The AnglofAmerican atomic bomb wrote finis to World War Il, and Russia administered the coup de grace. As we look back, we can see the inevitable progress of events which led to the end. At no time in human history has one nation so completely dominated the entire world as we have in this last year. America has become the hope of the future in the hearts of today. For six long years civilization was at war. For six long years all the lights were out. Smoke crept unseen through the darker air, and the heavens screamed and the earth groaned and the seas were black and dangerous. Men struggled, rubbed their eyes, and stared for the light in a bloody fog. There was firelight: the embers of London and Leningrad glowed on hurrying, sweatflined faces and exaggerated them till they seemed distorted with hatred. There were blue flames, and dancing sparks, and the dead, still, metal light in the white hearts of torture furnaces. No wonder that when the Allies threw open the doors and let in the sun and the shining day, all the world looked up in wonder. There was expectation that those who had shaped and wielded that superhuman instrument, the atomic bomb, would shape and weld a world of friendship and goodwill. Let us at least hope so. The Milestone staff has seen our high school as a symbol of this hope. Let us make it also a symbol of the future. These are the doors that are never closed to those who wish to enter. This is the pathway to universal goals: education, understanding, friendship among all peoples. Millions have traveled along a road that led to war. But from these halls must come a new generation who will not wait for the sun to shine, but will reach up and break asunder the clouds. This year will be the turning point, both for us and for the world, For us, the exits of high school will be the entrances of life. Let us pray that this year will likewise be, for the world, the doorway to eternal and everlasting peace.

'V a Achtenhagen r HI HAS SHIIW IIS HIIW IIEIIIEATIIIN To VICTOR B. LISKE: in esteem born of his Winning friendship and ready understanding, of the help and inspiration he has given to those who have worked with him, we, the class of 1946, sincerely dedicate this Milestone. Victor B. Liske Coach gives Whitey and Bob the word. Victor Liske was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in ff f if ,ff iffy' man, he migrated to New York City. When he left George Washington High School, he ranked first in his class in Spanish. He had contributed his swimming talents to the glory of George Wzlshf ington, and once held New York's fiftyfyard back' stroke record with a time of 30.2 seconds. This was only fourfifths of a second from the world ' ' record. . ' V 'Zfw Z .fy 71,5 1 Vs f ki . , ,Q 1910. Obeying an impulse to Come east, young 1. ' ETC a 1 Not long afterward the young swimmer was seen on the Lafayette College campus. He majored, - of course, in Spanish. He was active in athletics, pitching varsity baseball, and participating in intramural basketball. In his senior year he captained the Lafayette swimming team. Little wonder that when he came to Plainfield in 1934 he was immediately snapped up to coach our own mermen. The year of his coming to Plainfield was also the year of Mr. Liskels marriage. His two children, Nancy and Peter, are now both prospective Evergreen School graduf ates. It was there that Mr. Liske began his teaching career, taking time out to coach the high school swimming team through three successful seasons before he came to P.H.S. in 1937. Since that time, he has guided the mermen through nine seasons of recordfbreaking victory, making the Plainfield High School swimming team the pride of the city. Its record is one of which we may always be proud, just as we are proud to number Mr. Liske among our teachers and friends. Left: That famous Liske smile makes math a pleasure. Right: Like father like son-a medalist in the making. , 1 Zin jllllemnrnam Miss Esther Egerton The portals of knowledge lay open, and she led us through the doorway to Old World culture. We learned to love the France which she knew and loved. She kindled within us the desire to explore other vistas of learning. In the hearts of students and fellow workers, her Zeal and aspiration for high standards of scholarship will live, a rich, enduring memory. 8 PHINUIPM? FIRST llllllli HI THE RIGHT...

They don't live in the governor's mansion, but they do meet each Tuesday in the library for their Student Council meetings. Counsel on what? Well, anything from solving our cafeteria problem this year to improving school spirit. If you happened to pass by the library some Tuesf day about 10:06 A. M., you might hear the knock of jim Ring's gavel, calling another meeting to order. If you hesitated a while, STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS you might get in on Secretary Cornelia Fisher's report. The Student Council, under the supervif sion of Dean Lola Hoff, Dean George Smith, and Mr. Warren Held, opens a door of governmental experience. Through the Home' room Representatives system it serves as a clearing house for student opinion. We were proud to have the presidency of the State Student Council organization here at Plainfield this year with Ted Fort in the chair. Left to right: D. McDonough, treasurerg R.

According to what has been heard, this, too, is popular. These clubs do a wonderful job entertaining both school and community, At Christmas time they sang again and again for town organizaf tions and furnished the musical background for the annual Christmas presentation The Heavens Declare.

THRIIUISH THE SERVICE E IHA III As a bewildered freshman, you probably wondered who that imposing looking senior was railroading you into your seat at the assemblies. You probably took notice of the fellow in shirt sleeves, adjusting the mike on the stage-and never getting it at quite the right height. You might have been a little befuddled when the movies came on the screen, wobbled, blurred, and then faded out at the most interesting scene. At that sweet and tender age, you might have lost your beau's friendship ring and have gone to Room 130, only to find a dozen more rings like yours, but the wrong size. You probably remember paying a thirtyfcent library line for an overdue book you hadn't enjoyed anyway. As you took in everything with widefopen eyes, you probably wondered who provided the super service at P. H. S. Now, if everything has gone well, you are an understanding senior who knows that it is Miss Lola Hoif's elite usher squad that shows you to your seat with an indifferent stare. It didn't take you long to discover that the fellow always fooling with the mike is probably Bob for could it be Don?j Jarrett, a member of Mr. Eric P. Nelson's Stage Electricians Squad. In the beginning you envied the many classes he might, with impunity, cut and the parties and dances he could attend free of charge. What a thrill to play around with the new switchboard, tool But you soon learned of all the blownfout fuses and high voltage wires he had to contend with, and you changed your mind. Now you know that it's Mr. Caryl C. Dunaf Van and his Projection Club who have the head' aches every time the fuse in the projector blows out. These boys meet to learn how to run varif ous projectors for the Visual Aid Program, They are always on call to go to any school in Plain' field to give this service, Because of your later experiences, you know that it is the Library Council, with Jo Ann Compolattano as president, that manages that bookworm's paradise so well and wrests from you your hard earned money in fines under the eagle eyes of Miss Josephine Miller and Miss Catherine Moraller.

Mr. George Carthwaite keeps these mathematicians on mental tipftoe with intricate problems and a challenging program. No simple x + y stuff for them! According to Duke Rounds, they're on the way to becoming all of the Quiz Kids wrapped up in one, especially his aide, Phil Nagengast, There are some plans for future careers of engineers and the like being mapped out here, too, for the club has made investigations of, and field trips to, various inf stitutions specializing in branches of mathematif cal work.

This group works together in preparing models and exhibits for use in biology classes.

We've won the war. Yes, P. H. S. had a hand in it, too. Why do you think we bought the stamps that bought the tanks, the trainer planes, the jeeps, the ambulances and caused the Minute Man to fly above our school? Now peace is here again-1-and Plainfield High wants a hand in keeping it here permanently. We understand that's to be accomplished only through loyal support of our own national organization and through a strong international understanding. So Margaret Gee urges us to buy stamps and bonds eyery Tuesday when the Stamp and Bond Comf mittee, sponsored by Miss Adria Galbraith, Miss Gertrude Moodey, and Miss Olga Achtenhagen, make their roomftofroom canvas.

Coach Abe Smiths boys compiled 206 points to their opponents' 76, which surpasses all of the Cards' former scores. Sparked by Lavish, Fleischmann, Hubbard and Tierney, the team showed early prowess and later proved it. Seniors Tomaso, Kastel, Rothfuss, DiDario, Gibson and Hammond conf tributed strong support. Using the effective T formation chiefly, Coach Smith perfected eflicient teamwork, the handling of the ball pretty well distributed among the backs. Coach Joe Barile aided Mr. Smith with the drilling of the gridders. The Cards' first game was snatched from a strong Carteret team, 27f6. joe Lavish starred, making two touchdowns. The team displayed power, taking the pigskin over the goal the first time it was in their hands. In a steady down' pour, the Cards trounced Columbia 18f6. After Plainfield's touchdown on the opening play, the rest of the game appeared to be a kicking match. P.H.S. not only showed ability on wet grounds, but also won for the Hrst time over Columbia since 1930. Playing their second game away from home, the Red and Blue eleven triumphed over Bound Brook, 45f7. This game offered opportunity for the entire team to play. Then a slump hit the Cards at the Somerf ville game, but they managed to post a victory at the score of 19f6. That fourth triumph was not very impressive, it proved to be a foref warning, for the next Saturday Plainfield lost to a powerful Thomas jefferson eleven, 25f0. The Cards were completely outplayed in the game but never gave up. The opponents seemed to know every play that john Tierney called, for Plainfield gained only twenty-five yards on the ground. Returning to the brighter side of the score, the Cards defeated the oldftime rival across the brook to the tune of 33f7. The Red and Blue team had pepped up unbelievably and was alert and quickfwitted. Rahway became number seven on the hit score when Plainfield scored 32 points to their THE VARSITY SQUAD Back Row: S.

The final score was 12f6, the Blue Devils scoring in the first and last quarters.

Mr. Arthur Smith, assisted by Mr. Hank Zastrow, coached a team to be proud of. The jayvees took on Columbia as a starterg and, after trailing the first half, they won 14f7 on a pass from George England, The Bound Brook game was a little different. All of the Red and Blue points were gained in the first half, after which the Jayvees held their oppof nents tightly, 26f6. Cranford, pinchfhitting for Linden, was snowed under, 27fO, the Cards run' ning up the points in the Hrst three periods. Plainfield's only setback of the season was to Westield, 13f9. This broke the thirteenfgame winning streak of the Jayvees. In the second quarter the Red and Blue started the scoring with several quick plays, ending in a touchdown. Westfield scored a touchdown almost immedif ately and later drove over again for the final touchdown. With two minutes to go, Buccel- lato placed a safety for the last score. Plainfield then came back to down the Ref gional eleven, 1997. In the last game the Little Cards tackled Somerville easily, with 18f6 chalked up. As their record demonstrated, the Jayvee team was a combination of tricky, hardfhitting backs and a good dependable line. 48 W J. V. BASKETBALL TEAM Back Row: Coach joe Barile, E. Brown, W.

Although the record of five wins and twelve losses appears onefsided, the Little Cards were a constant threat to their opponents. With Don Kennedy, John Arthur, and Bill Flannagan back' ing the team, they played good basketball, for seven of the losses were by a sixfpoint margin or even less. The first four games were alternately won and lost, but Linden set Plainheld back with a 41-25 score, and Hillside followed this defeat with a Where's that broad grin, Coach Barile? IHE J. V.

After starting off by trampling Westfield by 15 points, the Cardinals lost to Dunellen's Iron Man five to the tune of 42f28. Next the Red and Blue topped Bound Brook 34f22, but the Cards' triumph was shortflived when they dis' covered that Regionals Belliveau boys had swished too many, the score ending 3561. A comeback lasted four games, as the P.H.S. cagers defeated Linden, Hillside, Cranford, and Rahway. Art Terry, Anderson, and Ted Zief mienski played fine defense and floor games. Travelling to Regional, the Cardinals were trimmed again 4666, Charley Bicknell putting in 12 points. At Bound Brook Tierney led with 19 points as Plainneld sank B.B. 48f44. Even though the rivals had improved somewhat, Plainfield had improved more, as Art Terry's floor work indicated. Rahway fell again at their home court, even though they used an effective Zone defense. The Red and Blue's set shots mounted, the score amplified by Booker Anderson's onefhanders. 50 Cranford High then became the victim of the third game in the Card's winning streak, as Bicknell and Tierney led the scoring. After a rest, the team crossed the brook to North Plainfield, where a recordfbreaking crowd watched the Cards defeat the Canucks, 3269. The game was close all the way, even to the last minute when Tumolo and Tierney each put in a set shot. This stopped the Canuck's eight- game winning streak and added one to make the nfth game in Plainfields victories. Dunellen's Jive Five, however, settled the P.H.S. hash with a 41f25 drubbing. Their marvelous defense held the Red and Blue down to only a few points in each quarter. In the next game Plainfield topped Westield again, 37f3O. The County Tourneys found the Cards blast' ing Cranford 5161, Tierney leading with 20 points and Ziemienski following with 12, but Roselle Park downed Plainfield's hope of vicf tory by 43-29. The deciding game of the city championship was taken by North Plainfield, 3608, at the Rahway court. The Canucks big thirdfquarter, plus some sloppy playing on the Cards' part, cost Plainfield the game and the title.

John Enander, twofyear veteran, led a group of returnees including Bob Teitsworth, Howard Reynolds, Don Martino, and Charles Mobus. The boys were coached by William Sette, who returned from service after an absence of two and a half years. He replaced Art Smith, who had done a splendid job as substitute coach. The tennis schedule was evenly divided be' tween home and away games.

Coach Harold Bruf guiere's 1945 team ran off with the State Cham- pionship, Jack Moody taking first in the high jump and high hurdles, Jack Pringley first in the half mile, Booker Anderson lirst in low hurdles, and Craig Kuentz first in the shot put. Moody, state champion in the high jump, had broken all his records by clearing six feet five inches. That spectacular team gave this year's track' men something worthwhile to try to beat. Jack Pringley, now a sophomore, had a record to try to surpass, as did Anderson. Moody and Anderf son took third places in last year's state meet, Moody in the running broad jump and Anderf son in the 100fyard dash, Haywood Alexander and Oliver Hubbard each took fifth place in the 22Ofyard dash and the javelin throw, ref spectively.

THE MEETING WILL COME TO ORDER The Executive Board of the Girls' Athletic Association consists of President Helen Walulik, Secretary Mabel Hunter, Treasurer Barbara Kennedy, and representatives from each of the four classes: Ruth Audet, Olga Melnick, Edith Silbert, and Tessie Rygiel. The board meets at 8 A. M. in Miss Marion Snyder's office to dis' cuss the problems that come up in the course of the year. Any girl who goes out for at least one sport a year is a member of the G. A. A. and may present problems or ideas to the board for con- sideration. In this way every girl has a say in how the organization is run. The last project of the G. A. A. was to change the award system. Now more of the girls may be eligible for numerals or for letters. Working to arouse greater interest in girls sports and to gain more publicity, the G. A. A. give freely of their time and effort and are real leaders of their group. ATTENTION! RIGHT FACE! During Tuesday Assembly Period you will find an active group of girls learning new games, dances, and exercises to teach their gym classes. These are the Girl Leaders, supervised by Miss Marion Snyder. These are chosen for their ath- letic ability, personality, and leadership. In addition to helping the teachers, they are al' ways prepared to take over a gym class at a moment's notice. After one year of teaching, the girls are eligible for a blue felt L with a red border, and the ten best leaders are awarded Leader's pins. Mabeth Hires is the Head Leader this year. NET BALL On the bright, sunny days of the spring and fall, Miss Marion Snyder teaches the girls how to play and score a good, fast game of ten' nis. Class tournaments are held in the spring with all of the girls competing. Every other year the singles are held. Tennis is a popular sport, for it develops the girls' agility and speed both in acting and thinking. The senior enthusiasts are Dorothy Mew, Doris Keiley and Shirley Mason, who really keep the lower classmen moving. G. A. A. Left to Right: M. Hunter, O. Melnik, H. Walulik, president, B. Kennedy, E.

Herbert Otani became our president, assisted by Jim Ring, A. L. Register, and Caryl johnson. The year before, in 1941, the United States had been plunged into a second World War, and our class, with sophomores and upperclasses, was helping all it could, collecting scrap paper and metal, joining the Victory Corps, and buying stamps to the limit. As a butterfly emerges from a cocoon, we strutted into sophomore' hood. Gerry Stevens presided, supported by a big bruiser, better known as Pee Wee Allen. Jo Anne Norman held the quill and ink, while Jim Ring's pocket bulged with the bank book. We threw a big party that year, the Soph Hop. Was that fun! Remember the date you had? Mmmmml So what if she was bowflegged and lisped? You can't expect everything, but I'd rather be a pebble on the beach thanfdancef' commented Bob Bell. His date replied, I know, Bob, then you could be a little boulder. As we prepared to leave for vacation, Dick Matzen was elected president of the New Jersey International Relations Forum in Montclair. 1944-and we were upper classmen at last, casting off our bibs! There were big doings for the juniors. Ed Lieb and Jo Anne Norman stepped forward in the title roles of Growing Pains. The cast was filled by others intent on giving only the best: Bob Dunham, Bill Gifford, Dick Manzelman, Jan Folk, Dorothy Joan Fort, Adele Wolfson, Dick Matzen, Harris Aron, Mary Kay Schlichting, Anne McDonough, June Marion, Vivian Beekman, Dorothy Donnelly, Ruth Audet, Marjorie Shallow, Ted Fort, Gladys Fox, Pete Smith, and Jean Wilson. Ted Fort brought a blue ribbon not only to the class and himself, but to the school, when he was elected president of the New Jersey Associaf tion of Student Councils. He had executive honors, for he was also president of the 1946 class. Lou Caldera, Margaret Gee, and Sam Heron assisted him. The JuniorfSenior Prom, with its theme of Central Park, went over well that spring. It was just about this time that Germany had fallen, and complete victory and peace were near. This new calm wasn't to last long at the Randolph Road Field, though, because some juniors on the baseball team were raising havoc with our opponents. Charlie Bicknell, John Hayden and Herman Kaminsky starred on the diamond. That summer many of us were working at Madison Beach, Mohonk Lake, and other resorts. P.H.S. students flocked to the Jersey Coast to bask in the sun, while others worked in war plants in the Plainfield lil THE TUMIIZ AGE area, making the articles necessary for the victory in the Far East. In August crashed the first Atomic Bomb. A new age had been ushered in, accompanied by unconditional surrender from the Japanese! Soon the autumn leaves were falling under a warm September sun in College Park-soon smoke was again rising from the bushes-soon Dean Smith was extending vacations Our last year at P.H.S. had begun, Len Zega, president, Pete Smith, vicefpresidentg Midge Shallow, treasurerg June Marion, secretary, these were our senior officers. The class of '46 also gave the school three Council officers: Jim Ring, presif dent, Dick Matzen, vicefpresident, and Cornelia Fisher, secretary. A wonderful football team! became our customary Saturday boast. Piled high with the bodies of Plainield rOOtErS yelling praises and phrases enough for all the town to hear, Ted F0rt's steamfboiler of a car traveled every week to some enemy's lair. John Tierney, Oliver Hubbard, Joe Lavish, Angelo Tomaso, Jack Kastel and Luther Ham' mond were deserving those cheers, for they posted seven out of nine ilictories for the season. Later on, the basketball team proved to be no slouch, either. Charlie Bicknell, John Tierney, Oliver Hubbard and John Hayden all were score raisers. Down in the pool, Seniors Whitey Thompson, Bob Pelletier and Dick Thickstun practiced for another record season. Some spent New Year's Eve at the HifY Party, others at private gatherings, but wherever we were when Auld Lang Syne was played at 12:00, all thought of the friends we should be separated from at the close of the school year. We realized that no other place in the world could offer us the fun, excitement, kindness, and complete education that our dear old Jail had rendered. In January there were swimming meetsg and before we knew it, April twelfth and the Senior Supper were here. At last the Hall of Fame was made public. Who were the seniors in the spotlight? just turn to pages 90 and 91, there they are! Do you recall the night of the Senior Prom? Low lights, soft music, and contentment in the auditorium, while outside the spring breezes carried the fragrance of new life. White coats and evening dresses set the style. Can't you picture the corsage you sent her? Can't you picture her? Graduation found us sophisticated in cap and gown. Plainfield, we revere thee, we honor thy name . . . We can never repay our teachers and school for all they have given us, except by each striving for honor in whatever we do. Not only for ourselves must we succeed, but also for the people who fostered our education. We will be good citizens of an enlarged and, we hope, a united and better world.
