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.
