.-Sli-i-.L Hi Pardner -- John Corwin is a true relic of the good ole Western days with all the looks, voice and stature of the modern day hero. Big John's present day acting career extends only as far as the delightful villain, Limpy I..annigan, of the Senior play, but with his friendly personality his future is secure as a star of the modern horse opera.

Never giving an inch in the face of defeat, he kept right on driving. Although usually quiet in school, he will be tor- ever remembered for his shrewd remarks in American Democracy class. Soaring to fame as Ashley's varsity center, Dick Cummins led the team to many a victory with his remarkable job as rebound man. Although it seems incredible for his height, he took un- disputed county honors for his jumping ability. Dick's career at Ashley was only one season but he will be remembered as an outstanding athlete. Memorable for her outstanding performance as Stella in the Senior class play, Maxine Klhhilrd maintains an off-the-stage life quite dit'.ferent.from the boisterous maid she portray- ed. Always friendly and willing to do her share, Maxine with her quiet manner has been an important asset to our class through twelve years

Impersonator, Martha Lang transforms tragedies into farces at random. Superb at originals, she is equal in interpretations. She was awarded first place in the local Prince of Peace contest and later entered Hyman Kaplan in the Ohio Speech League. Four years of voice and trombone added music to Martha's already well-rounded curriculum and secured for her a place in the 1949 county chorus. Small, blond and vivacious are the adjectives that describe Jane McClish. Although petite in size, Jane becomes a huge aggressor on the basketball floor or softball diamond. Her re- maining energy has been devoted to four years of band, chorus and orchestra, and as a result of her efforts, she was awarded a place in the 1949 all county chorus. ia ,ELPH Q . ifiiff An unalterable realist, Donn Maples' theories have spelled defeat for many an opponent in American Democracy discussions. However, our Michigander does not confine all his efforts to the classroom, but, come spring, he can be found exerting his talents on the baseball diamond. Further demonstrating his versatility Donn has come through with a grand job of illustrating the annual. That's a joke son! But no one seems to detect the humor except the narrator, David Thurston. Typical of the eccentric scientist, Dave is a whiz at Mathelnatics and a prodigy at Science. He is a mernber of the Honor Society and is continually ribbed by his classmates as the one most likely to become a college professor. if
