D., the world was in a turmoil. Its people were divided into two opposing factions; one group frowned upon individualism, and advocated a mechanistic system of life, while the other group cherished the individual s rights to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ and sanctioned the idea of spiritual freedom for all. “When it became evident that the world was not large enough to peacefully contain two governing ideals so fundamentally alienated, men armed, believing that artillery was the only appeaser. At work in the Manual Arts Room “As the Spirit of Democracy, which encouraged intellectual freedom, realized that the final decision would have to germinate from the natural desires of men’s minds, that mind rules over matter, it bade Youth, its future leaders, select that governing pattern which was more conducive to happiness. And when Youth selected the democratic form, the Spirit challenged them to fight to preserve those democratic ideals which they considered essential to a normal life. importance of [Public in a emocracy “And did the Youth of 1941 accept this challenge? O course they did! They stood firmly and determined as they pledged themselves to further the cause of Democracy. They attuned their every thought and action to harmonize with this, their promise to Democracy, ‘To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.’ “You see, they had to. For they realized, and we know now, that it is only by the united, resolute efforts of the Youth of a country that a democratic form of government can be perpetuated !” 1.

Department Meads Page Eight UEMIICRATIC DRGAlVIZATiniV DF Our PrincipalMISS McCORMICK SCRDDL AND ITS ADMINISTRATION IIIIH PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The primary responsibility of secondary schools is to help the young people of this nation gain all understanding of the ideals and conditions of the democratic way of life. If we educate boys and girls, democracy can be effected, for a government will be strong according to the ideals of its citizens. It is important that the schools give attention to the rights, privileges and opportunities of these future citizens and also that special emphasis be placed upon their duties and responsibilities. Training in democratic practices in school life as a preparation for group life after school is afforded by the school activity program. This program serves a two-fold purpose: the development of individuals and the encouragement of co-operation between individuals and groups of individuals. Indeed, the conduct of individuals in a democracy and their co-operation with others are the essentials of a successful state. Rost; McCormick Page Wne DR. WILLIAM C.

With such subjects as English, Civics, and Problems, you have prepared yourself to take up your role in democracy. Your contact with other students and your ability to adjust yourself to all problems have determined whether or not you will be well equipped to help your government solve its problems. Athletic contests also have taught you the real meaning of sportsmanship.

Page fifty-eight HISTORY OF THE SENIOR ELASS The story of the senior class of Nineteen-forty-one Is filled with hope and learning and a little bit of fun. Our high school days were started when freshmen we became; To do the best in all our work was then our foremost aim. Of course we were quite timid and often led astray By jesting upper classmen who knew of our dismay. But we had grit and spirit and enthusiasm too; With this firm foundation, we were destined to go through. Excited and elated, we progressed a year ahead, And now that we were sophomores our doubts and fears had fled. We became more confident and made a score of friends. Joined in all activities, observed the latest trends. Our loyalty was doubled for the Crimson and the White; At games we showed school spirit and cheered with all our might. Our joys became unmeasured and our happiness profound When we found ourselves treading on upper class ground. At clubs and in sports we competed with pride. For privileges were ours which once were denied. Juniors in High School—our goal now almost gained— Yet one cherished year before us remained. As seniors we were full of joy and walked the halls with pride, Yet the thought of graduation made us sorrowful inside. Our class had originality and marked distinction too. We scoffed at old traditions, always thought of something new. We set aside convention, for on graduation night We took away diplomas in gowns of black and white. When Mr. Ramsey left us at the end of our third year, We were sorry and dejected and felt a wee bit drear. In his stead as principal, Miss McCormick was employed, And when we heard the good news our hearts were overjoyed. We’re thrown upon this busy world; now our high school days are o’er; Some will live quite naturally and some to heights will soar, But no matter where we’ll be, what heartaches we’ve been through, We’ll ne’er forget our high school and friends and pals we knew.

To attain this, it is essential that we develop knowledge, ideals, and habits. Extra-curricular activities offer an admirable field for the development of the good citizen, since these activities present many opportunities to learn in concrete situations suitable knowledge, high ideals, and proper habits. To be a well-rounded individual, each boy and girl must participate in activities of several fields which include sports, music, dramatics, debating, and clubs. Participation prepares the student for active life in a democracy by developing his self-reliance, teaching social co-operation, developing school morale, fostering sentiments of law and order, and developing qualities of initiative and leadership. Many students in the Perth Amboy High School, through such participation, are preparing themselves to assume their places in the community by learning how to get along with people, by respecting the opinions of others, and by participating in the life of the school.

Page Seventy-five Leaders of Annual Staff STRIVING TOWARD Chemistry Club in Action Page Seventy-six SELF REALIZATION Democracy emphasizes the individual, his hopes and aspirations. It stresses initiative, self-reliance, resourcefulness, and duty. It presumes an educated citizenry capable of making intelligent decisions and choices. The great majority of parents of our graduates are foreign born. In one generation many of our young people, from backgrounds of little or no formal schooling, have risen to positions of distinction in business, trades, professions, and community leadership. They have been bearers of the tradition of initiative and courage which brought their ancestors across three thousand miles of water to a strange land, language, and life. Democracy’s gospel of reward for merit recognizes no predisposition of class Its aim is to educate all according to their talent and ability. On youth rests the duty of taking full advantage of these opportunities to better serve self, family, and country. The rich heritage of our land is in the fiber of our young people.

Vagt Ninety-three The Football Panthers of 1940-41 had the material, spirit, and the all-important coaching skill which are necessary for a championship team. They had a brilliantly snappy backfield which had the support of an impregnable line. Soon after the start of the season, however, it became evident that the team was “in for it.” The team was plagued with many minor injuries and finally lost two of its star men when Budzeleski and Rosaluk were injured and benched for the season. To fill the gap left by Budzeleski, who had been most promising at fullback, Coach Rosen shifted Fred Webber, then an end, to the kingpin position. Here he clicked immediately, sparking many plays with his running and passing, going on to capture the top scoring honors of the team. But one man cannot play for a whole team. He needed, and got, the able assistance of Lou Csakai, Lou Szcg, and Chet Straub in the backfield while Bob Goldberger and Marty Mizenko marshalled the line to greater efficiency. Playing the toughest schedule imaginable and, at times, coming from behind to win, the numerical record does not begin to relate the many moments of suspense and colorful plays that were part of their games. They won their first game by beating Linden, only to suffer a double defeat at the hands of Camden and Asbury Park. They went on to win the City Championship by defeating St. Mary’s in a closely-fought contest. Their momentary good fortune was brought to an abrupt end here with another double defeat from Woodbridge Prtfje Windy four and New Brunswick. But the Panthers rallied P. A. OPP dramatically to make a twin killing of South 13 Linden 7 River and Irvington, only to be stopped in their 0 Camden 13 final game by Carteret. 7 Asbury Park 14 Through this entire schedule the Panthers 7 ... St. Mary’s 6 displayed a spirit of strong determination to 6 Woodbridge 13 light for victory. It is this spirit that the Foot- 0 New Brunswick 20 ball Panthers of 1940-41 pass along to the Foot- 10 ... South River 7 ball Panthers of 1941-42. 12 Irvington 7 Ben Sosna, ’41 0 Carteret 20 Paijc ?linety-fivc BASKET The Perth Amboy quintet ended its 1941 cage season with a record of ten victories against eight defeats. This campaign was marked by a wave of alternate winning and losing streaks which were sparked by frequent exhibitions of brilliant play. The Panthers opened the season with three victories, over the Alumni, Morristown, and Camden, only to lose the next three games to Trenton, Carteret, and Asbury Park. An inspired victory over New Brunswick by an overwhelming score began a four-game winning streak concluded when Camden reversed a previous Panther victory by a 23-20 count. Defeats at the hands of New Brunswick and Asbury Park followed in rapid succession. This three-game losing streak was snapped when the Panthers subdued St. Mary’s in their first meeting, 38-26. Following a victory over Garfield, a newcomer to Amboy’s schedule, Amboy again retained the city championship with a convincing 49-25 victory over St. Mary’s. In the State Tournament, the Panthers were defeated in the opening round by Asbury Park. This was far from an inglorious end to the season since Asbury Park went on to win the State Group IV laurels. V ui? A'i rely-iix Throughout the season the Amboyans were classed as a fast, dangerous five. While frequently flashing championship form, the Panthers were lacking an essential to consistent performance—poise. This was shown when Amboy failed to hold substantial leads on many occasions and thereby lost important contests. Captain Tony Buckiew'icz led the scorers for the second season in succession with 167 points. Lloyd Reick w-as second with 123 and Cliff Weitzen a close third with 121 points. Coach Reznichak will begin his third season as coach handicapped by the loss of his starting five, Buckiewicz, Weitzen, Reick, Zetkulics and Kjersgaard.

The point getters were: Joe Mauro, Roy Pollino, Andy Save!, Howard Palmer, Mike Farinich, Eli Gordon, Paul Lane, Howard Skelton, Johnny Kocsis, Alex Suto and Tony Dragotta.

Re-organizing in September, the team opened the 1940-41 indoor season at Dickinson. Because of inexperience, the Panther varsity failed to garner points at the Sunday Call meet at Newark for the state championships, Eli Gordon placed second in the high hurdles and Mike Farinich took a fourth in the 880-yard run. Next the National Interscholastics at Madison Square Garden where Eli Gordon gained national distinction for himself and his school as he won the 60-yard high hurdles. Mike Farinich placed 8th in the 1000-yard run in the same meet. Running their last indoor meet at Elizabeth, the Panthers concluded a successful indoor season. Bi.rnard W.

Page Ninety nine T E IV IV I S One is quite handicapped in writing about tennis because last year’s season lias been forgotten and this article must go to press before this year’s season has begun. However, we are able to hazard some predictions and tell of the players on the squad. The team is composed largely of veterans. Remaining from last year’s Central Jersey Championship team are Cliff Weitzen, Bob Weiner, Lenny Rosenberg, Seymour Miller, Roland Winter and Bob Levine. A welcome addition to the team is Charles Oliver. The team has two state champions in its ranks in the forms of Cliff Weitzen, Junior Champion and Charles Oliver, Boy’s Champion. Coach Wolfe has entered the Eastern Interscholastic tournament at the William Howard Taft High School, New York, and the Princeton Invitation matches. He has expressed high hopes for a conference championship and an undefeated season. We all share these hopes with Coach Wolfe and we are sure that this year’s team will maintain the high rating that preceding Amboy High School tennis squads have established. Bkrnard W.

Page One Hundred GIRLS' SPORTS Girls’ Sports in P.A.H.S. are continually making forward strides in the advancement of the mental as well as the physical ability of the participants. A spectator at any of the sports events would note with interest not only the athletic ability of the girls but also the code of good sportsmanship under which they play. Our gymnasium is one of the best equipped of its size in this section and provides for almost any sport except swimming which can be conveniently had at the local Y’s. In our freshman year we had an idea of what was expected of us in the various activities. We plunged into the sophomore year of fun and action. One of the factors which induced us to play the game with more zest was the fact that a girl who had ten chevrons at the end of her junior year was entitled to a felt “PA,” and twenty chevrons at the finish of the senior year was rewarded with a chenille “PA. A chevron is earned at the completion of any event during the year. In our last year we were satisfied that we had learned what it is to co-operate and to stand by the motto of P.A.H.S.: Win or lose, Us just the same, Our only aim is to play the game. Carolyn Dickson Frances Heath Vatje One Hundred One When they line up at the beginning of this baseball season, the Panthers will face the strongest high school baseball teams of the state. Opening Thursday, April 10, with the Alumni, the Rosenmen will play Newark Central, the only newcomer on the schedule who has replaced the Rutger’s Freshmen. With many last year’s regulars returning, Coach Rosen’s prospects for a brilliant baseball team seem very encouraging. Although they have lost such brilliant players as Bob Bilgrav, John Pitonak, Joseph DeRasmi, Raymond Milcsik and Joe Ziznewski, the Panthers have six lettermen returning. Coach Rosen has a complete mound staff returning in Fred Webber, Pat Mola and Edward Szmania. The infield will be composed of Frank DeRasmi on first base, Fred Kjersgaard on second base, Stephen Hucko at short and Johnnie Herceg or Fred Webber on third base. The catching assignment will be divided between Thomas Mar-frici and Walter Rosaluk. The battle for the outfield positions should be worth watching since none of the three positions are cemented. With the returning lettermen and promising members of last year’s Junior Varsity, the Panthers will undoubtedly come through with a victorious season.

Page One Hundred 7our LAST WORD We must keep in our minds that only so long as we seek the higher plane of living, the democratic way, shall we find it; and only so long as we desire it, shall we find a way to keep it. Because our future is a brighter one than that of student-graduates in other lands; and because our guarantee of a normal, liberal life lasts only so long as Democracy itself exists, we, the American Youth, must forever keep the spirit of the necessity for Freedom, Tolerance, and Respect a vital part of our actions. Then we’ll preserve Democracy. Page One Hundred 7ive NEW JERSEY BEAUTY CULTURE ACADEMY Qraduates HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF YOUR FUTURE ? ? ?
