e Senior Class History In writing- of this, our class histoi-y, our minds are filled with pleasant thoughts of the past, of present and of future. Tender memories arise, and yet with it all there comes a feeling of sadness, almost regret. It was in 1925 that our class of ’29 began its career. We were ushered into Athens High with proper exercises (and smiles) but we came intent on leaving our names on record. During this first year of High School, which was spent in the Junior High building, the student body elected “Bob” Cooper to be its president. One of the successful enterprises of this year was the Operetta, “Hulda of Holland,” composed mainly of members of our class. The next year we came back with the nom de plume of “Freshies” changed to the more dignified one of “Sophies” and we believed that we deseived this alteration of titles. Our class made known to the higher classes that we had come to do our share and we soon had representatives in all the branches of athletics and other activities of the school. With joyfully important steps we walked back the following Septem- ber. This year brought more work than the former years but with it came also more fun. The class chose as its officers, Jack Swanson, President; Hollis Shaffer, Vice President, and Russell Hall, Secretary-Treasurer. We gave cur loyal support to the things the Senior class undertook and at the end of the year honored them by the annual Junior-Senior Prom which we believe was a success. In our last year, 1928-29, our class participated in all of the different activities, music, dramatics, athletics and the many other events of daily occurence. Again this year “Bob” Cooper was elected president of the Student body. Scholarship is really the most important part of our school life and our class has a record that is very creditable. But beside our studies and oui- work we have had good times that will long remain pleasant memories. The executives of our class for this year are: President, Russell Hall; Vice President, Jack Swanson, and Secretary-Treasurer, Dorothy Wilson. We are eagerly yet with a feeling of regret approaching the end of the year. But we know that if we face Life with the same spirit and determination that has characterized our High School years some of us must gain fame and success to its highest degree. One thing is certain. We will always look back upon our four years in A. H. S. as one of the brightest of all the bright spots in our past. [23] —E. L. and T. C.
