Richard C, Wilson, Editor-in-Chief. A CON Foreword . Dedication Faculty . . Classes . . Organizations Ath!e-tics . Features . E TRIBUTE To Gaston B. C-esner, as tangible evi- dence of our esteem for his earnest assistance and his distinguished record as a teacher, this seventeenth issue of the WEATHER VANE ANNUAL is dedicated. Mr. Gesner, the head of our High School French Depart- ment, was born in the French industrial town of Tour- coing, which is the last town in France on the Paris- Brussels railroad. There he attended, as a boy and young man, L'lnstitut Colbert, a preparatory school. On November 28, l9l3, he was called for service in the French army. While he was serving his three year period of enlistment, war was declared and Mr. Gesner was in one of the first French regiments at the front. ln the first battle of the Marne he was seriously injured and received the Croix de Cuerre for bravery in action. While recup- erating in Marseille, Mr. Cesner attended the Uni- versity which conferred the degree of Bachelier-es-Sciences upon him. Also while at Marseille Mr. Cesner studied singing under Professor Edouard Choppin, formerly first baritone of the Paris Opera. in April l9l8 Mr. C-esner came to America to study mining engi- neering at Columbia University. He changed his course, however, and became a teacher of French. He taught in a variety of places,'including Havana, Cuba, but since i925 he has taught in West- field, where he has been unusually successful. Mr. Cesner, whose main ambition was to become an actor and singer, was deflected from his course by friends and relatives. His advice to young people is, Set a goal for yourselves, strive toward it, and never let others turn you from it. ADMINISTIQATICDN Supervising Principal Charles A.

Long John, the boy with the prep-school manner, is the willing crrand boy for anyone in need and is particularly fond of picking up weary sophomore girls in his ever-present car. He might be called the heavy-humor editor of the Weather Vane. SAMUEL ARBES Baseball C2, 3, 41. This arch cutter has tormented a number of teachers in his time, but he is the soul of reliability on the diamond. Sam, who works at a local diner, throws the pots and pans around with gusto and also argues vociferously with Mr. Rope, especially in Battiato's defense. CHARLES BAAKE French Club C5, 413 Community Fair C313 Senior Play Usher C41. Despite the omnipresent brief case, suggestive of studiousness, there is a sense of humor and a geniality which makes this modest lad a friend to all who know him. Chester', divides his time between Boy Scout work and the DeMolay. His chief joy is derived from expounding his conception of Utopia as he found it last year in Florida. HELEN BACKUS Nominating Committee C413 Mask and Mime C413 Latin Club C2, 313 Spanish Club C413 Photoplay Club C41. When Helen does her daily sight translation in Latin IV, we are at once :aware of her New England origin. If Princeton were co-ed, Helen would not bc going to Elmira next year. She is very fastidious in her choice of drivers and stays at home on rainy days. BRUCE BAGGER B. A. C.

Tall, serious C?1 Bruce takes a lot of ribbing from his Hi-Y mates and bears up well under it. A conscientious co-operator once pinned down, Bruce is a big man in class affairs. A DOROTHY BARNES Annual Strange to say, everybody seems to know that this reserved blonde has interests in Roselle. Dorothy is a knitter par excellence, having achieved a sweater in 365 days, but she still persists and says she likes it. She is very dependable and efficient and will make some one a capable secretary. rw-J. .Q DEN!

Dene is rather diminutive but has ways of making her presence felt. Artist, student, and business woman, Dene is one of the influential members of our class. Even physics does not terrify her. RAMON BATIATO Finance Committee 12, 315 Senior Play Tickets 1415 Mask and Mime 12, 31. Whether Ray is nominating people from the floor or selling tickets at the door, he always has that pleasing smile and may be thinking of Anne. Be tactful and avoid arguments when talking with him about those General tires he sells. Ray needs no hair tonic for that mop of black wavy hair. NANCY BAYLIS Program Committee 1215 Latin Club 1215 French Club 12, 315 Spanish Club 1415 G. A. C. 13, 415 Red Cross Council 13, 415 Senior Play Committee 1415 Community Fair 1315 Annual 1415 Girls Gym Program 141. Nance excels in almost anything, whether it be hockey, basketball, or Spanish. Winter sports are her pet passion, but sunny California seems to have some charms.

With a bow tie around his neck and a sophomore on his arm, this super- senior has gone places this year. Dit, our football co-captain, is a skiing enthusiast who expects to perfect his art at Bowdoin. MARGARET BELCHER Class Song Committee 1215 Weather Vane 12, 3, 415 Annual 1415 French Club 12, 3, 415 Latin Club 12, 3, 415 Mixed Chorus 13, 415 Christmas Program 12, 31. Stories, as well as musical notes, flow easily from Margaret's versatile pen. She is an accomplished pianist and is making progress in music composition. In spite of numerous activities she has managed to maintain a splendid record. BETTY BEYER Class Secretary 1315 Latin Club 1215 French Club 1315 Cheer Squad 12, 3, 415 G. A. C. 12, 3, 415 A.

The peppiest cheer leader is one reason why our football players can't keep their minds on the ball. Betty is a smoothie' liked by all and excels in basketball. seventeen If . 5 Q .3452 -,LkW,.va-.4-asia . . ,-Vw-ll Mk M 4. ARMANDO BIAZ10 Orchestra 12, 315 Band 12, 3, 41. When dressed in his band uniform, Beal is the object of many girls' affections. Perhaps his winning ways make him the crack candy seller of Pecan Feasts. This curly-haired little clarinet player has won the hearts of many students as he is one of the peppiest and most active in the class. WILLIAM C. BLOUNT Civic Committee 12, 3, 41g Athletic Council 1313 Hi's Eye 1313 Forum 12, 3, 41g Spanish Club 3, 41, Football 1315 Track 12, 315 Senior Play 141. Big Bill stepped out as a rising young journalist in the Senior Play. An ardent lover of the great out- doors, Bill keeps in the van on every hike with his lengthy stride. He adds much to the spice of a campfire with his droll reminiscences. ' RUTH BLAUVELT Weather Vane 12, 3, Editor-in Chief 41, Annual 131, Senior Day Committee 141 3 Nominating Committee 121, Latin Club 121, Girls' Gym Program 12, 3, 41. Interviewer, poet, teller of tales, Ruth so deftly handles words that we won- der why we hadnit thought of them. Sagamore and Weather Vane preserve her masterpieces for posterity and even the printer reads her humorous essays. RICHARD BOETTGER Junior Prcm Decoration Committee 1313 Academic Committee 1415 Slide Rule Club 141, Swimming Team 13, 41. Dick is that good-looking boy seen around school wearing the letter he received for swimming. We hear he is a Romeo with the girls of the Sophomore Class. Dick's hobby is col- lecting trinkets from his affairs His likable personality and willingness to help others make him popular. eighteen WILLIAM C. BLOUNT Art Club 1413 Football 12, 31, Track Manager 12, 3, W41g Senior Play Committees 141. Bill is the happy-go-lucky fellow of our class. As he is a skillful designer of posters, we predict for him a future in the field of commercial art. When it comes to women, Bill is quite Sullen. He is found frequently in the main hall looking them over. THOMPSON BOCCS Finance Committee 1413 Annual 1415 t French Club 13, 413 Slide Rule Club 1413 Tennis 13, 413 Band 13, 41, Orchestra 131. Humorous Andrew Thompson Boggs III, Don Juan on and off the stage, blew in from Pennsylvania with his dynamic personality, brief case, hair comb, and suspenders. Tan, terrific Tommy really experiments in Chem. Lab. Although he swings in many instruments, it is his clarinet playing that will be missed. . . W., QM ies! LEO BONORDEN Track 121, Tennis 13, 41. Leo thinks that the best thing about playing tennis with a girl is the girl, but on the tennis team he offers real opposition. Making model airplanes and designing automobiles are, among the hobbies of our tall silent mathe- matician. Leo's quietness shrieks aloud in the setting provided by thc boys of 1938. IOSEPHINE BRAXTON Oliice 13, 41. Always full of fun and pep is jo, whose favorite diversion is dancing to the hottest swing music available. ,Her plurnpness, due to a hearty appe- tite, adds to her jolliness which is very apparent. Everyone is'aware of Jo's prowess in the field of sports. , .

Never too busy to talk--that's Jane! Miss Bible's choice for champion of chatterboxes, Jane usually announces her arrival with her infectious giggle. A whiz at chemistry and biology as well as hockey and basketball, piquant little Jane excels in all save balancing. CLARENCE BRIANT Academic Committee 131. If ever there was a teacher's head- ache, this senior may be termed as such. Miss Pelton has acquired a defi- nite gray in her hair since Clarence has entered her classes. All in all we think Clarence can be well termed a happy-go-lucky, likeable fellow. 2 MARY BOXILL Latin Club 12, 31g French Club 1413 Weather Vane 12, 3, 415 Hi's Eye 12, 31g Senior Play Committee 1415 Activity Tickets 131. Mary is in her glory when she is in her sailboat, Redwing, at the shore. However, since she can't sail in the winter, she spends this time reading the most intellectual books, writing rip-roaring adventure stories, and listening to opera. Mary Berenda rivals Mr. Rope in penmanship. SHIRLEY BUNCE Civic Committee 1215 Senior Play Committee 1413 Annual 1413 Library Council 12, 3, 415 French Club 12, 31, Latin Club 12, 315 Mask and Mime Club 1215 Literary Club 141: Gym Program 13, 41. We'll miss exuberant grey-eyed Shirley, who loves us all and spares no one. If you doubt anyone or anything, ask this combination of twinkling irony and kindness. Do you desire a new philosophy of life, curly hair, conver- sational ease? Go to Shirley. nineteen HARRY BURWELL ALFRED CIRALDO CONSTANCE CLARK twenty GEORGE BURKE Catalyst Club 13, 41, French Club 12, 31, Track 1415 German Evening 141. Joe Goon, Slurpy, Billie and a speeding Model A Ford coupe with an oversize horn identify a carefree youth, notorious for his aversion to the law. An obliging ent,' when asked for a lift, he is probably found not quite so helpful in Mr. W. E. Johnson's physics class. Mask and Mime 1415 Art Club 1413 Football 12, 31, Track 12, W3, 41g Senior Play Committee 141. Speedy is the tall handsome silent brute who has trouble with two things- Shakespeare and running into Walls, He makes a very good companion and loyal friend. He has a yen for hot music and Jimmie Lunceford is his man. Speedy is proud of the W on his sweater. DOROTHY CHRISTIANO Finance Committee 131. Although Dot is a demure, bashful girl, her friends find her jolly and full of fun. She is fond of Shakespeare, especially Lamb's Tales, and when Dot is not reading a book, she is to be found in the movies at Cranford. Her one desire is to travel to Hollywood to see a movie in the making. Indoor Track 12, 3, W41g Outdoor Track 12, 3, W41. Al is commonly known as Tinsel and Rag-face to his Arrow Club friends. He is an interested Detroit Tiger fan, hoping that some day he will fill the shoes of Hank Greenberg. Al was one of the stars of the track team until an appendectomy forced him to hang up his spikes. ANNE CLARK Civic Committee 1413 French Club 1413 Latin Club 1415 Junior Red Cross 1413 Senior Play Committee 141. A charming little figure, wearing orange pussy-wool scarf and mittens knitted by her own fingers and leading a little cocker named Bunky, took hearts by storm and wrested from us scholastic honors. This Illinois star has proved one of our most active seniors, having handled outside publicity for the play. Collectors Club 12, 31, Forum 12, 3, 419 Latin Club 12, 3, 41, Senior Play Committees 1415 Archaeological Club 12, 31. A born globe-trotter and as independent as the Eighth Avenue Subway, generous, ever-smiling Connie knows her Bermuda onions. Our Number One Nazi pedals her bicycle about Germany and Heils Hitler with gusto. Packing a dozen fairs in her Chevy, debating, and shopping in New York are her pet diversions. -, , ---- ,gifs -----J.-, I EDITH CLARK French Club 12, 3, 43g Latin Club 123g Cheer Squad 123g Mask and Mime 13, 43, Glee Club 13, 433 Gym Program 143, Spanish Club 133. ' Edie claims an altitude of four feet, eleven and one-half inches, but every- one thinks the half superfluous. Lehigh and Suffield receive the brnefits of her charm, although she is footloose and fancy free. Edie tackles tasks wi h a smile and plenty of umph. LEROY CLARK Archaeological Society 12, 3, 43g German Evening 12, 3, 43. If you see a lad wandering through the desolate jungles of Picton as if hc's lost a prize possession, it's Roy, the arch-disturber of the Indian's rest, searching for relics. He enjoys drawing on his experience in New Mexico for material for translation into German.

Margie has a smile that could melt your heart at one glance. Where Cleo goes, Margie also goes, for she is the star passenger. A gorgeous complexion and wavy brown hair are great endowments to say nothing of her famous laugh. You should see her ride! FRANCES CONOVER Academic Committee 1235 Forum 1235 Library Council 1235 Glee Club 13, 433 Gym Program 1435 Music Festival 13, 43. Blonde, slim, and carefree, Fran has a natural blush that is most captivating. As sunny of disposition as of hair Fran possesses a friendliness which endears her to everyone. Fran doesn't spend much time on homework, but it takes time to keep up an extensive correspondence and to learn to cakewalk.

If you happen to see a young girl in a very odd position, don't get excited! It is only Charlotte trying to get an especially striking picture. A good arguer with a last word complex, she makes a very lively companion. Her theme song should be Better Late Than Never. MARTIN CREE Easter Play 143, Senior Play 143, Mask and Mime 143. That tall, dark, curly-haired senior wandering lazily through the halls is Bud, the boy who does Lu's shorthand. Although Westield High is new to Martin, he has gained an enviable reputation. We shall always remember his excellent performances in Growing Pains and the Senior Play. twenty-one l IACK CRICHTON Treasurer 12, 413 Football 12, 3, W413 Basketball 13, W413 Base- ball 12, 3, 413 Red Cross Coun- cil 12, 3, 41. Our handsome basketball captain also excels in baseball and football. Jack, one of the best-liked Seniors, doesn't believe in anything but the real Mc- Coy. This Fred Astaire of the dance floor has also proved himself a very able class treasurer.

If you hear a peculiar laugh while walking down the corridor, you may be sure it comes from Jean. A good sport who is lots of fun. Jean en- joys horseback riding and acknowledges a desire for A New Romance, but where Joe's concerned, the odds are against her.

Capability is written large on Laura who was one of the most energetic committee chairmen of the Senior Class. Although her hobbies and in- terests are varied, the trumpet seems to call her and she gives most of her time to the orchestra and band. twenty-two MAUDE L.

Melting dark brown eyes are only one of Dede's claims to beauty. When not careening around corners in her car, she divides her time between house parties at Lehigh and week-ends at the farm. Cedar Crest will welcome this friendly and vivacious young lady.

Excelling in academic subjects and art, this auburn-haired damsel is the pride of the class and one of its two play- wrights. She swears that work is her pet aversion, but her remarkable record makes us skeptical. Hs..--1-,.,..4 .H X. l Y ,, ie,-W--EM ,IUIMQ-gasasns .13 .13.?,,-poswsfgwa: ROBERT P.

Peter has been the stalwart in the var- sity football line for two years. An ad- vocate of sports and an able goalie in hockey, he naturally follows the big- time games. Although he enjoys teas- ing girls, he has a heart as large as his supply of wit. MARY DITTO Senior Day Committee 141g Finance Committee 1413 Latin Club 12, 31g Tennis 12, 3, 41g Basketball 12, 3, 415 Baseball 12, 31. Dinzl and Egert grow rich on girls like Mary, for they induce them to pose in bathing suits and then sell the result. This vivacious chatterbox is interested in pretty clothes, 1-ine cars, and Red Dog. aid HAROLD EHLERS Academic Committee 1313 Archaeology Club 12, Vice-President 3, 41. Hap, who is one of the more reticent members of the class, has been known to loosen up among intirnates. He en- joys target shooting with his trusty twenty-two. His cousin and he form one inseparable company. The future will show what Hap was doing while we were laughing. .12 'A .ff ?'5'5'7'f'i '?1'f ANNE DRAKE Senior Play Committee 1415 French Club 12, 3, 41, Glee Club 13, 415 Latin Club 121g Mask and Mime 1313 Annual 141. Red hair usually denotes a violent temper, but Anne is as placid as a mill- pond. She manages to keep on the Honor Roll though she spends hours at the movies. Those who know her well attest her true friendship and her deep-rooted affection for certain people. VIRGINIA EVANS Most blonde of' all 1938 blondes is Virginia who is almost always seen with another very blonde young girl. A really slender girl, Virginia can afford to laugh at the dieters. Although her classmates think of her as truly reticent, it is certain that in the company of her intimates she is quite voluble. twenty three 1- si, l twenty-four PAUL EWING One of those happy-go-lucky fellows who somehow always manage to do the right thing at the right time, Paul has an indefinable something about him that wins him many friends. Paul, who expects to enter a school of forestry, may become one of our chief conservationists. Who knows? Good luck, Paul!

A sudden crash on the stairs behind you or a prostrate figure surrounded by books and papers suggests Margaret. Even though this blunder-buss falls over herself perpetually and asks silly questions, she's an exceptional student and executive. ROBERT FERGUSON Football 1415 Swimming 1W41, Baseball 1413 German Evening 141. Fergy came to us from Columbia last fall, and in this short time he has made an active name for himself in the line of sports. A select few of our girls meet with his approval, but we hear he left Columbia maidens in tears. NANCY FLOOD Nancy is liked by all students for her ability to keep them in good spirits. Although bookkeeping and losing weight are her chief problems, she seems to have many ideas on both subjects. While her favorite hobby is collecting dolls of different lands, talking seems to come second, much to her teachers' regret. We are proud to have had such a traveled member as one of our classmates. HELEN FRASER German Evening 12, 3, 41. Helen, Butch for short, is always to be found in Pat's car waiting for a ride home. Her .chattering and her habit of forgetting homework have proved vexatious to practice teachers. She is one of Miss Dodds' everpresent Deulxche Muedfbfn. Some time ask her about Mimi. GEORGE FRICKMANN A regular job after school has kept George from any active participation in extra-curricular affairs, but has made him a good judge of meat cuts. He is the proud possessor of an excellent camera with which he has had very good resultsg and his other avocation, poultry raising, he plans to make his vocation. He is certainly our authority on chickens.

If you hear a cheery hello look for Sara, the well-known lone observern of all the basketball games, who has plenty of reasons for not wishing to chuck school. This vivacious blonde is an ath- lete of renown and an accomplished jiu-jitsu artist. GILMAN HAND Catalyst Club 1315 Latin Club 131, Track 13, W41g Baseball 1215 Basketball 121, Tennis 13, 41g Senior Play 141. Famed for his fleetness of foot, Gil is the possessor of twinkling legs that benefit the track team. An athletic youth, he is a perennially active partici- pant in sports.

Barbara is the girl who's always par- ticipating in school musical affairs. Al- though this and horseback riding take up a lot of her time, she is never too busy to argue.

Her hair is the envy of every girl and we give her credit for her new crea- tions. This year her interest has turned toward basketball and football. It seems Jack is heading toward Mountain Ave- nue more often and he and Joan are often seen tearing in her Buick. MARY ELIZABETH HANN Glee Club 12, 3, 41. Known to her friends as Betz, Mary Elizabeth has, because of her charming personality, caused a certain senior's heart to skip beats. Besides her weak- ness for the gentleman mentioned, Mary has a fondness for shoes. Serious and hardworking, though active and lively, Betz is bound to succeed in whatever she undertakes. FRED HARRISON Catalyst Club 12, Pres. 3, 41, Slide Rule Club 1313 Mask and Mime Club 1314 German Evening 121. Fred, owner of one of the snappier little runabouts, needs his expert mechanical ability to keep the venerable Ford running. Other than this interest, he aspires to beat the calfskins in a most Krupa-ish manner. He will, no doubt, be remembered more for his drumming than for his hockey playing. IACK HEGKENKAMP Academic Committee 141g Indoor Track 12, W3, W41g Outdoor Track 12, W3, W41. Jack, sometimes heralded as Heggie, a prominent member of the Five Year Club, is one of our most reliable track men. On week-ends jack is frequently seen in the dog wagon, accompanied by one of our numerous smoothies gnaw- ing on hamburgers after a date. On the dance floor, he is a veritable Arthur Murray.

As good a manager as has ever been thrown about by the football team is Al. Studious in his work but a problem to teachers, he is quite entertaining to students around him. He is also the favorite subject of the squeeze play in assembly. GEORGE HESS Football 1W41g Basketball 13, 415 Base- ball 13, 41. The handsome boy with the black curly hair you see on the gridiron and participating in other sports is George Hess. He came here in his junior year and established himself as an athlete, good student and lady-killer. George is backward about coming forward but holds his own outside.

Our red-headed tuba player is noted for pomposity and the ability to argue with teachers. A fine voice, a dynamic per- sonality, and a striking appearance, to- gether with a knowledge of everything worth knowing, make Jack a person to be conjured with.

Jackie is a girl who has an abundance of pep at all times. Her winning smile has won her many friends, all of whcm are envious of her trip to Florida this summer. Her interests in sports vary from skating in the wintcr to bicycling in the summer. We understand that she likes to hitch-hike when her legs get tired from pumping the bicycle. Senior Play Committee 141, Football 131g Swimming Team 12, 3, 41. Little Hope is quite a man about town. With a ready smile, and a twinkle around the eyes, Bob always has a running commentary for the benefit of his neighbors in classes who enjoy his dry humor. He was captain of our B squad and excels in swimming and diving.

Our 5' 9 little Rosario is a familiar and cherished class celebrity. Whatever it may be, plays, musical functions, athletics, committees, or scholarship, Jeanne shows her capability. Jeanette conceals romantic attachments, but we'll bet she doesn't stay home every Saturday night.

This shy, dreamy blonde is renowned not only for her ability to wield a paint brush, but also for her literary talent. She is always cheerful when the mercury drops low enough to enable her to give vent to her passion for ice skating. SUSAN HULINGS Senior Play Committee 141, Annual 1415 French Club 12, 315 Latin Club 1213 Mask and Mime 12, 415 Soccer 1313 Badminton 131. If Sue ever misses her daily coke, 'hands in her homework on Monday morning, or tells an intelligent joke, anything can happen. Although she struggles vainly with her allowance, she doesn't mind Bills. Foreign corres- pondence, search for lost articles, and stage make-up occupy much of laughing Sue's time. ALVENE HULL Entered in Senior Year. French Club 141. Alvene came to Westield in her senior year and while here has proved herself a pleasant companion. A combination of fun, good sportsmanship, and common sense, Alvene is well qualified to discuss rural current topics in her soft low voice, so excellent a thing in woman.

MARIORIE IAFFEE Latin Club 1315 Baseball 12, 415 Soccer 1215 Music Festival 1415 Checr Marjorie, she of the intense blue eyes, is the Titian-tressed damsel whose hair we have all admired.

One of the more quiet seniors, Mary, a grand person, is always willing to help a fellow classmate. An efficient member of the Typing Club, she is sure to succeed in her chosen career, that of secretary. Her intimate friends con- Hded that she is the possessor of the high-pitched giggle. thirty PAULINE IOURDAN Coming from Champagne, Illinois, it is no wonder that Pauline effervescesg in fact, she is in a perpetual state of effervescence. Known for her continuous chatter, she has also made quite an im- pression with her cheery smile. We hope that her ambitions to be a school teach- er will be realized. 3 GRACE KEETS The friends of this diifident young girl always get a great kick out of seeing her blush when they tease her. Grace, the possessor of a sweet face piquantly dotted with freckles, is the envy of many girls and the adored of several boys. She is hopefully looking forward to a thoroughly good time when school days are finally finished.

Betty is the bridge expert of the Senior Class. BETTY KELLY junior Prom Committee 1355 Mask and Mime 12, 3, 453 French Club 12, 35, Spanish Club 13, 455 Girls' Gym Program 145. Betty, noted for her brown eyes and grand sense of humor, loves to talk- especially about her home town, Mer- chantsville, and her friends there. This ardent horsewoman is not quite as en- thusiastic about getting assignments in on time. Sympathy and a supply of Little Audrey jokes are Betty's main assets. FRED KEYES Class President 1455 B. A.

Our president, with his unquenchable sense of humor is seldom seen around school without his blonde shadow. A successful business man, athlete and magician, he surveys the world humor- ously from the platform where he in- troduces notables. We hope his knowl- edge will delight Pennsylvania professors. IACK KENNEY Football 12, 3, W45g Track 12, 3, 45, Basketball 13, 453 Community Fair 135. A yen to play pranks on unsuspecting persons characterizes this tall gridiron star whose wonderful performance in the Somerville game will be long re- membered. Horseback riding is a favorite pastime and Jack is a private in E troop of the Westfield cavalry. He seeks romance on Mountain Avenue and loses W's. NORMA KIRBY Norma, connoisseur of pies, cakes, and cookies, is another of our blue-eyed, pink-cheeked blondes. She has decided to follow nursing as a career and we are sure she will be successful in it. Blue is Norma's favorite color, we no- tice, and her choice in Chryslers cer- tainly proves it. thirty one thirty-two IANE KITSON Academic Committee 1415 Literary Club 1415 Senior Play Stage Committee 141. Who would guess from her outward calm, that within lurk tales of horror and a placid joy in shocking her classmates with gory details?

EDWARD KREUTZ junior Prom Committee 1315 Archaeological Society 1419 Track 13, 41. Eddie, our Miami Sunflower! You remember he's the one in school with the first tan of the year.

CAROLYN KUENNE French Club 12, 315 Spanish Club 131g Glee Club 12, 3, 41. Dark brown hair, dark eyes, and a cheery greeting characterize Carolyn. Her brunette waves are the ambition of many of us, especially on those moist, misty mornings that frequently occur. Between driving her overlarge Packard and waiting for Pat we don't see how she found time for a romance to Bud, but just ask her about those New York trips. ROBERT KUNDE junior Prom Committee 131, Swimming Manager 141. 1930? Can that be? Bob is the other half of the Terrible Twins and Vice- President of the Bachelors' Club 1for refined and feminine men1.

With Janet it's a case of an apple a day keeps the doctor away -but this adds much to lunchtime interests. Her personality and general likeableness will probably get her far, if she doesn't manage to blow herself up completely in chemistry one of these days, or stall the bus just once too often. TOM LA PIA Class President 1215 Academic Committee 13, 415 Annual Business Manager 1413 Spanish Club 1413 Football 12, 3, 415 Basketball 13, 41.

Our daily commuter from Wloodbridge has an interesting and unusual hobby.

An afternoon at the opera, especially to hear Lobengrin, is a bright memory for her. LOWRIE MALCOLM ' Senior Play Committee 141, Catalyst Club 13, 41, Latin Club 12, 3, 415 Slide Rule Club 141, Track 141. This red-headed bass fiddler can be seen almost any Friday concentrating on the familiar strains of a march. He started out with a violin but went on to bigger things.

The brown of Norma's eyes is a sub- ject well worth looking into. Bright, bright hair and a gentle voice con- tribute to her attractiveness.

Polo seems to be Kathleenis main in- terest, as she is always over at the Armory with the horses. You will also find her riding with jean, Joan, and Jerry, her standbys, and trying to get lost.

To say that she's the real McCoy is neither clever nor original, but we mean it just the same. Her vivacious smile and her peppy personality grace every basketball game and cheer on the team, especially the captain. Barb's greatest accomplishment is the art of interpret- ing swing.

Wilson was elected editor-in-chief and Thomas La Pia, business manager. As editorial assistants the class chose lean Pilling, Gladys Vaughan, jeannette Hubbard, and Bernard Mclntyre, and gs assistants to the business manager, selected Bruce Bagger and james avage. With the aid of Bette Millwater, Nancy Baylis, Susan Hulings, Shirley Bunce, and Vernon Morris, members of the staff wrote those verbal bouquets, the write-ups, using the many valuable suggestions submitted by seniors. To enhance the attractiveness of this year's book, two juniors, Dinzl and Egert, Photographers Supreme, were appointed to take candid shots. These together with the art staff composed of Bette Millwater, jack Stelling, William C. Blount, Dorothy Hudson, and Marjorie MacGillivray provided the pictorial material embodying the theme. Other important workers were Ruth Morton, Marjorie Polhemus, Ade- laide Quinn, and Catherine Thomson who efficiently typed all material. Large numbers of students, both seniors and juniors, contributed accounts of sports events and club activities. To Miss Bordner and Miss Howard, however, goes credit for supplying the inspiration and initiative which enabled the staff to assemble the publi- cation, and to Richard Wilson goes the gratitude of the class for his indefatig- able work as editor. WEATH ER VAN E Although it has been possible for the Weather Vane staff to meet only once a month, three very attractive issues have been published and high ratings have been given the publication by two important scholastic press associations. The magazine was awarded a second place in the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association Contest and was given First Honor Rating by the National Scholastic Press Association, an older organization with head- quarters at the University of Minnesota. The fall issue had as its theme historical New lerseyg the winter issue featured entertainment, particularly dramatics and radiog and the spring issue was a miscellany, Several new departments were introduced, notably the Artists' Series and Betty Friese's Column. ln the spring issue a new column supplied by snooping scoopers proved very entertaining. Marked improvement was shown in this year's fiction, and the art work was unusually fine. With graduation the publication will lose many able and devoted workers and contributors, but it is hoped that periods for training new members may be had in school time. If schedules for weekly staff meetings can be arranged, the usual general meetings will be given over to special speakers and enter- tainment features. The magazine was ably edited by Ruth Blauvelt, who with her principal aides, Mary Ann Faw and Marjorie Auster, triumphed over difficulties caused by the necessarily loose organization of the staff. As usual, Miss Bordner and Miss Howard, advisers, were generous with their help and encourage- ment. sixty-nin seventy Hl'S EYE When the Hi's-Eye was first founded, under the guidance of Mr. Robert L, Foose, journalism was considered a minor course in the school curriculum, After the first two experimental issues of the paper, the Hi's- Eye as well as the course in journalism proved a great success. Today, the Hi's-Eye has had four successful years, not as a rival of the Weather Vane, but rather as a sister organ, for the two publications are essentially different. It is the purpose of the Hi's-Eye to provide for the students the best possible feature material and humor as well as news. The students of the journalism l l class, for the most part, handle the writing of the paper, while the students of the lournalism l class are trained by writing the school news for the Leader, Standard, and Bulletin Funds for maintaining the publication free from advertising are raised by the receipts from the bi-annual Community Fair and by a grant from the Student Activities Ticket Fund. The High's-Eye, which received third place in the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association's contest, has been produced by Clason Saunders, editor- in-chief, Dee Walker, managing editor, Herbert Twaits, sports editor, and the students of the journalism l l class. LITERARY CLUB The fourth Thursday evening of every month found the Literary Club assembled at some member's home, prepared for an enjoyable evening planned by Richard Wilson, program chairman. Our topic for discussion this year was modern authors and their works. Each month we studied the foremost modern authors of various literary types, A new feature was the Devil's Advocate. At each meeting one member collected and presented all adverse criticism of the author discussed. This stimulated interesting debates. The November meeting at the home of the secretary, lane Kitson, was a typical Literary Club evening, Reports on modern writers of biography were given, and a literary game of matching authors and titles was played, the winner of which was given a currently popular book as a prize, The meeting was then adjourned for a social hour, during which delicious re- freshments were served to all. In the spring, following the accepted custom of the Literary Club, we attended a dramatic performance in New York City. An enjoyable afternoon was spent seeing The Doll's House. Under the expert guidance of Miss Carol Brinser and Mr. Robert Foose. a splendid program has been carried out by the club officers, William Sower- wine, president, Richard Wilson, vice-president, jane Kitson, secretary, and Paul Cerhardt, treasurer. SEVQTITY-One seventy-two SLIDE RULE CLUB The Slide Rule Club is one of the smaller clubs in the Westfield High School, with membership this year totalling twenty-six. The object of the Slide Rule Club is to further the use of the slide rule in solving mathematical problems of all types. At each meeting lone per monthl, a new phase of work is covered. By the last meeting, the members expect to be efficient in the manipulation of the slide rule. The dues this year were reduced from the usual fifty cents to twenty- five cents on account of the increased number of members. The money collected as dues is used in two ways: first, to pay for the club picture in the Annual, second, to provide a prize given to the winner of a slide rule contest held at the last meeting of the year. The present club is greatly appreciative of the untiring efforts and expert guidance of lvir. Walter E. johnson, jr., the faculty adviser. This year's officers, who were elected at the first meeting in Novem- ber, were President, Richard Wilsong Vice-President, Paul C-erhardtg and Secreta ry-Treasurer, Thompson Boggs. Q.- CATALYST CLUB Through spreading a deeper knowledge of chemistry and presenting programs which are of great interest to its members, the Catalyst Club has accomplished a great deal during the year. Probably the thing most looked forward to is the annual trip to some significant scientific exhibition or institution. This year the club members enjoyed the Student's Science Exhibit at the Museum of Natural History and the Science Exhibit at Rockefeller Center. lt has also been customary for the group to invite some distinguished speaker from a neighboring college or business establishment to talk about some phase of chemistry in which he is interested. This year the Catalyst Club was privileged in having Dr. Addinall of Merck and Company speak about jobs open for chemists today and also about the importance of develop- ments and discoveries in the last ten years in the field of chemistry. During Christmas vacation a few pupils always represent the club at various science exhibits. These make reports at the next meeting. The following were officers this year: President, james Savageg Vice- President, Lowrie Malcolmg Treasurer, Robert Hoffmang and Secretary, Lee Hinterleitner. Mr. Walter johnson advised the group. l seventy-three seventy-fou r ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY Formed in l928, the Archaeological Society has since become a subsidi- ary organization of the Archaeological Society of New jersey. Its purpose is to foster in its members a knowledge and appreciation of the American Indian, especially of those Indians who inhabited New jersey. To this end an interesting field trip was made to Mr. Harold Thompson's camp on the Delaware River, the site of the famous Munsee Council Village. Besides this field trip an extremely varied program was enjoyed by the members. Mr. Charles A. Philhower, the foremost authority on the Lenni- Lenape Indians, addressed the group: Leroy Clark, a wide awake member, gave a talk on Indian lore which he had gathered while in the Southwest and showed photographs of the skeleton which he excavated, and Mr, H. j. Eber- hardt, collector, of Newark, New jersey, and Dr. Frank N. Neubauer lectured. The club members visited and studied the collections in the Trenton State Museum and the Montclair Art Museum and paid their annual visit to Colonel Pearsall's Wigwam where they had the privilege of leisurely examining one of the finest private collections in the United States. The officers of the Archaeological Society during the past year have been President, Philip Launerg Vice-President, William C., Blountg and Secre- tary-Treasurer, Robert Waugh. COLLECTORS' CLUB The Collectors Club is one organization in the school which should have an appeal for everyone. The only requirement for membership is a penchant for collecting something, whether this something is peanut whistles or barrel staves matters not. However, minerals, cameos, stamps, and coins seemed to be the most popular objects for collection among this year's members. As the interests of the club members are so varied, the monthly pro- grams for the most part have been member affairs. At one meeting Thor Andersen displayed his hoard of precious metals and gave an interesting discussion of each metal in his store. Harvey Remick, the vice-president, talked about his arsenal and passed his deadly weapons around, unloaded. By way of variety several members of the faculty provided the group with interesting talks. Mr. Harold Shaterian traced the history of his boat collect- ing and brought with him for display some fine models which he had made. Dr. Frank N. Neubauer enlightened the members with a talli on his stamp collection, exhibiting a collection of Civil War patriotic covers and Confeder- ate stamps on and off cover, together with a collection of commemorative stamps of the United States. The officers were Paul Meierdierck, president, Harvey Remick, vice- president, janney Nichols, treasurerg and Doris Bense, secretary. Miss Ham- mell sponsored the group. l l seventy-five seventy-six RADIO CLUB Last fall a small group of boys led by Vernon Morris decided to hold meetings with the purpose of studying code and having an opportunity to discuss anything they wished concerning the technical side of radio. These meetings were held in the physics laboratory under the guidance of Mr. Walter johnson. The club gathered together buzzers and keys to increase their receiving and sending speeds up to those required by the gov- ernment for an amateur license. There was a great deal of hard work and not much play in this part of the game. Several members took the time and effort to build a small short-wave receiver for which the club bought tubes. Early in February, members of the club, along with students from the speech classes, paid a visit to station WHBI in Newark and were very much interested in the technique of broadcasting. Several people were fortunate enough to speak a few words over the air. The charter members of the Westfield High School Radio Club include Vernon Morris, Myrton C-lover, Cilen Wilson, Robert Brunner, Robert Paine, Robert Faulkner, Lindsay Collins, Guy Overman, and David Thomas. This year they elected Vernon Morris, president, and Robert Paine, secretary- treasurer. GERMAN DEPARTMENT ln the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of . . . Ger- man Evening. Der deutsche Abend has been a regular, long-anticipated event in our school calendar for the past eight years. Die deutsche Abteil- ung has established a fine reputation, and this year it did much to further that reputation. With songs, dances, plays, poems, orchestra, exhibits, and the inimitable German Band, another ne-er-to-be-forgotten German Evening has passed. This year a delegation of four was sent to the German Declamatory Con- test at Rutgers, two of whom won prizes which gave Westfield third place, Those who took part were Lee Hinterleitner, Lucille Stamm, Bruce Bageer, and Bill Sowerwine. Although Passaic High School won the cup, we will be back next year, trying harder than ever to regain possession of it. lt has been said that the German Department is not a club. True, there are no regular meetings, no officers elected, no dues paid, but, instead of having a routine, with a one-hundred per cent following behind Fraulein Dodds we concentrate our energy into the success of one glorious evening. In our work together we form bonds of friendship and tradition that make us proud to be members of the German Department. seventy-seven Seventy-eight EL ATEN EO With the help of Miss Hemphill and Mr. Shaterian, advisers, and the executive committee consisting of Barbara Handy, president, Tom La Pia, vice-president, Ruth jarvis, secretary, and Charlotte Conrad, treasurer, El Ateneo enjoyed a successful year. The two outstanding events of the past school term will be remem- bered as the Christmas Fiesta and the annual trip to the Spanish section of New York. At the Christmas Fiesta, while carols were being sung, the Three Wise Men joined the festivities, and, true to Spanish custom, filled the empty shoes with small gifts. Following this, the well-known and popular Mexican game Pinata was played. Blindfolded, each member took a turn at grop- ing for the bag of sweets which was suspended from the ceiling. When some one succeeded in locating the elusive bon-bons, the bag fell to the tloor and a mad scramble for its contents ensued. The trip to New York on April l3 was particularly enjoyable. After a visit to the Spanish Museum in the morning and an unusual luncheon in a Spanish restaurant, the group topped off the day's festivities with a Spanish moving picture. LATIN CLUB The chief aim of the Latin Club is to foster an interest in the Latin language and the customs of the ancient Romans. The club endeavors to give the Latin students a broader knowledge of Roman culture and a greater familiarity with Latin in respect to its usefulness today. The activities of the club are varied. Early this year an Olympic Coun- cil was presented. The Roman gods were portrayed by various club mem- bers and they held a mock council meeting, in which they discussed the affairs of mankind in a humorous parody of what might once have taken place on Mt. Olympus. The Professor Quiz program, modelled on the radio broadcast of the same name, was another particularly enjoyable one. Six club mem- bers were the contestants and the questions, based on Latin and Roman history, were supplied by the Latin classes. Officers for the past year have been Virginia Pierson, consulg Doris Dayment, scriptorg Peggy Addicks, quaestorg lean Richards, vice-quaestorg and Allan Cook, augur. The club is conducted under the able sponsorship of Mr. Edmund C. Allen and Miss Gertrude E. Foutz. seventy-nine eighty LE QUARTIER LATIN Le Quartier Latin with its two hundred members is not only one of the largest but also one of the most active clubs in the school. Since the main purpose of the club is to further the student's interest in French and French conversation, the language is used almost exclusively during the meetings. At one of the most interesting meetings of the year, a dramatization of the French play Madame, la Marquise was presented after which a game of Bingo was played, The annual exchange meeting with the French Club of Rahway High School, at which Le Quartier Latin presented a short play, was a tremendous success. At the Christmas meeting a play, written and enacted by club members, was equally successful. On March 30, the club went on its much publicized trip to New York where its members enjoyed a French movie, a meal in a French restaurant, and the inspection of the liner Normandie The executive body of the club consists of Theo Kelcey, president: Philip Launer, vice-president, jane Bowden, secretary, and Bill Lowe, treas- urer. Mr, Cesner and Miss Foutz acted as advisers. PHOTOPLAY CLUB Two years ago this club was formed by members interested in better motion pictures. The object is to discuss more fully the technical points of new production, including scenery, make-up, costumes, and color. Re- ports on the movies coming to the Rialto Theatre are given at meetings by the club members. Interesting articles dealing with various phases of movies are read, and Scrapbooks are displayed. At intervals during the year, charts on scenes, costumes, and locations of important motion pictures are posted in the lower hall. The club also runs a column in the Hi's Eye, entitled Minute Reviews, in which a short resume is given of pictures which appear currently at our local theatre. This supplies the school with needed information on coming attractions. On january twenty-second a few of the members attended a state meeting at Proctor's Theatre in Newark and saw the March of Time's Inside Nazi Germany and The Boy of the Streets. Luncheon and dis- cussion followed in Loft's Restaurant. The officers of l937-l938 were President, lane Soudersg Secretary- Treasurer, Ruth Hoffman, Publicity Manager, Doris Daymentg and the Spon- sor, Mrs. Kimball. eighty-one eighty-two ART CLUB The Art Club is composed of students who desire to develop an appre- ciation of art for leisure enjoyment or future profession. The club is extremely popular with the student body, as can be realized by the fact that it is necessary to hold classes four days a week in order that everyone may have an opportunity of attending. Under the able leadership of Miss Howard, with the assistance of William C. Blount, president, Doris Dayment, secretary, and Marjorie Mac Ciillivray, treasurerg the club is carried on in a delightfully informal manner. However, much work is accomplished and for those who are not quite in the mood, there is a victrola handy with all types of music ready to create inspiration. The club works in all mediums, water color, oil, charcoal, pen and ink, pastel, etc. Each member has a choice for desired work. Some do still life sketching, while others paint murals. Two of the murals painted this year are titled ldylls of the King and Mythology, The club has had dif- ferent interesting Speakers and has received the exhibitions of several famous art schools for display. FORUM The Forum, the initiator of the lnterscholastic Forum, which is com- posed of ten schools, is one of the most active organizations in the school. Among the great variety of activities undertaken by the Forum this year was a trip to New York to see a broadcast of America's Town Meeting of The Air. One of the newest developments was an exchange of forum assem- blies with North Plainfield. The evening meetings in which discussion followed dinner were also very popular, The assemblies sponsored by the Forum are perhaps the best-known of all its activities. Through these meetings a great part of the school has been informed concerning the different aspects of the news of today. Because the discussions present all phases of the subject fairly, they enable students to form an unbiased opinion. Thus the Forum has accomplished to a certain extent its purpose: namely, to acquaint high school students with the important events of the day, and to enable them to form sound opinions of their own. The officers are Sponsor, Mr, Frederick Rope: President, Steve Wood- ruff, Vice-President, Vance Richardson: Secretary, Eileen Mundtg Treasurer, Robert Sutton. eighty-three eighty-four LIBRARY COUNCIL Perhaps the organization in our school which is least known, considering the work its members accomplish, is the Library Council. Its numerous duties consist of charging and discharging books, clipping magazines and papers, aiding students in their research, arranging the shelves, and signing library permits. The purpose of the Library Council is to increase and stimulate the interest of students in library work and, as a result, encourage them to continue this activity as a profession. Membership in the organization is open to anyone who is willing to sacrifice two study periods a week or the equivalent, either before or after school. A very interesting trip was made by the sixteen members this year. This was to the very beautiful new high school at Bayonne. ln March the Library Council from Princeton High school visited here and each girl made the daily rounds with one of our members. After school tea and cakes were served in the library. The officers this year were elected as usual from among the two and three year girls, Phyllis Thomas being chosen presidentg Kathryn Onley, vice-president, Valerie Malmar, treasurer, and Beatrice Terhune, secretary. Miss Alice M. Bible and Miss Florence Sandberg acted as sponsors. TYPINC CLUB Some clubs exist merely to give pleasure to their members, but that is not the case with the Typing Club. Purely a service club, this group spends hours in working for others. lts members type minutes for other organiza- tions, tests and other material for teachers, rush work for the office, in fact they type anything that is offered. This year the club has consisted of Catherine Thomson, Robert Thomson. Betty Danner, Mary Kane, Martha Haste, Doris Baker, Stella Ciollombardo, Shirley Bingle, Frances Ponturo, and Evelyn Hartpence. All of these students have been willing to work and have spent much of their spare time working tor various members of the faculty or for organizations requiring typing. Although neither social nor business meetings are held and no officers are elected, all the club members work with a will because they are, in many cases, securing experience in the kind of work which they hope to do outside of school. Their organization is open to all who like to type and are willing and able to give one period a week to the work. Miss Mary Colley is the able and conscientious director of these typists. eighty-five eighty-six RED CROSS COUNCIL Less elaborately organized than usual, the Red Cross Council was never- theless engaged in its charitable work of assisting the unfortunate. As usual the home rooms supported the work by making substantial contributions for much needed relief work. There were no officers elected this year, so all work was accomplished through the aid of class chairmen. Barbara Wallace served as chairman of the Senior Class, while Betty Orr and Shirley Hering acted in a similar capa- city for the lunior Class and the Sophomore Class. Under the direction of these three girls the usual drive for membership was held and the school went over the top in customary manner. Naturally one of the most appealing charities was the annual donation of food to the Children's Country Home just before the Thanksgiving vaca- tion. Gayly labelled cans of choice fruits and vegetables brought to school by the students made a colorful display on the stage at the Thanksgiving ASS6mbly. Come, Ye Thankful People Come and other appropriate hymns were sung under the direction of Miss K. Elizabeth Ingalls, and the charming new superintendent of the home, Miss Cora Could, accepted the gift on behalf of the children. As the convention of the junior Red Cross was combined with that of the adult organization and was held in San Francisco, it was not possible to send delegates this year, MASK and MIME The Mask and Mime Club got off to a good start this year with its fall production of Growing Pains, a highly successful comedy in which Bob Faulkner and Iris Crawford starred. Ot-her school presentations included the Christmas tableaux, the most beautiful in many years, and the Easter Play, The Alabaster Box, a dramatic story of the Resurrection, which was enjoyed by the assembly and parents. Two one-act plays were presented in the monthly meetings, Sauce for the Gosliingsn under the direction of Eileen Donahue and jane Erick, and Won't You Come ln? written and directed by Margaret Dean. Other meitings were devoted to skits and the final meeting was devoted to pic- nic ing. This year the club entered the One-Act Play Contest of the New jersey Forensic League of Secondary Schools, the first venture of this sort in its history. The variety of production offered gave opportunity for all kinds of work ranging from stage-craft and acting, to the business end of the presentation. . Under the capable direction of the sponsor, Miss johnson, and the officers, Anne Satterthwaite, president, Robert Hillier, vice-president, Ruth Sills, secretary: and Keith Lyman, treasurer, the club enjoyed a profitable year. eighty-seven Robert Faulkner Y Dorothy Lewis Ethel Mae Pritchard DRAMA Growing is really painful in Growing Pains Back Dropfl-he Unsung Heroes and Heroines behind the Scenes Play Starsfl, Don juan Carries On 2. Rosario Faces Facts 3, Master and Man Entreat C Weary Thespians T Rosario Hold A Tense Moment In The Easter Play ninety THE SENIOR PLAY Martinez Sierra's delightful comedy, The Romantic Young Lady, was the choice of the Class of i938 for its Senior Play. The amusing lines and unusual situations of the comedy were enjoyed by cast and audience alike. The lively action took place in Madrid, the Madrid before the Civil War, a city of quaint manners and customs. Rosario, the romantic young lady who lived with her thrice-married grandmother and three brothers, bewaileci the fact that while her brothers could go out and enjoy themselves doing just as they pleased, she must sit at home. She craved excitement and she got it when the straw hat of her favorite novelist-although she did not know his identity-blew through the window into the room where she was engaging in romantic revery. The owner, who leaped in after his hat, proceeded to fall in love with her and engaged her as his secretary. Compli- cations arose in the form of another woman, but everything was soon straightened outg and with the blessing of the worldly-wise old grandmother, the couple prepared to live happily ever after. The cast, consisting of jeannette Hubbard, Dorothy Lewis, Lucille Stamm, Barbara Wallace, Harriet lmler, Paul Cerhardt, George Frost, William Cv. Blount, Martin Cree, Thompson Boggs, and William Sowerwine, gave a satisfying performance against the authentic background provided by a group of seniors under the skillful direction of Miss Howard. When the curtain fell, on both nights, the capacity houses applauded enthusiastically and praises were heard on all sides for the excellent cast and for Miss Linda johnson under whose direction the play was produced. charge of sales organization, with Mr. C. new plan for carrying on the ticket sales. three divisions, W, H, and S.

The executive committee in Blair Rogers as adviser, devised a The entire class was divided i-nto report was given on which team The Publicity Committees played an important part in making the production a success. One group took charge of general publicity in the school. Verses advertising the play were written on the blackboards in the home rooms and speeches were given in class meetings. A second group sent speakers to clubs and organizations in town, and a third committee was in charge of speeches made in 'neighboring high schools. The Poster Com- mittee placed attractive posters in store windows. The Candy Committee, the Make-up Committee, and the committees in charge of properties and stage settings also worked efficiently and con- tributed both financially and artistically to the success of the presentation. The orchestra under the direction of Miss K. Elizabeth Ingalls added to the general gaiety of the performance by playing several delightful and appropriate numbers before the play and between acts. The members of the Senior Class with the generous help and advice of the faculty worked successfully to make The Romantic Young Lady a play to be remembered among many splendid Senior Plays. STACECRAFT CLUB Although few people who see the finished performances in the school realize the tremendous amount of work accomplished by the stagecraft crew, this group is an essential part of every production. The job of de- signing, constructing, and painting stage sets is a long and noisy one, re- quiring not only hard work but also definite skill. The sets for our plays are first designed by making a small sketch show- ing how the designer wishes the stage to appear. Then a miniature model is constructed precisely to scale in every detail. From these designs the large flats are nailed together and erected by Mr. Paulin and his able as- sistants. The painting of the flats with artifice paint is then begun. Real- istic effects much be achieved and the final color scheme must give an artistic effect when combined with costumes, lights, and properties. Members of this interesting club, which is guided by Miss Harriet S. Howard, are William C. Blount, Harry Burwell, Bette Millwater, and Mari- belle Easterbrooks. The organization also has the help of volunteers from the art department who give their services for the different plays. Without the services of this group, the work in dramatics would lose much of its effectiveness. THE EASTER PLAY This year's annual Easter presentation was The Alabaster Box, by Anna j, Harnwell and Isabelle j. Meaker. The play, portrayed by the Mask and Mime Club, was given for the P. T. A., on the evening of April l2, and before the school assembly on April 14. All three acts of the play take place in the home of Lazarus in Bethany. Act one is the afternoon of Good Friday when john Mark comes to tell Martha and Bartimaeus of the betrayal of Christ and the plans for His Crucifixion. judas, who has sought refuge in Lazarus' home, confesses -his guilt and wanders off to end his life. Act two is Easter Eve. Mary has prepared an alabaster box of ointment and gives it to Martha that she may go on Easter morning to anoint the body of jesus. In act three, early on Easter morning, Martha finds that Christ has risen and there is great rejoicing. The cast included Martha, Ethel Mae Pritchard: Bartimaeus, Robert Reitingerg judas, Martin Creeg john Mark, Patricia Cavanaughg Lazarus, William Berryman, Mary, Norma Nelson: and Simon, Bob Geist. The play was directed by Miss Linda johnson: settings were by the Art Department, Miss Harriet S. Howard, director, and the music by the Choral Ensemble under the direction of Miss K. Elizabeth Ingalls. ninety one A Prominent Basso ninety-two BAND MUS Y Spaclffs Dic1ators ' ll ninety-three Dancing the Clark Drag ORCHESTRA ninety-four THE GLEE CLUBS The glee clubs consisted of the lunior and Senior Girls' Glee Club, the Sophomore Girls' Glee Club, and the Mixed Choral Ensemble, the last a group of four boys and six girls who met during the eighth period for practice all through the year a-nd constituted a pleasing innovation in the vocal depart- ment. l The combined girls' glee clubs contributed to the Christmas and Easter music assemblies, while the Sophomore Club presented a comic operetta at one of the Sophomore Class meetings. The Mixed Choral Ensemble sang between acts of The Alabaster Box, the moving play presented before Easter both in assembly and before the P. T. A., and contributed to the town music festival at the Westfield Trust Company on Christmas Eve. This group also sang at music assemblies and church services throughout the year. Members of the glee clubs figured prominently in the Annual Spring Music Festival, where solos by Yvonne Sterling, and trios, quartettes, a-nd octettes presented various phases of Music in the Night. Student singers appearing with the All State Chorus at Atlantic City in November were lane Bowden, Mary Ann Faw, Barbara Handy, Eleanor Reier, William Berryman, Robert Faulkner, Roy Lambert, Dumont Rush, and George Swallow. cHRisTrv1As ci-ioiR This year's Christmas Choir, a temporary organization made up of select- ed glee club members, consisted of forty-two voices. ln collaboration with the Mask and Mime Club, the choir presented the traditional Christmas Program to the general public on Tuesday, December 2l, and to the student body on Thursday, December 23. In contrast to the usual old-fashioned type of music sung in other vears, a more modern Cantata was presented. This, entitled When the Christ Child Came, was written by Clokey, a contemporary English composer and was adapted from a poem by Adelaide Proctor. Solo parts were sung by four members of the choir. Miss Virginia Ackerman was the accompanist. Before the processional a brief Cantata was sung by eight members of the choir. This year Riebold's Spirit of Christmas was selected. This in- cluded many traditional Christmas hymns, such as Oh, Come All Ye Faith- ful, Hark, the Herald Angles Sing, lt Came Upon a Midnight Clear, and O Little Town of Bethlehem. Wearing traditional robes and carrying candles, the choir sang as a processional Oh, Come All Ye Faithful. The recessional was Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Both the choir and the glee clubs are under the inspiring direction of Miss K. Elizabeth lngalls. ninety five THE BAND After a long struggle for funds, the Westfield High School Band finally accomplished its dream of new uniforms this year. These were worn at the first home football game and were greatly admired. Their acquisition was largely due to the efforts of the Band Mothers Association which engineered many money raising ventures. The activities of the Band have been numerous. ln january the Annual Band Concert was given in the Roosevelt junior High School. A large crowd enjoyed a program which included all types of music and the evening was a great success financially. Special concerts were given in local schools and in out-of-town institutions and schools. Among these was a special program for war veterans at Millington Hospital and the rendition of three modern compositions at the Music Festival. The Band also visited Trenton State Teachers College, its director's alma mater, and took part in the Memorial Day parade. A number of members played at the Union County Band Festival and in the Instrumental Solo Contest. On May i9 a meeting of the Band Parents' Association took the form of a dinner at which all the band members were present. Awards based on a point system were given for attendance at concerts, football games, re- hearsals, and so forth, and each senior played a solo. This year the Band consisted of seventy-one members. Richard Wilson served as Property Manager, while Laura Daval was Librarian. Mr. William Warner was the able director. ORCHESTRA Our High School Orchestra of thirty members has as concert-master Everett Holland and is under the experienced conductorship of Miss K. Eliz- abeth lngalls. The full orchestra rehearses twice a week, while the string and wind sections each have an additional rehearsal. One of the most important duties of the members is to play the proces- sional and recessional at all assemblies except pep meetings. They have also done their part in making the monthly music assembly programs more de- lightful. Other school festivities at which they have assisted have been the various school plays, the P. T. A. meetings, and the Music Festival. For the Music Festival this year the orchestra prepared a new selection, Midsummer Night's Serenade by Albeniz, and played when the entire vocal ensemble sang The Bells of St. Mary's, Whistle While You Work, and Good Night Sweetheart. A string trio composed of members of the orchestra, Philip Launer, violinist, Gwendolyn Currier, 'cellistg and Carolyn Gill, pianist, played Love's Old Sweet Song, Lullaby, and ln the Gloam- ing. Four members of the orchestra won the coveted honor of playing in the New jersey All State High School Symphony Orchestra at Atlantic City in November. These were Marjorie and Martha Bartholomew, Laura Daval, and Robert Shotwell. ninety-six A IOINER SURVEYS THE ORGANIZATIONS Weather Vane Annual Staff-A bunch of suckers who labor daily to perpetuate the puny exploits of their fellows.

Under Mr. Freeman's fine coaching the team went through many close and exciting games. After losing nine games by three points, one might expect the team to give up, but it showed more determination and perseverance to win with each game. After three victories over Madison, Boonton, and Union in the middle of the season it seemed as though the boys had come out of their slump, but they were a Team Without Luck, for they lost the rest of their games. Everyone who saw the games must admit that he was on the edge of his seat until the final shot of the timer's gun. Even Princeton, the state cham- pions, had cause to waver, when the team tied them numerous times during the game, Princeton finally winning by the slim margin of one point. The squad met with hard luck again in the county tournament when it was defeated in the last forty seconds of play by the crack Rahway five. Although the team lost most of its games, every one of its opponents had to put up a stiff fight in order to win. ln spite of the fact that four of the lettermen are graduating this year, we are sure that the W. H. S. fight will remain and that next season will be more successful.

Scotch Plains one hundred one 4h one hundred two FOOTBALL After a few weeks' practice, Westfield opened the season with an away game with Somerville on September 25. The Orange and Black scored in the last few minutes of play to make the outcome 6-O. The next two games were a repetition of this disaster. On October 2 and 9, Millburn and North Plainfield scored in the same way and therefore three games were lost 6-O. By way of variety the team was treated to a tie, O-O, on October l6 in a game with Madison which should have been ours except for the 85 yards in penalties we suffered. Columbia defeated Westfield 46-O on October 23 in a game which made the fourth in which the opponents had scored thusg and on October 30, West Orange claimed a I3-O victory. Summit rol-led up the same score on November 6. No doubt Plainfield, our chief rival, received a great surprise when its highly-favored team was unable to score on a determined Westfield eleven that showed great improvement over previous games. The O-O score was due largely to the excellent playing of Artie Wolff, co-captain, who defended his position ably all season. The final game on Thanksgiving Day found us again on the wrong end of a 7-O score with Pearl River, New York. BASEBALL The baseball team, composed mostly of juniors and sophomores, got off to a fine start. After intensive practice with Coach Brose Thompson at the Armory and on the newly-made diamond at Recreation Field, the team won its first four games, beating Roselle, Roselle Park, Plainfield, and Metuchen successively. Since then the team has come up against stiffer competition and has suffered many bad breaks. Because of these the team lost the next four games, but its members are hopeful of victory before the season ends. Some of the individual stars have been George Hess, Howard Walker, Bill Urcuioli, Sal Zollo, AI Pfeiffer, and Bob Howarth. Hess and Walker with their heavy slugging helped keep the team in the running at the begin- ning of the season. Captain Sal Zollo has proved a valuable fielder, while Al Pfeiffer and Bob Howarth have been pitching mainstays. Although this record doesn't seem impressive, it is much better than anyone expected last fall, The team has been fortunate in having a fine diamond which was built this spring. Despite the fact that the team was disbanded last year, baseball seems to be on the up-grade now, and prospects for next year are excellent, for the team will have had valuable experience. one hundred three TRACK lvlr. Coodrich's call for track aspirants was answered by sixty hopefuls, most of them sophomores. Working out amid snow, rain, and fog and occa- sional days of sunshine, this group was molded into a fairly formidable unit. The team was represented in the National junior A. A. U., the Seton Hall, and the State Indoor meets without meeting brilliant success. In the Union County Indoor Meet the team blossomed forth when C-ivan took a surprise second in the 300, Wolff followed up with a fourth in the shotput and Lyman took fourth place in the high jump. The relay teams walked off with both trophies, the 88O team winning by three yards and the mile group winning by two hundred and fifty yards. ln the Long Branch Relays the mile team took third place. Heckenkamp and Waugh tried unsuccessfully to make up for the shortcomings of Beards- lee, who was given a lead by jones, star quarter-miler and lead-off man. The time was 3 :3l. The lnterclass Meet was won by the downtrodden seniors who garnered sixty-tour points, the bragging juniors annexed fifty-eight points, and the sophomores were given three points to keep them quiet. jones, a junior, starred with three firsts. lndoor awards were given to Tifft, Messersmith, Heckenkamp, and Hand of 880 relay fame and to jones, Kiely, Beardslee, and Waugh, who composed the mile relay. one lundred four SWIMMING Still handicapped by inadequate practice facilities, Westfield tankmen swam their way to a most successful season, crowned by the winning of the county championship. Mr. Harold Shaterian, a newcomer to Westfield, showed his mettle by coaching the team to their first county championship and the most successful season in the history of Westfield High School swimming teams. The Scoring weight of the team was borne by the five returning letter- men of the previous season, Fitzgerald, Manning, Rich, Boettger, and Skrba. Dave Manning and Paul Fitzgerald were the outstanding performers of the season, both being undefeated until the state meet. The county championship is naturally the most treasured of all the mer- men's victories. When the team travelled to Rutgers, they supplied the spec- tators with many a thrill. The final score was so close that the decision was announced and then changed twice before Westfield finally clinched the coveted trophy, nosing out Cranford by one point. Next year, much will again be expected of Dave Manning and Paul Fitzgerald. Through the loss of Woodie Rich the diving honors will have to be carried on by Bob Sargent. lim Manning, a promising sophomore, will probably be one of the most outstanding performers. Under the expert coaching of Mr. Shaterian the team will undoubtedly have many more such successful seasons. one hundred five l GOLF Through graduation and withdrawal, the entire golf squad, with the exception of Wilson Rich, left the school last june. Therefore Coach Walter johnson and his assistant, Mr. Allen, were forced to assemble an entirely new squad. At the present time the team consists of Roland Beddows, lack Camp. Bob Lee, Dick Pringle, Bob Reitinger, Bill Smith, Archie Williams, Bob Paine, and Bud Doerrer. The able manager is Fred Peterson. As the squad is composed entirely of sophomores and juniors, prospects for the coming year are good. Lack of experience caused the team to lose its first few matches, These were with Linden, 8 U2-9 l,f2g Plainfield, l5-Og North Plainfield, l8-Og and Montclair, ll-l. The team also failed to place in the Blair Tournament. However, with a total of eight matches to play, exclusive of the State Tour- nament at Locust C-rove on May 27, the team is hopeful of a better future. The team is fortunate in being permitted to practice twice a week at the Echo Lake Country Club and the Locust C-rove Country Club. These clubs give the team full use of the courses. A letter for golf may be had if one plays in at least half the matches and wins at least half the points in the matches in which he participates. No matches will count towards a letter if the player shoots more than 90. one hundred six TENNIS A finely balanced team, many of whose members are sophomores, gives promise that Coach Rope and his men will go places in the next few years. Definitely superior to last year's team, the Tennis Team is having an inter- esting season. The first three matches, it is true, were lost. The game with Pingry was a shut out with a score of 5-O. However, in the match with Bound Brook, Charles Hall, number three singles, won his match, and the number one doubles team composed of Bob Stuhler and Dave Manning also won. Westfield lost the match 3-2. In the Plainfield match Shropshire played number one singles and won, while Stuhler and Pearsall, who played number one doubles, also were victorious. Losses of other players caused victory to slip through the fingers of our courtmen. Following these defeats, the Westfielders were more fortunate. ln the encounter with Hillside, Shropshire, Manning, and Hall won the singles matches as did Stuhler and Pearsall the number one doubles. l. Manning and Bowen clinched the victory in the number two doubles for a shut out. With North Plainfield the team was again successful. Pearsall, substi- tuting for Shropshire, won the number one singles. Hall, number three singles, also won his match. Stuhler and Sutton, playing number one doubles, also triumphed, and the number two doubles, who also won their match, made victory certain. one hundred seven G. A. C. The Cirls' lnterclass Athletic Committee is a representative group, which acts as a governing body for the girls' athletic activities. This year the committee was under the leadership of Virginia Pierson who was ably assisted by lane Bowden, vice-chairman, and Betty Orr, secretary. During the weekly Thursday meeting various problems and activities were discussed and planned. ln the fall the G.A.C. acted as hostess to Summit and Chatham at the hockey play-day. At the end of the season the committee had the honor of being hostess when the North jersey Public School Field Hockey Tourna- ment was held here. Since the C.A.C. girls have an interest in all athletic activities, they served at the Annual Football Banquet and sold refreshments at the Donkey Basketball game. With Betty Ketcham as Program Chairman the Committee planned the Annual Cym Program and decided on These Changing Years for the theme. C.A.C. girls all participated in the program. ln May the Mother and Daughter Dinner, sponsored by the C.A.C., brought to a close another year of C.A.C. activities in the setting of a circus. Special awards were presented to Seniors. one hundred eight AWARD GIRLS Many girls are interested in taking part in athletic activities and have the opportunity to excel in several. Our school offers a varied program from which each girl may choose her favorite activities. In the afternoons girls may be seen practicing in the gym or on the Washington campus. They may participate in team sports-hockey, soccer, basketball, baseball, and volleyball, in dual sports-badminton, tenniquoit, tennis, paddle tennis, aerial tennis, horseshoes, and shuffleboardg or in in- dividual sports-archery, dancing, fencing. The large W or three hundred point award is earned only by taking part in many activities. There are now ten W girls in school. The seniors are Betty Beyer, lane Bowden, Ruth Ann Frost, Sara Gordon, Betty Ketcham, Virginia Pierson, Lucille Stammg the juniors, Peggy Addicks, Cynthia Bass, and Kayel Rogers. At the annual Mother and Daughter Dinner, deserving senior girls re- ceive special awards, Betty Beyer received a cheer leader's key and lane Bowden and Virginia Pierson received similar keys for having made three specified class teams for three years. Virginia Pierson, lane Bowden, Betty Ketcham, and Lucille Stamm, the highest-point girls, received bracelets. one hundred nine CHEER LEADERS This year's squad, selected by popular vote, consisted of seventeen mem- bers. Of this number, ten were chosen to participate at the weekly games under the leadership of their able captain, jean Harrison. All worked faith- fully until the season closed with the Thanksgiving Day Game which was preceded by the second annual breakfast at the residence of the adviser, Miss Swift. Outstanding records made by many former students who are now active on their college cheer squads prove that Westfield cheer leaders have a great opportunity in the future. Even those students who go out for cheer practice and do not make the squad are greatly benefited by daily practice over a ten-week period. Active participants this year were the following: Betty Beyer, lane Bowden, Iris Crawford, jean Harrison, Shirley Hering, lsabel Hovendon, Betty Orr, Virginia Pierson, Anne Satterthwaite, Barbara Wallace, lane Brown, Rollo Blanchard, Ray Crow, Gilman Hand, lere Hansen, lohn Pollock, and Bob Tichenor. one hundred ten MODERN DANClNC The Modern Dance is an art. If Beethoven had been able to tell the things he felt, describe in words his impressions of anything from the most common incident or living thing to the most intricate, involved wordly experi- ence, he never would have composed music . , . The same is true of other artists and arts-and of the modern dance. This is a form of art using rhyth- mic body motion as a means of communicating all experience. And, because of that, no two dancers will dance the same way. There is no series of steps for them to learn, there is no definite technique-the toe doesn't need to be pointed just so nor the hand be held in a prescribed position: there is no music that the dancer needs to interpret. ln fact, it is all inspiration, experience, creative and imaginative. With the arrival of Miss Doris M. Acker on our faculty, came the advent of modern dancing in the girls' department of physical education. lt was started as part of the regular class program, once a week. Then as the time of the annual gym program approached, a special group of interested girls was formed to prepare a demonstration for the program. To give vent to the imaginations of the girls, individual compositions were made up portraying Salutations, A Canning Factory, A Cuckoo Cluck, Follow the Lead- er, and a round, Three Blind Mice. In keeping with the theme of the gym program, These Changing Years, the group conceived a larger composition showing the trends of girls' physical education, its failures and successes. The background using stiff, percussive movements, portrayed the physical education of our mothers' day, while the forward group, employing free, unrestrained modern dance tech- niques, showed the physical education of today. The group, led by our versatile Miss Acker, was composed of the follow- ing: Eleanor Reier, chairman, Marjorie Auster, Betty Barnum, Margaret Beard, Felecie Georgatos, Shirley Hering, Leslie Herrick, Lee Hinterleitner, Virginia Holmes, Ruth Hoffman, joan Hornbeck, Carolyn Kuenne, Helen Miller, Marjorie O'Neal, Fredrika Pratt, Dorothy Marsh, Betty Robinson, Carol Robinson, Katherine Smith, Beatrice Terhune, Helen West. Other activities of the group have been trips to Montclair State Teachers College and to the Plainfield Y. W. C. A., where the girls again presented their dances prepared for the gym program. At the same time they were privileged to see other groups in demonstrations. one hundred eleven one hundred twelve Looking for a Horse The Big Apple --f- so they say This Takes Technique Fair Duellists Up The Aisle and DOn'l' Get Lost Commercial Angles H one hundred thirteen Cl RLS' C-YIVINASI UIVI PROGRAM ln their annual gymnasium program the girls attempted to show the changes occurring in physical education between l9l3 and l938, or between our mothers' day and ours. Twentyafive years ago physical education was decidedly formal, while today a delightful informality prevails. A series of drills and tableaux brought this fact out quite vividly. While Betty Ketcham supplied a running commentary, the scene shifted from l9l3 to l938 and back again both efficiently and effectively. First came a marching drill showing set tactical exercises common to the earlier period. This was presented by a large group of girls wearing ancient middies, large ties, and voluminous bloomers. Following an amusing demonstration of this gymnasium drudgery, which included considerable Hbloomer trouble, a number of tableaux suggested modern activities such as, baseball, hockey, soccer, volleyball, and basketball. Next came a graceful and intricate wand drill which probably gave our mothers a thrill, but scarcely such a thrill as was provided by Grace Simpson and Carol Pultz in the fencing match which followed. Various girls illus- strated fencing technique before the sanguinary duel. A trio of lively country dances, Hop Polka, the Virginia Reel, and a Square Dance, provided considerable diversion as costumes were novel and participants were undeniably enthusiastic. Six junior girls did the Big Apple in approved style and from the comments Awe don't believe our senior boys one hundred fourteen recognized approved styles. ln contrast to these dances were both the aesthetic dancing with scarves and slow music and the performance of the Modern Dance Group with its highly original dances, Dickory Dickory Dock, Canning Factory, and Blind Mice, to say nothing of the elabor- ate composition which illustrated the theme of the entire program. Dual and individual sports were illustrated by a series of tableaux entitled Then and Now. These sports were tennis, swimming, croquet, skating, horseback riding, etc. The girls in these tableaux were particularly effective in their smart sports togs and made a colorful picture. The finale showed a group representing all the numbers, with the girls of today shaking hands with their sisters of yesteryear before a silhouette backdrop painted by Lucille Stamm. Following the program, pictures were taken which have been printed in the yearbook under appropriate captions prepared by a mysterious group which does all its work at the zero hour and is therefore not accountable. Actually the program is one of the big events of the year in the gymnasi- um schedule, for more than l5O girls take part in it, acting, costuming, mak- ing up and managing. A spirit of fun prevails at both rehearsals and perform- ances. It is the earnest hope of the girls that at some time the boys will attempt something equally spectacular. Long, long ago it is said that the boys' gym- nasium classes performed for the entertainment of the entire school. one hundred fifteen one hundred sixteen FEATURES SENIOR DAY Amid cold falling rain appeared visions of country lads and lasses in a conventional hay wagon and of an eastern veiled beauty in a stately palanquin borne by impressive eunuchs. Although these sights startled com- muting natives, they gave unalloyed delight to sopho- mores, and even jupiter Pluvius could not dampen the spirits of the participants in the annual Senior Day. At eight Miss Dodds lined up the motley collection of female im- personators, harem beauties, public characters, babies, negro mammies, and sheiks for the grand parade be- fore the lOOl people who jammed the auditorium. Following the parade, classes proceeded es usual with the ex- ception of Miss Bordner's and Miss Brinser's where spelling bees were conducted and Mr. C e s n e r ' s in which tests were special treats. Life was somehow lived by teachers and pupils until one forty-five when the best program in years was given in the auditorium. To the rhythm of Let's Co, played by the hottest players of hot music, sophomores and jun- iors hurried to find se a ts behind dozens of firmly entrenched proud mammas. Barkers Ackerson and Crichton in checked suits, derbies, and red ties welcomed all to the Greatest Show on Earth and the curtain rose on the masterpiece en- titled Wild Nell of the Plains, starring Pat One - S h o t Magee Pilger and Maude Daniels. This was followed by a succes- sion of refined vaudeville stunts: Bill C. Blount in interpretations of world-wide dances: Charlotte Dene McCarthy a n d h e r creator, Dot Bergen Lewisg Boggs and Stelling in a snake-charming actg a Bingo romance with Stamm and Hubbardg a program of hot swing harmonyg and our President, Fred Keys, who so dazzled the girls with his get-up that they were baffled by his feats of magic. As if this wealth of entertainment were not sufficient, the Alexander Trio lof four membersl p rod u c e d some canned music and a touching operetta Coal Black one hundred eighteen O N C E A Y E A R and the Seven Giants with Artie Wolff in the title role and, inci- dentally, in a black dress was pre- sented. The Seven Giants were simply majestic in track suits and sang popular ditties, including The Big Apple. While the school was illumi- nated with frantic flash photo- graphy, dancing seniors held forth in the gymnasium. Finally q uic t reigned when the last damp senior went home to rest, and another Senior Day went down in history, perhaps the silliest and certainly the wettest of all. Accompanying this inadequate digest are a few pictures which tell a merry tale and will help tease us out of thought in our doddering old age. one hundred nineteen SENIOR SUPERLATIVES DISTINCTION Best Dressed Best Looking Class Actor Class Artist Class Athlete Class Baby Class Bluffer Class Dancer Class Dreamer Class Flirt Class Giggler Class Musician Class Orator Class Romeo and juliet Class Sunshine Class Tease Most Ambitious Most Attractive Most Businesslike Most Carefree Most Daring Most Dependable Most Inquisitive Most Likely to Succeed Most Original Most Popular Most Romantic Most Sophisticated Most Studious Most Talkative Cutest Funniest Laziest Luckiest Nicest Smile Politest Quietest Peppiest Smallest Sweetest Tallest Wittiest e hundred twenty GIRLS Barbara Wallace lean Pilling Lucille Stamm Bette Millwater Virginia Pierson lane Bowden Mary Ditto Barbara McCoy Dorothy Hudson Virginia Purdy lane Bowden Laura Daval Connie Clark Gladys Vaughan jane Bowden Marjorie Simpson Mary Ann Faw Betty Beyer Theo Kelcey Amelia Saunders Grace Simpson Betty Ketcham Shirley Bunce Mary Ann Faw Lucille Stamm Betty Ketcham Betty Beyer lean Pilling Doris Dayment Shirley Bunce Eleanor Mencke Lucille Stamm Class of l938 Ruth Ann Frost Eleanor Mencke Barbara Wallace jane Kitson Barbara McCoy Edith Clark Mary Ann Faw Barbara Handy Ruth Ann Frost BOYS Fred Keyes Dick Spach Paul Gerhardt lack Stelling jack Crichton Frank Leonard Clifton Beardslee lack Crichton Bruce Bagger lack Heckenkamp Fred Keyes Bob Stuhler Bill Blount Artie Wolff Bob Ferguson Peter Dughi Dick Wilson Tom Sawyer Bruce Bagger Peter Dughi lack Heckenkamp Dick Wilson Albert Hastorf Fred Keyes Thompson Boggs lack Crichton jack Heckenkamp Robert Messersmith john Pollock Thompson Boggs Dick Wilson Herbert Twaits Class of i938 Lawrence Sinclair Bergen Van Doren William Sowerwine Leroy Clark Albert Hastorf Armando Biazzo George Frost jack Ackerson Thompson Boggs THE CLASS WILL We, the Class of l938, being in a state of trepidation at the thought of leaving to the faculty and underclassmen the task of struggling along without our invaluable assistance which they have had for three years, do hereby, on this twenty-seventh day of April in the year of the acquisition of New Band Uniforms, make, publish, and declare this Will, disposing of all personal, tangible, or imaginary property in our possession or on which we think we can base a claim.
