m. Rapes? Briefly We pause On the threshold, ; And glancing back, Catch in our hearts A_ picture And try to trace it Over four years Of friendship And work And fun... Be Milestone By the Senior Class Plainfield Photo by Richard Merrill Jersey , Neu ld fe WL PUBLIC LIBRARY, PLAINFIELD, N} Ll, Plai S choo High (young pooh °° moy pup Dr. Galen Jones after the applause the audience grows quiet. “We have E RAISES HIS HAND enjoyed the program this morning. We are grateful to...” his voice is firm, commendatory .. . “Good morning. What can I do for you? Won’t you sit down—” he smiles _.. One senses the strength, dignity, and human understanding . . . He is calm, in command of every situation. And he is “ours”—friend, guide, and confidant. A poised figure, a smooth, co-ordinated swing—and a golf ball speeds down the fairway... Dr. Galen Jones, our principal, leaves Plainfield High School this year to head the East Orange, New Jersey, High School. To him the class of ’42 says from the depths of its heart—“Thank you, thank you very much for these four years we have been with you.” After graduating in 1918 from McPherson College, Kansas, Dr. Jones at- tended Teachers College, Columbia University, where he received his Master’s degree in 1921. He spent an early career teaching in western schools and was subsequently director of eight junior high schools in San Antonio, Texas; and principal at the high schools of Port Arthur, Texas, and Reading, Pennsylvania. He took a leave of absence in 1933 to study at Columbia for his Doctor of Philosophy degree, which he received in 1935. He succeeded the late Lindsey Best as principal of PHS in 1934. During summer sessions he has taught at Pennsylvania State, Alfred University, University of Missouri, and University of Pennsylvania. His wisdom and energy have enhanced our school’s reputation; his kind and sympathetic understanding has won him the sincere admiration of all who have been fortunate to work and learn under his direction. His human touch has made him a trusted friend and adviser. The help and inspiration which he has given to all of us we will never forget. He stands as an ideal of high citizen- ship and human brotherhood. We have loved him—what more could we say? And now—good luck, Dr. Jones! Gt LAA GILT We Dedicate This 1942 Milestone To — Miss A. Leila Daily Calm, unruffled, and deeply absorbed in her work, Miss A. Leila Daily, English teacher, has given the senior class sincere friendship and much _ patience with its shortcomings. A graduate of Syracuse Uni- versity where she received her bachelor of arts degree, Miss Daily enjoys reading poet ry and xood books, seeing plays, and driving her car. To her — our sincere thanks for the interest she has shown in us. Mr. Lester D. Beers Known for his understanding of human nature, his keen sense of humor, and his capability as a teacher, Lester D. Beers, head of the science department since 1926, is a diligent worker and a sympathetic adviser. A member of the high school faculty for thirty years, Mr. Beers is a graduate of Colgate University where he received his bachelor of science degree. To him—our deep apprecia- tion for his encouragement and steadfast faith in us. ae Gour Years -- And Tomonrrew? “When shall we meet again?” A pigskin in crisp autumn sky! Carbon bisulfide and frogs’ legs, Gym suits leaping high . . . Christmas carols and the Hi-Tri dance, Latin verbs, notes in shorthand: The Wash Column over hamburgers, A new stage set and the swing band... The sine of X and history tests, Traffic jams on the stairways; Spring dates, a ring of gold, Caps and gowns end high school days . . . Now though the earth lies in confusion, We turn our strength and faith and youth To the task of building Tomorrow: A world of lasting peace and truth...

Cook “Oh, that’s one of his famous funny stories!” “There’s something behind that. His stories sort of get you ... You know, he’s different, inspiring. I love to talk to him—” And that’s the way we all feel about Frederic W. Cook, ener - getic superintendent of schools, a welcome visitor to our classes. Mr. Henry R. Hubbard What can be said about Mr. Henry R. Hubbard? Well, we know he’s the vice principal and a good one, too! He teaches bi- ology and is an expert story teller, especially when talking about his camping trips. Many know Mr. Hubbard as an ardent music lover, but above all, he is one of the students’ closest friends. Dean Iola Moore The inexperienced freshman receives his first “See Miss Moore at once!” He is filled with foreboding, for he does not know that Dean lola Moore is actually his friend and helper. She symbolizes the idea of assistance and guidance which is a leading factor in our high school. Dean George A. Smith Eight years in PHS plus an innate understanding of boys plus the ideal that “there is no such thing as a bad boy” plus continuous effort and increasing knowledge plus the gratitude of the students and the admiration of the faculty equals George A. Smith, our dean of boys! Speak! Read! Write!

Mephisto, The Wonder Horse?’ Our first long pants or up-sweep curls: We were grown-up boys and girls! We bumped the frosh from many schools In vain to follow traffic rules. Of course we carried all our books, And shrunk to mice at seniors’ looks. The year sped on with a date or two— President Lassen carried us through! ‘Pook! Isn't That No longer were we mere small fry: We were the sophomores of Plainfield High! A skating party rolled in the dough; There was just nothing we didn’t know! Russo held the class in sway, Upper assemblies were the thing of the day. Whom to ask to the current dance? A coke at The Dive—our first big romance! Figure by Edmund Chimleski The class of °42 moved right along: Battistella keeping us from wrong. The junior-senior prom in combination Lived up to the class’ expectation. “What Night Club Artists Really Do” Was the subject of the junior revue.

Graduation Photo by Richard Merrill ri “Plainfield, we revere thee!” Four years have passed and the challenging world is waiting to engulf another crop of high school graduates. High school life, with all its trials and mistakes, happiness and heartbreaks, is finished, and now unknown vistas lie ahead in the hazy future. College for some, immedi- ate work for others—all fields of experience will be the interests for the class of ’42. One-way traffic, cafeteria dashes, and report cards are now things of the past. No more chances to knit “those Argyles,” wear dungarees, sing popular songs while rushing to the next period’s class. No more thrills of beating North Plainfield (except as alumni), listening to the hot music of the swing band, Hi-Tri, Leaders, and Hi-Y dances—or the “Merrymen” and our own “Gint Dexter’s Band,” skating at Cedar Brook Park, going to the Meadowbrook, “hen” and “bull” sessions . . . All these memories, the very essence of going to high school, will be treasured in the unpredictable future. “We'll carry it through!” punouyy 1770 ounp weyyy, Orchids and Fame by Ballot TAY the same, the way you are, And sure as heck you'll travel far: With your character and your ambition, You're sure to gain great recognition.

No longer freshmen, but rather self-assured sophomores, the class of ’44 marched into high school in September, as “wise fools” ready for anything and everything! Spending the first few weeks directing the freshmen to elevators and kidding them for not asking for waiters in the cafeteria, the class finally got around to electing an executive com- mittee with one member from each homeroom. As soon as elections were over the committee began planning for the year’s activities. Tom Morris, class president, and the other officers which had been elected the previous June decided on a roller-skating party! Tom set the date, Jean Anderson, secretary, made the plans; George Turk, treasurer, practically spent the profits, and William Causbrook, vice presi- dent, filled in with the other details. October found the class skating to a profit of nearly $90! ( ¢ ‘ HOMEROOM 362 Seated first row, front to back:| Howard Troy, Kenneth Wanczak, and Antoinette Tramantano.

Absent from picture: president Rob- ert Cox and vice-president George Zirnite, What’s this coming down the hall, half-hidden by books, going up “down” stairways, and run- ning vainly for the little room that isn’t there? Why, it’s a freshman, of course. This state of confusion was only for the be- ginning of the year, however. After a few weeks they learned not to ask directions of sophomores or to carry all their books home every night, and they settled down for some real work. An election resulted in Robert Cox’s becom- ing president of the class. Although he left to go to Peddie after the first semester, the frosh were able to carry on successfully with George Zirn- ite, the former vice president. They also had full reason to be proud of Joan Brunner and Robert Mackey, secretary and treasurer. A |- together it was “a fine year”—and they’re all busy now thinking up schemes to torment next year’s freshmen!

Nevertheless, the team played a brilliant brand of football in trouncing powerful Morristown, even in bowing to West Orange. The Westfield game proved unusual because of a disagreement which resulted with the Cards walking off the field! Everyone agreed that the 1941-42 season was really outstand- ing in football. Not to be forgotten is the impressive manner in which Ida De Lisle paraded our snappy red and blue band onto the field to thrill the stands.

Spectators hold their breath as the ball circles the basket and scores . . . and there, among the winners and the losers, are the ideals that can make a school great, the qualities that make up the ideal athlete. A skillful player, a good sport—but he doesn’t tell everyone about it. A leader when necessary, he is still a team player. “I must do my part and the play will be a success,” not “Give me the ball and watch my smoke!” He pats his team members on the back when they make a score, but considers it luck when he completes a strategic play. He doesn’t take a poke when an op- ponent clips him: he works all the harder to win fairly. Sulky? Not our ideal athlete! When the coach hollers “All up!” he’s the first one up. He doesn’t groan at a couple more laps. To be at the give n time, he’s also the first one out on the field to crowd in some extra practice. In the game he is not al- ways the one who makes those runs, but he makes them possible. He’s the one who blocks his opponent and gets up to tackle the guy behind him. He doesn’t have to be brilliant in his studies, but he should work. Not everything comes easy to him, but he qualifies himself for everything. All his games might not be victories, but he enjoys and learns from every one. He participates in more than one sport. He makes either a backfield or lineman in football, probably a forward in basket- ball, and undoubtedly plays any position in baseball—or at least goes out for these other sports. He’s the guy who is both well-liked and respected by the fel- lows. He goes to dances but can still enjoy an evening with the rest of the family. He tackles real problems just as he tackles them on the track or in the field. He can take a correction or setback good-naturedly and gives his all without expecting hon- ors or praise. Big? Perhaps. But only his own efforts make him stand out from the squad. His integrity, might, speed ... He appreciates the real values in life because of his close contact with emergency, crisis, snap-decisions, and clean sportsmanship. In substance, he is the shouting of the crowds, the band’s playing, the cheerleading, the discarded programs, the soda pop, confetti and the school song . . . He is the character of American youth, the spirit of high school life .. . —T. J. G. GA er Splitting The Veice Box: Ragele- Dazzle, $i4-Boom-Bah! Through the inspiring work of the cheerleaders at pep as- semblies and games, genuine PHS spirit was aroused during 1941-42. Everyone agreed that this year had a group of the most vigorous and audible cheer- leaders ever. All those “Hesitations,” “Down by the Rivers,” and “In- dividuals” were among the cheers that brought forth bursts of enthusiasm and excitement which sent the football team to a smashing climax against North Plainfield. Always to be remem- bered is the impressive manner in which Bruce Bassett and the others led the student body “to the skies...” “T—E—A—M ... Yea, TEAM!” Left to right: Maurice Meyers, Elsie Gilbert- son, Gail Woodhull (co-captain), Evelyn Zieman, and William Parlett.

Tournaments were pretty swell—but just plain practice, learning trick shots, improving serves, and getting “downright winded” at the Randolph Road courts—were enough to hold the girls’ interest and create good sportsmanship, under the cap- taincy of Elin Sundvall and presidency of Ann Caulfield. Retin Hoods Fifty-three doesn’t seem to be such a huge number, does it? Yet, it was by 53 points that the seniors with Captain Mary Alice McGee lost the archery tourna- ment November 3 to the juniors, after Monday and Wednesday practices at the Randolph Road field with Mrs. Elizabeth Per- singer, Sym teacher.

The members assist in the L- brary during study periods by checking books and decorating the library, and entertain at parties throughout the year. The council also sponsored a Faculty Tea to help acquaint the teachers with the new _ books.

To Enforce the Law “A word to the wise is suf- ficient.” The student patrol might be tagged as “the watch dogs of PHS,” for it is their job to pro- mote law and order. They di- rect traffic in our crowded halls and remind us to keep the cafe- teria clean. A new hallway patrol was planned this year as an added protection during wartime.

Proving the adage— “Tt’s the little things in life that really count’”—our orchestra was rather small this year, but certainly offered all the beauty of tone and quality that could be demanded of a larger and more experienced group. During rehearsals, fifth period each day, the orchestra worked on overtures, light classical music and a concerto. Because of the technique and skill required, this was the first time a con- certo was attempted. Shirley Gray graced the ivories while many of the other members learned to play instruments they had never tried before. The director, A. Dwight Brown, seeks “to train students to play fine orchestral music and to advance appreciation of all types of music.” His orchestra members believe he is succeed- ing!

At football games, school as- semblies, and “the” concert in spring, our band is always there, putting us in the spirit of things. This year several of the members made the All-State High School Band. They were: Gil- bert Bosterle (drum), Russell Cross (trom- bone), Phyllis Groff (flute), Abraham Gerber (saxophone), Robert Meeks (cornet), and By- ron West (cornet).

Several times during the year the group is invited to sing for outside organizations in- cluding the Daughters of the American Revolution, Ministers Associations, Parent-Teachers Association, and the Monday Afternoon Club. The choir has an unusual reputation for original arrange- ments of songs, and is noted for varied selections, which include among the favorites: “God So Loved the World,” “Finlandia,” “To, How a Rose E’er Blooming,” and—in a less serious vein— “Oh, These Men!” “The Cricket,” and “The Hunting Song.” Sara Hill, Doris Brokaw, and Joyce Kress were star soloists this year, with Jean Wiederhold and Gloria Boyland, the accompanists.

Kops, history teacher. While they don’t always agree with each other, according to one of the members, they do have intense discussions which clear the air for straight think- ing and action. The stage hands might well be tagged “old faithfuls” for the positions they fill range from electrician to carpenter. They are responsible for the lighting in the auditorium during assem- blies and during plays, the building of scenery, and any sound effects necessary to make the plays realistic. Anyone is eligible for membership if he can be congenial and able to “create” on short notice what- ever effects are required. Has Marion Expi ed? (Ne, Just Rehearsing) What's this?!

Since the drama department cancelled “Fantasy of Light,” the all-school production written and planned for a March debut, due to the “war’s growing demands on the time of stu- dents and teachers,” the society undertook a greater number of assemblies and separate projects, including the patriotic pageant “Fun to Be Free,” given in March; an evening’s entertainment for the North Plainfield High School dramatic society after a “delightful” party at NPHS; and a group of blackouts given at an invitation club assembly. In addition, the society staged “De- Press Clinic,” an original skit, at the Central Jersey Scholastic Press Conference here in May. What do they do in meetings?—make-up lessons, correct pos- ture and walking, methods of sitting down, voice exercises— but always—“The play’s the thing!” Whenever the dramatic soci- ety is mentioned, one remem- bers the unique production of Sherwood Anderson’s “Above Suspicion” in assemblies last De- cember. Portraying the “rights we take for granted” the play expressed the feeling of a young refugee who came to America for the first time.

And that’s exactly what the senior production of “Young April” was. Just one difficulty, however: Terry, the leading lady, could not find the proper mate. There was Brian Stanley of the “beef trust” and Stuart Miller of the “brain trust”; and we must not forget George, Terry’s brother, and his “absolutely falla- cious theory about love.” Poor Mother McIntyre said that “with just a little more of the late adolescent love-life” she would be “ready for her grave.” One of the most unusual and attractive settings ever built on the high school stage was the Spanish patio of a California home, with shrubs, tile roof, and tropical flowers. Both audiences on January 30 and 31 acclaimed the play “box-office’—and for the cast it was certainly three acts of “top-notch” fun! MONOID 9.

A tugging at their heart-strings was evident—and then, suddenly, buttons snapped! Laughter spread like the mumps! The curtain rose on full houses November 7 and 8 when the junior class offered two one-act plays, “The Valiant” by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlemass; and Glenn Hughes’ fan- tasy, “Funny Business.” A bit of drama that has thrilled audiences for many years and repeated here by student demand, “The Valiant,” told the story of a prisoner, who, although con- demned to death, refused to reveal his identity. The hilarious comedy, “Funny Business” pre- sented fragments of dramatic history while solving Doris’ problem of writing a “sparkling skit that must be funny!” But the juniors were versatile and even the intermission was full of fun with Theresa Shaf- fer and Juanita Wells dancing the duet “Kate and Duplikate;” David Kapralik (member of the “Maudie’s Diary” radio skit) presenting a monologue, “Laments of Pagliacci;” Barbara Ridgeway singing “Estrellita” and “A Little Song of Life,” and Gloria Ashton in a solo tap. Milton Grant pulled rabbits out of hats in his bit of magic, while members of the a cappella choir followed with “Ay, Ay, Ay,” and “With- out a Song,”—Sara Hill as soloist. Joyce Apgar added an appropriate climax with “Deep Purple” as a setting for an acrobatic dance.

Although there is much social life, the club strives to further religious and athletic activities in the community. In the fall of each year representatives go to state and other conferences. James Pearson was the club’s president this year. Swish! A muscular Junior Leader flies through the air on the high horizontal bar or fly- ing rings of the Y.M.C.A. gym- nasium. Physical, mental, and moral betterment is accomplish- ed through Bible study lectures, exercise, and social functions. The annual Thanksgiving ban- quet, mid-winter and spring dances, gymnastic night, and a New Year’s eve party added spice to activities advised by Dr. Willis B. Day and Henry H. Banta, PHS history teacher.

Stubbs, who is also a Latin teacher. It's Legal to Catch a Queen “Check!” Homer Jones of Westfield High School (back to photographer) de- clares as Robert Maddox concentrates.

Ariel, history teacher. Checkmate When a king’s in trouble, and a queen is taken by a horse — it’s chess! Designed both for be- ginners who wish to learn the intricate moves and champions who want their skill challenged, the nine-year-old chess club holds interschool games, as well as yearly round-robin tourna- ments for the PHS champion- ship. And when not only the queen is threatened, but even the nov- ice is in danger of an up-set, it’s expert Adolf Hauck, spon- sor, who helps untangle the sit- uation. Give Cent4, Please Lose something? Well, prove your claim and you get it back —for a nickel! No matter whether a pencil or an expen- sive ring, the lost and found club imposes this fine to dis- courage carelessness among the students. Although one of the smallest clubs in the school, it has a fairly large treasury which is used for high school improve- ments or entertainment. This year the club, directed by Mrs. Celia C. Whitford, Spanish teacher, co-sponsored with the student council the South Amer- ican entertainment. A La Pan-American Getting boys to sew muslin flags for the Pan-American Day assembly in April was not the least accomplishment of the one- year-old Pan-American club. Miss Alice R. Ariel, sponsor, also. spent several meetings teaching the rhumba and other Latin American dances. Ways to strengthen hemi- sphere solidarity have been dis- cussed extensively; and various projects have included maps, prose theses, and research on political and cultural develop- ments. Onaiihe Aviree. f°. Seconds only. Silence fell over the broadcast- ing room, lights signaled; buttons were flipped and dials were twisted in thousands of homes throughout the world. It was New Year’s Eve in New York City, with only 15 minutes, eight seconds, before midnight and station PHS was ready to take the air for a summary of the year’s news. But more than that—for the answer to the question the whole nation was waiting for. Would the decision be reached before the new year? The few remaining seconds before the program were up. Announcer: The year 1952 in review! y A trumpet sounded, several bars of music, and the clear voice of announcer Ward Langstroth rang through the cold December night. Announcer: This year has seen some of the greatest ad- vances in the arts, sciences, diplomatic relations, aviation—every field of human endeavor. It is January in a little town of the middle east. Snow covers a small laboratory where the lights burn late into the night. A lone figure hovers over some test tubes — suddenly she straightens up, pushes a curl off a hot forehead, and smiles victoriously. Professor Marie Coletta discovered the germ that has caused untold deaths throughout the centuries—the common cold germ! And in the following month came the great- est decrease in taxes ever to occur to the Ameri- can people. Financier Charles Bronston organ- ized a new treasury system in Washington... In New York, Hanna Flanders, champion figure skater, broke all attendance records by her ap- pearance in the Ice Follies at Madison Square Gardens. March brought the annual press photograph- ers exhibit at Radio City with Richard Merrill copping blue ribbons in four major divisions. An April teachers convention in Atlantic City named for outstanding service in educational progress — Catherine Liotta, Sophie Coulfos, Margaret Mangione, Mary Nocera, Claire Russ, and Louis Russo. May! It is Carnegie Hall. The lights are dimmed. In a little pool of light on the stage, Shirley Gray and Ann Tornabene, concert pian- ists, are making their debut. The music stops, the applause is thunderous, bouquets are drop- ped at their feet—new artists are applauded . . June was a month of theater openings with Eleanor Daley’s production of Macbeth at the Barrymore Theater, starring Jean Hoffman, James Parker, and Herbert Raab. Then there was the premier of Not to Love You, free verse dramatization by Helen Goodwin, editor of “The Country Press.” Janice Haskard opened in the Ballet Russe, and Gint Dexter’s Band took over at the New Yorker! World traveler Jeanne Laing explored the little-known regions of the moon early in July following Bruce Newman’s non-stop flight to the green cheese planet. . . One day, far south, under the rays of an August sun, Benjamin Greenblatt bent over some frail green bushes . . . Days passed and suddenly a new kind of vegetable burst into bloom. With ends like carrots, centers like tomatoes, and speckled with peas, the new cre- ation caused a demand far beyond possible pro- duction. The entire South turned to the new vegetable. September came with Frances Boseker re- ceiving a gold medal at the Flower Show for the largest dahlia ever grown in America. In the eld of art, Edmund Chimleski was awarded the Pulitzer prize for his cartoon drawings, Herbert Freinberg for commercial art, and Jerome Abrams for models in clay. Sports took the limelight in October when the Dodgers won the series on the pitching of Robert Kochan. It was an evening in November when all the country waited by the radio dials as the election returns came through. And the final results— Walter Battistella carried the entire south and won the presidency by an even greater majority than Lester Zega in 748. In the fashion field, Jean Heyman’s creations were shown by models Ida DeLisle, Elizabeth Fussell, and Ruth Higgins, and appeared in the December edition of “Punch—with Judy” ed- ited by Evelyn Zieman, with witty footnotes in Spanish by Gail Woodhull. And that’s the year . A year of progress, of pioneering and experimentation—and i in just a few seconds the new year will be ushered in. Snow has begun to fall and noise-makers are getting wound up in Times Square below .. . Wait! Here it is! The flash the whole world has been waiting for. The first World Peace Federation has been established after years of war, disagreements, and arbitration. Jerome Vogel, American Peace Ambassador, Secretary of State Robert Webb, Secretary of War George Malzmann, and Sec- retary of Commerce Richard Zirnite have con- vened with the powers of the world to form this peace organization. Reports have just come in that terms were drawn up and signed by every nation of the world early this evening in the White House. President Battistella commented: “May to- night be the birth, not only of a new year, but also of a new world where man may live in peace and prosperity, where he may devote his wisdom, his energy, and his dreams toward a new, and more perfect world—a world dem- ocracy!” Bells, loud and long, chimed in the new year... We've Been Working Ou The Milestone...’ Will the meeting please come to order! The editor-in-chief begs for attention; secretary Irwin Bussel clears his throat: “The Wednesday meeting in 262 opened last week with a wave of uncertainty concerning the senior play—the drama editor was the book-worm and had to be at rehearsals! .. . Joan left her sick bed to come to our meeting—imagine, through a heartless blizzard of 40 below, and with a raging temperature of 94 she dragged her numb remains to our meeting! My, what courage, what a daring feat—what an amusing episode! ... ” Laughter quiets down as Words Of Wisdom are requested from “Mr. C.K.B.” “Everything seems to be coming along fine . . . I like the club write-ups—they’re good, better than average—but I think they could be still better. Will you try again? ...” With his under- standing and foresight, he encourages and criticizes, continually seeking the best, not satisfied until he’s found it in student work. “But, I object!” George characteristically interrupts. “Why must we eliminate color?) Why can’t we raise our budget? Why can’t we advertise more? Why doesn’t the whole school sub- scribe? Why can’t we do something!” “Say, they aren’t bad.” Artist Ed diplomatically switches the conversation to the life-like hall of fame sketches drawn by The Discovery, sophomore Jean Bullock. “Neither are the clay figure on the cover, the cartoon end sheets, the sports hall of fame, and the linoleum cut, Ed” Jean adds. “How about my clay figures?” Jerry demands, at which Dick shouts: “Lotta good they would have been if I hadn’t taken pictures of ’em.” “Say, those journalism classes can’t spell in these identifica- tions any better than we can!” Bill charges as he checks the work which had been corrected by the J. C. students. “Oh, you mustn’t lose faith in them,” counsels Miss Ann Demovic, English and journalism practice teacher and editor of the Montclair State Teachers Colle ge 1942 yearbook. Her interest, help, and friendship this spring made her an important part of the yearbook routine. And that was the year on Milestone: photography schedules, a filing cabinet with stamps under “K” and the dummy under “H”, the day the photographer didn’t came, sharing the Journal- ism office (or how to work in a sardine can!), the time Dick’s camera broke, the press conferences and trip to see yearbooks at Columbia, those unusual informals from White’s, the joy of the first set of proofs from Horan, the first batch of copy from Boise’s, that April 1 deadline—and the pleasure and pride of “coming out” in time for autographs! —_ 94a 85 Minicozzi, Thomas Perry and Judith Standing left to right in back row: Joan Lynch, class committee chairman; Evelyn Zieman, feature editor; Richard Merrill, staff photographer; George Malzmann, associate editor: William Parlett, associate editor; Edmund Chimleski, artist; Jerome Abrams, artist; Irwin Bussel, junior assistant editor; and Carl K.

The scene is a store: any store. The time is spring. The characters: one proprietor, slightly cynical; one Milestone ad- vertising staff member, very enthusiastic; one student, ignorant of yearbook doings; one member of the circulation staff, well- informed! Enter—Mr. Ad-Getter. The proprietor: Why, with so many other forms of advertising, should I spend my money on an ad in your yearbook? Mr. Ad-Getter: Why? (Emphatically) Why, because the year- book is at least seen by every member of the student body and purchased by almost a third; because it reaches friends, alumni, and parents outside the school; because every time this year and in years to come that the book is examined, your adver- tisement will be there. It’s permanent! Nuff said. Our hero walks out with the ad space sold! But on the way out he encounters Mr. High School Student in a discussion with the informed Wanna-buy-a-book-man on “why students should buy the yearbook.” Obviously he isn’t a senior, and hasn’t yet realized that the yearbook is “a picture of all high school life”—designed to appeal to every student as a record of the work and play in PHS. Oh, the business staffs certainly had their hands full this year, with the usual problems in addition to those the war created at practically every turn. For the first time the subscription campaign was limited to two one-week drives—evolving a production total of 540 vear- books. “Not bad,” commented George R. Strub, adviser of advertising and circulation. Why advertise in Milestone?
