Class Poem EXCALIBUR There is no armor glistening in the sun That's half so strong as knowledge fairly won On this brief battlefield of life; no sword That thrusts so deeply as the unchecked word Of truth where once before had been dark lies. There is no vision flaming in the skies That burns so brightly as the brave, doomed dream Of better things to come, the sudden gleam Of an ideal. There is no blazoned shield Like strong distrust determined not to yield To promise-shouting tyrants with their cry Of hate and blood, their banners floating by In stirring pageant. And there is no doom Quite like the dull unprofitable gloom Of life without unceasing wish to know; Prom understanding, fear can never grow. So girt with this strong armor you have gained Within these short years, set forth armed and trained To face this life of battles till they cease; The fight well-won, then come success and peace.

(After Best) sawe a newe ande trembling pilgrimage of fledglinge-knights cautiously entering ye Educational Edifice of “Ye Pil- lorie of Higher Schooling” (P.H.S.) seeking the Golden Grail of Goodly Gnowl- edge. Ande, juste as if in omen of the future, the little knightes-in-traininge, as the poore thinges stumbled over the seniores’ shoelaces in futile ande pathetic attempts to finde ye longe-loste elevatore or ye roome No. 67 g, founde in ye halles of saide “Pillorie of Higher Schooling” a newe mastere of ye Castle, one Sir Galen, who broughte withe him many newe reformes to trie out on ye unsuspecting knighte-errantes. Alas! frome the very firste, it seemed that the poore incominge knightes would enjoye a miserable life in saide, aforesaide, ‘'Pillorie, etc.’ Fore, thoughe younge and inexperienced, they founde awaitinge them the dan- geres, the dire, dilectorie dangeres of a certaine “One-waye System,” bye whiche aforesaide systeme the knightes were cruellie forced to followe defi- nite and chartered routes throughe ye Perilous Passages of ‘Ye olde Citadele for ye Constructive Cultivatione of ye Craniume.”’ Many were the unfortunate memberes of Ye Classe of ‘38 ('39, ‘40, ‘41, ‘42, etc.) who felle by the wayside thate awfule yeare in vaine attempts to establishe the theorie that, “Ye quickeste distance atweene two saide pointes is ye straighte ligne.” Ande oh! the horrore of thate unseene hande, arrest- inge the course of some misguided knighte in the terrible and ghastlie acte of goinge “Upe” a “Downe” staircase. Yete in ye yeare 1938, there are stille those, after foure gruesome yeares, who persiste in doinge the unthinkeable. Alas and Alackel! But thate was not the ende of the horrible delusiones of the younge knightes. Fore, alongside the greatere castle a newe and lessere castle was to be builte bye a said WPA (Workman's Protective Associatione). Alas, those long e yeares, passinge quicklie bye, eache beginning with, ‘Yea, and verily, it will surely be completed in Februarie.’’ Comes Februarie. ‘Did we say Februarie?’’ Yeares come and goe like shadows—and stille no buildinge. Even Saso doubts he wille see the edifice finished. But finallie, as rumore has it, Miss Moore, ye deane, wente oute ande gave saide workers a goode talke, after which, it is said, the whole building was completed in an houre. Yea and verily. In thate memorable yeare, the officers to guide ye youngest classe were, to wit, David “Galahad” Karner (pure and blameless), Jane ‘Guinevere’ Brower (tall and stately), Margaret “Elaine” Lynas (fair and lovable), and Richard ‘“Dagonet” Roller (fat and funny). [60] Ye sophomore year started with “Ye Bang’’—and gads, what a bang. This bang was so bangy that blended with ye general bangs around ye olde “'Pillorie,”” a disturbance of gigantic proportions was produced. Yea and verily, a bedlam was perpetrated. Up jumped ye mentors and fled to the woods (to think). They emerged in due time with an idea, ye inspiration of Lady Lovell. Quoth Sir Galen in assemblie: ‘‘Methinks,” quoth he, “that we must crash down on this bang.” “Yea, yea,” joined the other mentors, ‘crash down on the bang.” An ominous silence accompanied ye knightes to their classes, ande smalle white tags were fluttering timidlie from their armour (as in ham). The C.C.C. (Contra-Commotion Campaign) was on. Vive la France! Two days passed—a wee bang was hearde, horrors! A week passed—several wee bangs and one big bang (Russ) were heard. Ye gods and little fishes. A month found ye sacred walls resoundinge with a most fearfule din and—if ye have tears, shed them now—the Anti-noise Campaign was dead and for- gotten. But were ye mentors downe? Never. Arounde ye corner emerged saide mentors with an idea of greate merit. No more mid-semester scrutinies and agon ies. Half-year exams were extinguished. Those mid-winter groanings, crammings, shiverings, and shakings were a thinge of the paste (not glue). “Huzza, huzza,’’ yowled ye knightes. “Galahad” Karner guided ye modele classe through another yeare aided by “Elaine” Lynas, Sir Carl Smith, and Florence Pluemer. Ande now saide thirde yeare drifted on ye knights. And what should they find awaiting them after two longe yeares but—alas, alacke, and woe (Whoa, babe, what can the matter be). For it was proclaimed in the court that close upon Candlemas shoulde ye deservinge younge maidenes ande handsome squires be taken to taske for their respective wanderings, and hoaxed righte wonderfullie by the sages (seniores). Alas-—ye roast. We shalle not divulge again ye sad truths that were tolde that awful day. Luckilie, a vacation separ- ated the fateful day ande ye return to school—else many would have been the blushes of the “roasted” knights—and their nights. In this same yeare, ye gallante classe founde itself in the throes of an agonie called ‘Ye Pot Boiler’’ with our Suddy Mr. Sud one Richard T. Davies, ande with said Davies a fewe lovelie leades as one C. Dewey and a P. David- son. Add to this one Geo. Crutendon, a Melvin Rubel—beat till a soggy mess. Mix well, shake in one “Jean’’ Bennett and a Bronston, add one P.H.S. auditorium, and you have it (if you want it)—ye Juniore Play, which had ye goode audience grovelinge in ye very aisles. On ye same programme were “Iggie’’ Runyon and Evelyn Stauffer in a tear-jerkinge tragedie— Ye Valiant.” This was also ye yeare for ye starte of many ande eager pilgrimages to yon suburb of Plainfield—New York, to see one Benj. Goodman and classical chorus in a number of concertes. Oh, ye studentes who deserted many an olde homesteade for Benjie and the boys. Alas, woe, alacke. Ande ye sad tale of ye officers againe repeated, to wit: Sir Rock, M'Lady Davis, M’Lady Pluemer, and M’Lady Davidson in ye foregoinge order. Enoughe. Time drags on. [61] Ande now the greate dawninge, the greateste yeare of them all, our beloved seniore yeare. Alas, it opened with a veritable vengeance, for even as we prepared us for our revenge in ye cominge roaste, suddenly we hearde the awful word that there would be no roaste. Gads, grammercie, ande a few others which have been censored. No roaste. What nonsense is this? Downe with everythinge—downe with everythinge that’s up. Oh, howe the yeare will seem so droll and droopie withoute our sweete revenge. But as if in answer to oure pleas, heavene sent us a certain concoctione designed to make any groupe of people forget any troubles whosomehowver. What is this thinge that strucke the sacred halles of our formerlie reserved knightes and ladies—what dastardlie thinge coulde make them wiggle into variouse shapes and weird fashiones? Why, boys, “Ye Bige Apple.” Yea and very verily. Yea, yea, ande much stuffe. Yea, yea, ande swinge on downe—yea man!! And so we shall marke our seniore yeare to ye hot beate of the “Oversized Rosaceae” (apple to youse guys). There is also ye matter of ye Seniore Productione. But for this yeare’s productione there was nothinge the matter—our brilliante, charminge, beau- tifule, super-super Stautfer knocked ‘em over, while the goode Davies finished them off withe a will. “Irish” Freeman deserted the cause of ye Irish ande became a blasted Limey with no ill effects, while friend Rubel aged no ende when his haire appeared to deserte the homeneste comparatively earlie. Ye others in ye caste were, in ye vernacular, ‘Ye Nuts,’ ande our Seniore Play wente over with a “Bange” (what?! again!?). Ande so the goode knightes have wandered gailie throughe their be- loved yeares. Perhaps there were times, goode friendes, when thinges did seeme a bit darke—especiallie about five o’clock in the cafeteria—but we can stille smile as we take our very, very reluctante leave of ye home casile, and like goode little knightes attacke ye dangeres of the greate worlde out- side with the same fearlessness ande determinatione with which we attacked in our schoole daze.

Des- pite scragglie lockes and teethe conspicuous bye theire absence, we recognize easilie that olde wizard ande prestidigitatore, John ‘“Lightninge”’ Brower. “Will someone please reach in my pocket and grab my crystal ball?” quothe John as we shake him, to keep the poor fellow awake. John seems to have gotten his mystical training by getting in and out of trouble at school faster than you can say, ‘Run to Rubel’s Rapidly for Ritzy Rousing Rompers.” Anyhow we have roused him to an inspiration—or is that look in his eye just one of the old boy’s passing glances? Well here it comes. John has consented to locate some members of ‘38 in his little crystal ball, and some figures are beginning to appear in the middle of the magic sphere. The first ‘figure’ to show up is Fluff’s. Wow! I mean wow for the pretty little bungalow. Oh, it’s not a bungalow; it’s Nelse’s gas station. Well that's a nice quiet place to live in, and Nelse has a chance to pitch for the Southwest Kalamazzo Jaguars in the Gasman's League—Group O! 4. And say, Johnny, who's that just pulled up in that triple-streamlined Dusenford. Hank and Nat! !? Are they still honeymooning for three and a half years? Oh, Hank is still running from a gang of Texaho farmers that he gave cyanide to for their cattle so as to lessen the death rate from the snow. Well, none of the cattle died in the snow they say. Say, looks like Karner’s in trouble again (as usual). There's fire-chief Russ (he blows them out) warning Karner either to stop playing the drums so hot, or to keep quiet. Dave may love the drums, but if he has to keep quiet for them—no sir. As Russ and Karner start talking it over, we notice the crystal ball smoking. “Lightning” casts a spell—and we're off (and how). Sa-ay this is lucky. We can now get the verdict of that sensational trial of Len Duncan, alleged slayer of eight women, six cops, three tailors, five res- taurant-owners, and an unidentified radio comedian. But with his own inim- itable, heart-rending gestures and funny faces, that great hearted lawyer Davies not only has gotten the bloody killer freed, but has had him presented with a medal and reward (for the radio comedian). Good old Davies. They say he still sits up till three o'clock Tuesday nights to think up longer words for Student Council meetings. We drift along on our magical wings and trip daintily onto—well, of all things, a coal barge. And standing grimly at the wheel, plowing up the Mon- ongahela River with his precious, though a little dirty, cargo is Skipper Cole- [66] stock, hardy seaman that he is. And his first mate—why that’s our old Sea Scout Lassen. Every once in a while, the Skipper toots his whistle to that lovely brunette over yonder—''Tugboat’’ Dewey. Goodness, what's that noise? A collision. Oh, Connie just yelled back. Good old Connie. That cheer leading surely helped her out in future life. Well, this is really swell, this magic power. Why here we are right inside that double-deluxe Sparkplug City Theatre. Well, where’s owner Farino? Oh, he’s outside coaxing customers in. We might as well see what they have here. Ah—jugglers. We can appreciate them after having juggled so long with the truth in Miss Moore’s office. Oh, you say it’s only Gundlach and Comins, juggling with figures. It's said that people are demanding a new set of figures because this pair has worn out the old set. And what's the feature? That super-dynamic Rosenstein production “Love Is Like a Rusty Carburetor” starring the perfect lovers Grace Lakin and Jacob Jacobson in a stirring tale of the Congo jungle. Well, ah, er, it's like this. We're in a hurry you see, and we hate to miss it and all that—but real- ly we must goalong....... Merlin” Brower dozes off a while but jumps up quickly as someone says ‘Hello.’ (He thought they said mellow). And we drift along once more. Hey, what the heck’s this place? Nothing but gusts of wind—and what a racket. Must be McPherson dashing from piano to typewriter to radio to tele- phone to typewriter to piano to radio, etc., etc. He stops a second, yells ‘“'Lo,”’ and back again. Who's that guy who just asked what orchestra that is on the radio? Strike him dead. No, it isn't Wayne King. Right, it's Goodman him- self. As we leave, Goodman strikes up “Loch Lomond,” and we hear a heaving sound like a crashing airplane—that’s Ace. The League of Die-hard Gals, headed by President Stauffer “Hatchet Evie”, herself, has come into open warfare with the saloon magnate, William G. Lamb, and a committee of Baldwin, Anderson, and Hornby recently came threateningly close to bloody work in his Woodland Avenue Purple Steeple Joint. Police chief Freeman, who attempted to quell the disturbance, is resting quietly in dangerous condition after reprimanding the vociferous President Stauffer. Again we drift—and this time right back to the sacred halls of our be- loved school. Of course it's all changed now. WPA projects have come and gone like wildfire (?) due to the sterling efforts of those mighty WPA men Caddie McClelland, Dick Johnson, and Sal Dellaperute, who paste together buildings in the twinkling of an eye. Of course foreman Dzuryak, who sup- plies the steam heat for the jobs, must get his share of the credit. And yet, how little changed is the inside of the school. Old faces pop up here and there to bring back many a memory. There is one conspicuous ab- sence however, that of Mr. Boyer, who had to resign because of advanced [67] old age, brought on undoubtedly by his harrowing struggles with a certain period 3, classical math class, which nearly squared his blood pressure. We also notice as we go through the familar halls, a statue of the school’s patron, that famous talcum powder tycoon—Jackson Goolsby, in a typical pose with an elastic band in his hands. A member of the famous corporation of Gools- by, McDonough, Goolsby, Charles, and Goolsby, he is reputedly rolling in the billions as he lolls at Palm Beach with a gorgeous blonde. McDonough has been devoting most of his time to the writing of ‘Funny Puns and Stuff,” be- lieved by many to be the world’s slowest selling book, while Monroe Charles, the guy with the grand sense of humor, has been trying vainly to think up a name for his fourteenth child to rhyme with Lunk, Glunk, Punk, Dunk, etc. Taking one final, tear-filled look at the grand old place we notice, away up on the twelfth floor of the school, the two newest additions to the faculty— that eminent professor of Appreciation of Mother Goose and Mickey Mouse” Dick Hight. Mrs. Hight (her face does look familiar) has her math classes—a subject in which it is understood she was very proficient in her school days— but she is having a good bit of trouble with Mike Sasso, who returned to school after graduation because he had become so attached to it. The difficulty and the strain of keeping himself awake has finally told on our mystical friend Lightning Brower. As he starts nodding off, we can still hear him mutter to himself, ‘O Mathilda Ann!’’ —and we slowly tiptoe out. [68] SANTUCC!

The big red team opened the ‘37 season right by winning the City Cham- pionship from North Plainfield High School, 6 to 0, but it went down to defeat to Columbia and West Orange, two new strong teams on its schedule. The team took its rightful place by defeating Orange, also appearing on our schedule for the first time. Morristown, East Orange, and Montclair defeated the team, but it closed the season with a tie with our oldest rival, Westfield. Senior Lettermen—Deliaperute, Dickson, Weikel, Huff, Twine, Pelligrino, Corcoran, and Petrella. [82] Basketball Playing one of the hardest schedules in the state, the Cardinals won only nine out of twenty-one games. Although the season was not a success, the team did show itself to be a scrappy combination, which, when clicking to- gether, was almost irresistible. The Brann Men won the city series in two straight from North Plainfield High School, but were eliminated from the Union County Tournament by Regional in the first round. The team’s only consola- tion is that out of the varsity squad of ten , only one will graduate. Senior Letterman—Robinson. [83] Baseball This season, his second, Coach Jack Liddy will try to repeat his record of fifteen won and five lost last year. With six veterans to build his team around, Danyo, Madjeski, Swetley, Bassoff, Johansen, and Nelson, he hopes to repeat his most important conquests of last year over Hillside, Rutgers Freshman, New Brunswick, win the city championship from N. P. H. S. again, and beat Carteret, a strong new team on our schedule. The Cardinals will enter again the Greater Newark Tournament, in which they were eliminated in the first round by Franklin last season. Seniors—Swetley, Johansen, Nelson. [84] Swiunming The Plainfield High natators completed a fairly successful season win- ning six out of ten dual meets. But the big Plainfield triumph of the season was its first state champion in many years, Dick Loizeaux, our 100 and 40 yard free styler, who not only went through his entire season in those two events undefeated, but went on to win both Union County and state championships in the 100 yard event. The Cards took third place in the Union County Meet. Seniors—Robins, Stryker. [85] Track The track team will begin this season as its first under coach Ev Pearcy, and, though it wil l be hard hit by the loss of state mile champ, Dave Morrison, it is expected to go places with quite a number of experienced seniors and juniors. Last year’s squad under the capable direction of coaches Smith, Brann, and Potts, was partly successful in winning three dual meets, tying one, and losing two. This year will bring six teams to our dual meet schedule, with Bloomfield as a new addition. [86] Tennis Even with Bill Willis and Ray Tice, both responsible for the brilliant sea- son turned in by our tennis squad last year, gone, the returning fellows, Bishop, DiLibro, Wormley, Proctor, and Bogas, seem capable of continuing the fine rec- ords piled up by past Cardinal tennis teams. With sixteen of the best teams in the state scheduled for the season, Coach Sette hopes to carry on his pre- V1OUS SUCCESSES. Seniors—Bogas, Davis, Wormley. [87] Rifle The Rifle team, under the supervision of Coach R. S. Patch, continues to be the most successful Cardinal sport. Led by Captain Dick Johnson, the team won all fifteen scheduled matches, two postal matches, and the Union County championship. It defeated Linden, Pingry, Summit, Hillside, Caldwell, Thomas Jefferson, Newark Academy twice apiece, Roselle once. In postal matches, Stony Brook, L. 1, and Youngstown, Pa., fell before the Cardinal sharpshooters. Seniors—Beebe, Brower, James, Captain Johnson. [88] Hockey Coach Jack Liddy’s hockey team had quite a successful season as they won five games, while losing three and tying one. In building up for the future, Coach Liddy used for the most part his freshmen and sophomores. The Big Red Team chalked up their wins over Cranford, Bernardsville, Rahway, Carteret, and Blair, tied Cranford in their second game with that team, and lost to Peddie and Princeton Day School. Seniors—Colestock, Fischetti, Gundlach, Harthan, Kilburn. [89 } Socceyv Under the truly inspirational leadership of the well-liked coach, W. C. Cook, a small, inexperienced bunch of fellows were molded into a hard-fight- ing squad capable of giving most teams a good game. This fact is indicated by the scores themselves which at the beginning of the season were over- whelmingly against Plainfield but which were very greatly cut down when we met the same teams again. Seniors—Bronston, Cardie, Gibbon, McDonough, Woodland, Huby, Ciampa.

During the foot- ball and basketball season they attended all the games and by their “‘pep, vim, and vigor’ prompted the school to show the same spirit. fol} Basketball Rebecca McGinley—President Marion Kauffman—Captain Lillian Argiro Eleanor Brych Doris Brown Marietta Calhoun Ruth Carter Catherine Groves Marion Kauffman Rebecca McGinley Frances Mitera Ida Otani Margaret Rogers Helen Smith Basketball always brings forth many of our ambitious seniors, and this year was no exception. Whenever there was any time during the day, prac- tice was in full swing. Then with the basketball club too, the teams were really quite quick when it came to the final tournaments. Hockey June Nichols—President Frances Mitera—Captain Frances Jones Frances Mitera Anita Kaplan Aline Moore Marion Kauffman Audrey Morrison June Nichols May the next year’s seniors take a hint from this team and go prospecting for candidates on the first of September if necessary. Although outnumbered in every game, these seven came through on top every time, much to the sur- prise of everyone. Our best wishes to the class of ‘39, but look out for the juniors.

Now the trouble is getting enough space and enough targets to accommodate all who come out for it. [94] Tennis Florence Nash—Captain Theresa Keehn Virginia Riefsneider Florence Nash Betty Strouss Phyllis Willis We are sure the underclassmen will not miss this team at all and will perhaps feel relieved. This year brought many of the old members, and with every year bringing new improvements we don't blame the youngsters a bit. Good luck, and may you too turn out some true champions.

[96] Swimming Mary Cornell Frances Miller Constance Dewey June Nichols Barbara Ellingswood Mary O'Driscoll Marion Kauffman Helen Seeney The main event of the girls’ swimming season is the interclass meet for which they practice steadily for some six weeks, twice a week. This is really a much looked-forward-to event as far as all the girls are concerned, and the competition is quite fierce among our ambitious swimmers. [97] utogy = ait ype (a k � gen Be et ee .

E. Johnstone IN, Jel, Ohne [1024 Senior Play by A. E. W. Mason This year’s senior play, “Green Stockings,” was adjudged by many as one of the best ever produced in Plainfield High. If such be the case, the credit should really go to the efficient directorship of Miss Le Fevre, and the superb blend of acting produced by our leads, Dick Davies and Evie Stauffer—the lat- ter especially doing a wonderfully fine job. The whole cast functioned to- gether perfectly to put the play across in a fashion that pleased its audience immensely. Cast: Wise?

I. To the old juniors who are to become seniors (perchance) we leave: 1. As usual our seats in chapel. (This saying is ready for its old age pension. ) 2. Our headaches when your time comes to edit a yearbook, especially when one of these things is due. 3. Another pair like Evie Stauffer and Dick Davies to star in your senior play if you can find them. (They're one in a million.) New trails to blaze and new precedents to set. Hope for the tennis championship now that Phyllis Willis is gone. Miss Bond. A senior president as good looking as ours. Graduation problems. SO ee ES a Ca Those achievement tests. (They always come when you have to study.) 10. The honor of being the second senior class unable to roast the juniors. 11. A lot of our favorite classmates who just can't bear to leave P.H.S. 12. A few P.G.’s to remind you of the ‘‘good old days.” II. To the future juniors: 1. The pleasure of wearing your class ring for at least one blessed day before giving it to your respective heart beats. 2. Security of your dignity with the knowledge that you have no Junior Roast to contend with. (Too bad for you who awaited it.) 3. The privilege to attend regular assemblies. (That's a step up.) III. To the future sophomores: 1. Hopes for a bid to a leader's dance from your galant heart (pit-pat) throb. 2. Privileges left over by the newly established juniors. IV. To the future freshmen: 1. Good luck; you'll need it. (Seniors think you always get it.) F105] V. To the faculty: VI. NAW 1. To Dr. Jones—The memories of the first class to be under your juris- diction for four years, and another class half as good as ours to be used as human guinea specimens. (Aren't we good looking re- sults.) 2. To Mrs. Persinger—A new pair of gym shoes. Gracious lady, may these give their entire soul to your service as your present ones have done. 3. To Mr. Boyer—A classical math class with scientific minds. 4. To Mr. Banta—Something besides a yearbook staff who are willing to work, but we can't think of anything, so we'll leave it at that. 29. To Miss Bond—A new room on the other side of the building, for the windows of her present one are becoming obstructed by the bones of past freshmen who had the honor of being thrown out of the win- dow of Room 362. 6. To Miss Miller—A library of quiet students who come to the library solely to read ? ? ? 7. To Miss Johnstone—A circulation staff that arrives at 8:00. 8. To Miss Moore—A Student Council president not quite so determined on parliamentary procedure. 9. To Mr. Trask—Another stooge like Wilbur Lakin. 10. To all teachers—More faculty delights such as Dick Davies, Dave Karner, Bill Lamb, Shirley Matthews, Minnie Flanders, and Sylvia Nielson. To the Entrée: 1. More publication time, as this will ease the wear and tear on Miss Johnstone's patience. 2. Channing Hadlock to contend with. To the students: 1. To Jean Goodwin—Those numerous pounds which mysteriously dis- appeared from Josh. Evans. To Bee Morrison—The task of “carrying on” for Dave and Audrey. To Gresham Sykes, Bob Wood, Reid Teschner, etc.—Some more at- tractive ‘cradle robbers.” a To Marcia Friedman—Some of Bob Lounsbury’s height. 4 5. To Billy Shewman—Some more Ta-Loyd interests to keep her busy. 6. To Ira Richard—More work to squirm out of. i. To Dot Pasmore—tThe task of finishing up things left undone by the class of ‘38. ES To Mary “Trouble” Frances Dawley—The hope of someday becoming French.” 9. Someone like Michael Angelo to worry the photographer. 10. To all the students—More school spirit. [106] VOL Vor? shoo. 1. Another ‘‘Ace McPherson” to keep you Benny Goodman conscious (as if you could forget). A class of freshmen that you can see. 3. Patience with the sophomores who have suddenly become very so- phisticated. A clean park. Something (if anything is possible) to replace Dotty Carty, Jim, and the Station Wagon—It’'s a big order. Now that we are still in sound mind (except for Jack Bronston, the editor) after writing this missive, we must hereby set our seal in witness whereof for more reasons than one, some being that we are now getting sleepy and the editor is getting still more insistent about getting this to press on time.

The purpose of the Parent Teacher Association is to secure for every boy and girl the conditions which will make possible his best physical, mental, social and spiritual development. The program of the High School Association is concerned specifi- cally with problems of training environment and human relationships of boys and girls. In establishing our scholarship fund, in sponsoring a cafeteria, in planning “Back to School” night for parents, in cooperating with our Dean to help the underprivileged, in sponsoring a band uniform fund, in sponsoring social activities, we the Plainfield High School Parent Teacher Association want you to feel that we stand ready to do our part to meet your needs. May each boy and girl feel free to come to us and ask our co- operation in any way we can serve in uplifting your ideals. MRS.
