LELAND ELLIOTT WINKLER Died November 13, 1946 In Memoriam Di aaa High School has been sadde ned by the loss of two of the members of its staff who had served the school and community for many years. 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
