Volume Seven Published by the Senior Class of w EST OKA N G E 11 I G 11 S C H O O L w e s t Ora n ft e « N e w J e r s e y DEDICATION Patience and kindness have won for you the admiration of your pupils, for through your tireless efforts you have made light to fall upon a sphere of science before shrouded and obscure to many of them. Not through words but through yourself have you set before them the true meaning of the scientific attitude of mind.” Your cooperative spirit in our activities has also gained for you the esteem of all seniors. That we may show our appreciation we dedicate to you, Mr. Taylor, the 1937 West-O-Ranger.” The colors have dried on the canvas; the sketcher has folded his easel; the scribe has put away his pen. It is finished—the West-O-Ranger, the picture of our high school days with their joys and troubles, their conquests and vic- tories. And in compiling this book of pleasant memories through whose pages in the far-distant future we shall relive the happy days of our care-free youth, we have honored an old friend of our childhood. Mother Goose, one whom we hope may live forever in the hearts of youth in spite of the present adverse criticism of disconcerting college professors. —Robert Witten SCHOOL SCHOOL LIFE ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES FEATURES ADVERTISEMENTS CONTENTS t X SCHOOL $ ZOwH OHV)hZh2D SOLOMON C.

ARMS linildmxs and Grounds ERED WOLFF In 1890, the first Board of Education of West Orange, consisting of eight elected members, was provided for. Later the mem- bership was increased to twelve, but it was permanently reduced in 1913 to five members who are appointed by the mayor. The Board of Education has been singularly free from politics; and as a result, member- ship on it has appealed to many prominent business and professional men. Among the more distinguished who have served at some time since 1917 are Mrs. Harlan, Farnham Yardley, T. H. Powers Farr, and Coloncr Her- bert Barry. Colonel Barry, a prominent New York lawyer, appointed in 1919, is still active as president and has the longest record for continuous service of any member. Jesse Col- linson, Fred Wolff, and Samuel D. Arms, busi- ness men and members of the Board, all take an active interest in civic affairs, as docs Mrs. Cora Guinn, who is the third of the three women who have been on the Board since 1917. As a result of the Board’s progressive poli- cies and insistence on high standards, th? school system of West Orange has kept pace with modern educational developments and is the equal of any system in the metropolitan district.

WOHS The Seniors The bright and shining faces you’ve just seen Belong to seniors; though we’d scarcely win A prize for beauty, still the quips beneath Our pictures surely must have made you grin. We’re almost ready to forsake these halls. To put aside our books and venture out; Our hopes burn high with young Ambition’s wish To sec the world, to conquer fear and doubt. Perhaps a gifted artist here is hid, A writer not yet showing his true bent; Perhaps if you look closely you’ll observe The features of a future president. But whether we’ll gain wealth or world renown, And whether we’ll achieve our goal, and fame. We’re grateful for the training we’ve had here— We know that we’re prepared to play the game. —Cynthia Laidlaw s WILLIAM I'OX President William Fox Wc are told that Bill plays good football.

JUNIOR The Junior Class will very easily fit into the shoes of the class of 37, for it has proved itself to be outstanding. The following members maintained an average of ninety or above throughout the first half of the year: Thelma Neulin, Marceline Weber, Ruth Clochessy, Jean Latimer, Shirley Plume, Mary Van Veen, Barbara Jackson, Alberta Scherholz. Everyone will remember the interesting debate that the Juniors presented on the CLASS subject of co-education. We were all pleased at its unexpected outcome. James Stephens, vice-president of the class, was elected best speaker. Four members of the class played an active part in helping us win our famous pigskin victories; and the Juniors may boast the fact that Jack Hannon, a member of the class, played center on our varsity basketball team. They also bought over a hundred copies of the 1937 West-O-Ranger. More power to you. Class of ’38.

I just can’t seem to get the knack of passing while I’m here. Oh, teacher, 1 do hope I pass; The children pull my beard. Now that I’m in the Senior Class it’s happened as I’ve feared: My children want to make me work. But I think it’s too late. It’s not that I would want to shirk— But I’m pensioned by the state.’ Now hush and watch the football game; It’s in the second half. No, I don’t know that fellow’s name— You want his autograph? Oh, see, our team is kicking off! Now watch this tricky play. I don’t see cause for you to laugh; You looked the other way. Oh, stop and watch the football game! I told you that before! There goes the gun; the game is done. What! you don’t know the score?” Oh, lady, buy a magazine; It’s for a worthy cause. I tell you they are really fine—” The lad refused to pause. His foot was stuck within the door. Intent for her to sign. Although he was a sophomore. His eloquence was fine. Oh, lady, buy a magazine,” The lad was half in tears. I’d love to, sonny, but you sec I’ve gotten it for years.” No, Charlie’s aunt is not a skirt; Oh yes, I mean she is. That other aunt was just a guy That played her part, not his.

I'll sit down here and start to write; The papers arc before me. Let’s see—I studied this last night; A chill is coming o’er me. I knew, but I can’t seem to think— My head feels like a ton; Ah, now I’ll go and get a drink, At last the darn thing’s done. Ah, sec our manly tumbling team. How graceful! My, such form! They dive and roll, as in a dream; They’re grand when they perform. Ah, see them work upon the bars— And see them turn a flip. A few of them are seeing stars; They should have watched their grip. Ah, see those vicious boxers box. And hear those wrestlers groan. I say! I’m tired of taking knocks; I want to be alone. I took her to the Senior Prom, But now she’s cold as ice. My heart is filled with dismal gloom— She used to be so nice. We went—and I was very gay, A gentleman, of course. I always knew the thing to say; I even spoke in verse. But now she passes in the hall Without a second glance, But it was not my fault at all— I didn’t know they dance. My friends, we’re gathered here to-night To see this great class graduate. (Oh darn, those pesky things can bite; They do it just to irritate.) My friends, we’re gathered here to-night— (Oh, here it comes again.)

With a new coach at the helm and an abundance of new comers in the lineup, the team’s strength at that time seemed rather dubious. However, the cowboys staged a happy surprise by completely outplaying the big Millburn eleven and presenting a 14-0 victory, a score which was but a bit of an indication of the one-sidedness of the contest. In their next struggle, the Mountaineers continued to show their class, by defeat- ing Paterson Central by virtue of a seventy-yard dash, made by Bob Cross, a reserve half-back. Although West Orange kept Paterson on the defensive, deep in their own territory almost all of the game, the Red and White seemed to lack a scoring punch. The following week, the big Red and Blue team of East Orange was met with the result that West Orange gained her first major victory. The consistent line smashing of Lou Falcone finally culminated in a score in the final period when he plunged over from the two-yard stripe. One of the features of the game was the fine punting of Norman Hansen, East Orange’s all-state end. Finally, unleashing their potential scoring power, the Mountaineers invaded Summit for their fourth game and set the Farmers back to the tune of 33-0. The excellent ball toting of Falcone, Canova, and Stierle, a 13 5-pound Junior back, coupled with the rigid blocking of Brown, McDonough, and Hannon chiefly accounted for the slaughter. Next on the schedule was Orange, our traditional rival, who was determined to put an end to our clean record of victories. However, they proved to be just another opponent as far as the cowboys were concerned. On the second play of the game Canova ran 80 yards to start the parade of touchdowns. The only sad part of the game was the fact that Orange was the first team to score on the Mountaineers. McDonough and Kent were outstanding players on the defense. West Orange ran into somewhat of an unexpected snag in their next battle against Westfield. The Westfielders staged a brilliant defense and threw a scare into the Red and White cheering section when they managed to get the ball into their possession on the one-yard line. How- ever, the Mountaineers stubbornly kept them from scoring and during the second half ripped and plunged forward with sustained gains until they pushed over three touch- downs. Pennington and McDonough were again stalwarts on the defense line. Roselle Park also proved to be a tougher tussle than was anticipated. In the first few minutes of play, a West Orange kick was blocked; and the ball rolled over the end zone for an automatic safety. This seemed to inspire the Ashley men, and in a pounding drive they pushed Roselle Park about from one end of the field to the other for the remainder of the game and won by a safe margin. Falcone, the hard-driving fullback, once again led the West Orange assault. • In defeating Belleville, who it seemed had an even chance to win the game, the Cowboys displayed the best brand of all-around football seen in the Mountainside Sta- dium in many a moon. With the exception of a long scor- ing pass, knifed by Bill Gauscpohl, an all-state end, the Bellboys were completely bewildered. Lou Falcone and Bob McDonough once more proved to be the main cogs in the home eleven. The final curtain was drawn on Thanksgiving Day when West Orange met Columbia, her most formidable Robert McDonough Captain Willinm Ashley Coach rival. After fifty-five minutes of hard-fought, cleanly played football, with neither team having the edge, a Co- lumbia back stroke loose and scampered ninety yards to pay dirt.” This was the only score of the ball game. This game was an unlucky loss, not only because Columbia is our arch rival but also because a victory would have meant an undefeated, untied team with the winning of the Inter- Oranges Championship title and probably the Group IV State Championship title. At a special assembly, varsity blocks were awarded to the following boys: Robert McDonough, William Penning- ton, Jack Hannon, Douglas Kent, Armand Farrara, Salvatore Blumettc, William Reinhart, Fred Brown, Otto Canova, James Tahaney, Louis Falcone, Robert Cross, Charles Flynn, Lester Burdick, Rocco Sarcone, Francis Lucciola, Robert Loose, and Warren Dunn. Gold footballs were awarded to the following seniors: Robert McDonough, Jack Hannon, Fred Brown, James Tahaney, Otto Canova, William Pen- nington, Robert Loose, Warren Dunn, Jack Jones, Lester Burdick, Douglas Kent, and William Reinhart. In reflecting over the successful campaign we must not forget the ceaseless and unheralded efforts of our able coach- ing staff, William Ashley, Marcus Rankin, and Alfred Law- rence, who turned in a great piece of work.

The Jayvees dropped the verdict four times and emerged victorious only twice. They scored forty-four points and were touched for fifty-six points. The reserves opened the season against the Millburn recruits and trimmed the Mill- burnites to the tune of 19-0. Next they stacked up against our mighty arch-rivals, the Red and Black of Columbia, and suffered their most severe loss of the season. In the following game, their attempt to get into the winning column was again thwarted by a wet field and by the East Orange team, the score being 2-0 in favor of East Orange. However, the Mountaineers proved that they were good mudders; and in their next encounter, again on a muddy field, they trounced Roselle Park 6 to 0 in a fast, hard-fought skirmish. A fighting Orange eleven was met next in the most bitterly contested struggle of the season. After taking command of a six to nothing lead in the first period, the Maroon and White yearlings yielded to the heavier, more ex- perienced Orangeites. On the following week, the team drew the curtain on their abbreviated schedule by dropping a 19-7 decision to a fast-stepping Irvington aggregation. Despite the poor record of the team, we may call the season a very successful one; for the entire squad experienced many highly enjoyable times as well as absorbed much invaluable experience. The following members of the Junior Varsity received second team blocks: Mc- Nierny, McDonald, Richardson, Mathcsius, Revere, Himsel, Fox, D’Alcssio, Burkhalter, Melchione, Dc Ruyter, Phinncy, Sticrlc, and Rolfscn.

The team, at times, showed flashes of championship ball only to slip back into a slump. The team, winning only six out of fourteen games, still won enough of their games to warrant an invitation to the State Invitation Tournament. Coach Rankin, having lost four varsity men from his 1936 Group III champions, had to replace these vacancies from his 1936 jayvee team. This lack of experience along with the fact that the team was in stronger competition was probably the cause for the unimpressive season. Coach Rankin formed the team around Captain Jack Hannon, the only veteran to return. Hannon performed his duties in the most com- mendable manner even surpassing his former reputation. His cool steady playing in the forward position, his deadly shooting, and his work under the basket made him the most valuable man on the team. Because of his fine playing, he was awarded a position on the mythical All-Orange Team. Charley Flynn, Hannon’s running mate, was a constant threat to all opposing teams with his spectacular one-handed shots. Flynn, a fighting Irishman, who was always fighting under both baskets, was also a con- stant ball-hawk. Howard Fuzzy Smith, who held down the center position most of the season, was very green in the beginning of the season and did not hit his stride until later. He relied mostly on a pivot shot which became effective late in the season. The guard positions were filled by Otto Canova and Bill Hackctt. The diminutive Otto besides playing an excellent defensive game was a constant threat with his fast breaks for lay-up shots. Hackett was the unsung hero, spending most of his time setting up the team’s plays. In addition to his team play, Hackett played defensive game of note and was a long-shot artist. Bob Loose, although he did not have any special position, played a great game all the way through. He was primarily a team player, devot- ing most of his time to teamwork instead of scoring. Jack Hannon, Charley Flynn, Bob Loose, Howard Smith, Bill Hack- ett, Otto Canova, Lou Falcone, Ted Lucciola, and Tom O’Reilly all won the coveted varsity blocks. Masucci, Krasner, Shank, Fowler, Watson, G. Smith, Mathcsius, Pier- son, Frazer, Cullen, and Keenan won junior varsity blocks. As Hannon, Loose, Smith, Canova, and Hackett played their last game for West Orange against South Side, Coach Rankin will again have to form his 1938 team from the jayvecs.

Every Monday after- noon Mr. Callard may be seen on the stage putting these boys, our tumbling team, through their paces. Late this spring the acrobats will display some of their daring feats in their annual assembly program. An extensive intramural sports program is also prepared each year by Mr. Callard. This includes basketball, baseball, and track. The boys represent the different gym classes. The winners of the track SPORTS events and the members of the championship baseball nine arc pre- sented with medals at the end of the year. West Orange also boasts a varsity golf team which has the use of the Rock Spring Country Club Course. Although no veterans are left from last year’s foursome, many promising recruits arc trying out for the team. All in all, the boys enjoy many different sports in the various seasons of the school year. Kin Lewis Brewer Marks Leadbeater Williams Cook Pep Promoters Let’s go, red! Let’s go, white! Let’s go, team! Fight! Fight! Fight! Is it any wonder that our athletic teams win victories when we consider how they are inspired by the stimulating student cheering, led by our enthusias- tic cheerleaders? Responsible for the spirit of both players and audience are these boys, headed by Bud Leadbeatcr. They are always at all the games with their rousing cheers and eager yells; no game would seem quite complete without them. Along with Bud, the other cheerleaders are Russell Lewis, Fred Cooke, Jack Williams, Leonard Marks, Allen Brewer, and Wally King. t Seniors: Girls’ Basket Forwards: Gunhild Englund, Anita Gould, Ruth Hammer, Jane Wiberalske.

Girls1 Sports Under the supervision of Miss Ada Scheffer, basketball aspirants report to the girls’ gym once a week. There the girls practice faithfully in hopes that their efforts may be rewarded by being named on the annual Sophomore, Junior, or Senior Team. After many practice sessions are held, the teams are announced; and the mythical inter-class competition is held. Upon observing each of this year’s teams, we feel sure that a three-cornered battle will ensue with the seniors and juniors holding a slight edge—the seniors because of more experience and the juniors because of unusual ability. In addition to basketball, other recreational opportunities are offered to the girls of West Orange High. This year the annual inter-class volley ball tournament was held under the direction of Miss Warrena Aumack, a student teacher from Panzer College. A Junior Team, captained by Ruth Kupferer, and a Senior Team, led by Gywneth Griffin, managed to reach the finals. When the last point was won, the spectators found that the competent Junior Team had outwitted their more experienced opponents by excellent team-work. Baseball is probably the most popular sport offered to the girls of the school. Perhaps they enjoy this sport most because they are glad to go out-of-doors for gym after having been kept indoors by the winter’s inclement weather. Much enthusiasm is given to the baseball tournament which is run off every June—this year being no exception. Excitement accompanies each play-off game. It is impossible to ‘'pick a winner” until the last put-out is made, for base hits and home runs arc always in order. Badminton, shuffieboard, bowling, stunts, pyramids, broad jumping, and handball constitute the less important of girls' sports.

A Hard Bunch To Beat President WILLIAM HOOPLR Program Chairman BARBARA STAUFFER Vice-President DOROTHY BOSCHEN Critic LUELLA ROBINSON Secretary RUTH GLADSTONE Sergeant-at-arms CHARLES NEILL Treaxurer ARTHUR PEDERSEN Faculty Adviser MRS. R. NOCK Honorary Member MR. TERWILLIGFR Ah! The bi-monthly meeting of Clio and Philo has just begun. Shall we peek in to see what is happening? Philo seems to be taking charge of the meeting. Bang, bang, bang, raps Hooper’s gavel. An ominous silence follows. The meeting will please come to order,” he announces. The secretary will read the minutes.” Ruth Gladstone then gives a splendid account of the previous meeting. The president next calls for the treasurer’s report. No report,” replies Arthur Pedersen as usual. There is nothing in the treasury to report on.” A titter, heard among the members, is soon silenced as the meeting is turned over to the program chairman, Barbara Stauffer. The first speaker on the program gives an excellent report of the popular novel Gone with the Wind.” The merits of Roosevelt and Landon are next discussed. For diversion, there is then a spelling bee; and Clio and Philo members are lined against each wall like rebels to be shot if one dares to muss the library. Philo, with its more brilliant members, wins the contest; and the meeting is adjourned. The great rivalry between Clio and Philo is apparent to everyone in the school. Although Clio now holds the silver loving cup, Philo is eagerly casting side-long glances at its brightness. With the help of Mrs. Nock, the faculty adviser, Philo presented an interesting assembly program on the life of Lincoln. Largely through her efforts, this organiza- tion has become one of the outstanding clubs of the school. Top Row: Plume . Creed. Doty. Handel; Second Row: Morlet. Griffin. Weber, Ford, Morlet.

A Harder Bunch to Beat President JANET MORLET Treasurer IRVING SOLOWAY Vice-President JEANNETTE KELLEY Program Chairman MURIAL McGUCKIN Secretary EVELYN STODDART Critic RICHARD HANDEL Faculty Adviser MISS GEORGE M. DREW The Cliosophic Literary Society meets in the library with the Philologian Literary Society on every other Tuesday. Both clubs have for their purposes the developing of better speakers and the creating of greater interest in the world news of the day. Any person wishing to enter either club must have a general average of at least seventy-five per cent. At the end of the year the averages of the members of the two clubs are computed, and the club having the higher average receives a silver loving cup. Clio for several consecutive years has been the proud possessor of the cup. Clio can also boast of having several more boys as members in her club than does Philo. The banquet in June is the most brilliant affair of the year. For the Senior members, it means the end of two delightful years of club membership; and for the juniors, the beginning of a happy Senior Year. After dinner the sophomores are initiated. The seniors, as sophomores, having suffered humiliation at the hands of the upper classmen, at last have their opportunity to wreak sweet revenge by making the incoming class suffer at their hands. When the roars of laughter have died away, Mr. Reimhcrr awards the cup to the more worthy club. Dancing in the girls gym follows and adds much to the night’s entertainment. Under Miss Drew’s guidance, Clio has completed another very successful year. Top How: Stoddart. Kupferer. Leavitt. Allinu. Baldwin, Sibley; Front Row: SchwitterB, Battista, Griffin, Gillett. Lowther.

We feel, however, that at our monthly meetings our unique ways of convers- ing in French have improved. Of the various meetings of the year, the Christmas meeting was an especially good one. In a typically French atmosphere, provided by the French manger scene, which was surrounded by burning candles, we were told about the origin and customs of Noel. Then, accompanied by President Eleanor Gillett on the piano, we all joined together in singing French songs, one of the activities of the meetings that we most enjoy. Particular favorites arc D’ou Viens-Tu, Bcrgere!” and Un Flambeau, Jean- nette Isabella. ” Also the club members get a great deal of fun out of playing games in French. Who am I?” helps our conversational ability, and the cross-word puzzles certainly test the ability even of our 9$ per cent pupils. It was, indeed, a joyous day when our treasurer Betty Mueller announced that we were at last rich enough to enjoy the long-awaited luxury of having moving pictures. Consequently, at the following meeting, Life in Brittany” and Paris in its Surroundings” were shown to the group. On the whole, we feel our year of activity to have been not only entertaining, but also interesting and beneficial for us all. Foreigners in Disguise President RICHARD HANDEL Secretary Vice-President RUTH CLOCHESSY Treasurer CHARLOTTE ANDREWS BETTY MUELLER Program Chairman CHARLES NEILL After the election of its officers this year, the German Club started out on a lively season of activity with Miss Manley as its new adviser. The first big event was a visit of the entire club to the German theatre in Irving- ton where the members felt quite elated to think they could understand most of the German spoken. Other extra activities included the visit of a group of members to the Christmas Celebration at Montclair State Teachers College, and the trip of the Executive Committee” to the motion picture version of The Beggar Student.” The most important meetings held at school were the Christmas party, the Richard Wagner program, and the initiation of the new members at whose expense the old members were provided with much amusement. Spare time in each meeting was usually devoted to the singing of good German songs. All year the club’s treasury kept up the endless cry for dues and was finally rewarded in procuring enough funds for another trip. On this trip, which was an especially good one, the members visited the Planetarium, the S.S. Hamburg, and saw The White Horse Inn,” a musical show. All in all, the club is rather proud of its activities this year and wishes the club as much success next year. They Came! They Spoke! They Conquered! President EUNICE TURTON Secretary JANET CLAYTON Vice-President WILLIAM CHRISTIE Treasurer ROBERT HOFSTEAD Reporter ASUNTA BELFIORE To k now and understand the charm of Castilian speech, which is spoken in more countries than any other language, is the main function of El Circulo Cervantes, the Spanish Club. Under the able guidance of La Senorita Harlc, the members of the club have striven for natural speech and the correct writing of Spanish. The instruction in the club has acquainted the members with the history, the spirit, and the customs of the Spanish people as well as made them more familiar with the geography, the commercial life, the educational and other social problems, the art, and the literature of the Spanish countries. The club meets once every month. The meetings, conducted almost entirely in Spanish, begin with the reciting of the Lord’s Prayer and the saluting of the flag. Then follow the programs, as planned by the President, Eunice Turton, which usually consist of reports having to do with famous places and noted men and of the playing of Spanish games. On special occasions, such as holidays, appropriate programs arc given. The Spanish Club has helped to make the study of Spanish more enjoyable and has created a sympathy for and understanding of the races who speak Spanish. Long live El Circulo Cervantes”! Here, There, Everywhere “Comradeship, Service, Vocation” President DOROTHY KING Treasurer DONNA BAILEY Secretary GWYNETH GRIFFIN The Setuit Club, our Girls’ League, is composed of all the girls in the school. Its council is a representative body of girls whose duty it is to conduct the business of the organization. The purpose of the club is three fold: to increase comradeship, to serve our school and community, and to help girls find their places in life. Eight standing committees have been organized to accomplish the objects of the club: the Ways and Means Committee to earn funds; the Social Service Committee to do friendly and charitable work; the Vocational and College Information Committee to present useful information concerning girls futures; the School Service Committee; and the Publicity Committee. However, the Setuit Club is interested not only in girls’ prob- lems and community projects but also in social activities. The Girls’ Assembly and Social Committees have arranged several enjoyable entertainments, such as, the fashion show, the Christmas program, and the frankfurter roast. The two traditional annual events are the Mother and Daughter Banquet and the impressive Initiation Assembly. The many suggestions so willingly given by the girls of the school to this year’s council make us anticipate a more interesting and beneficial schedule for the coming year.

BLISS The Assembly Council, .1 group of students who under the supervision of Miss Bl iss plan our assembly programs, deserves great credit for its splendid work through- out the past year. This Council has planned for us programs which have been most interesting, as well as inspiring and instructional. We have been most fortunate in having had with us the following people: Dr. Frank Kingdom President of the University of Newark, who was our Thanksgiving speaker; Mr. Smith of our faculty, who gave a talk on Oxford College; Bryant Griffin, one of our alumni now attending the University of Cincinnati, who related his ex- periences while helping the Red Cross during the recent flood; Miss Elizabeth Brown of Panzer College, who gave a talk on and showed slides of the 1936 Olympics; and Miss Edna Bond who spoke on the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. In addition to these speakers, we have enjoyed group singing; glee club demon- strations; orchestral presentations; round table discussions concerning Christmas, Wash- ington, and Lincoln; and debates on subjects of present-day interest—all of which assemblies we have greatly appreciated.

ROBERT BRADY Every Wednesday night, a group of our boys meets at the Orange Y.M.C.A. for � an evening of basketball, swimming, ping-pong, or other indoor athletics. This group, which is under the able guidance of Mr. Kilian, is known as the Hi-Y.” Besides their regular business meetings and their athletic activities, the boys have a social night once a month and a Splash and Hop party twice annually. These affairs, as well as the after-school dancing which they sponsored, have always been social successes and occasionally financial successes. This year Paul Schlegel and Charles Gaskell were chosen as the club’s representa- tives to the annual Hi-Y Conference in Collingswood, New Jersey. Clean Speech, Clean Thoughts, and Clean Athletics is the motto which the boys try to follow in all their activities.

On Armistice Day morning, a group of these scouts assembled at Memorial Park to pay tribute to the boys of West Orange who gave their lives in the World War. After having honored these heroes by placing a wreath on each of the trees, which were planted in the park a few years ago in commemoration of these brave men, the scouts marched the length of the park carrying flags. They then stood at attention while a wreath was placed on the monument. As the chimes from St. Mark’s Church sounded the eleventh hour, the ceremony was concluded by Robert Wagner, who sounded taps. In silence, the scouts then left the park. Members of our student body who took part in this impressive ceremony were Robert Wagner, Arthur Pedersen, Evelyn Stoddart, and Barbara Stauffer. Armistice Day was also celebrated in our school assembly by the reading of the names of the West Orange boys who fought and died in the war, and by the sounding of taps. They Wouldn’t Say Yes! They Wouldn’t Say No! Each class is represented by its own debating team, made up of its best speakers and its best students who are interested in this activity. Debating undoubtedly requires the most hard work of any extra-curricular activity in the school. Intensive study of the subject is needed before an attempt may be made by a debater to convince an audience and an opponent that he is justified in defending a certain point of view. The seniors were the first to present their debate this year. The question: Resolved, that all electric utilities should be govcrnmentally owned and operated was supported on the affirmative by Cynthia Laidlaw, Richard Wiener, Gwyneth Griffin, and Thomas Higgins. On the negative side were Jane Wibcralske, Robert Witten, Arthur Pedersen, and Barbara Stauffer. The negative debaters, coached by Miss Weissenborn, were the winners by a two to one decision. The affirmative, coached by Miss Bliss, received two votes for having the best speaker—Thomas Higgins. Robert Witten received one vote for being the best speaker. Credit also goes to the Junior Class for presenting an interesting, as well as an informational, debate on the question: Resolved, that segregated schools and colleges are more desirable than co-cducational schools and colleges. Ruth Clochcssy, Russell Thompson, Mary Van Veen, and Jean Roberts supported the affirmative side; Leonard Marks, Thelma Nculin, Jane Leavitt, and James Stephens, the negative. Ruth Clochcssy was voted best speaker, but James Stephens received honorable mention. The affirma- tive team was coached by Miss McCloskey; and the negative, by Miss Breisch. The sophomores debated the question: Resolved, that war, except in cases of rebellion, should be declared by a direct vote of the people. The affirmative side, coached by Miss Goodyear, was made up of Robert Boynton, Simon Frank, Jean Trabold, and John Mullins. The negative side, coached by Mrs. Milliken, was com- prised of Daniel Simon, Lois Meier, Sidney Levin, and Fred Bross. Itottom Row: Wiener. Higgins, Wolf.

Charley’s Aunt On the evenings of December fourth and fifth, the Senior Class presented its annual play to well-filled houses. This year, Charley’s Aunt,” a popular farce by Brandon Thomas, was chosen for the production. Thanks are owed to Miss Grace C.

It is merely an organization, composed of fourteen sophomores, juniors, and seniors, for the express purpose of assisting Miss Bedell in her work. Throughout the school term, the members of the council have aided Miss Bedell by collecting the library slips and distributing them to the study halls, by taking charge of the library in Miss Bedell’s absences, and running errands. The members have also been helpful during the periods of final examinations. The students on the Library Council are Dorothy Bauer, Barbara Jackson, Fred Metzger, Helen Miller, George Pettitt, Victoria Rccchia, Florence Marano, Ann Carle, Patricia Pearce, William Bull, Joseph Dankowski, Robert Ballenger, Jack Ballengcr, and Rosemary Betz.

A Fairy Tale Through the window the sinking sun cast its last few gleams of reddi h light which played upon the desks of the deserted school room. The large deck on the wall loudly ticked out its oft-repeated tale that time was getting on, but still I sat moodily staring into space thinking . . . thinking . . . Our class was to go down in history— but how? As I gazed distractedly about seeking inspiration, a few scribbled lines upon the blackboard stayed my glance. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, She had so many children she didn’t know what to do; She gave them some breakfast and sent them to school To learn, as new sophomores, the good golden rule. I snickered, then giggled aloud. How silly! I exclaimed. Mother Goose, indeed! Such imbecility, thought I, could have been the work only of some ingenious brain with idle hands. Mother Goose belonged in kindergarten, perhaps; but in High School—well hardly! I leaped to my feet to put an end to such foolishness when a voice shrieked Stop so loudly that I promptly lost the eraser and all sense of pro- portion as I whirled about in time to sec a kindly, time-honored woman dismount from a huge white goose. Sorry to have frightened you, my dear, spoke up the pleasant old lady in a tone sweeter than a peppermint stick; but do you think you arc being quite fair to your companion? Because you are a senior, have you the right to frown upon your childhood friends? N-no, I admitted reluctantly, not feeling in any respect like a senior, but more as though I had stepped into my second childhood. ’'Remember that day,” asked she, three years ago when to this brick shelter you came, a band of bewildered sophomores?” I nodded and smiled reminiscently as Mother Goose continued: It was not long, however, before you were feeling quite at home; and crossing off those ’thirty days hath September,’ you anxiously awaited the election of class officers. There was a clapping of hands when bred Brown was elected as the president of this little pioneer society; Gwyneth Griffin, vice-president; Dorothy King, Secretary; and Russell Lewis, treasurer. Then came your first and worst bump! Six weeks had rolled away, and red marks went home with report cards. Now 'if wishes could have been horses’— but they weren’t. You little sophomores had received your first jolts instead of your 95’s. Not long after that red letter day came that memorable assembly in which Mr. Reimhcrr issued his famous injunction against 'mooning.’ The 'Georgie Porgies’ of the class now became outcasts—or did they? Then before you could say ’boo!’, January had crept up behind you and said it for you. Foreboding were those days! The mimeo- graph turned ceaselessly for weeks; and when suddenly it stopped, Mr. Reimherr’s well- known ’ding-dong bell’ echoed forth with a deeper meaning to its tone on each of those solemn mornings during the 'mid-years. There was a word whispered about concerning the cruel fate of the 'Little Bo-Peeps.’ Again resounded the cry of ’If wishes were horses,’ and then came the crash of the ’Humpty Dumpties.’ For many nights thereafter, Little Boy Blues and Simple Simons haunted the school seeking special help as they had never thought of doing before. Wee Willie Winkies burnt their lamps far into the night, and there were no more ’ten o’clock scholars. The thirsting for knowledge was universal! But tell me, were you not rewarded for your efforts when September saw the same band, a might wiser perhaps, entering the school as juniors? Your president was Fred Dilzell; your vice-president, Dorothy Boschen. This time Dorothy King held the bag of money, while Fritzie” kept each minute. Early in that fall one day, the Queen of Hearts baked some tarts for the P.-T. A. which the Jack of Hearts stole away—remember? Say, did they ever catch him? Soon February winds howled about the high school and, one chill morning, knocked upon its door. But you and your class- mates were too busy to heed its plaintive call; to the rhythmical music of the Prince- tonians, you were dancing, while here and there could be seen 'a little girl with a little curl right down the middle of her forehead.’ Five months after, these same little girls danced to the lilting rhythm of the 'Omcgans' orchestra. This time the juniors thanked the seniors for a joyful evening in the same breath with which they bade them fare- well. A soothing summer whiled away; September found you the new seniors in the same familiar school building. In a whirl of excitement you have been spending this, your last year—in a whirl of football, basketball, senior dramatics, annual staff meetings, proms, college board classes, and exams. Often have you chuckled as many others have at the recollection of the funny old Charley’s Aunt. At the junior prom you gleefully danced to ’One, Two, Button My Shoe’; but the very presence of those juniors seemed to awaken in every one of you recognition of the passing of your high school days. Now you will find yourselves more and more often looking back. Your faces have for so long been turned toward the future’s sunny rays that they have grown tired of the glare. Your senior year will now too quickly ebb away. Not again will the drum beat of the band in concert with the yell of cheerleaders fall upon your cars as the sweetest sound on earth. Not much longer will this brick building shield you upon this happy hillside of youth. The strains of ’Marche Militaire’ will soon tug at your heart strings as you depart, leaving a red, brick building in the far-away and taking with you only fondest memories and lasting knowledge.” Mother Goose’s voice grad- ually faded away as she added, So you see, your old friends will be with you always; they arc the heirlooms of many generations. Guard and cherish them among your rare possessions.” 1 thanked her, but I could not see her; my eyes were dimmed. When finally I gazed out upon the flaming horizon, the sun had set; and as I watched the rosy pink- ness of the afterglow deepen into a purple hue, 1 saw a great white gander shrink to a speck and then become swallowed up by a fleecy cloud. Oh, well,” I sighed, as 1 picked up the eraser and destroyed the rime which had caused all the trouble. Nobody can stop me now. The tale is told.” —JAN I- DIC KIE Out of the Mouths of Babes ” 1.

Little Tommy Tucker Once sang just for his supper; He now croons on the radio And has another kind of do.” If I'd as much money as I could spend, I never would shop in the fivc-and-tcn. I never would ride on the trolley car, But take a taxi both near and far. Mistress Mary, quite contrary. How docs your garden grow? Two bids for the Prom, and three for Farewell, That isn’t so bad, you know. Little Bo-Peep, she lost sleep— Her Latin? she wasn’t that kind; And it wasn’t parties—oh, no, my hearties, She was reading Gone with the Wind.” It’s once I courted as pretty a lass As ever your eyes did see; But then I discovered—oh me! alas! She couldn’t add three and three. And then I courted a diligent lass, Who could cook and mend my socks; But dearie me! ’Twas a pretty pass, For her face would stop a clock! Curly-Locks, Curly-Locks, wilt thou be mine? I'll buy thee a roadster, all shiny and fine. I'll dress thee in ermine, and sables so grand. And feed thee on caviar, best in the land. Gcorgie Porgic, puddin’ and pie Kissed the girls and made them cry. They cried not for their maidenly shame But clamored for him to do it again. There was a little girl, Who liked a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead; Until it was said That this fashion was dead. And then she thought it was horrid. Jack and Jill Went up the hill, He carried her books, you sec; Said the other girls When they saw this sight, What a wonderful husband he'd be!” Baa, baa, black sheep, have you been to school? Yes sir, yes sir, I'm no fool; I know my Latin; I've studied my Chem; I can read Shakespeare with the best of them. ---CYNTHIA I.AIOLAW. Young Romeo, why blow your horn. Give the girl time herself to adorn; Be patient, my boy, though the waiting seems long, For tooting your horn starts the evening off wrong. Needles and pins, needles and pins. When a fellow cuts classes his trouble begins. —G. Griffin. Some people do love kittens; Others favor dogs; The farmer from the Middle West Craves his little hogs; That greaser in the crowded street— Oh, how he loves his monk! But I am called a cra .y fool ’Cause I prefer the skunk. W. Wetzel. Jack Slack ate all the fat He, too, ate all the lean All by himself—with no one’s help— He licked the platter clean. Ride away, ride away, Jack shall ride. And he shall have Dotty Close by his side. Hy diddle diddle, our Dick and bis fiddle Some day shall rise to fame. His weakness already is taking Dean’s place With others he’ll do the same. B. Stauffer. And now, my children, these stories are done, Here's to '37, it’s been lots of fun. Prophecy of Class of 1937 High above the throngs of swiftly moving people, the tumult of traffic, and the turmoil of Mother Goose City, in a long cluttered room of the tallest pumpkin build- ing, rumpled men chewed thoughtfully on pencils and perfumed women banged their pointed nails on typewriter keys and their teeth on gum. The last edition of the Mother Goose Gazette for the first of May, 1947, was going to press! Copy boy! Copy boy! Raymond Kidd, reporter’s favorite copy boy, scurried around the desks, knocking over waste paper baskets in his path and whistling a solo to the accompaniment of tinkling typewriter keys. At one of the disarrayed desks sat the flashiest reporter on the Gazette, telephon- ing. Hello. Yes, this is Monroe Piaster. What’s that? Arthur Pedersen’s laboratory was destroyed by an explosion. He and his assistant, Olive Koch, were trying to find out what little boys are made of, ahd Miss Koch held the bunsen burner too near a leaking jet. At the far end of the room, Robert Witten, the editor, stepped from his office and, scowling, peered about the room. Finally he spied his victim and shouted these orders. Catch the next pony cart to London Bridge Resort. Jack Ballenger’s hobby horse ran away with him during the polo match this afternoon. There’s been no trace of the horse or the rider for three hours. If wishes be horses, we’ll find them both and get a story! The chic Phyllis Herfurth, society editor, then claimed her boss’s attention; and as the two entered a small, untidy office, she pleaded, I can’t stretch these notes any further, Mr. Witten; but I’ve finally got two columns. I’ve devoted half a column to the hot codlins party, given by Miss Mary Kehoe and Miss Jean Scudder in honor of the famous actress, Ruth Gladstone, who is cast as Lucy Locket in Lengthening Days at the Pippen Hill Theatre. The other half column I have used in another gala affair, which dazzled Mother Goose City, the Solomon Grundy party, given by Miss Frances Dcssler at her Banberry Cross summer home for the handsome, debonair matinee idol, Russell Ford. Mr. Ford was forced to enter by the fire escape, garbed in the clothing of a policeman, to escape the swarms of romantic women who camped on the front lawn of the mansion. The other column contains items about the benefit bridge, given by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tippett for the Mother Goose Day Nursery under the direction of Miss Eleanor Ann Gillett. Mrs. Tippett was the former Dorothy Duff. A summer vacation will start Thursday for Miss Dorothy Boschen, who will sail that day over the waters to St. Ives. Miss Boschen, scenic artist for Mr. Fred Dilzell’s new musical comedy, ‘Leg Over Leg,’ recently gave her collection of perfume bottles to the Mother Goose Museum.’ As Miss Herfurth, smiling sweetly at the boss’s praise, left the office, a reporter rushed in. Breathlessly he shouted, Who do you think got arrested? Anita Schwitters for stealing dog collars! When the police caught her, she had twenty-one collars in a big brown paper bag. Why, she even had a genuine alligator----------. ’ Sec that your story gets somewhere on the bottom of the last page! boomed Mr. Witten. Now take a cab and go over to pier 5 9. I received a tip that the man of Bombay, the hunter William Christie, will arrive this evening at eight. Get a picture of the Pumpkin Eater and the Ducks and Drakes with two heads. While you’re there, get an interview from Gwyneth Griffin, the missionary. Find out if it’s true that she converted the man in the moon.’’ A clamor and uproar outside the office attracted the boss’s notice. Harry Braun, the paper’s most pedantic reporter, clutched his head, raised his hands to the spidery webbed ceiling, circled the boss’s desk, and finally sank to the depths of a backless stool. Jerkily he implored, Sir, I need a vacation! I can’t work when I'm so envenomed with weariness. Today I dissipated eight dollars and forty cents for donkey fare to ride around town looking for news. Enervated I entered a store to buy some Coco Cola. Suddenly a portentious man entered the store, flourished a revolver, and demanded all the cigarettes the owner, Irving Soloway, had. The bandit escaped on foot; but. Sir, I recognized the villain to be none other than Public Enemy Number One, Warren Dunn. If we print this news and identify . . . At this moment Harry fell from the stool with a thud, and the telephone pierced the noise. The editor, hushing the sprawling figure on the floor, answered, Hello! Oh, Prcsi dent Richard Handel of the School of the Classics. You seem very excited. . . . It’s incredible! I’ll sec that the news is published. Thank you.’’ Come, get up, Braun; and I’ll tell you a story. Professor of Latin, Barbara Stauffer, claims that Aeneas discovered America on his wanderings. ’ It was at this moment that tactful Barbara Marks, music editor, entered and laid her neat notes on the desk. I had a wonderful time last night attending all the concerts I had to write up. The Mother Goose Symphonic Orchestra, under the dircc tion of Richard Wiener, played superbly. The piano soloist, Jeannette Kelley, performed with such remarkable velocity that the orchestra played only one beat to a measure to keep up with the talented genius. My highest praise, however, is reserved for the gifted soprano, Madame Gloria Nardiello, who sang with great exultation, the role of The Little Girl with a Little Curl from 'Hush a Bye .” Suddenly, a tall young man with a gay plaid tie and brilliant showy striped socks burst in the office. It was Alfred Leadbeater. Behind each ear was a pencil. His hands were full of subscription blanks. Breathlessly he shouted, r'I have money for fifty-six subscriptions for the Gazette and promises for fifty-one more.” 'Tine, fine,” said Mr. Witten. Suppose you take Miss Marks to lunch. I have an editorial to write.” As the two gingerly left the room, the boss hurriedly dialed a number. Miss Cynthia Laidlaw? Have you written the final chapter of 'I Had a Little Husband?' We’ve printed a chapter every day for eighteen months, and we’re getting complaints from people that they would like something new. Prepare a conclusion for Thursday!” With his usual stealthiness Theo'dore Gilham, the paper’s underworld reporter, stole into the room. A livid scar zigzagged down his right cheek. There’s been a raid in Thomas Higgin’s tavern 'The Cushy Cow.’ June Krauch, Janet Clayton, Sydney Tomp kins, Theodore Metzler, Edward Patz and Ross Borlase were caught climbing out a back window. Some of the fan dancers, including Virginia Harrison and Janet Morlet, escaped in table cloths. I have to be going. Killer Howard Smith and his moll, Jeanette Sektberg, are on my trail again. Some day they’ll get me, and you’ll be losing a good reporter.” As the door slid shut on this infamous looking character, the editor turned to his desk and scanned several articles: Farmer Fred Brown’s advice on How to Humor Chickens,” Helene Ensminger’s recipes for bachelors who like to serve delicacies from cans, Jane Dickie’s bed-time stories, Grace Zito’s beauty talk, Dorothy Donohoe’s advice to the love-lorn, and Elizabeth Mueller’s fashion hints from Paris. Tired from the day’s grind, the editor’s head nodded, slowly, slowly sank, then bumped lightly on his dusty desk. In the shadows of the tall building, under the myriad of the city lights, a shabln newsboy yawned and shouted, Mother Goose Gazette!” MAKIOTTr ANDREWS “Goosey, Goosey Gander, where dost thou wanderV' “Upstairs and downstairs, with '37 yonder.

Advice to Lower Classmen from Us Who Know Spend at least twelve hours on each lesson. Never address the teacher when answering a question, but talk to the student next to you. Turn the radio on loudly when doing your homework. Buy gum for all classes; the stores need your trade. (And great will be your reward. Yea, verily.) Dispose of Mr. Reimherr’s little bell near the beginning of the year. Don’t buy your subscription to the year book until the last crack of the gun. Speak English in the French, Spanish, and German Clubs. Have a good supply of original excuses on hand to use when you’re late to classes. Moon” in the halls. Be sure Mr. Reimherr is nearby. Walk out of school whenever it bores you. Never refrain from talking about Macbeth”, Trivia, and book reports. Do your French homework in Miss Weisscnborn’s English Class and then spend at least ten minutes of Miss Allen’s French Class talking about English. Have a sit-down strike when the subscription campaign rolls ’round. To get in Miss Moses’ good graces, be late to senior play rehearsals and talk constantly during them. Be rattlepatcd for Mrs. Nock’s sake. Hide any literary talent you may possess. Miss Hilson doesn’t like it. Never bring your instruments to orchestra rehearsals. Snore loudly during debates. Cough at the speakers you don’t like in assembly. Talk when you please in the library. We guarantee success if you follow these rules. --GWYNLTH GRIFFIN Who Killed Cock Robin? The city clock proclaims the end of another day; yet the glaring lights blaze on, and everywhere restlessness abounds. Now and then above this hubbub floats the shrill cry, Murderer of Cock Robin, Class of ’37, still being sought! Read all about the . . . ' Far from this pandemonium of traffic and the raucous shouts of newsboys, the owl from its perch in the twisted apple tree repeatedly asks, Who? Who? Not ten feet away in an old deserted hut, a slouched, trembling figure paces the creaky, rustic floor. Into every chink and cranny of the dark room sifts blackest night, while at the far end, the feeble rays of a dying candle soon lose their way in the impenetrable gloom. No wonder the big black beast Fear has seized Mr. Class of ’38 and has shaken him to a state of qualm and trepidation! The scene is now laid; won’t you join me? This hideout will serve us well, for here we may safely spy on Mr. Class of ’38. The two tall pines nearby whisper, What’s up now? as a gentle breeze enters the cabin, snuffs out the flickering flame, and leaves a death-like blackness, a hushed stillness, in its train. Blindly Mr. Junior Class, panic-stricken with terror, gropes for light. Never before has darkness seemed so cruel! Then suddenly, surrounded by an eerie light, there emerges from one murky corner, a ghost-like spectre, the dread apparition of Cock Robin, Class of ’37! Stand- ing aghast, Mr. Class of ’38 tries in vain to speak and in heart-sinking despair hides with icy hands his face now grown paler than the coolest ash. Take your revenge, he screeches. I killed you. Cock Robin. Yes, I killed you! In mournful accents the phantom recites the story of its restless existence, of its forced and vagrant wanderings until its departed spirit be appeased by the recovery of its missing Will and Testament. On and on it continues until seconds have lengthened to minutes and minutes to hours. The faint glimmer of the grey dawn now throws upon the floor its first few fluttering shadows. A feeble smile plays upon the lips of Mr. Class of ’38 as Cock Robin flies away. Three days later there appeared in the city newspaper a publication of the will which read as follows: I, Cock Robin, Class of ’37, do solemnly publish and declare this to be my last will and testament. 1. To Miss Hilson, the class of '37 extends its heartiest thanks and deepest appre- ciation for her kind assistance in making our annual a success. 2. To Miss Drew and Miss Hergt, my vote of thanks for their kind cooperation. 3. To Catherine Stinson, Janet Morlct leaves a wee bit of that blond luxury for which she is noted, just in case Katie should ever yearn for a decided change. 4. To the Brewer-Bruhn combination, the Witten-Wiener team bequeaths its shatter-proof quality. 5. Mildred Kirtley leaves a bit of her bubbly effervescence for Shirley Smith to stir in with her quietness. 6. Dorothy Boschen leaves her so-called drag” with Mr. Taylor to any future senior girl who happens to be signing her own death warrant by electing Chem” next year. 7. Russell Lewis very secretly turns over his way with the women” to Ted Marks who already seems to have a way of his own. 8. Gwyneth Griffin lends a portion of her ability to sell anything on earth to the junior who works hardest in the subscription campaign next year. 9. To Walter Mueller, Charles Steneken presents a few inches and also his car so that Walter shall have further to fall and further to spin. 10. A1 Sahrbeck will turn over a slice of his quiet manner to Jack Williams— or Heaven help the future seniors! 11. Janet and Otto leave theih fame to anyone who’d like it. Don’t crowd,” please! 12. To Dorothy Dorer, Dot Duff and Jane Dickie resign all claims to Charley’s Aunt.” 13. To next year’s football team, 1 pass on this year’s victories along with the flaming desire to smear” Columbia on Thanksgiving Day. 14. Fred Dilzell leaves his slick hair comb to Jim Stephens who simply will get Hitler hair-cuts! 15. Marie Cook transfers her ability to get along with football players to Peggy Ospenson who also displays a weakness for pigskin carriers. 16. Mary Jane Kchoe bequeaths a slice of her easy-going manner to Alberta Scherholz who is almost always seen hurrying somewhere. 17. Lillian Milligan hands down some of her quiet sweetness to the rompish reveller, June Hofstcad. 18. To the artistically inclined Betty Robinson, Jane Wiberalske leaves her paint set to brighten up the days for Miss Hergt. 19. With Bud Leadbeater’s cheerleading pep the rest of the team can go to town anJ bark again! 20. To next year’s senior biologists, Ruth Gladstone leaves her famous inorganic specimen, the happyrock.” 21. El” Gillett leaves the twinkle in her eye to Jean Roberts, who seems most likely to catch it. 22. Tom Higgins bequeaths his stardom to the dramatically talented Raymond Carlson. 23. Fred Brown relinquishes his Solid” ability to any over-ambitious junior who is planning to study it next year. 24. To Carl Baldwin, Cynthia Laidlaw hands down a few French r s all nicely rolled. 2 3. Bill Hooper has seen enough nickels, dimes, and quarters for one year. Take that cash register away, Jean! This is one time that Bill is glad to see the money slip through his fingers! 26. To Bill Bull who seems to be a little stiff, Chick” Gaskell leaves his Jack- be-nimble” style in tumbling. 27. Barbara Martin shall have for her own use Charlotte Andrews saying It's not red!” 28. To Joe Frciman, Red Tippett leaves his sporting joviality—especially at bas- ketball games. 29. Someone said With Russell Ford’s handsomeness, Warren Wells could con- quer the world.” Go to it, Warren! 30. Jane Dickie bequeaths just two or three of her history mistakes to Hans Keitel so that he won’t be too perfect. 31. Luella Robinson saves a slice of her willingness for Leonard Smith who, I am told, is sadly in need of it. 32. The Ballengers bequeath a few of their Esquire clothes to Donald Simpson so that the school will keep in mind what the well-dressed man is wearing. 3 3. Dotty King leaves Cynthia Howell her happy smile. You’ll never be blue now, Missy”! 34. To you, Russell Thompson, Dick Wiener leaves his logical reasoning which will help you to win the debate next year. 3 3. Harriet Doe bequeaths her George Bernard Shaw” nickname to Jean Lati- mer who is called just Legs.” 36. Ray Peterson leaves that cute wink for Tom McHugh to utilize as he sees fit. 37. What junior would like Anita’s dog collar? It goes to the highest bidder! The great question is: Will the well-dressed girl be wearing dog collars next year? 38. To all future seniors, 1, the Senior Class of ’37 leave the best of wishes for as happy a senior year as I have enjoyed. I also do hereby appoint that famed back-stage man. Jack Williams, executor of this, my last will and testament, and guardian of any of the legatees in this will during their minority. In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 23th day of June, 1937. Signed: Cock Robin, Class of ’37. ---IANF.
