As this city of Perth Amboy, in which we dwell, has grown and flourished, so has our Class of 1937. The years past have brought us disappointments, it is true, but without these we could not appreciate the gladness of our stay in high school. And without the years in high school, we could not appreciate what may be in store for us. Looking at the definite progress our city has made, we can realize, also that we have not been idle. The last four years have seen us grow and mature, not only physically, but mentally. Some people say that once a community gets its bearings, its start, and its leaders, if these have been earnestly, honestly acquired, good fortune will favor its every venture. Can we but believe this? It has been proved again and again. With this as a basis for each attempt to expand and conquer, it is almost impossible to fail. Too. it often has been said that once a child has entered high school, he ceases to be a child. There, if he is honorable and conscientious, he is assured of high scholarship. And what is this but the ability to study, to think things through, to be able to draw accurate and intelligent conclusions. Therefore, it seems that both the city and the one who is no longer a child certainly are destined for higher and better things. But there is one absolutely essential detail which we have omitted; something which is important in attaining the desired goal as health is to happiness. It is the aggressive zest, the sparkling dash, the push”, without which a person is an empty frame, a vacant personality. In Perth Amboy we feel we have reached the state of being an independent and advancing unit. We are whole-heartedly proud of the fact that we are constantly growing: improving old conditions, building new foundations, and continually striving to do that which is best for business and for the general welfare. And so, as we students of Perth Amboy High School leave its instruction and care, we do not set out unprepared. Beside school studies, we have learned to lead with our right foot. We have gleaned the knowledge that to remain in one place is to go backward. Thus we must always look ahead and never stand still. In this way, with these ideals, we can watch Perth Amboy grow, and say, I, too. am progressing, and I, too, will be successful.” TO ANTHONY CERES A. B., Notre Dame; LL.B.

Gloria Berger r,° y i,v t cJhe Old City of [Perth CCmhoy (I-tuiU'-fc WaifiOKs'Rcusi!; Yuulht iVuvoKf.. L‘. Perth Amboy, once the capital of the province of East Jersey, was founded in the latter part of the seventeenth century on land granted to the white men by the Indians. Its name was supposed to be derived from Emboyle, meaning point, given to it by an original settler, but this was later contracted into Ambo. Later, in honor of James, Earl of Perth, the town was given his name, and jointly it was named Perth Amboy. On August 24, 1718, the city of Perth Amboy, which contributed its share during the Revolutionary War, was granted a charter by the sovereign through Governor Robert Hunter, and in this new city was elected the first mayor, William Eier. The city continued to prosper, and in 1782, the nrst census was taken. This showed a total of eight hundred inhabitants. Progress in the field of industry did not begin until the latter part of the nineteenth century, but the growth of the industrial life of the city brought new growth to the city and caused the population to spread to its present number of over forty-five thousand inhabitants. The erection of homes and churches, as well as schools, has aided Perth Amboy. One of the oldest houses of the city, built before the Revolution, was the stone house which stands on Payette Street and Willocks Lane, known as the George Willocks House, Ye Olde Parsonage. Another building of Revolutionary fame is the Westminster, still standing intact on Kearny Avenue. This building, which is perhaps one of the most important building left standing from the old Perth Amboy, was once known as the Brighton House. Here William Franklin, the son of Benjamin Franklin. ruled as governor of the province of East Jersey. It was also here that the British were said to have learned many of the secrets of the Revolutionary armies. Vue . (2U! GfemcUCU Wirt K U'K. In 1758, the Barracks” were built on the site now occupied by the Grammar School. The erection of the Barracks was authorized at the time when similar buildings were erected in Trenton, New Brunswick and Elizabethtown. The Barracks were first occupied by troops returning from the capture of Havana in 1762, and later were used by British troops until the evacuation of New Jersey by these troops. When the Revolutionary War started, the Barracks were used by Capt. Conway’s militia. Later when the buildings were confiscated by the United States, in 1783, they were placed in tenantable repair.” Later the buildings were allowed to go to ruin and finally demolished altogether. Vico Ocu linuuivcUY Page Sixty-eight This building is reported to have been the first school in the city. Later, with the aid of Rev. McKean, a school was established near the intersection of Rector and Gulf (now Rector) Streets. The principal subjects taught in the Raritan Bay Seminary” were the Latin, Greek and English languages, and mathematics. Many years before the school was built, the city already had a few small churches. About 1685, the first Protestant Episcopal Church was built near the ferry, overlooking the Raritan River. St. Peter's Church, an outstanding example of early American architecture boasts of a silver communion service presented by Queen Anne, and has a burying ground where once nationally prominent men were interred. William Dunlap, the first American playwright, is one who is buried in St. Peter's churchyard. Rev. Lci (. I'CltuY 1 KVIUllK. Edward Portlock, the first rector, was sent here in 1698. In 1731, a new Presbyterian Church was built on Back Street”, now called State Street. The building and the burial ground were destroyed by the king’s soldiers during the Revolution. The Old British Prison, as well as these burial grounds, was once UlB SuttYBfeM C-tWURIuSGvlMOtJ Sv, Pevuuls Luuiteu. ( ••— situated where the Perth Amboy High School now stands. The first Roman Catholic service was held about 1842 at the home of James Tuite. Two years later a church and a parish school were built on Center Street. Eaglewood, a school conducted by the Springs, mentioned as people who had once befriended John Brown, is another of our earlier schools. Later the building which housed the school was known as the Eaglewood Park Hotel. At the foot of High Street was the Long Ferry Tavern, near the Long Ferry, by which the early citizens of Perth Amboy traveled to New York. Another building of colonial times which still stands and which contains valuable records, is the old Surveyor-general's Office, which is near City Hall Park and next to the City Hall. Here the proprietors of the East Jersey Province convened. Through all the years, civilization has extended and methods of living have changed, until we see Perth Amboy today as a rising industrial city, striving, climbing to the top. Gone are most of the historic buildings (sad to relate!), without which Perth Amboy could not have become what it is today. The ghosts of the city that was once boasted of as the possible rival of London and New York hover over us to remind us of what the city once was and to urge us to make the city even greater than its founders ever hoped it could be. Page Sixty-nine [Raritan [Ray Throughout the years since Perth Amboy was founded, the water-front has played an important part in its development. Until recently the bay was very abundant in hardshelled fish, but due to the pollution of the waters, as a result of the many surrounding factories, water life in the bay has diminished. For many years clamming and fishing were Perth Amboy’s chief industries. Now in the twentieth century, a change has come about in Perth Amboy. Due to its easy access to the ocean and New York, many boats use the sound. The Port Authority set about extending and deepening the old channels and constructing new ones, in order to accommodate ships of larger tonnage and to take care of the increasing amount of traffic. There is now no more delay in shipping as far as large ships are concerned. The Raritan Dry Dock, which is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year, is now taking on a noticeable change in its volume of business. Under the Works Progress Administration and the guidance of City Engineer, Louis P. Booz, a large boat basin is now being constructed to take care of the huge number of small boats in this vicinity. Many people from the surrounding suburbs are now keeping their boats in Raritan Bay. People from the Oranges, Plainfield, Westfield, and even as far as New York, did not take long to realize the advantages of its easy access, its deep water and its fine accommodations. Activities in the form of sailboat races can be seen taking place all summer long at the Raritan Yacht Club. The Yacht Club claims a fleet of eighty boats. We may now truthfully say that Perth Amboy may be proud of its water facilities and that Raritan Bay has a wonderful future. What [J [Know C(Lout [Perth GCm Perth Amboy is a city. Before I can tell you anything about it, you must know what it is. It is not a house, an umbrella, a pencil, or a chair. It is a city. Now we are aware that Perth Amboy” is not a common name for a city. I might even say that Perth Amboy is the only Perth Amboy named Perth Amboy. I shall now tell you one theory of how it got its name. The Earl of Perth, a Scottish nobleman, came to visit this country, and landed at our fair city. Being a Scot, he wore kilts, and as he walked down the gangplank, so we hear, the watching Indians remarked, Ugh, Perth girl!” The Earl hastily replied, Oh, No! Perth Am-boy!” Among its famous sections are Dublin, Budapest, Chickentown, and Slippery Meadows. You must know by this time that I am an expert on Perth Amboy. An expert, by the way, is a person who knows a lot about a very little and gets to know more and more about less and less, until he knows everything about nothing. JOSEPH KEATING Mr. Burke, he made a speech, Which to me they try to teach, For six hours every day, I'm try to catch on what he’d say. My teacher’s patience, she’s exhaust; I’m thinking that I’m almost lost. When on it I am take a test, I try to do what is my best. And even after I'm in bed, His pedantic words run through my head; Concurrence, vicissitudes, and deviation, Excrescence, magnanimity, and fluctuation. My English always was O. K. I never saw it wrote this way. Page Seventy-one JOSEPH KEATING Glass Will and cJestameat Since the time has come when we must leave the beloved halls of Perth Amboy High School, we, the Class of 1937, being of sane mind (?), do declare this to be our last will and testament: We request first, that all our teachers forgive and forget our weaknesses and the aggravation and trouble we’ve caused, and remember how much we've appreciated them.

We, the students of the Classical Course, bequeath to Mr. Gehman, Latin students who will be able to read between the lines of Virgil. We, the students of the Commercial Course, bequeath to the future Commercialites, dictaphones, new noiseless typewriters, filing cabinets and swivel chairs. We, the students of the General Course, bequeath to the students to come, the lasting kindness and friendship that have always been ours. We, the students of Miss Coult’s fourth period class bequeath to her new Senior A class, our daily cough drops. We, the girls of 200, bequeath to Miss Stripling a quiet assembly class that will appreciate her efforts and kindness as we have.

We, the class, bequeath to Mr. MacMichael, chorus members who will never miss any rehearsals.

CLASS OF 1937 Page Seventy-two 1937 1893 ACTIVITIES With the state championship in Debating for 1936 in their pockets, the DEBATING CLUB started off this year trying to uphold their good reputation, and they have succeeded. Through the efforts of Mr. Joseph Kerr, the new adviser, debates have been held with Hillside High School, South Side High School, Newark, Linden High Sshool, Kearny, Thomas Jefferson High School, Elizabeth, Passaic High School, and others. The club, however, has not been idle in Forensic League affairs. On February 24, Perth Amboy High School was host to visitors from all over the state who had come to take part in the State Declamation Contest for State Championship. A representative was also entered in the Extemporaneous Speech Contest. The club is looking forward again to the State Debating Contest preliminaries to be held in Trenton Central High School, with finals at Princeton University, April 24. Naturally the club hopes for the best, but at the time of going to print we can give no further report regarding the contest.

Discussions undertaken by the group this year were on such topics as the possibilities of forming a student council, the Spanish Revolution, its outcome, the problems of taxation, and other school, national, and international problems. Under the presidency of Anton Weiss, the club did not limit itself to group discussions of the various problems, but sponsored open forum discussions on such topics as the burden of taxation, the Supreme Court issue, and others. Some of the speakers who led the club in the open forum discussions were Mr. Deutsche, our adviser; Mr. David Mandel, a local attorney, Mr. Rose-boro and Mr. Philips, also of the faculty.

Under these new officers the club has been progressing steadily. During the year, we had Dr. Gabriel d'Eustachio of the General Cable Corporation, give us a talk on metals. We visited various chemical laboratories in Perth Amboy. Several students performed interesting experiments and gave talks to the club members. We enjoyed a happy and prosperous year under the supervision of Mr. Roland Tapley. We sincerely hope that future members of the Chemistry Club will adhere to past traditions and make this one of the outstanding intellectual clubs of the school.

Opportunity is given the members to manifest their ability in leadership through their work in assisting the social program of the group. No student may participate in the varied social activities unless he has an average of 85%. The Christmas program for the school, Dust of the Road”, was sponsored by our club. Included also in our activities for the year was a Round Table Discussion on Club Activities in other schools, with members present from Rahway High School and Battin High School Commercial Clubs. We also gave a party for the Seniors in June. A dance was held on April 9 in the school gymnasium, which was both a social and financial success. The Usher’s Club is an organization inaugurated by Perth Amboy High School to help keep order and discipline at the social affairs given by the different clubs of the school. The functions of this club are much the same as those of ushers at theaters. The duties of the members are to collect tickets, to usher people to their seats, to pass out programs and to see that quiet prevails while a program is going on. All members are taught to be courteous at all times. At the different affairs the members have their posts assigned to them, and it is their duty to see that the section in which they are placed is kept orderly and quiet. The faculty adviser for the club is Mr. Patrick White. Thomas Sinatra acts as chief usher, assisted by Edward Mawbey, Nicholas Rebic, William Bradley, Clement Swanick, Edward Swanick, Andrew Dudics, Valdo Nesti, • Daniel Shapiro, Nathan Buchsbaum, Alfred Krause and Edward Devish.

Page Seventy-seven (Boy’s Varsity dub The BOY'S VARSITY CLUB was organized in 1934, with its adviser, Mr. Stanley Rosen, who is the coach of the major sports in the high school. The purpose of the club is to keep up the interest in athletics even after graduation. Another of its aims is to give the boy athletes an official organization for conducting social functions. At present the members are those athletes who have won a letter in their respective sports. The requirements for admission are a letter and a two-thirds vote of the members. The big social event in the high school, to which every student looks forward, is the Varsity Club Dance which is run by the Boys’ and Girls’ Varsity Clubs. On the last day of school, Varsity Day is celebrated by the varsity clubs. The program consists of a chapel at which the awards for sports other than football are presented. It is at this time that most of the students get their last look at the senior athletes. At this time too there is always a prominent speaker.

Throughout the school year this club has maintained a very high standard of writing. This has been achieved by the members’ constant endeavor to better their news articles written each week for the PERTH AMBOY EVENING NEWS, which has a page for school news. These school reporters realize that to write a successful article one must be clear and concise. Acting as adviser of the PRESS CLUB, Mr. Wolfe by his advice and help has aided the club in securing its reputation of excellent standing in the school. He has been untiring in his efforts to improve the work of the club. The following are the members according to their classes: Seniors: Anne Grimsrud, Dan Shapiro, Marjorie Feldman.

The first meeting is a business meeting, and the second is social. The aim of the dub is to develop an interest in the social side of Household Arts. Various girls are appointed to organize activities for the meetings and to plan the refreshments. On February 19, the first social function of the year was held in the form of a Salamagundi Party. Friends of the members were invited, and games were enjoyed. On March 22, an Easter party was held which was open to members only. At Christmas the girls of the club contributed food for baskets which we e distributed to needy families. The club also contributed two dollars to the Red Cross Flood Relief Fund.

Jhe CCrt The Paletteers”, the art club in our High School, has had another successful year. Meetings were held every two weeks, with high artistic aims in mind. The Good Manners Campaign, held during the past year, was made successful with the cooperation of the Art Club, which made the slogans which were posted throughout the school. The members of the club assisted in the hanging and mounting of the exhibits for the High School exhibition. They also sewed as hostesses and attendants at the Art Booth. A sketching party concluded the activities of the Art Club.

Page Eighty-three The FRENCH CLUB, organized to promote interest in this romance language, is under the supervision of our own Mile. Coult. Admission depends on marks; the requirements are an eighty per cent average for the third year students of French, and an eighty-seven per cent average for the second year students. The first and third Monday of each month is put aside for a jolly afternoon of French. At the annual Christmas party, a French play was presented. At one meeting Mile. Coult gave a lecture on La Marseillaise” and its author. At the meetings, there were such novel affairs as French historical and geographical games, and a French spelling bee. Le Cercle Fran ais is a worthwhile organization, the more so since it is under the able leadership of our president.

The bi-weekly meetings were held for the always important purpose of discussing Spain and the Spanish language. During the year, the old and new members of the club made a trip to New York where they visited the Spanish section. This was only one of the very interesting activities which helped us to a successful season which could not have been possible without the help of our very excellent adviser, Miss Vincenza Esposito.

At the social meetings, Bingo (in German) riddles, and scrambles in the foreign language were attempted, and folks songs were sung. Parties were also included in the year's program. Topics were also given on such great men as ex-Kaiser Wilhelm, Schiller, Goethe and others. The group went on a trip to New York where they ate at a German restaurant, saw a German movie and liner, and visited other places of interest. (§ Circulo Gastellano (Juvenil After a beginning, quite as exciting to its members, but not so large as its senior club, the JUNIOR SPANISH CLUB carried on a season of varied events. The club is open to juniors studying second year Spanish who maintain a grade of eighty-five in class work, and to juniors studying first year Spanish who keep up a grade of ninety. These members of the club have given socials, Spanish plays, sung Spanish songs, played Spanish games, and have also taken a trip to New York where a Spanish movie and museum were visited.

During September, we attended the Hi-Y Training Conference at Camp Wawayanda where we led several discussion groups on the theme, Being a Pioneer.” The month of October found our program well under way. The induction of new members served as an occasion for a delicious supper and also afforded an opportunity to the Hi-Y orchestra to make its debut. Thanksgiving found us busy with distributing baskets to the needy and making plans for a social to be held in conjunction with the Triangle Girls. These activities were huge successes. In December the Annual Older Boys’ Conference was attended at Collingswood where several members led a panel forum. During one of the several discussions and lecture meetings. Dr. Niedemeyer spoke on Being a Christian and Christian Character.” The annual Hi-Y Alumni Supper, always an important event, comes on December 27. The features of the evening were talks give nby the Alumni about their various colleges and college life. Spring is the time for merry-making and it was then we were guests of the Triangle £irls- Lectures, socials, discussions, participations in school affairs as a club, business meetings—all these various activities kept us well occupied, not to mention the basketball team which we built up for the year. Our showing was not an impressive one, but a mediocre one. May we, the members of the Hi-Y Club, express our deepest appreciation for the helpful assistance given us during the year by our advisory staff: Mr. J. W. Hone, Mr. Gordon Koehler and Mr. R. H.

Among them are: Rev. Neidermeyer of the Presbyterian Church, Hon. Judge Pickerskill, and Mr. Matthew Christofferson. At these meetings, religious and educational topics have been discussed. Many social functions were attended by the members of the club. At our Thanksgiving Supper, Mrs. Adrion Lyon brought us a Thanksgiving message. In the spring the Alumnae of our club were entertained. Several of the members of past years were represented. A hilarious time was had at the skating party at the Plainfield Skating Rink. In May a charming formal dance was held at the Elks. The I riangle Club has also extended a helping hand in time of need. At Christmas and Thanksgiving, baskets were distributed among the poor. A donation was given to the Salvation Army and also for relief at the time of the mid-west flood. We, the girls of the Triangle Club of 1936 and ’37, feel as though we have now completed one of the most successful years of the Triangle Club. NORMA D'ANGELO of he 3Ky-Q-Tl Club The closing of the school year marks the most successful season the Hy-G-N Club has known. In its efforts to further the club ideal of service, much interest has been manifested in community work. Club members aided the Red Cross in its Roll Call and Flood Relief Collection. An outstanding project was the providing of toys for the Kiddie Keep Well Camp. In addition, the club will be responsible for the entertainment of the children at Kiddie Keep Well Camp during the first week in July. National Child Health Week found the Hy-G-N Club sponsoring the cnapel exercises. Dr. Herbert Stack, was the guest speaker and illustrated this talk with movies. The social committee has been particularly active and many interesting programs have been given during club meetings. The annual dance held in February was attended by a number of invited guests and proved a most delightful function. Club members were the guests of C. Raymond Wycoff, Superintendent of County Welfare Work, and enjoyed a tour of inspection through the new Roosevelt Hospital at Roosevelt Park. Ever mindful of its desire to raise health standards, the club has made donations to several community health promotion drives. In its daily school life, the club has ever striven to be a credit to Hygeia, the patron saint of the club. Club membership reached the maximum enrollment of forty-five members this year and was guided in its efforts by Miss Marie Fisher, Club President. Page Eighty-seven cJhe Tlational Although the organization is fundamentally an honorary one, this past year it has been unusually active. In February new members were installed, under the requirements of Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. The total membership is forty, which is less than ten per cent of the Junior and Senior classes. The Induction of the new members is the solemn and impressive ceremony carried on by the members inducted the previous year. This year the society was honored by Trenton Central High School with a request to install their candidates. This the local club did willingly, and all had a wonderful day in Trenton besides. Membership in this body is the highest honor Perth Amboy High School can confer on any of its pupils.

The Junior Red Cross began its year very actively, with Miriam Gutman as president. They accomplished many things, the first being the Red Cross Conference which was held in the Perth Amboy High School, October 14, 1936 and was one of the great honors paid to us. Perth Amboy acted as host to sixty chapters from all over New Jersey. The second undertaking that the Junior Red Cross accomplished was the establishment of girls' First Aid Classes with Miss Kozusko as supervisor. A plea for the collection of toys was made by the Junior Red Cross, and the result was that a generous contribution was made. In order to collect money for the flood relief, the Junior Red Cross sponsored a dance with the help of the Girls’ Varsity Club. The Junior Red Cross also earned money by the sale of Christmas cards. Another drive for funds was made. An Amateur Hour was given which proved a great success. We have told you what the Junior Red Cross has done to secure funds, but now we are going to tell you how it was spent. Toys were given to the needy and poor. Money went to the flood sufferers in the Ohio Valley. Eyeglasses were procured for those who needed them. Christmas was made cheerful for many who were supplied with toys. The JUNIOR RED CROSS closed another year of service by undertaking a new project known as The Social Service Survey,” whose aim is to be of service to local needy institutions in the way of recreations.

The officers. President, Gloria Berger; Vice-president, Alfred Tenenbaum; Secretary, Naomi Rabiner, and Treasurer, Eleanor Siegel, in conjunction with the club adviser, Miss Florence V. Stauffer, and the program committee chairmen, Ruth Macan and Rose Manger, worked extensively to put forth many interesting programs of varied natures. The highlight of the year’s work was the annual play, given on May 7. REMEMBER THE DAY was a poignant comedy-drama depicting the panorama of jouth.

During its first year it was little known to the students, but this year, which is its second of existence, it is known almost to everyone. Mr. Klein and Mr. Huntress, the advisers, are planning even bigger and better years to come. At the club meetings, the members construct planes which have been designed by Mr. Huntress. The main features of the aeroplanes are simplicity, ease of construction, and good flying ability. As the club’s aim is to construct planes, let us go through the building of an aeroplane, as the club members do, in order to complete one of their models. The first step in building a plane is the construction of the body or fuselage, as it is called. Each builder gets full sized plans over which the frame work is built. This completed, the sides are covered with very thin sheet balsa, which gives strength and durability to the entire body. The next thing to be done is the tail surface which is easily made. Now comes the hard part: building the wing. After much difficulty, that too is completed. When the landing gear is attached, the units are assembled and—Presto! the plane is finished and waiting to go. These club members also go places, we’ll have you know. On February 4, they visited the National Air Show. Did they like it? You should have heard them raving about it. The present officers of the club are: PRESIDENT......................................EDMUND WOOD SECRETARY........................................MARY SHAMY TREASURER............................CHARLOTTE RUFF Page Ninety-one During the past year this organization has done many things worth noting. One of the most impressive was the trip to the Book Fair held at the New York Times Building, as was also our trip to Radio City. We think the Library Club has been lavish with their sympathy in times of distress. For instance, whenever a student or teacher is ill, a few representatives make it their duty to visit the patients and lend them assistance. The Book Worm,” another commendable item, is a publication composed of articles written by members of the Library Club. This was introduced by Helen Hayes, the present editor. Another noteworthy affair was the farewell party given to Miss Anna Cladek, the former librarian, who was our adviser at the time. Since her resignation, we have given to our new librarian, Miss Dorothy Ramsey, and to the new assistant, Miss Marian Graham, our unqualified support. On the whole, membership in the Library Club is highly desirable, as you can readily see. The Perth Amboy High School History Club holds its meetings on the first and third Thursday of each month in Room 308. Mr. Phillips is the founder and adviser of the club. Essays on current topics are given at each meeting by volunteers, after the business of the club has been discussed. Subjects chosen for discussion are voted by a majority of the members. These topics are open for discussion by all members. Discussion includes opinion and reasearch. The chosen topics are both interesting and educational. Such topics as have been given are: Superstition, and its Influence on Civilization”, Getting the Most out of Life”, The Value of Play in Life”, and The Worthy Use of Leisure Time. The History Club aims to encourage and train students in the field of history, so that they may maintain greater leadership; to afford an opportunity for the development of individuality through discourses; to develop worthy citizens of the community, nation and the world; to afford an opportunity to develop public speaking. Several social affairs, for the benefit of the members and alumni of the History Club take place during holidays and at the end of the year at the home of the adviser. Page Ninety-two of he cKigk cSck oo I G orus Page Ninelylhree This year has been a very active one for the Chorus; the many entertainments were well prepared and well-liked. The officers of the Chorus are: PRESIDENT............HERBERT RICHARDSON VICE-PRESIDENT...............ROSE TOBIAS SECRETARY.....................j FLORA CHALLELLA I EVELYN JONES TREASURER..................RUTH DiRUSHA Rehearsals are held every Tuesday for the girls, Thursday for the boys, and Friday for all. The purpose of the Chorus is to sing for enjoyment. There have been many programs presented by the Chorus this year: All- State Concert in Atlantic City, in which thirty members of the Chorus participated, a program in Spotswood, the Kiwanis Club, the Winter entertainment, and the Spring Concert. The second school semester saw the Chorus also busy with the Superintendent's meeting, the program given by ten girls and Herbert Richardson, Catholic Daughters of America, the Rotary Club, the Woman s Club, the opening of the New Post Office, the Spring Concert, and the Spring Festival in Trenton. With all of these programs, the Chorus has truly had a very busy year. cJha Glass of g6 Six Perth Amboy High School students were graduating, and mighty proud were they! They were seated around a table in the Presbyterian Chapel being presented by their principal, Miss Dimick, to Superintendent Samuel E. Shull. One of the boys recited his valedictory and the exercises were all over. This graduation took place about forty years ago. How different from the Class of ’37! Because of the fact that there were no high school teachers, these students had been educated at No. 1 School. Their teachers were Mr. Willis, who soon left to become an instructor at Newark Normal School; Miss Dimick, who succeeded him as principal; and Miss Vaughn, who later took Miss Dimick’s place. Latin was required! In fact, for the most part, they were taught classical subjects. Not one of the students took a commercial subject! Three teachers and four subjects . . while the Class of '37 will leave with an education gleaned through ninety teachers and fifty subjects! Six students to four hundred and thirty . . such is the change these past forty years have shown. Oh, those were the good old days ... so they say! . . . Oeniors Some of us are pretty, and some are pretty funny, but we’re all cute. The wise ones and the dumb ones are really the same, as they both acclaim our football heroes and they both think that blondes are dynamite. We’re a crazy gang, not unusual, noisy, sincere and painfully young. We’re darn glad we came to Amboy High—it's swell! In fact, in the utmost confidence, even the drudges will say, It's De-Lovely.” Can you imagine us going out into the world? It’s hard to, because we seem to be just as we were when we entered high school. Perhaps we re older and more experienced (who wouldn’t be?) but it’s still Tony, who’s the best, and Albert the smartest, just like kids. But, don t you worry—faculty, family, or friends—we've gumption . . and we’re not very scared. NORMA WILENTZ cJhe Glass CPo ocj resses When the Empire State Building had just been completed, you, along with millions of others marvelled at its construction. The foundation, the numerous floors, the artistic designs were actually works of art. That edifice, no doubt, gave intensive joy to many. So too, dear fellow student, will the building that we have just completed be considered great, and give joy to many. In the past four years we have built something that can never be destroyed—not a thing nor a person can deprive us of this gift. In 1933 we entered Perth Amboy High School as lowly, unlearned Freshmen. Timid as wc- were, we did possess that unyielding courage that was needed to lay our foundation. We were taught many lessons that year—and they weren’t entirely scholastic, either! Being introduced to the mysteries of chapel was indeed a novelty. (Ooops, a senior just brushed past your shoulder—another thrill!) In this year we were firmly established and enjoyed a solid foundation for our future years. After a two months vacation, we collected the materials with which to build our first floor. We developed a fine sense of pride in our school, strived toward higher ideals and the like. Well, why not? We were no longer the insignificant Freshmen that we were last semester. When we became Juniors the second story of our building was added. We studied diligently and worked harder than ever before; won the respect and admiration of the underclassmen. Also, having gained many new friends among the seniors, we felt free to participate in the activities which were before denied us. Only one more year to go—one more year to enjoy the rights granted to a senior, the privileges bestowed upon them. Soon our building would be completed. The corner stone would be laid, the artistic finishing touches put on—all essential to complete our happy high school days (perhaps daze”). Page Ninety-four Some of us will go on and build other edifices of education; others will sally forth to shoulder many responsibilities, but it is certain that one will never take as much joy in building as the construction we began at good old Perth Amboy High School. With a shrill, piercing whistle, the enormous train, Father Time”, drew up before the turnstile of 1934 where it was boarded by a large number of happy, eager, excited Freshmen. The huge wheels began to turn and the ponderous structure moved forward along the beckoning rails, conveying its enthusiastic passengers into the realms of sagacity. Each day new vistas of knowledge unfurled before the students who were gradually adjusting themselves to their new environment. Exploration and new discoveries offered aid to those hordes of energetic boys and girls, as each and everyone, bubbling over with vim, vigor, and vitality, struggled to do his or her best to keep on the upward path in order that each might attain those honors which were to present themselves in the near and promising future. They became acquainted with various school club activities and upheld the fighting spirit which is so important a part in the development of school loyalty. Shortly afterward, the conductor entered the car and announced Sophomore Station! Sophomore Station” to which announcement the students responded with a ready will, hustling to change to a coach that would bring them nearer their destination. As one departed from the platform, one noticed that the passengers had diminished in number, but were just as hopeful and ambitious as before. These students attained loftier accomplishments and a more superior air because of their Freshman experiences. Father Time” sped fleetly past this eventful Sophomore year. The second lap of the journey was now complete. Again the conductor entered the car to announce that the Junior term was at hand. Increased activities in clubs, athletics, and all important education were now observed. The eventful election of candidates to the National Honor Society excited the hopeful aspirants and renewed their vigor as special privileges accompanied this honor. Once more the time has passed with amazing rapidity and after traversing a short distance, the smaller group, those persevering students who withstood both trials and tribulations, enter the Senior terminal with a loud and joyous cheer. What does the future hold? Are we to keep up as admirable and honorable a record as our previous one? It is up to each and every one of us to broaden the field of endeavor for our dear old Alma Mater as well as for ourselves. Good old Father Time” will carry this group on to points unknown in fhe dim future! RUTH KOSENE and LEILA FELDMAN CHistory of the (Sophomore Glass Dear Mary Mover, You will never realize just how much fun you have missed since you moved during the summer vacation. You remember how many good times we had as Freshmen? Well, this year we have had a great many more. As Freshmen, we were eager and anxious to please. Our immediate participation in school activities showed our aptitude and loyalty. Now we have representatives in almost every phase of school life and our class has already gained much honor, and holds an enviable record. Last year we had a few players on the scrub football team and now a goodly number wear crimson and white sweaters, signifying that they were on the team which won the Central Jersey Championship. The good work of last year’s freshman basketball team has gained us several stars on this year's Jay Vee team. In baseball our boys are doing a more outstanding job this spring than they did last season. Furthermore, sophomores have gained important positions on the track team and in boxing and wrestling squads. Nor are the girl's athletic activities anything to be scoffed at, for they have a spirit with plenty of grit. And why shouldn’t all our athletes be good with our cheerleaders to spur them on? Those with ability to write found almost at once a secure position on the PERISCOPE staff, as well as membership in several writing clubs in connection with English, and Page Ninety-fire participation in contest. The students with better lung equipment went out for the Chorus and for cheerleading. That we are musically inclined is shown by the number of sophomores in the band and orchestra. Those that so innocently hid a movie book behind a school book tried for the Dramatic Club. The ones who have speaking ability have gained places among the best debaters and declaimers of the school. Sophomores have attained not only membership but also positions of responsibility in school organizations. ou might be about to assume that we are neglecting our studies in favor of extracurricular activities, but such is not the case, for our honor roll is one of the longest and we shall be remembered for our scholastic efforts. I suppose that after reading this letter you will be green with envy. And well you might, for the Class of 1939 is destined to take its place among the greatest. Sincerely, SUSAN SOPH ANNE HUBBARD and SHIRLEY FOX (J'Cistory of the dreshnian Class Did you notice us when we arrived ? Did you inquire who those children thought they were, strutting through your Alma Mater s hallowed halls? Come clean now, you know you did! Well, now we’ll inform you who those kids” were! They were Freshmen, and proud of it! We came into P. A. H. S. with a sinking sensation in the region of our stomachs. After all, tales of how innocent novices had been initiated into the high school sets were fresh in our minds. Principal W. W. Ramsey welcomed us cordially and with his words instilled in our hearts a love for our newly adopted temple of learning. Subsequent to this, we were introduced to our teachers and assembly rooms. Some of us femmes” found ourselves in the cafeteria, and of course, wondered why. (May I add that now we know!) Next day, we began classes, and here the muddle began. We landed in Senior English classes where our cards had scheduled us in the same room for Frosh algebra, and so on. By the time this situation was straightened out, September was already gone. Now began the studying for good marks, at least for the first marking period In between times, football games and after school dances took our time. Did we feel big? In November, tire first report cards came out, and they were good (at least most of of them.) Along with this came the first Chapel, and we didn't buy any tickets to it either. (You see, we’re not so dumb!) Pictures for the records were also taken, and comments, such as Classy eh?,” were heard when profile shots were taken. Along came Christmas vacation, but by this time, vacation was not to be regretted; we certainly didn't. After stuffing ourselves full of candy and turkey, and recovering from the effects, education seemed a rather enjoyable thing again, especially with basketball on the side. January, the month of snow! (What snow?) All we did was study, since sleighing was impossible. However, we soon got rid of our studying-phobia, because along came the Mardi Gras contest. We were all breathless to see who would win, and we finally saw the king and queen of the Mardi Gras crowned. February passed as a dream, with Lincoln and Washington being honored on their birthdays. In February we also had a Chapel, where Judge Pickersgill enlightened the underclassmen with an illustrated talk concerning George Washington. Now, as we Freshmen look back upon our first year of high school, we see many happy and humorous incidents which contributed to the pure joy of being a high school pupil for the first time. We even can laugh at the ribbings” we received from upperclassmen now, though we took them seriously at the time. Ho Hum! You must be getting tired of hearing so much of our Frosh class, so now we’ll end our narrative by wishing the Seniors luck and reminding you that we'll be full-fledged Sophs next year! HELEN NYGAARD Page Ninety-six Sfootball Encore! Encore! This was the general shout when the 1936 football season came to a glorious end. With Central Jersey Championship laurels in their grasp, the boys in crimson turned in their suits, leaving an enviable record behind: seven smashing wins, one tie, and one loss. The year marked a new rabid injection of spirit by the team’s followers, as could be seen by the frenzied hosts who cheered both at the games and celebrated ostentatiously afterward. The first encounter proved that the Panther aggregation was well supplied with man power and possessed a smoothly functioning aerial attack. The Woodbridge Barrons journeyed to Waters’ Stadium, and were met by two pass-snaring ends: Bill Struve and Walt Mazonowski. Both boys grabbed the pigskin and crossed the last white stripe for six points apiece. Struve added another, a perfect goal-kick for the coveted extra point. The final score read victorious 15—0. . . Following this game, Thomas Jefferson High School of Elizabeth fell a 14—0 victim. Charles German returned the kick off twenty yards before a rival tackle could spill him. Soon four successive first downs damaged the Jeff defense, and Floyd Brown slid over for the tally. Struve converted the extra point, and with his crashing blocked kick, the Panthers traveled on to another score, ringing up the second win in as many starts for the embryonic season. Perth Amboy varied their winning method of a week previous and came out on top by virtue of hard ground plays . . . But as all dreams must be shattered into reality, thus did the Asbury Parkitc-s destroy State Championship visions. The Rosenmen took the field as a decided underdog, but with Bancer’s 60-yard opening run as evidence, the Blue Bishops found no such easy pickin's. However, the visitors took advantage of Amboy penalties and went on to their first score. A clever blocked kick, right down the field, and things were evened at tip 6—6. Both teams rallied for a second time but still could not break a deadlock—two sweating elevens emerged, 12-12. Bancer and Chizmadia proved big guns and shoved themselves farther into State limelight. . . and then! New Brunswick’s All-State Andy Beno came to town and literally went to town”. The traditional Cross-Raritan rivals blasted undefeated hopes in a domineering manner. The Panthers got off to a good start, only to have their threatening score completely obliterated by the interception of a pass by Beno. A nip and tuck punting duel ensued, success following Beno and his teammates, who scored twice and then settled down to hold the enraged Amboy outfit in check. They did comfortably, and success was written to the tune of 13—0. . . Undaunted, undiscouraged, and very much determined, the Panthers cried ful steam ahead” and sailed into Paterson Central, a hardened opponent which put up a splendid fight. By virtue of Chizmadia’s touchdown, and Bancer’s end run for the extra point, Amboy managed to chalk up another win, 7—0. The next victim to fall before the terriffic Crimson onslaught was Weequahic High School of Newark. Although completely outplaying the Newarkers, the latter marked a clever aerial display, but their threatening advances were repulsed with ease by the aggressive Panthers. Bancer again proved the thorn in the opposition’s side; his 50 yard broken field tally, supplying spectators with the ace thrill on the afternoon. Chizmadia also broke through and the final score read 13—0. Riding on a rolling crest of victory, P. A. H. S. gridders chalked their third consecutive win at the expense of South River. Eleven plays following the opening kick-off and Chizmadia and Co. drew blood. Bancer bucked the line for the point after touchdown. Soon later burly Bill Struve blocked Shinn’s punt and raced 9 yards to another score. The county foes, deeply chagrined, could not even cope with the extra point pass. From then on, the Panthers were never headed. The Bricktowners fought stubbornly but could not penetrate the superior line. Toward the end of the fray, Chizmadia faked a pass and galloped to the yard line, only to have the play called back. This last scoring threat was brought to an abrupt halt by the whistle. . . The peak of the Panther grid season, a most fitting climax, came when our contingent rose to unsurmountable heights, plastering Irvington with overwhelming defeat, 45—0. The Camptowners opened the rout by pushing the kick-off down to the Crimson and White 4-yard line. Their scoring attempt was frustrated, the boys merged from their few moments of lethargy and the fun began. First down on their own fifteen, a quick sixty yard kick by Chizmadia, and a recovery in midfield, started the furious drive which netted the total of 45 points. Second down, Chizmadia flipped a 22-yard pass to Krilla who eluded Irvington tackles for the initial score. Bancer grabbed the former’s heave for the extra point. Brown intercepted a Camptown throw following the kickoff and in six rapid plays, the score read 13—0. Scintillating air gains predominated in the second quarter, Bill Struve on the receiving end. The score mounting, Struve blocked a kick and Krilla again went over the white stripe. In the last quarter Chizmadia threw a forty-yard pass which was grabbed by Bancer. To Page Ninety-eight add insult to injury, Chizmadia, in the closing minutes of tire game, ran through the entire Irvington team for 94 yards, and six points. It was Bill Struve’s last game and fate made it his best. The wild jubilee following was both sad and happy. But such a tremendous swansong! finis to a brilliant gridiron career, during a fray which will never be forgotten. . . The 1936 Pigskin panorama achieved its ultimate glory when the hitherto unmarred Carteret record was besmirched. The largest crowd ever to assemble in Waters’ Stadium witnessed the Annual Turkey Day Classic, the Panthers taking their last victorious bow. The Ramblers pierced the home combination’s defense a number of times during the first half. Only sheer grit and determination kept the visitors from scoring on three different occasions. Their passes were completed in rapid precision, their broken field running was superb, but P. A. H. S. representatives with Tom Sinatra, the main defensive cog, held off doggedly. This staunch defense became an all powerful offense as soon as the last half got under way. One brilliant goal line smash was battered by the Ramblers, but the Big Red Team again fought their way down, each man working like a veritable Trojan, until Chizmadia battered his opponents’ line for a touchdown. Charles German booted the extra point, thus ending his career in a blaze of glory. The remainder of the tense battle was all Perth Amboy’s, but when the gun fired the score was still 7—0. The frost-bitten toes and numb fingers combined with hoarse voices rang out tribute, a last farewell to one of the finest football aggregations ever to don Panther uniforms. . . Perth Amboy High School received State and County attention, Chizmadia receiving State honors, and Struve, Suto, and Sinatra, county recognition. Members of the winning contingent received Group IV Central Jersey Championship sweaters at the annual Elks football dinner. Including Manager Leo Perelman, they were as follows: William Struve, Floyd Brown, Anthony Chizmadia, Thomas Sinatra, Victor Minus, Frank Bancer, Steven Galetta, Frank Suto, Walter Paszula, David Perry, William Dolan, Nick Chapis, Charles German, John Krilla, Martin Ostc-rgaard, Steven Masley, Michael Bodnarik, Alex Molnar, Walter Mazonowski, John Galaida, and Edward Dabicynski.

Page Ninety-nine 125 +■ •• -V. s the darkest aspect of the season there was a bright light, shining over all of the games. This shining light was the brilliant victory over the highly-favored Indians of Weequahic High School of Newark. The Indians were one of the strongest North Jersey basketball teams and had defeated many of the teams that had defeated Amboy. Stopping their much-heralded plays and using an effective man-to-man defense, the the Panthers led throughout the game and finally won, the score being 29-20. But on the other hand, the game with New Brunswick was probably the most disheartening—at any rate for P. A.'s rooters, if not for the team itself. The sizzling Panthers fought valiantly from the very beginning of the game, but finally succumbed in the last few seconds before the invincible attack of the abler basketeers. iBasketball When Coach Rosen called for prospects to try out for the 1937 edition of basketball, little did we think that this team would win nine straight and rate among the best in the state. Of course, this record was brought about by constant practice and drilling, and even so, as good as the first part was, the latter part was bad. In fact, in the last part of the season, only half of the games played were won. Even in Nick Chapis was the outstanding scorer of the team, and led the team to many victories with his one-handed bucket shots. Tony Chizmadia and Henry Lakomski, both excellent players, were the other tossers on the starting five of this year. Henry Lakomski had an uncanny eye for mid-court shots and these shots were often the margin of victory. Tony Chizmadia was another whose action on the football field made good use of side stepping the opposition to lay up perfect shots from under the basket. Tommy Steinback, in the latter part of the year, found himself the holder of a varsity berth and Page One Hundred his accurate foul shooting deserves much credit. Bud Deter, whose most outstanding bid for fame was his one man rally in the city championship game with St. Marys' will be the only varsity man to return for action next year. With Deter leading in the St. Marys’ encounter, Perth Amboy High won a hair-raising tussle with their opponent to annex the city title. A thrilling sight it was, each team battling to the nth degree! Sheppy Sewitch, lanky center, will also return. Sheppy played for half of the season on the varsity team. Louie Peterson, who was also active for half of the season provided the scoring punch that was rarely found missing. Leshy” Perel-man. Floyd Brown, Joe Marra, John Krilla, Walt Paszula and Joe Frontera were the most capable of the varsity subs. The Panthers scored 626 points in nineteen games, an average of 31.9 points a game or better than a point a minute, while the opponents scored 479 points to average 25.2 points a combat. The most outstanding features of the year’s games were: The nine straight games in the beginning of the year . . . The holding of Cranford High School scoreless for twelve minutes . . . The overtime defeat by New Brunswick in which the Panthers, playing before an over-crowded gymn, tied the game up in the waning seconds of the last quarter and then, with a few seconds to go in the over-time period, to see the game lost by a set shot and a foul throw . . . The marvelous shooting of Nick Chapis in the first half of the Woodbridge game which netted him fifteen points . . . The one man rally of Bud Deter to win the eighth city championship in a row . . . The poor playing of the team as a whole in the tourney game with New Brunswick . . . The able work of Manager Stanley Paszkewicz and his assistants, Leo Carasiti, Sidney Zagoreen and Paul Weiss.

With a highly successful season behind them, the next best think is to look ahead and see what is in store for Coach Rosen’s pupils in the future. The fact that Bud Deter and Shep Sewitch will be present next year to help mold the team, and because many excellent players were developed by Bill Kozusko, the Jayvee coach, we can rest on our laurels and look forward to some more happy days! BERT HARRIS and MARIE RYAN Another sport new to Amboy High this year is that of wrestling. Under the capable direction of Coach Allan Hoddeson, himself a wrestler of no mean prowess, a promising squad of fourteen boys was picked from about thirty trying out. The team consisted of Harold Bender, Arnold Gursky, Alex Molnar, Ladisaw Novaky, Ralph Roberts, Peter Kos-inski, Kalman August. Nick Andrusko, Thomas McMahon, Edward Walusheck, Anton Szeg, Alfred Krause, James Dolhy, Frank DiCicca, and Anton Weiss, manager. The boys had only one interscholastic meet, with Jefferson high School. Although they came out second best here, it could be seen that the defeat was due more to lack of experience than to lack of courage. Many more interscholastic meets are expected for next year. About half of the squad will be back, and good material is expected. Here’s luck, boys! State tournament game. Page One Hundred and One DAN SHAPIRO After an uneventful indoor season, the track team led by Co-Captains Vagner Nissen and Earl La Tour-ette ran through a better than average outdoor season for 1936. The annual interclass meet which was won by the Seniors with 42 points followed by the Sophomores, Juniors and Freshman with 19, 16 and 0 points, respectively, was the first on the schedule. This was closely followed by the Long Branch and Penn Relays where the team was kept from scoring by the closest of margins. In the first dual meet Metuchen was encountered and overcome by a 53—42 score. Woodbridge next in line was defeated by a wide margin, the score being 54-17. The third straight victory after a tough battle was at the expense of New Brunswick. In the journey to South River, disaster overtook the local team when Co-captain Nissen was forced out of a competition by a torn muscle. This loss caused us to drop this meet by a 44—46 score. The last dual meet decided the city championship when St. Marys’ was overcome by a 61—10 score. The season was concluded with the Annual County Meet held at New Brunswick. In this meet Perth Amboy placed third behind South River and New Brunswick. Those taking part in the meets were as follows: Sprints: Co-captains Vagnar Nissen and Earl La Tourette, Arne Karlbon, Joe Jugan, Ben Masella, Joe Capik, Clem Swanick, William Mansfield, and Tony De Rasmi.

At the conclusion of the season Clem Swanick was elected Track Captain and Tony Chizmadia was elected Field Captain for 1937. After we had been threatened for a while with the resignation of our coach, Mr. Leo Klein, we got off into the midst of the track season. Among the meets attended were the Stuyvesant Meet at New York, Lincoln Meet at Jersey City, National Championships at Madison Square Garden, Seton Hall Meet at Newark, and the Elizabeth Invitation Meet at Elizabeth. The most successful day was at the Sunday Call Meet in Newark. There the freshmen came within two points of taking the State Championship Freshman Trophy which was won by Dickinson of Jersey City. The point-scorers indoors were Charles Richardson, Clem Swanick, Tony De Rasmi, Joe Jugan, Andrew Roberts, Alex Suto and Frank Suto.

Far back in 1932 the school for the first time permitted inter-class fighting, and that year the program proved highly successful. Champions in various classes were crowned, but for some reason the backers of the program never extended their efforts to keep this sport going in our school. This year, under the coaching of Mr. William Convcry, a member of the faculty, the school has taken this sport seriously. Mr.-Con-very is assisted in tutoring by Jack Colfer. Due to the large crowd that reported for the team, Coach Convery found it necessary to conduct an interclass boxing tournament in April at the High School Gymnasium. Much interest was displayed in the boxing bouts the night of the event when a large crowd gathered to see the bouts scheduled. Fifteen bouts were conducted and the winners were to represent the Perth Amboy High School in boxing. Those crowned champions were: Joseph Gursky and Frank Notaro, 110-pound class; Gunnar Hed-vall, 115-pound class; Joseph Frontera, Howard Skelton, 126-pound class; Joseph Honan, Milton Wilson and Herbert Richardson, 35-pound class Charles German, Steve Masley and Louis Dolby, 145-pound class; Richard Johnson, Nick Andrusko, and Alex Molnar, 155-pound class. In the final bout the title of the 175-pound class was awarded to John Galaida who won over Hyman Toborowsky. As a result of this excellent showing, the coaches are looking forward to having matches with South River, Phillipsburg, St. Mary’s of South Amboy, St. Peter’s of New Brunswick and other strong teams from New Jersey. At the time of going to print plans are already under way to make boxing a major sport in this school. ctennis We are quite handicapped in writing about tennis because the season of 1936, completed so long ago, is gone and forgotten, while the fates have not decided what 1937 holds in store for us. Last season saw a new green” team take the courts against such seasoned opponents as Asbury Park, Roselle, Plainfield, Metuchen, and Red Bank. Despite this, the freshmen and sophomores, managed to eke out six victories in twelve starts. This year with some experience behind them, the same team, now sophomores and juniors, ought to prove themselves more capable. Despite the illness of Tex” Avchc-n, who has been counted on to fill one of the single’s berths, veterans such as Sydney Sewitch, Joe Barber, and Fred Miller stand ready to take up the racket for Perth Amboy High. The new concrete courts ought to give us a chance to get at least two weeks’ practice before the opening of the clay courts. This one thing ought to help the team develop faster than in former years. So far matches have been scheduled by Manager Rostkowski with South River, Metuchen, Monmouth County Junior College, Asbury Park and Roselle, so that tennis this year ought to hit a new high, inasmuch as the entire team will be back again in 1938. Coach Wolfe is very positive as to the usefulness of tennis in later life and so is very outspoken in his praise of the support given this minor sport by the boys themselves, by the athletic association, and by those of the city playground department in charge of the courts. We all hope for another undefeated season this year, but barring that, we also hope that our tennis team will prove themselves of the calibre that has been shown in the past. Page One Hundred and Three aseoa The Panthers will play one of the strongest baseball schedules that this school has ever undertaken, according to reports as we go to print. With many of last year's regulars returning, the prospect for a good baseball team seems very encouraging. Steve Bielen, a senior, is one of the best catchers who ever caught for Perth Amboy High. He is a far hitter and seems to know just what the other fellow can’t hit. Steve Lefty” Galetta is one of last year’s varsity pitchers. Last year he pitched a one-hit game against Woodbridge, striking out fifteen men. He is very strong at bat and was one of the leading hitters last year. When he doesn’t pitch, one can find him playing at first base or in the field. John Krilla is the varsity second baser of last year. This year, with more experience and judgment, he is sure to play better than last year. He is another good hitter and is sure to make a fair hit at almost any time. Ed. Dabcynski is the third baseman. Last year, as a freshman, he was the surprise of the year with his constant good playing. He is sure to help the team always. Walt Paszula, last year’s leading hitter, is one of the outfielders who returned. Last year he played with great vim and vigor, and brought the crowd to their feet many times with his play. One of his outstanding plays was the head-over-head slide to home. Frank Bancer, who wasn’t in school last year, will be another performer in the pitcher’s box. His long hitting has surprised all who have seen him in practice. He is surely one of the longest hitters of the team, hitting the ball farther than most high school batters. On the days when he won’t pitch, he’ll either play at shortstop or in the field. Arnold Larsen, varsity sub of last year, has shown enough ability to be considered as a potent infielder. He can pick up almost anything that comes his way. His only weakness is that he can’t hit very well. Joe Marra, a jay-vee man on almost every team, has at last come into his own. Showing that he can field and bat well, he has proved that right field will be his position this year. Joe Jugan, formerly track star, has given up his chance on the track team and has appeared for baseball. Joe is a good hitter and a fair fielder. He is sure to play plenty this year, both at first base and in the field. Mike Dzubaty is another senior who played in quite a few games this year. He has plenty of pep and fight in him. Mike Babchek, a freshman, is the other pitcher, and although inexperienced, he will have plenty of chances to make good. When he isn’t playing with the varsity, the Jay Vee make good use of him. Edward Struble is another fielder who didn’t play with the Jay Vees last year, but made the varsity the first time out. Mike Dzubaty is converted catcher who is now shagging flies in the field and is fair at hitting. The schedule of which many games are with the cream of New Jersey teams has seventeen games on it. Bert Harris is the manager; Howell Solt, Leo Kaufman and Walt Boysa are assistants. Perth Amboy is one of the five teams entered in the Central Jersey Tournament. We also hope that the team can show its right to be considered in the Greater Newark Tournament. The schedule is as follows: April 16 Faculty Home 20 Asbury Park Home 23 New Brunswick Away 27 Woodbridge Away 28 Trenton Home 30 East Side, Newark Home May 1 Rutgers Freshman Home 4 Carteret Home 7 South River Away 11 Irvington Away 14 New Brunswick Home 18 Carteret Away 21 St. Marys’ P. A. Home 25 Columbus, S. A. Away South River Home June 1 St. Mary’s Away 4 Woodbridge Home Page One Hundred and Pour (In the manner of Edmund Burke) And so, gentlemen, I shall attempt to prove to you that girl athletes are quite as proficient as our brawny boy athletes. You may, as many others, believe that girls cannot master the masculine art of athletics. First, let us introduce to you some of our outstanding examples of feminine prowess. You have, I am sure, heard of the Misses Berris, Zavetz, Eger, Fisher, Gasper, Zak and Munyak, who have shown such marked aptitude in Volleyball. Certainly these shining stars would prove, beyond a doubt, that the weaker sex can stand their ground. Our Senior Volleyball team, comprised of the girls mentioned above, plus the Misses Cheress, Steans, Williams, Moore, Inglis, Fittel, Refi and Stec, emerged victorious, leaving vanquished the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior teams. I do not attempt to mislead you. I cannot hope to convince you with but a single example. Let us look more closely upon their achievements. Under the expert instruction of Miss Alice Bjork and Miss Arnita Kozusko, the Senior Basketball team again proved its superiority with a ball by defeating the Junior team for the championship. If you are bit skeptical as to the sportsmanship of our girl athletes, attendance at a swift game of Soccer would permanently dispel all doubts. Sturdy legs, husky shoulders, and even solid heads are used to obstruct the flying ball, and many a smile conceals a bruised shin. Modified Soccer, nevertheless, has proved one of the most popular sports with the girls. Still, you may say, the fact that girls can handle a ball skillfully does nt mean they are all-around athletes. There arc games that require speed, coordination and even strength, in which most girls would find themselves hopelessly deficient. Take, for instance, Golf, Tennis, Track or Swimming. Yes, indeed, take Golf, Tennis, Track and Swimming. Golf classes have been organized and golf clubs swing briskly in the gymnasium, developing coordination, timing and grace in our fair sex. Tennis? Of course! Some of the girls proved themselves quite adept at this sport. Our track and field meets are always successes and the girls leap and run as agilely as most boys. But w'ait—you think we have struck a snag—no swimming pool adorns our erstwhile school. Nothing, however, can deter a real girl athlete, and many of the girls earn their chevron by joining the Y. W. C. A. or Y. W. H. A. and learning the fundamentals of swimming, diving and life-saving. Despite the abundance of scholastic work and homework, the girls have displayed an admirable spirit of cooperation during 1937. Chevrons are awarded to every girl who participates in practice games and one major game. Ten chevrons merit a small letter while twenty chevrons rate a beautiful, large chenile P. A. If there is any question in your mind as to the girls’ interest in after-school sports, a casual glance at the numerous PA's on sweaters would prove my point. How can you, then, be confident in your conviction that girls cannot put aside their skirts and indulge in a long-legged sprint? With Perth Amboy High School’s set of outstanding girl athletes called to your attention, you must admit that' physical development is quite as important as mental development. In addition to the Volleyball champions, there are a few other girls who must also be included in a list of the outstanding girl athletes in the class of 1937. Among these are Julia Masley, Ruth Meek, Katherine Pollino and Rose Stanisewski. There are a few cases where beauty, brains and brawn are bestowed on one girl, and we have examples of all-around girls like Adelaide Berris, Eleanor Cheress, Claire Steans and Rose Stanisewski who are, among other things, members of the National Honor Society. One of the most popular athletes in high school is Adele Zak. Miss Zak boasts a brilliant, fresh smile for everyone and is as apt at making friends as she is at making baskets. Miss Munyak is rated as ’’high score” girl in Basketball, while Katherine Pollino, Mathilda Pittel, Rose Stanisewski and Adelaide Berris are hailed as top-notchers in a fast-moving game. And so, gentlemen, to my many opponents who would tactlessly argue that a woman’s place is in the home and athletics is a boy’s field, I say—remember Babe Dedrickson once went to high school. HELEN WIENER EVELYN LEVAY Page One Hundred and Five JOastvcord Why should the last word be farewell ? Just the fact that we’ve learned our lessons and completed our courses isn’t reason enough for us to part forever. Wherever we venture it won t be long before we’ll be meeting each other with rejoicing hearts. We have loved the years at Perth Amboy High, and we'll never forget them. We appreciate the associations into which it has brought us, and the friendship of student, teacher, and school. So instead of farewell, though our eyes be tearful and our words trembling with real sincerity we say Until we meet again—good luck!” Norma Wilentz.
