The Plains High School - Yearbook (The Plains, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1957 volume:

FOREWORD The Plains High School is primarily a place of learning. English, mathematics, history, science, music, industrial arts, home economics, business education, a variety of courses are taught to arouse our interests, train our skills, and develop our cultures. But that was not all the school taught us. Responsi- bility, initiative, and kindness were encouraged ar.d engendered in our lives. Sometimes we were not serious. Our cheering during the games, our laughter floating down the hall, our voices echoing between classes, were our school, too. To adapt ourselves successfully to the life of tomorrow, we shall need our formal learning, our character traits, and our social growth, which we have derived from our High School. This Yearbook will long serve as a reminder of school life that might otherwise be forgotten, and is a pictorial record of both individual and group accomplishments. But, now, let us turn the pages to see who comprise the activities, classes, and administration. ii Title Page Activities 2 Junior High School 12 Sophomores 16 Juniors 18 Seniors 20 Administration 28 Advertisements 33 tii OUR HOKE Trained Hands Can Build a Better World OUR HOWE Keys that Unlock Dollars Six Atomic Bombs 3 ENDEAVORING TO DC OUR BEST Silver Savings Bank Roger and Kay direct the activities of the bank supervised by Kr.

Tooti If you do not blow your own horn, no one else will. Little did we think a few years ago that we would be tooting at school. However, to better fit us for adult life, a Drivers' Training Course was added to our curriculum for the first time this year. The class consisted of eighteen members ar.d taught by Nr. Ross. We had a beautiful tan 1957 Ford automobile in which we glided along State Route 682.

Our FKA chapter, consisting of forty members, is a very outstanding one in Athens County. Betty Mackie is the County Vice-President. We have always participated at the Athens County Fair, and County and State meetings. Several of the girls spent two weeks at FHA dtate Camp last sumner. We are very proud of our or -anization and wear our FHA pins and bracelets with great pride. 5 ENJOYING THE ACTIVITIES Junior-Senior Reception The Presidents of the Junior and Senior Classes here are seen completing their official and pleasant duties by Ralph placing the colors of the Junior Class, red and white, on the Staff of Wisdom to assure our Alma Kater that the Juniors will strive to progress as the classes have before them. The environment for this ceremony of March 2? , was one of many colors portraying the theme for the evening Over the Rainbow. 6 Kings and Queens ASSEMBLIES BETTER WITIZENSHIP FOR TOMORROW For the school year the theme of Better Wltlaenship was used in the Assembly activities. The latter word of the theme was a coined word, origin- ated by the President of the Student Council, embodying the three words: wit, world, and citizenship. The second and fourth Fridays of each month were planned as assembly days. Prior to the assemblies, curiosity-arousing chalk board announcements were made• At the opening of school an assembly was held for the purpose of intro- ducing the Dignitaries of the school. That group included the class officers of each of the six grades, the officers of each extra curricular activity, and the officers of the student body. Also at that assembly oral reports were given by the students who had attended various work shops and meetings during the summer months. During the athletic seasons there were several pep assemblies. Each usually consisted of an original humorous skit; cheers led by the Senior, and sometimes the Junior, High School Cheerleaders attired in their colorful uniforms of Gold and Blue; and music by the band also helped greatly to arouse enthusiasm. There were a number of commercial artists. There was Mr. Jack Barnes, who had lived sixteen years in Alaska, who discussed life in that country. The Bonellis' family which presented a show of music, novelty, dancing, and comedy. Mr. Frank Buhla, by his magical acts, caused us to wonder if money actually did grow on the elbow. Mr. Jack Smith's show had presented to us solos from a saxophone, a glass clarinet, a four-hole harmonica, and a Ton- ette. He tried to induce us to believe in mental telepathy; and he pre- sented Tiny Tinker and Bashful Buddy whose cute canine tricks won our love for animals. Then Mr. Robert Wood demonstrated dramatic adventures with chalk resulting in the art ability of the students being exhibited the remainder of the week in about all the classes. Mr. Ralph Melville demon- strated craftsmanship in the art of glass blowing and glass knitting. Local speakers gave many facts and entertained the student body. Among these was Mr. Merlyn Ross who showed slides of Hawaii and described life on the islands. Mr. Ben Borders displayed one hundred and ten flags of the various nations and discussed international citizenship and history. Student personnel functioned at assemblies. Contestants for the Prince of Peace Award formed one assembly. The Christmas Service done by the mem- bers of the Senior Class and the Easter Service done by the members of the Junior Class were both very impressive. The Future Homemakers of America sponsored a program. The band entertained the students with a concert at one occassion. Various music numbers were interspersed during the year. The concluding assembly of the year was for the purpose of presenting awards of merit, attendance, band, athletic, scholarship, and many other awards earned by industrious and outstanding students during the year. As study body activities several features were carried out in the rou- tine of the students. For example: to focus attention on fire prevention week the second week of October, posters were used and to culminate the thought a fire drill was given. On several occassions the cheerleaders with their pep and vigor appeared in the home rooms. Colorful and varied programs were duplicated and distributed. Student body officers assumed the responsibility of arranging and dismantling the various paraphernalia needed, and they also wrote the news items. The assemblies have been educational and entertaining; and as a result of these group gatherings, it is hoped that all will be better citizens for the world of tomorrow. 7 THE BAND Majorettes and Flag Bearers Percussion 8 Lower Brass FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS Thompson Lett© men G.

Really it was the most comfortable year we had ever known. And why? Some kind and thoughtful invididuals had provided new gas furnaces. Washington by B and 0 With our luggage heave-hoI Our class mostly in the Senior year strived to earn money by selling candy bars, school pencils, greeting cards, and dish clothes and by publishing a Year book. Fin ally we had earned a sufficient sum of money to finance our trip to the East. There we had many new experiences and benefited much from the journey. Some students lost items, some purchased souveniors, some asked questions, but all returned home com- pletely worn out. 71 iWI Senior Class Play We all participated in the class play which was a comedy that we all enjoyed in its preparation and presentation. In addition to the fun, we learned a great deal pertaining to speech, poise, and persuasion. It was a success dramatically and financially. Commencement We thought of Shakespeare's phrase parting is such sweet sorrow as we were seated on the plat- form Kay 21, at which time Francis N. Hamblin, Dean at Ohio University, talked to us concerning the importance of the spiritual and moral values in life; and he reminded us that it actually was Almost Tomorrow. 11 Row Is David D.

That tomorrow came, and we guided our tiny footsteps toward the school Miss Annie Gochnauer smiled as we entered, and she directed our activities that year. Of our present Seniors in that group were Pauline Ewing, Martha Finnearty, Nancy Horn, Margaret Keeton, Charles Lee, Sally McDonald, Sue McDonald, Joyce Nichols, Mary Sharpe, Earbara Stalder, and Doris Thompson. A great Heal of our time and energy was used to learn reading, writing, and counting. Finger painting and drawing were pleasures, too. In our second year Miss Ebba Wahlstrom mothered us. Bemita See came to our class that year. We raised tadpoles and sponsored a Tea Farty for our mothers. A big episode for us was the enjoyment of a real train ride from Hocking to Athens. In the third grade, under the skillful direction of Miss Martha King, we started to do normal writing instead of using our printing skills. We tossed around and finally absorbed the many figures involved in the learning of the multiplication tables. We enjoyed several journeys and concluded the year with a picnic at the home of the McDonald's. In the fourth year our group was divided. Some entered the Inter- mediate Class taught by Miss Irene Elliott and the remainder entered the Fourth Grade Class taught ty Miss Alta Cooper. We were taught many facts and we grew in wisdon, skills, and character. With great dignity we were hosts at a Tea in honor of the Sixth Graders. William Williams joined our Class. We traveled all the distance to Nelsonville to visit a shoe factory there, and to Marietta to see the famous historical museum, Campus Maritus. One day we brought our pets to school for an exhibition—cats, dogs, rabbits. We authorized short stories; and to give these a professional appearance, our student teach- er typed each one. For a social event, we participated in a Hallowe'en Parade. What funJ For our final year in the Elementary Building, Miss Elva Cooper very ably steered us. We enjoyed several minor journeys from which we learned a great deal. We were guests at a tea given by the fourth graders, and at a picnic at the home of Miss Cooper, our host. Then came the Sixth Grade Commencement program at which time we knew we had reached adulthood. We were prepared then to cross the street to the High School Building. Tbe procedure in the High School was very different from that in the elementary grades. We only remained an hour in each class, and we were allotted three minutes at the end of each hour to visit, chat, and play. James Thompson was our elected class president, and Jo Ann Brooks was a new member. In the eighth grade we had several trips which had learning activi- ties pertaining to the subject matter we had in the classes. Ruth Porter and Charles Burdette joined our ranks that year. For financial aid, we had the project of selling dish cloths. Next we entered the ninth grade and were official members of Higi School rank. Some say Freshmen. Many joined the Glee Clubs, and the Future Homemakers of America. Ckir class sponsored the Silver Savings Bank. Patricia Jackson and William Williams were the queen and king contestants. Patricia was also our class president. 21 YESTERYEARS — continued The next year Lois Thompson was class president. Queen and king contestants for our tAnth grade or sophomore class were Earbara Beckley and James Thompson. New members in our class included Charles Clonch, Mary DeWeese, and John Thompson. The girls in our class had the honor of serving at the Junior-Senior Reception. We sponsored several money- earning projects. We continued our memberships in the various extra- curricular activities. Remember the musical When you were Sweet Six- teen� In our eleventh or Junior year, we were seen everywhere. Our president that year was Jo Ann Brooks; vice-president, James Thompson; secretary and treasurer, Ruth Porter; and news reporter, Pauline Ewing. New members in our class were Jimmie Bosley and Howard Warner. Our queen and king contestants were Joyce Nichols and Paul Wilson. The major event th3t year was the sponsoring of the Junior-Senior Reception featuring a Hawaiian theme. We gave the Easter Service for the school. Sally McDonald and Jimmie Bosley attended the state student council meeting at Cleveland. Those in our class who had been awarded member- ship in the Athens County Honor Society were Margaret Keeton, Sally McDonald, Sue McDonald, and Ruth Porter. Prior to our senior year Ruth Porter and Jimmie Bosley attended the workshop at the Ohio University pertaining to school publications. Jimmie also attended the Euckeye State. In the Senior scholarship test given at the Parade of the Hills, Sally ranked first and Jimmie third. Our officers were Jimmie Bosley, president; Doris Thompson, vice-president; Sue McDonald, secretary; Charles Clonch, treasurer; and Ruth Porter, news reporter. Miss Louise Jane Diver was our home room teacher during our last six years. In our Senior year Sally was the student council president and Sue the vice-president. For queen and king contestants Joyce and Jimmie represented us again. We sold many, many items to obtain finances for our Washington trip. We sponsored a Senior play which all enjoyed. Many of our members were in the various extra- curricular activities. Every Senior is more than grateful to the faculty, expecially Miss Diver, and to the parents for their untiring efforts dur- ing these past twelve years.

For the structure that we raise. Time is with materials filled; Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. Build today, then, strong and sure. With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place. 41 INTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS PublithifS • Co «r Monvtoctuieri look lindcit F AC TO IY HOME OFFICE Kansas City
