Nancy is one of the few people who has stayed with our class since kindergarten. Her person- ality is one that adds enthusiasm to almost any undertaking, and she is noted for coming up With dry witticisms on every subject. An active member of G. A. A., Nancy could be seen cheering the teams to victory every Tues- day afternoon. She is one of the more fortunate individuals who possesses a decided art ability, and it was certainly used to a good advantage. Every time one of the senior money-making pro- jects was being planned, Nancy was called upon to make post- ers. And, incidently, the picture of the high school on the head- ing of the Blue Devil was de- signed by Nancy's capable hand. She is not only blessed with artistic ability, but is also envied tor her Huffy blond hair and smooth look in dress. An assistant of the concessions, Nancy helped make this year's carnival the best. Her future life Will certainly be entertaining. GORDON LEWIS COLEMAN Basketball 1, 2, 3. 41 Captain 2, 4; Track 1r 2,- Class Vice President 4: Civic Day Fireman 2; Junior Play Skidding 3; Operetta South In Sonora 1: Masque and Mantle, President 4, Good natured, well-known by everyone, Mike is one of those people Who stands out in a crowd, partly because of his White hair, partly because of his accent, and partly because he's just himselt. A good asset to any class, Mike the got that nickname from a little dog he once owned and loved very muchl has proved to be a very versatile person. He played on the first string oi the basketball team ever since he came here from Hazard, Kentucky, as a freshman, and as captain this year, our Roly-Poly has really been on the ball. As president of the Masque and Mantle, Mike helped that organization to be an industrious and efficient club in its first year. In such positions as vice president of the Senior Class and Chairman of the Va- riety Show, Mike always did his jobs well, and could be de- pended upon under any circum- stances. We'd wish him good luck, but, because of his per- sonality, heill never need it. 27 RUTH CHARLANE BROWNING Y-Teens 1; French Club 3; Junior Play Skidding 3; Masque and Mantle 4; Student Director of How To Propose 4. Ruth claims that her chief de- sire is to have black hair and blue eyes, but her friends are all satisfied with her as she is. She throws herself wholeheart- edly into whichever of her va- ried activities her interest is cen- tered on at the time. Her main interest is drama, which was well shown by her work in our Junior Class play, and the Masque and Mantle plays. Her portrayal of the little old lady in Sunny Morning was very in- teresting, due to its great con- trast to Ruth. But drama isn't her only interest. She is quite an artist and enjoys tinting photographs or drawing car- toons. Glance in the art room some afternoon, and see the beautiful paintings done by Ruth's capable hand. If she so chooses she can go far in the field of commercial art. This in- terest in art is carried over to her choice and taste in clothes We Wish her good luck for there is no stopping her.

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-

He is definitely the me- chanical type and can usually be seen either driving, or tink- ering with, his '37 Ford. Dave was a great help at all the stage productions here at Plainville, as he was the boy who rang the telephones and kept the cur- tains moving. Whenever any- thing needed fixing, Dave was there with his pliers and me- chanical mind. Dave was the envy of every senior when, in March, he took a two-week cruise on a destroyer-escort as a member of the Naval Reserve. Dave was interested in sports and participated in track and football. This season his ability to snag passes was demon- strated during the Lockland game, He was also a basketball manager for three years We all wish him the best of luck in his future life.

She is one of those friends that you can al- ways depend on. If ever there is something that needs doing, Carol is on the spot with a help- ful idea.

Carol has been partici- pating in most of the activities since her freshman year. She is especially inclined toward the music department and gave her all to the Triple Trio for one year, while appearing in tho operettas for three years. The tasks that she Chgses are usually the most difficult, but she al- ways completes What she has set out to do.

We all wish Carrol the best of luck in the future, and we know that her life will be an exceptionally happy one. n.5-
