TWBNTT-THIRD ANNUAL ATHBN IAN The twenty-third annual Athenian, sponsored by the graduating class of 1935, surely commemorates as fine a group of seniors and undergraduates as any high school of our class can produce. In printing this yearbook we realize that all that is placed between these covers represents us and our school. We feel truly proud of the fine advancement the School Board has made in the last year by introducing two new departments into our curriculum. We are pleased that we have had an opportunity to take up these new subjects, business training and agriculture. By this advancement, together with our regular curricular activities, we are brought to higher levels which we must so maintain that in turn other classes may record their activities in an annual. We. as well as others, will truly enjoy and prize these future annuals of Athens High School. For what we have taken in and grounded in our minds, during these never-to-be-forgotten years in Athens High School, we must give a great deal of credit to our well chosen and beloved faculty. Their loyalty and patience with each one individually has made them honored and respected by us all. We, the Athenian Board of 1935, in publishing this yearbook are filled with the greatest pride and joy, and we hope that it may in future years he a comfort and a means of reviving fond and pleasant memories.

Putting out an annual means continual hard work for all the board members; it means a well organized plan: it means getting the prints to the engraver and the copy to the printer, and if one slows down for one day it means working twice as hard for the next week. First comes planning a budget, receiving bids for engraving and printing, seeing photographers, cutting down costs, editing manuscript, making up the “dummy”, and reading proof. Sometimes I believe that the public does not realize the actual work put on a yearbook. They merely think it is an annual and it is put out each year by the school and that is all. One meets all kinds of hazards, all kinds of people, and all kinds of luck, both good and bad. Then when the “dummy” is at the printer's, and all the Page eighteen
