Detgen, whose friendly counsel and deep interest have helped to make our four years in P.H.S. the best years of our lives, we dedicate our Milestone, During World War Two, Mr. Detgen entered the Army Air Force and saw action in Italy as a captain. In addition to serving in the signal corps, he was an instructor for the Technical Training Command. In 1951 he became one of P.H.S.’s original class-advisers and is the only one to remain with his class all four years. Among his favorite pastimes Mr. Detgen lists football, baseball, and gymnastics, sports for which he received varsity letters in college. We shall always remember Mr. Detgen for his understanding and his wise guidance which have made our years in P.H.S. so pleasant. To him we offer our sincerest thanks. Lunch time. Good advice.

His accomplishments and the ideals for which he stood will always remain with us. Supervisor, Physical Education IN MEMORIAM Mr, George A. Smith, former biology teacher and Dean of Boys, died on November 27, 1954. He had been in ill health for some time and retired from active teaching in February, 1954. Mr. Smith was a member of the Science Depatt- ment for nineteen years. He was Dean of Boys in Plainfield High School from 1939 until 1951. Mr. Smith loved biology, and he made his pupils love it. He liked to work with young people and spent many hours outside of school working with them. He was adviser to the Hi-Y Club during all the years that he taught in Plainfield. He was for many years program director of the Boy Scout Camp near Monti- cello, New York. For several years he assisted in coaching football and basketball in Plainfield High School and for one year was head track coach. Those who knew Mr. Smith well valued him for his friendliness, his love of life, and his love of teaching. Naren M eb Principal [12] | TES Wiis, 4 ae) re a ot In the classroom. Headquarters. KN 4 NG KY a AK Wi) [14] These Are Our Time has passed by so quickly, and as our best years come to an end, we look back on them with pride and satisfaction. Our mentor through these years has been Charles Detgen, who has counseled us and been our constant friend. Under his assistance, we, as green frosh, chose Ronny Bender for our commander-in-chief, and Sydell Ruskin, Gretchen Rademaker, and Tony Curreri for our other leaders. We got off to a booming social start with our freshman party, which featured a real floor show, movies, square and social dancing. We showed our creativeness by originating the homeroom visita- tion program, which has carried through until the present time. As the next year rolled around, we realized that we were almost upperclassmen, We elected George Friedlander as the big boss, and Toni Smith, Gretchen Rademaker, and Tony Curreri as the lesser men. Feeling quite spry, we made plans for our dance, the “Lucky Leap.” By the time this year was over, we had instituted the messenger service as a Sophomore honor. Passing the halfway mark in our four years, we entered P.H.S. as big juntors. To lead us we picked Chip Nicholas as President, Toni Smith, Louise Britton, and Tony Curreri as his assistants, and Toni again made news when he became Editor- in-Chief of the Entree. We are extremely proud to say that we worked furtously to make the “Surf Club,” the junior-senior Working hard ? Best Years dance, a big success. And it was! Eventually we decided to fatten up our treasury by selling P.H.S. buttons. Our biggest thrill came when we were allowed to participate in the junior- senior prom, “Garden Serenade.’’ Everyone who was there agreed that it was the best prom that P.H.S, has ever had! With spring and graduation just around the corner, we entered the old building for the last time. Determined to make our Class the best of all, we looked to the capable leadership of Chip Nicholas, Adrienne Shoppe, Gretchen Rademaker, and Marion Morse. We were honored when Bob Garrenger, Dick McDaniels, and Diane Williams were chosen as President, Vice-President, and Secretary of our Student Council. With the help of ‘the bodies,” Miss Mixer, short meet- ings, and long rehearsals, we proudly presented “Arsenic and Old Lace,” starring Peggy Jacobs and Anne Earnshaw. Phyllis Mason was chosen Editor-in-Chief of our Milestone, and we began the slow process of putting it all together. During our four years various homerooms have supported the Booster Club, adopted children at Christmas, and con- tributed to the Neighborhood House. We now leave our school and even while thinking of our past four years, we anticipate a challenging future, With our acquired knowledge and our gratefulness to those who have made P.H.S. the Best Years of Our Lives, we step forward to take our place among the men and women of the world.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY Our senior play, Arsenic and Old Lace, was a big event in the best years of our lives. We'll always remember those hectic rehearsals, brightened by Miss Mixer’s daily contribution of apples. Between three and five p.m. we could be seen and heard munching on those unfor- gettable apples. There was that one certain student director walking around the halls in her stocking feet, hiding an apple behind her back. Harriet Krinick was a behind-the-scenes heroine in taking over as co-student director when Lynn Fieldman was stricken with an untimely illness. Also some strange singing was heard floating around the eve of the play . . . was it Larry, Brad, George, Joel, and Bob rendering “I Spoke Too Soon?” Or could it have been all of us doing our original jazz bit, “Thirteen Bodies Buried in the Cellar ?” Just ask anyone in the cast. One famous line we'll cherish forever is Larry's, “Who are we? Oh, are we, we are, are we!”’ Miss Mixer and her unending patience, our hardworking cast, and all the people who made our play a success, give it immortality in our memories of the Best Years of Our Lives.

Remembering when we first entered P.H.S. three years ago, we feel we've come an awfully long way. We started our freshman year with a “bang” by electing Robert Kelly, Jerry O'Sullivan, Ilene Gartenberg, and Loretta Spiegal to lead us. Becoming more and more active in the many different activities, in our sophomore year we elected as our leaders Brent Mauro, Jerry O'Sullivan, Ginger Predmore, and Ilene Gartenberg. This year, as Juniors, we entered P.H.S. for another year of classes, clubs, home- work, and many new friendships. Our new class officers were Jerry O'Sullivan, Howard Runyon, Judy Schwartz, and Natalie Robbins. Never will we forget our biggest thrill, the day we received our school rings and realized we were upperclassmen. We will also remember the fun we had at the two big events of the year, the Junior-Senior Dance and the Junior-Senior Prom. Mr. Paul Chambers, our class adviser, is responsible for making our days in P.H.S. more pleasant, and more meaningful. To him we owe our thanks. This year too, we began to realize that we were nearing the end of our high school life. We have worked with the aim of entering the doors of P.H.S. next fall being the “ruling class” — high and mighty seniors at last!

We have made the grade as freshmen and are leaving our post to take up a new and different one—that of a sophomore. Our freshman year, under the leadership of Claude Sutton, Sheldon Baroff, Janet James, and Sherry Wells was a proper “send-off” for what we are now experiencing. We will never forget the fun that we had at the Freshman Party and the Fall Mixer. Our Parent Visitation program was also a huge success. Now as sophomores, with the help of Bill Legat, our president ; Brian McKinney, vice-president; Nancy Nielson, secretary; and Harriet Robinson, treasurer; we keep climbing successfully to the top. We finally organized and held a dance for the benefit of the entire student body. They supported and helped us, making our first dance a success. We are at the halfway mark now and are beginning to feel at home with our fellow classmates. We are working with the aim of becoming upper classmen next year. Being a sophomore is like being ‘between the devil and the deep blue sea.” We are no longer young freshmen, but we have not quite made the grade as upperclassmen. With this idea in mind we climb our ladder and pass over the line between the beginning and the end of our four year journey up the ladder of success.

We found high school life much different than that of grammar school, and as the days went by we became more accustomed to the routine of this new experience and have grown to like it more every day. Being called the “green frosh” is somewhat traditional. We were kidded much about our standing, but we feel that this makes us want to work just that much harder to become wise old sophomores. We opened our freshman year by holding elections for class officers. We elected Peter Saidel as president, Ira Bloom as vice-president, Susan Fickett as secretary, and Lanny Gartenberg as our treasurer. Our first big social program was the annual Freshman Party. Here we gathered together for the first time to meet the other memers of our class and start many new friendships, which make us feel more at home in P.HLS. Of course most of us made our first attempt at meeting the other students and getting oriented at the Fall Mixer which was a tremendous success. This was our first big opportunity to shine in the eyes of the upperclassmen. We have taken our step over the threshold into a new and different life. We strive to open the doors that our upperclassmen have previously opened; knowing that with a little hard work, a few heartaches, and we hope, many triumphs, we may soon take that final step out into the world.

LONG BRANCH: Locking horns with the Green Wave of Long Branch in the opening game of the season for both teams, the Varsity grid squad fought to a 7-7 dead- lock on the Brancher’s gridiron. The Cards started first in the scoring, striking quickly and early on a run by Halfback George Freeman, who, behind superior blocking, ran 68 yards down the sidelines for the score. COLUMBIA: In their second encounter of the 54 season, the Cardinal Varsity Football team was held to a 13-13 stalemate by a strong Columbia team. The tie came as the Perfect Form. result of the inability of the Plainfield team to make success- ful the final conversion of a score recorded late in the game. WOODBRIDGE: The Cards won the season’s first game by topping Woodbridge High, 14-12. The Varsity grid squad tied together an iron-wall ground defense and some hard running by halfback Fanny Grimes, who scored both of the Cardinal Tallies. PERTH AMBOY: The Cardinal grid machine ground out its second straight victory by rolling over a game but outmanned Perth Amboy Eleven, 26-12, at Waters Stadium, Perth Amboy. Taking advantage of a poor Amboy kickoff the Cards, Freeman, struck back for a quick T.D., evening the score. Plainfield’s other scores were recorded by Dave Lustig and Dom Dessino. ASBURY PARK: The Cards first defeat was a 13-0 deci- sion, dropped to the Blue Bishops of Asbury Park, For the Red Birds it was a disheartening loss as they out scored the Parkers 12-5 in the first down bracket and gained a total of 221 yards as against Asbury’s 158. But it was the ability of the shore eleven to come through in the clutch that spelled the difference. THOMAS EFFERSON: The Card Pigskin squad fell before the sparkling backfield and rock-wall line of Thomas Jeffer- son, 12-7. For the Cards, minus ailing halfback Fanny Grimes, it was principally George Freeman and Joe Lambert, who spearheaded the locals attack. NORTH PLAINFIELD: By taking advantage of a P.H.S. fumble in the final quarter, North Plainfield recovered and sent fullback Jim Satterlee through for the tally. Through- out the game the maroon clad eleven held the edge, pound- ing at holes in the Card line for good yardage. UNION: The Cardinals were defeated by the Farmers of Union, 7-6, in a closely fought battle at the high school held. It was a scoreless game until the second stanza, when the Union crew hit the scoring column. They marched from the P.H.S. 47 yard line to the goal in 12 plays, send- ing Okin Weitbrook over for the TD that tied the score. The all-important conversion, earlier missed by Plainfield, was successfully carried out by the Farmers, for the winning margin. WESTFIELD: The Plainfield High School Varsity football team, in bringing their 54 season to a winning conclusion, knocked off a favored Westfield eleven, 6-0 at High School Field, Thanksgiving Day. Tom Grifa’s excellent ball handling and quarterbacking was one of the contributing factors leading up to the victory.

BASKETBALL Although having only an average season of eight wins and nine losses, the Cardinals brightened their record by regaining the city championship from North Plainfield High in two spectacular games, winning 61-55, in overtime in the first, and hanging on to a slim lead throughout the second half, 62-60, in the second contest under the coaching of Mr, Wilber Brann. After opening the season on the home court with a 53-46 win over Regional, the Cardinal five bogged down, losing their next five to Westfield, 60-59, Thomas Jefferson, 53-49, New Brunswick, 72-35, Linden, 73-51, and Union, 56-55 in overtime.

TRACK TEAM The track team, with Marshall Brown inaugurating his first season as mentor of the Cards, was able to record a creditable 3 won, 1 loss, slate. With the loss of Milton Campbell, Henry Foster, Alex Branch, the nine returning lettermen who made Coach Brown’s task somewhat easier were Peter Bryne, Carl Snell, George Freeman, Paul Taylor, Ken Cooper, Paul Moon, Allan England, Jack Saunders, and Doug Werner. In the sprint department, the trio of Carl Snell, George Freeman, and Ken Cooper formed a solid nucleus, and also in the quarter mile event was eter Bryne. The team’s half miler was Tom Der- mondy. Archie Bowers, Tom Trautwein, and Walley French manned the hurdles for the Cards while the pole-vaulters were R. Eodice, Paul Taylor and Dave Nodine. Ably assisting the team in the weight events were Doug Werner, Bill O'Neill, and Charles Ripps, while the high-jumpers were Al Banks, and Bill Long, who both finished in a tie for fourth place in the state meet. Opening their season against Long Branch on April 21, the Cards defeated the Green Wave by a 61-34 margin. The team notched its second consecutive dual meet win by topping Westfield 63-54, on the Blue Devil track. With George Freeman jumping 20 feet to take the broad jump, and with his wins in the 100 and 220 yard events, the Plainfield victory was assured. After finishing 14th in the Newark Board of Education Meet, the harriers captured fourth place in the Annual Union County Track Meet on May 14, at the high school field. The Cards, again resuming dual meet competition, brought an unblemished 3-0 record into their final meet with the Union runners. The Farmers defeated the forces of Marshall Brown, by a 58-57 count.

The cross country squad, partict- pating in its first regular season since 1951, dropped all of its five meets coming close to a victory only once, when Tom Smith, Larry Myers, and John Wilkes placed second, third, and sixth, respec- tively, against Cranford. In this meet Cranford triumphed by a close 28-27 margin. The Cards, under the coaching of Marshall Brown, were strength- ened considerably by lettermen Al Galli, Larry Myers, Tom Smith, and John Wilkes. Although next year’s prospects are very dim with the graduating of three seniors; letterman Al Galli, and some very good prospects, Robert Davis, Perry Jones, and Bob Woodruff, will be returning to the team. Wu Lili ii BASEBALL The Cardinal nine encountered one of its poorest seasons, winding up with a record of two wins, twelve losses, and one tie. However, the record doesn’t show the sev- eral one run games lost by the Cards which would have made a big difference in the record, Neither does the record show that the team established an all time school Perfect Form. record by hitting three home runs in their 11-10 loss to Long Branch. Next year the varsity will have eight returning lettermen, a fact which should result in an improve- ment over this year’s record. Holding down Coach Liddy’s infield post- tion were Homer Weider, Alan Oakes, Bob Gessner, John Moriarty, Bob Waugh, Guy Wedgeworth, Jerry Bennett, and Tony Grifa.

Tennis Team- completed the season with the excellent record of 13 wins and 2 losses. In compiling its best record in six years, the team lost only to Westfield, a team which has given Coach Art Smith many grey hairs. The high point of the year for Art Smith’s netmen was the Cards’ highly successful showing in the New Jersey State Inter- scholastic Tennis Tournament. In tough competition the team reached the semi- finals where they lost to Ridgewood, the State Champions, by the score of 2-1, Mr. Smith said, concerning next year’s outlook, ‘“With a nucleus of veterans, plus a host of new prospects, a good season seems inevitable.” Seniors who played for the last time were Myron Margolin, Robert Young, and Edward Johnson.

SWIMMING TEAM Coach Vic Liske’s swimming team this year pre- served its record of never a losing season. The team won 5 of 9 dual meets, took 2nd in the Union County Meet, and fourth in the State Meet, Plain- field’s wins came at the expense of Morristown, North Plainfield, Snyder, Rahway, and Thomas Jeffer- son. Its reverses were against the state champions, Columbia, and Westfield, another state powerhouse, each twice. An unofficial loss was suffered at the hands of the perennially powerful West Point Plebes. The Union County meet was a three team dual, with Westfield edging the Cards for first place honors, 36 to 34, with Pingry 3rd with 30 points. Point scorers for P.H.S. were Chip Nicholas, 1st in the breast-stroke with a new county record, Doug Merrill, 1st in the dive, the team of Carl Snell, Chip Nicholas, and Dick Testut, 1st in the medley relay , Ed Townley, 2nd in the breast-stroke, Bruce Burner, 2nd in the 200 freestyle, and the freestyle relay team of Hughes, Burner, Tuite, and Werlock, 2nd in the relay. Also, Harold Bower took 4th in the dive, Bill Hughes 4th in the 100 freestyle, and Marshall Macofsky, 4th in the individual medley. The “Liskemen’’ finished out their season March 5 by taking a fourth in the State Meet at Princeton. Those who scored for P.H.S. were Chip Nicholas, relay, 2nd in the breast-stroke, Doug Merrill, 3rd in the dive, the team of Snell, Nicholas, and Hughes, 3rd in medley relay, and Testut, Bower, Burner, and Hughes, 5th in the freestyle relay. Returning lettermen who led the way this season were seniors Bob Tuite, Bruce Burner, Chip Nicholas, Doug Merrill, Carl Snell, and Dick Testut. Juniors Bill Hughes, Harold Bower, Steve Werlock, Marvia Kodest, and Robert Johnson helped supply the team with the extra ‘“‘push.” Sophomores Ed Townley, Marshall Macofsky, Mike Stonehill, Ted Smith, and freshmen John Nagengast, Jack Legate, and Ira Bloom should form the nucleus of the team for future years. On Your Mark— Good Form. Butterfly Champ. Perfect. Spring rolls around and once again it’s archery time at P.H.S. Every Mon- day and Wednesday the gitls may be found practic- ing in the large gym under the supervision of Mrs. King. Toward the end of the season there is an interclass tournament from which the “Red and Blue’ teams are chosen. The winner of these tournaments receives a gold trophy. About one hundred and thirty girls came out for basketball sponsored by Miss Joyce. Five inter- school sports days were held with North Plainfield, Westfield, and Scotch Plains. The seniors won their three games with North Plainfield, Westfield, and Scotch Plains. The juniors were victor ious over North Plainfield and tied Scotch Plains and Westfield. The sophomores won _ three games, defeating North Plainfield, Westfield, and Scotch Plains. The fresh- men lost to North Plain- field but beat Scotch Plains. The seniors won the inter-class tournament by defeating the other three classes. [112] Left to right: Virginia Siergej, Joanne Otenthal, Ann Earnshaw, Joan Williams.

Under the guidance of Miss Newson, girls from the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes learned the finer points of the game on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Three tournaments, doubles, intermediate singles, and advanced singles, were scheduled, but because of inclement weather we were unable to complete them and play will continue in the spring.
