By now presenting various aspects of a 'typical” day in a student’s life at Weequahic, we hope, in the future, to rediscover our Weequahic years. The first awakening of dawrn finds Newark asleep. Only the night people arc about, hurrying homeward to rest. The streets arc empty, save for a few’ solitary cars that break the stillness with their muted roar. The sky grows lighter; the sun becomes visible over the placid roof tops. Life begins. Alarm bells shatter the lingering dreams of peacefully oblivious students. This is the first reminder. School today — again! We are looking ahead so that wfe may be able to look back in wistful reflection. We have asked ourselves, What will wfe wfant to remember?” We have sifted our answers, selected material, and collected w’hat we hope will be a link between our lives twenty years hence and our youth. We have departed from yearbook tradition and stepped beyond the boundaries of custom in search of a meaningful assortment of casual incidents, events, ideas, and activities that best represent our years at Weequahic High School. It is with this goal in mind that we have minimized areas which other yearbooks inflate, disproportionately, we think. We have tried to concentrate our attention on the things and events which have most affected us. We are, of necessity, speculating. Twenty years The temptation to turn over and escape back into unconsciousness is all but overwhelming, and sometimes the student succumbs. But, once he has wrenched himself awake and is, somewhat dizzily, out of bed, the daily routine has commenced. Go to bathroom, brush teeth, wash face, comb hair, get dressed, drink some orange juice, grab books, gulp some coffee, find coat, and then, get out! Lonely-looking students standing on street corners are joined by their comrades for the ritualized trudge to school; every day they follow the same route. As the various groups near Weequahic, they converge into a steady flow of groggy humanity and enter the building. Somewhat later, after the flow has abated, stragglers may be seen as they sprint that last block to school. Then all is quiet. The school day has begun. Weequahic’s halls arc made up of two contrasting phases. At 7:45 one can only sec the droopy-eyed yet ambitious students stumbling along to see Mr. LaPenna before the rush of fellow college-bound friends, a coma-ridden detention room, the student who came early to explain to his English teacher that he didn’t deserve the D’ and anyway, she’s keeping him off the honor-roll . . . and the scattering of teachers lining up in the office to sign the register. From 8:15 to 8:27 the majority of the still sleepy throng of adolescents files up the too narrow stairways, creating a mob of chaos and confusion. Locker combinations are spun and curses muttered when the doors refuse to open. After a few solid kicks, the doors reluctantly open and the sloppily-stacked books slide out onto the floor, creating confusion and embarrassment. Most students learn the number of their homeroom from constant repetition, from filling out forms and paper headings; but it is by pure instinct alone that they find themselves approaching the right room and enter ng it, hopefully, before the tardy bell. The drowsy student, once across the threshold, is in a literal haven — safe from the shuffling feet and unknown faces, the banging lockers, the teacher on hall patrol. He may be greeted by fellow class-mates or pass to his seat unnoticed, but slowly the homeroom atmosphere envelopes him. For ten minutes the patrol teachers dominate the halls, and although homeroom classes may be bursting with noise, the corridors are as quiet and inactive as in the pre-8:00 stillness. 4 Our formal clay begins at 8:30, but by this time activity has reached fever pitch. Morning is the time for things better done yesterday or last night: the finishing touches on homework, hurried guidance appointments the vital homeroom nap — these for the early riser. For the less heroically inclined, the late-sleeper and the slow walker, the morning scene is slightly different. He has no time for the leisurely stroll through half-empty halls. All is forgotten in the violent rush to the locker and through the mobbed corridors to the homeroom. The sole question in his mind is whether his valiant efforts will be requited with a triumphant last-second entrance or exasperating near-miss and more detention. One way or another, agitation ceases with the 8:30 alarm, signal for morning exercises to begin. First order of the day is the reading of five verses of the Bible; then serene, abstruse mumblings of the Lord's prayer, consecration for the tasks of the weary day ahead. The flag salute follows: ritually, half-heartedly, thoughtlessly performed. The purposefulness and utility of these exercises may be doubted, but the habit is irrevocably formed. The stimulating daily announcements follow. Students monitor them with one ear, listening for pertinent ones, jumbling them in their minds. Sometimes last-minute activity is cut short by clerical matters that must be handled, sometimes by an assembly, sometimes the usual ten minutes fortunately lengthened into a study period. But usually this is the routine — the few final moments of motion, then resolution to face the day bravely, though slightly bowed. 7 Students of Weequahic, anticipating an escape from the usual routine, look forward to scheduled assemblies with great expectation. When the bell rings, students snap their books closed and line up to leave their homerooms. The converging lines clamor down the stairs and through the halls. These are the times when: ... the talkative boy marches into the empty sagamore’s chair, and then is hit smack in the stomach by an enormous, swinging, fashionable handbag . . . . . . one tries to stay away from opening doors but still manages to have a few close calls when the door of the girls’ room pops open unexpectedly, or the cafeteria door is swung open by an impatient student taking a shortcut from one side of the building to another . . . . . . one holds his breath while passing the chcm lab, yet at the same time, gives an I don't smell a thing” smile to Mrs. Yellin . . . . . . one takes a drink from the already gum-loaded, warm, water fountain. The students eventually reach the auditorium and, knowing that they have the next hour to relax, settle back in their seats and wait for the program to commence. Mr. Epstein, our principal, rises from his seat at the side of the platform and moves toward the lectern, King James Bible in hand. Without preamble he launches into a few timely verses from some handy psalm. Mr. Epstein has been principal of Weequahic High School since the beginning of the September, 1961 school year. During the last four years, he was preceded by Mr. Julius 8 Bernstein, now principal of Livingston High School, and Dr. David Wcingast, now Assistant Superintendent of Schools in charge of secondary education in the city of Newark. Mr. Epstein’s bible-reading is followed by the traditional Lord's Prayer. As a student steps up to the microphone and begins to recite an appropriate poem, the flag is carried to the stage by a member of the Honor Society, accompanied by a color guard. The flag salute is duly chorused and our national anthem is sung. Now that the introductory exercises are completed, the students may resume their seats, and the actual program commences. The assemblies are conducted by the officers of the Orange and Brown Association, and are supervised by Mrs. Weinstein of the English Department. Diversified programs arc presented to interest every type of student. Their subject matter may range from pure entertainment to student debates on current events to speeches by prominent members of the community. To the chagrin of most students, all assembly periods must come to an end. When the alloted hour is over and the passing bell rings, the students file slowly out of the auditorium and trudge back to their homerooms to retrieve their books. At the ringing of another bell, they proceed to their first period classes, taking some solace in the knowledge that on assembly days periods are only thirty-five minutes long. The preliminaries are over, the day begins in earnest. As likely as not, the first class is English . . . 9 English Department: Since an understanding of the English language is a prerequisite to success in one’s chosen career, English is a required course for all students in all patterns. This department helps the student develop his ability to communicate, both in writing and in speaking, to read with comprehension and discrimination and to listen intelligently, interpret what is said, analyze the facts presented, and synthesize the ideas offered. Through some excellent teachers, it attempts to acquaint the pupil with literature that will give him a knowledge of his cultural history and American heritage, and 10 help him to form his convictions and ideals. 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 aptitude in the English language and in English literature. Th;s course is comparatively new to our school, having been started only three years ago. The honors course delves more deeply Leonard L. Gross Hannah G. Litzky into the subject-matter than the average English class and offers the students the opportunity to advance rapidly. As in other advanced courses, the Honors English students receive special marking considerations. The three publications of Wccquahic High School, the Calumet, Ergo, and Legend arc advised respectively by Mr. Heck, Mr. Hcndlcr, and Mr. Tumin, all members of the English Department. What does the English Department have planned for the future? It is contemplating 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; and more audio visual aids to be used in the classroom. A Literary club has already been inaugurated. For those students having difficulty with the English language or with speech, developmental reading and remedial speech are available. Members of the department are keenly aware of their special responsibility in 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. Mathematics Department: In a world in which clear, logical thinking is becoming increasingly important, the math department hopes to make its students achieve objectivity of thought through its offered courses. For those who plan to continue with math or science, Weequahic has much to offer in the way of preparation. In addition to the regular math — two years of algebra, one 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 a year of college math possible. The department aims to develop an understanding of the nature of mathematical proofs and an appreciation of the nature of a mathematical system, to provide experience of problem solving and of symbolic arid abstract thinking, and to 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 need. 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. Math Can Be Fun” is the slogan of the math club. Guest speakers, student leaders, and the club advisor help make this slogan come true. Other than requirements for graduation and college entrance, there is a great deal to be derived from the study of the Queen of Sciences. 12 Lillian M. Margulies Jojeph Gruber Fine and Practical Arts Department: It is the desire of the art department that students develop their art ability to the greatest possible extent, while still maintaining their individual styles and methods of work. The department offers two years of commercial art and a major in art survey, the latter covering art's historical background. The numerous minors include: General Art, a one year course emphasizing figure and three dimensional drawing; Art Club, which features various aspects of art, particularly oil painting; Art Foundations, which both satisfies the requirement for a fine arts course and offers freshmen orientation in the subject; Ceramics; and Painting. The Art Service Squad, sponsored by the art department, acts as an advertising group for all school functions and affairs. The Music Department affords the student the opportunity to develop a love for music and to enrich and to fortify any musical learnings he might possess. The freshmen course in Music Foundations, taken by choice instead of Art, attempts to survey basic techniques and well-known musical pieces, and thus serves as a basis for further courses. The many electives offered to the student interested in music include General Music Experiences, Music Literature Appreciation Workshop, and Instrumental Instruction. The latter prepares the student for membership in the Band and Orchestra and subsequent participation in every assembly and special activity, such as Torch Day and Graduation. The selected marching band led by Mr. Scocozza, of this department, is an added attraction at football games and at most city parades. The Music Department's program also includes classes in Voice and Mixed Chorus; the resulting choir sings at functions in and out of school. Francis Korfman Henry Melnik Frank Scocozza Seymour B. Weiss Maria Louige Loncrgan Audry M. Melkowits Several courses are offered which give Weequahic students a knowledge of the practical arts. Girls can take a course in either foods or clothing. Foods aims to develop the ability to plan, prepare, and serve the simple family meals and helps the girls acquire basic homemaking skills. They also are given the opportunity to practice good table manners, as they must eat the food they have 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 for the boys at Weequahic benefit the student in many ways. The shop course brings out the creative-ncss 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 engineering or drafting. The object of the architectural course is to teach the student how to intelligently design a liveable home and how to apply good building practices. As the student advances, he gets to design his own house. These courses are but a part of the solid educational foundation given all students at Weequahic High School. 1$ Business Education Department: The Business Education Department at Weequahic, headed by Mr. Milton Kappstatter, has a two fold purpose. Its prime goal is to acquaint its students with those technical skills needed in the business world. It also trains them for various marketable skills. A wide choice of courses is offered, including stenography, typewriting, and office machine practice. Also given is a new course in alphabet shorthand, designed primarily for college-bound seniors. Alphabet shorthand is of great use in taking notes and can also be of advantage in part-time or summer employment. Although the department does not give advanced credit, many able students undertake advanced courses. Guidance Department: The Guidance program offers innumerable 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 school 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. 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. 18 Benjamin Epstein, Principal OFFICE STAFF — Left to Right: Naomi Barish, Rose Zinberg, Bertha Weiss, Florence Rostoff, Lila Gollin, Evelyn K. Tabankin. 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 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.) Office Staff: One of the most unrewarding jobs in the school is that of office worker. These few women work behind the scenes to aid the administration and do the tremendous amount of clerical work necessary in a school as large as Wecquahic. This work includes keeping records, ordering supplies, handling finances, sending out notices, and running the lost and found department. In addition, the office staff is often forced to contend with nagging students and irate parents. However, the job that requires the greatest concentration of work at one time and concerns seniors the most is the filling out of college transcripts. This task is made harder by the fact that everybody always waits until the last week to flood the office with transcripts, and rush the staff in an effort to get the records out on time. Although the office workers may not always be appreciated, they are always needed. The principal, Mr. Epstein, the vice-principal. Miss Bowerman and the administrative assistant, Mr. Goldberg appreciate the efforts of this cooperative staff. These industrious administrators are responsible for the well-run organization of our school. Physical Education Department: Under the able supervision of Mr. Lester Fein and his staff, the Department of Physical Education attempts to improve the general health and physical fitness of the students. Both the girls' and the boys' gymnastic and health classes come jndcr the auspices of this department. The girls' classes are taught by Miss Valente, Miss Judson, Mrs. Mazaica, Mr. Watson, 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. Nerenberg, 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, personal 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 are well attended. Those boys interested in athletics can participate in any of the numerous sports which include football, swimming, and basketball. Health Office: The health office, located on the first floor, is open during school hours for the convenience of students and as a medical aid station in case of accident. It operates on the principle that good health is important to any student; and with the help of physicians and medical technicians at the central office, students arc encouraged to develop proper health habits. Examinations are made there, and recommendations are sent to parents in order that students may receive proper care.— First aid and routine diagnoses are made by Mrs. August, the school nurse in attendance. Dorothea E. August Marion Wohlfarth Regina K. Mazaica Frances Judson Meyer W. Schwartz Leonard E. Watson Frances Valente Harriet Shapiro •mvf Lunch: The lunch period, to Weequahic’s students, is really the only breathing-space encountered during the day. The lunchroom is the one place in the school where one can, within limits, do as he chooses. The informality of sitting down at a long communal table, talking with a full mouth, and trying to finish next period’s homework simultaneously can lead to the formation of lasting friendships (not to mention acute gastric disorders). Under the Lunchroom Exodus” plan, which was born and buried during the last two years at Weequahic, students used to be able to eat lunch in school, and then walk outside for a coke, and a breath of fresh air (and a cigarette?) Now that the plan has been discontinued, any student wishing to leave the building during his lunch period must go to his locker before the period starts, get his coat, leave the building, and not return before the beginning of the next period. There are some Weequahic students who haven’t seen the inside of the lunchroom since their first few days as freshmen. These students can usually be observed, from the beginning of fourth period to the end of seventh, hovering around the entrance or strolling in groups of two and three along Chancellor Avenue. 22 They also make their presence felt at the pizzeria, the Bunny Hop, Halem's and the Dairy Queen. Sometimes, when the pressure of academic responsibilities mount up, students will forego their lunch periods in favor of undone chem labs, last-minute cramming sessions, or unavoidable make-up tests. To most of Weequahic’s students, however, the lunch period is the one time of the school day when they can, if they may, relax. WEEKLY MENU The price of a subsidized school lunch is $.37 Hot Lunches Cold Lunches Monday Chicken Noodle Soup Creole Sausages Potatoes and peas Bread and Butter Milk and Dessert Tuna Sandwich Salad Fruit Milk and Dessert Tuesday Tomato-Rice Soup Hamburger on Roll Mashed Potatoes Buttered Carrots Bread and Butter Milk and Dessert Egg Salad Sandwich or Pastrami Sandwich Fruit Milk and Dessert 23 Social Studies Department: 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. Every pupil is required by law to take a two-year course in United States history. Beginning with the colomzation of America and concluding with a study of the major systems of government, as well as propaganda, labor, and so forth, the course stresses democratic principles. 24 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 are in the regular program, but the coverage is more intense, 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, the 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 problems confronting us. 26 Study: As the second bell rings, a small group of stragglers disperses, as each student dashes to his auditorium seat. The period starts, the laborious period of watching the clock tick on and on until, forty minutes later, the passing bell will ring again. Study. Some students use this time constructively for finishing homework, reading the N. Y. Times, or cramming for next period’s test. Others stare out the window into the courtyard or try to see their friends in near-by classrooms. The more courageous and agile souls grab surreptitious bites of the sandwiches they had brought for lunch. Friends, separated by rows of seats, communicate by passing secret notes. As the period nears its end, two people in the back start talking, then two in the front, and so on, until the room becomes filled with the conglomerate noise of a roomful of whispers.” In exasperated tones, the teachers uniformly worn everyone to be quiet. For those students who are bored with auditorium or room study, there is the dangerous cut” to be spent in the toilet, or the opportunity to spend the period in the library is provided. In filling out the little white library slip, the student takes upon himself the obligation to use both his time and the library facilities constructively. At times, however, even this alternative does not satisfy a student. For other possibilities, under Mr. Epstein’s new policy, Honor Society members may decide for themselves how they will spend this period: they may go to the labs, art rooms, or non-scheduled classes. During the senior year, most students flock to get appointments in the College Office. The Library: Established in September, 1933, our library has grown to 8,500 school owned volumes, plus about 1,000 public library books here on indefinite loan. In addition, wc have the tremendous resources of the Main Library available to us upon request through a weekly delivery to the school. 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. Untermann. This fund has 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 Herzberg, donated approximately 800 books; and Helen G. Stevenson, former head of the social studies department, gave us a collection of history textbooks. The Board of Education gives the library an annual appropriation of about $1.35 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 pictures, 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 vocational and professional literature in books, magazines, and clippings, is used by individual students for personal research. Close co-operation with the guidance department makes this collection especially valuable for interview and study purposes. 27 Foreign Language Department: The department of Foreign Languages plays a key role in the life of Weequahic 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. The most popular language, French, is taught by Mesdames Glucksman ct Misurell, Mesdamoiselles Megaro et Griffin, et Messieurs Bauer, Gobeille, et Del Visco; Monsieur Morris Brenman 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 Francais, the French Conversation club and the French Affiliation club, I,'Affiliation du Lycee Mixte du Rainey. The work of this group is well-known to the student body, for this is the organization that was instrumental in arrang’ng the foreign exchange program which sent Susan Arons to LeRaincy, France and brought Alaine Jean-Marie Daniel Bourdeau de Fontenay here. The second language is Spanish, taught by Senora Birnbaum, Senoritas Patton y Griffin, y Senor Freidberg. 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. Honor courses in these two languages are offered for students who have excelled in their work, although the classes do not always achieve their goals. 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 Verein, the German club, is its extra-curricular arm. Latin is a language that is diminishing in popularity in Weequahic High. It is taught by Miss Patton and Mrs. Birnbaum with four semesters of work involved. The Latin Advanced Reading club offers advance instruction in Latin for those who have completed two years of Latin but wish to continue their studies in that ancient tongue. Another activity, the Latin club, encourages novice students. The birth of Israel brought Hebrew to our school. Mn Simon Chasen teaches the four terms of Hebrew' that are offered, and also advises the Hebrew club, which 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 Greek and Swahili classes are new at Weequahic Although Greek is not offered in the curriculum a class in ancient Greek is given after school hours to those interested in Greek. Started as a language experiment, the Sw-ahili class, which also meets after school, teaches this African tongue to a few, select students. Both groups are under the direction of the multi lingual Mr. Chasen. To enable students to further their language study, Weequahic offers the use of language laboratories. The only ones in the city, this means of language education allows students to improve both pronunciation and comprehension. Lawrence J. Del Viaco David A. Bemey I Louis Dulcz Science Department: Science at Weequahic High School seeks to develop in the student a set of attitudes, a reservoir of knowledge, 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 (biology and related branches), he learns the interrelationship between all living organisms and the balance between the plant and animal world 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 into, how man, in his search for the truth, often comes up with discoveries which make life more worthwhile. 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 overall insight into most of the important fields of everyday science and to help students orient themselves towards further study and work in these fields. The course in biology, taken mostly by sophomores, gives pupils an understanding of the world of living things, especially as they relate to man. Physics and chemistry are taken in the junior and senior years. The study of physics gives the student an understanding of the effects of energy on man and on the world, while chem'Stry 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. Students who complete three years of advanced placement science in Weequahic have taken advanced courses is biology, physics, and chemistry. The participants are carefully selected. They use college textbooks and college laboratory procedures under a program started only in the past decade by the College Entrance Examination Board. Walter Eiienberg Irving T. Gcddis Jr. David Marsh Harry Lutzkc Sidney Roscnfeld Clarence Seltzer George Martino Mildred Ycllin Esther Tumin Ruth Wcinc After School Activities: The last bell rings and the halls become a flurry of activity, students grabbing their jackets and books, hurrying in every conceivable direction. The outpouring of tired and hungry teen-agers mill around the sidewalks. Some head right for the buses; others gather slowly and drift toward the Y” or the Dairy Queen; others move aw-ay in pairs, quartets, or by themselves for the walk home; w'hile others participate in the various extracurricular activities sponsored by the student government, the O.B.A. The O.B.A. itself is the official student organization of Weequahic High. It has the power to formulate and suggest, but not, as some students think, to execute or govern. The O.B.A. does, nevertheless, have to shoulder responsibilities. It fills what would otherwise be a void in Weequahic’s student life. The O.B.A. supervises three or four dances held by student assemblies, such as the New Jersey Association of Student Councils, and participates in exchange programs with other schools. It runs elections, thereby promoting student interest in politics and democracy. Weequahic’s student government even handles charitable enterprises, including collections for United Appeals, Red Cross, Cancer Fund, Pencils for Korea,” and Books for Asia. It serves as a focal point for dissatisfied students who wish a discussion forum in which to air their grievances. The O.B.A. also offers credit awards for participation in extra-curricular activities, as well as the coveted W” to outstanding students; it subsidizes other school organizations, such as Ergo and the Calumet. Students settle down to such extra-curricular activities immediately after the big rush. Their studies range from French to Swahili, science to math, careers to sports. Each club caters to special interests. Some illustrate the diversification to be found in the enjoyment of a language. Science clubs are more precise in their aims; dissection, organic chemistry, and future physicians club among them. Other clubs, like the math team, have been praised as the best in the city. Still others endow their members with the forever sought-after O.B.A. credits, the symbol of the elite, the requirement for the National Honor Society. 32 Honor Society : S. Freeman, L.

Those with the gift of creativity hear sounds while working on Legend, Ergo, or Calumet, that of the clock. there are yet other meetings whose participants are seldom known and rarely thanked: students put in hours at hop, prom, and O.B.A. special committee meetings, at rehearsals for assemblies, a class play, or the dance band. The 2:35 bus riders may be heading for similar destinations, but their number also includes two special groups: one going to a job, and the other going to the library. Depending upon their special interests and skills, students who are gainfully employed during the late afternoon hours may work in an office, department store, library, drugstore, super market, or gas station. This profitable means of accepting responsibility and perhaps preparing for a future vocation may detract from the students' extra-curricular activities, but it does much to prepare him for a useful role in the adult world. The students' leisure time” may also be spent at the Newark Public Library. The one consolation of these labors is meeting and commiserating with friends similarly engaged. Other popular congregating areas for the academically inclined are the Weequahic and Bergen branches, where learning is more informal labor. Those who head straight home usually plunge into their homework. Homework can be boring torture or genuine pleasure depending on one’s attitude and preferences. Nevertheless, it is terribly time-consuming. Many students spend up to four hours a night in pursuit of their formal education, doing their homework. Of course there are those who mix homework with a few” phone calls, a little snack, and a bit of television. The ones who visit the Y engage mainly in athletics or small talk with the opposite sex. The Y” also offers the opportunity to participate in many worthwhile clubs or indulge in general non-productive leisure. Now to dinner, maybe the dishes and back to homework, the ”Y”, the phone, the T.V., hair washing. And, then to bed. This is the life outside of school. It’s not very exciting; it’s not out of the ordinary. However it does fill a very important part of our lives. Weequahic High School officially opens its sports campaign in early September when the tryouts for the football team are first held. Soon afterwards, the members of the band assemble for the initial session of the long practice schedule which precedes their halftime shows. From there on, there is no let-up in the athletic season until the final baseball game in June. Football: On October 4, 1958 Weequahic High School defeated Linden in a game of football by a score of 12-9. To those who had faithfully followed the ups and downs of their beloved Indians over previous seasons, this victory ended a long four year drought in which not one lone triumph could be attributed to the Weequahic team. To us though, the class of January, 1962, this game was a milestone in our high school careers. For the first time we could proudly say, We won!” — and really consider ourselves an integral part of the Weequahic we ' In the four campaigns that followed, there were many occasions in which the Indians gave their supporters cause for jubilation. Recovery from the enigma of their winless string, Weequahic steadily improved its strength in gridiron competition. The high point in this rejuvination of football at Weequahic was the 25-6 victory over arch-rival Hillside in the Thanksgiving game of I960. If the spirit displayed by the Indians during their play over this four year period will con- 36 tinue in the future, we can be certain that our school will continue to be well-represented on the football field. While the gridiron is grabbing most of the fall publicity, another sport is being enjoyed by a different group of Indian athletes. Soccer: Soccer, better known to the rest of the world as association football, is a game similar to football in that eleven men oppose each other in their attempt to maneuver a ball into the other team’s goal. However, it replaces football’s crude bodily contact of brute brawniness with cunning manipulation of the round ball and an attempt to go past the opposition rather than thru it. Probably the most popular sport in the world, soccer is now gaining strong following in the United States replacing football in some high schools. Soccer was introduced into Weequahic in 1955 and has since grown in popularity among the boys at Weequahic. The unique thing about the game is the great number of participants who kicked a soccer ball for the first time when they joined the team. This is in contrast to the many foreign students at Weequahic who strengthen the team with their long experience in playing the game. Combining this supply of material with the excellent coaching under Mr. Nerenberg, Weequahic produced two championship teams which captured the 1958 and 1959 city titles. Cross Country: If the most rigorous event in gym at Weequahic could be 37 voted upon by the student body, it is a certainty that the mile run would win a resounding victory. The fact that a group of boys are willing to run hundreds of laps in their after school hours, causes one to wonder about the attraction held by cross country. The cross-country race, 2Vi miles run over rugged conditions, is perhaps the most grueling of high school sports. Thus it is to the greater credit of the team that it has compiled a stunning series of victories and honors in recent years. Following closely the tradition of Bobby Mack, former Weequahic great and now Yale star, the harriers have consistently placed high in city and county meets, this year copping a title and a second place, respectively. Previously coached with great success by Mr. Schwartz, the team has this year come under the very able tutelage of Mr. Pearl. The transition occurred very smoothly, as the record shows, and prospects are bright for the continued success of this stalwart group of competitors. When the weather turns cold in November, the scene shifts indoors where Mr. Lester Fein coaches Weequahic’s basketball team through the pre-season practice that will put the boys in the proper physical condition for the long schedule ahead. Basketball: The last four years saw Weequahic High School become one of the major high school basketball powers in the eastern United States. A prime example of the recognition the Indians have achieved on the basketball court is the number of boys who have gone on to play for leading college teams in national competition. Among these alumni are Tom Boose (N.Y.U.), Art Woliansky (Colombia), and Jerry Greenspan (Maryland). During these four seasons, Weequahic twice advanced to the final game of the State Tournament (1959 and I960). Both times our opponent in this crucial contest was the powerful Camden squad. As all of us who journeyed to New Brunswick and Camden to witness the final games can attest, the Indians played their hearts out on both occasions. However, this Camden team — perhaps the greatest one New Jersey ever has produced — managed to send the Indians down to defeat in both meetings. Despite these failures to capture the championship, Weequahic's 1959 and I960 basketball teams must be ranked with the finest contingents ever to compete on the high school level. Track and Field: Similar to the Indoor team, the track and field team is hampered by its lack of space and time. Training begins in March, and practice is held daily, weather permitting, but only until 3:15, at which time the baseball team takes the field over. Competition is in most of the indoor events, plus the field events: javelin, discus, pole vault, and shot-put. The team has enjoyed good success in recent years, thanks to the service of Bobby Mack and Tom Krueger, who still holds the Essex county half-mile record. For the big city meet, the team is divided into senior and junior divisions. Last year the junior division captured the city title, thanks to the efforts of many highly talented individuals. Projecting into the seasons to come, Mr. Nerenberg may bring home many more title winners at this rate. Another sport w'hich doesn't draw many spectators, but offers a great deal to the boys involved, is indoor track. 39 Indoor Track: This sport attracts only the hardiest and most devoted of athletes in our school. The rigors begin about December 1, at which time Mr. Nerenberg starts the boys off with a strenuous conditioning program. Not until January are the facilities of the Newark Armory available to the team, and then only for short periods, three days a week. Dual meets are held with every city school that has a team. Among the events included arc the 60 yard dash, high hurdles, and the 220, 440, 880, and mile runs. Despite the severe lack of facilities, the indoor track team has fared excellently in city league competition, consistently beating more than half of its opponents. Swimming: By far the most successful team that Weequahic has produced in the last few years, the swimming team has suffered from a regrettable lack of recognition. Swimming is a most rudimentary form of basic competition in which training is the all-important idea. The Weequahic swimmer spends 270 hours each season in a grueling program of land and water workouts in preparation for about twenty minutes of racing. For the swimmer who can make it through the four years, there are 320 miles to be swum, the equivalent of lapping Unterman Field 1280 times. It is with a program like this that coach Leo Pearl has developed this team into one respected by all and beaten by none. Weequahic ended its ’61 season adding three more city records to its collection of five and extending its string of consecutive victories in dual competition to seventy-four meets. This show of excellence is characteristic of the team motto that nobody ever remembers the second place team. Surely the Weequahic Swim Team has proven itself to be a first rate club, one that our school can be proud to call its own. Baseball: Rounding out the sports picture of our annual participation in athletic competition is the baseball season. Hindered by a lack of talent, the Weequahic baseball team has done surprisingly well over the past four seasons. To makeup for the absence of much needed depth, coach Meyer Schwartz has had to platoon his players and rely heavily on the versatility of his few outstanding athletes. Despite the apparent weakness in reserve strength, the Indians have always managed to present a lineup that has offered the opposition some keen competition. This can be attributed to the spirit and fierce desire that has been required to fill in for our shortcomings in natural ability. Cheerleaders, Twirlers, The Band, Color Guard, Flag Bearers: No record of the sports program at Weequahic would be complete without mention of those dedicated boosters who contribute to our enjoyment of athletics as cheerleaders, color guards, twirlers, flag bearers, and members of the band. Upon entering high school many girls’ fancy turns to twirling or cheerleading. The display of talented tw irlers or screaming cheerleaders at their first high school football game gives them the impression that it is twirling or cheering for them or nothing. When the announcement of the start of cheering and twirling clubs reaches the homerooms, the vision of a twirler in uniform with a baton in her hand, or a cheerleader with a short skirt and a megaphone fills the minds of every hopeful twirler or chccrlcader-to-be. Twirlers: Left to Right: Nancy Small, Judie Schiffman The spot designated as the meeting place for these clubs rapidly fills up with freshman, as well as sophomores, juniors, and last minute seniors. Realizing that they just do not have the knack of it, many girls drop out after a few weeks, while others remain ever so enthusiastic. The day of tryouts arrives. Again some leave brokenhearted, while others remain with the feeling that their fondest dream has been fulfilled. Now the time has come for the new twirlers and cheerleaders to learn the makings of a good cheerleader or twirler. They begin to ask themselves certain questions. Is it worth getting up at 8:00 on Saturday morning for practice when I can sleep? When will I do my homework if I must go to practice four days a week after school? Is the cost of the uniform well worth the time and the effort? Speaking to any former twirler or cheerleader, Varsity Letter Winners: Top row. Left to Right: W. Sousa, J. Jarman, S. Bleier, D. Flecker. G Foreman Jr.. M. Reese. Bottom row: W. Richardson, W. Fromkin, H. Korn. M. Rappaport. J. Grossman, G. McMillon. you will find that she feels that it was worth every minute of it. While these girls are getting ready for their first game, they will meet with the band at least once a week and on Saturday morning of the game. The members of the band and selections of music to be played at the games are under the direction of Mr. Scocozza, who has always done a fine job, and has always made the school proud of the music department. At this time also, the color-guards and the flag bearers prepare for the football season. They work diligently, too. After several weeks of practice for the first game by all the enthusiastic participants, the day of the game arrives. As the spectators express their sympathy for the hard-working football players, do they ever give any notice to the twirlers, cheerleaders, the color-guards and the band who have put in a great deal of time and effort to make the game a success? 4 3 The athlete has had his day. He has enjoyed a glory tempered with disappointment, but, in retrospect, his laudable achievements have been suitably recognized with varsity letters and trophies. He has caught the inspiration of the spectator, who has wildly acclaimed him as a hero and faithful servant of his school. The recognition and the prestige which are synonymous with the successful athlete, and the satisfaction of doing one job well, are well worth the arduous practice and the drastic sacrifice of free valuable time involved in the strenuous, lengthy training periods. Viewing Weequahic from another aspect we discover those students to whom scholarship and knowledge arc more important than any public recognition available. These are people who prefer learning to play and almost anything to inactivity, who strive for intellectual achievement rather than report card marks. H;gh grades are an adjunct to learning, however, and those students who stand high in their class in grades are the students who have devoted so much time and effort to scholarly achievement. The top ten stand as the epitome of intellectual achievement in the class. Excellence in study and a thirst for knowledge can be the only reasons these students predominate the academic scene, and, although they do not seek it, they are fully deserving of unbounded recognition for their merit. Scholarship, however, is its own reward. 44 Principals: This section could not be closed without a retrospective look at the time we spent at Weequahic: four of the most memorable years of our lives. Helping to make them so at any school were the principals, whose personalities and characters permeated the works of the administration and school body. During our all-too-bricf stay at Weequahic we were fortunate to have had three very capable and versatile men as head of our school. Their differences were not of ability, but rather of personality, and this diversity served to enrich and enhance our school years. Many seniors can remember cowering in the halls as the towering form of Julius C. Bernstein strode purposefully down the corridor. Many will associate his forceful manner with the unforgettable memories of workmen roaming the halls while adding new rooms and a burglar alarm system, and with the ending of split sessions. Mr. Bernstein left Weequahic when we were just sophomores, much to the disappointment of students, parents, and the faculty. He was highly respected and admired. With growing apprehension we awaited appointment of our new principal. Dr. David E. Weingast, a former Weequahic history teacher and the author of several books, came. He was an able administrator in his own right. He, too, directed school policy and managed school affairs with the interests of the student body at heart. Dr. Weingast worked closely with the O.B.A. and by mutual cooperation instituted the lunchroom exodus plan. However, just as we were finally getting to know Dr. Weingast, he announced that he was leaving Weequahic to become assistant superintendent of schools. Though happy at his promotion, we developed a deep sense of insecurity over having lost two principals in such a short time. When the news broke that Mr. Benjamin Epstein, former head of the science department at Weequahic High School, was to take the position, the whole school was relieved and delighted; for he had been well-liked and respected in his teaching capacity. Mr. Epstein started teaching in Weequahic in 1938, serving as football coach, guidance counselor, and head of the science department. He helped initiate the advanced placement courses, and more recently was instrumental in getting Weequahic to follow the system of annual promotion. He is a warm, understanding person, and, though we are leaving, we hope that such a capable principal will be Weequahic’s administrator for many years to come. Julius C.

Janet Mary Wanat Eating, sleeping, and going out with friends keep Janet busy in her spare time. Her summer vacations are spent swimming, working, and driving. Janet may often be heard saying, What's the matter with you, you know? She has a great talent for dancing, and is often seen doing her favorite steps to the tunc of Runaround Sue.” Sharon S. Weinblatt Perhaps Sharon appears to be quiet in school, but this is only because she has not yet fully awakened. It seems that it is only after school that her true self blooms, and she becomes a bright and active girl. She enjoys going to the movies. Sharon is frequently found in the company of the opposite sex. In the future Sharon would like to take her place among the working people of the nation as a secretary. Paulette Weisholtz Losing tops off convertibles and getting flat tires on the Garden State Parkway seem to be Paulette's favorite pastimes. She occupies her time in other ways by listening to popular records, bowling, going out with her boyfriend, and taking diet pills. Paulette, who usually manages to get her own way, was a member of the former Charmant£s. Edward M. Weisslitz Big Ed , a name accurately describing him both in size and thought, favors the practical side of things. He likes history and economics because they deal with the events of our times. Ed can be found engrossed in reading or in sports, or perhaps he may be seen with his friends. Gerald H. Williams Gerald, or Sleeper , as his friends know him, considers history the most rewarding subject given in Weequahic. He is a fervent jazz enthusiast and also enjoys playing cards and basketball. Gerry has fond memories of the friends he has made at Weequahic, especially those willing to listen to his numerous jokes. Diane A. Wilson Diane's fondest memory of Weequahic is the night she performed in the 3A-4B play as the meek Russian mother in Romanoff and Juliet. However, Diane herself is by no means meek; she describes herself as “domineering but lovable. With a bright smile, a cheery outlook, and that gold ball pass she received one term for being on the super honor roll, Diane will undoubtedly achieve her goals of becoming a teacher, wife, and mother. Arlene Susan Wolf Quiet Arlene is a lover of foreign foods and popular music. She actively participated on the hop committee and the prom bids committee. Arlene lists her favorite subjects as typing, shorthand, and jewelry art club. Her pet peeve is one shared by many — the compulsory running around the track during the winter months. Diane A. Wilson Arlene Susan Wolf 68 J______________________________________________________________ Marion Wolf Marion's interest in accounting will someday aid Iter in attaining her goal of becoming a legal secretary. She is a very busy girl, often in a hurry, and finds the crowded hallways a great hindrance in reaching her destination. While Marion has a hectic schedule because of her part-time job. she still finds time for doing the things she enjoys most: bowling, viewing a good movie, or dancing. Marion's paramount ambition in life is to get that wedding band around her finger and have children. Harvey Lehr hoff Edwin G. Woodward Edwin, better known as Woody, has played football for Wccquahic for three years. He also participates in sports such as baseball and swimming. Woody will always be grateful to the football coaches who have helped him improve his abilities as a player. Being fond of music, he particularly enjoys rock n' roll and jazz selections and is a member of a singing group called the Joylarks. Planning to join the Armed Forces, he is looking forward to a life of health, wealth, and happiness. Stuart M. Yourish Stuie, an active member of the Y and of the Boys' Club, enjoys collecting coins and tropical fish. His spare time is filled with numerous activities which include working as a clerk in a drug store and recording songs. Although best described as placid, Stuie strongly asserts his one pet peeve — conceited girls. He hopes that cither obtaining a good job or attending college will eventually help him to realize his goal of making a million dollars. The news of Harveys death came as a sudden chill, ptercing our very bones, suiftly clutching and constricting our hearts. Harvey had played and laughed with us; he had shared all our hopes and fears, our joys and sorrows, our days and nights, our youth. Now he is gone. It is his final and grimmest joke on all of us who had been so quickly and lovingly amused and warmed by Harvey’s presence and life. Now — all this is smashed. From the wreckage of his young life we, his classmates, his friends, his mourners, we will painfully attempt to put back together the pieces of his memory. Harvey is gone. But his place in this book, in our class, in our hearts — remains. Barbara S. Zwillman Barbara, whose ambition is to have an art career and get married, is pleasant and amiable. Her greatest annoyances are black Thunderbirds and her sister. When she is not with her friends, Barbara is found drawing or painting. Success, happiness, and health are what she wants roost out of life. Barbara S. Zwillman _________)_________ 69 The Background: Now you have seen our faces. They are varied in shape, size, and color. But our background? That’s what we truly have in common: the social, economic, and cultural impact of our times. It would be inexcusable negligence were we to omit some record of our world, our four years at Weequahic, and the life and culture around us. Therefore, we have kaleidoscoped four years of New York Times headlines and news into four pages so that you and we may look back some day on our years at our high school — and see the world. Our school paper, The Calumet, makes an excellent vehicle to summarize the life we led and followed from 1958 to 1962. We have, therefore, reconstructed eight issues (one for each term at Weequahic) which deal only with events connected with this senior class. Of course, we must include the sports records made by our various athletic teams. For some students, these records were and will be their chief reading. For others, they represent a balanced picture of our total school. This is the age of opinion research. Even we, the youth, are consulted as to our preferences and outlooks. Why not? We represent a huge portion of the buying audience. Some results of opinion testing by the Gilbert Youth Opinion Research Co. are included in this section so that we may look back at the artificial cross-section presented here. Finally, we have included lists, lists, lists: best books, best plays, best-sellers. Maybe twenty years from now we may see how silly we were to be guided by popularity polls. For the future archaeologists, there is an incomplete but wide-ranging price list of commodities we bought in our time. 70 The Background THURSDAY.

Many of them are willing to give college credit for each courses offend in high school The criteria fee selecting the member of advanced cissies differs in the department . The greatest weight, however, is placed on marks. I feel that interest in a subject la equally as important as previous achievement. Very often a student who has don well in a regular clast will not be esthuei-aatic enough to exert himself sufl rtently to meet the standard f aa advanced group. These class benefit ill stodeeits whether they be superior, average, or poor. In hetergeaeous groups, the advanced student often find that be ran do hU work In half the time.

Tbea objectors claim that when the Declaration of In-drpendenew created all men equal, it referred to equality of opportunity.

Therefore it is logical that c'aaiea for varying type of atudenU should be act up Hoaao-geneoue grouping doe not violate •quality of opportunity to learn in our schools bra amply provides for learning at a higher or lower i level. I personally think that thee classes have proved to be a groat success.

I recall an image of a shy, awkward teen-ager of thirteen uncertainly walking into Weequahic for the first time. How can I possibly convey what I felt that first day? My whole body seemed to be a horrid mass of nerves; fears and doubts feverishly attacked my brain. Weequahic High School's immensity and strangeness attacked me everywhere. Fortunately, my nervousness and anxiety were gradually eased as I familiarized myself with Weequahic. 1 was now one of the crowd I always saw milling around Wecquahic's entrances. On the first day of the new term 1 carried my brand-new notebook, several sharp pencils, and a fresh, inky pen. When 1 caught a glimpse of a familiar face, 1 immediately rushed over, full of nervous chatter about what lay ahead. When I recognized an upperclassman and he greeted me, I finally realized that, to the kids who were still left in my grammar school, I, too, was one of the faceless mass, the vaguely sanctified group who had been graduated. Carried along by the unruly crowd of newcomers, I found myself in the auditorium. I sat with my friends, and, as I realized the possibility of separation, the nervous knot in the pit of my stomach tightened with apprehension. On the stage the principal of the school, Mr. Bernstein, introduced Weequahic to me. He bid me a warm welcome and hinted at the dire punishments he contemplated for any infringements of school rules. His speech contained many terms I didn't understand at all: “What does sagamore mean?'' What exactly is the O. B. A.?”. Another official took the stage and told his apprehensive audience that they were about to be assigned to homerooms. 1 silently grimaced to my friends, indicating, Gee, I hope we're together.” The ensuing list was read to the accompaniment of sundry delighted squeals and heartbroken groans. When I heard my name (mispronounced), I grabbed my notebooks and my coat, stepped across legs and books, and followed my assigned teacher. My group was led through the unfamiliar halls to a classroom where I officially commenced my academic career in Weequahic by learning how to fill out innumerable clerical forms, last name first. At the shrill sound of a bell, I automatically rose, floor plan in hand, to unravel the tangle of UP and DOWN stairways, room-numbers, and the ground floor. I was on my way. The freshmen Indians were obliged to follow a different schedule that first year. At 10:40 A.M. I had a homeroom period amidst chaos and confusion in an overcrowded auditorium; I left a nearly-deserted Weequahic at 4:06. Happily, I managed to endure that late session by sleeping until ten o'clock every morning. Oddly enough, 1 came to tolerate the periodic stampede of students in the hall enroute to their next classes; I wearily accepted those head-on, book scattering collisions every time I opened my locker. These daily occurrences instilled in me a sense of belonging to Weequahic. To this day, I pride myself on the fact that I never bought an elevator or swimming pass from upper classmen who haughtily ridiculed those stupid little freshmen.

I dutifully used up my energy to root the basketball and baseball teams on to victory. (Later it was the football team.) But these are only the superfluous aspects of Weecjuahic. After all, isn't the primary function of a high school to develop the student's mind to its greatest capacity? Is it? At the beginning of my IB term I would have grudgingly replied, Yes to that question. I ignorantly blamed my conscientious teachers for suffocating my mind with facts, figures, and formulas. But then I realized the importance of a liberal education. I devoted long hours at night to study; algebra or J.B.T., French or business math, English or general science. My first cycle report card proved that my tedious efforts were not futile, and I proudly displayed it everywhere. (Self-consciously, I covered up that D in gym.) By my close association with many different personalities, I managed to lose some of my shyness. Soon I developed sincere friendships which were to become an integral part of my life at school. In retrospect, I can honestly say that my first year a Weequahic High School proved to be a very trying but rewarding one. My second year at Wccquahic High School was highlighted by the banishment of the embarrassing word freshman” from my vocabulary. Instead, it was replaced by a word with a softer and kinder tone — sophomore”. I was overjoyed! I felt even better when I met the new sophomores from the junior highs. Their unfamiliarity with Wccquahic reminded me of the good old days when I was a lowly, bewildered freshman. Somewhat sympathetic, I extended a helping hand to these students who seemed perpetually lost in their strange new world. They were grateful, and I discovered in turn that I had made many wonderful friendships. Unhappy with my appearance, I followed my friends and became extremely style conscious. This was typified by the huge bills that I carelessly piled-up in order to buy pleated skirts, bulky sweaters, and sneakers. These articles were the trademark of a Weequahic girl. Bravely, I cast aside the last remnant of my childhood, the ponytail, in favor of the stylish, short bubble. Soon school pressures took their toll. I was blessed with unsightly, dark bags under my eyes as I stayed up later and later to study my sophomore subjects: biology, honors French. M.A.P., English. Yes, I had typing, too. That subject caused me much irritation and frustration, but I finally worked my speed up to nine words a minute. Sports seasons came and went. By this time I had learned the names of all the players. I felt a part of the team, wildly exulting at its victories, dying a little bit with each defeat. But there were many, many games to play; we could certainly win the next one. The end of my sophomore year was the halfway mark of my high school career. I was proud of myself for having retained good grades throughout the preceding two years. I was also becoming more and more of an extrovert. I enthusiastically greeted the arrival of my B term. For me, this term was the beginning of an exciting year in which I could fully participate in class events. Such an opportunity was immediately available with the election of class officers. The class spirit manifested itself in the aspirations of twenty students who hopefully attacked classmates in order to obtain signatures for their petitions. I was one of them. The day of elections finally came and ... the suspense 99 n e INFORMATION OF THE FACULTY j HAS RECENTLY OEEN DROUGHT TO l| THERE EXISTS A VARIANCE IN TH6 L TELEPHONE OY TEACHERS AND Of STENT POL CV ' ’' - 'OWED WHEN NAL REASOt S ARE 1 TO A LOCA ITj FOR I COST OF ml -WNE Ng|AREA t jl | NED I ™ ro' 4tfJ f !

Memories will cling to these tunes that were ours, To the endless, enchanting “Stai ay to die Stars. ended when four names were announced. My heart jumped up and down with disbelief as I heard my name called out. I was overwhelmed with gratitude; the members of my class had so willingly put their confidence in me. I was determined to serve my class faithfully in my new position. I was beginning to feel the new-founded closeness of my class outside of Weequahic, also. Class parties were the vogue at that time, and I never dared to miss any of these lively, overcrowded get-togethers. The biggest event for me, though, was the picnic at South Mountain Reservation. All my worries vanished as I joyously frolicked along the picnic area — singing, hiking, and toasting (burning?) hot-dogs with my classmates. Then not long after this, the evaluators invaded Weequahic. I, as an upper classman, decided to exemplify the successful results of our school's fine teaching system. In French, English, math, and history classes, my classmates and I set a commendable pattern of behavior for other students to follow. (The teachers called on us if our right hand was raised; if our left hand was up, we didn't know the answers.) The gala social event of my 3A term was the square dance in the school gym. I rushed into a happy, little town called Squaresville on the Hill , and had an exhausting rime square dancing, playing musical clairs, and performing a strange concoction of waltzes, and bumps, I'll never forget that fun-filled night. Thus, my junior year brought me one step closer to my goal of attaining the title of senior”. During my senior year, I, like many other seniors, could be distinguished by my listless, shuffling walk, occasional wistful glances as a junior, and dejectedly drooping shoulders. My malady was easily diagnosed; it was senioritis. Instead of conscientiously studying Mr. Martino’s elaborate chemistry notes, I was off with the gang” composing songs for our June hop. Instead of reading a French book, I, having just obtained my permit, calmly took to the road while my frantic parents hysterically screamed that their darling, little” daughter was going to be killed. They never were so wrong; I only demolished their car. Instead of studying about the Federal Communications Commission in history, I clumsily practiced cheerleading for the 4B-4A game. Instead of finding the probability of the number of clubs in a stack of cards for my probability and statistics class, I was laboriously calculating the probability of my having a date for the next Saturday night. Instead of writing a thesis for English, I was employing all my dramatic talent to obtain the lead in our 3A-4B play, Romanoff and Juliet. My 4B term flew by so quickly, too quickly, and with it went the most memorable event of the term, the hop. But the memory of the Stairway to the Stars” and the good time I had still remains with me. Senioritis reached its peak for me immediately after Torch Day, when I realized that I was a senior in every sense of the word. Thus, I completed all my homework in an hour, and when I was mercifully accepted by the college of my choice, I disdained studying altogether. I didn't even flinch when a C” stared back at me on my report card. I nostagically look back on four years at Weequahic, and I can only hope my future will be as kind to me as my past has been. 101 1 ■ MAYER, CAROL NAME • « CHARTER M in th« NEWARK SnrvICM Of tho Jr Cantor of Ettoj 9 W ' AX C I Q y Q' 5 _ . ii y s V ✓ The Classes of 1961 of WEEQUAHIC HIGH SCHOOl niiuxr fiomatioft (Juliet By P««� f Ustinov ADMISSION one dollar The bear {{ } t Le end permitted to Pa Best Wishes to the GRADUATING CLASS OF JANUARY 1962 from NEWARK MUNICIPAL COUNCIL Councilmen at Large MICHAEL A.

PREFACE This Legend does not pretend to be encyclopedic. It is merely a record of some sights and sounds of this graduating class. It is imperfect despite all our efforts, even in its limited aim: to be a primer, an ABC book; a beginning, not an end. Thus, we imagine a number of readers will be annoyed. Our ABC’s do not include all the activities the Senior’s might wish. The sports (pages 47-55) section is too long or too short. For those who read, the essay (starting on page 67) may not give a very flattering portrait of a school day. (It is our truth, anyway). Possibly the brief biographies accompanying the senior portraits (pages 78-133) will be more acceptable. (They are their truth). The faculty should be pleased, but that depends on the quality of their photographic reproductions. It was not simple to get out this ABC book. We hope the book is not simple.

Now read the essay and learn something, relive something, and perhaps cherish something from your years at Weequahic. 65 r is for the End. Early in the morning the halls are practically empty. Those present: teachers who come early every day to help floundering students, kids who live near school, and bleary-eyed students, unaccustomed to the early hour, who have come for detention or makeup tests. The monotony of buff colored walls, wooden doors and endless lockers is underlined by an almost tangible hush. By the time most kids get to school, however, the halls have become just the background for the breezy and unruly crush of arriving students. In warm weather they go through the morning locker ritual quickly: twist the combination lock, open the door, take out books, deposit last night’s homework, store away today’s lunch, slam the door. There is still time left for a gossipy walk to homeroom. On very cold or rainy days coats, umbrellas, boots, and bad moods complicate matters greatly. There is some pushing on the slippery stairways. The 8:20 bell rings and now everybody hurries. Lockers are kicked and slammed, meeting places arranged, conversations reluctantly cut off — to be continued later on. Before the late-bcll rings, the homeroom is a disorganized collection of kids — some copying homework; some rehashing last night’s basketball victory; some just sitting in their seats, trying to wake up. Towards 8:30 most students interrupt themselves long enough to take their seats, or any empty ones handy. Usually, just as the minute hand makes its final jump to the 8:30 bell, the eternal latecomer makes his entrance — to the standard chorus of almost ritualized jeers. The teacher, who has clerical work to take care of, is in no mood to quibble about quiet. He puts on a “teacher” expression and sternly calls for order. When the general buzzing subsides, someone whose turn has come to read five required Bible verses gets up before the group and begins the morning exercises. The Lord’s Prayer is said by a few who mean it; but mostly, just as a result of reflex conditioning of years of morning exercises, it is muttered over the New York Times or yesterday's homework. When this is over, the notices (club meetings, basketball and 67 _____ yjQOi--- Op bbOOoe (5060OOQ o ooo DO oec c o O o � O o o — V' V v W' VC’C-'V V - O ($ oaooooeooooo® « OooOO floO® ° ° ltel3c.06'3o0000ao ® «a«£ ea oorvocva ® O Ci Oj£«LC OAOOO _ football ticket arrangements, scholarship opportunities. Community Chest drives) are read and ignored. Then the pleaders take over: collections of class dues, Legend ad money. New York Times. Ergo and Calumet subscriptions, O.B.A. memberships. It never stops. After five or ten more minutes of homework-copying, hair-fixing, notebook-arranging, and gossip-mongering, most of the members of the homeroom get up and move towards the door. The passing bell rings, and all move out into the hall. As the homeroom empties, one student is left somewhere in the back, staring at nothing in particular, with his books still scattered on the floor where they had slipped. To the genial cry, “Hey, dummy, the bell rang!” he responds with an absent nod. Then, jolting himself back to reality, he sighs, gathers his books, and usually trudges out to first period. On the average of about once a week, usually on Wednesdays, the morning routine is interrupted by an assembly program. Such a program, presented by the O.B.A., may consist of any one of several widely varied kinds of entertainment. It may be a long address by Mr. Epstein, a football rally, a debate, a current events lecture by some knowledgeable speaker, a concert by our band, a tumbling demonstration, a dance program featuring Weequahic students of professional caliber — or anything else that might interest or instruct a high school audience. Most of the programs are successful (they capture the attention of much of the audience). The inattentive are often preoccupied with hiding illicit homework papers or textbooks from the homeroom teachers. But whatever the assembly, its long range effect is the same. Only one third of Weequahic’s students sees the assembly at any one time; the other two-thirds get an extra hour-long study period; and everybody, teachers included, can look forward to shortened thirty-five minute assembly-day period. On assembly days, however, the homeroom is more disorganized than usual. The opening exercises are omitted, for they will be included in the program (plus the principal’s address, a flag poem, and a mass rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner”). The general attitude of senior homerooms is, “For goodness sake, we’ve gone through all this a million times already. Why can’t we have a study?” But, when the 68 bell rings and all line up to go to the auditorium, spirits arc visibly higher and steps inadvertently lighter. No one will deny that assembly days are at least a little bit special. The classes walk through the halls and down the stairs to the auditorium in formal homeroom groups. Despite teacher warnings everybody talks. As the groups converge, loud familiar greetings pass between friends in different homerooms, splashes in the tide of normal conversation. Nearing the auditorium, some kids unconsciously fall into rhythm as they hear the band strike up its usual football-type entrance march. The music gets louder and louder, reaching full volume — cymbals, piccolos, and all — inside the big double doors. Each homeroom group makes its way to its section and finds seats, friends breaking out of line to sit together. Everybody tries to avoid seats on the aisle where the teachers might sit down next to him. This would kill all hopes of notepassing, last-minute homework, or quietly subversive comment. At last all the homerooms are seated and the band goes through its march one last time. The chatter and seat-squeaking die out while the principal walks to the lectern and begins the program with some well-chosen verses from the Bible. 1 he members of the other two assembly groups, who will not see the day’s program, remain in their homerooms for an extra long study period. Most Weequahic students, seniors in particular, consider this academic windfall by far the more pleasant alternative. The atmosphere at such times is similar to that of the morning homeroom period, but more serious and less formal. In the newer rooms the movable single-unit desks fall into abstract patterns as clusters of students shove their desks into congenial little circles, ideal for gossip, homework exchange, or sociable studying. Other kids, occupied with work and worry, turn their backs on the rest to retreat into private worlds. Retreat of this kind is always difficult, but on days when the assembly program is piped into the homeroom through the loudspeaker system, the privacy seekers drag their desks far away to a back corner — seeking peace. There they remain, elbows on the 69 desks, muttering as they reread the same words again and again, their palms pressing hard over their cars. Some “students” wander about the room perching on people’s desks looking for conversation. Undaunted by the frankly resentful stares of the serious studyers, they go on to more receptive company. Usually they, too, end up by joining one of the various circles of chattering magpies. The pattern varies little from homeroom to homeroom. The only differences are geographic. Also, in the older homerooms, there are no movable desks, and the lot of the privacy-seekers is a little more intolerable. At Wccquahic, time is always carefully measured and cut into pieces. Even on assembly days. The bells, the scissors that do the cutting, summon everybody, whether in homeroom, assembly, or study, to return from his personal limbo. First period begins in 5 minutes. The betwecn-classes rush is always pretty much the same. The width of the crowd and the narrowness of the halls make it almost impossible to progress; part of the crush overflows onto the “Up” stairway at the end of the hall, its place is filled via the “Down” stairway at the other end. Little by little the crowd begins to thin out. Small groups disengage themselves and walk at their own pace, talking and laughing, until one by one, they disappear into their classrooms. There are many groups, and, to the members of each, they arc composed of individuals. But to the outsider, the single members of each group are all but indistinguishable from one another. One kind is four or five girls walking, conscious of the effect they produce with their short little steps and skirts to match. They speak freely and gaily among themselves, their youthful conversation betraying their carefully made-up faces. Their hair arrangements are “teased” and lacquircd — sometimes adding three or four inches of height — and ornamented with shiny or velvet bows. The boys with whom they walk arc fashionably turned-out: tight “continental” slacks, bright ivy league shirts — collar button never, never closed, shaggy. 70 baggy, bulky sweaters, and shiny black leather shoes. The girls hold their books in front of them, their hands clasped to hold them tight; the boys hold theirs with one arm, casually, hanging at their sides. In another group the girls are easily recognized. Their hair is long and worn either loose or, in the classic manner, caught low on the neck with a clip. Their clothes, too, are fashionably unfashionable. As a rule they wear dirty sneakers over their black leotards, but in warmer weather they favor sandals or loafers and cool bare feet. They swing their large leather bags over their shoulders, and their stride is long. The boys of this group are not much concerned with fashions or fads. They are prone to wearing their sneakers until they fall apart and forgetting about barbers until their hair begins to interfere with their vision. Their real natural habitat is the hooded sweatshirt and the open air. These two groups represent the extremes of the 2200 individualists who make up the four or five easily recognizable types of Wccquahic (or maybe American) students. As groups and individuals reach their destinations and detach themselves from the mass, the pace quickens. When the bell rings, the inevitable few stragglers break into a run. Soon the halls are empty, except for teachers on hall-patrol duty, students “out with the pass, and Sagamores. The locker-lined halls are now peaceful and empty, and it is hard to believe that short minutes ago, hundreds of students ebbed and flowed their way about the building in a noisy, jam-packed, and slowly-creeping crush. First period Now the school day has begun in earnest and there are seven more whole periods to go. The clock over the blackboard will click its long black minute hand many, many times before 2:35. In a basement gym class girls arc straggling out of the locker room buttoning their blue uniforms, some rolling their regulation white gym socks as neatly as possible over the folded stockings underneath, or rubbing chalk on the more obvious smudges on their sneakers. A chemistry teacher has launched into monologue about acids or something; his 71 students fidget in their seats doing homework for other classes, passing notes, writing poetry, staring at the clock. In another chemistry class the students hunch over their test papers as they wrack their brains for half-memorized definitions and equations and wish they had studied just a little harder. Upstairs on the third floor a history class begins a discussion of world events and the latest political crisis. Some students participate with enthusiasm; others look as knowing and as nonchalant as possible, hoping they won’t be called on to recite. On the business side of the school, the staccato clicks of many typewriters blend into an almost rhythmic pattern as the teacher moves about the room glancing at the diligent students, sharply correcting the lazy or inept. The girls in a steno class snap open slim business-like notepads and poise their pens, ready to record the dictation. And the clock ticks on. Most students, immersed in the problems at hand, have ceased to notice it. Time goes faster, but its passage is filled by infinite variations of worry, work, responsibilities, remembering the things that make up a school day. A few heads in every class turn towards the clock again as the period is drawing to a close. The history teacher calls for questions. A chcm teacher finishes his lecture and his class starts piling up books and clicking ballpoint pens. The students in the other class throw desperate glances at the clock and write a little faster. The warning bell rings through the school; the gym classes are dismissed and the once-a-day athletes, tired and sweaty, crowd into the locker rooms to change. At the sound of the passing bell the oncc-quiet halls overflow, and empty again, just as before. The second period will be just the same as the first; only the faces will change which look at the clock, turn upside down on the rings in gym, grimace over tests, contort with suppressed laughter at whispered jokes. And still the clock ticks on. Third period. Fourth. Fifth period. The same crowd in the halls. Now, however, an interlude of liberty; lunch. 72 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 line for hot lunch, the sandwich line, or the candy line. Looking up at the menu-box, the students note what hot lunch is being served. Chuck-wagon steak, frankfurter, lasagna, chicken chow mein, hamburger, spaghetti and meatballs, cheese ravioli, Italian meatball sandwich, veal parmesian, or pork chops. There is always a scoop-full of mashed potatoes, and cither 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: tuna fish, peanut butter, egg salad, or bologna sandwiches. 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 a time of animated conversation, laughter, studying, spilled milk, scraped dishes, and shuffling 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’s last, decisive click. Hands nervously begin 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 some kids start from their chairs, sitting 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, 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 through the brown swinging-doors. Soon the lunchroom is empty, and again the wooden doors swing to and fro, to and fro, as a new group enters for lunch. Eating out is another matter. One may eat at the Indian Pizzeria, Sid’s (formerly Eddie Mort’s, now The Haven), Harjay’s, Chancellor Deli, or the Bunny Hop. Those places are jam-packed during lunch 73 period. Inside: the smell of cigarettes, noise, confusion, and food. There is also a feeling of freedom. There arc no teachers here, no Sagamores, no late-slips, tardy-notes, passes, no chances for detention. There arc forty minutes of freedom, and it can be felt; there is a certain extra exuberance, wider smiles, louder talk. and. of course, cigarettes. Close tabs are kept on the time, and when the period nears its end, groups of students begin to gather in front of the school, waiting for the bell to ring so they can enter the building. The bell rings, and the doors swing open again and again as the students make their way inside. Inside, the inevitable crowd is pushing its way through the halls to sixth period. Other students dash to their lockers for their coats, for it is now their turn at liberty. They leave, glancing at the boys in the workshop hammering nails and making noise. Upstairs an M.A.P. 9 class opens its calculus books, and somebody goes to the board to suggest some answers to the homework problems. In another room, two language students stumble through an original, supposedly memorized, skit. If the day is fairly warm, there is a gym class or two running four monotonous exhausting laps around the Untermann Field cinder track. The kids from lunch straggle back to school as the period nears its end. Then, the bell, the crush, the quiet. Seventh period begins, much the same as the other six. An English teacher starts a discussion of Shakespeare’s philosophy, rewarded by enthusiasm from some and stifled yawns from the rest. On the second floor typewriters tap out eternal “a;” drills. A study teacher looks up from correcting his test papers, scanning the auditorium for the instigator of the suspiciously contagious coughing fit. Somebody gets up from his table in the library to ask at the desk for a hall pass. And the clock continues to tick. On to eighth period, last and seemingly longest of the day. To most students it brings nothing more than forty five more minutes of classwork. To others. Legend or Calumet staff members, it is the time of relative independence. A time for gossip, some homework, a faculty adviser’s lecture on responsibility and creativity, and — usually just before a deadline — a time for work. 74 Twice a week most seniors spend a period in lab. There, along with their partners, they fiddle with test tubes, copy lab notes, test physics laws, and try the patience of the laboratory teachers — both of whom usually have patience to spare. Towards the end of eighth period everybody, teachers and students alike, begin to stare openly at the clock, waiting the incredibly long last minute till the final click brings the passing bell. Again the halls fill with students, but now each kid hurries straight to his locker. Every day, Friday in particular, a strong current of relief buoys the talk-click-rcach-slam-click-kick of the 2:35 locker ritual. Kids run through the halls to meet their friends, dropping old test papers or homework as they go. They shout farewells and mutter fervent curses as they shove their way through the milling crowd. At last the halls are empty. The mass of students is gone, and the echoes of its loud confusion have just fallen silent. The janitor goes about his business, sweeping the litter from the floors into a big cardboard which he pulls along behind him. The only sounds are his footsteps and the swishing of his broom as he shoves along a tide of refuse: torn test papers, an old handbag, (discarded; lost . . .) a few jag-toothed combs, somebody’s old book cover, somebody else’s uncovered book, a scribbled note with its names crossed out. The janitor continues his trudge through the hallway. Elsewhere in the school several of Weequahic’s forty-three clubs are meeting. The 3A-4B play has a rehearsal; the fencing club duals in the gym; the math club solves a problem; the indoor track team completes its appointed rounds; the debating club debates; the Ergo staff argues about God. In the Calumet and Legend rooms kids wander about, worrying over deadlines, sitting on a desk top to chat, yelling at each other, or working. The advisers usually sit at their front desks, smouldering. It is they who must create some kind of order from this chaos, and it is they who bear the responsibility for the finished literacy of the products. Finally even this activity ceases. The club meetings adjourn. 75 Boys and girls walk to their lockers, laughing, complaining, and worrying. Their sporadic locker-slams and bursts of talk create pockets of life in the silent halls. Soon, they, too, leave the school, for home and homework, family and friends, tears and laughter, dreams and sleep. The silence in the school retreats into itself, to rest till they return. But outside, the picture is different. Sports abound, day or night. Spectator sports, participation sports. Basketball, baseball, football, soccer, swimming, indoor track, outdoor track, cross-country. Each has its own aficionados. Some draw the interest of almost everyone, while others seem to attract only relatives. Football games draw the largest attendance. But basketball is an integral part of the way of life in Weequahic High School. The gym classes play it during the winter, individual students play it at home whenever there isn’t snow on the ground, and the Weequahic team plays it in places like Haddonfield while the entire student body screams and prays them on to victory. The Class of June 1962 witnessed the blossoming of Weequahic into a perennial power in New Jersey high school competition. In the four years between 1958 and 1962 the Indians took three City Championships; four New Jersey Group 4, Section 2 titles; three Montclair Invitational Tourney crowns; and one New' Jersey Group 4 championship. A true breeding ground for outstanding athletes, Weequahic has sent such stars as Tom Boose (N.Y.U.), Art Woliansky (Columbia), and Jerry Greenspan (Maryland) on to greater heights in college competition. There is a special significance to the Class of June 1962 in Wee-quahic’s winning of the State Championship in our senior year. As they watched the Indians advance to the finals, they remembered 1958 and 1959 when Camden set Weequahic back in the tournament finale. They remembered bitterly the empty feeling when they had trudged out of the gym — accompanied by the yells of jubilation from the Camden supporters. This time, however, the jubilation was theirs! By defeating Westfield 55-52, Weequahic had made this June 1962 class the first graduating class ever to leave its halls as State Champions. 76 Baseball, the national pastime, attracts little notice at Wccquahic. No reason, that’s just the way it is. It bears no relationship to the success or failure of the team although Wecquahic’s baseball squad is hindered by a shortage of second line talent. This lack of “bench strength” has made it necessary for Coach Shelly Weil and predecessor Meyer “Spike” Schwartz to rely heavily on their few outstanding ballplayers. By their platooning the more proficient at different positions, it has been possible to get the maximum mileage from these few better athletes. Even with this thin reserve strength behind the starting nine, Weequahic has continually caused trouble for opposing teams. Overcoming the shortcomings in ability with fierce desire and the will to win, the Indians are not merely biding their time until the day when they can make a strong challenge for city honors. They hustle and attempt to capitalize on the other team’s errors — while trying to commit as few errors of their own as possible. With such determination, this will be a difficult team to stop once the talent presents itself. High school football is the greatest spectator attraction outside of professional sports. Regardless of previous losses and disappointing seasons, Weequahic’s football team has consistantly drawn huge crowds of students, alumni, and neighborhood supporters. This enthusiastic backing has done much to heighten the spirit of the competing athletes. However, even an enthused group of football players cannot compete on an equal footing with a team that has depth and outstanding talent. Weequahic has had to face heavier, more talented teams armed only with courage and a line-up of good — but not outstanding — athletes. Discouraged by the threat of injury and lack of parental consent, many potential gridiron stand-outs have chosen other sports. Despite the shortage of first rate material. Coach Stamelman has still been able to assemble some fairly competent teams in the past few years. Continually improving as the season progressed, Weequahic had its “finest hour” in the final game of the 1960 campaign. Facing arch-rival Hillside, the Indians stopped the Comets 25-6. Although the 1961 version of this traditional meeting saw- a Hillside 32-12 victory, the future looks far brighter. A City Championship Jayvec squad will be 77 advancing to the varsity next fall, and perhaps then Weequahic will be in contention for its first city title since 1951. Swimming is a most rudimentary form of basic competition in which training is the all-important idea. The Weequahic swimmer spends 270 hours each season in a grueling program of land and water workouts in preparation for about twenty minutes of racing. For the swimmer who can make it through the four years, there are 320 miles to be swum, the equivalent of lapping Unterman Field 1280 times. With Coach Leo Pearl providing the guidance, Weequahic has taken five consecutive city championships since 1957. This consistent show of excellence is characteristic of the team motto that nobody remembers the second place team. Engaged in a youth movement during the ’62 season, the Indian swimmers will next year be at peak strength for a shot at the state title — a goal never attained by a Weequahic swimming team. Whatever the outcome of the 1963 season, though, the swimming team has already proven itself to be a first rate club, one that our school can be proud to call its own. tiuropc’s most popular sport is soccer. Hundreds of thousands of fans pour into ornate stadiums all across that continent so that they might cheer their heroes, intimidate the referees, and possibly make a side bet or two. American youth nurtured on a diet of baseball, basketball, and football, rarely even hear of the sport until they enter high school. But once they are bitten, they rapidly become hard-core enthusiasts. They are captivated by the cunning manipulation and quick reflexes required to get the soccer ball through the opposition’s line and into the well defended goal. They are intrigued by the wide open defense and wide possibility of scoring plays. Soccer was introduced to Weequahic in 1955 by Coach Joe Nerenberg. Faced with the problem of teaching many of the boys “from scratch,” the coach was pleased to find himself with a number of experienced foreign born students. These boys provided the backbone for what was to become a formidable squad. Expertly combining the “pro” with the “novice,” the Indians managed to capture the city titles in 1958 and 1959. 78 Consisting of three separate teams. Wccquahic’s track program is able to provide running opportunities for boys throughout the school year. Assembling in the early fall, the cross country team is perhaps the most dedicated to vigorous self-discipline and training. The race is run over 2Vi miles and requires great stamina and a true knowledge of one’s own capabilities. A runner must be able to pace himself and thus take advantage of his opponent’s weaknesses if and when the occasion arises. The Indian harriers have consistently met these standards, and last season placed first in the city and second in the county meets. This fine showing was in the best tradition of the fine long distance teams established when Bobby Mack. Yale stand-out and U.S. Olympic hopeful, was running for Weequahic. When Untermann Field is snowf covered and the gym classes are given a blessed respite from the “mile run,” the scene shifts indoors. Here, the indoor track team starts off the season with a strenuous conditioning program that has to make up for the severe lack of adequate practice facilities. Coached by Mr. Nerenberg, the squad takes part in the 60 yard dash, high hurdles, and the quarter, half, and full mile events. Even with the shortage of proper training facilities, the indoor contingent has done exceedingly well — always managing to defeat more than half their opponents. Finally, in the summer months, the track and field team represents the Orange and Brown against intra-scholastic competition. Adding such events as the javelin, discus, pole-vault, high jump, and shot-put to the regular assortment of running events, this sport is rapidly improving in spectator appeal. The essential requirements of combined grace, skill, and brute strength are drawing many fans who have a desire to see something different on the athletic field. No record of the sports program at Weequahic would be complete without mention of those dedicated boosters who contribute to enjoyment of athletics: cheerleaders, color guards, twirlers, flag bearers, and members of the band. Upon entering high school many a girl’s fancy turns to twirling or chccrleading. The display of talented twirlers or screaming cheerleaders at their first high school football game gives them the impression 79 that it is twirling or cheering for them or nothing. When the announcement of the start of cheering and twirling clubs reaches the homerooms, the vision of a twirler in uniform with a baton in her hand, or a cheerleader with a short skirt and a megaphone fills the minds of every hopeful twirler or cheerleader-to-be. The spot designated as the meeting place for these clubs rapidly fills up with freshman, as well as sophomores, juniors, and last minute seniors. Realizing that they just do not have the knack of it, many girls drop out after a few weeks, while others remain ever so enthusiastic. The day of tryouts arrives. Again some leave broken-hearted, while others remain with the feeling that their fondest dream has been fulfilled. Now the time has come for the new twirlers and cheerleaders to learn the makings of a good cheerleader or twirler. They begin to ask themselves certain questions. Is it worth getting up at 8:00 on Saturday morning for practice when I can sleep? When will I do my homework if I must go to practice four days a week after school? Is the cost of the uniform well worth the time and the elTort? Speaking to any former twirler or cheerleader, you will find that she feels that it was worth every minute of it. While these girls are getting ready for their first game, they will meet with the band at least once a week and on Saturday morning of the game. The members of the band and selections of music to be played at the games arc under the direction of Mr. Scocozza, who has always done a fine job, and has always made the school proud of the music department. At this time also, the color-guards and the flag bearers prepare for the football season. They work diligently, too. After several weeks of practice for the first game by all the enthusiastic participants, the day of the game arrives. As the spectators express their sympathy for the hard-working football players, do they ever give any notice to the twirlers, cheerleaders, the color-guards and the band who have put in a great deal of time and effort to make the game a success? 80 Robert W.
