PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Fellow students and classmates of 1927, when you leave this school you are leaving the happy-go-lucky days and carefree moments of your high school life. In the last four years when you felt like lying down on the job, you had several teachers pushing from behind and helping you along. They wouldn’t let you fail. After this year, what then? Most of you little realize how much you have relied upon this help. Now that you are through, you are on your own; start paddling your own canoe and make your motto the same as it has been for the last four years, “M e lead, others follow.” The knowledge that you have gained in these four years is the momentum you have when you leave. Make the most of this momentum, and with your success you will have paid the debt you owe to your Alma Mater. As we leave this school we are treading the same path that other classes have trod. In our wake is the class of 1928. They have been very friendly and there has been none of the rivalry that other upper classes have experienced. Next year they will step up and take our place and to them we extend our best wishes for their success. Richard Johnston '27 STATISTICS The members of the Senior Class have held a prominent place during their four years in high school. The following table shows the per cent of their number engaged in various high school activities: 1924 1925 1926 1927 Football 20 20 20 20 Basketball 10 34 34 Baseball 7 32 21 Music 15 18 27 27 Dramatics SENIOR PICTURES 97 100 “Oh, look, girls! Isn’t he cute?” “Isn’t he tho?” “Ah, bless his heart.” “Isn’t that too cute for words?” “Here’s a cute one! I bet it’s Torpey, isn’t he cunning?” “I like that one best, it’s Dick Johnston.” “I think Herbert’s is awfully cute, here it is, isn’t it cute, tho?” “And I think Harvey’s is just darling, don’t you?” Don’t be alarmed, dear readers; it’s only the Senior girls rhapsodizing over the baby pictures.

I came across on the good ship Curtiss-Crediford, commanded by no other than our old friend Al” Carpenter, who conducts co-educational student tours. On board was “Ed” Manahan returning from the Olympic meet where he captured a few first places. Ted Shumvvay’s incomparable orchestra was playing on the boat and he is fast becoming a rival of (ieorge Olsen and Paul W hiteman. My thoughts ran on and before I knew it, the conductor called “Next stop, Athens,” and the train slowed to a stop with grinding brakes. How good it seemed to be home again and how peaceful Athens looked! A horn screamed and looking up I beheld a low-slung car approaching, driven by the dashing “Fran” Layman who, in her saner moments, is an excellent physical training instructor at W ellesley. With her is the former Elizabeth Loveland who has posed as the Madonna for so many of my portraits. 1 jumped in and we dashed off down the street amid breathless questions and still more breathless answers. 1 learned that Winifred Maguire that very day had been run down by the recently-installed noiseless street cars, and that Herbert Bidlack, the peach-king of the south, who alwavs evinced a liking for peaches in his high school days, had just arrived. As we passed the old United, we saw the big circus man “Eb” Brewer, formerly known as the cigar store Indian, talking with Charles Thorp, the noted football coach. W e drove on down the road and drew up in front of the house. “.See you later,” I called as I went into the house. Home after all these years! Tonight we would be together again for a short time—all too short. No matter what the years may bring, our hearts will always hold a place dear for Athens and our high school days. Sincerely, Amelia Kelley THE STORM I love the hustle and the rustle, That comes before the rain; The excited little flurry, As leaves whirl down the lane; Little children run about To gather in some toy. Mothers call and windows fall, Doors bang, then all is still. Trees sway as though in fear. A distant growl of thunder A flash—the storm is here! Amelia Kellev '27 Page twenty-jour
