THE HERMIAD MARCEI. STEVEN PLANCHON I am Monarch of all I survey My right there is none to dispute. -Cowper Marcel, the brown eyed Plainfield youth, has missed his calling. Surely he should have been a cowboy from the wild and wooly west, with a piebald horse, sombrero and chaps, rfeverything, for if Planchon could break horses one half as well as he can break rules and regulations he would put Tom Mix in the dark. Neverthelegs Plartchon, with his generous and loyal spirit, is one of the most popular boys in school. He usually carries refreshments at all times of th-e day, and the other boys seem to know it. Ile attmds all the high school activities and is a loyal and hearty sup- porter. ERVIN JOSEPH POGNVIST Ob! that malicious, mischievous boy. -Y-Miss Violettc Blond hair, blue eyes and that school girl complexion, eall that constitute a baby face, Our friend from Moosup, al- though very angelic and babyish appearing, holds his own against any other male in the class. He received his letter as a result of wonderful football playing: his acting ahility well liked by all because of her pleasing ways ,and ready smile. She is studying to be a stenographer and we all wish her success in the business world. was well displayed when he took the part of David in the Senior Play. Although not always the one to play the joke on someone, he manages to be there when any prank is about to be executed. VVe all wish Ervin luck in the future and sincerly trust he will be a success as a salesman for Palmolive Soap. FRANK ADAM POLEXVACZIK Good nature is stronger than tomahawksf'-Emerson Frank, or Poly as he is known to the student corps of P. H. S., comes to us from Jewett City. He is famous in the annals of P. H. S. having been a threesletter man in sports and a class officer Ile is the treasurer of the student and like many of '30, he is always ready for with the girls. His familiar in Sept. 1930, especially by of '3l. in his junior and senior years. class of 1930. Poly is a good his companions in the class of a joke. He is also quite a hand figure will be missed in the nalls a girl called Izzy of the class JAMES ALLEN PRATT From morning till night, 'tis my delight: To fish and to fish, without stopping. Jim, otherwise known as the school aviator, comes from the wilds of Moosup Lake, and has never been known to be late because he is always hurrying. Jim is by disposition and preference a fisherman, but he is an athlete as well for he earned his football letter in his Final year. He and his cheerful smile will be sadly missed at Plainfield High School. VVILLIAM JOHN PYE There is great ability in being able to conceal one's ahility. -I.a Rochefoucauld. Billy is a quiet, shy, studious young man from Plain- tield. He has been a loyal supporter of his class for four years. He likes to potter around in the chemistry labcra- tory, and demoralizes the class hy having his experiments written up on time. VVe trust he realizes his chemical as- pirations. NYC do not know much about him outside of school but we have our suspicions.

THE HERMIAD JOHN JOSEPH LYONS A lion FUNOYIH women is a dreadful thing. eShakespeare John Joseoh L on f , y s, amfliarly called VVocf, is knawn for his love of both outdoor and indoor sports. For three Years he has been a member of the Student Council. As Sir Lucius O'Trigger in the Senior Play he gave evidence of latent vocal talent which wow him great applause and which he h '- e I as smce developed by late afternoon practice in the corridors of Plainfield High School. STANLEY JOSEPH MALEK A man is never so happy as when he is talking. -Selected. Malek, who comes from Jewett C't ' ny, is a very studious person. He is an outstanding athleteg he won his letter in football last fall, was a member of the basketball squad. and this spring is playing baseball as well as managing the team. He showed his dramatic talent as Mr. Fag in the Senior Play and is an A-1 violinist as any orchestra re- hearsal ' ' ' proves. His never failing sense of humor surely stands him in good stead. JEAN EDWARD MARCHESSEAULT VVho is so deafe or so blinde as is he That wilfully will neither heare nor see ---Heywood. Jean, who spent his Freshman and Sophomore years at Assumption College, is nearly always in good humor. Indeed his joyful stunts often cause him to laugh in classes and he is so mischievous that he tests the patience of his teachers. He acted his part in the Senior Play very well. Although he does not participate in Athletics he supports the teams as any loyal P. H. S. student should. HAROLD JOHN MONTY ' I am not in the roll of common men. Shakespeare. VVe have often wondered why this youth is called Duck, for short, possibly it is because of his fondness for HZO. His pleasing smile is never absent from his beaming coun- tenance except in English class. Duck has demonstrated his school spirit by going out for football, baseball and track. He frequently makes the trip from P. H. S to ' As far as we know no member able to -captivate his attentions, Sterling by shank's mare. of- the fair sex has been but is he as innocent as he looks? MATTHEW ANDREW MROZ It is the wise head that makes the still tongue. -Lucas. A quiet boy from Moosup whose favorite occupation seems to be plugging his part of the line in football, Matthew was one of best linemen on the team this year. In advanced math class he is always heard giving his ideas on some partfcularly hard problem. He is a ten minute P. T. leader this year and is making a big success of it. Although he is not Irish, he can easily get his Irish up.

THE HERMIAD VVALTER REESE Ulf all seconds were as averse to duels as their principals, very little blood would be shed in that way. -Colton. Vl'alter is one of the most popular boys of the Senior Class, and his ready wit has often livened many a weary lfour. His black hair and dark sparkling eyes have caused much havoc among the feminine portion of the school. VVe will always remember him for his excellent portrayal of Fighting Bob Acres in the Senior Play. VVILLIAM JOHN ROMANOFF 'fSecret and self-contained and solitary as an oyster.' Hot Dogf' as he is known to a few of his closest .ac- quaintances, hails from the wilrls of Canterbury, As he is a quiet sort of a chap whose favorite pose is an imitation oi The Thinker and as he is not given to breaking into a crowd, he is not as well known as some others in the class. His favorite occupation is keeping the keys on a typewriter in motion and owing to this fact he has won many typing pins. He is considered the best speller in the commercial department. He is an honor pupil and usually manages to excel in English. PAUL WESLEY SHIPPEE The thing of beauty is a joy forever. -Keats. Handsome, debonair, smiling, yet cynical withal, our Paul from Sterling is perhaps the most popular boy in the class. An athlete of prominence, he has been captain of the football team, captain and catcher of the baseball team and one of the best basketball players the school has ever had. Surely it will be hard to raise some one to Fill his place. JOHN THOMAS WEAVER Two heads are better than one. -Heywood. John, alias Pat, who hails from the metropolis of Cen- tral Village, is rarely seen without his better half, Wizzy. Pat was once a bashful boyg we wonder why his road work between, Wauregan, Moosup. and Central has changed him. Some day we shall see him managing a chain store in the town of Plainfield. EDWARD JOSEPH WIEZBICKI Then he will talkeye gods! How he can talk. --Tarkington Did someone mention wise cracks? YVhy, Wizzy was the primeval squirrel that cracked the first nut. An opponent, after a dispute with VVizzy, finds himself in a complete daze. VVizzy's chief ambition is to be an orator. He is noted in school for his ability to find an argument over everything in general and nothing in particular.
