We organized, and in a short time our class began to click. Despite the fact that we were Freshies, we did not suffer from jeers of upper-classmen. The Algebra Club and the Science Club were probably the best attended clubs of the year, Com- mencement speakers were Jane Gill, Bill Clark, Beatrice Ricketts, and John Pickens. As sophomores we began our most active school years, when our school be'S,'an to have a deeper significance to us. As juniors and sf-niors we have -also entered into the activities of Athens High wholeheartedly. Socially, our class has certainly not been lacking. The class has sponsored several parties, particularly the Sophomore Party and the Junior Prom. 'These occasions were well altended and marked by a great deal of enthusiasm. Our members havt sup- ported the following clubs in our senior high school years: Dramatics Club, Hi-'Y Club, Girl Reserve Club, Latin Club, Math Club, Manuel Arts Club, Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club, Band, and Orchestra, The Megaphone , our school paper, is concluding a very successful year, The editor, Bill Kircher, literary, Betty Gullum, and business manager, Tom Craig, are from our class. A large part of the remaining staff is from our class. John Pickens, Betty Gullum, Carl Clifford, and Tom Reading, members of this past year's successful debate teams, will graduate this spring. We can hardly be said to lack talent dramatically when members of our class have held leads in school plays and operettas time after time, even when competing Class Officers DICK CORWIN, Prea, BETTY GULLUM, V-Pres., BEATRICE BREWSTER, Sec., BILL CLARK, Treas, Ten f g with upper-classmen. Since Jane Gill very ably filled the leading role in Meet the VVife , the high school play in her sophomore year, others from the class have also reached the heights. Bill Kircher competently acted the leading parts in this year's play, The Lottery Man, and in last year's and again this year's operettas. Lorene Rodehaver held the lead in last year's operetta, Bill Clark was often seen behind the footlights in high school productions. The present senior class has always boosted athletics. VVe are honored with having many important cogs in the past football and basketball machines in our class. Richard CDic-kj Atkins, captain of last year's football team, has donned football togs for the last time. Severson, Lowry, Bates, and Mclianiels were also lettermen. In basketball, Stacy, Severson, and Oxley were outstanding. These boys, along with many others, must be commended for their valiant efforts to uphold the name of our high school. Scholastically, our class ranks among the highest in Athens High School history, both the class as a. whole and individually, It is unusual for a home room to have an average better than a B, but Home Room 308 did it often this year. Members of the Student Board I First Te4'mffCarovl Ruston, Beatrice Brewster Third Term-Dennis McDaniel, Mary Jo Twiss, Second Term-Dick Corwin, Ruth Chandler Fourth Term- --Aubrey Morris, Jane Gill. Eleven class have received numerous awards in contests with other schools. Toni Reading, with Mr. Vxlood as teacher, received first place in the state scholarship contest in the Algebra test during his Freshman year. In the scholarship test for high school seniors held last March 19, seven from the first eleven places in this county went to members of our class. First place was taken by John Pickens, second by Tom Reading, and third by Charles Emish. Aubrey Morris, Sarah Sherman, Ralph VVag'ner, and Riley Gaskill placed seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth respectively. Thus thc more serious side of our high school life has not been neglected. Finally, school spirit is an important factor in high school life. In our four years at Athens High School we have supported athletics, draniatics, debate, The Megaphone, and parties. As, tor the faculty, we have been particularly fortunate in having a competent and loyal staff ot' teachers. Besides supervising our scholastic efforts, they have proved inost valuable in the case of parties and extra-curricular activities. Mr. Woofl, our principal during our first and last years, has been a 1-val friend to all of us, and has given us a cheering word when we most needed it. Our class president is Richard fllickj Corwin, The fact that hc has served in this capacity tor Your consecutive years shows his leadership ability and great popu- larity. Our other class officers this year arc: vice-president, Betty Gullurng secretary, Jane Gill, and treasurer, Bill Clark. NVQ are approaching' the end of our high school career. Some or us will un- doubtedly continue our studies, while for others this will be the last year of formal schooling. One thing is ccrtainfwe will always remenihcr our alma mater and our happy high school days. Twclzfe RUTH HAYDEN Art Club, 3-45 Family Up- Stairs , 3.

This large class had one hundred and seventy-six members. Its class day program was held in the High School Auditorium on the ninth day of June. On the evening of June eleventh promotion exercises were held. Josephine McVay, Mary McCune, Celia Hornbrook, Roderick Eddy, Ferol Betz, and William Leaders had been chosen as speakers. Each of these speakers gave a short talk concerning different phases of the topic, Ours National Wonders . Certificates were presented to the members of the class by Mr. A. B. Roe, a member of the Board of Education. In the fall of nineteen hundred and thirty, one hundred and sixty students entered Athens High School as Sophomores. Joe Rardin was elected president, James Roach, vice-presidentg and Mary McCune, secre- tary-Treasurer. The members of this class won both awards at the annual Spring Frolic. Joe Rardin took a lead in the operetta, Love Pirates of' Hawaii, and other Sophomores had parts. This year this class elected for its. officers: Joe Rardin, president, Ferol Betz, vice-president, Mary Ellen Bibbee, treasurerg and Roderick Eddy, secretary. Under the leadership of these officers a Junior Prom is being planned by the members of the class. The members of this class are upholding their fame as actors by participating in many plays, especial- ly in The Big Pond , the annual Junior-Sophomore Play, in which six out of the eight parts were portrayed by Juniors. Several important parts in the operetta, Oh Doctor , were taken by members of this class. The Juniors are proud also to claim two of the de- baters among their honored students. Scholastically, this class ranks high, a large portion of its members being on the Honor Roll each time, and that number increasing each term. This year two Juniors, Edward Fields and Jimmie Roach, received letters for football, and in basketball, Frank Bolin and Edward Fields re- ceived letters. 7 ty 'Q v 4'-4Y,9iy 9 x5 ,Vx 1' I Isl, x x '5 9 .

Although it was not thought necessary to organize, they made a very good start in Senior High. In the annual Fall Festival, a Sophomore home room placed second in the contest of booths with Si Hayseed's Country Store. Three regulars on the football team, Speiser, Goodfellow, and Whip- ple, were from this class, and both they and several sophomore substitutes will be holding down positions during the next two years. Whipfple, Speiser, Tribe, Hardman, Duncan, and Henry were the Sophomores on this year's basketball squad. The assistant manager of both football and basketball, Joe Shafer, is a sophomore. John Phillips showed his stuff as cheer- leader at almost every game. Sophomore room 100 upset the dope when they vanquished a senior home room to win the Home Room Basketball Tournament. The Sopho- mores also won the Class Basketball Tournament by defeating the Seniors. Apparently, brighter days are ahead for Athens High School Athletics. ln debate, Jack Meister established an enviable reco-rd, being the first Sophomore to make the team in many years. Charles Sias was on the team, also, as an. alternate. Two sophomores, Willard Smith anfd Joe Gill, were on the Mega- phone staff. Ann Beasley, Phyllis. Jordan, and Joe Gill were in the cast of the operetta, Oh Doctor, and many other sophomores were in the choruses. Robert Bingman was accompanist, and Maxine Westfall, Lewis Speiser, Lorna Coofper, and Dick Whipple aided in the designing and painting of the scenery. The Sophomore Class contributed many members to the Boys' and the Girls' Glee Clubs this year. The Glee Clubs appeared in assembly pro- grams, P. T. A. programs, the Christmas program, and at the George Washington Bi-Centennial Celebration. A series of debates held in the four English classes was one of the most. interesting features of the sophomore school life. Each class had a different subject for debate and much interest was aroused and training given. The final tournament was held May 11th and 13th, between the six best debaters from each class, the subject being Home Study. The Sophomore Dramatic Clubs, one from each English class, re- ceived much attention. Three of their plays were oofnsidered worthy of a place on the assembly programs. P Tl tg Joe Gill and Dorothy Duncan were members of the cast of the Jun- ior-Sophomore play, The Big Pond. Marjorie Beasley designed the pro- grams. At the annual Father-Son Banquet of the Hi-Y Club, Donald Harvey gave the address of welcome to the fathers. The artistic ability of Dick Whipple was manifest on the programs. Probably the most important dramatic work was done in the Spring Frolic. The first evening, home room 100 and 103 presented Weiners on Wednesday. The cast included Dorothy Duncan, Bill Roberson, Ann Beasley, Donald Harvey, Eileen Laird and John Phillips. On the second night, Come Out of It was presented by rooms 203 and 201. Jean Bar- low, Boris Wooley, Don Rowland, Phyllis Schuler, Maxine Westfall, Lewis Speiser, Dorothy Minameyer, and Solomon Rosenburg comprised the cast. Both plays were exceptionally entertaining, and Weinerls on Wednesday won second place for both nights. The former was coached by Miss Hand, and the latter by Mr. Samford. Besides all these activities, much attention has been given to schol- arship. The following sophomores represented Athens High School in the state scholarship tests held May 7: History, Ferne Rowland and Jack Meister, English, Jean Barlow and Evelyn Rustong Geometry, Charles Sias and Willard Smith, and Latin, Phyllis Schuler and Anna Jacoby. Certainly the Sophomore Class has made a record this year which a few years hence, they can look back upon with a great deal of pride.

MCKINLEY ETHEI, MQEXYIEN SHERMAN GILMORE This is Coach McKinley's third year a' Athens High, and at last he is beginning to reap the fruits of his labors. He has turned out line teams this year in both foot- ball and basketball. Nvorking with small, light men, he developed a football team both fast and tricky, which went through the season on the .500 mark, Athens suffered de- feat at the hands of New Boston, Lancaster, Middleport, and Gallipolis, all larger, heavier teams, but they went down tighting with that old Athens fight spirit, The basketball team was also small and fast. but defeated Gallipolis once, Logan twice, XVellston once, and Middleport once, and fell before Nelsonville three times, Marietta twice, Pomeroy once, and Middleport once. Next year we look for big things in the- xx ay of athletics at Athens High, The assistant coach, Sherman Gilmore, deserves: much credit for his work in football and basketball. His work at the football field was very helpful, and he suc- ceeded in building up a Junior High basketball team which won the Ohio Valley Cham- pionship in a tournament at Mariettat ln her four years at Athens High, Miss Ethel McEwen, though not allowed to have varsity teams, has built up very extensive and Well-rounded inter-class and inter- color programs. She has developed hockey, basketball, baseball, ten-nis, apparatus work, volley ball, hiking and dancing to a high point, and has combined this with the G. A. A. More girls have been encouraged to take part in athletics this year than ever before. Tlzirfy-fam E52 veg 7 Nw ' 922 4 o QE Eu'- FE 'DC Qinc :J -Q EEE.

The Bulldogs finished just on the .500 mark. New Lexington fell before the Big Red, but on the following Friday, at night, Athens went down before the powerful attack of Lancaster. The taste of defeat was sweetened somewhat by the fact that Lancaster remained undefeated and gained state-wide recognition. During the remainder of the season the Mcliinleymen suffered defeats at the hands of New Boston, Middleport, and Gallipolis. They tied with Logan and took an easy victory over Wellston. The dearest memory of the past football season. was the fact that twice Athens defeated their age old rivals, Nelsonville, by scores that were too large even to be classed as decisive. The annual football banquet was held at the close of the season. The letters were issued and the following received awards. Juniors: James Roach, and Edward Fields. Sop-homores: Lewis Speiser, John Goodfellow, and Dick Whipple. The seniors have already been mentioned. The pa-st season marked the re-entrance of Athens in the South- eastern Ohio Athletic Association. 1931 SCHEDULE Athens 14, New Lexington 0. Sept. 25 Athens 23 at Lancaster 27.

Boys' Glee Club Another old art has come to life-boys' singing! After a lapse of several years, Athens High School has a boys' glee club again. Under the direction of Miss Cross, much talent has been brought to light. A great deal of credit must be given to Mr. Wood for his persistent efforts in arous- ing interest in behalf of the club. His loyal support has certainly been ap- preciated by the boys. In February members of the glee club presented a full assembly pro- gram. Several times the boys sang at Parent-Teachers meetings. In April the glee club sang at the George Washington Bicentennial Celebration at the West State Street Cemetery. Practically all important members of the male cast of the operetta were taken from the Boys' Glee Club. The Senior High boys' quartet was composed of Edward Wise, Bill Porter, Robert Holdren, and Robert Stacy. Robert Bingman was the loyal accompanist. Forty-two FIRST ROVV: Phyllis Schuler.

The Glee Club sang before the P. T. A. and the assemblies several times, conducted a vesper service at Christmas, and combined with the Boys' Glee Club, gave an operetta enti- tled, Oh Doctor. The Glee Club was also on the program at the South- eastern Ohio Teachers meeting, the Bicentennial Celebration, and the Baccalaureate. A tea was given in the spring for the faculty and the musi- cal organizations. With this list of achievements before them, next year's club will have a high goal for their efforts.

S. Band headed the processions from the high school to the football field. The boys were always on the side lines to spur the team to victory. They were present also at one game away from home-the game with our traditional rivals from up the valley-Nelsonville. With football a subject of the past, the band next turned its atten- tion to adding ze-st to the basketball games by playing stirring marches' at the beginning and between halves of the home games. Twice during the year, the band appeared as a concert organization --once before the Teachers of Southeastern Ohio at the Memorial Audi- torium, and once before the P. T. A. in the high school auditorium. The band was directed this year by Mr. Kermit Dehl, a member of the Junior High School faculty.

DIRECTOR: Kermit Dehl, Qrchestra The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Kermit Dehl, has appeared at various functions throiughtout the year. Among these were the school plars, the operetta, the Christmas Cantata, and a special program for the P. T. A. The orchestra is fortunate in having a great number of young violinists who promise to develop into a very strong string section. Among the numbers played this year were selections from Bach, Handel, Mozart, and Beethoven. Forty-five DRAMATICS Dramatic-s this year have been the most successful that Athens High has ever l-Lnown. Under the capable direction of Mr. A, A. Nellis, the plays were stamped as hits by the audiences. This year, for the first time, the Sophomore and Junior classes combined forces and were very impressive in their interpreation of The Big Pond. The work of each individual, in the play, was highly commendable. The nrst production of the year was in thc form of a delightfully complicated comedy, by Rida Johnson Young, The Lottery Man. The dflicult sets for this pro- duction were made by the Art Class entirely. Most impressive was the set for the second act which was handled by two members of the art class. It was a clever modernistic design. The Lottery Man was hardly over before tryouts for the operetla were held and practice began. Musical supervision was under Miss Helen Cross while Mr. Nellis coached the speaking and acting. On March 4th, before the largest crowd ever to view a high school production, Oh Doctor, was presented. Again the art classes lent their talent in making the scenery. After the operetta came the Junior-Sophomore play, which has been described, and after it the Annual Spring Frolic, Instead of the different classes giving one com- edy and one drama, as has been the custom up to this year, each gave two comerlys. The winner of the plays this year was the Seniors. The girls of 302 and the boys of 303 combined to put on A Bit of Gossip. It was coached by Miss Johnston. Second place was taken by Miss Hand's Sophoimores, who presented a delightful comedy, 'iVVeinies on Wednesday. The Senior play, which marked the close of the dramatic season at Athens High was presented in the three-act comedy, Skiddin'g by Aurania Rouverol, June 3rd. The success of dramatics cannot be described in words but it can be said that dramatics this year vouch for bigger and better plays next year. 'SKIDDINGU KCastj Aunt Milly . ....... Andy ............

Making of jewelry was the chief work accom-P plished. Several well done pieces were turned out. Unfinished class work was completed in the club as well as outside problems. Various phases of art, new and old, were discussed, and the lives of great artists and the conflicting influences on their works were studied. Several lecture-teas were given in order to encourage' interest among all the students of the school as well as among those enrolled in Art classes. Members of the organization designed and painted the stage scenery for the annual operetta, Oh Doctor. The stage sets for the J unior-Sopho- more play and the Senior play were created by several of the Art group, The club has had the most successful year it has ever known to date.

F ifty-five THE ARENA The 1932 Arena has assumed the task of placing, in a concrete and condensed form, a panoramic view of the past year at Athens High School. To the best of its ability it has striven to preserve a memory of all the joys and experiences in various activities of school life. If it has caught a glimpse of the striving, busy life of the high school world and has re- tained it in these pages for the years to come, then its efforts have not been in vain and its purpose has been forwarded. This annual is the combined efforts of every member of the staff. The Editor wishes to express his gratitude and appreciation to the more faithful ones.
