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

 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. Charley Northrup is sure to swim When he enters life's swift-flowing river, While Lewis tussles with might and main To invent a new kind of flivver, box says that he'll be an inventor, With Savacool a musician. 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.
