Margaret Anderson Library Council, (2. 3, I); Ger- man Evening (2, 3, I). Though Margaret is mathe- matically minded, she does not want to follow Miss Hewitt's example. In fact, anything but teaching would he agreeable to her. From her keen mind come many clever puns which send her friends into gales of laughter, Margaret’s nimble lingers make intricate crocheted gloves and bags galore.

Wl; Basketball (2, 3, W4); Easter Play (2). The popular editor of our sue cess fill school paper, “The Hi’s Eye , is particularly pleased with his home room, especially with the occupant of the sec- ond scat in the fifth row. Be- ing a versatile youth, Erik was a very important member of the iooLhall team in whose service he even fractured hones. Helen Arbes Finance Committee (4): An filial (4). Helen is one of those very quiet girls, but her friends find her jolly and lull of pep. She is hard-working and diligent and appreciated for her willing attitude. If you find occasion to hum for Helen third period you will undoubtedly find her in the typing room. Her fa- vorite color is green, Helen thoroughly enjoys giggling and besides her school work we hear that she is quite a “Greek” scholar. Harold Anderson Literary Club (4); Football (2. 3. 4): Basketball (4); Track (3); Tennis (4). A star quarterback on the foot- ball B” squad, a dashing player on the basketball court for the J.V.'s. and a wizard in mathematics, is this small fel- low called “Sharpy”, who drives around in a huge Studebaker.

Few organ grinders have had so active and clever a monkey as Bob brought with him on Senior Day. 14 Mildred Backus French Club (3, 1): Latin Club (4); Orchestra (3, 4); Base- ball (4). Mildred lias high ambitions as she is headed for Mount Hoi yoke. With her high marks she certainly ought to succeed. She's an avid student of Vergil and is particularly active in the Latin Club. The orchestra will lose one of its best cellists at her graduation. Though she has been here only two years, she has made many friends. William Bass Football (2, 3, Wl); Track (2, 3. 4). Chief”, the one hundred and twenty-eight pound sack of dynamite, proved his mettle by starring on the gridiron this season. This nifty dancer is one of the few boys who have not succumbed lo the attrac- tions of the fair sex, For any- one who desires to hear Clem entitle” played and sung as it ought to be, we strongly recom- mend “Chief”. Doras Bailey French Club (3, 4); Collectors Club (4); Athletic Associa- tion Council (2); Annual (4). To most of our class “Dome” is practically a stranger, but wc who know her think she’s grand.

Dorrie captures hearts and it is hard to tell whether Princeton or LL of I . leads with her. Doris Beecher Glee Club (4): Literary Club (4): Mask and Mime (4); Finance Committee (4); Mas ketball (4): Hockey (1). Pep, vim, and vigor. That’s Doris. She stepped inside the portals of dear old Westfield High last September feeling :i bit strange, but her come- hither” smile and attractive personality have gained liei many friends. Out' only regret was that she had not conic to Westfield sooner. Priscilla Barnes Art Club (2, 3): F.l A teneo (2); Mask and Mime (I).

Benny is a dm k eyed stu- dious person. Her thoughts and inlerests are confined in just a feu people. She says and does little in the presence of others, but is highly entertaining among her close friends and is as well liked by her teachers as by fellow students. Her main ambition is to drive.

When yon have a mouse in your bed- room. send for Charles who will come with the family bow and arrows to dispatch it, Fred Best Band (2, 3, 4): Orchestra (3, -Ti: Civic Committee (I); Sen- ior Play (4). Fred is a nautical-minded youth w ho owns his own racing crafts, and thoroughly enjoys sailing the blue. During school semesters lie acts as the mam- stay of the band, though wc don’t know just how he man- ages both the horn and Alice Jean at the same time. Daniel Bliwise Baseball {2. 3. 1). Although Dan looks prelcr- naitirallv wise behind those spectacles, those long-lashed blue eyes flash fire when he is engaged in combat with Alvin C.ordts. much to Miss Bordner's tlismav. Dan’s dependability as a baseball pitcher is a big asset to the Leant, for he surely can twirl that ball superbly. As Dan has a penchant for return- ing to Mountainside before school is over, his blue slips keen teachers in a fret. Edith Beyer French Club (2. 3, 4); Latin (2); Mask and Mime (2, 3); Hockey (3): Soccer (3). F.dic” is a staunch Princeton and Pingry rooter and woe be- tide anyone’s saving a word against either of these institit - tiems of learning! She is inter- ested in aviation and dramat- ics, her favorites of the stage being Katharine Cornell, Bur gess Meredith, and Helen Hayes. Wellesley will claim Edith this fall, if all goes well. Mildred Blount French Club f3, I): Mask and Mime 3, 1); Senior Plav Commit tee (1); Annual (4); Physical Education Pageant (3); Red Cross Council (2). “Millie” is the small, dark, pixie type of girl: as peppy as she is tiny. She has a fine sense of humor and loves to laugh. Her small freckled nose is often wrinkled up in hilarious gig- gles. “Millie”, wc hear, is an- other one interested in that unusually popular town of Cr a nforcl. 16 Ernestine Eohl Forum (4): German (2, 3, 4); Red Cross ('2, 3, 4); French Club (2. 3): Weather Vane (2, 3, 4); Prom (3). “Ernie is one of the besL liked girls of I he class of ’36 despite her statute or lack of it!

It has been mooted about that “Bobs lias a de- cided preference tor Scandi- navians. Wilbur Bofjart Photographic Society (4): Fi- nance (3). Wilbur likes to hike, but if a horse is handy, he prefers to ride. “Willie is quite a pho- tographic bug and spends some time at the railroad, hoping to get a picture of the Royal Blue” as she whizzes by. In- cidental! v Wilbur is co-editor of the “Post-.Script , one of the largest amateur periodicals in the country. Carol Bowden French Club r'2. 3.

Senior Play (4); Annual (Ip Carol is either secretary or treasurer of most of the organi- zations to which she belongs and is famous for her untiring capacity for work.

A dele Sons all Every morning, rain or shine, flood or blizzard, Adelc may be seen tripping merrily through the park on her way to school. A dele's ari independent miss who assumes an air of indif ference to conceal a very genu iuc concern for people and things.

Her big moments arc out of town. Winifred Briant Soccer (2); Annual Typist (4). Winnie is the one who always managed to get her book re- ports in on time although she wrote them while they were be- ing collected. She is a lover of variety, even when it comes to her masculine friends. We have noticed that Winnie seems to prefer brunettes in the fall and blondes in the winter. Her friends blame Al for the fact that she is so sleepy on Mon- days. In her checkered dress and hairbows, Winnie made a fetching little girl on Senior Day. Knthe Bredov French Club (2); Literary Chib (3 V Mask and Mime (2, 3); German Evening 2, .3, 4); Civic Committee (3, 1). Having an enjoyable movie critic summarize and advise concerning the latest films dur- ing lunch is highly entertain- ing. Rathe is especially en- thusiastic about Franchot Tone, whose acting she recommends and whose photographs she cherishes. Kalhe is going North next year to Wheaton where she will study to prepare her- self for nursery school work. James Sticker French Club (4); Senior Day (4); Literary Club (4); Mask and Mime (4); Senior IMa (4); Easter Play (4). Jimmy's easy drawl lias won the heart of many a lass and the friendship of many a lad.

Walter Brehiji German Evening (2. 3); Senior Play (4); Athletic Committee (2. 3, 4); Correspondence Committee ( I); Football Man ager (2, 3, Wl); Baseball (2. 3. I). Walter is well known for his vivid accounts of the prowess of A Vest field's eleven. As man ager of football and storekeeper for basketball and swimming, he has been found very depend- able. If he can find no better place for sleeping, he is willing to recline upon the ash can :u the rear of the auditorium. Virginia Brown German Evening (2, 3. 4); Lit era re Club (3, I): Band (2, 3, 4); Orchestra (2, 3, 4); Slide Rule (4): Basketball U, 4). Next to ‘GinnyV scholastic ability her smile is her greatest asset. She is full of life and all winter is an active participant in school sports and a valuable asset to both band and orches- tra. From May to October the Tennis Club, where she plays a fnsL game, is her favorite rec- reation center. 18 Margaret Browne French Club (2. 3); Latin Chib (2. 3); Mask and Mime (2): Academic (4); Annual (4): Soccer (2). “Micky isn't with ns much. Most of her Lime is spent either in actually being at Le- high or else thinking about it. She loves a good time and has no particular yen for educa- tion. She measures her time In the arrivals of the mail man. Dorm a Lou Butcher Literary Club 3. President I) Collectors’ Chib (4); Latin (2, Treasurer 3); Prom (3); Finance (4). From the regularity of her Iowa State and Cornell cor- respondence, we'd conclude that our Senior Day snake-charmer had charmed some college men. We don't have to guess, t hough, that even while Boo-Boo drives her own Pontiac, she pie fers a sportv red and green Ford and its owner. Carlyle Bncksird German Evening 2, 3); Foot- ball (2, 3); Athletic Com. (2). '“Buck’’ is shv. tall, and hand- some. and has that subtle power which draws the girls, but lie tails to reciprocate their atten- tions.. Buck 's “ chief extra- curricular activity is driving around town in his car. He is very good company, being a good talker among friends. Gwendolyn Byrd Spanish Club (2); Basketball (2): Hockey (2): Soccer (4). Gwendolyn is another of out versatile Seniors, She's active In hockey, basketball and is n past master in the art of trucking. She's a good sport and can take a joke as well as give one. Gwen hopes to major in lan- guages and all signs point to her future success. Frances Burrill Typing Club (4); Annual Typ- ist (I). Typing seems to be the Favorite early morning occupation for Frances. We wonder whether it’s just the typewriter that calls. Rather quiet, she has never told us much about her siav in sun-kissed California. We are very sure she's going to make an excellent private secretary tor sonic hard-work- ing business man. and Like others she may marry her boss and Jive happily ever after. Dorothy Call ah an Senior Play Committee (4); Civic Committee (-1). Dorothv is one of our liule“ girls with an extremely non- chalant air she reserves fm school, but once outside the impressive portals. “Life is just a bowl of cherries for her. Her main enjoyment seems to he ska I i tig. though she frankly admits that her secret ambition is to ride a horse. We hope there’ll be no unhappy land- ings when she rides, 19 Dorothy Cameron Catalyst Club (Secretary 4b Glee Club (2. 3. 4); Cheer Leader (4); Soccer (3, 1); G. A. C. (I); Volley Ball (Man- ager 3). Dot is one of the best-looking senior girls and her striking features arc the envy of many. She is known by her cheery greeting for everyone and her personality is “smooth ' Beach Haven, her home in summer, and Westfield will truly he the losers when Dot journeys to California. Morris Carroll El Atcneo (3); Hi’s Eye (News Editor 3� I): Academic Com- mittee (3); Senior Day Pro- gram (4); Swimming (2, 3. Wl). Morris's enforced vacation won him everybody's sympathy. However, Morris dove into school activities with a big splash on his return. He even became the most enthusiastic member of the creative writing group to which he did not be- long and championed the idea of a box social. Josephine Car are] Id Hard work always gains its re- ward, and at the end of every month Jo reaps a rich harvest of AV , I he familiar quota Lion. “Success begins in a fel- low's mind, it‘s all in the state of mind,” seems to apply to her. If you want any typing done, just give it to Jo, for she knows how to make a type- writer perform. William Collins Bill, who is quite a lady’s man, makes one of his extra-curricu- lar activities instructing a fas- cinating Deutsches Maedchen in English. Although he pro- fesses considerable interest in literature, we know he has a scientific mind, for he prefaces every remark with that inquir- ing phrase “How come?” His sartorial splendor dazzles us, for his garb presents a sym phony of harmonious hues. He is very meticulous about blue slips in 101. Harold Carlton El Atcneo (2, 3): Mask and Mime (3. 4); Senior Play Cast (4): Finance (4); Easict Play (4). Our young Clark” Romeo has made a name for himself as an extremely versatile actor. His greatest success was his part in the Senior Play: his most re cent characterization was Slov- skv, a flower shop proprietor. His interests are not entirelv confined to acting—that de- pends on the cast. Betty C omm ell Library Council (2, 3): Latin Chib (2): Forum (3); Ger- man Evening (2, 3, 4): Sen tor Play 4). When there’s a whoop from some obscure, or not so ob- scure corner, Connell” is sure to be there. She's the enlight- ened soul who makes her Eng- lish class tense with expectation as to something to howl at when she recites. Sweet Briar will gain this tall, striking, blue-eyed blonde this fall. 20 Kenneth Corne]] We have in our midst a man of great genius, by name. Ken CornelJ. He has delved! into the depths of chemistry, minerals, astronomy, and radio. Radio is his present hobby with which he has talked to many parts of the world including Australia, the hardest to get. Great man. Ren! Leslie Cross Collectors' Club (3): Spanish Club (I): Latin Club (2); Weather Vane ( I): Swimming (4). One of tnose merry Morris dancers of Senior Day fame, Leslie showed that he had con- siderable energy of a sort al- though his fellow seniors were mean enough to term him lazy . Leslies aesthetic sense is quite marked and occasional- ly he turns out a neat little quatrain for the “Weather Vane. Mary Co win Latin Club (2): Mask and Mime Club (3, 1); Senior Play Candy Committee ( I), We herald Mary as the wittiest, .She keeps all classes alive with her clever remarks and witti- cisms. hut she has her serious moments. A member of the famous Ryan. Hely. Cowin Trio, Man keeps things mov- ing. Although she made a beautiful man on Senior Day. we all know her as her own splendid self. Anne Cruikshank French Club (2, 3, I); Latin Club (2, 3): Forum (2, 3, ! Anne’s only regret in leaving Westfield for Texas was that she would miss Senior Day. However, the prospect of n warmer climate and much horseback riding helped to compensate for this and from all reports slue is enjoying her- self immensely. Anne’s giggle and red hair are missed espe- cially by Ted who seemed lost for a time. Incidentally, the Cruikshank dog did not leave with her. Betty Crook German Evening (3, I): Red Cross (2): French Club (3, I); Library Council (2): Sen- ior Play (-1); Academic Com- mittee (4). What did you say, Tippy?’’ was Betty’s favorite line in her characterization of the poetess in the Senior Play. But don't let those dreamy blue eves fool you: she knows all the answers. She says her main interests arc outside of Westfield, but her excellent marks scan to deny that statement. ■Jeannette Ciibberley G. A. C. ('2, 3, President T|. Soccer 2, 3, I): Baseball (2. 3, 1); Cheer Leader (I): Spanish Club (I); French Club (2. 3). Jimis main interest seems to he athletics as is shown by her presidency of the G. A C, and the fact that she expects to continue in this line after cob lege, but we have heard that her heart lies at Pcddie Prep. We've also heard rumors of her interest in an athlete at Westfield High. 21 Eryanna Cummings German Evening (3, I): Glee Glut) (3, 4); Mask and Mime (2, 3, 4); G. A. C. (4); Sen- ior Play (4); Cheer Leader A future Sarah Bernhardt Fr vanua takes dramatics seriously as one would expect with her ability. We predict her name in electric lights in the near future. We often wonder how this young lady finds the time to participate in so many of the school’s activities and retain her high ratings. Betty Darlington Athletic Council (Secretary 4); Red Cross (2. 3. Vice-Pies, -L; Latin Club (2. 3. 4); Senior Play (4): Hockey (2, 3, 4): Soccer (4). Betty, as Mrs. Oliver, lent sparkle to the Senior Play and made up for the playwrights deficiencies. An engaging per- sonality and a will to work have made her popular with teachers and students. Choos- ing a college seems to give Betty difficulty. Oh that Prince- ton were co-ed! Dorothy Cupitt German Evening (3. I); French Club (2. 3. Secretary 4); Weather Vane (3. -I); Basket- ball {--!); Class Secretary (I); Cheer Leader (4). Cupte has made a fine leader of the Girl Reserve Club. She is an enthusiastic worker and seems to be holding up the tradition of the family. Ask her about the big moment who haunts her every now and then. Anyone who has missed “Cu- pies” cackle when a joke is told has missed a great deal. Edwin Darrell Senior Day Coin. (4): Football (2. 3); Baseball (2); Senior Day Program pi). School seems to be a very bor- ing place for ibis chubby lad except when he gets together with his inseparable cronies. Hennie and Joe Di, I he three cause Miss Brinscr no end ol trouble. Detention, baseball- playing, and taking weekly trips to Elizabeth wiih Art Henscl are Eddie’s favorite pas- r Ernes. Florence Daman Typing Club (4). Florence is an excellent student of the commercial class. Every- one agrees she is lots of fun. Florence is noted for her mem orizing of poems. As she has set a definite goal for herself, we are sure that she will be one of the successful members of the dass. Besides being effi- cient. Florence is a very attrac- tive young lady. Jack Davenport Forum (4); Senior Play (4). Surprised as we were to find Jack behind the footlights in out Senior Play, we liked it. Since then he has seemed al- most a part of us despite the fact that he smiles down on live high school lassies in his sophisticated way and goes in for the older and more experi- enced in affairs of the heart. 22 Betty Davis Forum (4); Soccer (4): Gym Pageant (4). “Davy came to us from Illi- nois leaving behind a multi- tude of friends and making twice as many here. She is an ardent participator and spec- tator in all sports. We all en- jov “Davy’s generosity as hot always “too-crowded” car testi- fies. We real I v wish you had been with us longer. “Davy”. Joseph Da Francisco Football (2, W3); Track (W2, W3): Basket bail (2. W3.WI); Athletic Council (S. 4). Although somewhat diminiiiive. Joe is one � 1 our best athletes and his decision not to play football was a blow to the team. He is one of the popular mem- bers of the class on the ath- letic field and in the classroom. Being somewhat boisterous. Joe ranks as Miss Pel ton's pest in ilie bookkeeping class. Mary Davis Collectors Club (3, 4); German Evening (2. 3, 4): Glee Club (2, 3); Literary Club (4). Perhaps the postman is puzzled by the many odd postmarks arriving at the Davis home, for Mary has friends in many odd corners of the world. Airplanes also feature in Mary's hobbies. She is fond of life at the sea- shore and has a phobia against chemicals. .She is very inde- pendent and has a robust sense of humor. Rose Da Maio Art (2, I): Civic Committee (2); Senior Play f4). Dark brown hair, dark eyes and a cheery greeting characteri e Rose. Her brunette waves ate the ambition of many of its. especially on those “misty moisty mornings that occur so frequenti)'- Roses ambition is to be an expert hairdresser. Her lovely designs are always seen around in the art room. Howard Dietz Catalyst Club (I); Collectors Club (2): Tennis Team W4). This c]tii-et chap, an amateur carpenter of note, an ardent tennis player, and a lover of pipes, really ought to go in for golf, for his bosom friends would make an agreeable four set me. This bridge fiend is a noble defender of womankind as proved bv his masterly de- fence of the beautiful Kustacia in first period English class. Bentiley Dodd Weather Vane (-!);• Civic Com. (3) ; Football (4): Senior Day (4) . Bentley is the strong silent man of out illustrious class. With his undiscovered football abil- ity he was a great asset to the “f?” squad. We wonder if he aspires to be a great Olympic hero, as he has written his essay about the Olympic games Romance for Bentley is found in Plainfield, 23 Ned Bosch er Ari Club (3, Vice-Pres. 1); Cat- alyst Club (3, I): German Evening (2 3, I); Latin Club (2); Slide Rule (4). Whenever we see a tan Ford couch whi zing up Kim Street, we can lie sure that Ned is behind the wheel. Incidentally, he has a habit of leaving the headlights on in broad day- light, Ned docs not find it necessary to wait for spring and the circus to show interest in Ferris wheels Marjorie EUdridge Art (4). Midge”, as she is betlei known to her friends, is a slender beauty with big brown eyes. She is very successful in keeping under cover all outside activity. We've managed to find out that she is scry much interested in California and red Auburn Speedsters. Incidentally Midge is a smooth dancer. Gladys Drew French Club (2, 3, I): Literary Club (I); Latin Club (3); Mask and Mime (2, 3); Senior Play (4); Annual (4). When Gladys looks pensive, it’s because of her innate longing for a widows peak—or that ideal spot Mountain Lake, el populus. Her favorite occupa- tion is caling raspberry ice cream cones ‘ with jitters, please”. Incidentally, she attrib- utes scholastic success (so she says) to lire carrots consumed before retiring William Engesser Chess Club (4); Spanish Club (3, Treas. 4): Golf (3, 4); Latin Club (2): Baseball (2); Senior Day ri It is a real pleasure to have the acquaintance ot dependable Bill. He is a studious fellow who deals only in high marks. He is one ol the class crooners and is especially good while on his way to Plain field on many Friday evenings. IFlata Dwyer trice Club (2. 3); Typists (4): Banner (4): Civic Com, (2): Prom (3); Pin and Ring Com. (4). Although ”Dcde says she pre- fers to go out with girls, “frankly” we think differently as she is usually occupied week- end evenings with other than the female sex. She is one of those peppy members of the Senior Class and has one of those rare smooth” personal- ities which makes her liked by everyone. John Ewing Catalyst Club (3, -f): German Evening (3, I): Latin Club (2); Slide Rule Club (4); Track (2. 3); Senior Day (4). When you see someone scooting around town on a bicycle and causing a great deal of trouble in traffic, you wil usually find it to be John. Studious and dependable, John is one of the serious members of the class and he also engages in lucra- tive work on the side. 24 Janies Faw Chess Club (Sec. 3. Treas. I,. French Club (2. 3. I): Slide Rule (3. See. I reas. 4): Sen- ior Play (4): Finance Com. (4); Senior Play Com. (4). Jim's ready wit and ingenuity, coupled with bis charming Southern drawl, cause him to be in great demand where con- versation nourishes. brilliant in bis studies, slightly bashful in respect to the opposite sex, and always sincere and Friendly Jim leaves a fine record behind him in Westfield high. Janet Fetzer Glee Club 2. 3. 4): French Club (2. 3, 4); Latin Club (3) ; Mask and Mime (4); Senior Play Coin. (1): Annual (4) . Janme wiih her blue eyes and dimples is a nice friend to have. She's not only a good yport and a neat dancer, but an excellent student as well. She loves old white shoes (theolder, the better). Jaiinie” likes all music but never fails to listen to Glen Gray.

JFranlk Nigreem Civic Committee (1): baseball (Manager 2, 3). From authentic accounts, I lie reason why Flank seems so in- different to extra-curricular ac- tivities is that he is far too busy enacting the part of “King Kong” Klein on the Y r bas- ketball court. His interest in the library has been cut short by an arduous half-year on the Library Council. Nicholas Nardaello Football (2, 4): Baseball (W2. W3, W4): Swimming (3), “Nick”, our really perfect base- ball player, did a neat job of playing “papa” on Senior Day; hut maybe he is better oif on the diamond or football field.

Helen Neumann Tyjusts Club (4); Finance Com- mittee (4). Helen, a very wholesome girl if ever there was one, is tall, substantial, quiet, and even- tempered.

David Read Davy may be one of the many quiet boys in school, but once outside, watch his speed! When Davy's creative instinct bios sums forth, lie is likely to write such reprehensible things as How to Write a Book Review without Reading the Book , a subject painful to Miss Bold ner. Certain members of the faculty hope lie has outgrown the fascina lion which school property, especially radiator caps, has for him. 41 ■Joseph Reid Weather Vane (I): Football (2); Track (2.

Wc never know by watching Blanche which romance means the most, blit authorities know that baseball has won out. Her dramatic ability was shown by her portrayal of Cynthia in the Senior Play, Blanche may be the class giggler and flirt, but il von know her she has her serious moods. John Ross Mask and Mime (4 President): Track (W3): Football (2. 3); Prom Committee (3), Dressy Jack’s suave personality and dark handsomeness go lo make up an ole smoothie .

Paul Rodriguez Catalyst Club (3): French Club (2, 3, 4): Glee Club (4): Christmas Play. Fluent French slips from this lad's tongue, able to cope with English and Spanish as well. Paul has a cheerful outlook on life but can be aroused to real passion on political subjects. Perfection is none too good when this craftsman makes a table, inlays it. and polishes its gleaming surface: in fact, he's a prize winner. Muriel Ryan Glee Club (3, I): Senior Play Clerical Committee (Chair- man 4): Correspondence Com- mittee (4). It seems to us that Muriel has a man in every port, per- haps because she is an expert at rolling eyes, Muriel, Mary and Becky are the original table sitters of the front halt. On Senior Day, Muriel was one of the fetching members of the 1036 Floradora Sextette and landed on I lie right knee at the right time. Jean Russp 1,1 Ateneo (3); Academic Com- mittee (2), Although this olive-skinned lass gives an impression of tranquility, she is quite opin- ionated and has the will to ex- press her opinions.

Phis handsome, stalwart, heart- breaking young man although bowed with years has made an illustrious president for '36.

Robert's beautiful boats were once the pride of the Min dowaskin Regatta; but alas, now his fleet is harbored in the cellar of his home. At present his principal interest is photog- raphy. A $vvc.et-nut u red bow Robert is a favorite with all. but we wish he were not quite so quiet. Lillian Smyth Senior Plav Com.

Harold Sweet Catalyst (3, 4); German Eve- ning (2, 3, 4); Glee Club (I); hand {2. 3, 4); Slide Rule (3. 4); Senior Play (I). Harold prides himself on being Ins brother's senior.

From all we see and hear, he does an excellent job of living up to his last name, but for further details, consult a certain brunette. Edward Sutton Catalyst Club (3); Chess Club (3); El A teneo (2): Slide Rule Club (2); Football (2): Track ? ■ I d, who has the keen blue eyes of seafaring forebears, has a smiling good-natured face which it is a pleasure to look upon. This very conservative youth plays chess, a game loo intricate for Einstein, and his tenacious mind grapples effec- tively with either Euclid or Eli ;tacia in the schoolroom. Joseph TTalcotit Prom (3): Track (2. 3, I). Joe, the good-natured humor- ist. usually has his mind on the opposite sex, Out of sight, out of mind doesn't apply either because there is one in Harrisburg, Pa., anothei in Du- mont. N. J. and still another in Colombia. South America. Maybe that's why Joe has taken so avidly to pole vaulting. Dam Sweet Band (2, 3, 4); Track (3, 4); Catalyst (3, 4); Senior Day Program (I); Slide Rule Club 3. 4). Dan is well known for his trumpet blowing and his mighty strength, the latter so well portraved on Senior Day.

Dot is also a valuable member of the dramatics class. James Tangley Collectors Club (2, 3); German F.veiling (2, 3); Civic Com- mittee (4); Golf (4): Track (3. I). James is one of the famous trio, Fingley, Mapes, and Rent. He may generally be found wan- dering through the halls bound for nowhere, or reposing down at Sch a tie’s ovei a soda. His private life is a mystery, but we are inclined to think lie look's as if someone, somewhere, has conquered him. Mary Alice Thomas French Club (2, 3.

She has mastered the art of passing red lights and can handle a horse so that he likes it. Guy Vilia Civic Committee (2). Guy has a rather quiet air around school, but ask him about l he summer spent at Pine Camp in the National Guard!

Men and women could be seen walking down the streets to catch the traditional 8:09. As they walked along, they saw a girl on her way to school. Suddenly they stared in amazement. What brawny arms this girl had; and worse, she was extremely bowlegged! As the girl” drew near, they saw that she was a husky boy, highly rouged and heavily braceleted, wearing only a short sum- mer dress. The final touch was a red ribbon tied in his shimmering locks. For a moment they gasped, uncomprehending. Then a great light burst upon them and they passed on their way, chuckling. At last it had arrived! That Mardi Gras of madness, that exhibition of superlative senior stupidity, that frolic of foolish fun, Senior Day! Th is was the day when the dignified seniors left home and loved ones to shock the puzzled sophomores. Convicts kept company with little girls in short dresses and Mary Janes. Three rather diminutive jockeys rode into the audi- torium on somewhat dilapidated specimens of equine beauty. A sheik in gor- geous panoply produced the giggling, veiled beauties of his harem. It was obvious that brains bad been cudgelled to produce startling results. Grandma's old nightie’‘came out of the moth-balls, together with the ancient stocking cap. Admiring sophomores stood and gaped as the Dionne quints toddled down the hall, each sucking rather noisily on a nipple attached to a half-filled bottle of milk. The hit of the day, however, was the boy who came as an Italian organ grinder carrying a ramshackle hand organ. But what made spectators shriek with merriment was the fact that, instead of a monkey, he had attached a long tail to his little brother and calmly fastening him to a leash, had brought him to school for the day. Seventh period rolled by, and the long-awaited Senior Day program began. The scene was set in Caesar’s time, and the setting was a party thrown by Caesar Duncanum. Most of the male characters in the play were impersona- tions of the teachers. Cassius Johnson, one of the guests was bedight with a set of golf clubs and an immense slide rule. Various skits were introduced as entertainment for the guests. Miss Bordner’s Torturers sang She’ll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain. A very clever burlesque of the girls’ gymnasium pro- gram was given by several boys clad in the conventional rompers.” There was also a remarkable Floradora Sextette which introduced the noble Romans to the Gay Nineties. Finally everything was over; and as members of the classes not yet priv- ileged to make fools of themselves filed out of the auditorium, they sighed, tor they realized that it would be another year before Senior Day once more ar- rived. Tt is a grand old tradition that helps make Westfield F-Tigh School what it is. Although not becoming actually sentimental at the thought of leaving school, the graduating classes leave the ivv-covered walls to bigger and better classes and more Senior Days, with an inward sigh of regret. 55 Senior Q)aij Musical Comedy Stars.

(S611,10 57 [ l r Sen tor [Play 1 HILIP GOES FORTH,” a thought-provoking modern comedy written by George Kelly skilfully combines color, contrast, and human interest to produce an appealing and thoroughly entertaining comedy from the opening curtain to the final scene. Presented to the public by the Senior Class on February twenty- first and twenty-second, it was acclaimed a most successful production. The plot concerns Philip, a young college graduate who is positive that he is destined to become a great playwright and is certain that he is wasted in the business world. At length he becomes so resentful of the restrictions placed upon him by his position in his father’s office that he determines to strike out for himself in New York. He is encouraged by his sweetheart, Cynthia Oliver. The boarding house to which he goes is kept by a once successful but now retired actress who possesses an excellent understanding of human nature. She realizes that Philip is not a genius and will never be a successful playwright. At length she persuades Philip to admit the truth himself. Eventually, father and son realize their blindness and reunite. The part of Philip was played sympathetically by John Davenport, while that of the father was successfully handled by Harold Carlton. As Philip’s Aunt Marion, Dorothy Willis was thoroughly convincing, Betty Darlington as- sumed the role of a flighty widow, Mrs. Oliver, so ably that the audience visibly brightened when she came on. The part of her daughter, a charming, young girl with more sense than her mother, was played very effectively by Blanche Roeg. Ervanna Cummings in the difficult role of the landlady, Mrs. Ferris, gave a fine interpretation. James Bricker as the amusing and tactless Tippy was particularly enjoyable, and Betty Crook gave a very successful portrayal of a dreamy poetess, the one actual genius in Mrs. Ferris’ odd household. 58 A JL A-LSO included in the cast were Mr. Haines, a composer, Harold Sweet; Edna, a maid, Dorothy Taylor; and Hazel, the boarding house chambermaid, Betty Ransom. To make the play completely successful, the work of many students and teachers was required. For instance, the set for the first act, a tastefully fur- nished drawing room in a modern city apartment, was designed by Kenneth Wood and was particularly charming in both color scheme and design. Even greater pains had to be lavished on the set for the second act in order to cap- ture the atmosphere of an unpretentious boarding house in uptown New York, This set was designed by Kenneth Mapes. Both of these sets were executed by the Stagecraft Club under the direction of Miss Harriet S. Howard. Technical effects were handled by a committee supervised by Mr. Vincent Faust, During the sale of candy between acts, the High School Orchestra played music appropriate to the atmosphere of the performance. Innumerable services connected with publicity, ticket sales, candy, properties, ushers, and checkers were accomplished by willing student committees assisted by members of the faculty. All of these had bearing on the ultimate success of the play. Finally, to Miss Agnes Irene Allard ice, who coached the play, goes the sincere gratitude of the Senior Class for performing so well her difficult task of assuring the success of Philip Goes Forth.” Senior [Play 59 Senior Class CDi rectory NAME COURSE Achterman, Edna General Andersen, Erik College Prep.

Phoco by Curt Foerstcr 74 Organizations Weather Vane T 1 HE WEATHER VANE Staff, one of the most important organizations in the school, publishes four entertaining magazines a year and edits the senior year- book. The general staff meets at present on the first and third Tuesday of each month, while business and literary groups have special meetings with their adviser. Miss Bordner, and the art group convenes with Miss Howard. During the past school year, the Staff has been under the able leadership of Eileen Wcstra, one of the best editors-in-chief in its history. The associate edi- tors, Barbara Peek and Dorothy Taylor, have also been unusually competent, functioning as literary critics and revision experts. The business managers under the two Joes, Havens and Reid, have worked diligently to keep the publication solvent, especially during the football season when they presided patiently at the candy table, dealing out luscious bars to the fair damsels who sold them. Ac one time a business manager rescued the entire supply of candy as well as many important business papers from a flood in 101. Minor Frost, assistant, was the creator of an assembly program which introduced much remarkable talent to the school and made Minor Bowes,” if not the magazine, famous. Several seniors, particularly the Misses Peterson, Finck, Thomas, and Bohl, have been largely responsible for the superior art work. Although the magazine, competing for the first time with schools with double our enrollment, lost the coveted first place it held for five years, the Staff hopes to regain its laurels with the aid of a first-class printer and a 1936-37 staff selected on a competitive rather than an elective basis. Since the literary rating is as high as it has ever been, more generous support, improved layout, and able department editors are all the magazine needs to regain its blue ribbon. 76 s kJQFT lights� a crackling fire, deep comfy chairs, and a good book—what a perfect setting for the Literary Club! The twenty-five select members, whose officers are Donna Lou Butcher, president, and Betty Ransom, secretary, enjoy particularly the informality of the meetings, and even Mr, Robert L. Foose joins the members on the floor about the fire. Dignity is maintained by Miss Carol Brinser, who has taken Miss Kelly's place as co-sponsor, and other members of the English Department who preserve decorum on hospitable sofas and inviting chairs. As various members opened their homes to the group for the monthly meet- ings, the book lovers gathered in some pleasant living room and listened to inter- esting speakers or discussed New England literature which happened to be the Club’s theme this year. At the first meeting, held at Betty Gregory's home, Mrs. Webbling Watts spoke informally of literary acquaintances in England during her girlhood. She and her sisters were particularly intimate with John Ruskin whom they visited at Brantwood,” and she read many delightful letters written to them by Mr. Ruskin and exhibited a reproduction of a silver point drawing made of him by her sister. Mrs. Robert Thompson, an exchange teacher in Eng- land last year, gave a delightful account of her experience in an English school at the second meeting, for which Betty Ransom was hostess. Mrs. Donald Kim- ball, a native of Vermont, read a group of poems from Robert Frost's ’ North of Boston” and “New Hampshire” at the third meeting, held at Jean Hastorf's. These intellectual soirees proved both entertaining and instructive and were followed by delicious refreshments enjoyed by even the least literary among the members. In the spring a number of the members accompanied Miss Brinser to New York where they saw the tragic drama, “Ethan Frome,” based on Edith Whar- ton’s fine book of the same name. 77 i orar if Go unc11 M EMBERSHIP in this working organization is open only to those who will give two hours a week in library service and perform their duties con- scientiously and faithfully. That the experience gained is valuable is attested by the growth of the Council during the last few years. Aside from the use- ful knowledge secured, students have found that training in library procedure often proves a means of self-help in college. Although a number of pupils have been interested in librarianship as a profession through service in this organization, many enjoy the variety pro- vided by practical activity. Then, too, the inspiring meetings of the New Jersey School Library Council are much appreciated by members who attend them. The winter meeting of the New Jersey School Library Council was held at the beautiful Weequahic High School in Newark, January 18, and was attended in spite of bad weather by Edith Webster, Idamae Harms, Betty Pierce, and their adviser, Miss Bible. Interesting talks were given by Agnes Sligh Turnbull, author of Rolling Years,” and Edith Bishop Sherman, who wrote the well- known Mistress Madcap,” Other attractive features were a luncheon at Kresge’s and a tour through the Newark Museum. Such was the lure of the Nation’s Playground that a bus load attended the Spring meeting, held at the Atlantic City High School on May 23. An unusual program by student magicians, luncheon at a boardwalk restaurant, a visit to the Crane Exhibit, and a little relaxation on the Steel Pier were attractions of this trip. During the past year the work of the Council has been directed by com- mittees headed by Edith Hill, Dorothy Bell, Sophie Schaefer, Margaret Ander- son, Margaret Benson, Idamae Harms, and Arthur Rocker. Martin Sargent has served as treasurer. All training has been given and work supervised by Miss Alice M. Bible. 78 w f HEN asked whether he enjoyed the game of chess, Professor Einstein shook his woolly head and replied, No, it requires too much concentration for me Versatile students of Westfield High School, however, formed a chess club last year which, though small, is active and thriving Under the expert guidance of Mr Gesner, the Club meets every Wednes- day after school and learns the game, from elementary moves up to involved and confusing plays. After the boys have played a few games, they gather around a board and Mr. Gesner shows them the faults and virtues of a game played by members. Discussion of every possible move and combination of moves is brought up to show the members bow different people apply their forms of attack and defense. Later in tournaments the players are not so apt to be surprised by unknown tricks. Although the jovial adviser assigns a problem to be worked out during the week following the meeting, it is likely that some enthusiasts will gather about his desk the next morning boisterously exclaiming, Is this right, Mr. Gesner? or No, you don't do that; you move the knight here. The officers, who play with gusto on Wednesdays and preside decorously at the business meeting on the second Thursday of each month, are Darwin Ley, president; Donald Pollock, vice-president; and James Paw, secretary-treasurer. During their regime several matches have been played with Thomas Jefferson High School, Pingry School, and West Side High School. Improvement has been shown in the more recent meets. This is due to the increased number of meet- ings and the helpful criticism and advice of the adviser. Next year the Chess Club will compete in the Northern New Jersey Tour- nament; so dust off your chess boards and help make Westfield prominent in chess circles. CL less GlutI 79 a rcluieol0(j i ca I Society T OMBS, graveyards, and underground villages offer no terrors to the members of the High School Archaeological Society. They are the world s future Philhowers, who hope to astonish humanity with their amazing discov- eries of ancient Indian villages and burials. Naturally their activities are a bit milder at the present time on account of the limitations of New Jersey and the surrounding territory, but the yearly program covers a variety of interests. From the wide field of archaeology the Society has restricted its investiga- tions to the American Indians, particularly those tribes that inhabited New Jersey. This study includes the locations of former Indian tribes, their remains, and relics such as mummies, pottery, implements, arrowheads, and all book lore concerning them. The Society is a subsidiary of the Archaeological Society of New Jersey and meets in the high school shop on the first and third Mondays of each month. The acting president this year is David Spalding, who is capably as- sisted by Charles Schaefer, vice-president; Constance Clark, secretary; and Jack Brokaw, treasurer. Mr. Harold Thompson, the sponsor of the group, has a large Indian col- lection which provides a source of material for discussion at a number of the meetings. Field trips to points of interest and of possible discovery are a regu- lar part of the yearly program. Indian relic enthusiasts like Mr. Philhower and Mr. Ncubauer frequently honor the Society by lecturing. One of the established customs of the Society is the visit to Colonel Leigh M. Pearsall’s Wigwam” to view his magnificent Indian collection, acknowledged to be the most complete private collection in the Americas, This great col- lection was begun by the acquisition of a few arrowheads and now contains rugs, weapons, canoes, implements, and paintings. The society also attended the meeting of the State Archaeological Society which was held at Somerville in March. 80 A X A RE you one of those people who become interested in certain things and immediately start a collection? If you are, you should belong to the Collectors Club, for there you may exhibit your stamps, pitchers� gems� souvenir spoons, corns and innumerable other things with the assurance of having sympathetic souls to admire the objects you collect or the evidences of your superior acquisi- tiveness. Under the direction of Miss Olive Hammell, herself a collector of stamps, coins, and cameos, the Club has had a most enjoyable year. Many of the meet- ings have been held in private homes where the atmosphere is much more cheer- ful than that of the ordinary classroom. For instance, Mr. H. G. Loesch of Stoneleigh Park, a collector of miniatures, was host to the group for one of its winter meetings. After viewing the miniatures, the members gathered in the living room where refreshments were served and a number of colorful moving picture reels of various picturesque European countries were shown. At another meeting. Dr. H. J. Rossbacher, father of one of our members, opened his home to the group. On this occasion Mr. Ford, the speaker of the evening, exhibited his beautiful collection of seaweed so mounted that its del- icacy of form and color was preserved. The Club also had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Ford’s famous stamp collection which has been awarded several prizes. Mr. Ford explained how one starts a stamp collection and told interesting stories relating to his experiences in securing stamps. In addition to special meetings such as those described, the collectors hold meetings for the exchange of stamps, coins, stones, etc., and visit the Annual Stamp Exhibit in New York. The very efficient officers for the year have been Arthur Warren, president; Donald PoLock, vice-president; 1 damae Harms, secretary; and Dubois Rors- bacher, treasurer. 81 T 1 HE French Club, Le Quartier Latin’ to its members, has long been one of the most popular and beneficial organizations in the school. Under the super- vision of Miss Foutz and Mr. Gesner, excellent programs have been prepared for each meeting and every member has participated in some way. Different play casts, numerous committees, and amusing and instructive games have made pos- sible active participation by all members. This year the programs have been delightfully varied. A number of appro- priate and entertaining plays, coached by the talented Mr. Gesner, have proved enjoyable even to first-year students. At one meeting natives of France enter- tained by acting out a short skit; at several others, former French students of the school who had studied abroad returned to relate their experiences. Nearly every meeting found the members delighting in singing French songs from the Club’s own attractive song books. One of the outstanding events of every year has been the meeting to which parents and friends arc invited. This year a fast-moving comedy was presented by able actors and actresses, an exciting vocabulary game was played by oppos- ing teams for imposing awards, and a mixed chorus sang several lovely French songs. The meeting closed with the singing of the stirring French national anthem, La Marseillaise.” As usual, a trip was made to New York to visit a French steamship, see a French movie, and eat at a French restaurant, and an interesting portfolio, to which every member contributed, was sent to a school in France as a gesture of good will. Under the leadership of its competent president, Joseph Havens, the Club met every third Thursday of the month. Other officers equally able were Jean Ferris and William Best, vice-presidents; Dorothy Cupitt and Carol Bowden, secretaries; and Mary Alice Thomas and Stanley Hill, treasurers. 82 T JL HE popularity of the German Department is evinced by the number of students belonging to it The enthusiasm of its leaders, Fraulein Dodds, and its members is proved by the success each year of its biggest undertaking, German Evening,” or Der Deutsche Abend.” This important event includes a short comedy, German folkdancing and singing, a program of jokes made up by the inimitable Miss Dodds, and music rendered with much gusto by the German Band. And last, but not least, proud parents can see the result of their chil- dren’s daily efforts by visiting the room containing a collection of booklets and posters made by the students. However, “German Evening” is not the only activity of this organization, although about two months are spent preparing for it. Another big event which takes place in the spring is the Declamation Contest in German held each year at Rutgers, in which Westfield is invited to participate. For weeks before the eventful date, students are busy looking up suitable poems, always with the willing aid of Miss Dodds, then learning them by heart and trying to say them before the class with expression. Members of the department always feel that their efforts are justified even though many of them get no farther than the preliminary contest because each year three or four of our representatives return with books as prizes. Perhaps the most enjoyable activity of the year is the trip to New York City. This year the students visited the German liner ''Columbus,” a little old German bookstore, and a museum containing German articles. They ace real German food at the “Hofbrau” and later went to see a German movie. All this success and fun would be impossible for the department without the complete devotion of its leader. Miss Dodds, to her proteges. Vienna a Cfyepartnient 83 QjpanisH eu F 1- T. ATENEO,” one of the oldest of the High School organizations, boasts a membership of many smiling senoritas” and handsome caballeros.” It exists for the purpose of acquainting the members with Spanish traditions and customs and also provides an opportunity for expression in the Spanish tongue as the meetings are conducted entirely in Spanish. The two main features of the year are the Christmas meeting which takes the form of a typical Spanish fiesta” and the annual trip, in the spring, to visit New York. Other monthly meetings are devoted to learning Spanish games and songs. In the fall one meeting is devoted to the initiation of new members. The June meeting is held to celebrate Pan-American Day, June fourteenth. At the Christmas meeting each member was asked to purchase and wrap an inexpensive gift for the owner of a name which he had drawn at a previous meeting. Each student found his gift in a toy shoe left, supposedly, by the three Wise Men, according to the old Spanish custom. Among the games played was one called La Pinata.” Each participant was blindfolded and had three chances at poking a bag suspended from the ceiling, with a stick. When the bag was finally punctured, there was a grand scramble to get the candy which had fallen. The meeting closed with the singing of a number of Christmas carols in Spanish, In April the annual trip to New York was taken. The travellers journeyed by bus to New York where they first visited the Hispanic Museum. Following this luncheon was eaten in a Spanish restaurant and the afternoon spent at a Spanish movie. Miss Stella Hemphill, adviser of the Spanish Club, was ably assisted this year by Maude Kelley, president; Barbara Bostwick, vice-president; Barbara Plumer, secretary; and William Engesser, treasurer. 84 M -LV XR, WILLIAM LONG, a prominent Westfield lawyer and a former teacher in the Westfield High School, stated in a recent talk to the Latin Club that a knowledge of Latin is one of the principal helps in giving one a command of the English language. English teachers testify also to the superior vocabu- laries of those students who have had even two years’ study of Latin. The Latin Club strives to keep students interested in Latin and is very successful. One of the most entertaining activities of the Club is that of producing humorous satires on stones written by well-known Latin authors. This year a dramatization of one of Pliny's ghost stories in both an ancient and modern version was the source of much mirth. Students will not remember such per- formances for their smoothness and polish, but few students will forget the amusement and revived interest in Latin with which these furnished them. In addition to these dramatic performances there were other sources of in- terest. Roman games were played; a Roman banquet was given at which the seniors and juniors reclined at tables in the comfortable Roman way, while sophomores served them; and a trip was taken to Plainfield where the Plain- field Latin Club entertained. The Club has solved the problem of poor attendance by imposing a fine of ten cents on each member missing a meeting without legitimate excuse. Strict enforcement of this rule caused a few inactive members to resign and those truly interested in belonging to pay up in order to appear in the Latin Club picture in the year book. The Latin Club is sponsored by Mr. Edmund C. Allen and Miss Gertrude E. Foutz, while officers for the past year have been Consul, Mary Alice Thomas; Vice-Consul, Robert Bender; Quaestor, Carol Bowden; and Scriptor, Marjorie Jones. 85 Slide i'Rule eu A -L. ALL the mathematical wizards of the school are members of the Slide Rule Club, whose purpose is learning to use the slide rule or 4'slip-stick” in order to shorten the time necessary to do problems in chemistry, physics, and trigonom- etry as well as in ordinary mathematics. The members are unusually alert and active, a condition not usual with people looking for shore cuts in work. Several of the meetings at the beginning of the year are devoted to teach- ing the new members the fundamentals in slide rule technique. The advanced members work on problems involving multiplication, division, square root, cube root, proportions, and computations with settings. At the end of each meeting practice sheets are handed out so that the members may do some work before the next meeting. While visitors think the study of the slide rule intricate and uninteresting, the members are unanimous in their opinion that the work of the Club is highly beneficial and they are backed up by the reports of former students now in college who say that their knowledge of the slide rule has saved them much time and many errors. Students majoring in engineering have found it almost indispensable. At the last meeting of the year a contest is held to see how much the members have learned. The problems cover the work done during the entire year. In this contest speed and accuracy are of prime importance and slide rules are awarded as prizes to the two students having the highest scores. The picture of this brainy group is minus the camera-shy and the tardy. The meetings in 313, famous for its gigantic slide rule, were attended by forty members who chose the following officers: president, Darwin Ley; vice-president, Edward Derge; secretary-treasurer, James Faw. The popular adviser was Mr. Walter Eugene Johnson, 86 w T f ITH future science enthusiasts and possibly Einsteins or Mendeleyeffs as the nucleus, the Catalyst Club boasts a membership of thirty-eight students, thirty-four boys and four girls. To be eligible for membership in this most illustrious organization, a student must have a year of science to his credit or must be an active member of the department during the current year. The program for this year was exceedingly interesting as well as extremely varied. Dr. Billinger, professor of Chemistry at Lehigh University, spoke on one of the recent contributions of science to civilization, liquid air. He accompanied his lecture with instructive demonstrations. Members of the Chemistry Department presented a number of interesting chemical experiments at a later meeting. They were profitable to both the audi- ence and the boys who were in charge as they were difficult and required several weeks’ preparation. Dr, W, T. Read, head of the Chemistry Department at Rutgers Univer- sity, presented a most interesting talk at the April meeting. The Club also spon- sored open discussions on the Periodic Table, a most mystifying conglomeration of signs and symbols printed on a highly-treasured sheet of linen, of which our department boasts. As a climax to the year, the Club made a trip to the Proctor and Gamble plant on Staten Island. Following the tour of inspection there, the party pro- gressed to Radio City where a tour of the National Broadcasting Company Studios was made. Traveling by bus and eating picnic suppers en route made this a particularly appealing expedition. The officers for the year were: president, Frank Feely; vice-president, Phyllis Greene; secretary, Dorothy Cameron; and treasurer, Ralph Martin. Advisers for the Club are Mr. Walter E. Johnson, Jr., and Mr. C. Blair Rogers, two ardent lovers of science and indefatigable workers. 87 fJiecl Cross Council T A HE work of the Red Cross Council has quietly and efficiently accom- plished much this year. In spite of the numerous demands on pocketbooks, the students have contributed to the work of the Red Cross. The Council, an organization whose activity does not materially benefit the school, receives gen- erous support not only because it is a group doing worth-while things, but also because the depression and recent disasters have made young people aware of human suffering. Under this year’s officers, president, Betty Gregory; vice-president, Betty Darlington; secretary, Jeanne Adams; and treasurer, Frank Feely, work on the annual membership drive began early in the fall and practically every home- room attained one hundred percent enrollment. At Thanksgiving time, as usual, food was collected for the Children’s Country Home, and spare tables in every schoolroom held a growing collection of canned fruits and vegetables, sugar, and other food which does not spoil, during the last week of November. An assem- bly program was given in connection with the drive. Several members of the Council spoke and Mrs. Kniffen, a member of the Board of Managers of the Home, gave an interesting talk. These efforts brought satisfactory results in food and money donations. During the time of the disastrous floods in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New England, the Red Cross Council sponsored another drive, and a con- siderable sum of money was collected in the home-rooms, where impromptu speeches were made by representatives of the Council to follow up the pleas made in assembly. The spring activity of this helpful organization involves sending a dele- gate to the annual conference of the Junior Red Cross, generally held at Washington. Although this year’s conference was held in more distant Chicago, Miss Celia M. Dickenson and one delegate attended the meetings and later pre- sented an interesting report of the proceedings. 88 T T -M HE Typing Club, consisting of the members of the secretarial training class and a few juniors, types everything for the various school organizations. Class and club notes, stories and poems for the Weather Vitm and the Hi’s Eye, review questions for teachers, programs for school affairs, cards for filing, ancl addresses on envelopes are all typed by their nimble fingers. Indeed, a great deal of the work which they do would be done by the large office forces main- tained in some high schools. As most of the group are shorthand writers and are always anxious to secure practice which will make them more efficient in the business world, a great many teachers use members of the Club as secretaries and give them ad- ditional experience in taking dictation. Several of the members of the Typing Club were responsible for con- siderable work on the write-ups for the Weather Vane Anmtul, always an ar- duous task. Although the indefatigable adviser, Miss Mary E. Colley, was ill for many months, the Club was efficiently directed by the substitute teacher, Mrs. Batts, The enrollment this year consisted of the following competent typists: Adele Bonsall, Catherine Rracuto, Winifred Briant, Josephine Caravello, Florence Damm, Rita Dwyer, Maxine Force, Marguerite Haas, Mary Linden, Virginia Lundgren, Eileen Matthern, Enid Miller, Helen Neumann, Louise Pensa, Violet Pensa, John Ryan, and Muriel Ryan. As any student who knows how to type and enjoys typing may belong to the Club, it is hoped that there will be a large and proficient group next year, for in a growing school there is always more work than the group can accomplish. No one who joins the Typing Club need complain of lack of op- portunity to work. There is always something to be done. We suggest that all typists join the club and prepare for better service. Club 89 Ctrl eu, F OR those who aspire to Rem brand tian fame or who have suspected untried talent, we have the Art Club. Murals, masks, or marionettes, are open for experiment to members of the club. Work is carried on in oils, water-color, pastels, or whatever medium the person likes, and the subjects are equally varied from bowls of luscious pears to charming little costume models. At the beginning of the year the Club worked from still life composed of fruit and vegetables. Work was then advanced to sketches of models chosen from the class. These sketches were made in charcoal, pastel, then water-color. The Club was then divided into different groups working on various projects. Several members designed and painted murals for the school library. These murals covered varied subjects including mathematics, science, religion, A Tale of Two Cities,” and fairy tales. The more ambitious attempted portraits in oil; others worked on fashion design. One interesting piece of work was a stage setting for Wagner’s Valkyrie.” Being essentially a working” club, the meetings occur more frequently than for most clubs. This year, so that even more time might be given, a new plan was instigated. Third period on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week was given to the Art Club. Attendance at the meetings was voluntary. Besides the actual art work there are trips to art exhibits and museums. This year the most memorable trip was that to the Montclair exhibit of work by New Jerseys artists. Interesting speakers are sometimes invited to entertain the Club, and all the members look forward to the annual tea given by its competent adviser, Miss Howard, The Art Club presents an opportunity for study for those seriously inter- ested in art; but everyone enjoys its pleasantly informal atmosphere and many join merely to gain an appreciation of art. 90 T «L HE energetic students in the accompanying picture are artists and tech- nicians responsible for the subde effects produced in many of our school per- formances. Few people who see the finished performances given in the school realize the tremendous amount of work this group accomplishes. Everyone can see what a difficult task it is to change scenery in a limited amount of time with as little noise as possible, but that is only a small part of their work. One of the most important activities of the Club is the designing, con- structing, and painting of stage sets. This is a job that can't be done merely by hard work. It requires definite skills which are the result of talent and training. A great deal of thought lies within the final color scheme of the scenes which give so artistic an effect when combined with costumes, lights, and properties. While Miss Howard supervises all this artistic designing and painting, Mr. Faust and his crew are rigging the lights. He works on top of a ladder hanging spot lights around the stage to produce desired effects. A crew of boys experi- ments with color slides to be placed in the spots.” Electricians in the loft connect a maze of wires and study their instructions regarding the lights to use in various scenes. The property committee industriously gathers together the required chairs, tables, sofas, pictures, etc. Finally the day of the performance arrives. Every man is at a specified post, and the technicians operate at a pre-arranged signal. The actors do their part on the stage and the stage hands move silently behind the scenes doing necessary jobs. A few deft touches are given the cushions on a sofa or the flowers on a table. When the curtain goes up, the effect is admirable. 91 T M HERE are some things of which we never seem to tire; in fact, the more we come in contact with them, the stronger their attraction for us becomes. The sixty members of the school band find this particularly true of their organization, for the more they play, the more enthusiastic they grow. This indispensable organization attended all the football games, both at home and away, in sunshine, rain, snow, and mud, and supplied atmosphere and enthusiasm through its ''snappy” marching, fancy drills, and stirring music. For the first time it marched down the held in W” formation and greeted us and our opponents with a blue and white Hello The initial of each opposing team was formed and the school song played. The instrumentation has been exceptionally well balanced this year and there have been several outstanding soloists, including William Ahrendt, Fred Best, Clinton Gaggione, Thomas Hastings, and Edmund Reichard. Our expert drum major, Charles Greaves, has also been an ornament and asset. As usual, the highlight of the year was the annual midwinter concert, presenting many novel and interesting features; but all engagements afforded really good times to the fortunate players who enjoy the thrilling moments before and after concerts. Concerts were given at assembly in both the junior and senior high schools. The Band also played at one of the basketball games, at Parent-Teacher meetings, and at open air gatherings. Everywhere it was greeted with appreciation and enthusiasm. Under the untiring efforts of Mr. William Warner, director, there has been a decided gain in quality and last year the Band earned the highest rating in the State of New Jersey. Interest in the fame of other bands led many of the members to New York where they listened to the famous Joliet Township High School Band. 92 T M HF, Orchestra, always mindful of student interest, changed this year from its usual policy of playing only classical music and responded to the numerous requests for popular music, including in its repertoire sonic of the lighter songs from current productions. Another indication of progress was the director’s course in music appreciation and theory which proved so valuable and interest- ing that it will rank as a major subject in the high school curriculum next year. Besides playing for the weekly assembly programs, the Orchestra has con- tributed to the success of many Parent-Teacher Association meetings in our own and other schools, the Christmas and Easter programs, the senior play, ''Philip Goes Forth,” and other occasions of importance. The highlight of the year’s schedule, however, was the participation of many members in the con certs and broadcasts of the New Jersey A11-State High School Orchestra. The students who upheld the honor of the school at Atlantic City, where the traditional concert of the A11-State High School Orchestra was held, were Darwin Ley, Edmund Rcichard, William Ahrendc, Llewellyn Curtis, Madeline Batt, Robert Currier, and Patrick Man fra. Later these students had the privi- lege of playing with the organization for the Music Educators' National Con- ference at the Metropolitan Opera House. Tt was, indeed, a thrilling experience. This year the Westfield High School Orchestra possessed a number of very talented members; so Fred Best, baritone; Thomas Hastings, clarinet; Hayden Mason, ’cello; Edmund Reichnrd, oboe; William Ahrendt, trombone; Clinton Gaggione, tuba; and Patricia Powell, flute, represented us at the State Solo Contest. The Orchestra appreciates the fact that the standing achieved and main- tained so successfully has been due to the untiring efforts of its excellent director, Miss K. Elizabeth Ingalls, who has made a notable place for herself in public school music circles in New Jersey. STL (Orchestra 93 c ► JOUND your A , run up and down the scale, read a page of music at sight, sing a song. All of this done, you are accepted as a member of a glee dub. There are sixty girls who belong to the two girls1 glee clubs, which are the Senior and Sophomore Glee Clubs. These girls with the aid of the newly- formed Boys’ Glee Club supply vocal music for various school programs. The Christmas Program is the outstanding feature of the year’s schedule. The members of the clubs, vested and carrying lighted candles, march down the aisle singing the processional and take their seats in the choir pit. As each tableau is revealed on the stage, suitable carols or anthems are sung, the whole making an effect impressive in its simplicity. This year appropriate solos were sung by Mary Ann Faw and Virginia Lundgren. The Glee Clubs were very conspicuous in the annual Spring Music Festival, a very original and colorful affair entitled The Musical Melange 1 which was produced under the direction of Miss Ingalls and Mr. Warner. The program was built around hits” taken from leading musical comedies from 1890 up to the present. Appropriate costumes were secured for each number and these together with the staging and lighting under the direction of Miss Howard and Mr. Faust produced a stratling and beautiful effect. Selected members of the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs were delegated to sing in the Second New Jersey All-State Chorus. Students chosen from the high schools of the entire State made up a chorus which presented a concert at Atlantic City in November, The All-State Chorus was fortunate enough to be invited to give a concert before the National Music Educators’ Conference at the Metropolitan Opera House in March. Miss Ingalls was a conductor on this occasion. 94 T -M. HE Mask and Mime Club touched new heights in its enrollment this year, totalling over one hundred and twenty-five members. This was due, no doubt, to the variety of activities open to members. Of course there is opportunity for those who have talent in acting, but aside from that there arc numberless committees including costume, make-up, stage, property, and lighting. 'Til Leave It to You” by Noel Coward was the outstanding production for the year. Sparkling dialogue and the ingenious plot concerning an aristocratic English family, spurred to unusual activity by the promise of an uncle to reward the most successful with his fortune, combined to provide an excellent comedy. Yvonne Gaston, Jack Haviland, Claude Leaman, Jean Haslam, Minor Frost, Ervanna Cummings, Gloria Mine, Jeanne Adams, and Clason Saunders portrayed the characters most successfully. The monthly meetings provided a number of interesting programs. Mrs. Webbling Watts, connoisseur of English stage artists, spoke at the October meeting, answering questions from the audience concerning the attributes neces- sary in a stage career, preparation necessary, and the possibilities open to young people. She also exhibited her book of stage autographs. At a later meeting, students of the Dramatic Class presented a program consisting of an original extemporaneous play entitled, Hollywood or Bust,” a skit The Evening Dress,” and a simplified version of The Eldest.” The plays were not particularly polished productions but offered participation to a number of students, as well as amusement to the audience. The Christmas Pageant, Philip Goes Forth,” His Cross,” and one-act plays, although not directly allied with the Mask and Mime Club, offered the chance to many to gain experience through committee work. Miss Agnes L Allardice, sponsor of the Club, was ably assisted by Jack Ross, president; Katherine Wick, vice-president; Minor Frost, treasurer; and Gloria Hine, secretary. 11 lash and lllime 95 rJhe riorum u 1 OLDING as its aim to promote civic leadership and to make intelligent citizens” the Forum is one of the most progressive of the school organizations. The most outstanding contribution of the club to the public this year was the meeting held in the Benjamin Franklin School at which time Dr. Clyde Miller, a well-known professor from Columbia University, lectured on the topic, Prop- aganda and How to Deal with It.” The active group of progressive thinkers which comprises the Forum meets weekly the third period Tuesday to discuss topics of national interest and to promote the general welfare of the school by considering problems which arise. Feeling the need of guest speakers for the school assembly whose position and influence in public affairs is a challenge to our potential leaders, the club spon- sored a benefit movie, The Life of Louis Pasteur” and co-feature, Jane Withers in Paddy CTDay,” in order to obtain sufficient funds to engage such speakers. Besides these activities, the Forum took several field trips. In March the Club, invited by Mr. Hendrickson, a former W. H. S. faculty member, visited Bogota High School to discuss the topic of the Old Age Security Fund.” From Bogota the tour continued to the Bronxville and Scarsdale High Schools, The trip proved interesting as well as beneficial as the members were divided into several groups with definite assignments for conference discussions. In these groups were compared the curricula, athletic program, library administration, student councils, publications, and clubs. Another pleasant as well as profitable activity of the organization was to conduct round table discussions with other schools, both formally and in- formally. The officers for this year were: president, Jean Hastorf; vice-president, Donald Pollock; and secretary, Betty Gregory. The Club is under the able sponsorship of Miss Agnes A Hard ice and Mr. Frederick Rope. 96 A .X m. S the ranks of the debaters were sadly depleted through graduation of most of the experts, a call went forth for young blood, and Miss Allardice was gratified by the number of sophomores who responded. The indefatigable adviser began at once to train the new recruits. She initiated them into the mysteries of making briefs, outlines, and rebuttals, to say nothing of familiarizing them with the use of the Reader’s Guide and the reference shelves. Aside from the late start there was nothing distressing except the news that the famous Triangle Debates with Plainfield and Morristown were called off. It is no longer possible to say that one wins a debate, for the fashion now is to have non-decision debates and voting to determine the best speaker. Should Congress have the power to overrule the Supreme Court was the ques- tion for a non-decision debate with South Side Newark during the first semester. When East Orange debated here on the same subject, Donald Pollock was accounted the best speaker in a student and faculty vote. Now that the Debate Team has allied itself with the Northern New Jersey League, we shall be debating with various schools of that League. There will be three series of debates to which we contribute both negative and aftimative speakers. In May we debated with Irvington and Belleville, two schools in the League. As the particular aim in debate at present is to develop good speakers, only two speakers and an alternate are used by each side. In so far as possible each school tries to use new speakers in its series in order to further this aim. With all but two of our debaters returning next year, we should have a well-trained team who will go forth and bring back the bacon, such as it is. CDebate e ub 97 Cl nstmas Olay T u HE Christmas pageant this year was one of rare beauty and feeling. It represented scenes from the Nativity given in the form of tableaux which were convincingly portrayed by members of the student body. The soft light of the candle-lit auditorium lent enchantment to these living pictures. For this program the assembly hall underwent a metamorphosis. From the admittedly rather drab everyday appearance it was changed into a majestic cathedral. The stage was set with three high arches within which the tableaux appeared. Around the stage the walls disappeared behind coverings of hoary stone in which were set two richly-glowing stained glass windows. Dim shapes of evergreen trees were visible here and there and their fragrance wafted through the auditorium. The audience grew silent as singing was heard in the distance. It came nearer and finally flooded the auditorium as the vested choir, singing the age- old processional, ’'Oh Come, All Ye Faithful,” entered, each member carrying a lighted candle. The choristers took their places and after a selection by the orchestra, the reader read verses of the Christmas story from the Bible. The first of the tableaux portrayed the Annunciation. Music accompanied this scene after which followed living pictures of the Shepherds following the star to Bethlehem, the three Kings also journeying to worship the Christ child, and the Holy Family assembled in the stable. Between these tableaux appropriate read- ings were given. The story of the Nativity completed, the choir began the recessional, and finally their voices faded into the distance. Appropriate solos were sung by Virginia Lundgren and Mary Ann Faw. One of the most beautiful and inspiring presentations of the school year, this program truly sets the spirit and feeling for the Christmas season. It is to be hoped that it becomes and remains a school tradition. 98 T JLHIS year s Easter production was a one-act play by Ralph P. Claggett, entitled His Cross.” The play was produced on Thursday evening, April 7, before the members of the Parent-Teachers’ Association and was repeated for the student body on Thursday, March 9, in assembly. In His Cross,” Obed, a master carpenter who is under contract to build crosses for Rome, brings great suffering to his family through his part in cru- cifixions. How these fears are replaced with peace and happiness on the day of the Crucifixion of Jesus forms a most dramatic story and provides excellent opportunity for a superior dramatic performance. Although the leading man, Claude Leaman, was prevented from appearing through illness, Henry Harley manfully assumed the role with only forty-eight hours’ warning. Other members of the cast were Deborah, Obed’s wife, Grace Waring; Elizabeth, his daughter, Gloria Hine; John, his son, Martin Biazzo; Rufus, his apprentice, James Bricker; Simon of Cyrene, father of Rufus, Minor Frost; and Joram, a beggar, Charles Johansen. The audience especially appre- ciated the spirited performances of Grace Waring and Charles Johansen, who interpreted particularly difficult roles. Martin Biazzo was delightful as a young boy; Gloria Hine and James Bricker as the lovers lightened the tragedy to a certain extent, and Minor Frost was dignified and convincing as Simon. The setting, Obed’s carpenter shop, was finely executed by Kenneth Wood, designer, and Jane Finck and Kenneth Mapes, painters, under Miss Harriet Howard’s expert direction, while difficult stage and theatrical effects which included thunder, lightning, and fire, were handled admirably by a special com- mittee supervised by Mr. Vincent Faust. The general direction of the Easter Play was, as usual, in the capable hands of Miss Agnes Irene Allardice, teacher of oral English. Saster CPLy 99 CPhi otoq rap Inc cSocietu j. F YOU wondered who wis hiding behind the camera and telling the non- chalant seniors who have been advanced to the superlative degree in flirting, bluffing, dreaming, gadding, and inspiring to watch the birdie, the mystery is herein explained. Those champions of the candid camera to whom you, no doubt, fell a victim were the members of the newly-organized Photographic Society. Shortly after the Society was organized, senior members were approached concerning work for the 1936 yearbook, for which an elaborate photographic layout had been planned by way of variety. The Photographic Society at once went to work on the difficult assignment of supplying illustrations and making various photographic records around the school. Its search for beauty in the Westfield High School was not particularly productive because the high school is not beautiful. However, a number of symbolic pictures were secured to pre- cede the main sections of the book, and snapshots were taken of Senior Day, school activities, and the famous Superlatives.” These pictures were taken, developed, printed and enlarged by members of the Society. The meetings of the group are informal affairs held every Tuesday in Room 307 and every student who owns a camera and is interested in photography may join. At present there are only nine members. These pioneers spend their time discussing new developments in the field of photography and criticizing the work of the members. When not learning from the experience of others, the youthful photographers are sure to be taking a shot” at something or somebody, sometimes from the windows of their luxurious quarters. This year, President Howard Rink has been assisted by David Mitchell, secretary; Donald Huth, treasurer; and Wilbur Bogart, program chairman. Other members are William Blount, Robert Buchanan, Grant Leonard, Guy Hopper, and William Kelly. Mr. C. Blair Rogers is the sponsor. 100 AST year when the Hi’s Eye was founded by a group of students under the guidance of Mr. Robert L. Foose, journalism was only a minor course of study in the curriculum of the school. The newspaper, at that time, was also regarded merely as a minor venture. The first few experimental issues proved a success, however, and now the Hi’s-Eye” as well as the journalism courses are considered a major undertaking in our school life. The pages of this bi-weekly publication are filled with up-to-date news of the activities in the school and also furnish an abundance of feature material to add to its interest. The paper serves as a complement rather than as a rival to the school magazine which is devoted largely to the work of artistic and lit- erary groups in the various classes. The students who do the writing are for the most part members of the Journalism II class, while the students of the first year class are groomed for this task by writing school news for the town publications. During the past year there has been notable improvement in layout, and interest has been added by the introduction of many cuts formerly used in the yearbook. One of the most popular issues was that issued on All Fools' Day, containing a wealth of engaging foolery and many strange and incongruous illustrations. Although the paper was practically in its infancy, it was decided to enter it in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s annual contest for newspaper excellence. The judges awarded the HiVEye” a second place, proof of its quality. This year's staff included Erik Anderson, editor-in-chief; Donald Pollock, managing editor; Mary Lou Wilcox, news editor; Elaine Unger, feature editor; John Ryan, sports editor; Charles Turner, business manager; and Herbert Wil- son, associate business manager. 101 Photo by Curt Focmcr 102 Athletics The football squad opened practice the first week in September with bright prospects. The material for the line was exceptionally good even though back- field material was problematical; so Westfield felt another good football year was due. On September 28 the team opened the season at Somerville where it tied an exceptionally strong team 6-6. The following week the team defeated Mill- burn 20-7 on its home field. October 12 the team trounced North Plainfield 9-0. In this game the team experienced a number of injuries. The next three weeks the team played three outstanding games in which the line exhibited fine football. With a new baekfield trying to play as an experienced unit in each game, however, the team seemed to lose confidence and for the first time in years then lost three consecutive games without scoring: Roselle, 14-0; Columbia, 19-0; and West Orange, the state champions, 12-0. On November 9 the team played Bound Brook and defeated a good team 14-2. The team met its arch rival, Plainfield, on November 16 and lost a heartbreaking game, 7-0. In a snowstorm on November 23 the team defeated Summit 8-0 and wound up the season with a splendid victory, 24-0, over Nyack, N. Y., on Thanksgiving Day. While this team’s record is probably not so good as that of some of its predecessors, it has one outstanding quality. In mid-season after having its morale shattered, it came back to win three out of the last four games, con- clusive proof of the famous Westfield spirit. FOOTBALL 104 CHEER LEADERS At the first call of the season, many girls and more boys than usual ar- rived at the gymnasium at eight o'clock. Hereafter in the early morning, lusty yells reechoed from those barren walls. Under the capable direction of Miss Gertrude Swift with the aid of four veteran leaders, cheers bounded into full swing. Each week new members who had worked faithfully and improved steadily were given their chance of working with the squad. Although a dif- ferent captain was chosen each week, Martin Kestenbaum was unanimously elected honorary captain at the end of the season. Cheer leading was run on an entirely di fierent basis this year. For the last few games a permanent squad was chosen which worked together with the idea of perfect unison. It was not only considered work but also fun. Everyone was well acquainted and it was through this friendly group spirit that pep meetings were always so successful. It was also possible to hold outdoor cheer meetings on Washington Campus for the purpose of gaining perfection and skill. At the close of the season, out of the many students who participated in cheer practice, five girls and five boys were selected as the honorary squad; namely, Ervanna Cummings, Marjorie Jones, Mary Alice Thomas, Ernestine Bold, Lois Welch, Martin Kestenbaum, Martin Sargent, Claude Seda, Harry Peter- son, and Minor Frost. 105 True to last year's prediction that the Swimming Team would improve, the Westfield tankmen proved their mettle at the end of the season. This is extremely encouraging for future prospects as the last four meets certainly showed the traditional Westfield fight. Although the first of the season was somewhat depress- ing, the swimmers splashed their way to four straight victories at the end of the season. Blair Academy, Rutgers Prep, Rahway and Pingry were the four teams to taste defeat at the hands of Westfield’s Blue and White mermen. Mr. William Cozzens, one of our newer professors, coached and helped the boys along, sharing in defeat and victory alike. He finally, to their delight, crowned the season by going for a forced swim at the last meet. The squad unfortunately possessed but one of last year’s lettermen and only three of last year’s team. The 195 5-36 team was made up mostly of sophomores together with a few tankmen from the upper classes. This means that the team will have a chance to stick together and improve individually as well as collectively for at least two years. This should make for a fine Westfield High School Swimming Team in the future. At the State Meet at Rutgers, Gibson Scheffer placed fourth in the 50-yard free style event. The 150-yard medley team composed of George Skrba, back- stroker; Captain Henry Harley, breaststroker; and Gibson Scheffer, free style, placed fourth also. Nine of the merry mermen received letters in a squad of about twenty. S W I M M I N 106 At the close of the indoor season the tracksters had won the Northern New Jersey Championship title. In this same meet the mile-relay team set a new record. In addition the boys annexed two state-championship relay crowns includ- ing the mile-relay and the medley relay. Robert McCoy won the only individual state championship, taking a brilliant first place in the quarter-mile at the St. Benedict's meet. Later, the team took second place behind Thomas Jefferson of Elizabeth in the county championship, but won four events. The outdoor season opened with the mile-relay teams, entrance in the State Championship Relay at Long Branch. The local cinder stars ran second to Kearny High in time although winning their heat by a large margin. On Anri I 24 and 25 this relay team journeyed to Philadelphia to participate in the annual Penn Relays where they were entered in two events. Running a beautiful race the boys, who sported their new silk pants, won their sectional relay in the fast time for that crack of 3:32.3, but the competition proved a little stiff in the National Champion- ship and a sixth place was the best that could be had. The most outstanding runners and point getters of the past season have been Bob McCoy, Pump” Vella, Walter Homer, Joe Reid, Ralph Martin, Irvin Felt- man, and Frank Feely. No small credit is due to Mr. Goodrich who has had entire charge of track this year. He has done a fine job as the records indicate. 107 The 1936 basketball season was not looked forward to with any great enthusiasm. But the students reckoned without the seasoned letter-men and Coach Joe Freeman. Warm-up drills were given, and when the first game arrived the Blue- and-White netsters sallied forth to meet DuneHen and trounced them by the score of 3 5-10. This, of course, made the student body sit up and take notice. Was this an accident? The team proved conclusively that it was not, by beating, in rapid succession, North Plainfield, the Alumni, Scotch Plains, Columbia, and Plainfield. Without a doubt, the closest game of the season was the encounter with Plainfield. At the end of the game we were trailing, 29-28. But thirty seconds remained to play. In those few remaining seconds, Dan Goodfriend, one of our most dependable men, came through with a long shot to win the game 30-29. On our next encounter with Plainfield we were beaten by a narrow margin. Our only other defeat was suffered at the hands of Bound Brook. The squad showed at all times a thorough ground knowledge of the fundamentals. As a result of our excellent record, we were invited to play in the N. J. S. I. A. A. basketball tournament. Our first round was with Rahway. Coming through in brilliant style. Coach Freeman’s proteges fought up from beneath to beat a game Rahway team. But our next opponents, West Orange, proved our Waterloo. In spite of the valiant efforts by the team we lost by a score of 36-26. BASKET BALL 108 B A S E B A L L As was irue in basketball, a new coach was on hand to take charge of the baseball team. Mr. Brose E. Thompson was appointed to this position. Garbed in new uniforms, the team beat Millburn and Plainfield in the first two games. Patil Satterthwaitc, veteran left-hander, and Charlie Miller, a new- comer, seemed destined to become the regular pitchers after these two contests, with Daniel Bliwise in reserve. Columbia High School's strong team came to town and crushed the Blue and White with an avalanche of base hits together with some fine pitching by their acc southpaw, Howie Murphy. After the first three games Coach Thompson had rather definite opinions as to the strength and weakness of his team. Although Miller and Satterthwaitc were top-notch twirlers, two regular pitchers were hardly enough to serve the team satisfactorily. The small number of pitchers was balanced, however, by a fine crop of infielders, most of whom were juniors. Frank Kennedy at third base, Ben Hargraves at second, Martin Howarth at short stop, and Martin Burke at first base formed the regular infield, with Harry Peterson and Frank Hafcrbier as capable reserves. The outfielders who performed regularly were Nick Nardiello, George Miller, John Rumpf, and Marty Burke who also divided first base duties with Harry Peterson. Johnny Ryan and Joe Guise were the other outfielders on the squad, while Dan Goodfriend served his third year behind the bat. A group of hard-hitting juniors and Mr. MelansorTs large junior Varsity squad will be on hand for next year’s team. 109 As the 1936 tennis season opened with only two lettermen in the line-up, the prospects for a successful season seemed rather hopeless. With thoughts of building a team for future years, rather than concentrating on a winning season, uppermost in mind, Mr. Frederick T. Rope, the new coach, started the season playing with a seven-man team insead of the standard five. This system afforded more boys a chance to play. The season started off rather inauspiciously, as the team dropped the opening match to Plainfield. Mr. Rope’s new system seemed to be popular with the players, however, and proved itself to be worthwhile. Because of the poor condition of the local tennis courts, the boys were compelled to go to Plainfield to practice during the early part of the season. Their diligent practice was amply rewarded, though, for in their next match they were victorious with North Plainfield as the victim. At this stage of the season, the new system seemed to be working satisfactorily, and even more so when the team registered decisive victories over Pingry and Millburn. During these first four matches, Bill Sims, Howard Dietz and Bob Rink were playing in the singles with Don Pollock and Harold Anderson, making up one doubles team and Martin Sargent and Everson Pearsall, the other doubles players. John Royer, Howard Almy and Morris Carroll are the other players on the squad. Fortunately six members of the squad will be with us next year; so con- siderable development in this sport may be expected. TENNIS 110 GOLF The 1936 Golf Team, under the direction of Coaches Johnson and Allen and the management of Henry Ricardo, are confident of a successful season Of course, the loss of last year’s State Champion, Bobby Wilkinson, and Edward Fogarty, three-year letterman, was keenly felt, but three let termen are back plus a number of promising candidates. With the kind co-operation of Echo Lake, Locust Grove, and Shackamaxon Country Clubs, the team has been able to use their courses for practices and home matches The State High School Tournament which will be played on the Locust Grove course again this year will be the high point of the schedule. The key positions this year are held by the last year's lettermen. They are Tony Urcuioli, Tony Ferro, and Joe Havens. The chief contenders for the other positions are Bill Engesser, Nick Druzek, Joe Mudge, James Tingley, Millard Gamble, Claude Leaman, and Charles Johansen. The schedule includes several new opponents and presents a rather difficult campaign. Montclair, Princeton, West Orange, Long Branch, North Plainfield, and Linden are the opponents who must be met and overcome. There will be one home match and one away match with each of these teams. In spite of the difficulty of the schedule, the boys fee! confident of their ability, and, with a little Juck, they should have a very successful season. This year’s Junior Varsity was initiated and is under the supervision of Mr. Edmund C. Allen. The team will afford the members training for next year’s 111 This important organization is rapidly becoming one of the most important student bodies in our high school. It is made up of a girl representative from each homeroom and was organized six years ago by Miss Swift. Originally the committee met to discuss various problems which arose in girls’ athletics. Now it handles practically all girls’ business concerning athletics. Each Thursday the committee meets in the girls’ lunchroom under the direc- tion of Miss Swift with Jeanette Cubberly presiding as the able chairman. Barbara Nash has proved a very efficient secretary and Marjorie Jones, an excellent vice- chairman. Last year the committee gave its first dinner which was a great success. However, this year’s was even more so. Mothers of the girls and the faculty were guests at dinner in a nautical setting. Even the girls serving were appro- priately costumed. Numerous skits were presented and many deserving awards made to the girls well known for their athletic ability. Because these banquets have proved so entertaining, an annual custom has been established. This year the Westfield girls held an All State Athletic meeting. Represen- tatives from about forty different towns attended this meeting where numerous discussions concerning girls’ athletics were conducted. The point system, finance, and other interesting problems were discussed in informal groups. The results of these discussion groups were reported on in a General meeting. The meeting proved very worth while and all the representatives seemed to enjoy their visit. The G.A.C. members have enjoyed working on this committee very much and the girls hope that it will continue to build on the foundation so well laid. GIRLS ATHLETIC COUNCIL Qirls Cltklehc [Pageant 'Just a little (puff) bit (puff) farther,” (puff, puff) and Hurry up, it’s almost time to go on!” were the most plaintive cries of the GirlsT Physical Education Program this year. After working untiringly for over a month, practically every night after school until at least five o'clock. Miss Swift and her little troupers put the final product on our stage March sixth. Not many of us will forget that excellent performance very soon and all those concerned are to be most highly commended. There were about eighty-five girls who took part in this gigantic undertaking, including the girls5 orchestra, the stage staff, and the cast. The boys all agree that keeping track of women is a rather intri- cate job. Therefore, imagine all the difficulties encountered when tracing Women in Sports from 776 B. C. to 1936 A. D., a period of about 2700 years! As the eleventh modern Olympiad is being celebrated this year, the program dated from 776 B. C. when the first account of the ori- ginal Olympic festival was recorded. The four main events of that first period were portrayed in tableau form; namely, the Torch Bearer from the Torch Races which began the Games; the Javelin Thrower (the javelin being used by almost every Greek child) ; The Charioteer in her beautiful chariot drawn by four fine horses; and the graceful Discus Thrower. To conclude this period, an olive wreath was presented before the statue of Hera to one of the contestants by a judge, while two other judges looked on. In the next period, known as the Age of Chivalry,” five gay young peasant girls pantomimed Hot Cockles,55 a game similar to Blindman’s Bluff,” and one of the most popular of the time. Morris Dancing seemed the most characteristic of the physical activities during the sixteenth century. The six troupers made ex- cellent trippers” and of all the people in dear old Westfield High School they certainly ought to have the most luck. Just think of all the times they knocked on wood! The prim young ladies in black, of the ISfO’s, made club swing- ing look like child's play, but just try to twirl two one pound clubs for ten minutes straight. Roller skating, archery, and bathing were the most popular sports of the Gay Nineties and they are still outstanding in the sports pro- gram today. Skipping from the Gay Nineties up to our childhood days gives us all a good chance to witness what we looked like when we were young and innocent and played jacks and skipped rope. As we advanced to the modern day of Physical Education we saw part of what our winter program boasts—apparatus, stunts, and tap dancing to the modern tunes. 113 Cithletic fPageant 1.

This is a difficult honor to earn and only those having three hundred points are eligible. This year several underclassmen and ten seniors received the award, namely, Jeanne Adams, Harriet Decker, Irene Diefenbach, Barbara Griswold, Barbara Nash, Lois Welch, Catherine Bracuto, Dorothy Cameron, Jeanette Cubbcrley, Betty Darlington, Betty Gregory, Jean Hastorf, Marjorie Jones, Evelyn Lengnick, Barbara Plumer, and Mary Alice Thomas, This award is just a small part of the very efficient point system on which all awarded points are based. Practically every Monday and Wednesday afternoons found a large turnout for the seasonal sport being played either in the gym” or on the Washington Campus, and usually the award girls figured prominently. At the Girls’ Athletic Council Dinner held April 29, these girls were pre- sented with other recognitions of their love of sport. Mary Alice Thomas and Jeanette Cubbcrley were given gold bracelets in honor of having earned the highest number of points in the entire school. For having more than four hundred points Betty Gregory, Jean Hastorf, and Marjorie Jones received silver bracelets. Jean Hastorf, Marjorie Jones, and Mary Alice Thomas were given keys because they were so sport loving as to have played on three teams for three consecutive years. Ervanna Cummings and Marjorie Jones attained a cheer leader’s key for their fine work in that capacity during their three years in high school. AWARD GIRLS 116 CHEER SQUAD Those students who were enthusiastic enough to come out every morning at an early hour to practice but were not successful in making the honorary squad certainly deserve commendation for their untiring spirit.

First: We open to the Class of 1937 and the mailman the sacred portals of 300 Elm Street and leave the cellar doors wide open for their inferiors. Second: To continue the long and successful run of a popular play wc leave the duty of beginning life at 8:40 to all teachers and students. Third: To Mr. Edmund C. Allen we bequeath a mackintosh to be used in time of flood, for water follows him everywhere. Fourth: To Billy Sowerwine we bestow Joe Reid's length of leg so that he may be America's hope in the 1940 Olympics. Fifth: With deep sympathy we leave to the Faculty the custodianship of the 27 5,091 blue slips issued by the Wahoo of Wash Off. Sixth: To Benson Buffam, Herbert Twaits, and Joe Mudge we leave the names and addresses of seven Fildpino girls rejected by the sen- ior seekers of Hawaiian belles for foreign correspondence.

Several new members of the Hi-Y reveal their inner selves by coming to school with hair-ribbons, roller skates, and long pants worn short. The days of a quiet rest in some one’s car are over as every- one is assigned a seat in assembly. Turkey and football vie for honors. Miss Allardice becomes a flower vendor. Sophs get particular and have complete rehearsal of class meeting. The Chess Club goes in for building. They are asked to bring boards and men to the meeting. At their annual banquet football players display the elasti- city of appetites curbed by training table rules. Holly wreaths and Christmas carols, to say nothing of the prospect of vacation, bring joy to 756 more or less earnest students. As usual, hordes of over-eager students return bearing book reports and back home work as evidence of New Year’s res- olutions. Due to the conspicuous lack of snow, mid-year exams go on just the same. Seniors start the new term by working very industriously, looking forward to June 10. We thank Lincoln for a day of rest.

After a week’s grace, the underclassmen struggle with igno- rance. It’s all over now, except the shouting. Our fond farewell. And so another year ends with the expression of much sorrow.

The last barrier to his fate stood before him, the door to the Wash Off.” He swung it violently inward, catapulting the last per- son of a long line clear across the room. He fell in behind, and after listening for a while to mutterings across the desk portending hours of detention, stood at last before the Wahoo of Wash Off, behind whose mustache lurked a sardonic smile. Our delinquent took a deep breath; he was about to hear his sentence. Would they wash him off? HOW I BECAME A MUSICIAN Yessir, to put it mildly, I was in a predicament, and it was all my own fault, unless you want to blame John Hoffman. John started the wheels of fate turning when he wheedled me into accompanying him to Mr. Warner's lair one January, twenty years ago. When Mr. Warner had finished his business with John, he turned to me. Would you like to play anything special, or would the tuba suit you all right?” he asked. I gulped, answered that a tuba was just fine, and made my rather precipitate introduction to the field of instrumental harmony. Hours I thumped and blew, fingered and tongued. School closed. It was made plain to me that all would go to naught unless I went to music school in the summer. So I went. Summer school was hard. My lips got sore, my right hand stiff. But I made real progress, and advanced in my own estimation from mediocre to lousy.” But the real test came on a Tuesday in the fall. To look at, my tuba was a shapeless agglomeration of plumbing, with very little threat of violence apparent. Even when played with the player sitting on a substantial chair, it showed little of its potentialities. But when it was strapped on me, and I was expected to march in step and play a sharp, harmonious note at every footfall, then I realized the fullest extent of its demoniacal possibilities. With every step came a swift tug on my neck, and a swift kick at my stomach, and a sharp clip on my lips, pounding them against my teeth. At the precise moment of this last, I had to give my toot, since the basses help the drums out in rhythm. Well, you can see what I was up against. The next day was our first public performance. It was too late to back out, and I wouldn't have for a fortune. Now in my mature years I occupy a position in the Westfield Band which brings me much pleasurable recreation after my day of exalting duties as vice-president of Electrical Wizardry, Inc. Cordon R.
