VWST° '« 1N.JL07W 736397 Published by the students of West Orange High School West Orange, New Jersey n Preface With West Orange engaged in centennial celebrations there can hardly be a more fitting theme for the 1962 West-O-Ranger than the 100th anniver- sary of the founding of our town. Throughout West Orange's first century, there has been marked growth and change. This development of the town is paralleled in certain respects by the student's advancement during his high school training. Each distinct period in our town's history can be identified with a phase of daily school life. The artwork throughout each section of the book typifies the period the section is meant to be identified with; the clocks are of the era and each school building pictured was in use for secondary education at the time. Seniors have completed the developing processes that accompany the high school years but are also on the brink of new and unknown fields of endeavor as was the town at its incorporation during the mid 1800's. They must now set out to make a go of business, industry, or higher education. The underclassmen are in the midst of the educational process which will prepare them for future needs. Not greatly influencing the world about them now, they hold great promise of surpassing all records in time to come. So it was with West Orange in the late 19th century. Still in its formative years, the young town showed signs of outdoing all its neighbors. Vigorous and strenuous were the early years of the 20th century. It seems very fitting that athletics gained great popularity in these years. As the bustle of the turn of the century years helped the municipality to thrive, so does the physical activity of the high school sports program provide the needed stimulus for the growth of the student. Exercise promotes the development of his body; competition and self-discipline form his character and prepare him for the difficult tasks of later life. Offering programs as varied as present day life itself, the activities of West Orange High prepare students for the future by giving them new in- terests and by introducing them to fields with which they will have to be familiar as adults. Each of these four phases of school life will be looked back upon after graduation with pride and satisfaction, and so it should be that any citizen of West Orange can look back proudly at the town's history. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that the staff of the West-O-Ranger presents this edition commemorating the centennial of West Orange.

TAYLOR Superintendent Subsequent to a teaching job in Islip, Long Island, Mr. Taylor came to West Orange High School to teach chemistry and to coach the football team. Soon he was elevated to Vice-Principal of the high school, the Prin- cipal of Edison Junior High, and finally to his present position of Superintendent. Mr. Taylor was graduated from Wesleyan University and received his Master's degree from the Teachers' College of Columbia Uni- versity. Many of his recent plans for elementary school expansion, individualized programs for students, and general welfare of the participants in the education system, are under serious consideration. FRANK S. ALBRIGHT Director of Secondary Education In 1956, Dr. Albright left the Midwest to be- come the director of secondary school education in West Orange. He has capably fulfilled the difficult task of inter-class coordination and cur- riculum development and has had a prominent influence in the initiating of Honors Courses. Dr. Albright did his undergraduate work at Bradley University of Illinois, and his doctorate degree from the University of Chicago. 6 I ni-Jiiimiiii M. ALEXANDER GLASMIRE Principal Dr. Glasmire received his Bachelor of Science degree from Elizabethtown College and his Master of Science and Doctor of Education from the University of Pennsylvania. Before he be- came principal of West Orange High School in 1961, Dr. Glasmire was a founder and prin- cipal of the Williamstown, N. J. High School. Within a year he has created a closer-knit student body because of his attitudes toward education. Part of his philosophy is to en- courage competent teachers to investigate and to adopt new methods of teaching 7 Dr. Glasmire is a sincere warm-hearted person who has captured the attention and love of West Orange High. JOSEPH TYLUS Administrative Assistant Mr. Tylus, a teacher of Senior English in the high school until 1959, has been Director of Guidance and Teaching for the past three years. He obtained his B.S. at Trenton State College and his M.A. at Seton Hall University. He has always been interested in the undergraduate as an individual and as an integral part of the whole student body. Mr. Tylus has been considering a change in the Guid- ance Organization which will create a closer relationship between student and counsellor. HAYDN EVANS Administrative Assistant Mr. Evans was graduated from Grove City College and was presented with his master's degree from Montclair State Col- lege. Prior to his present position, Ad- ministrative Assistant, Mr. Evans taught classes in Business Administration. As Administrative Assistant, he is held re- sponsible for the social adjustment and attendance of students. Mr. Evans has devoted his services to aid and assist both student and faculty. 7 MEMORIAM JOSEPH MANCANELLO Before entering West Orange High, Joseph attended Hazel Avenue, Fairmont and Roose- velt Junior High Schools. To his many friends he was known as Joeythe laughing, curly- haired boy with the mischief in his eyes who was always so carefree and happy. Although he is not here in person, we will forever remember him as part of our school life and always be proud to say he was a member of the Class of 1962.

Athletics aids our growth by Progress was the theme for the West Orange Foot- ball Team this year. Tremendous effort and school spirit vaulted the Cowboys over a twenty-three game losing streak and increased their offense by nearly fifty points. In the season's opener, the Cowboys lost to a strong Irvington team 25-0. However in the Clifford Scott game, new hope was found when the Cowboys scored two touchdowns. Back on the slope of the mountain a week later, W. O. suffered a loss against one of the state's top Group III schools. Then with spirits high, W. O. outfought Kearny in a long battle, which ended with a 2-6 score after a W. O. touchdown was called back for a penalty Following the annual bonfire, the Cowboys met Orange in a game that was decided only in the last quarter when some long pass plays broke the game wide open for our opponents. Bloomfield and Mont- clair, rated tops in the state, then dimmed the hopes for a Cowboy victory during the '61 season. However, the West Orange squad, hungry for vic- tory, met and conquered the Freehold team 13-7. Twenty-three consecutive losses ended with a spectac- ular pass from quarterback Richie Cataldo to end Joe Hannon and the goal posts came down. The yearly Turkey Day Classic against Columbia ended high school football for seniors Bob Hanson, Terry Jones, Bob Saiber, Tom Marsico, Ken Schroll, Harold Bury, Rich Egidio, Fred Fagan, and Buddy latesta. Their desire to win and their perpetual drive will be emulated for years to come.

Co-cap- tains Lee Iden and Sandy Leslie, along with Vic Miller and Rich Cohen, kicked up the dust as they passed Coach Con- gilose, smiling at the boys' fine efforts. Although the harriers' record was not up to par, the large J. V. squad portends a great future. Two meets were extremely close: the first meet of the season was lost to Kearny by a score of 26-29, and it was only one point and six seconds which allowed victory to go to. East Orange. These two losses made the difference between a winning record and the actual record. In both the Essex County meet and the State meet the Cowboys galloped to the finish in a midway position. The most encouraging aspect of this year's season was the outstanding development of the sophomore runners, es- pecially Tom Schroll, Rich Vietch, Dick Buehler, Rich Coplan and Ken Jacobsen. Aided by the experienced seniors, they blossomed into a fine team. In a few years they should be among the state champions. CROSS COUNTRY w.o.

John Imgrund and his cagers went on to capture victory after victory for an overall 19-4 record, which proved the pre-season critics far from right. In regular season play. West Orange won 15 and lost only 2. The Cowboys also lassoed the Big Ten Crown, by compiling a 9-0 record in con- ference play. The season began with a hard-fought win over Valley. This was followed by two decisive victor- ies over Columbia and a 60-35 win over Irvington, who had defeated W. O. in a previous game. The final games of the season found West Orange beating the strong Bloomfield and Mont- clair teams for the Big Ten Title. By mid-season, the starting line had shown some of the best teamwork in the area. Guards Tony Cocozza and Gordon Swanson displayed great de- fensive moves and fine scoring ability. Forwards Steiner and Smith, already tough rebounders, de- veloped good shooting eyes. Hal Bury was also coming into his own as a defensive ace and re- bounder. Also coming into the picture was Marc 114 Jim Liccardo drops the ball in the basket to drop Millburn out of the State Tournament.

Figures speak for themselves when look- ing at Jim Liccardo's record. As center he averaged 25 points and 20 rebounds a game. His high school career ended with a total of 972 points. In tournaments this year, West Orange also had an impressive record. After being seeded third in the county tournament and beating Nutley and Central in the opening round, W. O. lost a heart- breaker, in the semi-finals, to Clifford Scott 48-44. The State Tournament seemed to follow the same Pattern. After two big wins over Millburn and Dover, the Cowboys came up against a very strong South Side team. The Cowboys controlled the first half of the game easily but in the second half South Side hit a hot streak, which led the Cowboys to their final defeat. Special credit should be given to all the boys who came to practice every day, and most of all to Coach John Imgrund for his excellent job. He started with one returning letterman and built a great ball club around him. Congratulations are in order for all the members of the club and Coach Imgrund for putting a team on the court that made us proud to be students of W.O.H.S.

Although he had only a nucleus of three re- turning lettermen, Coach Edward Liddle was able to form a quick, hard-hitting team which was far better than their mediocre sea- son record would lead one to believe. Co-captains Lee Iden and Jay Saunders paced a fast offensive which was known for its had, quick shooting. Senior defensemen Gary McCaroll, Lee Stettner, and Joe Keen- an helped make the job of goalie Ken Schroll easier with their alert hard checking. Other members of the team included juniors Andy Jonas, Lou Grasso, Jack Crane, and sophomores Tom Schroll and Roy Finney. Although the outlook for a repeat per- formance of last year's championship team looked dim from the very beginning of the season, the boys still took to the ice enthusi- astically. After losing their first few games, the Maroon and White pucksters came up winning their best game of the year defeat- ing Livingston Lancers 1-0. Although the Cowboys did not have a winning season, the squad did boast an ar- ray of outstanding individual performers. Among these players were Lee Iden, Jay Saunders, and Ken Schroll, who were nom- inated for the state All-Star team. Forwards Lee Iden and Jay Saunders face-off against Montclair icemen.

This event highlighted the West Orange swimming season as the Cowboys defeated Weequahic High School, and in the proc- ess shattered a record of 77 consecutive dual meet victories for the Indians. Under the leadership of Coach John Prach the Cowboy mermen proved to be one of the most powerful teams in the northern New Jersey area, beating such acknowledged swimming powers as Morristown, Plainfield, and Irvington. The team compiled an impressive 11-3 win-loss record. Excellence was further demonstrated by our competition in the New Jersey State meet, where West Orange finished fourth among all the Group I, II, III schools in the state. Future prospects for the Cowboy team are indeed bright. With the re- turn of such experienced lettermen as Bob Duenkel, Scott Blaze, Paul Kern, Rick Sedgley, and John Unger, Coach Prach looks forward to another high- ly successful campaign.

With a nucleus of only two returning lettermen, sprinter Marty Elkinson and discus thrower Jon Ain, a better than average track team was formulated. This year the Cowboy team has achieved some of the depth necessary to win meets. In the sprints seniors Mike Budd and Marty Elkinson have been ably assisted by junior Paul Kern. Senior hurdlers Bill Mor and Tom Ehrenkranz gave us strength in a usually weak event. Pole vaulters Lee Iden and Ken Schroll captured their share of first places this year. A large turnout of sophomores and juniors has aided the team considerably. In particular Rich Cohen, Ken Jacobsen, and Rich Veitch have per- formed notably in the distance events. These boys, with Scott Blaze assisting in the weight chores, will provide the nucleus for a fine squad next year. 120 Scoff Blaze gives the javelin a mighty hurl.

Many observers feel that the Cowboy golfers should have had a difficult time repeating last year's perfect 6-0 record which brought West Orange our first Big Ten Championship; however, under Coach Atwell Thomas, the cowboys have produced another excellent team. Outstanding players this year were senior Tom Marks, and juniors Ned Steiner and Allen Flusser, all shooting in the 70's. With the return of two of this threesome and other ex- perienced players, Coach Thomas looks forward to still an- other successful season. Another good drive by Allen Flusser.

In only its second year with courts on the high school campus, the team has found much more time to practice, and this fact has cer- tainly shown through in the per- formances of Sam Cherny, Marc Mezibov, Ray Kobler and Rich Seel- ig, in addition to Saunders. With only two boys leaving the squad this years, future prospects for another successful tennis season seem quite good.

Jim's 12 strikeout performance and some clutch hitting by Nick Struble and Bob Becker notched this all-important first victory for West Orange. Under first year coach Philip Congilose, the Cowboys amassed a well balanced ball team. Standouts on the mound this year were Jim Liccardo and junior Don Schwartz, while Rich Moore and Ted Force provided some excellent defensive work at center field and second base, respectively.

CHEERLEADERS School spirit was boosted this year by the cheerleaders, led by Captain Joan Leeper, and Co-captain Lucille Maraviglio. Cheering at pep rallies and football and basketball games comprised their basic duty. However, these girls have also given their sup- port to our other teams, and should be praised for their spending many long hours practicing new cheers and in- structing future cheerleaders. arousing school spirit Judy Silverman prepares to introduce the squad.

Activities promote Character and Education Outstanding scholarship, fine character, strong leadership, and willingness to serve are attributes needed by a member of the Na- tional Honor Society. The thirty members, who represented ten per- cent of the senior class, were chosen by teacher evaluation based on the above qualities. Last fall, the majority of the present member- ship were inducted in an assembly before the student body. The previous spring, ten juniors had been initiated; they were to serve as the foundation for this year's society. From these ten students the following officers were elected: president, Paul Bernstein; vice-presi- dent, William Albright; treasurer, Nelson Melillo; and secretary, Lois McConnaughey. These are advised by Mr. Bauerle who has super- vised the society for the first time this year. The West Orange Chapter of the Clio-Philo National Honor So- ciety also functioned as organizer of the Thanksgiving Day Motor- cade to Columbia High School, poster of the honor roll, director of the school's free tutoring service, and sponsor of a scholarship for a WOHS student. These varied activities of the Honor Society made it not only a group of honor students, but rather a unique organiza- tion whose aim is service to the school. Students put the finishing touches on their cars before the Motorcade leaves for the Thonksgiving Game. Pop, Mom, and Junior were clothed as points mounted during the Student Council clothing drive. Imbue us with a sense of Democracy WOHS students dance in the school cafeteria at Co-Ed night. Outstanding student government has long been a tradition at West Orange High School. The Student Council, which supervises all important activities, has always commanded the respect of the fac- ulty and the student body. The organization, under the supervision of Mr. Krimmel and Miss Kunz, is composed of one representative from each homeroom and an executive council. Election of officers took place last spring. This year's officers were President Robert Saiber, Vice-President Robert Penza, Treasurer Michael Colabeli, Recording Secretary Leah Doyle, and Corresponding Secretary Janet Walton. Many varied activities were undertaken by the Student Council. The group supervised class elections, regulated the use of the parking lot, and organized many social functions. The Big Switch and co-ed nights were recreational highlights of the year. The proceeds from each co-ed night were donated to charities chosen by the Council. The student government also organized projects that aided certain welfare agencies. Many students volunteered to entertain the children at the Janet Memorial Home. This year there was a tre- mendous response to the clothing drive sponsored by the Council. Extremely successful was the Student Council Leadership Train- ing Conference at Camp Minisink. Students who actively partici- pated in school activities were chosen to attend. These delegates had the opportunity to discuss the principles of good leadership and the philosophy of group organization. The conference, which convened for the first time last year, was designed to promote and develop the qualities that are found in the competent, efficient young people, who become the leaders of our school. 136 FIRST ROW, left to right: R.

Bica Kuhn checks on advertising during a dummy session. Renowned in New Jersey high school press circles for its high standard of reporting, the Roundup has once again earned its reputation. The Cowboys who rounded-up the news this year were led by Sharon Redmond, editor-in-chief; and Bill Mor, busi- ness manager; and were under the able direction of their corral master, Mr. Richard Evers. Nine news packed issues, relating incidents and personali- ties of West Orange High School, were distributed throughout the year. The articles contained within each issue were both informa- tive and captivating, allowing each student a closer contact with his school life. Money for the Roundup came from advertisements, the Curtis Magazine Subscription Campaign, and various allotments. Be- sides these contributions, the Roundup provides for itself by selling refreshments after school and at athletic events. 138 Kathy Farley and Carol Caden work at the refreshment stand at the football games to earn money to support the paper.

Perhaps the most difficult and responsible job in the school is that which falls upon the shoulders of those students who produce the WOHS yearbook. This size- able publication, varying from 150-200 pages, is writ- ten entirely by the high school students. Its pages in- clude all facets of school life: the faculty, students, athletics, and extra-curricular activities. Editor-in-chief of this year's edition, Terry Jones, and his chief assistants Karen Lando, Managing Editor; Paul Bernstein and Bill Albright, Feature Editors; spent many long hours in the West-O-Ranger office writing and rewriting copy; arranging and rearranging photo- graphs. These numerous photographs were supple- mented by the excellent art work seen throughout the book. Credit for this should be given to Judy Bogdan, Art Editor, who worked under the direction of Mr. Robert De Maine. Coordinator of the annual book is Mr. Robert Fen- nell, who engineered the virtual construction of each section. Although the production of the book was executed by the students, in order to insure a product of quality they often looked toward Mr. Fennell for advice- Many thanks are to be given to Miss Marguerite Heeseman who was responsible for the advertisements and patron donations, without which the yearbook would not be possible. The entire senior class also deserves praise for its cooperation in collecting the needed funds.

A cauldron is a large kettle in which are placed many ingredients. Perhaps the most noted caul- dron in history is that made famous by Shakes- peare in the witches' scene of Macbeth. In WOHS there too is a Cauldron, this one being the name of the school's literary and art magazine. This publication, produced annually by Mrs. Casey and her able staff, serves as a duel outlet for those students who are fortunate to have a flare for writing or drawing. The students manu- scripts are placed humbly and hopefully into the hands of the literary staff, who have the privi- lege of evaluating the work. The poems, stories, essays, and miscellaneous articles which comprise the magazine are read on an anonymous basis to the group by Editor, Marc Feldman. One of the highlights of last year's magazine was Japanese Haiku, or seven syllable poetry. This year the Cauldron again achieved the pres- entation of another high quality magazine. Develop creativity Gail White and Joel Davis volunteer opinions on manuscripts submitted to the Cauldron staff. M2 Nelson Melillo, French Club president, prepares to swear in new initiates. Help us apply our knowledge of another culture To promote a better understanding of the French peo- ple, Le Cercle Francois'7 planned a program that high- lighted the traditions of France. Under the direction of Mr. Loew, the group discussed the dress, music, and food of the Mediterranean country. Perhaps the most enjoy- able activity of the club was the annual trip to New York, where the members dined on continental cuisine and saw a French drama. Gaining a greater insight into the Spanish way of life, the members of the Spanish Club undertook many in- teresting and worthwhile projects. With the help of its sponsors, Mr. Gino Parisi and Miss Margaret Eaton, the group adopted a young Spanish refugee. A lecture given by a guest speaker and a trip to a Spanish nightclub were highlights of the club's program. Hail, Caesar! With great pomp, the members of the Senate filled the meeting hall of the ancient Roman forum. Leading this berobed procession of Latin scholars was their worthy leader Miss Loughren, aided by Albert Tur- kus; William Ochs, keeper of the treasure; and three scribes, Ann Zetland, Pamela Goldstein, and Esther Lun- deen, who were carrying the huge stone tablets and papyrus used in recording the data. The topics discussed were the cultural background of the Roman people, the preservation of the Latin language, and Roman recrea- tion. Another representative of West Orange High School's excellent language program is the German Club. This year the club was under the auspices of Mr. Charles Seibel. With the help of the club officers: President, Marc Feldman; Vice-President, Sally Schuh; and Treasurer, Arlene Slogoff, bigger and better things were accom- plished. German films were shown to club members and a taste of German life was experienced when the club feasted at a restaurant in Yorkville, New York, and ex- plored the German sections of New York City. Spanish Club officers. Sue Sfashin, vice-president; Janice Siegle, treasurer; Jane Jacobs, recording secretary; Ellen Ringel, corresponding secretary; and Marty Elkinson, president help tie cultural bonds with our South American neighbors.

The Business Careers Club prepares for 45 minutes of work during activity period. As associate members of the Essex County Medical Society, the members of the Future Physicians Club had excellent experience in a medical environment. Among their many trips, several of which were supervised by Dr. Stanley S. Fieber, the medical advisor, were visits to hospitals, a medical school, a drug company, and the State Medical Convention. The club participated in the State Health Fair and a parent-student confer- ence. Requirements for membership are attending a first aid course and donating service to a hospito). Mr. Edward Liddle of the faculty assisted the future physicians with several experiments and lab tech- niques. Movies, speakers, and discussions rounded out the program of this most worthwhile club. Every doctor needs a nurse — and WOHS has its Future Nurses Club to insure able assistants for the graduates of its Future Physicians Club. The Future Nurses Club helps its members to understand the vari- ous branches of the medical profession and keeps them informed of the many available opportunities for nurs- ing training and job positions. Representatives from many schools were brought to WOHS to address the club members about the special advantages and op- portunities afforded by their respective schools. In ad- dition, several of the girls spent many days at the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing observing the training and performance of nurses. Betty Soemer directed the club's activities throughout the year with the very able aid of Miss Lumley, the high school nurse, and Miss Quinn. An education just as good or better than the one they are receiving is the desire of students who belong to the Future Teachers of America. In this club they can take advantage of a program that will expose them to the realities of the teaching profession. In this way the members can decide if teaching is the best career for them. For those students who wish to make a careful study of possible careers in the business world. Miss Gerhart, personal typing and briefhand teacher, organized the Business Careers Club. The thirteen members took several trips during the year to business schools and corporation headquarters, examining the opportunities and advantages of careers in the business world.

Mr. Robert McRoberts and Mr. Clifton Carlson have kept the clubs in hand while such controversial subjects as the Congo, the John Birch Society, and para-military wars were being discussed. Giving West Orange High School further insight into international relations, was Brigitta Kuhn, or Bica, our American Field Service student from Switzerland. After this year, she will return to her home where she will share with her friends and family what she has learned about the United States. 146 Lee Iden tries his hand at charades at a party during the International Weekend. Students whose interests in physics went beyond the material presented in the classroom were afforded the opportunity to quench their thirst for knowledge in the Physics Club. The members, with the assistance of Donald Struyk, the faculty advisor, delved into modern theories and complicated problems. The great emphasis on scientific technology in modern society has given this club increased im- portance. Another opportunity for expanding knowledge in the fields of science was provided by the Science Seminar. Concentrating on one or two areas of study, the members devoted most of their time to or- ganic chemistry. Mr. Leslie Bauerle, the faculty advisor, instructed the group in its first year of activity in the school. Girls, here is a wonderful opportunity to gain confidence be- hind the steering wheel and respect from those big wheel men. The Auto Mechanics Club, newly organized this year for only those of the female gender, was directed by Mr. Beisler who perhaps deserved the medal for courageous action. Through his understanding, pa- tience, and humor, these girls have had enlightening experiences pertaining to the mechanics of a car. The club members learned what to do should they come in contact with any car trouble. The girls have no use for a coy smile or a lifted petticoat when they are in distress, instead they can pull out the jack and get right to work changing a tire.

Teach us about Staging and Lighting effects Members of the Visual Aids Crew, Jim Bocock, Allen Cassini, Vincent Yanuzxi, and Mike Budd help the school by fixing the tape recorder for language lab. Practical experience has certainly served as the method of instruction for those members of the Photography Club. In the inky depths of the developing room, newly named the Peppermint Dark Room ' a group of boys learned the fundamentals of photography from their able director Mr. Thomas MacEwen. A section of the regular Tuesday Club worked overtime as Photographers for the school publications. The high quality photographs seen in the Round-up and in the West-O-Ranger were products of these boys' capabilities and talents. Working behind the scenes helping to keep the technical equipment of the school in tip top shape was the Visual Aids Club under the direction of Mr. John Brown, the projectors, tape recorders, and record players were maintained and repaired for the school's use. Through our club program, the veterans of this club reviewed their skills and knowledge with the sophomore members so that the work will be carried on with efficiency in coming years. Under Mr. De Maine's able direction, the Stage Crew performed all the gen- uine and vitally necessary behind the scenes work for assmbly programs, school concerts, and student dances. The thirteen boys learned a great deal about light- ing, scenery arrangements, and recording skills and techniques, aside from per- forming a valuable service to the school. 148 The stage crew uses club period to cut gelatins for spotlight. Members of the library council listen as Supervisor Mrs. Meyers, tell them of their duties. Provide services for the school Twenty-three busy girls comprise Miss Hanlon's Student Secretary Club. The clicking of their type- writers can be heard as they type needed manu- scripts and business correspondence of the school. Their clerical skills allow them to aid both teachers and the office when they become burdened with extra work. Many an S.O.S. has been answered by this group. These girls will make some boss very happy one dayl Responsible for doing much of the work that goes into maintaining a good school library are the young librarians of the Library Council. The club members industriously mended, catalogued, and cared for the schools books. They aided Mrs. Mauro and Mrs. Meyer in keeping the library in a condition that all can be proud of. The club's aim has been to bring people and books closer together, to create a more thorough understanding of library science, and to run the library in an efficient manner. Student Secretaries, Sharon McHugh and Paula Gizzo, aid teachers by operating the mimeo- grapher. 149 Promotion of school spirit was the motto of Cowboys Consolidated. Through the guidance of Noel Leisentritt, president, and Mr. John Pettit, faculty advisor, Cow-Con strove for this goal. During the football season, the evidence of this pep organization's influence was most prominent. With the help of those WOHS stu- dents who had a surplus of spirit and energy, Cow-Con directed pep rallies, the annual bon- fire, poster displays within the school, and weekly parties to make these posters and individual booster tags. Much deserved credit must be given to all those who participated in Cow-Con's activities. This organization promotes spirit among the team members as well as the spectators. Through the heightened spirit, the teams were able to achieve an ever increasing number of victories.

Volunteer our Services to the Community Every senior is required to give fifteen hours of service to the commu- nity. The Community Service Program which is part of the Senior History Department is most commonly known among students as 'senior hours. Most students contributed their time to organizations such as Kessler Institute, Janet Memorial, Valley Settlement House, local hospitals, and Y's. This year many students participated in the gubernatorial election by supporting one of the political parties. Few students give only fifteen hours. Each year the trend seems to be that more and more hours are devoted to these projects by WOHS pupils; the average is 50 hours per student. The program has been such a success and is considered so worthwhile that it has received nation wide attention. After articles appeared in both the New York Times and World Week, the United States Information Service in Washington published a pictorial story on the system for publication abroad. 151 Jim Thatcher acts as a cashier at the Community House for his Senior Hours.

Slopping out the old year and twisting in the new, the students at West Orange High have held their own in social dancing prowess. These Chubby Checkers have found a release in the dancing innova- tions of the 1961-1962 year. The newer dance techniques were experi- mented with and practiced before the eyes of the club's sponsors, Mr. Hooper, Mrs. Psichos, Miss Clarke and Mr. Prach, who regarded the intricate steps of the dancers with amazement. After several years as a popular club, Girls' Sports, has returned to the mountain slope. In November, tryouts were held; the girls selected by Miss Trainer and Mrs. Joffe assembled every club period in the gym to practice with and compete against each other. The purpose of the club is to give those girls interested a better knowledge of the advanced skills of tumbling, baseball, basketball, and volleyball. During the year, the club organized and supervised the Teacher-Student Volleyball game between the women teachers and the champion volleyball team of the girls' gym classes. The club also acted as hostess to several visiting teams. West Orange High has its own tribe of Goren sponsored by Mr. Siegle and Mr. Carswell. This year the pack was divided into two sec- tions, intermediate and advanced, each geared to different experience levels. These dedicated fans of bridge convened each week to improve their skill and dexterity with cards. Thirty boys and two girls, the members of the Chess Club, enjoyed a very successful season under the supervision of their faculty advisor, Mr. Paul Rothstein. The members labored weekly over chess boards; and their efforts produced many long, hard fought battles. Senior Victor Miller, second only to Mr. Rothstein, ranked as one of the club's top per- formers. Techniques of football were taught this year to those boys seeking more than a fundamental knowledge of the sport. Mr. Frank Maze and Mr. Keith Doyle, administrators of the Football Club, used the off-season months to instruct the boys. Diagrams and movies of previous games were employed as visual aids, from which the boys could pick up many pointers. The coaches hope that the club will create increased interest in football, and encourage a larger turnout for future teams. Charlie Brady checks Kevin Oliver's queen. 153 Spring training for baseball was begun this year when the snow was still on the ground. Fine points of baseball were taught by Mr. Philip Congilose to all those aspiring Mickey Mantles of the Baseball Club. These skills can be put into use once practice be- gins in earnest. Demanding more practice sessions, the varsity basketball team satisfied its needs by forming the Basketball Club. Grateful for the extra time, Mr. Imgrund spent the forty- five minutes a week in reviewing game strat- egy and improving playing skills. Other boys interested in basketball, but not on the team, were welcomed to join the club, pos- sibly to become next year's stars.

Members of the Basketball Club strain to see the diagram of the play that Tony Cocozza is explaining. 154 Many fine and decorative pieces of jewelry were styled by members of the Jewelry Club, one of the school's outstanding craft clubs. Under the supervision of Mr. George Bizlewicz, the boys worked with semi-precious stones and bits of metal to create stylized bracelets, pins, earrings, and rings. These articles were often on display in the showcase on the second floor. Attention all Mavericks, polish up your six guns! The Leather- craft Club, under the direction of Mr. Donald Bush, is now producing leather holsters. For those of us whose fightin' spirit just ain't what it used to be, we may choose among other fine articles such as golf gloves, belts and briefcases which were made during the year. The conscientious members of the club learned skills which made them expert in the engraving, designing, and caring of leather goods. Various techniques of fashion sketching were taught in the Fashion Design Club this year. Miss Martin, the group's advisor, dis- cussed many aspects of the fashion industry. At each meeting a club member would strike various poses as the rest of the group pro- duced sketches. Although most of the girls enjoy sketching as a hobby, there are some who will employ their artistic talents in the advertising and fashion designing fields.

Resolved: The Debate Club of West Orange High School again succeeded in setting forth the pro's and con's of some of the vital questions of the day. In order to be an active member of both the national and local community, one must be able to express his ideas clearly and intelligently. This club gave its members in- struction and practice in developing this skill by conducting discussions, debates, and speeches. Some of the main attractions this year were the club's forensic activities at Temple University, the Pennsylvania Debate Clinic and Dwight Mor- row High School. Victor Miller presided over the club and Miss Loughren advised the members throughout the year. Upon arriving at school early any day this year, you may have beeh sur- prised to see some lights aglow. The light came from the Reading Improvement Club, sponsored by Mr. Loew and Miss Goodyear. This club was organized in order to help interested students become better readers. The course was devel- oped by Scientific Research Associates of Chicago. The participants have been amazed at their rapid progress and were so appreciative that they didn't mind at all, that the club met at 7:45 a.m.l Ask a silly question and you'll get a satisfying response. Ask about clothes, food, customs, or anything that's on your mind, the new Here's How Club, will answer you. The club, started and supervised by Mrs. Dennington, was begun to help answer the questions of Junior and Senior girls. By means of lectures, movies, field trips, and speakers, the club endeavers to provide satisfactory replies to inquiries posed by the members. The Reading Improvement Club concentrates as Miss Goodyear marks the time.

Donald Paterson introduces the Navy Band Provide substance for programs Lending variety to the school week, the assembly programs at West Orange High School provided exciting and interesting entertainment for the student body. The advisor of these enjoyable programs was Mrs. Violette Cotter. She aroused the students' interest in presentations of many different types. Among the many assemblies which were presented, singing along with Dr. Glasmire to Row, Row, Row Your Boat was one of the most enjoyable and enthusiastic. Other programs which rated high on the list were Safe Driving, presented by Sergeant Pike, the awards assemblies, the Honor Society induction ceremony, and the A.F.S. assembly.

Help us let off steam Twenty seasons, and the West Orange Teen Age Canteen is still going strongl WOTAC, as it is commonly referred to by weekly attendees, has given many enjoyable hours of recreation to the town's teen-agers. The dances were held on Saturday evenings from 8:15 to 11:00 at Washington Street School. The purpose of holding such dances was to provide wholesome recreation for the thirteen to eighteen year old residents of West Orange. It is felt that this year's well planned chaperoning and recreation has definitely given proper en- tertainment to its supporters. Under the direction of two committees, one composed of adults, and the other of WOHS students, WOTAC has been well supervised. The members of the WOHS committee were: President, Terry Jones; Vice-President, Ginger Blair; Secretary, Jill Diener; and Treasurer, Cliff Blaze. In addition to the above officers, credit must be given to Bob Petizon and Babs Fileti, who devoted invaluable service to WOTAC. The head of the WOHS department was Mr. Robert Mc- Roberts. He has given many hours of assistance in planning and attending each dance. Besides the regular Saturday evening canteens, WOTAC spon- sored the Kick-Off Dance, Football Queen's Ball, International Week- end Dance, Bill Brown Benefit, and the Block Party. There was an average attendance of about 400 at each dance. This wonderful support has brought much satisfaction to those who gave their time to WOTAC. A typical Saturday night at WOTAC.

Expand Musical Horizons West Orange High School has good reason to be proud of its vocal music department. For almost twenty years it has been presenting two popular concerts each year, one given at Christmas, the other in the spring. The department consisted of four singing groups, each different in their ability. For those students who just wished to enjoy the pleasures of singing in a choral group, there was the General Chorus. Anyone could join this group. Mem- bership in the two Choirs, however, was determined by competitive auditions. Students who had enough musical and singing ability to pass these auditions were further divided into two groups, the advanced Concert Choir and the Auditorium Choir, each consisting of from 50 to 60 members. Finally, twenty-four students of GENERAL CHORUS. FIRST ROW, left to right: J. McManus, F. Falcone, J. Margolis, J. Blume, V. Fallon, R. Becker, R. LeMoine, J. Anagnostis, G. Fon- Io, C. Condelmo, H.

All these activities were instructed and directed by Mr. Earle Barnes and Mr. Dale Smyth, the vocal music teachers. In addition, the high school entered students for audition in the annual New Jersey All-State Chorus and the Metropolitan Opera High School Festival. In both these activities, West Orange High School led with one of the largest members participating from any one school. Choral music played an important part in the curriculum of the school, providing an enriching and wholesome experience for any student willing to take advantage of the opportunity. AUDITORIUM CHOIR.

Halls of West Orange High School have been perennially filled with the vibrant tones of our instrumental music groups. Each new school year has been heralded by the martial tones of our marching band rally- ing our Cowboy Spirit during the football season. After Thanksgiving it reorganized to form the excellent concert band, under the direction of Mr. John Sost. The orchestra is familiar to all through its playing in weekly assem- blies. Many long hours of practice were necessary before its director, Mr. Arthur Montzka could mold the orchestra into the organization of which we can all be proud. The orchestra joined with the band to present the annual Spring Concert in May. The Dance Band, which practiced each Tuesday club period under the direction of Mr. John Sost, is a polished group which entertained at various functions throughout the year. DANCE BAND.

PA.7-01II 178 BIRTHPIACI OF ORGANIZED RESEARCH Seventy-five years ago, when our town was just 25 years young, Thomas A. Edison constructed in West Orange the world’s first laboratory dedicated to organized research. It was the forerunner of the nation’s great industrial laboratories of today. Edison’s origi- nal West Orange laboratory and his home now constitute the Edison National Monument museum, which annually attracts thousands of visitors, both young and old. As Edison’s corporate heir, the Thomas A. Edison Industries, a unit of the McGraw-Edison Company, is proud of its continuing role as a leader in research and invention. We salute the young men and women of West Orange High School as leaders of the years ahead. THOMAS A. EDISON INDUSTRIES McGraw-Edison Company COMPLIMENTS OF A PTEACO. M.
