DUNCAN Physical Education is one of the most im- portant phases of school life, and for the past twenty-six years Robert L. Duncan has headed this department as Director of Athletics He is currently head coach of the track team and has also coached football and basketball. A native of Oconto, Wisconsin, Mr. Duncan received his B. S. degree in physical training from the University of Iowa in 1923. For three years he quarterbacked the football team there. Here he is very active in local affairs, including church and Y.M.C.A. work. In addition to his school work in physical education, Mr. Duncan has held important offices in related organiza- tions. He has been both president and vice- president of the New Jersey Association for Health and Physical Education and has also been a member of the National Football Rules Committee, the Union County Interscholastic Athletic Conference, and the New Jersey Inter- scholastic Athletic Association. Although Mr. Duncan must schedule all the sporting events of the high school and attend to mountains of clerical work, he finds time to teach personal living to boys and to instruct some gym classes. Liked and respected by all, he is looked to by many as a source of inspira- tion and guidance. A happy family life with his charming wife and two children who have attended Westfield schools from their earliest years has given him an exceptionally good background for wholesome advice and counsel. The Class of 1955 is proud to have the privi- lege of dedicating this yearbook to a fine man and a fine teacher, Robert L. Duncan. 5 ■I FACULTY DR. S. N. EWAN, JR.

Second row: Patsy Miller, Fay Martin, Ted Sandquist, Bob Stuart, Patty Park, Miss Gromlich. Absent: Bob List, Dick Thurn, The National Honor Society is an honorary organization designed to give recognition to junior and senior students who have achieved a position of high standing in their class in scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Members must rank in the upper twenty per cent of their class, and have received a passing grade on all examinations. Maximum member- ship is ten per cent of the class. As ail incentive for others to improve their scholastic standing, the National Honor Society offers cash prizes to two seniors whose stand- ing has improved most from their sophomore to their senior year. New members are selected by the faculty and announced at a special assembly in the spring. They are formally inducted at a ceremony and reception attended by faculty, old and new members, and parents. Miss Elisabeth Grom- lich is the adviser, and this yearns officers were President, George Holzwrarth; Vice-President, Peter Tishler; Secretary, Sally Mitchell; and Treasurer, Martha Gerhart. A much appreciated innovation this year ivas the gilt of the National Honor Society pins by the Parent-Teachers Association. STUDENT COUNCIL One representative or one alternate from each homeroom and four officers elected by the school comprise the governing body of the school which holds meetings about once a month. During the year the group sold school book covers and blue and white “'pom-poms”. Two dances, “The Kick-Off” and “The Mid-Winter Ball,” sponsored by the council, were a great success. The latter had as its setting the in- terior of a ski lodge. An important service to the school was provision for two assemblies. One of these was a talk by Glenn Cunningham, world famous track star; the other was a stu- dent talent program. This year the Student Council also sent a representative to the Union County Student Council Conference. Students submit ideas or suggestions either through their homeroom representatives or through the suggestion hox located in the li- brary. After the suggestion has been discussed before the council, a poster located in the li- brary explains what has been done. This year’s officers wTere Peter Pfaff, presi- dent; Dick Griggs, vice-president; Claire Min- nick, secretary; and Nino Carnavale, treasurer. The Student Council was capably advised by Mr. Harold Thompson and Mr. Albert Bohal, First row, left to right: Fete Pfaff. president; Nino Carnevale, treasurer; Claire Minnick, secretary; Dick Griggs, vice-president.

Fourth row: Bucky Harris, Pete Pfaff, Bob Cassidy, Every afternoon during the long months of winter, a brave and determined little group met in the inner recesses of 212 to attack the monumental task of publishing the yearbook. First came the organizing of the staff and its committees. The members of the write-up committee were responsible for the senior sec- tion. Their task included arranging six senior pictures with a complimentary description of each person and an appropriate sketch on each page. Such items as the class will, senior su- perlatives, anti class prophecy were the re- sponsibility of the feature committee. The club editor saw to it that an article and picture of each school chib appeared. The activities editor prepared and edited each student’s list of activities which appears in the book. In charge of designing the book was the layout committee which worked in close contact with the art committee. Every senior contributed to the herculean task of getting out the yearbook, but the prin- cipal responsibility fell upon the following: Jim Tindall, editor-in-chief; Marnie Sparre, as- sistant editor; Elise Phillips, club editor; Bar- bara Pierson and Carol Hoyerman, typing editors; Judie Botts, senior write-up editor; Ken Cole and Dave Rochat, sports editors; Marcia Kenney and Barbara Denney, lay-out editors; Darcy Cregar, art editor; Pat Park, activities editor; Jane Huber, girls’ sports editor; Connie Walsh and Julie Windham, fea- ture editor; and Pete Tlshler, business man- ager. WEATHER VANE ANNUAL ___________ WESTFIELD HI’S EYE r L Because of increased costs, the Westfield Hiys Eve this year changed from letterpress to offset printing This change enabled the staff to publish fifteen issues in contrast to the nine of the previous year and to include many more pictures of student activities. The editorial staff of the Hi’s Eye, ably ad- vised by Bernard Thomas, included Patsy Mil- ler, editor; Jim Tindall, sports editor; Judie Bolts, feature editor; Mamie Sparre, news editor; Sally Mitchell, publications editor; and Ken Cole, Marie Gilson, Dave Weed and Joyce Bergsland, reporters. Art work for the paper was drawn by Darcy Cregar and photographs were taken by Bob Beckett, Frank Magelhaes, and Bob Cassidy, Heading the business staff, supervised by Andrew Palencar, was Jane Huber, business manager, assisted by Beverly Baldwin and Ad- dison Slocum. Serving as office manager was Margie Savoye and as circulation manager, Rosetta Mannino. Among the popular features innovated this year were the “Senioralities” column and the “Scramble Schools” contest for Hi’s Eye readers. Members of the staff again attended the Co- lumbia Scholastic Press Association Conference and the New Jersey Scholastic Press Association Conference where they received valuable criti- cism and new ideas.

This club provides ample opportunity for ar- guing for those who find it stimulating. The objects of the club are to develop greater think- ing about current events and to learn to speak in defense of our own views in public. The meetings are conducted in the homes of members on the third Thursday evening of every month. The meetings are carried out according to parliamentary procedure, and each debate is organized and prepared by volunteers or by members who are asked to debate. One of the most disputed subjects debated on was “Is Peaceful Co-Existence with Russia Pos- sible?” Besides the regular meetings, the club par- ticipated in the Union County Forum. Our club also sent representatives to appear in a debate on television. Another highlight of the club’s activities was an assembly to which we invited the Princeton Debating Team to debate against members of the club. Mr. Miller was the adviser, and the officers were: President, Jim Tindall; Vice-President, George Holzwarth; Secretary, Marcia Kenney; and Treasurer, Bill Wyman. 64 First row, left to right: Meredith Hensrhkel, Liz Topham, Suzy Werber, Ginny Platt. Second row: Pat Daycock, Miss Bordner, adviser. Third row: Suzanne Skillin, Bob Gaido, Gordon Smith, Joyce Bergsland, Libby Dougherty, Barbara Kupp. Absent: Carol Hoppin, Lyn Kimball. Although the staff is hamp- ered by lack of funds, the single issue of the school magazine continues to mirror literary and artistic talent. Contributions come both from class assign- ment and from individual effort. Talented staff artists illustrate the stories, provide various types of artistic embel- lishment, and design colorful covers. Because of similarity of interests the staff joined the Writer’s Club in a social meet- ing. Officers were Gordon Smith, editor-in-chief; Bob Gai- do, business manager; Liz Top- ham, literary editor; Carol Hop pin, poetry editor; and Barbara Kupp, art editor. WEATHER VANE MAGAZINE WRITERS’ CLUB This small club consists of a group convinced that the pen is mightier than the sword. Almost any tiling—outer space, inner turmoil, or sudden beauty —provides subject matter for stories, essays, and poems that members read and criticize at the meetings, held regularly in the apartment living room and occasionally in private homes. Well-known writers such as Elizabeth Inskip Wye, Char- lotte Montgomery, and Gerald Raftery have addressed the club this year. The officers are Jim Tindall, president: Ginnie Bach, vice-president; Liz Top- ham, secretary; and Peggy Smyers, treasurer. First row, left to right: Liz Topham, Peggy Smyers, Judy Anderson, Jim Tindall, Bonnie Birdsall, Carol De Chellis, Judie Botts.

Discussions are centered around the works of one author or one period or type of literature. Features of this year’s activities were a book recognition contest and the an- nual trip to New York City to see a Broadway show. In the spring the club attended a matinee performance of “Wit- ness To The Prosecution.” Meetings are held monthly in members’ homes under the guidance of Miss Margaret Diet- rich of the English department. The club of officers were Presi- dent, Dan Reese; Vice-Presi- dent, Bruce Edwards; Secre- tary, Sally Mitchell; and Treas- urer, Bill Wyman.

Each year on the French Club Trip members of the club visit a French movie and eat at a French restaurant. The club also contributes to an annual charity. Program agendas in- clude vocabulary games, the singing of French songs, plays, movies, and performances by the French Club orchestra. Through the many activities of the chib, members develop their knowledge of French and learn about French people by their correspondance with students in France, Mr. Gesner advises this group of sixty students. 68 LATIN CLUB The Latin Club enables its members to supplement their knowledge of the language in an enjoyable way. On account of the popularity of the club it was necessary to limit the mem- bership to students currently taking Latin. Monthly meetings are devoted to many activities enabling members to utilize their knowl- edge of the language through games, contests, singing, quiz programs, et cetera. This lighter side of things coupled with an increased knowledge of Latin and of the Roman people gained through trips, films, and informative programs gives the members a wealth of supple- mentary material as well as greater understanding of the language they are studying. For the big trip of the year the club attended the Annual Conven- tion of the New Jersey Junior Classical League which was held in the Trenton High School on April 22.

At the end of the season, they proceeded from the “great out-of-doors” of the gridiron to the “stuffy in-doors”, mainly room 29—band room. It was there they rehearsed for their annual Winter Concert containing such numbers as “Themes for Scheherazade” and “Night Beat”. After the Winter Concert, a small, select group of musicians formed the W.H.S. Swing Band. They were Nelson Coffman on drums, Pete Tishler on bass, Norland Berk on piano, Peter Boor, Paul Neuer, and Dick Griggs on trumpet, John Habley and George Butterfield on trombone and Cliff Robison, Reese Helmon- dollar, Bill Fullard, Dick Reynolds, and Don Bowlin on sax. They played for a school as- sembly and have plans for the “Pops Concert”. Speaking of the “Pops Concert”, the band will play such numbers as “William Tell Over- ture”, “Lady of Spain”, “Midnight in Paris”, and many others. The band also performed for such occasions as the annual Halloween Parade, assemblies, and the Memorial Day Parade. 86 First row, left: Peter Tishler. Second row: Margaret Brooke, Anne Saunders.

In addition to just attending classes and performing when required, members were en- couraged to learn new instruments or to form their own organizations such as the Square Dance Band. This year four orchestra members — Ruth Dahlstrom, Mike Tokar, Norland Berk and Dan Reese — performed in the All-State Or- chestra; and three members — Norland Berk, Mike Tokar and Dan Reese — were selected for the All-Eastern Orchestra in Boston. The elected officers of the Orchestra were Norland Berk, President; Charles Beckett, Vice-President; Kris Miller, Secretary. 87 SPORTS Westfield had one of the fightingest teams in recent years.

Entering onto the main thoroughfare, we passed such shops as BOB KELSO’s lingerie shop, DICK BILDEN’S jewelry shop, and the new R.R. C. grocery store owned by TOM RATCLIFFE, JOE ROEDIGER, and CHARLES CRISSEY. GEORGE BUCHANAN was selling brownies in BARBARA DEET’S bakery. EVAN WILLIAMS was seen strolling up the avenue sporting the newest styles in men’s haircuts in the newest shade of HOGAN red, while VINCENT NAPOLITANO, humming the latest in bop music, written by TEX COFFMAN, was cleaning the sidewalk in front of NINO CARNE VALE and BOB GARDNER’S spudnut shop. We almost drove into a sign, startled by ERNESTINE KEET’S latest creations, worn by fashion plates BAILY HAINES, BARBARA DENNEY, BARBARA PIERSON, NANCY SMITH, ANNE BLACKBURN, and MARGARET ELLIS, We were delayed slightly by an accident. Doctors WYMAN and TISHLER and nurses HEATON, LENSKOLD, TIBBETS, DAY and MOWEN rushed to the scene. After a few minutes, Officer O’KEEFE got traffic moving again, and we arrived at the theater, where we bought tickets from ANNE PRATO and PAULINE RUF- FINI. Starring in this hilarious comedy of BOB TORGESEN’S childhood days is ED TENNEY as Father, CONNIE W ALSH as Mother, and JUDIE BOTTS’ four read-headed boys as the sons. The premiere wras a smashing success with such personalities attending as BOB ERICSSON and DON FEELEY, the famous basketball players, and HARRY WIDMER, ART HORNER, JOE CAMBRIA, and BOB LIST, All-American football players, and the new win- ners of the mixed doubles at Forest Hills, BILL FULLARD and BARBARA STURGES Arriving in their ski pants from a slide down the nearest hill were FAY MARTIN, BARBARA SEAMAN, and JULIE W INDHAM. M.C. for the evening was JIM TINDALL, sports announcer. The evening was high- lighted by the arrival of the 100-meter free style record holder, ROGER ANDERSON, the sailboat enthusiast, LEIGHTON MILLER, and the new golf “champ”, BARRY MAXW ELL. Upon the arrival of the glamorous screen star ANN GILCHRIST, the mob rushed her for autographs; among the crowd were PAT BRINDLE, BARBARA HULL, MARCIA ROYCE, and BETSY BARDSLEY. BOB BECKETT and FRANK MAGALHAES frantically clicked their cameras. Another thrill for the autograph seekers was the arrival of handsome screen actor KEN COLE with his agent MARILYN SLIFER on his arm. There was a commotion when HERB WRIGHT, the peanut vender, could not be heard over the shrieks of CAROL SCHWARTZ, selling lemonade. Other screen stars who attended were JOHN BARLAS, sixth cousin of the late Edward G. Robinson, and MARILYN COOK, new starlet, who is under- study for Jeanne Crain. Science was represented by ROBERT STUART, inventor of the new W.H.S. bomb, with his assistants ARTHUR RICHIE and RICHARD THURN. Even the farmers heard about it, farmer STIRRUP being there in full array. The opening was honored by the first woman president, MARTHA GER- HART, and her secretary, JANE HUBER, with members of the cabinet SUSAN YODER, secretary of war, trying to make peace between TED SANDQUIST and NINA SALO, and DAVE ROCHAT, secretary of the treasury, who was the key figure in closing in on the international playboy tax evader team, BRUCE EDWARDS and BUCKY HARRIS. We took our seats, and the orchestra, conducted by MIKE TOKAR, struck its first note. PETER BOOR was on the trumpet; JOHN HABLEY, the fa- mous “Caravan” player from way back, on the trombone, with NORLAND BERK on the piano. The stage set was beautifully done by DARCY CREAGAR, DORIS VOGE- LER and JUDY BICKETT, with lighting by DAVE ANDREASSEN and BOB SMITH, sound by JACK STIER, and makeup by CONNIE FOX. Flowers for the set were provided by EDDY WILLIAMS, florist. At the opening of the curtain there was a contagious laugh let out from ELISE PHILLIPS, which sent her cohorts, SANDY FREEMAN, CAROLINE STEWART, DOTTIE HORNUNG, MARY LOU WOLFGANG, and MARCIA KATH, into mild hysteria. In the early editions of the papers the critics, MARNIE SPARRE, BOB CASSIDY, and MARCIA KENNEY, gave the production good notices, and all in all, fun was had by everyone.
