Every swift flying year our love will impart New luster in manifold ways, To the name now enshrined in the innermost heart Of thy children here singing thy praise. We have striven for thee on the floor and the field; On the platform we’ve argued with skill To uphold thy bright name and thy honor to shield, And we’ll ever fight on with a will. And in gain and in loss as one body we’ll stand For the fair and the square and the free; And through dark and through bright we will e’er he a band To the uttermost loyal to thee. —Julia Meaker.

Undoubtedly it’s Cruver in the seat.” General Course Howard joined our class in our senior year, and we haven’t been able to figure out what he is planning, but we wish him luck in the game of life.

She has a flair for music, and is quite a tooter on the alto horn. She played in the high school band for three years. We don't know for certain her ambition, but if it’s what we guess, she had better start learning how to cook. Arista I. II : Field Day I. II.

ARTHUR DANZER “Art” “A mighty fine fellow is 'Art . And he's been that way from the start.” General Course Art” has never had much time to devote to athletics and other school activities because he is always busy with his current job.

The closest he'll get to the sky is up in a tree.” General Course Ducky is one of the rugged-individual type, mountaineer-style beard and all. However, when the stubble is removed we find quite u handsome lad beneath. Flying has always fascinated him and his one big ambition is some day to become an aviator. We’re sure if he keeps plugging long enough he’ll be sitting behind a joy stick. Football III. IV: Varsity Club IV : Agriculture III : Boys' Night I. II. III. IV: Field Day I. II.

In a book she can always find a friend.” Commercial Course Ernie is one of the most brilliant members of our class. She appears rather quiet, but we who know her best, have found she is different. She played the part of the comical old maid in the Junior Play, and was a roaring success. She was not far behind as Minnie in Second Fiddle . Since she is so dependable. Ernie should make good in clerical or secretarial work. Glee Club I. II. Ill: Knitting Club II; Soccer III. IV; Treasurer I. Arista I. II. III. IV ; Perfect Attendance I. II. Ill ; Class Play III.

The couples come trucking, from near and far.” Commercial Course John is rather bashful and retiring, but when he’s with a group of boys he is lots of fun. We’re sure if he would give the girls a break he wouldn’t have a minute's ]� eace. We have heard John plays a guitar, and we feel sure he could go far in that, line of music. As his preference seems to lie in the Commercial field, however, we hope he will be able to find some form of Commercial work. Orchestra III : Boys’ Night I. II. III.

The striking blue and white costumes distinguished the squad from the body of spectators and made a very pleasant appearance. The faculty and students appreciate the work which has been done by the cheerleaders in the past year.

They played beautiful football one week and followed with u complete reversal of form the next week. We opened our season at Roselle Park and made a very creditable showing. The Washington team played “heads-up football, forcing Roselle Park to the limit, before bowing 18-6. The next four games. Netcong. Rockaway. Wilson. Newton, were won by the Blue Streaks. The most impressive win of this quartet of victories was the Wilson Boro win. It was the first victory over the Wilson aggregation in 10 years. Warne’s trusty toe was a big factor in this victory, as he scored the point necessary for victory. It appeared as if the Washington team would close their season without another defeat, but then tin debacle. We succumbed to Franklin. Roxbury, and Bangor on successive Saturdays. The team play was decidedly below par and as a result the Blue Streaks’ play was ineffective. The Blue Streaks closed their season in a blaze of glory by defeating Flemington. their Thanksgiving rivals, by the score of 27-0. Every member of the varsity squad participated in this game and the score could have been of larger proportions. Letters winners were Captain Frank Mangiacotti. Duke McGinnis. Albert Keenan.

First, they followed three (Treat teams ; teams that had lost only three Karnes in the last three seasons. Teams that had won 41 Karnes out of the last 44 played. Second, they followed the undefeated 1938 team that had piled up 687 points, or an average of 46 points per Kamo. Third, they were handed a home floor record of 43 straight victories that dated way back to the middle of the 1934 season. This meant that the 1939 squad was under pressure from the very start of the season. Every opponent on our schedule was gunning for our scalp. To make matters worse only one player. Kinnaman. remained from the entire 1938 Varsity squad. The eight boys that were brought up from the Junior Varsity squad lacked height and the necessary experience. The team, through aggressive play and the determination to win. passed its first four trials in good shape to run our string of victories to 19. but after that, superior height and experience began to tell and two games were lost at home and four on foreign courts. We were able to score 365 points to our opponents’ 350. but could not keep our records intact. “We lost, but we went down fighting.” Sixty 19 3 9 Front Row—William Gar row, Bruno Dellavadova, Joseph DeMasi, Floyd Gingles, Ramsey Maddock, Gus Kovolsky, Vincent Fucci.

The baseball team turned in a fairly good record. After winning the first four contests, the team slumped and finally ended the season with a record of six victories and four defeats. Lack of pitching and hitting strength were clearly evident in practically every game. The best contest of the year was the extra-inning game with Belvidere which resulted in a well-earned two to one victory. The major loss through graduation was Floyd Gingles, who turned in very good performances on the mound, in the outfield and at the plate. 0 7 5 6 9 5 8 5 7 1 Won ........................6 Lost .......................4 Captain ...............Floyd Gingles Managers ..........Baldwin, Schwind, Hubbard, Wyckoff Coach ..............Joseph Steinhardt Sixty-one Front row—Herbert MacGinnus, Jack Simanton, Harry Keenan, Bruno Dellavadova, Harold Burd, Donald Rush, James Piperato.

Only three frames were won out of the eleven that were played. The squad from the very first lacked airirressiveness. a failing that accounted for not a few of their defeats. However, it must be remembered that the boys were all inexperienced and also lacked height as well as fight. In spite of these handicaps, the team showed improvement toward the end of the season and should with more experience, be able to give a good account of themselves.

The Blue Streak wrestlers won five meets and lost three. The squad wrestled in commendable fashion, and the boys must be given credit for having done a good job. Washington is the smallest school in the state of New Jersey, supporting wrestling as a varsity sport. When one considers the small number of pupils Washington High School has, compared with the larger enrollment at rival schools, it becomes apparent what a good showing our boys have made. Pambianchi and Bolmer, two newcomers, were undefeated during the dual meet season. Bolmer was high scorer, turning in five falls and three decisions for a total number of 34 points. Tedesco and Fucci reached the finals in the state championships, but did not lift a crown. Tedesco ranked second in the 105-lb. class. Pambianchi and Fucci placed third in the 95-lb. and 135-lb. classes repectively. Washington tied for the fifth place in the team scoring.

Not only did the team lose each and every contest with ease but they also refused to worry about this sad state of affairs. Their ideas of practice resembled the W. P. A. on a sit-down strike. The final blow came when the last team on the schedule placed a girl in their line-up, and said “Jane’ soundly beat up one of our six-footers in record time! As Mr. Trimble remarked when the final returns of the season were in, “it’s a record that future teams may tie, but they’ll never surpass it.” Sixty-four 19 3 9 Front Row—Harry Shampanore, Kenneth Petty, Co-Captains.

A number of passengers are stranded here and spend a hair-raising evening, which results in the capture of a gang of drug smugglers, who had been using the ghost story to cover their activities. The tension is relieved by humorous spats between the foppish Englishman, Teddie Deakin, and Miss Bourne, spinster, and family arguments between Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop. Deakin turns out to be the prize detective from Scotland Yard. The excitement of the evening reconciles the Winthrops, and makes the newly-wed Murdocks even more attached.
