EDWARD TUM1N BUSINESS ADVISER: MR. R. JOSEPH BRUDER Acknowledgments We wish to extend our gratitude to the editors and publishers of Webster’s New World Dictionary, Webster's Students Dictionary, the American High School Dictionary, the American College Dictionary, and Funk and Wagnalls Unabridged Dictionary for invaluable technical assistance; to Dover Publication. Inc., from whose edition of Ambrose Bierce’s Devil's Dictionary many of the entries were taken ; to the New York Times, for its chronological listings of the important events of the last four years; to the Totem Pole, many articles from which were used to supplement our own information on the school. We are indebted also to Bonnie Karchmar, Judith Price, and Phyllis Scheff, who gave willingly of their time after school to do much-needed typing for the Legend. The articles on novels, television, and the theatre were written by Andrew Ettin, on curriculum and the world by Judith Seligsohn, on popular music by Susan Gonzer and James Horton, the class history by Leon Osterweil, and sports by Robert Singer. Dedication To Mrs. Louise M. Weinstein Principal's Note Editors' Note Dr. David E. Weingast You have chosen a novel format for your yearbook. A dictionary is an ingenious device for memorializing your high school days. This dictionary and its contents arc all too familiar while you are students at Wecquahic. But years hence, you will find that people, events, and places become blurred by time. Some things of epic importance today will become hazy and uncertain as they recede into the past. Then you will find this dictionary a special source of pleasure, of sentiment, of memories. There’s another facet about this dictionary that interests me and that has symbolic meaning. One of the best things this school can do for any student is to give him skill in research techniques. I.ct this dictionary-yearbook be your reminder to look it up in the years ahead. Whether you become scholars, researchers, professional or business people, you’ll serve yourself and your responsibilities better if you make it a habit to look it up.” If you want to speak with authority, if you want your opinions to be respected, then give your statements the strong underpinning of validated fact,-of solid research. Don’t guess. Ixx k it up. This is the real message of the Legend of January, 1961. David E. Weingast Principal Andrew Ettin, Leon Osterwcil Surely no editors of any large publication ever received more cooperation from their staff than we received from ours. All of the staff, from Mr. Tumin to the typists, contributed countless hours and immeasurable energy to the production of this Legend. It is they to whom we, the editors, are indebted and the)1 to whom we exend our deepest gratitude and thanks for a job done faithfully, conscientiously, and well. Adviser's Like all dictionaries, we. your dictionary, have made no judgments on you; we have merely recorded your words, your deeds, your usage. The information we used was supplied by your answers, casual or thoughtful, to our questionnaire. This is how we arrived at a definition of you. When your children are of high school age, you will be able to assess the accuracy of that definition. Were you really like that? Those books and movies and popular records you indicated were your favorites, do you remember them now? Those sayings, what about them? The activities you entered, the clubs, the offices you held ? Time will indeed tell. Edward Tumin Note Edward Tumin Preface In June, I960, with the work just completed on that term's classbook, the writing of the Legend for our class began. Starting with an evaluation of the purposes of such a publication, a steering committee composed of several members of the present editorial board and literary staff drafted a set of goals and noted elements in former yearbooks which were not desirable. Our Legend, it was decided, should not be a book which those who had not participated in a large number of extra-curricular activities preferred to keep in an attic trunk or on the bottom of a stack of old periodicals; therefore, the previous system of listing clubs and activities under the graduates' pictures, often resulting in long lists for some and merely blank spaces for others would have to be eliminated and replaced by a brief account for each student of the more important of his preferences, ambitions, and avocations, along with a mentioning of clubs in which he participated for several terms, offices frequently held, and academic excellence. Another egregious omission in most other classbooks, it was thought, was the complete neglect of the school and its curriculum, in addition to clubs, which frequently were not described at all but were represented solely by a picture of the members. The Legend, after all, should evoke vivid memories not only next year but ten and twenty years hence, and it should also serve as evidence to our children of the times in which we went to high school. No one would hazard a guess as to what kind of educational system will be in effect in the days of our grandchildren, but it was taken into account that come what may, things probably will be different. Years from now we want to be able to have something to refresh our memories, that we may say to the new generation, When we went to school, this is what we studied. A decision was made to include sections on the general curriculum, the programs and courses of the individual departments, the operations of our student government and the opportunities afforded us by the clubs, publications, and organizations as we knew them in our high school years. To these would be added chronologies of the important events of 1957 through I960 to serve as background material on our formative years. Finally, we wanted our Legend to be different from all the others. Certainly, however, this distinctiveness was not to be gained by adapting forcibly the contents to fit a bizarre, exotic theme which might have absolutely no bearing on the school, the class, or the era. It was evident that the format would be the most difficult problem confronting the staff. After summer vacation, during which several general articles were written and many ideas for themes, all of which subsequently were rejected, were formulated, work began quickly. Information forms were compiled and distributed to every member of the class. From these we were able to obtain a fairly accurate image of each person. We eliminated meaningless couplets and cold statistical information. We all realized, however, that little in the wav of final writing could be done until we had found a suitable frame on which to build. At last that frame was located. It could not be said that any one person actually produced the idea of doing the legend in the form of a dictionary; the idea seemed to be generated spontaneously by several staff members while checking the spelling of a word, and it captured everyone's imagination immediately. This was a form which never had been utilized in Wee-quahic and possibly not by any other school for its class-book. It was distinctive above all else, discouraging duplication as a format by its very nature, standing out from the hackneyed album-type books; in short, it seemed like a clever idea It was not until we commenced compiling the Legend that we realized the advantages and problems connected with printing a dictionary. In making our decision for the theme. we reasoned that a dictionary is the one book which every high school student has used, that because the listing is alphabetical the entries would be easily located and problems involving sequence of sections would be eliminated, that the set pattern of such a work would simplify the writing, printing, and reading. Soon, though, inevitable questions were asked. Since students would have to be described according to dictionary definition form, could verbs, adjectives and adverbs be used for them? If so, if a boy on the track team were to be defined as to run, would it make sense to say. The dog Henry Jacksoncd down the street?” What sort of problems would be created by the complicated typography, dictionary phrasing, illustrations of students, clubs, and homerooms (which would have to be done in keeping with the style), descriptions of departments, cross-referencing, and countless other highly involved technical problems? Our fears were allayed to some degree on these counts by our confidence that the skill of our not-then-selected editorial staff and Mr. Tumin, the faculty adviser, would save the Legend from any great pitfalls; yet there was another stumbling block. Dictionaries are not, for the most part, extremely interesting to the average reader, and surely the classbook would have to be interesting. Most of us have become intrigued at one time or another by some word we have found while looking for the correct spelling, pronunciation, or meaning, but unless extremely interested in verbiage, the majority will quickly replace the book on its shelf until it is once again needed; and the legend staff did not want this to happen with its production. The solution to this problem came rather suddenly when a staff member recalled a cynical, sardonic worl by the late Ambrose Bierce entitled The Devil’s Dictionary. The suggestion then was that we do our own version, but, find-ing Bierce more clever than we, the decision was to make use of his definitions (along with some written by a staff member who prefers anonymity) to relieve the monotony that otherwise could result from pages composed only of senior sketches. Thus we were ready for production. In writing the legend for the class of January, 1961, every attempt was made to carry out the theme naturally, and to make the book informative, enjoyable, and of lasting value. We believe we have succeeded. For the staff of The Legend The Editors 5 Administration and Staff The Board of Education: Weequahic High School Newark, New Jersey Principal: Dr. David E. Wcingast.

Art Department. Under the guidance of Mrs. Anderson. Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Saltman. and Mr. Cartledgc (Mrs. Schcchter is now on leave), the art department offers a sound basis in almost every field. Two years of commercial art are available. Art Survey covers the historical background of art. The minors in this department are numerous. General Art, a one-year course, emphasizes figure and three dimensional drawing; Art Club features a variety of problems, particularly oil painting; Art Foundations, which satisfies the requirement for a fine arts course, offers freshmen an orientation in the subject; Art Club, Ceramics, and Painting arc also offered. It is the desire of the department that students develop their art ability to the greatest possible extent, while maintaining their individual styles and mchods of work. An added and much appreciated feature of the department is the Art Service squad. The group provides signs used on the publicity campaigns of O.B.A. Dances, and other school events. Art Service Squad. The Art Service squad acts as an advertising group for all school functions and affairs. The squad is sponsored by the art department which furnishes all the necessary materials used in the squad's projects. This group gives its members the chance to express themselves in their work and achieve the satisfaction of knowing they have helped to make school affairs successful. Abramson.

An assembly is given during school time for two important reasons. First, it should broaden the interests and knowledge through contact with other ideas and other people. Secondly, it should provide for student participation before large groups. Finally, the school presents programs of entertainment where student participation results in the educational and cultural development of the student body as a whole. Mrs. Lappc is in charge of assembly programs. 7 Awards, Graduation. Of all the honors, probably the most coveted is the Bamberger Medal. This is awarded by L. Bamberger and Co. to a graduate whose scholastic achievement has been outstanding and who, in rendering distinguished service to the school, has shown excellent school citizenship. The Mayor Leo P. Carlin Medal is awarded to a member of the class by vote as is the Bamberger Medal. This student must also have the combination of excellent scholarship and school citizenship. The Wecquahic Parents' Council usually gives an award of a $25 U. S. Savings Bond to two outstanding and deserving students. These two are chosen by a committee made up of the principal. Dr. Wcingast, and two faculty members. Each year the Bausch and Lomb Company awards to high schools throughout the country a medal to be presented in recognition of superior scientific scholarship and conspicuous achievement in the study of science. Again on a nationwide basis, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York, annually confers a medal in recognition of outstanding work in mathematics and science throughout the student's preparatory course. The Mathematics Department of Wecquahic, wishing to memorialize the late Isaac K. Ellis, who was the first chairman of this department at Wccauahic, presents to a student of proved excellence in the field of mathematics the Isaac K. Ellis Award. There arc two awards given at commencement in recognition of excellence in spoken and written English. These awards include a book given by the English department and a dictionary presented by the Hclderman-Rosenwasscr-Schlcifcr Auxiliary No. 573 of the Jewish War Veterans. The Helen G. Stevenson Award, in memory of the beloved and revered first chairman of the Social Studies department, is granted to that student who has demonstrated extraordinary endeavor and interest in the social sciences. The National Office Managers' Association presents the NOMA Award to the Business Student of the Year.” The American Association of Professors of Hebrew presents a book award to the most outstanding student in the study of Hebrew. Semi-annually there is a trophy presented to be kept in the school in recognition of tnc outstanding performance and character of a single athlete, whose name is engraved on the trophy. Another award is that to the Best All-Around Athlete” given by the Newark Coaches' Association. The principal of Madison Jr. High School, Mr. Pasquale Sozio, in memory of his son, who was killed in action during World War II, and who was himself an accomplished musician, presents each semester a Ralph Sozio Music Medal in recognition of marked talent in the field of instrumental music. The Dan forth Foundation of St. Louis, Missouri, offers to selected high schools two copies of a book to be awarded to the young man and the young woman in the graduating class who have been outstanding in personal development and who have demonstrated distinct qualities of leadership. The National Thomas McAn Leadership Award Committee presents an engraved watch to a graduate who was one of the twelve national finalists in a contest in which fine scholarship and unusual ability in essay writing were recognized and rewarded. It is the custom of the Guild for Jewish Children to present to a graduate of this school, regardless of considerations of race, religion or national origin and solely in recognition of exceptional scholastic achievement, a scholarship of $500.00.

Business — The business department at Weequahic, is headed by Dr. Jellinek, has a purpose that is two-fold. Its prime purpose is to acquaint its students with those technical skills needed in the business world. It also trains them for various marketable skills. 10 A wide choice of courses is offered. Included are stenography, typewriting, and office machine practice. There arc others. Although there arc no A.P. courses in which advanced credit is given, there are advanced courses offered, which are undertaken by many able students. Newly instituted is a course in alphabet shorthand. This course is primarily for college-bound seniors. It is of great use in note-taking, and can also be of advantage in part-time or summer employment. The department's only complaint is that more college-bound students arc not taking advantage of the business courses offered. Typewriting, for example, is a skill that one can use throughout life, while other courses in the department arc extremely helpful to those students who will major in business administration in college.

Interviewing students to help them plan their school program for the following term is one of her major duties. Since she cannot see every student in the grade personally, other teachers arc assigned to assist her. The grade adviser and her assistants also serve on the faculty guidance council. In addition, the adviser handles special problems students may have. She also confers with parents who arc concerned about their children's school careers. The adviser delegates the responsibility for specific events to various homeroom teachers in each grade. In the senior year the duties of the class adviser multiply, for she is responsible for the total graduation program. As college approaches, it is the grade adviser who is asked to prepare many of the letters of recommendation.—see Weinstein. Louise Af. and grade adviser. Class Council. In its 3B term, every class is officially organized, and. in the eyes of the school, first attains recognition as an entity. From this term on, event such as the 3B picnic, 3A square dance, 4B Hop, and 4A Prom are sponsored by and for class members. In order to organize and arrange these events, a council is formed and officers are elected from the members of the class. The Council consists of the officers and two representatives from each homeroom in the class. The grade adviser, representing the school administration and faculty is present at all council meetings. This body directs the arrangements for special class events and attends to all official class business. Members of the council report the events of meetings to their homerooms and convey popular opinions and feelings to the council.—see illustration.

Class Officers. Class officers are elected in the 3B term for the first time. These officers are the president, the vice president, the secretary, and the treasurer. The president of a class presides at all council meetings. He supervises the work of the other officers. On Torch Day the president of the 4A class hands the torch affixed with the class seal, to the president of the 4B class. This ritual involves only the senior students. The vice president, commonly known as the Veep, presides at council meetings in case of the president's absence. She is the chairman of the committee planning class events. The secretary keeps the minutes of all council meetings and notifies the delegates of any future meetings. She handles all correspondence. The treasurer supervises the collection of class dues in the homerooms. She works with faculty adviser who is in charge of dues. Officers of the 4A Gass arc: president, Mark Birnbaum. vice president.

Pres., Roz Morris, V.P., Judie Port, Sec. 13 Class Ranking. Class ranking at Wcequahic High School is established at the end of the junior year by rating of the grades earned in major subjects during the sophomore and junior years. The freshmen year is not included, since all pupils do not spend their freshman year at Wcequahic. To this preliminary ranking marks of the 4B term are added, and the final ranking is established. The vice principal, with the cooperation of the Mathematics Department, computes the averages. Marks in only major subjects are used; however, minors can be used as a means of breaking tics. An A” is counted as one point, a B as two, a C” as three, a D as four, and an F” as five. To give just credit to those students taking advanced courses, an A in an advanced course is worth half a point, or .5; and a B” is valued at 1.5 in such a course. Each student’s marks are averaged and then placed in order of rank. If tics occur, students arc ranked identically; but the students following do not move up. Thus, if two students are tied for tenth place, the following student becomes number twelve. Beginning with the class of January, I960, the number of majors which the student presents for credit will also effect ranking. In the last half of the senior year the top ten pupils in the first quarter arc published alphabetically. All other members of the class ascertain their quarter standing by asking a member of the guidance department. This information is divulged only to each student about himself. As a rule, the honor speaker at graduation is the person whose rating is highest in the class.—see Top Ten. Cobey, Alice. B.S.. N.Y.U. — sec Business Education Dept.

In order to afford interested students an opportunity to keep abreast u’ith up-to-the-nvnutc events in science, the Current Science dub was organized. Membership is open to all students who are taking or have taken a course in science. Curriculum. Wcequahic High School is an institution of secondary education which attempts to fit into its curriculum subjects designed to meet the varied needs of its students. Hence, a single course of study could not adequately fulfill these needs. Therefore, Wcequahic has evolved three basic study patterns—College Preparatory, Secretarial, and General. In this way, a student is given the opportunity to select a pattern of study best suited to his interests. For example, the College Preparatory course is recommended for persons who have hopes of attending college. It has integrated the necessary college requirements of four years of English, two years of math, a foreign language, and United States History, one year of a laboratory science and general science or world history, four years of physical education, and two and one half years of health, with more specialized elective subjects such as economics, international relations, journalism, and probability and statistics, upon which the student can build a better foundation for college. Foundation is an important word; it is even more important to Secretarial students than to College Preparatory students. Whereas College Preparatory students continue their studies at college. Secretarial students usually discontinue their liberal education after graduation. Thc£-fore, they complete their foundation for the future in high school. Wcequahic has concerted great efforts in an attempt to produce efficient and competent businessmen and women. Within four years, the course of study has been adjusted to include not only English, math, history, and shorthand, but also more comprehensive subjects such as accounting, business law, consumer problems, salesmanship, and machine shorthand, which are considered to be essential for advancement and success. On the other hand, not everyone can make an immediate choice between the College Preparatory course and the Secretarial course. Some students need more time to taste a little of both courses before making their final decision. The General pattern has been designed with their needs in mind. It serves as an interim between uncertainty and certainty. There is no definite study pattern; nor are there specific specialized subjects. There is, instead, a sufficient mixture of College Preparatory and Secretarial courses to aid the student in his final choice. assists, as sec- 14 Thus, three different study patterns arc the basic elements of Wecquahic’s curriculum. Each pattern has a detailed list of subjects to offer and the list grows continually. This is the key to the success of Wccquahic’s curriculum. It an expand to meet the individual needs of the students so that they will have a firm foundation upon which to build their futures.

In September, 1957, Weequahic High School entered the Advanced Placement Program in Mathematics sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board on a national level. The objectives of the program arc to challenge the maximum capacities of those students who are unusually gifted in mathematics, to provide as good a background as possible for those who will use mathematics in their future careers, and to provide an opportunity for obtaining advanced placement credit in college. As a member of the Advanced Placement Program a student will take the following courses: 10B-MAP 3) Intermediate and Advanced Algebra 10A-MAP 4) Intermediate and Advanced Algebra 11B-MAP 5) Foundations of Geometry 11A-MAP 6) Euclidean Plane Geometry Informal Solid Geometry Analytic Geometry 15 12B Two periods of mathematics per day MAP 7) Trigonometry and Solid Geometry MAP 8) Differential Calculus 12AMAP 9) Integral Calculus Pupils arc selected for participation in the MAP program on the basis of interest and ability. Major weight is given to recommendations of the 9B and 9A algebra teachers. Taken into account arc results of various tests: arithmetic, achievement, I.Q., and aptitude. The overall school record and future plans of the student arc also considered.

Ergo, and of course, this Legend arc advised by Mr. Hccht, Mr. Hendlcr and Mr. Tumin, all members of the English Department. What does the English Department have planned for the future? Perhaps an English Honor Society, to stimulate even more achievement; a Critics club whose function would be to review plays, books, movies, and to inform the student body through the school paper as to their findings; more audio visual aids to be used in the classroom. A Literary club has just been inaugurated. For those students having difficult)' with the English language or with speech, developmental reading and remedial speech are available. Remedial speech, a minor, is offered to correct speech defects. Other courses offered for the enrichment of the student arc public speaking, dramatics, journalism, and creative writing. Members of the department are keenly aware of their special responsibility for introducing parts of the world's greatest literature to relatively raw minds. It is their hope that the student will keep on with his reading. TV and movies get duller, the flesh gets weaker, but the good books last forever.—see illustration. Etheridge. Sandra, n. 1. efficiency, competency in duties as Mr. Adler's secretary. 2. one who has been homeroom ticket agent. 3- activeness, the act of being in motion as dancing and fencing. 4. chicken and rice, that which causes hunger. 5. ambition, as to be a dancer. English Department. An understanding of the English language is a prerequisite to success in one’s chosen career. That is why English is a required course for all students in all patterns. It is through this department that the student should develop the ability to communicate, both in writing and in speaking, precisely and effectively; to read with comprehension and discrimination; and to listen intelligently, interpret what is heard, analyze the facts presented, and synthesize the ideas offered. This department, through its excellent teachers, attempts to acquaint the pupil with literature that will give him a knowledge of his cultural history, his ideals, his accomplishments, and especially his American heritage. By introducing a variety of topics into classroom discussions, the English department strives to improve social attitudes and behavior patterns, with emphasis on better human relationship, service to society, and pride in the democratic institutions of life. Headed by Miss Janet McKenzie, this department offers a variety of courses that appeal to the interests and needs of the students. An honors course is now available to those students who have shown an aptness for the English language and literature. This course is comparatively new to our school, having been started two years ago. The honors course delves more deeply into the subject-matter of the average English class and offers the student the opportunity to advance rapidly. As in other advanced placement courses, the Honors English students receive special marking considerations.

The department of Foreign Languages plays a key role in the life of Wee-quahic High School. Over half of the student population is enrolled in at least one of the six languages taught; many students study more than one. 18 The most popular language, French, is taught by Mesdames Glucksman, Megaro, ct Misurell, and Messieurs Bauer ct Gobcille; Monsieur Morris Brcnman is the chairman of the department and teaches the seventh and eighth terms of French. Extra-curricular activities stemming from the French language involve the French club. Le Cercle Fran ais, the French Conversation club and the French Affiliation club, 1 Affiliation du Lycec Mixte du Rainey. The work of this group is well-known to the student body, for this is the organization that was instrumental in arranging the foreign student exchange program which sent Susan Aarons to Lc Rainey, France and brought Alain Jean-Marie Daniel Bourdeau de Fontcnay here. The second language is Spanish, taught by Scnora Birn-baum y Senor Frcidburg. Six semesters of work are offered in this language with the Spanish Honor Society offering membership to students who have achieved a certain level of success in that language. German is a language that appeals to those contemplating careers in science. It is taught by Frau Misurell and offers four semesters of work. Der Deutches Vcrcin, the German club, is its extra-curricular arm. Latin is a language that is still quite popular at Weequahic High. It is taught by Miss Patton with four semesters of work involved. The Latin Advanced Reading club offers advanced instruction in Latin for those who have completed two years of Latin but wish to continue their studies in that ancient tongue. At another activity, the Latin club, novice students arc encouraged. The birth of Israel brought Hebrew to our school; it is taught by Mr. Simon Chasen. Four terms of Hebrew are offered. The Hebrew club is the arm of the course and it concentrates on the cultural heritage of Hebrew. The newest language to be added to the curriculum is Russian, taught by the ubiquitous Mr. Chasen. Mr. Chasen, a native of Russia, has also been teaching Russian to teachers in the Newark schools system as an in-service course.

The Guidance program offers innumeraole services for giving effective help to students making necessary adjustments to the school’s organization and activities. It also offers comprehensive help in making social and personal adjustments. The head counselor devotes full time to planning, administering, and co-ordinating the various activities and services involved in guidance. Assisting him is a college adviser who devotes at least three periods a day to helping students with problems relating to post-high school education and college admission. Placement service is also available through the Guidance department for pupils wishing part-time or after graduation employment. The placement counselor gives information about working papers and assists in completing the school record. Graduate follow-up studies are prepared by the placement counselor. The placement counselor will try to aid pupils in making an effective transition from school to work. The Placement office is room 111. Each grade has a grade adviser, and if the class is large, the grade adviser may have one or two assistants. The grade advisers advance with the classes throughout their stay at school. The grade advisers or assistants help each student plan a program of studies which is suited to his individual interests, abilities, aptitudes, and desires. Each student is given a minimum of one interview per term. If a student needs other help, advisers and assistants are available as often as the need arises. Students are urged to turn to the guidance department for information and help concerning personal and school adjustments, problems dealing with choice of schools, selection of subject combinations and sequences, vocational planning, career choice, post-high school educational plans (college, technical and special schools), job placements, and extra-curricular activities. All interviews require appointments. However, punctuality for these appointments is important to avoid conflicts with other students’ appointments. The guidance offices on the first floor and in room 311 have catalogues and scholarship information for most colleges and schools. They also make available free occupational literature (plus any other materials that might prove beneficial in terms of school and vocational decisions).—see Isserman, Laura; La Penna, Harold; Stein-holtz, Lena; Weinstein, Louise M.

From 8:20 to 8:40 daily, this room is the scene of almost unbelievable confusion and disorder. Starting with a subdued buzz at 8:00, when the first early birds arrive, the noise level gradually rises, finally reaching an ear-shattering climax at 8:30 when the late bell supposedly sounds. (One cannot be sure it actually rings, because no one in 115 has heard it for weeks). —sec illustration. Homeroom 126 (1958-1960). born on February 1. 1958. to Mabel Patton. In childhood it was an unruly group. As it achieved maturity, it was still an unruly group. Its members refused to listen to notices, pay attention to announcements, or contribute to collections. The family was disrupted when Sue Arons left for France, for a year, but in her place Alain dc Fontenay was adopted. Because the ten minute homeroom period wasn’t long enough time for socializing. Miss Patton graciously allowed her children to return after their school day for at least an hour. —see illustration. Homeroom 202. A room in the school in which homework is exchanged, hair-do’s discussed, and sports figures lambasted or praised. The chairman tries in vain to read the notices over the shouts of the students, and the teacher aids by a scream of L-I-S-SO-N. All is to no avail, unless there is a rumor about the room that we will miss a day of school for some reason or another. When the rumor proves false, the students return to their boisterous ways once more.—see illustration. Homeroom 211. Meet the roving roamers—homeroom 211, that is. It seems that the office has difficulty finding stationary quarters for this group. One term it was on the ground floor, the next, room 223; but anyone going to the latter place would have found a very literary atmosphere—room 223 was a book room. Finally, however, the confusion was resolved and the class was given its present base. —see illustration. Homeroom 321. This is a fairly new homeroom, created by the migration of students from room 323 in September of 1960. It is a homeroom of respectable size which is characterized by its wild and varied conversations which seem to gain intensity when the daily announcements are being read. Mr. Adler, our teacher and chief adviser, has the unenviable task of trying to keep this mass confusion from becoming a danger to the entire school. He docs, however, maintain some sort of organization, which keeps our early morning dwelling from erupting into complete chaos.—see illustrations.

Highlighting the first half of the senior year is the 4B Hop, which, though not as extravagant as the Prom, is both exciting and enjoyable. Taking place in the school gymnasium, which is decorated according to the theme of the Hop (Blue Hawaii), this dance is the culmination of a term’s hard work by such groups as the decorations, the band, the theme, and the bids committees. This last committee designs and sells the bids, which arc tickets of admittance printed in a booklet form and adapted to the Hop’s theme.

At that time tne buses pull away from the school, heading for a nearby park. This happy experience comes to an end at about 5:30 with the bus ride back to school.

If one is interested in learning more about the practical aspects of chemistry or physics and has enough free time, being a lab assistant can be a very rewarding experience. As the title implies, a lab assistant helps the lab teacher set up experiments and docs some of the more menial and less dangerous work, giving him much valuable experience. His chores include keeping the shelves of the lab neat, filling reagent bottles, and weighing out quantities of chemicals for experiments. As the number of chemistry and physics students increases, a proportionate strain is put on the lab teachers and the help of the lab assistant becomes more valuable.—sec illustration.

LIBRARIANS, n.—see Administration and Staff. Library. Established in September, 1933, with no books at all, our library has grown to 8,500 school owned volumes, plus about 1,000 public library books here on indefinite loan. In addition, we have the tremendous resources of the Main Library available to us upon request through a weekly delivery to the school. 29 Our library has been made the beneficiary of several gifts, most notably the memorial collection established by relatives and friends of the late Judge William M. Unter-mann. This fund h3S already purchased hundreds of books on American life and history. We have a mathematics collection in memory of Saul Seid and a science collection in memory of Mrs. Elsie S. Roux, both former teachers in our school. Our first principal, Mr. Max Herzbcrg, donated approximately 800 books; and Helen G. Stevenson, former he'ad of the social studies department, gave us a collection of history textbooks. The Board of Education gives the library an annual appropriation of about SI.35 per pupil for the purchase of books and magazines. In addition, the library serves as a center for research and enrichment materials such as motion picture filmstrips, phonograph records, and tapes. The machines for using these materials are supplied by the library and manned by the student projection staff, working under the librarians. Our very complete collections of college catalogues and of vocational and professional literature in books, magazines, and clippings, is used by occupations classes and by individual students for personal research. Close cooperation with the guidance department makes this collection especially valuable for interview and study purposes. —see illustration.

Mathematics Club. Because of the popularity of the math clubs, separate clubs are set up tor freshmen and sophomores, and juniors and seniors. Membership is open to members of their respective classes who have an interest in mathematics and enjoy working with numbers. Mathematical games, puzzles, and tricks are discussed, along with serious topics not discussed in regular classes. Math Can Be Fun is the slogan; guest speakers, student leaders, and the club adviser help make this slogan come true. Mathfmatics Department. Other than requirements for graduation and college entrance, there is a great deal to be derived from the study of the Queen of Sciences. For those who plan to continue with math or science, Wecquahic has much to offer in the way of preparation. In addition to the regular math two years of algebra, one year of plane geometry, and one-half year each of solid geometry, trigonometry, advanced algebra, and probability and statistics—an MAP (mathematics for advanced placement) program is offered. It begins with the second year of algebra and concludes with a course in calculus. The concentrated studies involved make the year of college math possible. In a world where clear, logical thinking is becoming increasingly important, the math department hopes to make its students achieve objectivity of thought through its offered courses. Specifically, the department aims to develop an understanding of the nature of a mathematical proof and an appreciation of the nature of a mathematical system, provide the experience of problem solving and of symbolic and abstract thinking, and demonstrate logical and critical thinking as exemplified by mathematics. The advanced program, instituted three years ago, was conceived with the intention of providing students of exceptional ability with the stimulation and challenges they require. The MAP program is also designed to provide status for those with exceptional talent in mathematics. Successful students are offered the chance for advanced placement in mathematics in college. Many of the department's members have been awarded National Science Foundation grants for advanced work and study.--see illustration. Mathematics Team The Mathematics Team is composed of six to ten juniors and seniors who arc chosen on the basis of their mathematical ability. The group meets once a week, beginning in December and lasting through the month of May. During the course of this period the team competes with teams from other schools in contests sponsored by various colleges and mathematical organizations. Usually, prizes are awarded to winning teams and high scoring individuals. In some cases the prize is a scholarship awarded by the sponsoring college. Mayer.

As silly as it may sound, this song was being sung by every hep teenager in 1957. Witch Doctor was just one of the many rock 'n' roll hits that have followed us through our high school years. This musical phenomenon has introduced us to many strange characters—the purple people-eater, singing chipmunks, Boncy Moroney, short fat Fanny, Alley Oop, Mack the Knife—and dances—the twist, stroll, madison, mashed potatoes, and a modern version of the shimmy. Developed in the early 1950's, rock n’ roll is a combination of jazz and mountain folk music and is named for its accelerated beat. Although many hoped that this new fad would never last, it has grown in popularity during the last four years, bringing with it an astonishing number of over night successes. Among these have been Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin, Johnny Mathis, Della Reese. Paul Anka, Connie Francis, Fabian, Frankie Avalon, and Annette. Only time can tell whether or not rock ’n' roll will last, undergo modification, or die completely. We now can merely conjecture, wait, and hope. N, n. n., pi.

Leon Ostcrwcil, president. 32 novel, n. Gcssar Khan, in the ancient Tibetan legend, is told: Thou wilt come soon to an enchanted river, upon whose waters headless men and trunkless horses float hither and yon. And they will rend the air with shrieks and moans and horrid clamor, seeking to affright thee, yet do thou pay no heed, but smite the waters thrice with thy magic sword and cross in safety. It is unfortunate that such a magic sword was not available to readers during the last thrcc-and-a-half years, for they were plagued by books which were written seemingly with the lack of thought and technique of works by headless men or the absence of plot and substance which would come naturally to trunkless horses. Indeed, it took careful reading to distinguish between the shrieks and moans and the good literature. Into the first category fell such unfortunate efforts as John O'Hara’s From the Terrace, James Jones’s Some Came Running, and Leon Uris's Exodus. O'Hara attempted to reveal frankly the sexual behavior of Marquandish suburbanites; but his books have become more pointless as they have grown bigger and bolder. From the Terrace being no exception. Jones fell well short of From Here to Eternity in 1958, and the negative aspects of his writing, which were latent in his earlier work, became manifest in Some Came Running. Contrary to the publisher’s claims, Exodus was not overpowering and far from rewarding. Rather, it dashed helter-skelter, incident by shoddily-written incident, through a thousand insignificant scenes. All three of these incidents were written in a style calculated to produce best-sellers, and the authors relied on previous successes to boost the sales of their latest novels. Though far from typical. Jack Kerouac’s Dharma Rums was in the second category. Kerouac, the foremost prose writer of the beat generation,” wrote in a free, rolling style characterized by frequent deviation from the main thoughts and an almost total neglect of punctuation; but his work was widely read among the non-beats” because of their fascination for the new or exotic rather than for the literary value of the book which was off-set by the author's great limitations. In The Town and The Mansion William Faulkner continued the story of the Snopes Family which had begun in 1940. One was rather disappointed by The Town and felt that the characters were not made genuine by the author. The later novel, however, seemed to be written with greater care and was truly worthy of Faulkner. On the brighter side, 1957 to I960 was marked by a number of fine books too numerous to discuss in detail. The ones particularly enjoyed were: The Fall. Albert Camus; Justine, Balthazar, Mount olive, and Clea, (The Alexandria Quartet), Lawrence Durrcll; A Death in the Family, James Agee; The Odyssey.

Physical Education Department. Under the able supervision of Mr. Charles Schneider and his staff, the Department of Physical Education attempts to improve the general health and physical fitness of the students Both the girls' and boys’ gymnastic and health classes come under the auspices of this department. The girls' gymnastic classes are taught by Miss Judson. Mrs. Mazaica, Mrs. Rosenberg, and Miss Shapiro. The program of study includes folk dances, apparatus work, exercises, and sports such as basketball, volleyball, baseball. and soccer. Mr. Fein, Mr. Ncrenberg, Mr. Pearl, Mr. Schneider, and Mr. Schwartz instruct the boys' gymnastic classes in marching, sports, exercises, running, and combatives. Through the health courses offered, the Physical Education department educates the students in first aid, per sonal hygiene, and teenage problems. Driver education is given in the junior year to acquaint the students with the driving rules. Upon completion of the term's work, the students are given the written portion of the New Jersey's driver examination. The girls, in their senior year, take a course in child care which is designed to prepare them for a future married life. This department sponsors several extra-curricular activities. The girls’ volleyball team, the bowling club, and the fencing club arc well attended. Those boys interested in athletics can participate in any of the numerous sports including football, swimming, and basketball.—see illustration.

Practical and Industrial Arts- Dept. Weequahic High School gives its girls the opportunity to take a course in cither foods or clothing. Foods aims to develop the ability to plan, prepare, and serve simple family meals. It is hoped that the girls will acquire homemaking skills and become efficient in performing household tasks. They also arc given the opportunity to practice good table manners, as they eat the food after it has been prepared. An advanced foods course serves to further the acquired skills and knowledge of homemaking. The course in clothing, besides teaching sewing skills, helps girls to select the appropriate garments for different occasions and to economize in planning a wardrobe. Students are also given an idea of the difference between homemade and commercial garments. A course in advanced clothing is also offered. The industrial arts courses offered at Wccquahic benefit the student in many ways. The shop course brings out the crcativcncss of the individual while it teaches him the correct way to handle tools and machines. The printing course concentrates on typography, presswork, binding, and the fundamentals of the silk screen process. The mechanical drawing course teaches its students to make precise drawings of sheet metal work and machines. This course prepares the students for a future career in Price, Judith Marilyn, n. l. inhabitant of Chinese restaurant, class council, and library staff. v. 1. to enjoy dancing, reading, and acting. 2. to make dolls for charity. 3. to be heard to say Too bad; you lose. 4. to be a great leader as evidenced by chairmanship of Hop and Prom committees.

Projection Staff The Projection staff consists of those students who are interested in learning about audio-visual aids equipment and in developing the technical skills needed to operate them effectively. Staff members learn to care for and operate 16mm. projectors, tape recorders, film strip and film slide projectors. Then, in the classroom, they have the responsible job of providing a distraction-free performance of this equipment. Prom, 4A. The 4A Prom is the main social event of the graduating class. Prom activities must be planned ahead, with most of the details handled by the students themselves. Committees for entertainment, decorations, bids, band, and finance arc established, and chairmen are chosen. 35 The entertainment committee must decide upon a theme and plan at least a half hour’s entertainment centered on the class’s four-year stay at Wccquahic. The decorations committee plans table settings and flower arrangements for the evening, while the finance committee takes care of the financial arrangements. Under the direction of Miss Patton, the Prom will take place December 28 at Clinton Manor. Dress will be formal.

What has been the purpose of my high school education? Have I studied just to learn a few facts, or was there some general all-encompassing goal toward which four years of high school have led? The aims and accomplishments of my four years at Wccquahic have been many and varied; but I believe that one of the major goals of my high school education was to acquaint me with the events and discoveries of the past, to get me caught up to the level of present knowledge. In every course I have learned what others have done and have found to be true. High school has given me a strong foundation of knowledge upon which I can build. It is the link between past history and future discovery. Now, as the dust settles and I near the finish line, I can sec the path I have traversed and the purpose it has served and will serve.

Science Department. Science at Weequahic High School seeks to develop in the student a set of attitudes, a reservoir of knowledges, and a mode of action which will enable him to understand, use, and control the materials and forces which are inherent in the physical world about him. Through the Life Sciences (biolog)' and related branches), he learns the interrelationship between all living organisms and the balance between the plant and animal w-orld which makes the two forms of life interdependent. In the physical sciences (chemistry and physics) he inquires into the linkage between matter and energy and how man, in his search for the truth, often comes up with discoveries which make life more worthwhile. Booster, French The science department at Weequahic offers four possible years of work with a minimum requirement for graduation of one year. General science is given almost exclusively to freshmen. The course attempts to give an overview of most of the important fields of everyday science and to help students orient themselves towards further study and work in the field of science. Biology, taken mostly by sophomores, tries to give pupils an understanding of the world of life and living things, especially as they relate to man. Physics and chemistry are taken in the junior and senior vears. The study of physics gives the student an understanding of the effects of energy on man and on the world, while chemistry makes him aware of the materials out of which the world is made and of the changes that are constantly taking place in these materials. While biology uses much laboratory work, there is no formal laboratory period in the course. When students take physics and chemistry, however, they must attend extra laboratory sessions in addition to the five class periods a week. This year the first group of students who have completed three years of advanced placement science will be graduated from Weequahic. Advanced courses were given to these pupils in biology, physics, and chemistry. The participants were carefully selected. They used college textbooks and college laboratory procedures under a program started only in the past decade by the College Entrance Examination Board. Many of the department's members have been awarded National Science Foundation grants for advanced work and study.—sec illustration.

The aims of the Social Studies department are to acquaint pupils with the rich heritage of history and to teach students to analyze critically the current happenings in the world. In light of these, freshmen and sophomores may elect to study World History for a year, while juniors and seniors can choose Economics and International Relations, both of which are half-year courses. Every pupil is required by law to take a two-year course in United States history. Beginning with the colonization of America and concluding with a study of the major systems of government, as well as propaganda, labor, and so forth, the course stresses the democratic principles. For those who demonstrate the ability and desire to do advanced work in the field of social studies, an honors course is available. The same topics are studied in this as arc in the regular program, but the coverage is much deeper, with an emphasis on voluntary reading of the works of authorities on the various subjects. Through the classroom and through its extra-curricular organ, the Contemporary club, our Social Studies department strives to inform as to not only our way of life but the ways of others, both in theory and in practice, past and present, that we may be better equipped to combat the problem besetting us.—sec illustration.

However, all those interested in Hispanic culture arc always welcome. The culture of the Spanish-speaking world is explored through films, slides, songs, games, and interesting talks by exchange students and guest speakers. AH programs are planned by students with the cooperation of the faculty adviser. Spanish Honor Society. The Bernardo O’Higgins Chapter of the National Spanish Honor Society was organized at Weequahic in March, 1956. Membership in the society is based on high scholastic achievement for one year prior to application. Prospective members are invited to give extemporaneous talks before the group. Those who arc successful receive honor certificates and may participate in activities of the chapter. Meetings are conducted in Spanish; and programs deal with aspects of Spanish culture, music, dance, art, and literature. Members are further enriched through trips to places of cultural interest. Special events are celebrated in typical Spanish fiestas. Tlic society is selective, but not exclusive. Serious students are welcome. SPANISH HONOR SOCIETY Left to right: Sue Arons.

The sports program at Weequahic, under the supervision of the Physical Education department, exists for the good of the student, his academic work and physical welfare being the major considerations. The interscholastic sports in which our school participates arc cross country, track and field, football, basketball, soccer, swimming, and baseball. Interested eligible students may consult the coach regarding requirements for candidacy and practice. To be eligible for intcrscholastic athletic competition, a boy must be an amateur and scholastically must have earned a minimum of 7I 2 credits in the term preceding the season of the sport. The Weequahic varsity teams have compiled over the years an outstanding record not only from the standpoint of winning and losing but also of competitiveness and good sportsmanship. All of our athletes, the football, baseball, basketball, track, soccer, cross-country, and swimming team members, must maintain a good academic standing; many of them are honor students. Although our teams arc a source of pride to the entire student body and receive strong support, the emphasis at all times is on vigorous but clean competition. For descriptions of individual sports, see entries under baseball, basketball, etc. Appended below are the comments on the various members of the class of January, 1961 who have participated on the several teams.

Even the scoring is peculiar. The team with the lowest aggregate of points is the winner. Every member of the team counts toward the score, even if he finishes 18th. Thus, a team whose members placed 1st, 4th, and 18th would have a score of 1+44-18=23. To see how well our boys did, take a good look at the record.

There is no doubt that many of the shows seen on television in the last few years will have a lasting influence on many of us.

Have Cun, Will Travel, Twenty-One, The $64,000 Question, The Untouchables, Huckleberry Hound, Tombstone Territory, Gun smoke, Manhunt, Desi and Lucy, and the like? All, however, were not that bad. For example, Kraft TV Theatre. Studio One, and Playhouse 90 were devoted to the presentation of works by promising television writers and were guided by a group of brilliant young directors. The three paid the price for originality: they were dropped by their sponsors and went off the air. One of the few surviving scries with merit is The Play of the Week, and which the same play is shown in its entirety every night for one week, the casts usually including famed performers. Works such as The Master Builder and Medea arc typical of Play’s productions. The reputation of the T V. industry, badly tarnished by the quiz show- scandals of 1959. and the predominance of programs designed for the masses, was saved somewhat by the excellent coverage of events such as Khrushchev's visits to the United States and the election campaigns as well as by special shows like The Life of Samuel Johnson and Leonard Bernstein’s programs on music. It is possible that in the years to come the over-all quality of television productions will improve; but the immediate future docs not seem to be any brighter than the audience. Tennis Club. The Girls' Tennis club is primarily for beginners. It meets in the spring for four weeks indoors and then for six weeks outdoors at the courts at West Side or Wccquahic Parks. Members must bring their own balls and racquets and wear the proper tennis costume during club periods. They also pay their own court fees. The fundamental strokes are taught, and the rules of the game and scoring arc explained and demonstrated. Theatre. Recalling the plays produced during the last threc-and-a-half years, we may find that many stirring moments have been afforded us. Unfortunately, too few have been the results of works by our contemporary Americans, too few the results of truly great plays. We have seen outstanding performances but not many great plays. The fault, perhaps, lies in the formulation by our dramatists of a new concept of the play. It is a concept which is degrading and insulting to intelligent audiences because it is a refutation of the concept of the playwright as a thinker. He becomes not a creative author but a reporter, incapable of invention or cerebration. The thesis of this new- viewpoint was set down by Tennessee Williams when he wrote: The color, the grace, the levitation, the structural pattern in motion, and quick interplay of live being, suspended like fitful lightning in a cloud, these things are the play, not words on paper, nor thoughts and 67 ideas of an author, those shabby things snatched off hasement counters at Gimbel's. Beginning with a distaste for the obstruse, Williams and his followers conclude by rejecting ideas altogether. It is for this reason that the latest plays of the 'cult of inarticulacy” have been marked by confused thought and inevitably obscured or exasperatingly evaded themes rather than lucid reasoning and manifest themes. Our dramatists with a few exceptions, have adopted the verbal coarseness of a Lower Hast Side saloon‘fewquentcr, while their actual concepts and formulae are still rooted in the drawing rooms at Osborne; for they yet refuse to state openly facts which arc discussed in living rooms across the nation. The majority of American plays we have seen since the beginning of 1957 have been needlessly couivocal and often anachronous. The handful of dramas which did not deal primarily with alcoholism, drug addiction, and sexual and mental deviations of every variety merely echoed the bigotries and prejudices of the audience in an adulterated form easily consumed by all except a few discriminating playgoers, a minority of critics, and the ghost of George Jean Nathan. Those plays which could be considered the best New York productions of the past four years arc The Chairs; The Lesson; Epitaph for George Dillon; Becket; A Touch of the Poet; . B.; The Visit; Raitin in the Sun; The Tenth Man; Caligula; Krapp’s Last Tape; The Zoo Story; The Balcony: Ulysses in Sighflou n; The lyaltz of the Toreadors; Look Homeward, Angel; Toys in the Attic; and Dark at the Top of Stairs. top ten, n. the ten students with the highest scholastic average of those in the graduating class, the averages being determined from the marks obtained from 2B through 4B — see accompanying illustration, class ranking, Arons, Pried. Handelman, Kohn, Levine, Moskowitz, Osterweil, Rems, Silver, Singer. the school's honor was ceremoniously transferred from the graduating class to the incoming Senior As. Since then Torch Day has grown in importance and has become an integral part of Weequahic tradition. The ritual itself is very simple, but its symbolism makes Torch Day a day long-remembered. The 4As march to their seats to an appropriate composition played by the orchestra. The flag salute and Bible reading follow, after which the poem Let the Torch be Passed” is recited. The 4A President is introduced and delivers an address on behalf of his class. He then asks the 4A class secretary to affix the seal of the class to the Torch. The Wccquahic Torch.” symbolizing the serious responsibility of the group, is handed to the president of the new senior class; and he delivers a message of acceptance. The two classes sing their farewell songs to each other, and the 4A's leave the auditorium. To symbolize further the acceptance of responsibility, the new seniors take the seats just vacated by the graduates. They arc welcomed to their new responsibilities by Dr. Wcingast. track and field, n. designating or pertaining to sports performed on a running track and on a field encircled by the track.

A large nearby creek, which was part of the Passaic River system, was known to the Indians by this name. The school football team is popularly known as Indians;” its school paper is named The Calumet ; and its seal bears an Indian head. 69 Weequahic High School, History of. On September 11, 1933, 2,100 students entered Weequahic High School to resume or to begin their high school education. The modern style fireproof building was designed by Guilbert and Betclle and was built by the Pclccchia Construction Company at a cost of a little over a million dollars. The city had estimated that about 1,350 students would attend Weequahic, but since the prospect of a new school is always a tremendous impetus to community development, the student enrollment has never been less than 2,100. At one time it passed 2,900. There were 125 classrooms in the building, but the school immediately had to arrange for more rooms in the Chancellor Elementary School. Later it transferred its official annex to the Hawthorne Avenue School building, with Mr. Robert M. Coleman in charge as vice-principal. Mr. Coleman was succeeded by Mr. Fied Landolphi, and then by Mr. Walter Ackerman. He was followed by Mr. David Blank. The Weequahic High School Annex was dosed in June, 1957; and for the school year of 1957-1958, Weequahic operated on a ten period schedule because of crowded conditions. In September. 1958, a new section was added to the school by the Pcllcchia Construction Company. Space for this addition had been included in the original building plans, and the second and third floors on the Vassar Avenue side had been built in a manner to make this addition possible. The addition contains 16 classrooms, 2 stairways, 2 exits, department offices, rest rooms, teachers' rooms, additional locker facilities, and stockrooms. The entire building was repainted and fluorescent lighting was installed. The cafeteria underwent some minor changes. Even before the school was opened, with Mr. Max J. Herzberg as principal and Mr. Walter White as assistant to the principal, it began to institute the organizations which we have today. The faculty organized a football team, and other sports followed as the seasons demanded. The Calumet and Honor Society were also started, the latter named in honor of John M. Logan, then the superintendent of schools. When, with the band, we went to our first football game, we carried our school banner, which had been designed by Miss Cuttriss and Mrs. Peyton of the art department. The colors orange and brown were selected by Mr. Herzberg. The Indian Head, such as we see on our library bookplates, was designed w-ith the co operation of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. The Newark Museum had produced the authentic head description of the Lenni Lenape Indians, who once inhabited this section and to whom we arc indebted for the word WEEQUAHIC. This name means head of the creek. Student government was soon organized. It was first known as the G.O., then as the O.B.A. (Orange and Brown Association). That body has been a model for other schools and a source of pride to us. In 1936 a Federal Arts Project mural, depicting the advance of enlightenment, was painted in our main entrance. The overhead flood light on the front roof, the electric basketball scoreboard and the timcclock, and the photographs of Mr. Herzberg and Mr. White in office are some of the gifts left to the school by successive graduating classes since the first in June, 1934. These have been intended as small mementos for the important and not always tangible services which the school has performed for its graduates. One of the newest features of the building is the guidance room, where there are offices for the head counselor and a number of other advisers. Here the student may obtain information concerning college plans or business prospects. The Adult Education School, established here in 1937, has attracted state wide attention; and many activities of individual teachers and school departments have been widely praised. Although our school is relatively young, it is already steeped in rich tradition. In 1950. Mr. Herzberg retired and was succeeded by Mr. Michael Conovitz, who was the principal of South Side High School. Mr. Conovitz retired in 1955. and Miss Bowerman became acting principal of Weequahic from September, 1955. to January, 1956. Mr. Julius C. Bernstein came to Weequahic as principal in February, 1956, from East Side High School, where he was chairman of the English Department.

These arc the formative years of youth; and the change, upheaval, and uncertainity in the world have laid a turbulent foundation for our future. Within four years a score of new nations has been born; two states have been added to the Union; a dozen governments have fallen; and a dozen revolutions have failed. More than ten international agreements have been signed while the world has been torn apart by revolt and disagreement. We have watched the world’s leaders fly back and forth to more meetings with friends and foes in these four years than in any other period of history; we have seen the heavens split open as rockets and missiles soared through the sky like lurid lighting. We have seen the earth in the Age of Anxiety.” Enter the sixties, and with them, hope; hope for a way of life that is better than the one we now have; hope that when we leave fifty years hence, we will have made the world a little more safe and sane when we found it.

Heck, its adviser, for their permit non to utilize four years of their materials to form the special issue seen on pages 1)5-166; to the Bellman Archives for permission to use the picture of Michelangelo's statue David on the cover; finally, to Mr. Ralph Wolff of Progress Associates, the printers of this handsome book, for his unfailing courtesy and cooperation in the preparation of this Legend. The photography throughout was done by the Hal Hal pern Studio. Newark. N. with the exception of some few done by Sam Breidt. To Miss Miriam Ham pie Class Adviser 3 PREFACE The bead of Michelangelo’s David on the front cover of this Legend represents youth. In his noble features and expressive visage are discernible the strength, the eagerness, the vitality, and the freshness that embody youth. David’s purpose too, in effect, symbolizes youth—he sought to conquer the Philistine giant just as youth seeks to conquer the world. His weapons? Only his slingshot, his wit, his undeveloped strength. This youth which David represents is, in part, characteristic of school life in Weequahic or. for that matter, any school life of mid-twentieth century America. It has been the policy of yearbooks in the past to fashion the representation of school life about an idealized model. We have attempted to change this pattern; we have endeavored to revitalize the spirit of yearbooks. The basis of this Legend is a continuous essay woven with appropriate photographs in which the. school life of a student is portrayed. The reader must be aware of the limitations of such a course of endeavor. It is the unique nature of our format which has necessitated the deletion of many posed photographs or extensive concentration on athletic or extracurricular activities—material inherent in the subject matter of most yearbooks but extraneous to our goal. Our photographs are basically candid—our subject matter, the student’s intrinsic attitude towards the school. The school is presented as it is. We have described and not glorified; we have sought to originate and not duplicate, to speak and not to murmur. In short, we have told the truth—the truth as seen, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted by the student himself. Tor the student himself is the measure of the worth of the school. 5 The Editors INTRODUCTION Weequahic has two faces, one concrete—the other intangible. The concrete face, the one we know and are most aware of, is composed of 11,000 reaching fingers, 4,400 darting eyes, 125 teachers, 10,000 library books, 30,000 textbooks, a cost of $1,000,000, a sixteen room addition, and once a ten period day, and 2,700 students, a capacity of only 1,700, a million dollar annual payroll .. . There is more to this face: chairs, desks, waste paper baskets, ashtrays, paper clips, graph paper, walls, ceilings, doors, windows, footballs, locks, lights, brooms, mops, maps, telephones, window shades . . . We are physically aware of most of these things, for we can sec them or touch them—they exist. Yet this is the secondary face—it is the other, the intangible one, that is more important. The qualities of this face are harder to sense. They are a certain hum, a life of its own, the weight of knowledge, of thought, the abilities learned here—how to reason, to figure, to read, to write, to compete . . . Wcequahic not only has a face of its own, but a mind as well. 7 Since the school opened in 1935. Weequahic has been seeking and discovering. building, and growing. This school could not have done this alone, for a school as an individual must be guided and led. This job has gone to the five principals Wccquahic has had since its opening—Messrs. Herzberg, Conovitz, Miss Bowerman (acting). Mr. Bernstein, and Dr. Weingast. As the school grows, teachers come and go. classes enter and graduate. Nothing remains exactly as it was — it is constantly on the move. This is the case of Or. Weingast. who has been promoted to a higher position, that of Assistant Superintendent in charge of Secondary Education. We, too, arc moving—to a rapidly approaching adulthood, assuming positions in society and for many, entering college. A new dawn is breaking. It is time to get up . . . 8 Right Dr. Divid F. Wringitl CHAPTER ONE There’s something about the morning that makes it different from the rest of the day: the unpleasant taste, the sand in the corner of the eyes, the effort to get out of bed, the knowledge that there is school today. Morning is the time of decisions and revisions, the careful selection of clothes for some and for others the decisions of whether or not to go to school at all. A taste of tooth paste, a dab of deodorant, a half glass of orange juice, a piece of toast, a glance in the mirror. Morning is the sound of heels on concrete walks, the touch of gray morning air brushing against the face, the sight of faceless people scurrying across the cracked sidewalks and pock-marked streets. Everybody this time of morning has one thing in common—a destination. The school kids, clean, young, books-in-arms, leave their separate homes: individuals. Friends approach. They begin to clump in groups of three and four. They walk with a young and yet reluctant step to the bus stop or to school. At the bus stop they stand and talk and wonder when the bus will come. There is a strange compulsion to get to school quickly. When the bus does arrive, they become a jumbled mass, scrambling for seats. The eye is assaulted by ads: Go on the mystery adult bus ride to Gingerbread Castle, Smoke Camels, No Smoking, Worship together.' The bus stops, starts, turns the corner, slows, stops and disgorges its mass into the stream entering Weequahic High. 11 CHAPTER TWO The halls are crowded. The faces that appear at the same spot at the same time each morning seem to blend in with the walls and with one another. Most of the faculty has already arrived not only because they are so required but because they derive pleasure from the peace and quiet that exists before the clamor of the student arrival. They sign in at the office and apathetically look over the accumulation of notices, grade transfer sheets, reminders, second-class mail, etc. in their allotted cubicles. Some proceed to their homerooms to help those students who are having a plethora of problems, while others try to get in one last smoke. By 8:20 the halls become a pandemonium: lockers kicked and slammed, '‘hellos” shouted and echoed, blatant opinions expressed and acknowledged. The students gather 'round their lockers relating the latest gossip and stories. Once the locker is opened, a disquieting litter is revealed: a torn, unread New York Times; unused, uncovered textbooks; water-logged, overdue library books; old parental consent slips; discarded cut slips; and assorted, crumpled test papers thrown there in disgust. The locker is certainly a source of frustration. One repeatedly succeeds in jamming in an extra coat or another book; when finally he gets the locker closed, he notices a sleeve hanging out. 13 The clump begins to move; the quiescent homerooms begin to show motility as homework is copied, as breakfast is finished. 8:29: a few breathless students rush in; the homeroom begins. The groups of twos and threes have now become groups of thirties. A cortex forms. The homeroom is full of many incongruities: serious students discussing the accomplishments of Honor Society, their chances of achieving a place in the Top Ten; less conscientious students throwing pencils and playing ridiculous jokes. Everyone, however, expresses his concern for the coming report card and how he will explain the marks in red to his family. Then too there are the collectors—those who collect money for the Times, Ergo, Calumet, Red Cross, Community Chest, or United Appeals, and especially the class dues, which are gathered only with a supreme effort and handed over to the class financial adviser, Mrs. Deutsch. The homeroom teachers are the salvation and despair of Weequahic students. Teachers’ days do not end when they leave the portals of the school; the uneasiness goes with them, and the problems, too. It is part of their job to help Weequahic kids grow into adults, to prepare the leaders of tomorrow for the problems they must face. 14 Homeroom teachers must be callous but receptive, hard but flexible, adamantine but gentle, stoical but sensitive. They must be prepared to handle turbulent and grave situations; they must be omnipotent, omniscient, and all-merciful; they must try to stimulate and bring to life the minds of the often-irresponsive, apathetic clump that sit staring out the window dreading the sound of the bell. The job of handling a homeroom is endless. The work does not stop, nor do the enigmas. Aside from the teachers' principal role of humanitarian, there is a deluge of clerical and paper work. It is a trying task to record the marks, absences, cuts, and schedules of the students in their homerooms. Teachers must also distribute report cards knowing the art of breaking both good and bad news. They must make the student understand humanum est errare'' but not to make a habit of it. Their job includes the work of psychiatrist, philanthropist, judge, referee, babysitter, pal, and adviser. They have meant much; without them it would not have been possible to overcome the problems that were encountered throughout four years at Weequahic. They will always be remembered—their patient assistance and their faces . . . 15 Following pjgts Mrs. Anderson; Mrs. Bingham; Mrs. Blum Mr. Bucharest; Mrs. Deutsch; Mr. Gross After many pleas for order, the homeroom teacher quiets the class. Then, pursuant to state law, at least five verses of the Old Testament are read aloud; the New York Times and Star Ledger are read silently and covertly. Then, an inaudible recitation of the Lord s Prayer, a mumbled pledge of allegiance: now, a reading of the principal announcements involving Junior Red Cross, Fencing Club, Friday's game, and the Future Homemakers of America Club. The homeroom is hurried and restless because this is an assembly day . .. Preceding pJges Mrs. Glucksman; Mr. Hcndler; Mrs. Kosky Mr. Ncrcnbcrg; Mr. Silbcr; Group 20 CHAPTER THREE There is something different this morning; again one can feel it in the air. An assembly. A program has been prepared for the enjoyment by, or the edification of, the senior class audience (or at least to give the participants in the program a chance to participate). It's now 8:32; the noisy homerooms leave their quarters and stream down the stairs to the hallway outside the auditorium, where a great, amorphous mass of students, supposedly clustered into homerooms, await the signal to enter. The cacophony of the students from without and the symphony of the band from within, blend somewhere in between to make one's own thoughts inaudible. A clash of the cymbals precipitates a march, the signal for the entry. Like well-trained ants, the formless clumps stream through the doors, aligning themselves in allotted rows. An examination of their faces will reveal in some, eager anticipation for the program to come; in others, utter ennui; and in still others, annoyance that they have been deprived of an opportunity to do the homework they had 21 been avoiding. Slowly the seats are filled and the assemblage awaits the proceedings. The program formally begins with the introduction of the principal, which is followed by the reading of the Bible, which is followed by the singing of 'The Lord's Prayer, which is followed by the bearing of the flag to the stage by Honor Society members, which is accompanied by the reading of the flag poem, which is followed by the flag salute, which is terminated by the singing of The Star-Spangled Banner.' The program itself is conducted by a member of the Orange and Brown Association Executive Council. The O.B.A. Council is composed of students elected annually to serve theoretically as a voice for the student body. The subject matter or purpose of the assembly may range from a presentation of artistic talent to a debate on current issues, or even an audience participation program in which the assembly is instructed for the ninth time in the correct manner of saluting the flag or of singing The Lord’s Prayer. If the program involves a particular grade, the class officers of that grade may take part in the proceedings. These class officers are elected semi-annually by the members of their respective classes. 22 � But whatever the assembly may be. it seldom, to the dismay of many, extends beyond its allotted time. At the sound of the chord there is a great squeaking of seats being raised when the students stand and slowly file out of the auditorium. The orchestra plays a lively exit march, and above all, there is the animated roar of hundreds of students discussing the assembly program they have just seen. One by one, row by row, and homeroom by homeroom, they file out, through their specified doors and up their specified stairways, headed for class. Now you can see their faces . . .

Cooper Union will find him to be an alert student, possessing great intellectual curiosity and an undisciplined mind. 88 Small groups separate from the rest and walk at their own pace, talking and laughing. These, too, break up, as individual students go toward their particular classes. Each person walks almost automatically, nodding and smiling to friends he passes, holding the door for that unknown person behind him, trudging upstairs and across the halls. The girls hold their books in front of them with hands clasped to hold them tight; the boys hold their books by one arm, hanging at their sides. They walk in clusters and in pairs, following their own line of traffic. Single individuals in a hurry dart and dash through the slower moving groups, muttering excuses and curses. All is terribly crowded, and people are always on top of each other and being jostled. No one minds, they all have places to go, tests to take, goals to reach. They do not realize they are being shoved and stepped on; they are used to it. And if they do realize it, they no longer care. It is a matter of getting to class before the bell rings, of waiting for the person in front to move, when the person in front of him moves, in front of him, in front of him, in front of him, moves. 91 Getting into the stairways from the halls is a slow and trying maneuver: it is a problem of squeezing and conniving, pushing and falling back, mum bling Excuse me” and saving I'm sorry.” Slowly, in a great throng and shuffle, the huge mass winds and spirals its way up the stairs. Like some great animal, it surges to and fro, seeking footage, stepping, elbowing and groaning, following the general flow up, up. and around. In the halls again, it thins out and soon all are in their classes. There are a few late comers who have stayed, perhaps, to talk to a teacher about a test they took or will take. When the bell rings there are the inevitable few still in the halls, and they break into a run, heading for their already started classes. Finally the halls are empty, except for those out on a pass, teachers on hall patrol, and sagamores. Looking down the narrowing perspective of the halls, there is a peaceful emptiness that makes it hard to believe that short moments ago hundreds of students ebbed and flowed their way about the building in a noisy, jam-packed, and slowly-creeping crush. Inside the classes, students are opening books and taking out notes . . . 92 94 CHAPTER FOUR The first to enter the chemistry class are two boys, arguing animatedly about the balancing of an equation, neither listening to the other. Their chcm labs are due today; yesterday the lab period had ended before they had time to complete the experiment. They’ll have to finagle the lab (a widespread practice in which figures and facts are juggled to give the predictably correct results). Through the other open door, the one to the lab, comes the distinctly revolting odor of hydrogen sulfide, the stench of rotting eggs; while through the first enter more students, who, with a spasmodic jolt and a slight grunt of relief, thrust their many books on the desks. The teacher soon enters and speaks briefly to one of the students about the test he missed yesterday by his absence. The bell rings and the class is seated. The chemistry lesson begins, interrupted only by the office attendance monitor and the taking of the pass ritual, the method whereby students may, with permission and a masonite carte blanche of some sort, leave the room for reasons legitimate or otherwise. And so the forty minutes pass, quickly for some, with lethargic dullness for others. The bell rings; the class disperses into the corridors. 95 CHAPTER FIVE The doors of the cafeteria open and close, open and close, as students one after another enter for lunch. They walk to their tables, put down their books, and join one of three lunch lines: the double hot-lunch line, the sandwich line, or the candy line. Looking up at the menu-box, the students note what hot-lunch is being served. It may be chuckwagon steak, frankfurter, lasagna, chicken chow mein, hamburger, spaghetti and meatballs, cheese ravioli, Italian meatball sandwich, veal parmesan, or pork chops. There is always a scoop-full of mashed potatoes, and either green beans, wax beans, spinach, or beets. Also, there are those very sweet little square cakes that come in four kinds: white cake with vanilla icing, white cake with chocolate icing, chocolate cake with vanilla icing, and chocolate cake with chocolate icing. The sandwich line offers a steady variety to choose from: either tuna fish, peanut butter, egg salad, or bologna sandwiches. Trays slide one after another, down the aluminum rails, from the milk stack, past the hot-lunch section, to the bread tray, down to the cake and dessert shelves, to the silverware and napkin places, and finally to where the cashier rings up the totals on little white tickets and places them, one after another, on the moving trays. Outside stands a lady in a white uniform, who takes the white tickets plus the indicated cash, and then rings up the amount in a machine that sends the change tinkling down a chute, where it spins round and round in the pick-up dish. 97 Although many students complain about the unappetizing specialties'' offered at ptomaine gardens. none have ever needed the medical assistance of the school nurse. In fact, were they to be in need of such assistance, they would not be able to get anything more than first aid treatment. One can receive only suggestions or sympathy from the nurse.- she is forbidden by state law to administer medicine of any kind to a student. Her main duties, so it appears to most students, seem to be devoted to the earnest pursuit of students attempting to get them appointments they don't need, eyeglasses they don’t want, or inconclusive physical examinations. Of course, this isn't so. When the food is paid for and on the tables, everyone snatches for chairs. There is always the cry, Hey. who took my chair! Lunch period in the cafeteria is one of animated conversation, laughter, studying, spilled milk, scraped dishes, and the shuffling of chairs. Toward the end of the period, eyes turn up to the big clock in the center of the room waiting for the minute hand to make that last, decisive click. Hands nervously begins to arrange books. There is a last-moment flurry of activity at the garbage cans as remains are scraped from plates and silverware gets dumped in a rattle on its tray. The warning bell rings, and everyone starts from his chair and sits down again, embarrassed. They are conditioned to one final bell, and the warning bell is a recent innovation of the O.B.A. At last, the final bell does ring, and with a great deal of noise everyone rises together, picks up his books, and heads for his next class. There is always someone who has left a tray full of half-eaten food on the table, and a teacher hurriedly shouting after the students filing out of the brown, swinging-doors. Soon the lunchroom is empty, and once again, the wooden doors swing to and fro, to and fro. as new students enter for lunch. 98 Eating out is another matter. One may eat in the Indian Pizzeria. Sid's (now Eddie and Mort's), Harjay's, Chancellor Deli, or the Bunny Hop. These places are usually jam-packed during lunch periods. Inside, there is the smoke and smell of cigarettes, noise, confusion, and food. There is also a feeling of freedom. Here, there are no teachers, no sagamores, no late-slips, tardy-slips, passes, or chances for detention. There are forty minutes of freedom and it can be felt; there is certain extra exuberance, wider smiles, louder laughter, and, of course, cigarettes. Close tabs are kept on the time, and when the period nears its end, groups of students begin gathering on the steps and walks in front of the school, waiting for the bell to ring so they can enter the building. The bell rings, and the aluminum cross-bars of the front doors get pushed down again and again, as the students make their way inside. Next period there is gym, and some are already going in that direction. Preceding pages Cafeteria; Harjay's; Indian Pizzeria 100 CHAPTER SIX At least two times a week, sometimes four, the requirements in physical education are met. Boys and girls alike suffer and enjoy these respites from academic life. Before entering the gym, however, students must spend a few minutes in that room of pungent odors—the locker room. One wonders about the presence of a shower; no one recalls anyone ever having used it (in conjunction with gym). Every gym has a number of interesting characters: the proverbial exhibitionists who can be found parading before the mirrors and windows in a chest-out, stomach-in position; the modest inhibitionists who stealthily sneak into a corner and discreetly change. The call for attendance, alerting this clothesless multitude, changes their lethargic pace to a mad scramble for locks, clothes, and the locker which they thought they had reserved. Late, half-dressed, already exhausted, the mass plunges through the swinging doors onto their imaginary spots. And so the period begins, a period apparently designed to physically develop and totally enervate its victims simultaneously. Attendance is taken while the class chairman leads the class in various exercises: push-ups, four-count jumping-jacks, two-count jumping-jacks, toetouching, leg lowering, and burpee exercises. After attendance is taken, the remainder of the period is absorbed in play or work or both, usually with an emphasis on the work. 101 Play may consist of basketball, football, baseball, or volleyball, depending upon the season. Work almost always consists of weight-lifting, exercising, or running. One mile of running is four, exhausting, monotonous turns around the Untermann Field cinder track. It is especially difficult to finish the course after lunch; and at the end of the run there are always some bent over with heads between knees, trying to keep down their food. Usually the class is divided into leagues, which play against one another in competition. In the spring the)' can be seen running back and forth on the playing field-the boys in T-shirts, khaki shorts, and sneakers, the girls in their sneakers and blue uniforms. Gym is a period of military discipline; of hard, muscle-stretching work; enjoyable play; spirited competition; fast changes; bad smells; and flushed faces. At the end of the period, it is back to the locker room again. There is less time to change now than there was at the beginning of the period; and the students arc more hurried, more exhausted, more short-tempered. Inside scores are discussed, jokes are told, curses flung, clothes re-transferred to the small lockers, combs pulled out, and for some, illicit cigarettes lit. The bell rings, and the students slowly leave with a little less bounce than before. Whether it is a play or work period, gym is always tiring; for some it is the only enjoyable period of the day, while for many others the changing of clothes, the work and the sweat, make gym a monotonous and hateful drudge. 102 CHAPTER SEVEN One by one the individuals trickle into their history class. Some of them seat themselves immediately; others gather in groups and talk. One of them strolls to the window and peers out at his car parked down the street and at the New York skyline, barely discernible in the distant mist. Others join him until the entire side of the room is massed with students, most looking out of the windows as if salvation lay that way. The teacher enters and closes the door behind, immediately attempting to settle the class. Reluctantly the congestion at the windows dissolves; the class is seated; the attendance is taken. The door opens slowly; and a latecomer enters, as quickly and silently as possible, (in other words quite loudly.) Panting and perspired from the gym class of the preceding period, the culprit shuffles to his seat, hoping, pretending that none have seen him, knowing well that all have—including the teacher. To his great relief nothing is said, and eyes shift slowly from him to the teacher. The day's lesson commences; and a usual history period follows—an evaluation of a magazine, a debate on the merits and faults of a newspaper, a discussion of current events from The New York Times. Current events are an integral part of this class; the student must be aware of the world in which he lives. And these are the Times in which we lived: 105 LATE CITY EDITION Mmh al II I ■ •• I.-Ml ImM Pair iM war nda tWK. hww.l iltmoot Itwtimoma tamrraw •� ••• •� • a —?i T.«a inia'hi HI-ill FIVE CENTS ,117ANDREA DORIA SURVIVORS ARRIVE HERE; new YORK.

Those who go to the library must fill out two sides of a white study slip, filling in their seat numbers, study teacher, and the period. Then they are free to use the library. There are many who pass the time leafing through magazines, doing homework, studying, or talking. The talkers play a dangerous game and sometimes pay for it by being refused library privileges. It is during these study periods that students seek or are sought for guidance. The guidance department serves to help students determine their current curricula and to find employment. For college-bound students a special college guidance department exists to help them decipher the myriad forms which accompany college applications. For all prospective graduates there is the class adviser. Miss Hample or Mrs. Lutzkc, the assistant adviser, to turn to for sympathetic advice or aid. Credits must be computed; vital but somehow over-looked courses must be taken. For Miss Hample, who has nursed this class along from its birth in 1957, there is the quiet satisfaction of having watched her ''kids grow up. Studies in the auditorium are entirely different from those in the library. There the students sit in every-other seat under a strict and enforced silence. No one may get up from his seat except to ask for a pass. As a result the auditorium studies turn into a game of teasing disobedience. Somewhere in the auditorium a student coughs. His friend, who sits nearby, slides deeper into his seat, bows his head, and with a happy grin, also coughs. Far in the back someone else coughs. By coincidence” there is another cough in the 119 first row; then another and another and another until soon there is a paroxysm of couching in unison that quickly turns into uncontrollable giggling and laughter. The teachers look above their spectacles reproachfully, squinting to find the guilty culprit. It is impossible. From the first row to the last every student has a handkerchief over his mouth and tears in his eyes. Detention for so many is impractical; the teachers must ignore the whole episode with burning frustration. Auditorium study is a period of premeditated paper-rustling, book-drop ping, coughing, sneezing, and whistling. The large hall makes every small noise seem large and important. Toward the end of the period all eyes, including the teachers’, glance hopefully up at the big clock that sits on the balcony wall. In a few minutes it will be 2:35, a bell will ring and school will be over. After forty minutes of the auditorium-game, the study period has turned into a boring wait. The minute hand makes a click, then another and another. There is a nervous shimmer of minute activity in all the rows: the click of a compact closing, the stretch and scrape of legs unfolding and re-crossing, the pull of dresses over knees. psxketbooks sliding on laps, books slamming together, everything ready to move, everyone ready and restless. The minute hand clicks again, and there is more coughing. Again it clicks, and at the same time a bell rings. In one movement the agglomeration stands up and files out of the rows, off to their lockers. There is no next period this time. It is home for the majority of the students; and for others there are the many activities which begin at 2:35 . . . Preceding page Senior Clast Advisor Miss Miriam Hample As si Hans Class Advisor Mrs. Hilda Lutzkc 122 CHAPTER NINE After the frenetic dashing and shoving of dismissal has subsided, a new and totally different atmosphere seems to settle over the school; for the rush, the tension, and the anxiety which accompany the race for marks and status have been eliminated. There is, instead, a quiet attitude generally conducive to enjoyment and the self-satisfaction of working and learning and playing. The fencing club is practising in the basement today; and in the auditorium the 3A-4B play rehearsal is going on, a rehearsal which has been in progress for two months and which will continue for today until 6 p.m. Constant repetition and correction until a perfect blend of word, action, and expression is achieved is the method. The members of the English Department are meeting in room 224 to discuss the general nature of the subject matter which is to be taught this or some future term. Each school department, business or science, history or mathematics, usually meets once a month.

The guest speaker was a member of the Ghanian Embassy, and his topic concerned the current problems which face the new African republics. In the audience were those eager to learn, those who had come to argue with the speaker, those who were collecting O.B.A. credits, and, of course, the poor, confused freshmen who were attending the lecture, but who didn't know exactly why. The members of Ergo, the school literary magazine, are in action just a few rooms down the hall—editors praising the master-pieces, rewriting the usable, rejecting the trash. And in the Physics, Biology, and Chemistry Labs, students are busily at work, measuring sound waves, dissecting frogs, and melting chemicals. 130 Within the span of a week, the Greek Club and the Swahili Club; the German Club and the French Club; the Spanish Honor Society and the Na tional Honor Society; the Class Councils and the O R.A. Council; the Chess Club, the Math Club; the Photography Club, the Future Teacher Club; the Latin Reading Club, and the Literary Club can all be found meeting somewhere in the building. On another day, the sound of typewriters actively at work might come from the Legend room, where Legend staff members have remained late to complete the biographical sketches of students for the yearbook or to decide upon the picture layout or the cover style. The Calumet staff members are having one of their ''stay-days’’ too. The deadline for the next issue is nearing; and the writers are putting the finishing touches on their articles, attempting to capture all that is new, fresh, and exciting. A commentary of the current and a report of the news today, these issues of the Calumet may form some records for the archeologists of the future.

When asked if more money would have affected the quality of the new extension. Mr. Bonadano replied that no expense has been spared to give us the best possible construction. On January 2. the architect Mr. Shtier. supervisor Mr. MacAIinden, foreman Mr. Bonadano. and the contractor met in the foreman's shanty to discuss various construction problems. At this time the specifications of the project were disclosed to u . Th rooms under construction on the first floor are two foreign language room and two chairmen of department offices. On the second floor, three English rooms, two typing rooms, one business education room, a speech laboratory, one English office and one book room, as well as boys’ and girls' and teachers' lavatories will be added. Addi-1 lions to the third floor will be two music rooms, four history rooms, two foreign language rooms, two mathematics moms, one chairman's office, on lodger room and one storage instrument room In addition to three lavatories. On the second floor, two hoys' shower rooms will be installed. Th new rooms will be 24 feet by 23 feet, with the exception j of the two music room They will be considerably larger and will have stages The original structure, bull by the same conatruction company j that ia building the addition, was erected with provisions for future addition .

The broadcast was part of a weekly series called “Getting to Know You. in which Kev.uk high school students interview young people from foreign countries. The interviewee included Joan Barton.

Following the b.v� adra t Mm Yslon came to Weequahic High School where she lunched, observed classes in session, and spoke at a special meeting of the Hebrew Cub. Advanced Courses The Advanced History classes in our school are under the direction of Mr. R. Joseph Bruder, chairman of the Social Studies Department. The advanc'd program ia found on the hypothesis that discussion plsys a major role in any history class. The intellectual quality of theer discussions is limited only by the caliber of the students and their ability. Students who have ability to do superior work are stunted when placed in a heterogeneous class. Nut only does the excellent student suffer, but the average student does too. as he is excluded from the work as a result of th excellent student's ability, eagerness, and domination of the discussion. Thu , neither person ia happy and neither is able to work to hla fullest capacity. In the advanced classes students hare the opportunity to do more intensive research and have sufficient time to continue outside reading assignment .

WeequnhiciU who hare been in th library recently, should have noticed the exhibit of the items received from our partner school. Th two booklets contained news about new Parisian fashions and French automobiles; and a copy of the Lycee’ school newspaper. Phunatex. The school newspaper, th Phima-tex, whose name is still a puxsle to th Foreign Language Department doe not resemble the Calumet. It is mimeographed rather than printed and contains quite a bit of art work. No ad appear on its pages and th subject matter of the Pkimatox is extremely varied in nature. There are new and feature article com pars b. to those ef our own newspaper, bu in addition interpretations ef current events are included. In th preeent issue for example aa article appeared about Sputnik. Further understanding of the French teen-ager may be gained by the collection of present French popular songs which our school has received. The bonds between the Lycee Mixte da Rainey and Weequahic are now closely knit and are hope are can weave into this fabric th threads ef friendship, knowledge, and understanding also.

Now that I have bean ham for ten month , (although I (till have language trouble) I hare made many friend and am very happy. Many thing are different here.

Many of theac subject were atarted in the fifth grade of elementary school. Everybody had to take the same subject and therefore we were always together. Most of the time we were in the some room. Besides going to school and do- ing homework, I like to awim, ski, and ice skate. We always spent a lot of time at different sports. I also play the piano. Here in Weequahk I am in SB and am taking a College Preparatory course including English, his tory, French, and geometry. I hope that I will be able to go on to college. My name I Irene Kazak.

In my first year of high school, my subjects were: Biology, chemistry, physics, algebra, geometry, business arith-methk, geography, French history, French language, English, art, musk, gym, cooking, sewing, typing, steno, bookkeeping and commerce. Another difference is that herd the teachers and students are more Informal and much friendlier. In the French school system, girls and boys go to separate schools. The life of the French people la limited. Few people of the middle class have television, indoor bathrooms, refrigerators, telephones, and car . Saturday is the main night for recreation. You ace not only boy and girl in couple , but families and groups of teen-ager . Unlike America, dating In France doesn't begin until a girl is about I 17. There Is no such thing as go-| ing steady until the couple i� plan ring to get married. French girl are much mors serious about their schoolwork and responsibilities than the girls here In America. They don’t begin to wear lipstick until they are 17 and seem to be much closer to their parent . American boy seem very nice. . It la hard to get to know them, be-eauae they are so busy with athletics and work. The one that 1 do know are not so very different from the boy In France. All in all, girts and boy are basically the same throughout the world. Now let me tell you aomethlng about myself. I like musk (not Rock n' Roll), drswing, playing the piano, books, art, theatres and sports, and I lor to go out — anywhere. I have mad several friends and am meeting more nil the time.

The students become acquainted with the vocabulary and organisation of a radio station, and as soon as they show sufficient proficiency they receive actual radio experience. Membership in the All-City Radio-T.V. Workshop includes in addition to the required once a week attendance in the workshops, participation In rehearsals and recording sessions of numerous radio presentations of an educational nature.

There have been trends toward advanced claaaee throughout the country ia reeeeit year . Since the launching of Sputnik by the Soviet Union, there haa been an urgency to develop more and more capable scientist . Educators fed that only through homogeneous grouping can the gifted atudenta be taught to their fulleot capacity. In recent year college , too. hare shown increased interest in advanced classes. Many of them are willing to give college credit for such course offend in high school. The criteria for selecting the member of advanced rlanara differ in the department . The greatest weight, however, i placed on mark . I feel that interest in a subject i equally a important a previous achievement. Very often a student who ha done well in a regular class will not be enthusiastic enough to evert himself sufficiently to meet the standards of an advanced group. These classes benefit all student whether they be superior, average, or poor. In hetergeneoo group , the advanced student often And that he can do his work in half the time. The other half i spent in mischief, daydreaming, or other homework. The alow student, on the other hand, may fall behind after the Arst few weeks of the term. By the end of the Arst cycle, he la so discouraged that he spends hi das time on mischief, daydreaming, or other homework. It ia the average student, though, who suffer moat. He ia never quite sure whether his teacher is going to cater to the bored gen-haaea or to the slower pupil. If he ha adjusted himself to a “snap” course, he will surely receive a teat which catches him unaware and put the Merit Scholarship Exam to sham . He may alto have prepared to buckle down to work. Poor “Average Alan” studies six hours for a test only to And out that his teacher has decided to give her slower sttadenU an easy chance to pas . On of the major objections to these claaaee It that they are an-democratic. These objectors claim that when the Declaration of Independence created all men equal, it referred to equality of opportunity. These dissenters feet that special classes do not comply with thia privilege. It aecras to me that this objection is not valid. All of u have different abilities and interests. Therefore it ia logical that classes for varying types of atudenta should be set up. Homogeneous grouping does not violate equality of opportunity to learn in our schools but simply provide for learning at a higher or lower level. I personally think that three classes have proved to be a great success. In my opinion, they have a wonderful effect on the superior student’ attitude to school. Before these advanced group were established, there were far to many classes where the good student received an A for little or no work. An entirely different picture ia presented in the special classes. In these group there is a keen competition between the student . Secondly, the course itself offers a challenge that is too tempting to be resisted. The student who haa a sharp mind ran rarely imora tackling an Impossible’’ problem or question. This type pupil is almost always completely absorbed in a philosophical and deep discussion. At Rust, Wccquahic has found a way to interest and stimulate its best mind . ADVANCEU.-.L LASSES I maintain the traditional eight period schedule, hut the freshmen and sophomore B’s will attend school from 10:40 to 4:10, and will have only seven periods, omitting study.

Meyner and Michael Lernrr. Special to the Calomel by Michael Leaner On Sunday. March 9lh. an unusual opportunity presented itaolf. On that evening, I interviewed Governor Robert B. Meyner at the Mosque Theatre after his weekly show on WA.T.V. An informal, friendly man. he spoke on many matters of interest which I would like to present to you. the students of Weoquahic High SchooL The Governor does not think that Just because Russia has sent up the Sputniks that we are in need of a basic change In our educational program We must try to produce better scientists and engineers. but our primary goal should be to produce intellectually well-rounded individuals In the secondary schools Specialisation ran be left to the universities. Governor Meyner aaaurv us, also, that those of us who plan to go to state institutions of education, will find facilities enlarged and improved. Moreover, there will be $100,000 worth of scholarships offered by the stole. The Governor has a warning for all students who brlong to illegal fraternities. He is going to enforce the law forbidding fraternities! He admits that there are certain fraternities which are not harmful, but the majority can have very bad Infioence on youth. Governor Meyner, who feels that the voting age should be lowered to eighteen, says that there is nothing basically wrong with Rock-and-Roll. although personally he does not “dig it. He atao added that if a teen-ager wanted to admire a singer, he has every right to do so. To the bewildered freshmen who struggle with their algebra and who think there is no use for it In later life. Governor Meyner says that learning of any sort is never wasted. The Governor also feels that special schools for the exceptionally bright student are not as good as they may serai, because students should learn to mix with and sdapt themselves to nil kinds of people. Drivers take notice. The Chief Executive of N. J. feel that drivers should have the right attitude toward driving. Driving is both a responsibility and n privilege. Thr rar is not an instrument with which to show off. The Governor also believes that driving rlasses in high school should have can for practical demonstrations at their disposal. Congratulations, Mr Brenman! Foreign languages are very Important, says the Governor. They should, in fart, be started as early us the sixth grade. The governor feels thst by the time a student gets to high school, it it difficult for him to pick up correct pronunciations. Numbers of our struggling French. German. Hebrew and Latin students chime in with agreement. Juvenile delinquency originates in the home rather than in the achook. insists the Governor. Where there is a sound and happy family environment, there are no juvenile delinquents. The Governor feels that no person should be permitted to leave school before he la sixteen. No matter how useless It may seem, the association with intelligent students will benefit bio. Governor Meyner. uhose favorite recreation are tennis and swimming, is a strong opponent of racial discrimination. The Governor Joined many members of the clergy in urging that brotherhood be observed every day in the year. Racial discrimination U contrary to our Declaration of Independence which proclaims all men are equal. Also, the Governor feels that racial discrimination is costing us much international prestige, for the peoples of the world are wondering how they might be treated if they lived in the U. S. I left the Mosque with a feeling of gratification that our Governor wsj a man sincerely interested In the problems of (duration. Moreover, I had the conviction that thie was a man who put into action the ideals he held. It was a memorable evening! COMPLIMENTS OF CLINTON SAVINGS LOAN ASSN. 400 Lyoni Avenue Nework 12. N. J.

Linemen Arc Keys Very often the guards will be the key to the type of play that is; being tried. If a guard seems to team-up with a backfleld man. you’ can usually expect a run or a slant. On a pass play the guards, along with the center and on or more hacks, will form the pa pocket to, protect the thrower. The tackles form the bulk of the line and are' usually the heaviest boy available. Their main job it to protect the middle of the line from the onruahing defensive unit The center ha one of tho roughest job on the team, especially in the single-wing attack whleh Weequahic use . He has to snap the ball accurately to cither the tailback or fullback, and still manage to hold down his share of the line. The end are almost crosses between linemen and back . They have to be more afctle than the ordinary linemen, able to lead end run , set up decoys, block, run. and above all. catch pa� es. By carefully watching these boy , you may not only develop a new outlook toward football but also manage to enjoy yourself more. Well, so much for the line Let’s try another angle. Just for the fun of it. try watching the team huddle . Who it calling the signal ? How are the other boys gathered around him ? How much team spirit doe there seem to he? How doe the team substitute it player ? How do they line up after the huddle? Taking special note of this seemingly Insignificant part of the game should add color and amusement to your day. Watch the Defense Getting back to a more serious part of football, try watching the way the defense set up it men Tver are many different detersive set-ups. and I'm sure that we're not going to gain anything by studying them scientifically. Let's Just � y that you'll find the defense to be just at interesting a phase of football as the offense, and possibly even more to. Football i a two-way sport, and you can't loae if your opponent can't score. A a laat suggestion, try to remember that Weequahic uses a special type of offense called the single wing. It eliminate the need for a quarterback, as such, and instead the ball is snapped directly to a halfback or fullback. This style of play use an unbalanced line and four backs referred to as tailback, wingbock, fullback, and block ing back.

Weequahic High School will be evaluated by a committee of twenty-eight experts assigned by the Middle State Association of Secondary School, and College Every high school accredited by this organisation I examined and rated one every’ ten years. Weequahic’ turn to be restudied has come around once again. Why are we being evaluated? In order to maintain our standing a a school with high academic standards The rating earned by our school in the 1940 and 1960 evaluation helped to establish Weoquahlc's academic credit with college everywhere Now we are due for another ten-year checkup. For almost two yeurs Weequahic teachers have been preparing for thia evaluation through a rigorous program of self study. We are ready now to submit our findings to the specialist who will be our guests on April 5. 6, 7. Our visitors will be subject-matter experts, principals, and superintendents. All of them are seasoned, experienced educator who will look us over with a practiced eye. Weequahic will put on no show We shall do regular work and be judged by our everyday achievements.

Alain de Funtenay Looks Back Over a Year at Weequahic, USA What is an American? For a European who never crossed the ocean, this seems easy to answer. What! An American! It's some kind of millionaire who rushes through Europe from one night club to tbe next one. from one museum to another to be aMe to say. back home. Oh! the Louvre, I was there . .it’s some kind of human swaggering along, a cigar hanging at his lips, a camera bouncing on hi belly, a big tip in his hand, and a companionate smile toward thene ‘barbaric people who do not ujy kleencx, froxen food . . .’ But for me. after spending nine months here. It has become a lot more difficult to draw a portrait. All these stereotyped pictures are of no use when speaking of friend I made here. I was often asked what my first sensation was. My first impression, t have needed month to be able to form; it wa one of big surprise — toward the magnificent hospitality, and the friendliness of everyone. In fact. I don’t think I’ll ever lose this first thrill, for every day I discover more and more how much I owe to each one of you. Math Team to Appear In Future Contests The Mathematics Team, under the supervision of Mr. Voakowltz, is composed of six to trn juniors and seniors interested in improving their mathematical ability. Any junior or senior can try out for the team. After a few weeks of review of the first three year of math, elimination tcsU are given to determine who will be chosen as permanent member of the team The final group selected meet once a week In preparation for the competition ahead. The team represents Weequahic nd competes with teams from other schools In contests sponsored by mathematical organization and many different colleges. n the forthcoming year Weequahic’ team will be entered in contest sponsored by New York University, Rutger University, The Mathematical Association of America, and The Newark Council of Teachers of Math. Some people say the American is too conformists; they say he has too easy a life. (Maybe it is their jealousy!) They state that, although he seeks noise and crowds, for he is afraid to be alone, the American is unable to form strong tie of friendship. They reproach him for not being more reserved. They even assert that he has no culture. I would not entirely refute their assertions, for I agree in part with them, yet I think these could be considered as hasty generalizations. Yes, the American Is very conformists, but aren’t w all witnesses in our modern world of a trend toward standardization and conventionalism 7 For nine month I have enjoyed this “too easy life, and 1 must confess I am often seared by it; it might become a very bad handicap in tbe defense of the democracy. It is indisputable that the Amer ican without his T.V. set. . . . something to make noise, something to ruxh for, is somewhat like a fish out of watsr; the Amsriean Is becoming slowly but surely the slave of the fairy-tale world he created. The American change his dwelling so easily and frequently that he needs to make friend quickly without following all � h rite of old societies. Besides, It I wrong to stats he cannot long keep any friendship. And since the American most often gets a specialized education early in life, he has not as big a chance to get a solid bass of culture; still, later he geu huge opportunities from the libraries to fill the gap. He who reproaches the American for not being more reserved should use his accusation ms an affirmation. He would see he is praising Mm as one of the most free-thinking and free-acting people. Anyway, there is no reason to be concerned about his defects, your defects, my new defect , foe w hare an outstanding quality to thwart them; he, you. we possess a very strong feeling for self criticism. And now. in conclusion, I want to thank everyone for all they did for me, and for the exchange program, which I hop will continue in the years to com . T H E T Weequahic High School. Newark.

Ths following are excerpts from ths report submitted to the Newark Board of Education. •Weequahic High School per-forms an outstanding service in the preparation of iU student for college admission. Its program of studies, its faculty, and its extracurricular offerings are highly effective in equipping its college-bound student —of the total enrollment — for institutions of higher learning. Individual departments and functions of the school are singled out for special commendation. These include the Guidance Department, school publications, the puptl activity program, and the handling of school finance The Evaluating Committee points out that the English Department offers n “variety of elective courser, provides clan for the alow and the advanced, and requires competence la English fundamentals. The report praises the Foreign Language Department for “the variety of offerings, the high deems of professional competence and enthusiasm of the language teachers, and the success of the conversational approach in the performance of pupils. The school's Fine Arts and Industrial Arts program are found to be ably itailed and highly motivated.

By September, the Department hope to institute a Physical Science Study Committee of Physic to replace most of our present physics classes. These and other change are what the Science Department la doing to streamline all of it classes in chemistry, biology, and phytic in order to keep up with modem research and discoveries.

The campaign that ended in the victory of John F. Kennedy wo one of the closest ever recorded in thin nation. In recent month you saw two ye uric candidates try to justify their claim to the most exalted position in this country by talking frankly and knowingly about the issue besetting our nation. No candidate in our history ever offered the American people a dearer picture of national problem . The American cititen made their choice. By the principle of majority rule. John P. Kennedy become President. Mr. Nixon, the looer. accepted hi defeat gracefully and .portingly. Though he lost by a mere shadow. Mr. Nixon promptly acknowledged the result This is the American tradition. This la democracy. We have shown the worid that civilised men and women can transfer political power from one party to another without violence and with a minimum of dislocation. This is a necessary lesson for the worid. It la an important reminder to our own people that democratic government has both flexibility end continuity. Even more, democracy has been shown to be sensitive to the people's will. The genius of the men of 17 7 has once again been affirmed David E.

Miss Steinholtz, Mr. Brinn Take Over in New Positions Two new faces are to be seen in two of the more important office here at Weevjuahic First is Mi Una Steinholti. who. although not new to the sehool. is taking on a new position. Miss Steinholti is now the acting head guidance counselor; and she is taking the place of Dr. Rubinfsld, who has moved to the new Mountain High School in West Orange.

No change are anticipated in the present guidance system Some interesting tests have already been given this fall, one of which, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. Is practically a roust for all junior and should also be taken by those seniors interested in scholarships. Another test, called the California Mental Maturi.y Test, is for all IB's and was given at the same tune as the PSAT. Miss Steinholt ' advice to students Is to set their goals and then pursue them., “To. be able to accomplish anything. ' she says, one must have a definite plan. The other face is that of Mr. Morris Brinn. new chairman of the Science Department. He succeeds Mr. Epstein, who is now the principal of Central Evening High Sehool. Mr. Brinn is of the opin-ion that being a chairman I a lot harder than regular teaching, but his fine set of teachers is a great help to him. His main function will be to help keep the science teaching as effective a possible and to determine the best methods of introducing newer concept that may aria In the entire field of science But.” he say , “we do not aim for exact uniformity in the methods of individual teachers. Mr. Brinn ha been reselling for twenty year , eighteen of them In New Jersey schools. He received his Bachelor's degree at Baylor University in Texas and his Master's degree at New York University.

The freahmen shall never know the aggravation of the endless wait for milk and cake. Thanks to one of the many com-raitteea of the O B A , everyone may obtain these items at a separate milk and cake counter In the large lunchroom. The lunchroom Exodua Plan, probably the most important contribution of your O.B.A. this year, will go into effect in the apringtime. Thi plan will allow students to leave the cafeteria fifteen minutes after the period begins. The O.B.A. is also concerned with all matter directly relating to student activities. The moat recent action taken by the O.BA. was to request a change in claas election rules. Until this term a student who received an F in a minor subject regardless of his other term marks was ineligible for a class or school office. Now he may run for such office provided the teacher of the subject he failed certifies that his F was not due to class attitude or behavior, but to physical inability or lack of manual dexterity. The O.BA. was represented at the annual November meeting of the New Jersey Association of High School Councils held at Rut gets University In New Brunswick. The O.B.A. has read a request to the administration asking that cycle testa not be scheduled for the same week as College Board E committee were responsible for the twinging entertainment, and Woody Trugman and his committee were responsible for the excellent service at the cloakroom. As for our third dance, time will tell. The O.B.A. also sponsored a school-wide Slogan Contest to provide our Student Government with a motto to guide everyday O B A. activities At for tha future, the crystal ball of the O.B.A. predicts the possible revision or abolition of the credit system as well as new ruling providing us with at least two candidates for every office and the posting of all candidates' names before petitions are issued — If It is determined that these change are necessary and justified ALII tO Till VISION SIRVICt HI Ha ethe me Aveese Nffwork.

Everyone would have to acquire an appreciation and genuine desire for education. Pressure by teacher to do homework or to indulge in additional study would not be present. We would have to discipline ourselves In striving for the goal we hope to meet. Our conception of honesty and education a a whole would change. We would acquire faith in human nature — faith we seem to have lost in our everyday live Xn honor system would prepare us for the responsibilities which we will encounter later on.

But let it be aaid that the Indiana didn't relinquish the crown without a struggle. Only a shaky beginning prevented the retaining of the championship for an unprecedented Afth straight time.

In the second round of the City League every team fell to our eager . The championship of the annual Montclair Invitational was Wccquahic's for the second year in a row. Non-conference foes fell by the wayside. The Indians were rollin' along! The Essex County Tournament came around and all good squaws and braves were beating their tom-toms, hoping that Weequahic would go all the way. Advancing to the semi-Ana! round, Weequahic encountered a fired up Immaculate Conception team and our aspirations were thwarted. Many Weequahtc fans walked away from the Archbishop Walsh Memorial Auditorium that Wedneaday night quite dejected. We had Let; our streak was ended. The next day was brght and sunny and much of our gloom had dtsaipated. After all, every winning streak must come to an end. All seaaon long our boy had done a fine Job and could well be proud of their achievement . Of course ihe loss of Sal Scott and Barry GimeUtob hurt, but even without two such fine performers the Indians stretched their streak from 10 to 16 gome .

L Beak si New York | Generally, the career aspirations of Weequahic's students follow a more or loss standard pattern. There ia usually a long line of teacher , doctor , nnd nurses in every graduating class. After extensive research, however. we have been able to discover a few students who ore clinging to their rugged individuality and have decided on careers of a more unusual nature.. Beth Lohman plans to make her career in the Acid of psychiatry. She feels that this field offer unique opportunities, both in aiding others nnd in gaining knowledge of the human mind. In understanding the behavior of other . Beth also hopes to increase and enrich her knowledge of herself. Although her decision to enter the field of psychiatry was relatively recent. Beth has been fascinated since childhood with the curiosities of human behavior. She always liked people and enjoyed finding out more about their personalities but only recently has she considered channeling this interest into serious study. Beth feels that there is much to be gained in the field of psychiatry. both theoretically and prae-; tically speaking. The study of the I mind is doubtless one of the most i fascinating imaginable, and, as: anyone who ha ever paid the usual | twenty-five dollars an hour fee for psychoanalysis will tell you. | There's gold In them thar hills. I Selma Gershon has always had un inherent love for animals. The J Westminster Dog Show, books [about dogs, and television programs about dogs hare always .been among her favorite forms of [entertainment. Because of this interest in dogs, •s well as a certain scientific curi-1 osity, Selma has decided to make her career in the field of dog breeding. In this field, she will have an opportunity, not only to enjoy her work with the animals, but to produce new and sturdier strains. Selma considers it important to provide the right kind of pets for people because often a pet can become a life-long friend, a constant source of affection and loyalty. Because many more people are keeping dogs as pets nowadays, Selma feels that the field of dogbreeding offers a great opportunity for I Following the course hia talents I nnd inclinations would indicate, i Paul Gabrinrr has derided on a [career as a professor of American j literature. His decision to enter this field has superscilcd various earlier leanings towardi the careers of pilot, author, coast guardsman, etc. Somehow, these careers didn't seem quite as practical. Paul has been writing poems and short stories since the age of about twelve, when he first began reading the books of John Steinbeck. At first, he wrote more or lew to soc If he could do It. but. as he continued, his interest increased. Paul's plans for the future include college and as much traveling as possible. His more Immediate concern, however. i« to get out of high school. When asked about her plans for the future. Era Kkman said that ever since she could remember, the field of linguistics has been her favorite. Even as a child, the was intrigued with words and sound. Now that she ha done some research, he finds phonetics ntd etymology, which Is the study of word derivations, to be most interesting. Linguistics is • field that involves a great deal of research, and Eva hopes to pursue it as a college professor. She thinks the is well suited to the life of a college professor because she likes to read and Is absent-minded anyway. As a child. Eva said, she was greatly influenced by her grandfather. who also had a love of books and literature. Even now. Eva remembers how fascinated she was with his large collection of rare and unusual books. Eva feels that the field of linguistics is important because it exposes so much of the interrelationships and basic similarities of the languages of the world. By studying the language of a people and th« way they employed it. one can got a greater insight into tho mind that created it. Perhap a little more out of the ordinary is Gail Smith’s ambition to become a mortician. After much research and extensive reading on the subject. Gail finally decided to make her career in the field of en-bahning. Although at first she was a bit uneasy at her task. Gail has grown CHAPTER TEN One might think that what distinguishes the attitudes toward sports activities from the attitudes toward curricular activities is the lack of compulsion to participate. After all, extra-curricular sports are purely voluntary activities. Or are they? There are some boys who can never achieve much in the academic area and therefore strive even more strongly to succeed (and do so!) somewhere, in sports. But this would not explain the many good or even superior academic students who also feel the need or drive to achieve, to succeed (and also do so)-in sports. And the girls? Psychologically barred from inter-school and intramural competition (except for the dubious distinction of becoming a letter-winner for gym excellence), they are limited to becoming cheerleaders, twirlers or color-bearers. And this they do and do well, investing as much time and energy in their fiercely intensive practice as do the boys. Now look at their faces and figures (pages 168, 169 ) And the vast balance of the students? They sit and watch, usually not well, seizing the excuse of the game for use in frenzied social and sometimes unsocial activity. And they watch only football or basketball in number. A mere handful watches the baseball team and fewer than that, if any, watch the swimming, soccer or track teams. A stranger to Wcequahic might think that its teams failed to make a mark in the inter-school competitions. But this isn’t so. The swimming team this year won the City Championship; the basketball team had another excellent season (its third in a row), winning the Montclair Invitational Tournament and the North Jersey Group IV Section Two. Following page Barrett; Chakerrs; Cook; Davis Decter; Enjsclhardt; Gladstone; Goldsmith Graifer; Heiber; Holmes; Hutchinson Interdonato; Jenkins; Levine; Levy 167 Even the usually moribund football team won its big game against Hillside High last Thanksgiving (The paradox between huge spectator interest in football and the exceedingly small turnout of football aspirants for the team cannot be easily resolved with the usual explanations: Weequahic is primarily a good academic high school; the students are more interested in casual sports rather than in submitting to the harsh rounds of practice and sweat; the parents will not permit their sons to play a bruising contact sport; the boys are busy with their school work in order to ensure entry into college; many students work after school as an economic necessity, some to pay for their cars. All these statements are true, but they don't explain the paradox. The fault would seem to be somewhere in the culture which disseminates and reinforces the anti-participant nature of sports activities.) But the boys who do participate, who do try to gain one more yard, to steal a base, to jump an extra inch, to cut off one second in their usual times, to block a pass, they achieve something no one outside can ever understand: the unremitting practice, the tears of utter exhaustion, the odoriferous camaraderie of the locker room, the ache of sore muscles and ligaments, the exultation and the gloom of games won and lost. And when age mellows them, they can be brought back into the competition by recalling the grind, the gut, and the glory of their high school days.

The boys in both grades who are not on the varsity team, are eligible to participate; and the girls who are not on the regular cheerleading squad are eligible to cheer their teams on to victor)'. With the advent of spring comes the vocal and instrumental production presented by Weequahic's music department, in which the proficient musicians participate and which the aficianados attend, the Spring Concert. The choir sounds its mellifluous voice; the orchestra executes its euphonious melody; the band strikes up a full toned medley; sonorous echoes pour forth from the auditorium. A dance at Weequahic, whether it is an OBA dance or Hop, signifies a time for laughter and gaiety. Three times a year the OBA sponsors a dance open to all grades. The dances are simple but enjoyable. No elaborate decorations clutter the gym, only the enthusiasm of the students. The 4B Hop, however, is a semi-formal and exceedingly gala affair. It is held in the girls gyrn which is beautifully decorated for the occasion and which one soon forgets is a gym, despite the presence of rings, parallel bars, and baskets. These dances have an effect upon daily activities of the individuals who attend them. 171 It begins at home with the preparation. After dinner a quick shower that has been put off all week, a phone call to a friend for the reassurance that it will not be necessary to face the dancing mass alone, the careful selection of clothes, the frantic search for the cologne received last Christmas, a final check in the mirror. A last minute thought—will that English teacher be there? And will he remember today's absence from school? In the senior A ' term the event to which almost everyone looks forward is the Prom. Held at an exclusive country club or hotel, this formal ball is the most lavish of Weequahic’s dances. To some it is a time to display maudlin emotions marked with tears or excessive solemnity: to most it marks the zenith of high school social activities and the evening is spent in joie de vivre. It signifies the culmination of four years of high school, the beginning of a new and different existence. CHAPTER TWELVE Books are keys to knowledge and understanding, the basis of our civilization, the most powerful force on earth. They are not merely the obvious pages of print between hard covers, but are more. Much more. Books can be bought for ten cents or ten thousand dollars; but what they mean cannot be bought, for their cryptographic symbols must be deciphered by human intelligence. Just what they do mean is as diverse as are the people who read them. Books are companions to the reader curled up in a comfortably worn armchair beside an open fire on a wintry night. They are weapons to men of action who, with their aid. can denounce or uphold a religion, can create or destroy a tyrant. And to the student—to him they are the slings and arrows of outrageous assignments; they are the massive burden that he must bear to whichever class he goes; they are the dingy, coverless leaves dotted with forbidden pencil marks and held together with innumerable bits of tape; they are the student's despair and his drudgery as well as his joy and his exaltation; they are his torment in forced, unwanted study, and his succor in the search for further knowledge. Within books he all of man that makes him man; it is from them that he knows what he was; it is in them that he will write his future. 175 dUB mvr rrrrr We could not close this book without freely and gratefully acknowledging our immense debt to Mr. Edward Tumin, our faculty adviser and co-worker.
