IOHN L. FELL, Editor-in-Chief. In appreciation of his un- tiring interest in student work and the genuine aid he has given our class, we seniors dedicate the i945 Weather Vane Annual to Mr. Edmund C.

While describing one, she may frequently be heard saying, lt was a panic! What will enliven cheer assemblies when Estelle is gone? .WW PAT AKERS Pat's smooth personality and good looks are unusual. Widely traveled, Pat came back to us after living in Cuba. Her sophisticated charm sometimes gives way to an in- fectious giggle, but for inside information on this gal, you must go up 20,000 feet. 7-, ix , l '.:a:4tt -Q X X X nf I -s ll M -lt f J 1' l' l f .... 1 at l ll ll tif WMM fx'1 ' l il We lfiil ff TT' l IAMES ALEXANDER Well-liked by all who know him, jim is one of our more studious and cooperative seniors. Although much of his time is spent keeping Whelan's going, this quiet lad finds time to play Santa Claus to fellow workers and unfortunates. PEGGY ANDERSON A dark-haired beauty of the Class of '45, Peggy has a sense of hu- mor all her own. We won't forget her superb hockey game or her brief emoting with a potted plant in the senior play. WILLIAM ANDREWS A mighty mountain of a man, Bill - Porky to his numerous pals- was always ready to replace any three on loe's team. Conversations are enriched and cigarette stocks depleted by his fund of jokes both old and new. WILLIAM APPLETON One of the newer members of ou class, Bill joined us from Bristol Pennsylvania. Preferring to call ev erybody Oscar, this would-bi biographer of Nevius keeps all as sociates happy with flashy ties ant witty remarks, much to Miss Bord ner's dismay. t, ii W, P X is l E i 'z Ji li l l If 4, 2 CAROL ARMSTRONG Carol is a vivacious girl with gleam- ing bronze locks and a flashing smile. For three years she has been an enthusiastic participant in many school activities. Carol's choice for the future ranges from pounding the keys to flying the QUENTIN ARMSTRONG Monk is one of the bulwarks of our class, making up in drive and energy what he may lack in height. This diminutive dynamo is noted for marks consistently above aver- age and an ancient Chevy con- stantly requiring attention. DONALD AYERS Donnie will live in our hallowed hall of fame through his trumpet stylings, cartoons, and serious act- ing. Even if old Satchmo' never quite made the National Honor Society, a sharp sense of humor won the friendship of everyone who knows him. dz .,E- ?j an xv: ooh Lg 0 airways.

This popular senior has her more seri- ous side, too, and has earned her position as a favorite senior because of her scintillating per- sonality, dependability, knowledge, and loyalty to her school. DONALD BARRETT Friendly, popular Don, appearing to be quiet, is a nice addition to any crowd. This diver par excellence for our swimming team is very much interested in tne Naval Air Corps. Here's hoping for a suc- cessful future for this deserving fellow. 'lo '40, l ii .,..tg...l I Us Q DORIS BENNlNGER One of the ablest commercial stu- dents, Doris is a necessity on the annual staff.

Hope you hit that wild blue yonder, kid. ROBERT BERRY Able co-captain of the swimming team, Bob was seen at every prac- tice of the season driving his co- horts to death from exhaustion.

MARY BETH BOCKIUS Beth is one of our class's most brilliant students, as proved by her membership in the National Honor Society. Although much of her time is spent on the telephone, she still manages to spread her cheery smile to all. SALLY BOCART Sally, the girl with one hundred nicknames, wreaks havoc with those big brown shoebutton eyes. A definite individualist, she bright- ens our moments in her company, as she is ever painting sunsets or making pungent comments on Home Nursing, in an argument!

This year the staff has departed from the conventional format of Westfield yearbooks in introducing a padded cover utilizing a photograph rather than the usual embossed design of the front entrance. The senior pages have been provided with a novel arrangement designed by Patricia Brunner. The change from letterpress printing to photo offset a few years ago proved very popular with this year's staff, so layouts have been limited only by student photography and a sense of what is good and bad. Rather radical change has been made in the location of the foreword and the dedication. From those students who volunteered and qualified for the job, john L. Fell was chosen editor-in-chief. The class treasurer, William C. Child, served as business manager. They were assisted by jim Wittke, write-up chairmang George Berke, feature editor, Hubert Foster, sports editor and pho- tographerg Marie Meigs and Guy Shaffer, picture editors. Other staff members were Carol Snell, jack Pitt, Margaret Brady, Elwood Smith, Nancy Dreier, Phyllis Brinkman, Peggy Anderson, Catherine Barnett, Carolyn Decker, Frances Sny- der, and Betty Howarth. All sketches were made by the art students under the general chairmanship of Doris Rodewig and Marion Walstead. Typing was done by volunteers from Miss ColIey's and Miss Hammell's classes. john l. McCut- cheon was official photographer. WEATHER vANE MAGAZINE For twenty-two years the Weather Vane has re- flected the life of the school and served as a medium of expression for students of literature and art. Dur- ing this time it has held an enviable place among school publications, winning first place in the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association Contest ten times within the past fourteen years. The staff has,been greatly encouraged by the praise received in the recent evaluation of our school. Despite the fact that magazines are no longer published in grade schools and the junior high school, more than seventy sophomores expressed interest in magazine work, and a large number who passed tests or submitted proof of competence were accepted. This large staff was directed by Sally Shreve, who was unanimously chosen editor-in-chief. Allen Reed 'served faithfully as treasurer until he left for the Army. His place was taken by Letty Russell, a very versatile sophomore member. Betsy Ulrich added the secre- tary's duties to those of poetry editor. 'Miss Bornder and Miss Howard were the advisers. Innovations this year were a large and active Finance Committee, headed by Letty Russell, an ener- getic aviation department, directed by Dick Coyken- dallg a scrapbook committee, guided by Mary Ann Schoderg and a Letters to the Boys committee, super- vised by Carol Brower. j lfN ,- V4 .rl rn- 0 K T J WH H , Q X 43 Nh 1 f icky? lxgifi I in N lc 555 I i lx ,A ll f fr l -if ,fxlvlti li I 'NC liJlj 'xl ll f i' V Milli Alu Rilaiffzffyi l X- l A ' 'XY Cf I ill Engl X lg- fx J gi X R2 M :X1c T ' jj :Der-SFPQ elewlc, 53 0 ,X F? il 1 I VV l'fS'l'lI ll'ill.D ll'1lll'5-ll'.LY lli Published Biweekly by the Students of WESTFIELD SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Westfield, New Jersey Vol. XI, No. 9 March 9, 1945 EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief ..... - ,... - .,.. . .... . .... - .... . .... - .... .RUTH BRAUNSDORF Associate Editor ..... -... , .... - .... . .... . .... .ANN BRAHAM Managing Editor ..... .. .... - .... - .......... .EVE LAPEYROUSE News Editor ..... - .... -.. ...- .... . .... . .... - .... . .....

The club sent menu covers at Christmas time to Navy men aboard ship and also designed Easter cards for the service men at Lyons Hospital. To advertise town functions, the club filled many requests for posters on the paper collection and scrap drives, and also decorated store windows for the United War Campaign. To aid the school, the members advertised the Community Fair and the Senior Play. They, together with the regular art classes, made the sketches of school life for the year- book. ln the latter part of january, Marion Walstead, a member of the club, designed the Senior Class seal. Several members of the club entered some of their best sketches, posters, and water colors in the annual High School Art Exhibition at Bamberger's in Newark. In February the club planned an exhibit to show the school the different types of work the members had been doing. The officers for the year were President, Bill Singdahlseng Vice-President, Leslie johnsong Secre- tary, Adele Mitchell, and Treasurer, Tommy Wilson.

Varied programs of interest to all were ably presented at the monthly meetings. The entire group did remarkable work at the Community Fair, presenting a humorous skit that was very well received by the audience, while gaily costumed waitresses and flower girls enlivened the activity of the festive French Cafe. Re- freshments were prepared by capable, white- clad chefs. This year's officers were lane Skinner, presidentg Carol Rasmussen, first vice-presi- dent, june Crehore, second vice-president, Claire Hamilton, secretaryg and Glenn Taylor, treasurer. EL ATENEO Fostering better relations with Latin America is the splendid function of the Span- ish Club. This year much was accomplished through bringing Spanish culture to the Com- munity Fair by means of songs, souvenirs, and dances. During the first semester the club is lim- ited to second and third year students, but after an impressive initiation in january first year students are admitted. Under the capable sponsorship of Miss Stella Hemphill and Mr. Samuel Bunting, an enjoyable and varied pro- gram was planned by the following officers: President, Reed Warburton, Vice-President, Dorothy Wardg Treasurer, Carol Huntley, Secretary, Rita Hofeg and Corresponding Sec- retary, Katherine Sperry. l GERMAN CLUB Carrying on its program of learning about and stimulating interest in the German lan- guage, culture, and customs, the German Club. only in its second year, was an active influ- ence in the school. At the Community Fair the club presented a program built around a German Christmas. The girls' cafeteria was converted into a cafe and decorated with a Christmas tree and other appropriate embellishments. Some of these were made by several present and former stu- dents. Refreshments were served and Pfeffer- nuesse, Marzipan, and German Christmas cards were sold. The officers this year were james Bost- wick, president, Kenneth Brown, vice-pres'i- dent and treasurer, and Ellen Miller, secretary. The organization owes its success to its spon- sor, Mr. Mowen. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, sponsored by Miss Ger- trude Foutz and Mr. Edmund Allen, was established in l932 to stimulate interest in Roman life and customs. Any students who are or have been Latin students are eligible for membership. The officers were Consul, Bill Holadayg Vice-Consul, Margaret Brady, Scriptor, Phyllis Antleg and Quaestors, Margery Rost and Bill Smyers. They conducted programs featuring Latin crossword puzzles, riddles, songs, plays, and vocabulary games. Interesting talks on Latin subjects such as the Saturnalia also were presented. ln the spring the Rahway Club members were guest performers at a meeting followed by delicious refreshments. l 570 LITERARY CLUB Each month throughout the year the Liter- ary Club meets at the homes of members to discuss current best sellers and classics. Games in which book titles and authors are featured furnish many an enjoyable as well as instruc- tive evening. The highlight of the year's activ- ities is the annual theatre trip to New York. The club is composed of fifty members whose common interest in good literature makes for a congenial group. Programs are planned for each meeting by a program com- mittee, and the club is sponsored by Miss Margaret Dietrich. Officers for the year were Campbell jones, Edwin Hall, Catherine Barnett, lean Russell, and Louise Deitz. WRITERS' CLUB Those who aspire to write can receive help and inspiration, and have their poems, essays, and stories judged and criticized at the W'riters' Club. Some of these creative efforts have found publication in the WEATHER VANE, while others were added to the illustrated booklet which the members have compiled. The club is composed of forty sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who meet with Miss Dietrich, the sponsor, at the homes of the members once each month. All look forward to the annual theater trip to New York. The officers for the year were President, David Mintz, Vice-President, Albert jeffersg Secretary, Maxine Murray: and Treasurer, lohn Leeming. 058 LIBRARY COUNCIL The Library Council renders very import- ant service to the school and the library. Do- ing everything from carrying refreshments to collating books, the members learn that there is more to library work than meets the eye. Two periods a week are contributed by each member for such rewarding jobs as past- ing and stamping books, signing slips, straight- ening magazines, writing overdue cards, and charging books. Besides these duties there are out-ot-town meetings, war work, correspond- ence and treasure hunts to provide a full program. This year's officers were Betty Hall, presi- dent, Agatha Young, vice-president, and Nancy Dreier, secretary-treasurer. Miss Bible and Miss Scott are advisers. l l COLLECTORS' CLUB Eligibility in this club means having a collection, any collection. Service insignia, shells, maps, airplane pictures, automobile catalogues, stamps, bells, timetables, spoons, coins, butterflies--all have their devotees. At the monthly meetings one or more members give short talks and exhibit their collections, and refreshments are served, A trip to New York is scheduled for spring, Miss Olive Hammell, the sponsor, directed the activities of the club with the help of the officers, Wallace Higgins, presidentg Ed Christian, vice-president, Virginia Walker, secretary, and jean Thompson, treasurer. 590 060 COUNCIL OF PRESIDENTS With Bill Child as chairman and Carolyn Decker as secretary, the Council of Presidents began functioning last fall under the expert direction of Mr, William H. Warner. In the past, student opinion has been expressed through the many clubs, but.in recent years the need of a governing body to coordinate the club activities and supply an outlet for student opinion has been felt. Instead of establishing the usual type of student council consisting of representatives from each homeroom, it was decided by a group of students and teachers to try out a council made up of the presidents of the various school clubs. This year has been a trial year to determine whether this organization answers the needs of the school. lf it proves successful, a formal constitution will be drawn up and the organization will become a permanent one. Like most student councils the Council of Presidents concerns itself with problems about the school. Among the activities undertaken this year were recording extracurricular activity points, sponsoring Youth Week, obtaining an honor roll for servicemen who have lost their lives in World War Il, co-operating with the P.T.A., and publishing the handbook. Two social functions have been held this year, a tea given for the faculty and the council in the fall and a luncheon for the council in the spring. MR. WILLIAM H. WARNER NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Westfield Chapter of the National Honor Society during the year l944-45 has endeavored to maintain the standard set for it by its creed: to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage development of char- acter in the pupils of the Westfield High School. ln March, I944, sixteen of the present seniors were inducted into the organization. ln order to be worthy of this honor a student must be a senior or a junior, must rank in the upper ten per cent of his class, and must be outstand- ing in character, leadership, and responsibility. Mr. Warner is the sponsor of the organization, while the officers, all seniors, are as follows: William Child, presi- dentg john Fell and Charles Henry, vice-presidents, Margaret Greene, secretary, and john Corke, treasurer. The senior members are Mary Beth Bockius, Ruth Braunsdorf, Carolyn Decker, George Haskew, Wallace Higgins, Campbell jones, Marie Meigs, Duncan Mitchell, Marjory Stephenson, Vilma Lee Wheeler, and james Wittke. At the time the yearbook went to press there had not yet been an election of new members. 610 062 CHESS CLUB The Chess Club provides an opportunity for students who enjoy playing chess to match themselves against others of the same caliber. lt also supplies a means for those who would like to learn to play chess to do so. The club has been active since l938. From its ranks come the members of the West- field High School Chess Team, probably the most successful team in the school. ln the last five years it has had twenty-eight matches with neighboring schools, losing none, tying one, and winning the rest. Mr. Gaston B. Cesner is the club's coach and sponsor, the present officers are Camp- bell jones, president, and Al Williams, secre- tary-treasurer. OUTING CLUB The Outing Club does everything and any- thing the members desire. At different times during the past year they went skiing, tobog- ganing, skating, hiking, bicycling, and even bowling. Their purpose is to enjoy themselves in the out of doors and by particpation in Sports. The club was started this year when an interested group obtained the necessary per- mission and drafted as their sponsor Miss Dietrich. When Miss Theurer, who had hiked with the American Youth Hostel, joined the faculty, she assumed full responsibility for the club. Everyone is looking forward to an even more active and more enjoyable program next year. CATALYST CLUB The purpose of the Catalyst Club is to fur- ther the interest of students in chemistry, but all students taking science courses are eligible for membership. The varied programs included a series of experiments and two motion pictures entitled To Each Other and Steel-lvlan's Servant. ln collaboration with physics students, the group presented a science show at the Com- munity Fair that consisted of entertaining and unusual demostrations. The sponsor, Mr. james C. Montgomery, gave much invaluable assistance to the club and its officers, President, jack Pitt, Vice- President and Treasurer, George Haskewg and Secretary, Duncan Mitchel. SLIDE RULE CLUB Although the Slide Rule Club is small, it has been active during the school year, and every member has made progress. At the club's first meeting the members were taught how to use the slide rule, and from then on the boys progressed to harder and harder problems until they took up difficult physics and chemistry problems during the last few meetings. The majority of the members are juniors and seniors. However, there are a few sopho- mores preparing for their future mathematical work. The officers were George Haskew, presi- dentg lack Walther, vice-president, jim Pauld- ing, treasurer, and jim Bostwick, secretary Q 5 ' ...- f l 630 GUIDANCE COUNCIL The Guidance Council, with the able as- sistance of Miss j. Isabella Dodds and Miss Mildred Fox, is a liaison group between the homeroom and the guidance office. Each homeroom has a representative to make sure that each student is reached. In the Guidance Council are discussed sub- jects of interest or importance to the school. Reports of these discussions often encourage homeroom discussion on such subjects as study methods, courtesy, and choices of col- leges and scholarships. Here too is introduced information on material available in the Ii- brary, in testing, in records, in films, in voca- tional and educational files. FORUM Again this year the Forum, deriving its name from the famous meeting place of an- cient Rome, carried out an active and inter- esting program. Devoted to the development of public speaking as well as to the discussion of the vital interests of the day, the group highlighted its program with an assembly forum on Compulsory Military Training After the War and a trip to the Town Meeting of the Air. This organization was ably guided by the faculty sponsor, Miss Mildred Fox. The offi- cers were President, jim Wittkeg Vice-Presi- dent, john Leemingg Secretary, Louise Deitzg and Treasurer, john Henry. Y 064 GIRL RESERVES The combined clubs of the Girl Reserves, under the leadership of Miss Mildred Fox and Miss Margaret Dietrich, had a successful year. Besides regular activities there have been bowling and swimming parties, suppers, serv- ice work for the Red Cross and the Children's Country Home, and the giving of assistance to a needy family. The meetings were held at the Y.W.C.A. every other Tuesday afternoon. At this time members participated in service work and oc- casionally heard a speaker who presented a discussion on personal or current problems. The senior officers were President, Louise Deitzg Vice-President, Libby Frolichg Secre- tary, Millicent Merkerg and Treasurer, Carol Huntley. SERVICE CLUB The purpose of the Service Club is to serve. Its members work in the office, deliv- ering notices and filing, they usher at plays and at other school functions, and perform numerous other duties. In the past the club has been in charge of many patriotic drives. Although it has been in existence only a few years, it has a large membership, consist- ing, unfortunately, largely of girls. The mem- bers serve on various committees such as pub- licity, art, ushering, and program. The officers, President, Barbara Hall, Vice-President, Betty jane Wicherng Secre- tary, Lois lackg and Treasurer, Sally Hall, have planned the activities under the guidance of Miss Alice Pelton. 650 i E ef ,2 ff f t x itll l ln. li l lllllli W W f Qt, 5 fl W WRU' KfLLER 0 66 RED CROSS COUNCIL This most essential organization began its activities in October by packing eighteen individual Christmas boxes tor boys and girls to be sent to National Head- quarters. Twenty others were sent to the British Red Cross in Wallasey, England. ln November the membership drive was as usual very successful, for IOOW enrollment was achieved. Box packing was also a pleasurable obligation in December, for articles for soldiers' Christmas boxes for Camp Kilmer were collected in the various home rooms. The group also packed ten educational boxes for the children in the devastated countries of Europe. Other activities have been sewing, rolling surgical dressings, collecting and packing warm clothing for Wallasey, making scrapbooks, and knitting afghan squares. The art department made Christmas menu cards for the Navy, while the woodworking department made games and bedside tables. The council sponsors are Miss Hewitt and Miss Pelton. This year's officers included Carol Snell, chair- mang Richard Cadmus, assistant chairman, Roy Mackay, treasurer, and Ann Vreeland, secretary. VICTORY CORPS Totaling close to two hundred enthusiastic mem- bers, the Victory Corps, which still remains the largest organization in the school, has made very definite progress this year. One of the first projects of the corps was the selling of war bonds and stamps during the sixth bond drive in December. Approximately S25,000 worth was sold, and students continued buying stamps throughout the year from Victory Corps members in homerooms. A paper collection was held about every six weeks, and it was the boys of the corps who rode around in trucks and collected the paper, while the girls rang doorbells and urged the folks to get the paper out on the sidewalk. An average of eighty tons of paper was raised for each collection. ln addition to this, the corps launched a drive for tin cans after mid-years, and the results were excel- lent. Prizes to the homerooms bringing in the most tin cans were awarded, and a contest between the sophomore, junior, and senior classes was held. Anyone interested in doing his part for the war effort is needed and is cordially invited to join the corps, This year's officers were President, jim Bostwickg Vice-President, jerry Smith: Secretary, Alistelle Petittg and Treasurer, lack Pitt. Mr. S. H. Bunting and lvlr. D. K. Ripley was co-sponsors. Q90 f TEN fl qfkxuv 158 Tir' L W 3 fn Q Q I l :figs f X J f' l A 45 N I , l ,, f l bf fa.. l C .

HI-Y Under the guiding hands of Mr. Donald Babcock and Mr. Walter E. johnson, jr., the Hi-Y continued as an active organization. The purpose of the club is to raise the lives of the boys to a higher standard of Chris- tian character by the presentation of an educational pro- gram and participation in community projects. The high spot of the year's activities was the Older Boys' Conference which was held in Westfield during the first part of December. This conference was ably presided over by Tom jenkins. During the year, several dances were held at the Masonic Temple and the Y.lVl.C.A. The New Year's Dance was the high spot of this program. All profits made from these projects were donated by the club to such organizations as the Community Chest and the Red Cross. At the beginning of the first semester, the annual initiation picnic, a traditional frolic, was held at Echo Lake Park. Here the new members were welcomed by the old members, whip in hand. The officers of the White Chapter are Bob Mclvlani- gal, president, Ed McGinley, vice-president, jack Pitt, treasurer, and john Ward, secretary. Those of the Blue Chapter are john Ludlow, president, Mac Conrad, vice- president, Tom jenkins, treasurer, and Gavin Taylor, Secretary. JUNICR AUXILIARY During this school year the members of the lunior Auxiliary were active in fulfilling their aims of aiding the Children's County Home by entertaining the children and contributing to the financial support of the Home. Many projects were carried out with enthusiasm and consequent success. The Annual Sadie Hawkins' Barn Dance was attended by a record crowd, and apples sold well to hungry foot- ball spectators. ln spite of shortages of canned goods, a hearty response was received to a request for Thanks- giving contributions of food and money. Santa Claus made his appearance at the Home with presents, refreshments, and fun for all the children. The Auxiliary also led the student body in the March of Dimes, which made all more conscious of the need for support in striking against lnfantile Paralysis, Dances and sales followed, and the organization closed another year by electing officers who will carry on the tradition of joy in giving joy to others. Under the capable leadership of Carolyn Decker, president, and Miss Gertrude Foutz, adviser, the girls were able to live up to the fine record set by last year's group. Mrs. Troeber, the Senior Auxiliary adviser, was replaced in january by Mrs. Broback. Other officers were Betty Ann Davies, Catherine Barnett. and Mary Ellen Riley. 690 S S N 5 mf s , 41, K N XL X dc, MASK AND MIME With the successful production of the fall play, Very Untruly Yours, and the staging of the Christmas Program, the Mask and Mime has seen an active and prosperous year. This large club, with its more than one hundred members, maintains its efficiency through its excel- lent council and its fine committees. The Mask and Mime Council, the governing body of the club, de- termines the policies and activities of the organization at meetings held at intervals throughout the year. This council consists of thirteen members and is headed by the club president. The club committees, especially the stage and lighting committees, have assisted in the various assembly programs throughout the year and were in charge of the sets for the fall play and the senior play. The climax of the year's activities was a trip to see a play in New York. This annual visit to see a Broad- way production is a tradition and is always a gala time. Miss Sheila May Callaway, known to her charges as Miss Cal, was the courageous director of this lively organization, while the officers for the year were Edwin Hall, president, Peggy Anderson, secre- taryg and Sally Hanson, treasurer. 070 5, 'I 'm ,-,- f :Km gk., , Q 1 'ax l ' ' I x 15 A wav. 1 X' X wg-1: mwwx A, ,ff iff? .- A t WT 533:19 4,1 VERY UNTRULY YOURS 2'- ,V KX Vs N M. - 'Q MT, 5451 me 4 vm 'ftp ,fy y Y I 1, 4 X Sw .

Written by lvloss Hart and George S. Kaufman and ably directed by Miss Sheila Mae Callaway, the play concerns the many trials and tribulations that Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, their family, friends, and town must endure during the stay of Sheridan Whiteside, outstanding author and critic, after a fall on their doorstep in which he suffered a hip injury. Despite an impending epidemic of chicken pox, a serious case of laryn- gitis, and a downfall of snow, the entire cast came through with splendid performances. David Mintz nobly lived up to his title of class actor in his portrayal of the self-centered critic, Sheridan Whiteside. Sally Evans gave an excellent performance as a gold-digging actress, Don Ayres made a de- cided hit as a screwball, the Henry brothers proved their versatility and their ability to cope with any emergency, and the cast as a whole delighted the audience. Credit for the success of the play should also go to Mr. Warner, the various committees, the members of the class who sold so many tickets, and the teachers who aided the production.

The story of the Nativity of the Manger was presented in eight beautiful tableaux, the effectiveness of which was due to the excellent supervision of Miss Harriet Howard, head of the Art Department, and Miss Sheila Callaway, in charge of the Dramatic Department. The students appearing in these were Marilyn Parker, Marilyn Colby, Letty Glimm, Thomas Harms, David Luessenhop, jack jeske, Phil Parizeau, Charles Frankenbach, Tom jones, james Alexander, joy Borgeson, Lois Woodward, Sue Correll, Shirley Baldwin, Nancy Hills, and David Green.

The first public performance of this year's W.H.S. choir was the traditional Christmas Service, which in its beauty and simplicity presented an accomplishment worthy of praise. lts next achievement was the Spring Music Festival, at which the great diligence and the splendid training of this organization were displayed. Among the outstanding selections chosen were The Battle Hymn of the Republic by Wilhausky, the American Folk Song, Cindy, Rustling Leaves by Thach, and Set Down Servant, a noted Negro spiritual. Later in the spring the choir entertained both the junior high school and the grade schools with various compositions. ln addition to the choir there are the C-irls' Chorus of eighty-six voices accompanied by Claire Hamilton and the Boys' Glee Club of forty-nine voices accompanied by Cordon Crane, whose excellent work in contributing to the Christmas Assembly, the Music Festival, and the Music Week celebration was indispensable. The Boys' Double Quartette, whose members are Robert McManigal, Ernest Taylor, Malcolm Conrad, Donald Brown, james Perry, Everett jackson, Roy Mackay, john Ludlow, and Stewart Clark, must also be commended for its excellent singing. 750 Busy as bees should be the slogan for the W.H.S. instrumental department, for that is what they have been, playing for football games, assemblies, lvlask and Mime play, senior play, band concert, Spring Festival, and Red Cross Drives. Under Mr. Harold A. Warford's directorship, the band and orchestra participated in almost all school activities and gave their fullest cooperation where and when it was needed, Because this was such a successful year for the Westfield Senior Hi h School football team the band marched from. 8 , many of the home games as well as to them. The band president, Don Ayres, was the composer of a new school song Give a Cheer for the Blue and White, which became as popular as any of the old songs. The officers are President, Don Ayres, Vice-President, john Leemingg Secretary-Treasurer, jay Wilcoxg and Librar- ians, Pat De Barger, Lois Cohen, and Nancy McCoy.

The team, with no lettermen returning from last year, made a rather good showing in losing to a much more experienced Plain- field outfit in the opener, 34 to 25. lt was to be a long time, however, before the Blue and White were to taste victory. On the eve of the Summit game, Mr. Lewis took over the coaching reins because of lvlr. Freeman's illness. That evening, playing one of the best games of the season, Westfield toppled Summit 36 to 33 in a thrilling game. A week later, the WHS courtmen repeated the performance, defeating a once triumphant Somerville, 52 to 40. These victories were to suffice for the season, however. High scorers for the year were lack Reydel and Bob Dough- erty with l56 and l34 respectively. 080 Of this year's lettermen, including Bill Comrie, john Corke, Bob Dougherty, Charlie Frankenbach, lay Reydel, lack Salvato, Paul Smith, and Captain Don lVlacCloskey, four veterans will return next year, thus there is a better outlook for the i945-46 basketball season.

This success was largely due to the coaching of Mr. Edmund Allen and his assistant, Mr. james Montgomery. After losing two meets to Plainfield and Colum- bia, 48 to I8 and 42 to 24 respectively, the Blue Devils won the first meet in two years by beating Fairlawn, 45 to 21. Losing again to Columbia 4I to 25, W.H.S. came back to beat South Side 53 to I3. A strong Newark team defeated us 42 to 24, but this misfortune was followed by a trio of victories over Bloomfield, 42 to 243 Pingry, 48 to Ilg and Pingry again, 40 to 25. At the State Meet, West- field took fourth place with 20 points. The team had as co-captains this year, Bob Berry and Allen Malcolm, swimming back and breast stroke, respectively. Berry placed second in the State Meet. Other Westfield stars were Brent Clarke, lim Stockslager, and Bob McManigal, all swimming free style races, and Bill Fieldman, div- ing ace. Wally johnson was senior manager. I -1.3.------,., 810 BASEBALL Coach joe Freeman should have a good season this year on account of the fact that there are eight lettermen returning to action. The Blue Devils hopefully face a nineteen game schedule. Almost every position is filled by a letterman. The infield will probably consist of George Clarke at third, john Corke at short, Bill Comrie at second, and lack Salvato, a substitute last year, holding down first. The outfield posts will be occupied by lack Reydel, Loren Rodewig, and Don McCloskey. Charlie Frankenbach and lim Cham- bers will do the hurling, with Bob Dougherty behind the plate. Hubert Foster will handle the managerial duties. Foster MacCloskey Corke Ffankenbafh 0 82 TRACK With no letter men returning and with two new coaches, the prospects for this year's track team are far from bright, The new coaches, Clarence Mowen and Bart Ellis, hope to build up a strong group from the new boys. Real achievements are expected from Tom Harms, Bill Mott, Bob Berry, and Monk Armstrong, all of whom saw action last year. At present a schedule is unavailable, but the team is expected to enter the County Meet, the Perth Amboy Relays, and the Board of Education Meet in Newark. Vic Olearo is senior manager. TENNIS Fresh from another championship season, the Westfield High School Tennis Team finds its prospects for the season dependent upon such diverse factors as Micky McManigal's military status and Cav Taylor's eligibility. However, Paul Smith, john Zeiller, and jim Stockslager show promise as dependable main- stays. Mr. Samuel Bunting provides the excel- lent coaching, and john L. Fell is senior man- ager. 830 084 GOLF The outlook for the golf team is rather grim, for there are no Iettermen back this season. Coach johnson's squad is composed entirely of new men who have to be developed into a team. ln the coach's opinion the most promising men are Allen Malcolm, jay Wilcox, and Donald Hann. At the time of publication a schedule was unavailable, but Mr. johnson was hoping tc arrange several matches. BOYS' ATH LETIC COMMITTEE The Boys' Athletic Committee is composed of the elected representa- tives on the Athletic Council. This committee conducts the athletic affairs for boys in the school. Teams are put into competition in all major sports, and all awards are made by this organization. The equipping, financing, and scheduling of out- side competition are also conducted by this group. , i A A , 1? .l ' T ' t Zfki 6 2 i - I , 4 - ii: fr A u 3 iw! lm,. i pf CHEER SQUAD With the irrepressible and undying spirit of all Westfield toward football this year, the Westfield High School cheer squad was out on the field in all kinds of weather to cheer our undefeated team on and on. Every game held new thrills and every pep rally renewed spirit. Miss Gertrude M. Swift was the able sponsor. This year some of the talented members of the squad also originated and revised cheers. Varsity letters were awarded to those seniors who had served on the squad for three years. The recipients were jane Dens, Peggy Shan- non, jim Wittke, Ken Brown, and Charles and john Henry. The other senior members of the squad were Margaret Brady and Alice Richter. Underclassmen were Marilyn Colby, Marjorie Hohenstein, David Green, Doris Keller, Libby Young, and joseph Ainsley. An added attraction at the home games was Loraine Day, the four year old daughter of Coach May. The efficient cheer squad should be given credit for being recog- nized by all the nearby communities as leading one of the best spirited high schools in New jersey. and 850 GIRLS' ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Cirls' Inter-Class Athletic Committee, which consists of one representative from each home room, meets weekly to discuss and deter- mine the girls' physical education activities. This year under the officers, jane Dens, chair- man, Carolyn Decker, vice-chairman and program chairman, Peggy Anderson, treasurer, and Betty Broback, secretary, numerous noteworthy projects were undertaken. The first award was changed to a small white W on a royal blue background. A Lost and Found department, separate from that of the Service Club, was organized under Carc Sanford. Under the Housekeeping Committee, Dc jessee, Mary Ellen West, and Ellen Miller, severe improvements were effected in traffic, safety, an health conditions in the girls' locker rooms. In the fall W.H.S. acted as hostess school t the New jersey Field Hockey Tournament. Si. Westfield girls participated in the competition three others filled vacancies. Nancy Dreier madi the honorary team, and Nancy jenkins, Peggy An derson, and jane Dens, the reserve team. Whei ballots were cast at the close of the season for thi All-Westfield honorary squad, Phyllis Brinkman Peggy Anderson, janet Alpers, jane Dens, Margare Brady, Hope Rowan, Marjory Rost, Carolyn Decker jean Russell, Nancy jenkins, and Nancy Dreier were elected. Although six of these were WACS to thi WAVES' five, the WAVES defeated the WACS if the annual contest. An elaborate sports program, a Community Fai game room, a physical education demonstration and officers' training were all part of the activ ities so ably directed by Miss Swift and her assist ant, Miss Engelke. 086 Qea tureA ,,....
