aS 4 — — 7 Pairtiela High School PITRTIC TIRRARYV PTAINFIELD. N. J. Horefuord LD ’31 has run its course, and for us there is no to- morrow here — only the lingering memories of a happy yesterday. In publishing this book we've tried to relate a complete history of our four years in Plainfield High School — our failures, our successes, our disappointments, and our joys. And if we've helped to tell other students, alumni, and friends of our Alma Mater these things, we will have succeeded in our purpose and our efforts will not have been in vain. DoROTHY J. GLAESER. 12] Che New Adventure The ‘“‘New Adventure’ soared into the air; Then faltered, and again swooped down to earth, Reluctant to forsake the hangar’s girth, Of wrathful skies and storms too well-aware. She soared again, resolved to do and dare, As confidence in self found full rebirth. The mighty task remained to prove her worth, And on she flew, defying the sun’s glare. So we, departing from familiar things, Must venture out upon the world unknown, ‘Test knowledge gained in this scholastic field. We waver, doubtful of our untried wings, E’er mindful that we must progress alone, With this our slogan, ‘‘Strive, but never yield!’ FLORENCE GOLDSMITH, ’31. 457469 THE, the Senior Class of 1931, dedicate our annual to two whom we hold in great- est esteem. To Mrs. ELEANOR C. HENDERSON and Miss EMILY A. PORTER L4 J ane gives us the greatest pleas- ure to do this in an expression of our great thanks and apprecia- tion of their helpful guidance and inspiring friendship.

[ 23 ] MERRITT ADAMS “Moea”’ Scientific Physical Training “Moderation makes life beautiful.” Junior Play; Student Patrol 4; Varsity Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Musical Comedy; Class Chairman 3. Merritt is quite an actor. He has graced the stage with his winning disposition, cheerful smile, and, above all, his hair- comb which is a marvel.

Course in Music “She does not say all that she knows, but always knows what she says.”’ In time we think that Florence may be- come a famous musician.

Well, Ben, here's how. He will most likely be the proprie- tor of a high, wide, and handsome statior ery store, since he has nuch business abiliry. [ 24 ] ANNA 8S. BAKER “Ann” Commercial Undecided “T have a heart with room for every joy.” Soccer 4; Tennis 1; Hi-Tri 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 4. To worry little and study less is Ann’s idea of happiness.

Even though Vernon couldn’t be on the swimming team this year, he took the job of manager and handled the team very suc- cessfully. If he handles everything as well, he’ll surely “‘swim his way”’ to suc- cess. [ 25 ] ALLEN BEALS Classical Business “What delight a quiet life affords.’ Al is one of those carefree, happy-go- lucky gents who worry about today and let tomorrow worry about itself.

HENDRINA BEEKMAN “Renee” General C Nurse Training — Brooklyn Hosp. “Zealous yet modest.” Field Day 3; Cloakroom Patrol 3; Christmas Deco- ration Committee 4; Banking Committee 2. “Smiles” ought to be Hendrina’s nick- name.

ANTHONY BELSER “Tony” Scientific Princeton “Exhausting thought—study.”’ Banded morass lsrack SqWadadwor Tony is so quiet and so small that you can hardly tell when he is around. ‘The teachers say that with his brains and a lit- tle more will-power Tony could really do great things.

Moe is one of the most serious-minded seniors in P. H. S. More power to you, Moe. We hope you will be as successful in business as you have been in P. H. S. STELLA BICKNELL OS PY EM Commercial Business “Silence is sweeter than speech.” Stella is one of our prettiest girls and, what is more, she has never been known to lose her temper. We think Stella is plan- ning to join a harem and talk Turkey, be- cause she certainly takes the hat when it comes to chewing Turkish Taffy, which, by the way, she orders wholesale. CHARLES BLAKE “Charlie” “Blakey” Classical Undecided “T trust that nothing can make life a burden to me.” Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 3, 4; Class aa 4; Band 1, 2; College Basketball League Charles is another one of those peaceful chaps.

We'll miss you, Fran. WILLIAM BREESE “Windy” Classical Princeton, “We pass for what we are.”’ Band 2. Bill can not only think, but can put his thoughts into words.

BUTTERWORTH “Em” “Butty” Commercial Business “Happy am I; from care I'm free.” Soccer 4; Field Day 3.

[30] i - HAZEL ELEANOR CASE “Casey” Commercial Undecided “Life 1s made up of little things.”’ Hi-Tri 1; Basketball 2. We didn’t know much about Hazel, so we had her “‘trailed’’ and the suspect was found to be making daily visits to P. H. S. The mystery deepened but we soon dis- covered the motive. Sh—sh—sh, Hazel is going to become a stenographic artist, if you please! NANCY CHASE General C Beaver College “A sunny temper gilds the edge of life’s darkest cloud.”’ lebediiay tl, Fy Sh, aie Nancy’s bright smiling face and pleas- ant disposition have won for her the love of all.

Al- though she’s been quiet during her years at Plainfield High School, she has not been unnoticed. GERTRUDE COLLING “Gert” General Parson's — New York “What I do is all that concerns me, not what other people think.” Year Book Board 4.

[31] MARY VIRGINIA COLUCCI “Babe” Commercial New York University “As full of spirit as the month of May.’ Track 2; Soccer 4; Glee Club 4.

JAMES G. CONNELLY “Trish” Classical Business “Unthinking, idle, wild, and young.” The world’s biggest bluffer in person! We'll always wonder how Jim ever man- aged to squeeze through high school. His middle name is probably Houdini. MARGARET CONNOLLY “Peg” Commercial Business “She mixed reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth.” Student Patrol 4; Hi-Tri 4; Field Day Program 3; Christmas Decorating Committee 4; Home Room Banker 3. Margaret’s mind is usually made up, and when it is, it’s useless to try to change it. To all of her friends, she’s the kind of a pal everyone would appreciate. [ 32 ] CATHERINE CONNORS “Kay” General Nursing “Thou art so womanly and resolute of will.” ie Tn 4 Catherine, with her mischievous habits, incessantly keeps her companions giggling. Her pals are continually held in suspense, awaiting her next practical joke. We all appreciate Catherine’s humor and like her more for it. DANIEL COURAINE “Dan” Scientific Rutgers “The devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape.’ Class Football 3; Ciass Baseball; College League Basketball 3, 4. Dan has sailed through high school without a worry in his head, but at last he is a Senior and is starting to work. More power to you, Dan, and here’s hopin’ you become famous.

HELEN DISINGER General B Art Schoo! “Her voice was ever soft.” Classroom Chairman 4; Economic Prize 1, 2, 3; Shakespearian Players Reception Committee; Stage Designer Musical Comedy 3. Helen’s hobby is leather craft, and she spends most of her spare time in making leather objects. Helen’s time, which is not spared for such a side-line, is apparently used in studying, for she is continually on the honor roll. She is also adept at the piano. RUTH E. DOBSON “Ruthie” Classical State Teachers’ College “What great woman was ever in love?”’ Second Prize Caesar; First Prize for Cicero; Or- chestra; Hi-Tri; Service Club; Debating; Field Day Pageant.

Marjorie seems to have lived through her school life without a care or a worry. We shall always remember her boisterous giggle. GUTTY FARINA General Undecided “A lad with no claim, To fortune or fame.’ No matter where you go, Gutty is al- ways there with his motorcycle. This daredevil can ride on anything with two wheels. Gutty is quite small, and if you don’t see him, you surely won’t hear him. Aside from these, Gutty is a good student. SIDNEY FEINBERG “Sid” General Physical Director “Well, well, young man; life is life; let’s live it.” Perth Amboy High 1 ,2; Football 4. Sid’s the boy that came from Perth Amboy. He can play tennis like nobody's business. He’s full of pep and vim and can take a good joke.

You never see Al when he isn’t smiling. He is one of the peachiest fellows in P. H. S., and we'll surely miss him when he leaves. He was Captain of the Football Team and made an excellent leader. [ 37 ] GEORGIA GALANE “Georgie” “Gee” General C f Glassboro Normal Schoo! “Td rather die than be out of style.” Swimming 2, 4; Basketball 2; Hi-Tri 1, 2, 3, 4; Cabinet 3; Service Club 4; Christmas Decorating Committee 3, 4: Gym Pageant 3; Tennis Tourna- ment 2; Hi-Tri Swimming Team 2.

Dave is the only man in P. H. S. who can talk any woman out of year’s growth. The good point about this is that he can back almost every statement he makes. Yes. He is quite a debater!

Any one who wishes to learn to dance should see Bob. He is the best dancer for °31. Bob also bangs the ivory floor with par-excellence. Bob, if you ever get in a rut, open a studio and teach dancing and piano lessons. EDNA ROBERTS General C Nursing “She ts not simply good, but good for something.” If this Senior Class had a ‘‘Quiet Club,” we believe Edna would be the president. Even if we haven't heard from you, we're sure, Edna, that you deserve any credit given you. (Remember that a laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.) DOROTHY ROBINSON “Dot” “Dottie” Commercial Normal Schoo! “A mind content, a conscience clear.” Basketball 1, 2, 3; Hockey 3; Debating Society 1; Student Patrol 4; Gym Pageant. If anyone is looking for a real honest- to-goodness girl, they certainly won't have to go any further than Dorothy. We also understand Dottie is quite an athlete. ERNEST K. ROBINSON “Kim” “Ernie” General Business “One ear tt heard, at the other out it went.” Class Track Team 3; Class Football 3; College League Basketball 3, 4. Ernie’s policy is never to worry but to let life live itself. He has backed our class teams with his ability and proved himself to be an excellent athlete. If worry makes one old, Ernie is exceedingly young. [80] AMOS FRANCIS SIMMONS Commercial Business “Small service is time service.” Stand back, girls, Amos has no time for you or anything feminine, so you don’t even rate with him. Amos is quite a pool and billiard shark and also can play a fine game of basketball. These are only a few of the many things he can do. MARGARET MAE SIMONDS “Peg” “Marg” General Undecides “A penny for vour thoughts.” Debating Society 1; Hi-Tri 1, 2, 3; Tennis 1; Greek Fantasy 1; Field Day 4. Here's a girl who knows that a smile goes a long way. Can she cook? We'll ask the lucky man. LILA THOMPSON General C Muhlenberg Hosp. School of Nursing “With a smile that ts child-like.” Lila is not a native of our fair city and sO must be exceptionally adaptable and easily suited to strange climates, for she certainly is one of us now. BESSIE VELINSKY General N. Y. U. — Secretarial “Silence has many advantages.” Field Day 1; Gym Pageant 4. Bessie is a hard person to get acquainted with, but it is worth the trouble. Once you know her, she is very amusing and entertaining though all unknown to her- self, strange to say. [81] FREDERIC T. WARD “Fred” General Aviation “In my youth I never acted thus.’ Holy Trinity High School 1, 2; Christmas Decorat- ing Committee 3; Glee Club 4; Student Patrol 5; Musical Comedy 4; Orchestra Manager 4; Student Government Day 4; Usher Squad 3, 4. Fred is a new arrival in our class, and we aie glad to have him. He's worked hard this year managing the orchestra. Maybe he will be a leader someday, who can tell? HERMAN WEINREICH “Herm” General Undecided “Tl not take ‘no’ for an answer.” Band 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Electrical Squad 3, 4. Herman has worked hard and we admire the way he handles those drumsticks. No doubt he knows how to put away drum- sticks along with dressing, etc. Well, well. They do it in the best of families, so good luck to you, Herman! HELEN WRUBLESKI Commercial Music Course at Rutgers “Tell the truth and shame the devil.” Basketball Team 1, 2; Track Team 2; Orchestra 1, 2; 3, 4; Gym Pageant 4; Certificate in State Penmanship Contest. It takes industrious practice to learn to play a violin, but Helen certainly has suc- ceeded. She does not stop at being accom- plished with the violin, either. SADIE ZAGORIA Commercial Business “You see that I remain the same.” Field Day 4. A smile, then a laugh always brightens her path. Sadie never lets her companions become gloomy. We are sure that after she leaves us, she will continue to spread her cheer.

The team hit its stride, however, and came back strong with a string of victories, interrupted only by a defeat by East Orange and a tie with New Brunswick. “The New Brunswick game came as a distinct surprise as N.

We owe to them that delightful Christmas Play, ‘‘Sparks—An Inbetween,”’ presented by members of the society. [he play was unusual in its combination of appropriate Christmas theme and great humor. ‘The scene was laid in an Old Ladies’ Home with the maid, Sparks (Mildred O’Mahoney) as the heroine and Jim (Walter Romer), the furnaceman no less, as the prospective hero. The plot, equally unique, was the highly amusing but embarrassing question of how to answer poor Spark’s letter to Santa Claus asking for a man and a kiss, which incidentally sheds some light on Mr. Santa’s problem. The various kind-hearted but eccentric old ladies were very capably por- trayed by Ruth Whitford, Ethel Polsky, Alice Lloyd, Harriet Doane, Celia Phillips, Sarah Polsky, and Eleanor Irwin. The play was received by an enthusiastic audience, in recognition of the really good acting turned in by the various members of the cast under the direc- tion of Miss Le Fevre, to whom we owe the success of all of our past dramatic efforts. [ 120 ] Seniar Play LL OF US who are graduating have at one time or another experienced pe that elation which comes from a piece of work well done; and certain it is © that the members of the cast had due cause to be elated when the curtain was drawn on the last act of the Senior play. “The Return of Peter Grimm’’ was presented to a capacity audience, and members of the faculty and others who knew what they were talking about were unstinted in their praise. Miss Le Fevre again showed her remarkable talent for choosing the right person for the right part and for drilling mere seniors, who knew little or nothing about acting, into a cooperative group. The leading role, that of the lovable old Peter Grimm, was interpreted with sympathetic appreciation by Mortimer Rosenbaum. Catherine, his ward, torn between her desire to carry out the wishes of her dead benefactor and the longing of her own heart, was very convincingly played by Ruth Whitford. Randall Saflund, as the self-centered nephew Frederick, easily fooled his old uncle by his apparent compliance. Walter Romer as the earnest Dr. Mac- Pherson sustained his role very ably throughout. The Rev. Batholomey and wife, played respectively by Hugh Sweeney and Sara Polsky, evoked the laughter of the audience by their well-drawn characteri- zations. Col. Lawton, George Morgan, also contributed much to the humor in the second act. Arthur Hopper, Jr., a freshman in the school, was a happy choice as the appealing William, for in every respect was he fitted for the part. Jas. Hartman, the successful Senator, was well presented by Richard Mar- der. Audrey Rasmussen as Marta, and Anton Krog as the clown, were equally satisfactory. f 121] DICKMAR DERG eee Thornton Banks Harry Berkowitz A.

H. S. As we reminisce, we consider the mighty accomplishments in that eventful year for P. H. S., the arrival of the 31 class. Being innocent, we incurred the wrath of our many teachers, which resulted in our inopportune introduction to our most beloved Dean, Miss Moore. Then having been shown right from wrong we pursued our course through the first year under the able guidance of our President, Richard Beals, and our Vice-President, Ted O’Brien. At the annual Freshman Reception we were taken under the protecting wing of the m ighty upper-classmen. “Then we were faced by a great crisis—the Mid-Year Exams. Having safely passed through this ordeal we romped in the diamond and won the interclass baseball series. And then, like the proverbial quiet before the storm, we went through the last two months before the exams without any important events taking place. At last our exams arrived, and most of us sailed successfully through them into the harbor of the Sophomore Class. Thus endeth our first year at Plainfield High School. AGE OF FOOLISHNESS Then after we had gone through our first year enjoying the thrill of high school life, many of us decided to settle down and accomplish what we came for —learning. Our passive school days were over; we were now starting our active ones. We had advanced from the age of innocence into the age of foolishness. Then again came out annual elections and (Mirabile Dictu) Ted O’Brien was chosen as our President, and Ralph Kroll as our Vice-President. Under this able leadership we sailed through our Sophomore Year, all unconscious to the worries of the upper-classmen, the Seniors, little thinking that we were to be burdened with the same worries in two more years. Moreover, in order to keep up our record in sports we supplied two of our heroes to the Football Team of ““ 28’’—Gino DiDario and Walter Hienzer. “These boys brought honors to our class through their fine playing. Our Track Team also won the interclass track meet. At last our inevitable examinations approached and, strangely, we were struck with a fever for studying. Again most of us sailed successfully through them into the harbor of the Junior Class. Thus endeth our second year at Plainfield High School. AGE OF RECKONING Then came the hardest of the four years—the Junior year—the year that makes or breaks the majority of students. We had made one step forward from the age of foolishness to the age of reckoning. “To prove that we had set out to work we held our elections before the end of September. Again we chose Ted O’Brien for President, with Bill Streeton as Vice-President. “To be sure, we had [ 126 ] advanced in the standing of Sports as well as of Education. Our boys triumphed in the interclass Football Championship, being unbeaten and unscored upon. We also placed Gino DiDario, Bennett Monaghan, Ted Larew, Dan Van Mater, Albert Israelski, Al Fusco, Ed Traphagen and Cy Levin on the Varsity Foot- ball Team. Many of our boys made the Varsity Basketball, Baseball and Swimming Teams also. Our girls were very active in Hockey, Tennis, Basket- ball and their other sports. Then, giving the local talent a chance to shine, the Junior Class gave two fine plays, “Finders Keepers’ and ““The Unruly Mem- ber.”’ These plays were so successful that “‘Finders Keepers’’ was held over and given in the Senior Dramatic Tournament. Before we realized it the evening of the Cane Rush arrived, that fateful evening which decides, sometimes correctly and sometimes incorrectly, which is the better of the two classes. Well, to make a long story short, the Seniors finally won the Cane Rush after a hard battle, although we won the Boxing and the Rush for the Cane itself. “That spring our Track Team astounded the school again and won the interclass track meet. Then during the Spring we gave our Junior Prom and, to say the least, it was a crowning success and an excellent way to end up the social activities of the Junior Class. At last we were troubled with ’xaminitus, and after a short ill- ness many of us recovered to sail successfully into the harbor of the Senior Class. Thus endeth our third year at Plainfield High School. AGE OF WISDOM Behold, we now advanced to the heights of our Freshman dreams—the long-sought-for Senior year. Somehow we felt that we were burdened with more responsibility and, therefore, we had more self-confidence. True to our previous habits we again held our election around October. We re-elected Ted O’Brien, with Edgar Vardon as Vice-President. We had taken our final step forward from the Age of Reckoning to the Age of Wisdom. Our girls, inspired by their graduation to the Senior Class, immediately went out and won the interclass Tennis Tournament. “Then the boys, in turn inspired by the girls, again won the interclass Football Championship. Just before Christmas vaca- tion we roasted the Juniors; and how we roasted them will long be remembered by us, if not by them. After Christmas vacation we settled down to a grind so that we might pass the Mid-Year Exams with good marks—some of us did; others didn’t. Once again, as in olden days, we treated the school to an exeel- lent play, “The Return of Peter Grimm.’ This play packed the auditorium with students, parents and other admirers of the school. Finally, in an effort to gain admission to good colleges, we settled down to work about four months before graduation. The rest of our history you know: how we went through our examinations, and how we received our diplomas. At last we have arrived at the end of our long and tedious journey, and deep down in our hearts we will cherish that dear old school for which we have fought so valiently and so often.

M. The picture reaches, beyond all doubt, the highest peak ever attained in any similar production. The comedy roles are most ably taken by the delightful favorites Georgia Ga- lane and James Brandon. Several of the leading characters are to be present at the opening and may even appear on the stage. “I DO NOT CHOOSE TO RUN” SAYS GOVERNOR GLAESER Will Not Reveal Her Reason For Refusal New Jersey’s first woman governor today confirmed the rumor that she would not run for a third term, by a formal statement to a representative of this newspaper. “I have definitely made up my mind,”’ she said, “‘not to run for a third term as governor. Though my second term has been a very successful and happy one, I do not wish to run again.” Friends and former campaign mana- gers of Governor Glaeser are deeply disappointed in what they believe is the sacrifice of a wonderful career, but they hope that when she says “‘no,”’ being a woman, she will eventually mean ‘‘yes.”’ FAIR LAW-BREAKER RELEASED WITH REPRIMAND Miss Margery Loizeaux, of this city, was arraigned today before Judge Hugh Sweeny on charges of flying her plane too low over the city, exceeding the speed limit of 125 miles per hour, reckless piloting, and failing to stop at a ‘Stop’ sign. The defendant pleaded guilty and was released with a warning to do all of her stunt flying at a higher altitude. [ 128 ] EMINENT PHYSICIAN STAR- TLES SCIENTIFIC WORLD WITH DISCOVERY Plainfield High Graduate Famous Made Dr. Edwin O’Brien, noted physician and scientist, has notified all medical authorities that after many years of constant research and experiments he has at last discovered the cure for a well-known heart disease called “‘Amor Melbae.’’ Dr. O’Brien finds added joy in his discovery because for many years he has been one of the worst victims of this disease. He stated today in a re- port to the National Medical Society, of which the Honorable Ralph Kroll, M.D., is the president, and Walter Ro- mer the vice-president, that he first be- came interested in the subject while in high school, and only through persist- ent efforts and experiments was he able to find the cause and cure. OUR DAILY BEAUTY ARTICLE By GERTRUDE COLLING Plainfield’s Most Famous Beauty Many of the letters I have received lately ask for advice in making the eyes large and lovely. The best method I know for beautifying the eyes, and one which I myself have used for years, is to exercise the lids frequently. I am sure that all who use this method will have success, especially if the lid exer- cise is accompanied by a rolling of the eye. Another question many of my read- ers ask is, ‘“‘How can I get natural color in my cheeks?’’ Now, dear readers, the only solution to this problem can be found in my special combination of complexion-freshener and rouge. Just ask for it at any drug store or cosmetic counter, mentioning the name “‘Ger- trude Colling,’’ and the clerk will be glad to sell it to you for the trifling sum of $3.50. Tomorrow I shall discuss my own method of easy reducing—no dieting or exercising. For fuller details send for my free booklet, ‘‘Easy Methods of Reducing.” GERTRUDE COLLING. LATEST NEWS OF DANCE MAR- ATHON IN NEW YORK Dancers Are Still Going Strong Aside from great fatigue and weari- ness the few remaining contestants in the annual dance marathon, which at 8 o'clock this evening will enter its tenth night, are still going strong The four remaining couples are: Doro- thy Keenan and Robert MacDonald, Frances Bradley and William Streeton, Becky Dunn and Elwood Derr, and Helen Whitford and George Morgan. The dancers have a short and much- needed rest period at the end of every two hours. At this time they are also given a little nourishment. Popular opinion is that Dorothy Keenan and Robert MacDonald will be the winning couple. These two have long been considered as ranking among the foremost dancers on Broadway. Their fame began during high school days when, we understand, they were voted the best dancers in the senior class. PRINCE OF WALES FALLS AT LAST Rumored To Marry Well-Known American Girl At last the woman-hating Prince of Wales has fallen (not from a horse this time). The cause of his downfall is a pretty, dark-haired American girl, whose name is Miss Frances Bradley, and rumor has it that the Prince is completely enslaved by her charms. They met at a dance given on board the private yacht of Mr. George Romer, wealthy New York banker, while the Prince was visiting in America. Cupid must have shot his arrow immediately, for after having been introduced to Miss Bradley he hardly left her side all evening. Since then the charming debu- tante has been besieged by telephone calls, gifts of flowers and candy, and numerous letters. Although both His Highness and Miss Bradley have refused interviews with the press, and have made no public statements regarding their future plans, the belief is that their engagement will be announced in the near future. Senator Repp has just completed a trip to Florida. He says that he is now ready to get back to work. [ 129 J ow NEW SKYSCRAPER DISCUSSED Richard Beals, the most successful business man of New York, recently presided at a meeting to discuss the skyscraper now being erected.

Miss Loizeaux and Miss Briggs intend to get ideas in Paris for their fall stock of clothes. LATEST NEWS BULLETINS James Brandon, president of the National Bank, announced that the robbers missed the bulk of the money in their haste to escape.
