We, too, entered its ivy-covered doors and spent memorable days under its leaking rod. One day we trudged to the annex for the last time, sang our school song in the dingy auditorium, and lingered a last few minutes on the beloved old senior steps. A dream, that filled the hearts and minds of those who went before us, finally had become a reality. We, the Class of 1952, hope that through our presentation of this yearbook to future classes we may express the deep honor and pleasure that we feel in being the first class to graduate from the new Westfield High. SALLY GERHART, Editor-in-Chief Hook,Planned And . and, ii you don't do it. I'll take you behind the woodshed! This is one of the many quotes which identify Miss Margaret B. Dietrich, who possesses the rare qualities of spontaneous humor and impartial friendliness. Miss Dietrich, a native Pennsylvanian, received her Bachelor of Science degree from Kutztown Teacher's College in Pennsylvania and earned her Master's degree at Columbia University. Before coming to WHS, she had diversified training in schools both in Pennsylvania and in New Jersey. Many sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have not had the pleasure of knowing Miss Dietrich in an English class know her through the Literary and Writer's Clubs, of which she is the able adviser. Everyone in these clubs will agree that her presence adds an unmatchable sparkle and zest to each meeting. Besides this, she knows how to stop tactfully the arguments of a writing genius or a literary critic. During an English class, she is a model of patience. She is especially noted for this when it comes to explaining an incomprehensible soliloquy from Macbeth. Always willing to give up her own time, Miss Dietrich gladly advises a student on anything from a term paper or an essay to a choice of colleges. Her infectious spirit of enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, kindness, and modesty makes her our first choice for Teacher-of-the-Year. 4 C)wi AncJutectl ROBERT FOOSE B. A.. M. A. Principal STACEY EWAN. JR.

HEMOKUM PAUL MARSH Paul Marsh was a well-known and well-liked member of our class. His untimely death in the summer of 1949 was a blow to everyone. Although mere printed words can never convey the depths of sympathy and sorrow, it is our sincere hope that this memorial to Paul will continue to honor and preseve h s memory among us as the years pass. Paul's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter R. Marsh, have insured a living memorial to their son in their generous gifts to the high school library of books dealing with the subjects in which Paul was interested. Their presentation at the dedication ceremony of the new high school is something none of us will ever forget. The Class of 1952 cherishes the memory of Paul Marsh, a boy whose good nature and friendly smile can never be erased from the retrospect of our school life. 50 51 first row: G. Lekas, L.Schott, A.

Class of 1954 55 STUDENT CIIIIMIL In September the following officers were elected for the Student Council of 1951-52: President, Greg Hovendon; Vice-President, Harry Sisson; Treasurer, William Brown; and Secretary, Connie Allen. These four in addition to Mary Lou Babcock and Dot Harasty, made up the executive committee. Faculty members who worked with the group were Mr. Harold Thompson, Miss Mildred Fox, and Mr. Graham Beckel, adviser. The most important work of the Student Council centered about the new school. The campus committee met with the cafeteria manager and made important suggestions; an ad hoc committee worked with Miss Scott on a plan to share in the selection of periodicals and books for the library; and the social committee held a Mid-Winter Ball and two open houses. The first assembly in the new school was likewise under the direction of the Student Council, who also informed the student body of the plans of the Board of Education and the Administration. Other services rendered were decorating the exterior of the old building at Christmas, providing a guide service for the new school, publishing a monthly calendar of events, and giving periodic reports to the faculty. 58 UTItlJL IIOIKUIt SOCIETY Membership in the National Honor Society is extended to those juniors and seniors who rank scholastically in the upper ten per cent of their class and whose outstanding courage, service, and leader ship have helped to maintain the high standards of the school. It provides an incentive to other students to improve their ratings and awards a first and second prize to the two seniors who have advanced the most in their class standing. In the spring an impressive formal ceremony, attended by the parents, marked the induction of new members into the Honor Society. At the induction the officers spoke about the four ideals of the Honor Society—Character, Service, Leadership, and Scholarship. After the induction a tea was given for the members and their guests. The officers for this year were President, Greg Hovendon: Vice-President, Jim Glimm; Secretary, Marilyn Mumford; Treasurer, Judy Baldwin. The other members chosen last year were Dave Atkinson, Anne Canfield, Astrid Frolich, Sally Gerhart, Joy Hoff, Albert Holzworth, Mary Lancaster, Dave Lermond, and Mary Jane Thompson. Mr. Wyman O. Steengrafe is the sponsor. 59 WESTFIELD SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL WESTFIELD, NEW JERSEY With the irst issue of the Hi's-Eye, it was evident that many changes had been made. The paper, in addition to being smaller, was printed on a new paper stock. Later in the year a more modern headline style was inaugurated and the paper became completely streamlined. Even though its size was smaller, the Hi's-Eye became larger than ever. The entire editorial and advertising stafls worked together to publish two eight-page issues. A colossal twelve-page Hi's-Eye was devoted entirely to the new school. Included in each issue were the regular columns: Reading Lights, by Katharine Thomas; There's a You in UN, by Shirley Penny; The Devil's Roost, by Herman Raichle; and Rose's Ramblings on Fashions, by Rosemarie Hewitt. A new column, Student Spotlights, was introduced by Marilyn Mumford. When Editor-in-chief Elizabeth Ritten-house moved to Chicago, it was necessary to revise the entire staff. The new editor and managing editor, Barbara Habley and Gregory Hovendon, respectively, worked with the entire journalism staff to continue to make this year's Hi's-Eye better than ever VOL.

JOAN NEILSON mm tvX.w: BUSINESS STAFF Evlv.v.% mm Work on the yearbook, traditionally named The Weather Vane, began early last fall when some members of the staff attended the Columbia Scholastic Press Yearbook Conference in New York and learned many ways of improving the annual. The first duty of the staff was to select a printer near enough for effective service. After a number of conferences the staff selected the Rae Publishing Company of Montclair. Mr. Edward Rae, head of this company, served the staff well, giving hours of professional help and advice and adapting himself sympathetically to the problems incurred through transfer to a new school in February. The staff was unusually large, and the various committee chairmen were capable and devoted workers. Headed by the Editor-in-Chief, Sally Gerhart, and the Assistant Editor, Barbara Boyle, the active committees were as follows: Superlatives, Margaret Gentles, Write-Ups, Marilyn Mumford; Girls' Sports, Mary Lou Babcock; Typing, Connie Allen and Grace Frickman; Boys' Sports, Harry Tenney; Extra-Curricular Activity Lists, Ann Tedesco; Dedicatee, Barbara Habley; Art, Carol Ann Baird; Features, Arlene Piret; Clubs, Anne Williams; and Musical Organizations, Julie Anne Bonnett. Many meetings were held in 212 and at the home of the editor-in-chief, and eventually the yearbook was completed despite moving, field trips, and music rehearsals. Our adviser, Miss Bordner, rendered her usual indispensable assistance, and Mr. Burger gave professional advice as to art work. VfGATHER HIE 1III11L The superlative committee counts votes in Room 212. 61 This year the Y-Teens, under the able guidance of Miss Ann Abernethy, had an interesting and successful program. As main activities they sponsored several dances and open houses at the YWCA. At the evening meetings there were speakers on vocations who were both interesting and enlightening. At one time a glass blower gave a fascinating demonstration. Another feature was the sports nights. The Y-Teen sophomore club had Patsy Steiger as president, Mary Lou Dowell, vice-president; Peggy Flemming, secretary; and Diane Packard, treasurer. The officers of the Junior-Senior club were President, Jean Crichton; Vice-President, Esther Davis; Secretary, Betty Hall; and Treasurer, Jean Crickenberger. Under the leadership of A1 Malthaener, a new adviser, the senior chapter of the Hi-Y was supervised by Bob Thomson; the junior chapter, by Steve McElroy and Bob Thompson; and the sophomore chapter by A1 Malthaener. Presidents of the respective chapters were Richard Cogswell, senior; Frank Clark and Bill Donahue, juniors; and John Dejong, sophomore. This year a number of boys attended the annual convention held in Summit, New Jersey, and several boys went to Trenton for the Junior Legislature. During the summer months Jack Carter and Ed Coffey attended the National Hi-Y Conference in Cleveland. Beneficial to the treasury of the organization were paper drives, dances, and joint canteens with the Y-Teens. Meens One of the biggest jobs of the Library Council this year was the move from the old building to the spacious library of the new high school. This was accomplished with a minimum of confusion. Each member of the council devoted a period a week to keeping the library running smoothly. The members charged books, kept magazine racks in order, and worked in the stack rooms. The most important social event was the meeting of the N. J. School Library Council Association in Newark held in December. Working with the librarian, Miss Scott, were the officers, President, Pat Collins, Vice-President, Sonya Shakotko, and Secretary, Gwen Jones. The Forum Club held its monthly meetings in the members' homes, where discussions were carried on, such as Foreign Policy in Korea, Are College Athletics Overemphasized? and Homework. Yvonne Nelson represented Westfield in the Union County finals of the American Legion Oratorical Contest on the Constitution. Diana Dann and Katharine Thomas spoke on the television program, Junior Town Meeting of the Air. Dick Stacey was elected president of the Union County Forum Club for 1952-53. In assembly Jim Glimm and Yvonne Nelson debated Universal Military Training with two Union Junior College students. Officers were President, Jack Carter; Vice-President, Ed Tracey; Secretary, Joan Turner; and Treasurer, Burr Meyer. This year the Junior Red Cross Council had fifty-seven members. The officers were President, Jane Kipp; Vice-President, Bill Neuer; Secretary, Carol Schaible; and Treasurer, Geor-gianna Hollingsworth. Mrs. Ruth Cameron was the adviser. The purpose of the council is to develop a spirit of international good will and voluntary helpfulness wherever needed. The program for the year included a school Red Cross drive which resulted in 100% membership, a collection of gifts for nearby veterans' hospitals, and the packing of forty-five gift boxes for children overseas. The council also collected money through the homerooms for the Chil-den's Country Home and made Fourth of July favors for hospital trays. Service Club Red dross Council The Service Club, under the direction of Miss Alice F. Pelton, is an organization requiring unselfish and unrewarded helpfulness from its members. The girls give up study periods to go on duty in the office where they deliver messages, run on errands, and are of service in any way possible. More glamorous activities are supposed to be ushering for various school affairs and serving as guides to visitors. As so much time is spent in useful activity, there is no opportunity for special meetings. Therefore, the group has no officers. We are proud that a club offering so little personal glory to its members attracts our students. The purpose ol this club is to put into practice the Spanish learned in the classroom. At meetings the members played charades, sang songs, and entertained each other with Spanish plays. At the membership meeting those students who had maintained good grades in Spanish and had accepted the invitation were initiated into our largest club. This was followed by entertainment provided by a small band composed of four students. In the spring the club visited the Hispanic Museum and went to a Spanish movie. The club was advised by Miss Hemphill and Mr. Bunting. Its officers were President, Peggy Nichols; Vice-President, Polly Luttring-haus; Secretary, Barbara Sampson; and Treasurer, Betty Johansen. The officers of this year's Latin Club, named after the officials of ancient Rome, were Consul. Hugh Williams; Vice-Consul, Kitty Lee Wade; Scriptor, Marcia Yokum; Vice-Quaestor, Bill Schumacher; and Quaestor, Ralph Bennet. The advisers, Miss Foutz and Mr. Allen, did an outstanding job of providing friendly and instructive assistance. The club, first organized in 1938, stimulates interest in Roman life and customs and helps Latin students to understand the language better. At the meetings various activities consisted of Roman numeral games, twenty questions, bingo, and charades. At the January meeting a short but entertaining one-act play, entitled The Olympic Consul,'' was given. ■ 0f French Club Limitation of funds has hampered our literary magazine in recent years. This year the staff has published one attractive issue with a distinctive cover design by Carol Ann Baird and hopes to produce one each semester next year. Under the efficient leadership of Marilyn Mumford, editor-in-chief, a young and enthusiastic staff worked hard to make the magazine equal in quality to previous issues. They also sold personalized stationery. Staff meetings were devoted to selection of content, make-up, layout, and proof reading, under the direction of the advisers, Miss Bord-ner and Mr. Burger. At the close of the year a staff party was held in the school apartment. 'Le Quartier Latin, under the sponsorship ol Mr. Gaston Gesner, gives students many chances to speak the French learned in class. Correspondence with students in France, which helps establish binding friendships and improve international relations, is encouraged. There are many interesting and varied programs including vocabulary and proverb games and singing favorite French songs. Movies help give students a better knowledge of the French people and their customs. The highlight comes when the club eats at a French restaurant and sees a French movie on its annual New York trip. Officers are President, Sally Gerhart; Vice-Presidents, Elaine Ortlepp and Elizabeth Jones; Secretary, Pam Clark; Treasurer, Richard Stacey. Weather Fane Magazine This year the Writers' Club was both inspirational and instructive. The members tried various literary types—short stories, poems, informal essays, and even a radio script. During meetings the work presented was discussed and criticized with Miss Dietrich's help. This was very helpful and contributed greatly to the improvement made by each member. Entries were submitted to the Newark Evening News Writing Contest in the spring. At another time the group met in the school apartment and heard two former students, Brock Brower and John Callahan speak about their writing experiences in college. The officers were James Glimm, president; Barbara Habley, vice-president; Lynn Jaffee, secretary; and Patricia Peters, treasurer. Writers’ Hub The Literary Club, composed of juniors and seniors and supervised by Miss Dietrich, endeavors to give students a better appreciation of literature. At one program, an alumna, Miss Mildred Boxill, discussed the processes by which a book is chosen for publication. At other meetings books such as The Caine Mutiny, Kon-TikL The Cruel Sea, and The Sea Around Us were discussed. The Christmas program featured a puppet show of Dickens' Christmas Carol, presented by Thomas Bohrer and his brother, and a Christmas television show. On the April theatre trip, Helen Hayes in Mrs. McThing delighted everyone. Officers were President, Astrid Frolich; Vice-President, Marilyn Mumford; Secretary, Virginia Kinney; and Treasurer, Edward Hall. Technician’s Club The Technicians' Club is made up of boys who like to work with trick righting, sound effects, and photography. Under the guidance of their adviser, Mr. John Thompson, they proved indispensable to the school. Some of their important jobs were operating the movie projector for assemblies and taking care of the lights for the senior play and the Spring Festival. Photographv Club The Photography Club, under the direction of Mr. Noel Taylor, studied technical aspects of picture taking, printing, and developing. During club meetings, the members printed pictures, discussed the evolution of the camera, and studied books which they obtained from the library. They plan to take and develop pictures themselves. The officers are President, Gil Parodies, and Secretary, Susan Whaley. ‘•'irrfi Radio Club This recently organized club has given its members a chance to pool their knowledge and ideas concern ing the mechanics of radio. Under Mr. Johnson’s supervision, the boys discussed theory and practiced code besides reviewing to pass the Amateur Radio Examination in New York. The officers, all underclassmen, were Robert Riker, president; Richard Coveil, vice-president; and Jerry Faigle, secretary-treasurer. Catalyst Club The Catalyst Club, under C. Blair Rogers' direction, familiarizes students with the field of chemistry. Trips to the City Service Refinery in Linden and the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and club periods that included movies and experiments have made the year's program varied and interesting. The officers were President, Gordon Hollingsworth; Vice-President, Bill Walstead; Secretary, Lewis Sank; and Treasurer, Bill Brown. Art Club The Art Club, under the excellent guidance of Mr. Burger, has served Westfield High School by making posters, designing sets, and decorating for the Prom. For 68 members Betsy Blackwell, president; Liz Russell, vice-president; Sue Bode, secretary; Tom Hill, treasurer; and committees, through excellent planning, provided fascinating activities culminating in a trip to the Museum of Modern Art. Sportman’s Club The Sportsman's Club, composed of forty-five boys interested in hunting, fishing, and outdoor life generally, has enjoyed a stimulating program featuring field trips, movies, talks and demonstrations by outstanding sportsmen, and awards for prowess as fishermen. The club adviser was Mr. Tony Ingram and the officers were President, Richard Fugmann; Vice-President, Dawson List; Treasurer, Ed Coffey; and Secretary, David Atkinson. 69 MASK and The Mask and Mime, dramatic club of Westfield High School, emphasizes all phases of theatre work from acting, directing, costuming, and make-up to construction, lighting, props, and business. Its membership of more than two hundred makes this organization one of the most outstanding and popular in the school. Under the excellent guidance of Miss Carol Brinser, the Mask and Mime Council, which is composed of the four officers and the chairmen of standing committees, forms the policies and plans for the club. Because of the increased interest in speech activities, the club has renewed its membership in the New Jersey Forensic League, the Plainfield Area Little Theatre Council, and the American Educational Theatre Association. Continuing a project adopted by the club in previous presents... y'GLe f i years, the organization sent Care” packages to Europe and a gift package of food and clothing to a needy family in Westfield. The popular hit, Cheaper by the Dozen, which was presented by the Mask and Mime club in the fall, met enthusiastic audiences as did the one-act play, Perchance to Dream. Among the highlights of the club's actiivties were the attendance of about one hundred members at the musical comedy, The King and I ; participation in the Plainfield Area Little Theatre tournament; and the presentation of the traditional Christmas tableaux in collaboration with the art and music departments. The officers for the year 1951-1952 were President, Joan Turner; Vice-President, Gayle Martin; Secretary, Mary Lancaster; and Treasurer, Anne Canfield. ••And .he top .or skipping grades at schoo .

V rr Ill IIIII The choir, directed by Miss Janet Grimier and accompanied by Mary Lancaster, had a successful and most interesting season. The Annual Christmas tableaux, given jointly by the choir and Mask and Mime, was the last to be presented under the handicaps of the old school building. Then the choir participated in the Dedication Assembly of the new school. Probably the most exciting experience for the choir was their performance for the National Music Educators' Convention at Philadelphia on March 26. Here they were conducted by Mr. Wilhowski, who had previously rehearsed with the choir in our music room to become acquainted with their work. He was delighted with their performance. The culmination of the year's work was the Annual Spring Festival in April. Naturally, the theme was to be related to our moving into the new building. Each part of the program presented a different phase of our education: Freedom to Worship, Significance of Our American Heritage, Subject Matter, Youth's Charm or Joy in Living, Extra-curricular Activities, Awareness of the New. One number not included in any one of these categories was the spiritual Jacob’s Ladder, which was arranged by Wilson, who dedicated it to Westfield High School. Thus, the choir has had interesting association with two of the top authorities on choral work in the county, Mr. Wilhowski and Mr. Wilson. 74 HIT (LEE CLUB First row, left to right: H. West, P.

The chorus performed in the Christmas program, singing Lullay, My Jesu and others, and in the Spring Music Festival. Here they sang In a Boat, Little Shepherd’s Song, Silent Strings, and Open Thy Blue Eyes. Under the direction of Miss Grimier, the officers were Chairman, Margaret Gentles, and Vice-Chairman, Connie Reid, and the accompanist was Julie Anne Bonnett. Girls' Chorus 1 had a large sophomore membership, since it is the beginning chorus of Westfield High. This chorus appeared in the Christmas program, and because it was felt that they were an outstanding beginners' group, they sang in the Spring Music Festival L'Abandonee, in French, and Clavelitos, in Spanish. This was the first time a beginning chorus had taken part in that production. Their officers were Chairman, Elizabeth Rugh, and Vice-Chairman, Elizabeth Riederer, with accompanist Carolyn Muller. 76 The Twelve The Twelve made their debut in the fall when they sang for the first P.T.A. meeting. After that their outside engagements included the Christmas meeting of the Senior Auxiliary to the Children's Country Home and a meeting of the Westfield Old Guard. At the Spring Music Festival they made a charming appearance in ballet-length formals of three shades of purple. Their repertoire included You Are Love, The Shadow Waltz, The Touch of Your Hand, The Cuckoo Clock, and Only Nineteen. Members were Nancy Barker, Barbara Bauer, Julie Anne Bonnett, Janice Grimes, Joy Hoff, Mary Lancaster, Polly Luttringhaus, Yvonne Nelson, Elizabeth Russell, Janet Self. Joan Turner, Kitty Wade, and the accompanist, Sally Gerhart. The Thirteen The Thirteen is the ever-popular group which is always a hit of the Spring Music Festival. This year they appeared in white jackets with red buttonhole carnations, singing Buttermilk Sky, Rise and Shine, Ain't It a Shame? , and I'll Be Ready When the Great Day Comes. Their other engagements were the Y.M.C.A. dinner, the football Boosters' Dinner, the Lion’s Club, the National Association of Cost Accountants, and the Old Guard. Under the direction of Miss Janet Grimier, the members were Roger Bean, Gordon Bourns, Jack Carter, Fred deWysocki, Ed Hall, Bill Howard, Murray Hulse, Don Large, Rae Logie, Bob Moons, Larry Mullen, Don Remine, George Stone, and the accompanist, Gene Lockfeld. 77 Spof ighf on the trombones and the French horns. BAND Besides inspiriting Westfield High during the football season and participating in assemblies, the Westfield High School Band has played a large part in the musical programs. Under the able direction of Mr. Anthony Ingram and with Susan Whaley as concert master, the band gave its Twenty-First Annual Winter Concert featuring Roger Bean's playing of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and for the first time presented a pops concert this spring. In May the piano Concerto in G Minor by Mendelssohn, arranged for band by Mr. Ingram, was played with Julie Anne Bonnett as soloist. ORCHESTRA The orchestra has played a large variety of musical selections. The Senior Play required Mexican rhythms, and for the Mask and Mime Play they performed many numbers from the nineteen-twenties. They combine with other musical organizations to give the Spring Festival, and they supply music for our Assembly programs and commencement. This year, for the first time, rehearsals were held on school time. Anthony Ingram conducted these rehearsals, and Luise Klingelhofer acted very capably as Concert Master. The orchestra placed three members in the All-State group. They were Luise Klingelhofer, Mary Lou Booth, and Don Remine. Leslie lo. Sandra, and Belly play an impressive cornel solo group.

The Blue Devils, led by Co-captains, Pel Brown and Dawson List, ended one of their toughest schedules with a record of four wins and five losses. Once again Westfield opened the season's slate with a victory over the Pioneers at Somerville. Two defeats followed, with strong Rahway and South River combines inflicting the losses. The South River whitewashing was the first in forty-two games for the Blue Devils. The Freemanites rebounded to take three out of their next four games as they beat Roselle Park 20-10, Bound Brook 7-6, and Union 39-0 while holding the state champion Cougars of Columbia to a 19-14 verdict. In the last two games the Blue Devils suffered a 7-6 reversal at the hands of the West Orange Cowboys and a continuation of ihe three year supremacy of the Plainfield Cardinals who took a 14-6 decision.

The team had to work in time limited practices at the junior high and the Y , neither of which proved satisfactory to keep up with the topflight schedule they played. Then, too, the illness of Captain Pel Brown, at the start of the season, handicapped the team for four games. Although the record for the season was 4 and 15, Coach Gomer Lewis's squad won three of its last five games. Highlight of the year was their nip and tuck upset over eighth-seeded Scotch Plains in the County Tournament. Some of the outstanding players were as follows: sophomore center Harris Mosher, who improved throughout the season; Captain Pel Brown, whose last-minute baskets insured victory over Scotch Plains; next year's captain Carl Hornung, high scorer; and George Van Hart, whose play making and defensive work were outstanding.

In the Eastern Championships Westfield compiled seventeen points to tie for fifth place, while in the State meet they followed Trenton and Plainfield. Schmal bettered Westfield records by taking first in the 50 and third in the 100 in the Easterns; Mullen took fourth in the breaststroke and individual medley. In the State, Reynolds and Crichton took fifth and sixth in the dive, and Schmal by winning his specialties became first Westfield swimmer to capture two state titles. Mullen lowered the state record in the individual medley and placed second in the breaststroke, while the medley relay team of Williams, Large, and Akers placed fourth. The freestyle relay of Darby, Fischer, Ritchie, and Skinner finished sixth. Letter winners not placing were Harold Verona, second individual man, and Bruce Stewart, Williams's keenest competitor in the backstroke.

Senior lettermen returning from last year's four and one season are Ryan Akers, Ed Coffey, Perry Welch, and Captain Rich Cogswell. Coach Mel Michaels will build his sprint squad around returning seniors Jim Cambria, A1 Holzworth, and Murray Hulse, and Coffey and Cogswell. The distance men returning are Pryor Dougherty, Pete Tatro, and Welch. Coach Clarence Jones will have experienced personnel for the jumping events in pole vaulter, Ryan Akers; broad jumpers, Ed Coffey and Art Hartwig; and high jumper Curt Hartman. In the weights, shotputers Dave Atkinson, Ed Coffey, Bill Donahue, Bill Johnson and Harry Tenney, discus thrower A1 Pfirrmann and javelin men Akers and Tenney have all had previous experience. With these unusually large veterans, the '52 Blue and White squad should do well in their six dual meets and should go far in the county, state, and North Jersey Championships. - wf 3 ril 18 April 29 Union County Relays Plainfield Away May 7 Regional Away May 12 Linden Home May 14 Bound Brook Away May 20 Union Away May 28 West Orange Home June 7 State Meet Returning lettermen Captain Rich Cogswell.

CROSS COUNTRY The 1951 cross country team had an outstanding season, one of the most successful in the history of the school. The dual meet record of six wins, one loss, second place in the county, and fifth place in the state attests their success. Plainfield, Edison, Union, Scotch Plains, and Kearney bowed to Mel Michaels' boys. The harriers lost only to the county champs, Thomas Jefferson of Elizabeth. Senior letter winners were Captain Perry Welch and Gerry Wright; junior lettermen were Bob Bonnetti, Pete Tatro, Frank Clark, Pryor Dougherty, and Lloyd Williams.

The largest group ever to volunteer, including nine juniors and seven sophomores, provides opportunity for building a fine team. Seven candidates were out for last year's team, but none appeared in competition. These boys, all juniors, are Bill Bunce, John Darby, Bill Husk, Del Ritchie, Dick Shapiro, A1 Schuster, and Lloyd Williams. The tentative schedule for 1952 includes eleven dual matches in addition to the Union County and the State meets. Cranford and Morristown are newcomers to the Devil linksters' slate.

Due to the completion of the new gym, Coach Noel Taylor had the pitchers and catchers working out inside by March 1. The nucleus of the squad was two top-flight pitchers, Bob Williams and Pel Brown. Another returning letterman was Captain George Van Hart, short stop for the last two seasons, who was expected to switch to catcher to fill a large gap left by departing Dave Anderson. Gerry Wright, a .660 batter last season, returned to second base. Tony Bavosa returned to third, and Dawson List and John Zink to the outfield. The other positions were not certain at the beginning of the season, since a promising group of Jayvees and sophomores, hungry for starting positions, made a favorable showing.

The Girls' Athletic Committee, supervised by Mrs, Rogers and Miss Flannelly, has as its officers Chairman, Ann Tedesco; Program Chairman, Margaret Gentles; Treasurer, Janet Noll; and Secretary, Mary Dreier. The G. A. C. sponsored dances, planned interscholastic athletic events, presented awards, and acted as guides for the open houses. The organization designed the jewelry presented to the seniors at the Annual Dessert on April 25, which had as its theme From the old to the new ... a dream come true. It also presented at graduation the Gold Letter award to the girl voted the most outstanding in athletics and other school activities. Officers’ Training The physical education and after school sports program offers the girls an excellent opportunity for healthful training and development and for recreational enjoyment. Because of the variety and extensiveness of the program, each girl has a chance to attain skill in at least one activity. The officers’ training group is the skeleton or the physical education program. It is upon the shoulders of this group that the responsibility of maintaining the gym classes is placed. The group meets once a week to drill in preparation for the annual spring demonstration held in May. At this program the companies are led in keen competition. Girls are trained not only to give and respond to marching commands but also to become better leaders. Senior Award Girls First row, left to right: Ann Tedesco, Astrid Frolich. Anne Williams.
