CLASS HISTORYWhile pouring over the musty archives of Cranford High, we uncovered among
.i toppling pile of green absence slips, a yellowed and moldy old manuscript entitled"Class History of '44" or "Nobody Knows the Trouble We've Seen."
Strain ing our eyes in the waning light, we read . . . .
"From the four corners of town they gathered us and herded us as tottering seventhidcrs into this might\p institution where we marked time for the next six years. How-
ever, we did pick up a few interesting tidbits along the way. For instance, in seventhand eighth grades we absorbed the fundamentals of fractions, grammar, and—ahem—other things. Wearing ourselves out tramping around the World's Fair, we decided itwas really plenty solid. We also acclaimed "Gone With the Wind," the girls spendingmany happy hours drooling over Rhett Butler while the boys admired his tactics.
Ninth grade was definitely plenty potent. The boys first dragged their women todances and learned that the feminine sex was puzzling. It was pretty bleak then toobecause, still conscientious and inexperienced, we discovered the gruelling tortures ofhomework—Man!—amo, amas, am.it, and the "Merchant of Venice" with Algebragiving the formerly unassuming letter "X" horrible and gruesome meaning.
Thus we fumbled our way into tenth grade. Ah! Senior High at last! Big thingshappened that year—big things. We look upon a touching scene—a dark, secludedbench, a moonlight night, two figures speaking in low voices. Oh, it's Bill Semonite, ourpresident, discussing football strategy with Rocco Annesc, Bill's right hand man inoffice, before their first game as varsity members. Ah, yes, that year we saw our girlsswooning when our boys played the football or basketball hero. Love came into its ownat the sophomore dance which was a success romantically if not financially. Such fine,old couples as Fred and Eli came into full bloom right about then.
Finally acknowledged as important members of C.H.S., we as upperclassmen had anoriginal and revolutionary dance—a Sadie Hawkins' Day dance. It was perfectlyhilarious hearing the boys wondering whether they'd be dated. Fred Swanekamp aspresident, engineered this gigantic success. A pretty super year all in all. Love life terrificas usual. That year, for instance, we had Mike and Agnes, Milly and Weber—all very,very groovy! Of course, the junior-senior prom was terrific and those decorationswere really solid.
Then after all the bitter, brooding years of experience, we had finally arrived. Webecame mighty and all-knowing seniors! (Sigh!) Were we wonderful! The boys had"out-of-this-world" cars which were rather startling to the older generation but plentyof fun for us. We wonder what the war effort would have done without us. We bought *Stamps and Bonds, joined the Civil Air Patrol, made the State Guard (the only thingbetween you and invasion), rolled bandages, and—heck—lots of things. Will Chinerywas Chief that year—the busiest in our history. Senior dance, "Out of the Frying Pan,"Class Night, Commencement! What a hectic time! — Three different meetings toattend each night. Work! Work! Work!—Student Council, Mask and Bauble, Chemis-try, French Club, Spotlight, Chemistry, Senior Annual, Spring Fever, and Chemistry. Wewonder how we survived!
Well, that's the story. We wouldn't want to do it again for—oh heck, it was greatand with all our complaining we know it."

SENIORPLAY
Lights! Music! Action! . . . and the curtain rises on this year's senior play, "Outof the Frying Pan." A hit on Broadway and made into a hilarious motion picture, itpromises to be one of the most outstanding productions in the long and eventful historyof Mathews' Thespians. Hushed and expectant, the audience sits tensely and the playbegins. They know there arc reasons and reasons for the success of this venture of theclass of '44.
In this tale of a group of aspiring young actors and actresses, there could be nobetter leading man than the one, the only, Dick Weber as Norman, the mainstay of thelittle band. Opposite him is naive and gullible Dottie Coburn played by Pat Collins, andin the role of the character comedian we have the inimitable Paul Bertelsen. AletheaSeel is the cynical member of the group, Kate Ault, and Barbara Arnesen is in the roleof dead-pan Muriel Foster. Will Chinery and Edith White arc cast as Tony and Margewho are very much in love (drool, drool). Then, of course, there is John Crisanti asMr. Kenny, the producer, and Dottie's worried papa played by Bob Tyrrell. MilHcentLapovsky has the part of Mrs. Garnet, the well-meaning landlady, and will do well asalways. Last but not least there are those two—Annesc and Isles as the rather stupidpolicemen.
Under the capable direction of Miss Mathews, "Out of the Frying Pan," can't miss!

This is your faithful reporter, Tom Abbott, better known to some of you as"Fearless Fiasco," bringing you the blow by blow description of the reunion of theClass of '44 held in the exclusive back room of Danny Kress' Fresh Fish Market.Before I go further 1 have a message from my sponsors, Toni Moody and Sheila Don-nally, manufacturers of "Vita-Dust," the breakfast cereal made especially to rid youof that harassed, depressed, melancholy feeling which usually comes between 3 P.M.and S P.M. This is commonly known as detention blues, and is caused by tardiness. Ifycu are suffering with this common ailment, hop in your helicopter, go to the nearestgrocery store, and buy a box of these miracle flakes. Immediate relief is guaranteed ifyou are in your homeroom before the first bell rings.
The reunion was truly a festive sight. The back room, brilliantly decorated withcrepe paper and balloons by John Good, president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,was thronging with people. Hastily glancing around I saw such notables as "Pudgcr"Terrill and Emily Jackson, co-editors of "Vogue"; Bob Smith, wealthy owner ofthe Slitz Brewery; Elmer Dills, first Fuller Brush man to sell 100 automatic toothbrushes; Paul Bertelsen, prominent Shakespearean actor currently starring in "Romeoand Juliet" with Milicent Lapovsky; Edith White, author of the only 500,000,000,000,-000 word dictionary in existence; and Eleanor Allen, president of the Allen Beanery.
The guests ate their fish dinner, cooked by that famous master chef, Howard Hill,while they were listening to the tunes of Swooner Crisanti accompanied by "SwingDrums" Colville and the Royal Cranfordian Orchestra. Following this, Senator DickWeber, king of the filibusters, who was acting as master of ceremonies, introduced thefirst speaker for the evening, Rocco Annese. Mr. Annese has just returned from doingrehabilitation work in Europe and has erected shirt factories in 14 of the world'scapitals. He described his trip in the Aerial Stratosphere Plane, designed by ProfessorsDonald Wilson and Dick Sudimack, who first became famous for their startling dis-covery of a cheap substitute for water, as being very interesting—and profitable.
Page 38
P R O P H E C Y
Accompanying him were Susan Hunn, whose book about the trip is having alittle difficulty passing the censor but will be published in the near future, JacquesWaller and Lydia Downc, who were taken along to promote good will, and thatwinner of the Nobel prize for Literature, Eddie Beadle. He is the only member whohasn't returned yet, but will when the cricket season is over. Bill MacMeekin, thepilot of the plane has announced that his next trip will be with John Chaney who ishoping to have as much success with gas stations as Rocco had with shirt factories.
Next in the program was a novelty dance by several of the gorgeous and glamorousgirls from the "Keppel Follies" featuring Beverley Baker, Agnes Korner, Alia Edwards,Dorothy Catts, Janie Schultz, Alethea Seal, and Lois Zozora. Following this, a mono-logue was given by Barbara Hoick, famous comedian of stage and screen. Miss Hoickowes much of her success to talent scout, Bob Isles, who discovered her in a drugstore.Bob has also been responsible for the discovery of Al Oram, currently starring in "CoverBoy," and such lovelies as Ruth Parsons, Ann Mason, Phyllis Nelson, and Katie Brooks.Katie was formerly a model, but was fired when she refused to pose for false teeth ads.
Fred Swanekamp, sports reporter famous for his exciting play-by-play descriptionsof chess games, told how Warren Ranken and Mike Schatz broke three records in theirlatest pro football contest.
At the conclusion of the remaining speeches and entertainment, Senator Weberannounced that the rest of the evening would be devoted to social dancing. WhileJeanne Geiselman and Walter Werme, both of the Metropolitan Opera Company, played"Turkey in the Straw" on the piano and violin respectively, Hank Blauvelt, of theBlauvelt Elevated Shoe Concern, and Barbara Davis, ballet dancer, led the guests in asquare dance. The evening progressed with gayety and laughter until finally the softstrains of "Auld Lang Syne" drifted through the slowly emptying room.
With the music ringing in my ears, I bid you all a fond farewell and invite youto be in on the next class reunion which will be held in the dressing room of the"Kcppcl Follies."

War has had its effect on our school this year, limiting our traditional activitiesand adding new and more serious extracurncula to our already busy senior days.Our boys have joined the State Guard and enlisted in the Civil Air Patrol Cadets;they have delivered coal and, in many other ways, helped to meet the crisis broughtabout by the manpower shortage. Our girls have rolled bandages, acted as hospitalaides, worked in the canteen and clerked in local stores. We have all bought stampsand bonds, creating for our school an outstanding record.
Tortunately, the things that have always meant C.H.S. have not been seriouslychanged. We had our senior play, our athletic schedule, our fine assembly pro-grams. The Mask and Bauble entertained on many occasions presenting such one-act plays as "The Juke Family," and collaborating with Entre Nous on the tradi-tional Christmas Assembly. Our music organizations have enlivened our assemblies,have generated school spirit at ball games, and have given cheerful send-offs toour boys going into service. Most of the other clubs have been able to continuewith their usual activities.
All in all, it has been a good year, with the war serving rather to build upour characters than to spoil our fun.

FOOTBALL
The team started off the season by electing for its co-captainsa Mutt and Jeff combination, namely, big Rocco Annese andlittle Ed Beadle. With ten lettermen back, the team tied EastOrange in its first contest, making the rest of the season lookpromising. This optimism was shori-lived, however, as the boysran into a series of tough breaks, dropping five straight. To makethings worse, the team lost the services of Hank Blauvelt, end,with a leg injury. The Blue and Gold then came to life bybc.uing Koselle 34-0. The game was highlighted by a 91-yardrun by Ed Beadle. The following game with Lakewood costCr.inford the services of Bob Meyer and injured Buss Duffield andJim Rudd.
On Thanksgiving Day Cranford held the best Jefferson teamin many years to a 7-7 tie. Cranford's important tally came as.i result of Sonny Farr's picking up a loose ball and running fora touchdown. Cranford's scoring for this year was led byWarren Rankin who rolled up 24 points.

Taking on a rigid 17-game schedule, the Cranfordites came up with the most im-pressive record in many seasons, winning 13 out of 17 games. The quintet receivedmuch honor in being ceded third place in the Union County Tournament and placingas runner-up for the "Big Five" conference.
Particularly outstanding in this year's season were DunSeld and Beadle whose bril-liant underbasket work sparked the team to many victories.
Although the team will lose Oram, Beadle, Chincry, Blauvelt, Annese, and Rankinin the coming graduation, the prospects for next year remain good as we will still retainfive Iettermcn.

TRACKEarl)p in the spring of 1943, boys could be observed trotting leisurely out through
the fields back of the school. They were wearing the faded blue running suits of thetrack team. In mud up to their ankles, they ran out to the traffic circle and back toschool. This was the beginning of thel943 track season. As time progressed, the polevaulting standards went up, the high jump pit was spaded, and soon the plop-plop ofdiscus and shot hitting the earth was heard.
Coached by J. Seth Wcckley, the boys met a number of teams, losing only to Plain-field and powerful Thomas Jefferson. The team placed second in both the county andstate meets.
Stellar performances were turned in by Mike Schatz and Ed Beadle in the shortdistances. Dick Kiesling's prowess with discus and javelin, and Steve Warshany's con-sistent high powered half mile were deciding factors in the success.
The prospects for this 1944 season are exceptionally fine, with many lettcrmenreturning. Annese, Blauvclt, Beadle, Schatz and Gilbert, are all assets not to be disre-garded when a forecast is made.
CROSS COUNTRYThe Cross Country team consisted of a handful of enthusiastic fellows who did
their best against some of the stiffest teams in the county. They competed in dual meetswith Rahway, Regional, and Thomas Jefferson, and also in the county and state tourna-ments.
Although the team did not win any meets, Captain Bob Gilbert took first placein the Regional and Jefferson meets and seventh place in the county, while other mem-bers placed prominently. / '.' ,

HOCKEYThis 1944 hockey team skated away with the highest honors ever to be achieved
by any hockey ream representing the Cranford High School. The record of points scoredby the 1944 squad was 57 to IS of our opponents. A team of three seniors, ten juniorsand one sophomore was developed around a nucleus of three players who had had inter-scholastic experience. The boys did not have the advantage of regular coaching sinceMr. Coffee was not available for this purpose. However, his interest in the team con-tinued and he was able to referee several matches and to accompany the team on itsWest Point trip. This proved to be the best game of the season. Cranford had too muchfor the West Point plebes and defeated them three to one.
Wallace Chapman, co-captain of the team, was unable to participate in many ofthe matches since he was called into the armed forces.
The scoring honors for the season went to Bradley with 10, Prescott, 10; Finical, 8;F.vans, 8; and Meyer, 8.
Coach, J. Walter Coffee; manager, Robert Clement; co-captains, Charles Crounseand Wallace Chapman; Icttermcn: R. Best, J. Bradley, W. Chapman, C. Crounse, J.Evans, I. Finical, B. Herman, M. Kempshall, R. Mcrrick, R. Meyer, C. Prescott, R. Tudor,H. Vogcl, and G. Walsh.
