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 ANO WORTHY MEMBER OF A FAMILY, AN INDIVIDUAL WHO KNOWS AND PRACTICES ALL THE RULES NECESSARY FOR GOOD HEALTH, A PERSON WITH VARIED A V OC AT I ON A L INT- ERESTS, ANO 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 PROVIOE 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 HEAD I N G S 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, GUIOE THEM, AND ABOVE ALL, INSPIRE THEM TOWARD THAT POTENTIALITY, A FINE CHARACTER WHO CAN EFFI- CIENTLY LIVE IN THIS UNCERTAIN AND COMPLEX SOCIETY.

Young WE MARVEL Like young trees you stand before us. Tender and strong, graceful in that strength. Having already weathered a series of seasons. Stalwart you are, Flexible, The singular shape of you apparent. But with boughs ready to bend— Whose mere whim could be the cause of that? Looking at you, Bursting with energy and life-sap. Ready to shoot up straight and tall. Some day to shelter other growing things. We marvel. And we pray that we may be part of the rain to you. ADMINISTRATION FACULTY AND STAFFS SUPERINTENDENT Mr. R.

Shoemaker Mr. Basil L. Cullison SCHOOL BUSES These are not pumpkin coaches for balls With Cinderellas; they transport full loads Of lively youngsters to their study halls, These orange buses tracing country roads And shuttling noisily through many streets. No midnight gong will make them disappear. Though riders sometimes wish it! Tried, true fleets They hold to charted courses through the year. No longer need school pupils walk; they wait— Spared the all-weathers hikes of long ago— For glamorless gold coaches up-to-date, Mundane, yet, for this century, apropos. STAFFS CAFETERIA DEPENDABLES MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL TRANSPORTATION STAFF Mrs. Lelia McAllister and Mrs. Violet Bryan Mr. William E. Liggett MOWER Our lawns are carpeted with a beautiful green crew cut ' as a re- sult of the use of the bright red mower. It has a seven and one-half horse power motor and two blades of eighteen inches each. There are many attachments available for this mower—twenty-two in all. This was new in 1961-1962 school year. ROAD MAP The map showed roads and tunnels, towns, And bridges arching over. But did not mention on its chart A wind from seas of clover; It did not mark a lone elm standing In the medst of wheat. Nor the manner of man who left it there, Cool shade about its feet; There was no indication of The cows that stood in brooks, Nor merriment of lads and dogs In woodsy swimming nooks; No note was made of buckwheat bloom. Billowing to spread A creamy counterpane upon A field s wide bed. A map could never specify How a road would flow Gently into evening, Under firefly glow. Mr. Orville E.

Faith, inspiration, and a sense of security come from the apprecia- tion of the past. To make possible more information of The Plains' area, early records were studied'and discussed;‘and it is hoped that this History and Memories section of this book may be of interest and value to all in this area. In the school year 1952-1953, the United History class compiled a HISTORY OF THE PLAINS AREA. A revised copy was made August, 1953, and a copy of the book is on file at the Ohio University Library. The quoted materials in this section are from that book of approximately one hundred pages. The History Committee of the class consisted of Sharah Slater, Jeanne Bryan, Wendell Calendine, Leroy Hashman, Barbara Mason, Charlotte Potts, James Potts, Naomi Rowan, Patricia Shrieves, Shirley Sofronko, Maxine Webb, Joan Williams. Assisting in this activity was Mr. Chester Bruce, a student teacher from the Ohio University, and supervising was Mrs. Anna C. Rose, teacher of the course. In this area there is much evidence of the existence of the Mound Builders. Some of the monuments or mounds were apparently used for burial, some for religious ceremonies, and others for fortifications. There were still other mounds the uses of which are not understood. In digging into the mounds of the area, many of the skeletons were people six feet in height. In the large mounds only one body was found, but in the small ones, two bodies. In some were found jewelry, in some fighting equipment, and in others there was nothing. In a survey of the area in 1930, there were seventeen mounds, but earlier there had been twenty-five. The second largest mound here, the Coon Mound, was opened by the officials of the state of Ohio in 1930. The largest Mound was the Hartman Mound and the third largest was the Mound on the Hugh Finney place. THE HARTMAN MOUND There is the period that the Spanish, the French, then the English controlled this area. There was the Ohio Company that had much to do with the starting of the Ohio develop- ment. Soon developed was the Beaumont Section. This was at the far end of the area (near State Route 33). Here were the salt springs whicn attracted settlers. The County Plat indi- cates that the town was first recognized by the white man as Tyler, then it was called Salina, for the word saline (shale consisting of salt), and sometimes called Slabby. As the name Salina was confusing with Celina, another town located in Mercer County, Ohio, it was changed aboutl895 from Salina to Beaumont, the middle name of Mr. Frederick Beaumont Sheldon, Chief Engineer of the Hocking Valley Railroad. In 1850, the Hocking Canal from Fairfield County to Athens County was completed. This helped the area economically. WHEN The settlers started populated what is now The Plains and the town had about twenty- five persons in 1900, and fifteen hundred people in 1950. It is located in Range 12, Town 10, Section 24. Pioneers talked of the eclipse of the sun which was August 6, 1870. It was said that such darkness prevailed that it resulted in the chickens going to roost. Then there was conversation also of the earthquake shock felt May 2, 1886. The pioneers fished in Margaret's Creek which was named for Mrs. Margaret Snowden, who was supposedly the first white woman settler in the County. Among these early settlers here were the names of Armi- tage. Beard, Campbell, Coe, Connett, Cornell, Dorr, Gabriel, Herrold, Martin, Matheny, Mc- Cathem, McHarg, Shafer, Stage, Wilson, Wolfe, and Young. They were decendents of many nationalities. Mr. Christopher Wolf married Rhoda Dorr, daughter of Captain Dorr, of Revo- lutionary fame. Mr. David Zenner purchased a farm at the edge of The Plains and he purchased a large store on Court Street, Athens (now Belk-Simpkins Company Store). He came to the area from Cincinnati in 1853. He son, Henry Zenner continued in the store business, and later developed the McBee Company. Mr. Christopher Deshler built many large brick homes in this area and many are still standing. Of interest to the citizenry was the first automobile. It was a one cylinder Cadillac and was about a 1902 model and was owned by Dr. Matheny. Also of interest was the exceptions ly great number of twins in this area. Post Office Before 1794, no mail was carried into this area, except by individuals, and there were no post offices in all this Ohio country nearer than Pittsburgh. About 1800 people received their mail each two or three weeks and this was delivered to a residence in Athens which served as a Post Office for our people. Later a post office was at Salina (Beaumont), and operated by Mr. John H. Martin. In 1908, the post office was moved from Beaumont to Wolf's Plains. The name of The Plains was adopted when the Post Office was started here. It was operated by Mr. Clayton E. Starr until 1915, and since then Mrs. Laura V. Tipton (Mrs. Harry Tipton) continued until October 31, 1956 at which time Miss Gail Slater was appointed. The Post Office was a white frame structure located at the corner and later a buff brick covering was installed. An entirely new building was erected at the corner of The Plains Road and Main Street. An elaborate dedication ceremony was held July 10, 1966, with part of the ceremonies at the high school building and part at the Post Office. Newspapers The ATHENS MIRRCR AND LITERARY REGISTER was the first newspaper available for the pioneers of this area. Its initial issue appeared in 1825, published in Athens. After this was the WESTERN SPECTATOR, edited and published in 1830. Then came the SPECTATOR which changed name to THE ATHENS MESSENGER ANDHOCKING VALLEY GAZETTE. Then shortening the name to the ATHENS MESSENGER it was the commonly read paper in this area. There were approximately eight school boys who delivered it from house to house in 1953. Other newspapers also distributed by boys were the COLUMBUS CITIZEN, OHIO STATEJOURNAL, and the COLUMBUS DISPATCH in 1953. Churches The Plains Methodist Church was built in 1842, on land donated by Mr. Joseph Jewett. In 1855, the enrollment was ninety-three with the superintendent and teaching staff being George Connett, Eben Wilson, G. W. Pickett, Wood- rough Connett, E. N. Nichols, Tehdill Wilson, Joseph Jewett, Amanda Baker, Lydia Connett, and Mary Jewett. Twenty-seven spellers, twelve hymnals, twenty-six testaments, and seven- teen question books comprised the library. The records of 1864, refer to the church as The Plains-Chauncey Society, with E. N. Nichols, chairman, James Beard, secretary pro tem, and other officials: E. P. Jewett, James Beard, E. Cornell, John Smith, G. M. Gould, E. Wilson, L. G. Matheny, James Blanchard, and William Barker. In the year 1869 under the ministry of the Reverend J. F. Dixon, a revival was held. The Men's Bible Class was organized in 1911. Ministers listed are Dabritz, Matheny, Bishop, Baker, Rocky, Stuart, Burns, Canfield, McMann, Brown, Harter, Siniff, Cherrington, Cneadle, Day, Cowan, and Reitz. Following these were Radford, Jeffery, Weller, and others. At present the Reverend D. M. Bryson is the minister there. In the picture is the new Method- ist church with marker of 1963. There was a Methodist Church located about a half mile this side of the Hope residence (at Grosvenor Crossing) which was started in 1847, and completed in 1849. Later that lot was sold to Mr. John Powers. He built a barber shop, but since is deceased. The church building burned in 1934. The First Holiness Church started in 1908. In 1913� the church united with the Church of The Nazerene with a membership of forty-six. At that uniting with the Nazerene, the Reverend N. B. Herrel was the District Superintendent. The Reverend G. W. Applemar. was the first pastor after this organization was formed. Later was the Reverend Lena Brandenburg and now the Rever- end E. 0. Altic. The Plains Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints was started as a small group April, 1907. They first met on the comer and then moved their meeting place to the school.In 1920, the present church building was purchased and moved to the location on Connett Road; and it was dedicated March 27, 1921. Pastors were Reverends Gabriel, Williams, Caldwell, Zonker, and Cummings. In addition to the churchesmentioned, there was the Church of God on Johnson Road and the Church of Zion Free Will Baptists on the Poston Hill. Cemeteries Closely affiliated with the history of the churches was the datapertaining to the many ceme- teries in the area. Perhaps the oldest one was the Wolf Cemetery which is near the Humphrey home. It was used in the early 1800s and there were but few people buried there. Another is the Barker Cemetery, not used now, and is located near the Pallet farm. Another cemetery of historical note was the one on the road to the Hocking Mine. The first burial was in 1822; and Matthew Dorr a Revolutionary War soldier, was buried. Then there was John Coe, who served in the War of 1812, was buried there as well as Christopher Armitage. who served in the Mexican War. Carol Goldsberry Assists At The Methodist Church Where Classes were Held For The Kindergarten, First, and Seconds BARKER CEMETERY Cemeteries—continued In a local cemetery is Mr. Hiram Tinkhara, who was born July 23, 1846, in Chauncey, Ohio. Lastly, he resided witn a grandson, James Tinkham. He passed away at the age of ninety-six. He was the last of the Civil War Veterans in Athene County. He had been honorably discharged October 9, 1865. He had engaged in battles in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Missouri. He was under the command of Captain Oscar Jackson and Colonel John W. Sprague. He was in Company H, 63rd Regi- ment, Ohio Voluntary Infantry. Literature And Art In checking the citizenry who contributed original literature, art, and music, there was Mr. Dali W. Lee, of RFD 2, Athens, born January 1, 1870, Wio wrote poetry. He attended the Jasper Hill School, a one-room school house in Carthage Township, district eight. He lived most of his lifetime in this area. He wrote thirty-two cr more original poems, sons of which appeared in the ATHENS ?£SSENGER. As far artists in the area, the Reverend Raymond E. Kelchner did co� onercial art pieces. Perhsps his nationally recognized work was that in lettering a Fishing and Hunting Diploma which was presented to the former President Harry S Truman at Key West, Florida. A similar form was made for the former vice-president, Mr. Barkley. He also hand-lettered the honor- ary scrolls presented to Mr. H. W. Humphrey by the PTA and Dr. L. D. Nelson. He was also a minister at the Church of God. There were many lengthy articles written and published by the faculty of tte local school. Business Eanking was carried on mostly at the Athens' Bknks, and now the Attens National Bank has purchased land on the corner opposite the new Post Office on which it plans to erect a bank. The Johnson Brothers Coal Company (Thomas and Edward Johnson, brothers) had a general store from 1905 to 1910. Mr. C. E. Starr had a general store about 1906, and he sold to Mrs. Sarah Batchelder in 1922. It was raised and the St. Clair Station is now there. Mr. Ray Matheny was an early store owner. BATCHELDER Mr. 0. G. Tinker had a grocery store 1907-1912, near the corner, opposite the old Post Office. Mr. Ray Shafer purchased this place and he quit in 1917. Mr. Cash Wood had a grocery store at the Post Office site about 1905. Mr. John Hawkins was a service station proprietor in 1920 and discontinued in the early 1940s. r Miss Beulah Hawk, who was crippled because of arthritis, carried on a coal order business by telephone in the early 1940s and discontinued in the early 1940s. Mr. Floyd Dinsmore had a grocery store opposite the old Post Office and a few doors south of the corner in the mid 1920s, and he sold it to Mrs. Laura Tipton and Mr. G. B. McDaniel who maintained it from 1932-1936. They then sold it to Mr. Paul Tipton (son of Laura) He constructed, in 1949, a new modern store room across the street from the ori- ginal location. His store was known as the Clover Farm Store. He sold this to Mr. Walter Wharton in April, 1964. Mr. E. C. Bob Howard constructed a store building a door or so south of the first Tipton store. Mr. August M. Olson later owned the store, then Mr. Carroll Bean, still later Mr. William G. Thomas. He sold it to Mr. A. J. and Blanche Wright. The Wright's added a paint and tool line of mere andise. This store is still in operation. Mrs. Ed Buffington and Mrs. Virgie Hawkins operated a confectionery since 1944. It was knc m as the ”B and H Confectionery and as Virgie's. It was discontinued about the late 1940s. TIPTON'S (upper) VIRGIE'S (lower) Business—continued Mr. Fred 3umgardner operated a rug cleaning place in a tile building located on the same side of the road, and north a distance of several blocks. This was the early 1940s and was soon discontinued. Mr. C. L. Meek owned property near the corner in which he had merchandise stored. He still owns these two buildings. This is opposite the old Post Office. There were several service stations in the 1950s—Marcinko's, Novotni's, Cullison's. Now there is Kostival's Shell Station and Alva Platt s St Clair Station. Mr. Robert Coon built a confectionery in the 1940s (opposite the old Post Office and nearer the school). Later the McKee's had this and then it was raised in 1966. Still nearer the school was the Hawkin's confectionery, managed by his wife, Virgie. This was recently remodeled into an insurance office by Mr. Robert O'Nail. Mr Carroll Bean erected a tile store building perhaps two blocks south of the old Post Office, the same side of the street about 1940. He sold to Mr. Frank Richey and he next sold to Mr. Elza McGraner. This was used for a grocery store. Then Mr. George Shafer owned it and later rented it to Mr. Leo Sheridan. He discontinued the grocery store in 1966, and it has now been made into an apartment. In the recent year the old Post Office building houses Mrs. Janet Williamson s Beauty Par- lor and adjoining, and in the same structure, there has been made an apartment. There was Culliscn's Plains View Drive In, but this is now owned by Mr. Paul Cuckler. This is near the new Post Office, but on the opposite side of the road. This main road, State Route 682, is known as The Plains Road. Beyond this is tte agency for Rutland Bottled Gas. Mr. Elmo Scott carried on a plumbing business from his residence on Cross Street, and erected in 1953, a cement block business structure next to his home. In 1961 Mr. Clarence Fuller started in the garage next his home, a business where he repaired appliances, sold appliance, and did general contracting. He continued this for four years. In 1964 Mr. Gene Willoughby built a business place on the Hartment Road and The Plains Road (and next Fuller's). There he repaired automobiles and is presently doing this. Mrs. Nora Gould of the Lower Plains raised and sold parakeets and canaries, but has dis- continued this. Mr. John Powers operated a barber shop near the John Hope Dairy Farm. Since his death, this was discontinued. Radios were repaired by Mr. Ray Michael in his evening hours; but in recent years, he retired and has full time available for such. He also sells such merchandise. Industry The salt industry was previously mentioned in this history. Other important industries of The Plains were those of coal mining and farming. There was also an important gravel pit. As stated before the first coal mine opened was near Beaumont. The Hocking Mine was opened in 1901, but the railroad conpanies did not give that mining company a switch. A con- troversy arose which was settled by the court in favor of the coal company, and the railroads were forced to carry the coal. Coal was finally mined in 1903. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Edward Johnson, brothers, opened a mine at Hocking. Mr. William Finney operated the firs coal cutt- ing machine there. In 1907, these brothers nerged with the Lorain Coal and Dock Company. This was about 1906 or 1907, that the first mine fatality happened here at which time Mr. Howard Ross was killed at the Hocking Mine. In 1910, the mine closed because of impurities. And the company then was sold to the Hocking Mining Company, and Mr. E. A. Cottingham man- aged it for that Company. Then this mine closed down in 1921. The coal industry was hindered by unjust freight rates. To help correct this, the Ohio Legislature passed a law that railroads could not own coal mines in Ohio. Several strikes of the laboring force caused some difficulty, too, in the industry. Many citizens of The Plains were Union Officials. Those most prominent were Mr. Joseph Evans, who was the first sub- district president; Mr. James Hardy, also a sub-district president; and at another time Mr. Sanford Snyder was a sub-distric t president. Mr. Snyder also served as an international or- ganizer for several years. Mr. August Olson and Mr. Harry Tipton both have served as sub- di s t ric t audit or s. As for farming, it was carried on around the area, but not on a large scale. It was also important that in the earlier 1900s, there were several wells drilled for oil and gas, but nothing worthwhile was located. There was Mr. John Slater, who came from England and discovered a gravel pit on his land and two sons, Jack and Edward, operate this yet. It is located between The Plains and the Lower Plains. Many of the citizens were employed in industrial establishments, at business places, and in the trades in Athens. Some went to Athens on the coninercial bus which charged fifteen cents (one way) up to 1952, at which time the fare was increased to twenty cents. This ser- vice was discontinued in the late 1950s. In the summer of 1953, an organization was launched and titled rtThe Plains Improvement Association,” a-id the purpose of this was to gather and publicize pertinent information con- cerning the area, and also to act as a comnunity contact point for representatives of indus- try. Utilities The Athens Electric Company supplied the first electric power used in the area. That was the year 1913. A transformer was installed at the school building, and the wiring for the school was done by Mr. David Jones, an employee of the Company. Mr. Harrison Davies and Mr. Ray Michael wired many of the homes later. To obtain gas in the area, Mr. Harrison Davies and Mr. Ray Michael secured the necessary signers to guarantee the company sufficient users. The commercial lines extending cross- country were installed in the early 1950s. The first telephone operator was Mrs. Larry Loud, the second one was Mrs. Lucy Surgeon, mother of Mrs. Floyd Linscott. The first person to have a telephone was Mr. Charles Hill, who was the bookkeeper of the Johnson Brothers Coal Company, and the second telephone user was Mr. John Wood, who was the manager of the Coal Company store. In 1910, there was a small switchboard for the service operated by Mrs. Lucy Sturgeon. This was in a room above the C. E. Starr Grocery, which was later the Batchelder Grocery. The board had only fifty drops and was operated by battery. There were as many as ten persons on one line; the operator rang numbrs by turning a crank affair. In 1921, the company built a new home on the land ourchased from Mr. Joseph Evans which land was centrally located and incidentally was the center of a mound. The new 6perations had one hundred drops. Mrs. Sturgeon operated these until 1933� and was replaced by Mrs. Floyd (Thelma) Linscott. In the fall of 1937 t e dial system was in- stalled and completed in 1938. In 1952, the dial system was such that to call tc Athens was toll-free, but to call from Athens to The Plains, there was a charge of ter. cents for station calls. The service was by the Home Telephone Company, later the Commonwealth Company, and now the General Telephone Company. There are no tolls now. The Direct Dialing was put in use in the summer of 1966. Social Life One of the outstanding days in the memory of then a grand barbecue was held by the ex-soldiers in the county joined the “Athens County Pioneers' the people of The Plains, was August 30, 1866, and citizens of Athens County. Some pioneers Association organized in 1868. In June, 1904, some residents attended the George Beaton Dinner for pioneers held in Athens In the 1920's, there were many citizens active in the Parent Teachers' Association in the area. Among the first presidents were Mr. M. 0. Bryan, Mr. Ray Michael, Mrs. Paul Tipton, and Mr. William Finney. The organization financed the purchasing of play gound equipment. In the 1930's, it financed the buying of several radios which were put in several of the class rooms with a central panel in the office. The organization supervised the planting of shrubbery around the high school building when the buildiirg was relatively new. The organization sus- pended during the war years, but revived in 1949. The presidents then were Mrs. Neva Thomp- son, Mrs. Beatrice Smith, and Mr. C. L. Meek. Other presidents have been Mr. George R. Shafer, Mrs. Lloyd Kittle, Mrs. Ray McGraner, Mrs. Paul Tipton, Mrs. Roy Beckwith, Mrs. Henry Depue, Mrs. Roy Langel, Mrs. Francis See, Mrs. Elmo Scott, aid Mrs. Carl Seiferth. Sunday, September 12, 1944, a large crowd was assembled on the lawn of The Plains High School for the dedication of the Service Board in honor of 185 oersons who were then in mili- tary service. Mr. H. W. Humphrey introduced the guest speakers, Professor Lorin Staats (of Ohio University) and Judge (Common Please) Oliver F. Rowland. The program included music by the Chauncey-Dover High School Band. The Reverend Gilbert Courtney, of Chauncey, gave the Invocation and the Benediction. Miss Louise J. Diver read a poem written for the occasion by Mr. Dahl Lee of this area. Mrs. Cora Whetstone read her won composition. Mr. M. 0. Bryan di- rected the audience in singing, America and The Star-Spangled Banner. Mr. B. A. Wolfe, in behalf of the American Legion, presented a United States Flag. Seated in place of honor were seven service personnel who were home: John Loper, Rm third class; Cpl. Veryl Whetstone; Earl Thompson, AMM first class; Sgt. Norma Smith; Sgt. Herbert Lovsey; Walter Gabriel; and Pfc Stanley V. Thompson. Motion pictures were taken of the activity. It was during this war that the high school published the INDIAN WAR WHOOP as a communications system to persons in service from this area. There was a rehearsal of a blackout for southeastern Ohio. All lights were out in this area March 4, 1943 from 9s25 to 10:55 p.m. Mr. Paul Tipton was the blackout warden.

To attend these a fee was charged: hence, the name subscripton schools originated. At that time one teacher was known to have received one dollar and a half a week. In 1849, the general assembly of Ohio enacted a law authorizing each township to elect a board of education. One of the early schools was located at Beaumont where Mr. Harvey Courtney's Garage was later located. One building was known as the Factory School located on the hillside between what was later the Powers' Barber Shop ani the Government's com bins (on the Hope farm). Miss Henrietta Court- ney was one of the early teachers there. This was later used as a house and finally dismantled by Mr. John Hope. A second Factory School was erected in the hollow in 1888. It housed eight grades which consisted of as many as sixty pupils. Later the upper four grades were sent to the Mechanicburg School (later termed the Morrison School), Athens. This Factory School burned down in 1933. At The Plains, a school house was built on the land where the telephone office was later erected. There were at one time seventy-six pupils for one teacher. That building was later moved to the Bradshaw place, and was used as a home. After 1909, they had a two-room build- ing erected at the gravel pit. Another was erected at Hocking, and still another building was rented from the Matheny's. When students attended high school, they walked to Chauncey. About 1917, Athens Township was bonded for forty thousand dollars so that a large central school might be built. The first principal was Mr. D. M. Bryson. About 1921, Mr. 0. C. Porter was on the County Board of Education, and he was successful in having The Plains Schools put in a special district. The first Board of Education consisted of Mr. W. U. Finney, president, Mr. E. C. Michaels, vice-president, Mr. Harry A. Tipton, secre- tary, Mr. John Gabriel, and Mr. Cecil McClone. Then the buff brick building was built in 1922. Mr. Pearly Gaskill was the first prin- cipal of The Plains High School. Of note, too. The Plains Junior High School was the first chartered in Ohio. Some teachers were Miss Brohard, M ss Syx, Mr. Garrett, Miss Glancy, Miss Watkins, and Mr. Wesley Walbum was Superinten- dent . In the early 1930s, the Federal Government had food given to the people. This was done in various spots in Athens County. The Government, too, assisted finan- cially in the building of the red brick structure after a bond issues was passed in November, 1933 for thirty thousand dollars. Ccmpleted in 1935. A band was sponsored (fifteen students) in the mid 1930s and directed by Mr. Joseph Thack- eray. Again in the late 1940s, a band was organized. Directors were Mr. Thomas Evans, Mr. James Rees, Mr. E. G. Horsky, Mrs. Grace Hoffman, Mr. Thomas Stubbs, and Mr. David Bowen. Schools—continued ... « . , An elementary school at Luhrig was closed about 1945, and the students tranferred to this school. It was in the 1930s that the Future Homemakers of American was organized under the direc- tion of Miss Beryl Cone. Many girls have received state honors during the years 1930-1967. February 22, 1943 school closed so that the teachers could issue ration booklets to the citizenry.

In this belief, I will endeavor: To develop character by being honest, ethical, moral, de- pendable, and courageous; To display courtesy, and respect the rights of others, delving into both viewpoints of any situation and to cooperate; To achieve excellence in schol- astic attainment; To value mental and physical health; To use my leisure time in construc- tive recreational ar.d cultural activities. All this to the end that I may promote a worthwhile life under divine guidance. Not only will I uphold these policies, but I shall use my influence to lead others correctly.

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 heart? When the moon goes down with a sad goodnight And we lovers have to part? 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? 19 6 4 The First Board of Education BOARD OF EDUCATION June 12, 1964 The Last Meeting Of The Plains Board ,y finney m°glone. ePTiptoN CLERK.

Humphrey (standing) Future Certainly no area has a brighter, more prosperous outlook than The Plains. It has min- erals available for use. There is marginal coal, good gravel, and some clay. A research was made in Athens County in the 1940s as to its best commercial natural resource and clay was the top item. The land is level and high above flood dangers. Labor costs and living costs are lower than in city areas. It has a school of high standards with a University influence. The new school containing grades of nine to and including twelve will be completed soon at an approximate cost of $2,225,000. It has more than the usual number of churches for its size. Certainly, in the future, there are possibilities for airport development, industrial growth, a shopping center, and more than normal growth, which should result in a happy, pros- perous, and cultural people. 19 6 8 BIBLIOGRAPHY Books A l£i.eI History of Athens County, Ohio, by Clement L.
