THE ORACLE 1870---1920 With this commencement the Plainfield High School enters upon its fiftieth anniversary. For half a century, our Alma Mater has been sending out into the world men and women. In these years improve- ment has been great and rapid. he facilities of all departments have been increased materially; in fact, the physics, chemistry and biology laboratories rival those of any high school in the land and are on a par with facilities afforded for the same work in many colleges. Plainfield High School alumni are doing creditable work in the leading colleges and universities of the nation and are also giving good account of them- selves in the various walks of daily life. | The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty is, indeed, proud to have been a member of this beloved school. We look back o’er the past four years and sigh wistfully as we think of the many pleasures and good times we have had here. But, looking even further back, we are a bit awed at the gleaming record of past graduates. Ours is resolution to uphold that record. Business men and women, engineers, artists, writers, soldiers—in the Americas, Asia and Europe—all add glory to the honored name of their Alma Mater—Plainfield High School. | We resolve to do our best to keep that name on the high plane to which former graduates have elevated it; we resolve to maintain that exalted position they have made for you, our school. We go forth to face a new life—with you behind, pointing to that which is before us— Everything.
