No. 5 THE ATHENIAN Vol. IX. Athens, Pa., If)If) PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Now, as we are each preparing to leave high school, we realize how close are the ties which have united us during our high school days. Four years we have worked together and during this time friendships have been made which will last through all our lives. This has been brought about by a common interest as students and as members of a class of the high school. We have had a chance during these four years to study each fellow-student and thus there is a much better understanding than between the average friends. This common understanding seems to bring harmony, for there has been a remarkable harmony in all our class affairs. We have co-operated to make everything successful. Whatever it was, from the play to the bake sales, there has been the same spirit of co-operation. Our regard for the high school as a whole is very strong. When we have had games of football with other schools and have come out and yelled the high school yells and urged on our boys, we have realized how much the Blue and White means to us. The building may burn, we may be in churches, in the domestic science rooms, or in the new school building—wherever we are. there is that same regard for our alma mater. The teachers also come in for their share of respect and friendship. At first we looked upon them as almost unapproachable, but they have become more like comrades and fellow-associates and not at all so far removed as at first we imagined. And all these ties which have become so strongly woven during high school will bring us many pleasant times and happy remembrances. I know that as we leave school and make new friends, we shall always look back to those good old days we spent in A. H. S. and we will find that old friends are best. And so with these last and fond thoughts, we bid our high school adieu. BERT H. SQUIRES, '19. OUR ABSENT FRIENDS If the present members of the Class of 1919 will but look back over the four years during which they have been students here, they cannot help but realize that many thanks are due to the teachers who are no longer here, but have gone to some other schools. Where would we be without Miss Raymond’s fine instrutcion in algebra? And Miss Ikler’s instruction in ancient history? We hope that they will accept the best wishes of the Senior Class. And we will always remember Miss Ewing, who taught us for three years the wonderful construction of Caesar. We never could have passed through Burke and Macbeth without first having training under Miss Jenkins. And to Mrs. Loomis (Miss Hauber) we owe thanks for her instruction in music and drawing. During our second year in high school, Mr. Borgas instructed us in mathematics, and Mr. Myer in the sciences. And we must not forget Miss Royer, who taught us English literature during the month Miss Curtiss was unable to teach. As for our present teachers. Mr. Yoder, Miss Curtiss. Mrs. Bowen, Mr. Bowen, Miss Jordan, Miss Hahn, Miss Tuthill. Mrs. Farmer and Mrs. Page, they must certainly realize that we give them our deepest gratitude. 7 When we entered Athens High School we were a very large class, but we have gradually lost members until now we number only half of those who started the course with us. The rest have left, for some reason that was unavoidable, but we sincerely wish that they could graduate with us. And we will not forget those of our former members who are now, or have been in the service of their country. They fought that we might remain safely in old A. H. S. Some of these boys are now mustered out of the service, their work is well done, and we wish that they could be with us when we leave school. Among the stars on our service Hag will be found the names of four of the former members of the Class of 1919: Corydon Decker, Wayne Howland, Harlan MacMorran and DeWitt Myers. Last of all, there are two of our members who have left our school with their work unfinished, their course incomplete. These two are Annamae Williams and Sears Curtiss. They have passed on to a far greater and more glorious school, there to finish their course. And we feel that they will be with us at our graduation, in our memory of our association with them. And now, as we leave our school, we bid these absent teachers and members goodbye. HALLOCK F. RAUP, ’19. HISTORY OF THK C LASS OF 1� H The class of 1919 on entering high school in 1915, numbered 33 boys and 33 girls. During the year some left school and another boy entered in May. At the beginning of the second year there were but 54 of the original 66 left, but two boys from Ulster entered, making a total of 56. Before the beginning of the third year it became necessary for some to leave school and one girl went to Geneva, where she will graduate this year. When we began our Junior year there were 28 of the original 66 and three had dropped back from the class of 18, and two who came from other schools, making in all 33 in the Junior class. There are 29 who will graduate with the class of ’19. Two of these came from Smithfield High School and two from Ulster High School. One is from the class of ’18 and two entered during the first and second years. During the second year we had the sad misfortune of losing through death one of our classmates, Sears Curtiss, and in the third year another member, Annamae Williams. Our class teacher for the first two years was Miss Ewing, and for the third year. Miss Curtiss, and Mrs. Bowen and Mr. Bowen for this year. These teachers have always done the best for us that could be done and their efforts are appreciated very much by the students. The first year we were not allowed to organize but we had two Athenian officers. John Weller and Hilda Morey. The second year we were organized and elected as president Paul Stevens; vice president, Harold Tonkin; secretary, Margaret Smith; treasurer. Miss Ewing; class editors, Genevieve Brown and Wayne Howland. In the Junior year our officers were: President, Harold Tonkin; vice president, John Weller; secretary, Muriel Carner; treasurer, Miss Ewing; editors, Emily Tozer and Wayne Howland. During the Senior year we have had as officers: President, Bert Squires; vice president, Genevieve Brown; secretary, Hilda Morey; treasurer. Mrs. Bowen. When we were first year students we decided to buy a picture for the high 8 school and we had two class parties in the old domestic science rooms to earn money for it. Early in the second year we had a party to raise money to frame the picture, but we found afterward that this would not have been necessary, because February fifteenth, before the picture was framed, our high school burned and our picture with it. We did not lose any time on account of the burning of the building, but went to the Methodist and Presbyterian churches until the Annex could be made habitable. We are now nicely settled in the new building and think it is a great improvement over the old one. When we were Juniors, the Seniors gave a fair and we rented a corner of the gymnasium and built a booth, where we sold punch. Near the close of school we had Field Day on the Fair grounds and some members of the class took part in the races and the games. Commencement week the Juniors and the Faculty served a banquet to the Seniors. The Senior year has been the most active of all. Near Christmas time we sold Christmas seals. We have had two bake sales, two class parties and an ice cream social. We gave our play, The Bachelor’s Romance, on May 26th, and the week of the second of June, the class went to Washington. As we draw near the close of our school days we realize more and more that they are the happiest days of our lives. MARIE SALSMAN, ’19. HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT In the high school we have a good chance to see how much depends on spirit. This has been shown in athletics, Red Cross work and class competition. In athletics, spirit is not only shown by the players but also by those on the sidelines who cheer their heroes on and encourage them. This has been proved to be true by the games which have been held in our own home town. The students always work enthusiastically in selling tickets and practicing the cheers. The high school is always well represented at the games of the students. The students of the high school formed auxiliaries in which many take an active part. There are twelve groups of girls, including two groups of eighth grade girls and 5 groups of boys. Each group is made up of ten students. This makes a splendid showing of having one hundred and seventy students in the organization. They do a great deal in aiding the local Red Cross. They sent about twenty-four hundred pounds of clothing to the Belgians. They also aided in other ways. Spirit is shown by the students in the different classes in various ways. Basketball games were held in the gymnasium and many students were present. This shows that they took great interest in the welfare of the high school. A half day holiday is promised to the class having the highest percentage of attendance. The percentage is posted on the blackboard in each room showing which class is ahead. Every class is very anxious for the time to come when the percentage is posted in order to see how they stand. Thus we see the spirit prevailing and that has prevailed for the past year. It is this spirit which has tended to give the high school its present standard. It is up to the remaining students to keep this good name up by still pursuing activities that have been furthered this year. 9 RAYMOND F. MARVIN, 19. A POOR RKVKNGK ‘ Humph, it's even worse than you said. I read a story the other day that 1 thought was impossible, but this fairly runs rings around that. 1 have never written a story, but I’ll bet that I could write a better one that that,” and here Kenneth Rogeis handed me the magazine which 1 had persuaded him to take long enough to read a short story in it. “That's what—. That’s easy enough to say, but you’ll tind it a different matter when it comes to actually writing a story. I’ll admit that it is some story, but you or 1 or anyone else around here can’t do any better. ou might laugh at it, but, just the same, 1 should like to see you write a better one. He is getting the money lor writing it, and that’s the main point.” Oh, 1 QianT mean that it is easy to write a story. 1 don’t suppose it is. And 1 didn’t mean that I could sit down right now and write a story that would draw a whole lot more money than that, but I’ll bet that I could write a story that to the average person would not seem half as silly as that.” “Well, what’s the difference? If you think that you can write a story so much better than that, then go to it. About the time you have written a few pages you will begin to change your mind.” Up to this time, I had considered my speeches as nice bits of diplomacy, but now 1 began to realize that perhaps 1 was overdoing it, and might fail to have the desired effect, so 1 added, “Still, you’ll be the gainer if you succeed, while you won’t lose anything if you fail. Why not try to write a short story, and then send it to some publisher? I’ll try to write one if you will. Cooper wrote his first story as a result of a wager and perhaps it may happen that way with you.” During the next few weeks 1 felt as 1 think Napoleon must have felt while planning one of his campaigns, namely, only a kind of pity for an opponent whom you feel would be surely crushed. Several times within the next few days. 1 antagonized Kenneth by my willingness to offer advice, which he appeared to be unwilling to accept, whereat I smiled to myself, and resolved to leave him to the fate which was fast approaching him. a resolution that was invariably broken the next day. I knew something of typewriting, having practiced on an old relic in our attic, and later on the one in my father’s oilice. 1 offered to do the typewriting for him, but he showed a natural timidity in letting me pry into his story before he had received an answer from the editor of the magazine to whom we had decided to send our stories. I was deeply hurt at this reluctance to show his story to me. deeming it no inconsiderable afTront, but 1 finally agreed that perhaps it was best, as 1 would, at the same time, be forced to exhibit my own work. After the stories had been sent to the magazine (or at least the story) 1 took it upon myself to make daily inquiry of Kenneth as to whether he had received an answer, and at last my patience was rewarded. One evening, while on my way home, I met him as he was leaving the house. For an instant, as 1 examined his face for the chagrin that I expected to see there. I experienced some misgivings, but 1 immediately comforted myself with the knowledge that it was impossible that his story be accepted, though I didn’t know why I considered it so. “You promised me that you would let me see your story before I saw your answer. That was part of our agreement. Well, here is my story; let me see yours.” He had evidently forgotten the agreement, for he looked somewhat surprised, but informed me that the carbon copy of the story was in the house. At these 10 words misgivings of the same nature as before appeared, but somewhat stronger, and more deepseated, giving rise to the supposition that they had been steadily growing since I had first seen him that evening. As I am sure that you would like to read his story also. I will proceed to set it into print: “I’ll give you fifty dollars if you’ll loose that race. No? One hundred. Stop and think it over. It isn’t very often that a person gets a chance to win a hundred dollars by losing a race. Just sprain your ankle or postpone your sprint at the finish too long and the hundred is yours. Refuse to enter and I will make it two hundred. Well, what do you say?’ The speaker, a short, slender man. dressed in clothes notable mainly for their lack of taste, pulled out a roll of bills and fingered them enticingly. “I say no! I wouldn’t accept if it were twenty thousand instead of two hundred. No half respectable person would think of taking your money. The chances are. at that, that you blackjacked someone to get it. or else robbed a bank. You’d better get out while the getting’s good. You wont get off so easy next time.’’ “That’s the boy, keep it up. I don’t blame you for wanting all you can get. I’ll make it three hundred. No? Four hundred. I hadn’t intended to offer you so much, and I wouldn’t anyone else, but you’re sure to win first place, and— here he broke off as he preceived his companion quite evidently preparing to use force in his ejection from the room, but as he disappeared through the door, he went on, “I’ll make it five hundred. If you decide to accept the offer let me know.’’ Paul Leonard, best known for his athletic abilities, particularly in the crosscountry races, stood watching the gambler as he ran down the stairs, then he sat down on the edge of the bed to think it all over. He had felt that either he would have to drive the gambler from the room or else be compelled to accept the money. He could undeniably make good use of the money, but here his thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of two more visitors. A few months before. Leonard, with the two young men who had just entered. Donald Perry and James Burns, had formed a union for the purpose of promoting their mutual interests. They realized that with the combined energies of the three and by joining their capital, they would have a much better chance of becoming successful in business than they would otherwise. They had evidently come this evening with a definite intention, for they immediately got down to business. “Leonard, you have probably heard that Smith is going to leave for the West. That’s what we have come down here for. He runs the only electrical shop of its kind in town, and Don says that he will sell to us for $2500 cash. Between the three of us. we have about $1400 on hand, and I know where we can raise another thousand. That would leave us a hundred dollars short. With a little energy and enterprise on our part. I am sure we can make our first venture a success and Don says that he can run the shop until we know something more about it.” “It will probably take several hundred dollars for improvements and for running expenses, which you don’t want to forget. “We can see about that after we have decided whether we shall take the shop or not. It s up to you. You say no. why we’ll give it up. Mr. Smith wants his answer by Wednesday night, so that I think we can have $2500 ready by then. ' “I for one. think that it’s too good to be true. It’s just the chance we have been waiting for. What did Mr. Edwards say? I suppose that it was from him that you borrowed the money.” “He thinks that it is very possible, and that the three of us ought to put it through in great shape. Well. I guess that I’ll have to be going. Don will answer 11 all your questions. Oh, by the way, I suppose you heard about the robbery. I wish that we had that reward. It would provide just the extra amount that we need.” No. I can’t say as I’ve heard about any robbery. Why?” Robbers entered four or five houses in Greenwich and made off with nearly $30,000 in money and jewels, mostly jewels. I hear that the Lohman house was hit pretty hard, for the crooks got off with plate and jewels worth almost $25,000. Well, so long. I’ll see you in the morning.” It was not until several days later that Leonard had any occasion to remember what had been said about the robbery. While passing through a hotel lobby, he glanced around quickly upon hearing his name spoken, and was surprised to see Madison (he had learned the name of the gambler in the meantime) talking with a person whom he did not know. As he looked, he saw Madison take out his watch and glance at it. Leonard hesitated, then walked slowly past the pair, watching the two closely as he passed. A few days later some of his friends might have been surprised to see Leonard enter the police station, and judging from the looks of the police lieutenant as he listened to his story, he found it very interesting. The day of the race dawned bright and clear, which soon changed to a cloudy sky, with but a slight wind, promising an ideal day for the racing. The start and finish were both to be at the Fair Grounds, on the outskirts of the city. A fairly large crowd had collected. Faint cheering was heard as the first group of runners left the mark, and started for the gate, which increased in volume as each group left, the last group, to which Leonard belonged receiving quite a send-off. The course selected for the run was six and a half miles long, inclusive of the final trip around the dirt race track. Quite a bit of excitement was felt throughout the waiting throng, as the first three runners, collected in a bunch, appeared over the edge of the hill just beyond the Fair Grounds. One of the runners was plainly out of the going, for he was forced to drop back as the other two increased their pace as they came within sight of the finishing line. The applause deepened into a roar as the two runners passed the stand, but was partly silenced when it was seen that Leonard’s opponent was already slowly dropping back, lacking the reserve to hold the pace that was being set. By the time the finish line was reached, the lead had been increased to fifty yards, and one more cup was added to an already large collection. That evening, at Leonard’s request, another council was held. By his very secrecy the others could guess that he had something important to tell them, though they could not guess what. Hail! The conquering hero comes,” shouted Fred, as Paul appeared in the doorway. Shut up! I've got something important to tell you. I have the rest of that $2500, and several hundred more besides that.” What! Where’d you get it?” You remember telling me about several houses in Greenwich being robbed. Well, just before you came into the room the thief tried to bribe me to loose the race today. Immediately after the race this afternoon, while he was collecting the money he won on his bets, he was arrested. His room was searched while the race was on. and all the stuff stolen was found in his room.” Yes, but how do you come in? You said that you will get the reward.” Two or three days after you told me about the robbery, I saw him in the hotel. Just as I went past, he pulled out a watch that I thought was rather high- 12 priced for him to wear, and when I saw that platinum ring that he had on, I went to police headquarters and received a description of the missing jewelry.” What did the editor say when he sent this back? He said it was fairly good for a beginner (though I don’t see how he knew I was a beginner, because I didn’t tell him), and then he went on to enumerate some of the most prominent faults in it. I received twenty dollars for it though. Twenty dollars! I’ll bet he does a lot of rejuvenating on that piece before it is published. Perhaps I can’t write a story, but I can at least criticize one. Why you’ve made the description of the race so plain that I can almost see them coming in. I can see them in my mind with their tongues hanging out. and rolling from side to side as if every breath was going to be their last. Honest, that’s the deadest race I ever saw, read or heard tell of. Still, if everyone’s first story is like that, there is one recompense. You can’t be a beginner forever. I don’t see anything to laugh about. If you think it’s so funny—” Funny! That’s what’s the matter. It’s a tragedy. It makes me weep every time I think of it. But I have a confession to make. I read that piece in .the paper the same as you did. I thought that I could write a better one; so I wrote my story and sent it to the publisher. I got it back in about four days. That editor didn’t say a word of criticism about the story, but he couldn’t have said more if he had filled a dictionary. I thought it would be a joke if you fell for it the same as I did. so I brought it to you. You know the rest. I promise now that I’ll ftever try to write another story. WILLIAM GEROULD, 19. REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS AUXILIARY WORK The members of the High School Girls’ Auxiliary are justly proud of the work which has been accomplished this year. It is gratifying to note the increase both in numbers Of members and in the amount of work done. In October, 1917, we organized an auxiliary to do our part in helping Amerisa win the war. The end of this school year finds this auxiliary not only aiding French war orphans and doing similiar duties made necessary by the recent war. but also, the High School Girls' Auxiliary is found to be a great help in all high school affairs. Now that war duties are not so pressing, we intend to do more for the high school itself. The Auxiliary has been divided into twelve groups of ten girls each. Groups eleven and twelve, however, are composed of eighth grade girls who will be accustomed to this organization and its work when they enter the high school next year. We have earned $255.00. A large part of this sum has been earned by the weekly bake sales held during the fall and winter. Four groups have been known as cooking groups and have cooked and served hot lunches to high school students living out of town. By doing this, the funds of the Auxiliary increased and the noon hour has been made more pleasant for many students. Group two has been particularly busy. They have given a New Years’ dinner and recital. Group four, was very successful in a party given last winter. The Auxiliary has spent $188.00. We have given $55 for the United War Workers’ Fund. $50 for the support of two French orphans besides quite a sum for local and high school work. Next year we hope to have the girls of the present Senior Class form an Alumni Group. We are very happy at our fine success this year and have great plans for the Auxiliary of the future that it may go on and on. GENEVIEVE BROWN, ’19. 13 ACTIVITIES OP SENIOR GIRLS The girls of the high school always do a great deal in keeping up the spirit and standards of the school, and the present Senior girls have done their part. In their first year they were active n basketball and the Girls’ Chorus. There was no regular team of basketball as it was necessary to practice in the old skating rink. Nevertheless the girls made a good showing by coming to practice. They proved to be good material and of use later on in athletics. The Girls’ Chorus won fame for themselves then, and many of the girls of our class entered in. It Is needless to say all could not join, but those who did. showed their musical talent. The chorus was kept alive and very much appreciated during our four years in high school. We began our second year by again entering into basketball and with more spirit than the year before. Having the gymnasium to play in. a regular team was formed, and here the girls of our class “shone.” Several were on the team and at different times others acted as substitutes. The Girls’ Chorus again appeared to take its place and appeared at many events with the girls of our class always doing their best. The girls revived the Philomathean Society which had been dropped for several years. In this we enjoyed ourselves greatly and also profited by it. A program was arranged for each Friday afternoon and each had to take part at some time. We took up a study of certain artists and musicians and also entered into debating. I see’ no reason why this society has been dropped, and am sure if the girls reorganized it. they would not only profit but enjoy it greatly. So here’s hoping it will again appear as an active society in our school. In our Junior year a great deal of our time was spent in doing war work. To do this more easily, we divided into groups of ten and called ourselves the High School Auxiliary. In this we made sweaters for soldiers and layettes for the Belgian children. The money which we raised amounted to fifty dollars, which we used this year in adopting a French war orphan. We entered on our last year of school with a desire to do more than in the other years, and in this I think we won. We did a great deal in raising money which will be used for a good purpose. We also desire to do our best when we become Alumni of this school, and be an honor and of use to our community. MARIAN SHERMAN. ’19. EFFECTIVE WAVS OF EARNING MONEY In the last two years many demands for time, money and service have made it necessary for the high school to get busy and earn some money. The students have felt it their duty to earn all the money that they could to help win the w'orld war. One good way to earn money is to have a home bakery. In order not to have this home bakery a burden, each girl should bake every other week, taking out the cost of the materials. Another way is for the girls to serve lunches. Soups may be made easily and cheaply. Macaroni with cheese tastes good with a cold lunch. Potatoes and gravy draw the pupils to the kitchen. Along in the spring, on warm days, ices go well, especially after school at night. Girls, try making doughnuts or cookies and see how long they will last after the boys have found them. Candy can also be made and sold without difficulty. The boys can earn money in some of these ways as well as the girls. All of the students can sell extra copies of The Athenian, Christmas seals, or may have class parties. All these ways that have been mentioned have been tried and found to be very effective in earning money. GRACE SMITH, ’19. 14 THK HIGH S('HOOL BOVS’ AUXILIARY Although the High School Boys’ Auxiliary has not been as active this year as the High School Girls’ Auxiliary, it has raised proportionately about as much money for war work. They subscribed and paid $50.00. The money was raised through the five different groups into which the Auxiliary is divided. Each group had food or candy sales during the year and raised its allotment independently of the other groups. Although the war is over there is as great need of service as before. There is so much to be done in relief and reconstruction work in Europe that we should not consider slackening our efforts in aiding the suffering multitudes of the war-ruined lands. In fact, the whole world must be rebuilt on a firm and substantial basis. The Auxiliary has had photographs enlarged of Floyd E. Arnold and Howard A. Delaney. These, with a suitable inscription, will be placed on the walls of the high school auditorium as a token of the appreciation of the Athens High School for those who were willing to give up all that we might enjoy the benefits of peace. Here’s hoping that the boys of next year’s high school will stick to their auxiliary work and make it as influential and as thoroughly efficient an organization as the High School Girls’ Auxiliary. HOBEHT HORTON, ’19. SHOULD IMMIGRATION TO THK UNITED STATES BK PROHIBITED FOB FIVE YEARS? The late European War has brought to the surface many old questions and chief among these is the problem of immigration. Yearly there have been throngs of people from all the nations of Europe and Asia pouring into this country. Do these people tend to make conditions better in this country or worse? One thing that we do know is that the greater majority of foreigners lower the sandard of wages in this country. They do not spend so much as the American born citizen and so are able to work for less money. Would not the lowering of wages be a dangerous move at this time when prices of food and other necessities of life are so high and men have been used to such high wages during the last few years? Such moves cause panics, and panics are what we are trying to avoid. Therefore, would it not be well to take some means of prevention? In five years the country would be normal in prices and wages. Would it not be a wise preventive to restrict all immigration to the United States for a period of five years? Our soldiers are beginning to arrive home. They must have something to do. and most of them will take their pre-war jobs back. This will necessitate that the person who held the job for the period of the war should find work elsewhere. If a throng of foreigners are pouring into this country they. too. must have work. While jobs are scarce enough now. they will be even more so if immigration is not restricted and we will have a class of men who. if they do not find work, will find some evil to do and the result would be a large class of criminals. The war had hardly ended when the work of reconstruction began. Cities and villages are being built over again. Men are needed for various tasks and those already over there are best fitted for the work, for they know the country better. If immigration to this country were restricted for a period of five years, these men would stay at home and go on with the work of reconstruction, who otherwise would come to this country, inexperienced and penniless, to be dependent upon our people. 15 During the period of the war our people have been robbed of their food to feed the starving nations of Europe. That was no more than right. But now. after the war. these foreigners will flock to this country after being so hard pressed during the war. But they are needed in their own country to till the soil and feed themselves. This is what most of them will do if they are shut out from this country and food will again be normal in this country. In Russia and in other nations of Europe there are a class of people who are always looking for trouble and are never satisfied. The Bolsheviks are a good example of this class. Their aim seems to be to make trouble. Some of them have invaded this country, causing strikes and political unrest among the working classes. If an immigration law were passed restricting all immigration to this country for a period of five years, this class of men would be shut out until the time when the country is normal again. For these reasons, as an after-war measure, as a preventive against civil strife, I am convinced that a law should be passed to restrict all immigration to this country for a period of five years. HINTON COOK, ’19. NEGATIVE Such a law as proposed by my opponent is not necessary, first because of the labor conditions at the present time. Wages are exceptionally high, but not high compared with the high cost of living. Each day the papers bring the glad news of thousands of our boys returning from their adventurous days of trench life to their positions which they held before the war. Thus there will be little demand for foreign labor and consequently the tide will be checked, if not stopped, until again the demand for more labor arises. Mr. Howe, who has studied immigration from every viewpoint, states that opportunities in their own country equal those to be found in the United States and prevent most European immigrants from feeling the impulse of immigration. Men and women do not tear themselves up by the roots, take ship and begin life anew amidst unfamiliar surroundings in communities of which they do not even know the language in the mere spirit of adventure. They submit to terror and discomfort, yielding to the hope of immigration only because they find conditions at home unfavorable. If home conditions become attractive, even if they become endurable, few will leave familiar conditions for those to be found here. It was the spirit of immigration that brought the United States into existence and has so well developed it into such a prosperous nation. Still at the present time the labor force depends somewhat upon the number of immigrants. Without immigration the United States would be more than twenty years later in progress than she is today. Such a law would be offensive to other countries and thereby would be a source of renewed trouble and a danger which should be avoided at the present day. Under the present peace terms all nations are to be at peace with one another. Why exclude from your presence those whom interest in the United States has drawn from foreign countries? Considering reasons above stated there is no firm ground upon which such a, law might be laid. GEORGE BARTON, '19. 16 AD VICK TO THE JUNIORS Juniors, we have watched through your high school course and have seen your raults and of course have noticed that there is a chance for impro.emeiu. Now is is time lor you to enter into your Senior year. You will be looked upon as a leaner, and you are to set an example for the lower classes. Do you tnink tnat you are capable of doing this? Now it is time to consider upon some sort of advice 11 om an older class. We know that you are all stars along athletic lines, but get some life into your class and work together. It seems that every one works for himself. For instance look at your class party in the gymnasium; not half of your class mem-neis there. You will have to get more spirit than that before entering into the realm of Seniorship. To President Leon Cooper, we advise to pay more attention to class matters and not so much to other school affairs. As for cleverness some of you get the “boobie” prize. How about the night that some of you tried to get away with the punch bowl downstairs? Why don’t you pay more attention to the lower classes and get them interested in school affairs? Follow Mr. Hunt’s example. Mr. Blostein is always displaying such a knowledge of almost everything in general that you can hardly walk through the halls without hearing him. It would be a good idea to start in business. Why don’t you set up an ice cream stand? You could surely induce your customers to buy them. Then if you needed an office force you could And several among the Juniors who have had experience in that work. Why, there would be Kathryn Birney; she is certainly well qualified. There is a rumor going about that Frederick Root is going to start a theatre down in Milan. Pretty good idea, there would be Rheta for pianist! 1 have noticed that some of your class members act as if they were holding a “Quaker meeting.’’ Look at Dorothy Stevens and Kathryn McClarty, always so quiet, but when playing the piano they make more noise than a menagerie. Also Mr. Casper, before thinking of being a Senior, should learn to light a Bunsen burner. How about it? Mr. Catlin, don’t spoil your splendid studious course by staying up in Sayre too late nights. Isn’t Athens good enough for you? And there is Letha Kinner and Arleigh Wiggins, two of the most popular young ladies of the Junior class. How could any one help but to agree to this? But why don’t you forget about it? Mr. Lurcock, they say is going to write a French dictionery. That would be fine. I am certain that you could get ample assistance in the Junior class or even you might find help in the Second Year class! Why don’t you take political economy, Mr. Miller, and devise some sort of a carrier for your bicycle, so that you can bring Mary Moore back and forth from school. There’s your chance, “Jim.’’ It is believed by some that you come back as an animal or some kind of an insect. If this is the case, why don’t you find out what Fred Kosel came back as. There is Pauline Lynch, who appears to be a very brilliant investigator, she might be able to tell you. Well, I guess that we will have to compliment Essie and Ruth Dibble on their cooking, noticing that they spend considerable time in the kitchen. Keep it up, girls, more than one girls has made world-wide fame for her wonderful doughnuts that do not make their consumers sick for eating the hole, or even you might win 17 a prize on some new recipe that our great-grandmothers taught our mothers! And there is Miss Havens, who now appears to be considerably happier than a short time ago. A good way to be. but why so sudden? It will be too bad for Miss Dettra when some of her friends graduate this year. I suppose it will cause her great pain (Payne). As I look over at some of the Juniors I often wonder when they will wake up. Look at Leon Rogers, always dreaming of his Lady Sickie (Psyche). Sleep on. fair one, you will soon overtake her in the First Year class. I hear that Miss Thorp is getting to be a well known boxer. It is a good thing to be able to defend one’s self, but it is a bad idea to practice it on a poor innocent person in a public place. I have often wondered what Kathryn Russell will do when her brother, or perhaps some of her other friends in the Senior class, have gone and she will have to come to school alone. That would be a shame. Why don’t you dig up acquaintances in some of the classes? Maybe some of them own Fords. That would seem like old times. But, my dear little Juniors, don’t fall into tears. Nor suppose that I should rank you with Freshmen as peers. Though you may seem hopeless, I don’t mean to say That you can’t be Seniors like we are some day. It is almost the end of your Junior year now. Each one will be a Senior next year, I allow. If you don’t often make your average the best. It’s because you don’t like your name higher than the rest. T’would be well if your members should all make a trial; Follow the advice of the Seniors, you’ll find it worth while. LEIGH CRAWFORD, ’19. THE JUNIOR RESPONSE i Perhaps never before in the history of Athens High School has there been such a strong bond of brotherly friendship between two classes as between the classes of 1919 and 1920. And why shouldn’t there be? When we first entered high school, you were so concerned in making us full-fledged members that you even went so far as to provide a special reception, somewhat embarassing it is true, but yet indicative of a tender interest in our welfare. The burning of the high school building strengthened this friendship, as we occupied the same room in the Presbyterian Church. The next year was the only time we were not close together, but our friendship did not lessen. Throughout our high school years you have proved faithful and sincere friends and your departure will be keenly felt. Knowing your advice to be invaluable (for doubtless you yourselves have observed it) we shall endeavor to follow it most carefully, in order that we may prove ourselves worthy followers of the work you have carried out so well. Your advice rather leans to our faults, but it must not be forgotten that the class of 1920 is worthy of praise. The class of 1919 is most ably represented in every phase of high school activities. The Senior girls were an important factor in keeping up the reputation of the class. They figured prominently in war work, sports, high school meetings and clubs, and most of all they backed the high school teams with enthusiasm. We shall briefly run over their accomplishments. In our war work all the girls played an important part, but Genevieve Brown took the lead. Muriel Carner and Rheta Samson played basketball, while Rheta Samson. Thelma Brown and Marie Salsman bear off the honors in the oratorical field. Muriel Carner, Rheta Samson and Marie 18 Salsman have proved to the high school that they are skilled in music as well as in studies. The Senior boys have also covered themselves with glory. In football Walter Lunger. John Weller and Leigh Crawford helped to down our opponents and bring us the county championship. Leigh Crawford and Carlyle Griffith represented the class in baseball, while Carlyle Griffith. Robert Horton and John Weller played basketball. In high school meetings and debating Walter Lunger. Harold Tonkin and John Weller figured prominently. Hinton Cook. Hallock Raup and Everett Russell seemed to have a strong grip on journalism. Stanley Payne. Harold Tonkin and John Weller played in the high school orchestra. Well, in short, the class of 1919 can be proud of her record. Before you go out into the cruel world upon your own resources, we wish to bring before you some of your faults. Yes, you have faults even though you are a very remarkable class. There are certain members in your class who have a little too much dignity in their system and it is our belief that they would make their way better in the future if they would smile oftener. Again, there are members among your numbers who are too inquisitive. Remember the old adage, “Curiosity once killed a cat. ’ In the advice given to you by the class of 1918 they warned you not to let “the wool be pulled over your eyes” as was the case with your class rings and pins. We sincerely hope that you have earnestly endeavored to follow out this advice, for when you “rough it in the wide, wide world. ' we do not want to hear of your buying gold bricks. Think twice before you act. Though there are some individual faults, these three seem to be characteristic of your class and it is our wish that you will profit through our bringing them before your notice, in order that the narrow path of life be easier for you. Feeling that parting is unavoidable, we, the class of 1920, wish you one and all success in whatever line you decide to take up. Our parting words are: “Fear God and Take Your Own Part.” FRED G. KOSEL, 20. SYNOPSIS OF A BACHELOR'S ROMANCE Mr. David Holmes, a literary critic, is chosen to judge the stories in a ten thousand dollar prize contest. His ward.

They’re all smart an’ clever, tew. an’ they’ll all git along. Cuz they’ve bin taught at A. H. S. an’ simply can’t go wrong. Goodness knows they’ve hed their troubles all along ther way. Sumthin’ used ter turn up. most every other day; But four long years they’ve stuck, till naow they’ve come at last Ter be a smart, intellergint, an’ much-admired class. Thar’s Gennie Brown, fer instance, with her head so wondrous wise. She’s gone an’ beat the hull bunch—Solomon in disguise. Of course, there’s other bright ones. Bert Squires bein’ one; He’s bin a stiddy worker, an’ naow his battle’s won. And Hilda Morey is another who’s smart along with Bert, An’ ef Tonk ain’t mentioned here, her feelin's will be hurt. But Tonk’s sure worth yer notice—he’s the best in ther bunch When it comes ter big ideas, he’s right ready with a hunch. The most pop’lar girl among ’em is Bed Garner, ye jist bet. An’ when they’ve gone and left us. she’s one ye won’t forget. She’s big an’ strong an’ jolly, an’ yes. she’s clever, too; She kin sing an’ dance n everything, ain’t ye sorry thet she’s thru? I’m most forgittin’ Johnnie Weller, he’s a rippin good ole scout; Some day he’ll be presdunt of the National Bank, ’thout doubt. Thar’s another girl named Samson—there ain't much thet she can’t do; At speakin’ she’s a corker, an’ yes. at singin’ too. An’ when it comes ter cuttin’ up. Lee Crawford’s first in line; I never seen thet feller’s beat fer havin’ a good time. An’ say, ye all know Lunger, presdunt of A. H. S.; He’s goin’ ter buy Vail’s Clothin’ Store some happy day I guess. In talkin’ ’bout yer studious boys, Bill Gerould’s name ain’t dim. Some day he’ll up an’ show us whut persistence done fer him. An’ Bob Horton is another who’s made hard study pay. An’ prob’ly we’ll hear more of him. as well as Bill, some day. An’ then there is some others who belong in this, Stanley Payne an’ Marg’ret Smith shud never be forgot, Fer their stiddy, earnest strivin’ has brought to them success. An’ we proudly say thet both of ’em is credits to A. H. S. Then thar’s a couple fellers—products of South Hill. They used ter come in Brinky’s Ford, an’ I guess they do it still; Everett Russell’s one of ’em. an’ the other is Fay Brink, They both are popular young men. good farmers too. I think. Thar’s a little girl named Salsman—gosh, she’s orful small. But Shorty’s real ambitious, so her size don’t count at all. Em’ly Tozer’s ez tall ez Marie is short, but she’s mighty glad o’ that. Cuz when it comes ter basketball she kin put the others fiat. Thar’s a couple other Smith’s (I’ve already mentioned one) — Freida comes from Smithfield. but Grace is local-born. Thar’s another girl among ’em who comes from Smithfield way. 29 Her name is Alice Lillian Phelps, ’an she’s quiet, by the way. But ye can’t say that fer most of this here lively Senior bunch Per instance, I never seen Tab Brown set still even once. Course ye’ve heard of Sherm (she kin swim, but she can’t float) She’s hed ter worry quite a lot. cuz Caesar got her goat. George Barton, too’s. hed some trouble (though Georgie’s sure courageous). I b’lieve ef Caesar’d stopped ter think, he’d tried ter be less famous. Ter my mind naow comes Hallock Kaup. a very busy feller. An’ Esther C. the English shark, thet’s hard to beat, I tell yer. I’ve most fergot ter tell ye 'bout the Griffith lad, He come up here from Ulster (b’lieve me he’s no cad); He’s alius up an’ ready when there’s sumpthin to be done. Besides he’s smart an’ clever, an’ jest chuch full of fun. An’ Wes Mills is another who’s admired by this bunch; When it comes ter big ideas, like Tonk. she has a hunch. Last of all these worthies is Marvin an’ Hinton Cook; I cud tell ye ’nufT about ’em ter fill a hull big book. But whut’s the use o’ botherin’, cuz someday you’ll know ’em well; They’ll prob’ly both be famous—let’s wait, cuz time will tell. An’ naow let’s leave this nifty bunch ez they depart today; We hope they’l shine like lightnin bugs ez they go on their way. THELMA BROWN, ’19. THE SENIOR CLASS MOTTO “Perserverance and Energy Conquer All Things.” This motto expresses the thought that has been before us throughout our high school career and it certainly has been a great help to us all along the way. When we have been discouraged and faint-hearted, it has been an inspiration leading us on to higher and better things. We are now leaving high school life forever. We are going out into the world to fight our battles alone. Naturally some things which we have learned in school will not remain in our memory, but undoubtedly the words of our class motto will always live in the heart of each of us. Would it not be a grand thing if each would take this motto to be his own personal foreword? ROBERT HORTON, 19. ENTERING A NEW SCHOOL Entering a new school is. in a way, the hardest part of a person’s education, especially for one who is inclined to be timid. There are larger classes and a greater number of students and teachers, all of which will be new to students entering. and it is always more or less hard to become accustomed to so many new conditions. They teach different subjects and teach them in a different way. The first question which arises in the mind of the new student is Where shall I go; and what shall I do?” If the student has a friend who can answer these questions, things will be much easier. But they soon become accustomed to the teachers and the students and the rules regulating the school. Then things will be easier and they will always be glad that they did not stop with the education afforded them by a shorter course. FREIDA SMITH. ’19. 30 THK SKA IN POETRY Poets have written about the sea in many different ways. Holmes, in The Chambered Nautilus, compares life to the sea because of its unrest. “Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!” In The Building of the Ship, Longfellow shows that life is like the sea. He compares the waves to the adversities one meets in life. Poe thought the sea lonely and dark. In The Haven, he speaks of “the nights’ Plutonian shore!” Holmes, too, looked upon the dark side of the sea. He speaks oi the “waste of ocean” and the “stormy sea.” Some writers have portrayed the darker side of the sea because they wished to compare it to the darker side of life. Alfred Noyes looked upon the sea as a mystery. In Forty Singing Seamen, he says: “There’s a magic in the distance, Where the sealine meets the sky.” In another place he compares the sea to Wonderland. Longfellow associates terror with mystery: “And the trembling maiden held her breath At the tales of that awful pitiless sea, With all its terror and mystery!” It is probably because no one can think of any greater means of separation, that the sea has been chosen by many writers to express separation and change. Emerson shows that one is not able to reach what he aspires to without first traversing an unnavigable sea: “An unnavigable sea washes with Silent waves between us and things We aim at and converse with.” In Meeting at Night and Parting at Morning. Browning uses the sea to express separation. Whittier, in the The Playmate, says: “And still the pines of Ramoth wood Are moaning like the sea— The moaning of a sea of change Between myself and thee!” Longfellow loooked upon the sea as both dividing and uniting mankind: “The dim, dark sea, so like unto death! That divides yet unites mankind!” Whitman emphasizes distance by the sea: “Blown from the eastern sea and blown from the western sea.” The sea has made beautiful settings for many of our best known narrative poems. Longfellow used it in Evangeline and The Courtship of Miles Standish. Coleridge, in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, gives a fine portrayal of sea life. Whittier believed that the sea. like the rest of nature, was a background or setting of a picture in which human beings were the principal actors. There are comparatively few writers who write of the sea for itself. Emerson and Byron are among these, but there is a great difference in the interpretation of the two poets. Emerson treats the sea for its beauty, freshness, purity and what it gives to humanity, both in worldly wealth and spiritual gifts. He shows the same regard for the healing and soothing quality of the sea as Bryant shows of nature in Thanatopsis: 31 • • • and she glides Into his darker musings with a mild And healing sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware.” Emerson’s words are: • • • and a medicine of men; Creating a vast sweet climate of my breath. Washing out harms and griefs from memory.” Byron shows the recklessness and power of the sea. He shows how everything else seems powerless and frail before the ruthlessness of the mighty waves. “Roll on. thou deep and dark blue ocean. - roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain; Man marks the earth with ruin, - his control Stops with theshore.” He shows how all else which surrounds or is near the sea will always remain the same; that no earthly power can change it. The sea has become an emblem of eternity. Tennyson writes: “Sunsea and evening star. And one clear call for me. And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea.” ESTHER CROMPTON. ’19.

Slater. Coach Bowen. Horton. Page Middle row—Montgomery. Rogers. McIntyre. Lunger, Weller. VanScoten, Lurcock Lower row—Caspar. Crawford, Cooper. Havens (Herein are set forth a few facts about one of the best teams of A. H. S. that ever carried A. H. S. colors upon the football gridiron). First we look upon our Captain. Walter Lunger, better known as “Walt,” who filled the position of left guard. He was a man through and through— a man that we could always depend upon to make a road through the line for the back field to follow. Probably some fine day we shall hear of him being captain of a college team. Leon Cooper was fullback and a modern Hercules, a lad with a winsome smile always urging them on. How the lines would waver and fall in retreat when he came through! Casper was right halfback, never saying anything about himself. Bob Slater played left halfback and left tackle. You have a good hard head Bob. and know how to use it. We hope you are in school next season. Our quarterback. Paul Havens, was always on the jump. When he wrapped his arms about the ball and started through the lines, it was difficult to find him until he had made us a good gain. Donald Lurcock, nicknamed “Snover” and Clarence Montgomery, better known 33 as “Monty held down the ends. Snover was one of the best tacklers on the team and could certainly pull them out of the air. Monty was a new recruit and by his playing this year great things are expected of him next year. Our tackles were Leon Rogers and Leigh Crawford. Rogers always kept his man guessing and knew the game from A to Z. He had the body-check down to perfection. Crawford or Crow.” played left halfback and right tackle. A man was never known to carry the ball through his position. After a few minutes’ play .they could see it was nearly useless when Crow was on the job. The last but not the least are John Weller and Wayne MacIntyre. Weller, our center, was a veteran and a star. But I suppose we must lose him this year. MacIntyre. our right guard, was a man of massive stature and composed a large stone in our stonewall of a line. Mr. Bowen was our coach and gave a great deal of time and energy to our cause. To him our thanks are due. for it was through his daily drilling and teaching that the team was built. RAYMOND CASPER. 20. VALUE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING When we first entered high school everything seemed strange to us and we did not know what we were supposed to do or where we were supposed to be. We looked up to the students of the higher classes and tried to follow the example they set for us. Now. that we have become Seniors and are looked up to by the other classes, we begin to realize the value of our high school training. At first we hardly knew how to study, but thanks to our teachers, we have learned. We often thought that we had too much work to do. but when we became Seniors we could look back and see how little we had to do, compared with what we have to do as Seniors. We wish we had studied harder during our first three years in high school. What we lacked most when we entered high school was concentration, but we have gradually gained some ground in this respect. Lastly. I wish to mention thoroughness. This is a quality that very few students obtain. If every student would be thorough in his or her work, what a school we would have! If we all make our work our business and strive to make each year our best we will get more out of our high school course. STANLEY PAYNE. 19. CORRECTION Owing to information coming after publishing the Army and Navy Number, we wish to make the following correction in the Roll of Honor: Instead of Captain Carl P. Holcomb, it should read Major Carl P. Holcomb. 34 l� KKSKXTATION Having known for some time the tendencies, likings and ambitions of the members of the class, to a certain extent, I will try to give presents accordingly. Mr. Crawford, I am giving you this horn the first thing so I will not forget you. Now Leigh. I hope you can play your own accompaniment while you ••Jazz. Yes, Miss Samson. I remember you have a liking for music. Now here is a very effective song, ‘‘One Fleeting Hour.’’ You know. Rheta, he may think it the last one and catch the next train for Athens. Mr. Cook, you understand that after this you will not have teachers to give you information; so here, Hinton, is a little dictionary in which you will find much information. Mr. Squires, I give unto you this memorandum book in which to keep your business engagements—only business and nothing else. Bert. Miss Freida Smith, here is something for your quieter hours. I know these peanuts are good for one’s nerves. Miss Salsman. here is something to give you a lift in life. Seeing you are so small, Marie. I give you this ladder. Grace, I thought sure you were going to be a nurse and now 1 understand you are going to teach school. Well, here is a whip, but please remember your own frolicsome school days and I think you will have the best luck. Miss Brown, 1 always knew you would be a school teacher. I thought at first that perhaps a whip would come in handy, but I changed my mind. I thought a pocketbook would be handy, as it is a necessity in that profession; so here it is. Genevieve. Say, Fay, here is that ‘‘left handed monkey wrench’’ you were looking for the time your “Lizzy” kicked off a tire. A very useful tool. Mr. Brink. Mr. Russell. I can not tell whether you will be a musician, a poet or a farmer; so. Everett, here is a horseshoe and wishing you good luck. Miss Tozer, we know your ability as an artist and know you can draw the most difficult object but this time I give you something easy to draw;here, Emily, is a cart. Mr. Payne, if you are going to be a farmer and need a horse “Eventually, why not now?” Stanley, I give you this horse. Mr. Tonkin. I understand you are going to be a doctor. I don’t know much about thj profession, but I imagine. Harold, that a corkscrew would be of use. so take it with you. Mr. Weller. I thought I would give you something that would come in handy, and knowing that some time you will be a cowboy. I give you this lasso. Mr. Gerould. I am sure you will be a draughtsman or an engineer, so I am giv- ing you also something useful. Bill, here it is. yardstick. Miss Phelps. I believe you will be a bachelor maid. I will give you this looking glass and you will always have company until it breaks. Mr. Marvin. I think some day you will be a great musician. I have heard you say that it was a misfortune to break a string. I don’t want anything to hinder your career; so here is a whole ball of string. Raymond Miss Smith, realizing you are a real dressmaker. I give you this package of needles. Now, Margaret, be careful of what kind of knots you make or you may not always be a dressmaker. Mr. Horton, if you are going to be a missionary, don't you think you had better take a souvenir of the high school with you? Robert, here is a piece of concrete which is characteristic of this school, stable and solid. 35 Mr. Barton, I think perhaps you will be a congressman and a great debater. I don't know of anything that you could use in this walk of life unless, George, you can use this box of toothpicks. Miss Brown. 1 have decided what you will be. 1 think you will be a poet or an oiator. Cough drops are a necessity in such a business. This box is for you, Thelma. Hallock, 1 am sure that you will be an editor of a large paper; so 1 give you this box of pen points, hoping you will have the privilege of using them in that work. Miss Mills, so you are going to be a doctor. I believe they use saws in that business, but I don’t know what kind. Here is a crosscut saw, Frances; I hope it will do. Miss Morey, and you are to be a dental surgeon. I think, Hilda, that this pair of pliers might be something you can use. Mr. Griillth, thinking that you might need something to carry you back and forth to Athens, seeing you have interests here, 1 give you this auto. Miss Crompton, I think you will be a domestic science teacher some day. 1 believe you will find some new formulas for dinners in this cook book, Esther. Miss Carner, we know you have a desire lor arm chairs, so here is one you can take with you, Muriel. Miss Sherman, although I believe you will never forget your basketball days in Athens High School. 1 give you this ball. I know you do not need these reminders, but yet I hope you will keep them always, until they become heirlooms of your family, as remembrances of your high school days. WALTER LUNGER. ’19. THE CLASS PROPHECY The Class of 1919 will return to Athens High School in 1930 to publish The Athenian. Of course, no one as yet knows that they will do this, except the prophet, who has been able to write the future of each of the members. Look first at the front cover. Here is a beautiful work of art resembling a valentine. It is a fine looking young lady with dark hair and dreamy eyes. I sup- pose you all would like to know the artist. I glance in the corner and read the words, “Raup did it.’ Next look at the advertisements: Carlyle Griffith, M. I). Office hours 4 a. m. to 6 a. m. Carlyle, always so dignified and stately during his career in A. H. S., will no doubht be sufficiently able to fill that position Chew Brink’s Gum. The flavor lasts and the gum won’t wear out. Mr. Brink, like most other manufacturers, found out by accident that gum having a wearing quality could be manufactured. Athens National Bank. If you don’t bank with us we both lose. President. John Weller. While in high school Mr. Weller showed great devotion to the bank. Here in the want column are some ads. worthy of attention: Wanted—Typewriting to do at home. Slow process. Freida Smith. A Frenchman from Paris wishes to give lessons. Monsieur Charles Hinton Cook. It is strange that Hinton would give up his nationality. After all, we can un derstand it because we know of his fondness for French while in high school. Listen to some of the personal items: 36 Marie Salsman. the great suffragette lecturer, will be through Bradford county soon giving lectures. Sousa’s Band will be at the New Sayre soon with Raymond Marvin as first violinist. Alice Phelps is teaching Domestic Science in Columbia College this year. When in New York City, visit the Metropolitan and you will hear Muriel Carner filling the role of prima donna in Faust. Professor Bert Squires has gone to Philadelphia to take up his position as teacher of mathematics in the University of Pennsylvania. Bert will need no answers in his textbooks, as he will be able to remember them, for he always remembered the answers to the most difficult problems while in high school. Another page of advertisements: Eat Russell’s Chocolates. Goodness knows they’re good. While in high school Everett would occasionally bring chocolates to school. !He found out that they were so delicious that he couldn’t withstand the temptation to manufacture them himself. Lessons in elocution and English. Teacher—Rheta Samson. Those wishing to take lessons in elocution should patronize Miss Samson, as she has become very famous. On the next page are the words in bold type: JOIN THE DAIRYMEN’S LEAGUE— PRESIDENT. STANLEY PAYNE. There are also large headlines: PRESIDENT HAROLD TONKIN SAILED THIS MORNING FOR FRANCE ON THE GEORGE WASHINGTON. Of course he will be attending a meeting of the League of Nations. Here is another advertisement of the great Shakespearean play. The Merchant of Venice. The part of Portia is taken by Emily Tozer. Here are some want ads.:: Have your fruit trees trimmed by a State College man. Walter Lunger. It is evident that Walter wishes to help along the lives of the trees as he helps the people by amusing them. Send your false teeth to me and I will pay good prices for them. Robert Horton. Mr. Horton is always ready to accomodate everyone and he will try to secure a position that will be helpful and beneficial to all. Personal items: Go to George Barton, the noted lawyer, and have your troubles adjusted. Grace Smith, a street car conductor, is spending a few days’ vacation at her home in Athens, Pa. Genevieve Brown has been appointed the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Of course we know that she is capable of filling this position, as she had vast experience along this line during her high school career. Special meetings will be held all next week by the noted lecturer. Leigh Crawford. His general subjects will be on vacations. He will give advice to students in regard to the manner in which they should spend their vacations. Doctor Frances Mills has come back from the West and will have her office here in town in the future. The Athens Library Club have the honor of having Esther Crompton with them. She is one of the world’s greatest critics. The next issue of the Saturday Evening Post will contain the short story entitled The Defeated Hero. It is written by the famous novelist. William Gerould. We are sorry to learn that Hilda Morey has left this country. Nevertheless 37 she is faithfully doing her duties, daily acting as guide for travelers crossing the Alps. Of course we know the difficulties which mountain climbers frequently encounter. They come face to face with walls of ice which they must climb. I think Hilda, however, frequently brings to mind the class motto of 1919 Perseverance and energy conquer all things.” On the next page is a poem filled with reminiscences of school days. The title of the poem is In School Days, and it is written by Thelma Brown. The first stanza is: “Oh those school days, happy school days. When I sat in that old back seat. And when the teacher called upon me I was gazing toward the street. Another personal item: The famous Boston Glee Club will soon be making its annual tour through here. The position as reader will be filled by Marian Sherman. This Athenian is very interesting and 1 am very sorry that I cannot give you this copy. As it is. you will have to wait patiently until the regular copies are printed. MARGARET SMITH. ’19. CLASS WILL We. the Senior Class of Athens High School, County of Bradford.

NOTE OF At ’KNOW LEIMJEM ENT The Athenian Editorial Board wishes to take this opportunity to thank the students who have so loyally supported the paper this year. Many of them have contributed articles when called upon, and all of them have handed in class notes. We also wish to thank our advertisers. They have stood by us this year, and we ask the students to stand by their school paper by patronizing its advertisers. To the firm of Powers. Soper and Mosher the school is indebted for the use of the chairs at the class entertainments. The firm has permitted us to use these chairs free of charge, and we appreciate it. The members of the cast of “A Bachelor’s Romance’’ wish to extend thanks to the persons who have loaned articles for the costuming or scenery. The Board wishes to acknowledge the cover for this number. It was designed by Wayne Howland, a former member of the Class of 1919, who continues to keep up his active interest in The Athenian.
