Lewis, Teachers, and Members of Somerville High School Who Are Serving in the United States Armed Forces 3 APPRECIATIO FOREWORD 'VVith a little confusion, a little haste, and a great deal of pleas- ure, we, the class of 1943, proudly present to the faculty and student body of Somerville High School this, the second edition of the Pio- neer. In retrospect these past four years seem swift and sunny hours- crisp hours of football games and Hallowe'en dances, gray hours of quizzes and exams, but always hours of warm companionship, intense cramming, idle chatter. And so it is with the hope of recalling to memory from time to time a few of these precious moments, that we offer our past fame, our past history, our Pioneer.

It is with this knowledge that we here pay tribute to our sometimes puzzled but always patient administrators of the past four years, Superintendent T. Latimer Brooks, Vice-Principal llflargaret E. VValler, and Principal VVilliam Lawrence. The latter, although new to our inner sanctum this year, has proved Z1 most sympathetic tanding shepherd.

Thus, the advisers of this year's Pioneer have done. To lVIr. John A. Bohner of the Nlathematics Department goes the credit as busi- ness manager and general supervisor of this year book. YVithout his assistance in plans and organization our task would have been impossible. Ours is not the first senior class to which lvlr. Bohner has given his untiring efforts. Of the twelve years that he has taught in Somerville High School, five have been spent as a Senior Dean. His perseverance, patience, and guidance, have been appreciated by all the students that have worked with him or come under his infiu- ence. Supervising the writing of the VVill and the Prophecy and the circulation of sub- scriptions has been the work of Bliss Alice Courain of the Science Department. lVIiss Courain, too, is a Senior Dean, who has been responsible for directing senior girls into the profession or business for which they are best suited, and for guiding college preparatory girls to the colleges which will best prepare them for their chosen profes- sion. Much of her time has been devoted to us and we are grateful to her for her wise counsel. Comma here-find a better word-rewrite it, please- have been the oft- repeated words of lVIiss Dorothy Chamberlain as she has labored over the written material for the year book as adviser of the Features Committee. This versatile member of the Foreign Language Department, not only teaches Spanish and assists in the work of the Girl Reserves, but also devotes her spare time, when the weather permits, to swinging a golf club. VVell qualified to take charge of the Senior write-ups because of her contacts with members of the class, Nliss Elaine Stradling has acted as adviser of this commit- tee. In addition to teaching English, Bliss Stradling has conducted a French Conver- sational Group this year. Because of her knowledge of French, Miss Stradling, who has now left S.H.S. to train for a position as assistant staff director with the Red Cross, hopes to be assigned to a French-speaking country. To all of these we express our thanks for the vast amount of work and help which they have given us in order to make our book a reality. 6 ei g PIO EER STAFF The 194.3 Pioneer , the second yearbook of Somerville High School, was pub- lished by a hard-working staff. These students have contributed much time and energy to the completion of the book hoping that it will serve as a pleasant reminder of our school days. The Pioneer was produced under the guidance of Jeanne Clarkson, editor-in- chief, Alice Duryea, assistant editor, and David WVhinfrey, business manager. These three labored long hours over plans, deciding upon arrangements, photography, business management and other details necessary to the production of such a book. In addition to this the editors consumed many hours endeavoring to corral articles from their literary classmates reluctant to give up their thoughts to pen and paper until the bitter enrlg while at the same time the business manager struggled to wrestle advertisements from local merchants, and to extract sums from seniors, willing but slow. If you have enjoyed reading the Feature Articles, it is because of the work of: Doris Opie, Anna Ferretti, VVallace Carlson, Jeanne Daniels, Gloria Van Arsdale, Louise Jasion, Nlarianne Teuhner, llflarion lbfoore, Roseann Corona and Virginia Hudon. Assisting them were Helen Troisi, Alice Kline, Leo Bartolanzo, Dorothy Beekman, Rosalind Scholten, IMargaret Cleary, and Anna Vescovi. If you, are delighted with your individual write up, you are indebted to: Sylvia Hanlon, Bernice Brettschneider, Mary Angelakos, Shirley Conover, Robert Ander- son, Elizabeth Bretz, and Claire Brooks. 'lf you think the business end of the publication has been well managed, you should congratulate: Willis Lebourveau, lliargaret Cleary, Ralph Condo, Evelyn Van der Veer, Ruth Loughlin, George Senecho and Yetta Zagoria. Typists were Huguette Guilbert, Jane Drake, Ethel Dow and Vivian Moore. 7 . FACULTY There is a tradition governing the way in which we should express our feelings toward the faculty. VVe should tell of their cooperation and aid in class and out, of their kindness and consideration toward us. Their wisdom, understanding, and forbearance must all be recalled in our writing. VVhat we really want to say would be omitted in a tradition-guided expression of our opinion of the faculty, for we want to talk about their humanness.

VVe want to make special mention of the members of our faculty who have left us during the school year in order to help in the winning of the war-ll-'lr. lylader, Miss Van Riper, and lliiss Stradling. VVe wish them all the luck in the world. These people are our faculty and to them we give our loyalty, affection, and respect. - i 9 THRE ODY I walk away slowly with abject start, My pallid hands tense 'cross a saddened heart. My mute lips trustingly off-er a prayer, My lofty head r'ises to the Celestial One there. The fog of memory lifts, and incidents there entwined Form like bright scintillas in my dark and worried mind, As from the lustrous skies o'erhead comes the answer I've yearned- Go forth and take with you all you have learned. I recall 1ny first deep love, A handsome, exalted knight. To admire him from afar On his football field, my delight. And a teacher too there was, A glib-tongued orator he VVho went his rounds with golden sounds And n-ever thought 'bout me. My capricious whims were lost In a vortex of emotion, Standing as we did those times United in a common devotion, Echoing forth our School Song Or praising Old Glory anew, Holding high the sanguine banner For which our forefathers fought too. I recall the vociferous fire drills, How wary our step on the stair! From our sanctum without we gazed zeal- ously As fanciful flames swept the air. And the stirring shrill of an air raid alarm Incited our minds to muse That somewhere this was stark reality- Oh, God, we must not lose! Out on the field our colors flashed, To and fro the gladiators moved As Fate 'kept vigil o'er the Ii-eld, And the might of the mighty was proved. How tl1e fingers of Thrill ran down our spines After our hard earned victories were won, What courage it took to walk, chin up, After verdicts of defeat had come. Do you recall those fateful days When we faced Olll' teachers with a grin? Their pens would cavort on a little report And we paid the wages of sin. Do you recall those fateful days When we ambled to school with delay? Every time we explained, 'twas the same old refrain, And we witnessed a pre-Judgment Day Do you recall those fateful days When we let our youth take its fling? Either detention it was or suspension it was And our reasoning meant not a thing. Do you recall those fateful days? Many years from now someone will ask anon As we answer them, Yes, they're the ones I loved best, Only then will We realize they're gone. I recall .all the times we smiled As Fridays we closed the school door, XVe kn-ew we'd see someone spec'1al then, That's what our weekends were for. Can we ever forget the corner drug store NVhere sunshine always managed to nod To her children as they poured out their troubles And drank from the nectar of the gods? NVe found fun as we 'built up our health, Though our muscles were swollen and sore, Somersaults, backward flips, left us dazed and dizzy, And yet we were ready for more. And in classrooms, in some dark cache Lie the smiles the world never saw Like beautiful pictures never painted, For artists must see what they draw. I recall all the times we cried WVhen our friends march forward to sign In the golden book of memorable names Which would lodge them for endless time. Our council, which reigned so discern- ingly, That led us to paths that were good, Our pap-er, which guided by providence With scholastic chastity stood Like a stone embodied in earth. Oh, our year was auspicious, for it was Filled to the brim with a life The presence of war had so changed. Inside us we overcame t'he strife And, triumphant, emerged a new being. Surely I have learned well, I pray Of cooperaiton, of perseverance, of integ- rity, my goal. Of contentment, of amusement, of pro- gressiveness, and love Of mind, of body, of soul. Let your criterion soar high! In your depths, this question be burned- What can you take forth with you? What have you learned?

Jacobsen, rolls on and on, gaining momentum and new, glory as it continues on the high school trail. With the election of class oflicers completed, the Junior Class turned its energy and talent to work, sponsoring the school year's first social function, the informal Hal- lowe'en Dance. It was presented in the beautifully decorated lower gymnasium with the soft strains of Frank Bourke's Orchestra filling the fall air. No sooner had the enthusiasm over the dance died away, than the Juniors were called upon to do their bit in the Scrap, Red Cross, and YVar Bond drives. The Class responded in typical fashion. The war had its effect on the class membership, for before the end of the first semester Harry Naisymth, James Sorace, Elias Galiani, and George XVharton had entered the armed services. Throughout the year the Class maintained its fine record for representation on the Honor Roll. A large number of Juniors also enrolled in the Victory Corps. Not to be outdone in the other activities, the Juniors also produced many ath- letes, a few of the outstanding ones were: g?3lT1elFtB?liSs3r ............ Football, YVrestling, and Track Dominick Sanchini .......... Track and YVrestling Lorenzo Rossi .... ...Football and Basketball Angelo Perantoni ..... .... F ootball and Track 40 I CLASS CF 1945 One group, long to be remembered by our departing graduates, is the Class of '.t5. lVe hope, at least, we shall not be forgotten till at some future time our school- mates delve into the past to recall fond memories of their days at S. H. S. , The Class of '45 began their high school years in 1941, and for their freshman year confined themselves to study, for they led in honors many times. Some, how- ever, started off well in athletics by earning a varsity letter their first year, which is not an easy accomplishment. This year, 1942-3, has also produced more letter winners from the Sophomore class. Some of our outstanding athletes are: Cornelius Hobbs and Roger Lyon, foot- ball players, Bud Beardsley and Robert Dougherty, wrestlers, Charles Rostron of the baseball team, and George Rloore, a wrestler and baseball player. Having postponed their dance from February fourteenth to May twenty-eighth, the sophomores are now planning to end all social functions of the year with a gala event in the lower gym. Besides giving this dance, the Class of '45 lists among its accomplishments for the year the inauguration of a new custom, that of having class dues to aid them financially in their three years at S. H. S. Thus the Class of '45 ends its first two years in S. H. S. and looks forward to two more years of success in athletics, scholarship, and social life. i 41 i l CLASS OF 1946 The Class of 1946 saw its first high school day on September 9, 1942, when 291 freshmen entered Somerville High School with confused and bewildered looks on their faces while trying to locate their homerooms and classes. After a few days in this confused state, they came to know the school better and began to get in the swing of things by taking top honors in the first marking period with I7.I6'k on the honor roll and 4.3798 on the high honor roll. Although they didn't always receive top honors, they did reach the total of 28.9'f'o on both honor rolls. They started to give the sophomores some competition when their class debaters, Florence Lonardi, Francis Tkacik, VValter Studdiford, and Seymour Smarook, made the sophomore team sweat in order to defeat them. Then came the intramural sports for which many eager freshmen turned out. lVIany of them became of much value to their teams. The majority of them liked basketball the bestg the most outstanding freshmen in that sport was Bill Manigault. They participated in all drives whole-heartedly and took the lead in both the Light-Bulb and Rubber drives. The Class of '46 is looking forward to another happy year in S. H. S. when again they will try to take the lead. 42 7 ACTIVITIES . ' 43 l- THE STUDENT COUNCIL The most inliuential student governing body of Somerville High School is the Student Council. lVIembers are elected by popular vote by the student body itself. The duties of the organization consist of planning the afternoon dances, plan- ning and presenting the assembly programs, preparing the handbook for the coming year, and solving the student problems that arise during the year. The ofiicers of the club are: President, Edward Ashton, Vice President, Gilbert Harding, and Secretary, lX-'Iargaret Cleary.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Nob1esse Oblige , meaning High Rank-High Ideals, is the motto of the National Honor Society, founded in 1903. Juniors and seniors are elected to the Honor Society on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character and service. The organization, supervised by Miss Elizabeth Hoadley, has as its officers: President, A. Vescovig Vice-President, J. Field, Secretary, lvl. Angelakosg Treasurer, A. Ferretti. lylexnbers include: L. Amerman, L. Bartolanzo, D. Beekman, NI. Cleary, B. Drinlcwater, K. Gaburo, D. Hall, G. Harding, VV. Lebourveau, R. Loughlin, RI. Pascale, R. Scholten, G. Senechko, Smolak, D. Sutphen, H. Troisi, G. Van Arsdale, E. Van der Veer, and R. Vester. 44 SENIOR LETTER WINNERS A Every year the students of S. H. S. are rewarded for their sportsmanship when they receive their letters as a lasting token. Gone are the days of interscholastic sports, but still many opportunities are open, and still those same good sports are out there, for letters are not the total gain of participation. There is that inward satisfac- tion of knowing that one has played the game well. SENIOR PLAY Out of the Frying Pan , the hilarious comedy directed by bliss Ruth H. Eslm ger, was presented by the Senior Class on November I9 and 20. The cast consisted of Paul Allen, Shirley Banks, VVallace Carlson, Jeanne Clarkson, Ralph Condo, Janet Hand, Gilbert Harding, VVillis Lebourveau, Ruth Loughlin, Franklin Strader, Gloria Van Arsdale, and David IVhinfrey. The business managers were lVIarian Moore and Anna Ferretti. Fred lvleyer, Lawrence Space, Jeanne Daniels and Evelyn Van der Veer handled the stage work. 45 DEBATIN G THE This year the Class of '44 was successful in winning the debating championship. Varsity debating for the first time was intramural, with only Bound Brook coming to debate with Somerville. The war emergency eliminated all possibility of competing for the state championship. The following students participated in debating this year: Seniors-Kenneth Gaburo, Seymour Margulies, and Anna Vescovig Sophomores-Adelaide YVishnow, llflary Pongracz, and Norbert Larkyg Freshmen-Ethel Skydell, and Seymour Sma- rook. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, under the supervision of Rlrs. lN'Iary Kaufman, has as its purposes: to serve the school by promoting cooperation between the assisting staff and the student body, to acquaint its members with interesting books, and to learn the fundamental library techniques, which include classification of books and recognition of publications. The otlieers are: President, llflarie Carnevaleg Vice-President, Donald Gansong Secretary, Clara Ciurleo. l 46 THE GIRL RESERVES In,the Girl Reserve Pledge there is a line that reads Ready to Serve. It is this motto that the members of the organization try to keep constantly in their minds during the year. They have devoted the major part of their time and effort to war work. lts forty-five members have completed assignments for both the Red Cross and the Bundles for America. Some of the girls have knitted army sweaters for the Red Cross while others have knitted mine-Sweeper mittens as a part of the Bundles for America project. They turned seam-stresses for a while, and made several chil- dren's dresses as well as many stuffed toys which were used at Christmas time to cheer many needy children. The children of Caney Creek community settlement in Kentucky were made happy by the several gifts which the Girl Reserves sent them during the holidays. VVhen the U.S.O. sent out a call for various kinds of scrap- books for the army and navy hospitals, the Girl Reserves once again assumed the role of benefactor. Several types of scrapbooks were made for this purpose. The Girl Reserve year, however, is never all work and no play. The Tradi- tional Candlelight Installation Service, in which every Girl Reserve takes part, occurs in the fall. This makes every girl a true member. Several parties, of which the llflay banquet leads in importance, are held during the year. It usually marks the end of the Girl Reserve year. TheNGirl Reserves are proud of being able to make a small contribution to the country's effort in this time of emergency and of having been considered worthy of membership in the Victory Corps. The advisers for this year were: Bliss Dorothy Chamberlain, Nlrs. Robert H-oneyman, lVIiss Elizabeth lviorris, and Miss VVinifred C. Roscoe. The oHicers for the year were: President, Jeanne Clarkson, Vice President, lklary Angelakosg Secretary, Elena Crisarig and Treasurer, Josephine Lonardi. 47 THE V LKYRIQE EWS The Valkyrie News, which originated in 1902 as The Valkyrie, is the oldest extra-curricular activity in Somerville High School. It became a newspaper in 1924, and has appeared fourteen times a year since that time. VVritten and sold by mem- bers drawn from all four classes, the school newspaper informs the study body of activities and events occurring in the school, provides journalistic and commercial training, and acts as a co-ordinating factor between the student, the administration, and the community. It sells for one dollar a year or ten cents a copy. The 194.2-43 senior news staff is composed of: Jean Field, Rosalind Scholten, Sylvia Hanlon, Nlarian llloore, Bernice Brettschneider, Betty Bretz, and Dorothy Beekman. Staff Artists are Roy Ruffa and XVilliam Craig. . Senior members of the business staff are: Yetta Zagoria, David Whinfrey, Evelyn Van der Veer, lklargaret Cleary, Willis Lebourveau, Marie Pascale, Alice Kline, Edward Ashton, and Gloria Van Arsdale. Faculty advisers are bliss H. G. Cranston and G. VV. Kadel. 48 SERVICE LEAGUE The Service League, organized by lVIrs. George Lyon in 1930, was established in an effort to eliminate the crowded conditions which prevailed in the corridors, the amount of noise of passing classes, and the disorder in the halls while assemblies were taking place. During the past year a new idea has been inaugurated in which boys and girls parole the halls as rovers. These rovers fill in when some regular member of the Service Leagre is absent or has a Laboratory period. The rovers leave their rooms on the first bell and go directly to the floor to which they are assigned. Three or four rovers are assigned to each floor. In order to become a Service League member a person must be a member of the three upper classes, must have passing grades, and then must be recommended by some member of the faculty. Each member is easily distinguishable by the orange and black pin which he is to wear at all times. During the year the Service League sponsors an afternoon dance for the Student Eye Glass Fund. At present the faculty adviser is lVIr. Frank lVI. Durkee who took lVIr. David E. liader's place after his departure for the armed forces. This is not the first time that lVIr. Durkee has been in charge of the Service League. From 1930 to 1939 he directed this organization, but, because of the time consumed in producing a cham- pionship debating team, he relinquished his duties as supervisor to Mr. Mader, who continued the Service League up to the present when he was called into the Army. The officers of the Service League are: President, Willis Lebourveaug Vice- President, George Senechog Secretary-Treasurer, Anna Vescovi. The Senior mem- bers are: Mary Angelakos, Dorothy Beekman, Robert Billhardt, Bernice Brett- schneider, Elizabeth Bretz, Wallace Carlson, Ralph Condo, Shirley Conover, Jeanne Daniels, Kenneth DuMont, Alice Duryea, Anne Feretti, David Gerb, Eileen Goell- ner, Alice Kline, Ruth Loughlin, Bernard llflangel, Seymour lVIargulies, Fred lVIeyer, Edward Poleselli, Leonard Sacks, Jean Smolak, Helen Troisi, Natalie VVieldwald, Gloria Van Arsdale, and Yetta Zagoria. 49 FIREMEN l The organization of the firemen in S. H. S. began in 1918 under the supervision of Mr. William Holbert, who is now supervising principal of North Arlington Public Schools. Some of the numerous duties of the firemen are as follows: to shut off all ventila- tors, to close all windows, to keep doors open for exits and closed after all the students and teachers have left the building, and to maintain order and silence through the entire drill. During Fire Prevention Week in October, the school was inspected by our local fire department and several drills were held during that week to test the efliciency of the firemen and students. In the past years the school firemen have had the privilege, once a year, of rid- ing on the borough fire engines. On this occasion, fires have been started on the Exchange field north of S. H. S. which the boys have vied in putting out. The team that succeeded in extinguishing its fire first then set to work extinguishing the opposing teams. A water fight has been the result. This year's firemen hope to enjoy this good sport too. The officers of the firemen are as follows: Chief, Richard Vesterg Assistant Chief, Vincent Sfiscog Second Assistant Chief, Robert Trippanera. Nlr. Novich, one of our physical education instructors, was in charge of this group until he entered the Armed Service. The society is now under the direction of Mr. Young. Among the members of this group we have three girls. They are Evelyn Van der Veer, Margaret Cleary, and Shirley Conover. These girls are in charge of the women teachers' rooms and also the girls, rooms. lvlembers are as follows: Paul Allen, Bill Catlin, VVallace Carlson, Dan Pun- tillo, Russell Moore, David Whinfreyf, Charles Sunyak, John Horensky, Ralph Condo, Herman Ertleschweiger, Jack Azud, Raymond Kopf, John lVIcLachlan, Fred Meyer, Frank Heitz, Harry Harris, Shirley Conover, Richard Vester, Vincent Sfisko, Robert Trippanera, Kenneth Gaburo, Ronald Yellis, lylargaret Cleary, Evelyn Van der Veer, Kenneth Dumont, George Sherman, Patsy Tosco, Frank Barba, John Becker, Raymond Bateman, David Dean, Lorenzo Rossi, Roger Lyon, Freeman Moore, Edward Bayus, Richard Gibson, Stanley Higgins, VValter Martin, Richard Schmelz, Joseph Carnevale, Daniel Gallagher, Donald Southwick, George Miller, Raymond Sangiovanni, John Hudak, Herb Wasserman, Elmer Tkacik, Franklin Strader, Fran- cis Sangiovanni, Russell Clark, Arthur Siegel, George Amerman, John Ancellotti, lVIenelaos Angelakos, William Craig, David Herder, joseph lkianara, Angelo Peran- toni, John Vanderbeek, Rufus Nlanigault, and Alvaro Beardsley. 50 THE R RITA HI Y Hi-Y, the name for High School Y. hi. C. A., is an organization of Raritan boys of high school age affiliated with the Y. llfl. C. A. To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, is the purpose of the Hi-Y. Its platform is Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. Every Tuesday night from seven-thirty to nine, a group of over twenty Raritan boys meet in the Washington School in Raritan to conduct club programs based on the above platform and directed toward that purpose. Stressing the democratic way of life, the club has each boy serve on some com- mittee directly related to the proper functioning ,of club activities. The Commit- tees are as follows: Program, Meinbership, Social, Educational, and Physical. The Raritan Hi-Y's most notable projects this year havebeen the scrap drive sponsored in response to the Student Council's plea for a volunteer group to back the drive, and the slogan or creed contest for Somerville High School. The organization offered a prize in defense stamps for the best slogan or creed symbolizing the spirit of S. H. S. Scholarship, Honesty, Service was the prize-winning slogan. Another project, less noble perhaps, but no less notable-the piece de resistance of the year-was the afternoon dance acknowledged as one of the best of the season's functions. To this, on llfiarch IO, 1943, an eager crowd of Somerville High School gentlemen, awaiting their smiling and chattering lady-loves , entered the lower gym, where they danced away the wee hours of the afternoon to snappy tunes including variety numbers, as a Paul Jones , a Broom Dance , a Spot Dance. In addition, the novelties presented by several faculty members added to everyone's enjoyment. Truly, the year 1942-1943 was a fruitful one for the Raritan Hi-Y. Officers of the club, directed by Charles Perrine of the Social Studies Depart- ment, are: President, Ralph Sternadorig Vice-President, Edward Polesellig Secretary, Nick Sternadorig Treasurer, William Zaninelli. The following boys are active members: Ralph Sternadori, Nick Sternadori, Edward Poleselli, VVilliam Zaninelli, Daniel Puntillo, Dominick Sanchini, Kenneth Gaburo, August De Piano, Andrew Kovac, Alfred Pierfederici, Henry Pernini, Anthony Recchia, Joseph Sangiovanni, Raymond Sangiovanni, Gerald De lVIelio, VValter Hmieleski, Victor Lamastro, Gilbert Harding, Joseph Carnevale, Gino Bartolucci, Isadore Grasso, Lorenzo Rossi, and Joseph Zardus. 51 THE PGSITRCNS This year the Positrons , directed by llir. Lawrence L. lbloore, is adapting its activities to fit the war situation. On Tuesday afternoons, members work on special experiments in the laboratory and their findings are presented to the club at a regular meeting. Membership is open to those students who have had chemistry or who are now taking chemistry. Regular meetings are held after school and in the evenings in order to have speakers who are not available during the regular school day. Afiiliated with The Science Clubs of America, the Positrons keep their high standards by maintaining definite purposes. Among these purposes are: to become acquainted with recent developments in the field of chemistry by discussion of reports from scientific magazines, radio broadcasts, daily papers, and other similar sources, to become acquainted with the tools of scientific research by gathering material and preparing synthetic productsg such as, cosmetics, Havoring extracts, drugs, dyesg to become familiar with the properties and uses of such materials as liquid air and to experiment with these materials, to understand the actual conditions under which chemicals are prepared by visiting manufacturing plants, seeing moving pictures of industrial processes, and listening to speakers from industrial establishments as well as seeing demonstrations of chemical processes such as cold light, transmutation of elements, Horescence, and X-rays, through student demonstrations, professional demon- strations, and by visitations to laboratories where experiments involving these things are given. The officers of the club are: Chief Chemist, VVillis Lebourveaug Assistant-Chief Chemist, Richard Vesterg Faculty Chemist, lX'Ir. Nlooreg Equatibn, VVallace Carl- song Formula, Bernice Brettschneiderg Catalyst, Evelyn Van der Veer, Keeper of the Lab, Edward Poleselli. - lVIembers of the club arez.

General membership was open to all lower classmen who were participat- ing in some form of war service. lVIembership in any one of the five special divisions, Land, Sea, Air, Communitv, or Production, was open to juniors and seniors who could meet general qualifications as well as those of each special service. l 53 THE BAND Fast becoming one of the most important and one of the largest organizations of Somerville High School is the Band, under the direction of Claude E. Shappelle. In the fall at every football game the students are aroused to great heights of enthusiasm and great eagerness for victory by the stirring tunes of the band as it marches down the field dressed in orange, black and white uniforms and twirling shiny batons. , ln the winter the student body looks forward to the annual concert, always an excellent performance. This year, the band presented one of the most novel concerts since its origin in 1931 under the direction of lviax Friedman. VValter Pederson portrayed the part of the United States Public Enemy No. I while the band played ln Der Fuhrer's Face. Leo Bartolanzo, student conductor, led the band in the Mlflarch R. lN'1. B. George llfliller received a S25 VVar Bond for selling the largest amount of tickets over fifty, and Beatrice Harmon received a S5 war stamp for selling the second highest amount of tickets. The proceeds of this concert went for kits for the soldiers. The band had as its officers: President, Leo Bartolanzog Vice-President, lVillis Lebourveaug Secretary-Treasurer, John lVildgeng Librarian, Jane Englehartg and Rianager, George lviiller.

Shappelle. V This organization combines each year with the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs to present, in a setting of palms and evening dress, the Annual Spring Concert of classical music, which is an event long awaited and long remembered by the high school students. The Orchestra also lends its talent for the National Honor Society Induction Assemblies, the Athletic Awards Assembly, the Senior Play, the A. A. Play, and the Graduation Exercises. This organization is limited to the classics and has played simplified arrange- ments from the following composers: Beethoven, Tschaikowski, VVagner, Rimsky- Korsakov, llflozart, Rossini and Saint-Saiens. , One credit a year is given to the members of the orchestra toward graduation credit and in the senior year, after three years of service, the regular music letter is awarded.

The members consist of boys and girls who wish to derive pleasure from group singing and who have belonged to their respective glee clubs for one year or more. Meeting once a week the group prepares for various appearances during the school year. A fall assembly program was presented to the school, and selections of various Christmas songs from foreign countries were sung at the Christmas assembly. A basic text- Music, The Universal Language ,-was used for the advanced choral singing. The outstanding success of the combined chorus was the Annual Spring Concert presented to the public in lX'Iay. VVith fragrant flowers and palms adorning the stage, with the young ladies dressed in rainbow-hued gowns and the boys in well- groomed suits, the melodious strains of well blended voices heralded the last musical event of the school year. The Hallelujah Chorusn,-from Handel's The Nlessiahl' brought the performance to a close. The Annual State Chorus, selections to which was an event anticipated by mem- bers of the chorus, had to he eliminated this year because of transportation difficul- ties.

Jflgy 3 W X J ,I ' 1 ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Three hard-earned victories, one tie and five defeats! Such was the record of The Pioneer squad of '43, a team that will be remembered not so much for the vic- tories won but for its sportsmanship and undaunted spirit when confronted by great odds. Near the end of the season came the heartbreaker -the Lakewood game. In the last minute and a half of play, with the score I3 to 10, the opponents came from behind to score on a long pass. The Pioneers fought hack with an aerial offensive. A long side-line pass, completed for a touchdown, was called back and declared illegal. Still undaunted, the Squad faced the greatly-favored Bound Brook eleven for the traditional Turkey Day Finale. It was this same spirit that was responsible for hold- ing the Crusaders to a I3 to 6 victory. We commend Coach Lloyd A. Nloyer and a squad which, at the end of the S621- son, despite its unimpressive record of victories, was nevertheless able to place five members on the All-County Team. Y . r 60 CHEERLEADERS 1 Through bleak and sunny hours of football games, the cheerleaders led us with determined spirit and husky voices. The range of their activities was, however, cut short because interscholastic sports were dispensed with for the duration. Coached by G. BI. Fenstermacher, the cheerleaders included: VV. Carlson, head cheerleader, B. Taylor, D. Sharp, ll'I. Kopf, Y. Rowe, E. Siegel, H. Trimmer, and WRESTLING Because of war-time restrictions, varsity wrestling has been ruled out for the duration. In its place a system of intramural wrestling has been inaugurated under the able leadership of Mr. G. lklarvin Fenstermacher. Those who received the high- est points in the intramural competition were sent to the State Meet. E Vincent Sisser took second place, Dave Whinfrey placed third, Ed Bowlby came in fifth in their respective classes. G. Bell. 61 BASKETB LL The final whistle has blown, and with it ends the intramural basketball season. These teams have been under the guidance of Randolf Jacobsen, assisted by Dale Remalv. The greatest rivalry was between the Bobcats and lUules. However, after a playoff the lN'Iules', emerged the victors with the Bobcats the runners-up. The highest scorer of all the teams was Bob Trippanera, with 148 points. BOXING VVatch your guard - Keep up your left -coached Roy Simon, as his Hboysl' went through their workout. Though introduced as a new sport in the activi- ties program, boxing has been readily accepted by the student body. Several exhi- bition matches were presented to the pupils and immediately acclaimed as a necessary part of our new intramural program. 62 BASEB LL ln the spring a young manls fancy lightly turns to thoughts of baseball, So it is, here in Somerville High School every season. Usually, main interest centered around the Varsity, but since all varsity sports have been cancelled for the duration, intramural baseball holds the attention of all the students. Games are played almost every afternoon on the high school athletic field with a crowd of enthusiastic rooters at each game to pep up the players. The entire project is in the capable hands of lVIr. Perrine. BCWLING Another sport added to our curriculum this year is bowling. Every afternoon, in Viola's Bowling Allies, could be found many boys awaiting their turns, vieing for top honors. Those who succeeded were Charles Sunyak, Ralph Stfrrnadori, Peter Nittilo. lVIr. G. W. Kadel was in charge of this activity assisted by lVIr. B. Young. 63 TRACK ,- - .W ., ,. E V . . K if i I This year, as in all other major sports, track has been limited to intramural competition. Under the leadership of lllr. Lloyd lVIoyer the season has run smoothly and efhciently. . Though the number of participants is limited there is hope that they may be entered in the County lN'Ieet as in previous years. PING PON G Every llfionday and VVednesday afternoons, found Mr. Bohner in the little grey building, supervising, and often participating, in table tennis. Back and forth went the tiny celluloid disk, as did honors for top scorer. The victorious player was Herbert Wasserman, closely followed by Donald Jones. To end the season, mixed couples, consisting of the girl and boy teams, slashed the ball to the finish in an exciting game. 64 GIRLS' A. G. A. Officers The officers which the Girls' Athletic Association elected for the I942-4.3 season are as follows: President. Evelyn Vander- veer, a seniorg vice-president, Vera Ann Kugler, a juniorg secretary-treasurer, Emmy Lou Billhardt, a juniorg point recorder, Ruth Laughlin, a senior. The advisers of the A. G. A. are llfliss Van Horn and bliss Van Riper, physical educa- tion instructors. Hockey Anyone passing the Exchange Field on a balmy day in October can hear the high- pitched shrieks and groans of the excited girls participating in field hockey. This year. as usual, the Seniors captured the high honors, with the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen coming in second, third, and fourth, respectively. Table Tennis and Badminton Two of the most popular fall sports among the girls are table tennis and bad- minton. ln the table tennis tournament llfiarie Rosania, a senior, emerged victor and Emmy Lou Billhardt, a junior, run- ner-up. Jeanne Srnolak, a senior, captured the winner's spot in badminton, closely followed by runner-up Doris Haines, also a senior. SPORTS Basketball This sport, the most popular among the girls, is always the most exciting. For the Hrst time, the girls were allowed to select their own teams, of which there were many from each class. The winning team was the Hblunior Jeeps , composed of B. Drink- water, captaing H. Toohey, R. Cohen, D. Sutphen, E. Ragno, P. Peters, B. Mount, BI. Todd, E. Billhardt, V. Kugler, Lon- ardi, and D. Santor. Bowling This popular sport was offered to the girls for the first time this year. It was immediately accepted with much enthusi- asm by the eager girls, some of whom were novices and some of whom were experts at the game. Teams were formed and the individual high scorers were Ronia Cohen, Helen Toohey, and Nellie Carnevale, all juniors. Archery During the hot Indian Summer days, archery is popular because it is fun but not fatiguing. ln the advanced group, Bar- bara Drinkwater and Josephine Arnone, both juniors, came in first and second. In the beginners' group, Lois Schenck, sopho- more, and Fortunette Benun, freshman, tied for first place, and lklarie Carnevale, junior, was runner-up.

He was busy collecting a few scattered molars, which had been dislodged when Efvelyn Van der Veer and lllargaret Cleary swerved around 52nd Street on their tandem and jumped the curb . . . left them all suing each other and cruised into Guez-rera's Chop House where we shared a table with Anna Vescofai, famed lecturer, .lean Fields, recently appointed editor of Fortune Magazine, and the brilliant engineer Ufillis Lelnourfveau, who over a porterhouse confided his plans for a bridge connecting Miami and Los Angeles . . . a spectacular idea, but we feel it will only lead to bloodshed. Also enjoying a hearty meal were Betty Bratz, of the Ballet Russe, concert-violinist Jean Smolak, and Hank V an der Veer and Bill Catlin III, recently voted the season's loveliest bachelors. They were en route to the -Yankee Stadium, so we invited ourselves along and sped uptown in time to catch in action those four horsemen of the Cardinals, Bob Trippanera, Red Sjiscko, .lolzmzy MacLacl1la11, and Frank Heitz. After the Cards' victory we scuffed into lVlzinfrey's Wayfside Inn to join Pris Seigel, the year's best dressed woman, and Shirley Banks, her exclusive buyer . . . stopped to chat for a while with a nearby couple, designer Janet Hand, and Ski-Trooper lllaurice Lutlein, complete with ski poles and a brace of hus- kies . . . nearly all lVIanhattan was deserted by 8:30 however, for the town turned out en masse to make the first curtain of the Carnegie Hall debut of Kenneth Gaburo, brilliant pianist-composer-conductor, who has received such great acclaim both here and on the continent . . . noticed in the front rows cheering approval Edward Socky Ashton, popular young mayor of Jersey City, Nancy Taylor, Designer of Women's Hats, the sea- son's outstanding hostess, Alice Duryea, and the stalwart military man of iron, Illajor Richard V ester . . . this cultural week came to a climax last evening when Zllillie Leonard and Peggy O'Brien, dazzling Strader Cover Girls, accompanied your reporter to the open- ing of Sylvia Hanlotfs original production, Gone, Gone, Gone.
