Kessler jones WESTFIELD HIGH SCHOOL AND THE WAR . our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us . . that this nation, under Cod, shall have a new birth of freedom ... and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. These words of Abraham Lincoln, written during the Civil War, have an eternal ring of freedom that makes them peculiarly applicable to the great world-wide struggle in which we are engaged today. Westfield High School has dedicated itself to the attainment of that goal of world peace and brotherhood for which our nation is striving. Westfield youth is doing all in its power to aid our national war effort, and also to plan the kind of world in which we want to live tomorrow. Do Not Hoard posters, created by the Art Department, flaunt patriotic colors from the school corridors and from the windows of town stores. Newspapers piled on curbstones Sunday afternoons are collected in trucks by the boys of the Hi-Y and the Student Defense Council. Questionnaires sent out by the Westfield Defense Council are distributed to households in every part of town by members of the Student Defense Council. “Any Bonds Today? has now become the cry of homeroom teachers, from whom students may purchase War Savings Stamps and acquire albums for their safe keeping Air raid drills and the boarding-up of the glass partitions of the auditorium have made Westfield students aware of the dangers that all America must face. The Physical Education Department in co-operation with the nation's Physical Fitness Program has helped the students to develop individual physical preparedness, constructive mental attitude, and knowledge of emergency procedures. The Junior Red Cross has collected funds, knitted garments and afghans. and prepared tags for identifying the wounded. Boys in the manual training classes have built model planes for the Government. Besides these and other tangible contributions to the national war effort, Westfield students have thought long and deeply about what part youth can play in shaping the character of things to come One of our students participated in a panel discussion of this topic on the Town Meeting of the Air broadcast. Several others have taken part in Forum assemblies and in the League of Nations contest. The present is always important to youth, however, and Westfield students are able to keep intelligently informed each day about world affairs by reading the bulletins posted by the history classes on the map in the main hall. Westfield has done its part in the national effort this year Let us hope it will continue to do so increasingly until Victory is won. 16 • ERNEST ABKEN Senior Play Committee 14); Art Club 2) ; Archaeology Club 2. 3).

His blue Pontiac was a tremendous asset to numerous senior boys. • 17 JACK BACON Basketball 12, 3, W4 ; Baseball 2, 3, W4).

Betty makes it her business to save Errol Flynn pictures and see his latests as they come to the Rialto. Another special hobby of this peppy girl is dancing, and another idol, the Navy.

Frank Jones was editor-in-chief; his assistants included Marilyn Schaub, Barbara Baker, Dick Denny, Evelyn Wakefield, Ray Kirwan, and the Journalism I and II classes, Robert L. Foose is the adviser.

Starting the year as secretary and treasurer, Hope Ogden and Baird Mason were succeeded by Jean Cupitt and Jack Fletcher. Seventeen members participated in a successful presentation of the comedy, Young April, as the Mask and Mime Club began its dramatic activities in the fall. Other productions were the traditional Christmas tableaux and Miss Lois Latham's own one-act play, Hit's Man's Business,” which was presented in the assembly and entered in a state contest.

The officers were President, Ruth Johnson; Vice-President, Jim Conrad; Secretary, Shirley Sargent; and Treasurer, Eleanor Creiss. 70 • TYPING CLUB If it were not for the Typing Club, other school organizations could not function so efficiently.

While helping others, the members gain valuable typing experience. Miss Mary Colley is the sponsor; Mrs. Wicks acted as adviser in her absence. Officers were Estelle Villa, president; Lena Ponturo, vice-president; Beverly Fleming, secretary; Lena Musano, treasurer.

Mrs. Kimball is the club sponsor; the officers were jane Lambert, president; Arthur Naething. vice-president; Janet Burtis, secretary; and Arthur Leaman, treasurer. SLIDE RULE CLUB This year the Slide Rule Club, with an increased membership of thirty-five, set out to accomplish much the same objectives as it has in the past; mainly, the instruction of interested students in the working of various problems on the slide rule and the promotion of the annual slide-rule contest. To accomplish the former objective, the club has spent its monthly meetings in multiplication, division, decimals, proportions, squares, and square roots, processes which were first explained by either President Robert Albright or Vice-President Richard Bumstead, and then practiced by the members on mimeographed practice sheets. It was the duty of Secretary-Treasurer Charles Hansen to collect the twenty-five cent dues from each member. A large share of the credit for the operation of the club must of course go to its sponsor, Mr. Walter E. Johnson, Jr., whose patience and helpful suggestions have made another successful year possible. 72 • CATALYST CLUB A catalyst is a chemical activator, and the W H S. Catalyst Club is a large group of students actively interested in chemistry and other related sciences. Eligibility for membership depends on a student’s studying or having studied one year of science in high school. Meeting monthly, club members supplement the knowledge gained in class by discussion, demonstrations, lectures, slides and field trips. One of the highlights of this year was a student demonstration of the whys and wherefores of a smokestack. No one seemed to mind being smoked out. Mr. C. Blair Rogers, sponsor, gave freely of his time to the club before being called into the army as a captain in the chemical corps. Mrs. Speer assumed his club duties. Officers who served this year are as follows: President, Warrington Skelly; Vice-President, Jud Huntley; Secretary, Margaret Cillis; Treasurer, William Hardgrove. • 73 RED CROSS Organized as a council of voluntary, active representatives from every homeroom, the Junior Red Cross has co-operated this year with the town group in the nation-wide call for funds, clothing, and other war time needs. Ninety-three per cent of the student body joined the Red Cross in the Annual Membership Drive in the fall, contributing $77.47. In January a campaign for contributions to the Red Cross War Fund netted $46.12. In addition to taking charge of the money raising activities, the council supervised the jobs assigned by the local headquarters, such as preparing identification tags for the Westfield Defense Council and at Christmas time making up boxes of games and toys for evacuated and homeless boys and girls in Britain. Miss Stella Hemphill is the sponsor of the organization, while the following served as officers: President, Norma Westra; Vice-President, Adelaide Berse; Secretary, Justine Bright; Treasurer, Barbara Pierson. JUNIOR AUXILIARY The purpose of the Junior Auxiliary is to aid the Children's Country Home m entertaining the children and providing for their care Forty five girls, led by their officers. Gloria Wright. Frances Crandall. Lois Comrie. and Evelyn Wakefield, have devoted themselves to this purpose Three dances, apple sales, a cake sale, a fashion show, and magazine commissions accounted for the money earned towards the traditional $1000 goal No one will forget the monthly meetings and the food served to com pensate for the energy used in thinking up proiects. In November the Sadie Hawkins'' riot sent the Auxiliary on to further successes in the Thanksgiving drive for canned foods and the Christmas party at the home February brought the Shipwreck Dance, featuring the Chug-a-Luggers, and March, the Bunny Hop. with Gint Dexter With spring came the fashion show and bridge, and the election of officers to carry on in the coming year SERVICE CLUB Organized just before the close of school last year, the Service Club has come to be an integral part of school make-up. With the slogan, You are not too young to serve your school,” the Service Club went into action last September and has been running errands, guiding visitors and new students, ushering, and managing the Lost and Found ever since. Miss Carol Brinser is the sponsor, while the officers elected last fall were Donald Ryan, president; Peter Kitson, vice-president; Charlotte Epps, secretary; and John Dietze, treasurer. A great many volunteers are necessary for the functioning of the club. Requirements are that members be sincerely interested; be able to give time; and be passing in all subjects. Two of the nicest features of the year's work, which included lonely hours of study in the halls, were the fall picnic and the February party, both held for new students and members of the Service Club. LATIN CLUB Latin ceases to be a dead language when the Latin Club gets together to play bingo in Latin, present quiz programs, or review old Roman plays. Mr. Edmund C. Allen sponsors the club, assisted by Miss Gertrude Foutz and Mr. Samuel Bunting. Officers are named according to the ancient Roman titles, Consul, Margaret Allen; Vice-Consul, Barbara Lee; Scripfor, Corinne Manning; Quaestor. Thomas Mullen; Assistant Quaestor, Alfred Luessenhop One of the most interesting meetings this year was that held in conjunction with the Rahway Latin Club. Westfield furnished refreshments and the visitors took charge of the program As part of a quiz, experts were asked to sing popular songs after they had translated the titles from the Latin Translated into English and modernized a bit. the play Atalanta’s Last Race was a big success. The large cast included Robert Beard as Hip-pomenes; Phyllis Wheelwright, Afalanta; Harriet Auster, Venus; William Reusch, executioner; and Corinne Manning, narrator • 77 With Pan-Americanism a basic note in our international relations today, El Ateneo or the Spanish Club fills a definite need in school life for more inbmate knowledge of the peoples to the South Monthly meetings are devoted to programs dealing with personalities and customs of both the Spaniards and the South Americans. The year's highlight was the trip the club made together with the Spanish and Latin-American history students to the Lafin-American Fair at Macy s and Gimbel's department stores. The group toured the exhibits, attended the program of motion pictures and songs, and climaxed the morning with a lunch of Mexican hot tamales and tortillas at the XochitT' restaurant. Programs during the year included celebrations of the Mexican Christ mas and Pan-American Day, motion pictures, and initiation of new members Miss Stella Hemphill and Mr Samuel Bunting are advisers; Lucille Tate, president. Warrington SkeiTy. vice-president. Peggy Saitta. secretary; and Harvey Nicholson, treasurer EL ATENEO LE QUARTIER LATIN The French Club, sponsored by Mr Gaston B Cesner and Miss Certrude Foutz, has long been one of the largest and most active clubs in the school. This year the club demonstrated its activities for the New Jersey Modern Language Teachers' meeting at Rutgers University, supported two refugees of the war. and encouraged the exchange of letters between French and American students. Some of the most interesting programs consisted of playing games in French, seeing films from the French exposition at the World's Fair, and presenting plays in French As in other years the French Club planned to take a trip to New York to eat in a French restaurant and see a French movie This year's officers were President. Donald Ryan First Vice-President. Joan Burgher; Second Vice-President. Danforth Nettleton; Secretary. Sally Larson. Assistant Secretary. Martha Tucker: Treasurer. Catherine Herr: Assistant Treasurer, Allen Whiting: Program Chairman. Barbara Pierson. CHESS CLUB Organized three years ago, the Chess Club has remained undefeated in as many years of interscholastic combat. Under the able sponsorship of Mr. Gaston B. Cesner, the group meets once a week for practice. The team has been given state-wide recognition in view of its record, and several outstanding players developed this year may be expected to continue the good work next season. The officers of the club were President, Homer Jones, and Secretary-Treasurer, Dorothy Partington. LIBRARY COUNCIL The Library Council is a hard-working group devoted to helping Miss Alice Bible and Miss Marion Scott in their silent and mysterious work. Checking library slips, filing, charging and shelving books, the club members become well acquainted with library procedures. The council enjoys the experience, and some members plan to do library work in college as financial self-help. The officers for 1941-1942 were President, Barbara Pierson; Vice-President, Patricia Byrnes; Secretary-Treasurer, Phyllis Green. 80 • THE FORUM The Forum derives its name from the famous meeting place of ancient Rome; its purpose is the fuller understanding of the affairs of state The Forum presents its programs on current affairs to the student body in assembly as well as at its own social supper meetings Advisers are Miss Lois Latham and Mr. Roy Tolliver. Those who served as officers are President. Ted Willis; Vice-President. Donald Ryan. Secretary. Elizabeth Johnston; and Treasurer, Homer Jones. MATHEMATICS CLUB Something new has been added in the shape of a Mathematics Club, sponsored by Mr. John May and Mr Bart Ellis. The club was originated for the benefit of those interested in unusual and practical mathematics problems. No officers were elected as the club meetings were spent in actual study and discussion. Club members studied many topics, some of which are not considered in regular classes, including statistics, interest, and mathematical problems in modern warfare. • 81 Hl-Y Under its two able presidents, Bob Lowe and Bob Shurts, the Hi-Y Club has put in a year of good hard work. Very active in aiding the Defense Council. Hi-Y boys collected much old metal and paper. In view of the national emergency, the club abandoned its own traditional Paper Day,’ and in its stead, sponsored two movie benefits, earning over $275. Ozzie and Company were obliged to make very frequent trips to the stage to announce coming Hi-Y dances that were as popular as usual The annual New Year's Eve and Senior Day dances were especially successful. While many interesting programs were arranged, the best was a talk given by Dr. Paul Harris, who also addressed the student body in assembly. Don McLaughlin, Henry Nichols, and Peter Kitson were sent to Trenton to attend the Model Legislature Much credit is due Mr. Hall, the Y Boys’ Secretary, and Mr Walter E. Johnson, Jr, for their work in advising the club. As the club is divided into two chapters, there are two sets of officers. Of the Blue Chapter, Bob Lowe is president; Sidney Swallow, vice-president; Jud Huntley, secretary; and Kenneth Thompson, treasurer. Bob Shurts is president of the White Chapter: Henry Nichols, vice-president; Peter Kitson, secretary; and William Con-nellee, treasurer. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Founded December 19, 1940. to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage development of character in pupils of Westfield Senior High School, the Westfield Chapter of the National Honor Society now includes forty-seven members. Seniors and juniors in the upper ten percent of their classes, and outstanding in character, leadership, and service are eligible for membership.

Charles Hansen, Catherine Herr, Phyllis Kinkead, Anna Lawa. Barbara Lee, Ruth Mitzenius, Danforth Nettleton, Louise Neubauer. Dorothy Partington, Martha Tucker, Carroll Webber, Patricia White, and Allen Whiting. • 83 YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU The choice of Moss Hart and George Kaufman's comedy hit ' You Can't Take It With You as this year's senior play is interesting as it reflects the spirit of the class of '42. The play is the story of a family of friends and relatives living together for the joy of living and doing whatever they want whenever they want. Under the able direction of Miss Lois Latham, the play was a great dramatic success. A Friday the thirteenth opening night, exams during the sales campaign, and high expenses perhaps account for the fact that the play was not as great a financial success as had been hoped The candy committtee. headed by Winifred Derge, overcame the sugar shortage with sugarless re cipes to add considerably to the profits Outstanding acting was turned in by Janet Burtis as Penny Sycamore, the playwriting-artist mother of the family, and by Clark Sullivan as Grandpa, the good-natured old gent whose philosophy of life was far too sensible for most people to understand. Our versatile class president, Alva Walker, portrayed the Russian Kolenkov of Confidentially, it steenks! fame with unusual zest. The large cast also included Babs Butcher as Alice and Don McLaughlin as Tony, beautifully in love; Phyllis Green as Essie, flitting endlessly across the stage; Dorothy Jean Ludlow as the Grand Duchess Olga, sparkling in sequins; Frances Higgs as Rheba and Frank Jones as Donald, the laugh provoking servants; Dick Schafer as Paul and Dominic Savoca as DePinna, interested almost exclusively in fireworks; Adelaide Berse as Cay, the sleepy (?) actress; Clarke Ambrose as Henderson, the irate tax-collector; Bill Hardgrove as Ed, the hardworking printer; Shirley Husson and Gilbert Dannehower as Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, socialites reformed by the Vanderhof household; and Ted Willis, Donald Ryan, and Jud Huntley, who appeared briefly to take everybody off to jail. Six weeks of hard work were necessary to perfect this hilarious laugh-fest. Properties were numerous, the hobbies of the characters requiring everything from fireworks to Grecian robes. Norma Westra and her properties committee plus the art and stage committees succeeded in making the set look like a museum. Occasional outbursts of fireworks, both on and off the stage brightened up the show considerably. Now that everything is all over, seniors may be proud to recall that they chose You Can't Take It With You and made a success of it. • 85 CHOIR Representative of Westfield's superior music department, the choir is the largest in the history of the school. Under the inspired direction of Miss Janet Grimier, the choir has also been one of the most active, figuring in the Christmas program, the Spring Festival, the Easter program, and many assemblies. During the year the vocal organizations, including the choir, the two girls’ choruses, the boys' glee club, and the boys' double quartet, have worked to satisfy widely divergent tastes in music. While music from opera to popular was presented, some of the most impressive songs were those sung at the music festival, Echo Song. Deep River, and Night and Day. The choir, numbering one hundred ten voices, was organized with Don McLaughlin, president; Dorothy Jean Ludlow, vice-president; Valerie Wheeler, secretary; and Howard Baft, treasurer The librarians were Dorothy Brown, Janet Burtis, and Bert Rieger. CHRISTMAS SERVICE Traditional in its simplicity and beauty, the Christmas service is the result of cooperation of three departments. Art, Music, and Dramatic. Each year the public and the student body look forward to the carols, the colorful tableaux, and the reading of the Christmas story, ushering in the Christmas holidays. Appearing in this year's tableaux were Madonna, Claire Reese; angels, Jean Louise Richter. jane Mann; shepherds, Dominic Savoca, Robert Force. Hugh Stuhler; the Wise Men, Robert Jones, Gilbert Dannehower. Peter Kitson; Joseph, Clarke Ambrose. BAND Whether marching at the half, or performing excerpts from Parsifal,' the band this year has distinguished itself in the long line of W.H.S. bands. Under the able direction of Mr. Anthony P. Ingram, the marching band made its change to a symphonic band so successfully that the annual Band Concert closed with an audience still crying, Encore. In addition to the concert, the band played at all pep meetings, football games, and fall assemblies, and cooperated with town and school programs in furnishing the proper musical setting. Especially notable was the variety of music and formation that made Westfield rooters proud to see their band march onto the field. 88 • . MMH MUSIC FESTIVAL Two hundred musicians of the choir, band, and orchestra combined in the production of the Music Festival which was based this year on the theme of music of the masters and the masses. Miss |anet Grimier and Mr. Anthony P. Ingram directed, while Donald McLaughlin headed the executive committee. ORCHESTRA The orchestra, reorganized by Mr. Ingram, grew in numbers in the past year and provided assembly music during the winter. Selected musicians performed at the Christmas service, while the whole orchestra took part in the Music Festival. • 89 ATHLETICS VARSITY SCHEDULE Westfield Opponent Somerville ............... 25 0 Millburn ................... 40 0 Liberty, N.

Nine victories, no defeats, 229 points to opponents' thirteen, two trophies, and many individual honors stand as testimony to a really great season. With a new board of strategy, consisting of Head Coach Joe Freeman, Coaches Bart Ellis and John May, Captain Bob Lowe, and with new uniforms, the Blue and White started the ball rolling with a 25 to 0 victory over Somerville. Millburn, 40 to 0, and Liberty, New York, 42 to 6, were the next to fall. Enthusiasm ran high as the next week the Freemanites took Roselle Park, 24 to 0. Perhaps the greatest triumph was the, long awaited victory over an ancient rival. Columbia. The 14 to 0 score at the end of the game occasioned an impressive victory parade, bonfire, and dance. A mid-season let-down resulted in second half rallies to stop Harrison and Thomas Edison at 14 to 0 and 38 to 0, respectively. Then came the now famous walk off game with Plainfield. Protesting the allowance of a touchdown by Jim Turpin, the Red and Black walked off the field; as a result, the officials awarded the game to Westfield, 1 to 0. The season ended in fitting style with a 31 to 7 Thanksgiving Day victory over Ridgewood. Westfield was named co-holder with Rahway of the Croup III, Section II, New Jersey State Championship as a result of this outstanding season. Twenty-five letters were presented at the end of the season by Coach Freeman to members of the varsity football team. The men receiving awards were captain and most valuable player, Bob Lowe; Angelo Bavosa, Robert Burslem, Floyd Beane, Austin Callaway, Gilbert Dannehower, Robert Dello Russo, Walter Eckhart, Cordon Egert, Robert Gebler, Jack Hahn, Eugene Hohenstein, Robert Hohenstein, Robert Jones, Peter Kitson, David Kreutz, James Kjellmark, Alfred Luessenhop, Raymond Salm, Dominick Sisto, James Turpin, Theodore Vreeland, and Marcel Rodriguez. Robert Shurts and Sidney Swallow, managers, also received award letters. 94 • CHEER SQUAD Early on the second Monday morning of the school year, ninety students assembled in the gymnasium under the direction of Miss Gertrude M. Swift to try out for the cheer squad. Of these, thirty-three were finally selected to lead the cheers of the student body for the season. Westfield High School has always been noted for having one of the finest cheer squads in the state, and this year was no exception. A large share of the credit for this year's fine football season can be given to the cheer squad. Inspired by the spirit of its co-captains, Babs Butcher and Bud |ones, the squad, whipping the crowd into a frenzy, kept enthusiasm at a fever pitch, both at the football games and at the pep meetings. The squad led cheers and songs at five pep meetings, a sophomore class assembly, and at numerous gatherings throughout the year. The senior members of the squad were Babs Butcher, Betsy Nolan, Adelaide Berse, Lois Comrie, Justine Bright, Bud Jones, Dick Schafer. Norman Morton, and Albert Plambeck. Babs Butcher, Betsy Nolan, Adelaide Berse, Bud Jones, Norman Morton, and Albert Plambeck all received award letters for their fine work in cheering at the required number of games. • 95 BASKETBALL Turning in the finest record of any Blue and White team since basketball was organized as an interscholastic sport at W H S. many years ago, Coach Vic Johnson's cagers won sixteen games and lost three Two of the losses came in tournaments: the Blue Devils were eliminated in the quarter finals of the county contest by Plainfield, and in the first round of the state tournament by a strong Regional team by the bare score of 42 to 40. A winning streak of eleven games was chalked up by the Johnsonites after dropping the opener to Somerville. After losing in the county tournament, the Blue and White added five more victories to their record before closing with the state tourney defeat. jack Hahn VARSITY SCHEDULE Westfield Opponent Somerville 28 35 North Plainfield 41 29 Hillside 47 38 Union 51 13 Woodbridge 41 33 Bound Brook 32 25 Edison 37 33 Roselle Park 45 35 Essex Tech 41 20 Union 60 26 Millburn 30 22 Millburn 41 23 Essex Tech . 42 40 Edison • County Tournament).... , 34 23 Plainfield • County Tournament).... . 26 41 Roselle Park . 37 24 Woodbridge . 50 24 North Plainfield . 54 36 Regional (State Tournament) . 40 42 Much credit is due Vic Johnson for his first year’s work as varsity coach. High scorer for the quintet was Captain Jim Turpin, ably abetted by Jack Bacon and Tom Brotherton and Fan Club. Bob Cebler, Jack Hahn. Dom Sisto. Bob Burslem, and Cordon Egert come in for their share of the credit for a great team as does Art Sargent, the dependable manager. SWIMMING Our swimming team, severely crippled by midyear ineligibility, nevertheless carried on with a determination to uphold Westfield's traditional record in this sport, but the scores were quite different from those of other years. The opening meet was lost to Bloomfield by one point, 36-35, when the Essex County School won both relays. The second meet resulted in victory for Westfield, 52-14 Asbury Park, Montclair, and Kearny defeated the Blue and White in the next three meets, 37, 2-28, 2. 42-24, and 47-19 respectively. In the final meet Pingry School of Elizabeth snatched victory by winning the final event. In a county meet for individual swimmers, Captain Dave Ryan won the backstroke event; Jack Holmes, second place in the 100 yard freestyle event; and Bob Albright, third place in diving. Lettermen of the 1942 team are Captain Ryan, Jack Holmes. Bob Albright, Jim Loveland. Bob Brooks, and Jack Droescher. 98 • TRACK Westfield High School’s track team in its first appearance this spring romped off with the state medley relay crown at the Long Branch Relays. With the state trophy hanging from their belts the medley quartet is pointing toward the Penn Relays in Philadelphia With only three lettermen returning. Coach Richard L. Goodrich has had a job filling the shoes of Jim Kane and Jere Hanson. Eighty boys have reported to Coach Goodrich, and among them are forty sophomores. Frank Jones, Van Snevily, and Bob Shurts are the returning lettermen. Howie Batt, who proved himself quite a runner near the end of last season, is going to be a high point scorer. On account of the war, the indoor team was cancelled and spring practice didn't get underway until the last week of March • 99 -Ml Facing a nine match schedule, Coach Samuel Bunting's state championship team will defend the State Croup III title which it won last season Only two lettermen are left this year; yet the Blue and White has hopes of repeating its past success. During the past three seasons the Blue Devils have won thirty-one matches and have lost but one Twenty-seven of these victories were consecutive. Expected personnel will be Harold Richardson, Al Luessenhop, John Dietze, Dick Thomas, George Mead, and the efficient manager, Frank Epps The outlook for the golf team is not very promising as there are no lettermen back this season Coach Walter E. Johnson's squad is composed mainly of sophomores and juniors and should develop into excellent material by next year. Twelve matches have been scheduled for the linkmen, who will use either Shackamaxon, Echo Lake, or Locust Grove as the home links. The most promising prospects are Ray Taylor, Ed Christiansen, and Bruce Malcolm BASEBALL Prospects for the Westfield baseball team are bright on account of the fact that there are ten lettermen returning to action. Coach |oe Freeman's lads hopefully face a fourteen game schedule. Almost every position is filled by a letterman. Jack Loeffler, an All-Stater last year, will handle the catching duties. Norman Morton, Tom Broth- erton, and Jack Bacon will carry the hurling burden. Morton is a seasoned veteran, having been credited with all of last season's victories. Jim Turpin will cover first base; Schuyler Livingston will handle second base; Ed McClos-key will hold down the third base spot; and Chick Miller bids fair to be short stop. The outfield posts will be held by Captain Bob Gebler. Ted Vreeland, and Jack Hahn, with Bob Jones in reserve. Kenneth Rohrabaugh will handle the managerial duties. • 101 G.A.C. One of the doingest and givingest of all G.A.C.’s, this year’s group of seniors, juniors, and sophomores have left behind their record of movie benefits as tangible evidence of the desire to contribute to the girls' athletic program. Last year a motion picture projector was presented by the girls for use in girls' gym classes, while this year a fund was established for the purchase of a yearly award to the Gold Letter Girl. the outstanding girl of the graduating class. The committee sponsor is Miss Gertrude M. Swift; the officers for 1941-42 were Shirley Husson, chairman; Evelyn Wakefield, vice-chairman; Phyllis Kinkead, secretary; Norma Westra, treasurer. The committee consists of a group of representatives elected from each homeroom, meeting every Tuesday third period, throughout the year. The first project of the year is always the Big Sister Movement. This is an organized attempt to acquaint the sophomore girls with the athletic program in high school and to explain the duties of G.A.C. representatives before elections are held. During the year, problems relating to the game-room, the locker room, and after school participation have been settled. Falling within a week of each other, the Physical Fitness Program and the Mother and Daughter dessert made a fitting climax. Awards were presented at the dessert to high point girls Patty Shellenberger, Barbara Brown, Barbara Butcher, Shirley Husson, Lois Comrie, and Evelyn Wakefield. Norma Westra received the gold bracelet, the highest award for athletic participation Athletic keys for three teams three years and G.A.C. three years were awarded to the following girls; Babs Butcher, Barbara Brown. Norma Westra, Lois Comrie, Shirley Husson, Barbara Pierson, and Evelyn Wakefield For cheering. Babs Butcher was given the cheer leader key as cheer captain, while Adelaide Berse, Justine Bright, and Betsy Nolan received cheer leader pins Shirley Husson as chairman of G.A.C. was presented with the special silver gavel award. Athletics are now definitely a ma|or part of a girl’s extracurricular activities Not only were seven high point award bracelets given to seniors this year, but also many one hundred, two hundred, and three hundred point felt emblems These are the symbols of the pleasures and benefits of increasing participation in sports activity as Westfield approaches its goal of a sport for every girl, and a girl in every sport. 102 • PHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAM Every girl in high school participated in the mass Physical Fitness demonstration held this year at Recreation Field in place of the annual indoor gym program. Both the girls who took part and the spectators felt that the program was just about the best and most worthwhile ever presented. The old problems of lack of space, limited participation, and setting, were forgotten as 350 girls covered the field, set off only by bright green grass, blue sky and music. The program was presented to show what Westfield girls are doing in co-operation with the national Physical Fitness program. Introduced by the placing of the health emblems at the sides of the stage. the sports snapshots number was the first on the program. Sports in the school athletic program, hockey, basketball, softball, volleyball, fencing, archery, and dual sports, were demonstrated in mimetic drill, first individually, and then en masse. Modern dancing techniques, featuring warm-up exercises, leaps, falls, and jumps, were followed by a demonstration of tumbling. The American country dance number, composed of the Varsovienne. The Wearing of the Green, The Grapevine Twist, and the Polka,” attracted the largest number of participants. The emergency needs number showed the skill of the First Aiders in bandaging, artificial respiration, and transportation. Effective because of the color of red, white, and blue beanies, the patriotic finale climaxed the afternoon. After forming the letters U S A. across the field, the girls shifted into a huge V, for the singing of the Star Spangled Banner before marching off the field. features YOUTH FACES THE FUTURE How will youth face the future-5 In these times of dire national emergency this question is foremost in all our minds Here, as exemplified by several of our more industrious and capable seniors, we present the attitude of the Westfield High School students. First, let us look at the fellow in the middle of the above picture Notice his calm but determined stance; his clear, penetrating eyes; and that look of grim determination that seems to possess him This is model youth personified! This is the hope of young America! Now let us regard the poor, hapless fellow in the upper left hand corner. Alas, what a pity! Here we have an example of youth and its inability to cope with the problems of the world today It is only to be regretted that there will always be a few of these fellows left to wander, bewildered, through life. In the bottom left hand corner we see a happy, carefree young man in the flower of his adolescence. How overly complacent and optimistic he is! How will he take the hard, cruel knocks that life holds in store for him-5 Will they break down his childlike innocence, leaving him lonely and lost in the depths of life's miseries? Here is the youth with whom to sympathize! Regard the young chap in the lower right hand corner, the cold look of haughty intolerance and arrogance that distorts his features. Is democracy 106 • to fall into such obviously incapable hands7 How ironic it would be for a government based on the spirit of equal rights for all men to fall under the rule of men so bred in the doctrine of class hatred as this fellow seems to be Lastly, we look at the fellow in the upper right hand corner. At last we perceive the youth capable of conquering the future. Notice the confident, yet prudent gaze; the perfect combination of humor and seriousness which will steer him clear of the pitfalls so apt to devour his comrades. This lad will never fall victim to the schemes and treachery of the misguided Ah, that all youth could stand with him on this high pedestal! To him and to the broad-shouldered fellow on his right, we entrust our destiny. CLASS WILL We. the brain-weary and muscle-bound class of 1942. having very little to give and less inclination to give it, are nevertheless moved by the shining example of our predecessors to formulate and set down the following as our last Will and Testament. FIRST: To the cast of next year’s Senior Play we bequeath one second night tomato, used. SECOND: To students for the duration we recommend the senior steps as the safest place to be in case fire and airraid bells ring at once.” THIRD: We leave the addition to the covered runway to new school enthusiasts as proof that the present building is expected to last one more generation. FOURTH: To anybody, absolutely anybody, we leave Don McLaughlin’s bow ties, Winifred Derge’s socks, and Babs Butcher’s digestion. FIFTH: To Paul and Joan we leave a collapsible love-seat for use in second period English. SIXTH: As a patriotic gesture we leave Clark Sullivan’s omnibus to the transport division of the United States Army. It uses too much gas anyway. SEVENTH: To the artists and journalists of subsequent classes we bequeath the broad field of untouched plywood in the front hall. EIGHTH: To the bold and blushing idol of the junior class. John Dietze, we leave the ardent Brotherton Fan Club. NINTH: To anyone with brains, brawn, bright smile, and best drag with the faculty, we leave Frank Jones’s job of editing the bigger and better” Hi’s Eye. TENTH: Lastly we bequeath the sugar saved in making sugarless candy for the senior play to the administration and faculty, for obvious reasons. Witnessed in the Happy Home of Miss Bordner, the morning after the deadline, in the year of unprecedented births, marriages and engagements, automobile accidents, and the graduation of approximately three-fourths of our original numbers.
