GIRARD, PRINCIPAL fatleftl .ALBERT H. JESSUP, TRUSTEE F2 ADMINISTRATION BOOKS, TEACHERS, friends, athletics, social activities, and other factors, when properly blended, make an ideal environment for youth in preparation for manhood and womanhood. In furnishing these essentials, Plainfield High School has been most gen- erous, for it has been her aim to equip each graduate to take his place as tomorrow's citizen in the best way possible. Under the able guidance of Mr. Girard, this high school has attained the required standard for membership in the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges. He was also one of several principals, along with their coaches, who were instrumental in organizing the Mid-State Athletic Conference, which has developed a competitive, but wholesome spirit among the participating schools. Mr. Albert Jessup, our present trustee, has very ably managed the affairs of Guilford Township. He has at all times showed a deep interest in the school, and has spared noth- ing to secure every possible means to give all students the very best faculty, equip- ment, physical surroundings and transportation system possible. Students have sincere- ly appreciated his loyalty to the school and its activities. To Mr. Howard Pike, our sponsor, the Class of 1945 wishes to express deep appreci- ation for the time and energy which he hasso willingly placed at its disposal in all of its undertakings. Without his advice and help, the successful achievements of the class would have been few. And finally, to all members of the faculty, class reporters, and critics, who have made this edition of The Van Buren Elm possible, the Staff extends a hearty thanks. It is the Editor's wish, that as the reader scans these pages, he will try to visualize the school and its relationships, for unless he does this, the purpose of the publication of this annual has been defeated. ir i' 'k if ul' 'k 'k ir 'k 'A' ,X J 324- .h' ix .EL Cf ,,,,...

Busy, indeed, has this year been. We sold magazines the first semester and made a very nice profit. We've sold conces- sions at all the ball games and have given up our lunch at noon to sell ice cream to those hun- gry students from other classes, who have been such good customers. A Christmas dance and a come-as-you-are party, which turned out to be very funny and most enjoyable, were the high lights of our social activities. Our junior class play, Don't Take My' Penny, which was very successfully directed by Miss Grace Mattern, was given March 9. Under our class colors, green and white, and flower, the American Beauty rose, and with the help of our class sponsors, Mr. Grosskreutz and Mrs. Hodson, We have had a most successful year. Much credit must go to our able officers: President, Tom Warinnerg Vice- President, Bob Sibertg Secretary, Louise Jonesg Treasurer, Eugene Hurst. Although We have struggled through eleven years of work at school, the more nearly the time arrives for our graduation, the more we wish to prolong thoseg dear old school days, and with just one more year in high school, we're determined to make the most of it. if 'A' if ik if 4 4 4 4 4 THE SOPHOMORES WE'RE OLD AND experienced now! We feel years and years older than the green- ies you saw last year, because now welre sophomores! Although we have just ten boys and twenty-six girls, we still have our fun. Why, we had a swell Christmas party and a St. Patrick's Day party also. W o sophs have been pretty busy this year, teo. We sponsored several shows at the Prewitt theatre, sold birthday cards and stationery, and collected old clothes for a few poor families in Kentucky in return for some holly, mistletoe and greenery which we used at Christmas time to decorate the classrooms and corridors of our buildings. Our girls' basketball team were the champions in the girls' tourney, and we're very proud of them- Under the following officers we have connlucted our meetings, parties and other busi- ness: Beverly Pierce, president: Robert Edwards, vice-presidentg Patty Schleifer, secretary and Rosemary Snow, treasurer. We are grateful to our two sponsors, Mrs. Masten and Mr. McClellan for their guidance, interest and help in all our class projects. We have reached the half-way mark of our high school education, and we'll strive to make the last even more profitable and more enjoyable than the first. fFi1-st Row? Rosemary Snow, Jack May.

We have done quite a few things this year and although we are still located at the junior high building, we have a good many of our classes at the high school. Our colors are navy blue and white, our class fiower is the gardenia. Our yell lead- ers are Martha Burdge and Shirley Richardson. We have been fortunate in having some swell sponsors: Mr. Miller and Mrs. Jones. And also, some very active class officers: Ricdard Skillman, presidentg Beverly Harris, vice-president, Jackie Starken, secretary and Don Owens, treasurer. We've proud of our freshie football and basketball teams. We won most of our games in both sports this year. We put on a fine play, Pigtails,,' last year, directed by Miss Mattern. We sponsored some parties and dances, among them a St. Patrick's Day, a Halloween and a surprise birthday party, for our principal, Mr. Miller. We helped to provide the Army with a jeep by buying together, seventeen hundred dollars worth of war bonds and stamps last spring and we are proud of the plaque pre- sented us by the United States Treasury.

'N f N ACTIVITIES CHESTER G. DRAKE, DIRECTOR THE BAND THE PLAINFIELD HIGH SCHOOL BAND was again successfully directed by Chester G. Drake, who has been with Plainfield High for many years and has given strong com- petition to the other bands in this district. The band consisted of forty-seven members, six of whom entered the ranks for the first time this year. Among the members of this organization were sixteen from the class of '45, Upon their graduation, the band felt a serious loss, but under the able leadership of Mr. Drake, we are sure that it will recover and do as well or even better next year. Throughout the year the band made public appearances, including participation in the county musical, the Republican rally, convocations, Sunshine programs, and the state band contest. In the state band contest our band, as usual, covered itself with glory, playing its selections well and with ease and was graded in first division by the judges. Because of the weather and police restrictions no parade and marching contest were held. One of the special features of the band,especially enjoyed by local fans, was the mu- sic and marching maneuvers at the basketball and football games. Representing P. H. S. in the all-'county band at the county tourney were Dick John- son, Allan Rivers, Gene Krebs, Jack Rivers, Gene Hurst, Norman Osborn, Gloria Wilcox, and Jane Ellen Davis. Yes, we at Plainfield High have indeed a band of which to be proud. ir 'A' 'A' ir if 4 4 4 4 4 ON OPPOSITE PAGE CFirst Row?

The entire group consisting of about twenty boys and sixty girls, has made many public appearances during the year, includ- ing the Hendricks county musical, and selected groups have sung at the Indiana State Teachers convention in Indianapolis, at the Indiana State Training School for Boys, and in the high school Christmas play, Bethlehem. Some of the members of the chorus went again this year to the Indiana State Choral contest at Terre Haute. There was among them a mixed group and several talented soloists.

The organization is divided into three sections with the following officers. The sen- ior high school group, known as the Quaker Maids, were directed by Edna Mae Daum, president, Rolena Britt, vice-president, Lucille Heck, secretary, Joan Kelso, reporter. The Junior K. P.'s, of junior high school, had a successful year under the leadership of La- vona Reece, president, Beth Koho, vice-president, Beverly Harris, secretary, Betty Lou Barlow, reporter. The Elementary- Group from the grade school, was lead by Shirley Spear, president, Virginia Brown, vice-president, Mary Edwards, secretary, Flo Ann Mc- Guffy, reporter. Meetings were arranged during the school week to enable all members to be present. Throughout the summer, the girls working on the same projects met in groups at regular intervals, In all, eighty-eight projects were undertaken by club members. At the round-up last summer, the organization was represented in district judging by Lucille Heck. Exihibits at the State Fair in baking, canning and dress revue were made by Jean Ann Jessup, Lucille Heck, Catherine Cullins and Virginia Hadley The present group hopes to increase its membership by next year since 4-H not only speeds Victory, but also aids in peacetime. tFirst Rowl Jed Dailey, Leon Monday, Ralph Smith, Raymond Stump.

S. decided that it was about time their school had a paper of its own. They wanted to know all the news and the funny little incidents which occurred in school, and you know even the busiest busy-body can't know everything. The Shaker StaH was formed with Virginia Dill as the First editor- She was editor the following year '41-'42. Charlene McClain, her assistant, became editor in '42-'43. When she left at mid-term, her assistant, Eleanor Masten, took over. She was editor until the spring of '44. Gloria Starke-n. assistant editor under Eleanor, became editor during the '44-'45 term. The staff is composed of representatives of all high school classes under the expert supervision of Mr. Pike and Miss Mattern, faculty ad- Visors. uk ir 'A' i' 'Ir i' i' i' 'A' 'A' tFirst Row?

I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making my community a safer and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete. The Sunshine Society, a member of the state organization, was organized here in 1939 by Mrs. Sanderson. Its colors are white, which symbolize purity, and yellow, which stands for the light and warmth of the sun. Our officers for the year Were: president, Barbara Daumg vice-president, Patsy Tipps, corresponding secretary, Margie Bayliffg recording sec- retary, Betty Skillmang treasurer, Patty Schleiferg chaplain, Elnora Turner. Our society has grown to sixty members since it Was organized and each girl has done her bit to keep the Sunshine standards high. During the year the organization has com- pleted several worthwhile projects: our yearly contribution to the Riley hospitalg cards to shut-fins, sold War Bonds and Stamps at noon in the halls and sponsored an all-'school dance and a bake sale. Throughout Easter Week we gave pre-Easter programs for the student body and on the last day outside talent presented the program. Each class has sponsored a money-making project. The juniors and senior sponsored a Bake Sale. The end of the year is a pleasant occasion for both the girls and their Ideal Ladies. During the year they have exchanged cards and presents and at the annual Ideal Ladies' Tea, the girls! revealed themselves to their ideal ladies. ak 'A' if 'A' 'lr ir if 'k 'Ir ir 1SiltinL:i Allan liivers, business inanager3 Gloria Stalken, eo-editor: Robert Dill, co-editor: Marjorie Baylill. scales ni'naz:er: lVlaraie Harris, literary editog lStandingJ Martha Schleifer, assistant sales manager: J.

THE ANNUAL STAFF This Annual was selected by the senior class to represent the class and tn allord a lasting memory of the Class of 1945, The members of the small were determined not have its work the usual knock-down, drag-out, hurried allair that it was likely to be. They determined that this annual would be one of which they could be proud in years to come. One that they eoulcl show their friends and say with pride, Hthis is the annual that we marle in our senior year at high school. The staff feels that it has, to the best ol its ability, accomplished its task. llarcl work, steady persistence, intelligent writing, and collecting, were the highlights of this staff. We, the senior class, are proud of our annual and we wish to thank the staff for their devoted work in this interest. We fully appreciate all they have done and we know this book, which they have prepared, to be of the best.

HE MARKS-NOT THAT YOU WON OR LOST BUT HOW YOU PLAYED THE GAME. -GRANTLAND RICE ir 'A' 'A' FOOTBALL COACH LOYD MCCLELLAN Plainfield high school saw its best gridiron season in years despite the number of boys that had to go into the services of our country. Under the tutelage of Coach Loyd Mc- Clellan, our team won five out of seven games. Dropping two heart-breakers, the boys gained easy victories over all four conference rivals to become the undisputed Mid-State Conference Champions. Greenwood, our first game of the year, was thought to be easily defeated, but they managed to put up a good enough fight to make the game interesting. The ending, how- ever, was inevitable-the Quakers came through to a comparatively easy victory. 4First Row! Krebs. Clark, Fields. fSecond Row? I-leringlake, Edwards.

These boys were a better ball club than Greenwood, but we were rarin' to go. When the whistle ended the game, the Qua- kers wcre three touchdowns ahead. We next lost to Sacred Heart, won overwhelmingly from our bitter rivals, Speedway, and were beaten by Pike Township. Taking them in their stride two tough teams, Lawrence Central and the Silent Hoosiers, Plainfield brought to an end their very successful year of football. Four boys from our conference-winning team were selected on the All-Conference team. They were: Edward Cantrell, left halfbackg Allan Rivers, right guardg Robert Dill, right end, and Gordon Hobbs, left tackle. Several boys from the Quaker team made Conference honorable mention. They were: J. D. Alexander, quarterback, Jack Rivers, fullback, Richard Groninger, center, and Torn Warinner, right tackle. Robert Snow, left end for Plainfield, was given honorable men- tion by The Indianapolis News on their all-state team.

B I-I S K E T B A L L Plainfield, flushed with the success of the unusually good football season, looked for- ward eagerly to the most popular Indiana high school sport-Basketball! Everybody on the team, the new coach, and all the sudents and faculty worked hard on the formation of the new hardwood quintet. New plays and new systems were studied- some were used, others discarded-and all seemed to be going smoothly. Meetings were attended by the members of the team, the coach, and representatives of the student body. Everybody, encouraged by the coach, voiced cpinionsg everyone was sure that P. H. S, was going to be at the top again in this sport. New captains, Bob Snow and Eddie Cantrell, were elected. Basketball practice was held every week night. Preparations were made for the first game, which was to held at our home gymnasium. All of the possibilities of the New Winchester team were studied intently. and at last the fateful night rolled aroundg our season had begun. 'l'he night ot' the Hrst game, the team showed all that could be expected of it in its ini- tial encounter, which was with New Winchester, a supposedly weak team. However, their boys had all the experience of two or three games previously, and they offered strong op-' position to our boys. In spite of this, when the final gun sounded, the Quakers were in front. Encouraged bythe game, Mr. Norris began to work harder than ever, now know- ing some of the team's weaknesses, he tried to to show each man what was needed to im- prove his playing. Our next two games showed even more improvement.

BOB of the games was lost, it was to a school which never had a bad team and was the runner- up in the Mid-State Conference last year. Then things began to go wrong. The team usually played good, hard games, but some- how it kept losing by two or three poiris, and was never able to get back on a winning basis. The boys worked hard, the coach worked hard, but still games were lost by small margins. Finally, in the Hope tourney, the Quakers won the consolation game. Now, they said, it will be different! But they stillkept losing. Danville, P. H. S.'s deadliest op- ponent, who had their best team in years, won by so large, a margin, the local fans were dumbfounded. Finally the last game of the year was chalked up as a victory for Plainfield against the Pittsboro Burros, who had a fairly good team and had been playing some very good games. But they didn't have a chance, far the Quakers played the best ball they had played all year, thus besting them so badly, there was no doubt in their minds as to the fact that the local team could play ball when it wanted to badly enough.

The freshman football team showed its heels to all its opponents, keeping up P.H.S.'s fine football record. They played four games and won all of them. Ouf greenies had no trouble with three oppon- ents, but the fourth offered enough trouble for all the others put together. The fresh-' men were rolling along, two victories un- der their belt, thinking that they were the best freshman football team in the con- ference- And they were. They showed that they could take as well as dish it out, when they played Pike Township. That was a game and a half-a toughie all the way. Our boys finally pushed the ball over once to win by one touchdown. In their other games the freshies had hardly any trouble. They needed blocking and tack- ling practice, to be sure and in the next three years, with the excellent coaching Mac is sure to give them, they should make one of the toughest football teams that P. H. S. has ever seen. We hope that you make it, boysg you should! Plainfield .............. 41 Tabernacle ........,. 14 Plainfield ..... .. 7 Pike Township ....

Looking back on that day, we see that the teachers were indeed quite impressed as they had every reason to be, and as this class advanced from one grade to another, each new teacher felt that she had really learned somthing new. Upon leaving the eighth grade, it was discovered that even the Junior High building had felt the effects, and would never be the same again, In 1941, when they entered Senor High, they were a class of fifty-nine members. Ah, what a name they were to make for themselves in their four years there! What talents were to be discovered! What abilities were to shine forth. Their class officers for '41-'42 were Barbara Daum, president, Edward Grimes, vice- president, Betty Skillman, secretary and Lou Ann Knoll, treasurer. In their sophomore year they continued their spectacular work with Miss Warren and Howard Pike as their sponsors. Their class officers were Marion Fields, Gene Clark, Betty Skillman, and Mary Ellen Grimes, president, vice-president, secretary and trea- surer respectively. The climax of their career came in their junior year. They sold ice cream, cokes, and magazines, this adding a substantial sum to the class treasury- The Junior-Senior reception was held in Plainield. The junior class play, For Pete's Sake, held in the spring, was a great success. Their sponsors for the year were Miss Warren and Howard Pike. Their class class officers were president, Allan Rivers, vice-president, J. D- Alex- ander, secretary, Margie Bayliff, and treasurer, Barbara Daum. And so came 1944, and their senior year. They reaped, accordingly, all the rewards they had sown the past eleven years. Their very capable officers were Gordon Hobbs, president, Betty Skillman, vice-president, Gene Clark, secretary, and Allen Rivers trea- surer. Among their outstanding accomplishments this year was the publication of The Van Buren Elm, and the presentation of their class play, Days Without Daddy, which was enjoyed by a very large audience. In May, they were the guests of the junior class at a formal reception given in their honor at the Riviera Club, Indianapolis. Class Night was a night long to be remembered- All the fun and happy memories of their past year of high school were revived for the last time, but no sad thoughts were allowed to spoil the fun of this special night. Baccalaureate service was held May 13, Commencement, long awaited and holding a special meaning for each senior, was May 18. The original members of the class now graduating are J. D. Alexander, Gene Krebs, Margie Bayliff, Virginia Hadley, Richard Johnson, Harry Lease, Rosemary Hurt, Marie Swarn, John Daum, Bob Dill, Beulah McNelly, Gordon Hobbs, Betty Stephenson, Allan Rivers, and Gloria Starken. Heartfelt thanks to Mr. Pike, their sponsor, for his help in this last successful year. 'A' t ik ir i444 4 4 4 SENIOR PROP!-IECY New York, New York, 1955 We, the editors of Life magazine, are at last able to bring to you this great and un- usal feature for which you have long been waiting- The Most Successful Graduating Class of Ten Years Ago. Ater a nationwide survey ,and after much research, time, and hard work, we are ready to present to y'ou the most talented, the most successful, the class which has contributed most to society and gained the most fame since graduation- THE PLAINFIELD HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF '45!! Our writers interviewed Mary Ellen Grimes backstage at the English theatre in Indi- anapolis. She is playing a return engagement for her devoted Hoosier following who gave her her biggest boost to fame. She is known as the Queen of the Drama- In his own home county, Hendricks, we found Lindy Gladden on his 1000-acre farm. Lindy is now president of the National Farmers' Club, a powerful new organization. Car- los Stout, his foreman, won the 1950 pie-eating championship of Guilford Township. Car-' los is the main-stay of the farm. While still in that vicinity we gained an interview with His Honor, the Mayor of Friendswood, Ralph Palmer. Ralph, on being elected in 1951, has made Friendswood the great city' it is today. . Our photographers visited Dr. Mary Louise Daum in her laboratory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mary Louise started out to be a nurse but ended up by making the greatest contribution to the medical world since Sister Kenny. In the Sunny South we found Corena Hatcher and her charming family. Corena is now Mrs. Rogers, wife of the president of RJger's Southern Airlines, Inc. In 1954, when Indiana went Democrati Robert Dill was elected Governor. A pro- mising politician, he is expected to go far in that field with the aid of his wife, the former Lou Ann Knoll, whose beautiful soprino voice entertains her guests at the guber- natorial mansion. We stopped at a Skillman drug store in Birmingham, Alabama. You probably al- ready know the story of Betty Skillman, owner and operator of the nationally famous chain of drug stores. The great arts are well represented by t'iis class. In the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, Indianapolis, Marie Swarn is teaching her pupils her latest composition, The J impson Jump, a revised form of boogie-Woogie. In Newark, New Jersey, we visited the H-K Art Studios. You already know what a stir these two young men, Gordon Hobbs and Gene Krebs have made in the field of art, but did you know they paint Coca-Cola signs as a sideline? Paris is no longer the world's fasion center- Norma Hammer's exclusive New York Fashion Shoppe is the talk of fashion leaders all over the world. Virginia Hadley, Norma's most famous model, has contributed much to the success of the shop. Virginia may soon open a branch office in California. Affiliated with this shop is the Field's Model Agency, owned and operated by Marion Fields. He recently' married one of his most beautiful models. Bob Sims, who after beginning in the ranks and working diligently, finally attained the rank of Private First Class in the Army, is a civilian again and is applying his ability at the Sims Filling Station. Also in Plainfield is Allan Rivers, local mailman. He proved to be such a good one that he stayed on by popular request. Almost anytime you visit the Grace Hospital in Fort Wayne, you'1l see Nurse Pallas Ellis 'tending her patients-A g U p p , p 5 U One of the most lasting friendship to come out the class was that of Betty Stephen- son and Peggy Case. Betty is now secretary to Mr. L. S. Ayres and Peggy is currently vacationing at Palm Springs. The football season being Wide open, we attended a game in Chicago. The Bears, now world champions, boast of their star quarterback, J. D. Alexander. Credited with being the brains behind the great reconstruction work in Germany is Major General Leon Monday. Also in Germany is Gloria Starken with the International Red Cross- Gloria took up social work immediately after graduation and has done much for the homeless refugees in Europe. Gene Clark is the brains behind the latrst advertisements appearing for Sudsy Wud- sy Soap. He has practically revolutionized the advertising business. Chief Air Stewardess Rosemary Hurt is making a success of her career in St. Louis. We took a quick trip to Sydney, Australia with Rosemary as the plane's hostess. In Mexico City We listened to Edward Cantrell speak. He is touring the world making good-'will speeches. Russell Crews and Gloria Wilcox are happily married and comfortably situated on their mink farm in Maine. In Chicago Bill Studer is lecturing to fellow-inventors on the principle of his latest invention, the automatic chicken de-louser. In Los Angeles Betty Hardin is helping her husband train rabbits for a well known motion picture studio- Marjorie Bayliff, now Mrs. Russell Long, is in her beautiful home in Washington, D. C. She helps her husband, an important government official, with his work. Current Hit-Parade star is Percy' Alison. With coming of television his future suc- cess is assured. Beaulah McNelly is the world's champion figure skater and is now touring Europe. In Steven's College, Martha Ann Schleifer is teaching physical education. Barbara Daum and Violet Agan are in Chicago. Barbara is the president of The American Women's Club, and Violet is the wife of a funeral director. She designs hats in her spare time. In New Orleans, Richard Johnson is appearing with his own orchestra, Rich's Swing Band. Harry Lease and John Daum are fur dealers. Harry traps the finest furs and John ships them on his trucking line. In Canada, Bob Snow is a member of the Northwest Mounted Police. He joined af- ter leaving the Army. Ernestine Schaffer, after attaining her Master's Degree, has settled down with her husband in Sullivan county. Edith Stanley is another happy house wife. She was recently voted The Best Home- maker of 1954. Oklahoma has had a great comeback on Broadway with Imogene Chastain's name in lights- The six boys who left this class to go into service: Marion Scotten, James Phillips, Edward Grimes, Robert Weaver, Robert Swinford and Robert Rief, to whom this annual is dedicated, have remained in service to help with the reconstruction work in Europe. The above facts and statistics were written and compiled by your Life reporter, also a member of this class, Margie Harris. 'Ir 'A' i' il' 'k 4 4 4 4 4 i LAST WILL ANDU, '-.
