Teachers and principals, behold charitably your pupils after three years of molding and shaping in your hands. Pupils, behold your teachers and principals in the same spirit of tolerance. We hope you will like the works of our artists, photographers, and writers. The staff of The Weather Vane has worked diligently to preserve in these pages the spirit of Westfield High's forty-niners and to portray it — in a world intent on splitting atoms — against the background of the forty-niners a century ago in a mad rush for California and gold. May this book be a treasure house of pleasant memories for you. Gretchen Loesch, Editor-iii-Cbief Table of Contents Dedication .................... 4 Faculty ...................... 6 Administration .................. 8 Classes ......................... 9 Activities ............... -.... 55 Athletics ...................... 81 Features ....................... 97 We, the members of the Class of 1949, dedicate this twenty-eighth issue of the Weather Vane Annual to Mr. C. Graham Beckel whose leadership and sincere interest in our activities and welfare will remain in our hearts as lasting evidence of his righteous character and genuine understanding. Page 4 C. Graham Beckel,, M.S., B.S. Since Mr. C. Graham Bechet's introduction as a new member of the faculty three years ago, his sincere interest in the students and his enthusiastic participation in their activities have made him a respected leader and a trusted friend. A native of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, Mr. Beckel attended the Clark Preparatory School in Hanover, New Hampshire, and was graduated from Dartmouth College where he delivered the Address to the College at commencement. He is now doing work in curriculum development in the graduate school of New York University. Before coming to Westfield Mr. Beckel taught at the Palo Alto Military Academy in California, sold textbooks, and taught in the Huntingdon Senior High School. He entered the Army during the past war and received such honors as the Legion of Merit Award and the Italian Medal of Valor. Mr. Beckel's primary interest in school is the teaching of history. Outside class he has served as co-director of the Hi-Y, faculty chairman of the Junior Prom Decorating Committee, and representative of the high school on the Supervising Principal's Committee. Because of his philosophy of education, developing intelligently discriminating minds so that the Democratic State may be maintained, improved, and extended, our class may go forth more strongly fortified to accept the challenge of the world.

STEENGRAFE SENIORS Page 11 Leonard Ahlfeld Because of his interest in design and architecture much of Leonard's spare time is spent watching the building of nc-w houses. Even now he is regarded as studious and industrious, so the class looks forward to his ultimate success in architecture. Joyce Albers Tall and slim, Joyce is blessed with naturally curly hair. She keeps her circle of friends in constant laughter with her delightful witticisms, uttered with a gay twinkle in her eyes. After Christmas Joyce left us for California, her future home. Despy Alvanos On rainy days Despy protects those lustrous curls; perhaps she is afraid she'll lose them. Despy is a friendly girl with a delightful personality whose secretarial career is sure to be a success. According to her teachers, her commercial work is tops. Carolyn App This girl with the strawberry blonde hair and the twinkle in her green eyes, blushes becomingly at the right times. A natural in dress design, ' Irish also loves to dance, especially to Vaughn Monroe's music. No dull moments with Carolyn! John Armantrout Our man Armantrout entered the portals of old W.H.S., a bewildered sophomore. He soon learned the ropes and rose to the top. With a witty personality and an eye for the girls, Jack was not one to let studies interfere with his education. Kemp Allen Don't be deceived by this fellow's looks; he really gets around after 2:30. Although famous in school as an ear wiggler, Kemp is a radio bug and an aviation enthusiast about whom we expect to hear the unusual in the future. Page 12 June Arnold Although June is rather quiet, she has a pleasant personality and is a steadfast friend. You can find her in the library in the morning working on homework. Her quality of being very neat sets an example for others. Robert Arnold Handsome, black-haired Bob, who has a happy-go-lucky manner, appeals to all because of his friendly Hello and cheerful personality. A credit to our school, Bob was certainly welcomed back this year, after he had spent a year at military school. Shirley Arrants Shirley is best known for her gleaming reddish locks. An air of seriousness will be an asset in her business career and it has certainly not hindered the making of many friends. The library seemed to have an attraction for Shirley. June Bcndel Who would guess that this bubbling senior is an aviatrix? Though small of stature she has a big heart, and is always willing to help anyone. The life of any party, she will always be welcome wherever she may go. Joanne Bean Sweet, sincere, and suave is Joanne, and her snappy brown eyes and pretty smile add to her engaging personality. You can depend upon her to get everything done; and if you need help in any way. Joanne is a wonderful right-hand “gal. Alice Berastegui Everybody knows Stinky, that tiny bundle of pep, wit, and winning smile, who throughout high school has guarded the goal on the hockey field. Her athletic ability u'as proved by her being selected a member of the All-State Hockey Team. Page 13 Pat Boyle Determination, good looks, and a pleasant personality, add up to Pat. Friendliness and sincere interest in people are assets she may well use in the future. Any time of the day or night Pat can be heard humming California Here I Come. Theodore Binaris Ted is the fellow with the handsome profile and that special smile that makes his love life complex. After graduation he expects to go into business with his father; in the meantime he studies or drives around in his Chevy.” James Blackwood If you need help with physics, sec Blackwood. He's a whiz at any type of math or science, and he has won fame in the All-State Band with his licorice-stick. We hope he achieves his goal of being a chemical engineer. Allan Bonnell Mr. Slide Rule, himself, is a whiz in science. Possessing an extraordinary musical ability, he is a member of the Thirteen and plays the French Horn in the orchestra. Allan is interested in debating and very seldom loses an argument. Emmy Lou Betz Emmy is one of the quiet until you get to know her girls. She is the proud possessor of a gray convertible Ford coupe. Very neat in appearance, Em” leaves a pleasant impression on everyone she comes in contact with. Howard Billson Would you like a nice T-bone steak about two inches thick,cheap? See Howard, our class butcher. He is one friendly guy, always ready with a joke. Howard's experience as a butcher will assist him when he gets out on his own. Page 14 Brock Brower Wham!! There goes the editor of the Hi'j-Eye, valuable member of the football team, sprinter on the swimming squad, and president of the National Honor Society. Probably the most respected fellow in the school, Brock has won many friends. Norinne Braun Brains, personality, and athletic ability all combine to make Non-nie an outstanding ’49er. Being an officer in the National Honor Society as well as a player on the All-State Hockey Team for two years is proof of her refreshing versatility. Isabel Brearley The four s's—sincerity, simplicity, sympathy, and serenity are attributes which typify lb. She begins singing in choir and sings herself through classes, sports, and the homeward trek. She is pep, vim, and vigor personified. Terry Brooke This active member of the Hi-Y and the Literary Club is manager of the swimming squad. With his talent in performing magic tricks, he is bound to pull success out of the hat. His ready laughter indicates his responsive nature. Blanche Bryant Bamps —to her friends—has a favorite pastime, Fred, and as her favorite talent, voice. She hopes to continue her musical education in the future. Her friendly smile and sparkling eyes make an irresistible combination for attracting friends. Daniel Buccino Danny, the owner of a 1936 sedan, could be seen daily taxiing two of Mr. Freeman s best players to the field house. This popular member of the Boys' Glee Club, will go places because of his inexhaustible supply of energy. Page 15 Giles Buhrendorf Giles may be very quiet and unassuming, but he is quite friendly once you get to know him. Giles is consistent in his studies and so stands very high in the class. The band profits by his musical ability. Elsie Buist Where are those beautiful notes coming from as the band marches down the field? Why from Elsie's glockenspiel! Elsie's active in both of our school instrumental groups and is a swell sport. We know with her leadership and determination she'll go far. Carol Bunnell This vivacious blonde with the infectious giggle can usually be found studying, looking for her glasses, or just having fun. Her zest for living and ability to make friends will take her far. Her sincerity and enthusiasm will make her an asset to Wilson. Bonnie Bunting A combination of brains, personality and love of sports makes Sam's daughter one of the most versatile members of our memorable class. This young lady is outstanding for her light-hearted nature and her high integrity. Bonnie will always distinguish herself in any endeavor. Teresa Cacchione Terry — brains? You bet, but much more too. Her very slick figure and beautiful clothes plus one of the best personalities, make her tops. If you are in the Navy, Terry is bound to want to meet you. Stewart Campbell Stew is no stooge, for he is a member of the National Honor Society. His tall frame fills the president's chair of a Hi-Y chapter. An expert on hieroglyphics and one of our better trackmen, Stew is one swell guy. Page 16 Eleanor Canfield As they say in French, Ooh-Ia la!” Always on hand and adding to the tun, Bunny has her fingers in almost every activity in W.H.S. This spunky gal with the sparkling smile and tw inkling eyes can always be seen at social events. Jack Cardoza Jack, our lighting expert, is an ardent and experienced photographer. From the examples of his work, Jack looks like a future businessman in the field of photography. Have you ever bought one of his pictures? You must be a millionaire. Marianna Carlson A ready smile and a quiet, unassuming personality make Marianna one whose acquaintance will long be cherished. She has been one of the most sincere and energetic workers in our class. Her even temper will insure her success in the future. Nancy Carter Versatility, smooth clothes, and good looks are all attributes of Nancy. This small brunette with a contagious giggle and sincere manner has a personality enhanced by side-splitting remarks uttered with naive solemnity. May she never change except in name. Anthony Carnevale Tony, the best-dressed member of our class, has a smile as big as his wardrobe. He achieved fame for his football prowess at W.H.S. on the all-state and all-county teams. Tony hopes to attend Notre Dame and become one of the Fighting Irish. Edward Clark Ed, Zoogie,” or whatever you want to call him, has added life to many a party. His good nature, newr jokes, and loud laughter, will long be remembered. Mixed with these qualities his application to study will certainly mean success. Robert Clotworthy Captain of the WHS. Swimming Team and the greatest diver Westfield has ever seen, is Bobby. A friendly greeting, a jolly smile, and an extraordinary personality characterize him. Whether it be dic ing, college, or career. Bob will certainly come out on top. 5cotl’s Bluffs Christine Colapietro Friendly, sw'eet, and cute are a few of the adjectives appropriately describing Chris. Chris is always willing to do things for others and always tries to do things well. With her friendly personality and flashing smile, Chris will go far. Jane Cogswell Jane is one of the most active members of choir and girls' chorus. She is certainly very talented, having been blessed with a lovely soprano voice. Jane also possesses a sweet, unaffected manner and a wonderful brand of sincerity. Janet Colby Ma, She’s Making Eyes at Me” might well be the theme song of Janet's admirers. Janet possesses fine artistic and musical ability. Al though she has in general a calm disposition, she doesn't by any means lack a wonderful sense of humor. Helen Cole Straight ahead to Dr. Cole. Always looking for the percentage of HoO in the human body or in the innards of a frog, she is bound to excel in research. Dependable and conscientious, she is a credit to anything she undertakes. Joan Corbett Choir, chorus, Triple Trio, hockey, basketball, G.A.C., clubs . . . gosh! When does Cor have time to hold so many friends! This girl is peppy, pretty, and popular all at the same moment. Where going? Baseball game? We bet we know why! Page 18 Paul Davis One of our senior managers, Paul was an important link in our successful business season. The glint in Paul's eye may be interpreted as mischievous or just plain fun-loving. Either way this happy-go-lucky fellow can always be relied upon to make a party a success. Jeanne Cowie Beautiful blonde hair, good figure, and flashing smile typify Jean-nie. She can be found behind a pair of knitting needles or running around carrying out her many duties. This brainy diplomat will certainly straighten out our foreign problems some day. Virginia Cross Take a pleasant disposition, add good looks and brains, and you have Ginny. Gin isn't the type to sit back and let others make the jokes. She can crack some terrific ones herself. She is an ardent horse lover and good hockey player. Fred Cunningham A quiet, unassuming lad in school, but just say something detrimental about the Pittsburgh Pirates and you're in a hot argument. Fred can usually be found at the Y playing basketball or talking sports with some of his buddies. Joyce Deets This petite blonde lends a cheery touch to the old halls of W.H.S. An ardent commercial student and zealous tap dancer, she is full of fun. Joyce can usually be seen having a gab session” with Sue at the Candy Kitchen. Diamonte Del Monico This boy came to our school from far away Italy. This quiet but brilliant student was a very active soccer player in his native country. We wish Diamonte success and happiness in this land and in whatever he will undertake. Page 19 Hazel Devers When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Sure They Steal Your Heart Away!” Hazel certainly makes use of this fact. Her greatest love, however, is wagging that tongue, but she finds time for sports and dubs too. No need to wish Hazel luck in college. Elizabeth Devine That delicate little redhead that has captivated our hearts with her witty remarks and quiet understanding is Betty Devine. Born in Plainfield, she came to us from Allentown, recently. Now she is able to finish her senior year in familiar territory. Suzanne De 'Wysocki Sue, with her cheerfulness and sincerity, is always willing to help others. A taste for smart clothes adds a touch of chic to a girl with a piquant personality. Sue can often be seen going places in Emmy s convertible. Kay Dodge Darling Kay has hair that is envied by all. Being treasurer of the Choir, president of Mask and Mime, and member of the Triple Trio keeps her busy. She has had an interest in football, basketball, and baseball from WAYNE back. Mary Kay Dolan Bunny of the sharp wit and sharp mind is truly versatile. She leads cheers, decorates for dances, designs clothes, and illustrates stones. Some of her pep and vitality were expended on this very page. Look around for evidence. Diana Duncan A mysterious redhead is Diana. Always getting into trouble, Diana is full of fun, enthusiasm and eagerness to do things. Sleek dresser, individualist, and ardent sports fan, she's obviously her father s daughter. Watch out, Gettysburg, here comes Diana! Page 20 Joan Eash The girl with that beautiful, wavy hair, Ipana smile, and those expressive eyes is Jo. Scholastic ability, shy humor, and conscientiousness add to her other pleasing qualities. The very personification of sweetness and dignity, Joan is admired by everyone. Julio G. Ecker This fine boy and very good sport came to America from Panama. His ambition is to be an airplane designer. He has made many friends with his pleasing manner and genuine sincerity. In 101 he exhibits Latin America's superior manners. Geoffrey Edwards This boy with the smooth manner, dapper clothes, and educated drum sticks is one of the original Gees. His looks and personality charm all the girls. As a hypnotist or as the driver of a 36 convertible, Geoff will go places. Barbara Eggleston Barbara's happy smile and gentle disposition are appreciated by her classmates. Never a shirker of hard work, Barbara devotes much time to the study of botany in which her interest is centered. You should see plants respond to her care. George Edwards Blessed with one of the loudest voices in school, Eggy is frequently heard arguing about something; however, a spontaneous humor endears him to all. Loyalty is one of Eggy's strong points, for this track star sticks to his White Sox. Jay Eibelheuser This big 200 lb. tackle and outstanding weight man on the track team has certainly added to W.H.S. teams. He likes working at the Hobby Shop after school. This big guy is bound to do big things in the tool and die business. Joan Eke Here is a good all-round girl who likes almost everything. Her bright red hair and lovely clothes attract attention in the sports field as well as in her classes. A good friend to all, Mousey will always enjoy life. Frederick Enrwistle Fred is a good student and one fine fellow. The band and the many different school activities in which he participates occupy his spare time. One of many Dodgers' fans :n our school, Fred will go farther than his favorite ball club. Pat Ely Witty remarks, sincerity, nice clothes, and quiet manner are typical of Eel. Adding zip to conversation and pep to parties, her thoughtfulness and good natured personality make her a friend in a million and a girl with a million friends. Marlene Faulkner Do you see a pair of big brown eyes smiling up at you That’s Marlene. Pep and energy absolutely bubble from this small senior whether in sports or at a social gathering. This petite brunette's vivacious charm livens any occasion. Jane Anne Fisher Personality plus, friendliness, and a yen for life keep Jane Anne going on her happy-go-lucky way. Making many of her good looking clothes is only one of her activities. She is a gal with a cheery disposition and original ideas. Margaret Fischer Never tell Peggy a joke, unless you have time to repeat it over and over again. During her spare moments you undoubtedly will find her jogging along the bridle path. This fun-loving gal with a smile is a friend indeed. Page 22 Spencer Foote Although he is well known as a football player, few people have ever heard of Spencer Foote, philosopher, but philosophizing along with romancing occupies much of Spence's time This amiable guy is also a connoisseur of music in its highest forms. His life-time ambition is to be a success. Arnold Foster A sharp dresser, Arn is one of our taller boys. His chief interests are baseball and fishing. He has quite a way with the girls and can usually be seen slowly meandering into class five minutes late. Priscilla Freeman This tall, pretty, blonde with the effervescent personality is famous for her remark, Oh! I had the best time. A member of Triple Trio, choir, and chorus, she can usually be heard practicing. Always happy and sincere, Pris makes a swell friend. Barbara Gaskill A vigorous Hi! and you'll know that it’s Barbara. Full of pep and activity, she is always around where there is fun and laughter. You can still find Barbara quietly studying for that chemistry test, or Hey, Barb, wake up!” Gerald Glasser Sports fan extraordinary, he can tell you the batting average and shoe size of every major league ballplayer. Honored by the Newark News as the outstanding high school sportswriter in the state, he is twenty-fifth highest scorer in the Y” basketball league. Joyce Gould Joyce, definitely musically inclined as shown by her active membership in choir, chorus, and Triple Trio, still finds time for clubs, sports, and homework. Her sincerity and her willingness to work make Joyce a wonderful person to know. Page 2} Elizabeth Gracey Liz is a quiet studious person, but you'd be surprised at what a sense of humor she has. If you pass her in the hall, you're apt to hear her say, 11 faut ecrire le proces verbal. That's Mr. Gesner's influence. David Haessig A locomotive? The Gestapo' No, it's David Haessig roaring out of Woodland Avenue in his monstrous black Plymouth, probably heading for Cranford to see a certain female. A winning smile rates this generous fellow' the title, Molar Kid. Mary Hall Dances, movies, and letter writing occupy so much of Mary's time that we wonder how she is able to keep her marks at their present level. Her tolly nature attracts many friends, and her unusual jokes keep everyone laughing. Wayne Hansen This tall, three-letter man, served as fullback on the football team, center on the basketball quintet, and pitcher on the baseball nine. He's a bruiser on the gridiron, a flutter in every female heart, and a superb Student Council president. Jane Heitkamp Co-captain of the cheer squad, active in student council, choir, clubs, and social activities, Jane-still keeps her marks high. She possesses a winning smile, a cheery greeting, and great enthusiasm. Her ambition and versatility make her popular with everyone. Chiron e Rock Page 24 Barbara Hailey To describe most people a word will suffice, others require two or more. Haf belongs to neither group; for her, vivaciousness, popularity, generosity, sincerity, and downright cuteness only begin to describe her. Haf is certainly an asset to the class of '49. Priscilla Henrich Pert and cute—that's Pris! Effervescence and friendliness make this petite senior a welcome addition to our class. This generous gal is always offering her services in every way possible and can often be seen busily engaged in some activity. Danella Hewitt How can we forget Danella’s wonderful portrayal of JuditJi in Stage Door ! This tall brunette with snappy dark eyes is never at a loss for words Because of her dependability and friendliness, any function which she plans never fails to run smoothly. William Hinterleitner Because radio and photography are his favorite hobbies. Bill is an active member of the Civil Air Patrol. One of his main ambitions is to be a pilot on one of our United Airlines. A swell fellow to have around. Allen Hruda Although quiet in school, have you seen him outside . . . ? He is always shooting all over town in a blue Ford. Allen’s interests outside of school are golf and hunting at which he excels. Still curious? . . . Just ask some certain junior girls. Art Hooper Art has been with us for four years which have tired him considerably. He is seen taking his time going to classes or found dozing in 201. Art’s sense of humor and ability to make friends assure him a happy future. Robin Hruda This blonde babe is one swell gal. Always willing to lend a helpful hand, Robin is a girl whom everyone likes to have around. A pleasant disposition, nice clothes, and a smile for everyone, Robin will be missed when she leaves old WHS. - ? W7!6 . ' .' t j Jl WWW j = —tsU Stewart Hul.se Musician, scholar, gentleman, and wit describe Stew. The leader of a terrific band, he has played at many of our dances.

CO I_u An enthusiastic staff under the sympathetic guidance of Miss Dolores Bordner, sponsor, and Miss Harriet Howard, art adviser, and Mr. Gomer Lewis, financial adviser, have worked hard, individually and as a team, to prepare and to assemble the material for this annual. It was fortunate to have an exceptionally able group of writers, photographers, and artists who have enlivened its pages with their contributions. A year of adventure in learning and of fun in stimulating competition and rivalries is faithfully recorded herein. The staff expresses its sincere thanks to all contributors. The staff consisted of the following: Gretchcn Loesch, editor-in-chief; Pat Boyle and Carol Taylor, club editors; Barbara Hafley, write-up committee editor; Bunny Dolan, Barbara Miller, and Frances Windham, artists; Despy Alvanos and Terry Cachi-one, typists; Brock Brower and Sean Thompson, feature editors; Gerald Glasser and Norinne Braun, sports editors; Jean Cowie, picture editor; Bonnie Bunting, dedication; Barbara Miller, layout; Joan Kraft and Hazel Devers, snapshots; Joan Corbett and Whitey Hunter, superlatives; Marcia Snell, baby pictures. Page 56 HI' EYE 301 Starting the year with a new adviser and little experience, the staff of the Hi'i-Eye began its fifteenth volume with a great deal of uncertainty. As a result, the first issue was pretty bad. The next two copies of the paper, however, showed decided improvement, and Robert L. Dartt, adviser, and his two co-editors, Brock Brower and Gerald Glasser, breathed a little easier. The advertising was paying for more than its share of the publication costs, the reporters were spelling a majority of the names right, and the students were taking the time to read the newspaper. By the end of the year twelve issues had been published, just twice as many as during the previous year. Besides Glasser and Brower, the editorial staff included Walt Clarkson as news editor, Gertrude Loesch and Jim Robinson handling the feature page, and Ralph Jones as sports editor. Ellie Hathaway and Ted Schasny were in charge of the business end with George Woods and Doris Sigmund to help them. Pat Boyle and Diana Duncan acted as reporters, while Jack Cardozo did the photography. Mary Martin and Ace Moore wrote two of the columns, and Moore and Robinson alternated on the cartooning. Although honors were not heaped upon the paper, it did manage to land one of its editorials in a leading national magazine for high school journalists, a distinction not shared by many. P rge i7 WEATHER VANE MAGAZINE For twenty-seven years the students of Westfield High School have been able to display their literary and artistic talent in The Weather Vane Magazine. During this period it has held many high places in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest. The Presidential election of 1948 was the theme of the fall issue. Editorials, short stories, and poems —many of which were based on the election—were written, as well as other features which did not concern this theme. Although this issue was somewhat smaller than those of the past, to meet rising publication costs, the spring issue required commercial advertising for the first time. A large staff was directed this year in writing a successful magazine by Editor - in - Chief Gretchen Loesch. Contributions to the literary department were made by staff members Brock Brower, Virginia Van Derwerker, Shirley Reynolds, Peggy Savoye, and Peter Waldrop as well as other students. George Sutherland and Alec Wanamaker led the sports writers, while Danella Hewitt conducted an alumni column. Humor and aviation columns and book reviews were also to be found in the publication. Although many capable members of the staff will graduate this year, it is expected that the Weather Vane will carry on successfully under the leadership of the art and literary advisers, Miss Howard and Miss Bordner. I Page 58 The Student Council tried student influence of tJ’,s ° , in f st£dent problems. It r. dnfo,ngrow as !hf governing body of the SCh°The council decided to nominate only commercial I he council ucu u w ....... , students for its office of secretary, and it suggested that other clubs follow the same procedure in order to give these students secretarial experience and more opportunity 1 or participation in school activities. In order to improve the appearance of the school grounds and Elm Street, the council placed new refuse cans in convenient places. It endeavored to improve assembly entertainment by conducting a poll to find out what assembly programs had been best liked. An assembly committee was appointed to select programs on this basis for next year. Finally, the Student Council planned a social function for the incoming sophomores each year to acquaint them with the school and the upperclass- The Student Council tried to do its mn t- • :,S Tf COmF,'CtC C“' :r,,:crc pow“£ui p g The purposes of the National Honor Society, as stated in its constitution, are To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage development of character. This year the society, sponsored by Mr. Weyman O. Steengrafe, has endeavored to maintain the standards set in the creed by becoming an active organization. Several of the projects undertaken this year were to set up a tutor service in order to aid other students who have missed a great deal of school on account of illness and to raise money for presentation to the junior and the senior who have made the greatest scholastic progress. The officers for 1948-49 are President, Brock Brower; Vice-President, Jane Heitkamp; Secretary, Norinnc Braun; and Treasurer, Marianna Carlson. At the beginning of this year the following seniors were members: Despy Alvanos, Norinnc Braun, Brock Brower, Bonnie Bunting, Terry Cachionne, Stewart Campbell, Marianna Carlson, Ftcd Ent-wistle, Jane Heitkamp, Ann Smyers, Elizabeth Stor-nelli, and Lois Mary Walker. At an impressive ceremony in March the new senior and junior members were initiated. Juniors and seniors who rank high in their classes are eligible for membership. To this society is entrusted the duty of maintaining the high standards of our school and of stimulating other students to aspire to better things. Page 60 The Junior Red Cross is the junior membership of the American Red Cross. The members of the Westfield High School Council are volunteers from the various homerooms, and in sharing in its humanitarian work also benefit themselves by broadening their outlook on local, national, and international society. The Junior Red Cross Council is under the guidance of Miss Annie Hewitt and the leadership of Chairman, Marlene Faulkner; Vice-Chairman, Ginny Cross; Secretary, Sally Guthrie; Treasurer, Marilyn Wilson; and Reporter, Flora Van Hecke. The first drive of the council was for membership, and it attained a ninety-seven per cent enrollment of the whole school. Other drives included a collection for Good Will boxes for children overseas, a clothing drive for underprivileged children in Kentucky, a request for ash trays which were contributed by the woodworking department for the men in Lyons Hospital, and a collection for a valentine fund to give to the Children's Country Home. The council also decorated nut cups for the veterans in Lyons Hospital and filled a ward birthday box for a patient in the hospital at Camp Kilmer. The council is indebted to Mr. Thompson and his woodworking class for their assistance. The notable response and assistance on the part of every student have brought the Junior Red Cross Council through this year with flying colors. Page 61 WRITERS' CLUB The Writers' Club, composed of the school's potential John Steinbecks and Edna Ferbers, enjoyed an unusual year with excellent recognition gleaned from the annual Newark Evening News writing contest. Meeting once a month at the homes of its members, the organization heard and criticized contributions ranging from humorous poetry to recorded radio scripts. The first meeting was highlighted by the initiation, which required new members to write the answer to the problem posed by Frank Stockton's The Lady or the Tiger. Among the finer contributions were Sean Thompson's humor, Shirley Reynolds' essays, Mar-celle Thiebaux's poems, and Brock Brower's short stories. Since many of the club members were interested in writing poetry, the subjects were varied, including descriptions of vacation spots, meditations on love or death, and philosophical thoughts of our world today. As part of its program the club attended the New York production of Anne of a Thousand Days. Officers of the club are Brock Brower and Sean Thompson, serving as co-presidents, and Gretchen Loesch, secretary-treasurer. Miss Margaret Dietrich, English instructor, is the adviser. Page 62 The Literary Club, whose membership for 1948-49 was the largest in its history, tries to provide a background for literary discussions and to promote interest in good literature. The club, consisting entirely of seniors and juniors, holds its informal meetings on the first Thursday of every month in the high school library or in the homes of club members. Informal discussions of such widely varied subjects as Atomic Energy, Drama, Old and New, and Literature and Music are followed by a social hour. At several meetings guest speakers, including Mr. Ambry, school psychologist, joined the group to add to the variety and reality of the topics presented. A joint meeting with the Forum Club, when the motion picture, One World, was seen, also provided an evening of discussion and interest. The programs are planned by the vice-president and a group of students from the club. The initiation program always includes book title charades, and prizes are presented for the most original of the charades. In the late spring the club attended a performance of Goodbye, My Fancy. The officers for 1948-49 were President, Frank Patton; Vice-President, Joan Wiant; Secretary, Frances Windham; and Treasurer, Bob Arnold. Miss Margaret Dietrich is to be thanked for her sincere interest as club sponsor. Page 63 CHESS CLUB For the ninth year the Westfield High School Chess Club upholds its reputation. During its existence the Chess Club has engaged in scholastic competition and has won thirty-one games, tied one, and lost one—an almost unbeatable record. The members of this organization help to keep alive an interest in one of the world's oldest and most fascinating games. At the regular Tuesday afternoon meeting in A-106, Gaston B. Gesner, the club adviser, instructs the members in the finer points of the game. His guidance and instruction have been of inestimable value to the club. Club officers this year are President, Roger Sid-ener, and Secretary, Neil Moran. The Collectors' Club was organized some years ago in order that its members might be able to discuss, display, and develop their various hobbies and special interests. The meetings of the club are held in the evening at the homes of the different members of the club. At each meeting there is an interesting program, and frequently adult collectors display choice possessions and give talks. At the first meeting of the year, Bob Arman-trout, collector of stones and minerals, was elected president; Dick Bohannon, collector of stamps and coins, vice-president; and Ned Walker, collector of coins and train pictures, secretary - treasurer. Mrs. Olive Timbetlake is sponsor of the club. COLLECTORS' CLUB Page 64 The Library Council, under the able direction of Miss Scott and Mrs. Hall, has been a very busy organization this year. The members of the council keep busy by devoting two periods a week to signing slips, charging and collecting books, and mounting pictures. The council also has an enthusiastic social life. Entertaining neighboring library councils at teas, taking tours of famous libraries, attending radio broadcasts, and working in the town public library are an enjoyable part of their program. Under the careful guidance of its advisers and its efficient officers, Evelyn Redd, president; Nancy McClure, vice-president; and Flora Van Hecke, secretary, the council has had a most successful year. With their aim the spreading of interest in the Latin language, the members of the Latin Club concluded a successful season. Under the expert guidance of Miss Gertrude Foutz and Mr. Edmund Allen, the Latin Club has enjoyed several worth-while and entertaining meetings. A large group enjoyed such games as charades, vocabulary quizzes, and Who Am 1? These games help the student to have a greater appreciation and enjoyment of Roman customs and the Latin language. At each meeting refreshments were served. Under their official Latin titles, the officers of the club this year were Consul, Harry Montgomery; Vice-Consul, John Rodewig; Scriptor, Allison Stacey; Quaestor, John Flint; and Vice-Quaestor, Ann Lit-zelman. Page 65 FRENCH CLUB The French Club, named the Quartier Latin after the students' Latin Quarter in France, offers a marvelous opportunity for students to appreciate French music, language, art, and culture. Under the invaluable guidance of Miss Gertrude Foutz and Mr. Gaston Gesner, the club has successfully presented comedies and marionette shows and has introduced amusing games and songs at its monthly meetings. The officers this year are Marcclle Thiebaux, president; Janice Tiedeman and Sean Thompson, vice-presidents; Marianna Carlson, secretary, and Nancy Read, treasurer. Credit is also due Danc-lla Hewitt, Patty Rosendale, and Janet Colby, who served as committee chairmen. El Ateneo gives its members an opportunity to use Spanish they learn in the classroom and become acquainted with the people and the customs in Spanish speaking countries. At the Christmas meeting the members saw movies of Latin America and broke the traditional pinata. After the initiation of the first year students the club took its annual trip to New York to visit the Hispanic Museum, eat at a Spanish restaurant, and see a Spanish movie. The officers, directed by Miss Hemphill and Mr. Bunting, were President, Jeanne Cowie; Vice-President, Barbara Weisleder; Secretary, Alice Berastegui; and Treasurer, Dolores Rakowski. Pjgc 66 The Forum Club stimulates an interest in international, national, local and personal problems. Much of the activity of the club centers around forum discussions in the county organization, in various schools, and in regular monthly meetings. Highlights of this past year were a forum on the proposed new high school, an assembly program with guest speakers from surrounding towns, members participating on the Junior Town Meeting over WAAT, and a trip to the Herald Tribune Forum. The adviser for the Forum Club is Mildred G. Fox and the officers for the school year were President, Frank Patton; Vice-President, Alec Wana-maker; Secretary, Joan Cooley; and Treasurer, Phil Brown. The Technicians' Club, under the direction of Mr. John W. Thompson, consists of fifteen members and three officers who show all the motion pictures used in the school and devote their free periods to this service. The club members are trained to operate the machine and make minor repairs and adjustments. They give pre-views of all films for assemblies, sports, club and classroom programs and then show the films for the students' benefit. The officers are President, Jack Cardoza; Vice-President, Leonard Ahlfeld; and Secretary, Richard Jensen. Bob Jones, the club treasurer, has joined the Army Air Force. The efficient work of this club has made all school film programs a success. Page 67 HM Outstanding among the activities of Hi-Y this year was the induction of the largest group of new members in its history. Sixty boys were formally admitted to Hi-Y at ceremonies following the annual dinner in February. At this meeting Mrs. R. F. Wright of Westfield presented new induction equipment to the clubs in memory of her son, Robert Wright, former president who gave his life in the service of his country during the Second World War. Under the able leadership of Mr. Donald Babcock, Boys' Work Secretary for the Y.M.C.A., the Hi-Y has again followed its tradition of being an outstanding part of WHS activities. It has sponsored regular dances, of which the most memorable was the traditional New Year's Eve party, ushered at the football games, served at ”Y dinners, and helped in the rehabilitation of war-torn lands through the World Youth Fund. Many boys have attended various conferences in and around New Jersey to supplement their education by preparing them for the problems of everyday life. In general, the purpose of the Hi-Y is to develop a well-rounded youth who can find his place in life. Page 68 YsflTEEN CLUB The Y-Teen Club, formerly called the Girl Reserves, has had a very successful year. They have had several dances, given by the members from the separate classes, done social service work such as making an afghan for a veterans' hospital, and enjoyed interesting meetings. The senior officers for the year were President, Barbara Hafley; Vice-President, Ginny Van Derwer-ker and Jane Anne Fisher; Secretary, Nancy Sturmer; and Treasurer, Bunny Canfield. Junior officers were President, Barbara Bourns; Vice-President, Jeanne Schaefer; Secretary, Betsy Flint; and Treasurer, Barbara Hallam. The officers of the sophomore class were President, Charlotte Patton; Vice-President, Barbara Herr; Secretary, Barbara McClure; and Treasurer, Connie Bianco. Tru-Blue Club President was Mary Hall; Vice-President, Gloria Dabney; Secretary, Lillian Harris; and Treasurer, Loretta Braxton. All the clubs were under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Briggs. Meetings were held either at the YWCA or at the homes of various members every other week. Thc-dub tries to obtain speakers who will be interesting and will provide information which will be of use to the club members either in choosing a college or selecting a vocation. Page 69 rage 70 The Service Club, organized in 1941 under the sponsorship of Miss Brinser, is an organization interested mainly in being willing and able to give time and energy to serve the school. The membership for the year 1948-49 is seniors, 27; juniors, 20; and sophomores, 59. The club, under the guidance of its efficient adviser, Miss Pelton, has served the school in many ways. Some of the duties of the club, which members pledge themselves to perform, include the greeting and conducting of visitors around the school, introducing new pupils and helping them feel at home, and ushering at commencement and at other school functions such as the Mask and M me performances, the band concerts, the Senior Play, and the Music Festival. During study periods members volunteered to work in-the annex and in the main building. Most important of the activities were the selling of Christmas cards for Mr, White and the raising of money which was sent to Care. These activities were successfully accomplished through the co-operation of each member and through the leadership of the following officers; President, Joan Wiant; Vice-President, Betty Stewart; Secretary, Terry Cacchione; and Treasurer, Marjorie Eckhart. SERVICE ART The Art Club, which includes almost all the members of Miss Howard's art classes, was engaged in various and numerous activities this year. One of the most successful club projects was the decoration of Doerrers’ windows at Hallowe'en. Decorations were designed and painted on the windows by the members of the club. The windows were judged and prizes of ten and five dollars were awarded to the winning members. The first prize was won by Cheryl Clark's group, and the second prize was won by the group headed by Janet Colby. During the year the club invited a former West-field High student, Bill Singdahlsen, who is now attending art school in New York, to one of its meetings. He discussed the courses he followed at school and he also exhibited some of his work. The success of the Art Club was due to the efforts of Miss Harriet S. Howard, sponsor, and the following officers: Barbara Miller, president; Lavinia Jewell, vice-president; Greta Wolff, secretary; Jeanne Shaefer, secretary; and Marlene Faulkner, program chairman. The Art Club contributed much support to town and school enterprises through the members' ability to wield a paint brush and contribute attractive advertising posters. Page 71 The 1948-49 Mask and Mime Club had a membership surpassing that of any other club. The year began with a dramatic presentation of the well-known play, Stage Door. This play was chosen by the Mask and Mime council, the governing body of the club, and the club's adviser. At Christmas the club presented the impressive Christmas pageant—tableaux and music—which has become a traditional program for both students and parents. The Christmas project for the club this year was to send twfo Care packages to Greece and Poland. In the spring the club presented the one-act play, The Heritage of Wimpole Street, for the Plainfield High School. This year the club voted to see Where's Charley? for its annual trip. The play is a musical comedy taken from the venerable Charley's Aunt. This year the club is a member of The American Educational Theatre Organization. Under the experienced sponsorship of Miss Carol Brinser, club members obtained a well-rounded view of stage craft, scenery, and lighting effects as well as of the actual acting of the plays. The officers were President, Kay Dodge; Vice - President, Marilyn Sturges; Secretary, Barbara Bowden; and Treasurer, Bill McKim. Page 12 (£ THE CAST 6jjf!

The main performances of the year were the traditional Christmas Program and the Spring Festival. During the year the choir has worked to satisfy widely divergent tastes in music. Selections from the Messiah were equally as impressive as some popular songs by Jerome Kern. The choir, numbering 235 voices, was organized with Richard Wheeler, president; Ronald Seaman, vice-president; Joan Corbett, girls' secretary; Michael Parry, boys' secretary; and Kay Dodge, treasurer. The accompanist is Stephanie Kruse. jr Composed of students chosen from among the student body and directed by Mr. Anthony P. Ingram, the school orchestra appears before an audience several times each year. It combines with the choir in the annual spring music festival. During the past year it has played for the Mask and Mime play and the Senior play. The June commencement is also included in its program. The orchestra, a purely voluntary organization of twenty-seven members, adds much to our enjoyment of school affairs. ORCHESTRA Page 79 Page 80 rv � i-otcT convey .

Bound Brook was the next to fall before the Blue and White, 19-0. The Devils made Union their seventh victim, 33-13 but that was the end of their streak. West Orange was the spoiler by a 30-6 count.

Not enough credit can be given to the Devils' excellent trio of coaches, Joe Freeman, Bart Ellis, and Harvey Gerber, for good work in whipping the squad into such magnificent form. There were 21 letter winners including 15 seniors. The awards were given to Captain Jim Scott, Dave Townley, Barry Pruss, Jay Eibclheuser, Charley Mudge, Chris Martin, Tony Carnevale, Paul Migliozzi, Spencer Foote, Sam Mitchell, Rick McGinlcy, Russ Baker, Frank Musano, Harry Grander, Ray Yanuzzi, Ed Lewis, LeRoy Summers, Ed Clark, Brock Brower, Norman Mott, and Wayne Hansen. Jim Robertson and Paul Davis, student managers, and Buddy Weiland, student trainer, also received W's. ty Ijix—T � .r Wftlue aridTWFSre 7 UeTcatmn r, ,o( Facing a very heavy schedule, Coach George Allen's mermen came through with an exceptionally victorious season. Winning twelve out of sixteen meets, defeating Columbia for the first time in the history of the squad, and placing third place in the state meet were the major standouts of the team. Of course, the team was represented superbly by Captain Bob Clotworthy in the Eastern Interscholastics held in Trenton High pool. He placed first, giving West-field six points in the meet. The team wras well rounded this year with a fair amount of depth in all events. The first event, the 40 yard freestyle, was very ably swam by Brock Brower, Spencer Foote, or Charlie Lehman. Sometimes, though, these men swam the 100 yard freestyle along with Bussie Sherrich and Lou Wilcox. The 100 yard breaststroke was a major problem until we discovered hidden talent in two seniors. Jack Mullen and Dick Welch. The distance event, the 200 yard freestyle, was handled by Bill McKim and sophomore Dick La Roza. Bud Weiland and Dick Cooledge swam the 100 yard backstroke for the Devils consistently well throughout the season. This year a new event was added, the 120 yard individual medley which was capably navigated by Buddy Weiland and Bill McKim. George, our coach, had no worries in the fancy diving because Ken Welch was pushing Bob Clotworthy throughout the season. These men consistently placed first and second. The relay (medley) was composed of Jack Mullen, Dick Cooledge, and one of the able sprinters. Depending upon the meet and men, the freestyle relay would usually have Spencer Foote, Lou Wilcox, Charlie Lehman, Bussie Sherrich or some other man substituted along the line to compose a four-man team. Major letters this year were earned by Bob Clotworthy, Ken and Dick Welch, Dick Cooledge, Bud Weiland, and Bill McKim. The following earned minor letters: Charlie Lehman, Ian Heatly, Spencer Foote, Bussie Sherrich, Louie Wilcox, Dick La Roza, and Brock Brower.

His spectacular offensive playing, which was capped by a 32 point splurge at Somerville, carried him to a new school scoring record of 338 points, surpassing the record set last year by Terry Brady by 33 points. His sterling defense and backboard work sparkplug- ged the team all season. In compiling an 11-6 record, the '49 team scored victories over Somerville, Bound Brook, Roselle, Summit, Union, and Roselle Park, but was defeated 44-29 by Hillside in the first round of the county tournament. During the season Coach Lewis worked on developing new players; consequently the outlook for next year is very bright. Piige 87 Coach, Gomer Levis Asst. Coach, Howard Tomlinson BH5EBHLL Captain Rudy Stanzel had high hopes for the Westfield High varsity baseball squad at the start of the season and the diamond nine didn't disappoint him. Captain Stanzel and Sam Mitchell sparked the squad to their fine record with excellent hitting and timely fielding. The mound staff was led by Ed Clark, Wayne Hansen, and Sam Mitchell. Jack Corbett, Frank Piscopo, Howie Perkins, Eddie Lewis, and Stanzel sparked the fine fielding infield. Dave Townley proved to be an excellent catcher for the mound staff. Ace Johnston, Jack Van Hart, and Mitchell led the group of very good outfielders. Coach Noel Taylor coached the squad for the fourth year and turned in a very creditable job of whipping the team into shape. Russ Stiles also turned in his usual fine job as trainer. Page 88 The call for golf squad candidates this season produced an eager but inexperienced group of boys to take over the vacancies left by the graduation of Terry Brady, Bob Willig, and Bill Graver. The team in its tough ten match schedule, climaxed by the county and state tournaments, will be hard put to equal the performance of these players. Last year's squad lost but two matches and placed second in the county and state tournaments. Ably coached by W. E. Johnson, the squad this year will consist of, among others, letterman Dick Hruda, Fred Entwistle, Stew Hulse, Gene Hermann, and Walter Bennett. The tennis team, under Coach Samuel Bunting, has high hopes for a successful season. The team will probably be built around a nucleus of the three returning lettermen, Don White, Dick Harrison, and Paul Torgersen. Mr. Bunting is also counting on the help of two sophomores, Jim Cassidy and Pat Patterson. The tennis team in the past few years has won four state championships and the chances of the team this year are very good. The schedule has not been made up as yet, but matches are expected with Morristown, Pingry, East Orange, West Orange, North Plainfield, and Plain-field. Page 89 The Westfield High Cross-Country team had the best season in school history this year, winning four out of five dual meets along with the Union County Championship and a second place in the State Meet. The Blue Devils opened the season with a 25-JO victory over Metuchen, and the following week scored an upset over oncc-powerfu! Plainfield, 26-29. Rahway was next, losing 22-33, and then on Friday, October 29, the Blue and White runners topped a seven-team field to bring home W.H.S.'s first trophy in cross-country when they won the Union County Championship. This meet, as all of them, was held over Warinanco Park's 2$i|-mile course. Westfield's only loss was to Union, but the Devils topped the Farmers in both the State and County Meets. The dual season ended with a shutout over Edison. Coach Mel Michaels' well-rounded team then entered the B division of the State Meet, where they garnered second-place honors, beating all other Group III schools in the state. The lettermen are George Edwards, Frank Patton, Alec Wanamaker, Walt Clarkson, Gene-Van Ronk, and Jim Robinson. W.H.S.'s indoor team began practice in January. without a board track. However, the Blue and White speedsters racked up two State Relay titles, winning the mile and two - mile relays. George Edwards and Norman Mott were the spearheads of the indoor season. They picked up Page 90 TRACK medals in most of the meets, including the State Meet, and the North Jersey Championships. Sporting new uniforms this year, the outdoor track and field team opens its season with the Union County Relays, held again at the home field. The other major meets are the famed Penn Relays, the Newark Board of Education Meet, and the Long Branch Relays, topped off by the State and County Championships. Dual meets are scheduled with Planfield, Regional, Union, West Orange, Linden, and Bound Brook. Coaches Michaels and Jones have shaped up the runners very well, while the field events, as always, seem to be the weakest part of the Devil aggregation. In the sprints, Rick McGinley, Al Washburn, and Buddy Redd seem to be the outstanding men, while George Edwards, defending County Champ, Frank Musano, Skippy Engen, and Bill Mueller appear to top the quartcr-milers. In the longer races there are Captain Norman Mott, Alec Wanamaker, Frank Patton, Walt Clarkson, Bill Hinterleitner, Jim Robinson, and Ned Pettit. Heaving the weights will be Jay Eibelheuser, Sam Hicks, and Bob Neilson, with Dick and Kenny Welch and Don Dilley soaring in the pole-vault. This team is strong and should be a threat in all relay meets. Plainfield is the toughest obstacle in the dual tests, and the Blue Devils will be top contenders in the championship meets. CROSS COUNTRY Page 91 The Girls' Athletic Council, sponsored by Mrs. Rogers and Miss Acker, organizes the girls' athletic program. The council is composed of one elected representative from each homeroom. The presiding officers for this year are Bonnie Bunting, president; Marilyn Mackic, vice - president; Marilyn Sturges, secretary; and Joan Corbett, treasurer; who have sponsored dances, planned interscholastic hockey and basketball games, and gave awards. Norinne Braun, Ann Smyers, Alice Berastc-gui, and Joan Cooley were selected for the North Jersey Field Hockey Tournament. The Boys' Athletic Committee, under the supervision of Mr. Robert Duncan, comprises a membership elected from each homeroom. The purpose of the committee is to encourage and better the boys' athletic activities. One of the main duties of the committee is to make awards to those boys who earn their letters in varsity sports. The committee also finances, equips and schedules the teams. The officers elected for the year were Brock Brower, president, Ed Lewis, vice-president; Bud Weiland, secretary; and Ralph Jones, treasurer. Pjge 92 Page 93 The physical education and sports program, headed by Mrs. Rogers and Miss Acker and assisted by the Girls' Athletic Committee, offers the girls of Westfield High an excellent opportunity for healthful training and development and also for recreational enjoyment. Because of the variety and extensiveness of the program, each girl has the chance of attaining skill in at least one activity which interests her. This year, in addition to the competition between classes and with other schools, the girls who participated in hockey were offered an official's training program. In November six girls again represented Westfield at the North Jersey Field Hockey Tournament. A member of the English touring team came to Westfield to coach our girls. The annual Mother-Daughter Tea concluded a very successful season. Basketball, fencing, badminton, and modern dance were offered as winter sports. A basketball official's program was also set up, and the various class teams played Rahway, Chatham, and Elizabeth. I’jge 94 The badminton squad was coached by four women, two of whom were Union County Champions. All the winter sports were as successful as our fall season. The Officers' Training program was reorganized this year. The officers elected two co-chairmen, and the Tuesday morning sessions at once began to practice drilling in preparation for the annual spring gymnasium demonstration which was held on May 21. The competition between the Blue and White companies was keen. Without the help of the G.A.C., which meets once a week to discuss the affairs of the girls' physical education department, the program this year could not have been carried out as thoroughly and effectively for the benefit of all girls. Some of their projects were the basketball dances, selling Tommie Touchdowns, the Country Dance, and the G.A.C. Dessert for the mothers.

The big heap over in the left-hand corner. The one with the ivy crawling all over it. How did the ivy get there? How should 1 know? It probably came with the bricks. What’s inside of it? Well, there're some walls standing around here and there. And then there're some blackboards leaning against the walls, and—oh yeah—a couple of teachers leaning against the blackboards; What do the teachers do? Oh, they just lean against the blackboards. What! Step away from them! Do you want the whole school to cave in or something ? That building on the right? That's the Annex. Who built it? Are you kidding? They didn't build it. They dumped it. Desks? Oh yes, we have desks. Can you sit in them? Well, it depends upon how well you strap yourself in. And every now and then they sort of disintegrate. It's funny that way. You sit in a desk all year long, and all of a sudden it keels over. All you have left is a handful of dust and three nails. No, I'm afraid our high school isn't much to look at. But don't get me wrong. We have something else that other schools don't have. It is something we have inside. We won nine out of ten football games with that something. We cheered our heads off at the pep assemblies with that something. We did our school work, wrote our essays, and smiled at our friends with that something. Yeh, they're going to build another school soon, but, you know, I'm sorta sorry to see this old wreck go. And I wonder, is the new high school going to have that certain something we had? I hope so, because if it doesn't, it just won't be Westfield Senior High. Page 103 CLASS WILL We, the Class of Nineteen Forty-Nine, being totally discouraged and virtually beyond suffering, do print upon this page the traditional class will, for want of a better idea. First, to all who drink from our fountains we leave a bottle of liniment. Second, to Mr. Harold Thompson we leave a network of machine gun turrets, strategically located so that any student gypping classes in either building can be shot down in the crossfire. Third, to Miss Harriet S. Howard we leave Ace Moore. Fourth, to posterity we leave a copy of Charley Mudge’s book, in case he ever writes it, entitled You Too Can Be a Hero or The Darndest Things Happen to a Guy on the Way Home from Echo Lake. Fifth, to all those juniors plagued with bad spelling we leave the knowledge that when they graduate they will no how too spel perfekly, just like us senyors. Sixth, to anybody who is sucker enough to take it we leave Jim Yordon's car. Seventh, to all seniors without a Saturday night date we leave Staten Island.
