Bill Keown. Bill is one of the seniors who have been at Plainville for all six years. He has been very active in intramural sports, has managed teams since he was a freshman, and was on the football team in his 'lunior year. His remark- able bass voice added much to the glee club. Bill and his warm smile are dependable and amiable. The senior class is indebted to Bill, who gave so generously of his eHorts for all our proiects. June Markey. Although June is not so noisy as some of us, she has more than her share of deter- mination and energy, es- pecially on the basketball floor where her dainty size is certainly no hind- rance to her. On the list of June's assets is the ability to write as well as the rest of us wish we could. Her mind is not quite made up as to her future, but high among the may- be'sH are medicine and iournalism. Whatever she chooses, we wish her success. Tom Marxv Tom, as Wee- den T. is known to his classmates, is one of the , group that has been to- j gether since the seventh f E4173, e B grade, An iniury in foot- Eggk Lg H ball practice during his sophomore year kept him off the football team, but this year he re- turned to the gridiron to take over the posi- tion of fullback, and he did an outstanding iob of it. We will probably remember him also as the senior with the nonchalant walk and the shining green car. , .-; Stan McCracken. Stan's muscular form has made him one of the most valu- able players on our first eleven-man football team. He was chosen as Ail-Eastern Hills tackle for his outstanding abil- ity. Stan is good in all sports, and was elected Football King at the Football Royale this year. College is Stan's next stop, unless the army grabs him, and it would be a gain for either college or the army. With a goal ahead of Stan, he is hard to beat! 32 Joe McGowan. Athletic ability, good looksl and a fiery disposition are Joels outstanding char- acteristics. He was one of two freshmen to receive a varsity letter in baseball and was chosen captain of the reserve basketball team in his sopho- more year. He also played on Plainville's first tennis team and held a position on the track team. In the beginning of his senior year, Joe deserted Plainville for the Navy blue at Great lakes. Bob McGuire. Bob is one of the few people around these parts who can boast about a record of six years in Plainville's Band. For the benefit of our treasury Bob has also been a super-salesman of cokes at the games, giving us all the spare time that he did not put in at Jim's Garage. Besides acquiring an education at Plainville, Bob picked Up an odd assortment of nick; names which, at his own request, we are not publishing. Anthing to oblige the obligingl George Metz. Through the years George has ac- quired many nicknames, the chief among these being Gunder, which he earned honestly by running to and from school every day, and also by his work as a miler on the track team. Besides representing us well in track, George has been very active in intramural sports. George is one of those people everybody likes, and his willingness on every occasion to do that i'extra job that needed doing made him a valuable senior. Marilyn Mills. Marilyn has always been a favorite in the halls of Plainville. Her remarkable combina- tion of integrity, eEici- ency, intelligence, and personality have kept her at the top of the class. We offer her as proof of the falseness of Hbeautiful but dumb. Her wisdom and warmth have been invaluable to all our stu- dent organizations, and our class has been brightened often by her sincere and ready smile. She was particularly winning as the Connecticut Yank's damsel in distress. $5,

Wag'46 Murygene Francisco. Proof that good things come in small packages is Marygene. Entering P. H. S. in her iunior year, she has given her class- mates inspiration from her cheerfulness and tine cooperation, and amusement from her purse- dropping. A reczl sports lover, the little girl swings a wicked but and demonstrates un- usual skill in riding. We call ourselves lucky that Morygene finished her high school years with us, and the college she selects will enioy her as we did. Janet Gilbert. Since Janet's prime interests re- volve about the realm of sports, she has always been an enthusiastic and happy rooter in the stands of P. H. 5. Tall and agile, she is a good bos- ketbull guard in her own right. Janet is fond of languages and may some day put that interest to use us a translator or interpreter, although she is also considering c1 career in interior decorating. She can boast of natur- ally curly hair and Cl figure that remains slim. John Gilbert By his out- standing scholastic tul- ents and by hard work, John completed his high school course creditcbly in three years. His athletic ability was revealed when he played right guard on the football team last fall. He worked enthusiastically for our class after coming to the big room at mid'term this year. It may be truly said of John that he has malice toward none and charity for all, and for this rare virtue he is liked by everyone. Jane Hannaford. You can always be sure that where there's Jone there's a crowd, attracted by her magnetic person- ality and her wit. Jane has never been too busy, however, to give strong support to the school activities in which she has been especially interested, notably the G. R. and the G. A. A. She has shown Cl steady interest in school sports at Pluinville, and when she enters Miami University we are sure she will be as loyal to her college as she was to P, H. 5. 31 Patricia Herdtner. Pat came to us from Withrow in her sophomore year. A vivacious person, she has enough pep for at least a dozen girls her size. Her smile sparkles and her large brown eyes would melt anyone on C! cold December morning. Although Pat has a strong dislike for CI cer- tain horse named Johnny, we have not been able to Find a single other thing she dislikes. Maybe this good nature is one of the reasons Plainville is so fond of Pat. Evelyn Hill. Evelyn is al- most always on the go. If you see somebody whiz post you in a burst of speed, you would be safe to guess that the ener- getic person was Evelyn Hill. Ev. is a worker, cm- bitious for good grades in school 05 well as for c: good iob after she is out of school. A sports lover, she is especially partial to basketball, bowling, and swimming. Add to these interests 0 pleasant disposition, and you know why Evelyn makes friends easily. Glen Horne. Glen's love for basketball was satis- fied this year when he made the varsity team and played in the first game, after having backed up the team for three years as Ct student manager. Glen has an unusual talent for mechanical drawing, and we have become accustomed to seeing his work on exhibition in the front hall. The not-so-tull musician and his mighty tall buss fiddle have been an indispensable part of the dance band. Plain- viile will miss Glen. Pat Hughes. Here is a girl who will always be re- membered by us for an unusual ability to ripple the keyboard, whether the music be classical or the warmest boogie- woogie. Pdt also has an especially friendly smile with which she greets everyone she knows. Her favorite ac- tivities are basketball, swimming, riding, and dancing, but somehow Pat has managed to save out time to acquire two additional very useful skills. This girl can cook, sir, and she can sew!

Wag'46 Barbara Meuller. Bibsi is a small but dynamic per- son. Her managing abil- ity has made her a very necessary part of all our school activities. She has a great sense of humor, and is usually seen shar- ing hysterics with Marygene. Her hair, she insists, iust won't grow; but we like it that length, Bibsi. And in our humble opinion no- body has a right to complain who has such a wonderful knack of getting good grades without ever troubling to study. Eclgar Parks. Edgar be- came a senior this year the hard way. That is, he studied hard enough as an underclassman to skip his iunior year entirely. He served us well this year as business man- ager of the annual, and was on hand for every project the senior class undertook. Ed is one of those people everybody likes to work with because he does so much of the work. After graduation he plans to enter the University of Cincinnati as a student of civil engineering. Wilma Raleigh. Wilma's outstanding possession, of course, is that red-gold hair of the fairytale prin- cess. Other possessions for which she might well be envied are her legible handwriting and the un- usual silver bracelet she brought back from the wild and woolly West. Her friendly man- ners have made her a popular figure in the halls of Plainville, as well as at Frisch's Main- liner where she put some of her spare time to good use. Norma Summons. We think of Norma as the type of girl everybody likes to be around. With her captivating smile and that dimple in her chin, she should have no trouble making a success of the career she is now planning-becom- ing an airline hostess. We find that the list of things Norma likes to do is a long one, and believe it or not, way up on that list is the unusual activity of making oral reports in biology class. She really likes to do it! 33 Chloe Schmidt. Although Chloe did not enter Plainville until her senior year, she made hersehc a very necessary part of us by her capable planning and inexhaustible supply of good ideas. Her brother in the Navy and music are two sub- iects which always make her eyes a deeper blue. Everything about Chloe makes us 'wish we had known her a long time ago, and we include in that the delicious chocolate cake she whips up with such ease. Mina Shurnway. Minais ability in basketball to keep the team laughing and at the same time to play a good game is such a rare quality that we think of it first. She has a more serious side, how- ever. Her good work as president of the G. A. A, and co-chairman of the carnival proved her able leadership. She knows how to settle down to study, and her grades have been enviable. With a B. 3. degree as her goal, Mina will enter U. C. in the fall. Carolyn Simons. Since Carolyn has held offices in almost every one of the girls' organizations in Plainville, she is bound to be missed next year. Her hard work in G. A. A. and her skill as a forward in basketball have made her a conspicuous Figure in the girls' sports program. Carolyn has also shown special ability in home eco- nomics, one of her favorite subiects. If our caps and gowns fit, it will be due to Carolyn's firm hand with the tape measure. Pat Simpson. As the chair- man of our ways and means, Pat is the gal who was forever thinking up new schemes to make money for the sake of this book. She was 0 mean queen behind the tootlights, but we werenlt really scared. All through school Pat has done a good iob in whatever she has undertaken, and it has always been a pleasure iust to look at her. We know that Pat will mean as much to everyone she meets as she has meant to us.
