A l HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS E entered Rahway High School as bewildered Freshmen and began our activities with the election of officers. The following officers were elected: president, Gregory Bogdanffyg vice-president, Beverly Comer, secretary, Lila Fagansg treasurer, Howard Wolfe. Our activi- ties were few but the Freshman Dance, our main activity, was a success. In our Sophomore year, we felt more confident. Our class officers were president, Nelson Taylor: vice-president, Dorothy Hauer, secretary, Rodney Von Beidelg treasurer, Howard Wolfe. Our Sophomore Dance was even a greater success than our Freshman Dance. We began our year's program, as Juniors, by electing our class officers. The result of the election was as follows: president, Thomas Grahillg vice-president, Dorothy Hauer, secretary, Evelyn Sersong Betty Healey was chosen as class treasurer. The class advisers are Edward Per- rine and Miss Evelyn Wise. We sponsored the annual Football Dance, as our first activity. We purchased our class rings and produced a successful play, The Patsy, in March. ln May, we held the Junior-Senior Re- ception. All those who attended the dance, enjoyed it immensely and are looking forward to the next one. We will endeavor to make our Senior year even more successful than our previous years. 36 L J-x ,ggi ' .1 5 Q . ,A 1 THE ALLECAROOTER, i946 iii- ' if r F: K I q A SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY ALTHOUGH the Sophomore Class did nothing spectacular this past year, they were loyal supporters of all the activities in the High School.

We number approximately two hun- dred forty, We originate from Roosevelt, Lincoln, Franklin, Grover Cleveland, and St. Mary's schools in Rahway, and from other schools out of town. Freshman boys and girls alike have been actively interested in sports and other activities. The boys had successful seasons of football and basketball during which they were cheered on by the sports-minded girls, Freshman boys also played baseball in the spring and were track can- didates. Socially, we supported our Freshman party, on the third of May, unusually well. We elected Ed Connors, presidentg Dick Archer, vice president: Ethel Westervelt, secre- tary: and Sam Kosty, treasurer. We are looking forward to three more great years at Rahway High. 38 ZQQ Q Sv BATTLE! 6999 4, X6 kv 0 0 vo xr P ., J' Q9 1. X 5 4' qv' ,rx X be 6' 'Ps bs 'J 'X C5 J 5 -3 v,j'o. e'V x Joyce?

The girls marched at all foot- ball games both at home and away. The Boosters practiced many times after school to per- fect the letter formations that were given during the halves of the football games on Saturday. Red chenille letters were given to the members to wear on their sweaters in place of their regular felt letters, for the annual Re- gional football game. This year the Booster outfits consisted of red sweaters and black skirts. The officers of the Boosters this year were president, Rosmarie Bruestleg secretary, Agnes Wil- son: treasurer, Norrine Painter, The faculty adviser is Loy E. Owen. 9 Jil?

In their smart red culottes and black sweaters they led the cheers of the entire stud- ent body with vim and vitality. To open the football season, the Cheerleaders introduced sev- eral new cheers in our first Pep Assemblyg and, together with the Band, Boosters, and Twirlers, sponsored the annual Kick-off Dance in the Cafeteria. This year the girls were once again transported to the out of town games by bus. This prac- tice was abandoned during the war. Three of the Cheerleaders vis- ited the grammar schools of our city to teach the younger rooters some of the better known cheers of the High School This year Diantha Pattison was the captain of the squad and Thornton Monez, the faculty ad- viser. THE ALLEGAROOT f S -if FOOTBALL Football is the sport which draws large crowds to Riverside Park each fall. This year was no exception. Under the excellent guidance of Coach Earl Hoagland and Assistant Coach Berger, the team had a very exciting season. The first game against Dover gave the team the necessary confidence it needed. Rahway won 39 to 6. The sec- ond game of the season was lost to Morristown l3 to O. ln the traditional game with Linden, the following week, the Scarlet team once more suffered a defeat, the final score being 30 to O. The succeeding week found Rahway playing Cranford. This time the squad was on the losing end. The score was 32 to 7. At the next game Rahway tackled Roselle Park, the County and State champions, and gave their opponent only two touchdowns. The final score was l3 to O. Next on the list came Roselle. At the half, due to a dis- -pute, the Roselle team failed to appear for the second half of the game, and consequently the game was forfeited to Rahway l to O. Union lost to Rahway by a score of l9 to 6, and the following week the team lost to Plainfield 32 to O. The final game of the year, the annual Thanksgiving Day game, found Rahway the victor against Regional. The final score was 9 to 6.

This season is considered the rebirth of the tennis team because there has been no squad of varsity rat- ing for several years. Miss Elysia Philipp is the adviser of the group. Last year the team played Perth Amboy, Pingry, and the faculty of Rahway High School. Students are chosen for the team on the basis of a round robin ancl elim- ination tournament. Those who survive the test are placed in orcler of their qualifications. The team also expects to conduct a laclcler tournament. ln this way a player of lower rank may challenge one of higher rank. lf he wins, he automatically assumes the place of his opponent. THE ALLEGAROOTER, i946 x GIRLS, ACTIVITIES On entering the girls' gym dur- ing the past year, one might have found the students tumbling, playing basketball, volleyball, softball, or badminton, depend- ing upon the time of year he came in. The physical education pro- gram for the girls was varied and interesting. ln the fall, the girls participated in archery, softball, badminton, golf, and tennis: while during the winter, there were basketball, volleyball, tumb- ling, stunts, rope-climbing, flying- rings, and dancing. Four hundred and twenty-eight girls participated in seven round- robin tournaments in volleyball, the winners of each playing in the elimination tournament. This re- sulted in a championship team. The same technique was used in basketball with approximately the same number of girls participat- ing. Some of the outstanding events of the past year were the winning ofthe Alumnae High School game and the Sports Days held with the various other high schools. 5 MODERN DANCE GROUP This has been the first year for the Modern Dance Group, but they have already given three per- formances. The group is made up of twenty-five girls who work in cooperation with the music de- partment. The girls dance to symphonic recordings and to choral accompaniment. The group used a combination of techniques from the various schools of modern dancing. Some of these techniques are the Holms, Humphrey - Weidman, and Graham. These various tech- niques were blended into one smoothly running whole. Modern dancing is expression through movement. This move- ment represents the interpreta- tion of a mood or an emotion. ln modern dancing the scenery and costumes are as simple as they can possibly be. . Also, mod- ern dancing is composed of sim- ple and natural movements. The dance is built upon floor and rhythmical patterns. The girls participating in the modern dance group have found that this type of dancing pro- motes grace, coordination, and is an xcellent body builder. THE ALLECAROOTER, 1946 .1 HOCKEY CLUB The curtailed hockey season 1 has given way this past year to a full-time schedule once again. ' Because the team began their . season rather late, only two games were played. Robert Berger is the .t i f N N adviser of the group. N-M-if-www-2-'-M' The first game of the season , ' ' 'Q 1 was against Plainfield. Rahway lost 3 to 1. The game was played in a blinding snowstorm. The feature of the game was rough body checking. Rahway played exceptionally well considering the strong opposition. The next game I was against Cranford. The final score was O to O. It was a rough game and the goalies of both i teams gave a fine exhibition in ,i the nets. Many more games which were scheduled for the sea- son had to be canceled because the ice melted. , 5 ai. CROSS COUNTRY The fall session of track is represented in Rahway High School by cross country. This group is under the able direction of Coach Harry Hanf. Cross country is a run of two and a half miles. During the season, the group met with seven other teams. Although they won only four of the dual runs, because of the keen competition, it was considered a very interest- ing season. The following teams bested the high school squad: Kearny 24 to 31 3 Union 19 to 363 Jefferson 23 to 32. Rahway won from the following teams: Regional 27 to 283 Barringer 23 to 333 Cranford 15 to 403 Plainfield 23 to 33. It is to be noted that the team with the lowest score is the winner.

GI RLS' BASKETBALL TOU RNAMENTS Every year, awards are made in the girl's basketball tournaments. To earn these awards, one must be a member of the winning round robin tournament as well as being on the winning team in the elimination tournament. The entire program involved 428 players this year, and to be iudged the best from such a group, involved more than the ability to play the game well. While the girls on the winning team were playing, they never lost sight of the fact that victory was empty unless such characteristics as fair play, a respect for the feelings of others, a sense of loyalty to all team members, and all those other little phrases which help make possible the use of the words, good sporstman- ship, were present. A The winning team this year was the Yakshimash. The members of the team were Margaret Ruddy, Captaing Rosmarie Bruestle, Diantha Pattison, Marian Gibbons, Elizabeth Fleming, Ruth Kagan and Jane Elmer, The teams in second and third place were the Honeydrippers and the P.V.G.s respectively. 48 QQ , .

ASSEMBLY PLANNING COMMITTEE We owe much to our Assembly Planning Committee for the splendid work they have done this past year in preparing assembly programs for us. Every Wednes- day we have had excellent pro- grams in which many of the stu- dents have participated. This Committee was organized in i945 and Mr. Sherwood was appointed chairman. Several members of the faculty, appointed by the Principal, and thirteen stu- dents compose this committee. Six of the students are appointed by Principal Ralph N. Knocher and the other seven are elected by the student body. Regular meetings are held once a month to plan and assign all regular and special assemblies.

Comprising some 80 voices, this group repre- sents a cross-section ot the stu- dent body. These enthusiastic singers have demonstrated through their performances that almost professional results may be obtained from a group devoted to singing tor the sheer joy ot it. The mixed chorus appears throughout the year on many school and community programs. lts annual broadcast at the Christ- mas season over WAAT has vvon considerable recognition tor its standard ot performance. This year about 40 students tried cut for All-State Chorus membership. The aims ot the chorus are these: to provide a musical ex- perience tor all High School stu- dents vvho care to avail them- selves ot ity to extend to High School students an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the techniques and standards of pro- fessional pertormance3 and to establish an active performing musical organization that can par- ticipate in school and community functions. 4-'J .iz G 9 y 5 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Clee Club is another of the active musical groups in the high school. lts members in- clude students trom every course in the High School who like to sing and who come together every day to do so.

Thornton Monez is the faculty leader ct the Clee Club. . :J riff' if T I fiiffiix 'tt 9 ,f THE LLE BAND lf you happen to be on the third floor during the seventh period, you will undoubtedly hear the familiar strains of a march com- ing forth from the Band Room. This is an indication that our High School Band is hard at work re- hearsing either for the next as- sembly program or for some spe- cial occasion. During the past football sea- son, the band not only played at all the home games but also was fortunate enough to secure trans- portation to some of the out-of- town games. ln order to make these games more enjoyable, the Band, together with the Boosters, the Cheerleaders, and the Twirl- ers, worked very hard, usually after school, to perfect the form- ations for each football game. The Band, comprising some forty members, is under the di- rection of Thornton Monez, who has done an excellent job with this organization. We shall long remember Mr, Mcnez and the Rahway High School Band. Ps l T ,l r l l THE ART CLUB The Art Club was orgaaized to further the knowledge of the art of painting.

A Christ- mas party was held, and the girls are making plans for a buffet sup- per, a trip to New York, a mother and daughter tea, and a picnic which will be held in the spring. The officers elected to carry out club activities for this year were Barbara Birkholz, president: Rose Morra, vice-president: Joan Bennet, secretary, and Nancy Moulton, treasurer. Miss Cath- erine Parent acts as the club ad- viser. THE ALLEC-AROOTER, i946 B. BANKING CLUB The Rahway High School Bank- ing Club has had two purposes this year, The first purpose of the club was to sell War savings stamps and bonds. This purpose was concluded with the Victory Loan Drive that continued through October 29 and Decem- ber 7. ln this final drive the club sold 57,098.25 in stamps and bonds. The present purpose of the club is to continue to sell bonds and stamps because it is an excellent method of saving and investing one's money. On October 24, i945 the Bank- ing Club sponsored an assembly program. This program featured a i6 mm. motion picture called The Diary of a Sergeant. The membership of this organ- ization is composed of represen- tatives elected from each Home Room at the beginning of the year. These representatives take charge cf banking every Tuesday morn- ing, and distribute the stamps and bonds Wednesday morning, The faculty adviser is Herman Kagan. THE PERSONALITY CLUB The Personality Club was organized in i945 at the request of a group of Freshman girls. During the current school year the Personality Club has expanded its mem- bership to include girls of all high school classes, since Junior and Senior girls desire to improve and develop their characteristics which make them attractive to other people. Taking the older girls into the club has enabled them to make the programs and discussions more varied be- cause the older girls have a different viewpoint from those of the Freshman girls. At their meetings the girls report on and discuss different topics. Some of the topics discussed during the year were the newest hair styles, the use of cosmetics, and the personalities of the best known movie actors and actresses. The officers of the club were president, Mildred To- massig vice-president, Alice Yiotisq secretary, Barbara Farmer. The club adviser was Miss Catherine Mancuso. 60 l la THE Ai.LEcARooTER, 19-46ClQu,q,yxIea-Q, .1 HI-Y The Hi-Y of Rahway High School is an outstanding boys' group founded upon the prin- ciples of religion, education, athletics, and service. The boys meet at the Young Men's Christian Association building and hold discussions on topics concerning religion and current events. They participate actively in contests of swimming, basketball, and ping-pong. The l-li-Y recently played the Young Men's Christian Associations of Metuchen and Perth Amboy in basketball aid won both games. Members of the club also par- ticipate in the Model Legislature Meeting held at Trenton. ln co- l operation with the nationwide March of Dimes, the group spon- sored the community drive, of which the proceeds went towards the fight against infantile paral- ysis. The Hi-Y also held dances and social meetings with other clubs.

The points of the triangle symbolize service, spirit, and knowledge. The club pro- grams try to cover these points and give the girls a well- rounded club life. The girls gave a Splash and Bowling party for the Col- legiettes, were entertained by Mrs. Joseph Parkhurst at a formal tea at her home, and presented a play for the Christmas Assembly. The club sold red R.H.S. caps and donated money to the March of Dimes, the Sister Kenny Fund, the Tuberculosis Drive, the National War Fund, the Y. M. C. A., and the High School. The officers this year were Ursula Luetgens, presidentg Jane Eimer, vice-president and program chairman: Shir- lee Miller, secretary, and Diantha Pattison, treasurer. The advisers were Miss Thelma Frazee of the faculty and Mrs. Joseph Parkhurst. 6l THE ALLECAROOTER i946 THE SENIOR PLAY J The Senior Play, Kempy, pre- sented on November 20, l945. was a spectacular success. A large portion of the city of Rah- way and of surrounding commu- nities attended this sparkling comedy. Jerry Kagan as the can- tankerous old father made a great hit with the audience. Katherine Bence, author of a book, was played by Diantha Pattison. ln order to spite Duke Merrill, portrayed by Michael Semanitzky, she ran away from home and mar- ried Kempy Jones, a young ad- mirer of hers who appeared at the Bence home as a plumber. The Bences, with the exception of Ruth, opposed poor Kempy bit- terly, Duke and Katherine finally reunited, however, and Kempy and Ruth made plans for the future. It all ended hap- pily ever after. The cast of the play was as follows: Ruth Bence-Ruth Ka- ' ii . 1 n ji 'T i gang Dad Bence-Jerry Kagang tg . yu., Ma Bence-Shirley Kererg Jane i P- P i' ' ' 'lg is v lglbif .

'9 if ig, if ' es TH E JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Play, given this year for the first time since before the war, was a comedy entitled Patsy which was presented on March 22. Patsy is the abused sister who ultimately gains her point. Throughout the action there is continued bickering between the mother and father. Grace, the other sister, is actually a gold digger. Tony Anderson, who is a sympathetic fellow, is the only one who truly understands Pat. Pat's one desire in life is to marry Tony. This ambition is finally accomplished through her own cleverness and the aid of her father. lt all ends happily ever after. The members of the cast were as follows: Bill Har- rington-Sherman Ancierg Mrs. William Harrington- Barbara l-l-ammel 3 Grace Harrington-Jean Dura, Patricia Harrington-Marjean Kampeg Billy Caldwell-Charles Hatton, Tony Anderson--Edward l-lasbroukg Sadie Buck- anan-Carol Levyg Francis Patrick O'Flaherty-Stanley Needellg Trip Busty-Roy Vagelos. Mrs. Jane B. Aszman was the faculty coach. 62 THE ALLECAROOTER, 1946 LITERARY CLUB4 l The members of the Literary i Club enjoyed an interesting year under the direction of their ad- viser, Miss Anne O'DonneIl. The main purpose of the club, to set before its members certain aspects of contemporary life as reflected by present-day writers, was exemplified by the reading of the following books: 'Creen Dolphin Street, Anything Can Happen, The World, the Flesh, and Father Smith, Lost island, The Wayfarers, and The Townsmanf' Two girls volun- teered to read each book and review it, thus twelve girls parti- cipated, After the book had been reviewed, any other mem- bers who had read the book, as discussed it. Other reports on different sub- jects were given during the year by Nancy Hanf and Joan Travis. Nancy Hanf reported on a lecture given by Maurice Evans. The subiect was the Ci. I, presentation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Joan gave a resume of the series of pro- grams presented by the Rahway Teachers' Association. Joan Travis as president of the Club presided at the monthly meetings. She was ably assisted by Olga Kazakewitz, vice-presi- dent, and Bella Jacobs, secretary. THEATER ARTS CLUB The Theater Arts Club restricts its membership to members of the Sophomore Class. They hold their meet- ings the second Monday of every month. The group. this year, has made an extensive study of the contrasts between movies with student casts and with professional casts. As an example of a student movie, they saw one entitled Poise and Personality , for a professional movie, they had Mutiny on the Bounty. They have studied the Senior and Junior plays as examples of student act- ing, and groups of three and four members have viewed professional plays in New York. Members have made reports on the plays and the lives of the authors. Officers of the club are Lorraine Marsh as president: Mary Tokar, vice-president, Donna Fuhring, secretaryg and Joan Chamberlin as treasurer. The Theater Arts Club adviser is Miss Alberta Conlan. 63 'fr THE ALLEGAROOTER, i946 'fi 4' - ...ggi 'f JOURNALISM The Journalism group this year, under its new adviser, Loy E. Owen, has enjoyed a most produc- tive season. For the first time in many years Rahway High has its own paper. This paper, published weekly and printed in the high school printing shop, was started in March. Members of the staff attended more press conferences during the year than ever before. Among these were interviews with Tommy Dorsey at the H400 Club, Jimmy Dorsey, Buddy Rich, Benny Goodman, and Glen Gray, all at the Terrace Room, also Maurice Evans. Several of these inter- views were carried out over sta- tion WAAT in Newark. The group attended a very interesting conference of high school news staffs vvnich was held at New York University. All drives and school activities were given full publicity by the journalism staff and members. The editorial staff which is headed by Joyce Garber as editor- in-chief, includes Nancy Hanf as assistant editor, Eileen Maurer as feature editor, Margaret Titman as Exchange editor, and Morton Balon, Sports Editor. goof a S. - .-- Z-+- ' 'fafc jx co? 5 I f 5' . its 9 y' 5 -'LIBRARY COUNCIL This year twenty-four girls, who were interested in books and in becoming librarians, composed our Library Council. Each girl had to be recommended scholas- tically before she could be per- mitted to serve on the Council, as they must spend at least two periods a week in the library working at the desk, preparing new books for display, repairing damaged books, and keeping the bulletin boards up to date. Last year they collected l,84O books for the Victory Book Cam- paign. This year they have pre- pared a series of exhibits about International Cooperation which was sponsored by Rutgers Uni- versity. This year the girls celebrated Christmas by having a party and closed the year of hard work with an outdoor picnic. These are only a few of their many activities which keep them busy throughout the year. The officers of the Council are president, Joan Mantellg vice- president, Kitty Simmons: secre- tary, Grace Stewartg treasurer, Beverly Comer, and the adviser is Miss Vail. Ari-is ALLEGARO . .JV J DEBATING CLUB Although this was the first of- ficial year for the Debating Club, its name is very familiar to us of R.H.S. Among its many activi- ties for the year, the Debating Club sponsored a forum for the Parent-Teacher Association deal- ing with the topic, Compulsory Military Training for Boys over Eighteen. The club also spon- sored a Youth Day at the High School. The members presented another forum during assembly. The club met with the debating teams of many surrounding high schools during the year and had many interesting and educational discussions. Various members were chosen by the members to represent them in such discus- sions on the radio. When the Debating Club wasn't meeting with other high schools, its members held debates and forums at their meetings. President Jerry Kagan, vice- president Michael Semanitzky, secretary Joyce Carber, and treas- urer Jordan Vogel, with Mr. Per- rine as adviser did an admirable job in guiding the Debating Club this year. l' R.H.S. ORATORICAL CONTEST The annual American Legion Oratorical Contest was divided into two assembly programs this year. The con- testants participating in the first assembly eliminations were Edward Kirby, Stanley Needell, Jerry Kagan, Car- land Conner, Edgar Amos and Lucy Zello, Jerry Kagan was the winner with Edward Kirby and Stanley Needell second and third respectively. The participants in the second assembly elimination included Diantha Pattison, George Ruddy, Michael Se- manitzky, and Bella Jacobs. Diantha Pattison was the winner of this portion of the contest with Michael Se- manitzky and Bella Jacobs taking the second and third Dlace honors. Because of a tie between Jerry Kagan and Diantha Pattison, the two first place winners, the final of the contest was held during a third assembly program with Diantha emerging as the winner, She then repre- sented R.l-l.S. at Linden in the Union County semi-final elimination where she placed third. David T. Bender was the faculty Coach. 65 CAREER DAY THE ALLEC-AROOTER, 1946 POETRY READING CONTEST ln our poetry reading contest Diantha Pattison was selected to represent Rahway High School in the Eighth Annual Contest in the Reading of Poetry sponsored by the English Club of the University of Newark. Thirty-one schools in New Jersey were par- ticipating in the semi-final contest. Of the participants ten were chosen to compete in the final contest a week later. Diantha was one of the ten selected to enter the finals, but Edward Josa of Nutley High School won, reading Robinson's Mr, Flood's Party, Min- iver Cheevy, and Richard Cary. Our representative read Whittier's Abraham Daven- port, coached by Miss Lucille Carhart. Career Day which was held December l2, l945, was a series of vocational conferences for Junior and Senior students. Since the choice of a vocation is one of the most impor- tant decisions in the life of any high school student, these conferences were arranged to bring to the students practical guidance information concerning occupations and professions. The program was sponsored by the Rahway Kiwanis Club, the Student Council, the National Honor Society, and the Student General Organization. The various discussion groups were led by nineteen men and women representing the nineteen professions most frequently mentioned on the elective cards of the students. Career Day was officially started by an assembly program which was followed by the discussion periods. Each Junior and Senior chose two conferences which he wished to attend. ln these conferences, the speakers told the students some of the important as- pects of their professions. THE D. A. R. PILGRIMAGE Following an election by the girls of the Senior class, Harriet Marsh was selected to go on the annual Pilgrimage of the Daughters of the American Revolution to Trenton. Each year a member of the Senior class is chosen by the faculty members from three students who have been elected by the girls in the class, to represent her school at the annual con- ference. Due to the war, this conference was not held last year. The girls attend the morning session at which they receive certificates. They are then given their lunch and conducted on a special tour of points of interest in the city of Trenton. RADIO BROADCASTS BY R.H.S. STUDENTS The first broadcast this year was a program given at Christmas time by the Varsity Chorus. The Chorus had been invited to present this concert by the WAAT studio in Newark. A few of the selections which the chorus rendered are While by Our Sleeping Flock We Lay, Sent From Heaven, Carol of the Bells, and Carol of the Russian Chil dren. This program was so well received that the Varsity Chorus has been asked to present a program of choral music during the month of April. ln another program, the Kresge Junior Forum of the Air, Jerry Kagan and Diantha Pat tison represented Rahway High School on the affirmative side of the question, Should there be social and economical equality between the sexes? On May l3, another group of Seniors participated on a similar forum program, the subject of which was The Influence of Radio on Youth. Harriet Marsh won for this evening and so was made eligible for the Scholarship broadcast. - 66 will msvvr cuss f 57 n '- lb i Luvreh! l :ut ii W Q. N Ever Sofulbqq qume ' viuslc ROM E, Q.

The need for con- servation was the main factor in causing the curtailment of many usual activities. For this reason, the Freshman Party was ca-ncelled. Our officers were president, John Stillwellg vice- president, Millicent Cohill, treasurer, Ruth Dediciusg and secretary, Mary Rommell. In the Sophomore year, conditions improved, and it was possible for the class to have its annual Sophomore Hop which was enjoyed by all who attended. The officers during this year were president, Munn Pattison, vice-president, Joan Travis, secretary, Carolyn Schoefflerg treas- urer, Kimber Brace. F The following year, as Juniors, we sponsored a dance honoring the football team at the conclusion of a successful season. A portion of the proceeds from this dance helped to finance the long-awaited Junior-Senior Reception. The Reception, held the following May, was the high- light of our Junior year. We elected as officers Ralph Pepe, president, Edward Fitzgerald, vice- president, Irene Artimovitch, secretary, and Diantha Pattison, treasurer. The year we had anticipated since beginning our formal education finally arrived. We entered the school in September looking forward to an active year. Officers elected were Ed- ward Fitzgerald, president: Ralph Pepe, vice-president, Isabelle Gagnon, secretary, and Joyce Garber, treasurer. To usher in the football season, a Kick-off Dance for the team was held. ln November the Senior class presented Kempy, a comedy in three acts. lt was adjudged a great success. Shortly after the new year arrived, the Allegarooter staff began work on the Senior Year Book. The highlight of the social season was the Junior-Senior Reception. Now, as we go to press, we anxiously await graduation night when the culmination of all our work becomes a reality. Farewell, Rahway High Schooll 7l GIRL Rosmarie Bruestle ....... .,....

The teachers helped us all the And now it's graduation dayg So we shall part with smiles and tears Remembering always our four years. 72 way, 4: ' E THE ALLEGAROOTER, 1946 A LEGEND ln the little village of Rahway in the far old year 1746 everyone was busy at work. The Millers and the Cooper were discussing the rising Price of grain, the Farmer had left his field to go Fox hunting in the Marshes, and the Maher was attending to the city affairs in the town Hall. As the clock in the Church struck two, the black-Smith led his Strong white horse out of his Stahl. Usually he spent the afternoon riding through the Parks enjoying the Seitz, but that day he had to see the Taylor who was making a new suit for him, As he rode down the Longstreet, he passed many Small children at play. He stopped in front of the shop and tied his horse to the Post. When he went in- side, he took his suit from the Rack and tried it on. What a Gross error had been made! Haff of his trousers were missing! His Ruddy complexion disappeared. What Shell l do? he cried. He tried to Brace himself and left the shop still wearing his new suit. H-e mounted his horse again and started toward home with his Hart beating wildly. As he crossed the Brooks, his horse stumbled and he fell into the water. He hurried to shore and, when he got there, he discovered that his trousers were a perfect fit. No one to this day can explain Howe it happened, but this just goes to prove that Morgan's Creek has nothing on the Rahway River.

A certain Southern statesman Of noble Dixie born, Appears upon a well-known show. His name, that is-Claghorn. Ruthie, Ruthie, small and sweet. Ruthie, Ruthie, so petite, What does Mama make you eat, That makes you get such great big feet? He jumped and ran, the sight to see, For he was only eightg Not many times in his young life Had Grandma jumped the gate! LIMERIC-KS l once had a dog called Magee. He often played checkers with meg But don't think he was bright, For that isn't right, l could win from him two out of three! There was once a fat man in our town. When he walked, he looked so like a clown. He rode on a train To keep out of the rain, When he got up, three people sat down. There was an old gent from Duluth Whose manners were very uncouth. He was killed by his wife With a sharp bladed knife, 'Cause he knocked out her only front tooth. YAKSHIMASH Some people may wonder what this name must mean, But it isn't so bad as it may seeml lt's hard to spell and it's hard to say- You have to get used to the proper way. The meaning is simple, clear, and new Because all it means is, How are you? 78 THE ALLEC-AROOTER, 1946 1946 CLASS fWILL We, the Class of 1946, being of rather feeble mind and shattered body, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament and do bequeath the following to the lucky l?l members of the Junior Class: Claire Mooney's looks to Joan Peins Doris Armstrong's voice to Barbara Birkholz Mike Semanitzky's fiddle to Roy Vagelos Di Pattison's cheerleading to Babe Maloney Ardys C-ross' athletic ability to Marjean Kampe Jerry Kagan's oratorical ability to anyone who can match it Harriet Marsh's brains to Mary Jane Case Bris Bruestle's wit to Carol Levy Nick Bova's athletic ability to Bud Taylor Howard Maher's height to Tom Murtha Townsend Howe's art ability to Frank Thorne Don Stahl's car to the shop boys Joe Kruger's technique to Eddie Hasbrouck 1 The little friends in our lockers to anyone with a mousetrap Our gym suits to the rag-pile Ruth Cohen's questions to James Mclntosh Ruth Kagan's dimples to Elva Smeal Grace Moscl'1berger's typing ability to Helen Zelesnick Bus seats to the best pusher The school paper to next year's Journalism Staff The eaton caps to the Freshmen who don't know any better Our varied talents to the needy Juniors Signed and Sealed in the Presence of THE ALLEGAROOTER STAFF lSignedl THE CLASS OF 1946 79 05 N X ZKZX jk jg ZL jgjg jg jk jg I A A A A r All negatives of photographs appearing in this book are in our files ....
