The 1968 Plainsman has correlated that theme with our everyday life and activities. There are many new additions to this year's book in a continuing effort to bring Plainfield's students the best possible account of the year's events in a descriptive and interesting manner. It is our hope that as you look in retrospect at the events and people of the 1967-68 school year, you will consider the words written herein and how they affected, and will continue to affect, your life. Editors, in order who portrayed the above: Mark Jones, Ken Nash, Nancy Hayward, Mary .lane Wenck, Larry Testa, Nat Rowell, Steve Sullivan, Pam Madison, Phil Martens, Gail Birthisel, Scott Jones, Dale Sandvall. 5

ilu dlllvntnriam Walter Russell Kurt McBride Marion Carroll Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not sog For those Whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor death, nor canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soulis delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell, And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke, why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And death shall be no more, Death, thou shalt die. John Donna
