RICHARD MARCUS ROSLYN MIDDLEMAN PLAINFIELD IS A SCHOOL—AND A CITY! S PEEDING across the ice in Cedar Brook Park on a clear, crisp, moonlight night in winter; enjoying a Saturday night movie at the Strand with our best girl, and then a coke at the Hill; browsing through the latest mystery novels at the Public Library; inspecting voting procedures with the PAD class at the City Hall; waiting anxiously to discover whether Mr. Sierge could get us that much-wanted job at a Front Street store or the postoffice— where else could we have such wholesome fun and interesting experiences as in Plainfield, the Queen City? They are made possible by the cooperation between the school and community—by the interest each has in young people, Our school and city are interdependent. Plainfield High relies on the community for financial, moral, and spiritual support; the city depends on the high school to train its young people, to develop their personalities and characters so that they become intelligent citizens capable of assuming responsibility and improving their community.

TO JOSEPH BARILE—teacher, coach, and friend—who, through his pleasing personality, self-sacrificing team- g work, and never-failing humor, has shown us a bright and useful way of life, we, the class of 1947, sincerely dedi- cate our Milestone. Joe Barile has been a loyal native of Bound Brook, New Jersey, since 1916. He brought Bound Brook High School glory on the track, basketball, and soccer teams. At Rutgers University Mr. Barile played halfback on the varsity football team. He also played lacrosse and first-string basketball. Having maintained a high aca- demic standard, as well as starring in athletics, Mr. Barile was elected to Cap and Skull Senior Honorary Society. For four years after receiving his B.S. degree in 1938, he taught and coached at Keyport High School in New Jersey. The war interrupted the classroom work. Be- coming a corporal during his fourteen months in the Army, he remained at Fort Eustis, Virginia, to help instruct the new recruits in basic and anti-aircraft training. While at Keyport, Mr. Bartile had married Vivian Young, a graduate nurse; and now they have an amiable one-year old, Tommy. An assignment to teach physi- cal education in the grades brought Joe Barile to Plainfield, and in the fall of 1944 he came to P. H. S. He is now teaching history and coaching. We shall never forget Joe Barile for his helpful attitude, good nature, and friendly smile. ‘Joe holds the bag. Personality Plus! A U M I N I 5 T i A T I i N of student government in P. H.

Leland E. Winkler was a member of the math- ematics department for eighteen years. In ad- dition to classroom activities, he had coached foot- ball and basketball and officiated at P. H. S. games, becoming highly respected for his honesty, courage, and fine sportsmanship. As a teacher he was devoted to his profession, giving generously of his abilities and unobtrusively contributing to the strength of the faculty. For forty years George A. Broadbent served faithfully as custodian at Plainfield High School. To our generation he was a veritable storehouse of information on school history, one whom we all respected and loved. Thoughtful, kind, and con- siderate, he was a true friend to his fellow work- ers, to the teachers, and the student body. We revere the memory of these men who gave generously of themselves for the Youth of Plain- field. GEORGE A. BROADBENT Died July 10, 1946 WALDRO J. KINDIG Principal Plainfield High School ARTHUR F. HOPPER Superintendent of Schools Bene the arduous daily tasks which keep the school running smoothly is the Administration. Mr. Hopper and Mr. Kindig give generously of themselves in supporting activities in school and community. Mr. Hubbard meets every senior as he checks graduation qualifications. From Freshman Day to Commencement we seek the advice of the Deans. Without the untiring efforts of these officials, our treasured memories of high school life would never be possible. vice-Principal Henry Hubbard is always busy— be it frogs, fire drills, or senior credits. Deans Lola Hoff and George Smith can take time out for a laugh. Students of French 3 see the world from the classroom. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Standing: E. Stubbs, |. Fries, A. Hauck, R. Carr, E. Horn, C. Whitford. Seated: L. Bissell, W. Held, head; E. Henderson, head. HE Language Department , headed by Mr. Warren H. Held and Mrs. Eleanor Henderson, teaches students of French, Span- ish, Latin, and German the practical grammar and the customs and national characteristics of the people of those lands. As the nations strive for peace, what is more vital than understanding our world neighbors that we may live in harmony together? Under the supervision of Miss Olga Achtenhagen, the English department staff guides the student to an appreciation of literature and helps him to increase his vocabulary. It teaches him to express his thoughts with clarity and efficiency. With the aid of the English staff he becomes a well-spoken person of whom the com- munity may be proud.

The general mathematics courses stress problems met in everyday living—purchas- ing, selling, banking, and insurance. College math- ematics classes are taught elementary and ad- vanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. Mr. George W. Garthwaite, de- partment head, holds classes in advanced math- ematics for students wit h exceptional ability.

Such questions arise in Science Department class- es, where students study living organisms, visible and microscopic; learn the composition of matter; and are taught the changes undergone by energy and matter. By the use of models and experiments, the Science Department gives P. H. S. pupils a general background in several branches of science. for this geometry class. S. A. S. = S. A. S.

USINESS men of tomorrow and their secre- taries train under the tutelage of Commercial Department instructors, directed by Acting Head Carl Persinger. After-school jobs offer students opportunities to put into practice typing and shorthand skills developed in the classroom, and to demonstrate their familiarity with business ma- chines. After graduation, commercial students will be found in offices on Park Avenue or Front Street, or perhaps they'll join the Commuters’ Club to New York.

Miss Helen Bond heads a group of teachers who believe in practical consid- eration of the problems of society and govern- ment. Remember the trip to historic shrines in Philadelphia?

Students of the Art Department have designed and painted in the library corridor this year a large mural depicting year to present the gala Spring Festival. Besides assisting in the Festival and at theatricals, the or- chestra presents several entertaining performances in the assemblies. So you see, in P. H. S. there's Music for Everyone! activities of P. H. S. students. This project was undertaken in addition to varied art courses. In the mural are pictured future homemakers who are taught the fundamentals of good housekeep- ing in the Home Economics Department. Music hath charms to soothe the not-so- savage beasts.

Besides developing strength, agility, coordination, and sportsmanship, the de- partment stresses the importance of games and sports for recreation and friendship. Through the health and hygiene courses students learn first aid, safety and traffic rules, fundamentals of auto- mobile operation, and standards of personal and public health. By training individuals in both mind 4 boys getting a workout in gym. and body, the Physical Education Department helps young people to serve their community. Puzzled about whether to take Spanish or French? What college to select? How to get a job? See the counsellors. To help students plan for the future by guiding them in academic and vocational choices is the job of the counselling staff. P. H. S. has long had a guidance program known through- out the country for its excellence. The counsellors are the most sought after’ people in the school. COUNSELLORS Standing: H. Banta, E. Henderson, J. Boyer. Seated: N. Hastings. Carcass of beef? No, three P. H. S. The sergeants-at-arms in the library are Miss Catherine Moraller and Miss Jo- sephine Miller. ENERAL business affairs, including direct con- tact with the community, fall into the hands of the able staff of the front office—Mrs. Alice Denton and Miss Phyllis Briggs. Telephone calls, mail, and complaints are answered here. In ong little section, off to the right, is Miss Adria Gal- braith's workshop, where test results emerge rapidly and files of student history are kept up-to-date. Next door is housed the counsellors’ office. For appointments, see Miss Nancy Chase, their sec- retary. Letters of recommendation go out of the Placement Office as Mr. Sierge dictates to Mrs. O'Neill. Miss Reich types the DAILY BULLETIN. B. O'Neill, J. Sierge S. Bodenheimer, R. Igea awaits further orders from the at- tendance office commandants, and Miss Bodenheimer. The quiet nook of P. H. S. is the library. If it's permission to take an excursion or an opera ticket you want, see Miss Caroline Reich. To insert news into the bulletin, see Miss Reich. To meet Mr. Kindig's secretary, that is Miss Reich! The placement counsellor helps one to find a job in the community. Selecting is your job; and ap- proving, or perhaps both, is Mr. John Sierge's.

It's the last time we shall worry and fret over exams, though; for the next year we are exempt from the awtul things. What a year! We froze in 110 and roasted in gym. We've gulped our food in too-short lunch periods and day-dreamed in too-long study halls. We've been happy, however, as ‘lower upper’ classmen. We'll be happier next year as ‘'upper Upper classmeh. The long-awaited senior year is almost within our grasp. We juniors deserve some credit for our efforts in executing a well-rounded year. With the help of the class executive committee, Ronald Williams, president of the class of 48, worked arduously planning social affairs and raising money for the class. If you remember the football games of '46, you must recall the sharp foot- ball feathers sold by the juniors. It proved to be a profitable year, for the class treasury expanded. The funds will subsidize our class parties, the yearbook, and the gift to the school. The class play, The Fighting Littles, and the Junior Dance were both successes. The class also did its share in putting over the Junior-Senior Prom. These were the main extracurricular activities sponsored by the class of '48. We juniors also took an active part in Student Council, our two representatives from each homeroom leading many a discussion and serving as chairmen of com- mittees. In clubs and assemblies, the juniors were right there, putting forth their ideas and carrying their duties out to the best of their ability, As far as the academic work was concerned, we made a good showing in the Principal's List and the Dean's List despite those third-period struggles with chemistry problems. All in all, the juniors had a successful year and heaps of fun. We look toward ‘48 with anticipation. ss HOMEROOMS 12! AND 240 E. Abel, R. Albers, A. Albert, F. Albright, B. Alexander, F.

IM lights, soft music, excellent food, and what do we have? Why, the junior class dance, of course! For the juniors it was the third and most successful social affair since they became citizens of P. H. S. Besides sponsoring the Junior Dance, the third-year class gave their ‘‘all ’ in helping to stage the social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. The memorable night of May twenty-third found attractive girls, wearing corsages made from the first spring flowers, and handsome boys, clad in their fathers’ tuxedos, gliding smoothly across the floor to soft music.

Miss Virginia Mixer's first dramatic production, the junior class play, entitled The Fighting Littles.” Written by Booth Tarkington, the comedy portrays the life of an average American family. Goody Little, dramatized by Jeanne Van Eps, was knee-deep in love troubles with Ham Ellers, portrayed by Ted Cadou. Her little brother, Filmer, played by John Harvey, made life far from beautiful for the belligerent Littles, whose verbal bat- tles, keynoted by Dick Albers as Father Little, gave meaning to the title.

The sopho- mores proved this fact the night of December 6 when they presented the Sophomoron Dunce Dance, featuring the music of Bill Sayre's or- chestra. Freshmen, some of whom were attending their first big dance, amused themselves by pulling dunce caps off the wall. Juniors and seniors, on ne Lorre SUPH HOP! the other hand, amused themselves by taking a little interest in their dates. They didn't seem to find that hard to do. The high point of the eve- ning occurred when everyone donned his dunce cap and formed a conga line. Realizing that they were sponsoring a big affair, the sophomores were there in full force, furnishing a gala event in true P. H. S. style. Yes, sir! They showed the upper- classmen what a real dance was like. HOMEROOM 350 W. Schultz, ©. Schumann, J. Shea, P. Sherman, F. Sill, J. Silvius, J. Simmons, Sloan, D. Slonim, L.

HE first week of school was an eventful one for the freshmen. Identified by their height, frosh were observed running up ‘'down ’ stairways and looking vainly for the elevators. They got off to a good start, however, by taking active part in Stu- dent Council, Library Council, assemblies, and choirs. During October, many of these newcomers paraded about the halls in all kinds of ''get-ups, initiates of Hi-Y, Hi-Tri, and Leaders. ELECTRIC SHOP HOMEROOM A. Apisa, R. Artis, G. Bassoff, E. Baxter, D.

For their first big date on the social calendar, the small fry sponsored a Fresh man party. This gala event, held on March 29, furnished plenty of fun for the frosh only. All other classes were excluded. The entertainment for the party was supplied by talented members from the first-year class. HOMEROOM 60 D. Arazamena, L. Borer, D. Bracht, H. Brown, G, Clark, R.

Student Council renders the school innumerable services.’ With representatives from every homeroom in the building, the Council makes a study of each school prob- lem and attempts democratically to solve the difficulty. It has a finger in almost everything, either sponsoring activities or giving its all-out support. Remember that huge success, the Fall Mixer? Compare our Council with the United Nations Organization. The Big Four are the advisers, Mr. Warren H. Held, Miss Lola Hoff, Mr. George Smith, and Mr. Waldro J. Kindig. They have the power of veto, but they use it sparingly and wisely, turning thumbs down on only the wildest ot students’ whims and fancies. We did get the centralized cheering section, didn't we? Yes, and the Pep Rally, too. Swing your partners ‘round and ‘round! It was the Council that supported the P.T.A. Square Dance. Did you go? Practically the whole school was there. Sending the S.A.T. drive over the top, working on that never-solved cafetecia problem, back- ing the seniors in their courtesy campaign, giving us all a chance to express our grievances and suggestions: these are just a tew of the activities that keep a Stu- dent Council busy.

Strike up the band!''—and our group of Red and Blue music-makers march out onta the field. Under the magic baton of Mr. Clarence Andrews, the sixty-some versatile. members of the band go through their repertoire— which ranges from Sousa's marches to Begin the Beguine. More musical entertainment echoes forth from the P. H. S. Or- chestra, ably directed by Mr. A. D. Brown. Though composed of only forty students, it offers all the beauty of tone and quality that could be demanded of a larger, more expe- rienced group. P. H. S. gained recognition by having four members—Dorothy Beal, Helen Cramer, Rose Miller, and Don Martino—chosen to play with the New Jersey All-State Orchestra. SENIOR SCENES AND SALLIES ee would-be Thespians of the upper classes carry on P.H.S.'s dramatic traditions, produc- ing the Christmas and Easter programs, special assemblies, and contributing talent for many school activities. During the year the members also work on the class plays, arrange their own skits and en- tertainments in small groups, learn monologues, discuss drama and enter into oratory contests. Peter Borden leads the two groups, with Nancy Archibald or Sam Shapiro taking over in his ab- sence. Ruth Beebe records the activities of both groups, while Claude Seguin wages the Battle of the Budget. Miss Virginia Mixer advances the skill of the members in the technique of successful act- ing. This is a club of active members whose efforts are appreciated by P.H.S. audiences, Anyone with even a smitch of a sense of humor enjoyed himself at ‘Charm School the annual senior class amatic production. The '47 thespians were directed by Miss Virginia Mixer to a highly successtul presentation of lively comedy. Sam Shapiro, as a young automobile sales- man with definite ideas concerning the education of girls, found himself suddenly heir to an all-girls' boarding school. Alvin Wild, Andre Jacobsen, and “Bruce Dickerson helped him (willingly, too) in his task of educating in charm Ginny Lewis, Nancy Archibald, Edythe Simon, Linda Baker, Barbara Brundige, Claude Seguin, Miriam Daiber, and Nancy Demarest. Martin Gerber, Marjorie Thompson, and Ruth Carter completed the cast to make the sparkling comedy by Alice Duer and Robert Milton a real success, even to the satisfactory 'clinch in .the end—a la Shapiro and Lewis.

Having elected Mary Ellen Shal- low president and Lois Jeffrey vice president, they are divided into several committees. Nora Fitz- patrick makes written reports, while June Albrecht juggles the finances. Concentrated at first on par- liamentary procedure and club management, the programs have expanded to lessons on diction, voice control, and stage technique. Seniors dem- onstrate the art of making up to character. Mr. Eric Nelson clarifies the basic controls and princi- ples of stage lighting as he explains the switch- board controls backstage. Programs for the meet- ings, organized by the members, include a discus- sion of current plays. The great moment of the year arrived when the Freshman Play—this year Mrs, O'Leary's Cow—received the plaudits of the Assembly. JUNIOR PLAY W. Margolies, J. Van Eps, P. Groff, T. Cadou, J. Harvey.

Carteret Columbia Bound Long Branch Somerville Thomas Jefferson North Plainfield Westfield Blocking does itl After school workout at the field. OVER THE GOAL N one of the most successful seasons in the of Plainfield High, the Cardinals launched their campaign with a smashing victory over a highly-rated Carteret team, and closed the season with a brilliant triumph over a strong West- field combine. Led by All-Staters Jeff Fleischmann and Al Tumolo, the team earned the rating of eleventh best in the state. With the 'T' forma- tion as his weapon, Coach Abe Smith put Plain- field High back on the map as a football strong- history hold. Although the backfield, consisting of Fleisch- mann, Di Dario, Rivellini, England, and Snyder, performed excellent football, the linemen, who opened vital holes and held the opposition to a mere total of 38, points in) pine_games, cannot be overlooked, Composed of Santy, D'Angelo, Tu- molo, Frank), Caulfield’” Guender, McDonough, Cary, Cobgrove, Cowell, ‘and Arthur, the line de- serve Yells the praise and glory that they rightly wees Dutes Rever received, VARSITY TEAM v Back Row: H.

Picture courtesy Coronet Studio with THEVAHSITY SQUAD After trouncing Carteret, 26-6, the Cards found Columbia hard to handle. The Red Birds outplayed the Columbians all the way but lacked that needed scoring punch, losing 7-0. Bouncing back with a 19-0 triumph over Bound Brook be- neath the night lights, the Cards once again dis- played their power. The Smithmen then gained momentum in defeating Long Branch, Somerville, and Thomas Jefferson by the wide margins of 32-7, 34-6, and 27-6, respectively. They were held, however, to a half 6-6 deadlock by North Plain- field; but the Canucks finally succumbed to an overwhelming Cardinal attack in the second half, 26-6. The Queen City team found easy going in slashing Rahway, 45-0, in preparation for their final Turkey Day encounter with Westfield. Hold- ing a Westfield march on the two-yard line, the Cardinals defeated the Blueboys, 6-0. STAHS, IN THE MAKING WOE JUNIOR VARSITY A , Des Back Row: R. O'Neil, W. Harkness, W. Gabruk, N.

Stung by a 12-6 defeat at the hands of a snappy Carteret squad, the little Cards proved their potency by licking Columbia, 14-0.

FOOTBALL ing successively Bound Brook, Union, and Somer- ville, 32-0, 27-0, and 25-0, respectively. Hard luck then hit the club when Regional registered a 13-12 win over the Cards. Because of a penalty, the Little Birds had a deciding touchdown called back. In a close contest the following week the Jayvees conquered their formidable opponent, the Little Canucks, 12-6. SINK THAT POINT! . BAShHETBALL Peete handicapped by the graduation of John Tierney, last year's All-State courtman, Coach Bill Brann found encouragement in the return of four starters from the team of ‘46. Booker Anderson, Art Terry, Al Tumulo, and Ted Zieminski played topgrade ball last year, but were up against tough opposition for first-string berths, the newcomers consisting of Jeff Fleischmann, ''Simp’’ Reilley, and Julian Ciotta. Fleischmann and Ciotta gave Coach Brann some needed height with which to work. Finding many mistakes in the team's floor-work in the first games with Columbia and Dunellen, Coach Brann de- veloped a more smoothly running combine by the third game. With the snappy ball handling of Art Terry, long sets of Al Tumulo, side shots of Booker Anderson, and the backboard play of Jeff Fleischmann, Ted Zieminski, and Julian Ciotta, the Cardinals gradually shaped into a color- ful quintet, providing many thrills and tense moments. The season in general was both a hot and a cold one. At times the Redbirds operated like a charm, defeating the best teams in this sector; but on occasion Plainfield just couldn't find the hoop. Our perennial rivals from across the creek kept possession of the city title for the third suc- cessive year by defeating the Cards in two lopsided games. Although Plainfield did not star in the scoring column, the team won the enthusiastic support of the student body, for the S. R. O. sign was up at every home game. BASKETBALL Back Row: Mr. W.

WiME Nin seonts NE of the most successful girls’ sports pro- grams in Plaintield High School was con- ducted during the 1946-47 season. The tennis courts were crowded to capacity. At the same time many girls were out for archery. During the fall and spring, archery tourna- ments were played under the direction of Mrs. Ruth King. The class tournament in the fall was won by the sophomore class under the captaincy of Harriet Mundy. The seniors placed second, led by Janet Schott. Field hockey is undertaken chiefly by the mem- bers of the upper classes, and is under the super- vision of Miss Marion Newson. A small group of older girls came out faithfully for hockey every week, and, as a small team, they were able to play some good, fast games. Because of renovations to the pool, swimming got under way rather late for 1947 teams. During the previous year, however, the pool was filled to overflowing with P.H.S. mermaids. The intramural swimming meet was won by the juniors in 1946, with Helen Cramer as captain. Miss Marion New- son acts as swimming coach. The trophy for the tennis tournament was snared by Barbara Parcell in 1946. The turnout for tennis has been very good in spring and fall, with more beginners than veterans. Miss Marion Snyder coaches tennis and is also faculty adviser of the G.A.A. Thanks to G.A.A., the intramural program has functioned smoothly. GIRLS’ LEADERS CLUB Back Row: A. Morris, P. Ruddy, R.

Open to juniors and seniors, it is supervised by Mrs. Ruth King. In '46 the juniors, captained by Pat Peale, won the class tournament. Barbara Teeter and Virginia Lewis received medals for doubles championship. There were large teams made up of all four classes out for softball. Games were held every Tuesday and Thursday, with Miss Newson as umpire. Classes were matched together in turn and, at the end of the year, the class of '47 came out on top. These juniors were a smaller team than the others and were ably captained by Alice Bell. Spring, 1946, found the junior class collecting the honors for basketball. This sport has had large turnouts lately, so the teams must ‘take turns on the one court. Di- rected by Miss Snyder and Captain Helen Walulik, the junior girls won easily. All girls’ athletics seem to be rising in popularity. TENNIS | B. Galuzzo, J. Cucenilli, ©. Hutchison, A. Hiltz, J. Schott, | B. Schott, J. Wilson, J. Graeser, T. Aschenbach. First Row: N. Saunders.
