His favorite sport is football. He made a good president. MABEL WILLIAMS Secretary “Mabel” “Whoever you are, be noble. Whatever you do, do well.” Mabel’s chief characteristic is amiability. She is most efficient in all her undertakings. HARRY PATTON Vice President “Harry” “There is more in me than anyone understands.” Harry is one of our exceptionally bright students. With his brains, it seems that anyone could go a long way in this world. DORIS FRIANT Treasurer “Dorie” “And still they gazed, and still their wonder grew that one small head could carry all she knew.” “Dorie” is our versatile member. Her abilities seem to have no end. Page ten scNicc nisrccy During our Freshman year, the Class of ’34 was not very active. We organized and chose Eugene McDonald for president of the class. Archon and Archonian Societies were formed, but did not materialize. We were formally introduced to the high school in our Sophomore year bv the Juniors who gave a Sophomore W elcoming dance. Robert ood was the president of the class this year. We earned a little money by giving a bake sale. We received the perfect attendance prize of ten dollars. Our active life in school affairs began when we were Juniors. Eugene McDonald was again president of the class. We sold candy which is a privilege of the Junior class. We gave the Sophomores the annual Sophomore Welcoming dance. We had a Hallowe’en party and held several tea dances. At the end of the year we had a Junior-Senior Prom which was held in the I-R Hall. We were the first class, however, who failed to give the Seniors a banquet which had been the annual custom of the Junior class. e received our class rings while we were Juniors. The operetta, “The Belle of Bagdad”, was given in 1933 and the Juniors who obtained leading parts were Bernard Ryan, Jean Sturroek, Harold Savacool and Kathryn Davies. The Junior girls participated in plays and the boys were in the debates. The Senior girls selected the officers of the Thespian Club and the Senior boys selected officers for the Academy and Forum Debating Clubs. A very interesting presidential campaign was held to select a president of the high school. The candidates were Eugene McDonald, Constructionist party; Robert Keeney, Reform party: Bernard Ryan, Progressive party. The Constructionist party was victorious We again received the perfect attendance prize of ten dollars. For four years we have been well represented in athletics. To celebrate the victory of our championship football team, the Class of ’34 gave a Championship dance. We chose Edgar Brown for president of the Senior class and he proved a most efficient president. For four years Doris Friant, capable and faithful, kept the position as class treasurer. The Senior girls were entertained by the University Club at the Sayre High School. We enjoyed a most entertaining program and we were served delicious refreshments. Our Senior Evenings were most successful. The Seniors hope that the Class of ’35 will enjoy the clubs as much as they did. Helen Touhev. Page eleven SENIORS Beverly Armstrong “Beve” The force of hi own merit makes his own way. Put on your best smile. Kiris: here comes Beve‘ Besides beinK a cave man, he is also a smart student. Ava Bedford “Ave” I'll help you and you help me. And then what a helping world there'll be I Ave” believes in doing something for someone else. You can always depend on Ave to help you out. Carl Bowen “Zuke” A youth, light hearted and content, will wander through the world. Zuke’s favorite sport is blarney, his favorite author, Shakespeare. and his favorite girl I would not dare name. Juneyor Brown “Juneyor” To be efficient in a quiet way. that's my aim throughout the day. Perhaps the only member of the Senior Class of whom it can be said that he is the friend of everyone. Marjorie Brown “Marge” Live for friendship and live for love, For truth and harmony's sake.” Marge is quiet, but she enjoys a good time and makes a perfect companion. Leonard Burrow “Leonardo” A merry heart that laughs at care. “Leonardo was always on hand at his private seat at noon. The funny thing about it was his pockets were always empty. Eleanor Baxter “Norie” I would rather be beaten than succeed in the wrong. A most reliable, efficient girl. Add to that a sweet disposition and the answer is ‘ 'Norie Florence Bidlack They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts. Although Florence says little, when she does say something, everyone listens. June Brown “Brownie” Things don’t turn up in the world unless somebody turns them up. Brownie never lets anyone feel sad very long. She was the success in many class enterprises. Mabel Brown “Pete” Learning by study must be won T'was ne’er entailed from sire to son. If we were all as studious and quiet as Mabel, we would make a model class. Marion Burlingame “Maron” Kind, helpful and nice, A wonderful jewel without a price. Maron makes many friends in her quiet, unassuming manner. Phyllis Carle “Phyl” Haste thee. Nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful Jollity. Phyl” is always ready for a good time, es pecially if it means many laughs. Page twelve SENIORS Mabel Catlin Whatever we want of any worth We've got to work to gain.” Mabel evidently believes silence is golden. However, it didn’t prevent her from hav ing a good- time. Willard Cook “Cooky” “A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.” You hardly ever see '‘Cooky” when he isn't in the Athenian room. “Cooky” is a fine speaker also: without him the Athenian would not have been so good. Marion Ellison “Mame” My vigor is a new-minted penny Which I cast at your feet.” “Maine's” picture proves her friendly spirit. Her smile won many friends for her. Adelaide Frisbie “Adele” “Where the stream runs deepest, the water is smoothest.” We all hope that “Adele” will realize her ambition to be a portrnit painter. Wilhelmina Gable “Billy” The only way to have a friend is to be one.” “Billy” is one of our hardworking and unobtrusive members. William Griswold “Bill” “Most times gay. often sad between times happy and sometimes mad.” “Bill” is always a friend when a friend is needed most. If ever is heard an encouraging word, you’ll find “Bill” is the originator. Charlide Chaffee “Chaffee” “Like a gleam of golden sun shine Let the hidden smile break through.'' “Chaffee” has a sunny disposition which helps her to acquire many friends. She proved herself a very capable president of the Thespian Club. Jeanne Davies “Jean” “To know her is to hive her.’ ’ “Jean's” amiability is well known and gains her many friends. Frances Elsbree “Fran” “Her airs, her manners, all who saw admired.” “Fran is serious, but manages to have a smile for everyone. John Fox “Foxy” “Friendliness is gold,” John, you're rich. “Foxy” is one of our small Seniors, but he says some large things. Agnes Gowan “The fairest garden in her looks And in her mind the fairest books.' ’ We are very fortunate to have a student with such literary nbility. Doris Hakes “Dorsie” “A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck. “Dorsie” is always brightening everything in her debonair manner. Page thirteen Gertrude Hapeman “Gert” “Today well spent means every yesterday a dream of happiness.” “Gert” is one of our most pleasant and appreciative classmates. Harold Harding “Shorty” “He never, never failed a friend and never feared a foe.” “Shorty” is always around when anyone is in for a pood time. Jacob Hennip “Jake” “A sturdy youth he was and tall.’ “.Take” just delights in a pood argument, even though he knows everything about the subject. Alice Hulette “Allie” “These delights, if thou canst give, Mirth, with thee I mean to live.” “Allie” is always happy-po-lucky and helps everyone to forget her troubles. Raymond Johnston “Ray” “A light heart lives long.” “Ray” is quite a dangerous man. He has blown up the laboratory twice. Nevertheless he should be a success. Wallace Lawrence “Wally” “He is gentle, he is shy. but there is mischief in his eye.” “Wally” is well noted for the volume of his sneeze. He hasn’t been with us very long, but he certainly has made a name for himself. SENIORS Doris Harding “Dod” “Small service is true service while it lasts.” “Dod” is always willing to assist in all class activities. Marjorie Hatch “Margie” “Just being happy is a fine thing to do, Looking on the bright side rather than the blue.” •■.Margie” just couldn’t keep from laughing if something really amused her. Donald Howard “Don” “Serene and kind with steadfast mind.” You never hear very much from “Don”. Not that he can't talk, but he isn’t over anxious to talk. Mabel Hunsinger “Marbs” “Kxpcct the best and smile; be cheerful, and Trouble will give you up as a bad job.” Mabel's one year with us made us wish she had come sooner. Robert Keeney “Bob” “Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you.” “Bob” is our football hero. He has been all-league three years. He is always around when any fun is on hand. Frances Leonard “Fran” “There is such a chance of difficulties, that I myself am at a loss as to where to begin.” “Fran” is new to our class this year. He doesn’t have much to say, but he is well known. Page fourteen SENIORS Gordon Lewis “Gord” “His only fault is that hr has no fault.” Gord” has horn with us since wo started Hr has made a fine name for himself in thr royal game of football. Mildred Loomis “Millie” “Fair was she to behold, that maid of seventeen.” Mildred has a sunny disposition which will carry her far. Eugene McDonald “Gene” “Mac” “Nothing is so amiable as modesty.' There are three things ' (iene likes to do real well. The first, play football; second, go with the girls. Last but not least, argue. I think he will get a long way in the world on his technical ability. Earl Mekeel “Dud” “A man to be depended upon.’ ’ “Dud” has two special things he likes to do. play his harmonica and his accordion. Dud” is well known and very talkative. James Mitchell “Jimmie” His patience is a flower that grows not in every garden. '' “Jimmie” has earned a name for himself in his good debating. He should be a sure success in life after he graduates. Gladys Mullihan “Glady” Each time in life comes but once; Muke the most of it.” Here's our proof that good things come in small packages. Robert Lincoln “Bob” There is such a chance of losing, but I’ll take a winning chance.” Bob’ is a quiet person until you get him heated up; then bend your heads to the gale. Agnes Maguire “Aggie” A smile has fullest meaning If the one who smiles is true.'' (Hoorn fades away when Aggie” comes along with her cheery smile. John McDonald “Slim” Deeds are greater than words. Actions mightier than boasting.' ’ Slim'' was captain of the football team in 19.32. He is an all-round good fellow and sport. Arthur Minier “Art” He is quiet and of even temperament.'' Art” loves to control things, including the Athenian Room. He has many ambitions. If he lives up to some of them he should be quite a man. Loretta Moore “Retta” Bright was her face with smiles, and words of welcome and gladness.” Loretta can be either serious or gay. Perhaps that is why she is so well-liked. Charles Northrup “Chas” “Nort” As ye sow. so shall ye reap.” “Chas” is perhaps one of the most active members of the Senior Class; he is noted for his daring in more matters than one. and perhaps will be one of the noted successes of the class. Page fifteen SENIORS Margaret Oliver “Peg” “With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.” “Peg” doesn’t believe in taking anything too seriously and greets everyone with a smile. Ethel Patton “Pat” “Just beyond the mist and rain clouds Shines the sun in splendor bright.” “Pat pooped up everyone by her vivacity. Dorothy Potter “Dodie” “Whenever you speak, speak kindly. Give joy wherever you dwell.” Dorothy’s steadiness in playing for the orchestra proves her interest in music. Alta Reeves “Alto” “Nothing else in all life is such a maker of joy. and cheer as the privilege of doing good. “Alto is another member of the class who is very quiet. Harold Robbins “Hal” “With blackest hair combed smoothly back, admirers he will never lack.” “Hal” is always ready for anything and you would always find him on the fair side of all questions. He was your friend if you would allow him to be. Bernard Ryan “Bernie” “What man dare. I dare.” “Bernie is the chief of the humor section. Always at home whether entertaining on field or with associates, or being entertained at various places he is accustomed to visit. Virginia Page “Ginny” “The gayest hours trip lightly by. And leave the faintest trace.” “Ginny’s” fondness for good times makes her an enjoyable companion. Hazle Pearn “It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” Her size doesn't hinder Hazle from succeeding in everything she attempts. Jane Rawley “Life will be a pleasant tune Joyful as a day in June.’’ Jane’s love of a joke makes her a pleasing companion. David Richie “Dave” “His foot has music in it as he comes up the stairs.” When anyone makes a noise, “Dave” is always in the midst of it. No one cares for a good time as much as Dave.” Helen Rockett “Happines is the feeling we experience When we are too busy to be miserable.’’ Every class has a care-free, happy member and Helen is ours. Harold Savacool “Savey” “Ye have many strings to your bow.” If there was any mischief around. Harold was in the midst. Noted for his jokes, quick wit. and good voice. Page sixteen SENICES Elena Smith “Willie” •'The victory of success is half won when one gains the hnhit of work.” Too bad we didn't have basketball this year. With “Willie” on the team, we would have been “Champs”. James Smith “Jimmie” “He doesn't talk much, but when he does he says a great deal.' ’ James is the quietest boy in High School. But as the saying goes. “Quiet rivers flow deep.” This fits James ex-a ctly. Helen Touhey “True friends are like diamonds. Rich and rare”. Helen's laughing brown eyes and witty tongue have won her a place in the hearts of all her schoolmates. Paul Walker “Paul” “In this life we want nothing but facts, sir. nothing but facts.” Paul is noted for his adventures in his cars, also tractor, because he really is a farmer. Mortimer Webster “Mort” “A light heart lives long.” Mort” is noted for his dryness of manner, and none can heat him at a game of wits. Always ready for fun. George White “George” He is as full of valour as of kindness.” (Jeorge is the mathematician of the class. It is said that he was doing the work of ten men during the last semester. Iona Smith “Ona” “If the power to do hard work is not a talent. It is the best possible substitute for it.” “Onn's” i n d u s triousness doesn't prevent us from discovering her friendliness. Jean Sturrock “When one smile starts another. They would soon reach miles and miles.” Jean’s smile completely wins everyone and makes us ask for more. Dorothy Vaow “Dot” “For she who always does her best Her best will better grow.” We enjoyed the short two years “Dot” spent with us. Harold Wallin “Jo Jo” “So light of foot, so light of spirit.” Harold will be the aviator of the class. With his enthusiasm and spirit he will make a name for himself. Anna White “Annie” “Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you.” Anna was with us for only one year, but she proved her ability to make friends. Stanley White “Stan” “A man to be depended upon.” “Stan” will be one of the few members of the Senior class of whom we will be proud. He is bound to make a name for himself. Page seventeen SENIOR PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Classmates, we have been together in work and play for the last four years. Many of us have been together longer, but for four years we have been making records that will go down in the history of Athens High School. Perhaps a record does not seem like much, but it is one way of leaving your mark. Some before us have left their mark on the desk, but just to be different we decided to leave ours in the office. 1. personally, believe that this class will he remembered for a few things. The size of our class will always be a goal for which others will strive. This is the largest class ever to graduate from this school and probably will stand so for many years. In dramatics and debating we have shown that we are the masters of ourselves and our knowledge. For many years we have been preparing ourselves for this type of work by continually arguing about something or. perhaps, trying to put one over on the teacher. This was always fun until we were caught. Our athletic ability was such that A. II. S. was in the limelight and is making history by itself. Out of twelve lettermen eight played on the Championship Team of 1933. Resides making a few records we have learned something of far more importance. We have learned the art of working together. I think that this will prove itself very valuable in later years. All through life we will be in contact with other people and. unless we can work with them toward a common goal, we will find ourselves on the wrong side of the fence. Rut we cannot take all the credit for our success, if that is what you might call it. We were not working alone during these years of hard labor. Much credit is due the teachers who have shown us what to strive for and how to do it. Most of us went through school in twelve years which seemed to us. at the beginning, a long span of time. Rut just think what the teachers went through during this time! We greatly appreciate their help and hope to prove ourselves worthy of their time and support. Now. after all these years together, we have to leave. We are on the verge of a new and greater adventure. We are now prepared to take our place in the world. The future is rather a mystery, like a veiled object or unexplored territory. We hardly know what the lifting of the veil or the topping of the next rise will reveal. In short, we are in a quandary. Rut we will not be downed: we will turn defeat into victory and go on with that indomitable spirit that is now a part of us. With best wishes for the success of the Arab, steal away. 1935 class, we quietly, like the F.dgar Rrown. Page eighteen ELir€RI41l OUR YEARBOOK Again this yearbook of ours passes into new hands. Let us hope that these are strong hands and will. l v their efforts, better our yearbook and make a living remembrance of it for those who are leaving our fold. For you, luniors. who will form next year’s Kditorial Board, we have a special message. Put the life of our school into this book of ours to the best of your ability and then pass it on to others who wi’l leave their ideas engraved upon its pages. If our school does not progress, neither will our yearbook; arouse that interest that is now latent dee]) down in your soul and establish an ideal for our school, one that means progress. Watch with interest the events that happen inside these walls, concerning classroom and the high school activities program and then produce the work on the pages of the yearbook to bring back to us mental pictures of occurrences that have passed and will never come again. Eugene McDonald. AN EDITOR SEES The Juniors of the present school are the last class to be imbued with the tvpe of school spirit with which we are familiar. Each year the students seem to grow more and more away from the curricular activities of the school. The activities outside those of the school seem to interest them more readily than those within it. The solution of the problem cannot be treated and solved, as in the old times, by the students themselves; but only by the induction of new spirit into the problem through the medium ot new attractions for the students. The new addition to the school building will go a long way in solving this problem by providing new courses and more modern facilities for entertainments. Another large factor will be the appearance of new teachers. Through them we learn, and. if they teach new ideas, we will learn new ideas and thus we might find a way to solve this problem. Perhaps one of the most entertaining, but also one of the best instructors, is the use of films to illustrate lectures. There is much room to expand this modern convenience of knowledge and it may prove to be some help in helping the students to grow back to school. The students will have to preserve the Athenian as the school paper, because only through it can they express their reactions to these changes. Page nineteen GILLS’ PPCPHECy This Senior class in our small town We hope will he of some renown. The girls have shown their colors true By starting off with a goal in view. Gladys Mullihan wants to be a doctor, While Dorothy Yaow would make a fine author. Jean Sturrock wishes to teach dancing. And Eleanor Baxter arms to be lancing.

Which daily strives to save us from the woes of ills and hearses. Thus ends the history of each lass Who forms a part of our dear class. Doris Friant. Page twenty Always in time of dire distress, Those who don’t drown in the sea Attempt something nearly as foolish Such as writing a class prophecy. Be lenient 1 beg in your judging. Please don’t be too hard on me. Trusting you will, I give to you Our graduating class prophecy. Griswold will surely build bridges. And Lawrence preach sermons to you, While Mitchell, who always had friends at school W ill sadly bid Athens adieu. Later he’ll be at the court of Saint James, While Patton frolics at Rome. And I shall be a second Babe Ruth With Juneyor becoming high-toned. Brown is sure to coach at Athens, While Wallin pilots a plane. Robbins will star at Hollywood And Johnston sail the Seine. Leonard, well known as a writer. Will put Athens on the maps, And Stanley White, who's always right, Will be a professor perhaps.

Jim Smith a famous composer. And Burrow a good magician. 1 have Webster an orchestra leader. And Richie the neighbor’s despair, For none of them can find a way To silence his saxophone’s blare. Mekeel as United States banker Is bound to succeed somehow. While Harding as mayor of Athens Is sure to be a wow. I have Ryan a second Rockne, And Keeney a Reggie Root, With John and Gene on a New York team Making their pro debut. In the employ of our president George White will be a chauffeur. While Owen, a Supreme court judge, Has made many a rich man suffer. Bowen and Cook arc famous generals In our own U. S. Army, While Walker’s exploits with long distance guns Are called especially nervy. Howard, an ambitious student, Is our only successful chemist. Although Minier has gained some fame As a biology specialist. In Congress they say the only King-fish Is the fiery Huey Long. But in a space of a few short years We’ll develop another in Armstrong. Invincible F.arl Northrup and likeable Bob Lincoln Are a couple hard to beat. Both will serve in the Capitol To make this prophecy complete. Jacob Hennip. CLASS SCNG (Tune—“Pal of My Cradle Days”) When the last day draws nigh, In our hearts there’s a sigh. For those last moments that we may spend With teachers and friends who have guided us. Then all our school day's will end. As we choose separate paths. That will lead us at last. To the goal that we strove hard to get. With hearts filled with joy. as we travel on, Welcoming what will come at last. Chorus: Farewell, old Athens High, We’re leaving you, Athens High, Through all of these four years Vou’ve taught us to Do all our task, as best we knew. Your memories, so dear. Will last with us through the years. We don’t know any way, We can ever repay, You, dear old Athens High. Juneyor Brown. ALMA MATEP Where the waters, mingling softly, Cast their silvery chains Round our peaceful little Athens Alma Mater reigns.

Page twenty-seven JUNIOR HISTORY We have just finished our most eventful year in high school—the Junior year. The strongest ties of friendship have been made in this class, for one really understands his classmates and a desire has been created within to be friends with all. We are proud of our classmates, who have proved that they are capable of doing any task, no matter how difficult. The scholarship standing of the Juniors is very high. Every six weeks the honor roll is filled with names of our classmates. There are some who have lacked in some one grade, but have stood high in some others. The debating clubs formed this year have helped the boys a good deal. Those boys, who had an inferiority complex, have grown a little more confident. They can now formulate ideas and express them adequately. The Junior girls were enthusiastic about their dramatics. They realized it helped them a great deal. In social affairs the Juniors were second to none. At the tea-dances more Juniors were present than members of any other class. The Juniors held many evening dances; such as the Hallowe’en dance, Junior-Senior Prom, and the Sophomore Welcoming dance, all of which were very well attended. In athletics the Junior class outshines any other class in high school. The Championship football team had seven members from the Junior class on the first team. They were Simpson, Anderson, Coombs. Belcher. Casselbury. Terry, Hoffman, and Manager Lucy. The basketball squad had four Juniors on it. They are Campbell, Casselbury, Terry, and McCauley. The track team also had a number of aspirants from the Junior class. In the high school speaking contest, a Junior boy won first place for the boys and a Junior girl won first place for the girls. These students were Yern Casselbury and Esther Watkins. Vern Casselbury was successful in winning the county championship in a contest at Towanda with other school champions. In selection of a president the Junior class members showed rare judgment. LaVerne Zimmer was the boy elected for this position. President Zimmer has proved to be an active member, working for the benefit of the class as a whole. He helped, among other things, to keep the school paper in circulation. The Junior class as a whole saved the Athenian from an almost certain death. Through a plan of President Zimmer's our class was able to have every member subscribe for the paper. This inspired the other classes to do their best in filling their quota of subscriptions. We have other individuals in our class who are helping to make the Athenian bigger and better. Among these are Franklin Dolan—cartooning: Ruth Bowen—typing; Vern Cassel-bury—assistant editor; and John Lucy—assistant business manager. T think we are doing our share in the issue of Pennsylvania’s oldest scholastic paper. As Seniors, the class of ’35 will have new powers and new duties, and the rest of the student body of our high school may rest assured that we will fulfill all our duties and use our new found powers to the best of our ability.

It seems only yesterday that we were timid Freshmen striving to adopt the manners and customs of other high school students. At first everything was so new and strange, the methods of teaching employed by the various teachers so unfamiliar, that during the first week or two we were a bashful, shy little group of students. We soon grew accustomed to the new activities, however, and our timidity vanished. As Freshmen we were poor specimens of the model high school student. We cut traffic whenever possible, buzzed like a swarm of bees when a teacher left the room, and in general acted more like a child in the grades than a person of high school standing. All that is past now, however, for we are full-fledged Sophomores who are important in high school. Consequently we have banished all our childish ways and have become as perfect young ladies and gentlemen as one would care to see. Everyone has been so kind and friendly toward us that we felt welcome from the first. This feeling of friendship was well expressed at the Sophomore Welcoming dance and we certainly appreciated this friendly gesture. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and the sociableness on the part of our hosts made us feel at ease all the evening. Our activities have been rather few this year hut we hope for greater ones next year. We gave one Tea dance this year to raise money toward expenses. The group of us in Room 2 are going to cop the ten dollar prize for the perfect attendance of the year. We feel highly elated over this. We have all enjoyed being Sophomores. Our studies have been very interesting anti they have given us a broader and wiser outlook on life and the world in general. We feel we have profited much through this year’s work and we shall always consider it one of the happiest years spent in A. H. S. We hope, when we pass on to the ranks of Juniors next year, we will be able to carry on the work there as well as the Juniors have done this year. We a so extend this wish to the Freshmen—when you take our place we want you to lake it with determination to accomplish greater things than we have done. Margaret Dunbar. Paye thirty-two • ACTIVITIES 4C4DCMy DEBATING CLUE After nearly a year of parliamentary drill and practicing debating in a minor way, the Junior boys of 32-33 became members of Senior Debating clubs, the Academy and Forum. We had officers chosen for our Academy Debating club by Senior Academy debaters at our last Junior appearance. The topic of discussion was “Disarmament”. On becoming Seniors we organized our clubs and started debating immediately. We took part in both Senior evenings and furnished the major entertainment. As the clubs were so large, it was necessary to make two divisions of each club for Senior Evenings. The first group of debaters discussed the subject. “How Should the Criminal be Treated?” This was the forum type of giving arguments; they were well presented. The discussion was followed by a short parliamentary drill which offered much amusement to the audience due to the humorous question discussed. By the time the second Senior Evening came, much interest was aroused in the debaters, as the)' were set on accomplishing more- than the first group of debaters. They chose for the topic of discussion “How to Deal with Poverty”. This debate also was a thorough success. Bernard Ryan.

Page thirty-four fCCIJM DEC4TIN6 CLUB The Forum Debating Club was first started to interest more students in debating, and ever since that time it has grown to be a favorite activity among the boys who have participated in it. The first discussion held last year was on the subject, Who Should Control Water Power?” This discussion was given both by the Academy and Forum Clubs. If some of the public could have visited our Senior Class when we were making preparations and getting our material together for our debate, they would have been interested. Much persuasion had to be given to various members of the Forum Club to get them to take part in the debate. Those who thought they couldn’t possibly get up before the public and speak were among the best speakers. Because of our hard struggle to do our best. I am sure that every member will remember the good times he had in the debates. So, therefore. 1 wish to thank you. you. and you for your hearty support during our Senior Evening entertainments, and I hope that you will give your full support to the new club members next year.

Page thirty-five THESPIAN CLUB On September 28 and 29, 1933 the members of the Thespian Club were initiated by the six officers who were appointed the previous May. The initiates were compelled to wear baby bonnets, men’s shirts, and towels as aprons over their skirts. When they arrived at school the first morning all cosmetics were removed by soap and water. For two days the high school was enlivened by their presence. After school on the last day we celebrated with games and refreshments. Mr. Weller, manager of the Morley Theater, agreed to admit us all at half price providing the girls would do a little entertaining at the close of the first show. The girls responded immediately, and their initiation was over. On each Thursday the Thespians transacted business and listened to a program provided by different groups. To help us further our knowledge of dramatics, several girls became coaches in dramatics for groups of Junior girls. The girls were drilled in different divisions of dramatic work. The Senior girls gained much information bv the reports of the coaches. Tt was very interesting. Two Senior Evenings were given at which the Thespians gave plays and skits. At the final meeting in the auditorium, March 16, girls showing the best dramatic ability were chosen to fill the offices of the club. All in all we have completed a year of highly interesting and enjoyable work. Charlide Chaffee. First Row—Dorothy Potter. Mabel Brown, Gertrude Hapeman.

Page thirty-six FRENCH CIRCLE “Le Cercle Francais” was first organized in 1926 by girls of the French classes. Its chief aims were to promote an interest in the French language and to beautify the school grounds. It has continued ever since, its latter purpose being abandoned because of the formation of the Shrubbery Club. This year, due to the large number of students in the classes, membership was restricted to those in the French 4 classes who were really interested in speaking French. Twenty-five girls joined. Meetings were held once a month and were conducted in French just as they are in English. Following the business meeting a program was usually held at which time short plays were given, both in French and in English. Articles in French magazines and newspapers were read. French games were played, and songs were sung. The Marseillaise, the French national anthem, was the most popular. One of the most interesting things we did was to correspond with boys and girls in France. They wrote to us in French and we answered in English. They were really anxious to know about our country and asked for picture postcards or snapshots of places where we lived. They sent us newspapers, comic strips, and movie magazines. One thing in particular which interested us was an account of a train wreck near Paris around Christmas time which was written up in full in one of their newspapers. In this way the course in French has been made entertaining and interesting as well as instructive. Doris Friant.

Page thirty-seven DCMECCN CLUE The organizing of the Domecon Club in Athens High School marked another advancement of the Home Economics Department. As the name signifies, domestic economy is the main interest of the club and from this interest have grown many topics for study, new hobbies and profitable pastimes for many of our members. Our meetings are held in the Domestic Science department once during every two weeks. At the meetings we study different phases of home economics. W e also have a fine time socially. This year we accepted a new threefold challenge. We are to do something for charity, our school and ourselves. It was possible for us to prove ourselves charitable by serving several children, free of charge. Our contribution to our school was in the form of a new rug and new' curtains to brighten up our sewing room. We feel that the training which we have received from planning the noon lunches, choosing the rug and curtains as well as the benefits from the profitable reading which our department offers in etiquette, food, and clothing have been sufficient reward for our efforts. Among the social events of the club year was an initiation banquet which was successful, with an interesting guest speaker. We also held the annual Hallowe’en dance with the Juniors. As a club w'e feel that, under the expert direction of Miss Pease, we have been a credit to our high school and we will endeavor to uphold this standard each year. Loretta Moore.

Page thirty-eight P4DIC CLUE The Radio Club of Athens High has not achieved an overwhelming amount in the past year, but with the prospects in view we hope to strengthen the foundation which we have established. Our chief handicap has been the lack of financial backing. As a result the members have lost some interest because of the lack of radio magazines and construction apparatus. Although a couple of broadcast sets were given the club, they contain no great amount of useful Short ave equipment. Short Wave, of course, is our main objective for study and experimentation as this phase of the science holds the greatest field for development and is more interesting than lower frequencies or long waves. The Radio Club wants to do its part for Athens High. Next year we will have the new auditorium. The Radio Club stands ready to install speech amplifiers and other amplifiers for musical instruments, and other similar needs in this new unit so they may be heard in the most distant parts. This very valuable appliance will prove itself profitable and useful in many other events, track meets, plays, dances, and other similar uses. 1 now wish to say that the Radio Club members are eager to carry out any proposition that affords more knowledge and experience in this great science. May the Radio Club be of every possible service to the school and may the club progress in success! Walter Dewitt.

Page thirty-nine ORCHESTRA Athens High School Orchestra was organized in 1920 under the leadership of Miss Jordan. The purpose of this orchestra was to promote interest in music and to entertain the high school students. This organization of the musical members of the higli school has been a tradition up to the present date. Every year those who wish to play in the orchestra bring their instruments once or twice a week to practice. It is a trying task for the player and leader alike for difficulties arise which keep some of the orchestra members away from rehearsal. Athens High School Orchestra, it has been found, stands in the same class as those of the larger schools nearby. Occasionally contests have been held in Towanda to find the best orchestra. We should be proud to have such an organization for. no matter how large or small the school, a good orchestra adds to its reputation as a school. In the last few years the orchestras in the high school have been excellent. This is due to the fact that Miss Sairs has spent so much time on rehearsals. giving special attention to the new members who have come into the orchestra's ranks. It is hard to get a new orchestra going well, but by next year we will have another good one. The school is co-operating for they have just bought three new instruments. If every player is faithful at rehearsals, I am sure we will soon have the best orchestra we ever had in the high school. Carson Baxter.

At this meeting we elected officers and made plans to make our club the best there ever was—a purpose which we think has been carried out successfully. Vc bought pins representing the treble clef sign. We hope it will be the standard pin for the coming years. W e also had a scrap book in which to keep memories of our good times. Once a month the club enjoyed a social meeting. Two of the programs of these meetings were as follows: First Program : Piano Solo, Old Black Joe—Marjery Rawley ; Violin Solo. Moon Magic—Eugene McDonald; Vocal Duet. Have You Ever Been Lonely?—Ava Bedford and Marjorie Hatch; Piano Duet. Liberty Bells—Dorothy Potter and Helen Touhey; Tap Dance— Anna Lilley; Piano Duet.

In the five years that he has been in Athens High School he has turned out three championship football teams, one runner-up and one cellar team. In basketball “Deck has had poor material to work with, although he has had some successful teams. “Deck is the master of boys and surely can get the best out of them. In football he has had two green teams and with his master mind in the art of football has turned out two perfect teams. This year was his third championship team and it brought the silver trophy to Athens, something that he has worked very hard for. Next year a green team will he another problem for “Deck” to work with and all Athens is hoping for a good year.

Page forty-four 114 I I II N fCCTBALl The football team of this year was one of the smoothest, best balanced teams ever turned out in the S.V.I.A.A. League. The formation used was very effective in the competition the team played. Each player was fitted for his position, and worked very well. The team was well balanced in weight and ability. Each fellow was about the same size and could play his position equally well. In the games played they were scored on hut four times; in one League game by Sayre and one non-League game by Mansfield State. In eight tries they were set back once, and this was by Sayre. Six were League competition and two non-League. To the second team must be given much credit for the hard work and interest they took in the development of the first team. The second team was very strong and offered a great deal of fight throughout the season, which helped the team to learn what real League play would be like. At the start of the season ten lettermen reported from whom Coach Decker molded his mighty eleven. The ten lettermen were: Captain Robert Keeney, Eugene McDonald. Warren Hoffman. Edgar Brown, I.awrence Belcher, Bernard Ryan, Gordon Lewis, Harold Coombs, Clyde Anderson, and Thomas Simpson. Of these, eight were playing their last year of high school football. Nine of these men went through the season to a championship, but a great loss was made in the first game, when “Nig” Hoffman received an injury which kept him out the rest of the season. For the third time in five years the name “Athens High School” was carved on the S.V.I.A.A. Grid trophy and this made it possible for it to stay in Athens High School for good. Sixteen letters were given to members of the team, twelve of whom played their last year: Captain Robert Keeney, Eugene McDonald, Bernard Ryan, Harold Robbins, Harold Coombs, Jack Terry, Gordon Lewis. Edgar Brown, Lawrence Belcher, Warren Hoffman, Willard Cook, and Earl Northrup. Four lettermen are left for next year: Clyde Anderson, Thomas Simpson, Co-Captains, Vern Casselbury, and Paul Anderson.

Bob” was noted for his ability to leap into the air and catch passes. He was our able captain this year and proved to be a leader at all times. ‘‘Bob” will no doubt be a success in college football. EUGENE MCDONALD Letters—Football 3; Basketball 3. '•(tone has proved himself a very capable leader whether on the field or in the school. He was captain of the basketball team last year and was a wizard on the court. His generalship was a large factor in our winning two football championships. EDGAR BROWN Letters—Football 2. Tiger” always played a clean, hard game and was always seen on his feet stopping the players through his side of the line. When a play was run around end. “Tiger” was always at the head of the ball carrier. HAROLD ROBBINS Letters—Football 1 : Basketball 1. Harold was the fitting successor for right tackle when Hoffman was lost through an injury. He was well suited for the tackle position and filled it very well. In basketball Harold played a steady game at center. HAROLD WALLIN Letters—Track 2. Harold is a member of our fast 880 relay team and runs the dashes in very fast time. Last year was his first year on the track team, and this year we hope to see more of his bullet-like speed. MORTIMER WEBSTER Letters—Track 2. ”Mort” is another member of the track team. His specialty is heaving the shot, and he puts it close to the league record. UNDERGRADUATE LETTERMEN CLYDE ANDERSON “Andy” will be one of the co-captains for next year, and will be seen showing his speed on the end runs. On the track Andy” marks good time in the 440 and is anchor man on the relay team. LAWRENCE BELCHER ‘‘Dutch” is a center of fine ability on the defense and on the offense work, and is fast in the bnckfield in covering kicks and passse “Dutch” is a Junior, but will be unable to play next year because of his age. HAROLD COOMBS “Speed” had the record of high scoring this year, and this accounts for his power to drive. On the defense when “Speed” backed up the line, a play never went more than a yard. He is ineligible to play next year because of age. WARREN HOFFMAN “Nig” was a long and lean tackle. In the first game of the season he received an injury which kept him out of the games for the rest of the season. This was his last year; he will be a great loss to the team. HAROLD McCAULEY “Slip” is one of our forwards of marked ability, and, when a point is needed, he can be depended on to do his part. In the mile run “Slip” sets a very good mark. THOMAS SIMPSON “Tom” has worked hard his three years in high school. Although he is not outstanding as a player, he plays a clean, hard game. “Tom” will be one of our co-cnptains next year. JACK TERRY “Jack” was an outstanding end this year, and proved himself by covering up punts and catching passes which made him a threat to any team. In basketball Jack had the honor of being the first Athens player to make the all-League selection. JOHN MCDONALD Letters—Football 2; Basketball 2; Track 3. “Slim” was captain of our football team in 32” and proved to be a very capable leader. Although “Slim was ineligible for this year, he was a great help to the coach as an assistant. Ho was a good defensive player in basketball and set good marks in track. BERNARD RYAN Letters—-Football 2; Basketball 2: Track 2. “Stub” was a real triple threat man. He was noted for his enolheadedness when in the act of passing or kicking. “Stub” is a very clever basketball player and clears the bamboo in the pole vault in record height. GORDON LEWIS Letters—Football 2. ”C ord” was a hard fighting halfback and he loved the game. He was a small man. but what he lacked in weight he made up in fight. When a ball-carrier was hit by one of his fierce tackles, he was sure to stop without a gain. WILLARD COOK Letters—Football 1. Willard, played a steady game at the guard position this year. He was very light and had the speed to lead a play. He proved to be a tower of strength on the offense. This was his first year as well as his last. CARL BOWEN Letters—Track 1. “Zuke” was the lend off man on our championship relay team. In the 220 yard dash he places well on the front, and this year we hope to see him out in front winning as it is his last year. ARTHUR MINIER Letters—Basketball I Mgr. “Art” was our faithful basketball manager and was always ready to give a helping hand whenever possible. Manager is one of the hardest positions on a squad and “Art” overcame it with marked success. PAUL ANDERSON Paul, played end on the varsity football team the first part of the season, but was later moved to a bnckfield post. He did not see ns much action in football this year as did most of the players, but next year we hope to see him as a fast and shifty runner. VERN CASSELBURY Vern filled the position of quarterback for part of the season anil proved that he was a field general. Next year Vern will fill the position left by McDonald and will prove he is a runner and bucker. SAMUEL FAIRBANKS “Sam” is always there with his fighting heart whether in defeat or victory. He played a steady game of football, but waited until basketball to win his letter. JOHN LUCY MGR. “Doc” is too small to take part in football, but ho loved the game. Whenever a fellow was hurt or needed help. “Doc” was right on the spot with his little black bag to lend a helping hand. EARL NORTHRUP “Fat” played his last year of football this year. Although he saw little action in League games, he was the spark of the second team which built up the first. LYNN SMITH “Munk” is only a Sophomore and runs the 440 in nearly record time. He is also a member of the 880 relay team. We expect great things of him before he hangs up his spike shoes. Page forty-eight MARION ELLISON “Marion” was a merry maiden who put a lot of pep into every cheer practice and Kave the team some real support at the games. JUNE BROWN “Brownie” was an energetic enthusiast who played every game from the sidelines and put plenty of pep and ginger into the cheering. ETHEL PATTON “Pat” was a cheerful cheerleader whrse untiring efforts and good sportsmanship were appreciated by the team, the cheering section, and other cheerleaders. CHARLIDE CHAFFEE Letter—Basketball 3. “Chaffee” as our center player gave her best to each game. Without her splendid ability, we would never have succeeded as we have during the last three years. ELENA SMITH Letter—Basketball I. “Lena” was both a crack guard and forward. Dependability was her middle name She was a fighter and played a hard, clean game.

With poetry I’m just not there, I cannot make the grade; It matters not how hard I try, The poetry won’t he made. I sit and think and ponder o’er Some subjects for a ballad; The longer I sit, the less I know Of subjects that are valid. And so you see the truth is this, I’m unfitted for this stuff; Although I’ve tried to do my best, The best is not enough. And now I’ve tried for one whole hour To write for you some verse; And instead of getting better, It just gets worse and worse. So I guess I’ll have to call it off And try another day, When I get tin inspiration And the muses lean my way. Hazle Pearn. MY WHITE ROSE I have a beautiful white rose, Everyday in my heart deeper and deeper it grows. I love my rose the best of all, When day is done and shadows fall. When all the world is wandering home, And just we two are all alone. Out of the window in the misty haze, At the silvery stars I lie and gaze. From a glittering star you come to me O gorgeous rose, faithful will I always be. BETWEEN TWO FIRES Youth stands between two blazing fires; The eternal fires of death cast their shadow before. But the youth, the strong, ignores the darkening flame And piles on high fuel of hope and faith, In fervent eager haste, to the white flame of life. Should he grow disheartened, and find from whence his Fuel has vanished, and, should he search to discover, He would find the spirits of hope no longer hover. Then the flame becomes dim and cold and shadows doth him enfold. Adelaide Frisbie. THE SUN WORSHIPPER What bronze figure is that on yon wild cliff, Beneath which the mountain torrents are raging swift? What light is that which gleams in his smoldering eye, As he hastes him toward the evening sky ? What is that he gleans in eager haste On the broad beams of the Sun God’s darts ? Is it the fire that races through his pulsing veins? And the song that bursts from his eager brain ? Oh, I know him now! He is the flame of youth, From the sun his veins a fluid drain That makes him the symbol And the idol of a wracked and wretched world. Earl Mekeel. Agnes Gowan. SENIOR RECORDS ARMSTRONG.
