PETERS lt is necessary to have in any building an effi- cient lighting system to illuminate properly all parts of the interior and the exterior. Similarly, in Jeffer- son we have found that our advisers and counseliors are, in a sense, guiding lights in our own class structure, enliglitening our perplexities and illumi- nating new ways. Selma Peters exemplifies this spirit, for, during her three years as faculty leader of our class, she has certainly shed light on our manv problems and difficult situations. To know Selma Peters is truly an experience in itself. Her subtle iests contain all the clistinctive flavor that can emariate only from a small town girl. As a matter of fact, she was born on a tiny may tell, in tier quaint Southern manner, of the time when, as a school girl, if the class worked twice as hard during theswinter mornings, everyone would be excused in the afternoon to- got sleigh-t riding, ,Her informal way is one which not only makes 'many friends but also wins her much respect as a sort of home-spun philosopher. We often think of her as a counterpart to WillRogers. As our adviser, MissV2Peters has unseltishly cle- voted innumerable hoursof her time to insure our class successq She hasslistenedi patiently, and has couneiled astuteiy. No task has been tooo large, no detail too insignificant, She-has been genial, soli- cltous, and sincere: ins aliiherefforts. Therefore, farm in Virginia. After moving north, Miss Peters l t , it , , availed herself of study at Ada phi College, Colum- W?i9 3TefUUY 9Xf?N5lfQ5?fId93PY3F?l?f9C'af'0l fo Selma bia, and the University of Rochesterge herxteechingy s g3?feFSf s,lj1?14feSi1ge5WQyfji93Si'2 lwifhlilwaffb 518-Bfffelf career has been in School Sixteen and iitss leffersenj siyrsgsysr jisliesliisfersysigieeessgreriel5gliieg:ipiri?S?z.tigetrousingjvoiceoti Anecdotes bi' M555 Paws aff? isri Uiuaflvs liisi isss f - . .. 1 . - .- .. . . is . - - .. - K - , : i.. -- f -V ff-fi .sr fri- ,sf 1 .iff 1-:f me-ii.:,--il..i,:-, 2-.ries H GOMMEMORA TION new H wfszefslzk For the past twenty-three years, Fred Wiebesiek has been an instructor of physical education at Thomas Jefferson High School, and he is certainly one of its best-known and most popular teachers. Wiebe , as he is affectionately referred ro by the students and faculty alike, has seen many changes. He has watched Jefferson build an out-A standing reputation in New Jersey, not only in scholasticratings, but also in the field of athletics. Whether it is in football or track, in basketball or soccer, Jefferson's name is one with which the other schools in the state must carefully reckon. Our success in this program has been due in a large part to the unceasing su port of Mr. Wiebe- siek. Without his diligent effbrts, as teacher and coach, Jefferson would not be able to carry such a varied schedule of athletic activities. As both an administrator and agent of good- will, Fred Wiebesiek has always given outstanding service to our school, a true gentleman in every sense ofthe word. We at Jefferson know that Mr. Wiebesiek will not go into passive retirement. With such a spirit of mind he will be forced to find some other outlet for his bountiful supply of energy. We Jeffmen of 1954, as well as those students who have graduated since l929, wish to express our deepest gratitude for being able to work with him and for him. Wherever his path may lead, we are confident that he will meet with continued success. e xx ,XE Jofwxge. vwrsle .X ,XG YH. This year Thomas Jefferson High School celebrates its Silver Anniversary. Thousands of young men have passed through its portals, many to successful careers, and all, we trust, to happy lives. Hundreds of its graduates have fought in defense of America and two hun- dred and one have made the supreme sacrifice. What kind of school has moulded so many wonderful lives? ls it the building? Arch- itecturally, no! There are many finer, more glamorous buildings, yet an intangible, hard- to-describe esprit cle corps which the school has possessed since itsopening seems to inspire graduates each year to strive for even higher goals. , , The spirit of a school depends to a great extent onits faculty. Such a faculty helps to provide guidance, leadership and inspiration for the youth under its care. The Jefferson Fa- culty love this school and the young men entrusted to their care. They are a capable, well educated group. Aware of their great responsibilities, they accept them gladly. An architect must visualize how the bricks and mortar, lumber, steel, paint, glass and furnishings will take a tangible form. So also, the principal as the architect of his school has plans for the construction of his ideal school. He decides on the best use of all the material at his command. ln place of bricks and lumber. he blends into his concept the members of his faculty and of his student body with their widely differing personalities and potential- itiesi. Thus Jefferson to an immeasurable extent reflects the ideals of the principal. The Echievemeints of the Jefferson graduates over the years have proved that these plans have een goo . , Congratulations on this Silver Anniversary of Thomas Jefferson High School to all who through the years have given so unstintingly of hand, mind, and heart to the making of this f. .of fine institution.

This group is made up of the four regularly elected class officers, and two repre- sentatives from each senior home-room. They meet weekly to plan our activi- ties and to consider with Miss Peters the participation of the class in the school's social program. This year they have raised money through the sale of Christmas cards, have held several dances including the Senior prom, and have arranged various assemblies. l7 ARMANDO SOZIO I2-A ANGELO MARZULLI 'I2-G wx S.

A jam session. Man, dig dis daffy dozen! Beau Brummell himself Lester Williard THE FIRST This year, l954, marks the 25th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson High School. lt was a quarter cen- tury ago that a group of high school seniors first found themselves in this new building, A great number had transferred from the Battin High School, and wondered how they would get along in a school void of co-education. They also realized that their class represented the general first impression of the new school, and that the reputation they should establish would very well set a prece- dent for future classes. To us, twenty-five years later, the initial class of Jefferson occupies the first floor in our structure. Many people were apprehensive, but the first class was more than equal to the task. When it was grad- uated in l93O, it had formed a strong groundwork over which the succeeding classes would freely build. The purpose of this unit is to re- view the past quarter century. As each year passes the history of Jef- ferson High School and the world will come alive again, And now, let us return to the year of the founding of Jeff, the year l929. . . Nineteen hundred twenty-nine began with the police raids on speak- easies and bootleggers. lt ended with the aftermath of the stock market crash. It was the last year of the fabulous decade of peace and pros- perity. The year opened upon a mil- lionaire nation, ran headlong into panic, and closed with a promise of early recovery-a promise which was not to be fulfilled. On October 24, the New York Stock Exchange suffered the great- est crash in its history. Big investors and small buyers alike were ruined, Throughout the nation production slowed or stopped, as countless busi- nesses failed. The free-spending, carefree '2O's were dead. The fabled streets of gold proved to be cold, hard stone after all. Many were wiped out financially, and the de- pression spread across the country. Herbert Hoover was inaugurated President, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt was sworn in as Governor of New York. Aviation began to bind the na- tions of the earth into one world. Admiral Byrd was in the Anartic pre- YEAR-1929 paring for his big flight across the South Pole. Airmail was flown from the United States to Latin America, and in thirty-two hours a plane could fly from New York to San Francisco. Progress was definitely here. With science advancing by leaps and bounds, and with the nations of the world deceiving each other with promises of arms reduction, daily life went casually on. In the sports' world, the Philadelphia Athletics took the World Series from Chicago in five games. Bobby Jones won the U. S. Open golf title, Babe Ruth was still the great idol 3 and Gene Tunney, heavyweight champion of the world, had already retired undefeated. Big Bill Tilden was king of the tennis worldg its queen was Helen Wills Moody: and Gallant Fox was warming up for his Triple Crown year in racing. Tremendous changes were being made in the motion picture industry, where talkies were discussed as the new medium which would transplant the silent films and challenge the legitimate stage. Old heroes of the silent pictures either switched to the new technique or disappeared from the scene. Broadway saw thirty fewer produc- tions than the previous year, for, as the winter neared, unemployment spread and gloom and worry were in the air. This former happy nation now had little time for frivolity. However, the season managed to turn out such hits as Let Us Be Gay lrather ironicall, Berkeley Souare , the Pulitzer Prize winner Street Scene . and Jerome Kern's Sweet Adeline . Radio moved into big business. Huqe-salaried stars emerged as more and more talent flocked to this med- ium. Vaudeville had not long to live, but it still boasted such performers as Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, and Dick Powell. Nineteen twenty-nine marked America's hicih climb in wealth, and a crash to the darkest depths in modern history. lt was a year which bowed out the celebrated flaming youth of the roaring twenties-the sheik and the flapper. America hummed 'Singing in the Rain , but it had enough sobriety to forget isolationism and to awaken to a re- sponsibility in world affairs. And America has never stopped singing. ll P nv 1.-Z D -1 .-iv,--M E -' .'1s ! ' f 'F i Brown Bros. Somber crowds gather at the Stock Exchange during the great crash. Every wall was wet with tears.

NOW ln our journey through the years we have seen many changes, physical and spiritual, in Jefferson High School and in the world. During all this time, Jefferson has grown from a little-known boys' school to one of the most famous institutions of learning in this state. Throughout the years, our teams havebe- come champions in various school sports, and our clubs have been recognized as a part of the community as well as the means of developing civic-minded and responsible citizens. Many men have been graduated from this school who have won for us a fine reputation in the na- tion's colleges and, upon graduation from these various institutions of higher learning, have become successful in their chosen fields. Some graduates have entered industry or the trades and have become prominent. No one will forget, of course, the many Jefferson grad- uates who defended our country in World War ll and in the Korean Conflict. Some have paid the supreme sacrifice, others have been disabled, but all have brought credit to our school. Whatever their field of endeavor, all these men have made the state of New Jersey aware of Thomas Jefferson High School and the men who have come from its halls. Here are two displays of Jefferson taste. One is taken from the year l929g the other from the year l954. The two eras have vast differences, and yet there are amazing simi- larities. 1929 SUBJECT 1954 Stutz Bearcat Automobile Jaguar Amos an' Andy Radio Program Make Believe Ballroom lAre you Kidding?l T V Program Dragnet Button Up Your Overcoat Song Stranger in Paradise Bath Tub Gin Beverage Milk Fatima Cigarette L 6 M Farewell to Arms Book The Kinsey Reports The Palace Theater Any Drive-ln Ed Wynn Comedian Jerry Lewis John Barrymore Actor Marlon Brando Clara Bow Actress Marilyn Monroe Paul Whitman Band Ray Anthony Rudy Vallee Male Vocalist Eddie Fisher Kate Smith Female Vocalist Joni James Mickey Mouse Cartoon Character Dennis The Menace Yale College Rutgers You're The Cat's Pajamas Popular Saying Swell Going to Speakeasies Hobby or Sport Thursday Night Shopping The Jazz Singer Motion Picture The Moon is Blue Raccoon Coat Clothes Plaid vest, white bucks Charleston Fad Hollywood haircut His Master's Voice Disc Jockey Martin Block Ziegfield Follies Show The Caine Mutiny Courtmartial And now, as an introduction to the most important section of this annual, we present the class that entered Jefferson for the first time in l95l, the class that will be remembered for manyyearstocome, THIS YEARS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 ll 4 V Q55 000 000 , I x c,,,,.,S,,,.

When we entered Jefferson three years ago, many of us soon became acquainted with a fellow sophomore who was happy, vivacious, and, as all of us tend to be, sometimes mis- chievous. He was Alfonse Sillib. There was always a cheerful nod from him in the hallway and a vigorous Hi-Ya in the street. Alfonse's main interest seemed to be in stenography. He was one of my ablest stu- dents, said Mrs. Stokes, his business teacher, Alfonse had a, keen sense of responsibility and dependability. Al also worked with Mrs. Stokes on the stage-crew, so she probably knew more about him than any other teacher. Back stage Al was a vital hand, always waiting and eager to meet the requests of anyone concerned with the assembly. The above lines give expression to the feelings of Alfonse SiIlib's fellow students as they mourn his absence at graduation.

Now that we have reached our senior' year, we can readily appreciate that we were not men at the time but rather neo- phytes on the road to higher learning. To this end, we have been admirably directed. Recorded herewith, for all to scrutinize, are some of the moments and happenings of our stay at Jefferson, which we shall long remember. On a bleak September morning, approximately two hundred and fifty lowly unsuspecting sophomores entered the well-known halls of Jefferson. Realizing that there were no mem- bers of the opposite sex of the impressionable age within this institution, we innocent- minded individuals devoted our valuable time to establishing ourselves firmly into the Jeffer- son way of life. After many weeks of using indoctrinating propaganda to influence our undeveloped minds, our class officers were elected. These fine leaders were Roger Vignes, Paul Rollis, Gerald Weissman, and James Lyon, for the offices of president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. During our first year in Jefferson, the athletic teams performed exceptionally well. Our football record was the third best in the history of the school, while the soccer team lost only to Kearny. The cross country team captured the Union County and Central Jersey Cham- pionships. ' We soon became better acquainted with our new principal, Mr. John E, Dwyer, who had been chosen to fill the vacancy created by the untimely death of Mr. Porter W. Averill. As the days rolled by and the curriculum grew more strenuous, we began to heed the advice of Mr, Dwyer, who advocated lOOfMp student-activity participation. For the first time in the history of Jeff, a stag square dance was given. Sponsored by the senior class and the Key Club, it was deemed a huge success. Sadness prevailed throughout the school when the students and teachers learned of the sudden passing of Mr. Walter F. Kroemmelbein, who had been a biology instructor at Jeffer- son. Mr, Paul Schubeck, a former Jeffman, replaced the distinguished educator. During our initial year, the city of Elizabeth experienced three disastrous plane crashes, one of which nearly struck Battin. When the third accident occurred, several students aided in rescuing some trapped passengers. Jeffmen became the outdoor type when a new playing field was established on the southern side of the school, and Gym classes were held there-often regardless of the temperature. During the twelve weeks of summer vacation, we, the class of '54, were transformed from the lowly form of sophomore to that of a hitherto unknown being , a junior who pos- sessed the suavity, the distinction, and the superior intelligence of many an older organism, When we returned to Jeff in the fall, there were sundry.elections to consider. One fine day all Elizabeth schools were dismissed when President Harry S. Truman, accompanied by his daughter Margaret, came to Elizabeth to denounce the Republicans. But later Dwight D. Eisenhower was chosen President of the United States, and David Crowell, Paul Rollis, Jerome Dwyer, and James Lyon were selected as our own class officers. One of the main events of the junior year was the production of our talent show. This spectacle, rated a great success was well received by the pupils of Jefferson. Miss Selma Peters, our class adviser, really deserved an Oscar for her outstanding job in pre- senting the program. Jeff's football team, handicapped by the loss of many players, fought valiantly through 56 an unsuccessful season. On the other hand, the soccer team was victorious in capturing the State championship. The cross-country squad, which had suffered a blow in losing many top runners, had a moderate year. The swimming team was coached for the first time by Mr. Paul Schubeck. The Porter W. Averill Memorial Award plaque, a creation of the J.S.O., was placed in the main hallway. The first name to be engraved on the bronze tablet honoring famous alumni was that of Robert Ward. He was chosen for this honor because he had been selected for the All-American football team. The Constitution of the J.S.O. was finally streamlined by a special committee. This document, unaltered for over ten years, now allows the governing body to function more efficiently. Mr. L. Robert Somach was added to the faculty as a teacher of English and of social stugies. One of his important extra-curricular activities has been that of coaching the cheer- ea ers, Monte lrvin and Gene Hermanski, star National League outfielders, appeared at Jeffer- son in an assembly program during Brotherhood Week. They emphasized the need for team- work in life as well as in sports. After careful screening, the class selected Paul Rollis to represent Jeff at Boys' State, an annual week-long conference at Rutgers University. The Junior Prom at the Winfield Scott Hotel was without question the social highlight of the season. Many attended the gala event and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. At the close of our junior year, three well-known faculty members, Mrs. Margaret M. MacFarquhar, Mr, William Demarest, and Mr. Ray H. Passmore retired from the teaching staff. Mrs. MacFarquhar is remembered by all for her outstanding philosophy and her style of teaching. Mr. Demarest, who was the woodshop instructor, created many necessary and valuable products in wood for the school. Mr. Passmore, vice principal here since l93l, was known to every boy for his sincere understanding of student problems. At last! After waiting impatiently for one summer, we returned to Jeff as full-fledged seniors. The first difference we noticed was that Mr. Frank Kirkleski, a history teacher, had replaced Mr. Passmore as vice principal. The former emphasized the need for better excuses for Jeffmen. Mr. Kirk satirically stated that many buses seemed to be late just about eight- thirty! Mr. Joseph Kania, carrying on in Mr. Kirk's place as history teacher, became our new football coach, replacing Mr. Abner West. Mr. Andrew Radvanski after a lapse of several years, returned to Jefferson to take over the wood shop post. ' a The Monticello Times issued a plea for improved conditions in regard to the physical appearance of the school. The paper naively requested a new structure, which would, of course, be co-ed. Mr. Abe Benjamin became the new adviser to the paper. Tee-Jay and class officers were elected. George Bertish, Roger Porter, Paul Rollis, and Roger Vignes were selected to serve as yearbook co-ordinators. For our class officers, Thomas Nufrio was elected president with Ronald Dominach, Jerome Dwyer, and Joseph Anisko emerging victorious for the other positions. David Crowell was elected J. S. O. president, with Stan Simon, Louis Costanza, and Bernard Shapiro in the other offices. Miss Bolesta as- sumed the duty of faculty adviser to the Student Council. Following an attempted no-holiday strike at Battin, an unknown Jeffman turned in a fire alarm. This incident was followed by a similar walkout, or rather a never-come-in by several over-enthusiastic students. In athletics, Jefferson's soccer team again won the State championship, and the cross- country team captured Union County honors. The football squad had its best record in years, winning all its home games, while the hoopsters won County and State laurels. Something new was added to the Jefferson Office in the guise of Mrs. Thelma Koplin, who, as the new clerk, found the Jeffmen friendly and the masculine atmosphere a bit strange. Many a student would like to have this position in Battinl A ten-inch blizzard hit Elizabeth, all schools were closed fora day. Although the holi- day ended after one missed session, some seniors continued 'their extended xweekend, not comprehending how others had ever made their way to school! More social activities were stressed by the students of Edison, Battin, and Jefferson. ln order to arrive at some conclusion on the matter, the three schools held a meeting in the City Hall. The order of the day in January and March was the College Board exam. Seniors apply- ing to schools all over the country, spent many hours in preparation in the hope that good scores would boost individual prestige. As the days rush onward, we eagerly await the final thrilling events that are known only to seniors: the publication of the Tee-Jay , the Senior Prom, the Class Play, Senior Day, Class Night, and finally-Commencement! Our past three years here at Jefferson have been most rewarding, not only in the won- derful facilities for learning, but also in the opportunities to meet many new friends. The atmosphere has been warm and enlightening. Thanks to the unselfish and dauntless efforts of Miss Peters, our class has promoted and fostered school spirit in sports and in all other school activities. Our dances have been successes, especially in our senior year, and our many activities have shown the true spirit with which we have attacked them. We deeply appreci- ate all that has been done for us, and our greatest hope is that Jefferson can be proud of the class of l954. 57 MOST VOVULNK TON NUFRXO C-ENT of Hum, 5 RANK NXNAEV- A051 'bksxk RERQNE YARN 0 Z 051 mm-M9 wx NED FNY3 f tkoxse KEN CVPNSS SX ONNQD xl was v.

First: ln view of our mass decease, we solemnly dictate that our present fortune, 2,493, 578 yen lmostly collected through class duesl, be allowed to seep slowly by osmosis into the cafeteria fund in order that future civilized Jeff men may eat with forks. Second: Robert Brown bequeaths his showmanship and a beaker of liquid aid to Mel Whitken in the hope that he will do something with it, Third: Roy Moon Remite leaves his flourishing postcard business and his first mil- lion to any enterprising underclassman. ' Fourth : Ned Finkel bestows his plaid vests on Honest Lou Pazienza on condition that Mr. Paz save them for television appearances. His four-button jacket is also Ned's gift to high-styler Marvin Sills. Fifth: Al Patterson extends an invitation to Ken Gallimore who may then make use of the many hungry females who have pursued him for three yearsj lCaution, Ken, they bite! -Editor's note.i Sixth: Jimmy Leo leaves his schedule card which notes: Sth period, Room lO8 to any adventurous undergraduate. Seventh: Ron Sisia wills his fervent enthusiasm for the Marines to Ray Smith. Eighth: George All-State Kim wills his tenor voice and larynx to Jerry Steinberg, boy soprano.

DWYER isignedj FRANK W. KIRKLESKI ei ' J S if Q Safari Many of the styles and modes of today are easily recognizable by our parents not only as reminiscent of the past, but also as exact copies. Clothes, for instance, now seem to be those same models that caused our fathers to strut down the street, making eyes at some Sheik flapper , sighing devistatingly, Baby, you're the cat's meow. White bucks and vests, the earmark of the well-attired collegian in the roaring twenties, are, of course, here again. Cars, always thought to be typical of modern advancement, contribute too, with dazzling wire wheels, a replica of early models. ln many other instances, we can see that history is apparently repeating itself. Acting on this Premise, we believe that the history of mankind is due for a comeback trend. That is, eventually we shall reach our peak, and gradually return to the barbarous state. On the way down we shall relive those eras and periods which gave their particular moment to the cause of history. Thus, our future will be composed of the same elements as have made up our past. As we are posing only as philosophers and not as scientists, we think it relatively safe to say that this unique phenomenon will not occur for at least SOO billion years. Mean- while, let us take a peak into some phase of this future life, which, you will remember, has already taken place. And so, as the fog clears on the orthiconiscopatelaradiopticolator, our futuramic eye, we see, we see, yes, wait, iust a second, THERE! lt's . . . no, it can't be, why, yes it is. . . it's a huge castle! Yes, it appears to be some sort of mighty, medieval castle. Amazingly we have traveled back, or rather ahead, to a declining civilization of the Middle Ages. Let's employ the l4-knob control of our eye , and take a closer look. What ho, varlet , cries a voice from the gatehouse, be ye ally or adversary? lMan, dig that crazy helloll Verily it is a huge hulk of masculinity guarding the entrance, dressed in a suit of armor and very, very soft shoes, Franco Kirkleski, protector of the moat. Upon inquiry as to the baron of this feudal domain, we learn that it belongs to one Lord Nufrio. Ah. Hal 'Tis the land of Latin amour and of the steaming pizza. We cross the drawbridge and are greeted with an outcry of enthusiasm. As we venture into the courtyard, what a sight we see: girl-starved boys confined to one section and a great distance apart, a fold of drooling females. It seems that progress has not reached this place either. Oh, well, perhaps some day the Board of Feudalism will rectify the situation. ln sooth, there, in the far court, is a jousting match. Two knights, John Cusmano and Fred Schiefer are having a go , and it seems that the latter is enjoying another shutout as he wards off the raining blows, Practising diligently, they have sworn to rid the kingdom of those elusive free-lancers, George Sliwiak and Charley Balboa, who have been terrorizing the countryside. Across the courtyard are two serfs basking in the sun. They are leisure-loving peasants, Mike Barone and Frank Wade. With a blast on the royal horn by court trumpeter Fred Cohen, we are ushered into the presence of the Baron himself. Lord Tom is a very humble man, and he has chosen for his palace a rather simple abode, lL ANNEXia. Replete with wooden floors, moth-eaten walls. and squeaking doors, it is nevertheless regal, for there, at the base of the throne, are the court jesters, Gil Lehr and Vince Pelosi, whose costumes ring with tinkling bells. Merriment is in the air, as a troubadour, Ronnie Sisia en- tertains the gathering. Demanding more music, Tom hears the melodic strains of minstrel Stan Sabik. All at once, the festivities are interrupted by a commercial intruder. Roy Re- 62 mite, notorious peddler, has come to sell his wares. Off with his head , cries the enraged Baron, and chief executioner Nick DiCosmo promptly expunges the salesman with GAINES- atine, an ingenious executing device invented by Donald himself. Interesting characters parade by with lightning-like rapidity. George Kim, the suave squire, and Stan Simon, the debonair duke, are both trying to win the hand of the Baron's daughter. Who shall decide the issue? At this moment, Monsieur Roger Porter, a visiting dignitary from Paris, enters the scene. The French sage is consulted and decides that the princess must be cut in two. Just like Solomon, cries Ned Finkle. iThe closest this poor peasant has ever been was Solomon's delicatessenI I It is the hunting season, and an outdoor man-hunter, Norman Vesterdal, has just committed a horrible blunder. Dragging in the already stiffened body of Jack Cranley, he announces to the gasping crowd that he thought the Red bird's head resembled that of a falcon. More annoyances-the local artisan's guild of painters, led by Roger Vignes, sketcher, and Robert Drew, drawer, has come to protest the high taxes. Bob Mazza, the Medieval Merlin, hastily mixes a strange, potent chemical, Davidsonidium oxide , and magically rids the castle of the group. James Dwyer, a master politician, grasping the opportunity, arrives to see Tom. He has brought news of an invasion. Rival baron, Ronnie Dominach, is attacking. Nufrio summons his best knights into action, strongmen Joe Chesney, Howard McKenzie, Hosia Payne, Larry Ciliotta, and Joe Chirichillo. Within minutes after the fray begins, victory is won. The only casualty is Mario Orlando, whose head has been lopped off. Returning to the medical quarters with his admittance slip, he is given an aspirin intravenously. The belligerent captive Dominach is summoned before Justice Crowell of the Castle Court, whose famous iurors George Bertish, James Lyon, Walter Burns, and Ed Kuchlewski bestride the bench. Although Dominach'sr .45 caliber sword ithank you, St. George and the Dragonnet I, is still dripping with blood, he is dismissed for lack of evidence. lnfur- iated, Jim McCarthy Hourihan of the Senior Investigating Committee begins probing for graft. The first offender is Joe Bongiovi, the castle dentist. He has been placing heroin- laden fillings into certain knights' cavities, receiving payments from noted tournament player Alfred Zemeikis. The next culprit is Jack Dittrick, who has been indicted for speeding at I7 miles per hour with his maroon stallion, Deekmobile . The animal is the only horse known that can neigh and whinny to the current hit tunes, having learned them from Walter's disk jockey show, Hawkins on a Binge . Billy Curry has been apprehended for disturbing the peace. lt seems he has tried to recreate that machine of early civiliza- tions, the aeroplane. Flapping his homemade wings from the Tower of Pisa, he landed smack on top of that famous soap-box orator, Honest Ed Houston, who was exercising his lungs in protest of the growing popularity of denudation shows. Upon hearing this news, a com- mitteeman, Paul Rollis, decides to investigate this vice at a latter date. The last group to be questioned are accused of having sold blackmarket spaghetti, ravioli, and pasta fazool. Pleading not guilty to the charge are those three paisans, Feinberg, Goldberg, and Blumberg, who refuse to answer on the ground that it may tend, etc. Baron Frank Calavano, outraged at this display of ignorance decides to end the whole business, and Kefauver can again rest peacefully in his grave. Back at the castle Franco alerts the crowd. A long-voyaging caravan is approaching. As it nears, we notice that is has come from Outer Mongolia. Leading the procession is the bejeweled Ma-Ha-Herbert Kahn, long lost ancestor of Aly, desert Prince. He is transporting his old harem to Italy to procure some new beauties. Herb and his ingenious, cunning, clever Prime Minister Thomas Syms, have tired of their 436 wives. Guarding the precious cargo are three knaves, who have sworn off women for all time-Joe Papetti, Fred Randall, and Bob Saraco. ln the caravan is a pitchman, Joe Vinso, who is selling to the castle folk the Kluse Eat-all-you-want reducing pills. There is the oriental wiseman Robert Brown, still a bache- lor at 85. Pete Johnson, a plastic surgeon who has found a method for restoring chewed ears, may been seen off the side, where athlete-egotist George Laubach and fierce Ed Machu- zak are providing entertaining wrestling. ln another sector Les Turbowitz is giving a talk on Piltdown Man, and Ralph Tonnesen, a descendant of Lief Erickson, speaks on interesting Norwegian habits. Ronnie Aronson gapes with wild delight at True Confessions - on parchment! lt's'been a hectic day. Lord Tom is exhausted after his heavy duties as Baron, and, craving well-earned rest, summons his favorite lyrist, Richie Williams, of the Iilting lysre. Hlyllilliams soon lulls the master to sweet repose, offering the hit balladof the day, we . Suddenly, with a flickering on the screen, we realize that the picture has faded out. It has been like an intangible dream dissolved, a bit frightening perhaps, even fantastic, but cer- tainly intriguing. Maybe, if the dream does come true, we shall see ourselves in these very positions. 63 ::,a..- .qu-1. ...gli I 95 Wim , V , Wm K ' .'E Q . X ff i .ri . - L? RQ, img 'ff I M4 msg! -wig S? ,g w-.. K .

After all-isn't the Student Council the governing body of our own microcosm, the small world of Jeff? And doesnt rne Council look outward and attempt to reach for the goals of the outside world? lt views these standards through what may be termed Windows on the world. Thus, the Council is a model of local and national government on a small scale. There is no need to mention in detail the advantages of serving in student government. We are all familiar with the benefits derived from experiences in holding office, in voicing opinions, and in voting. Perhaps the best reason for the great success of the J. S. O. during our three years has been the guid- ance of two patient and willing advisers, Mrs. Florence Gorgens in '52 and '53, and Mrs. Elfriede Bolesta in '54. The Student Council has worked on projects for the improvement of the school and for the shrinking of the students' plight, which as we look back, does not seem to have been so bad. Some of the projects which have required the most work and have been of lasting importance include the publication of the Handbook which is given to sophomores and tells Who's Who and What's What in Jeff, the establishment of the Porter W. Averill Memorial Award, a way for Jeff students to honor former graduates who have achieved fame in the world, the revision of the J. S. O. Constitution, that had been outdated, and the opening of the school store, which not only supplies students with articles, but provides the J. S. O. with a substantial income. Routine jobs of the Student Council are running general elections and Boys' State elections: promoting ticket sales to games and advertising them with posters and leaf- lets, sponsoring dances during the year, and organizing Student-Faculty games, which seem to be hilarious for all except a few teachers who suddenly realize every year that they're not so young as they used to be. The work on the Student Council is difficult, but rewardingg and the Council, as representative of the entire-school Jefferson Student Organi- zation, is proud to provide the means by which light may be shed into the structure. my 72 The governing body of the J S O Elected by their homerooms in the fall of the year, these are the men who uphold the tradition of liberal student government at Jefferson. STUDENT COURT 73 The Student Court acts as a student advisory body for the J. S. O. The ten members who serve on the Court are the four J, S. O. officers, the presidents of the Junior and Senior classes, and four members chosen from the student body. The Court is in session when summoned by the Board of Governors, by the J. S. O. officers, by the Service Leagues, by a member of the faculty, or by any student. It is the duty of the court to discuss each case brought before it with the offender or offenders, and to make confidential recommendations for action to the peti- tioning body. . .. si - . . r Since its inception in 1929, the Monticello Times has been Jefferson's regular publication for school news. The HM. T. has always been written by the students for the express purpose of bringing Jeffmen closer to all the activities of their school. Miss Ruth Ely was the first adviser of the paper, and, with the exception of two years, she guided the paper until the current year. Now Mr. Abe Benjamin has assumed the responsibility of directing its operations. The Times has a staff of editors, reporters, typists, advertising workers, and artists that numbers about thirty-five, and a circulation of nine hundred copies for each of its ten issues per school year. Through the years, it has been recognized as one of the better high school publications in the nation. The paper has earned at least a second place award in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in all but one of its years. Nineteen fifty-four has not been an easy year for the Times , Enlist- ments, rising costs, and difficult press schedules have made the staff's job 8 trying one. Yet each month every Jeffman could rely on reading one of the most interesting and attractive issues in the paper's twenty-five year history. Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. Yet test tubes, valence charts, and hydrochloric acid do not limit the activities of this group, which is devoted to the diffusion of chemical knowledge. Many excursions are made throughout the year by these potential scientists to such points of interest as the Atomic Energy Commission, Standard Oil, Bethelem Steel, and United States Metal. An assembly program dealing with liquid air, was presented to the school this year. The officers of the club are: Ronald Dominach, President, Ralph Tonnesen, Vice-President, Ronald Aron- son, Secretaryg Joseph Anisko, Treasurer. ALCHEMISTS CLUB' The Biology Club functions well in the fall and in the spring-when the biologists survey their favorite plants and animals on trips to Palisades Park, Greenbrook Bird Sanctuary, Parwin State Park, and the Westfield Sportsmen's Show. But in the winter, the Jefferson naturalists chafe inside Room 220. All they can do during those days is to shudder to the pictorial tramp of dinosaurs, marvel at Geological Surveys and ogle at microscopes. Mr. Joseph Del Vecchio and Mr. Paul Shubeck direct the operations of the club. BIO! 069' Cl UB LIBRARY STAFF t W .Xe C... These lovers of wisdom are not as you may think, merely bookworms. On the contrary, most of the staff are also disciples of the great outdoors- but only after they have finished their tasks of circulating books, typing cata- logue-cards and lists, taking charge of attendance, decorating the library mending books, and keeping various news scrapbooks. Various parties and trips to New York round out the social life of the organization. The officers include George Smith, Presidentg Robert Weseloski, Vice President, Frank Kobovitch, Secretary, Jerry Simone, Assistant Secretaryg and Al Perry, Treasurer. , kay Q clue l 1, if -...- f, l Xe The Key Club is a service organization the chief purpose of which is to develop leadership and to provide helping hands in the school and in the community. It is sponsored by the Elizabeth Kiwanis and advised by Messrs. Kirkleski and Kania. The essential requirement for membership is a strong desire to do something for someone else, be it aiding in the Community Chest drive, helping Grandma brave the traffic of Broad Street, visiting a student confined to the sickbed with mononucleosis, or entertaining the children at Janet Memorial Home. Officers include: Anthony Barletta, President, James Dwyer, Vice- President, Roger Porter and Robert Brown, Secretaries, and James Lyon, Treasurer. . 76 FRENCH Cl U3 Les Elus was founded twenty-five fears ago and is directed by Miss Mary vl. Murphy. Here is truly the place for 'he bon vivant. ln an atmosphere if camaraderie, the members attend french movies and plays, and meet to liscuss books, history, and current events. This year club members at- 'ended a concert given in New York by he world-famous Parisian boys' choir, 'Les Petits Chanteurs a la Croix de Bois , and entertained four of the :horisters for a weekend. They also velcomed a French student who was a guest of a club member for two weeks. The officers are: Robert Brown, Presi- lent, Charles Kalish, Vice-President, Roger Porter, Secretary, Richard Mer- 'ill, Treasurerg Robert Kluge, Program Director, and Richard Cohen, Publicity Director. SPANISH Cl UB Habla usted espanol, senor? No, enor, we do not speak Spanish, but if re had any interest in things Spanish, ve would attend the meetings of this group, devoted to Spanish and Latin- Xmerican customs, language, arts, his- ory, and literature. This year the :lub made a trip to New York to see he play Don Juan Tor1orio , with a amous Spanish Theater group from Aadrid. Representatives of the club ittended the annual Student Confer- :nce on lnter-American Culture and Education sponsored by Rutgers Uni- 'ersity. Adviser Mrs. Doris Phipps' ifficers are: Anthony Araneo, Presi- lent, Don Verbelovsky, Vice-President, iernard Shapiro, Treasurer, and Carlos 'orres, Secretary. GERMAN Cl UB Jefferson's German Club is one of the three active language groups. Mainly its energies are directed to- ward special activities, in estab- lishing an opportunity for German conversation, in diffusing Teuton- ism, and in drinking dark beer. They have seen German films, have heard speakers, and sung rousing Wien- erschnitzel songs. The annual Christmas party with Battin was a high spot which enhanced good fellowship in the German way. Mrs. Elfriede Bolesta is the adviser. The officers included: Robert Hecht, Presidentg Robert Frazier, Vice- President, and George Bertish, Sec- retary. If you delight in standing behind a podium and exhibi- ting your worldly knowledge before an audience, then you are probably a member of the Forum Club. Mixing its grav- ity and levity in surprising pro- portions, the club argued and settled its way through many an exciting session. Louis Pazi- enza supervises this club, one of the largest in the'school. James Hourihan is Presidentg Jerome Dwyer is Vice-Presi- dentg Roger Porter is Secretary, and James Lyon is Treasurer. RIFIE 01118 BOWLING 61118 If you enjoy the sound of crashing ten-pins, then this is the club for you. To the mem- bers of this club, bowling is more than just an occasional pastime. lt is almost a way of life. America's favorite indoor sport - besides necking - is patronized by some thirty keg- lers, who have formed their own league. Competition is keen and the club has con- tinually sought inter-school matches. Mr. James Gleason directs activities. . 2 S z If you delight in the fine art of shooting rifles-at stationary non-living targets, of Course,- then this organization is fo: you. Beforethe boys begin tc resemble Daniel Boone, how- ever, certain prerequisites - such as good sportsmanship safety precautions, rifle care and proper techniques -- are emphasized. The club, organ- ized in 1933, is directed by Mr Leslie Ault and practices at the Elizabeth Armory. The offi- cers include Phil Addeo, Sarr March, and Errol Huttle. A UDIO- Vl5'UAl AIDS' The Electric Club is com- prised of boys in senior elec- tricity who wish to further their knowelge of the subject. This is accomplished by taking in- teresting and instructive trips to industrial plants, and by seeing commercial movies and exhibits on industrial methods and processes. Leaders of the club are Pat Blumetti, Mega- watt, Vic Hrudowski, Kilowattg Mike Steffans, Watt, Don Jas- pen, Ampere, and Mr. Hall, Power Factor. JUNIOR RED 013055 6'0UN6'll lf the camera-man in a thea- ter chances to step out for a quick smoke and the manager calls ls there a projector-open tor in the house? , these are the boys who will be ready. The Audio-Visual Aids Club, which was started in l936, has continued to render invaluable service by making available to all classes, films, slides, and re- cordings. There are eighty-five boys, under the direction of Mr. Alger Davis, in this fine train- ingground for potential pho- tographers, electricians, and amateur recorders. EIEGTRIL' 01118 One of the least-publicized but worthiest clubs in the school is the Jr. Red Cross group. Members perform such charitable acts as collecting for the regular Red Cross Drive, to which Jefferson annually con- tributes, collecting knick- knacks for service hospitalsg assembling Christmas boxes for the needyg holding parties for various groups, such as the Elizabeth Home for the Aged and the Janet Memorial, and working hand in hand at the Blood Bank with the Elizabeth Red Cross Chapter, Miss Selma Peters is the adviser. 79 The purpose of this group is to meet the boys who come to the guidance office and to help them to use the library and files. Their duties are to assist with minor clerical work and to keep files and catalogues in order. The staff is advised by Messers. Ault, Waitkevicz, and Taylor. The boys include Paul Evans, Ned Finkel, Robert Fritz, Louis Brodesser, Marvin Brainin, and Michael Coplin. ART ULUB Fool's Mate Queen's gam- bit declined Mate in Four lg resign. These statements are all familiar to those in- terested in and familiar with the activities of the Chess Club. Membership is open to anyone desirous of playing chess and able to count to sixty-four. From a spasmodic past, the club has developed to its pre- sent healthy existence under Mr. Leslie Ault. The devotees of the royal game often hold tournaments among themselves and with other schools. 80 6UlDAN6'E STAFF Some may finally collect the great masters for their homes, others may struggle to eke out a living while sketching in a Greenwich Village garret, but all who flock to this club gain an appreciation of art, either through acquaintance with hap- penings in the art world, or through an inspiration to cre- ate. The group often makes field trips to museums and gal' leries. Mr. Sozio, heads the club. Officers include Roger Vignes, Presidentg Robert Drew, Vice President, Mike Diana, Secretary, and John Dombrauskas, Treasurer. CHESS' Cl UB MA RCI-IING 601 01? GUA RD Not quite so congested as the Chicago stockyards, but more so than Broad Street on December 24. That would be a perfect description of the Jef- ferson corriders if it were not for the courageous work done by these noble Service Lea- guers, They direct students passing through the halls. and supervise the locker rooms dur- ing class periods. The or- ganization is under the direc- tion of Mr. Paul Baker. The officers are: Captain Jack Cranley, Lieutenant Jim Dwyer, Jim Lyon, Hosia Payne, and Richard Kluse. Michael Knier is the Desk Sergeant. S6'H00l STORE These are the boys who im- pressively lead the band at football games, and who ascend the platform for the formal opening on field day. Smart and snappy, they uphold the great tradition of standard- bearers. Mr, Paul Baker super- vises the action of these stal- wart gentlemen: Bart Ehlers, Captain, Jack Seitz, Ed Mer- ten, John Alberts, and Richard Czech. I-IAN TRAFFIC SERVICE ZEAGUF The School Store was or- ganized to raise funds for the Student Council. Under the direction of Mr. Jerome Trach- tenberg, the students, who are appointed byfthe J.S.O., sell innumerable supplies to stu- dents before school and during the lunch periods. Jefferson tee-shirts, sweaters, decals, and novelties, as well as the usual paper, pencils, and bookcovers, comprise the bill of fare. Rob- ert Galbraith, Ned Finkel, and Leslie Sladkus are the super- salesmen. Bl I K ,V x JEFFERSON BAND Variety and excellent musicianship are the by-words of the Jeff band, in its concerts given several times a year, in various assembly pro- grams and in entertaining antics at the football games. Mr. Forrest A. Bartlett's organization has some seventy members. The high point of the year for the rhythm-makers comes with the Spring Festival, attended by many enthusiastic lovers of things fine, However, the band is never too busy to play for charitable causes outside of its regular activities, and often performs for service clubs in the area. GLEE Cl UB Members of one of the finest glee clubs in the state these 58 men dedicate themselves to the presentation and preservation of classical folk and popular choral music. Meeting every day under the direction of Mr Harold Vogt, the club has always maintained its fine tradition Besides singing for many assemblies, the Glee Club performs at the Christmas Pageant, is a major force in the Spring Concert, and makes public appearances in the county and the state. Those who sign up for the organization and who survive the vocal trials are assured a wonderful experience in what is probably Jefferson's best loved organization. 2,4 l is 5 .. KW ' DOUBLE OUARTET This musical aggregation is one of the busiest in the school. The eight gentlemen often provide song for as many as tweny-five different organi- zations throughout the city and state during the year. They are indeed a fine group, because membership is selective, and only the finest voices are chosen. These melody-makers have an extensive repertoire. Mr. Vogt's troubadors include Jerome Steinberg, Robert Healy, George Kim, Mario Orlando, Richard Williams, James Lyon, Richard Cohen, and Vincent Favor. JUNIOR GLEE Cl UB Do not be misled by the name of this vocal organization. Its parti- cipants possess much talent, and the only real category in which they play second fiddle is in the number of meetings. They assemble twice a week as compared to the daily get-togethers of their big brothers . Mr. Vogt also coaches the Junior Glee Club, which participates in the Spring Concert 83 and the Christmas Pageant. All-STA TE ORCHESTRA This year Jeff has four representatives on the All-State Orchestra, a fine group chosen from the very best talent in New Jersey. This organization, after intensive rehearsals, gives several concerts throughout the state, Ed Green, Maurice Kelhoffer, Carmine Campione, and Michael Yurgeles inot picturedl are members. REGIONAI BAND All-STA TE CHORUS' The New Jersey All-State Chorus is composed of glee club students from the entire state. Mem- bership is by competition. The chorus, co-ed of course, appears annually at the State Teachers' Con- vention in Atlantic City in November, and then a week later at the Mosque Theater in Newark. Members from Jeff this year are Jerome Steinberg and Arthur Alessi. Several members of Jeffer- son's instrumental associations have gained positions on the Central Jersey Regional Band. The competition is keen, for students try out from the en- tire Central Jersey area. After the try-outs have been com- pleted, rehearsals are held for five weeks in preparation for a concert to be given in New Brunswick.

These demons of Mercury are not confined to Jeff, but may be seen scurrying to the City Hall, or to other schools with important information. ln addition, they are so domesti- cated that they distribute mail, do some filing, and assist with checking of records.

THE WAHS' If quarterback Joe Chirichillo thinks that he has had trouble deciding what play to call at 'crucial moments on the football field, he should have seen the difficulty which we encountered in determining the roll that sports were to play in our class build- ing. Then, after much futile pondering, it struck us all at once. Sports would be the walls, because, as the walls of a building give unity to all parts, enclose the structure, and keep everything compact, so the sports create a feeling of oneness in the stu- dent body. Everyone is concerned with the sports' scene in some way-as a spectator, a rooter, or a participant, and, with the mounting enthusiasm, there comes a warmer feeling toward the school. Jeff has developed a sports participation program on a par with that of any high school in the state. We are represented in ten different varsity sports and in three junior varsity activities. All of these sports have established our school as an outstanding figure in New Jersey athletic circles, with few schools pointing to a better record over the years. As time goes by, we shall often recall with considerable pleasure many of the activities connected with sports. There were the pep assemblies, letter and trophy-award days, occasional visits from Battin, good-natured razing, and ofttime brilliant speeches from team captains. Those state and county champion- ship basketball games can never be forgotten. The Field Days, so thoroughly prepared and inevitabley cancelled because of rain, hold their share of nostalgia. We had nothing to do but to wait for next year, which seemed very distant. However the next year the sun shone brightly and field day went on as scheduled: close baseball games, 25-23 lost horseshoesg misplaced ball fields, and too much sunburn. Yes, it seems that sports have an appeal for every Jeffman, for, next to girls, we probably talk more about sports than about any other topic. We could, of course, go on about the value of athletics and its part in building strong biceps and triceps, but it would only remind us of this story: The golf match to end all golf matches was played in Heaven by St. Peter and St. Paul. St. Peter had the honor on the first tee and promptly made a hole in one. St, Paul, undaunted, repeated the performance. St. Peter marked the scores duti- fully on his card, then remarked, What do you say, Paul? Let's cut out the miracles and get down to business. And so, let's cut out the words, and go on to see just what the Ol' Tee-Jay did in the way of sports during this past year . . . 90 , ' 5' 1 i I g.i,..'!' 2 1...-... Q!

All six triumphs came at Williams Field where attendance figures increased greatly over those of the last few years because of the season ticket sale sponsored by the Oldtimers Coach Kania a firm exponent of good conditioning produced a strong defensive machine with Howie McKenzie Joe Coyle, Pete Ward, and Tom Flor the most effective agents. The new mentor also brought back the single-wing attack, with Joe Chirichillo calling the signals and Jim Hourihan, Jesse Queen and Gil Grant leading the running offensive Larry Cili otta converted on twelve of fifteen attempts at extra points, as Jeff completed a season filled with Shamus Hourihan Gil Grant John Donnelly Joe Chesney Jesse Queen Joe Chirichillo George Laubach Joe Coyle 'nf Tom Flor Tom Nufrio Red McKenzie Larry Ciliotta Pete Ward 67 finer? 74 ' DUCKY TONES 'W A, f z J If J A l .

Not only were they the first undefeated soccer club in the school's history, but they also became the first Jeff team in any sport to capture two successive state championships. They compiled a record of 9 wins and 4 ties. The biggest single accomplishment, a 3-O conquest of a perennially powerful Kearny eleven, resulted in the subsequent awarding of the State Group 4 toga for the second year running. The booters gave top-notch per- formances in two ties with Harrison, State Group l champs, and in a scoreless deadlock with Kearny. Locally their prestige was boosted considerably by two convincing triumphs over Edison. Goalie Fred Schiefer, who registered eight shutouts during the season, gained a berth on the All-State team, as did fullback John Neidenbach. Robert Arnold gave the greatest one-man offensive show with his four goals, all in the first half, against Cranford on Thanksgiving Day. Seniors on the team included Willie Bennett and John Cusmano, co-captains, Jim Letters, Stan Simon, Mario Valeriani, Schiefer, and Arnold. Junior standouts numbered Tony Goncalves, Don Jones, and Neidenbach. 95 SKATE -l Z 'D 5 C O. U5 ., hi .. O O 3' DI 3 U O .. Z 'E c 3 0 'Q 3 2 '-'Z Y 5 vi:-Nowwwwooi m..

Coach Bill Tranavitch's cagers came on with a rush at the end of the season and set a tournament record by capturing the school's fifth county title. The team swept to a I4-3 regular season mark, and dropped tests only to Orange, St. Mary's and Linden, and they sent blood pressures rising with a one'-point triumph over Asbury Park and two-point overtime victories at Passaic and New Brunswick in successive outings. The setbacks by Linden and St. Mary's were avenged in tour- nament playg certainly the 4l -39 conquest of the latter produced one of the all-time thrillers in U. C. T. annals. Coach Tranavitch developed a quintet that boasted height, speed, and good ball control. John Urbanik, standing 6' 6V2 , the only holdover from last year's starting five, became the tallest cager in the school's court history. Co-captain Willie Bennett, the most pro- ficient scorer, who specialized in driving layups and jump shots, split the nets for 254 markers in regular season play. The flashy Pepper Dooley, co-captain and floor general, amazed the crowds with his dazzling dribbling and pass work. Johnny Dykacz, Stan Simon, and Joe Longo lent assistance in the play-making department, and big Ray Gulbin, George Sliwiak, Don Osborne, and Ralph Tonnesen added balance in the scoring and rebounding work, 97 ,STA TE 61-IAMPS' 1954 I7 Stan Simonfff f N My W777f0b Pepper Dooley Now, gentlemen, after you run the first mile in 4:O5.7, then you . . . Winning the Union County Conlference cross-country championship for the seventh time in sixteen years highlighted the i953 campaign for Coach William Satz'si harriers. Paced for the second year by Gregory Sedillo and Richard French, the hill and dalers staged a successful comeback from a poor '52 season to capture seven of their nine dual meets. In addition to their county victory, they took sixth position in the state Class A race and a fourth place in the Central Jersey derby, which was run in a driving snow storm. Sedillo finished first in all of Jeff's dual meet wins, and was runner-up in the county event, His best per- formance was l3:25.l for a ninth place in the state meet.

The grunt and groan business on East Scott Place did not exactly prosper to any great extent in l954. ln fact, it just barely managed to record one of ten meets on the credit side of the ledger. Coach Joseph Del Vecchio's in- experienced matmen suffered a pair of horrible reverses, namely identical 42-O shut outs by Teaneck and Union in successive engagements. Besides the lone triumph, a Zl -20 affair with St. Benedict's, they almost cracked the elusive winning circle on three other occasions, dropping one-point decisions to Plainfield and to Rahway and losing to Pingry despite triumphs in six of the ten events. Sen- iors Teddy Langenberger, who wrestled at ll5 poundsg Al Patterson, who tipped the scales at l-453 and Josia Payne, who represented the heavyweight group, led the squad this year. This may become popular as a new dance step-the pretzel twist. Eh, eh! Leave the eyeball in, please. These fellows play for keeps. .Q 113 , i Say, now, FELLOW!

The Tee'-Jays finished second in the Union County C.Y.O. meet and made a fine showing at the Essex County version of the running. The dual- meet record was rather unpretentious, but a fine per- formance was made in the two-mile event of the State Championship Relays when the couriers scored a sec- ond place. The peak achievement of Coach Bill Staz's indoor outfit was its surprise victory in the New York University Novice Track and Field Championships. The victory was all the more significant since only five boys competed at the 168th Street Armory. Promin- ent during the board season were Greg Sedillo and Tom Healey in the mile, Willie Ward, Ed Langenber- ger and Jack Dittrick in the halfg George Laubach, Andy Bara and lsiah Caldwell in the quarter, and Jesse Queen, Ray Howard, Gil Grant, and Ed Mitchell in the sprints. ff! in , ,fp-. , f f A , 1 If I V , Wfff er ,ab I ky ,s . f Willie Bennett Ron Dominach Dick er Joe Cf1Il'lChtll0 f , gill HE DIAMONDEI? Ton, The word is out, up and down the Garden State, that Thomas Jeffer- son is the team to watch in the 1954 scholastic baseball scramble. Coach Abner West's current diamond club will tackle another ambitious sche- duleg the club has three enviable goals-the Union County Confer- ence championship, the Central Jer- sey Group lV title, and the coveted Greater Newark Tournament toga, which is the equivalent of a myth- ical state championship. Only the three outfield slots were made va- cant by graduation from the highly successful l953 nine, a team that won fourteen out of its last sixteen starts in compiling a I5-5-l sea- sonal mark. Dick Pender, Richie Jones, and Ray Smith, all of whom carried Argonne Post to the Ameri- can Legion Eastern finals, comprise the pitching combination, which is rated with the strongest in the state. Around the infield, veteran ma- terial is back in the personages of Joe Chirichillo, Jesse Queen, Willie Bennett, and Ron Dominach. Catch- er Dykacz improved steadily with each game last year. Pender, the Only senior member of the mound Corps, was the hardest-working pitcher in the county last year, hurl- ing eighty-seven innings for a seven and two mark. Smith was undefeated in four games, while Jones whiffed twenty-one Edison batters in a .tight twelve inning duel and authored a no-hitter against Nutley. the first such achievement in West's coach- ing experience.
