The Mound Builders EIGHTH GRADE CLASS POEM We are mighty proud of our class, We are climbing to knowledge fast; But without Miss Glancy and Mr. Garrett. We would not be able to show so much merit. Then here’s cheers to the Eighth Grade, Which true American Boys and girls has made. With Literature, Algebra, History and Art, Each with a zest has taken part. When each someday his fortune has made. He may look back to the Eighth Grade; And smile and say, “We did our best; And may God. Miss Glancy, bless. LYCEUM COURSE I his year for the first The Plains School and community have had the benefit of a High School Lecture Course, presented by the National Alliance Bureau of Cincinnati. The benefits derived front such a course are well known by those who live in the districts where this form of instruction is offered. This year the course consisted of five numbers as follows; November, Tierntan, Cartoonist, who gave an hour of entertainment that proved be- yond a doubt, his ability as a clever cartoonist. December: The Duo Little Players, who entertained with songs, music, readings, a short play and car- toons. February 23: “The Otterbeins,” a male quartette, made the biggest hit of the season with their songs, music, impersonations and short sketches. March 8: Miss Fitzpatrick, Kentucky Song Bird, gave a high class program of songs and readings. March 15: Dr. Brown, a nation wide lectur- er, presented the last number of the course with a wonderful appeal to the boys and girls of today as to how they may build their future success. It is to be hoped that next year will find another course offered to this Community- Nineteen

For sometime the high classes called us “greenies.” Nevertheless, we determined more than ever to gain a higher place in our dear old school- This year we again entered school, but as a more dignified class. We were thirty-two in number when we returned, and at the beginning of the sec- ond semester, reinforcements were brought in, numbering our band forty-six. We organized our class on March 3. 1921, that we might participate in school activities. Our girls have shown merit on the basket ball team and some of our boys have been chosen for the athletic field and orchestra. Now that we are about to close the work of the second year of the Jun- ior High School and enter upon the duties of third year, we think of our mot- to “Altius Petens,” and remember that we, departing may leave “Foot prints in the sands of Time.” T.

We continued our work through the first semester with much pleasure. The final examinations and mid-year promotion came. We lost fifteen of our number, who were in the A class and were promoted to 8th grade. But, nevertheless, we have twenty more sent on to us from the sixth grade, thus making our number thirty-seven. The work in the junior high school is much more interesting to us as we have six different teachers and are permitted to take domestic science and manual training, both of which are instructive and entertaining. On March 3, 1921, we organized our class with the following officers: Belle Cheadle, president: Guilford McGlone secretary-treasurer; Susie Middler. class poet; Belle Cheadle, historian and Miss Watkins, class teacher- Our class colors are crimson and gold. Our class flower, crimson rose and our motto, “Let us be helpers.” Please accept this offering from the wearers of the crimson and gold The Historian Twenty
