These are days when history is in the making. Perhaps, therefore, the history of the class of °43 is more significant. These are days when our civilization is assailed by barbarians from the most remote to the very intimate shores of our universe. These are days of terror and destruction, but they are days of courage, and daring, and forbearance as well. These are days calling for heroes and heroines. We know that those of our school fellowship, to whom we dedicate this record of accomplishments, are of the material from which such heroes spring. It is with confidence deep and true that we dedicate our faith to them, even as they have dedicated their honor and their very lives to their beloved country and for all mankind.

The first one was very short. We remember only the high spots of that part of life we now call childhood—birthday parties and our first train ride, the sea shore in the summer, and the sleighrides in winter. The second, those years in grammar school, brings to mind the school plays, the Hallowe’en pranks, Christmas caroling, and finally — graduation. We really thought we were quite grown up then, didn’t we? Now we know differently. We’re approaching the end of the third, the most important one now. Whatever we remem- ber of the past will seem insignificant compared to the memories of these four years of high school life. Remembering “him” in the football games of our freshman year—at those sophomore swim- ming meets, putting a little something extra in- to “his” backstroke, ’cause “she” was there watching. Our first Junior prom in the eloquent- ly, decorated gym, and so proud of our first “formals” and escorts. That unforgettable com- mencement that brought a lump to his throat and tears to her eyes. But there were little things, too, such as get- ting a cut slip or seeing our name in the Entree linked with “that certain one.” That swelling of pride in our hearts whenever we made the honor roll. The empty feeling in our stomachs because of that first “F.” The excitement over the new schedules each term. The thrill of see- ing our names on the prospective graduate list. Cutting a spring day to go on a picnic. The Junior and Senior plays, the pep rallies, the football dances, the class meetings, signing year- books, saying goodbye. All these things we must turn our backs to, for we have yet to live. Someday, though. we can again look upon them. The tangible football schedules, yellow with age, play programs scribbled with com- ments, the crumpled remains of a corsage, the tarnished athletic awards, the yearbook, the intangible memories which we hold so dear. But just now, we must look ahead, for the future is more important than the past. And now we must simply call it “the end of a chapter.” WY , ; if fe4 MR. WALDRO J. KINDIG Principal SENIORS: “Never in the experience of mankind has there been so great a challenge placed before the youth of today. Sen- iors leaving our secondary schools are being asked to shoulder a great share of the burden of war and, at the same time, to create a vision of the kind of world we should like to live in after this conflict. “Many of the classmates are now in the armed services. Others will enter those services in the summer; no one in the class will be untouched by the war effort or its effects. “Let us then dedicate our energy, tal- ent, and training to the prosecution of Merely A Parting this war and to the reconstruction period of peace that will follow.” “ So-Long if WALDRO J. KINDIG, Principal MAG Ahead Ws Se It has often been said how difficult it is for many people, e specially students, to get accus- tomed to and fully acquainted with a new friend in one year. Since the very first meeting with Mr. Kindig dictates to ’ Miss Eleanor Mercuro, Secretary. our new principal, that statement lost all mean- ing, for Mr. Waldro Kindig has imbued with each and every student a common friendship, an inspiring atmosphere. % After graduating from Ohio State University, Mr. Kindig returned to his home town, Napo- leon, Ohio, to teach. Later he taught in Dela- ware, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Mt. Holly, New Jersey; and Brockton, Massachusetts. In 1935, he received his masters’ degree at Columbia University. He succeeded Dr. Galen Jones as principal of Plainfield High School last Sep- tember. Only two of his many achievements this year have been leadership in the Victory Corps and tenor membership in the faculty “barber shop” chorus. His first year in PHS is memorable, especial- ly to the departing seniors who have found in him a most devoted and enthusiastic friend. He has set a fine example in saying: “There can be no freedom without responsibility, no liberty without self-discipline.” They, Plan Our Future MR. FREDERIC W. COOK Mr. Cook, our superintendent of schools, is a visitor familiar to us all. He and his perplexing questions are always a welcome interruption to our classes. His thoughtful remarks are general- ly helpful and we are not likely to forget them soon. MR. HENRY R. HUBBARD Quietness, orderliness, and de- pendability are the well-known qualities of Mr. Henry R. Hub- bard. His familiar figure is seen early and late about the school, bent upon some urgent business. We ask Mr. Hubbard to accept our affectionate re- gards and utmost respect, which he has won during his many years as vice-principal of PHS. DEAN ELEANOR REPPERT Dean Reppert is a newcomer to PHS this year. Already she has shown us that she is essen- tial here by the good work she is doing. The girls are especial- ly grateful to Dean Reppert for the “motherly” advice and coun- seling she has given them this year. DEAN GEORGE A. SMITH Who is Dean Smith? Why, he is that jovial gentleman who al- ways has a smile and a cheery “hello” for you. He will help you with your problems and give you some sound, “fatherly” advice. By the way, boys, the Dean believes there are no “bad bo ys” in this world. Commercial Left to right: Miss Adella L.

We were awed by the size of the buildings, the number of pupils, shy in the presence of the sophisticated seniors, thank- ful to the helpful juniors, annoyed by the arrogance of the sophomores, scared at the mention of the Dean’s Office, but far too wise to fall for that “elevator gag.” We elected Janet Hand and Kevin Fitzpatrick to lead our class through the pitfalls of freshman year. None the worse for wear but far wiser in the ways of PHS, we entered our sophomore year. The much coveted “upper seats” in assembly were ours. We could look down with an air of indifference acquired by sophomores upon leaving the lowly ranks of the frosh. We elected for our class officers, Kevin Fitz- patrick, Ralph Jacobs, Bob Maguiness, and Helen Christensen. Come junior year, we saw the final success in our struggle to have a Student Activity Ticket. We started off with a bang by electing Blaine Starkweather, Ralph Slonim, Bette Smith, and Ann Pederson as class officers. We presented not one—but two Junior Plays, “The Valiant,” starring Bruce Bassett, Char- lotte Kantor, Ed Yelle, and Abe Gerber, and the extremely funny farce, “Funny Business,” with the hilarious Davy Kay, Russ Carpenter, Ken Kessler, Sara Hill, Marion Erickson, Bette Smith, and Ralph Jacobs. To top off a year of activity and good times we had a “solid” Jr.-Sr. Prom with music by Gint Dexter’s orchestra. In September ’42, we welcomed heartily our new principal, Mr. Waldro Kindig, a true friend and adviser. Together we have seen a lot of precedents set in PHS. We established a High School Victory Corps, the first organization of its kind in the history of the school. We replaced the outmoded Student Patrol with the Senior Honorary Society, an honored innovation, with Dick Kern as its first president. Upon return from an extended five week winter vacation, with our class officers, Blaine Starkweather, Bill Brown, Elsa Theilhart, and Gloria Ashton, we decided that senior plays were a thing of the past. By Spring those of us who hadn’t fallen by the wayside or joined Uncle Sam’s forces were here to graduate. Our “Prom” topped last year’s in spite of the rationings. Our lives in PHS have been like music. For some that mu- sic has been as sweet as that which emanate from Glenn Miller’s Sax Section, for others it has been as tough (to graduate) as the “rides” that Benny Goodman takes, but for most of us it has been as “solid” as Harry James.

Latin scholars are also to be found in the Junior class ... Carol Bronston, Eleanor Moore, and Eloise Schlichting represented the Class of 44 in the Baird Memorial Contest last April. In the Sport’s limelight the junior fellows, Jim Keating, Dick James, Marvin Davidson, Pete McDonough, Nunzio Loggia, Alphonse Johnson and Seymour Sack, have proved them- selves tops. ’ In the line of student government Mr. Held, Council adviser, has named Carol Bronston, Bob Albers, Pat Callender, Nancy Weglau, Dick Mooney, and Bob White as a few of the very influential council members. The class projects have been under the lead- ership of Bob White, Norman Kantor, June Turner, and Carol Bronston as officers. In the beginning of the year Joseph Corcoran held the position of treasurer until he left PHS only to return and serve as a top ranking journalist. a Oe Norman Kantor, Vice President Carol Bronston, Treasurer se They Gace A Great Future ‘Excelsior!’ Be it ever so with the Class of 44. Leaving an enviable underclass record behind them, the juniors are aiming at an even more successful year ahead so that they may bring down the final curtain on four striking and eventful years of work and play. Step by step they have elevated themselves until now they stand on the threshold of their last and best memories of PHS —their senior year. Classmates have come and gone in these last three years. Each pupil has put his shoulder to the wheel to push his class to the top. Countless events spurred the spirit of the Junior class on to greater glory—the Sophomore Skating Party, Junior Play, Junior-Senior Prom and April Fools’ Dance. They face a future promising greater and better times to- gether as a class that claims a history to rival all in history. So now proceed, Excelsior! HOMEROOM 263 First row, seated left to right: E.

Having passed the first and entered upon the second year of adventure in high school, the class of 45 had hopes for the best year of all. Too soon, however, the easy going life that sophomores “dream of” was interrupted by the task of electing class officers. Results: Steve Parello, president; Marvin Shrager, vice-presi- dent; Peggy Rapp, secretary; Harvey Roth- berg, treasurer. From then on they entered whole-heartedly into every activity. The Victory Corps was received enthusiastic- ally. The posters which publicized the Corps and aroused the curiosity of the school on the whole were made by Jean Aschenback, a fellow sophomore and head of the Publicity Depart- ment of the Corps. Too busy in war activity, the sophomore class found little time to plan for a class dance or party. The right spirit is best interpreted by presi- dent Parello as he says, “The sophomores are doing their part in the task of bringing VIC- TORY, as members of the Victory Corps, Stu- ‘dent Council, Hi-Y and the Leaders’ Club, by supporting the scrap drive, the tin can salvage drive, by buying war bonds and stamps, and in becoming educated so that our country will not make the same mistake twice, but will grow and prosper through Our future Leadership.” Sophomore Officers Left to right: Marvin Shrager, Vice President Peggy Rapp, Secretary Stephen Parello, President Harvey Rothberg, Treasurer Backs are Alive “Books are not men, and yet they are alive. They are man’s memory and his aspiration, the link between his present and his past.” This is but part of the convincing speech that John Frey narrated in “They Burned the Books.” ey) ee J ae Still Locking Up a HOMEROOMS 250, 251 and 350 First row, standing left to right: W.

Or of the stories of freshmen vainly searching for that convenient elevator and pa- tiently waiting for a waitress to serve them in the cafeteria? If you do, you are deciding a ereat injustice to the class of 46 who like most freshmen, carry the least possible books, knew the elevator story before coming to high school, and quietly dash through the halls to be the first in line for lunch. The official lineup is: Herbert Otani, presi- dent; James Ring, vice-president; Caryl John- son, secretary, and Albert Register, treasurer. This year’s freshmen have been supporting the war effort. They collected scrap, metal keys, paper, and regularly bought as many war bonds and stamps as possible. They also supported the SAT campaign very well, and are a credit schol- astically, for there are a great number of fresh- men on the honor roll.

Pass Cw Gather roun’, chillun, and listen to the great- est exposé that Father Time ever invented—that of the famous people of the class of 743. Bil Norman is doing a lot for PHS now; he’s principal, and right with him is Helen Christen- sen, as the Dean of Girls. Ralph Slonim and Mary Logan have hit the top together. He’s the millionaire who manu- factures tires (that species from the ancient rubber era), and she’s that ingenious modern novelist of world fame. In the limelight are Bob Mercready and Doris Gunderson as the most popular celebrities of the day, first in the hearts of their countrymen. Headlines from the East Coast—Broadway proudly presents Charlotte Kantor and Russel Carpenter in its greatest hit of the season “Are You Kiddin’?” Audrey Morton and Joe Kurtz- man take a bow as radio’s wittiest comedians. York and Yelle (Kitty and Ed to you) are dancing at the “Starlight Terrace” at the ‘Wal- dorf Astoria. At present Al Aitken and Sara Hill are touring Europe with the Metropolitan Opera Co. Jane Kellberg as Miss America of 1953 and Bill Brown, “America’s Matinée Idol No. 1,” are causing many hearts to throb. As the phyi- cal feat of the ages, Barbara Schaaf can shake the hand of Ernie Carlomango, who is to meet Joe Louis in the boxing ring for World’s cham- pionship title, soon. The cure for lovesickness has just been invented by that ingenious scien- tist, Jerry Mendel. Kevin Fitzpatrick and Boots Malott has just finished their best seller, “The Art of Talking.” Eddie Yelle and Bette Smith are settled in their Long Island home with Eddie Jr., the heir to those dancing feet. Bette still day dreams of a castle in Spain. Bob Galvin day dreams of Hedy Lamarr, too. That sophisticated John Marion led the Easter Parade with Lydia Klein this year. New York society has acclaimed Edith Kistler as its most sophisticated leader. Plainfield society has put its bid on Dolores Bates, the girl with the natu- ral sparkling personality. Otto Krienke is natu- ral, too. (He’s the guy with the silver wings). The White House has a new tenant, that sensa- President Blaine Stark- tional personality, weather. Gene MacMahon, big league baseball star, is still blushing over that foul ball that he hit last year; Yetta Crowetz is blushing with him (she caught the ball). Good sportsmanship reigns in the House of Kern. That’s right; Dick is the Congressman who is razzed so much. He takes it on the chin, though. Helen Pickel, the ice skating star, is still being teased about her fall in Padoonk, Ohio, last month. She just laughs it off. That vivacious Senator, Kenny Kessler, just passed a bill in Congress that will enable all high school students to run their schools. Vir- ginia Lott with her peppiness may be our first woman president after our next election. There, you have it all in a nutshell, PHS has certainly contributed her share of the country’s well-known figures—amazing, isn’t it???? . . .

Smith, Mr. Warren H. Held, and Mr. Waldro J. Kindig, the 1942-43 Student Council greatly fulfilled its task of service to the student body. The Student Activity Ticket Committee led by Bill Ellis and Carol Bronston enabled over 1100 students to attend all big school activities at very little cost. On November 20, eight PHS delegates participated in the Student Council Convention at Rutgers University. Carol Bronston and Bill Norman were s peakers; Bob Albers led a group discussion; and Bob White ran for presidency of the State Council. Among other Council activities were the formation of a War Stamp and Bond Committee headed by Jack Shuster and Miss Gertrude Moodey, faculty adviser, the backing of the Senior Honorary Society, the sponsoring of the annual Christmas program, the backing of a city- wide scrap drive, the aiding in the annual P-TA membership drive, and the sponsoring of the Football Dance in October. Such ideas as a cabaret dance, freshman tea, cafeteria problems, school spirit organization, suggestions for future S.A.T.’s, a dancing class, and honor study halls also ran the gauntlet of discussion at the business sessions. Bill Norman, who left in February for the U. S. Navy, was succeeded by the former vice president, Dick Kern, who in turn was replaced by Bill Brown. The secretary and treasurer this year have been Ruth Gladden and Dolores Bates. First row, seated left to right: C. Bronston, J. Norman, M. Schlichting, A. Wolfson, B. Coyle, C. St. Vrain, J.

The advisers thought it would be better to have a local organization, rather than a national one as the former could devote more time to our school at the present. The Honorary Society was organized to recognize the leaders of the school, who in turn could benefit the school by their services. Hence the purpose of this Society is to help organize and carry out the functions of the school, for the welfare of all concerned. During the past year members of the Society have partici- pated in the following activities; acting as receptionists in the front hall; giving assistance during lunch hours; planning for betterment of the cafeteria system; assistance in food rationing; conducting registration for Victory Corps; and ushering at vari- ous events. In short, the Society has helped whenever or wher- ever needed. Members of the Society can be recognized by the red, blue, and silver pin exclusive to Society members. The following members have left school for the armed ser- vices: William Norman, Navy and Alfred Aitken, Marines; William Ellis and Tilghman Koons have left PHS, but they are continuing their education at college.

At the begin- ning of each school year, the principal duty of the Council is to instruct the freshmen in the workings of the library. The members also work for two periods a week before or after school, for which they receive one point of credit. Both Councils sponsored a Book Week Contest on aeronautics, presenting a pro- gram in both Assemblies on that theme. The Councils also assisted in the Victory Book Campaign for servicemen. Other activities included story-telling for small children and helping in the Public Li- brary. The officers of this year’s Senior Coun- cil are: president, Jeanne Stockle; sec- retary, Alice Chirojiane; and treasurer, Ralph Hallack. Members leaving this year are Phyllis Tinsman, Florence Brown, Bernice Lew- is, and Jeanne Stockle. Third row, W. Turner, B. Strang, R. Jarrett, Kennedy. FRESHMAN LIBRARY COUNCIL For the first time in many years Plainfield High School has had a Fresh- man Library Council. Miss Josephine Miller, librarian, chose the members on the basis of their scholastic records and learning ability. Every Freshman Council member is taught the Dewey Decimal System, which teaches one to locate all the books in the library, how to use the files, and to make duplicates for cards or records. Each freshman has a senior sponsor who acts as instructor and helper. Exams are taken to determine how much he has learned. The freshmen have their own meet- ings and they assist Miss Miller and Miss Catherine Moraller in every way pos- sible. The officers of this year’s Freshman Council are: Eleanor Smith, president; Richard Thickstun, secretary; and June Millman, treasurer. éyooy pooh py vy0uy °° ° Leaders Ju The Making JUNIOR LEADERS: Lett to right, Ist row: D.

September saw the beginning of the club; since then, it has done well as a nucleus for a more widespread and larg- er club. The purpose of the club is to uphold and raise the standards and ideals of our community as a whole. Helping the poor, actively participating in the war effort, studying inter-racial issues as well as learning how to cope with them are only a few items among the activities of the club. Officers are president, Sterling Cary; vice president, George Smith; treasurer, Aston Thompson; secretary, Robert Pit- tard; and_ sergeant-at-arms, William Brighton. Members are Everette Lati- more, William Wolfe, Herman Hailey, Emmett Mitchell, Isaac Howard, Daniel Morgan, Oliver Brown, and Fred Perry. The Plainfield Junior Leaders, found- ed thirteen years ago by a group of six high school boys, numbers one hundred eighty members, one-third of whom are now in the armed services. The foundation of the club is the Bible. Once weekly Mr. Guy R. Sutton has led the club in Bible study. Another aspect of the club is the de- velopment of the mind. Thursday af- ternoons, at the regular business meet- ing Dr. Willis B. Day gives an informa- tive lecture of the Theory of Physical Education, and frequently Mr. Henry H. Banta, adviser, addresses the club on schoolwork. The aim of the club is the develop- ment of the body through gymnastic work. Social functions of the club in- clude dances, banquets, and a gymnastic night. Moorland Boys This Way, Please The usher squad, a_ co-ed group of 38 members, is organ- ized to escort students and vis- itors to their proper seats. The first time they ushered was at the commencement of the class of 42. Since then they have ushered at all assemblies and special school events. Miss Ger- trude Moodey is the faculty adviser.

Chosen for their vocal ability and cooperation, the gi rls, under the direction of Mrs. Mildred P. Searles, have appeared at the annual Christmas and Easter programs robed in maroon. The group, known for its excellent ability to sing varied types of songs, received many outside invitations. The 98 girls devoted time on Christmas Day to singing for the soldiers at Camp Kilmer. Part of their outside calendar includ- ed the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Parent-Teach- ers Association, the congregation of the Grant Avenue Presby- terian Church and their own Spring Concert, the Music Festival. This year the “song birds” chose a repertoire of patriotic and semi-classical music. They introduced interesting and viva- cious arrangements of “The American Patrol,” “The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag,” “The Lovely Four [caf Clover,” “White Christmas,” “The Home Road,” “You Are,” and the song which is associated with them only, “Lo, How a Rose ’Ere Blooming. oe Sara Hill and Barbara Ridgeway shared soloist honors and the accompanists were Eloise Schlichting, Jean Wiederhold and Gloria Boylan.

Savage, opened the Easter program with a pompous processional adding to the awe and sol- emnity of the occasion. At the A Cappella Choir’s spring concert the boys did an_ interesting group of three numbers and later com- bined with the girls to do three more selections. Sthiihe Up The Band '! eee “Quiet!”—a rap, rap of the baton, and Mr. Clarence Andrews, direc- tor of the PHS Band, swings into action. The sixty-some members eag- erly await the announcement of the next piece. It might be one of the famous marches of John Philip Sousa, or one of Fillmore’s? Maybe itll be something along the modern line—“Begin the Beguine,” “Rose Marie’”—or something from Victor Herbert. A very good guess, how- ever, would be one of those overtures in the semi-classical or classical vein—“Semeramidi,” by Rossini, or “William Tell,” with its famous “Lone Ranger” passage. Mr. Andrews has organized a “Studio Band,” composed of twenty- six to thirty-six members from the senior band, to play when additional instruments are needed for more complex compositions. Because of the transportation difficulties this year, the band was unable to accompany the football team to the opponents’ gridirons. At North Plainfield, however, the band was there in full splendor, where they cooperated with the North Plainfield Band and formed a patriotic “V” on the field. The band also played at all home games. During the extended Christmas vacation the band gave concerts for almost all the grammar schools and several Boy Scout functions. For “compensation” our band was rewarded a trip through Radio City in New York, and witnessed the evening broadcast of Fred Waring and his aggregation. FIRST FLUTE: Clayton Baer.

When school re-opened this year, the Junior Senior orchestras united. Special rehearsals were added on the mornings of Wednesday and Friday from 8:15 til school time. The stu- dents have been very conscientious in attending these extra rehearsals. Appearing for the first time, the orchestra participated in the Thanks- giving program in which they played the famous “Voices of Spring” by the well-known Viennese composer, Johann Strauss. During music week, the orchestra played for the annual meeting of the combined Union County Service Clubs. Mr. Brown also innovated a new organization known as the Stringy Septet, composed of five violinists, a pianist, and a vibra-harpist. The violinists are: Mr. Brown, Mary Kay Schlichting, Eva May Campbell, Yula Hyland, and Lois Beal. Gloria Boylan was the pianist. Jeanne Rosenkrans offered renditions on the vibra-harp. This group assisted in the Easter program by playing “The Rosary,” and on April 8, they presented a few numbers, mainly “Memory Lane,” “Begin the Beguine,” and “The Indian Love Call.” The orchestra and String Septet played for several grammar school programs, and the Septet entertained at a special program for NPHS. el 4 pees First row, standing in the back, left to right: A.

The participants experienced that sensation of being unusually “weak in the knees.” As each member of the cast stepped onto the stage, he waited for the others to utter some little word; could this be “stage fright?” Ah, at last the faithful prompter whispered a cue and the day was saved. The play moved on rapidly, and as the curtain fell, another huge success was credited to Plainfield High. The group, composed of juniors, seniors, and some sopho- mores, all of whom had to qualify for membership, started their 3 Re GerS : oor ” year’s activities with a performance of “They Burned the Books, by Stephen Vincent Benet. Phoebe Hardingham, a junior member of the club, repre- sented PHS at the poetry reading contest at Newark, N .J. The final declamation contest was held in May and included the following girls of the club: Marion Erickson, Mary Louise Chirojiane, Phoebe Hardingham. The boys were: John Frey, Bruce Bassett, Robert Lundstrom, and George Turk.

Miss Ruth Le Fevre (Dramatic Coach) ey Ol = ; june Mad’ Overwhelmingly ‘Dinny $ The curtain went up with a full house on the night of November 13 and 14 when the Junior Class presented “June Mad,” a three-act play, by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements. “June Mad” was the first full length play, a rollicking comedy about the trials and tribulations of Penny Wood, an average teen-aged girl. The production sent the audience home for- getful of war worries and homework troubles. Phoebe Hardingham portrayed to perfection the part of Penny and every mother in the audience was reminded of the days when a glamorous dress and a handsome beau meant every- thing in her young life. Likewise, every father was reminded of the time when having the family car for one evening was worth a whole month’s allowance, as they watched Arthur “Dippy” De Vitalis enact the part of Chuck, Penny’s ardent teen-aged suitor. Howard Carl in the role of Roger Van Vlek was certainly a scoundrel; it took both Penny Wood and Julie Harris, played by Phoebe Hardingham and Ruth Townsend to show him up. Another interesting character was “Effie,” the maid, comically played by Nancy Weglau. Many other characters enacted their roles naturally and ac- cording to part. They were Mrs. Wood, Louise Loizeaux; Dr. Wood, Norman Kantor; G. Mervyn Roberts, Robert Albers; Milly Lou, Betty Wilks; Elmer, William Bray; Mrs. Harris, William Ellis; Ralph and Shirley Wentworth by John Gee and Joan Saunders. rh 4 % oe Ist row, left to right: R.

During the Courier-News drive, the club carried out an advertising campaign in the home rooms, thus stirring up school spirit to the tune of 250,000 “pounds. Talks by servicemen on officers’ train- ing and life in the service prepared members to take their parts later on, while movies on aspects of war work and the various services highlighted the meeting. Joint activities were carried out with other Hi-Y clubs, while discussions and a joint play were planned with the Sen- ior Hi-Y club. Members attended many conferences held throughout the year for YMCA groups. The club officers are: president, Ralph W. Jacobs; vice-president, John Marion; secretary, first term, Tilghman Koons; secretary second term, Jack Shuster; and treasurer, Edward T. Yelle. Bill Ellis and Tilghman Koons, two seniors, left during February to enter Princeton University. Members who have left to join the various services are Bil Norman, Navy; Houston Baker, Al Aitken, and Will Vincent, Marines. i Sor Variety Friday nights are Hi-Tri nights. The program might feature a speaker, a fashion show, sing- ing, or even a play written and acted out by members of the club. Besides the weekly meet- ings, there are also the mid-winter and summer conferences to which representatives are sent from all over the state. A new feature this year will be the play given with the Hi-Y club under the direction of Mise Alice Ariel, adviser; part of the profits will to the war effort. Hi-Tri is fun, but it is serious too. This year the clubs have been turning over several meet- ings a month for work in the war effort; such as, making scrap books for the U. S. O. and rolling bandages for the hospital. The new Girl Reserve secretary, Miss Kather- ine Cole, has been a splendid help, especially at those crucial moments when the cry comes “Our speaker hasn’t arrived” or “Jane’s sick so we don’t have any music.

A first year success—the Plainfield High School branch of the. nationwide High School Victory Corps has become that since innovation here. Formulating general plans to start the Corps program off, the Victory Corps Council, composed of faculty and students, representing the classes, Student Council, publications and art department, met to decide upon membership requirements. Members are: chairman, Mr. W. Kindig, Mr. H. Banta, Mr. G. Smith, M. W. Held, and Mr. C. Dunavan; Miss A. Achtenhagen, Miss K. Patton, Miss G. Paul, Miss A. Demovic, Miss M. Smith, and Miss H. Michalska; and R. Mooney, R. White, R. Okell, J. Ring, J. Marion, J. Frey, R. Neu, M. Evans, J. Aschenbach, J. Brunner, R. Strom, J. Gidding, S. Churchill, and A. Lewand. The largest group is the General Membership of almost 1090 students, which has divided: into six special divisions for junior and senior enlistment. The Community Service division under Miss Smith was subdivided into several groups; such as, Hospital, Public Health, Red Cross, and Messenger services, wherein each division became a vital part of Plainfield’s war Sore The production service was most noteworthy in its Victory Garden Club un- der Mr. W. Sette; likewise, the farm project under Mrs. C. Bush could not be overlooked as she found locations for many high school students on farms. Perhaps the most unique of all divisions is the Sea under the leadership of “Skipper” A. Smith. A strictly pre-induction group is the Land Service, sponsored by Mr. M. Frischling, which has arranged several speakers for all boys who expected to enter the service this year. The Air Service Division, with Mr. C. Bogart as adviser, has been really working hand-in-hand with the pre-flight course. A precedent in PHS, the Victory Corps has had a most successful beginning. A Laugh Zor Scrap T. Koons, J. Marion, E. Yelle, and R. Jacobs proved that American can and will retain their sense of humor during wartime. As officers of Hi-Y, the boys were in dead earnest about the scrap. drive sponsored last October. Entree E iditors; S. Chureéh Bie Churchill, mana, —PLAINTIBLU HIGH SCHOQL, PLAINFIELD, Nod.

Presenting: Editers Undergoing a complete change of personnel, the editorial staff of the En- tree has kept up to past year’s stand- ards under the advisership of Miss Ann Demovic, who has replaced Mr. C. K. Bomberger, now in the armed services. The main body of editors changed with Bob Albers and Sallie Churchill acting as chiefs, Joe Corcoran, John Snedeker, news; Bob Okell, composing; Mim Cowley, feature, and Bud Roths- child, sports, as editors. This year saw the wartime Entrees and the staffs started cutting down on photos, even though George Deats, Dave Williams, and Bob Hoddeson were al- ways on hand with their cameras. But student ability was brought to light as the Entree had to use linoleum cuts, and Jack Hirsch and Ann Korff kept the paper well supplied. The press conferences were also on a wartime basis as there were only two. At the second one at Columbia, the En- tree was again judged a first (excellent) place school newspaper; Sallie Church- ill and Joe Corcoran wrote an article for the “Columbia Spectator” and had their pictures printed in the Alumni magazine; and Miss “Dem” led a round- table discussion. But not all the credit of the Entree should go to the editorial staff alone, as the Business Staffs under Mr. A. H. Otto and Miss J. E. Johnstone have done much to keep the Entree going. Joe Fleischman, advertising manager, col- lected ads with the aid of Shirley Feld- man, Annette Rubel, Ruth Strom and Esther Miller. Handling Entrees on publication days is the job of the Circulation staff, com- prising, Helen Christensen, chairman, Grace Kane, Joyce Kress, and Carol Hahn. ‘Hows the Finances?’ The Bask Of The Year Amid the hustle and bustle in the combined Entree-Milestone cubby hole in 208, the ’43 yearbook was born . . . Somewhere underneath piles of pictures, copy, paste-up Ahear avis sketches, and more pictures, the Editor sat in a concentrated whirlpool of a hundred and one jobs to do. At his side were his eager attendants ready at a minute’s command. “Have all the pictures been identified, Joan? Miriam, let’s have the final senior write-ups by 3:30! Have you received any new pictures of fellows in service, Bette? Remember Tuesday’s deadline! Joe, I want that Cheer Leaders write-up by tomor- row morning 8:30 sharp! Dave, did you develop those pictures yet? O.K. folks, let’s close shop” . .. No sooner gone then back again—What a life! For all the rush and bother, the running around, the “burn- ing of the midnight oil”—with all the work and all the fun, the deadlines and contracts, the letters and notes, the proofs and copy, amidst the shouting and clamoring, the noise and gay laughter, in the classrooms and on the fee THE MILE- STONE stands for PHS spirit and fame. “We'll carry it through” was Editor Irwin Bussel’s motto. With the encouragement and guidance of faculty adviser, Miss Ann Demovic, and assistance of the staff, it is safe to conclude, “We have carried it through a most memorable year—a year of work ... and fun.” MILESTONE EDITORIAL STAFF First row: seated left to right, M.

Not only did the Liddymen have a difficult ten-game schedule, but Coach Jack Liddy had to cope with one of the lightest “elevens” in Plainfield High School’s history. Only three good-sized lettermen showed up for September practice. Among the backs, the “bulling” half- back was never to be found. Opening with Careteret and Columbia, the gridsters found themselves against heavier and more experienced elevens. Chubby Miranda, the diminutive fullback from Bound Brook, literally beat the “Cards” single handed. There isn’t any shame in this, as Chub was the high scorer for the state. Playing their finest defensive game of the campaign thus far, Coach Liddy’s operatives bowed to East Orange, one of the finest schoolboy’s teams in the state. Spurred on from its showing at East Orange, Plainfield next traveled to Morristown. Facing a tricky team, the Liddymen met their match and tied — the Colonials. West Orange, a usual powerhouse, was stalled in the first frame by the Cards, but it proved too much in the end. Here we proved to be a good defensive outfit. North Plainfield High School ruled a favorite once again. We showed them that we were not what they expected. They scored first, but then Jake Dexter, doing yeoman work went around end for our first score. A few minutes later Taylor Redd passed to McCue for our second score, McCue converting on both occasions. The third period belonged to the Canucks, for they scored twice, bringing their total up to twenty. Redd rushed the last score over, but McCue’s kick was blocked and the game ended in a 20-20 deadlock. On one of the coldest afternoon’s of the year, a great combi- nation of backs possessed by Rahway proved a little to much. In the meantime, another game was scheduled with North Plain- field with the proceeds to go to an injury fund. The first half was scoreless, but North Plainfield’s Frankie Bausmith ham- mered through for a touchdown in the third period. Plainfield then started rolling—Ernie Carlomango, small as he is, knocked North Plainfield down the field and finally crossed “Old Glory.” McCue’s conversion was good, and we led 7-6. North Plainfield, growing desperate, opened up a passing attack and scored with about five minutes of playing time left. The Cardinals didn’t have time to score again and must go down as the second team in history to lose to North Plainfield. ) ————E n — 9% gn Pa in 8 1, ued hy the Cowte: @ the tane of 049,, decumbens ace!

The “Woodmen” had much heavier team but our men fought hard to win. More than once McCue’s super kicking helped us out of a tight hole. Woodbridge scored through the line toward the end of the third period; however, Plainfield kept fighting and was rewarded in the last period when “Jake” Dexter flipped a pass to McCue who took over the yeoman position in the end zone. McCue’s kick was wide, and Woodbridge came surging back in an effort to win. Plainfield still held and was starting to make another scoring bid when the final gun sounded. This year’s graduates include Dick Kern, Bob Mercready, Winnie Williams, Bob Van Buren, Gene McMahon, Taylor Redd, Larry Gleason, Blaine Starkweather, Paul Flagg; Earl Lovejoy, Ray McCue, Ernie Carlomango, Monk Monsell, Bob Daly, Bob Jensen, and Jake Dexter.

Mr. Hub Stine Pysical Gitness Compulsory athletics made their first appearance in Plain- field High School last November when junior and senior boys be- gan reporting to high school field for calisthenics and recrea- tional games. Later, in the win- ter, military drills were given by two non-commissioned of- ficers from Camp Kilmer. The purpose of the new pro- gram was to prepare the boys for the rigors of Army life, if and when they were inducted. A commando course was set up on the football field, and the Frank Lobaugh, senior, went through the paces as the Physical Fit- 4 ness Program went into effect. students could be seen running the course every afternoon. Attention ! Parade Dress! Only a few of the Army com- mands that the boys are learning in their preparation are: atten- tion, parade dress, right and left flank; right, left and, to the rear march, present arms, and forward march. Our boys will be ready when they call! Army instructors show our boys how “it’s done.” Between the Head Pins Bowling has gained such popularity that Plainfield High had its first success- ful Bowling team this year. Bowling be- came a minor sport, largely through the work of Bill Hamilton and Athletic Director, Mr. Hub Stine. Meets were arranged for the first time, which proved to be very exciting. The best Plainfield could do was to earn a split with Somerville, and, at another time, Plainfield, had more total pins than Somerville, thus being able to win by a decisive margin. A match was also arranged with the faculty in which the Red and Blue bowl- ers won with a maximum count. The faculty was represented by Mr. Stine, Mr. Raymond Lewis, Mr. John Sierge, Mr. Henry Banta, Mr. Kermit White- head, and Mr. William Gordon. Individual honors of the school for the men with the highest average went to Bill Hamilton—159, Bob Daly—157, and Bill Minarch—153. Members of the Red and Blue team are: Bob Daly, Bill Minarch, Bill Ham- ilton, Neal Foley, Gene McMahon, Chub Bradley, Wayne Jensen, Paul Mansberry, Richard Arndts, and Brad Baker.

Froggers’ What would have been a rather dismal season for the Plain- field basketeers turned into a crowning success, as the Cards won the city championship in two straight games from North Plain- field. The second, and championship winning contest, will long be remembered by those who witnessed it. It was an overtime affair that saw Plainfield sink their game winning basket in the added “sudden death” period. The victory kept intact Coach Bill Brann’s record of never having lost the city crown to the Boroites since taking over the coaching duties. The Brannmen just missed the .500 mark, winning 9 and losing 10 games. Handicapped by the lack of a practice court during the Christmas vacation, due to the oil shortage the team gave a good showing. The Cardinals were victorious over Dun- ellen, Cranford, Metuchen, Linden, Hillside, St. Patrick’s, Bound Brook, and North Plainfield twice. They lost to Rahway twice, New Brunswick, Linden, Cranford, Thomas Edison, Phillipsburg, Regional twice, and Thomas Jefferson. They also competed in the Union County Tournament, reaching the semi-finals, and the State tourney, but were unfortunately eliminated in the first round. The starting five consisted of Paul Mansberry and Ray Me- Cue at forwards, Winnie Williams as center, and Ernie Carlo- mango and Al Frankowski as guards, with Allen Sweet the number one substitute. Mansberry led the Red and Blue in scoring, tallying 161 points in 18 games. Ernie Carlomango, in addition to his fine defensive play, was close behind Paul with 14] markers.

How to Sink 'Em Mermen Secoud Ju Natiouals How ta Win in Give Easy Lessons By Coach Victor Liske First Lesson for Joe Kurtzman In a trail inscribed in the annals of PHS aquatic history, Coach “Victory” B. Liske’s water combine once again proved themselves among the most worthy Cardinal squads to display the Red and Blue. Plainfield High more than equalled last year’s prodigious accomplishments by acquiring runner-up posi- tions in the National Interscholastic Swimming Championships. The Card Power House was paced by the brilliant record- shattering performances of Hank “Invincible” Lentzsch and Joe “Mole” Kurtzman in which Joe churned up new school and county standards with the respective times of 2:30.4 for the 220-yard freestyle and a 1.08.7 for the 100-yard breaststroke. Otto Krienke had his usual double victory in the dive and the 100-yard backstroke. The rest of the team were Hal Conn, Jim Vanderbeek, Charles Nagengast, Pete McDonough, Arthur Clark, Bill Walker, Roger Lewis, John Prigge, Charles Hadley and Harry Heidelberg. Inaugurating the season with a crushing defeat over Pingry 41-16, the scarlet tide continued its string of successes to total five straight tallies. The County Championships fell in favor of the tanksters as they doubled their closest competitor’s score, to capture first place in all but two events. Columbia, however, turned the tables on the “Ever-victorious Cards” to conclude the dual season with but a lone loss by a 29-38 decision. The feature dual meet of the year was ceded by a three- point margin to “Coach” Joe Kurtzman’s Red team over “Coach Lentzsch’s Blues in a 30-27 battle that ended in the Red Team’s Otto Krienke favor. Highlight of the year occurred when the Red and Blue Med- ley Team composed of Peter McDonough, backstroke; Joe Kurtz- man, breaststroke; and Hank Lentzsch, freestyle, splashed into second place in the National Interscholastic Meet.

They went on to win more than their share of games. The Cards lost the services of the following stars for the ’43 season: Dutch Schmidt, Pete Peterson, Joe Black, Ken Hess, Eddie Kane, Pluggy Kochan, Stan Jadeski, Simon Monte- forte, all pictured below. The Liddymen were pleasingly surprised when it was announced that the Newark Bears would go through their Spring training at the local Randolph Road field. Playing a game against a picked group of high school stars, the Bears faced the Cardinals. Among the “talented” Red and Blue players that made the squad of only 28 players were: Norm Rhinehart and Gene McMahon, pitchers; Fiore Ciarfello at the hot corner, Bill Minarck and Sonny Madjeski at the keystone combina- tion, and _patrolmen, Tom O’Brien, Dick Kern and Harold Redd in the picket line. lst row, left to right: S.

Brown Coach Harold Bruguiere A. Johnson, J. Moody, J. Moody E. Mitchell Men Of Speed Prospects for this year’s track team are defi- nitely good, with a number of returning letter- men. Jack Moody, Plainfield sophomore, who tied for first in the high jump at Madison Square Garden in t he Nationals, will bear special watch- ing in his event. If he can equal or better his mark of 6’ 2”, it should be good enough to take first in the county or State meet. Emmett Mitchell, also a sophomore, will return to run the half mile. Also returning for another campaign will be Alphonse Johnson in the hurdles, Jack Shuster and Seymour Sack in the mile, Dick James, Bill Brown and Jim Keating in the pole vault, Bruce Dickerson and Ralph Hann in the 880, Marvin Davidson, a standout in the quarter and broad jump last year, Blaine Starkweather and Austin Wolfe in the dashes, and Fred Dellaperute and Larry Gleason in the weights. A number of promising freshmen and newcomers will round out the body of the squad. Coach J. Liddy and the Boys First row, left to right: K. Gardner, G. Andy, J. Dunn, M. A. Ludwig, E. Henderson, J.

Our Guture Mind and Body Builders The Girls’ Leaders’ Club, formerly sponsored by Mrs. Eliz- abeth Persinger, is now under the supervision of Miss Marion Snyder. Juniors and seniors are eligible to train as Leaders. The girls learn the various rules of games, dance steps, and exer- cises for fundamentals. They must teach before the club of 32 members, before being able to undertake the instruction of underclass groups. After one year of teaching, the girls receive a blue felt “L” with a red border. ee 7 pe Having Gun? Figures Of Physical Feat (Left to right) M. V. Logan, V. Lott, E. Thielhart, Y.
