FUES5 Ftt AX, FOREWORD Barges, heavily laden with supplies and fighting men, scrape ashore on the shell- scarred isles of the Pacific; robot bombs soar noiselessly over the Channel to plunge mercilessly u on the peaceful English countryside; mighty armies hurl themselves one against the other on the Eastern and Western Fronts of Germany—these are but a few of the grim realities of war that confront members of the fourth wartime graduating class of West Orange High School. While G.I. Joe has huddled in his cold, musty foxhole with shells and bullets whining overhead only to make ready for his next charge forward to a new objective, we, the class of 19 4% have snugly sat in our homes and school, taking advantage of the rights those men have been fighting and dying for. But the time has now come for us to take an active part in this great war. We must now be prepared to go, each to his own task, some of us to be part of that crew of men sloshing out of those landing barges upon foreign shores, some of us to become crewmen on B-29's soaring over Japan,, still others of us to become nurses in distant evacuation hospitals. And, when we have aided in bringing victory to this war-torn world, then will come a second battle, the more difficult battle of securing and keeping a lasting peace. But, as time draws us further and further away from our high school days, we shall not forget those happy school years; we shall remember West Orange High School, our true friend Mr. Reimherr, who was our first high school principal, our new principal Mr. Hearn and his able supervision and guidance, our teachers and their friendliness and attempts to educate us, the cramming sessions brought about by exams, the exciting football, basketball, and baseball games, our senior class play, Junior Miss, and numberless other events. And so in order that we may have a permanent record of these Blue Ribbon Days, I, W. O. Wilma, along with my brother, W. O. Willy, have written this diary, which I now pass on to you, my classmates, in the hope that it may afford you many pleasant hours in future years. DEDICATION To Mr. Hearn, our principal, we, the Class of ‘45, respectfully dedicate our 1945 West-O-Ranger. His words of advice and inspira- tion, concise and pointed, will stay with us always as guideposts on the road of life. Mr. Hearn was, until late in February, 1944, the principal of the Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. Following the untimely death of our principal, Mr. Reimherr, Mr. Hearn was selected to fill the vacancy. He has done an excellent job of supervising our school, and we hope that he will be as kind and generous to suceeding graduating elassescas he has been to us. We, therefore, wish to extend to Mr. Hearn our heartiest con- gratulations and humble thanks for his interest in us and for the joy he has given us. He does, indeed, possess the prime qualities which Wordsworth attributes to The Happy Warrior,0 for he is “Wise, steadfast in the strength of God, and true.” [6] SEPTEMBER Alas, vacation has passed away; The days are growing cool. Good-bye to the fun of the summer s day, For we re going back to SCHOOL! Spring has come again to our campus. What a relief after the snowbanks of last winter! Now the last flake of snow has melted, and the trees once again are clothed in their favorite color. The sun is warm; the sky, blue; and the grass, green— And what is so rare as a day in June? But there is less of the happiness of Springtime in W.O.H.S. this year; for War has broken into our happy family, and we’re missing many of the familiar faces of teachers and classmates. fUJ In school we have learned languages, mathe- matics, history, and many other subjects. But our most important lesson was that one which taught us to live as good citizens—a lesson of democracy. [12] Impatient and eager, we long to grow up and be inde- pendent in this great chal- lenging world. But we know that there will come a time when, with yearning hearts, we shall look back upon the happy carefree days spent in our high school. A place of companionship, a place of youthful joys, a place of friendly competition, but most important— a place of learning. SOLOMON C. STRONG Although Mr. Strong is seldom seen in the halls of the High School, we all feci his presence. Those special holidays, his moral support of school activities, his wise super- vision of the school system—these things re- mind us that Mr. Strong is always at work for our good. We’ve all seen evidence of his interest in and support of our football team by his regular attendance at games; and he is always ready to advise us on school affairs. Another fact about Mr. Strong, which few of us know, is his love of the country surround- ing our school and .the beautiful situation of the school. He was in the West Orange School System when the building was erected; and he has often referred since to the beauty and strength to be found in the surrounding hills seen from the school. nn Left to right: Mr. Rinehart, Colonel Barry, Mr. Strong. Our Principal RAYMOND E. HEARN Our principal, Raymond E. Hearn, was born in Edelman, Pennsylvania. He grew up to love pie a la mode, basketball, and baseball. He also harbor- ed a secret ambition to be- come a big league basebal player. While these three great loves were developing, Mr. Hearn was attending high school in Nazareth, Pennsyl- vania. Then the time came for him to spend two years at East Stroudsburg Normal School, after which he taught in Hackettstown, New Jersey; Windgap, Pennsylvania; and Nutley, New Jersey, for a number of years. After this, he took undergraduate work at Dickinson College where he majored in mathematics and physics, but decidedly preferred the former subject. Having received his Ph.B. at Dickinson, Mr. Hearn later obtained his M.A. at New York University. When the junior high school system was organized in West Orange ir. 1924, Mr. Hearn arrived just in time to become a teacher at the new Gaston Street Junior High School. He was soon made principal of Gaston. After five years in this position, Mr. Hearn was appointed the first principal of Roosevelt Junior High School, in which capacity he served until last year when he joined us at the high school. In addition to his work, Mr. Hearn enjoys singing. 1 like his mellow baritone voice. It is known only to a few of us that our principal at one time was seriously considering a career as a singer, and for three years he studied under Frederic Haywood of the Haywood Institute. While at college, he was a member of the Glee Club; and after college, a soloist at several churches in the metropolitan area. Mr. Hearn reached his peak in this field in 1926 when he gave a concert at Town Hall in New York City. However he not long after decided that a singing career was too much of a gamble for a married man; and so today we have Mrs. Hearn to thank for our capable principal. The following quotation is Mr. Hearn’s parting words to us seniors: The present high school pupil is.facing a very difficult but interesting future in which he will have problems to solve as well as opportunities to meet. At no time will a high school education be as important as after this war. Our Vice-Principal CHESTER H. WINE This year our high school is playing host to a new vice-princi- pal, Mr. Chester H. Wine. Born March 18, 1896, in Har- risonburg, Virginia, Mr. Wine at- tended public schools in that town and also in Winchester, Virginia, and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. While in high school, he transfer- red to Lebanon Valley Academy where he completed his secondary education. In 1914, upon comple- tion of his Junior Year at Lebanon Valley College, he enlisted in the United States Army and spent two years with the armed forces of the United States during which time he served one year in France. After the war he resumed his studies at Lebanon Valley College and was graduated in 1920 with the A.B. Degree. During college, his major subject was history; but he also found time to win his varsity let- ter in football and basketball. He began his teaching career at Allen- town Preparatory School at Allen- town, Pennsylvania, where he taught history and coached the athletic teams. From there he went to the high school at Connelsville, Pennsylvania. It was in Connels- ville that he met Mrs. Wine. He next became teacher and coach in the high schools in Latrobe, Penn- sylvania, and Monongahela, Penn- sylvania. In 1930 he came to West Orange High School to teach American History and Problems of American Democracy and to assist with the coaching of the football teams. He became principal- of Hazel Avenue School in 1932 where many of us West Orange High students became acquainted with him. He held that office until 1944 when he was made our vice- principal. He has taken post graduate work at the Teachers College, Columbia University and at Montclair State Teachers College, where he ob- tained the M.A. Degree. Bridge and golf constitute Mr. Wine’s favorite recreations. For his wise and sympathetic counsel and for his patient industry about our school, we give Mr. Wine our hearty thanks. [17] THET.MA V.

Though the records were not too good, our team out fought and out-gained some of the stronger teams in North Jersey and lost to teams who went on to gain championship ratings. West Orange lost its first game to a strong Irvington team 26-6. Our first touchdown was scored when Marty Horn threw a pass to Marshall. Boggio, who raced eighty-five yards to the enemy goal. Don Horn In the second game, our Cowboys beat a stub- born Clifford Scott team 13 6 for our first victory The following week the Cowboys lost a tough game to East Orange. Our team outplayed the Pan- thers all afternoon and lost by virtue of a long pass in the opening minutes of play. After East Orange, the Cowboys rode herd on Kearny by the score 31-6. Next, West Orange met and conquered their traditional rival. Orange. Orange jumped into an early lead; however, the fighting Cowboys came Kill the rtj! roaring back to score two touchdowns and win 13-6. The next week West Orange met South Side of Newark, a newcomer to the schedule. When the smoke of battle had cleared, the Cowboys were on top 23-7. JOE JANDOLI, who held down a tackle posi- tion, was outstanding all season and came up with a berth on the all-state team. Joe was on the bottom of every pile and many times made tackles with two and three opponents on his back. FRANK KONAK at the other tackle started the season at end. His shift to tackle improved our line greatly, and Frank went on to become one of the best tackles in the area. Another standout in the Cow- boy forward wall was CHARLIE SCHLAGER. Lefty’s fine blocking made possible many of West Orange’s scoring drives, and his hard defensive charge raised havoc with Cowboy opponents in every game. AL MORASSO, who filled the other guard slot with Schlager, was a hard-charging defensive player; and his all-around play contributed heavily to West Orange's offense. When our line stalwarts were benched, DICK MILLER and HERB WOLF filled in and did a bang-up job on both offense and defense. VINCE CITARELLIs sound defensive play at end proved important in several games this season, and MAT WHITEHEAD'S work at end was also highly acceptable. PETE IBSEN, the fastest man on the squad, aid a brilliant job at halfback. Pete’s long sprints in the Scott and Columbia games will be remembered. MARSHALL BOGGIO contributed West Orange’s offensive strength. Although Moose’’ seldom carried the ball, he paved the way with his blocking. MARTY HORN did the passing and kicking in addition to his signal calling chores. Marty was the team’s high scorer and gained all-state recognition.

She was so certain that her team was going to beat us; but I don’t see how they possibly could have, for they lacked good cheerleaders to inspire them on to victory. Our cheering squad is an unusually fine one. For instance, there is Bill Harvey, our captain. No- body can make the crowd cheer as Bill can. Maybe it’s that smile of his!! Then rhere are the others—Harold Baillie, George Sheridan, George Grove, Norm Diamond, Dick Fredericks, and Richard Kirk. No one can say that they ever lie down on their job. Of course, our team had a big finger in the victory pie; but they were always inspired by our good cheering. I don’t believe I’ll tell Pat about our secret weapon; I think I’ll just keep it to myself. After all, I ought to be entitled to one military secret. [30] MAIN OFFICE MA’AMS West Orange High School, like any successful corporation in the business world, relies on its efficient office staff to keep its many affairs in order and its business running smoothly. The impor- tant work of an office staff is more difficult than meets the eye and requires a great amount of patience and judgment if it is to be executed successfully. In this respect, we are, indeed, fortunate to have on our office staff Mrs. Condit, Miss Robertson, and Miss Eckles, three ladies of inestimable patience and good- will. Not taken up solely with their many duties, they listen to the students’ prob- lems, take messages, and dp a thousand and one extra things. Always ready to help the student, they are absolutely indispensable. We certainly appreciate the tireless effort We certainly appreciate the tir of the office staff in our behalf. Miss Ecclcs, Airs.

But the band doesn't con- fine itself to football games alone. The more dignified music I’ve heard lately issuing from the auditorium must mean that the annual concert is on its way. And yes- terday I overheard one of the band mem- bers saying that the band has played sixty times for the going-away ceremonies of new G.I.'s. That proves the band is doing its bit, too.

At last I am becoming used to seeing the little sophomores as they scurry through the halls, their loads of books often almost as large as they themselves. Accustomed to their small junior highs, they are now just becoming well acquainted with our ’big’' high and its many wings, rooms, and bells. At last, these not-too-innocent youths are learning that not doing homework, chewing gum, and being tardy to school ring down detentions upon their heads.

Holding the car down? Rehearsing for Roxy? Harmon, whose likeable personality has captivated everyone’s heart. To the office of vice-president, Robert Spengler, a popular fellow, was elected. The two young misses, Pat Moreland and Natalie Kenline, were tjiade secretary and treasurer. Smart children, these sophomores! They certainly made fine choices for officers and especially so in their treasurer. Since they have to keep their eyes on the treasury, the treasurer is certainly easy to look at. Although our sophomores may not agree with me, I think that some day they will look back at their Sophomore Days and say, Oh, to be a carefree sophomore again! Friends All All you need are wings. Motor trouble. Just returned from the drug store with some new snaps. My Goodness! would think high school students would know the alphabet by this time.

I think the juniors are the luckiest of all the students in this school. They aren’t the grandmas, the grandpas, and yet not the babies.

I guess the juniors are truly the select bunch. They have four very talented officers. Dick Hetherington, the president, is one of the top stu- dents and an all-'round good fellow. Phyllis Dayton, the vice-president, is another bright person who, in a large degree, has what we all wish for — it. Ann Palermo, the secretary, is one of the most efficient and capable girls in the Junior Class. Tom Buckingham, the treasurer, must be quite a fellow if the juniors are willing to trust him with their money bags! In addition to these amazing people, the Junior Class is studded with football, basketball, and other sports stars. Many of their members have provided the rest of us with spine-thrilling moments on the football field and the basketball courts.

DECEMBER Take a drift of falle ft Add a bit of holly, And stir with a twig of mistletoe, For a Christmas that is jolly! snow, © OSCAR AIMERS Not only was Christmas in the air tonight, but also the Senior Class's presentation of Junior Miss. Standing in the back of the auditorium, I heard only the pleasant murmuring of before curtain time conversation; but upon making my way backstage, I heard anything but pleasant murmuring. In Mrs. Terry's office (which was tonight known as the make-up room) I heard masculine shouts and feminine voices raised in argument. When I, at last, made my way through the crowd to the door, I saw the male members of the cast being subjected to the most feminine of femininity—they were having lipstick put on. Never underestimate the power of Mrs. Terry. Allan Grogan, Louise Praebe I [M] Marion Husid, Dolores Monica Caroline Hinchman, Nick Vecchio, Jane Perry Kitty Kocher [� ] Having satisfied my curiosity as to the cause of the clamor, I looked about. There, behind stage, with a reassuring smile on her face, was our director, Miss McCloskey. How anyone could smile quietly and look so calm as Miss McCloskey did tonight, I’ll never know. After the six weeks of hectic re- hearsing that she had patiently directed, it is a wonder she could even stand, let alone smile. Yet there she was, giving everyone an encouraging smile. Beyond Miss McCloskey was a group of people that were hard to recognize, even though they all were my classmates—Janet Heller (Judy Graves) and Anna Mae Downey (Fluffy Adams), both with pigtails, Ruby Haines (Ellen Curtis), Nancy Nimm- eke (Grace Graves) with wrinkles, Bill Fuess (Har- ry Graves) with wrinkles and a mustache, and Nick Vecchio (J. B. Curtis) with wrinkles, a mustache, and grey hair. In another group, I easily recognized Louise Fraebel (Lois Graves), for she played the part of a girl of her own age, and Marion Husid (Hilda) except for her Brooklyn accent; however, I took longer to discover that Bill Haney (Willis Reynolds) was the pale-faced individual with wrinkles. Bob Archer (Merrill Feurbach), Francis Laing (Joe), Allan Grogan (Haskell Cummings), Bill Stellenwerf (Barlow Adams), Alan Grobert (Sterling Brown), Lester Bauer (Albert Kunody), Jim Mooney (Tommy Arbuckle), Richard Fredericks (Telegraph boy), Thorton Howard (Henry), and Pete Ibsen (Charles), looked the same except for a slight flush on their cheeks and lips caused partly by excitement, partly by Mrs. Terry’s masterful touch. Although members of the cast were signing pro- grams and joking before curtain time, others were not. Prop girls were dashing to and fro looking for the cake and milk that were needed and casting sus- picious eyes on the stage crew. Having assured the girls that they did not eat that particular prop, the boys of the stage crew, under the able guidance of Mr. Williams, swung hammers skillfully to make last minute repairs.

O] When the final curtain call had been taken, everyone—the cast, prop girls, stage crew, ushers, costume girls—everyone connected in any way with the Senior Class drew a sigh of relief and satisfaction.

If you could have heard the A Cappella Choir in assembly, you would, no doubt, have been inspired, too. Why, it was wonderful! Never have I heard Christmas carols sung so beautifully. The audience was allowed to participate in some of the songs, but something was lacking—perhaps the reason was that they drowned out the choir. However, a member of the choir discouraged me. Perhaps she was afraid of what my voice would do to the choir; at any rate, she was very diplomatic. She told me that although everyone enjoys himself in choir, still, there is work to be done. Upon hearing the choir sing in assembly or at a concert, an out- sider doesn't realize that weeks have been spent in rehearsal. Even this hasn’t changed my mind; if Lily Pons can spend hours practicing, so can I. A Cappella Choir, here I come!

It is the instrument by which we express our opinions on the management of that remarkable institution, West Orange High School. Three cheers for the red and the white (pardon me, I’m in an extremely ’’alma-matriotic mood today). The congress is made up of two representatives from each homeroom. These representatives elect from their midst a council of sixteen members to deal with the more intricate problems that arise during the course of business. The seniors are al- lowed eight councilmen of the sixteen because of their superiority—ahem—of age. The juniors may have only four members on the council. The humble sophs have four also. The original homeroom repre- sentatives also select a chairman to preside over their meetings. This year, Adele Fleming serves in this capacity and capably fulfills her duties. Recently, a special committee was appointed to draw up a constitution of rules and bylaws to which the members may adjust themselves for the smooth management of their internal affairs. As I write this, nothing definite has been accomplished; how- ever, from all reports, I understand that the com- mittee is sweating it out and ought to have some- thing concrete to show for its efforts in the near future. On the shoulders of our congressmen rests the responsibility of working out the needs, desires, and requests of their patrons—that’s we, the pupils. For example, when we wanted a Hallowe’en Dance in October, congress responded by arranging a super- colossal shindig, if you’ll excuse my Hollywood- ese.” Music, dancing, entertainment bv talented citi- zens of West Orange High School, cider and dough- nuts all added to the festivity of the occasion. To use a trite but true expression—a good time was had by all. But our loyal representatives did not stop here in their plans for our entertainment. Not so long ago, they presented the one-act play, Submerged,” as their contribution to our Assembly Program ef- fort. The cast included Billings Fuess, Stewart Grove, Stanley Udy, Milton Manshell and Robert Archer. The intense drama was well performed and met w'ith quite a reception! Quite a reception! Mr. Fuller, a faculty adviser of the Student Congress, skillfully directed the play. This is just the beginning of the activities of the Student Congress; so clear the decks for action!

[69] JANUARY Hi, there, Mr. 45! Lend an ear, we pray. Gift us with the best of luck; MID YEARS are on the way! lAJ WestQpangf TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE Remember that battle, girls. It was a hard fight, but I made it. Or did I? That exam certainly was hard! How the teachers can think up questions which seem like a foreign language to us is beyond me. After all, we’re not all Einsteins. After spending last evening burning the mid- night oil and then tossing about in my bed for the rest of the night, I forced myself to hurry to school in order to get my nose into my book in a last effort to get knowledge. And the nearer I got to my destination, the more rapidly my mind moved [72] Tiro o'clock and all is well—or is it? Time out for eats and— into a state of complete blankness. Then came that awful moment when those big, forbidding, mimeo- graphed sheets were handed out. The dates, 1607, 1763, 1778 (or was it 1787?) all whirled through my mind. But which was which—that was the ques- tion. When two or three hours had dragged by, I rose, weak in my knees, and stumbled from the room, relieved and yet troubled. That last question certainly did take the breath out of me. And then as I closed the door, inspiration struck. Of course, it was Columbus who discovered America in 1492.

WEST ORANGE HIGH SCHOOLS basketball team under the coaching of Cliff Wynkoop compiled one of the best records in years and ended with a record of eight wins and eight losses. The Cow- boys started off perfectly with an overtime upset against Bloomfield. Orange handed the team its first defeat, but Belleville was the victim of another overtime upset. Columbia, Bloomfield Tech, and [80] Weequahic conquered the Cowboys in quick order; but the team came back to whip the Alumni and to take a return game from Bloomfield Tech. Columbia again defeated West Orange, and the Belleville boys gained revenge for their earlier defeat. A weak Irv- ington team provided easy meat for the Cowboys. In one of the thrilling games of the year, West Orange was beaten by one point by a heavily favored East Orange team. The Cowboys suffered a letdown after this game and were soundly beaten by Orange. Montclair was the team’s next victim; and in a re- turn engagement with East Orange, West Orange finally upset them by one point. The Cowboys marked the close of their season by beating Mont- clair again by 16 points. The starting five for West Orange consisted most of the year of VINNIE SANTUCCI, JOHN KUZIK, KEN MURRAY, LEFTY SCHLAGER, and NORM DAYTON. However, right behind these boys were NICK CORBY and MARSHALL DEAN. Santucci was the team’s captain and led everyone in scoring. Schlager and Kuzik handled the guard positions. They were responsible for the setting up of the team’s plays. The forward positions were held down by Santucci and Murray, who both did a fine job. Dayton, who is six foot five, was at center.

That means that the Philo and Clio Literary Societies will be meeting in the library during activity period. I hope that we don't have any arguments between Philo and Clio about the highest average. Tomorrow’s meeting is in charge of Bill Fuess, Philo’s president, one of the very meager supply of men we have left. Clio's president, Dick Snyder, will have a vacation for the day. If Bill is otherwise engaged, Evelyn Hart, Philo’s vice-president, will have to take over the meeting. The other officers of Philo, the secretary, Nancy Nimmcke, who does an efficient and orderly job of keeping the minutes straight, and the treasurer, Renee Broder, who has a job to keep all of Philo’s wealth’’ in the proper condition (out of the red ink!) will have to help tomorrow, too. Philo's officers will have a vacation; Marion Poller, the vice-president, Elizabeth Ann Ramsden, the secretary, and Nancy Lewis, the treasurer, can all take it easy.” After the serious part of the meeting, Helen Arnstein and Janet Heller, program chairmen of Philo and Clio respectively, will put on a good enter- tainment. I hope we don’t have to give speeches. The last time I talked at a meeting 1 had to speak about cows! I almost forgot! Bill Fuess wants us to plan an assembly program for May third. We don’t know what to put on; but it will be good, never- theless. I can hardly wait until the next meeting. (It’s the fourth Wednesday, you know.) We are going to discuss plans for the annual banquet at which the cup is presented to the club with the higher average. Well also appoint the initiation commit- tee. Its members will have the wonderful job of initiating the new members! The only bad thing about the banquet is that Mrs. Nock and Miss Mc- Closkey, faculty advisers of Philo and Clio respec- tively, say that we will have to eat sandwiches in- stead of turkey—rationing, you know! icc-P dent; r-rs ,rea ur«r’ ..

The Library Council is one job we aren’t drafted for; but at a hearty call for volunteers, we fall in.

MUSCULAR MARYS I guess there isn't any girl in this school who doesn’t know about the stiff legs and sore backs that follow the physical education exercises. And I know there isn’t one of us who hasn’t groaned as she has tried to touch her fingers to her toes which seem surprisingly far away. But we don’t really mind the exercises since we know how much good they do us. I even heard that some of the more ambitious girls are doing exercises at home to keep that stream- lined look. But, of course, our entire gym program isn’t made up of exercises. They’re only a small part of it. I remember last fall the fun we had playing soccer. Lots of us found it hard to remember not to use our hands; but after much practice we im- proved, and some of us even became what you might call good. We also enjoyed some rugged games of hockey during the fall months before Old Man Winter drove us into the gym. The classes were so large this year that Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Craig, our advisers, had to divide them into two parts, each teacher taking a section. While one group is playing, the other dresses, checks books, and looks over the day’s plans. Thanks to this arrangement we still have enough room to play any of the games that were scheduled. The most popular game last winter was volley- ball. With days of practice behind us we started a tournament to find the best volleyball team in the school. Of course, we all tried hard; but we couldn’t all win. Besides volleyball we played Ping- Pong, Pin Ball, Six Passes and Shoot, Cage Ball, and other indoor games. [96] Home Run. But it was the wide open spaces for us again when spring arrived; and naturally the biggest at- traction was that great American sport, baseball. Even the mighty Casey would have been proud of the spirit we put into our games; and I'm certain he would have overlooked those occasional strikes and errors. Other sports which rated high this spring were archery and swimming. Swimming classes were held at the Orange Y.W.C.A. throughout the school year by the collaboration of the High School and the Y. Everybody from beginners to life savers found a class suited to her ability. Something new has been added to our gym schedule this year—in fact, two new things; and we think they're wonderful. A very popular addition is our monthly social dancing day. That's the day we plug in the phono- graph, start a jive record spinning, grab a partner, and get in the groove. There are also lots of records by popular crooners, such as, Sinatra and Crosby for the girls who prefer their music soft and sweet. On other days we arrange ourselves in sets of four couples and try our hand at square dancing. It may be very different from jitterbugging; but it takes just as much energy as modern rug-cutting, if not more, we have discovered. The second new addition to the gym schedule is socialized classes. Once a marking period we spruce up with clean gym suits, carefully combed locks, and freshly applied lipstick to join the fellows in mixed games. Of course, the boys don't play against the girls; that wouldn’t be fair. Each team is composed of both boys and girls. During the winter we played volleyball and danced; and in the spring, of course, we played baseball. In looking back over this year I'd say that we learned a lot, indulged in plenty of healthful exer- cise, and had a lot of fun. Perfect symmetry. Hold It! AFTER-SCHOOL PERIODS For those of us who particularly liked a certain sport or who wanted to improve our game, after- school periods were provided. Hockey was a big favorite last fall, together with soccer. During the winter months the basketballs were pumped up for another session on the court. But basketball wasn’t the only attraction of the winter after-school sports. There were also volleyball contests and a ping-pong tournament that lured many hopeful contestants, in- cluding me. When spring arrived, we naturally started pitching softballs around the baseball dia- mond and building up our batting averages. Also bows and arrows were removed from their cases for our female William Tells. For each seasonal sport in which a student takes part, she receives a certain number of points. When her total number of credits reaches four hundred, she receives her numerals; and to those girls who have really worked hard to earn eight hundred points, blocks are awarded. A special gold pin is given to the senior girl who is graduated with the highest number of credits; and a silver pin to the girl who attains second place. [98] LAZY LATINS I can hardly wait until tomorrow, for we are going to initiate the new members of the Spanish Club. We are also going to plan our assembly pro- gram, A Glimpse of Old Mexico.” I hope this turns out to be as big a success as the trip to New York was. The movie we saw was very enjoyable, even if we didn’t understand it; but the Mexican dinner was the best part of the trip. We really have efficient officers this year. Our president and vice-president, Bill Stellinwerf and Rita Goldberg, make all our meetings interesting. Marilyn Liljestrand is our secretary; and our treasur- er, Mildred Kennedy, also serves as refreshment provider. I wish I were still going to be a member next year. More and more students are including Spanish in their curriculum, and our Spanish Club is becom- ing bigger and better.

Our Assembly Council has, this year, been func- tioning as usual. At the beginning of the year the members organized themselves into seven commit- tees, each with a chairman and one senior, one junior, and one sophomore representative. They meet every Monday and discuss coming programs. If the following Thursday assembly program is being prepared, they have nothing to worry about. If there is no program being made ready, Miss Eaton and the Council whip some clever idea into shape. Today after school, I walked into 203; and I walked right into a council meeting. Anna January, Miss President, was calling for ideas; and was she getting them! The Council has asked each club and depart- ment in school to arrange a program. The idea has been so well received that some people who are not connected with any special group have taken over a Thursday morning. We have had a great many interesting programs, such as, the demonstration by the Coast Guard, the presentation of international folk songs, the discussion by a returned veteran, and the talk by an alumna. Our own school talent has also made us conscious of many potential actors, actresses, musicians, and comedians right in our own West Orange High School. The programs have been planned for the rest of the year, and the Assembly Council is sitting back and enjoying Thursday mornings with the rest of us. [106] THE FUTILE FRENCHMEN Twice a month, on Monday afternoons, strains of the Marseillaise” may be heard floating through the school. La Societe Fran aise is at that time hold- ing one of its semi-monthly meetings. The club was organized for several reasons: it affords an oppor- tunity for those of us with the common interest, France—its language, customs, history, geography, and culture—to meet and discuss ideas: it enables us to add to our knowledge of French civilization; and general knowledge but also provide good fun are played; and ideas are exchanged—all this in French with only an occasional lapse into English. Refreshments, hot chocolate and cookies, in accord with the true French style, are served. We are making plans so that each member can correspond with a French-Canadian student. The group also hopes to be able to present an assembly program before the end of the year. and it increases our proficiency in the use of the language itself. At the first meeting we elected this year's of- ficers. Evelyn Hart was chosen to be president, and Lester Bauer, vice-president. The secretary is Stanley Udy. The club was opened to anyone who takes French II or French III and to people who have had two years of French but who are not studying French at present. Once a month the meeting is planned by an ever- changing entertainment committee. At one such meeting the members of the French III Class pre- sented their delightful adaptation of Guy de Mau- passant’s famous short story, La Parure.” Not only did the four members of the class rewrite and act the play, but also they took care of all scenery, properties, costumes, makeup, and lights. Mrs. Veit, of course, gave invaluable assistance. At other meetings French folk songs are sung; games which not only improve vocabulary, grammar.

Miss Alien and her Chien [107] David Le tvts. 1 an Hixson One day, two or three months ago, Jane and I were walking through the first floor hall on an errand for one of the teachers. Just as we reached the center doors of the auditorium, such squeaks, thuds, blasts, and groans greeted us as one seldom hears. We were stunned. 1 didn’t know whether to ring the fire alarm or to holler Air Raid!” and fall flat on my face. Jane was braver than I. She opened the door cautiously and peered into the room. Then she began to laugh. I looked in to see what could be so funny. What confronted us was a ronglomeration of violins, violas, trumpets, trom- bones, horns, clarinets, drums, and people—each striving to be heard above the other. Dean (that’s our pet name for our director, Mr. Butterfield) was about to take things into his own hands with a word of advice to all.

We often wonder how Mr. Butterfield is ever able to survive. Our orchestra, however, does contain a group of exceptionally gifted musicians. Our solo cornetist, first clarinetist, and pianist have already made them- selves known to the music world; they should go very far in their respective branches of music. We all, I am sure, wish them and the other members of this group all the luck in the world. Many of our musicians have also been honored by being chosen to play in the All-State Orchestra and Band. The members of the West Orange High School Orchestra have played everywhere from Parent- Teachers' Meetings, Teachers' Conventions, and as- sembly programs to solo concerts. West Orange has every right to be proud of its orchestra; and from what I have heard, pride is exhibited in the com- ments of everyone.

It’s too early to make any pre- dictions on the coming tennis season. Last year's squad, considered the best in West Orange history, was hit hard by the graduation of the first three men; but we expect that most of our opponents suffered in the same manner. Mr. Otto, our new coach, who played varsity tennis at Rutgers, was happy to see two veterans return from last year’s team. They were Rob Roff and Hank White with the possible addition of Gus Riedinger, who is slated for the Navy. Transportation will still remain a hurdle to consistent practice, but the boys hope to equal last year's fine record. This consisted of nine wins, three by forfeit, and three losses. The scores of these games were: Teams W.O. Visitors Teams W.O.

After a slow start last spring, the team settled down to make the best record of all the teams in this area. It did not lose a series of matches. It defeated Millburn, the Suburban Conference champions, twice; and it had a higher score for two matches than Bloomfield, supposedly the strongest team in North Jersey. The team displayed fighting spirit when it came from behind to take matches from Bloomfield and Millburn. The team was very green last year, as it had only one holdover from '43’s Varsity; but this year all six places on the Varsity will be filled by boys who played last year. They are Bernt Benson, Tom Kelley, Turner Tallak- sen, Dick Snyder, Gordon Tallaksen, and Allen Grogan, the captain. This team had a combined average of 83 for last year's play. The low averages were Grogan's 79.8, Keljey’s 82.8, and Benson's 82.9. The team had no individual star, and it was nip and tuck as to who should be on the Varsity. The Cowboys whitewashed both Caldwell and Verona in compiling their record of 10 wins and one loss; and they were even able to split the team into two squads and win a dual match from Caldwell and Passaic Valley on the same day. The fact that the team scored 147 points to its opponents’ 29 should show that it is loaded with ability. The first four boys were never outdriven consistently in any match. Allen Grogan is a long hitter and an accurate iron player. His 76 over Rock Spring was the decisive factor in the end of the dual match against Passaic Valley. Tom Kelley, the number two man, is a long, straight hitter and a deadly putter. His 78 over Mountain Ridge inspired the team's victory in the end of the dual match against Caldwell. Bernt Benson, the number three man, is a distance player who uses a slow hook on all of his shots; and he supplied the winning points in the team’s second match with Verona by playing the Number 2 nine at Montclair in 36. Turner Tallaksen, who will play number four, is a dependable player who always delivers the necessary points. Dick Snyder and Gordon Tallaksen did not play regularly last year, but they gave sign of developing into steady players who will always come through in the clutch. The Cowboys are fortunate to have lost only two boys from last year’s varsity. They are Jack Tompson, the number four man, and Ronnie Boetsh, who alternated with Dick Snyder at six. Bernt Bensen Air.

About the School JUNE And now another June has come, Tinged a bit with sorrow; For we turn away from Yesterday And look upon Tomorrow. But thru the years our memories On high school days will dwell; And it's with laughter and with tears, We bid it all farewell. FLORENCE TALMADGE SENIOR CLASS June twenty-second is almost here, and I feel rather sad; for this is not just another date—it is the June twenty-second, the date of our graduation. We have completed twelve years of schooling in all, and three years in our high school. What a wonderful three years it has been! In spite of the fact that the war began in the middle of our Freshman year, and all our lives were some- what sobered by world affairs, we have managed to lead as normal a life as possible in these times. We [122] AL DECKENBACH Class Treasurer have all done our part—Jo sold war bonds and stamps. Gee-Gee is a Nurses’ Aide, Bill has made games Tor wounded soldiers, and everyone put his milk bottle wires in the metal savings box. You know, we all say how happy we shall be when we leave school; but I wonder. Down deep in my heart, I know I’m going to miss it all—the eight-thirty bell, passing notes in study, the noisy lunch periods, the Senior Prom, the hilarious assem- bly programs. Nothing—the Army, the Navy, college—nothing will be the same as our three years’ stay at the high school. What brought on all this reflection? Well, today was an eventful ore, for today we elected the officers Qf the Senior Class. That is, we had the fastest elec- tion on record; for, relying on their efficient adminis- tration, we simply voted to keep the same officers who guided us through our Junior Year. For president, we again chose Bill Harvey, whose ready smile and sparkling personality are known throughout the school. Bill seems to be a natural leader. Alfred Morasso, our vice-president, is just suited for he job because a vice-president should be calm, pleasant, and ready to take over. Anyone who knows A1 will agree with our choice. Because of his quiet, steady manner, people have faith in Marty Horn, our secretary, and that faith is always justified, be it on the football field or at a Senior Meeting. Taking care of money must be getting monoto- nous for Albert Deckenback, who has been our treasurer for three years. So there they are, our senior officers.
