selves, for we were a bit shy. With familiarity our boldness grew, and gradually made our influence felt. At first we did nothing but buy tickets an: subscribe to this and that, but things changed as time went on, and soon wt: were selling tickets to the Freshmen for our own benefit. Through the ensuing years we were represented in athletics by V, Reszn: chak (we must give her credit) and Mary Demko; on the Honor Roll by ii Williamson, D. Omanson, Sophie Gaynor, and F. Haynig. Let the stars of tbl class shine in The Periscope, that’s their due. There’s Mike Sattilaro, who is as good a boy as can be found, and Eddij Everson, Mike’s pal, and a regular football player. William Katz, who wai one of our group at a former time, is a regular on the football and basketball teams. Joseph Nuttle is as willing a walking dictionary as can be found, anl M. Doctofsky is always ready to talk Problems. Grace Toft is as spry as:1 mouse when it comes to rising out of one’s seat, and E. Harris is a real French- Pronouncing Dictionary—ask her. These are a few of those who at in our class, and they seem to show the spirit behind us all. Our Senior year was attended with good luck for nearly the full quota who entered. Within the last few weeks about fifteen of our number went t| Washington with the regular Seniors and all came back well satisfied. There is only one more half year to go in this High School, so let ii make the best of it, ye mid-year Seniors. .-----------0—:------ John—“So you think it would be foolish for me to marry a girl who: my mental inferior?” Arthur—“No, impossible.” “What is the best way to kill time in the winter?” “Sleigh it.” Guide (to student Body)—“It is very easy to find your way about Was: ington---if----you live here about twenty years and have a good memory. j ____________________________________________________________________ Dear schoolmates, again I’ll tell to you Of the class that came in twenty-two. As Freshmen we bore a pupil’s proper load And tried to follow closely the narrow road. Hut as our greenness faded away Our Sophomore year before us lay. Long ’neath P. A. H. S. walls will be The memory of the year 1923. For our girls won their greatest fame By winning in each volley and basketball game. Though our boys lost, they had no fear But that they would win the following year. And all the halls still with echoes ring Of our great Sophomore dance in Spring. Then when Juniors we became, More feats were added to our fame, For both our boys and girls last fall Won the championships in basketball. Then also I am sure you’ve seen Them every year on each Varsity team. We have others more studious and dramatic too, Who hold up our standard true. Next we elected our president, And after this big event We chose our colors, the green, the white, For which each Junior must fight with might. Now three great years have flown before each eye. Yet hold up our colors high. And keep in your work and cheer For our last big run—our Senior Year. Inez Brown, ’26. ----------o---------- Can You Answer These? What makes the Seniors such a remarkable class? Where Mr. Bartlett gets his jokes? What makes the public library such a convenient “rendezvous” for Seniors ? What makes Ethel Wilson blush? Why C. McLeod hurries out after school? What makes A. Kutcher such a good sport? What do H. Ward and A1 Jochen find to talk about? What makes R. Shoe so good-natured? Who sends B. Levin such interesting notes? Why G. Blum is so loud in Ahrgil class? Why did the teachers invent “twelve pages?” Why Rose Spitzer says she never studies? 11 A OUR CROSSWORD PUZZLE Our Crossword Puzzle deals with Life, With outward struggles and inward strife. “(glAY, this is some puzzle! I’ve never seen one like it!” exclaimed Ann as e2) she looked at the curious block around which we were huddled. A puzzle about our school life. “Well, we can try anyway, let’s start with this corner.” “What do the 11 A’s shine in?” said Helen. “Why, studies, of course. Remember, how Mr. Kleinhans especially mentioned the large honor roll for our class when we were Freshmen? And we’ve stuck pretty well, too. Yes, we surely do shine in our studies.” “Now, here’s something interesting,” exclaimed Mary. “Five boys who carried along 11 A’s sports banner. Let’s see, now, we came in first as Freshmen and second as Sophomores. Pretty good, isn’t it? And we'll come in first again, just wait and see. The boys of course are D. Fimiani, I. Meistrich. J. Tanko, V. Palo, J. Salaky, and Frank Delisi.” “There, that’s fine,” said Ann. “Now let’s see this corner. What clubs, if any, did the 11 A’s join? The idea, ‘if any!’ Of course we have members on every club for which we are eligible. Next yrear we’ll be eligible for any club and then watch us go !” “Gee! What’s this? ‘In what great social affair did the 11 A’s play a big part?’ Why the Triangle Club’s dashing young hero, and Hazel Dalton, our side-bursting comedienne. Sure, that play was a triumph for the 11 A’s.” “Of course the class motto is perseverance, yes, twelve letter word, and we mean every syllable of it. We’ll all keep to that honor roll, go over the top in our sports, climb to all the clubs; we’ll boost our class and cheer our school and finish our crossword puzzle of life at Perth Amboy High.” Our puzzle is not completed; we’ve the center yet to do. But we’ll tell you all about it, when we’re all through. Leak R. Cohen, ’27 A -----------o--------- F-. Seaman (to waiter)—“Say, what kind of soup is this?” Waiter—“Vegetable soup.” Seaman—“Well, 1 just found a piece of chicken in t.” Convery—“That’s all right, Eddie ; there’s no reward for that.” THE CLASS OF 1927 KX September of 1923, we were driven up the TTig'll School steps .is a herd of cattle (we were really, as you see. Freshmen). In the modern sense of the word we were “in a fog’’ for a few weeks, but it wore off and we became quite brave, running from one corridor to another in search of our classrooms. We were treated as all Freshmen classes, but took it all with a grain of salt. Dorothy Hall and Andrew Tilton represented us on The Periscope staff, and with their help we turned out enough material to show the upper classmen we were here to be noticed and not to be treated with contempt. Evelvn Crowell was the only girl in our Freshmen and Sophomore classes who made the Varsity Basketball team. As Sophomores we were much bolder and ran around the halls as though we practically owned them—that is, we acted that way in front of the new Freshmen, but when an upperclassman showed himself we shrank away in shame. We were not so afraid of our upperclassmen as when we were Freshmen, and we went out to all the athletic and other contests and cheered to our hearts’ content. There were many more Sophomores this year than Freshmen last year who tried for the Dramatic Club and were admitted. The Honor Roll is another thing of note. Every month when Mr. Ramsey reads the honor roll the Sophomore class always makes a fine showing. Surely the events of our first two years will show that we’ll grow to be an important link in Perth Amboy High’s chain of life. Katherine Hall. ----------o---------- DIDJAEVERS Didjaever see Catherine McLeod without Charlie My Boy? Didjaever see Alice Sweeney agreeable? Didjaever see Emma Seeman not giggling? Didjaever see Ida Stolz not excited ? Didjaever see Blanche Jorgensen without a smile? • ----------o---------- After-Tastes of Chapel Speeches Along the dim way of High School vague half-formed sentences, aftertastes of former speeches linger in my mind A hazy memory of the dramatization of Dicken’s Christmas story leaves a pretty thought. On top of that I hear the whizzing of the cannon, the hiss of the shell and the pop-pop of the gun. 1 also recall that the man who made all these queer sounds was a stout man and I think his name was Captain Smith. He certainly was fine. 1 hen a thundering voice says: “What you are to be you are becoming today. W ho, what, when, 1 know not. but it seems to me I’ll never forget it. Of course one can’t forget the wonderful talks of English schools. 1 he whole school seemed to radiate intent and enjoyment in hearing this speech. And last, but not least, the more recent delightful speech of Miss Strout. V ho could ever iorget her ; If sincerity made Burns a true poet, sincerity makes her a true orator. 1 here-fore, after-tastes are the only things that I have, but most of the students I think will agree that they are the cream of the many speeches we ha e heard. Mildred Wurtzel, ’25. 10 A LAST September we, as Freshmen B’s, started on a long year of study and work. We set out to show the upper classmen and faculty what good we had in us. In anything, for which we were eligible, the school always saw the Freshmen in an active part. Early in October, a few tried out for the girls volley hall team. 'I wo or three boys tried out for the football team, but were found to he ineligible because of lack of weight. The second call for candidates for the football team brought forth a few-eager freshmen, some of whom show promise on the gridiron. At first the Freshies did not come out to the games in large numbers, but those who did, surely outdid the Seniors in yelling. That’s one distinction. Miss Sprague picked a good volley ball team to represent our class. Miss Alma Pucci was the captain. The orchestra contained quite a number of Freshmen, namely, Solomon Katz, Emil Novae, Bill Papp. Walt Safran, Aaron Pargot and Dick Hadden. Then came basketball, following the Christmas vacation. Although losing every game we participated in. our boys’ team made a notable showing. Outclassed in experience and height, the team made their opponents fight for every scoie made. In quickness on the floor they practically outclassed every opposing team. Our fine showing was due largely to the able coaching of Mr. 1 apley, who had charge of us during the series. I lie team consisted of L. MacWilliam, Captain; B. Thomas, C. Ullman, B. Goron, J. Harris, H. Plain, G. Augustine, I. Kline. L. Kaplowitz, M. Bodine. Malonson, Bonasky, and Krushensky. I he girls had a good team, but if their center had been stronger, they would have made a much better showing. Our showing on the Honor Roll has been surprisingly large. F'or September we had thirteen on the much envied list; more than any other class. For November we had twenty-five, an astonishingly high mark. After all these “big doings’ we emerged into the higher life of Sophomores, on the first of February. Our outlook at first was not so promising, as to the grades. Very few achieved the great feat of being on the Honor Roll in February. Then came the baseball season, and some Sophomore boys went out to help the Varsity. As to the results of the games, you already should be well informed. And so, including many other accomplishments, we consider that our class has had a fine and wonderful year, with as much to our credit as any other class. THE CLASS OF ’28 THE Class of Twenty-eight which entered the High School last September has made a wonderful record within a remarkably short time. Participating in every event, as basketball, volley ball, track, ticket selling, etc., and though we did not come on top. we made a good showing. It has become a custom for the Freshmen to go to all games, debates and concerts, and the Freshmen were always found in large numbers at these events. Freshmen made good in studies too. while others were making a reputation in athletics and what not. Here is our record. Freshman Honor Roll I Knudsen, A. Deak. J. Sarkus. G. Oleson. S. Borak, A.

Have you ever heard of any students being present during his four years of High School without being absent or tardy ? Have you ever heard of better school spirit than that exhibited in Chapel during the years 1924-1925? Have you ever heard of a better musical instrument than Mr. Mac-Michael ? Have you ever heard of a more spirited football team than that of 1925? Have you ever seen a better girls’ basketball team ' Have you ever seen a Freshman wise-cracking to a Senior? Have you ever seen anyone chewing gum in class or found some under your desk and got it over your pants? Have you ever seen a student pulled out of line for pushing or shoving?

Palo. ■ 9 A THE FRESHMEN E, the Freshmen Class of the mid-year, entered High School like strangers in a new land. Everything was different from what we were used to. There were many things that puzzled us. One of these was the arrangement of the corridors. At first we got all mixed up and didn’t understand the traffic rules. Now that we have learned, it doesn’t seem hard after all. Another thing was the clocks. We were always watching them and waiting for the hell. Then when they did ring we became excited and didn’t know what to do. These things, in addition to our other troubles, could not dampen our desire to succeed. We are very much pleased with High School and hope we shall he a credit to it. Veronica Smith. How Strange It Would Be If John Melkovitch would not blush while speaking to a girl. Edward Ellis would not speak to the opposite sex. Joe Gasper stopped joking. Benjamin Kantor tried to reduce. G. Richter did not giggle. All Seniors took a great pleasure in studying Problems. -Mr. Bartlett omitted his five-page gifts. Regina Larson was quiet for five minutes. Virginia Adams was without a boy friend. Joe Mandel was not talking to a girl. Abe Goron stopped bluffing for a day. Ruth Shoe was not laughing. Von Roseboro was not prepared. Gladys Blum was not pestering somebody. Isabell Wood should cause a disturbance. George Doneson could be understood. -----------o---------- We’ve Tried So Hard “To graduate.” “To do our best.” “To pass in Problems.” “To convince the faculty of our cleverness.” “To understand and carry out those rules of P.

Very early in the year we began our work by organizing and electing the following officers: Harry Ruderman, President; David Stepacoff, Vice-President ; George Doneson, Treasurer; Bessie Bernstein, Secretary. During the year debates were held. Parliamentary Law was studied and discussed, and the members were given a thorough grounding in the art of debating. Unusual interest in the club was shown by the number who appeared at the tryouts for the Rutgers debates. Those who were successful and therefore became members of the debating team are Sophie Gaynor, Von Rose-boro, Isadore Spevack, and Edward Herbert. The debate was on the Child Labor question, On March 27. New Brunswick sent its team here and an interesting debate ensued. Our team was adjudged the winner by a unanimous decision. We next debated with the winning team of the Battin-Rahway debate, namely Rahway. This debate was held at Rahway, where we were victorious, this time by a 2-1 decision. Our success is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Bartlett, our adviser, and those of us who do not return again to participate in the activities of the club desire to leave our best wishes to our adviser and to the club. -----------o---------- Recipe 1 Grammar School Graduate.

If You Don’t Like our High School Like our Senior Class Like our Faculty Like our town Why don’t you? .1 UNION AND SKNIOR DuAMATIC Cl.lHS Cast of “Seventeen DRAMATIC CLUB AS we sat waiting for the curain to rise on the “Review of Dramatics of 1925,” we wondered just what it would be like. The program told us little, so we waited anxiously for the opening of the curtain. At last the lights faded and the “Review” began. The first act was a group of recitations and monologues given by the Misses Inez Brown, Eleanor Lucey, Virginia Adams, and Anna Kutcher. The second act was a short sketch entitled “Oft in the Stilly Night,” given by Anna Kutcher and John Papp. The next act was a scene from Shakespeare, presented by D. Nelson and M. Fraser. The fourth act was a playlet, “Six Cups of Chocolate,” pleasingly given by H. Ward, R. Shoe, E. Larson, R. Encherman, M. Hedworth and E. Wilson. And—most important was the play “Seventeen,” given by Mrs. Baxter.....................................Dorothy Nelson Mr. Baxter......................................William Rhodes William Sylvanus Baxter...................Aaron Mintz Johnnie Watson.......................Robert MacW illiam Jane Baxter...............................Regina Larson May Parcher...............................Anna Kutcher Lola Pratt.........................................Edna Widerstrom Genesis...................................Arthur Zucker Joe Bullitt......................................Edward Seaman Mr. Parcher......................................Robert Hutton George Cooper.......................................Abe Schwartz Ethel Boke.........................................Ruth Shoe Wallie Banks.......................................John Papp Mary Banks.............................Ruth Encherman A scene from “The Merchant of Venice” was next enacted by E. Seaman and H. Harris. And lastly, a one-act comedy, “Mali Jong,” was presented by E. Mathiasen, R. Larson, B. Jorgensen and C. McLeod. At the fall of the curtain some one asked for the director who came out on the stage, and who was it but our Miss Stauffer, to whom we owe the success of the “Review.” -o- “You haven’t changed much.” “No, the laundries are on a strike. : i'i:� fc v i i THE TRIANGLE CLUB THE fortune teller’s hands were dirty, the inside of the tent was even more so. We shivered slightly and asked ourselves why we had ever consented to enter a gypsy fortune teller’s tent. Now that we were really there we didn’t believe the crystal hall which shone so brightly in the flittering lamp light could tell the past. Our speculations were cut short by the re-entrance of the fortune teller herself. Swarthy, with great black eyes, and aIlv bracelets and necklaces, she was a typical gypsy. She seated herself at the little table and gazed fixedly at the tiny hall of silver. “1 see a small band of girls,” she spoke with drawling Southern accent, “thev are meeting in a small room in a building, the Y. M. C. A. They are all verv much interested in something they are discussing. “Now 1 see a stage and these same girls are acting. It is their first dramatic production. The audience seems to he enjoying it. “The scene shifts to the next year. Here and there is an even larger mmp of girls—one, two, three—there are thirty-five present. The play shifts to a city street. Girls with red crosses on their sleeves are soliciting money. Yes. they are Triangle girls helping in the Red Cross Tag Day. “Next I see baskets filled with Thanksgiving and with Christmas cheer. 'ow I see the happy faces of two poor families. These girls have caught the true Christmas spirit. “It is the autumn of the next year. Here I see a group of smiling girls so large it can hardly be accommodated in the Board Room. Here are fifty-five girls all laughing and chattering at once. “Now a figure rises; it is Miss Pfeiffer. She addresses the assembly and another takes her place. Yes, it is Miss Petersen, the Faculty Adviser. “Again I see the happy faces of poor families and again the corners are filled with eager girls aiding in various tag days. “What is this? I see a Christmas tree and grouped about it are girls. They are exchanging presents. I he lights are dim. ho rises? None other than Miss Stauffer telling a Christmas story in her own delightful way. “Again I see the “Y.” The girls are giving a tea. They are playing games and seem to be having a delightful time. “Why are all the girls dressed with bibs? These are just middies turned around and the other dresses are backwards too. In comes the entree ice cream, then the dessert, meat and potatoes. Much merriment is caused by the unique Parisian styles displayed in these stunning creations. “Here is another stage, but this time it is that of the High School Auditorium. There are three plays being performed before a delighted audience s eyes. “I see, now I see, not Miss Bloomingdale. Yes, it is she, and Miss McCormick. Mrs. Fanning—in fact, all the teachers. 1 he 1 riangle gills aie giving a supper in honor of the faculty women. “Do I hear music? Yes, it is the Triangle dance. Happy girls and boys are whistling to the strains of “Ob. Katrina. him is supreme. “Here are the Seniors at their Farewell Supper. Each seems loath to leave this happy fellowship. “The scene is fading. 1 can no longer discern their fortunes. I he past is over and the ball is powerless to portray the future. “Now I see a last glimmering trace. There are words, i hey are fading. Spirit—Mind—Body—the three points of the Blue Triangle.” With a sigh the gypsy raised her brilliant eyres from the magical ball. Its mission was fulfilled. It had told what we had asked. Helen Ward. THE LIBRARY CLUB IX a corner of our school library is a book which has been tucked away on one of the shelves. Jt is of recent publication and is very popular in the Hi di School. The name of this book is The History of the Library Club. 1923-25. The book contains many important facts about the club, the most important of which follow: “The club was organized in 1923 by a group of Senior girls whose main purpose was to render a service to all the High School students, with Miss Oliver as the adviser. Under her tutelage the club began at once to prosper. “At the beginning of the school year in 1924, another group of girls endeavored to carry on the work of the former members. The officers of this vear were: President, Irene Beatty; Vice-President, Doris Hedworth; Sectary. Ethel Wilson; Treasurer, Blanche Jorgensen; Parliamentarian. Elizabeth Solt; Literary Editor, Blanche Jorgensen. “Our first activity was our initiation. I am sure no one will ever forget that meeting, for the stunts were clever and unique, as well as entertaining. “We have had exceptionally good programs and have given each member an opportunity to show her ability. Once we were very fortunate in securing Miss Crowell, the head librarian of the Public Library, who spoke to us. Miss Crowell brought us a splendid message and told us some facts about library work which were very helpful to us. “Miss Stauffer also gave us one of her afternoons and read to us from “Cyrano de Bergerac.” Very few of the girls had read the play, so the program came as a surprise to us. “Have you seen our pins? If you have I’m sure you like them. The Pin Committee, of which Isabelle Wood was chairman, showed excellent judgment in selecting the pin for us, and every member seemed to be pleased. “So fellow students, you can see that we have done our share to carry on the work of the club. Now it is up to you, undergraduates, to do your best.” __________0__________________________ Ruth Shoe. SENIOR ART CLUB Although the Senior Art Club has only been in existence for one year, it is already one of the most prominent clubs of the school. We really' owe this to our adviser. Miss Fritts. At the first meeting of the club, we elected the following: President, Ruth Shoe; Vice-President, Irene Beatty; Secretary, Eleanor Mathiasen; Treasurer, Ethel Wilson. At our regular meetings held twice a month each member took some part in the program. Sketches were given from the lives of old masters and their most famous paintings were displayed. At another meeting the present day-artists were discussed and examples of their work were shown. Because of these programs our members who went to Washington knew more about the pictures they saw and about the artists who painted them. A social event of the Art Club was the St. Patrick’s Day social. Each member was permitted to bring a guest and all the women of the faculty were invited. I’m sure that this party will be remembered by all who were there. On the first Saturday in June the club will go to an art exhibit at Pratt Institute. High School girls outside of the club are invited to go with us. We expect to see an exhibition somewhat similar to the one we might have of work that we ourselves do in Drawing Class, but on a much higher scale. About a week afterward the club will take a sketching trip to some part of Staten Island. Eleanor Mathiasen. Spanish Club French Club EL CIRCULO ESPANOL URING the early part of the year, El Circulo Espanol became a member 0 of the large family of clubs in P. A. H. S. The existence of the club has been comparatively short, but it has accomplished a great deal in stimulating an active interest in the Spanish language and the various parts of the oriel in which it is spoken. In order to create a Spanish atmosphere the major parts of the meetings of the club have been conducted in Spanish. At everv meeting programs consisting of plays, poems, dialogues, and readings in Spanish were presented. Much credit for the success of the club is due to |a Senora Jacobsen, the adviser, who has devoted a great deal of time in pre-rino- its programs. We hope that El Circulo Espanol viva en Perth Amboy Hi rh School todo el tieinpo. Hasta luego y bien suerte. Wm. Brandwein. ----------o---------- LA SCCIETE FRANCAISE Un jour in late September Quand les leaves were falling vite. La classe it got together Et formed a club petite.

Hi-Y Club SCIENCE CLUB HEN David Stepacoff was elected president of the Science Club lie called on the members to support the club and its officers and so insure its success. As the year is now completed the members feel it has |)een a success in many ways. The membership for the year 1924-1925 was the largest ever attained in the annals of the Science Club. The publicity committee in charge of John Nearer, and the program committee in charge of Harry Ruderman and Harry Goldberg, did very good work throughout the year. The officers for the year were as follows: David Stepacoff, President; Lester Walker, Vice-President; Eloise Larson, Secretary; Theodore Blitzer, Treasurer; George Doneson, Parliamentarian; Ralph Preston, Sergeant-at- Arnis. During the year the program consisted of many interesting lectures which were: Radio, by Mr. Wisner, faculty adviser; Science and Man, by Mr. Glen worth Sturgis; Hawaii, by Mr. Paul Steele; Glacier National Park, liv Harrv Goldberg; Refining of Copper, by Mr. Showronski; Rubber Tires, by Mr. Wisner. The club also visited the office of Dr. Klein at which place they were told the history and application of the X-Ray. The Science Club was instrumental in having the World Series broadcasted in school through the courtesy of Mr. Wisner. We leave you with the sincere thought and hope that the future years of the Science Club will be as successful as the past one. -----------o------------ HI-Y Clean Speech Clean Living Clean Sport Clean Scholarship MEAR the end of the Hi-Y Club’s successful year we look back to see what has been accomplished. At the beginning of the school year we appointed Albert Jochen, President; Alton Roth, Vice-President; John Stack, Secretary; Louis Wain-wright, Treasurer. We obtained as advisers L. J. Bartlett, Glemvorth Sturgis,( Fenby W. Scott, and Fred Burbank, Alumni Adviser. We started the ball rolling with a discussion by our Business Adviser, Glemvorth Sturgis. At our first regular monthly supper our Principal, . W. Ramsey, gave us a talk on “Our High School.’ Each month we had a night set aside for some activity. I he first month we had a “Freshmen Night.” At this meeting every member of the club brought a Freshman. Each month through the year we had our discussion led by our advisers, L. J. Bartlett and Glenworth Sturgis. At our supper we had short talks given to us by men such as C. R. Scott. Rev. L. V. Buschmann, V. V. Roseboro, and Minous Cannon. All these talks were interesting and very educational. Our activity nights were the best of all. Freshmen Night, Life Work Night, Box Supper Social, and Hobby Nights, were the chief ones. Hobby Night was one of the best things we had on our yearly program cards. On this night Elwood Johnson spoke on Volley Ball; and Gilbert Peakes on Stamps. We also had a stereopticon slide lecture by Dr. F. Abegg; also a chemical demonstration by James Chalmers, of the Science Department of the High School. The Hi-Y Club this year, as in other years, has served its purpose, which is, “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” Glee Club Orchestra J Football Soon after the opening of school Coach Stauffer issued a call for football candidates, which was answered by fifty men, including Captain T. Fennessy, David Stepacoff. H. Bohnsack, Wm. Katz, S. Spivak, J. Mandel, I. Breslow, S. and J. Salacki, Obeski, and Knudsen, veterans of last year’s squad. After manv practice sessions the varsity team was picked. Our season opened against Atlantic Highlands on the down state field, where we suffered a setback by the score of 7-0. Keyes, a colored boy from the Highlands, succeeded in catching a forward pass in the final minutes of play, and crossed the line for a touchdown. The attempt to kick the goal was successful, in the next tilt our boys were again beaten by the score of 7-0, the victors being the Lakewood High boys. Our boys gave Lakewood a fight and succeeded in getting the ball to Lakewood’s twenty-yard line when one of our men fumbled. The fumbled ball was picked up by one of Lakewood’s men who crossed the line for a touchdown. For the remainder of the game our boys held their own and often threatened Lakewood, but were unable to score. On October 17 the strong South River team, led by their star fullback, S. Sakalowski, came to Amboy and handed our boys a 34-0 setback. Sakalow-ski, who broke through our line time after time, was the main reason for our defeat. We journeyed to Metuchen on October 24 and were again oeaten, this time by the score of 24-0. In this tussle our team was without the services of three regular line men, S. Spivack, J. Mandel. and Wm. Brandwein. who were out on the injured list. During the game H. Bohnsack was also removed on account of an injury received. On October 31 all roads led to the Perth Amboy Rod and Gun Club lot where the Crimson and White boys expected to take the measure of the Rahway team. With revenge in their blood for the defeats suffered by their representatives in the past two seasons, the Amboy boys went into the battle but could not defeat Rahway. The final score was 18-0. Then our boys traveled to Woodbridge where they were defeated by the Woodbridge High School boys by the score of 2-0. 1 his was an unexpected setback and a game which Amboy hated to lose. In the first quarter H. Bohnsack covered the ball for sixty yards, bringing the ball to the 10-yard line. A kick was tried but was blocked, the ball rolling over the goal line resulting ip a safety for Woodbridge, which gave them the game by a 2-0 score. The game was called on account of darkness. In the final game of the season our boys traveled to Asbury Park where they encountered the strong Asbury High school warriors. 1 he final score was 38-0. Amboy showed up exceptionally well in this game, as Asbury Park was the leading contender for the State title. In the first quarter Asbury took Amboy by storm and scored 28 points. In the second quarter tnev crossed for one touchdown and a free kick, while our boys held them to six points in the third and fourth quarters. The following men earned the varsity football letters: Captain Fennessy, Stepacoff. MacWilliam, Brandwein, Spivack, Daitz. S. and J. Salacki. Breslow, Katz, Convery, Reager, Connelly, and Bohnsack. OOTBALI. Varsity Club Interclass Basketball After the close of tlie football season Coach Stauffer issued a call for interclass basketball men. Eac.h class was given to a separate coach, Mr. Stauffer taking the Seniors, Mr. Tapley the Freshmen, Mr. Wisner the Sophomores, and Captain Connelly the Juniors. The latter succeeded in winning the annual series. During the series Coach Stauffer found many promising stars for the Varsity team. owing is the record: P. W. L. Juniors 3 3 0 Sophomores 3 2 1 Seniors 3 1 2 Freshmen 3 0 3 Varsity Basketball Our representative basketball team turned in a better record than did our football team, the basketball team winning eight out of sixteen games played.’ In the opening games the coach used the veterans of last year's squad including Connelly, Torrel, Mandel. Hutton and Roth. In the final games the coach found a suitable center in Pucci to fill the vacancy left by Evans, last year’s center. Pucci was a great help in winning all games this year, and next year should be the mainstay of the team. This year’s team, although not as successful as last year’s, or the team of 1923, held its own with the other schools of Middlesex County. The boys opened the court season by defeating Keyport on the local court. Our boys completely outclassed Keyport. This game gave Coach Stauffer a chance to use eleven men. I he final score was 31-16, the home team outscoring the visitors 11-4 irorn the field. Torrel and Roth started at forwards, Hutton at center, and Mandel and Connelly as guards. 1 he following is the schedule and Amboy.......................... 31 Amboy.......................... 21 Amboy ......................... 19 Amboy.......................... 25 Amboy.......................... 21 Amboy.......................... 18 Amboy.......................... 25 final scores of games played: Keyport ....................... 16 North Plainfield............... 25 Lakewood ...................... 33 Curtis ......................... 37 Metuchen ....................... 4 North Plainfield ............... 13 South Amboy .................... 26 Baseball Amboy......................... 13 Amboy......................... 20 Amboy........................ 23 Amboy......................... 12 Amboy......................... 29 Amboy......................... 35 Curtis ....................... 11 Chattle ....................... 17 Metuchen ...................... 31 Morristown .................... 30 Chattle ....................... 19 Key port ..................... 18 Baseball With the baseball season well under way and four victories tucked away our boys are leading the Middlesex County Baseball League.

The winner of the league will be presented with a banner, and gold baseballs will be given each individual member of the winning team.

Tennis Tennis has been added to the list of major sports in Perth Amboy High School. To date, our tennis team has participated in a match with the faculty team, the varsity boys winning two out of three matches. Isadore Breslow, manager of the team, has games arranged with Woodridge, North Plainfield and other Middlesex County Schools. All home .rallies and practice sessions are held at the Wisteria Lane courts through the courtesy of the Live Wire Club and Physical Director Pew of the Y. M. H. A. —o— GIRLS’ ATHLETICS L the Seniors seemed-so full of vim this year that the first thing we did was win the interclass volley ball series. The Seniors were very proud of this, but the Juniors brought them from off their “high horse,” when they took the first place in the interclass basketball games. Those who received the class numerals are Eloise Larson, G. O’Hara, C. Spivack, 1. Brown. M.Demko, R. Baum, S. Miller, D. Spawn. The first game played by the Varsity basketball team was on December 16. when we won from Metuchen. Inez Rossi made twelve points in this game. On January 13 the team went to South River where we were victorious a second time. Pretty good start, don't you think so? The bright lights of this game were V. Reznichak and V. Hoy. On February 17 we played the return game with South River and won again. Our team showed us that it not only knew how to play on a three-division court, but also on a two-division court, when we played Woodbridge on January 6, and defeated them. In this game M. Pavlovsky showed that a jump center can also be a forward. She helped to pile up the score, so that we could say that we had won three games so far. But our good luck changed. On January 21 we played Asbury Park and lost. It just seems as if our girls cannot beat Asbury. This year we were even heaten by them on our own court. Usually we split even with Asbury on the return game. On January 23 we played the return game with Metuchen on their court and won. “Champ” and May were the high scorers in this game. After the .Metuchen game the mid-year graduation took place and because of this we lost four of the Varsity standbys: Virginia Hoy, forward, who helped pile up the score in all games played; Alice Bjork, guard, who played three years on the Varsity; Ida Wilson, another forward, and Malve Mahler, a guard. On February 13 we played North Plainfield where we were beaten by six points, but when the team visited us on March 5 we gave them a dose of their own medicine, defeating them with the score of 42-7. On March 17 we played at home with Woodbridge whom we defeated a 'econd time. The next day we played a stiff game at Red Bank, but lost it all by two points. On the 25th of March we played Red Bank and ended a very successful season by defeating them. By defeating Woodbridge a second time our team won the county championship. The great success of our team is due to the splendid training and coaching four physical instructor, Miss Geraldine Sprague. Those who received the varsity letters are: Virginia Reznischack, Captain; forwards. Inez Rossi and Elna Falkenstrom ; side center. May Pavlovsky; Mary Palo, Grace O’Hara, Clara Spivack, Evelyn Crowell, Mary Demko; kegina Larson, Manager. LAST WORD ■npHlS is the last official accomplishment of the Class as members of Perth Amboy High School. It is a standing memorial to the ability and perseverance of the members of the Class of 1925. We hope that this Annual may he a connecting link that will always keep fresh in the minds of its readers the memory of pleasant days well spent in Perth Amboy High School.
