We, the staff, hope that when you open this Talisman live, ten, or twenty years from now, your memories will be borught back with such clarity that it will seem only yesterday that you left school. During our stay in Pitman 'High School we have learned how to work together through the guidance of our patient teachers, reassuring parents, and everlasting friends. Many of our activities have helped us to earn money and above all, have made our achievements through competition worthwhile. We usually began these functions with work and worry, yet, we always managed to end them with a smile. While studying our subjects, worrying about the next days test and working together in various student organizations, we had an opportunity for knowledge and experience. Our sports eventsefootball, hockey, basketball, baseball, and trackeproved to us that it is possible to be a sport during victory or defeat. By all of these, our high school goals have been fulfilled. Now as we leave our alma mater to meet the challenging paths of the world, we hope that this yearbook will remind us of the happy times we have experienced. mee Metal Herelx a song to Pitman High School Rally to the call; Make it three times three, Oh students, Sing it, one and all. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, All will back thee true, And will make thy halls and portals Ring with triumphs new. Herels to you, dear Alma Mater, Best one of them all; Though the miles may stand between us Welll come at thy call. Once more we sing to Pitman High School Praise her to the sky. Shels the pride of fair New Jersey; Hail to Pitman High. Herehs to thee, dear Alma Mater; Still our hearty will burn; Even after graduation T here our steps will turn. Sing! Oh, xing, ye sons and daughters, Shout in glad refrain; Our beloved Alma Mater Praixe we once again. 9549M Xian MR. EDGAR N OORIGAN We, the class of n eteen hundred and hft ve, , dedicate this Talisman to Mr. Edgar Noorigan. He , rim who is so upright, democratic, and persevering taught ' ' ' a us the importance of friendship and understanding. Equipped with the confldence and courage he gave us during our high school days, we stride forth with heads high to make our way in the world of tomorrow. We honor him because we are grateful for having had him as a teacher, as an adviser, and as a friend during our stay in Pitman High School. II gmlffuie MISS SARAH WEATHERWAX With deepest gratitude we, the class of nineteen hundred and flfty-fwe, offer to Miss Sarah A. Weatherwax a tribute for her services as our class adviser during her last three years at Pitman High School. It is our firm conviction that we have profited by her guidance and support in all of our undertakings. We hope that all the days of her retirement will be happy ones. MR. L.

The 1955 Talisman, compiled by a loyal and indus- trious staff chosen in the spring of our junior year, reviews the numerous curricular and extra-curricular activities of Pitman High School. This required many long hours of hard work for the various staff members. Under the capable supervision of Mrs. Chiumento, our adviser, co-editors Jane Kohl and Nancy Robertson, the book was completed so that many can relive the memories within. Beth Scull, Howard Liddle and Wes Hoffman plan the attractive art work. Diligently pounding at the typewriter, Faye Goodrich, Business Manager, prepares the advertisements.

N ancy Ro - ettson Bob Parvin Earl Hoffman Mickey Pierce 34 Class History Early in September, 1951, we, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-flve, entered the portals of Pitman High School to begin our secondary edu- cation. First in the line of activities was the election of class offlcers. W ith the aid of our advisers, Miss Weatherwax and Mr. Noorigan, we tallied the votes. The results were as follows: president, Jack Emery; Vice-president, William Fox; secretary, Judy New- kirk; treasurer, Sandie Morris. The Freshman Party, sponsored by the P. T. A., was the biggest social event of the year. The only other project which started our treasury was the sale of programs at the football and basketball games. June soon came and we settled down for our first exams. With the coming of fall, 1952,- we selected our leaders for our Sophomore year, with Jack Emery, president; Richard Burnett, vice-president; Judy Newkirk, secretary; and Lois Haight, treas- urer. Our advisers, Miss Weatherwax and Mr. Noori- gan, guided us in our two successful activities, the cake sale and the Sophomore Hop. The decorations from the Junior-Senior Prom, tiA Stairway to the Stars? made a beautiful setting for our dance. After exams we looked forward to being upper- classmen. As Juniors, we discovered we had many more responsibilities. Our class officers were Rich- ard Burnett, president; Frank Fletcher, vice-presi- dent; Judy Newkirk, secretary; and Lois Haight, treasurer. Again our advisers this year were Miss Weatherwax and Mr. Noorigan. Our class rings arrived early in November. Soon afterwards we proudly presented to the school a beautiful blue, gold, and black banner, designed by Wes Hoffman. Money was earned through the sale of football programs, Christmas cards, Christmas candy, maga- zines, and Easter candy. By this time our treasury was beginning to swell rapidly. The Easter vacation of 1953 arrived. We had just enough time to relax before resuming work, for this time work meant our prom. Many afternoons and evenings of hard work went into the develop- ment of the theme, ttA Garden in the Rain, which made this one of the most extraordinary dances in the history of Pitman High School. Of course, itall good things must come to an end, for again, exams were upon us. After a summer of relaxation and fun, we found that we had reached the top rung of the ladder. Now we were the sophisticated seniors! As such, we wisely chose the following leaders: Jack Emery, president; F rank Fletcher, vice-presi- dent; Judy Newkirk, secretary; Lois Haight, treas- urer. Miss Grazel and Mr. Noorigan had the important task of guiding us in this, our most important year. As our first money-making project, we tackled the concession stand. As weeks rolled by, profit was continuously added to the class treasury by the sale of magazines, peanut brittle, and Christmas candy. On November 11 and 12 we visited the United Nations, Radio City Music Hall and the RCA. Building in New York City. This was just a sample of what we could expect from our annual class trip. Early in February the Booster Club awarded beautiful white blazers to the varsity members of the hockey and basketball teams for having won the Tri-County crown in each sport. Then, work was begun on the Senior Play. After reading many plays we decided on iiGoodbye, My Fancy, a comedy in three acts. A fine cast, hard work, and the able directing and coaching of Miss Seitzinger made this undertaking a successful achievement. Next is the memory of the spring vacation of 1955. During this time a number of us took the annual class trip to Washington for three days. Many new and interesting places and things in our nations capital were visited. How can anyone who . attended ever forget the good time had by all? Early in May, we, as guests, attended the Junior-Senior Prom. Congratulations to the Juniors for the glorious occasion! Since June was right around the corner, peace and quiet reigned for a few weeks. We settled down to prepare for the final exams which we all hoped to pass. Finally, the whirl of Baccalaureate Services, the senior banquet and commencement completed our memories of Pitman High School. This, our history, represents the happy days we spent in P.H.S. We are grateful to all who helped make them so pleasant. There must be something wrong with my eyes. I cank seem to see anything but you? .ww-m. mij 'x Ila , SENIOR PLAY GOODB YE, MY FANCY A Comedy In Three Acts by Fay Kanin Under the direction of Miss Jacqueline A.

The queen is led to her throne. 36 in our eyes . .. ttGarden in the Raint, was the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom presented on May 7, 1954. The theme and its execution were indeed breath-taking for they transformed an ordinary school gym into a profuse array of flowering springtime. To the tunes of Rip Turnefs orchestra, more than 135 couples danced and enjoyed themselves in the midst of such splendor. The climax to this phase of Prom Night was the coronation of Barbara Shreeves. At the stroke of midnight, escort cars arrived to chauffeur the couples to the Broadway Theatre, where they viewed ttRed Garters? At. 2:45 A. M., once again the motorcade swung into action as each couple was taken to the Pitman Masonic Hall which was changed into the wonders of Hawaii. There they enjoyed Marco Polo, Bill Haley, Art Lund, Sandy Stewart, and other artists of the entertainment world. As daylight dawned, a delicious breakfast was served at the Episcopal Parish House. But as everyone knows, all good things must come to an end. Thus, tired but starry-eyed, the participants turned toward home, greatly apprecia- tive of the hard work and great interest of everyone who provided them with such a glorious occasion. Dick Burnett, class president, crowns the queen. The queen and her attendants: Linda Schneeman, Pat Hummell, Carole Shirley, Marilyn Rickert, Queen Bar- bara Shteevea, Paula Shaffer, Ruth Dipper, Arlene Howarth and Jane Kohl. Marian, Dave, Carol and Jack arrive at the theatre. Elaine and Dick join in The Bunny Hop. Barbara, Lanny and their friends enjoy the uPause that Refreshesy 38 Marco Polo, popular recording star, entertain: the crowd. Jimmy Lynn, popular emcee who ob- tained the talent.

Reid and President Burnett pre- pared the agenda for the council meetings which were held every Wed- nesday during the activity period. The Student Council is the governing body of the Student Association, to the membership of which all students are eligible. Within the power of its jurisdiction, the Council takes care of all problems which vitally concern the welfare of the school. For 1954-1955 the student body elected the following leaders: President, Richard Burnett; Vice President, Linwood Drummond; Secretary, Marie Geiger; Treasurer, Linda Schneeman; Alternate Secretary, Sandra Murphy. The council worked very efficiently under the able supervision of faculty adviser, Mrs. Ella Reid. Some of its successful activities were a movie bene- fit, the preparation of Christmas baskets, and the Christmas and Farewell Dances. First Row.- H. Friedrich, E. Wickland, K. Williams, M.

The members do not contend to be proflcient typists, however, they can be proud of the achieve- ment acquired from the guidance of their adviser, Miss Reeves. Typing Club The main purpose of the F.T.A., which was started in September of 1952, is to acquaint high school students with the teaching profession. Mem- bers visit various schools in order to observe the methods employed. Mrs. Jugel, the adviser, guides the visitations which are planned by the club officers. First Row: M. Boldrick, M. Parker, L.

RAnd she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people? QiAnd suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, . . . And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Christmas Pageant On Sunday, December 12, 1954, under the able direction of Mrs. Laird, the combined choruses of the elementary and high schools presented the tenth annual Christmas pageant. The gymnasium, beautifully transformed into the semblance of a church with its stained-glass windows and appropriate decorations, provided the setting. Properties. unusual and unique in their construction and appearance, were done under the guidance of Mrs. Reiniger, art supervisor. Charac- ters traditional to enacting and telling again the Christmas story were students costumed by Miss Simmons. Warren Carr, the Narrator, interwove the action with music by Scripture. Jack Sankey was the organist. Instrumental music, directed by Mr. Tomei, created background for several chorus selections. Several high school students presented vocal and instrumental solos. The beautiful setting and the welI-trained choruses and soloists combined to make this an outstanding production. This trio of models in assorted weskit styles is enough to strike up the band! The models are: Ina McAnally, Darla Dee Hammond, and Linda Ingram. Ina McAnally model: an outfit created for relaxation - a perky pullover with toreador pedal pushets. Various examples of tables, lamps, and book lhelvel proved that the boyl are creative. too. tLOVELY TO H; , M nu an .m s z.- yuy- 7,152.4 9, N .- Fashion, Craft, The annual fashion show given by the girls who take sewing was held on May 4, 1954. ttLovely to Look Attt was a very appropriate title for the huge page of sheet music which was used as a background. With the theme ttFashion Notesh, the girls came out to display the garments they had made during the year. Among the styles shown were cotton dresses, skirts, suits and evening dresses. Popular music related to the type garment being modeled was supplied by Jack Sankey at the piano. The display, which was guided by Miss Simmons, proved to be a beautiful and successful one. Along with the fashion show was the exhibit of the shop and art departments. The many beau- tiful projects proved that Pitman High has many unusually talented students in these departments, supervised by Mr. Plum, Mr. Traub, and Mr. Snoke. - in interesting array of charcoal leetches added interest to the show. 62 The Pitman High School Driver Education Program, which was introduced in September, 1953, has been hailed as a very beneficial step in the training of teen-age drivers. Under the direction of Mr. Traub, stu- dents learn the fundamental driving skills. These range from the simple starting and stop- ping to the more difficult such as parallel park- ing and turning between curbs. There is also classroom instruction in which the learner is taught the rules and regulations of driving. After completing a nine week course, the students are eligible to take the state examin- ation. If they pass and most P.H.S. stu- dents doD, their names are added to the list of safe and competent driversethanks to Mr. Traub! First Row: Mr. Traub, R. Pye, D. Furfari, A. Skinner, J. Kohl, N.
