wie entor Gin O PLAINFIELD HIGH SCHOOL resents... Published By Plainfield High School Plainfield, New Jersey Foreword What is the Milestone? Milestone is the annual report of the activities and personalities of Plainfield High School explained in words and pictures. Milestone is also a repository of memories contained between the covers of a book. Milestone portrays the joy of companionship; the excitement of athletic competitions; the orderly confusion of changing classes; the frustra- tion of examinations; and, finally, the goal—graduation. In Plainfield High School, all of these things are symbolized by the cardinal, a bird. The very word cardinal embraces almost all of the aspects of our high school. It begins with the cardinal numbers one, two, three, and four, for the years we have spent here; it includes the cardinal virtues of justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude; it glows with cardinal red for the brightness of high school life; its rays extend to the cardinal points of the compass: North, East, South, and West; and it is the keynote of the years we have spent at P.H.S.

May we continue to grow in wisdom and understanding by developing our God given abili- ties; thus, we can complete the cycle which began here. oe Faculty aS BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to right: George P.

Cole, secretary-business manager; Daniel Eisenberg, and Charles Davies, supervisor of buildings and grounds. Behind the Scenes Our Friends Education is a privilege for all Americans but especially so in Plainfield, where a group of capable and enthusiastic peo- ple concern themselves with our welfare. Although we have not VICTOR J. PODESTA had the opportunity to get to Superintendent know all of these gentlemen personally, we are aware that by their devoted interest to the educational system in Plainfield, we have received twelve years of commendable education. It is possible at this time to get acquainted with the people who have afforded us so many opportunities. Mr. Victor J. Podesta, our new Superintendent of Schools, has successfully taken over the post which Mr. Ross M. Gill had held so well. The Superintendent, his assistant, and the Board of Education work expeditiously and with interest so that our school system operates efficiently. We sincerely thank these people for our many opportunities and will not forget their concern for us. CLAYTON R. BROWER Assistant Superintendent ADMINISTRATORS Left to right: Joseph E.

We have been fortu- JEAN FRANCIS nate in having Mr. War- Vice-Principal ren Held as our school principal for our entire four years here. During this time, many of us have come to know him personally and are aware of his friendliness and capabilities. He has done much to promote better understanding between students and faculty. Al- though Dr. Jean Francis has been with us only two years, she has become an integral part of life at P.H.S. Her interest in us, both individually and as a class, has encouraged us to strive toward our goals. Our assistant administrators, Mr. Henry Banta and Mr. Joseph Passerella, have been much more than supervisors; they have been good friends and hard workers in our behalf. At this time we feel it fitting to mention our class adviser, Mr. A. Hamilton Otto, who is highly esteemed by every member of the class of '59. We feel it a privilege to have been acquainted with such a fine adminis- MR. WARREN H. HELD, Principal Principal's Message for the 1959 Milestone We have a proud history as a four-year school. Thousands of our graduates can be found in all parts of the world, in all types of professions and occupa- tions, contributing to the needs and to the advance- ment of the human race. We are proud of their achievements and proud of the fact that our alumni come from every kind of social, economic, racial and religious background. We are proud of you, more than 2000 of you, who have made up our student body this year. You have 10 already achieved in many areas. You have produced champions in academic areas as well as in athletics, music, drama, publications and other activities. P.H.S. will continue in its proud history. As a three- year senior high school, there can be still more oppor- tunity for achievement. With our long history of achievement, our excellent faculty, our strong school spirit and the facilities which our community provides for us, there is every prospect that we shall continue to break records, to produce champions, and to send good men and women out into the world. Thank You! = A. HAMILTON OTTO, Class Adviser The senior class wishes to express its sincere appreciation of the help given and interest shown in its activities by Mr. A. H. Otto. In his capacity as class adviser, he has had to contend with problems and situations which, at times, made demands upon his patience; but his never-failing guidance and advice have prevailed to our benefit. We hope that he will continue to guide our successors in the same way; we know that they will appreciate him. ua! : GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT Left to right: John J. Sierge, placement counselor: Eugene Hubka, Jean Francis, vice-principal: Eleanor C. Henderson, Nellie P. Hastings, William V. Sette. A Road Map to the Future PLANNING FOR’ THE FUTURE — Mrs. Eleanor Henderson discusses the future with Barbara Welles, one of the many girls who come to her Office every day. 12 Even before we enter Plainfield High School, our counselors meet with us to help plan our four-year high school education. Not only do they plan a schedule which fits our abilities, but they also take our future plans and interests into consideration. After we have entered Plainfield High School, our counselors help us with any personal problems that might arise, in addition to any of our scholastic problems. College-bound students find that the Guidance Department is a most necessary element, helping the students to select colleges best suited to their special interests and abilities. The non-college students find it equally helpful in their special problems. The job of the Placement Counselor is to find part-time jobs for students and to help them find full-time jobs after gradu- ation. As a result of the combined efforts of the entire Guidance Office, the P.H.S. graduates find them- selves adequately prepared for the business world and colleges of their choice. WHICH COLLEGE FOR ME? — Counselor Eugene Hubka tries to help Bobby Marcus answer a most important future question. PeRR TAPE LED Rt ENGLISH DEPARTMENT First Row: Ann C. Gebhard, Alice L.

There is no better place to master the specific skills necessary to enable students to use acceptable grammatical forms, spell accurately, write legibly, and read with increased comprehension than in the English classes of Plainfield High School. Mr. Strub, as new head of the English Depart- ment, has upheld the standard of the department as the backbone of the science of education. He and the other English teachers have endeavored to teach pupils to organize their thinking, to follow instructions, to interpret directions accurately, to read current publications intelligently, to listen effectively and critically, and to speak pleasantly and clearly. ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION—Miss Elizabeth Hage- man discusses a portion of a book with Ann Tierno, Edna Santangelo, and Carol Nittoli.

Standing: The Present Mirrors the Past Making a trip around the world is not something that many people have the opportunity of under- taking, but there is something almost as satisfying right here at Plainfield High School. Through the study of varying types of history and geography, a student finds it easy to imagine that he is living in ancient Egypt or trudging the battlefields of the two recent world wars. When it comes to studying the United Nations, the student does not find it necessary to imagine, for a yearly trip is conducted to the U. N. Film strips, movies, and outside speakers are supple- ments to classroom work. 14 Through the study of the Problems of American Democracy, we find pupils learning to appreciate the true significance of equality, democracy, liberty, and freedom. These concepts are more than just the words upon which ideal living is based. In addition to the regular courses in history, World Geography, and Social Studies, the department offers a course exploring the fundamental principles of social psychology and one in economics. Whatever the course selected, the student has the opportunity to learn democratic principles and prac- tice them to his utmost advantage. Facts 'N’ Figures Can you think of anything that has become more prominent in the world today than mathematics? Mathematics is the basis of many sciences; and, aware of this prominence and our need for skill in this field, our competent mathematics teachers are ready to plant qur footsteps firmly on the path of exactness, and to guide us along the way toward mastery of this science. Our mathematics department can help all of its students to learn all the types of mathematics from the simplest to the most difficult. Capability and enthusiasm are the only qualities needed for acquiring the knowledge. This year a Mathematics 4X class was added to the curriculum. This class is to emphasize the study of trigonometric analysis and advanced algebra, Some special projects included in the year's pro- gram are Pi Mu Epsilon Mathematics contest,. the New Jersey State Mathematics contest, and the nation-wide contest sponsored jointly by the Mathe- matical Association of America and the Society of Actuaries.

The Plainfield High School Science Department, recognizing the importance of science in today's world, presents to each student modern and up-to-date courses. On the college preparatory level, students are offered College Preparatory Biology, chemistry, and physics, with emphasis on laboratory experimentation and original thinking. For students taking a general course, the department includes such subjects as General Biology, Chemistry, and General Science. The ultimate goal is to develop thinking, capable men and women, each of whom can contribute to the welfare of mankind. BONING UP ON BOYLE'S LAW — Mv.

COMPRENEZ VOUS? — Mr. Edwin Faust teaches his period 3-|W the basics of French. What would happen if a P.H.S. student made a journey to a foreign country? . . . Of course! he'd probably have to speak the native tongue. Many of these students would feel quite at home bec ause they have taken advantage of one of the three year courses offered in French, Spanish, or German. Right here at P.H.S. he might find that his own English vocabulary has improved because he has learned to understand the foreign derivations of English words. Speaking, comprehending, reading, and writing the language are the main objectives of the modern language class. This year special emphasis has been placed on oral recitation. Conversational French is offered to students of second and third year French. Students in the four year Latin course learn:to read Latin literature of the classical authors and to improve their English vocabulary. A number of activities, inc luding regional contests and clubs for each of the four languages, are conducted during the year; and at the annual language banquets students can don native dress and partake of foreign foods. LEARNING LATIN—Jo Ellen Bronstein shows Miss Horn's second period 2W class how to conjugate an irregular verb. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Left to right: Rose Franco, Ellen M. Stubbs, Robert 1.

Our Do It Yourself Program Do you relish the thought of becoming an efficient homemaker? Are you seeking the opportunity to work with tools and machinery, or are a paintbrush and pallet more to your liking? Whatever the desire, the Industrial, Home and Fine Arts Department is ready to prepare students for a useful and satisfactory future by teaching them to use their hands as well as their heads. Fine Arts students learn principles and elements of design as well as basic fundamentals. To prepare food, plan meals, and buy wisely are the objectives of the Home Arts course. Additional fields covered are grooming, social etiquette, sewing, selection of mate- rials, and interior decorating. Modern Living helps to prepare students for serene human relationships, while Arts and Crafts and Interior Decorating are accompanying courses of study. Boys in Industrial Arts classes can learn different trades in auto, machine, metal, woodwork, and electric shops, and they can also study mechanical drawing. In this department they are instructed in basic fundamentals and the handling of various tools and devices. INDUSTRIAL HOME AND FINE ARTS Front Row: Julius Senyshyn, Robert P.

The sounds of clacking typewriters and dictation for shorthand can be heard on the second floor of P.H.S. as future secretaries and clerks learn the skills neces- sary to prepare them for their chosen vocations in the business field. The Commercial Department offers courses that enable students to learn the '‘abc's'' of many differ- ent business fields. For instance, stenography, typing, and a course in secretarial practice are available for pupils interested in becoming secretaries; bookkeeping, business mathematics, and clerical office practice are subjects that the future clerical worker would take. Special courses given are Business Law and Mer- chandising, Economic Geog raphy and Salesmanship, and Junior Business Training. Interested students are given the opportunity to visit business firms to see how they operate during the year. This visit involves actual participation by the students in the firm's work, A HELPFUL HINT—Mrs. Ruth Wyer assists Carole Messana as she practices on the by, Seay, IRENE THAT _Period 3 ce i. skills in volley 2a Our Olympiad Arms forward, raise!

Especially valuable are the books relative to subjects being taught in school. In addition to books, the ieee offers special materials, such as films and records, for use by teachers and occasionally by students. The organization of the library itself is along the same lines as those of other libraries. The quality and the size of the book selection, too, compare favorably with the materials available at other similar institutions. LIBRARY Josephine E.

Music Department. For students interested in music, ; either as a possible career or as a leisure activity, courses in Fundamentals of Music, History and Appreciation of Music, Harmony, and Voice Culture are offered. While some students study the factors that go into music and the mechanics of pro- ducing it, others work only with the finished product. There are three choral groups: Mixed Chorus, Male Chorus, and Girls' Chorus. These three groups utilize what they learn as a basis for school assemblies and programs, community affairs, and the annual Choral Festival. Providing the wind and power behind the instruments are the members of the high school band and orchestra. Whether marching down the football field in brightly-colored uniforms or playing a great classic on the P.H.S. stage, these musicians contribute greatly to our understanding and enjoyment of music. We're proud of them! Y—Mr, Hooker's Period around the Piano for MUSIC DEPARTMENT F. Louis Hooker, Howard S. Savage, and Clarence J. Andrews, — att Supervisor of Music. Missing: Dwight A.

To run a school of this size so smoothly and efficiently is a tremendous accomplishment.’ This is a comment typical of strangers who chance to pass through the crowded halls of Plainfield High School. Who is respon- sible for this? The administrators, counselors, teachers, and pupils, who also play a major role, help, naturally; but the smoothness with which our school is run is due, in a large part, to the behind the scene helpers.'' With- out the help of the able secretarial and clerical staff, students wouldn't know what schedules to follow, teachers wouldn't know when to attend conferences, and baffled parents wouldn't be able to discuss their children with the teachers. Mimeographing, cutting stencils, handling correspond- ence, transcribing students' records, and seeing that students get forgotten books or lunches are all considered the call of duty by these hard workers. Being the core of all administrative functions, they are indispensable to the well-being of our school. GOOD MORNING! PLAINFIELD HIGH SCHOOL—Mrs. Ann Parello, secretary to the vice-principal, greets callers with her pleasant voice. SECRETARIAL AND CLERICAL STAFF Left to right, seated: Thelma Barnes, secretary to industrial arts and physical education; Frances Hess, mimeograph operator.

Service With a Smile What giant eats 840 rolls with 110 pounds of frankfurters while consuming 950 pints of milk per day? As you have probably guessed, this giant is the Plainfield High student body. In addition to the above mentioned food, he demol- ishes 40 pies and 600 other desserts. Wherever possible, this food is bought locally, the ex- ception being the 40 pies. The government, too, enters the picture by subsidizing the milk and hot platters. The staff needed to prepare food for this monster consists of 18 connoisseurs of food. Half of the staff reports at 8 o'clock to prepare the food; by eleven o'clock, the full staff is busy putting the final touches to our delicious lunches.

The mountains of papers from class work and the refuse from lunch periods must be disposed of; the grounds around the school must be kept attractive and well maintained. The public gets to know our school first through its outward appearance, so the responsibility for public opinion falls upon these men. They, how- ever, can't do the job alone. A clean school is the result of cooperation on the part of everyone. Cleanliness, however, is but one responsibility of the staff; among many other chores, they handle the enormous amount of supplies and eee necessary for efficient running of the school. which insures us light, CHECKING THE STOCK—Mr. John Broadbent, head cus- todian, and Mr. Abe Hoffman make sure they will be ready with supplies at any time.

Seniors Record The Class of 1959 now finds itself on the brink of graduation with four full years behind, so it becomes necessary to reminisce a bit in order to discover why time seems to have slipped by so rapidly. Our first days at P.H.S. were marked by confusion, concern, and amazement, typical reactions of new entries into high school. But, aided by experienced counselling and our trusty handbooks, we were soon acclimated and settled into the regular routine. We organized the class, electing Robert Zagoria as our president, Jon Schreyach as vice-president, Catherine Crowe as treasurer, and Ellen Romer as our secretary. Our first social event, the Freshman Party, inaugurated many happy times together as a Class. Little did we realize that our cardinal mascot, which exerted great spiritual control over our destinies, was to disappear mysteriously the follow- ing summer. We had accepted the challenge of our Alma Mater some time before our first year was behind us. As Sophomores, what little feeling of unimportance we had possessed, vanished. The officers chosen to represent the Class were: David Tebbs, president; Herbert Smith, vice-president; assisted by JoAnn Cowling and Cynthia Barlow as secretary and treasurer respectively. Being well estab- lished in the school clubs and general activities by this time, we were successful in many endeavors, and the Sophomore dance was no exception. After much debate and planning, the Student Council initiated the operation ''Bring Back the Cardinal, ’ but a whole year was to pass before the success of this assignment was to be accom- plished.

Richard Young, Student Council president, continued to maintain closer ties between the students and the faculty. The Milestone continued to be a cherished publication under the editorship of Jon Rosenbaum; and the Entree, edited by Marjorie Hirschberg, went on winning admira- tion wherever it was read. We were in a’ whirlwind of activities. The Senior play, Gramercy Ghost, ' played to a capacity audience. Scarcely had we recovered from the Junior-Senior dance, when we found ourselves at the Prom, the Senior Supper, and then graduation. P.H.S. is now a nostalgic memory. We pay tribute to Mr. A. Hamilton Otto, our dependable adviser and warm friend. We have worked to maintain and perpetuate our Alma Mater's fine reputation and in return have reaped confidence, security and knowledge.

This fund is available to any senior preparing for education beyond the high school level; if, however, two candidates have equal qualifications, the fund may be divided. Candidates for this scholarship must have a definite financial need and must demonstrate a satisfactory record in studies and in behavior; participation in co- curricular activities is also a requirement. A faculty board consisting of Dr. Francis, Mr. Otto, and the four counselors met and chose the two students mentioned here. CAROL ANN LINDSTROM Carol has high hopes of becoming a language teacher on the junior high school level. She would like to attend a small liberal arts college because she feels that a college of this type might provide a more intimate and friendly atmosphere. Her interest in teaching in the field of foreign languages was kindled here in Plaintield, and we feel sure that she has made the right choice. In school she has participated in athletics, and she has been a Student Council representative and Executive Council secretary; her outside interests include memberships in the King's Daughters Circle, the Tri-Hi-Y Club, and the Young People’s Associa- tion of her church. She also has fond memories of working on a ranch for two summers. Good luck, Carol! 80 SUSAN DUROW Tall, svelte, and friendly might readily describe Sue, but it would be a far from complete descrip- tion. Energy and determination had to be part of her equipment in order that she might successfully cope with her full schedule. In her high school career, Sue has had little ''spare time'' because her varied career has included a home room presidency, a stint with the Ushers’ Squad, a Class Council membership, an Assembly Committee assignment, and work as an artist for the Entree and the Milestone. In her senior year her art work for the Milestone involved meeting many deadlines; however, it won the approval of the photographers and artists of the book's publisher —no mean accomplishment. We hope that this accolade may encourage her in her future career — art. eS nee Juniors Boost School Spirit oP 2S ROSS JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS — Seated: John Coyle, President; John Malone, Vice President. Standing: Pat Mason, Treasurer; Clara Brown, Secretary. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY After two years of hard work and fun, we finally made the grade. We were upper- classmen! When we thought back over those two years, we realized how wonderful they were. When we first entered P.H.S., we con- fidently bought elevator tickets and used the front door. We chose Lee Smith, Howard Feldman, Nancy Sargent, and Judy Larew to head our group. We got to know each other at our first social function, the Fresh- man Party. The second year of our four-year climb, we elected John Coyle, Ronnie Uslan, Nancy Sargent, and Carol Putsche as leaders. With one year of experience behind us, we felt that we could accomplish anything. Our Sopho- more Dance, the ‘Schoolhouse Rock, was a headliner. Finally, this year we reached our goal — upperclassmen. We proudly displayed our class rings to all who would look. To boost our depleted treasury, we sold shakeroos. Leading us this year were John Coyle, John Malone, Clara Brown, and Pat Mason. Along with the seniors, we held the Junior-Senior dance and the Prom. It seems as if it were only yesterday when we first entered these halls. So much has happened in the last three years, and much more is yet to come in the best year of all — senior year.

Sophomores Sell Sweatshirts for Scholarships SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We stormed P.H.S. on Freshman Day, confident that ours was to be the best class yet. We were soon given a chance to show our enthusi- asm by electing Student Council rep- resentatives and class officers. Those elected as leaders were Janet Cass, Peter Mann, Sue Campbell, and Tom Disbrow. Our first big social event, the Freshman Party, was given with- out any help from upperclassmen and was a big success. Now, after our second big year, we're sure we'll fulfill our plans of the first day. By giving a successful dance for the whole student body, we proved our ability. We also sold jackets to raise money for our scholar- ship fund. Chosen for our new officers were Roy Resnikoff, Peter Mann, Jean LaRossa, and Tom Disbrow. Having completed half of our stay at P.H.S. we are looking forward to the next two years as upperclassmen. We are confident they will be as successful as our first two years here.

LOOKING AHEAD—Sue Heyman inspects college bulletins. Last Freshman Class Enters Plainfield High FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY With man never before closer to the con- quest of space, we, the Freshman Class, pondered on what we could make as our contribution to science and progress. At last we decided that we would throw our first annual ‘Space Age Party.'' Attending were our class officers, whom we had elected earlier in the year; President, Bill Burfeind; Vice-Presi- dent, Bob Sikowski; Secretary, Gail Garrett; and Treasurer, Harriet Carmichael. Rathe: than to make money, the purpose of our dance was to acquaint more Freshmen with other Freshmen. Contributing very greatly to the dance was Mr. Lonsky, our class adviser. We held our first major assembly, which was presided over by our new officers shortly after elections, and we were shown the func- tions of our class council. We have felt traditionally honored in up- holding Plainfield High School's record in sports and sportsmanship, Our Freshman football team ended its season with a perfect record, not only winning every game, but also being scored upon only once. We have been the last Freshman Class to enter P.H.S., and we hope that we have been one of the best. We have enjoyed our first year in this fine institution, and we are look- ing forward to three more prosperous years. me SS b Sate pee a FRESHMAN OFFICERS — First row: Harriet Carmichael, Treasurer; Wil- liam Burfeind, President.

Link Between We, the students of Plainfield High School, in order to stimulate and develop a healthy school spirit, to encourage and maintain participation in school activities, to create a clearing house for student opinion, and to prepare ourselves more fully for complete participation in our national democracy ...'' Thus are the aims of the Student Council stated. Students selected for the council gather under the guidance of Mr. George Reck at regularly scheduled meetings to plan school improvements and work out projects to raise money for our school, or worthy causes outside of school.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL This member suggests a plan for a five-day weekend!” Another enterprising student's suggestion has come to the attention of the Executive Council, headed by Mr. George Reck. This committee of students functions as a clearing house for all matters, including preparation of the Student Coun- cil agenda, as well as acting for the Student Council in emergen- cies. Perhaps these committee members can't provide us with a five-day weekend, but they do work for the welfare of all students. 104 RS if er: ye thee Q pay Ke 1 Be pe, THE USHER SQUAD The Usher Squad, unde: the supervision of Mr. Banta, is made up of sen- ior boys and girls who are chosen at the end of their junior year.

Working on the Entree gives its staff and reporters valuable training. Spencer S. Steenrod, the faculty adviser, directs the students’ writing, typing, copyreading, re-typing, headline writing, and arranging of copy, all of which compose the Entree and bring the news to the students of P.H.S.

Although this may be slightly exaggerated, the alert workers in charge of mail- ing for the Entree Business Staff do see that our paper reaches many parts of the country. Headed by A. Hamilton Otto, the staff performs another import- ant function, the procuring of ad- vertisements. Aside from this, they are responsible for picking up and assembling copy and collecting money from advertisers. 106 i i © 89 one ey a a7. ; j Oxy uy 3 Seeat 1 ‘ | webnng i F y ts i ue La é ONE od 3 eewee oS hy aNaarare A 1 MY ID ervey reset - tee pigeyne age ont, j s Oy ‘ OOO e 4 BN) : f . 1 Gin WX oe Fi o é ‘ MILESTONE EDITORS — Left to right: H.

One day, glancing above his head, he discovered a sword dangling dangerously from a thread. To the editorial staff, the ''sword of Damocles is a monster which appears three times a year, a deadline, The thread holding this deadly weapon consists of galley-proofs, too many senior write-ups, and an editor-in-chief.

Under the able guidance of Mr. Sterling, the staff has raised sales to an all-time high. If you don't want to sell the yearbook, then try procuring ad- vertisements for it. Ruth Robino- vitz and her staff go to the mer- chants and acquire the ads. Mr. Dixon is the adviser.

Directed by Mr, Francis W. Hooker, they sang for their parents and friends one night in Decem- ber. This concert included ''Twas the Night Before Christmas, O Holy Night, ' ''The Story of Christ- mas, Lift Thine Eyes,'' and other carols. Spring found the boys practicing for the annua! : choral festival. Sessions were held twice a week during study periods. Many scores from hit musi- cals were featured.

This agonized cry was caroled through the halls of Plainfield High by one hundred sleep-starved members of mixed chorus days before each concert. So that they might possibly be able to stay on key during the performances, Mr. Hooker, their director, put them through their treble cleffs many a morning at this welcome hour. The result was most enjoyable. During the Christ- mas holidays the ''Singing Hundred performed at the Y.M.C.A. for the Old Guard and gave a special program for their parents and friends. The annual choral festival was held in the spring. The present mixed chorus is an addition to the choral program this year. Previously, this group was simply a combination of the other choruses. Now, however, it is completely separate. MALE CHORUS —First row: L. Bomar, P. Witteman, C., Carter, A. Stripto, J. Elder, D. Lombardi, C. Craig, P. Ster- ner. Second row: C. Southgate, G.

Does the difference lie in the quality of the actors and actresses? No! The drama club at P.H.S. has always had fine thespians. This year, however, the drama clubs met as one. Merging for the first time were the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors.

FUTURE TEACHERS CLUB Don't be surprised if some of our P.H.S. students someday become teachers because, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Rasmussen, this club works very hard to get an_ insight and further interests in teaching. The club helps its members decide which colleges and which grade levels of teaching are best suited for them. The club program includes speak- ers, movies, and some informal prac- tice teaching. Some of the highlights of the club program are community work with children and discussion with foreign students about the methods of teaching in their various countries. ENLARGING THEIR SKILLS — Donald Hageman, Donald Scho- engold, and Gordon Wick de- velop their photographic tal- ents.

With only two teams able to score against the PHS powerhouse, the gridders roared easily to the Union County and Central Jersey championships. Only two other teams in the history of PHS have been able to finish with a perfect season, and both were under the direction of Coach Abe Smith. Prospects for next year are good, with most of the backfield returning. COLUMBIA NIPPED ON 95-YARD RUN A 95-yard dash by Herman Johnson in the closing seconds of the third quarter decided the score of the Cardinals’ first outing. Johnson also scored the first touchdown from the one-yard line after passes by Pete Liske to Johnson. Jim Fania set up the play. PASSES BLANK WOODBRIDGE With the stone wall'' defense holding Woodbridge scoreless, aerials accounted for most of the gains and scoring in the PHS attack. The ground game was sparked with two TD's by Johnson, while passes from Liske and Turi to Dom Belardo and Bob Zagoria accounted for the other two scores. Two placements by John Coyle rounded the final score to 26-0. WHERE'S THE BALL? — Pete Liske gets ready to hand off to Coyle. Tom McCreesh ONE OUT OF 31 — Coyle scores another P.H.S. touch- down. PERTH AMBOY PLASTERED John Coyle and Herm Johnson copped two touchdowns each as they led the Cards to a 46-13 romp over Perth Amboy. Tom McCreesh recovered a fumble to set up a score, and Tierno and Fania each crossed the goal. Highlight of the game was a score by lineman Buddy Wilson, who stole the ball on a Perth Amboy play. JEFFERSON JOLTED Coyle and Johnson again scored a pair to lead PHS to their fourth straight win of the season, downing Thomas Jefferson 42-0. Liske and Turi combined to hit 9 of 13 passes for three of the scores, Ends Zagoria and Belardo each scored; Zagoria's TD was the result of a 44 yard toss by Pete Liske. Rounding out the perfect day, Joe Turi made six out of six conversions, BRUNSWICK — BEWITCHED, BOTHERED, BEWILDERED Plainfield remained in the unbeaten ranks as they passed their first big test of the season, beating powerful New Brunswick 140. The first PHS touchdown was scored by Coyle as he made a circus catch of Turi's pass for twenty yards and a TD. Johnson picked up the second score on a 14-yard run. UNION PLOWED UNDER The Farmers never saw the goal line as the rock wall of PHS held them scoreless. Pete Liske made his best showing in completing 8 of ten passes for three TD's and 254 yards. Two of the touchdown passes hit Johnson, who scored three times in the first half. Liske hit Belardo for the last score, while Fania also added six points in the second half. With this win the Cards annexed the Central Jersey Championship. BARRINGER BURIED The Cards combined brilliant running with a passing attack sparked by Pete Liske to register their third straight shutout, 27-0. Liske threw three touchdown passes and scored once. Coyle scored twice, and Bob Zagoria added the fourth TD, while Turi made three conversions. 13,500 fans watched Plainfield blank its second unbeaten and untied team in a row. CARDS HALT WESTFIELD The Red and Blue posted its eighth victory as fullback Jim Fania led the Cards to a 21-0 rout in the Turkey-Day classic. Fania scored three times from the 2-, 3-, and 4-yard lines. Westfield was hopelessly outclassed, and they never even got the ball to midfield, J.V. FOOTBALL First row: D. Lombardi, G. Etter, W.

Comi. 22 Quintet Has Luckless Season Finishing the year with a record of seven wins and fifteen losses, Coach Bill Brann's basketball squad found that depth trouble was the big problem of the season. With only one starter, Herman Johnson, back from last year's varsity squad, the team was forced to depend mainly on younger and untried: players. Johnson, the leading scorer for the Redbirds, was assisted by Pete Liske, Bob Sobel, Doug Smith, Al Griffen, Reggie Crawley, and Al Smith in running up a point total of 238. Pete Liske followed closely with a total of 234 points. The defense proved to be the stumbling block for the P.H.S. regulars during most of the season. The quintet started the season with a good showing against Springfield, nipping the Bulldogs 52-49. The team was unable to continue the winning ways, however, and after the first five games the average never got above .500. In the County tournament the Cards were eliminated in the first round, but in the State tourney the hoopsters defeated Union, a formidable opponent, to move into the second round, where they were defeated by Linden. Prospects for next season are better, for only two of the regulars, Pete Liske and Doug Smith, are leaving the squad. Those returning for another season of play will be Herman Johnson, Al Smith, Al Griffin, Dom Belardo, and Reggie Crawley.

THE SEA MONSTER — John Boynton comes up for air. Winning Season The P.H.S. mermen chalked up their twenty- fifth consecutive winning season under the guidance of Coach Vic Liske. A record of six wins and five defeats was accompanied by a third in the Union County meet and a fifth in the state. Two boys, John Boynton and Roy Nichols, stood out as the stalwarts of the team, each finishing with an undefeated record in dual meet competition. Boynton set new school records in the 200 yard freestyle, 120 yard individual medley, and the 150 yard individual medley. For the third time in a row, Roy Nichols won the Union County Champion- ship diving contest. In the state meet he also finished first and established a new record. Other key swimmers who rounded out the team were: freestylers, Mike Miller, Herold Wilson, and Pete Liske; breast stroker, Walter Misiak; and back stroker, Bill Lynch.

Coach Pepe, a wresting star while at P.H.S. and at Penn State, made his coaching debut this year. Standouts on this year's squad were Lamont Cassett, Joe Turi, John Nevius, Jerry Plum, and Bob Zagoria. The wins for the club were over North Plainfield and Thomas Jefferson. In the district meet the team took a third place, relying heavily on the boys in the middle weight classes. Plainfield failed to place in the state meet, as the only entrant, John Nevius, was defeated by the boy who went on to take the state champion- ship in his weight class. Coach Pepe predicted a better season for next year as most of his lettermen would be returning for another year.

Netsters Take Thirteen Matches The P.H.S. tennis team, under the direction of Gilbert Young, enjoyed another highly successful sea- son. The team played fourteen matches against various New Jersey high schools, won thirteen, and lost only to Trenton High. Three games were called off because of inclement weather. Especially exciting was the match against Westfield from which the Cardinals emerged victorious by a score of 3-2. Up until their meeting with the Cardinals, the Westfield tennis team stood undefeated throughout a series of thirty-three con- secutive matches. Later in the season, when the Card- inals came up against Westfield for a second clash, Westtield went down once again by the same score 3-2. The prospects for the 1959 season look bright with the spotlight centering around James Dunn, Roy Gart- ner, Robert Merrill, and Joel Schapiro. This year's two junior teammates, Roy Gartner and Joel Schapiro, banded together as a doubles team and remained undefeated with a total of fourteen victories to their credit. Seniors who made their last appearance on the P.H.S. tennis courts during the '58 season were Pete Seidel, Jim Shrager, and Roger Schwartz. Roger Schwartz was selected as this year's honor athlete in tennis. First row: R. Merril, J. Shrager, B. Perkins, J. Schapiro, J. Dunn. Second row: P. Saidel, G. Denliker, R. Schwartz, R.

Cards Complete The 1958 Plainfield Diamondmen concluded their first winless season in history with twelve losses stacked up against a tie and no wins. However, the record does not show the six games which were lost by only one run. For the first season in 22 years of coaching, mentor Jack Liddy failed to win a game. Handling the infield chores were Joe Turi, John Coyle, Dick Greenwood, Wayne Baldino, and Doug Clash. Flies were chased by Stan Stagaard, Buster READY FOR ANYTHING — Barry Jacobson waits for the pitch. THIS IS THE WAY YOU DO IT. — Coach Chambers teaches the frosh. Winless Year Edwards, Ronnie Gwiazda. Tom McCreesh, Al Grif- fen, Bruce Weider, and Roger Burgess, pitchers, formed the battery with catcher Barry Jacobson. Ronnie Gwiazda led the hitters with a batting aver- age of 364, and Tom McCreesh helmed the pitchers with an earned run average of less than one run. A great ‘next year'' is predicted for the Cards, for most of the team are underclassmen.

Big Herm Johnson led the team scoring, breaking the P.H.S. record for the broad jump with a leap of 22'9 . Johnson also scored the most points in dual meet competition. The team racked up other wins against New Brunswick, a powerful Thomas Jefferson club, and Woodbridge. In the Columbia- Perth Amboy triangular meet, the team won easily with a total of 72-5 6 points. The runners copped a third place in the Union County relays. Another third was awarded the team at the Newark Board of Education meet. The team sparked up, however, to take a close second in the Long Branch relays. At the Union County track meet the team again took second. The club made a very respectable showing at the Central Jersey meet with a point total of 26! 4 to cop third place. At the State meet Herm Johnson was the only point-getter. Sparkplugs of the team were Herm Johnson, Ed Cislo, Bill Bareford, Neil Dern, Woody Sobel, and Pete Hierl.

The two setbacks came from a strong New Brunswick squad and an equally powerful Holy Trinity of Westfield team. This year Plaintield won the Union County meet, held in Elizabeth, and placed second in the Central Jersey run, which was copped by the Zebras of New Brunswick. The top man on this year's cross country team was Cecil Jones, a senior who has been on the team since his freshman year. His best time was a 13:02, a new school record. He turned in his terrific time for the two and a half mile event at Warinaco Park in Elizabeth. The three seniors on this year's team were Jones, Peter Hierl, and Joel Nadler. Others who will be back for next year are Ralph Harper, Ken Davis, Augie Grace, Dave Folk, Tom Foster and Ron Williams.

Under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Rose, the girls were taught the skills of aquatic ballet. About thirty girls participated in this sport. Last spring Mrs. Virginia Hogan instructed the girls in water games and relay races. Varied Sports Programs GIRLS' ARCHERY Plainfield High girls interested in learning the fundamental skills of archery met three times a week this spring under the guidance of Mrs. Ruth B. King. The girls who became adroit at this sport were able to participate in. the tournaments. Whoever scored the highest number of points during the season received an archery cup, signifying her ac- complishments.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION During the year any girl who participates in sports is automat- ically a member of the Girls’ Athletic Association. Two meet- ings are held each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. The girls elect officers at the spring meeting. The officers meet during the year with their sponsor, Miss Rose, and arrange the budget, set up the policies, and make out the pro- gram for the following election. Another of the officers’ duties is to aid in carrying out the point sys- tem. This system enables a mem- ber of the Girls’ Athletic Associa- tion, through participation in sports, to earn enough points to win an award. af 133 Behind The Scenes TO SATURDAY'S HEROES . . . — The Central Jersey Championship Trophy is pre- sented to Mike Miller and Stan Riveles.

Who can trust her? How believe her? ' Years from now, when we pick up the dust-covered volume that is our 1959 Milestone, we do not want our mem- ories to fail us as we try to recapture our days at Plainfield High. Everyday happenings, which we now take for granted, will become treasured moments in retrospect. Let the following pages serve to recall to our minds such various facets of P.H.S. as football games, assemblies, and school dances. All of these things, along with some information concerning the year's national highlights, will complete our record of the school year 1958-1959. SEPTEMBER — With the ringing of the 8:25 bell on September 3, summer vacation had officially ended; and P.H.S. students, some eager, some resigned, came back to familiar classrooms for another year of hard study. Our youngest mem- bers, who had appeared so nonchalant on Fresh- man Day, felt some of their contidence oozing away as they approached the maze of corridors and classes, but in a few days everyone became acclimated. (Teenagers down in Arkansas and Virginia did not share in the national back-to school days; a number of schools there failed to re-open following controversy concerning class- room integration). Football season officially started with our brand new cardinal out there in front, boosting our spirit to an all-time high! With our football team worth cheering for, the promise of new and interesting classes, and extra-curricular activities on the agenda, Sep- tember was a fine start to our successful school year. OCTOBER — This was the month for note-worthy national and international news. Uncle Sam sent a new missile toward the moon, which went one third of its way to target. Western-Soviet talks began in Geneva to put the nuclear test ban into effect, but no immediate results were recorded. Pope John XXIII was chosen new head of the Roman Catholic Church. Back at Plainfield High, Seniors experienced the first nervous twinges concerning their future after graduation. Some of us began filling out college applica- tions while others looked into the possibilities of working at full-time jobs. To help with our plans, Stavid Company showed films about the Junior Achievement group in assembly. Social activities were not slighted; the annual Fall Mixer cul- minated the successful sales of S.A.T. tickets. We were pleased to note the thirteenth birthday of the United Nations, another significant event in October. NOVEMBER — A new month began, crowned by — you guessed it—report cards, the first set of the year. This cast a temporary blight on our well-being, but we soon forgot those little red marks as we packed the football stands to help the cardinal spur on our unbeaten, untied team. Salom Rizk appeared once again on the P.H.S. stage, telling delighted students anec- dotes about his arrival in America. The final performance of Grammercy Ghost, senior class play, was presented to a gratifyingly large audi- ence. (Moscow stirred up new trouble in Berlin Democrats won a majority of seats in Con- gress and state governorships in the November elections). The feminine contingent of Plainfield High was busily at work using Hula Hoops to waistlines trim. Annual Thanksgiving Assembly brought November to a close, and we all pre- pared for the holiday festivities. | HEREBY PROMISE TO FULFILL MY DUTIES — Don LaRossa, Carol Lindstrom, icy) Nyle Brown, and Richard Young are inducted as Student Council officers by Mr. Held. DECEMBER — This is the month described as dreary’ by many poets, but it was not a somber time for P.H.S. Our football team was glowingly described as one of the best in the history of the school'’ as it completed an outstanding record of no losses and no ties. We learned that the newspaper strike had been settled, so Current Events classes resumed world discussions. Also on the national scene was the tragic Chicago school fire which killed 93 children. Back at P.H.S. the cafeteria was utilized for the purpose of holding an auction to distribute items accumu- lated in the Lost and Found. Seniors, nervous and sleepy, returned to P.H.S. on Saturday, the twelfth, to take College Board exams. As Decem- ber slipped by, such comments were heard as, Hope we don't get homework over the vaca- tion’ and “Wonder if we'll have a white Christmas? JANUARY — The new year, 1959, brought us back to school just in time for another round of report cards. As usual, students took on a philo- sophical attitude and vowed to ''bring them up next time.’ Boys sported new ‘Perry Como’ sweaters in hues to shock the rainbow while bulky-knit cardigans were still the rage among the females. Student Council sponsored the Adoption Hop, proceeds of which were used to foster an orphan in a foreign country. We alll read the newspapers to keep informed about the visit of Russia's deputy premier, Mikoyan, to the United States. FEBRUARY—Where is all the snow? Ice skates slowly rusted at home while students took advan- tage of the pre-spring weather to ride about in open cars. Candidates for next year's Student Council gave speeches in assembly to an inter- ested student body. Talent assembly took a close | CAME FROM UP THERE — Richard Grote and Estelle Manasse rehearse for Grammercy Ghost, the Senior Class play. CLUB '61 — Pat Phillips, Heather Hinman, and Sue Hesse help to decorate for their class dance. second in popularity that month. It included such features as a male quartet, special song and dance numbers, and the annual and inimitable magic act by Joe Kling. A mural painted by advanced art students was proudly hung on the walls of the cafeteria. It cleverly depicts Plain- field as it actually was many years ago. Faculty members represent various characters in the mural. We were one of the lucky few schools to have a Midwinter vacation at the end of the month, which all of us spent lamenting the fact that we must return in a few days to face the final week of the marking period. MARCH — Voting machines were used for the first time for Student Council elections. Students READY TO CAST HIS BALLOT — Alphonso Patillo gets ready to enter the voting machine. while Peter Hansen and Michael Rosenberg await their turns. sb PARTING WORDS — Mr. Held speaks to the students at graduation ceremonies. were instructed in the use of the machines during assemblies, and almost 2,000 of us voted quickly and expeditiously. Members of the sophomore class held their dance, ‘'Club 61,'' during this month, and it was a great success. Speaking of the sophomores, we notice that everyone seems to be wearing those smart P.H.S. sweatshirts that the class of '61 persuaded so many of us to buy this year. The annual Interclass Play Contest was held on March 20, giving P.H.S. thespians a chance to show their talent. This is the month that Cyprus gained its independence and Mac- Millan went to Russia to try to negotiate with Kruschev. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Dulles was still confined to the hospital following the report of his having cancer. APRIL — March went out like a lamb, and alll of us traded in those heavy winter jackets for our comfortable trench coats — practically a stand- ard spring uniform at P.H.S. Seniors began receiving those long-awaited letters of accept- ance from various colleges and universities throughout the country. Bulletin boards stag- gered under the weight of over-lapping posters showing candidates for next year's class offices. Seniors began to experience that left-out feel- ing as next year's schedules, offices, ushers’ squad, and cheerleaders were picked. Spring fever hit us hard, but we tried diligently to keep our averages high — finals will soon be here. MAY — Shakespeare describes many things ''as full of spirit as the month of May.'' He might well have had Plainfield High in mind. The Choral Festival presented a beautiful arrange- ment of songs and a harmony of melodious voices during this month. Seniors attended the annual banquet; we had a gay time but an underlying aura of sadness surrounded us, for this would be our last function as a unit, with the exception, of course, of Commencement. A review assembly of the year's events brought back the nostalgia OUR CARDINAL — Kip Gerard poses as our mascot who led the team through its 137 winning year. of awkward freshman days, the spirit of those fall football games, and the highlights of our social events. Most of us had already decided upon our summer plans. Vacations would be in the offing for the lucky ones, while some of us would seek employment for the summer months. JUNE— Will you sign my yearbook? Didn't you think that your history exam was the most horrible test you've ever taken? Only a few more days left of schooll!'' Questions and com- ments such as there were frequently heard about the halls. Our last two assemblies, Senior Sports and Academic Awards, were presented on the fifth and twelfth of June. For the seniors, even the excitement of the Junior-Senior Prom was dimmed somewhat by the expectation of gradua- tion. Report cards were issued for the last time; farewells were bid to favorite faculty members: caps and gowns were donned with trembling fingers. As each senior stepped forward to re- ceive his diploma, many things flashed through his mind; exuberance was tempered by sadness, and a feeling of pride mingled with regret for all that might have been during those four endless, yet quicksilver, years at Plainfield High School. omy $1679.40 Made in France to make driving fun again!
