Sometimes we can't help but wonder where Dorothy gets her supply of conversational ma- terial, for she is nearly always talking. Dorothy has her own opinions on every matter and does not hesitate in expressing them. She has a seemingly in- exhaustible supply of energy, much of Which she uses par- ticipating in school activities, in- cluding the Y-Teens and G. A. A. She was also on the Literary Staff of the Plainsman and was a member of the Student As- sembly Committee. Her persuas- ive manner and ingenious abil- ity as a saleswoman has proven invaluable not only to the senior class but also invaluable to. the Blue Devil, of which she was advertising manager this year. At the present time her favorite number one possession happens to be the frat pin bestowed upon her by a certain blonde from Blanchester. She also tells us that her pet dislike is being so young. Come now Dorothy, 'fess up! H It's not really so bad, is it? JAMES C.

Jim has been very popular with his classmates throughout this time because of his ability to keep people laugh- ing, and to take a ribbing With a smile. He has been one of the Class standouts in sports, par- ticipating in three major ones at P. H. S. He is a four letter man in two of them, and has quite a tow awards as a result. He ex- cels in track because of his speed and hurdlinq ability. Ale though Jim is a good athlete, he is also a good student, and has the ability to do any job given him. Jim has many interests, so it's pretty hard to keep up with him. He is active in clubs at school, likes to fool around with photography, takes an interest in music, and likes to play prac- tical jokes on his classmates. As IiIn goes on to college, we wish him the best of success. 25 PAT BINGHAM GA A. A. 14 2; Y-Teens I. 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Home EC, Club 3, 4; Masque and Mantle 4; Operetta South in Sonora 1; Operetta Jerry of Jericho Road 3. Pat has enough personality, wit, and pep for a dozen girls. and her impetuous actions have made her popular with every- one. Her spur of the moment re- marks can send anyone into hysterics, but she always man- ages to keep a sober iacei Tall and willowy, with a knack for responsibility-ethat's Pat, You can see her in the box office at the Ambassador or in a cream colored Plymouth, always look- ing her best. She likes dancing and horseback riding,- she dis- likes short boys, that is, 5'3 tall. Her pet ambition is to be a so- cial worker for displaced chil- dren. The postman, she says, is her best friend. Pat has partic- ipated in many school activities here at Plainville, perhaps cons centrating in dramatics more than anything else. She was very active this year in the Masque and Mantle, our new dramatics club, especially shin- ing in How To Propose. We wish good luck to Pat, and hope that she always keeps cheerful.

H. 5.; they will all know Nancy. tor she has one of those personalities that makes you feel that she is an old friend the first time you meet her. Nancy is always called upon whenever a piano player is needed by any of the clubs. Her active interest in music is also shown by her regular at- tendance of symphony concerts. As chairman ot the Ways and Means Committee this year, she was constantly racking her brain for new money-making schemes. Nancy was the lone girl in the Science Club, where she carefully raised and studied her many little animals. This will be good experience to add to all her fine abilities, tor mak- ing the good lab technician she plans to be. Nancy has been a great help in many projects here at school, and has been a member of the YsTeens and the G. A. A. for four years. Alto- gether, Nancy was an enjoyable and appreciable asset to P. H. S. ROBERT EUGENE ALLEN Football 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3; lntramurals 2, 3, 4. Quiet Bob arrived at Plainville from Terrace Park in his sopho- more yearetruly a great event! Right away he entered whole heartedly into the field of sports and made quite a name for him- self. He was a member of the mile-Ielay team and also ran the 880-yard run in track. He played energetic football all three years, which was very commendable. Bob also tells us he is a hunter in his spare time, but don't let that mislead you; he's a char- acter who hunts the usual rabh bits and squirrels while girls are out hunting him. However, he hasn't exactly been caught yet, for he says he definitely dislikes silly women. Lately we've no' ticed a fellow by the name of Versatile shadowing Bob, and upon inquiring the reason for his: presence, we found out that Bob is a very good cook. We don't know what Bob plans to do in the iutu1e, but we all wish him good luck in whatever he chooses. 24 PATRICIA LU AYCOCK Glee Club 1, 3, 4: Triple Trio 37 Operet- tas, South in Sonora l, lerry of Jericho Road 3; Carnival Variety Show; Masque and Mantle 4. Pat is our southern belle. Her soft draw! has stuck with her through all six years at P. H. S. Pat has a beautiful singing voice as she has proven in the Glee Club and Operettas. The Carnival Van'ety Shows have been benefited by this lovely voice for two consecutive years. Pat's only dislike seems to be spinach, and as a remarkable contrast, her special interest is six footers; blond ones at that! Anyone can find her by merely looking behind a double choco- late malt. Pat's good disposition has won her many friends, and Will continue to do so through- out her life. She was very active in the dramatic Club, Masque and Mantle, this year. She was in the play How To Propose, and she showed them too. If you were to ask Pat what her ambition is shed confide that she wants to gain weight. But it's the thing to be small now- adays, so she is right in style; and we all like her as she is.

MARION RAE BOEWER Glee Club 1: Y-Teens l, 4; G, A. At 3, 4; Home Ec. Club 3, 4; Annual Typist 4; Commercial Club 3; Blue Devil Typist 3. Everybody at Plainville can say that Marion has always been a good sport and a good friend. Of course she stands up for her opinions and even the Atomic boml: couldn't Change them. We wouldn't be a bit surprised. if in ttve years the paper read that Marion Boewer was run- ning for councilman. If it was up to Plainville High she would Win 1000b. Marion shines in any, and all sports, and has been a loyal member of the G. A. A. She is the best outfielder Plain- Ville ever had in girls softball. She bowls about 145, and won three awards for bowling 200 on different occasions. Marion likes basketball and has played it for two years. Almost every Saturday night, you can see her litttnq around the skating rink, showing the teachers her new steps. She never took a lesson ebecause the teachers took from her. ThatIS Mim's secret record, and even it she doesn't say much about it, just watch her. 28 WALTER BERGEN COHEE Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3. 4; Football, Manager 1; Intramural l, 2, 3: Spanish Club 3; Masque and Mantle 4; Annual Business Staff 4. Benny, as he is better known to us, was really one of those boys who would do anything for a friend. Whenever there was a class activity, Ben was always on hand lending his enthusi- astic and zestful support. Ben's talents are not limited to busi- ness-like activities only: He was active on both the basketball and track teams all through school. He was a supporting member of the Masque and Mantle this past year, contrib- uting much with his part in How To Propose. He has also become well known as a trav- eler. for he has made many trips to Indianapolis during the past school year and incidentally be- coming a rabid hockey fan be- cause of this. He also travels around Mariemont pretty much, for he is constantly driving his little black Studebaker through town. Benny isn't sure where he will take up his higher educa- tion, but Wherever he goes we know that he will be a refreshe ing addition to that institution. 4-...1-emi. m- mmmmm-
