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
