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.

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!

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!
