We soon became acquainted with our thoughtful first grade teacher, Miss Anna Qochnauer. During that year, we twenty-one tots enjoyed several hikes; and then, when we were inside, during the cold months, we studied about many things Including birds and made beautiful bird houses. In the second grade we learned to tell time and we were very proud of ourselves. We studied the habits and culture of the American Indians; then we visited the home of an Indian woman in our community, Mrs. Enus Luckadoo. This was all very well supervised by our instructor, Miss Vera Sproul. It was in the third grade that we made a good record in the selling of war bond stamps, and in addition we learned a great deal about the post office under capable direction of Miss Ebba Wahlstrom. Later we studied about the making of maple syrup and tapped trees on the McGee Perm. We learned many facts and ideas about trains and after this learning procedure, we enjoyed a train trip to Athens. Mies Alta Cooper was our teacher in the fourth grade; and it was at that time that we gave a full-fledged tea with the Sixth Graders as our guests. Later in the year, we studied about animals, and were thrilled when we visited the Columbus Zoo. Then our fifth grade year came. Our English was so good and our imag- ination so well developed that we were able to write and publish a school newspaper. Miss Martha King, our teacher, taught us many facts and to better understand them, we visited the Marietta Museum, the Athens Messenger, the Athens Lumber Co., and the Chubb Library. It was in the sixth grade with Miss Elva Cooper as our well-liked in- structor, that we became ver proficient in the playing of Jacks. We had our first Jack-Tournament. During that year, too, we invited visitors to a Pet Show which we sponsored. Also, we were guests to the Fourth Grade tea given in our honor. Then thinking our play-days weia coming to an end, we had an elaborate doll show. We attended the Awards Day Assembly at the high school and saw the many presentations to the students for their various outstanding accomplishments. In our seventh year with Mrs. Adda Maccombs as our teacher, we felt very important as we went from class to class with other high school students. We sold garden seeds to earn money. It was that year that Gene McDonald was awarded the Time prize, and five in our class received merit award pins. At the end of the year we enjoyed a group picnic. During our eighth grade year, we sponsored an assembly program. The high point of that year was our graduation from grade level. In our ninth grade year, we were actually big, robust, and intellingent high school people. Some Joined the Glee Clubs, some Joined PHA. We had a King and a tyieen—Ronald Way AndLula Pinnearty. From the more studious angle, we supervised the entire activities of the Silver Savings Bank. In our tenth year we sold home-made candy and carried on a few other fund raising projects. Donald Poston and Hilda Williams were ting and Qieen that year. We made it a policy to send a potted plant to any class member who was hospitalized. It was that year that Naomi Rowan had spinal meningitis which resulted in the entire student body carrying white pills. In the eleventh grade we purchased our beautiful class rings which we wore with pride. We presented an Easter Service that year. We gave Wilbur1s Wild Night” as a class play, and had people in an uproar. Then we did feel elated when we had the privilege of entertaining the Seniors at the annial banquet. Our king and queen that year was Carl Michael and Shirley Sofronko. Then in the fall of 1953� e happily entered our biggest, best, and the last year of school life—our Senior year. We did almost every type of selling to earn money for our Washington trip. We published our Yearbook entitled ”The World's Echo” in which we gave a complete review of enjoyable school- experiences. Our class colors were blue and white. We had been anxious to receive our final awards, our diplomas, but as we received these precious documents, a tear came in each eye. Mrs. Anna Rose has been our teacher from the eighth year to our final year. We shall miss her as we scatter apart. We are greatly indebted to our faithful instructors and to our devoted parents, who have made our school life a success. We hope to attain the ideals they have set for us. Jean Bryan Joan Williams Shirley Sofronko 1! FAREWELL TO OUR SCHOOL WORLD Oh, dear old school, we have loved you so long And now we oust bid your goodbye; We have filled you with laughter and song; And sometimes have wished we could cry Your walls have witnessed a wonderful light, And Seniors you will get anew. But, oh, in our triumph, we are dreary tonight. Now goodbye, dear high school, to you We twenty-eight Seniors have followed the rule That was taught by our teachers so kind. It is sad to believe that we are leaving this school, And all of our playmates behind. We have come to the end of our high school days Our text books and lessons we ve read We are now crossing over the bay To the blue ocean that lies out ahead. We cherish the best friends that we have had. Your friendships are like gems on the snow, You are really a part of us and our hearts are all sad Dear school, we regret we must go We see our ship waiting across the bay. There 8 a rainbow bright in the sky. As we start our trip a new world away. God bless you, dear old Plains High.

Bach participant will long remember his active role in car- rying out the theme of High Comedy presented in May and so well-directed by our Miss Diver. GOT A THUNK? To any ordinary person the suitcase is a very uncomplicated looking object. But seasoned travelers, like the Seniors, who have had the experience of packing for a week's stay regard this item with awe.

And you sit alone with your beau— When your maw shrieks out with a clear, cold voice: Say, tell that guy it s time to go— Do you think what the end of a perfect night Can mean to a loving heartT When the moon goes down with a sad goodnight And we lovers have to partT Well this is the end of a perfect night And the end of a heart-break, too. When you stand on the porch with the last goodnight When two lovers are fond and true, Yes, this is the end of a perfect night And the dawn of a morning, too; For as you look over his shoulder into the moon Do you realize that it s just twelve hours till noon? 41
