Whenever there are any school activities going on you can count on Jean being right there making them a success. Jean, one of the most sought after girls in the school, disproves the old saying: e Beautiful but Dumb eby keeping her grades at the very top. Last year she convincingly portrayed the character Mrs. Hardy in our junior play. lean moved to Rich- mond, Virginia; but we were all glad to welcome her back as a senior. She immediately got into the swing of things by be- coming our Blue Devil assistant editor. Besides doing all this, lean has taken up the hobby of raising Persian kittens. Jean has proven to us her capable leader- ship in her participation in our many senior projects, such as being in charge of the very suc- cessful carnival dinner. 80 When she says- I'm going to write a bestseller someday, we don't doubt her a bit. Good luck lean. CHARLES OWEN MILLER Hi-Y Z, 3, 4; Science Club 3, 4,- Intra- murals l, 2, 3, 4; Football 3; Tennis 2, 3, 4: Blue Devil Staff 3; Operetta terry of Iericho Road 3. Charlie came to us from Lexing- ton, Virginia, in the eighth grade, and made a hit with us right away. His southern accent, easy manner, and friendly smile have never failed to make him one of the most likeable mem- bers of the class. In addition to this his musical endowment has always been of enjoyment to everyone. This ability also won him the unique distinction of be- ing in the Junior Class Play in his freshman year. Charlie has always had an ever-active inter est in sports. He participated in football, and was on the tennis team for several years, besides playing intramural basketball during that time. He was also editor of the sports page of the Blue Devil his junior year. Charlie spends most of his spare time at the Old Drug Store, where he claims to be champion soda-jerker. He says his ambi- tion is to have a lifetime job of loating, but we don't really be- lieve him. BABETTE MARIE SCHMIDT G. A. A. l, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Home EC. Club 3, 4; Operetta Jerry of Jericho Road 3: Masque and Mantle 4. Busy Bobby adds cheer to any group. She always has some news to relate to us in a story form Which we all enjoy. One of her pet peeves is those people who come and ask her how to spell her first name. They usually go away considerably happier or slightly more con- fused. On the basketball floor this lass is a favorite choice for forward, as any player will tell you. She has been an active member of G. A. A. for four years and has been in the Glee Club for two years, having also taken part in the Operetta as a junior. But her talent doesn't end there-she sings, sews and cooks with no difficulty. With this background it is no wonder that she has been a loyal mem- ber of the Home Economics Club for the length of her junior and senior years. Her ability to knit sweaters is the envy of all senior girls. Bobby tells us her ambi- tion is to become a nurse, and we're sure she could cure anyonel

RICHARD DALE McLEISH Class Play Skiddinq 3; Science Club 3, 4; Class Treasurer 4. Dick is one of those people you don't always notice at first, un- til he gets a chance to shine by doing something that he is best suited to, which is almost anything. Though he is small in stature and quiet in manner, he really makes himself known by his friendliness and the capable way in which he gets things done. Ever since Dick first joined our class as a freshman, he has been an active supporter of all class activities and topped it all off by becoming the treasurer of the Senior Class-a very good one too. In his third year here Dick further added to our pres- tige by turning in his delightful performance of Grandpa in the Class play, Skiddinq. As far as studies go, Dick has retained his ambitious reputation by majr oring in math and science, doing a notable job in each depart- ment, and he intends to follow high school with an engineer- ing course in college. We cer- tainly wish him the best of luck in his field. MARIAN GAIL ROESSLER Glee Club 1. 3, 4; Operetta: 3: Home Ec.

Marian came to Plainville in her freshman year. Since then she has become an active member of many clubs and an active participant in sports. Red, as she is known to her many friends, has been on the honor roll almost constantly in the last four years. She is especially skilled in typing and plans to become a secretary after she finishes school. Marian has re- ceived much valuable experi- ence along the secretarial line being Doc's private secretary. A constant inhabitant of the typing room, Marian and her buddy Rita. can be seen practically any day of the week running off that neversendinq supply of stencils. She was vice-president of the Masque and Mantle Club and secretary of the Senior Home Economics Club. Marian has been outstanding as a G. A. A member, particularly in basket ball. We will long remember her as the referee who never failed to catch you when you tried to take those few extra steps. 38 CHARLES I. METZ Intramural Sports. Charles has already had a good look at the big wide world, hav- ing been in the army tor two years. He left Plainvitle in his sophomore year to enlist. After months of training he was ship- ped overseas, where he spent most of his time in France and Germany. He took in many iam- ous and picturesque sights that he will long remember. He was discharged in June, 1947. The following September he re- turned to Plainville, and we were all very glad to have him back. Charles is a qood-natured iellow with a rather subtle sense of humor. He is generally quiet but enjoys a good argument now and then, particularly when it comes to his favorite topic, the infantry. He thinks it's tops. He added many amusing and interesting moments to our gov- ernment class by relating some of his experiences of army life. He was active in intramurai sports and especially liked basketball.

NANCY JANE TRILETY G. A. A. 21 3. 4,- Triple Trio 2, 3; Oper- ettas, Hold On To Your Hats, 2, HIerry of Jericho Road 3; Y-Teens 4; Masque and Mantle 4. Shortly after the beginning of our freshman year, Nancy are rived from Milford to join the ranks of the Plainsmen. She brought with her a sunny dis- position which has withstood the many responsibilities that have been heaped upon her worthy shoulders throughout each year. Nan's assistance could be counted upon at any time, because she was always ready and willing to lend a help- ing hand to the occasion. Many of the grand successes oi our Class have been due to Nan's nevereending abilities. Nancy was an enthusiastic participant in many activities, and a few of her interests include radio plays and the study of languages. We're sure Nancy could do either job well, but she tells us that her main ambition is to be- come a nursery school teacher. So maybe she'll study the arts of Blissian and radio in her spare time. We know that Nancy has a successful and interesting fu- ture ahead. IOHN HARVEY PFAU Civic Day Fire Chief 4; Track 2, 3; Foot- ball 3; Spanish Club 3; lntramurals 2, 3, 4. One of those fellows you notice in a crowd because of his manly physique, lack is a classmate with whom we have enjoyed spending these last six years at Plainville. A person that we have found to make exception- ally good company, Iack is known for his ability to crack a funny joke While maintaining the soberest of expressions. Jack became more popular than ever when he acquired his PlymOuth convertible, and he could be seen every morning bringing a gang of fellows to school, and taking a larger one home in the afternoon. lack was also interested in the sports world, and played several years of football, as well as helping Doc with the younger players this year. Now that our high school career has drawn to a Close, we wish the best of suc- cess to this Classmate, knowing that he will make as favorable an impression on others as he has on us. 40 CARYLL MARY THOMAS G. A. A 1, Z. 3, 4. Point Secretary 4: Commercial Clubl Secretary 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Home EC. Club 3, 4,- Operetta Jerry oi Jericho Road 3; Blue Devil Typist 3: Annual Typist 4. Whenever there is work to be done in helping the class. you could always find Carol Willing to lend a hand. She has par- ticipated in many activities dur- ing her four years at Plainville. Carol likes basketball, music and humor, and oh yes, she also likes a certain senior, and can usually be seen giving most of her attention to the latter. Art is one of her many hobbies, and her greatest ambition is to be a commercial artist. She would also like to design clothes for a fashion magazine. Carol was the G. A. A. point Chairman in her senior year, and worked very hard getting some of the girls their letters and pins. Carol is very congenial and she gets along well with everybody. You may have noticed the unusual spelling of her name under her picture. Caryll is on the birth certificate, but her first grade teacher thought that it should be spelled Carol. As our final ape predation, we spell it Caryll.
