■tewm FOREWORD The State of New Jersey depends upon the turning of the wheels of industry for the very existence of her people. In choosing The Industries of New Jersey for the art motif of The Weather Vane, We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Three, express our faith that the power derived from the proper development of the industries of a great state will bring her safely to the heights in a new era. The WEATHER VANE WESTFIELD HIGH SCHOOL WESTFIELD, NEW JERSEY 1933 DEDICATION We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Three dedicate this twelfth issue of The Weather Vane Annual to Miss J. Isabelle Dodds, in grateful appreciation of her whole-hearted cooperation and true sportsmanship as our class adviser and friend.

The ore was found in great quantities in the mountains of Northern New Jersey and was one of 123 kinds of minerals found in the rock deposits of Sussex County. The principal mines, however, were in the Highlands. Excavation was begun in 1710. Among the eighty-nine mines to produce magnetic ore were the Andova, Ogden, and Oxford. These mines were in Morris and Sussex counties, the industrial mining center in America. New Jersey's greatest output of iron ore was in 1882—a total of 932,765 tons. In 1879, sixteen blast furnaces were operated and nearly all the ore used was a product of the state. Today most of the mines are deserted because deposits in New Jersey are far below the surface of the earth and it is not worth while to compete with Pennsylvania and regions like Lake Superior. It is far more profitable to import the raw material and manufacture a finished product. New Jersey ranks high in her production of steel. A great variety of products is produced by such plants as those of the Wharton Iron and Steel Company, the Anthenia Steel Company, the American Steel and Wire Company, and the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The first of these companies dates from Colonial days when because of imbedded iron ore, good water power, and timber-covered hills, High Bridge was chosen as a favorable location. Horse shoes, wagon iron, nails, and crude farm tools were the early products. Then the advent of the Iron Horse created a demand for railroad materials. Incidentally, ever since Revolutionary days the Wharton Company has contributed its share of war paraphernalia, progressing from cannon balls to modem projectiles. The other companies produce everything from delicate watch parts to factory equipment. The old mining camps have been made into happy play grounds for Bov Scouts, or else, silent and deserted, they are haunted by the ghosts of departed workers; but the steel factories are busy night and day, steadily increasing their output.

Another glass goblet completed. The art of glassmaking as practised in ancient Egypt was elemental, for the sons of the Nile had not yet learned the secrets of transparency. Slowly, slowly, glass culture developed, and the fifteenth century rich gazed from glass windows, a luxury which only they could enjoy, and which, in the absence of the family, had to be removed and as carefully stored away as family jewels. Today the United States makes more glass ware than any other nation, for no other country’s purse strings loosen so readily at the sight of exquisite table ware. New Jersey's glass industry centers in Cumberland county where thirty-six establishments are located. “Plumes of smoke from Millville tell that we are in the sand, silicon, and fine quartz region which make that town. Glassboro, Bridge-ville, Salem, and Vineland prosperous as glass blowing cities. The earlier hand-blown ware of New Jersey establishments has given way to modern machine methods. Formerly, a worker blew through the wooden mouthpiece into a metal pipe just dipped into the molten glass. When his bubble was a suitable size, he shaped it with a mould on the outside, and on the inside, with air pressure from his lungs. Today the sand is taken from freight cars, mixed, passed into the furnace, melted and fired bv extreme heat; then the glass is carried from the furnace to machines where compressed air, in place of the human blower, both operates the machines and shapes the glass. At length it is placed in a hot place to cool gradually and prevent brittleness, a process called annealing, and finally it is revolved and inspected without the touch of a human hand.

Although Don is most proficient in the art of sleeping. especially in Mrs. Cook s presence, he still lakes time out to compose a song or tune. Parlies would be quite dull without his singing and playing. Don starred in the production of The Fool, for he has all kinds of ability. A.

JR.itE College Preparatory pnrigficld Class Treasurer (4); Slide Rule Club (4); Debate Club (4); Executive Committee (4); Finance Committee (3. 4); Holiday Plays (3. 4); Track (4). Carl, the financial genius of our class, belied his quiet nature last year by the acquisition of a “sky b'ue. pink Lizzie. However, having become our treasurer, he traded it for a den-ure, green coune. and now travels to school in a dignity befitting h.s exalted station.

Temperance and the ideal girl are this boy's favorite theme topics according to members of the heterogeneous crew in Period 3. Jim gave a distinguished performance in The Fool. He's an excellent marksman when the weapon is an eraser. RAGNA ANDERSEN College Preparatory 657 Fairmont Avenue Art Club (4); Basketball (2); Tennis (3); Senior Play Committee (4). . JO. t. Look at the goddess Norway sent us! In class she seems very quiet and bashful; in social life, loving parlies and dancing, she is quite a belle. Have you ever seen her marvelous poise forsake her? LURA ANDERSON College Preparatory Springfield Spanish Club (3. 4); Chemistry Club (4); Hockey (3); J unior Prom Committee (3); Senior Play Committee (4). Two dimples, a smile, and an odd little twist of speech make Lura fascinating to some one we know. Perhaps that is why she sits in the second aisle in 101 during English period. This reserved and s'ud-ious lass was a dashing Spanish senorila on Senior Day. H RICHARD S. AREND College Preparatory 453 Birch Place Latin Club (4); IVeathcr Fane (3. 4). Our young friend who was so quiet as a Sophomore and Junior has developed into a flaming orator in his monthly encounters with Mr. Donk. His ready wit has made him invaluable to our IV cat her Fane staff. We know no one will make him a supernumerary. Eventually, he may condescend to he the heroine of the Columbia Varsity Show.

Betty of the beautiful locks is a very efficient athlete. vocalist, committee worker, and cook. She is a cheerful soul surrounded by lively friends. So numerous are her beaux that we are kept busy guessing the latest. , j ROBERT L. BAIRD 1018 South Avenue Band (3. 4); Red Cross Council (4); Senior Play Cast (4); Christmas Play (4). When Bob is not strutting across the football field in his great shako, twirling his enormous baton, you will find him behind all kinds of kettles and drums —a virtuous “Tympano.” His occasional English oa’hs (mild ones, of course) and broad a’s remind us of his excellent interpretation of a certain role.

Aside from an amazing versatility, the Baron stars at football, basketball, and throwing the shot. West-field is proud of Captain Dick Barker, a fine athlete and a true friend. MILTON C. BARNARD College Preparatory 402 Prospect Street Civic Committee (2); Finance Committee (4); Football (2). Mill” should have lived in the days of chivalry, so thoroughly does he enjoy the presence of ladies. School work, for him. is a pastime to wile away the weary hours between social events. Dry subjects cause him to refresh himself at the fountain, sometimes without permission. This debonair youth certainly satisfies his craving for a good lime.

BARTLEMAN Commercial 551 St. Mark Avenue Art Club (2. 3, Vice-Pres. 4); Mask and Mime (4); Red Cross Council (2, 3); Stage Work Club (3, 4); Banner Committee (4); Senior Play Committee (4). Ruthie's interests are chiefly confined to the arts; therefore she is much in demand when plays must be put on. or posters made. She is very much interested in a certain post-graduate, a trumpet player in our band. LAURENCE BEEKMAN College Preparatory 700 Coleman Place Spanish Club (4); Senior Play (4); Academic Committee (4). This winner of beauty contests is a well-known character about school whose really good humor is a nice change from his deep earnestness. Larry confesses to being fascinated by life in general, yet he is particularly responsive to the three R's.' Ruth, raspberries, and recreation. On Senior Day he exhibited the world s only remaining genuine Peter Thompson suit. CHARLOTTE LUCILLE BEERY College Preparatory 606 Dorian Road Dedication Committee (4); Annual Record Committee (4). This delicate blonde lass looks as if she must recently have risen gracefully from one of the carved horsehair-covered sofas of the 80‘s though there are times when she commits the heinous crime of chewing gum. Her sweetness and charm have won her many friends. No. Wallace Beery is no rela- tion. fit . i93 E.

His long I'cad saves IVealher Vane in financial crisis; his long (Scottish) form ornaments the Senior Play; his long fingers construct delicate, even exquisite, airplane models; and his long nose serves him excellently well when he glances disparagingly down it on all girls without dimples and a lisp. Then, tco. he concocts a cheese omelette worthy of an epic. N BI I MARION BEST College Preparatory q, .

A quiet, studious girl in school, Marion is quite lively outside. Have you ever heard her giggle? Or. belter still, have you ever seen her drive? She looks lost in that Stutz, vet she can run up the milr-age and the gasoline bill. We hope honors await her at Swarthmore. DEAN BEYER College Preparatory 312 Colonial Avenue Slide Rule Club (4); Alhle ic Council (4); Football (2. 3. W4); Track (2. 3. 4). We often wonder how Dean gels all those arms and legs of his. as well as a ccr'ain tall, dark sophomore. into his little tan roadster. All Dean's interests do not lie in affaires J’amour, for he is one of our best football and track men. He has the class record for lab breakage.

Despite small steps, we believe Bill will achieve success in a big way. ALFRED BUDDE General 561 Cumberland St. Orchestra (2. 3. 4) ; Band (2. 3. 4). Alfred's one of the five famous drummer boys of our school. Fie is also the one and only drummer of a local jazz band of note.

Jewell, the blonde Sybil of the Senior Play, has soaring ambitions; but because what goes up must come down, she contents herself with Cornell and Lawrenceville week-ends in the meantime. Her clothes, complexion, and hair are the envy of less favored classmates. ANNE BURKE College Preparatory 320 Prospect St. French Club (4). Always moving about, Anne never has a chance to be bored. After graduation she will live in Atlanta, Georgia, a long way from Allentown. Pa., a former home. Although her favorite indoor sport used to be contract bridge, she has been converted into one .of our dancing daughters. Twenty-six 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 BERNICE A.

Because she loves to minister, ministers love her. CHARLOTTE L. CLARK General Wwv Springfield Mask and Mime (4); Basketball (2); Holiday Play (2. 3). In the 18th Century Charlotte would have been called a brown beauty’ on account of her brunette loveliness. Her beauty and sweetness have attracted a host of admirers. Didi must have difficulty choosing between Pennsylvania and Cornell. DORIS COBLENS College Preparau$V- ze Avenue French Club (3. 4); Annual Committee (4). Dorrie. who came to Wes’ficld last year, is very popular on account of her delightful smile and pleasant disposition. She has mathematical interests here, and masculine interests in Atlantic Highlands. We’d like to know what she was doing on New Year's Eve. RUTH M. COLWELL College Preparatory Garwood Glee Club (2. 3, 4); Chemistry Club (4); Invitation Committee (3); Senior Play Committee (4). Here is a veritable bookworm who has great difficulty in holding on to the books she borrows from the library. In the classroom Ruth's steadiness and zeal must be a great comfort to her teachers. Incidentally, she speaks only at the right time. Twenty-seven 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 £01 A|fUC ScJUUy Edge P Avcpue DOROTHY F.

She was a zealous worker on the Publicity Committee of the Senior Play and the Records Committee of the yearbook. ALICE S. DAVENPORT General 653 Lenox Avenue We wonder about Alice's mysterious trips to New York and her escort, an English Beau Brummel named Jerry.

DIETZ College Preparatory 140 Harrison Avenue French Club (4): Journalism (3); Mask and Mime (2); Red Cross Council (3); Debate Club (4); Civic Committee (4); Holiday Plays (4) ; Track (2). Bill is the school's outstanding bonvivanl. A pet pastime is drawing the sickle and hammer on blackboards. We notice that he is conceded a five-minute handicap to get to school on time. Perhaps curly blond hair and a dimpled chin help. JOHN DONALDSON College Preparatory 425 S. Chestnut Street Academic Committee (4) ; Finance Committee (4) ; Tennis (2, 3, 4). Trust John to have most gratifying things to say about books in English Class! However, he once asked Miss Bordner a difficult question about in toxication which she could not answer. It is not unusual to see him lunching with two fair damsels, blonde and brunette. Thirty 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 PAUL W.

Here’s a talented, curly-haired fellow who occasionally speaks with a burr learned in preparation for the Senior Play. He designed one of our most distinctive magazine covers. Playing ball in the street, wading in brooks, and chasing defenseless rabbits to their warrens are some of this woman hater’s pastimes. DONALD EADIE College Preparatory 679 Rahway Avenue Art Club (3, 4); Band (2. 3, 4). I lard work in high school hasn’t made Donald grow old. Indeed, he rivals Bob Loomis in youthiulness.

Bunny is able to tell exactly what happens when a Mac truck hits an Austin. ANNA FEKANITCH Commercial Garwood Dedication Committee (4). Anna is one of our tall, slender girls, the envy of every heavy-weight champion. She is one of Miss Colley’s pets because she is so good-natured and dependable. She is noted for her nervous giggle.

Sixty-three 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 THE SENIOR PLAY T'v IA LOGIT- admirably true to character and strikingly brilliant fell from the lips of Ibe youthful actors in this year's Senior Play What Every Woman Knows, presented in the Westfield High School auditorium on the evenings of February 17 and 18. In spite of the fact that the play, one of the most delightful comedies written by that intensely individual and whimsical genius, Sir James Matthew Barrie, involved a mastery of the Scotch “burr and French and English accents and presented real difficulties in interpretation, the portrayal of the characters by the cast was so convincing that the performance was received with acclaim. The story of the play is subtly woven about a heroine, Maggie Wylie, who thought she was totally without “charrum. the sine qua non of matrimony. By an ingenious situation she is persuaded to marry John Shand, a young Scotchman who has been breaking into the Wylie home to study. Her father and brothers have agreed to finance his university education on condition that he marry Maggie on its completion. After they have been married for some time, and the compact has l een faithfully kept, John, now a member of Parliament, becomes infatuated with Lady Sybil, a very beautiful and sophisticated young English girl who uses all her wiles on him. Maggie who has promised “to act differently from other wives, sends John and Sybil to spend two weeks together at the home of the Comtesse de la Bruyere. The countess is a very delightful French woman who Sixty-four 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 first recognizes that Maggie possesses charm far beyond that of other women, and does Iter utmost to reveal it to Maggie's husband. John eventually awakens to the realization of Maggie's gifts and charm. Helen Winter, portraying Maggie Wylie, showed a rare appreciation of the difficult role. John Berryman, as her husband. John Shand, was very convincing as an egotistical Scot unaware of his wife’s importance in his career. Marjorie Snevily as the Cotntessc de la Bruvere captivated the audience with her charming French mannerisms and acting. Jewell Bunnell, playing the role of her niece, Lady Sybil, showed herself to be a truly fascinating and enchanting young creature. The parts of the elder Mr. Wylie, and his sons. David and James, were played by Caesar Petruzziello. Paul Drew, and Bob Nanz, all of whom played their parts with great abilitv and understanding. Robert Baird was admirable as an English diplomatist, and Lillian Scott made a charming maid. The entire production was under the most capable direction of Miss Agnes Irene Allardiee. who deserves much credit and praise for her splendid work. To Miss Howard and to members of the Art Department goes appreciation for their helpful cooperation in designing four elaborate sets and in assisting in many ways the production of the play.

Si.rly-fk'c 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 SENIOR DAY I.THOUGH many strange tilings have happened in Westfield in these years of depression, residents of this respectable hamlet were not prepared for the strange array of peculiar mammals ap| earing on its quiet streets on the morning of March 17. The town was thrown into a frenzy of fear as the alarm was broadcast that a daring band of convicts had escaped and had captured the town; but behind the formidable prison array, were discovered the innocent faces of Dixon, Young, Barker, Ketcham, Taylor, Mahanke, Beyer, and A rend—after all it was only Senior Day! Although there was a dearth of the usual baby carriages, there was the familiar abundance of little folk on roller skates. Principal among those who risked this perilous means of locomotion was coy Larry Beekman, bedecked with golden curls and clad in the only Peter Thompson suit in captivity. It was, we heard, a dress that mother used to wear. The costume of many students produced a decidedly international atmosphere, llerren Eskesen and Hazeltine brought back memories of Pilsner and Lieder-kranz as they paraded in their German shorts, the while they smoked their enormous mersehaums. Two stout laddies, Nanz and Drew, suggested bonnie Scot land in their swinging kilts and sporans. A1 Williams and Caesar Petruzziello provided an Italian contribution to the East Side with their peanut vending. A multitude of original seniors provided variety. Peregrinating newspapers and kitchens were no surprise to the initiated. These were supplied by two damsels, Pat Brady and Jane Wallace. A smart Naval officer, Jane Ford, and a re markable Indian chieftain. Jean Weems, hobnobbed with a bathing beauty of the past and a host of old-fashioned girls. The purity and grace of the only 1933 angel, Marcia Wallach, with her halo and lily, were set off by a multitude of devils, no doubt representative of the rest of the class. Female impersonators were numerous. some of the more striking being Robert Baird, Rosario Mannino, Joe Kin-dregan, and Bob Maltbie. These had plentiful excuses for late arrival in class on account of the necessity for further application of lipstick and time out for aid. In the afternoon, the usual Senior Day performance was presented before a packed house. This year it was a minstrel show with Edwards, Mannino, Young and Taylor as the wise-cracking men. Although some of the jokes went over the sophomores' heads, they provided amusing interludes to the skits which were presented by various members of the class. Aided and abetted by Barker’s fool proof band, and the lusty singing of the boys’ chorus, this year’s show was voted the ! est ever by the enthusiastic audience. After the show, the boys played the girls in the annual basketball classic. Arrayed in bloomers of various hues, the boys presented anything but a masculine appearance. Hampered by slings, burlap sacks and other impediments, they were at a distinct disadvantage, but in spite of these handicaps, they managed to win. Thus ended another Senior Day. The only trace of it found afterwards was one lonesome skate lying on the road to Springfield, and a certain acerbity on the part of the faculty after the annual joy day. Robert Taylor, '33.

New Jersey exce’s in the industries of shipping and ship-building. The city of Newark, situated on Newark Bay, has a ten and one-half mile waterfront and is constantly growing more promineni among the Atlantic ports. Eight South American and Pacific Coast steamship lines now make regular calls at the Municipal Pier of Camden and it is becoming a familiar sight to see flags of foreign nations in the port of Perth Amboy. The strategic position of our New Jersey shore and river borders is being recognized m. re and more bv the captains of industry and commerce. Although it is one of the smallest members of our Union, New Jersey distinguishes herself by ranking first among the United States in the amount of capital per siptare mile invested in the ship-building industry. California comes next, investing seven hundred dollars per siptare mile to New Jersey's thirty-two thousand. In 11)25, with its forty-five ship and boat-building establishments, its seven thousand six hundred and fifty-two employees, and twenty-seven million dollars worth of manufactured products, our state contained eight per cent of the number of establishments, employed fifteen per cent of the wage earners, and produced fifteen | er cent ■ f the manufactured products of the Un'ted States in this industry. The center of our ship-building is Camden. This city is very conveniently located between two navigable rivers, the Delaware and the Cooper. It has several large shipyards in which it is possible to make everything from yachts of the most exclusive design to battleships. Two boats of which we are very proud—our giant aeroplane carrier, the “Saratoga. and our Navy boat, the Colorado — were built there. The largest ship-bui'ding enterprise in Camden is the American Brown Boveri Electric Corporation.

Eiglity-one 1933 THE WEATHER VANE 1933 EW JERSEY, known as the “Garden State, well deserves its title. Any observant visitor to its principal farming counties carries away pictures of flourishing orchards, well-cultivated fields of vigorous potato, tomato, asparagus, bean, pepper, and egg-plant crops, orderly vineyards, and gorgeous flower farms. The state has a moderate climate, uniform rainfall, a fairly long growing season, and a diversified and fertile soil. This accounts for the variety of New Jersey crops. In addition to the more common apples and peaches. New Jersey is able to produce on a large scale many small fruits such as grapes, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Two indigenous wild fruits, the cranberry and the blueberry, have been cultivated at Whitesbog to such an extent that the yield of cranberries sometimes exceeds 15,000 barrels and that of blueberries, 2,000 crates. Grain crops, including com, wheat, oats, rye, buckwheat, and hay, are grown, but they are not so important as the $1,000,000 crops of such vegetables as tomatoes, sweet corn, string beans, asparagus, cabbage, and peppers. A very important factor in this extensive production is the proximity to such centers of population as New York and Philadelphia. Then, too. New Jersey herself boasts ever-growing manufacturing cities, towns, and summer resorts, all of which afford a steadily increasing market for fruits, vegetables, and flowers. In order to facilitate the distribution of their products, many New Jersey farmers have set up roadside markets and have learned to produce fruits and vegetables of high quality that appeal to autonrobilists. Many cities have curb and municipal farmers' markets which permit consumers to buy directly from the farmers. Thus the middle man is eliminated and prices are made reasonable. The farm industry in New Jersey has been producing more than $100,000,000 worth of major products. Naturally, many agencies have developed to assist the farmer. The educational work has been centered at the State University at New Brunswick. The State Department of Agriculture maintains a number of bureaus of value to the farmer.

New Jersey has been spinning and weaving beautiful fabrics which have been appreciated by people all over the I ler activity is by no means restricted to the more usual products of the loom, for her versatile scale ranges from delicate silks to the durable and practical linoleum. with upholstery and synthetic fur in between. The most outstanding textile to be manufactured in this state is silk, in which it ranks first in the national output. Before 1810. American silk had been manufactured totally by hand. It is interesting to read how Paterson, the center of the silk industry, finally became silk-conscious. It is true, of course, that the falls of the Passaic River had a large part in the selection of Paterson as a manufacturing site. However, in the dyeing of silk soft water is a necessity, and in 1853 an Englishman discovered that the waters of the Passaic were chemically ideal for this process. From that time dates Paterson’s fame and wealth as a si'k weaving, dyeing, and finishing center. Linen is also manufactured in Paterson. Two other very important textile cities are Passaic and Camden. Passaic is most important in the weaving of woolen goods. Its worsted mills produce goods of such quality that one of its fabrics has a considerable export sale in Paris —a fact of which, considering the prestige of Paris, we can be proud. The linoleum industry, also very important, flourishes in Camden. At the city's dock in Gloucester an average of a ship a week bearing cork from Spain. Algeria, and other foreign countries is unloaded. In recent years the artificial silk industry has also been developed remarkably. By way of summary of this fascinating subject, one has only to gaze at the kaleidoscope of color displayed behind New York’s shining windows to realize that the small State of New Jersey has “done herself proud in her gifts to the world. country.

The results of our efforts were evident when The Weather Fane captured another first prize in the annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest. Close on the heels of the opening tea. Weather Fane editors faced pertinent decisions on themes for each of the three Weather Fane issues, interviews with unusual people that the Interview section might reveal new charm, and on extensive plans for the yearbook, which, woven about an industrial theme, seemed full of promise. The strength and grace of our yearbook heading illustrations, representing New Jersey's industries, gave impetus to the workers who burrowed into huge geographies to find novel facts about the industrial and agricultural life of the State of New Jersey. Besides these activities, the Staff has been active in the Central Jersey Scholastic Press Association. Finally, we express our gratitude to Miss Bordner, our staff adviser, and to Mr. Neubauer, Miss Howard, and Miss I’elton for their invaluable guidance and assistance. Marjorie Grove, ’33.

Accordingly, the program of the November meeting was an introduction to Spanish. French and German masterpieces of the past through Mrs. Ernest Alpers, extensive traveler in Spain; Mr. Gaston Gesner. head of the French department and Miss |. Isabelle Dodds, teacher of German. The program of Greek and Latin writers in December was conducted by Mr. William Long, well-known lawyer of Westfield. In February Miss Edith Pitcher, alumna of Smith College and student of Andre Maurois. lectured on modern French writers. An entirely different kind of meeting was held in March when Miss Louise Jewett, dramatic coach, gave vivid readings from Shakespeare's King Lear, Romeo m l Juliet, and Kinfi John. Mr. Harry Kniffen, popular short-story writer, gave many hints for short-storv writing at the April meeting. The club year closed in May with a party.

Early in the club year a number of officers were elected, the four most important being Patrician Consul, Marie Torrey; Equestrian Consul. Shirley Parr; Scriptas, Hope Hastorf; and Quaestor. Hyman Soloway. The imposing names of these offices, for the uninitiated, quite conceal the familiar duties of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. Following the elections several entertaining meetings were held. At one of these the subject of criminals and gang wars of Rome was discussed. Various phases of Latin life were studied. Enterprising members made a tunic, a toga, and a helmet which were modeled by other students. A number of Roman weapons, including a catapult, an arbalesque, a scorpio, and an onager, were exhibited in miniature. Interesting recipes for favorite Roman dishes were read; Latin translations of There's a Long Long Trail A-winding and Where, Oh, Where Has My Little Dog Gone were sung; and Latin conundrums were enjoyed. As a delightful means of contributing to the cultural background of Latin students, the club should be encouraged.

Its membership is made up of students interested in world affairs. The society takes its name front Benjamin Franklin's “Junto, a group of young men who discussed public issues in C olonial Philadelphia. Among the outstanding current topics which have been warmly discussed are the Sino-lapanese situation, prohibition, disarmament. Germany, taxation, Cuba, and banking. For the last meeting of the year. Mrs. Frederic Beggs. chairman of the State Women's Clubs Department of International Relations gave an inspiring talk on international trends of 1933. The officers for this year were William Spalding, president; Byron Prugh, vice-president: Betty Becherer, secretary. To aid these officers and to stimulate discussions, a cabinet system consisting of nine portfolios was devised and placed under the care of members. A special committee clipped till important articles from the newspaper and filed them. The club has had an excellent season under the capable sit|)ervision of Mrs. Anne H. Barnard, and looks forward to even greater success next year. William Scaldixo, '34.

Knowledge of the slide-rule, an extremely useful, quick, and efficient method of calculating mathematical problems, is very essential for those students interested in engineering, science, or surveying work. Even merchants and bankers may use this rule to good advantage. Therefore, the Slide Rule Club of the West-field Senior High School aims to help the students in preparing for their future work. Under the guidance of a very capable president. Allen Hazeltine, and the faculty adviser, Mr. Johnson, the meetings have been devoted to instruction in the various uses of the rule and to its application to problems. Work sheets containing many types of problems are given out at each meeting. The members first working on the club mascot, a seven-foot slide rule, and later on their own rules, in this way gained the practice and confidence necessary to insure accurate calculations. Bob Xanz did a splendid piece of work as secretary-treasurer and the enthusiastic club members greatly appreciated his efforts. Chakles Helv, ’34.

To be a member of the Library Council, a student must be able to devote two full periods a week to helping Miss Bible, our librarian, under whose capable direction the Council has enjoyed a fruitful year. Among the events of the Council year were three of great significance. The first was a visit to the State Library Council ( h'ganization meeting at Newark, hollowing an excellent meeting, some of the members had lunch at Bamberger’s and visited the W O K broadcasting studios. Second came an interesting social event, the Annual Faculty Tea, at which the members of the Council were pleased to entertain their instructors. Then on May 6 the Council attended a meeting of the New Jersey School Library Council Association at New Jersey C ollege for Women, at which irginia Schweitzer served as Secretary-Treasurer.

Only devotion to the Society could result in the expenditure for a club picture, for the group is small. Founded so recently as last year and distinguished as first subsidiary local chapter of the Archaeological Society of New Jersey, the club may well he proud of its achievement, for one of the charter members has already made a valuable find. Richard Wakefield, last year's treasurer, was so fortunate as to discover a complete Indian burial which is now being exhibited in the State Museum at Trenton. Among the outstanding events of the present year were a field trip to Ash Swamp, where several jierfect arrowheads were found, and a visit to the private collection of Indian relics owned bv Colonel Leigh M. Pearsall, president of the New Jersey Society. The club members formed a joint collection of their finds which they exhibited in the school. The following officers functioned efficiently under the inspiring sponsorship of Mr. Harold Thompson: President, Edward Benson; Vice-President, Fred Talcott; Secretary.

Therefore it was not at all surprising to see the development of a new high school club, dubbed the Catalyst Club. So interested in this new organization were the students that forty appeared in 307 at the very first meeting of the dub on December 12. At every meeting of this scientific c'ub there has been a good speaker or an experiment by skilled chemists. Variety has been added by means of field trips to a number of chemical plants in nearby towns. During the short time in which the club has functioned, the members have increased their general knowledge of chemistry appreciably, under the guidance of Mr. W alter E. Johnson, adviser. Mr. Johnson was assisted by the following officers: Robert Robson, president: William Clark, vice-president: llaire Danne-felser, secretary; and Robert Vcrvoort. treasurer. The club members take great pride in being affiliated with the Student Science Clubs of America, an organization sponsored by the leading scientists of our country. O.AIKE Daxnefei.skk. '33.

Miss Olive llammell, under whose interested guidance the club has prospered, can boast a most successful year. Monthly meetings in which the young amateurs showed their collections of butterflies, war relics, minerals, stamps, .and cameos were varied with those at which speakers from the ranks of adult collectors gave of their knowledge and experience. For example, Mr. Charles A. Philhower thrilled the club with an exhibit and talk based upon New Jersey money from the days of the redskin. Mr. John Behrens and his son exhibited a costly collection of American coins. Mr. William Grove spoke on stamps which he divided into various classes: P. portraits: O, ordinary life; A, architecture: and K, economic history of the world. Another stamp authority. Mr. Elliot Perry, gave hints for beginning collectors during his talk in February, and exhibited rare stamps, different cancellations, and envelopes. These talks were of great value. A capable executive group consisting of Charles Harms, president: Marjorie Rolofif. vice-president; Catherine Van Doren, secretary; and William Tice, treasurer. proved helpful. Edward Benson, '34.

Many periods of classxvork and a great many hours of work outside of school have been spent in the production of the beautiful scenery for which Westfield 11 igh School is noted. As a vocation, stage design is fast receiving considerable recognition and this group of students has secured practice and enjoyed working in an interesting field of endeavor. The theory of the mechanics of a modern stage has been a chief topic of study. Small stage models of scenes of our productions have been made and through this medium the group has learned much regarding the stage from the mechanical standpoint. I'nder Miss Howard's instruction, a well-rounded course in this line has been presented. Some of the big problems of the club were the designing of sets for two very important plays. C banning Pollock’s The Tool and James M. Barrie's 11 'hat livery IVonuni K nines. The latter required four difficult sets.

The Club meets weekly and exhibits the fine and industrious spirit plus genuine interest which the above picture reveals. Members work on some project which they have chosen, earnestly trying to make a success of whatever their line of endeavor may be. Although the Art Club originally was divided into two groups, one working in oils and the other studying crafts, it has progressed far beyond these limited activities. Flowers and still life provided studies for those interested in oils, but other interested students worked in tempera and charcoal, achieving surprising results. Portrait studies and sketches of costume models were also very popular with the young artists. The art exhibition which the W estfield Art Association sponsors annually to provide incentive for school artists was held in April, and many of the most striking works of art came from Art Club members. All worked hard to produce something worth exhibiting. An exhibition was also held in the lower halls at the end of the year. William Ewf.n, ’34.

All of these upheld the standards of the club to the best of their ability. The club offers such a wide field of activity that it boasts many stage and costume designers of great ability, capable dressmakers, and clever technicians, as well as good actors.

Members of the stage committee planned a series of platforms decorated in blue and white, the school colors. To these the classes brought their donations to the Children’s Country Home as the respective class president dedicated the gifts. They were received by a Master of Ceremonies who then presented them to children from the primary grades who represented the Home. A spirit, common to all, was secured by each member of the school through wearing an arm band of the school colors and singing songs of Thanksgiving. ()n Thursday. December 22, The Nativity of tlic Manger, a Christmas tableau by Helen Durham, was presented. The student audience attended the morning performance, while friends and patrons were invited for the evening. So well attended and appreciated were both presentations that the above custom will be continued. The stage was designed as the interior of a Gothic church in which the nativity scenes were portrayed. From niches in the wall, two narrators revealed the story. A vested choir took its place with the processional “O Come, All Ye Faithful.” One Hundred Tight 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 In the singing of the lesser known, vet more beautiful carols, the choir was ably supported by a brass quartet and a string ensemble.

The emotional influence of the music and of the setting was increased by the pantomime of four tableaux relating the events of the first Christmastide. The unity achieved through the art. drama, and music filled the spectator with a sense of profound awe and wonder. The Easter play was It Is I, a Biblical drama by Ethel Gesner Rockwell. The seven episodes portrayed the story of the conversion of Marv of Magdela. With her. appeared Joanna, wife of Herod's chief steward: Mithrael. an aged servant; Polonius. a Roman of high rank: Judas, a disciple of Jesus: and the voice representing Christ. The play was laid in Jerusalem in the garden of Joanna during Passion Week in the life of Christ. Mary, who previously had used her personal charms to beguile, was converted to a life of truth and love in lesus. Judas, chagrined bv his weak discipleship. accepted the Bible in the expectation that Jesus would show His power over His enemies—to declare Himself God in very truth.

Earlier in the year the Junior Red Cross of Westfield asked for small gifts of money to aid the homeless and destitute in Porto Rico after the hurricane. We responded with a contribution of $18.25. The Children’s Country Home Thanksgiving drive for articles of food was a great success. The Thanksgiving chapel program featured the donations. In December Miss Bible told of the havoc the September hurricane had wrought in a part of Porto Rico with which she is familiar. We solicited clothing for the children of that section, and later learned through Miss Bible that our gifts bad done a great deal of good. Last year tlte Junior Red Cross of Westfield gave $150 to the National Children's Fund. A part of this fund supports the Albanian Vocational School at Tirana, Albania.

The earliest American pottery was found in the pueblos of Colorado and ew Ancient records reveal that the manufacture of ceramics in New Jersey had its start in 1659. Endowed by nature with an abundant supply of brick and fire days and benefited by easy access to immigrant labor trained in ceramic work. New Jersey has moved rapidly to a leading position among the pottery manufacturing states of the nation. Combined with these factors is the ever-increasing demand for ceramic products which has accompanied the growth of New York and Philadelphia as cultural and business centers. Although New Jersey ranks second to Ohio in the quantity of output, it leads all other states in the quality and variety of its products. The first important item of manufacture is sanitary ware, while the second is electrical porcelain supplies which are so essential to the modern system of jiower distribution. Beautiful art pottery, china, and terra cotta are also manufactured. Of such fine quality and beautiful design is the Lenox ware, made in Trenton, that some of it is included in the exhibition of fine china at the museum in Sevres, France. From the terra cotta works of Perth Amboy have come glistening facades of many buildings in the I'nited States. Cuba, South America. Australia. South Africa, and Japan. Besides ranking second in the production of all manner of day products, including dishes, tile, bricks, terra cotta, and sanitary ware, New Jersey ranks first in the mining of raw day. The principal day beds lie in the marl belt between Raritan Bay and Camden. So important is ceramics as an industry that Rutgers, the State University at New Brunswick, conducts a special department for young men interested in its various phases. Recently a very fine exhibition was held in the Ceramics Building where one was able to see raw materials, processes of manufacture, and finished products. Mexici). Robert Taylor, ’33.

Even Coach Duncan admitted that he never expected to have a backtield which could replace that famous quartet of the year before. However, after witnessing the Blue and White play their first game, the local supporters decided that Westfield had something. Dominick Urciuolo was bucking the line as well as ever, and Frank Ketcham turned out to be Waring’s equal in broken field running. Mr. Faust, building around three lettcrmen, turned out the best defensive line Westfield has ever had. This team went through a schedule of nine games under the leadership of Captain Barker, winning seven, losing one, and tying one. In the more important games the Blue and White won from Plainfield 13-6 and from Columbia 27-6. but the Roselle jinx persisted and the outcome of the combat was a scoreless tie. The one loss which mars the record was the defeat at the hand of our arch rival, Cranford, by a count of 21-16. The aerial attack used by Cranford was a little too much for the Westfield backfield.

They never admitted defeat till the closing whistle and then if beaten they would come back in their next game with even more pep and a greater will to win. Coach Murphy, with his eyes on even better teams in the future, played many sophomores and juniors throughout the season. Therefore next year will find the team ready with experienced men filling every position. From the first practice Mr. Murphy had three letter men to build around. These were Barker. Huston, and Johnson. However, three fine guards were discovered in Kaiser, Luce, and Frye. The second team, composed mainly of sophomores, turned in victories in more than half of their contests and played some smart fast ball.

Strangely enough, too. although the equipment was originally designated for the girls’ use, many manly youths have taken over the sport. The fascination of the game made the boys ask so many times for the girls’ horseshoes that man-sized shoes were also supplied. The pits are in use during gymnasium periods as well as after school; and jt is said by one of the members of the faculty that boys even seem to get up early to play. Actually, the girls have seen very little of their horseshoes except during gymnasium periods, but we hope that next year they will have opportunities to improve their skill in private games or in tournaments for the entire school.

'33 One Hundred Twenty-seven 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 KW JERSEY, chiefly a manufacturing state, has among her most important industries the refining of crude petroleum. Although the state is quite far removed from most of America’s oil fields, the excellent transportation facilities and the proximity of the business and industrial centers of the country make the industry possible. Because the oil wells are not close at hand, it is necessary to transport the crude to the refineries. Several methods are used. The most familiar, perhaps, is by tank car. The names of oil companies emblazoned on the sides of railroad tankers are a common sight in New Jersey. Steamships are also used to transport crude. The least apparent method of all is the pipe line, in which the petroleum is pumped from the well to the refinery. While New Jersey has but 2' of the refineries in the country, the oil production of this state ranks fourth in the Union. The state's eight refineries run over jfii.oco barrels of crude a day. Over i.uoo men are employed in the refining end of the business. Crude oil in its original state is practically useless, but when refined there are two hundred fifty-one different products made from it, varying from soap to jewelry. The process of refining crude is commonly referred to as fractional dis filiation. Crude oil is a very complex mixture of hydrocarbons, each with a slightly different boiling point. The oil is placed in immense stills and heated to a comparatively low temperature. The more volatile fuels such as naptha and benzol boil first and then arc removed to be distilled again. As each group is boiled off, the temperature is raised: then the next heavier group is boiled off. This continues until nothing is left but the very heavy and gummy liquids which do not boil until terrific temperatures are reached. About forty percent of the liquid so far distilled is gasoline. Since gasoline is the most desirable form of refined crude, an effort was made to discover a way to convert this useless sludge into gasoline. After several years of research the process known as cracking” was discovered. This remnant sludge is placed in large boilers and subjected to temperatures and pressures so high that the heavy and complex molecules of rhe sludge are broken down to lighter and simpler hydrocarbons of the gasoline group. With motor cars becoming increasingly popular and aviation opening another field for petroleum fuels, the industry has a bright future. With the discovery of “cracking” less petroleum will be wasted than in former days, and the full realization of the industry's efforts for improvement will be attained. John Berryman, ’33.

Mr. Beyer said that of all the gifts he has given, none gave him more pleasure to donate than the new glass for the laboratory barometer, lie said, very modestly, that in his two vears in the Science Department he has replaced over fifty dollars worth of used articles with new and shining ones. We commend this spirit. Mr. Beyer told us that he has in mind a new hospital for the hopelessly crippled. He said that two of his playmates in physics have already applied for admittance. iii Robert Bid Mai.tbie It was with no little difficulty that the Kar-to-the-Loudspeaker Department of the Wcallier Fane Annual secured permission to visit the studios of the Amalgamated Broadcasting C'orp. during Untie Bud Maltbie’s program. We were led to Studio 6, where Untie Bud was crooning to the dulcet music of his orchestra. Standing before one of the four mikes , Untie Bud opened with his theme song. Dinah. “Untie Bud told us that he liked his work, and that it satisfied his aesthetic longings. We were amazed to hear that he received over five hundred fan letters a dav. Untie Bud informed us with a sly smile that as yet no woman had appeared on the horizon for him, in spite of the hundreds of gushing letters which he has received. After an interesting chat with America's Lover, we returned, convinced that American crooners surpass all others. ret Dexter Force We heard the other day from Professor Slug that the young man of today should affect an air of unconcerned nonchalance. The Department of Lectures One Hundred Thirty 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 ami Speeches of the 11'cat her Vane .Inniiat. which covered Mr. Slug's speech, tried to think of some one with an air of unconcerned nonchalance. Suddenly one of our less dense members awoke somewhat and cried, I have it! Dexter Force. It was indeed true that he was our man. The staff went immediately to the aforementioned nonchalant one and found him deep in the entrails of his bass viol engaged in cleaning the liear lairs out of it. When asked how he acquired his striking manner. Mr. Force said, Well, you see. I guess my viol did it. When I first got it, I was sort of scared of it. but pretty soon 1 got to know it like a brother. I got to know it so well that I con’d be unconcerned about it. Laurence Beekman The Ear-to-the-Ground Department of the Weather Vane Annual called at Mr. Laurence Beckman's school of dancing some two weeks ago, We sat on the comfortable couches lining the smooth floor while Mr. Reekman finished the lesson he was giving. His grace and the intricacy of his steps fascinated us all. When he had finished and led the rapture-tilled student from the floor, we were introduced to the exponent of the modern graceful dance. Mr. Beekinan told us that from his earliest high school days he had used so-called tricky steps. He soon gained fame and recognition, and giving up theology, he started his now famous Beckman School of Ballroom Dancing. Richard Abend During the last few months several complaints about the marking system of our school have come to the attention of the Complaints and Re-adjustments Department of the Weather l ane Annual. Determined to get the views of some person on the inside, so to speak, we approached Mr. Richard Amid. Mr. Arend said, The marks!—Ohmigosh—whatachisel—Say—Mr. Donk? Mr. Johnson?—Oh! Gee! Are they ever?—Oh Boy! From these remarks it can easily be seen that the marking system will remain as at present. i i Eduar Talbot The Low-Down Department of the Weather l ane Annual determined to look into the Down With Everything Party, headed by Edgar Talbot, lie permitted us to interview him only after forcing us to secrecy. The platforms holding tip Edgar are: Down with Latin. Up with Mr. Donk (on a noose). Down with School and Everything. When he had said down about fifty times we thought we were in an elevator; so we got off at the ground floor and bid Edgar good-bye. i i i Robert Taylor Upon observing a smooth-looking pipe sticking out of a car window, we were naturally anxious to delve into the private life of the man behind it. Consequently, the Department of Eager Desire to Gain Knowledge of the Wrather Vane Animal enlisted its most worthy executive to perform the delicate task. One Hundred Thirty-one 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 Upon arrival, our interviewer was met with a condescending leer. On seeing this distinguished character he immediately recognized him as the prominent dehater-about-town. Our representative opened the brief seance accordingly, and because of his tact Mr. Taylor gave him a break and spoke, “I will bare my snui to the press—if you will promise to print my words with accuracy.’’ Two statements made were, Primus. “'I adore to hold a pipe between my teeth ( I do have teeth) even if I can only afford mother’s coffee and tea leaves : Secundo, “1 have a secret love—a junior. i i i Ann it Marks We. the Weather Vane Department for the Prevention of the Release of Those Who Afflict Us with Insomnia, stopped a perfect specimen for our research in the person of Anne Marks for a brief but illuminating cross-examination. However, we were halted in our great works bv a chill and piercing cry which emanated front the depths of our victim and which was .accompanied by a stare so wild and glaring that we fled in panic, mercifully thanking the deities for preserving our safety. Thus, one more effort in behalf of science was thwarted by man’s great fear of the unknown. iii Mari.akit Cri'irr The unstable status of women in the Westfield High School led the Weather Vane Department of the Protection of Women's Rights to investigate a typical specimen. Margaret Cupitt. She was surrounded by a group of mezzanine hurdlers, prominent among whom was a happy fellow punctured by an unlit pipe. Margaret was very hospitable, and invited us to meet her dog, a small, fiery one named Herman, who greeted us with a friendly bite, which left us minus one square inch of pants. Margaret in the meantime posed and chatted to the edification of her following. Unable to get a word in edgewise, we went home determined to write her a letter since in this way the conversation might become a dialogue. t r Luka Anderson The News Department of the Weather Vane Annual has the sorrow to report that there was no way to get any statement from Miss Lura Anderson. Her dimples so fascinated the reporter that little or nothing was accomplished. It is to the shame and sorrow of vour correspondent that he let feminine wiles and charms defer him from his duty to the Weather Vane Annual.

One Hundred Thirty-three 19 3 3 THE WEATHER VANE 19 3 3 A ROOM OF ONF S OWN XT 0 V, just why should I have t sleep with Willie? I don’t want you to misunderstand me; I don’t mind Willie as Willie. I don’t doubt that if I met Willie on the street. I would say to myself. There’s a nice looking fellow.’’ Hut when Willie sleeps, there comes a transfiguration that rivals and sometimes surpasses that of the renowned Dr. Jekyll. Willie does not content himself with the commoner forms of insomniant expression, although he does use them to advantage. He snorts, gurgles, laughs, tosses, shouts, mutters, and recites poetry in his sleep. I wouldn’t mind that so much if 1 could hear what he says; but he buries his head in the pillow, and listen as hard as I may, 1 can’t make a bit of sense out of his maniacal mouthings. And, as if that weren’t enough. Willie walks in his sleep. How many of you have waked suddenly in the stillness of the night to he confronted by a black shape crouching against the darker blackness of the room, searching, groping, coming closer and closer? You can see the knife gleaming in the dim light.... closer____closer.... and now it’s right beside the bed. lt’ got you. LOOK OUT!!! Hut it’s only Willie walking in his sleep. To those of you who have had this experience. I do not need to tell bow much a room of one’s own is desired by those of us who have to room with a somnambulist like Willie. My people are persons of average intelligence, so I figured that if I put it up to them as man to man I ought to be allowed to use the guest room (which is never used anyway) for my private room. Hut I was wrong again. I can’t see why you want a room of your own. 1 think you should be glad of a chance to sleep with William. Why, when I was small, we used to sleep ten and twelve in a bed and not only that but--” Hut you all know how it goes and so do I. The next day I tried another tack. “Why shouldn’t Willie have a room of his own?’’ 1 ventured. “Why, I’m sure William doesn’t want a room of his own, he seems to be perfectly happy.” And why shouldn’t Willie be perfectly happy? I don’t walk in my sleep and I don't gurgle and I don’t shout out in the night. Why. I don’t even snore!
