NOT an Inch Truth is Mighty and Shall Prevail HE universal popularity of Studebaker Cars is attested by the fact that the corporation enjoyed the biggest business in its history in the year of 1921. The sales of Studebaker Cars were 29 per cent, greater than in 1920, notwithstanding the fact that the total number of cars sold of all other makes (except Ford) was 40 per cent, less than in 1920. Stated otherwise, Studebaker’s ratio of sales was 129 and the total of all other makes 60, as compared with 1920. The number of Studebaker Cars sold in the year of 1921 in both Greater New York and in the Metropolitan District exeeeded the sales of any other make except Ford. Studebaker is the world’s largest producer of six-cylinder cars. The only possible explanation of the popularity of Studebaker Cars lies in their quality, durability and dependable performance in users’ hands. Proof that the cars sta id up in service with minimum repairs is evidenced by the fact that our sales of Repair Parts in 1921 were 12 per cent, less than they were in 1919, notwithstanding that 118,000 new cars were sold and put in operation in 1920 and 1921. Based on the total estimated number of Studebaker Cars in operation in 1921, we sold $16.00 worth of parts per car for repairs from all causes, including accidents. The materials and workmanship in Studebaker Cars measure up to the highest standards known to the automobile industry. Substantially becter intrinsic values cannot be obtained at any price. The theory that high prices necessarily mean fine cars is fallacious, simply because prices are not based upon intrinsic values but upon production costs of individual makers, which vary widely according to their ab'lity and manufcturing facilities. Obviously high costs of production, inevitably arising from incompetence or inadequate manufacturing facilities, mean not only high prices but actually inferior cars. With $70,000,000 of actual net assets including $36,000,000 of plant facilities Studebaker stands unsurpassed in ability and resources to manufacture economically and give the greatest intrinsic value possible for a given price.

It was a bright day with skies of deepest blue reflecting the spirit of Class of ’22. Seventy-two on this journey started with Miss Tuthill as our gl ide ir.d friend and, to aid with the paper of our H‘gh School, we elected Athenian editors two. Now, some to attain success on this journey chose the exacting paths of science to tread, while others preferred a language long dead; but no matter which path was chosen the climbing at first was hard for everyone. The customs of this land were new to us. They called us Freshies and said we were green; but nothing d lunted we soon learned, and this so dignified our name it wasn’t what it seemed. The fust class enterprise was a benefit at The Mor-ley where we netted the sjm of sixty-one dollars ;r.d fifty cents, st rtirvj us on the road to financial success Then came exams., the gates through which the realm of the Sophomores was reached. Sixty entered through these gates as a reward for daily toil but of the rest, some had lingered by the wayside in the cool shade of indifference, and some were c lied aw; y cn other journeys by One who our destinies guides. Then after we became Sophomores sedate we stepped to reconnoitre so that we might travel onward with speed and order. Our class officers we elected first and they guided us in many paying enterprizes that added to our fame as a class of workers always game. Then we gave a Hallowe’en party weird, presided o’er by mystery and fun, to which we invited all our comr: des to come. Later we had a benefit picture, followed by a sleighrids and a class party; and last in the list of this remarkable year was a bazaar, a marvelous success, completing the activities of the Second Year Class. All this time we had been climbing a bit higher each day until the time came when we were sporting class rings and feeling Important, being called Juniors by name. And now with the highest average in view our real work began with spirit true. We bought pictures to adorn our classroom. Then later, with money from a movie earned, added to our treasury, we began to plan for the Junior banquet, the last farewell to the Class of ’21. The Junior year o’er, there came a parting of ways for our friend and teacher of three years’ travels was leaving for happy lands away. Then came a time when we left Juniorland to become Seniors dignified and grand, marching on with ambitions, soaring through gates swung wide to receive us, for we were fifty strong. Mr. Hazard now came to be our teacher wise and keep us out of mischief while we our lessons studied and carried out plans to make money. We sold candy with a goodly profit and served a cafeteria supper, making some money and having some fun out of it. Next we gave an entertainment of three one-act plays rnd several musical numbers. Later came a b with all the trimmin’s and lots of good things to n interclass meet followed soon. But the cr ing event of the season was rn operetta giving th . talent of the class a chance to show folks acting � t their best. As a class of thens High striving to gain knowledge as we climbed up the rocky hill of lean, ing, we’ve always tried to be game and do our part in keeping the fame of our High School. Both beyond girls have worked with a will. The auxili ;• and athletic associations we were always read, 'to aid. And we’ve been represented in politics, music, li:or ture, societies and athletics; in fact, thcr net! ing we c .n’t do. We have climbed togeth r four ye: rs, sometimes agreeing and sometimes not. Yet, jvst the same, most of us sincerely regret to leave. Still some of us are eager for new worlds to travel to prove our mettle true, while all of us rr bound by pleasant memories of work well done : nd geed times spent. Luella Merrill, 22. CLASS SONG. Y c shall play life’s game and play it fairly, We shall find the road to clearer skies, For tonight life’s highway’s strewn with flowers When to you, High School, we bid good-bye. It’s time to leave you, To say farewell, s on the hilltop and in the dell The sun is shining, no cloud appears. Though clouds may come to us in life, It’s the bluebird’s song we’ll hear. Fond memories of you upon us throng When ’22 sings this farewell song, We’ll seek the rainbow in each raindrop, The roses filled with dew When at this hour we bid adieu to you. Vivian Jane Gay, ’22. ATHENIAN IIIE BLU1 Jerry, Jerry, do be careful. There, you've done it, just as you always do,’’shrieked a feminine voice as a bookcase containing several encyclopedias crashed to the floor. A large, overgrown and awkward boy about fifteen years of age slowly picked himself up from ths nialst of the debris. He was rubbing his elbow thoughtfully. “Wasn’t that funny now? .II I did was to touch the old thing and dov.-a it went. Awfully inconsiderate of the encyclopedias, wasn’t it, mother?” Mrs. Edwrids couldn't help laughing at the ridiculous figure robbing his elbow so compassion at -1 , but she w s rather angry .11 the same. “I should think you would learn, Jerry Edwards, that everything you touch or even look at takes the idea into its he; d to topple over.” Tm awfully sorry, mother. I'll pick ’em all i p,” sa.‘d Jerry ckrcrfally. After he h d finished with the books he s umtored oi.t nto the y d. Iio was very unpleas ntlv s r-pris d to see the girl next d: or leaning over the feme. If there was anything on e vth tli t Jerry dsliked, it vv. s girls At school he always avoid d them in every possible w y. In fact, thers were cnly two things that he liked j”S .t present nyhow. One thing w. s hi dog, and the other was baseball. He v. s a Frrsl.r: n in High Schccl, nd wvs working very h- id to n � ke the team. T r girl nert door bog n to y-11 rt him, “Oh, you bl rd rbrss, M r.d rbuss, hlur.d rbuss. Lock out, or you’ll f 11 down.” Jerry paid no attention. This insignificant, frock-1 d . ted girl was of no eoi • qecnce. “Oh, you clumsy b: by boy! It can’t walk rom d without stubbing its toe and falling down. Oh, you 1 ! r.derbnss.” Jrrry d'eid d he rov’d r.t nd ‘t no longer H r.v d' fun cf by a girl; so be whistled to Kr d ad strrtcd v.iih herd high rd - d‘° ni'? d r ‘cl' down the street. It w s very unfortnn te tVt a s!i k happened to be in his n th. b’t it was tVr- . rnd of course Jerry hrd to stumble ov7 it, rilling over into the ro d A wild shriek of laughter greet'd H ’ n V--h:rd the fence. Just as Jerry was scrambling to bis frrt, his mother cillrd to him to h rrv d 'm A the store rrd g t her five oounds of s 'gir. J-'—- never greeted rn errrrd with greater joy thn be d‘d th' t one. He r n down th'1 street verv hurriedly, trying to get the sound of the tormentin' Lu h-t r out of his ears. He ran swiftly, looking down at the ground, rnd wishing he was Pereivl Algernon Jones, who was very graceful and well behaved and the mrde] • y of the town. sL'ERBUSS. It was indeed ill-timed that an enormously fat man chose that moment to be walking up the street, carrying a basket of eggs. The fat man was walking leisurely along, gazing at the sky and wondering whether it would rain or not, when suddenly something heavy bumped into him. It was so unexpected that he threw up his arms, eggs and all, and fell over backward. By some trick of Fate, the basket of eggs overturned on luckless Jerry’s head and there smashed. While Jerry was wiping egg out of his eyes and ears the fat man slowly arose. He was very angry. Indeed he was so angry that he shook all over like a glass of currant jelly. When he had recovered the use of his feet and tongue, he turned to Jerry and yelled: “Young man, what business have you to run along the highways knocking down harmless pedestrians? You shall pay me for every one of those eggs. 'There were twelve dozen of them and they cost me thirty cents a dozen. You will pay for them. Hear what I say?” “Glub, glub, glub; I hear. Glub, glub, glub, sure worth thirty cents a dozen. Glub, glub; have some with me.” This only made the fat man angrier. Unlike most fat men he had no sense of humor, and so could not sympathize with anyone who did have. “You young scalawag, I’ll teach you to be sassy to your elders. I’ll slap your face for you.” He tried to execute his threat, but Jerry dodged successfully, and ran down the street, calling back that he would send the money for the eggs. “It’ll take all the money I’ve saved up for a bat,” thought Jerry ruefully. “Why is it that I’m always blundering? I sure do wish that I was like Perciv I Algernon Jones so that I could al ays do the right thing.” There hrd been a spectator to all this. He was the new baseball coach. He had fully expected to see Jerry lose his temper, but when he saw that he took it all as a joke and kept his temper, he immediately decided that Jerry would be a good member for the baseball team. The next morning at school the coach called Jerry up to him and said, “Edwards, I’ve d 'c’d d ? � 1 t you be on the baseball team. We need men who c n keep their temper in emergencies.” Jerry was almost swept off his feet by the surprise, then he murmured some inarticulate thanks rrd went back to his seat. “Gee, but I’m gird I’m not that sissified Percival lgrrnon Joes,” he thought, as he settled back in I is sent Then as he sat down he happened to look v ss the room. There sat the girl next door. She v: s looking straight at him und shaking her red ATHENIAN braids in an approving manner. She also smiled very sweetly at him. Jerry smiled back and then began to study. Perhaps his mind was not all on his book, for he whispered to himself, “Aw, girls ain’t so bad after all.” Pauline Kuykendall, ’22.

The four years of our High School life have passed very rapidly; not without hard work for some of us, peril ps, but pleasantly nevertheless. Our average has net always been the highest in these four years, but our class ranks with the largest entering High Cc.iool. We also have a record of which to be proud, Ci record for entertainments. For the success of ' se : lid for the success of our climb to graduation, we owe th- nl:s, many thanks, to our teachers who h ve helped us up the steep ladder of knowledge. The class has also sent several star athletes to b ttle for the honor of the school. Others who have been unable’ to go on the field and battle for the s hool have backed the team by joining the athletic ; ssoci tion. s we have been successful in our school enterprises : r.d in our classes, so let us be successful in our business life. Always remember the old High f chool d ys and fight for success with the same d'tcrmin-tion as we have fought together as the Class of 1922. Seth Grodivant, ’22. .S A COLLEGE EDUCATION WORTH WHILE? I h: kesper re said, “It is the mind that makes the 1 dy rich. A present-day version of this saying is. It is (d cation that makes life worth living. Dr. . T H d!ey of Yale says, “For the majority of men r. (ollcge education is of inestimable value. The le: ders of business and professional life are r q ’ircd to be trained in their particular sphere. The found tion of training of modem times is school life which teaches the student the principle of how to learn and the greater lesson of discipline. Man r n never learn too much nor can he be too well dis- Mined in the matter pertaining to the success of a particular vocation. Hence the college is sought by men who wish to reach the highest efficiency in the shortest time. One should attend college because it yields large I-turns. Education is mind-training for power. It ’V. net only to sharpen one’s tools, but also to make him who handles the tools more of a man. History proves that learning by one’s own experience is slower than learning from the experience of others. A man, working for a business firm, would have to spend several years working to get the position a college graduate would receive. A modern, well-equipped college or university gives young men the best and most complete preparation for any form of activity to which they may desire to devote themselves in later life. Another personal benefit from a college education ATHENIAN is a good salary. Many positions pay the graduate enough for a comfortable living; other graduates receive a larger salary. Then there are those not educated, who comm: nd a larger salary than the gr.dute. True this is, but an education is worth more th: n money. Another : dvantage in going to college is making : cqu: int. nccs. A man can make profitable and lifelong friends at college when elsewhere they could not be cVxincd. It me. ns something that college tr. inrd men make i p but two per cent of the men of the country, and th. t that two per cent forms thirty-eight p r cent of the wealthiest men of the United Ct tes. It me ns something that that two per cent h .vc i rn'.s’i d thirty-two per cent of all Congrcss.n n, sixty-five per cent of all Pres dents, and seventy-three : :r cent of all Ji dges of the Si preme Court.

THE GIRLS’ CHORUS. When we first entered High School, Miss Mildred Jordan was the music teacher and she started a girls' chorus. All the girls in the High School belonged, but eight girls were selected for a special chorus. This chorus appeared before the Library Club twice and at other functions in the town. The next year Miss Jord m had the same chorus. But when we were Juniors, Miss Irene Riffle came to take charge of the music and she st rted a girls' chon s under the name of the Double Sextet. Twelve girls belonged, and they appeared several times before the public. In April, 1921, they gave a concert, with the aid of other musicians, to pay for the seats in the auditorium. At gr daction 1 st ye r they lest one member from the sopranos. Th!s year Miss Riffle s?lectcd twelve more girls to join with the Double Sextet and they were called the Girls' Chons. When Mrs. Overfield came tu take the place of Miss Riffle, she kept this chorus. They have a place on the stage where they sit uring chapel, cn Monday, Wedneed y and Frid y mornings, : r.d le d the singing. On Mond ly and Thurs-d y at C:30 they practice in the auditorium. They have rppeared several times before the public. D :r-ing Music Week they sang at The Morley, and they also ippeared at the Art Exhibit Many of the girls this year belong to the Senior Class and will graduate, but we sincerely hope that the other classes will respond to the call when the nort chon s is org ni?rd : r.d will not let it die. Urd r Mrs. Overfie’d’s direction the chorus next year should be much better th- n it was this year. Catherine Perle, '22. WHAT THE LETTER A MEANS. A number of the boys and girls in Athens High School wear a large letter A or A. H. S. monogram cn their sweaters. Perhaps a stranger in the town might be interested to know what these letters represent. A student cannot wear High School letters i nlcss he has earned them. When anyone has play-id three games representing Athens High School in some form of athletics, then he is entitled to his letter. It is an honor to have earned these, and everyone would be proud to wear them. This custom of presenting letters to the athletes is one which has been carried out for a long time. The letters are presented to the individuals of the various teams before the student body. All students like to win these monograms because it shows that they are interested not only in athletic sports but also in their High School. Pauline Pruyne, '22. Rita Frisbie, '22. ATHENIAN OUK CLASS. Rise up, ye classmen, take note as we pass Of the number and glory of this year’s class. We’re really worth noting, I guess you all know In studies our members have made a good show. You’ll find every type in our class '22, Humorists, orators and good students too. Some are severe, others frivolous and gay, We’ll remember each one when our hair has turned gray. In football and baseball and in every game Our members have added to A. H. S. fame. Big MulshJl VanScoten and Pat Everhart C «-Scd many a team to get beat at the start. Overfield, Crcdifoid and Wayne McEntire G..ve us many a chance for a dandy bonfire. Folks Hocked to see Page in a football game, ..nd as manager, Segar has also won fame. We have Nora Watson, a fine, jolly girl, ou'il notice she’s always right into the swirl; When it comes to work she’s there with the goods, .nd she mixes fun with her serious moods. We've musicians of note, as our concerts will show, Lome sing w..y up high, while others sing low; IL.rley Decker’s a good one at blowing a horn, lie’ll join Sousa's band just as sure as you’re bom. Another musician is our friend Roy Cook, lie’s us needful to us as the leaves to a book. Gen Osborne’s a singer in our school sextette, And Hazel Middaugh's the best alto yet. In our record for scholarship our Geraldine Surpasses the record of all on the scene; And next Girton Carle has an average high, His aim never falters but soars to the sky. You’ve noticed a few of the class ’22, Who don’t say very much, for they’ve too much to do; There’s a girl, Alice Miller, and another, Pauline, Hardly ever are heard but can always be seen. Some boys, too, fit in that class very well, If I could read thoughts I surely could tell That a boy from Ulster whom we all call Bill, Ar.d John, too, have reasons for keeping so still. It may seem to some that I’ve neglected the girls, Those creatures so noted for whims and for curls; But they’ve virtues so many and their faults are so few That I can’t describe them, I’ll leave that to you. We’ve so many of fame I can't make a start At proclaiming their glories, though I know them by heart; But I've told you enough so that you can foresee What a glorious success their futures will be. Attention, ye classmen, we wish to give praise To the friends who’ve stood by us in so many ways; We hope they'll succeed in each new enterprise, Th: t their glory and fame may be sung to the skies. I r.d now ; t our parting we wish to advise Th: t you follow our footsteps because we are wise; I r.d we leave at our passing this message to you: Please remember our class of 1922. Linda Salsman, '22. H. H. H. CLUB. The II. H. H. Club was formed by thirteen pr foi rtecn girls of the Senior Class in their Junior ye. r. It is a “mystery” club to most of the students of the High School. Boys! never say the girls can’t k c p a secret This secret has been kept for two ye. :s. We chose a name for it which has never Iccn revealed by any of its members. The first d fiieulty we had to meet was when we were refused a charter by Congress because we would not reveal our name. Finally, after much argument, we were granted a charter under the name of the H. H. H. Club. L st year's Senior Class was very much interested in our club. They wrote poems about it and very ft ncroesly supplied us with many different names. If : ny other students of the High School should wish to form rn H. H. H. Club, we could suggest to them some of these names, such as Happy Hooligan Hikers, Happy Hungry Hikers, Happy Healthy Hikers, ar.d other names, some of which are better th'n orr real name, but the right one has never been guessed. We, the fifteen girls who are members of the H. H. H. Club, are now Seniors and ready to leave dear old Athens High. The question that is confronting us now is, Shall we ask some of the Junior girls to join our club and keep it alive in the High School, or shall we let it die when we leave the High School, the one unsolved mystery of Athens High School? Marguerite Montgomery, '22. ATHENIAN MEMORIALS OF ATHENS. Every nation since the world began has honored its heroes with monuments to commemorate their great deeds. A country's greatness depends a great deal on its monuments, since they are the living history of a nation. They bring before the youth of the land the brilliant past of their country and make them more patriotic. They make them long to dj something great for their country to give it a brilliant future. The old towns are full of historic places and stories of the past. The townsmen trace their ancestors back to the Revolution and love to tell of the great deeds of their fathers and grandfathers. The reputation of an old town as far as history is concerned is already made. People are prord of co ing from an old town. The new town, however, h s no history to make it famous. It h is to make a name for itself. It must show thr?t it is progressive, whi e the old town can live on its past. 1 the ns has her place as one of the historic landmarks of history. On the comer of the lot now occupied by the Perkins homeste: d is a huge bould r on which is a bronze tablet stating that here was the si e of Fort Sulliv: n. the headquarters of 5,000 nr n under General Sullivan, who abolished savagery rnd opened the Keystone State to civilization This town wrs then the he dquart rs of one-thi-d of th' entire American army. The old Academy is remembered rs the place where the song writer Foster attended school. The public library bri’ding is the memori 1 of a young man, Robert Sp luld’ng, er ct d by his f: ther. There are several memorials and monuments now erected in Athens. We have the bou’der m riling Fort Sulliv: n. In front of the old Ac d' :iy v e have a monument erected to Civil War veter ns. In the High School building there is a bronze tablet with the nrmes of 134 former students of the Hi N School who gave their services to their country !' the Worid Wrr. Two of these men, Flo d mold : nd Howard Delaney, gave their lives. But thr' rre several monuments which are yet to be erect’d One of these is the monument rt Tiogi Point to tell i e history of that great war with th? Indi ns. There is no memorial for the so'diers who fo ght in the gre t World Wnr, except the bronze t blot n L.he High School building which does not inch'd? 11 ° heroes. Other towns have their memori 'Is. : rd t seems that Athens ought to have one too. We ought to have a memorial for Stephen Foster, the great song writer. Memorials should not only be given to soldiers but also to citizens of our town who do some service for it. It is for rs, the men rnd women of tomorrow, to look into these matters. We must erect the memori Is which these great men d'serve rrd which wi‘l make this town the historic landmark it really is. It is for us to make Athens such an important town historically that all Athenians may be proud of their town ai.d that when they go out in the world they may say with pride, “I am from Athens, Pennsylvania.1” Agnes Koehler, '22.

Four years ago a plan was presented to the Cl: ss cf '22 which would give them a capital of $10,00) cn gr. daation, for the income on that amount would r.-present their increased earning power as High School graduates 191.2 is here and our ch nee is gone. Whether it h. s been used for good or b: d, it is gone. But to P ose who remain in High School, and to those who enter, we can give the results of oar experience, 'ihis can be expressed in a very short and simple sentence: You must go to work, ai d stay at work. What better rewaid could you ash, th-n, at the d y when you and the old school separate, to feel you have done your best? that you have conscientiously carried out your part of the pi: n for earning $10,000. •' So, to those who remain behind us, to those who will now rnd who in the future will make Athens High, with all goed intentions, we, the Class of '22, say, Do every day's work in the way it should be done. You who will be in the school, WORK, and on a fighting project, FIGHT for the HONOR of Athens High. Do nothing which will throw dishonor on this, our school. Do everything you can which will bring honor and glory to the school. Franklin Manahan, '22. ATHENIAN FAVORITE MOTTOES.

I pluck a posy; Do I stand and stare? All's blue. Aline LaMont, '22. OUR PICTURES. We Seniors had our pictures taken. And Oh, how said it is but true! They make us look so homely, We know not what to do. Some tried to look so pretty, And some smiled right out loud, And others wore a haughty frown, And looked so very proud. “Aren't they awful?” we all cried, Gazing at them in despair; It was such a pity, When we took such special care. So don't judge us by our pictures, When you see them in the book, For we know they are not handsome, But we're smarter than we look. Genevieve Osborn, '22. THE CLASS OF 1922. For four long years we've studied, We've worked with cheer and vim, To the best of our ability, Though our chances did look slim. The other classes aided us, And all our teachers too; At last we've made our record Of what we had to do. We've given plays and suppers, And we've worked in athletics too; But now that we are leaving, They're left for someone else to do. And now that we are Seniors We'll not forget our school; And may the A. H. S. remember The Class of 1922. Ina Merithew, 22. ATHENIAN WANT ADS. By the various regular tardy members of our Senior Class, namely, George Overfield, Rita Frisbie, and Mary Hair, a good second-hand fire alarm that will fill the bill. By two members of our High School, George Overfield and Markle Wells, a job driving an ambulance—the Packer preferred. Wayne McEntire wishes a complete set of brake lining for his car. The old ones cause too much excitement by their high shrill note when applied. LeRoy Cook wants a stand or a good Freshman to suspend his saxophone on as it is almost as much as he can manage. LeRoy Everhart would awfully like some kind-hearted Senior to persuade a certain friend of his to return to school. A good bicycle by Stanley White, so that he may compete with the Sayre theater manager in running ...' one town to another. William Minor is willing to pay a reasonable sum to the young man who has a truck and will import some young Irdies to Athens. Gasoline is higher and Sayre is two miles away. Mr. Crediford would like a radiophone to get the broadcasts in study hall. Must be cheap. Donald Patton wants more bazaars so that he m y show his talent as a carpenter.

We, the members of the Class of 1922, being of superior ability and better judgment than the rest of the classes of the Athens High School, who are about to leave our domicile of the past four years, desire to give and bequeath some of our qualities in order that they who follow us may equal the achievements that we have made. We therefore ordain and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us. Except for a few minor bequests to be hereafter mentioned we herewith disinherit our natural heirs, the present Junior Class, for various reasons. The present Junior Class was made the heir of the Senior class of 1921; as they have thought themselves superior to the present Senior Class and because of their disrespectful behavior and conduct towards ourselves their elders, we are forced to this extremity. We have helped them when they have been heavily burdened, setting them on the path of prosperity when they have veered toward the path of iniquity. Oh, but it has been hard to meet with such ingratitude! We therefore leave the bulk of our estate to the Second Year Class, namely: Our possession of a highly-developed power in giving the law, setting the fashion for the entire High School, our genius or remarkable aptitude which we have exhibited through our four years of hard and faithful work. To a few members of the class we do give, bequeath and devise certain minor possessions: To Gertrude Quinn we bequeath Ida Powers’ dignified air and looks that she too may fool the public and the camera man in mistaking her for a teacher or a movie actress. To Stanley Harris we give Bob Page’s old army p nts so he too may look like a prosperous business man. To Frrd Powers we give Marshal VanScoten’s farming ability, because you never can tell but that it may come in h-rdy some day. To Job Morley we give William McKenna’s wonderful ability as a speaker. To Earl Dill we give Harley Henning’s talent as an electrical expert and inventor, so that he may follow the footsteps of our ingenious Harley. Lastly, we bequeath certain minor legacies to the Juniors because we feel they are entitled to them: To DeWitt Long we give one of Bob Page’s golf sticks for him to practice with this summer, because we think next year he will start a golf team. To Bessie North we bequeath Anna Stevens’ popularity among the boys of the High School. To Clifton Lynch we give Amos Crediford’s thoughtful jokes that he may furnish some entertainment to his class. To Dorothy Rockwell we leave Geraldine Miller’s sweater so that she will have a place for her letter ATHENIAN «A.” To Wendell Andrews we bequeath Stanley White's military genius and his ability as a bright student. These provisions having been duly witnessed, we hereby appoint Leon Loomis, Theodore Hedrick and Manley Talbert as executors of this our last will and testament this first day of June in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two. CLASS OF '22. Witnesses: Marshal VanScoten, Anna Stevens, John Carpenter. George Overfield, '22. PROPHECY. After completing a study of phrenology I became much interested in a new invention called the pro-pcrsonalitic. It is more commonly known as a photographic contrivance of personalities. It is used very much on the principle of a programmatic, but one must have studied and strengthened his power of perspicuity in order to use it. It stands about five feet high and is shaped like a pentagon. In front is a square piece of fibrous material which looks much like white gauze. The pro-personalitic flashes scenes on this screen while mtisic which harmonizes with the movements of the actors accompanies it. On a coriaceous substance I write the name and what I think to be the most dominant quality of the subject's personality. From this character sketch is deducted the forces which influence him in his life work, and thus the screen is an authentic report of his future work. I shall take for an example Ida Powers, who always was a very useful member of our class. The music has a sound which so many describe as homelike, but wait—the picture will decide her fate. I see her in an artist's smock. Whoever thought she hid so much talent, even though she was so fond of a certain painter! The next name which I give to this remarkable piece of mechanism shows a young woman demonstrating Wells' player pianos. She was the musician of the class, or better known as Jerry. The music changes to one of the latest comedy hits called “A Farmer's Son.'' Genevieve Osborn is the star, and as she turns to speak to her accompanist, I recognize Luella Merrill by her skill and rapidity in playing. The theater manager comes out and joins them, but not until he turns away do I recognize William McKenna's familiar walk. With a clashing of traps, William vanishes. In all this noise I see a large hotel kitchen and Marshall in the white cap of a chef. He always was fond of eating, but I thought it was hard work for him to be a cook. The trim maid who comes to speak to him is indeed Laura Horton by the capable way she carries her tray. There is a buzzing and snapping sound, and to my surprise Harley Henning's slightly-worried face appears with his new’ invention on his forehead which enables one to walk on water without sinking, so that in this wonderful age the Pacific ocean looks like Broadway used to. This great benefactor of humanity is now lecturing and for assistants he has Leslie Smith and Hazel Franklin. His advertising manager goes to speak to some reporters. He is no other than our old friend Ted Segar. It is a rumor that he will manage the Yale football team the following season. Now the sounds from the pro personal i tic remind me of the good jazz, but are still more agonizing than that, and who seems to be making all this commotion but Maurice Parks? He is madly playing an accompaniment for Mr. Cook's latest improvisation for the saxophone. Both of these artists have made a name for themselves in vaudeville. Next on the scene is a large leather-bound book entitled “Poems by Linda Salsman. This celebrated poetess is now travelling in Europe with her friend and companion, Marguerite Montgomery, who illustrates her poems. The music changes to a slow, dreamy tempo, and amidst the glaring lights of Broadway I can see a large playhouse which is featuring Catherine Perle supported by Andrew Bustin in “What's Your Hurry.'' It sounds like another Henry, but it's a Fordson instead, and John Carpenter is riding it. He in engrossed in a book entitled “The Best and Easiest to Harvest, by Amos Allyn Crediford. A large book is the next object flashed on the screen. It is a new edition of “Who's Who in America. As the pages are turned by an invisible hand I catch a name which holds my attention, “General W'hite, of Dallas, Texas. One whole paragraph is devoted to his military exploits and remarkable genius He is called by some a second Napoleon. Now the pages are turned backward as far as the G's. Oh, yes; I remember there was a girl in my class, Gay, both in name and disposition. It seems that she holds the world's championship for shorthand. Now the music is a march and I see the White House looming near, but it seems to be forming a background for the woman who is waiting to see the President. Who would have believed that Mar-rion Corneby would become a Senator? And her secretary is Victoria Moore. Swiftly this fades, and I am looking into a gym- ATHENIAN nasium. The music reminds me of the nursery rhymes I used to know. To the piano accompaniment of Mary Hair, Rita Frisbie is teaching folk dancing to some youngsters. They have charge of the physical training in the New York public schools. With a blare of horns a busy street crossing comes into view. Dressed in the neat uniform of a traffic cop I see Hazel Middaugh. As the traffic moves on, she nods to a couple of ambulance drivers. Will wonders never cease? They are George Overfield and Markle Wells. It’s to be expected, when one thinks how fond they were of hospitals. And what is this large white building? It looks like a sanitarium, and sure enough it is. Two nurses are walking together on the lawn and are in earnest conversation. One is tall and slender and seems to take her work very seriously, but who would ever forget Nora’s jolly laugh or Clara’s ability to work? I hear a typewriter and I also see one, but who is the very capable girl running it? Pauline Leonard, to be sure; and there is Seth reading from a magazine an article written by Professor Carle of Harvard University. Mr. Grodivant plays his part well as a very successful editor of the city’s largest paper. Back from a busy road I see a small white lunchroom. This is run by Alta Middaugh with the valuable assistance of her cook Pauline Pruyne, noted for her Boston baked beans. A saleswoman stops her little Ford and gets out to enter the lunchroom. She takes her satchel from force of habit and on it I see in bold black letters “Chew Kuycandall’s Gum,” and who carries it but Loretta Bustin! Next I can hear a cackling noise and a large white hen appears by magic on the screen. A sign which this extraordinary bird carries in her beak says, “Arnold, Miller Merithew, Poultry Farms.” A shot shatters the quiet of the room as, with a whir of wings, a flock of wild geese rise honking into the air. The disturber of their haunt appears with a smoking gun in his hand. As he stoops to gather the spoils of his brilliant markmanship I find that this woodsman is no other than Franklin Manahan. The music changes now to the chant of many voices which sounds like a jumble of Chinese lingo, and how Agness Koehler and Dorothea Otto can understand these little yellow people of the East is more than I can understand. They are truly missionaries in a strange land. On Broadway is an establishment run by the famous modiste, Cuddeback. Her model appears wearing one of her latest Persian gowns. In the trade mark of this I see the words designed by Edna Griffin, which assures a very quick sale. This great orator whom I hear cannot be Patrick Henry come to life, even though it sounds like him. It’s Pat, all right, but it is the “Pat” Everhart that we all used to know. Far down a dusty country road is a scene which makes every motorist tremble. It is a car in distress, but here comes a Good Samaritan, a garage man who proves to be Wayne McEntire. The damsel in distress by a trick of fate is Aline LaMont, who has an agency for selling Studebakers. And now I have given the report of the proper-sonalitic to the best of my ability, and if you doubt the veracity of it, please consult Bob Page because he was the one who is responsible for the invention of it.

Coach Bohner Coach Hazard Coach Scanned 1921-22 COACHES. Coach Lilley It is very essential to any athletic team to have someone who knows the game from start to finish at the head of the students to teach them the tricks of the game. The coach must note the faults of the players and correct them. Mr. Bohner gave the greater share of his time to the football team. He brought a fine set of signals from Susquehanna, and the hard drilling that the team got with these showed the results. Mr. Scanned, an Allegheny graduate, used his fine tactics of former days to perfection. With these two men working in cooperation, the team took form and came through on top. The basketball team was not as successful. The team did not seem to “hit their stride,” and the season’s results were not very encouraging. Mr. Bohner spent many hours with the fellows, but the team did not take many games. The baseball team does not stand much chance of capturing the cup again this year. Mr. Lilley is back, and we ad hope that he will be able to do as much with the fellows this year as he did last. Mr. Bohner is coaching the track, and we ad sincerely believe that old A. H. S. will make a good showing this year. The team is progressing rapidly and we have the right to be proud of those fellows who have faithfully practiced for the various events. The High School has also been represented by the Archons, a team made up of first and second year students. Their record has been fine, and we can rightfully say that the teacher who spent many evenings with these boys deserves much credit. Mr. Hazard, their coach, always observing, always changing for the better, made a winning team of these boys. ATHLETICS The formation of the Susquehanna Valley Interscholastic Athletic Association has brought a new era in the history of athletics in Athens. In the first year of its trial this system has proved highly satisfactory, and, as it becomes better organized in future years, it will be a deciding factor in the betterment of athletics in the county. This year has also seen a change in coaches, and we are glad to welcome such leaders as Mr. Scanned, Mr. Bohner, Mr. Lilley, and Mr. Carpenter. Although in the first year of their work, they have already become highly popular with the student body as well as with those who have been under their immediate supervision. Athens has always turned out a good team in her major sport, football, and the team of this year was no exception to that rule. By holding Corning Free Academy to a low score at the beginning of the season, she startled the football world, and during the completion of the schedule the team of 1921 made an enviable record for itself. In basketball the team was not successful and made a poor record. The material did not develop that type of teamwork which is evident in those teams which have played together for a number of years. We predict that from the material we will have for next year a wonderful team will hold up Athens High's banner. The baseball season of the spring of 1921, following closely upon the heels of departing basketball, found a sufficient number of veterans on the diamond to augur well for Athens High's entrance into the S. V. I. A. A. The schedule was very creditably played, and at all times it was evident that we were going to win the cup. This year's baseball season has not been very successful as yet. We all hope that the team will get together and play a good game the rest of the season. The track team is working hard and as the field meet is going to be held in our “home town we hope to get a few of the trophies for our school. OUR A MEN. MARSHALL VANSCOTEN. Captain Football, Basketball, Manager Baseball. “Van, the Old Reliable, became a recognized star in his department. In football he was a hard man to stop and a consistent ground gainer, while passes directed his way were very liable to be foiled if they came from the opponents. In basketball his excellent playing at center was hard to equal. As manager of the baseball team he is surely a success. VINCENT HAIR. Football, Basketball, Baseball. “Vince proved himself worthy of all confidence. In football he never saved himself but was always into the hardest plays with a punch. In basketball he played forward and seldom failed to slip one over on his opponents. In baseball he is starring. His speed and accuracy make him a valuable man. OSCAR HEDRICK. Football, Captain Basketball, Baseball. “Occy was a fast man. In football he was especially apt in breaking up interference; he never lost an opportunity to “scupper a man from behind. He was one of the best tacklers on the team and handled forward passes effectively. In basketball he was hard to equal for speed. In baseball he is making good. He can hit as well as handle the field. ANDREW WHITE. Football, Baseball, Basketball. “Andy was one of the grittiest men on the football field. He was a good tackier and always put up a plucky fight. By blocking plays in the last few minutes of play he saved many defeats for us. In basketball, he sure could “slip them through the ring. In baseball, although in his first year on the team, he is showing “the stuff. WENDELL ANDREWS. Football Captain-elect, Basketball. “Wen, a speedy end, excelled in going down under punts and breaking up interference. His work with forward passes at Towanda was phenomenal, showing him to be a gridiron performer of sterling ability. In basketball he always kept the opponents guessing, and by good guarding prevented many baskets. JOHN BAILER. Football, Basketball. “Johnny worked hard every minute of the game and was in every play until the final whistle. At tackle he was part' of the stone wall that met the repeated onsets of play, and his offensive work was exceptional. In basketball he showed what a good guard could do. WAYNE McENTIRE. Football, Baseball. “Mac” was a man for line and backfield. He was an all-around player but strongest on the defense. His work in the back field always impressed our opponents with his presence. In baseball, his work behind the bat is hard to equal. His batting average ATHENIAN is “way up.” Few errors are marked against him. We hope he will continue throughout the season. CHARLES SMITH. Football, Baseball. “Smithy” was a whale of a fullback. His strong offensive, his execution of forward passes, and his remarkable punting marked him as a man to be reckoned with all through the game. In baseball he holds down the initial sack to perfection. AMOS CREDIFORD. Football, Baseball. “Ame” always played a steady and consistent game. His work at guard was not sensational, but with his motto in a game as “Do or Die,” he could be depended upon in an emergency. In baseball, his work on the “hot comer” helps old A. H. S.’s victories. JOHN LOWE. Football, Baseball. “Johnny,” the pivot of the team, was so sure in passing that hardly a bad one was marked against him. His tackles were low and powerful and proved a great asset to the secondary defense. In baseball he makes the pitchers work and can handle his corner of the field well. ROBERT PAGE. Football. “Bob was one of the cleverest players on the team. He was good at dodging, and once in an open field, there were few that could stop him. “Bob” starred in running back punts, tackling on the secondary defense, and in making broken field runs. GEORGE OVERFIELD. Football. “O” was especially forceful on the defensive, and at no time could the opponents gain to great advantage through him. He was a cool and steady player, and his aggressiveness at all times was praiseworthy. LEROY EVERHART. Football. “Pat” did very creditable work in that position. His playing was characterized as fast and snappy, and a more dependable player can not be found. He was especially good in breaking up the interference, and the same in getting his man. JOB MORLEY. Baseball. “Job” as a pitcher is unsurpassed in the League. He can play shortstop effectively, and as a baseman he has already shown what makes up a good one. In general, we will all agree that he is a real ball player. With the “stick” he is hard to equal. LOUIS BEACH. Football, Baseball. • “Louie” played his position at center in a creditable manner. He was always accurate and reliable in passing the ball and by quick charging through the opposing defense he blocked many plays. In baseball he is equally good. He will star in all the sports next year. Come back and work hard, “Beachy.” MAURICE PARKS. Baseball. Maurice is a natural-born pitcher and is surely coming through on top this season. His ability to make the ball do anything but follow a straight and narrow path is well known. DEWITT LONG. Football. DeWilt is a backfield man of rangy ability. He was good as a quarterback, halfback or fullback. Although he did not play regularly this year we all hope that he will be with the team next year. LELAND FR1EDENBURG. Football. “Lee,” although handicapped by illness, played the greater part of the season. He was a halfback, and one of the cleverest players on the team. He played in several of the biggest games of the sea-season and demonstrated to all his ability as a warrior of the gridiron. FREDERICK BROWN. Football. Fred was one of the old guard. He was quick to diagnose a play, and could be depended upon to get into it. He was an all-around player and surely made up a good part of our eleven. EUGENE WINTERS. “Gene” had hard luck at the very first of the season. He was a star of the first magnitude. We are all sure he would have made good in every branch of our athletics. His ability as a player has not passed unnoticed by the Faculty and students. MARKLE WELLS. “Mark” also had “tough luck.” Although the season was well started when he was hurt, we are all positive that he too would have made good. He was also a track man, and we regret that he will not be able to participate in that part of athletics. Edward Segar, ’22. OUR OPPONENTS. It is due every team that we have played throughout the athletic season of 1921-22 that we make some recognition of the fine treatment we have received. The teams that have played in our own town have all played a clean game. In football, Mansfield, Corning and Tunkhannock visited us. The teams all had their good players and these fellows demonstrated their ability in a manly way while visiting us. Our own team took ATHENIAN trips to Tunkhannock and to Cook Academy. The Tunkhannock team was very courteous, and although the teams had to play in an unmowed field, everything went fine. At Cook Academy everyone had a very enjoyable time. Dinner was served to our fellows in the large dining hall with the student body of the academy. After the game we were delayed in starting, and lunch was served to the team before they started for home. We hope to play Cook again, not only for the game but for the fine treatment we received. The S. V. I. A. A. League is promoting this same kind of treatment in our valley towns. The teams of this league which were defeated by us took the defeat in a way which should make any town proud to possess a team of their kind. Each of the teams of the league has a fine field for football and baseball as well as a good court for basketball. There is no reason why each town cannot have clean sports of all kinds with the S. V. I. A. A. at the he: d. And next year with Troy and Canton in the football schedule each of the six towns will be represented in football, basketball, baseball and track. It is probable that some of the trophies held by the larger schools will pass on to these teams. One never can tell what kind of a surprise will be presented. Let's cdopt the motto, “Good Losers and Clean Playing Will Make Clean Sports for the S. V. I. A. A ' Edward Segar, ’22. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM. “Good-bye, partners, we’re going to leave you now,” the Senior basket tossers are singing. The team of 1922, composed of a fast H. S. five, will be hard hit by graduation. Frisbie, Hair, Stevens, and Miller are b:dd:ng their Alma Mater farewell. Some captain! Mary Hair sure deserves credit for the splcnd:d leadership which she exercised over her wnywrrd flock of players. She could talk a blue streak, and her playing came up to the same standard. “Oh, you center.” How Rita Frisbie could bat th°t ball! She outjumped the best of ’em, and we ell know she was a genuine player. Rita was always there when basketball was mentioned. “A star in her own sky.” When Dorothy Lilley loomed before us we did not sit up and take notice; but when she played her first game—well, “Joe” sure was a star basket tosser and we cannot give her too much credit. “I’m always left out in the cold.” No, Dot, we don’t mean to slight you. When Dorothy Page guarded, it was useless to attempt to escape. She was a guard from the word go, and she was a valuable aid to our team. “Co-operation helps.” Yes, Anna, we all know you were always there with the teamwork. As a forward, Anna showed us she could play ball. “Little, but Oh, My!” That’s what they said when Marguerite Kiess stepped forward. “Kiessie” was a “minute-man” and was just like lightning when she struck the basketball floor. “Good management.” Nora, we congratulate you. You managed that team very well. Nora did not play ball but she fulfilled her duty as manager with the greatest competence. Perhaps we should have put him first. But the last shall be first, so here we come with three cheers for our coach. He knew the game and he worked hard training the players and developing the new material. The result was a splendid team, and we give all credit to Coach Bohner for his work. The team of ’22 is no more. A few of the players remain. Get some spirit and let’s have the team of ’23 a champion quintet! Geraldine Miller, ’22. THE ARC HONS. The Archon Basketball team was a team newly organized this year, composed of lightweight players picked from the High School. This team, however, established a fine record of which they are proud. They won ten games and lost but three, and rrrde 338 points while their opponents made but 187—a record on which the High School looks with envy. Much credit is due to their coach, Mr. Hazard, who developed them into one of the best lightweight teams in the county. Those who stuck faithfully to the squad all season rre as follows: A.mos Crediford, Ed Drake, Sumner Drake, Allen Gould, Harry Stickles, John Ward, John Lowe, Henry Otto, Robert Park, Charles E. Smith, Donald Watson, Fred Watson, Carl Russell, Albert North, Stanley Gould, Harold Page, and Norman Koehler. A.rchons Opponents 18 South Waverly H.

In 1917, when the High School building burned, all the paraphernalia of the track team was lost. It consisted of hammers for hammer throwing, pole vault, hurdles and jumping standards. It has been five years since the catastrophe and last year, under the captaincy of Wendell Andrews, the track team made such a good showing that this year the High School secured equipment which placed the team in first-class condition. Both the fellows and the girls turned out well for practice, and under Captain Wendell Andrews and Manager Edward Segar, the track meet held May 16 proved to be the best one ever held by the High School. Several records mrde in the former meets were broken, which showed that all the team needed was good equipment to obtain results. A loving cup will be given to the Class of 1924 which took first place by winning 61 points. Medals will be given also to those winning first place in each event. The giving of the cup and medals hrd a tendency to make the team work hard for the S. V. I. A. A. track meet.

We know you have quite a few stars in athletics v nd you.r class spirit is always bubbling over, especially when it is time for class dues. Some of you seem to have more of this spirit than others, for instance William McGee and Edward Patterson, who seem to have “an oar in every man’s boat and a linger in every man's pie.” There arc a few in your class who were with us for awhile.

We advise you both to take up the acting of Sh kesoerean plays. You would make an excellent teacher, Jenny; so study hard and be a Latin and French teacher. Dr Witt undoubtedly will make a wortderful scien- ?t ''rd explorer. Incidentally' he has discovert IV t “Prrlcz-vors frnmmis?” means “Do you speak ATHENIAN French?” Shorty, you should also take up Latin ulong with your French.

We think it would be better, Edward, if you did not make yourself quite so conspicuous in West Sayre . bout 7:30 after this. William O'Mara will make a good husband, but if “she” should chance to be a suffragette, be lenient with her. Give them what they want, Bill; that's the best policy in the long run. As Salome, Al, you were not afraid of the snakes, so why be afraid of the fairer sex? They are perfectly harmless. Bob Parks and Donald Patton, we know your scientific ability.

Oh, Seniors, so worldly wise, we humble Juniors thmk vou for your good rdvice. We believe, however, that you have leaned a bit heavily upon our faults. Some of us w'ere wuth you a short time, but long enough to know that you have oome faults along with your good qualities. Therefore, Seniors, as a few parting words take this bit of appreciation from the Juniors. Old A. H. S. will never forget those bright students of your class, Hazel and Alta Middaugh, along with Victoria Moore, Laura Horton, and Agness; all are wizards in French. Behold Henning, Grodi-vant and Carle, who have done wonders for our school both in studies and in the print shop. The Senior girls come in for their share of the cake both in studies and in athletics. Anna Stevens, Jerry Miller, Mary Hair, and Rita Frisbie—all are stars in basketball, with Nora Watson as manager. By the w y, if there is anything in that “laugh and grow fat,” what a jolly girl you must be, Nora! Van, I hear you have a wonderful voice. They say you c n s ng s well as you play football. Did you ever think of taking Caruso's place? Linda Snlsman surely c n write poems. She has done splendid work for The Athenian all during her course in school. Loretta and Ar.dy come to school every d ly, sometimes a tride late. They h: d two means of transportation: If the Fold didn't work, as they some- times d n't, all Ar.dy h: d to do was to harness the old grey nr re. Amos Crcdiford is a 1 dies man, also an athlete. II s prowess in football, along with other goed qualities, hr s won him many friends. How proi d the Seniors are of Betty Powers! We don’t blame them. There is in alumnus very pro. d of her also. Seth Grcdivant, your class president, really d?-serves the wreath of laurel. 'Tis said that Jerry Miller has broken many hearts. Must be that Mark's is made of truest steel. Hazel Arnold hails from out of town. Hazel's silence is golden, but you musn't carry it too far. Bob Page, the man of ability! Bob is equally as good with a wireless, auto or airplane as he is in football. He sure tore up Sayre's line. “Unknown French Words” is a new book by Pauline Kuykendall. It is an original method by a youthful scholar. W sn't it nice of Mac to wait until this year to graduate? It would have been long and tiresome for Aline without his protection. Say, Mac, we are going to miss those quiet rides from Towanda after the football games. The only thing I can say for Vivian Gay is, Made to be happy, ready to sing; fond of candy, and everything. That fits her perfectly. Don't you think so? We banked on Stanley White to run a movie show, and now he's going to be a soldier. Well, Stan, when at West Point remember what Sherman said. George, that tickling feeling around your heart is ATHENIAN caused by red bobbed hair. She will soon be home, George, and maybe she'll sing for you. Clara Samson comes from Main Street, Milan. She is another maiden who has lost her heart to a brave Athenian warrior. It is easy to see that John Carpenter has thought a lot about that old saying, “Young boys should be seen and not heaid.” Ted Seg.ir, many times has it been said, but I fear I must tell you, “Faint heart never won fair ! ,1,.- 1 hear the Senior boys all had broken arms on Arbor Day. That is the reason the Seniors did not plant a tree. The cause is not justifiable. It is quite the thing for girls to do work like this. Anna Stevens is happy every season of the year, but I noticed the smile broadens a great deal in . rs. Now, Seniors, I must give you a little advice: to the boys I must say, the early bird catches the worm. I would advise you to invest in an alarm clock. This will apply to the girls: If you don't get the first man, try again and remember, “There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught. Aloysius Watson, '23. SO FAR, SO GOOD. When we entered High School on September 5, 1919, we were a fine looking bunch of thirty, with twice : s many boys as girls; and although we were every bit as green as any of the classes that pre-ccd d us, we showed rare talent and wonderful promise; for we soon gained the reputation of being one of the noisiest classes that ever struck A. H. S. Under the guidance, however, of our class teacher, Mirr Winter, we soon had a standing in the school. As the laws governing First Year students at that time in regard to class organizations were more rigid than they are now, our class was not organized that year, although we were allowed to have two Athenian editors, Edward Patterson and Elizabeth North, ar.d also the Archon Society was revived by the boys. About the only social event of that year was a banquet held by this society with Miss Curtiss and Miss Winter as guests. The next year Miss Tyrrell and Mr. Witmer were our class teachers. The first thing we did on becoming Second Year students was to organize our class. William O'Mara was elected President; Beatrice Abrams, Vice President; Elizabeth North, Secretary, and Mr. Witmer, Treasurer. Clifton Lynch and Gertrude Quinn were our Athenian editors. Not wishing Mr. Witmer to remain idle in his position as Treasurer, the class got busy and earned some money for him to take care of. We put on a picture at The Morley and from this venture we cleared over fifty dollars. From that time until the present we have regarded ourselves as a class of some “class. This year we became Juniors, with Miss Hull and Miss Hornet as our class teachers. DeWitt Long w.s elected class President; John Lowe, Vice Pres-!d nt; Dorothy Rockwell, Secretary, and Miss Hull, Treasurer. Edward Patterson and Beatrice Abrams arc our Athenian editors. In the general High Ccl.col election one of our number, Wendell Andrews, was elected President of the High School. This spring the school observed Arbor Day, and oi.r class planted a tree which it dedicated to the memory of John Burroughs. From all outward ap-pe; i nets the tree is doing splendidly and shows promise of becoming a lasting monument to the Class of '23. Next ye; r we ell hope to be Seniors and will do o r very best to keep up our good class record. So f r we : re more than keeping up our record in re-g :d to keeping the number of boys twice that of the gi .s, r.d it mi st be noted that in February no mcm-b r of the class was forced to return to the Second Year class. William O'Mara, '23. TIIE C HOICE OF THE JUNIORS. Time c: 11s in his thundering voice, Wilh :g.d but musical strains, “ .waken Juniors, the Seniors have gone, r.d you are to take up the reins. “Fate and fortune I'll send you, The choice is for you to make. Remember your lives are swaying, So be careful which one you take.” So said the keeper of ages, A_nd his voice will be heard no more; Fear not, friends, fortune is our choice, And our motto on high shall soar.

When school began, a number of the members of lust year's orchestra went before the School Board to see about this year's orchestra. They d jcid d to supply i s with a director if we would stick together. The orchestra met under the supervision of Mrs. Frederick Overfield. They decided to have a meeting twice a week, also to play at chapel each Fridiy when possible. We practiced very h rd for a few weeks i rd then we were re: dy for our first appearance. Our first piece was played a little nervously, bi t when we were cncorrd we took up new hope and played with a will. We were kept re 1 b’sy for : bout twenty minutes. Then rft r r. few more weeks of practice we were re dy for o r first p blic : ppearanee. Th’s was in the High School at a lecture given by Mr. M. M. Wocd We play'd o r b n:, which was none too goed, although it filled in the programme But this w; s net goed enough for us. Wc rr-'cticcd more rr.d prep: red for a concert to be g.V n d ring “Music Week at the Morley The ter. This we consd rcd the climax for the ye r. Mrs. Overfield, who has so successfully I d us, and Miss Miller, who accomp: nics with the piano, deserve much pr. ise for their patience rrd help. If, rlong with the little knowledge we alre. dy hive and help, g .‘ncd through Mrs. Overficld, some of us shor’d go awry to some conservatory of music and st . dy real herd, perchance one of us will r nk al ng with the best. Anywry we are hoping for the best. E rl Lungir, '23. THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA. Oh, fellows, it's some feeling When upon our ears is stealing The oriental, sentimental hum Of the clarinet, the saxophone and drum. Your he- d gets all a-whirling While the music's round you curling With a weird, wild strain sublime. Soon your feet c itch up the time, Your spirit fairly seems to so r, The variations are galore. Of all the year the happiest d ys Are vhrn the High School Orchestra plays. Clifton Lynch, '23. WHAT’S IN A NAME? The Juniors, after d !e consideration, voted to add to its st’udy maple the dignity of the name of John Burroughs. There rrc meny reasons why the name rf the gre t n-tvrelist is fitting for this tree. First ef all. he loved trees rnd words and Nature's shade; k s c- bin home along the Hudson was in the midst of the woeds, and it was while returning to his home from a visit in California that he died. It is said that he knew more about birds than any other man, end so we plant “A tree that may, in summer, wear A nest of robins in her hair; for would not the name of their great friend be an assurance of welcome and security to our feathered visitors ? Lastly, as a memorial to this famous man, a tree, although attended with more risk and troubles than : n engraved stone block, seems a truer monument to his life with Nature, ar.d we may say, changing only one word of Joyce Kilmer: T think that I shall never see A statue lovely as a tree. Jennie Roberts, '23. A FIRM FOUNDATION. We Jmiors, like the others, Did plant a maple tree. Huge stones we placed upon its roots So it's : s solid cs can be. Now when we're old and ag .d And the tempests roar and blast, Our tree will stand erect For its roots are : nehored fast. Clifton Lynch, '23. JUNIOR CLASS. D. R.

Would you stand rnd see your colors dragged in the dust or mud of a battlefield ? Would you live for your school ? Or would you rather live for your own e rsonal glory? What kind of a player would you h’i'e to be? Are you trying to outshine the other '-iV,.,. or work hard and play teamwork? These rs«nc of the question; that arc often put before a soldier. They are now being put before you. After all, when you stop to think about it, school is like an army. You are training for life. The discipline that you get in school and on the athletic field helps you to handle yourself in the future. Are you still fighting for A. H. S. ? Would you die fighting for the blue and white? It isn’t the personal glory that counts in this life. It’s the fellow or girl who puts every ounce of strength they have into their work and play that counts. I’ve known of fellows, and probably you have, who have died on the football field. Did they die fighting for their school ? No other answer but one, Yes. He might even have been the worst player, but he died fighting. He gave his life that his school colors might never drop in the dust. Oh, might the students get more of this spirit! You might not be called upon to make such a sacrifice, b t you can still keep the right spirit. These things c n be applied to the Congress of the High School. Tn the days of the Civil War you have heard stories, or your grandfathers tell, how often the last man to fall would be the flag boy. It was his duty, “we understand that,” but if he had been “yellow” he wouldn’t have done that. He was doing it for the ' my brek of him. So let us in our school work rrd in our gernes be as the flag boy—stand firm until the end. Wendell Andrews, '23. 1IIE CLASS OF 1924. V e, the Class of 1924, entered the High School in I ptember, 1920. We lied the largest class that ever entered the High School. Everything was strange and we were green, nevertheless we were represented in football by Hair, White, Hedrick and Winters. k chick w. s : iso a member of the basketball team. Job ITcrlcy, the captain, and Hedrick helped to win the trophy. The second year life started out a great deal dif-f r ntly : s we were a smaller class, dwindling down to r bout forty. We started out with lots of pep : nd wen the American Legion prize for selling the mest tickets on Tag Day at the Fair. Then came the football season and the championship. John Bailer, one of our class, helped win the trophy, and Eugene Winters had the misfortune to break his leg before any of the games were played. In basketball we were represented by Bailer. Although this team was not successful in winning games, they played them with true High School spirit. In basketball, the Class of ’24 had three members, Misses Lilley, Page and Kiess. The Class of 1924 took both prizes in the speaking contest held in the auditorium. Mildred Brown axd Stevens Smith were the winners. At the contest ATHENIAN .. . 1 :,t i'owanda, Mildred Brown w„s award d sac-o; d prize. The track meet of the High School w s held on t!ie Fair grounds, and the Class of 1924 walked ■ way with the cup. Harris, Stevens Smith, Cahill, Dili, and Kreamer, and Misses Pruyne, Brown, Lil-!ey, Kicss, and Quinn helped to win the cup. The Class of 1924 is going after the Alumni prize for scholarship, and the other classes will have to work to equal them. Edwin Drake, ’24. CLASS ALPHABET.

CLASS MOTTO. ’No Victory Withoit Libor’’ is the second year cl: es motto. This, it appears, is very true. Success is not rcidily attained nor easily gained. It takes actual work to a.ttcin the real success. Success, ac-coiding to worldly ways, may be gain d by fr.id-t lent r.d corrupt meins, but this is not a victory. Victory only comes after a hard-fought battle; after you have conquered resisting foes. On the oitfide success may be visible, but unless it is actually felt on the inside, it is not a victory. People who g in this kind of success should not flatter their selves or transform themselves into braggarts. Nearly everyone has a different foe to overcome, ar.d when they themselves know that they have conquered it—that is true success. Our class as individuals has many things to conquer, as every other class has. However, we will work with re; 1 spirit ar.d zeal to overcome our difficulties so as to know wh t true success is. Th”s with this view we have decided to adopt this motto, “No Victory Without Labor.” Fred L. Watson, ’24. THE FRESHMAN CLASS. The Freshman Class of 1921-22 is very large. Thro were a few who had been Freshmen last year, and there were a great many who came in from the Eighth Grade. Being such a large class, we should do great things in the future. The Freshmen boys are all good athletes. They can play football, as they proved last fall, also basketball end baseball. They never have done much in track in this school, but among the class this year there proves to be some good material. ATHENIAN There are some good students also and wc will carry off prizes in headwork some d.iy, together with athletic prizes. We proved by the contest cn “Care of the Teeth” that some could write well and gain honorable mention. The girls of the Freshman Class are not far behind the boys. They all can make things go lively in one way or another and they expect soon to show that they know how to make money. Every one of them wants to go to Washington at the end of the Senior year. We all will have to work hard to g.t money cnoi gh, for we hope to be as large and liv„ a class then as now. Margaret Buckley, 25. FRESHMAN CLASS 1921-22. Colors—Lavender and silver.

Irva Kenyon, ’25. FRESHMAN THOUGHTS. The Freshman Class has tried to enter into the high school activities and make themselves known to the other classes in the high school. We have succeed d in doing this in football, basketball and base-L. ii. e also feel that we were not so far behind in the track meet. The class also gained some honor cn the theme, “Care of the Teeth.” Wc hope to go through high school with the right spirit, and to try to have nothing against us as a barrier. Nearly everyone is working hard to make the Freshman points and to become Sophomores. We are willing to assume the new responsibilities n.d d.itics and vo strive to bring credit to our class.

HOPES AND AMBITIONS OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS. The Freshman Class started their High School career in September, 1921. When they entered, it was with one of the largest classes that h;d ever entered Athens High School. The class taken as a whole has had very good averages, and we hope to do the same or better in the thr£e remaining years. The class also has excelled in athletics of all kinds. Baseball, basketball, football and track have had their share of Freshmen trying for positions on one team or the other. Many of them have made good records. When the class graduates from Athens High School, may it leave one of the best records ever known in the school. Harold Page, ’25. FUTURE SUCCESS. Our class is one of many lads, But not many lasses have we. We never can quite fully express Our plans for the next years three. But of one thing we’re very sure. We all will win success. The old High School will be glad to give Three cheers for the ’25 class. Isabelle Sairs, ’25. PATRICIA.
