B ulwer-Lyt ton Since books are part of the basic equipment of our high school days it is natural that we should compile into a book the activities and experiences that we wish to remember. From the beginning of our high school days which we are about to finish, books have furnished us with the fundamentals of different subjects. Books give us our academic background but this is only part of our education. The other part consists of our athletics, clubs, plays, dances, and unrehearsed tun. Into this year's annual we have put the highlights of the year Ninteen Hundred and Forty-Nine. This the senior year book, the end of the road for forty-nine students here at P. H. S. But everytime we leaf through the annual We can relive that football game that was so exciting or the time the basketball team played a wonderful game against a tough opponent. We can remember the night at the end of the season when the King and Queen oi football were crowned by the coach, the laughs at the rehearsed and unrehearsed incidents in the class play, and the fun we had scraping together the money for this year's publication of the Plainsrnan. Into this book has gone the makings of memories of our days at Plainville. gantmw Seniors V. Faculty . .. .. Classes . .. ,. Clubs .. .V .. Sports .

He has received his Masters de- gree from Ohio State University, and has started work on his Doctor's degree at the same university, He spent four years in the army being assigned to the Field Artillery at first and later being transferred to the Army Air Corps Where he served as Flight Control Officer. Af- ter the war he returned to Maple Heights as a teacher Of mathematics and as the coach. Later he served as Dean of boys before coming to us. Mr. Conrad is interested in continuing his work for the doctorate, and we at Plainvilie wish him well. MARION I. CONRAD Principal 29 IOHN D. BLACKFORD Superintendent Since Mr. Blackford came to the Plain- vilie Schools in the fall of 1944, he has worked diligently to improve the stand ards oi the school system. His interest in high scholarship, and his friendly support of student projects has won him a place of high regard among the students. Mr. Blackford has entered into com- munity affairs and by this time is well known and respected. We know that Mr. Blackford will con- tinue to make Plainville one of the best school systems and the senior class of '49 is fortunate to have such a superintendent.

S. with a bang and you can still hear minor and major eruptions from us at times, especially when we get our new and original ideas. Our first outstanding achievement upon entering P. H S. was to give the first seventh grade dance, a huge success we might add. Then to send off the year's Senior Class. we gave an extra special Prom.

As freshmen we started getting into the swing of things by giving a dance called the Cupid's Caper. Our ticket selling con- test which we sponsored to help raise money for new band uniforms was a great success. Advancing to a still higher position as sophomores we continued our money and fun making capers. Early in the seasonr we started off by giving the Cinderella Ball, which once again added to our increasing .. John Graeter 37 treasury. At the carnival this year we were given the Opportunity to show the upper classmen our ability by giving a bang-up bake sale. We also became locally distin- guished when some of our classmates de- feated the group of Terrace Park sophcrnores on Hello Teacher. We are well represented and are contributing some real athletes in all the fields of sports. Our girls are also very active in the G. A. A. and Y-Teens. With our capable advisorsl Mrs. Handman and Mrs. Barnes, we look forward to an even better junior year. In the year of '47 we entered Plainville Highl worried and frightened. -The booming noise of the lockers and the awful troublesome combinations bothered us for a few days, but we finally got into the swing of things. We were guided by our very helpful advisors, Mrs. Kreider and Miss Battels, and our presiA dent was Don Forrester. As eighth graders the year seemed to go very fast to us, as we were occupying our- selves With new and interesting events, such as the carnival concessions and sports, baSe ketball and track.

At last we became freshmen, and most of our time was occupied with our freshman dance, carnival concession and sports. We know our present athletes will be great atha letes in years to come. We had as our ad- visers, Miss Keckley and Mr. Miller, to whom we looked for advice. In closing, we hope that our sophomore year will prove to be as interesting and sucd cesstul as our freshman year. We are sure that it we have the cooperation in the future which we have had in the past, we will some- day be successful seniors.

This year we were again iortunate to have Mrs. Barnes as our able adviser. Many new members were admitted at the beginning of both semesters. Those joining at the beginning of the year took part in the beautiful and effective candlelight ceremony of the formal initiation. Our meetings were heid every two weeks. Occasionally there were joint meetings with the Hi-Y after which refreshments were served Numerous topics were discussed dura inq the year by both groups. One of thei most interesting being What I Like and Dislike About the Opposite Sex. 2! 6, President .................... Morgan Damerow Secretary .................................. Randall Greiq The Hi-Y of 1948 and '49 was one oi the most active of school clubs. Under the leader- ship and guidance of Mr. McNeil, the HivY had a very successful year. This year the Hi-Y met every Monday night at seven o'clock in the school, the meeting being limited to one hour. In October the club held their intormal initiation in the school. Everyene had a good time, especially the 01d members. During the football and basketball games the HisY sold programs which were a great help toward making money for various proj- ects. On one occasion the boys presented Mr. Kusel and Mr. Ernstinq with firstoaid kits. 44 Vice President. .. , Donna Lou Meyers Treasurer ...... .. ..................... Jo Ann Gander As is customary, the Y-Teens enjoyed presenting the Football Royale. The photograph concession, one never be- fore had at Plainville, was operated by the Y-Teens at the Senior Carnivaii There is little doubt that any activity during the whole school year was as great a success as the pot-luck supper given for all Y-Teens in March. The cafeteria overflowed with both food and people. The old saying, The more, the merrier, certainly proved true. Everyone had a wonderful time on the hay- ride and picnic held near the close of school, a fitting climax to an extremely successful and delightful year for the Y-Teens. Vice President .................... .......... Tim Ferns Treasurer .................................... Dick Graeter On the list of special meetings was the joint meeting with the Y-Teens held in the High School. On the program was a panel discussion under the direction of the two respective presidents, Phyllis Williams and Morgan Damerowt In the line of recreation a volley ball game between the faculty and Hi-Y was sponsored. During February, the formal initiation was held in the Mariemont Community Church. To wind up the year's program the Ht-Y, in March, sponsored the Vocational Guidance Program which turned out to be a greater success than the last. 45 Swim; Wame gcaaamc'w President ......................................

It was also in October that representatives were sent to the Future Homemakers of America meeting at Owens- vi11e, Ohio. Many unusual ideas were learned at this meeting and used in the club's plans. One project of the Home Economics Club was to sell coffee during the football season. All of the clubs money-makinq activities were directed toward taking their most im- portant trip in the spring. 7aed5mmz 74mm gcwamc'cd President...... ...Corrine Mazza Vice President .......................

The Girls' Athletic Association, under the capable leadership of Mrs. Howard and its officers, encouraged good sportsmanship, team work, and athletic development.

Managers were chosen for these sports and the individual sports. The traditional hike, With much tun-making and frolicinq started off this interesting year.

Although the three games played were lost; the girls had plenty of spirit which carried over into the intereschool volleyball season. The volleyball honor teams turned out to be very successful. Sprinq proved to be a very busy season also, for the G. A. A. members. There was baseball, track, badminton, archery! and tennis. The big event of the year was the banquet, which ended all the activities. At this affair, letters, pins, and guards were awarded. Other special awards were given to the members of the honor teams. Newly elected officers were presented. And thus ended another success; ful Girls' Athletic Association year. Science egag Presidentw. D. Graeter Vice President ......WI.

This Club combines good times with the process of learning- This year the Club has spe- cialized upon the application Of the slide rule to solving Problems. The Math Club was under the direction of Miss Keckley, and since she herself has such a keen interest in mathematics, we know it was Very capably performed. We Sincerely hope the Math Club Centtnues next year With as much zeal as it has this year. The Science Club, directed by Mr. Martin, has grown into one of the most progressive clubs in the school. The main purposes of the Science Club are: first, to further the scientific incline tions of its members, and, sec- ond, to create an interest in science among the other stu- dents of the school. This club provides projec- tionists for all occasions, and sometimes conducts experi- ments for seventh and eighth grade science classes. Because the new members who joined this year show un- usual scientific ability, the fu- ture for the Science Club looks very bright. President. D. Graeter Vice President ................. 1.

Under Mr. Gossard's capable directorship the club has produced two one- act plays and some side-split- ting monologues.

In our monthly meetings we learn of the domestic and bel- ligerent affairs of the Roman people, their habits, descrip- tions of their homes and coun- try. We also learn of great leaders, as Caesar and Cicero, in the classical field, their back- ground and feats. The I. C. L., one of the newer clubs in P. H 8., is affiliated With the Na- tional Association, and thus we learn of achievements of other groups. Mrs. Handman, who is very learned in the classics. was our advisor and under her guidance! the I. C.

Even so, the team came through with flying colors. Ray Adkins, center and captain, was tops as a leader. Besides putting all he had into blocking and tackling, he hetped even more in keeping up team spirit when the odds were against them.

Mr. Larry Haines B111 Lindquist, the other guard, c'ould al- ways be depended upon to fill in the holes on defense or to block them out on defense. Iim Potter, playing left tackle, was one of the scrappiest men on the team. The other tackle, Dick Graeter, was a conststanly hard worker throughout the season. Our ends, toe Morgan and Tom Bachmann, did a fine job, and Bill Hanaford turned out to be one of the fastest runners on the team.

Although the season showed more losses than Wins, the team has excellent possibilities for next year. Leroy Federte, captain, was the one who set up most of the plays and made a good scoring record. Art Bones Hopkins, the tall boy on the team, was great on rebounds. Bill Blanton, a freshman and one of the requr tar five, proved to be a good passer.

Of the ten games Plainville's baseball team played last year, they won 505k It took the team a little while to get started as there was not quite enough time for a good practice ses- sion before the season opened. Even with this handicap, they came out on the good end of the sc01-e with a nice team batting average of 328. Nelson Becklerl who led the team in batting with a fat 590, held down center field and ale ways played heads-up ball. lack Betts came second in batting average with a fine 500; he should see a lot of action as Plainville's catcher in 1949.

Senior and backbone of the team were Dean Kaiser, who ran the 100, 220, and anchored the second best 880 relay team in the state: Wes Eaton, who ran the 440 and was a meme ber of the mile relay that holds the school record; Ben Cohee, who ran in the 880 relay: Jim Anthony, who ran the hurdles and the 880 59 Ernie Ernsting Ville's little surprise man on third, could hit in any field, even though he was a left-handed batter. Ben didn't surprise anyone When he batted out a good looking 404. Joe Ferguson was next man at bat; no worries about Ioe's getting a hit. not with 400 for a batting average. Joe played his first year of high school baseball in 1948 and did a fine job of it. CliH Loy, who played as a very able left fielder, was also a good batter with a 332 average.

They took on all challengers of the first bell gym class and fell into the losing column only once in all their contests. Being the best team of this Class, they advanced to the eliminations. Here they met the best teams in the school, and through their good running and passing they proceeded to become the 1949 :hampion intramural football team of P. H.

Five teams entered the eliminations; they were captained by Tull, GreiQ. Gerard, Lindquist, and Fieno. When it came to the finals, the two teams left were those of Greiq and Tull. Atter a very exciting game, Tull's made up of juniors, won by one point. Therefore they were pro claimed the 1949 basketball champions. 61 Student Direcfor .. Wayne Montgomery This past year has been very suc- cessful for the Plainville High School band. Under the supervision of the new band instructor, Mr. Downer, the band has put in much hard work and has done a great deal to improve itself. The band students themselves formu- lated their marching maneuvers. Through their formations and march- ing the band proved its ability for variation. Under the able direction and super- vision of MI. Alton Downer, our new music instructor, a Plainville High School Chorus was formed, composed of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniorse The chorus has spent most of its time learning three part, semieclassical songs. We know the chorus will con- tinue to afford pleasure to all who hear or participate in it, aeedmdew Barbara Watson, Susan Meyers, Pat Rivers, Camille Champlin, lean Roush, Carolyn Told. Every athletic event needs leaders to help the crowd cheer the team on to victcry, The cheerleaders, Who represented P. H. St this year had the zip and pep that it takes. Lead by senior, Carolyn Told, the five gals did a grand job of work ing out cheers and getting the school ready for a game by having rousing pep assemblies. 62 The four lovely ladies led by Leslie Haldeman, the drum major, proved to the public that they were very capable of the position they held as majorettes have had new uni? forms and they sported them in true band fashion. The group helped to make half-time at the football games an event at Plainville.
