Page MARIE VAN NOORDT D. A. R. Award This year the coveted D.A.R. award went to Marie Van Noordt, selected by her senior classmates on the basis of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Little hesitation was involved on their part in the selection since it was clearly evident that Marie possessed all of these qualities plus a pleasing personality and a willingness to cooperate. Sponsored by the Hester Schuyler Colfax Chapter she made the Good Citizenship pilgrimage to Trenton. Ther: she became acquainted with many award win- ners from other parts of the state. Needless to say, Marie deserved this honor, and we feel that she is one of those few who possess the formula for success. BILL SAN WALD Outstanding Senior The choice of an outstanding senior is an acknowledgment made this year for this first time. The selection is made on the basis of leadership ability, cooperation, sportsmanship, and all-around friendship and popularity. This year, the senior class has chosen Bill Sanwald for this honor. Student Council president and orator extraordinary, Bill is a familiar figure around school. Always ready with a sharp quip or crack, he adds much to our social as well as academic side of life. To be selected as the most outstanding from an entire class is indeed an honor, an honor truly given to its rightful owner when bestowed on Bill Sanwald.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT One of the required subjects in all schools is English. The students of our ol' alma mater are indeed fortunate in having such a fine trio of instructors for this subject. Miss Bartnik, Mrs. Westberg, and Mrs. Kivet impart large quantities of knowledge concerning correct usage, English literature, American literature, and punctuation. In addition to their teaching duties, each of these teachers takes an active part in extra- curricular activities around school. Mrs. Westberg, Mrs. Kivet, Miss B1rtn k FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT To speak the tongue of another land is the ambition of many, and quite a possible one in our Alma Mater. If you desire to ex- plore Julius Caesar or Cicero's writings, Miss Nelson will supply your Latin background. If your interest is in speaking the language of the French, Miss Riedel is your teacher. Miss Stegner will teach you how to speak Spanish like a native, if you so desire. Miss Stegner, Miss Nelson, M ss Redel Af., SOCIAL STUDIES V -..- DEPARTMENT X Should Franklin D. Roosevelt run for a fourth term? This is one of the many time- ly topics which the senior P.A.D. students and Miss Lindsley debate upon. Mr. Parr, a new addition to our faculty, has taken over the U. S. history classes where the juniors learn how our country has become a world power, while Miss Corn familiarizes her classes with the geographical background of our country.

Coach Ben- son greets the boys with a friendly smile, then drives them till they drop. The girls, gym work, guided by Miss Stuart, allows the fair sex to enjoy organized games of volleyball and basketball. Should a mishap occur here, or should someone feel ill, the unfortunate is sent to Miss St. Leger, who brings about repairs in short order. Miss St. Leger, Mr. Benson, Miss Stuart Page 5 ad...

WE BRUCE OGILVIE Vice-President After our president enlisted, our vice- president, Bruce Ogilvie, stepped into his place. In spite of being busy, Bruce took time out from his athletics to lend a helping hand to his class. He seems quiet, but don't let that fool youg he's as full of pep as his smile indicates. His subtle wit is strictly on the beam. We all agree that he can't bc matched. MARIE VAN N OORDT Secretary et Give it to Marie, she'll do it, is a com- mon slogan among the seniors. A more will- ing person would be hard to find. She's a friend to all and is never lacking in giving a helping hand to her classmates. Her per- sonality is A-l-, and everyone appreciates her ready smile. So here's to you, Marie, may you have all the success that you deserve. JAMES ROE Senior President In addition to showing real prowess on the gridiron, Jimmy Roe put forth some earnest efforts as president of our senior class. Al- though he left us in mid year for service in the Army Air Corps, Jim was working for us all the time. His pleasant personality made him many friends and really helped him to do his job right. LUFTY SENIURS AUDREY STRASSER Treasurer Have you seen that attractive little senior running so busily throughout the school? That's our treasurer, Audrey Strasser. She left Pompton in her sophomore year to at- tend Kingston High in New York State, but returned here in her junior year to graduate with her class. Audrey managed to keep track of our funds in spite of being busy with outside activities. Page 7
