ftosex (Eaatlf 1961-B2 This was the second year in the history of West Essex High School— the first year in our splendid castle.” On September 6, the Knights crossed the threshold into the school that w'as to become their world. They came—1,198 of them — from the kingdoms of Caldwell Township, Essex Fells, North Caldw'ell, and Roseland. The classrooms, the offices, and the library were, for the most part, completed when they entered. How- ever, there remained the last touches to finish in the cafeteria, the gyms, the auditorium, and the surrounding grounds. For the first months, West Essex students and faculty braved many inconveniences — and braved them well! West Essex High School, as it looked to students in September . . .on the outside 4 . . . and on the inside. Lunches were made at home and eaten in the classrooms. Gym classes were conducted out-of-doors. On rainy or. cold days the gym classes square danced in the cafeteria. No assembly orientation program could be conducted because there was no auditorium. Mud, mud, mud—it covered the parking lots and the courtyards and the playing fields. All football games were held away. We had no athletic fields of our own. The bells were unpredict- able, and at times the changing of classes was signalled by a whistle. But now, as this school year draws to a close, we can look back at all this and smile. Our castle stands complete.
