4 THE ATHENIAN A PERFECT DAY As our childhood days were carefree and full of frolic, we little thought or heard of high school days. But as we neared the grade where so many make the change, some obtained work, while others prepared for the beginning of a Perfect Day, a day of which they had no vision in their first day of school. The four fleeting years which we have passed together, striving toward one goal (the goal that looked to some so far away, and to others so near) have ended and now comes the end of the Perfect Day. But as we worked together and worked alone, we shared the troubles of one another. Raymond Casper '20. Our Class President was unable to finish this tribute to our school days because of serious illness, but we feel that in these few lines he has expressed our feeling that our close associations in school have been happy and we feel with him that our graduation day is indeed the end of a Perfect Day. “Life is before you!—and as now you stand Eager to spring upon the promised land, Fair smiles the way where yet your feet have trod But few light steps, upon a flowery sod: Round you are youth’s green bowers—and to your eyes, Tho’ horizon’s line but joins the earth and skies, Daring and triumph, pleasure, fame and joy: Friendship unwavering, love without alloy, Brave thoughts of noble deeds, and glory won Like angels, beckon you to venture on.” CLASS MOTTO Our motto is, Our First Concern is Our Country’s Welfare. We have taken advantage of the opportunities that our country offers to us to get an education in high school, and some of us will, undoubtedly, go on to higher institutions of learning in order to be of the greatest aid to our country. With this same principle in view our forefathers founded this wonderful country of ours and made laws for justice to all mankind. Devotion to one’s country is the foundation of all happiness. In every legitimate activity the country stands behind us as a guard to protect us against the evils that may threaten us and to help crush all obstacles in the path of prosperity. In return for all these great privilege she only asks that we play fair and promote everything on the square. Let us all be ready to fulfill, as best we can, whatever duty we are called upon to perform, whether it be to defend our flag in times of oppression, or to promote our country’s welfare in times of peace and prosperity. James Miller ’20. CLASS HISTORY First and Second Years “He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, He is a foolish Freshman. Teach him.” Sixty-three of us landed in high school one bright and sunny morning (for every one but us) and the brighter the sun shone the greener we seemed. We stumbled around the halls, literally fell into the classrooms, only to find we were the laughing stock of some of the students of higher classes who were amused by our mistakes. Our class was not organized but Miss Jenkins was our class teacher and we had two Athenian editors, Elizabeth Allis, and Hugh Winters. The High School building burned February 15, 1915, and we found it necessary to hare school in the church and even with this great loss we did not lose a day of school.
