THE OLD ACADEMY Athens Academy, the most noted seat of learning in northern Pennsylvania, was erected in 1797. On account of lack of funds, the building was not completed until 1814. School was then held there continuously until 1868, graded school being introduced at that time. About 1840, the students began publishing a weekly paper called “The Athenian.” The terms of tuition are interesting; a term consisted of eleven weeks. Arithmetic, English Grammar, and Geography.....................$2.50 Rhetoric, History, Logic, Mathematics, and the Natural Sciences $4.00 Reading, Writing, and Spelling.................................$1.50 Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, and Painting....................$5.00 Music, extra charge. Students were boarded for from $1.50 to $2.00 per week. To help bear expenses, different religious associations and the Masonic Lodge used the building. Athens lost a dearly loved landmark in 1925 when it became necessary to tear EDITORIAL BOARD First Row—Eugene Eddy, Clarence Richardson, Kathryn Fox, Gladys Keir, Marguerite Engler, James McMahan.

As you read Volume XVI of the Annual do you wonder what it is published for and what it really holds for you? Some may think it is published as a method of making money. This is not true; for nothing is made from it financially. Its real purpose is to record the events of the school year, you'r class and classmates, school activities and athletics in such a manner that you can keep them for later days. When you have grown old and you are sitting around the fire, you can recall those four years which you spent in Athens High School. The Annual of 1928 does not belong wholly to the Seniors, although the greater share of it is given over to them. This is as it should be. When one graduates he wants all activities, classmates and clubs in some form that will keep them for him. This is why the Seniors seem to have the Annual largely devoted to their interests. The Annual for 1928 has in it pictures and articles representing the lately-established Junior High School. This admits them into an interest in the Annual, which will make it more valuable to them in their High School days. You will find scenes of surrounding hills, or of some historic background. These should increase your pride in the beautiful town of Athens. When you come to the Athletic section you will notice that not only the whole football squad is shown hut also the letter men in individual pictures. Both the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams are shown with the personnel of the players. The advertising section is very large. The valley merchants have supported The Athenian very generously and we cannot thank them too much. It has given me great pleasure to work on this Annual and I hope that it will meet with your approval. —Harlan Rowe ‘28. CLASS PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Members of the Class of '28, in the four short years spent in dear old Athens High School, you have left a record that will go down in the pages of the history of your school. You have taken part in every form of school activity as it was your desire to raise the standard of Athens High School. In student government, public speaking, societies, and athletics you have left your mark. You have made a good scholastic record. A great deal of credit is due to the teachers who have spent unnumbered hours helping you. Book knowledge wasn’t all that you received but you developed traits of character which will follow you the rest of your lives. When you leave Athens High School, whether you go to college or to work, keep up that same spirit and work with a will. Strive to play your part of the game on the square as you did in school. If you will always remember the ideals of your high school days when you are out in the different walks of life, you are sure to succeed. So don’t forget those wonderful years and your work surely will not be in vain. Now the Class of ’28 has a few words to say in regard to the classes of Athens High School that will some day take our place. The Class of '29 seems to have wonderful prospects. We are leaving many vacancies for them to fill. And may they reach even a higher standard than we have. The Class of '30 is a class to be proud of. Although they appear to be happy-go-lucky and carefree, they are a group of good students with a lot of school spirit. The Class of ’31 is a fine class and chances for their success are very bright. The Class of ’28 looks forward to Commencement day from more than one point of view. This day we have looked forward to for four years. But now that it is here, it is not so bright. W e are leaving our dear Alma Mater. But the friends and wonderful times we have had will always remain in our hearts. How wonderful it would be to be able to come back next year just for friendship’s sake alone, but we must go and see what the world holds in store for us. No matter how little or how great our fame may be. our memories will always be with Athens High School. And our friends we made there will never be forgotten. Underclassmen, may your high school days be even happier than ours. We heartily bid you all farewell. —Frank Schrier '28. Here we are Seniors. It doesn’t seem possible that we have been in Athens High School for four years. It seems but a few days since we were wishing we were Seniors and were about to leave high school, but that isn't the way most of us feel now. We wish we were Freshmen just starting in. The success of the many activities of the high school are due to a great extent to the Seniors. In footfall this year’s letter men were Tom Spear, captain; Kermit Giess, manager; Millard Northrup and James Lynch. Other lettermen of our class are Owen Gerould and Charles Mills who received their letters in '27. The basketball teams have had a very successful vear due largely to the captains, Esther Winters and Tom Spear. Harlan Rowe, as managing editor and Charles Mills as business manager, are responsible for the success of “The Athenian.” In our Junior and Senior year, Carol Rogers, our class orator, won prizes in the interclass speaking contest, winning the first prize this year. In our Junior year the leading parts in the operetta were successfully filled by the following: Ann Campbell, Tom Spear. Robert Russell and Maurice Decker. The students holding the highest honors of the class of 1928 are Ann Campbell, valedictorian; Catherine Ramey, salutatorian. In our Senior year we find the enrollment has been decreased very much since our Freshman year. The Seniors who have entered from other schools are: Hazel Carpenter. Marion DuBert, Charlotte Bennett. Mary Struble, Ona Mills, Carol Rogers. Reva Morley and Martha Lenox. This ends the history of the Senior year, and we are hoping that we will be as successful in the future as we have been in these four years. —Margaret Cullen '28. cic mey mil mine, my neart would heavy he. T have no thoughts, so dear, so bright, so true As the happy hours spent, dear High, with you. The path looks long that reaches to my star, Still I can see it. gleaming from afar. Athens shall send me on my way to fame, Athens shall some day be proud of my small name. Chorus Give me those days, those faces that I love: They are a heaven, like unto that above; Give me those hours, drifting now from me, My hopes forever kindled there with thee. —Mary Struble ’28. + + + DREAMERS We are dreamers all, every one of us, We drift down a stream of thought; Sometimes we dream of Luck. Sometimes we dream of Love. Our thoughts lead us ever forward, We do not think of the past. Dreams do not make cowards; Ambitions are dreams which last. We want our dreams to come true. We don't want them to fade. e want to say when we are through, “ Those are the dreams which T made.” 1 here! my dream is shattered! It was but a dream, but yet it mattered. p Page fifteen age sixteen Athenian 1 c CHARLOTTE BENNETT “Benny” “Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the roul.''

ESTHER WINTERS “Wink” It has been a custom since 1913 for all the members of the Senior class to take part in a play at Commencement.

Evening about mid August. Act 4. The Parcher porch. Page twenty-four ’Twas the night before April Fool’s day that 1 answered an urgent telephone summons from Frank Schrier. I made my way as rapidly as possible to his house. Frank, as most of you know, had just completed a perpetual motion machine, and being elated over his success started to work on a “fourth dimension machine.” As soon as 1 entered he took me to a room and showed me what looked like a mirror in a phonograph. He began explaining what it was and told me that he was going to try it out for the first time and wanted me there. W’e both sat down in front of the machine, looking directly into the mirror. Frank opened the cabinet and turned the dials. He put the main one on number 1938 and a smaller one on New York. After he had finished manipulating the various devices on the front, he reached down and pulled a switch at the bottom of the machine. At once we see a marvelous scene, not unlike the ones of future cities that had been drawn by our artists. As the lens becomes focused we see Wall Street and within an office there is plainly visible, j. Tracy Converse. He appears to be dictating to Alice Hughes. She must be his private secretary. On one of the doors a short distance away there is a sign, “Charles E. Mills, Jr., Criminal Lawyer.” Let’s take a look in here. Well, would you look at that! Playing pinochle with him is Donald Francke. You could tell it was he by the way he yawns. By the documents lying around it seems that “Don” is trying to patent a medicine. Oh! I see. There’s a sign on that building over there that reads: Donald Francke, Pharmacist.” What’s this building? Part of New York University? I wonder if anyone is here that we know. Do you recognize that person giving the lecture? That’s Catherine Ramey! Look how she’s scowling; just like a teacher. She’s lecturing on proper foods. Must be a dietitian. Another room ! Carol Rogers teaching Dramatics’ who is this but Marian DuBert teaching English? still another, and Can’t be anyone else here because the mirror now shows, “New York Press!” bet I know who is here. Sure enough, there’s Harlan Rowe at the desk of the editor-in-chief. There comes Robert Hoag. I wonder if he is an office boy. No, he is foreman of the printing department. That must be a copy of the “Press” that he has there. Do you see what the headlines say?” “Zip” Lynch and Owen Gerould Shatter Records in Big Meet. I always thought they would break something. Page twenty-five This looks like a hospital. Charlotte Bennett. She did become a surgeon after all. Look at all the nurses—Margaret Cullen, Reva Morley, Hazel Carpenter, Marian Haynes, “Jo” Tremain, and Vera Harding. Our class sure turned out a hunch of nurses. Something new and entirely different, a theatre. Ann Campbell singing a lead! or is she calling someone? There’s Bob Russell standing on a box in full view of the audience waving his arms, Oh! I see, he's conducting the orchestra. I wonder who those two young ladies are sitting in that box. They are Pauline YanSchaick and Gladys Rogers. They each have small pads and seem to be writing. Who is that man coming in there? Harlan Rowe again? The girls have just handed him their papers. 1 understand; they evidently are critics. “Greenwich Village. This is some studio. There are Elva Grant and Ona Mills painting and talking to Mary Struble. They are congratulating Mary on her success in selling so many of her poems. The scene changes to some other building. It is a radio broadcasting station just being dedicated. Look on that stage, Frank and I both gasp for there are ourselves. Wonder who we are. We both have to make speeches, by the expressions on our faces. Here's a program, Station ATHENS,” financed by Martha Lenox. There she is over there. Look at those clothes! She must have become a banker after all. “Civil Engineer Tom Spear.” So that’s the reason I’ve got to be up on the stage. Electrical Engineer Glenn Wilcox, I wonder where he is, oh! 1 remember. he’s probably late. Metallurgist Millard Northrup—he has just arrived. W hat does it say about him? Why, this is the first all-metal building ever erected in the world. Radio Expert Frank Schrier—There you are, Frank ; your career is a success and you are up there making a speech. Builder Kerniit Giess. He must have inherited his father's foundry. Can’t look at ourselves any longer, Frank, because something else is appearing on the scene. Well, would you look at all the cows! See that sign over the gate—“Maurice Decker, Dairy Expert.” What’s that, jumping over there? Can’t be cows. It's a lot of dancers. There’s Maurice talking to Esther Winters. Who’s she calling? What is all this anyway? What’s that sign? Oh! “Esther Winters. Aesthetic Dancing and Gymnastics,” of course, might have known it. Over in that other big field are a lot of horses; they must belong to Maurice, too. Someone is riding one; it's Virginia Terry. Great Scott! Do you see that sign—“Terry’s Thorobred Horses.” I wonder what happened ; there are no more pictures. The machine is probably busted: well. Frank, I gotta be going, so long. —Tom Spear ’28.

The Class of '29 entered high school with an enrollment of eighty-nine. As is the custom, we were not organized as a class until the middle of the year. Owing to the work of our president. Howard Brown, the Annual prize for getting the largest number of paid subscriptions was awarded to us. Several from the class went in for athletics, but did not earn places on the first teams until the next year or two. Wilda Connolly and Phyllis Lynch won honors in the local speaking contest of 1927 and Roberta McClarty won second prize in 1928. One thing of which we are proud is the fact that we had the highest number of points in track last year. Quite a few members of our class have become well known through their good playing in football. They are Harry Drake. Edward Daniels, Paul Hair. Frank McCauley, Robert Flood, and Frank Baker. Until this year, basketball has been rather of a side line in our sports, but now it is one of the principal ones. Those of our class on the teams are Alda Thorp. Dorothy JBonser. Josephine Thurston. Marion Knowles, Harry Drake. Earl Beach and Carl Sage. Now we are looking forward to the Junior Stunts which will be given to earn money for the Junior-Senior banquet although by giving moving pictures, bake sales and parties we have about half the amount we will need We are hoping next year, though we have lost about one-half of our members, that we will be able to help in publishing the Annual as much and perhaps more than the Seniors who have come before us and that we will live up to the expectations of those interested in us.

We are the songsters that come with the leaves That are budding out on bushes and trees. We sing your praises every day, Because we're so happy in every way. Spring, wakened Spring, your praises we sing. We are crocuses that blossom in Spiring. Dear little flowers in purple and white. We try to make the new.world bright. We sing with gladness all the time Because the world is all in rhyme. Spring, gladsome Spring, your praises we sing. We’re pussywillows that come with the Spring. Our hard brown cloaks have burst and we. In furry white gowns, are now set tree To sing your praises all day long. We feel so glad and full of song. Spring, sunny Spring, your praises we sing.

Spring, welcome Spring, your praises we sing. We are the whole world that loves the Spring. Our faces are shining from joy of the new birth Of all the beautiful things on the earth. Of the wonders and beauties of nature we sing. Ood paints our old world just like new in the Spring. —Edith Howard ’29 We's Message I was gazing at the sky. Drifting clouds just floating bv. Dreaming, loo: When a hum I thought 1 heard. And 1 saw a silver bird Against the blue. It was flying straight and low Like an arrow from a bow. Like a dart it came flying on to me This great silver bird called “We,” Into my heart. In an ever soaring flight. Into a sky of inky night. It sailed on; But its message e’er will be In my heart, on life’s rough sea Just begun. Oh ! if ever I attain All the glory “We” has gained, I will say, “On a sunny day gone by I was gazing at the sky On life's way.” When a bird so grim and brave From the sky a message gave. Follow me. In a path so straight and true Stand alone in all you do As the ideal “We.” —Mary Struble ’28. o o o A Lady She’s a busy little lady In a cloak of orange and black; And she carries a hardshell All day upon her back.

The first event of importance in the Class of ’30 after the election of officers was the purchase of a blue and silver banner, which is hung at the front of the room. The Sophomores thought it would be a good plan to purchase pins this year and then get rings hke them when they become Juniors. A dance was given November 12. The gymnasium w’as decorated in blue and white. A St. Patrick’s dance was given March 17. It was very successful, because, more than one hundred invitations were sent to students of other high schools. We also had dancing classes in the gymnasium for those who wanted to get used to dancing before they came to the dance. The gymnasium was decorated in green and w’hite. The palm tree from Miss Bush’s room was in the center of the floor. Those who attended were pleased with everything. Mrs. Baer suggested that we beautify the high school grounds by planting flowers, vines and shrubbery. Everybody seemed to think it a wonderful plan. We received much co-operation from all who heard of the plan. It has not yet gone into effect, but arrangements are being made and in another year, we hope, there will be a great difference in the appearance of our school grounds. In one of the class meetings it was brought up that something should be done about our list of tardies. Mrs. Baer and Mr. Valillee gave us per- Page thirty-three gets his name in this book, together with the number of minutes tardy. The excuses are also to be handed to the students in charge. Out of six of the girls’ Varsity basketball team, three were Sophomores. The Sophomore class aims to promote athletics in the high school, and they seem to be winning their point. The girls out for basketball were: Helen Heavner, forward; Frances Heavner, center; Betty Howey, Kathryn Maloney and Elizabeth Hair, guards; Esther Baxter, center. The boys were: Kenneth Anderson, Kenneth Williams, Gerald Keeney, and James Mannix. The girls wanted to have a “Sports Club” to promote athletics in the high school, but the high school as a whole was not in favor of it and, therefore the charter asked for was not granted. —Betty Howey, ’30.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL “The American ideal is the ideal of equal educational opportunity, not merely for the purpose of enabling one to know how to earn a living and to fit into an economic status more or less fixed, but of giving play to talent and aspiration and to the development of mental and spiritual powers. To explain club organizations to those unacquainted and unaccustomed to adolescent youth is a difficult proposition. We aim in our club work to form a happy outlet for the restless activity and direct it in channels that will serve to strengthen our boys and girls. Whether we wish it or not. the Junior High School activities must play an increasingly important part in school affairs. The state course for a legalized Junior high school requires that certain periods be devoted to guidance and club activities. Because of over-crowded conditions, we have been seriously handicapped in carrying out many of the outlined plans in this part of our program. In spite of these difficulties, however, we have met our state requirements. At the beginning of the school year, eight selective clubs were organized. The urgent demand for dramatics was so pressing that it seemed advisable to form two dramatic clubs: “The Rock-Eng-Well,” with Miss Lindsley as leader and “The Happy Hour,” sponsored by Mrs. Baxter. These clubs furnished many interesting and entertaining numbers which were thoroughly enjoyed in our assembly programs. They have also presented two evening entertainments. Many Christmas problems were solved in the organization of two needlework clubs: “The Willing Workers,” with Miss Taylor as sponsor and “The Nimble Fingers,” with Mrs. Crediford in charge. Many good health habits were formed in Miss Whipple’s Hiking Club. Our assembly programs have been much improved by the excellent work in the Junior High Music Club, under Miss Bush’s direction. Those pupils having artistic abilities have greatly appreciated Miss Elinor Wilcox in the Art Club. In the Athletic Club Mr. Evans has made it possible to use some of the surplus youthful energy, so abundant in Junior High School life. The clubs offer many opportunities. Through taking active part in the various clubs pupils literally “learn tp do by doing.” There is a marked growth in the spirit of co-operation service. We aim to guide the enthusiasm in our Junior citizens that each may have not only a basic foundation for future instruction but a pure, well developed, human soul. We arc striving to link our work, extra curricular activities and moral training together, that we may be able to send out worthy citizens able and willing to grapple with America’s problems. —Carrie Lindsley Crediford. 7 email ••v; «• '• ? vSitr-v v HOME ECONOMICS Page fortg-thr DEBATING HOME NURSING ■ DRAMATICS MUSIC V DESIGN PRINTING -• ■ rjjjp I • 3 ■� .............

Seated—Harlan Rowe, Robert Russell, Millard Northrup, Frank Schrier, Donald Francke. HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES The Academy Debating Club is the oldest organization in this school. It originated in the Old Academy about 1840. In 1924 the interest of the boys was aroused in debating and this club was reorganized under the old name. Its purpose has been to bring before the school different topics of interest to the students and also at the close of the year a discussion before the public. Six members of the Junior Debating Club are made members of this club at the last meeting in order that they may organize the club for the following year. The Thespian Club was formed by the Senior girls of ’27. Their purpose was to create an interest in dramatics. The Senior girls of ’28 have carried on this club to the best of their ability. They have presented before the high school three one-act plays in which marked ability has been shown. At the beginning of the year a program was made out in order that each week the Thespians might report upon some subject connected with the history of English drama. The girls have enjoyed pleasant times in this club which they will always treasure in their memories of Athens High School. The interest in the music department has increased considerably in the last few years. We have a fifteen-piece orchestra composed entirely of students. This year the orchestra, besides playing for school functions, has also played before the public. The chorus consists of about fifty students who have sung for school activities. A quartette, composed of three Seniors and a Junior, has gained quite a reputation outside of the school. Miss Bush, our able music instructor, is to be congratulated on the success of these organizations. Le Cercle Francais a ete organise par des filles de la classe de franca is de ’26.

This year they have studied music, art. sports, and life in different countries. They have studied the life and customs of the peoples of South America and find it very interesting. This year the club has brought the members closer together and pleasant memories of the wonderful times in Philomathean meetings will always remain with us.

As the club was small at the beginning of this year, we decided to take in five girls from the Senior class as honorary members. During the second semester members from the design class are chosen to carry on the work the following year. We have studied various kinds of work this year; also papers on the history and methods of craft have been presented by different members of the club. From our Faculty Adviser, Miss Wilcox, we have learned many helpful and worthwhile things and have had good times which will always be remembered. THE KELLY KID Margaret Cullen.

Reva Morley I Following a custom of some years’ standing, an operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon,” was given by the High School C horus. The first operetta, “The Captain of Plymouth,” was given in 1916. Since then there have been given: “Patricia.” 1922; “In India,” 1923; “Wind Mills of Holland,” 1924; “Gipsy Rover,” 1925; “Barbarosa of Barbarry,” 1926; and “Once in a Blue Moon,” 1927. The Chorus plans to give another operetta in 1929. We, of the old casts, wish them all the success in the world. fa.

Seated—Harry Keavin. The print shop was established in 1921 ; two presses were installed, along with type and other equipment, in a room on the basement floor of the high school. Since then new type, another press, and some more printing materials have been added to the shop by the School Board. The last semester of this year the Board engaged Mr. F. H. Smith, the proprietor of the Riverside Press, to instruct the students in printing. Since he has started teaching, the students have shown more interest in printing. The last four issues of the monthly “Athenian” contained hand set THE ADVANCED CLOTHING CLASS Sealed—Mabel Robinson, Marion Haynes, Dorothy Bonser. Mildred Morse, Myrtle Nichols, Elizabeth Murray, Margaret Cullen. Alice Hughes, Marjorie Wheeler, Marion Hall, Edna Shaffer. Standing—Miss Me Wayne. The Advanced Clothing Class of Home Economics have had a very interesting course this year. A great variety of things have been made. After having gone over the contents of her wardrobe, each girl decided what things she needed and tried to bring out new styles and methods of construction. The garments were made under the supervision of Miss McWayne. ATHLETIC COACHES ARTHUR PETERS Football Coach “Pete” sure had a tough proposition to buck up against when he came to coach our team. This year we had a few regulars but the rest were all green men. When he got through with us, he had made a good team out of almost nothing. We thank him because of this. HOWARD EVANS Basketball and Baseball Coach This was Mr. Evans’ first year of work with our boys and he sure got right down to business. He put out a good basketball team, one that the high school was proud of. We expect him to do much better in working a baseball nine.

VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM SENIORS Kermit Giess, Manager When anything was wanted, it was “Hey, Giess! get this, or get that. Kermit was always depended on to “Keep the Home Fires Burning’’ and to provide the hoys with hot water. This is one position you can fill and never get much credit. Kermit was our loyal manager. Tom Spear, Height 5:11 1-2: Weight 162 “Tom was awarded the honor of captain of the team this year. He told the squad that good sportsmanship was more than high scoring and he surely set a good example by playing the game hard and clean. Wherever he was put. he played just as hard. He was our left tackle. Millard Northrup, Height 5:11: Weight 145 This year there was a red-headed fellow among the squad, known to everybody as “Red.” He was there to fill a vacancy when the coach needed a man. “Red was an all-round man and very dependable. JUNIORS Harry Drake, Height 5:10; Weight 160 Harry was elected captain of next year’s team. When the team needed three yards or five yards, Harry was always the man picked. Harry is our fullback and is a good one, too. who plays a very hard, clean game. Frank Baker, Height 5:9: Weight 175 High Low sure was a great help to our line. His ability to block the holes as well as to open them, was noted by all. He came on the squad toughened by work on a state road. He played left guard. Edward Daniels, Height 5:3; Weight 133 “Eddie” sets a good example showing the other guys that good things come in small packages. “Eddie” was a last year’s letter man. He was a hard tackier and played left end. Eddie had a tough time of it on account of injuries, but managed to play in most of the games despite this handicap. Robert Flood, Height 5:11; Weight 185 As the old saying goes “you can’t keep a good man down,” Bob, although a little late in coming out for the team, proved to be the man that the coach was looking for. Bob played right guard. “Rosy Cheeks” lived quite a way out of town and always had to be taken home nights after practise. We expect Bob to gain several pounds before next year, which will help the center of our line. Paul Hair, Height 6:1; Weight 160 Paul could be looked upon as an all-round man because of his ability to fill any position. Can he kick? Boy, oh boy!—that trusty toe of his has Frank McCauley, Height 5:6; Weight 143 This was “Mickey’s” first year as a regular and he sure was one of the best on the team. Frankie played left halfback and could run like a demon. Next year we hope to have the fastest backt'ield in the League and Frankie will be part of it. SOPHOMORES Gerald Keeney, Height 5:9; Weight 160 “lerry was out for big game this year and he succeeded. This was Jerry’s first year on the squad and he did his share in making a good line. Jerry played right tackle. Howard Long, Height 5:8: Weight 150 “Longie” played the other halfback position. Howard was a last year's letter man and sure showed the boys stuff. He could be depended on to carry the ball around the ends. He will help us make one of the fastest backt'ields in the valley next year. James Mannix, Height 5 :7 V2 ! Weight 135 “Jimmie” also was a last year’s letter man. This year a hard position was to be filled and it fell to “Jimmie.” He sure was a great aid to the team and we expect more from him next season. James McMahan, Height 5:8; Weight 150 Although “Jimmy” was shifted around on the line, he fought a clean, hard game. He was called the “Fighting Freshman” because of this. Jimmy sure has a long time to play football and we will all look at his results. Good luck. Timmy. BASKETBALL SQUAD Standing'—Coach Evans, Janies McCormick, Kenneth Anderson, Carl Sage, Earl Beach, Harry Drake, Assistant Manager Frank Baker, Manager Harlan Rowe. Seated—Raul Sullivan. Kenneth Williams, Captain Tom Spear, James Mannix, Gerald Keeney. nenian BOYS' BASKETBALL SENIORS Tom Spear, Height 5:11 1-2: Weight 162 Toni seetns to be a born athlete because everything that he attempts to do in the line of athletics just seems to be a natural success. Tommy played guard and proved to be a tower of strength to the team when it came to fast floor work. He also was a sure-shot basket-tosser. We lose his services next year and we will miss him, not only as a star athlete, but as a fine fellow as well. Harlan Rowe, Manager “And everywhere the team it went, there ‘Peanut’ was sure to go. Someone has always had to take the blame for not having hot water, for being minus towels, or some other thing. “Peanut” could always be found on the “receiving end” of these “bawling-outs.” We lose “Peanut” this year also, and in losing him we not only lose the best of managers, but a good-natured chap who could take our abuse and not get sore. Here’s luck to you, Pean.” JUNIORS Harry Drake, Height 5:10; Weight 160 Harry came “into his own toward the last of the season and played center as well as anyone. He always is full of fight and never gives up until the game is over. “Drakey” played his best game here against Ulster when we had to play four extra periods. He gave his Alma Mater all that he had that night. SOPHOMORES Gerald Keeney, Height 5:10 1-2: Weight 161 Gerald played a guard and how did he play it! His gameness and fighting spirit helped us to win main- a hard-fought game. You could always tell when “Jerry” was playing hard because he would sometimes he put out on fouls toward the latter part of the game. Kenneth Williams, Height 5:5 1-2; Weight 135 “Wee Willie” played a forward and sure made a success of it. He was one of the best floor men that we had. “Kenny,” like the rest of these Sophomores, has two more years to go. James Mannix, Height 5:7' 2 ; Weight 133 “Nig” started off like a “house-on-fire,” but he almost immediately contracted a severe case of “brain fever” and had to retire for a few weeks. However, he soon was back in the game and setting his same old speedy pace which his opponents found extremely hard to keep up with. Paul Sullivan, Height 6:2; Weight 160 “Sully” jumped center, although he didn’t have very far to jump. “Sully” travels considerably during the summer vacation, but we hope to see him on the team next season as he certainly is an asset to the team. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Standing: Isabel Loveland, (Assistant Manager); Esther Baxter, Josephine Tremain, Betty Hovvey, Dorothy Bonser, Elizabeth Hair, Charlotte Bennett, (Manager); Coach Evans. Seated: Josephine Thurston, Frances Headier, Esther Winters. (Captain): Helen Headier, Alda Thorp. GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Esther Winters, Captain and Forward In the books of prophecy, there is written a brilliant future for Esther with her all-round athletic ability and winning ways. Esther proved herself equal to the task of captaining the fastest girls' basketball team Athens has had in many years. Always playing a good game at forward while leading her team-mates to victory, she was a source of inspiration to the entire squad. We are very sorry to lose Esther through graduation, but wish her the best of success in life, and may she still continue to be the supporter of Athens High School she has been during her career as a student. The managers, Charlotte Bennett and Isabel Loveland, worked very hard for the team. Both were usually in attendance at the games if possible and did everything in their power to aid the team. Charlotte graduates this year and the girls will miss her. Josephine Tremain, Side Center Although “Jo” wasn’t on the regular team it will be hard to substitute for her next year. Jo has shown her faithfulness by appearing for practice regularly and has been a great help to us. “Jo” leaves us this year through graduation. We wish you luck, “Jo.” Josephine Thurston, Guard “Jo,” though small in size, is a whirlwind when it comes to playing guard. You could always depend on her. This was Jo’s first year and it speaks well of her ability by making the team. By her experience gained in playing this year she should be able to aid in a winning team next year. We are sorry she didn’t come out before. Alda Thorp, Side Center Alda very ably filled her position as a side center and was always on the job. She not only was able to play offensively but is just as good on the defense. As Alda is a Junior, we also expect iter to be a big factor in the success of the team next year. Helen Heavner, Forward Helen was a very outstanding figure on the basketball court and could always be expected to do her part. She is very adept at shooting field goals and could be depended on in a tight place. This is her second year and the next two years should bring out the best that is in her. Frances Heavner, Center “Fran filled the center position very well and it was due to her and Alda’s pass work that the forwards were able to score as they did. “Fran” is a Sophomore and plays very well for her second year. We also hope she will be with the team next year. Betty Howey, Guard This is Betty’s second year with the team and she has done great work. She and Jo make a pair of guards hard to beat. It had to be a good forward that broke through her defense. Betty plays a good floor game and can sure heave the ball when she has to. With Betty as one guard, the team ought to be successful next year. A great deai of success of the team has been due to the girls who came to practise every night and gave the regulars practise work. These girls should share in the success just as much as the six members of the team. Some of the girls who were faithful and should have a good chance next year are: Esther Baxter. Elizabeth Hair, Dorothy Bonser, Catherine Maloney. Marion Knowles, Alice Winters, Geraldine Wilcox, Myrtle Nichols, Mary Campbell. Mr. Evans, Coach The success of the girls’ team is to a great extent due to our coach, Mr. Evans. The girls have shown what they can do, when they have a coach who is really interested in them. Mr. Evans stuck with us whether we won or lost and the girls appreciate the time he has spent and the patience he had with us. We hope he will coach a successful team next year.

The scenes that ne’er can be forgotten Within our hearts secure they dwell; We’ll dream of thee, yes, often. The class room and the study hall And teachers there with smiling faces— We’ll see them in our visions all, And long to be back in our places. Farewell, dear Junior friends so dear, Although the parting brings us sadness. With glowing hopes so bright next year, You'll take our places all with gladness; And with memory’s vision clear We see your radiant faces beaming, And all the scenes that were so dear, We’ll wake to find that we are dreaming. Farewell, dear Alma Mater, true, Beneath these walls we learned to love thee; Our thoughts will often turn to you, Who led us in the paths of duty. Athens, we’ll yet repine Nor from our hearts can time thee sever. Farewell, old scenes once fondly mine, But mine, alas, no more forever! —Carol Rogers '28.

Special mention should be made of those who have so freely contributed their time and talent: Marian Rowe, editor-in-chief; Charles Mills, business manager: Millard Northrup, circulation manager, and Joseph Thurston, assistant business manager, deserve great praise for the successful conduct of the business affairs throughout the year. Charlotte Bennett and Josephine Tremain should receive full credit for their work on the Senior records, one of the features of the Annual that is most important. Robert Russell and Marian Knowles proved themselves capable of the difficult job of preparing the directory. Frank McCauley did efficient work in writing up the personnel of the letter men. Marjorie Groat prepared the history of the Old Academy which will interest not only the students but also the townspeople of Athens. Roberta McClarty, Rita Burkhart, and Alice Muff, who are in training for work on The Athenian for next year, have been of efficient assistance. We wish to thank the advertisers who have supported our Annual and the monthly papers throughout the year. The foreword and final word were written by Isabel T.oveland. The Old Covered Bridge
