From the time of our entrance into the high school in Sep- tember, l946, until the following spring, we never ceased to admire and wonder at the accomplishments and maturity of the older students. However, when we had all enjoyed a successful Freshman dance, we were assured that someday we, too, would be all-impor- tant upper classmen. Our class officers for the Freshman year were president, Edward Purdy, vice-president, C-eorge Bellingerg secretary, janet Higginsg and treasurer, Betty Seck. During our Sophomore year, it was proved that many of our classmates would be lead- ers in high school activities. Sophomores were active in all school functions from clubs to athletics. This was preparation for the two subsequent years in which we were to be the officers and star athletes of the school. Our class officers, who were George Bellinger, president, Myrna Kamins, vice-president, Dot Serson, secretary, and jeanne Brelle, treas- urerg planned a delightful Sophomore Hop which we all enjoyed. Our junior class officers, president, Charles lVlazurg vice-president, Donald Winterg secretary, Chester Franklin, and treasurer, Barbara jean Nelson, guided us through a happy and busy year. We ordered our class rings early and were thrilled, when they arrived, to display them as the sign of our growing importance in the school. ln the second half of the year we presented our play, Applesauce, to a large and appreciative audience. The great financial success of the play enabled us to enjoy a wonderful Iunior-Senior Reception which carried out the theme of the musical comedy, The Red Mill. Our Senior year has been very busy and enjoyable. We were overwhelmed in the fall with the outstanding success of our football team which was defeated only in the last game of a nine game schedule. ln November, every member of the class cooperated in helping lVlrs. Aszman and the cast produce an outstanding play, i'Creen Stockings. Soon after the Christmas recess the Allegarooter Staff was named and they started to work enthusi- astically to produce this book. Naturally, the junior-Senior Reception was a high spot in May. On june 4 the Baccalaureate Service was held in the auditorium and we emerged as graduates of Rahway High School, Class of l95O, after Commencement Exercises on june 6, ll SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT ROBERT FRANCIS BUHL VICE-PRESIDENT DONALD F.

What a rude awakening we had! However, we began to feel a part of high school when our class was organized and our officers were elected. john Cox was elected president, Radley Squier, vice-president, Pat Acken, secretary, Ann Archer, treasurer, Miss Lyon and Mr. Kemp were the advisers, We were represented on the Student Council by Dick Cun- ningham and Larry lvan. The big event of our first year was the Freshman Dance. We worked together en- thusiastically and enjoyed one of the best of all Freshman dances. Our Sophomore year started with even more eagerness, and we were marked as one of the more up and coming classes. Our officers were james Polacco, president: Cliff Ward, vice-president, joan lngersoll, secretary, and Ruth Kochy, treasurer, under the super- vision of Miss McClellan and Mr. Dixon. Working with our usual enthusiasm, we early planned for cur annual Sophomore Dance, which was to be held in April. Now we are juniors. Our officers are joseph Rucci, president, Fred Headley, vice- presidentg Ann Archer, secretaryg and joan Ingersoll, treasurer, Miss Wise and Mr. Perrine are our advisers. There were many activities this year. We selected and purchased our rings. Then we held the annual Football Dance to honor our athletes. Under Mrs, Aszman's direction the junfor class play, Tommy, was presented to an enthusiastic audience. Every junior looks forward to the outstanding social event of the year, the junior- Senior Reception. The committees were selected early in April. 35 it I SDPHDMDRE CLASS Since we were Freshmen, approximately two hundred strong, we have contributed much school spirit by entering wholeheartedly into the various activities offered by the school. Those in which Sophomores are outstanding are Debating, Band, Sports, Modern Dance, and Cheerleading. The Freshman dance was a grand success due to the fine cooperation of all. The officers of the Freshman class, chosen during September l948, were Fred Durand, presi- dent, Bill Marsh, vice-president, Betsey Edwards, secretary, and Richard Bowin, treasurer. The new students who joined our class caught the friendly spirit present here and soon felt at home, We are looking forward to becoming upper classmen next year. A wonderful spirit of cooperation and endeavor prevails in our class which we hope will last all through our school years together and after graduation. The Sophomore Dance, held on April l4, was well attended and enjoyed by all. We wish to thank Miss McClellan and Mr. Dixon for their help in advising us. The class officers are Richard Boivin, president: Robert Eadie, vice-president, and Connie Goldsworthy, secretary-treasurer, The Student Council representatives are june Scott, Bill Marsh, Betsey Edwards, and Pat Boresch. 36 t FRESHMAN CLASS On September seventh of this year we became known as the Freshman class. Real Freshmen! We had been looking forward to this goal since we started school. Prior to this we were divided-part at Grover Cleveland School, St. Mary's, and Rahway High School. Those who entered here as Sub-freshmen had the usual feelings of trepidation, awe and bewilderment which accompany any new adventure. However, we soon became accli- mated to our surroundings, thanks to our eighth grade advisers, Miss Morris and Mr, Kuhlman. Both as individuals and a class we have achieved a degree of success this year. Scho- lastically we have had the greatest number of students on the high honor roll. We have had active participation in clubs and in sharing the community projects of our school. ln sports our boys 'have had successful football, basketball, and baseball seasons. Our social high light of the year was our Freshman Dance. Our class of two hundred and twenty-two members was represented by the following officers: president, Katherine Crayg vice-president, Allen Weygandg secretary, Maureen Sauersg treasurer, Arthur Taylor, student council representatives, Pat Martin and Merle Roarke. Our advisers were Miss Lyon and Mr. Kemp. We are looking forward to making the class of '53 one of the outstanding groups ever to have called Rahway High their alma mater. 37 ElGl-lTl-I GRADE The year l949 was a year some l3O eighth grade pupils will never forget. lt was our first step on the long ladder of high school life and, needless to say, it left us a bit dizzy. The first few days of school saw a puzzled group of students wandering about the build- ing looking for their prospective classes, After a few days, however, things settled down and we were arranged alphabetically for all our classes. During the second week of school, we elected officers and Student Council repre- sentatives which are as follows: president, Thurman Latherowg vice-president, George lvlanakerg secretary, lane O'Connorg treasurer, Arlene Laurent, Student Council representa- tives, joe Gassaway and Arlene lvlinch, Next, we took part in the activities of the cafeteria, electing host, hostess, and table representatives. On February l5, we held our first assembly of the year, A motion picture was shown and the class officers spoke on the life of George Washington, The social event of the year came on March lO, in the form of our eighth grade party. Everyone had a rollicking good time that will not be forgotten for a long, lcng, while. Everyone, faculty and students, was really helpful in getting us into the swing of things. At least next year we won't have to dread being just little uninformed Freshmen, We, the eighth grade class, wish to express our sincere appreciation to everyone in l-ligfh School for having extended such a warm welcome to us. lt has been a wonderful experi- ence to have had the opportunity to get acquainted with pupils from other schools, Our advisers were Miss Morris and lvlr, Burns. 38 f r v 'Q ' 1 .ll ,a if .M wr 1 -ggnx' I ESL Cheerleoders The Cheerleaders, with captain, Dot Bacek, and under faculty guidance of Thorton Monez, not only had one of their most suc- cessful years, but also cheered one of our most successful teams to victory. The year was started right when the ten girls appeared in brand new, pert uniforms of red corduroy. This year the girls had the privilege of being invited to the annual Side Liners' Dinner. Besides cheering at all the foot- ball and basketball games, they also cheered at two pep rallies and practically all of the assem- blies. Other members of the squad in- clude: Shirley Smith, loan Reider, Carol Martin, Kathleen Schaefer, Deborah Millman, Gertrude Van Note, Eileen Kelly, Temple Ann Scafati, and joan Brundage. Twirlers This year the Twirlers of Rah- way High School added a spot of glamour to our football games. They made a pretty picture in their sparkling white uniforms marching across the field of battle. During the year they pre- sented us with many new, in- triguing, and difficult routines. The girls also participated in the annual band concert in February. They marched in the city's Hal- Iowe'en parade and in the Me- morial Day parade. Myrna Karnins and Mildred Nadler proved to be very capable co-captains. Other members of the squad this year were loyce Donnelly, Laurel La Coss, Lucille Gagnon, Etta Cipolletti, Kathleen Clennon, Margaret Gates, lane Kirtley, Betty Nepp, Doris Fraser, and Martha Landrie. Miss Eliza- beth McManus is the adviser of the group. 9 l FGGTBALL The co-captains of the football team this year were Stanley Ziobro and james Falesky. The Rahway team earned a brilliant record for l949 with only one defeat in nine con- tests. The first game saw the Rahway squad triumph over Dover by a score of 27-O, fol- lowed by a victory over Highland Park, the final tally being 20-O. Gaining momentum, the squad crushed Linden by the overwhelming score of 44-O. Cranford was duly defeated 35-O. Thus far the Rahway eleven had not been scored against. Roselle Park, however, scored twelve points in the next game, but Rahway had a total of 55, making the great- est tally of the season. Scotch Plains was defeated 27-6, followed by a victory over Sum- mit, the final score standing at 26-6. Roselle was beaten 39-6 the following week. Rahway was finally defeated by Regional on Thanksgiving Day 7-27, but the squad fought valiantly up to the final whistle. The team, however, would probably not have enjoyed such success without the able coaching and direction of Mr. Earl Hoagland, with his assistants, Mr. Berger and Mr. Burns. The letter men of l949 were as follows: Michael Varadi, john Sisto, Cliff Ward, Her- bert Castor, Patsy Abate, Lynn Rutter, james Falesky, George Lechner, Tony Cherubino, Robert Nolan, joe Brusco, Albert Smith, George Lewis, james Polacco, Robert Ray, Chester Franklin, William Schmidt, Charles Amasio, Stanley Ziobro, and Nate Smith. To complete the season in good Rahway tradition, the Rahway football team went on to tie with Clifford Scott for the Group 2 State Championship. 42 A l BASKETBALL This was probably one of the finest seasons of basketball ever enjoyed by the Rah- way High School basketball team, The squad, as a whole, earned a great deal of admiration from the High School this yearg but the success of the season is due a great deal to the able coaching of Mr. Earl Walter and his worthy assistant, Mr. john Kuhlman. The first game of the year saw the Rahway squad upset the powerful team from Re- gional by a score of 38-30. ln the following three contests Rahway was victorious every time, defeating Linden, 68-363 Cranford, 58-4lg and Saint Peter's, 44-37. For the next three games the squad was not quite so successful, but the scores were very close: Linden, 5l-54, Plainfield, 40-4lg and Thomas jefferson, 42-43. The team came back, however, to show their prowess by defeating the Alumni, 49-36. ln the return contest with Plain- field, the Rahway basketball squad vindicated itself for the first defeat by downing the Plainfield five, 58-47. Highland Park was subsequently defeated, 44-40, but the follow- ing contest was yielded to Hillside, 38-44. The Rahway squad was victorious over Cran- ford and Edison, but bowed to Roselle Park and Regional in the next two contests. The formal season ended with Rahway triumphing over St. Peter's by a score of 42-38, ln the county tournaments Rahway defeated Scotch Plains, 55-40, but bowed to jefferson. The following two games in the state tournaments saw Rahway defeat Newark Arts and Cranford. The team lost the final game to the undefeated Millburn team by the close score of 58-6l. The lettermen of the basketball season were as follows: lVlazur, Clinton, Hansen, Charles Amasio, Nate Smith, Sisto, Koch, Crewe, and Farber. Also receiving a letter as the manager of the team was Thomas Schimmel. 43 BASEBALL The co-captains of the l949 baseball team were Norman Davis and Harry Reiser. Al- though the Rahway baseball squad had not reached the preeminence of the football team, its record is most admirable. From a total of eighteen games, the team enjoyed twelve victories. Coach Earl Hoagland, assisted by Robert Berger, turned out a fine team this year and guided the baseball squad through a very successful season. The Rahway team began the year in fine fashion by winning the first five home games, the most impressive victory being the defeat of Edison by a score of l6-O, The other four starting games stood as follows: Cranford, 4-Og Highland Park, 5-43 Regional, 5-3g and Dunellen, 7-l. At the sixth game the Rahway baseball squad suffered its first setback at the hands of Linden, O-2. The squad came back, however, to defeat Metuchen and Saint Patricks In spite of losing the following game to Saint lVlary's by a score of 3-4, the team defeated one of Rahway's traditional rivals, Roselle, by a tally of 5-l. Defeats were sub- sequently suffered at the hands of Union, Westfield, and Hillside. ln the interim, however, the squad triumphed over Holy Trinity, jefferson, and Plainfield. The lettermen of the baseball team of l949 were as follows: Norman Davis, Harry Reiser, john Bodnar, Roger Hone, William Crahill, joseph DaPrille, Stanley Ziobro, jack Sisto, Richard Ruddy, Nate Smith, Ceorge Lewis, Charles Amasio, and Charles Hill. The climax of the season was Rahway's postseason victory over Roselle Park, 4-3, thus winning the Croup 2 State Championship. 44 Cross Country With only one letterman left from last year, Mr. Schmidt's squad of fleet marathon runners had little hope for a champion- ship year. The veteran holdover was Loren Zimmerman who car- ried the torch for Rahway along with co-captains, jimmy Camp- bell and Larry Ryan. The team was victor over Cranford, but lost to stronger teams: such as jefferson, Edison, and Regional. It took a lot of time and hard work to whip the boys into shape and although the year was not a success on the books, it was successful to those who were in there working hard towards victory. This year's let- termen were Loren Zimmerman, Ken Watson, Larry Ryan, Bob Eadie, and jim Campbell. Alvah Clark was the team manager. Trock The team, as a whole, experi- enced a very successful year in contrast to the not so successful season of the preceding year. George Robbins won first place in the half-mile Group 2 State Meet, Robert Simon tying for first place in the high jump. The most note-worthy members of the squad were George Robbins. james Pettit, Robert Simon, and james Campbell, The most out- standing contests of the year were the Long Branch Meet and the Medley Relay, in which the track squad, as a group, took third place. George Robbins and Robert Simon were co-captains and Mr. Fred Schmidt, the coach. Tennis As this book goes to press, the Tennis team has a tentative schedule of twelve games set up tor the spring season of l95O. Although the team is young and i-nexperienced, the adviser, Mr. Edward Perrine, is preparing for a successful season. Last year's team was unable to receive a full report since the team had not or- ganized when the yearbook was printed. They deserve praise for their score of five games won and six games lost. The team con- sisted of Richard Cunningham, Charles Colodner, Richard Oh- weiler, Fred Roche, Dudley Painter, and Howard Peskoe, Wrestling Wrestling at Rahway High be- gan its fourth season this year. Although Coach Berger's squad was fairly large, there were only five lettermen back, and the team was hampered by a few injuries during the season. Much of the material was green, and a lot of hard work and training was need- ed to whip the boys into shape. There were ten matches this sea- son, and the Rahway men took tour of them and dropped six. We won victories over Regional, Perth Amboy, Union, and Car- teret, while we were outpointed by St. Benedict's Prep, Roselle Park, Plainfield, Somerville, Bound Brook, and Thomas lef- ferson. The captain of this year's team is Stanley Ziobro. Girls' Athletics Every girl in Rahway High takes part in this activity five days a week unless excused for physical disability. Few absent themselves from class and a large portion of the girls take part in tournaments and Sports' Days. On a Sports' Day about one hundred girls have the opportu- nity to meet girls from other schools. A social period during which the girls learn about the programs of other schools follows the competitive games. Round robins are held for the three major sports: basketball, volleyball, and softball. Winning teams from each of the seven gym classes play to determine a grand winner. Each member of the win- ning team receives a varsity letter. Many activities fill the periods between the seasons of the three major sports. The girls all enjoy square and tap dancing, march- ing, first aid, archery, tennis, golf, tumbling, stunts, light apparatus work, and exercises. The program is so varied that each girl may End some activity which she enjoys. Miss Elysia Philipp is the girls' adviser. 47 Modern Donce Group The Modern Dance Group has always had to work with many handicaps, due to the numerous other C-irls' Activities. Dancing requires much time and a good sized space which are not always readily available. The group that turned out for the club was so enormous that various classes are held: the beginner group meets on Monday and Fridayg the ad- vanced group, on Tuesday and Thursdayg and many girls prac- tice in their free periods. A dance assembly program was presented in April, the first time the group presented an entire program for their fellow students. Exchange programs were held with other schools to broaden each rnember's knowledge of the dance. This year the group has seri- ously tried to interpret both the classics and popular music. Due to the amount of work on the part of everyone, the group has shown much improvement. Each girl claims she enjoys dancing even though her feet do get dirty. The adviser is Miss Elizabeth Mclvlanus. Fl! fweiff I 1: ,ip- fl' .Q-', wma, 4 ' am 1 ', I 1 'xy ,. . v? 1 - YI., 19 M11 saab? vp .

Twenty juniors and Seniors were made members of the society this year, George A, Sherwood as acl- viser helped the group to carry on a very successful year. Among the many services and activities performed by the so- ciety were sponsoring of many important assemblies, staffing the information desk, participation in the National Honor Society Achievement Test, and providing ushers and guides for many func- tions, They also enjoyed many social events including a celebra- tion of the fifteenth birthday of the Rahway chapter and the Tan- nual picnic. In all of these activities and in those of the individual members, the four requirements for mem- bership, Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character, have been demonstrated.

A new heading or format was designed which depicts all the various departments of our school and community.

The vocations discussed were selected on the basis of a survey made throughout the school several weeks before the conference. About twenty-five informal lectures were presented and each student could attend two of these. TRADE AND INDUSTRY COURSE The Trade and lndustry Course was originated in l928 by Mr, Arthur Perry and a group of industrial leaders in Rahway. lnstituted as a result of a need for vocational training, the T G I course requires that students attend school and work in industry in alternating weeks. The two most outstanding group activities of the class were the sponsorship of the T G I movie, The Man in the Iron Mask, and T Cr I picnic at the end of the school term. For the picnic every student was obliged to invite his employer from the factory in which he worked. The T G I plan, as a whole, yields not only a close student-employer relationship, but also provides an intimate acquaintance with industry. 68 Q I CDDS and ENDS 'ffm- M 'T Wim' ., 4. 1 Af, 11 ,+ Y. ig?-' wg-1.1 Fifi-g-,L :grid w 'z' ff , V-,u.jfg.L ,i,f:.f'u v, .4W.6,'L 5535 ' 'url' i V H E 112-M4 . if 1 x,,v:,, H, if-Q - 'Q A, 1 , -2 p ,,,I'g'- 1, ,Q A gf-'JH gjfefuleu! .

A lot of things are said in fun By people every day: The people often do not think What harmful things they say. We often wish we were someone Other than who we are. just think if, you were that someone Who then would be your star? We always leave our school in june With thoughts of fond delight. The summer months drag on and ong It's school again 5 O Spitel I wish I were a little bird Flying in the air. l'd fly South in the wintertime And not pay any fare. In history we read a lot About things past and doneg But what has always puzzled me, Is Wlhy not have some fun?', I like to work at chemistry All in the class agree. Poor Mr. S. tries awfully hard, But it does not like me. l've often wondered why it is That when I take a test, The things which I did study less I should have studied best. When homework gets too much to bear One thing makes me feel gay I close my eyes and dream about My graduation day. 76 y It seems that everyone of us ls bent on bookish lore. Perhaps we all should realize The way we live means more. lcan't think of a thing to write, Although l rack my brain. To tell the truth, l really think This ballad stuff's a pain. You know I think l've strained my eyes From trig and long division. lt's strange they never hurt too much To look at television. The phones are clicking on and off, The children shout Hoorayl Snow clogs the roads and stops the cars, There is no school today. There once was a young girl from Burton Of her true love she felt very certain, But she didn't know Her boy friend named joe With other young girls was a flirtinl There was a young man known as joe, Who wanted to be not so so, But who loved baseball true And soon led Casey's crew To a flag, 'gainst a murderous foe. There once was a fellow named Lear, A most likeable chap, so I hear. He butchered his wife With his favorite knife: Then said, How l'll miss you, my dear.' A leopard was feeling so gay, He wanted to go out to play. The pit was quite deep, But out he did leap And frolicked the rest of the day. There was a young lady from Thiel Who rode in an automobile. There was a big crash, As a train she did bash: Now the lady from Thiel isn't real. 77 1 Tl-IE REID ond BLACK Our glorious colors, red and black, Float proudly to the skyg We'll sing to thee, dear Alma Mater, Of love that shall never dieg We'll strive tor thy glory eternal, Keep thy stainless banner high, lnspiring each son and each daughter, The noblest aims to try. All thy tame and thy spirit, thy might are ours As the swift years hurry by. CLASS SONG Commencement time is here. Soon we shall be departing, Leaving friendships we hold dearg Our memories ne'er parting. Though we now must leave, Our hearts will ever grieve. All the joys of Rahway High Shall ever in memory lie.
