WEST ORANGE HIGH SCHOOL St °a IV In future years, when fond memories shall carry us back to those best years of our lives, our high-school days shall seem, perhaps, like something almost illusive, yet tangible—a sort of fantasy, yet a reality. Still, in the future, as we recall our school life, may it become so vivid that it will be as a drama—joyous, yet serious—a drama in which each one of us plays a part as he struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. And that these memories may be the more vivid, we in our 1946 West-O-Rangcr have re-enacted, through photographs and writings, the scenes in which we played our parts at West Orange High School and thus have made it possible for all, through imagination, to return to see the play over again.” The band, just one of many organiza- tions, plays at our jootbal! games and puts all other bands to shame. God gave His children memory That in life’s garden there might be June’s roses in December. P ge 4 G. A. Kennedy The Administration of our School is carried on by such popular people as Mr. Hearn.

DIRECTOR OF THE PRODUCTION cL omen Many times when the snow is gently falling on the ground, one can be certain that the students of West Orange arc waiting hopefully for the news that school will be closed. Who is it that decrees the close of school? Why, it is none other than Mr. Solo- mon C. Strong, the superintendent of the West Orange Schools. This, however, is only one of the many tasks that Mr. Strong has performed in his loyal service to us of West Orange. Because of all he does for us, we feel his presence in the school even though we do not actually see him very often. We, the students of the Class of 19 46, wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Strong for all that he has done tor West Orange boys and girls in his long and faithful service. Page 13 Thou wcrt my guide, philosopher, and friend.” Mr. Hearn's devotion to all phases of school life makes him our good friend, one we depend upon for real help. Due to his fine ideals of democratic living we now have many school organizations, which teach us how to live together. In his brief stay here, he has made himself well liked by students and teachers alike. Mr. Hearn counsels us: Atomic energy, television, radar, and, who knov perhaps a trip to the moon are just around the corn The world you face is full not only of complexities ai problems but of opportunities and adventures. What yi have learned here, valuable as it may be, is only a begi ning. Know what you want, select a goal, and wo toward it. Use your talents and your training diligent and all will be well. To you, the Class of '46, the Victc Class, we bid Godspeed with sincere wishes for happin and success.” General Manager RAYMOND E. HEARN Whether it is to explain why we are late to school or to ask advice, the students of West Orange always find Mr. Wine a patient, understanding listener, one who is ever ready to discuss our problems and offer advice. With the Class cf ’46, Mr. Wine leaves the following mes- sage: During your high school course, we not only have given you academic training but have tried to develop in you self guidance through reflective thinking. After graduation, a vast field of opportunity will be opened to you; and your success in life will largely depend upon your ability to get along with people, a knowledge of what to say and when to say it, of what to do and when to do it. Good luck to you in your new adventure. Page 15 WALTER ASPER State Teachers’ College Trenton. N. J.. B.S. Mathematics ELLEN BENDER East Stroudsburg, Fa.. State Normal School B.S.

Mrs. Condit, Mi Si Eider The West Orange High School Office is the nucleus of our school life from the day of our entrance into high school until our departure at graduation. On its staff are Mrs. Condit, Miss Robertson, and Miss Eccles, whom we find responsible for the patience, understanding, and efficiency with which our office functions. We are well acquainted with their services rendered to us daily: their signing our slips for absence, tardi- ness, or early dismissal, their relaying messages to us, their typing of our daily bulletins, their assigning detentions when necessary, their sending our recommendations and records to the colleges, their giving aid to the job-hunters, and of course —delivering our lunches and umbrellas without which we so often rush off from home in the morning. Besides these, they have hundreds of unseen jobs of which we students seldom know. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation to these loyal ladies for their beneficial guidance throughout our best three years.

The cast is composed of the Senior Class of West Orange High School, some of whom may, some day, be second George Arlisses or a Helen Hayes in the play of life. e When we, who had been like wild colts in Junior High School, entered Senior High and passed through the wide front doors with giant-like seniors, perhaps we felt a little bit apprehensive. Soon, however, we became used to the daily routine and settled down. Then came the next September; and we were happy, carefree Jun- iors, not being pushed around like Sophomores, but not carrying so much responsibility as Seniors. Finally the end of the line came, and we assumed extra tasks. In order to carry these burdens to their destination, we had need of capable leaders. Ever since the graduating class came together as Sophomores, it has been blessed with outstanding leadership. That our class has not only discussed, but also acted and carried out its projects, is Page 26 THE PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS attested by many accomplishments. We have helped form the Student Congress and have raised it from a weak or- ganization to the most powerful one in school. Dances and other activities, which make life enjoyable and interesting, have received our management. This year our officers have been as follows: Bob Schla- ger — president, Jerry Simon — vice-president, Harriet Wilson — secretary, and Dick Hetherington — treasurer. Bob, our president, is very energetic; he gets things done. Unassuming and generally quiet, he is likely to as- tonish you by his fearlessness. His experience in making dances go over has greatly aided him in becoming one of our best leaders. Our vice-president, Si,” is not afraid of work. To prove that, one needs only to look at his record. Besides that, he is universally liked and respected. One of the hardest workers in school is Harriet, our secretary. Her happy nature is reflected in herself; her conscientiousness is reflected in her unusual scholastic rec- ord. Everybody likes Harriet. Dick, our treasurer, was our Junior president. His ver- satility is remarkable: everything he starts, he finishes; and everything he does, he does well. Knowing his prowess at math, and knowing that he plans to become an actuary, we feel perfectly safe with our money in his capable hands. This team has done a good job in spite of adverse con- ditions. Evaluation made it impossible to hold the Senior Prom on its accustomed date; therefore, plans were made to hold in June a substitute prom—the Senior Farewell. And, to everybody's delight, the annual trip up the Hud- son is being arranged. When one looks at these records, he sees that our cap- tains have, indeed, steered us carefully to our final desti- nation. rrr Page 27 WILLIAM ABBOTT Bill Take life easy; tomorrow is another day.

Page 72 THE JUNIORS Neither too young nor too old, but just right! The Jolly Juniors,” as our middle- men «ire known, arc often considered the most fortunate and typical of high school stu- dents. They have left behind their bewildering Sophomore Year. They know where all the class rooms are located, even those in the wings; they have mastered the intricacies of the cafeteria and snatch ice cream, straws, milk, and cookies with the accomplished air of the veterans; they have learned the advantages of division of labor (Pat gets the milk while Nancy saves seats) ; they manage to discover what is in the bulletin before the official disclosure in home room; and they know just how long they can afford to chat with Betsy and still be in time for class. Learning these things has made them familiar with school life. They develop confidence, but not the complete, often irritating, self- assurance of the Seniors. They are still very much a part of the high school world with graduation at some distance in the future. The Juniors are to be found in strong num- bers at all the social functions of the school.

O' UUUcrvO It is hard to realize that just two short years ago we were sophomores. Mien we look at today’s sophomores, they all seem so little to us. Once, we ere their size; we entered W.O.H.S. a little dazed but soon became accustomed to our perplexing schedules; we agitated for a Sophomore Dance; and we thought many of the same thoughts they are thinking today. However, we soon became cosmopolites of the school order and learned to be proud of our school. As sophomores we also elected our class officers.

However, we voted for and elected four officers who. in the next three years, turned out to be among the foremost students in our class. This year’s sophomores, the class of ’48, also elected the following class officers: Douglas Slingerland, president; William Burgess, vice-president; Caroline Schott, secretary; and William Gentilesco, treasurer. Those of us seniors who know these sophomore officers are sure that they, too. shall set a high standard for their fellow classmates.

The results follow. . . . EL- Goth “WEST ORANGE COWBOYS” When the dust of the battle had cleared, the West Orange Cowboys of 194 had closed a very odd, but successful season. After the first three games had been played, West Orange had a record of no wins, no losses, and three tics. Against their first opponent, Irvington, the Cowboys, although greatly outweighed and picked as the underdogs, outplayed Irvington throughout the entire game. Against her next opponent, Clifford Scott, West Orange met a very good club; and the game was played on a field completely covered by water. In this game the Cowboys came off the field, not only with another scoreless tie, but also with the loss of their star fullback, Bob Peacock, who was accidentally kneed in the stomach, an accident which caused a split spleen. The third opponent was East Orange, who was outplayed by West Orange; and at one time West Orange thought she had a touchdown, but unluckily the play was called back. Then the spell was broken. When West Orange met Kearny, she at last found herself and put on a drive that ended with Knoebel’s carrying the ball from Kearny’s four yard line onct the goal line. Thus. West Orange won her first score 13-0. In Orange, West Orange met an outstand- ing ball club; and even though Orange used an unorthodox defense, the game was very evenly played. From one long drive. Orange put over a touchdown and also earned her extra point, giving her a winning score of 7-0. When the Cowboys met The South Side Boys, they were really out for their opponents’ hides and showed what they could do by scoring one touchdown in the first and last quarters and two touchdowns in the second and third quarters. When the battle ended. West Orange was victorious 37-6. The next week West Orange was to meet Montclair; but during the week flu spread among the players and left only nine out of thirty-three players in condition to play. The game was, therefore, postponed to December 1. Because of Montclair’s greatly outweighing the Cowboys” and be- cause of the sloppy field. West Orange was unable to pass or run the ends and came off the field defeated 12-0. With a week’s lay-off. West Orange came into the Westfield game not quite up to par. Therefore, when the final gun went off, a strong Westfield eleven had defeated West Orange 14-0. The Thanksgiving Day Game was postponed to the following Saturday because of a wet field. In this game West Orange played a terrific brand of football. She scored her first touchdown on a pass from Horn to Wilson, a play that covered forty yards. Her second touch- down was made by Ibsen on a thirty-five yard dash around end. Both of the touchdown plays were special plays and executed perfectly. Although West Orange then led 12-0, Columbia did not give up; and, after scoring a touchdown and the extra point, they were threatening to score again when alert, big Dick Cohen fell on a Columbia fumble Page 90 I up row: Managers V.

In addition to the six boy cheerleaders there were six vivacious girls. These girls were selected the preceding spring by the students of West Orange High School from a large group who tried out for the honor. We think our twelve cheerleaders did a wonder- ful job, not only at the football games, but also at the basketball and baseball games. They came out to every game to cheer our team to victory. They cheered, minus shoes, in a downpour of rain at the Clifford Scott game. They were all-around good sports, and we are proud that they represent the fighting spirit of West Orange High School. Because of this, we think that our cheerleaders deserve a cheer! Let's give a Three Yay, Cheer- leaders!” for Captain Harold Baily, Dick Kirk, George Grove, George Sheridan, Bobbie Edmonds, Merlin Fenning, Betty Euler, Barbara Herter, Adelc Fleming, Joyce Amberg, Eileen Kelly, and Peggy Brown.

Owr rrazj antics and loud cheering are just our ways of trying to spur our team on to victory. BASKET Saw Gnilo Ke?i Murray Paced by Ken Murray, their elongated center. West Orange High School’s Basketball Team com- piled the best record in years. With but one game left to play, West Orange has a record of 10 wins against -4 setbacks. The two highlight games of the year were both won by West Orange. The fighting Cowboys downed a strong Weequahic team 40 to 39 and later trounced Orange 44 to 42. In the former game Ken Murray poured 23 points through the hoop to pace the at- tack, and in the latter game Murray contributed 20 points. However, one man doesn’t make a team; and there were eleven other capable ball players on the squad. At right forward was Frenchy Fortier, a scrappy floorman with a good one-handed shot from way out. At the other forward was Al Purcell, a fair retriever off the backboards. In the back court was Gordon Tallaksen Page 100 BALL Sam Gaito, one of the best defensive men on the team, and the boy who set up the plays. The other guard spot was capably handled by Gordon Tallaksen, who took the place of his cousin Turner, who was hurt in the Columbia game. Bob Peacock was another smooth ball handler and pop shot artist. These six players were supported by such outstanding substitutes as Norm Rackett, Fred Knoble, Walt Sickle, Joe Girome, and Bernie Frank. This aforenamed team was a credit to our school and won games from the very best competition that could be obtained.

For proof, let us take a look at these teams in action. Row 1: George Stoukas, Waller Sickcl, David O'Neil, Hdward Swinson, Fred Knocbel, Sam Gaito, Ken Murray. Hob Peacock, Roger Howell, Al Purcell. Fred Folkes. Row 2: Fred Stichling, Tim Robison, I rnie J.llison, Richard Thomas. Fred Stiles, Bob Odgers, Fred McCauley, Bob Spangler, Joe Girone. I Inward Rowett.

On April 16, the West Orange baseball team will take the held against Montclair in the first game of the 19 16 season. In this pre-season report, prospects for the team are bright, indeed. Under the leader- ship of Coach James O'Keefe, West Orange expects to produce a team worthy of tournament competition. The team boasts such strength as: the flawless fielding of shortstop Freddie Folkes, the powerful slugging of Fred Knoebel, star outfielder, and the tricky curve ball of Red Hoeren, star twirler of the 1945 mound corps. These boys are all returning letter men. The team will be strengthened by Sam Gaito, who has first call behind the plate. Tall Ken Murray will handle first base. George (Scooter) Stoukas has the inside track at second base. Much is expected of this newcomer. His good fielding, rifle arm, and potency at the plate will be counted on heavily in the coming season. Dependable Fred Folkes will be at the shortstop, and Roger Howell will tend the hot corner. The outfield will consist of Knoebel, Bob Peacock, and that all-round athlete, Al Purcell. They will be ably assisted by hard-hitting Bobby Spangler. Red Hoeren and Red O'Neill, who is a newcomer to the squad, have the nod in the pitching assignments. Sam Gaito will be assisted behind the plate by an up-and-coming sophomore, John Mocs. Here's wishing the boys and Coach O'Keefe lots of luck in the coming campaign. RID HOI IU N AND SAM GAITO BOB IM'AGOTK BASEBALL Page 106 GOLF TURNER TALLAKSEN GORDON TALLAKSEN, JERRY STICKLING Our golf team this year will have the handicap of inexperience to overcome. However, if they play as well as the boys did last year, they will make an enviable record; for out of fourteen matches the team lost only two. Both times they were beaten by a strong Bloomfield Squad. Because of the ac- curate iron shots and the deadly putting, the '45 Varsity outclassed many of its opponents. The team was captained by Alan Grogan, whose low scores helped to give West Orange such a commendable record. Having only four holdovers from last year’s squad, our team this spring will be green.” Turner Tallaksen, the captain, averages around 79. Gordon Tallaksen shoots around 83 and will be the number two man. Jerry Stickling and Gerhart Parneau will also have berths on the team.

Left to right: Dick Hether- ingtoti, Harold Rowett, Dick Rose, Walter Perry TENNIS TEAM For the lust two years, under the able leadership of Mr. Otto, our tennis team has maintained a fine record, when one considers the handicaps which hamper practice and student interest. When one has to board his helicopter and fly to the left bank of the Potomac for daily practice, how can interest be aroused? Well, we may have exaggerated a little, but the courts are located in East Orange. Undaunted by even this inconvenience, we have this loyal group: Dick Hethering- ton, Al Ensminger, Walter Perry, Emmons Paine, Howard Rowett, Raymond Carpenter, Ronald Banks, Harold Youngman, and Ray Adler. Our record last year was, indeed, satisfactory, our team winning five out of nine matches. We hope and have reasons to believe that this year our team will equal and even surpass this record.

In autumn, soccer and hockey comprise our sports; in winter, we turn our efforts to basketball and volley ball; but in spring, the first robin finds us earnestly contending with bat and ball. Typical hockey game GIRLS’ SPORTS Girls? Yes, indeed, these leaping, screeching ob- jects are girls, girls who are truly enjoying them- selves at their play. And this pleasure is typical of the fun the girls experience in the many forms of exercise in which they engage throughout the school year. Naturally, we enjoy our regular Gym Class, which meets twice a week and breaks Up the monotony of our days. Perhaps of all the work in the class we favor the social, square, and folk dancing which we are taught once a month. On other days we engage in the performing of self-testing activities, drills to build better figures, and pyramid building, all of which are exercises that teach us coordination. And some days we participate in games, such as Captain Ball, Pin Ball, and Field Ball. In our regular class work, we, therefore, have had many good times. In addition to engaging in corrective drills and having a good time, we girls are kept fairly healthy. Part of our gym period is spent in learning to walk correctly and to sit properly. This year we have tested our feet to find out whether or not we have strong arches. For those whose arches are a bit weak, Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Craig have supplied corrective work. Furthermore, each year we have received both a doctor s and dentist’s examination. The nurse also inspects us by testing our eyes and looking for Ath- lete's Foot. TB X-rays are given each year for our protection. We also have fun in taking part in our after school sports. In the fall, girls don shinguards after school to play the rough, exciting game of hockey. On other days we may see the girls on the field play- ing soccer. On still other days more girls troop down the hill to the Orange Y.W. for swimming lessons. As the weather grows colder, the girls begin playing basketball; and although they do not play so roughly as the fellows do, they still get many thrills from the game. Also, in the winter, volley ball and ping- pong tournaments are held. Some girls really have the knack of getting that ball back and forth across the net in both ping-pong and volley ball. As spring rolls around, the girls are again seen playing on the field after school. Softball games call out the base- ball lovers while archery calls forth the sharp- shooters. In addition to these, swimming lessons are continued. By this summer. West Orange should have some good swimmers. The point system in athletics in our school en- courages competition in the various sports and ac- tivities. Ten points are gained by being a team cap- tain or sub-captain. These ten points are hard earned. The captain or her substitute must keep a record of each girl’s attendance, the number of points she re- ceives each gym day for winning games, and the number of points she earns for taking showers. An- other way of accumulating points is by participation in after school sports. One hundred points are given each girl for every after school sport she attends faithfully. If one is not the athletic type, it is still Page 112 Hockey again! Peggy and Adele Earn dancing again! Page 113 country hoe-down in the gym! Cage ball Music Maestro Husk) Athletes in Action Session Hermine Bradshaw, Jean Cox possible for her to receive five points for refereeing or keeping score at tournament games after school What is the reward for gaining these hard earned points? After a girl has earned four hundred points, she is entitled to a numeral; when she reaches the eight hundred mark, she is entitled to her block letters. And for that senior who has the highest number of points at graduation, there is a gold pin. There is also a silver pin for the girl who comes in second. As an added attraction this year to our extensive program, those girls who intend to be physical educa- tion teachers were asked to referee or keep score for volley ball and soft ball tournaments in the Junior High Schools. Our best basketball players were also asked to give Roosevelt and Edison Schools a dem- onstration. Other girls were called upon to referee the junior high schools’ basketball games. As you have probably surmised, we girls have had a very successful year in spite of mishaps, such as, the losing of padlock keys or the fighting over which team was to wear those red and yellow pin- nies. We are very proud of our record of few ex- cuses from gym classes. Each team has striven for fewer and fewer excuses each marking period. We have found it very nice working with girls and teachers who are ready and willing to cooperate with one another, and we think Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Craig have every right to be pleased with the work that they have done so successfully.

The Class of 1946 is considering leaving to West Orange High School a new stairway and hall floor to be placed in the southeast corner of the school. They are sorry to have worn the path thin which leads to Room 202, the homeroom of the Yearbook faculty adviser, Miss Hilson. The art, literary, and photography committees are always to be found there seeking approval of their masterpieces. We thank the O. P. A. for releasing shoes, or the seniors would otherwise have to supply coupons for the financial committees who are wear- ing out shoe leather as they scour the town for advertisements. Many students, who are often seen wiping the perspiration from their brows, but whose names never appear in print, are those who do the typing, assembling, proofreading, and countless other jobs that are necessary. The staff, however, extends its deepest gratitude to its adviser, Miss Hilson. It is she who expertly guides the group past the first shallows and breakers to the final calm waters of a yearbook of which it may be proud. Page 118 Red and Charlie keep records.

BAND 0„ k' ld “ Drum-Majorette Anne Frabel The school band ranks high among the activities of W.O.H.S. More than sixty boys and girls devote the fifth period on Mondays and Tuesdays or an hour after school Wednesdays to the not unpleasant task of increasing their proficiency on the clarinet, tuba, or other instruments. The band finds its way out of a puzzling formation Stanley Udy, our Drum Major The hand was organized by Jennings Butterfield more than twenty years ago and has grown from a scant dozen pieces to a praiseworthy organization. It is with a thrill, exceeded only by that created by the whistle for the kick-off, that the W.O.H.S. student watches the band come on the field. The maroon and white clad members march down the field, ably led by the Drum Major and the four Drum Majorettes. Between the halves the band plays again and executes intricate formations whose precision makes well worth while the long hours of practice. Strike up the band! O-R-C-H-E-S-T-R-A spells orchestra, and in the case of the West Orange High School Orchestra this means good music for the listening pleasure of all. No, I am not trying to sell the orchestra to you; I am merely going to tell you a little more about it. As you all know. Dean Butterfield is the director; and the members are students from our own classes. These all work together to give to us and others good music. Although we have all heard this orchestra in assembly and probably at concerts or other school affairs, do we ever think of the time and effort that its members and director put into this organization in order to help it make a good showing for our school? Three- periods each week one can find them all hard at work. Playing a musical selection just right is not an easy task, but it is one that requires persistence on the part of all. Truly, we have an orchestra of which we can all be proud. It has talented members and a very capable director, the combination of these two assuring us of good music.

In the past few years the choir has had a number of different instructors because of the war's having called several of them to the service; however, even with the many changes, the choir has continued to present its excellent concerts. When the director is not present, he is replaced by students who are capable of taking over the work of the rehearsal. This year, in particular, there has been a need for such able leaders as Adele Fleming and Charles Ippo- lito, who have certainly done their duties well.

Music plays an important part in the celebration of holidays; therefore, we certainly are fortunate in having a good choral organization which can help in the proper celebration of these festive days. The choir also sang for the P. T. A. in February and the annual Spring Concert. Both of these pro- grams are always looked forward to by the choir members as it is their opportunity to show their par- ents and the public the type of work they are capable of doing. The group is allowed to select much of the music to be used during the year—a privilege which is im- portant to the student; for enjoying the music one sings makes the work more pleasant. If there are any of you songsters lurking in the halls wishing you could harmonize, why not join the A Cappella Choir?

Re- gardless of which viewpoint one held, he had to agree that the production was a success, and why not? With the combined cooperation of the com- mittees and the cast, headed by Miss McCloskey, it should have been. Miss Mac, as she is fondly called by the students, patiently directed and coached, missed meals, and had sleepless nights during the six hectic weeks of re- hearsals. Then came the opening night; and there she was, smiling and as calm as though she had never heard of the word work. Side by Side with Miss Mac was the make-up com- mittee, headed by Mrs. Terry, who, having converted her office into a make-up room, was transforming the cast into beings who would have made Hollywood sit up and take notice. Beneath the creams and pow- ders one could barely distinguish Bob Meslar (Bates, Detective’s Assistant, Bernie Frank; Villain, Louts TOften; That Scotch Sleuth, Stewart Grove Charming Juliette Derochie and handsome Edward Minier Our A touches er, Herbie Schoeck, and our Director, Miss Violette Me Cl os key Actress Supreme, Peggy Brown, lets Milton Mansbel know what’s on her mind. the butler), Martha Gilman (Mrs. Hunt, the house- keeper), and Mike Dc Vita (Benedict Hazard).

These two, along with Flynn with his loud socks and Swanee with her rolling pin, sup- plied the humor.

The property girls were seeing to it that all was in order on the stage, and the stage furniture committee rushed frantically about searching for this or that. The ushers were busy handing out the programs which had been prepared by the advertising committee. Along with this latter group were the girls who compiled the skits which were sent out to the different neighboring schools. The stage manager and prompters were pre-occupied, biting their nails as they waited for the curtain to rise. Finally it did, on three performances, scoring three successes. After the final curtain had been rung down and the sighs of relief drawn, was the group content to return to normal ? No, forgetting the weeks of labor involved and thinking only of the final satisfaction of having done a job well, they were ready to start working on a new play.

Page 1 33 i ij' DtfTTQN THE STUDENT A very important organization of boys and girls in our school is called the Student Congress. In reality, every pupil in the school is a member of the Congress; but since it is impossible to do business with such a large body, each homeroom is represented by one carefully selected boy or girl. Through these representatives we may express our opinion concern- ing the management of the high school. A group, even smaller and more important, is the executive committee, consisting of four seniors, three juniors, and three sophomores, who meet before the regular meetings of the Congress to do preliminary planning. A1 Ensminger, our president this year, is capable and adds much spirit to the meetings. He is supported by Phyllis Dayton, vice-president; Harriet Wilson, recording secretary; and Ray Hearn, treasurer. To Mr. Doll, our faculty adviser, who is present at every meeting and who so freely gives of his valuable time, we give our thanks. Through the constitution, drawn up by last year’s Congress, there have come several important stand- Row 1: Lois Sturgis, Charlotte Garlock, Claire Nich- olson, Janice MeGoughran, Adclc Fleming, Dorothy Turner, Hazel Cummings.

There is the Assembly Council, who, with Miss Peckham’s help, provides weekly entertainment for the school. Mr. Evans and the Cafeteria Squad maintain order and cleanliness in our eating room. The hosts and hostesses with Mrs. Betz as their leader welcome all visitors entering our school. Many other worthwhile activities are carried on by the Student Congress. We helped the Red Cross this Christmas by collecting cigarettes,, tobacco, pocket novels, pipes, and wallets for gift boxes to be given those boys in separation centers who could not reach home by Christmas. At the moment, we are en- deavoring to collect good reading matter for the Veteran’s Center on Main Street. In the recent cloth- ing drive, the Congress helped by urging all pupils lo donate their old but usable clothing. This winter we sponsored a Get Acquainted Dance on a Saturday night. Music was provided by an orchestra, and the gym was decorated beyond rec- ognition. Many fun-loving pupils with their dates H. WILSON G. PUSTARFI showed up for the good time. The Congress hope. � to provide more of such entertainment in the future. The organization also looks after the welfare of the student in other ways. For example, last fall when the victorious Pacific fleet was harbored in New York, a highly representative group visited our prin- cipal, Mr. Hearn, and secured a half day holiday in which to visit our mighty Navy. Frequent visits are made to Mr. Hearn by carefully selected committees who bring complaints of all forms from the students. We know that with the coming year there will be many improvements and good times to come through our Student Congress. Those who serve our school in this way will undoubtedly be the good citi- zens of our generation. Page 135 PHILO Seated: Nancy Kennedy.

As you know, Philo is one of our two literary societies. The competitor, Clio, thinks it is very good because it won the scholarship cup last year. However, we've made sure that Philologians will not be disappointed from now on. To begin with, we have four good officers: Phyllis Dayton is our president; Adele Fleming, our vice-president; An- nette Wood, our secretary; and Norse Bear, our treasurer. Acm- ce� 10« Oa At our joint meetings, the two societies alternate in taking charge of the programs. Betty Euler, Philo’s pro- gram chairman, has given us some very enjoyable meetings. We had a special Christmas program, at which we ex- changed ten cent gifts; we have also had quizzes, spelling bees, extemporaneous speeches, etc. When Clio had charge of the program, Philo’s critic, Elsie Ohs, gave suggestions and advice. Page 136 Philo also put on the Armistice Day assembly program. Now all of our members are looking forward with pleasure to the annual Clio-Philo banquet.

We, as others of previous years, have found each meeting to he full of good fun and entertain- ment. The officers of Clio for the 1943-1946 school term have been Margaret Waldeck, President; Juliette Derochie, Vice-President; Ruth Alford, Secretary; John Smith, Treas- urer; Irene Peters, Program Chairman; and Jean Wagner, Critic. These people are only an example of the conscien- tious Honor Roll students who are members of the club. As a requirement for membership, every boy and girl must have a scholastic average of at least seventy-five per cent, but most of us have averages of eighty-five per cent or higher. The two clubs function on a competitive basis. At the end of the year at our annual banquet, a silver cup is awarded to whichever club has maintained the higher average throughout the year. Incidentally, it has always been a very close race. None of us seniors shall ever forget our frenzy and excitement on the night we were given our initiations. As the waiters and waitresses at the banquet, we weren't al- lowed to eat with the established members but were obliged MARGARET WALDECK Clio's president instead to go on foolish errands for them. The initiations, which came after the supper, will always be a cause for laughter whenever we think of them. Can you picture a girl munching on a dry shredded wheat biscuit—and at the same time attempting to carry on an intelligent conversa- tion with another girl in the same predicament? Such agony, however, is worth being endured in order to be able later to enjoy the many good times at the bi-monthly meet- ings. LIBRARY COUNCIL Thelma Clayton fulfilling her duties as leader of the Library Council. DunVer'y. w: Shirley Ruth Van The Library Council is an organization which performs many services which save us of West Orange High School much valuable time. Its members are those who keep the library in smooth working order by placing all the books on their respective shelves, by typing catalogue cards and bibliographies, and by making a picture file for our use (a new project this year). These people are the right-hand men of Mrs. Dunkerley, our librarian. You see, it would not be very pleasant to have to get along without them. We should realize, though, not only what they are doing for us, but also what time they are spending in doing these things. While we sit in the library looking up materials for a history re- port or doing some such work, we must remember that the members of the Library Council, who could be getting some of their homework done in that study period, are working on the business of the Library. Certainly you will agree with me that this council is indispensable. ASSEMBLY COUNCIL Page 139 Many of us in school think of our assembly programs as Heaven sent gifts that arrive each Thursday morning just for the purpose of shortening our class periods and bringing variety to our days. We do not realize that there are boys and girls who must generously give of their time to be able to give us this worthwhile entertainment. These students are the members of the Assembly Council, an active group which always has something planned for each Thursday’s assembly. These volunteers or appointees work under the supervision of the Student Congress. Their very efficient president, Evelyn Nilsen, cooperates with Miss Peck- ham, chairman of the Assembly Council. Among the various interesting programs presented, there was one of special interest given by professional talent, the Coleman Brothers Quintet, which entertained us with many familiar as well as new songs. There has also been an inter- esting display of home talent by our orchestra, our choir, and several notables who appeared in Major Blow’s Amateur Hour and other programs of the year. On occasions, both students and faculty enjoy the group singing which takes the place of the regular planned programs. Every assembly program for the remainder of the year is planned for our pleasure by the council. Keep your eye on them—they are the producers and directors of tomorrow.

Cherchez la femme? 'Non, cherchez 1’homme is the motto of la societe francaise. Although this club is trying to overcome the manpower shortage, it still has time to accom- plish its several objectives: to afford for its members an op- portunity not only to increase their knowledge of the French language, but also to learn more of the customs, the history, the geography, and the culture of France. The club elected its officers at its first meeting. Janet Popken was elected president, Juliette Derochie, vice-president and treasurer, and Martha Gillman, secretary. The club is open to all Second and Third Year French Students. The organization has enjoyed several delightful programs, including one very fine musical program, and a Christmas Party with fascinating games, the story of the Nativity, and the singing of carols (all in French, of course). Delicious refreshments and the distribution of gifts closed the meeting. The group is planning to present an assembly program before the end of the year. The members are also planning to write to French Children.

Our club pro- vides for an increased interest in the Spanish language in a social manner. The choice of leaders for this year are as fol- lows: Anne Evans, president; Margaret Waldcck, vice-presi- dent; Hazel Cummings, secretary; and Vester Boal, treasurer. With Miss Eaton and Mrs. Seaman as alternate advisers for each meeting, we plan for interesting activities to take place during our Wednesday afternoons together. So far, our gath- erings have been made up principally of games, in which all partake. Later we intend to make a trip to New York to see a Spanish movie and also go to a Spanish restaurant. As the year progresses, the first year students will be at the mere)’ of the rest of us; for initiations will be in order for them. We hope to become one of the liveliest organizations in West Orange High School.

Sixth row: Rita Last spring our Home Economics Service Club was organized by more than a hundred interested girls. Officers for this year were elected. They are Annette Wood, President; Janet Reeve, Vice-Presi- dent; Gladys Ramsland, Recording Secretary; Fay Krebs, Corresponding Secretary; Patricia Regan, Treasurer. Our first group activity was a fashion show in which each girl modeled an outfit that she had made in her sewing classes. Our mothers attended this gathering and greatly enjoyed seeing our wardrobes, which consisted of skirts, blouses, slacks, pajamas, suits, coats, dresses, and accessories. The cooking department served refreshments afterwards. A few meetings and one outside speaker gave us a good start. During the summer some of our members acted as hostesses at the Fourth of July Celebration at our high school. Last May wc sponsored the annual concert given by the school orchestra for the scholarship fund. In addition to selling tickets for the affair, we were usherettes for it. When the foot- ball season arrived, we volunteered to sell candy at the home games. Faithfully on the job Saturdays, we carried our Dairymaid trays round and round the field filling hungry spectators with sweets. During the first term this year, our meetings, which were originally scheduled for two Tuesdays a month, have been continually interrupted because of other activity participation—and there just hasn’t been time for everything! However, we have had several afternoons of movies, games, and refresh- ments. And for the future (after Jack Frost quits pestering us), we are planning, among other things, a super-deluxe picnic where we can wear out our dungarees. THE ART CLUB Seated: Dorothy D.tmdo, Ah Nelson, Ell� � � Jon� . Gaither. Joan Wtlltannw J h'redrttkson. Stand.� - w sr sr t£ The Art Club of West Orange High School is intended to bring together, for mutual improvement, those students who have chosen drawing or painting as a vocation or as an avocation. Indirectly, the Art Club functions as a Depart- ment of Public Information; for it is this group of talented young people who publicize the Senior Play, the Subscription Campaigns, the Spring Concert, and various other high school activities. From time to time, throughout the school year, the walls of the school corridors and show windows of the town's stores serve as a frame for the attrac- tively designed posters, which urge the passerby to attend such a function, or to subscribe to such a fund. The effectiveness of this publicity is attested by the success of the various activities or campaigns. The high standard of achievement attained by the Art Club is due, in great measure, to the tireless efforts of Miss Hergt, the art instructor. Every Wed- nesday of the month, Miss Hergt meets with the devotees of art in the Tower Room of the high school. Here they discuss things artistic in the lan- guage of their profession and work at drawing, mod- elling, and the use of colors. Page 143 First row: Janice Wycko T, Beverly Spurting.

Within the last few years there have been formed three clubs, which are little known to the average student body. They are the Commercial Club, the Cafeteria Club and the Visual Aid Club. The first of these, the Commercial Club, the youngest of the three, is entering upon its first year of activity. Under the able leadership of Miss Karnes it was organized to supplement business training in high school and to develop a broader and deeper appreciation of the business world. At the present time there are twenty-eight members; their election is based upon scholarship, character, and leadership. Another of the dubs still in its embryo stage is the Cafeteria Squad: With Mr. Evans and Mr. Atwan as leaders, a group of socially minded and public spirited students have taken over the job of seeing that the cafeteria is kept clean. Also in this group are the cashiers, quick of mind and motion. The last of these clubs is the Visual Aid Group, founded by Mr. Eastwood and Mr. Wenner. Estab- lished to aid the teachers by bringing in films on various subjects, the club has progressed rapidly and its members, all boys, have been taught the mechanics of the projector. Page 145 HE most important scenes of our play are en- acted in the classrooms. Here we learn the fundamentals which are of use to us throughout our entire lives. Little do we realize how important the seemingly insignificant school experiences are in the attaining of our goals. (Vcu cene Two experts at work.' As We Are Seen Buy Victory bonds! Now that we are about to be graduated, we suddenly realize that we shall miss West Orange High. All the school’s a stage” to mis-quote Shakespeare! We shall never for- get the daily dramas that were enacted in various classes: the unexpected explosions in chemistry lab.; the (4x + y = 7); how old is z? of Algebra; the bluffing of our way through lessons we hadn’t studied; and the heckling of a substitute! Yes, we shall miss school. As sopho- mores, we were overwhelmed with the new- ness of it all; as juniors, we filled our cal- endars with social events; and then quite suddenly when we were seniors, we realized that we had to study. Let us now take a backward look at our- selves as naive sophomores, happy-go-lucky juniors, and proud seniors. Make a perfect copy, please! Betty’s not concentrating very bard; is she? Mr. Smock explains the seating chart. Shorthand—but it looks like hieroglyphics to the uninitiated. The Latin Class boasts beauty as well as intelligence. Why, teacher, that's astonishing! Busy st ude tits in the library! How does Dave manage to concentrate on bis homework while surrounded by such fair maidens? Air. Finch looks over the smooth job which the boys have almost finished. Is that an expression of approval or displeasure on his face? Walter and Lorraine learn all about law and order. They seem to know what they’re talking about, too! Page 132 These boys look as if they are play- ing doll-house with the miniature stage setting of The Dark House,” our senior play. I thought you were too old for such games, Dick! Ralph must be fashioning some kind of marvelous kitchen sink or perhaps a bridge lamp. Whatever the project, he seems quite anxious to finish the job before lunch. Why, he certainly looks industrious! Dean” manages to get in all of them! Come on, now, all together —Sque-a-k! Jessie, watch your music! Page 153 While our budding artists diligently draw a line and erase the same line, Dot seems to be mightily bored with the proceedings. What’s the matter, Dot? Aren’t you flattered? Watch that note, Kids! Deans just about to give you that dagger-like stare. Si, si sehoritas—oops, I missed you, Malcolm. Gathered around the piano in 203 is the spot where you’ll find the girls, practicing their scales and trills with Malcolm as the bass. Page With these expert first aiders in our school we will never have to worry about our dislocations and broken bones—Or will we!!! Nowadays there are always lines to wait in, even for football tickets. Was the game worth waiting in line for? Why the preference for North Car- olina? What do you bet that he's thinking of the August moon and Southern Belles instead of all the historic battles? Page 15 S There must be something that brings them back. It certainly is a happy reason from the width of their smiles. Maybe it's because they can turn around and walk out of that door whenever they want. Oh, what a relief! Stand up straight, Betty! Page 1 6 Busy in shop where many useful and attractive articles have been made. When the Red Cross called on us to help in their drive to pro- vide our hospitalized veterans with recreation, the boys in shop re- sponded with lap boards, checker boards, and frames of all kinds to fulfill our quota. Under Annette's is true lion, Mr. Doll learns about Fair Employment Practices.” Page 157 That’s right, Emil; drink your milk; look at all the vitamins you'll get. N our spotlight shine several notables, each of whom has excelled in his own individual way. Whether in the scholastic field or in the social world, each has become prominent. To these bright stars in our universe we now pay tribute. DOROTHY BOOTH Yalcdictorian SENIOR HONOR ROLL These arc the Seniors who have maintained an average of eighty-five and above for three and one- half years of high school work. This means that these people have kept their grades above average ever since entering high school. Special recognition goes to Dorothy Booth and Stanley Udy for their ex- ceptional work. Everyone agrees that the eighty-five average is not easy to obtain, and we arc proud of the number that have attained a place on this honor roll. 12. Joyce Hart 89.7802 13.

They have maintained an average of ninety or above for every one of the three marking periods that have passed. The average that appears here is that of the first half year’s work. Our Junior, Marion Westling, is carrying over her good work from last year where she also ranked first in her class. We hope that she can continue in this manner for the remaining time she is in high school. Our congratulations go to Douglas Tibbals for his beginning record in the Senior High School. It can easily be seen that he is destined to be one of the leaders of his class. We of the Senior Class want to honor these two and the others who go to make up the high honor roll.

Unaware and more unconscious than usual, they seem little disturbed by our inquisitive cameraman. Re- member that crush you had in your sophomore year, or the girl you took to the Junior Prom. Well, look closely— and we hope the memories are pleasant. ceue Give us a smile now, Mr. Ben (Frankie Carle) Pironti; and then give us some of that piano playing. 7 ing those smiles and waves? Now we bring our stars and the supporting cast, in their informal dress, to the footlights to take their bows. As we look, each of us wishes to pick out his own favorite actor or actress; but if he is not on this page, look further and you'll usually find him twinkling brightly on the pages. Say, Cynthia, aren’t you going to join the leg show? Going my way? In case you're confused, Anne is just trying to be different. The candy we sell here is pretty sweet. Why that queer gleam in your eye, Elsie? OS The team is fighting it out on the field, the stirs ns with martial music and you—you gaze dreamily in the other direction! 7 little girls looking very nice. I it will be a Sunday to remember. Our pet brunette and the gang. A iv, cut it out, Bev; Eileen can't hold you up Betty pouts while Lorraine guards Frenchie's helmet. Gilda seems un- concerned about the whole thing! secretly °okirjp f Don't jump in with sour Gl boots on, Breeze; you might sink! And, by the way, did anyone ever tell you you look like Tarzan? Tory Corner is well represented, I see. The best that our school has to offer! Get in tail’ g Before the lunch bell ends our campus capers, we'll bor- row those bikes and give our best smiles for the camera. Mr. Wenner and Pete sit side by side on Saturday, seriously considering our team's chances for victory. Page 174 Why worry, Barbie? We’ll win! Phyllis looks doubtful although Eileen hasn’t a care in the world. Yes, Gussie, we agree with you that the cover on the programs is very attractive. Say, fellows, when are they letting you out? And what are you laughing at, fay? Page 175 The girls talk over the cowing football game. Alice and the photographer plot a glamourous pose. Our janitors in their lair— for once, Mr. Shields isn't crooning. Page 177 l'i f i Turner, take that frown off your face and smile as prettily as Doris does. Let’s go to town, girls A little too young for you, aren’t they, Dick? Hm, where have I seen these three charming gals before? Where did you leave your palette, Gordon? After all we need atmosphere. On the slope of Orange Mountain stands West Orange High —and on the lawn stand West Orange pupils. Page 181 Jean is trying to figure out the next play. Harold Cole—Too had the Navy called you. The crowd cheers, the band blares, and down the field dashes our football star. A hush drops over the crowd, and then the shout- ing rises in a terrific crescendo. Another touchdown has been chalked up for West Orange!! Grim expressions countenance the features of our fighting men. Page 182 Ym afraid you need two coats, girls! The football season has lost its interest for us, and now we turn our attention to sand and balmy breezes. Annette flashes her smile at the photographer, five girls sun in the sand, and we even have a sailor to complete the act. How- ever, two of our girls seem to pre- fer the front lawn of the school— even in summer! hdS , :.,ineSt°n pretty i'rls' I can’t believe it. A mirror around and only one girl in view. Well, Gladys, it looks as if you can take your time primping (as if you needed to primp). When you are through, you can go home and delve into the mysteries contained in those books on the floor. But why worry about that just now? Don’t look at those diplomas with such a gleam in your eye, Dick! Page 184 Two more lessons, Bill; and you can join the band.
