TRAILS SENIOR HISTORY YESTERDAY The majority of our Senior Class members WERE BORN IN The PLAINS AREA IN THE YEARS 19UU and 191 5. From baby-sized buncles, we grew INCH BY INCH, POUND BY POUND, AND SOON REACHED THE CHRONOLOGICAL AGE OF SIX. At THAT TIME OUR PARENTS REALIZED THAT THEY WERE TO PART WITH US ANO SENO US TO SCHOOL-ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING INSTITUTIONS FOR HUMAN PROGRESS. THEN, ONE SUNNY COOL MORNING IN SEPTEMBER, 1951» JUST AFTER THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY, WE DISCOVERED OUR- SELVES ENROLLEO IN The PLAINS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LOCATED AT The PLAINS, ATHENS COUNTY, Oh IO. Fourteen members of that first graoe are in the present group: William Coon, Billie Cullison, Ginger Dowler, Karen Goldsberry, Linda Hanning, John Hick- man, Mary Lee, David Lovsey, Juoy Mackie, Ranoy Miller, Linda McWilliams, Sammy Nichols, David Porter, and Walter Wharton. Our enrolee was Mrs. Wilma Darnell, now Mrs. Johnson. Other instructors we enjoyed in the elementary grades were Mrs. Camilla Weisenbach, second graoe; Mrs. Emma Beckley, third graoe; Miss Alta Cooper, fourth 6raoe; Miss Irene Elliott, fifth grade; and Miss Elva Cooper, sixth grade. With the instruction and guidance of these teachers, we participated IN MANY ACTIVITIES. WE FIRST LEARNED TO WRITE OUR NAMES, TO SPELL SMALL WORDS, AND TO DRAW COLORFUL PICTURES. WE MADE TASTY CAKE AND OOUGHY BREAD WHICH WE SERVED AT A MOTHERS DAY TEA. We VISITED THE CHURCHES AT ThE PLAINS, AND A DAIRY AND A BAKERY IN ATHENS. AFTER COMPLETING THE LEARNING FOR SMALL TOTS, WE VENTURED UP TWENTY-TWO STEPS TO THE SECOND FLOOR. WE , THEN, LEARNED TO IMPROVE OUR WRITING, TO FAMILIARIZE OURSELVES WITH LONGER WORDS, ANO TO FIGURE MAMMOTH MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS. We MADE BIRD BOOKS AND BIRD HOUSES, ANO EN JO Y EO A CLASS PICNIC. ONCE WE SPONSORED A HOBBY SHOW WHERE EACH STU- DENT BROUGHT AN ITEM FOR THE DISPLAY. WE CONDUCTED A HEALTH EXPERIMENT DIS- COVERING FROM THIS HOW MANY GERMS WERE IN OUR HAIR, ON OUR FINGERNAILS, AND AROUND OUR TEETH. OnE TIME WE EXPLORED A MUSEUM IN MARIETTA; WE TOURED THE Brooks Shoe Factory ano the Egg Auction, both in Nelsonville. After a pro- ject OF STUOYING ABOUT THE ORIENTAL COUNTRIES, MOTHERS ATTENOED A PROGRAM portraying a Japanese theme. We wrote a song under the direction of Mr. Meri- lyn Ross, vocal music instructor. Concluding the elementary grade trail, a sixth graoe graduation exercise was held in the school auditorium. The following fall, the class of 1965, crossed the road to enter the HI 6 H SCHOOL BUILDING; THERE WE WERE IN NEW SHOES, BLOUSES, AND SWEATERS, READY FOR A CONTINUED TRAIL. EACH OF US HAD DEVELOPED A SENSE OF SUPERIORITY EVEN THOUGH WE HAD JUST TURNED TEEN-AGERS. SOON WE REALIZEO THAT WE WERE ON A ROUGH PATH STARTING UPWARD. The FOLLOWING SIX YEARS WE STUDIEO SUBJECTS, AS, SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, EN6LISH, LANGUAGES, BUSINESS EDUCATION, INDUSTRIAL ART, HOME ECONOMICS, HEALTH, AND MUSIC. Ou R CLASS MEMBERS NOT ONLY FOLLOWED IN THE ACADEMIC PATHS, BUT ADDEO TO THEIR EXPERIENCES BY ACTIVITY IN THE MARCH- ING BAND, VOCAL MUSIC, SENIOR PLAY, VARIED ATHLETICS, MANY CONTESTS, SCHOL- ARSHIP AWARDS, MERIT AWARDS, LIBRARY SERVICE, LATIN CLUB, FUTURE HOMEMAKERS of America, Athens County Honor Society, and Silver Savings Bank.
