Nlflflf lllfll NJIMH PITIIIM F005 W M0 We, the STAFF OF THE 1954 TALIS- MAN, are attempting to picture by means of this yearbook, a few of the outstanding events and pleasant memories which we have experienced while ascending the stairway to our Senior year. Though the future holds a different course for each of us, we shall always look back and remember the years we spent together at Pitman High. They have attributed much toward help- ing us attain our individual goals. We hope our class, now and in later life, will find in this record endless pleasure and satisfaction. Kathryn Knight and Barbara Shreeves C0-Editors Uflifil' NWI AU REVOIR We, the graduating class of 1954, Are leaving Pitman High School now to enter it no moreg The time has come when we must leave these doors of Pitman High, And to these rooms and halls and books we all must say good-bye. No longer will our voices ring from these familiar walls, No longer will we wander down these now so noisy halls, Yes, now the time has come when each shall go on his own way, And never shall we meet again, a group, as on this day. We look back on the dances, our classes, and the plays, They all were filled with work and fun and were such happy days. The memories of our football games and good old high school cheer Are mingled with the lines of our own alma mater dear. Before we leave, we'd like to give some good advice to you, Of things which in your high school years, you should or shouldn't do Remember well, no matter what the situation be, Make sure you keep your spirit up, the first necessity. And when you plan to do a thing keep at it till it's done, It may be lots of work and all, but pays in lots of fun. And as a last word to you all weld surely like to say, The one big thing'that's on our minds, this graduation day, May every class feel just as we as time goes marching by, XVe're proud of being graduates of dear old Pitman High. kutlz IC Wells With sincere acknowledgment of her dynamic personality and true appreciation of her untiring efforts as our guide, helper, conidante, and friend during our high school years, we, the Class of 195 4, do hereby dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Ruth K. Wells. 0 HIMTIWV - In sincere appreciation, we, the Class of 1954, pay tribute to Miss Iva M. Collins, who retired in June, 1953. For many years we have known Miss Collins as an earnest teacher and faithful friend of Pitman High School. We feel that she has won everlasting respect among us. lllb' TE lm M. 64115115 n 7 Q-. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1954 Your four years at Pitrrian High School have contributed to your social, physical and mental de-- velopment to prepare you to take your rightful place in society with credit to yourself and your school. It is my sincere hope that the knowledge and skills which you have learned, the attitudes and np- preciations which you have acquired, and the lasting friendships you have made will make possible your continued enjoyment of life, as you journey up its stairway. JATCIMMMJM AMI! IWIM T10 To the Class of 1954: By chance on earth's best spot we live. What more to us can Fortune give? No more, perhaps, unless a dream Soft-lit by moon and starry beam. A dream where starlight lifts night's Yet gilds a staircase to the clouds, From which we gaze with Fancy's fire Upon the world of our desire. A world in which we see as real The substance of our soul's ideal. QDreams scarcely are a waste of time If they take us to heights sublime., May the stars' best favors lie in store For the Class of Nineteen Fifty-four! shrouds, is Lats Tflllifflld STAFF First row: Mrs. Chiumento, K.

On the starry night of May 1, 1953, young couples danced in the heavenly atmosphere created by the Slairway io fbi' Stars. As Dan H:1nna's orchestra played the theme song, the Queen, Judy Leisy, was led to her throne by the Junior Class president, Fred Hasher. At the stroke of midnight escort cars arrived to chauffeur the couples to the theater, where they viewed the movie, Bafilc' Circus. A few hours later the couples arrived at the Masonic Hall which had been transformed into a night club. There they enjoyed the Four Aces, the Maty s Brothers, and many other outstanding enter- tainers. The climax to the perfect night was the delicious breakfast served at the Episcopal Parish House. As the stars faded, each couple, tired but happy, turned toward home, greatly appreciative of the hard work and the great interest of everyone who provided them with such a memorable night.

The cast included Howard Wetzell as Bill, a boy who tried to grow up in a hurry and suddenly found himself in love with Kitty QVirginia Fullerl, his father's secretary. To complicate matters, Bill had flunked his make-up exam in history which made him ineligible to play in the homecoming football game. In the last act Bill got another chance at the exam which restored his eligibility to play, and also brought him together with his high . s school steady, Belinda fMarilyn Rickertj. Others in the cast were: Harry Lang, Flor- ence Lentz, Jordan Dono- van, John Knisell, Betty Lee Snell, Barbara Shreeves, Jake Muntz, Janet Ulery, and George Kelly. The play was directed by Mrs. Ruth K. Wells. gk- sf U MN llli5'WA'F As the stars faded on that all important day in September, 1950, we, the Class of 1954, entered Pitman High School to begin our eventful climb up the stairway to success. Aided by our advisers, Mrs. Wells and Mr. Bloomingdale, we elected our officers. Those elected were: President, Howard Williams, Vice-president, Harry Lang, Secretary, Gail Owen, Treasurer, Florence Lentz. Our first social event was the Freshman Party, sponsored by the P. T. A. The only other project which started our treasury and brought our Hrst year to a successful close was the sale of programs at the football and basketball games. September, 1951, arrived. With the same advisers and officers, we anxiously looked forward to the Sophomore events. Early in the year we selected a green, black, and white banner designed by Kathryn Knight. Later we sponsored a pie and cake sale in order to raise money for the Sophomore Hop, which was held in May, 1952. For this event we used the oriental garden scene which the Juniors so beautifully prepared for their prom. June suddenly came, and we found ourselves promoted to jolly Juniors. We, donning our class rings, entered our Junior year with high ambitions. This year's election tallies showed: President, Fred Hasherg Vice-president, Howard Williams, Secretary, Barbara Shreevesg Treasurer, Florence Lentz. Again Mrs. Wells and Mr. Bloomingdale were our advisers. Immediately, we went to work on the concession stand. This was followed by the magazine drive. The biggest project of the year, however, was the sale of Christmas candy. On March 13 and 14, the Junior Play, Those Websters, directed by Mrs. Wells, was presented. This, like many P. H. S. productions, was viewed by enthusiastic audiences. At last we reached that momentous event-the Junior-Senior Prom. Our enter- tainment continued far into the night, as we followed the many events planned for us. This long-remembered night was still being discussed, when we received the results of the exams that concluded the year. At last! Dignified Seniors! Onward we went to add more steps to those we had already climbed. In our class elections the following officers were chosen: President, Fred Hasherg Vice-president, Pete McEvoy, Secretary, Barbara Shreevesg Treasurer, Florence Lentz. Mrs. Wells and Mr. Powell were our advisers. This year's money-making projects included the concession stand, the magazine drive, and the sale of football badges, peanut brittle and Christmas candy. April came, and with it our Senior trip. The trip was wonderful, and will not be forgotten. In May, we were guests at the beautiful Prom sponsored by'the Class of 1955 After the Prom we put pleasure behind us and settled down to work very hard to pass our exams. We all crossed our fingers and awaited the outcomes. Then came the whirl of Baccalaureate Services, the Senior banquet, and, finally graduation. Our climb had ended. The top had been reached successfully. We said good-by to our happy school days.

As our first activity, we clected the following ofhcers: Hugh Zanger, President, Harry Gray, Vice-president, Jo Furfari, Secretary, Richard Peacock, Treasurer. Among the other projects was the Freshman Party. We appreciated the Work of the P. T. A. which sponsored this party and made it so enjoyable to all who attended.
