Apply Westfield High, Westfield, N.J. ” from 1948 Weather Vane Although the building has changed, some aspects of our school life remain the same: “WANTED - A sophomore class that won't steal our men. Senior Girls. ” from 1945 Weather Vane “To the school at large we leave the lunchroom, together with the suggestion that all prospective diners be requited to sign a paper releasing the school from all responsibility in case of accident or sudden death.’’ Clause VII, 1926 Class Will The high school experience has been a diverse and challenging one that will leave an indelible mark on our lives. Through our classes, extracurricular activities, and friendships, we have known good and bad, triumph and tragedy, victory and defeat. Most of all, we have learned the values of hard work, good sportsmanship, and respect for others. Westfield High may have meant many things to many different people, but it has strengthened each one of us for the greater goals of life that lie ahead.

Kennedy. His life and ideals were supreme, testimony to the truth of the words of Charles Sumner. The true grandeur of nations is in those qualities which constitute the true greatness of the individual. The President was in a position uniquely suited to making his individual standards strongly felt. The country assimilated many of his ideals and made them a part of its national standards. It responded warmly to his courage in the face of crisis, to his strength of purpose, and to his vibrant, cultured mind. In turn the Kennedys lent their charm and graciousness to the image of our country. Kennedy is proof of the way in which history may be altered through the efforts of one man or a few. At this time he is an exalted example of the importance of the individual in the building of a nation, a culture, or simply a school. The individual who can incorporate into his life the principles of intelligent thought, compassion, realism, and idealism is the individual who, by his personal attitude, will form a society with these same high ideals.

We have been exposed to the logic of science, the lessons of history, and philosophies of life. Not only has our senior year meant a growth in knowledge, but it has also meant new friendships, new accomplishments, and senior activities. In September wc held a party to welcome all new seniors to our class. On October eleventh, we gathered at Tamaques Park for our senior picnic. Later that month we joined in our major service project by distributing pamphlets for the town of Westfield. In February' we presented our senior play. Lute Song. In June we attended •he senior banquet, the grand finale of our high school years. Led by the officers and senior council of the Class of '64, we have met the responsibilities and have enjoyed the privileges of our senior year. It has been a year in which each of us has used his individual talents to serve our school, community, and country.

Karlene Villa and Phil Thawley, Mr. Scott's English IV students. film their version of Chaucer’s “Knight’s Tale.” The study of English is perhaps the most fundamental of scholastic endeavors. A vital factor to the pursuit of normal activities, the individual must prove himself proficient in reading, writing and speaking his native tongue before he may assume a position of responsibility in his society. The necessity for a mastery of English to successfully participate in all other activities at Westfield High is an excellent illustration of this importance. Students in Westfield High School encounter a number of diverse challenges as they proceed through their English curriculum. Personal expression through composition and literary interpretation are emphasized. attempting to crystallize the basic opinions and principles of each student. This individual development is further enhanced through frequent writing conferences between teacher and pupil as well as encouragement for the student to enlarge on areas of his own particular interest through special presentations and discussions. Carol McDaniel employs her artistic talents to illustrate a scene from Edith Hamilton’s Mythology for English IV. Noblest Accomplishment. Himself Cathie Lewis and Jitn Lerman engage in a spirited altercation over the deeper meanings of Barabbas in English V. Mark Scligman and Rachel Shcrhourne dramatize “Poor Maddalena in one of Miss Brinscr's dramatics classes. The English department offers a number of supplemental1)' courses to enrich its program of required academic subjects. These include classes in journalism, dramatics and speech. In general they provide the rudiments of professional training for future careers as well as valuable practical experience in the fundamentals of producing plays, publishing a weekly newspaper and speaking persuasively in public. Individuality becomes the watchword as each student strives to create his own style of presentation of the problems and thoughts which confront him as a person. Tom Ticmann chairs a panel discussion in Speech I class Other participants arc Kit Foster, Geoff Mar sac. and Joel Berkley. Through the English conference student Wendy Wilson and teacher Miss Dietrich discuss problems on an individual basis. Mr. Walter Clarkson demonstrates front page make-up to a Journalism I class.

Language, the key to human communication, must transcend national boundaries in order to facilitate international cooperation and world peace. It is in recognition of this need that Westfield Senior High School has developed such an extensive and comprehensive department of foreign languages. Four-year course offerings in French, German, Latin, and Spanish are offered in addition to a one-term language survey course. The aim of each of the department's well-qualified teachers is to instill in the student an appreciation and understanding of the history and culture of the particular nationality he is studying in addition to the ability to read, write and speak the language. Slides, tapes, movies and field trips aid in this attempt as well as the examination of appropriate masterpieces of national literature in the third and fourth years. The knowledge thus amassed by the student in high school will serve him well as the foundation for his advanced study of language in future years. “Civis Romanus sum!” F.d Parmcnticr, Latin III orator, proclaims his pride in the glory of Rome as Mrs. Winquist looks on approvingly. Mr. La Costa, chairman of the foreign language department, lectures a third year class on the “Golden Age” of Spanish literature. Languages Is Ignorant of His Own. Mr. Kurtz recounts the glories and fascination of Ole Mexico. The legacies of ancient Rome find their way to a W H S. classroom. Sherry! Meinschein and friends sell German cookies. French I students produce skits to improve conversational ability. Oral comprehension in the lah gives students an opportunity for practical ap-plication of foreign language skills. Social Science: The Formation The Civil War is a favorite topic of Mr. Corner Lewis’ U.S. History I lectures. Mr. Miller traces the path of westward expansion for history students. The courses of the Social Studies Department at Westfield High School encompass a variety of areas concerning man's political, social, military and economic activities. Two years of United States history, required of all students, and classes in Latin American history and modern world history present excellent opportunities for analysis of the value of a democracy in the worldwide power struggle of today.

During the past feu years the Science Department at Westfield High School has been adapting its curriculum to inform its students ol the most recent and widespread developments in the world of science. In addition to the traditional approach to biology, chemistry, physiography and physics, BSSC biology and PSSC physics have added new concepts to these subjects. A second year of both biology and chemistry are available to exceptional students, offering a great deal more opportunity for lab work than do the after school labs in the first year courses. This year the department has again sponsored the Saturday Science Program, a series of lectures and demonstrations by eminent scientists for interested and qualified students. This program consists of two sections, physical and biological science, and covers topics of great interest and concern such as nuclear reactors and viral research.

If He Individual projects absorb the attention of general shop students. Courses in automotive metals, ceramics, electronics, mechanical drawing, and general shop afford a diversified industrial arts program at Westfield High School. The students design, plan and build their own projects, using the knowledge they have gained through class instruction to produce decorative and useful implements. The focal point of many of these courses is the military technolog)' examinations given during the year which select trainees for specialist ratings upon high school graduation. The Home Economics Department, similarly to the Industrial Arts Department, puts great emphasis on personal imagination and initiative. The clothing course encourages girls to design and create their own outfits and enter them in various fashion shows. In homemaking and foods classes more attention is paid to the basic skills the girls need to be efficient housewives: planning and cooking meals and keeping pleasant homes. The boys’ cooking class is a popular elective for many boys. Is not That, He Is Nothing. Boh Stanbach, Bernie Smith, and Henry Sturcke prove male supremacy in the kitchen. Girls in the foods course know that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. The art of sewing can be made an enjoyable and profitable hob-by.

This aim has fitted well into the life of WHS, particularly in the program of a student secretary for many teachers in the school. This service gives the students invaluable experience, presenting them with the opportunity to use what they have learned in typing, stenography, bookkeeping and office practice classes as well as helping the teachers. Business Education Day allows the students to work in various offices in town and get on-the-job knowledge. In addition to secretarial courses the Business Department includes classes in applied law, consumer education, and occupations which propose to inform the students of possible problems they might encounter when they enter the field of business. The ability to type efficiently is an essential sccretaiial The techniques of successful office management arc emphasized in the office practice course. Good Counsels Observed Are Steps to Success Kathic Felix discusses college plans with her guidance counselor. Mr. Johnson. College night, career conferences, College Board and National Merit testing. Armed Forces Day, individual college interviews, sophomore orientation, and employment placement are all vital concerns of the Guidance Department at Westfield High. The five counselors personally interest themselves in the school’s nineteen-hundred pupils, offering advice and assistance in a wide variety of areas. Always open to students, the Guidance office and the Guidance reading room offer easy access to catalogs and pamphlets on colleges and vocations as the student body of WHS sets its goals for the years to come. Dr. E. Alden Dunham of Princeton University delivers the keynote address at College Night. “Art is the perfection of nature.” Sir Thomas Browne Mask and Mime Arms and the Man For its annual production, the Mask and Mime Club chose the satiric comedy, Arms and thr Man, by George Bernard Shaw. Through the varied aspects of produc tion the club members, both cast and crew, lived in part the life of the theater. While the audience saw the Thespians on stage, the production saw many backstage workers who had also given up their afternoons and evenings for a successful presentation. Members of the cast included Karen Olson, John Shell ey. Susan Hawkins, Betty Bailey. Charles Henderson, Thomas Danch, Robert Trenner, and Bruce Wallace. Miss Carol Brinser directed, assisted by Mrs. Marianne Murray and Mrs. Lynn Robbins. Mrs. Betty Schcnck supervised the stage design. Do v '°u know.

Choir The Choir of Westfield High is composed of choral students who are especially talented in music. Westfield has always been proud of the quality of the music that the choir presents. Directed by Mrs. Janet Gleason, the choir practices twice a week during school and has frequent practices before and after school. The Choir performs at Christmas and coordinates its program with the tableaux and performs again in die spring along with the other choral groups. This year the Choir was accompanied by Mary Moffett and Ginger Monks. Thirteen Twelve The Twelve is a select group ot senior girls who arc chosen for their superior talent in music. They sing in three part harmony and present programs in school, and for several church and social organizations. Several performances were given at the P.T.A., dances, Old Guard, and Woman's Club. Composed of senior boys, the Thirteen is popular for its casual manner and varied repertoire. The group has appeared at the Presbyterian Couples Club, PTA meetings, and many dances throughout the year in addition to the Music Festival. David Harwood and Cindy Bowes are accompanists. Designed to bridge the gap between junior and senior high choral groups, the Boys’ (Bee Club I is composed of sophomore boys. Miss Margaret Shaw, director, teaches the boys skills which will prepare them for more advanced work. Accompanied by Linda Wyman and Rosemary Hooper, the group appears in the Christmas Assembly and the Christmas Concert. Boys’ Glee Club I Boys' Glee Club II Reserved for seniors, juniors and a lew sophomores, the Boys Advanced Glee Club appeared in the Christmas Assembly, Christmas Concert, and Spring Music Festival. One of the highpoints of the year was singing for several elementary schools in the spring. The repertoire included secular music, popular songs, and works especially composed for male choruses. Sherryl Meinshein and Robert Rice provided accompaniment under Mrs. Gleason’s direction. 130 Directed by Miss Margaret Shaw and accompanied by Margaret YVeiland, Girls1 Chorus I consists mainly of sophomores who wish to begin participation in the music department. Through this chorus. the girls gain valuable experience and are offered the chance to develop their voices for work in the advanced chorus. Those who attain a higher voice quality are allowed to join Girls’ Advanced Chorus in their next year in WHS. Girls’ Chorus I The advanced Chorus II is offered to those junior and senior girls who have the ability and desire to continue in a choral group. Led by Mrs. Gleason, this chorus presents pieces on a more difficult level in the Christmas Program and again in the Spring Festival. This year the chorus elected to sing a number of contemporary Guls CflOTUS II songs which presented a challenge to the group and provided a very entertaining program. The group was accompanied by Kathy Lewis and Vicki Yablonski. 131 Swing Band Woodwind Ensemble Strike up the hand! Whether playing at a football game or an assembly, the WHS band has provided mood and background for the successful school year. Staffed by the musically inclined and under the worthy direction of Mr. Robert Banks, the school band played at football games, assemblies, pep rallies, various school plays, at local parades, and at the Winter Band Concert in January and the Pops Concert in May. The band is divided into several specialized groups: the jazz band, the marching band, the concert hand, the studio band, and the orchestra Decked in their suave dark blue uniforms, the members of the marching band played at ali the football games and cheer assemblies, while the more formal concert band played at both the Winter and Pops Concerts. The orchestra played at the Mask Mime Play, and the studio and jazz bands were featured in the Pops Concert. Officers of the band for tliis year are James Ryckman, president: Stefan Young, vice president; Gail Walker, sec rctary; and Jane Price, treasurer. Richard Thiele is chairman of the orchestra, and Martha Longwell is secretary. Editorial Staff Begun as a monthly in 1934 under the leadership of Dr. Foose, the His Eye has evolved to a weekly publication under the tutelege of adviser Walt Clarkson. Acclaimed as one of the leading school papers in the state, the Hi's Eye covers every facet of school life. Athletics, music, faculty activities, and academics receive diligent coverage. Striving for accuracy, Esmerelda II offers 25$ to anyone whose name is misspelled. Quartered in homeroom 106, many competent journalism students contribute to the paper each week: Karen Kan-dra and Perry Samuels, co-editors; Barbara DiTrolio, news bureau; Steve Atwood and BufTy Rounds, news; Judy Bolen and Louise Gibi.ey, features; Dennis Brotman and Bill Myers, sports; Ginnie Mikesell and Janice Thomas, fourth page; Astrid Madea, illustrations; Kubby Haskell, advertising; and Bob Busch, circulation.

In piecing together the different sections, and working to complete them before the inevitable deadlines, we learned to work in harmony. As the separate parts of the hook began to grow into their final, unified form, we, as individuals, grew closer together. Involved with our work on the hook was a fuller awareness of our class as a whole. The wide scope of talents, potentials, and achievements contained in the lass of 1964, have contributed immeasurably to the constitution of this U’cathci lane. Without this class to prov ide material, we could not have produced such .! record of our last year in WHS. This yearbook is a i. lire tion of what our class has done, not only in education. but in the many other fields that are open to us for achievement. We especially attribute the success of this hook to the ro-editors Joan Walterinire and Alan Dunning who hav e put an unlimited amount of work and enthusiasm into the coordination and publishing of the 1964 M’tallu ) I'aiii. The completion of this hook would have also been impossible without the help and guidance from Mr. Scott, our faculty adviser and Mrs. N henck. art adviser.

The class of 65, under the leadership of Bruce Wallace, Gene Procopio, Carol Dawson, David Kidd, and David Perkowski and the direction of Miss Jean Russo, class adviser, has met the challenge of its junior year. Early in the year, the Juniors chose the sale of American Field Service bonds as a class project. They worked diligently and were successful in raising money for the Westfield A.F.S. program and in promoting a greater understanding of A.F.S. in the community. Their other major project, the Junior Promenade, was also a success. Led by chairman Lee Schlesinger, the Juniors joined such committees as decorations, tickets, program, patrons, refreshments, flowers, invitations, and clean-up to help prepare for the Prom and realize the theme of Alice in Wonderland. The Junior class may regard its year with pride for its achievements. JUNIOR COUNCIL ROW OKI- P Taylor. C Bartlett. I) Kidd. B. Wallace, F. Procopio, C. Dawson.

The sophomore council, led by these students and Miss Mar)’ Learish, class adviser, composed a constitution to prepare for the year. The council was unique in being the first to employ parliamentary procedure in its meetings. During their year at WHS the sophomores participated in a variety of activities which served to introduce them to high school life. They took part in an orientation program which helped them in developing future educational and vocational plans, and they enthusiastically staged the variety-talent show which has become an enjoyable highlight of the sophomore year. Finally, in a class assembly, the sophomores became acquainted with the purposes and activities of the American Field Service as our foreign representatives and foreign student from Brazil shared their experiences with the class. The sophomore class, in the words of Miss Learish, “has been spirited, cooperative, and enthusiastic in all its activities, ' and now. after electing new officers, the class awaits the challenge of its junior year.

A Thanksgiving Day victory against an unbeaten Plain-field eleven highlighted a successful Blue Devil grid season. Playing their finest game of the year. Coach Kchlers men established their supremacy over the Plainfield team early in the game and never allowed them to gain control. Although not rated highly in pre-season standings, only two hardfought losses to tough Cranford and Springfield teams prevented the Devils from sporting an unblemished record. Leading the team were two outstanding co-captains, tackle Joe Hagy and quarterback Dwight Davies. Hagy was a steady performer both offensively and defensively, and Davies led the county in touchdown passes with twelve. Starring in the backficid were Rudy Brown. Jay Isbrccht, and Jim O'Neil. Brown, who electrified the crowd on numerous occasions with his dazzling broken-field running, will return next year as co-captain. Isbrccht. a powerful halfback, could always be counted on for tough yardage. O'Neil was the team’s leading ground-gainer and led in scoring eight touchdowns. Outstanding performances were also turned in by ends Harry Beane, who caught six touchdown passes to lead the county, and Joe VViendl whose hard-nosed blocking helped to punch holes in the opponents' lines. The Devils’ tough, mobile line was anchored at center by Jim Lincoln. Starting in the guard berths were Jim Minno, ROW ONE: J Brcitcnstein 'manager), D. Douwcs (manager). N Schmidt, S. Hoppin, R.

Working at the tackle slots with Hagy were junior Steve Hoppin and senior Randy Blair. Each one did a capable job on both the offensive and the defensive units. The defensive platoon performed outstandingly, stopping teams week after week which far outweighed them. Leroy (iallman and Jerry Hendershott starred at the very difficult linebacker positions. Tackle Charlie Hcly, end Haldane Taliaferro, and middle guard Jim Coy strengthened the defensive line and accounted for many key tackles. Utilitymen Brad Zimmerman (guard) and Charlie Matino (defensive hack) also turned in top performances when called upon for a good team effort. Juniors Boh Van Kucrcn (tackle . Charlie Clark (hack), and Gregg Smolcnski (end) won their letters and will return next year along with Minno, Brown, Hoppin. Coy, and Hendershott to form the core of next year's team. Returning with them will be the two sophomore lettermen Ron Hall and John Greene. Hall saw a good deal of action at the halfback position and Greene was the team’s placekicker. He scored 25 points during the season. With a nucleus of such excellent ballplayers, Westfield will be able to look forward to another successful team next season. H. Gerber (coach). ROW THREE: V.

Senior lettermen George Cunningham and Hal Jensen gave the team considerable depth, along with juniors Ken Robinson, Bruce Miller, Ken Barbour and Doug Miller.

The Blue Devils out-scored the opposition 11-1 in conference play and turned in a fine 2-0 victory over defending champion Clark: however, the team dropped tough 1-0 decisions to Pingry and Jefferson, two of the best in the state. A strong group of senior defensive stars was the key to the success of Coach Bjarne Tonnesen's hooters. Goalie Dick Stiefken and fullback Bill Richold. both allcounty selections, led the unit that also included Mark Metcalf, Joe Balka. Pete Graff, and Jack Irwin. Senior wing Ed Thorne, Watchung Conference scoring champion, led the ofTense with 10 goals. Juniors Steve McCoy and Nick Delmonico scored three times each, while Bob Schrarn, Bart Phelps. Lou Porchetta. Jim Boates, Bob Decker. Hank Barrows, and Mike Braun all played well on the forward line. With the return of Captain-elect Delmonico, McCoy, Decker, and Boates, plus sophomores Joe Carroll and Bill Paden, Coach Tonnesen has the nucleus of another strong team for this ’64 season.

Basketball The 1963-64 Basketball team proved an outstanding blend of talent, height, and determination. Coach John Lay was faced with the unenviable task of rebuilding a team hit hard by last year's graduation. But he had outstanding material, and the result was another fine YV.H.S. Basketball team. The starting five was headed by senior captain Bob Whitaker. Juniors Bob Felter, Jerry Richards. Steve Wright, and Bill Dlouhy rounded out the quintet. Senior Mike Cowles served as a capable reserv e. Led by Whitaker’s 13.5 points per game average and F'elter's high scoring (332 points! and rebounding (194), the Blue Devils rolled to a 15-6 record. Richards showed his ability under the backboards, while Dlouhy and Wright added crucial points to die scoring column (110 and 224 points respectively). The finest moment of the regular season was the thrilling 54-50 victory over a powerful Hillside team. In the Union County Tournament the team moved to the quarter-finals before being upset by Jefferson. Handicapped by the loss of Felter and Richards, the team bowed to a strong Bridgewater-Raritan team in the second round of the State Tournament after defeating Springfield in the first round.

The two-mile relay team, composed of seniors Gerry McGowan, Steve Calvert, and Steve Atwood, and junior Ken Robinson, won the state championship with a time of 8:30.1, a new school record. The relay team also retained the Union County championship with a phenomenal time of about 8:21; but due to an official's error, the record-breaking time will not count. Two fine individual performers were Captain Seve Calvert in the mile run and senior Brock Coleman in the 60 yard high hurdles. Calvert ran a 4:32.7 in the Northern Jersey mile to beat defending champion Steve Harris of Scotch Plains and set a new indoor school record. Coleman, the school record holder in both outdoor hurdles events, ran consistently well during the indoor season.

Returning for the 1964 season is the nucleus of the finest Blue Devil team in recent years, which compiled an 18-7 record and nipped Springfield in a ten-inning thriller to win the Union County tournament. Coach Koury possesses an excellent pitching staff headed by seniors Dennis Burke and Bill Richold, and junior Greg Chian. Burke fired the first no-hitter in Westfield history while defeating Jefferson last year. Handling the hurlers will be Charlie Widmer, a .287 hitter and fine catcher who should attain all-star rankings his senior year. Second baseman Dwight Davies anchors a good defensive infield that will also include Joe Wiendl at shortstop and Bill Myers at third base. Several boys are battling for the first base spot. Five seniors, Rob Schram, Nick Piscopo, Ed Thome. Roger Doyle, and Charlie Mason, afford Westfield strong speed and hitting ability at the outfield posts. 174 ROW ONE: I). Pcrkowski, D.

The team also captured the Union County Championship, climaxing Coach Gary Kohler’s most successful year at the helm. This year’s team promises to be exceptionally good.

Modern Dance Modern dance is an art form which involves motion as its means of the expression of an emotion, a philosophy, or a word. As such, it requires great muscular strength and coordination plus a creative imagination. This year, Mrs. Kuznitz instructed a beginners group in learning fundamental locomotion. In her advanced group, however, theory was stressed. This program included application of the four basic elements of dance — design, dynamics, rhythm, and motivation. For example, the girls experimented with patterns using one or more bodies, counted music, and choreographed their own dances for the gym program. Lacrosse A game of fast moving action. Lacrosse has its origin with the North American Indians. It was introduced recently into the physical education curriculum as both a class activity and an afterschool sport with informal participation with nearby schools. The girls’ game is a modified version of a rougher boys’ sport. i Basketball After-school basketball attracted, as usual, a large crowd of participants to the bi-weeklv practices. Over one hundred girls dribbled, practiced lay ups. jump shot , foul shot , and passing, arid devised strategies during practice, and their results were worth the work in both fun and success. Teams from Scotch Plains, Princeton, Chatham, Summit and the two junior Itighs were among the girls’ opponents. The teams were divided by classes, but there was no hierarchy of ability, and the sophomore, junior and senior teams finished their seasons successfully. Girls' Gym Program Once a year the boys take to the bleachers, and the girls have their moment of glorv in the spring gym program. Besides the familiar athletic skills of basketball, speedball, and volleyball, the girls demonstrated apparatus work, stunts and turn-bling. In a program of dances generally unfamiliar to the audience the girls employed the graceful expression of modern dance, the spirit of folk dance and the unusual movement in tin-a-cling to give the evening a unique flavor. The program was climaxed by inter-class marching competition in which original routines were presented with precision. Tension was high as the outstanding officers of the year and of the night were presented with awards and the winner of the marching was chosen. The entire program was supervised by the gym teachers Miss Victoria Melosi. Mrs. Georgi-ana Kuznitz, and Miss Marjorie Rugen. ROW I: B O’Neil. C Henry. B. A. Matuszak, M. Lynett. ROW 2: G.

Besides writing and putting on skits for back-to-school night, sponsoring the Country Dance and doing a great amount of work for the gym program, the group found time to sell cowbells and to add a very successful picnic to the senior-sophomore sister program. The G.S.C. finished its program with a spring dessert to honor girls who were outstanding participants in the physical education program.

In the spring a dinner is held to give members public recognition for their achievement. .Although the National Honor Society's primary concern is academic, it also functions as a service club. The fund raising projects of the year were directed toward a scholarship which is given to a graduating senior. The recipient is selected by a special committee of faculty, administration, and students. The NHS members also hosted career conferences, monitored the guidance office reading room, acted as guides on College Night and tutored WHS students.
