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.

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.
