Page FiveThe Thronateeska, IQ21 ... Greeting Another happy year is ending Its work and its worries and fun, And The Thronateeska now is extending This record of what we have done. We have mastered the tasks assigned us, And now look with new vision ahead; We have traveled the well-worn paths of toil. The way that each pupil must tread. In the field of all worthy endeavors, We have striven to win a clear name; Oft we watched our hopes droop and quiver, Or in victory we spread our A. 11. S. fame. Sharing ever our joys and our sorrows, Dear friends and fellow students we are; And we smile on our cloudless tomorrows, And wonder where and how each will star. We've woven these tales all together, ’Tis a story of our High School lives, And we give it to you; so please read it through, As half -truth in jesting guise. —MAUDE KINNEY.

She is talented in theme writing, music and drawing. She works, plays, dances, sings and swims, besides being a popular player on the girls’ basketball team this year. Above all Mary is dependable, and when she promises to do a thing, you may be sure it will be done well. She realizes that life is what we make it, and setting her goal high, she gains the best.

She made a splendid captain of the basketball team and much of its success depended upon her loyalty and untiring energy. Louise is especially gifted along literary lines and her contributions to The Molecule and The Thronateeska were valuable.

Dignified in her bearing, with a crowning mass of golden hair on her shapely head and her wealth of wisdom, she has made such a valuable addition to our class. We wonder sometimes what we would have done without her. When she returns to enter the University of her native state, we shall expect to hear great things of Mildred. Literary Editor of Thronateeska 21. ISADORE PRLSANT “Izzy” “True as the needle to the pole, or as the dial to the sun.” This is our Business Manager to whom we are so much indebted for the success of our Annual. Steady, capable and reliable, when Isadore says he’ll do it, well, It’s done. He is a scientist, keen on research, and a shark on finding why things are why. If he continues along the paths of knowledge seeking, the world will hear more of Isadore some day. So don’t forget that he was a member of the famous Class of Twenty-one. Football ’20.

Page FifteenThe Thronateeska, 1Q2I KATHRYN PATE “Kat” “She spreads around that gentle spell That makes all spirits love her well.” Look here, if you would find a girl with tactful manners and sweet disposition. We all admire her poise and gracious way of doing and saying the right thing at the right time. Kathryn consistently seeks the things that are more excellent, as her High School record proves.

Sport Editor of The Thronateeska ’21 Page SixteenThe Thronateeska, IQ2I MYRTLE TOMLIN “Mutt” To see her is to love her, And to love but her forever; For nature made her what she is, And ne’er made “sic anither.” This is Mutt. She is a valuable asset to the Senior class and everybody’s -friend. Myrtle’s mer y chatter (the despair of the teachers) s er.joyed immensely by' her dassmutes. When you see anything exciting going on and everybody’s' crowding around, you can count on it, Mutt’s in the show. She is also a good student in the classical course and will continue to shine in college. Basketball ’20, ’21. District Meet ’20. Annual Staff ’21. PHILIPPA DELPH “Flip” “Dear eyes, sweet eyes, so rare complete.” We shall always owe a debt to Savannah High for sending us this young lady, who has proven herself a valuable asset to our class. Flip’s lirst claim to distinction lies in her ability as a basketball player. She was captaii of the second team last year, and as center, was a tower of strength on this year’s team. She is known as a good student also, with a keen sense of humor, which appeals to us all. Basketball ’20, 21. Annual Staff 21. Page SeventeenThe Throndteesfyt 1Q2F NICK HUNTER “Old Nick” “Be a hero in the strife.” In spite of his “nickname,” it was indeed a good wind that blew him from the Tar Heel State to old Georgia. He is a famous south paw, who slings a wicked baseball, and is death on goals in basketball. “Nuff said.” Nick is an A. H. S. hero. Basketball 21. Baseball 21. JUPSOK HALL “Jud” “He is a man for a'that and a'that.” Jud son is as reliable and methodical as an alarm clock. He captained the Football Team to xict wyr and bored many a tunnel through the opposing team. A good student and a good fellow. he has won the tospect of every student in High Sch sjJ. We feel sure that Jud is destined to makt his mark in life. The only danger is that his time to cross the railroad track may happen when a tram is due. in which case the train will have to chance schedule, for Jud won't. Football '19. Captain Football Team 29. Track '19. "2A. AgeThe Thronateeskdy IQ2 EDVVINA BROWN “Weena” “Weena dances; Weena plays; Weena has enticing ways.” Nature endowed her with a happy disposition and a sunny smile, and she has developed a marked capacity for making friends and keeping them. Edwina is always ready to enter into the sportive mood of the majority and enjoys a good time. No High School gathering is quite complete without ner. Basketball 20, 21. MAUDE KINNEY ‘‘A deep seated reverance for all things true.” Maude’s highest ambition is to become a famous writer of fiction, and y e predict a real future for her, for often has she charmed us with her interesting stories. Maude is also known as an unselfish Senior. When there are little things to be done, and most persons care nothing about them, Maude is always willing to help either teachers or students. But she does not confine herself to little things, for she is generous, full of spirit and cheerful toward all. Page NineteenThe Thronateeskfl, ig2l « ----------------------1 ■■ LAMAR HARPER “Long, lean and lanky Clever and cranky.” Ladies and Gentleman: We take great pleasure is introducing Mr. Harper, a clever lad. laughter loving, broadminded and generous hearted. Lamar received his grammar school training in “foreign parts,” but lucky for us and for him, came to a real High School to get his diploma. His record leads us to expect the best from his college career. He is everybody's friend in general, and one somebody’s in particular. Football ’20. Secretary and Treasurer Class ’21. PAULINE REYNOLDS “Polly” “She is a riny thing. She is a winsome thing. She is a bonny thing.” Everybody pets Polly, for who can resist a glance from her soft brown eyes? She claims to get more joy out of living in five minutes than the rest of us do in as many years. It is a well established fact that he danced her way right straight into our hearts, for Polly is the best dancer in the Senior class. And when you are the best of anything in that class, you’re Somebody. So. altogether, three cheers tor Polly! 'Page TwentyThe Thronateeskd, IQ2I JOE SELLERS “Sphinx “Others must have reasons for speech; I need none for silence. Endowed with a strong body, a clear mind and a brave heart, Joe is one of the finest fellows in High School. He is a good student in the scientific course, and as an all round athlete, ranks with the best in football, baseball and basketball. Football '19, 20. Baseball 19, 20, 21. Basketball '20. Captain of Basketball Team 21. ELEANOR RILEY “Eleanor, bright, laughing, teasing, Sweet and charming, always pleasing." Eleanor is a tactful, happy-hearted girl, whose philosophy of life seems to be thoroughly optimistic. Through the four years she has been an ardent classicist, pursuing her diploma along the Latin way. Through all the grades from grammar school lays, Eleanor has figured as the girl who likes everybody and everything (except spelling), and no pleasure is complete without her. Page Twenty-oneThe Thronateeska, 1Q2I RUTH LONSBERG “No magic shall sever Thy music from thee ’ Ruth is the musician of the Class. Her delicate touch and skilled interpretation produce heavenly harmonies, and often has she charmed away weary moments for us with her wonderful music. Ruth is also gifted with a pleasing originality, and she seldom does things just because others are doing them. When she goes to Converse College our best wishes will follow her for continued success. GEORGE MILLER “The girls all call him sweet; The very stairs he treads or. kiss his feet.” Mr. Miller, if you please. Silence cannot prevail when he’s around. George is one of the most popular boys of the A. H. S. During four long years, his skill as an athlete, his pleasing humor and his friendliness toward everyone have given him a strong hold on the faculty and the student body. Football ’19, ’20. Manager of Baseball Team, ’21. Paze Twent -two O VThe Thronateeskay IQ21 HELEN WIGGINS “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, An excellent thing in woman.” We all admire what Helen does and what she is—one who never fails to uphold the dignity of ihe class. No matter what may arise for discussion or distraction, her serenity is unruffled. She is one of the rare Seniors who never raises her voice without saying something and her poise and gentleness are a constant marvel to the frivolous majority. Helen is often envied by the less fortunate not only because she cops a good supply of perfect marks in the classics, but she has naturally curly hair. Class President ’18. JOHNIE LEE WILLIAMS “Look for goodness, look for gladness, You will find them all the while.” A ray of sunshine can never be gloomy, and neither can Johnie Lee. From the first morning that she appeared in our Junior year, our class room has been a brignter place. She is a classical student, but specifically known as a “Math Shark” and most fluently does she “parlez vous.” Johnnie Lee’s third hobby is the art of expression. Page Twenty-threeThe Th?'OH iteesk iy 1Q21 RUTH BOYNTON “O fairest of the rural maids.” Ruth’s fairy like figure and curly bobbed hair make their tardy appearance five mornings each week in English class. Always with a look of innocent surprise, she wonders how we had the heart to begin without her. But when she does come, gentle and demure, everyone seems to realize that the baby of our class was w’ell vvorth waning for. In spi'e of her tender years, Ruth is a good classical student., and the be t cook in the Domestic Science Department. .TOE BATE “A man of brain and brawm.” Yes, this is he, Josephus Bacteria Pate, popularly known as the most loquacious member of the Senior class. One day a great wave of excitement swept the school, for it was rumored (hat, “Joe had committed brevity.” All became incredulous over the report. Ranking as an assistant “Prof.” in, scientific experiments, and as a two years’ member of the gridiron squad. Joe has given a good account of himself in the H S Football ’18, ’19, ’20. Page Twenty-fourThe Thronateeska, IQ21 MAUDE KING “The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.” Yes, Maude could have gone back to Louisville to graduate, but the A. H. S. still claims her loyal heart to have and to hold from this day forward. Maude is a capable, ambitious, painstaking student, and enjoys the unique distinction of being absent from school only one day in seven years. ’Tis said that the teachers retired in a body to the office to consult the calendar and see if it were not a legal holiday. Small winder that one so persevering should be so talented. Maude studies, is a member of the basketball team, sings sweetly and plays on the guitar. Vice-President Class ’18. President Class T9. Annual Staff '20. U. D. C. Essay Contest 21. RUSSELL BALL “Russ” “I know it is a sin for me to sit and grin.” A care-free, jolly sort of fellow, full of pep, and known among the girls as “the cutest boy” in tne class. If there’s a joke on hand, you can count upon it, Russ is in it—unless he can get out of it. His marvelous feats have often startled us. In basketball he is a flying acrobat, and in baseball he is greased lightning. Altogether, one of the swiftest fellows on both teams—and elsewhere. Russ can also wiggle his ears. Basketball '20, 21. Baseball '21. Page Twenty-fiveThe Thronateeska, 1Q21 RICHARD HOBBS “His friends—there are many, His foes—he hasn’t any.” Richard is as light-hearted as the day is long; a lovable scamp, who has gone with us through the eleven years of Grammar School and High School. Nobody has ever known him to be sad or selfish or mean and you just can’t make him mad. On the contrary, his dry sense of humor has given us many a merry moment. The popular owner of a wonderful six-cylinder, Richard says, “It sure is nice to be a lion among the ladies.” WILBUR OWENS “Taters” “The bells, bells, bells! What a world of misery, Their melody foretells.” Page Mr. Owens! The school “bell boy,” who rings out the old hours and rings in the new. How we love to hear him coming with his orange and green shirt and tie and his crashing hose. And the world is brighter when he comes, for Wilbur is clever, good-natured and popular, as well as one of the star students in the scientific course. Baseball ’20, ’21. Page Twenty-sixThe Thronateeska, Q2I ALENE BROOKS “Fair as a star when only one is shining in ihe sky.” After completing her course of study in the schools of Baconton, Alene came to cast her fortunes with the best school on earth, the Albany High. In one short year she has become a loyal supporter of the Orange and Green, a good friend of every member of the class, and of one in particular. One of the inseparable, irresistible Trio: Mutt, Weena and Alene. Rah! Rah! Rah! ROSELYN COHN “Dark were her eyes, yet how softly they gleamed beneath the brown shade of her tresses.” Just step this way if you wish to hear the last echo from Paris, for Roselyn is in style all the while. She is a girl of striking personality, obliging and agreeable. Her special interest is Domestic Science, in which she has shown much skill and originality. Possessing an oriental type of beauty that is most attractive and a happy deposition, Roselyn is a general favorite. Page Twenty-sevenThe Thronateeskdy 1Q2J EVELYN Hl’IE “She is just the quiet kind whose nature never varies.” Evelyn joined us in our Junior year and very soon acquired a particular fondness for the A. H. S. Although she lives farther away than any other Senior, she is the first to arrive in the morninp and seems loath to leave in the afternoon. We don’t blame you, Evelyn, the old A. H. S. is worthy of your adoption and affection. MARY LEILA DAVIS “A quiet, shy, unobtrusive little maiden.” Mary Leila still calls Cobb home, but she. too, in her Junior year decided to eive her heart and her hand to the Albany Hiph School. She steadily pursues the successive tasks of each day, and is a splendid example of the maxim. “They think most, who say least.” Once having known her, you are a more fortunate person than you were before. Page "Twenty-rightThe Thronateeska, 1Q2I A View from the Summit After three long years of unflagging zeal since matriculating at our beloved High School, we were ushered into the sacred portals of that classroom indicated by the magic word, “Senior.” Joy filled our hearts. We had attained at last the chief aspiration of all under classmen. Although the rugged pathway from the Valley of Freshman to the lofty heights of Senior was one requiring the su’-e footedness of the Alpine climbers and the dogged endurance of the sons of old Erin, with seemingly insurmountable barriers constantly before us. we traversed it safelv and arrived on time. September the fifteenth, nineteen hundred and twenty. But here we find that our troubles are only begun, and instead of seeking rest from our arduous uphill climb, we must be constantly on the alert, lest the weak-hearted grow dizzy by the rare altitude, make a misstep, and plunge into the dark abyss called failure. The thought creates fear in the hearts of the strong, and yet it has a certain alluring fascination for the weak, in the knowledge that once having taken the fatal plunge, all care, work and worry will soon be forgotten. Like veterans, we have come through as a unit, bravely meeting and vanquishing every impediment to our progress. In so doing we feel that the word “Senior" carries with it a deeper meaning than the mere proud consciousness of victory, that it is the crowning glory of work well done. As we come forward on the night of Commencement to receive our diplomas, with our confidence unshaken and our spirits undaunted. triumphantlv we resolve to go always onward even to the topmost pinnacles of fame. Long live the memory of the Class of Twenty-one. —KATHRYN PATE. Page Twenty-nineThe Thronateeska, IQ2I Thronateeska By Jlj)uise Hudson On the banks of Kinchafoonee In the swamps of Koolewahee In the days of Long Forgotten Hid secluded from explorers, Lived the Creek tribe Chehitawwa, Brave and unafraid In battle. Here they lived in sole possession, For no pale-face ere had isited That peculiar sombre people. T On the grass before his wigwam In his many-colored blanket, Sometimes in the summer twilight Ere tl»® shining sun had vanished, Sat the old chief Cheehemawween Dreaming of his days of sorrow, Of the battles he had fought in, Of the days of lost endeavor; And his blackest thoughts of vengeance, Like the waters that he gazed on, Held within the snags of violence Deep, concealed within his bosom. But to him would come at sunset, Romping, rosy from the forest, Taking from him all his worries, Gaily glowing from her running, His near-worshipped, witching daughter. She was not like Indian maidens, With her eyes blue as the heavens, And her silken golden tresses Shining in the dying sunlight; Slim and agile as a young roe Tall and straight as is the Pine tree, With a face so fair in color, That the purest water-lily Blushed at finding her superior. And her laugh was like a bird’s song Lilting in the newborn morning. Making hearts that heard it joyful, Bringing smiles to tired faces; And her soft voice crooning often To the crying small papooses, Soothed the aching of the weary mother’s heart. She would listen with excitement To the tales of bygone battles, And her eyes grow wide with wonder At the daring of the braves. So she lived among her people. Friend of all and willing helper, Half a child and half a woman, Thronateeska—the belov’ed. Ebon shades had darkly curtained Earth’s broad golden light resplendent, Clothed her with an inky blanket Robe with silver stars bestudded. Drowsy chirppings of the crickets. Sleepy fiutterings of the birdlings Broke the universal stillness Of the sleep-engirdled Nature; And the weird flames fiery flickerings Threw their ruby sparklings upward Mongst the gruesome sha les of darkness, Lighting up the gloomy shadows. Round the campfire smoking silent, Sat the braves with sombre faces, Swathed in gaily-colored blankets, Crowned with brilliant tinted feathers; And the souaws were sitting near them. Feet akimbo on the verdure. Sewing bits of skin and feathers Working always for their masters. Suddenly the old chief started, Lost was his accustomed courage, Shook and shivered as with palsy. While the others stared in wonder. Thinking only of his madness. Then another brave looked upward, Seemed to see the selfsame spectre, And his heart grew cold within him At the sight that he beheld there. Eyes were turned in that direction, To the Pine tree toward the southward, Where a pale-faced man was fainting, Weary with fatigue and hunger. Fearing lest the Evil Spirit, Punish, should they shun the stranger, He was clothed and fed and warmed, But was feared from the beginning. Speaking in strange, unknowr accents Wearing clothes of queer designing,— Thus he awed the Indian People. Learning gradually their language, Soon he told them of his comrades, Lost from him within the forest; How he wandered searching vainly All alone and quite forsaken, In the wild unbroken forest; How he found their cheering campfire, When near dead with cold and hunger. Spring had ripened into summer, Autumn brought the golden harvest, Winter’s icy breath came chilling All the trees and birds and flowers. Page ThirtyThe Thronateeska y 1Q2I Still the stranger lived among them Greatly loved and greatly loving. But the spring was now returning, Bursting buds and verdant foliage, Birds, a-cooing in the branches Of the oak and elm and cedar, Heralded her soon arrival; And the mantling vines and roses, With the fragrant honeysuckle, Wafted jasmine-scented breo.;.s. With the pine cones of the woodland, Mingled perfumes quite entrancing, While the spring’s soft, cheerful gurgle With the music in the tree tops, And the breezes always rustling, Played a symphony sublime. By the water in the moonlight, By the moss-hung oaks surrounded, Stood the maiden Thronateeska Gazing at her own reflection In the crystal depths of blue. Then two shadows in the water Cast upon it by the moon’s rays, Caused the girl to quiver slightly With a timid nervous gesture. Soon she turned to see the visitor, Quickly was she fast imprisoned ’Tween two arms now strongly holding The adored one to his bosom. Whispered words of solemn sweetness, Breathed more softly than the flowers Caused two hearts to beat and flutter As the young birds in their nestlings. Then the moon’s rays glancing downward, In the mirroring depths of liquid, Saw one shadow in the water. ’Twas the eve before the wedding And the redskins had made ready For their loved Princess’ marriage. Braves, discouraged and disheartened, Having lost the chieftian’s daughter, Rarest prize in all the country, Sat with moody, sad expression. Cheeheemawween called the stranger, Friend, but stranger now no longer, To his wigwam near the river, Sitting on a grey old boulder, Smoking there with calm indifference, Told him of his little daughter, Dear to all who knew her nature. “There have passed now seventeen summers Since we took the toddling wee one, From her parents in the woodland On the bare red hills of Georgia. Fearing lest they miss the treasure, And discover we had stole her, Like a snake without a rustle, Leaving all at mystic midnight. Sought the river’s rushing waters, Paddling, on and on, we found here, This our home and place for dwelling, Where the land was good for tilling, Where the princess grew more lovely. But to you, dear Monochawto I give now our Thronateeska, Take her to her pale-faced people, To the land that you have come from, Friend,—I give to you my daughter.” Down the pathway of the forest Walking slowly to the river Thru the summers leafy bower Slowly came the pale-faced lovers, And the Indians gaily painted, Decked with feathers, skins and trinkets Followed singly, stepping softly. All the earth now strangely silent, With a holy hush stood waiting, For another day was dying, Perishing in golden splendor. As the last rays of the sunlight Kissed the fair forms on the river, Drifting downward, ever downward, On the swiftly flowing current, Cheehemawween caught a vision Of the golden braided tresses. And he wrapped his blanket round him, Turned and entered in his wigwam, For his heart was well nigh breaking, Breaking in his stoic bosom, Murmured, “It is well, Great Spirit.” And they drifted ever downward To the great sea with its billows, T0 the home of New Enchantment, To the realms of Faraway land. To the land of the Tomorrow, Thronateeska and her lover. Page Thirty-oneThe Thronatteska, IQ2I Glimpses of a Senior Girl’s Diary Sept. 13.—Rather an unlucky day to begin. Yet 1 hope the god of Good I.uck will be with me this year of all others, my last year in High School.

True Citizenship Citizenship in the democracy, America, is a sacred duty as well as a glorious privilege. The future welfare of our national life depends upon the personal interpretation of true citizenship by every loyal American. This individual consciousness is not only a sentiment which excites the emotions and stirs the heart, but consists in the actual living and accomplishing the duty that is nearest to you. The very foundation of good citizenship is self-activity based upon lofty ideals. We, as Americans, stand for the ideals of justice and liberty for which patriots have fought the world over. Today, our country faces many problems, unique in the history of this land, and only the practicing of the fundamentals of true citizenship can solve them. It is the duty of every loyal American to acquaint himself with the situation, political, financial and moral, and then exercise his power of citizenship toward the reconstruction and upbuilding, which must follow the World War. In that recent critical test of the strength of democracy, thousands of America’s young citizens fought and died in the cause of freedom. Truly as gloriously, however, the working mass of American people fought for the democracy. Those men who knew the disappointments and troubles of daily life during the war but who struggled on ceaselessly toward the clear vision of peace, in their regular paths of duty, served America as nobly and courageously. When the falling hands of America’s heroic dead dropped the torch of our democracy. it was this calm, alert, band of earnest workers who held it aloft to light the pathway of nationalism. Page Thirty-fourThe Thronateeska, IQ2I Since the armistice the citizens of America have had to meet even greater demands upon their strength and wisdom. War always leaves behind a state of agitation and unrest and this has been doubly true since the World War. The effort to return to normal conditions, by the curtailing of profiteering, the handling of successive labor crises, the preventing of financial panics draws upon America for every power of caution and fortitude which the strength of man can offer. How will American citizens respond? With the same indomitable spirit which characterized their forefathers, with the same courage and resourcefulness. every crisis will he faced, every problem will be solved. That is the test of true citizenship! But financial problems are the least of America's dangers. The condition of social unrest threatens to become a menace to the growth of the country. American ideals and principles must be instilled in the minds and hearts of the great foreign population, constantly in the process of naturalization. Every generation the body of citizens in our country is re-created, formed anew, and one of the broadest fields of activity, for native born citizens, is the real Americanization of those born under foreign flags. The old affecion for the homeland must not be swept away, but loyalty to the constitution and laws of the United States must tower above every other feeling or tie. By taking the oath of citizenship the alien citizen becomes able to help solve the problems of our country. Thus the long pent up ideals and hopes of those who come to this land of opportunity, aid in the building of American democracy. After all, the power of America is American citizenship. The law makers and executives are but the temporary tools with which the American people carve the structure of personal and national independence. It is the individual duty of every loyal American seeking to use the great gift of citizenship in the best possible way to bend every energy toward the solution of America’s problems, to use his citizenship toward a larger progressiveness and a clearer vision. Then will that culmination of the dreams, ideals, and hopes of the truly great be possible. Then the lives and fortunes of American citizens will justify the great heritage to which they were born, and America “will become a vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of Peace, and of Liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever.” —MARY GILLESPIE.

B. l owsey Father Maynard was on bended knee before the Crucifix. He crossed his feeble arms on his breast, and almost wept but for some reason or another, the tears fell not. A great lump came into his throat. Thru the stained windows of the little church the setting sun cast its crimson rays upon him. It caught in its illumination the tears that trickled down his cheek and transformed them into sparkling rubies. But the illusion faded—the old man rose. He stood! His long gray locks falling to his shoulders, his prominent forehead wrinkled with the cares and innumerable sorrows of many years. His shoulders were bent, his face thin and drawn, his step slow and faltering—yet in his eyes there burned a flame that could never be quenched—a fire of faith, of hope, of prayer! For fifty years Father Maynard had served the people of his village. Year after year had he shared in the troubles and the joys of the community. He had buried many of his friends, the victims of the ravages of time. He had seen the younger generation who not so long ago had sat upon his knee, grow to manhood and to womanhood. In his youth side by side he had fought with his friends in the Franco-Prussian War. He had seen them struggle and die by the hundreds all for the glory of Alsace-Lorraine. But he? No, he had not perished, a kind fate had preserved him all thru that terrible struggle. And now—those young men, whom he loved so dearly, his own friends’ children, stood in the trenches at the edge of the village only ten miles away, pounding, pounding on the German lines—trying in vain to keep them back—to hurl back the hordes of barbarians and prevent them from advancing. Ah—those lads in the trenches, they thought of their mothers, their wives and children way back in the village, praying for their safety and pleading with the good Lord that the Huns might be driven back. For three terrible months they had hammered on the fortifications of the enemy—day after day they had attempted with a great loss of life to ward off the inevitable crisis, they had put forth their very best but without result. Little by little, their lines were weakening and soon, very soon, the Germans would come pouring through. My God, it was a terrible thought. To lose at one blow all that they had fought for. The Cure realized this, and had earnestly prayed for courage, for assistance and aid in guiding his terror-stricken people. In twelve Page Thirty-nineThe Thronateeska, IQ2I short hours the Roches would he in entire control of the village. Family after family had left their homes and gone into the valley of the Marne, where they could follow the river to safety and peace, perhaps. As he stood there a thousand thoughts flashed through his brain. He came to one decision after another and revolved countless plans— but he cast them all away and only one thought remained. The Barbarism of the Huns had never been equaled nor their atrocity paralleled in history. Realizing this the only practical thing that could be done was to get the women and children to safety and thus save their lives and more than all, their honor, from the ravages of the enemy. There were practically no men in the village except the wounded and the dying in the City Hall, which was at that particular time used as a hospital. 1 Ie knew that when the dawn of the tomorrow broke over the eastern hills his church would be no more and the little city would be in ruins. It was a gruesome thought and it agonized him. The houses that had stood since Caesar’s time would be leveled with the ground, and the trees and buildings, centuries old, would have gone forever. He passed on down the cobbled street, stopping at house after house, urging the people to flee—aiding, advising, assisting them. He helped them pack, loaded the children with bundles of food and clothing, giving them his blessing and despatching them off into the night. He drew from his breast a leather purse. Untying the strings and opening it—he poured out some gold in his hand. “Take this,” he said, “it is all that I can give besides God’s blessing.” “But Father, what are you going to do?” “Stay—I cannot forsake my duty.” He passed on down the streets toward the outskirts of the village where the crowded houses faded into scattered cottages. Flee—was his only word. “But thee—father—” “I—stay—!” $ :je $ $ $ Hurrying to the City Hall he labored for four hours, nearly unto dawn, assisting the soldiers to send the wounded men on to safety. He loaded on the ambulance those who were alive and those who were dead he buried. Th shells burst around him, but be heeded them not. Returning to the church, he gathered all of the sacred articles and precious ornaments and placing them in an iron bound chest he carried them intoThe Thronateeska, IQ2I the cellar. They were safe. When the war had ended and peace once more returned and his people had come back to the ruined village to rebuild it they would find the religious treasures in the vault—but the Huns would not get them. The rattle of the machine guns did not worry him now. His only thought was his church. Not a single soul remained in the village, he had visited every home and had given away his clothing and his gold, the only wordlv goods that he possessed. He breathed a sigh of relief. He was satisfied that his people were safe, the Huns would have to be contented with what remained. Once again amid the roar and the rattle of the artillery, he prayed. Before the altar he lighted the tapers in the golden candlesticks. He fell to his knees. The light of his indominable spirit faded from his eyes. Suddenly there was an explosion—followed by another and another, and the Cure’s church tumbled into a heap of ruins. When the dawn broke over the distant hills and flooded the stricken valley with its radiant light, the Cure lay huddled in a heap amidst the stones and mortar that a few short hours before had been his church. He was cold,—his form was rigid. Now let the Germans have what they wished. No more would the battle cry ring in his ear or the sound of musketry deafen him. The tapers of the altar burned on—but not so the soul of the Cure, for at the break of dawn.his life had departed. The waves of time roll on, in the years to come he will be forgotten—but he was a son of France. He died—not on the battlefield with the cry of victory ringing in his ears—flushed with the charge and fighting of the battle! No, he died with a prayer on his lips and a smile on his wrinkled face. He had saved the women, had pacified the fears of the citizens, and had sent them on to safety. Soon the church will be rebuilt, the same chimes will ring out and beckon the peasantry to prayer. The village like a rose in Spring will blossom forth once more and the multitudinous graves will fall into the furrow of the plow. The Cure is gone, but his invincible spirit lives on—it can never die—it is the Spirit of France.

I sought my favorite rosebush, Where blossoms were fragrant and reu. And behold thirty-four beauties, Raised their perfect heads. And as I sat there dreaming, Lost in the perfume so rare, 1 thought of my dear old school-mates And slept, ere I was aware. A voice exquisite melody Was charming the hundreds who heard, Maude King, the world’s greatest singer, Who rivalled the sweetest song bird. Alas, ’twas just for a moment, 1 see on a box in the street, Frank Rowsey orating as usual, On “Tanlac” to make you eat.

Joe Sellers, always desiring To become a “Rambling Wreck,” Is coaching all athletics For the braves at Georgia Tech. Ruth and Isadore I learned, Since art was their one quest, Were travelling on the Redpath “To soothe the savage breast.” And now our steadfast Judson, Whose head ne’er had a mate, Cannot make Piggly-Wiggly, Tho he strives both soon and late. Josephus Pate, great scientist, To world wide fame has sprung Because he found perpetual motion In his own loquacious tongue.

Ruth Boynton knew how the short cut, To man’s heart could be made.— He preaches now on Sunday, She leads the Ladies’ Aid. On Edison’s last record, The songs our hearts soon win, For we recognize old Mutt’s sweet voice, And her everlasting grin. The circus still holds thrills for us The billboards us appall, To see the acrobatic feats Of reckless Russell Ball. And rural life is one oft sought By sweet retiring charmers, For Evelyn, Flip and Johnnie Lee Found their better-halves in farmers. What makes this town so very clean? I asked to be put wise. George Miller, City Manager, Says it pays to advertise. An exclusive boarding school is kept For girls of sweet sixteen, Refined and seeking knowledge, By Helen and Alene.

By three gold balls above the threshold, Many desolate are led, To the shop of Ed McArthur, Helping purses that are dead. Lamar had set his goal on high, He hitched his auto to the stars, Then stepped upon the gas to soar, They feed him cornbread thru the bars! A howling for his toy dog, A scream for his new hat; These are the blue eyed little twins In the love nest of our Kat. Unobtrusive Mary Leila Argues now both days and nights For Wilson’s League of Nations And the cause of Woman’s Rights. Wilbur now has still more Owens, And is known far and near; For he has bridged the ocean As a Civil Engineer.

The beautiful rosebuds have perished, They died with the setting sun, But our hearts are only blossoming, Our life is just begun. —LOUISE HUDSON ’21. Reflections of a Senior Boy If you try to please a Senior Girl, she decides to snub you. If you don’t try to please her, she says you are disagreeable; If you believe all she tells you, she thinks you are a simpleton; And if you don’t believe a word she says, she calls you a cynic. If you go with all the other girls, she accuses you of being fickle; And if you let them all go but her, she loses all interest in you. Understand these girls? Say, do you think I am the Eighth Wonder of the World?

Just think, we will be Seniors next year! Three years ago we entered Albany High School. We had always stood in awe of the great building, as if it were the castle of an ogre or a giant killer. But once having gained access, we found only teachers and pupils lived there. We delved into the mysteries of Latin and Science. Algebra was like a Japanese puzzle, and it looked as we would never find the unknown X. Then all of a sudden, we were Sophomores, and thinking, as most Sophs do. that Atlas like, we were holding the world of knowledge on our shoulders. ( We afterwards found out differently.) Great things happened this second year. We cooked the Boys’ Basketball Banquet, entertained the Seniors and the Faculty, had our pictures taken for the annual, and one of our classmates had her little heart pierced through and through by Dan Cupid. The greatest event of our Junior year was the organizing of a Literary Society, which we named for our famous Southern poet, Sydney Lanier. Then came the "Molecule" which caused excitement, but proved worthy of it. The serving of the Boys' Basketball Banquet, and furnishing the “Annual High School Bride" were other events of our Junior year. We all hope next year to be a class one hundred per cent, efficient. and to continue to prove our loyalty to the A. H. S. —ANNIE ELIZABETH TICKNOR. —DE COURCY JONES. Page Forty-eightThe Thronateeska, IQ21 Junior Advice to A.H.S. Teachers (live thy pupils no reproof. Nor any unkind thoughts their acts, Be thou friendly, but by no means furious. Those pupils thou hast, and their patience tried. Free them from their desks with lessons short. And do not bore thy class with explanations, Of each interpretation of rule and problem. Beware! Of after sessions, But being there, bear’st in mind that the oppressed are hungry. (live every pupil thy ear, hut few thy voice, Take each pupil's word, but reserve thy judgment. Be thou lenient as thou canst afford, But not expressed in partiality, Easy, not hard. For the manner oft proclaims the teacher. Neither a scolder nor a whipper be, For scoldings oft hurt poor children’s feelings. And whippings some times blister dreadfully! This above all. give good marks most generously, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou’lt be adored by pupils one and all. —SI I KESPEA RE. —Paraphased by Helen Wvllv. P. S.

We do, indeed, feel ourselves extremely so, and we are what you might call "hard boiled." 1 do not hesitate to say that a student who lives to tell the story of her Freshman career is a genuine specimen and can face life with a brave heart and a smiling countenance. Sometimes we have seemed deserted by the entire student body, but we have found great comfort in our friends, Miss A1 (1. Bra, Miss Domestic Science and others. This year we have renewed many old friendships and also have become acquainted with people of very high standing, such as Julius Caesar and Mr. Geo.' M. Etry. The Sophomore Class of ’21 boasts of its motto, "Unity." We learned the significance of this word early in our Freshman year but have come to realize more readily this year that our class, like all good English composition, must have unity. We have organized two clubs, both of which Mrs. Riley is sponsor. The "Joel Chandler Harris Literary Society” we formed with the Freshman girls. Through this society we learned to appreciate more deeply our Georgia writer, “Uncle Remus.” We are studying the Literary Digest in History and in English. To make this more interesting we have formed a club. The Sophomore Class has taken a great interest in the athletics. We have two representatives on the basketball team, one a forward and the other a guard. True to the A. H. S. the Sophomores are there at every game to support the team. In the Molecule also, we have had our part. There has never been an issue without an article from the “Sophs.” We take a great pride in our paper and are with the A. H. S. in all its work. Thus ends half of our High School life. Next year, and in the years to come we hope to record many notable events that will live on and on, molding the lives of those who come long after our names are no longer heard in these sacred halls. After the candles of our lives that burn so brightly now have flickered and died away, may the circle of light they shed ever widen and be unbroken in the endless vista of vears. Fage Fifty-four —MARJORIE ROSENBERG, Historian.The Thronateeska, IQ2I To the Class of ’ 2 i May the four leaf clover Bring the best of luck to you. May health, prosperity and wealth, Each year he renewed for you. For you the golden horseshoe, Each nail an eternal friend, May it comfort, help and guide you Unto your journey’s end. For you the tiny wish bone, A symbol of hope and good will May you never give up and feel alone, Till your duty has been fulfilled. For you the happy blue-bird, Bringing sunshine in every way, With a smile and a cheering word Forever and a day. And now, dear Seniors of ’21, We wish you great things in life.

Every year the ship deposited some human freight, and collected some, at the different ports, so bv and by seven years had rolled past, and it was time for the ship to sail forth to an unknown world of higher education. We passengers on board were sailing on uncharted seas, because we knew nothing of our destination until there hove in sight the strange coast of the A. 11. S. Here the great ship, having deposited us, returned to set sail again next year, and we were mercilessly attacked by the half savage natives with all sorts of wicked looking weapons. But we finally gained a foothold on the new soil, and determined to keep the territory we had won. After a thorough initiation into the mystic charm? of High School, we settled down to a great and glorious time, resolving, however, to have our revenge on the first shipload of Freshmen immigrants that came our way. I his we did the very next year, so that when we were through with them, they looked like Napoleon after the battle of Waterloo. Since then, we Sophs have been well represented in all the sports, which have meant so much in making the old A. H. S. the best port in the South Seas. —HOMER MORROW. Page Fifty-sevenThe Thronateeska, IQ21 A Sophomore’s Nightmare On this eighteenth day of March, 1921, When all the other boys are out having their fun I pick up my only pen to write Of a curious dream that I dreamed last night. The old schoolroom was vividly flashed on my mind; The teacher sat up in her desk. “Come Henry,” she said, “put these on the board, They are for tomorrow’s test.” The questions were copied, and I gazed around, Uncertain as to what I should do, The boys were busy at their respective stunts Of these I will mention a few'. Sidney sat nursing his feet in his arms, Sister w'as eating his cake, Charles was trying to invent some new bull, And Ben a good mark w'as striving to make. Robert Hill was trying to discover a w'ay To make “ones” wdthout studying at all. While Lewey ate peanuts with an eye on “the teacher.” And Chick was wishing that he could grow tall. Homer w'as playing a good joke on Elmer, And Robert Riley giggled softly and low. Courtney was heard saying sadly to Ralph, “What makes us both so blooming slow?” Turner and Wimbly wrere having a tussel, Kenneth and Red were at rest, Sibbett sent Heller a message by wireless, Which Mayo and Ash were trying to guess. Hot and Buzzy were still boning hard, While Joe and Foots w'ere real quiet. Lannis was thinking of something pleasanter That Limburger, his favorite diet. Hal and Ashby w'ere taking it easy, Tom Jordan w'as squabbling, you know, Tom Woodall was writing the answers down, “Sh, that’s too loud; say it low.” Miss Teacher then silently raised her head, And silently laid down her pen, “When the bell rings for school to let out,” she said, “You boys may all remain in.” —OTHO CAMPBELL.

Trouble began when all our mothers made us wash our faces and hands clean, and put on Sunday neckties, for we were going to High School! Soon we started down the street, each lugging a big load of books, and a heart like a millstone. W hen we arrived, we didn't make any too much noise, but silently one by one took up our perch on the long bench under the old oak tree, and waited for the worst. All too soon, along came the terrible Sophs. “Hey, Freshies, how are you, and where do you think you are?" "Thank you kindly, Sir, we ain't feeling none too good this morning," said Mercer. “And don't none of us know exactly where we’s at," Tom added, fust then B. B. strolled across the campus, and a Junior guy roared out, “Hello Kid.” "Hello yourself, and see how you like it," said B. B.. sort of unconscious like, and then our teeth chattered, our knees played Dixie, and our hearts stood still, but our legs did their duty. Shears and paddles and gum! All we Freshies wonder why the United States chewing gum hill was so small—only two hundred million dollars. It would take a whole factory running over-time for a year just to have furnished the A. H. S. boys on that first day. And to think, nobody was benefited but the barbers! Never since have we been so glad to hear the bell ring for school to take in, even though we had to face a brand new teacher every period. They turned us out before 2 o’clock, and our pace going home compared with our coming was like a six-cylinder auto in high and the creeping of a snail. The day before Thanksgiving, we managed to draw a full breath when we saw Sam Stocks, actually a Freshman, bucking the line in the football game with Thomasville. Then we settled down to take it easy after mid-term exams. And became puffed up with Freshman pride when Bud Johnson, four own Bud), made the first run of the baseball season. Now we are happy to have passed one milestone, and hope to meet you on the Sophomore road next year, when we walk up to a distracted Freshie and cut his hair. —RAYMOND GUNNELS. —FRANK ROWSEY. ‘Page Sixty-oneThe Thronatteska, IQ21 Freshman Boys and Girls’ Class Philip Yon Weller...................................President Charlie Mae Buntin ...........................

H. S. campus after three long months of pleasure seeking. Each quaked with fear whenever she saw the “Awful Sophs” approaching. These terrible beings had filled our minds with tales of barefootedness, Hoyt’s perfume, hair tonic, ghosts, scissors and the like. Our minds were diverted for a while when Wilbur made us aware of his existence by ringing the assembly gong and we filed to line uncomfortably impressed with our insignificance. In periods, all too short, we met the faculty; first came Miss Ogburn who was soon to teach us the value of “X” the unknown— then Mr. Floyd, who introduced us to motors, electricity, magnetism, and everything else from bacteria to patent medicines—next came Miss Mattie, with whom we visited the Fashion Show at Paris and copied the latest styles—Mrs. Riley, the sponsor of our literary society, was likewise our guide and advisor when we explored the Hudson River and met Indians and brave frontiersmen—we traveled to the South Pole and Equator with a certain Mariner, and went around the world with Sir Launfal until he found the Holy (irail—last but not least. Miss Stone, who helped us dig tip Caesar, whom we then freely discussed, also to fight battles with the Helvetii. The initiation scare was nothing compared to the fear of the smallpox to which we all succumbed last fall. Though we all went around with sore and swollen arms, there was—lack-a-dav—no vacation. This passed over and was forgotten. Then came Santa Claus, bringing from the North Pole, as a present, two whole weeks of delicious holiday and abandon. After Christmas we all grew cold and clammy for mid-year exams had come upon us like thunder out of a clear skv, and needless to say found us woefully unprepared. We held our breath and trembled while the teachers told us who were exempt, and who were not. Hail be to those lucky ones who escaped them; they deserve the notice of the gods as do those who passed! Page Sixty-sixThe Thronateeska, IQ2I We Freshies have resolved to write another calendar in which New Year’s will come in February, in order to accommodate the resolutions of remorseful Hunkers. We are now racking our brains for ways to “take the pride out of the class of ’25”—for as some understanding person once said (he must have been a Freshie)—Revenge is sweet.

Page SeventyThe Thronateeska, IQ21 Tfte 5 c.Kj oo I Are 4- Excerpts from Modern Latin Classics ('Translations by A.H .S. Students) From Caesar's High School Wars. All I ligh Schools are divided into three parts; one of which the Teachers comprise, another the Students, and a third, those who in their own language are called “People of Leisure,” in ours, “Loafers.” All these differ among themselves in language, customs, laws. Authority separates the Teachers from the Students; Reports, the Students from the Loafers. Of all these the strongest are the Teachers, because they are farthest away from answer hooks, "Jacks,” and other things which tend to weaken the mind: and because very often they come in contact with the Loafers with whom they wage almost daily wars. From Cicero’s Oration Against Loafers. How long, O Loafers, will you abuse our patience? How long will your waste of time worry us? To what end will your unbridled idleness hurl itself? Do the daily “watch" of the teachers, the fear of Page Seventy-oneThe Thronateeska, IQ2I being kept in, the fives on your report move you nothing? Whom oi us do you think to be ignorant of whom you are, where you are while we are at work, what plans for mischief you begin? O Times! O Customs! The Students know this, the Faculty sees it, yet you stay. Stay? Yea, you even come into our classes with your plans. You point out and designate certain ones of us each time to take the blame. Yet we, brave Students seem to do enough for the school if we avoid your chalk and erasers. From Virgil’s Wanderings of the Student. I sing of Lessons and Students, who driven by Work first came from the Coasts of the Unknown to the Shores of Knowledge. Much have they been tossed during High School days by alternate hopes and fears on account of the tasks assigned by their relentless Teachers, much also have they suffered in transition until they should gain for themselves a place in the school and make a headway toward a diploma—a class of Pupils from whence is the Race of Toilers and Achievers, and the Bulwark of the High School. Advice Advice to Freshmen—Don’t let education interfere with what you came here for. Advice to Sophomores—High School is all right if you have something to deaden the pain.

It is composed of the Sophomore and Freshman girls. The aim of the Society is to bring its members into closer communion with the humble philosophy of “Uncle Remus" who has won the hearts of so many with his humorous sayings. Our motto, a saying suggested by Mrs. Harris, widow of Uncle Remus, is “Big 'Possums climb little trees" and our symbol is the “Wren’s Nest," the name of the Harris home. Throughout the year we have enjoyed immensely the meetings of the Society; having special programs at Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, George Washington's birthday and Saint Patrick’s day. The pleasant memories of this Society will remain with its members, long after our days with the A. H. S. have passed. And many a moon Will wax and wane Before we see His like again. The Rabbit will hide As he always hid; The fox will do As he always did. But who can tell us What they say, Since Uncle Remus Has passed away?

The Junior Girls have always striven for something high, and the purpose of this Literary Society was to develop a strong appreciation of the best in literature and music; and to train in the practice of parliamentary order. Of course, every society has a name and what better idea could these girls have had than to name theirs “The Lanierian,” for their greatest Southern Poet, Sidney Lanier. At first it was rather embarrassing to read or play in society, especially when there were visitors, and often some forgot and had to be prompted. Rut as time went on they became accustomed to the work and profited by the experience, so at Christmas time they gave a special program in the presence of the Sophomore Girls. I bis program was so successfully carried out that they decided to have as their guests the Junior Boys and the Seniors. This they did February 22. and again entertained with an interesting program, carrying out the old story of George Washington, along with other patriotic personages and incidents in tableau form. Each meeting seemed an improvement over the one before and from time to time they arranged programs On some of the great men of English Literature, such as, Chaucer, Shakespeare and Tennyson, that they were studying at the time. Thus diligently attempting as did Lanier: “To know the clever, good and wise, Yet haunt the lonesome heights of Art.” Page Seventy-sevenPage Seventy-eight DOMESTIC SCIENCE LABORATORY The Thronateeska, IQ2IThe Thronateeska, 1921 Domestic Science The Albany High School is the second home of every student, whether boy or girl. Though our family is a large one, numbering about two hundred and seventy-nine, our household runs very smoothly. Home making and Domestic Arts are taught in the department presided over by our dear “Miss Mattie," whose sympathetic heart and cheerful smile invite confidence and trust from us all. Clothes that have been at the mercy of barbed wire fences, and other calamities are brought to Miss Mattie; and we often notice the longing glances that the poor boys cast towards this department, as savory odors float from the kitchen. Three times a week we are taught the essentials of sewing, and allowed to try our skill on whatever kind of garment we may choose to create. And twice a week, to our great joy, we are initiated into the mysteries of cooking. I am sure that those who have partaken of the annual banquets can vouchsafe that we attain the highest excellence along this line. The fame of our domestic science department is generally known. In the Georgia Products Day Dinners we have won first honor twice, and second honor once. Each time that we have entered the domestic science exhibits in the district meet, we have won first place. As an appreciation of our ability, and in view of the fact that this is one of the necessary departments of the High School, the Albany Housefurnishing Company presented us this year with a beautiful Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet, of which we are justly proud. All praise to the Domestic Science Department, for "civilized man can't live without cooks." —MAUDE KING. ‘Page Seventy-nineGIRLS’ PHYSICAL TRAINING CLASSThe Thronateeskiiy IQ2I THE MOLECULE Greatest Paper of its Size in the World. Volume 1 ALBANY. GEORGIA. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 18. 1920 Number 1 MISS MOLECULE MAKES HER BOW. ANOTHER VICTORY FOR A. H. S. THE SENIOR CLASS OBSERVES ARMISTICE DAY. Ladies and gentlemen. Miss Molecule makes her debut. Won’t you bid her welcome? You are not to imagine that her name hinders her from being the best little paper in the state of Georgia. The students of the Albany High School have dreamed and hoped ami worked for the appearance of this young lady, but until now she has been a 'mere phantom of delight. Today, as we present to you this, the result of our work, we feel that we have made a step forward. We have advanced, progressed. And where work, faith and progress are found, there must be success. We shall strive to make this a paper of the school, by the school and for the school. The members of the Class of '21, under the efficient direction of their teachers, have launched this venture. Each preceding year, every Senior Class has striven to attain some worthy and memorable achievement. such as. the publication of "The Thronateeska." the winning of champion basketball honors, or excellent class records. The Class of 21, while aspiring to all these, is bending every energy toward doing something individual for the material benefit and advancement of the High School. Miss Molecule will show you what the future citizens of Albany are thinking and doing. She will reflect the life of the students of the A. H. S., in these most important years of development. She will reveal our shortcomings as »well as our aspirations, and we hope will bring you so near to us that you will be more interested in us and in our school, the nucleus of all learning and the most important institution in the city. And so dear readers. Miss Molecule announces her purpose. May her mission claim your attention. her true worth impress you. her wit delight your fancy and her sincerity merit your good will. Miss Molecule makes her bow 1 The A. H. S. football team added another victory to their long list Friday, defeating the scrub team of the Second District A. M. School from Tif-ton by a score of 14 to 7. The game was well fought on both sides, but the visitors only saved themselves from a worse defeat by kicking the ball on several occasions when the A. H. S. cohorts carried the ball almost to their opponents goal line. The Albany eleven made both of their touchdowns in the first quarter. Clifford Cameron getting the ball on an end run the third down from the beginning of the game, and racing over half the length of the field for a touchdown. Nelson then kicked a goal, making in all seven points for Albany. After the kick off. Albany began to push the Aggies again, and John Hall finally carried the ball over for a second touchdown. Nelson once more kicked the goal, making the score 14 to 0 in Albany’s favor, where it remained for the remainder of the half. In the third quarter Tifton made gain after gain over Albany. finally making a touchdown. She repeated this in the last quarter, but Albany rallied nobly, and held Tifton for three successive downs within a yard of the goal line, the last down giving her the ball. Hooten then after trying hitting the line several times, kicked the ball far up the field, and the game ended before either team could do much gaining. Tifton tried to juggle the ball up the few inches mcessary to the touchdown, hut Referee Tallman was right on the job. and dived in and secured the ball before such an attempt could succeed. Albany was not in good shape for the game, but in spite of this she put up a fine battle. All the back field men made good gains, and the line held well, in spite of the fact that several players were out of condition. Cameron’s brilliant run was the chief feature of the game. A very interesting and entertaining program was observed on Armistice Day by the members of the Senior Class. The day was fittingly celebrated for our fallen heroes who made the supreme sacrifice on the fields of France. Their deeds were told. The battles that they fought and won so valiantly, America’s entry into the war. methods of warfare and many other appropriate topics were discussed. The program was under the supervision of Miss Whitmore, the history teacher, ably assisted by Joe Pate, and the following numbers w'ere rendered: Introduction.—Maude King.

ALBANY, GEORGIA. MARCH 31. 1921. EDITORIALLY SPEAKING. The Senior Class of 21 has made a step forward on the road of progress that leads to success. It consists in inaugurating and printing a school paper, a chronicle of the most important events of the school year and a record of the best work done. It is essentially fitting that the largest graduating class that has ever existed in the Albany High School should leave some appropriate work of their passing. The Molecule is such. It is edited for the whole student body, and we hope will mean much for the students and teachers. We appeal to the citizens of Albany and to the classes of the Albany High School for co-operation and support in the beginning of our paper, which we trust wi 1 be a credit to the faculty and those who have the interest of the school at heart. Are you with us ? CAMPUS SNAPS The A. H. S. belle—Miss Alene Brooks—entertained her victims and defeated rivals at a pretty party Saturday night. The feature of the evening was a new and delightful game just introduced into the Hi School circles—“PROMS." Ice cream and cake “was et” by all. Yo countrie frond. We are all wondering who the annual A. H. S. bride will be. If you are “gonna do” it, do it quick ! "Hands on hips, place—1, 2, 3. 4." “Bend trunks left,” just as before. “Stretch arms upward, 1, 2, 3.” Gee! This is just plain misery. “Left outward, fall out,” the same old thing. “Thrust arms sideways." We let them fling. Ours but to do or die—No use complaining. All this, you see. is physical training. Miss Mamie told me I had to edit a sheet ca led “Sports Column," and us I gazed around, the only sport I find is in a looking glass, and I decided she must have meant an apostrophe before the ‘s.’ Girls’ Basketball. Our Girls’ Basketball teams this year are working hard. Last year we worked under difficulties, as most of the time we were without a coach. We have good material, and under the efficient instruction of Mrs. Y. A. Lott and Mr. Mooney, we are daily improving. The second team now easily surpasses last year’s First Team in passing and celerity. We are going to show the students of High School and our teachers that the Girls of A. H. S. are good athletes as well as the Boys. Watch for our first game! We ll be there for VICTORY. ALUMNI NOTES. And guess who’s in town? Dan Brosnan. our erstwhile basketball champion. now a prosperous traveling salesman for the Famous Candy Co. He’s doing well, too, ns you’d expect of Dan in anything he would undertake. Agnes Scott College. Decatur, is fortunate in having this year three of the A. H. S.’ former students. Martha McIntosh. Clyde Passmore. and Ruth Craig, as they are all good workers and charming young Indies.

We started the season without any extra prospects, the material was light, and rather green. We were, however, fortunate enough to get Mr. John H. Floyd for a coach, who had been on a college team for a number of years, and was well versed in every phase of the game. Under bis coaching, the team was soon put into shape, and was in pretty good form for the first game. Americus was the first team we were slated to play, the game to be pulled off on the enemy’s territory. Our men went into the game and played like veterans. From the first, we had the best of it, and in spite of their superior weight, made repeated gains.. We were unfortunate enough to let them score, but even then the game ended substantially in our favor. .The second Americus game was the one tragedy of the season. They were to give us a return game the next week, and our men became rather overconfident over the previous vic-torv. In addition to this, we did not keep training strictly, and when Americus brought a team reinforced by several husky, non-high school players, we were defeated. All games played after this were victories, although at times we were in pretty tight places. The other games were practically repetitions of the Americus game. Albany was nearly always lighter than her opponents, but the superior agility and endurance of Albany always carried us to victory While many of the other games were close, they would probably not have been so had our men always been fit. but through sickness and injuries, were seldom able to send our best line-up into games. Below follows the season's record: Albany in Americus Albany 25 ' Opponent 7 Americus in Albany 0 7 Albany in Bainbridge 19 7 Moultrie in Albany 3 0 Albany in Thomsaville 27 0 Tifton in Albany 14 7 Albany in Ashburn 38 0 Thomasville in Albany 51 0 Bainbridge in Albany 24 0 202 28 The star of the team was Clifford Cameron. Cliff played at half for the first few games, but the latter part of the season he was trans- Page Eighty-sixThe Thronateeska, ig2i ferrecl to end. He was the fastest man on the team, hard to tackle, and was especially good at catching long passes. Once Cliff had a clear field, he was never overtaken. Walter Hooten, quarterback, was the right man for directing the team. He was a good field general, and his judgment made the team many long gains. He was also a good passer and catcher, and Albany’s proficiency in completing forward passes was in a large measure due to him. Holding down the hard position of full-back was Captain Judson Hall, a heavy line hitter, and a good man on the defense. When it was necessary to gain a little ground quick, Jud, was generally picked to make it. , I John Hall and Tom Nelson were fine men at half. John was a heavy gainer, and a good all round man, hardly ever failing to gain a good stretch. His one weakness was speed, for though he often got a fairly clear field, he was seldom able to reach the goal line before being overtaken. Nelson was a good gainer, and speedy too, and could generally manage to go under the line, if not through it. Hard as a greased pig to stop. Holding down the end position with Cameron was Joe Pate. Pate was a heavy man, and generally a good player, but sometimes hot headed. At the important place of center was Ralph Smith. Smith was an old player, and accurate in passing, and it was seldom that the ball was not placed right. Smith was also a good defense man. At tackle we had two fast hard hitters. George Miller and Julian Harris were both fine players, the latter especially good at defense, and the former on offense, although both were good at either. In the last few games of the season, Harris was tried in the back-field, and his hard-hitting ability makes it probable that he will be next year’s fullback. Dwight Palin and Joe Sellers at guard were too good reliable men. They were good hitters on offensive, unyielding on the defensive. Good guards are essential to a team, and Sellers and Palin did their work well. It would only be fitting to mention the prospects for next year. Clifford Cameron has been elected captain, and should make a good one. In addition, Nelson and John Hall will probably be back for half, and Harris, mentioned abo„ve, will make a good full-back. Smith will be back at center, Palin for guard, and the other line positions are undecided. However, we will probably have some new material next year to make the team, and several good substitutes will be back. Sydney Cook, I.annis Rouse and Eugene Harris look like good men for some of these positions.

Mrs. Y. C. Lott, CoachI' ie Thronateeska, iq2I Review of Basketball Season At the opening of the basketball season, prospects were not very bright. There was plenty of material out for the team, but Joe Sellers was the only actual varsity man to return. However, Xick Hunter had had experience on another team, and some of the other candidates had played on the A. H. S. second team, but even with this, it was practically impossible to mould the material into a team within the short space of time remaining. This lack of practice was felt in the first game. Omega furnished the opposition, and although Albany put up a brave fight, poor passing and lack of team-work caused us to lose the game. The second game of the season was with Columbus on her home court. This also resulted in a defeat for A. H. S., although Albany showed much better form. Albany improved so much in the next few days, that all the rest of the games were victories, with one exception. This defeat was from Americus. One of our best players could not enter the game, and the Americus referee discriminated against us, but we had ample revenge the next week when we defeated Americus in Albany by a large score. The last game of the season was with Omega. Albany had the pleasure of wiping out the previous defeat suffered at the hands of Omega. Columbus was the only team we did not get a chance to come back at. All the players were confident that we could have defeated Columbus had we another opportunity, but Columbus must have believed something of the same sort, for they would not play us. hether we had a better team than Columbus or not, we were undoubtedly champions of a large part of South Georgia, and the high school has good reason to feel proud of the basketball team, who sustained well the past records of our teams in this branch of sport. Albany played eleven games, namely: Albany Opponents Omega in Albany.............. 17 31 Albany in Columbus .......... 25 52 Pelham in Albany............ 47 25 Albany in Moultrie........... 25 19 Albany in Dawson............. 31 38 Dawson in Albany............ 35 14 Moultrie in Albany............ 31 21 Dublin in Albany.............43 30 Albany in Americus........... 30 45 Americus in Albany........... 61 25 Omega in Albany.............. 46 27 391 327 Page NinetyThe Thronaieeska, IQ21 Nick Hunter was the shining star of the team. He was a fast man, good at passing and catching the hall, an accurate shot both from long distances and under the goal, and an all round good man. Captain Joe Sellers, at guard, was another good man. Joe is an old player, a fine reliable guard, and a good man for any team. Joe is especially good in a hard tussle, playing a better game when Albanv is losing than at any other time. Ralph Smith was another fine player, holding down the position of forward regularly for the last half of the season. Ralph was a fast brilliant player, and an excellent shot. John Hall, elected next year's captain, was a good man at forward. Russell Ball was also a mighty good little player, although not often getting an opportunity to show what he could do. Tom Nelson, guard, held down his position well. He was fast, and active, and a good passer and catcher, as well as an excellent guard. Ben Harper was regular guard. Ben was a good defensive player, and a good pointer, although rather weak at passing and catching. Julian Harris, who played substitute center, was also a fine all round player, and will probably be center next year. The prospects for a champion team next year are good. Harris will probably be back for center, John Hall and Ralph Smith for forward, Tom Nelson and Clifford Cameron for guard, besides whatever new material turns out. Girls’ Basketball At the beginning of the basketball season, many girls came out to practice trying to make the team, so with plenty of material from which to choose, we had hopes of a winning team, in the survival of the fittest. Several of the players had had little experience, however, and Mrs. Y. C. Lott, who was engaged to coach the team, worked hard to get them into form. Lois Jarvis and Louise Hudson were the only members of last year’s first team that were still in school. Edwina Brown and Philippa Delph had played on last year’s scrub team. Jeanette Ashe and Eugenia Clarke had gone to school in Macon and Charleston, rcspec tivelv, and neither had had much experience. We girls were unusually fortunate in our choice of leaders. Lois Page Ninety-oneThe Thronateeska, IQ2I Jarvis was elected manager, and Louise Hudson was made Captain. Out of eight games, the team won four. We captured one victory from Americus, one from Camilla, and two from Leesburg. Lois Jarvis at forward had the honor of scoring most points. Shi was a fast player, and a good shot, and seldom missed a goal. Captain Louise Hudson, also at forward, was good at passing and goal shooting, and ran Lois a close second as a point maker. Edwina Brown, side center, was a fast little player, always right after the ball, and especially good at passing. Jeannette Ashe and Eugenia Clarke did effective work as guards, causing their opponents to miss many good shots, and displayed very good teamwork. Mary Gillespie, Myrtle Tomlin, and Gertrude Shemwell, subs., rendered good service whenever they were called upon. The team is very grateful to Mr. Mooney of the Y. M. C. A. for the helpful advice and many kind services he has rendered them. —PHILIPPA DELPH.The Thronateeska, IQ21 Page Ninety-threeThe Thronateeska, IQ2I Baseball Team Sellers and Nelson, pitchers Harris, catcher Hunter, first base and pitcher Tyler, second base Smith and Hall, third base Cameron, shortstop (Captain) Ball, right field Marks, left field Johnson, center field H. M. Mills, Coach George Miller, Manager Substitutes: Wimbly Johnson, Joe Freeman and Angus Barr Baseball Prospects At ihe opening of the baseball season, prospects were good for developing a crack team. There was not so much material, but what there was was good, most of them having previous experience. Prof. H. M. Mills consented to coach the team, and has turned out an excellent hunch of players. The season has begun well, and the prospects are that the base- Tage Ninety-fourThe Thronateeska, IQ2I ball team will eclipse the record of the football and basketball teams. So far we have played four games, winning every one. None of these teams showed anything like the form Albany did, our men showing up especially well in batting. Record of these games follows below: Americus in Albany Albany 14' Opponents 3 Albanv in Cordele 15 6 Cordele in Albany 14 4 In addition to these games, Manager Miller has on his schedule, Tifton Hi and Titton A. M. School, Thomasville Hi and Plunk-et's School at Thomasville, Bainbridge, Jacksonville and Dublin, and several dates still open. Albany has about as fine a bunch of players as can be found on a High School team of anywhere near its size. We have three good pitchers, Tom Nelson, Nick Hunter and Joe Sellers. Sellers is an old player, and a good reliable twirler. This is Nelson's first year as a pitcher at A. H. S., but he has developed remarkable ability. Nick Hunter regularly holds down first base, where he seldom fails to stop a ball, or prove thoroughly reliable. Nick is also a good hitter. So far, he hasn't had much of a chance to show what he can do in the pitching line, being needed at first, but what little he has done has been good. The position of catcher is filled by Julian Harris. Harris is new to this position, but is learning fast, and is already a good high school catcher. He is also a good batter, generally slamming the ball for a good distance when he bits it. Russell Ball has also been tried out for catcher, although regularly holding down right field, and will prove an efficient substitute for Harris. Russ is also one of the teams best hitters. Holding down the other two field positions are Henry Marks and Bud Johnson. Both are good fielders, covering their positions well, and Johnson is a good man with a bat. Cameron at shortstop is just the man for the place. He is fast and a good player, and also one of the best batsmen. Tyler at second base plays his position well, and manages to put out most of the men that get as far as second. John Hall and Ralph Smith are both trying for third base, and there is little to choose between them, both being fine players.
