IEANNINE ANN LINEBACK Gt A. A. l, 3, 4,- Home EC. Club 3, 4; Masque and Mantle 4: Chorus 3; Oper- etta Ieny of Jericho Road 3. Jeanie, as she is known to her friends, is interested in music of any kind, and she shows this by her enthusiastic interest in most at the musical activities of the school. Jeanie was in the Oper- etta, Ierry of Iericho Road, in her junior year, and, as you certainly will remember, this was a great success. She would like very much one day to have some connection with the music world, With such avid ambitions we're sure that Jeanie will get her Wish. Another of her am- bitions is to really learn how to type: not just by the hunt and peck method. Look out Jeanie, here comes Mr. Wuerdeman! Ieanie was very active in many organizations, and the G. A. A. was particularly benefited by her abilities and spirit. She has very few dislikes, but the main one happens to be her chris- tened name, Jeannine. We think she is rather silly, for it is really a very pretty name, as anyone would agree. LOUIS CHARLES GRAETER Football 3. 4: Science Club 3, 4, Secre- tary 4; Spanish Club 3; Track Manager 34 4; MY 3, 4 Quiet, blond-headed Louie is one of the Senior Class's hardest workers. Louie seems to have an inexhaustable supply oi energy, and he is quite willing to devote this enthusiasm to the projects of the Senior Class. All you have to do to get Louie to do some- thing is just ask him. and he does it. Sometimes he has made previous arrangements with a certain drum majorette, but she is pretty understanding. Lou has been very active in P. H. S. sports, participating in football and acting as Doc's right hand man for two years as a very ef- ficient track manager. He played intramural basketball also. This year Lou was one of the rugged linemen on the football team. Late in the season Lou suffered a broken wrist, and had to lay off for the remainder of the year. Louie wants to attend college, and we all know that when he graduates, there will be one more happy, successful man in the country. 33 LOIS RUTH LEAVITT French Club 2, 3; G. A. A. 3: Y-Teens Z, 3, 4. , Lois has always been an en- thusiastic supporter of the Plain- ville teams. Whether it was a tootball, basketball, or baseball game, Lois could be seen selling torrid canines tor thelSenior Class, collecting tickets, or just doing anything in general that will aid the seniors. Always will- ing to lend a helping hand, Lois has benefited many an organ- ization, and as chairman of the Y-Teen Christmas Party for the orphans, she certainly proved her capability. Lois could usually be seen helping Mrs. Reis in the cafeteria. In making the rounds with the menu every morning, she was a welcome sight to the teachers and some of the more fortunate students. Lois plans to become an accom- plished author, and her short stories have given us many an absorbing English period. We all wish Lois lots of luck in the literary world, because some- day. we're certain, we'll be able to say, We knew her whenl

But don't let this picture throw you. Underneath that businesslike and mannerly iace there lurks the other side of him. In sports lay has lead the intramural bas- ketball league in points and also for home-runs in the softball in- tramural league. During the has- ketball and football games, he was the one who was there with the cokes when you needed that refreshing pausei Active in the Hi-Y and the Science Club, Iay became essential to their suc- cess in functioning properly. His main interest includes basket- ball and football. lay would like to study at Notre Dame and we are all sure that those of us who have known him here at Plain- ville have benefited by his ac- quaintance, and in the future we shall look back and say to our- selves, Gee what a great guy. BETTY JEAN HUTCHISON G. A. A. I. 2, 4: Y-Teens 1, 2, 3, 4. Where there is work to be done, you'll always find Hutch ready to lend a hand. In the cam- paigns to raise money for the senior class, Hutch came out as the top saleswoman. Her friendly smile that carries a hint of her southern charm makes Hutch an asset to the gang. Hutch's most reliable source of conversational material is tell- ing of her little sister's recent escapades. Another subject that has been the topic of many amusing conversations is the fact that Hutch, a mighty sens ior, contracted a childish dis- ease, chicken pox. Hutch has al- ready realized one dream that every girl looks forward to some- day. A diamond ring, third finger, leit hand, given to her by that certain man Whom Hutch has already found. Besides this, Hutch is the envy of many a girl with that naturally curly hair that defies bobby pins and curlers. 32 JOSEPH L. FERGUSON Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4,- Football 3, 4; Spanish Club 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Ioe's sense of humor is always in evidence and many classes have been greatly enlivened by his comments. He isn't exactly the ambitious type, but he hopes to get through lite on his inher- itance of a million dollars when working at the grocery. During his years at Plainville, Joe's in- terests have been centered around sports. This year he was a great asset to the football team, and the intramural basket- ball teams have been benefited by his enthusiastic playing for four years. Joe was very inter- ested in the Varsity cheerlead- ers this year, and much of his time was spent promoting at the foot of Indian Hill. One of his most noticeable characteris- tics is his happy-qo-lucky dis- position. Whenever you hear that laugh, you can always tell who is behind it. Ice is also one oi those iellows you Classify as tall, dark, and handsome. There are plenty of girls in P. H. S. who will bear this out.

HAROLD WENDELL KRUSE Basketball 2, 3, 4,- Football 3; Civic Day Patrolman 4. If you had happened to be walk- ing down the hall sometime and had seen a student towering over the rest of the people, it was Harold, better known as Snake. Harold acquired his nickname when he came out for basketball his sophomore year. His arms and legs were so long that the name was a na- tural, Today this is about the only name he will answer to, al- though some people still call him Harold. Because of his height, Snake is the perfect type for basketball, and this fact can be proven by just watching him in a game. Earlier this year Harold got a new Studebaker, and now he can be found driv- ing all over town and there- abouts at just about any time. Harold is the possessor of a fine sense of humor and a friendly smile. He can always be counted on to provide a lot of laughs and good times, Snake is one of the most popular boys in school, and is certainly a friend of everybody. ROSALYN EDNA LUEDERS Glee Club Z; Operetta Jerry oi Jericho Road 3: Spanish Club 3; Y-Teens 4,- Masque and Mantle 4. Ros came to us from Withrow in her sophomore year. and with her quiet nature and beautiful voice she added much distinc- tion to our class. In her own con- servative manner she has gone about her affairs in such a way as to merit considerable credit and respect. Her vivacious per sonality and ever-ready smile considerably brightened the halls of Plainville High School, and she can be spotted a mile away with her shining blond hair. Ros has also sung many times before a Plainville audi- ence, notably her performance as Jerry of Iericho Road in the 1947 Operetta, and on the many occasions that the class of 48 has called upon her, Ros has offered a ready and capable re- sponse. After graduation she plans to go on with her study of voice, and hopes to enter the Iuliard School of Music in New York. We all wish the best of luck and prosperous career to this pretty and talented class- mate. 34 DEAN PAUL KAISER Track 1. 2, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Intra- m'ural l, 2, 3; Science Club 3, 4. Dean is one of those persons who is always on the go. He has an abundance of energy, es- pecially when the bell rings at 3:30. You know what we mean? Dean, along with some of his buddies, is always ready and willing to play a practical joke on someone, whether it be teacher or student. Dean picked up the nick-name of Motor be- cause of his ability to run like a deer. This ability has given him a berth on the track team since his freshman year. His speed was a deciding factor in many a track meet for P. H. S. Dean also played three years of foot- ball and his senior year was the leading scorer of the team. He was the hero of the Wyoming game by scoring two touch- downs, thus providing an upset. Dean has many interests, one of which is a tall, slender, blonde and another is tinkering around with automobiles. Dean pro- fesses to liking three things, namely blondes, brunettes, and red heads4on't we all! Good luck to a colorful classmate.
