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--

THE DIXIE .-.-.-. f '-, SOPHOMORE HISTORY In September of 1926, thirty-two Freshies walked into the gates of Van Buren High School. Although the class has dwindled down to twenty-two, we are still an ambitious group, striving for the higher places. The football season opened last fall with seven members of our class ready for training: Daniel Cornwell, Earl Neuman, John Brandeberry, Herald Neeland, George Pearson, Charles Swab, and Everett Fagan. During the basketball season our class had two girls who played their best in the county games: Lois Reamsnyder and Rosanna Huntington. A few of the class are now training for track. Our class play entitled The Touchdown was very much liked by every one, which proves that we will be in the dramatic circle in the future. The class is well represented in the Glee Club, and we are proud to say that one member of the male quartet comes from our class. Two members of our class have main parts in the coming operetta. Others are in the chorus. March twenty-eighth Lloyd Chavis who represented A. T. H. S. in the Instrumental Contest at Mt. Cory received second place with his selection on the saxaphone. We have a few members participating in the inter-class contest. Ada Williams has written the short story. Last year she tied for the first place, and we hope she will win it this year. The other contestants are: Earl Neuman, Orationg Lois Reamsnyder, Readingg Rosanna Hunt- ington, Piano Solo. All are working hard. There are only two short terms before us yet in which we will do our best to live up ti our motto EXcelsior. -Flossie Norris ---1928l-
