Lockwoop, who have been inseparably asso- ciated in our minds throughout our stay in school.

In this way we express our appreciation of their loyalty and service to our class. TO OUR ALMA MATER Dark ivy, glossy green with hint of lue, That mantless, mellows some the ruddy ue Of red-brick wall that will come smil- ing through, Displaying graceful lines in spotless white; Green grass below, the sprightly steps and clean; . Brown lamp posts—we will not forget the scene, And all have learned to love the pleas- ant sight. Now we must on; else, what’s the use of life? Yet each upon his road of toil and strife, Each at his chosen task will ever bear His bit of ivy and his memory fair; And time is sure to come when he will bless A passing thought of dear old P. H.

BRESSAN Gwen, Gwennie General C Undecided “Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends.” Greek Fantasy 1; Gym Demonstration 3; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4; Junior Decorating Committee 3; Year Book Board 4.

We envy her pupils. FRED ETZELT General Undecided “A man’s a man for all o’ that.” PRED has proved conclusively that he can keep a secret even to keeping a secret as to his identity.

Every time the choo-choo stalls, Gene will go through the train selling extra shoes to his passengers. Some _ business man!

N SPITE of his small size, Fitz has many friends. He is a pocket edi- tion of a good time. He is a quiet fellow, but silence is better than to be always talking. [31 ] Va A: [ 32 ] HERBERT FRIEDLANDER Herb, Red Classical University of Illinois “Tell me, what is love?” College League Basketball 1; Chemistry Essay Prize 3; French Club 3; Musical Comedy 4.

AIL Perronius! Here cometh the mighty Caesar! Roger has been the big gun behind the Oracle and the Year Book. Without his guiding hand they surely would have gone astray. Roger is a debater of some repute. Here is a fellow anyone would want as a friend. ELVIRA GENARO Vi Commercial Business “What should a maid do, but be merry.” Entered P. H. S. 4. or three years Elvira was disillusi- oned. Then she came to P. H. S. However, the class of 30 realizes now how fortunate it had been. Elvira is famed far and wide for her dancing. JOHN GEYSER Johnny General Electrical School “Music is the universal language of man- kind.” High School Bank 3,4; High School Orchestra. JOHNNY is the class musician.

Before long we expect to see Florence imparting her knowl- edge to a class of small children. RUTH GRAEK Ruth Commercial Business “Serene and sweet.” P.T.A. Gym 3; Radio Shorthand Contest Cer- tificate. UTH’S curly hair and large eyes would inspire any man to employ her. Besides having these physical assets, Ruth is very bright.

[35 ] LELA HANSEN Lela General C Muhlenburg “And in her modesty, she blushed.” Hockey 1, 2; Gym Demonstration for P.T.A. 3; Student Patrol 4; Echoing Hearts 4; Hi-Tri 1,2, 3,4; Senior Decorating Committee 4. ELA is our champion blusher, but behind that blush is a true friend. She always has a smile for everyone and is a great help at Hi tri particu- larly in the kitchen. If you ever find a disturbance in the class room, Lela’s giggle is probably the cause. DOROTHY HARRIS Dot, Dottie Classical College “Oh, there’s nothing half so sweet in life as love’s young dream.” Christmas Decorating Committee 1,4; Hi-Tri 3, 4; French Club 3,4; Greek Fantasy 1; Basketball 2: Track 2, WHat would Dottie ever do if Plainfield High wasn’t co-ed? In answer, we might say jointly that she could not. However, we can’t blame “Him” because her winning smile would tempt anyone. KATHLYN HEAUME Kitty General C Normal School “As merry as the day is long.” Greek Fantasy 1; Gym Exhibition 3; Track 3; Life Saving 3; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4; Dramatic So- ciety 3,4.

Even her merry brown eyes twinkle with mis- chief. VELMA HENRY Vel, Hen Commercial Business “Art is the presence of qualities, not the absence of faults.” Orchestra for Junior Play 3; Orchestra for Senior Play 4; Orchestra for Musical Comedy 4. ELMA seems to be quite the young musical lady and we doubt if Mr. Savage could do without her in any of the orchestras for the entertain- ments. She is very quiet and sin- cere, as well as a music lover.

E KNOW Marion as a camper, a lover of the out-of-doors. Noth- ing could be finer! Perhaps that is why she is bored with school life. Cheer up, Cissy!! MARIE HEYD Marie General Katherine Gibbs School “To live without loving, is not really living.” URING Marie’s stay here with us she has won recognition by many students. Where Marie finds all the time we don’t know but she always has her homework done and still has a good time. FREDERICK HILDUM Freddy Scientific Cornell “Sometimes very wise and serious thoughts come to me.” Student Patrol 4; Tennis 3,4; Business Manager Oracle 4; Swimming Manager 4; Business Man- ager Yearbook 4; Student Council 4; Hockey Team 3,4. ALTHOUGH Fred does not make so much noise as some of his col- leagues, the success of the KaLErIDo- SCoPE is largely due to his untiring work. As for his managing things, he managed the most successful swimming team P. H. S. has had.

[sy is a person who possesses a a great deal of humor and has never been known to lose his temper. He is the kind of a fellow we like to hav around as he radiates good will.

HAYES JETTER Hayes General Undecided “The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life.” Class Football. H4 Es enjoys life as it comes and leaves all worries to the future. Life for him presents many possibili- ties. We wonder what he will do when his diploma has been hung on the wall.

ELEN is quite musically inclined, in that her harmony is almost perfect. There is no doubt that if she keeps it up, it will not be long before she will be entertaining her unseen radio audience. MARIE ALICE KELLY Oui, Kelly Commercial Business “The lovely heart doth win the love of all.” Christmas Decorating Committee; Certificate— orice of Gregg Artists 3; Radio Shorthand Con- test 3. ERE we have Efficiency in person. You can’t catch Marie up on any shorthand character or typewriter tricks.

JOE came to P. H. S. from across the sea. He’s the man who can make your hair stand on end with true tales of his experience in Russia. Because of his urgent quest of learn- ing, Joe has given the teachers some- thing to think about. ERNST LASSEN Ernie Scientific North Carolina “With his eyes and flood with laughter.” Hi-Y 3,4,5; Junior-Senio r Feed Committee 3; Senior Play 4; Columbus Day Program 4; Senior Decorating Committee 4; Class Decoration 3; Arabian Knights 3; Echoing Hearts 5; Class Foot- ball 5; Cane Rush 3,4,5. H, SWEET mysteries of life! Ernie is a mystery. He’s here; he’s there. On the football field and on the track field he’s a wow! On the dance floor he’s a dashing Romeo. DORIS MARCELLE LEVY Doris General C Barnard College “So charming, so sweet, And deliciously neat.” Dramatic Society 2,3,4; Memorial Day Pro- gram 3; Debating Society 4; Musical Comedy 4; Track 2; Basketball 4; Junior-Senior Roast Com- mittee 4; Declamation Contest Winner 4; Thanks- giving Day Program.

BETSY LONG Bets Classical College “Tf matters go badly now, they will not always be so.” Plainfield High School 1,4; Library Service 1, 4; Vice-President Library Council 4.

In spite of her work, she is an active member of Hi-Tri and has given much time in helping. Dot is a model for neatness and tidiness. That old saying, “apple-pie order”, surely applies to Dot in every respect. MIRIAM LOUISE MANNING Louise General Beaver College “If music be the food of love, play on.” Basketball 1,2; Hi-Tri 2,3,4; Greek Fantasy 1; Echoing Hearts 4. ERE is another miss about whom there is so much to say that we hardly know where to begin. Louise is another well-dressed blonde. 1930 has been well blessed with so many charming girls. HELEN MARTINI Marty General Undecided “A damsel of high lineage.” ND still another well-dressed girl. For the latest fashion, just apply to Helen. There may be prettier blondes, but we have yet to find one. Althought she is a quiet miss here in school, we know she is not always the little mouse she pretends to be. JAMES MATHIAS Jimmy, Red Classical Princeton “Never gloomy, never sad, Always happy, always glad.” Library Council 1,2,3,4; President Library Coun- cil 4; Debating Club 1,2,3,4; Public Safety Patrol 4; German Club 4; Student Council 3,4. H LEAD ON, guiding light! Jimmy has been extremely active in the library council. “Red” is Miss Bonny’s help around the home. As a debator Jimmy sure does shine (his hair anyway.) Mr. Mathias is quite a German scholar. [ 42 ] HELAINE MAY MATILE Classical Mt. Holyoke “She makes wicked lightning with her eyes.” Musical comedy 2,4; Treasurer of French Club 4; Dramatic Club 1,4; Basketball Team 3,4; Stu- dent Patrol 4; Senior Play Entertainment 3; Hi- Tri 2,3,4; Greek Fantasy 1. or four years Helaine has lent her charm to P. H. S. She was rightly voted the cutest girl. Helaine has served her class well by playing bas- ketball. Her dancing at the Junior play amazed the audience. Miss Matile keeps her companies in stitches by her ready wit. MILTON MEISSNER Bud Scientific Lehigh, Chem. Engineer “The mind is the man.” W.C.T.U. Prize Theme 2; German Club 4; Track 4, AIL, thou second Einstein. Sci- entist, mathematician, and _ lin- guist. Milt it surely one peach of a scholar. Also this young giant is somewhat of a debator. Milt will break the high jump record in the near future. If we don’t hear “big” things about “Legs”, we will cer- tainly be disappointed. GRACE ALBERTA MERKEL General Newark Normal School “Mindful of herself, but of others.” Hockey 3; Basketball 3,4; Hi-Tri 1,3,4; Band 4; Orchestra 4; Christmas Decorating Committee 2; Glee Club 3. SMILE for all, a good nature and a pleasing disposition are Grace’s secrets of charm. She has con- tributed much of her musical ability in the activities of the school. MARJORIE MOORE Marj Commercial Business “She speaks so kindly unto us all.” Musical Comedy 4; Christmas Decorating Com- mittee 4. V[4820R1E is a lovely girl to know. She’s as quiet as a mouse, but silence reaps the biggest rewards as shown in her accurate work. Al- though she’s small, we stick to it that “good things come in small pack- ages.” NETTY MORRIS Net General Newark Normal School “One may smile and smile.” Gym Pageant 1; Greek Fantasy 2; Basketball 1,3,4; Hockey 4; Thanksgiving Day Committee 4; Clean-up Campaign 4.

DOROTHY NADLER Dubby General Pratt Secretarial “Pleasant she was ever.” Gym Pageant 1,2; Honesty Committee 4. [DoPF°THY is a young lady who has been with us for all four years. She has given much of her time to serve on the Public Safety Commit- tee. Dot is a good scout and is liked by all who know her. NORMAN NARDONE Norm General Dental College “Cunning is an endowment greater than nobleness and riches.” GILeNT but now unseen, quiet but not unheard, a man of mystery! However, we know something about him. Norm expects to be a dentist, but we don’t know whether painless or painful. Good luck and our best wishes to you, Norm. FANNY NATHANSON Fay, Fan Commercial Business “Vieekness is not weakness.” Stneography Radio contest certificate 3; Type- writing Pin; O.G.A. Certificate. E ALL wish we could apply our- selves to our books as diligently as Fanny, and she certainly gets re- sults. So, you’re going to be a stenographer, Fanny. Well, we know that youll brighten and _ lighten someone’s office. [ 44 ] KATHRYN NEILSON Kay, Kitty General Normal School “She was good and she was fair.” Greek Fantasy 1; Program and Costume De- signing; Echoing Hearts; Art Exhibition 1,3; Painted Scenery for Senior Play.

D4wP is that intelligent looking fel- low near the front of the class who’s going to start a discussion so that he can save some of his less fortunate classmates. A student and a scholar if there ever was one. [ 45 ] DANIEL ORCUTT Dan Scientific Denison University “For, oh, Eternity is too short to utter all thy praises.” Oracle Board 2; Tennis 1,2; Track 3; First Prize Caesar Translation 2. [F you ever need a friend see Dan. His calm exterior hides a person- ality that is full of fun. We would like to meet more men like Dan. He has aspiration of being a track star and an excellent scholar and tennis player. LILLIAN PASHIN Lil, Lee Classical Cornell “Merit worthier is than fame.” Hockey 1,3; French Club 3; Greek Fantasy 1; Debating Society 4. WE CERTAINLY can depend on Lil- lian. Whether you need a Latin translation or a dime for lunch, she’s always there, ready to help you out. We wish you all sorts of success, Lillian, and we are sure you'll live up to our hopes. MURIEL ALICE PAYNE Billy General Undecided “Unsung, perhaps, but not unhonored.” Field Day 1; Baseball 1; Home Arts Exposition 3; Gym Demonstration 2; Hi-Tri 3. MURIEL is a quiet miss who intends to be a nurse when she departs from P. H. S. It must be nice to be so quiet that one makes no enemies. As far as we know Muriel has only friends, and they all think a lot of her. JAMES FERRIS PEARSOLL Jimmy Scientific Undecided “He is a gentleman because his nature is kind and affable to every creature.” PD™ you ever see Jimmy when he was not wearing a smile? No, neither have we. Everybody’s friend —that’s Jimmy sure enough. He swears he’s stupid, but we are not so sure. He wears a learned look at times. However, that smile will eee Jimmy through life. Good luck to you! VIVIAN JEANETTE PEARSON Viv, V General College, Undecided “She’s all my fancy painted her, She’s lovely, she’s divine.” Tennis 1,2,4; Basketball 2,3,4; Junior-Senior Roast Committee 4; Track Team 2,3,4; Christmas Decorating Committee 1,2,3,4; Musical Comedy 4; Chapel Usher Squad 4; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4; Hockey 1,2,3,4; Field Day 1.

Viv took part in “Echoing Hearts.” VIOLET PERRY Vi General Undecided “Life may be a grand sweet song to some, but it is written in ragtime for many.” Orchestra 3,4; Musical Comedy Orchestra 4. OW ITH rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she shall have music wherever she goes.” This musical little lady will some day startle the world. Roxy will then announce a successor to Paderewski. LEONARD PICKLE Len Scientific Rutgers “Don't do today what can be left till tomorrow.” PEAK little and say much. Leonard has gained the fame of being the class radical. He is always ready for anything new and is the leader for P. H. S. reforms. However, because of his pessimistic viewpoint, he never goes into anything without first con- sidering it. VIRGINIA PIERCE Ginny Classical Undecided “Or light or dark, or short or tall, she sets a spring to snare them all.” N.P.H.S. 1,2,3; Student Patrol 4; Hi-Tri 4; Echoing Hearts 4; French Club 4; Originator of Musical Comedy 4. ROM across the brook, our neigh- bor with Plainfield sent to us one Virginia Pierce. Boy, what a lady! Talent, we'll say so. She can sing, dance, do anything. In fact she even composed the chorus dance in “Echo- ing Hearts.” bac] BARNEY POLSKIN Classical New York University “He said it who knew it best.” French Club 3; Debating 4. () , HERE we have a future N. Y. U. graduate. Barney is a _ good talker. He made the debating team which opposed N. P. H.S. Barney is cracked up to be a mathematician; at least, Mr. Garthwaite says so. CHARLES PREITNER Charlie General A and Scientific Business “Never idle a moment.” E WHO can mind his own affairs is to be praised. Hence, three cheers for Charlie. We _ expect Charlie to get to great heights, for he is air-minded. He will represent ’30 in the transatlantic airplane race in the near future. ALICE RAMSING Al Commercial INGE Nh Wh “My heart is like a singing bird.” ALICE is sparkling and full of pep, always thinking of something new. If we see her on Broadway in a few years, we won’t be at all sur- prised because without a doubt, she can dance exceedingly well. MARGARET REMMER Peggy 2 Commercial Business “It is of little traits that the greatest human character is composed.” ERE’S a little girl with a small petite voice. Does it always pay to be quiet? Ask Margaret, she knows. Her employer will never complain of having a_ talkative stenographer. RUTH RESNICK Ricky, Rudy General Montclair Normal School “Good nature and good sense must ever join.” Field Day 1; Christmas Decoration Committee 1. UTH intends to be a teacher some- time in the dim future when she leaves Normal school. She is not sure what she is going to teach, but how we envy the lucky pupils she is going to teach. MARGERY DELANO ROBINSON Jerry Classical Vassar “Oh, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.” Dramatic Society 1,2,3,4; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4; Hockey 1,2,3,4; Basketball 1,2,3,4; Swimming 1,2; Tennis 1,2,3; Track 1,2; Student Council 1; French Club 38; Library Council 1,2,3,4; G.A.A. Representa- tive 1; Field Day Exercises 1; Student Patrol 4; Ushering Squad 4. ARGERY would have quite an ac- count by this time if she had in- stalled a fare meter in her car, but a lift in time saves nine. Jerry’s wardrobe seems to say for her, “Variety is the spice of Life.” VIRGINIA ROHLFING Ginnie General University of Pennsylvania “She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she ought.” H, WHAT stately mademoiselle is this? Why, none other than Miss Rohlfing herself. When Ginnie loses that dignified mien, well, the world will just naturally stand still in won- der. Ginnie was one of the party that dissected that poor kitty-cat. Ju st think of that! CHARLES R. ROWLAND Charlie General Business “His heart was ever neutral.” HIERE we have a future architect. Whether he likes it or not, that’s Charlie’s destiny because when it comes to mechanical drawing, Charlie is unequaled. However, Charlie insists he is going into bank- ing. More luck to you, Charlie. [ 49 ] HELEN SAAM Commercial Business “So quiet, so unassuming is she.” Bookkeeping Contest 3; Penmanship Contest 4; Auditing Committee for Senior Play. HELEN is a quiet little miss in the ' commercial course. We often see her pounding a typewriter or taking dictation. What an efficient stenographer she will make for some lucky business man! OLIVE A. SANDERSON Ollie General Kindergarten Training “T live on the sunny side of the street.” Entered P.H.S. 4. LIVE is another one of 1930’s im- portations—this one from the wicked city of Elizabeth. She is so quiet and unassuming that we haven’t found out much about her, but we know she’s “awfully nice” and willing to help whenever she can. JOSEPH SCHULDENFREI Bud, Joe Classical Dortmouth “Personal force never goes out of fashion.” Varsity Tennis 3,4; Debating Society 1,2,4; Chess Club 1,4; Chess Team 4; Advertising Man- ager Oracle 4; Advertising Manager Year Book 4; Business Manager Class Play 3,4; Junior Roast Committee 4; Public Safety Committee 4; Busi- ness Manager ‘“‘Echoing Hearts’? 4; Junior Ring Committee 3. J° has the power behind the throne of every business managing job since the commencement of the ac- tivities of the class. He has also starred on the tennis and chess teams. Joe’s good nature and laugh- ter will be missed around P. H. S. next year. SYLVIA SELD Syl Commercial N. Y. U. Secretarial School “Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit.” Greek Fantasy 1; Hi-Tri 2; Classroom Christ- mas Decoration Committee 2,3; Gym Demonstra- tion 3; Basketball 1,2. ALTHOUGH Sylvia impresses one as being a shy lass, those who know her will conclude that looks are de- ceiving.. She is rather serious but always appreciates a good joke. LOUISA SKOOG Lees Commercial Business “Courteous though coy, gentle though retired.” Orchestra 1,2,3,4; Second Prize in Typewriting ; First Prize Bookkeeping ; Second Prize State Pen- manship Contest; Auditor Musical Comedy. 7HO was it that kept the accounts straight for “Echoing Hearts,” and “Belinda”? Of course, it was Louisa. It seems that Louisa runs off with the typewriting and hand- writing prizes. RUSSELL D. SMALLEY Russ Classical University of Penna—Banking “Seeing only what is fair.” Second Prize ‘‘Clean-Up Week’? Essay 1; Sec- ond Prize Caesar Translation 2; Debating So- ciety 2,3; Varsity Ice Hockey 3, 4; Chapel Usher 4; Student Patrol 4; Orchestra 4; Musical Come- dy Orchestra 4; Room Banker 4. MAN of great reserve is the philosopher. Russ sees all, knows everything, and says nothing. Russ, by the way, wields a wicked hockey stick, and is able to hold his own against anyone with a tennis racket. Russell will surely be a success. PEGGY STUART SMINCK General Undecided “My ways are carefree ways.” PeEcey writes that her achievements are of minor character. This is very typical of her. She is about as modest as she can be. There is al- ways a group of people around Peggy. No wonder! Her humor is rare. ADELINE SMITH Addie, Dolly -Commercial Katherine Gibbs School “A loving little life of a sweet small worker.” Ticket Committee Musical Comedy 4; Greek Fantasy 1; Gregg Certificate for Radio Contest 3. E Just know Adeline will be a success because of her material gift in winning people over to seeing her point. Just watch her rise to Personal and Confidential Secretary to some big business man in no time at all.

ERE’S a little miss that is bound to get along in the business world. She is most original and has a spe- cial weakness for getting there. ROBERT E. SMITH Smitty Classical Lafayette “For een tho vanquished, he could argue still.” Student Council 2,4; Class Treasurer 2; Library Council 1,2,3,4; Vice-President French Club 3,4; Associate Editor Oracle 3; President of Junior Debating Society 2; President Thrift Council 4; Junior Play 3; Debating 1,2,3,4; Interscholastic Debating Team 3,4; Treasurer Library Service Council 3; Chairman Public Safety Committee 4. O MATTER what it may be, there is nothing too difficult for Bob to tackle. He forms his convictions and sticks by them. Bob will always be remembered for possessing the cour- age to present his convictions. LUTHER M. SMYTHE Don Lutero General University of Minnesota “He had a head which statuaries loved to copy.” Dupont Manual Training High School, Louis- ville; Central High School, Omaha, Nebraska ; Field Day 2; Year Book Board 4. Montclair High School; College Basketball 2; ALTHOUGH handicapped by being born west of the Delaware, he rose to his proper place when given a chance in our fair city.

[NDEED Mildred does like P. H. S. She’s been here long. She is a good sport and a good student. Milly seems to like to see the teachers mad, as she was voted the class goat- getter in 1929. KATHERINE ALBERTA STONE Kay, Kitty Classical Roberts-Beach School, College “A miracle of noble womanhood.” P.T.A. Entertainment 3; Christmas Decorating Committee 3; Field Day Pageant 1; Hi-Tri 1,2, 3,4; Hockey 1,2,3,4; P.T.A. Gym Exhibition 2. A! HA! Kay’s discovered someone else’s suppressed desire. The funny thing about it is that she never reveals her own. We wonder who it is? Kay tries to varnish over her good nature, but she doesn’t succeed, much to our joy. LUCILLE SUTPHEN Ceil, Suppie Classical Russell Sage College “Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace.” Hockey 1,2,3,4; Tennis 1,2,3,4; Track 2,3; Bas- ketball 1,2,3,4; Capt. 24; Junior Play Committee 3; Chairman Costume Committee Junior Play 3; Junior Ring Committee 3; Christmas Picture Committee 3; Greek Fantasy 1; Student P atrol 4; French Club 4; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4.

NEAL ROGER VAN MIDDLESWORTH Van Classical University of Michigan “A little nonsense now and then, Is relished by the best of men.” Oracle 3,4; Kaleidoscope 4; Senior Play 4; Stu- dent Patrol 4; Glee Club 3. Tus, ladies and gentlemen, is the only picture of Neal Roger Van Middlesworth, Esq., ever exhibited to the public. Gaze upon it while you may. You'll never see another. This handsome fellow is a poet. HENRY C. VAN ZANDT Dutch Scientific College “Everything he sees cheers and delights him.” Football Squad 2,3; Reserve Team 3; Musical Comedy 2. HIES8Y has dabbled in a little bit of biology, science, math, and mountain climbing. Perhaps it was due to his mathematical education here, that he was able to disect suc- cessfully a specimen of the feline family. But who couldn’t under the guidance of such a charming girl. HELEN CAROLYN VREMSAK Vrem, Lou Commercial Art School “A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.” Basketball 2,3,4; Track 3; Debating Club 4; Musical Comedy 4; Hockey 4; German Club 4; Christmas Decorating 1,2,3. ELEN has quite a musical talent, as well as the ability to argue. Saturday mornings you'll find Helen on her way to New York, and in the future we shall most likely see her name leading the lists of New York artists. [ 94 ] HELEN WALKER Squeek General Undecided “To worry little ,to study less, my idea of happiness.” Basketball; Hockey ; Track; Hi-Tri; Swimming ; Chairman of Picture Hanging Committee 1930; Oracle Pageant 2; G.A.A.

Program 3; Music Week Celebration 2; Basketball 1. GALLY is going to be a secretary. Well, good luck to you. We hope you hit the typewriter as well as you swim and dive. You’ve helped so ably on the swimming team, we ex- pect you to swim the channel some day. ELEANOR REEVE WARD El, Ward Commercial Ryder College “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” Chapel Usher 4; Glee Club 3; Basketball 1; Archery 4; Musical Comedy 4; Christmas Deco- rating Committee 1,2; Year Book Board 4; Music Week Program 3; 4th Prize Frank D.

She cer- tainly will get on in the world. MARGARET K. WESSELL Classical Mt. Holyoke College “She doeth little kindnesses which others have undone.” : Debating 2; German Club 4; Kaleidoscope Board ARGARET is a talended miss. The quotations in the KALEIDOSCOPE are Margaret’s work, and if you ask her, she’ll tell you it really was work. Well, Margaret we appreciate it, really we do. NILS WESSEL Nich, Swede Scientific Rutgers “Miracles are within us.” Columbus Day Exercise 1; Vice-President Junior Debating Society 2; Student Patrol 4; Chapel Usher 4; Armistice Day Exercise 4; Lincoln’s Day Exercise 3; Treasurer German Club 4; Senior aaa Committee 4; Year Book Board 4; Orchestra VERYTHING he says carries convic- tion, yet it is enlivened by a typi- cal and inimitable wit. Whatever Nils does, he will always be able to make and keep friends. But seri- ously, Nils is the finest sort of a fel- low you could ask for and is an excellent student besides. VIVIEN ALMA WHEELER Fudge General Undecided “Virtue is to herself the best reward.” Greek Fantasy 1; Christmas Decorating Com- mittee 1,2,3; ‘“‘Hilda of Holland.” Electrical Board 2; Baseball 1,2,3; Echoeing Hearts 4; Junior Track Manager 3. [Hus, another girl leaves Plainfield High after spending five years of her precious time here. Quiet, de- mure, and saintly is Vivien and a good worker as well. JOSEPHINE WHITTINGTON Joe Commercial Business “The seal of truth is simplicity.” ERE’S another one of Plainfield’s pretty girls. Joe isn’t very prominent in school activities, but in the social world she’s a belle. She has a very sunny disposition and a pleasant smile for all her friends. EMIL WICH Classical College “Who speaks no slander, no, nor listens to it.” Second Prize Craig Marsh Theme 1; Varsity Tennis 1,2,3,4; Class Secretary 2; Vice-President Class 3; Chairman Junior Play Committee; Stage Manager Junior Play; Student Council 2,3; Dele- gate Student Council Convention, East Orange, Hackensack 2,3; Stage Manager Senior Play 4; Captain Tennis 3,4. EMU is quiet, dignified, and neat. He is popular both socially and scholastically. We have discovered that Emil speaks German and French with a great deal of exactness. ROGER WILLIAMS General “A quiet lad but a good one.” Electrical Squad. OGER is the grand, supreme, illus- trious electrician. Although he handles thousands of volts lately, he is so careful that he has never shocked any of us very seriously. That is, not yet. However, he might break loose some day. EILEEN E. WOLFF Classical Radcliffe College “A little of diety, a little bit of nobility, and a little bit of risque.” Greek Pageant 1; Dramatic Society 1; Debat- ing Society 4; Library Service Council 3,4; Hockey 2,3,4; Tennis 3; Track 1,2; Basketball 2,4; French Club 3,4; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4; First Prize Cicero Translation 3; Secretary Library Service Council 4; Swimming. AH we have a budding genius among us. We often wonder what is going on underneath that mass of curls when Eileen is sitting— oh, so still, during English. Or writ- ing poetry—oh, so diligently, during Chemistry. WILLIAM HENRY WOLTERS General University of Pennsylvania “Virtue lies in the struggle, not in the prize.” To our knowledge Bill has but one serious fault. He gets up too early in the morning. You've prob- ably seen our early bird up there in the third corridor studying about the time the majority of us lazy folks de- cide to get up. F. EVELYN YOUNG General Undecided “None knew thee but to love thee Nor named thee but to praise.” Class Officer 1; Student Council 1; Oracle Board 2; Student Patrol 3; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4; Or- chestra 38,4; Junior Play Committee 3; Room Dec- orating Committee 3,4; Musical Comedy 2; Bas- ketball 1; Hockey 1; Greek Fantasy 1.

She has also served on the patrol, Oracle board, and Student Council. [57 ] [58 ] HELEN MURIEL ZIMMER Zim, Zimmy Commercial Ballard School “T have a heart with room for every joy.” State Penmanship Contest 1; Radio Shorthand Contest 3; Certificate Order of Gregg Artists 3; Business Staff of Musical Comedy 4. E NOTICE that Helen’s friends don’t mind the cloudy weather when in her company. Helen’s sunny disposition is a natural born element and is the first e ssential in business. Will Helen succeed? The Senior Class says “Yes” in unison. MARY BRINKLEY Maizee, Blondie General Music—Piano and Harp “A kindly smile to all she lent.” Basketball, Tennis. E HAVE heard the rumor that Mary is quite fond of bugs and spirit lamps, but only Mary will tell you the truth. However, Mary has a rather good sense of humor, and she can be found the cause of many the laughs at lunch. REID BUSH General Cornell “For many we search before we find A heart so manly and so kind.” Peddie Prep 1; Book Club 4, 5. OET, philosopher, critic. Reid is all there. He is quiet and reserved. He is second Cal Coolidge, but when he does speak, words of wisdom drop from his lips. We expect to hear more of Reid later. DOROTHY MAE BUTLER Dot General College—Music “Nothing endures but personal qualities.” Tennis; Basketball. ort must be a very unusual girl. She says she is going to college to study. The Ka.ermposcore Board wishes her luck at her future work. ANNIE ELIZABETH CIAMPA Ann, Anita Commercial Business “Not much talk—a great, sweet silence.” Greek Fantasy 2. A NNIE is going to try her skill in the secretarial world like many other of our classmates. There’s a hard road ahead of her, but she can make the grade, we feel certain. ROBERT S. CLARKE Bob General University of Michigan “Thinking is but an idle waste of thought.” oB proved his skill in the electrical line when he played with the switches back-stage as a member of the Electrical Board. He is greatly interested in Automotive Engineer- ing. He hopes to graduate from an engineering school so that he may delve into the mysteries of automo- bile motors, especially Pontiacs. WALTER CLISSOLD General Undecided “His virtues are great, his faults are little.” Track 1; Library Council 1,2,3,4; Junior Man- ager Football 2; Senior Manager Baseball 3; Jun- ior Roast Committee. ALTER hails from Bound Brook, and if you have any more like him, send them down, Bound Brook. He is very considerate in asking stu- dents how they feel. It’s getting to be quite a habit, but nevertheless, Walter means well. He is also quite active in sports besides managing them. GEORGE COLUCCI General Undecided “To do my best and play my part.” HIs lad is one of the funniest in our class, humorous, I mean. We wonder with Mr. Patch when Georgie will grow up. However, Mr. Colucci is not a fellow to pick a fight with. He is alone in his weight as a boxer. [59 ] Ve RENE COSSANO Ren General Agriculturist “T will study and get ready.” Freshman year, Oakland High School, Oakland, Nebraska; Sophomore Year, North High School, Omaha, Nebraska; Debating Society ; Senior Foot- ball Team; Senior Basketball Team; Cane Rush. ENE comes to us from out west where men are men. Thus, here is a man. Rene is intensely inter- ested in agriculture and we believe that he will be successful. Rene is a good scout and a dandy fellow. HELEN DAVIS Dutch General College “A star did you say? A whole constellation.” Glee Club 3,4; Musical Comedy 4; Student Pa- trol 4; Hockey 2,3. H, Miss Paris, in person. None other than Helen herself. What a charming picture she makes—a rest for weary eyes at all times. Helen is another musical member and we often hear her warbling away in the glee club. CHESTER GALLOWAY Chet General Bell Laboratories, New York “Cheerful whenever you meet him.” Class Baseball 3,4; Baseball Reserve 3; Stage Manager Musical Comedy 4; Junior Play 4; Class Basketball 4. ACTOR supreme, Chet had the audi- ence roaring by his antics in the Junior Play. Chet likes to do any- thing connected with the stage. He is also somewhat of a baseball player. We know he will be a success in the world of discovery as he intends to enter the Bell Laboratories. CAROLYN GEIGER General Normal School “A quiet even temperament and in her work she’s quite content.” CAROLYN is ce rtainly a good worker. She is sure to make an excellent teacher, for she has had plenty of practice and a winning way with children as well as grown folks. [ 60 ] Vk BEATRICE GOLDBERG Bea General Undecided “A woman is always changeable and capricious.” Dramatic Society 4; Christmas Decoration Com- mittee 1,2; Banker, Pageant 1,2; Memorial Day Exercise 3. B 4 is going to be a stenographer, and we hope that her employer will like her as much as we do. BERTHA L. HAMILTON Bert Commercial Business “An oun ce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.” BeEsTHA is going to be a stenogra- pher. Never for you, Bertha. We know you'd make a good stenogra- pher, but we can’t see you taking orders from any man. No, indeed, you'll settle down and marry and rule the roost. BERTRAM HETFIELD Bert Classical Dartmouth “My thoughts and my conduct are my own.” Class Baseball 2; Reserve Football 2,3; Varsity Football 4; Class Football 3. THERE are some of us who don’t say much but who have always been ready to do their bit for P. H. S. Bert belongs to this group. His good nature, fine sportsmanship, and per- severance have won him many friends. MARY KACZOR General Undecided “Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.” ARY is so much like Stella that we have had a hard time deciding which picture to put beside which write-up. Hope we have it right. Mary is an awfully good sport and has been so willing to lend a hand that we shall miss her very much. [ 61] [ 62 ] STELLA E. KACZOR Stell General Bucknell! “Good nature is a great asset.” Field Day 1; Gym Demonstration 3; Junior Play Committee 3; Art Exhibition 1,3; Christmas Decorating Committee 1,2,3,4. GTELLA is a clever miss. If anything requires quick thinking and man- aging, call on Stella. She is also a good hand at algebra. Luck to you, Stella. MARIE ANITA KALE Babe General Normal School “Not stepping o’er the bounds of modesty.” Greek Fantasy 1; Christmas Decorating Com- mittee 1,2,3; Gym Pageant 2. IMI422E is small and graceful and is very fond of dancing. She’s quiet, oh, so quiet, but a good, loyal friend. Usually quiet people make the best of friends to confide in. HAZEL E. KLINGER Sunshine General Music “Music is well said to be the speech of angels.” Field Day 1; P.H.S. Orchestra 1,2,3,4; County Orchestra 4; Graduation Orchestra 1,2,3; Play Orchestra 1,2,3,4; Musical Comedy Orchestra 4; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4; Public Safety Patrol 4. [TE EVER there lived a person with a golden heart, it is Hazel. She’ll do anything for anybody and so will- ingly that it is a pleasure to work with her. Moreover, Hazel is a mu- sician of no small note. We wish her success in her musical career. VINCENT G. LOCKE Vince General Business “The man that blushes is not quite a brute.” Debating 3,4. Vinny is a quiet fellow until you know him and then hold on. There may be funnier people, but we are doubtful. He is so funny that he says he’s going to sell insurance. Hope you save some lives, Vince. ADELE ELIZABETH McVOY General Business “Life may be one grand sweet song to some, but it’s written in ragtime for many.” Greek Fantasy 1; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4. oop things come in small pack- ages—at least Bob thinks so. We often wonder how small Adele would be if she removed her high heels. We don’t see how she could be any smaller, but just look at those heels. Will miracles never cease! MIRIAM MACHLIN General Undecided “She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with, and pleasant too, to think of.” H, HA, my proud beauty, I have you at last. You know, confi- dentially Miriam tried to leave us two years ago, but she just couldn’t stay away. So we have her back again. Well, we’re glad to have her anyway. ROBERT J. MacNAB Bob General Undecided “So very kind, yet silent.” HIEe is a person who loves the merry springtime, at least it seems so, for he appears to have spring fever all year round. Bob be- lieves in the slogan: “It is all right if you can get away with it.” IRMA FRANCES MARDER Commercial Business “A quiet even temperament and in her work she’s quite content.” North Plainfield 1,2,3; Class Basketball Team ; Girls’ Glee Club; Dramatic Club Play. ERE’S another importation from across the brook who has joined our ranks. She has taken an active part in the singing club and acting. We welcome new classmates from across the brook. [ 63 ] SSX MARTHA M. MORRIS General Undecided “What sweet delight a quiet life affords.” Curtis High 1,2,3. ARTHA led an uninteresting life until she heard of Plainfield High—and then. Well, Martha has decided she likes P. H. S. At least we hope so. Anyway Martha seems to have decided to stay here a while. GENEVIEVE LAURA NELSON Punch General Designing “The mildest manner and the gentlest heart.” Home Arts Exhibition 1,3; Field Day 1; Draw- ing Exhibition 2. ENEVIEVE is such a wee, small miss we wonder how she ever stood the gaff of the life here in P. H. S. How one little person can do so much and so well is a mystery to her classmates. WINIFRED MAE NELSON Winnie General Interior Decoration “Patience is a virtue.” Home Arts Exhibition 1,3; Field Day 1; Draw- ing Exhibition 2. INNIE is another quiet, unassum- ing miss. We hardly know what to write, she is so helpful and quiet. JOHN PROBASCO Jack General College “And still they gazed and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew.” Electrical Squad 1,2,3. ACK has taken an express train and whirled through four years’ work in three and a half. He is the boy who added three minutes to a test period the other day. Jack fixed all the defunct clocks and broken bells. If a little smile goes a long way, Jack’s has unlimited possibilities. KENNETH ROBINSON Ken, Robbie General Alabama “Life is a jest and ali things show it, I thought so once, but now I know it.” Track 1,3,4; Swimming 3,4,5; Varsity Swim- ming 4,5; Student Patrol; Cheer Leader 4,5; Class Football 5. SoME people have the happy faculty of always seeing the bright side of life. Such a person is Ken. His hair-comb is the marvel of our school. It’s so slick that we bet Ken’s girl uses it for a mirror to powder her nose. Ken’s place will be hard to fill and our less fortunate underclassmen surely will miss him. GRACE MARY ROTOLA Giggles Commercial Business “She loves mirth.” Basketball 1; Tennis 2. ARY, as judged by her name, can create more laughter among a group of people than Harold Lloyd. Her giggles can be heard here and there, and once you hear her, you'll start laughing yourself. MARJORIE RUSSELL Jerry Commercial Business “Gentle words, quiet words are, after all, the most powerful words.” JERRY is going to be a secretary. More power to you. Such nice rosy cheeks would induce any man to employ her, we’re sure. She'll be an efficient stenographer for some- one. SALVATORE SCAVUZZO Sal General Undecided “A man’s a man for all o’that.” AL says he has no achievements, but we don’t think so. We know that he has supported every team whether it is baseball, basketball, track, or football. He is just chock full of school spirit. [ 65 ] ae W m | HELEN A. SCHENCK General Business “Her loveliness I never knew until she smiled on me.” ELEN is one of Plainfield High’s quiet girls. Queer as it may seem, we have very few of them. She has a smile that leaves one glad to be living. It has won us here so it will surely win her a high position in business. JEANNE M. SCHOENBAUM General ° Undecided “Eues darker than the darkest pansies.” OV oIci MES Amis! Une petite jeune fille francais!” Jeanne is our star French student having been born in France. We can predict a bright future for Jeanne as a French teacher, but she is undecided as to what to do. CHARLES STEPHEN SCHULEK, JR. Chick, Charlie General Undecided “All the world loves a lover.” Track 1,2,3,4; Electrical Board 1. H, HERE is afast man. As an elec- trician he ought to make good, but being a lover of airplanes, he ought to follow his love. Good things are supposed to come in small pack- ages; well, Dot and Charlie must cer- tainly be good. But putting all jok- ing aside, Charlie is a dandy fellow and a good scout. JOSEPH THOMAS SPISSO Joe General Banking “Never idle a moment.” High School Orchestra. ERE is another of Plainfield’s musi- cal students. Joe is very quiet, studious, and industrious. We might say Joe could have a brilliant future in music, but he has planned to enter the banking world. [ 66 ] BERNARD A. TOWNLEY Bernie General Undecided “Why study history—I make it.” Senior Play 4. MONG other things, Bernie is an actor. This Thespian in real life has a pleasing and intangible some- thing that makes you like him. Some day we hope to see Bernie’s classic features dazzling Broadway. RICHARD TWINE General Undecided “He is a wire who doth talk but little.” ICHARD is a quiet fellow, and we have not heard so much about him, but his friends say he is a good fellow and lots of fun and we wish we knew him better. ELIZABETH G. VIEBROCK General Undecided “A sunny temper gilds the edge of darkest clouds.” FiuizaBeTH is an industrious miss who has a reputation of being a hard worker. That name might be a help to some of the rest of us. How do you do it, Elizabeth? RUTH CAROLYN WHEATON Ruthie General Arnold “To dance forever and then some more.” Greek Fantasy 1; Hockey 1,2,3,4; Basketball 2, 3,4; Swimming 2,3,4; Track Captain 2,3; Hi-Tri 1,2,3,4; Swimming Team 1,2,3; Hi-Tri Basketball Team 4; Musical Comedy 4; Junior Roast Com- mittee 4 F EVER a lady danced through High School it was Ruth. She was chosen unanimously the best dancer of 30, so draw your own conclusions. We hope she dances through college and life as successfully as she has through school. HELEN J. WILDAY General Undecided “Art is more godlike than science, Science discovers; art creates.” ELEN is a clever artist and we ex- pect some day to see her work decorating the walls of some mu- seum. We wish we could have seen more of her talent here in school. We have heard so much about it. FLORENCE MAE JARVIS Commercial Business “Silence is the perfect herald of joy.” 7LORENCE is a person very quiet but studious. To those who do not know her, she appears very un- friendly, but to those of us who know her, her sunny disposition is her best trait. ABRAM KUNZMAN Abe General Undecided “Man is made great or little by his own will.” Football 1; Baseball 1,2; Basketball 3; Cane Rush 3; Cane Rush 4, BE is quite a basketball star. He has been shooting for P. H. S. for several years now, and we'll miss his help on the team. Abe should be a lawyer. He is one of the two factors that make an argument around school. ROSCOE WORMLEY, JR. Wiggily Classical Undecided “We pass for what we are.” Latin Play 3. Roscoe is a Virgil student. Just ask anyone in first period class. Ros- coe chauffeurs in his spare time and we are all going for a ride some time. Hope we will come back alive.

Out of these candidates and the six returning lettermen Coach Stine molded one of the scrappiest and most formidable scholastic teams in the state. This year’s schedule was one of the most difficult ever attempted by any school in the state, for it included such teams as New Brunswick, Red Bank, and Neptune. The team completed this schedule with six victories and but only two defeats and one tie. The New Brunswick game again proved a jinx, and Plainfield was de- feated only after a close, hard battle. The same cry is passed on to next year’s team. BEAT NEW BRUNSWICK!! To Captain Chet Huff, Lou Donzalski, and Tom Burns go the honor and distinction of mention on the All-State Team. The ability and fight of these stars were an outstanding factor in the team’s success. Putting the whole story in a nutshell, we had one of the best aggregations ever put on the gridiron in Plainfield High School. [ 85 ] WVAL TIVEALOON AHL BASKETBALL ASKETBALL was neither a success nor a failure this year. Mr. Winkler, the new coach, naturally started under a handicap, but nevertheless turned in a more than fair season. The team was handicapped at the start by the loss of some valuable players through varying circumstances. The season was started with a victory over Bound Brook. Then the team slumped for several games, but snapped into form again with spectacular wins over South Orange and East Orange. Montclair defeated our boys, but they came back with a victory over Red Bank. Then came the City Championship Series, and, for the first time in years, Plainfield dropped a game to the Canucks. However, the team proved that they could come back by winning over their rivals from across the brook in a close and exciting second game. Next came defeats by New Brunswick and East Side, but an unexpected win over the strong Central team more than made up for these losses. Then came the final and deciding game of the City Series. Our big red team cinched the title in the rousing game that followed. The season was closed with a heart-breaking loss by one point to Neptune n the State Tournament at Trenton. Success is not confined to victory, and the prospects for next year are bright indeed. Some very good talent has been uncovered, and Coach Winkler should lead his charges off to a flying start next year.

Meetings were held regularly every Thursday morning during assembly period. The Oxford Plan was used in most of the debates. We had interesting round table discussions, and on the whole everyone participated enthusiastically. The most important debates of the season were the Triangular Debate held in early April with Westfield and Morristown, which displayed the train- ing and ability of the members of the various teams. The question was re- solved: That Installment Buying is Detrimental to the Best Interests of the American People. Those on the affirmative team were Roger Gay, Matilda Squires, Walter Romer, and Hugh Sweeney, alternate. Although they lost the debate at Morristown, they showed interest and good sportsmanship. The negative team defeated at Westfield consisted of Robert E. Smith, Milton Meissner, Nils Wessel, and Ethel Polsky, alternate. We see great possibilities in different members for the future success of the society, and sincerely hope that they will co-operate in encouraging more debaters, and interest the greater portion of the student body. We attribute our success and enjoyable sessions to the efforts of our presi- dent, Roger Gay and to our coach, Miss Ruth Le Fevre.

It “was”. What? The most successful accomplishment of the class of ’30 and one of the finest of these annual productions that has ever been presented in P. H. S. A. A. Milne, when he wrote “Belinda” must have been in an extremely ticklish mood, because it literally “brought down the house.” Most of the laughs were “pulled” by our newly-found Thespian. Neal Van Middlesworth (much to his surprise) in the role of Claude Devinish, a sophisticated poet, when he finds himself involved in a dual love affair. The title role and star part was frivolously executed by Gilberte Frey (Swiss ac- cent and all). Opposite her, as the long lost husband, we find no other than handsome “Bernie” Townley. In the juvenile lead, opposite Neal, “Winnie” Disinger appears with genuine “Goldilocks” curls. Then Baxter, an old statistician (guess who?)—‘“Willie” Cohen with mustache, goatee, frock-coat and all. Betty, the maid, was ably played by Grace Halliwell of musical comedy fame. The Senior Class, when it leaves the portals of P. H. S. and goes into the world, may well be proud and boastful of this superb production. a BE or not to be—that is the question.” This Shakespearean excerpt [ 99 ] er CLA‘4 HIATORY FIRST CANTO—-FRESHMAN JOYS Ah distinctly I remember It was in the bleak September; And each sad, uncertain member Wandered gaping in the door— Still meandered aimless ever, Prompted by some vain endeavor, In an innocence that never Had been ever seen before. Then a fiend that here is nameless, With a savage joy and shameless, Brought them unsuspecting, blameless To a maiden named Miss Moore. (Curses on that Sophomore!) And our days became afflicted; Harmless pastimes were restricted, (Even spit-balls were indicted) ; Life itself became a bore. Still the subjects of correction Were allowed their class election; Thomas Burns was their selection, And the oath of office swore. How all precedent surrendered To the verdancy that splendored On the night that we were tendered That reception fixed of yore! Then approached the dread occasions Of our first examinations, And we suffered such sensations As were never felt before. Followed murmurs of elation, Louder groans of lamentation; But the sound of execration Was an angry ocean’s roar. So the wrath above descended, Till at last our trials were ended, And one day we comprehended We were “Freshies” nevermore. [ 104] SECOND CANTO— ON SOPHOMORES Tell me not in mournful numbers Life is but a steady grind; That the student never slumbers, Studies till he’s nearly blind. “Life is real; life is earnest,” Was not said of every soul. Ask the Sophomore if he yearnest That to labor be his goal. So the second year we started Stepping in the sands of time, And our Freshman fears departed Left a confidence sublime. First our leader re-elected, Then we settled down to play: Made the “Freshies” so dejected That their hair was like to gray. When to swimming took our daughters, Then our sons to skating flew: So we triumphed with the waters Either side of thirty-two. Yet the year could not be ended Till some briny tears were shed And the high resolves ascended Of examinations bred. THIRD CANTO—JUNIORS Half a grade, half a grade, Say, did we make things smoke. Half a grade onward; Straight thru athletics broke, Into the Junior year And our debaters spoke Charged our three hundred. Till the halls thundered. “Forward this bright brigade; What skill the girls revealed Win for the school!” we said: Till court and hockey field So on the third year’s course Saw all opponents yield Started three hundred. Shattered and sundered! [ 105 ] Was there a soul dismayed Oh, the wild acts we threw: When the class tax was laid? Found “Cinderella’s” shoe; Not though it left his purse On “Brink of Silence” too Pillaged and plundered. Raved we and thundered. Well that we had to pay, So ends the charge we made; Saved for the rainy day! Then we passed on a grade, Who now would dare to say All that was left of us, Someone had blundered? Left of three hundred. FOURTH CANTO—SENIORS Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the stirring times in the Senior year: ’Twas the month of September in ’29 When we rallied reiuctantly into line To finish a long and hard career. Less than a month was permitted to pass Ere the leaders were chosen to pilot the class; Burnsy and Craig were the men to come through With Finney and Fancher the feminine two. Then settled we down to a long winter’s grind (How entrance requirements can burden a mind!) Till nary a Senior the devil could find That was idly waiting for something to do. Though up to our ears in an ocean of work, The call to athletics we never could shirk; The boys on the basketball championship seized, While the girls through most everything easily breezed. But the time that we really performed at our best Was the night that the Juniors so sadly were messed; Yet until the class roasting you'd hardly have guessed How easily they could be worried and teased. You know the rest, and it’s needless to say How “Belinda” was great when she got under way, How the trying exams were at last gotten through, And they gave us diplomas, the fortunate few. So now the long journey has come to an end; But the love of that school we have learned to defend Shall stay with us always wherever we wend, As our gratitude glows with a loyalty true. Dan OrcuTTr [ 106 ] ZX Ss = — | PROPHECIES OME TIME AGO the Year Book called on Professor Seesall Knowsall, % mystic seer of the East (Side), and, after crossing his palm with much silver, secured his services for this annual. Translated from the original Sanskrit, the prof’s native tongue, by your humble scribe, the follow- ing are glimpses of the illustrious class of ’30 in daze to come—twenty years hence. For greater ease in reading, we have adopted the form below. From the clear depths of the ball emerges a desk, so large and impressive that the cheerful countenance, expanse of forehead, and vaguely familiar horn- rimmed spectacles are barely visible. Ah! There is a gilt sign on the huge glass top: Mr. Smith—The Principal. Why, of course! Studious Bob Smith! Still, he’s gained so much avoirdupois that I’d never have known him if he hadn’t had his mouth open and his hands waving—speech-making, as ever! Obviously, this next scene is a banquet. Around a table distinguished- looking intellectuals are seated, hands to ears the better the hear the toast- master’s presentation of a man of serious mien. ‘“——-Mr. Edward Breese, eminent philosopher and author——”’! Hello! I hope this bearded gentleman in the surgeon’s garb will pardon our intrusion into—well, it looks like an operating room. He has just turned away from a man lying on a table. Now he is laying aside three knives, two axes, and a screw driver, and is removing his kimona and cap. Well, as I live and breathe—it’s Roger Gay, the boy-who-wanted-to-be-a-doctor! The harassed-looking gentleman who has his feet twined around the legs of his chair and his fingers twined in his hair, in a posture suggesting agonized thought, looks startlingly like an athlete of no mean prowess who graced the class of °30 with his presence. It would seem that advertising layouts for the Friday afternoon Post present more of a problem to Bill Nolan than did ever an opponent on the field of sport. This is a charming picture. A comely female stands surrounded by a ring of exceedingly small and exceedingly shiny children, whom she seems to be leading in song. Eureka! I have it! The female is Lois Fancher, and the children, the kindergarten group Lois always longed to teach! And here, in a vast, luxurious office, an athletic figure sits bolt upright in a swivel chair. No one but a bank official could be so stern and erect. But who—? I know it now! Folks, let me introduce Mr. Thomas Burns, First Vice-President of the Haywire National Bank! And next we see a very picture of sartorial elegance sprawled in a chair in a busy, up-to-date office, puffing judicially on a cigar, examining a busy ticker-tape with a thoughtful frown. And who might that be? Well, it might be almost anybody, but it looks very much to me as though Gordon Craig has entered the world of high finance. A door stands open before us, a door bearing the legend “Business Man- ager of Shubert Productions.” It wouldn’t hurt anything to take a look inside, so—. A slight, short man is sitting at a desk, writing rapidly. Apparently, Joe Schuldenfrei’s natural aptitude for writing checks, which he encouraged as manager of several P. H. S. stage hits (?), has turned out to be useful! [ 108 ] I should say that this represents the interior of a well-equipped, modern gymnasium. A class is in progress, a half hundred young men striving to emulate the strenuous contortions of the director. Something about that athletic frame is faintly suggestive—Ah! that sandy hair cinches it! I present Chester Huff, Physical Educator. The vision, mirage—call it what you will—of a classroom presents itself. About the room some twenty girls whisper in groups, pass notes, compare clothes, or indulge in other maidenly diversions of girls deprived of the com- pany of boys. But his unwonted absence of the stronger sex is explained by the group of yound males clustered about the teacher’s desk. That attractive female seems to be explaining something—but it is not the subject that in- terests the boys! Olive Caldwell! That’s the name, but I’d never have remem- bered it if she hadn’t giggled! A huge airplane taxies to rest on the landing field and a helmeted and be- goggled figure climbs out the cabin. Minutely he inspects the ship, then hangs an O. K. tag on it. The name on the card-board slip is—wait a minute, let’s decipher it: F-r-a-n-k B-o-n-n-e-l-l, Chief of Designs Dep’t! Abruptly we have been transported to that portion of Fifth Avenue where the ultra-fashionable shops flourish. As we are borne unresisting along by the crowd, we are left high and dry before an establishment catering to women’s needs in wearing apparel. And the plate-glass front bears this legend: Vivian Pearson, Designer. Well, well, well! An art gallery? So it would seem. And the knot of long-haired men and short-haired women in that corner? We'll have to investigate that. Let’s walk over there and look it over—Ah! But the beautiful picture does not interest us, as much as does the name of the artist. Those firm, precise letters awaken a dim memory. E. W.—who could that be? Eureka! Emil Wich! I’ve read of suc h a place as this seems to be, but this is my first actual visit to one. But from the confusion, the met sitting about him hats on head, the haze of smoke, and other signs known to the reader of stories of newspaper life, I should unhesitatingly identify this high-speed office as the city-room of some large newspaper. And who is the familiar-looking chap over in the corner, who is so feverishly pounding out such an infernal racket on that battered typewriter? Ah! Those dark locks peeping from beneath the pearl- gray fedora (featured in “What the Well-Dressed Man Will Wear’) betrays his identity. As a live and breathe, it’s Harold Hoffman, reporter! ! ! And what could be sweeter, what better, more fitting finale than this last scene (at least, we hope it’s the last), a pretty, domestic picture, the embodi- ment of martial bliss! The well-known tired business man, with the news- paper and the pipe, and the equally well-known fatigued clubwoman busily writing committee reports at a desk. But hark—a feeble piping cry descends from the upper regions and a fond smile lights the face of the fatigued club- woman, while the T. B. M. lays aside his paper with a fatuous grin. By these signs shall ye know them”—for doting parents. But—No! No! Not that! It can’t be—Don’t tell me that this blissfully-wedded couple can be Gilberte pe and Ed Breese, the man-hater and woman-hater, respectively, of the class of 730! [ 109 ] WG THE POLICEMEN’S CHORUS CHORUS FROM “ECHOING HEARTS” Lo PH LAST WILL AND TESTAMERT NOw YE, all and sundry, that we, the Senior Class of Plainfield High K School, being possessed of our right minds, right hands, and left eye- brows, have solemnly and with due observance of procedure, ritual, and the laws of the Outerstate Comment Division concocted this document which shall for lack of more appropriate epithets be styled our Last Will and Testament. And if you doubt, misdoubt, or fail to credit the above, write to your Congressman and sometime next August you will receive a package of seeds. EXPLANATORY NOTES UPON THE ABOVE 1. sundry—this to the best of our knowledge is the old Swedish adverb mean- ing Freshmen. 2. right minds—the left minds were not mentioned so they have become left- outs and have been omitted. ritual—this is only the editors’ pun on write. Kindly excuse. 4. concocted—to concoct take three eggs, two cups glue, one ounce yak but- ter, one Chinese dog license, three gallons kerosene, one High Tariff Senator, and one left handed Eskimo. Mix well and stir. When the room is full of gas, drop in a match and beat it. 5. epithets—because of the censorship we will have to ask that you use your own imagination on this one. 6. seeds—there are many kinds of these seeds. Summer squash and summer not. FIRSTLY—We, the Senior Class, do leave, bequeath, and grant to the Junior Class of this year, day, date, various legacies as stated: item: The duty of putting on a Senior Play. item: Best wishes for a bigger and better Baby Day. SECONDLY, we do cast away and drop at the feet of the Sophomore A, W, X, Land J Classes the following trifles: item: The right of being called Junior M’s, N’s, P’s, or Q’s. item: The right of being stung $11.50 for a $2.00 class ring. item: The honor, glory, and other emoluments derived from the Junior Play. And eighteenthly and lastly, Dear Brethren, to the Freshmen we leave the undying honor and glory of having been mentioned in the KALEIDOSCOPE. fein TO THE NEXT ORACLE BOARD WE LEAVE IN ALL DUE HONOR THE FOLLOWING: item: One bottle rubbing alcohol (slightly used). item: Twenty-four letters addressed to the advertising manager and marked “Urgent”. These were delivered last September and have not yet been opened. item: A fine collection of miscellaneous year books. These make fasci- nating reading in the long winter evening. item: Our blessing upon you, dear children, and may you live happily ever after. PERSONAL BEQUESTS item: To Miss Moore, one jar paste and one hundred seventy-four thumbtacks. These originally came from the library. Render unto Caesar those things which are Caesar’s. item: To Miss Bonp, seventeen yo-yo’s for her collection. She would probably get them anyway. item: To Miss CummMING, one piece chewing gum (slightly used). item: To Mr. Hupsarp a vacation.
