Although at times Dot’s eyes get her into trouble, they make her we 1 liked by everyone There are few more devoted sisters than Dot; in fact, she seems as fond of Tom as she does of the owner of one of those blue and yellow Fords that hang around Walnut Street, and that’s saying something.

Broad Street Spanish Club (3. 4); Banner Committee (Chairman 4); Holiday Play Committee (2, 3); Prom Committee (3); Senior Play Committee (4). The girls all agree that Larry is the ‘'smoothie” of West-field High. We can expect Larry to blossom out some day as an admiral or a general, since he's always masquerading as a British army officer or a sea captain. And isn’t he handsome that way? Or any way? 12} - MARIAN E. BARTHOLOMEW College Preparatory 554 Birch Avenue Orchestra (2. 3. Assistant Librarian 4); Band (3. Librarian 4); All State Orchestra (3. 4).

He loves to talk and argue: therefore he lias l� een in several plays and debates. He is often identified by his red hair and his green Pontiac, both of which are frequently seen on Birch Avenue.

ISABELLE BONSALL College Preparatory 114 South Euclid Avenue Latin Club (4); Spanish Club (3, 4); Glee Club (4); Orchestra (2); Chess Club (4). The blonde, naive Isabelle is one of the two girl members of the Chess Club, which undoubtedly shows her superior mental capacity.

She seems to be impervious to males, hut perhaps she is fooling us. ;;T' - 14 j� - SAMUEL BRACHITTA College Preparatory 417 South Elmer Street Latin Club (3); Slide Rule Club (4). “Sam ran be found during almost any spare moment with his nose industriously buried in some problem of chemistry or physics, although lus greatest diversion is riding around m a green “something that he calls a Lord.

PEGGY LEE BROTHERTON General 1343 Central Avenue Glee Club (2); Mask and Mime (2); German Night (2. 3. 4); Senior Play Committee (4).

Latin Club (2, 3. (Juaestor 4); Spanish Club (3. President 4 ; Weather Vane (4); Hi’s Eye (Kditor-iu-Chief 4): - Catalyst Club (4); Senior Play Captain (4); Literary Club (4). Boh Brown—this name conjures up visions of a serious young man hurrying along the halls, always perusing a honk of some sort, or quoting Spanish, or extracting interviews from reluctant pedagogues without novocaine. It is Boh who made the Spanish Club, wrote a play, and punned. -4 15 BEVERLY BROWNING College Preparatory 819 Cedar Terrace French Club (2, 3. 4); Glee Club (3. 4); Annual (4).

Although Clem is an outstanding pupil in taking dictation, she is the only one who can read her notes. At least, that’s what her friends say. hut who can call them friends after that?

With her keen sense of responsibility, her willingness to work, and her sunny disposition. Jean will make a valuable addition to some college next fall. At the present, however, it seems as if Jean’s good looks and personality have done much to win her one of Colgate’s best. - 3(17 MAZIE MOORE COLBY General 1004 Irving Avenue Orchestra (2); Civic Committee (2); Senior Play Committee (4). Mazie was the victim of an unfortunate accident when she was a child. But don't take it too seriously—she was merely misnamed. and steps had to be taken to name her back again! Mazie. who broke all records for days absent during the year, is a wonderful pianist. MARJORIE F. COLES Commercial 225 Edgewood Avenue Treasurer (2): Spanish Club (3); Collectors Club (4); Orchestra (3, 4); Band (3. 4); Red Cross Council (3); Finance (2. 3); Senior Play Committee (4). “Midge” of the rosy complexion and dancing blue eyes is one of our accomplished musicians.

Ruthie fits that old saying The littlest machines make the most clatter” to a T.” She always seems to be running around doing a dozen things at the same time.

VIRGINIA MAE CORNELLIER College Preparatory 325 Kimball Avenue Glee Club (2, 3. 4); Library Council (3, Treasurer 4); German Night (2. 3, 4); Civic (4); Prom (3); Senior Play Committee (4).

BETTY CROOK College Preparatory Garwood French Club (3, 4). Betty, our bright-eyed, red-headed representative from Garwood, amuses herself by constantly tantalizing Monsieur Gesiici. However, she may well he termed a volatile Frenchwoman, a character which she successfully portrayed in a recent French play. Ye often wonder what she dav-dreains about with those large blue eyes. Some say it’.-Garwood. EVA CROSS College Preparatory Westfield Avenue Glee Cluh (2, 3. 4); Orchestra (2. 3, 4 ; Library Council (2. 3. 4); Literary Club (4). Eva has been with us on and off for many years, and through them we have learned of her musical ability and her infectious good-nature. Cranford, we hear, is her happy hunting-ground and that is where she adjourns to on her week-ends. Whatever college she chooses will find a fine girl and a cheerful worker in Eva. CATHERINE CROW College Preparatory 239 Sinclair Place Spanish Cluo (3. 4): Soccer (2). Cay” is one of the “smoothies” of the class who manages to keep her outside activities pretty much of a secret.

RICHARD CRUIKSHANK Commercial 15 Effingham Place Journalism (2. 3); Civic Committee (4); Baseball (3); Football Manager (2. 3. 4); Track (2. 4); Swimming (4). Dick is best remembered ns the 1934 football manager, dashing on the field every five minutes with his trusty first aid kit. 11 is half-interest in Sherry Haines’ Ford lias also created much interest around school, but for all this Dick’s a good scout after all.

LAURENCE CURRIER College Preparatory 581 Westfield Avenue Slide Rule Club (4); Annual (4); Catalyst Club (3, President 4); Senior Play Cast (4); German Night (3, 4). Law” is a quiet, hard-working fellow whose one and only ambition i to become a doctor. He is the possessor of The Inquiring Mind,” according to Mr. Johnson.

EDITH DELLA SERRA Commercial Mountainside Typing Club (3); Civic Committee (3); Pin and Ring Committee (4); Glee Club (4). Hdie” is one of the few girls who are gifted with wavy hair.

Manager 4). If anyone doubts Tony’s willingness and ability to assume responsibility, please witness his list of activities above.

DORA DIQUATTRO Commercial 215 Hyslip Avenue Spanish Club (3); Typist Club (3); Academic Committee (2); Annual Committee (4). Dora is not really flirtatious; she is just friendly and enjoys a good laugh. She is active in sports and keeps up the family tradition scholastically.

Marion’ toothpaste-“ad smile scents to have done damage there. RUTH DUNN College Preparatory 503 Carleton Road French Club (4); Latin Club (4); Journalism (4); Annual (4); Senior Play Committee (4). Although Ruth was voted the shyest girl in the Senior clas . from what we’ve heard, this doesn’t seem to be true. Her special hobbies are journalism, debating, and dissecting the poor helpless animals in biology, but she really isn’t as bloodthirsty as she sounds. Plainfield has a special attraction for her. We wonder why. JOSEPHINE EDSELL College Preparatory 22 Stoneleigh Park Jo. whose golden ringlets make one want to touch them, is a pink and white southern lass with an accent that is the joy of her classmates. Our fashion plate makes Brother Foose smile when she expatiates on the horrors of life on Fgdon Heath. In the parlance of the South.

MADELEINE ESKESEN College Preparatory 150 Mountain Avenue French Club (3, 4); Glee Club (2. 3. 4): Orchestra (3); Catalyst Club (4); Annual (4); Senior Play Cast (4). “Maddy. although one of the youngest, is a star pupil of the Senior Class and expects to keep up her good record in Mt. Holyoke next year. Underneath her quiet reserve is hidden a fun-loving personality, which, however, was not given much of a chance to show itself in her part of “F.ssie” in the Senior Play. BLANCHE EVANS General 405 Osborne Avenue Glee Club (3. 4). Blanche is the very attractive blond girl who is always smiling.

CHARLES FEDDERMAN General 53 Alden Avenue Vice-President (3): Academic Committee (2); Football (2. 3). “Chuck is a demon when it comes to warming the hearts of the susceptible ladies.

Al. the inspiration ul Mr. Allen’s Latin IV class, is a piano bend. It lias been suggested that be instab a piano in bis Ford so that the church organ and school piano might have a rest. Speaking of the Ford, we wonder why it is always parked on Mountain Avenue when Al lives at the above address. CARL FILSINGER College Preparatory 1114 Grandview Avenue Debate Club (2, 3): Forum (3, 4); Chess Club (4); Swimming (3. Captain 4). Carl is another backbone � -t the swimming team, and proof of his ability in the pool is shown by his election as captain this year. Carl's truly beautiful rnd-gold hair is the envy of every girl, and one Pictonite especially. If you want to know anything about the Japanese situation, ask Carl. VERNON FLAMMER General 718 South Avenue Debate Club (3); Forum (4): Civic Committee (4). Vcrnie” or •‘Jasper.” one of the tallest boys in the class, spends most of his time prancing on a foaming steed through the winding trails of the Watchung Reservation or around the track at the Armory.

ALBERT FLEMER College Preparatory Springfield French Club (3. 4); Latin Club (4); Finance Committee (4); Holiday Play (4); Senior Play Cast (4); Athletic Council (2. 3); Basketball (2. 3): Track (3. 4).

FOGARTY College Preparatory 243 Hazel Avenue Holiday Plays (3): Prom Committee (3); Senior Play Cast (4): Athletic Council Treasurer (4); Football Manager (2. 3. W4); Golf ( Y2, 3. 4). Whenever Dot Ay ling sighs “Wherefore art thou. Romeo? Eddie is sure to come chugging up in that delicate little blue vehicle called a Ford. Mr. Fogarty is a naive, winsome, blond, who is kind to animals, and a good sports manager. You may remember that whenever you had to shell out some money, Buttons’’ was on the receiving end. -4 23 GILBERT FOSTER General 1011 Rahway Avenue Collectors’ Club (2. 3, 4); Academic Committee (2); Senior Play (4); Football (3. 4); Tennis (2.

Tom seems to spend most of his time trying to keep from showing off his many talents as evidenced by his refusals to tap dance, sing, or crack jokes. Our co-humor editor has a mania for drawing grotesque Mexicans and prize-fighters which often adorn our blackboards and scare innocent teachers out of a year's growth. JANE FULLERTON College Preparatory 237 Sylvania Place Although for the past few months Jane has deserted us for Linden Hall, we still claim her as a member of our class. We remember her as an obliging, happy-go-lucky Jane tearing around corners in her big Auburn, or as a tall, slender, piquant Jane, with a marvelous ability to keep her small (very small) voice going continually. And thinking over Jane—well—she just couldn’t belong to any other school but Westfield High. We wouldn’t let her.

Betty's charming personality and gav smile have won for her the title of the most attractive girl in the senior class. Her tan Plymouth creates much excitement around school, especially when Betty wants to get somewhere in a hurry. As for romance. Betty goes in for older and more experienced males than our humble seniors. PAUL W. GILBERT College Preparatory 425 Lenox Avenu?

RUTH GLASSER General 118 East Broad Street Where are you going my black-haired miss? Pm of! to Alaska, sir. she said.

V4): Basketball (2, 3, W4); Football (2. 3. V4). It certainly is good to have such a “happy-go-lucky attitude about things such as Dud” offers. His ability in sports is only one of his outstanding achievements. Two of his hobbies are sleeping and eating, but we won’t hold that against him. He really is a regular fellow as many know. It is now rumored that Dan is trying to earn a letter from Dan Cupid.

We predict that Janet's scholastic ability and winning personality will take her a long way at Wellesley. LORRAINE GREINER College Preparatory 206 Maryland Avenue Red Cross Council (2); Spanish Club (3); Forum (4); Senior Play (4); Basketball (2); Volley Ball (2).

FRANKLIN HARDCASTLE College Preparatory 510 Mountain Avenue Red Cross Council (2); Annual (4); Athletic Council (2); Football (2, 3. VV and Manager 4); Tennis (2, V3. 4); Track (3). Frank keeps us in wonder as to his frequent jaunts to Old Greenwich. Conn. Rumor tells us that the beautiful scenery along the Hudson on the train ride up is not the reason for his wanderings.

The Senior Class’s voting Betty the class bluffer seems to suggest the best way to describe this half of the Havi-lauds. Betty’s idea of worthy use of leisure time seems to be to recuperate on Miss Swift’s couch, but this is only during school hours. So far, no hidden talents have been discovered in the “handsome duke,” but there’s still hope. MILDRED HECKEL Commercial Summit Road Glee Club (2). Mil,” who is a very quiet girl, is disinclined to hurry. Whenever we see her, she is leisurely walking through the hall, a picture of unruffled calm.

CORNELIA HOFFMAN General 592 Terrace Place “Toadie got her original nickname when she was “knee-high-to-a-grass-hopper and too fat to walk.

MARIE KLUGE Commercial 614 Cumberland Street Academic Committee (4); Annual (Senior Picture Committee). Marie, although a most sedate and conscientious girl, occasionally appears in detention.

As a member of the most efficient of Annual committees. Marie proved herself invaluable. MYRON KOHLER General 238 St. Paul Street Athletic Council (4).

Civic Committee (2); Holiday Play Cast (3, 4). In direct contrast to Ruth’s dangerous-looking beauty is her utterly charming personality. As “Miriam in the Faster Play, she reached the climax of her stage career in the High School, which has been developing through her three years. GEORGE WOODRUFF Commercial 631 Downer Street During his short sojourn with us this year we discovered George’s passions for movies and a long thin pipe. It is said that believing in the efficacy of rail-splitting along the paths to the White House, he has taken up this occupation to increase his brawn and sinew.

An ardent participant in all sports, Herbert is proving this year that he is also a student. HELEN ZOLLO Commercial 624 Downer Street Basketball (2); Hockey (2): Soccer (2). A few year’s ago we thought we had seen the last of the Zollos, but along came Helen, just as attractive and able as her admirable sisters. Helen is especially interested in commercial subjects.

Much can be said about this jovial, popular Senior Class President because of his many accomplishments, his bright personality, and his remarkable ability for making people laugh.

PERSIS WOOLFE College Preparatory 1407 Rahway Avenue Class Secretary (4); Art Club (2); Spanish Club (3): Weather Vane (2); Athletic Council (3 ; Finance Committee (2 ; Senior Play (Program Committee and Cast). Somehow in Judie's stateliness there is contradiction. Her good nature belies her auburn hair and her efficiency as class secretary finds its opposite in her carefree personality. Although Judie's temperament is what is often termed “artistic, she has an unlimited ability to get along with people.

George Bernard Shaw's humorous melodrama, The Devil's Disciple.'' presented in the high school auditorium on the evenings of February sixteenth and seventeenth, proved ideal, for it combined exciting incident, clever dialogue, colorful costumes and setting, and gave an opportunity to act to a cast of fifty. Since for some time the choice of play had required rigorous training in dialect or accent not always appreciated by the public, a play definitely American proved exceptionally refreshing. The play had as its setting the town of Westerbridge. New Hampshire, in Revolutionary times and most of the characters spoke very much as we do so that the mild British accents of General Burgoyne and Major Swindon and the Cockney speech of the Sergeant produced agreeable contrast. Featuring as it does a family blacksheep who is really the best of the lot and is willing to sacrifice his life for another, and a New England minister who goes military, the play is full of interest. Tense moments are plentiful and there are few more interesting scenes than the one in which the late Mr. Dudgeon's will is read, that in which Richard Dudgeon passes himself off as the Reverend Mr. Anderson, and the final scene in which the hero stands with the noose about his neck The acting this year was exceptionally good. Roger Dixon assumed satisfactorily the difficult role of Richard Dudgeon, a young man who. reared 56 } - THE SENIOR PLAY in a household where the Puritan religion had died, found himself starving for religion, the most clamorous need of his nature. The part of the spirited minister who discovered that he ought to be a man of action was convincingly played by Alfred Baumann. Judith Anderson, the minister’s somewhat weak and susceptible little wife was charmingly portrayed by Mary Ellen Onlev. Barbara Newman was little short of astonishing as Mrs. Dudgeon, Richard’s bitter, calculating, hypocritical mother. Paul Muller played to perfection the part of Christy. Richard’s half-witted brother, while Madeleine Eskcsen was especially appealing as the brow beaten Essie whose plight serves to bring out Richard's tenderness. Benson Darlington played the difficult role of the suave, cultivated General Burgoyne with a poise that could not be shaken even by an audible rip in his garments. Thomas Ayling as Major Swindon gave one of the most convincing interpretations of the evening. As background for a splendid performance there were five realistic stage sets designed and painted by members of the Stagecraft Club under the direction of Miss Harriet Howard. Music of the Revolutionary period was provided by the orchestra between acts and by members of the band in the final act through the efforts of Miss Ingalls and Mr. Warner. Innumerable services were performed by capable committees under the direction of students and faculty members. Miss Agnes Irene Allardicc. dramatic coach, who so ably directed the large cast, deserves the gratitude of the entire class for her tireless efforts to make this difficult production one of the high lights in Westfield High School play history. -♦■{57 SENIOR DAY 'Twas the night before Senior Dug When all through the town. Two hundred odd seniors kneeled reverently down. And forth from each mouth There issued a prayer That the morrow might dawn, both balmy and fair. IN answer to this reverent plea, the sun arose warm and bright. The first sign of the day’s hilarity came at six-thirty when the cannibals drove about in their grass hut collecting that crew of head-hunters who had invested two bucks each in their costumes. Later, as hordes of seniors in various stages of dress and undress flocked to school, the last minute commuters, running to catch the eight-ten. couldn't resist pausing for a moment to stare, only to break out into broad grins as it suddenly dawned on them that this was Senior Day. Once at school the motley group lined up in the coop for the big parade, guaranteed to make sophomore jaws drop in amazement. But wait—what's this coming around the corner of the coop ? None other than Jutsey Becker, all decked out in tiger skins and extra muscle. In one enormous paw this Tarzan clutched a mighty club, the while he dragged his shrinking mat little Winnie LaCrosse. by the other. Directly upon their heels were two handsome Indians. Big Chief Whom Women Run After Hahn and Heap Strong Brave Dirty Shirt in the Wash Luce, accompanied by squaws Wiggins and Rosendale. The ladies' hearts were all a-flutter at the sight of so much redskin. Now to classes! It was unanimously decided that Miss Bordner had the greatest cross to bear in trying to teach her first period English class, for there one found all the savages and Baby Jones who sucked his toothless gums and occasionally gurgled. Only the young ladies seemed capable of reading, writing, and comprehending and even some of them were a bit hazy about Chaucer, having rushed straight from bedroom to classroom. When one chanced to walk about the halls on his way to pose for the amateur photographers gathered about the front door, there was much to hear and see. The genial class President. Micawber Fields Darlington, addressed some juniors thus: Cease to indulge in useless levity, my friends: it is detrimental to your scholarly accomplishment. Pursue your studies with the greatest diligence and allow the seniors to continue their comical behavior. Ho hum, who'd 'a' thought Joe would come to this? Incidentally, we noticed that he wore an especially strong pair of trousers. 58 fr- SENIOR DAY A glance into Mrs. Cameron's room revealed everybody in the arms of Morpheus because that distinguished surgeon. Laurence Currier, deciding to operate at the wrong time, spilled an entire bottle of ether. Then along came a couple of fresh tomatoes and a portly Heinz can which were eventually discovered to be the Haviland gang. Jack Brady was ghosting” about as the Phantom of the Opera, and James Mannino was strolling gracefully along in a blue evening gown. Anne of Green Gables tripped along under no necessity of imagining things. OUTSIDE. A1 Bengtson was the hero of the day to the Washington School brats, who thought he had jumped from the Morro Castle.” At one forty-five there was a general surge toward the auditorium from which came the unmistakable strains of Fare thee well. Annabel. Frank Hardcastle, led the orchestra, attired in his grass skirt and black undies.” and nonchalantly smoked a battered cigar the while he swung his baton. When the last note had crashed forth, immaculate Stan Goodman introduced his suave self and engaged in the serious business of conducting Amateur Night. Joe Darlington, as a twirling Turkish dancer, entranced all with his graceful and moving interpretation of a little drama enacted in a pasha’s garden: Betty Meiss. an accomplished jazz player, tickled the ivories to the entire satisfaction of the enthusiastic audience. Other musicians were the Singing Dudes. Kaiser. Smith, and Seila; the Jug Band: Dave Samson, the harmonica boy: and Paul Van Leuven, whose sinuous snake repelled, yet fascinated. As for dramatics, even Miss Allardice was satisfied with that heart-rending (?) tragedy. The Fatal Quest. in which Janice Haviland. as the King, so emphatically kicked the bucket. Bill Jones and Flazel Kookogey presented a fearfully subtle performance of Of Human Barbarism. A trio of tap dancers also performed. Pearl Hufeld doing solo work and Ursula and Hollis Plinton exhibiting some fine team work. At length the program ended with a performance of a Sioux Indian dance by that incomparable performer. Charles Luce. Following Amateur Night. the senior boys and girls played their annual basketball game, a hilarious affair in which the boys came off victors, 20-18 in spite of small impediments to motion and effectiveness like burlap bags and gloves. At this game Mr. Warren Gockley astounded all with his intimate knowledge of girls' rules. Not having had enough Senior Day. quite a crowd assembled again at nine o’clock and invaded the Echo Lake Country Club where a Hi-Y dance held forth far. far into the night. And so to bed. convinced that this was the merriest day of all, went the Senior Class, tired and happy. --• •{59 SENIOR DAY FAVORITES 60J - GUESS AGAIN CLASS WILL We the Class of 1935, being full of malice and charity toward none, and unbelievably sound of wind and limb, do on this twenty-fourth day of April in the year of Mr, Foose's elevation to the assistant principalship make this our last will and testament.

AAA 70 (; - ORGANIZATIONS THE WEATHER VANE BOARD • Gazing in interested admiration upon Edith Egbert, editor-in-chief, who holds in her hand a prize-winning issue, is the staff of our school magazine. The Weather Vane.” a publication with a notable past and. we trust, a brilliant future. This year, after the annual subscription drive of which a feature was a play written by Janet Payne, associate editor, the staff settled down to brightening up content and selling candy. In March various interesting lectures at the annual convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association were attended by Edith Egbert. Jane Saunders. Robert Brown, and our adviser, Miss Bordner. The magazine, as usual, was awarded a first place, while our adviser received the Golden Key. an honor conferred upon six outstanding advisers. The climax to a year of profitable activity was a tea at Miss Bordner's home at which Mr. MacKinlay Kantor. author of Long Remember and Turkey in the Straw. was the guest of honor. Mr. Kantor sat at bay” and answered the questions of bolder staff members. Charles Luce entertained with his inimitable Indian dancing. Among the guests were five junior high school students who expect to work with next year's staff.

Neubauer LIBRARY COUNCIL • The Library Council can be rightfully classified as one of the most valuable and active clubs in our high school. Its purpose is to increase and stimulate the interest of students in library work so that they may wish to continue this work as a profession. The membership is open to anyone who is willing to devote two periods � week to work in the library. Instructions regarding the clipping of magazines and newspapers, classification of books, charging books, and numerous other important duties, are ably supervised by the sponsor and librarian. Miss Alice M. Bible. As a member of the State Association of Library Councils, the Council attended the spring meeting at Englewood, which proved of great interest, especially since it was held in the beautiful Dwight Morrow High School. Besides daily work in the library, the members indulge in various social activities. They sponsor annually a faculty tea given in the library, while during the night of the Community Fair, the library workshop was transformed into an Oriental tea garden with council members in Chinese costumes as waitresses. The officers are President. Grace Paulin; Secretary, Doris McWhiney; and Treasurer, Virginia Cornellier. 74 ); - THE CHESS CLUB • The newest and. in the opinion of some twenty students, the most interesting club in the school is the Chess Club. Organized and coached by M. Gaston B. Gesner, one of our French teachers, the club has made great progress in its goal of teaching Westfield High School students to play better chess. The members have to date run off two matches with Thomas Jefferson High School in Elizabeth: the first was lost by one game and the second was a draw. To the casual visitor, the monthly meetings of the Chess Club would not be very interesting. After a short business meeting the local brain trusters settle down to the serious movements involved in opening and defense Save for an occasional check or j'adoube there isn't a sound to be heard. Although the members still find themselves slightly baffled by the complexities of the Queen's Gambit or the King's Knight's Opening. they have improved their games vastly since the beginning of the year. The club is anxious to have more members join next year as an extensive plan of training and matches is being considered. THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY • Scattered among the fair librarians on the opposite page may be found the ardent delvers into the past who are shepherded by the affable Mr. Thompson. They are proud to be the first high school organization admitted to the New Jersey State Archaeological Society as a subsidiary member and have acquired a good general knowledge of the New Jersey Indian through attending meetings and participating in discussions. The primary object of this group is to foster in its members a sense of appreciation for the work of the American Indian and to enable them to preserve, for future generations, the existing relics of today. To this end. contacts with local authorities are sought. Two valued friends of the Society are Colonel Leigh M. Pearsall, whose wigwam on West Broad Street houses what is reputed to be the largest private collection in the world, and Mr. Charles A. Philhower, who is nationally famous as a collector of Indian relics and has written much on the subject. The Archaeological Society has enjoyed an interesting year under the leadership of the following officers: Thomas H. Ayling, president: Edmund Reichard. vice-president: and Glen De Puy. secretary-treasurer. - { 75 LE QUARTIER LATIN • The familiar strains of Allouette, Les Canards, or the like floating through the halls announce a meeting of the popular Quartier Latin, or the French Club. The popularity of this club (it numbers approximately one hundred and twenty members) is due, doubtless, to the varied program its sponsors. Miss Gertrude E. Foutz and Mr. Gaston B. Gesner, have planned with the assistance of Marius Stavros. president; Barbara Newman, vice-president; Dorothy Lamberton, secretary: Dorothy Cupitt, assistant secretary: Charles Warren, treasurer: and Mary Alice Thomas, assistant treasurer. In addition to the actual business meeting, always conducted in French, there is an added feature in the form of a short play, a vocal solo, a French spelling game, or a talk in French by an outside speaker. Last year the club was splendidly entertained by a Punch and Judy show, Giugnol.” despite the fact that a number of members occasionally found a bit of difficulty in understanding all that was said. The activities of Le Quartier Latin are climaxed each year by a trip to New York where the members attend a French movie, visit a French liner, and dine at a French restaurant. 76 }. - THE GERMAN DEPARTMENT • Although German is by no means an easy subject, it is one of the most popular subjects in the school. The most outstanding feature of the year is German Evening or dcr detusche Abend. held during the spring. Weeks previous to this occasion, the school may notice energetic pupils preparing for this gala affair of skits, peasant dances, band music, and folk songs. Even before this the vivacious Fraulein Dodds may be seen rushing about in an at tempt to meet her proteges to discuss plans. The week previous to the Night of Nights is a chaos for those participating who doubt the outcome of their strenuous work: but when the appointed hour arrives, it is always a grand success. But don't think der deutsche Abend” is the only activity of the German Department. Anyone who has been present at numerous parties given periodically throughout the year knows how active the department is. Who will forget the worried expression of those learning poems for the Rutgers contest ... or forget the four beautiful books borne home as a result of that worrying? Miss Dodds is the instructor to be commended for the great interest she has created among her students. EL ATENEO • Presten atencion is heard to ring forth in the sonorous tones of Robert Brown, president, vainly endeavoring to restore quiet to his restive charges: the Spanish Club meeting is under way. Visitors find there a group of students, the cream of the Spanish classes, conversing enthusiastically in Spanish. If it is the Christmas meeting, one notes a strange object dangling pretentiously from the ceiling. It is la pinata, a huge paper doll filled with goodies, which is used in a favorite game of the Mexican children. The most outstanding event of the year and perhaps the most interesting to the members of the club is the annual trip to New York. On this trip the club visits the Hispanic museum, lunches in a Spanish restaurant, and attends a Spanish movie or play. This year on March 2 the club gave an exhibition of a Spanish village at the Community Fair. President Brown has been ably assisted by Ingrid Oestnaes, secretary: Ann Oliver, vice-president: and Dorothy Reydel. treasurer. Miss Stella Hemphill and Miss Dama Hill acted as the club advisers. 78 } - THE LATIN CLUB • If a person wants humor or education, levity or gravity, he joints the Latin Club. One of the most interesting features of the year was the presentation of Atalanta's Last Race. rendered in an ultra-modern version. If upon entering the Latin Club in the midst of one of its meetings one feels that one is being shouted at. fear not. but rather continue bravely on and take a chair, for it is probably just another one of the Latin Club's heated debates. Although plays, dialogues, monologues, and other forms of entertainment are prevalent, the debates claim the foreground, for the amount of work compiling and rendering statistics far surpassed that of other programs. The offices are held by consuls, quaestors, aediles. and a scriptor. These correspond to our standard officers, president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary respectively, and are held by Oliver Havens. Mary-Alice Thomas. Donna Lou Butcher, and Janet High. The programs are varied and most entertaining and no matter what the day holds or who the actors are. the audience is assured of forty minutes of enjoyable entertainment which gives one an entirely new aspect of Latin and history. -4 79 SLIDE RULE CLUB • Think of going to a class once a month to learn how to avoid doing work! Sounds easy, doesn't it.' Well, that's exactly what those loyal devotees of the slide rule do the first Thursday in every month. For a short time, they listen to the genial and learned Mr. Johnson explain the technique of sliding the rule, and then they go ahead and extract square root by simply moving a piece of glass over two numbers. For those who intend to study engineering in college, the slide rule is unequaled for quick mathematical computations. Since our high school is the only one in the State which has such a club, many former Slide Rule Club students have returned to tell of the advantage they have received from their experience with the slide rule. Up above the blackboard in 313 is the pride and joy of every slide-rule user. It is the massive six foot slide rule which the club owns. This is used in instructing beginners in the mysterious art of squaring three and getting nine with a “slip stick. The officers are Robert Heps, president, and William Tice, secretary-treasurer. THE CATALYST CLUB • Entering the Chemistry lecture room the other day, we saw a most amazing sight. There on the table lay a perfectly good felt hat being ruthlessly destroyed by hungry flames which practically enveloped it. But something was wrong! All of Satan's torture couldn't seem to damage it, and much to our complete astonishment the fire suddenly subsided and left before our very eyes a perfectly whole, unscorched topper What kind of magic was this? Magic? Not a bit of it! We were merely enjoying a truly absorbing meeting of the Catalyst Club. Of course this student demonstration type of program isn't the only activity of the club, for there is a well-balanced diet of varied programs. Under the able direction of the most versatile adviser. Mr. Johnson, educational field trips to chemical plants are planned, and speakers who are authorities on different phases of chemistry are invited in. Besides this, keeping up with the latest chemical discoveries is also a project of interest. The officers of the club are President. Laurence Currier: Vice-President. Phyllis Green: Secretary. Ruth Colesworthy; and Treasurer. Edward Derge - H 81 JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL • The Junior Red Cross Council is the only club which is entirely honorary; that is, the members are chosen by invitation. Those students invited represent all the extra curricula activities of the school. The Art Club, musical and language clubs, also organizations, publications, dramatics, and athletics are represented. This plan of organization helps to build up a well-rounded and prominent club. After its organization, the council realizes the difficult tasks assigned and sets about performing them. The orginal purpose of organization for the Junior Red Cross was to take care of the service work of the school and to accomplish the Senior chapter work after graduation. The annual drive for membership. Thanksgiving donation day for the Children's Country Home, and various contributions of food, clothing, and fuel for needy families are the accomplishments and work of the Junior Red Cross. There is also a program for International Correspondence, in which portfolios are prepared, explaining the activities of our school to foreign schools. This year, the Council chose Betty Gregory as their delegate to the Conference in Washington, D. C. The officers are President. Edith Egbert: Vice-President. Frank Feeley; Secretary. Betty Gregory; Treasurer. Paul Van Leuven. THE COLLECTORS CLUB • On account of the rapid growth of collecting the Collectors Club has been very popular during the last year. The object of this organization is to further the interests of the members in their hobbies and to show them what others collect. Everything from stamp to curio collecting is engaged in by the hobby riders of this club. The wide range of hobbies in the club was revealed at the exhibit held during the Community Fair, when postcards, pictures, minerals, china, cameos, stamps, and coins were shown. In the past year many men noted in their various fields of work have spoken at the meetings. Dr. John Andrews and Mr. William Grove of West-field spoke on various phases of philatelies. Mr. Charles Philhower and Mr. Harold Thompson talked on Indian relics. Several members brought various items from their collections to the meetings. The organization had a very enjoyable evening meeting at the home of Dubois Rossbacher with Dr. Andrews as guest speaker. The club, whose officers are John Selvig. president; Alexander Parsons, vice-president: Ida May Harms, secretary: and Richard Stearn. treasurer, meets on the second Tuesday of each month in 113 under the able direction of Miss Olive Hammell. -■� ;( 83 THE ART CLUB • When the Art Club gets together every Friday afternoon, the gathering can scarcely be called a meeting in the general sense of the term. Except for very rare occasions there is no business: so the members may take up their various types of work without delay. In the picture below we see Blanche Roeg continuing her apprenticeship as an artists' model, while some of our painters in oils try to capture her girlish charm. For two years she has adorned our club picture. Portraits are among our more ambitious projects, and good models are a great help. Besides actual work in some artistic medium, the club members enjoy interesting talks by men and women connected with the art world. One of the most interesting talks this year was one on lithography by Mr. Roger Stephens, father of one of our prominent seniors. One of our members, Jane Finck. was awarded the P. T. A. prize for the best work of the year. Jane's water colors of Cape Cod scenes were particularly charming. This year’s officers are President. Jane Finck: Vice-President. Mary Alice Thomas: Secretary. Dubois Rossbacher: and Treasurer, Dorothy Vaiden. 84 )S- THE STAGECRAFT CLUB • The members of the Stagecraft Club spend much of their time in making use of their talent to plan small stage sets to scale in order to create the elaborate sets which have contributed to the effectiveness of this year's dramatic produc tions. Our public has always admired the scenery which serves as a background for our senior and holiday plays. This year the club members have designed fifteen stage sets for use in the Christmas, Faster. Senior, and Mask and Mime plays and the Music Festival. Many of these sets were exhibited in the spring exhibition of high-school arts and crafts, and Kenneth Mapes was awarded a prize for his scale model scene of Babes in Toyland. After the clever designers experiment with small scale sets to create the most effective scenes, the selected sets are built with the aid of school carpenters and are then painted by the club members. The designing and painting are supervised by Miss Howard. The members come from the stagecraft, art. and dramatic classes supervised by Miss Howard and Miss AI lardice. Among them are Albert Bengston. Jr., who serves as chairman, and Shirley Wood. Nancy Pomeroy. Kenneth Wood, and Kenneth Mapes. - H 85 LITERARY CLUB • Dim lights, deep easy chairs, a bright cackling fire, and a good book— what could be a more appropriate setting for the monthly meetings of the Literary Club? The club, numbering about twenty-five members, is sponsored by Mr. Robert Loose and Miss Lois Kelly with William Jones as chairman and Caroline Stephens as secretary-treasurer. The theme of the past year has been in general Southern literature— modern and classic. At each meeting, reports were given on such works as “John Brown's Body” by Stephen Vincent Benet: Lamb in His Bosom.” by Caroline Miller; Good-bye. Mr. Chips.” by James Hilton, and the works of Cabell and Cable. Before the meeting, each member reads the book which is to be discussed at that time so that after the reports have been given an informal discussion of the book may be held. Intelligent criticism and favorable comments are then expressed. Many excellent papers have been presented. Following this is a social hour during which refreshments arc served, and one leaves the meeting with a feeling that the time has been profitably as well as enjoyably spent. THE TYPING CLUB • The Typing Club, which was organized to do the typing for other clubs, has developed in two directions this year. One group gives one period a week to typing whatever comes in. Class and club notes, stories for the Weather Vane and the Hi's Eye. review questions for the teachers, programs for high school affairs, cards for filing, addresses on envelopes, etc., are typed by these students. The members of the second group report regularly to assigned teachers and do for them anything which may be expected of a secretary Most of this group are shorthand writers and they gain valuable experience in taking dictation. Eight teachers have availed themselves of this service. Several members of the Typing Club deserve special commendation for arduous labor on the yearbook. Shirley Gault, chairman, and Dorothy Schaefer, her principal assistant, gave many hours to this work during their Easter vacation and took quantities of copy home every week-end. As they proved particularly faithful and efficient, they should have the gratitude of the entire senior class. As any student who knows how to type and enjoys typing may belong to this club, all classes are represented. Miss Mary E. Colley is the capable adviser. HIGH SCHOOL BAND • Below we see the well-planned photograph of Westfield's High School Band. Director William H. Warner, who chose the picturesque setting, squints in the background. Recently the band received the highest rating given for bands in its class at the State Contest held in New Brunswick. This highly superior” rating is the highest honor ever received by a band from Westfield. Because the band has been in the limelight all year, it should be able to face the sun. In fact, after a contest in which it played two difficult numbers before a large audience and under the shrewd eyes of three famous judges who marked down faults with deliberate pencils, the band members should be able to face anything. The State Contest followed a busy year of performances at football games, concerts. Parent-Teacher Association meetings, and the Music Festival. It is impossible not to comment on the spirit of the members of this band, a spirit which is responsible for the success of our youngest musical group. The organization is perfect: everything is done when it should be done: and there is never any dissension within the group. With such harmony nothing but success is to be expected. 88 THE ORCHESTRA • Under the excellent direction of Miss Ingalls the orchestra has grown to a balanced organization of over forty members. Under her musicianship and artistic and traditional interpretation, it has become well known as an orchestra of superior rating in the State contests held every year. It has but to continue its sensitive interpretations, and its future is assured. It is always gratifying to remember that while the orchestra affords the student an opportunity to express himself musically, in addition to giving him an emotional outlet, it also performs a very real service to the rest of the school. Chief among the school activities are the many monthly club meetings, the assembly programs, the Parent-Teacher monthly meetings, the Christmas and Easter presentation, and other occasions of equal importance. The orchestra furnishes many of our other musical activities with soloists and ensembles. This year our string quartet is not only entering the State contest for ensembles, but has also been invited to play at many of the organizations in Westfield. Notable among the orchestra's works this year was the presentation of a Mendelssohn concerto with Marion Lackas as soloist. -4 89 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB • When anyone hears peculiar sounds of mi, mi. mi, or bou. bou wou. floating through the high school, one can be assured that the Girls’ Glee Club is practicing vocalises. Although the queer noises may disconcert Westfield High students, these exercises are the tools with which the Glee Club improves quality of tone, breathing, and pronunciation. This year the club through the director, Miss Ingalls, has enlarged the song repertoire by the study and singing of the best classical songs, among which are Schubert’s Serenade. and Mendelssohn's I Waited for the Lord and Lift Thine Eyes. Always in singing these songs, special emphasis has been laid on tone production, interpretation, and breathing which results in a fine conception, appreciation, and love of music. The Glee Club has entertained at several P. T. A. meetings and assembly programs, besides participating in the Christmas service as a vested choir. The major event of the year is the Spring Music Festival. This year two dances from the Nut Cracker Suite of Tschaikowsky were presented in costume with musical accompaniment of the Glee Club. The officers were Berenice Miller, chairman: Barbara Newman, secretary: Grace Paulin and Ruth Rinker. librarians 90 } - MASK AND MIME CLUB • One of the largest and most active of the extra curricula organizations in school is the Mask and Mime Club. Meeting once a month, it presents throughout the year an amazingly varied program of one-act and full length plays, monologues, character and impromptu sketches, and pantomimes. The Mask and Mime does not operate as an isolated dramatic society, uncorrelated with other activities, but is one which aids in many ways practically every theatrical production during the school year. From its enrollment come the majority of the players in the holiday and senior plays. Members of the stage, lighting, property, and costume committees are always ready and willing to help in entertainments sponsored by other organizations. The club not only interprets and presents dramas, but studies and enjoys them as well. This year theater parties went to New York to see two major attractions of the season: Hamlet. in which Walter Hampden starred, and The Green Pastures. Among the several productions of the club itself were Launcelot and Elaine. a version of the King Arthur legend, in the fall, and Barter. the dramatic Easter play. -■ 4 91 THE FORUM • The Forum program for 1934-35 showed an interest in various school economic, and political problems. Forums were held weekly during the first semester on questions of crime prevention submitted by the members. Visiting speakers whose experience marked them as authorities on numerous phases of these questions, were engaged to present their views. Following these constructive talks the students conducted open discussions. After these sessions the program committee arranged several interesting trips to visit courts and prisons within the County. Legislative measures in the State aroused the interest of teachers and students who responded to the timely opportunity of presenting a panel discussion for the January meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association of the question. Should the people in New Jersey demand that the tax basis be broadened in order to insure a minimum program of public school education for the boys and girls of the State? Other proposals before the Legislature led the students to send letters to senators and assemblymen of the County urging them to support the Governor's Tax Program. Leisure time activities of the school and community were discussed under the leadership of the officers. Robert Hahn, president; Roger Dixon, vice-president; and Irene Nelson, secretary-treasurer. 92 }■ - THE DEBATE CLUB • Bringing home the bacon ' has become a habit with the debate team for the season was successfully opened when Westfield's negative team won from Irvington in a debate on the important question of Federal Aid for Education. Again in December other versatile debaters faced Belleville's negative on the same question and came out victorious. The month of February held an unusual surprise for the Debate Club. The Northern New Jersey Debate League conducted a radio debate over station W. N. E. W. on the question. Resolved: that the tax burden upon New Jersey real estate be lightened by a state wide sales tax. Westfield's negative team in competition with East Orange's affirmative team was declared the winner by a popular radio vote. Our debaters were Wynne Handy and Stanford Goodman. Other debates were held with Somerville, South Side of Newark, and Weequahic of Newark to keep our teams in good condition for the ever-popular Triangle debates which consist of teams representing Morristown. Plainfield, and Westfield. The last match was a dual meet with North Plainfield teams early in May. The Debate Club is a member of the Northern New Jersey League, which sponsors the most modern methods of argumentation. 93 THE HOLIDAY PLAYS • Scenes of the nativity, in the form of five tableaux, provided the background for the annual Christmas service which was presented by the students of the Westfield High School. The school auditorium was transformed by the cathedral like setting which was provided for the Christmas music and the Biblical story retold in the scenes of The Madonna and The Angel. The Angel and The Shepherds, l he Shepherds Watching. The Holy Family, and The Adoration. The vested choir with lighted candles lent the final touch necessary to the effect of a medieval church with its picturesque Christmas service. The processional sung by the choir was the beautiful and dignified O Come All Ye Faithful.'' The opening tableau was accompanied by Matthews' noted Christmas selection. The Angel Sped on Wings of Light. A special ensemble composed of selected members of the High School orchestra provided the musical selection for the second tableau, while The Shepherds Watching was accompanied by the choir singing The First Noel. A special two part arrangement of Liza Lehmann's No Candle and No Fire was sung in conjunction with the presentation of the fourth tableau Richard Van den Bergh and the choir provided the musical setting for the final tableau, including the shepherds, the Wise Men and the Holy Family, in the form of There's a Song in the Air by Oley Speaks. The recessional was Hark, the Herald Angels Sing. Richard Van den Bergh pronounced the benediction in his solo, Peace I Leave with You.” 94 );♦ - THE HOLIDAY PLAYS Urban Nagle’s Barter.'' the Drama League prize-winning play for 1920. was presented by the Mask and Mime Club this year as its annual Easter offering. The play deals with the twenty-four hours preceding the Crucifixion and is one of the finest religious plays for amateurs. The main figures of the play are Judas Iscariot, who was responsible for the betrayal; Miriam, the daughter of the old Jew. Jobal; Phanuel. a Jewish officer who sought the hand of Miriam in marriage; Rhea, the scheming and selfish young wife of Jobal; Varrus. the Roman leader who was in love with the beautiful Jewess. Miriam: Mary of Magdala: Oreb. servant boy to Varrus; and the little blind Jewish girl, Esther. The story tells how Rhea conspires to have Varrus effect the capture of Christ: but Pilate, suspecting Varrus of treason, has him thrown in prison. Miriam who, through Mary of Magdala. has come to know and revere Christ, hopes that Varrus will intercede with Pilate in her cause. When she sees that Varrus is in prison, her heart breaks at the thought that Christ will be crucified and neither she nor Varrus can do anything to prevent it. The dramatic climax approaches swiftly with Miriam's tragic death, but she believes that the restoration of Esther's sight was a sign from Christ that he had forgiven her, and her last few minutes of this life are spent in a peaceful state of mind. With its remarkable dramatic intensity and moving story, this fine play held the attention of the students throughout, and is memorable also on account of the brilliant performance of Martin Kestenbaum as Jobal. a powerful member of the Sanhedrin: Ruth Winter as Miriam, his daughter: Lydia MacDonald as Rhea, his wife; Harold Carlton as Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ: and the winsome little Sally Marks, who captivated the audience in the role of the little blind girl. ▲ - ♦;{ 95 POST GRADUATE CLUB • Following the example set by last year's post graduates, the present group has evaded all attempts at organization. On those rare occasions when all are in attendance, the group numbers fifteen. This exclusive group boasts such renowned male members as Struble and Mahanke, master musicians: McElroy and Parrington, future admirals. Walcott, the scientist: Benson, the journalist: Mayo, our Casanova: Slocum, the cartoonist: and Just Plain Bill Galligan. The young ladies make up for what they lack in numbers in charm. We shall remember that Southern drawl which characterized Ruth Knee, the blonde stateliness of Katherine Kuck and Leonora Evans, the vim and vivacity of Josephine Furness, the prettiness of Mary Shorts, and the enviable scholarship of Flortense Thompson. They all brightened the gloom of Room 300. All sorts of parlor athletics were participated in during home room periods. Penny matching contests were promoted and generally won by Strubie and Mahanke, while Blackjack” was a favorite with others. The girls inclined toward the gentle pastime of study. Although their tardy record has left Mr. Neubauer very little to brag about, the P. G.'s arc all very grateful to him for letting them return and take part in the student activities for another year. S PORTS CHEER LEADERS • Football is generally considered the most interesting and popular sport of the year, as far as the spectators are concerned, but is it all just the game? No one can deny that the cheer leaders play a large part in luring the crowd, or that watching a football game wouldn't be the same without the color and excitement of the band and cheer leaders. The cheer squad this year, under the supervision of Miss Swift, has worked doubly hard to organize and improve Westfield cheering, and there is no doubt about the result—success. Instead of electing one captain for the entire year as has usually been the custom, the members of the squad each had a chance to show his ability in this position, and all proved themselves equally capable. Besides their indispensable work during the football season, they also did their part at the basketball games with just as much pep and enthusiasm This able and cooperative group of leaders is made up of the following headliners: Berenice Miller. Ruth Colesworthy, Dot Reydel. Ervanna Cum- mings. Marjorie Jones, Martin Kestenbaum. Martin Sargent. Bob Seila. and Harry Peterson. 98 FOOTBALL • In spite of the uncertain outlook for the 1934 football season, owing to the graduation of all backfield veterans except Triano, the Blue and White football team compiled an excellent record, scoring victories over Millburn. North Plainfield. Roselle. Bound Brook, Plainfield, and Nyack. suffering defeats from West Orange and Summit, and tying Columbia. This team produced a more spectacular and open type of football than previous Westfield teams. The forward pass was the chief offensive weapon: and with Kaiser throwing and Luce. Walker. Goodfriend, Kennedy, and Di Fransisco receiving. Westfield became noted for its aerial game. From the green material. Coach Duncan produced a well-balanced, fast backfield comprised of Kaiser, Kennedy, Di Francisco, and Selvig. This quartet held its own with the highly-vaunted, experienced line, and the team was well-balanced. offensively and defensively. The season's outstanding games were the thrilling Roselle and Plainfield affairs: the most brilliant player was Captain Becker, a tower of strength on the line, who received all-state mention. The coaching staff, consisting of Coaches Duncan. Faust, Gockley, Goodrich, and Meeker, is to be commended’ for its fine job this year. -• •( 99 BASKETBALL • The basketball team of 1915 emerged from the season with quite a record The boys got off on the wrong foot at the beginning, but as the season progressed, the team progressed likewise. The second place taken at the State Tournament at Lafayette College showed what a smooth-running state of perfection the boys reached by the end of the season. The season began with defeat. Then, after being nosed out by the Alumni and Somerville and being trounced by Union, the Blue and White gained its first victory at the expense of Scotch Plains. Among other teams defeated were Boonton. Millburn. and Columbia, while there was a spectacular 32-24 victory over a powerful Union quintet, which made the team feel better. Scotch Plains and Columbia were twice defeated. The Westfield quintet lost games to Millburn. Boonton. South Side Newark. Bound Brook, Carteret, and Madison. Kennedy, Captain Luce, and Scila led in scoring. While two of these men graduate. Kennedy, who scored 129 points, remains. Coach Gockley expects to turn out a very good team next year, for this year's junior varsity has impressed the fans with the fine type of basketball it displayed. lOOfc - TRACK • Although handicapped by a lack of veterans, the 1935 track team upheld Westfield's high standard as a leading track power in Northern New Jersey. After placing third in the Newark Sunday Call Meet, second in the light weight division, and third in the heavy weight division at the Union County Championship. the indoor team finished the season by tying Union's powerful array for first honors at the Seton Hall Meet. The outdoor season opened with Westfield showing its fine possibilities by defeating Thomas Jefferson of Elizabeth in a dual meet and by losing a close one to Columbia which in all probability we would have won if the team had been at its full strength. This year. Coach Duncan sent a medley, a two mile, and a mile team to the Penn Relays. Although the first two did not place, the mile relay team took a well-earned second in the event. Among those boys who were consistent point winners were Griggs Smith in the 440. Horner in the mile. McCoy in the sprints. Frank Feeley in the high jump, and George Becker in the weights. -4 ioi SWIMMING TEAM • The Swimming team, coached by Walter Pattee and Herbert F. Randolph, closed its second season with two victories against seven defeats. This is a successful record considering the inexperienced men on the team and the opposition they had to face. The team won a decisive victory over the Hun School of Princeton despite the presence of A1 Vande Weghl, world champion backstrokcr. We also downed Bloomfield with a score of 32-21. Rahway just nosed out the Blue and Whites with a score of 38-37 and Thomas Jefferson of Elizabeth won by a margin of 44-30. Among the main-stays of the team were Captain Carl Filsinger who performed splendidly in the 100 yard and 40 yard free-style events and Brion Winship who won eight first places and was high scorer for the team. Bill Scott, our 200 yard free style man. was second high scorer, having won all first places except two. The 120 yard medley team consisting of Brion Winship. back stroke: Henry Harley, breast stroke: and Bill Scott, free-style. has never tasted defeat during the team's two years of existence. Irvine Johnstone was the manager of this year’s team. 102)i - TENNIS • With one dependable letter-man. Franklin llardcastle, left as a nucleus for the 1935 tennis team and with Andrew Moe Hendrickson as coach instead of tMr. Adams, former mentor, the tennis season opened with a surprising but welcome bang. for there was a remarkable turnout of twenty-three candidates. The results of a two day boiling down of this aggregation was the formation of an extremely strong team. The boys who fought their way to the top were Frank Hardcastle. Bill Sims. Charles Warren, and Howard Dietz. In spite of the team's inexperience an opening victory over Pingry gave promise of a very good season. This was partly fulfilled when a slightly enlarged team traveled to Blairstown. N. J.. to overwhelm Blair Academy 6-3. While at Blair the Westfield team, after defeating its hosts, was treated first to a swim and then to a dinner. Mr. Bowser, who accompanied the boys as faculty adviser, proved a good mixer. It is truly astonishing how different the austere teachers are when out of the impressive shadow of Alma Mater. With two important victories on the score-board the tennis team has the highest hopes for an undefeated season. 103 GOLF • The 1935 Divot-Diggers.” under the direction of Coaches Johnson and Allen, got off to a flying start by defeating Thomas Jefferson 7 - . They tost a hard decision to Millburn 7-11 and then took two from Scotch Plains and Linden. Although the season is little more than started, it has been well started. The team has received the support of the best country clubs of this vicinity. Echo Lake. Locust Grove, Sbackamaxon. and Oak Ridge having donated the use of their courses. This year. Locust Grove will be the scene of the State Championship, in which Coach Johnson will enter a four-man team. Three letter-men. Captain Bobby Wilkinson. Ed Fogarty, and Tony Urciuoli are holding down key positions on the team, while seven others. Tony Ferro. Tony Triano. Frank Kennedy, Joe Havens. Henry Ricardo. Clifton Beardslee. and Tom Hastings are struggling for the remaining three places This keen competition within the ranks of the team is as important in winning matches as individual ability. The outlook, therefore, of the 1935 golf team is more brilliant than ever before, and it will be no surprise if a State Championship and a season campaign including only one defeat, result. BASEBALL • In spite of the bright outlook for the 1935 baseball season, the Blue and White has gotten off to its customary poor start, dropping the first three games, all on foreign soil. However, the team has not lost confidence and expects to start a winning spree as it opens its home season against Plainfield. The weaknesses this year include poor fielding as well as lack of offensive power, but the whole team feels that these faults will be remedied when the line-up becomes settled. The shifting of players has worked havoc with the consistent, steady playing necessary for a winning ball club. Westfield has a potentially powerful team in all departments, including the important factor of pitching which has been weak of late years. A well-balanced infield and outfield combined with strong batteries ordinarily comprise winning ball teams Westfield, who possesses these assets, is certain to prove no exception: and as soon as a regular combination is decided upon, the local nine should provide lots of trouble for its opponents. So. keep your eyes on this year's baseball team, which, incidentally, is captained by Dan Goodfriend and coached by Mr. C. Blair Rogers. ■4 105 G. A. C. • The Girl's Athletic Committee, made up of the girls representing their home rooms in the Athletic Association, has this year become one of the important bodies of the school. Organized last year under the leadership of Miss Swift, the committee has gradually built up and enlarged its field of work and activity until now it handles practically all of the business concerning girls’ athletics. Originally it met merely to discuss and pass judgment on certain problems brought up by the girls but this year it has sponsored many social activities, perhaps the most enjoyed and best remembered being the Girls' Athletic Dinner, with the mothers and women faculty members as honored guests. Every Thursday during the third period, this worthy committee holds its weekly confab under the chairmanship of Eleanor Roloff, with Betty Darlington busily taking notes as the efficient secretary and Dot Glcim standing by as vice-chairman. Because of all these beneficial activities and good times, it is the hope and desire of every senior member that this work be carried on even more successfully in the years to come. 1 06 MANAGERS OF SPORTS • The managers of the various girls' sports have perhaps the hardest work to do during a season's activities, since it is their particular duty to take care of all equipment, arrange game schedules and sports days, and take care of any other little problem which may present itself. The tennis and lenniquoi! managers have the added responsibility of running off a tournament, while the stretcher and the first aid kit keep the hockey and soccer managers busy, although there has scarcely ever been any need for them, much to the disappointment of the above-mentioned managers. The managers of the several sports are Hockey. Barbara Newman: Soccer. Eleanor Buell: Basketball. Madi Winkler: Stunts. Mary Alice Thomas: Apparatus. Irene Nelson; Volley Ball. Dot Cameron; Baseball. Jeannette Cubberly: Tennis, Betty Gregory: Tenniquoit. Barbara Lyman. Although captains of the various teams haven't quite as much work as the managers, they deserve just as much credit. Their hardest duty is choosing their respective teams from among the many candidates who take part in practices, and one can see by the keen competition displayed in the class game' that they succeeded. -4 107 HOCKEY • Hockey this year was one of the most popular of the sports, as was shown by the large attendance of sophomores, juniors, and seniors at practices. After about four weeks of limbering up. the girls who participated in at least half of the practices were chosen for class teams with the approval of Miss Swift. The manager and class captains chosen at the beginning of the season were Manager, Barbara Newman: Senior Captain, Irene Nelson: Junior Captain, Eleanor Buell: Sophomore Captain, Irene Diefenbach. The interclass championship was decided between the juniors and seniors, since the juniors had overcome the sophomores in a previous game. After a very tense and exciting period of play, the seniors finally broke through to win by the score of 3-2. The members of the victorious senior team are Ruth Colcsworthy, Jean Feltenberger. Dot Gleim, Virginia Kirk, Winnie La Crosse, Dot Lambcrton. Florence Mac Lay, Berenice Miller, Irene Nelson. Bobby Newman, Eleanor Roloff. Dot Schaefer. Florine Walworth, Mary Wiggins, and Madi Winkler. Another interesting event during the hockey with Summit when Summit and Westfield met hockey sticks. season was the Sports Day to match their skill with 1 08 )• AWARD GIRLS • The girls' awards, including the large W, the class numerals, and the small W, are much coveted and proudly worn by the girls interested in athletics. According to the girls' point system (which, by the way. is very efficient) 300 points entitle a girl to the large W: 200 points, to the numerals; and 100 points, to the small W. As there are only thirteen girls in the entire school who have earned their large W. one can see that it's no easy matter to win 300 points. The thirteen lucky girls are Dot Gleim. Florence Mac Lay, Bobby Newman. Mary Wiggins. Madi Winkler. Eleanor Roloff. Dot Schaefer. Irene Nelson, Jeanette Cubberly, Marjorie Jones. Mary-Alice Thomas. Jean Hastorf, Eleanor Buell. The four 200 pointers are Ruth Colesworthy. Florine Walworth. Katherine Wick and Betty Gregory.

I am a new settler, having been here only a month, and find the time hangs heavily on my hands. I resolve to go for the mail. The nearest post office. Cleveland. Ohio, is five hundred miles away. Saddling my Indian pony Punchdrunk. I start off in high spirits. Perhaps there is a letter from home. Maybe the new seed catalogue has arrived. I wonder whether the returns on that chain letter have come in yet. I spur my pony on. Punchdrunk'' has his second wind now. and we have passed the three hundred mile mark. Suddenly, out of a clear blue sky, or rather out of the clear green woods, comes a tribe of hostile Indians. They are gaining on me when, strange to say. I have an idea. As we are going through a narrow pass, the Indians following me are riding single file. Levelling my revolver on the nearest redskin. I press the trigger. The bullet passes through fifteen of the aborigines, who promptly bite the dust. Only five of the warriors now follow me. I catch a glimpse of a milestone as I dash by—50 Miles to Cleveland. Punchdrunk suddenly falters, then falls. I realize that he has broken his leg. But there is no time to lose. Bidding him a hasty farewell, I put him out of his misery and take to the road on foot. My training on the track team of the Westfield High School stands me in good stead. I open up a gap between me and the now wearying Indian ponies. I have run for thirty-five or forty miles farther when it suddenly occurs to the Indians, who now follow at quite a distance, to start shooting. Arrows fly thick and fast around me. I feel a sharp pain in my left leg. Looking down, I find an arrow has passed completely through it. My speed is now cut down as I can run only on one leg. I hop on for five miles farther before I fall exhausted. I prop myself up against a tree and wait for the end. The Indians, yelling their savage war whoops, pull up their horses in front of me. One of them who. I suppose, is their chief, draws his bow, fits an arrow to it, and aims directly for my heart. I close my eyes and pray that my death may be a quick one. (What will happen? Look for the thrilling conclusion on next year's College Board Examination.) Jack Sawyer 116 } AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS THE PICTURE’S THE THING Year Books are made to perpetuate pleasant memories, pleasant friendships and to refresh us in after years about those wonderful days. Of course, pictures are the most important element — and in printing they represent the ultimate impression. They should be made as good as the finest craftsmanship will permit. That is the crux of our effort—to serve with sincerity and furnish quality engravings that properly pictures those happy years. PHOTOTYPE ENGRAVING COMPANY, Inc.
