Here we conve! “ © Mi. Keeping Treasure Island's scrap book Looking into the treasure chest containing souvenirs of our years at Plainfield High, we find an El Dorado of memories which will re- main with us though we may travel to and through other Treasure Islands. We shall never forget our entrance into P.H.S. on Freshman Day. We were a crew of typically bewildered freshmen. After choos- ing Bob Kelly as our president, with the help of Jerry O'Sullivan, Ilene Gartenberg, and Loretta Spiegel as our officers, we adjusted to high school life and attended our Freshman Party, which was a great success, both financially and socially. Soon our sophomore year came, and we were no longer “foolish frosh.” We realized that our years in high school were going quickly and would be over all too soon. We chose Brent Mauro for president, to be aided by Jerry O'Sullivan, Virginia Predmore, and Ilene Garten- berg, and we organized a square dance that was enjoyed by all. We competed in the annual Halloween Talent Show and won second lace. : During the summer we basked in the realization that we were juniors, and we began to feel the pressure of upperclass responsibili- ties. Jerry O'Sullivan led us in our next year, with Howard Runyon, Judy Schwartz, and Natalie Robins. As the annual junior fund-raising event, we sold pompons and pennants. Our two representatives to Boys’ State were Steve Becker and Bill Swaney. eee = a LLL eee a eee ee a OE EL LO eee

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Plotting the course— One more year to go. They held the helm. It wasn’t all grim! We all enjoyed the Junior-Senior Dance, and the prom, Showboat, was a great success. We will always remember the school song, “‘Plain- field High” written by Clark Gesner. Then it finally came. That fabulous senior year with the perfect combination of work, respon- sibility, and the fun and sadness of our last year in school. Bob Neill was our class presi- dent, with the able assistance of Judy Schwartz, Virginia James, and Ken Kunzman. In Student Council our class was well represented with Steve Becker as president, Dave Lustig as vice- president, Virginia Predmore as secretary, and Ruth Weil as treasurer. Our Senior Play, “Charlie’s Aunt,’ was the best ever, thanks to Clark Gesner and the rest of the cast, as well as Miss Mixer and the people behind the scenes. Gretchen Buckelmueller was chosen Entree editor-in-chief, and Betty Burdick was Milestone editor. With graduation almost here, we realize that our Treasure Island has almost been attained, but after leaving Plainfield High behind us, let us strive for even a more perfect Treasure Island in the years to come. Laughing off the calories—
