On September l8, the results of the election for class officers showed Gertrude O'Malley, president, Allen H-erer, vice-president, Catherine Murphy, secretary, and Janet Kennedy, treasurer. Meetings were held every other,Thursday under the advisership of 'Miss Evelyn Wise and Edward G. Perrine. ' V The school musical comedy, Gypsy Rover, inaugurated the year's activities, finding a large contingent of Juniors dancing, singing, acting, and even selling tickets. December 6 marked the Junior-Football Dance to fete th eclose of the football season. The husky football players were generously presented lolly-pops! Allen Herer was general- chairman, assisted by- twenty members of the class. To replenish the dwindling treasury, the motion picture, Western Unionf' was sponsored at the Rahway Theater on the eighth of April. r Robert Pohl and Catherine Murphy were co-chairmen of the activity which closed a busy year. This was the Junior-Senior Reception given in honor of the graduating Seniors by the Juniors who will step up to fill their vacant places and valiantly attempt to fulfill the high standards set by them.

Then they came to the new building and joined the other classes in working to make our musical comedy a success. Late in April the Sophomores had their annual party, using the Circus as their central theme. Frank Charniga is the president of the Sophomore Class: George Logoida, vice-presidentg Zolton Popp, treasurerg and Anna Smith, secretary. Charles W. Stokes and Miss Henrietta Coerler are the class advisers. FRESHMAN CLASS The opening activity on the calendar for the first Freshman Class in the new High School was the election of class officers. Edward Lance was elected president: Barbara Feller, vice-presidentg Joseph Shelke, secretary, and .Alex Kempa, treasurer. The advisers have been Miss Imogen McClellan, Mrs. Marie Dalton, and Herbert Wehrlen, who succeeded ' Richard Nash when he left for Fort Dix. The C-ypsy Rover gave the treasury a good start. Many of the Freshmen helped to paint scenery, and to sell candy and tickets. Both boys' and girls' freshman basketball teams did surprisingly well. The boys scored victories over Cranford, Scotch Plains, and Shull. The girls defeated Chatham and Orange. Page Thi rty-two . ,. 11:0 H. 'r- -' W, - 'il 'I Cheerleode rs Rahway - Rahway -- Rahway - Yea, Team!!! lf you had gently opened the gym door, you would have seen the cheering squad, thirteen girls and three boys, hard at work every Wednes- day and Friday afternoon during the football and basketball. sea- sons. At all of the football and bas- ketball games, the Cheerleaders were always at their best and gave the student body spirit. At the beginning of the football season, the Cheerleaders sponsored the first social event of the year, the Kick-Off Dance, which was a huge success. During the year, they sold feathers and pins to raise money for their treasury. At all the assemblies, the Cheerlead- ers were ready to put pep finto the student body. His squad would not be what it is, if it were not for the untiring efforts of their adviser, Melvin Reed. X , l 1 Page Thirty 'five 1 Ally f l QD QW 1 . ill , W 4- 1 0 rrr l . .

Not many of the students realized the great amount of prac- tice this required. This club has a membership of thirty-nine girls. At every foot- ball game, the Boosters sold foot- ball programs which contained the names, positions, and weights of the football players printed on them. At the end of the unde- feated season of our football team, the Boosters gave a foot- ball banquet in honor of our team. The members elected the fol- lowing officers: president, Irma Fodorg vice-president, Doris Mc- Intyre, treasurer, Doris C-aydosg recording secretary, Helen Jan- kowskyg corresponding secretary, Helen Marusg commander, Luella Burton. Melvin Reed is the club's adviser. FGGTBALL T Under the excellent guidance of Coach Earl Hoagland and Assistant Coach Joseph Beradelli, and through the splendid efforts of the Squad, Rahway High School produced its first undefeated foot- ball teamfolr many years. The first month was spent running, blocking, tackling, passing, kicking, and running plays until perfec- tion was reached. The team showed its superiority against a much bigger Morristown team in the opening game of the season by winning l9 to 7. ln' the second game of the season, Rahway ,completely toppled Thomas Edison Vocational School by a score of 25 to. 6. After three scoreless periods, the varsity defeated the Alumni by a score of 7 to O. The two words on every student's lips in the high school for the next week were, Beat Linden! , as this team is our major rival. The boys sure did beat them, by a score of l9 to O for the first time in ten years. The next team on our football schedule was undefeated Cranford. The team again revealed its superior brand of football and won by a 'score of l2 to O. Rahway next played the undefeated RoselletPark team and again emerged the victor,by a score of l4 to O. Rahway scored decisive victories over Roselle and Union by scores of 32 to l3 and 34 to 7 respectively. The final game of the season was played against Regional on Thanksgiving Day. After four hard-fought periods, Rahway emerged the victor by a score of l3 to 9. Rahway was placed second in the state of all the Group Three Schools. The selection of Jenkins, Wilson, and Schweitzer on all-state and all-county teams concluded a football season which will be remembered for many years. The members of the team were Ted Wilson, Fred Jenkins, co- captainsg William Wood, Alex Kosiarski, Frank Shupper, Carol Smith, Arthur Schweitzer, Paul Angelo, Joseph Kobersky, David Mack, Richard Hurd, Calvin Alston, George Charniga, Ernest Parks, George Keller, Joseph Lovas, Robert Middleton, William Bellinger, Charles Babilya, Elwell Clendenny, Roland Randolph, Andrew Lovas, Louis Sisto, Robert Westerlund, James Bonnor, Charles Becker, Robert McFadden, Alan Wood, Gilbert Brown, Lucius Lucky, William Luckyg William -McBride, Manager. ' i if l , Page Thirty-six BASKETBALL This year the varsity basketball team coached by Earl Walter enjoyed a very successful season by winning the County and Big-Five Conference Championships. ln the opening game of the season, Rahway defeated a highly-rated Trenton team by a score of 3l to 25 as an excellent start in the new highschool gymnasium. Rahway next defeated Plainfield and Cranford before engaging Rutherford, the defending State Champions. Several mistakes proved very costly and Rutherford won by a score of 30 to 25. Throughout the regular season, the team won lO of l6 games, making impressive victories over Linden, Regional, Orange, and Roselle Park. ln the County Tournament, Edison, Pingry, and Thomas Jefferson proved themselves unworthy opponents of our sharp-shooting courtsters. After four breath-taking periods of play, the Rahway team defeated Hillside by a score of 32 to 24 and were crowned the Union County Champions. Rahway engaged Regional in a play-off to determine the champion of the Big-Five Conference since both teams had lost two games in their respective schedules. Our boys. played a smart game and by freezing the ball in the closing minutes of the game emerged the victor by a score of 41 to 38. In the State Tournament, Rahway defeated West'field in the opening game by a score of '59 to 34. ln the State Sectional play-off, two foul shots failed to their mark in the closing minutes of the game and Rahway lost to Hillside, the score being l9 to 20. Shupper and Jenkins were selected on All-State Teams and Hoodzow received honorable mention. The team was recognized as one of the best in the state and received many complimentary comments. - The members of the team were Frank Shupper, Captain, Fred Jenkins, Alex Hoodzow, Edward Hoagland, Daniel Nyimicz, George Charniga, Peter Terpak, Harry Mathis, Albert Anderson, Carol Smith, Robert McFadden, Joseph Buoni, James Bonner, Joseph Lovas, Glenn Blood, Allen Herer, Raymond Florian, Ernest Parks, Daniel Randolph, Richard Hurd, Robert Carlisle, Thomas Moran, Albert Berich, Fred Bechtold, Frank Charniga, Daniel Alfano, William McBride, Manager. Page Thirty-seven Ereshmon Boseboll .Another of the innovations around our high school is a Fresh- man baseball team. Lester Mil- ler coaches the boys, and they practice at'the County Park. The Park diamond is also the scene of their home games. Tryouts for the teams were held in much the same manner as they were for the varsity nine. At the present stage of the game it looks as if there will- be some promising teams at Rahway H-igh in the next year or so. The schedule consists of-games with Roselle Park, Cran- ford, Linden, Roselle, Westfield, and Cranford. . Vorsity Boseboll This is the second year of var- sity baseball in Rahway High. The call for players was given in the early spring. The outfielders and the infielders did very little work until the weather permitted outdoor practice, but the pitchers and catchers rounded themselves into fair shape with some work in the gym. Practice for the first few weeks was held in the area in back of the school and after that on the diamond in the Union County Park. The first game was held on April 26 with the Alumni, resulting in a win for the high school. The next game was with the Edison Vocational School from Elizabeth, at the County Park, and Al Anderson's homer in the ninth inning decided this thrilling game by a 9-8 score. The team is playing a thirteen game schedule this year. Earl C. Hoagland coaches the team. Page Thirty-eight Golf The Rahway High School golf team looks like state champion- ship material. There are a num- ber of members of ,last year's squad on hand this year. The qualifying rounds held off on April Zl and 28. The team won its first match with Roselle Park by a score of l7V2 to V2. The home course is that of the Col- onia Country Club, and the coach of the team is Robert A. Coan. Other teams on the schedule are Neptune, Metuchen, Regional, Bernardsville, Roselle Park, Rut- gers Freshmen. To date the team is undefeated after four games. Squad members are Dan Billy, Dan Nyimicz, Peter Terpak, Henry Donchevsky, C-eorge Char- niga, Steve Saley, Joe Lovas, Andy Lovas, and William Amorelli. l Page Thirty-nine Hoc key The Rahway High School Hockey Team of l94O-4l, coach- ed by Howard Kelley, won one game and lost three during the season.

The girls had a highly suc- cessful season. Not only did they make many profitable social con- tacts, but they also won lO games out of l8 games played. Miss Elysia Philipp is coach. When Orange came to Rahway, approximately lOO girls partici- pated. There were six games- Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, upper-class, and lower- class. There were two contests -foul shooting and shoot-and- recover. When all playing was ended, the girls went to the cafeteria, for refreshments. En- tertainment, cheers, and dancing followed. This is a typical Play Day for Girls. T Girls' Swimming Teom The H-igh School girls' swim- ming team has not been in the limelight very much this year, but they've been in there with that same old fight. The addition of a few Freshmen has helped to strengthen the team. Captain Luella Burton led the girls in a meet against Westfield, the team anticipates a return meet with Westfield and meets with Orange and Perth Amboy. Every Tuesday night at 6:30 at the Y. M. C. A. is practice night under the instruction of Miss Eugenia Miller, 'the coach. Miss Eylsia Philipp is the adviser. This year graduation will take its toll of five members from the team- Luella Burton, Irma Fodor, Helen Marus, Gloria Tyler, and Evelyn Hauser. if S sg I SX. JJ :J , '.. X .

There will be meets with the Roselle, Regional, Cranford, Linden, and Perth Amboy teams, and the members of the squad are look- ing for the Union County Cham- pionship and the State Cham- pionship. Coach Harry Hanf is doing a great job with the squad. . GI RLS' SPORTS For the first time in many years the girls of Rahway High School were able to have a regular program of sports. During the girls' regular gym periods, they were taught the fundamental procedures of the games. Early fall saw the girls trying their skill at archery which seemed to find a spot in a few hearts. During basketball season the girls tried to out-play the boys, and teams were formed from the four classes of girls. A little later volley ball was started and games were played between the different classes. Some of the girls took up table tennis and badminton because these appealed to them more than basketball and volley ball. A few of the girls formed a swimming team, which had meets with other schools. Some of the older girls decided that they would like bowling and so special days were given to this sport. Q As spring came, so the summer sports came to Rahway High School, and the girls took their tennis rackets and golf clubs out of the moth balls. Many of the girls turned to tennis while a few of. the girls chose golf. When it got warmer, soft ball teams were formed, and the girls had a good chance to show how much power they could put behind their bats. This entire program would not have been carried out if it had not been for Miss Elysia Phillip, who helped the girls in every sport. Page Forty-one concluding event of Youth Week. All the schools in Rahway participated. Boys' lntromurol r Sports Every boy in the gym classes played in the intramural basket- ball league this year. Sixty-eight teams were formed in the classes, playing in a round-robin tourna,-5 ment. As you walked down 'the' halls, you may have heard a fel- low telling how he led dear old Purdue or Michigan State onfto victory. You probably looked' at him twice and then decided a fish story was in the air. No, you were wrong. Each team in the league was named after some college, therefore, his statement was ,quite right. The first eight teams played in an elimination tournament, held after school, to determine the championship team. After some close games, Chattanooga finally won. This team was composed of C. Logoida, C-. Logoida, R. Nebling, S. Min- auro, and A. Vastano. Next on the intramural pro- gram was the ping pong tourna- ment. There were lO9 entries, and an elimination tournament l was run off after school. ln the finals, P. Chodosh defeated C. Repkie for the school champion- ship. l The softball league began shortly after the first of May. There were four teams, and the games were played on Tuesday l and Wednesday afternoons at three o'clock. l Earl C. Hoagland conducted the intramural basketball league and l the ping pong tournament, and the softball program was in charge of Earl H.

Notionol Honor Society, Chopter i575 The National Honor Society inaugurated a new means of serv- ice to the school and community this year-the information desk which is in the outer hall of our new building. They've been do- ing other things too,-serving as guides for the sectional meet- ings of the superintendents of the schools throughout northern New Jersey and the Northern New Jersey Association of Secondary School Principals, conducting open forums in assembly, foster- ing elaborate plans for National Education Week, inducting new members, acting on the commit- tee of the Distinguished Service Award, and having one great big party with plenty of fun and refreshments. ln case you're in- terested-the S.

Page Forty-five Student Council Whenever any group or or- ganization in Rahway High School is in straitened circumstances or is in need of advice or financial help, they go to the Student Council for aid--and usually get it. This Student Council, which is composed of one representative from each home room, is responsi- ble for the spirit of the school- and that's a mighty important responsibilityl Through the 623 paid memberships to the General Organization, the Student Council were able to finance the trans- portation of the band and the cheerleaders to all the football and basketball games, they were responsible for the selling of tickets to all football and basket- ball games. We thank them for the beautiful Christmas tree that stood in the front hall at Christ- mas time, and they sponsored the Thanksgiving Basket Assembly supplying needy families with wholesome food to tide them over the holidays. Joseph D. Person is the adviser of this beneficent organization, Jack Somerindyke, president, Charles Johnson, vice- president, Marie Ciarricco, sec- retary, and Anna Remeta, treas- urer. l I Q 4 l l . Librory Council l Q Under supervision of 'Miss Anne .Vail, the Library Council has be- come an indispensable part of Rahway High School. The Li- brary Council gives high school students excellent training in .library work and an opportunity -to be of great service to their school. Duties of librarians are many: helping pupils locate books, charg- ing books, putting volumes on proper shelves, and repairing books. The librarians are asked to work in the library two periods a week aiding Miss Vail. This group holds monthly meetings of social and business nature. The club sponsored a Book Week assembly in October with Earl Reed Silvers, well- known author, as the principal speaker. The Library Council officers are president, Helen Jankowskyg vice-president, Doris C-oydosg sec- retary, Clara Thompson, treasurer, Christine Argentier. J if tt, ...., wil W9 Qc-F' Journolisrn Club Better make that a 24 point headline-No there's no by-line on that article. Where are all those typists?-Not doing any- thing?-Oh, you're all finished- so soon? lt's only 3:30. Yes, only 3:30, but that's the way it was all year-the club broke all records for promptness. The Journalism Club met every Mon- day and all the material was fin- ished and ready to go to press by 3:30. This club is probably the most active club in the whole school. They had but one big social event this year-their an- nual initiation,-but that made up for everything else. The group looked forward to winning first prize in Class D school news- papers at the Annual Journalistic Conference at Lehighg the only trouble was that there wasn't any conference. Leroy Potts and Miss Lucille Carhart are the advisers: the newspaper staff are editor- in-chief, Edith Ericksong city editor, Helen lzzig make-up edi- tor, Helen Slocag and society editor, Jeanne Butler.

First we see Amelia strutting down the field- a worthy leaderg then come the twirlers--all ten of them in their flashing red and white: then the reeds and brass followed by the clashing cymbals and the rolling drums. This year the band under the instruction of Howard Kelley presented a last- ing tribute to Rahway in the form of two new songs-- Stand Up and Cheer, and the Victory Song. Also the band members presented to the students one of the liveliest and most original assembly programs ever held in Rahway High-a musical quiz program. The band participated in the program at the Sectional American Legion Oratorical Con- test, the farewell to the first Rah- way draftees, the Safety Program, and the Memorial Day Parade. .JFS 4 I ' f 7 l sl-si-fli X i ifw lllrfw W Page Forty-seven M-4 ' .1 Mixed Chorus After the absence of Melvin Reed, who is at Fort Dix, the mixed chorus adopted Howard Kelley as its adviser. This newly organized club has afforded a great deal of enjoyment and fur- thered musical education among the members. Members of the chorus par'- ticipated in the musical comedy, The Cypsy Rover, and played a great part in the success of the comedy. Another activity the chorus took part in was the Christmas pageant. The chorus proved to the entire school its talent, when they sponsored a musical assembly program. Mr. Kelley has proved an able adviser, and has greatly aided in increasing an interest in music throughout Rahway H-igh School. Senior Lotin Club Organizing early in the year, the Senior Latin Club lost no time in starting its activities for the season. The first activity of the year was initiating the Junior -Latin Club. During the winter, the club visited South Orange and entertained the French Club and the Westfield Latin Club. The high light of the year was the an- nual trip to New York which in- cluded a visit to the New York Times Building, Louisiana Purchase, Childs Spanish Gar- den, and a radio broadcast. They also donated the Latin Prize for graduation. The aim of the club is to fur- ther the interest of the pupils in the study of the ancient Roman people and also to present in- teresting' social events. The officers of the club are Shirley Engelman, president, Janet Ken- nedy, vice-president, Ned Chapin, treasurerg and Dorothy Hope, sec- retary. The faculty adviser is Edward Perrine. fi.,,.iifff Pl! Junior Lotin Club As usual, the Junior Latin Club started the year in energetic style. At the first meeting the follow- ing officers were elected: Roy Mershon, presidentg Nancy Reeb, vice-president, Peter Lauer, sec- retary, and Mitzi Bumgarner, treasurer. With these officers and Edward Perrine, their faculty adviser, plans were made for the year. The members began by having a successful Christmas party and later the club went on a roller skating party which everyone en- ioyed. Of course, the club had a wonderful time helping the Sen- ior Latin Club entertain the West- field Latin Club. The main event of the year was the annual trip to New York where they saw a play and a radio broadcast. This group proved to have a very successful year. Page Forty-eight Z .fl ll + - llllll U f Germon Club An organization the purpose of which is to stimulate a greater interest in the German language and acquaint its members with Teutonic social customs is the German Club under the supervi- sion of Miss Henrietta Goerler. The forerunner of a seres of social activities was the Christ- mas party. .Also during the holi- day season the club members baked and sold cookies. At many meetings folk songs and folk danc- ing were enjoyed. Reports on Carl Schurz and Von Steuben were given by several members. During the latter part of the school year, the club held a pic- nic and went on a trip to New York. The officers of the club are Coyle Flanagan, presidentg Bar- bara Brunning, vice-president, Josephine Yawney, secretary, and Mildred Drewes, treasurer. Page Forty-nine Freshman Lotin Club The Freshman Latin Club was formed this year under the super- vision of Miss Julia Morrell, the club adviser. Because of their recent organization, the members cannot boast of great accomplish- ments, but they are already plan- ning to present a play for the entertainment of their members. The group celebrated the Christ- mas holiday season with a very festive party in a true Latin man- ner. This young group also con- tributed much toward making our Christmas assembly a great success and one which will long be remembered in Rahway High School. Many of the members of the club sang Christmas carols, accompanied by students in the Latin classes, for the benefit of the other students in the school. Phyllis Acken is president, Joanna Durand, vice-presidentgJudy Heaslip, secretary, and Betty Carly, treasurer. Americonism Club The Americanism Club was formed this year, with the ex- press purpose of spreading and developing American ideals. The activities of this club were numerous. A Christmas Party was held to bring some cheer to the underprivileged children of Rahway. The members worked to enable their club to make a contribution to British War Re- lief. The club made a study of our most famous American he- roes. The members held a series of discussions on historical events in United States history, which have had lasting effects. The officers of the club were president, Jane Dunphyg vice- president, Dorothy Moss, secre- tary, Doris C-eyerg treasurer, Gloria Cannong the adviser, Miss Catherine Mancuso. Le Cercle Froncois The Cercle Francais endeavors to further a knowledge and ap- preciation of French culture among its members. The club meetings, under the supervision of Mrs. Mathilda Knecht, were organized to carry out this id-ea. A Christmas party was their outstanding event. Many guests from various high schools at- tended. ln April, the French Club had-a joint meeting with Westfield High School at which they entertained their guests with a play. The club had guest speakers who discussed French art and French music. For their annual trip, the club members visited New York where they saw the play, The Doctor's Dilemma. The officers are president, Mar- garet Ladanyeg vice-president, Ruth Colvin, secretary, Harriet Hermang treasurer, Janet Ken- nedy, membership chairman, Pier- rette Davidg program chairman, James Austin. .iii , l Qi QW Page Fifty Theoter Arts Club The Theater Arts Club is an or- ganization for Sophomores only. lt was originated by Miss M. Al- berta Conlan four years ago. The objective of the Theater Arts Club is to make a study of the legitimate stage, radio, and cine- ma, with relation to the different theater phases - lighting, cos- tumes, makeup, props, settings, and lives of people on the stage. The club members usually attend several stage productions at Maplewood and New York, they then discuss the high and weak points of the play. Many of the members, this year, gave reports on information obtained from Theater Arts, Stage, and var- ious other magazines and books. Socials are combined with their meetings, and on the whole, every member profits from the valuable discussions. Mildred Doll is pres- ident, Barbara Mingus, vice- president, Gladys Fleming, sec- retary, Lorraine lzzi, treasurer.

One of the most important was the reading, studying, and enact- ing of Yellow Jack, an adapta- tion by Sidney Howard, of a thrilling chapter from Paul de Kruif's Microbe Hunters. This is the story of scientists who dis- covered the vaccine for yellow fever. The group also dramatized two one-act plays: ln Case lt's Ever Necessary and The Black Lamb, two short comedies by Gladys Lloyd. At their Christ- mas party they exchanged gifts and played games. The last ac- tivity of the year was a trip taken by the members. The officers are as follows: president, Betty Kohler, vice-president, l-lelen Medvigy, secretary, Vivian Mor- tensen, treasurer, Anne Power.

I I 4 Page Fifty-two Photogrophy Club Teaching the members the fundamentals of photography and some of the high lights of the art, the Photography Club is educa- tional and instructive as well as a social club. Officers were elect- ed at the beginning of the year, with William Strimmel as presi- dent, Arthur Schupp as vice- president, Claire Smith as secre- tary, and Marie Coles as treas- urer. David Bender, the faculty adviser, spends a lot of his time with them, arranging photo con- tests, meeting dates, and excur- sions. There is to be a trip plan- ned for some time in the future, probably to New York to see some of the photographic salons or exhibits. Page Fifty-th ree i Art Club This year's Art Club, under the guidance of the new art teacher, John Cooper, had a total mem- bership of twenty-three students. The object of the Art Club has been to bring a more complete knowledge of art to the students of Rahway High School. The members of this club have organized a newspaper, The Black-Out, which has developed an enthusiastic following. A few members of this club were for- tunate enough to have their pic- tures exhibited in Bambergefs difficult competition. The officers of the club were president, Edna Slonakerg vice- president, Peggy Hollingsg secre- tary, Blanche Martin, treasurer, June Zust. Silk Screen Club The Silk Screen Club was or- ganized rather late this year in order that an advanced group could study the hand-cut stencil and the photographic process.of silk screen printing, Printing by the silk screen consists of forcing the paint through fine mesh screen made of silk. The pro- cess is very simple but a little skill is required to produce good work. This method of producing posters, pennants, or signs, on any type of material will be an entirely new introduction to the school Graphic Arts Course next year. This is the first club and school course of this kind to be organized in the East. The club is spon- sored and under the leadership of Mr. Konde, chemistry, Mr. Cooper, artg Mr. DeWick, print- ing: Mr. Kemp, production. Notionol Student Cirophic Arts Society The National Student Graphic Arts Society, under the guidance of Ernest DeWick, is one of the most helpful clubs in the high school. lt helps greatly in civic activities such as the annual Food Dance project providing food for city relief. The club has fur- nished Y memberships to sev- eral worthy boys, and also spon- sors some of the dances at the Its members plan demon- strations and give speeches about branches of graphic arts. Instead of officers, this year's club is conducted by an advisory committee, consisting of Ralph Hook, Peter Murtha, John Hiu- zenic, and Michael Popp. Others representing this group are gen- eral adviser, Ernest DeWickg civic adviser, Paul Newman, ath- letic adviser, Ray Bennett. Page Fifty-four Chemistry Club The Chemistry Club of Rahway High School was organized early in the school year with nine chem- istry students and five physics students making up the total membership. A field trip was made before Christmas to the Rahway waterworks where one of the members took some motion pictures. These he made into a short movie which turned out very well. At present trips are under consideration to such plants as the Mac-Lac, Barber Asphalt, and Pepsi-Cola. Suitable club pins are also under discussion. The president and vice-president of the club were William David- off and John Perevuznik respec- tively. Other officers were sec- retary, Beate Feller, and treas- urer, Philip Soppas. Page Fifty-five i l i i Science Research Club Combining social activities with the pursuit of advanced scientific methods and techniques during the school year, the members of the Science Research Club com- piled reports on the methods of raising cultures of various plants and animals. They also compiled the formulations of stains which are used with these cultures. This was the main activity of the year, and these reports will be used in the biology classes. Other achievements of the club during the year were as follows: a visit to Baumann's greenhouses, an after school partyg sponsoring a night science meeting for stu- dents and citizens of Rahway, and fan early morning breakfast in Union County Park. The officers are president, Nicholas Noranteg vice-president, Joseph Parkhurstg and secretary- treasurer, Marion Bacigalupo. John Morsholl Low Club The John Marshall Law Club is an organization which accepts for membership all Senior stu- dents taking commercial law. These pupils must, however, maintain a high scholastic stand- ard in order to remain in the club. The members are justly re- warded for their efforts. Each meeting of the Marshallites is marked with enjoyment and in- terest. Quizzes and games keep members puzzled as well as add- ing to their general knowledge. The John Marshall Law Club sponsored a movie for the British Relief Fund this year. To top all their activities, the group accom- panied by their adviser, Irving Rapps, went to New York to see 'il-lellzapoppin and many inter- esting places, such as the Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank. Helen lzzi is presidentg -Margaret Panfilio, vice-presidentg Alice Hauffe, secretary, Elsie Cahill, treasurer. . Scienceers The pupils of the biology class decided at the beginning of the year to form a club. They or- ganized The Scienceers which has proved a successful club. The club. was divided into six groups which satisfy all the pu- pils in the club. The chemistry group perform experiments, the biology do dissection workg the electric group are making me- chanical motorsg the radio group, radios, the phonograph group are building phonographsg and the astronomy group are constructing a telescope. They have elected the follow- ing officers: president, Ronald Lintsg vice-president, Rogers C-imbelrnateg secretary, Joyce Bauer, treasurer, Robert Vignoli. The Scienceers have planned to go on a trip to New York. They wish to visit the following places of interest: the Museum of Nat- ural History, the Hayden Planet- arium, Chinatown, the Times Building. They also plan to see H-ellzapoppinf' Page Fifty-six l-lorne Economics Club The I-lome Economics Club of our high school is affiliated with the National Home Economics Association and the State Home Economics Association. lt has a three-fold program: social, educa- tional, service. The club had sev- eral parties, gave a tea for the faculty, sponsored Thanksgiving baskets and gave a Christmas tree with toys and food at Christmas time to a needy family. The members took educational trips during the year, and a group of girls attended a State Student Club rally. Every year, at Com- mencement, this club gives a prize to the Senior girl in Home Econ- omics who has shown the most improvement. Miss Josephine Raub is the class adviser. -Officers of the club were Edna Slonaker, president, Betty Slonaker, secretary, Janet Mancuso, treasurer.. - 1 X ri ' , . Page Fifty-SHT vw . Junior Red Cross Club The past year was a very suc- cessful one for the Junior Red Cross Club which has as its fac- ulty adviser Miss Josephine Raub. The officers elected were Gloria Price, president, Edna Slonaker, secretaryg Betty Slonaker, treas- urer. The program of this club was service, and they showed this during the school year. The club answered the annual call by the Red Cross of the city and made collections throughout the school to help the city chapter. At Christmas, they gave their serv- ices by sharing some of their own joy with the needy, and they had a Christmas tree and toys for a less fortunate family. The mem- bers have done serving and knit- ting for British refugees, and they also raised money to buy material for dresses for Belgian school childreng WHA l-li-Y lf it's fun and good fellowship you want, you're always sure to find it in the H-i-Y. They meet with other Hi-Y's and bowl and play basketball in competition. The Rahway Hi-Y bowling team has won the state championship. A trip is planned for sometime in May, and the Y will be turned over to the Hi-Y for several dances sometime in the spring near the end of school. New officers were elected in the mid- dle of the school year, with Jim Koerner taking over the job of president where Chink Logoida left offg William Strimmel re- placing Ted Wilson as the vice- president, with Bob McFadden .and George Logoida as the secre- 'tary and treasurer, respectively, taking the places of the former officers, Archie Mclntyre and William Davidoff. Anthony Konde is the faculty adviser and Paul Newman, the Y. M. C. A. adviser. , i Blue Triongle Club As usual, the Blue Triangle this year enjoyed a very active and pleasant season. Points of the triangle were followed, such as service, knowledge, and spirit. Contributions to theschool, Red Cross, and the Y. M. C. A. were given in' hope that our gift would help. At our meetings we had many interesting discussions, and on one occasion Miss Helen Squier gave an inspiring talk as to the origin of signs. The girls in the Blue Triangle offered to care for children in the evenings. This -worked out very well and we had lots of fun do- ing it. We not only made a little money, but we also made many new friends. Every year the Club donates a Thanksgiving Basket to some poor and needy family and this year we gave a large one. The girls enjoy getting it ready and we certainly enloy giving it. The club is considered one of the best in school and it is a honor to be in it. The officers -are' president, Peggy Ransomg vice'-president, Coyle Flanagan, secretary, Joan Revoir: and treas- urer, Margaret Woodruff. The advisers are Miss Thelma Frazee of the faculty and Mrs. Erickson. Page Fifty-eight Youtri WEEK y This year, for the third time, the students of Rahway's schools all went to the polls to elect their officials for youth week. ln the High School the election' of the Mayor and the President of Council was preceded by a lively campaign. The candidates of the Citizens' and the People's parties were chosen by petition on April l8, and on the Wednesday of the following week the platforms of both parties were presented in assembly. Much enthusiasm was shown by the supporters of the respective parties. ' On the Sunday following the campaign, Youth Week was inaugurated in the churches and on Monday Youth Week went into full swing with an active campaign. . After this campaign, the students went to the polls and elected Richard Hurd, Mayor, and Ted Wilson, President of Council. Both of these students were members of the Citizens' Party. ln the other schools throughout the city, the students elected the following officials: William Davis of Roosevelt School, Street Commissioner, Ronald Breslow, also of Roosevelt, Health -Officer, Walter Burton of Lincoln School, Chief of Police, Norman Becker of Franklin School, Postmaster, Thomas Roman of Franklin School, Chief of the Fire Department, Walter Gage of Franklin School, Water Board, Theodore Anderson of Washington School, Building Inspector, John Di Stephano of Grover Cleveland School, City Clerk, Phyllis Briles of Columbian School, Overseer of the Poor, Dorothy Connors of St. Mary's, Relief Director, and John Dwyer, also of St. Mary's, City Treasurer.

Members of the Board of Education were Arthur Johnson, high school, Diantha Pattison, Roosevelt and Lincoln, Margaret Vanderbeck, Franklin, George Mesko, Washington, Grover Cleveland, and Columbian, Barbara O'Donnell of St. Mary's. At the organization meeting Arthur Johnson of the high school was elected president with Margaret Vanderbeck of Franklin, as vice-president. The members visited several schools in the city to see the programs in action. Prior to the visits, they met with Superintendent Perry to learn their duties. ' Students chosen for the Common Council met with the regular councilmen on May l4 at which time they were advised by Council members and took action on a number of problems discussed at that time. On April 30, the Junior 'Mayor was presented at assembly and presented his choice for the appointive officers. Here the Spoils system took effect. Mayor Hurd named the following officials: Tax Receiver, Edith Erickson, City Attorney, Allen Herer, Board of Assessors, Calvin Alston, George Logoida, and Marion Holmes, and City Engineer, John Brighouse. On this day the students had complete charge of the school system and took charge of all of the teaching and running the school. Charles Logoida acted as principal and Gertrude O'Malley as vice-principal. . . Thursday, May l, the Junior officials carried on the functions of their respective municipal officers under the direction of their senior incumbents. Youth week was terminated by Field Day Friday. At this time, the various schools of the city encountered each other in various sports events. The day was culminated by a baseball game between Rahway and Roselle, which was won by Rahway lO to 9 in eleven innings. Page Fifty-nine MUSICAL COMEDY Last fall, for the first time in the history of Rahway High School the combined Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes pooled their various talents and staged a super-stupendous musical production, The Gypsy Rover. , The new auditorium was packed to capacity for two nights straight, and the matinee performance was largely attended. Everyone gave freely of time and energy, so that this production would be the greatest ever-and it was! To Melvin Reed and Mrs. Jane Aszman, our talented coaches, should go much of the credit for the success of this production. However, Iet's not overlook the magnificent back stage performances of the many committees and committee advisers who provided the backbone of the show. The lighting effects were realistic and enchanting, and what could be more romantic than ay rustic gypsy camp set deep in the woods, authentic and colorful costumes, native music, and beautiful gypsy girls swaying to the tempo of some heart-felt rhapsody, while their handsome gypsy lovers look on fondly. But the scene did not remain in a gypsy camp, and we were removed to the sumptuous surroundings of a lordly English manor. Here, in the presence of velvet-gowned ladies and swallow-tailed gentlemen, the wander- ing gypsy minstrel revealed his true identity as the lost heir to the Gilbert Howe estates and claimed the hand of his fair lady. Lilting melodies, gay laughter, the sparkling smiles of beautiful girls and handsome men, the rustic life of a gypsy camp, the polished manners of an English manor-all were interwoven in this romantic tale of carefree youth. What more could a king command? The role of Bob, the romantic gypsy hero, was played by Ned Chapin and his leading lady was Charlotte Post as Lady Constance. The other speaking parts were Meg, an old gypsy woman, Gertrude O'Malley, Zara, the belle of the gypsy camp, Edith Erickson, Marto, Meg's husband, Louis Kiger, Sinfo, a gypsy lad in love with Zara, Archie Mclntyre, Lord Craven, an English nobleman, Paul Chodosh, Sir George Martindale, an English country gentleman, Richard Golden, Nina, daughter of Sir George, Marilyn Ginter, Capt. Jerome, a captain in the English Army, Warren Eggers, Sir Toby Lyon, a social butterfly, Walter Wiemer, McCorkle, a song publisher of London, Alex Kempa. There was also a dancing and a singing chorus of fifty persons each. DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD COMMITTEE Although the committee was organized last year, this has been its first full year of activity. The purpose of this group is to honor those who make outstanding contributions to the name of Rahway High School. These contributions are not confined to the field of scholarship, but also include athletics, creative work, and service to others. Each recipient of the Award is presented with a certificate and his name is placed on a permanent scroll. The Committee is composed of three faculty members selected by the principal, the vice-presidents of the four classes, of the National Honor Society, and of the Student Organization, and of an adviser. The faculty members this year have been Miss Thelma Frazee, Delmer Everett, and Melvin Reed, the student members, Charles John- son, president, Arthur Johnson, vice-president, Barbara Feller, secretary-treasurer, John Brighouse, Allen Herer, and George Logoida. The faculty adviser is George Sherwood. MINUTE MEN PROGRAM The Minute Men of Rahway were on the job again this year bright and early. The campaign began October Zl, l94O, with each speaker presenting his topic to his homeroom. This program proved very effective in the promotion of the ideals, of Americanism in the school and community. The topics were many and varied-- Our Constitution, Our Flag, The Ideals of Americanism, Americans-Masses or Individuals, and many others. The score cards were tabulated at the end of the program by Delmer Everett, the adviser, and the ten highest- scored speakers presented an Americanism Assembly Program on March I I.

Yet when we look back on our past, we realize that we are at the end of what seemed impossible in the beginning. lt was a beautiful autumn day in September, nineteen hundred thirty-seven, that the doors of high school were first opened to a class of two hundred eager students. Everybody was eager to become acquainted with his or her new and strange environment. So the first few months were taken up in becoming aquainted with the teachers, schoolmates, surroundings, and subjects. We then started off with great spirit to do the work placed before us. At the beginning of the year our class met and elected Edith Erickson, president, Charles Logoida, vice-president, Michael Popp, treasurer, and Shirley Engelman, secretary. As Freshmen, we never hesitated to tackle the hardest tasks and so were unusually successful in our undertakings. The Freshman Football and Basketball teams were very successful while the Freshman Play exceeded all anticipation. The annual prom, held in May, closed the activities for the year. The school year passed faster than we expected. As we gathered in September, nineteen hundred thirty-eight, we no longer were called Freshmen, but Sophomores. Again our members showed their ability to do good work. Many boys joined the high school athletic squads and made a name for themselves, while others joined the various clubs and organizations throughout the school. The new year also brought a change in the class officers for Charles Logoida was elected president, Edith Erickson, vice-president, John Brighouse, treasurerg and Betty Reed, secretary. Needing funds for its activities, the class undertook the sale of magazines and Christmas cards and made enough to pay for all expenses. The Football Dance also was a success. Finally the school year neared the end and a gala Sophomore Party was held as a goodbye. We now were sturdy Juniors with great spirits and determination. Our first act was to elect Charles Logoida, president: John Brighouse, vice-president, William Davidoff, treasurer, and Mildred Brown, secretary. We then held a football dance, sold magazines, and held a movie benefit and a card party. These functions raised money for the class expenses. Big-Hearted Herbert, our class play under the direction of Mrs. Jane Aszman, proved to be a great success. Then we ordered our class rings and ended a very successful year with a dance to the Seniors. Our Senior year, from beginning to end, was one of joy and success. We were eager and ambitious for work, as we began to realize that we soon would leave the halls of Rahway High. The officers elected were Charles Logoida, president, John Brighouse, vice-president, Arthur Johnson, treasurerg and Mildred Brown, secretary. Many new events took place in our Senior year. The Gypsy Rover, a musical play, was produced by the school and had to be held two nights, while the sale of candy earned a good sum to be applied for class expense. Again we were ably represented in the clubs and athletics of the school. Some of our members gained state-wide recognition for their ability. The Senior Frolic was the last class function our class held and proved to be a great success. Then the Allegarooter was published and the class trip to Rye Beach was taken and the activities were over for the year. So we end our days in Rahway High School and as we pull the curtains on the scenes of our school life, we can only say to the future graduates that we wish them as much happiness as we ourselves received at school. Though we now are embarking upon the sea of life, we know that the Class of '-41 will always display the same spirit out in life that they have displayed in school.

'I A J CLASS WILL We, the Class of '41, being of sound mind and body l?l, and realizing that time and tide wait for no man, and that the time is fast approaching when we shall go out with the tide from Rahway High School, do ordain and establish this our final will and testament, renouncing and declaring null and void, all such former documents. To the faculty, who have patiently endured our little whims and caprices, and who have truthfully tried to impart to us the bare rudiments of readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic, we leave our new high school building and trust that you will dutifully protect its polished surface from the marks of our crude underclassmen. To the Freshmen we leave the privilege of becoming wise fools g little more can be promised to this group until next year-then, oh boy! To the Sophomores we leave the honor of being lifted bp one rung on the scale of life and succeeding the already too rambunkshus Juniors. To the Juniors we bequeath the esteemed honor of succeeding us. Obviously, this vacancy, which our graduation is creating, can only be partially filledg however, in view of this forced concession, we must content ourselves with the thought that they will try their best. We also commend to their care and guardianship the spirit and honor of the school and trust that they will guard it dearly. We also bequeath: Irene Murphy's dancing to Bumps Murphy. Barbara Larson's skill of art to Barbara Van Pelt. Ruth Presender's brief case to Richard C-olden. Bee Hope's figure to Madelyn Hall. Art Johnson's brains to Eddie Partenope. Hughie Baumann's way of getting around to Bob Noble. C-ee Woodruff's singing to Marjorie Holmes. Edith Erickson's oratorical ability to Allan Herer. Mike Hedrick's good looks to Ralph Hook. H-elen lzzi's A's to Pat Nichols. Fred Jenkin's all star to Frankie Shupper. Dot Frederick's smile to Dot Hope. Charlotte Post's place behind the candy counter to Marjorie Woodward. Christine Argentier's tidy appearance to Lillian Horvath. Margaret Fitzgerald's typewriter to Audrey Comer. Leonia Jansen's red hair to Terry Maloney. Audrey Regan's short hand pencil to Kay Schimmel. Richard Rand's curly hair to Walt Jackson. ' Marie Ciarricco's efficiency to Corrine Harriman. Peggy and John's good friendship to Norma and Art. The front seat in English class to Jeanne Butler. Margaret Soos's modeling to Jane Frederick.
