14 THK ATHENIAN we will hope for the best that your success as a writer of “poems” be nothing short of great and this press shall do its work in publishing said “poems.” Yes, this wrist watch is for our future nurse, Miss Kinner. May you wear this on duty and let it serve as a means by which to care for your patients and never to be late. Our future senator, Mr. Blostein, very popular as public speaker, 1 give you this street car. May this carry you to and from your business. To Miss Moore, an East Athenian very diligent but docile, I give this India rubber ball which shall serve as a reminder of your days spent in A. H. S. and those basketball games at the I. R. Miss Cotton, one of our Ulster students, says she is going to be one of U. S. foremost doctors some day, anyway a nurse. Marj, I think this thermometer would be very appropriate for you and wish you success. This rolling pin, Miss Dettra, is very suitable for you, for your skill shown as a Domestic Scientist and will undoubtedly be of great aid to you in days to come. Miss Briggs, you love home life and music in all respects;I think nothing could be more suitable for you than this tuning fork.

And, last but by far not least, to our absent member and President of the class of 1920, we will give you the heartfelt sympathy of your class and will write your virtues upon our tablets of love and memory, and perhaps this selection, “End of a Perfect Day,” will remind you of those dear old days in A. H. S. Algie Winters ’20. THE ATHENIAN The Athenian has been published for the past ten years by the students of Athens High School. The paper has never been given up since it was started and this is a record of which we are very proud. The paper has always been a success and it has a bright future. We take great pleasure in thanking the merchants of the town for their generous support. They have helped us to solve our financial problems. In the years to come I hope to see the success strengthened. This can be done in various ways. One way is to make the subscription list larger. Make your editorials and notes have lots of pep. Make them just as original as you can and The Athenian will be a brighter and more interesting paper next year. T here is talent in this school and here is your chance to show it to the public and your fellow students. Frederick Root ’20. WHAT SHALL WE READ ? What shall I read ? We often ask ourselves when we have a few hours to spend in that kind of recreation. We usually choose a book with conversation, written by an author whom we know is interesting. Some books are harmful in that they give us a distorted view of human nature. But there are many true accounts of lives, or if they are not true they have a true conception of life. Little Women is a most interesting book and its characters live and grow just as any human being grows in character. You take an interest in just how these girls are going to get along and what they are going to do next. Another story written in the form of a girl’s diary is Stepping Heavenward. It is the story of a girl who seems as real as any person in actual life. She has a bad temper and as many faults as any real girl. But someone says that he likes detective stories. Just tryConan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is of interest to anyone who likes stories of that character. There are circumstances which seem unexplainable, but Sherlock Holmes uses his wonderful power of reasoning and explains them in such a way that there is no doubt left in your mind when he has finished. There certainly is no reason why so many worthless books should be read when our libraries contain many valuable books of every kind. There are good biographies, histories, stories of mystery and adventure which should appeal to all of us. Florence Kellogg ’20.
