AVE ATQUE VALE- - As I stand here cleaning out my locker for the last time, I suddenly realize that I am bidding farewell to q great many things. I am bidding farewell to the school itself, with its rows of lockers, each concealing the identity of its owner, and call its various rooms, each holding a host of memories. Farewell to the tension of basketball tourna- ments and to the friendly rivalry of all sporting events. Farewell to the excitement of the plays, the dances, and the Junior-Senior Prom-to the inspiring feeling of achievement which goes with the completion of the Corni- val and distribution of the Annuals. And finally, a partial farewell to classmates and teachers, for never again will our relationships be quite the same: But Hhope springs eternal in the human breast and ' have high hopes for even better things. With the help of the experience and knowledge l have gained during my high school years I feel that I can surmount each obstacle in my path and, having done so, can look forward and upward with a light heart to the vast expanse of the future. -J. T. 74w W m 545ch609: Bud Blackford ,,,,, . ................... ,Presidenf Don Lemon .................... .Vice-Presidehf Margaret Ann Hunt .............. Secretary Mary Patten ............................... Treasurer GEORGE L. BAKER, Ill Tis not my talent to conceal my thoughts. vAddison Our First acquaintance with George was when he took us by storm in his First year and was elected president of the eighth grade class. Since then we have never ceased odmirlng his busi- ness ability. We were so im- pressed, in fact, that we chose him for our president again in our junior year. An outstanding quar- terback on the football team and shifty guard on the basketball team, George is known to a great many of Cincinnati's ardent sports fans. During the spring and sum- mer he can usually be found swinging a tennis racket or a golf club, and in the former capacity he has helped Ploinvillels tennis team to win many a match. Al- though we know that Georgels most cherished ambition is to be a millionnaire, we've seen him quite contented when he was iust relaxing with his friends and lis- tening to a Kostelanetz recording. NANCY BERRY lKThe joy of youth and health her eyes displayed. eCmbbe You all know Nancy. You might say she's the gal who has yelled her way through high school, be- ing one of our cutest cheerlead- ers. Her school spirit knows no bounds and her A-l- personality has been an asset to many an or- ganization. Among these are the G. A. A. and the YeTeens, of which she was a very capable president during her senior year. You can always count on Nancy to be the life of cr party, a fact which accounts for her office as Senior Dance Chairman. If you ask Nancy what she's proudest of she's sure to say My 20-inch waist line. Who can blame her! Her plans for the future are a little unsettled. A lot of them de- pend on where a certain basket- ball player goes to college. We have enioyed Nancy. She has added much to our class. JOHN MILTON BLACKFORD ilAs a tower, that, firmly set, Shakes not its top for any blast that blows. -Dcmte A stroke of good luck came to our class in its sophomore year, when Upper Sandusky sent us Bud Blackford, Here was a lad whose leadership and depend- ability were so noticeable that no doubt most of us earmarked Bud right then as the person we wanted for Senior Class Presi- dent. You can blame Bud for all the occasions when your naps in 310 have been disturbed by that hot trumpet from across the hall. The bond will miss Bud next year, and the chorus will have to look for a substitute for his rich buss voice. A great admirer of Senator Cloghorn's, Bud is the only person in this neighborhood who can top Mr, Martin's puns. He's always goodnatured, but you never want to be on the other slde of an argument with him, for he usually knows what he is talk- ing about, and he will talk until he's proved his point. ELINOR JEANETTE BLACK 'iA maiden never hold; of spirit still and quiet.u eShakespeare Jean is so tiny she could slip right past you in a crowd, but she makes quite an impression on you with her high grades. She likes dancing, singing, horse-back rid- ing, and traveling. Jean Is also a competent seamstress. During the time she has been with us, Jean has participated in a good many school activities. Latin Club, Home Economics Club, and Glee Club have all had her support, and she has been a hard worker on the activities of the Music De- partment. Jean was the girl we envied during her junior year, for while we pursued our humdrum routine, she was spending a six- weeks vacation in Florida. We've never seen Jean lose her temper, nor have we heard her say a mean word about anyone, which is a reputation we wish she could share with more of us. And it ex- plains why this little dark-eyed senior is one of our favorite people. MAITLAND L. CLARK HA constant friend-a thing rare and hard to findf' -Plutarch With a smile and a bright red shirt which are sure to attract at- tention, Maitland made a very ef- fective coke salesman at basket- ball games. Aided and abetted by his experience at Buckeye Boys' State, he never failed to come up with the right answer in Govern- ment class. If you hear Maitland letting out with a very Santa Claus-like laugh, don't be alarmed, it's iust a hangover from his impersonation of that kind gentleman at the Y-Teens Christ- mas party. As Devotional Chair- man of the HiaY in his senior year, he did much to promote the success of that organization. His dependability and originality were also demonstrated by his work as an enthusiastic member of the Science Club. We shall find it very difficult to forget this pleas- ant gentleman with the always ready greeting. MILDRED JEAN BONNELL llShe sings like a lark'leCe-rvantes Jean is the type of person who can liven up any gathering, and her Infectious laugh usually pre- cedes her through the halls. The possessor of a beautiful soprano voice, Jean has appeared in op- erettas, musicales, and other per- formances during all four years in high school. She was also a member of the Triple Trio and the Chorus. Frankness is a dominant part of Jean's character and this sincerity makes her compliments really appreciated. Art is one of her many hobbies and perhaps her favorite, for she has definite ability along that line. Ar: ener- getic worker in all class activities, Jean can usually be seen at basketball games selling tickets, hotdogs, and cakes. In her am- bition to be a commercial artist, we are certain Jean will succeed for there's no holding her back from whatever she attempts. RICHARD P. FOX Men who know much say little. HRousseau A true man of distinction, Richard is more silent than boisterous. it is quite evident, however, that when he isn't saying anything, he is merely assembling his thoughts, for when the words come they are wise. We have an idea that he is really watching everything that goes on and that if he had a mind to, he could tell us quite a few things we hadn't noticed. Dick tells us that he likes Plainville very much, and this must be true, else why would he travel all the way from Milford iust to go to school. His love for dear old Plainville was only questioned once and that was the time he tried to blow the place up with' a physics experiment. From this accident came Dick's suspicion of steam boilers. All we can advise is, Take it easy, bub, which is merely repeating his own 'iavorite expression. CAROLYN BIRD CARLSON HBom with the gift of iaughtevf egabatini Always ready to take on an ad- ditional iob, Carolyn was a real asset to the Class of '47. Par- ticipating in G, A. A., Y-Teens, Glee Club, and Band, she could well be expected not to have time for anything else. Such was not the case, however, and she was always present at sports events and ready to offer her. car for any trip. Even while taking tickets at the door, Carolyn was sure to see every play on the basketball court and she is one girl who could tell you iust why the play was called that certain way. Com- ing from nearby Terrace Park in the seventh grade, Carolyn has an advantage over most of us in that she knows iust about twice as many people. In her chosen pro- fession, that of a surgical nurse, her ability to make friends will count. And to whatever training school she enters she will bring loyalty and enthusiasm. RICHARD DELBERT FREY uI never met a man I didn't like. dRogers Wherever you find any sport, you will also find this darkhaired athlete, for he is a real enthusiast. He has excelled in tennis, foot- ball, basketball, and baseball, but his favorite is basketball. The rest of the class looked, no doubt wistfully, at the last Will and Testament to find out who was the lucky man to inherit Dick's charm and goodelooks. On finding that he did not leave them to anyone, we have decided that the meanie wanted to keep them for himself. Can you blame him? His ability as a leader was proved by the fact that, with Dick as president, the Hi-Y had one of its most success- ful years. Always calm and col- lected, Dick often confounds his friends by laughing one moment and being serious the next. But we say, l'More power to anyone who can do an about face as smoothly as you! BEULAH MARIE CLARK tiLocks nut wide disptead, Madonna-wise on either side her head. -Tennyson Always calm and emcient, Beulah has maintained a steady high scholarship average during her years at P. H. S. A whiz at math, Latin, or English, she aspires to be a teachereafter she has traveled around the world, that is. As circulation manager for the Blue Devil, she has added greatly to that paper's success this year. And no matter who is bawling for Beulah, she can be depended upon to do whatever favor is asked of her. She was the high- powered chairman behind this years record-breaking carnival. If you have ever found little bits of nail polish an the floor, they can usually be traced to Beulah, who spends her odd moments chipping it OFF. Don't be fooled by that look of sadness which she sometimes wears-wit will pass. She is prob- ably only thinking of her unfin- ished homework. DONALD EDWARD GElGER N0 dangers fright him, and no labors tire. --I0l't'nSOt1 It Don ever bothered to think about it he would no doubt ac- cept Shakespeare's i am sure care's an enemy to life as his phitosophy of life. He has a great sense of humor and is usually seen aiding in perpetration of a practical ioke.- He is happy as long as he can sit down and bang away at a piano or think of a way to escape speaking in front of a group of people. Don is active in all sports, and he plays them all well when his trick shoulder does not interfere. His dark skin, his unusual laugh, and his ability to ilout-iitterbug al- most anyone make him stand out in a crowd. But Don is by no means all play and no work; we've seen him really buckle down at his books, and we realize that behind his skill in basketball lie hours of patient practice. Plain- ville will miss Don and his beloved car, The Black Beetle. LOUANNE CLARK Trust her not! She is fooling theel --Longfellow Louanne is the little lady with so much energy that she'd just as soon do a iob as look at it. Rare, indeed! With all her vim and vigor, she was always being called on to help with some sort of protect. An active G. A. A. member, she will long be remem- bered as a mean shot on the for- ward end of the basketball Hour. In the role of Blind Date in Best Foot Forward Lou earned for herself a reputation as a fine actress. Making posters is also one of her talents; belonging to so many organizations, she gets plenty of requests for them. Her long, dark hair is the envy of all she meets and we'd like to know how she rates that beautiful wave in it. We're sure it won't be long before sheis known in some hos- pital as that nice little nurse who always brings a smile with her. PAUL GRAETER, JR. HHe is a gentleman, became his nature is kind and ajfable to every creature? ?Barnheld How did my picture turn out, F'caul?H Almost every day Paul was met with this question, for as photographer 'For The Plainsman he was kept busy throughout the first half of this year. We find him remarkable for many reasons. First of all, imagine being related to that wonderful chocolate fudge and still keeping such elegant slimness. And second, imagine keeping up so many absorbing hobbies and still having time to provide transportation for any and all members of the class when there's transportation required. Radio is a subject on which Paul waxes enthusiastic, and micro- scopy is another. Both of these will be uvocations for Paul, how- ever; his serious plan is the practice of medicine. Some day our blonde friend will be Dr. G. He'll never set a finer pair of legs than those he showed us in the Junior Play! MARGARET RUTH COLLINS liGentle in manner, strong in perfotmance. r-Aquaviva All the Seniors recall very vividly the wonderful sight when the Prom decorations were finished and they could all heave a sigh of relief. Few realized it then, but Margaret's iob was iust begin- ning. As chairman of the dinner, it was her big fob to get the tables set and everyone in the right place. As everyone who was present can testify, the task was performed beautitully. Margaret will also be remembered for her talent as an accompanist, which brought success to many of the Music Department's programs. Al- though much of her time is spent practicing on the piano and or- gan, Margaret's scholastic ability has long been a credit to Plain- Ville. A competent, diligent worker, she will inevitably be re- warded by the fulfillment of her ambition to become a good pri- mary teacher. ' JAMES FRANKLIN HOPEWELL iiA good mind possesses a kingdom. eSeneca Jim is one of those idea men, for he gets a bright idea about every five minutes. As Ways and Means Chairman this year, Jim had the opportunity of exercis- ing his elastic mind. He played the line on Plainville's football team for two years and will be well remembered for his wonder- ful performance. With a song al- ways on the tip of his tongue, Jim was a natural for the music de- partment land he played leading roles in both 'iSouth in Sonora and Jerry of Jericho Road. In spite of his many interests and duties, J. Franklin, as he is some- times called, can still maintain top grades. His distinguishing feature is his horn-rimmed glasses. He can always be counted on to brighten up a dull morning with a well placed ioke. Never at a loss for words, Jim will make the advertising world sit up and take notice. MARIAN RUTH DOEBELE i'The fairest garden in her iooks and in her mind the wisest books? ?Cowley Marian has been an active mem- ber of the Y-Teens and the French Club. She served as busi- ness manager of the Blue Devil and also worked on the Assembly Program Committee in her senior year. Unusually high grades have given her the distinction of ap- pearing on scholarship teams every year during her high school career. Marion's maior hobby is writing letters to her many tore eign correspondents, and foreign languages are her favorite study. She hopes to make use of her language skill some day in her work as a iournalist. Marian also likes to bite her nails, though she wishes she didnit. And she most emphatically likes cuts. Friends who walk back and forth to school with Marian have become re. signed to waiting every now and then to give her time to pet some stray kitten. GEORGE DONALD LEMON iiHe made a thousand friends . , . yes, and he kept themT-Bennett When red-haired Don Lemon came to add color to the scene at Plainville High, he became without very much delay on im- portant and industrious member of the class of '47. Although Don knew few people in the class when he first come, he was soon popular and found himself seizrew tary of the seventh grade. In the eighth grade, Don held the posi- tion of treasurer of his class. He was awarded the Good Citizen- ship Medal in the eighth grade. Donis high school years were marked by a high scholastic rat- ing, active participation in sports and scholarship teams, and the holding of class offices. At the end of his iunior year he was one of the Five boys selected to go to Buckeye Boys' State. Don also served as a councilman on Civic Day, and held the office of Senior Vice-President and Secretary of the Hi-Y. BETTY JANE DOLL iiank as the windieShakespeate . Betty came to Pluinville in her sophomore year, and she has since become known for her witty personality vand her ability to make friends. Doll's favorite sport is basketball, at which she is c: wonder. Even after three years, most of us rub our eyes at some of the long shots she makes. Betty is an excellent skater and cm even better bowler. Her sense of humor makes her cu lot of fun to be with. A glance at her shows us what Betty is really like, for one of her most apparent assets is her ever-present smile, which reveals her dimples. Her active participation in the G.' A. A., YsTeens, and Chorus, and her diligent work on the Blue Devil made these organizations grate- ful to Betty. Uppermost in her scholastic interests is Betty's in- clination toward commercial studies. Her goal is a bookkeep- ing iob. PETER ARTH UR HULL HReady to split his sides with laughing. ?Cervances A true sportsman, Pete was prom- inent on Plainville's eleven-man football squad and was also a valuable member of intramural teams. His capacity for work and his qualities of salesmanship have been demonstrated throughout his high school career by his ability to hold iobs, and this year by his commendable work as advertis- ing manager of The Plainsman. And where would an annual be without ads? Always ready to lend a strong hand, Pete went on paper drives and sold cokes at games, whenever he wasnlt work- ing at the theatre. And let no man ever say that our Pete isn't a law- abiding citizen. His respect for the law was so apparent to his class- mates that they elected Pete pa- trolman on Mariemont's Civic Day, and were gratified to observe that he held that office with the dignity befitting it. LORETA FIENO Perseverance is more prevailing than violence. ePlutarch HNow I have posted the names of people to sell at all the rest of our basketball games. Every- one must either be there or have a substitute lined up. look over the list and check your name. She sounds menacing, doesnit she? Well, she's not, but as Senior Food Chairman she got results. Loreta has the gift of being al- ways able to take on one more responsibility, and yet you'll never find her without a smile. Be sides being Food Chairman she was the capable president of the G. A. A. in her senior year. Proof of her reputation as a speedy typ- ist is the great number of requests made of her. Loretals pleasing disposition and friendly smile have made her liked and re- spected by everyone. To acid to her already long list of assets is her naturally curly hair, something every girl dreams of and wishes for. JAMES EDWARD JORDAN Healthy by tempemnce and by ex.-:1rcise.n wpope Years ago, Jim Jordan was known as the kid who rode the black bike withzall the contraptions on it. Now he's known as Jt J,, the streak of lightning on the grid- iron. His reputation has spread far and wide as a pole vaulter, too, and we think it will be quite a while before Plainville comes up with anything better. His witty remarks and distinctive laugh have also helped to gain him friends. Jim's classmates chose him Foot- ball King in his senior year. One of J. J.'s favorite pastimes is driv- ing a car,- no doubt this is a hang- over from his bicycle days. It doesn't matter what condition the car is in, either, as anyone who ever saw Nellie can testify. Welre sure, though that the big- gest and most facinating contrap- tion Jim ever got near was the fire engine he had charge of when he was fire chief on Civic Day. TERESA FRADIANNO l'Those cwious locks so aptly twined whose every hair a soul doth bind. eCarew Here is a girl whom we have found eminently worth knowing A sharp sense of humor, :3 pleas- ant smile that now and then breaks into a merry giggle, and a dependable willingness to help anybody out of a tight spot make Teresa, or Dee Dee, as many of us have learned to call her, c: mighty handy person to have around. She. is a most capable seamstress, and her skill in that field won for her Cl coveted posi- tion on Shillito's High School Sew- ing Board. We have envied her some of the smart'costumes she has produced, although we're willing to admit she also wears them better than we could. Bas- ketball is Teresa's favorite sport, but with the loyalty of a true Plainvillite, she also cheered en- thusiasticully at all the football games. She is considering a into in the secretarial field, and the annual staff certainly recommends her. FREDERICK JOHN HUERKAMP nWhat can we do with those peat ple who will not believe anything unless it is in printTlxMontagne If you should happen to meet a tall blond fellow dashing down the hull toward 310, chances are that it is Fred. He has an almost uncanny ability for outrunning tardy bells. No doubt it was the experience afforded him by this occupation which enabled him to make, the track team. Also om active participant in football and intramural sports, Fred has still found time to work on class proie ects. A member of the Hi-Y, his slow, druwling, Hi there is a familiar trude-mark of the Marie- mont Theatre which would be sorely missed. A person who draws his greatest enioyment of life from merely being alive, Fred will long be remembered at Plainville. His interest lies in the business world, and we know that eventually Fred will tuck those long legs under some shiny mahogany desk and do Cl very good iob, too. ZOE ANNA HENN llGolden hair, like sunlight sm'emrnmg.n iSaxe Often seen in search of a new autograph to add to her colleen tion, Zoe likes to haunt symphony halls and stage doors. She was heart-broken not long ago when she lost the pen Jose lturbi had used. She doesn't spend all her time with her autograph album, though, as witnessed by her many additional hobbies. She likes horse-back riding, golf, and swim- ming, and some of her clothes are fine testimony of her sewing abil- ity. Zoe's artistic talent is often expressed in dress designing but on the more practical side, she also likes mechanical drawing. She is as yet undecided as to whether to follow in her father's footsteps and become an archi- tect, or to become -a dress-de- signer. Endowed with a truly distinctive voice, Zoe added grace and charm to the performance of the Carnival Variety Show and Jerry of Jericho Road. N-x-n -v-e -- .. ....- CHARLES PHILIP lUDWIG lKI have ever conjined myself to facts? eRaspe lip is definitely athletic minded. As a member of the State Chum- pionship baseball team of 1945, and a participator in intramuruls, he was well on his way toward becoming one of our group's most outstanding athletes. He was so unlucky us to encounter rheumatic fever in his junior year, and that set him back for awhile. Nothing could hold Lip down, though, and he has been very active in the past year both in school activities and in sports. His share of the burden of the Carnival was filling the job of Concessions Chairman. We're anticipating with pleasure the day when we can go out and yell ourselves hoarse for some Ludwig-couched team, and then tell our friends with pride, HSure, I knew him in high school! You remember, he's one of the boys who got his start at good old PIuinville. MARGARET ANNE H UNT She was good as she was fair. . -Rogers For some reason it seems very tempting to call our blonde, blue- eyed secretary 'lMaggie, and yet nothing makes her angrier. It sounds undignified, she says, but who wants to be dignified when she can have such a good time just being a senior. Her laugh, which is unusual to say the least, can always be counted on to brighten any gathering, for who can resist laughing with her? As secretary to the senior class she handled reams of correspondence and did much to spur us on to greater heights. An active mem- ber of G. A. A., Y-Teens, Home Economics Club, and French Club, Marty was always thought of first when publicity was mentioned, for everyone knows of her distinctive art work. It is in this field that she hopes to continue, so watch the exhibitions for an interesting piece of work signed merely HHunt. WILLIAM LEE McLEISH mfou can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise. wSeneca This lad has already had a taste of success such as most of us haven't had c1 chance at yet. In the Westinghouse Science Talent Search he was chosen as the win- ner of one of the second place $400 scholarships. When his train pulled in at the station from Washington, no one could have been more surprised or overioyed than Bill was to find a great dele- gation there to meet him. They carried him out of the terminal in grand style to the accompaniment of a brass band. We are grote- ful to him for giving us one of the greatest thrills of our four high school years. As a shining example of what achievement means, our Arch will be remem- bered by us. He plans to work in organic chemistry, and we expect some day to find the P. H. 5. Lab where he started marked as a famous spot. And how we will brag about knowing him! l MARILYNN JENKINS The world belongs to the en- thusiast who keeps caolfl McFee This tall, sophisticated young lady is perfectly capable of changing her personality as a chameleon changes his color. Though she ap- pears much more like a young business executive, she is one of the chief supporters of Plainvilleis teams. A natural choice for the role of the actress in HBest Foot Forward, she carried OFF the part with all the skill other command, An active member of Y-Teens and the Home Economics Club, she was president of the letter or- ganization in her Senior year. Al- though she likes nothing better than a good basketball game, most of her time this year was sacrificed to sell things. With all her grace and charm, she is sure to have no trouble finding a iob as a model; but with the back- ground of Home Economics which she wants to get in college we don't imagine sheill need a job. THOMAS ALBEN PAYNE tiIf youire there before iris over, yours on time. gWalker Tom is particularly noted for two things, his ability to beat out a solid rhythm on the drums, and his amazing feat of being tardy to Home Room almost every day. Perhaps we ought to add another to that list of outstanding accom- plishments, and that is his ca- pacity to take any amount of teasing. Tomis tardiness has been the class ioke all year, but he has taken all our quips with the some easy grin. All ioking aside, when Tom did get here, he was busy. He participated in the intramural sports program and mode a good showing on the football team. As treasurer of the Hi-Y he put in cm industrious year for that organ- ization. And to the Junior Ploy he brought his acting talent in the role of HDutch. Probably the big day of Tom's senior year was the one when he was entitled to be called Hi5 Honor, the Mayor. VIRGlNIA ANNE HUNTER UEaE enough and it will make you wise. e-Lyiy l'What shall I do? is Ginny's favorite way of starting a con- versation. It means her love life is in cu muddle again, but she al- ways manages to get it straight- ened out. That winning smile works wonders! Ginny's activities are many in number. In addition to working as cashier at the Mariemont Theatre, she has been a member of Y-Teens, G. A. A., and the Home Economics Club. During her freshman year she added to our noise at games by beating out rhythm in the drum corps. She surprised us all by do ing c: good iob in the Junior Play in a port tor which we would never have said she was suitede- the old maid choperone. All this adds up to a versatile young lady, and so she is. And what makes her especially companionuble is her steady good humor. We have enioyecl knowing Ginny, and we shall not forget her. CLYDE THOMAS PHILLIPS iLA business with an income at its heels Furnishes always oil for its own wheels? 'COWPET Clyde's pride and icy in life is his trumpet playing, which is of a professional quality. Proof of this is his appearance in the All- County Band for the past four years, and the fact that he plays with the ithythm M-akersf' a pro- fessional band which plays for social affairs. He is well-known for that bright red hat and the HHold on a minute! which usually precedes friendly arguments over anything and everything. Clyde's family has grown used to his fre- quent disappearances on long trips. Although he claims to dis- like Mr. Martinis iokes l?l he has managed to struggle through six years in the science department and come out unscorred. Clyde's industriousness has helped all through school and especially in our final task of getting out the annual, for which he was circula- tion manager. PEARL C. KEMPER CA witty comrade at your side. eSyms The girl with the witty saying al- ways on the tip of her tongue is none other than Pearl Kemper. She is distinguished for her piano rendition of a certain little ditty which she calls 'lTeddie's Death Song? It seems to us that no matter what organization's roll we peek into, under K we always Find Kemper. Among these organ- izations care Y-Teens, G. A. A., and Chorus, and she is also active on the Blue Devil and Annual SIGHS. Her likes are many, in- cluding horseback riding, jitter- bugging, and 0 good ioke. There aren't many things that fail to meet with her approval, but two of them are Korn Kurls and rats eany kind. If you know of any- one who is looking for a good continuity or short story writer, here's their girl, for with her or- iginality she shouldn't have any trouble at cull. 18 PHILIP THOMAS ROLAND ilHe can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another. -France Cheerleader, artist, actor, dancer -where does he find the time? Many of us would like to know the answer to that question. As nButt in the Junior Play, direc- tor of the Carnival Variety Show, and stage manager of the op- erettu, he has proved himself to be cu close friend of grease paint and footlights. As if this weren't enough, he has been c1 cheer- leader for three years, and this year took on the responsibility of being art editor of the Annual. We offer our sympathy to other schools because we donit see how they ever manage without a Tom Roland of their own. Tickets will be at a premium for Tom's first Broadway production, which goes into rehearsal upon his gradua- tion from Northwestern. He hasn't quite decided whether to direct, stage, or act this first play. Have your tickets ready, please! MARILYN GERTRUDE MEYER iiA fair exterior is a silgm recommendation. -Sy'rus Quiet, soft-spoken Marilyn is the girl with the sparkling eyes and smart clothes. At home on the dance floor as well as on skates, Marilyn is also an ardent record collector. As one of our typists she will no doubt be of great value to her employer some day. A dependable worker on all class protects, Marilyn is usually found at all the games selling cokes, cookies, or taking tickets. Animals, cashew nuts, and pastels are all obiects of this gal's devotion, and, wonder - of - all - wonders e she Hiikes to write letters. Marilyn is kept active by her membership in the Chorus and Home Economic Club, of which she is the head of the Social Committee. In this ca- pacity she has succeeded in greatly increasing the popularity of the club's gatherings. And the staff of The Plainsman had reason to be grateful for her help in pre- paring the copy. RALPH MOORE SIPE No sooner said than doneiso acts your man of worth. iEnnius This tall dark senior is the one who thrills ali the girls with his Vaughn Monroe rendition of Racing With the Moon. He has proved himself to be a talented actor and a cooperative workers Ralph, shocking everyone, openly declares that he likes school and all of his teachers. Furthermore he goes on to say that his favorite subiect is Latin! A rare specimen, indeed. His portrayal of the ir- ritable publicity agent in 'lBest Foot Forward was a good piece of acting, and in the role of the father in the Christmas Play, he impressed everyone with his fine performance. Ralph also has been a faithful member of the chorus for three years and has a fine baritone voice. Although he, him- self, thinks that he is not very ambitious we would like to dis- agree, for'Ralph has been a tire- less Worker. MARY LOUISE PATTEN iiIt is quality rather than quantity which matters ?Seneca Mary is the little girl who always seems to have something to do. Her reputation for a job well done is evidenced by the fact that she has held so many oFFices. Her chief iob has been as Keeper of the Funds and she has per- formed this task for such organ- izations as the Senior Class and Y-Teens. The little lady can act, too, as demonstrated by her ster- ling performance in Best Foot Forward. Mary is happiest while rooting for her favorite team, whether it is in high school, col- lege, or professionoi competition. Known as the girl who can barely see out the windshield, she is, nevertheless, always in demand to furnish transportation. We are hereby issuing a proclamation to Miami University: Watch for our lMighty Mite' and take good care of her next year, because we value her highly. FRANK WESLEY SUMMERS His armour is his honest thought. eWotton Frank is one redhead who doesn't possess the traditional hot temper. We donit know of anyone who is customarily such a quiet gentle- man and at the same time such a menace in a helmet and football uniform. His record on the foot- ball team earned him a place on the uEastern Hills All Stars in 1946. His title The Crusher came as a result of his stature and his reputation as a wrestler; we're sure we wouldnit like to get in his way. As a patrolman in Murie- mont's Civic Day program in his senior year, Frank did much to contribute to the success of the undertaking. Frank has long been known for-his love of a good ioke eask him to tell you his favorite eund his ability to draw cur- toons. With these two qualities combined, we wouldn't be sur- prised to find a comic strip some day signed F. Summers. TEXANNA LEE PEACOCK iiAnd had a face like a blessing. e-Cetvames Sincere, thoughtful, and friendly are the adiectives to describe Tex- anna. Usually called Tex by her many friends, she has been one of the biggest assets to our class. She has an inexhaustible supply of original ideas which have made her a valuable helper in putting across our proiects. Last year Tex was program chairman for the From, and she has drawn many a clever poster for our dances and plays. We owe many of the at- tractive sketches in our annual to capable Tex. To add to her ac- complishments she was in the chorus and drum corps a year, a member of the Y-Teens for two years, and G. A. A. for three. In her senior year Tex was vice- president of the G. A. A. Among her hobbies are swimming, sketch- ing, and horse-back-riding. Tex loves horses and hopes some day to own a ranch. 20 ROBERT LEWIS SUMMERS His eyes in flood with laughter. eShakespeaTe Long and lanky Bob is well known to all the sports fans of Pluinville. Let this boy get a ball into his hands, and he really goes to town. His ability to snag passes in football and to sink baskets on the cage floor has won for him a host of admirers. Bob does- n't like to talk before a group of people, but with his friends he is by no means shy, and u more fun- loving fellow our class cannot boast. It was Bob's friendly, easy- going personality that won him the iob as councilman he went out for in the Civic Day elections. Our class has the distinction of num- bering among its members two sets of twins, Margaret and Mil- ton Collins, and Frank and Bob Summers. Bob and his brother do not look much alike, but their family characteristic of height has helped to make them two athletes Plainville regrets losing and will long remember. KATHARINE JEAN THOMPSON HOf manners gentle of affections, mild. MPOPE Known for her friendly smile and cheery llHi, Jean is always in evidence where there is a game going on. Football, basketball, and baseball interest her, and her own basketball and baseball abil- ity can be attested to by fellow G. A. A. members. Jeanis support of Plainville teams is practically legendary and during her Senior year she could usually be found with pop-corn or something of the sort to sell. Pen in hand, she tells us that receiving mail is one of her favorite hobbies and we're sure that if she keeps it up, it prob- ably wonlt be long before she knows someone in each of the four corners of the world. Partici- pating in Y-Teens, the Bond, and the Glee Club as she does, it never ceases to amaze those around her that she can always manage to assume the responsibil- ity for iust one more iob. JOSEPH D. WALKER NA man whois not afraid to say his say, though a whole tounfs against him? b-Longfellow Big Joe will be remembered by all of us for his outstanding athletic ability, his size, and his long eye- lashes. He has played fullback on the football team and center and forward on the basketball team. Joe is also an enthusiastic talker, and will argue your arm oFf if you give him half a chance. He's will- ing to be convinced, but you cer- tainly need good arguments to back up your point. In the elec- tion campaign preceding Civic Day, Joe gave us a sample of his politician's skill when he went out after the ottice of Police Chief, and won it; We predict for him a career as business man or poli- tician. With the fair sex, Joe has been an oE-again-on-again type of lady killer, but the girls like it. He is planning to major in Busi- ness Administration at Ohio State, and he also hopes to make Buck- eye's football squad. MIRIAM HOPE THOMPSON nA silent, shy, peacetloving-friendf, eWhittieT Quiet as a mouse during school, when the bell rings Miriam lets loose and really has a good time. She likes driving and a certain Junior, and can usually be found giving her attention to one or the other. Her friends call her Pat for no apparent reason except that it's shorter than Miriam and, thank heavens, doesnlt rhyme with irium. An active member of the Home Economics Club, she holds the bag for that organiza- tion. in other words, shels their Treasurer. Pat would almost rather dance than eat and she does it with such grace that it's all to our advantage that she likes both ballroom dancing and iitterbug- ging. Welre sure that one thing this lovely lady need ialweys be- ware of is a pair of scissors, for someone may try to steal a few of those tresses that we have so long admired. JOAN LOUISE TICE ilThere is great force hidden in a sweet command. ?Herbert Here is probably the busiest girl in the senior class. Constantly on the move, energetic Joan has been an active member of the Y-Teens, served as editor of the Blue Devil in her iunior year, and in her senior year took onto her slim shoulders the mammoth re- sponsibility of editing The Plains- man. And at the point of this bookis going to press, what is the gal saying? t'lt I don't get a part in the play, I'd like a iob of some kind. I hate to be left out. It is probably Slim's ability to get along with people that makes it possible for her to handle so many proiects. And all the while she pulls down grades that make your head swim, moving quietly among us in her pretty sweaters and seldom breaking her calm to the extent of raising those story- book eyebrows. An ardent sports fan, Joan scarcely missed a game. PAUL JOSEPH WARDLOW iiAn honest manis word is as good as his band? eCervantes Easy-going Paul is noted for his ability to sprawl across two or three seats in study hall, and for his distinctive driving. In his blue- green Chev, he holds the record for hauling almost as much paper as the truck on our two paper drives. On several occasions the Chev almost had to bring the paper by itself because there wasn't any room for Paul. Hold- ing down a iob outside of school made this fellow's life iust that much busier, but somehow he still managed to be active in sports. An essential member of the cham- pionship intramural basketball team, Paul was also an expert at snagging fouls in his position at First base when spring rolled around. His schedule has been a mighty busy one, and yet in sum- ming up Faults many activities it occurs to us that we have never seen Paul in a hurry. It must be efficiency. 22 ETTA ROSEMARY VUOTTO That best of blessings, a con, tented mind. ;Homce Whenever you hear a sudden burst of laughter in the halls or in 310, just turn your head and you're sure to find that it was Etta who caused it. She is the darkhaired young lady who is well known around Plainville for belonging to that exclusive society uThe Lightning ladies of the Keys etypewriters, to you! Bowl- ing and dancing are favorites with Etta and they help keep her slim. Well, there's the secret, girls; see you at the bowling al- leys! As a member of the Blue Devil Staff and the Home Eco- nomics Club she has not only in- creased the success of those orw ganizations but she also added to her own efficiency. Etta says that her most cherlshed ambition is to be a secretary, but with cook- ing to add to her already long list of assets, we canlt imagine why she needs even to think of making money for herself. WAa..sa.. .44. ELIZABETH FRANCES WHITE 'iShe has two eyes so soft and brown. Take careiit eLongfeiiow My name is Libby. If anyone calls me Elizabeth, I'll scream, said Libby on her arrival at Plainville in our freshman year. From that day on our fair- haired friend has been called Libby, because no one wants to be responsible for rufHI'ng that pleasant disposition. Libby throughout her four years here has given her support to many of P. H. 535 extra-curricular activities. A loyal member of the Y-Teens, she was elected secretary of that organization in her senior year. Both G. A. A. and the Blue Devil StaH have benefited from her en- thusiasm. A homeroom represen- tative for the latter, she certainly managed to work dimes out of the seventh grade. She was sec- retory of the town on Civic Days Libby claims that she likes just about everything except maybe sophisticated people. JAMES ROBERT WILKINSON HAS goodcnatured a soul as 8,67 trod in shoe of leatherN Jimmy is that boy with the mis- chievous twinkie in his eye. In his freshman year Jim was our class treasurer, and played on the win- ning intramural and track teams. In his iunior year Jim was active in both Hi-Y and football. He made an excellent catcher us well as a reliable hitter on the baseball team. However, he had the mis- fortune to break his arm, on occi- dent which prevented his piaying for the remainder of the year. Jim's senior yegr found him on the basketball team, and during this year he was elected Fireman for Civic Day. Jim is hoping to play baseball professionally and we expect that he will. He has a lot to bring to the game, and we confidently expect success for him. Get us c1 good seat for opening game, old pol! Remember, we knew you when! SARA JANE WH ITCOMB itNo gems, no gold she needs to wear; she shines intrinsically fair. iBedingjield Tall, graceful Sally is an asset to our class, for she has been one of the most loyal supporters of cail proiects. Her real athletic ability, coupled with her height and speed, make her a credit to any team, and her sportsmanship and teamwork have helped to win many a gameeor lose it groce- fully. She has been cs very active member of the G. A. A. for the past three years, and she espew cialiy enioys swimming, dancing, cmcl badminton. One of Sally's many assets is her sweet voice, which she displays in choir every Sunday morning. The envy of all P. H. 5. girls is Sally's wardrobe, which is an example of her excel- ient taste. Her skill in painting is quite apparent whenever Mrs. Fish has on art exhibit. Sully is looking forward to college, where she plans to maior in art. FRANCIS HUGH RUDDLE MAXINE RUTH SMITTLE JOHN H. SIMONS JOHN THOMAS BOWMAN ERNEST L. ELLIS, JR. 1947 Graduates whose photo- graphs do not appear: James A. Bolunger William Edward Busby Milton Collins Ted E. Kirk Kenneth Alfred Muldoon George Siorer Smith William E. TackeH John B. Thompson STUDENT'S PROGRESS During his iourney along the path of life, iust as Christian had to pass through Vanity Fair in order to reach the Celestial City, so must Student pass through H. S. to reach University City. a: :i: It: Now it so happened that this town of H. S. was divided into four separate sections: Fresh- mun, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. While examining his map, Student found that in order to reach any of these sections, he must first pass through Freshman. Student started out the first day skipping down the street on his way to H. 5. When he came closer to the town, close enough to be able to see it, he began to run, and right in back of him he heard the foot- steps of Anxiety. Anxiety followed him that whole day. When his watch said that it was time to sit down and rest, he found Decision waiting for him. The first words of Decision were, llStudent, what courses do you wish to take through Freshman? Student thought and thought, and with Wisdom, Advice, and Guid- ance at his right hand, Student decided to fol- low Latin Avenue, Algebra Lane, English Street and Science Center. Student spent nine whole months in traveling through this first suburb toward University City. The trip was not easy, although Student ad- mitted he could have made it much easier if he had not made such good friends with Loafer, Mr. Put-Off-Work, and Study-hall Talker. How- ever, after the Freshman trip had been com- pleted, Student realized that he also had met some real, true friends whom he wished to keep with him through the rest of the iourney through H. 8. Among these were the street guards, called Profs. As Student crossed the street separating the Freshman and Sophomore suburbs, he enioyed the realization that he had only three more towns to pass through. Again he met Decision, and since he found that Latin Avenue was continued through this town, herdetermined to follow it to the end. Also, since Student had found Algebra Lane such an interesting place, he decided to take the road which seemed to resemble it a great deal, although it proved to be considerably rougher. This was Geometry Street and it was noted for its final dip at the end called Ex- aminer's Estimation. This was passed with great suffering and tail, but happiness was found on the other side. English Street was one con- tinuous road through all suburbs and was very pleasant from beginning to end, although it contained some tunnels which seemed endless. History House was a scheduled stop on the trips Quite a ioyous time was spent in Sopho- more. By the time Student entered the suburb of Junior, he was an experienced traveler. During the day he paced through the streets, and slept soundly at night after fulfilling the evening duties required of him by the Profs. Two great things happened in this suburb which Student resolved never to forget. Near the en- trance ot the community was a stage, and there was given a marvelous production which was enioyed by not only the people of Junior, but by all the people of the neighboring towns. Then, some months later, there was held a ban- quet by all the people of the suburb in order to extend good fellowship to that section near- est to the end of the iourney. Then came the last lap on the iourney toward University City, through the community of Sen- ior. Although this section had perhaps the roughest and longest roads, Student realized that he was enioying every minute of it. it had been the custom of all those who had gone before to leave a memory book behind them, and so with hard work and long hard hours, Student and his associates recorded their ac- complishments in a marvelous book that was to become a treasured souvenir of the iourney through Senior. After walking up the last sun- lit hill, which had always seemed so far away, Student received gratefully the certificate which would admit him to that gleaming, wondrous University City eM.

Your favorite reporter, Pearl Kemper, broadcast- ing from P. H. S. Auditorium where the Class of '47 is hoiding a reunion. Many famous and iri- famous personalities are here. George Baker is sitting on the right in a loud pin-stripe suit. George has realized his ambition to be a Santa Anita Author icommonly called Bookiei. Next to him are world-travelers Nancy Berry and Jean Black. You've been seeing Jean's picture in Lifee-the daring equestrienne. Bud Blackford iust ioined them. lYou know, he's the Canadian guide who's always getting Iosti. He came into the auditorium guiding singer Jean Bonnell. We have a telegram from Carolyn Carlson. Her duties as surgical nurse prevent her being with us this afternoon. Another ar- rivaI-Beulah Clarkewho is back at P. H. S. as a teacher. i understand her students refer to her not as Miss Clark, but the old et cetera. Maitland and Louanne haventt yet arrived. Maitland's fame as a rocket ship designer is growing fast, and Louanne, you remember, is the distinguished nurse who revives a failing heart iust by taking the patients' pulse. Under the big hat is Margaret Collins. Margaret has reaiized her ambition to become a primary teacher. We wonit see linguist Marian Doebele here. She is touring France and Germany right now, on special assignment for Newsweek. We got that news from Betty Doll and Loreta Fieno, America's first women football coaches. Ah,' royalty among us! Richard Fox, whose talent for hitch-hiking has won him the title of kingl of the hoboes. That was Powers model Teresa Fradianno who came in with him. Another tele- gram . . . from Dick Frey. Dick recently judged the 1957 Miss America contest and he's still recovering from iniuries sustained at the hands of the disappointed contestants. We hardly expect Don Geiger, since his professional bas- ketball team has a game scheduled for tonight. But there's Zoe Henn, just back from SwitzerA land, telling Paul Graeter all about St. Bernard dogs. Paul's doing stiil-Iife photography these days photographing hams for Armour and Co. He's doing almost as well as Jim Hopewetl, the big soap magnate. Just entering are Fred Huer- 30 kamp, owner of America's first air theatre, and Pete Huil, who's telling Fred his sad story. It seems Pete lost his diploma the night of gradu- ation, and he's still looking for it. Doesn't Ginny Hunter look handsome! She's still working at her ambition, which is to straighten out her affairs. We hoped Marilynn Jenkins would be wearing the new slacks she designed. Theyire a real successelinx Jenkins' Jumpers. Jim Jor- don should be here soon--he's working now for Mariemont Taxi, and they're always on the way. Oh, such a cute familiar squeak! Don Lemon's voice still does that, after ten years! We wish you could see Charles Ludwig. Trying to coach iike Kusel he decided to eat like Kusel! Bill McLeish is here busily autographing pro- grams. You know he invented that sensational fountain pen that writes. It's been almost as successful as Secretary Marilyn Meyers' inven- tion, the pad for bosses' bony knees. We miss Mary Patten. As airline hostess, she has -a rigid schedule. And Tom Payne's ten-year sentence isn't up yet. Poor Tom, all he took from that hotel were matchbook covers. Here's Tex Pea- cock of comic-strip fame. Her Peacock's Pixies certainly ended Disney's career. Clyde Phillips is with his orchestra's vocaiist, Ralph Sipe. And here, supporting a huge moustache, comes Handlebar Roland. The Summers Touchdown Twins are involved in a pro football season. They sent their regrets. But we are glad to see Jean Thompson, commerciai artist, and Miriam Thompson, who finally realized her secret wish and got into a fraternity. Joan Tice is busy di' recting a new play, HThe Gasman Goeth. Etta Vuotto, popular radio rhymster, is here, and so is Police Chief Joe Walker and private dick Paul Wordlow. Sally Whitcomb has under her arm her recentiy completed portrait of the class, a gift to the school. By the way, read Libby White's column on this affair in tomorrow's newspaper. Her last and neatest bit of reporting was a news article on Jim Wilkinsonts latest baseball contract.

And while the city slept, the seniors salvaged Perhaps you have noticed the change that has come over us in the past yeurv While formerly we were lazy listless undemlussmenhulmost over night we became energetic, industrious seniors, This change was brought about by the necessity of that universal Hevit, money. But without this extra money our annual would be an a impossi Il'ty. Methods.fcr bringing this cash into our treasury were in charge of our ways and means chairman, Jim Hopewell. Our steadiest source of income was derived from the sale of cakes and food at the basketball and football M games.

TO OUR FABULTY The Book of Proverbs of the Old Testament proclaimed the price of a virtuous woman to be above that of jewels. The ideal teacher is perhaps even more precious than this. For into the care of teachers is given the training of children whose minds are at that stage of growth when they are most easily influenced. These minds must be developed so that the individuals will become capable members of society. To this end, all of the teachersi store of knowledge cannot do so much good, perhaps, as their sympathetic understanding of the problems which hopeful hearts bring to them. Their impartial, conscientious interest in each student strengthens his faith in himself. The ocademic learning and the skills which the student acquires will naturally be of great use in the future, but of much greater use will be the character which was so successfully molded by these men and women who merely lived with him from day to day as they hoped he would learn to live. To these friends of ours go our prayers of thanks and our admiration, that they continue to give so fully of their lives to children to whom they are not even tied by the bonds of blood. -B.

BLACKFORD, Superintendent Ezmcg When Dre Einstein evolved this rather innocuous looking equation in l905, it caused barely ,3. ripple in the scientific world. Yet in l945, the application of that equation blew Nagasaki and Hiroshima to bits, and brought World War ll to on almost immediate conclusion. lntellectuully, man's success has been phenomenal. He has discovered even no- ture's ultlmute secret of transferring muss into energyethe some process which generates heat and light in our suneand the millions of stars. Furthermore, he has discovered how to duplicate that process at his convenience, here on this planet. Man must now, of necessity, live in peace. A Harvard scientist, Dr. Alfred S. Romer, recently stated that the rat is the most likely of all creatures to inherit the earth; Semehow, it lsnlt funny. Mun now has Gl his command the means of com- pletely destroying himself in the space of a few days, or perhaps in a few hours. Obviously, the kind of political and economic philosophy, and of religious practice, which causes or even permits wars must be replaced by principles and practices which beget universal wellebeing and universal peace. There is no other choice. We can swim under the ocean like fish; we con sour through the air like birds; perhaps by now we can hurl ourselves through interplanetary space like comets. Yet how futile are these things if we do not first learn to walk on the face of the earth like men? 36 EARLE R. SEIDNER, Principal With every class of seniors graduated trOm Plainville High School, or from any high school, go the good wishes to its members for success in the years to come. May there be among you great lawyers, skillful surgeons, wise teachers, successful business men, distinguished ministers, clever engineers, and the heads of fine homes. Whether the measure of your accomplishment is great or small, whether your situation in life is high or low, whether your influence extends to many people or to few, you will always shore alike in one respect: you are citizens of a mighty nation founded upon democratic precepts. Each of you is in part a ruler of a great land! Regardless of the degree of your success in the fields of work you may choose, the very fact of this democracy lays upon you a responsibility that you must accept and discharge. We Americans live and work and prosper in the democratic way of life which we have always accepted as the best and the most ideal the world has ever known. We cannot conceive that we should think otherwise. Yet today this way of life- our wuyeis being questioned and challenged all over the world. Herein lies your obligation, the work for which this school has tried to prepare you. You have not yet been called upon to fight and die for this land as others have; God grant that you may live and work for it so well that a time may come when all people will agree that the way of the United States is truly the best way to think and to live.

As seventh graders we were little horrors but as anyone can testify we outgrew this trait. Miss Millisor and t'Doc Kusel were our able advisers. Dorothy Blakeney was our president for the year. As eighth graders we looked scornfulty back on the juvenile seventh grade. Mrs. Krieder and Mrs. Barnes were our advisers for the year and Jerry Baker was elected president. The eighth grade state tests came all too quickly but we managed to OVercome this obstacle and soon took our place as freshmen; a wiser and quieter class. Our first freshman dance, the carnival con- cession, and sports occupied most of our time this year. Bob Larson, Jim Anthony, Jerry Baker and Joan Reid were our officers and proved very capahle. Mrs. Schaeffer and Miss Fields had the hectic task of being our advisers. Time passed quickly and we soon found our- selves sophomores. A great number of our boys and girls became members of the various clubs and athletic organizations at school. Our annual Sweater Swing was a big success and our con- cession rat the carnival again went over the top. Mr. Miller and Mrr Setter Were our advisers for the year and Jim Anthony, Bob Larson. Yate Deer and Barbara Dieckbruder were our officers. This last year has found us hard at work on our class play, ttSkiddingJ' Our class rtngs were c: wonderful Christmas present, and reminded the seniors that we woutd succeed them next year. The crowning point of the year was the Junior Prom, which gets better every year, as any iunior will testify. 46 FIRST ROW-Paf Ebersole, Rita Gruf, Sally Constabie, Nancy Boude, Ru1h Browning, Doris Campbell, Marion Boewer, Barbara Dieckbruder, Nancy Bailey.

Saehma'ze 65mm After years of hard work, we can finally soy proudly, We are the Sophomore Class. Upon entering Plainville we soon became acquainted with such terms as study hall, class, and detention Bill Linquist, Marietta Librandi, Marty Jones and Jim Baker were our ofFIcers for the seventh grade. .' To the surprise of almost everyone, we staggered through our first year very success- fully and finally become ttLords of the Lower Halls, that is, eighth graders. Our carnival concession took the prize for making the most money. Our advisers for the year were Mrs. Kreider and Mrs. Barnes. We took the state test in our stride and graduated to the Upper floor. A tough scholastic schedule augmented by extra curricular subiects helped us to pass our freshman year quickly. Mrs. Hopping and Mrs. Boyle guided us through our first year of high school. Our Windy Whirl was a big SUCH cess and we were eluted at the way our first dance was received. During our sophomore year football, basket- ball, baseball and track occupied our boys. The sophomore girls also participated in Y-Teens and G. A. A. We threw Hiterallyt two great dances dur- ing the year, The Harvest Hop tand the annual Sweater Swing. Both were well attended. 43 FIRST ROW Rundull Graig, William Hunaford, Thomas Averill, Beny Hutchison, Lois Kempf, Martha Jones, Rose Brunner, Tonya Hudgel, Loraine Halfhill.

Although most of us had a hard time rev membering our locker combinations and where we were supposed to be at what time, we did survive our first day. Mrs. Fish and Mrs. Boyle were our capable advisers, and they successfully guided us through our First trying year at Plain- ville. We elected our class oHicers for the year. They were Bill Hopewell, Carolyn Blokeney, Betty Bluckford, and Derek Hoxby. Mighty eighth graderSethat was us, believe it or not. We could now laugh at the new seventh grade and feel proud because now we were veterans of Plainville. Our advisers for the year were Mrs. Barnes and Mr. Mesch. Of- Flcers for the year were Wanda Gilliam, Ronald Klemme, Derek Hoxby, and Don Shokleford. Our carnival concession, the County Store, was a great success, We passed our state tests with flying colors and many of us were in the upper seven percent in the state. After graduat- ing we said goodbye to Junior High and looked forward to entering our first year of honest-to- goodness high school. This year we were admitted to the inner sanc- tum of the upper floor. We battled with the new mysteries of Latin, Algebra, and English, ab- sorbing and conquering whenever necessary. Our emcers were Elmer Simons, Bill Hopewell, Jim Ferns, and Ronald Klemme.

Playing nine games, four of which were with Class HA schools, the team won four and were unofficially crowned runners-up in the Hamilton County Class B schools. Against a total number of 139 points for their opponents, the Devils amassed 125 of their own. They gained the reputation of c: team, even though heavily ridden with casual- ties, that had plenty of fight and an excellent spirit. Mr. Norman Kusel coached the team with capable and enviable Eeodership, and without him the Ploinsmen would not have had the successful season that they had. For the first year, Mr. HErnie Ernsting served as assistant coach. Ernie did a swell iob in coaching the scrub teams in their scrimmages and in teaching the line the fundamentals of blocking and tack- ling. Returning from last year were Iettermen: Jordan, Baker, Geiger, F. Summers, Deer, Rob- erts, and Beckler. Practice got under way a few days before the opening of school. The first game, played on September 20, took the Blue Devils to Dayton against c1 strong Daye ton Oukwood team. Deer and Geiger were in- jured early in the game, weakening the Plain- ville team. The Lumberiacks won, 20-0. The next Friday night saw Piainvilie handed another defeat by the Norwood lndiuns. Al- though the score was 7 to 7 at the half-time, the lndians forged ahead in the remaining two quarters to win, 19 to 7. Jordan made the touch- down and Walker the conversion. The Central Vocational Hornets. were re- sponsible for the Blue Devil's third defeat of the season. Walker went over the goal in the first quarter and Cruin received a touchdown pass in the last quarter, but victory went to Central with the score, 26 to 13. Getting back into its own class, Plainville, at her home ground, won the first victory over 59 the North College Hill Troiuns. Jordan tallied twice, and Walker and Baker once each. The final score was 25 to 0. The Blue Devils of Plainvilie High traveled to Reading the next week to win a close one from the Blue Devils of Reading High. Jordan made three touchdowns and Walker made one extra point. The Plainsmen went home with :1 victory of 19 to 13. The team made it three straight when it downed a weak Fuirfield eleven, 30 to 0. Geiger scored twice while B. Summers, Beckler, and English accounted for three more. The Wyoming Cowboys were the fourth and last victims of the Blue Devils. Jordon ran his scoring streak up twelve more points and B. Summers, Kaiser, and Baker made the remain- ing thirteen. Thus Plainville won the lost of her home games, 25 to 6. Flainville played Woodward at the Withrow Stadium the next week and came out second best, 21 to 6. Walker threw c: touchdown pass to Jordan in the second quarter climaxing a 78-yard drive down the field. In their finai game the Blue Devils bowed to the champion lockland Panthers, 34 to 0. Al- though threatening to score a couple of times, the team could not get to the goal. At the Football Letter Banquet, at which time 23 letters and ii numerals were given out, it was learned that the Blue Devilts star back, Jim Jordan, and big center, Frank Summers, were awarded first-string positions on the East- ern Hills All-High Team. nJolunting Jim Jordan made a total of fifty-four points this year, whlie Crusher Summers played an excellent bruis- ing game at center. Piainville will lose nine seniors at graduation. These are: Walker, Baker, Frank Summers, Bob Summers, Geiger, Jordan, Hull, Hopewell, and Payne. The prospects for an even better team next year are good with the return of most of the previous yectrts line. There is some good material coming up from the lower grades. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P.

However he soon narrowed his selections down to twelve boys who pitched in together for a successful season. The captaincy was given by HDoc to Don Geiger, our swift left forward, who threw in a lot of baskets with the fast break. Don's beauti- ful defensive work was 0150 an asset to the Blue Devils. George L. Baker III was our great guard who poured 'em through game after game. His beautiful one-hund-push shot from the center of the floor won many a game for the squad. Jim Anthony, 0 fast, shifty, Ieft-handed for ward who was another fast-breuk artist, did much to help the team toward its victories. Mike Coleman, the tow-heuded whirling- dervish-on-o-basketbull-court, was our chief ball handler. His speed at darting hither and thither was confusing to defensive forwards and enabled him to pass the ball to his teamemates with a sleight-ot-hund uptness. Bob Summers, our six-foot-Fwe-inch center, was one of our main scoring threats. One of the top pivot men to come from Doc Kusel's 62 athletic program, Bob's complete control over the bankboard contributed to the team's morale when things looked bad. Jim Wilkinson is another boy who, thanks to 'tDnc'sH intramural program, developed into one of the mainstays of the Blue Devils. The boy who really could shoot was Dick Frey. His peculiar flip-of-the-wrist, twoehanded shot was deadly. He has a knack of going into a game in a tight place, standing calmly ot the side of the court, and swishing them through. Harold tSnaket Kruse was our tower under the rim. His six-toot-four-und-u-hulf frame has earned him the name of HSnake on the court. He seems simply to slither between the out- stretched arms of opponents and snatch the ball from the basket's edge. Gene Lentz, our corner-shot maestro, is cm- other asset to the squad and a detriment to defensive guards, who are hurrussed by his range-accuracy. Last but not least, was big Joe Walker, our passing forward. Joe was not a shooter, but his defensive play and ottensive play-starting helped toward Plainvitle's success. RESERVES i'Doc had an abundance of young basket- ball players from which to choose for this year's reserve basketball team and finally chose ten good promising players. l'Doc worked very hard with the boys and turned out a very aggressive ball club. The team was captained by Ev Spelman, a good floor man. i'Ev'l was the team's rebound- ing center and always controlled the ball off the bankboard. HEV also had a good eye for the basketball and could always be counted on for many points in a game. Ron Klemme was the teamis high-scoring forward having a ten point average for the sea- son. l'Ronl' is only a freshman and will be back next year Fighting on the rookie club. HRon and Ev will make a good pair on their future varsity team. Ray Adkins was the teams ball handler, play- ing a guard position on the team. Ray was a good passer and hit the bucket with regularity. He was also a great help under the basket as he usually got the rebounds on his side of the bankboard. Roy is also a sophomore, and will graduate to the varsity next year. 63 At the other guard position was Bill Lind- quist. Bill was outstanding for his lett-handed push shot. He usually connected for a good per- centage of points during the season. Bill was a good ball handler and always played Ct good floor game. He is another sophomore, and graduates to the varsity squad to fight it out 'for a position on the blue and gold. At the other forward position was Jim Baker who was a scrapper on the basketball court and was usually found on the floor more often than oft. Jim was also a very good shot, and usually hit regularly during the season. He, how- ever, only played half the season. Jim Potter took over Jim Baker's position very capably for the rest of the season. He did a very good iob and was a strong asset to his team. - Joe Morgan, Derek Hoxby, and Tom Bachman were always there whenever Doc needed them, and will be back for next year to fight it out on the reserve again for P. H. S. The Junior Blue Devils made a name 'for themselves this year, and everyone is expecting great things from them in years to come. 64 BASEBALL-i 946 Although the Plalnville Blue Devils baseball team surrendered the State Championship, they had a record of 7 wins and 4 losses. The first game of the season was with Western Hills Re- serves. Every boy on the team saw action in this game as Sonny Tibergheln and Bill Crigler pitched the Blue Devils to a 7 to 0, no hit, no run game. Plainville then came Up against Ter- race Park and made it victory number two by beating them 5 to A in a close game. Purcell was the first Class A victim of the Plainsmen who beat them 7 to 6. Bill Crigler pitched a good game, but was relieved by Lip Ludwig in the last inning. In the next game Plainvilie was beaten by Anderson 5 to 4. Terrace Park took revenge and beat us 7 to 2 even though Jim Wilkinson had a perfect day at the bat with three hits in three times up to the plate. Sonny Tiberghein then pitched a three hit, shut out against Norwood while the Blue Devils were able to get four runs. The Plainsmen took care of another Class A school as they beat St. Xavier 9 to l. The next game was with Milford but was not oHicial because it only lasted three innings and was stopped by rain. Reading, who later became the State champs, was the next foe. As soon as the team arrived, they had to start and weren't glVen any chance to practice or warm up. Reading took advantage of this by getting three runs in the first inning, but in the fifth inning Plainville scored four runs to go Into the lead. In the sixth, Reading tied it up. After this neither team seemed to be able to score until Reading broke the ice by winning out in the eleventh inning. The final score was 5 to 4 and was the best contested game of the year. Plainville then took the measure of St. Bernard, H to l, with Blll Crigter doing a fine iob on the mound. St. Bernard collected 3 hits while the Blue Devils collected 12. The Plains- men then defeated Milford 7 to 'I. Then came the district meet in which Plalnville was beaten by Terrace Park, 5-0. Charles Ludwig got the only hit for Plainville when he pinch-hit. Sonny Tiberghein had the highest batting aver- age of the team with an average of .371. Gene Lentz followed close behind with an average of .368. Jim Told had an average of .351, and Jim Wilkinson's average was .319. Charles Lud- wig was at but four times, collected 3 hits for an exceptional average of .750. The season as a whole was a successful one. TRACKel 946 Last year Doc's boys again brought honor to Plainville by placing as State runners-up for the third time in the eight years the school has been in existence. Next year the boys hope to be the bride instead of the bridesmaid, a goal which all their followers hope they will attain. Bill Anthony was again a member of the All- Ohio track team. He placed second in the State meet and in the 120 yard high hurdle. Taking many honors at State, he also placed third in the 220 yard low hurdles and sixth in broad iump. Jim Jordan, our other member of the All- Ohio track team, is credited with having broken the school's pole vaulting record in the State meet. This record was 11 ft. and now is il'8 t He ran the iOO-ZOO-and also on the 880 relay team. 65 Jim Anthony was third highest scorer of the team. Jim probably is the third best hurdler in the State since he always followed his brother to the tape. He also ran short dashes, broad iumped, and ran on the 880 relay team. Dean Kaiser, said to be one of the most prom- tsing Sophomores, ran the 100 yard, 200 yard dashes and on the 880 yard relay. Don Ferns for four years has been running the distances. This year he concentrated on the mile relay and the 440. Ben Cohee, another promising sophomore, ran the high and low hurdles and the mile relay. Bob Allen, a newcomer to track, copped 3rd at Miami and 3rd in the district. He is looked upon as one of the future great track stars of Plainville. mun: bgevgt email hut m 3 uh IT ' h it! 9m m m m thhhl H tithil'n ' re - GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Assodution, organized to encourage good sportsmanship, teamwork, and athletic development, started off this year with the traditional hike to Milt Joy. The otttcers elected for this year were: presi dent, Loreto F'Ieno; vice president, Tex Peacock; SECretory, Laura Wierwille; treasurer, Rita Graf; point secretary, LuVerne Ryan; publicity chair- man, Mary Lou Schreqongost; and our club od- viser, Miss Mildred Fink, At the first board meeting in September new ideas for each sport were put into eFfect to make the various sports desirable and enioy- able. Suggestions were given in regard to our social meetings which were enacted in the Tea Dance, Play Day, and our Cupid's Ball on Febru- ary 14. Plans for the chili Supper and our bcm- quet in June were made to prepare the girls for the memorable event. Managers and cap- talns of each sport were appointed. The managers of the different sports were: bowling, Rita Graf; riding and swimming, Bur- bura Poysell; basketball, loretu Fieno; kickball, Fay Rushart; baseball, Jean Thompson; volley ball, Rose Brunner; tennis and ping pong, Suz- anne Vosmer; badminton and archery, Mary Lou Schrecongost; and biking, hiking, and skating, Joyce Lehrer. Approximately seventy girls signed up to play 66 in the basketball tournaments after school on Tuesdays. There were six teams. The captains were Louunne Clark lWhitet, Betty Doll lMuroont, Nancy Bailey tGreent, Annoree Potter tFuschiqt, Margaret Hunt tGoldt, and Tex Peacock tBIuel. Fuschiu won the tourna- ment with Gold and Maroon struggling for sec- ond place after they tied in a thrilling game 12-12. They re-pluyed the game and Gold won by one point. The class teams were chosen after the color tournament. The Seniors defeated the Juniors, and the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen. For the honor of being the winning class team the Seniors defeated the Sophomores 15-10. The Seniors on the class team were Betty Doll tCuptuint, Tex Peacock, Sally Whitcomb, Nancy Berry, Loreto Fieno, Jean Thompson, and the alternates, Margaret Anne Hunt and Carolyn Carlson. The final tallies in the race for being high point girl ended after the color tournament with Betty Doll, ftrst, Sally Whitcomb, second, and Marion Boewer, third. The climax of the year's activities was a formal banquet. The new otTIcers were pre- sented to the club. Pins, guards, and letters were awarded and thus ended the G. A. A.'s 4th successful year in Plainville High School. H a 1; I353 W thhl tahith Sistttathiht -..'l mu-H-tt 77 m h, - h. .7 .--. 7 L.. - Buskel Brawl Wheee!

We have five such organizations here, each with its own aims but all with the same general goal, to prepare us to live successfully with people. The Hi-Y has been cm integral part of P. H. 5. since the school's founding, and in that time its purpose, to promote high standards of Chris- tian living, has not changed. This year's presi- dent was Dick Frey, and Mr. McNeil was the club adviser. The thirty-slx members of the Hi-Y meet every Tuesday night at the school. Probably the meeting which they will remember more than any other is the one during which Mr. McNeil's father impersonated some of Charles Dickenst characters. In conjunction with the Y-Teens, the Hi-Y presented an assembly prod gram on boy-girl relationship, with Dr. Frank Slutz as guest speaker. Later Dr. Slutz spoke cut a ioint meeting of Hi-Y and Y-Teens of this area. The high spot of the Hi-Y year came when, on April ii, they had their annual boatride. The Y-Teens, under a ditTerent name, have also been in operation since the first year of Pluinville's life. Under the supervision of Miss Pease, these fiftyutour girls meet every two weeks to learn how they may fulfill their slogan, To tind and give the best. Each year after the football season they give the big dance of the year, the Football Royale. The four upper grades vote on the queen and king of the foot- boll season, and they are crowned at the dance. At Christmas the Y-Teens sponsored a Christ- mas party for children from the Madisonville orphanage. The hard work of all the girls brought them the prize for having the most suc- cessful concession at the Carnival this year. They had a book and flower shop. To gain a better understanding of the ways of homemaking, twenty-seven girls meet each month with Miss Birks. This year's president of the Home E: Club ls Marilynn Jenkins. They have taken Field trips to the Taft Museum, and to Aims and Doepke to study oriental rugs. Mr. Keith has spoken to them concerning real estate. The big event of the year was their aIi-day trip to Indiana. The Language Clubs meet once a month with Miss Peuse to learn more about the culture of France and the Latin American Countries. Re- ports are given on the authors, painters, food, 70 ll ITi A I. ' iii ntt'm t ma: :1 think He lilt'm i; I 2-: I 'ii . Y-TEENS and music of the different countries. There are actually two clubs, the French Club and the Spanish Club. Tom Roland is the leader of the French Club, and Jim Anthony of the Spanish Club. The combined membership is thirty-four. Field trips have been taken to the la Normandie, the Art Museum, Rookwoocl Pottery, and the Spanish Inn. The Spanish Club plans to enter- tain several Spanish people who are visiting here in Cincinnati. The French Club has also visited a French-inspired Cathedral in Kentucky. Last and newest, but by far not the least, of the clubs is the Science Club. Under the able sponsorship of Mr. Martin and with Bill Mc- Leish as their president, this group of twenty boys has accomplished many things in the bi- monthly meetings. Established this year to pro- mote interest in science, the club has tried to do so in an interesting manner through field trips to such places as Proctor and Gamble, the Tele- phone Company, Andrew Steel Mills, and the Kettering laboratories. By using their imagina- tion, they managed to set up a Hall of Science for the Carnival. Among its many wonders was a robot which talked and sang. The Hall of Science was a great success. i 71 It has been said that these organizations are a large part of our school life. But they do more than take Up our time and bring us to- gether outside of classes. They teach us some vitally important principles which we would otherwise learn in a much more serious way. The inability to get along with people is so un- fortunate that it may cost us our iobs or our community standing. By learning to understand ourselves, our friends, and our teachers, we give ourselves the mental equipment which en- ables us to understand new peopie. Organiza- tions which bring about such close relations between teacher and pupil undoubtedly cause a better conception on both the part of the pupil and teacher of the problems which exist in school and in the world in generalhbe- cause these problems may be seen through two diFferent viewpoints. Such clubs also tend to lessen any strained conditions between pupil and teacher which may hindet the class work of the pupil, because the pupil begins tb think of the teacher in terms of good times which he has had. Probably things which are learned in such club meetings are more valuable than those learned in class because they are being learned more voluntarily. .TEV-q; 'CLASS CELEBRITY Science classes, as well as the entire student body, were thrilled this year when William Mc- Leish, senior student, received a telegram an- nouncing that his rating in a competitive three- hour science aptitude examination and his essay describing CI chemistry proiect had won for him a place among forty wlnners in the Westing- house Science Talent Search. These forty stu- dents were selected from sixteen thousand all over the United States. Along wlth his thirty- nine colleagues, Bill went to Washington for u five-duy session of interviews and lectures. At the final rating, he came out in second place. Second, in a nation-wide search. The class of 1947 is proud of member William McLeish. 72 SCIENCE CLUB : LANGUAGE CLUBS HUME EEDNUMIES ELUB The Plainville High School Band started off the year with c: bang. After becoming ac- quainted with their new director, Mr. Derrick, they began working on drills for the football games. Many new and different formations were included thls year. Their snappy music and marching added much to the games. Also new this year was the drum maiorette, Mary Lou Schrecongost, and twlrlers, Barbara Poysell, Rosemary McCracken, Pat Ebersole, and Bev- erley Newman. Their music also added the final touch to many of the basketball games. All through the year their goal was to earn enough money to get new uniforms. After the P. T. A. voted to buck the proiect, the band put on c: concert to start the belt rolling. As c: part 74 of the drive, the Marlemont Players gave the Philadelphia Story, the proceeds of which went to the fund. With this help added to that of those spirited citizens who gave money out- right, they were able to order 50 new uniforms. Early in the year an election was held for the first time in the history of the band. Bob Rcdle was elected president; Clyde Phillips, vice-president; Phytlis Williams, treasurer; and Anita Thomas, secretary. The band will lose only two members this year, and it should grow with members coming in from the iunior band. With this increase in number, and new uniforms, big things can be expected of the band next year.

Officers in the I946 election were: Tom Payne, mayor; Libby White, secretary; Don Geiger, treasurer; Joan Tice, clerk; Joe Walker, police chief; and Jim Jordan, fire chief. 83 COUNCIL, 1946 Louunne Clark Jim Hopewell Charles Ludwig William McLeish Tom Roland Bob Summers PATROLMEN Pete Hull Frank Summers FIREMEN Paul Wurdlow Jim Wilkinson Q wooaw On February 15, 1947, the senior class, with the aid and cooperation of all home rooms, all school clubs, and the Alumni, put pver one of the most successful carnivals in the history of carnivals. It commenced with a delicious baked ham dinner, cooked by the senior mothers. Tomato iuice, escalloped potatoes, green beans, vegetable salad, home made rolls, coffee or tea, and dessert completed the menu. A stroll through the school was then in order, with stops-at all of the con- cessions. A list of these would surely include the Fish Pond, the Bake Sale, the Book and Paste Shop, the Hall of Science, the White Elephant Sale, the refreshment stand, Penny Pitching, and the Country Store. At 8:30 one of the mast professional amateur shows ever seen was given in the auditorium. Then at 10 o'clock, the Alumni opened the Heartbeat Room, and crowds danced until 12:00 brought the close of the Carnival.
