ia Mnmtfr luilforB 22 NINTH CLASS WILL We, the graduating class of The Plains Junior High School of 1922 do give or will without much red tape etc. the following: The class in general leaves to the whole class all the hack-dated calen- dars. The mottoes and the flag (which, by the way are too heavy to take with us) and a most ship-wrecked, broken-backed, dilapidated and forlorn dictionary. Then Anna Belle Lowry leaves to some nice curly-headed girl, maybe Vivian Erb about a dozen or so kid or electric curlers, (guaranteed not to leave a single wave). Mary Terrell leaves to some one all the ink stains on her desk. Blanche Cochran leaves to some one her authority (pass it on). Gertrude McLain leaves to Guilford her No. 10 shoes. Alma Hale leaves to the Eighth Grade girls her half-finished box of red paint (rouge). Helen Coley leaves to Lena Preston her nose-beaten powder puff. Lloyd Thorne leaves to some one (who can’t afford to buy one) his much-borrowed and used knife. Kenneth Powell leaves to Wilbur Branson his much bent specks- Barney Mercer leaves to anyone his ready-made, ever-ready Smile. John Hanus leaves his share of burnt cork (left from the minstrel) to some one who might (accidentally or purposely) need it. Audra Sherwood leaves a badly used and bent finger (and toe) nail file. Pete Barkie leaves all the chewing gum under his desk and seat. James Moore leaves to—well may he—Ben Frazier his habit of getting love-sick (at least) once a week. Alice Tate leaves to the Eighth Grade girls her receipt for ear-puffs. Hazel Hunter leaves her dignity to—anyone. Elizabeth Barto leaves to An- na Billie several sparklers (imitation diamonds). Thelma Noble leaves her giggle to Anna Schmidt. Orvan Potts leaves his very much dilapidated lunch box. Joseph Charney leaves the remains of a can of denatured axle grease to Haves Shreves (seeing that Hayes’ hair just won’t lay properly.) Robert McCallister leaves his seventeen jewel eye brow movement. Paul Tipton leaves his freckles and ability to become a general nuisance to human- ity to any undersized Eighth Grader—maybe James Gabriel. Frank Cook leaves his by-word—“well fo’ petty’s sake.” and Dorothy Ball leaves to Marie Alesire all the definitions on her desk including the one for density, which Franklin Cook (To a clerk)—“I wish to see your ‘hand me downs.’ ” Clerk—“Do you want a belt on the back?” Franklin—“Do you want a slug on the jaw?” Blanche C.—Here is a note signed ‘Mi. T. Head.’ ” Anybody would have known that when they read the note.” Twenty-nine she never could remembe CLASS GRUMBLERS Ima Nutt and M T. Head.

Bv earnest efforts and hard work we should have made our teach- ers and schoolmates admire us, not as individuals, but as a class. W'e have won honors—as many as any other class—but lienors are not the most important things to gain during one’s high school course. W e se- lected as our motto: “W illing Workers” anti we hope to uphold that motto always. , . As we gained our victories over seemingly hard trials of the past we only leared to overcome future hardships more easily, and although we ha e al- most reached the end of the first year of our [unior High school career, we are. as vet. just beginning, higher and better things await us if we but strive to attain them. —Wanda Powell, the Historian.
