NF TTIE DIXIE CLA SS POEM We the class of '28 are very proud to sav, That we will have just 24, to graduate this May, Some of you d0n't know them all, these girls and gentlemen, I'll introduce them to you now, the very best I can. There's Rudy-he's so tall, and Willard's kinda plump, But we agree, in anything, they're not the kind to slump, The girls all flock around him, that's Orville our class shiek, And Robert Ohl is a radio fan, that simply can't be beat. Next comes Pearl with a sunny smile, and Zelma with hair of brown, Should you chance to meet these girls, a smile would greet you, not a frown Blanche and Evalyn, our class twins, do without them we could not, For when they play their violins, we're never ready for them to stop. Well Georgia's kept her long, brown curls, and Elsie's a friend true blue, 'Ihey're just the very type of girls, that will appeal to you, Mary Miller's our class beauty, who dresses so trim and neat, And Mary Mellott is a pal to her, with a smile just as sweet. Now Ralph is a football star, and Morris is very near it, And when a score is to be made, these boys are there to do it, There's Laura whose eyes are deepest brown, and Kathryn's eyes are blue, These Pals are fine in basket ball, I agree--do you? Eleanore's a studious person, with hair of raven hue, And Hazel is so peppy, and full of talk clear through, Skinnny's our basket ball manager, and Earl's a pretty good scout, In work or play, whate're it is, these boys will help us out. Bob Delo's a comical guy, while quiet Orlo is, Once they start to do a thing, they get right down to bizz, There's Mary Ellene, our blue eyed blonde, who fills us all with cheer, And Howard the President of the class, his duty he does not fear. All thru the long days we have toiled, Many books and desks we have soiled, In our long march to gain an education How we have struggled for those high marks of elation. Our books that deal with forgotten lore, These we have studied o'er and o'er. We have studied till nothing seems new. But we must be ready to fight life's battle thru, For now our schooldays are over, life is but commencing, With stern Fate and good Fortune around us defencing With our enthusiasm we may see the facts, Where one is gifted another lacks. And as the high school life we leave, Some feel as a prisoner with reprieve, While others are ready to enter life, Willing to stand under grinding strife. So let's' be cheerful with all we meet For life is something we can't repeat. -Mary Ellen Gallant -Ralph Switzer 1928

H'-'-'-'H'-'-'-' '-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'----'-'- THE DIXIE .-.-- -.--.P.'----a--------'-L JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Freshmen? Yes that's what we were but you could never tell it by looking at us now. We entered A. T. H. S., in the fall of 1925, as one of the largest classes that had ever entered the High School. At the beginning of the year we presented our class play Aunt Billie from Texas. We were well repre- sented in Athletics and other activities of the school. Although we did not receive any firsts in the Inter Class Contest we did not feel that we had entirely lost for we felt that this year was just a stepping stone to success. The year passed very swiftly and we were soon shedding our coats of green and then we became gay young Sophomores. Although- in 1926 our class had decreased somewhat in number we were still very prominent in the activities of the school. Several members of the class had principle parts in the High School Operetta. We displayed our talent in the dramatic field by presenting our class play An Old Fashioned Mother. This year we were more successful in the Inter Class Contest. Dorotha Brinkman Won first on her vocal solo in the Inter- Class Contest and third in the county contest. And then the last day of school we were Jolly J uniorsn. In September 1927 we came to school with a resolution to live up to our motto Aim High. This seemed to give us a new inspiration. When the football season opened eight of our boys entered the field. In Decem- ber we presented our class play The Path Across The Hills, which showed that our class was well represented in the dramatic circle. Then came the Basket Ball season and Oh! My! look at the Juniors. Vera Powell, Dorothy Yeager, Leora Dilts, Florence Cline, and Hazel Deter were the Junior girls that received first team letters. The boys that received first team letters were Efil Copeland, David Neal, Harold Kuhl- man, Robert Keelor, Albert Nebergall, and Leonard Silveus. Our class also won the Basket Ball tournament which showed that A. T. H. S. will be heard of again next year in Basket Ball. We are now looking forward to the inter-class contest with the hope of winning. We have one more short year until we will extend an affectionate farewell to A. T. H. S. and pass on to higher institutions of learning. -Vesta Lindenman --1928t--
