their degree of aesthetic interest,religious interest, and social in-terest. Following this, the stu-dents read selected French liter-ature.

In June they were again meas-ured by the same tests in orderto ascertain whether the attitudeshad changed. Mrs. Young foundthat 13.6"10 of the possible changeshad significantly occurred.

While students had increasedin social and asthetic interests,a decrease was noted in values ofconcept prompted by the words,foreigners, national liberty, re-ligion, and the French language.

Westfield had highest in re-ligious interest and far abovethe national average.

•The loud incessant hum which has been echoing in the humid

air of Westfield during the past few weeks was not made by locustsas many people believe. The proper name of these insects iscicadas, although they are frequently incorrectly referred to asseventeen year locusts.

The last time these insects appeared was in 1945, long beforerockets were being sent into orbit. Seventeen years ago, millionsof cicadas came out of the ground, lived their brief life, mated anddied.

Their eggs then hatched, dropped to the ground and dug theirway into the earth. Since 1945, these small cicadas have been grow-ing, and this spring, by some unknown instinct, have risen andappeared in most areas from Connecticut to North Carolina andwest to Ohio.

The cicadas are sucking insects and can be of no harm to anyonebesides scaring little girls and fascinating young boys. The groupwhich appeared this year is considered a major one.

After emerging from the ground, the cicada goes to the nearesttree, post, or even to a wooden building, and, several feet abovethe ground, attaches itself. Eventually its skin splits and it crawlsout of its shell. Soon after, its wings appear and it is able to fly.

It is assumed that the noise made by the insects is a matingcall, which gets louder on hot days and stops at night.

About one week after the wings appear, mating occurs and theeggs are layed in the bark of small plant stems. Not long afterthis, the adult will die.

In a few weeks the baby cicadas, about the size of ants, hatch,fall to the ground, and dig down until they come in contact with atree root. There, the present-bafch Reggs -wiltreniain until [979;-when they will again occupy Westfield's trees and shrubs.

ExperiChick

WHS Custodians HaveExperience

Unknown to many students, theWHS custodians raise a rabbitin the Japanese Garden in ad-dition to their va rio u s otherduties.

The rabbit, as yet unnamed,was one of a litter of five foundby Mr. Ed. Schroppe , one of thecustodians, last summer in anest near the cafeteria. Threeof the five were given away, twoto another custodian and one toa student. The fourth died, leav-ing only the one which is nowin the garden.

Mr. Schroppe took the youngrabbit to Mr. Clarence A. Jones'biology lab to stay throughoutthe summer. During this time,many of the custodians broughtcarrots, lettuce, and other veg-etables to feed the pet.

Another custodian, Mr. JohnDedinsky, said that the rabbitis one year old, brown, and al-ready full-grown. He also saidthat the rabbit is not tame andcannot be petted.

•"I felt like a murderer," com-

mented Dinny Stearns '64, whenasked about her Biology I ex-periment in which she observedthe development of the chickembryo.

Dinny, who is in Mr. JosephKursar's biology class, boughtthree dozen eggs and placed themin a small incubator in the class-room. Each day she opened oneegg, poured its contents into asmall bottle, and filled the restof the bottle with formaldehyde.

After a few days she placedonly the yolk in the bottle sothat the developing embryo couldclearly be discerned. She labeledeach bottle by its respective dayand placed them on display.

There are 21 days in the ges-tation period, but as some ofthe eggs didn't develop proper-ly, Dinny was only able to ob-serve the first 20 days of de-velopment.

"The teenagers of today are lazy."The Hi's Eye, after questioning many students about their summer pos itions , would like to refute this

s tate merrt. This article will reveal some of the more unusual jobs.In the dirty-work category is Chappy Colucci who is going to be a garbage collector at Seaside

Heights. Running a close second is Carol Russo who will be feeding chickens at the Biological ScienceDivision of Rutgers.

Competing with Randy Holland in the acting category is Kathy Quad, Rosina Maiers, and Joan MacKinnon who will be working at Foothills Playhouse, a summer stock theatre in Somerville. Randy, whileworking nights at the Papermill Playhouse, will work days at theTown pet store.

work in a nightclub. In the same line will be Nick Warburton who,after taking his grandmother to Alabama and picking up his cousin,will try to get a job in ajazz band in New Orleans playing the guitar.

Counseling at camps seems to be a popular job but the employeesworking under the most unusual conditions will be Carol Robbins, whowill be working at a boys' camp, and Don Stanton, who will be counsel-ing at a camp for children of millionaires .

Male DishwasherAmong the male dishwashers will be Ken Cornell, who will work

at the Geiger Counter, and Bill Lewis, working at Howard Johnson's.While Douglas Eakeley is life guarding at Highland Swim Club, BobKing will be out in the club's garden, weeding.

There will be 16 WHSgirls at the International Girl Scout Round-up this summer at Vermont. While these girls are enjoying the heat,Rich Lubeck will be "sweltering" laboring as an iron worker.

Among the more unusual jobs in the miscellaneous category willbe performed by Carol Richardson, Rick Shapiro, Chip Nichols, andTillie Holzwarth. Carol has obtained a job to give insulin injectionsto an elderly lady at Belmar during the month of July.

Rich will entertain at childrep's parties as "Charlie the Clown,"Tillie will make jewelry in her home, and Chip will make burialvaults.

directed to theany praise given to the Hi's Eye, it is usuallyeditors or staff members. But there's another

person who deserves recognition: namely, the adviser, Mr. WaltClarkson. We departing seniors, take this opportunity to thankMr. Clarksoh for his many ideas and suggestions which havecontributed greatly to the paper's success.

It was his idea to have a bi -weekly this year, and a weeklyissue next fall. An ex-editor of the paper himself, he understandsthe particular problems of publishing a school newspaper, andhas allowed us as much liberty with our own ideas as we desired,never imposing any unnecessary censorship.

When we missed deadlines he has driven the copy up to theprinter in Bloomfield. Once, at midnight, and again after a 6 a.m.swimming practice in the winter. This kind of "advice" is morethan any staff could expect. Although coaching sports takes up agreat deal of Mr. Clarkson's time, he nevertheless finds (usually)some opportunity to check over the Hi's Eye copy (except for thisarticle !)

On deadline days that could have been unpleasant because ofthe tension and fast work necessary to get to the post office byfive, we achieved atmosphere which was congenial, informal,and with not a little exchange of wit and humor. Mr. Clarksonhelped make this possible, and we are very happy to have hadhim for an adviser.

served very little purpose otherthan to provide for a few minutesof pea c e in the 1i v e s of theteachers. One teacher occasion-ally spends his lunch in the bombshelter.

The shelter is reached througha tiny door in a checkroom in theauditorium lobby. This door leadsto a ladder, if one is fortunateenough to find the door unlocked.

The purpose of this bomb shel-ter area is yet undetermined.Very few know of its existence.It has a locked door as the onlyentrance and exit. Those whomight need it some day have neverheard about it.

Two lockers near the musicroom are abnormally wide. Infact, they are wide enough for aperson to stand in, as Bill MacKay of the Hi's Eye demonstrates.

September-BOy am I ever- cool I Only one more year to goand I'm out! Can't wait. We really started the year off well: lookat the bridge, proclaiming our fame. (Bet I was never as smallas the sophomores. The senior door is sort of a status symbolbut I like it.)

October- Yearbook meetings! Bring in pictures! Do homework!Get the car fender fixed! All this year is, is work. Why do we haveso many responsibiliites? You would think we were really somethingspecial! At least the senior picruc was relaxing!

November-November 23!! I Are we ever great! WE WON! Thepep rallies are great. It is nice that the underclassmen stand upfor us. They rp.alize our worth.

December-The tableaux was beautiful. The Christmas tree wasin the SENIOR HALL. Funny I never bothered to notice it before.Do I ever deserve this vacation. School is too rough on seniors.Oh those college boards!! New Years best ever.

January-Exams!! Those ogres. We worked so hard and theyinsist on tests. Senioritis is catching or something.

February -Rejected! The guidance department has failed me!I'm ruined I I must drown my sor-rows in extra curricular activiites.

March-Clubs are pretty bad. Only seven meetings a year. It- --·--'O:71a:alglrillTllr-·ttoo be' a senlOl pI'ivll"ege to set their

start looking for a summer job. I'll soon be out.Aprll-I was accepted?!? I love the guidance department. Al-

ways knew they were great. Another vacation. Need it I! The senioressay will be the death of me yet.

May-My prom! Camelot was lovely. The shore afterwards ?Well, never mind. Have about five trips to go on this month. Fres-men came over. And I thought the sophs were bad I! Many clubelections, I couldn't take another year like this one. Thank HeavenI'm leaving.

J...,e-Who does homework anymore? The banquet must go on.Baccalaur-ette , graduation, exams. Will they ever leave us alone?Graduation night - Tears, sobs,! Boy, do I ever hate to leave.I'll really miss the old school. Kind of wish I were a soph again.

As departing seniors, we would like to break through the apathy that preceaes the closing of aschool year and make some suggestions for WHS next term. To the Student Council, we suggest that(1) Orientation Day be held the day before the opening of school in September, rather than in May.This will enable new sophomores to familiarize themselves with classes, the building, and the bellschedule without the added confusion of upperclassman. It is doubtful that they remember much betweenMay and September regarding WHS: (2) more informal dances be held on weekends, or that the Councilpromote the Westfield canteen idea; (3) student-faculty sports events be re-instated.

To the Girls' Gym Department, we suggest that the Senior Sister program be held the first dayof school when there is a valid need for it (rather than a week after the sophomores have been inschoot.) We would also like to see more student interest in political events. Lack of controversialeditorials has been a major weakness of the Hi's Eye this year, and we hope to see a regular columneach week dealing with some controversial affair in next year's paper. Or, even better, a politicalnewspaper run by the Forum Club such as the language papersnow mimeographed.

These are only a few important ideas and we, are sure thejuniors will think of many more improvements next fall. Our yearsin high school have been a wonderful experience, and we wishnext year's seniors every success. If they follow their classmotto, "Not for oneself, but for all," they're sure to succeed.

DR 6-1439

by Harold Skill

The class of '62 has played a very large role in Westfield's out-standing year in sports. Some schools enjoy a great year or twobecause of the exceptional talent of one class, but slip back to nor-mality afterwards.

Roselle fielded real juggernauts in basketball, baseball, andfootball last year. However, the Rams have not had one strong teamthis year.

Who will perform with the versatility and ability of a Bob Hoff-man, a Jim Kovacs, a Dick Myers, or a Greg Weiss? Will any runnerbe found to fill Dave Coleman's spikes?

Can anyone attain the competency in one sport of a Ken Cornell,a Bob Michaels, or a Dave Richardson? Who can replace the dozensof other seniors who have contributed so much to this great year?

Will Westfield skid from its prominent place in scholastic ath-letics ? The answer is an emphatic NO! Just as underclassmen inthe past have taken up the slack of graduation, so will this year'ssophomores, juniors, and ninth graders;

The future in cross-country, swimming, wrestling, and golfseems even brighter than the fine seasons those teams enjoyed in1961-62.

On paper, the 1961 football team should have been weaker thanits predecessor. Who expected Hoffman to move to Westfield? Couldwe have expected basketball bellwether Bob King, only a junior, todevelop into a star of the first magnitude after a so-so sophomoreseason?

It is doubtful that every team will be able to match or surpassthe achievements of this year's squads. This writer, however, seesenough talent among the juniors, sophomores, and ninth graders toat least equal this year's overall record.
