Summer was not a time of rest for Plainfield students. Even before school ended, sports enthusiasts were practicing for the summer baseball and softball programs sponsored by the community. Those not participating in orga- nized sports were not idle. Taking advantage of the tennis courts at Franklin Park, the golf course at the Elks, the swimming pool at the school, or even the basketball goals in their own driveways, students vig- orously fought boredom. Many Plainfield girls spent the first month of their vacation pre- paring for and participating in the Jay-Cees’ Junior Miss Pageant. The hard work paid off as PHS students won first and second runner-up as well as all three scholastic awards. While some PHS’ers played others studied. For the first time seniors suf- fered through economics in summer school to meet requirements for Jan- uary graduation. At the same time, underclassmen experienced the thrill of their first time behind the wheel in Drivers’ Education. Still other Plainfield students pre- fered to work. Rising at 5:(X) a.m., one group of PHS’ers gathered for a long bus ride to fields where they ig- nored leaf cuts, insect bites, and sun burn to detassel corn. Interupting regular summer activi- ties, students attended school con- nected workshops. They were in- volved in publications, cheerleader, majorette, band, and art camps, the Hendricks County Leadership Con- ference, and Girls’ and Boys’ State. Sr. Econ joins expanded summer Putting skill to work, sr. John Nestel teaches a child to float as part of his duties during the summer swimming program at the high school pool. Poised for action, sr. Danny Brooks waits ex- pectantly for the pitcher's windup in the play- offs of the Senior Babe Ruth summer program. Flying through the air sr. Tammy Trittschuh dances her way to first runner-up in the Plainfield Jay-Cee’s Junior Miss Pageant. With her sights set on a blue ribbon for her dress at the state fair, sr. Christi Kalb accepts expert advice on how to attach her interfacing from her 4-11 leader, Mrs. Acton. After a full morning of lectures, srs. Terry Burdon and Betsy Cooprider and jr. Ruth Rag- sdale listen intently as yearbook camp instruc- tor Mrs. James critics the 1971 edition of Silhouettes. school schedule SUMMER 11

Red Pride Girl, flag corps joins PHS spirit team The Plainfield majorettes once again spent a busy year creating rou- tines which they performed at half- time during football and basketball games. Their patriotic Homecoming show, complete with thirty-eight American flags, drew the greatest public acclaim for the girls. These industrious people, how- ever, did more than perform at ball games. They entered a contest at Southport with their Homecoming routine, marched in four parades, conducted a workshop for grade school girls, and joined the crowd at Weir Cook Airpot to welcome For- rest Tucker. There were two new additions to the Quaker spirit brigade this year. the sixteen girl flag corps and Red Pride Girl Lisa Clark. Chosen from among the majorettes, Lisa was fea- tured in a variety of baton routines including the fire baton routine she performed at the Speedway game. The flag corps made their final ap- pearance in the Halftime Highlights Show which wound up marching sea- son. However, the majorettes found a new spirit partner in the Red Pride Pep Band which joined them in per- forming during basketball season. The girls did not lay down their shakers until Senior Night, the last home basketball game, when senior members of the squad were honored along with ball players. The football field vanishes into darkness as Red Pride Girl Lisa Clark flashes through her fire baton routine. Jazzing it up, sr. Jim Moreland and jr. Dean Dare get going at the Greencastle game. Strutting down Main Street, PIIS twirlcrs head up the band at the Homecoming parade. Hail to the varsity ... Pep band members lead the school song at another game.
