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!

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.

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.

Ralph also has been a faithful member of the chorus for three years and has a fine baritone voice.

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.
