CONTENTS orewo'rcfL,wm'w In preparing this work for publication we have endeavored to include just such material as will be truly representative of the Rutherford Senior High School, and it is our sincere desire that the students may accept it as such. Extreme difficul- ties were encountered in avoiding conven- tionality and in finding new and distinc- tive features, but, thanks to the invaluable interest of Miss Owen, and the fine co- operation of the entire staff, the book bears no striking similarity to its prede- cessors. We wish to thank the business staff headed by Wilfred Molinari for its in- dustry and perseverance-the typists, the art department, the athletic editors, the personal editors, the reporters-and Mr. Yokum for his willingness to be of as- sistance at all times. Credit is especially due to Therese Goerner, who has held two positions, As- sistant Business Manager and Typist, with exceptional ability.

J SENIGR CLASS HISTORY ' Three years-Tempus fugit. Three years packed with fun, laughter, and study-and the Class of '31 lived every second of them. Back in 1928 a group of frightened, bewildered novices entered High School. After about three months of rushing around, dashing into the wrong class rooms, and herding in the corridors, they began to lose that somewhat dazed look so common to Sophomores. They puffed out their chests when they realized that one of their own members was on the varsity football squad which won the state championship. Deciding that there ought to be leaders of the flock, they elected Vin- cent Flanagan President. His aides were: Vivian Thomas, Vice-President, Doris Hackett, Secretary, George Miller, Treas- urer. They presented for public approval, somewhat timidly, but by no means despairingly, a dance and a social. On Class Night they swaggered out in sailor costumes, and returned with sore throats 44 and ideas on the subject What I'm going to do to those Sophs next year. Thus passed the first year of that history-mak- ing class. Now up one more rung on the ladder to fame-Juniors. Heads swollen about one- sixth of an inch, chests out at least on- quarter of a foot further. You see, these go-getters succeeded in what they set out to do. Consequently, the November foot- ball dance was put over with a bang. This was followed by the equally successful Junior Dance. WheW ! was the sigh of relief breathed by the residents of As- bury Park when the last Rutherford Jun- ior had ruefully taken his homeward de- parture. The Juniors introduceda novel costume idea into the Class Night parade by ap- pearing in chef's costumes. Those in charge of the Junior activities were: Ed- ward Dawson, President 5 Vincent Flan- agan, Vice-Presidentg Vivian Thomas, Secretary, and Doris Hackett, Treasurer. At last they attained the coveted posi- tion--that of being Seniors. Tall, digni- fied, With that certain air , they now strolled through the school, so that it was unbelievable that they had ever rushed anywhere. Their officers were Vincent Flanagan, Presidentg Alfred Port, Vice- Presidentg Lena Sitarsky, Secretaryg Vivian Thomas, Treasurer. Very active now-many members hold- ing offices in the clubs and organizations, many managing and captaining athletic teams. You just can't keep a good class down! Tea dance! tea dance! vvho's going to the tea dance and Why? For the benefit of the Washington Trip, of course. What a memorable time those Seniors had at the hotel, at Mount Vernon, and at Annapolis! They didn't miss a thing. There's so much still ahead--that in- teresting character, play, The Goose Hangs High, by Lewis Beach, to be pre- sented Class Night, the Senior dance, an enjoyable evening, Senior Day, on the hazy horizon, and far, far away, that marvelous affair, COMMENCEMENT. So has passed the three years. The Class of '31 will, We hope, long be re- membered because of its achievements, its personnel, and lastly, because of the standards it set and kept.

H. S. Class of '31, and, although it has been years since I have seen many of those old friends, I can easily recognize their characteristics in the letters which I have published below. I am sure you will- find them of interest. -S. McKeen, Rutherford, 1942 Dear Miss McKeen: Won't you contribute to our fund? We are so in need of money, and I know you are in sympathy with our great cause. ' Miss Marjorie Aldom Home for Blind Fleas. My dear Miss Editor: I have just read your letter asking for information as to the nature of my voca- tion. I will accurately tune your piano for a small fee. ' A. Alessi Dear Miss Editor-in-Chief: I am sending this via radio from Mars, where I have at last settled down. It's a small old universe after all. Ben Anderson My dear Miss McKeen: Perezoso cigars are absolutely the best one-cent cigars on the market. I am in- cluding a sample carton for your approval under a separate cover. W. Apgar My dear Madam: Your letter was most antalgic and I shall proceed to take an Hegira to my ciborium where I shall place it and there- after lapse into a cinquepace. Harry Bailey, Prof. Philology, Berne. Dear Sally: Oh dear! I'rn so ennuied. I have inter- viewed fifty people in the past week, and every one of them has been quiet and unassuming! Kay Baillie My dear Miss McKeen: Have you heard my latest song hit, Don't Pull Papa's Whiskersn? It's a wow! And say, wait till you hear the one I'm Writing now Tillie from Timbuck- too ! Ken Bailey Dear Sally: I have just returned from my second submarine venture under the South Pole where I have established an advertising agency for refrigerators. Mailcl Ball My dear Sally: I am very busily engaged growing potted plants for perturbed Peruvians and oh, I met the most stunning- D. Barminga Dear Sally: Have you read my latest volume of poetry, A Few Grapefruit from the Balcony? It is most exotic and is pub- lished by A. A. Guoffls. Don't fail to get a copy at your nearest drug store. C. Barlow Dear Sally: You will be pleased to know that I used woman's privilege of going up in the air to the utmost. I have just broken all records for Woman's Balloon Altitude Test. Dorothy Bennett Dear Sally: Here I am plucking pineapples on the wonderful Hawaiian terraces. As it is al- ways raining I obtain a great deal of vitamin R Crain vitaminj. Lend Bertini My dear Miss McKeen: There has been a recent shortage of nuts for use in the manufacture of tractors, as the foundries are not producing a suf- ficiency. Can you recommend any of the Rutherfordian staff as being able to, in any way, remedy the deficiency? Ed. Bishop My dear Miss Editor: Do you read my daily column in the Wireless? It is called Now I Believe, and it contains most illuminating comments on current occurrences. I Arthur Bloete My dear Sally: Consider your Adam's Apple! Use Blamer cough crops for irritated larynxes . . . And our new antiseptic kills germs in record time. In closing I say: Consider your Adam's Apple! G. Blumer Dear Miss Editor: I'm inclined to believe that you have not heard me speak over the radio. Yes, that's what I do. My topic for the past five months has been, What the college boy should eat. Truthfully, Miss Mc- Keen, I don't know what will happen if these boys keep on dieting this way. You should see the letters of complaints re- ceived from various well-known restau- rants. Fred Bortis Dear Miss Editor: Oh, for the old ballyhoo! Here you are, ladies and gentlemen, step right this way and get your bottle of Sioux herbs, marked one dollar on the label, but which sells here for fifty cents! Dr. V. Boscurelle Dear Sally: Here I am working in a pharmacy, fgeneral storeb I think it is so much fun to mix these chemicals and I just love to add a little of this or that to perscriptions just to see what happens. D. Botsford Dear Sally: I have just encountered your letter among some other papers on my desk, and I am replying to tell you that I am the Editor of Peoria's latest newspaper, The Evening Sunrise.

I design every type of coat for the Russian Wolf Hound. Roslyncl Bryan Dear Sally: I have had a most successful career ever since my high school days. Un- doubtedly you have seen notices of my concert which was given last week. But really, I shouldn't take all the credit. It should go to my little kangaroo Johnny, for he is the one who does the singing. You should hear the audience applaud! Do come some time. Elvira Burleigh Dear Miss Editor: I have finally become head bell hop in the Old Barbizamn hotel in New York City. I have the most interesting ex- periences! Hotel work certainly is fas- cinating. I hope in time to become a desk clerk. Wish me luck! Eugene Barnkrant Dear Miss McKeen: I am very busily engaged attempting to sell Chameleons in the streets of Aber- deen. They are guaranteed to match any plaid. Sofar I have sold none. Very truly yours, Jean Clanny Dear Sally: These Latin students are so exasper- ating! Their ideas of syntax are atro- cious! You know, I have decided to ful- fill my ambition and become a boon to little classic lovers. You see, I have been teaching now for a year, and I really think the profession quite enjoyable. Most teachers do. Jane Clark Dear Sally: Don't be alarmed when I tell you what I'm doing. For the past two weeks I've been modeling these New Knee Breechesf' They come in every color and material, and serve every purpose. Are they chic! Remember way back in high school when those long, hot, swishy pajamas were all the rage? Imagine wearing any thing like that now! O my dear! y Sarah Jane Cook Dear Editor-in-chief : In answer to your question as to my present employment-I am head of the Garden Workers Association. We just succeeded in securing an increzge in salary for the Rose Gardeners but a de- crease for the Sweet Pea Workers. For some unlucky reason sweet peas are growing very well this year. If you should ever need me, call Monterey 56-2057. Lloyd Cooinbes Dear Sally: I have been having a great deal of trouble lately, for I have been transferred to the jewelry department. As I am shy about assuming the responsibility, I fear I may have to give up my position here at Woolworth's. Elinor Constantinicles My dear Miss Editor: I haven't got much time to write, but I will say a few words. I am employed chasing armadillos on the banks of the Sulu Sea. Leon Daul My dear Miss McKeen: In reply to your query about my pres- ent state of' employment, I am pleased to inform you that I am the third chorus boy from the left in Schwab and Mandel's latest hit, England's Boy Friend. I count quite confidentially on assuming a speaking role of two or three lines in a -year or so. . . Norman Davie Dear Miss McKeen: I've got a job posing in Moe Levy's 322.50 suits for newspaper ads. Pretty good job, too, although the strain of such labor is telling. Roger ale Vries My dear Miss Editor: ' It pleases me greatly to inform you that I was recently promoted to the high- est paid job in Antoinette's Beauty Salon on Fifth Avenue.

I have become a Roxy usher! Need I say more? Phil Dreyfus My dear Sally: Since this is really a business letter, may I ask you before going any further to contribute a small sum for the poor persecuted Afghans? You probably real- ize now that I am a social service worker. Our noble alma mater, R. H. S., started me on the road to success when I first aided the Help the Porto Ricans drive. Mary Eichen Anti-Ping Pong League of America, National Headquarters, Washington, D. C. Dear Miss McKeen: You will perceive that our organization has mercifully stopped Ping Pong playing in many parts of the country. You were no doubt aware of the atrocious situation which existed in Rutherford Ca small New Jersey town near Patersonb before our work began. Miss P. Ebersten Dear Sally: Have you tried my new course on How to obtain a Well-modulated Voice? It is positively wonderfull And it's guaranteed to eliminate squeaking. I Peg Farley Dear Sally: I know you are very inexperienced, but I am sure you could successfully recount some of your affairs for my magazine, Flaming Stories,', of which I am owner and Editor-in-chief. Margy Ferguson My dear Miss McKeen: . . . I am about to affix the traditional gardenia in my lapel 'and fare forth to present the key of Rutherford to some visiting English Lecturer.

It is my chief duty to ward off the more obnoxious writers of mash notes and to keep an ample'supply of gardenias on hand. Iris Finch My dear Miss McKeen: - The railroad business is in fine shape- the line can almost be taken out of the hands of the receivers. My presidential duties keep me very busy of course, for, as you no doubt have heard, I am presl- dent of the Brakeman's Union. Norman Fisher Editorial Staff, Rutherfordian, 1931: This necessarily brief missive is just to inform you that I am resting here in Awaii from my arduous labors as Mayor of Rutherford, and, incidentally, to get as far away from those racketeers as pos- sible.

S. Gallaway, Moscow, immediately? I am working here asxan engineer in the completion of the 'fExtended Fifty-Year Project. I told a funny story to a peasant. and am about to be hanged.

May Hagovsky Dear Sally: I have risen from mere secretaryships in R. H. S. Now as the President of Soft Chairs Incorporated, I am about to take a seat.

Wallace Purely 53 Dear Miss McKeen: I have just completed an earnest study of the amphibious reptile of Africa, the crocodile.

Yes, I believe there is a great future in the paint industry. Herbert Seijas Dear Sally: I sit in my rose garden and play with my pansies while I watch the little pussy- willows chasing the dandelions across the grass. Alicia Seeger Dear Sally: The public has awarded me the Blue Ribbon for originality in art. I must ad- mit that it was only luck that my gargoyle was placed on the building upside down. Gab Segreii Dear Sally: . Couldn't I ship you C. O. D. a box of Perkins' Playful Peaches? They are those delicious juicy ones which are ready to meet you half-way. Leiia Sitarsky Dear Sally: I am really badly shaken up, for you see, I fell off the scaffold while painting cherubim on the dirigible, Akron. I ad- vocate a revival of the old art, the old school which-CEd. Note: the rest has been omittedl. Dot Sliiigsby Dear Miss McKeen: I have just returned from a Yale- Harvard football game where I earned two dollars and fifteen cents selling Penn State banners. During the summer I have a wayside stand in Bogota where you may buy Moon-Kist Grape Juice for only five cents a glass. I Arthur Smith GAL 22--Rutherfordian Dear Miss McKeen: I have recently become quite an athlete. I spend all my time playing football, basketball, golf, and tennis. I try to vary the program in order that this pastime won't grow monotonous. Unfortunately these machines do take all one's loose change. Marjorie Smith My Dear Sally: My present occupation is a not unpleas- ant one. I am one of Arthur Murray's charming dancing hostesses. May I analyze your dancing for a moderate charge? Etda-Jane Solcotic Dear Miss McKeen: The position of confidential secretary to President Ritchie is an arduous one, I can assure you. He is at present fishing on the Rapidan, as usual. M.

Francis Terhune Dear Sal: Come trip the light fantastic toe! My new show was an artistic success, but the public doesn't appreciate art. We close tonight. Vt Dear Miss Editor: You know, of course, that Ripley has become antiquated. Only a woman could think up a series like my Don't Believe It! My biggest sensation was a drawing of a horse. People thought that funny mammal was to preposterous. Mary Thompson Dear Sally: Number, please? Oh, I beg your pardon, it's just a habit by now.

The walls of my oEice reverberate with the cries of the ailing which I soon silence with Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Come and hear them voice my success. Mary Zalewshi SCHOOL NOTES Although it may not be generally real- ized, our assembly programs have been exceptionally interesting and well pre- sented. They have embodied, for the most part, fine entertainment and educational value. Some of the most outstanding ones are: recitations by Miss Grace Everett, a broad-minded and very valuable talk on Lincoln by Mr. Popham, a lecture on American Landscape Painting, by Miss Helen Chanalis, a moving picture showing Canadian scenery, a talk on the League of Nations, a talk on the World Court, the Tri-Y, and the I-Ii-Y programs. Because of the poor attendance at the Senior class meetings, owing partly to the press of other duties and partly to a dis- appointing lack of interest, an executive council was appointed to carry on the en- tire work ofthe class. It was decided that any interested member of the class might attend the meetings. The members of the council are: Vincent Flanagan, Vivian Thomas, Lena Sitarsky, William Oliver, June Clark, Alfred Port, William Franklin, Dorothy Banninga, Louis Lempert, Alonzo Teeple, Frank Disch, Doris Stockhammer, and Frances Terhune. Charles Gwynne and his Harvard Crimsons,-Robert Price, Harry Bailey, Fred Wood, and Jim Hands,-have sup- plied good music for many school dances. Their services have been rendered cheer- fully and efficiently, so that we have never been at a loss for a good orchestra. William Galloway received the annual award offered by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in science and mathematics. 56 u THE WASHINGTQN TRIP And so it was that we arrived in Wash- ington, rather tired from the long ride on the train, but, nevertheless, able to show some enthusiasm for the afternoon tour which carried us through the heart of the city, Rock Creek Park, and Arlington, the National Cemetary. After a short rest and a welcome meal at the Cairo four hotel, which was Washington's first and one of its few skyscrapers, towering twelve stories above the sidewalkslj we went to the Congressional Library, one of the most beautiful and imposing build- ings in the country, which by the way, con- tains two copies of every copyrighted book. On the next morning we visited many interesting buildings, among them the Lincoln Memorial, the Pan-American Building, the White House, the Washing- ton Monument, and the Capitol. In the afternoon we boarded the old Charles Macflllister, Potomac steamer, and sailed to Mount Vernon where We had our pic- tures taken as is the custom. y The last morning was spent in Annap- olis at the United States Naval Academy, where the girls admired the cadets, and the boys enjoyed the scenery. In the aft- ernoon we bade adieu to Washington and, after a somewhat hilariously sleepy train trip, and bus ride arrived at Rutherford. 57 UNIGN AND PARK SCHOOLS ss l JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS ' , - President, Herbert Giloolyg Vice-Presielent, Lucy Whowtong Secretary, Estelle Balmag Treasurer, Donald Norris. ' THE JUNICR CLASS The sun shone bright and my spirits were high as I chugged down river in the tiny press boat on my Way to interview the Junior Class, due that morning from a one-year cruise. Here was a chance for a story! Suddenly the little motor sput- tered in excitement, and looking up hur- riedly, I beheld the Junior Ship, sailing gently up the river of learning,-sailing toward Seniorland With the winds of am- bition in her gleaming white sails. I came alongside, clambered abroad, and gazed around. There Was Captain Gillooly pac- ing the quarter-deck with a chart in his hands. He informed me that the trip had been a Very pleasant one, and that the annual Junior Football Dance had been a great success. As he spoke, I glanced over the passen- ger list and noticed that there Were sev- eral persons of importance listed there: Edmund Salomon and Siffrein Vass, let- termen of the Cross-Country Team, Bill Williams, John Coomber, Sydney De Azevedo and Victor Johnson of the Soccer team g Mary de Smedt, captain of the girls' basketball and soccer teams, Lillian Shat- terian, captain of the girls' hockey team, Georgine Hance, Ruth Koehler, Doris Ruuth and Siffrein Vass of the National Honor Society, and a goodly share off the successful football team, including the captain-elect, Mike Bullard. Then, since Third Mate Norris seemed to be busy double-checking the ship's funds, I did not disturb him, but strolled over to interview First Mate Wharton and Second Mate Balma, who were discussing the various means of raising money for the Washington trip next year. Feeling that my task was accomplished, I wished them happy landings, and dashed back to the press boat to catch the next issue of the Rutherfordicm.

SOPHOMORE CLASS CA conversation overheard between Senior A and Senior BJ- Senior A: Say, have you noticed the Class of '33? They are extraordinary, to say the least. Senior B: Extraordnary? Why? Senior A: Haven't you heard? It is the only class that has conducted itself in such a business-like manner that it has succeeded in buying a banner out of col- lected dues. The rumor is that they have enough money left to finance a' dance in the spring. Such business descretion is unusual among Sophomores. Senior B: I thought you were going to mention their contributions to athletics! Look at the list posted here. Jim Hands, besides playing center on the football team, and being a member of the track team, makes a fine class presidentg Walter Mc- Kenna plays on the basketball team and is captain of the baseball squad. In addi- tion many others support track and soccer. The girls have not been out-done either. There were twenty-three girls out for basketball, eighteen for soccer, twenty- nine for hockey, and thirty for baseball. Senior A: From the size of that list, it is easy to see that the school may expect great things of them. We may rest assured that our places will be ably filled and the fame of R. H. S. Will be carried on by the Class of 1938. V Il g.E'DU 61 FACULTY PORTRAITS Cool, tall, and collected .... Quality, every inch . of her, and a master of French ....

NATIONAL l-IQNOR SOCIETY On April 21, 1931, the names of the new members of the National Honor Society, chosen by the faculty, were announced. They are as follows: Alfred Alessi, El- vira Burleigh, Frank Disch, Therese Goerner, Kingman Grover, Doris Hackett, Elizabeth Halpin, Phoebe Harlan, John Ingraham, George Krieger, William Oli- ver, Waite Robertson, Vivian Thomas CSeniorsJg Georgine Hance, Ruth Koeh- ler, Doris Ruuth, Siffrein Vass CJuniorsD. The motto of this organization is, Light is the symbol of truth. The society up- holds character, scholarship, leadership, and service. 1 The stage was very appropriately set. Upon a standard in the background, the emblem of the organization, the keystone and the flaming torch, was placed. In front, chairs for the new members were set in V formation. John Ingraham, chairman of the pro- gram, introduced Mr. Moore, who, in turn, called upon the new members to take their places. Following this, Mr. Moore explained the process of election. Mr. Fetterly then delivered a very interesting speech to the new mmbers and the student body. An explanation of the significance of the emblem was next given by Vivian Thomas. An impressive touch was given to the program when all arose and repeat- ed the pledge of the society, led by the chairman. Mr. Moore then presented each member with the charm emblematic of membership to the society. Then, while the rest of the pupils were leaving the auditorium, the members, each in turn, wrote their names in the attrac- tive blue-bound gold-lettered book, which hereafter, will contain the personal auto- graphs of all those elected to the National Honor Society. 64 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY A65 QW - iff 0 R S ,J 1 Y . THE TALE OF FERIWAR The tents were pitched on a small bush- covered plateau of solid rock which rose above the dunes so that a great expanse of rolling sand was visible, and far to the north, long purple clouds blended with a low range of mountains. The sun was sinking toward Mecca and the desert was streaked with long patches of orange and black, while the sky gleamed above like a China-blue cup. The evening meal was over, and Mohammed Nizami sat, legs crossed, at the door of his tent, surround- ed by the four others. O wise one, said one of them, strok- ing his grey beard, can you tell us why it is that no man can see all things with clarity? For everywhere in this world truth and bigotry are inseparably mar- ried. Nizami reflected a moment and began: During the reign of Kai-kobad in the land of Persia there lived a mighty war- rior whose valour and cleverness has won him perpetual fame in the annals of his country. Now to this warrior there was born a son, who was called Feriwar, and who showed early signs of great promise, easily excelling his youthful competitors in the arts of battle and the pursuit of learning. But as is customary in that country, he was addicted to wine, and when Fate looked upon him in anger, he drowned his cares in the grape. This prac- tice was not considered wrong by his father, who believed it natural and, if any- thing, somewhat beneficial. . . O Salci, pour forth the red running wine! For the cares of the past and the dread of tomorrow Are lost in the cup that barlishes sorrow. O, Suki pour forth the red running wine! However, he wished his son to be per- fect in every way, so he sent him to Arabia that he might learn something of the man- ners and customs of the people, and ob- tain wisdom from their philosophers and scientists. , So it was that Feriwar come to Muscat and there fell in with a group of devout and learned followers of the Prophet, who taught him to abstain from fermented drink and give up his war-like pursuits in favor of a life of study and devotion. For a while he was contented and made 66 great mental and spiritual progress, but one day there arrived in Muscat a desert chieftan who boasted far and wide that he could defeat any man alive in single combat. Many Warriors matched their skill with his in vain. Hearing of this, Feriwar thought of his earlier days, and was unable to resist the temptation to test his powers, for the blood of youth was in him, and before it the words of prophet and seer are as nothing. So he girded on his sword, now rusty from disuse, and forthwith made his way to the field of battle. Hundreds gathered to watch the combat, and the young Persian, finding himself unaccustomed to the feel of his weapon and feeling somewhat embar- rassed, ordered a skin of wine to be brought to him which he emptied with amazing speed. Now, he had not touched wine for some time, so the drink had a decided and immediate effect. With flashing bloodshot eye he strode upon the field His sword-arm's vigorous play, his youth- ful strength revealed. The sabres clashed, the red blood gushed The dust obscured the sun And so they fought, the long day out Yet neither man had won. When night fell the warriors were ex- hausted, and a truce was readily made between them. Feriwar was to be made leader of a band of desert nomads, which the two joined the next day. For a year Feriwar enjoyed the pleasures of fighting. Many cities were pillaged at his orders, and wherever he went the land was laid waste. But finally his men disbanded by mutual consent, for, although two men are stronger than one, one is easier to conceal. Therefore Feri- war made his way to India where he be- came deeply interested in Yoga, and spent much of his time at Benares, dis- covering there a man who would teach him that which he wished to learn. For three years he squatted in one place be- fore a temple on the Ganges While around him thousands crawled over that great mass of intricate ruin that has towered there since time began. But he had for- saken this uncertain world, and his mind never moved from the ends of the cosmos. Then one night there came to him a dream in which he saw his father who said: Come, My Son, your aging father dies Come bless once more these swiftly fading eyes Ere I must join that phantom caravan That onward moves in Fates' unerring hand. Come, my son, your aging father dies. And so, on his twenty-seventh birth- day he arrived in Persia only to find his father dead. None of his friends recog- nized him, for his limbs were shrunken and his face was wrinkled and yellow like a melon. He became a hermit and lived on the side of Mount Alberz. Occasionally people came to him for advice, for he had a very wise appearance, but it was found that he could form no delinite opinion about anything, even though he had traveled far and seen much, for no where had he found knowledge and wisdom common to all men. And thus it is, friends, that a man's thoughts are built on his surroundings, and no man can be everywhere at all times. ' -D. W. R. '31. 67 A GLIMPSE OF RELATIVITY It seems that there is ever a thirst for a knowledge of that which may not be understood, and that everywhere men search for an ultimate something to satisfy their reason for being: for it is this principle which turned the minds of savages to magic and witchcraft, and de- veloped the various religions, incidentally, creating the sciences as well. Thus it is that certain students of Rutherford High School have manifested an interest in the doings of Einstein. I claim no authority on the subject, and have admittedly very little knowledge thereof, but submit the following philosophical implications de- rived from acknowledged sources in the hope that they may stimulate certain in- terests, and perhaps bring about a little earnest study. Relativity has given birth to many glaring misconceptions in the minds of laymen, and scientists too. It has been used as a confirmation of almost every religious and philosophical argument imaginable, and each man interprets it in the manner best suited to his own par- ticular needs without bothering to find out what it's all about. Almost anyone may be heard to remark with extreme gravity that Einstein has said that all things are relative, but that more or less meaningless statement has very little to do with the Theory of Relativity. In the first book of the Principia Mathe- matica Sir Isaac Newton wrote: It is possible that in the remote regions of the fixed stars, or perhaps far beyond them, there may be some body absolutely at rest, but impossible to know, from the positions of bodies to one another in our regions, whether any of them do keep the same positions to that remote body. It follows that absolute rest cannot be de- termined from the position of bodies in our regions. In other words, it is impossible to de- termine the existence of an absolutely stationary body in the universe. So, in order to fill the need for such a standard, fmotion was then considered as having an absolute valuel, an ether was estab- lished which was supposed to pervade all space and all matter. A means of trying to find the earthis velocity through this medium was devised by Professor Michel- son, who reasoned that a beam of light sent across the stream of ether through the earth would not move with the same speed as a beam moving with or against the stream. He constructed a circular table and arranged it so that a beam of light passing along the radius of its top toward the center would be there divided into two perpendicular beams by a half- silvered mirror placed at an angle of forty-five degrees with the direction of the source beam, the two diverging beams being reflected back from the edge of the table and combining in a single beam, moving perpendicular to the original beam, where any difference in the veloci- ties of the two beams might be detected. In brief, he arranged his apparatus so that the speeds of two perpendicular beams of light could be compared by means of extremely sensitive optical in- struments. If one beam moved with the stream, the other would have to move across it at a different velocity, but, no matter how the table was rotated, the velocities of the two beams in actual ex- periment were always the same. Other similar experiments failed to indicate an ether stream, and the tentative, empirical conclusion was therefore reached that the earth moved with novelocity through the ether. However, Lorentz explained that it was reasonable to suppose that the linear dimensions of bodies changed with their motion, and, in that case, it would be impossible to measure an ether stream if there was one. His experiments indi- cated that bodies contract in the direction of their motion through space in the ratio of the square root of the quantity: one minus the velocity of the object squared divided by the velocity of light squared. The velocity of light being roughly 300,000 km. per second. Qlt is interesting to no- tice that in the above formula, if the velocity of the object was equal to the velocity of light, the value would become, the square root of the quantity: one minus one divided by one, or zero. Hence, according to the formula, an object mov- ing through space with the speed of light would lose its dimension in the direc- tion of its motionlj This principle of the impossibility of determining the motion of a body through the ether is considered a natural law and is the hypothesis for the special theory of relativity. It may be stated thus: It is of necessity impossible to determine absolute motion by any ex- periment whateverg or The phenomena of nature will be the same to two ob- servers who move with any uniform velocity whatever relative to one another. QEinsteinJ. Now we come to the fourth dimension. It was found that according to the prin- ciples of the special theory of relativity certain electro-magnetic phenomena could not be explained as occurring in a three- dimensional world. So time, which has al- ways been a subject of much philosophical discussion, became the fourth dimension. With this time dimension it is possible to locate an object in motion, for example, a particle moving across this page might be two inches from one edge and three from the other, on second later, four inches from each edge, etc. Thus a three-di- mensional fthe third space dimension, altitude, is here constantj space-time graph might be constructed showing the history of this particle moving across the page. A four-dimensional graph would be necessary to show the history of an ob- ject in the universe. The curves repre- senting such histories are known as world-lines, and there is a world-line for every particle in the universe, which rep- resents the history of that particle equally well for all observers. Hence these world-lines in the space-time continuum are objective realities and fto quote Minkowskyj, space in itself and time in itself sink to mere shadows and only a kind of union between the two retains an independent existence. The general theory of relativity deals with gravitational phenomena. -Einstein identified gravitation with the force caused by acceleration or motion, i. e. centrifugal force. He says A gravitation- al field of fo-rce at any point of space is in every way equivalent to an artificial field of force resulting from acceleration, so that no experiment can distinguish be- tween them. Thus an apple, falling from a tree is not being acted upon by some mysterious force,,' but is following its world-line in space-time. So it is that we live in a universe which Sir James Jeans has described as the four- dimensional surface of a distorted soap- bubble-not the inside, nor the outside, for neither exist-but the mere surface, an hypersphere. Just how much of the relativity theory will survive the turmoil of modern physics and mathematics is a matter of speculation, for theoretical science is in a very precarious position. -D. W. R., '31. 69 FANTASIA Down by the ice last night I saw from the edge of the frozen pond A moonbeam come skipping and danc- ing,- So lightly, so airily, Sing softly, sing softly. A And I thought I would like that moon- beam, That glimmering shaft, for a silver arrow. Reach quickly, reach quickly, ' Step softly, step softly. I leaned from the edge of the pond, But I heard the ice crack like frosted glass, And down in the deep black water The precious illusive moonbeam Fell forever out of my reach.

The Midas-Sun had touched the treetopsg Molten-gold drops clung to the gleaming boughs, Then dripped to the yellow leaf-carpet below. -Mary Zalewski, '31 MOON The moon is a pale yellow bubble, It floats upward V On the breath of night, And drifts from sight. -Adelaide Maxwell, '31. 70 CHINESE CLOISONNE On the side of yon hill stands the old Buddhist temple Where dwells an old priest, wrinkled and yellow Whose eye is as piercing as that of a falcon. One summer night I went to consult him For the young girl I married had not been as perfect As I had expected, but like other women. And when I had told him he answered me nothing, But lighted some incense, and placed it still burning At the end of a moonbean in front of the temple The birds of the woodland now silenced their singing, A And the small running stream gurgled softer and softer. The smoke from the incense rose straight up the moonbeam, 'Till out of the moon stepped dainty maiden And gracefully danced down the path of the incense. a small Before me she stood, and no living woman Could rival her beauty which rose above mortals. I reached out my hand, thinking to touch her, But ere I could do so, her small figure vanished. The birds in the woodland resumed their singing And the voice of the streamlet grew louder and louder. I turned from the temple and made my way homeward. -Waite Robertson. BLUE Blue is in every mood- Peace Indecision Strife Peace-serene blue Of summer skies Indecision-misty hazy hue, Strife-clashes of symphonic blue. Blue, deep, deep blue- Ocean And mystic moonlight, Blue-bright sky-blue, flecked With feathery, foamy clouds of white Slipping Over the horizon Into pools of bluest night. -Margaret Farley, '31. NOCTURNE Night, sometimes you are a dancer, Your dress is made of moonlight, Silver moonlight, cold, green moonlight, And patterned with shadows of white birches. Your dress has spangles made of star dust. You have a veil of trailing mist. And as you dance you hold aloft The silver sickle moon. And as you dance you throw your veil Upon the sleeping hills. -K. G. '31, BEAUTY! Why can't I catch you- Imprison you in a few lines Which will always linger, Fragrant, in my mind! Others have- Yet when I try, My thoughts are only cabbages, Commonplace, stale, dry. -Elvira Burleigh, '31 71 A STREET ON A RAINY NIGHT See the dark street before meg A piece of the sky fallen down And hardened into onyx. Where it stretches to the rays of the street lamp A thousand little lights Come out and meet it And dance across it, And hide in the shadows on the other side. But some are caught in the water And held there until a raindrop Frees them. -K. G. '31, THE SUN The dawn is kindling, Set on fire by the sun, And it burns all day, Bright with the smoke We call sky. Sunset comes, a dying flame . That smoulders in the ashy dusk And dies. -Elinor Constantinides, '31 A soft breeze rocks the pads of the lilies And carries the breath of lotus to the open pavilion. X There Hsi Shi sleeps on a bench of white jade. The great Sun mournfully kisses her cheeks on departing, Then sinks to his bed beyond the green montain Whose shadow steals forward .... -Waite Robertson, '31 HONEYSUCKLE It climbs on fairy hands and feet, Noiselessly it fastens itself to the lattice. Silently, ever so silently, it opens its gold vials And sprays sweet perfume on the breeze. -Lillian Dobert, '31. RED MAPLE Like a gushing fountain spreading its crystal spray, A red maple stands pouring forth a vivid glow Over the friendly verdure around it. Every twig seems filled with radiant fire Every blazing leaf showers beauty upon the scene, Or, like a king in royal robe, It stands blessing its gracious subjects. -Elizabeth Halpin, '31 DAWN fAfter Sandburgj The dawn comes on little bird wings Silently it flies past city and city, over height and plain - chased by the sun. -Lena Bertini, '31, THE DARK COMES CAfter Sandburgj The dark comes on lion feet.

Carl Hermann Hugo Frederick Stossle- mosker, I replied proudly. Irish'? he inquired brazenly. No, Scandanavianj' I assured him. Ah, yes, he said after meditation. Are there any questions you would like to ask before you enter the class ? Certainly, I replied, perhaps you will explain Einstein's Theory of Rela- tivity to me. He blushed slightly and said, I refer you to Mr. Waite Robertson, our author- ity on such matters. It is necessary for me to catch a train. He left hurriedly, and I turned to Mr. Robertson. He palmed ia half dollar which I lent him, and I am still mystified about its disappearance. Mr. Gottshall said you would explain Einstein's theory of Relativity to me, I said. . Yes, yes, he said. I have held mathe- matics classes spellbound by my discus- sions. I understand that, I said impatiently, i6butT77 Two o'clockl he exclaimed, looking at the clock. I've got a date. There's Mr. Papenfus. He'll explain it to you. He vanished through the door. So did my half dollar. I regarded Mr. Papenfus. Can you ex- plain Einstein's Theory of Relativity? I asked Wearily. He turned to his companion. Eddie, he said, you explain it to Mr. Stossle- mosker. I have a meeting to attend. Mr. Tryon scratched his head. Ein- stein? he said. Didn't he play left end for Yarvard back in '28 ? I fled. ETERNAL TRIANGLE Nell, bound hand and foot, reclined upon the railroad track.

The remaining years: All that I owe is paid by my father. I raced up the steep greasy slope, and panting heavily, threw myself down on it's fragrant crest. Why had those three men shot at me? I pondered for several moments, but could find no solution to this perplexing problem. I could think of no enemies who would make an attempt on my life. I had never harmed a baby. Then why, why should these tough looking birds, chase me for several blocks, and fire shots at me? I placed my hand on my left side, where a sharp pain was piercing me through and through. Suddenly, I gasped. I sat up and gazed horror-stricken at the hand. It was covered with a dark, wet substance. I tore off my coat, and fas- cinated, watched the stain on my shirt grow ever larger. Then I arose. I cursed. I yelled, and tore my hair. The villains. They would hear about this! I would go now, and if I ever laid my hands on the clerk who told me this fountain pen was non-leak- able, I would tear him limb from limb. -George Wisner. 75 PART OF THE FACULTY MEETS Time-3:30 Place-Room 23 Mr. Gottshall: Well, well, Mr. Hovey, your color's fine today.

However, when I entered my first edifice of learning, my most learned teacher and advisor passed a remark to her senior, the principal, that I had a remarkable liking for phsycho- anobiclynial analysis of nihil-animii. I happened to hear that insult and imme- diately and rightly rebelled. For the next five years, the thought of that insult per- vaded, permeated and overwhelmed my prodigious brain till the teacher was finally forced to resign by my obnoxious actions. The one great change in my life came about when I entered Park School. Here, forced to begin to study, 'I was not able to stand the test and my brain gave way. I have continued in that state of mind and, at the present time, am only interested in the problems of epicurianism, relativity, and trigonometry. I might add that I have hopes of regaining my senses in a few years and may then be of some use to the public. -Lloyd Combes. Why have you named your car after your girl?

THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Headed by Robert Stuart, presidentg Mike Bullard, vice-presidentg and Vivian Thomas, secretary, the Executive Council continued its good work during 1930-31. The Council had a membership of 18. The first thing done was to arrange for the get-together social for the incoming Sophomores. At the suggestion of the Senior Hi-Y, passes were given to all the teachers admitting them to all activities at the Senior High School. The next im- portant matter was the awarding of gold footballs to the football team for winning the N. N. J. I. L. championship. Then the successful G. O. play was given. The Coun- cil fulfilled a great desire on the part of many people when it donated money for the purchase of a dozen lamps for use at plays and dances. This year in addition to the national prizes the Executive Coun- cil established a five-dollar award for the winner of the League of Nations contest. Ice hockey was established as a minor sport, and the constitution of the Mathe- matics Club, a new organization, was ac- cepted. The members of the Council hope that they have served the school as well as have former Executive Councils. Jaeger, and Dobart. De Smedt, Shaterian, 82 l. SERVICE LEAGUE First row-D. Naclerio, R.

SERVICE LEAGUE T7 4 S 5 Q7 Having started the year with the con- tinuation of the splendid assembly seating plan inaugurated last year, the 1930-31 Service League carried on its good Work in many other lines. It first selected Frank Disch as its able president, Norman Davie, vice-presidentg Lena Sitarsky, secretary g Elwood Prit- chard, historian. Mr. Gottshall continued as faculty advisor, again earning the en- thusiastic appreciation of the members. The League appropriated 326.50 for the school library to be used for magazines. It Was agreed that one be purchased for each department. In addition, a very nice magazine rack was made by some of the members. The annual Service League Circus, held on the nineteenth of December, was one of the best ever staged. The added attrac- tion of side shows, comprised of novel ideas, was introduced. The net' profit totaled 3109. This sum, together With the rest of their money, is going to be given to some good cause before the year is completed. An earnest effort has been made toward a better plan for selecting future League Workers. The students have been urged to consider the essential qualities desired in a member, so that the mid-year drop- ping of ineligibles can be eliminated. May those selected have the greatest suc- cess in the coming year. 83 QW -ze.. ,lf 4' Ars-- Q, 'va' is wi ,W i . . wr ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President, Alfred Portg Vice-President, Maurice Bullardj Secretary, June Clark. ATHLETIC AASSCCIATION We are about to set out on another cruise over the news, so, hop aboard the good ship A, A. , and Wave goodbye to everything else for a little while. Come up to the Captain's cabin. Here we introduce you to the chief officers, Sonny Port, Mike Bullard, and June Clark, under Whose able guidance the ship has cruised around for a Whole year. Now let's take a look around the boat and inquire where they have been this year. We find that they passed Amend- ment Bay, famous for awarding gold foot- balls to the football lettermen for winning the N. N. J. I. L., and to Dr. Willis and Danny Jarvis, for their services rendered the squad during the season. Another trip was taken during February to North Amendment, Where the sea was rather rough, but When it calmed down the travelers introduced a new minor sport, ice hockey. It Was quite popular, and the team proved very successful. The much talked of numerals stopped at the Sec- ond Team Islands during the year as another feature of the cruise. Hope you've enjoyed your little trip, and that the Weather .next year is as good as it has been during '30 and '31, and that no great storms will be encountered. ll6'.i?fPEEll ' ' x. RANKLIN oR,UM , W On February 21, 1924, a group of high school students met and formed a society, purposing to foster forensic activities. This body Was named the Franklin Forum. And thus it is that, bi-monthly, the mem- bers of the intelligentsia who have that essential urge to contest the views of their fellowmen congregate and consecrate their energies in moral and verbal combat. Pacific cognition is not found in the en- virons of this organization. And in the fulfillment of this ideal of action, the club has enjoyed a very suc- cessful season. Several debates and a mock trial, at which some very startling personal revelations were made manifest, were held at the nocturnal meetings. The afternoon meetings Were devoted to busi- ness. Probationers were heard and sen- tenced at both meetings. The interest is highg the personnel list reads like a Who's Whog and a successful future seems assured. n n 85 E. T. D. iam - l e ii ii, ,-J sf- TJ 5 i f, ,N If The Epsilon Tau Delta has the stage! This popular and lively club has been busy living up to everyone's expectations. Many changes and improvements have been made this past year. The system of accepting new members has been changed for a fairer, if a much harder one. The probationers now have to serve a term's apprenticeship before being accepted. Thus, non-workers are discouraged in the beginning, and only interested hard Work- ers are initiated. The idea of a formal initiation is also a new one, having been used for the first time this term. It has long been the aim of the dra- matic club to be an independent organiza- tion, writing, directing, producing, and enacting its own plays. Signs of progress in this direction have been made, Dm- matis Personae, a farce comedy, was writ- ten and directed by Waite Robertson. This comedy was presented so well that it at- tracted the attention of the Little Theatre Guild. Quite a feather in the E. T. D.'s cap isn't it? The officers who have so faithfully per- formed their tasks are: Director - - - Elizabeth Halpin Vice Director - - Sally M cKeen Secretary - - - Peg Farley The club has been under the guidance and supervision of Miss Fletcher and Miss Law, who deserve a great deal of credit, for they have been the guiding force in all of our work. 86 l FRENCH CLUB The members of the French Club this year have found the meetings, as a Whole, entertaining and instructive-entertain- ing, because of the variety in our pro- grams, and instructive, because the meet- ings Were conducted entirely in French affording us excellent practice in the use of many expressions common to French conversation. An interesting feature of our meetings has been the playing of games,-ana- grams, marmite vole, ghost, and bridge. When necessary, We were given lists of all the F r e n c h expressions as Quelle chance! C'est dommage! , etc., so that we might properly express our feelings at some stroke of good or bad luck. Two enjoyable plays have been present- ed, La Poupee, a serious play, and Treize a Table, a comedy. One part of our meetings which We al- ways found interesting was the reading of letters from our young French corres- pondents. These, usually Written partly in English and partly in French, Were of- ten delightfully amusing and quaint. At the beginning of the year a rule was made which afforded us much entertain- ment not provided for by the committee in charge. This was the requirement that any member, arriving tardy or speaking English during a meeting, Was required to give an impromptu speech in French. The outstanding event of the year, how- ever, Was the Christmas party. It seemed that almost everyone was in his gayest mood and enjoyed to the full the dancing, singing, and the delicious refreshments. Our officers Were: President, Marie Mead, Vice President, Maud Ball and Therese Goernerg and Secretary, Sally McKeen. The Club greatly appreciates Mlle. But- leris interest and help in aiding us with our programs. 87 SPANISH CLUB The first meeting of the Spanish Club, reorganized by Mrs. Webster and Miss Humrich, was held early in December. A constitution was drawn up, and the fol- lowing officers were elected: president, Robert Hughes, vice-president, Lillian Shateriang secretary, Edith Jaeger, artist, Alonzo Teepleg song-leader, Herbert Seijas. The club has proved itself an active school organization, with a membership of sixty. Meetings are held twice a month. During the year many interesting pro- grams have been given featuring Spanish plays and songs. In the spring a trip was made to the Spanish-American Museum in New York, Where many beautiful objects of native art were seen. The members wish to thank Miss Hum- rich and Mrs. Webster for their help in successfully carrying out all its activi- ties. May the club continue to progress in the future! u u 88 i C. C. C. r v I! . K J! Our club has been very active this year. The membership has increased, and every- one has seemed willing to cooperate in making the programs exceptionally worth while. Our advisors have encouraged the members to Work hard in the interest of the club. The programs have gone a long way to- wards awakening the members to the fact that Latin can be turned into a live-wire subject. We have had talks on the Roman Forum, the chariot races, and have shown slides procured from Mr. Smith of Park School. This has served to increase our knowledge of Roman life in all phases, as well as to increase the general interest in the language itself. The Latin Club has continued to progress towards its worthy aim of making our study of Latin both pleasurable and helpful. The president of the club is Doris Slingsbyg the vice president, Vincent Flanagang and the secretary, Elizabeth Halpin. The entertainment committee has been active under the leadership of Wil- liam Oliver as chairman. l l 89 Q? ' ALPHA GAMMA G . Here you are, Ladies and Gentlemen, Ghandu the Great will answer any ques- tion for only one dime. Now, I wanted to ask this soothsayer a hard question, so I said, What has the Alpha Gamma of Rutherford High School accomplished ? I thought I had him stumped, but, no, he made some passes in the air, gazed into a crystal ball, and began to speak. The Art Club? Many scenes glide across my globe. First I see a group elect- ing oificers, and I can just make out what they are Writing. June Clark is president, Harriet Meyers is down for vice-president, and Johanna Hartmann for secretary. More scenes glide into view, and I see girls and boys with clay onotheir clothes, and paint on their faces. One girl has a large charcoal smudge on her nose, while others are in a corner both pressing and burning material. Nevertheless, the meetings seem successful, especially at the end, when artistically arranged refreshments are passed around on hand-painted trays. Again the scenes change, and I see two dances. One is evidently a Hallowe'en af- fair, and the other Valentine, as I can tell by the appropriately decorated gymna- sium. They must have been successful, also, as everyone seems to be having a good time. He rose abruptly, and said, That's all you get for ten cents. He turned, with a shrug of his shoulders, to the back of the tent, and even though I wished to ask him more, the state of my finances was low, as usual, so I left. , 90 SCIENCE CLUB The present Science Club is the former Microscopic Club changed to meet the scientific demands of the different mem- bers. Students taking any of the sciences in the school are eligible for membership. Botany, Zoology, chemistry, and physics are the subjects taken up by the various members. Qualitative analysis was un- dertaken by those interested in chemistry, the construction of an electric motor by others who had taken a liking to physics, and the study of animal and plant life by aspiring biologists. The annual trip to the New York Mu- seum of Natural History was taken, prov- ing to be interesting and enjoyable. President Norman Fisher has charge of the meetings. John Ingraham, as secre- tary, lends a helping hand, and the coun- sel and advice of Mr. Carpenter keep the club going. This being the first year of the new club's existence, its work was not definitely determined, but next year ought to see a growing and busy organization. n j'Q7h1Qu 91 - ,4 .9 x xl SENIOR l-ll-Y The Hi-Y Club, with the Steck trophy as anincentive, has concluded an unusual- ly progressive program for the year, greatly advancing its reputation for con- sistently good work. Activity started with an assembly pro- gram in which Dr. Conrad spoke on Thanksgiving. We also enjoyed the privi- lege of listening to Dr. Conrad at the Easter Sunrise Service sponsored by the Hi-Y, for which more than two hundred people gathered. The Hi-Y dance at the Women's Club was said by many to have been the out- standing event of the school year. Its im- portance in the Hi-Y program was eclipsed only by the Hi-Yian Follies. Besides this the Hi-Y gave its annual Father and Son Banquet, put on an act for the Service League Circus, held a farcical Beauty Contest for an assembly program, attended an outing to Rainbow Lake, sent two representatives to the State Hi-Y convention, installed the S. O. S. Club of Lyndhurst as a chapter of the Hi-Y, ad- mitted the Co-Y as a sister club, secured the faculty, and held weekly passes for meetings all through the year with mem- bers of the faculty as guests. This program has been made possible by the cheerful, companionable leadership of Mr. Fisher, the hard work of President Vincent Flannagan, Vice President Nor- man Davie, Secretary Sonny Port, Treas- urer Brud Jury, and EX-President Bill Little. To Mr. Tamblyn, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and all those who have made pos- sible the realization of this work we offer our sincere thanks. n u 92 JUNIOR I-ll-Y The Junior Hi-Y had a very successful year under the help and leadership of its advisor, Charles Gwynne. The officers of the club are as follows: President, James Handsg Vice-President, Theodore Ribickig Secretary and Treasurer, William Mc- Allister. The Junior Hi-Y has a number of achievements to its credit. The club played an important part in the Hi-Yian Follies, which was given for the purpose of raising money for band uniforms, and also took an active part, along with the Senior Hi-Y, in the Hi-Y Conference which was held at Hackensack in May. The members also joined the Senior Hi-Y in attending the Everyman's Bible Class and the church services. Through the success of the Tea Dance sponsored by the club, a joint closed party was given for the Senior Hi-Y and the Tri-Y as a closing of a very successful year. J The members have all enjoyed the sea- son, and they wish the best of luck to the new organization. W ll 93 CO-Y CLUB The Co-Y Club, formerly the Tri-Y, has completed its second year of existence. Owing to complications arising from its former name, a meeting was held with the Hi-Y. As a result theclub, re-named Co-Y, was accepted as a sister club. Its purpose is: to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Early in the fall six new members were taken in, and with this added cooperation we gave a cake sale. Not long after, the halls of R. H. S. were besieged by Co-Y members who were selling chances for a turkey raffle. From time to time we as- sisted in various affairs, such as collect- ing money for band uniforms, ushering, and selling tickets. At the beginning of the new term six more members were initiated. The idea of a sport dance was innovated, and was ac- cepted with whole-hearted support. In May the long-awaited Spring Dance was given, bringing Co-Y activities to a close. Officers for the year Were: Catherine Baillie, president, Shirley Hwgfiriiigltrond. vice-president, Edith Morrell, secretaryg Margaret Farley, treasurerg Miss Grace Humrich, Advisor. n 1?sQ4E'au 94 And here comes the Y-'32 With purpose so loyal and true, To serve when they can, Bird, beast, or man, And do a good job of it, too!

U gEEH 95 MATHEMATICS CLUB The Mathi' Club, newly organized this year, has made a fine start. Despite the facts that the .membership is restricted to advanced mathematics students and that refreshments were never served, our meet- ings 'Were always fairly large. The programs covered many of the in- teresting phases of the mathematical sciences. Trick problems were brought in to test the skill of Rutherford's budding Einsteins, and very few of them Went un- solved. William Oliver took charge of a pro- gram dealing With the relation of mathe- matics to music. Bill, it seems, has made a study of harmony, so that he is very Well informed on his subject. Waite Robert- son was also among our entertainers. He spoke on Einstein and his famous relativi- ty theorem. The club has planned a pro- gram tom show prospective students just what it is about. -F So far the club has been made up en- tirely of boys, but in the future girls will be included. - Some of the meetings were held at the home of Wilfred Molinari, who very kind- ly gave us the u:e of his pool and ping- pong room. n The club gives thanks to Mrs. Ross, for Without her patient guidance the organi- zation Would not be possible. The officers for 1930-1931 Were: Presi- dent, Harry Baileyg Vice President, Robert Germanng Secretary, John Ingra- hamg Treasurer, William Franklin. Il lI 96 .I V GIRLS' ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Girls' Athletic Council is composed of fifteen members, five from each of the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore, classes. These members, elected every June by the girls of the student body, control the poli- cies of girls' athletics. They determine the awards and settle any question which may arise in regard to the point system which was devised last year. The duties of the Council have not been arduous this past year, as the point sys- tem has Worked out so satisfactorily that it has not been found necessary to change any part of it. This, I think, speaks very Well for the work of last year's organiza- tion. The Council feels satisfied that this system is practical, as it seems to take the place of girls' varsity athletics, which are gradually being eliminated in most of our schools and colleges. The girls are inter- ested in this democratic form of athletics controlled by students. I The present members are: fSeniorsl R. Bryan, E. Burleigh, E. Morrell, P. Far- ley, and L. Sitarskyg CJuniorsJ F. Allan, M. Kalmbacher, M. Sturtevant, L. Shater- Iian,,and B. Steiner, CSophomoresD P. Brown, J. Grafe, D. Wheeler, Emily West, and E. Steuber. . f nQ.y9Q'g6Naa 97 5 1 98 SPUR STAFF The Spur, a weekly publication, first published in November, 1930, has been a success from the beginning if one can judge by the enthusiasm and support of the faculty and students. Mr. Fisher and Miss Fletcher, the news advisors, and Mr. Carpenter, the financial advisor, have been untiring in their helpfulness. The staff members who have given unsparing- ly of their time are: P. Wright, J. In- graham, R. J. Price, W. Apgar, W. Oliver, C. Baillie, J. Clark, J. Grafe, C. Barlow, R. Germann, H. Bailey, L. Lempert, E. Con- stantinides, E. Purdy, C. Nichols, R. Vil- lard, G. Hackett and D. Stockhammer. The paper, when first published, was a single sheet printed on both sides, de- riving its support entirely from subscrip- tions. As these were not enough to pay the expenses of printing, the paper was enlarged to four pages, an interview col- umn was added, with a picture of the per- son interviewed at the topg and advertise- ments were included. School activities are commented upon in The Watch Glass col- umn , and there is an Alumni column. Beside these there are editorials and sport write-ups. There have been special num- bers dedicated to the Senior and Junior classes. The work has not been easy, but it has been interesting. Most of the present staff is graduating. They wish the incoming staff success. They take this opportunity also to thank the faculty advisors for their aid and the students for their whole- hearted support. Long live the Spur! ..-ng-SME-oju.. 99 100 MUSIC The Music Clubs, composed of the boys' and girls' glee clubs, and double quartets, the orchestra and band, have completed a very successful year. Their success has been due for the most part to the able management and direction of their super- visors, Miss Williams, Mr. Lamberti, and Mr. Hoops. Rapid increase in member- ship as Well as improvement in the quality of the programs presented has been re- vealed in the few, yet entertaining pro- grams' in assembly, presented at different times throughout the past year. The band must be highly complimented for their fine cooperation and good Work during the entire football season. Every- one joins in expressing his appreciation for the bands' efforts and hopes its suc- WI-IUS WI-IO IN SENIOR CLASS Vincent Flanagan ........................

In May, the music clubs will represent Rutherford High School inthe annual festival at Ridgefield Park, given yearly under the auspices of the N. N. J. I. L. If they continue their excellent Work, the Rutherford High School Music Clubs will easily be rated high among the iinest at this festival. R. H.

SENIOR PLAY On Class Night, May 16, the Senior Class presented The Goose Hangs High, by Lewis Beach. The play, a modern three act comedy of American family life, was an admirable choice in that it combined humor and action with sound ideas and true-to-life characters. It presented also a variety of roles that tested the dramatic ability of everyone in the cast. Elizabeth Purdy did the part of Eunice Ingals with feeling and sincerity, and Robert Stuart gave a finished performance as Bernard Ingals. Phebe Harlan, in the part of Granny, delighted the audience with her talented interpretation of that very diffi- cult role. Vivian Thomas and Elmer Pet- tengill as the twins, Lois and Bradley respectively, played their parts with vigor- ous enthusiasm. The parts of Dagmar Carroll and Hugh Ingals were taken by Catherine Baillie and Warren Apgar, both of whom did their work with great ability. Elvira Burleigh was well cast in the part of Julia Murdoch, a relative of the Ingals family. Her son, Ronald Murdoch, was played by Kingman Grover. Another friend of the family was Noel Derby, well acted by Robert Germann. William Oliver and Eugene Burnkrant did full justice to the two difficult parts of the unscrupulous politicians, Leo Day and Elliott Kimberly respectively. Edna Bredenbek played the role gof Rhoda, the Ingals' maid. l Miss Law is to be veryi compli- mented on her 'excellent direction of the play. The eiicient production commit- tees, too, added a great deal to the suc- cess of the play. Those working on the various committees were: Elizabeth Hal- pin and Amina Liva, business managers, June Clark, Peter Wright, Lena Sitarsky, publicity, Sara-Jane Cook, Marie Mead, program, Louis Lempert and Roslyn Bryan, tickets, Waite Robertson, stage manager, William Gallaway, Martha Schindler, Charles Wilkinson, Elinor Con- stantinides, Arthur Bloete, Caroline Bar- low, Arthur Smith, Margaret Farley, properties, Philip Dreyfus, Lloyd Combes, William Franklin,r,Gordon Wells, Alonzo Teeple, stage, Doris Slingsbyfiand Shirley Harrington, costume, StellalGo1dfarb and Thelma Meerbott, make-up Johnclngra- ham and Alfred Alessi, lights. 104 G. 0. PLAY CAST Gorclon Wells, Margaret Farley, Catherine Baillie, Waite Robertson, Thelma Meerbott, Eugene Barnkrant, Daniel Jarvis, and Robert Germann. G.C1 The G. O. presented its annual three- act play in the fall as usual. The play picked by the committee was Romeo and Jane by E dwa rd Childs Carpenter. Strange to say, the cast was completely composed of Seniors, whose acting Was so good that the play has been rated one of the best ever presented by the G. O. A short summary may help you recall it. Romeo, in reality Prince Pilidor of Rovania, on a visit to America, is held up by Brett, an anarchist, who desires a certain box, which the crown princess has entrusted to Romeo. In escaping from this man, Romeo rushes into Jane Kennedy's .10 PLAY garden and demands that Jane hide the box. He is invited in, and a romance de- velopes between Jane's good-looking sister, Letty, and Romeo. When he goes away, Jane writes wonderful letters to him for Letty. On his return, he finds that he loves the girl who wrote the let- ters instead of the one he thought Wrote them. All ends very happily. The following people composed the cast: Romeo, Waite Robertson, Jane, Kay Baillie, Letty, Thelma Meerbottg Dagmar, Peg Farley, Brett, Eugene Burnkrantg Doctor Kennedy, Bob Germanng General Tancredi, Gordon Wells. 5 in which skit FII este W 2, 2I.S FOLLIES ' The last act W -YIAN Follies, HI I1 Hi-Yia 6 th ed present The Hi-Y S-nm SF: is :dm Q wg 0.2 Ea CG E502 QQ-1 4-'fcs O HE L4 31.-.

The members of the league agreed to decide their -champion by a series of dual meets in which the schools will meet individually, and to have the regular N. N. J. I. L. meet also. The teams are now divided into Juniors and Seniors, and have separate meets. The team started the season by defeat- ing Hackensack at Hackensack. Our strength was apparently in the field events, as Hackensack took the majority of the places in the races. The next meet was won from Ridgewood at Ridgewood.

Under Mr. Stone's coaching, two perfect scores were made, against East Side of Paterson and Irvington. The more seasoned harriers of Passaic and East Rutherford won easy victories from us. Rutherford was placed fifth in the State Meet. Captain Edmund Salomon played a close second to Lee Jackson of Central High, Newark. With over one hundred entries, seven of our men were placed in the scoring column. Having won two legs previously on the Stevens Cup, we lost it to Passaic this year. It is necessary to win three legs to keep the cup permanently. The prospects of winning the Stevens meet next season are very bright, as four lettermen are re- turning. George Krieger and Arthur Otto are the only lettermen being graduated. Siffrein Vass acted as manager this sea- son. Although an active memb'er of the team, he also did a fine job as manager. Edmund Salomon was reelected captain for next year. The Schedule Rutherford ODDODGIWS 0 ............ Irvington ........................ 15 0 ............

The basketball team this year was bet- ter than it has been since the days of the Russel brothers, Oats Whitman, and Charlie McKenna. Although a champion- ship was not won, the team was success- ful in thirteen of the twenty games played. For the first time in several years we were entered in the state tourna- ment. We opened the season with a very slow game against Ridgewood, which we lost by the margin of one point. The senior Y. M. C. A. played an exhibition game against us, but lost by four points. Kearny, Cliffside Park, Englewood, Hack- ensack, Leonia, and East Rutherford were defeated in the order named. The East Rutherford game was the most ex- citing game of the first half of the season. After leading Ridgefield Park through- out the game, they -rallied and defeated us 25 to 31. This was the last game of the first semester. It was also the last game in which John Sitarsky represented R. H. S. In the annual Washington's Birthday game we defeated Passaic. After the first period, Passaic did not get the lead until the closing minute, at which time she held a one-point advantage. We won by three 111 points. Englewood defeated us by five points, eliminating us from the N. N. J. I. L. title race. In the state tournament we were defeated by Union Hill after having eliminated Lincoln High of Jersey City.

This year the squad took a great deal of interest in their sport and made a real success of it. At the close of the season an amendment was made to the Athletic Association Consti- tution which will make Soccer a major sport beginning with the 1931 season. When school opened last fall, it was found that no schedule had been arranged for Soccer. Harry Bailey was appointed manager and soon had a Well balanced schedule arranged. With very little ex- perience at his new post, Hank did a very fine job as manager. Captain Robert W. Stuart Jr. and El- wood Pritchard were the stars of this year's team and will be greatly missed next year. Sydney de Azevedo is captain- elect. Manville Smith is arranging an in- teresting schedule for next year. The team Won four games, lost six games, and tied one game. They finished third in the N. N. J. I. Soccer League. With five lettermen and numerous sub- stitutes returning, Coach Millard will have a nucleus for a championship team. The Schedule Rutherford Opponents 0 ....

The Union Club courts were secured as our home court, and the boys have practiced faithfully on them. Very attractive jackets were distributed enabling the team to look neat and uniform. At the beginning of the season numer- ous candidates turned out for the team, but manager Francis Pattberg cut his squad down to six men. Bill Randall plays first singles, Captain Al Karges plays second singles, Elmer Pettingill plays third singles. They have met much strong opposition, but have done- very well. In the doubles the teams are: Phil Dreyfus and Melvin Silverman, and Pet- tingill and Moskowitz. Mr. Ogden Rogers has g his services as coach.

We have lost five of our eight games, and because of rain, We shall have to play several games a Week for the remainder of the season. At the present time We are in second place for the league championship, having Won two and lost one of our league games. Coach Hovey has developed a fine field- ing team, but it has failed to come through When runs Were needed. The pitching staff of Captain Walter McKenna, Ed Schroeder, and Ben Naclerio has pitched some very fine games. Manager Charles H. Wilkinson, Jr. ar- ranged one of the hardest schedules that a Rutherford team has ever played, in- cluding Dickinson High, last year's state champions, Textile High, P. S. A. L. Champions of Manhattan, Blair, and N. Y. M. Academy. 114 The hardest part of our schedule re- mains to be played, but We are confident that the boys will again Win the N. N. J. I. L. Championship.

For the first time in the history of this school, permis- sion to represent R. H. S. was granted a hockey team by an oral vote of the Ath- letic Association. The Executive Council made an appro- priation for uniforms, and the services of Mr. Halsey Dykeman and Mr. M. S. An- the hands of the strong Montclair High team in a game played at the Montclair rink on Verona Lake. Horace Schwerin turned in a fine record as goalie, having only thirteen points scored against him in seven games. Captain Arthur Hill- house led the offense.

Hockey and soccer are loads of fun, but Basketball is perfect. The Seniors maintained their record and Won the interclass champion- ship. They beat the Juniors 16-10 ina close and exciting' game. Both teams played so Well that it makes it all the more difficult to name those who did perhaps exceptionally well. Lee Sitarsky CSeniorJ certainly Was a Whirlwind forward and there was no stopping her, although Ales- sandroni CJunior Guardj did nobly. The two centers, Farley CSeniorJ and De Smedt QJuniorj, both did beautifully. The Sophs surprised everyone by the super- human effort they put forth against the Seniors. The class of '31 finally asserted herself and Won, but not until after some pretty tense moments in which the honor of the Senior team hung in the balance. Those Sophs must have been eating Grape- nuts for breakfast. Ellis and Telschow fforwardsj and Van Auken fjump cen- ter! deserve honorable mention for the Sophs. The Seniors thank Porter for some timely baskets. The Sub-Sophs did very Well considering their limited experi- ence, and What's more, they are good sports. The coaches, all of whomi did good Work, are: I. Finch, CSeniorsJ, R. Bryan Uuniorsj, E. Jaeger and R. Koehler fSophs.J, and C. Dehn and B. Steiner CSub-Sophs.J l l 116 HOCKEY An unusually large number of girls went out for hockey this year, thus enab- ling all three classes to have both first and second teams. The season started with a bang when the Juniors unexpectedly de- feated the Seniors. The Seniors rallied, however, and won the third and final game, thereby earning their letters. Of course, no one fights for letters! The Seniors wish to say that they at- tribute their success to their skill Cac- quired after long practice! and the fact that brains will tell! Nevertheless, they wish the Juniors all the luck in the world in their 1931 battle with the present Sophs. Those youngsters in green show some style already. I dislike to mention stars as it is mostly a matter of opinion anyway,+so if .you really want to know who the good players are, go to the hockey games yourself next season, or ask Lee Sitarsky, Peg Farley, or Ros Bryan. I know they'd be sure to mention M. Kalmbacher, M. De Smedt, Tubby Allen, Bee Steiner, Peggy Ross, and of course, Margaret Ellis. The coaches Morrell, Huber, and Bur- leigh, all deserve credit for the Senior, Soph, and Junior teams respectively. HCYXCFQQJGEI 117 GIRLS' BASEBALL We hear a great deal about boys' base- ball and very little concerning girls' base- ball. Let me remind anyone who is ac- customed to belittle the feminine ability to pitch or bat, that at least one team has recognized the skill of a girl pitcher. I point With pride to Miss Jackie Mitchell, Who pitched against the Yanks in their spring practice game. No doubt other leagues Will soon be adopting this Worthy precedent. Probably Rutherford High is harboring at this very moment future sensations of this sport, trained by Miss Pettengill in the interclass games. GIRLS' Girls' Soccer is a comparatively new sport at R. H. S., this being the first year that games have been played. Last year due to the weather the game of Captain ball had to be substituted for it. Perhaps this is the reason Why there Were not enough girls out to have both a first and a second team. The classes managed to play the games this year, although the sun did not fully cooperate-the field looked much as the Although the teams have not yet been decided upon as this goes to press, We can predict very accurately what the results will be. The Seniors will be victorious, as usual, if they can get together enough girls to have a team. The Juniors will put up a stiff battle, and the Sophomores will play better than Sophomores should play. The games are scheduled for the first Week in June, and the usual round will be played: Senior - Juniorg Senior - Sopho- more, Junior - Sophomore. SOCCER World must have looked When Noah finally docked. There was plenty of slipping and sliding with the Seniors splashing on to victory and letters. The Seniors were fortunate in having such veterans as Huber, Morrel, Sitarsky, Jaeger, and Dobert. De Smedt, Shaterian, Steiner, and Allen were a big help to the Juniors. Miss Park coached all three teams, as the season was very short. u :'1C0p'blu 118 . GIRLS' TENNIS 3 There has been some discussion as to whether the advantages of having a Girls' Varsity Tennis Team measure up to the disadvantages. The weather usual- ly makes both practice and tournaments a problem. The team of necessity, includes a small number of girls, the expense is comparatively great, and the trips take considerable time. Nevertheless, girls' varsity tennis continues to prosper. The team is always made up of experi- enced players, and the 1931 group is no exception. It includes: June Clark, play- ing first singles 3 Edith Morrell Ccap-V tainj, second singles, Elinor Constan- tinides and Carol Alessandroni, doubles, s Edna Steuber, substitute, Kay Baillie, Manager. With the exception of Carol Alessan- droni the personnel of the team is the same as that of last year. June Clark and Edith Morrell were also members of the 1929 team. Therefore, we may confidently look forward to a long and successful sea- son. We say long, because this year the girls are resolved to play ten matches. This schedule means a long season. This year for the first time the team is sporting blue blazers adorned with at- tractive insignias, so that, as well as see- ing good tennis technique, the spectators are being enlightened as to the very latest in tennis ensembles. The schedule to date is as follows: May 13-Ridgewood at Ridgewood. May 14-Hackensack at Hackensack. May 19--Milburn at Milburn. May 25-Hackensack at Rutherford. May 26-Asbury at Rutherford. May -Ridgewood at Rutherford. June June 119 Milburn at Rutherford. 6-Asbury at Asbury Park.
