I\ school with the best view in Newark. How many schools can honestly
.l:'l.say they have a better view of our environment than us? Looking out of
our classroom windows , the atmosphere that surrounds Barringer created
an ambiance that kept us coming back for another look. Now as an alum
nus, every experience we have will always remind us of the cold icy winters
and the warm demanding summers that enveloped our beloved school.

relocating four times and surviving a change of
the school name, from Newark High School to Barringer High School,
170 years later our school still continues to blossom and grow with each
passing year. But Barringer wouldn't be everything it is today without the
inspiring souls that once walked and inhabited these classrooms. Starting
with Barringer's first principal, Nathan Hedges, every other faculty member,
principal and student who took a breathe in Barringer's hallways supplied a
memory that shaped our school. Each personality left behind a radiant and
promising legacy to live up to, challenging others to achieve the next level.
Because Barringer was the first public high school in New Jersey, we provid
ed the gateway for everyone else to shine through. And being the third-oldest
high school in the country, you can imagine that our legacy is well known
and we serve as a Big Brother for all those who follow our paw prints.
There's nothing more memorable than your four years of high-
school. These years shape who you are in the future. Throughout these
chaotic years you evolve into a unique individual who will impact the lives
of many you will meet. For the most part, in high school you can even find
or lose yourself, and what better place to grow than Barringer. As you flip
through each page. .. reflect on how you developed into the person you have
become.
Ten years from now when you look at these pages again and your mind
retraces your memory's paw prints again, you '11 be glad your four years
spent in Barringer High.
Nature hypnotizes us into
always remembering where we came
from. Whenever we think of Branch
Brook Park we will recall our high
school days.
