IN DEDICATION To William V. Sette, who has so wisely determined the orbit of our four- year course in Plainfield High School, we dedicate our Milestone. It has been his counsel and sympathetic understanding which has made our stay so. memorable. Mr. Sette began his education in a one-room school in Roycefield, New Iersey. He was graduated from PHS in 1929. Five years later, after receiving a B.A. degree from Columbia College, Mr. Sette returned to PHS as a teacher. In Iune, 1944, he entered the Army. Serving in the European theater, he won the Bronze Star, Good Conduct and Victory Ribbons, and the Combat Infantry Badge, After two and one half years in the service, he came back to the faculty once more. Last year, Mr. Sette was named our classmaster. Dreaming of the future, Mr. Sette hopes that there will be a younger generation that will work to the limit of its potentialities to make this world a finer place for its people. Throughout our span of lnterplanetary PHS, Mr. Sette has acted as the guiding star which has kept the axis of our planet pointed toward success. We have indeed been fortunate to have known him as the chief astronomer who has piloted our four-year trip through space.
