Hew Jersey I FOREWDHD Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were furl'd In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the World. There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law. —TENNYSON'S LOCKSLEY HALL' ? WE DEDICATE We, the people of the United Notions, determined to save suc- ceeding generations from the scourge of war which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind.'' These are twenty-eight simple words and yet are so overwhelming in their significance to every man, woman and child. They are the beginning statement in the Preamble to the United Nations Charter, a document which is destined to take its position among the greatest writings ever created. Our future world depends upon the effectiveness with which the laws of this Constitution are executed. One representative stated, This is not a Utopian dream. We believe it to be a legitimate aspiration. To our generation it is much more- it is our future and cannot be destroyed. We passed through a period of war, and after the last shot was fired and the dust was cleared away, we knew we were ready to be adults. We sacrificed; we saw bitter tears shed about us; we saw the gold stars and the hopelessly maimed cripples; we experienced the results of fear, distrust, and hatred. Though our homes and lives were safe through four long years, we knew war. We loathed it and despised it; we prayed with thankfulness and rejoiced when it was over. However, our road ahead was not clear. It was overgrown with weeds of suspicion ond unrest and like a bright light in a wicked world, the United Nations became our solution. With its wonderfully noble pur- pose of international peace, security, and cooperation, it must not fail. The peoples of a war-tired world have placed their hopes for a peaceful future in the United Nations Organization. As today's youth it is our duty to understand the plans and ideals of the United Nations, and as tomorrow’s adults it is our obligation to sup- port and work for the goal of everlasting peace. It is to this purpose that we dedicate our Quovadis of 1947. ADMINISTRATION DR. RICHARD S. POLLACK Supervising Principal TO THE CLASS OF '47- Soon now the bell that calls you daily to your classes will, for you, be silent. You approach that point in life's journey where you must pause and consider the road ahead. You have several choices. You may elect to continue in formal education, enter train- ing in some special field or undertake at once to enter industry. Whatever your choice, you will find that the ease with which you travel will largely depend on the habits and patterns of life which you have already formed. I can wish you nothing better than courage, that you may face life's tasks bravely; wisdom, that you may solve life's problems wisely; and a tender conscience, that you may hear the voice of God easily. R. S. POLLACK, SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL ADMINISTRATION TO THE GRADUATES: Con you put yourself in the other fellow’s place? This is sympathy. Can you see the good and beautiful in peoole and things around you? This is appreciation. Can you do what is right for you? This is character. May you, the members of the Class of 1947, grow through the years in sympathy, appreciation and character. C. V. LANCE PRINCIPAL FACULTY VINCENT J.

A continuous round of fun and excitement it seemed to pass so very quickly, and through it all, our adviser, Miss Krausz, was there to help and guide us. Left without an ad- viser after our Junior year, we had small hopes of being successful Seniors with our treasury at an extremely low ebb. Miss Krausz unselfishly undertook the almost impossible task of pulling us out of our financial grave. She imbued us with fresh enthusiasm and new ideas to make a success of all our enterprises. Thank You is a very simple way of expressing our deep gratitude and appreciation for all you have done, Miss Krausz, but it means more than we can ever hope to express. 9 STANDING: Richard M.

The Class was soon organized with Miss Bohm as our adviser. At last, Sophomores—willing and ready to look down upon the Freshmen. The business of reor- ganizing was soon accomplished. The big event of the year was the Soph Hop. Summer vacation came and went, and we were now the Junior Class of Sayreville High School. The Junior Prom was held amid reams of gaily colored crepe paper and bright balloons. Joy unconfined! We are Seniors. The year's activ- ities started off with a bang. We chose a new adviser, Miss Krausz, since Miss Bohm had left the faculty. A nominating committee selected candi- dates and elections were held. Our first gala affair was the Senior Bazaar. It was held in the auditorium, which was divided into halves—one part served as a dance floor, and the other provided a group of concessions including string-pulling, fortune-telling, dart throwing, penny pitching, and weight guessing. Fired with enthusiasm we set out to make our Sen- ior Play a huge success. Cast and committees were chosen and rehearsals began. January 10 and I I were unforgettable as the nights of the actual presentation of our production, A Case of Springtime. Our Senior year has been a fitting close to four years of study and fun.

It will be our responsibility to contribute to this peace by working to the best of our ability in our chosen fields and by obtaining the maximum amount of education possible; for by preparing ourselves fully, we can best contribute our part, no matter how small, to world understanding. The study habits we have formed in high school, the attitudes we have developed, the clear thinking, and clean sportsmanship we have faith- fully tried to follow are not to be forgotten. These are the qualities we will attempt to develop further in order to make ourselves true citizens of the world. 13 Sincerely, HAROLD BARTZ THE CLASS HE NINETEEN FDHTY SEVEN EDWIN ALBIN 24 WILLIAM STREET SAYREVILLE Bambino Science, Photography, Chess, Football, Baseball (Mana- ger), Basketball (Manager) Sports and photography, not to mention girls, com- pose Bambino's main interests.

As the second un- beaten eleven in the history of Sayreville High the squad sailed through a nine-game schedule without a blot on its record. Though the 1941 team was undefeated, it was held to a score- less tie by Matawan. If history repeats itself, the Blue and Gray clad warriors should have their next undefeated season in 1951, though we hope for and expect it sooner. Coach Ab- batiello deserves much credit for producing such a fine team. His five-year record as head of the Bomber Coaching Department now stands at 26 victories, 9 defeats, and 3 ties. The current edition of the Bombers was such a great team-working outfit that it would be hard to single out any individual stars. The concrete forward wall had only one touch- down scored through it all season. In the back- field Coach Abbatiello had seven good backs who could really carry the ball. When the op- position had the Bombers down as a passing team, the backs would tear their line to shreds with running plays. The team's offense was paced by the fine pitching arm of Bob Mytnick, who com- pleted 59 out of 89 passes for a percentage of .663. Nine of his heaves went for touch- downs. In the running department Jim Calla- han, Captain Walt Olender, Ed Szot, and Chubby Derent all did yeoman work. Calla- han, an ex-G.I., was the team's leading line smasher, but was mostly effective in backing up the line of defense. Walt Olender, the team captain and leading scorer, was the speed merchant of the squad, while Szot, who should really hit his stride next year, and Derent, an- other ex-G.I., took turns in smashing opponents’ FIRST ROW: Meirose, Semasko, Nicewicz, Marcinczyk.

The two guards, Paul Janocha and Walter Strach, were defensive wizards and were always breaking up plays in the oppo- nents' backfield. At the tackle positions vet- eran Ed Homan played his usual fine game, and Stan Wlodarczyk, manager for 3 years, turned out to be the team's most improved player. Johnny Wojcik and Frank Mytnick were a pair of the finest ends in this section of the state. These two lads not only played fine defensive ball, but were always offensive threats with their pass-catching ability. As reward for their fine record the Bombers were crowned Central Jersey Group FOOTBALL SCHEDULE SAYREVILLE OPPONENT 20 St. James (Red Bank) . 0 6 Metuchen .................. 0 13 Alumni .................... 7 26 Keyport 6 13 Matawan ................... 0 14 St. Peter's (New Brunswick) ............. 7 30 Holy Trinity (Westfield) 0 12 Highland Park ........... 7 19 Freehold .................. 0 I Champions.

The honor of being placed on the All-County Team was awarded to two of the first-string men, Mytnick and Janocha. Janocha and Januszewski made the Group I All-State Team. 41 Robert Mytnick rhe Bombers inaugurated their 1946-1947 basketball season on December 16 by losing to Hoffman, 33 to 29. On December 20 Sayreville defeated the Alumni, 47 to 25. In the next two contests the Cardinals trounced the Bombers, 45 to 18, and the Owls de- feated the Kane quintet, 50 to 31. Our team enjoyed two succes- sive victories by downing Jamesburg, 42 to 27, and Woodbridge, 60 to 35. The Blue and Gray traveled to Metuchen on January 17, where they were turned back by the Bulldogs, 3 I to 26. In soundly trouncing St. James’ cagers of Red Bank, 71 to 32: the team set the new school scoring record, erasing the old one of 60 points. Bob Mytnick established a new individual scoring mark of 39 points, surpassing the old one of 25 points held by Boyler. The next pair were defeats, one by Matawan, the other by St. Mary's of South Amboy, 39 to 27. On January 31 the Kanemen buried St. James, 68 +o 32. Our former defeat by Matawan was avenged on February 4, when Sayreville won by a score of 46 to 30. In the second game with St. James, sharp-shooting Bob Mytnick shat- tered a county record of 36 points by scoring 39 counters.

This year's squad including eight senior players, should chalk up some top rate records to add to the sports history of S.H.S. Leading the roster is Frank Zebrowski who was last year’s batting champ with an average of .479 for the 46 season. Chief pitching main- stays for the Bombers are Wojcik, Meirose, Rappleyea, and Glinsky while Frank Mytnick BASEBA LL and Chudkowski complete the smoothly operat- ing battery. Jastrebski at first, Meirose and Nicewicz alter- nating at second, Marcinczyk at short, and Bob Mytnick and Derent, contenders for third base slot, form the well-manned infield. The outfield posts are held down by Makwinski in left, Wos in center, and Bielak in right field. Mr. Abbatiello is coach and Mr. Kane is assistant coach. BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 1 ...

CHEERLEADERS The six-year-old Sayreville High School Cheerleading Squad is a very popular organi- zation. The squad of nine girls cheers at the football and basketball games and does a fine job of leading the student body in supporting the team. Since it is the tradition of the cheerleaders to have a different uniform each year, the girls this year chose a fitted bodice and flared skirt of corduroy with a peter-pan collar and cap sleeves. They raised money by having dances and selling S. H. S. pins. The squad practices two days a week in the gymnasium under the direction of Miss Marie Farrell, adviser of the club. At these meetings they practice established cheers and originate new ones. They lead these cheers at all athletic events and pep rallies. The club is open to all students interested. At- tendance at the meetings is compulsory dur- ing the ten-week practice period. During this time the members of the squad teach the con- testants the words and motions to the cheers. When the practice time is completed, the new squad is chosen by several members of the faculty. This year's cheerleaders have added some mod- ern cheers, which are very popular with the students. 44 TO PROMOTE SOCIAL PROGRESS ND BETTER STANDARDS OF LIFE. —PREAMBLE OF UNITED NATIONS CHARTER 45 Dorothy Ziemski, Joan Anderson, Eleanor Kurczeski, Irene Malkiewicz, Adeline Kuzdzal, Ann Soberanski, LaVerne Mc- Cutcheon, Joan Cislo, Natalie Davis, Christine Moskal, Elaine Albert. T W I R L E R S Nimble fingers plus rapidly whirling ba- tons plus a group of pretty girls in their snappy uniforms add up to an attractive and colorful picture of the Sayreville High School Twirlers. A welcome addition to many school activities, they head the band at all football games and represent our school in local and also out of town parades. Twirling at the Spring Concert is the greatest responsibility and finest achieve- ment of each twirler. The Captain of the sauad is in charge of com- posing the routines. These routines, consisting of many trick twirls, are very elaborate. The ability of the Twirlers in manipulating their ba- tons has won much praise, both locally and in inter-scholastic competition. Any girl is eligible to join the club, and twirlers are then chosen by a system of elimination. Becoming Drum Majorette is the dream of every member. The Drum Majorette must have poise, grace, personality, and the ability to be a leader. She has full responsibility in directing the Band and Twirlers in every public perform- ance. Mr. Christopher Cornell is the adviser of the club. DRUM MAJORETTE, Ruth Prusaczyk 46 The band, one of the oldest activities of the school, has taken a leading part in pro- moting school spirit. The splendid accomplish- ments are the result of careful training and many hours of practice. Students displaying talent In music are encour- aged to join the band; to this end many in- struments are supplied by the Board of Educa- tion for members to use during their high school careers. Football season always assumes additional lus- ter when the blue and gray clad band plays school songs and marches at the games. The colorful flag-raising and the half-time drills present an exciting and stirring picture to all the fans. Assemblies are always enriched with music by the band, be the program a pep rally before a game or a special holiday program featuring seasonal melodies. The highlight of all band activities is the annual Spring Concert. Since the early days of the high school the band has expanded its reper- toire until it is capable of presenting classical selections along with lighter music and marches. Mr. Christopher Cornell of the faculty is director of the band. JUNIOR BAND—SEATED: Dolores Andersen, Mary Tal- low, Suzette Travisano.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of Sayreville High School was organized to give the students an opportunity for actual experience in adminis- trative work. The purposes are: to promote school spirit, to direct the general activities of the school, to improve school conditions, and to work dili- gently for the best general welfare of the stu- dent body. Representatives are elected from homerooms, while class presidents and past representatives automatically become honorary members and stay on the council for the remainder of their stay in high school. In past years the Student Council sponsored many social activities. Minstrels, dances, lunch- period dancing programs are some of the ac- complishments of council members as an or- ganized group. The present council has recently organized sev- eral new committees, the main ones of which are the Student Patrol Committee and the Welfare Committee. The Student Patrol has members stationed at various places throughout the corridors during lunch periods to insure quiet and order while classes are in session. The Panel Discussions at New Jersey College for Women have been a leading event on the Student Council roster. The New Jersey Asso- ciation of High School Councils annually holds a conference to let council members from schools all over the state exchange opinions and suggestions. Our council sends delegates to participate in these yearly conferences. The co-advisers are Mr. Lance and Mrs. Marra.

CDMMERCIAL1TES The Commercialite Club, formerly named the Junior Business Training Club, was organ- ized with the purpose of providing the commer- cial students with greater knowledge in the field of business. The club serves well in advis- ing and instructing the members in the various duties of office workers. Membership is open to any student interested in business training with its numerous problems pertaining to budgeting, banking, postal regulations, and general office procedures. Several College Preparatory stu- dents who are curious about junior business problems have become members of the club. All types of office work are considered, but typing, stenography, and filing predominate. After demonstrations in the operating of many business machines are given, the students are permitted to practice. Miss Grace Kreiger, the adviser, instructs the group in office etiquette. As an extra club activity two trips have been planned, one to New York and the other to Philadelphia. They will combine business and pleasure in including visits to industrial organi- zations, attendance at some theatrical perform- ance, and dinner in a popular hotel restaurant. These annual excursions are the climax of the year's activities. 49 OFFICERS: Elsie Holthausen, Edna Budney, Jane Dema- rest, Beatrice Prasnal. AIR NAVIGATION The Air Navigation Club, a small group of boys who are interested in Aviation, is un- der the direction of Miss Margaret Walsh. Membership is limited in order to give each stu- dent the opportunity to receive the necessary personal instructions. The club was organized to provide motivation for the study of mathematics and air naviga- tion. The knowledge obtained in these subjects will be valuable in many ways, in the classroom and the future world of business. The club is a complement to the boys' studies of algebra, practical math, plane and solid geometry. Those interested in airplane mechan- ics, engineering, test piloting or commercial aviation find this club a great asset to the ca- reers they have planned for the future. The dub studies such varied topics as bearings, posi- tion by radio bearings, findings, headings, track and ground speeds, drift angles and magnetic bearings. The boys work on these problems dur- ing their meetings and try to develop greater skill in the mathematical field. Besides working on problems, they discuss the practical use of problems. Although the club is small, regular parliament- ary procedure is followed. They meet only dur- ing activity periods, but are able to accom- plish a great deal due to the small size of the group. The members enjoy this work because it gives them an opportunity to apply their knowledge of mathematics to work in everyday life. They learn to realize how important a sound under- standing of this material will aid them in ac- quiring better and more interesting positions.

RABID CLUB The Radio Club is composed of fifteen boys seriously interested in the fundamentals of radio. Membership is restricted, since individual attention is an essential part of club activity. The chief purpose of the Radio Club is to arouse among the boys an active interest in radio and its related fields. The boys use hand- books to familiarize them with the theory and operation of radio. Some few have advanced to the practice stage and are able to perform experiments and to make minor repairs on radio parts. The ultimate aim of these youthful radio technicians is an amateur license. In addition to study and practice, each meeting provides a demonstration and lecture by the ad- viser, Mr. Wnukowski of the science department. By this means the boys become acquainted with a variety of subjects allied to radio. Richer backgrounds, a more thorough understanding of the field, and knowledge of important terms and processes are thus developed. One of the topics the boys discussed and found interesting was static electricity. The occupational and avocational possibilities of the Radio Club are numerous. Several of the boys are planning careers in electrical engi- neering, radio repair service, commercial radio, radio technology, or television. Their interest is naturally very high, and they find the club ex- tremely helpful In supplementing their science and math courses. Others who like radio as a hobby enjoy the club activities because they are provided with more skill and knowledge to en- joy their hobby.

A few days later two sets of galleys come back; one, to proof read and correct errors; the other, to cut apart the various stories, which are then pasted on the dummy sheets. Spaces for headlines are counted out and then the work of composing the headlines begins. When this is completed, the dummies are ready to be returned to the press. A final stone proof or proof reading is required and, about two days later, the familiar black and white sheets are distributed to the students. The history of Echo-Lites dates back to 1939, when the students decided they needed and wanted a school paper. The staffs were organ- ized and by the end of the first year they knew why journalists' hair turns gray at an early age. The paper has usually enjoyed better than 100% support and for a number of years has won awards in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The paper is published five times a year for the purpose of striving to create unity and school spirit. It is an important part of our school and should be supported by all. The advisers of the Echo-Lites Staffs are Miss Carmelita Ludtt, editorial, and Mrs. Bea- trice Sperber, business. 52 DRAMATIC CLUH Nothing less than Shakespeare is the goal of the Dramatic Club. As future Barry- mores of the theater they plan to get their training early in life. At present, however, the group is content to perform short skits and pantomimes to suit the occasion. The small size of this club gives the members the advantage of planning and offering these presentations more frequently. They have a wonderful time acting out these little parts and watching each other going through the different dialogue and motions. The aim of the Dramatic Club is to train its members in good speech, poise, and stage pres- ence. The group is taught to follow stage direc- tions, to enunciate clearly, to enjoy a relaxed feeling on the stage, and to overcome awk- wardness and self-consciousness. The members barn to interpret emotions and actions through facial expressions and hand movements. They plan a trip to New York in the spring, where they expect to see a Broadway produc- tion. By viewing the play thev will notice and improve on what they have learned. The club's adviser is Mrs. Shirley Feld- man. Sally Henry, Julia Marowsky, Alice Newton, Joan Kaczma- rek, Emma Unglert, Frances Hartman. Theresa Festner, Hedwig Zakr- zewski, Mrs. Feldman (Advis- er), Irene Sosnowitz, Eleanor Malkewicz, Dorothy Nebus, James Newton.

NATIUNAC HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society was started to stimulate scholarship in the secondary schools of the country and to place secondary education on a higher level. Local chapters propagate the general aim of the society: to make good citizenship in high schools a matter of distinction. Membership in the National Honor Society is awarded on the basis of leadership, service, scholarship and character. These are considered the fundamental virtues most useful to society and therefore most worthy of encouragement. The Sayreville Chapter, begun with the first graduating class in 1942, has a total member- ship of 35. Our Honor Society members are elected by the faculty from the Honor Group, the upper fifth of the senior class. One of the means of instilling the aims and ideals of the society into the new members and the school at large is the impressive ceremony of initiation. The induction ceremony includes readings rep- resenting the four ideals of the Honor Society, the lighting of each member's candle from the center candle, an address by the principal, and the recitation of the pledge. The pledge is: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of this society to which I have been elected, striv- ing in every way by word and deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school and of my life. 54 ART CLUB As there ore no drawing classes given in Sayreville High School, those who wish to improve their ability or awaken their dormant talent have an opportuni+y to do so in the Art Club. The group, which is small, is selected among students who display ability in pencil sketching. The purpose of the organization is to develop dexterity in handling a pencil. All the members work faithfully at their various projects to achieve this objective. Sally Yanas, treasurer last year, is now presi- dent. The meetings are informal and seldom follow parliamentary procedure. The only other officer is Arthur Cannon, who holds the official title of janitor. Freedom of expression and interpretation is stressed at the meetings. The members choose their own subjects and may start discussions on the various types of art. Although in preceding years all forms of fine art were given equal emphasis, this year the members decided to devote their time to free- hand drawing, cartooning, caricaturing. A study of different types of lettering was made by a few boys, while Sally showed an interest in sketching animals. Flowers, buildings, and many other objects were reproduced by the enthusiastic students. All true art lovers, the group has planned a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to observe famous paintings. The adviser of the club is Mr. Leonard Willinger. Sally Yanas, Shirley Reifh, Lovena Kemnetz, Arthur Cannon, Norma McLean, Walter Kosmowski, Frances Wallace, Edward Domfnik. 55 SUB DEB Good grooming is a vital part in every girl's daily program, and the members of the fair sex at Sayreville High are no exceptions. The ladies of S. H. S., who have always been especially conscious of their personal appear- ance, possess much interest in the fine arts of good grooming. The Sub Deb Club was originated to provide for the girls the opportunity to learn proper eti- quette and good grooming. The grace and as- surance which result from social ease and poise are essential to personal success. It is with this idea that the girls approach all Sub Deb ac- tivities. The program chairman, Rose Kuntne, plans the list of events for the club. Some typical activi- ties conducted during meeting periods are mov- ies and readings or discussions of articles in FRONT ROW: Bernice Merwin, Lenore Rutledge, Dolores Anderson, Florence Fritz, Rose Kuntne, Ros (Adviser). current periodical literature and books. It is the responsibility of each club member to assume the chairmanship of one meeting. The general +opic for investigation is assigned by the pro- gram chairman, but the leader of the day has full control of the materia! and method she de- sires to use. She has access to reference works of all kinds and tries to combine in her program valuable hints and interesting presentation. When the girls studied hair styles, they enjoyed demonstrations in the arrangement and care of the hair. They have also considered during the year care of the nails, make-up, clothing (in- cluding appropriate types to suit specific occa- sions, changes in styles, and color combinations) and table manners. Miss Ethel M. Downing is adviser of the club. Mary Tatlow, Dorothy Heck. SECOND ROW: Bryzowski, Genevieve Grabowski, Miss Downing 56 Josephine Kosiek, Loretta Kuczynski, Regina Novak, Janet Smiglesky, Laverne Anderson, Phyllis Fuelner, Eileen Creed, Dolores Zyskowski, Joan Boehm, Mrs. Rubin, Adviser; Pauline Galebides, Dorothy Prysak. HOME MAKERS ELUH To stimulate interest in home-making, the Home Makers Club was organized under the supervision of Mrs. Rubin. The main objec- tive of this club is to introduce to the students new ideas and modern methods concerning home economics. This helps prepare the mem- bers to be future housewives. Any girl interested in becoming an ideal home-maker is qualified for membership. During each session of the club, numerous prob- lems pertaining to home-making are discussed. The subjects stressed are cooking, sewing, and a variety of duties connected with home life. The girls particularly test their skill in prepar- ing favorite dishes. The adviser, Mrs. Rubin, frequently lectures on etiquette, especially table manners. In these discussions she also emphasizes correct procedures in the setting of and wait- ing on tables. Sewing is another important activity of the Home Makers Club. The girls make many beau- tiful clothes, including such practical garments as skirts, blouses, jackets, and pajamas. The youthful seamstresses are proud of their crea- tions, which have become the envy of their fel- low students. Many of the girls display very good taste in their selections of appropriate styles and colors. Domesticity runs rampant at the club meetings, and several girls have seriously considered using their present experiences in future careers. Such careers as dietetics, designing, and merchandis- ing are possible fields which require training in home arts. 57 LIBRARY CLUB SEATED: Irene Dominick, Ann Miller, Nancy Kifner, Dolores Lis, Dolores Michalik, Theresa Strek, Elaine Albert. STANDING: Gaynl McLean, Eleanor Bonus, Evelyn Sugrue, Georgeanne Taylor, Mrs. Counsman (Adviser). The Library Club was organized to as- sist Mrs. Counsman, the librarian, and to pro- vide training tor the girls in the proper care and placement of the library possessions. The various duties of the twelve members include keeping the shelves in order, getting new books ready, posting and shelving the books, and cat- alogue filing. The distribution of the familiar overdue slips is also the work of these girls. A novel idea was introduced during Book Week when the club issued a small, mimeographed Library newspaper. It reviewed several new books, gave general Book Week information, and presented the opinions of several students on favorite library books. The club is small and, therefore, parliamentary procedure is not followed. There are no officers; duties are quite equally divided. The girls work during their free time and activity periods. The club arranges many displays and exhibits that deal with the different types of books and try to create a greater student interest in reading. Future plans include a trip to New York to visit the Public Library. 58 GLEE ELLA The Glee Club, which originated soon after the band, has always been an important part of the Music Department. Due to the lack of masculine interest in vocal expression the club has remained an all-girl group. The high spot of Glee Club activities is the annual Spring Concert. The many months of preparation, the final rehearsals, and at last the gala night arrives. The girls attired in their lovely gowns, rise in a body and enthrall the audience with the presentation of their songs. The choristers frequently sing during assembly programs. The newest development in the Glee Club or- ganization has provided the girls with opportu- nity to learn music along with their Glee Club work. It was difficult to learn songs with no knowledge of the musical notes, so now they receive more intensive instruction in regular classes and receive grades. The songs ore thus learned more easily and quickly. These classes consist largely of freshmen and sophomores. Each girl's voice is individually tested by the director, who then assigns each one to the part for which her voice is best suited. Various types of music are sung by the Glee Club. The Christmas season brings forth the voices in the ever-beloved carols. Spring comes and we hear them singing the glorious songs of the Eastertide, and finally we enjoy the light airy tunes at the concert. The musical repertoire of +he Glee Club includes many beautiful melo- dies that are delightful. Mr. Cornell directs the group, while Mrs. Marra is accompanist. Irene Sosnowitz, Ruth Nugent, Helen Czernilcowski, Eleanor Dominik, Gloria Siedlecki, Jeanne Kitchen, Jane Demarest, Arlene Wescot, Mary Jane Schied, Florence Mesh, Dolores Bernas, Dolores Roskowski, Florence Malanowski, Mary Kraw- sek, Laura Lynch, Suzette Marmanello, Irene Standowski, Dorothy Ziemski, Joyce Gilpin, Sally Henry, Marian Kosmowski, Eleanor Malkiewicz, Theresa Festner, Sophie Ballon, Mildred Wistuba, Marian Przybylowski, Rose Brzozowski, Marie Baumann, Florence Rybicki, Sylvia Rondesko, Dolores Gaspich, Ann Soberanski, Edna Budney, Dolores Lis, Genevieve Grabowski, Ann Nicewicz, Sally Yanas, Natalie Davis, Joan Smiglesky, Joan Anderson, Clara Gostkowski, Dorothy Ne- bus, Hedwig Zakrzewski, Carole Davis, Adeline Kuzdzal, Elaine Gominger, Dorothy Zablocki, Julia Jaworowski, Leona Gwizdak, Jean Urbanski, Madeline Wescott, Claire Marmon, Irene Plewa, Mary Straczvnski.

Any sen- ior who was interested could join the Yearbook group. About thirty-five students answered the call and decided on which staff they preferred or so of friendly but serious argument we de- cided to dedicate our publication to Youth and World Peace —a timely and lofty chal- lenge. Our next problem was much more materialistic: to work: Editorial, Business, or Art. After work- ing several weeks on competitive assignments the staff heads were chosen. The first important work on the agenda was to determine the theme of our book. After a week finances. The business staff set out to solicit advertising and found their experiences in this campaign interesting and lucrative. Around this time the class was besieged with questionnaires —the staff asked for all sorts of information 60 THE “47 UUOVADIS (likes, dislikes, future plans, nicknames, etc.) so the editorial assistants could write a biography of each senior. The great day came when the seniors had their oictures taken. Amid the excitement of such events as selecting the style and color of the cover and the arrival of Quovadis stationery, the glossies began to arrive from the photographers and we saw our- selves as others see us. At lost another milestone was reached when senior write-ups were completed—a happy one for the editorial staff, since they had finished one major assignment; an unhappy one for the business staff .since they now had to type all this copy. It seemed our misery still persisted,, this time in the nature of Club and Sports write-ups. For days elusive advisers were pursued for inter- views. The student inquisitors succeeded again! Finally all the pictures were assembled for iden- tification and this job qualified each staff mem- ber for employment in the Bureau of Missing Persons. Our Art Editor submitted his drawings for the divider sheets; our circulation department launched a spirited campaign to sell books; our business staff applied finishing touches to the ad section; our editorial staff frantically ed- ited and proofread typed copy. The first two weeks of February were horrible days of rush and more rush, for the unlucky thirteenth of the month was the deadline. We had to make it!—And we did. Then we found ourselves with nothing to do but lean back, sigh blissfully, and wait for our Year- book to arrive. It was hard work but it was also fun, and now our hope is that the Quovadis of 1947 will take its place in the archives of Sayreville's yearbooks and will be a worthy re- membrance of our class.
