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.
