Stancling-Alfred Smith, Presiclentg Clark lngrahm, Treasurer SENIOR CLASS HISTORY . They Were Themselves And so they Were! Looking back over the activities that the members of the Class of '29 have engaged in, one cannot help noticing how different this group is from the others that have graduated from R. H. S.I Let's see just what they have done. In 1925, a young-looking mob of Freshies an- nounced their arrival. Prospects were very dim, but on-lookers could not see how full of hope and ambition they Were. With Herbert Leighton as president, Douglas Luckey, vice-president, and Chic Hart- man secretary-treasurer, they made their debut, only to find that in February they would be divided, as the Junior High sys- tem was being installed. Eighteen stu- dents led by Alfred Smith and Ruth Clough were sent to the new Union Junior High School. Here, they presented a one- act play, The Ghost Story, besides doing various other things to show their class spirit. The forty other students who were sent to Park School under the leadership of Herbert Leighton and William Bailey, were also very active, presenting the one- act play, Travelers. On Class Night, these 9B's combined again and marched in the annual parade. This was the last time a Freshman class has been included in this affair. So, at the end of the 1926 spring term, the class of '29 had fully initiated the new school system, being the first graduates from junior high schools in Rutherford. In the fall of 1926, we find a splendid moulding of the class, but with a strong spirit of rivalry. Elections were held, and as a result, Jack Wilson was elected presi- dent, Alfred Smith, vice-president, and Dorothy Brown, secretary-treasurer. Much interest was shown in sports and clubs at this time, and the class also made them- selves known socially. Financially, they supported themselves by selling Christ- mas cards. A successful dance in Decem- ber was followed by some original after- noon dances,-an idea that was soon copied by other classes. On Class Night, a night of hilarity, the 29ers dressed as clowns and had no end of fun. On Soph Day, a memorable Saturday, Lake Hopat- cong was visited by about eight carloads of sporting students. In the fall of 1927, Herbert Leighton, Wesley Woltman, Margaret Wharton, and Ruth Ross took charge and directed the year's program very successfully. Ath- letics and clubs were crammed with Jun- iors eager to do their best. A cake sale reaped a large profit, and so did the at- tractive Junior Hop. Then, on one oc- casion, the class witnessed a performance of the play, Macbeth, in New York. This experience seemed to stir the dramatic spirits, and when the E. T. D. and G. O. plays were presented, a majority of the members in the casts were Juniors. On Class Day, much praise was given the colorful old-fashioned Dutch costumes and the amusing skit that caused a great deal of Sophomore distaste. Later, on an- other memorable day, about twelve car- loads traveled to Asbury Park where all amused 'themselves horse-back riding, swimming, and having a good time in general. At last the fourth year! President Al- fred Smith, Vice-President Peal, Secre- tary Ruth Clough, and Treasurers Doug- las Luckey and Clark Ingraham success- fully steered the class through the round of events. Starting off with a bang, the Senior Social with its attractive decora- tions made a great hit. Then, the girls made a fine showing by winning the inter- class championship in hockey. The Senior Dance, besides being a social success, brought in the best financial profit ever made at a high school dance. Class Night also was a great success with its hilarious skits, its cheers, and Tommy which proved to be one of the most interesting pieces of dramatic work ever done here. tRah! Rah! for Miss 'Brownlj Altogether the year' has been crowded with interesting happenings to be added to our memory collections. There are also several important events scheduled to take place as this article goes to press,- tennis, exams, the G. O. Prom, Senior Day, and Commencement. '29 has enjoyed high school,-its work, its fun, its friendships. In all modesty, too, we feel that we have helped contri- bute to its welfare, socially, financially, and scholastically. '2'?3 33n23 T0 MISS OWEN For hours of pure enjoyment In fun or deepest thought, For your friendship And sincere interest In us all, We cannot even breathe Our thanks- But only Whisper, We'll miss you.

Farnham, Presiflentg William Little, Vice-President. JUNIOR CLASS All aboard, folks! The airship R. H. S. 1930, one of the largest and finest planes in Rutherford, is now leaving on a non- stop flight to graduation. The first year's trip was a good start for any Soph Class. The pilot was Dorothy Cave, the co- pilot, Alma Savage, the chief mechanic, Nancy Applegate, and the navigator, Frances Stevens. For the amusement of the crew and passengers, we entertained with a social and a dance. By the end of that year we were seasoned flyers, and could vie with any class. We have as officers on this second leg of the trip: John Farnham, pilotg Wil- liam Little, co-pilot, Alma Savage, chief mechanicg and Edward Berry, navigator. This is certainly one fine trip! The get together of thefcrew this year in October was a good feat of aviation, but the crowning event of the year was the great night flying exhibit in December. This came just after Thanksgiving to welcome Mr. Tryon and his successful football team to the traditional Junior Football Dance. Then the crew also had a festive time at the Junior Day outing. Some of the notables in the aforesaid crew are Anna Disch, Anna Huber, and the championship basketball team they coached, Harrison Otis, Raymond Koehl- er, Worthington Gregory, of the Cross- Country team. We were also quite well represented on the football team by John Farnham, Sidney Schweid, and Mathew Love. We've done good work so far. Watch our high flying next year! JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS 41 SOPHOMORE OFFICERS Seated-Vivian Thomas, Vice-Presirlentj Doris Hackett, Secretary, Stancling-Vi11ce11t Flanagan, Presidentg George Miller, Treasurer. SOPHOMORE CLASS Seniors, and Juniors, beware! The Sophs will get you if you don't watch out! Yes, here come the Sophomores. Look at our picture and see if We're not the merriest group of Sophomores that you have P ever seen in the pages of a RUTHERFORDIAN. But what has this famous class really done this year? Well, first of all we elect- ed our officers. You can see these celebri- ties by glancing at the top of the page. You will discover that Vincent Flanagan is president 5 Vivian Thomas, vice-pres- identg Doris Hackett, secretary, George Miller, treasurer. We have been very for- tunate in having good ofiicers at our head. We have held two social events-the Class Party, which was held on November tenth in the gymnasium, and the Sopho- more dance. The latter merrymaking was held on March Iirst and will be remember- ed on every March first for years to come. Joe Hanas furnished the music, and the Gym was very skillfully and effectively de- corated. A number of capable committees ran the affair to perfection. We have not been backward in athletics either. These have earned letters: Mau- rice Bullard, Raymond Ferry, William Payne, Edward Dawson, Sonny Port, John Sitarsky, Robert Stuart, Elmer Pet- tingil, and Robert Barrere. The Sophomores have just started, how- ever, and we're going to do a lot before we graduate.

Across the northern part of Maine sprawls the countylof, Aroostook. The greater part of it consists of mountains, woods. and lakes, and therefore but few towns are found within its borders. The valley of the Aroostook, however, is noted for its fertile farms and the fine quality of the corn and potatoes which they pro- duce. About eight miles north of the town of Washburn was the farm of Bill Dye. The house was located on a by-road, which latter dwindled into an abandoned wood road beyond the confines of the farm. The farmer was a tall, raw boned man, six feet three inches in height, and very broad at the shoulders, his body, tapering to the hips, being supportedby well proportion- ed legs. His weather beaten face had the texture of leather, excepting where the skin was hidden by the stubble of his beard. In his youth Bill had been the leader of the young people of the district, but the death of his father, soon after Bil1's mar- riage, brought him the farm, which he found to be in a run down condition and heavily encumbered with debt. Instead of migrating to the west, as so many of his friends had done, Bill turned all his ener- gy and strength to the management of the farm, determined that he would pay all debts and make a living for himself and family. To accomplish this no money was ever spent except for necessities, for Bill was wise enough to realize that poor equipment was not true economy. At the time of our story the homestead and barns were well painted and protected against the elements, Bill's cattle and horses were second to none in the district, and all of the farm machinery was in first class order. The splendid condition of the physical property of the farm made the shabby ap- pearance of the family stand out in sharp contrast. The deft fingers of Eliza, his wife, managed to keep the children and herself fairly neatg it was only Bill's clothing that was nondescript. None ever knew where he obtained the miscellaneous garments that clothed him, and when a former boyhood friend, Tom Patterson, one day in town, told him he looked like his own scarecrows, Bill Dye struck the other such a blow that he landed in the horsetrough. After that no one in the community had the courage to express his thoughts to his face, although sometimes the boys would derisively call the epithet after him, but Dye was generally so far away that there is much doubt that he ever heard them. With the passage of time Bill's grim management had succeeded in paying off the mortgage on the farm. Eliza then hoped he would relent in his savage eco- nomy, and that the family would be en- abled to enjoy some of the comforts of life. But Bill's economy had become miser- liness, and there was no relenting in the stingy manner in which the necessities of the household were provided. In fact, an- other object had succeeded the payment of the mortgage as the moving spirit of Bill Dye's energy. The fear that in his old age he might become dependent upon others seized him, and the amassing of a competence governed his every action. It went so far that he even took away from his ten year old son fifty cents which had been earned picking berries for neighbors, and which the boy wanted to save to buy some modest fishing tackle better than that which his own ability had provided. The past summer had been an excep- tional one in the Aroostook Valley. The weather had been very cool, accompanied with a great amount of rain, with minor Hoods in the low lands. The potato crop had been a failure and the corn was very poor, the only advantage being that there was plenty of fodder to go into the silos. The Dye farm, however, had not been af- fected as adversely as the others, due to its higher situation. Dye's corn was no better than that of his neighbors, but he had harvested an unusually fine crop of potatoes. Possessing ample means, and having proper storage space, Bill Dye did not have to sell a crop as soon as it was gathered, but kept it in possession until he was assured that he was getting the true value of his product. Winter had now come, and Bill decided he would take a load of potatoes to town. As each bag was brought out of the cellar, it was sprinkled with water, so that the ice which formed would protect the pota- toes against frost until they had been de- livered to the general store in town. Bill Dye was never miserly with his time when it was a question of waiting or bargaining to get the price which the market indi- cated he should get, so it was well past noon when the sale of the potatoes was completed, and a glow of satisfaction per- vaded him as he placed a check for a sub- stantial amount in his wallet. Amos Adams, the storekeeper, was never able thereafter to satisfactorily ex- plain what then happened. When all other subjects fail the old gossips of the village still debate as to whether Amos asked Bill to look at some clothes, or whether Bill took the initiative. But whoever was re- sponsible, the close-fisted farmer did stop and look at a warm overcoat. After a great deal of discussion and bargaining, and much inward misgiving on the part of Bill, the latter surrendered, and the first store clothes during a period of twelve years passed into his possession. Encouraged by his success, Amos suggest- ed a suit of clothes, but Bill calculated he had bought enough. Don't cost ye any- thing to look at them. retorted Amos. Bill looked and fell, although it was a laborious process. No ordinary man can succeed as a general storekeeper in a town of Maine Yankees unless his capacity for bargaining is raised to the ninth degree, which it was in Amos Adams' case. It was a case of Greek meeting Greek, and it was late afternoon when the battle end- ed, with Bill Dye in possession of an over- coat, suit of clothes, new hat, shoes, shirt, underwear, gallusses and, most unneces- sary in his own eyes, a cravat. But the worst has yet to be told. Joe Michaud, the French Canadian barber, was dozing in his own chair when a tall, taciturn man strode in and demanded a shave. Joe, whose penuriousness was only exceeded by Bill Dye's parsimony, always boasted about the transaction, and if his word was doubted would point with pride to the thin dime glued underneath the glass top of his modest cigar counter as the one spent by 'Monsoor' Dye on that momentous occasion. Carefully placing the box containing his purchases under the seat of his wagon, Bill mounted and started for home in the dusk of the early evening. He now felt op- pressed by what he had done, and debated within himself the folly of his proceed- ings. Anyhow, he thought, what was done could not be altered, and he might as well put the best face on the matter. With his conscience quieted, he could give thought to what others would think of him, and he even chuckled to himself as he considered how Eliza would be surprised. The new train of thought pleased him, for in spite of his dour nature he loved his wife and children. As the team slowly climbed the rough, stony road approaching his home, he continued to visualize what the effect of his purchases would have on Eliza. A sudden thought came to him as the wagon came to a bridge spanning a rushing brook, and the horses were thrown back on their haunches by a sudden pull on the reins. By gum, but I'll surprise Eliza, said Bill to his team. Standing up, Bill Dye proceeded to un- dress, and cast each garment into the brook as he disrobed. When he was entire- ly divested of his scarecrow clothing, he reached under the seat for the box contain- ing his new wardrobe. The box was gone I ! I Ten minutes later, his wife, alarmed by his long absence, hurried out to the barn when she heard the horses turn in. Bill Dye spoke truly, Eliza was surprised.

Seeking, seeking The discard, I stumble: It is found- But, too late. -Eugene Rybicki, '29, Pencils HOWARD PLATTS This story received the first prize in the annual competition sponsored by the Woinen's Reading Club. It may be superfluous to state the great importance of pencils in the present day, but the use of pencils and their numberless types and characters go quite unknown and unthoughtof. Among the few but great methods of expressing thought in a readable form pencils hold first place in spite of printing presses, typewriters, and even pens. Did you ever consider the position of the pencil as a writing instrument? I can an- swer for you. No, you never did. Pencils are the workmen, the laboring class, among writing implencents. Their lowli- ness is exaltationf' Most great modern works had their beginning in notes inscrib- ed in pencil. The great printing presses are fed indirectly by pencils. The reporters on the big dailies use them, as well as au- thors, businessmen, housewives, storekeep- ers, and people in every other walk of life. Is it possible that there is anything of everyday use that shows as much charac- ter as a pencil? I think not, for there are as many varieties of pencils as there are leaves on a tree. Each is the reflection of its owner, formed by his hand and habits, and partaking of his faults. Pens are dif- ferentg they remain the same even after long use. To begin with, pencils are found in many styles each of which is suited to a different user. Occasionally we see large, gaudy, gold-trimmed mechanical pencils, and we know immediately that here is a person who loves show and does not do much writing, for these pencils are heavy, awkward, and almost useless. Dainty lit- tle pencils hang from bridge tallies, but these, like a pet poodle, have very little character. The real work of the world is done by the wooden pencils bought at the five and ten,-five cents each, or two for a nickle. These pencils rapidly take on different characteristics as they are used. In mak- ing out his receipts the truck driver uses a short, stubby, dirty one much like the driver himself, and covered with dents and chewed places. Who uses these pencils when they are new is more than I can tell, because I never saw a driver with a new one. For contrast let us look at the long, neat, well-sharpened pencil of the steno- grapher. This is the pencil of speed and efficiency, I can easily imagine that a stenographer with a truck-driver pencil, dirty, chewed, and stubby, would have some of its characteristics and would not long be employed by a respectable firm. The grocery store keeper's pencil has a long, soft point and can be rapidly used to make large numbers, but it is less refined than the stenographer's pencil. I must include colored pencils for their significance. We have all felt the thrill of getting back a test paper corrected and marked with a red or blue pencil. I always felt sort of disappointed if the paper isn't marked that way. Colored pencils seem natural for checking. Each day I mark off the date on the calendar with a red pencil and it has become such a habit that I can- not go to sleep without having done it. In fact I frequently get up just to do it. These colored pencils that have a paper covering which must be torn off to sharp- en them, are the most spiteful things there are. We tear oi a little, and then the curl breaks, and we spend several min- utes starting it again, only to have the new point fall off when we have unwound another strip. The pencils used in school all look the same to begin with, but soon take on a different appearance, for in school there are all types of people in the making. They may chew their pencils to pieces and soon throw them away. They may keep them clean and sharp and use the same ones for a month. The former are the nervous type, and the latter the type that are good in English or bookkeeping. Beautiful dark- green pencils, these are, with soft leads that tempt the pupil to write-in his books. A tempting thing about wooden pencils is the delicious flavor of the cedar which is commonly used in their construction. I cannot say much for the flavor of the lead, but being an enthusiastic epicurean, I can find even deliciously flavored wrapping paper. Because these pencils are so irres- istible to me I have to use a silver-plated one, since I used to get splinters in my tongue. I am now afraid that the effort to chew this metal pencil will finally result in ruining my teeth. My pet pencil was won as a prize, and I have used it through most of my high school life. It has lost its clip in my ser- vice and shows a hole through to the lin- ing. It is battered and bent, and the silver plating has Worn away where my fingers have clutched it, but with all these faults it will continue to serve me for several years. Mechanical pencils are faithful things, but they do not receive the imprint of character so easily. Pencils are difficult things to find when they are needed around the house. A doz- en pencils can be brought home, and not one will be found when it is needed. This disappearance seems queer to me, and I hardly feel as if I should blame the wash woman for it. In the near future I intend to take a week off and solve this mystery. With the resources of science at my hand I should be able to solve this to the satis- faction of everyone concerned, including the wash woman. This may be a great blessing to humanity. The savages who first wrote on a cave wall didn't realize the great industry of pencil making that they started. This in- dustry has advanced to a place where nothing, not even the new inventions, can stop it. What can displace them? Type- writers can't do scrap paper work, nor can a printing press be used to jot down fleet- ing ideas. For these and other reasons the pencil will continue to hold its important place. The above statements make merely an insignificant dent into an intensely signi- ficant subject about which great volumes could be written. If this subject interests you, and you think of many additions to make to it, then I can welcome you as a student of my new psychological science of telling character by pencils-PENCIL OLOGY.

There's the loud and constant tapping of the keys, of the keys, The twanging and the clanging Of the noisy telephone, While the autos in the street Keep a steady honking beat, And the shuffling of the feet On the wooden office floor Makes me often think and wonder How the work is really done, With this awful noise and hum Of that very frightful one,- the station. THE DEMON OF THE DIN. C, B,, '29, Irma Gaulke, Waiting DOROTHY BROWN '29 This essay received honorable mention in the annual competition sponsored by the Wo1nen's Reading Clnb. One should not be kept waiting! The latest edition of What's What says so! The problem is not to make people live up to what's what Cthat is impossibleh but how to make use of the time heretofore spent in waiting. How many hours, yes days, have you waited while one of those skyhanging colors charts made up its mind to change from that ire-inspiring red to that calm, cool, collected, go-ahead green? We all have spent many uncomfortable hours be- hind the wheel looking first at that stub- born light-then left and right to an empty road-then back to the light and verily we wish the creators of such de- vices anything but the comforts of home. But should we look at the delay in this way? Of course not! Chesterton says, An inconvenience is an adventure wrong- ly considered . The signal light, to all outward appearances, is an inconven- ience, but did you ever try to make it into an adventure? Concentrate. How long has it been since you wound that clock on the dash board? Perhaps by stopping you may arrive at some dangerous corner thirty seconds later and thereby avoid a collision with that huge Mack truck which has just rounded the cornor. Waiting has its rewards! What a golden opportunity it repre- sents to authors. Characters constantly filing by them talking, displaying their unrestricted emotions, offering them to the writer unconditionally if he will only observe them. His waiting represents a mine of raw material. We are not all artists utilizing our wait- ing. Indeed not! We fuss and fume and waste perfectly good time trying to fool ourselves into the belief that we do not mind waiting. What hypocrites we are! I recall to mind one particular instance. He said he'd be there by eight forty-five. Nine o'clock and I was ready and then the house saw action! 'Anxious' does not ex- press that feeling which rushed up and down inside me. I sat in a darkened win- dow watching, watching! Let him see me watching and waiting? Well I guess not! I decided that a watched pot never boils Knot that I am superstitious, but every little bit helps when you are in the mental condition I was inj and I guess the pow- der had worn off my nose. Well anyhow I went and powdered it again. Still HE did not come! Then I played with the radio, that tantilizing device which, just when you need cheering, plays Why Did You Keep Me Waiting? Thank goodness it is easily turned oi. The piano was the next in line for punishment. My nose by this time had been powdered ten times and the hair combed at least twice. Fin- ally the bell! Awfully sorry to have kept you wait- ing, but- . Oh, that's all right, and I smiled sweetly. CWhat hypocrites we arelj But the question to be settled is what could I have done with that time? Much. Now if you could have seen my room-eX- planation enough as to where I could have spent my 'waiting moments' to good ad- vantage. While I was unsuccessfully twisting dials I could have logged some stations, or some practice on the ivories would not have angered family or teacher. But no, I wasted just a little more of this precious life,-precious not because it is mine, but precious because all life is given to us to make the most of,-getting all het up over something which mattered very little in the big scheme of affairs. Have you ever waited for a letter? I pity you. That constant watching the mailman. What a feeling! Pouncing up- on the mailbox on your return home as if it were some enemy-all for a letter. One does not waste much time waiting for a letter, but it is that awful suspense dur- ing which one tells oneself that the letter must have been lost or perhaps it has be- come stuck in the mailbox-oh, not that! The idea that the letter has not been writ- ten yet never enters our imagination. How could it? That would be too reasonable a thing for a 'waiting person' to think out. It just isn't done. I think the easiest way to insure your- self of a one-way ticket to an insane asylum is to watch the clock while wait- ing. To watch that hand, which moves with the speed of a snail trying with all its might to keep within the one mile, an hour speed law, is enough to set anyone to throwing all the furnishings of the room about, to say nothing of dismembering the clock. If you would keep your senses, never watch the clock while waiting. It not only prolongs the time, but complete- ly unnerves you. Beware! Now waiting in the dentist's oflice may be most enjoyable. Much more so in fact than the time spent in the presence of that gentleman. Not that he isn't charm- ing--but his trade! In a dentist's office there is always an enticing pile of books, and one can have a grand time. Probably your pocketbook was sort of lean the past month and you had not purchased Life, but you do like to read it. You grabs the book before that woman across the room who has been eyeing it gets a chance at it. Then you read with one eye on the page and the other on the door hoping and pray- ing that the patient now within that room of torture has a very, very bad tooth and that you will at least be able to finish the pictures before your turn comes. This is pleasant waiting. And it can be profitable waiting if you pick up the right book to read. Another type of profitable waiting is spent in reading advertisements --not only for their personal appeal, but from the standpoint of the artistfs tech- nique. If you are interested at all in char- acter study, imitate the artists and study all those people who are around you. This indeed is time well spent. But waiting is waiting, and only in a few rare instances can it be pleasantg therefore do not wait. Do something in the time you ought to be waiting. More- over, as a member of society, interested in all well being of your fellowmen, DO NOT KEEP PEOPLE WAITING. You know well the hardships endured while 'waiting'g so let us here emply that golden rule so old and yet so applicable to every- one and everything, Do unto others as you would be done by . This Business of Gift-Giving Robert Powell '29 I always experience a dread upon open- ing my mail about two days before Christ- mas. I fearfully tear open the different sized envelopes, alarmed lest I should re- cognize the card of some forgotten friend. This morning for example, I received two of these terrible missives: one from Bill out in California, and one from Salvadore, down in Porto Rico. Confound them! Why couldn't they send their cards sooner, so I could mail mine to reach them before Noel? It was uncertain whether my senti- ment, mailed that minute, would reach Bill out there in Paradise, as the popular song has it, and decidedly improbable that it should reach Sal living a neighbor to the Pearl of the Antilles , so I put them down for nicely engraved New Year's cards. There's no greater enemy to the soul's tranquillity than this sort of friend, unless it is the pest who sends you an equally seasonal gift. Terrible indeed are the qualms this fellow sets up! If I had a mortal enemy whom I wished to injure deeply, I would set about doing it by send- ing him a beautiful gift which should ar- rive too late to invoke a similar contribu- tion from him! I have never evinced the true Christ- mas ecstacy since one of my playmates years ago exploded the pleasant myth of Santa Claus. There is always a hollowness in the day, a niche which cannot be filled by anyone but the jolly old saint himself. It seems as though the day has become one of glory merely for the large manufactur- ers who continually urge us to go into an orgy of spending like a drunken sailor in order to satisfy that Christmas spirit , an evil which I shall touch upon shortly. Only one who has loved Saint Nick can ex- plain that wonderful rapture with which you greeted the dawn, when shivering with anticipation and the morning's keen- ness you looked for that bulging stocking. What inutile expressions of fellowship we annually receive! Rainbow-hued ties, pink and purple pajamas, dainty handker- chiefs which should be renamed thumb- nailkerchiefsn, for they can't stand even one healthy blow-and so on down the line. And yet, whatever our reactions, we usually feel gratitude to the person who expended even that much thought on us. Yes, but suppose those intimate relatives thought enough about us to believe we couldn't really appreciate the humming- bird handkerchiefs and sent a check in- stead! May Saint Peter swing back the pearly gates with a snap as such givers triumphantly enter the Isles of the Bless- ed! Meanwhile, whatever the motive act- uating the sending of the check, we shall continue to extract from it the last full measure of enjoyment. Our family got around this little difficulty of useless gifts beautifully some years ago, and ever since that eventful day one of these remem- brances apiece has enlivened the day. That memorable Christmas Dad gave Mother, among other things, a box of cigars, and she gave him three stamped linens to em- broidery I gave Dad fifty shiny marbles fa number which grew apace whenI crossed immies with another lad-grew silently and secretly, for Dad used to frown on playing marbles for' keeps - gambling he called itb. A most delightful way of exchanging gifts! This year I'm considering giving Mother as one of her presents, a dandy second-hand Winches- ter 12 gauge with a box of smokeless shells, and I have inside information that she's going to bestow upon me a gor- geousnpair of alligator-skin pumps. In these days of wide advertising and cut-throat competition, those who have something to sell greet the Holy Day with unholy glee, for to them it is day set apart by custom for wholesale giving. Exten- sive campaigns through the newspapers and magazines are begun days before the twenty-fifth, to acquaint the public with their wares so that they themselves may proiit by the widespread deluge of good- will. Thus it is we hear of nothing but giving, giving, and receiving. The true sig- nificance of the day is entirely lost sight of. The joy of mankind upon the news of the Savior's earthly visitation which former- ly found expression in the happy but quiet exchange of remembrances among close friends, the festivity at the table, the swelling choruses of voices, old and young, -all have diminished. Today the sordid note of commericialism has entered into our harmony. Where once the carefree reveller voiced his joy, the vendor now shouts his Wares. We sigh for the return of the old days-alas-we fear, in vain. COLOR-SPRING Above Azure blue and white Centered with gold, Pillaring this, A thousand greens Standing upright like sentinels boldg Down at the feet- Great black boots. Sheltered beneath the Green and the blues- Flowers mingling a million hues:- Richness of gold, Fire of red, Purple's maj estically upturned head,- Nestled or standing On softest brown And soul-thrilling green. Color-and Spring! -Dorothy Brown, '29, WHY GOD SENT THE RAIN As I sit at my window pane, And wonder why God sent the rain, I see the green shimmering spring grass Smile up at me, And the tall leafy trees Seem to dance under the pelting of the rain. And then, A bird happily homeward flies, And a squirrel, With a nut the size of its head In its mouth, Busily leaps to its home in the trees. Then, as my eyes turn toward the flower bed, I see the tulips, the pansies, and the roses red, Bowing and courtesying each other in turn,- Then I know why God sent the rain. -Bill Bosehen, 'za THE RECITATION Once upon a day so dreary, while I pondered, dull and weary, Over the outlandish -questions asked of me,- While I puzzled, nearly sinking, suddenly there came a chinking As of something gently clinking, clinking in my ivory dome, 'Tis a thought, I muttered, uclinking in my ivory dome. Pity me! I Nobody home! ! And that horrible clinking of the thought within my thinking Filled me-Hlled me with scholastic terrors never felt before, So that now, to still the shaking of my knees, I stood debating, 'Tis a thought awaiting entrance at my ivory door. Is it this and nothing more? Presently my knees grew stronger, hesi- tating then no longer, Teacher, said I, or Madam, truly your impatience I deplore, But the fact is I was basking, and so quickly you came tasking, And so often you came asking, asking me for things that bore, That I scarce am sure I heard you -here my knees trembled some more,- Anger there and then much more! And the zero, never flitting still is sitting, still is sitting In the little green book of that cruel one, And its shape has all the meaning of a demon that is scheming To send a P home to create uproar,- For a one before that zero that sits in that book of gore Shall be placed-ah, nevermore! ' -Dorothy Brown, '29. THE DEMON OF DIN We were two days out with five to go, And not one of us there could know That the fiendish, leering, Demon of Din Would bring havoc where peace had been. Whooo! whooo! whooo! whooo! The deep full blasts of the whistle there, The sharp, shrill, clanging of the fire bell blare,- And hell was loose in the midship hole, Down where the black gang shovel coal. Machinery clanked, andlpistons pounded, Ports were smashed, and leaks were sounded. , ' A grinding crash,-a bulkhead goes! The gauges hissed, the water rose. A reverberating roar, as the boilers blew, Stark mad men went racing through, Wailing, screaming, cursing, groaning, Chattering, shrieking, moaning. From the bowels of the ship came a rumbling sound As water slopped and gurgled round, While over all the Demon of Din Leered at the havoc where peace had been! -G. J. Hume, '29. SPRING FEVER I'm sick of four walls And a ceiling- Let me out in the open To see the blue sky And watch the clouds roll-by. Out in the open, where The sun is warming, And the flowers are charming, Where happy trees Sway in the breeze, Where the grass is green, And the air- is clean- Out in the open, I am sick of four walls and a ceiling! -Ruth Psaty, '29. TIGHT-ROPE WALKERS . Tight-rope walkers swaying on a silver strand, ' Tilting there on airy toes-a single wand Thrust out to thwart eternity below. What danger dares a tiny balanced toe! And wary Death stalks 'neath that out- flung hand. With double courage-for they can de- mand No succor from the grim, relentless hand Of gravitation from the earth below- They dance their way, forever onward go, Still lightly swaying on their silver strand: Tight-rope walkers. -Frances Niederer '30 PLEA O Gorgeous One, Thy nose is tilted Up a ten per cent grade, Wilt thou lower it Just for me? Thanks. -Robert Powell, '29. ANGER My anger rises like a soldier who hears the call to arms. ' It plunges forward, grim, with deadly intent to hurt, to numb, to kill, and leaves me weak and tired. -Marion Springer, '29. PEACH TREES Pink peach trees are blooming down the lane. On either side are blossoms whirling Like cherry-tinted popcorn Scattered in the wind. -Frances Niederer '30 WHO CARES? If the sun shines hot And the grass is dry, If the leaves are parched And the willows sigh, If the dusty road Makes you cough and choke, If the corn-stalks shrink And the tree-toads croak- Who cares? If the rain pours down In a steady sheet, If the ground is mussy Under small bare feet, If a body sits On a rotting log- Just sits and loafs With a curly dog- Who cares? If the wind blows wild And it's more than cool, If it's just like ice In the swimmin' pool.- If a spaniel barks, If a fellow sings, And the whole green woods With the echo rings- Who cares? -Betsy Bush, '29 WOODSTOCK In the little village of Woodstock Nestled among the hills, I can see the bungalows, With their brightly colored roofs Veiled by the trees. As along the brook I walk, I see artists with their easels, Painting all the pretty sights. When at night I go out, A flashlight I must take To guide me through its peaceful night. -Ruth Psaty, '29. EDITORIALS As this school year draws to a close, the class of '29 graduates leaving many evi- dences of its participation in school af- fairs. For some there are trophies won in athletics 5 for some, line records in leadership, and for some, those simple incidents which will, perhaps, recall even happier memories than material tokens. But the class as a whole leaves its record in the Rutherfordian and hopes that it will meet the satisfaction of all. The editor here wishes deepest gratitude to Miss whom there could be no She Wishes also to thank the Kim Press and Mr. to express her Owen, without Ruthefrfordian. Mr. Yokum of Heubner, the photographer, for their friendly and help- ful advice and services, and those mem- bers of the faculty who have helped in selecting the staff. Many thanks also are due Ruth Koester and Alfred Andriola for their ever-ready assistance, and Emma Smith and Elsie Riccio for their unexhaustable store of suggestions and enthusiastic work. To commend every faithful staff mem- ber Would be a mighty big undertaking, but the editor wishes each to know that she is grateful for the sincere cooperation shown. Due to her unwillingness to have her photograph in the Rutherfordian, Helen Pedretti's picture does not appear with the Senior group. However, we can't help saying a word or two about Helen, who has always been a friend in need: HELEN PEDRETTI Helen Personality plus pep. In other words Helen has a great deal of what We call It, She's a regular fellow with a laugh and a smile that was made to conquer all blues. Rutherfordikm Staff C23 5 Blue and White Stai C3, 415 E.

They were: Dorothy Axford, Janet Baillie, Louis Fink, William Taggart, Anna May Lewis, Harold Shaterian, and Dorothy Port-Seniors, Alfred Smith and Dorothy Werner-Juniors. On May 7, 1929, the following were chosen: Alfred Andriola, Harriet Bush, Ruth Clough, Elizabeth Dechant, Dorothy Brown, Anita Fuligni, Alfred Smith, Her- bert Leighton, and Dorothy Werner- Seniorsg Anna Chiaviello, and Frederick Shaterian-Juniors. The National Honor Society was estab- lished to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote Worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the students. Membership is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. To be eligible for membership, candidates must obtain an average of at least 80 per cent in marks and must be active in extra cur- ricular Work. The members are chosen by a council consisting of the principal and a number of teachers, selected by the prin- cipal, a unanimous vote being required. Each member Wears the key, similar to the Phi Beta Kappa Key, that has been adopted by the National Honor Society as its emblem. - I6 ' ,n -CLUIJ '- 1 If Q' EL' 35 M' 3 e Mk ,gaiqmg S1945 'SFX -bi cemeter for ye , I it VNV v -Fog-t ba ll eroes 0 ye K ' , A IP?

Therefore, only the more important Will be touched upon. On November 13, Mr. MacFarland pre- sented some selections, classical and jazz, on the banjo. On the following Tuesday, several commercial students, under the supervision of Miss Snyder, gave talks on Vocations . On November 28 Dr. Ross came to the school on his regular, but not too frequent visits, to speak to us on Thanksgiving, and, incidentally, on foot- ball. Miss Surber had charge of the Lin- coln Day program, at which time an inci- dent in the life of the President, was read by William Oliver and Alfred Andriola. In commemoration of Washington's Birth- day, Doctor Popham of the local Episco- palian Church spoke on the noted states- man and soldier. Alfred Andriola, as President of the Franklin Forum, present- ed the speaker. On March 26 Mr. Greenwood Adams spoke to the student body on Australia. His talk was illustrated with moving pic- tures. Mrs. Chanlis again spoke to the student body this year, when, on April 9, she told them of the life of Corot. A week later Jack Wilson, President of the Hi-Y, presented Mr. Tamblyn who spoke about the Y. M. C. A. Work done in Egypt. On the 23d of April the Latin Classes presented the tragedy Echo and Narcis- sus , written by Betsy Bush, with Alicia Seeger and Lola Dull in the leading roles. Miss Deihl acted as supervisor and Miss Park coached the dancing. 'At the same time the winners of the Woman's Read- ing Club Art Contest, Alfred Andriola and John Manning, were awarded their gold pieces. The following week Mrs. Webster and Miss Humrich intermingled Spanish and English very cleverly in askit on the ex- position being held in Seville. Ruth Har- 61 rington and Lee Ellis played the parts of Americans touring Spain, and Alfred Smith was master of ceremonies. One of the bright spots of the year came on May 14, when Ruth Harrington and Edna Huber, the latter dressed as a young man, presented a very amusing skit en- titled Etiquette . The programs have been varied, enjoy- able, and broadening. At the Memorial Day program, May 80, the music clubs rendered several selec- tions. At the same assembly, Mrs. Sum- mers, representative of the Woman's Reading Club, awarded five dollar prizes to Eleanor Worfolk for her story Sur- prizing Eliza, and to Howard Platts for his essay, Penci1s . FIELD DAY One of the most enjoyable field days in the history of R. H. S., was held on June 4, 1929, on the Rutherford field. Such keen rivalry was observed between the Junior and Sophomore classes that they, together, carried off all but seven points. Besides the heat of rivalry, the sun's warmth was felt so strongly that under the trees were seen groups of teachers and pupils, evading the sun's rays. The most exciting event of the day was the girls' three-legged race. Here were seen hitched together the two Annas CHuber and Dischj and the two Ruths fClough and Rossl who took the first and second prizes in the order mentioned. The sophomores did not place- in the finals of this race. The Sophomore boys won 17 points to the Juniors 9. The Seniors won one point. The following are the placements in the events: I Girls 75-Yard Dash-First E. Morrell, sec- ond, A. Huber. High Jump-First, E. Morrell, four feet four inches, second, Anna Disch, four feet two inches. Broad J ump-First, A. Huber, second, C. Allessondroni. Relay-First, S o p h o m o r e sg second, Juniors. Basketball Throw-First, V.. Wayerg second, R. Badaracco. Three-legged Race-First, J uniorsg sec- ond, Seniors. - Boys 50-Yard Dash--First, G. Miller, second, P. Rude. 100-Yard Dash-First. G. Miller, sec- ond, P. Rude. Relay-First, Sophsg second, Juniors. General Urganrzation Due to the fact that the governing body of the General Organization is the Exec- utive Council, the recordof both appears under the Executive Council picture. The officers of the G. O. as they appear above are: Herbert Leighton, President, Mar- garet Wharton, Secretaryg and Mr. Keef, advisor. Spencer Ravel, Vice-president, is absent. Hiking Club The Hiking Club was finally reorgan- ized this spring after a ,long period of inactivity. A new constitution had been provided last fall, but, due to delays in getting it accepted by the Executive Coun- cil, it was not until recently that the club started actual work, under the supervision of Miss Park. Its oiiicers are: Frances Niederer, president, Helen Shryock, vice- president, and Edna Huber, secretary- treasurer. The hike to Teterboro proved to be the most interesting of all. Only a few old members took the trip, but these initiated the novices into the mysteries of the game, teaching them to cut across No Trespass- ing fields and to jump railroad tracks. At the flying field everyone had a fine time examining airplances to her heart's con- tent, and many were the exclamations over the reed furniture and blue velvet linings. On the return trip, despite a few missing heels and tired feet, everyone de- clared that she had a swell time . Judging from the number of members so far, the club is due to become the larg- est hiking club ever formed, and there will doubtless be more insignias than usual to give out in the near future. 63 - SERVICE LEAGUE First row--A. Anclriola, G. Ferry, W. Galloway. Seeond row--B. Dechant, M. Wharton, D. Cave, V. Thomas H. Otis, O. Brown, A. Savage. Third row-R. Ross, R. Clough, D. Werner, T. Vnltee, J. Manning, A. Baillie, Jlr. Gottshall. Fourth row-A. Smith, R. McLeod, W. Bailey, W. Logan, H. Leighton, E. Berry. The Service League Headed by Jack Wilson, president, Al- fred Smith, vice-presidentg Margaret Wharton, secretaryg and Dorothy Werner, historian, the Service league continued its good work during 1929. In addition to its regular duties, instill- ing the spirit of service in the student body and maintaining order and decorum in the High School, the Service League. put over a highly amusing and profitable Circus Herbert Leighton was chair- man of the committee, as Well as ring- master. Out of the proceeds of the per- formance books, magazines, and magazine covers were bought for the school library. The League has rendered the school the services of managing the library, and mak- ing the marching to and from assembly more orderly. In order to give better service, a committee, drew up in black and white the duties and principles for which the Service League stands. The organization owes a great many thanks tothe faculty advisor, Mr. Gott- shall, and to Mr. Moore for their fine co- operation in helping to make the year's Work a success. We hope that the Serv- ice League will have many more profitable and active years. , EXECUTIVE COUNCIL First row--A. Smith, R. Clough, M. Wharton, II. Leighton, president, S. Ravel, D. Weriier, W. Logan. Secomt row-IV. Little, .l'. Fawrlzam, A. Savage, C. Baillie. Third row--Mr. Keef, Mr. Moore, Miss Park, IV. Payne. Executive Council The yacht, Executive Council , started its official cruise on September 15, 1928, with its crew of eighteen. Just outside of the harbor the cruiser ran head on into a heavy storm, a violent discussion,- Should the football men receive gold foot- balls as well as watches ? After a few days of struggling mightily with the ele- ments, clear weather prevailed. Sailing was not always stormy, how- ever. At one time, fair weather prevailing, the passengers were entertained by a play guys: .K , entitled A Kiss for Cinderella. A dance was also held in the ballroom of the cruis- er on one momentous night. At another time, the yacht hove to, and its crew cooperated with the crew of the gallant ship, Board of Education . Clever piloting carried us safely through all rough seas and dangerous shoals, and, on the whole, the journey under the guiding hand of Mr. Keef has been, we hope, advantageous to our Alma Mater. Athletic Association Although the A. A. elections were held rather late this year, a great deal Was accomplished by this body in promoting further interest in athletics. Under the capable leadership of Presi- dent Antolini, Vice-President Peal, and Secretary Buckalew, this organization held several student meetings in the audi- torium vvhere various matters and ques- tions pertaining to athletics were discus- sed. We hope that each successive A. A. will strive to better the record of their pred- ecessors and really make this organiza- tion an active and Worth-While represent- ative of the Rutherford High School stu- dent body. RAANKLIN OIQJUM ' W it The following conversation was held the other day with an out-of-town friend. Have you a debating society in your high school? Why, surely, the Franklin Forum. What is the purpose of this Forum and what do you do ? The purpose is to develop speakers and debators. We have an afternoon business an evening social meeting At either, speeches by pro- meeting and every month. bationers are heard. At the social meet- ings we have open discussions or regular instance, a few weeks ago debates. For we had a mock-debate on the subject, 'Resolved: that there should be bigger and better holes in doughnuts? It was highly humorous, the negative side winning amid much laughter. T How large is your club ? Well, frankly, at the beginning of the season in September the club was rather small and inactive and in danger of going on the rocks. However, it has increased rapidly and is becoming more important in our school life. The members are nearly all active and interested, and the meetings are interesting. On Washington's Birth- day we presented a program with the Rev- erend Mr. Popham as speaker. We are now planning a picnic for the near future. Alfred Andriola is president, Colbert Thomas and Bill Bennett vice-presidents for the first and second terms respectively, and Sarah Price secretary. The faculty advisors are Miss Ely and Mr. Kunze, who help the club with their advice and direc- tion. E. T. D. Editor, RUTHERFORDIAN, R. H. S. Rutherford, New Jersey Dear Editor: i In reply to your request we have com- plied in brief form the outstanding events of the year, as recorded in our records. At the annual election of officers, Dot Brown was chosen president with Dick McLeod and Betty Dechant filling the re- maining posts. Herbert Leighton in the Poor Nut scored a big success for the society. The Christmas program by the E. T. D. proved very enjoyable with the presentation of letters and fine speakers. An interesting, if erroneous, parliamentary law meeting was held by the dramatic society in assembly. Annual reports show our finances to be in good condition, and the membership list reads like a Who's Who in school. I trust you will be able to use this information. Your truly, THE REPORTER Blue and White At the beginning of the year, a meeting of the staff was held to form the plans of the year. Everyone decided that he would make a special effort to make the Blue and White more interesting and full of pep. And so we have worked with this aim in view and have succeeded to some de- gree. Especially is this true in regard to the work of the personal and school notes editors. Complying with a suggestion of one of the student-body, we have discon- tinued Writing up the assemblies and have made an effort to find news of interest. We are indebted to the Blue and White for one of the most novel and suc- cessful events of the year. This consisted of the showing of the moving picture, The High School Hero , after which everyone went to the gym to enjoy dancing to the music of the Varsity Five . This excellent idea was put across mainly through the efforts of our business man- ager, Allan Baillie. Then the special football edition, pub- lished for the Passaic-Rutherford foot- l es AQ ball game, was an achievement in itself. It proved a very interesting issue and helped greatly to put the Blue and White on its feet financially. Perhaps you do not realize all the work that attends the publishing 'of each issue. Many catastrophies would have occurred except for the careful attention of the members of the staff. For example, except for the timely intervention of Alfred An- driola, one of .our associate editors, the Christmas issue would have appeared with four front pages. Occasionally, some slip- up did occur, such as in one edition where the head lines on the sport page announced the victories of Rutherford in bold type, while right underneath, the scores showed Rutherford to be at the tail end. Also, the printer has insisted upon putting lay for lie in spite of our repeated attempts to correct him. With Betty Dechant, editor-in-chief, and Alfred Andriola and Winifred Bland, associate editors, the Blue and White for the 1928-29 has been a great success. Er1tr'Amis Voici le mois de Septembre et tous les membres du Cercle Francais abordent le train appele Entr'Amis qui nous em- menera au sommet d'une inclinaison tres difiicile a monter. Son sommet s'appelle Succes. Bienque nous ayons de grand difficulte a y arriver, nous acheverons ce fait tout de meme. Comme le voyage est tres long et dur, pour le faire interessant, il faut faire des choses pour nous amuser. Quelquesfois le train s'arrete un peu aux places d'interet. On fait cela deux fois par mois, tous les deux mardis. Alors nous allons nous amuser et chaque fois nous ne manquons pas de faire cela. Quand le jour de Noel s'approchait nous avons quitte le train a Rutherford High School et la nous avons vu un beau pro- gramme de Noel. Il y avait une comedie amusante, une danse, des chansons, et des poemes, et puis beaucoup de rafraichisse- ments. Quand les Paques s'approchaient nous avons fait la meme chose, quitter le train et aller voir un autre programme charmant compose d'une danse, de la comedie, La Surprise d'Isidore, etc. On s'est amuse bien ce soir-la. Toujours sur ce voyage on a eu beaucoup de refraichisse- ments. Trois autres haltes et nous voici, enfin, au mois de juin 1929, sur le sommet ap- pele Succes. Ce voyage a ete tres signifi- catif parce qu'au meme temps que nous nous amusions, nous avons appris a parler francais beaucoup mieux, car il fallait parler seulement francais dans le train, Entr'Amis. Avec Mlle. Butler, conseillere, 'Mlle. Fuligne, presidente, Mlle. Storms, vice- president, Mlle. Bush, secretaire, et Mlle. Lepanto et. M. Antolini, chefs des pro- grammes, avec eux a conduire, le voyage a ete sain et sauf. he El Circulo Espanol Durante el aio pasado el Circulo Espa- iol adelanto mucho. Las personas que se eligieron ayudaron mucho en el trabajo del Circulo. Fueron la seiorita Black- ledge, presidenteg la seiorita Clough, vice- presidenteg la seiiorita Chiaviello, secre- tariag el seior Shaterian, corristag y la seiorita Ross, censora. Las reuniones que tuvieron eran muy interesantes y ayuda- ron mucho a los alumnos que aprenden el espaiol. Muchos alumnos asistieron a las reuniones. Los programas del Circulo Espaiol eran muy interesantes y consistieron en Varias cosas, dramas, poesias, bailes, diologos, canciones, y discuisos en espaiol. Uno do los dramas era dos escenas de Jose una novela escrita por Valdes, y que los alum- nos de Espaiiol 3A y B escribieron y pre- sentaron. El drama mostro las costumbres y los usos espaioles y la vida de la gente de Espaia. Para hacer que se hable espaiol en el Circulo Espaiiol todos los que se oyen hablar ingles tienen que cantar o hablar en espaiol. Este semestre los siguientes fueron eligidos a oficios, La seiorita Clough, presidenteg la seiorita Chiaviello, vice- presidenteg el seior McNulty, secretariog el seior Shaterian, corristag y la seiorita Ross, censora. Estos han continuado aprovechandose de la ocasion para hacer todo lo que pudieron para hacer los pro- gramas de valor para las reuniones. El Circulo Espaflol tambien presenta programas para la escuela en el Assembly, bailes, dramas, y conciones espaiolas. El Circulo sin duda debe mucho a la se- iora Webester y la seiorita Humrich para todo lo que han hecho y estamos seguros de que no podria adelantar sin sus esfuer- zos tan fracturosos. 71 C. C. C. The mwis of the Latin Club left port last fall bound for Italy. The passenger list was made up entirely of students who had completed three and a half years of Latin. Miss Diehl acted as chaperon and general instructor on the voyage. The main purpose of the trip was to visit some of the places about which We had studied in our Latin classes, and to increase still more our interest in the Roman customs. The officers were the following: Captain ...................... Dorthy Werner First Mate ...... ....... D orothy Phelan Second Mate ................ Betty Dechant Alfred Andriola, who was in charge of the entertainment on board the ship, plan- ned and presented some very enjoyable programs. A pantomine, Oenone, a clever dramatization of Pyramus and Thisbe, and some vocal and piano selec- tions were oiered by some of the passen- gers. After a pleasant voyage We arrived at our destination. The first and most inter- esting city that We visited was Rome, the center of the great Roman Empire. On the first day Anita Fuligni and Betsy Bush guided us through the ruins of the Colos- seum, one of the grandest and largest theatres of antiquity. That evening Betty Dechant explained to us all about the Ro- man Saturnalia, a Roman festival, many of Whose customs survive at our Christ- mas season. We spent a number of Weeks in Rome visiting many famous old ruins. On our return to R. H. S. We presented a program in assembly, dramatizing the myth, Echo and Narcissus. We Wish next year's society a very hap- py and successful voyage. Alpha Gamma Alpha Gamma, one of our newly organ- ized societies, has been progressing splen- didly. Perhaps it is because we have such officers as Alonzo Teeple, president, John Manning, vice-president, and Alfred An- driola, secretary and treasurer. We know it is partly due to Mrs. Titman. Our meetings have been a great success. We have made lamp-shades, brilliant, dashing shades and those of softer hues, with colors blending and melting into one another-some of them very attractive in- deed. We were also at one time absorbed in the making of pottery. This process, other than being of an instructive nature, was very interesting, although there were times when we relinquished all hope of ever becoming successful potters. Such seemingly unimportant things as tiny crack or a rough exterior discouraged us, but we persevered, and some of us still have our pottery as proof. And we had soap-carving! You who have never seen an object shape itself from a piece of lovely, white soap in your fing- ers, cannot know what fun it is. To see the smooth flakes fall from your knife as your object grows to recognition, or to watch the tiny chips fly as you viciously jab away at an unyielding corner-is a joy. But, oh the heartbreak at seeing your finished product crumble and fall! Our refreshment committee, appointed monthly, does a good bit toward making our meetings inviting, for the eats help create an atmosphere of coziness and friendliness. 73 N Senior Hi -Y The Senior Hi-Y Club of R. H. S. main- tained during the past season the high standard of activities which has char- acterized this association since its reor- ganization six years ago. Nine major events comprised the fiscal calendar, aside from the regular Weekly meetings. The more important of these were the sponsoring of the Bergen County Hi-Y Conference at Ridgefield Park and the Ninth'Annual Father and Son Ban- quet held at the Methodist church. For the first time in the history of the club, the members enjoyed the assistance and support of a local Y. M. C. A. secre- tary, Mr. Gerald Tamblyn, who as a guest of the club addressed the high school as- sembly. The club also sent delegates to the State Hi-Y Conference at Elizabeth. The high spot of the .social activities was the mid-Winter dance, held at the Wo- men's Reading Club. The annual Service League Circus again featured the Ruther- ford Hi-Y in a comedy sketch. Other en- tertainments included a day at Rainbow Lake and a joint dance with the Junior Hi-Y club to close the social year. Athletically the Hi-Y club stepped into a championship's role, Winning first place and a silver cup in an elimination basket- ball tournament at Hackensack on Nov- ember 11. The success of the H.-Y club hasbeen in great part, due to the leadership of the following officers: Jack Wilson, presi- dentg William Boschen, vice-presidentg Alfred Buckalew, secretaryg William Lo- gan, treasurerg Mr. D. L. Keef, advisor. i l As this term closes we find that the Jun- ior Hi-Y has had a very successful year in living up to the slogan to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community better standards of Christ- ian character. A basketball team was formed and play- ed many games, climaxing a successful season by entering the finals against the Rutherford Senior Hi-Y at a Hackensack Hi-Y conference. The club also sent delegates to the Y. M. C. A. conference at Elizabeth. At the unior Hi 'Y ninth annual Father and Son Dinner the Junior Hi-Y did a great deal toward mak- ing it a success. The club also held a com- bined Senior and Junior Hi-Y party for the members and their friends. This is the second year of the Junior Hi- Y under the fine leadership of Mr. Gott- shall, advisor of the club. The officers are: president, Vincent Flanagang vice-president, Arthur Bloeteg secretary, Webster Juryg treasurer, Nor- man Davie. w 75 76 Music The music clubs in old R. H. S. are still going strong. The orchestra, which you hear practicing Wednesday, is proud to announce that it again took part in the state contest at New Brunswick, May 4. On April 26, the glee clubs traveled to Teaneck High School and lent their voices in a concert given under the auspices of the Northern New Jersey Interscholastic League. At the Rotary Club Christmas luncheon, the Boys' Glee Club and a few members of the orchestra, entertained. They were Clubs very much enjoyed, and in turn enjoyed a good luncheon. There are still other groups in the music department: the Girls' Triple Trio, the Boys' Double Quartet, and the appreci- ation classes. The girls sang at the Wo- man's Club, March 4. The quartets, assisted by a few mem- bers of the glee clubs, sang at the annual Parent-Teachers' meeting, held this year at Pierrepont School. l Elizabeth Williams, supervisor of mus- ic, has worked hard with the music classes and deserves much credit for their success. Columbia Press Convention In the early part of March, seven rep- resentatives of the RUTHERFORDIAN and the BLUE AND WHITE were for- tunate in being able to attend the fifth an- nual convention of the Columbia Scho- lastic Press Association at Columbia Uni- versity in New York City. Here we were joined by a thousand literary students, from all parts of the United States, who are interested in the advancement of school papers and magazines. On Friday morning at 10:30 the first general session was opened at the McMil- lin Academic Theatre. Mr. Arthur Draper, assistant editor of the New York Herald- Tribune, gave the opening address follow- ing a welcome by Professor Jones, direc- tor of admissions of Columbia. At eleven- fifteen a picture of all the convention dele- gates was taken on the library steps. The second general session opened at one-forty- five, at which time Arthur Guiterman, the poet, gave a number of readings. Follow- ing this, we separated, each one of our group attending the sectional meetings which pertained to the various phases of school papers and magazines. Returning to the McMillin Theatre at four-thirty we saw a motion picture entitled Around the World with the United Press. Leaving Columbia our party continued to the Her- ald-Tribune Building, where guides con- ducted us on a tour through the plant. On Saturday we had to be at the The- atre at nine-fifteen, consequently, we all did some hustling and bustling to get there on time. We first attended sectional meet- ings, given by students whose papers or magazines had won prizes in the conven- tion contest. After luncheon we attended a special performance of the Columbia Varsity Show, Oh Hector. This closed the convention. The Edi- tors and their staffs returned home with new and interesting ideas to try out in their school papers and magazines. Rutherford's representations w e r e: Betsy Bush, Betty Dechant, Dorothy Wer- ner, Ruth Psaty, Allan Baillie, William Bailey, and Alfred Andriola. CHESS CLUB With Charles Bertini, Robert Powell, and John Menzies as officers, we have made huge strides toward the millennium this year. Through our publicity cam- paign, in which we invited many notables to a meeting of the club fwe received per- sonal answers from ex-presidents, ruling princes, governors, and actresses, all too busy to come-so they saidj, we garnered fifty new members, including the Prince of Wales. Apropos, we have several queens in the club, and they're not all on the chess-board either. On December 7, Colonel Northrop, chess master of Hackensack, played practically the entire club simultaneously, and won all games, throwing cigar-butts all over the floor, to the janitor's horror next morning. We have played several schools, and never lost a match, but never won one either, since all were tied. Every noon we meet for an hour in the Chess Club Rooms, otherwise known as the Men Teachers' Room, never having missed a day for the past three years, and there we wage our battle of wits. Once we be- come so absorbed in playing that we for- got to go to our fifth period class. Mr. Moore dropped in about the middle of the period. Now we always listen carefully for the bell! ' The Chess Club can lick the football team at football, because most of the team are club-members. We have laid weekly a barrage of pub- licity through the medium of that splen- did home newspaper, the Rutherford Re- publican. Come on out, we want you. FENCING CLUB The Fencing Club has successfully ter- minated its first year as an organization in the high school, under the able guidance of its officers, Horace Johnson, president, Frank Kitchin, vice-president, and Alonzo Teeple, secretary-treasurer. The aim of the Fencing Club is to pop- ularize the ancient game in the school, and judging from the numbers who have ral- lied around our standard, we have certain- ly attained our objective. Our team has competed with the long- established and master-coached teams of neighboring high schools, and while we have not covered ourselves with glory, yet we have made very creditable showings, lacking as we do proper instruction facil- ities. Under the managership of William Bennett, the interclass matches went for- ward smoothly. On the first day the Sophs won, from the Juniors 7-2, Pettingill Flannigan, and Payne winning for the former. The following day the Seniors snowed these victors under with the same score, Payne doing the only scoring for his class. In the finals, the Seniors nosed out the Juniors 5-4. Nahouse, Rybicki, and Powell judged the contests. After it was all over we had lots of fun picking up lost buttons and patching up in general. Lately, the weaker sex has become interested in the sport, and we shall do well to watch our hearts carefully. Norman Morrell-- Let's think hard now. George Gryson- Naw, let's do some- thing you can do, too. 1 . 79 SENIOR PLAY CAST Q. O. PLAY CAST 80 A KISS FOR CINDERELLA A Kiss for Cinderella, the second Bar- rie play to be given by the Rutherford High School, was presented on March 23, 1929 under the auspices of the General Organization. Putting on a Barrie play is difficult business, but the handicaps were over- come. Miss Brown, as usual, coached the players in their parts. Ruth Clough car- ried the lead admirably, and Theodore Lytle was especially convincing as her po- liceman sweetheart. They made their characters real, living humans, who felt joys and sorrows and dreamed vague dreams. William Little did a good piece of work as Mr. Bodie, the middle-aged English artist, for whom Cinderella worked as a servant. Ruth Ross and Al- fred Buckalew handled two of the most in- teresting parts in the play with excep- tional fineness. They were alloted the roles of a probationer and a soldier and were responsible for most of the humor of the third act. Vivian Thomas in the same scene, did an interesting bit as a maid. Carolyn Brown, as the godmother, found there a character perfectly suited to her voice and poise. Helena Ruuth made Mrs. Maloney a comic, yet pitiable character, and Dorothy Brown put all her earnestness into the part of Mr. Bodie's sister, a doctor, who did not want to for- get that she was a woman. Roberta Brunner and Suzanne De Leeuw did well as the two orphans whom Cinderella had taken to care for during the war. Marguerite Orr, Reni Antolini and William Payne did effective bits as customers in Cinderella's Penny Shop. Allan Baillie and Marie Mead, the king and queen, and George Peal, Frederick Shaterian, and Phebe Harlan, court at- tendants, did well with their comedy parts. TOMMY The Seniors are to be complimented first, on their fine choice of a play. TOMMY, the feature of Class Night, Saturday, May 18, was an excellent come- dy of American life. It was received with general enthusiasm, and in the opinion of many, surpassed any play presented by the school in several years. Nine people did admirable work. When Alfred Buckalew wound up his perform- ance as Tommy with his excellent imita- tion of a man who had had a little some- thing to drink there was nothing that anyone could say, save perhaps, that much used word, splendidl Ruth Ross was perfectly suited to the part of the young girl who did not know whom she wanted to marry. Lola Dull, in the other important feminine part as the girl's mother, handled her semi-comic role extremely well. Allan Baillie, the other suitor, did some of the best acting he has ever done, though he will always be re- membered for Spike Hoyt in The Poor Nut . Paul Chaudron, William Bennett, and Alfred Andriola played the three character parts with all the excellence of their high school experience in dramatics. Sarah Price, as Mrs. Wilson, was very pleasing, and Margaret Wharton, who un- like the talkies , was heard but not seen, gave the audience a laugh each time she answered Mrs. Wilson's frantic call of, Willie! Willie Wilson, why don't you an- swer me? Miss Brown, the capable coach, deserves our thanks and deep gratitude for her wonderful help. E. T. D. PLAY When the curtain rose on The Poor Nut and the first few excited moments of suspense had passed, the audience knew that it was ready for something hilarious- ly funny and genuinely dramatic. Back stage all heaved a sigh of relief-because they knew that their play had clicked. The Epsilon Tau Delta presented a play which they can rightfully be proud of. It moved swiftly and smoothly, its humor was refreshing, and its theme not at all slight. Great praise is due Miss Brown, who coached the play. 'Next to the direction, the acting de- serves praise. Seldom has this reviewer seen a more able cast assembled. One of the greatest surprises that everyone re- ceived was the remarkable performance of Herbert Leighton in the title role. It was Leighton's first appearance in a high school production, and, regretfully, his last. Allan Baillie's splendid performance as the semi-villain was enthusiastically re- ceived by the audience, as proved by the applause he received. Sarah Price did ex- tremely well in her role as the heroine. Helen Pedretti made the other woman a live character, an adventuress with a soul. Paul Chaudron, in the part of the coach, Colbert Thomas, as one of the runners, Fred Shaterian, as the trainer, Alfred An- driola, as the starter, and all those who played students in the grandstand, made liam Bennett, Ben Markwell, and Horace Johnson deserve credit for their perfor- the track scene seem unusually real. Wil- mances. All had important parts in the play. George Hecking did an interesting bit as the book dealer. Alonzo Teeple, Ruth Clough, Marie Mead, Ruth Ross and John Manning also had parts in the last act. CLASS NIGHT With a ruffle of drums and a blare of trumpets, class night of '29 opened. Through the streets of the town marched the classes giving vent to surplus energy. The president of the Senior class led a few representatives of his group, carrying the green and white banner. The members of the Junior class followed their orange and black banner, which was carried by their president. Pursuing them came the Sophomores displaying for the first time their beautiful red and white ensignia. Last of all, came the sub-sophomores full of hopes for on-coming years. Finally, into the assembly hall they all filed, cheer- ing and singing, ready for a good pro- gram. - Alfred Smith, the master of ceremonies, after he had been introduced by Mr. Moore, presented the Politicians , the present office-holders of R. H. S. Then he announced the first act of TOMMY. Between the acts two very clever skits were hilariously received by the audience. The first was an illustrated lecture on school life by Robert Powell assisted by Charles Bertini. Although in the end the poor man was carried to the booby- hatch , he received a good hand. The second was a parody on the Cat Club presented by a group of boys. Their ex- hilarating costumes and speeches caused much merriment and laughter. The re- maining intervals were filled in with the songs of the Junior and Sophomore classes. At the close of the play, the Senior Class, as customary, sang their farewell songs to the respective classes, the fac- ulty, Dinty , and dear old R. H. S. As the last echoes of the final song faded away, this momentous night came to a close, to be written as one of the most suc- cessful Class Nights in the history of R. H. S. ,, P3 All alll I m 1' X22 gl -eq I El O swap g I ,.

It arouseth to wrath, and it classifieth the user thereof as incompetent, inefficient, indifferent, slothful-if not lazy. It weakeneth the will and paralyzeth the fingersg it is as shackles on the feet. It destroyeth the power of accuracy, and putteth the four-wheel brakes on speed. It denoteth a scrambled brain and butter-fingers. It consumeth time without avail. It inviteth harsh criticism. It is as a cinder in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. It is the badge of mediocrity, and pre- venteth joy in achievement. It leaveth its deadly effect on character. Who can ply the eraser assiduously and hold up his head as a faithful toiler. It limiteth the amountof shekels in the pay envelope. It putteth off the day when the teacher calleth you blessed. Verily, it is a snake in the grass. But, lo and behold, it hath one friend to applaud it - the manufacturer of erasers! Londoner- What do you think of that tower for height? New Yorker-- Say, do you call that height?

The vic- tims, writhing in the agony of fear-tor- tured imaginings, gasped white-lipped, hollow-eyed. The exclamation, lVIercy! was framed by their parched lips. The stern jailer gave a signal.

There were so many notables, I scarce knew where to begin. Well- the middle corridor was as good as any, so I took me hence and waited for oppor- tunity to knock. A bell rang and doors on all sides burst forth in an avalanche of on-rushing stu- dents. I hastily climbed to the top of the lockers and viewed the turmoil from my lookout. Ah! there was our noted pro- fessor elbowing his dignified Way through the stampede! One moment, Professor Andriola, I called from my exalted position. Will you hold that pose a second? I'd like to get your picture for my paper. But the tide of pupils completely overwhelmed him, and I sadly pocketed my camera. Another bell pealed out, class doors banged, and all was quiet save for the rhythmical chatter of the typewriters in Miss Jennison's room. As I descended from my post, President Leighton shot down the hall in a frantic endeavor to reach Room 9 before Miss Owen called the roll. Look out below! I shouted- but too late. We all lay jumbled up on the floor. Excuse me, sir, quoth I-trying to discover which legs were his, and which mine- But would you be so kind as to tell me what you intend to do after your term as G. O. president has expired ? Yes! he growled-his hair standing on end and his eyes blazing with rage- I'm organizing a society for the annihila- tion of news reporters. And gnashing his teeth, he tore around the corner toward college prep. English. Nothing yet! My editor would surely be down on my neck! At last I espied Peg Wharton, and mustering my retreat- ing courage I stepped briskly forward. My dear Miss Wharton, I urged, Won't you give me a brief statement as to your intended vocation after leaving these illustrious halls ? Haven't you heard? she giggled. I'm going to take a secretarial course and be Spen's stenographer. He'll establish the Ravel Corporation--eating peanuts by the peck-and I'll take account of his records. And she giggled bashfully away. I was just about desperate, when who should appear but our angel Emy, drag- ging a spading fork behind her. I was overjoyed. Miss Smith! I cried. Miss Smith! You've saved my life ! I'm so sorry, she observed sympa- thetically. Is there anything else I can do for you ? ' Would you-could you-will you-I mean- Get out of my way, imbecile! she fumed. I've an important engagement with Miss Humrich. She and Miss Sny- der have purchased an aligator instead of a new Ford and the fool thing does not choose to run. I'm due in one-half min- ute to tickle the creature's ribs. And she belligerently rattled the pitch fork at me and hastened to keep her appointment. And as I stood there utterly bewildered, a brilliant idea iiashed into my hitherto darkened brain. Precipitating myself upon my editor, I proclaimed with great gusto, Chief, you're the only person worth interviewing. There's not a single celeb- rity as important as you. Just give me a tip and I'll- Fired! roared the thundering re- sponse. Such are the trials of an interviewer. g ., X were . Q4 - f+e'wQe - THLETIC -- ,L ...x . XX 47' L3 if 6 V X ii? f X I I OOGGRE'-.

S State Champions By crushing all opponents on its regular schedule and by tying a post-season game with Bloomfield, another great Rutherford team swept to its third consecutive N. N. J. I. L. and second consecutive tie for state championship. With inches to go for its third touchdown and victory, the referee's whistle blew bringing the play-off game to a close with the score tied. Criticism of Rutherford's supposedly soft schedule proved groundless when its team pushed the ball over three times, scored one with a safety, and held the Passaic team, the best in years, for downs within a few feet of the final marker. This year brought to Rutherford a new coach, Eddie Tryon. The season's re- sulting high scores were largely due to his coaching, and that of his assistant, Mr. Dupes. Captain Chiavello, Rutherford's best defense man, inspired his team mates to new heights of enthusiasm in each suc- ceeding game. Manager Peal's services were invaluable. In Joe Ferraro, Mr. Tryon developed a center whose passing was errorless. Matty Love, captain-elect, was an able running mate 'to Tony Chiavello at guard. Bud Buckalew, tackle, with Jack Wilson, crashed through to break up play after play. A sports writer for the Rutherfordian must, of necessity, be impartial, but one can't keep from prais- ing Johnny Brooks. Certainly his work was an achievement. Faced with the prob- lem, of finding another end, Tryon unex- pectedly discovered George Gryson. The backfield, with Span Ravel directing, was aptly termed Rutherford's four horsemen. Johnny Sitarsky, Blue and White's high-scorer, Rem Antolini, and Nish Baruchian completed the four. Brooks was honored with a place on the first all-state team and also with the Coun- ty award as the most valuable player. Chiavello was listed on the second team, while Sitarsky ranked on the third. Only Sitarsky and Love remain next year, around whom Tryon must build his team. However, Rutherford has never lacked new material and she will not next season. The schedule was as follows: Rutherford Opponent 38 ............ East Rutherford ............ 0 40 ............ Leonia ............................. 0 33 ............

N. J. I. L. As captain and most consistent winner, Bill Boschen set the pace for all in the mile. At Hackensack, a comparatively large crowd was stirred to see Reni An- tolini placed second in the final of the hurdlesg Bill Payne did most of the scoring in the sprints. As always, Ruther- ford was represented by a fast Junior team, led by Bob Price, which counted heavily toward the team's total of points. Track In the field events, Gene Rybicki aided materially. If Mr. Dupes, as coach, can develop a few more field men, the team will face a brighted outlook for next sea- son. The schedule as this article goes to press, is as follows: Rutherford Opp. East Rutherford .................... 95 55 Princeton Alumni Meet.. 3rd N. N. J. I.

Champions As in football, Rutherford has grown to expect a winning cross-country team. This year was no exception. Coached by Mr. Stone, the team either won or ranked high in every meet in which it participated. Facing the strongest opposition in the country, the Blue and White did well to gain sixth place in the national meet, ahead of the other New Jersey teams. Though failing to do better than third in the state meet, the school was compensated by Bill Boschen's winning in record time-lower- ing his own record. As a result of the N. N. J. I. C. C. L. meet, the team was able to present to the school the largest trophy it has had, the Stevens Tech cup. Either Captain Leighton, Captain-elect Otis, or Bill Boschen led his team mates in each meet. With most of this year's team remaining, the school may look for- ward with great hopes to next season. The schedule was as follows: Rutherford Opponent 25 ............

Soccer l C The soccer team, hard hit by the grad- uation of eleven lettermen, was not to get started until the end of the season. Coach Millard and Captain Ferry deserve a great deal of credit for developing such a good team out of new material, considering that this is only the fourth year that soccer has been recognized in R. H. S. The un- usually large turnouts for positions on the team and the support which the student body gives, show that this sport is mak- ing its way to the front ranks. The prospects for next year look very bright as the team will lose only three men by graduation. I. Robertazza, who fills the position of inner right this year, will cap- tain the team for the season of 1930. , The schedule for 1928 was as follows: Rutherford Opponents 0 ............

However, Coach Tryon did not let the season go through without some results. He spent most of his time developing players for next season and perfecting a five-man defense team. The team, after losing its first two games came out on top, winning four straight. With the loss of Ravel, the team was defeated in the next two games, which concluded the first part of the sea- son. The loss of Brooks through ineligi- bility proved to be a great set-back, eight out of the following ten games being lost. However, with the return of Sitarsky, Port, Love, and the faithful substitutes, we may look forward to a successful sea- son next year.

' Girls' lnterclass Basketball As girls' interscholastic basketball has been discontinued, our entire interest has been centered on interclass games. Last year's varsity players have coached these teams and have succeeded very well,-- Ruth Clough taking the the Sophomores, Anna Disch and Anna Huber, the Juniors, and Ruth Ross, the Seniors. As the teams were evenly matched, the games were exceptionally fast and close. The outstanding players of the Seniors were Lucy' Smith, forward, who made practically all the points for the team, and Ruth Ross, guard, who prevented many baskets from being made. The Sopho- mores, for beginners, showed very good basketball and good fighting spirit. Edith Morrell, forward, missed hardly a basket. The Juniors were fortunate in having Vir- ginia Hopkins, because of her exceptional centers, worked very well together in get- ting the ball to their forwards. Seven games were played in which the Juniors were the victors. The following players earned their letters: Grace Bishop, Helen Britton, Anna Chiaviello, Elizabeth Earle, Elizabeth Farley, Marie Fischer, Eleanor Gal, Eloise Holmes, Virginia Hop- kins, Marion Nussbaum, Norma Smith, Helen Shrylock, Elizabeth Santer, and Eleanor Worfolk. The coaches, Ruth Ross, Ruth Clough, Anna Disch, and Huber also received their letters.

Girls lnterclass Hockey This year there has been a revival of girls' interclass hockey. The girls fought valiantly to have a hockey field of their own and were finally rewarded. Miss Park should be congratulated on her success as there Were no experienced players. The contests were the more interesting because of the evenly-matched teams. The out- standing players Were Lena Sitarsky and Margaret Farley for the Sophomores, Norma Smith and Anna Disch for the J uniorsg while for the victorious Seniors, Louise Cole starred with Rena Rammel and Rose Badaracco consistently hitting the ball, defending their almost unap- proachable goal. Those who received their letters Were: Rose Badaracco, Ruth Clough, Louise Cole, Betty Dechant, Anita Fuligni, Margaret Gallaway, Ruby Hov- sepian, Pauline Mathias, Arthemise Peter- son, Dorothy Phelan, Rena Rammel, Elsie Riccio, and Lucy Smith.

Brooks, Mr. Tryon, Coachg A. Smith, Manager. Baseball The 1929 baseball team of R. H. S., under the efficient coaching of Mr. Tryon has proved a great success. Handicapped by bad Weather and by the failure of last year's lettermen, including the captain, to pass their mid-'term exams and so be eli- gible for baseball, Coach Tryon was forced to build a team around only five letter- men,-T. Coomber, E. Franklin, C. In- graham, A. Port and J. Brannigan. With the turnout of a large squad, Coach Tryon was able both to pick out a strong pitching staff consisting of Bran- nigan, Sitarsky, and Mercier, and also to fill in the vacant positions with promising players. Captain Coomber, at third base, constantly instilled courage into the hearts of the team, both by his fine spirit and his good playing.

The contestants were evenly matched, and with much diffi- culty the following team was selected: Anna Disch, the first singlesg June Clark, the second singlesg and Ruth Clough and Edith Morrell, the doubles. Due to lack of practice because of inclement Weather con- ditions, the team was forced to accept defeat in their first match from the hands of Hackensack. However, We are con- fident that the season will be finished with a good record. The schedule to date follows: Rutherford Opponents 0 ....................
