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.

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.

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!
