JUDY HALL, Editor-in-Chief THEWEATHER WESTFIELD SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL VANE . . . 1948 WESTFIELD, NEW JERSEY DEDICATION In appreciation of his competent guidance as our senior adviser, we, the members of the Class of 1948, dedicate this twenty-seventh issue of the Weather Vane Annual to Weyman 0. Steengrafe, 4 MR. WEYMAN 0. STEENCRAFE B.S., M.Ed. Sincere interest in the students, trusty leadership, and active participation in every phase of school life during his five years on the faculty of the Westfield Senior High School have made Weyman 0. Steengrafe a respected friend of all. Born in Newark, Mr. Steengrafe attended Rutgers University. After attaining a B.S. degree, he received a fellowship for a year's graduate work culminated by a degree of Master of Education. Now he is continuing his studies toward a doctorate. Before coming to Westfield Mr. Steengrafe taught seven years in Hillside in the high school from which he was graduated. Though problems of American democracy is his forte, he has taught American history, economics, sociology, and world geography. For the past three years he has been faculty adviser to the Senior Class and to the National Honor Society. During the recent war Mr. Steengrafe served as an instructor in the United States Army for twenty months and as a Separation Center counselor for seven months. This experience intensified his belief in world peace through international cooperation. Last year active interest in government prompted Mr. Steengrafe to run for the state legislature. Although defeated, he gained political knowledge which has made his classes vivid and challenging. Outside of school Mr. Steengrafe is the director of the Westfield Adult Evening School and a member of the State Speakers’ Bureau of the American Association for the United Nations. In his leisure time he enjoys playing volleyball and traveling with his wife. His enthusiastic support of free discussion by students has constructed within us an unbiased outlook on current problems, and the high ideals which he has instilled in us will always remain criteria by which we may live. CYNTHIA SMITH JOYCE POWELL 5 I congratulate you upon having reached this important goal in your educational careers. Your achievements have been in direct proportion to the effort that you have put forth. Your further education, whether it be in or out of school, will likewise depend on the effort you expend on it. In the short space of time that I have known you I have learned to admire your ability to get things done, your initiative in attacking new problems and above all, your friendliness. My earnest wish for you is that you retain those same characteristics; and as life unfolds before you, it will be a broad, even highway leading to happiness and success. S. N. EWAN, JR., Supervising Principal ROBERT L. FOOSE, B.A., M.A. It has been a very real pleasure to work with you this year. Your spirit of cooperation, broad interests, and poise are qualities which are developed to a high degree in this class, as they always have been in Westfield Senior High School. Now that your careers are about to begin in business, the home, or through work in institutions of higher learning, you are aware of the tremendous challenge of the future. Seek more education, use to advantage the lessons you have learned here, and work everlastingly to make the world a better and more peaceful place in which to live. ROBERT L.

Bordner and Miss Harriet S. Howard, sponsor and art adviser respectively, and Mr. Comer Lewis, financial adviser, Editor-in-Chief Judy Hall and her staff have tried to make the 1948 edition of the Annual one to be long remembered. This year the padded cover of blue and white has been retained, but four pages have been added to the book. The title page features pictures of student gathering places superimposed upon a map of the town of West-field and has been executed by Laura Weaver. The editor was assisted in her work by many committees, headed by the following: Noreene Sceurman, write-ups: Eleanor Child, pictures: Pete Bickett, sports: Diane Kessler, class will and superlatives; Janet Driver, activities; Carol Hanson, feature pictures; Paul Piret and Jane Craig, dramatics; Cynthia Smith and Joyce Powell, dedication. Clubs and other school organizations were written up by the president or one of the other officers. Pat Klein and Thelma Larson gave special assistance to the editor. The Class of 1948 is indebted to Miss Howard’s art classes for the sketches which appear throughout the book, and to Miss Colley's and Mrs. Timberlake’s classes for some assistance with the typing of material.

I’, p- HI'S—EYE In addition to selling candy, frankfurters, and ice cream, the versatile journalists sponsored a cake sale and modified Hi’s-Eye policy to include local advertising as a supplementary source of revenue to national advertising and SAT funds. The staff felt that the added income would make possible two more issues than the scheduled four, without affecting the quality of the paper. Editor Dick Fischer and his associates, Bob Huddleston and Brock Brower, widened the scope of news to embrace all fields of interest to WHS students. Hi’s-Eye gave front page publicity to the record-breaking accomplishments of the various athletic teams. The sen- ior play, CBS survey, band concert, music festival, and clubs vied for top news positions. About once a year some article from the Hi's-Eye” catches the national eye. This year was no exception, for Huddleston's High Degree of Social Democracy was reprinted in the New York World Telegram, which referred to Bob as a hard-hitting editor.” Part of the success of the staff activities was made possible by the guidance of Mr. Napoleon Jean Papale, adviser, who worked in close harmony with the group. Through his efforts the separate strands of talent were gathered together into a fine working unit. 69 WEATHER VANE MAGAZINE Although the high cost of living hit the school magazine hard, the staff managed to publish two attractive issues. The work on these was done during third period on Thursdays. The December issue was filled with Christmas cheer and also contained a detailed account of the champion football season so that students might have a more or less permanent record of its glories. The May issue was a spring miscellany and featured the work of underclassmen. A short story contest resulted in awards to Brock Brower, Frances Heerich, and Marcelle Thiebaux. In February the staff entered the two most recent issues in the annual contest conducted by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, but on account of the National Society induction no delegates attended. A short story, The Christmas Spirit, by Brock Brower; a poem, Fragment, by Joyce Could; and an editorial, “Tribute to a Leader, by Walter Baughman, were entered in the special literary contest. Officers for the year were Diantha White and Ed Wise, co-editors, and Raymond Grant, treasurer. The very able sponsors were Miss Dolores Bordner, Miss Harriet Howard, and Mr. Robert L. Foose. The final event of the year was a tea for new members on May 27. 70 ART CLUB J« « G 8� tTaow The Art Club, comprising most of Miss Howard's art classes, contributed much support to town and school enterprises through the members' ability to wield a paint brush and contribute attractive advertising posters. The Mask and Mime Play. Christmas Program, Spring Festival, P.T.A. Fashion Show, Senior Play, and the Band Concert have all benefited from the group's artistic talent. A group of beginners in oil painting met on Monday afternoons after school for instruction in this phase of art. Those proficient in water color painting entered paintings of scenes about West-field in the exhibition of high school art held at Bamberger’s by the Scholastic Magazine. An interesting event in this year's club activity was the splendid meeting in February of the Westfield Art Association to which the Art Club was invited. A good example of the outstanding work of which the members are capable was the decoration of the windows at Doerrer's with eerie ghosts and witches at Hallowe'en. The success of the Art Club was due mainly to the sponsorship of Miss Harriet S. Howard. The club officers are President, Joan Garretson; Vice-President, Laura Weaver; Secretary, Marianna Carl-sol; Treasurer. |eanne Schaeffer; and Program Chairman, Jean Brown. 1 LITERARY CLUB WRITERS' CLUB The Literary Club's versatile organization, including both juniors and seniors, has given its members a fuller understanding and appreciation of past and current writings. Included in this year's programs were discussions of American dramas and novels as well as of foreign literature At several meetings guest speakers joined the group to add to the variety and reality of the topics presented. In April the club attended The Winslow Boy. The officers for the year were President, Joyce Powell; Vice-President, James Podboy; Secretary, Nancy Hardie; Treasurer, Doris Andrews. Miss Margaret Dietrich is to be thanked for her sincere interest as the club sponsor. The Writers' Club, which meets the second Tuesday of each month at the home of a member, acts as a testing ground for the aspiring authors in the school. At the meetings contributions are read and constructive criticism is offered. During the year short stories, essays, plays, and poems are written and several selections are entered in the Newark Evening News” Writing Contest. In the spring a Broadway play is attended. The club is sponsored by Miss Margaret Dietrich and has as its officers Brock Brower, president; Abigail Tucker, vice-president; Cretchen Loesch, secretary; and Cynthia Culdi, treasurer. GERMAN CLUB SPANISH CLUB Under the direction of Miss Louise Theur-er the German Club meets on the last Thursday of each month at the home of a club member. At these meetings German songs are sung, games are played, and refreshments are served. Occasionally a trip to a German movie in Irvington is substituted for the regular meeting. An annual field trip is taken to New York where dinner is enjoyed at a German restaurant and visits are made to exhibitions of a cultural nature. The following officers served for the year 1947-1948: President, Bob Hefferman; Vice-President, Ed Wise; Secretary, Virginia Williams; and Treasurer, Carolyn Wellman. The members of El Ateneo, interested in speaking Spanish and in learning about Central and South America, devoted their monthly meetings to games, songs, and short plays. Of special note this year were the Christmas meeting at the president's home, where carols were sung and the famous pinata was broken; the visit paid the club by jim Wilcox, who lives at International House; and the trip to New York after initiation. Barbara Fish, president; Ada Stuhler and Phil Brown, vice-presidents; Dolores Rakow-ski, secretary; and Janice Crow, treasurer, worked effectively under the able direction of Miss Hemphill and Mr. Bunting. LATIN CLUB FRENCH CLUB The Latin Club extends the opportunity to Latin students of learning to appreciate better the Roman language and customs and of being entertained at the same time. The members participated in such games as Latin charades, vocabulary games, and many other contests which enabled them to display their knowledge in an amusing manner. The club has once again had a successful year under the guidance of Miss Gertrude Foutz and Mr. Edmund Allen, advisers. The officers, under their official Latin titles, were Consul, Bonnie Bunting; Vice-Consul, Lynn McDavid; Scriptor, Lila Mudge; Quaestor, Sally McCoy; and Vice-Quaestor, Harry Montgomery. Le Quartier Latin, our French Club, has had a long and distinguished record. Its present advisers, Miss Gertrude Foutz and Mr. Gaston Gesner, are largely responsible for its success, and the beautifully drawn and painted posters that announce its monthly programs suggest the value and interest of its programs. Usually the piece de resistence for the year is a delightful excursion to New York where luncheon at a French restaurant is enjoyed and a French film is viewed. The officers are President, Eleanor Child; Vice-Presidents, David Hicks and James Pod-boy; Secretary, Jane Heitkamp; and Treasurer, Dianne Tiedeman. FORUM CLUB CATALYST CLUB The main purpose of the Forum Club is to foster interest in political, economic, and social issues of the day. Each student who likes discussion receives a chance to express his opinion, and thus meetings are diversified and interesting. This year the club organized and participated in an assembly program on universal military training which featured guest speakers, took trips to the Herald Tribune Forum, sent speakers to WAAT and to county forums, as well as holding monthly meetings on timely subjects. A dinner party with a guest speaker concludes the season. Miss Mildred Fox sponsored the group, and Geraldine Dysart served as president. Under the leadership of Mr. C Blair Rogers, the adviser, the Catalyst Club endeavors to further interest in chemistry in as many students as possible. Meeting monthly, the group presents varied programs including movies on chemistry, lectures on many important subjects, and many exciting discussions. Demonstrations are also given, and in the spring a trip is taken to some interesting plant or exhibit. Mr. Rogers was assisted by President, John Armantrout; Vice-President, Lynn McDavid; Secretary, Dianne Tiedeman; and Treasurer, Terry Brook. CHESS CLUB COLLECTORS' CLUB The year 1948 marks the eighth year of the Westfield High School Chess Club. During this period the Chess Club has engaged in scholastic competition and has won thirty-one games, tied one, and lost one — a notable record. At the regular Tuesday afternoon meetings the members engage in intraclub competition and receive instruction on the fine points of the game from Mr. Gaston B. Ges-ner, the club adviser. Club officers this year were President, Dick Ritterbush, and Secretary, Franklin Klion. The Collectors' Club this year is unique in one respect—each of its members has a different interest along with a common one. The different interests of the club's devotees are stamps, coins, cameos, minerals, airplane models, photographs, and old books. The common interest is collecting. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Olive Ham-mel Timberlake and holds its meetings on the second Tuesday of each month. The officers are Harold Potts, president; Bob Podboy and Paul Laughlin, vice-presidents; )im Podboy, secretary; and Bill Kuhlke, treasurer. LIBRARY COUNCIL TECHNICIANS' CLUB This year, as usual, the Library Council has been a very busy organization. About twenty students have devoted two periods a week to signing slips, charging and collating books, mounting pictures, et cetera. The Library Council has had a social calendar. In the fall the members held a party for the Cranford, Summit, and Scotch Plains Councils. On March 23 a delightful tea was held in honor of Mr. Gesner. Under the direction of Miss Scott and Mrs. Hall, the Library Council and its efficient officers, Edna Kirn, president; Flora Van Hecke, vice-president; and Naomi Creifer, secretary, have had a most successful year. The Technicians' Club, under the direction of Mr. John W. Thompson, consists of a group of seventeen students who show all motion pictures used in the school and devote their free periods to this service. The club members are trained to operate the machine and to make minor repairs and adjustments. They give pre-views of all films for assembly, sports, club and classroom programs and then show the films for the benefit of the students. The president of the organization is Jim Scudder. He is ably assisted by Warren Hopkins, vice-president; Jack Cardoza, secretary; and Ted Schasny, treasurer. HI—Y SERVICE CLUB Under the leadership of Mr. Donald Babcock, Boys' Work Secretary, and Mr. Graham Beckel the Westfield Hi-Y Clubs completed their most successful year. National recognition was given the West-field Hi-Y for outstanding work on behalf of the World Youth Fund. It raised more than fifteen hundred dollars. The Hi-Y has also sponsored discussion groups, an assembly program, and dances, including the annual New Year’s Eve Dance. The officers of the Senior Blue and White Chapters are as follows: E. Wise and B. Fox, presidents: W. Smith, W. Wilson, vice-presidents; P. Rochat, R, Willig, secretaries; J. Scudder, P. Bickett, treasurers: R. Herr, R. Hefferman, chaplains. Under the guidance of Miss Alice Pelton the officers of the Service Club, President, Peggy Hollberg; Vice-President, Patricia Murphy, Secretary. Betty Sue Stewart; and Treasurer, Lois Sollenberger, have planned the numerous activities of one of the school’s most useful groups. The regular activities consist of ushering, delivering notices, assuming corridor duties, and doing office work. A major outside activity is the selling of greeting cards for Mr. White at Christmas time, a successful project conducted under the direction of committee chairmen. Every active member of the one hundred and fifteen in the club contributes one period a week to club service. JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL The Junior Red Cross is not an actual club or extracurricular activity of the school, but the organization has added an excellent record of service and generosity to the many attributes of our school. The notable response and assistance on the part of every student has brought the unior Red Cross Council through with flying colors on every drive sponsored. The first of these drives was the membership drive, the goal being one hundred per cent. The second campaign was a clothing drive, an annual undertaking not conducted under the auspices of the Red Cross but carried out under the guidance of Miss Hewitt, supervisor of the Red Cross in WHS, with the aid of the faculty and students. Other praiseworthy undertakings have included ash trays for disabled veterans, gift boxes for Europe, and painted decorations, also for disabled veterans. The ash trays were made by the woodworking department; the gift boxes were bought with funds collected by the entire school; and the decorations were painted by the art department. These and other commendable service activities constitute a fine record. B. DOLMN 79 STUDENT COUNCIL This year the Student Council, in its third year of organization, started to develop as the governing body of the school, a position it should rightfully hold. With many enthusiastic and intelligent representatives, its main object seemed to be to show the student body that the council is a living organization. Accomplishment came through the well-remembered assembly program in January. Another task the Student Council undertook was the cleaning up of the grounds. Their approach was twofold: first, through a poster campaign and secondly, by direct contact with homerooms. The council also conducted a club activities poll which was not very successful in the sense that few students were interested enough to give full answers. However, recommendations for new clubs grew out of this survey. It became evident throughout the year that West-field High School’s Student Council will become a powerful organization only when the student body gives its full support, elects the best representatives and officers, and takes an active interest in the council's activities. No one can doubt that great strides in this direction took place this year. It is hoped that the Student Council will continue slowly and definitely to become the coordinating factor in student activities. This year’s officers were President, Ted Franken-bach; Vice-President, Richard Wheeler; Secretary, Marjorie Reeh; Treasurer, Nancy Harkrader. Mr. Harold S. Thompson and Mr. N. J. Papale were the advisers. 80 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage development of character are the aims of the Westfield chapter of the National Honor Society, whose sponsor is Mr. Weyman 0. Steengrafe. At the beginning of the year the senior members were Cynthia Smith, Dianne Tiedeman, Frances Heerich, Lucille Stewart, Marjorie Reeh, Carol Hanson, Bob Huddleston, Bill Glimm, Pete Bickett, Ed Wise, Janet Driver, Judy Hall, Letty Lea Thomas, Eleanor Child, Joyce Powell, Noreene Sceurman, Lucille Stuart, Abigail Tucker, Virginia Williams. However, on March 12 the membership of National Honor was increased by the addition of the following seniors and juniors to the roster: Faith Bockius, Susan Evans, Jean Frickman, Joan Carretson, Sally Haynes, Paul Piret, Laura Weaver, Diantha White, Jane Williamson, Despy Alvanos, Norine Braun, Brock Brower, Gertrude Bunting, Teresa Cacchione, Stuart Campbell. Marianna Carlson, Frederick Entwistle, Grace Gracey, Jane Heitkamp, Ann Smyers, Elizabeth Stor-nelli, Lois Walker, Wesley Yordon. This very impressive ceremony was performed in assembly for the second time. The new membership was kept secret until the initiation service. The officers for the 1947-48 year were President, Pete Bickett; Vice-President, Bill Glimm; Secretary, Dianne Tiedeman; and Treasurer, Joyce Powell. This scholarly group is obligated to the difficult task of holding as high as possible the intellectual standards of the school and of stimulating classmates to higher and more worthy achievements. 81 MASK AND MIME Mask and Mime, the high school dramatic club organized on the plan of a little theatre, had a membership this year of more than two hundred and fifty. The first project for the year was the presentation of the fall play, Berkeley Square. a period play by |ohn Bal-derstcn. This play was chosen by the club's council, the governing body, which includes the four officers, eight chairmen of standing committees, and the club's adviser, Miss Carol Brinser. Highlights of the meetings were a program of monologues: Bargain Basement, Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, and I’m so Mechanical : tryouts for a one-act play, and tryouts for the Christmas tab'eaux. The club helped with general assemblies, especially with the General Electric House of Magic and the Washington's birthday program. As a Christmas service project the club donated food, clothing, and toys to a needy family. In the spring a one-act play, The Valiant, was entered in the Newark University one-act play festival. In April, one hundred and seventy-two students saw the Theatre Guild’s production, Allegro. The officers for the year were Diantha White. Kay Dodge, Joanne Beane, and Bruce Love. a s¥-vS' OUV f .%l TO J QlVft C� 84 w 4‘b ni cLA Cltwtmas PlGCjiam carol sehvrf PROCESSION AI O Com Ewman 1 O-js-WM U U' Sib Cmlmry Fmj.m THE PROPMfXV “Th« M� w%h -O Tbo« Wm.

In winning ten games the “Elm Streeters rolled up 355 points to 106 for their opponents. They had enjoyed the third undefeated season the Blue Devils have had in the past seven years under the leadership of Coach Joe Freeman. Among the thoroughly enjoyable conquests by this team were the 26-15 revenge wreaked on Columbia, the 48-0 shellacking given to West Orange. and the final triumph in crushing Plainfield 32-12. Bound Brook ...................44-7 Summit .......................S9-13 West Orange ...................48-0 Ridgewood ....................40-12 Plainfield ...................32-12 BASKETBALL 94 The 1947-1948 basketball team compiled the best record of a Westfield aggregation since 1941, and it has been compared with the best of Westfield's teams. Mr. Comer Lewis, coaching for his fourth year, was fortunate in having a wealth of material with which to work. Two men had two years under his guidance and four others had had a year's experience. From the sophomore class came one varsity contribution. The team started out with an easy 58-24 win over Somerville, but victory was short lived, for a red hot Summit team cooled West-field 52-49. A skein of six straight victories was then wound, including wins over Plain-field, 48-41 ; Regional, 51-45; and Summit in a return game, 54-48. Columbia handed the Blue Devils their second defeat of the year, pulling away in the second half, 58-47. The team went on to finish the regular season, winning five more games and losing one. Plainfield scored an upset victory, but Regional was again soundly trounced 55-43. Westfield, for the first time in its history, went to the semi-finals of the County Tournament. Although they lost here, they went on to win the consolation game for third place. In the State Tournament the Blue Devils also exceeded previous records in going to the sectional finals before being upset by Edison 46-34. Several records were set including game and season scoring honors by the team and by an individual, Terry Brady, stellar forward. BASEBALL With a predominance of first-year men the 1947 WHS baseball team lacked the experience and power that counted in the pinch and because of this lost a goodly number of contests with close scores. There were days when the team’s hitting potentialities did not develop, and there were others when the fielding averages dropped considerably. Often games were lost through careless mistakes. It was not surprising, therefore, to see the nine drop all but three of their scheduled encounters, even though at times they showed a finesse that gave hopes of better times. However, they showed improvement throughout the season. This season Coach Noel Taylor starts with five returning lettermen who should form the nucleus of a fine team. In Ted Frankenbach, Sam Mitchell, and Rudy Stanzel he possesses three slugging infielders, who have improved considerably; for the field tasks he boasts Charlie Schrope and Jim Scott. The opening at second base will be contested for by Ron Seaman, who ably substituted there last year, while the heavy pitching chores will be borne by Ed Clark and Don Chambers. Nevertheless, the openings for new material are unlimited. Considering everything, Coach Taylor predicts a winning season. BILL Wilson 96 SWIMMING The return of six lettermen, Co-Captains Gerry McGinley and Frank Coale, Bob Clotworthy, Bill McKim, Spencer Foote, and Bud Weiland, helped to insure the swimming team of one of its best seasons. Edmund Allen was coach and Don Mackay, manager. In its initial contest with Pingry the team emerged victorious, 30-27. Then after losing the next two meets to Snyder and Plainfield, the natators overpowered Irvington, 30-27. Although hampered by illness, the Blue Devils finished their season with four wins, two ties, and seven losses. The team's record at several big meets was noteworthy. At the State Meet held in the Rutgers University pool WHS placed fourth. Bob Clotworthy for the second time won first place in diving; Ken Welch placed fifth in diving; Frank Coale came out second in the 200 yard freestyle; and Gerry McGinley placed fifth in the 100 yard breaststroke. The medley relay team, composed of McGinley, McKim, and Coale, who substituted for Weiland, won fourth place. At the Eastern Scholastic Championships at the Trenton High pool, Bob Clotworthy won the high school diving crown. At the conclusion of the season Ken Welch, Bob Herr, Brock Brower, and Don Mackay also received letters. Bob Clotworthy was elected captain for the 1949 season. 97 GOLF TENNIS On March 5 Coach W. Eugene Johnson, Jr. issued his first call for boys interested in golf. Twelve boys reported, among whom were four lettermen from the 1947 team, Terry Brady, who placed third in last year’s State Tournament, Bill Miller, Bob Willig, and Bill Graver. As the team has a rough ten game schedule plus the County and State Tournaments this season, it is fortunate to have veterans who placed third in the team standing in the State Tournament in 1947. Coach Sam Bunting's racketeers” will once again be led by their number one man, Bill Coumbe. The squad also expects to hand out defeats through the able playing of Don Wight, who was unable to play last year, and lettermen Johnny Hubbard and Paul Torger-son. The team has taken four state championships in the last few years, and hopes are high of adding another to this record by the end of June. A full schedule has been planned including matches at home and away with Pingry, Mill-burn, the Oranges, Plainfield, Morristown, and Perth Amboy. TRACK AND CROSS COUNTRY The Westfield spiked-shoe boys began with the modified Marathon races over the two and one-half mile course at Warinanco Park last fall. With only one letterman returning from last year's crack squad, the wing-ed-footers did well, hitting their high spot when they trounced Regional and Thomas Edison in a double dual meet. The lettermen are Bob Mulcahy, jack Sands, Gene Van Ronk, Buster Mott, and Alec Wanamaker. The last three will return to insure a good foundation for next year's squad. Coaches Melvin Michaels and Clarence Jones are following the indoor tuning up period with the colorful Penn Relays, and the Seton Hall and the Long Branch relay meets, as well as with a number of dual contests. Then as a climax to the season come the Northern New Jersey State meet and the Union County Championship meet. The team this year appears to be well balanced. Captain Bill Wilson and Art Hartigan are the hurdlers; Rick McCinley, Charley Me-keel, Art Sox, and Bill Hooper seem the fastest sprinters; while Mel Peterson, Gene Van Ronk, and George Edwards are the top 440 men. In the longer races, the half mile seems to be well handled by Buster Mott and Dick Welch, while the milers are Bob Mulcahy, Jack Sands, Jim Yordon, and Alec Wanamaker. The field events, although traditionally weak on the Blue and White campus, have Danny Brook soaring in the pole vault and Cerry McCinley, Bob Herr, Jay Eibelhauser, and Dick Brown heaving the weights. 99 G. A. C. B. A. C. The Girls’ Athletic Council, composed of one representative from each homeroom, meets weekly to discuss the affairs of the Girls’ Physical Education Department. Led by Cynthia Smith, president; Barbara Fish, vice-president; Bonnie Bunting, secretary; Marjorie Ruh, treasurer; and Mrs. Rogers, sponsor, the girls sold kerchiefs and car plaques and held a country dance, a record dance, and a two-way dance with the BAC. Six girls represented WHS at the North jersey Field Hockey Tournament. Barbara Fish, Pat Kinkead, and Norinne Braun were selected for the North Jersey school girls’ team. Many girls also participated in two modern dance symposiums. The Boys’ Athletic Council, sponsored by Mr, Robert Duncan, director of Boys' Athletics. is the responsible governing body for boys’ athletics. The group is composed of elected representatives from each homeroom. The officers for this year are Bill Wilson, pres;dent; Bob Clotworthy, vice-president; Dick Fischer, secretary; and Pierre Rochat, treasurer. The council, besides serving as a policy making, sponsors teams in almost all sports, buys their equipment, makes their schedule, and awards honors. It certainly has been successful in maintaining athletics in the Westfield High School on a high plane. GIRLS' SPORTS Because of the varied and extensive sports program offered to girls in WHS, every girl has the opportunity to develop skill in at least one activity which interests her, This year the program included field hockey, basketball, badminton, modern dance, dual sports, country dancing, marching, and officers' training. A new precedent was established when the boys were invited to join the girls’ fencing. Again the spring gymnasium demonstration was given. Led by Mrs. C. Blair Rogers and Miss Doris Acker, assisted by the C. A. C., the program has been carried out thoroughly and effectively for the benefit of all the girls. 101 ■ S I a � SQUAD Carol Hanson Barbara Fish Virginia Cole Jane Heitcamp Betty Rupert Joan Cooley Bob Clot worthy Paul Pi ret CHEER Marjorie Reeh Claire Watson Barbara Merrill Barbara Yoder Bunny Dolan Barbara Bowden Bill McKim Bruce Love oq trj 'pa cn HI M l d CLASS WILL We, the ambitious but discouraged class of 1948, our college applications unanswered and our futures dim, do hereby bequeath in our Last Will and Testament, to those still fired with the desire to learn and not yet disgruntled by tired teachers and independent employers, all those things dear to us which we are leaving behind as we pass through these ivy-supported walls into the great wide world.
