Amassed no worldly gain, Wrote no great book, revealed no hidden truth, Perchance he lived in vain. For there was grief within a thousand hearts The hour he ceased to live. - Charlotte Becker William Thomson Classmate-friend FOREWORD Summer is a-coming in Loud sing, cuckoo, Croweth seed and bloweth mead, And springeth the wood now, Sing cuckoo, cuckoo. Ewe bleateth after lamb, Loweth calf after cow, Bullock starteth. buck departeth, Merry sing, cuckoo, Cuckoo, cuckoo, Well singeth the cuckoo. Nor cease to sing now; Sing cuckoo, now, Sing cuckoo. Some Anglo-Saxon bard, wandering one bright morn over the budding countryside of merry England, poured forth from the fulness of his heart this simple, but eloquent, ballad about the coming of spring. First sung over one thousand years ago, this, the oldest English song, expresses the deep joy and satisfaction man has always derived from communion with Nature. And in all these years the poets have never tired of singing of the wonders of Nature and of the green and golden beauties of the land. Century after century man has continued to glorify the eternal wonder of the changing seasons, described so picturesquely by William Watson in this little verse: Spring, the low prelude of a lordlier song; Summer, a music without hint of death; Autumn, a cadence, lingeringly long; Winter, a pause;—the minstrel-year takes breath. Today, in this troubled age of overemphasized commercialism and mate- rialism. man is turning more and more to rural life and unspoiled Nature m his search for peace of mind and contentment of soul. He rejoices at the wonders of Nature and sings his praise of spring mornings, of summer days and sunsets, of lakes and rivers, of mountains and glens, of larks and squir- rels. of the sea that breaks along the coast, of bountiful harvests, of icy, wintry blasts and swirling blizzards. More and more he is learning that whatever else may fail him in this world, he can always turn to soothing Nature in his moments of despair for guidance, for comfort, and for renewed hope. It is for this reason, therefore, and for the fact that the seasons— autumn with its football games and camping trips, white winter with its skiing and its coasting, and fresh spring with its tennis and roller skating— play such an important part in our lives during the school year that we have chosen Nature as the theme of this 1936 “West-O-Ranger.” However, this annual has been compiled for a far more important reason than merely to pay homage to Mother Nature. The affectionate bonds and worthwhile associations that have been formed in our three busy, happy years at West Orange High School are about to be severed with gradua- tion: and as we strive for recognition and glory in a turbulent world of new interests, familiar faces and happy friendships may gradually become dim and fade. Therefore, in bidding a last farewell to West Orange High School, we have published this “1936 West-O-Ranger” as a permanent record of our class and its activities. In the pages which follow, we have made a conscien- tious effort not only to picture the events of our high school career but also to recapture the atmosphere of “those good old high school days” and to produce an annual that in years to come will awaken pleasant memories of a joyous, carefree youth. So, Co forth, little book! pursue thy way; Co forth, and please the gentle and the good. —Wordsworth. 8 —JERRY STAMLER THE DIVISIONS OF THE BOOK ADMINISTRATION CLASSES FEATURES ACTIVITIES SPORTS HUMOR ADVERTISEMENTS AUTUMN ▼ When autumn leaves are red and gold, And jack Frost with his touch of cold, Has turned the pumpkin on the vine. Then has arrived the happy time Of broiling steaks and roasting maize Through happy, carefree, camping days. Hiking at a rapid pace, With wind-blown hair and glowing face We sally forth on hill and dale Til twilight drops her silvery veil. We stop to build a roaring fire, And, watching it, our hearts soar higher To see the dancing flames, and wait For apples simmering on the grate. Then ’round the camp fire we stretch out To relate tales or sing a stout “Home on the Range” and “Prairie Moon,” Til taps are blown, and all too soon The embers die. Then starry lights Our sentinels are all through the night. —Shirley Smith 10 SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION Solomon C. Strong Frederick W. Reimherr Leslie F.

The foemen yield! A raucous shout from eager throats there swells; Drums beat, horns blow; the sound a victory fore- tells. On the struggle out before them rest all eyes. Oblivious to the brilliant autumn skies And trees aglow with color, vivid made By rays of sunset suddenly waylaid. The scent of burning leaves pervades the air. And dust clouds mark where men in scrimmage dare. Touchdown! The game is won, and all about Ring jeers and laughter, cheers and vigorous shout— Rah, rah, West Orange! Subconsciously the rooters sense the reason, The triumph and blithe spirit of the season, As wistfully they gaze on autumn flowers, Chrysanthemum remains of colored hours. —LUCIA PALMERE SENIOR OFFICERS Sophomore Year Dudley Cunningham Douglas Entwistle.

Some had come back to make up necessary credits for college; and others, to receive more train- ing in subjects which will fit them better for their work in the business world. Among the well-known graduates of last year's class, the following have entered college: Henry Clochessy—Columbia; Eileen Ospensen—Wellesley; Jean Persons—Skidmore; Eleanor Bixel, Barbara Brandt, and Marjorie Clark —Maryland College for Women; Vincent Domes—Lafayette; Frank Hatch —University of Illinois; Agnes McGuirk and Edward Kirsch—Pace Institute; Sally Fields—University of Syracuse; Margaret Ermold—Pratt Institute; Nor- man Jandoli—University of Notre Dame; Harry McDonough—Muhlenburg; Eleanor Paul—New Jersey College for Women; and Stuart Sanders—New York University. 74 FEATURES The Gift Wrapped in a tissue of snow, Bound with a ribbon of ski-tracks, A huge Christmas tree and a jolly group Are all that this great package lacks. And what does this beauteous gift Within its wrapping of white Hold as a welcome surprise? Why, spring, in loveliness dight. Oh to break open that ribbon, To gaze there inside and see The birds in their nests, and green leaves, And flowers by the sun set free. Oh, soon may that morning come When grasses will sprout from the clods! Those ski-tracks could be mine, But the Spring can only be Cod’s! —GERTRUDE E. JEFFRIES HISTORY, 1936 Toward the end of March, while the late snow still lingers in patches here and there, the earth suddenly becomes fused with a new energy. Nature smiles radiantly upon the whole countryside, and the gentle warmth of the early spring sunshine sends new life thrilling over hilly slopes and through deep valleys. Far and wide the eye is refreshed by strips of the most vivid velvety green. The bees, the returning birds, the hibernating animals, the budding trees—all awaken with new life. Swelled by melting snows, the little brooks and creeks course swiftly along, happy to be free from their ice-locked bondage. One is thrilled by the fresh, indescribable odors of spring—the perfume of blossoming nature and newly ploughed furrows. Even to the streets of the cities what a flutter! what bright looks! what gay colors! Each rustle in the air. each movement on the earth seems like a pulse of returning life in nature. Just as spring is the season of awakening life in nature, so is the first year at high school a time of vigorous growth, of the budding of new and nobler interests, and of the broadening of old ones into greater fields of endeavor. Like the first tender blades of grass cautiously sprouting on cold, breezy slopes, the members of the class of 1936, a multitude of confused, bewildered junior high school graduates, made their way timidly, even fear- fully. into the strange, hostile senior high school world. In spite of their inferior, outcast, plebeian state, the sophomores soon found a place for themselves, insignificant though it was. in the swing of school affairs. A few of them distinguished themselves on the gridiron and the basketball court. Later in the year others gained recognition of their oratorical powers in the annual class debate. Under the guidance of Miss Wrensch. the class was formally organized with Dudley Cunningham as its first president. For the most part, however, that robust young sapling, the class of 1936, spent an uneventful sophomore year, and this springtime of its existence slipped quietly by with the class accustoming itself to its new surroundings and dreaming of future greatness. Gradually, as the weeks roll by and the days lengthen, spring blossoms into summer. In the deep, cool woodland retreats or beneath the trees in the fields, dark, solid masses of cooling shade now protect one from the heat of the summer sun. The trees, fully clothed, have become sentient 75 beings. They stir with emotion; they converse together; they whisper or dream in the twilight; they struggle and wrestle with the storm. One notes with increasing regularity the halcyon days of summer—white, shining days with a bluish white, cloudless sky and a soft mist hanging over everything— days when the serenity of the elements is disturbed only by the droning of the bees, the quiet, contented lowing of the flocks, and the faint stir of the full-grown, nodding grain. Nature, now in full bloom, is lazy, contented, all leaf and sap. As summer is the season of blooming and ripening in nature, so is the second year at high school a time when those talents which have merely sprouted the year before begin to bear fruit. With its ranks swelled by addi- tional members from the junior high schools, the class of 1936 looked for- ward with fond hopes to the junior Year as a year of nobler deeds and greater achievements. In every school activity—in the assembly council, on the athletic field, in the various clubs, on the debate platform—the juniors soon became much more prominent. Several of their number gained renown for their outstanding success in scholastic pursuits. Socially, too. the class achieved great success. Prior to the Christmas vacation the juniors enjoyed a merry evening at the annual Junior-Senior Masquerade Dance. In February, the class of 1936 played host to the seniors with a grand “Prom.” How splendid our grown-up juniors looked as they danced to the rhythmic strains of a “tip-top” orchestra! At last they felt that they had “come into their own.” The summer of the class’s existence—the time of the ripening into the dignity of a senior—had finally borne fruit. With the first frosts that give a crisp pungency to the air comes the climax of all the seasons—autumn. One seems almost to be in an enchanted land of fable and romance. Living out of doors, in forest or field, seems to be the only natural life. This is the time of year when all men are incipient hunters, when to be abroad on the hills is a delight that both young and old fee). How rich in color are the roadsides with their profusion of yellow goldenrod and blue and purple asters, dashed in here and there with the crimson leaves of the sumac! What a feast for the eye are the maples, show- ing like giant bonfires along the hills! How splendid are the orchards, laden with golden, fully ripened fruit, and the waving fields of corn and wheat and pumpkin waiting to be harvested and gathered—the culmination and fruition of nature’s handiwork! Truly can seniordom be called the autumn of one’s high school career, for it is the time of the harvesting of the fruits of three years of effort. Now, indeed, were the wise, haughty, grandiose members of the class of 76 1936 masters of all they surveyed Everything—clubs, assemblies, athletics —were dominated by them. Soon after they had returned to high school, launched upon the last lap of their school careers, they, with a great deal of bustle, elected Alistair Semple as class president. A triumphant football season, at the end of which the undefeated varsity was awarded its second consecutive North Jersey Croup III championship, was followed by the annual senior dramatic production. Who can forget “Prunella” with its colorful costumes, its merry dances, its beautiful music, its artistic scenery, its rollicking comedy, and its wistful romance! Just as the harvesting of nature’s handiwork is often threatened by early autumn frosts, so the seniors came face to face with a potential Water loo. capable of frustrating the culmination of their high school careers even in this late autumn of their existence. No sooner had the seniors returned from Christmas vacations than they were confronted with the dread mid- term exams. However, after extensive cramming and fearful grimacing, most of the seniors managed to make their way successfully through these fearful inquisitions. Then came another knotty problem, ihe financing of the class annual. After much strenuous effort and heart-breaking dis- couragement, the necessary funds were finally scraped together. Once these obstacles had been hurdled, the year sped merrily on to a climactic close. Event followed event in rapid succession—the triumphant march toward the school’s first state basketball championship, the junior prom, senior debating, the publishing of the year book, the final exams, the joyous class day, the magnificent Farewell Dance—and graduation. How well had this autumn of our high school careers borne its fruits! At last the members of the class of 1936 had achieved the goal toward which they had for so long been striving. The day had finally come when, their hearts filled with cherished memories of carefree school days, they must bid West Orange High School a last— Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been—a sound which makes us linger;—yet—farewell! —Wordsworth —JERRY STAMLER 77 WHO'S WHO WHO'S WHO 1.

Long vistas of trees stretched before me like pillars of living green in a dim cathedral. A narrow, winding path, banked by feathery ferns, aroused in me the feeling of the adventurer who must seek out its source. A squirrel chattered busily as I passed beneath the branch where he was watching with bright-eyed interest. The jays squawked warningly at my approach, and a brown rabbit scurried into a protecting thicket. The little path wound on and on and finally led me to a mossy bank which tempted me to stretch myself luxuriously upon its soft down. Beside my resting place a noisy brook splashed along its way as if eager to leave the sheltered retreat for a glimpse of the outside world. A graceful weeping willow dipped its branches in the turbulent stream like a gentle lady attempting to stem the impetuousness of youth with her dainty hand In this quiet haunt I soon became so completely absorbed in reflection that I did not heed the passing of time until, glancing about me. I per- ceived that dusk had settled softly down upon the woodland. In vain I sought the friendly little path which I had followed so gleefully in the early afternoon but succeeded only in losing myself in the heart of the woods. By this time the black cloak of night had become spangled with stars, and the sky seemed a robe fit for a fairy princess. Indeed, the increasing brilliance of the moon added an ethereal radiance to the scene and thus created a setting appropriate for a revel of woodland sprites. Suddenly I stumbled on a grassy hollow, surrounded by tall trees, where all the luster of the moon seemed to be focused upon a small crystal lake which lay shim- mering in the center of the hollow like a silver disk upon which the moon- beams are dancing. 83 From the darkness floated a beautiful girl with strands of gleaming hair. This mystical figure, clad in gossamer threads of transluscent silk, approached, saying in a melodious, flute-like voice, “Have no fear. I am the protectress of the woodland creatures. When I saw you mend the broken leg of a poor goldfinch and free the chipmunk from the snare, I felt very kindly toward you. Thus, I who am endowed with great power will repay you for your kindness by disclosing to you secrets few mortals ever know. Only speak the word, and I shall reveal anything you desire to know.” For a moment she looked at me so intently that I felt as if she were reading my innermost thoughts; and perhaps she was, for she took my hand and led me to the pool. “You are troubled about the future.“ she said, “so I shall set your mind at rest.” As we gazed into the water, the surface rippled and gradually assumed shape and color, disclosing a banquet table at which I was making an address in honor of two most distinguished guests, namely. Paul Keitel and Reinhart Koch, who, it seemed, had done much to aid in the progress of the scientific investigation of the fourth dimension. Then very slowly this scene seemed to melt away only to reappear in a new shape. It was the opening night of the new play “Dear Beulah”; and I was sitting beside Charmion McGuirk, dramatic critic for the “Sun.” She was attempting to gain permission for an interview with the lovely young actress Jeanne Ford (formerly Jean Clark) ; but the publicity managers. Criese and Cunningham, were opposed to the idea. In the swirling waters I next beheld myself at a “bon voyage” party, given in honor of Jerry Stamler. author of the famous book “The Establish- ing of a United States of the World.” He apparently was embarking for Europe to confer with the Prime Minister of England on the weighty prob- lem discussed in his book. By means of the magic waters, I next seemed to be at a broadcasting studio where John Howell was giving the “Sparks of 84 the News in a brilliant, talented style. Here during the following program I sat entranced as I listened to the soft, liquid tones of the radio fans’ favor- ite Irish tenor, James Maguire. The lake appeared to be bottomless; for as I continued to gaze into its depth, the picture receded and still another took its place. I found myself transplanted to the lot of the Bartlett Motion Picture Company in Hollywood on which a new cinema was nearing completion. Although Mollie Mecke and Jane Ramsden were looking rather fatigued after a long day’s rehearsal, they welcomed me cheerfully as I complimented them on their screen successes. When I expressed admiration for the striking ensembles of the stars I had seen. Jane said that all of filmland’s beauties owed their glamorous appear- ance to Gowns by Shirley. This tribute to Shirley Smith was the natural result. I felt, of her exquisite taste and acute sense for color. With amazing rapidity the waters next whirled me to Geneva where the League of Nations was discussing the possibilities of a plan for the na- tion’s peace, a plan submitted by the distinguished diplomat Ray Johnson Then very suddenly was I whisked to a large concert hall where I heard the Francis All-Girl Orchestra playing delicate musical selections, composed by Doris Frieman. As the haunting melodies flooded the room. I espied Eileen Terwilliger and Edith Anderson among the talented performers. This scene had barely faded when I found myself among a group of people who were unusually quiet, so great was their attention to the words of the twinkling- eyed lecturer Mr. Alistair Semple, who was just completing an amusing ac- count of the way he had won the Scotch Golfing Championship. The following picture in the waters revealed me standing before the portrait of a charming young woman in an art gallery. A gentleman near-by informed me that Gene Tepper had painted the picture of Mervine Raphel Longworth at the request of her husband, a wealthy New York banker. Further down the hall the exquisite blend of soft shades in a water color by 85 Lorraine Friedburger and a landscape in oil by Lucia Palmere attracted my attention. Then these images too disappeared from the lake; and I found myself in an immense stadium. Here Rickey Hammer, the best sports announcer on the air, was reviewing one of the most important football games of the sea- son, the game between Cleeland and Williams Colleges. Then I seemed to be attending a dinner given for Hazel Zweibel, director of an excellent school of voice culture, and was surprised to find that entertainment was presented by the Harold Bouton School of Dancing. The featured dancer was Audrey Taylor, and the feats which her twinkling toes accomplished delighted the audience. The last scene in the crystal-like mirror of the future fairly took my breath away, for I had become the director of a finishing school for girls in New England. The swaying shapes lingered for a brief moment and then dissolved. I turned to thank the gracious goddess who had conferred such a great honor on me; but I saw only a flash of white and a last sparkle of her glistening hair as she faded into the silvery mist, hanging over the trees. If possible, the pool lay shimmering more brightly than before, and the night had an added lustre; for my heart was so brimming full with happy thoughts that the whole atmosphere seemed to glow with light. I looked to the heavens where the stars beamed with a kindly ray and felt the gratifi- cation of a poor mortal to whom the gods had permitted a glimpse of the mystical. So for a short time the fates had unrolled for me the scroll of fu- ture life; and I have recounted my observations to you, deeming it unfair to clutch this gift in my selfish grasp without allowing anyone to share it. —EDITHANNE WILLIAMSON 86 THE HONOR ROLL The Senior Class of 1936 should be very proud of the fact that it has 35 peo- pie on the Honor Roll for three and one-half years’ completed work in high school.

I turned from my apathetic contempla- tion of the shrouded world without and glanced questioningly at the eminent physician who had begun to pack his instruments, he having finished an examination of the strangely ailing Mr. Class of ’36. His somber look told me all; as he passed me on his way out he shrugged his shoulders and said softly, “I am afraid summer will find him gone.” I heard the door close and the doctor’s retreating footsteps. A moment later, I was in his lately vacated chair by my friend’s bed- side. How pale he looked! how worn with worry and fatigue! Dear fellow. I thought, he always has overworked himself, sparing no effort and never being satisfied. The lamp above his head shivered metallically at the impact of a hard-driven gust of snow on the wall. Mr. Class of ’36 stirred and opened his eyes. He smiled weakly on seeing me and stretched out a thin hand. I clasped its cool transparency in my own brown fist, and, noticing that he was wistfully surveying our locked fingers, hated mine for being so obviously vigorous that comparison was inevitable. He sighed deeply and, still smiling, said in a low, feeble voice which tore at my heart—so little was it like his lusty shouts of only a month ago— “Dear friend. I know my days are numbered, and my heart is heavy at the thought of leaving this earth; but what must be, must be. Therefore, let me instruct you as to my wishes for the disposal of my property.” These solemn, lugubrious words awakened me suddenly to the realiza- tion of how far my friend had advanced in wisdom since his selfish, flighty thoughts of 1934. It was with fumbling fingers that I finally procured my- self a pencil and. with misty eyes, that I began to write: I bequeath to the Class of ’37 a senior year as gloriously happy and as full of fun as my own. To next year’s football team and the new coach, I proudly leave an unblemished record and a second consecutive state championship, hoping they’ll make it a third. I give to Miss Hilson my sincere thanks for her assistance in the editing of our Yearbook. Betty Mayes deposits to the credit of Mickey MacCeorge a bit of her sweet disposition. Robert Bauerle leaves his mincing tread, sprinkled with perfume, to the burly Mr. McDonough. 90 jimmie Maguire bequeaths his fine tenor voice to Fred Brown who can —and will—sing, if coaxed enough. Milton Jackson leaves his popularity with Miss Allen to Gwyneth Grif- fin, who is going to take the fatal step next year and study French III. Carol Fiers leaves her intimate acquaintanceship with the members of the football squad to any Junior having a desire to climb socially. Mollie Mecke turns over a slice of her ability to enjoy life to Evelyn Stoddart. Edithanne Williamson leaves her platform poise to Eleanor Anne Gillett. Jane Ramsden leaves her way with the stronger sex to Doris Zenk, who is also plump; but is lacking in other departments, perhaps. Sol Chavkin magnanimously leaves his hee-haw laugh to George Potter, who. I hear, is no “Silent Sam” himself. Patsy Christiano sends his quiet, courteous way to the bluff and hearty Madge Green by registered mail to be sure she gets it. The departing cheerleaders leave their pep and verve (do I sense irony here?) to the rest of the outfit, Lewis and Leadbeater. The towering Mr. Gus Johnson leaves a bit of his height to the diminu- tive Walter Layton. To Gloria Nardiello, I present Jean Clark’s ability to recite poetry. Burr Mead leaves his blank, complacent air to the obnoxiously obvious Dick Perry. Tommy Potter leaves his wit and originality to Harry Saynor, who is sadly in need of it, I fear. To Miss McCloskey, I give the hope for a peaceful lunch period—her tormentors having been graduated. Hazel Zweibel leaves her tangoes and Mexican “depths” to “Passion Lil” Scudder. Ed Smuda. the two-letter man, leaves his well-earned laurels to Jack Hannon. (I’ve heard him referred to by some girls as the “Greek God, so I guess laurels are rather his forte.) Jerry Stamler bequeaths his ability to let the women alone to Bill Chris- tie, who succumbs rather easily, I fear. To Adelaide Heaton, Millie Dalton leaves some of her warm friendliness. Dougie Entwistle hands a selected portion of sanity, devoid of all forms of ostentation, to Chet Forsythe. 91 Tacie Cruthers delivers to the Flaster residence a large supply of juicy steaks to appease the hunger of Monroe’s Thursday night guests. With unusual generosity, Eileen Terwilliger turns over her hold on the Keitels to any girl who is active enough to play the middle against two ends. To Ray Peterson, who shows some romantic tendencies. Mark Hal lam bequeaths his recipe for success. Bob Cleeland and the Gilbert Twins unite in presenting their combined chinlines to Fred Cooke so he won’t get hit so hard. To the Wiener-Witten combination, the Dunham-Williams partnership leaves its indissolubility. To janet Morlet, Jean Nolan leaves her locks, in case Otto tires of blondes. To the Ballingers, noted for their wearing apparel, Ricky Hammer leaves his apparently inexhaustible supply of sweaters. To “Piff” Sektberg, “Powerhouse” Pollack leaves the center position on the basketball team. The accomplished Mr. “Murph” Tahaney leaves the fullback position to Lou Falcone and his intricate dancing steps to Alfie Sahrbeck. (Oh, give me a football that I may have fame!) Al Harper leaves his “love 'em and leave ’em’’ technique to Jimmie Atria, whose faithfulness is assuming the proportions of a myth. Eddie Fallon leaves his glistening fish-store smock to Bud Savale, in case he finds himself in the Chem Lab next year. Sam Falcone leaves his tick-tack-toe games to Rocco Sarcone. It may be that then he’ll remain quietly occupied with his own affairs. Gus Johnson leaves his gay grin to Virginia Harrison, who’s been in an impurvium shell long enough. Joe Wannemacher passes along to Anita Schwitters his calm spirit and deliberate manner. A spasm of hollow coughing caught my friend; and his head fell back, his hand slipping from my grasp. After a moment he lay quite still. I tiptoed noiselessly to the door, shut it softly after me as I left, and moved into the library across the hall. Here I sat, lost in memories, watch- ing a red candle burn dimly until it guttered out—into darkness. —TACIE CRUTHERS 92 i i ii y Winter O’er the earth once green and brown, A coverlet of eiderdown, Drawn up tight beneath her chin Keeping out the chill north wind As ends the dreary winter night The sun is called to reveille, And rising high above the white, Greets the world with wan, pale light. Anon the children wake with glee, The sparkling snow outside to see Spread out before their dancing eyes; And uttering delighted cries, They pull with eagerness from sheds, Their shining skis and sharpened sleds, To be the very first to slide Down the snowy mountainside. They race to choose the champion sleigh Or fly through space on glinting ski.

In addition to these regular meetings, once a year each society presents a program in assembly for the benefit of the entire student body. Every one in school is aware of the friendly rivalry that exists between Clio and Philo. Contests at the meetings, assembly programs, and scholastic standings offer a means of competition. At the Spring Banquet given each year, after the new members have been initiated and the new officers intro- duced. Mr. Reimherr presents the silver loving cup to the society having attained the higher scholastic average. For four consecutive years Clio has been the proud possessor of this trophy and is determined to make it a per- manent possession. In order to maintain a good scholastic standard in the societies, the club excludes, for the following marking period, any member whose marks fall below the 75 per cent average required for eligibility to election. The high aims of Clio make it one of the successful clubs in school, and it is hoped that it will continue to be as successful and as popular as it has been in the past. 94 fPhilologtan jLiterary (Society President ......

Facts heretofore unknown were revealed about the manufacturing and distribution of foods. Another of the outstanding programs was devoted to the daring exploits of Colonel Law- rence of Arabia. At a later meeting the members participated wholeheart- edly in an old-fashioned spelling bee.

MISS ALLEN and MISS SIBLEY This year the French Club has enjoyed many interesting and profitable meetings under the sponsorship of Miss Allen and Miss Sibley. For the most part the meetings are conducted in French, although it is entirely permis- sible for one to lapse into English for a word or two when the proper French word has been forgotten. All French students are welcomed to French Club, but French I students must have an average of 85 per cent; for only good sophomore French students are able to understand what is said. At the first meeting of the year the new members were initiated with many good laughs at their expense. Several members presented a one-act play at the Christmas meeting; and of course, this meeting was not ended until a few traditional French Christmas carols had been sung. The French Club enables the students to put into practice the knowledge learned in the class room through conversing in French. 96 CD er cleatsc he U vlub . President .................... PAUL KEITEL Secretary MARTHA MUELLER Vice-President ............ JERRY STAMLER Treasurer VERA NEUMAN Under the able guidance of our Cerman-born president, Paul Keitel, the German Club experienced a very profitable and entertaining year. The usual motion was made, at the first meeting of the year, that we join the Interscholastic Federation of German Clubs. The annual arguments followed. We join every year. We don't get anything out of it. How- ever, in spite of these routine arguments we joined the Federation. At the November meeting the seniors presented a very amusing farce by Hans Sachs, the well-known Meister-singer and shoemaker. It seems they have punsters even in Germany. At a subsequent meeting the juniors, not to be outdone, presented a comedy called The Button. The high point of dramatic achievement was reached with the two performances of Uebung Macht den Meister, depicting Herr Melvin’s troubles with his two daugh- ters and their troubles with the German language. One performance was enacted before the P T. A.; the other, before the students in assembly. But we couldn’t allow our increased interest in play-acting to cause us to neglect our Leider singing, famous throughout the school. Several meet- ings were devoted entirely to songs. Among the favorites was Die Gedan- ken sind Frei. This song was always an indisputable proof of the lusty lungs of the German Club. Then came the sad tale of the young man who never could get what he wanted— Hola-hi-aho! We will never forget the ten- der, gentle rendition of Du, Du! The most novel event of the year was the trip to the great German liner nr H Europa. The meetings were adjourned after a full year of activity. 97 (Spanish Club President ........

MISS LOUISE HARLE Under Miss Harle's inspiring guidance, the Spanish Club has had this year a more than successful year. The regular Tuesday morning club meet- ings have been devoted to an interesting study of the cities of Mexico as well as of Spanish music, literature, and art. Most interesting and entertaining was the club s assembly program. “La Primera Disputa,” a Spanish comedy, was cleverly enacted for us, Spanish songs and dances were skilfully performed, and a portrayal of the types found in Mexico proved most informing. Miss Harle’s talks of her many experiences in Mexico have also developed interest and enthusiasm among the members of the club and have aided in making the year's work a success. 98 cS et ait Club • • President ....................

Its purpose is to increase the spirit of good comradeship among the girls, to increase their opportunities for service, and to help them choose and prepare for their vocations in life. This year, the activities of the club were not started until after the Christmas holidays because of the absence of Mrs. Farr. In the loss cf her, both as counselor and as friend, the girls express their deep sorrow. The first social affair of the year was the Welcome Party, held after school for the new upper class girls. Following the custom of previous years, the Setuits presented several assembly programs. The first was the tradi- tional candle lighting initiation for sophomores, new juniors, and new seniors. Through the cooperation of Miss Benson, the club presented a “Gcod Grooming and Appropriate Dress” program. In connection with the vocational interests of the club, a talk by a personnel director was presented in a third program. This talk was followed by a series of vocational confer- ences held after school. A questionnaire, composed by a club committee, revealed the types of works in which the girls of the school are interested. Successful workers in these types of positions were invited to talk with the girls, informing them of requirements and opportunities. The closing activity of the Setuit Club was the successful Mother and Daughter Banquet to which each girl had the honor of accompanying her mother. 99 a sembly Council President ...................

This group of students, under the supervision of Miss Bliss, has worked enthusiastically to present interesting assembly programs to the school body. Among the speakers the council has been so fortunate as to acquire this year are: Mr. H. K. Tootle, personnel director of the New York Times, who spoke on “The Making of a Great Newspaper”; Mr. Warmeling, assistant rector of Grace Church, Orange, who addressed us at the Christmas assem- bly; Mr. Trimble, liquid air demonstrator; Captain Frank O’Neil, chief of Newark police, who by means of moving pictures, demonstrated the activ- ities of the Police Emergency Division of the Department of Public Safety; and Dr. Frank Kingdon, president of the University of Newark. In addition to these speakers, we have had interesting club programs, orchestral demon- strations. debates, and very enjoyable group singing. The assemblies as a whole have been exceptionally inspiring and cultural this year. 100 76 IJ • • • • • • • President ..... ROBERT CUNNINGHAM Vice-President ......

The boys meet every Wednesday after- noon. and after the business meeting they enjoy a swim in the “Y” pool. The club slogan is “Clean Speech. Clean Thoughts, and Clean Athletics.” The Hi-Y Club has sponsored several social dances in the afternooons and held one swim-dance at the Y. M. C. A. January 10, 1936. These dances were all thoroughly enjoyed by the many students who attended them. The Woodland Club Orchestra has played for all of the Hi-Y Club’s social activities. This year the Hi-Y Club sent four members to the annual Hi-Y conven- tion which was held in New Brunswick in December. The representatives were Paul Schlegel, Thomas Tordel. Charles Gaskell, and Norman Ravens bourg. 101 CCrmistice CD a u CP ay u t'ocjram The Armistice Day program was presented this year under the direction of Miss Grace Moses. At the sounding of taps by Walter Merwin the very impressive ceremony was opened. First, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts told about their aid to the com- munity. Next the graduate nurse and the visiting nurse related their con- tributions. Representatives of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., and the Community Chest spoke concerning their activities. A brief outline of the care given children in the Day Nursery was presented by those who repre- sented the Day Nursery. Then Miss Moses contributed, as her share in the program, a short play, which portrayed the kindly, neighborly feeling which should be the aim of all citizens in any community. The program was then solemnly closed with the reading of the names of the boys of West Orange who died for their country in the World War. The people who took part in the program were: Boy Scouts—Walter Merwin and Arthur Pederson: Girl Scouts—Edith Goeckel, Evelyn Stoddart, and janet Clayton; Nurses—Joyce Doty and Hazel Tunstead; Y. M. C. A.— Hans Keitel: Y. W. C. A.—Jane Bauer and Mildred Dalton; Community Chest—Alice Bayowski and Helen Benardoch; Day Nursery—Helen Hawry- lak. Rose Freda, and Helen Blank. 102 JJebating................................. The extra-curricular activity that requires the most hard work, as well as ability, is undoubtedly debating. The debaters and coaches select topics of current interest and then do extensive research work for many weeks to prepare for final argument. This worthwhile and cultural activity does much to liven the interest of the students in state, national, and international problems. The Junior Class deserves credit for being the first class to present its debate. Their subject was: Resolved, that capital punishment should be abolished. The winning negative side, coached by Miss Breisch, was made up of Barbara Stauffer, Dorothy Boschen, Norma Cohen, and Robert Witten; and the affirmative, directed by Miss McCloskey, was composed by Gwyneth Griffin, Cynthia Laidlaw, Jane Wibralski, and Richard Wiener. Robert Wit- ten received two votes as best speaker. Early this spring the Senior Class debated the subject: Resolved, that the several states should enact legisla- tion providing for a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at public expense. Both teams presented excellent arguments and deserve equal credit. Mr. Thomas coached the affirmative side, comprised of Carol Fiers, Jerry Stamler, Hazel Tunstead. and Jane Ramsden. The negative side, composed of Nancy Kingman, Eileen Terwilliger, Joyce Doty, and Ray John- son, was directed by Mr. Smith. Again debating has played an important and interesting part in our school activities. 103 cfCigh School Qrchestra Violin Edward Andersen Robert Brady Cunhild Englund Harriet Francis Charles Caskell Madge Greene Thomas Keeton Mary Jane Kehoe Ernst Keitel John Kessler Viola Maas Hugo Mast Jeanette Sektberg John Slack Paul Schlegel Betty Smith Robert Stoltz Eileen Terwilliger Jane Wiberalski Richard Wiener Warren Wells Robert Witten Viola Robert Ballenger Frank Grom Raymond Kido Trombone Robert Banks Burr Mead French Horn Robert Barnes Milton Franklin Donald Simpson Saxophone Jack Ballenger Clarinet Harry Braun Dorothy Dorer William Harris Leonard Marks Walter Mueller Audry Pohlman Robert Schlagintweit Flute Carl Bethel Joseph Freiman Doris Heick Cynthia Laidlaw Oboe Hans Keitel Jean Latimore Bassoon Adelaide Heaton Lillian Cspenson Harold Tinquist 'Cello Russell Bruhn Jean Butterfield Doris Freiman Kay Iden Bass Violin Edith Anderson Jane Bauer Russell Thompson First Trumpet Helen Blank Walter Merwin William Rinehart Jean Roberts Second Trumpet Ross Borlase Gwyneth Griffin Ernest Lacroix Thomas McHugh Betty Mueller Bruce Robinson James Stephen Jack Williams Robert Hofstead Joseph Stock Percussion Richard Gallagher Walter Layton Charles Robertshaw Piano Dorothy Bauer E'eanor Gillett Jeanette Kelly Olive Koch Muriel Hooley Librarians Catherine Catalans Ellen Griffin Mary Griffen Managers James Atria Mario Donofrio William Hackett Jack Hannon Jack Heslin Philip Lannon Matthew O’Connell Norman Revere 104 ckCigh (Sch ool {Band Director..MR.

Hark to the call of all your mates In the sunshine bright and clear; Full of laughter, full of fun; Rolling and reeling, new joys are won, As, in their hearts, a merry song, On roller skates they go swaying along. —EDNA BEAN mm After plunging through a season of six v'ctories and three ties and scoring 69 points to their opponents' 12 (scored in the East Orange game), the mighty West Orange eleven again captured the title of North jersey Croup III Champions for 1935. The season started off with a decisive victory over the Millburn team, with the points reaching 13 before Coach Evans inserted the Junior Varsity, which further throttled the attack of the Millburn Blue. Although this was the first game of the season, the line showed superb power; and the back- field ripped and plunged for many substantial gains. The following week. Paterson Central High, a new opponent, journeyed to West Orange and took an unexpected whipping, the final score being 7-0. The game was a very bruising affair, but both teams played a sportsman’s game and suffered no injuries. Traveling to East Orange for their third game, the Mountaineers met such unexpected opposition that only by a touchdown in the last period was West Orange saved from defeat. The team showed much power, but they were kept under control by a fine passing attack on the part of East Orange. The game finished with a 12-12 score, both teams having displayed equal offensive strength. Smarting under that 12-12 tie, the Mountaineers trounced Summit on the following Saturday and took home a 20-0 victory, a balm which soothed the team and the student body. Ill For their second inter-Oranges game, West Orange traveled to Orange and again encountered a stiff, determined opposition. This tussle ended in a scoreless tie. The field was very muddy, and the spirit of the game was damaged by intense anxiety on the part of both teams. The Red and White threatened to score several times but lacked the pounding drive to push the ball across the last white stripe. The West Orange-Westfield game will always be remembered for the fine spirit and the good sportsmanship which are always displayed at this annual contest. Westfield played a sterling game, but they were subdued by a 13-0 score. The Mountaineers next journeyed to Montclair and. upsetting all pre- game predictions, trounced the powerful Montclair eleven by virtue of a second-period safety. The forward wall gave the backfield a rest and went to work to do the scoring. After pushing over the safety, the Mountaineers went back on their heels to construct a faultless, impregnable defense that turned back the Montclair onslaughts time and again. Perhaps our Guardian Saint, whoever he may be, was watching over the boys of the Red and White when they again scraped out a 2-0 victory. This time Belleville was on the short end of a very short score. The score might possibly have been larger, but the 2-0 victory was a cause for extreme hap- piness. Facing their third and last inter-Oranges game, this one being with Columbia High School in the annual Turkey Day classic. West Orange was forced to be contented with a third tie score. The teams were ham- pered by a muddy field. The squad managed to reach the one-yard line but again failed to smash through to a win. Those on the team playing their last game for West Orange were: Captain Carmeli. Ruzza, Dockery. Smuda. Kearney. Ober, and Sullivan. These boys received gold footballs at the ban- quet. Varsity letters and sweaters were awarded to Captain Carmeli. Dock- ery, McDonough. Ruzza, Jagel. Ober, Hannon, Sullivan, Brown. Falcone. Tahaney, Kearney. Smuda. Houlihan, Panek. Atria, and Managers Peters and Dockery. By virtue of their outstanding play. Captain Carmeli, Kearney. Dockery, and Ruzza were named on the 1936 mythical all-Oranges team. At the close of the season the entire town was disappointed to learn of Coach Haydn Evans’ resignation from the position as football mentor of West Orange High School. He has been the coach for nine years and has produced winning teams since he has been at West Orange. Through the fine work of Mr. Evans many communities whose teams have played West Orange have caught the high spirit and regard for sportsmanship which the team has displayed at all times.

Starting the season with a nucleus of veterans from last year’s squad. Coach Rankin molded a team that triumphed in nine out of fifteen scheduled games, a record good enough to warrant an invitation to compete in the annual state tournament. Playing superlative, inspired basketball, the West Orange cowboys then swept victoriously through five consecutive games to capture the diadem emblematic of the supremacy of West Orange over the Croup III High Schools of New jersey. A beautiful trophy was presented to the school by the New jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, and individual trophies were awarded to the varsity men. The five men who were highly instrumental in bringing the state crown to West Orange were Captain Ed Smuda. jim Maguire. Ray Slapp. Sal Blu- mette, and Jack Hannon. In Captain Ed Smuda West Orange had one of the ablest leaders in the state. Always calm and cool under fire, he steadied the team in the most tense, crucial situations. His deadly, long-range shooting, his brilliant floor f game, and his sterling defensive play combined to make him an indispensable cog in the West Orange basketball machine. At the other guard position was the diminutive, fighting red-head, jimmy Maguire. Assigned each game to the task of guarding the opposing team’s star forward, he earned for him- self the title of the best defensive player in the Oranges by his superla- tive work. There are no adjectives adequate enough to describe Ray Slapp. West Orange’s rangy all-state center. He was the team’s leading scorer and played a major part in the team’s defense. Ray controlled the tap in nearly all the games, and his deadly pivot shot struck terror into the hearts of opposing centers. His excellent play during the entire season won him acclaim as the greatest center ever developed in the Oranges. 113 At the forwards, West Orange had two scintillating six-footers. Tall, rangy Jack Hannon was an invaluable player under both baskets. An unerr- ing shot from all angles, he was a consistent scorer. Jack was especially effective during the state tournament when his sharpshooting contributed no little to West Orange’s triumph. Sal Blumette, Hannon’s running mate at forward, has perhaps never received the full credit due him. Primarily a team player, he bore the entire brunt of the blocking and was the pivot man in all the scoring plays. Dangerous under the basket, the Hawk was a consistent scorer; and his rugged defensive play was also outstanding. While the above-mentioned quintet played as a unit during the major portion of the season, much of the credit for winning the state title must be given to the capable players Coach Rankin had in reserve. Especially brilliant was the work of Doug Entwistle, who slipped into the shoes of Jack Hannon or Sal Blumette when either was confined to his bed with grippe. He more than held his own with his more experienced teammates and, because of his exceptional play, was dubbed the best reserve in the Oranges. His sharpshooting in the first three tournament games was a large factor in the progress of West Orange to the finals. Ray Slapp was chosen all-Oranges center for the second year in a row, and Jimmy Maguire won a guard berth on the mythical team. Slapp was also named the outstanding Croup III center in the state. The remaining mem- bers of the first-string quintet were all mentioned for all-Oranges and all- state honors. The final victory over Millville in the state tournament marked the end of the playing careers of Captain Ed Smuda, Ray Slapp, Jim Maguire, Doug Entwistle, and Bill Hinrichs. Needless to say. these men will be sorely missed in 1937. However, along with Hannon and Blumette. the two remaining veterans, there will be several capable boys who played as reserves this season. Foremost among them are Otto Conova. Bill Hackett, Charles Flynn, and Howard Smith. The members of the 1936 basketball team to receive first team letters and individual tournament trophies were Captain Smuda. Maguire, Slapp, Hannon, Blumette, Entwistle. Conova. Flynn. Hackett, Hinrichs, and Man- ager Rosen. Junior varsity letters were awarded to Captain O’Reilly, Mig- none. Smith, Lucciola, Schanks, Watson. Ceevey, and to Managers McDon ough, Potter, and Perry (manager for 1937).

After losing a hard- fought 7-6 contest to Columbia, the Maroon and White seconds proceeded to triumph in six consecutive encounters, while keeping their goal lines uncrossed. After inflicting a severe defeat on the heavier Orange team, the Junior Varsity did yeoman-1 ike work in turning back the East Orange jayvees by a 7-0 margin. The Mountaineers then turned on the power to trounce a fight- ing Millburn team by the decisive score of 26-0. Engaging with Irvington in the next to the last contest of the season, the Mountaineers rose to magnificent heights to gain a 7-0 victory over the powerful Blue and White. In the finals, Summit proved to be such an easy victim that, after a substantial lead had been piled up, the jayvees gave way to the third string men. This scoring jamboree ended with the West Orange lads on the long end of a 36-0 count. By closing the season with this impres- sive victory, the Maroon and White Junior Varsity earned an enviable rec- ord for itself and gave promise of a highly successful varsity team for 1937.

Any boy who likes acrobatics should certainly join the tumbling team and become as proficient as the rest of the team in doing stunts. 117 of he Cheerleadi ers • • • • • During the football and basketball seasons, the fighting spirit of both players and watchers never once waned; for under the enthusiastic leader- ship of Henry Tordel we were led in many good rousing cheers. The squad will lose the following four of its members this year because of their being graduated: Henry Tordel. Stewart Smith, Dudley Cunningham, and Gilbert Criese. However, Fred Cooke, Russell Lewis, and Alfred Lead- beater will be left to carry on next year. Cheer-leading is one of the finest activities in school and most important for success in our school sports. Come on, Red; come on, White; Come on. Team; fight, fight, fight. 118 SPRING SONG The glorious season of Spring is near. After months of sleet and snow, And soon we’ll see the birds again And all the things that grow. I wait for Spring most anxiously, For many, many reasons, Enjoying more the sports of Spring Than those of other seasons. I never tire of a tennis match; I play with ail my might. And I could roller-skate all day And not be tired at night. 'So forgive me when I shout and sing In ecstasy for coming Spring. —GEORGE GRIMM 119 THE CALL OF THE WOODS I must get out where the skies are blue and the air is clean and the rest is sweet, Out where there’s never a task to do or a goal to reach or a foe to meet. O, I’ve heard the call of the tall, white pine and the soothing murmur of the alluring brook; I'm tired of the tasks that each day are mine, I’m weary of reading a printed book. —MARIE PRAITANO 120 HUMOR 1 Tennis Up comes the sun as one red ball, And birds begin their morning call. The flowers sparkling through drops of dew Bid blossoming trees a “how do you do. ' The bleak gray skies have far been chased To some remote and dreary place; And in their stead are skies of blue That beckon to the courts anew, Where boys and girls their rackets swing With all the vigor born of spring. —EDNA BEAN «fWtHH WWW HEROES ? ? ? ?

Three sixteen to one o' one. In assembly, laughing and talking too Is hushed by a familiar knell. But, Mr. Reimherr, what did you do When Eddie stole the bell? Like some weird dragon of story book fame Mamie Bedell holds sway O’er volumes rare in her domain. Where she warns all failures away. Cursed be he that dares too touch The forbidden window blind, For Miss Bedell makes such a fuss Her rules we must surely mind. In biology class the girls oft squirm. And Terwilliger scornfully sneers As many an insect meets its doom ’Neath his biological spears; And from this welter of blood and gore And the professor’s witty puns. We learn the facts of plants and spore. Of worms and dirt and duns. At lunch time all the lads engage In many a lively doing— Singing the song that’s all the rage Or at Miss McCloskey hallooing. In nature only the fittest survive; Tis true also at luncheon. For Rickey and Gil with destructive dive Leave little for others to munch on. 124 Bright girls in white before our eye O’er steaming vessels tower And make fine foods we can not buy, For this is the cooking hour. First from Miss Youmans comes advice On how to prepare each thing, Till finally all looks so nice That the dinner is fit for a king. Oh, remember the night when bold Pierrot Stole into that sheltered nook! From there the dev’lish mummer band His shy Prunella took. Twas Jimmy’s song that wooed the maid Who after years of sorrow Wished that from home she ne’er had strayed— But happily ended the morrow. Haunting music floods the gym Where ruffled dresses swirl; The girls are fair, the boys quite trim As gaily the dance they whirl. The spotlight’s beam searches the room To find only smiling faces, For at “Farewell” there is no gloom— Joy supreme the festival graces. Rows of seniors all in white Can have but one true meaning. At last ‘tis graduation night, And our eyes with tears are gleaming; For no longer will we be sheltered well From the cold world and cruel, So sadly we bid a fond farewell To the protecting walls of school. 125 —EDITHANNE WILLIAMSON A SENIOR'S DESCRIPTION OF HIGH SCHOOL 1933- 1934 Anticipation, Mystification, Gradual clarification By exploration; Adaptation, Great expectation Of future glorification. Ambitious determination Hard occupation; Then exasperation At bare pass-ification. Summer vacation With time for recreation. 1934- 1935 Resignation At return to education; Soon perturbation And consternation With the approach of examination; Hasty preparation In desperation. Personal gratification Upon pass-ification; Then jubilation For once more vacation. 1935- 1936 Senior sophistication. Foolish flirtation. Youthful infatuation; Then modification After humiliation From Reimherr’s condemnation In weighty consultation. Then no more deviation From studious concentration For duration Of high school education For fear of frustration Of graduation. At last realization Of emancipation And blessed salvation Through sweet graduation. Farewell celebration Then recommendation Of qualification For future vocation. Thus ends this versification. 126 —JERRY STAMLER HEADLINES OF 1936 ALISTAIR SEMPLE SENT TO PENITENTIARY to visit warden. MR. REIMHERR STATES SENIORS do not WORK but play hooky VERY WELL.

Oct. 29—Panek and Tahaney buy their Hallowe’en false faces, hoping to find someone to frighten. Nov. 12—A real red letter occasion! Most of the boys have had those white woolly sweaters washed. Nov. 21—Tacie falls down for the first time this year. Nothing broken. Dec. 13—Riccy Hammer’s jinx takes a holiday; Riccy spends an entire Friday-the-thirteenth without a detention. ]an. 15—Ruth Dowd wears those gorgeous high boots, and every girl in school is green with envy. jan. 18—McKinstry carefully clutches that brief case in the hall.

Feb. 27—Muzzy finds a lotion which keeps his hair down, but he won’t share his secret. March 11—Miss Weissenborn has nothing to say to her English classes. March 25—Frank is seen without his Beatrice. The entire school holds its breath. April 1—Mr. Reimherr forgets to forget his keys! Perhaps it is an April fool. April 10—Tommy Potter has completed his masterpiece in blank verse. May 18—Home room 203 gets out on time at 2:30. May 27—Mr. Evans spends a first period not talking to Mrs. Hamlen. June 8—Mr. Weston tears his curls as his classes begin their sociology projects. (They aren’t due until the 12th). June 11—Will the class treasurer be able to take care of the great flow of cash? Every senior wants the Hudson trip. —DOROTHY HERBERT 129 A ▼ WHAT A LIFE! To first period English Class we go So January next our “Macbeth” we ll know, Where Til lie croons of witches three. Stirring the direful mixture with glee. With fear and trembling in each heart. We behold the scowl, most evil, dark, Of Taylor, whose deep, wrinkled brow Tells us we’ll flunk his test—and how! To French Class then ourselves we present— Oh, is our ill luck never spent? To speak our French we try in vain; Vocabulary minus once again. The lunch bell rings, but we sit quiet; By one short word Kay quells a riot. Indeed, we stay to await her pleasure While one lone sinner gives the tariff measure. To lunch room next does go our gang Where all the boys one memorable day sang; “The Music Went Round” Miss McClosky to thrill— But detentions twenty went to Dud and Gil. Freedom over, anxious then we creep Up two long stairs, smart Jerry to seek, Hoping him to catch before it’s too late. Or zero translation will be our Latin fate. Into girls' study one lone boy once strayed, But he is a bold lad, never afraid. What mattered twelve more than the usual three? I’ll whisper the secret—his name is Richey. At last the long hours draw to a close. Awaiting the bulletin, the homeroom does doze. While Thomas fathoms out each dear absent one Before welcome release for the afternoon’s fun. —EOITHANNE WILLIAMSON 132 OUR COURSE OF STUDY GEOMETRY—one of the simple pastimes of Pythagoras, used as a device of torture for high school students. LATIN—a course of study to prove that the “dead” languages are still dan- gerously alive. GERMAN—a guttural vocal contortion performed (we don’t see how) for the purpose of conveying ideas. HISTORY—a series of facts about bygone events, in which we are not inter- ested. CHEMISTRY—a science of smells and explosives warranted to provide, if treated lightly or carelessly, a sure transit—to where? FRENCH—a modern language, spoken by means of violent gestures, some- times accompanied by spoken words. ENGLISH—a subject placed in the high school curriculum by mistake since it is sometimes enjoyable. • ALGEBRA—a two-year course devoted to trying to solve the mystery of what the “x” that “marks the spot” is. SHORTHAND—the learning of how to use the scribbling, wandering pencil to advantage while listening to a lecture. TYPING—an exercise for the development of the fingers which, if we are fortunate, may later help to get us a job. ECONOMICS—the study of how to budget our income (if we ever should have any income). BIOLOGY—a course giving good training for cooking since we cut up birds, animals, and plants and boil their parts into a thick soup (for the sake of science). PHYSICAL EDUCATION—a way to build up our muscles, which seems merely to deprive us of pep. vim, and vigor and to leave us “fizzed.” MUSIC—a course of instruction given to show how “music hath charms that calm the savage beast.” —JERRY STAMLER —ELSIE LANG 133 ASPIRATIONS So that those in the future know what to expect, I jot down these reasons why our peace was wrecked. Alas, tis the goal of all we young chumps To possess certain talents which we rate as trumps All lasses do sigh and deeply they mourn That they lack the lung power of Miss Weissenborn; For when their own voices are hoarse in the fall. They’d use it for cheering their stars in football. Then. too. each coy maiden does deeply lament That those fetching ringlets from Heaven straight sent The pates of both Rankin and Weston to grace Do not add some beauty to her own plain face. At Miss Harle’s arrival, the girls in a fog Were aghast to see all of the nice lads agog; And everyday since they’d have given their all To possess for an hour her soft southern drawl. Miss Reidell’s is the figure we’d all highly prize, And the deep brown of Breisch’s or the blue of Hergt’s eyes. And. too, Sibley’s tresses of warm Titian hue, And then later on the grand halo of Drew. Since the height of the girls is a question of state As important to them as the problem of weight, It will brighten their lives and dispel every qualm If a level they strike twixt Allen and Nussbaum. In addition to physical qualities fair, One also needs traits of character rare. Among them are calmness and sense of good humor, Possessed in the combination. Huselton-Calder. On our roster of ideals we must lend a space To the charming Miss Daniels of cameo face, And to Beulah who’d likely believe it a sin If ne’er a coquette did envy her skin. And for the pursuits upon which we are bent, We pray that the iron-will of Mamie be sent, And Eastwood’s sarcasm, and Evan’s growl, Without which our efforts would really be foul. Among these fine talents our teachers possess. There’s still one more feature on which we lay stress, To learn all the theorems—and kings—and their reigns— We wish we had just one small slice of their brains. 134 RESULTS AND ROSES The man who wants a garden fair, Or small or very big, With flowers growing here and there, Must bend his back and dig. The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain. Whate’er we want of any worth We’ve got to work to gain. It matters not what goal you seek Its secret here reposes; You've got to dig from week to week To get results or roses. —ROSE CAPIOBIANCO 135 COMMENCEMENT The years at school have rolled along With a gradual gain of knowledge, And now we go our separate ways In business or to college. The time has come for parting words: Farewell, “so long,” good-bye, Words with a depth of meaning, Unknown to you or I. We clasp a hand in fond farewell And part with friendly cheers. But little can we see ahead The long uncharted years. For life is still a mystery; We know not where we go, But, in parting, let’s remember We reap that which we sow. —GEORGE GRIMM 136 FAREWELL The final page—the end—is here; We close our year book in good cheer. For through its pages you have had Variety—some good, some bad. Our various moods are on display. Presented in our youthful way By serious pen and smiling lip In memory to good fellowship. Now. as we part and say good-bye. We swear that we will “do or die”— And. leaving, do ourselves assure That memories sweet will long endure. —GEORGE GRIMM 137 ADVERTISING Unfailing Spring I said good-bye to spring quite happily, Most sure of her return one day, I did not know—How could I see,— What lay upon the way. Ere winter, sorrow froze my heart. I said, “The sun will shine no more; For me all songs are things apart. On spring I closed my door. So when the world grew soft and green, When nature danced with spirits gay, To my veiled eyes the only scene Was a murky one ana grey. E‘er long by tender breezes warmed My skies took on a different hue, Faith in my heart anew was formed, And then ’twas Spring, I knew. —CHARMION McCUIRK Cood Wishes A Friend Best Wishes to The Class of 1936 The First National Bank of West Orange Perfect Pictures of Priceless Possessions All pictures in this book were made by CHAMPION STUDIO 326 Main Street Orange, N.
