FOUR OUR CAPTAIN MR. MICHAEL E. MALONEY All hands, on deck for a company salute to our captain, Mr. Maloney! Since our commander is a man who was born and reared in our home port, it is proper he should be given the task of guiding our ship. Mr. Maloney began his education in the Iohn Freeman grade school. He graduated from Phillipsburg High School, located in a building which is now City Hall, with nine- teen in his graduating class. He then attended Lafayette College and se- cured an A. B. degree. In his first position, he was a land lubber for he worked for the Pennsyl- vania Railroad as a member of the engineering staff at Iersey City. He began giving orders to his first crew in 1904 when he began teaching in the Sitgreaves building. In 1905, he moved to his flagship, Phillipsburg High School. It was in his first year of teaching in the High School that he took charge of Pliillipsburgs football team. Our captain coached football in our port from 1905-1951. The team he considered the most ship shape was the one of the year 1918. They were chosen as State Champions. Mr. Maloney is often called the father of football in our home port. Mr. Maloney has always enjoyed giving orders to his crew and guiding his ship to safety. His parting orders to his crew of 1944 is to continue their voyage into the future as they had planned, regardless of the world's present condition.

FIRST MATEH MR. RAYMOND LERCH Mr. Raymond Lerch, Graduate V A' A ii of Lafayette with an A. B. degree, is the First Mate of our good ship. He has taught many a tar how to take an order and he also sees that orders are given and car- ried our. After many years on the high seas, his humorous ways are hidden in a stern expression. He is master of the brig and may be seen strolling the decks in search of stragglers and shirkers. HIS OFFICERS I-leave Ho! My Heartiesl Our ship, like every good ship has its officers. They are the ones who help us weather the four stormy years of our High School Education. They keep our course steady with the ship's bow headed ever toward home port. With the sails hoisted they steer us clear of calms and rough weather. The crew respects them because of their experience and like all good sailors, obey their commands with a hearty Aye, Aye, Sir! Several of our officers are now serving their country. FIVE
