STEPS TOWARD TOMORROW Published by The Year Book Staff The Plains High School The Athens City School District The Plains, Ohio VIEWS OF The Plains area was once farm land; then, largely due to THE COAL MINING INDUSTRY, IT GREW IN POPULACE. EvEN YET THIS IS A SMALL UNINCORPORATED VILLAGE. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL BUSI- NESS ESTABLISHMENTS, THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING--WHICH EVIDENCES A FRONT MARKING OF !,1 922 --T HE COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED FIRE DEPART- MENT, TWO MAJOR CHURCHES, ALL LOCATED ON THE MANY NARROW STREETS. Almost every person in the neighborhood is acquainted with all THE OTHER PEOPLE, INCLUDING THEIR HABITS, THEIR ILLS, AND THEIR PETS . Now THE TIME.HAS COME WHEN The PLAINS WILL SOON EXPERIENCE ITS GREATEST EXPANSION. THIS WILL BE BROUGHT ACOUT LARGELY AS A RESULT OF A NEW HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH WILL COST APPROX I MAT ELY §2,225,000, WHICH WILL BE BOUND BY STATE ROUTE ThIRTY-THR EE , Johnson Road, and McDonald Road. This structure will house the HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF THE PRESENT ATHENS, ChAUNCEY, AND The Plains High Schools. This is to be one of the most mooern, CULTURAL, AND BEAUTIFUL HIGH SCHOOLS IN OHIO. THERE STUDENTS WILL HAVE FAR GREATER EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES. Standing on the sixty-two acre plot and looking toward Athens AT LEF T is State Route Thirty-three, beyond farm pond is a cemetery At right and horizontal is Johnson Road —looking easterly TOMORROW WHEN WE GLANCE OUT THE WINDOWS STROLL DOWN THE WALKS OR RIDE THE SCHOOL BUS In traveling North or South on the major ano eour-lano high- way, ONE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE BUILDING FROM A GREAT DISTANCE. It will be on the knoll-tops from where one may view the superb SCENES OF CULTIVATED FIELDS, KlLMER'S TREES, GOO'S HILLS, AND lighted Athens. Residents anticipate many, many citizens to migrate to this AREA, AND MORE AND LARGER BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED The time is here for transformation from a little place to a modern city. Someoay one may affectionately say, I'd UK! to meet that OLD GANG OF MINE, OR I REMEMBER WHEN .... At the left is Johnson Road and in the left d is the Cottingham Mound.

Of THE PRESENT SENIORS, SHEILAXX Sheila Buck, Jane Coon, David Cullison, Carol Golds- berry, Carla McDonald, Blaine Michael, Roger Peyton, Larry Platt, Dennis Six, Ralph Six, Davis Smith, James Wallace, Sherrie Wilson, Terry Wilson, and 'William Winner started the first steps of education IN THE FIRST GRADE OF THE PLAINS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Under the guidance of our respected elementary teachers, Mrs. Mabel Hqwell and Mrs. Glenna Weatherby, secono grade; Mrs. Emma Beckley, third grade; Miss Alta Cooper, fourth grade; Miss Irene Elliott, fifth grade; and Miss Elva Cooper, sixth grade; we were taught the basic fundamentals in education and were helped in reach- ing ADOLESCENCE. AMONG THE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES IN WHICH WE PARTICIPATED WERE A Mothers’ Day tea, the baking of bread, a hobby show, a science exhibit, and a tour OF A DAIRY FARM. At THE END CF OUR SIXTH GRADE YEAR, WE TOOK WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A BIG STEP . OUR CLASS WALKED ACROSS THE ROAD, LOOKED UP AT THE BIG BUILDING AND THEN ENTERED THE PLACE TO BE HOME FOR THE FOLLOWING SIX YEARS. OUR ACADEMIC SUBJECTS INCLUOED SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, ENGLISH, FOREIGN LANGUAGES, BUSINESS EDUCATION, INDUSTRIAL ARTS, HOME ECONOMICS, HISTORY, G EOGRAPHY, ANO GOVERNMENT. AS WE PROGRESSED STEP BY STEP WE PARTICIPATED IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS THE CONCERT AND MARCHING BANO, VOCAL MUSIC, CLASS PLAYS, VARIOUS ATHLETICS, MERIT AWARDS, LIBRARY SERVICE, STUOENT COUNCIL, ATHENS COUNTY HONOR SOCIETY, FUTURE HOME- MAKERS of America, the Silver Savings Bank, the year book publication, a pep club, AND A CAMERA CLUB. With each step we developed important traits such as responsibility, kindness, HONESTY, AND C0OP ER ATI ON--ALL OF WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL IN LIFE IN ORDER TO GROW. Those students who led our class were seventh—president, Jane Coon; vice presi- dent, Elizabeth Scott; secretary, Carla McDonald; news reporter. Bill Cline; eighth-- president, Larry Platt; vice president, Rhea Thompson; secretary, Constance Cain; TREASURER, JANE COON; NEWS REPORTER, BlLL CLINE; NINTH--PRESIDENT, ELIZABETH; VICE president, Rhea Thompson; secretary, Constance Cain; treasurer, Jane Coon; news re- porter, Larry Platt; tenth--president, Rhea Thompson; vice president, William Vin- ner; SECRETARY, CONSTANCE CAIN; NEWS REPORTER, MICHA EL KrI V ESTI ; ELEV ENTH--PR ESI - dent, Allen Ervin; vice president, William Winner; secretary, Elizabeth Scott; news reporter, Ronald Lowe; treasurer, Consta ce Cain; twelfth—president, Elizabeth Scott; vice president, James Wallace; secretary, Rita Zeger; treasurer, Steven Ham- lin; news reporter, Michael Krivesti. We enjoyed the Junior-Senior Prom portrayed in Hawaiian style, and we appeared MOST BEAUTIFUL IN EVENING GOWNS ANO NEW SUITS. ThEN THE WASHINGTON TRIP WAS AN EXPERIENCE WE SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER. In concluding, we wish to recognize our parents; members of the present and previous Boaros of Education; Mr. H. W. Humphrey, local administrator, who also taught industrial arts; Mr. Marion Wood, principal, and instructor in physical . EDUCATION AND SCIENCE. THERE WAS Mr. RICHARD SHOEMAKER, WHO ALONG WITH TEACHING MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE WAS OUR GUIDANCE CCUNCELOR AND BUS DRIVER; MRS. Anna ROSE, WHC EDUCATED US IN THE BUSINESS AREA AND SUPERVISED THE SILVER SAVINGS BANK AND YEAR BOOK PUBLICATION. THERE WAS Mr. ROBERT BURSON AND Mr. GERALD INBOOY, WHO TAUGHT HISTORY AND COACHED. FOR VOCAL MUSIC WE HAD MRS. MARGUERITE FRANK, Mrs. Judith Mathews, and Mrs. Grace Hoffman. We learned art from Mrs. Vernah Gardner. For English we had Mr. Alfred Gendernalik, Mrs. Cherrye Lucas, and Mrs. Gladys Pierce. Directing the band were Mr. E. G. Horsky and Mr. Thomas Stubbs. Mr. Ray- mond Lee, Mrs. Adda Maccombs, and Mrs. Karen Wagner all taught mathematics at DIFFERENT YEARS. Mr• DAVID STRICKLIN AND Mr. HERSHEL BuRKE COACHED IN OUR EARLY YEARS • Historian’s Committee Constance Cain Elizabeth Scott James Wallace PHILOSOPHY We believe that every boy and girl in The Plains School is, potentially, a fine citizen, an EFFICIENT MEMBER OF SOME VOCATION, AN INTELLIGENT AND WORTHY MEMBER OF A FAMILY, AN INDIVIDUAL WHO KNOWS AND PRACTICES ALL THE RULES NECESSARY FOR GOOD HEALTH, A PERSON WITH VARIED AVOCAT IONAL INT- ERESTS, AND ABOVE ALL, ONE WITH A STERLING CHAR- ACTER . In oroer to develop these potentialities into REALITIES IT IS OUR TASK, AS A SCHOOL SYSTEM, TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH ALL STUDENTS WILL MEET SITUATIONS REQUIRING CERTAIN AND DEFINITE KNOWLEDGES, HABITS, SKILLS, ATTITUDES, AND APPRE- CIATIONS. We believe the aims as set up unoer the ABOVE HEADINGS SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE NEEOS OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND IN ORDER TO ATTAIN THESE OBJECTIVES IT IS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE EXPERIENCES THAT WILL ENABLE STUDENTS TO THINK ANO ACT AS IN- DIVIDUALS AND YET WORK HARMONIOUSLY WITH OTHERS. We feel that by combining the good of the SO-CALLED FORMAL TYPE OF EDUCATION WITH THE TESTED AND PROVEN OF THE PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL, WE, AS TEA- CHERS CAN BEST AIO OUR STUDENTS, SUGGEST TO THEM, GUIDE THEM, AND ABOVE ALL, INSPIRE THEM TOWARD THAT POTENTIALITY, A FINE CHARACTER WHO CAN EFFI- CIENTLY LIVE IN THIS UNCERTAIN ANO COMPLEX SOCIETY.
