Play Skiddinq. If you should see a red flash dash past you in the hall, don't give it another thought, that's just the treckle-faced kid with the horn-rimmed glasses going from one of his classes or activ- ities to another. In those classes and activities Bob has excelled in every field he has undertaken, though especially in science and mathematics. In the field of science, which he plans to take up after college, Bob has been at the top of each class and has done very well in state scholar- ship tests. But our boy Radle is no bookworm. Having played four years of tennis, he was honored by being given a trophy for being the best boy player in the Miami Valley. During his junior and senior years he was captain of the tennis team Bob also rates highly as a basketball player, having worked hard enough to land a berth on the varsity squad his senior year. He plans to con- tinue his education at DePauw. Bob is bound to be a success. SUZANNE VOSMER G. A. A. 1, 2. 3, 4: Y-Teens 1, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 3, President 4; Spanish Club 3: Masque and Mantle 4,- Chairman of Senior Carnival. Suzie's Winsome personality captivated the hearts and admir- ation oi everyone who knew or came in contact with her during her years at Plainville. She will always be remembered for her radiant smile and sparkling eyes which are natural possessions of hers. Suzie loves having a good time and was always ready to assist in entertainments, and was equally as handy to assist in any work that was to be done. She was a very active and loyal member of the GA A. A. Sue was also a tour year member of Y-Teens and was president her senior year. She was a member of the Spanish and Dramatic Clubs. As general chairman of the Senior Carnival she really raked in the money. Next year Suzie plans taking a course in Home Economics at the Uni- versity of Cincinnati. Suzie is the kind of a person that we will always connect with Hout dear old school days when we sit , alone reminiscing in years to come. 41 ROBERT ALLEN ROUSH Hi-Y 3; Baseball 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3 Bob is rather on the small side, standing approximately 5'7 , and is usually seen more than heard, Many times this quality proves to be a very desirable asset. Although small in size, he is large in spirit. Bob has a slow, cautious air about him that some- times gives him a lack-a-daisical appearance, but this is com- pletely untrue. He works at the Mariemont Theatre and also at the Hyde Park Country Club on a part time basis. When Bob is not working, you will usually see him driving about in a grey Chevrolet, or roaming around with Skin Bauer, who is well- known to all P. H. S. students. Bob has several likes, one of which is the love for outdoor life. In the fall he hunts, and in the spring and summer he fishes. As an added attraction, he took on the responsibility of being' student manager for the baseball team his sophomore and junior years. He leaves Plainville with our best wishes for a happy and prosperous future.

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.

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.

As president of the HiuY and captain of the 1947 football team, he proved himself to be an excellent leader. He played four years ot football, and each year he was an out- standing player on the team. As a result he was elected the King of the Football Royale this year. As for other activities, he gave a wonderful performance . in the Junior Play as Judge Hardy. Ierry has that determin- ation which is hard to find in many people, and we know that his never say die spirit will help him in attaining any goal he desires.

A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 4,- Spanish Club 3,- Shillifo's Fashion Board 2.- Masque and Mantle 4; Civic Day Councilman 4; Annual Art Editor 4. Laura needs no introduction, for everyone knows her as that girl with the starry eyes, and the Winsome personality. You can always tell when Laura is es- pecially happy, for she fairly radiates her joy to all who are within the limits of her sparkling smile. As far as talent and cap- ability go, she is right on top. After being chosen for that la- borous job as Art Editor of the Annual, she went on to prove to her class that the choice was in- deed a wise one. Besides art activities, Laura has been a faith- ful participator in the G, A. A, and Y-Teens for all four years. The Spanish Club and Masque and Mantle claimed her interest during junior and senior years respectively. Laura was a big hit in How to Propose as the beauteous Lady Ermintrude. We could go on forever on the abil- ities of this unusual girl, but we are sure you are quite well ac- quainted with them. 42 BEN HENRY WEBB Football 3, 4, Manager 4; Baseball 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2. 3, 4 Tall, muscular. easy going; that's Ben. Anyone can recog- nize him a mile away by his unusual, slow walk. He entered Plainville in his freshman year and has been a valuable par- ticipator and manager of intra- mural sports ever since. Like the rest of us, he frowns upon those Monday mornings when he has to rise, it seems, in the wee hours of the night. Once he ar- rives at school however, his hap- piest period is spent in business law class, with those drowsy study halls a close second. In his junior and senior years Ben did an excellent job in his posi- tion as center fielder on Plain- ville's baseball team. He was noted for his ability as one of the hardest hitters as well. He also enjoys bowling and main- tains a high average. Many a class has been enlivened by his deep voiced comments. Af- ter graduating he is planning to . join the Navy and get a good look at the world
