SAYREVILLf FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY 1050 WASHINGTON RD. PARLIN, N. J, 08859 � uM We Present MU Published by the Senior Class SAYREVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. SAYREVILLE. NEW JERSEY FOREWORD Throughout the centuries of history, man's vigil and his quest have been to be free. For this the best and bravest of earth have fought and died. To em- body human liberty in workable government, Amer- ica was born. Shall we keep that faith? Man must be free to use his own powers in his own way. Free to think, to speak, to worship. Free to plan his own life. Free to use his own initiative. Free to dare in his own adventure. HERBERT HOOVER in The Road to Freedom DEDICATION We, the class of 1 948, dedicate our Year- book, Quovadis, to freedom. In so dedicating our annual, we are restating the ideal of all Americans from the first loyal patriots in the history of our land to the citizens of today. Freedom, I iberty, independence—these three words with their common meaning can- not help but arouse in men's hearts a feeling of love, pride, patriotism, and are to us, Amer- icans, synonymous with our United States. The history of America is replete with deeds of personal valor and heroic episodes in the lives of courageous pioneers and great leaders who gave generously that all men might be free. The foundations of our democ- racy are rooted deeply in the blood and sweat of our forefathers as they searched and fought for liberty. Who of us does not thrill with pride when we study Washington or Jefferson or Lincoln, all outstanding names in American history? We are inspired by the noble words and deeds of those great Americans who have gone before us—inspired to do things better and to fashion our lives accordingly, profiting by the lofty principles of all great men. And now as we, the graduates, fortified with careful training and preparation, go forth into our chosen fields, we are resolved to dedicate our thoughts and efforts to the preservation of freedom for all men. DR. RICHARD S. POLLACK Supervising Principal TO THE CLASS OF '48 The time now fast approaches when you, the men ana women of the post war Class of '48, will close the books on one phase of your lives. Your future activities, whether in higher education, in business or profession, will be substan- tially conditioned by what you have done thus far. From here you go forth to compete for happiness in a world of economic, political, and social tensions. You take with you the knowledge and the habits of thought and work that you have gained during the last twelve years. Your success will depend to a high degree upon what you do with what you have, '' he man with the best set of tools does not always perform the finest work. Both high purpose and unstinting efforts are essential. The finest statues are created with crude mallets and coarse chisels guided by lofty inspirations. It is my sincere wish that as you draw up the balance sheet with the profit and loss statement of your school experience, you will find thereon sound assets and a gen- erous surplus ; that you will perceive within yourselves the courage, wisdom and forthrightness to apply them to your greatest advantage; that you will be guided always in their application by the true Law of the Lord. 4 MR. CRAWFORD V. LANCE High School Principal TO THE CLASS OF '48 When John Masefield said, the days that make us happy make us wise, he may have meant that we gather strength from doing well those constructive things we know how to do. Your high school years have brought the keen contrast of sun and shadow, victory enhanced by defeat, bright mom- ents of success against a backdrop of the daily grind, the smile of friends in times of trouble shared, courage in spite of fear. Religious, home, and school experiences have combined to help you learn to take both good and bad with- steadfast spirit. Through this spirit, your knowledge of the art of living has grown and will continue to increase in the years to come. Graduation is but one more of many steps you have al- ready taken. It is an opening door to wider horizons and greater challenges. New friends await you, pleasures, sorrows, joys, defeats and victories. Though many shadows may darken the world ahead, remember that shadows only live because of light. So armed with strength, courage and friendship, may you meet life with zest. Keeping faith with those who have passed this way before and also with those to follow, may you feel with Masefield that, the days that make us happy make us wise. 5 VINCENT J.

BOARD OF EDUCATION OFFICERS PRESIDENT........Mrs. Helen Miklos VICE-PRESIDENT 10 DISTRICT CLERK Joseph T. McCarthy .... Paul Karbowski THE SENIOR CLASS 1 1 OUR CLASS OFFICERS OUR CLASS OFFICERS Donald Sica .........................President Richard Servis .................Vice-President Theresa Strek .......................Secretary Ann Soberanski ......................Treasurer FELLOW CLASSMATES, The time is near when we shall bid adieu to Sayreville High School. Too soon our four short years are over. We must now face a world that, three years after World War II ended, is still unsettled and torn by strife. We, the citizens of tomorrow, must endeavor to do our part toward the promotion of world peace and understanding among men, regardless of race or religion. The world looks to us as a means of aid. New blood is necessary to any organiza- tion. Policies must be changed or develop- ment will be mired in bigotry and hatred. We are the new blood. From our midst will come the planners and leaders of tomorrow's world. By sincere effort in our chosen fields of in- dustry or education, we can justify the faith placed in us. To walk blindly into the world is foolish; therefore, decide and plan extensively for the field you wish to enter, so that you can readily answer when the realistic world asks, 'Whither goest thou? Sincerely, DONALD SICA 12 HENRY ALBERT 21 1 Washington Road Sayreville Class Treasurer (Freshman), Vice-President (Sophomors), Science (Secretary), Radio (President), Air Navigation (Treasurer), Football, Student Council, Yearbook, Senior Play.

ELEANOR BONUS 97 MacArthur Avenue Sayreville Library, Dramatic, Commercial, Yearbook. Bunny wants to be a secretary and will be an effi- cient one, we know. Her future employer will be able to trust her with the secret of the atom bomb, so reticent is she. The confidential secretary, we feel sure. We nominate Eleanor as the most quiet girl in the senior class. 14 STANLEY BRYS Sayreville William Street Football, Basketball, Baseball, Science, Chef. Stan is interested in all sports, but basketball ranks highest. He dislikes homework and says he would rather listen to cowboy songs. Brys and Szot seem to be a regular partnership. Stan isn't exactly a woman hater either. Coaching is the career which holds the greatest appeal for him. 4 WALTER BUTKIEWICZ 365 Washington Road Sayreville Cheesy doesn't believe in spending more time than is absolutely necessary in school. He is one of the last to arrive and the first to leave. Cheesy's solution to the problem of homework assignments is, Skip it. Hunting and sports top his favorites list. Success and happi- ness to you, Walter. EDWIN CHUDKOWSKI 588 Main Street Sayreville Science, Football, Photography, Baseball, Student Council. Chud can easily be identified by his cheery face. He is always around when you need him and willing to help everyone. As Cappy in the Senior Play he proved he was an actor. Homework and Chem Class comprise his dislikes. His future plans are still uncertain. JOHN CIECKO 39 Hart Street Sayreville Science, Photography, Radio. If you didn't see Johnny, you wouldn't know he was there. He's about the quietest boy in the class. Checkers likes all sports, but it seems his favorite is basketball. In fact a controversy on basketball causes him to argue too. John is a student in the Industrial Arts curriculum. 15 Morgan HENRY CONSTANTINZAU Vineyard Avenue Science, Football, Art. Hey, gang, hop in! uttered in a soft pleasant tone is the cue to know that Henry's around with his car. Lunch periods find him exploring the side streets with a carload of friends. Clay modeling and drawing are his hobbies. Hank's questions in law class were certainly unusual. RICHARD CONSTANTINEAU Vineyard Avenue Morgan Chess, Football. Dick has the habit of staying home for uncertain reasons. Maybe the fact that he can answer all questions about hunting explains it. Forgetting locker combina- tions became a habit with Dick during his four years in high school. A future as an auto mechanic is his inten- tion. EILEEN CREED Merritt Avenue South Amboy Etiquette, Yearbook, Sub-deb, Homemakers, Commercial, Leaders. Eileen can always be seen keeping company with a hamburger and coke.

PHYLLIS FEULNER Washington Road President Park Handicraft, Student Council, Sub-deb, Yearbook, Com- mercial. Buy some candy? That's a familiar query echoed by Phyllis during basketball season.

PAULINE GALEBIDES Liberty Street Morgan Library, Sub-deb, Home Economics, Office Practice, Twirl- ing, Yearbook. Eating candy is one of Pauline's favorite pastimes.

No one could miss hearing Beery in the halls argu- ing with someone and always taking the negative side. Food, football, and girls are his favorites, according to his own estimation. Playing with the S. H. S. band has given Tony a good start in realizing his ambition in life, to become a musician.

Her one desire in life is to fly an airplane. JOAN KOZAK 2 MacArthur Avenue Sayreville Etiquette, Office Practice. Joanny is always full of fun.

We hope you go a long way in your career as a model. WALTER KWIATKOWSKI 31 Smith Street Sayreville Science, Chef, Photography, Baseball. Hunting season finds Shrimp's name heading the absentee sheet. He is the silent member of the Hungry Hill gang. Getting out of bed and to school in the morning presents Shrimp with a difficult problem. Fish- ing and trapping also occupy much of his time. The crystal ball sees Shrimp as game warden. 21 DONALD LASKO 25 Foch Avenue Sayreville Latin, Photo, Biology, Minstrel. Want to know anything about auto mechanics? Ask Chips.

IRENE MALKIEWICZ William Street Old Bridge Yearbook, Twirling, Sub-deb. Whether it was on the football field or a parade Irene was there in full spirit twirling her baton.

CHARLES NEUHAUSER 105 Main Street Sayreville Did you ask for a vanilla cone? Sounds like Buddy working in his father's store Junior year brought Charlie to S. H. S. from New York. Charlie also claims membership in the local chapter of Brooklyn Dodgers fans. His experience arguing in P. A. D. classes and quoting Shakespeare should be valuable when he gets to college. ALICE NEWTON 49 Dane Street Sayreville Newspaper, Language, Minstrel, Yearbook, Dramatics. I'll have mine with catsup and onions. That's Alice at it again at the hamburger havens.

Ambition—the Navy or college. 29 EDWARD SZOT 35 Smith Street Sayreville Science, Chef, Football. The mystery of his December absence has been solved—deer hunting. Although Ed enjoys going to Old Bridge, he dislikes waiting for buses. There's probably one solution—buy a car, Ed, and in addition to eliminat- ing the waiting you'll have specimen No. 1 for your fu- ture in automobile mechanics. LEONARD TiSCHLER 3 Harrison Street Parlin Football, Baseball, Chef, Junior Class (Vice-President). Whenever you see Johnny, you know that Len is at hand.

Polish-hops, especially the Dawn Patrol, are his specialty. We are sure Lefty's ambition to become a band leader will become a reality. FRANK WROBEL 12 Pulaski Avenue Sayreville Navigation, Radio. Although Whitey likes to hunt and fish and work with model airplanes, he finds time to be an ardent spectator at basketball games. One of his disl kes is homework. After graduation Frank would like to atten.l a vocational school where he plans to prepare for a career in mechanics or printing, HENRY ZALEWSKI 21 Smith Street Sayreville Science, Band, Football. Everyone knows how much Hank likes football. During gridiron season he practically eats and sleeps his favorite sport in addition to playing it. Our '47 squad knew he was out there fighting to win every Saturday afternoon. He has two ambitions: to remodel Hungry Hill and to play with the Sayreville Vets. ANNA MARIE ZINK 28 Hart Street Sayreville Language, Dramatic, Echo-Lites, Yearbook, Senior Play (Student Assistant), Minstrel. Anna Marie is one of the cleverest students in the senior class. She finds plenty of time, however, to cruise around the highways with Evelyn in Evie's car. Going to college where she will major in teaching comprises her future plans. 31 DOLORES ZYSKOWSKI 32 Perrine Avenue South Amboy Eliqj2tt2, Sub-deb, Homsmokers (Treasurer), Yearbook, Office Practics. We enjoy Dolores and her good sense of humor. Her spare time is spent at the Candy Kitchen in Perth Amboy, where she enjoys listening to Eddy Howard records. Is that the only reason, Dolores? Her aim in life is to be an interior decorator. WILLIAM AUSTIN 306 Main Street South Amboy When Bill transferred from St. Mary's to Sayreville, he upset the apple cart in yearbook staff. The senior section was set up, photos arranged and then—Austin arrived, the beginning of the alphabet too. So we changed the alphabet. Bill's pet peeve is traffic jams since they interfere with his favorite sport, motorcycling. VALEDICTORY Four years, we know, can swiftly pass; not long ago it seems we were the freshmen. Remember how lost we felt that day early in Sep- tember, when, well prepared, we began our four-year stay? Would it ever end? we asked. The possibility that we, too, would someday be Seniors amazed us. And now we pause, this final year, to reminisce. . . . Time has enveloped many, many days of pleasant memories; we shall often recall the Soph Hop and Senior Play, assemblies, the thrill of wearing our class rings for the first time, Senior Ball, class dances, the undefeated season, which was ours to celebrate. The horrors of mid-years and finals, the failure list, a red U . The boys and girls who laughed, played, worried, danced, studied with us are part of us, a wonderful part. The men and women who guided us, inspired us, are part of us, too. Yes, it ends and much too soon. For no longer will we be the girls and boys who spent much of their time listening to juke-box music, but now rather, men and women courageously greeting the future. Whether it be in the field of industry, or in the path of higher educa- tion, each of us will follow his own vocation. At Sayreville High the picture is unchanged — directly behind us is another class which will pass into senior year. Our successors will be entrusted with the staff of leadership. It is to them that we, the class of '48, wish luck and success, for as seniors, theirs will be the duty to maintain the standards, continue the traditions, and preserve the ideals of our Alma Mater. 32 OUR CLASSES Elaine Albert, Joan Anderson, Richard Bailey, Edward Batko, Marie Baumann, Leon Bielak, Richard Bisaha, Frank Bochenski, Janet Bruno, Edna Budny, Chester Cholewa, Carole Davis, Jane Demarest, Roy Dill, Louis Dominik, Edward Fallon, Wilbur Fiedler, Irene Gavron, James Gemmell, Stanley Golembieski, James Grant, Catherine Greene, Mary Hahn, Dorothy Heck, Kenneth Hoffman, Eleanor Holsworth, Marie Holsworth, Elsie Holthausen, Joan Kaczmarek, George Keenan, Lovena Kemnetz, Peter Kosh, Josephine Kosiek, Edward Krawczyk, Frank Kuczynski, Loretta Kuczynski, Jean Kuhn, Rose Kuntne, Laura Lynch, Robert Malik, Alice Marcinczyk, Florence Markulic, Elmer McCracken, Bernice Merwin, Ann Miller, Frank Mytnick, Ann Nicewicz, Daniel Nowicki, Dorothy Osmanski, Stella Paprota, Robert Peterson, Dorothy Prysak, Florence Przybylko, Shirley Reith, Dorothy Roginski, Frank Rojewski, Virginia Schwarzenberg, Fred Semasko, Francis Slover, Georganne Taylor, Robert Thompson, James Tilquist, Emma Unglert, Donald Unkel, Edna Unkel, Doris Volkert, Dorothy Wisniewski, Raymond Witkowski, Anna Zarembo, Dorothy Ziemski, Lois Zulauf.

Each student is required to complete two years of work in each of the following fields: mathematics, languages, and laboratory science. He must also complete a third year of work in one of these fields. Languages offered are Latin and French; mathematics courses include first and second year algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry; laboratory sciences are biology, physics, and chemistry. In ninth grade the college preparatory student, as well as every other student, is given courses in music and speech in addition to the regular academic subjects. The girls also take home economics in their freshman year. Drafting is recommended for the student who plans to attend an engineering college. Typing and first year stenog- raphy, electives in the eleventh and twelfth grades, are very helpful to a student in college courses and later in work. It is wise for the college pre- paratory pupil to investigate early in his high school career entrance require- ments of the colleges which interest him with a view to preparing himself adequately for admission. 37 COMMERCIAL The commercial curriculum prepares pupils for actual office jobs in industry. It is strongly vocational. Pupils who do not complete stenography I or II and the full office practice program will not graduate commercial but will transfer to the general curriculum. In the senior year pupils in the commercial curriculum participate in a program in which they spend fifteen weeks in practice work in industrial plants in the area. Here they work with- out pay under close supervision and cooperation between school and plant authorities. These fifteen weeks are divided into three parts, five weeks each. This gives each pupil experience in three different jobs. The required business subjects extend through all four years beginning with junior business training in the ninth grade, commercial geography, typing, and stenography or bookkeeping in the tenth and eleventh, and the specialized subjects of office practice, business problems, commercial law and salesmanship in the twelfth. As part of the office practice course the girls do filing and miscel- laneous secretarial jobs for teachers. They learn to operate duplicators, dictaphone, and calculators. 38 GENERAL The general curriculum is basically exploratory in the first and some- what in the second year. Pupils can discover what they wish to do during the first year of the general curriculum and transfer thereafter to one of the others if they wish. The general curriculum is heavily weighted with electives. As a matter of fact, students must elect at least seven credits during the last three years. They may prepare for special individually chosen colleges in the general curriculum, provided they have minimum ability. Most general students take mathematics and physical science, with courses of study planned particularly for them. They are able to get enough commercial subjects to qualify for typists and other beginning commercial jobs. The general curriculum is concerned with a broad general culture and also entrance to specific occupations and colleges. To select geometry a student must have passed first year algebra. Algebra I can be taken in the second year if a C average is obtained in the first year of practical math or if such average is obtained in the eighth grade arithmetic. 39 INDUSTRIAL ARTS The industrial arts curriculum is designed for students primarily interested in mechanical arts. It has been organized in three levels; juniors and seniors form one level, sophomores a second, and freshmen a third. Courses of study including assigned work on which pupils should be tested are being prepared. The courses are being expanded to include work in leather and household maintenance. The program is primarily industrial arts but has a strong vocational aspect. Boys should be able to develop sufficient skill to go to work in skill trades on apprenticeship basis. Physical, common, and natural sciences and mathematics are offered for special courses of study in this curriculum. Like every other student in high school the industrial arts major is required to study certain academic subjects. These are English for four years, United States history for two years, general science for one year, and physical education and health for four years. The required vocational sub- jects include four years of drafting and a combination for four years of wood- work and metal work in shops equipped for practical training. 40 ATHLETICS FOOTBALL FIRST: Casey, Nugent, Przybylko, Powell, Samuel, Bailey, Chudkowski, Vasquez, Lytkowski, SECOND: Unkel, Noble, Mosakowski, Brys, Tischler, Batko, Schmidt, Janicker, Marowski, REAR: Coach Abbatiello, B.

The Sayreville High School Bombers, the undefeated and untied Central Jersey Group 1 Champions in 1946, got off to a poor start, losing their first five games. They closed out the season in better form, however, with a tie and two wins. They lost a thriller to St. James, Red Bank, 7-6. The shore eleven came from be- hind in the last quarter to win, as halfback Keelen plunged through the Sayreville line for the touchdown and then circled his left end for the game-winning extra point. The Highland Park Owls, capitalizing on a blocked kick and an early score, nipped the Blue and Gray 13-0 for the Bombers7 second loss. A quick Sayreville kick was blocked and a Park man fell on the ball behind the goal lines for the score. In the first two minutes of play, a 60 yard touchdown drive gave the Parkites a lead that they never lost. The Bombers were next drubbed by the Metuchen Bulldogs, 24-6. Long drives accounted for two of the Metuchen scores, and the other two were completed by the aerial route. Walt Swiderski, Bomber half- back, saved the Sayreville array from a shutout by plunging over from the three to climax a 70 yard drive. Another heartbreaker was the Key- port game, which the Bombers lost 7-6. A pass for the extra point was high and the Sayreville boys came away with their fourth straight loss. The Matawan High grid squad with Mr. Bull Weber accounting for three touchdowns routed the Bombers 25-0. The shore county eleven were too powerful and their state candidate, Weber, sewed the game up for them. The Sayreville squad next came up against a favored St. Peter's 1 1 on Memor- 42 i a I Field. The Bombers appeared revamped in the game as they battled the Petreans down to the wire to a 6-6 tie. In the next two games the Bombers really came to life. They walloped an out- classed Closter array 40-0. Al Draeger scored two touchdowns for the Bombers in this game and three more in the season finale as the Bombers dumped a highly favored Freehold eleven, 19-6. Draeger's five touchdowns gave him the scoring lead- ership for the team and placed him tenth in scoring in the county. The team wound up the season with a record of 2 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tie for a percentage of .286. Len Tischler, right tackle, and Ed Batko, right end, were all-county selections on the third team picked by the Perth Amboy Evening News. The New Brunswick Home News picked an all-county team and placed Al Draeger, halfback, on their third squad. Captain Ed Samuel, Ed Szot, Walt Swiderski, Ed Chudkowski, Hank Zaleski, Len Tischler, Art Bailey, Tony Gaspich, and Stan Brys will be lost to the team through graduation.

The 1947-48 Sayreville High basket- ball team started the season slowly, beating the Alumni in their opener and then losing to Keyport and Scotch Plains by narrow mar- gins. The boys, under Coach Irv Milenko, then caught fire and rolled up 13 straight triumphs, lone wins over New Brunswick Vo- first team to fall by the wayside in the streak, and also the last. The Bombers then dropped tilts to a re- juvenated St. Peter's five and a powerful Dunellen High team. The Blue and Gray squad closed out the season by dropping a close 35-31 tilt to the Woodbridge Barrons. cational, Woodbridge, and St. Peter's and twin victories over Jamesburg, Metuchen, Matawan, Perth Amboy Vocational, and Hightstown. Ironically, Hightstown was the Despite their slump at the season's end, the Bombers wound up the season with a 14-6 record for a .700 percentage. 44 CHEERLEADERS: Florence Markulic, Mildred Wistuba, Dolores Michalik, ‘'Fight 'em, Sayreville, Fight! Janet Smiglesky, Irene Kurczeski, Marie Holsworth, Dolores Miklos, Dorothy Schmitt. CHEERLEADERS FIGHT! TEAM! FIGHT!—LETS GO, BOMBERS! — WE WANT A TOUCH- DOWN! Yes, sir, they are all familiar. They have become a part of each and every student. Who is responsible for it? Why, the cheerleaders are, of course! They are at every basketball and football game doing a fine job, always leading the student body in supporting the team. The seven year old squad is one of the most popular activities in the school. Any girl interested in cheerleading may try out for the squad. There is usually a large number of candidates and the competition is always keen. Each candidate must go through a practice period during which she is taught the words and the motions of the cheers by the squad members. After com- pleting this training, candidates are rated by several members of the faculty. These girls receiving the highest ratings auto- matically become cheerleaders and fill the vacancies left by the girls who have graduated. The cheerleading squad meets regu- larly in the gym to practice and to make up new cheers. These meetings are supervised by Miss Farrell, their adviser. This year the cheerleaders retained the same style dress as they had last year. It is made up in royal blue corduroy with a fitted bodice, grey peter pan collar, and a flared skirt. The girls also wear grey sport jackets which they purchased from the money they earned through various kinds of activities. During football season the squad was composed of eight girls; however, to accom- modate better both the J. V. and Varsity basketball teams, it was divided into two groups for basketball season. The present members of the varsity squad are Irene Kurzeski, captain; Dorothy Schmitt, Do- lores Miklos, Marie Holsworth, and Flor- ence Markulic. The J. V. members are Mildred Wistuba, Janet Smiglesky, and Dolores Michalik. ; 45 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 16 St. Mary's (S.

The Student Council is a governmental organization whose aim is to extend to the student an opportunity for experience in administrative work. This organization has four definite purposes: to promote school spirit, to direct general activities of the school, to improve school conditions, and to strive for the best general welfare of the entire student body. To become a member of the council, a student must be elected by his homeroom. The length of office is one year; however, after serving this term, a member may still attend meetings in the capacity of an honorary member. Each year the four class presidents automatically become honorary members. Honorary members are not en- titled to vote. The Council, which meets once a week, has organized such committees as the wel- fare, student patrol, handbook and trans- portation committees. The welfare com- mittee directs general activities to benefit the students by showing films during lunch periods, and by arranging Youth Week elections. The student patrol maintains order throughout the building during the lunch hours. Each year the handbook com- mittee publishes a student handbook which contains data explaining every organiza- tion within the school. It strives also to acquaint the students with the social phases of high school life. The transportation com- mittee is responsible for providing student buses to away games. The Council is governed by a constitu- tion, headed by four officers and advised by Mr. Lance. Following meetings the representatives make reports to their homerooms and give the students an opportunity to make com- plaints or perhaps make suggestions for the betterment of the school. In this way the Council is always aware of the ideas of the individual students. Each year the Council attends a ses- sion of the State Legislature to observe gov- ernmental procedure. 48 HONOR GROUP FIRST ROW: Dolores Michalik, Theresa Strek, Eleanor Bonus, Nancy Kifner, Bernard Garbowski; SECOND ROW: Bernadine Czernikowskl, LaVerne McCutcheon, Ann Soberanski, Dolores Lis, Irene Dominik, Gaynl McLean, Dorothy Schmitt, Alfred Schmidt; STANDING: Anna Marie Zink, Edward Pytel, Henry Albert, Donald Sica. NOT PHOTOGRAPHED: Evelyn Sugrue. HONOR It is the ambition of every Senior to belong to the National Honor Society. Membership in this organization is based on four requirements which are termed cardinal qualities worthy of encour- agement in all schools. These are charac- ter, scholarship, leadership, and service. Each year the students who are in the Honor Group by virtue of their scholastic standing are rated on the other three qualities by the teachers who have had contact with them. According to the regulations of the National Honor Society no more than ten per cent of the class may be elected to the Honor Society. One of the means of illustrating the aims and ideals of the society to the new members and the school at large is the im- GROUPS pressive ceremony of initiation. The induc- tion ceremony includes readings represent- ing the four ideals of the Honor Society and an address by the principal. The candidates are seated on the stage in a semi-circle at a table on which lie candles for each member and five in individual holders, the center one the symbol of the Sayreville Chapter and the other four representing scholarship, character, leadership, and service. The stu- dents elected, take the oath of membership administered by the principal, and then light their individual candles from the cen- ter taper. Members of the National Honor So- ciety are entitled to wear the key which is the recognized insignia of all members. HONOR SOCIETY FIRST ROW: Dorothy Schmitt, Theresa Strek, Henry Albert, Ann Soberanski, Dolores Lis; SECOND ROW: Berna- dine Czernikowski, Donald Sica, Irene Dominik. COMMERCIALITES Another club, the purpose of which is to acquaint its members with the business world and some of the many responsibilities demanded of its workers, is the group known as the Commercialites. Although the name of the club may imply a limited membership, anyone who wishes to join may do so. There is no single duty which the members perform. Instead the club period includes a wide range of activity from the operation of time-saving adding and calcu- lating machines to the study of business etiquette. During the regular weekly meeting period one is likely to see the members using such full keyboard machines as the Burroughs, and such rotary calculating ma- chines as the Monroe and Marchant. Du- plicating on ditto and mimeograph ma- chines is also taught. Miss Kreiger, the adviser, demonstrates the use of the ma- chines and permits the students to practice using them correctly and efficiently. The Commercialites7 program is not confined to operating machines. The mem- bers are given lectures on problems faced by the modern office worker. Probable solu- tions and worthwhile suggestions to over- come these difficulties are submitted. Every possible opportunity is given to the students for free discussion. Each student may ac- tively participate in the club's discussion program. Another topic studied is etiquette for the secretary of today. The girls are in- structed about proper office dress. They are trained on how to answer an employer's dictation call, how to approach the desk, and how to use appropriate posture while taking shorthand notes. Attention is given to producing satisfactory transcriptions. The position of office materials in the desk is another topic of importance. The Commercialites also have an out- side social program. They have taken a trip to New York and judging from the amount of pleasure the girls had, it was a success. Among the places visited were the Hotel Taft and the ice show, both thorough- ly enjoyed by the members.

Their gleaming blue and white satin uniforms and the deft maneuvering of their batons catch immediate attention. The captain of the squad is responsible for setting up clever routines for the girls to practice and perfect for their public per- formances. Elaborate and tricky twirls are just what the twirlers like best of all, and we who sit on the sidelines can truthfully say that these complicated routines are always done with the greatest precision. Twirling has become a very popular activity here. Each year finds many new recruits diligently practicing to become full-fledged twirlers. In fact this year sev- eral eighth grade girls have provided them- selves with twirl-sticks and are practicing the elementary movements of baton wield- ing. By the time they become high school students, competition will certainly have become very acute. Every girl is eligible for membership on the squad providing she exhibits skill in performance. Along the same line every twirler is eligible to become Drum Majorette as long as she has top twirling ability. Being Drum Majorette is beyond a doubt every twirler's ambition. In addition to football games and parades the twirlers perform in the Annual Spring Concert presented by the band and glee club. It seems they practice during the winter season with just one goal in mind— concert. Their motto for that evening is, Not one baton shall be dropped ; and even though batons are flung spinning high into the air, they always come safely back to the hand of their twirler. Audiences at S. H. S. aoplaud the girls generously in approval of their skill. Mr. Cornell is Adviser.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB There is actually no need to describe the values resultant from membership in the Home Economics Club. In every girl's life there is the goal, unexpressed perhaps, but present nevertheless, to manage her own home successfully. She visualizes her- self in the role of versatile homemaker who designs, sews, plans, cooks, serves. Under the direction of Mrs. Shawver, home economics teacher, the club was organized to stimulate interest in home- making. The members are advised on new procedures and modern developments and styles in the field of home economics. Any girl interested in developing or increas- ing her homemaking skills is qualified to become a member. Since freshman girls are scheduled in home economics classes js a requirement of their first year in high school, many students have developed an active interest in homemaking early in their lives and wish to supplement their regular class work with extra-curricular activities. The club program this year has sepa- rated duties into two divisions; during the first half the girls concentrate on sewing, and in the second half they concern them- selves with the culinary arts. In sewing class they make blouses, aprons, pajamas, skirts, jackets, dressmaker bathing suits, and dresses. The girls select their own pat- terns and materials. Interest runs so high that not infrequently the sewers take their projects home where they finish work. In cooking sessions the girls study diets, plan balanced meals, prepare var- ious types of meals, and cook all sorts of foods. They particularly enjoy cooking since they feast after they have worked. When it is cookie baking time the student body craves the friendship of the home- makers and the delicious cookies they dis- tribute. Discussions during meeting periods include etiquette, table manners, correct procedures in the setting of and waiting on tables. Analyses and solutions of problems pertaining to homemaking are included in their discussions. Domesticity is the key word at the club meetings. Several girls have seriously considered using their pres- ent experiences in future careers. Such vocations as dietetics, designing, and mer- chandising are possible fields which require training in home arts.

BIOLOGY CLUB Musca domestica, lumbricus terrestris. These and other Latin terms can be heard upon entering the biology club room. This activity has a total membership of twenty- six students with only one requirement for participation—a genuine interest in the study of biology. Miss Irene Hudak advises the club's activities with help from Eleanor Holsworth, who has been chosen president, Josephine Kosiek, treasurer, and Dorothy Ziemski, who assumes the secretarial duties. Weather permitting, the group goes on field trips or just out walking to observe mother nature. The latter activity arouses a great deal of animation among the stu- dent membership, for what can be more interesting than delving into the supposedly secret work of nature. To these students it is no secret. They have studied the func- tions of plant life and after careful investi- gation are able to explain just what is occurring beneath the leaves and petals. In going out on these walks the group does not set forth emptyhanded. You will find the more ambitious members towing all equipment that can possibly be used in getting a better vantage point. Micro- scopes, fishing nets, and other miscellan- eous objects are taken along. On warmer days advantage is taken of cool springs where the students freshen up. Sometimes, however, the weather plays havoc on this industrious group, but this is not cause for discouragement. They take refuge in Room 26, well-known to the biology student as a haven of white mice. Here interesting discussions on appropriate subjects are held. Many times they match wits to find the best speller by having a contest using tongue twisting words per- taining to the study of plant and animal life. One excursion has been taken by the club and don't think they didn't enjoy every minute of it. After the bus trip to New York City, they ambled their way to the museum where they witnessed many strange sights. When it came time to leave, Miss Hudak was compelled to count the group. Judging from the great interest shown in the museum, the chance that one had stayed behind could not be overlooked. There is never a dull moment in this club's program. AIR NAVIGATION CLUB Can you solve this problem? A ship leaves its port at 8 A. M. on a course of 140 degrees at a speed of 25 knots. A plane with an air speed leaves its field at 9 A. M. to intercept the ship. As- suming there is no wind, find the track of the plane and the point of interception. Also find, to the nearest hundredth of an hour, the time the plane requires to reach that point. Or this one? A plane is ordered to intercept a ship steaming on a course of 60 degrees from the plane base. The ship is making 25 knots and the plane has an air speed of 1 80 knots. Assuming there is no wind, find the heading of the plane and the point of in- terception. Also find, to the nearest hun- dredth of an hour, the time required to reach that point. If you can't solve these problems, ask a boy from the Air Navigation Club to do them for you. This is a group of boys who really know how to blend work with pleas- ure. Under the supervision of their adviser, Miss Margaret Walsh, the members of the club endeavor to develop skill in solving problems in Air Navigation. This is truly an interesting field of work. The meetings are conducted by the officers, President, Albert Bartz; Vice-Pres- ident, Robert Thompson; and Secretary, Robert Greene. Parliamentary procedure is strictly followed during all the meetings. Because of the small number of boys in the club they are able to complete the problems in their special workbooks during the club period. This possibility has unlimited ad- vantages, allowing the boys greater inde- pendence in finding solutions. Their only tools are pencils and special protractors. Some of the members are planning careers in various phases of aviation, and in the club they are gaining preliminary training for their future vocations. Other boys joined the club to supplement their math work in regular school courses. They feel sure that the club is valuable in filling the need for specialized training required for today's highly technical age. SEATED: Andrew Marowski, Robert Green, Chester Cholewa, Albert Bartz, Richard Bailey, Robert Thompson, Walter Butkiewicz, Donald Lasko, Jack Pietruski, Paul Emmons. STAND- ING: Clement Wolanin, Karl Wilber, Norman Bailey, John Bloodgood, Miss Walsh (Adviser). 54 CRAFT CLUB In September when the club program was organized, one of the newcomers was the Craft Club. Many boys had previously expressed a desire for an activity providing them with the opportunity to do hand work. Mr. Henry Counsman of the industrial arts department assumed advisership of the club. Membership now totals thirty, includ- ing many freshmen, most of whom are col- lege prep students. The only requirement for membership is a genuine interest in working with one's hands; previous shop experience is not necessary. The boys have access to all tools and machinery in the wood shop, although work is not restricted to wood. In addition, metal, plastics, and leather are used. The metal projects, which the boys are working on, require much drilling, pounding, grinding, and polishing, but the tedious work is well worth the effort since very good looking coasters, ash trays, bracelets have resulted. The other materials are much easier to work with. So far the boys have made wal- lets, watch fobs, key cases using leather and plastic lace. The more imaginative members tool their initials and draw pic- tures on the faces of these objects. Wood, however, is the most widely used material, primarily because the meeting room is the wood shop where opportunities are almost unlimited. Beautiful smoking stands, what- nots, and pump lamps have been made by boys who have never before done anything of this nature. Many of these completed projects equal or surpass in value those of commercial manufacture. It goes without saying that the occu- pational possibilities of the Craft Club are numerous. Some of the boys who plan to become tinsmiths or carpenters are gaining practical experience. The avocational out- comes are also manifold; many worthwhile leisure hours can be passed making useful or ornamental objects out of metals, wood, and other materials. There is another value; namely, these boys will learn how to use tools skillfully, thus enabling them to make many minor repairs in their own homes which ordinarily would be costly if a repair man had to be called.

SUB DEB CLUB One of our most interesting and nec- essary clubs is the Sub-deb, under the direc- tion of Miss Ethel Downing. Twenty stu- dents are members of this club, the officers of which are Florence Malanowski, presi- dent, Sally Henry, vice-president, Leona Gwizdak, secretary, and Irene Plewa, treas- urer. There are no special qualifications for membership other than interest in the ac- tivity and a spirit of cooperation. How does this club operate? A pro- gram committee consisting of three mem- bers arranges the activities for each meeting. This plan makes possible a diver- sified entertainment schedule. The com- mittee prepares question and answer drills, practice activities and dancing and also furnishes opportunities to work with mater- ials brought in by members. Future plans afford the possibility of showing educa- tional films, but in the meantime pictures found in magazines are used as illustra- tions. Two objectives have been set by the Sub-deb group — to cultivate individual good grooming and to study in detail per- sonal etiquette. The title Good Grooming envelopes many channels of worthwhile material for study, such as the application of make-up and learning to choose the shades best suited to the individual. Various hair styles are introduced to each member. This gives her an idea of the type which best highlights her features. Extensive instruction is also given on proper hair care. Correct posturethow to stand, sit, and walk properly) is taught. The girls are given methods by which they can culti- vate good posture. Hand and eye care is also stressed. During their weekly meetings the members try to find correct coloring and clothes styling to fit each girl's personality. Different colors are tried on each member until the most flattering one is discovered. This practice helps build in the girls a strong clothes sense. All these lessons on good grooming and etiquette are necessary and important to all girls. They can be put to constant use everyday. 56 SEATED: Daniel Nowicki, Edward Narkiewicz, Hedwig Zakrzewski, Francis Slover, Patricia Diestal, Lois Albert, Ruth Miller. STANDING: Teddy Zebrowski, Donald Applegate, Marion Przybylowski, Joyce Gilpin, Florence Fritz, Miss Witczak (Adviser), Robert Holsworth, Edwin Rziecek, Ronald Gorczyca. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club is composed of stu- dents who are desirous of obtaining prac- tical experience in library work by assisting in the administration of the school library. This practice tends to create in the group a greater interest in the duties of a librarian and at the same time keeps the members in close contact with the systematic arrange- ment of books and magazines. The club period is given to instructing the students in the general management of a library. They are taught much that is necessary in order to qualify for a position as a librarian. The knowledge derived does not ter- minate at these meetings. Each member devotes one of his study hall periods each week to helping Miss Witczak, club adviser and librarian. During this time they put into practice all they have learned in the club periods. There are many diversified duties at- tached to the proper administration of a library. These include checking books in and out, filling out overdue slips, preparing newspapers and magazines for the shelves, filing old magazines, shelving books and cutting out from old magazines articles of distinctive value. Each month the library receives a large number of new books. This introduces the problem of marking them so that they may be made ready to be borrowed by the students. This task is a responsibility of the youthful library assistants. At the beginning of the school term the Freshman class was required to take a course and examination on the fundamen- tals of the library: cataloging, location of books and reference materials, periodicals, card catalogues and the correct methods applying to proper usage. The club mem- bers assisted Miss Witczak in handling the details of this short library course. Pupils coming into the library have often noticed some very interesting and educational displays that have brightened the room. These were planned and ar- ranged in the club period. This is where a member with artistic ability can exhibit his talent. 57 GREGGITES What is a pleasant personality? Is an attractive appearance necessary for a good secretary? How important is accuracy? Do employers insist upon punctuality? How can I become a good secretary? These are just a few of the questions discussed by the Greggites during their bi- monthly meetings. The 25 girls who belong to this commercial club have the common goal of becoming efficient secretaries some day. In their club activities they advance their vocational interest in shorthand and typing as well as enjoy varied social pro- grams to promote fellowship and good will among themselves. The Greggites are piloted by Mrs. Marra, adviser, Edna Budney, president, and Dorothy Ziemski, secretary and treas- urer. Each meeting combines business with pleasure. Skits pertaining to the business world are frequently presented with each member taking her turn participating. Some of these dramatic programs stress office etiquette, others illustrate qualities neces- sary to success in stenography, and some portray typical or unusual business scenes. Articles appearing in the Gregg Writer ' a shorthand magazine to which each mem- ber subscribes, are discussed during some meetings. Since everyone likes the chal- lenge of competition, the girls enjoy an occasional contest in the form of an old- fashioned spelling bee, modernized so that they spell words in shorthand characters. Of course, the champion wins a prize. To broaden their horizons the Greg- gites include travel in their program. They usually visit New York City where they divide their day between work and play. On one of their field trips this year they visited the News Building, the Chrysler Building, and the Empire State Building, and were permitted to observe secretaries at work in large offices. Seeing people performing the duties in the correct manner which the girls had studied in classroom and club illus- trated to them the importance of good secretarial training. Dinner at a large rest- aurant and a theater performance, this time High Button Shoes, finished a busy day. SEATED: Dorothy Roginski, Stella Paprota, Joan Kaczmarek, Florence Przybylko, Dorothy O .-nanski, Laura Lynch, Anna Zarembo, Rose Kuntne, Dorothy Prysak, Loretta Kuczynski.

LUB Do - re - mi - fa - sol - la - ti - do. Often during the week these notes can be heard ascending from Room 29 to the sky. Altos, sopranos, tenors—all join in scales and melodies. This year the members of the Glee Club have a special period set aside for developing musical talent. Anyone, boy or girl, who feels he has singing ability is urged to join. This melodious group is sincerely in- terested in singing. The members spend many hours practicing melodies which they eventually sing before an audience. They must be patient in accepting criticism and diligent in their efforts to perfect their songs. To them reward comes from the enjoyment they derive themselves and from the joy they give to others who like to hear them. The primary lesson given to the mem- bers is voice control. The scale is diligently practiced. At first simple songs are taught and then more difficult numbers are intro- duced. Not only do the girls learn the fine art of harmony and voice coherence, but they have also learned to read the musical notes and symbols, so essential to the proper rendition of a song. This study enables them to grasp the melody much faster and easier. The seasons usually determine the selections to be given by the group. For example, at Christmastime the joyous chords of Silent Night and other carols ring out; in spring the blithe melody of the Spring Song resounds its joy and gaiety. Spring also brings with it the annual concert which is the yearly culmination of each chorister's training. It is an exciting event awaited by everyone. To an audience of families and friends the girls dressed in evening gowns create a colorful picture as they sing their songs. Not only the classics but also some popular melodies are inter- preted. The band and glee club unite in presenting their musicale. This is not, however, the only time the glee club displays its talent. The songsters are occasionally heard by the student body at assembly programs. SEATED: Joan Steponiak, Marion Przybylowski, Joyce Gilpin, Sally Henry, Dolores Gaspich, Theresa Festner, Laura Lynch, Suzette Travisano.

Five times a year Room 23 is a true-to- life newspaper office with budding humor- ists, curious columnists, frantic reporters, and frenzied editors beating the deadline. When it is time to go to press, staff mem- bers furiously write stories, dash to Room 1 where the typewriters hum, check with the business manager to make certain fin- ances are all clear 7 count headlines, measure columns, read proof long after school so our high school population can keep up to the minute on local events. They work hard but they love it, and their great thrill comes when they watch their fellow- students enjoy reading their four-page journal. The staff and advisers of Echo-Lites should be proud because in the past year the paper has advanced from third to second place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest. Miss Carmelita Lucitt is editorial adviser; Mrs. Beatrice Sperber is business adviser; Theresa Strek is editor; assistant editors are Dolores Lis and Ann Miller; and business managers are Bernadine Czernikowski and LaVerne Mc- Cutcheon.

STANDING: Edwina Fleming, Ruth Lackey, Janet Dill, Arnold Bailey, Walter Kurczeski. The band, one of the oldest activit-es of the school, has taken a leading part in promoting school spirit. The splendid ac- complishments are the result of careful training and many hours of practice. Students displaying talent in music are encouraged to join the band; to this end many instruments are supplied by the Board of Education for members to use during their high school careers. With the development of a Junior Band opportunity for membership has been extended into the elementary school. Football season always assumes addi- tional luster 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 ex- panded its repertoire until it is capable of presenting classical selections along with lighter music and marches. The Adviser is Mr. Cornell.

JOURNALISM CLUB A slow, cautious opening of the door, a small head peeping in, and then tiptoeing to an inconspicuous corner of the room, a hand busily taking down notes characterize the presence of a junior reporter reviewing club activities. These cubs are members of the newly organized Journalism Club and someday hope to be on the Echo-Lites staff Ten students, freshmen and sopho- mores, belong to this activity with Mr Faulkner, as adviser. The club president is Peter Morrow, vice-president is James Newton, secretary is Joan Stepaniak, and treasurer is Catherine Gorman. Club meetings are held every Friday during which time the students work with materials pertaining to newspaper writing The members, all of whom are ambitious, look up information about why some types of stories are written and they discuss in- formally the reasons and ask questions on the subiect If stories written by the amateur jour- nalists prove satisfactory, they are pub- lished in a column in Echo-Lites. This setup is advantageous in that it gives the students a chance to understand the work of the newspaper and the problems involved in preparing an edition. The members work hand in hand with the Echo-Lites staff in helping to raise funds to finance our school puoi car.on One of the major projects of the club is interviewing various activities and writ- ing stories on the club program. At the meetings of the group the students do work for the Student Council in preparation of the Handbook. To special meetings of the Echo-Lites the Journalism Club is invited to participate in the important matters of the newspaper. The club has planned several field trips for this year. They have gone with the members of Echo-Lites to see the Perth Amboy Evening News go to press. A trip to New Brunswick to tour the Daily Home News Building is also on the club's agenda. Then, too, members of the Rutgers School of Journalism are scheduled to address the group. The training received by the members will be put to use when they become full- fledged members of the Echo-Lites staff. These junior newspaper men and women will know a great deal about the inside jobs on Echo-Lites and will go to the staff with practical experience.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB As you travel westward down the main corridor at S.H.S., you see a red light gleam- ing over a door. Stop! Do not enter! The photographers are at work in their dark room. The members are an ambitious group since they spend every moment they can spare during the day and frequently hours after school in addition to club periods working in their private little sanctuary. The officers elected by the twenty-five members are president, Andrew Lytkowski, treasurer, Marie Unkel, and secretary, Irene Pashytnuk. Mr. A. Armas Lensu is faculty adviser. During regular weekly meetings in club period the boys and girls discuss the problems of photography. They have stud- ied the regulation of temperature, control of development, and methods of obtaining good color tone. Club members give re- ports of private investigations they have made on the use of various kinds of cam- eras and film. An interesting report was one on the use of Kodachrome film for colored pictures; another was the press camera in taking action shots. Seeing mo- tion pictures and slides and hearing lectures on photography are also part of the agenda of meetings. However, the young photog- raphers are particularly enthusiastic about their practical experiences in the dark room. They work in small groups and print, develop, and color the pictures they have taken with their cameras. Many of them have learned to do contact printing and enlarging. To enable the members to pro- duce good pictures, the dark room has been equipped with enlargers, contact printer, trays, thermometers, ferrule type plates, developing tank, easels, and safety and warning lights. The only requirement for membership is an interest in photography. The boys and girls are developing skill in learning a tremendously interesting and popular hobby. In some cases it may even be the beginning of a career. In all situations the members are becoming familiar with pho- tography as a profession. Some of their oictures are included in our yearbook and some have been published in our news- paper. The Photography Club is a new organization at S.H.S. but is by no means an insignificant one. 63 SEATED: Joan Boehm, LaVerne McCutcheon, Dolores Lis, Irene Kurczeski, Dorothy Krosnoski, Eileen Creed.

OFFICE PRACTICE CLUB The Office Practice Club was organ- ized to provide the commercial students with greater knowledge in the business field. The membership is limited to senior commercial students only. All types of office work are practiced. Typing, filing, operating machines which include adding and calculating, and stenog- raphy are the major divisions of the working program to which the students apply their abilities. The club membership is divided into three groups, namely, the filing, secretarial, and machine groups. The filing duties in- volve the use of cards and their placement in various files according to the method in use, whether it be subject filing, numeric, geographic, or another filing system. Cer- tain specified rules must be observed to assure maximum efficiency in completing filing work. The secretarial section has to do with typing, the use of the ditto, mimeograph and other office machines, and completing working assignments given to them by members of the high school faculty. The girls are trained in such a manner so that they will develop greater typing skill with a high accuracy rating. It is impressed on the students that accuracy rather than speed is the primary objective in typing work. The machine group practices on the various adding and calculating machines available in the working room. Finger drills are shown to the girls so that they may cul- tivate greater speed in solving on the mach- ines addition, subtraction, and division problems. Dictation and transcription are the major divisions of stenography. Dictation is given at various rates of speed. In this way the girl is given a general idea of what to expect when she someday will be re- quired to take dictation from her employer. The main objective of this section is to in- crease the student's speed in applying her shorthand principles and in developing ac- curacy in transcribing her notes. A trip, which was taken in October to the Business Show in New York, helped the students get a clear picture of the modern facilities in the business world. Mrs. Beatrice Sperber, the adviser, also instructs the group in office etiquette. 64 ART CLUB Individual art instruction is given in Sayreville High School through the medium of the Art Club. Under the guidance of Mr. Leonard Willinger the club has progressed during its meeting periods. Since there is no formal class in art the club has the opportunity of providing stimulation and direction to those of us who have artistic ability. Consisting of thirteen members the group is unique in that there are no officers to supervise activities. The informal meet- ings are devoted to serious art work in the forms of drawing, painting, and modeling. This year the club has given a great deal of its time to sketching with charcoal, working with clay, and painting models. By constant practice and ambition some excellent projects have been turned out along these lines. One of the most enjoyable activities of the club has been making clay models of various newspaper cartoon characters. Not only is the work interesting and at times entertaining, but also profitable from the standpoint of the knowledge derived. An unlimited period of time and effort is being spent in making a Sayreville High School plaque. The plaque was first sketched in charcoal and is slowly being worked into a clay model. The design that is being used in performing this task is an original idea put forth by the students. The young artists hope that the plaque will be completed and donated to the high school display case before the end of the year. Canvas painting also captures a large amount of time allotted to working periods. The members evaluate each other's work and serve as critics of finished products. In this way the students get many ideas and learn how they can improve their projects. The group has made a trip to the Art Museum in Trenton to gain helpful hints in regard to their work. They saw many artistic masterpieces, including outdoor scenes, portraits, and still-life studies. Much interest was shown in the works of contemporary artists and their use of vivid imagination. It is stimulating to visit the Art Club and watch the varied interests grow from crude drawings to finished works.
