FAR ABUVE THE CROWD... 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!
