Wallace Gendron Superintendent of Schools Principal As Principal of Weehawken High School, Mr. George Becker has duties and responsibilities which would fell a lesser man. He must see to it that every rule is obeyed and that respect is shown for all property and administrators. In- deed, he, with the help of secretaries, assistants, and teachers, is responsible for keeping every phase of our school life running smoothly. However, Mr. Becker, with his infec- tious grin, is more than an overseer. He is the spirit behind the school, a man prominent in his field and loved by all in Weehawken High School. Man is unique among all forms of life. Ho has attained a summit which is unparalleled by any other biological being. One factor stands out above all others in the analysis of man's dominance — it is his superior power of thought, thought which motivates intelligence. If creative intelligence were inaccessible to man he would remain a crude and uncivilized primate. Culture and education would be as naught; life would constitute a series of inex- plicable actions. The purpose of human exist- ence becomes apparent to us when we are confronted with the concept of life without thought. Since the creation of the earth, and the pre- dominance of man upon it, problems have arisen before him. It was man's challenge to seek a solution to these problems. Many times a resolution was unattainable, but man's intel- ligence continued to pry into the questions and extract the pertinent knowledge. He was gradually able, through his inquisitiveness, to master the situation. A solution was reached, but another vista unfolded before him, and other sources of discovery were bom. This per- petual chain continues to add links, as man, in his quest for knowledge, applies his intel- ligence to provide a better life for future generations. With the culmination of our public education almost a reality, we have achieved a major goal. We have a foundation upon which we must continually build until our ultimate goal is reached. As we strive to attain this goal, hori- zons open before us — it is life's challenge to search for their solutions. We. the future of mankind, with the use of our knowledge and God-given attributes, must apply ourselves and employ our greatest asset .. the ability to think. ., V 0. In Dedication Upon graduating from Weehawken High School, we, the class of 1959, will take with us memories of many people; those who have guided us in the search for the realization of our ideal. Teachers, friends, advisors ... all have contributed a stone to the foundation of our lives. In our search we have met with some who possess the qualities that we ourselves strive to attain. Such a man is Mr. William Henry. A graduate of Saint Peter’s College and Columbia University, Mr. Henry has been teaching in Weehawken High School for eight- een years. His sincere interest in the students has been displayed through his work with the debating club and the technicians. He is, per- haps, best noted for his searching queries de- signed primarily to provoke thought, but some- how injected with subtle humor. Both as guide and friend, he has constantly endeavored to give of himself to benefit others. Mr. Henry's humility and dedication to his work have made him a leader among his associates, and in- spired in others the esteem which he so highly deserves. It is with deep respect that we dedicate the 1959 Zenith to a man who has earned our high- est tribute as an outstanding teacher. The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. — Diogenes The true face of knowledge is not a gift freely given; we ourselves must seek it.

As products of education in a free democratic nation we will not be stagnant, but will think freely and creatively. Our ideas will only be bound by the limit of our initiative. The wealth and variety of human character we, the class of 1959, have witnessed develop has been a constant source of contemporary knowledge. Exchange of ideas and mutual endeavor have combined to form a picture of our senior year which we will long remember. Faces and thoughts have passed before us through these years.

It is a fountain yielding knowledge, knowledge which is employed in the formulation of the opinions and beliefs by which our lives are governed. It is therefore a resource, which produces the basis of thought. This then continues, with thought causing a search for knowledge, and, in turn, knowledge giving birth to new thought. Our associations also play an important role in our educational growth; for the exchange of ideas acts as a stimulus to increased intellectual prowess. Consequently, the concept of total solitude for high level intelligence is refuted. It is a mixture of individual study mingled with mass discussion which tends to create an intelligent individual. In the pages to follow we will attempt to present to you a candid glimpse of 1958-1959.

Human thought is the process by which human ends are ulti- While undergraduates, we were relatively free from responsibilities Dur- ing these years, the ideals by which we intend to live were hewn from the infinity of thoughts, goals, and aspirations which were constantly parading before us. Had we been wiser, we would have made more elaborate plans as an almost insurmountable challenge As we started to climb, and after we reached the first resting place, we experienced a welcome feeling of reas- surance, and eagerly anticipated conquest of the summit. Finally, we clutched the topmost pinnacle and proudly surveyed our journey of days past Now we see a point where, had we taken the wrong direction, we would have been plunged into a deep and dark abyss. But we can discern another junc- ture; and there, had we chosen more carefully, our ascent would have been swifter and easier. The first two years are the most important of our high school stay.

There is a visible labor, and there is an invisible labor. — Hugo Part of the ideal that we are endeavoring to realize is that we be well- rounded individuals, socially as well as academically. One of the methods of fulfilling this requisite is to participate in the varied program of activities offered at Weehawken High School. As sophomores we were impressed by the more than ample roster which confronted us, as juniors we were inspired by it, and, as seniors, we thrived on it. These activities not only aid in the development of our personalities, but they also offer a brief respite from the scholastic labors which often exhaust us. Indeed, if it were not for activities, the entire process of education might become tedious or perhaps even irksome. They are a voyage into the realms of lighter thinking upon a ship of camaraderie. Each one of us is his own captain, free to steer his vessel in the direction he chooses. The majority of us, we hope, will navigate our craft toward the realization of our ideal. r SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE First Row: Barbara Dadaian, Secretary; Pat Cotticchio, Treasurer.

Every position, from that of the administration and faculty, to that of the maintenance staff, is assumed by the students that are chosen. It should not be misconstrued that this a day to be taken lightly, for the daily schedule of study and assignments are followed. Credit must be given to the undergraduates, for their co-operation in making this event successful. The student- teachers acquitted themselves excellently, and kept the school schedule running smoothly.

Another function of the Council is screening for both student day and youth day candidates. One of the most important projects of this year is the revision of the school handbook. The handbook contains the school constitution and general information beneficial to the incoming sophomores.

As the official organ of Weehawken High School, the Indian Ink is always looked forward to by the students upon publication as the entertaining, enlight- ening chronicle of events and proceedings of our school life. Indian Ink is made possible by the combined efforts of a business staff and an editorial staff. Under the guidance of Mr. Jack Holly, the editorial staff does an exceptional job of writing, selecting and arranging the items which appear in this newspaper and also sees to it that the Indian Ink remains the voice of the students. The business staff, directed by Mrs. Elizabeth Bad- rig, has the responsibility of financing Indian Ink and in this respect has diligently and conscientiously worked to ensure its success.

Under the guidance of Mr. Scott, we planned the layout, wrote the copy, and did all the thousand and one things that go into the making of a yearbook.

The Key Club International develops these priceless attributes. The Key Club, a service organization, is sponsored by, and follows the same general principles as the Kiwanis. The club, consisting of key students of the school, meets every Friday under the competent lead- ership of Leonard Auletto, President, and is expertly advised by Mr. Thomas F. Carroll.

From the time a girl enters as a Sopho- more, she anticipates the day when she will be able to join this club and proudly display their symbol, the blazer with Greek lettering. Its purpose and aims are chiefly phil- anthropic, and its work as a beneficial organization has made us proud that they are a part of our school.

Traffic Committee Mysteriously leaving early and arriving late to all classes, the boys of the Traffic Committee are responsible for a very important task in Weehawken High School. They must see to it that traffic moves rapidly in the corridors, and conduct classes to the auditorium. The boys also rendered invaluable service by guiding sophomores and new teachers around the maze of classrooms and one-way stairways. One of the school organizations fortunate enough to possess their own room, the boys are usually to be found in the Traffic Room dis- cussing Saturday's football game or the physics test. 94 SENIOR TRAFFIC SIGNS First Row, Lett to Right: L.

In addition to daily activities, the Technicians are present at every assembly program to operate the curtain, lights and sound equip- ment. At Friday night dances they're respons- ible for an unending supply of music to keep our toes tapping. On Saturday morning they are present at the Recreation Department's free movie program. Whether called on to operate a projector, tape recorder, or footlights, a technician can be depended upon to insure excellent results in a hurry. 96 Left to Right: Eileen Stichel, Treasurer; Miss Roelker; Hanna Behrens, President; Sandra Schmadel, Vice President. Library Council Under the excellent supervision of Miss Roelker, the members of the Li- brary Council strive to provide more effective service in the library, thus benefiting the entire student body.

In addition to discussion of the events which affect our daily lives, the organization reviews films concerning the main reason for its being; the study of German culture. Meetings are generously spiced with German folk songs and preparation of German cuisine.

So it is that the History Club, under the guidance of Miss Mary Alexovits, studies history in relation to the future. The discussion of current events and world problems consumes much of the clubs' time. But this is not all; the group views travel films as well as visiting places of historical in- terest. Although only two years old, the club already is an accepted facet of Weehawken activity. Miss Alexovits.

Their favorite pastime consists of discussing and attending outstanding Broadway produc- tions. Under the competent auspices of Miss Honiss, the Dramatic Workshop reads and re- views plays. When getting down to the bare essentials, they study the fine art of make-up and stagecraft. Above all, we thank this outfit for its enjoyable assembly programs. First Row.

Flag Twirlers and Majorettes It is our less conscious thoughts and out less conscious actions which mainly mold out lives. — Butler The contemporary high school student should realize the importance of athletics in relation to thought. Concern for his physical coordination coupled with the desire for intellectual fulfillment are the characteristics of the ideal man. Devoting oneself predominantly to either pursuit will cause a marked deficiency in the individual. Insufficient participation in exercise and com- petition will result in the lack of competitive instinct and will be a source of dissatisfaction in future years. During his lifetime an individual is engaged in numerous fields of com- petition. The ability to rise up and meet difficulties in the face of intense rivalry is nurtured by the spirit and will to win. Participation in exercise and com- petition fosters the acquisition of this spirit. Opportunities are provided for any individual who possesses the desirous traits it teaches. This competitiveness inculcated by athletics is an irreplaceable aid in the search for intellectual fulfillment. It instills in the individual the attitude and desire that is necessary to achieve contentment. Along with endowing one with this spirit, athletics also provides a mode of relaxation which can increase the effectiveness of thought. Though an ideal, the quest for complete intellectual and physical satis- faction will progress if a correlation of athletics and thought is developed. For this reason athletics will always retain a formidable place in society. Sports On February 10, 1959, Lester H. Purvere, dean of New Jersey's scholastic basketball coaches, passed away. His sudden death marked the end of the greatest era in Weehawken sports history. The triumphs and accomplishments registered by Purvere-coached teams remain in memoriam. The spirit and ideals he incul- cated are indelibly evident by the success his athletes attained both athletically and in life. Coach Purvere, Rhode Island born, came to Wee- hawken in 1927 after a short professional baseball career and began to introduce and develop the strategy and techniques he had assimilated in earlier coaching experience. He guided Indian basketball and baseball fortunes from 1927 until his untimely death. He coached soccer for twenty-six years and football for three. Advisor to the cheerleaders was at one time among his other duties. An important personal accomplishment of Les Purvere was the establishment of the Hudson County Interscholastic Athletic Association which he pioneered. Today, the HCIAA controls almost all scho- lastic sports in the county. One must look farther than the main floor trophy case to realize the coaching proficiency of this man. He introduced the fast break offense when basketball was in its infant stages and changes were looked upon as anathema. The success manifested by the use of his running offense and its increasing use today reveal the intuitiveness and ingenuity of the man. Eight state, seventeen sectional, two county, and innumerable near championships indicate the effectiveness of his ability to guide young athletes. More important that the trophies his teams gar- nered and the prominence they attained were the teachings of life he impressed upon his athletes. The influence he had in the shaping of many of their lives will forever remain as remembrances of the kindly, unassuming gentleman they called Coach. He served as an example of the principles he taught. Smoking, drinking, and profanity were not among his vices. Strict adherence to the rules was always insisted upon by Coach Purvere and discipline toward that end al- ways prevailed. A Purvere-coached athlete was always aware that to play hard and fair was of foremost importance, with victory the desired result. Integrity, courtesy, gentleness, all were part of Les Purvere. His name will always be synonymous with fair play and will forever remain in the hearts of the people with whose lives he came in contact. Hudson County, especially Weehawken, will never forget Les Purvere or the principles he taught and practiced.

Under the experienced tutelage of Head Coach Leo Moran, the Indians, using the single-wing offense, threatened to write a new page in the Weehawken gridiron history. But, as in all sports, Lady Luck played an impor- tant part in the erasing of this role. Untimely injuries resulted in the loss of two games, which, if won, would have raised Weehawken football to previously unequaled heights. Con- sequently, the footballers finished with a 3-6 mark. The gridders inaugurated the season on a sunny September afternoon only to be rudely shocked by an inspired North Arlington contin- gent. The following Saturday the Moranmen provided the impetus for the first victory dance . of the season by engineering a well-deserved j 19-13 triumph over Ferris. Following two de- . feats, the Indians exhibited their mettle by scoring four touchdowns in a rout over Lodi. Two weeks hence the pigskinners agin emerged victorious as they upset previously once-beaten Harrison. Team play was a noticeable characteristic of the gridders on their victorious days. Seniors q , tony Pizzuta, Pete Ellerbrock, and Co-captain ( Ken Ferris excelled in the line throughout the A season. Despite his lack of stature. Co-captain P j ?oe McCaffrey made many a big catch from iis right end post.

Ken Ferris Co-captain Co-captain Soccer Coach Morgenweck looking the situa- tion over. The Weehawken High School soccer term, despite having to adapt itself to a new coach in mid-season, enjoyed one of its most success- ful seasons in recent years. Faced with the loss of Coach Morgenweck because of sudden illness, the Indians nevertheless fought back under their new coach, Ernest DeMontreaux, to wind up with a most creditable record. Starting the season in a mediocre fashion by dividing their first four games, the team, im- proving their play as the season progressed, went through the remaining eight regular- season games without absorbing a loss, picking up six wins and two ties on the way. Due to their fine season record of eight wins, two losses, and two ties, the team was invited to the state-wide tournament. There they met with defeat, as they were eliminated by Irvington Tech, 2-0, in a hard fought game. Outstanding during the season were senior co-captains, Ken Krause and Len Auletto, and junior Ziggy Binder who was rewarded for his fine play with a berth on the All-State Soccer Team. Goalies John Begovich and Bob Ander- son also deserve credit for their fine work in allowing only 1.2 goals against them per game.

The basketball fortunes of Weehawken's highly touted Indians fell far below pre-season expectations. Disappointment due to the Indians mediocre campaign was felt in many quar- ters. A starting line-up boasting fine, experienced, all-around ballplayers who could score and rebound, lacked the cohesive- ness and defensive ability that are necessary to a team of championship aspirations. The basketballers opened the '58-‘59 season by scoring three exciting victories; two of which were decided by a single bucket. The advent of the new year brought the Indians' first defeat, a tough battle against the Red Raiders” from Cliffside. The success the Indians enjoyed in their opening games was expected to continue when the Indians came to grips with their North Hudson combatants. In retrospect these four games seem to be the peak of the Indian season. Three different high- scorers were exhibited and four of the boys were averaging double figures. In the Ridgefield Park fray, exceptional team- work, an apparent failing later in the season, was displayed.

Track Weehawken's track team under novice coach Allen H. Schichtel, turned in a creditable job this season. The team, blessed with an amazing group of sophomores, overcame a lack of returning squadmen with an abundance of spirit and desire. Standouts this season were Ken Ferris and Art Christie, sprinters. George Hanks led the team over the hurdles while Bill Kleiber and Vin Kotowski vied for top honors in the dis- tance runs and Paul Freitag and John Cogliati were exceptional in the field events.

T ennis This spring found the Weehawken tennis team represented by an aggregation of talent-laden veterans. The returning veterans included Joel Schulman, Steve Obstbaum, Joel Ellis and Bob Turtz. The Indian racquet men again held a dominant position in the North Hudson division. Under the astute coaching of Mr. Beisswanger such foes as Union Hill, Emerson and Memo- rial bowed before the racquets wielded by the masterful Red- man team.

Joe McCaffrey momentarily bobbles the ball covering first base. Weehawken had that rare combination of hitting, pitching, fielding, and experience in its baseball team this year. From all indications, the squad, composed of 12 returning lettermen and 4 newcomers, saw a successful season. The Indians opened by shellacking a butter-fingered Steven's Academy team 15-0. The day after, the team lost a close 3-2 decision to a rough Seton Hall Prep team. The veteran pitching staff was one of the team's strong points. Seniors John Begovich and Vin Reilly could be counted on to win many games with Joe McCaffrey standing by for relief. Weehawken also boasted of power in the batting order. John Begovich, Pete Ellerbrock, Bob Becker, and Bill Kennedy could be relied upon to come through with a base knock when it was needed most. Vin Reilly, who blasted 2 home runs in the season opener, and Len Auletto, an All-County outfielder, also hit the ball for extra bases. With this material and the excellent coaching of Mr. Allen, the Redmen provided many excit- ing ball games during the ’59 season.

Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. — Brougham The educator serves as our mentor in a program of mental development. He is the intellectual who has dedicated himself to his particular held of endeavor. Our teachers strive to perfect themselves and increase their abilities, that by their efforts the knowledge and well-being of each Weehawken gradu- ate may be enriched, extended, and enhanced. They teach us how to con- centrate, how to think logically, how to learn more rapidly and retain what we have learned, and how to use our mental powers more effectively in our daily tasks. A teacher must not force the student to walk the path of the future or even lead him to it — for to force is tyranny and to lead him is dominance, and both deny the soul. The best he can do is teach the proven way, with all its advantages . . . and let the student choose. It is this freely accepted and freely learned devotion towards knowledge that guides the student to matu- rity. Through our faculty's guidance, we are enriched with knowledge of theory and laws, and instilled with a better understanding of these things in relation to the world and to life as a whole.

Infinite, too, is the power of In the year 1859, our Township of Weehawken received its Charter from the Legislature of the State of New Jersey. This is our centennial year, and it is both fitting and proper that we should celebrate this important occasion, since the passing of these years is another milestone in Weehawken s history. Since Hendrick Hudson anchored the Half Moon off our shores on October 2, 1609, Weehawken has been the stage for some of the most dramatic episodes in the building of this nation. Among these events is the Hamilton-Burr duel, which was fought on a cliff of the Weehawken Palisades on July 11, 1804. Today Weehawken proudly boasts of her industrial and educational development, but perhaps she is most noted for her connection with the Lincoln Tunnel. The first tube of the tunnel, connecting Weehawken with 42nd Street in New York City, was opened to the public in 1937. This event was climaxed by the completion of the third tube in 1957. We are indeed proud of Our Town; the following section is a partial record of the reasons for our pride in the town, its people, and its accomplishments personality. A Union of the two always makes history. View of river and bay from Castle Point, 1892.

Editors' Message It is with a deep sense of pride that we, the editors of the 1959 Zenith, present this book to you. We have endeavored to produce an annual which will please everyone concerned with Weehawken High School. Through numerous pictures and extensive literature, we have expressed what we hope will be a permanent and treasured record of the activities and thoughts of our student body. The primary objective of this yearbook is to encompass all phases of school activity; to tell the story of this year. Therefore we have added the School Life and Centennial sections; for without these, the year 1958-59 would not have been complete. We have received not only an enormous amount of enjoyment in planning the production of the Zenith, but a sense of satisfaction as well. At times we were confused and bewildered, but those who we depended upon, seldom let us down. Specifically, we would like to thank: The Faculty and Administration for their co-operation and under- standing. Mr. Lawshe, our printer for his understanding and kindness. Dian Photography Studio for their expert photography, and especially George Cochran. Mr. Moore and his art staff for their superb art work, especially Charles Van Gunst. Our literary staff, particularly Steve and Barry. Mr. Lazzaro and his business staff for their essential financial aid. Chief Kirk of the Weehawken Police Department for donating pic- tures and information toward our Centennial section. The Editorial Board and Staff who worked ceaselessly planning the Zenith. Our advisor, Mr. Scott, for passing on his extensive experience, his infinite patience, and for teaching us to be objective. Our advertisers and patrons, and all those who purchased a 1959 Zenith. You, the student body, for your faith and confidence in us. Merilee Peterson Gary Hoover Co-editors 146 M® h 4 V« )� ft 1 V . •I «M� rrrMvrd iwto «Mr • trti nJk-« ilui tv, i,,.
