The encouraging attendance at the two debates which were given before the school by the society during the year and the valuable assistance of the faculty have fostered the development of the society to the extent that the succeeding classes have a firm foundation upon which to continue this project. 67 19 DEBATING TEAMS 68 Ih Pa Flas 26 Che Junior Plays In our Junior year the class presented two short plays. Both plays were given with great success because of the devoted interest of the actors and the skillful guidance of our coach, Miss Ruth Le Fevre. The first play, “The Doctor in Spite of Himself,’ was a sparkling example of Moliere’s humor, and the clever acting by Dorothy Krog as “Martine,” the Doctor’s wife, contributed much toward making the play enjoyable. “Sganarelle,” “the Doctor in spite of himself,” was Cedric Bond, who interpreted very originally that pathetic character. The part of the country gentleman, “Gerante,’ was very well portrayed by Horace Kipe. “Lucinde,” Gerante’s daughter, was played by Carolyn Saums. With “Tommy” as a goal, it was no hardship for “Liandre,” her lover, to act enthusiastically. Bruce Force played the part very well. Albert Feinsod as “M. Robert,” a neighbor, “Al” Leland as the “Valere,” Gerante’s servant, “Phil” Adelman as “Lucas,” Doris Anderson as “Jacque- line,” all helped to make the play the success it was. The second Junior play, “The Knave of Hearts,’ was entirely different from the first. William Hazell, as “Pompdebile the Eighth,” King of Hearts, playing with Elizabeth Krog as “Lady Violetta,’ his queen-to-be, made a very pleasing foundation for the play. “Sid” Bergman, as the “Knave of Hearts,” played his part as if it were a pleasure. ‘Doug’ Kramer and “Steve” Runyon as chefs of the Royal Court, also had a good time flipping pancakes. The “Chancellor” as “Phil” Levin was entirely “at home” on the stage. Helen Williams as Violetta’s Lady-in-waiting, Matile Fleming and Clio Caroli as Heralds, and “Tom” Hughes as “Manager,” all played their parts to the credit of our class, and Ruth Ainscough and Elizabeth Donley were Ladies of the Court. Che Seuinr Play We chose “Adam and Eva” for our Senior play. Since it is a modern drama, it gave great opportunity to our embryonic actors and actresses to show their talent, and afforded the audience delightful entertainment. Elizabeth Krog was again the charming heroine, a truly modern girl. She played the part very well, and showed her ability by her ease on the stage. Avery Wotton made a delightful “Adam,” who was a truly masculine person, although miodest and disillusioned. “Lord Andrew” completed the “eternal triangle,’ and was ably por- trayed by Elmer Lawson, who also has had previous experience in dramatics. “Steve” Runyon played “Mr. King,” Eva’s father, very successfully. His height and voice, added to his actual talent, lent much to the charac- terization of that part. No less deserving of praise are those who are so often termed minor characters. Doris Anderson as “Julie DeWitt,’ and Sydney Weintraub as her husband, “Clinton,” made a very amusing couple. Every family, especially a rich one, has its “hangers-on.” “Aunt Abby Rocker” and “Uncle Horace Pilgrim” were interpreted very appreciatively by Lois Holt and Michael Loupassakis. The maid’s part of “Corinthia,’ often undeservingly considered a left over, was played very realistically by Matile Fleming. Kenneth Hinman took the part of the learned Dr. Delameter extremely well. 69 19 26 “ADAM AND EVA” AS PRESENTED BY DHE CLASSIOE 26 70 (os Oars | hice IZ, MK jit YIGAG i y Yj iy ME Y LE 19 Pak eo: 26 Freshman Year There are Russian histories, Polish histories, Jugoslavian histories, and Czechoslovakian histories, but they are all dull compared with that of the class of ’26. We entered school by the front door. If it was good enough for the faculty, it was good enough for us. The sky was our limit, so we looked for all classes on the fourth floor. Chagrined by the rebukes from the seniors, because of our excessive ignorance, we descended to the lowest depths of the school and won the interclass swimming meet. We weren’t such poor fish after all! Having been accustomed to the bean-bag, we were naturally good at ball-games and beat the seniors in making both bases and baskets. After we had seen our first movie at the Strand, we thought it only fair to give the rest of the school a treat, and so introduced them to Harold Lloyd. With the profits from this, the great financier, Stephen Runyon, introduced us to Wall Street—and we were only freshmen. Sophomore Year Sophomore Year is just like Wednesday, neither at the beginning nor at the end. We weren’t upper classmen, and yet we weren’t the famous freshmen any longer; just in the middle. However that didn’t affect us, for we still surpassed all other classes, especially in pecuniary matters. As freshmen we were nouveau riche, but as sophomores we were less nouveau and more riche, particularly after the dance at which we made thirty dollars. We were a much gifted class. Our president, Chubby Hetfield, was descended from Hermes, so.’twas said, and therefore we were naturally athletic. The girls won the swimming meet, (their diving was an awful art; we mean full of awe), the boys won the track meet (did they ride velocipedes?), and as a grande finale, we won the interclass football match. After such a year, didn’t we have a perfect right to be egotistical? Junior Year The third year of our memorable career was characterized by several great events. First the stalwarts of the class achieved a mighty end by winning the class numerals in football. Besides this, these men took a great stand in making the varsity football, basketball, and baseball teams what they were. Then came the opportunity for the actors and actresses of the class to show their unequaled ability. The Junior Play, or rather Plays, “The Knave of Hearts” and “A Doctor In Spite of Himself,” went over the top with a loud bang. This event gave beneficial entertainment to not only the students of the school but also to the whole population of Plainfield. This alone might have been a complete and honorable climax, but we went on. To the Seniors we gave a feed unequaled by any that has ever been given. Those partaking of that meal of the daintiest morsels have never been able to enjoy a meal since because of the memory of that feast. Lastly we attained a great artistic success in the selection of the Junior rings which adorn the hands of the entire class. G2 19 | iro) 3 Ee 26 Senior Year As we dutifully reflect upon the past Senior Year, the year we spend in a sincere, voluntary grind for graduation, we see our accomplishments and productions through L’Allegro eyes and the sudden disbanding of our class with Il Penseroso eyes. In order to make up for our inactivity in the fall of 1925, in “Adam and Eva,” a vivacious comedy, the Seniors established a reputation for perfec- tion, besides demonstrating to our Sophomore sisters the proper method of fainting and of making love. Then our barber element, (those beastly Unions, you know) gave an example of its art to the Juniors while several assistants by means of mocking verse roasted, nay stewed and steamed the Juniors to a crisp red. Their meagre retaliation that evening by defeating our basketball team we overwhelmed by swimming, tugging, boxing, and both cane and lamp rushing them for a loss. Next Comes a Piroclamation “Know all men by these presents that the Senior Basketball Team, party of the first part, with honorable revenge manhandled the Faculty Basketball Team, party of the second part, by the official score of 28-22 in a rather warmly contested match on February 17. Know all ye also that the aforenamed colossal feat has been accomplished but thrice in the thirty years past.” Finally, indisposed by the monotony of the ordinary Birthday exercises, the Seniors founded a precedent by presenting a patriotic film on Washington’s Birthday. Earlier in the fall our girls had distinguished themselves by winning the hockey championship after a long, womanly tussle with the under-classwomen. Later in the spring, they were in the finals in the struggle for basketball laurels. The fact that mothers are handy is indisputable. Our Senior Mothers proved this by giving a card party in April, the proceeds of which, some one hundred forty dollars, they donated to our Treasury. The zeal of some in athletics, moreover, must not forego mention. Seven of our men received football letters, four basketball letters, and nine base- ball letters. Since we had produced so brilliant a play earlier in the semester, with perspicacity for the school’s standard, at our Class Day exercises we dem- onstrated how to prepare and to rehearse a play. Sans scenery, and sans gilded lighting effects, we entertained pupils and the public at a highly bene- ficial performance. “And after they had read their last Will and Testament, they danced.” But now all is over. The four, full years of high school which watched us grow and develop are concluded. As a budding tulip closes each evening to reopen the following morning refreshed by a night’s rest, so our class has had its nights of rejuvenation and its days of glory. Now our flower is about to disintegrate, leaving nothing but the bare stalk. Yet its fragrance will linger forever. 73 is) Class Porm Alma Mater, Classmates, All, Now we leave this cherished hall, Now we enter life alone— Our fames uncertain, names unknown. Four happy years have we toiled here In walls that hold remembrance dear, And now our last few fond hours bring Sweet memories back, to which we cling. Since now our high school days are thru Let’s take a reminiscent view, And roll time back o’er each glad year That we found work and pleasure here. As Freshmen and as Sophomores, too, Conquests were many, failures few; As Juniors, efforts were well lent, For Seniors heights our heads were bent. Now that we've gained the cherished goal, And set our foot outside the fold With steady step and dauntless heart, We want to say, before we start—, Oh! Alma Mater, Classmates, All, We mourn to leave this loved hall, But wish each class a like success, And a long, long life to P. H. S.! Ann Privett 74 26 Last Will and lestament ‘ty 1 ae a Z; A I _ A (pe | I ( ) 22 lili Zi a = : 19 Perle: 26 Gast Will and Cestament We, the class of 1926 of the Plainfield High School, being fully matured and of sound mind, and acknowledging the blessings bestowed on us by our Creator, our faculty, and our predecessors, and having now arrived at the end of our high school career, and wishing to turn our experience to the benefit of those who follow in our foot-paths, do hereby publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. And may the example set by the class of 1926 be an inspiration and guide for many future generations. We hereby bequeath and devise all our material possessions to these beneficiaries to have and to hold as their own. To wit: To our respected friends and advisers, the Faculty: Unus—The pleasant memory of the brilliant scholars, Ruth Ainscough and Ruth Hunting. Secundus—The sad memory of your crashing defeat in basketball by our star five. Tertius—To Miss Le Fevre in particular: The task of finding a better cast to work with than the cast of the 1926 Senior Play. Quartus—To Dr. Maxon in particular: The scholastic accomplishments of the last senior class under his reign. To our sister class of 1928: Premier—The terrific pain and agony to be withstood at the Seniors’ roast. Deuxieme—The responsibility and seriousness as a member of the Senior class. Troisieme—The right to be nominated for public office for the city- government day. Quatrieme—The devoted obligation to form the nucleus for all athletic teams. To the class of 1929: Primero—The exclusive right to be known as upper-classmen. Segundo—The seats in the rear of chapel on the first floor. Tercero—The power to be unhelpful to the class of 1930, in the first part of the year at least. To the class of 1930, beautiful but dumb: Erst—Our famous colors, blue and gold, which we hope will inspire them as they did us. 76 ie Heqon Logek 26 Zweit—The chance to form a daily pilgrimage to Miss Moore, to receive punishment for their foolish acts. Dritt—The tremendous right of being able to join the school, which they will know as P. H. S., in cheers and songs in chapel and at the athletic field. To the class of 1927, our noble successors: Unus—The hope of beating the faculty on the court as we did. Secundus—All of our senior teachers including our prized Mr. Hubbard, who steered the ship. Tertius—The front section of seats in chapel, left vacant by our quiet departure. Quartus—The genius ability to publish a Year Book which might resemble our high-class production. Quintus—The right to take vengeance on the class of 1928 at their roast for the stings of our noble class upon them. Sextus—The right to vanquish their class rivals at the cane-rush, as we vanquished them. In witness whereof, this twenty-second day of June, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-six and in the year of the Sesqui-Centennial celebration of the Independence of the United States, we do hereby cause our class seal and finger-prints to be set upon this, our last legal document.

After leaving college she will rattle through life in her Ford. And to be perfectly “Frank” with you it will go “Steamin” on as usual. Bill Hazell Bill, in after life, will be a master electrician, in which capacity he will throw much light on the majority elections. Brick Brothers Earnie and Charlie will join the New York Hockey Club where they will incur wide notice. “Jazz” Smith “Jazz” is going to be signed up by Paul Whiteman and we're here to say he swings a mean pair of drum-sticks! We hear “Eleanor” is going to protest so he’ll probably not be so “keen an” it. Horace Kipe Horace, our talented organist, is going to make his way under a “B(r)ower” of fame and finally end his career in “Loew's” (Louise) theatre. We bet he'll (Betty like it “More” there than in P. EUS: Anna Privett Anna will go back to her (Farris) “fairest” south but her “henery” (Henry) will need her here. She will not be afraid” (Fred) to come back with a “Forman” with a “strong arm” (Armstrong) to protect her. Betty Weida Happy-go-lucky Betty will no doubt meander back to Providence where she will open a “Bus” line for Fords only! Helen Williams Our fair Helen of Westfield will go in the “Earl” Business ’cause then she'll be sure to never run out of gas when she’s riding around in her little coupe. We are wondering why Helen doesn’t write a book on the subject “Why Men Leave Home!” Clio Caroli “Avery”body is wondering “Wotton” earth Clio is going to do when she goes out in the cruel world. No doubt she will study art over in “France’(s) and on her return will secure a position as secretary to Attorney “Blatz.” We wonder why! “Chubby” Hetfield Here’s our noble little “chubby” all set for a raid on. Dartmouth, where he’ll carry the pig-skin even better than “Red” Grange. Once through college he’ll journey back to the “old home town” and ride about in his sedan (Suydan) with “Cornie” advertising “The best things come in little packages.” Adele Texier Although we know that “Bob” will need a secretary, we think Adele should open a book shop having among her collection only such books as “Homer’s”’ Iliad and the famous “Dr. Jeckell” and Mr. Hyde! Matile Fleming Matile is going to get some “Jack” and organize a home for all the old “Foulks”’ over in North Plainfield. Speaking very “Frank”ly we advise her to “Bob” her hair and join the “Carrol” vanities. by 82 19 ee ere tap eee en 226 “Sis” Krog Sis will keep a home for stray animals. All the kittens will be “Tom” cats and the dogs Hot “Franks.” When she gets her “Phil” she’ll ship them off by “Adams” express and devote her spare time reading “Personal touches for a motorcycle.” Phil Russell In his bachelorhood, Phil will “Andy” along in his “green wheeled horseless carriage” picking up the lost “Katz” and wondering “Wotton” earth to do with them. Avery Wotton Now that Avery has portrayed his ability as an “actor” we are wondering what he will do next. Probably he will study flowers as he seems to like “Ferns,” Sweet “Williams” and “Kat(z)nip’—and even goes to the Westfield nurseries for his bouquets ! ! ! Francis Blatz There is a rumor that our modern “Apollo” will journey to Egypt and study Egyptian mummies. A “lot he” (Lottie) will accomplish when his thoughts turn to “Clio” patra! “Katz” Wilmerding “Katz” thinks she is going to have a “Punk” time when she leaves old P. H. S., and just “Haights” to go. Don’t blame her a bit but then when she gets out in Detroit, she'll just raise the “Dick”ens and get her “Phil” of Fords even if they haven’t “green wheels!” We fear it will be a sad parting as there is a murmur of a “Rustle”’ (Russell) among her heart-strings. Dick Terry Dick, our three letter man, is certainly the “Katz” when it comes to “tripping the light fantastic.” Being such a cut-up, we have an idea he will go up to Cambridge, Mass., and open up a “Barber” shop—using “Williams” shaving cream exclusively. Georgette Ramsdell After a strenuous year at Swarthmore, Georgette will need a “Doc’tor’s care if she ever plans to leave the station “Platt” form for home again. Fred Bergheim Freddie with all his winning ways shall move in the near future but before hand he will make an extensive survey of his “Lot.” Eddie Lynch The sporting crowds will never miss their old friends Ralph de Palma and Tommy Milton when Eddie comes on the track with his latest Nash racer. Abe Greenblatt Abe’s ability in the tank will earn him a job in the New York aquarium as a “big papa frog.” It will be a shame to fool the children so, but they will at least get a good conception of a frog. Hilma Feil If Hilma will not “Curry” Dan’s favor, she will have to take “Dick’’tation or else choose a bushman (Buschmann) who will “Jim”my her window, and in his car’ll (Carl) ride away with her. Elizabeth Donley When Lib has graduated from Mt. Holyoke, she will doubtless become a dis- tinguished stateswoman, and insert a “clause” in the constitution prohibiting bobbed hair. 83 Wy) (etd a Rete): 26 Ruth Hunting Ruth, our cogitative school editor, will be appreciated at Alfred College, we feel sure. Who knows what she will make her life work, though? Will she be a high school teacher, a kindergarten teacher,—or will someone persuade her to be neither? Nettie Bolmer If Nettie should decide to devote herself to sewing, we can guess what “Will be her” (Wilbur) “Emery” bag. Chet Van Cleef Chet, our famous cheer-leader, is planning to go to college. He will never touch “gin at’? (Jeanette) college, and, in fact, he will resolve to leave all “bodze”’ (Boos) alone. Virginia Bellis We hear that Ginnie, who is so fond of painting “Hank”-ies, will go to France to continue her study of art. Beware, Virginia, the ocean is full of dangerous “eddies.” One other caution: “Lolly” pops will make you fat! Ruth Ainscough After Ruth has graduated from Wellesley with all possible scholastic honors, she will devote herself to gathering “young herbs.” But in her biological ram- bles, she should be careful always to have someone at hand to “Jack up” her car for her, and help “ward” off the “law.” Reginald Groves Reggie is a quiet little student. But when he takes a continued course in Physics, he will find out what has kept his amperage down and how to raise his voltage. Grace Campbell Hot temper is said to go hand in hand with red hair. Do you s’pose the fellows notice it? Or do they forget all else when they see the beautiful “doil”-ies she can make? Robert Fairchild Bob will soon astonish the world with his sonnets and “Limburger” cheeses, for he has ability and “aid” (rien). So we're sure he'll get there in the morning. Bruce Force Bruce intends some day to paint a masterpiece, which he will name “What ‘Height’ Girls.” His model?—Why Phillis, of course. Arlington Hummer “France is” (Frances) a good place to go, Arlington. But better still it is to come back again to see all your old friends, and especially to “hail her” (Hailer) whom you missed most. Don Moore Don will always be an ad-“mirer” (Myra) of fair play in sports, be they indoor or out. As regards hunting, we might state that Don has “shot well’ in his day. Perhaps this was due to his “strong arm.” Ned Wheaton Here is one famous traps player who absolutely does not touch “gin” (y). A “belle is” (Bellis) all that is needed to make him happy. Walton Bostwick Who has not heard—or at least heard of—the melodious wails of Walt’s Sax? Lopez su rely must be glad this young prodigy is graduating at last, for now they will be able to be known as the “Bost-Lopez-wick” orchestra. 84 19 ela: 26 Clifford Zimmer e, When the boy-mayor has become a man-mayor, he will “levy” (La Vie) taxes just as “Dimmy”’ tells him to. Phil Levin Phil, upon graduating, will settle down and take life seriously for a change, as an orator should. His first series of lectures will be on “The Art and Graces of cheerleading!” Frances Tomkinson Frances will make a cross continental tour of Netherwood to “Rob” the cradle. “Midge” Corey “Midge” will always be independent and her motto is: “Use your “Ed’— take ’em by “Force’—Have your “Phil”; then throw ’em down! Steve Runyon Steve will graduate from Yale and move into a Hermit’s hut to keep away from the women. No doubt he will philosophize on life as a Hermit with only “Katz” to keep him company. Sheafe Krans In a short while “Krans and Krog” will be known all over the world as the famous dare-devil motorcycle pair. Sheafe attributes his remarkable skill to having eaten “Graham” crackers all his life. Lois Holt Lois will soon be editor-in-chief of college humor, but her wit will have reached its zenith when she can send out the “Bill” and rake in the “Jack.” Alice Rugen So Alice is going to Smith, is she? She'll be very successful there, but in spite of it all she'll need to take a business course at ‘“Tylers” so that she can be secretary to “Elmer.” Later on she’ll take up her abode in Bound Brook where she’d better’ watch out that she doesn’t get pinched driving in her Buick. Jeannette Terry Jeannette will be very successful in the business world, especially after becom- ing private secretary at “Laing’s” garage. Cell Whelan This demure, quiet, little lady will some time become a private secretary to Mueller so that she can have spaghetti as much as she wants. Lillian Flosbach Our nightingale will no doubt be a success in all phases of life after she has acquired some “Jack.” Raymond Cray “The Big Boy from Hoboken” has only been with us for two years, but during that time he certainly has made a good impression, especially in his math class. In dealing with figures, he is one “wiz!” Ray will probably become a professor and give Mr, Gaithwaite a few pointers. Doris Anderson Doris will always like cars, whether they’re Fords, Studebakers, or Chryslers, but she’ll soon learn that it’s only the bus that runs to New Brunswick. Ruth Campbell We are doubtful just what vocation Ruth will pursue but we are almost sure it will be either a “Jim” instructor or an automobile saleswoman, preferably with the “Nash” Motor Company. 85 Senior Bonk Keviewm Phe.

H. S. has shown in many years. Its record is five victories, two ties, and two defeats. After the first game which resulted in a 9-0 defeat by Summit, our team staged a comeback that made every sport-writer in central Jersey sit up and take notice. Plainfield’s first victim in her unmerciful string of victoriés. was Montclair. Our team journeyed over to this society village, took a whack at its football representatives, and walked away with the bigger end of a 12-0 score. Next our stellar team completely buried Morristown by a score of 27-6. In this game our backfield showed an improvement in speed that was almost supernatural. Westfield was our next field of battle. What a battlexit was! Plainfield emerged from the fray tired but happy. The tell-tale figures were 7-2. Trenton arrived at Plainfield full of confidence. Our team did not “have the clock-like precision that it had in former games. Trenton managed to hold us to a 7-7 tie. Again the boys took to the road. This time to Rahway. Here took place a battle that made your blood tingle and which will be forever written in pagies of history. Our team was at its best, but so was Rahway’s. The outcome was 7-7. It would have been 7-0, not in our favor, had not our boys become inspired in the final quarter and, after a great effort, taken the ball over the goal line. Our next game turned out to be a track meet. Our backfield men worked havoc with Phillipsburg’s line. Our opponents were snowed under by brilliant runs, tackles, and forward passes. The score was 53-6. Then arrived the great game of the season. It was played at East Orange and was won by the same. Both teams were at their best. It was here that our boys showed their strength, their skill, and their fighting spirit. Without a punter, we were unable to stand against the beautiful punting of East Orange. This loss cost Plainfield the game at the price of 5-0. Lastly, we met our old rivals from across the brook. Considering that the game was played int a sea of mud, our team did well in licking the “Canucks” by the score of 19-3. Here are the scores in a bunch: Plainfield QO Summit 9 Plainfield 12 Montclair 0 Plainfield 27 Morristown 6 Plainfield 7 Westfield 2 Plainfield 7 ‘Trenton 7. Plainfield 7 Rahway 7. Plainfield 53 Phillipsburg 6 Plainfield O East Orange 5 Plainfield 19 N. Plainfield 3 This year Coach Stine had good material, and he put it to good use. The _ better men are: Townley, Owens, George, Greenblatt, Clark, B. Smith, McKoy, Edward, Zimmer, Hetfield, Krans, Terry, Moravec and A. Smith, Captain. Our outstanding star of the season was “Cliff” Zimmer, the all State end. As a receiver of forward passes he is unequalled in the State of New Jersey. Other stellar players were “Chub” Hetfield, “Dick” Terry anc azz oiibn es Line team will be headed next year by Jim Moravec, Captain-elect. 90 19 | Face se Eom 26 Baskethall “26 Of a success the basketball team of ’26 can hardly be called an example. With five letter men on the squad the student body had hopes of a great basket- ball team like that of the previous year. The team seemed to have taken a decided slump this year. At one time it looked as though the boys were coming through. Four victories in a row showed that the team had the goods. In many cases the opponents got the breaks and thus our boys were defeated. Yet, it must be said that the team gave several exhibitions of first-class basketball. This applies directly to the Plainfield-North Plainfield series, which we won after three hard fought battles.

Plainfield 18 Plainfield 20 Zimmer, one of the best centers Plainfield has ever had, was the star. Whenever needed, he is always on the spot. “Dick” Terry and “Norm” Townley did some excellent work as guards. “Vic” Craig, a first year man, and Sol Naidorff were steady point-getters throughout the season. Tom Kinney and “Jazz” Smith also gave some exhibitions of game-saving shots. Basketball letter men are Zimmer, Terry, Naidorff, Townley, Captain, Craig, and A. Smith. 91 19 le Agius 26 Smimming of 2h The swimming team of ’26 did well considering that it was composed mostly of inexperienced men. This year the team held meets wth some first class teams such as New Haven, Peddie, Pingry, and Rutgers Prep. It was a tough schedule for a “green” team to carry through, but the boys did their best in every event, and in many cases triumphed over superior swimmers. Here are the results: Plainfield 39 Rahway 29 Plainfield Jo “Pingty 28 Plainfield 24 Pingry 35 Plainfield 11 New Haven 54 Plainfield 29 Rutgers Prep 29 Plainfield 16 Peddie 44 Plainfield 50 Barringer 11 “Abe” Greenblatt was the star of the season. He took many first places for Plainfield, and also broke the school record for the forty yard breast-stroke. Captain Leland gave several exhibitions of fine swimming, Other letter men each of whom did his share are Tews, Edwards, Viviano, Shumsky, Balogh, and Schuldenfrei. 92 THE BIG RED) TEAM TENNIS TEAM 93 19 | eee wh = O4 26 1D Webel 0. 26 Soreer of “25 Our 1925 soccer team succeeded in winning two games, tying one, and losing the remaining four games by close scores. This year’s team was handicapped by inexperienced material, but gave promising appearances of a successful 1926 team. The following men played varsity soccer, B. Byard, J. Zemel, E. Burfeind, W. Rabinowitz, Captain, G. Maine, S. Ianotta, H. Pierson, R. Glen, W. Orton, A. Iehrenshak, and H. Handleman. Captain Rabinowitz was the star of the team, beng ably supported by Byard and I ehrenshak. Crack 26 The track team of ’26 has not yet had its first meet. Prospective members are practicing diligently every afternoon. Coach Cook expects to develop a first class track team. This year the team will compete with other schools in every event except the hammer throw. “Abe” Greenblatt, our star shot putter, is the mainstay of the team in the field events. Captain “Jim’’ Kenyon and George McKoy are ready to match their speed with all comers. “iJim” is a good man in everything up to the quarter mile. Mogey and Balogh are the star pole vaulters. Christmas, a young freshman, is bound to make good in the high jump. He is also fast in the sprints. Other probable point getters are Caroli, Preyer, Cray, Czoly and Costa. Baseball of “26 The baseball team of ’26 started off the season as though they intended to be the State champs. The first victim of Plainfield’s merciless attack was Bar- ringer. With a perfect pitcher and an almost perfect fielding and batting team, who could lose? The score was 19-6. Next our team romped over East Orange to the tune of 8-1. The feature of the game was Zimmer’s flying catch in right field. It was Townley who turned down East Orange just as he did Barringer. As a third victim we took Somerville. In this game Long George Tuzo chalked up his initial victory. He was ably supported by his teammates. The result was 13-2. Still we go forward. The next to fall under the mighty arm of Norm. Townley and his crack teammates wa s Central. The main feature of the game was Sol Naidorff’s terrific clout into left field for a “homer.” Boy, what a hit! This game really had a double feature. The other was Pfister’s hitting: four hits out of five times at bat. Some hitting; eh what? The result of it all was 10-4. Ny) Perino 26 96 19 Po ras: 26 Bad news! The first setback of the season. Nutley with her first class base- ball team visited our field, played our boys, and ran home with the bacon. Every- thing was fine until the ninth inning. At the beginning of that inning the score was 5-5. At the end of that inning the score was 9-5, not in our favor. Undaunted by this defeat, our boys met Montclair on our field. In this game they batted their way to a 14-9 victory. Throughout the game our team played winning baseball. For the second time this season the team played away from home. This time we were met by Rahway. This team proved to be no stumbling block for P. H. 5., for the big red team smothered her opponents by the score of 19-7. Confident of victory the boys traveled to Hackensack, where they emerged from the fray on the bigger end of an 11-6 score. After each game our team is one step nearer the top of the ladder, (i.e., the State championship). The next to fall before our mighty engine of war was Westfield. This tilt proved to be one of the best played games of the season. Neither side had its batting eye. The outcome of this battle was 4-1, not in Westfield’s favor. Following close upon the Westfield victory came the first of the three game series between Plainfield and North Plainfield. Over-confident, our boys played in a slip-shod manner and North Plainfield almost triumphed over us. When it was absolutely necessary our team managed to hold our rivals from across the brook. This game ended with the score 9-7 in our favor. Again we journeyed afar. This time to Orange. ‘Our men did not even exert themselves in this tilt, and thus the final score was only 12-2. Of course the 12 belonged to Plainfield. Confident of success we went to New Brunswick, settled our score with their baseball team, and joyfully came home with the cat in the bag. The students of New Brunswick High were sorry to see us leave because we had with us the larger part of a 6-2 score. During the next game, which was held on our own field, the boys gave every- body the biggest scare that citizens of Plainfield ever had. Two innings to go, and we were six runs behind. Our team came to bat in the ending of the eighth inning determined to win the ball game from Phillipsburg. Well, anyone who saw those eighth and ninth innings can tell you just what happened. We scored seven runs and won the game. These runs were earned by good clean hits and by excellent base-running. The final score, much to the delight of all Plainfielders, was Plainfield 10, Phillipsburg 9. Here are the results in a bunch: Plainfield 19 Barringer 6 Plainfield 11 Hackensack 6 Plainfield 8 E.

Lynch fills quite ably the position of shortstop left vacant by Greenwood. Our’ captain is “Dick” Terry. Although in a batting slump, Dick expects to be heading the list of batters at the end of two or three games. Other probable big league players are Hetfield, Owens, Smith, Zimmer, Bergheim and Sergie. In Norm. Townley we have a pitching ace that baffles them all. Right behind him comes “Long George” Tuzo. 97 26 Pie cow Girly’ Athletics Senior Hockey Ceam With the remembrance of three years’ defeat, the Seniors set out with the determination to win. All seemed lost, however, when a strong Sophomore team defeated them 2-1 in the first game. That same day the Freshmen went down before the Juniors, and later before us. But the unexpected happened, and the Juniors overcame the Sophomores. Triumphant and confident, they attaaked the Seniors, but fell hard, finishing on the small end of a 3-0 score. Interest increased, and excitement ran quite high when the Sophomores and Seniors clashed for the final game. The chilly temperature did not prevent a good game, and it was not until an extra period had been played that the Seniors gained the hard-earned victory which gave them their numerals. To some it meant their letter. These are: Elizabeth Donley, Elizabeth Barlow, Margaret Corey, Captain, and Jessie Ivamy. Iuninr Basketball Ceram The basketball, like the hockey games, were hard fought. After a stirring battle which the Seniors won by a point margin over the Sophomores, the former lost to the Juniors who had already been conquered by the Sophomores. ‘This created a tie among the three upper-classes, for the Freshmen had lost all their games. It must be said, however, that they played valiantly and deserve credit for their fighting spirit. The Seniors held another contest with the Sophomores, and again won by one point. Then came the final clash between Juniors and Seniors which resulted in a 27-26 score, in favor of the Juniors. 99 26 ra lek tse Lo 100 Qulographs Autographs 102 PATRONIZE OUR ADV.
