BRINR The Old and New Buildings Day by day the new Athens High School building towers higher and higher toward the sky. As it nears completion we begin to wonder how we shall feel when we bid good-bye to the old building on the hill. Our old Alma Mater has witnessed many scenes of vic- tory, and, we must add, a few ofbitter defeat. For many years Athens High School has been an honored seat of learning in this community. Now it is to be given a new home, better adapted to our increasing departments. Among the new con- veniences which will be ours are a large auditorium and a well equipped gym. Every person will have an individual locker which will prevent the disappearance of his belongings. Limitations on elective branches will be greatly decreased: study halls will be less crowded: the library will be larger and better equipped. These things seem wonderful to us as we hear of them, but they can be fully comprehended only when we can make use of them. As the time approaches when our new abode is to be opened, what are our feelings? Are they regret or expectation? Sorrow or joy? Or perhaps both? Yes. we impatiently await our en- trance to the new home, but at the same time we regret leaving the scene of so many pleasant memories. Page Ten

. H -A ,ve ' d Lu by ki, 1 MR. HARSHMAN Principal Rapidly acquainting himself with the inter- ests of the Athens High School, Mr. I-larshman proved a worthy successor to Mr. Rupp. Al- though he has held the ofiice of principal but one year. he has already endeared himself in the hearts of the student-body and has been a kind and considerate friend. It is the hope of the entire community that he will see fit to con- tinue in this office for many years. MR. C. E. STAILEY Superintendent The saddest information received during the past few months was the news of the resigna- tion of Mr. Stailey. Commcncing his duties as superintendent when the Class of '24 entered High School. Mr. Stailey has been a faithful friend and councilor of the student-body. It can sincerely be said that. with him at the helm, the Athens High School has rapidly advanced into the rank of the foremost high schools in Ohio. His departure will be long mourned by all those who have been under his supervision. MISS PICKERING Assistant Principal Athens High School is most fortunate in havf ing as faithful and conscientious a stand-by as Miss Pickering. As a faculty member, her services are countless and of an inestimable value. To the student-body she is not only an instructor and advisor but also a willing and loyal friend. Page T wel ue
