As the doors opened to admit the thrilled school kids bent on viewing the wide corridors and airy new rooms, there came also another group who looked just a little less confident than the others. This brave band was the first Sophomore or Rat class of Plant High School. However, they didn't stay in subjection long. Stuart, Sam and Tooker played football and Sam and Stuart gave Hillsborough their Hrst licking in basketball. By Christmas we were past the rodent stage and watched the new ones initiated. Then came the first Annual Carnival, which was our own little idea. Holmes was elected ll10St popular boy of the Carnival and we won the prize for the best song. Quite a record for Sophomores, what? During that memorable first year Holmes was president and we were just loaded with school spirit. Summer came, and we were Sophomores no longer. September saw the beginning of another school year and we were -Iuniors, that is most of us were. The football squad saw many determined Alunior faces, and new ones received their football letters. Sarah Hulsey was class president and editor of the Pep O' Plant the first semester and Louise took over the reins of government next time. The Carnival came around again and we found that our burlesque of Hamlet won the prize for the best stunt. ln the hrst election for King, Bob Gilliam conquered, backed by his loyal juniors. Becky Price was his beautiful queen. Then came the junior-Senior banquet and we had a great time, though some of us did have trouble with the chicken. To cap our junior years our representatives on the baseball team, Tooker, Sam, Stuart, Jules, and Buster won for us the city championship, and we went on our summer vacation planning great things for the next year. The days of rest passed quickly and we came back to our now beloved Plant with a great idea of our importance as Senfors and a desire to Hnish our high-school careers in a blaze of glory. We were very ably represented on the football team and were proud of its accomplishments, in- cluding the battle royal on Thanksgiving day. jack Will- singham was elected Vice-President of the Student Council. Before we knew it we were embarked on our last semester and wishing it wasn't our last. Sam was chosen president of the Student Council and Stuart president of our class. One of our members was again King of the Carnival when Holmes was elected King Pantherilla ll, and Marguerite was chosen the power behind the throne, his better half, the Queen. Franklin, state golf champion, led his State championship team to the Miami tournament, where they did themselves proud, placing second. And then the day came that we had been striving three years to realize. We proudly and yet sorrowfully took our places on the stage at graduation and received the prized diplomas. And as we did so, we thought of Plant, what a grand old school it is and how we hated to leave it, we whole-heartedly wish success to its future student body. PAINT Kl,i.1.v, Hisloriun. 1930
