ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO one of the first systems of free public edu- cation in our state was organized in Plain- field. Rich and poor students alike have been served since that time. Since !848's original class of 167, enrollment has pro- gressed far into the thousands. The years have encouraged quality as well as quan- tity, however. Today the citizens of Plain- field can proudly claim an educational sys- tem which is virtually unsurpassed. The first class to graduate from the Still- man school, then the seat of secondary education, was in 1870, and consisted of 8 members. This year nearly 400 red and blue clad students will receive diplomas in rec- ognition of four years of hard and produc- tive work, The widely diversified curricula now avail- able to high school students is a far cry from the meager ones the class of 1870 had to choose from. Educational facilities have changed with the times. Today there is no conceivable field of endeavor for which Plainfield High School does not offer sound basic training. Our school's achievements have not only been in matters academic. Several tro- phies from our well filled showcase bear dates of the last century, proof that extra- curricula activities have always been a vital part of our school life. Yearbooks have also kept pace with and improved with shifting sands of time. The latest effort in this respect is, obviously, our presentation of THE 1948 MILESTONE MILESTONE PUB eal Sane: Dee bey. trey SEN IE@O Ro CEAS:S. ©.F Pee ve aN tele. EDemede| Osea. S aClHs © O. LE PLAINFIELD NEW JERSEY In this 1948 issue of the Milestone, we com- memorate the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Plainfield's system of public education. A century has seen the educational facilities of our city germinate from a minute seed, watered by endless hope and little capital, into the solid, widely diversified in- stitution which trains our youth today. The citizens of Plainfield may well be proud of the fact that their high school is one of the best equipped and highly rated in the state. This enviable achievement, whose birth we mark this year, is the direct result of untiring effort by many men and women of foresight. We humbly thank them, grateful for their work, of which we now reap the fruit. The en- tire project, however, was conceived and given its initial impetus by one man. His portrait may be seen, hanging in a place of honor, by all who enter Plainfield High School; he was Dr. Charles H. Stillman. The difficulties encountered by Dr. Stillman and his associates in organizing such a revo- lutionary enterprise as free public education in a rather conservative town may better be imagined than described. In praise of their labors we can do no better than point to edu- cation in Plainfield today—it speaks well for the men who gave it its firm foundation. During the years since its genesis, the names of two men have stood out as contributing materially to the institution started by Dr. Stillman. Both were superintendents of the city's schools; both were beloved by faculty and students alike.

It was while he held office that the new high school building replaced the old Stillman School. Several new grammar schools were constructed to accommodate the grow- ing body of young people who sought enlight- ment. The first public school swimming pool in the state was installed in the new high school under Mr. Maxon. The second man was one whom most of us students remember and revere, Frederic Cook. Superintendent of Schools until 1944, he saw the extension of the high school building, with the addition of such improvements as the gym and shops. In his memory stands the Cook Memorial Library, a collection of books on American history in which he was interested. The Class of '48 is honored to be able to commemorate in this yearbook the one hun- dred years of free public education in Plain- field—truly a ''Century of Progress. ON was: Netém bey 1904 TWO IN THE To you, A. HAMILTON OTTO, who wear the smile that has won-its place in our hearts; whose friendship, understanding, and inspiration have guided us onward; who are a true friend, aide and teacher; in deepest appreciation and gratitude, we, the class of 1948, sincerely dedicate this centennial Milestone. Hamilton Otto was born in Easton, Penna., on October 27, 1903. He attended Wilson Borough Schools and Lafayette College. With science as a major, he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in 1927. During his college days, Mr. Otto was active in the band, a virtuoso of the alto horn, and a member of the Chemical Club. You might well hear him talk about Alpha Chi Sigma Fraternity, since he is an honorary member. On June 14, 1903, Mr. Otto married the former Latonia Thomas and in September of that year, he began teaching in P. H. S. Since then, Mr. Otto has been busily instructing future. chemists, and in his spare time manages the advertising staff of the Entree. In his eighteen years in Plaintield High, he has Explanation in the making. Experimenting on the theory of rest. TRADITION To you, MARIE WHELAN, guardian of a thou- sand lives; keeper of the room of rest; recorder of the rising mercury; signer of the ‘homeward pass ; mender of wounds of the flesh and the heart; a friend with sincere interest in us all—we, the class of 1948, returning that interest, most affectionately } dedicate this centennial Milestone. Marie Whelan is a product of our home town. Born in Plainfield, N. J., she attended P. H. S. and, because she had always wanted to be a nurse, entered the Nursing School at Muhlenberg Hos- pital. ° Before returning to P. H. S. as school nurse, Miss Whelan did private and institutional nursing. Since work with young people was what she really wanted, (+) she entered Newark Teachers College in 1938 to acquire credits which were necessary for her to qualify as a school nurse. The program of health education in which she now finds herself she con- siders most interesting and satisfying. We will not soon forget Nurse Marie Whelan, who cared for us with gracious efficiency and com- forted us with her warm sense of humor. Dat Brushing up on public health. oe | So you want to go home! WE TURN BACK THE Not very long ago when the Plainfield school system consisted of only one or two rooms, a prin- cipal and a few members of a board of directors were sufficient to manage affairs. As the sizes of the schools increased, it became necessary to enlarge the administrative body. Today the superintendent of schools, the Board of Education, the principals, vice-principals, and the deans of boys and girls work in close harmony to produce a system of better education. The Superintendent of Schools is in immediate charge of the entire school system as the Board of Education's chief executive officer. He coordinates the work of all administrative departments; exe- cutes the policies of the Board or assumes respon- sibility for seeing that they are executed; and recommends policies for the Board to consider in improving the school system. The responsibilities of Principal are wide and varied. He is at the helm of his entire school program including instruction, curriculum, and extra-curricula activities. The students of Plainfield High have felt their principal's influence in Student PAGES Council, and have accepted his kind advice during student conferences. Our parents, too, meet him at P. T. A. gatherings and Executive Board meetings. Every senior's record is carefully checked by the vice-principal to see if the student has the required credits for graduation. Not only are the seniors benefited by his help, but all the students and faculty are indebted to his orderly management of fire drills. The long and tedious task of scheduling is also under the supervision of the vice-principal. The girls of P. H. S. bring problems to the Dean of Girls who always has a friendly solution. She helps manage many social activities and is also a Student Council Advisor. The Dean of Boys, who is usually thought of as being an oppressor of boyhood, is, on the con- trary, one who is ready to give help at all times. Not only has he gained the friendship of many students who have met him in his office, but he is welcomed with hearty greetings at the extra-cur- ricula and community activities in which he takes his part.

We were awed by the size of the buildings; the number of students; shy in the presence of the sophisticated seniors; thankful to the helpful jun- iors; annoyed by the arrogance of the sophomores; scared at the mention of the Dean's or Principal's office, but far too wise to fall for that ‘elevator gag . We elected Jack Halpern, Dick Aibers, and Unity Fi tzpatrick to lead our class through the pit- falls of our freshman year. None the worse for wear but far wiser in the ways of P. H. S., we entered our sophomore year. We could now look down on the lowly frosh. We elected as class officers Donald Stewart, Ronald T. Cadou, Pres.; A. Dickson, V.-Pres.; A. de Montmollin, Treas.; G. Wolfe, Sec. THE TAPE Williams, Ann Pierce, and Jack Halpern. We started our junior year by electing Ronald Williams, Ted Behr, Margaret Alexanderson, and Pat Moreno as officers. We put our play, ‘The Fighting Littles’, over with a bang! The Junior Dance, ''Winter Wonderland , was the first to fea- ture specialty dances. This year has been full and exciting with the knowledge that graduation day would soon be upon us. ‘Dear Ruth'' was a laughing success. As the year drew to a close, we found ourselves at the unfor- gettable Junior-Senior Prom. Then, the climax, our excitement on Senior Day and at the Senior Supper, the thrill we felt when the Hall of Fame was an- nounced, and the combination of joy and sadness in our hearts as we gathered together in our caps and gowns. Then there were little things, too—getting a cut slip or seeing your name in the Entree; the excite- ment over the new schedule each term; the thrill of seeing your name on the prospective graduate list; the pep rallies; the football games; the class meetings; signing yearbooks and saying goodbye. Then there was that memorable commencement that brought a lump to his'' throat and a tear to her eye. All these things we leave, but someday we shall look back upon them. Now we must look ahead to our future which is more important than the past. So she says to me— A fine fix. ETHEL JEAN ABEL Abe Witielani ae Sis Squad 2, |. Ambition: Beautician. Future Plan: Work.

GOAL IN SIGHT Surely you've noticed that the Class of '49 is right out in the front line in school activities. You've seen us at all the pep rallies, dances, foot- ball and basketball games cheering for ‘good CidsP ert Se Of course, you must not forget that this is nothing new with us, for in our Freshman year we were doing the same things. Our Frosh Party, which featured Doc Brown and his orchestra, was a tremendous success with beautiful decorations, and delicious refreshments for all. The next year, when we ‘'lower-upper class- men’ were ‘'upper-lower classmen''; or Sopho- mores; we again put on a terrific dance—this one was called the ''Soph Hop. ' Not only did we rate tops in entertainment, but we also rated high scholastically. This was proved when three stu- dents of our class won the Latin Contest held at New York University. Bill Campbell was awarded a medal for being the best second year Latin student in New Jersey; Arthur Stein won a cer- tificate for having an excellent translation pa,ror. These two plus Nancy Gibbons composed a team which received the cup for the highest score. You recall during the week of October 20-27 this year, gaily colored posters were hung on the bulletin boards in the halls announcing our Jun- ior Dance, which, incidently, was a great success. Dance specialties, refreshments, and games were the main highlights of the evening. Another supercolossal event at which we were your hosts was our annual Junior Play, and that was, as you surely remember, definitely a smash hit! May we Juniors now take the opportunity to inform the Seniors, that we are absolutely essen- tial and indispensible people. Perhaps they are not aware of this fact, but they must remember that we were their better half at a dance that could not have taken place without our cooper- ation. | am, of course, referring to the Junior- Senior Prom, at which we had ourselves an unforgettable and enjoyable evening of fun. We ''49 ers'’ have also participated in other school activities. Our class makes up one third of Student Council, with some serving as leaders of committees, and we are represented in almost every other club. We have struggled in carrying out our ideas for assemblies. Again this year the Juniors supplied a good many of the ''Brains’’ who made the Principal's List and the Dean's List. Now as we breathe a sigh of relief that exams are over, and that for two months we can eat our unhurried lunch, we would like the seniors to know that what pleasures and activities we have shared with them were enjoyed by every last one of us. If in our last year in P. H. S., we do as grand a job as the Seniors are doing, following in their footsteps, we shall feel that we, too, have had a successful four years in P. H. S.

WELL ON THE WAY September, 1946, ushered into P. H. S. several hundred slightly bewildered Freshmen, who man- aged to put up a brave front despite the con- descending advice of upperclassmen. This class went through hazing; one-way traffic; initiations into Hi-Tri, Leaders, and other clubs; the terri- fying ‘‘first-year’” problems. At election time they took on the serious business of selecting from the many candidates, Thomas Pepe as President; Shelby Craig, Vice-President; Phyllis Scelso, Sec- retary; and Anne Borow, Treasurer, as their lead- ers. Their classmate agree that it was a wise choice. One member from each freshman home- room was added to our governing body, the Student Council. When the class of 1950 presented its first big social event, the Freshman party, on March 29, they showed the rest of the school that even though they were newcomers, they could still give a really exciting affair! All the entertainment was provided by the more talented members of the class. The Freshmen's pursuits were not confined to the social field. We find that they were also well represented in scholastic achievements, clubs, and extra curricula activities. This year the class of '50 are suave, sophisti- cated Sophomores well versed in the ways of P. H. S. The tremendous projects of their second year were very ably directed by the new officers of the class. Shelby Craig moved up one step to the President's seat; Dottie Gee was chosen as Vice-President; Bill Johnson, Treasurer; and Betsy Clark became the new Secretary. The grand and glorious social event of the second year was— yes, that's it—the Soph Hop! Ballarinas whirled down the halls on posters announcing the dance which was held on February 6. Plainfield High's dancers rivalled the ballarinas when they whirled on the floor of the well-decorated auditorium, dancing to the soft strains of music provided by Austin Palmer's band. Gaining courage from their elevated status, the Sophomores engaged in more activities. They showed a growing percentage of members in band, orchestra, clubs, and stars-to-be in the sports and theatrical fields. Their class treasury was swelled by the sale of ''P'’ buttons to wear at football games. The Sophomores are still underclassmen, tech- nically, but we expect some terrific things to happen under their ministrations by the time they are seniors. Looking at the class of 1950, we can say that they are well on their way to bring honor to Plainfield High School. Watch that birdie!

THE STARTING LINE Freshman Day 1947 brought many suntanned youngsters back from their summer vacation to begin a new kind of life—life in P. H. S. We frosh felt very significant on that first day as we proudly strolled the halls becoming acquainted with teachers, rooms, and classmates. For some reason, the next day was a bit more trying. The upper classmen all seemed to be going the wrong way and you had a dreadful time trying to get up that ''Down'’ stairway. Then you got lost and couldn't find 280 and wondered how you could make your Latin teacher understand the reason for being late. After all, Latin does not lend itself easily to excuse-making! Not wanting to be late to history, you looked for that rapid transit elevator—ah, yes, ‘what fools we mor- tals be! Soon the frosh became established in clubs, musical organizations, and sports. They took part in Student Council, Library Council, and assem- blies. The neophytes, crawling down the halls on hands and knees, were for a time, a funny and familiar sight indeed. Remember your crush on that nice senior? Gee, how you wished you had the nerve to ask him to the Christmas formal or maybe one of the K. D. dances. That's all right, you decided, you would rather go with a freshman anyhow— even if he was a bit shorter than you. Day after day, you carried home piles of books and devoted the entire evening to your homework assignments. It was a little hard at first to manage to shovel down your huge lunch in twenty-eight minutes and rush back to a classroom to do the history you forgot to do last night. But soon you became entirely accustomed to the ways of P. H. S. and now, after a brief vacation, you will return a bit more sophisticated, but not so suave that you won't tease next year's crop of frosh— no, siree! Although one wonderful year has passed, there are yet three to go in which you will have ample time to work for, honor, and love good ‘ole P. H. S. You go first It's a draw After-hours confab ““ONE FOOT 52 IN THE GROOVE’’ Janeeite 53 54 Front Row: T. Cadou; J. Roberts; R. Audet; D. Stewart. Second Row: Mr. W. Kindig; J. O'Keeffe; Miss M. J.

If the Student Council were measured in value, we would find it to be P. H. S.'s most valuable pos- session. By means of this organization, everyone from the meek freshman to the esteemed senior is given a chance to voice his complaints and to help shape the future of his school. The group, advised by Mr. Waldro J. Kindig, Mr. George Smith, Miss Lola Hoff, Mr. Warren H. Held, and Miss Mary J. Basehore, meets every Tuesday in the library where the taps of Ronald Williams's presidential gavel brings about order. The other officers—Joan O'Keeffe, secretary; Charles Cary, vice-president; and Joy Roberts, treasurer—sit by waiting their turns according to parliamentary procedure. The accomplishments of the Student Council are numerous and varied. When you wore out your THROUGH THE YEARS lungs at the football rallies, were you aware of the fact tha t because of the capable Council, the rally was held? When you saw movies, played ping pong, swam, and danced at the Fall Mixer all for one S. A. T. ticket, did you realize that the active Coun- cil had sponsored the affair? Ten members from P. H. S. attended the Prince- ton Convention where each member visited two panel discussions in which different phases of Stu- dent Council were discussed. Three of our students were speakers on panels. When the children in Europe asked for books, the Council started a Treasure Chest campaign, wherein every homeroom contributed a book. By supporting a school in France, the Student Council is spreading its aims of democracy and is helping war-torn Europe recover in the field of education.

THAN THE SWORD The 1948 Milestone featuring One Hundred Years of Education in Plainfield rolled off the presses in June to the cheers of sixty Mile- stone staff writers, artists, and salesmen who worked long and hard on their favorite project. They proudly present a new Milestone in memory of a joyous and record-making school year. Under the direction of editor Tama Schenk, the staff received assignments, tracked down facts, interviewed famous figures in school history, and met fast-approaching deadlines. They set up pages, identified pictures, re-wrote dummies and took pictures. On February |, in the language of the editorial world, they ‘put their baby to bed and relaxed to await its first public appearance in ink and gloss and handsome leather. On the Business Staff, dollar-minded salesmen solicited ads, pressed one and all for subscriptions, and sold copies of popular school pictures to make the books come out even.

No, those people you see rushing to school about ngdareroneta 7:45 A. M. aren't sleepwalkers, they are members of the P. H. S. choral groups getting in an early morning rehearsal. More than 200 students participate in the A Capella Choir, Male Chorus, Boys’ Ensemble, and Mixed Choir under the able direction of Mrs. Marie Hoffman. Since its organization in 1939 the A Capella Choir has proved immensely popular. The girls have done a great deal of singing, not only at school functions, but for the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs and various church groups throughout the city. Last year the girls entertained the soldiers at Camp Kilmer. The Male Chorus was organized several years ago for boys who like to sing together. They meet once a week to blend their voices in close harmony. The boys have enter- tained the school and have sung for organizations outside the school.

They have entertained the school many times at special assemblies and have been a great success singing for clubs. Another very popular group is the Mixed Choir of 60 voices, first formed two years ago by Mrs. Hoffman. This year the choir presented excerpts from Gilbert and Sulli- van's operetta ‘The Pirates of Penzance'’ which proved very successful. They also sang for the annual Christmas program. For all the school choral groups the climax of the year's work is the Choral Festival. Presented in the Spring, it has become a yearly tradition in Plainfield. To present such a program takes much time and work, but it is wonderful training in cooperation as well as in music and lots of fun. The P. H. S. Orchestra is under the direction of Mr. Clarence Andrews. This busy group meets every day fifth period to rehearse.

The girl cheerleaders have been cheering through the years, but the boys were ini- tiated to the squad last year. They are under the direction of Miss Arinsberg.

This year Peggy Groff was elected president of the club which moves to the tune of curtain time. Peggy is assisted by Ted Behr, who is vice-president, and Janet Meyer, who holds the office of secretary. The group reads and acts plays; learns the theater inside and out; and familiarizes itself with make-up, lights, publicity and scenery. Conover and Power Take Note! 62 OLD INSTITUTION Now, Mary, this is called a stage. Look at it, study it, and remember it. You'll be seeing a great deal of it in the next four years''—thus the lowly Freshman is introduced to the field of drama. Make-up is seen as a new and exciting part of theatrical presentations, as are the du- ties of the stage crew, de- signers, electricians, actors, and writers. The group centers its activi- ties around its annual produc: tion of the Freshman Play. Their trials and tribulations as amateurs are endured by Mr. D. McCandless and Miss J.

They have outranked the Freshman, and they are on top of the world—until they face the new experiences of the more advanced Sophomore Dramatic Club. The Sophomores really have fun acting and learning under the direction of Miss Virginia Mixer. They study the inner secrets of good theater productions and characterizations, and they enjoy trying to im- prove their own presentations. Also on the agenda are discussions for and against current Broadway dramatic productions. First Row: Finelli, Gee, McSweeney. Second Row: Shallo, Isbell, Staphanie, Glass, Bisset, Fitzpatrick, Clark.

THEY FLY THROUGH THE AIR All types of gymnastic skills are taught to the Apparatus Club by Miss Marion Newson during Monday Assembly periods. The girls become skilled in tumbling, rope work, and in using the various pieces of apparatus found in the gym. Last year in the Physical Education Assembly, the club gave a demonstration of human pyra- mid building and tumbling. Perfection in appar- atus work is obtained only by constant practice. Mrs. Ruth King held badminton classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons in the Girls’ Annex. Badminton may be played in singles or doubles as tennis is, but the racquets are different and a bird is used instead of a ball. Badminton is a good sport for the develop- ment of teamwork when played in doubles. Last year Wanslee Davis and Ruth Pederson, then Seniors, won the championship awards.

The cinder men garnered the Union Country Track and Relay Championships, repeating ‘in the Central Jersey meets. The Cards emerged victors from the Newark Board of Education Meet. They placed third in the Morris Invitational Meet, while they dropped the West Point Contest, a close one which saw Booker Anderson cop three first places. While compiling this impressive record, the hustling trackmen posted several new marks. Evans, Dexter, Cary, and Anderson set a 480 yard relay record at .the Central Jersey Meet, only to see it smashed the next week by Ferris, Audet, Blackwood, and Deady at the Union County run. In the county meet, Booker Anderson, Joe Deady, and Charles Cary topped the previous highs for the 220 yard low hurdles, half mile, and 120 yard high hurdles respectively. The stellar squad was composed of Booker Anderson, Tom and Ray Evans, speedsters; Charles Cary, high hurdles and high jump; David McDonough, discus tosser; George England, javelin hurler; Syl- vester Blackwood, Al Pittis, John Ferris, Joe Deady, Bob Audet, distance runners; and Tom Sullivans, Ted Zieminski, and Bob Gillman, field events men. . Don't worry about this one, Coach! HERITAGE Five more points for Blackwood. Jennings takes to the air. 82 The Football Team of 1905. They won ten and tied three. Yes, sir, football has changed since Plainfield High first engaged in the game. Play was very hard on the participants until revision of the rules; however, even after the changes, gridiron meetings remained tough, rough-and-tumble affairs. Because of the frequency and severity of the injuries received in the contest, the parents of the members of the team protested; therefore, in the 1906 season, the team's activities were suspended after three games had been played. Before the advent of standardized uniforms, a medley of outfits appeared on the playing field. If the reader were to closely examine the garb of the team of 1905, he could discover some unusual objects worn in the frays of that year and of that period; for instance, the player at the extreme left of the rear row is wearing for shoulder pads nothing more nor less than a pair of boxing gloves! Tr ousers were fashioned from Mother's old quilts, and regulation'’ shoes were every day footwear with cut up bits of rubber nailed on for cleats. Stuffed leather bags were used for shoulder protection, and nose guards seemed to be popular. ‘Standard'’ equipment was cleated’' shoes, shin guards, padded trousers, and turtle neck sweaters; anything else could be added at the player's discretion.

Third Row: Me- haffey, Best, Gavett, manager; Todd, Freeman, Burrough, Douglas, captain; Martin, Jones. Backstage RULES HAVE CHANGED Early in the century Plainfield was always represented by a potent gridiron team. Many scoreless ties were played, and there were many contests which ended with lop-sided scores favoring the forerunners of the present Cardinals. When these early birds lost, it was rarely by more than one touchdown. Our present arch rivals, West- field and North Plainfield, were easily defeated by Plain- field squads, and whenever they achieved a victory, it was a definite upset. Since 1930 Westfield has narrowed Plainfield's wide victory margin. They now trail eighteen games to sixteen besides two ties. North Plainfield has won only four games of the total of thirty-four with five games ending in ties.

The teams which had won twenty-one games in the preceding three years were thoroughly disgraced by a powerful South River eleven which took the opener by a 65-0 score. The Cardinals bounced back in their second con- test, battling the Columbia Cougars to a 13-13 tie. A week following the Columbia affair, the Smith- men evened up their season's average by eking out a 25-20 win over a hustling Bound Brook combine. This contest was the only one of the recent cam- paigns in which the Cards emerged victorious. Following their encounter with Bound Brook, the Cards dropped the rest of their games to the fol- lowing squads: Perth Amboy, Somerville, Thomas Jefferson, North Plainfield, Rahway, and Westfield. A GAME Coach Earl Kinney's Freshman had an on-and-off record for the 1947 season win- ning two contests while dropping three and tying one. It was the fine all around work of Captain Tom Campbell and the running of Joe Pope and Roy Knight which gath- ered 42 points to the opponents’ 38 in six contests. Two of the three games lost were by one touchdown. The yearlings looked splendid in their opener against Union's Jayvees, but the visitors were too big for the Cards as they over-powered the homesters for the major- ity of the games. Improving as they went along, the Freshman tied Cranford, out- pointed Westfield, lost to Bound Brook and Rahway, but defeated Somerville in the final contest.

In the eight games played, the Cards scored 274 points to the visitors’ 19. In the first three games of the season, New Brunswick's Panthers fell by a 33-0 margin, Columbia's Cougars were routed 56-0, and Bound Brook was at the short end of a 25-0 score. The first score against Plainfield came during the 32-7 Perth Amboy contest when their fullback crashed over from the one yard stripe. Somerville's Pioneers fell next to the mighty Cards, 39-0. In the Union affair, with the score tied at 12-12 and one minute left to play, Plainfield scored the winning tally. North Plainfield's Canucks dropped their game to the Cards, 33-0.

BASKETBALL Despite the fact that their game was either red hot or ice-cold all season, our courtsters, under the supervision of Mr. Bill Brann, racked up twelve wins and nine losses. Sparked by seniors John Arthur, Don Kennedy, and Bob Teitsworth, and juniors Jim Ridgeway and Bill Harkness, the Brannmen were twice victorious over Asbury Park, Cranford, Dunellen, and Bound Brook. Regional, Westfield, Linden, and Rahway gave way once. In seasonal play, only N.P.H.S. stopped the Cards twice. Columbia, Westfield, Linden, Regional, Hillside, Rahway, and Roselle Park each stopped the team once. Roselle Park also downed the Cards, 41-34, in the County Tourney. Other senior boys that have put P. H. S. basket- balls through the hoop for the last time are Julie Ciotta, Walt Gabruk and Al Krajewski. First Row: B. Feldman, W. Johnson, J. Pepe, F. Hocko, L.

FOR THRILLS Coach Bill Brann's Junior Varsity, whose starting lineup consisted of Frank Hocko, Herb Brandt, Bill Johnson, Tom Campbell, and Benton Neill, was able to win only seven games, but much promise was shown. Most of the games were close; only Asbury Park was ablé to run off with both games. The majority of the players will return for more Jayvee seasoning and will, no doubt, run up an impressive record. 88 Harold Bruguiere, Coach; J. Callahan, E. Baxter, T. Kett, D. Kennedy, R.

Under the able supervision of Mr. Harold Bruguiere, the Cross Country team compiled a record of four wins and two defeats besides capturing third place in the State Meet and, for the second straight year, the county crown. Their losses, both by narrow margins, were meted out by Kearny and Cranford, the latter meet finding the Cards without two of their aces. Captain Al Pittis, aided by Robert Audet, James Callahan, Roland McDermott, Tim Kett, Ed Baxter, Don Kennedy, Charles Grimes, Arthur Skove, and Dickson Pratt led the squad. We dood it! First Row: |.

Gray, R. Lorch, C. Small, R. Prigge. Another undefeated season—the best yet—has just gone into the record books. Senior mermen like Garry Hoyt, Ted Behr, Jack Logan, Bob Prigge and Chuck Small made it possible to credit Coach Vic Liske with another brilliant year. The count—l4 wins; 0 losses; 0 ties; 2nd in the State Meet, and one broken school record. Two wins each over Westfield, West Orange, Columbia, Lincoln, Bayonne, and Irvington, and single wins over Snyder and Fairlawn completed the list of P. H. S. victories! Ted Behr, Garry Hoyt, Bill Marsh, and Tim Kett broke the school record of 1:22 :0 in the 160 freestyle relay and set a new time of 1:21:9. Bob Prigge captured second honors in the State Meet 100-yard breaststroke. Garry Hoyt took 3rd in the 50-yard freestyle diving, and the freestyle relay squad barely lost to Trenton, the State: champs, by .| of a second. The medley relay team—Ted Behr, Bob Prigge and Irv Bittle tied for 4th with Westfield. Look out, Jack, it's wet! 89 WE WIELD RACQUET OR 1947 saw Coach Sette's P. H. S. tennis team take nine matches and sustain one defeat. New Brunswick and Cran- ford each succumbed twice by 5-0 scores, and Perth Amboy dropped two, 4-1 and 3-2. The netmen set back Morristown 5-0, Rahway 4-1, and were leading 2-0 when rain cancelled the North Plainfield contest. The Cards split 3-2 decisions with Westfield, winning the second match. Lettermen were John Enander, captain, winner of the Alumni Cup Tourney, the Outstanding Senior Player Award, and the Union County Singles Championship; Don Martino, Charles Lott, Edward Rosenzweig, Gerry Shaw, Pete Shaw, Nisam Bob Teitsworth, and Phil Zerega. Bob Teitsworth and Charles : Lott were victors in the Union County Doubles Tournament. A fall tennis program, an innovation, appeared in 1947. It consisted of class tournaments, practise matches, and competition for varsity positions. First Row: Shaw, Shaw, Fitts. Second’ Row: Martino, Zerega, Teitsworth, Enander, Lott. 90 BAT WITH EQUAL SKILL A record of thirteen wins and six losses, a .684 percen- tage; New Jersey's ace pitcher and leading batsman; three All-Staters, Johnny Arthur, Don McNally, and Johnny Mur- phy—that sums up the Cardinals’ achievements in 1947. With pitchers like Jack Murphy, seven game winner who finished the season without a ioss; Lou Harding, Bruce Anderson, Ronnie Williams, and Al Monaci hurling the ball to catcher Al Tumulo, little could have beaten Coach Liddy's wards. When enemy bats met the ball squarely, Johnny Arthur, Jeff Fleischmann, and Charley Hugel starred in hauling down drives hit to the outfield, while Don Mc- Nally, ‘'Booboo'’ Santy, Herb Heiney, and Al Monaci cap- ably played the infield. When Plainfield was not in the field, their bats made merry. Led by Johnny Arthur, whose .386 average topped everyone in the state, the Cards scored !18 times while the opposition could collect only 62 runs. i eer See First Row: MacConnell, manager, Tumulo, Arthur, Monaci, Santy, asst. coach.
