Foreword
Once again a high school generation
has reached its majority and passes on
into the world to make room for another generation.
Ours have been the
usual growing pains. We hope that our
travail will not prove to have been fruitless, and that we shall uphold the traditions of the school in the life outside.

Beneath the flag of Blue and Gold.
Our friendships made are firm and true
We're one for all, and all for you—
The time is come to say "adieu."
Austin F. Dohrman, '36.

Class History
Little did we realize four years ago that we would have the questionable distinction, due to the construction of the new building, to be the last group to graduate from
the original dear old Cleveland High School.
As we were an extra smart freshman class, it did not take us long to adapt ourselves to our new surroundings. Before the year was over we had gone so far as to
elect Frank "Cy" Dadd as president; Arthur Brown, vice-president; Betty Albury,
secretary; and Frank Sprole as treasurer, to take office when we should come back
in the fall.
With these capable officers in charge we commenced by choosing Crimson and
Gold as class colors, Autumn Leaves as our bit of vegetation, and the inspiring motto,
Possumus quia posse videmur. Any question as to the source of funds was soon
answered by the unforgetable Hill Billy Dances.
In our Junior year we let Louis Demmerle wield the gavel, and we gave Bill Cordner
the job as his understudy. Ethel Stimpson kept the minutes, and Bob Nagle spent his
time chasing people for their dues.
Upon the resignation of Louis Demmerle in the middle of the year, we gave
Bill Cordner his position. Evidence of our fine leadership can be seen in the fact that
we were the first Junior Class to put on a performance of the calibre of the Senior
Play.
Although the Junior debating team held the best debator of the evening, a fine
showing by the Seniors gave them the decision. The Junior Subscription Dance and
the Junior-Senior Prom were social successes, and for the first time in years the former
was a financial triumph as well.
When we arrived at the zenith of a fine career, and when we became lords and
masters of the school, Bill Cordner was again given the presidency with Jonathan
Miller as his assistant. Helen Dey was our able secretary and Alfred Meyer did an
efficient job as class treasurer.
The play, "Mary The Third," by Rachel Crothers, was an outstanding performance.
The Senior Debating Team, lured on by a five dollar goal and the will to win, beat its
rivals in a warmly contested debate. For this feat we were given a cup to stand on
a shelf for the rest of the year.
At the request of a good many girls, and also quite a few boys, we seized the
opportunity to put across a Leap Year Dance in fine style. It turned out to be another
of the financial successes that the class has grown accustomed to in the past four
years.

Class Prophecy
"April I, 1950:
—What a day! Been going every minute. Operated on Jack Fleuren at 8:00
A. M. for stomach ulcers. He has been living too high since he gained ownership of
that African gold mine. It was a ticklish piece of work. Don't know what I'd do without Miss Anamartha Conley. His weakened constitution would never have stood up
under any other anaesthetic but Harvey Seavy's, recently worked out in his chemical
laboratory. As I was leaving the operating room, I ran into "Little Willy" Dorn. He
spends as much time in the hospital as I do. He's testing Bruce Russell's new planes
and Schubel's racing cars. "Man with a thousand lives," they call him. This last time
he broke his arm and dislocated his shoulder. It required mighty skillful surgery to
remove the bone splinter from his brain. "Moe" Meyer, his manager, must get
plenty for risking Dorn's neck. He sports Albert Lipschitz' best clothes, and Jonathan
Miller's (formerly Tiffany's) luxurious diamonds. I've noticed that visitors seem mor>;
at ease since the hospital installed Eddie Markowich's new sound absorbing air conditioning system.
I left the hospital and drove to Columbia in my new car, designed by Floyd
Rue. Arthur Brown, dean of men, invited me over to talk to the "med" students in
the new science building donated so generously by Howard Stanley head of J. P.
Morgan & Co. Henry Rominger, prominent architect, did a fine job designing it.
I'm glad my speech is over. I've been saying it in my sleep. Took the dog over to
Mildred Talbot, veterinarian. She's got a real cure for distemper. Couldn't go home
for lunch. My whole flat is being done over by Chloe Weeks, outstanding interior
decorator. I ate at the Club instead. The meals have been very good since Joe Tineo
got the chef's job. After eating, went to the lounge to read the paper and listen
to Herbert Sjursen's new improved radio. Had to turn off Fred Jones' sport talk to get
Lloyd Howard's band with its new type of music. First chance I had to read about
the assassination of President Sam Anderson by Raymond Maxfield, leader of radical-;.
It's the first assination to be successful in many years. Anderson was a pretty good
man, but he wanted too much power. Roy Irving, the country's leading scout executive, is about to embark on the first arctic expedition in which the crew is composed
entirely of Boy Scouts. In the business section I found that David Damon had finally
formed a combine of Borden, Sheffield and Alderney. The newspapers of today are
certainly improved by the wonderful drawings of Ethel Simpson in the commercial art
field. They've finally chosen Bill Cordner's powerful Notre Dame team for the Rose
Bowl. They'll meet Kenny Griffith's speedy Stanford team. Martin (Bone crusher)
Klein will wrestle tonight for the championship. My money is on him after his past
record. Winnie Miller's society column says that Helen Dey is about to marry into
society.
I was about to take a nap when Bill Birkmire breezed in and tried to sell me some
insurance. I resisted him on the policy, but he persuaded me to go with him to Robert
lannell's new popular night club. Said it would do me good. He sure can talk, but
that's because he sells insurance. The cigar he gave me was made by Julius Tangel,
the tobacco king, at his best. After he left, I listened to a concert by the Columbia
musical organization . The program was directed by Betty Atbury, first woman to be
director of music in a big university. Alice Bartholemew was solo organist. I got
started on Roger Norton's latest novel in the new, more easily readable form as printed
Page Thirty-nine
by Alan Okell's publishing house. Spent the rest of the afternoon in the clinics. Jack
Faunce, noted financier, has donated so much money to them that they're finally as
they should be—fully equipped in every detail.
I was mighty tired, but felt rested after sleeping an hour on Bob Ackland's new
type bed. Leave it to Ackland to think up better ways of sleeping. Met Birkmire
and we drove over to lannell's. Felt better as soon as I stepped in. A nice place—
makes you feel buoyant and wide-awake. We had a wonderful meal and were surprised to learn that Cy Dadd was head cook. Bernie Schirmer is head waiter. They
don't need a bouncer with him on the job. One look at his size and the tough boys
behave. The entertainment was excellent. They had a dance team with fancy names,
but I recognized them as Joe Matteson and Sadie Mae Percival, the best on Broadway. They had a chorus in beautiful costumes designed by Marguerite Spilsbury. The
star of the evening was Dolores Morgan, quite slim, who is a torch singer and dancer.
Got home quite late but Bill was right . It did me good. First time I've been out
in years. Ho, hum and so to bed!"—Excerpt from Franklin Burke's autobiography
entitled "The Successful Surgeon."

SENIOR CLASS
The class of '36 has been engaged in numerous successful activities and can rightfully boast of being the best class to graduate and, incidently, the last group to set
out from Cleveland High. The senior girls gave a Leap Year Dance which went off
well both socially and financially. This event was one which will not soon be forgotten.
The seniors took the cup as a result of the annual Junior-Senior Debate. The crowning
success of the year was the Senior Play "Mary The Third" which was very well received
by a full house both nights. Now, the largest, best, and last class, we graduate from
Cleveland High School. All these things would have been impossible had it not been
for our sponsor, Mr. Loveland, who has guided and helped us so wisely with his tireless efforts.

Senior Play

HE Annual production of the Senior Class was presented on the evenings of February 21 and 22. The play, a very modern three-act comedy, "MARY THE THIRD,"
written by Rachael Crothers, was well received by most appreciative audiences. It's
success was lately due to the very capable direction of Miss Alice Ma thews, an
unusually talented cast and tireless crews.

MiNington. Some of the council, under the supervision of Miss Abrams, aided in the
P. T. A. welfare work. The activities of the council have been somewhat curtailed
due to financial conditions and the double platoon system in the school.

DEBATING TEAM
"Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation providing for a system
of complete medical service, available to all citizens at public expense," the debate
topic for 1935-36,, proved to be capitally informatory to the members of the Cranford High School debating team as well as their extensive audiences. The initial
debate between the Juniors and Seniors, won by the latter 2-1, prefaced a series of
tour with other high school teams of rank. The P. T. A. cup and $5.00 prize, emblematic of inter-class rivalry, was retained therefore by the uppermost classmen. Austin
Roberts, second speaker for the Juniors, received the Stanger medal for excellence in
debating. Scotch Plains High School, Dover, Bound Brook and North Plainfield
engaged Cranford in the aforementioned order. Each conflict revealed adroit reasoning and vigorous persuasion by affirmative and negative alike. These debates were
non-decision except for the final which went to North Pla infield by a close margin,
122 to I !9'/2- the points being determined by a single critic judge.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUBS
Due to its popularity and to the irregular school hours the Photography Club was
divided into two sections this year—a Junior and a Senior group.
The aim of both clubs was to learn to enjoy photography and to make more
satisfactory use of simple equipment. The meetings were devoted to the study of
the camera itself, the composition of pictures, and the finishing of them. Many
pictures were brought in for criticism, and there were guest speakers from various
fields of photography.
Special projects have included the starting of a pictorial school history which the
club hopes will prove interesting for many years. The new high school with a real
dark room promises great things for future photography clubs.

SENIOR MATH CLUB
MR. QUAINTANCE
S;: onsor
The Senior Math Club was organized "for those who are interested tn studying
mathematics not included in the school curricula. Mr. Quaintance, the sponsor, feels
that the topics studied will be of real value in college. There are no officers, as the
members prefer to spend the entire meeting discussing mathematics. So far this year,
different individuals have studied, separately, various topics and then explained them
to the club.
Next year the club hopes to be even more interesting to Its members because the
topics to be discussed include permutations, combinations, probability, and related
matters.

Freshmen and Sophomores who were already interested in mathematics found
this an excellent group in which to study topics not included in regular classes. Some
became skilled in the use of the slide rule, and others specialized in surveying and made
model instruments. All the members enjoyed puzzles and a brief introduction to higher
mathematics through the study of logarithms, permutations, and progressions. Contests, book reports, and field work combined to make the meetings very interesting.

Again, the Athletic Association's chief difficulty was finding the means of raising
money with which to run the teams. Season tickets were sold, and the association
sponsored several basketball games between the Faculty and Seniors for the benefit
of spring sports. The football season was very successful both from the financial and
competitive points of view. As a result the Athletic Association was able to clear off
the debt on the oval fence and, for the first time, was almost able to make sports
self-supporting.

Girls' Athletics
The Girls' Activity program, in connection with the physical training classes, is intramural. Its aims are to get as many girls as possible to enter into the sport, or sports,
each likes best so that she can become accomplished therein and be able to use them
in later life; and, further, to find a sport that suits the desires, needs, and abilities of
the girl. Therefore, the program provides for a great number of individual activities,
as well as team games.
The snapshots on the opposite page represent the outstanding girls in various
sports.
During the past school year, basketball proved to be the most popular, with one
hundred and eighty-one girls participating. Betty Sterrett's senior team won the
tournament.
Next in popularity came hockey with one hundred and eleven girls taking part.
Again Betty Sterrett, captain, lead her team to victory.
Golf was introduced for the first time and proved to be a leading activity with
an enrollment of ninety-five.
Fencing, another new recreation, interested seventy-four girls; bowling and pingpong at the Casino brought out fifty-nine.
Swimming was conducted for forty-nine girls at the ' " / " Pool in Westfield.
Tennis was divided into forty-three beginners and twenty-two advance players,
and riding ended the list with only seventeen enrolled.
Track and baseball, as yet, are incomplete.

BASKETBALL
Bang! The gun went off and the curtain had closed on the final game of a
successful court season. After striving valiantly for the past years, a Cranford High
School basketball squad had waded through all opposition in the state tournament to
emerge champions of New Jersey! Blue and Gold fans went wild when Cranford staved
off a late rally to beat Merchantville in the final, 36—33.
The final has always been a jinx for Cranford. Last year the locals upset all
dope by taking in stride the highly-touted High Bridge five, Caldwell, conquerer of
Madison, a top-heavy favorite, and Merchentville. Then, at this point, the team play
bogged considerably and a steady Bogota quintet nosed them out, 28—24.
The final this year started out like a replica. Merchantville got off to a fast
start to run up a 12—4 lead and then matched all Cranford points to maintain a
20—14 advantage at half time. Evidently the intermission aided the Blue and Gold
five materially, for the second half witnessed a complete reversal of form. Deliberately
they worked, slow and decisive. The lead shortened. Finally there was none. Then
Cranford, true champion that it was, drew ahead and stayed there till the final gun
went off.
Captain Vinnie Lusardi led the team's individual scoring with 177 points. Bernie
Schirmer, towering pivot-man, was second with 159 tallies, and also scored the most
points in one fray, 19, against South Amboy.
Seventy-four
Coach Weekley's proteges played listless ball in the season's opener, losing to
Rahway, 34—20. A 21 —17 victory over Linden started a five-game streak, Perth
Amboy bowing, 37—36; Bound Brook, 34—20; Hillside, 36—16; and Millburn, 38—12.
At that point Cranford slumped into an erratic streak and only a whirlwind finish
enabled them to gain a tournament birth.
The local's style in the tournament was a delight. Playing a team which had
nosed them out during a season's scheduled contest, they successfully survived the
first round by whipping Chatham, 43—32. The game's feature was Charley Wingardner's valiant attempt to keep Chatham from losing by rolling up a grand total of
22 points. Practically single-handed he kept his team from losing by forcing it into
an overtime period, but Cranford applied pressure then to triumph.
A tournament "natural" was staged in the sectional final when the Blue and Gold
defeated Bernardsville, 30—25. Bernardsville had nosed out the Cranfordites in the
sectional gridiron ratings and Cranford was out for revenge. The score indicates
satisfaction.
The champions encountered their easiest competition In the state semi-final
when they buried South Amboy under an avalanche of baskets, 41—25. Bernie
Schirmer was evidently on that night when he tapped up a grand total of 19 points.
The winners got off to a fast start and bucketed four baskets before the outclassed
Amboyans broke into the scoring column. Cranford never relinquished its enormous
margin.
The team as a whole ran up 689 points. The $10.00 prize for the highest percentage of converted fouls fell to Bernie Schirmer. This incentive created a marked
improvement in the locals' caging of those important shots, 145 of them going through
the hoop.
Scintillating play gained berths for Cranford players on various mythical all-state
teams, Lusardi and Schirmer especially.
It was a great joy to see Cranford come away at last with titular honors. In '32
Cranford won the sectional cup only to fade out of the picture in the state semi-finals.
Then in '33 they went all the way to the finals only to drop by the wayside. A powerful Madison quintet eliminated them in '34 in the first round, and in '35 Bogota
whipped them. The jinx was broken forever, we hope, this year.

FOOTBALL
The Cranford Hiqh School gridiron squad will go down in the annals of the school
as one cf the greatest ever to wear the Blue and Gold. Only one defeat, a 7-0 setback by Glen Ridge mars an otherwise perfect record. For ten consecutive Saturdays
the varsity combine battled for their dear old alma mater and for ten consecutive
Saturdays the fighting warriors covered themselves with glory.
The season's schedule was inaugurated when Cranford played hosts to the favored
East Orange eleven. The locals chalked up their first win when Griffiths uncorked a
long aerial to Captain Cordner and the latter went over the line for a touchdown. It
was the game's only score and Cranford won, 6-0.
Led by Nordstrom, the plunging, full-back, Coach Weekley's charges defeated a
scrappy Dover team, 12-7. Nordstrom scored both touchdowns on charging line
plunges. Warm weather hampered both teams and the Cranfordites at times showed
flashes of potential strength.
For its third opponent Cranfort faced a touted Roselle squad, led by Barney Eig,
220-lb back. Eig was not enough to stop the huge man power of the Weekleyites, and
they romped to a 19-6 victory. The game was featured by a 75-yard touchdown
dash on the part of Klein of Cranford after he had intercepted a Roselle pass.
Clicking with precision, power, and speed, Cranford overwhelmed Roselle Park
the next week, 20-0. Everything seemed to go right as the Blue and Gold marched
up and down the field. Here Cranford fans got their first real sight of the fine team
Cranford proved to be.
Continuing its show of man-power and scoring ability, Cranford swamped Rahway,
Page Seventy-six
32-2. Close to 30 played for Cranford, but no matter how much Coach Weekley
substituted, Cranford marched down-field. Rah way was badly outclassed and was
never in the running. This marked the 7th consecutive game Cranford High School
teams had won, counting the last two victories of the previous season.
According to experts, Cranford's first loss loomed on the horizon when East
Rutherford came to town, but the hard-charging Blue and Gold line repulsed all
attacks, while the East Rutherford line, although of fine defensive calibre, was unable
to subdue all Cranford onsets and the locals triumphed, 14-0.
Before a capacity crowd the next week Cranford played Hillside, the only team
to hand them a defeat last year, and that a 7-6 setback.
Paced by Cy Dadd, who
scored 4 touchdowns, Cranford utterly avenged themselves to the tune of 34-0, the
team trampled and pillaged the Hillside defense and crushed all Hillside advances.
It was a satisfying revenge.
An underrated Carteret eleven played way over their heads to put up a stiff
battle before succumbing, 14-0. Putting up a surprising aerial attack the Middlesex
County lads advanced far into Cranford territory as soon as the game began, but
the locals recovered themselves, and struggling valiantly, finally won.
In the next to the last game Cranford travelled to Millburn and the latter played
perfect host, bowing to the guest, 25-6. A stiff wind held Cranford back momentarily
but they cashed in when they had it in their favor. Playing under bad weather conditions both teams covered themselves with glory, but the victor's superiority was
apparent.
With a championship in sight and an undefeated record near,, Cranford, worn
out after the toughest schedule in the state, dropped its last game, 7-0. Refreshed
with a two weeks' rest the Glen Ridge team scored early and resisted the weary,
valiant efforts of the Cranford offense. Indeed, Murphy of Glen Ridge was an outstanding back but Cranford in its prime would have rumpled all the Ridgers and
won. They didn't however and the record stands at 9 won and I lost. This is the
amazing percentage of .900.
The loss snapped an I I game winning streak of Cranford elevens. During this
streak the Blue and Gold steam-roller scored 226 points or about 22 per game while
the opponents tallied 33 markers or exactly 3 per tilt.
The Blue and Gold squad finished their season with the highest rating in the
Dickinson system which is used, but the committee of the state decided the Glen
Ridge setback was too much and Bernardsville was awarded the honor of the State
Championship.
We Seniors salute a truly great team and coaches.
To the returning veterans we say as Captain Cordner said at the banquet:
"To have a successful season, no matter how many games you lose, go out and
beat Glen Ridge!"

HOCKEY
This year, 33am, Cranford has put a successful hoclcey team on the ice. Coach
Quaintance's charges five times eme^ed victors and only twice did they bow to competitors. Three shutouts were chalked up a3ainst opposition and only once did Cranford fail to penetrate their opponents' net. Twelve skaters received letters for their
efforts. Bob AcUand was captain of the squad.

TRACK
In spite of a discouraging lack of space and facilities, the aspirants for future
track honors number as many as ever this year. Realizing that latent talent lies dormant if not encouraged, Mr. Weekly always strives for as many track candidates as
possible. Although Cranford's loss from graduation was unusually heavy, enough of the
veterans remain to form a neucleus.
In the running events, Howard Stanley, Joe Matteson, John Shaw, Lemuel Dix,
Leonard Osterheldt, Jonathan Miller, Joe Tineo, and others will carry the flag for
C. H. S.
Among the tried and true in the field events are Wilfred Dorn, Vincent Lusardi,
Howard Stanley, Martin Klein, Bill Cordner, Bernard Schirmer.
The Gold and Blue launches a campaign this season against exceptionally stiff
competition. All our opponents are determined to beat Cranford, but Cranford is
just as determined to show them that it can't be conquered.

TENNIS
The net team, composed mainly of underclassmen, once again has completed a
delightful season. Aided by some fine weather, the squad put in some early practice
and wound into form in fine style. The team gave shining performance in many

Once again Coach J. Walter Coffee issued a call for diamond candidates, and

Only five lettermen answered the call, Cy Dodd, veteran backstop, Bob Anderson

star infielder, Kenny Griffiths. However a strong second team from last year plugged
the remaining gaps and the Blue and Gold swept through a successful season.
