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
