Class History IN 1928. one hundred forty students entered Athens High School as Sopho- mores. This was the largest class that had entered. At the first class meet- ing George Merchant was elected president. Mary Jones, vice-president, and Marvin Wood, secretary-treasurer. The girls of the class started off with a bang by winning the financial prize of the Fall Festival. I his being the 'baby' class of the school, the members were kicked around by upper classmen, getting the worst end of most everything. However, its contributions in athletics and music were appreciated. As this group entered upon its Junior year, the class prospered under George Merchant, with the aid of Marvin Wood and Dwight Harvey. Again the girls showed spirit by winning a placque for their work in the Fall Festival. The committee chosen for planning the annual Prom did excellent work. Decorations were unique and a good orchestra furnished the music. The Junior Class gave one of the biggest and best Proms ever held in Athens High School.

retary-treasurer. An Overall Party was held early in the year so that all members could become acquainted. As dignified Seniors, they became stars in all activities. On Hobo Day the Seniors reigned in their worst riggins. Typical hoboes were seen everywhere, with Dorothy Frank and “Texas Gorham car- rying off the honors. Two parades were held on Court Street. An assembly program, at which the Hoboes entertained the under-classmen, was held in the auditorium. Time slipped by—the Junior Prom—a gala time, beautiful flowing dresses, handsome boy friends—Class Sermon—Class Day—Commencement— and good-bye to Athens High School. EXECUTIVE BOARD Merchant, McCoy.
