.VmV..V..V.,V The Mound Builders CLASS PROPHECY OF THE NINTH YEAR One fine evening near graduation time of the ninth year. 1921. I sat thinking of the last few years which I had spent at The P. H. S. and gradually n»y thoughts led to the future of my classmates. However, as 1 tried to im- agine the lifework of a few of them. 1 fell asleep, and then came to me a wonderful dream. In my dream I was suddenly convey to Rome. Here I wandered about the streets from one place to another. At length, coming to one of the ancient temples. I sat down on the step to rest, when a young lady came out and said the would tell me the future of my classmates, if I wished. I his is what she told me: John Gabriel had become editor of a great newspaper: while Maye McAllister was teaching school in New Orleans. She told me that Margaret Krivesti had graduated from college and had become a first-class nurse at St. Frances Hospital, Columbus, Ohio. Then she told me of my other class mates: First Hershel Darnell, was’catcher for the “Giants,” a result of the training he received while attending the P. H. S. Two others of my class, Joseph Lyons and Delphin Keeton were so venturesome as to trv to find gold in Patagonia. Next, to my surprise, she told me of my old class'- mate, Eiizabe'h Schmidt, who had become a famous missionary in the foreign fields. Helen Jewett was also a missionary. Next she told me of my two other classmates .Cecil Hale, who was a teacher in Cleveland and Vergene Sheilds a teacher in Toledo. Thump! 1 1 1 With a crash I was brought back from Rome to The Plains High. After I had pinched myself sufficiently to be convinced it was all a dream, I hhastened to get my paper and pencil and write down what I have told you. At any rate no class has graduated with better material for making the world go round than this class of our. the ninth grade of 1921. Clara Marie Gaskins. NINTH YEAR POEM I’ve been asked to write some poetry, I’ve surely had a time. For all the lines I’ve written. Not many of them will rhyme. We. the Seniors of ’21 Are as happy as can be. Although there are only twelve of us. We’ll reach a hig degree. Miss Brohard, as class teacher, we chose. Because she is gentle and kind. But when we get noisy and fretful, She makes us study and mind. For our class colors we’ve chosen The dear old white and blue. White which stands for purity And blue, which says, “be true.” Our motto. “Green, but Growing,” It fits us to a T, But when the heights we’ve reached and kept. Quite proud of it, we’ll be. Now give three cheers for old Plains High. The best the whole world roud. Give three cheers for the Ninth year. Till the old school roof just sound. Margaret and Mae. Seventeen
