He came to Prep as a freshman and besides girls and sports, his hobby seems to be poetry, much to the distaste of his roommate, because at times he rises in the middle of the night to write it. He intends to be a doctor, and we wish him as much luck at that, as he has had at Prep.

Many new faces greeted the boys who had Hnished their Sopho- S? gu more year and were now about to attempt a glorious start as Juniors. They were quick in helping the new fellows who did not quite know their way around, for they remembered how strange ' i they felt when they were new. The class already had a president, as it is the custom at Prep to elect the next yearis class officers in the previous June, giving them experience in the ways of the school. The Junior class president was Jack Christfield, well known as a good Sportsman and an able scholar, generally nicknamed Chris, or, as Mr. Holley seemed to prefer, Chesterfieldv. Jack Livergood, full of fun, well liked, and always up to something, was vice-president. Never without a humorous remark, he was known as Lippy,'. The Juniors will never forget Macbeth, nor are they likely to forget Charlie cCllllClC7 Levinston, dreaming through large sections of this great tragedy. But even though English seemed a dull subject to some, it gave the majority a chance to get together and swap information in class discussions, thereby learning what their classmates were like. They remember Mark VV1'ight as a soft-spoken person who likes to talk of cars, Kouris as the little fellow who could never get used to speechmaking, Pfrgr fwrrzry-fozn' although he always tried very hard. There are characteristic sights around Prep that concern the juniors, one in particular is quite well known to everyone, faculty and students alike. It is truly said that you have not seen anything until you have seen George Nebelis station wagon Qcommonly called a heap o' junk , disaster on wheels , a jallopy , flying nightmaref refugee from the scrap drive J, roaring along the highway. All occupants are bundled in as if they were on their way to the North Pole. The jallopy has no window panes and it frequently breaks down on its trips to and from Prep. The passengers have risked almost certain destruction by riding to school with George. Of the twenty-one boys in the Junior Class, the majority are day boys. Fifteen commute from nearby towns such as Parlin, South River, Perth Amboy, Metuchen, and Edgebrook, while others come from homes in New Brunswick or nearby Highland Park. Six of the boys are Trapsters. The junior Class contributed a number of football players to this year,s varsity squad, including Bill fLeftyj Ewing, Jack Christfield, George Nebel, Aubrey Greaves, Jerry O,Brien, and Iim Witte, Don Conhagen was also a star pigskin handler, but he left in the middle of the season to enter the Merchant Marine. In basketball the juniors were represented by the following players: Ewing, Witte, Levinston, Schneier, Gross, Livergood and Kouris. In baseball by Ewing, Witte, Livergood, Kouris and Christfield. Non athletic activities this year were the Glee Club and the public speaking course. The Glee Club, with its sharel of Juniors, gave some very excellent per- formances during the year, as it always does under the capable leadership of Mr. Grove. -- Noisy or quiet, new boys or old timers, boarders or day boys, the juniors formed a well-rounded class. Though a bit wild at times, they show promise of making a noteworthy Senior Class when Prep opens in September.

College Choice: Undecided Service Choice: Maritime Service Page iwfniy-fre Sophomore Class :F-gf? 'fn 1 HE Sophomore class was larger than usual this year, having twenty- two boys. Half of these trudged wearily from the Traps to Prep L every morning, while the remaining half came from their homes directly to the corner of College Avenue and Somerset Street, most of them managing to arrive in time to hear the 8:25 a. in. bell. S Many boys who commute are not always on time, some entering school in the middle of morning exercises, and others arriving during the first period. We give more than usual credit to those who commute from far away places. Horace Dinwiddie has the longest trip, living in Hillside he rises long before dawn, and after monotonous bus and train trips he arrives safely. Others who come via train are Elbert Henderson and Bud Westcott, Jim Stephen ap- pears at school after a gruelling bus ride from Fords. The Sophomores were well represented in football by Linwood Lee play- ing Varsity ball. Jack COffsideJ Newton, and Jack Swallick were stars of the Jay-Vee team, and both played important roles in the 20-0 defeat of the High- land Park Jay-Vees. Last but not least, was the magnificent Microbe team, with three mighty- Inites from the Sophomore class: John CTykej Beaudette, John Carpender, and Mort Cummings. Stan Mann and Jerry Tooey, both Sophomores, carried the water-buckets for the Varsity squad. It might be mentioned that after the victory over St. Peters, Stan took Qby forcej an unwelcome swim in the canal.

Freshman Class I .i QX-fqlq-5 TUDENTS that composed the Freshman class this year were the Q , Q f fP5 usual rowdy, noisy, devil-may-care youngsters always to be found in a Freshman class. As the year matured, they became slightly fjggf M jf, more sober and thoughtful. The fellows coming from Rutgers Elementary School fitted well into Prep activities, and started off the year feeling more at ease than did the boys from other schools. Those coming from the neighboring towns of Parlin, Highland Park, and Metuchen soon became a definite part of Prep life. Among these, Phil Hale, Gerry Poole, and John Witmer caught the train each morning, arriving usually at the last minute. It is said that on many trips to and from Prep, much time was occupied in whistling at the new Wartime female conductors. Bill Sheehy used his shining personality, plus some of his family,s gas coupons, in securing a ride in a cold corner of George Nebelis air-conditioned station wagon. The station wagon furnished not only transportation, but supplied a plausible excuse for daily tardiness. Boys from the Traps were less fortunate. They resorted to old-fashioned modes of transportation: walking, or riding bicycles to and from school. Three Freshmen made the Jay-Vee and Varsity football teams this year, Continued on page 54 Page rnfrnfy-righr Day Boys fa.

In sports the day school has been well represented. Ewing, Christfield, Lee, Witte, Altorfer, Wells, and Nebel were on our spirited, if not too victorious, football team, which, like the other Prep teams was capably managed by john Starr. In basketball Phil Ruegger, Sleepy Bornheimer, and Lefty', Ewing formed the nucleus of the Prep starting line-up, while Witte, Cross, and others did fine iobs on the second team. Day boys on the excellent Iay-Vee team were Lee, Menhart, Sheehy, Schneier, Krauszer, Kouris, and Levinston. Baseball also had its share of day boys. After the midyear exams, when the tumult and cramming ceased, four of the daily commuters C Linwood Lee, Phil Ruegger, Mac Wells, and Ion Uhrj monopolized the H90 or abovei' group. Other day boys on the Honor Roll were: Christfield, Szymanski, Rowland, Alden, Lassner, Witte, Kahrmann, Makoviecki, Poole, and Witmer. In the school band, Iohn Falcone, Don Miles, and Jon Uhr helped enliven the Band-boxi' with their energetic and capable efforts. A great many day boys were also in the very successful Glee Club. There are many things about this year's group of day boys that we shall long remember: Falcone's quips and cranks, Bob Clothier's keyboard artistry, Bomheimer's car which keeps everyone, including Sleepy, wondering how it runs, that prodigious sneezer, Franz Lassner. Those two great conversationalists, Beaudette and Carpender, Buck Ewing's hearty defense of New Brunswick politics, the Metuchen gang, always late in their ancient station wagon, the broad smile of Sea-Level Altorfer, phlegmatic Elbert Henderson. And we must give credit to those who commute from great distances, such as Horace Dinwiddie of Hillside, and Len Cooper from Rahway. Day boys have overcome the many obstacles which commuting offers, proving themselves leaders in many activities at Prep, from the worst in mischief to the best in scholarship.

Delta House NYONE entering the Delta House, when study hall is not in session, A would find himself greeted by a Weird assortment of noises emanat- ing from the basement. That famous basement! Arena for pug- X nacious ping-pong games and bull sessions, the home of the coke machine, and the eternal refuge of the Delta House gang from TTT' the horrors of studying, school, and teachers. The weird noises are undoubtedly the boys discussing their two favorite subjects: girls and the faeult . Uliuon descending into the room, the first sight to come Within our ken is a languid bunch of bones occupying the corner chair, and We observe through the haze of smoke that it's Bill Pfaff. But harkl The 7:30 p. m. study bell has just rung, so We shall have to interview the boys in their rooms. As a matter of fact, Uncle A. Z., We mean General Holley, is on duty. Hence no one Wishes for dareslb to be late. Ascending to the iirst floor, We enter the room of '1Hurry Upi' Klein and '1Ogden Nashv Spencer, Who holds the unusual distinction of having WcJlf', for a middle name, in reality. Fred is telling Spence that if he rises again in the Page lhirty-Iwo middle of the night to write poetry, he will have to get out of bed in the morning with no help, and as even the thought of getting out of bed without a struggle sends a shudder down Spence's spine, he ruefully submits to F red's threat. Before we can see who lives in the next room the sounds of Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, strike our ears and we know that this is George Tracy tuning up. In the far corner is jack fLippyj Livergood furiously strumming through the pages of Familiar Quotationsv, so that when he writes Suzy to-night he can impress her with his newly acquired knowledge. As we leave them, the strains of Without a Song accompany us into the next room in which resides Betsy Holley, the lovely young lady of the Delta House, daughter of Mr. Holley. But as Betsy has work to do, we pass on to General Holley's room, reverently doff our hats to the Stars and Bars on the wall, and sit down in the congenial atmosphere which inhabits this abode. We have a short chat, but Ah, how time .iiiesl We're reluctant to go, but we must, so on to the second floor. As we quietly enter the first room on our left, Paul Cauif hurriedly thrusts a late copy of something or other under the bed, and Dick Fiske pushes Batman 81 Robin into his desk. Whew',, says Paul as he gazes upon us with relief, I thought you were A. Zf' h Well, we know they want to get back to their studies, so we leave as silently as we came and go into the next room. This we find empty, as its former occupant, Bill Cambacz, is now in the Army Air Corps. And what is that Bang-Bang-Bangv? That, my friends, is Caplan pound- ing his typewriter. Bob rooms alone now, as his room-mate Murray Feldman, is in the U. S. Navy. But what is that knocking on the wall of the next room? On investigation, we discover that the knocking is caused by Toughy,' Magee violently tacking up another Varga girl calendar. At his desk, lerry Warner is writing to someone in Ceneseo, we wonder who? His mother, no doubt. We must shorten our stay here because we are afraid of the omnipotent Magee. Mr. Grove is the school's Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, all rolled into one. Among his other attainments, he is a master of Latin and German, and directs the JGlee Club and Band. We listen with delight and watch with amazement as his nimble fingers play our requests. But here again ,we cannot stay forever. We must hurry onl A Five boys live in five separate rooms on the third floor, at least they are supposed to! However, as we enter the first room, all are inside-the unholy five. Bill Pfaff, whom you will remember we originally met downstairs, and Mad Bussianv Potosky, both have their ears glued to the radio, Dink Cod- dington is at the desk writing to a certain somebody in New Brunswick, Cale- donian MacKay is sitting unobtrusively in the corner with his Trig and a box of candy, and jack Betz finnocent owner of the rooml is somnolently reposing on the bed. They are all so preoccupied that they do not notice us come in, so we leave the same way. There is a sixth empty room, on the third floor, where lived until Christmas Lloyd Ienssen, but he, too, is now serving in the Navy. Well, our visit is over, and although loath to leave we regretfully descend to the first floor. Coodbye, Delta House! Scene of many happy memories. Page lhirfy-thru' Gamma House HE spirit of good fellowship which filled the Gamma House this isgefj, Q year is due to a congenial group of boys and the friendly and able x T supervision of the two house masters Messrs. Perkins and Downie. C , J i? 2 7 X 'L c P 43 ' -f . - , . . . . Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, whose hospitality IS well known in the house occupy the first fioor apartment except on Monday and Wednesday evenings when Mr. Perkins lives in the hall, surrounded by a multitude of eager seekers for help in Math. The students will never forget his unending patience and his generosity with his time. Mrs. Perkins, too, is often surrounded by students of an altogether different type, she is a teacher in Rutgers Primary School. The other occupant of the first floor is Mrs. Andrews, whose cheerful dis- position and kindly smile help to make life in the Gamma House much easier. Mrs. Ai' plans all the meals for the Prepsters and gives out the allowances, both important activities. She even has time to serve an occasional cup of coffee, or dispense aspirin to some distracted student. Mr. Downie, first aid in times of language difficulty, or when a boy needs a stamp, a cigarette or a cup of cocoa, makes his home on the second Hoor. His collection of fine recordings has been a joy to the whole house-not to mention the gentleman himself. Dave Henry, Jerry Tooey, Phil Baer, Jerry O,Brien, Arny Sherman, and Ted Fox fill the remainder of the second floor. Dave will go down in history as The Young Man who Sang with the Bandv. Tooey, who is scientific rather than his- trionic, bases his claim to fame on his elaborate communications system. The other four are loyal native sons, and the arguments as to the merits of Hasbrouck Heights, Lebanon, Brooklyn, and Baltimore are many and vociferous. They also have a collection of fine records to supplement Mr. Downieis classics. The third floor is sacred to the Seventh grade, as represented by Bill Graff and the Rie Twinsv-who really have individual names. Pool, basketball, base- ball, nature study, and small doses of commando work, make up the avocations of the twins. Herbert and Henry are often urged by their associates to teach them to speak Czech, but their eHorts to date have not been too successful and the language of the house remains English-or a variety thereof. Yes, life in the Gamma House has been busy, harmonious, interesting, and all hope that the associations formed this year will be enduring. Beta House Qf W' sf HEN all is said and done the Beta House remains the center of Qi most School activity and IS the most frequented house on the X Q X 2 3' Campus The fact that the Beta House houses the Prep dining-hall do with it. As we enter the Beta House we hear a great clatter and we wonder if the house is falling down. On closer observation we see it is Paul Simonson falling, as is his custom, up the stairs. Paul is in a great hurry because he thinks it is dinnertimeg he is very surprised to find it is only 5:15 p. m., that the afternoon study hall has not even begun, and that it is more than an hour till dinner. Most of Paul's talents lie in the musical field. He puffs a mean harmonica and plays the baritone. He is also in the Glee Club. Continued on page 36 5 I IK , Q Ninn Q . . . ti 'ik If - 9 'TQ 'j 5- .

Bob is also in the Glee Club. He played football until a cracked rib forced him to retire from athletics. As we walk into his room, he is busy nailing his radio under the mattress, so Mr. Hogan cannot find it when Bob Hope comes on after lights. At this moment Mr. Hogan saunters in and the plot is uncovered. Mr. Hogan is new this year, but has won a place with the boys. In his English classes he teaches the boys how to write, keeps a highly prized i'Preferred Listv of those who write well enough for publication. On the third floor, strange noises are issuing from Stan Mannis room. It is a relief to discover he is only struggling with his mandolin. Stan is assistant manager of Basketball and Football, and is jointly responsible for the menagerie in the Nature Boom of the Gamma House. Mr. Blake, at last fed up with it all, suddenly shouts above the din, 'KShut up, Mannlv Mr. Blake, a veteran of six years at Prep, combines a dry wit with a patient disposition, causing him to be much sought after by the boys as an advisor. His keen interest in and knowledge of sports makes him an asset to the school. Besides the hours spent in coaching math, Mr. Blake also acted as coach of the highly successful V. Basketball team. Little Lou Peters Robbins pounds up the stairs like a herd of elephants. Lou is famous for being the smallest and loudest boy in the boarding school this year. The Beta House would not seem right without Lou's, But I didnit have anything to do with it, Mr. Blake! echoing plaintively through the corridors. There goes the Study Hall bell! Al Conhagen comes in time to throw him- self on his bed before he is marked late. Al is the athlete of the House, having made a name for himself in Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Mr. Blake has just threatened to toss Mann's mandolin into the canal, Robbins and Simonson have settled down to trading comic books, Conhagen is sound asleep, Mr. Hogan has confiscated Langheinzis radio, and quiet reigns over the Beta House.

HE call for football candidates issued by Coach Holley in the latter part of September, 1943, was answered by about thirty-five fellows, L only five of whom had previously played for Prep. These were Lefty Ewing, Ted Minde, Don Conhagen, Linwood Lee, and f- ' . sg 55934 Fred Klein. The squad was divided into the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. Many of the I.V.,s saw action in the Varsity games, and to them we extend a vote of thanks for being on call when the Iron Men needed a breather. With all the disadvantages of limited manpower and inexperience, the boys were determined to make a good showing. ' SAYREVILLE The season opened on October 9, when Sayreville High played host to the Prepsters. The Bombers were a little more than Prep could handle, posting a 20 to 0 victory in drives of 73, 50, and 40 yards. Even though the final score presented a gloomy picture, there were times when the light shone through. The heads-up playing of Russian,, Potosky and Dink Coddington in the line, and Betz and MacKay in the backfield, kept the score from climbing any higher. Often when a Bomber backfield man would seem to be getting in the clear, Potosky would appear from what appeared to be nowhere, to down him, at other times Betz or Ewing greeted him. Prlgr llzirly-righl WOODBRIDGE On the following Saturday, October 16, the Prepsters traveled to play the powerful Woodbridge eleven, and, as with Sayreville, weight and experience resulted in a 25 to 6 defeat, The Barrons scored in the first, second, and fourth periods. Fumbles proved costly to the Prep cause, bringing about two of the Woodbridge touchdowns. The Prepsters put on a spirited rally late in the second period, with a com- bined running and passing attack, they were inside the 5-yard line when the half ended. We scored our lone tally just before the end of the game, rounding out a passing attack which netted 56 yards in two plays. The first pass, from Betz to MacKay, was good for 39 yards, and on the following play Betz passed to Christfield for the touchdown. These were not the only times our plays clicked. In the second quarter a play good for 20-odd yards, with Minde carrying, was called back because of an offside penalty against Prep. Several times it looked as though Don Conhagen was away for a score, or at least a long gain, but interference failed to develop. HIGHLAND PARK On the following Saturday, October 23, the Prep squad visited johnson Park to play their cross-river rivals. The contest was more hotly contested than the 19 to 7 score indicates. After getting the ball on a blocked kick in the third period the boys of upper George Street started to click. In three plays we gained one yard, but on the fourth down Betz threw a perfect pass into the hands of Potosky on the 3-yard line, and he covered the remaining distance for the score. Don Conhagen's place kick was good. It is interesting to note that we had the ball on the Owl's 3-yard line at the half, and on their 1-yard line when the game ended. It was a heartbreaker. ST. PETERS The Prepsters went to the Municipal Stadium on October 30, engaging the St. Peter's Cardinals with high hopes. But when the final whistle blew, the score was found to be 0 to 0. Both teams had scoring opportunities but muffed them. Starting from the Prep 31-yard line, where they had recovered a fumble, the Petreans moved to the 4-yard line on a series of running and passing plays. A fourth-down, desperation pass was knocked down by an alert Prep secondary. The Prep team dominated the opening period, reaching the Cardinals 14-yard line as the period ended. At the start of the second period the Prepsters reached the 4-yard line, but their attack here bogged down. Continued on page 58 unior Varsity Football e ' Sf HIS season the junior Varsity played two games, both with High- Qfzifj land Park. The first encounter ended in a 0 to 0 tie, while the second resulted in a .19 to 0 victory for Prep. Jerry O'Brien scored the first touchdown just after the opening whistle, the next came on a pass from Krauszer to Mac Wells, who went the remaining A distance, while the last was on a pass from Krauszer to lack Newton in the end zone.

I.efty,' was the leading scorer having a total of 12 points, with MacKay and Bornheimer eaeh seoring 6. NENVARK ACADERIY Another game to rememher was the one with Newark Academy, played on the upper George Street hardwoods. This was a thriller, the lead see-sawing llilgz' fuflj' back and forth throughout. Once again we came from behind, after trailing by as much as twelve points at one time. The Mad Russiani' Potosky definitely amassed a total of 17 points. At the end of the regular playing time the score was tied 38-38, which necessitated an overtime period. During this period Newark scored a basket and won the game. WOODBRIDGE To be sure all of us will remember the Woodbridge game, also played on the home floor. Prep really broke the ice in this game. After the visitors had gained a 4-0 lead the Prepsters began to click. At the end of the quarter the score stood 10-4 in our favor. But during the second quarter the Prepsters ran rough-shod over the visiting Barrons, amassing a 22 point total for that quarter. The half ended 32-11 in our favor. During the third quarter the Prep reserves took over. Then Woodbridge began to score, and our regulars went in to stave off the rally. But they had lost their touch, and it was not until late in the final quarter that they settled down, with Woodbridge only four points behind. The final score was Prep 39, Woodbridge 31. Scoring laurels went to Ruegger, Potosky, and Ewing, with 13, 12, and 9 points respectively. HIGHLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL But the game of the year was that with Highland Park, played on the cross-river court. The gallant never-say-die Prepsters just could not close the gap to victory in the most hotly contested game of the season. Although the Prepsters fought uphill all the way, they just could not be stopped from the second period on, holding the Parkites on even terms and matching their score point for point. In the final period the Owls began to pull away, but the members of Prep Quintet were right behind them. Sleepy,' Bornheimer tossed in a basket from far out, to show that we still meant business, Lefty followed with a layup shot and the Mad Russiani' tossed in a free throw, to make the score read only 39-32 against us. Scoring laurels for the year went Hrst, to Phil Ruegger with 176 points, for an average of 8.8 points per game, second, to Lefty,' Ewing with 143 points, third, to Mad Russian Potosky with 105 points. These were followed, in order, by Bornheimer, MacKay, Harms, Betz, YfVitte, Thompson, Gross, Minde, and Livergood. As a team they scored 597 points, for an average of almost 30 points per game. To the team and to Mr. Heinlein goes a vote of congratulations for carrying on even though the season was not very successful from the standpoint of wins. But one thing that we did win this year as a team was the reputation that we can take it on the chin and ask for more. Letters were awarded to Co-captains Phil Ruegger and Walt Bornheimer, to Walt Potosky, jack Betz, Doug MacKay, Ken Harms, Jim Witte, Lefty Ewing, Ted Minde, Oscar Gross, jack Livergood, and Manager Iohn Starr.

But any- Qfyif' one who saw this team in action knows that the record is mis- leading. Facing some of the best High School jay Vee teams in A,gg,kg-'gg the County, the boys were always very much in every game. Never discouraged by a defeat, they came back to defeat three of their earlier conquerors. lu early December twenty-five boys answered the call for candidates. Thir- teen of these were retained on the squad. Of this number three had played on the Jay Vee team the previous year: Fred Klein, guard, Linwood Lee, center, and Art Schneier, forward. New to the squad were Al Conhagen, Steve Menhart, Bill Sheehy, Charley Levinston, and Jack Krauszer. This group of boys, thc eventual letter winners, was supplemented by Gordon Spencer, Jack Newton, john Swallick, Tom Kouris, and Arnold Sherman. Menhart and Schneier were elected co-captains. SOUTH RIVER XVith only five days of practice and following a two weekis vacation, the team faced South River High on our floor. VVhile defeated, 32-25 by an older, moi'e experienced five, the team showed promise. Art Schneier tallied 12 points to lead both teams in individual scoring. Page fnrlv-11110 ST. PETERS A week later, on January 12, St. Peters High visited us. Prep's tight zone defense was too much for the Petreans to fathom and they finished on the short end of an 18-15 score. SOUTH RIVER On January 14 the team played its first away from home game with South River High. The contest was almost a duplicate of the first one, with South River again victorious 33-25. This game saw Al Conhagen, leading scorer for the season, start his high scoring spree with six field goals. The game was lost in the first quarter when Prep was behind 10-2. ST. PETERS A return game with St. Peters at Columbia Hall followed. St. Peters, away to a fine start, led 13-6 at the half and held its lead through the third quarter. Fred Klein entered the fray at this point, stole the ball repeatedly, pepped up the team, and turned what had seemed certain defeat into a 22-19 victory. JAMESBURC Playing on the stage of an auditorium at Jamesburg High the following Friday, was a new experience for the boys. The game was fast, but largely de- fensive. Prep matched Jamesburg in field goals, but could not match their foul shooting, since only one foul shot was awarded. Jamesburg won 17-13. SAYREVILLE Back home again the next Tuesday, with Sayreville High as the opposition, the team turned in an easy victory 21-15. The entire squad saw action and coasted along after an 8-1 first quarter. WOODBRIDGE Woodbridge High arrived on Friday, February 4. They looked much too big and old for our youngsters, but appearances were deceiving. After an even first half, Prep gradually drew away to win 25-21, with Conhagen, Schneier, and Klein doing most of the scoring. METUCHEN The Metuchen High game was a heart-breaker. Up to this time the Jay Vees had been a great second-half team, playing with poise, and putting on a strong rally to finish each contest. This was an exact reversal of form. Leading 17-9 at the end of the third period, they blew up completely to lose 22-19. NEW BRUNSWICK The second game of the week took us to New Brunswick High to play the Colts. The boys enjoyed playing on the fine big floor with its fan-shaped back- boards, but could not quite hold their opponents in check. Although Klein and Lee scored 15 points between them, their two opponents did a little better with 18. In spite of a fine second-half rally, the Colts held on to win 27-24. JAMESBURC Weary and discouraged after two last minute reverses in one week, the Prep team had still a third game to play on Friday. The opponent, Jamesburg High, boasted eleven straight victories, one of them at the expense of our team three weeks before. The outlook was dark, but Steve Menhart did not seem to know it. Putting on the best one-man show of the entire season, Steve threw one- handers from every angle, dropping seven. Even so, Jamesburg led 22-21 at the end of the third quarter. Field goals by Krauszer, Conhagen, Klein and Menhart in quick succession, turned the tide and resulted in a 31-22 win.

The dance committee for these events consisted 25 of john Starr, Dick Magee, Fred Klein, Gordon Spencer, Mac YVells, Jack Steinhardt, and Don Coddington. HALLOWEEN PARTY Prep's social season officially opened with a Halloweien House Party in the dining and commons rooms of Beta House. The Halloweien atmosphere was achieved by an ingenious arrangement of orange and black crepe paper, with part of one wall in the dining-room decorated like a corn Held, complete with corn stalks, wooden fences, pumpkins, and a big harvest moon, Chairs were ar- ranged around the sides of the dining-hall, except in one corner where cider and doughnuts were offered the guests. Music was provided fboth sweet and hotj from the record collections of Spencer, Klein, MacKay, O'Brien, and Baer. Minde, as usual, was the man to see about a date. Forty couples took part in the dancing, and later there were games with prizes for the winners. The party broke up at about eleven-fifteen. Always to be remembered will be the cider drinking contest between Lon Robbins and Paul Simonson, and the apple-dunking contest in which inany re- , 4, 'Lf A recital and manv other entertainments, our social season was a Q55 f I J J H lst row: Mr. Groveg Falcone, J.: 2nd row: Uhr, J., Baer, P.

THE CHRISTMAS PROM The first formal prom was held in Rutgers Prep gym on December third amid exquisite decorations. The feature of these decorations was the maroon and white school colors in the form of streamers radiating from the top center of the gym, giving the semblance of a giant maypole. Suspended in the center was an inverted pyramid made of pieces of broken mirrors and silver flitter, on which colored Hood-lights played throughout the prom. The dance was attended by about sixty-five couples and many stags. Mr. and Mrs. Shepard, Mrs. Andrews, Mr. Blake, Mrs. Ward, and Mr. Hogan com- posed the receiving line. The captains of the various football teams which we met during the season were present at the invitation of Prep Co-captains Walter Potosky and jack Betz, and they were introduced during the intennission by John Starr, president of the Student Body. The president also awarded the Varsity and junior Varsity letters to our boys. Immediately following the intermission, all took part in the grand march, the Prom ending at one o'clock in the morning, which was all too soon. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY-VALENTINE PARTY On Friday, February nineteenth, our second informal party was held in the Beta House. ,T his party, at which there was dancing as well as many interesting games, was attended by about thirty couples. The dining-room was decorated in maroon and white, with one end of the dining-room given over to the orchestra stage. About the room lamps and chairs were set, and in one corner was the ever-popular punch bowl. The party started at eight-thirty and continued until eleven-fifteen. During the first part of the evening we were entertained by recorded music of varying mood and tempo. After a brief intermission we were accorded the surprise of the evening: the Prep orchestra took the stage and played for the remaining dances. Selections played included Lady Be Goodv, the ever popular Night and Day , Tiger Ragv, and numerous others. The social season, it is expected, will carry through successfully till june, with many more dances and parties. Continued from page 43 SCOTCH PLAINS At Scotch Plains High the following Friday came another thriller. Com- fortably ahead 20-9 at the half, the boys had to freeze the ball in the closing minutes to just nose out the home team 27-26. Bill Sheehy celebrated his return to the lineup, after missing two games, by playing a remarkable defensive game, while Al Conhagen took care of most of the scoring . SAYREVILLE Washington's Birthday was celebrated at Sayreville. Incompetent school-boy ofiicials lost control of the game and the home team won a wrestling match 20-13. Disgusted, but good sports about it, the boys did not take it too badly. Instead they settled down to watch the first girlis game that many of them had ever seen, and the Varsity game which followed.

Glee Club WO T,S Tuesday morning after recess and the Rutgers Prep Clee Club Q7 Q Ig: 7 'Ax 3 .0 ..a!.L5s!,3: riff? i fr if Ll s is gathering in the knotty pine practice room for a period of work and fun. After a few moments of horse-play and uncalled-for vocalizing, the tenors and basses settle down at a signal from Mr. Grove our capable director, and practice begins. Usually in the afternoon or evening, the Orchestra literally shakes the rafters practising in the Band Box at the Delta House. Members of the Orchestra include: Falcone, on the violin, Jack Newton, on the drums, the brass section composed of Jerry WHfD61', Dick Fiske and Douglas Moses, and finally the Wood winds with Phil Baer, tenor saxist, Don Miles, alto saxist, and Jonathan Uhr, clarinetist. Mr. Grove returned this fall with bigger and better ideas, the results of which became evident on the evening of December sixteenth when we gave our Hrst concert in the beautifully decorated gym. The program opened with a trumpet trio composed of Jerry Warner, Dick Fiske and Douglas Moses playing a number of carols. The last of these, Silent Nighty, was taken up and com- pleted by the Clee Club from back stage. The Clee Club then appeared and sang the powerful folk song of Swedish origin, Today there is Ringingv, Baclfs Pilyf' furly-righl familiar Jesu, Joy of Manis Desiringn, and the popular carol, The Holly and the Ivy. The octette, which included Jack Betz, Don Coddington, Dick Fiske, Lloyd Ienssen, Bill Pfaff, Walter Potosky, George Tracy and Jack van Brooklin sang another carol, Sing We Noel Once Morev. A solo by George Tracy, Christ- mas Song , followed, with accompaniment on the violin by john Falcone. The Glee Club offered Carol of the Bellsv, a Ukrainian Christmas song and the ever-popular White Christmasf' The Octette sang that old Latin chant Depone Pistolen, and startled the audience by carrying its free translation Lay That Pistol Down through some varied interpretations, first, as a Dixieland tune, then a Viennese waltz, a Latin-American conga, and finally as grand opera. Another solo by George Tracy, Cantique de Noelv, followed, and the concert ended with all forty-four voices combining to sing Personent Hodief' After the concert most of the boys went caroling on the campus of N.I.C., to serenade the girls, and were very well-received. The evening ended with hot cocoa and sandwiches before the fire in the Beta House Commons Room. Spring Concert The second appearance of the season came on Friday evening, April twenty- first. It was an informal concert-dance on the theme Swingtime in Springtime , and the varied program which preceded the dancing was divided into three sections. The first part consisted of Songs of Rutgersv. The old stand-bys, Hail Mother , In a Quaint Old jersey Town and Down' Where the Raritan F lows led off the program, followed by the new Prep School song, the music and the words of which were written by Don Coddington and Ierry Warner, respectively. The second part of the program called Music of Yesterday and Today , was opened by a harp solo Danse Orientalev, by Mary Elizabeth Davies, a charming music student from N.I.C. Tea for Twov followed, featuring the Glee Club with George Tracy as soloist, accompanied by harp and drums. The orchestra then took over with The Cat and the Fiddle overture, consisting of the familiar 'Ierome Kern tunes. This part of the program was brought to a close by the playing of john Falcone's original composition La Gonda Hop , which is so familiar around school. Songs for a Bright Tomorrow was the last group on the program. George Tracy again was the soloist in the opening selection, April Showersv. A medley called The Sunny Side of Life followed. This was made up of The World is Waiting for the Sunrise , Look for the Silver Liningv, and My Shining Hour , very cleverly woven together by Mr. Grove's arrangement. jack Betz, Don Coddington, john Falcone and Dick Fiske made up a quartet which sang San Fernando Valleyv accompanied by a strange group called The Medieval Instrument Ensemblev, made up of jerry O'Brien and his harmonica, Stanley Mann and his Whistle, Ted Fox and his slide, and Stephen Menhart on the guitar. The concert closed with a medley from Show Boat by Jerome Kern, and given by orchestra and Glee Club. The crowd danced until midnight to music furnished by a juke box. Every- one agreed that this had been a very successful season, thanks in great part to Mr. Grove's efforts, and that it fore-shadowed bigger things to come. Page ferry-nine Science Club AST December a club was organized for students interested in Wkfpievyg science. It is sponsored by Mr. Heinlein, the head of the science department at Rutgers Prep, and affiliated with the Science Clubs fg of America, the only club in New Brunswick having this afliliation. Jack Steinhardt was elected first president of the club and Franz Lassner the first secretary. The Club is organized primarily to stimulate scientific inquiry ,and interest in things scientific. Membership is limited to students who have shown promise in scientific studies. The Club, as a unit, subscribes to the Science News Letterv and Things of Sciencef, Several members have carried on individual scientific projects and told the other members about their experiments. Meetings are held almost every Tuesday during the school term in the laboratory. Discussions are held at these meetings on various articles in the Science News Letterv and the boys talk over their individual projects with other members. Often during the meetings experiments are car1'ied on by the whole group. The most extensive of the individual experiments has been carried on by Ivo Rie and Stan Mann in the basement of the Gamma House, Stan and Ivo have brought together a rather large collection of various animals with which they have conducted experiments. These include two Colden Hamsters and ' new-ff .J Left-Right lst row: Carpender, J., Beaudette, J. Mann, S., Rie, 1.3 2nd row: Steinhardt, J., Lee, L., Lassner, F. Uhr, J., Ruegger, P., Mr. Heinlein. l'ilgz' fifty several white mice and rats, they also have in the collection a gui11ea pig, several toads and snakes, a turtle, and two birds. Stan and Ivo have been conducting experiments on vitamin deficiency in white mice. Two mice, marked Av and Bn on their cages, were given a specially prepared diet containing no Vitamin B1. A careful check was kept on the weights and the general condition of the mice, with a record of results. After nine days one of the mice, which had been given no Vitamin Bl, died, and the other had lost much weight and had very little pep. Another mouse was given the same diet with B1 added in the form of soy beans and yeast. Except for a slight loss in weight because of the change in diet, this mouse kept in normal condition. When returned to normal diet, the one that had lost weight and pep recovered. john Carpender has taken several microphotographs through his microscope. The pictures, most of which were taken of prepared exhibition slides, were taken with a regular folding camera. A demonstration of the fermentation method of bacteria identification was given by john Beaudette before both Biology classes. Franz Lassner presented a very interesting discussion of the Science of Archeology, in which he pointed out many of the interesting methods employed in solving the riddle of the past. Franz built his presentation about the arche- ological studies of the southwestern states. The whole Club also carried out experiments in the chemical identification of various types of cloth. A special dye was obtained, through Things of Sciencev, from the Calco Chemical Company, for uses of identification. Various cloths were then dyed different colors: nylon dyed orange, wool dyed brown, etc. Samples were kept of the dyed and of the undyed cloth, and members of the Club tried to guess which cloth was which. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Heinlein and the leadership of Jack Steinhardt, the Club has endeavored to stimulate a genuine and progressive interest in things scientific at Rutgers Prep. In addition to Steinhardt, Lassner, Rie, Mann, Beaudette. and Carpender, other members are Phil Ruegger, Jonathan Uhr, and Linwood Lee. It is sincerely hoped that the Science Club will continue its active and inspiring influence on school activities in future years. Continued from page 47 HIGHLAND PARK Two games with Highland Park followed in rapid succession. The first, across the river, was nip and tuck all the way, the score tied 20-20 at the end of the third period. In the last quarter, Prep weakened when Menhart fouled out and Highland Park finished ahead 30-26. In the second game in our own gym the home team took an early lead but could not hold it. The score was 13-12 at the half, but the Prep offense bogged down as the Parkites speeded up and coasted to a rather cosy 30-19 victory. NEW BRUNSWICK On March 3. the New Brunswick High Colts arrived for the final game of the season. At the end of the first quarter, the score was tied 8-8, at the end of the third 20-20, at the end of the game 25-25. In the overtime Conhagen sank a foul to put Prep ahead by one point, then a field goal gave the Colts a one-point margin. Finally, with seconds to go, Lee drove in for the basket that gave the Iay Vees the game 28-27. The boys left the floor exhausted but happy, with the satisfaction that comes from a job well done. Page filfy-our unzor Newman Club ,,.,,..Rr7xg NE of the most recent additions to the activities of Rutgers Prep ' is the junior Newman Club, open to all Catholic boys. This Club, which follows the same pattern as the Newman Clubs at Rutgers University, the New Jersey College for Women, and other schools, meets on Sunday evening once every two weeks, to discuss the Church, its history, and current social and other problems of timely interest. . jelq 5 25 '?f r frw fff-QSQQ Father Francis Coan, assistant pastor of St. Peteris Church, acts as Chaplain of the Club, giving generously of his time in attending each meeting. Mr. james Hogan is faculty sponsor, and Mrs. George C. Andrews faculty advisor. The Club, which did not get under way until the second semester, has been unexpectedly popular. The discussions, led chiefly by the boys themselves, have been interesting and instructive, and at each meeting cokes and cakes, quite like the proverbial loaves and fishes , seem to appear at just the right moment. On May 21 the Club received Holy Communion in a body at St. Peter's Church, after which they had a Communion breakfast at the Roger Smith Hotel. Talks were given by several guest speakers, and instrumental as well as vocal music was provided by Club members, with all the boys joining lustily in the singing. Continued from page 26 Five Sophomores showed their athletic ability on the basketball teams. Ken Harms and Oscar Gross played Varsity, while Linwood Lee, Jack Newton, and lack Swallick made the jay-vee team. Frequent mention is made at Prep about football, basketball, and baseball, but one is apt to forget the boys who toughened themselves on the Downie Commando Course. This horror of horrors was created for muscle building. Most of the boarding boys who did not participate in other sports spent their afternoons as Commandoes. They will never find a tougher course in the Army, nor a tougher top kick than Downie. Four of the Sophomores practiced swimming in the University pool each after- noon, although there were no regular competitive meets this year. The four in- cluded: David Henry, Ierry Tooey, Robert Langheinz, and Iohn Beaudette. When it comes to studies, the Sophomores led all the rest. Each month for two consecutive years Linwood Lee has topped the Honor Roll. Besides par- ticipating in all sports, Linwood has ranked first in the school, keeping his average in the high nineties. Some of the Sophomores gained posts on the Prep Clee Club, including first tenors Ivo Rie and Paul Simonsong second tenors Elbert Henderson, Morton Cummings, David Henry, bass Robert Langheinz, The Sophomores held important spots in Mr. Crove's jive band: Iack Newton beat out rythmn on his red hot drums, Don Miles tooted some nifty tunes on his sax. Ivo Rie and Stan Mann maintained a room in the basement of the Gamma House where quite a menagerie is kept in the interest of biology. Page ffty-lula Continued from page 39 NEW BRUNSWICK IAY-VEES Again playing at the Municipal Stadium on November 5, the Prepsters en- gaged the New Brunswick jay-Vees. It was a thriller all the way down to the final whistle, with the Prep team winning 13 to 12. Don Conhagenis passing was a success all through the game, and proved to be the major factor in our winning. Taking the opening kick-off on their 40-yard line, the Jay-Vees marched goalward to score. Prep began their first march from the 45-yard line. Conhagen faked a pass and ran to the New Brunswick 35-yard. He then faded back and threw a 20-yard one to Doug MacKay, who shook loose a few would-be tacklers and romped over to score. Conhagen then place-kicked the vital extra point. Late in the fourth quarter the New Brunswick jay-Vees scored what was thought to be the winning touchdown, climaxing a 67-yard march. But the Prepsters decided differently. Receiving the kick-off with about two and one-half minutes to play, the Prep squad streaked toward the goal. Passes from Betz to Christfield clicked with clock-like precision, and before anyone realized what was happening, the Prepsters had a touchdown and the game. Lefty,, Ewing literally bulled his way through for that Winning touchdown. ST. PETERS Playing once more at the Municipal Stadium, on November 11, the Prepsters again engaged the St. Peters Cardinals, determined this time to bring home the bacon. Scoring touchdowns after passes of 45 and 50 yards, the Prepsters won 12 to 6. jack Betz, just before the end of the iirst half, tossed a long pass to Potosky, who was immediately tackled on the Cardinals 1-yard line. Lefty Ewing carried the mail for the touchdown. In the early minutes of the fourth quarter the Petreans started moving. Two passes, good for 35 and 15 yards, resulted in the Petreans tying the score. lack Betz took the kick-off on his own 10-yard line and returned it to the Prep 40. Betz then faded back and tossed a 50-yard pass to Glue-fingers Christ- field, who grabbed it on the Cardinal 10, and, thanks to a beautiful block by MacKay, raced the rest of the way to score. METUCHEN Going to Metuchen on November 20, the Prepsters ended their season by losing to Metuchen High 18 to 6. Fumbles proved costly to the Prep cause, and the Bulldogs scored i11 the first, third, and fourth periods. In the early minutes of the game it looked as if the Prepsters were going to score, but when two passes fell incomplete, our attack failed. The Prepsters' tally came in the early minutes of the fourth period following a pass from Betz to Potosky which carried to the Metuchen 20-yard line. The remaining distance was covered on the ground with Betz scoring on a 2-yard lun e. P it the Christmas Prom on December 3, John Starr, president of the Student Council, gave out the Varsity and Junior Varsity letters. Those receiving Varsity letters were Co-Captains Jack Betz and Walt Potosky, Don Coddington, Ted Minde, Doug MacKay, Lloyd Ienssen, Ken Altorfer, Lin Lee, Lefty Ewing, Don Conhagen, Jack Christiield, Aubrey Greaves, Gerald O'Brien, Jack Krauszer, Dick Fiske, lim Thompson, George Nebel, and John Starr. Page fifty-lln'c'c Continued from page 28 Bill Sheehy and Al Conhagen, won jay-Vee letters. jack Krauszer, as a result of excellent passing, Won a Varsity letter. The snappy Microbe team, Perkins' Powerful Pigmies composed of a group of smaller boys, was undefeated in a wild and bloody six-game season. Many of these pigskin handlers will undoubtedly be future Varsity stars. The Freshman class contributed a number of boys to the Iay-Vee basket- ball team: Al Conhagen, Bill Sheehy, Jack Krauszer, and Steve Menhart. These boys also went out for the Varsity team but lacked the necessary experience. Participating in Mr. Croveis Clee Club were seven members of the Freshman class: two boys sang first tenor, two second tenor, two first bass, and one sang second bass. Others, not so musically gifted, took part in special public speaking classes. Douglas Moses upheld the class honor by playing his trumpet in the school orchestra, he also won the school Spelling Bee. Continued from page 36 dington and Rod Belanger. Rod left school at midyear, and Dink moved into the lordly Delta House. As we go to press, this room has been re-occupied by Jack Van Brocklin, formerly of the Beta House. Jack's sense of humor and his wide acquaintance with beautiful girls in the Highland Park area makes us sure that the Alpha House is the gainer in this transfer. Horace Dinwiddie was also a resident of the Alpha House at the beginning of the year, but now he commutes daily from Hillside. As Sev slyly pushes the door open, Mort QAlibij Cummings, with a practiced twist of the wrist snaps off The Lone Ranger from the radio. His room-mate, Ivo Rie, better known as Ivy and one of the main pillars of the Nature Room, offers Sev a rubber cigar, explaining that one of the white mice has had snow- balls . Creaking on up the stairs, Sev enters the domain of Ken CSweetheartj Harms. Ken, although hard at work one-fingering his typewriter, politely asks, as is his custom: Anything I can do for you, Sir?,' Next on this floor is lack fSteamerj Steinhardt who is at the moment trying to figure out why the house flooded with steam when he removed the valve from the radiator. Leaving Steinhardt muttering to himself on this subject, Sev comes to the room of Ted QCisco Kidj Minde, as a large placard on his door proclaims. Ted is the only senior in the house. He is busily at work with his set of compact little black books, which he uses in operating his date bureau. Sev hastily leaves before Ted, a loyal Cuban, asks him to finance a new revolution. Sev now returns to his Embryology, and we regretfully take our leave. We do not wish to disturb the peaceful academic atmosphere which pervades the Alpha House like an aroma.
