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—
