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.

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.

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.
