EXPANDING HORIZONS WEST ORANGER Published by the Students of West Orange High School WEST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY The horizon of an American has expanded from the initial local community, across a continent, over the oceans to include both hemispheres and now to the brink of the space age—the Universe—the unknown horizon of unlimited potential and hope for mankind. A direct analogy can be drawn between the expanding horizon of an American and the ex- panding horizon of a student progressing through West Orange High School. This is the theme of the 1961 W est-O-Ranger. The faculty might be compared to the community of an individual. The immediate surroundings of the individual are always the most familiar and have infinite bearing on his future. Just as the horizon of the American gradually extended beyond the immediate community, ac- tivities expand the horizon of the student beyond the requirements of the curriculum. As a sophomore enters high school he is on the frontier of learning. The three years of high school life of the individual are formative years, and do for him what the frontier did for the American in years gone past. Nothing expands our horizons as much as par- ticipation in competitive athletics. Interscholastic competition develops initiative, determination and sportsmanship. Athletic competition has a universal appeal that overcomes language, custom and race barriers, and together with ease of communica- tion and transportation has tended to make our world a small one. Our horizon as graduating seniors in this day and age is virtually the world, and might shortly include the universe. At no other time in our his- tory have young people had at their disposal the instruments of communication and transportation that we take for granted. The story of an American's expanding horizon is portrayed by the art work throughout this book. As his horizon expands the story of the past year at West Orange High School unfolds to the reader. The class of 1961 has arrived at a new frontier. As the last class to graduate as a unit in West Orange, we are proud to present the largest year- book ever published at West Orange High School, the 1961 West-O-Ranger.

JOSEPH TYLUS His sparkling wit and pleasant disposition make Mr. Tylus extremely popular with the student body, as well as with the faculty. As Director of Guidance, Mr. Joseph Tylus is all-important in opening new frontiers for the students of West Orange High. His antics and lectures on the Leadership Training Conference will not be soon forgotten by those students who attended. A graduate of Trenton State College, Mr. Tylus earned his master's degree at Seton Hall University. He has spent his entire teaching career at West Orange High. As a senior English teacher and advisor to the West- O Ranger before becoming Director of Guidance, Mr. Tylus did much to enrich the senior year in school. In his present capacity he advises senior boys as to selecting an occupation or a college and heads the administration of the guidance department. The Class of 1961 is proud to dedicate the Wesf-O- Ranger to Mr. Joseph Tylus in grateful appreciation of his untiring efforts for the student body of West Orange High. 6 MEMORIUM RAYMOND E. HEARN The untimely passing of Mr. Raymond E. Hearn was of deep concern to both the student body and the faculty of West Orange High School. Before his retirement less than two years ago, Mr. Hearn had served as our principal for 15 years. Those of us who were fortunate enough to know Mr. Hearn remember him as an able administrator, and as a warm, understanding person with an exceptionally fine sense of humor. Scores of West Orange graduates personally knew of Mr. Hearn's genial nature and his ability to handle all of the multitudinous problems of young people with the wisdom of his years of experience, tempered with a young man's view- point. LEIGH BLUMER Pop ' as he was affectionately called by hundreds of West Orange High students, was an extraordinary teach- er and person. U.S. History came alive daily in his in- formal but informative class. No one was more consistently cheerful and fair than he. We looked forward to his humorous comments in the classroom and in the hall. A nature and outdoor enthusiast, Mr. Blumer looked forward to Sunday excursions to the country with his family. While at home he enjoyed collecting antiques to improve his noted collection. We will miss Pop and his ready smile. The reading of this book which is woven around our history will bring pleasant memories of Pop to all our minds. 7 JESSE I. TAYLOR Superintendent Mr. Taylor, a graduate of Wesleyan University, re- ceived his master's degree from the Teachers' College of Columbia University. After teaching in Islip, Long Island, he came to West Orange High School to teach chemistry and to coach the football team. Mr. Taylor was soon raised to the position of Vice- principal of the high school, then to the position of Principal of Edison Jr. High, and to his present post of Acting Superintendent. He is planning to obtain necessary additions to the elementary schools and to plan programs that will give a major consideration to the students' personality and attitudes toward their studies and their lives. FRANK S. ALBRIGHT Director of Secondary Education Dr. Albright holds the important position of Director of Secondary School Education. He came to West Orange from the Midwest in 1956 and has since been an asset to the school system in developing curriculum and inter- class co-ordination. Dr. Albright graduated from Bradley University, received a master's degree from the Uni- versity of Illinois, and holds a PhD. from the University of Chicago.

WINE Principal Mr. Wine graduated from Lebanon Valley College and has since become an honored and respected personality in the West Orange School System. Among his many duties in the past Mr. Wine has taught history, has been principal of Hazel Avenue School, and is currently principal of the high school. He takes an active interest in the happiness and well-being of the students and has earned the respect of all. The outset of the '60's introduced o brooder scope in . . . EDWARD E. JOHNSON Vice-Principal Mr. Johnson, a graduate of Dickinson College received his master's degree from New York University. He was recently elevated to the position of Vice-Principal of West Orange High School. During his past thirteen years at the high school Mr. Johnson has taught English and history, coached the football team, and been a member of the guidance department. This year, aside from his regular administrative duties, he has made possible our excellent assembly programs and promoted leadership and citizenship among the students. HAYDN EVANS Administrative Assistant Mr. Evans received his bachelor's degree from Grove City College and his master's degree from Montclair State College. After teaching classes in Business Edu- cation, he became an administrative assistant. Mr. Evans is concerned with the attendance and discipline of WOHS students and aids the placement department. He finds it pleasing to assist students who need help.

As more discoveries are made and man's knowledge is broadened, citizens must be prepared to adopt them- selves to a different and a more complex society. It is a recognized fact that if a student is to be able to meet the responsibilities of a future adult life, he must be afforded beneficial experiences during his edu- cation. These experiences are not to be found solely within the confines of an academic schedule. One must look farther and realize that life consists of more than math, science, or English. The student of today must be allowed the opportunity to mold himself into a re- sponsible adult in tomorrow's society. Keeping this idea in mind, West Orange High School has successfully built a strong extra-curricular program over the years. These school sponsored activities give students a chance to broaden old interests and discover new ones. They offer the student the necessary time and instruction to practice a skill, to explore a future career, or to study the culture of a people. In the Language Clubs, students of French, Latin, and Spanish meet exchange students and see films pertain- ing to their particular way of life. These are activities which could not be carried out in the classroom because of the time element. Boys and girls who do not have the time to go out for a school sport may participate in gym activities of the several Physical Education Clubs. Future scientists may increase their knowledge by at- tending one of the various Science and Technology Clubs. Each year as new activities are added to the extra- curricular program, the student is given an opportunity to partake in new experiences. It is the hope of West Orange High School that these experiences will enable the student to one day leave the world of a student and become a responsible adult.

Jeff Keil explains the purpose of the yearbook to Sophomores at the Sophomore Hop . Students and alumni can point with pride to the outstanding work ac- complished throughout the years by our Student Council. This year's or- ganization continued to uphold the council's fine tradition and high reputa- tion throughout the state. Comprised of one representative from each homeroom plus the executive committee and under the guidance of Mr. Thomas Guest and Mr. Franklin Mull, the council's activities include supervision of class elections, control of the parking lot, selection of the Football Queen, and sponsorship of the Big Switch and Co-ed Nights. The popular Co-ed Nights provide recrea- tion for West Orange High teen-agers as well as raise money for various worthy causes. This year the Student Council members once again demonstrated their benevolence by their work at the Janet Memorial Home. Volunteer students donated many of their free hours to entertain the youngsters residing there. Our high school was well represented at the New Jersey Association of High School Councils. Fourteen council members including President Herb Jacobsen, Vice-President Betsy Morris, Treasurer Bobby Saiber, Recording Secretary Ginger Blair and Corresponding Secretary Karen Fogle attended the conference at Rutgers University. Our Student Council also played a key role in the Inter-Orange Council. Initiated this year by West Orange High School was the Student Coun- cil Leadership Training Conference at Camp Kiamesha. Thirty-seven repre- sentatives from the three classes enjoyed social gatherings and an opportunity to acquire principles of good leadership. They were taught group organiza- tion philosophy in an attempt to better our school organizations. The forma- tion of this leadership conference will assure West Orange students of con- tinued fine leadership in their Student Council. 28 Enthusiastic students pour from the buses at the Leadership Training Conference at Camp Kiamesha.

Herman, J. Koil. West Orange has been fortunate to have had within its school for the past several years a chapter of the National Honor Society of Sec- ondary Schools. This past October saw twenty-eight additional West Orange students honored by their induction into this organization. It was truly an honor, for one cannot be admitted without possessing the attri- butes of outstanding scholarship, fine character, strong leadership, and a willingness to serve. Annually numerous juniors are nominated for mem- bership, but only after careful consideration of their qualifications are a select number approved. Led by President Ken Graham, Vice-President Eleanor Landaas, Treas- urer Thor Skoland, and Secretary Carol Christian and guided by faculty advisor John Huber, the group continued the beneficial programs which have distinguished it in past years. In addition to organizing a spirited motorcade for the Thanksgiving Day gridiron encounter with Columbia High School and posting the Honor Roll, the Society once again offered its services to any students desiring free tutoring. The club members volun- tarily gave of their own free time to help fellow classmates with their studies. Instituted last year and continued this year was a work day. Indi- viduals of the club spent one day performing a service for someone from whom they received just compensation. This money was presented as a scholarship to a worthy candidate. The fine work accomplished by the National Honor Society has resulted in its classification as one of the most respected clubs in our school. 30 Jeff Keil and Loretta Kizer take part in the National Honor Society induction ceremony.

Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary this year, The Roundup again received first place rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. This award honors the high standards of writing and coverage represented by each of the nine issues of the Roundup published during the 1960-1961 school year. Editors-in-Chief Eleanor Landaas and Stephanie Rosenbaum and faculty advisor Mr. Richard Evers have ably guided the Roundup staff, which has provided the student body with interesting and informative reports of school news. They are aided by business managers Sidney Bloom and Mark Goldin, and picture editor Michael Herman. In addition to publishing one of the finest papers of its type in the nation, the staff contributes to the welfare of the school by managing the refreshment stand at football games and selling candy after school. The profits from these enterprises help to pay the expenses of the paper. 32 Mr. Evers proudly reports another first place from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Steffii Rosenbaum and Eleanor Lan- daas, Co-Editors-in-Chief of the Roundup, begin another hard day's work in the Roundup office. 33 THE WEST=ORANGER Coordinating the efforts of the entire staff is the job of Editor-in-Chief Jeff Keil. revealing the potentials of tomorrow . . . Publishing the best yearbook ever presented at WOHS is the task of the West-O-Ranger staff. Due to the newly built Mountain High School, 1961 was the last year that there was only one senior class in West Orange. The large size of the class increased the difficulty of meeting dead- lines; however, the book was completed to the satisfaction of both the staff and student body. As an aid to the editors and staff of the West-O-Ranger, the Yearbook Club was initiated this year. Meeting every Tuesday morning this club fulfilled its purpose by accomp- lishing the necessary tasks associated with yearbook pro- duction. Jeff Keil, Editor-in-Chief, the section editors, and the 34 Sue Jay and Joe Kleinchester give helpful advice to Gerry concerning the layout of the West-O-Ranger. yearbook staff, under the guidance of Mr. Robert Fennell, have attempted to present a yearbook which is truly rep- resentative of 1961 at WOHS. Editor-in-Chief, Jeff Keil and two members of his staff, Barbara Hershberg and Joan Rudenstein look over some pictures for the yearbook. Gil and Dave work hard in the darkroom developing photos for the yearbook. Cindy and Al, Advertising Editors of the West-O-Ranger, survey the book's financial situation. Tom Cruthers, Ken Graham, and John Schupper relive the decisive moments of the 1961 athletic seasons while choosing pictures for the sports sec- tion. 35 The Cauldron The Cauldron, literary magazine of West Orange High School, enables students to reveal their creative writing talents. The collection of diversified poems, stories, and essays published an- nually brings enjoyment to all readers. Teachers and students submit material they think worthy of pub- lication. Original art work is used to illustrate the articles. A special feature this year was the cover contest in which students submitted designs from which the attractive new cover was chosen. The publication of The Cauldron is the result of the activities of the Creative Writing Club, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Casey. Headed by editors, Karen Lando and Victor Miller, the club mem- bers select manuscripts, plan the lay-out, publicize the magazine, and type copy as well as carry on sales. Working on The Cauldron staff provides experience for students preparing for careers in journalism, advertising, and illustrating. Mrs. Casey and Dave Weinstein discuss an article for The Cauldron. Mrs. Casey reviews last minute instructions for the Cauldron writers. Cauldron editor, Karen Lando, reads a submitted story to the student critics. 36 using opportunities for self-expression . . . Each week, the do's and dont's of journalism for a high school paper are discussed. The club has been making use of the newest study guide to school newspaper processes, a text entitled. Springboard to Journalism. The club took part in the Scholastic Press Conference at Columbia and Upsala. At these meetings members participated in round table discussions, heard various speeches, and picked up some valuable 'tips7 from the top newsmen and advisers in the country. These trips were enjoyed by all. The purpose of the Press Club is to acquaint students with journalism and to prepare them to serve on the Roundup staff. Jane Jacobs shows Press Club members a cartoon she wishes to use in the Roundup. 37 The experiment appears a success to all but Bill Wharton in Chemistry Club. SCIENCE AND Supplementing the regular classes are the Tuesday morning Science and Technology Clubs. Under the competent direction of Mr. Donald Struyk, Physics Club members are given a glimpse of subjects that are not usually included in a high school physics curriculum. Ranging from such topics as the wave particle duality to the special and general theories of relativity, interested students see what lies in store for them if they follow a career in the field of physics. Mr. TECHNOLOGY Struyk analizes the future scientists7 grasp of certain subjects as an aid in planning next year's curriculixn. Organic and inorganic compound testing is this year's Chem- istry Club project. Under the chemical supervision of Mr. Leslie Bauerle, the Tuesday morning club performs experiments which further the information received during the week's chemistry class. The club also aids the chemistry department in preparing labs and lab supplies. Future Einsteins Thor Skoland, Dave Harlow, Larry Nelson, and Teddy Hess observe and analyze a prob- lem in Physics Club. 38 Miss Kunz looks on as members of the Math Club discuss an intriguing problem in Trigonometry. confronting unexplored ideas . . .

Haakon Bryhn and Joel Sha- piro repair an oscilloscope used for testing purposes in the Electronics Club. 39 LANGUAGE CLUBS Cultivation of a deeper interest in the French people is the goal of the French Club, advised by Mrs. Marilyn Zirl. During this year, club members have increased their knowledge of French customs, particularly as they relate to life in France during the four seasons. With the proceeds of the presenta- tion of a full length French .movie, the French Club plans to aid a French war orphan. Habla Ud. espanol? is the greeting extended to los chicos and las chicas of the Spanish Club. Aided by Mr. Gino Parisi, the club's advisor, the club attempts to give its members more of an insight into the lives of the many Spanish speaking peoples of the world. Ave Caesar sung to the tune of Clementine is one of the many methods Miss Mary Loughren's Latin Club uses to revive the ancient Roman language. An annual attraction for the club members is a mock slave auction which attracted many buyers this year. Highlighting the club's activities was a trip to New York where the Young Caesars attended a showing of Spartacus. Spanish Club members combine Spanish chatter and American refreshments into a fiesta. Monsieur Jeff Kaplan is served by Mademoiselle Sue Manteli in French Club Christmas Party. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Our school has been fortunate this year to have had three students who have come to West Orange from their European homes. These indi- viduals, Jean-Paul de Baets, Haakon Bryhn, and Annette Vock, have joined West Orange students in a reciprocal opportunity to expand our under- standing of our friends across the sea. Jean-Paul is an American Field Service exchange student from Brus- sels, Belgium. He has already graduated from high school and has visited several European countries prior to his trip to America. Although finding it difficult at first to adjust to our way of life, Jean-Paul has grown familiar with our customs and feels, It will be difficult to do without cars and hot dogs. Our student body and faculty alike will certainly be sorry to say farewell to Jean-Paul. This June he will tour the United States before returning to his homeland. Haakon, who hails from Oslo, Norway, has lived with a West Orange family for the duration of this school year. An outstanding athlete, he was a valuable member of our championship hockey squad. Brian, as he is known to many of his classmates, has found our American school system to differ greatly from the system common to Europe. Haakon plans to return to Oslo in July. Annette is a native of Germany but has spent most of her life in Spain and France. She has found that people in various lands do not differ greatly. We are most fortunate in that Annette does not have to return to Europe, as do Jean-Paul and Haakon, but will remain in West Orange. Benefiting greatly from our foreign visitors, the members of our two International Relations clubs have enjoyed an informative year which was climaxed by a trip to the United Nations. Mr. Clifton Carlson and Mr. Rob- ert McRoberts have ably guided these organizations. Belgian AFS student, Jean-Paul DeBaets, offers a suggestion in Student Council. promoting world understanding . . . Annette Vock and Haakon Bryhn examine one of the many college catalogues available in the guidance office.

Assisting the administration and the student body, the Service Clubs act in various capacities at WOHS. Miss Withrow's Art Service Club added an artistic touch to many school activities throughout the year. Posters and program covers deal- ing with all phases of school life were constructed by the young artists. One of the club's outstanding services this year was the posting of an athletic scoreboard to keep the student body aware of our team standings. Administrative burdens are greatly lessened by our student secre- taries, ambitious girls aspiring to a commercial career. Guided by Mrs. Joan Hasbrouck, the girls become private secretaries to the teachers and assist the office staff in its work. The Library Council is an organization dedicated to the improve- ment of our school. By assisting Mrs. Mary Mauro and Mrs. Elsie Meyer in the mending, cataloguing, and care of our books, these young librari- ans keep our library in tip-top condition throughout the school year. They are rewarded for their efforts by a spring convention of librarians from schools in the surrounding area. Directed by Mr. Thomas MacEwen, camera enthusiasts learn the basic rules of photography each Tuesday morning in the Photography Club. The club members offer indispensable aid to the Roundup and West-O-Ranger staffs by furnishing pictures for these publications. The Junior Red Cross Club, advised by Miss Hulda Luthman and Miss Lynn Flynn, performs invaluable services for many nonprofit or- ganizations. The members, under Chairman Joan De Rocco and Secre- tary Barbara Klein, make decorations for the VA Hospital and other institutions receiving aid from the Red Cross. Clicking keys of Terry Ferri set the tempo of the Student Secretaries. 42 Ed Ganning demonstrates a new piece of equipment to the Photography Club.

Skill and imagination go hand in hand with the Art Service Club. 43 Service to the school is the main function of the Stage and Lighting crews and the Visual Aids Club. The Stage Crew assists in all assembly programs and is a vital contributor to school productions. Under the direction of Mr. Robert De Maine the dozen boys comprising the Lighting Crew aid at all school assemblies, dances, concerts and special pro- ductions. Ready, willing, and able to assist any teacher who requires visual aids to instruct his course, members of the Visual Aids Club offer an important service to the academic program of West Orange High School. The club's advisor, Mr. John Brown, teaches the club members how to show motion pictures and how to repair visual aids equipment. The house lights dim and the curtain slowly opens as Paul Steinberg watches from backstage. Vincent Yannuzzi and Douglas Wilson set up another first run feature film for the Visual Aids Club. TECHNICAL SERVICE CLUBS Bob and Joe know that it isn't the actors alone who produce a successful show. 51 8 Mf rr CAREER CLUBS During Easter, Future Nurses masquerade at the House of the Holy Comforter. While Sam Cherny looks on, Bob Becker of the Physicians' Club tells an unknown friend, Slip me some skin looking forward to new vocations Under the supervision of Mr. Alex Maccia, the Future Teach- ers of America Club offers its members a taste of the teaching career. Employing films, speakers, and visits to other schools, the FTA attempts to give its club members enough insight into the field of education so as to allow them to decide whether that is where their ability lies. Highlighting this year's agenda was a visit to the State University. Interested aspirants to the nursing profession become acquainted with the full meaning of nursing through the Future Nurses of America Club. The club members hear many interesting guest speakers and familiarize themselves with the profession by visiting several hospitals and coming in direct contact with the patients. Miss Margaret Lumely, our school nurse, guides the nurses-to-be by giving them many helpful pointers in their future career. Marking its first year at WOHS, the Future Physicians Club is one branch of a nation wide organization which gives medical candidates a greater understanding of the work and life of a doctor. This year's program, supervised by Dr. Stanley S. Fieber, offered club members medical projects, guest speakers, films, group discussions, and field trips. Topics covered by the physicians to be were pre-medical and medical schools, internships, and residency. Feeling that the ability to type is a practical aid in any pro- fession, a typing club is almost a necessity. Instructed by Miss Elma Holman, Typing Club members learn the fundamental rules of typing procedure. Aside from standard exercises, students are allowed to type up their own projects and reports. Are Jewelry Club members Jim Finn, Ray Fluta, and Donald Gottheimer creating gems or reading newspapers? Lapardy, the art of working with semi-precious gems, is only part of the training received by the Jewelry Club members from Mr. George Bizlewick. Among other things, decorative jewelry such as bracelets, pins, and earrings have been made by these talented students. Although all the club members have shown a great interest, this year two boys, Gary de Zao and Bill Rice, have done outstanding work. Stitcher in the Needlecraft Club spent their leisure club periods indulging in various types of needlework such as knitting, crocheting, and sewing. One of the more practical school groups, the Needlecraft Club gives its members an opportunity to add to their wardrobe and at the same time learn new and different sewing techniques from Miss Madeline Quinn. As one of several afternoon clubs, the Leathercraft Club, directed by Mr. Donald Bush, concentrated on the manufacture of leather goods. The members carved, tooled, and also designed leather from their own original patterns. They made such items as golf gloves, briefcases, belts, and leather holsters. Ed Bauman looks on with awl as Mr. Bush demonstrates the technique of engraving leather during a meeting of the Leather- craft Club. As demonstrated by Doris Groves, the Needlecraft Club opens the door to sewing skills and pleasures. uniting in spirit COW-CON . . . and thus concludes another industrious meeting of Cow-Con. Cow-Con has always successfully achieved its single purpose: the encouragement of school spirit in WOHS. Credit for the fine support given to our football team by the WOHS student body can be directly attributed to the outstanding job done by this spirited organization. Among other things, Cowboys Consolidated is responsible for the annual football pep rally and bonfire as well as booster tags worn by most WOHS students during the football season. Weekly poster parties at the homes of several WOHS students result in the many colorful posters that annually decorate our halls during the fall sports season. Guided by faculty advisor, John Pettit, and President, Carol Wenny, Cowboy Consolidated this year hopes to enlarge its activities to include the support of winter and spring ath- letics. Although this organization is not run on a club basis, plans are being formulated to make Cow-Con a part of next year's club program. 47 Pre-Orange game bonfire raises spirits to a feverish pitch. Bottoms Up ' cheers the Phys. Ed. Club. Physical fitness and the development of muscular control are the main objectives of the Physical Education Club. Students are instructed weekly by Miss Nancy Trainer, Mr. John Prach, and Mr. Joseph Hince in the intricacies of tumbling and calisthenics. They displayed their skills before the entire student body in the annual sports assembly. An innovation in this year's program was the addition of tennis and golf instruction in the spring. Instituted for the first year at West Orange High School, the Wrestling Club, under the supervision of Mr. Philip Congilose and Mr. Jerome Sorenson, has proved to be one of the most popular clubs in this year's program. The grapplers are instructed weekly in the funda- mentals of wrestling, a sport in which all around physical fitness and sharp reflexes are vital assets. Several members of the Wrestling Club demonstrated their achievements during the sports assembly this year. Initiated this year was the Modern Dance Club, instructed by Miss Paula Catalano. The purpose of this club is to educate girls in the arts of rhythm and movement so that they may express themselves creatively. Barbara Alford and Sue Sager are the officers of the thirty-two talented girls in this group, which also performed for the school in assembly. Bridge fans had to be divided into two groups this year because of the large number of students who displayed an interest in the game. Taught by Miss Avis Clarke and Mrs. Salowe, beginners were in- structed in basic rules of bridge while the more advanced students were given the opportunity to work on some of the game's finer points. Checkmate is the ultimate goal of all chess enthusiasts and our Chess Club members are no exception. Every Tuesday morning, under the guidance of Mr. Pasqual Pacillo, the players practice techniques of chess and learn new strategies. One of the highlights of the year was a chess tournament that Eric Greenbaum organized as a stimulus for the club. Eric is one of the top ranking chess players in the state. practicing inherent abilities . . . SKILLS AND RECREATION CLUBS Bill O'Conner and Mel Russin practice a new hold under the watchful eyes of Mr. Congelose and Mr. Sorenson. 48 Boys assume assorted uncomfortable positions in Wrestling Club.

Modern Dance Club brings a country folk dance through history into a modern gymnasium. 49 COMMUNICATION CLUBS Exceptionally talented members of the Afternoon Debate Club compete in various debates throughout the metropolitan area. Dur- ing this year's competition our orators won an award at the Dwight Morrow Debating Contest and also accumulated a substantial num- ber of points for extemporaneous speaking in the debate at Spring- field Regional High School. Club President Myra Cohen and club advisor Miss Mary Loughren have planned a two day field trip to the speech festival at Temple University to take place in the latter part of the year. The Morning Debate Club assembles each Tuesday during club period. Under the guidance of Miss Norma Harrison, the club mem- bers practice their public speaking, debating, and reading in the same method as the afternoon club. Oratory, the art of public speaking, is encouraged in the Panel Discussion Club. Miss Violet Cotter attempts to help individuals with their various speech problems by stimulating conversation. The method used to aid the members with public speaking is to have them listen to tape recordings of their own speeches. Besides working with the stage crew in assembly programs and school productions, the Audio Crew assembles the sound equip- ment used at football and basketball games. expressing our viewpoints . . .

At WOHS it has always been felt that assembly programs serve a vital function of school life. Not only are they educational and entertaining, but also they aid in developing a sense of unity throughout the entire school. The return to one single assembly program this year instead of the two used in previous years advanced this aim still further. Supervising the presentation of these diversified programs were Mr. Edward Johnson and Mr. John Huber. Along with other faculty members they have tried to stimulate greater student participation integrated with professional presentations. The results of these plans have been manifested in such forms as the class talent shows and the Project Mercury program; the Christmas assembly program and the Fisher Body Company presentation. Other highlights of the year's assembly programs were the campaign orations by the eighteen student commissioners, the Band, Orchestra, and Dance Band assemblies, the Debate Club's discussion of beards, and the three sports awards assemblies. The sacrifice of much time and effort by all concerned has led to the fine variety and quality of the programs presented this year. This trend will continue to develop with supervisional assistance by the faculty and enthusiastic support from the students. The Volcanos erupt with their rendition of El Cu- banchero.

Student Commissioner Elections Mayor James Sheeran, Student Mayor Mike Herman, and his secretary, Carol Cuozzi, pause in a hectic day of politikin'. Commissioner Young and his barrage of assistants take time out for an informal shot. Organized and supervised through the cooperation of Mr. Thomas Guest, Mr. John Huber, and Mr. Robert Mc- Roberts, the Student Commissioner Program is an annual affair which provides an opportunity for students to learn more about West Orange government by actual participa- tion. The student elections are conducted in the same manner as the town elections. All candidates for office are required to obtain a petition of at least one hundred signatures. Those who have the proper number of signatures may then campaign for one week. A special election assembly cli- maxes the campaign. Any student who has properly regis- tered may vote for the five candidates of his choice. The five winners are declared student commissioners for a day and each may make approximately ten student appoint- ments. This year, a record number of eighteen students vied for the commission posts. Those chosen to represent WOHS at Town Hall were Michael Herman, Mayor and Commis- sioner of Public Safety; Carol Christian, Commissioner of Public Affairs; Eileen Malanga, Commissioner of Public Works; Charles Young, Commissioner of Revenue and Finance, and Howard Olson, Commissioner of Public Safety. On March 21, the student commissioners, their fifty ap- pointees, and student town attorney, Frank Volpe, de- scended upon Town Hall to observe and practice the intricacies of town government. During the day the newly elected department heads executed the duties connected with their respective departments and in the evening pre- sented the results of their work at a mock town meeting. experiencing responsibility . . . 54 Community Service Hours Eric Moss demonstrates a set shot to a group of boys at the Orange YMCA. Debbie Mowle aids a youngster at the Valley Settlement House. The Community Service Program, under the auspices of the senior history department, requires each senior to com- plete at least fifteen hours of community service in order to graduate. As in the past, the Cowboys have served at the Janet Memorial Home, Kessler Institute, the Valley Settlement House, and the local Y's. They also spread good will at various hos- pitals, recreational centers, and public buildings. Each year, the students spend more and more time in their work, an indication that the satisfaction they receive from helping less fortunate human beings inspires them to work more than the required fifteen hours. Statistics have shown that this year each student spent an average of fifty hours at seventy different agencies for an approximate total of 22,000 hours. This program has received nationwide attention. Both the New York Times and World Week have written articles dealing with the program. In May of 1958, the United States Information Service in Washington contacted the school in order to obtain a pictorial story concerning the service project for overseas publication. Lil Stausland, Betsy Morris, Mary Jenkins, and Nancy Haverlock pose with some of their charges at the Janet Memorial Home. 55 ■■ WOTAC Instituted in 1941 to provide suitable social gatherings on Saturday evenings, the West Orange Teen Age Canteen has increased rapidly in popularity until today an average dance draws about four hundred patrons. WOTAC, as it is referred to by West Orange students, sets the weekly social pattern for town teenagers. Since 1954, Mr. Robert McRoberts has served as advisor to the canteen, and a great part of WOTACs success can be attributed to him. The organization is directed through the joint efforts of two committees, one composed of adults, the other of students from WOHS. This year's student officers were: President, Bob Rothenberg; Vice-President, Terry Jones; Treasurer, Bob Mit- chell; and Secretary, Terry Sarossy. Also, immeasurable were the services offered by Wayne Sterling, John Dockery, Eddie Wilson, and Lillian Stausland. This year in addition to the regular weekly dances, WOTAC sponsored the Kick-Off Dance, the Queen's Ball, the Bill Brown Benefit, the Polio Benefit, and several other out- door dances. Included on the list of recording stars and bands presented this season were Jimmy Jones, the Shells, the Senti- mental, the V-Eights, the Velvetones, and the Monarchs. This has been a year which saw a further growth of WOTAC. This increased support by West Orange teenagers has been most gratifying to the canteen's directors.

The Christmas Con- cert, with its magnificent performance of Handel's Messiah, was especially impressive. In the fall of each year, the 24 most talented voices in our high school are organized into a special choir. This Top 24 represents the best of the vocal department in WOHS and appears along with the regular choir and chorus in the music con- certs. As an example of the vocal talent found in WOHS, several members of our music department journeyed to Washington, D.C., where they had been invited to sing in the All Eastern States Conference. The stu- dents, Loretta Kizer, Sheryl Corbin, Eleanor Landaas, Joanne Bruno, George Irwin, Leslie Alexander, Bob Welden, and Robert Jauch, brought back wonderful memories of an exhilarating experience. This year, several music students also represented WOHS in the All-State Choir at Atlantic City. WOHS has always enjoyed the reputation of hav- ing a superior musical department. The quality of vocal music produced this year has been in keeping with the high level of previous years. A successful Christmas concert ends with the combined choirs' rendition of the Halleluah Chorus. 58 Members of the Concert Choir include, FIRST ROW, (|.r): 'M. Jenkins, S. Rosenbaum, E. Getman, B.

MUSIC ball season the Marching Band became the regular Concert Band, which also performed in the spring concert. The Dance Band also under Mr. Sosfs direction, provided a change of pace in the type of music played. During their assembly the Dance Band gave renditions of old favorites, contemporary jazz, and dixieland jazz. In addition to this, the Dance Band was given the honor of playing at the Military Ball. Through these organizations many stu- dents have succeeded to coveted positions in the All-State and Junior Symphony Orchestra. Ken Graham, Steve Turkus, Richard Lubow, and Dan Tartaglia await their cues at rehearsal. enriching our culture Rhythm, melody, and symmetry describe the half-time festivities by the band and our twirlers. The final chords of the Dance Band's theme song mark the be- ginning of another Dance Band as- sembly. DANCERS AND MAJORETTES Half time football shows were enhanced by the dancing squad, an en- thusiastic group of girls desiring to display their school spirit. Aided by the excellent instruction of Miss Nancy Trainer and Miss Paula Catalano, the girls provided pleasing entertainment for the spectators during half times. The dancers spent many strenuous practice sessions perfecting their routines; however the enjoyable result was worth the effort. Under the direction of Mr. Jack Sost, the majorettes worked side by side with the twirlers and band at our football games. Theirs is the important task of leading the band and directing all the activities which take place during the football half time show. This year's talented majorettes were Gail Furgess, Elizabeth Graves, and Cheryl Corbin. Together the majorettes and the dancers have added to the enthusiasm of the football games. WOHS can certainly be proud of these hard working girls, for they truly represent the Cowboy spirit. Dancers include, LEFT ROW: Captain, B. Morris, D. Tomczyk, P. Edelhauser, V. Kern, E. Farbman, J.

Had they not been willing to work together as a team, their modest attempt to out- maneuver and out-fight their English opponents might have ended in catastrophe. Students in 1961, in much the same way, must have their minds and bodies in prime condition, not to revolt against authority, but rather to be aware of the sig- nificance of global problems so as to be prepared to protect democratic authority. At home and in school the student finds his greatest success in working with his team-mates in amicable competitions with teams from neighboring communities. Now, the out-maneuvering is done on the football field, not on the battlefield; there- fore, though there is a victor and a loser, they both live to compete again for the championship. Times and horizons vacillate and change, but basic principles of teamwork remain. The Revolutionaries, though actually separate groups of ''colonial states, chose, with little dissention, to unite in a union of states. War against a common tyrannical enemy had been the uniting factor. This union, with only one serious quar- rel one hundred years ago, has lasted these many years. Today, students exist under one school banner, united in school spirit. This is heightened in athletic contests. Whether victories or losses come, all students hope to always display spirit toward the school and possess life- time friendships gained through association with athletic teams and competition. EUGENE L. TIM1NS 66 ART CORDES HARRY deGIROLAMO Co-Captains Cordes and Spagnoli lead Cowboys on to field. FOOTBALL We are not proud of our record but we are proud of our team. With this statement first year coach John Hooper summed up the 1960 West Orange football team. Hampered by numerous injuries and by the return of only four starters from the 1959 squad, our boys completed an unsuccessful season with a final slate of no victories and nine defeats. Game after game the West Orange stands were packed with en- thusiastic rooters. The student support was truly remarkable considering that this was our third consecutive lean year in interscholastic football. Optimism for a successful season was prevalent as West Orange kicked off to Irvington to start the 1960 gridiron action. Soon however a gloom settled over the West Orange stands as the Campers stormed on to a victory. The following games brought more Cowboy disappointments, but there were several bright moments including the sharp passing of Artie Granito in the East Orange contest, the brilliant defensive play of Art Cordes and Greg Adams and the ironman work of Bill Spagnoli. 1961 fall practice will find the West Orange squad without the ser- vices of Co-captains Cordes and Spagnoli and the other graduating sen- iors. Despite these losses, next year's squad has adequate talent to pro- duce a successful season.

Coach Imgrund shows Jim Liccardo how it's done. BASKETBALL Cowboy cagers coached by John Imgrund compiled a 12-7 overall record including four two point losses to Valley, Scott, Montclair, and West Side. The high point of the season was the 69-39 mauling the Cowboys handed arch-rival Columbia. The slaughter was led by 6-4 Tom Cruthers and 6-3 Jim Liccardo, who scored 22 and 17 points respectively. In the middle of the season the West Orange cagers put together a seven game winning streak running through Bloomfield, Orange, Nutley, East Orange, East Side, Bloomfield, and East Orange again. This winning streak boosted the Cowboys into the Essex County Tournament. However in the Essex County Tournament the Cowboys unfortun- ately drew top-seeded Seton Hall as a first round opponent. The Pony Pirates, eventual state champions, defeated the Cowboys in a hard fought game, 54-40. Two reasons for the Cowboys success was their ability to control the backboards and their accurate shooting from long range. The big rebounders for the Cowboys were Tom Cruthers, Jim Liccardo, and Rick Johnson while Paul Jones, Ed Peterson, Wayne Love, and Jim Liccardo were outstanding outside shooters. The West Orange team was well represented on the All-Orange team as Captain Paul Jones and Jim Liccardo were selected. This June Coach Imgrund will lose through graduation Captain Paul Jones, Tom Cruthers, Rick Johnson, Wayne Love, Bob Rothenberg, Ed Peterson, Ed Wilson, and Jack McCarthy; however the return of Jim Liccardo, Gary Smith, Harold Bury, Tony Cocozza, Gordon Swanson, and Frank Spendlove plus a winning Junior Varsity team assures another fruitful season for the Cowboys.

Traveling to 7:00 A.M. practices twice a week sep- arated the fish from the boys early in the year. A .500 season and tenth place in the state meet constitutes a record that our swimmers can be proud of. This first year team under the capable coaching of John Prach surprised teams in the state with its power and depth. The loss of co-captains John Hoffman and Rich Weiderhorn and seniors Ken Gutbrod, Harvey Augarten, Mike Anderson, and Jeff Keil will cost the Cowboys some depth but the incoming freshmen have great po- tential. Sophomore Bob Duenkel led the Cowboys to most of their victories with his customary two first places. Sec- ond and third high scorers were sophomore Rick Sedg- ley and junior Cliff Blaze respectively. The performances of these underclassmen lead one to believe that there is a great future in store for this team.

HOCKEY Enthusiasm, aggressiveness, and desire, combined with the fine coaching of John Hooper, led our hockey team to a season record of six wins, four losses, and two ties and culminated in a tie for the North Jersey Scholastic Hockey League Championship with Montclair. This was accomplished in only our second year of varsity hockey competi- tion. The big game with the Mounties will long be remembered by those who attended for the excitement it created throughout the six periods of play, three regular periods and three sudden death overtime stanzas. A co-championship resulted, giving West Orange ownership of the Gordon Cup, symbolic of the championship, for the coming year. Enthusiasm added considerably to the molding of our champion- ship squad. Early morning practice sessions at South Mountain Arena showed every man eager to prove himself worthy of a starting position. The aggressiveness of the team is exhibited in the final league statistics. West Orange placed third in goals scored this season and was the second best group defensively. The desire of our squad can certainly be attested to by our fans who witnessed the close seasonal battles with Montclair and Morris Hills, who tied for first place in the final league standings. Able and Baker, the two main lines, were skillfully manipulated by Coach Hooper. Able consisted up front of Bill Clark, perhaps the most valuable player in the league, Mickey Friedberg, a strong asset for the past two seasons, and Tom Meravi, whose hustle more than compensated for his lack of skating finesse. On defense, Jeff Volker and Richie Schwab combined to form a stone wall. Baker was composed up front of Haakon Bryhn, a skillful skater from Norway, Lee Iden, a junior whose sterling play over the latter part of the season showed much promise of things to come, and either Jay Saun- ders or Lee Stettner, vastly improved players. Behind them were Jack Shiek, one of the top defenders in the league, and George Galante, a rugged de- fenseman. Veteran goalie Al Giordano did an outstanding job guarding the nets, especially in the play-off games with Morris Hills and Montclair. Back- ing up the main lines, Dave Harlow, Dave Sanford, and Ken Schroll also added to the Cowboy cause immeas- urably throughout the season. Our hockey squad certainly did West Orange High School proud this year. As Coach Hooper commented at the winter sports assembly, 'This team would not accept defeat, Morristown goalie successfully repels a Friedberg slap shot. 76 Bill Clark follows up as Friedberg fails to click.

Chuck Spina strokes ball in birdie attempt. On the links West Orange has put forth a team better than those of many past years. In the opening match the team easily beat Columbia, a school that hadn't been beaten by West Orange for many seasons. The squad was formed around three returning lettermen; Ken Graham, Chuck Spina, and Tom Meravi. Tom Marks, Al Flusser, and Al Duskin have shown their ability to win matches. Filling out the eight man squad were Eric Greenbaum and Ken Robbins. Together, the boys formed a winning combina- tion. 80 (l-r)s Mark Feldman, Sandy Churney, Steve Mittler, Tom Ehrenkrantz, John Davis, Lee Landesberg, Sid Bloom, Tom Alpren, Jay Saunders, Ray Kobler, Coach Merlin Finch. creating coordination . . . TENNIS A solid nucleus of returning lettermen provided a foun- dation upon which Coach Merlin Finch could rely and build. Taking advantage of our new courts behind the school, the boys worked diligently to improve their skill and better last year's record. The racketmen were long on experience this season and stalwarts Sid Bloom, John Davis, Steve Mittler, and Lee Landesberg provided the punch, which, backed up by Tom Ehrenkrantz and promising Tom Alpren and Jay Saunders, led to a successful season. John Davis cocks his arm for a speedy service. 81 Sid Bloom drives a backhand into enemy territory. Jim Liccardo selects a bat with plenty of base hits in it. BASEBALL Five returning lettermen have made the job of Coach Joe Hince a great deal easier as he led the Cowboys on to a successful season. Jim Liccardo, Ed Peterson, and Bill Hamilton made up an outstanding array of hurlers while Art Cordes handled the catching chores. Backing them up was a fine infield headed by shortstop Kerry O'Conner and second base- man Bill Spagnoli, with first and third base being held down by two outstanding sophomores, Dick Bauer and Ted Force. In the outfield Coach Hince had to platoon among Ed Wilson, Ed Peterson, Jim Liccardo, Bill Hamil- ton, and John Minelli in order to produce a winning combination. Prominent stickmen for the Cowboys were Kerry O'Conner, Ed Peter- son, Bill Spagnoli, Dick Bauer, Bill Hamilton, and Art Cordes. Victory was tasted in the opening Big Ten Conference game against arch-rival Columbia. The Cowboys combined good fielding and hitting with the fine pitching of Jim Liccardo to bury the Cougars 9-5. Coach John Pettit's JV team lost its first two games, but then they started to get some base hits and gained many victories. WEST ORANGE J.V.

Twirlers exhibit skills during half-time activities. Dedicating many after school hours to perfecting their various routines and to increasing interest in WOHS sports, the cheerleaders and twirlers are truly representative of Cowboy spirit and enthusiasm. The outstanding performance of our cheerleaders, who organized pep rallies and supported the football, basketball, and hockey teams, was a true credit to our school. Capably directed by Miss Nancy Trainer, the squad of ten girls and an alternate was led by Jackie Oufiero, its captain. During the half times throughout the football season, co-captains Barbara Bioren and Evelyn Shaw led the twelve twirlers and two alternates in graceful and intricate routines. Ably guided by Miss Catalano, the twirling squad has displayed agility and skill which will long be remembered. TWIRLERS FIRST ROW, (l-r): Barbara Moody, Judy Nelson, Joanne Gianetta, Gail Morsell.

VARSITY CLUB The bright red and white jackets of the Varsity Club are always very much in evidence at all sports events. This club, composed of varsity letter- men, was organized in 1958 by Mr. Joseph Hince to promote athletics and sportsmanship in West Orange High School. The requirements for membership in the Varsity Club call for more than just a varsity letter. Members must maintain good scholastic averages and keep training rules. A member who breaks training rules or allows his grades to fall below a C average forfeits his membership in the club. The varsity-faculty basketball game is sponsored annually by the Varsity Club. This hilarious exhibition is thoroughly enjoyed by the spectators and participants alike. Under the capable leadership of officers John Hoffman, Terry Jones, Bob Saiber and Bob Duenkel, the Varsity Club hopes to initiate this year several programs that will better sports in West Orange. One especially worthy proj- ect is the sponsorship of a baseball league for younger boys. Projects such as this make the Varsity Club a respected organization in our school. Miss Clark, Miss Trainer, Mrs. Psichos, Miss Withrow, and Miss Catalano cheer their team on to victory in the varsity-faculty basketball game. It's up'n in for Coach Imgrund in Varsity-Faculty game. school life” The expansion of the West was a significant factor in the history of the development of the United States. It represents the hardiness and perseverance of the early Americans. Not just the land area of the country, but the ideals of the pioneers were expanding. These people met staggering obstacles which necessitated their de- veloping their characters to overcome prevalent personal and physical obstacles. Underclassmen, as the early American pioneers, are confronted with new frontiers upon entrance into high school. They must condition themselves to new sur- roundings and new subjects as they learn to accept many new people. The reason for westward expansion contains many factors. One was the pioneer's desire to improve his living conditions. The student must constantly be seek- ing betterment and achievement in everything he at- tempts. To strive for a goal and to attempt to approach perfection gives meaning to existence. The high school years are a very meaningful portion of the individual's life. Forming ideals, developing per- sonality, and expanding knowledge occupy these years. As did the early Americans, the individual must develop in himself a facility with which to meet and experience new frontiers and new challenges.

The growth of the United States can be compared to our growth. The states as infants were concerned only with themselves. We as seniors have begun to look beyond ourselves to the rest of the world. Do we as people compare favor- ably? Inward reflection reveals that we do, though to compare favorably is not enough. Our education and its opportunities have been one of the major factors in this comparison. In addition to knowledge, which is one of the primary purposes of school, growth of the individual and his maturity, and the formation of a creative and inquiring mind were begun at school. One only says begun because the rest of our lives is devoted to these purposes. As Ameri- ca in past centuries began to recognize the importance of surrounding nations, so will our class begin to realize the importance of other peoples. Not only must we con- cern ourselves with the thousands of other American graduating classes but also with the graduates of other nations and their problems. The art work in this section represents the extent of our problems and development. The world has pro- gressed in numerous fields. With advanced communica- tions, travel, and science we have the world at our fingertips. Our fingertips may either destroy or create. However, what has been the purpose of our study and development if we have learned only to destroy? The preface has stated that our horizon is now virtually the universe. The future of this horizon is ours to behold. Let us remember for what our forefathers gave their lives and strive toward the goal of peace in whatever we do.

Without customers, no business or industry can exist. Without capital, no company has the wherewithal to begin, to survive, or to grow; ergo, stockholders are essential. Without employees, no company survives; ergo, a company must strive to be an attractive place in which to work. Without vendors, a company is uneconomic and fails. No company worthy of its name can supply all its own needs; ergo, vendors help to keep the wheels of industry turning. Without integrity, a company fails of public approval and respect; ergo, integrity is an essential of management and ownership. Without incentive, business and industry stultify; ergo, incentive and its handmaiden, competition, are necessities. Without government, anarchy reigns and chaos results; ergo, govern- ment responsive to reasonable regulation, but alert to the dangers of regi- mentation, is prerequisite to a sound economy. A good company, therefore, must serve all its masters. We do our best to achieve this goal. THOMAS A.
