PHS GOES HOLLYWOOD THE 1934 MILESTUNE PRESENTED BY PLAINFIELD PLAINFIELD, HE SENIOR CLASS HIGH SCHOOL NEW JERSEY Oe DOK Ge Y, 0 LS aa ie, To Edward J. Burns, whose sincere interest and ceaseless guidance has brought us to the heights of stardom, we, the class of 1954, dedicate our Milestone. Mr. Burns attended the Corpus Christi grammar school in New York City, which features progressive education. He is proud to have been a student of this school, one of the most famous grade schools in the country. During the following years at the High School of Commerce, he was an active participant in athletics. After his graduation from high school, Mr. Burns served in the United States Air Force. His duties during the next three years carried him from the scuthwest to Newfoundland, Africa, Italy, and Germany. At Columbia University, Mr. Burns received his bachelor of science and arts degrees. In August of 1949, he completed his education, and in September of that same year, assumed his new duties at PHS. Mr. Burns finds working with the faculty at PHS a true source of enjoy- ment and cooperation. This driving instructor at PHS rates high on the popularity polls of the student body. We are humbly appreciative of his kindness and friendly interests, and sincerely hope that future classes of PHS will have the opportunity to benefit by his helpful guidance. DIRECTURS ANU PRUUJULERS MR. HELD We can never forget the inspir- ing talks in assembly by our principal, Warren H. Held, whose friendly interest helped promote better understanding between the students and the faculty. MR.

Last night, November 6, marked the opening performance of THE CURIOUS SAVAGE, a presenta- tion by the Senior Class of P.HLS. In the leading role of Ethel Savage was Gail Logan, who excellently portrayed an old eccentric lady with a $10 million fortune. Her sons, Titus and Samuel were played by Michael Gutkin and Tim Minar respectively. Marilyn Tobin played the daughter Lilly Belle. Others in the cast included Myron Margolin as “Dr. Emmett,’ and Janet Weber as “Miss Willie,” his nurse. The inmates of the institution were: Mary Johnson— “Maizie’; Paula Blackman—‘‘Flor- ence’; Kathrine Von Kay—''Mrs. Paddy”; John Mastriana as ‘‘Jeff’’ ; and Gerry Flanzbaum as ‘“Han- nibal.” The excellent work of the stage crews was evidenced in the very effective lighting and authentic scenery and sets. Due to a power failure at the final curtain, Miss Mixer, the coach, received her bouquet of gold chrys- anthemums by flashlight. This token of appreciation was given to her with these words: ‘‘For all the patience you have had and all the help you have given us, the cast of THE CURIOUS SAVAGE says thanks.”’ This play started off a prosperous season for the Seniors.

Mr, Charles Detgen [50] JUNIUR CLASS We've made our debut! We're upperclassmen! When we started as Freshmen we were just extras wandering around this vast lot looking for work. Directed and prompted by our principal, Mr. Kindig, our classmaster, Mr. Detgen, and our counselors, we passed our screen test and were admitted onto the set. We decided that since we had a bit part to play, we would do our best, and so we elected Ronald Bender for our president, with Sydell Ruskin, Gretchen Rademaker, and Tony Curreri as his assistants. During this first year, we initiated the procedure of homeroom visitation, and our parents had a chance to supervise our working conditions. All along we had been improving our “takes”; in fact our first amateur attempt, the Freshman Party, was a hit. Then came our sophomore year, and we “‘wise fools’ delegated George Friedlander to be our leading man, Toni Smith, Gretchen Rademaker, and Tony Curreri playing the supporting roles. That year, too, we presented an original production—the messenger service—which is now a traditional Sophomore honor. On Friday, the 13th of March, 1953, we sponsored our Sophomore dance, the Lucky Leap, celebrating our second year on location. This year, as Juniors, we stepped before the cameras and played our first parts as upperclassmen. Our production manager was David Nicholas; his assistants included Toni Smith, Louise Britton, and Agent Tony Curreri. Due to the influence of TV, we found we had to supplement our income by selling PHS buttons for our class fund. The two stupendous events of the year were our Junior-Senior Dance and the Junior-Senior Prom, which we will always remember. Next year we hope to make our Senior year a real box-office sellout and after putting one first star on our dressing room door, we know we'll be able to climb to the dizzy heights of stardom with many colassal productions behind us.

We chose as leading actors for our debut Robert Kelly, Jerry O'Sullivan, Ilene Gartenberg, and Loretta Spiegal. Our first social affair was our Freshman Party where we all had a chance to meet some of our fellow classmates. During football season, we felt like a bigger part of the school as we cheered our team on to victory. We also participated in the inter class plays. As Sophomores, we had made ourselves known around the theaters of Hollywood. We participated more in Student Council and worked on com- mittees. We chose as leaders for our second year Brent Mauro, Jerry O'Sullivan, Ginger Predmore, and Ilene Gartenberg.

The upper classmen tried their best to fool us by telling the old story about the elevators. We were not as naive as they thought us to be. They couldn’t fool us with the tale that we should let seniors ahead of us in lunch line—we were too smart for them. We started our formal filming on Freshman Day when we met our director Mr. Held and his producers, who were to guide us through- out the coming four years. Those chosen to play the first leads in our class production were Claude Sutton, president; Sheldon Baroff, vice-president; Janet James, secretary; and Sherry Welles, treasurer. We were very fortunate in having the personable Mr. William V. Sette as our class master for he gave the class valuable guidance. We showed the rest of PHS that we were going to be active on the lot by taking part in Band, Freshman Drama Club, Student Council, Library Council, Freshman Football, and many other clubs. We had a gala premiere that night of December 4, 1953 when our freshman party was held. The class of 1957 began to make history that night when two hundred of us attended the affair. It was a tremendous financial and social success. We had a wonderful time getting to know all the freshman. It was a wonderful year on the lot of PHS.

Plainfield’s ’53 grid show got under way Saturday, September 26, against the Long Branch High School eleven. A thirty-yard pass by Wathers to Frusco early in the first quarter accounted for Plainfield’s sole touch- down. Long Branch tied the score (7-7) in the second quarter and went on to win in the fourth (14-7). The following Saturday, the Cards ran into trouble. Capitalizing on Cardinal weak points, Columbia came through with a (32-0) victory. Stepping into the limelight once again, this time against a hard fighting Bound Brook squad, the Cards won by a score of (14-0). A first period pass by Walthers to Bernstein accounted for Plainfield’s first T.D. A fourth quarter interception by Bob Castles, and hard running by ‘Fanny’ Grimes and Doug Werner sewed things up as the Red Birds came through with the seasons first victory. Sparkling detensive play high-lighted a game hard fought to the end. In their next game the Cards were hampered by a strong Perth Amboy team (20-0). Due to fumbling, Plaintield’s offense never really got rolling. Pertn Amboy however collected touchdowns in tne fist, second and fourth quarters to cop the contest. Against Asbury Park, the Cards displayed some of their great potential power. After vainly trying to stop two first half Asbury touchdowns, the Red Birds came back to score a touchdown on the kickoff opening the second half. Pete Byrne ran ninety-five yards behind perfect blocking for the score. Plainfield dominated play in the second half, although Asbury did score twice more via an intercepted pass and a Cardinal fumble. The Cards put on a great show in a battle hotly contested all the way. The closest game of the season was played against Thomas Jefferson. After an early Tee-Jay touchaown, the game stalled, neither team gaining much advan- tage. Late in the fourth quarter, Jefferson’s Queen intercepted a pass for a touchdown, Minutes tater the Cards scored their only touchdown, led by Pete Byrne, Doug Werner and George Freeman. Jefferson tock the decision (14-7). In a rare display of power, the Canucks won the traditional P.H.S.-N.P.H.S. game. Bicknell, their quarterback raced around end for thirty-nine yards, setting up the first Canuck touchdown. Plainfield made several bids for a comeback but they never crossed the goal line. The Ganucks drove over once again in the fourth quarter to end the scoring at (14-0). Atlantic City’s experienced eleven also proved too much for the Cards. A costly Atlantic City intercep- tion lead to their first touchdown. Plainfield bounced back with hard running by Freeman, Frusco and Werner to score and took the lead (7-6). The Vikings however, scored in the late second, third and fourth quarters to win (39-6). Playing their best game of the season the Cards romped over their traditional rivals from Westfield (25-6). They out-fought, out-thought, and generally out-classed the Westfield eleven, Scoring in every period, Kenny Moon, Walter French, Lou Frusco and George Freeman accounted for Plainfield’s TD's. Alert Red Bird defensive play rounded out the Thanksgiving Day Classic. First Row, left to right: B. Santangelo, L. Pisellto, M. Kadesh, J. O'Sullivan, A. Grifa, T. Franklin, T. D’Dario, J. Colucci.
