Alma Mater To Thee, the school we love so well, A swelling song we raise, Ol classroom, field and track, we tell The record of our days. And we, thy sons and daughters give Our bold and ardent loyally. To work, to strive, to ever live, Perth Amboy High, tor Thee, To work, to strive, to ever live, Perth Amboy High, for Thee. Though years may pass, the way be long, With many a bruising fall, Then taint at first, but growing strong, There rings thy clarion call: Arise, fight on tor victory! Though weak, the goal must still be won. For truth, tor right, tor honesty. Perth Amboy High leads on! PGRTH nmBOY HIGH SCHOOL PERTH flfllBOY neuj JERSEY This year's theme, Mobilization for Victory, is appropriate not only for the Class of 1943 of Perth Amboy High School, but also for all the classes of 1943 throughout the country. We are the beginning of an important generation to whom this present turmoil means more than to any one else; for many of us are about to undertake the responsibilities of important positions in the Armed Forces and in Defense Plants. Others, as in former years, will continue to prepare for varied careers. The outcome of the present war will lie chiefly in our hands, and it is important that the outcome be the right one. Shall we enjoy the fruits of victory or the gall of defeat? We take quite a leap from the secure environment of a school to a large world filled with bitter conflicts. Yet the preparation we have received here for this change will enable us to appreciate more the advantages of an education and the pleasant memory of the experiences that come with it. It will also encourage us in the fight for our fundamental rights and the preservation of them. We will enioy the fruits of victory! i MICHAEL SATTILARO EDWARD HERBERT ALBERT M.

Gasior HOSE M 0 BILIZIN G FOR VICTORY You, the Class of 1943, may well feel proud of your record in mobilizing for victory. Your nation has mobilized you; that is, called you into action and you have responded nobly to that call. You have proved that your class is ready and willing to stand up and fight for the ideals which have always characterized true Americans. You have carried out a program which has demanded work and sacrifice and devotion from each one of you. You have put aside plans for your future to prepare to enter the armed forces. Some of your classmates have already answered the call. The majority of you, however, have chosen to remain in school and to complete your courses in order to be better prepared to take your places in the armed ranks. You have experienced the conversion of your school from education for peace to education for war. This change you have accepted without complaint because you realized that you were being better equipped for a place in winning the war either in the armed forces or in essential civilian occupations. You have responded generously to every appeal made to you by your city and country. Your generosity has placed your school foremost among those in the state. On behalf of the school may I express my appreciation to you for your unselfish contribution. Perth Amboy High School will always remember you. When you leave its portals, you will carry the good wishes of the faculty and the student body. You may be sure that we shall endeavor to live up to the high standards that you have set. You will go out into the world with energy and resolution, conscious that those whom you have left behind will see you through 'to victory. ROSE McCORMICK JAMES F.

FOOTBALL To begin with, our former coach, Tex Rosen, enlisted, leaving in his place a new coach, Joseph Reznichak, to work on the “T formation with only one varsity player remaining. On September 26 the team traveled to Hillside where they played poorly. Score 34-0. The next game, at Camden, was tough. Tony Brown, at the kick-off ran 75 yards for the first touchdown. Camden won, 12-6, when she took to the air. The next game, with Asbury, was dropped, 14-0. On October 17 Amboy met East Side, Newark, battling it out, 7-0, because of poor passing defense. On October 31, we held New Brunswick to a 0-0 score in the first half, but in the second, the Zebras recovered and, playing as a new team, won, 19-0. Searching for a victory, Amboy went to South River where, with great support from Alfie Weber and Pete Manger, the team won, 20-7. Playing Kearny at home on November 14, Amboy again playing wonderful ball, defeated the opponents, 13-0. In the traditional Thanksgiving game, Carteret won, 26-14, by taking advantage of Amboy's poor passing defense. BASKETBALL Amboy completed one of the best seasons of any Amboy team and clinched the State Conference Championship by trouncing Trenton, SB-44. The Blue Bishops of Asbury defeated the Panthers in the sectional finals of the State Tournament, going on to win the championship by defeating Trenton in the State finals. The city championship also went to the Panthers by virtue of their twin victories over St. Mary's. Captain Bill Buglovsky, leading scorer, was named on the All-State second team.

Trenton and New Brunswick were each mauled three times. Nine teams were beaten, including New Brunswick and St. Mary's twice and Trenton once. The Blue Bishops then broke up the victories. In the State Tournament the Panthers defeated Phillipsburg before succumbing to the jinx.

TENNIS Last year the Tennis Team, coached by Donald Wolfe, fought its way to the finals of the Interscholastic Invitation Tennis Tournament at Princeton. This year the squad hopes to do better because a large number of last year's players will be on hand. Coach Wolfe will build his team this year around the spectacular Charley Oliver, a name linked with tennis in Perth Amboy. Charley, ranked among the best junior tennis players in the country by the National Lawn Tennis Association, will undoubtedly set himself up as an example for other netsters. Besides Oliver, the squad will be made up of such dependable players as Jack Weiss, Leo Kaufman, Robert Wilentz, Harvey Karkus, William Sewitch, and Dorvin Rosenberg. At the time of going to press we are sure of four matches, but the coach has hinted that intramural competition may be given a try-out. Front, left to right: Nicholas Holinka, Sam D'Amico, Alfred Webber, Captain John Fulton, Dan Schumacher, Don Deverini, Walter Staniszewski, Anthony Hubka Rear: Manager Harry Koons, Edward Myslinski, Mario St. Marie, Anthony Stagliano, John Zanzalari, Francis Roskey, Matthew Drwal, Edward Perkowski. Coach Joseph Reznichak Missing: Ralph Schimmel, Charles Bulvanoski BASEBALL Having five victories, two against New Brunswick and Woodbridge and one against the Alumni, and with no losses as we go to press, the Panther's coach, Joseph Reznichak, looks forward to a very hopeful season. With only John Fulton of last year's regulars left, the coach has been filling in the vacant positions with promising results. The infield consists of Sam Damico, John Fulton, Dan Deverin, Nick Holinka, while the catcher's slot is filled by Mario St. Marie. In the outfield positions are Tony Hubka, Ed Myslinski, Walter Staniszewski and Francis Roskey. To hurl for the Panthers are John Fulton, Alfred Webber, Walter Staniszewski. Harry Koons will manage the team. The Panthers have a tough schedule ahead of them, playing some of the strongest teams in the state. The schedule is as follows: SCHEDULE April 29 Alumni Home May 1 New Brunswick, two. .. ..Away May 4 Woodbridge ..Home May 7 Woodbridge ..Away May 13 Asbury Park Away May 14 P. Amboy-St. Mary's...

With this achievement in view, our Board of Education has instituted a varied list of sports for girls especially. In the girls' department the classes are started off with basketball in September, then volleyball, kickball, soccer, and archery. This year, however, due to the war, physical fitness exercises have been added to this program. These games are participated in by the girls with a real pleasure. Continued efforts and participation in afterschool sports are recognized by awards to the individual student, whose endeavor is, as a rule, to receive the much-sought-for chenille P A. All of these sports are of health benefit to the student and are of aid to our country in building strong bodies and clear minds. Such things lead to a spirit of loyalty to one's country. Our best defense is strength through the pleasure of exercise. Although sports have been affected somewhat by wartime conditions, Coach Klein has developed a track team that ranked with the best. Veterans from last year enabled him to do this, as well as a number of underclassmen. Schedule February 7 Madison Square Garden, P.S.A.L. Co-Capt.
