Maier Achievements Mark As We don our caps and gowns in preparation for The Loveliest Night of the Year, we pause in recalling memories of the many events which studded our four years at PHS. As freshmen, 'way back in September of '54, we wondered if we lost chords would ever be a part of the rhythmic pattern of Plainfield High. We struck the first notes by electing Peter Saidel as president and the tuneful ensemble of Ira Bloom, Susan Fickett, and Robert Levine to help him. Our Hrst social event, the Freshman Party, was a wonderful success, and that same year we instituted a scholarship fund to be given to a member of our class at graduation. We returned to PHS as sophomores, eager to embark on a new year which seemed Hlled with added respon- sibilities and new experiences. A new quartet, consisting of Peter Saidel, Virginia Barlow, joan Desvernine, and Robert Levine, was formed, and once again we became busy with class activities. PHS sweethearts were sold to aid our scholarship fund, and our Sophomore Dance, the Leprachun Leap, was An Affair to Remember. Our second year ended on a high note, and we awaited our return to PHS as upperclassmen. With our brand new class rings gleaming on our fingers, we began our junior year with enthusiasm. We elected Peter Saidel president, with Arthur Edwards, Dorothy Voogd, and Robert Levine working harmoni- ously to make this year even better than the two previous ones. An Evening in Paris was enjoyed at our junior- Senior Dance, and the Prom, Shang-ri-la, was a social event about which many of us are still singing. On a Hnancial level, a tidy sum was added once again to our scholarship fund, thanks to sales from sweatshirts. With three wonderful years behind us, and the mos-t impor- tant one coming up in the fall, we were Sitting on Top of the World.

Class of '58's Record Finally the all-important senior year was upon us, and we enjoyed the distinction of being the graduating class of Plainfield High. With Peter Saidel serving once again as president, and Arthur Edwards, Dorothy Voogd, and Robert Levine as the other ofiicers, the class worked as a unit to make the last year a memorable one. Our Senior Play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, starred Bonnie Lee Friday and Margie Gonzalez. Student Coun- cil functioned more efficiently than ever with joseph Hines, Tim Hall, joan Rapps, and James Shrager as ofiicers. The Entree went to press with Connie Genard as Editor-in-Chief, and Maxine Tepper edited the Mile- rtone. We all went Around the World in Eighty Days at the junior-Senior Dance, and once again, the Prom was one of the most important Social highlights of the year. Along with the excitement of approaching gradu- ation, we felt sad at the thought of leaving PHS and our many friends, to go our separate ways. We, the class of 1958, have had an eventful four year at Plainfield High, owing much of our success to our adviser, Mr. Lonsky, and the other members of the staff. From those lost chords we have built a strong memorable melody to linger on in the years to come. SENIOR CLASS COUNCIL-E. Lon- sky, P. Saidel, B. Edwards, D. Voogd, R. Levine. Second row: E.
