VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE SENIOR RECORD of the Year of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three V i n e1a n d High School Vineland, New Jersey 5 « T P U Bins H E D B Y T HE CLASS the Class of '23, dedicate this vol- ume, in loving appre- ciation of the faithful and willing work put forth by one whom we all highly respect.—to Mrs. R. D. Clippinger. MRS. R. D. CLIPPINGER fHIS year marks a new era in the life of Vine- i|L land High School. It seems that our Alma Mater is making a continual grasp for the new and better things that will make our school a greater servant to its purpose. Vineland High is opening more ways for the development of leadership, public speaking, athletics, social life, and scholarship. The Commencement of 1923 brings new realiza- tions to every one of its graduates. It signifies the parting of friends and the leaving of the place we love. It brings to our attention the vast future lying before us, and the thought that the time has come when it is necessary to decide whether we shall go to a higher institution of learning or start out in the world and meet its battles. But it matters not what we decide, for the same difficulties will sooner or later confront us all. So with these considerations in view the Editors take this opportunity of wishing the Class all possible success in making themselves helpful, ideal citizens who will strive for the advancement of our Country, which is what our High School has tried to cultivate in the last four years. This book is but a brief of the great achievements and activites of the class of ’23. In years to come it will be a great pleasure for us to push aside the mantle of time and return to student life through the pages of this Record. If it really does in future years serve as a treasure to recall sacred memories of our happy High School days, then will its purpose be ac- complished and the strenuous labors of the Editorial Staff be justly rewarded. So, little ! ook, go forth carrying glad memories to your group and inspiration to the coming classes. May you be but a foretaste of what classes in years to come may do to lift the banner of Vineland High School and perpetuate its memories in some lasting monument.

H. S., Howard’s marked ability for leadership has been manifest. We have here the artist, a painter of fine posters, and de- signs; the student, a hard conscientious worker; and the man, who though under a great physical handicap, faces the world with a grin and grit that are hard to match. He is a devotee of Venus; he often gets so interested in a book that he reads nearly all night. His ability as a speaker, and delight in bold prank help to win us, but it is his sterling personality that we have most respected. Pres.

A special interest in bobbed-haired baby vamps; a desire to make every teacher wish she’d never seen Less” Schureman in her class (but we must admit he’s calmed down considerably since lie’s been a dignified Senior): and a feeling of certainty that the world is his—to go and get. He’s sure to come out some where on the top of the pile, so we’ll probably be voting Leslie R. Schureman for President of the United States” about twenty or thirty years from now.

Won’t tee all be surprised there isn't an alteration (soon).” Of all the many Kiris in our class Etta is wondrous wise. She bakes bread, real bread, and represented the school in an Interstate Contest. As leader she is very successful. Her special study during the last two years was the study of a certain class mate. Rut as before stated our Etta is wise enough to make this study her inspiration instead of the subject of all her day dreams. We’ll never forget Etta because of her wonderful smile and deep blue eyes but we’re wondering if she will forget the many other friends she made in school beside her one best friend.

That is Itilh ’s style.” Billy” was voted the most popular girl of the class of 1923. She has pep galore and makes good use of it. Several responsible positions have been hers, such as Home-Room Secretary. Class Treasurer, and Secretary of the EELS. She is always willing to help everybody in any way pos- sible. When she gets to college, may she be as popular there, with both sexes, as she has been here. Treasurer Senior and Junior Class. Secretary Edward Everett '22. '23. Home Room Officer '22. '23.

Her purpose- ful speech and sincerity are sure to lend power to some good cause after we leave Vineland High School. Her favorite sport is typewriting unless—the game is at Moorestown! You see cousin Jack has a jolly chum! Esscntee ‘23. Rorkkt Hugh Bakkr Classical Edward Everett “As some tall cliff that rears its awful form In external appearance. Bob has many char- acteristics of a real mountain. Very few have scaled the heights and seen the top. And the rock wall is too broad to dodge easily. When anyone meets Bob. he stops! Moreover, he may be forcibly restrained when trying to retreat, for Bob is as sinewy as a Titan. Is it this strength that has caused a certain young lady to stick to him for so long? (We refer to what may be con- sidered a time of day—A. Mk.) Or does his musical ability or his knowledge of radio con- stitute his power of attraction? Or is some other force at work? We should like to know his secret. Orchestra '22. '23. Clan Track '22. '23. BOB VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD IRENE Irene Edyth Barra i.oi ;11 Commercial Edward Everett “Openly quiet, but often she fools us Always a demure miss! Such is the way you are impressed at first, but as acquaintance pro- gresses, Irene changes the first impression. She can easily be called the perfect lady of the class of ’23. In the realm of pianists she can keep step with the best, while in the art of fancy work she leads. In classes she never volunteers to recite but how she does astonish us all with her vast store of knowledge when called on. Then, too, her knowledge extends down into the south where- in is located a “Coed” college. Essentcc Club ‘23. MAY May Bakkaci.oi gii Commercial Edward Everett Only Heaven and she knows Of what she is thinkinff. It way be either books or beaux. Fine scholarship or stylish clothes. A budding authoress who writes idealist tales is May. Somehow she herself seems more like a heroine of one of her tales than just an every- day girl. She is so quiet we are scarcely aware that she is with us: but those who know her best know what a sweet creature she is: and those who frequent the Model Bakery know what an adorable picture she makes behind the counter after school hours. Euftcnlec Club '23. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD SES Estiikk B.Mtiurn Commercial Edward Everett Life is too short to worry At least that’s what Esther thinks and may she always think so. She is a rather abrupt young person but the more you know her the better you like her. and many’s the time she’ll win a laugh from you by her quaint speeches. Ask her about Clifford S. and watch the color come and go. Esther is taking the Commercial Course and al- though she considers that is a very hard course, she is slicking it out, and is going to succeed. LILLIAN Gladys Lillian Bevan Commercial Edward Everett He conquers who endures So does she. Lillian used to say she couldn’t recite before the class, yet now she has become a crack debater! Did we not hang upon every word of that recitation in Assembly not so long ago? And what is more charming than Lillian’s smile? She has conquered herself, her girl friends are numerous. We expect ere long that her acquaint- ances among the boys will also develop into real friendship. It will be a worthwhile friendship too. Esscntcc '23, Home Room Officer '23. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD Thompson Busako Technical Edward Everett What is mind. Xo matter. What is matterf Never mind. We mean by this that Blisard sometimes tries to think a problem through, but just as often he doesn’t bother about it. As business manager of this book, he demonstrated his ability to put across a difficult proposition. Another good quality, if he really has it. is that girls are not supposed to have any influence upon his emo- tions. (?). A true and dependable fellow is Blisard. Science Club '22, '23.

BLIZ BECKY' Rebecca Frances Bkandrikf General Philomathean Earth's noblest thing—a woman perfected Much to our joy, this graduate of 22 4� did not leave us entirely after Commencement. She comes, she goes—and her passing is like the sun- beam; now we have light, now darkness. Her heart’s stolen? How can that be. when the kid- nappers fight among themselves for the possession or the prize? Besides being a good student Rebecca gave many a speech in Assembly, she plays the piano, and plies the pen. and in each cheek, she hath a pretty dimple! February Graduate. Glee Club '20.

VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD :: DORIS Don is Hawthorne Bownk General Edward Everett “Whence is thy learning f Hath thy toil O'er books consumed the midnight oil ” Extra! Probe on dividends discloses that the Standard Oil Co. has been making its excessive profits on sale of oil to an enterprising student of V. H. S. Extra! Such may be the cry of the American newsboy in the near future: for we ordinary children cannot conceive that any mortal girl could master her studies so perfectly as Doris does, without burning the midnight oil. Any- how. we reproach ourselves and almost envy her when we realize the truth of the proverb that. “Diligence is always rewarded.” Salutatorian. BROWNIE Wh.i.iam Kenneth Browne Technical Philomathean “T tc game is up” School is over. Yes. and Ken” has devoted enough of his life to it. The partnership of V. H. S. and Brownie has been dissolved. The first partner remains in town, but to carry on football, basketball, and baseball without this second part- ner. Brownie, is what we call a very hazardous undertaking. “Brownie” is a man with a terrible “rep.” It is said of him that no girl has ever failed to have a case on him three minutes after she has met him. Some of them stick, others strike. Glee Club '20. '21. ‘22. Vice-President '22. Clnss Baseball '21. '22. '23. Clans Basketball '20. '21. '22. '23. Baseball '20. ‘21. '22. '23. Captain '23.

Bii.fam a.ntk Classical Edward Everett There lies a deviltry beneath his mild exterior” Joe has the art of bluffing down to perfection and makes a hit with all the teachers, until he gets found out, and then—! Impersonation is one hobby of his and assuming the mask of exagger- ated etiquette another. These qualities make him an excellent actor. “Teacher, may I ask a ques- tion?”—thereupon Joe takes up so much time with his objectified interrogation points that ordinarily there is no time for a recitation. We hope that some day he will give evidence of having absorbed some of the answers to his own questions. French Play. Class Play. •BUF Rebecca Wake Campbell Commercial Edward Everett “.I maiden with a certain charm That wins the ieorld’s respect.” Rebe” is just plain good! She is kind and so sympathetic that she puts the rest of us to shame. Such a friend too! It takes more than an ordi- nary person to break Itebe’s faith in life, because she understands folks so well. And oh. the hurt look that comes in those blue eyes if anyone says anything unkind. But there’s a great husky chap ready to protect her, who probably holds the “Kee” to her heart.

She is certainly one of those blessed creatures fortunate enough to go thru life with a smile on her face and a song on her lips. We all wonder what the “R” on her sweater means? When it comes to speaking French. Jo can hold her own in the 6th period Class as she ranks first when all but she are absent. Debating, jumping and running also are talents that Jo possesses. Of course the jumping is at conclu- sions; not track-meets. Art Club ‘23. Glee Club '21, '22, Secretary '23. Clnas DebittinK '23. Clan Track '20. '21.

Some think that the only reason Joe made the football team, was that he could trip up a whole line of scrimmages at once, with his long frame! They are mistaken, however, for if Joe tackles life with the same pep that he tackled a Millville Back.” the whole world will soon know the name of Carey. Class Track '22. '23. Football '21, '22.

Beyond the fact that he runs a store outside of school hours, we know very little about Joe. If all of us. however, were as earnest in our studies as he is, the taxpayers would have no grudge against school taxes. When we asked him what he is going to do in life, he said “children.” so he must intend to be a teacher, because we all know Joe loves children. UNCLE JOE BILL William Goodchild Crossi.ky Commercial Edward Everett Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit” William Crossley will now favor us with a violin solo—what could be more enchanting?” The basketball team will be-----. with Crossley— as subs.” We all remember that frequent an- nouncement; and don’t forget the Honor Roll! Bill” was there too. Who could refuse when Crossley was selling tickets? And who could say No.” when Bill” made love? He was surely the typical all-round High School fellow, and deserves success.

To find one’s self may sometimes be a whole life work, but that is well worth while when one has so many hidden talents, as our Dot has. Dot was our star elocution- ist and a very fine one she was too. When she took up drawing and painting her success was equally as great if not greater. When as a maid she took up the tea things the acclamation was greater yet! If you would judge Dot’s character just look into those big innocent brown eyes and you will see nothing but what is divine.

Maiden, uhy wert thou made so goodt” Have you ever seen the combination of ability to study, sportnmnship, fun, and obedience in one girl? If not, you have not met our friend Elizabeth. Her favorite sport is basketball, and she can play! The study most delightful to her is math- ematics. The class of '23 is proud to have Her on their honor list but her brilliance in academic work should not be the cause of overlooking her fine athletic work. The Senior Class was delight- ed to have her represent them at the 1923 Inter- class Meet. Class Track '23. ELIZABETH RUTH Ruth Howki.i. General Edward Everett “Small and neat, winsome and sweet” Tho’ small and rather solemn she puts her whole soul into her violin. She seldom smiles but when she does her sweetness and gentleness makes you want to love her. Ruth’s patience is long enduring and she stands firmly for her opinions. Some day she’ll bring fame and honor to the class of ’23 by her marvelous ability with the violin. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD DOM Dominick Icpoi.ito Classical Edward Everett ‘Hr teas verity par fit knight! '■Doin’’ is a checkerboard. There are more than two colors among the squares, however. We have black for a speaker, a convincing one: green for an athlete, an “I’ll try” one: blue for a man, a dependable one: white for a son. a dutiful one: and among other tints, brilliant red for a lover, a very anient one!

She is modest and just a little shy except with a certain young person who lives on the boundary line between Vineland and Millville! Her outstanding ability is that of making her- self agreeable to everyone she comes in contact with. Some day we’ll be going to a great church in New York to hear Blanche’s silver voice calmly rising and falling over the hushed adience. Glee Club '23.

But when there is mention of music her enthusiasm arouses itself, for she can sing! Her splendid, strong soprano fills the assembly hall with melody. Though she is quiet, they say that her brother has to bring a body-guard home from college to cope with her teasing, and the body-guard likes it too! lolly Baker's Club 20. 21. Glee Club 20. 21. 22.

He has been honored above all other newcomers, for at Assembly on the morning when he arrived, a hearty cheer was given for “Good-looking Kolb.” Among other characteristics which he may have, we have no- ticed these: a shuffling walk (perhaps he can dance!), and a rosy cheek (perhaps—but sh!). Judging from his excellent scholastic record, he will overcome such insinuations easily and soon. Newcomer from Oshkosh, Wisconsin -St. Thomas Preparatory School. Canada. DICK VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD JIMMY Lydklla Alda Leeds General Philomathean “.I hif h ambition, a pleasant disposition, and perseverance are the fundamental assets to a successful life” According to the quotation Lydella will be successful in life. Her ambitions reach the skies and she has practically obtained one. through perseverance which is necessary for success. We wondered during our first year together, whether Lydella would endure all the obstacles Fate put in her path, but Ambition is a strong factor. Quiet, unobtrusive, always ready with a helping hand full of charming music, these qualities have made her much beloved by her classmates of '23. Samuel Lemisch Technical Philomathean “Laugh and be fat” Sam had a little giggle, and everywhere that Sammy went, that giggle was sure to go. Sam’s greatest ambition is to be very slim. His plump- ness however does not detract from his popularity. Everywhere and every time he is the same good- hearted fellow. He seeks out a good time like a wolf on the hunt, and when he gets there—things are sort of lively! His slogan seems to be. “I’ll eat today, and diet tomorrow.” May he soon discover that tomorrow never comes, and then get down to realizing his ambition. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Reuben Levy Classical Edward Everett “What care he for class or book Zero mark or scornful look. ‘•Rube” is no country rustic! Far from it for on occasion who can act like a greater swell” than he? The rest of the time he half works, half fools. When out for basketball or baseball, however, there's no fooling. “Rube” is right there and the others have to hustle. We don’t know what he is going to do after High School but he might become a second-hand goods dealer, for he is the proud possessor of an alarm clock which runs two whole hours at a time and of a regular football sweater which is more holy” than “righteous.” But we have much higher am- bitions for Rube” than this. Pluck will win! Here’s luck. Science Club '23. Claim Baseball '20. '21. '22, '23. Clans Basketball '21. '22. 23. Baseball 22. '23. Basket- ball '23.

If this is a fast age, he is the speed demon. From the way he is continually shooting from place to place with lightning speed, one would think he is always catching a train or going to dinner. He is always on the go. and no one can tell where he will be next, except that he is certain of graduating. He will make an excellent merchant, if acting the part is any in- dication. and his abilities as cornetist are tried and proven. Orchestra '22, '23, Honor Pupil.

Revelling in any science. Carl almost worships electricity. While experi- menting with a high voltage transformer one day he accidentally put a hand to each spark terminal. When he tried to draw away his hand the current was so strong that the heavy apparatus was lifted from the floor. His terribly scarred fingers vouch for the truth of this story. It is men so interpid as this who really accomplish things in the world and we truly expect that the name of Lorber will some day be listed with those ot Edison. Steinmetz. and other modern scientists. Science Club 23. Class Track 23. CARL Miiurkd Jkssii: Madara Commercial Philomathean “None knew thee but to love thee; Nor named thee but to praise. Millie” is truly petite—graceful and light- some as she traverses the halls from class to class. She is gay and usually has a ready an- swer for whoever chances to speak to her. The bane of her life is the fluffy short hair which she tries so hard to do up in a dignified manner. Her friends admire her not only for her pretty face but for her clear, sweet soprano voice with which she has enlivened so many Philo” meet- ings. This year. too. she has enhanced the plat- form by her occupation of the secretary's chair. But take warning, don't presume to inspect her snapshot book ’cause it might spoil her “rep.” You’d be surprised with whom and how she poses! Glee Club 20. 21. 22. Treasurer 20. 21. 22.

Even to selling shoes! She was a member of the Feb- ruary graduating class, and since then has been clerking” in Herron’s.” She is gentle and con- fiding. and her confidence is worth respecting. It was quite a surprise to find at Commencement, that she is an excellent orator too. It must have been our own fault that we didn’t know about it before. February Craduatc VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD Cynthia Lkona Mays Commercial Philomathean There is nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.'' Cynthia with her ever ready smile and will- ingness to help another has proved herself to be a valuable friend. Not only to her class mates is she a friend but to others! For has not everyone seen Cynthia promenading with one who has aroused curiosity? (Especially among the girls). As an extemporaneous speaker Cynthia has led for she captured prizes in each contest. She is a typist of distinguished merit and has many awards which add greatly to her laurels. All in all Cynthia is a true friend, conscientious student and well deserves the best possible.

IULMA CHARLIE Ciiaki.es Henry DkWane Mintlr.n General Edward Everett “Still waters run deep Silence is golden and Charles rarely breaks the silence. We are expecting great things from him as it is usually those who say the least who do the most. Another symptom which is commonly found among great characters and discerned in Charles is a dislike for having their photographs taken. If famous musicians can be distinguished by the length of their hair, this fellow will make a name for himself too. for he is very fantastic in his habits of dress. So it is from all these signs and clues that we predict for him a successful future. Debating Club '19. '20. 21. '22. '23. Art Club '22. '23. Science Club '22. '23. Class Debating '20.

Some of the designs she has concocted would put King Tut to shame and probably you’ll remember the poster for the Senior Play with an adorable French maid who exclaims rapturously.

Ask those who attended the last speaking contests! And we are afraid she has been captured herself by an individual whom she has completely charmed.

She has a better memory than any of us for “wordsigns” in Shorthand. Mary is very prac- tical, but this impresses you more as plain com- mon sense, because of her personality.

As a Junior. Lucy won the affections of a certain Senior who was known by his “Dodge”.” Now in her last year with V. H. S. after such a record, she has a case with a mere Junior! But for all that. Lucy is held in high esteem. Besides being one of the most charming girls in the class, she is a dandy basketball player; on the track, most of the girls take her dust: and her “Why, don't you speak for yourself.

Frances stands out as a good example of the golden proverb.

How big we thought ourselves as we looked forward to those four long years which were ahead of us, and which, after all have seemed so short; but we were soon exposed to the hostile and sneering hazes of the upper classmen, who were altogether in their “mutual sneering.” A short time after our memorable de- but we were led into the assembly room; not being able to lead ourselves. Here Superintendent Reber made a plea to the student body not to be discourteous or rude to the little “Acorns” as we were dubbed, for in time we would become “Sturdy Oaks” in Old Vineland High. We must confess that for the first few weeks we were lost in the immense building, as it seemed to us. But with the aid of the upper classmen we were often able to reach our classrooms just as the tardy bell was ringing. Some of our group were not so fortunate in finding their way so quickly, and were com- pelled to go thru the terrible ordeal of appearing before Mr. Weidner and pro- curing a highly colored piece of cardboard, on which was written, or rather print- ed that magic word, “PASS.” Soon the novelty wore off and the majority of the class settled down to four years of hard work. One of the minority was Mensone who found it VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD more interesting to indulge in slumber, until he was awakened from the midst of his dreams by the teachers. The long dreaded mid-years closed in upon us and then began the cramming, but for some, this mode of study was of no avail and well, you know the results, as they appeared on the bottom of the report cards. In a short time however we were attacked by the spring-fever, but after the finals we climbed the ladder one step farther and found ourselves no longer Freshmen but Sophomores and wise ones at that. And so ends the story of our high school infancy. Sophomore Year By the time the second year rolled around we all had grown into our new positions of being looked up to and not down upon. During this year more inter- est was taken in school activities. In the Boys’ Oratorical Contest our representa- tives were Howard Rote, Eugene Corwin, Leroy Reading and Dominick Ippolito; while three sophomores were entered in the Girls’ Contest; Esther Shaffer, Ruth Small and Dorothy Goldis, who took the third prize. The class debating team was composed of Dunning, Mounier, and Rote, with Corwin as alternate. After a hard battle they were defeated by the Freshmen who won the cup, given by tbe Rexall Pharmacy. Wolfe, owing to his lack of credits debated for the “Acorns;” so the class had a representative on the winning team anyhow. Be- cause he was studying Junior English, Ted Ward debated for the Juniors. From that position he was chosen alternate on the varsity team, and for the first time we felt a personal interest in the team. In athletics Novario, Browne and Reading put ’23 on the map. Football claimed the first husky, the pitcher’s box kept Browne a happy prisoner, and Reading carried off the honors in track. ’23 placed third in the Interclass Meet. The June Examinations came upon us with full force but the class had not neglected their scholastic standing, and the majority passed with good averages. Consolation for those disappointed at their marks was given in the form of “THE SOPHOMORE PICNIC.” A jolly time at Tumbling Dam Park was enjoyed by all who went. One half of our school days were now over but the best was yet to come, for the next two years held twice as many things in store for us as the previous 24 months. Junior Year After a delightful vacation the class returned to enter upon the third year of its high school life. At last we found ourselves upper classmen and the haughty Seniors condescended to mingle with us, while the Freshmen and Soph- omores kept their distance. The teachers became more familiar with us and all this was enough to turn our heads and make us proud. Our first class meeting resulted in the choice of the following leaders: President, Howard Rote; Vice-President, Allan Mitchell; Secretary, Etta Gove; and Treasurer, Elizabeth Hughes. In November came the First Extemporaneous VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD Speaking Contest ever held in V. H. S. The discussion of “Immigration” result- ed in Ted Ward’s receiving the second prize, offered by our fellow-townsman, Mr. Smith, while Ted Wolfe won third. Our other representatives were Cynthia Mays, Rebecca Brandriff and Thompson Blisard. Three social gatherings during the season kept us a gay crowd. Our first dance was during the Christmas vacation. It was an outstanding success. At our party held in honor of St. Patrick on March 17, the costumes and decorations were elaborate and there was plenty of cause to eat, drink and be merry. L ter in the season the Junior-Senior Reception was held at the Studio of Professor Nutt. The orchestral numbers were most excellent and the dancing was heartily enjoyed by the faculty as well as the class members themselves. The main fea- ture of the program was a novelty act (?) by Dr. August Miller, which started some of our classmates to wondering, and according to later reports they are still at it. A number also greatly enjoyed was a ballet dance given by the stu- dents of Professor Nutt. The members of the debating team this year were: Ted Ward, Ted Wolfe, Howard Rote and Louis Mounier, alternate. We were proud to have a speaking member on the varsity in the person of Ted Ward. January 6 was the date of the Boy’s Sixth Annual Oratorical Contest with Ward, Ippolito, Reading, Wolfe, and Rote, speakers from our class. Ward took third, Ippolito fourth and Rote Honorable Mention. One week later the Girls had their contest with Rebecca Brandriff, Dorothy Goldis, who took first, Anna Pogust, who took third, and Madge Moyer, fourth, competing from our class. Three men of the varsity football lineup, Novario, Carey, and Browne signed '23 after their names. In basketball Browne and “Doc.” Winslow did their bit for the school team. Reading and Schureman were consistent winners in Track. Would that both had remained with us for this last season! Browne’s name ap- peared again as part of Vineland’s regular battery, while Levy and Madorno help- ed to make the baseball team what it was—Champion of Cumberland County. In Interclass Track, the Juniors placed third. Speaking for the whole student body, Ward said “Goodbye” to the gradu- ating class at their last Assembly. “’Twas a grand and glorious feeling” to be the highest in the school, but we have missed last year’s Seniors sorely. An- other picnic completed a never-to-be-forgotten year. During the summer vacation it was learned that Miss Frances Smith had resigned her position after thirty-eight years of wonderful service. Great sor- row was expressed thruout the entire school, and many thanks were given for her faithfulness and loyalty to Vineland High School. Senior Year The seventh day of September rolled around once more and with some- what saddened countenances we resumed our studies, realizing that this was our VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD last year. After the excitement and rush of getting settled was over, assembly was called and four dignified upper class-men gave eloquent speeches. They advised the incoming “Acorns’’ to follow the straight and narrow path of duty. Rules and Regulations were explained by Ted Ward; Ted Wolfe spoke on atten- dance; Louis Mounier told of the need of a good quality of school spirit; and Agranovsky spoke on the value of leadership. At the first meeting of the year, Rote was elected President; Schureman, Vice-President; Gove, Secretary; and Hughes, Treasurer. Our President especially has been a real leader! Football this season was a great success. We were awarded the Class B South Jersey Championship. Novario as Captain, Doc. Winslow, Ken Browne, Ted Wolfe, and Joe Carey were the standbys of the team from the Senior ranks. On November 24th, “The Courtship of Miles Standish” was presented by the Senior English class. The cast included Lucy Sawyer, Priscilla; Leslie Schure- man, John Alden; and Ted Stratton, Miles Standish. Poor Ted did his level best to win the affections of Lucy but for some unknown reason she looked more favorably upon Leslie. But now Jack has come along and upset the whole prop- osition. Due to a superabundant number of other parties, due also to a severe storm, very few turned out for our Christmas Dance. Instead of being a fun-arousing affair, it was the shekel-losing event of the year! The “Extempo” contest found the class well honored in the decisions, as Ward took second prize, and Mays third. Other representatives from ’23 were Moyer, Blisard, Gillette, Minturn, and Woskoff. In the Public Speaking Con- test for Boys, Ward, Wolfe, Wright, Woskoff, Ippolito, and Rote participated. Rote was awarded third prize, and Woskoff received Honorable Mention. Moyer, Goldis, Scheiber and Pogust were in the Girls’ Contest; Scheiber winning third, and Goldis Honorable Mention. On January 17, the musicians of the class, assisted by several outside friends, gave the first Senior Class Concert. Later in the year the Musical Clubs of the entire school gave another concert. Adeline Tomasso, Elsie Stratton, Blanche Jardine, and Bill Crossley from our class, were among the soloists. Miss Parr cannot receive too much credit for such an excellent program. In debating this year our Boys’ team went all thru a series of debates, only to meet defeat at the hands of the Sophomore Girls, six votes to seven. Ward, Wolfe, and Wright, with Rote as alternate were the members of this team; while Moyer, Carnegie, Small, and Mays made up the personnel of our Girls’ team which did very creditable work in defeating the Juniors. Wolfe as captain and Wright made up our contribution to the school team that beat Atlantic City. Ward again made the varsity which this year turned in two victories, over Mill- ville and Bridgeton, thereby gaining the Rutgers cup. Surely three victories for V. H. S. in one year’s debating are not bad. This is the fourth year out of seven in which V. H. S. has won the Championship of our group. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL ------ 5. THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD As athletics are written up in detail in another part of the Year-Book, we will only claim the honor here of having furnished the following school athletes who have won Vs this year: Browne and Winslow, Sawyer and Prentiss in Basket- ball ; Browne, Levy, and Madorno in Baseball; in track our men did not succeed in winning letters (for that matter we tasted the dregs of defeat even in the Inter- class Meet). One of the hits of the year was the publication of the Essentee by the Senior Commercial Department. It consisted of school news, editorials, practical jokes, well written essays, etc., and we congratulate Mr. Crossley, the editor-in-chief, on his fine work. The next interesting event on the program of the school in which the Seniors had an active part was a sketch, “The Clothesline,” given by the Commercial Department. Miss Waxman the leading lady was supported by Grace Bagg, “Punk” Smith, and “Rebe” Campbell from our class. We take this opportunity of congratulating Miss Little, for it was due to her efforts that the playlet was a success. Going back a little bit in this year's history we wish to note a very eventful occasion in the life of the whole town. It was the school’s participation in the parade celebrating the dedication of Landis Avenue. It seemed quite evident that we Seniors made a decided hit in our costumes, inasmuch as the judges awarded a prize to our class. We also put on a very striking float with Elsie Stratton representing the class of ’23. This feature met with instant approval all along the line of march. February 1923 marked the departure of the first mid-year graduates. This division of our class had eight members enrolled on its scrolls: Andonetta Maineiro, Rebecca Brandriff, Leslie Schureman, Ferdinand Westphal, Philip Woskoff, Allan Mitchell, Hugh Newcomb, and John Trabuchi. The graduates appeared in cap and gown; and it is to their credit that from such a small group, they got up such a fine Commencement Program. One of the most enjoyable plays of the year was the French play, “Beauty and the Beast,” which was a great success, due to the efforts of Miss Dodson and Miss Deveney. All the parts were taken by Seniors—Adeline Tomasso, Ferdinand Westphal, and Bernard Lieberman filling the premier roles. And then to cap the French play, our Senior Play was given under the direction of Mrs. Clippinger. It was a distinct success. The proceeds will be used to defray the expenses of the class on the Washington trip. This play was the first given in V. H. S. by anv graduating class, and we hope that in the Senior Concert, the Senior Play, and “The Senior Class Record” of ’23, we have laid the foundations for three annual institutions of the school. In this way June drew around while we were still trying to end some of the extra work with which every Senior of any note is burdened. I he Juniors had been casting envious eyes upon us for the last few weeks, but their envy ceased when like a thunderbolt, examinations struck us. Everyone recovered, however, VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD and things once more were bright. Thus ends the class history of ’23, for fate in all its cruelty compels us to move on into a greater span of life. We must leave our Alma Mater and go out to use the lessons learned in V. H. S. as a guide-book to help us over the obstacles that will confront us. So now—Farewell old Vineland High, we shall always remember your precepts. Farewell to the Faculty who have taught us so many lessons thru their work and patience. Farewell to our friends who have made our High School days what they have been; they will always be enshrined among our choicest memories. In closing, we .promise that we, members of the class of ’23 will endeavor to uphold the honors of V. H. S.; to make our friends proud of us; and to make our faculty feel repaid for their efforts towards our success.

MILDRED MADARA MILDRED SMITH :: THE 19Z3 SENIOR RECORD CLASS WILL Miss Grace Bagg, who slings a wicked typewriter, leaves an enviable record to any lower classman who can catch up to her. There is a notable example of the uplift work that the Senior class has done this year. Mr. Robert Baker, the champion fife-player of the V. H. S. orchestra leaves his loving likness to Miss McKillip, another one of those unfortunate Juniors, who should have started school a year earlier. Miss Barrett and Miss Jardine have asked me to announce that they hate to leave at all for they know for sure that the Millville Traction Co. will go into bankruptcy since they will no longer grace the inside ol the wonderful antique furniture that the company runs. Mr. Joe Buifamante, better known as the “Duke” bequeathes all his estates and moneys to the Junior class. We feel sure that the Juniors will appreciate the “Duke's” generosity altho there isn’t much to it. Miss Lillian Bevan, who was the belle of Tort Norris, leaves her sweet and cheery ways to Mr. Heaton. Miss Doris Bowne leaves behind her a record that the Juniors should live up to, “There's a reason, no, not grapenuts but her Mother.” Miss May Barraclough wills that ever-ready smile of hers to the Gloomy Gus of the Junior class. Miss Irene Barraclough leaves her deepest sympathies for Peter Musso as she feels that he isn’t responsible for his actions, but, she knows, it isn t his fault. Mr. Blisard who is as essential in Mr. Evan's laboratory as a whistle is to a traffic cop, leaves his chemical action to Mr. Harry Barber, whom we feel assured needs something on this order. :: THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Miss Rebecca Brand riff who is rather handsome but not so bright as is evidenced by her presence on the honor roll wills her taking ways to Mr. Charles Pearson, so he can take home his books every night Mr. Ken Browne wills his absent ways to Mr. Eugene Lozier. Incidently folks, neither one of these people believe in attending school more than twice the same week. Uncle Joe Cernigliaro leaves his fatherly ways to Mr. Ralph Lewis. Now don’t abuse them Ralph old dear. Mr. Joe Carey, who can recite history books backward, bequeathes his genius manners to Bucky Read. Mr. Read is sorely in need of something like this. Mr. Bill Crossley bequeathes to some one else the job of sitting on the plat- form in assembly and having Mr. Lowden blow his not only melodious but odious notes into his ear. A dirty proposition we call it. No, not the ear, Barney Google, but Mr. Lowden’s pipe-organ. Miss Rel ecca Campbell, who by the way, is no relation to the man who smothers a sliver of pork with a bunch of misseles known as beans which are merely nothing but badly sun-burned peas; leaves her sisterly ways to her brother. Miss Dot Goldis who is always drawing pictures of people like the dog- catcher, Asbury Brown, and Mr. Weidner wills her drawing ways to Mr. Bill Walmesly so he can draw up his marks next football season. Mr. Gillette who promises to be Spark-Plug’s only rival of note leaves that “catch me girls” expression of his to Mr. Larry Milstead. Miss Hobart who slings a wicked pedal, leaves her bicycle to Ferd Fix so he can ride up to Pitman and back. Miss Howell who handles a violin like Paul Winslow does his Ford wills her playing ability to Mr. Martin Levy. He needs it. Miss Elisabeth Hughes leaves her petit French ways to Miss Betty Beecroft. Let us say that there is no room for comment. Mr. Ippolito leaves his job of paying out the Debating club funds to any other responsible treasurer. 30 dollars a week isn’t bad pay. Trouble is that you don’t get 30 dollars a week. Miss Kimball, whose statements carry quite a lot of weight, leaves her sweet remembrances to Mr. John Selover better known as “Why pupils go to Mr. Weidner’s office.” Mr. Sam Lemisch wills his rather large ways to Mr. Peanut Gavin. Let us all hope that the aforesaid Peanut grows, for one of these days they’ll arrest him for smoking cigarettes in the cradle. Honestly folks that boy is so small, you have to look twice and then you only see half of him. Miss Leeds and Miss Pollock leave to the other Minotolians the joys and bumps of riding to school every morning midst the sweet environments of South Jersey such as ash-cans, chicken-houses and cow-barns. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD Mr. Carl Lorber better known as “Old Man Radio Himself,” leaves behind him the memory of the good old days when lie used to set up an experiment for assembly and have someone start the chemical action during the singing. Mr. Rube Levy wills his title of Rabbi to the next good-looking Irishman that plays on the basketball team. Mr. Bernard Lieberman who is quite an actor bequeathes his job as the John Barrymore of V. H. S. to Mr. John Huntress as he knows that good actors are always popular with the fair sex. Miss Mainero wills those dark ways of hers to the janitor whom she doesn’t think is dark enough. Here’s to the Janitor for he’s a mighty man. Mr. James Mensome, better known as “why girls leave home,” bequeathes his enviable title to Mr. Fred Minturn. Mr. Charles H. Minturn leaves those charming eyes of his together with his cuff links and coat to the next boy in the school who has no cuffs. We fear that someday Mr. Minturn will die of exposure. Mr. Allan Mitchell wills that “school girl complexion” to Mr. Harry Wein- traub. Take good care of it Harry. Miss Moyer heartily agrees with anything that Ferdie has to say. Miss Helma Miekka who first saw the light of day in Sweden, says that she has only one thing to leave and that is her regrets that Mr. Weidner is getting bald-headed. Very thoughtful of Miss Miekka, is it not? Miss Mildred Madara leaves all her vocal chords to Mr. George Smith. Take good care of them Smithy dear and don’t let them break. Miss Cynthia Mays leaves her job of taking the furthermost extremity of a perspiring canine and placing it between the crummy environments of a piece of bread known as a roll, which in Fnglish means the position of chief dog dispenser in the V. H. S. lunchroom. Mr. Dan Madorno leaves to Mr. Bill Elwell the most honorable position of chief can-opener in our far-famed lunchroom. Mr. Hugh Newcomb who has a nose so badly bent that every time he sneezes he blows his hat off, leaves his Irish ways to Miss Patsy O’Neil. Mr. Novario, our all-round man leaves some of his avoirdupois to Miss Pau- line Hanson who might make use of it hither and thither. No folks, Mr. Novario is no relation to Fatty Arbucklc. Mr. Herbert Ozias who slings a wicked solution of S. O. S. and R. S. . P., leaves his laboratorious mannerisms to Mr. Wainwright, who no doubt will play left halfback on the chemistry club this year. Miss Molly Paterson leaves her Scotch brogue to Mr. Nathan Agranovsky. Miss Eleanor Perino bequeathes her silent ways to Miss Dot Waxman, better known as “why teachers leave their happy high schools.” Miss Anna Pogust wills her front teeth, both of them, to the Janitor in case that he gets in a fight with Mr. Heaton. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD Miss Possenti leaves her Frenchy ways and her freckles to Mr. Israel Kramer. Miss Anna Prentiss leaves her broken nose to anyone who can smell thru the aforesaid. Georgie Patton wills his job of trying to sit in the seat comfortable with a fellow like Joe Carey occuping the other seven-eighths. Miss Tory Pennino, and we might say for the sake of differentiating that Tory is the one with the dark hair, leaves her Senior ways to her sin-twister. Mr. Howard Rote, President of this conglameration known as a class, leaves to the next good-looking boy his job. The beautiful part of being President is that there is hardly any work, and a huge salary to boot. Miss Frances Hugh leaves some of her hair to the most bald-headed Junior, oaccrding to the latest statistics, if Miss Hugh’s hair was placed end to end it would reach from Millville to Constantinople via Newfield. Miss Lucy Sawyer leaves sweet memories to Mr. Jack Kessler, one of these Juniors who should have started school a year earlier. Mr. I ill Scheer, otherwise known as “Rudolf Vassilino,” leaves his mascu- line, handsome ways to the best looking boy in the Junior class. Fight it out among yourselves boys we haven’t time here. Miss Scheiber will make her own will as Mr. Joseph would rather have it that way. Mr. Les Schureman who has been taking a post-graduate course at Kimble’s college leaves sweet remembrances to those who have loved and lost. Miss Klsie Stratton leaves those glowing tresses of hers to the Janitor so he can have the school warm in the mornings. Mr. Ted Stratton, who has a voice like the exhaust of Doc. Evan’s baby- coach, leaves it to Mr. Pennino so he can crown the boys in the lower regions. Miss Esther Schafer is quite undecided as to what to leave, but nevertheless she admits that she is glad to leave as the strain of listening to Miss Little every- day is quite nerve-racking. The Misses Smith and Carnegie are busily engaged in writing a l)ook entitled “Great Men,” featuring Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Milstead, which they will leave to latter generations as a memoir. Miss Ruth Small who is not so very large says that she has nothing to leave, and since she felt that way about it, I told her not to take everything as someone may need her desk next year. Mr. John Trabuchi, who will never go to heaven since he parts his hair and carries burnt matches wills his modest ways to Miss Dorothy Dallett. Miss Adeline Tomasso who is our star actress like a true star leaves her best wishes to the boys and girls in the Junior class, to say nothing of the toddlers in the Freshman class who someday, we hope, will learn to walk. Doctor and Mrs. Winslow will their loving ways, one and inseparable to VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL :: THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Mr. Doctor Corson and his affinity, who is very conspicuous by her absence. Let us hope that it is only temporary. Deputy George Wright bequeathes his job of holding open the door every assembly morning so that the Seniors could pass thru. By the way, there are quite a few Seniors who wouldn’t have passed that, if it hadn’t been for the “Dep.” Mr. Ted Ward bequeathes his elongnated ways to Mr. Beecroft. We ser- iously hope that the aforementioned Beecroft will not extend them any further as the school-board does not want to raise the door-sills. Miss Edna Williams didn’t know what to leave, so we told her just to leave and she had a hard time doing that. Mr. Phil WoskoflLleaves to the fortunate?, mortals that remain at Vineland High the memory of Rubenstein tickling the keys of his baby-grand. That piece is as attached to WoskofT as a piece of pork is to a can of Campbell’s “best.” Miss Kathryn Wentz wills to Mr. Reber her art of riding a horse. We feel that Mr. Reber worked to hard and should get out in the open more often. Wouldn’t it be nice to see Mr. Reber canter up to the school on a horse every morning? I guess we’ll have to chip in, and buy Mr. Weidner a mule. While gazing over the list I found that Mr. and Mrs. Ferd Westphal leave their best love to those who want it. Ah! there is a happy couple. More power to them. Edwin Wolfe THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Home Room Organizations The first steps toward student government were taken in 1921 when the school formed Home Room organizations. The purpose was to develop leader- ship and also to aid the teachers and principal in keeping up the high standards of our school. Each room drew up a constitution providing for a president, vice-president, secretary and deputy, and an organized system of working. New officers are elected every semester.

Rev. Dr. King, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, submitted the names Philomathean and Edward Everett. The purpose of the societies was to increase the interest in, and practice of, debating and declamation together with music and literature. Part of the first Friday afternoon in each month is set aside for the presen- tation of the program of the society in charge. Each society holds its meeting on alternate months. In order to excite a spirit of friendly rivalry and interest between the two societies the Hoard of Education presented a cup for which there is an annual contest. At the end of every school year each society picks its best talent in each of the branches of literature and music and this is presented in two consec- utive meetings, before judges, who award points to the persons who appeared. The society receiving the greater number of points is awarded the cup, which is presented to the president at the commencement exercises of the graduating class. Since the first presentation of the cup in 1904, the Edward Everett or “Eels” have won it nine times and the Philomathean or “Philos” ten times.

However, at the beginning of this year a group of fellows, who declared the word failure was not in their vocabulary, determined to organize a Science Club. After talking it up among the students and working up interest, the Club was organized. A constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: T. J. Blisard, President; L. R. Schureman, Vice-President; Dominick Ippolito, Secretary and Treasurer. Programs on Chemistry, Physics, Mechanics, Aviation, and En- gineering were prepared. Many outside speakers such as, Aviator Gillette, Me- chanic H. G. Walls, and Engineer Muller gave the Club their experiences and ideals concerning their respective vocation. Coming in contact with such suc- cessful men who use the principles which are studied in Science, in their every day life, emphasized the importance of our Science Department. However, the members prepared the majority of programs among themselves. In this way tlie members learned to do things for themselves and many educational and interesting programs were prepared in this way. The club soon became very popular and over three times the original ten charter members were enrolled. At the beginning of the second term new officers were elected as follows: H. H. Ozais, President; Clarence Mick, Vice-President; Dominick Ippolito, Sec- retary and Treasurer. Many good programs were presented during the new term. Chief Ickeringill of the City Electrical Department and Engineer Muller were two experts who gave very fine talks on their line of Science. The Club also visited several places of interest such as the Central Ice and Cold Storage Plant and the City Power Plant. However, the climax to the whole term of work was in form of a program given before Assembly. A radio receiving and transmitting set was brought by Mr. Unsworth who gave some demonstrations with them. Some other interesting demonstrations were given in Chemistry and Physics. This fine program was to carry out the purpose of the Science Club and did much to create interest in our Science Department. The officers this year, and many of the members, were Seniors who are leaving this year, which will make a serious loss for the Club. However, the Seniors believe that the next year’s Class-men will carry on and improve the work of the Club, finally accomplishing the purpose of the Club and make it a permanent organization of our school.

After hearing the splendid programs given each year, everyone realized the value of having music in the High School. The concerts, which the students produced, expressed their willingness to spend their time with music. In 1904 the Cecilian Glee Club was organized with a large enrollment under Mrs. C. M. Gray then known as Miss Myrtle M. Dicky. Her appealing per- sonality and enthusiasm for the success of the Glee Club was the stepping-stone towards the success of this organization. It was due to her influence that a sum of more than three hundred dollars was donated toward the school library and the purchasing of a piano. loiter under the supervision of Mrs. Troost, an operetta “The Pennant” was successfully produced. Next another operetta “Sylvia” was produced be- fore vast audiences in the Auditorium. Since then many musical programs have been rendered consisting of Glee Club Songs, Trios, Duets, Quartettes and Solos, while the High School Orchestra has supplied many selections. Those who were at that time just emerging from the grammar school can readily recall the enthusiasm over the Glee Club, for it is well known and every- one deems it an honor to hold membership in such a successful organization. Time was, when the Glee Club was the only activity of the school in the way of Clubs but recently the Art Club, Radio Club, Science Club and Math. Club have been organized and arc very successful. But the Glee Club still ranks among the activities of the school. When Mrs. Troost left Vineland High, Miss Helen Parr stepped in her place. Miss Parr with her ever ready enthusiasm plus her willingness anchored herself in the hearts of the students. Much credit is due her for the success of the last concert. The program was rendered without a hitch and the audience felt their evening well spent. If one enjoys music he should belong to the Glee Club for that is the musical activity of the school. Enjoyment of singing and mingling with other music lovers is gained. It supplies splendid training and no one knows but what he may want to go before the footlights as the student did who took the leading pait in “Sylvia.” Surely this training led her one step nearer her aim. Then, too, the audience receives enjoyment from the music which the Club produces.

H. S., the Debating Club has been and is of chief importance. We organized early in September this season with Theodore Ward re-elected President, Howard Rote chosen Vice-President, John Ward, Secretary, and Dominick Ippolito, Treasurer. A canvass of all Home-Rooms increased our membership considerably, and for that reason, the extemporaneous debates, held at every meeting from Septem- ber to January, were much better than last year. A series of talks by Mr. Selover on the fundamentals of Parlimentary practice, proved very worthwhile. The first important activity of the Club in the Fall, was the making of the arrange- ments for the Second Annual Extemporaneous Speaking Contest. A student from Rutgers College, came down at our request and gave an inspiring talk on Debating before the whole school. To prepare for the Interscholastic Debating season, several meetings were devoted to the discussion of the proposed questions for debate. Mr. Weidner, Theodore Ward, and Nathan Agranovsky, were sent as delegates to the Rutgers Conference, held early in January. Although the ship-subsidy proposition seem- ed about 50-50; we chose the Negative for the Millville debate by a large majority. Because we agreed to have separate Ciris’ and Boys’ Class Teams, many aspiring debaters turned out. Four of our members, Mounier, Steelman, Agranovsky and Kulp, accepted the invitation of the Junior Mechanics Lodge to present the subsidy question, and gave them a real entertainment. Since Atlan- tic City had requested a debate with our second team, twice as many students as usual were chosen from the class teams to represent V. H. S. Regular meetings of the Debating Club were discontinued while the teams were being whipped into shape by Coach Weidner. At a special meeting just after the Millville debate, Wendall Gifford, a V. H. S. graduate and our star debater a few years ago, spoke to the Club. From his talk we got some idea of the methods of college debating employed at Penn State, for Mr. Gifford is a member of their debating team. Just before the Bridgeton debate, Edwin Wolfe represented our Club and school in the North Jersey Extemporaneous Speaking Contest. Against the pick of the state, he captured fourth place, and returned home in triumph. Gold “V”s were awarded to the first team of the school, and to Edwin Wolfe, while the other three members of the second team received silver “V”s. For the rest of the year extemporanous speeches were in order, and all this practice will surely mean that in the future more graduates of V. H. S. will be good speakers than ever before. Such is our record. What do you think of it? VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL :: ..... jggggggjjj THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Orchestra About fifteen years ago, Mrs. Troost, then music director of the schools, first organized the V. H. S. Orchestra. From that time, there never ceased to be an orchestra of remarkable ability in the school. The members come and go and at times it has seemed that the vacancies would greatly decrease the high standard that had been set by the members in the past but some one has always been found to fill the empty chairs so well that the standard has never decreased, and has, if anything, increased. With the increased enrollment in the school and the widening interest in music we have reason to look for a very bright future for the well known High School Orchestra of Vineland. After the resignation of Mrs. Troost, Miss Farr came to Vineland as music instructor and has also directed the orchestra very capably. The membership of the club has increased rapidly the past year and the school can now boast of an orchestra with twenty-five capable members. The Roll For The Past Year is as Follows: First Violins: William Crossley Nathan Agranovsky Martin Levy Philip Woskoff Adelina Tomasso Frances Schieber Mary Dunning Second Violins: Frances I gg Adeline McKillip Orlando Passen Robert Clippinger Sidney Joseph Sidney Rosenthal Saxaphones: William McGeorge Earl Johnstone Clarinets: Clarence Mick Albert Stratton Cornets: Bernard Lieberman Kenneth Corson Frank Sharp Trombone: Warren Scull Flute: Robert Baker Piano: Theodore Ward Drums: Allan Mitchell Howard Legg THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD The Essentee Club In September of this year the Commercial Class of our High School gather- ed together to form a club. It was decided to retain the name “Essentee” which had been chosen for the Club of the class of 1922. At this meeting William Crossley was chosen for president and editor. Dorothy Waxman was then selected for our secretary and treasurer. May Bar- raclough and Mildred Smith were voted for as associate editors. This Club was organized for the purpose of promoting interest in typewriting and stenography. It develops co-operation among the pupils, because they work together in order to accomplish their purposes. Instruction in filing is taken up in this Club. After the Club was organized, work was begun on a magazine which is also called the “Essentee.” The magazine is composed of stories, essays, jokes, poems, cartoons, and High School news. Exchanges were made with the “Li-Tah-Ni” from Manasquan, New Jersey. In this book was the following comment: “To the Essentee Club of Vineland High School: Yours is a truly original magazine. We like the design. A paper minus advertisements is new to us.” Other exchanges were “The Echo” from Shiloh, New Jersey, “Chips” from Paulsboro, New Jersey, “Ripamono” from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, and the “Cedar Chest” from Toms River, New Jersey. Miss Little, who is the Commercial teacher is the chief inspiration for our work. She is to be complimented for ability in writing and directing a play called “ I he Clothes Line.” The scene was laid in an employment agency. The characters were Grace Bagg, as the clerk; Dorothy Waxman, the applicant for a position, while Mildred Smith and Rebecca Campbell were authorities on the prop- er dress for women in commercial work. This play was given first in a class room and was such a pronounced success that it was repeated in the morning assembly. Another event in the year’s work of this Club was a word-sign contest with the Juniors, which was won by the members of the “Essentee.” On the eighteen of April another meeting was held at which Ruth Levy, a member of last year’s class spoke on “The Work of a Stenographer.” Grace Bagg Irene Barraclough May Barraclough Esther Barrett Lillian Bevan William Crossley Kebecea Campbell Beatrice Eaton Miss Hoffman Members Cynthia Mays Daniel Madorno Mildred Madara Mary Pollock Anna Pogust Esther Shaffer Mildred Smith Theodore Stratton Honorary Members Marie Relyea Dorothy Waxman Kathryn Wentz Edna Williams Paul Winslow George Wright Hilma Miekka Miss Little VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Art Club The Art Students who met and organized an Art Club, has as their purpose to create a greater interest in Art. Then, too, classes were large and conditions would not permit the most interesting projects in Art to be pursued. Officers were elected on January 5, 1923 and as soon as possible the Club Rules were accepted. New members have been voted in and much interest has been aroused. Under Miss Kauffman, who is a most able instructress, the Art Club has accomplished many projects. Due to her charming manner she created on inter- est in beautifying the drawing class room. Armed with brushes, cleaning pow- ders, dust cloths and aprons the members thoroughly cleaned the room. Then came the real art of redecorating attractively, and it is hard to realize that it is the same room. The Club has made fine posters for Concerts and Plays while many weekly meetings were spent sketching from models in costumes. As spring advances preparations are on for outdoor sketching; the first sketch will be the first house built in Vineland. The exhibition on May 25 will show the fine work which Miss Kauffman has been directing.

Mathematics Club The Mathematics Club of Vineland High School was organized on Wed- nesday, December 12, 1922, under the supervision of the two mathematic teachers, Miss Weidner and Mrs. Strong, with the purpose of furthering interest in the study of mathematics. At each meeting roll is called and those present answer with statement of a theorem or problem or the life of some great mathematician. Any member so de- siring may challenge any one to prove his or her statement. Our programs which have so far been very interesting have consisted of a “History of Famous Mathematicians” by Alfred Plimack, a talk on “Paper Folding” by Evelyn Jordan, a well planned demonstration of “Magic Squares” by Dorothy Zukerman and many other equally useful mathematical recreation. Members of the club are busy at present preparing a rather novel math- ematical play to be given in the near future before the club.

In September 1920 a team of three girls, who were Captain Alice Mounier, Etta Gove, and Dorothy Gavin represented V. H. S. and the State of New Jersey at the Eastern States Expedition at Springfield, Mass. There they competed with many teams in two contests when they captured second place in both bread demonstration and bread judging. Each member of the team received two bronze medals. When the girls met in the fall of 1921 under Miss Sayford, to organize, Rebecca Brandriff was chosen President; Alice Mounier, Vice-President; Etta Gove, Secretary and Dorothy Gavin, Treasurer. Very interesting meetings were held every other week during school time and the results were marked.

H. S. do if it were not for the lunch room? Every one must eat, and this department is a great accommodation to those who live too far from the school to go home for lunch. The class of 1923 takes with it three of the “behind the counter staff”— Cynthia Mays who has had charge of the cocoa and milk, William Crossley who cheerfully served the doggies and last but not least Daniel Madorno who made it his business to separate the buyer from his wealth. Besides being cashier he acted as bookkeeper. Both Miss Sayford, who was in charge the first semester and Mrs. Weylman who succeeded her this last half, deserve a great deal of credit for their efforts in submitting a tasty, wholesome, and attractive menu. Credit should also go to Mrs. Pearson, who prepares the food for consumption. THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Athletic Association The present Athletic Association's Constitution was drawn up by Prof. Weidner in the summer of 1915 and adopted in the fall of that year. Rules governing all the athletic activities and awarding of letters of our school were laid down in the constitution. Some points have been changed, however. The formalities of meetings, etc., are not adhered to strictly at present, due partly to the great number of school activities. Prof. Weidner is acting president and Mr. H. D. Evans is treasurer.

Upon the toss-up Vineland won the choice of side of the question and chose the Negative. Through the organization of the debating club it was decided that this year a girls’ debating team should be formed for each class in the inter-class debates. In the inter-class debating the Senior boys won coining through with unanimous decisions over the lower classes. The Sophomore girls defeated the girls of the other classes and as both winning teams had the negative side of the question the Senior boys were forced to change their sides and one week later the Senior boys and Sophomore girls clashed in rivalry for the Championship Cup. The result was the Girls were given the decision by a vote of 7 to 6. The teams to represent the school were now chosen and as Atlantic City’s second team desired a debate with Vineland, a second debating team was initiated in the school. The members of the first team were, Theodore Ward, Nathan Agranovsky, Ruth Chisholm and Louis Mounier. Those who composed the sec- ond team were George Wright, Marion Murray, Edwin Wolfe, and Merton Steelman as alternate. Weeks of good hard training followed and on March 9, 1923 the second team journeyed to Atlantic City. The Atlantic City debating team was very well versed on the question and certainly put up a splendid argument but Vineland High who always wins her contests triumphed over them with a decision of 2 to 1. This was the only school with which the second team debated but next year we hope that they will have as great an opportunity as the first team. Due to the fact that Theodore Ward was taken sick shortly before the Millville debate, Louis Mounier took his place. At last the long looked for night arrived and to help along with matters the rain came down in torrents. However this did not stop a large body of the school students from supporting the school at Millville. The air was full of excitement for had not Millville won last year for the first time in six years and it was the duty of the team to avenge this. And they did for the decision stood unanimous in favor of Vineland. The following day Ward, Agranovsky and Mounier went to Woodbury. As Bridgeton won the debate from Salem, Vineland and Bridgeton were to fight for the championship on April 16. Both winning teams had the negative side of the question and it was necessary to toss for sides and place. Agranosky won the toss and we chose to keep our side of the question. Another month of coaching and the team had a debate so finely worked out that we could have, defeated any school in the state arguing upon this question. On the evening of April 16 we met Bridgeton and defeated her, winning the championship of our group. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATING TEAM 1923 THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Boys’ Speaking Contest At the Vineland High School Auditorium, Friday evening, January 5, 1923, the Boys Seventh Annual Public Speaking Contest took place. A fairly large crowd of citizens displayed their interest in this literary line by being present to hear the young men deliver their orations. The speaking order was as follows: “The American Flag,” George Wright; “The Traitor’s Deathbed,” Edwin Wolfe; “Call to Arms,” Theordore Ward; “Makers of the Flag,” Dominick Ippolito. After this number a vocal solo was rendered by Miss Mildred Madara, which was greatly appreciated by all. “How Ruby Played” was then given by Philip Woskof; “The Fiddle Told,” by Nathan Agranovsky; “The Vision of War,” Lawrence Milstead. William Crossley then played a violin solo which was much enjoyed followed by “Anthony’s Address,” bv Earl Johnstone; “Toussaint L’Ouverture,” by Howard Rote, and “The Rescue of Lygia,” by Louis Mounier, Jr. The orchestra played during the intermission after which Mr. Cortlandt Williams, chairman of the evening announced the Judges’ decision. Louis Mounier was awarded the first prize of a five dollar gold piece, Earl Johnstone the second prize of two dollars and a half in gold and Howard Rote the third prize of one dollar. Philip Woskoff received Honorary Mention. Girls’ Speaking Contest One week later a group of ten girls participated in the seventh annual public speaking contest for girls. The auditorium was crowded out into the halls and great interest was displayed by the public. The contest was a very close and exciting one as the chairman announced there were only two points of difference between the first prize and honorable mention. The following speakers and their selections were given in this order: “The Light from Over The Range,” Patricia O’Neill; “The Vision In The Cabin,” Madge Moyer; “Ole Mistis,” Catherine Cunningham; “An Old Sweetheart of Mine,” Mary Hutchings. Following this Nathan Agranovsky rendered a violin solo; “Nydia’s Sacrifice,” Dorothy Zukerman; “One Niche the Highest,” Adelaide Holies; “The Soul of the Violin,” Dorothy Goldis; Adelina Tomasso then favored the audience with a vocal solo; “Connor,” Frances Scheiber; “Your Best and Hardest Job,” Naomi Gillespie; “The Execution of Sidney Carton,” Anna Pogust. During the inter- mission of the Judges Misses Ruth Small and Elsie Stratton played a piano duet. Mr. Cortlandt Williams then presented the first prize to Miss Catherine Cunning- ham, second prize to Miss Frances Scheiber, third prize to Miss Adelaide Holies and Honorary Mention to Dorothy Goldis. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL Extemporaneous Speaking Contest Friday evening, November 17, 1922, at the High School the second annual extemporaneous speaking contest took place. The question for the year was “America and the Re-habilitation of Europe.” The contestants studied the question in all its phases for six weeks prior to the event. One hour before the contests they drew lots for their special topics and prepared them. The following persons participated and spoke in this order: John Ward, Wallace Gillette, Charles Minturn, Philip Woskoff, Louis Mounier, Ruth Chisholm, Nathan Agranovsky, Thompson Blisard, Madge Moyer, Cynthia Mays, and Theodore Ward. After the fourth speaker Earl Johnstone rendered a violin solo; Adelina Tomasso sang a solo when the eighth speaker had finished. During the inter- mission when the judges were retiring for their decision the High School Orches- tra played several selections. Mr. Reber then awarded first prize of ten dollars to Ruth Chisholm; the second of five dollars to Theodore Ward, the third of two and one half dollars to Cynthia Mays, the fourth of one dollar to Louis Mounier and Honorable Mention to Nathan Agranovsky. Senior Concert On the evening of January 17, 1923, the Senior Class ran a musical concert at the High School Auditorium. The orchestra was under the direction of William Crosslcy and much credit is due him in making it such a wonderful success. The opening number of the program was “Troubador Waltz” played by the orchestra. Following this, in her usually pleasing manner, Mildred Madara rendered a vocal solo. George Wright then recited a piece entitled “Counting the Eggs.” A cornet-clarinet duet played by Bernard Lieberman and Clarence Mick followed. Miss Ruth Howell delighted her audience with a clever violin solo. The orchestra next played “Spirit of the Age.” Mrs. W. E. Hughes held her audience in a continuous burst of laughter as she recited “Betty at the Baseball Game.” A very pleasing saxaphone duet was rendered by Paul and Russel Winslow. With great expression William Crosslcy then played a violin solo and was heartily applauded by the audience. The next number of the program was several selections sung by Mr. and Mrs. I ed Lenore. The con- cluding number that evening was a selection by the orchestra. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Class Play One of the greatest successes ever known in the history of Vineland High School was rendered in the form of a play entitled “The Man On The Box,” which was staged in the High School Auditorium on the evenings of May 4 and 5. This was the first play ever staged by a Senior Class and its success no doubt will inspire future Senior Classes to repeat this feat. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Clippinger and to her the success of the play was due. The stage scenery was made up entirely by the manual training department assisted by the boys of the Senior Class. The finished product was surely a work of art, and was highly commended by everyone. The play committee con- sisted of the following: Anna Prentiss, chairman; Leslie Schureman, Madge Moyer, Wallace Gillette, and Lucy Sawyer. We all think the play committee chose wisely in selecting this play The Man On The Box,” Mr. Wallace Gillette deserves a great deal of praise for his hard work in taking care of the tickets and money. The two leading characters who featured in this play were Adelina Tomasso, the heroine and Earl Johnstone, the hero. Both carried themselves very well and surely show the talent of promising actors. The play concerned a lately resigned army lieutenant, Robert Worburton, who planned to shave off his beard, take his coachman's place on the box, to drive his sister home at a break neck pace jump down and scare her by receiving her with a kiss, she thinking it was the groom. However in the confusion of the carriages lie mounts the wrong box, kisses the wrong girl, who is Miss Betty Annesley, and is promptly arrested charged with disorderly conduct, reckless driving and abduc- tion of women. The first scene is in a courtroom and Worburton is about to be tried. Worburton who calls himself Osborne has a chum, Mr. Charles Hender- son, a newspaper reporter, who is informed of his friend’s predicament and hastens to the courtroom and demands a private hearing. He is acquainted by the court clerk and the officers present with the fact that the Judge will see no one before court opens. Through the trick of the telephone several of Henderson’s friends demand a private hearing for Osborne. The trial follows. Judge Watts imposes a fine and not understanding all the facts demands that the prisoner return the article he took from Miss Betty Annesley. During the trial both parties have become very much attracted to each other and Betty discharges her own groom and offers the place to Osborne. He readily accepts. In the second act Colonel Annesley, Betty’s father and Count Karloff are introduced. Here we first have an inkling of the treacherous plot that concerns the selling of the fortification plans entrusted by the U. S. Government to Colonel Annesley, who is about to sell them to Karloff, a Russian Spy for payment of a debt contracted at Monte Carlo. Osborne through accident discovers their con- spiracy and resolves to prevent its being carried out. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL ACTORS IN SENIOR PLAY THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Tlu third act deals with the Hunt Dinner Party at Annesley’s home. Osborne has been pressed in as a butler. Henderson and Raleigh, Osborne's regimental Colonel have fun at his expense but do not reveal his identity yet leave suspicion in the mind of Betty. After ail the guests except Karloff have left, Annesley declares he cannot sell the plans. Karloff agrees to drop the matter if Betty will become his wife. During the stormy scene which ensues Bettv begs Karloff to release him from his shame and take her. At this point Osborne enters, seizes the fortification plans, shows Karloff the door, and tells the Colonel that the debt can be paid easily through the cooperation of a friend. After the Colonel has retired, Betty who is now positive that Osborne is Worburton, the brother of her girl chum, tells him his right name and expresses her gratitude. A thrilling episode of love follows. Curtain.

ANNA CLIPPINGER. Director THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Sports in General The sports editor takes this opportunity to review the general trend of ath- letic activities; other than varsity participations. It is also fitting that mention lie made of those men who did not receive the varsity insigna, but to whom a great deal of credit is due. Strictly speaking there were no inter-class football teams, but every physical training period saw two teams battling their way up and down the field. There were some very interesting scrimmages and many of the fellows taking part will be seen wearing a red and gray jersey when the season again rolls around. The second team in football this year is most worthy of praise for the way they stuck thru-out the year; for let it be remembered that the second team man does not receive the honor and the praise that is accorded the varsity man, and for that reason it is doubly hard to stick. The big outstanding feat of our sec- onds this year was the way they held down the Woodbury first team after that school had violated a most sacred honor—that of keeping its word to play their second, since our varsity was unable to meet theirs. The men who saw service in the varsity encounters and who did exceedingly well were: Barber at tackle, Patton at end, Churchill at end and Milstead who did some commendable kicking in several games. In basketball as well as football a strong second team played their part thru-out the whole season. The team played two games, both with Millville seconds and tonsorialy speaking, trimmed the whiskers off ’em. The men of the second squad who played in numerous varsity games were Kessler at guard and Crossley at forward. As for inter-class basketball—well the Seniors won the tournament as far as boys are concerned but the Junior girls won their part of the fray. While speaking of basketball it is not amiss to mention our faculty team which also trimmed the Millville grandfathers twice. And then the feminine members of the teachers ranks organized their team but after a hard battle were defeated by the girl’s second team. The inter-class track meet of 1923 will go down as one of our most success- ful meets ever held even if the Seniors were defeated. We give the Juniors our heartiest congratulations and as for the Freshmen, when a first year class can amass 41 points, it speaks well for the next three years. Up to this time there has been no inter-class games in baseball but we feel that before the school year is over that there will be more than one contest for the cup. There is no second team in baseball but the interest in this sport is not in the least lacking judging by the number of men reporting for practice at the beginning of the season. In this limited space we have attempted to give to our readers a general impression of the athletic spirit that exists thru-out the school. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Football Vineland High School can well be proud of her 1922 football team, for this year’s record is one that will go down in the annals of our high school. A championship of South Jersey, was an honor long sought for by Vineland hut the year 1922, saw the realization of this dream. But this winning combination was the results of hard work and hearty cooperation. The team of ’21 was conspicuous by the absence of that quality and it inspired this year’s squad to work together. At the head of the list of warriors the name of “Pete” Di’Lmma is found. It was due to this little genius’s daring that Vineland put it across this year. When it came to being where the other fellow wasn’t, Pete was right there. Next in line as a consistent ground-gainer comes “Levi” Novario, a fullback, who, although tipping the scales at k.� o could always find a hole to smash thru. It might be added that this man carried his captaincy to perfection. Kid” Lewis of Newfield was V. H. S’s mainstay when it came to “booting the pill.” And as a takler on the defense,—well it is safe to say that they hit hard when the “Kid” once had his opponent’s ankles spotted. Vineland possessed two quarterbacks this year and the remarkable part of it was that they were both good-looking. Ask the girls, they know. “Georges” Smith barked them out for the first part of the season until he parted his collar- bone in the middle. He was a good man and we have only one regret and that is that he didn’t wait until later in the season to pull off the bone-breaking act. But the Honorable Charles Pearson, better known as “Chick,” was some- what of a mathematician and for the next six games he enunciated the signals very nicely. And just as a side issue lie used to rip off 5 yards or so whenever we needed them. Thus ends the biography of the backfield and it can be said that they were a scrappy bunch when the scrap was needed. But there were eight good men who received their V’s for playing on the line; no not the clothesline but the scrimmage line. The team possessed three good ends who knew how to do something besides stand around. “Buck” Read at left end used to wait for a play to come his way then he stood up, looked the man straight in the eye, consequently the man was paralyzed, and Mr. Read used to see that they stayed that way by making them “come down to earth.” Old Doc. Corson didn’t use Buck’s strategy but the Doc. usually got what he went after and the other backfield didn’t get very far when they came his way. Johnny Bozarth, most generally known by his flying name “Buzzard,” used to jump in at either end every once in a while and show off. He did this to perfection too, for when it came to sand—well Buzzy was no mud-slinger. Now for the tackles; both of these fellows used to make the other gang sit up and take notice. Admiral Jot Carey, who makes his debut at Annapolis this VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD year, used to get mad every once in a while; he was Irish you see, and when he becomes agitated, well he split one man’s lip for him. So that is the kind of a fellow Joe is. Ken Browne, on the other side of the line used to just play around, incidently knocking their teeth out and walking all over their feet instead of his own. You see, his were big but not big enough. Anyhow he stopped 'em when they had to be stopped. The guards, they weren’t much account but once in a while one or the other used to wake up and have someone inform him that that was a football game and not a snoring contest. The left guard “Doc.” Winslow by name, used to go thru the other line so fast that they used to claim that Vineland had only six men on the line. As the writer of this epistle played on the other side of the center we can’t say much about right guard, as “Brutus” was a modest man. The fellows used to call the center “Tarzen.” Now we really don’t see any close resemblance as we feel sure that Tarzen looked the better but when it came to knocking them out of the way “Bill” Walmsley was the man to do it. And so, dear readers, you have the personal anatomy of the individuals them- selves and we hope that you will be able to draw a good conclusion of what a bunch of handsome boys look like. Mr. Lowden who grows his hair red and studies Latin as a side issue can largely be held responsible for the aforementioned baker’s dozen’s actions. He was a good coach and has only one fault and that is that he owns a Chevrolet. We print herewith the scores of each debate in which the team partook which is besmirched only once and that was the most unnatural and freakiest sort of a game ever conceived. But the team won the cup and no one will deny that.

H. S. was a combination that put across what we term a fifty-fifty season. And when one stops to consider the handicap of not having a gymnasium in which to practice the record is not bad. The first disasterous notable event that took place was when the fellows elected Doc. Winslow captain. Now, Paul’s all right but when a fellow is in love well it kinda makes a difference-usually. But not in this case for this good-looking boy slings a wicked basket and he made a good leader. Holding down the other guard position was Ken Corson otherwise known as the “Bearded Lady.” He played spot guard but once in a while he used to move the spot up by the basket and drop one in, which is a good policy providing you get away with it, and it seems that the “Lady” always did. As a center, Ken Browne used to tap a mean ball. Ken is not so small you know and he gave a good account of himself all season. Kid Gamble the eighth wonder and the only animal that was not represented on Mr. Noah’s ferry-boat, was the fellow who had a mean eye. Consequently there was nothing to do but let him play forward. He sure gave a good account of himself. At least you’d think so the way the girls adored him, and they used to shout so charmingly whenever he put one in. For the other forward berth “Chich” Pearson was chosen and he gave no end of trouble to the other gang during the game. He is rather fast you know as he belongs to Vineland’s four-hundred and was taught to ride a bicycle when knee- high to a baby-coach. Rabbi Levy also acquired his V for playing basketball. And we have noth- ing to say alnmt him only that if he was as clever in Latin class as in basketball there would be no letter in the English alphabet high enough to mark him. Ask Miss Mount, she knows. BOY'S BASKETBALL TEAM Pl.AYKRS Games Pl.AYKI� Right Forward - - ■ Levy V. H. S. 22 Paulsboro 46 Right Forward - - - Gamble V. H. S. 31 Clayton 25 Left Forward ....

H. S.’s 1923 basketball team. Ah! but one minute please while we change our record for there is another side to the story. A more beautiful side let us say, in the form of the girl’s team. Captain Evelyn Brooks was a smashing guard for she smashed everything from the other team’s record to her opponent’s nose. She is we think, of Irish descent and from what we saw of her on the basketball floor we surely sympathize with England when she trys to stop the trouble in and around the territory known as Ireland. Miss Anna Mitchell officiated as the other guard. Quite clever we say for between her and the captain, the opponents didn’t get much in the way of baskets. The Dunning sisters occupied the center of the floor. These girls stop ’em all and they didn’t need anymore help than a “Thousand-legger does a pair of crutches.” That is supposed to be a metaphor because these girls are meta- phors you see they are twins. Now don’t be foolish and ask who is the older. Miss Anna Prentiss was such a hard player that one girl grew quite aggra- vated and just parted Miss Prentiss’s nose in the middle. It happened up at Clayton and Miss Prentiss says that she will always remember Clayton as the place where “she first went broke.” Miss Doris Coucil made so many baskets that the scorer used to carry an adding machine in order to keep her accounts straight. Yes, Miss Coucil was the “berries” when it came to putting them in. Last but not least is Miss Lucy Sawyer who is a temperamental sort of a person. It is this way, first she does and then she doesn’t. But let us impress it upon you that when it comes to basketball she surely “does.” The coaches were Mr. Lowden and Miss Ward. The former needs no introduction, but the latter is a resident of the growing metropolis of Newfield. It's quite the berries when it comes to coaching and last but not the least is some- what of an athlete herself for she took first prize at a meet once, but the judges saw her take it and had her arrested for shop-lifting.—Extract from Grimm’s fairy tales. For the benefit of those who like to look at figures we submit the following which fully explain themselves, but Oh Boy! you should have been there when it happened—Yes “Ignatz,” the A.

The Baseball team hit a slump at the begin- ning of the season but now—-well Connie Mack and John McGraw are coming down next week as we have just gotten word that they are in need of a new busi- ness manager and are coming down to peruse Mr. Huntress, otherwise known as 'Jawn in action.” Out on the field we find Ken Browne doing his share of the pitching to- gether with Doc. Pierson who is so nonchalant that he often goes out to the zoo to watch the turtles whizz by. The former is Captain of the gang and we say that we possess a handsome official inasmuch as Bruce Weidnef is mascot. Behind the plate we find Buck Read working overtime in his negligee for Buck never wears a shirt as he says he can’t sneeze right when he does overload his chest. He’s a good man all right and he sure is attached to the mail. That’s a deep one but figure it out for yourself. Lanky Bill Souders pulls ’em down as they gently fly over to first base. (Juite some height say we and oh! Agnes wouldn’t he and Pauline make a pair. They sure would be up in the air some. Johnny Churchill and George Smith both play at second. Once in awhile Smithy likes to feed and batters and for that reason he makes up the rest of our pitching staff. As for Johnny—he lives in South Vineland and works in the Royal Candy Store and is single. There’s your chance girls. Stubbs Maguire who forgot to grow holds down the job of shortstop. Pretty hot boy all right. But he’d be a lot better if he would settle down and stop letting the girls vamp him, when playing away. But Stubbs is -O-compared with Levy, the third baseman. Actually folks they took him for Rudolf Valentino up at Collingswood. Yes, but the game was played in the dark. Danny Madorno, left-fielder wallops the ball so hard, that every time he comes up the opposition goes down the street a ways. Good kind-hearted boy too, but they’re all like that in Minotola. Georgie Patton is to the outfield what ham am to eggs. He runs so fast, that Paddock looks like a Clay ville hick along side of George when he’s chasing the pill. Arcardi and Strong are the other two first string men and as they both eat onions hence they are robust for that delicate fruit is said to “tear you down socially and build you up physically ' Mr. Vercusky and Chief Lowden handle the reins quite superfinely to say the least. Both are old timers and know how to dance well, but you know what an elephant is—well that has nothing to do with it. Note: Lineup and Schedule at end of track schedule. VINELAND HIGH SCHOOL i ....................... BASEBALL TEAM 1923 THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Track Up to this time our track season has been one of spills and thrills and the old Red and Gray has been kept up among the leaders; due to the efforts of the men whom we will mention here. We feel that the rest of the season will find Vineland well up among the fore. Our relay team which went to Philadelphia to compete in the Penn meet, was made up of Corson, Waite, Fellows and Milstead who turned in their tally sheet for a third place. Not so bad when one stops to consider the calibre of the competition, and our handicaps, viz: Corson is so bow-legged he has to walk backwards to keep from bumping into people. Waite carries so much weight, he has to wait once in awhile to pick up the rest of his weight. Fellows comes from Camden and he has gotten consumption from breathing all the smoke from Mr. Campbell’s soup manufacturing establishment. Milstead wears glasses and is so cross-eyed he has to run backwards in order that he may not butt into the other contestants. Our second track meet was at Delaware, and we bumped up against the best Metropolitan high schools in the Hast. Nevertheless we managed to knock off a couple of points. A1 Stratton showed quite a few of them, how to high jump and at the same time leave the bar in its proper place; which is on the standards. A1 is a good man all right, he has a sister in our graduating class. And to help along in the good work they tell us that one of our good-looking young gentlemen attached himself to third place in the mile. And so the day of the county meet rolled around when we were to try matching our wits and pennies with Millville and Bridgeton. Among the men who showed the gentle art of making the ground travel under you, were: Kid Kulp, who does a neat mile and who is so knock-kneeded he has to wear bumpers on both of his peninsular extremities as a protection. Pete Di’Emma our sprinting sprinter needs no especial introduction but he has another role and that is one of playing Romeo. The young man, according to latest returns, is quite undecided which is the better game, lie also manages to kill a mean nineteen feet in the broad jump. Of course it is altogether fitting and proper that we give due mention to the feat (not the feet) of Mr. Pearson. He came within three inches of knocking the record for a row of Egyptian dog-houses. It certainly shows that Mr. Darwin is not all wrong when a man can climb to feet some inches. Terwilliger, a fellow with a big pair of legs together with no brains steps a mean half-mile, at least you would have thought so if you had been present and had watched him perform. Novario who is the Fatty Arbuckle of the graduating class throws a 12-lb. shot like it was part of the curriculum of our High School. TRACK TEAM 1923 :: THE 19 2 3 SENIOR RECORD Ralph Lewis is Pete’s side-kick in the sprints. Roth of them are petit in size and often, either one or the other has to run on a pair of stilts so the spectators can sec them. Mr. Cosh assists in the pole-vault and he certainly is a high-flyer. Perhaps say we, it runs in the family; for we are pretty well acquainted with his brother. And then there were the girls that took part in the events, and we shall attempt to describe them, altho it is pretty tough sailing. We have at the head of our list the name of Anna Mitchell, who is an all around ma—beg pardon—girl we should say. She ran so fast in the sprints, that she had to fall down and slide the last two yards so as to stop herself. And then we submit for your approval the two Dunning sisters. This time they are sisters and not twins. Harriet leads with several events to her credit. Anna copped first in the broad jump and it is said that next year the pit will have to be lengthened. The other star of the quartet is Smith and take it from the editor she certainly can hurl a baseball. She thru it so far on one of her trials, they had to hold the meet up for two days, in order to relay the pill back. Of course we are prone to exaggeration somewhat; but that goes to show that we are exper- ienced editors. So there you are folks; and of course to complete this little recitation we will print the results so far and the intended schedule: Penn Relays.................................Third Place Delaware Meet..................Took Two Third Places County Meet...............................

First, Hughes; second, Patterson. What a foolish question! Hughes was first tho because she has a winning way al out her; you know that one day she won $1.49 from C. H. 1). Minturn while match- ing pennies in Mr. Weidner’s office. Molly is second, and there’s a good reason. We’ve only known her a couple of short years. 2. Who is the most popular boy? First, Rote; second, Crossley. Another foolish question as we all think we’re popular. Howard took first because we had to give him some reward for the work he has put in this year. Bill came second but Gillette swears that he saw him stuffing the ballot. 3. Who is the most beautiful of the girls? First, Sawyer; second, Barra- dough. “Ray” for Lucy! she took the cake. Nevertheless don’t feel hurt girls, because you can get it down to Wool worths for a dime. No, I don’t mean beauty but we mean a half pint can of cold cream. Miss Barraclough who ran a close second is to be congratulated for the fight she put up as we know Wright voted five times. When you arc down town. COME TO WINSLOW S !

It is said that Carey and Scheer, the second man will enter the movies next week. Yes, Agnes, they are going to go to the movies to see Ben Turpin in his latest, “Hast is West.” 5. Who is the best built male? First, Carey; second Rote. What a question. To begin with it must have been hard voting for the girls, for what they know about mathematics. Carey again wins with Rote close behind. There’s a rea- son. No not grapenuts but dumbclls. Ask the President, he has a pair. 6. Who is the biggest liar Scheer wins singlehanded. No competition. Sure looks like we are going to have one politician in our ranks. More power to him and let’s hope he gets the Mayorship of Plum Street.

Who is the best speaker? First, Ward; second, Wright. We knew that Wardie would get it as his speech is more elevated than any other person’s. Yes Ignatz, he is 6 feet two inches in his shirtsleeves. Wright took second hut we also want to say that it is rather hard to see him when he speaks because of his glasses. You might think he lived on Plum Street. 8. If ho is the most daffy on girls? First, Wolfe; second, Wright. Getting personal now and the only thing the writer can say is that this bird is clean off his nut to say nothing of the other fellow in the race. WE all have our weak- nesses tho, but this isn’t a weakness; it is a virtue. Yes “Barney,” it’s an expensive virtue. 9. Who is the most daffy on boys? First, Sawyer; second, Carnegie. Rather an unkind thing to say about the beauty of the class. 1 guess it is true tho, for Jack isn’t complaining as long as she confines her daffiness to one fellow. AS for Jo, she has someone to take her daffiness out on. • • I • ; “List Your Home With Us” JENNIE A.

For instance, Mensone and Beecroft, altho the young lady is not a Senior we couldn’t let such a glorious op- portunity go by without some recognition. 11. Who is the biggest tomboy? First, Prentiss; second, Thompson. By heck we reckon it was that pair of broken nostrils that belong to Anna that earned her this title; for it is not every girl that has the honor. The second young lady is a mystery all right but the position is one not to be laughed at, for it is not every one who can ride mules which according to Mark Twain is one of the necessary qualifications. Winnie will give a demonstration next Saturday, weather and donkey permitting. 12. Who is our most lady-like man? First, Minturn; second, Mensone. Sure Charles H. I), got it, for don’t ladies always leave their arms bare so as they can make them well-formed. And he is right in style, for he introduced the fad of having one’s hair bobbed, if 1 remember correctly, down in the basement last year. Yes, Mac., Mensone is also well developed along these lines. f f 1 • I • • • « REAL ESTATE j BAGGS LITTLE « INSURANCE j f PLUMBER MORTGAGES j i i i DOES • f SERVICE ! f f • B I G • Ira P.

You know, he rides a bicycle, carries burnt matches, eats limburger, and plays marbles and also a “sweet potato.” Have nothing to say about the second man for it isn’t nice to talk about oneself, according to latest book on table manners. 15. Who is the biggest bluffer? First, Wolfe; second, Scheer. What is true is bound to come out for this whole article is a bluff. Hut one day the aformen- tioned, bluffed too much and Johnny Selover called his bluff and won the money. Scheer really should have been awarded the honor for that boy has to bluff his boss every day to make him believe that he is getting to work on time. | KLEVAN'S HARRY IJr Roto R s I SHOP Hardware Store 1 437 LANDIS AVENUE HOUSEHOLD FURNISHINGS ; Vineland’s Own Shop of In- FARMING IMPLEMENTS • dividual and Distinctive Ap- STOVES AND RANGES ! i parel for Women and Misses POULTRY SUPPLIES i of Better Kind PAINTS.

He is so lazy that he would not go across the street to see a prize-fight between “Peanut Gavin” and Jack Dempsey. 17. Who is the best athlete? First, Browne; second, Novario. Ken deserves it all right for the boy played the game all right. He had to because he was in “high,” so long that if he didn’t do something he would have died of “bookworm- itis.” Novario came second because he is an all-round man. His circumference from “rear-to-front-to-rear-again” is about six feet. 18. Who talks most and says least? First, Scheiber; second, Bagg. “Ray” the girls took both honors which only goes a step further to prove that a woman’s tongue is like eternity. Miss Scheiber and Miss Bagg were neck and neck for the honors at the finish; but the former stuck her tongue out and consequently won the race.

In the play the aforementioned took the part of the girl’s father very well and it was no wonder that he was elected. You always have to show age the preference and he was the oldest bird in the cast. AS for Carey, he is pretty good, for his sister-in-law’s wife’s brother’s granddaughter’s nephew’s cousin was an actor and this close rela- tionship naturally bears fruit. Xo not bannanas, Percy. 21.

May 29, 1923] A very fitting assembly was held at the High School this morning to bid farwell to the class of ’23. In the first part of the assembly Supt. H. L. Reber presented nineteen mem- bers of the orchestra with letters. Those who were given letters were William Crossley, Francis Scheiber, Nathan Agranofsky, Martin Levy, Adelina Tomasso, Bernard Lieberman, Kenneth Corson, Theodore Ward, Robert Raker, Mary Dunning, Adeline McKillip, Frances Legg, Sidney Joseph, Sidney Rosenthal, Frank Sharp, William Macgeorge, Albert Stratton, Clarence Mick and Karl Johnstone. Speeches were then in order and Mr. Evans spoke first for the party. He spoke of the leaders that have been developed in the senior class and the respon- sibilities that have been held by its members. He read a short story of two office boys, one of whom was successful and the other unsuccessful. For the Juniors Ruth Chisholm spoke and she gave a very fine little talk, FOR FINE PAINTING SCHNEIDERS KENNEDY SON BAKERY 8th and Landis I CREAM CRUST BREAD From a !

She pointed out the goal that is seldom not reached by those who make the best of their high school education. She gave the l est of wishes to the Seniors on behalf of the Juniors. For the entire school district Superintendent Reber spoke. He compared the coming and going of the students in school to the making of a Ford car, telling how the first part of the chassis is pul on an endless chain and parts added to it until the finished product comes out at the other end. He said, however, that he was sure that many would turn out to be Cadillacs and Rolls-Royces. He con- gratulated the members of the class for their efforts and their accomplishments. Mr. Weidner then made a few remarks in which he showed the results of an education and he said that he was sure that every graduate would be an honor to V. H. S. He said that he could honestly say that the class of ’23 was a “good class.” On behalf of the Seniors the president of the class, Howard Rote, spoke. He said that the Seniors realized that they are bound to make good. “Bound” because of the expectations of the rest of the school and the efforts of the school and faculty that have been put forth to help them. He paid beautiful tribute to Mrs. Clippinger, who has always proved to be a source of help and inspiration in all of the class affairs. He said that Mrs. Clippinger had done more for the class than any individual in the school. J. BARDFELD “Garments That Satisfy” Ready-to-Wcar Apparel of Distinction FOR LADIES.

SAYFORD THE 1923 SENIOR RECORD Rote said that the Seniors could never forget the smiling face of Mr. Weid- ner and the ever ready word of encouragement from Mr. Reber, as well as the rest of the faculty. lie also thanked those who have, at some time or other, helped in different class events. “Jack” Rote is a fine example of that group of fellows at school called “Phi.” He has always striven toward the ideals of “Phi” and has proved, not only to the other “Jacks ” but to all of the High School, that he has the stuff in him that makes a leader. Miss Martin and Mrs. Clippingcr, upon the request of the student body, both spoke a few words of farewell to these parting students. Miss Martin’s words of farewell were beautiful and the things that Mrs. Clippinger said will not soon be forgotten. To each member of the class Miss Martin gave a pink and with these flowers she sent a little note, the contents of which will certainly be inspiration to the Seniors as they take their places in this world’s affairs. Ted Stratton then led the Seniors in a few cheers and the rest of the student body under the other cheer leader, yelled as they never have l efore. The spirit was high and the Seniors were given a rousing send-off. This afternoon will be for the Seniors to do as they please and some very mysterious plans have been laid.
