BROSE THOMPSON NI-low much money did the Community Fair make? Ask Mr. Thompson, he'll know. Somewhere in his files he'll have the figures carefully recorded. 'lBrose, the Branch Bank, as llfr. Thompson calls himself, is the general school accountant and financier. Soon, as he is taking extension courses, Mr. Thompson expects to become a Certified Public Accountant. Tending the accumulation of pennies for his Sunday School Class as a child, little Erase, with his natural love of accuracy, found that it was fun to keep recordsg but anyone who knows Mr. Thompson realizes that he is something more than a human adding ma- chine. Take his homeroom, for instance. The open bag of slick butter scotch circlets on his desk is meant for them. Also his lively youngsters, Butch and Iackie, think that Bo, with his time out for fun, is the best possible Daddy. One of our versatile dedicatees sons, sturdy little Butch, threw baseballs twenty- eight feet when he was only two years old Probably he inherits that arm from his father, who used to play several sports profession- ally. ln talking over financial problems with lffr. Thompson, we could not lielp letting other troubles leak out, and it wasnt long before he became known among us for his friendly willingness to talk anything over. Mr. Thompsons general advice to all stu- dents is, Take one course in every fundaf mental field of learning, lt will prepare a basis for you to build anff N' A ' R1 fs ' rw SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL ..3rIes A, PhxfI'1ower,A B S , M A, PRINCIPAL FTZKQC N Neubauer, BA M A, DSC.

WARNER e ine Class of lQ4l, wisn to express our sinceres W . . deepest appreciation for his untiring efforts in our behalf, leadership, and for his genuine and practical advice in functions, to our class adviser Mr William H Warner, With the arrival of Iune 21, the senior class of 1941 bids farewell to Westfield High School, taking memories and leaving ones that will not soon be forgotten. Many differ- ent personalities and interests go to make up this group. Some are scholars, some, athletes, many are both. Scientists, roman- ticists, egoists, altruists, all form a unit, the Class of f4l. This class is perhaps most re- nowned for its friendliness, for everyone de- sires to be on good terms with everyone else. The class excels in every form of athletics, t g'a' 'A ae arc for his inspirzng anl of our class and in scholarship, too, it compares favor- ably with the high standards set by other graduating classes. The members do, it must be admitted, enjoy having a good time a bit too much for their own good. Still, the philosophy of enjoying life while they can is not such a bad one. Class President, lim Kane, Vice-President, lack Rogers, Secretary, lackie Clark, and Treasurer, Iim Wilcox, to- gether with Committee Chairmen Edward Wittke, Ioan McCarthy, Murray Parizeau, Ruth Barker, and Ellen Leet, have done their best to make this a most successful year.

The rest had either graduated or had been spirited off to prep school. Nevertheless, they set to, and produced a ball club which showed fighting spirit, even in the face of defeat. The season opened at home, and an experienced and favored Somerville team took home the decision, 18-U. Westfield went to Millburn the next week, and came back on the wrong end of an 18-14 count. A powerful Clifford Scott team defeated the Elmstreeters by a 13-U tally. A valuable addition was then made to the W. H. S. coaching staff. Mr. Ioseph Freeman, who already carried the responsibilities of coaching basket- ball and baseball, volunteered his services to the Duncanites.

BASKETBALL Led by their high scoring captain, lim Kane, Westfield's basketball team turned in a record of eight wins and eight losses this season before entering the County and State tournaments. This is a very good record considering the fact that the boys had to practice under adverse conditions. In the first game with Union, lim Kane, Westfield's point making ace, hit the rim for a total of thirty-five points, breaking his old county record of twenty- nine points. The first trip to Plainfield resulted in a defeat for the Elm Street team, but, on the return trip, Westfield defeated Plainfield for the first time in three years by the score of forty-eight to thirty-nine. On the first round of the County tournament, Westfield was defeated by a strong Queen City team paced by Ed Kane. The outstanding event of the season was Westfie1d's invitation to play in the State tournament. Although the team was eliminated in the first round by the superior Rahway squad, Mr. Freeman was pleased to think that his boys merited the invitation. Captain lim Kane was the outstanding player of the season, but the fol- lowing boys contributed greatly to the success of the team: Bob Gebler, lack Peterson, lim Turpin, Ioe Zollo, Hugh Ogburn, Tom Brotherton and his famous fan club, Dom Sisto, and the competent manager, Charles Gibbs. 78 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE LOST Scrierville . f'.UlI lfQ9L'l1 UIZLCYI Scotch PYIIIYFQ Roaelle PGM Scoich Plfxne Umon Chatham WOII A3777 .JJ ,-Af M751 f-7 AQ V1 t, 35 27 4085 53-37 F2062 57E3o HQ..E.3 i ,. . ,.. 1 : .. ,TIS i'.C.K.19.G Pliihfffd Ezxmd Brick H1f1f.l':f1d ' Hlatniged CC.

Howard Batt, who is just as popular with the ju- niors as Iim Kane is with the seniors, was named presi- dent. Robert Shurts, vice- presidentg Kenneth Thomp- son, treasurer, and Lois Com- rie, secretary. Under the able leadership ot Mr. Allen, a really grand person, the ex- ecutive committee attempted to plan intellectual meetings. The result was movies of a Rutgers football game, a talk by a T. W. A. pilot, a Truth or Consequences program, college and voca- tional advice by Miss Dodds, and a baseball talk by an American League umpire. The members oi the commit- Know how you feel when you receive a present-dee sirous of knowing what it will be like, and yet wondering Whether you'll like it? Well. that expresses somewhat the feelings oi the Class oi '43 as we entered Westfield High School tor the iirst time in September. We had heard so much about high school that we were a little dubious, but were really very much pleased with the outcome. Everyone was so helpful in reply to our anxious aueries. We liked the teachers and upperclassmen, and they seemed to like us. Our first undertaking as a class was the nomination and election ot our officers. Atter 6 6 77 Olnty' LUO 66 77 0I ty jAI QQ tee have had both mirth and work, After all, however, the juniors are a great deal more grown-up than the sopho- mores, who give lollipops as prizes at their class meet- ings, and even than the dig- nified seniors who imitate their inferiors. After working diligently for weeks to convert the Iunior High School gymnasium into a Spanish Fiesta, the prom committees were rewarded with a smashing success. Even some seniors admitted that the Iunior Prom was one of the best ever produced. The iuniors are now rest- ing on their laurels, waiting for next year when they will be seniorsfthey hope! vigorous campaigning for more than a week, Walter Eckhart, president Van Snev- ily,vicefpresident, Bob West, treasurer and Frances Cran- dall, secretary, triumphed in a very close election. Soon afterwards many of us pur- chased class iewelry which made us seem really a part of the school. Then under the helpful guidance of Miss Foutz, our adviser, we planned our year. All ri all, weve had fi rather nice time this year, despite the inevitable handif cap of being called ' these little sophomores, ' and were really sold cn Westfield High School. ,A ,v....,....Nh 1.1 Jff.V.LiD Pre-sicieit NWN' Secretary :N 1.0.5 C 1 T.e-izeurer Kifffiafh Thar?

From seven to seventy yearbooks in three years, to make us the largest exclusive year- book publishers in the east. One way to explain it is to say that Campus in not an engraver, a printer, or any other type of processor, but a service organization well acquainted with the ins and outs of yearbooksg co-ordinating all the phases of yearbook planning and processing. Not being a processor, we can cover the field more completely. There is no budget too small or too large in which we are not interested, nor any reproductive process that we cannot supply-letterpress printing, engraving, offset printing, or gravure. Using these processes to the best advantage, we now make available five different means to a good book. In letterpress printing, MASTER-PRINTH and HENGRAV-PRINT.,' In offset printing, MASTERTONE and HVELVETONEH -and in gtavure, REGENTVURE. All five, from start to finish, are handled alike, receiving the same Perceptiplan servicing, specialized handling of your yearbook from the infant idea to delivery of a fine finished edition. All five are Campus books through and through. These five - differing in price only as they differ in desired effect and budget limita- tions -possess in full those superiorities in appearance, economy, and general effect that have, in three years, made Campus the leading service organization that it is. 61111 1141 TS. !.f.f.,'LLNS'i..c.. ,.'ft .'.,ZIiflfQ..
