Page Eight SENIOR CLASS HISTORY T his year's Senior Class started the year with thirty-one members, although it now numbers twenty-seven. The four missing are Roland King of Hillside, Bill McGinty from the distant Western plains, Nelson Newcomb from Roselle, and Joe Engelson of Plainfield. We are proud to say that of these, three are enrolled in the service of our country and one is already in college. Of the present members of our class, only four started in the first grade and remained with us until the present. These veterans are David Heilner, Edward Kammler, George Pollard, and Don Williams, all of whom are from Elizabeth. Could these boys hardly have suspected that today, twelve years later, our most honored faculty has possession of the very room in which they began school? The Second, Third, and Fourth Grades found us with no new mem- bers that are in this year's graduating class. However, the Fifth Grade presented us with that bundle of sunshine, that fair blossom of last year's cherry tree, Jim Anderegg, the boy from Colonia. In the Sixth Grade, we received the 42,' football team's handsome passer, Nelson Newcomb. Newk is now a college man and awaits a Naval call in July. May I add that during this year, we were the last class to be taught by Miss Budd? Although we cannot claim a full year under her, we are thankful that we had the privilege of being taught by her. The following year instead of going upstairs as previous classes had done, we remained downstairs in the brand new Middle School Room, and began our First Form under Mr. Vars. Despite the rumor that Mr. Vars' word was law and that his hand was iron, we started the Seventh Grade with two brave recruits: Handsome Harry Heitman from Short Hills Csometimes known as Lester,'j and our class' present and able president, Dexter Lenci from Summit. Our Eighth Grade found us with only one new member. This was John Bundschuh, who by his remarkable brain raised the class average five points. Heretofore our standing balanced precariously at around 60g now it suddenly leaped to 65.
