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.

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.
