Columbia In a long past day when some ancient civilization flourished the mound builders lived and prospered in the vicinity now known as The Plains. Time passed and the mound builders disappeared leaving the many mounds as a token of their former habitation. For many years the American — Indians battle cry echoed over the plains as the as the various tribes fought for supremacy over the vast hunting ground. The white man came. The pale11 faced god he was called by the Indians. Smaller and smaller became the primeval hunting grounds. The ring of the ax brought the sly fox from his lair. Strange wigwams made of logs sprang up almost over night. Scarcer and scarcer became the red mans food. He became alarm- ed. He liked the bright beads and the fire water of the white man but he liked not the white man3 ambition and he fought. But in the end tho pale face won and again the peace fires of the two races mingled. By degrees the red man dis- appeared and the strange tepees of the pale face grew more and more elegant and tho wild animals fled with their red brother or perished. The farms grew as the time passed and the pioneers passed bn.the route to the frontier. A school was established. _ Salt mining and coal mining grew to be of some importance. With the growth of coal mining and the advance of the manufact- ure of coal the salt mines be- came non existent. As the coal industry grew so did the population. A new school was erected and later a high s chool.

They have danced, played cards and now are deciding what they are going to do next for entertainnent. It is decided that that they will tell fortunes. They do this. Mr. Cree disguises himself as Prince Ali Ben Doo. Then the lights are turned low and he gazes into the crystal. The first persons to appear are Beulah Tinkham, Jean Hamer, and Vivian Blngman. I see, repeats Prince, those girls are trainers of heavy weight champions. You are trining girl3 to fight. OhJ Somo one else is coming in sight. It is none other than Betty Davies. It is not plain.

S. cane in the fall of 1933, 37 poroons answered.. This is among ono of the snalloot crows ever taken aboard. It ha . remained a3 such and now i3 ono of th smallest to bo mustered out of ac- tivo service. Undor the guidance of r, Pullen, the first year aboard the ship was very successful. 'Irue to Freshmen instinct, the whole class was tin .d and respectful to upper classmen. To aid in the command of the crow, officers were elected, President being Daniel Haines; Vice President, Eudora Stauffer; sec- retary, Bill Hawk. Of course, tho seasoned sailors had to hold on initiation for tho greenhorns. Thio was early in the fall of 33. It scemod that tho new members of the crow did not mind becoming full-pledged members At least they offered no objection. Another happening that spring that offered student life aboard the P. H. S. was the inauguration of track. Prior to this, baoc-ball had b-. ms the spring sport but track 30on took it3 place in popularity. Perhaps it would bo interesting to note who tho officers aboard the ship were this year. First of all there was Cap- tain Pullon starting hi3 first year aboard with the now crew. First mate Ur. Humphrey, hi3 first y ar aboard and another of- ficer starting his first year with us also was Chief Engineer Rannow. Two seasoned toes completed tho roster of officers. They were the Chef, Hr. Spitzer, and the Purser, Miss Diver. After the 3ummor vacation on the beach of Luck tho cruise was started again. Second year officers were President, JcanHsjnor Vice President, Ora Darnell; and Secretary, Kenneth Reeves. Our chief officer this year was also Mr. Pullen. He has always proved to be a good leader and advisor. The third year found the crew well experienced in the ways of life aboard the ship. 'V0 were fortunate in getting Mr. Pullen again for our class advisor. The assisting officers for the year were, President, Ralph Bryson; Vice President, Eudora Stauffer; Secretary, Harold Boling. This year the class started a new tradition when they gave a Junior Class Play� Whimsy , the first play in tho new building. The operetta given by the Glee Club was Magic Maker. The fourth and last year found the crew greatly diminished. Along the voyage somewhere sixteen members had left the crew. Five new members have been added making a Senior class of twenty-five. This year, our new sponsor and advisor, Mr. Cree was given the pleasure of teaching tho Senior class of 1937. The officers for the year were: President, Eudora Stauffer; Vice President, Betty Davies; Secretary, Helen Brctz; and News Reporter, Joan Hamer. April ana May were tho two busies! months of tho year. In tho early pa t of nay, tho Operetta Tho Governor's Daughter was prosontod. It displayed much talont on the part of those who participated, and still later, Growing Pains was given by those members of the Senior elass who did not have part In tho previous plays. Much hard and honest labor on tho part of the members of the Senior class led to tho publication of the annual. Baccaulaurate and Commomcomont wore among tho closing events of the year. June 3rd the crew of '3« descended the gang planks of tho ship p. H. S. to row up the rlvors of life. Itbm • the Senior Class of 1937 will to the Faculty the 3wcct memories of the Angelic Seniors.

Necking does not payJ Lucille McDonald, although she i3 very beautiful, should be more careful about her ap- pearance. I noticed a strand of hair out of place the other dy and a crooked stocking seam. Remember Lucille, slovenly ap- pearances never yet got a man for any girl. Idabellc Wallace is per- fect except for her appearance and personality. In answer to John Krivesti's quiection on how a bashful boy makes love, is not exactly fit- ting for a high school annual, however I shall attempt to give you a fev; pointers. First make a date with a lovable girl. Put on your best suit and non- chalantly walk towards her heme. For full details, send stamped envelope. Hohn Coley, it is here I wish to tell you of your great dramatic ability, although you are unaware of it your a bud- ding actor. I happened to be behind the scenes during play practice. You displayed many talents behi-.d the eyke. FOUR YEARS OF MEMORIES A Freshie green upon the Cshapus I chanced to meet one day, ' A Fre3hie in a cap of green, And trousers black and gray. His nose was red, I ho}je 'twas rouge. And his clothes were tattered'and torn. Ho more the sissy of the town, A new man had been born. One leg of his pants was rolled to the knee The other v as the same, I really had to laugh at him Though I know he wasn't to blame. Ile'd stood up and taken his medicine As every man should do. And now a full flodged Freshie was he. So stern, so loyal, so true. One year had passed; again I saw A man in a sweater of red, A man so straight and tall and lean With a curly brown bare head. But now he looked so wise That he made me think of the bird. That sits in the tree unseeen But never quite unheard. A sophomore in the highest glory Of all his s chool career, A sophomore who had learned to love His Alma-Hater dear. Two years of high school life had passed But he v as wishing now That it was his very last Of high school days, and hov I But September found him back again In dear old Plains High With laughter in his eyes and heart.

Josephine Coppers SENIOR WEINER ROAST On a dreary Friday night, October 9, 1936, the senior clasc held a woiner roast. It was originally planned that our destination be Harmony” and as the last car arrived, the clouds let forth their torrents. The only solution was to return to the school house which we did (that is after Mr. Cree fixed a flct tire in the rainj. By the time we arrived at the school house the rain had stopped, so we piled in the cars again and started. We then went to Salem Hill and tho flames wore leaping high , when, guess what I it startod raining I We ate our hot dogs in tho cars and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

WASHINGTON TRIP As'the train dragged into the Union Depot at Athens, we Seniors, with boxes and camoras wider our arms, excitedly clamoured aboard the train. Our first stop was at Parkers- burg where we switched trains and where many people also boarded the train. And at various towns along tho way others also got aboard.

They were gay, carefree, and happy, not realising that Junlor Hlgh Sohool would be somewhat harder than their grade school. During that year they had one night party and a weiner roast. themselves quite grows, up by attending a party and a weiner roast they passed that year very successfully. They started the next year as eighth graders and this year was not as eventful as the preceodlng year because things were growing old to them and they studied harder. Some attended the county ortorical. They had two weiner roasts and one party. That year they lost two members of their class and closed the year by expecting now members from Salem and Luhrigh to add to their roll in the freshman year. The freshman year was started with nine new members making a total class membership of thirty-six. Our first year of High School, Had two weiner roasts and one East party, and lost five members during the school year. They passed this year very successfully and everyone passed to their sophomore year. m the sophomore year the class had thirty-two members, one new member. This year they sold magasines to buy them a radio for the home room, and also Planned to sell magasines to buy other things and take part of the money and save to go on a good trip for their senior day. Officers were: Edward Stillwell, president, Robert McClain, Pro-idont, Iona Harrison, Treasurer and Secretary; Robert McGrancr, News Reporter.

The first game of the football season was with Brcman on September 25th. As a whole we were just a new team with only a few veterans. •Ve were on the losing end at the finish of the first half, with Breiaan leading 12-0. However, in the last half we came through with 13 points and we were victorious. The score at the end of the game wa3 13-12. The second game of the season was fought against a wo11 developed and oxperinneed Jaclisonville-Trimble team on the second of October. Although v c put up a great fight we were defeated by a score of 26-7. , October 16, v c met our old rivals Chauncey on a very muaay and wet field. Due to this situation neither team could do very much. The game ended with a score of 0-0. October 23rd we played Murray City's team that proved to be very wcax against Coach Rannow's ball club. We sv arned down on them life a hive of bees and stung them by a score of 34-0. Wc were in top shape and very eager to hand them a defeat as they nad done us for about two years in succession. There were many spectacular plays in this game. October 29th wo met our old friends Rutland and wc went right to town. Wo gathered touchdown after touchdown almost swamped then by a 3corc of 33-6. Wc were on the low end of weight and height but we came through to make a good victory for our team and school. November 6th wc gave another friendly team a good grind- ing by breaking up every play they v; ould attompt to make and they wont under the line of oth r teams to suffer a defeat from The Plains team by a score 27-0. On tlii3 occasion we wore planning to tear up every opponent wo net to bring uo our percentage of games and points. On November 13th wc went to Chauncey to give Thcisen's boys a little experience in playing football with The Plains team. We were out to erase that 0-0 3coro and wo made it. They were defeated by a score of 6-0. . c captured second place in the County League in football by showing a great ability to put forth our energv to the sport and in defeating our opponents.

The first game we played was with Bloomingburg, a fast team which thru the qeason had beaten class A schools. We- defeated them 6 to 5 in the extra inning The second game was with Glohster which had a very fine pitcher (Zimmer). The game went to the ninth inning without either team scoring. Then Zimmer got a two base hit and scored on an error, which won the game. Squad consisted of: Seniors: Reeves, a very fine fielder and a batting average of 344; Boling, showed up good in the 1 tournament as a very good hitter whon needed; Haek, first year out but played very good; Manda, improved in batting and also a very good fielder; Dicken, as the best throwing arm in the out- field; McGee, as pitcher. Juniors: Coley, regular pitcher; Wharton, who did very good. Sophomores: Nelson, lead off man, smart base runner and a good hitter; Armbruster, good prospect for next year; Stillwell, a very fine catcher, and leading hitter of the ball club with a batting average of 389. Freshmen Savage, first year out but very good; Smith, also a good man for next year. BOYS TRACK At the Athens County Track meet helcL.on April 30th, The Plains hoys took fourth. Arthur El is, Dan Armbruster, Bart Keeton, Ora Darnell, and Robert McClain came out night after night for many weeks practice. The relay team included McClain, Keeton, E1113, and Darnell, which placed third. Ellis placed third in the 100 yd. da3h and fifth in the 220. Armbruster ran a good race in the 440. Keeton took fourth in the 880. Krivcsti placed first in the high jump and second in the broad jump. Junior Coon got fifth place in the baseball thrown. The student coaches were Mr. Donofrio, and Mr. Sabo. The girls did fairly well under the circumstances this year. They were handicapped by having only four high school girls out. During the course of the season the student teachers changed, this being a great disadvantage. The girls had only two prac- tices a week for three weeks. With all of this The Plains girl3 placed sixth among the girls. Girls out this year we e Rhoda Lohse, pls.cing fourth in the 50 yd. dash, fourth in the standing broad jump, and finishing girl in the 220 yd. relay; Beulah Tinkham placed fifth in the baseball throw, and starting girl in the 220 yd. relay; Margaret Bramncr ran the thirty five yd. dash, and was third girl in the 220 relay; Jean Mc- Cullough did the hop, step and jump, and was second girl in the 220 yd. relay. Student teachers this year wore Miss Koutc, Miss Hcightman, and Miss W gnor. The only girl to recicvc a letter this year is Rhoda Lohse. TRACK GIRLS BASKETBALL BOYS BASKETBALL GIRLS BASKETBALL Tile girls basketball team started their practice v ith coach, Ur. Rannow and Miss'Jean Henderson and Miss Alice (Jeering of Ohio University, with Jean Hamer acting as girls� business manager.. The tear- wa3 started with three girls who had obtained letters last year: Budora Stauffer as forward and Beulah Tinkham and Idabelle Wallace as guards. Although the team was not very successful in winning the gomes, we believe they achieved a great purpose. The girls who will graduate this year and who took an active part on the team are: Eudora Stauffer and Vivian Bingman as forwards; Beulah Tinkham and Frieda Culver as guards. Thi3 will leave a good list of prospective girls for next years season. They are: Groce, Thompson, McCullough, ■ and Vessalo as forwards; Wallace, Loper, Brammer, D. Liggett, and 0. Liggett as guards.

Fourteen regular games were played and The Plains bowed only to Tiacine and TroyJin two tight battles. At the Athens County tourna- ment the boys played three games, winning from Buchtel by a breathtaking score of 15-12; then gaining back confidence when they won from Shade by a 39 5 score. In the final game The Plains and Ames-Born were tied with a score of 20-20; when the game ended. But by the sudden death rule, unfortunately The Plfeins was eliminated. With a determination to win, the team then traveled to Logan for the district tournament. Here by a three point lead, 33-30, The Plains won their first game and got even with Racine for their former defeat. The next game which was with Kiddloport wo suffered a 30-22 defeat which removed us from the tournament. The members of the toon were: John Krivcsti, center; John Coley, captain and guard; John Manda, guard; Bob Nelson and Ted Stillwell, forwards. Reserves: Lawrence Smith, Harold Boling, Eart Ilceton, guards; Leslie Coon, Clarence Savage, forwards; and Walter Y.harton, center. Tho team is very fortunate in losing only one of their regular players, which is lianda, and one reserve, Boling by graduation. All tbc sports this year have surpassed those of previous years; especially in basketball, as The Plains has turned out one of tho best teams wo have had for several years. This is duo to tho determination and cooperation of the team and coach, Mr. Rannow.
