| Plaintiota High School 713366 Soretunrd (Gases is like a curtain descending on the last (5 act of our high school year. Soon it will rise again and we will find ourselves, all of us, actors in a new play. Whether it will be a tragedy, a comedy, a burlesque, or a variety of all, none of us know; nor can we foretell to whom will fall the parts of leading actors, or to whom Fate will decree the minor roles. But to our instructors we can only say that you have tried to teach us all to play our parts. You have given us our chance. And for this we say with all our sincerity, loyalty, and affection, “Goodbye and thank you.” GERTRUDE C. ROGERS, Editor-in-Chief. Che Runners The race is on; Apollo give them speed! And Mercury lend sandals for their feet To make them swifter, faster, more than fleet. O give them strength that tt may fill their need! The sparks fly back, as tf the torches bleed, And stud the night. The ground and sandals meet, And earth ts spanned as tf 1t flamed with heat. As true they fly as winged arrow freed; And still they strain. Can that fierce course be run By mortal man? Oh winds of heaven drive Them to their goal. All hail! The race ts won! To fight, to struggle on, to race, to strive, Although the race ts for a favored few, We go, but going, leave the torch with you. MATILDA SQUIRES. WE, the Senior Class of 1932, dedicate our annual to two whom we hold in greatest esteem. To MR HERBERT Vacs LINE AND MRS ENKI BANG A or ; 7 Ale gives us the greatest pleasure to do this as an expres- sion of our great thanks and appreciation of their helpful guidance and inspiring friendship. Four Five Ju Appreciation (onr It is with deep regret that we learn of the resignation of Miss Elizabeth Benedict, who has faithfully served as one of our faculty for many years. We are sure that Miss Benedict has deserved this WELL- EARNED retirement,and we hope that she may carry with her our profound gratitude for the services which she has so unselfishly rendered.

Oh, what foul play did New Mar- ket employ when it cast Fitz upon us raw from the Middlesex Wilder- ness, Ce) a SS Seventeen 1932 MILESTONE ROBERT ABBOND “Bob” Scientific College “Poetry—the most beautiful of expressions.” Oracle Board 4. “Bob” is joyous from morn to night. Despite his enjoyment of ease, he has filled with credit many class offices. NORMAN ABRAMS “Norm” Class:cal Brown University “Even in ordinary life the unselfish people are the happiest.” Junior Play 3, Class Football 2, Basketball Squad 4. “Norm” is a fashion plate, for he 1s an example of what the well dressed young man wears.

AUDREY AMMERMAN “Aud,” “Toots” Commercial Business “The devil hath the power to assi:me a pleasing shape!”’ There are some of us who really have the most friendly personalities. ““Toots”’ is in this group. One’s first impres- sion of her is that she is rather quiet, but that is only the first impression. Eighteen 1932 MILESTONE KATHLEEN ANDREASEN “Kay” Commercial Business “Labor itself ts a pleasure.” Basketball 1, Soccer 3, Thanksgiving Day Program 2. Upon leaving our ranks, ‘‘Kay”’ is go- ing out to fight the business world. But we won't worry about her as she has shown us she is entirely capable of car- ing for herself. DANIEL BAKER “Doc” General Undecided “He’s a student jolly and gay, It's not his fault, he was born that way.” Even after Christmas he wore no necktie.

LEONARD BOYLAN “Len” General New York University “A stitch in time its worth two in the bush.” Baseball Squad 3, Junior Roast 4, Student Patrol 4, Christmas Decoration Committee 4, Reception Committee 4.

MILDRED BROCKLEY “Milly” Commercial Business “Begone my cares, I give you to the winds.” Soccer 3, 4, Musical Comedy 3, Glee Club 4, Track 2. 3, Basketball 3, Baseball 3. This carefree youth is another musi- cal member of our class. Often we hear her warbling away in the glee club.

He comes from upper New York as everyone knows from his accent. ELLIS BULK General University of Alabama “My voice announces my presence.” Track Squad 1, Basketball Squad 1, Student Patrol 4.

Hiddo 1s just a little thing, in size, I mean, but she sure can talk, and talk, AND TALK. She’s quite the artist and she even writes her correspondence on Oracle paper. Can you beat it?

CARY “Bobby” General C Howard University “I gladly believe what I wish to.”’ Sweet and simple is ‘“‘Bobby.’’ She’s a good sport and liked by all. ANDREW CLEMENT “Andy” Classical Rutgers “Thou art a generous man—around thy stomach.” Caesar surely would be a good friend of Andy’s if he lived today. Caesar said he liked fat men and not men with ‘‘a lean and hungry look.”’ HELEN S. CHRISTENSEN General C New Brunswick College for Women “Still waters run deep.” Quiet but still the nicest ever! That is Helen. She’s true to her quotation. Here’s luck in the future, Helen. FREDA COCHRAN General C Was hington State Normal School “Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep, and the laugh’s on you.” Freda is of a quiet sort but when she talks you know there’s something to talk about.

Commercial Business “A match for many.” Student Patrol 2, 3, Christmas Decorating Committee 1, 2. Don’t get the impression from this fair, young maiden’s nickname that she is one bit conceited. Not in the least! She’s as nice and pleasant as can be. ALBION CZELUSCINSKI SAL? Classical Chemist “Prosperity is just around the corner.” Basketball Squad 2. Albion was an intelligent lad, but, alas, overwork did him no good. How- ever, we are sure that, being naturally so bright, he will again begin working and make good in the big, big world. Twenty-five 1932 MILESTONE MONROE DAVIS “Monny” Scientific Undecided “We all must part.” eBracke Jon 2p Glassabbaskethallmon Did you ever see ““Monny”’ alone? No, neither did we.

DORIS DeLONG “Dorrie” General New Jersey College for Women “As neat as neat can be.’ Field Day 2, Hi Tri 4. Dorrie is another one of our bright classmates. She is such a wee, small miss, we wonder how she ever stood the gaff of life in dear old P. H.S. Twenty-six 1932 MILESTONE FRED DILKES SY Oy gh Ae Scientific Undecided “Now my Lord Serentiono played at ball, and, Phoebus, how he played.” Class Baseball 2, Reserve Baseball 3, Varsity Baseball 4, Reserve Football 4, Varsity Foot- ball 3: Fred’s carefree nature helps everyone around him to be happy. You can’t be blue if you’re with him. RUTH DOERINGER Classical College “A modest blush, not formed by art.” Swimming 1, Archery 2, Chapel Usher 4. Ruth is our biggest blusher. Who would think it to look at that charming face? But just call attention to her or make her feel conspicuous and she'll turn the prettiest red ever. BETTY JANE DONLEY Classical College “To be, rather than to seem to be.” Field Day 2, Hi Tri 2, 3, Chapel Usher 4, Tennis 2. Betty, although somewhat inclined to blush, belongs to the honorable group of studious people. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all learn to enjoy studying as much as she does? JACK DONLEY Scientific College “As quiet as a brass band.” Reserve Basketball 2, 3. Jack’s a very newsy guy. He can talk on any and all things. No wonder it’s never cold in the school.

JAMES FLYNN “Jim” Scientific Corneil “Tt ts better to have bluffed and passed.” Student Patrol, Football Reserve 1, 2, Varsity 4, Track Squad 1, 2, Basketball Class Team 3.

JUSTINE FORRISTEL dusts Commercial Columbia University “Now her cheek was pale, and by and by tt flashed forth fire, as lightning from the sky.” Basketball 1, Track 2, Field Day 2, Hi Tri 1, 2, 3, Archery 4.

RUTH FOWLER “Rufus” Classical Wellesley College “Study is like the heaven's glorious star.” Debating 3, 4, Orchestra 3, 4, Latin Prizes, High Honor Roll Medal 3, Usher 4, Tennis 4, Archery 4, Senior Archery Team 4, Winner of Quoit Tournament 4, Glee Club 4, Accompanist of Musical Comedy 4, Year Book Board 4.

But beware of little men! WILLIAM HAUSDOERFFER “Bill” Scientific Undecided “For many a joke had he.’ Reserve Football 3, Varsity Football 4, 5, Class Basketball 4, Varsity Baseball 3, 4, 5.

Keith Highty Haskethall HEN the basketball season opened, a very successful season was expected. However, our hopes were all in vain, for last year’s poor season was repeated. When the team was playing in form, it was hard to beat. This is illustrated in the Morristown, Asbury Park, and Central games. Al- though the season wasn’t successful, there were many close games which were only lost by one, two, or three points. The only two large scores against us were rolled up by the strong New. Brunswick and Passaic teams. Of this year’s team there are only three members graduating, Lew Barbour, Douglas Thompson and Elden Townley; and to the rest we wish the best of luck for a successful season next year.

Plain- field lost the first game to Bound Brook by the slim margin of one touch- down. ‘his defeat was largely due to the inexperience of the line. After the opening defeat, however, the Big Red Team hit its stride, dropping only two of the seven remaining games. The season of 31 was very successful because we defeated our traditional rivals, North Plainfield, East Orange, and our ancient “‘jinx,’’ New Brunswick, all of whom gave way under the onslaught of the ‘‘Stinemen.”’ ‘The East Orange game proved to be the most exciting battle of the season; since the outcome was unknown until the blowing of the final whistle. Strategy played an important part in this victory, for a safety intentionally given to East Orange in the final minutes of play assured Plainfield of a six to two victory.

The sport is not to be omitted from the school sports in the future, however, and to develop material for the coming season, interclass games were held. Although the 1931 Varsity did not hit its stride until mid-season due to the fact that it had to play at Cedar Brook Park instead of the home field, it upheld the “‘never say die’’ spirit.

The few stars that are eligible to compete are Captain Edward Traphagan, Richard Walsh, Louis Fusco, Merritt Adams, Edward Ryan, Clarence Smith, Clifford Brown, and Joseph McDonough. As there is not any baseball, many athletes from this sport will report for track. “Therefore, with the baseball men, newcomers, and the letter- men, a successful season may be achieved by our “‘Dark-Horse’’ team.

Out of ten possible wins, the swimmers won seven. In the State Meet we took second place, East Orange taking first. Plainfield’s jinx was East Orange to whom we lost two meets. ‘There were several outstanding stars, the leader being Johnny Hartlein who was undefeated all season in the 200 yard free style and who won the state championship in this event from last year’s champ, Chalmers of East Orange. Dave Rugen and Captain Dan Van Mater were also stars throughout the season. Many members of this year’s excellent team will be back next year and Plainfield High can expect another successful season in swimming.

Adviser Ninety-four ee modernized version of Oliver Goldsmith’s “She Stoops to Conquer”’ prepared by the Drama Class was a new project in High School dramatics. For the modernization of an old play, it was presented excellently under the able guidance of Miss Ruth Le Fevre. Rather than detracting from the appeal of the old masterpiece, the new version added zest to the production. Ruth Leadbitter, taking the lead as Kate Hardcastle, was ably aided by Ellsworth Lewis, playing the role of the blushing hero, Charles Marlow. Ernest Fitz-Randolph humorously portrayed the part of jovial Mr. Hardcastle, mistaken for an innkeeper, while Isabel Welanetz realistically played the part of his wife, trying vainly to keep up with the fashions. Norman Abrams, as Tony Lumpkin, the family Black Sheep, added complication to the plot by mi.sdirecting travellers and stealing jewels. Others having prominent parts in the cast were Matilda Squires, Merritt Adams, George Hennig, James Flynn, Llewellyn Barbour, Thomas Neil, Dan Van Mater, and Miriam Fielding.

Reifsneider Janet Whitford 1932 MILESTONE Class shistory 1928 MALL, timid, and insignificant they termed us. Wee Willie Freshmen just S entering the august portals of P. H. S. We were the last class to be honored with a Freshman Reception and although we had no class officers to guide us, we turned out in great numbers for all occasions. Examination loomed, theatening to thin our ranks, but we managed to struggle through to the end. The shining lights in our group that year were Al Israelsky who rep- resented us in football, and Joe McDonough in track. And now goodbye to Freshman days, Freshman fun, and sweet Freshman simplicity, and alas, to a lot of freshmen. 1979 “Hi Fellers!”’ rings through the halls as Billy Sophomore swaggers past the incoming swarm of Freshmen with an impertinent air of having been through it himself and knowing it all. We elected our first class officers since our entrance into the school. “They were Jack Payne, President; John Allen, Vice-President; Betty Phillips, Secretary, and Jack Dorgan, Treasurer. The upper classmen began to realize that we had some fine Sophomore athletes or varsity teams when we contributed John Nevius, Johnny Hartlein, Jim Flynn, Anton Krog, Frank Ring, and Dan Van Mater to the swimming team, gave Anton Krog, Dan Van Mater, and Ernie Fitz Randolph to the baseball team, gave Jack Hudson to the tennis team, gave Joe McDonough to the Relay Team, and gave Ed Traphagen, Dan Van Mater, Jack Payne, and Al Israelsky to the football team. Need we say more? You can judge for yourselves what talented upperclassmen we would be. 1930 Bill Junior, an object of respect and admiration, displayed new found dignity as an upperclassman. We elected as officers Jack Dorgan, President: Betty Phillips, Vice-President; Douglas Thompson, Treasurer, and John Allen, Secretary. Again we had our share of athletes among which were Dan Van Mater, Jack Payne, Al Israelsky, and Jack Dorgan for football, for basketball Doug Thompson, and Elden Townley, for baseball Jack Dorgan, Gil Ball, Elden Townley, and Lew Barbour, for track Joe McDonough, for swimming Ed Traphagen, Dan Van Mater, Johnny Hartlein, and Frank Ring. We showed the school our dramatic ability when we presented three one- act plays which were deemed a huge success. The effects of the Junior Roast One Hundred Two 1932 MILESTONE soon wore off when we had revenge on the haughty Seniors by winning the Cane Rush. We left our Junior Year with the feeling that we had profited and that our work had been well done. 1931 William Senior, at last our full title was bestowed upon us. Our officers are Jack Dorgan, President; Ruth Leadbitter, Vice-President; Ernest Fitz Ran- dolph, Treasurer, and Betty Phillips, Secretary. We were well represented in football by such stars as, Captain Dan Van Mater, Jacx Payne, Bill Housedoerffer, Ed Traphagen, Jack Zimmermann, Al Israelsky, Fred Lounsbury, Lew Barbour, Jack Dorgan, El Lewis, and Ernie Fitz Randolph. Our tank representatives were Art Levin, Johnny Nevius, Jim Flynn, Frank Ring, Ed Traphagen, Jack Zimmermann and Captain Dan Van Mater. The basketball team had the services of Captain Elden Townley, Lew Barbour, and Doug Thompson. The Junior Roast will long be remembered by the Juniors with a frown and by us with achuckle. “The Cane Rush has been eliminated, and the unfortu- nate Juniors had no means of revenge on us for our sound though severe criti- cism of a few of them who had become too sophisticated for Juniors. Again we displayed dramatic talent when we presented as the Senior Play a modernized version of Goldsmith’s ‘‘She Stoops to Conquer.’’ Another bril- liant success for us. It has been an interesting history for those who have lived it, however, it has been told. We see in the future greater years for 32 than ever before. We say to those behind us to seek the joy and activity that we have found, to those ahead we tell of our approach to join them, to ourselves, “‘Let us ever be loyal to our class, all of it, and hold dear its memories in the dim and distant years before us.”’ Gas One Hundred Three 1932 MiIPESTONE Wrophecies 4 N the summer of 1943 while Ye Merry Olde Editor was a guest at a week- J end party given by Antony and Cleopatra at their little summer home on 51614 Nile Avenue, Alexandria, Egypt, she became very tired of the usual festivities and goings on. Old Tony was so untidy; he threw cigar butts all over the palace floors, he never wore garters, he left his togas hanging on the backs of the royal golden chairs, and, worst of all, his choice of neckties was atrocious. And Cleo was possessed of a most violent temper. She nagged, she scolded, she threw dishes, and she made life miserable for all around her. The climax came one evening at dinner, when, during the usual squabble, Cleo picked up her club sandwich and hurled it at poor Tony’s unfortunate head just missing the electric toaster. In disgust, Ye Ed took a deep sigh, took her baggage, and took her departure, but forgot to take her time. She headed in the general direction of the Alexandria Grand Central Station. On the way she bumped into her old friend Sphinx and sat down to talk to her. The beauty of sand and starlit sky made Ye Ed drowsy, so she curled up in Sphinx’s left ear, and time ceased to be. Suddenly she heard a voice which sounded like a cross between a fire siren and a dying saxophone. Looking up, she discovered the Sphinx doing what she had never done, and what our Ancient History teachers told us she never would do. She was talking; more, she was talking about some of Ye Ed’s P. H. S. friends. Listen! “Jack Dorgan is President of the United States now, and has been for two years. Prosperity came back in a hurry when they put him in office. He works pretty hard and only has a few diversions, such as talking to his ‘‘Pet Parrott.”’ Great guy, Jackie. Golly, Janet Henwood’s off again! She's been for “‘slay’’ rides up at Dartmouth and had ‘‘killing’’ times. That was the winter she went Christmas “Carling. She came home sooner than we expected, and her only explanation was that she had given some of her “‘Lip’’ to Yale. Now she feels re‘‘Morse’’ ful and sits around eating ‘‘Whitman’s’’ chocolates. I wonder who'll pay the big “Bill” for them, Dan Van Mater’s meeting Johnny Weissmuller next week in a big swim- ming meet. He’s ‘‘Gert’’ing along better than ever; he’s “‘Ritter’’ a letter every day this month. Marion Baker’s the girl that has the good job, though. She and her One Hundred Four 1932. MILESTONE husband have a comedy act on the vaudeville stage and they're making a huge success of it. What a cut up that kid 1s. Guess who's the king of moviedom this year in Hollywood. Yes, it’s Ed Traphagen. He’s in California now filming “Oh My!” and in his next one, “Too Many Women,” his leading lady will be Harriet Suydam, that new little find with the big eyes and what have you. They tried her in comedies first to see whether or not she had “‘Dewitt’’ for funny parts. She did. Ruth Leadbitter is on the musical comedy stage now. I always thought that girl would go a long way with that voice. Yes, she’s ‘‘Bob’’ing along on the sea of life quite merrily. They say she'll retire next year to middle-aisle it with him? Alden Whitman’s playing professional bridge. He started on this down- ward path by teaching contract to a squad of Italian workmen. Between bridge lessons, he’s pinch hitting for Ted Shawn in the modernistic dance called, ‘The Heavenly Martine Step.’’ Eureka! By the way, I just read Matilda Squires’s new short story called “‘On Platonic Friendships.’’ She's quite the novelist. I remember her during the year when she edited the Oracle, and she always had a tang to her writing. She's writing another now called ‘“‘Frankness and What It Did For Me.”’ Jack Payne has a position as social secretary to President Dorgan. When the President is otherwise occupied, Jack takes his place. No one ever sees him “Lord”’ing it over anyone, in spite of his high rank. Whenever I think of fittle Janet Whitford, I have to giggle. She's never without an infectious grin. She has a position now laughing at bad movies to draw a big crowd. She sees them “‘Allden”’ ‘‘Walsh’’es her hands of the film racket. She's a rather disturbing influence in some classes too. She’s always laughing at “Jim.” Lew Barbour has been retained after his graduation from West Point as physical director there. I tell you, he’s a big man. But he has his weakness (sh-h-h, it’s a blondie). When are you ‘‘Gwen”’ to get married Lew? Gert Rogers has a jazz band all her own. She plays somewhere in New York City. She hasn’t much time for ‘‘Dan’’cing although she’s always been crazy about it. Next year she'll be in the new musical comedy on Broadway “Bearing Up.”’ She plays piano solos between acts. “Well, well, well!’’ said Ye Ed to herself. “You never can tell.’ One Hundred Five 1932 MILES TONE Hast Will and Cestament GIG of the storm-tossed Senior Class, O Muse, which wandered long after Gy it helped transfer the city gridiron crown from the lowly camp of the North Plainfielders.

One Hundred Six 1932 MILESTONE Om IE GLASS OP-N935: Unus. The privilege of sitting downstairs in chapel—although you won't see half as much, you won't miss a thing. Duo.
