To the east of West Orange High School, silhouetted against the ever changing sky, lies a panorama that is indelibly stamped upon our minds, the panaroma of New York City, with its huge black stacks belching forth smoke and its skyscrapers towering up into the clouds. Is it not significant that our public school education should terminate in an institution thus facing New York City, that city which is today the universal symbol of achievement, the city to which many of us will be inevitably drawn either to increase our skills further, or to put them into practical application. It is, therefore, because of our great interest in this tremendous metropolis that we have chosen New York City as the theme of our 1947 West-O-Ranger. In this, our gift to West Orange students, we have attempted to depict the various phases of school life at West Orange High School; and we sincerely hope that in years to come this 1947 Weat-O- Ranger (as it carries you back to those carefree, happy days at West Orange High) will bring you happiness. 2W lX Quinn LEIGH BLUMER If one were to .search for the impulse that prompts certain people to dedicate their works to certain others among their friends and acquaintances, he would inevitably find that it is a deep affection for these persons that acts as the chief motive force. Is it not fitting, therefore, that we, the class of 1947 follow this accepted custom and dedicate our 1947 West-O- Ranger to a man who is loved by us all, Mr. Blumcr. known to us as Pop,’ that man who is to be found where there is laughter and good-will, a friend whose smile is the trade- mark by which we know him. The salient feature of Pop’s philosophy, the one which perhaps accounts for his success with young people, is that he is proud of his profession; we feel that he really enjoys teaching, that he appreciates our attempts at scholarship, and that he realizes our worth as individuals. Making the acqui- sition of knowledge a delightful accomplishment, supplement- ing drudgery with drollery, tossing a cheerful word in here and there, Mr. Blumcr has won a place for himself in the hearts of his pupils. If we were to list the qualities of certain individuals that make us fond of them, surely thoughtfulness and generosity would be among those heading the list—Mr. Blumcr has a full measure. He is never happier than w'hen he is sharing some bit of his happiness with others, whether it be some of the first spring flowers from his garden, or a cheering word of encouragement when someone is feeling rather despondent. Absolute fairness is another quality of Mr. Blumer’s person- ality, a quality that renders him a favorite among both teachers and students. Never does he succumb to prejudice; always is he willing to temper justice writh mercy ' In the future, as we look back over the years, some of our fondest memories of high school days will be those of the hours spent with Mr. Blumer. Unable to express our gratitude, admiration, and affection in any other way more fitting, we, therefore, take pleasure in dedicating our yearbook to Mr. Blumcr, with the sincere hope that he will accept this dedication as a tribute from us, and that he will recognize it to be an expression of our friendship to him. Since the yearbook is, after all, a big part of our- selves, what greater homage do we have in our pow'er to offer? The history and language departments instill in us a greater under- Standiftg of other peoples. Their essential duty js in informing this generation of the problems, thoughts, and events leading up to present conditions of the rest of the world. It is well that ue should know our Oini history in order better to understand our government today. Modern students are aide-awake: they know the true importance of these subjects; they know that Serenti credits toward graduation are present tn these subjects. Page 8 tbhi our schoolt English is the gate u ay to all I earning. This department hat the responsible function of promoting a greater use and comprehensio� of our language through the reading of literature and drill u ork in grammar, f he continuing popularity of this subject may he seen in the fact that many students take it four ami jpre times dur- ing their jchool careers. Practical subjects, such as shop, typing, and domestic arts, hold an important position hi our school. These sections form the nucleus for many of the necessary art! at later life. Many of them are professions hi their oun right and offer interesting careers. Sec era! graduates of these courses can attest to their fine preparation: for many of these grads are nou really cleaning up—yes, tn fact, most of them Say their business is picking up. and after ait, u ho u til sneeze at a clean nhrte nut form supplied free. PifiM m Athletics and activities are the tueam in our school l ) which citizens oj the juture learn hou to enjoy life and uork with other people. Thts year, art expanded activity program oj various clubs, coupled with the usual slate of athletics, has endeavored to produce a u ell-rounded and complete personality in every pupil. With this in- tensive program the u orld of the future u ill he devoid of misfits, of cranks, crabs, and ladis s; thus u e regret the eventual passing of the standard American teacher, THE MAYOR OF OUR CITY Milton W. Brown In 1946, Mr. Solomon Strong, Superintendent of Schools in West Orange, resigned. To fill his position the Board of Education selected Dr. Milton Brown. Superintendent of Schools in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. Dr. Brown was born in West Salem, Wisconsin, the native town of the famous author. Hamlin Garland After having completed hgh school, he attended Knox College in Illinois where he received his B.S. in 1923. While at college, he participated in basketball and track and was a member of Delta Sigma Rho and Phi Delta Kappa honor societies. After his graduation he began teaching in Illinois where he also coached basketball for a few years. In 1926 he received his M A. degree from the University of Chicago. For fifteen years he taught in Illinois before his career led him westward to Wisconsin. However, after three years he left Wisconsin to come cast to Glen Ridge. He had been in Glen Ridge only three years when he accepted the position of Super- intendent of Schools in West Orange. In 1946, Dr. Brown received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. While not occupied with his many school responsibilities, Dr. Brown enjoys his favorite pastimes, hunting and fishing. Concerning his new position. Dr. Brown said that he was very happy with the personnel, faculty, and members of the Board of Education. The codperation he has received from everyone, including the townspeople, has been marvelous. Though he has been superintendent only a few months, he has already become known to the teachers and students through his frequent visits to the school, his address to the students in the fall, and his appearance at our sports events. We regret that wc have not known him longer, but wc appreciate everything he has done for the school in this past year. Pagt 13 Raymond E. Hearn was elected mayor of our fair city early in 1944. He arrived at his desk in the city hall through the usual channel—he was first mayor of Gaston and later of Roosevelt. Mr. Hearn is a Pennsylvanian by birth and received most of his undergraduate training in that state. He enjoys base- ball, basketball, pie a la mode, and singing. In fact, our mayor once gave a concert in Town Hall. Mr. Hearn has proved himself a true friend of both the students and the faculty. We sincerely hope that his term as mayor will be a long and successful one. THE RAYMOND E. HEARN Principal Page 14 ALDERMEN Our vice-principal, Chester H. Wine, was born in Harrisonburg, Virginia. He attended Lebanon Valley Academy and College, although World War I inter- rupted his college education for two year , one of which he served in France. He majored in history and won varsity letters in football and basketball, being graduated with an A.B, degree. After teaching in several high schools, he came to West Orange High in 1930, where he taught history and problems of American democracy and assisted coaching the football teams. He was principal of Haiel Avenue School from 1932 to 19-Id, when he became our vice-prinnpaL By raking post graduate work, he has obtained his M.A. degree. His favorite recreations are bridge and golf. CHESTER H. WINE Vice-Principal THE COMMISSIONERS The Faculty • THELMA V. ALLEN OLerlin College. A. B. French, English.

THE CITY HALL What great city can exist without a well or- ganized city hall? Our city hall staff, Mrs. Condit, Miss Robertson, and Miss Volk, with the infinite patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon, would do much to make any city hall an efficient one. By fifteen minutes after eight every morning, the door of the city hall is opened, and the day begins; for soon after, students may be seen form- ing lines to get permission for early dismissals and to obtain excuses for absences. By nine o'clock, the attendance records arc being checked, and the bulletin is being prepared. Then follow all the little trifles that make the day a nightmare for the staff. A girl comes looking for her history book. Two boys, found wandering in the halls, are brought to the office to be tried and condemned. Besides these duties, telephone calls must be an swered, students' records must be sent to colleges and prospective employers, and numerous other unknown tasks must be performed This is merely an average morning in the office. Do you wonder that the staff needs patience? After three years of high school, whether we remember the office staff for writing our early dismissal slips when we were sophomores, or for helping us to find our lost books when we were juniors, or for writing recommendations when wc were seniors, wc shall not forget our office staff. Competence and friendliness typify our office staff. AU(t OW Betty Ifolk Dorothy Robin ton L i i I. K L L i t C it V IL!

Frank Cbamberlnt, Natalie Kenle n. Page 26 FRANK SPOHRER Vice Prendent A man s reach should exceed his grasp; else whit’s a heaven for? ' For twelve years or moret the class that is now to be graduated has been ever reaching higher towards the summit of achievement and success. The climb has been long and in some places we were tempted to give up; but now, at the peak of our triumph in school, we, the great and near-great, are proud and happy for all our strivings. Nevertheless, this is only one high place in the hill of life; we are bound to experience a temporary drop at our graduation before we start our upward way once more. Wc are high enough, though, to turn to view the ground over which wc have come— and to see the juniors toiling up the same hill not far behind us. We can see also the obstacles which have built our characters, the pleasures which have made us eager to reach the top, the encouragements which have been offered us by our teachers and friends. Although after our graduation, most of us will split and go our own ways, now we are a group which has grown up together, worked together, and played together. To achieve this unity we had need of the capable leaders with whom we have always been blessed since our first year in high school. Efficient and thoroughly likeable, our class officers for this year are as follows; Bob Spengler, president; Frank Spohrer, vice-president: Frank Chamberlin, treasurer; and Pat Clutts, secretary. Bob, whose personality has won him friends all over West Orange High, was a natural choice for president, especially since he is an active participant in many of our activities and really knows what is going on around school. Frank Spohrer is as capable in his executive office as he is on the foorball field; we feel that our choice of vice-president was a good one. FRANK CHAMBERLIN T reds am PAT CLUTTS Secretary I remember Frank Chamberlin's ability from ’way back when wc were sophomores in plane geometry. He was the obvious answer to our need of a good treasurer this year. Pat is a well-known, well-liked girl in school and a secretary as attractive as she is capable. Who knows to what heights we shall yet reach? There will be no limit if our aspirations continue to point skyward.

And later, in the winter, when the garden was all sere, 1 looked to where the rose had been; and in my memory I saw once more its perfect bloom. The picture was as clear. Its perfume smelled as sweet as in reality. Rut though all else was vivid. I forgot The disillusionment and heartbreak of the thorns . .. Today wc hold our happiness, our youth, our smiles—the rose; While temporary heartbreaks are the thorns; And in the future, our old age, that sered garden. Will recall once more the past, our lovely rose. So through the years, the memories mellow, And someday we ll look to find That the heartbreak is all gone, though smites remain. —Barbara Rogie In a Lighter Mood The senior class bids a sad adieu to the scene of its conquests and deeds; To the Alma Mater whose superb tutelage has taught it enough for its needs; To textbooks lovingly cared for; to desks engraved with its brand ('47); To teachers, the best ever; to football teams, best in the land; To cafeteria sandwiches without meat; to the joys of happy school life; To grades, high marks freely given; to low scores causing home strife; To sophomores and juniors who'll rake up our burden; to sage remarks in the classroom said; To teacher’s jokes, wc must laugh at them always; to the fearless who dare sneer at them instead ; To 2:45, the moment of destiny; to every season’s vacation; To the final exams, the banc of us all; to passing, that sense of elation; To these and all else too numerous to name, wc wish to say our farewell. We desire only to remember our fame, great glories that oft we’ll retell.

Their load of books seems almost as large as they themselves. Having been accus- tomed to being top men” as freshmen in junior high, they receive quite a setback when they come to high school. But as time progresses, these little sophomores become well acquainted with the every day routine and establish themselves as a definite and essential part of our student body. 94 CLASS OP 194? The sophomores made wise choices when they elected their officers. Their president, Edward Hoffmeyer, has a likeable personality which has captivated everyone's heart. To the office of vice-president Richard Lee, a very popular red headed fellow, was elected. As treasurer they chose Pat Werlc, a person in whom they could put their utmost trust and confidence. And last, but certainly not least, that noted blonde sophomore, Carol Bronner, was made secretary. Although our sophomores may not agree, ome day they will look back at their sophomore days and say, Oh, to be a carefree sophomore again! Left in � � ght.

The West Orange Cowboys this year finished another gridiron cam- paign, again under the reins of Wendell W. Wear, who was re- cently released from the Navy after forty months of service. Although the record the team compiled was far from impressive, the scores often fail to reveal the true circum- stances. More than once wc suf- fered defeat because of bad breaks and a jinx which seemed to follow us from week to week. The team opened the season by Din e 0‘Nerl Art for tier Cowboy Giants playing Irvington in high spirits and out pilot'd the Camptowners in all four quarters. It wasn’t until live final few minutes of the game that by virtue of a blocked kick Irvington scored a safety and, thereby, the two points which gave to them the game. After this discouraging defeat, the Mountaineers suffered a let- down which came to light the following Saturday when they faced a stubborn Scott eleven. Al- though West Orange played a hard ball game all afternoon� they failed to get started when in scoring position. However, they held the Scotties until the third period when a Scott end out raced our secondary end to catch a thirty yard pass ana thus score the touchdown by which W.O lost the game 6-0. A strong East Orange team was our next opponent. The game was played during a hard rain so that our attack failed to function, The game ’scc-sawcd” back and forth until the third period when a Panther back finally broke loose and scooted eighty yards for a touchdown. When Jim Evans' kick was blocked on our own twenty yard line. East Orange recovered to set up her second score so that when the final gun sounded West Orange was on the short end of a Page 05 1 ' Co-Ca plains Fred Knoehel and Al Pursell. Joe Murphy 12 0 score. The following Saturday came the game with Kearny, an opponent which proved to be much stronger than was expected. The Kardinah surprised us with an array of quick passes, and before our backs could adjust themselves, Kearny scored their lone tally of the day by a disputed pass in the end zone. West Orange fought back, but Kearny held to win 6-0. The following Saturday we faced the highly praised Tornadoes from Orange in one of the hard- est fought contests of the season. Orange scored in the first period, but West Orange fought back with a Gaito to Fortier touchdown pass. The Orange and Black then took to the air with an aerial attack that rewarded them with a forty yard end zone comple- tion. The stubborn Cowboys scored again when Page 106 Date O'Se l and Dick Cohen moving in to help stop an end run in. the Montclair game. Sam Gaito plunged across. But Orange also scorco again with another touchdown and a safety to win the ball game 20-12. Seton Hall fell victim to the full fury of the Cowboys' revenge. Scoring in every period, they hit the Setonians with everything they had. Within the first three minutes Fred Knocbel raced back a punt sixty yards for the first score of the day. In the next in a touchdown pass from goal paid off in a touch- down by Fred Knoebel to close the half. We scored again early in the second half when Bucky Thomas received a beautiful pass from John Saporito. The last tally came when Sam Gaito raced sixty-five yards for a touchdown to make the final score 34-13. Montclair, our next opponent, arrived with a werful team that was bidding for all-state honors, cst Orange proved itself a great defensive ball team as it held the Blue Tide for three auarters. But in the last period after the Cowboys had played themselves out, Montclair pushed across two touch- downs to win 14-0. The next week the Blue Devils played host to a determined Maroon team which held them to a scoreless first half. Early in the second half from our own forty yard line it was John Saporito who raced all the way for the first score. But as a result of a thirty yard pass and a fumble on our own twenty yard line, Westfield scored her two hard earned touchdowns for a 14-7 win. Thanksgiving day arrived with our traditional Columbian rivals playing host to our Maroon team. The game was exciting and closely played till the very end. The first score came when on our fake field goal play Fred Knocbcl skirted end for a touch- down. Paul Fitten broke through the line to score a safety in the same period, but Columbia also scored before the end of the half. In the second half the auarter Art Fortier pulled Sam Gaito. A faked field Fred Ktwfhel Sam Gusto Phi TorrotiMQ Frank Spain et Bob Riley Cowboys kicked off, ind (he ball foiled into the South Orange end zone. It was Joe Murphy who fell on it for our third score. Hut again the red and black fought back to tie the score 14 to 14. Finally in the last period after a hard determined drive Sam Gaito plunged through for the winning score. The Senior Varsity consisted of the following seventeen boys: Paul Jankc, our center, who always turned in a good job at the pivot post; Al Pursell. our guard slot, who was exceptionally good not only on defense and offense but also in calling signals and plays; Paul Fitten, our other guard, who was a quick and hard charging man; Joe Murphy, our tackle, who was rough and hard hitting; Dick Cohen, our other tackle, who was a behemoth of the forward wall; Joe Pansulla and George Rhinehardt, capable reserves, who. when they were in the game, always gave the opponents trouble: Dave O'Neill, one of the best defensive men on the line; Frank Spohrcr. a player who was an exceptionally good flinkman on offense; Howard Rowctt, another dependable wing- man on offense; and Dick Chamberlain, an end, who was especially good on defense. Fred Knocbel was our star triple threat halfback and he was aided by Art Fortier who was an all-around good back. Jim F.vans e Air.

The twelve members of this squad were selected in the spring of 1946 from a group of approximately seventy-five contestants. Having endured much hard work and strenuous practice, the cheerleaders deserve every word of praise that can possibly be given to them. Not only did our cheerleaders do an excellent job during football season, but also they have seen us through the basketball and baseball seasons as well. Present at excry game despite the downpour of rain or the low temperature at some of our football games, they proved their loyalty to our team and to our Alma Mater. Although our football season was not the most successful West Orange High School has seen, the cheerleaders, with their unconquerable faith, exhibited the true spirit every student of West Orange feels whether wins or losses are ours. So in times to come, let us remember our cheerleaders whose hard work and fighting spirit truly spurred our team on to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y. Page lit 112 Until the year 1946, female twirlers and major cites were unknown in West Orange High School. Now the school takes pride when the ten twirlers and three majorettes come strutting across the field in their maroon and white outfits. Selected from the seventy-five contestants who competed for the honor of representing our school on the football field, these girls gave up not only numerous afternoons to im- prove their skill, but also long hours in the evening for home practice. In the last few years, so much interest has been taken in the art of twirling that it has been made a school activity in West Orange; therefore, the chosen few will be selected, year after year, to receive along with much hard work, the honor of so proudly representing West Orange High School. Page 113 Cowboy Knickerbockers Page 116 The 1947 West Orange basketball team, having lost three men by graduation, needed to be rebuilt before it was ready to take its place as one of the better teams in the state. Ken Murray, last year's terrific center, was difficult to replace; but with letter- men Sam Guito. a guard. A) Pursell, a forward, and Art Fortier, a forward, as a nucleus. Coach Mark Rankin developed a fine squad. To fill the vacant center position, Coach Rankin brought huge Hughic O'Hara up from last year's Jayvees. At the other forward he stationed Joe Gironc, also a Jayvec last year. Behind the first team were the fine subs, Bill Knox, Norman Rakctt, Bob Moorehead, Ed Lott, Fred Knocblc, and Floyd Perry. Unfortunately, none of the boys will return; but we arc lucky in having had a fine Jayvee squad under the direction of Assistant Coach Wendell W. Wear, which, along with the boys from Edison and Roosevelt, will form next year’s team. Led by Art Fortier’s shooting and Sam Gaito’s ball-handling, the whole squad developed rapidly as the season progressed. The team started poorly, los- ing dose ball games to Montclair and Belleville. They broke into the wjo column by upsetting Colum- bia. Against Bloomfield they really started to work together and won seven of their last eight games, losing only an overtime battle to Belleville. The big win of the year was the victory over Orange by the score of 42-28.

Under the able tutelage of the popular Coach O'Keefe, it is a certainty that the West Orange High School baseball team of 1947 will emulate the fine record made by the 1946 aggregation. There are seven lettermen returning, holdovers who will form the nucleus of this year s team. Returning from last year's stalf is a curve-balling right hander, red headed Dave O'Neill. A versatile southpaw, A! Pursell. has flashed great form in this spring's exhibition games. Dave O'Neill and George O'Connor are two right handers who have enough on the balls to stifle the bats of most opposition. Re- ceiving the slants of these pitchers will be the erst- while three Icttcrinan, Sam Gaito. who made the All-Oranges' team last year. Harry Swinson and Jack Obermeyer are capable replacements behind the plate, The infield will probably be molded around shortstop George Stoukas. last year's leading hitter, and defensively adept third bjscman Jim Evans. At first base it is a toss-up between Frank Potts, a hard hitting farmer from Livingston, and the smooth field- ing Ed Swinson. Rounding out the infield is Joe Girone, a steady performer at second base. An All-Oranges' selection, Fred Knoebel, will be patrolling center field. Fred is noted for his long drives into the far corners of the outfield. The hard hitting Boh Spengler and Ralph Mohr will patrol the other outfield position. Key reserves in the outfield arc Bob Riley. Leo Caggiano, Jesse Taylor, Ray Fogarty, Howard Rowctt, and Dave Gardam. After closing a successful '46 season the West Orange netmen arc eagerly looking forward to an- other hard campaign. The schedule this year includes matches with such notable teams as East Orange, Columbia, Westfield, Irvington, Montclair, and Bloomfield. Bur this year the Cowboys are well prepared to face their foes. Leading the list of returning letter men is Captain Howard Rowett, who has been high scorer for the team for two consecutive years in singles and doubles. Another letterman is Ray Car- penter, last year's number five man, who did his best in doubles, while Ronald Banks, another doubles player, will also see action this season. Such reliable reserves as Emmons Paine and Harold Youngman will also be on hand. On the whole, it looks as if under the leadership of Coach Finch and Captain Rowett the West Orange Tennis Team should have a very successful season.

Kvirfll Metropolitan Open Duffers Early April brought with it the sight of several West Orange huskies carrying golf bags to school instead of school books. They weren't being initiated into any dub. No, they were just candidates for our crack golf team, which is annually one of the best m the state. Last year our golfers won eleven of their twelve matches and finished third in the state tournament. Mr, Evans, coach, and Jerry Stichling, captain, expect this year s squad to equal or surpass that record. The facts, that the squad lost through graduation only the Tallaksen cousins, and that the team boasts of the experienced senior players, Charles Spiropou- los, George Betz, Dave Quinn, and Ed Anfiudsen, and the experienced junior players Jim Perry and Jerry Stichling, make the golf team's future look rosy. Perry and Anfindsen, the two most improved players on the squad, both of whom finished in the first ten in the state tournament, and Stichling, second in the state and contestant breaker of 80, form the nucleus of a promising squad. There are six vacancies to be filled by promising sophs and juniors. Mr. Evans has scheduled home and away from home matches with Springfield, Milt- burn, Caldwell. Verona, Montclair, Bloomfield, West- field, and Teaneck, all golfing powerhouses. Matches with the alumni and faculty at Rock Spring Golf Club, which [he members have donated to the use of the high school for all home matches, round out the eighteen match schedule, Page 124 Cinder Churners After a long absente as a competitive int er- st holistic sport at our school, track his once more returned to carry the maroon and white over the cinders for West Orange. Last spring the team participated in six meets. Three of these were dual meets, two were triangular and one was the All-Oranges’ Relay at Underhill Field, South Orange. Our team composed of hur dlers, pole vaultcrs, jumpers, milcrs, quarter milers, half'fillers, weight men, and dash men. dropped two dual meets while winning one. In the two triangular meets the Cowboys could manage to take only two third places, hut. nevertheless, they tried all the way and barely missed winning second place honors. Looking back at a not too successful season with regard to final points compiled in previous meets, the leg strong portion of our team then traveled to South Orange where they competed against repre sentative? from Orange, Clifford Scott, Columbia, and East Orange High Schools. No longer running as individuals but as teams in this all important relay event, the Cowboys pushed themselves into a deserv- ing third place mostly on the performance of the half-mile relay team that captured second place in their respective event. Although the team will again be somewhat handicapped because of the lack of a running track for practicing, the coming season seems very promis- ing. In addition to the return of such state meet boys as John Smith, Johnny Sapor to, Ed Lott, and Hill Dalton as a nucleus. Coach Weir will find many other seasoned track enthusiasts who, this year, will take the sport more seriously; and lie will, therefore, have more all-track men to represent West Orange on the cinders.

Along with bowling, athletic dancing, and tap danc- ing, we have also welcomed our new teacher. Miss Meyer, who with Mrs. Terry has succeeded in making our gym periods pleasant. In the fall we tried our hand at hockey. Although we wore shin guards, some of us still went home with bruised knees. We played soccer, too; but we persisted in using our hands.

Before we knew it jack Frost was knocking at the door, and from then on we played indoors. Volleyball was our favorite indoor sport. After weeks m Page 128 of practice, each team entered the tournament; and although each team tried hard, alas, only the one team won, Besides volleyball there were ping pong and pin bail; and to streamline our figures and straighten our posture, we did exercises. After just one period of touching our toes with our fingertips, we were sore for weeks afterward and could hardly bend our knees? Then spring arrived, and once again we went outdoors, breathing the nostalgic air. Batters were to be seen swinging baseball bats; and pitchers were winding up—yes, it was time for softball. Oh, those long home runs! ft was evident we had some pro fessionak in our classes. As the weather grew warmer, swimming was another of our five sports.

On the Mall Under the capable leadership of Mr. Charles Reif snyder, the band this year was very successful Sixty-five people tame out for band, and from these a fifty-piece marching band was organized immediately. In our two afternoon practices each week we tried to obtain precision in marching. The greatest emphasis was put on straight lines, especially while playing. The feature attraction of the band during the football season was the addition of ten girl twirlers, who were trained by Mrs. Terry. Three drum majorettes—Mary Lou Imgrund, Jean Mobcrg, and Pat Cruise—led the band as we marched down the field. Of the formations wc made during the season, the one that seemed most popular every- where we went was the ’ football.” In this formation the band made the outline of a football while the twirlers crossed batons in the center to form the laces. At the dose of the football season the marching band was discontinued, and a concert band was organized in its place. We settled down to rehearsals for various assembly programs and the spring concert. Almost every type of piece was played, ranging from the latest hit tunes to operatic excerpts. The following band members arc seniors; Mary Cand lish. Robert Carpenter, Ellis Deibler, Ray Eberhardt, Merle Goldberg. David Hanright. Carol Heick. Emil Kalemha, Tcss Matturri, Lloyd Shaffer, Dorothy Thompson, Joyce rhompson, Bradford Van Ness. Gabriel has a new born, bigger and louder. Blow, Gabriel, blowf One of the mainstays of the orchestra, these mellow saxes and clarinets, which are found 'way in the back, where nobody sees them.

Before Dean assumes command, it is impossible to hear one's self think Violinists madly tune their violins, boys beat the drums, pianists pound the keys, trumpets blare, saxophones wail, clarinets squeak, trombones groan, and, altogether, what chance has the poor innocent listener? Finally, when Dean rushes in and shouts, ‘On the stage! order is soon restored; and the music is about to begin when too often in runs a drummci with the startling announcement that the bass drum is gone. A searching party discovers it in the second floor cage; and once again the orchestra is about to start, when the French horn refuses Mary Louise Green is one of the girls responsible for sending out the clear, ringing tones of the bells.

Over and over the weak spots they play until they must hear those passages in their sleep. But before one knows it, the bell rings; and all make a mad rush for the door. Nevertheless, when the orchestra has finally completed the work on some compo- sition, we are proud of the product. This year we heard the orchestra several times in assembly, also at the Senior Play, and at the Annual Spring Concert, all of which appear- ances called for words of praise. We have many talented musicians in our midst. One plays with the New Jersey Symphony; another is its manager; and several play in the All-State Orchestra.

The A Cappclla Choir was handicapped during the war; numerous instructors came and went until finally, Mr, Barnes, the instructor who has added that certain quality to our music this year as he did years before the war. returned to us. Under his fine hand, the choir has come a long way on the road of success. We have all noticed this quality of success in our Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter assem- blies. The choir has been quite active this year trying to complete a full program. At the P.T.A. meeting in December, they showed the parents of the students just how well they can perform. They gave a Christ mas concert and a Spring concert, and sang at junior high school assemblies, as well as at Jilfcrcnt or gamzations throughout the Oranges. We are all certain that their success will continue. Whenever your frame of mind isn't just what it ought to be, whenever the blues have taken you in their stride, or whenever you’re so happy you could sing, join the choir with the rest of us ind sing your way through all the phases of life!

Marie and June are laughing at your childishness. Ah, love! What a pity those two lonesome bachelors hare ortl) each other for company. A hush falls over the audience as the conductor lifts his baton. The orchestra begins the overture, and another successful senior play has begun. Backstage, everything seems to be in hopeless con- fusion and chaos. The prop girls search hurriedly for missing props, while Mrs. Terry and her committee apply rouge and lipstick to the protesting males. On stage, Mr. Finch and his crew make last-minute re- pairs to the fragile scenery. However, all are ready on time; and the curtain opens to start another successful senior play. If all who worked on this production had not cooperated, we could not have put on so suc- cessful a show. We wish to thank all who helped in any way to make possible this production.” The cast included many fine actors who were chosen from a large group of hopeful aspirants. June Lynch, who took the part of Daffy, the irrepressible fifteen year old daughter of the Edwards family, did a grand job. Ed Bristow and Nancy Abbey, who took the parts of Chester and Agnes Edwards, gave fine performances in portraying middle-aged parents. Ray Hearn as Fred and Pat Clutts as Leila, Chester’s sis- ter, completed the Edwards family. Dave Quinn and Bernice Block as Horace and Mathilda Brooks pro- vided the show with many of its best laughs, although the best one wasn't in the script. Irene Bayowski played their thirteen year old daughter Juanita. Ellen, the maid, and the messenger boy, portrayed by Dot Stearns and Ed Eager respectively, provided other humor. Dick Davis in the role of Ben Hilton, the college prof and Leila's sweetheart, did an outstanding job, although he is rather shy of girls. Audrey Callahan played Mill icent Russell, the town's prettiest girl and rred's one and only; and Kenny Stout played the pompous Mr. Russell, Milly’s father and a very im- portant member of the Chamber of Commerce. Jerry Burns (Harold Baillie), Daffy's boyfriend, and Mary The family hearth seems to be the accepted place for discussions of all kinds. Page 146 My goodness. whyt to disunited, Marie?

Phillips (Marie D'M to), who attempts to trap both Fred and Jerry and fails ail around, completes the cast Although the audience saw only the people on the stage, the play would not have been successful if the various committees had not done such a fine job. To the stage managers, Paul Kelley and Gus Reidinger, should go a great deal of the credit for the fine job they did in making things run smoothly- To our two prompters, Gladys Pustarfi and Mar) Lou Lewis, also goes much credit for the long hours they put in helping the cast memorize lines. There were many committees, also, which gave considerable time and effort to this show. Mr, Finch and his stage crew- put up flars and managed to make the fragile scenery stay up. The art committee under Miss Hcrgt, made posters and painted scenery. The prop committee under Miss Bender managed to pro- vide us with the necessary items to make the play complete. The furniture committee provided the nec- essary chairs and tables‘to furnish the stage under ‘ Pop Blumers guidance. Mrs. Terry and her make- up girls covered everybody in the cast with grease paint; and a fine job they did, according to the vari- ous comments about the make-up. Of course, there were all the girls who served as ushers both nights, and the capable ticket committee under Mr. Eastwood; also the skit committee who planned the program shown to the various schools. Last, but most important of all, was Mrs. Cotter, who gave unstintingly of her time and effort to turn us into an accomplished group of actors. That she did was due to all the work she did to help us. To her should go most of the credit for the success of the show, and we who served with her «hall always be proud of this fact. Page 149 TAMMANY HALL • •••••• Under the astute guidance of Mr. Atwan, this year's Student Congress had a very fruitful and suc- cessful year. The Student Congress, in spite of the fact that it has been functioning in West Orange High School for only a few years, played a very im- portant role in the lives of our fellow students this year. At the beginning of the year Mr. Atwan told the Congress that he had some very ambitious plans to be carried out A large portion of these plans, however, didn't concern this year's activities as much as it will affect the activities of the future students of our high school. In other words, our student governing body has so far been laying the framework for the years to come. This year’s first Student Congress function was the Student Congress Dance, a large part of the proceeds of which, by the way, went to the yearbook. This year’s Congress embarked upon a very prodigious program. The ground work was laid for Student Congress control of every student activity. In the near future every club functioning in school will be compelled to have a charter from the Student Con- gress. In this manner it will act as a clearing house for every school activity. This calendar lists the vari- ous club activities and helps to clear up any misundcr- STUDENT COUNCIL l- ll to right, Rim 1 Dorothy Contos, Patricia Clutts, Jean Motjcrg, Betty Kurt now. Jean Butler.

In addition to dances and social affairs, the Student Congress, at long last, obtained the much sought-after mirrors for the boys rooms. The things that the Congress has done in order to promote better spirit and to improve conditions around school have been very much in evidence. Let us consider the Assembly Council of the Student Congress. This council, al- though almost independent of the Student Congress, is still responsible to the Congress for the type of assembly program presented every Thursday. Just what makes an organiiation, such as our school governing body, effective? The cooperation and the ideas gleaned from the student body at large make this group amount to something. If the stu- dents didn’t encourage their Congress, it wouldn't be worth a hill of beans. It was, therefore, the students Page 150 Al” Purcell—Student Congress president. of West Orange High who made this such a suc- cessful year. This year’s officers were Alfred Pursell, President; Joan Burke, Vice-President; Gladys Pustarfi, Record- ing Secretary; Vester Boal, Treasurer, and Betty New- ell, Corresponding Secretary. The members of the Congress should be commended for sacrificing so much of their time in order to represent the students and give them a voice in self-government; they should be congratulated for the fine job they did.

Tnird row; Dorothy Me Blaine, Anna Finlclc, Jean Malyk, Marion O'Connell Every library hat a managing staff which operates a lending serv- ice and performs its many endless duties. Mrs. Dunkerley, who is the chief librarian, is helped by ihe Library Council in doing these jobs. The chairman is TheJma Clayton, the assistant chairman, Alice Clayton. This dub works untiringly to aid both the teachers and students. The following arc some of their many duties: to prepare books, pamphlets, and magazines for circulation; to collect and mount pictures; to shelve books; 10 help prepare bibliographies; to assist with typing and filing of catalog cards; to maintain an up-to-date file of college catalogs; to prepare displays for the bulletin board; also, to keep the library neat and attractive. Many students gratefully use the material prepared by this gallant crew without realizing how many hours were spent in pre- paring this information. However, the members of the council do not work all of the time. They have had many social activities during the year. One of the main events was a theatre party to New York. One must not think this council to be drudgery, for its members enjoy their work, which is on a voluntary basis. Page IH BOOKING AGENCY ASSEMBLY COUNCIL , „ ,. First row: Jran Salin.

Arnold Itodf, Chnrk Spiroprrfilisf;, Carivel Wrigkr, While you sat back enjoying the assembly periods this past year, did it ever occur to you that each program presented was the result of careful planning? Those who arranged the programs, decorated the stage, and operated lights and projectors were members of the Assembly Council. Miss Peckham was chairman of the two committees, one composed of faculty members and the other of students, which formed the Council. When one of the many school organizations presented a program, the Assembly Council helped by publi cizing the event and by acquiring and arranging stage prop- erties. Professional persons, whose programs added variety to the assemblies, were among those who appeared on the stage. Student musical groups gave performances which proved to be highly enjoyable. Presentations of an educational nature were given in an interesting manner. Dry assemblies did not have to be tolerated because there were none. All in all, the aim of the Assembly Council, which was to provide various types of interesting assembly programs, has been followed successfully during the past year. Miss Peckham—the Ai ternbfy Cot trcrPs fjcnit) adviser. Page 5 5 bmsSSSKSS Barbara Rogh—President of Club Le Cercle Frangais Benjamin Franklin once said, Chaque homme a deux pysr lc sien ct Ja France.” Vivid, indeed, is the truth of this statement to the members of our French Club, who really have, besides our own, another country, the France whose culture, history and customs form an integral part of our activities. One of our first projects was to sponsor a collection of Food and clothing to be sent to a boy's school in Evrcux. To advise us in this project, Mrs. Shccran was a guest at one of our meetings; and together we spent a delightful afternoon while she spoke to us in fa langue fran£iisc.” Here f should like to pay tribute to Miss Allen who equipped herself with a dish towel and willingly helped us with the dishes after our 'tea” of hot chocolate, sandwiches, and cookies. Our plans for the future include a Christmas party when wre shall try to celebrate Christmas with traditional French customs, a trip to New York to see ’’Cyrano dc Bergerac,” an assembly program, and possibly a farewell banquet at the end of the year. Leading us in our activities this year are a fine group of officers: Miles, Rogic, president; Sterns vice-president; Bos- sert, secretary; Matera, treasurer. Page 156 For those who usted no comprende,'' wc are the Spanish CJub, Twice a month after schoof we hold our meetings in Senorita Eaton's room. We are an active club, one which is alive and interesting. The head of the dub is Senor George Spangler and his assistant is Senonta loan Burke, The keeper of the books is Senorita Vester Boaf and the holder of the money, Senorita Margi Sctfati The heads of the program committee, Senorita Nancy Kennedy and Senorita Nancy Wilson, have done an excellent job. During the year, native speakers have enter- tained us, and we have played Spanish games and sung Span- ish songs; moreover, we have participated in Spanish plays. The delicious refreshments, which wc all have often cnioycd, were made possible by Senorita Terry Vecchione and her refreshment committee. Senorita Eaton and Senora Seaman are the faculty advisers. This year our school held its first Christmas formal El Circulo Cervantes, in conjunction with the Home Economics Club, sponsored this dance. Entertainment was given by our dub, and refreshments were prepared by the Home Economics Club, The members of the dub went on two trips to New York, where we attended Spanish movies and ate in Spanish restaurants. New members are initiated at the end of each year, each candidate being compelled to undergo some aft to show his good sportsmanship The aims of the dub are to increase one’s vocabulary and to develop an interest in our Latin American neighbors, • a r v� ‘Sieltcn, B rlsftf WarSli 2TErh ra Don , irijiitr Zed .

THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING INSTITUTE The Home Economics Club, which is affiliated with the National Organization, The Future Home- makers of America, is composed of chartered state associations, which, in turn, are made up of local chapters in senior high schools offering home eco- nomics. Its motto, Toward New Horizons ' ex- presses the purposes of the organization-—learning to live better lives today in order that their lives and those of their families may be better tomorrow. Its colors, which are red and white, are symbolic of youth which has courage and unwavering determina- tion to succeed. The red rose is its flower, which is symbolic of vibrant, glowing health. Its active membership has four degrees, based upon achievements; namely, Homemaker, Chapter Homemaker, Slate Homemaker, and American Home- maker One of its members, Betty Fortescue, has been elected State Treasurer. The club was very active in selling candy at the football games, and at the basketball games. It entertained the sophomore girls and their mothers at a tea; it put on a Christmas Formal Dance with the Spanish Club; it entertained club members from other state clubs; it planned a fashion show and held an annual picnic. It is composed of three groups: the Foods Club, under Miss Blanker and Miss Lamb, Miss Quinn's group, and Miss Schwcnk s.

This activity, sponsored by Miss Hergt of the art department, meets every Wednesday during club period. The purpose of the club is to provide an opportunity for those genuinely interested in completing special projects. One of the interesting highlights of this club is the ceramic work which was introduced into the club this year. Besides this ceramic work there arc other individual projects being done; for example, | en and ink draw ings, water colors, poster-pain tings, and fashion drawing. Heretofore, the Art Club has not gone on a trip or taken charge of an assembly. Tradition has, at last, been cast aside! Wc have arranged to sec Carousel ’ in March and are planning an assembly program. The officers elected (o represent this dub are President, Helen Fredcridcson; Vice-President. Ed Havas; Secretary, Jeanette Delaney; and Treasurer, Bill Elberty, We, of the Art Club, would like to take this time to thank Miss Hergt for her tireless efforts in making the club enjoyable and yet worthwhile.

The Automat Squad No slots (or nkkels decorate our cafeteria, bat our cashiers could probably give in Autonut cashier a run for his money. The fellows and girls on the cafeteria squad are among the favored few who have been emancipated from mental arithmetic by the use of adding machines — not completely emancipated from all brain work though; for they, at least, have to know which of the keys to punch for sandwiches. ice cream, milk, and so forth. And another thing, these kids are paid twenty-five cents for every extra lunch period they lounge around the cafeteria. Too bad there isn’t room behind those counters for a few more cashiers! Atomic Bomb Commission Mr. Ttrwilliger prepares to dr setose one of she prof and truths of the universe to bis classes. Looks like there arc always some people who haven't enough of school. It's the members of the Industrial Chem- istry Club I'm speaking of. Yes, those people devote every Tuesday after school to their burning desire for knowledge: and I mean burning. The dub is limited to the members of the general chemistry classes only, It seems that the members of these classes decided that they would like to have more detailed work; so, to accommodate them, the school organized the Chemistry Club. Doesn't seem possible that such things happen, docs it? The purpose of the club is to link up chemistry with practical everyday experiences. After a good, well-rounded background of knowledge has been accomplished by its members, industrial methods will be studied, Mr Tcr- williger. their adviser, demonstrates experiments and the like for his congregation to keep things popping. If anyone doesn't believe the latter part of the foregoing statement, drop around to one of Mr. Terwiltiger s so-called demonstra tions and don’t forget your asbestos suit. The goal of the members is very aptly stated bv an author- ized person Of course, the ambition of most of them is to reach a level higher than that of most pupils; this is a thing they undoubtedly will do if they are not careful about mixing things.

I'nsn, Dan I ii.an, Mr. If you ever hear any weird noises being emitted from that small room in the left win)� on the first floor, don't be surprised. It’s only the Visual Aid Club Don’t ask me what noises have to do with visual aid because I don't know. Maybe the sound projector was acting up; or maybe it was the boys shall I say, deciding who was to fun the machine. Thts dub certainly has rendered an invaluable service to the school by running the projec- tion equipment for the benefit of the assemblies and individual class- es. Why, just imagine bow many tests were missed while students were being enter!atned by a member of this dub. The Club meets dur- ing activity periods on Wednesday and discusses and learns about its equipment. So far the members have handled the sound projectors, the slide machine, the recorder, the amplifiers, the opaque projector, and the microphone. During this period films arc also shown, some- times with the company oi another club The members do not limit their learning only to movie equip- ment as I learned from a round table discussion on the subject of radio This year the nucleus of the dub has been the advisers, Mr. Wcnner and Mr. Eastwood, and the four seniors, Wilbur Sommers, Lowell Wallace, Alva Decker, and Kenny Stout. The rest of the group, comprised of sophomores and jun- iors, will probably carry on the work of the club in the next two years. Movie Projectors1 Local 1945 IPjrcl f i’iw ! DiviiJi Trlilll.

The following stolen transcrip; from one of their more secret meetings was borrowed from Drew Pearson. Time: Early one morning about nine P M. Scene: A deserted safety deposit box vault. On one wall is the standard of the Junior Shy lock League; it is a design consisting of gold coins upon a blue field of I.O.U. notes in an upper corner, and of clauses em- blazoned upon a background of red ink and graphs in the center. Off in the distance is a black dove carrying a mortgage in its beak and foreclosures in either claw. Clink, clink, clink — three raps of the gavel upon a pile of silver call the meeting to order. The minutes arc read, and the members begin a revolting discussion. Plans are made to rebel, to overthrow this govern- ment and set up a capitol in Wall Street, to auction off the armed forces to old maids for what they’ll bring, and to give everyone a two weeks’ vacation at Fort Knox—steam shovels to be rented by the hour. When the meeting is ended, the members file out giv- ing (heir salute, a hand held over the wallet, and go to their appointed tasks. Unfortunately, there is no way in which to verify these charges; so it is only proper to tell what is known to be the actual truth, as well as these rumors. Under the excellent direction of Mrs. Evans, the Commercial Club has adhered to its policies of gaining along professional, educational, recreational, social, and inspira- tional lines. A slight membership fee is charged for those who join; but member- ship is restricted to those having a mark of 7or better in their business subjects and passing all their other courses. “Katharine Gibbs” Girls Uft to right, Row 1: Urnint Fairchild, Gertrude Guatavacn.

Our school newspaper, in its first year, takes our time; but we think it’s worth it. When our editor-in-chief. Hazel Cummings, gives our assignments to the news reporters, then starts the sleep-robbing, nerve-wracking process of getting a newspaper into print. Those reporters certainly do have a “nose for ncws“; they dig it up, write it up, and turn it in to be checked by our editors, who already have their own troubles in getting their editorials finished by the deadline. Then our typists arc deluged with manuscripts; you can hear those typewriters clacking till the “wee hours of the morning. Meanwhile, the art staff is desperately sketching cartoons and small illustrations to decorate our paper. All this time, the deadline is approaching at an alarming speed. With frequent proddings from Mr. Thomas, our adviser, and Hazel, everything is at last turned in and rushed off to the linotypers, wrho make up the columns so that the editorial staff can check for errors and lay out a “dummy. 1 It’s off to the printer's the next day, and we slump down in our chairs to sleep. � . —«iMn Everyone is in a hurry to leave school except Ken.

' In fact, most of the students enjoy this program so much that they carry its main idea over into their daily life. Every morning the honor students are beseiged by the plain, ordinary students with requests for information on English IV, U. S. History II, chemistry, and many other subjects. However, no sets of the Encyclopaedia Britannica are awarded to those who ask questions which stump those experts of honor roll fame. Seriously though, we feel that our honor students should be congratulated upon having done a good job: for they have maintained, at least, an eighty-five percent accuracy in all their subjects for the past three years. ft , if 1. 2. 3, 4, 5. 6. 1.

The phrase “What fools we mortals be may be aptly applied to the rest of us when we regard those immortals inhaling the exhalted atmosphere of the upper go's and 00's. The e astronomical figure were not easily acquired, but were the result of hard work and patience. One can mentally visualize the long night hours they spend in pursuit of their desire—yw, hours gladly bartered for education. One car safely assume that these individuals are of a high-minded variety that enjoys studying for its own sake and not really for the high marks that result from con- stant perseverance. The actions of the present group of honor students indicate that the future great should be even more highly developed. Imagine the Utopia that shall e i$t: pupils below 90% shall be failures, recreation shall consist of memorizing literature, all shall understand Einstein’s theory, and everyone shall know what “Serutan spells backwards. Yes, this then is the prospect for tomorrow. Want to avoid it? Then steadfastly refuse to learn anything in class, Try it; it’ll come naturally.
