Miss Naomi Gillespie, Year Book adviser; Miss Margaret Cun- ningham, financial adviser; and Miss Jane Bcakley, class adviser, have all had a part in our activities. In this instance we may say, “Too many cooks don’t spoil the broth, for without them we would have been lost. FACULTY ADVISERS H S Every freshman, when he enters high school, has set for himself some goal in life, some achievement that must be accomplished before he is entirely satisfied. Some enter with the determination to obtain as good an education as possible; others believe their goal to be reached when they receive their diploma, or make their trip to Washington. Most of them, however, have set a higher goal— to reach the top of their intended profession. It is to those seniors who have worked each day toward their respective ambitions that this section is dedicated.

CLASS SONG Tunc: God Bless America Goodby to Vineland High, best school of all; School of friendship and kindness, Where we studied And then heard life's call. To the teachers, to the scholars. To the school, we want to say, We love you, Vineland High, Our school for aye. —Words by Doreen May PAGE 74 __ISI - Wc, the class historians, would like to give a word of explanation here. The class history has been revealed through letters written by Jim to his father, an army officer stationed at Forth Worth, Texas. Jim, a member of the Class of '40, lives with his mother in Vineland. His dad has asked him to find out all he can about the history of his class. We have also tried to add a little human interest with the hope that you will enjoy reading the highlights of our class! Fort Worth. Texas February 1, 1940 Dear Jim, It surely is a shame that your old dad has to be stuck way out here so far away from home, but we army men have to obey orders. I'm glad to hear that mother is well and that you arc doing so nicely in your school work. By the way, since you are graduating in June, I would like to know something about your classmates and what they have done since they came into high school. After all, you should know the history of your class and so should I. Some of the teachers, undoubtedly, could tell you what's been going on since 1936. You have been writing so much about that wonderful basketball team of yours that you haven't had time to tell me anything else. Don't forget now, I want all the details, and write as soon as you can. Love to all, - Dad Vineland High School February 6, 1940 Dear Dad, I've been doing some research work the past two nights, and I’ve dug up a lot about our class. I'll write four different letters to you, one for each year. First of all, the class of 36 was one of the largest that has ever entered high school. The whole class, counting those from out of town schools, totaled well over three hundred. A freshmen parents' night was given to acquaint the parents with the teachers and the regu- lations of the school. Some of the fellows said that they were too scared to bring their folks. The Choral Club gave a cantata, Pan On a Summer's Day. There were seven or eight freshmen girls who took part. Leona Landon was a great but pleasant surprise to her class when she won the Girls' Public Speaking Contest as an alternate for Betty Creamer. The faculty presented a threc-act play called “Marrying Martin.” All the students said that it was fun to laugh at their teachers. Mr. Cosh, who is now our basketball coach, was the hero, and Mrs. McElroy, an English teacher, was the heroine. Our class, as freshmen, didn't do much in the field of sports, but that'll come later. Love, Jim Dear Jim, Fort Worth, Texas February 12, 1940 I certainly enjoyed your last letter, and I'm quite anxious to hear the rest. The life out here gets a little monotonous, and I surely do hanker for some of those New England snows we used to get up in Maine. I almost forgot to add that your Mother wrote in her last letter that you were getting mighty friendly with a blonde down the street. Don't try to kid your old dad along; I was young once. In fact. I'm not so old now, so 'fess up, son, 'fess up. Love to all. Dad Vineland High School February 20, 1940 Dear Dad, Please excuse the delay, but I've been rather busy recently—school work, you know! Now to continue with the class history. In our sophomore year, the Choral Club made the headlines again because they went to the Soldiers' Home to give a program. Then in the spring they gave their annual cantata. It was called “King Nut Cracker. The Dramatic Club presented three one act plays entitled An Evening with the Cap and Dagger Club. The first play was Thirty Minutes in a Street, in which Sam Schwarz man, Gloria Simon, Joe Fisher, Meta Miner, Newton Grccnblatt, and Irene Zorn represented our class. The next play, “Bread, was cast by Cora Schwartz, Barbara Mennics, Eleanor Thicr- yung, James Burnett, and Kenneth Ellis. Rubcna Strauss and Sam Schwarzman were the sophomores who appeared in the last production, First Dress Suit.” Leona Landon was again among the contestants in the Girls' Public Speaking Contest and Sam Schwarzman, who entered the Boys’, won first prize. HISTORY PACE 76 The Library Council sponsored a faculty tea, the purpose of which was to introduce new books to the teachers. That's about all. Our junior year was pretty busy, so I'll save that for the next letter. Love, Jim Fort Worth, Texas _ .. February 25, 1940 Dear Jim, You have been unusually prompt with your recent letters. What's happened? 1 remem- ber when it used to take a mule and a dozen or so elephants to get you to write even a letter of thanks. But you've failed, it seems, to include the required information concerning your girl friend. Come now, come clean or there'll be a purge. Sincerely—but not approvingly. Dad Vineland High School _ _ . March 2, 1940 Dear Dad, You asked for it, so here arc the details. Her name is Anne Wilkins. She is about 5' 3 in height, has light brownish hair and blue eyes. Her father was formerly a sales manager for a cement company, but he's retired now. They moved here about six weeks ago and arc living out on Chestnut Avenue. She's in the junior class at school, and I've only taken her out four times this past week. I don't know what Mom's so excited about—she must be slingin’ it. On with the history. Mrs. RubinolT, the girls gym instructress, tried to get the students more interested in dancing by organizing the “Flat-Foot Floogies. This was a class that met after school, with teachers and students as instructors. Its purpose was to teach the lower class- men—especially the boys—to dance. The football team—led by Coach Nello Dallolio—had a very successful season. Vineland was defeated only once, and the boys brought home the bacon in the form of the South Jersey Group 4 Championship. The junior boys on the team were Tony DiTomo, Joe Chiclli, Jim Gcraci, Dick Harris. Mike Gagliardi, John Trucano, Bud Jones, and Frank Bianchi. Leona Landon again represented our class in the Girls' Public Speaking Contest. The junior boys did unusually well as Kenneth Ellis, Samuel Schwarzman, and Philip Lirio won first, second, and third prizes respectively in their contest. The Choral Club presented “A Day in Venice” as their spring concert, with Lawrence Kimball as guest soloist. “Life Begins at Sixteen” was a three-act comedy staged by the Dramatic Club as their annual production. Cora Schwartz, Kenneth Ellis, Samuel Schwarzman, and Joe Fisher were the juniors in the cast. The band sponsored a dance to obtain funds for new uniforms. The students responded very well as the admission was quite low—fifteen cents apiece, or two for a quarter. The basketball team last year was only fair, ending the season with an average of about .500. The third-year men on the squad were Bud Jones, Joe Chiclli, Dick Harris, and Tony DiTomo. Coach Dallolio was also successful in his position as baseball mentor. The team ended the season with a good record. The juniors on the team had much to do with its standing. Bud Jones played third, Joe Chiclli was shortstop, John Trucano guarded the keystone sack, and John Martinclli patrolled in left field. Frank Bianchi was right beside him in center, and “Midget DiDomcnico was the mainstay of our pitching staff. The track team, under Coach Cosh, had a fair season. Adam Pekarsky, giant shotputtcr, was the main point winner for the squad. We won the County and Atlantic City Meets, but came in seventh in the Penn Relays. We did better in the Newark and Camden Suburban Meets, coming in second in both. As usual, the Junior-Senior Prom was in favor with the students, as evidenced by the crowd that was present. Frank Testa and his band furnished the music. All in all, the junior year was a period of strenuous activity and work for a great majority of our class. Once they got rolling, they were pretty hard to stop. Reckon that's all—hope you approve of my friend. Sincerely—and hopingly, Jim Fort Worth, Texas March 7, 1940 Dear Jim, Thanks for the swell letter; the information was all that could be desired—at so early a date. That's quite some class that you belong to and it seems that they have been setting some pretty high records for their successors. The athletic view of your class is unusually favor- HISTORY PACE 77 able, but what of the scholastic point? I want a report of the scholars as well as those in the extra activities. Your information—up to date—has been very well collected and written. Perhaps you 11 be a historian—who knows? By the way, three times is enough for you to take one girl out. Why, I remember when 1 was courting your mother, I didn't dare even—but I won't go into that. This is your party—please write soon. Love to all. Dad Dear Dad, Vineland High School March 12, 1940 The Student Council with John Strukcll as president, started the senior year off right by inaugurating a series of “Dime Dances' that became popular immediately with the students because of the low price. Mr. Strukcll himself provided the music with records taken from his own private collection. The Council has given four of these dances and the Assembly Club, one. The year of 1939 in regard to football was even more spectacular than the year before. The Red and Gray banged through their schedule with nary a defeat nor a tie. Only nine points were scored against them all season and those by a powerful squad from New Brunswick. Those juniors who had done so well the year before, really cleaned up with their added experi- ence. At Christmas, the Choral Club gave a program and the Dramatic Club staged a one-act play, Dust of the Road. The seniors in the cast were Kenneth Ellis, Philip Lirio, and Rodney Strang. One of the main features of our senior year was the outstanding basketball team. Despite the fact that they were a little slow getting started, they quickly improved and copped second place in the Camden Suburban League, being topped only by Collingswood. We won the County Series, too. The record of fifteen wins and only four losses is the best that has been seen in Vineland for many a year. The seniors were sadly lacking in the Girls' Public Speaking Contest, with Leona Landon our only representative. But the fourth-year men in the Boys' really cleaned up. Ken Ellis. Phil Lirio, and Sam Schwarzman won first, second, and third prizes respectively. Clifford Custard, who won honorable mention, is also in our class. Baseball season is just starting, but Coach Dallolio is already looking with optimism toward the coming campaign. Gcraci, Bud Jones, Martinelli, and Casadia are the seniors on the varsity suuad. The Dramatic Club will present as their annual production a three-act comedy entitled Meet the Duchess. ' Ken Ellis is the only senior in the cast. Next Monday Coach Clarion Cosh will call all track men out for the first practice. Harris, Norcross, and Mcllor are the fourth-year men on the squad. On May 10, the Junior-Senior Prom will be held. This is the gala event of the year in which everyone is interested. The upper classman is admitted on presentation of his invitation which is obtained when his class dues are paid. Our graduating class is to be one of the largest in the history of V.H.S. Two hundred and twenty-eight seniors make up the class of '40. The graduation exercises will be held out on the athletic field upon a stage that will be especially erected for this purpose. A group of songs from Gilbert and Sullivan will be given in addition to the regular program. Well. Dad. I'll be glad to graduate in June. This sort of ends our history, but I'll be going somewhere else next year. It’s about time I start thinking of a college, but I want your suggestions before I make any decision. I surely hope you're doing as well as I am. Love, Jim Fort Worth, Texas March 20. 1940 Dear Jim, You're quite a historian. All the data was written in fine form and style. Any addi- tions or corrections would be very slight. I'm sure. In the way of colleges I haven't. I'm afraid, thought much about any school that you might attend. There arc several good military schools around here, but of course that's up to you. I'm glad to hear that you're still getting along with your gal. Handle with care, son. they're tempcrmental. Take it easy, but don't let her boss you! I've got a surprise for you. The big boss has given me a leave of absence of three weeks later on in the spring, and I've arranged it so I'll be at your graduation. It will surely be good to see you and Mother once more. Love, Dad HISTORY PAGE 78 Although studies arc always considered of foremost importance in Vineland High, extra-curricular activities have their place in the limelight. The majority of the students belong to at least one organization, while many are members of several. Almost all phases of school life, including cultural, educational, and social, are repre- sented in our programs. These clubs give those students who are not athletically inclined an opportunity to develop their individual talents and to win honors in their own particular fields of interest.

This group has promoted many national and local drives in the high school with very creditable results. The Tuberculosis Seal Drive, the Red Cross Memberships, the campaign for toys and canned goods for the needy have been included in this work. At the expiration of the Public Speaking Club, the Student Council voted to finance the annual contests and also work toward the creation of a county contest in this field. New fire drill rules were proposed and inducted. A new custom of monthly dances for the promotion of increased sociability among the students was introduced by this group into the high school. The decorations of the school at Christmas, and the Lost and Found Department arc always sponsored by these wide-awake students. The Student Council is truly the central governing organization of Vineland High School. STUDENT COUNCIL Fir t tow: I. Thom� � , Mr� . Antoinette Roger� , faculty adviser; E. Richardson, G. Bints.

Oil paintings of great beauty, character sketches, finger paintings bringing out strange quirks in the characters of the dabblers, soap carvings, detailed drawings of various types of hands, designs for beautiful gowns—all these and many more have appeared at the exhibits of school talent sponsored by the Art Club. Pupils have dabbled with the colors of the rainbow and produced art for art's sake.” Special sales at Christmas time have been another outstanding activity of this body. Lovely painted trays, ash trays, pictures, boxes, and other odds-and-ends have provided gifts for many of our students to give. Another opportunity for the group to show its merit has been at the annual Junior-Senior Prom, for this club has always decorated the gym in many beautiful and appropriate ways for this gala affair. Football placards, announcements of club meetings, and decorations for many other social affairs have been a part of the duties of this organization. Annually they achieve their purpose of developing more fully interest in art and helping to build up individual interests. ART CLUB PAGE 82 Fini row C. Stein, M. Galctto.

This group sponsors many special assemblies including lectures by outstanding people: most prominent among these was Glenn Cunningham, the famous milcr, who stressed the value of an education above that of athletic prowess. Salom Rusk, lecturer under the patronage of Readers’ Digest, also gave a very interesting talk on his life. A scries of talent programs were planned as an innovation in order to give unknown talented students a chance to win fame. Musicians, elocutionists, dancers, and singers have been brought to public attention in this manner. Working in collaboration with the Dramatic Club, a group of one-act plays were sponsored by this body and presented at various times during the year. Two programs of monologues and dialogues by members of the Public Speaking Class were featured parts of the year’s schedule. During the year a number of very enjoyable social affairs were promoted by this organiza- tion, chief among them being the Christmas dance. Assembly leaders arc chosen from this body for both the upper and lower classmen. However, the club does not only dispense pleasure to others, but also has private dances and other similar activities for its own members. ASSEMBLY CLUB PACE 8} Fint row: F. Lindeman. D. Imh ,il. D.

Many of our girls enjoy really good music and so have joined the Choral Club. This group is noted throughout South Jersey for its beautiful effects achieved through the medium of part singing. The girls have been guest singers at the meetings of several important local organizations and have accounted for themselves in their usual splendid manner. Many excellent soloists have been produced from this group and have won fame around the school on their own merits. One of the loveliest and most traditional parts of the Christmas program is the singing of carols and hymns by this well trained group. Another of their enjoyable activities is the presentation of an annual spring cantata of choral and solo singing. On certain occasions in the past, these cantatas have been accompanied by interpretive dances and pantomimes by mcmDcrs of the student body. Their aim, to promote better music and better appreciation of music in our school, has brought innumerable moments of pleasure and joy to the townspeople as well as to the students.

This practical and worthwhile group has a large membership and plans very interesting meetings. At every other gathering some local business man is the guest speaker, and at that time he presents the requirements as to education and experience for his particular business as well as the problems encountered in that field. He also attempts to acquaint his audience with various subjects relative to commerce and the business world. Occasionally the club takes trips to modern business institutions to inspect its workings and methods. This organisation aims to improve its members in branches relative to commerce, to bring its members into closer contact with the commerce of Vineland, and to acquaint the commercial clement of Vineland with the qualifications that the commercial department of Vineland High School offers them. However, this club is not without its social side, for the members hold frequent parties and social affairs to which outside guests arc usually invited. COMMERCIAL CLUB PAGE 85 Pint row. K. Elii� .

This organisation is one of the most interesting groups in the school. At their bi- monthly meetings they have programs planned to teach pupils more about acting, make-up, and other stage work. Each prospective member must first pass a special test consisting of reading a few lines and acting out several different situations. Lectures, pantomimes, make-up demonstrations, and trial plays have their special place in the activities of this club and provide for each member some interesting task for each meeting. Combination meetings with the Millville High School club arc held each year, at which time each group presents a special play for the occasion. Every Christmas, the club has an important part in the holiday program, for it always presents the annual one-act play that is a traditional part of the day. Lending a helping hand at various other times, this club has become one of the most popular at Vineland High School. DRAMATIC CLUB PAGE 86 Pint row Mr«. Wilhemina Dent, faculty adviser; D.

Much catering is done for the various school occasions by these girls. Punch and cookies have been provided for several of the dances: while the dainty refreshments for the College Tea were prepared by these members. Annually at Christmas time, a sale of holiday cookies is sponsored by the F.H.A. and quite a profit is gathered in this manner. Some of the girls help out during the football season by selling refreshments at the con- cessions booth. Lending a helping hand whenever possible, this group adds a great deal of enjoyment to the school routine. F. H. A, PAGE 87 vnfEL-AXD CHAPTER Pint row: L. Sack. J. Patterson. B. Petrini.

The Vineland Chapter of the Future Farmers of America, “F.F.A., is made up of boys interested in Vocational Agriculture. Our local chapter is affiliated with the National Chapter. The F.F.A. has many worthwhile aims and purposes for which these two groups were organized. They are as follows: to develop competent, aggressive rural and agricultural leader- ship; to create and nurture a love of country life; to strengthen the confidence of farm boys and young men in themselves and their work; to create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations: to encourage members in the development of individual farming pro- grams and establishment in farming: to encourage members to improve the farm home and its surroundings; to participate in worthy undertakings for the improvement of agriculture; to develop character, train for useful citizenship, and foster patriotism: to participate in coopera- tive effort; to encourage and practice thrift: to encourage improvement in scholarship; to provide and encourage the development of organized rural recreational devices.

For this reason a year and a half’s study in French is required before a student is eligible to belong to this important organization. The meetings, held at the home of Miss Durand, arc planned to provide a chance for interested students to learn the French language and customs. At these gatherings only French is spoken; the country’s games arc played and dramatic presentations in this language by the students arc frequently given. Sometimes, for variety, prizes arc awarded for the best actor and actress. One of the most enjoyable meetings was that at which a quiz contest was held in the language with questions on events, personages, and places in the country of Paris in the Spring. Exchange meetings arc held each year with the club in Bridgeton at which time refresh- ments and dancing are enjoyed by both groups. One of the innovations of last year was the combined meetings of the French and Italian clubs which, it is hoped, will be continued this year. FRENCH CLUB First row M. Bowden. B. Creamer.

For some years there had been no activity on this front, and there had been quite a discussion concerning the need and desire for such an clement. Almost as if the Class ot 40 was the spur to prick the school into action, the newspaper of .H.S. was resurrected. However, under the able editorship of John Steinsnydcr, many of our present staff members and special department heads, then freshmen, started on their career of journalism. Starting as a mimeographed paper, it soon grew to a printed sheet of four pages contain ing excellent editorial work. From there on, the Hi-Spots developed many special departments and columns, brightening its pages with splendid rotogravure matter which added special interest for the readers. New eligibility rules were instituted this year allowing all students to become members of the business staff at any time but prohibiting freshmen from joining the editorial staff. For the past four years, the purpose of the Vineland Hi-Spots has been to create and express student opinion and to inform the pupils of important events and proposals. HI-SPOTS Fine row: D.

First Semester—Dorothy Stoeffen pl I Second Semester—Jean Sooy Faculty Adviser..................Mrs. Lillian Rubinoflf The keynote of this organization is to be found in the name—Honor Patrol. Only per- sons of highest integrity and dependability arc admitted to its ranks. Grades must be those of honor students, and characters must be absolutely commendable. This unit of student control aims to place responsibility on the shoulders of able stu- dents. During each period of the school day two pupils arc on duty, one in the upper and one in the lower hall. They control the halls at that time, and no one may pass through the halls or to a locker at any time without presenting to them a written permission from some teacher. Each semester a new captain is chosen to head the group so as to introduce as many new ideas and methods of hall control as possible. One of the most laudable and praiseworthy tasks in the school is performed by this out- standing organization. HONOR PATROL PAGE 92 Pint row A. Scignani, T.

A year’s study in Italian is required before one is eligible to belong to this interesting group. At the monthly gatherings of this body, the members sing Italian songs, play Italian games, and discuss Italian life in general. Frequently special reports on important personages of the country arc given, and the major operas composed in that warm and sunny land arc thoroughly studied and discussed. For the past two years this club has presented an Italian play as an assembly program which proved very enjoyable to everyone though quite unintelligible to many. Last year a new custom was introduced in the form of a combined meeting of the French and Italian Clubs at which time each group presented a play in its particular language; and, of course, dancing and refreshments were enjoyed by all. Formed in 1938, this rather new organization is now progressing at top speed. Every- one hopes that this recent brain child” will continue to flourish. ITALIAN CLUB Fint row M. Carlbcrg. A Cohen.

This club consists of a group of boys and girls interested in books and work pertaining to them. During the library periods, at least two members are always on hand to help Miss Hunsbcrgcr keep order, check out the books, return incoming books to their proper places on the shelves, assist students in finding their references, and keep the room orderly. At their meetings this group is always at work on some project for the increased advan- tage of the library or for the increased pleasure of the readers. Quite frequently at these gatherings, guest speakers are present to lecture on the proper methods to be used in this work. Parties are held on every holiday to give an added reward to the active workers, and an annual exchange meeting is held with the Library Council of Bridgeton High School. Splendid training is received in this body formed to promote interest in the library and activities relative to its work. LIBRARY COUNCIL PAGE 94 Fim row: D. ImholT. F.

Under the leadership of Mr. Enrico Serra this organization has been built into a fine group of musicians who play for every event in the high school. They provide music for opening numbers, intermissions, and finales for the various performances. These musicians have a practice period every day in order to better their renditions and accom- plish their goal—to provide musical entertainment for the school at all times. Now formed into a very congenial body, these students annually disport themselves at a picnic or party to celebrate the end of the school year. ORCHESTRA Pint rote: S. Schwarrman. K. Ell� � .

This group meets at the home of Mr. Ccrnigliaro every two weeks from September until the time of the contest, and every three weeks from then until June. Vacancies in this group arc filled in September by try-outs for the contest. Musical and literary programs with occasional social hours have been planned as the schedule for the coming year. The members chose the name of “Pegasus, the winged horse that was the messenger of the Muses, because it is the symbol of lofty aspirations. In this year’s contest. Kenneth Ellis won first prize with “The Non-Fixer : Philip Lirio favc„ The Lance of Kanana, winning second prize: third prize went to Samuel Schwarzman or “Room Service : and honorable mention was awarded to Clifford Custard for his presenta- tion of “The Big Parade.

Musical selections were provided by the high school orchestra, and one of our own seniors, Frances Fedrov, rendered violin solos during the intermission. The prizes for both the boys and the girls’ contests were this year provided by three out- standing high school organizations: namely. Student Council, Dramatic Club, and Societa Michelangelo.

This year the three-act play decided upon was the mystery entitled The Hidden Enemy. Under the able direction of Mrs. Marion Starkey, the performance was an instant and long- remembered hit. Playing to a capacity audience, the thrilling and amusing plot unrolled to reveal a house party in an abandoned Connecticut mansion. A group of ill-assorted persons had been gathered together by an eccentric old gentleman who wished to reward them because each one had done something for the good of humanity. From then on the plot resolved itself into a series of murders in an attempt to kill off all the living heirs to a huge fortune. Mention should also be made of Miss Margaret Cunningham, financial adviser, for no matter how excellent the acting and the coaching, no play can be a success without correct financial administration.

These ten positions are eagerly sought by many lovely girls and the lucky ten are greatly to be envied. The opportunity to serve in this group allows the girls to wear their latest “Paris crea- tions,” and many lovely evening gowns arc displayed at this time. Each usher is given a certain position for the night of the play in accordance with a prearranged seating chart, and full instructions arc given to them as to any unusual situations or emergencies. The greatest ambition of every senior girl may truly be said to usher at the senior play. SENIOR PLAY USHERS First row: L. Margolin. Mr� Lillian Rubinolf, faculty adviter; C. Schwarts. Second row L.

Captain ------.............................Cora Schwarts First Lieutenant -.........................Leon Margolin Faculty Adviser....................Mrs. Lillian Rubjnoff Truly a most valuable activity in the school is the Traffic Squad, captained for the past two years by Cora Schwarts. Some of the various branches of this large organization arc the Cafeteria, the Hall, and the Morning Patrols. The members of the Student Council arc also unofficial members of the group called Roamers, and they are expected to fill in at any vacant posts that they see. The Cafeteria Squad keeps order in the lunchroom at noon time, sees that the tables arc left dean, and that the stools are put in place after the students have finished eating. The Morning Patrol keeps the students from wandering through the halls and disturb- ing the teachers with noisy talk. Traffic in the corridors is regulated between periods and kept moving to the right by the Hall Patrol. Especially on the first days of the semester this group is very busy untangling snarls and traffic jams caused by the new students unaccustomed to our rules. This organization ably fulfills its purpose, which is to handle the congested traffic condi- tions at all places in the building. TRAFFIC SQUAD PAGE 100 1 : 39 South Jersey 33SH?.F TwelandHS As modern education stresses a healthy body as well as a healthy mind, a well-planned and balanced athletic schedule is an integral part of Vineland High School's program. The records of our teams show that sports not only have been beneficial to the individual player, but have also brought honor to Vineland High. Stiff com- petition, gained through these athletic contests, helps to develop good sportsmanship, co-operation, and self-control—valuable assets in the life of every individual.

Mr. Enrico Serra At every football game one of the most outstanding attractions is the blare and blast of the high school band. Marching onto the field in their snappy, new uniforms of red, gray, and gold, they made a handsome picture this year. Under the direction of Mr. Capraro, the band learned many new marching tricks and figures—circles, quartcrwhcels, and the formation of letters spelling out the name of the opposite team. A wider variety of tunes and quick-stepping marching songs were taught and perfected by Director Scrra. Quite frequently after one of our football team’s many victories this season, this group led snake dances through the town to celebrate and spread the news. Providing the pep and vim for the cheers and songs at all pep rallies, this organization is one of the fundamental groups in the school. Admittance to the band is gained by try-outs, the result of which is based on the prospective member’s ability to play and on the type of his instrument. Fine ’’strutting’’ by Barbara Mennics and splendid ’’twirling’’ by Norman Grcenblatt are two of the outstanding features of the Vineland High School band. BAND PACE 102 Firit row: Trainer G. Lui� i.

Coach Dallolio's baseball team had quite a successful season last year. The team’s leading hitter was Henry “Bud” Jones, who tallied the splendid average of .426 for the season. In the field the combination of Chiclli and Jones, far too quick and cooperative for the opposition, turned in many a sensational play that robbed the opposing batter of a base hit. Frank Bianchi’s seemingly effortless playing in the outfield was splendid. In the pitching department. Carmen DiDomcnico won six of Vineland's games, while Scran won the other two. As this year's team shapes up. Scran. Keen, and Pustizzi arc expected to form an excellent pitching staff. Bob Daplyn is slated for duty behind the plate. Jim Geraei on first base. Johnny Trucano on second base. John Martinclli. Walt Jones and Louis Casadia in the outfield, and Bud” Jones holding down either third base or the position at shortstop. As the situation pre- sents itself, this team should win a title or two. BASEBALL Fim row: B. Snyder. F. Dreyer. S. Bonvcchio. L. Sylvio. M. Rani. Second row: F. Kupcu, E. Lolli.

Coach Viola's girls turned in fine performances against top teams and rolled up a good number of points. Despite the fact that midyear graduation took Florence Dreyer and Lucy Silvio from the team, the squad played scrappy games and took their losses gallantly, fighting till the last whistle. Marie Ratti, Anna DiPasqualc, Betty Mayoh, and Betty Snyder graduate in June and leave vacancies difficult to fill. The varsity players and substitutes remaining for the next season include Sylvia Bonvcchio, Florence Kupcu. Barbara Bryant, Enrica Lolli, Florence Ritter, Jeanette Bryant, and Harriet Harris. These girls have a great deal of ability and promise to register quite a few victories for their Alma Mater in the coming year. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL PAGE 104 Pint row: A«i� unt Coach Danny Tc� ta. H.

Clarion Cosh turned out one of the most successful teams Vineland High School has seen in many years. Winning sixteen of the twenty- one games played, these boys finished in second place in both halves of the Camden Suburban League. They also captured the County and the City Championships. Leading his team in scoring points, Henry “Bud” Jones won the city scoring title and also gained second honors in league scoring. Some of the most consistent exhibitions of brilliant playing were displayed by Bob Daplyn, Herman Patton, Dick Harris, Johnny Trucano and Bob Norcross. Adolph Fisher, Mike Rossi, Charles Henzi, and Dorn Tuso also turned in a good per- formances. Coach Cosh, with several veterans as a nucleus, is hoping for more honors for our school next year.

This year many new cheers were originated and gained instant popularity. Always on hand at every athletic event, this group performs at football, basketball, and baseball games. Frequently they have been the cause of our winning a game, for they have inspired cheers that gave the team added strength and the urge to win. Aided by the band, they also lead the victory songs and form all the victory snake dances. Snappy red and gray uniforms of corduroy add greatly to their appearance and arc a decided factor in their favor. Their stunts, trick motions, and sparkling energy have made this group one of the outstanding squads of South Jersey. PAGE 106 CHEERLEADERS Fi� l tow. Annum Coach Raymond Moyer. J. Viola. F.

Emerging victorious from all nine contests, we finished the season untied and with only the powerful New Brunswick team registering any score against us. Tony DiTomo, voted the most valuable player on the team, was the leading scorer and will be sorely missed next year. He established a new state record of twenty extra points in one season and has been nicknamed the “Boy with the Educated Toe.” Joe Chielli, named on the all-state team, and Harris, Trucano, DiTomo. and Geraci, named with Chielli on the South Jersey Group 4 Team, played a fine brand of football which, because of graduation, will be missed next year.

Opposing Vineland in the field of tennis, we find that Bridgeton, Collingswood, Palmyra, Woodbury, Haddonfield. and Paulsboro have consistently turned out splendid, fighting teams. Playing with each team a match consisting of five singles and two doubles, the girls compete in three matches at home and three away. Nine girls must be available for the team as no one may double up in a match; that is, a girl may not play in a singles and then also contest in a doubles. As yet Vineland is a bit weak in this sport and has not made a very good showing; but under the continued, intensive supervision and instruction of Coach Viola, we are confident a good team will emerge. The veterans of last year's squad will form the nucleus of the 1940 team and arc as follows: Marie Ratti, Claire Stern, Camille Pasquale, Naomi Bass, Dorothy Greenlees, and Betty Ebner.

Aided by many veterans in this field, the prospects are unusually good and hopes arc high. Tony DiTomo and Camille Piccone, always on hand with points in field events, arc back this year. John Bell, the one who always comes through at the finish, stars as a sprinter. Herman Patton, the high- jump ace; William Bloomfield, the speedy half-milcr; and Dick Harris, flashy quartcr-milcr, arc always consistent performers and in every meet boost our total score. Bob Norcross has become outstanding in two events, the quarter-mile and the half-mile races: while Basil Antonclli shines in the quarter-mile. These last four, Antonclli, Harris. Norcross. and Bloomfield, formed the splendid mile relay team of last season that captured many first places. Truly excellent perfor- mances can be expected of this squad composed mainly of experienced track men. PAGE 109 TRACK Though the boys of Millville High School Love the orange and the blue; And the sturdy sons of Bridgeton To the red and white are true; We will cheer for dear old Vineland, The school we'll love for aye. For all her sons are loyal To her colors, Red and Gray. Oh, the four brief years of high school. On the fleeting wings of time. Bear us on to fields of vision, Where we scale new heights sublime; Mid our pleasures, cares, and sorrows As we toil from day to day. Let us cheer for Vineland High School And her colors. Red and Gray. When the dreams of youth arc over. And our race is almost run: When from life all care we've banished. Finished what we've here begun. May our fondest memories wander To the place we love alway, That is dear old Vineland High School With her colors. Red and Gray. ALMA MATER A noted author may write a thousand pages and yet not achieve the beauty or detail which may he gained by the mere click of a camera shutter. Thus we have tried to bring through the camera s eye a true picture of what takes place in Vineland High. We have visited the classrooms, gym, halls, athletic field, and the campus in general in an attempt to portray the life we have known for the past four years. We hope these pages may serve as a memory of those brief years we have spent together. PAGE til 1. Mo� t Popular—Eleanor Thieryung. John Strukell 2. Best Dressed—Elixabeth Giacalone, James Geraci I.
