We especially want to thank the Board of Edu- cationg Mr. Perry, the Sup- erintendent of Schools: Mr. Kocher, our principalg Miss Carhart and Mr. Potts, our advisersg and the faculty of our school. To all others who have in any way furthered our edu- cation, we express our gratitude. DEDICATION E, the Senior Class of R a h w a y H i g h School, take pleas- ure in dedicating this, our Year Book, to our parents. Although we often failed to express our thanks dur- ing these four important years of our lives, we real- ize that without their un- derstanding our success would have been impos- sible. They have supported our activities throughout all our school life and given us the faith in ourselves, that we so vitally needed. To them all we say a heartfelt Thank you and hope that we may be worthy of their efforts and their hopes for us. TABLE OF CONTENTS FACU LTY II. STAFF I I I. CLASSES IV. SPORTS V.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY One morning in September, nineteen hundred and forty-three, two hundred excited students entered Rahway High for the first time. This was to be the Senior Class of I947. After becoming accustomed to high school life, the class elected these officers: president, Gregory Bogdanffyg vice- president, Beverly Comer, secretary, Lila Fagans, treasurer, Howard Wolf. Under their leadership, the class sponsored an outstanding Freshman Hop, which was the social event of the year, On the first day of our second year in high school, anyone seeing the look of satisfaction on the faces of our classmates would quickly realize that finally, we had graduated from the lowest form of high school life pos- sible-we were now intellectual Sophomores. To emphasize our mental maturity, we planned a very successful Sophomore Hop. The class officers for this year were president, Nelson Taylor, vice-president, Dorothy Hauer? secretary, Rodney von Beidelg treasurer, Howard Wolf. Our Junior year was highlighted by the ending of World War ll. This event, though not completely outshone, was slightly dimmed by our Junior play, The Patsy, and the Junior-Senior Reception, which were both very successful. ln spite of these outstanding events, most of the class managed to accumulate enough knowledge to graduate to the Senior class. The officers who led us through this hectic year were president, Thomas Crahillg vice-president, Dorothy Hauer, secretary, Evelyn Serson, and treasurer, Betty Healey. At last the pinnacle of social standing in our high school career was reached. We could now look down upon the humble Freshmen with a superiority complex that could be had only by a Senior who has already sur- vived and surmounted three years of turmoil. Between phases of the struggle, we did manage to produce a fine Sen-ior play and, as Seniors, attended a very enjoyable Junior-Senior Reception. The weeks following the reception were spent nervously waiting for graduation. Farewell, Rahway High School. ll SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT Eugene Moran Roy Vagelos SECRETARY 1'REA,suRER Evelyn Serson Betty Healey cLAss Aovisens Lucille Carhart LeRoy Potts CLASS FLOWER Carnation ci.Ass Morro Wisdom-peace and liberty n CLASS COLORS Dark Green and White 12 ll 0 gfiffjfi? .

J JH J W ,fiffr ,ff ffl I JUNIOR CLASS After completing our Sophomore year, we proudly looked forward to the job of being upper classmenf' This year we elected the following: president, James Shannong vice-presi- dent, Joe De Salvog secretary, Claire Unchesterg and treasurer, Dot McFarlane. At the close of the football season we sponsored the annual football dance, and the money received from this was used to buy gifts for the members of the team. This was only a small way of saying thanks for the great job they did this year on the gridiron. Another highlight was the securing of our class rings in February. The committee chose them in November and we waited anxiously for them to come. Under the topic of highlights must come our Junior Play. Due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Aszman and the cast, the play Clarence was a great success both socially and financially. lt showed that the Junior Class ha:l some fine talent, and it will be remembered always as a hit. l The money received from the play helped the Juniors together with the Seniors to spon- sor the Junior-Senior Reception which was looked forward to by many. Everyone had his bit of work to do to make it a great social success and one long to be remembered. This marked the end of the activities sponsored by the Junior Class. We wish to thank our advisers, Miss Wise and Mr. Perrine, for the splendid help they gave us this year. 32 , .lp I f V 5, aw' ,hfivjyvy . . uf y Q, V g fi' , ,ff l K iffy Vx :Fi 46,9 .

Our class officers are as follows: president, Edward Purdy: vice-president, George Bell- ingerg secretary, Janet Higginsg treasurer, Betty Seckg student council representatives, Jack Sisto and Walter Hansen. The faculty advisers are Miss Adellrna Lyon and Jason Kemp. 34 SPCRTS m 'lCC7U1PC3ml-r-J: CHEERLEADERS Rahway High School! Rah! Rah! Rah! Team! Team! Team! These eight cheerleaders in their new red and white uniforms at- tended every football and basket- ball game, cheering the teams on to victory. With their pep and enthusiasm, acquired through many long hours of vigorous prac- ticing, the girls helped to bring much school spirit to members of the student body. The squad also helped in spon- soring a Kick-Off Dance, which was held in the cafeteria. This dance was a very successful af- fair. New cheers and formations helped to enlighten all pep meet- ings held in the assembly. Kathleen Cicarell and Joan Mooney were co-captainsg Thorn- ton B. Monez is the faculty ad- viser. BOOSTERS The Booster Club is composed of a group of sixty girls. This year the Boosters' uniforms consisted ol flashing red sweaters, black skirts and red Eton cap-Q. These girls practiced formations, and at all toot ball games they marched with the Band, Twirleis, and Cheerleaders. During the halves they formed many letters and symbols which added to the enjoyment -al the games. The Boosters have helped in lnoostiiigr many activities in Rahway High School. This year five girls received eight-inch chenille' letters for having been in the club three years. and three girls received six-inch letters for having been in the club one or two years. The officers of the Booster Club were president, Norine Painterg vice-president, Ruth Paulseng sevrea tary, Henrietta Marshg treasurer, Joan Reider, The adviser is Loy E. Owen. gwfwffy' B .iw l 3 7 FOOTBALL This year's team was hampered greatly by the lack of trained men. Most of the fellows who were on last year's team graduated and were replaced by inexperienced lads. Coach Earl Hoagland, aided by assistant coaches Robert Berger and Frank Shupper, did his best to turn out a team in short order to compete with the battle-worn veterans of opposing schools. The fellows' grinding training and indomitable spirit produced amazing results during the season. ln the opener, they fell to Dover ll3-Ol. We bounced back the next week to fell Highland Park. The real surprise was our 6-O defeat of Linden, favored heavily in the betting. The next two games were discouraging, but we put up a good fight and were correcting some of our mistakes. The 8-6 defeat at the hands of Union, in the closing seconds of play, marked a thrilling game which we just lost. Plainfield crushed us 45-O but this was to be expected of a school so out of our class. Thanksgiving Day was ushered in on a sorrowful note. Regional fans flocked into town by the hundreds, expecting to see the completion of a perfect season and the massacre of an ancient rival. They went home shaken. An unlucky Rahway team outplayed them all the way to a final score of l2-7. ln such a group it is hard to pick out outstanding players. They all did their best. To mention a few: Taylor, Marchitto, Nadler, Carlin, Ryan, Buhl, Vollman, Duncan, Partenope, Kirby, Wilson, Keller, Rutter, Applegate. lNote: Emil Lovas and Barney Oldfield, post graduates, although not eligible to play, did much to build up the team-they deserve credit too.l 38 BASKETBALL We didnft fare so well this year in basketball. The only games which we won were two against Hillside while we lost the remaining sixteen. lf we could judge by statistics, then the season could be called a bad one. ln sports, . owever, statistics are often misleading. They do not take into account the 1 xexperience of the fellows on the squad, the near-misses which are often neartbreaking, a gradual improvement as the squad becomes more organized, 1nd the sweat and grinding practice and play through which the fellows went. There certainly was no lack of spirit or sportsmanship on the team this year. In that we excelled. The basketball season opened with Don Applegate being the only avail- able varsity player of last year still on the team. Coach Earl H. Walter tried skillfully to build ia winning team around this nucleus, but this lack of veterans proved a little too much for even him. Several of the fellows turned in stellar performances. Henry Vollman under the backboards was always a triple threat. He was one of our best players. Joe Ryan and Rudy Kovacs with their set shots and fighting spirit made everyone aware of their presence. Applegate was an excellent all around performer. Snyder tossed in many a point in the early part of the season but suffered a leg injury near the end. Bacek, Moran, and Escandon, also Nadler, spread a lot of poinlts around be- tween them. Davis, Sharick, Cleland, and Duncan proved splendid ball handlers. Taylor clearly showed his ability in the Regional game. Although these boys won seldom, they were always out there fighting-a threat. Chas. R. Hill served well as manager and Don- Applegate was a shrewd captain. 39 Q sshd? , ,pw BASEBALL Rahway High School has been recognized throughout the state as a baseball power, and justifiably so, too. Since l94O, when baseball was resumed, Coach Hoagland's teams have won sixty-four games, while losing only 37. This is an amazing percentage of .639 Last year Coach Hoagland took a group of comparatively new players and from them produced a winning squad whose vivid record was eleven won and six lost. This record doesn't tell the whole story, if we had had a few breaks at the right time, our record would have been much better. We were winning the Linden game until the last few innings when errors, bad bounces. and timely Linden hits beat us 9-4. Our pitching staff was very good with Duane Rutter winning seven while losing five, Nick Bacek winning three, and Walter Duncan winning one and losing one. Rahway upset Plainfield's powerhouse team, which was driving towards the County Conference title, by a score of 6 to l. Rahway finished the season in fourth place in the County Conference. We won our games from Dunellen, H-ighland Park, Irvington Vocational, Edison, Metuchen, Cranford, St. Mary's, Roselle, Union, St. Pat- rick's, and Plainfield. We lost to Roselle Park, Linden, Woodbridge, Jeffer- son, Westfield and Hillside. Good work, boys! 40 TENNIS Every year, tennis comes more and more into the lime light. Excellent proof of this is the newly con- structed set of tennis courts in the rear of the High School. Students and faculty agree that tennis is fast becoming one of the foremost sports activities in Rah- way High School. This year, the team expects to have a full sched- ule with the top tennis-minded schools of our county. Round Robin and elimination tournaments will deter- mfne those students most capable of serving on the team. The team last year played Perth Amboy and Plngry. lt was then also that the ladder tournament was introduced which proved very successful. Be- cause it created an enthusiastic and competitive feel- ing amonig the players, a similar course is expected to be followed this year. Miss Elysia Philipp is the ad- v'ser of the group. WRESTLING This year will go down in the history of our school for many rea- sons, but one of those by which it will be best remembered is the formation of a wrestling team, the first wrestling team in the history of Rahway High School. Under the guidance of Coach Robert Berger, our first team has made many advancements in all classes. ln our first meet we were thoroughly beaten by a superior and experienced Regional team. But, with the experience gained in matches with Union, Carteret and Somerville, all of which we lost, we came through with a vic- tory over Perth Amboy Z9-IS. Rahway has taken a lot of encour- agement from this victory and hopes to give Thomas Jefferson and Roselle Park, two strong teams, a good fight. On March first we .entered the district tour- nament ar Washington, New Jer- sey. This season may not have been too good for Rahway H-igh, but the future looks much brighter because our present team has seven Sophomores, one Fresh- man, one Junior and two Senior lettermen. GIRLS' ATHLETICS Lena's Hyenas, Christmias Early's, Senior Klunkers, The Gunners, The Mashed Potatoes- these, if you can believe it, are the names of girls' athletic teams in, our school. They are the re- sult of much deliberation, argu- ment, and research. Picking names, however, was only one of the many activities in the girls' physical training program this year. The first program undertaken was a volleyball tournament. For- ty-two teams participated in seven Round Robins. The high- est teams from the individual classes met after school in an elimination tournament and the winner of this play-off was rec- ognized as the school volleyball champion. Philipp's Phollies of second period emerged victorious. Basketball opened a new sport interest for the girls. A. program similar to the volleyball program was carried out, and Junior and Senior teams had sports days with other schools. Cranford visited us and their four teams lost to our Seniors and beat the Juniors by very narrow margins. Westfield, Scotch Plains, and Battin High School were also on the schedule. After playing the games, the girls had refreshments and a chance to talk with each other. Mfss Elysia Philipp and Miss Jean Burgess. advisers of girls' athletics, have planned a tennis program and a softball tournament, if a diamond can be acquired for the spring months. All of these activities are governed by the Womens Athletic Section of the Women's National Official Rating Committee. ' MODERN DANCE GROUP The modern dance group was organized again this year under the guidance of Miss Jean Bur- gess. The group has grown consider- ably this year in size and scope. During their weekly practice, the girls study Humphrey-Weidman Technique, a theory of dance based on the rebound of a falling body. Many intricate rhythm and space patterns are suggested by this technique, which lends alight and airy quality to all movement. Since dance is essentially a crea- tive art, much time has been spent on composition. The group performed three se- lections for the Christmas pro- gram, two dances based on the Nutcracker Suite and the other a dance of reverence to Bach's Ariaso. These girls also per- formed dances to ballads from the American Revolution period. These dances were shown as part of the program to honor the mem- ory of George Washington. Q , CROSS COUNTRY f s Cross country is the first ses- sion of track during the fall. The team members were Donald Parks, George Van Kline, James Shannon, Clifford Perrine, Ray- mond Savacool, Richard Simon, Paul Loman, Richard Parkhurst and Richard Brand. Eugene Mo- ran was captain. This season, the boys had meets with eight other teams. The High School squad won from Union, Jefferson, Cranford, Edison, and Regional. lt was beaten by West- field, Irvington, and Plainfield. Our track team made a very good showing by finishing in the Groups l, 2, 3 of the New Jersey lnterscholastic Athletic Associa- tion cross country championship. Spring track will begin very soon. We expect to see some outstanding performances from Fred Hart, George Van Kline, and Eugene Moran, all of whom did so well for the track tea-m last year. Harry Hanf is the adviser of the group. TRACK Track is a spring sport that includes such exciting events as the 440 yard dash, lOO yard dash, 220 yard dash, half mile run, broad jump, high jump, pole vault. There is also a weight group including events in the discus, shot- put, and javelin throw. The Rahway team held dual meets with Metuchen, Cranford, Linden, Carteret, Hillside, and Regional. Members of the team include Eugene Moran, Willard Van Pelt, Ray Savacool, George Van Kline, Donald Parks, Richard Parkhurs-t, Peter Favorite, Gary Molyneux, James Durand, Donald Milnes, Robert Seeman, Howard Peskoe, Robert Simon, Richard Brand, Paul Lowman, and Allen Buhl. Harry Hanf coaches the team. ' 43 GOLF f Our golf team is still trying to organize into a strong and stable club. Under the tutelage of Mrs. Elizabeth Magnier, it has gone far along this line, but it will 'take time and practice. ln consideration of golf let us review last year's record. We had around eight matches with opponents from Union, North Plainfield, Cranford, and other areas. George Totten was captain and several other boys made good records. We didn't do very well as a team, but we came through to end the season by winning the last match and participat- ing in the Union County Golf Tournament. The Colonia Country Club was very kind in permitting the team to use its grounds once a week for practice and at various times for tournaments. The fellows played also at the Echo Lake course and the one at C-alloping Hill. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The Rahway High School Freshman Basketball Team went throughout this season undefeated in county competition. They are in first place in the eastern section of Union County Junior High School League. Under the supervision of Coach Ray Drake, the Freshman boys have completed an enviable record against teams from Linden, Cranford, Union, and Scotch Plains during the regular season. The season consisted of a home- and-home series with each of these teams leaving the Freshman team with a record of eight wins and no losses. The Freshman boys who make up the team are Charles Mazur, William Roman, Robert Carlin, Jack Sisto, Lee Rutter, Allan Rand, Mike Plescia, Foster Cates, Fred Headley, Hellard Farber, Don Richter, Lawrence Ryan, Alfred Snyder, and Ken Mooney. 44 ACTIVITIES mr-Pb 70190 :Um-100 A M L-.1 ,A. ., 14 ,- Ax V Q .1k,.. ,.,,,.Af -A .

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The highest organization to which a high school student may belong is the National Honor So- ciety. Candidates for this honor are chosen by the faculty on the basis of Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. Our Rahway Chapter i575 of this worldwide institution performs many school services. Chief among these are the maintenance of the Information Desk in the main corridor, selling tickets at all athletic events, pro- viding ushers and guides for all functions, handling the program of American Education Week, and conducting the Memorial Day as- sembly. There are two inductions each year, the first one this year being held on January 9, l947. The first term's officers were presi- dent, Edward Hasbrouck, vice- president, Roy Vagelosg treasurer, James Durand, and secretary, Nancy Alden, The second term's officers were president, Charles Hatton, vice-president, Jeanne Dura, secretary, Ruth Nyimiczg and treasurer, Sherman Ancier. George Sherwood has, as always, served excellently and ably as the club's adviser, The club looks forward this year to several social activities climaxed by its tradi- tional yearly picnic. STUDENT COUNCIL The Rahway High School Stu- dent Council, although in its in- fancy, has done a splendid job in carrying out its purposes. These purposes are as follows: lil to plan and direct student activities, l2l to foster a spirit of co-opera- tion between the teachers and students toward the general and individual welfare of the mem- bers of the student body, l3l to keep high standards and l4l to promote school spirit. The Coun- cil is directed by an Executive Committee consisting of 8 Sen- iors, 6 Juniors, 4 Sophomores, 2 Freshmen, and the adviser. The committee meets twice a month on the second and fourth Thurs- days. The officers are a Senior as president, a Junior as vice-presi- dent and a secretary and a treas- urer which are elected by the Executive Committee. The offi- cers are Charles Hatton, presi- dent, Rick Hall, vice-president: Dolores Corey, secretary, and Barbara Wooden, treasurer. John Gardner is the adviser. MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus has become one of the outstanding organiza- tions of the High School. The chorus is comprised of l IO mem- bers. Each year at Christmas the chorus presents a program of Yuletide choral music. ln the spring of each year the group gives a spring festival sponsored by the High School music department. ln addition to these ,.,A main events, the chorus takesnnumerous trips to sing in various parts of the state during the course., of the school year. g 1 One of the outstanding perfor- mances the chorus eagerly looks forward to each'yea'r is the New Jersey High School Choral Festi- val held in Trenton. An attempt is made to give each member of the chorus, in addition to an experience of singing with a large group, an extensive musical background. ' Thornton Monez is the faculty director of the chorus. BAND Although sprinkled liberally with Freshmen and other inex- perienced musicians, the Band was a stellar attraction this year. Howard Kelly, director, was re- ceived warmly by the members themselves and by the faculty and students of the school. He re- peated his excellent achievements and whipped the band into shape in short order. The band itself, thirty-five members strong, turned out in strength during the football sea- son to rival the best of other schools. Unfortunately, it was hampered because the new uni- forms which it needed so badly were late in arriving. They did arrive for the Regional game and we saw the brilliant display they could make with them. The year was marked by tricky formational arrangements at half-time, which added much to the zest of the game. Not only did the band shine at football games, but also at As- semblies, on Armistice Day, on Decoration Day, and at other civic functions. ,B i . t I i l- llv .LV 1 v if l :JV 'Lay -'-'XJ .aj Ffh x.

The club is a member of the nationally operated Science Club of America, sponsored by Science Service. During the meetings, which are held twice a month, programs are presented by the members based on scientific material and proce- dures. Pictures are shown, and talks, followed by demonstrations, are given on topics of scientific interests. The officers of the Science Club are president, Mary Brophyg viceapresident, Lillian Rodigg secretary, Nancy Dotygtreasurer, Ruth Dembling. Lee Yothers is the faculty adviser. ATOMIC AGE CLUB The Atomic Age Club is a newly formed club in Rahway High School. The first big task was the election and installation of officers. Those elected were Ronald Breslow, presidentg An- thony Palisi, vice-president, Wil- liam Myshka, treasurer, and Jo- seph De Salvo, secretary. Programs were arranged by a student program committee. Some members performed experi- ments based on current literature on physics and chemistry or other sciences. Each experiment period was followed by a discussion per- iod in which members were given an opportunity to ask or answer questions or to challenge the ideas presented. At one meeting, Oscar Rodig prepared a model to demonstrate the probable structure of the oxy- gen atom and explained his view- point on atomic energy. His pres- entation led to many questions and enthusiastic discussion. The club meets bi-monthly in the Chemistry laboratory where there are facilities to perform the experiments and where a scien- tific atmosphere predominates. Fred J. Schmidt is the faculty ad- viser. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS As one of the most active clubs in Rahway High, Le Cercle Fran- cais endeavors to further a know- ledge and appreciation of French culture among its members. Early in the season, the members pre- pared a dinner a la francaise to commemorate Saint Catherine's Day. Musical and art meetings were held, Thornton Monez and Mrs. Margaret Burke explaining the value and contributions of French culture to the world. A joint meeting was held with the Senior Latin Club at which the French Club entertained. The an- nual trip to New York, held in the spring, was well attended. ln helping the French cause, several members have adopted French school children, Every month packages of food and cloth- ing are sent to them. The pro- ceeds from Le Petit Parisien, the French newspaper, have gone to the Free French Relief. The officers of the year are Ted Andrews, president, Mary Andrews, treasurer, Mary Jane Case, secretary, and Joe De Salvo, program chairman. Mrs. Mathilda Knecht is the faculty adviser. LATIN CLUB All Juniors and Seniors inter- ested in Latin culture are eligible to join this society. The first action taken this year by the club was the initiation of new mem- bers in the group.

Members of the club modeled costumes of Mexico and Argentina which were most fascinating. Most of the steps of the Jarabe, the National Hat Dance of Mexico, have also been mastered. The annual trip to New York was well attended and greatly enjoyed by all. The officers for this year were Madeline Oldfield, presidentg Rose Di Virgilio, vice-president, Bruce Boden, secretary, and Gene Escandon, treasurer. Q GERMAN CLUB Under the supervision of Miss Shirley L. Beckert, the German Club really had an eventful year. Organizing in September, the members of the club chose Bertha Jacobi, Herbert Ashby, Oscar Rodig, and Constance Butler for president, vice-president, secre- tary, and treasurer, respectively. Among the many occasions the club celebrated were Hallowe'en, Christmas, and several German holidays. For Hallowe'enl the club held a party: alt Christmas a play was presented for the Deutscher Club of Rahway at the Eagles' home. Besides celebrating holi- days, the German Club went to Irvington to see a German movie and planned a trip to New York. In New York the group expected to see a German play and eat in a German restaurant. ART CLUB The Art Club, usually one of the most popular clubs in the high school, didn't organize until Janu- ary this year. Late organization didn't hold back activity, how- ever, for the group planned many trips and social meetings immediately. Career Day was responsible for a trip to an artist's studio in New York. William Heaslip, who spoke in behalf of art on Career Day, extended an invitation at that time to visit his studio, on February l5, l947. Other events included trips to the Metropolitan and other art museumsg Frank Thorne, president of the club, spoke at another meetingg a joint French Club-Art Club meeting was planned but postponed. ln February several of the members submitted their work at The National Scholastic Art Contest which was held at Bamberger's. Tony Cala won first prize for water color, and Joan McCauley secured an honorable mention in illustration. Other officers of the club are vice-president, Kenneth Lauxg secretary, Carol Levy, treasurer, Lois Rack: Mrs. Mar- garet Burke is the club adviser. PERSONALITY CLUB The members of the Personality Club are from all four classes in school. At present there are twenty-six students in the club.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA The Future Homemakers of America is a national organization of pupils studying homemaking in the Junior and Senior high schools of the United States and Terri- tories. The organization is newly formed this year in Rahway High School. As an integral part of the program of home economics in the schools of America, the organiza- tion offers opportunity for the further development of the pupil's initiative in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. The purpose of the organiza- tion is to bring together state groups interested in and working toward better home and family living, and to provide and sponsor group projects, of local, state, and national scope.

BLUE TRIANGLE CLUB To be of service to her school, her association, and her commu- nity is what each member of the Blue Triangle Club tries to do, This group of thirty-two girls is one of the most active clubs in the High School. The Blue Tri joined with the Hi-Y to sponsor the Harvest Moon Dance in October. The following are just a few of the interesting speakers that the organization enjoyed during the year. Jason Kemp of the high school faculty spoke to the club of his service in Europe during the war. Chalmers Reed told of his experiences with the USO.. and a cosmetician spoke on beauty. l Other highlights of the year in- cluded the candlelight induction of new members, and the annual Christmas party held at the home of the president. The club made several donations to worthwhile drives throughout the year. Miss Thelma Frazee and Mrs. Franklin Kampe are co-advisers of the club. The officers are Mar- jean Kampe, presidentg Nancy Hanf, vice - president: Joan Mintel, secretary, and Peggy Edwards, treasurer. Louise Reilly is chaplain.
