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
