? “We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feeling, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives who thinks most—feels the noblest—acts the best.” —Philip James Bailey The Senior Class of WAYNE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Mountain View, New Jersey presents The 1957 Embers US w?

The time measured in minutes or days or years is insignificant. The experiences that we have encountered, both important and trivial, are what determine the true value of time. Our days have been spent in a variety of ways during the past four years. We can only hope that each of us has used this time to its fullest extent. Our experiences and associations have taught us not only the written knowledge of the ages but the intrinsic values of life. In the classroom we have been made to realize the challenge of learning and the value of education. On the athletic fields we have been instilled with the spirit of team work and fair play. The many government, service, and educational organizations at Wayne have taught us lessons in leadership and justice. With this newly gained knowledge we hope to be able to formulate the codes and ideals upon which our lives will be based. For these reasons we realize the significance of The Passage of Time” and therefore have chosen it for the theme of the 1957 Embers. But before we take our first uncertain steps forward into a future which holds unlimited opportunities for the attainment of our goals, we wish to look back upon the pleasant memories of the past. hes a valuable lesson and so we dedicate Reflecting on our past years at Wayne High School, we believe we may say our days have been profitably spent. We attribute this fact to those who have taught us to realize the value of putting time to good use. Because of their forethought and help, the path to maturity was made smoother. They have stood beside us, always willing to give us the benefit of their years of experience. We wish to dedicate our yearbook, the 1957 Embers, to our parents and teachers, to whom we arc indebted for making our high school years full and worthwhile. AND FACULTY who unselfishly BOARD OF EDUCATION FREDERICK C. HELLER President The Board of Education is an important part of our school system. The members, who arc elected by the township, represent a cross-section of the community. This is evidenced by their varied occupations: housewives, engineers, insurance men, garage owners, and lawyers. The accomplishments of the Board arc many. It provides us with the best schooling and educational facilities. Our modern high school, which is a result of many hours of planning, is furnished with the latest equipment. Adult education was started by the Board a few years ago; one of its most recent contributions is the inauguration of a Distributive Education course, designed to offer students an in-service work program. Few people realize the wide scope of matters with which the Board of Education deals. Its members have done their utmost to make our time spent in school more effective and more pleasant. 10 Row 1: Mr. H. Robert Block, Mrs. Frank Mansius, Mr. Frederick C.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS DR. MARTIN Dr. Martin was formally introduced to us in an assembly program in early September. As we listened to bis first talk, we became aware of his intelligence, warmth, and his ability to inspire. As we have gotten to know our Superintendent of Schools better, our first impression has not changed. It has been enhanced. Dr. Martin’s dynamic personality, subtle humor, and sincerity arc all revealed in his message to the graduating class. Graduation from high school is like passing a place on the map. From this point on, you have entered the realm of being a person. Although this is thrilling, it is also something to be afraid of. Boys arc thinking of college, jobs, and going into the army. The girls arc thinking of college, jobs, and husbands. The business of growing up is, unfortunately, sometimes learning to become disillusioned. The real world after graduation isn’t quite as beautiful as we have imagined. The dreams we have arc the real dreams of what good people do and want. The strong grow up and hold on to their dreams. The weak don’t grow up; they grow old and lose their ideals. It is good to say, 'I will grow up and make my dreams come true, for in my dreams people arc good and life is wonderful. I will not let life be worse than something it should be.’ The beautiful part of being young is having a dream, and the beautiful part of being old is having worked to make the dream come true. America is a whole world’s dream, and the young people will make that dream come true.” DR. JOHN HENRY MARTIN Superintendent of Schools PRINCIPAL MR. JOHN VAN DYKEN Mr. Van Dyken has worked hand in hand with us since our entrance into senior high. He has made it his personal obligation to get to know us as individuals during these three years. Because the students’ welfare is of utmost importance to him, he has won the frank admiration of every member of the student body. When we were in doubt about school work, his door was open to us. When we met him in the halls, no matter how busy he was, he always had a few cheerful words to say. Knowing he stood behind the students of Wayne was, for us, a wonderful assurance. The job of principal entails many hours of tedious work which Mr. Van Dyken has willingly given to make Wayne an outstanding high school. We know that in future years when we return to visit, Mr. Van Dyken will remain the sincere friend that he has been throughout our school days. VICE PRINCIPAL MR. BERNARD PACKIN Under the guidance of Mr. Bernard Pack-in, we have become instilled with high standards and the belief that nothing is impossible. Through his adherence to democratic ideals, he has helped us develop a strong character and a sense of fair play. We, as young adults, realize the importance of discipline in our society. However, Mr. Packin is not only a disciplinarian. He is responsible for our informative and entertaining assembly productions and extensive club program, designed to be both profitable and interesting to each student. Besides these curricular activities, he plans and schedules all the extra-curricular activities and inter-scholastic sports events in which Wayne participates. Because of his efforts in our behalf, our school life has been greatly enriched. GUIDANCE DIRECTOR MRS. ELIZABETH BENSON We arc very fortunate to have had for our guidance director as friendly and intelligent a woman as Mrs. Benson. She always had some helpful and kindly advice for us when we seemed to need it most. Her office was constantly open to students who were having trouble with their school work or their plans for the future. Because of her broad knowledge of the requirements and courses of the different colleges throughout the United States, she was especially helpful to the seniors who were going on to higher education. Very often, however, our greatest problems were not of an academic nature. A friendly talk with Mrs. Benson helped many students find the solution to a personal conflict. 13 Their Time MARILYN J.

On the whole the job was fun, even though at times the students almost.froze to death and wondered if their feet and hands would ever thaw out. Many of them were drenched in a rain storm one Saturday. But the addition to their treasury, due largely to the thoughtfulness of Mr. Gullonc, made it well worth the effort. About halfway through the football season, the school’s magazine drive began. The sophomore class came out on top in sales. The money they made went toward the purchase of an organ for the auditorium. They also had the highest salesman for the school, Bob Venables, who received as a prize a portable television set. From the middle of December to the beginning of March, sophomores sold refreshments at basketball games which once again netted them a large profit, this time without the cold and rainy weather. Yearbook Representatives— Judith De Young, Judith War dell. of New Time Begins About half of the class suffered through biology, just as every other class has done; but by the end of the year they had learned two important things: how to take notes and how to follow directions to the letter. As is the custom, the sophomores gave the Valentine’s Dance, this year called Holiday for Hearts.” At the dance, the king and queen of hearts were chosen. The cafeteria was decorated with hearts and cupids which carried out the theme. A band was obtained for the dance because it was jointly sponsored by the Student Council and the sophomore class. After this, they concluded the year with the usual work and final exams, looking forward to the summer and junior year. A large word of thanks goes to Miss Ca-porusso and Mrs. Thomson, their advisers, who helped them so much during the past year.

Tant “There Are Many Events JUNIORS M $$ JOAN CABMEN Class Adviser The junior class started off the social year by sponsoring the first dance, the Sock Hop,” which had the distinction of being the first dance held in our gymnasium. Sharp argyle socks decorated the walls. When the crowd arrived, the dance floor was similarly adorned. Early in the school year it became known that the juniors, with other underclassmen, woud take part in initiating a tradition. For the first time, they had representatives who worked with the regular yearbook staff. It is hoped that through this experience the juniors will have less difficulty in putting their own yearbook together next year. The annual Senior Spaghetti Dinner found the junior girls serving; and if you looked behind the scene into the kitchen, you would have seen them elbow-deep in dishes. In the fall, orders were taken for class rings. There was a great response, and most of the juniors arc now sporting” a Wayne High School ring. YEARBOOK.

Many came to witness the production and thoroughly enjoyed this Broadway comedy hit. Following the performance the juniors flocked to an open house at Packanack Lake for an evening of dancing and food. In June the presentation of the junior-senior prom concluded the year’s activities. Practically all of our graduating seniors attended and enjoyed a delightful evening. In a setting adorned with flowers, the lovely queen and her attendants reigned graciously throughout the evening.

The Embers staff has done its best to present a comprehensive view of life at Wayne High School. Sleepless nights, black coffee and deadlines will always be a memory associated with the publication of our yearbook. But the fun and satisfaction we felt upon its completion justified our many hours of hard work. Yes, the staff has much more to remember than just what is printed on the yearbook’s pages. We hope that your pleasure in reading our history will be equal to the pleasure we had in recording it. The year took advisers, Miss Walsh and Miss Ackerman, pitch in, as usual, and help at the spaghetti dinner.

Student Council Governs OFFICERS — Albert Smith, President; Tim Barr, Vice President; Richard Woodruff, Treasurer. Knetting: Eltrcide Glas, Secretary. As the governing body of our school, the Student Council has endeavored to pass legislation for the welfare of the entire student body. The purchase of an activity card from a Council representative saved each person approximately $9.00 on the social and sports events of the school. To promote school spirit, the Council also sold Wayne buttons. The publication of six issues of the newspaper was due to support from the Council treasury. Three assembly programs, arranged and paid for by the Council, proved to be both interesting and educational. Taking the responsibility of sponsor of the annual magazine drive, the representatives and officers were in charge of daily collections and the general running of the two-week campaign. To improve the Council as a working organization, the members proceeded to revise its constitution. As a result of the Council's efforts, better homeroom meetings were conducted weekly. New students entering our school will be presented with handbooks composed by a committee appointed by the Council. Among the other accomplishments of this year, the Student Council paid for the band’s state flag and allotted money for the engraving of the basketball trophies. The Council’s greatest contribution to the school was the installation of the basis for an inter-communicative system, an AM-FM tuner, record player, and two 40-watt amplifiers. Few schools in our state can boast music during lunch periods and at social functions. Each month the Council appropriates money to purchase new records to extend the wide collection. Kneeling: B.

From this it has grown into a major service organization. The blue and white emblem has become known as a trade mark for a courteous and informative presentation of Wayne High School. The Spark has repeatedly introduced Wayne as a school that welcomes and enjoys the presence of the people of the community and visitors from out of town. During the day Spark members may be found in many corners of the hall directing and clearing up the mass confusion of between-class travel. A great portion of the Spark’s after-school activity was carried out with the aid of a flashlight; the front grounds were landscaped with trees and shrubs and the guide lines were painted on the parking lot. A major project of the Spark was receiving and accommodating Hisham Qaddumi, a foreign student from Jordan. Displays were set up in the showcases depicting the dress and customs of Jordan. A complete schedule for the two week stay was formulated and carried out for him. An open-house reception was held in his honor at which time he was introduced to American music and dances. Many of the Spark’s activities have transpired, unnoticed by the student body. Nevertheless, their work has continued to be a job well done for Wayne High School.

Standing: Peter Van Dcr Sluys, President; James Klein, Treasurer. The Honor Society’s main objectives are to promote high academic standards throughout the student body and to uphold these standards. The Society’s outstanding contributions were the annual scholarship which was awarded to the valedictorian of the senior class and a gift presented to an outstanding student in the Industrial Arts course. To raise money for the scholarship, the members sold Wayne bookcovcrs and pencils to their fellow students. An added project was thet clling of the books, How To Prepare for College'Board Examinations, and the pocket editions of classical books. Monthly meetings were supplemented by guest speakers who gave informal talks on a variety of subjects from a tour of southern Europe to the conditions existing on the New York waterfront. One of the social gatherings of the Society was a winter skating party. In the spring the members made an excursion to New York to sec a Broadway play. The social year ended with a banquet, given by the P. T. A., to honor the members. Newly selected members were inducted in May at the traditional and impressive candle lighting ceremony. Row 1: S.

Stnokc Signals appeared on the Wayne scene six times during the past year. The paper kept us informed of all the news of the school from front page headlines to humorous gossip found Under the Tepee Flap.” A great deal of behind-the-scenes work went into the making of the paper. Setting up a new column, The Injun of the Month,” organizing newspaper campaigns, and taking care of makeup difficulties were some of the problems confronting the editors. After the solutions of these difficulties, the actual work began. Reporters wandered through the halls seeking leads, articles were typed, and editors kept busy proof-reading. The paper was rushed to press and before it was back for distribution the staff was busy working oq-the next issue. The student body may be grateful to the Stnokc Signals staff for providing Wayne High with a continuous and current record of our school life during the year. Row I, across: D. Laustcr, M.

They also participated in the annual Clifton Band Festival. The ambitious twirlcrs made their own uniforms and earned money for the white plumes which adorned their hats. A feature event was when Maggie Knicps, one of the senior twirlcrs, twirled batons blazing with fire at the annual Cheerleaders’ Bonfire. The breeze whips the girls’ skirts as they twirl in the half-time show. Kneeling: M. Schockner, B. Powell, J. Kreske, M. Knieps, D. Knapp, E. Hellcrman. Standing: C. Armitage, C. Sebeck, G.

Our Ever - Cheering Cheerleaders Backing our teams, leading the students in cheers, and promoting spirit throughout the school arc the primary objectives of the cheer-leading squad. At the first pep rally, the girls, after weeks of practice, were ready to encourage the crowd. The gym resounded with cheering that afternoon. To climax the football season, the annual Bonfire and Dance were held. The traditional Passaic Valley dummy was burned as the cheerleaders led the on-lookers in revengeful approval. With the arrival of basketball season, the girls appeared in new uniforms which made them a gay sight on the court. In June the members of the squad received their two and three year letters. More important, however, were the silver megaphones given to the senior cheerleaders. These will serve as appropriate mementos in the years to come. Fight Team, Fight! Fight Team, Fight! lit row: D.

FLAG TWIRLERS About face!” and Guide right!” And so another season is over. The squad this past year consisted of twelve members headed by Captain Leslie Urquhart. New blue and white uniforms and flags were made by the girls. They followed last year’s design and were finished just before the first game. Long practices after school enabled the girls to become expert in handling a flag and mastering intricate marching steps. The highlight of the year for the girls was twirling at the Clifton Band Festival. LESLIE URQUHART Captain Kneeling: Leslie Urquhart, Captain. Standing: S. Bucher, S. Wilson, N. Fream, H. Ulrich, A.

In addition to their appearance at all football games, the members of the marching band participated in the Clifton Band Festival. For their part in this extra-curricular activity, those who attended practices and exhibitions regularly received awards. The concert band proved itself invaluable throughout the school year by performing at various assembly programs and P.T.A. meetings. The members also played at the Christmas and Spring Concerts. This year Wayne was host to the Lakeland Conference Band, consisting of the most outstanding musicians from the schools in this area. Several of our students were chosen to participate in the North Jersey All State Band: Elaine Boyd, Joan Lynch, and Peggy Van Dyke. Elaine, because of her exceptional ability to play an instrument and read music, played at the New Jersey Night in the All Eastern States Conference at Atlantic City. The Color Guard was a vital unit of the marching band. It was the assignment of these six girls to carry the national and school flags at all football games, parades and exhibitions. This year the Color Guard displayed two new flags which were recently presented to the school, those of the state and the band. THE BANDS COLOR GUARD — D. Schwalm, D. Loughccd, M. Pilkington, L.

We Work for Freedom Expert workers ore sent out, but A charges don t seem to agree! “WORKDAY FOR FREEDOM la December the student body rallied to give financial aid to the Hungarians struggling for freedom. People or t re own ship were asked to hire students to do odd jobs during one a) of the vacation. In return for the services rendered, the emp o -ers agreed to make a donation to Hungarian relief. When Al Smith performed on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour on television, he took time to discuss our fund-raising project. Within ten days, encouraging letters and donations poured in from fourteen states. On December 27 a variety of jobs were performed. Students were seen throughout the community raking lawns, painting cellars, washing cars, baby-sitting and ironing. At the close of the day the contributions totaled over one thousand six hundred dollars. The climax of Workday” occurred when students traveled to Washington, D.

The responsibility of showing movies and slides in the classroom, at assemblies, and for extracurricular activities fell to these boys. During club period they learned the mechanics and use of projectors and sound amplifiers. Their assistance has been of great value in language classes when there was a need for a tape recorder. They put it to good use again, to record for posterity the outstanding assembly programs held at Wayne High. Through their efforts more valuable equipment has been obtained for use in the future. Citizenship training was the main objective of the PROBLEMS OF AMERICAN DE-MOCRACY STEERING COMMITTEE. The group was comprised of two representatives from each senior history class. Selecting and planning a project that would contribute to the school and community was the job of the committee. Every member of the class was expected to pitch in to raise money and to do the actual work. AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS CLUB Mr. Daniel Jankclunas, Adviser B. Ziem, R. Schumm, R. Fullard, R. Eichhorn, T.

The KEY CLUB, which works for both the school and the township, is one of the many service organizations at Wayne. Willingly, the members did any job that would improve the community or Wayne High. They received no pay for their work, and any contributions for their services were donated to worthwhile organizations. The organization, sponsored by the Ki-wanis Club, sent delegates at various times during the year to Kiwanis meetings to learn further ways in which they could be of service. To keep the library running smoothly was the aim of the LIBRARY AIDES. The girls performed many helpful duties. At all times during the year the library was made cheerful with seasonal decorations. Besides the tasks of keeping the library records and books in order, the members were always willing to assist students in the use of the library. LIBRARY CLUB - Mr. Louis Gill, Adviser Standing: C. Cuber, L. Decker, C. Vogel, Mr. Gill, A. Hopper, L. Elkland, N. Kara, B.

The production of this worthwhile documentary may be attributed to the members of the PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB. This year the students learned how to use a camera and process film. The club members were shown the importance of good composition, techniques, lighting, and point-of-view in picture taking. In dealing with other phases of photography, such as portraiture, filters, motion pictures, depth of field, and 3-D, they realized the practicality of such a hobby. Curtain going up! The DRAMA CLUB meeting is called to order! At the meetings the members gave readings of short plays and monologues and performed skits and pantomimes. Through this experience, the mechanics of drama and self-expression were learned. But all the world is not on stage, and so the members became acquainted with various theatre functions. They undertook a study of costumes, properties, and make-up. After observing several demonstrations on make-up, they became quite proficient in the art themselves, and their talents were soon in demand for the different school productions.

In order to master the fine art of cooking, the members of the BOYS’ COOKING CLUB combined their talents to make such delicacies as pics, pancakes, peanut brittle, and pizza. They not only learned the fundamentals of boiling, baking, broiling and frying, but delighted in sampling their accomplishments as well. Because so many upperclassmen were driving, there was a desire on the part of many boys to learn about the mechanics of a car. The AUTOMOTIVE CLUB provided an opportunity for these boys to discuss their problems and pool their knowledge. The members explained and demonstrated, whenever possible, the various systems of a car and how they operate. The meeting place, the metal shop, enabled them to drive cars into the building and use the facilities to keep their cars in good running condition. 54 MATH CLUB - Mrs. Ruth Thomson, Adviser Sitting: G.

The MATH CLUB provided interested students with an opportunity to investigate mathematical problems not included in their regular course of study. The knowledge they acquired at club meetings, such as learning to use the slide rule for multiplication and division, was of practical value in class. Among other things, members constructed mathematical models and demonstrated their use. The members of the CERAMICS CLUB assembled each week to learn about the making of pottery and other ceramic forms. Under careful supervision, they experimented with various techniques of making these forms. The different methods that they employed were casting and plaster molds. Their imagination and creative talents were put to use in decorating their finished products in a variety of original ways with designs and decals.

To build co-ordination and endurance of motion, the members of the GIRLS’ GYMNASTICS CLUB were taught various skills in apparatus work, calisthenics, and tumbling. The ability to take orders was acquired while performing marching routines. As a result of their training, the girls were able to assume positions as leaders in their physical education classes. A new club with a new idea, the LEADERS’ CLUB, was introduced at the beginning of the school year. The members hoped to become outstanding physical education students by participating in gymnastics and team games during the club period. In the fall the boys took part in such outdoor sports as football, baseball and spccdball. The winter found them on the apparatus and climbing ropes, with wrestling as an added feature. After the members gained skill in gymnastics, they became leaders by helping their classmates during gym periods. Thus they made the physical education course an example of true teamwork.

Through the OFFICIALS’ CLUB the boys gained a better knowledge and learned the rules of all the major sports. The club instilled in the members the ideals of good sportsmanship and manners at all athletic contests. Putting their knowledge to practical use, the boys officiated for all intramural and Wayne Township League basketball and soft-ball games during the year. En garde!” is the familiar cry of the FENCING CLUB. Its members delighted in attacking each other vigorously with the poise and co-ordination of medieval nobles. The fundamentals of defense and attack, such as parries and stances, were taught to beginners. The more intricate maneuvers were learned by the experienced members. Matches with other high schools were successfully performed and enjoyed by all. FENCING CLUB - Mr. Louis Domin, Adviser Fencing: B. Harkcy, R. Brightly. Kneeling: P. Pugnet. B. Wiescr, B.

A thorough program was organized to stimulate students’ interest in teaching as a career. In the fall, the club members visited elementary schools in the township to extend their knowledge of various teaching techniques. Later in the year, they gained actual experience by teaching classes they had observed. A field trip was taken to Paterson State Teachers College to find out the academic and personal requirements for entrance to the profession. One of the foremost contributions of this club was the continuance of the Story Hour, formerly sponsored by the Preakness Women’s Club, at the public library. For one hour each Saturday morning, the members read to children from five to nine years of age to increase the youngsters’ desire for reading. A realization of the effects of conservation on economic development and every day life led the CONSERVATION CLUB to study the great out-of-doors objectively, constructively and safely. For job employment and education in this field the different aspects of the mining and lumbering industries were investigated by using films and field trips. Skinning and tanning of small animal hides were studied and practiced. A greater knowledge of wildlife was gained through the club’s two outstanding projects: a successful camp trip and the management of a wood lot.

The girls participated in the volunteer nursing program at Paterson General Hospital. Some of the duties they performed arc: feeding patients, arranging flowers, making beds, giving baths, and generally providing the patients with more comfort and companionship. Learning about nursing was also accomplished by viewing films. People in the field of medicine gave talks to enhance the girls’ knowledge, and trips to hospitals were taken. On several occasions tray favors were made for patients in Paterson General Hospital. TYPING CLUB Mr. Walter Ross, Adviser Standing: Mr. Ross, G. Sisto, T. Cook, A. Schmchl, B. Ack-erson, A.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS has learned about the customs and interests of the French people. In the informal atmosphere of meetings, folk-dancing and singing provided enjoyment for the members. With the minutes being taken in French and this language prevailing in the conversations, there was an opportunity for the students to increase their vocabulary as well. The members saw an English translation of Molicrc’s Le Misanthrope at the avant-garde Theatre East in New York. Their Christmas party featured the olden-day candlclighting ceremony. On January 10, the club held the annual Epiphany Party, La Fete des Rois, at which the king was chosen by finding a charm that had been baked in a cake. Their educational field trip was an excursion to the United Nations building. To climax the year, a banquet was held at the Auberge Provcncalc, an authentic French restaurant in Chester, New Jersey. Because Latin plays an important part in our everyday life, the members of SIGNIFERI have dedicated themselves to developing an appreciation of our heritage from the ancient Romans. The objective of the club was to become better acquainted with modern Italy. This active club, as a member of the National and State Junior Classical League programs, attended the board meetings and national convention. While there, the members had the opportunity to view many films pertaining to Rome and Italy. The club’s contributions to the convention were the presentation of a Roman fashion show and the display of the Latin newspaper they had published. Their final event of the year was a banquet of food typical of the Roman era. At this banquet, guests were dressed in costumes adapted to the Roman theme.

EL CIRCULO ESPANOL began the year by recording a complete Christmas program, which included choral speaking, poetry, singing of Christmas carols, the celebration of la pinata,” and the recitation of Christmas in Mexico.” Parents of the members were invited to hear this recording in the Spanish classes. The club helped its members to understand and appreciate the attitudes and behavior of the Spanish-speaking people. In this way, Spanish students increased their knowledge and developed their interest in the subject. Other projects of the year were sewing colorful native costumes and flags, cooking spicy dishes, discussing current happenings in the neighboring South American countries and Mexico, and planning bulletin boards for the classroom and displays for the showcase. The year was climaxed by a trip to New York to see a Spanish movie, followed by dinner in a gay Spanish restaurant. SPANISH CLUB - Mrs. Gayncll Harding, Adviser Kneeling, row : J. Kyle, E.

The varied activities of the members included not only sketching and painting, but modeling clay and making linoleum block prints. The most capable members entered their outstanding works in both county and statewide contests. By offering their talents, the group served other organizations in the school. Their readiness to make advertising posters for different activities or paint scenery for the theatrical productions at Wayne was appreciated by both students and faculty.

Under the watchful eyes of Coaches Snaith, Hodgson and Gill the boys got to know the game from the inside out. “When the boys were hot, they were red hot; when they were cold, they were ice cold.” This is corroborated by the scores throughout the season. The following arc scores of the team’s victories: Dover, forfeit; Hanover Park, 41-20; Ramapo Valley, 38-12; and Boon-ton, 25-7. The scores of the team’s defeats arc: Keyport, 21-6; Butler, 27-6; Pompton Lakes, 32-13; Passaic Valley, 18-9; and Nctcong, 26-0. Throughout the season our backficld was sparked by two seniors, Al Smith and Jerry White, while Joe Dodds, Jack Sar-son, and Bill Pancho” Plumb usually completed the lineup. The backficld was also comprised of Dave Wardle, John Pezzuti, and Don Nadratowski. Another boy, Jim Klein, outstanding lineman for the past three years, led Wayne’s pile driving line both offensively and defensively. Other members of this integral part of the ball club were Bob Lewis, Dick Farland, Dick Brightly, Neil Myers, John Rocsch, Holden Potter, Caesar Perotti, Bill Hcntrick, Ronnie Von Essen, Tim Barr, George Rapp, and Barry Bush. The season was highlighted by several spectacular breakaway runs by our touchdown twins, Al Smith and Jerry White. They constantly electrified the crowd with eye opening scampers. The fighting Injuns compiled a league record of two wins and two losses. Team laurels went to Al Smith, Jim Klein and Jerry White. Al and Jim were chosen to represent Wayne in the All-Conference Team. Jerry was selected as a member of the All-Passaic County Team. COACHES AND CAPTAINS — Mr. Gill, Al Smith.

JAMES KLEIN RICHARD FARLAND JOHN ROESCH NEIL MYERS Cage Champs Wayne ended its ’56-57 basketball campaign with a record of 15 wins and 5 losses, and tied for first place in the Lakeland Conference with a league record of 5 wins and 3 losses. The Indians also won the Lakeland Conference Jamboree title for the second consecutive year, tripping Boonton, 63-54. Let us start from the very beginning. Nobody expected Coach Gifford's Indians to be a title threat this year, because the team lost its six starters from last year via graduation. Nevertheless, the team did have two returning letter-men, Rollic Wcinmann and Jim Klein. Other prospects were Harry Douma, Jack Di Napoli, Ed Ruzicka, Neil Myers, John Henderson, and Bob Logan. Wayne entertained Boonton in its first game and the Indians took the decision, 49-30. The varsity then lost a heart-breaker to Verona, 48-47, in a double overtime. However, the boys then proceeded to win their next three, downing Dover, the Alumni and Mountain Lakes. The team was soundly whipped at Butler, 54-34. Again they went on a three game winning streak, beating Pompton Lakes, Dover again, and avenging the Butler loss, 46-45. The team then lost a real contest at Passaic Valley, 5 5-50, and were now 4-2 in league competition. They then defeated Pompton Lakes and Hawthorne. The Indians then avenged the P.V. setback at the former’s home court. Down by seven points with 1:30 to go, Jack Di Napoli and Bob Logan scored eight points between them and brought Wayne a comc-from-bchind victory. They had a let-down at Boonton, however, and got trimmed, 56-48. The team wound up the season with three straight wins over Ramapo Regional, Hawthorne and Mountain Lakes. Throughout the year the team had fine shooting from Rollie Wcinmann, Harry Douma, and Bob Logan; excellent defensive play by Neil Myers, Ed Ruzicka, and Jack Di Napoli; and rugged rebounding by Jim Klein and John Henderson. 30 Jack Di Napoli drives for a two-pointer. 66 Standing: L.

Then something happened to the Waynites. The infield tightened and errors became a rare thing. The big bats of Lewis, Ruzicka and Hanratty were heard throughout the conference. The Indians proceeded to pound their way through their stunned opponents. They downed Passaic Valley twice, once behind the brilliant no-hit pitching of Ed Ruzicka, Boonton twice, and for the first time in the school’s history, Butler and Dover were downed. P.V. crumpled under the tomahawks of the Indians, and the Lakeland Conference Championship was copped in a down-to-thc-wirc finish. The Indians now looked at the trail of glory they had blazed: two no-hitters; ten home runs; seventeen runs scored in one game; Bob Lewis’ feat of a .426 batting average; and for the first time, Butler and Dover lay scalped by the trail. The outlook for ’57 was favorable with the strong battery of Ruzicka to Di Napoli returning. Neil Myers, Harry Douma, and Bob Lewis were back in the field and several lettermen returned to the infield. Bob Logan, possessor of the other no-hitter, returned along with several promising underclassmen. Row 1: E. Mazurkiewia, H. Douma. R. Lewis, J. Sutliff, G, Aug, R. Turner. Row 2: Coach 68 Marusyn, B.

They first defeated Good Counsel at Boys’ Park, Newark. It was a good day for Wayne for they won the meet 67-32, broke three records, and swept the weight events. April 2 5 again saw Wayne on the warpath as they downed Boonton 62Vi to 54V$. On May 4 Wayne added another victory to its slate by defeating Pompton Lakes 70-47 at Pompton Field. The Indians scalped Bogota 96-12 on May 7 to bring their record to 4 and 0. Butler suffered defeat at the hands of Wayne by a score of 70 2 3 to 46 1 3. Next was Wayne’s trumping of Passaic Valley on May 14 by a score of 96-21. The last meet of the season was Wayne’s only setback. They lost to Dover 65 2 3 to 51 1 3. A record of seven meets and six victories is an ideal one, but this could not have been possible had it not been for the team’s driving initiative and the expert guidance of Coach Walter E. Ross. The apex of glory for the team was winning the 1956 Lakeland Conference Track Championship. PETER VAN DER SLUYS ROBERT BECK Row 1: E. Del Mastro, J. Van Brunt, J. Haemann, W. Monahan, P.

Victories were scored over Don Bosco, Morristown, Eastern Christian, Mountain Lakes, Boonton, Ramapo, Don Bosco of Ramsey, Clifton, Passaic Valley, Dover, and Good Counsel. Wayne’s defeat was suffered at the hands of Seton Hall. Going into the conference, Wayne was the pre-meet favorite; however, the Indians were upset by Passaic Valley which won the meet with a score of 41 points. Wayne scored 51 points and placed third. The Indians had two runners in the top ten: Harry Douma placed third and Dave Munson, fifth. Wayne’s runners in the state meet finished as follows: D. Munson 18, H. Douma 49, B. Rich 60, C.

BASEBALL BASKETBALL Although Coach Hodgson’s junior varsity basketball team didn’t have an exceptional record (5 wins, 12 losses) this year, some fine prospects for next year’s varsity squad were revealed. These prospects include Rollic Straten, Craig Wilson, Phil Cialonc, and Dan Fitzpatrick. Rollic developed into a fine player as the season progressed; Craig showed considerable ability as a playmakcr and shooter; Phil was the team’s defensive ace and possessed a fine one-handed set shot; Dan, playing his first year of basketball at Wayne, displayed well-rounded ability on the court.

Every girl in the school is a member of the Girls’ Athletic Association which is divided into two teams: the Blue and the White. In the spring they hold their annual show which is a competition between the two teams. This year the theme, Story Book, was carried out in marching, chccrleading, tumbling, tap dancing, and modern dance. Demonstrations were given on the parallel bars and on the flying rings. I hc teams arc judged on the basis of originality, costumes, precision, and presentation. At the end of the year, girls who have accumulated enough points from the G.A.A. show and the other athletic activities arc presented with G.A.A. awards. High achievement is rewarded by the N. J. State Athletic Association for those who have received seventy or more points during the year. During the past year a girls’ basketball team was formed, headed by Captain Ginny Godfrey. Their first game against Passaic Valley was close until the last quarter when P.V. gained their winning points. Other successful games were played against Hawthorne, Pompton Lakes and Butler High Schools. In the fall the girls organized their bowling team. Seniors, juniors, and sophomores played on their respective teams. With a view toward next year, plans were made to compete with the other Lakeland Conference schools. At the end of the year the girls entered a tournament in which the scores were mailed in and tallied with the scores of various other schools. The team’s accomplishments were rewarded by a high standing. Betty Hockstra flics on the apparatus rings. GIRLS' BASKETBALL — Kneeling: D. Murphy, M. Kampcr, V. Godfrey, Captain; H. Ulrich, B.

The theme of our prom, Harmony in Gold , was carried out with yellow roses nestled in green laurel chains which gave the room a pleasant fragrance. The swirling skirts made a lovely sight as the dancers moved across the floor to the sweet strains of music by Jimmy Grimes. We were happy to welcome as our guests: Mr. and Mrs. John Van Dyken, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Packin, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ordway, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Strobino, Miss Dorothy Fulboam and her escort, and Miss Dorothy Horvath and her escort, who spent four memorable hours with us. We thank Jimmy Grimes for his excellent choice in selecting Joan Schcr as our queen, and Marguerite Ball, Sharon Shire, Carol Hanenberg and Betty Cronk as her court. All the girls at the prom were given a gold heart engraved with the date for a memento. Dancing continued until the clock struck 12, when we sat down to a delicious turkey dinner. As we danced to the last notes of Goodnight Sweetheart , we knew that the evening had come to a close; but this night would always remain a sweet memory. Dancing on the open porch of the Windbeam are Jerry, Ellen, Charlie and Gail. 78 Pretty Miss Joan Scher dons her crown of roses and, with her court, reigns over the prom. M. Ball, S. Shire, J. Scher, C. Hanenberg, B. Cronk, and escorts. As the band takes a break, Bill, Margie, Betty jean and David rest their weary feet, Jimmy Grimes plays a cool trumpet for Joanie and Carol, who dance with their dates after the crowning. Trina, Judy, and Marge and their escorts wait patiently for the arrival of turkey at twelve. Our prom guests join with us in birthday greetings for Mr. Van Dyken, “77re Valiant99 The Valiant,” a onc-act drama by Hol-worthy Hall and Robert Middlcmass, was presented by the Senior Class on November 30 and December 1, along with a comedy and a musical. The scene opened in a prison office, where the warden and a priest tried in vain to have a convicted man, Dyke, reveal his true identity. Josephine, a small town girl, came to sec Dyke with the hope that he would prove to be her brother whom she had not seen in ten years. In order to save his family from public shame. Dyke withheld the truth from his sister, Josephine and walked silently to his execution, thus paying his debt to society.

Modes Scenes from The Taming of the Shrew” provided the comic element of the program. The guitar-strumming minstrel singer, followed by an introductory prologue describing the scenes, set the mood for Shakespeare. Pctruccio, a swaggering and determined gentleman from Verona, vowed to have Katherine to his wife . Katherine, however, the wild and temperamental daughter of a wealthy gentleman of Padua, was not quite so willing to yield to him. After numerous threats, blows, and flying flower pots, Pctruccio scored his triumph as supreme ruler over Katherine. In the final banquet scene, Kate, denouncing the lack of obedience in women, shocked the assembled guests with her complete change of heart.

Who says hoys eat more than girls? Just look at Betty. Louise, Edith, and Sarah. 83 The Spaghetti Dinner, an annual affair for seniors sponsored by the yearbook staff, was held on October 31. The cafeteria was transformed into an Italian restaurant with gay checkered table cloths and chianti bottles. Authentic Italian posters were on the wall and the aroma of spaghetti sauce filled the room. Our chef, Jack Di Napoli, sported a baker’s hat and apron and carried in his hand a large ladle. The junior girls served, carrying piping hot platters of spaghetti to the hungry seniors. One of the waitresses was so eager that she dropped a whole tray of dishes. The dinner, as informal as possible, was served in family style. To add some spice” to the dinner, someone added a four foot piece of string to Miss Carmen’s serving. All heads turned to watch her struggle with her spaghetti”. After dinner everybody’s attention turned to two mysterious football players who were practicing passing in the dining room. To everybody’s surprise, they were Miss Carmen and Miss Fulboam, two of our teachers. Someone suggested dancing, everyone agreed, and the boys rolled back the rugs”. Tom Della Pcnna’s intricate cha-cha steps brought much applause. The evening ended with the Bingo Dance. Doc rescues (?) Miss Carmen from Miss Fulhoam’s tackle.

Our magazine drive was launched under the guidance of “Papa” Joe Brierc. For two hectic weeks we watched our sales rise on a large thermometer. We worked very hard, met with success and even set a record that was not broken by the following year’s class. For having the highest sales rntal in the area, we received the Norman Rockwell Religious Freedom Plaque from the Curtis Publishing Company. Many of us will long remember the lectures and jokes we heard in Miss Benedict’s English class. We certainly shall never forget our muddling through As You Like it”. Later in the year Miss Benedict took the entire class to see Teahouse of the August Moon”. It would have been a perfect day if there had been enough scats; however, some of the boys didn’t seem to mind sitting in the aisle. Later that year, at the request of the P.T.A., we took part in the Minstrel Show. There was a multitude of night rehearsals and finally the show took place. Remember how people stared later when we went out to cat? It seemed weeks before the makeup came off our faces — it never did come off our clothes. But the fun we had .was well worth the minor damages incurred. Here we must add a note in memory of the Latin I class. It really got a large dose of high school cdu-ation. You could always recognize a Latin student as he shuffled down the hall mumbling verb conjugations. 9th Grade ... we l?ecame football fans. Before we knew it, Christmas had rolled around and we were deep in preparation for our party and the Winter Sleighridc Dance. Our party was held after the Christmas program and everyone was in a gala holiday mood. Miss Benedict’s shoes somehow 90 disappeared when she took them off to jitterbug; of course, nobody knew where they had gone! At the dance we were transported to a beautiful winter wonderland. The decorations featured a huge Christmas tree shimmering with blue lights. During the evening, however, the eager salesmen of our class raffled off most of the decorations. Following the grand march, Ed Likman and Marion Downer were crowned king and queen in front of the old-fashioned sleigh. We all went home with souvenir snowman pins and happy memories. With the coming of spring the annual operetta was held. Al (Smitty) Smith was chosen for the title role in Johnny Applesecd”. For weeks the cast and chorus were seen munching apples. After the performance Etta Von dcr Fecht held an open house for the class. Somehow the rooms bursting with people made us wonder if the party had been crashed” by the whole school. 10th Grade . . . adventures in Biologyland. With the Freshman Prom drawing, near the problem of learning to dance had to be solved. We decided to organize a Dance Club with experienced dancers as teachers. The poor senior high had a hard time concentrating when we decided to learn to square dance in a classroom on the second floor! As time ran short the school-time sessions changed to night-time meetings in Sue Rountree’s game room. After many meetings all those who had tried knew how to dance. The day finally came when our yearbooks were back from press. They were small, but they were ours. The halls hummed with confusion as they were passed from hand to hand and signed by friends. To us they will always be a treasured memento. June passed quickly, with preparations for graduation and the prom occupying most of our time and thoughts. Our Freshman Prom followed graduation. We danced in an enchanted undcr-thc-sca kingdom to music which drifted from the bow of a sunken ship. The treasure chests overflowing with gems and coins were guarded by smiling mermaids and bubbling fish. Stuffed toy fish were taken home as souvenirs. After the prom many of us went out for a snack or to a party. We all agreed that the evening was completely wonderful. On that night we thought back to the fun we had had, the friendships we had formed and the things that we had accomplished during our freshman year. But we were also looking forward to our next three years together. Mr. Krause's specimen museum. Several days later we boarded two buses and headed for a day at Seaside Heights. After a busy day with sun, sand, surf and amusement park rides we were tired and ready to come home. The busses had that familiar smell of Noxema as we tried to soothe our more than slightly pink skin. Our Junior Play: Betty Cronk as MY SISTER EILEEN. The summer flew by quickly and soon we were back in school. Now, as members of the senior high we needed a new adviser. We selected Mr. Strobino who helped and guided us throughout our sophomore and part of our junior years. We regretted losing him as our guide when, because of other commitments, Mr. Strobino was obliged to resign as adviser. Will we ever forget Mr. Krause’s biology course? For weeks there were lectures and our notebooks overflowed. As lab days passed, the obnoxious smell of formaldehyde pervaded the halls. After several days of analyzing and sketching a worm’s interior, we were ready to prepare our finished “lab”. Then the midnight oil began to burn. Hours were spent to save our lab papers from the critical eye and pencil of Mr. Krause. But everyone’s lab always came back with Too sketchy,” Too rough,” Details!” or What?” scrawled across the belabored sheets. We all learned at least one fact—for Mr. Krause there is rarely such a thing as a perfect lab. We are proud of our school rings. Our class project had us pounding the pavements again. When our Christmas card sales drive ended, the sum in our treasury had increased. For our English trip we saw the movie Julius Caesar” starring Marlon Brando at the Bellevue Theater in Montclair. We appreciated the background we had gained by studying the play in class. The day proved to be both educational and enjoyable. In February we sponsored the Sweetheart Swing, a Valentine’s Day dance. The cupids and hearts which were scattered about put everyone in the mood for romance. Even the trees in the park were budding with red hearts. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Cupid, who were chosen by popular vote, reigned throughout the evening. Rebel” Grossi, as a preacher, performed the service of marrying Mr. and Mrs. Cupid and the other couples at the dance quickly followed suit. Each girl had a silver ring to wear as proof that she really had captured her man. Our sophomore year was terminated with a trip to Rye Beach on a daylincr. On the boat we lounged in deck chairs, absorbing the sights of the Manhattan shoreline or danced to the music of the boat’s orchestra. At Rye Beach we spent time in the amusement park or swimming in the Sound. Remember how Pat Hickman and Jim Schmidt literally almost missed the boat?” Poor Mr. Strobino acquired quite a few gray hairs that day! As we started the new school year as juniors we entered our newer-than-brand-new high school. The first day found us climbing over boards and under scaffolds. These days were noisy, confused and at times rather inconvenient. By the end of the year we could hardly believe that this building, of which we had grown so proud, could be the same one we had entered in September. As we watched the transformations take place, the new Wayne High School became a part of us as we became a part of it. A workman puts finishing touches on our new school. The approaching cold weather again found us selling refreshments at the football games. Our classmates, who were hard-working, had to arrive long before the kickoff and work throughout the game. Although they scarcely had time to drink the steaming coffee they were selling, they bravely endured fingers numb from fishing soda bottles out of icy water. Despite these discomforts, they enjoyed their work and showed true school spirit. Our class sponsored a campaign for the sale of American flags. We tried to get a flag in every home and store in the township before Veteran’s Day. Unfortunately we did not reach our goal. Yet there were more flags flying in the township that year than there had been on previous Veteran’s Days. The Lakeland Conference Baseball Trophy. Mr. Ordway and Miss Fulboam were selected as our new sponsors. They could always be found working behind the scenes and doing their utmost to make our class activities successful. We will always feel indebted to them for the time and help they gave us. In the fall of the year our class presented the hilarious comedy, My Sister Eileen”. Laughter abounded at all the rehearsals supervised by Mr. Gill, our director. Throughout the show Betty Cronk and Diane Lauster, who played the female leads, encountered many problems in their New York apartment. Their greatest problem was their landlord, Mr. Appopolous, portrayed by Al Smith. This cast was so versatile that although they rehearsed only one script, they proved themselves capable of presenting completely different versions of the same play on two successive nights! Like all play casts, they encountered innumerable difficulties, but the final production was a howling” success. Etta Von-dcr Fecht held an open house party at the Airport Inn immediately afterward. Tom Della Penna was the main attraction as he translated his Spanish play scenes into English. There came a day when every junior was found proudly waving his hand, which now sported a shiny class ring. We wore our rings with the W” down and waited patiently for graduation when we could invert them. When the sports awards program took place our class was beaming with pride along with the rest of the school. Wayne had captured three Lakeland Conference Championships. We were especially jubilant because we knew that many of the boys in our class, as star athletes, had played an important role in the victories. The last big event of our junior year was the long anticipated prom, Harmony In Gold . We danced that night in a rustic setting, high upon a mountain top at the Windbeam. Our long-awaited senior year started off with a bang. Senior parties were held in rapid succession. Our class was drawn closer together than it ever had been before. From the start we knew that this was going to be a year charged with hard work. Still, we were aware that our toil would be balanced by happy times and deep satisfaction. Our first official get-together was at the Spaghetti Dinner sponsored by the yearbook staff, which was trying to adjust its financial status. After buying many gallons of spaghetti sauce and what seemed like tons of spaghetti, the staff sat down to count the loot . The profits were disappointingly small. However, there were no regrets for it turned out to be a gala evening for those who attended. For our theatrical production we decided to present three one-act plays instead of the usual one three-act play. This was an innovation on the Wayne stage. At first we were hesitant but later we were pleased with our decision when the plays proved to be a huge success. The Valiant, a drama, was the first on the playbill. The cast members were con- Prom night at the Windbeam. gratulatcd upon their superb performance. It is said that only a good actor can play upon the audience’s emotions and move it to tears. The cast of The Valiant succeeded in doing this. The audience was quickly put back into a happy frame of mind as the curtain opened upon excerpts from the uproarious comedy, The Taming of the Shrew. For the next half hour they were entertained by the antics of Christopher Sly and his supposed wife as they watched Pctruccio tame the wild Kate. The amusing speeches were uttered amidst the throwing of flower Jane Jenkimon orders her senior portraits from Mr. Floyd. pots and evil glances by Kate at anyone who did not please her. When the play was over, Roland Wein-mann, who had played the part of Pctruccio, was happy to say that throughout the rehearsals he had never been hit by one of Kate’s flying flowerpots and would now be able to sleep more soundly. The third and last play, Down in the Valley, was a musical which told the love story of Jenny Parsons and Brack Weaver. This production, with its touching ballads and gay folk songs, was all that was needed to round out a theater-goer’s evening. The footlights were dimmed, the makeup was removed and the costumes were hung away. The senior play was over, but it will always be remembered as an important event in our high school life. Ravenous seniors at the Spag ietti Dinner. 93 As Christmas approached, the yearbook staff became acutely aware that the first and biggest deadline was soon to be met. The 17th of December was circled on many calendars. As the deadline drew closer the midnight oil burned brightly. Grease penciled lines were drawn with abandon as photos were cropped; scratching pens wrote down blurbs for the senior section. There was a last minute rush to tic all the loose ends together and fingers were crossed in the hope that the layout would be finished in time. But when the dreaded deadline day rolled around the sleepy-eyed yearbook staff was happy to say that the largest part of the ’57 Embers was ready to be put to bed”. The staff sighed with relief, for they knew the hardest job was over. During the Christmas vacation, on December 27th, Work Day for Freedom”, all the seniors turned out to support the school project for raising money for the oppressed people of Hungary. We answered calls to do various types of work which ranged from cleaning attics to babysitting. When a check for a large sum of money was sent to the Hungarian Relief Fund, we, as seniors, were glad to know that we had been a part of a fight for freedom”. With the arrival of the New Year we realized that from then on much of our time would be spent Betty Cronk seems to resent Roland Weinmann as be begins THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. The academic students were burrowed deep in study for the College Entrance Examination Board tests. After they were over, those who had taken them sat back hopefully to await the results. With the arrival of spring things began to pop at Wayne. After the long winter the highly secret and detailed plans for the P.A.D. Steering Committee were revealed and put into effect. The whole senior class pitched in and carried out these plans. A senior patio behind the cafeteria was started. Flagstones were laid, flowers were planted and benches were built. Upon our graduation we left this patio to the next senior class and thus set a tradition for the classes which will follow us. Along with spring came the arrival of letters, most of which contained good news — the announcement of acceptance to the school or college of our choice. Our last senior get-together was the prom. We shall always remember the marvelous time we had. It seemed to end too soon for us. Our corsages and boutonnieres were tenderly placed in their boxes and stored away with the rest of our souvenirs. Graduation week was a busy one. High honors were bestowed upon the outstanding students in our class on Awards Day. The baccalaureate service added deep meaning to our commencement. Then graduation night itself was suddenly upon us. In a few short but meaningful hours the ceremony was over. As the last senior received his diploma the tassels on our caps were turned and we became graduates of Wayne High School. making plans and preparing for the future. The girls who had taken the commercial course were about to find out what the business world is really like. For several weeks, instead of attending classes, they reported to work for on-the-job training. As they worked they learned. When they returned to school they had gained a great deal of knowledge and self-assurance. They now felt that they could cope more easily with the problems they would encounter upon graduation. Several girls even were assured a job would await them in June. At last — the bard-won diploma! And so this history' ends. In the years to come old Father Time may fade the memories, but he will never erase them. For no matter where we go or what we do we shall always remain a part of our class — the Class of '57.
