Not Quite a Hundred Years, But
Acknowledgments ................

The Eighteen
Eighties
The Civil War has ended, the South
was being reconstructed, and people
thought that things would f inally settle
down. They looked forward to reading
new mazagines and newspapers as well
as listening to Mr. Edison’s new invention,
the phonograph. Women were increasingly
conscious of all the new
fashions and dressed to look their
best.
It was the immigrants, lower class
mine workers, and farmers who really
had to face grim reality and learn how
to survive. The immigrants especially,
traveling across the ocean to a nation
of strange tongue and strange customs,
were not usually welcomed by
Americans. Only the factory owners
accepted them, for the immigrants
worked hard for little pay.
The lower class mine workers lived
with the devastating knowledge that
they would live and probably die in the
dark, deep bowels of the earth. Their
children learned at an early age that
they, too, would spend the rest of their
lives in the mines. These workers were
not yet revolting, but they realized the
need for some sort of labor union.
The farmers attained unity much
more rapidly. They began to resist by
forming "Granges.” At Grange meetings
they discussed how to get higher
prices for their crops while lowering
the present mortgage rates. Thus they
sought to arise from the rut of poverty
in which they had lived throughout
their lives. Their struggle, along with
the struggle of others, led the nation
into the final decade of their century.
In the early 1880's Miss Julia Scribner was asked by one of her
nieghbors to teach their delicate child, which Miss Scribner did
in her mother’s home. Shortly thereafter other families wished
that their daughters also be taught by Miss Scribner rather than
in the existing school systems. Neither the Scribner home nor
Miss Scribner alone would be adequate for the task ahead* therefore,
the aid of Miss Adeline P. Newton was sought.
On Friday, July II, 1884, the first mention of the new school
appeared in The Constitutionalist, a weekly Plainfield newspaper.
"The Miss Scribner & Newton's
School
for young ladies, and little girls
will open about the middle of September, 1884. The English
branches are taught with thoroughness. Instruction is also given
in Latin, German, Drawing and elocution. A competent instructor
is engaged for the French language. The announcement of place
will be made hereafter. For particulars, Address M iss Scribner,
post-office box 98."
The Misses Scribner & Newton's School for young ladies and
little girls opened its doors on Wednesday, September 17, 1884.
The Constitutionalist did not mention where the school was
located} however the 1884-1885 City Directory listed the school
at 21 E. Fifth St.
In 1885 the school’s advertisement shows that the school will

need for dress reform, can breathe a sigh of satisfaction, if
she can breathe at all. in knowing that her waistline is
thereby reduced as much as fifteen inches.
Everyone from "big wheels” to the common man enjoyed this
healthful form of recreation. The roster of enthusiasts even
included President Rutherford B. Hayes’s children, two of
whom, in the 1883 photograph above, are about to commence a
tricycle trip on the secluded family estate in Fremont, Ohio.
The melting pot' meant that cultural differences were boiled down to produce
uniform American products. It was an ideal that applied equally to everyone though
of course the transformation would be more radical in some cases than in others. A
Navajo Indian, for instance, could be turned — it was hoped — from a barbarian
warrior to a sober industrious citizen, by three years, training at an Indian School.

The Eighteen
Nineties
The onset of a depression brought
about more revolts in which people demanded
better working conditions,
fewer working hours per day, and better
wages. Some people became violent
in both their resistance and their execution
of discipline, while others remained
purely civil protesters.
The farmers created alliances to
take the place of the Granges. They
discussed tactics for obtaining better
equipment and more governmental
aid. As a group, they managed to acquire
the new equipment which modernized
their work, but government
aid remained a controversial issue into
the next century.
Towards the end of the decade, as
the nation prepared to turn the century,
the American people in general
became more optimistic. President
McKinley initiated the concept of expansionism,
and the United States began
to explore beyond the North
American continent. With a new outlook
for a new century, the people also
became more social. They enjoyed entertainments
as a release from their
temporarily forgotten domestic problems,
thus causing this decade to be
later known as the "gay Nineties.”
(continued from page 4)
re-open at 21 East Fifth Street (not Watchung Avenue). The 1886-
1887 Directory of the City of Plainfield and North Plainfield listed
the school at the same location.
John Leal was born in 1849 at E. Meredith, N.Y. His grandfather
had immigrated to this country from Scotland and later observers
pointed to that Scottish heritage in the educator.
Leal graduated from Yale University in 1874, and devoted his
entire working life to educating boys.
It was while teaching at The Pingry School in Elizabeth that
Leal conceived the idea of founding his own school in Plainfield,
believing the 25 Plainfield boys who traveled to Pingry should
have a school of their own.
That school, properly called 'Mr. Leal’s School,” opened in
September, 1882, at 333 East Front St., near Sandford Avenue.
There were 50 boys enrolled.
At the time, the population of Plainfield was 8,500 and the city
was a rich community, often termed ” a Wall Street suburb” with
perhaps as many as 100 millionaires in residence.
Plainfield also had a rich tradition of education. The Plainfield
School society had opened The Academy in 1811.
The first brochure for Mr. Leal's School noted that the institution
was founded "to thoroughly prepare boys for College or
Business.”
According to an early handbook, Leal, the Principal, "is persuaded
that boys can be fitted for and entered into any of our
Colleges without conditions.”
In the first three years, five le a l graduates went on to higher
education, two to Yale, two to Columbia and one to Princeton,
another seven obtained "certificates of parital admission” — six
to Yale, one to Columbia.
The first graduates received their diplomas in June, 1883. They
were Louis K. Hyde and Howard C. Tracy. Hyde went on to be
president of the City National Bank from 1906 to 1926 and the
Plainfield Savings Bank from 1916 to 1945. The Hydewood section
of North Plainfield — which he developed — carries his name.
Tracy was a prominant attorney locally.
Within two years of founding, the Leal School boasted seven
teachers and 61 boys. As well as being principal. Leal taught
classics and English. He also took boarding pupils into his home.
Eugene H. Hatch, a Harvard graduate, also taught English and
classics, Charles B. Willcox of Yale took science and mathematics.
Karl Meyer — German, P. Alphono Perring — French, A.B.
Dodge — penmanship, and Miss E.M. Martin — drawing.
In addition to their academic work, "boys should be taught
while yet in school how they may intelligently perform the duties
which will come to them as citizens.” Leal wrote. "To this end,
instruction in Civil Government will be given to older pupils.”
The school year began at about the same time as it does for
contemporary Wardlaw-Hartridge students, in mid-September.
But it ran until mid-June, 40 weeks in all, with one week free at
Christmas and another at Easter.
Tuition was $100 per year. German, French and drawing were
$40 extra.
Early students were drawn from Plainfield, Netherwood,
Evona, Elizabeth, Bound Brook. Scotch Plains, Westfield and New
York City. There were also pupils from Dunellen, High Bridge,
Raritan, Finderne, Bergen Point, Roselle, East Orange and Somerville.
One boy journeyed from Las Palmas in the Canary Islands,
another Havanna, Cuba.
The course of study covered six years of geography and
history, English, mathematics, Latin, Greek, modern languages,
science, and such "special studies” as bookkeeping and civil
government.
The teaching was obviously successful, for when he was asked
what school sent the best prepared graduates on to college, the
president of Yale University cited Leal's.
By 1886, Leal needed more space for his school and chose a
building at 433 West Front St., coincidentally the property where
The Academy had been erected in 1811.
It was also a location, at Front and New Street, on the trolley
line from Netherwood, Dunellen and the railroad station.
In the beginning, Leal took boys at age 10.
The following year’s directory shows that the Scribner 6
Newton private school, was located on La Grande Avenue.
For any number of reasons The Miss Scribner &Miss Newton’s
School was not advertised in The Constitutionalist
until September II, 1890.
On that date the advertisement for the school was as
follows:
Miss Scribner & Miss Newton's
School for girls and Young Ladies

corner of Washington St.
Will reopen Wednesday,
September 17, 1890.
The regular course will include
Modeling, Drawing and Sewing
The school’s advertisement continued to run in the paper
until May 26, 1892. In the 1893-1894 city directory the school
was at 303 La Grande Ave. (La Grande Avenue is now East
Seventh Street and Washington Street is now Roosevelt
Ave).
On September 15, 1897, Miss Newton married Mr. John M.
Whiton, a widower with two daughters prominent in Plainfield
society. The new Mrs. Whiton left the school to live on
Central Avenue. As a married woman Adeline Whiton travelled
with her husband and taught Sunday School in the First
Congregational Church.
For the year 1898-99 Miss Louise K. Green took over as the
co-principal with Miss Scribner. Miss Scribner and Miss
Green's School admitted boys to the kindergarten and Primary
Department. The Intermediate and academic depart-

Popular politics in action: in 1890 a new party, the Populists, came into power in the Midwest,
calling for economic reforms and the introduction of a currency based on silver rather than gold.
After a disputed election in Kansas in 1893 the Populists barricaded themselves in the state house,
to be driven out by armed Republicans (above) who eventually won the day. (19)

The Nineteen
Hundreds
At the turn of the century, life did
not change much from what it had
been. There was obvious male dominance,
as only men had the rights and
votes, so women started an equal
rights movement that peaked in the
next decade. Ordinary people, like the
Vanderbilt family and the Rockefellers,
were able to build up their fortunes.
Without as much governmental restriction,
American men from both rural
and urban lifestyles sought their
fortunes, and many found them.
Citizens from other countries, hearing
of fortunes to be made, emigrated
to America. During the early I900’s,
over nine million people came to America.
As the migrant workers arrived,
the urban population shot up, and living
conditions became worse. The government
had to step in again to stop
the emerging American cities from
smothering themselves.
The turn of the century also was a
time of discoveries. Robert Peary became
the first man to see the North
Pole, while Orville and Wilbur Wright
learned to fly. Meanwhile, the Packard
car became a true luxury. With all that
the American people did, it was President
Theodore Roosevelt who helped
the nation turn the century and learn
to manage to survive into the future.

After buying the good will of the Leal School
in 1916, Charles Digby Wardlaw established
the school at 1038 Park Ave., the site shown
above. After 1938 this building housed the
Wardlaw Nursery School.

ments were exclusively for young ladies. Those who completed
the college preparatory course were admitted to
Wellesley College without further examination upon receiving
the certificate of the school.
Miss Scribner and Miss Green, principals of the Young
Ladies' Seminary on LaGrande Avenue, announced that they
would not continue their school after June graduation.
The well-known finishing school had been in existance for
fifteen years under the management of Miss Scribner and
Miss Newton, and had been patronized by many of the best
families in Plainfield.
Military drill was added to the curriculum in the spring of
1891 and leal wrote, "The Principal desires to bring to the
special notice of all patrons of the School the opportunity
offered to their sons of gaining a better physical development
through military drill . Instruction and rifles were
furnished by the Principal, and it is his deliberate opinion
that no better form of exercise can be found for the boys of
| the school."
The school had no gymnasium, although the boys sometimes
made use of the YMCA, which was then at the corner
of Front Street and Watchung Avenue.
By 1895, the majority of leal graduates were going to
Harvard, Yale and Princeton, with others spread among
Cornell. Boston Technology, Lehigh. McGill, Trinity, Williams,
Columbia and Stevens Institute of Technology.
An addition, opened in 1896 allowed Leal to offer a junior
department for boys eight and older >the main school took
boys at 13. That junior school was designed to satisfy Leal
graduates whose sons were now ready to be properly educated.
Leal pointed to the importance of a good grounding at a
younger age. "Habits of study are then formed and foundations
laid which made preparation for College more easy
and success more certain, or, on the other than, make any

The drugstore with soda fountain was a purely
American creation, a combination of pharmacy
and quick, informal eatery. Above: the

Island, in 1900. This period also saw the invention
of the Automat, a self-service restaurant
with coin-in-the-slot machines. The drugstore
itself diversified yet further to make a
whole range of goods available under one
roof, until the modern drugstore is hardly
distinguishable from a supermarket.

large measure of success almost impossible.”
In 1912 the junior department moved to West 7th Street,
leaving the upper school far quieter at recess.
Public speaking was emphasized at all levels.
Leal continually pointed to the small size of the classes,
adding "Unless there be some hopeless weakness on the
pupil’s part, he must progress swiftly and successfully."
Although college entrance was a major aim. "The broadest
education without nobility of character is a veneer and
sham-, in the contests of life only the worthy should win,”
Leal said.
Then, as now. school lunches were a problem. In 1898 Leal
said hot lunches were offered but then "suspended because
of the small number who were interested. The price was too
low to be remunerative."
In 1900 Leal added a course in mechanical drawing as "a
technical course not intended for college boys, nor for
those who may be interested in drawing merely as an accomplishment,
but for those who propose to make it a stepping-stone
to their life work.”
There was still no gymnasium at the school. Military drill
helped "gain grace and dignity of manner, erect carriage
and instant obedience to constituted authority." An athletic
association fielded teams in hockey, football and baseball.
For almost all of the early years, graduation ceremonies
took place at the school. In 1907, however, on the school's
25th anniversary, commencement was held at The Casino.
This was a special night, for an alumni association was
formed and graduates presented Mr. Leal with a purse containing
$500 in gold. The Yale Cup went to Otis Averill for
attaining the highest average in athletics and scholarship.
John Leal operated his School for Boys for 34 years. In
that time 1000 boys attended Leal’s and 350 went on to
institutions of higher learning, usually the best in the cou
try.
Major Miller, the owner of the school building, leased it to
Miss Caroline Fitz Randolph and Miss Grac Webster Cooley,
who continued the school in the fall, assisted by Miss Abby
Mellick in the primary department and a Miss Mechado in
the kindergarten.
Miss Randolph and Miss Cooley established a thoroughly
progressive school, aimed toward the full development of all
the powers of the child — physical and moral as well as
mental.
The course of study was graded and took the child from
kindergarten through preparation for college. For those not
interested in college, a course complete in itself was offered.
for which a diploma was given.
In the 1902 Randolph Cooley Collegiate Brochure 19 teachers
were listed for a student body of approximately 130. Of
this latter number, 45 to 50 were boys in the kindergarten
and Primary departments.
The Randolph Cooley School opened for its fall term Monday
evening. September 22. 1902. The number of pupils enrolled
was so large that in some grades the limit had been
reached, although new names were added. Miss Randolph
also announced to the parents and visitors thatadditional
faculty had been added.
Miss Randolph had the sympathy of her patrons when she
announced the withdrawal of Miss Cooley, whose cooperation
had been invaluable during the school’s early years.
On Tuesday, November II. 1902, Miss Grace Webster Cooley
was married to Captain Mason Matthews Patrick, a
member of the Engineer Corps of the United States Army,
with the accesories of a military weeding. It was performed
by Rev. James M. Taylor, president of Vassar College, where
the bride was graduated in 1894. The couple resided in
Washington, D.C.
In 1902. Miss Emelyn Battersby Hartridge, principal of the
Flartridge School in Savannah, Georgia, was at Johns Flopkins
Hospital "haveing.” as she put it, "typhoid fever."
While there, she heard about a small private school in Plainfield.
New Jersey, from a doctor who wanted her to buy it so
that he could marry the principal, Miss Caroline Fitz Randolph.
On Friday. June 5, 1903. The Randolph-Cooley Collegiate
School — under the leadership of Miss Carolyn Fitz Randolph
— was ended.
So many things go into the history of a school.
Helen Joy Rushmore, H.S. 09, recently told Reenie Fargo.
H.S. ’60. that in the 1900-1910 era the Hartridge student body
would be assembled in the morning, roll call taken, absences
noted, and then in would stride Miss Hartridge to get the
day started. Her opening words were:
"Good morning, girls.”
And. of course, the dutiful reply would be:
"Good morning, Miss Hartridge.”
Except that one small group of less than reverent upperclass
types found, to their considerable delight, that they
could return her greetings strongly and with great relish
without fear of being detected, by saying:
"Good Morning, Sausagel”
Phoebe MacBeth remembers the young teacher who took
the first grade to call on Miss Hartridge. The girls picked
flowers from the school garden to take to her. They never
did this again.
Adele DeLeeuw. H.S. ’18, writes of "a full-bodied woman
with heavy-lidded eyes that never missed a trick who
"often took charge of classes herself. She had the uncanny
ability of good teachers to be able to keep her head down,
writing letters, for instance, while she saw everything that
was going on — the girls surreptitiously getting chocolates
out of their desks, passing notes and redoing their hair."
"She had high standards of deportment and learning and
it was her pride that most of her girls went on to college and
did extremely well there. If you decided on Vassar — her
own alma mater — you were in the top echelon. She managed
to tolerate Smith. Bryn Mawr, Holyoke and Wellesley.”
Miss Emelyn Battersby Hartridge purchased the good-will
of the Randolph-Cooley Collegiate School, located at 303
East 7th Street. Plainfield, the corner of Roosevelt Avenue,
in 1903.
Within a year she had changed the name to The Hartridge
School and begun to expand from the nursery school
through freshman year in high school institution she acquired.
She also added a boarding division and rented 107 West
7th Street as a residence, then rented the Casino across the
street, a building perhaps most famous for the bowling alleys
in the basement. Later it became the Park Hotel Annex,
which burned November 25, 1974.
At first students at the Hartridge School were shocked at
being exposed to as "vulgar" a sport as bowling, but they
quickly came to enjoy this, along with fencing, croquet and
other activities.
There were four women in the first graduating class under
Miss Hartridge, three of whom graduated: Dorothy
Burke (Mrs. Henry P. Marshall), Winifred Rapalje (Mrs. Frederick
Martin Smith) and Grace Otteson (Mrs. Riley McConnell).
Verna McCutcheon (Mrs. Walter Logan) did not graduate.
Mrs. Marshall maintained a long-standing interest in the
school. Her great-nice was there while I was, and she pointed
out that Mrs. McConnell’s great nieces, Marcia and Cyn
thia VanBuren. were attending Hartridge when she replied
to a questionnaire in the late I960's.
Miss Hartridge operated a school for young women from
all over the United States, a school highly respected for its
standards. Its early report card provided room for marks in
Greek, Roman. Medieval. English and American history, geography,
rhetoric, grammar, reading, spelling, writing;
Greek. Latin, French or German; trigonometry, geometry,
algebra or arithmatic.”
There were also categories for behavior and neatness.
Miss Hartridge set high standards for herself and those
around her. Early boarding school regulations, for instance,
noted that there was to be "No boisterousness anywhere at
any time.”
These regulations concluded: "Our class of girls naturally
stand back on the stairs or in a doorway for older people and
have pretty table manners and are well-behaved at church."
This was not window-dressing, for graduates of the Hartridge
School went on as leaders. At one point the Courier-
News noted that the president of the students’ association
and the athletic association at Vassar were Hartridge
graduates, as were the president of the senior class, a head
of house, and a film star at Smith, the head of a hall at
Radcliffe, and the president of student government at Wilson.
"All 13 of Hartridge applicants for Vassar last year were
accepted without question,” the article said, going on to list
the young women who were awarded regional and national
scholarships at Vassar and Radcliffe "without examination.”
"Almost all” were doing distinguished work.
There were Shakespearean plays every other year — full
productions with professional coaching, professional makeup.
an orchestra from Newark, as well as Saturday night
dramatics for the boarding students every week when they
acted out the great literature that was read to them that
day.
There was a strong tradition of community service. On
their own. or rather under the careful eye of Miss Hartridge,
Hartridge students raised the money to begin a children's
ward at Muhlenberg Hospital and annually ran a fair to
support this effort.
Charles Digby Wardlaw joined the Leal faculty in 1911 and
immediately began his efforts to promote organized athletics.
He bought the good will of the school in 1916.
Leal lived until October. 1936.
Wardlaw said of him. "He was one of the finest gentlemen-schoolmen
this country ever produced. He was a wonderful
scholar and dedicated teacher, who instructed all
day, every day, through recess and at night to see that his
boys made good.”
Despite these kind words, there was apparently acrimony
between Leal and Wardlaw. In a recent interview, Prentice
Horne, headmaster of the Wardlaw School after it became a
non-profit institution and then W-H head, said that as a
condition of the sale of the Leal School, Leal insisted that
Wardlaw make no reference to the fact that Wardlaw's
school succeeded Leal’s.
Wardlaw almost immediately violated this agreement,
and. ironically, it may be this very transgression that keeps
Leal's name alive 100 years after he founded his school in the
Wall Street suburb that boasted more than 100 millionaires.
But, of course, John Leal's clock sounds in the office of
the current headmaster as it will for many years hence.
After purchasing the Leal School in 1916, Charles Digby
Wardlaw wasted little time in establishing his own school
over which he would preside for 43 years. He bought a
building at 1038 Park Avenue, a couple blocks north of the
present Muhlenberg Hospital. At that time the property was
on the outskirts of Plainfield, at the end of the trolley line.
Because of its location, the school was able to maintain 4
football fields, 3 baseball diamonds and 6 tennis courts, all of
which were extolled in a full page ad announcing the new
school in the local press. Shortley after acquiring the new
plant. Mr. Wardlaw built a modern gymnasium which was
considered to be one of the finest in the state at that time.
It had windows on four sides and was amply equipped with
the latest and best athletic apparatus.
With a faculty of 6 which included his wife Charlotte as
art instructor and the venerable Harriet Holloway as geography
teacher. Mr. Wardlaw continued the pursuit of academic
excellence established by his predecessor, Mr. Leal.
He was one of the early proponents of the country day
school movement in the United States and wrote many
articles on the advantages of having children remain with
their families instead of going off to boarding schools. Mr.
Wardlaw was apparently ahead of his time in this respect,
as many of his students went on to attend the finest prep
schools in the Northeast. They were well prepared for these
schools as attested by the many letters of commendation
sent to Mr. Wardlaw by the headmasters of those institutions.
The Wardlaw School was a firm believer in a complete
education that included vigorous and mandatory participation
in physical and athletic activities. The first school
brochure stated that "a restless boy is a mischievous one"
and that "every boy above second grade must spend 2 hours
daily in recreative games.”
Miss Hartridge objected to the image that her school
served only the daughters of the rich and saw to it that
there were always scholarships for talented young women
whose families could not afford the fees. Sometimes she
provided that money herself.
But also, early on, she fostered the idea of alumnae participation
— in rolling bandages during the Great War and in
offering scholarships.
Also, early on. Miss Hartridge saw the need to establish
the school she loved on a permanent basis. In 1931 she began
the shift to a non-profit institution, which was accomplished
in 1933 with F. Seymour Barr. Henry W. Brower. Miss Har
tridge, E. Kendall Morse, Murray Rushmore and John P.
Stevens Jr. as trustees.
At almost the same time she notified the board of her
intentions to sooner or later stepdown as head, and began
her own search for women who would carry on her strong
tradition.
By now. in 1933. the school had announced plans for a
country day school, full of air. light, healthful activity and
intense scholarship.
In 1930 a juniper tree was planted next to Pan in the open
green. "Martin with spade and watering can did the heavy
work." The statue of Pan had toppled by my time at Hartridge,
but that juniper probably still stands.
In 1934 Rosemary Evans and Camilla Haywood, both H.S.
'33, added "Hail Hartridge" to the school’s heritage, followed
in 1936 by the first presentation of the Wigton Cup
and 1937 the H Pin.
Prentice Horne recalls that the Park Avenue school was
literally bursting at the seams during the 1931-1932 school
year when he attended Wardlaw. The excellence of the
faculty was evident in his teachers, who included Marian
Kilpatrick in math, Paul Troth in English and Madamoselle
Escoffier in French. In 1932. Mr. Wardlaw purchased the
Strong residence at 1030 Central Avenue. A beautiful Georgian
mansion that was architecturally significant when constructed
in 1896. it would serve as the home of the Wardlaw
School until the move to Inman Avenue in 1969.
Mr. Wardlaw maintained the school as a privately owned
proprietary institution in contrast to a non-profit incorporated
entity. Nonetheless he was substantially aided by
many friends of the school in relocating to Central Avenue.
Most significant was the donation of the beautiful new gym
by the Laidlaw family.
Admist the country's worst depression, the school continued
to grow and develop in many fields during the I930's.
Mr. Wardlaw's twin sons, Dig. Jr. and Fred joined their
father in the new school after graduating from the University
of North Carolina. By 1933 the enrollment had pushed past
the 100mark. In 1937, Mr. Wardlaw acquired a nursery school
and operated it in the old gym at the Park Avenue school.
During the 30's, Wardlaw fielded outstanding athletic
teams in the major sports of football, basketball and base
ball. In addition opportunities to pursue track, boxing, fenc
ing. gymnastics and marksmanship were offered to the
students. Each spring, the baseball team would travel south
and play college level teams. One of Mr. Wardlaw's proudest
moments had to be in 1938 when his boys beat his alma
mater, the North Carolina freshmen. 9-3 on the tar heels
own turf.
By the end of the decade, Wardlaw had truly reached a
zenith of accomplishments. For four consecutive years, vir
tually the entire school put on an elaborate Gilbert &Sullivan
(continued on page 10)

The Teens
This second decade of the twentieth
century was a fruitful one for the
arts. Jazz music and dancing became
popular, especially among the younger
generations. Silent movie stars such as
Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, the
Keystone Kops, and Pauline brought
people to the cinemas. In addition, this
decade brought out writers like Robert
Frost, Sherwood Anderson, and Edgar
Lee Masters whose works were widely
read.
As the decade continued, Henry
Ford introduced his model-T and later
the model-A. New literary magazines
were published as people became more
liberal: for example, The Saturday
Evening Post, Vogue, Good Housekeeping,
Ladies’ Home Journal, and the
extremely radical The Masses.
Towards the end of the decade, as
the country moved into war, the role
of women continued to change. They
began working in the factories and
working towards gaining woman’s suffrage.
The women helped to build the
morale of the men at war "over-there”
by sending donated food, books, and
clothes. They published pictures of the
front and tried to bring about national
unity as this decade came to a close.

operetta each May. These productions, under the direction
of Frederick R.M. Coles, were critically acclaimed by the
media and were capped by the stunning performance of the
Mikado in May 1941.
A strong mother’s association was founded in 1957, a
group that continues to this day to serve the school well.
While thoughts of merger would have to wait for a third
of a century, in 1940 the glee club joined with Hartridge for a
holiday carol program. This joint concert was described in
the Wardlawsun as an "inspiration,” that encouraged the
boys to "sing now with real zest.”
On the night of June 5,1941, Mr. Wardlaw was recognized
at a reception commemorating his silver anniversary. Mrs.
Robert T. Stevens, President of the Mother's Association,
went to great effort to put on a splendid party. It was not
just coincidental that his affair preceded the annual public
speaking contest. Wardlaw boys were taught to think, play,
perform, but most of all, they were taught to speak on their
feet. Boys participated all year long on various teams in
preparation for the oratorical finale. In some ways, the
actual graduation, usually held the following day, was almost
anti-climatic.
Approaching 60, Mr, Wardlaw could be justifiably proud
of the school he had shaped and molded through troubled
years. Both his faculty and student body by now had trippled.
His sons Dig as Principal and Fred as Associate Principal
were assisting him ably. The future appeared boundless
for the splendid day school on Central Avenue.
However, in the same anniversary issue of the June 1941
Wardlawsun, there was an article describing senior Student
Council support for the British Relief Organization of Plainfield
as "foremost in the minds of Wardlaw students.” The
clouds of war were indeed enveloping our hemisphere, as
well as Europe. As it affected virtually every American’s life
and our very social fabric, the Second World War would
profoundly and tragically affect the Wardlaw family and the
school itself.
On December 7,1941, Charles Digby Wardlaw was ptaying
badminton on a quiet Sunday at the Wardlaw gym with his
twin sons. Dig Jr. and Fred. The seemingly tranquil game
was interrupted by a bulletin on the radio that the Japanese
had attacked Pearl Harbor.
With this great watershed moment, the future of the
Wearing mannish uniforms, these intrepid
World War I army nurses appear
to be a formidable match for any
foe.
Wardlaw School would be changed significantly. During the
war years, Wardlaw continued to educate the young men of
the area. However, the high enrollments and unbounded
optimism of the 30’s were greatly reduced during this period.
The April, 1942 Wardlawsun describes the formation of a
school first aid squad. During a first aid drill in cooperation
with other squads in the Plainfield area, the school was used
as a central emergency station. Other articles detailed defense
stamp sales, tin conservation programs and books for
soldiers campaigns. The Mothers’ Association had established
an emergency motor corps which would evacuate
students from the school in the event of an enemy attack.
John Goddard, a senior and top athlete, was featured in
the paper. Dig Wardlaw, Jr., school principal, was the faculty
advisor. Tragically both would die in the war, along with
seven other sons of Wardlaw. It was believed by many that
Dig Jr. would succeed his father as headmaster some day.
His loss was a terrible blow to his family and the school.
A saddened school returned from summer vacation in the
fall of 1945. But Mr. Wardlaw and his son Fred, now principal,
refused to give up and went back to the business of running
their school.
In July, 1947, Mr. Wardlaw was seriously hurt in an auto
accident. He was permanently injured and had to use a cane
and wear a raised shoe for the rest of his life. However,
nothing would keep him down, and in the fall he returned to
school on crutches. A serious fire that year destroyed the
barn in the rear of the school. A new building was erected on
the spot to house a manual training shop, kindergarten and
custodian apartment.
Through the efforts and generosity of Wardlaw parents, a
Memorial Chapel was started in the summer of 1948. Later
Professional efficiency, 'the steady, incorruptible
purr of the dynamo’, made the musical revue eminently
characteristic of 20th-century America.

that year it was dedicated in a solemn ceremony that was at
the same time triumphant — reflecting the indomitable will
of the Wardlaw family and school to survive in spite of all
the adversity of the past few years.
In 1948, Wardlaw held its first summer school under the
direction of Lewis Timberlake. That fall a Halloween party
was staged complete with a house of horrors, pony rides
and a magician. Proceeds were used to pay for the Chapel
lighting fixtures.
In May of 1949, the school held a minstrel show, in which
the entire student body participated. The Class of 1949 was
so successful that Mr. Wardlaw took out a full page ad in the
Courier News, extolling their excellence and acceptance at
top colleges in the East. Five of the six graduates went on to
attend Yale, Princeton, Brown and Lehigh.
The retirement of Miss Hartridge and Miss Mapelsden in
1940 marked the end of an era for what had become a girls'
day and boarding school with a national reputation.
Perhaps most dramatic was the elimination of the boarding
department. The last boarding class graduated in June.
1940.
During the summer months the four boarding units at
Oakwood were extensively remodelled into large, light
classrooms. The Main House was designed to accomodate
the academic department and administrative office. The
Acorn was transformed into a study hall, art studio, library,
and sixth and seventh grade classrooms.
Forty years later that library is still providing a cheerful,
comfortable place for students to learn and learn to enjoy
books. On the walls there hang the portraits of the women
who headed The Hartridge School and helped create an
(continued on page 12)

atmosphere of academic success and leadership which continues
today.
Also. 40 years later, the study hall remains a study hall for
sixth graders, a place of intense concentration during exams
and also an occasional classroom, especially for one
seventh grade math section.
The "Pine Cone" housed the second through fifth grades
and the "Mushroom" nursery through first grades, an arrangement
which remained in effect until the late 1950’s.
Another major move came on Monday, May 2, 1940, when
the trustees of the Hartridge School and the trustees of The
Plainfield Country Day School announced a merger which
would take effect in September, 1940.
According to Barbara Hitchings, Mrs. Georgianna Hoadley
Smith Breese, an old Plainfield figure whose father was
with the Stock Market, founded the P.C.D.C. in 1933.
Miss Hitchings joined as head teacher through the connection
of the Child Education Foundation in New York, an
organization which helped organize the Plainfield school
and the place where Miss Hitchings trained.
Miss Hitchings was graduated from the University of
Maine in 1924, received a diploma from the Child Education
Foundation in 1926, and an A.M. from New York University
School of Education in 1948, having specialized in the field of
school psychology.
Before coming to Plainfield, Miss Hitchings was director
of the nursery school of Bowling Green Neighborhood
House. New York, and organized the nursery school of the
Mary C. Wheeler School in Providence. For seven years she
was in charge of the education program for the Plainfield
Country Day School. During the summers of 1933 to 1938 she
was in charge of the Educational Therapy Department of
Babies’ Hospital in New York.
Located in the big old Otterson house at 1333 Evergreen
Avenue, the school was based on Montessori principles and
accepted boys and girls.
The school opened with children from nursery school
through sixth grade and added a grade each year until 1940
when two young women graduated. There were 70 students
enrolled at the time of the merger, most of them in the
preschool and elementary grades.
Miss Hitchings said that a beech tree on the school property
is still standing, although the houses have been torn
down.
A squash court in the Otterson house was just right "for
Hartridge girls acting

storing outdoor equipment and playing in on rainy days. The
big sand box went to Hartridge, as did the big blocks for
building.”
All of the furniture in the Mushroom came from Evergreen
Avenue, and much playground equipment including swings
behind the Mushroom, which weren’t replaced until 1981.
Miss Elsie Goddard, who had joined the Plainfield Country
Day School in 1939 as co-director with Miss Hitchings, came
to Hartridge with the merger, as did most of the faculty,
trustees and students.
At Hartridge. Miss Hitchings and Harriet Sleeper were
chosen as associate principals by Miss Hartridge, while
Frances Hurrey was named principal. As Miss Hitchings
remembers it, each was paid $1,200 for her work.
Just as furniture, books and supplies were on the move
from the Plainfield Country Day School on Evergreen Avenue
to The Hartridge property on Plainfield Avenue, so too
was all of the equipment from the Hartridge building at
West Seventh Street and Arlington Avenue, a building
bought by the Plainfield Red Cross.
On Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1940, The Hartridge School reopened
as a day school.
Much had changed when less than a year later Miss
Mapelson died on July 25, 1941. Then Miss Hartridge died in
her sleep on Thursday night. Sept. 24,1942, at her apartment,
235 East 73rd Street, New York.
The news came as a shock to hundreds of former students
and former associates in Plainfield. She had been expected
to visit in town with two members of the faculty the following
weekend.
Funeral services were held in Savannah, and Miss Hartridge
was buried in the family plot in Bonaventure Cemetary,
Savannah. The memorial service for Miss Hartridge
was held on Oct. 12. 1942, at the Crescent Avenue Church in
Plainfield.
Trustees, faculty and students of The Hartridge School, as
well as former teachers, alumnae and friends, attended the
four o’clock service on Sunday.
Miss Amy L. Reed of the English department at Vassar
College represented the Associate Alumnae of Vassar. and
Miss Harriet L. Hunt, principal of the Kent Place School in
Summit, represented the Headmistresses Association of the
East, both groups with which Miss Hartridge was active.
All praised Miss Hartridge for her foresight as an educator
and an administrator, . a molder of women’s education.
Miss Frances A. Hurrey took over as principal after the
1940 commencement. She lead the school for II years and is
remembered for a number of accomplishments.
Among the most outstanding are: the organization of a
student government which became one of the strongest
features of the schooli evaluation and accreditation of the
Upper School by the Middle States Associations implementation
of a pension plan for faculty) student and faculty participation
in the Buck Hill Conference of the Council for
Religion in Independent Schools, an interest at Hartridge for
more than 20 years; establishment of a standardized
achievement testing program under the Educational Records
Bureau; and introduction of the evaluation of each
new student with an individually administered intelligence
test.
In a history of the Hartridge School published in The Hue
and Cry in April, 1965, is the following note: "Miss Hurrey
was gracious and charming. The school under her leadership
had an atmosphere of friendliness that was felt by faculty
and students alike. While guarding well the academic standard
which Miss Hartridge had established, she added the
gentleness and fun which were part of her personality. Her
sympathetic understanding and enthusiastic interest in the
girls and all they did was reflected by their devotion to her
and to the school. She was indeed a very happy choice as
principal.”
Although the United States was not yet at war, the school
had in its incoming student body several British refugees
who studied at Hartridge on partial scholarships offered by
the school. One such student was Marian Vans Agnew of
Truro, Cornwall, England, a high school student who resided
with her cousin. Mrs. William B. Jupp. at 915 Kensington
Avenue in Plainfield.
War changed everyone's life. The usual theory was that
school girls would suffer least disruption, and while this was
generally true, there were differences.
When the labor shortages became acute, the girls took
over major and minor cleaning chores in the classrooms and
halls. They swept floors, emptied wastebaskets, washed
blackboards, dusted chairs and desks.
Once again, all were members of the Junior Red Cross, the
organization Miss Hartridge founded nationwide. In addition
to annual donations, the girls voted to go without dessert
in the lunchroom one day a week, filling up on rolls to
help them last until supper and saving the nickels the desserts
represented.
Red Cross projects also included knitting afghans, sewing,
making scrapbooks and producing favors for the soldiers at
Lyons Veterans’ Hospital.
For its part, the service committee raised money by auctions.
Each girl and teacher brought something to school,
anything from a can of soup to a safety pin. Each item was
wrapped in secret and then auctioned off during assembly.
No one knew what she was bidding for. but there was
something about the crowd and the auction that really made
people part with their money.
The spring production of the dramatic club was given to
benefit the war effort.
On Dec. 9. 1946. Miss Frances Hurrey married Mr. Dixon
C. Philips, the mayor of Plainfield, in Montclair, N J. Inadvertantly,
Mrs. Philips’ marriage and the fact that she remained
head of the school may have been a first for Hartridge. for
unmarried teachers were virtually unknown at the time.
Mrs. Philips, Miss Hurrey at the time, had joined the
faculty in 1934 and become head of the French department
the next year.
As a member of the Head Mistresses Association of the
East, she served on its Professional Standards Committee
and was the representative from the association to the New
York Cooperative Bureau for Teachers. She also served on
the executive committee of the bureau. She was president
of the Alliance Francaise and a member of the Monday
Afternoon Club, the Plainfield College Club and the Mount
Holyoke Club of northern New Jersey.
In the fall of 1950. two new clubs were started, a drama
club under the direction of Mrs. Fred Wardlaw and a journalism
club, which produced a revised Wardlawsun for a couple
of years.
The Class of 1948 re-instituted the year book after a gap
of over 30 years.Yearbooks were issued in every subsequent
year except 1950. In 1951, Mr. Wardlaw was approaching 70.
and his strength, if not will, had been greatly drained by his
personal and physical tragedies.
Fred Wardlaw. although a devoted and loyal son, did not
have the desire to take over the active day-to-day running
of the school. It was at this time that Mr. Wardlaw turned to
Ralph Harris, a former teacher for a short period in the 30’s,
to assume the role of assistant principal.
Harris immediately rushed into the job with extreme vigor
and enthusiasm. In a short period, he revitalized the
school and literally kept it going until the sale to the Trustees
in 1959.
Harris, an indefatigable worker, was a combination business
manager, operations director, disciplinarian and athletic
director, among other things. He introduced soccer to
Wardlaw. replacing six-man football which had been played
in the late 40’s. Sports teams became better organized and
equipped during this period.
The Class of 1956 had ten members, the largest of the post
(continued to page 12)

The Twenties
After the cease of World War I,
America sought to return to its prewar
isolationist state. "Red scares”
and the League of Nations seemed to
threaten us, but we managed to find
our way back into our own obscure
corner. Only the government remained
in close contact with the
world, most of which owed money to
the United States.
Before the war had ended, people
became very patriotic and voted to
pass a prohibition law. But as the twenties
progressed, people again became
willing to drink - illegally. People, especially
women, then became more daring
in other things. After gaining their
suffrage in 1920, women flaunted their
new indepenedence. Some women, the
"Flappers,” helped name the decade
"The Roaring Twenties” by bobbing
their hair, wearing short skirts, smoking
and drinking. Later, the Flappers
faded into oblivion when Prohibition
was lifted in 1933.
Since people began to enjoy new entertainment
such as movies, jazz music,
and theater, they neglected to
watch the economy. The government
had no regulation over the businesses,
so big "Trusts,” with callous disregard
for the failing economy, bought as
much as they could in order to build
monopolies. Some people saw the result
coming, but most were unprepared
for the Stock Market Crash in October,
1929. It was this catastrophe that
led the nation into another decade . . .
this time, one of depression.

war era. This class was instrumental in establishing the
Wardlaw Beacon in December 1953, which became the first
paper in school history to survive for more than several
years. Originally established as a crisp and timely paper
published every two weeks, it has developed over the years
to become one of the top school papers in the state, thirty
years after its first publication.
During this period Wardlaw athletic teams had difficult
times because of the small number of students. However,
they always competed avidly. Persistence paid off for the
1955 soccer team, which, after going nearly two seasons
without a victory, burst forth with a splendid 6-3-1 winning
season. In the late 50’s, with enrollments increasing, teams
became more respectable, especially in soccer and basketball.
In 1958, J.V . soccer and baseball teams were formed, in
addition to J.V. basketball.
One of the most lasting memories of the 50's was the
chapel service held each morning before the start of school.
Mr. Wardlaw would stand in front of the chapel door and
personally greet each boy as he entered the room. He sat in
the middle up front, surrounded by his son Fred on his right
and Ralph Harris on his left.
Fred would read a passage from the Bible while Harris
would make all the announcements of school business and
call upon coaches, faculty members and students for other
news.
Usually 10-15 minutes in length, chapel would occasionally
be extended several minutes if Mr. Wardlaw had something
serious to say to the boys. With the eloquence of a Churchill,
(continued on page 14)
During the 1920’s the school grew steadily
in both size and accomplishment. Several of
the men who would later purchase the school
from Mr. Wardlaw in 1959, were students
during this period. Charles Detwiller, who
was the prime mover of that group, was the
associate editor of the Wardlaw News.
Held's flaming youths, with characteristic
costumes and slouches
Mildred Carson, H.S. ’29, also remembers
the "respectfully chorused ’Good morning,
Miss Hartridge,’” as well as the fact that
"one girl was expelled for bleaching her
hair.” She also recalls Miss Hartridge’s huge
Great Dane, Mars, who used to leap into the
back seat of her sedan without needing to
have the door opened for him.
A 1917 policy to give students "as much
freedom as is compatible with sound scholarship”
had been translated in 1923 into a student
government and an honor system, in
1925 in to the first Hartridge inter-scholastic
hockey game (a l-l tie with Miss Beard’s
School), the 1924 Hart and Ridge logo, the
1926 trouncing of Kent Place in hockey 5-0,
followed by the 1929 advance in the sports
schedule to two outside games.

The Thirties
As the nation sought to rid itself of
bad stocks and remove its money from
failing banks, a new president entered
the scene. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
set out to bring the nation out of its
slump before it collapsed permanently.
People tried to find ways to recover,
but with Congressional disapproval of
reform measures, the nation fell into a
dark depression.
FDR’s first hundred days were spent
developing a New Deal program stressing
the three R's - relief, recovery, and
reform. Fie set out with enthusiasm to
change the nation, strong in the belief
that "the only thing we have to fear is
fear itself." FDR proposed many new
acts designed to help people find employment
and save money. Congress
rejected many of the proposals but finally
accepted a few such as the Tennessee
Valley Authority and Labor
Acts.
As FDR attempted to save the nationa,
Stalin in Russian and Hitler in
Germany rapidly rose in power. Both
dictators desired to gain more land
and take over Europe. More aggressive
in his demands, Hitler took over
France. As a consequence, Great Britain
declared war on Germany and
hoped the United States would aid
their effort. Instead, FDR chose to remain
neutral, but the decade ended
with the American view again directed
toward Europe and its problems.
(continued from page 13)
he would often deliver an inspirational oration that students
would remember for years to come.
Of the ten members of the class of 1956, six were admitted
MIT, Brown, Yale, Trinity and two to Lehigh. By 1959,
enrollment had increased to well over X O students, with a
graduating class of seventeen. This last class under Mr.
Wardlaw's tutelage was the largest in the school’s history.
At the emotional final commencement in June, 1959, the
graduating class presented a silver shafted cane with their
signatures as a fitting tribute to a man who was undoubtedly
one of the most loved headmasters at any private school in
the nation.
On February 15, 1951, John A. Darsie, president of the
Hartridge board of trustees, announced that Mrs. Philips
planned to retire at the end of the school year.
He said, "When Mrs. Philips submitted her resignation to
the board of trustees, it was accepted with the deepest
personal regret by the members of the board.
"Under the guidance of Mrs. Philips, the school has not
only carried on the fine tradition established by Miss Hartridge,
but has maintained its position of high rank in the
secondary field.
"The naming of a successor has not been a serious problem,
however, for in Miss Sleeper and Miss Hitchings the
school has on its staff able administrators who have had
many years of service in education, a large part of which
has been at the Hartridge School. The school, we fell sure,
will carry on the same high standard of scholarship that
existed under the leadership of Miss Hartridge and Mrs.
Philips."
He noted that Miss Sleeper had wide training and experience.
The daughter of the late Prof. Henry D. Sleeper, for
many years head of the Music Department at Smith College,
she graduated from Smith in I9T3. Miss Sleeper then taught
Busby Berkeley transformed the screen musical by expanding tradition to a previously
undreamed of scale. Above, Dames, 1934.
By the thirties (billboard on Highway 99), the automobile was a symbol of the good of life. By

at the Park School in Cleveland, the Brooklyn Ethical Culture
School and the Harley School in Rochester.
In 1932, Miss Sleeper earned a master’s degree in educational
psychology from Columbia University. She joined the
Hartridge faculty in 1933, became head of the Lower School
in 1935 and associate principal in 1940.
Miss Sleeper was widely known in academic circles for
her work in helping to write the Master Key Arithmetics
series.
She directed Camp Marbury in Vergennes, V t„ for more
than 20 years. After her retirement she spent her summers
there and her winters in Montpelier, Vt.
In Plainfield, she was an officer of the United Family and
Children’s Society, but devoted almost all of her efforts to
Hartridge and its activities.
Miss Sleeper was co-author of a textbook for educators,
"The Creative Individual."
Miss Sleeper spent 35 years at Hartridge, 17 of those as
principal. During her years as head, the enrollment nearly
doubled and there were waiting lists for many grades when
she retired.
In summing up her tenure, Miss Sleeper said she emphasized
the policy begun by Miss Hartridge ''to give the students
as much freedom as is compatible with sound scholarship.”
The early 1950’s saw more changes. In 1953 Margaretta
Kuhlthau designed the new school seal which replaced the
original Hart on a Ridge logo, which continued to be used for
a number of years on class rings.
The new seal was an upright oval with a dark border on
which the words "The Hartridge School” and "Knowledge is
Power" were written. In the center was a banner with the
date Miss Hargridge took over the school. 1903, and a shield.
For some years, the trustees had hoped to erect new
buildings at Plainfield Avenue. Instead, in 1954, the money in
the building fund was invested in the rejuvenation of the
Main House.
While retaining the classic Victorian style, the third and
fourth floors were removed, as were the north and west
proches and the portecochere. A new south wing was added
to give a main entrance.
Elsewhere on campus, the old clay tennis courts were
replaced.
The changes stood the school in good stead until it became
apparent that Hartridge needed more classrooms and
a full size gymnasium. In 1958 the Harriet Sleeper Gymnasium
and science labs were built. Because of this expansion
the hockey field was turned on end from perpendicular to
Plainfield Avenue to parallel. The cafeteria was enlarged.
A year later the Art Studio and History of Art room were
added to the new gym. The old science labs were moved
from the basement of the old gym, and additional locker
rooms and a large music room resulted.
With all the changes, certain things remained constant,
including the sound of Miss Sleeper’s bugle calling students
to class when the bells weren’t working, the set of trains in
her office, and the red engineer's cap Miss Sleeper wore at
varsity games.
In 1968, the Hue and Cry offered this summary of Miss
Sleeper:
"To run a school, all it took was devotion, diligence,
understanding, labor for as much as 18 hours a day, sympathy,
intelligence, capacity, resilence, love for the job, the
school, the faculty, and the community* and, oh yes, fith,
hope and charity. Miss Sleeper had them all.”
When she retired an editorial in the Curier News said that
a long-time trustee had described her as a person who
adjusted to any situation with absolutely no fuss, while
"inside she’s solid oak.”
The newspaper went on: "She can compromise on the
means, but never on the ends, the trustee said, and while
she has definite objectives, high standards and staunch
principles — she manages to attain her goals by almost
invisible means. She has touched the lives of many girls.
"In her position as teacher and principal, Miss Sleeper has
been happily tireless in her attention to every facet of the
schools operation and its extra-curricular activities as well.
At the same time she has maintained an interest in each girl
as an individual.
"Miss Sleeper can be absolutely objective in her attitudes,
a longtime associate said of her. She has been praised for
her sense of humor as well as her good humor — two
entirely different attributes.”
Miss Sleeper died in Vermont on October 13,1975. She was
73 years old.

The Forties
During the early part of the 1940’s,
FDR chose to reject neutrality and entered
the war. The decade then became
an age of violence and fear, and
later, a time for relaxation. The nation
was nervous during the early
part of the decade, for the turmoil of a
second world war made its mark. As
Europe was ravished by shell fire, the
United States reverberated with the
shock. Finally, America was relieved
when the war ended with the dropping
of the A-bomb.
Once the war was over and "Johnny
came marching home,” the morale of
the public ran high. Nobody wanted to
run the risk of lapsing into another depression,
so people worked hard to
keep the economy going. After the
rate of production for war materials
dropped, the rate of production for
consumer items rose. People bought
the comodies they had been denied
and thus helped maintain the economy.
With the war over the people began
to enjoy entertainment. Box offices
sold more tickets to more shows and
movies than ever before. Such productions
as Oklahoma and Annie Get Your
Gun exemplify the light-hearted attitude
of the people during this time. By
the end of the decade, everyone had
an awakened, new interest in sports,
music, and showss temporarily, political
issues were disregarded.

Japan, on the other hand, was dramatically sudden. Atomic bombs were
dropped on 6 and 9 August 1945. Japan surrendered on 14 August, and an
armistice was signed on 2 September.

The Fifties
Although a decade full of devastating
war had just ended, the next years
only introduced another. When the
Communist Russians took control of
southeast Asia, the Allies were
alarmed at this unexpected spread of
Communism. The Americans sought a
way to quell Communism in Asia as
well as in Europe. The "Cold War” was
the time during which the United States
boycotted trade with Communist
nations in an attempt to dry up Communism.
When the Russians helped the
North Koreans to begin a shooting war,
the United States entered on the opposing
South Korean side. Fighting
which lasted for about three years
helped the United States to realize its
true importance as a world power.
At home, Senator Joe mcCarthy
slandered hundreds of people by accusing
them of being "Reds.” The
scandals caused by supposed Communist
connections made the American
people distrustful and suspicious of
each other. When McCarthy himself
was put on trial and convicted, the
bewildered Americans found their values
overturned and their world in confusion.
It was President "Ike” Eisenhower,
veteran of the second World War, who
helped the people to overcome their
uncertainty and fear of Communism.
He sought to support blacks by forcing
desegregation in schools. Then, with
the aid of television broadcasts, the
issue came alive for the general public.
It was now that the Reverend Martin
Luther King, Jr. launched his Civil
Rights movement. By preaching nonviolent
resistance, the blacks tried to
get Congress to pass reforms.

Desegregation in Washington, D.C. In the fall of 1954, following
the Supreme Court decision against school segregation,
McKinley Technical High School quietly opened on a
basis of equality for all students regardless of color. Before
this date, public schools in the nation's capital were segregated.

The Army-McCarthy Hearings
During the 1954 televised hearings
on alleged Communist influence
in the Army, Senator
Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin
uses a map to show the supposed
distribution of Communists
throughout the country,
while the chief counsel for the
Army, Joseph Welch, and (at
the extreme left) the assistant
counsel, James St. Clair, listen.
Twenty years later St. Clair
was to defend President Richard
M. Nixon against an impeachment
move arising from
the Watergate affair.

The Sixties
The end of the fifties brought the
Russian Sputnik and the Cuban missile
crisis. The start of the sixties was not
much better. The Civil Rights Movement
made a major impression with
the stirring voices of Martin Luther
King, Jr. and Malcolm X. Almost immediately
the nation was shocked by the
original "good die young” period as
they watched President John Kennedy,
Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther
King all die by the hands of assassins.
The nation boomed economically
even while it was led into another
southeast Asian war. There were many
anti-war movements which became
more important than the civil rights
movement. The younger generation
was affected most directly due to
drafts and they developed slogans to
try to stop the war and to express
their new outlook, usually with the
general phrasing of "make love not
war.”
The younger generation was also
greatly influenced by the Beatles and
other rock groups. This period also
saw a "sexual revolution” which produced
real benefits towards the end of
the decade with the start of the women’s
rights movement. With all the riots
and problems in domestic life, science
was able to make a major breakthrough.
First, a man was able to orbit
around the earth, and then three
American astronauts became the first
men to walk on the moon. Considering
all that occurred during this decade, it
is truly one of the most explosive in
our history.
Through the 1960’s, Wardlaw and
Hartridge each experienced a continuing
growth and fostered their traditionally
high academic standards. This
is evidenced at Wardlaw by the ever
expanding faculty and the paucity of
students making the first honor roll.
The early prosperity of the decade bolstered
support for building a new
school, and Mr. Horne’s project
"Lamplight” was born. This ambitious
plan reached its fruition when then
New Jersey Governor Richard Hughes
and Dr. Mason Gross, former president
of Rutgers Univeristy, were the
principal speakers at the dedicaiton of
the new Inman Avenue building in September,
1969. At the same time, the
Wardlaw enrollment continued its
growth to new all-time highs.

Some of the older generation were alienated by
the bitter attacks on Establishment values by militant
student leaders who supported draft evasion,
demanded a 'democratic' share in university government,
and expressed disenchantment with what
appeared to them as "battery-farming" methods.
Yet when viewed in the historical context, their
demands for 'relevance', and for a part in governing
the institutions are the continuation of characteristic
American traditions in education.

The Seventies
As time marched forward into
the seventies, so did the troops in
Viet Nam. The war was continued,
although opposition increased. Finally,
when the war did not end, and
President Nixon lied about bombing
Cambodia, American faith in government,
traditional values, and
policies hit an all-time low.
Then the Watergate crisis was
made public! President Nixon
fought the charges, stating "I am
innocent” to no avail. At last, he
resigned his position and Gerald
Ford took his office. This rookie
President was faced with a small
recession and then, an oil crisis, and
a larger recession.
Meanwhile, the American people
sought a refuge from these problems.
Release was found in a strong
woman’s movement, discos, jogging,
and tennis. During the Bicentennial,
people rediscovered a patriotism
that had been lost during
the Viet Nam era. When election
time rolled around Americans saw a
new patriotic comfort in the unheard-of
dark horse, Governor
James (Jimmy) Carter. When he
was elected President, Carter started
by keeping the good feeling of
American life and patriotism. He
signed a peace treaty between
Egypt and Israel. He also imposed a
wheat embargo against Russia when
the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. By
the end of the decade, American
patriotic spirit had peaked. The
spirit remained high, but Americans
became indignant when Iranian students
took forty-four American diplomats
hostage and held them as
the decade came to a close.
The recession and turmoil in the
early I970’s affected the Wardlaw
and Hartridge schools. In an effort
to preserve their fine traditions, the
two schools merged in 1976 not only
as a means of survival but also to
enhance the qualities of each. The
Wardlaw School’s Inman Ave. campus
housed the upper grades, while
the Hartridge campus was the home
of the lower grades, kindergarten
through seventh. Thus, the Wardlaw-Hartridge
School was formed,
and the campus arrangement remain.
Initial difficulties were soon
worked out, and soon sports, academics,
and social life were thriving.

Abortion March In the early 1900s, women’s right advocates demonstrated for the right to share
in their own government by means of the vote. In the early 1970s some of them demanded the
right to control their own bodies — through abortion. New York and a few other states responded
with liberalized abortion laws.

The Eighties
The most telling event in 1980 was
the election of Republican Ronald Reagan
as President of the United States.
The changing values of the new era
became apparent by examining the redefined
priorities. Social services such
as welfare and educational grants have
been pitted against the federal defense
budget. In addition, the environment
has been challenged by industries
such as mining and drilling companies,
while such '70s legislation as
the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts
have been challenged by reviewers. A
ten percent unemployment rate now
shocks the country, as do the moneymaking
scandals of high government
officials. Abroad, the United States has
been attacked for its involvement in
Central America, and the US-USSR
arms race speeds ever faster with
ever rising stakes. However, the United
States energy crisis has safely ended,
and a computer revolution led by
American technology has brought this
nation back into the international limelight,
the hostages were returned.
Just as the nation continued in its
conservative trend away from the ’60s
radicalism, W-H also returned to tradition
while forging ahead simultaneously
into the future. As usual, we started
the decade by winning our share of
state championships in such sports as
football, field hockey, basketball, and
lacrosse. At the same time, the school
acquired a new wrestling room and fully
equipped weight room to accomodate
the oncoming fitness trend, and a
whirlpool to ameliorate ensuing injuries,
The dress code returned to former
standards of excellence with Lower
Schoolers wearing uniforms, Upper
School girls eschewing such fad fashions
as the mini-skirt and the culotte,
and boys retaining the ever-fashionable
tie and jacket. Meanwhile, the
number of minicomputers inhabiting
the school increased geometrically in
the past few years. Lower School buildings
retained the charms of old Plainfield,
but the Upper School walls underwent
a paint job to cheer the incoming
century. Thus, mingled tradition and
trends ushered in a new decade and a
new age at W-H.

Although the role played by the Trustees
remains a mystery to most students, they
play an active part in school life as is in
creasingly evident in their Centennial activities.
The plans for the Centennial have
been in effect for the past year. Dr. James
Sorger heads the Centennial Committee,
while under him there are many committees
with chairpeople. The publicity for the Centennial,
chaired by Ms. Patricia Turner,
planned the kick-off picnic in May, 1982,
and has continued to provide the school
with other festivities since. The Centennial
Historical Committee, chaired by Mr. Peter
Stevenson, has been supplying the school,
through the Beacon, with an in-depth per
spective of the history of both Wardlaw
and Hartridge.
One of the most active, non-Centennial.
committees is the Development Committee,
which is co-chaired by Mrs. Fredrick
Lackland. Mr. M. Peter Madsen and Mr. David
Pearson. They have worked very hard
with the Century Challenge Fund, which,
under the direction of the several chairpersons
including the above and Mr. Morrison,
Mr. Del Vento, and Mrs. Childers, has been
successful thus far. Through the support of
alumni/ae, parents, and foundational
grants, the school is on its way towards its
goal of one million dollars.
Finally, a new committee was created
this year, the Faculty and Curriculum Committee.
This committee looks at the philos
ophies of the school. Its function is to sug
gest and to learn. The committee also allows
each department to express its own needs
and concerns directly to the board. Al
though the committee has only met twice
this year, they have discussed the use of
writing skills in every subject and the en
larging role of the computer. Mr. Ayres has
stated, as the year rolls to an end, that
working with the committees and the
Trustees as a whole has helped him a great
deal in running the school, and he looks
forward to helping the school into another
century.

Tliis year Tempera Et M ores has dedicated the Centennial edition
to two caring and devoted ladies, Mrs. Jessie W. Hoffman (Left) and
Mrs. Gladys H. Katrausky (Right). Each one has left her own imprint
on the school.
Mrs. Katrausky, also known as Mrs. K or the Kat, started
teaching mathematics in Wardlaw in 1958. After twenty-five years,
everyone will be sorry to see her leave, especially after all the
trouble we had getting Canada to give her up! Her ready command
of her subject has dazzled many students, and forced others,
confident of her methods, to continue on through treacherous
integrals and insidious derivatives. Mrs. K, impatient with students'
superstitious fears, leads them gamely through the shoals and
currents of the world mathematical.
Another exemplar of kindness in the school, is Mrs. Hoffman,
iS
S p S i
:. 'v >-1 « sSi S ',

■®SSB
whom a few of this year’s seniors had as their first grade teacher.
She has been teaching for sixteen years, bringing her Wardlaw
experience to Hartridge as well, after the merger. The patience and
versatility exhibited in the elementary school still served us well.
Today Mrs. Hoffman helps students overcome learning dissabilities or
dyslexias and is a familiar figure in our halls. Both ladies are more
than just teachers, they are graceful representatives of the Old
School. Stern in their demands, each takes an interest in the
individual student by giving a reprimand when needed, and yet a
kind word when deserved. Their deep concern for the students and
their education shows the pupil that it is love prompting the rigor,
and their kindness is a gift freely given. This kind of caring for
students is difficult to find, and anyone who has known either of
these ladies in indeed a lucky person. 29

FACULTY
The core of any school’s academic
power lies in the caliber of the faculty
force. The veteran members, some of
whom date back to before the merger,
exude their experience while every
year new methods and ideas infiltrate
the ranks with the addition of fresh
and eager staff. The combination of
innovation and time-honored rituals
have obviously reaped bountiful results
as attested by the senior class acceptance
rate and the number of prestigious
college names in the final attendance
list.
Every student leaves high school
with permanent memories of that incredibly
tough teacher or that one special
tutor who first broke the mental
bloc previously believed immovable.
Perhaps a scent of flowers or tobacco,
the flash of a certain pair of glasses,
the sound of a distinctive voice remain
locked indelibly associated among the
impressions retained in every student’s
mind. These special teachers
are the ones who spark the flicker of
interest in a youthful intellect that
later burst into the flame of lifelong
fascination.

Class Of 1983

A day in the life of a senior at W-H holds a
number of ups and downs. During the course of the
day, you may find seniors doing a variety of things,
from studying diligently in the classroom, to
bumming piggy back rides from teachers.
As the seniors start arriving at school, if they’re
smiling, you better watch out) and if they’re
frowning, they’ve been cramming till 3 A.M., so stay
out of their way. Seniors sometimes take their
frustrations out on those lowliest creatures:
underclassmen. Usually when you’re walking down
the halls, you will come upon some senior who has
just had it, and has decided to 'cool out.’ On a
typical day, you can also find a group of seniors
devouring the remarkable cuisine served the the
'Guess Your Best Food Service.’
One can always tell when it is the end of the
school day because the seniors, always eager to set
examples for the rest of the school, are at their
lockers at 2:45, and spend the final fifteen minutes
fitting their books and their bodies into their cars,
impatiently awaiting the liberating bell which tells
them they’ve made it through another fun-filled day.

Invictus
Out o f the night that covers me.
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch o f circumstances
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings o f chance
M y head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place o f wrath and tears
Looms but the horrors o f the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
Flow charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master o f my fate
I am the captain o f my soul.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember
what peace there may be in silence -
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans -
Keep interested in your own career, however
humble, it is a real possession in the changing
fortunes of time.
- Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you
conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors
and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life
keep peace with your soul.
- With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming Home
Along the road
your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Darkness obscures the trail
Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forbade
Moments o f rest
Glimpses o f laughter
Are treasured along the road
Along the road
Your steps my stumble
Your thoughts may start to stray
But through it all a heart
held humble
level and rights your way
Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part o f the heart
is lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road.

Only one step farther to the door.
There ain't no feelin', feels the same as
find in' out the key
Now I'm reelin', thinking o f the things that
I might see.
I'm not afraid to face the light
I'm not afraid to think that I might fall.

Be kindly Wanderer through this Garden's ways.
Nor let thine indignation prompt thy Hand to Cast
Revengeful Stones.
Because perchance on Imperfection thou hast found
Some flower laid low or warn
Some tree Bearing no Fruit,
Some scene o'erwrought.
Some theme my whim abhors.
Some strange defect. Thy skill would ne'er let be,
The Gardener toiled to make his Garden fair,
Most for thy Pleasure.

Why should we
be in such
desperate haste to succeed
and in such

If a man does not keep pace

perhaps it is because

Let him step in the music

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is
ignorance, that initiation is suicide, that he must take himself for better or for worse as his
portion, that though the wide universe is full o f good, no kernel o f nourishing corn can come to
him but through his toil bestowed on the plot o f ground which is given to him to till.

We were talking — about the space
Between us all
And the people — who hide themselves
Behind a wall o f illusions
Never glimpse the truth — then it's far
too
Late — then they pass away
We were talking — about the love we all
Could share — when we find it
To try our best to hold it there — with
our love
With our love — we could change the
world —
If they only knew.
Try to realize it's all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small.
And life flows on within you and without
you.
We were talking — about the love that's
Gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul —
They don't know — they can’t see — are
you
One of them?
When you’ve seen beyond yourself —
Then you find a peace o f mind is
Waiting there —
And the time will come when you will see
We're all one.
And life flows on within you and without
you.

O ver many a quaint and curious volume of

While I nodded, nearly napping,
Suddenly there came a-tapping.

Rapping at my chamber door.

tapping at my chamber dooronly

charm to our beloved W-Ff, as long as the
administration allows it tol

Just as a good book must come to an
end, so must a chapter in our lives at
W-H. All of us have started as
freshmen together, and oddly enough,
some of us have been here eleven,

we will all graduate together. The
senior class of 1983 proudly wishes the
class of 1984 "GOOD LUCK” and fondly
bid W-H a "FAREWELL.”

UNDERCLASS
The years from ninth to eleventh
grade can be long and tedious, though
they make up the most important part
of a student’s academic record. The
grades received by the student during
these crucial years are seen by the
soon-to-be applied to colleges, and so
carry a special weight. The outstanding
academic program at Wardlaw-
Hartridge helps prepare students to
enter colleges of their choice although
so much excellence can be exhausting.
Fortunately, the underclass at Wardlaw-Hartridge
combine studies with
fun time and sports. Many are dedicated
to extra-curricular activities
and the athletic program which helps
to brighten the long hours of study.
Guided by the high-caliber staff at
Wardlaw-Flartridge, the underclass
are molded into responsible students.
The underclass have goals to achieve.
Although the hurdle from the ninth
grade to the junior year, is giant, the
jump from junior to senior becomes
just another step in the course of high
school for them.

CLUBS
Wardlaw Hartridge offers a wide
variety of clubs for all members of the
upper school student body. From the
audio-visual club to the yearbook staff,
the clubs offer extra-curricular activities
for students.
Many students who are not in any
sports programs dedicate their time to
the clubs to which they belong. Being
the editor of the yearbook or the Beacon
certainly requires a lot of output
upon the part of the student, both in
time and knowledge.
Clubs also teach students leadership.
Many students strive to be a
president of a club, but others are satisfied
in just belonging to a club, and
playing an active part as a member.
In a small school like Wardlaw Flartridge,
students get a big chance to
participate in clubs. Clubs play an important
part on a students’ academic
record. Colleges are impressed by the
fact that a student bothered to do
something constructive during his or
her spare time. All students are encouraged
to participate in the clubs
program.

Politicians in modern America have
been subject to vilification and abuse
from the Viet Nam War to the Watergate
Scandal to the Buford Coverup. Student
Council at W-H is no exception, having
suffered through early frustrations to
reach a successful conclusion to the year.
Always in the difficult situation of mediating
between the administration and the
student body, the Council must be composed
of diplomats and statespeople as
well as firebrands and radicals, and this
group met the bill.
Under the leadership of Jill Kenny, the
Council helped to provide a forum for
such important student issues as dress
code and senior lounge. The patch of blue
in the hallway is a tribute to Council activism,
as is the new clarity in the Student
Handbook concerning clothing. The
Student Council joined in efforts to keep
the cafeteria clean by use of financial
incentives, a noble if marginally successful
enterprise.
The Council regained its stride in arranging
the Valentine’s Day dance and a
well-executed Carnation Day. Certainly
this year’s Student Council showed spirit,
and carried on the proud tradition of student
government at W-H.

What cheers the heart like the wings of
song? What binds the hoops of friendship
tighter than lifting voice in common measure?
What stirs the silence of passing
time and quiets the churlish cotillion of
its passing like a sweet, sweet ballad?
The love of music and the joy of voices
have always been appreciated and cultivated
at Wardlaw and at Hartridge.
While today, in a busy time and in a larger
school, we have several choruses and a
band, in former times the Glee Club was
the center for singing souls, whose concentration,
if nothing else, can still be
noted in the photographs. W-H may, as
time revolves on itself again, find students
gathering 'round a piano, singing
the old school song.

This year’s Varsity Singers under the
leadership of Mr. Frederick Fischer has
undergone a number of changes. This is
Mr. Fischer’s first year at Wardlaw-Flartridge
and he has created new interest
and enthusiasm in the music department.
In the past. Varsity Singers has always
been a very small group, but this year we
have the biggest group in Wardlaw Hartridge
history. Some of the pieces performed
included Fugue in C minor, Holy
Night, I Write the Songs, and Alleluia. This
year, for the first time, many of the
pieces were accompanied by members of
the band. By combining the talents of the
band and the singers Mr. Fischer managed
to produce two more-than-successful
concerts this year, and we can look
forward to many more in the future.

This year’s Chorale has certainly produced
one of the best musical Christmas
concerts in W-H’s history. Students have
enjoyed a varied program of singing accompanied
by several different instruments,
thanks to our new musical teacher
Mr. Fischer. Highlights of the Christmas
concert included Sidney Duncan playing
the flute with fifty singing Chorale members
as well as Macada McMullen tap
dancing to a Broadway medley, sung by
the 8th grade chorus.
The Chorale incorporates grades 10th
through 12th and the 9th grade chorus
too. This formidable group sang "December
Child”, "Jazz Gloria” and many
more songs. The Spring concert was another
accomplishment of the Chorale,
which sang "Hallelujah”, "Parsley, Sage,
Rosemary and Thyme,” and "What the
World Needs Now is Love”. In addition to
the Chorale, Mr. Fischer also ran the
spring musical smash "Guys and Dolls”.
Fie has, without a doubt, been an asset to
the W-H school.
The music department has been very
successful this year because of Mr.
Fischer’s leadership and the students’ involvement.
Hopefully we can all look forward
to an equally harmonic and rhythmic
season next year.

This year’s band, under the direction
of Mr. Sutor, is larger and more diverse
than it has been in previous years. The
musicians comprising the band are evenly
distributed throughout the grade levels
in the upper school. Instruments played
by the band members range from trumpet
and flute to timpani, sousaphone and orchestral
bells. Because of its advancements
in technique and ability the band
could perform Chariots of Fire by Vangelis
at the holiday concert. This spring the
band performed an arrangement of Moussorgsky’s
Pictures from an Exhibition and
Alvamar Overture by James Barnes. The
overture is the hardest and longest piece
the band has ever played. As Mr. Sutor
stated, "I am extremely impressed with
this year’s band.” Some band members
accompanied the Chorale in its performance
and played at the graduation in
June.

The Wardlaw-Hartridge Drama Club
has been acknowledging the school’s
Centennial by celebrating the past
while it enjoyed the present. It was a
year when contacts were renewed
with cast members who had participated
in productions which stretch
back over our years on Inman Avenue.
Names like Holly Delanoy from The
Young Elizabeth, Joe Abrams who was
in All My Sons or Mary Beth Fisher
from the cast of Anastasia. Other
faces brought back memories of other
productions .......... Tom Glasser in
Bang, Bang Beruiti Mo Conti in The
Diary of Anne Frank-, Frank Reda and
Gina Kazimir in Crown Matrimonial)
Bob Muccilli in Sunrise at Campabello
and Martin McDougall in Charley's
Aunt. The title of Wardlaw-Hartridge
productions, and the names of the people
who worked in them, seemed endless.
But they all conspired to set the
tone and the standards for the current
members of the Drama Club in their
production of My Three Angels, whose
cast included Jeremy Eisenberg> Ruth
McDougall, Susan Sweetwood) Alex
Helanden David Russ and Nolis Arkoulakis.
And the director of all these productions
was and remains Alexander
McDougall.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
Although it is one of the lesser known
and more select groups in W-H, the National
Honor Society fulfills several functions
in the school. As its name implies,
the W-H NHS is actually a branch of a
nationwide organization, comparable to
the Key Club. Every year, juniors are selected
by the faculty on the basis of academic
record and personal character. As
seniors, these students form an active
core of the following year’s NHS, although
more seniors are inducted into the society
at graduation.
In the beginning of this year, the seven
NHS members held officer elections under
the supervision of faculty advisor
Mrs. McMullen. Seven positions varying
from Secretary to Historian were created
in a burst of goodwill so that all members
would possess a title after their names.
To increase autonomy, the purchase of
sweaters bearing the society monogram
was discussed along with several fundraising
proposals.
However, the most important practical
function served by this organization is
the tutoring program. Students experiencing
academic difficulty can speak either
with a society member or contact
Mrs. McMullen, and tutoring sessions are
organized with a member who is free during
the same periods. More often than
not, all the involved students benefit
from the relationship as can be attested
by improved grades and satisfied accounts
by tutors.
HALL PATROL
The hall patrol is a group of students
who volunteer their time between classes
to keep the halls in order. Though others
believe that they took the job "just to get
out of class" the true hall patroller is
dedicated to his/her duties. Their main
concerns are to keep the halls spotlessly
clean and to eradicate loitering in the
halls. The patrollers have carried out this
great responsibility admirably although
this was only their second year in existence.
The hall patrol performs an invaluable
service during the hectic inter-period
minutes of the school day. Various methods
are used by the hall patrollers to enforce
rules. Senior Karen Lomnitz relies
on the guilt trip, while senior Alex Helander,
leader of the "B” deck patrollers,
uses violence to keep his deck in order.

The stage crew, headed by Mrs. Ina
Mahoney (Pollack), was responsible for
building the sets for the play 'My Three
Angels’ and the musical 'Guys and Dolls’.
The stage crew’s work is essential to the
success of both the drama club and the
music department. The stage crew put in
a lot of time and effort in building and
preparing the sets.
A stage crew meets every day after
school to turn plywood, cardboard, and
canvas into the realistic sets used in the
play and the musical. Members not only
build the sets, but also control the lighting,
curtains and special effects during
the performances.
Although they themselves go unseen,
the stage crew deserves as much recognition
as the performers themselves.

between W-H and the district nc headquarters. The
club received admonitory letters and was virtually
dropped from the international organization.
But with president Joel Sorger leading the way,
the club’s charter was restored. However, many
of the club’s members were left shocked and
stunned.
Nevertheless, the Key Club did take part in
some worthwhile causes this year. In conjunction
with the Red Cross, the Club ran the annual blood
drive, as well as aiding the Red Cross in a fundraising
drive. In addition. Key Club helped in the
Star Fish Thanksgiving food drive. On the other
hand, some of the Club’s efforts were purely for
fun. They did take their annual trip to Great Adventure,
and rumor has it that several members
were eligible candidates for the Key Club $1.98

Club has made this a fruitful year and marches
soundly into the future at W-H.

Chess is an absolutely grueling
game. It is a fierce psychological battle
between two combatants who must
combine patience, a sharp mind, and
the killer instinct in order to succeed.
One must possess the ability to manipulate
complex operations, retain abstract
gambits, and deploy logical conundrums,
all within the confines of
the mind. The Chess Club presented
here displays these qualities and others.
Within the chambers of Wardlaw-
Hartridge, this club not only held no
meetings but did not even possess a
chessboard. Despite these drawbacks,
President Mike Beberman, utilizing a
winning strategy, was able to corner
the sophisticated Tempora et Mores
staff into allowing a club picture to be
done and then rooked them into picturing
the author of the checkmate.
However, in the club’s last meeting,
two students did compete for the
championship (of seniors who had
third period free).

The development club welcomes
students of all ages to join their ranks
in the Development Office. Anyone
with a free period can contribute
his/her manual dexterity to perform
such mundane but essential tasks as
stuffing envelopes or assembling the
pages of the Beacon. The beauty of
this type of work is that it frees the
mind and tongue whilst occupying the
digits. Thus, some of the most entertaining
converstations in the school
take place tucked away in the tiny Development
Office. Simultaneously, the
myriad office tasks essential to running
the school are efficiently completed
by the willing hands of the Development
Club.

The Health Careers Club consists of a
group of students who are interested in
pursuing careers in the health field. It is
one of the more popular and most active
groups in the school and it is open to the
juniors and seniors. Under the leadership
of Mrs. Theodora Napolitano the club has
been able to go on several informative
trips. Among these was a trip to Muhlenberg
Hospital in which the students were
made aware of the various careers available
to them in the hospital.
This presentation included a slide
show, lecture and a tour of three of the
hospital’s programs. The students found
it to be an interesting and enlightening
experience. Health Careers is one of the
more important clubs in the school because
it gives students a closer look at
the field of medicine, a vocation to which
many aspire.

The library aides are students who volunteer

material and find books, or making
sure the library is run efficiently. There
are many tasks involved in being an aide:
restoring and cataloging books, running
down obscure term paper references,
checking out books, typing, and myriad
other duties to make the library run
smoothly.
According to Mrs. LeFever "the library

Well, the Computer Age certainly has
hit W-H! The Computer Department expanded
so much this year that a whole
classroom was needed for the computers.

Mrs. Rhona Eserner, Juniors and Seniors
were offered courses in programming the
Apple II computers, as well as an IBM personal

welcomed to use the computers during
their free time — that is, if the older
students were nice enough to let theml
Because of the limited number of computers,
the program is still not as developed
as it could be. Mr. Wise continually
works to enlarge the department. The 50
computer students hardly support this,
especially when they all have programs

Learning how to write computer programs
is a worthwhile talent to learn.
When the students can balance their parents'

The Literary Magazine is a wonderful outlet
for creative students. It is a collection of
the poems, the stories, and the drawings
done throughout the year. At the end of the
school year, all students receive a copy of
the magazine, even if the staff has to stay
up the entire night before graduation to arrange
it.
Faculty advisor Barbara Gubelman continually
seeks to increase the number of students
who contribute to the Magazine. Students
are always encouraged to contribute
to this forum of ideas and images. It is one
of the unique opportunities that students
with artistic interests and abilities are offered.

The Audio-Visual Club is involved with
all functions concerning the videotape
machine. Their major duty is to tape any
sports events requested by coaches and
to play back the tapes for team viewing.
To coordinate assignments among club
members, faculty advisor Mr. Keur regularly
distributes questionnaires and calendars,
producing one of the most
prompt and efficiently run clubs in the
school.
After receiving assignments, the students
become basically independent. Unsupervised,
they are responsible for both
the A-V room keys and the safety of the
equipment. Novices work with the more
experienced members to hone their
tracking, filming, and zoom skills. Most
learn the hard way that the equipment
contains an automatic audio-recording
device that objectively retains the oaths
uttered feelingly close to the machine,
and replays them for the reviewing
sports teams. Many have vivid recollections
of working on the tower swaying in
a freezing wind to tape field hockey
games, while others remember the time
the machine obstinately refused to record,
stumping even veteran filmers, until
Mr. Keur was summoned and plugged in a
cord. While providing an entertaining
and educational experience, the A-V club
welcomes any number of new people,
male or female, as long as they are eager
to learn the basics of motion filming and
are willing to spend a few late afternoons
at school to gain firsthand experience.

Skiing is an exhilarating sport that is
popular among all ages, and the W-H Ski
Club supports itself through member
partcipation, although guided by faculty
advisors Mr. Evan Peterson and Dr. Les
Rudnyanszky. In January the Ski Club
headed for Mount Snow for some aftermid-term
relaxation. Little did they know
that their weekend trip would be extended
another day by a blizzard that
dumped three feet of snow!
This spring the Ski Club was at it again,
this time going up to Killington, Vermont.
The trip, however, had been extended
from one weekend to an entire week. As
stated a ski club member, "The fun thing
about going on the skiing trip is that you
are able to go with your friends from
school.” The few stragglers who did not
want to go on the domestic trip to Killington
chose instead to spend their week in
Innsbruck, Austria, the famed ski capital
of the world. There they were under the
supervision of Mr. Peterson. But as some
of the skiers stated, "It does not matter
where you ski, as long as you ski-the longer
the better.”

Once a month a group of journalistic
geniuses put out a production containing
lively lead stories, captivating columns,
fascinating features, ample athletic
accounts, and editorials with a
strong stand. This presentation is The
Beacon, and whether you scan one story
and proceed to throw the paper on
the floor, or whether you are deeply
enthralled by each offering from front
to finish, the newspaper is put together
thoughtfully and carefully under the
guidance of advisor Robert Paoli. From
the school’s Centennial events to lower
School news, from profiles of seniors
to junior sports, if there is a story,
the Beacon newsbreakers will be there
to cover it. Pleaded by news editors
Sean McMullen and Joy Butler, sports
editor Rudy Brandi, and photo editor
David Holtzman, the staff continues
its unusually high standards of journalism.

FORM 111 NEWSPAPER
At different times in previous years, boys at
Wardlaw have produced the "Wardiawsun” , a
school newspaper. This year the boys of Form 111
decided that they would like to produce a school
paper. They secured the help of Mr. Chickering
and put out the first copy of the "Grapevine” . As
the yearbook goes to press, arrangements are
being made for the production of a second copy.
This was the first experience for many boys in
newspaper work, and they are to be commended
on a fine job.
The newspaper staff also started the unique
idea of a suggestion box in the front hall and
through their efforts had the lunch period extended
five minutes.
"Hue And C ry”

during the sixties, the i r tht photographer,
or photo-journalist, has been
one of glamour, danger, and sophistication.
The darkroom crew at W-H reflects
this same dashing spirit. While Major
"Mad Max” Munzel trains young cadres
in the basic techniques of rolling, shooting,
and printing, the experienced senior
staff flies off to far-away locations) the
tennis courts, the Lower School, the
Pingry School, to bring back pictures of
exotic places and intriguing people.
Led by the ever alert Dave Holtzman
and the ace flight crew of K. Munzel, T.
Stirrup, and Kid-Flash Charlie Daniels,
this year’s staff amazed everyone with
the espirit and speed with which they
produced high-quality photographs. Aided
by mercenary J. Grahill and sufficient
doses of coca-cola, yodels, and dexatrim,
the very atmosphere of the publications
room crackled with energy. Next year’s
recruits will have to struggle to match the
panache of the dauntless darkroom demons.
In all seriousness, Senior Editor David
Holtzman was only threatened once with
being made "shorter than you’ve ever
been before.” He did win the race to finish
the yearbook before being suspended,
expelled, or killed barely. As one looks
through the pages of Tempora et Mores
one sees the results of Dave’s and the
crew’s exploits. Well donel
«
il
Also, special notice should be paid to
Mr. Phillip Berkebile, who, without the admiration
of the uninitiated, persevered
another year in doing all the dirty work
for photo club and advisor alike. Seen
here in the typical posture of explaining
the realities of shooting forty-five Health
Careers Club members in one office, Mr.
Berkebile has been an angel in wolfs
clothing.

Tempora Et Mores is not only a yearbook
filled with pretty pictures and interesting
copy, but it is also a record that records the
1982-1983 school year of W-H.
Members of the yearbook staff are responsible
for taking pictures, writing copy, doing
artwork, and designing the overall layout of
each and every page. This is not an easy task
since this yearbook not only covers this year
but also the 99 years prior, after all, it is a
centennial album! A special note should be added
that if it were not for the photography
club, this book would never have been published.
This year’s staff was supervised and aided
by Richard E. Brown while the Editor-in-chief
was Todd S. Pogosky. Both worked relentlessly
making plans to make the book a unique one.
Several times, Mrs. Kinney’s room could be
found with floor two to three inches thick with
paper and photos, yet was miraculously clean
by the next morning, except for the occassional
picture of a horse drawn on the blackboard.
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night
stayed the staff from working on this book. It
was not uncommon for angry parents to phone
or storm the school looking for their long- lost
children, only to find them wandering between
the pub, Mrs. Kinney’s room, or the bathroom.
All in all, working on the Tempora Et Mores
staff is an experience that will last forever in
the memories of those who shared in this mysterious
cult. No one will ever know the hidden
exploits, except for the elect few. A fitting
close, no doubt, to a century of yearbooks, and
a resonant moment shared with our predecessors.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Wardlaw Hartridge Middle
School consists of the seventh and
eighth grades. These two years are
years of transition from the lower
school to the high school life of the
upper school.
Seventh grade is a student’s last
year at the lower school campus. The
student is part of the oldest group of
students at the lower school and is
looked up to by their lower class school
mates. But when the student enters
eighth grade, he is immediately on the
bottom of the ladder-being the youngest
in the upper school.
The change from lower school to the
upper school is very gradual for the
middle school. In seventh grade students
begin to switch classes and play
some sports in the upper school. They
get a taste of the busy high school life.
Eighth graders get a seven period
academic day instead of the eight period
high school day. They get the
small lockers on the far end of the "C”
floor and are sometimes pushed
around by the older school body. But
these two tough years of transition
help mold the student into a durable,
responsible and a contributing member
of the upper school campus.

Eighth Grade
Chorus %
Class Officers
The singing members of the W-H
eighth grade form a separate group in
themselves. This Eighth Grade Chorus
provides yet another transitional step
between the Lower School with its
chorus system and the high-powered
Upper School program of Chorale and
Varsity Singers. Although it is small,
this group produces a surprisingly varied
and professional sound, thanks to
the sympathetic instruction of Mr.
Frederick Fischer. As manifested in
the winter and spring concerts, the
students have learned to sing not only
strong melodies but also muted complementary
harmonic tones that create
a deceptively smooth effect. Their
skills, learned this year, will undoubtedly
stand these young people in good
stead when they pursue careers in
chorale and musicals later during
their high school years.

GOBLIN GALLOP
For many years the students have been
competing with the faculty in such sports
as soccer, field hockey, and volleyball,
but this year a new event was added - the
goblin gallop. Unlike team sports where
skill is more important than conditioning,
success in this endeavor was determined
solely by who was in the best shape.
Thus, such classic individual challenges
as Keur vs. Holtzman were fairly resolved,
mostly in favor of the one possessing the
longer legs, e.g. Keur. Degrees of participatory
enthusiasm varied: the only female
athletes who competed represented
the student contingent) Mr. Brown
slogged on gamely past budding condominiums,
symbols of civilized advancement
and affluence; Mr. Ayres revealed
his admirable racewalking style some
(Docl) actually finished-, some (Senor) did
not even try to begin. But, the surprise
winner was a wiry sophomore named
Hagstoz, whose unexpectedly powerful
closing sprint overtook would-be crosscountry
students and has-been harrier
faculty alike. Can the faculty regain their
dominance over youth? Tune in next year

SENIOR/FACULTY
SOCCER GAME.
With all of the pageantry of the Rose
Bowl and most of the competitiveness of
a dogfight, the seniors and faculty met on
the soccerfield for 80 minutes of fierce
battle. Having acquired international
stars Carlos Castro, Werner Brandi and
Esteban Lomnitz, the faculty took the
field with confidence. However, they had
to deal with a senior squad filled with
spirit, energy and, most importantly,
young blood. And, in the game, it was the
seniors who drew first blood, as Brian
Flynn hammered home the game’s first
goal. However, the faculty came back
with a goal by Carlos Castro. With the
game deadlocked at l-l, the second half
was scoreless due to faultless play by
both goalkeepers. Finally, the game was
called on account of darkness, leaving
nothing settled. However, every participant
left the field feeling like a winner,
the reward of an afternoon of competition
and hard work in "The Big Game.”

LOWER SCHOOL
The Wardlaw-Hartridge Lower
School, consisting of kindergarten to
sixth grade, is where the student
starts to learn the basic skills. While
primary grade lessons are much the
same everywhere, the youngsters
learn the importance of being welldressed
in uniforms, eating community
meals and developing good social
habits. As the children enter the elementary
level, the skills become more
specialized and they begin to prepare
for both high school and college.
Life at the Lower School is not all
work, as the children play on tire jungle
gyms and run around the fields. An
annual field day, mix-match day and
talent shows allow the kids to be wild
and escape the confines of the classroom.
With the aid of a dedicated
staff, the Lower Schoolers enter the
middle and upper schools well prepared
for the exciting and challenging
years ahead. As they grow older, to
them days seem to be just normal, but
to the older and wiser students they
are viewed as those "adorable brats.”

SPORTS
Sports are a vital part of the school,
not only because they physically tone
students, but because they give the
school publicity through the newspapers.
Sports emphasize team efforts, thus
working with other people becomes
necessary. Whether a person is a
starter or a third string player he or
she is part of a team which is the most
important part.
Excelling in sports becomes very important
to juniors and seniors because
many colleges look at a student’s athletic
background when considering him
or her for acceptance.
Sports require players to strive for
personal goals: to be a member of that
varsity team, to be appointed to an allstate
team, to be the BEST.

Varsity Football
The Varsity Football team got off to a slow start this
year because it had to train a new quarterback, Greg
Tirpak. As he got stronger, so did the team. Their
record improved from 0-2 to 6-2.
The success of the last six games of the season was
due to the fine running of the backs, Vinnie Venezia,
co-captain Dave Flail, Dave Ring, Jeff Tirpak and
Dwight Giles, the fine blocking of the Linemen, and, of
course, the fine coaching of Messrs. Shello, Kern, Anderson,
and Head Coach Graham. The other factor that
made this year’s team a success was that each member
was able to play two or three different positions offensively
and defensively. This ability added depth to a
twenty-man squad.
This year’s team also placed 5 players on the All-
League B Team of the Prep Schools: Co-captains Bruce
Lackland and Dave Hill, Irv Greene, Brian Culp, and Jeff
Tirpak. "I am extremely proud of the accomplishments
that the team has made this year,” said Coach Graham.
The tradition of being proud of the team is a long one
at Wardlaw. Over the years, the gridiron has provided
a constant experience for many young men, a way to
relate to the once and future graduates of the school.
And, of course, the many winning seasons attest to
quality of that bond between young men.

Bruce Lackland has played Varsity football for
the past four years and has started every game. In
addition, he has been named to the all-League and
all-State teams for the last three years. As an
offensive and defensive tackle he performed so
well that he received the award for best offensive
lineman.
According to Coach Graham, "Bruce is able to
play at least forty-eight minutes per game and has
been cited as a mainstay of his team.” Quiet and
tough and recognized as a true team leader, he
was named co-captain for the 1982 season.
Bruce Lackland
II
David Hall
A spectacular and effective defensive player,
David has played Varsity football for four years.
Despite many injuries this year he had 50 tackles,
6 quarterback sacks, one interception, a recovery
of 2 fumbles, ran 193 yards and carried the ball 21
times in a 6 game season. David gets along with all
of the players and helped to inspire his teammates.
"He is a good team leader,” said Coach
Phil Graham, and "he was elected co-captain by
the team members.” His skill and ability have
earned him the selection to the all-area "B” league
defensive back and All-State. He was an outstanding
all around player and the Wardlaw-Hartridge
football team will miss him next year.
One of the leading players on the Wardlaw-
Hartridge football team is Dave Ring an offensive
halfback, and, this year, a defensive noseguard.
He has been a great asset to the team this year
because of his speed and agility. It is because of
those qualities that coach Phil Graham promoted
him to the position of noseguard this season. During
this extremely short six game season, Dave
carried the ball 16 times for a total of 46 yards,
had 26 tackles and a fumble recovery. Dave has
done a remarkable job this season.

Varsity Field Hockey
Teamwork was the trademark for this year’s field
hockey team, the result of many years of interaction
and experience among the varsity players. With many
members sporting four-year varsity records, and led by
co-captains Maria Wilson and Jill Kenny dedication to
the team ran high. From pre-season drudgery through
the mid-season slump, the team always "continues to
fight on” as one player aptly stated, and finally bounded
back to produce a winning season with victories
against public schools like South Brunswick and Monroe,
as well as a tie score against longtime rival Kent
Place. The Rams ultimately took the Division B Championship
for 1982, after which they took their coach and
co-captains into the showers. Looking back, "We
peaked at just the right time,” commented Wilson.
High Scorer was Ria Wilson, with 23 goals, and forward
Julie "Cas” Casagrande led in season assists.
Strong defensive support was provided by Jill Kenny,
Karen Robinson, and Kim Perkins. First year varsity
goalie Ellen Bart finished the season with 5 shutouts
and strong performances during penalty flicks. Team
members honored with All-State titles include both cocaptains
Wilson and Kenny, Casagrande, Perkins, Robinson,
and Bart. Since most of the starting lineup will
graduate this spring, W-H can look forward to seeing
many new faces on varsity next fail.

The quiet player on this year’s Varsity Field
Flockey Team, would have to be Masako Shimamura.
Although quiet she was very aggressive.
She always seemed to appear at the right place at
the right time to set up good defensive plays.
"Masako has played left full back on the team for
the past two years, and has done a masterful job
of it, according to Coach Kern. For all of her hard
work this year, Masako was awarded the Outstanding
Defensive Player trophy.
A four year veteran of the Varsity Field Hockey
team is Karen Robinson. She not only has been a
good defensive player for all of those years but
has added a lot of laughter to the team. She will
always be remembered as one of its characters.
For the past two years Karen has played Center
Middle so well that she has made the All State
Team in the B division of the Independent Schools
both years. To quote Coach Donna Kern, "Karen
was a really tough defensive player.”
Karen Robinson
Although this is Ellen Bart’s first year on Varsity
Field Hockey, she has done a tremendous job as
goalie. With 5 shut out games this season, she also
stopped 3 penalty strokes during the second
_ round of the state tournament. A very dedicated
player, she never missed a pre-season practice
and was a regular at the season practices. For her
dedication and hard work this year she received
the Coach’s Award, and Coach Kern’s citation
"Ellen has done a fine job this year.”

A CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON
Two weeks before school, scorching hot,
Cars start to fill up the parking lot.
Little by little, one by one,
On the soccer field we start to run and run and run . and
run.
Ten o’clock came, then it was twelve,
The sun was making our heads swell.
Sweating and swooning, hating the coach,
Somebody yells "Let’s go to lunch,”
Thinking it was over, hoping to go home.
Miss Kern says, "Hurry back, girls, see you at one,
This hocky practice has just begun!”
Wanting to kill her, maybe throw her in the woods,
We headed out for Burger King to eat some goods*
Returning, just a little late, wondering what was in store:
Miss Kern enthusiastic, "Let’s run some more.”
Well, at 4:30 all other teams having long since gone home,
The field hockey team walked, no, crept, maybe I should say
crawled up to the locker room.
It’s the day before school and who should show up
But our long-lost captain, er, what’s her name -Kenny.
Haven’t seen her all summer, what nervel!
Anyway at last the gang’s all here,
All ready for a terrific year.
It’s the Oak Knoll game
And who should get hurt?
Cas the Spas cuts her eye,
Miss Kern says, "Later, you guys,
Maria and Jill, coach the J.V.'s
Julie and I are off to hospital
to pick up M.D.’s.
I must commend Maria and Jill,
Their expertise just fills the bill:
Organized and in control,
The J.V. wins.
We load the bus and say, (I quote)
"Put the pedal to metal* Vince, we’re kind of late,
Besides, Jill Kenny’s got a hot date.”
It’s the counties’ semi-final at Donaldson Park:
Most of the team arrives at eleven
For the one o’clock game
Except for a dear and reliable two.
I won’t mention their names, but, Lisa and Kim,
The scare that you gave us was pretty grim.
Let’s go to the finals against haughty Hun,
W-H is on the run.
Cas the Spas
Strides again:
Running down the field she slips and falls,
Her skirt flies up as she hits the ball.
This wouldn’t have been too embarrassing
If fifty fans hadn’t stood there laughing.
Anyway, we’re down a goal
When Maria Wilson finds the hole.
It’s overtime and no one’s won,
We want flicks, the refs say none
So we share the championship with Hun.

Varsity Soccer
The varsity soccer team had a slow start this year
but improvement came with each game. By the end of
the season the team was playing good, controlled soccer.
The teams 6-8-1 record obscures its good points.
Because the squad was completely new, it took hard
work and a lot of getting used to each other before
they could play well. High points of the season were the
homecoming game in which the Rams shocked themselves
and their opponents by beating Morristown
Beard, a team seeded far ahead of the Rams, and the
final game in which the Rams upset Montclair Kimberly,
also seeded higher.
This year’s team was led by Alex Helander and Dave
Lombardi, the leading goal scorer and the outstanding
defensive player, respectively. Coach Freeman summarizes
the season, "It was a totally new squad from last
year. We did a lot of developing in a lot of areas. We
developed some of goals-better defense and toward
the end of the season, better offenses. We improved
with work and began to control the ball which was
evident in the games against Metuchen High School and
Montclair-Kimberly. This success came directly from
the efforts of the team members.”

A newcomer to this year’s Varsity Soccer Team
was senior Jeff Friedlander. He played left full back
very aggressively. He improved his soccer skills this
year and was an asset to the team defense. His
teammates describe him as "A very dedicated player
who really tries.” Coach Freeman was extremely
impressed by Jeff’s playing as well as by his attitude
towards the team.
Jeff Friedlander
DAVID LOMBARDI
One of the three seniors profiled for Varsity
Soccer in this year’s yearbook is David Lombardi.
A co-captain of the team as well as a regular
starting varsity player, he has played sweeper on
the team for the past 3 years and has been named
to the Independent School All State Team for 2
.years running.
"David is a great asset to the team,” stated
coach Freeman. "He is totally dedicated to the
team and one of the easiest players I’ve had to
coach.” This year David was awarded the MVP
award.
Alex Helander led the varsity soccer team as
co-captain this season, capping four years’ playing
for the Rams, two years on junior varsity and
two on varsity. He was the leading goal scorer
this year. "Alex did very well this year as cocaptain.
He always put in a lot of effort and determination
which had an extremely positive effect
on the rest of the team. He was instrumental in
several goals which helped to win several games,”
' says Coach Freeman of Alex. Always supportive
of the rest of the team, keeping spirits high when
things looked low, Alex received the Coaches’
award this season.

CROSS-COUNTRY
Coach Ralph Muoio stares into the sunset
dreaming of his runners crossing the finish
line. The team had promise entering this year.
Three outstanding seniors were to return from
last year. However, record-breaking Andy Adams
was struck down by mononucleosis and,
thus, was forced to turn to the scholarly life.
Jeff Stern and Eric Eckert became the "Runners
without a Team.” When the two lost their
competitive season, they lost their competitive
edge. First went the limbs; next went the
lungs; finally, the shorts and running shoes
themselves became decrepit. Thus, these colleg-bound
seniors lost their concentration,
their desire, and the Goblin Gallop.
Coach Muoio can dream only of former glory
as he gazes over his clipboard. While everything
recedes into the past, he ponders a disheartening
future —

CHEERLEADERS
This year’s cheerleading squad was coached
primarily by its Co-Captains, Meg Samek and
Becky Orlowski. Their job was to wake spirit in
the spectators, but more importantly, their chief
responsibility was to cheer the teams on. "The
squad has improved a hundred per cent from last
year,” exclaimed Co-Captain Meg Samek. To a
cheerleader, the most critical quality is spirit, and
with this year’s team we could hear it.
Even the spectators have noticed the great improvement
of this year’s relatively young cheerleading
squad. "It was great to have the cheerleaders
at the games to cheer for us, especially
when we didn’t have much of a crowd,” noted one
varsity basketball player. The students of W-H, a
notoriously demanding audience, no longer think
of the cheerleaders as a "joke” organization, but
as the real bearers of the spirit of Wardlaw-Hartridge.

Varsity Swimming
Coach Charles Brown and the merpeople faced a big
challenge: How do we pull a winning season while missing
most of last year’s top scorers? Ape, Guppy, Lisa,
Patti, Margarita and the rest showed the way — a
youth movement! Under the steady leadership of Captain
Julie Casagrande, and the madcap rantings of the
second-year coach, this year’s workouts toughened up,
and so did the team.
The result? Last year 4-8, this year 7-7. "If the season
had gone longer, we would have won more,” said Coach
Brown, struggling to have a cancelled meet rescheduled.
Additions to the team like strong freshman Tom
Murray, MVP swimmer, and Patti Wysock only galvanized
existing standouts like Lisa Minard and Marcel
Lissinna placed, this year three swimmers did. The
team as a whole also did well in the states.
The future? Bright! Most of this year’s best swimmers
are freshmen and sophomores, both they and the
coach will come back with more experience, more enthusiasm,
and more to shoot for — a winning season,
next year. The personalities, Karl "The Ram” Munzel,
Mark "Muscles” Petrocelli, Charles, "Chuck” Brown,
the pool, the spirit, next year could be the Year of the
Sharks.

Julie "Cas” Casagrande, the only senior girl,
was a very important part of this year’s Varsity
Swimming Team. She has been known as a very
dedicated swimmer, often the only one from her
class to go out for this demanding sport. "If every
swimmer were as devoted as Cas, we would never
have any problems,” Mr. Brown was overheard to
say. Julie’s steadiness paid off when she was
named team captain, and she was a true leader to
the merpeople. Julie’s event this year, and for the
four years she has been on Varsity, is the 500
freestyle, an event requiring endless practice and
endurance. These qualities, combined with her
unique sense of humor, are what made Julie such a
fine leader.

Boys’ Varsity
Basketball
How can one describe the state champion basketball
team? How about Terrific!, Fantastic! and Awesome! to
name just a few adjectives. This year’s team has set
school records left and right. Led by co-captains Greg
Boff and Brian Flynn they achieved a new school record
of 21-3, and they were able to win 13 of those games in a
row while holding their opponents to an average of 43
points per game. In addition they emerged as the champions
of the Dwight Englewood Tournament. But one of
the most amazing feats was their victories over
Rutgers Prep and Pennington in the States, although
they had lost to them previously during the regular
season. "This team was really a team, all of the members
worked together to make all of their wins a combined
effort.” stated Coach Ray Kovonuk, who coached
his 200th win at Wardlaw-Hartridge this year, against
Morrison-Beard. Therefore, instead of citing one most
valuable player of the year, Coach Kovonuk awarded
the MVP to the whole varsity team, comprised of Greg
Boff, Brian Flynn, David Hall, David Lombardi, Irving
Greene, Brian Culp, Tom Voder, Rob Darden, Sean
McMullen, Brad Buzzi, Mark Oberschewen, and David
Joy. With this gesture he emphasized how valuable
teamwork and coherence were in shaping one of Wardlaw-Hartridge’s
best basketball teams ever.

One of the seniors profiled in this years yearbook
for basketball is senior Irv Greene. He is a
three year veteran of the varsity team, scoring an
average of 17 points per game to compile 378
points for this season. Irv has also led the boys
varsity basketball team in scoring and in rebounding.
For all of his efforts at the Dwight Englewood
Tournament, he was named the most valuable
player of the tournament. This year was Irv’s first
year to be named to the All Star Boys Basketball
team of the B division of the Independent School
League.
IRVING GREENE
Greg Boff
Senior Greg Boff, one of the co-captains, of this
years championship basketball team is being profiled
in this years yearbook. He is a very dedicated
player, who also would drive all of the way
from Mt. Snow, in a snow storm, just to make sure
he got to a game on time. I doubt you could find
anyone that dedicated. Greg led the team this
year in assists, and he scored an average of 6
points per game, to compile 154 points for the
season. This was also Greg’s first year of being
named to the All Star Boys basketball team of the
B division of the Independent School League.
Brian Flynn a three year veteran of the varsity
boys basketball team and this years co-captain is
one of the seniors being profiled this year. He
played guard this year, and acquired the name
Mr. Defense. One of Brians jobs on the team was
to guard the best player on the opponents team.
His talents did not end at defense, he was also a
valuable asset to the team’s offense, averaging 6
points a game, to compile 145 points this season.
Brian was also a good leaper who possessed great
court presence.

The Wardlaw-Hartridge School of Edison, girls’ basketball team followed
the example of their male counterpart by advancing to the finals of the
Independent Schools B Division Tournament with a 33-23 victory over Blair
Academy of Blairstown in a semifinal game yesterday.
Junior forward Patty Feeney had 14 points to lead the Lady Rams, who
took an 11-5 first-quarter lead and never looked back. Maria Wilson, a senior
guard, added 10 points for Wardlaw. Saturday, the Rams will meet the winner
of this afternoon’s Newark Academy-Gill St. Bernard’s semifinal in Newark.

Successful has to be the word to describe the Girls’ Varsity
Basketball team. It is the first year in a while that the team
has had a winning season, in fact they almost reversed their
record from last year, from 5-10 last year to 9-6 this year. The
turn around has to be attributed to the determination of the
gutsy 12 girl squad, led by senior Maria Wilson. It was this
determination that was the driving force behind the girls
that led the girls to the state finals. "Even though we did not
capture the state championship title this year, I’m very proud
of the accomplishments that the team has made this year.”
One of those accomplishments was that the team was able to
play together as a team throughout the season.

Senior Maria Wilson the captain of the Girls
Varsity Basketball team, is being profiled this
year. She is a 4 year veteran of the squad, who has
compiled 787 points for her high school career.
She averaged 15 points per game this season, to
lead the team in scoring. Not only was she the
high scoring player, but also the leading rebounder.
Maria was the recipient of the MVP
award which she has won for the past 3 years. She
was also named to the All Star Team of the B
division of the Independent School League, another
honor which she has won for the past 3
years.

Ivy Wrestling
"This year’s Varsity Wrestling season was a character
building season, we had to learn how to lose with as much
grace and sportsmanship as we won,” stated Coach Les
Rudnyanszky. The Varsity Wrestling Team was led this
year by tri-captains Bruce Lackland, Tom Byleckie, and
Vinnie Venezia. This was the team’s second time holding
the Prep Ivy League Meet, in which the team placed third
overall. The Varsity Wrestling Team placed eighth overall
in the states though three wrestlers placed third, and they
were seniors Tom Byleckie, Vinnie Venezia, and junior
Dave Dittman. The two awards were given out at the
winter awards assembly. The MVP and the Coaches
award, which went to Vinnie Venezia and Andy Adams
respectively. The team had a lot of support and help from
its managers Elise Goldstein, Cindy Mallin, Jill Kenny, and
Jill Sorger

Senior Vinnie Venezia, tri-captain of the Varsity
Wrestling Team had an outstanding season. He
compiled an extremely impressive new school
wrestling record of 20-2 at the 122 weight class.
Vinnie placed first in the Hun Tournament, third
in the Prep Ivy League Tournament and third in
the wrestling states. He was the recipient of this
year s MVP award. "Vinnie was a very enthusiastic
wrestler, who never seemed to tire, and he
was a real leader," stated fellow wrestlers. Vinnie’s
career record on Varsity, which has been
two years, is an almost unbelievable record 44-6.
VINCENT VENEZIA
BRUCE LACKLAND
Senior Bruce Lackland is being profiled this
year, in the yearbook. He is a tri-captain of the
team, and he is also a four year veteran of the
varsity wrestling team. Weighing in this year at
188 Bruce won 16 out of his 20 matches. Wrestlers
at Bruce s weight tend to be either very good or
not so great, yet he managed consistency and a
level of skill difficult to maintain under these conditions.
Last year Bruce placed second in the
states, and this year he came in first in the Hun
tournament. Bruce is a very dedicated wrestler,
one of whom we could use more of,” stated Coach
Les Rudnyanszky.
Tom Byleckie a three year veteran of the Varsity
Wrestling Team is being profiled this year. At
the weight class of 129 he won 19 out of his 23
matches. He placed first at the Hun Tournament,
and he placed third in the state finals. Tommy is a
leader of the team and that is one of the reasons
he was bestowed the honor of being tri-captain.
Tommy was always there when we needed to
pull out a win,” stated some of his fellow
grapplers. Tom also was a "weight-loss leader” in
the famed wrestlers activity of shedding excess
pounds just prior to matches.

Varsity Volleyball
For years the sport of girl’s volleyball at W-H has
been ridiculed, although - unbeknowest to many -
that team won the state championship not so long
ago. Fiowever, when the members who comprised
that award-winning team graduated, the program
had to be rebuilt from the roots.
Despite its present reputation as a joke team, the
serious dedication of its members becomes obvious
with the fact that the starting roster has remained
virtually unchanged for the last three years. Two
years ago the arrival of Mr. Freeman, who was accustomed
to coaching champion-caliber soccer
teams, brought the final competitive spirit to the
girls. His eagerness to improve the team produced in
the girls a professional willingness to work late Monday
through Friday and during vacations in order to
overcome the handicap of regular practice periods
shortened by the necessity of driving to and from
the Lower School ,
Next year, many young and exciting players will
arise from the JV ranks to replace five graduating
seniors. Although the volleyball program needs to
develop a greater and a more coherent team, this
season proved that the girls possess the potential to
bring the state championship back to W-H soon.

The MVP of the girls’ Volleyball team chosen for two
years running was Shari Williams. Her consistent serves
and solid spikes helped the team keep a competitive edge
on the opponent throughout the matches. Although an observer
would take Shari’s abilities for granted, those behind
the scenes know she earned every skill she possesses.
In practices her constant good humor belied the sweat and
effort she invariable poured into the sport.
SHARI WILLIAMS
Eileen Conti has played volleyball for W-H since entering
the Upper School. Eileen's serve improved dramatically this
year, changing from underhand to a solid midcourt overhand.
As any member of the team can testify, Eileen always
displayed great enthusiasm even when morale was at
a low ebb. With the advent of this year’s winning streak,
"Lulu” was then responsible for enticing a bevy of spectators
including her boyfriend to support the team in their
last home game of the season, which fortunately turned out
a victory. For her contributions, Eileen was honored with
the 1982-83 Coach’s Award.
EILEEN CONTI
Lisa Helligner was perhaps the best prepared member of
this year’s volleyball team. Years of participation have
developed her strength, skill, and reaction speed so that
she was moved this year from the position of substitute
setter to "pinch-server.” The sheer power of her spikes
and serves won her the epithet "Spikin’ Mama” early.
Off court, Lisa’s wild antics with cohort Shari Williams
reminded Coach Freeman of last year’s Kearney-Arkoulakis
comedy troupe, while keeping the rest of the team
continually entertained. A regular atender of practices as
well as games, Lisa showed deep loyalty to the sport although
she was largely unnoticed in Wardlaw-Hartridge
and perhaps the most under rated player in this year’s
team.

Events play an important part in the
rounding-out of a W-H student. The events
varying from sports to dances allow the students
to view the school in something other
than an academic light.
From the very beginnings of W-H in the
Lower School, events are planned for all
ages. Periodic assemblies occur throughout
each school year geared to young intellects,
and the much anticipated spring Field Day
united the entire lower School in athletic
endeavor.
In the Upper School, too, assemblies bring
cheer and contrast to the rigors of academic
school life. Furthermore, the Student
Council sponsored innovative fundraising
events such as Carnation Day and the school
dance (held this year and Valentine’s Day).
In the last few years, sports events have also
taken place among students, alumni, and
faculty both indoors and out. Sports allow
participants to vent their aggressions in a
friendly competitive manner, strengthening
instead of ruining relationships.
The culminating event held at W-H has
always been the Prom. Even before the
merger, students from the two schools were
able to associate with each other through
the Prom. Originally, gymnasiums were
decorated to transform them into the dance
halls, but today the event has outgrown the
confines of the school proper, and a restaurant
is booked for the occasion.
Whether they be one-time assemblies or
time-honored traditions, events have always
made W-H the diverse and viable
school that now stands ready to enter its
next century.

OF FALL FAIRS AND
HOLIDAYS
The active Centennial Committee turned this year’s fall
fair into an event to be remembered, as the Homecoming
weekend, a beautiful, clear, cool Autumn day, provided
food, fun, and winning teams. Christmas at the Lower
School exercised its usual charm this year, and in the time
between Christmas and the Fair, weekends found W-H
graduates returning to do battle in Soccer and Field Hockey.
Those old folks are toughl

Alumnae S Alumni Games
v fc
On a blustery windy day in the middle of Thanksgiving
vacation, several W-H alumnae returned to Inman Avenue to
challenge the few 1982 field hockey players who did not
travel away for the break. Since the three faithfully attending
alumnae - Susan Stout '79, Tami Solondz '82, and Caroline
Pittis '82 - were outnumbered by homebody hockey players,
anyone was welcome to play against the high schoolers. Not
only did alumnus Rob Stout take up his stick for sister Sue,
but so did soccer coach Mr. Freeman. Several seniors who
were persuaded to turn traitor to their season-long teammates
rounded out the'alumnae” contingent. Order was
maintained by Referee Mrs. Wilson, if order was the word for
the melee of joking and stick-swinging that did add a convivial
warmth to the chilly day. Afterwards, doughnuts and hot
chocolate were served while everyone caught up with each
others’ lives and reminisced about good times shared in the
past. Altogether, the event fulfilled its purpose as a cheerful
annual get-together.
The Alumni soccer team fared far better against the soccer
team. Although the current squad was bolstered by Carlos
Castro and various coaches they went down in spirited
but crushing defeat. Nonetheless good spirits were shared by
all.

A GATHERING OF
ANGELS
In the life of the student, few events are as
welcome as the Assembly. The Assembly, as
blessed as a snow day, comes with about as
much warning. Suddenly, the unsuspecting
eighth grader finds a short first period and a
wonderful opportunity to fool around with his
friends, or to gossip with her companions, under
the watchful but distracted eyes of Dr.
Rudnyanszky and Mr. Vietor. Mr. Ayres or Mr.
Peterson will warm up the crowd in their usual
respectful monotone, and within seconds everyone
will know if it is an eye opener or a
snoozer.
This year Dr. Keating, Chairman of the Board
of Trustees, marched us along the Great Wall
of China and introduced the world’s largest
nation to a small private school, somewhere in
Central N.J. Ron Gaetano, who had been so
successful and well received last year when
speaking on drug related topics, spoke this
year on family relations and the necessity of
communicating love between parents and adolescents.
Another group that had an uphill fight was
the Colgate 13, a singing group in the old Fraternity
glee club tradition. Although male singing
groups in suits and ties are not the musical
staple for modern youth, this one do-wopped,
bebopped, and Special Limited-Offered their
way into our hearts. This was quite an accomplishment
considering they had to first wake
up their audience before drawing an enthusiastic
response.
In addition to love, drugs, music, and exotic
places, the march of science and progress was
represented. Mike De Camp penetrated the
polar ice, and his slides vivified the life of the
furry seal in Anarctica. Much to their suprise,
even the seniors found themselves watching
with some interest. The scientific slant continued
as the program then proceeded from one
of the most hostile environments on earth to
the mystery of cosmic origin. The comments
of Prof. Ganges on the origin of life proved
provocative and unexpected, and reactions to
this speech carried over more thoroughly into
the classroom than did those of any other assembly.
"We’d like to thank Mr. XX once again; all
periods will be shortened of course, you have
two minutes to get to your next class.”

The first scene opens with Rick Westfield and Gidget
Thorne who appear to be deeply in love with each other.
Our second set of lovers are Hunt Manders, a husky, backto-nature
type of man, and Alicia Wentworth, who is the
pampered sister of the multi-millionaire, "Glasses”
Wentworth.
214
Yet, Glasses is not as careful in his personal life as he is
with his business, for he has blindly fallen in love with
Gidget. Gidget sees Glasses as the one way to obtain enough
money to help her true love, Rick. Her plan is to marry
Glasses and arrange his sudden, accidental death after he
has changed his will in her favor.
The next scene takes us to see Rick and his partner Brick
Travers, who have been controlling the smuggling ring in
Edison, N.J., and are now introducing a new drug which is
similar to green M & M’s in taste and appearance, but whose
effect is ten times greater. Brick has had enough of working
under Rick’s thumb and wants to take over the whole
business now, so he had been embezzling the funds and at
this time wishes to be rid of Rick altogether. In the
meantime, Brick has been having problems in his personal
life and is caught between two women. Although he would
like to go to Switzerland with the mystical gypsy Alamanda,
he has found that Gina Krimson, his old flame, does not
want to give him up. Gina is threatening to blackmail him
with microfilm of the smuggling ring.

The mysterious and bewitching Aiamanda
The following scene shows us Gidget who has
attempted to ppison Glasses’ Brute cologne with a drug
she got from Aiamanda, but the plan falls through as he
switches to Jovan’s Musk for Men. Meanwhile, Glasses
disapproves of Alicia’s love affair with Hunt who he
knows is out only for the Wentworth fortune. He
discusses the plan with his new bride, who replies, "I’ll
take care of it.” She hires Slick and Reggie and finds a
time and place. The thugs accomplish the mission, but
also accidentally kill Alicia as she steps in front of Hunt
10 ve him. Gidget, who oversaw the operation then
revi v her plans and hires Slick, Rocky, Nimblefingers
Ned, and Rick’s friend Brick to knock off Glasses. Now
that Gidget is sure she will get the money, the
murderers find and kill Glasses. As Gidget plans to
save Brick by giving the microfilm to Lt. Krause, a
third-rate cop who is seeking a case that will guarantee
a promotion that is 15 years overdue.
«mnm mm
traying microfilm evidence.
For the final scene, Tempora Et Mores has
decided to leave you with various thoughtful
questions.
As Gina makes her decision to tell Lt. Krause
about Brick, she has second thoughts and seeks
to talk to Brick. When she meets him, it is
obvious that Aiamanda has been around too long
and has won Brick over. Gina is torn among her
pride, Lt. Krause’s nagging for a case, and true
feelings. Which will win o u t ? .................. (over).
215

Since Gidget has gone through the trouble to kill her husband, she now believes that with a completed
plan and a new fortune, she will live happily ever after with Rick. However, Gidget does not know that
she has a rival . . . the tennis star, Dale Prince

One can barely remember the last time W-H
held a dance. And one must go back even further
to find a successful dance. With that in mind, the
Student Council worked feverishly to produce
such an affair, appropriately, for Valentine’s Day.
While the evening’s participants were home dolling
themselves up, various council members labored
to change the front hall and the All-Purpose
room into a daring, decorated disco. Despite all of
the planning, disaster almost struck. Five minutes
before the dance was to start, the DJ asked
where the circuit breakers were located, thus
sending shock and panic through the council officers.
However, everything was resolved, and the
dance went according to plan.
A rather good turnout made the festivities even
better, as the dance was not only profitable, but
also a perfect occasion for smurfing out, slow
dancing, doing the "ET”, or whatever one is into.
Even though the dance ended, its spirit carried on
into March, as it was the cause for some pre-
Vacation smurfing.
217

Advertisements
The advertisements section, the last portion
of the yearbook to which anyone turns, may be
expected to consist of dull pages loaded with
hundreds of monotonous company names.
Much to the contrary, the W-H ad section is
usually one of the more popular viewing spots
in the yearbook. Every page is chock-full of
personal touches; favorite themes and friends,
inside jokes, pastimes, and baby pictures reminiscent
of the individualized caricatures and
artwork that littered the pages of former yearbooks
produced before the advent of mass
photography.
But because of the ad sections reputation as
the unopened sector of the book, many businesses
are wary of placing ads - especially for
such a small school. It seems that every store
owner has a preplanned excuse to elude the
senior seeking advertising: "Not this year,
business is bad.”
"None of our customers go to your school!!!”
"Sorry, our advertising budget is spent.”
"We don’t advertise in yearbooks.”
"Wardlaw WHATridge??? Never heard of your
school!”
Nonetheless, the few daring companies who
do place ads soon discover that they have
made a sound investment. The artistic designing,
done by the business staff headed by Ellen
Bart and supervised by faculty advisor Mrs. E.
Bart, offers layouts pleasing to the eyes; personal
and business ads are juxtaposed so subtly
that a reader retains the advertisers’ names
while laughing at someone’s nearby baby picture.
The subconscience association of the
names with the excellence of W-H induces the
reader to patronize the companies. Thus, both
reader, company, and yearbook benefit from
the entertaining and practical advertising section.
Anything so successful must be immoral,
illegal as well as impressive, so read on!

The Centennial year cannot end just with this year's
class, or with the pleasant memory of younger days
among those faculty members entrusted with the
continuing education of future W-H generations. No,
a special tribute is called for, to recognize the
extraordinary commitment of those who administer
our little community.
Returning to its roots, W-H finds its administration
teaching in the classroom. Who could doubt the
warmth with which Mr. McDougall greets the
morning, or his easy, conspiratorial rapport with the
younger generation? Mr. Vietor, more of the old
school, views the conviviality of today’s perhaps
excessively cheerful student with greater reserve, an
attitude shared by the headmaster.
Yet, who can wonder at Mr. Ayres Rabelesian good
humor or his spellbinding raconteurial skills
at the lunch table? And note how he exemplifies
the correct academic attitude in his daily punctual
rounds for morning attendance. Whether
walking the halls or working behind his own
neatly arranged desk, Mr. Ayres leads his competent
administrators into the next century of running the
Wardlaw-Hartridge School.

Finally no discussion of daily life in the
modern W-H can omit the role of the
versatile Mr. Peterson. Whether
instructing freshmen in the correct
manner of counting on their fingers,
"start with the thumb, Amy, start with
the thumb,” or surveying the kingdom
with a protege, "someday, John, this
could all be yours,” he maintains a
commanding presence at W-H.
Last year, many students were only
aware of EP’s "Brubaker” image, the
traffic cop in the halls, the dress code
enforcer, the mean Mr. Grinch spoiling
the everyday school week with two-day
suspensions. This year, a new and lighter
side has added depth to that onedimensional
view.
Sure there are still the headaches, but
Napolitano’s has the cure, and suddenly
the lockers and the cinderblocks do not
look so bad. For, this year, even Mr.
Peterson was caught up in the "laid back”
spirit, and so makes a fitting Number Two
to our youthful headmaster.

It was a long, long, seven days, the Nth to the 18th of March to be exact, that the elect few spent getting out
the yearbook from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. and then from 8 P.M. to 11:30 P.M. dailly. Of couse after persuing through this
Centennial Issue of Tempora Et Mores, one can easily understand the dedication of those people, who gave up the
first week of their spring vacation to make sure this book was published on time.
1would especially like to thank Sean McMullen’s aid in writing copy at the last minute (and enjoying it), Dawn
Lewis for her nimble fingers at the typewriter, Elaine Kossowicz, Anita Sadaty, and Cathering Cotman for doing
all the menial tasks with a smile, Margaret Carter for doing most of the sports section cheerfully, (always with a
strongly-held opinion to be voiced in her own gentle manner), Masako Shimamura for her willingness to write
copy and correct others, while drifting into the fifth dimension, and last but not least, Jocelyn Lubach who was
absolutely spectacular in doing everything her usual enthusiastic way, while enduring my misogenist jokes, and to
the rest of the staff, I say thanks.
To Mr. Brown a sincere encomium is called for. He has been a friend as well as a teacher and faculty adviser,
while suffering all of my baldness jokes. Mrs. Bart’s prodigious labors produced an ad section she calls her 'piece
de resistance,” which, given the books this includes, is saying quite a bit. Her encouragement and work allowed
the seniors to be sole inhabitants of their own page. To Ellen Bart, Cindy Mallin, and the rest of the business
staff, I wish to express my appreciation.
Finally, I would like to offer my gratitude to Mrs. Hoffman for all the years she stood by me, like my own
family, to Mr. McDougall for his wit and friendship, to Mrs. Gubleman for her wisdom and helping out at short
notice, and to my parents for their support and patience.
