DEDICATION We the class of 1938, respectfully dedicate this issue of “Mound Builders” to Mr. Herman W. Humphrey in appreciation of his pleasant and under- standing guidance for four years as our class sponsor and two years as our superintendent. A DREAM OF P. H. S. As I closed my eyes one lonely night, I could see a school house just in sight; As I wandered on. a break of dawn. Then I walked across the green grass lawn. I opened the door and stepped in the hall, I walked up the steps: not a sound at all; I went in the room where the Seniors should be. But no one seemed to be there but me. The seats were dirty and covered with dust, The typing machines had begun to rust; I looked out the window but whom could I see? For no one seemed to be there but me. And then a voice I seemed to hear, A voice, I thought it was coming near; Then I awoke, and strange it may seem. It wasn’t real, it was only a dream.

APPRECIATION The graduating class of 1938 of The Plains High School expresses its most sincere appreciation of the splendid work and fine spirit of all those who have helped to make our high school education possible. As a class, and as individuals, we give our most heartfelt thanks to all who have helped to make our stay in high school so happy and profitable. First, our appreciation is expressed to our parents whose guidance and provisions for our welfare have made it possible for us to attend this institution of learning; next, to our instructors, whose patience and toil have helped us to attain our goals successfully; and last, to our fellow students who have helped to make our school life a pleasant memory.

They were eager to find what school had in store for them. As they entered the door, they clung tightly to their mother’s skirts. One little red headed boy, especially, came in crying. Mama, I don’t want to go to school”; now that boy is one of the outstanding members of the senior class, Walter Wharton Jr. Miss Shannon, our first grade teacher w’as very dignified, and taught us how to use paints, crayons and paste pictures in a book. In our little chairs wre gather- ed around our teacher and tried our best to learn different words. At the end of the year she bid us adieu, and that ended the first year of school. Next year we entered the second grade. There Miss Weatherbee taught us the fundamentals of education; reading, printing, and counting. This year all the girls were crazy about movie stars and could be seen trading pictures every recess. Lucille wras always trading a picture of Billie Dove to Kathryn for a picture of Douglas Fairbanks. In the third grade our teacher. Miss Hooper, kept close tab on us for now we were learning the cute little tricks that wrere to help make up our personalities. Even then Melvin Moore was developing his dreamy way. and Idabelle was squir- ing the cute, intriguing way of fooling the teachers. At last we reached the fourth grade. During this year Lucille and Idabelle had their first and only fight. They were saved by the recess bell. This was one of the many acts with which Miss Alta Cooper had to contend, but she hated to see us leave. Then the fifth grade, when Miss Elliott took us down to her house w’here we prepared our own dinner. The boys set the table while the girls were busy in the kitchen. But Oh! that day. which is the most outstanding thing to all the girls, w’hen Bart Keeton entered our room! Every girl quarried about who would get him When we finally reached the sixth grade we thought we had gained all the knowledge that was necessary but Miss Elva Cooper quickly changed our minds. She was only too glad to send us over to the high school building. In 1932 we entered the seventh grade, a group of shy, green kids. This year wre had our first weiner roast at Stag’s Mound. Mr. Humphrey, our adviser, tried to help us overcome our difficulties but we “w ere too backward to make use of the advice he gave us. Next year, in the eighth grade, we had a bigger and better weiner roast. This one w’as held on Courtney Hill. The evening w-as spent in rolling down the hill, and one boy even fell in the creek, ending this weiner roast with a splash! By this time wre had overcome some of our shyness and had accepted Mr. Humphrey as a friend and net as one w’ho rules us with an iron hand. We then entered high school and w ere joined by the Luhrig and Factory Ramblers: Arthur Ellis, Rhoda Lohse. Dorothy Fierce, Eleanor Stephens, Tom Jones, Dan Armbruster, Earl Huseman Fred Kinnison, Eileen Brewer. Harold McBride. Tom Jones and Clifford Willis. They w’ere welcomed by the rest of the class and soon were friends of all. This year had a tragic ending by Walter having a smash up at the foot of Morris and Brown Hill. Everyone was slightly shaken up and howT! As Sophomores we w’ere r.o longer green. Net much happened this year for we w’ere to busy studying. In our Junior year Mr. Calvin became our sponsor and proved to be a loyal friend as well as a good adviser. There came a great shock to our class when four 1938 1938 THE MOUND BUILDERS 7zss bsszeq sej mmj mm m CLASS HISTORY CLASS HISTORY of our classmates quit school to enter the field of matrimony: Ruth Hatfield (Martin), Delphia Stalder (Cleninbriel), Emma Brooks (Finneraty), and Eleanor Stephens (Hawk). This year was also the year of many other exciting events. The class play Trouble In Paradise in which Dan Armbruster played the part of Wild Bill Hanlon and Art Ellis Tubby Davis. Idabelle Wallace was the stern matron and Kathryn Groce cleverly carried out the part of a country hick. Walter Wharton was a football hero who made love to Lucille McDonald, an orphan. Roy I angel was the green freshman who was tormented by Specs. Tom Jones. Rhoda Ix hse. Marian Guseman and Dorothy were typical college girls. Melvin Moore, flashing his money, was Porter Hooks a wealthy student. Leslie Coon, believe it or not, was a hardboiled professor. Bart Keeton stole the show, playing the part of a colored janitor. Snowball . And last of all was Arvilla Phillips playing the part of Aunt Mildred Moore. The Junior-Senior Banquet was also a big affair, starting off with a chicken dinner and ending with a dance. At last the final year came. We were now very dignified and sorry the end was near. The first social event of the year was a banquet given by the Juniors. Oh. what a dance! Even Mr. Kail tried to do the Big Apple. Then the trip to Washington D. C. which we all will remember. One of the things that impressed us most on the trip was the splendid view of Washington from the Washington Monument. All will remember the feeling of reverence when they visited the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Before coming home we drove down the Beautiful Potomac to Mount Vernon the home of our first president George Washington. Everyone was glad to come home and get some much needed rest. As the old saying goes Everything Good Must Come to an End. The Seniors realized this as they started on their last six weeks. Not much work was done for every member was busy preparing for graduation. Some were busy with parts for the Senior Class Play, while others worked on Class Night Exercises. Then on May the 28 the greatest social function the Senior Class had ever attended, the Alumni Dance, was held in the auditorium. To every Senior’s mind came the thought that this would be the last social gathering in which all would attend. Baccaulaurate and Commencement were the closing events of our high school year. As members cf the Senior Class drift out into the sea of life let us hope that they prove as successful as their school life has proven. 1938 THE MOUND BUILDERS 1938 CLASS PROPHECY CLASS PROPHECY In the dimly lighted room of blue, there is seated a fortune teller dressed in a long grey garb and a tightly fitted turban. The room is cold, and gives one a weird feeling of ghosts, as the seventh son of the seventh son of the seventh sen of Prince Allah Zula Oh’lah gazes into a beautiful sparkling crystal which is placed before him on a small table covered with black velvet. An old man enters the room. He is bent with age. His eyes have failed him; he wears thick glasses and his forehead is wrinkled from many long years of studious thinking. He says to Prince Allah Zula Oh’lah. my name is Mr. Calvin. Thirty years ago tonight my Senior Class graduated from The Plains High School. I was very fond of this class and tried to keep in touch with them, but as they grew older they drifted apart, and I lost all trace of any of them. Now that my life is about ended. I would like for you to reveal their accom- plishments to me. The Prince goes through different motions and mutters words in a foreign tongue to start the majic spell working. He then gazes into the crystal and says. “As the crystal gets clearer and clearer, I see a famous Broadway Producer. Oh yes! It is none other than Arthur Ellis in his ofTice talking to his playwright Rhoda Lohse. She has just written the latest hit. As she is discussing her play with him. his wife, Kathryn Groce, enters carrying their son. Arthur Junior. She tells Arthur she has just been appointed President of. “The Child Welfare Club”. Just then his secretary, Clarys Coon, who has the rating of the mest efficient secretary in New York, announces that Oden Ellis, a cosmetic salesman is here to see him. Oden enters carrying a large bag and chatters away about his cos- metics. Just then the leading lady of the show comes in crying hysterically. Wait a minute! It is Dorothy Fierce. She says she absolutely will not have Dan Arm- bruster for her leading man. Dan comes in raving that his part absolutely does not fit his personality. Amid all the confusion. Press Agent, Melvin Moore, appears shouting that I arry Cochran, world famous tennis player, and John Coley, famous movie actcr, have just returned from Europe. Arthur suggests that they all have lunch and resume their work in the after- noon. As they enter an exclusive restaurant in uptown New York, the gracious prop- rietor, Roy I..angel, greets them with much hospitality. They are seated at their tables by the hostess. Marian Guseman. who is very striking in appearance and looking lovely in a hostess gown of black velvet. Just then the Proprietor announces that the floor show is about to begin. First appearing is none other than the greatest tango team of the ages, Bart Keeton and Helen Hamer, swirling and dipping to the captivating rhythm of Lucille Mac- Donald and her all girl swing band. Before the dance has ended, who should enter the restaurant but the famous hair dresser and designer. Walter Wharton. By the time he has found the proper seat, the next act is appearing: it is the famous blues singer. Jdabelle Wallace. She swings out with, St. Ixmis Blues”. Who should appear next but a well known and talented ballet dancer. Margaret Bra miner. And last on the program appears two black face comedians, Tom Jones and John Krivesti. After a bit of wise cracking they go into a tap dance that brings down the house. The Prince then looks up from the crystal and says “I see no more”. Mr. Calvin, sighs and limps sadly away.

Walter’s ocean wave was beating against Clarys’s shore. The good ship Coley was bravely battling the great storm at sea. Captain Keeton was trying desperately to cheer the frightened newly weds, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Ellis (Kathryn Groce). The frivolous Fierce was in the kitchen trying to cheer Cook Cocky; but just then Rhoda came trucking in and Dorothy blinked out like a light. Reverand Calvin told Margaret Brammer to do something religious, so Margaret passed the offering basket.

FOOTBALL 1938 THE MOUND BUILDERS 1938 ATHLETICS mmmms THE FOOTBALL TEAM OF ’37 This year’s season saw The Plains take second place in the league standing. Jack- sonville-Trimble nosing out The Plains by losing no games and tying only one game, which was with The Plains. Our team lost one game, Gallipolis. It being out of the league, the loss did not count against our league standing. The Plains tied two games, McArthur; 14-14, and Jacksonville-Trimble; 0-0. The team this year was under the supervision of Coach Rannow, student Coach Mood, business manager, Charles Linscott, and his assistant Don Barrows. The team will undergo a severe loss by losing four outstanding players for the coming year. With an excellent record behind them. John Coley; captain and half-back, Bart Keeton; end Art Ellis; half-back, and Dan Armbruster; tackle, w’ill graduate this year. Other letter men this year are: Charles Armbruster, guard; Bob Nelson, quarter- back; Ted Stillwell, half-back; Bob McClain, full-back; Earl Thompson, tackle; Clarence Savage, end; I aw'rence Smith, center; Carl Tinkham, guard; Bernard McGraner. guard; and Clarence Davis, guard; all of these men will see much service next year.

The Plains was undefeated during the regular season which included 15 games, 'this made The Plains League Champions. At the tournament we won from three other schools before going into the final at the O. lT. Gym. This gave The Plains 18 straight wins. There in the final game we met defeat with Rome, losing by a narrow margin of two points 14-16. Next the team traveled to Middleport for the District Tournament. The boys went into this with much fire and enthusiam, winning their first game from Racine, a great rival, and one of the tourney fa orites, by a four point lead of 29-33. The next game, the team put forth a terrific effort to win from the club which denied them fr ,m the championship at the county tourney, Rome. Our boys nearly doubled the score on them 15-8. This is a victory long to be remembered by the team and every fan of The Plains. On Saturday afternoon we met Moxahala, also considered a strong ball club. They being unable to break our defense, we added another victory to our already 20, the final score being 33-26. The Plains then went into the most important game of the year against Shawnee. Both of these teams were picked to go to the finals. This was the most thrilling and heart-breaking game ever experienced by a team from cur school. This was the first time that a team from The Plains ever came through to the finals of a district tournament. In the last few minutes of play, we needed two points to win the tourney; we were given three free throws, but all were in vain as they rolled around and around the hoop and finally fell on the outside, thus barring The Plains from the right to go to the State Tournament. Although The Plains lost, we had a better record behind us than our opponents and all other schools in Southeastern Ohio. This year four of our most capable men will leave us. John Coley; guard, John Krivesti; center. Bart Keeton; guard, Larry Cochran; forward. Next year, practically all responsibility will lie on the shoulders of the other three regulars; Bob Nelson, Ted Stillwell and Clarence Savage. Other boys out but not fortunate enough to earn a letter were: Jerald Cochran, Charles Linscott. Lawrence Smith. Wilford Hanning. Bernard McGraner, and John Loper 1938 THE MOUND BUILDERS 1938 ATHLETICS 1938 THE MOUND BUILDERS 1938 ATHLETICS BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM TOP ROW: Donald Barrows, manager, John Loper, Wilford Hanning, Bernard McGraner, Jerry Cochran, Lawrence Smith.
