 Three years and nine months ago the grades sent forth into this high school a new class, conceived in ignorance, and dedicated to the proposition that both Seniors and Freshmen are created equal. Since then we have been engaged in a great civil war, testing whether this class or any class so conceived and so dedicated can endure against the faculty and five per cent. We are now leaving the great battlefield of that war. We have come to say farewell to that field where we have struggled and frolicked that the name of Athens High School might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this, but in a larger sense, we cannot edu- cate the Freshmen, we cannot instruct the Juniors, we cannot greatly better this high school. The brave students of the past who struggled here have immortal- ized A. H. S. far above our power to add or detract. Athens High will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here. It is for us, the going, to here dedicate ourselves to the unfinished task of education which this faculty has thus far so nobly carried on. It is for us to here dedicate ourselves to the great work remaining before us, that from these walls of learning we take increased devotion to that cause for which the faculty gave their full meas- ure of devotion. We here highly resolve that this class, under the faculty, shall have a new desire for education, and that this school, by the students, of the stu- dents, and for the students, shall not perish from the earth. —Mary Peoples.
