Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1946 volume:

THE ATHENIAN 1946 Published by THE STUDENTS of ATHENS HIGH SCHOOL ATHENS. PA. Theme The members of the Senior Class of 1946 take great pride in presenting “The Athenian,” one of the most colorful circuses in existence. The one thing which makes it different from other circuses is that there is no admission charge, but to leave one must present all the qualifications for a diploma. June 4th will be the last time you will be able to see the Seniors do their world famous act on the high wire of learning, because they arc going into retirement after this performance. They worked eleven years perfecting this act, and they have been the stars of the show for the past year. After you have witnessed this breath-taking act, 1 will take you on a guided tour of the grounds. While there, we will have a glimpse into the future and sec how the Seniors are making out ten years from now and also see the last will and testament of the Senior Class of 1946. There will be views of the underclassmen, our future stars, at work perfecting their individual acts. You will also get views into our music department where all music for the circus is rehearsed. The side shows will produce anything from athletic feats to a political discussion. Thus you see on the grounds of “The Athenian” we have quite an organization. This great and illustrious circus is only possible through the backing of our loyal sponsors. Alma Mater Where the waters, mingling softly, Cast their silvery chains Round our peaceful little Athens Alma Mater reigns. With the sturdy hills around her Guarding from all storm, And her proud head, crowned hy heaven, Stands she, safe from harm. Chorus: Sing her praise in swelling chorus, Raise her to the sky, Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail, dear Athens High! Athe«s High Dedication We, the class of 1946, feci it is a great honor and privilege to dedicate our yearbook to a man who, as well as a teacher, has been both a friend and counselor to all of us. He has been a teacher in the Athens High School for the past quarter of a century. He became principal of the Athens Senior High School in the year 1936 and has continued in that capacity ever since. His fairness and willingness to help all who need him have always endeared him to the students with whom he comes in contact. So it is with great pride that we dedicate the 1946 Athenian to you, Mr. Hazard, and wish you the best of luck in the years to come. Irving W.

The members of the Class of 1946 have the distinction of being the senior class of the Victory year. Although peace has been declared there is a great struggle ahead to maintain and protect that peace. The nations can not afford to—they dare not—assume that all danger is over and that they may now indifferently go about their individual selfish interests without regard for their neighbors. By the same token you members of the graduating class of 1946 who have just won high school graduation and your diplomas must not be content with that accomplishment. Assure yourselves of maintaining your rightful position in this world ahead of you by continuing your education. Even though you cannot go on to college or university you will be able to add to your knowledge through many desirable means. Good music, plays, radio discussions, and an unending source of helpful magazines and books arc always available May you maintain this victory which you celebrate on graduation by keeping yourselves alert, informed on what is happening, happy in your work, and above all, with full faith in your own worth.

They live and work together actuated by the thought that over and above everything else is the show. The acts of each performer are judged not by his nationality but by how well he contributes to the success of the show. The peoples of the world must do likewise and over and above everything else, place the good of humanity. Only so will peace come and security and happiness. These are not obtained by direct search for them but come only as by-products of successful living for a cause greater than self. The intelligent and trained performer in the circus of life must study and work to show the way, if the universal blighting disaster of war is never again to afflict the human race. Best wishes for the success of your act. Sincerely, Irving W. Hazard Irving W. Hazard Principal Senior High School Seniors ef 13 Senior Class OFFICERS - t v .

It’s been fun getting here but it has also been work. Let us look back over the years and watch our climb up the ladder to the top. We, the Class of ’46, entered into the competition of the Circus (better known as Athens High School) in September, 1943. In October, the Juniors and Seniors welcomed us Sophomore clowns with a dance. It wasn’t any different, really, from the other dances we had attended, but it was significant in the fact that it was given for us. At last, we were on our way. An important decision we had to make during this year was the selection of our class rings, which we believe we did with good taste. The remainder of our Sophomore year was spent in adjusting ourselves to the complicated and somewhat hectic life which consisted of dances, football and basketball games, track, musical festivals, and — oh yes — studies. Emerging from a successful Sophomore year we came into an even more successful Junior year. At the beginning of the year we received our class rings, and elected Grant Alpaugh as Vice President of the Student Council. During this year we maintained and held a supremacy in the field of athletics with the winning of the track meet and the taking of both the intramural volleyball and basketball championships. We wound up the year with the Junior-Senior Prom and the highly approved Junior Play, The Whole Town’s Talking.” In the year 1945 we became the stars, the mighty Seniors. We started the year off with a bang. Calling cards and pictures were exchanged and announcements were ordered. Soon after we ordered our announcements we organized and put over the Annual Minstrel Show . We ended our season in the Big Top with the Senior Play, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Now we are ready to go out into the world and. once more, start at the bottom of the ladder. Seniors EFFIE ALLEN A quiet, tender-hearted girl who is easy to get along with, and enjoys having fun. Likes roller-skating, ice cream sundaes, outdoor sports, and red hair. EfTie likes to visit New Albany and to receive letters from Cincinnati. Her hobby is collecting poems.

J LOYD AMMERMAN We are sure Floyd will put his farm-knowledge to good advantage. One of the Pigskin Chasers, he is apt to be seen driving a truck around town or up at Fraley’s square dancing. Here is success to you, Floyd. Jwl a. 1946 16 Seniors LORENA ARNOLD Who is more quiet than our Lorena? “Rinky” has had her share of tough breaks, but that doesn't stop her. We are always glad to have her around. Her likes are square dancing, and writing letters. She is outstanding in playing the guitar and in singing western songs. HENRY ARNOLD “Hank” is the editor-in-chief of our year book. Noted for his leadership and high marks, he is actively engaged in sports. You can easily tell him by the way he walks. Our class tease, he is fond of colorful ties and likes nothing better “Walt,” the musician of the class, not only plays the violin but also the flute. If you need help with your grocery list, ask Walter. His quiet friendliness will always win you over. PHYLLIS BENSON “Phyl” is a Van Johnson fan who enjoys dramatics, but the feature that is most attractive about her is her friendliness to everyone. With her drawing ability and giggle we know she will go far in college. seems io gc hobbies are Home-Ec. even, thing BITNER roller skates and ravcrly too. Her jotography afcd being a good Lent.

Her hobbies are reading and Home Ec. WALTER BYDAIRK Dancing, skiing, and driving are all characteristic traits of Walt. Now a seaman in the Navy, he won't get much time to read poetry but how about the wolfing? RITA CAHILL Rita, our little jitterbug, keeps us laughing with her Irish wit. Imagine a person who doesn't like steak! It's Rita. Her good looks and lovely hair will always make one look a second time. EDWARD CHAMBERS “Ed” is a Future Fanner whom we usually see driving a milk tmek. He is an excellent square dancer and always has a pleasant smile for everyone. 18 1946 Seniors BARBARA CHANDLER “Barb’s” dimples are an asset in gaining and keeping her scores of friends. Roller-skater, bicyclist and an all around supporter of school sports is our fun loving Barb. DOROTy Her poise, be smile are thr traits. Did certain fel to dance fit af, and pretty r ijHiny winning at there is a ot likes of all Lorts and PHYLLIS COLE “Dilly” likes eating and fat boys. She is very attractive and has a pleasing personality which goes a long way towards making her one of the most popular persons in our class. EVELYN CROWLEY “Evic” is our Irish red-head. Did you ever see those brown eyes sparkle with mischief? They do, more often than you'd think for so quiet a girl! She’s studious and yet finds time to go to movies, dances and swoon over “Bing.” She’s one gal (out of many who likes her blue—Navy! DONALD DANIELS Ah women! Even basketball takes second place when it comes to the feminine lot. Sharp, short and soon a soldier is our Daniel Boone. 1946 X) 4 19 y r fSeniors BETTY EVANS Betty’s hobbies are swimming and teaching a Sunday school class. We know her for her cute grin and contagious laughter. And what is this about a bike-rider that is in the Army? REGINA FARR Regina, our ardent stamp collector, has beautiful dimples which we all like. She really puts her home Ec. to practical use in taking care of her younger brothers and sisters, and we all admire her greatly for it. WILLIAM FENTON Bill likes driving but dislikes road hogs: can't say as we blame him. He is a very good algebra student and wants to make radio school in the Navy. Seems like “Ida Sweet As Apple Cider” is his favorite song. 6 VT iw-r- Carp's star boarder, yes, that’s our Dick. He is a little on the quiet side in study hall, but—? He likes to tease— if you don’t believe us ask Mickey. MARY FINN Talking or singing which does she like the best? We may have a rival for Patrice Munsel in our class, we hope. Marines, gum and color orange (? Mickey likes them all. RICHARD FICE 1946 Seniors PHILLIP FRANKLIN We’re certainly glad to have “Blinky” back in school and in our class since his discharge from the Navy. Please stop drooling, girls, he's taken, even though he calls every girl “sweetheart’1! As an athletic coach, we’re sure he’ll be a success, as he’s a wonderful sport. VIRGINIA FRENCH Reading and roller skating are Virginia's favorites. She's a Navy girl and we can’t blame her. Her singing along w'ith her cheery smile will get her ahead in life. EDWARD GOUDREAU Eddie is our pest when he is not bowling. If you see a fisherman, the Huck Finn type, that’s our classmate, Eddie. But what JAMES GOWAN Wow! Look at the plaid shirt—can’t you guess who? Yes, it’s Jimmy. With zeal for airplanes and zest for good books, he’s ready for any question pretaining to machines. ROBERT GRIMLEY Bob is the strong man of the class. His likes seem to run in the line of football and taking corners on two wheels. What is your motto, Bob, “Slow down at sundown?” 21 1946 Seniors Sc? CC S -0 . Xcju. Lelia's knowledge of languages is tfie object of much admiration by her class- LELIA HAMMOND mates. Reading, studying, and a cute giggle all go to make up one swell girl, “Lee.” LEONA HOFFMAN Although Leona has only been with us a short time, she is everyone's friend. Quiet, studious, and always willing to help others is our Leona. BETTY HOUSE A broad grin, gum chewing, spaghetti, collecting recipes all this and much more mean Betty to us----. 4, r . ■ Leola likes dancing, and Domccons With Leola as chief, is it any wonder the cheerleaders had so much vim and pep? Her hobbies are photography and collecting sheet music. STUART JACKLIN “Stu” is the heavy weight of the class, but his weight certainly proves to be an asset on the football field. Along with riding his bicycle h enjoys wolfing pretty girls. •22 f 1946 Seniors ■ VIOLET JACKSON Believe it or not “Vi” dislikes vacations even though she likes to travel! You can hear her lovely voice in the church choir on Sunday mornings. Be careful! she blushes very easily. ilAH: CECILE JEWELL “Cece” is our class cut-up; keeps the gang in stitches by telling some amusing thing that has just happened to her. She certainly is a whiz on those drums,— plays them for all she's worth. Her wonderful disposition has won her hosts of friends, and we'll all be sorry when she leaves us for a college career. BARBARA KEEGAN Who's that small, attractive brunette on roller skates? Why “Barb,” of course! She's so quiet, you’d never know she was around, but wait a minute, have you heard her sing? You’re missing something if you haven’t! With her looks, personality, and pleasant smile she’ll surely be a success. NORMA KEELER Our class secretary is “Norm,” a very studious girl, but you'd never think it to look at her. Why do they always associate “rattlebrains” with pretty blue-eyed blondes? Norma is one of the top students of our class, but outside of school she’s lots of fun. Her goal is to be a commercial artist, we’re sure she’ll succeed ! DOROTHY JEAN KNOUSE No one can beat “Dot” when it comes to good nature and corny jokes! Always willing to laugh at another’s joke even if it’s on herself. One of her best achievements is playing the trumpet, which she does very well. Remember when she won the music prize last year? For some reason she likes the Army AND farming! ! Could there be a connection? ? ? 4 23 1946 -1 ''V U4. 4 X Seniors FRANK KREAMER Have you seen a red plaid shirt and a butch haircut loping to school? Most likely it's Frank, our one-man circus. He's especially interested in sports, in which he excels. He's sure to succeed in anything he does. CONNIE LENOX One of the best sports and good dancers we know is “Connie better known as “Leaphy. She excells in all her commercial classes. Maybe you've noticed that she has a yen for short fellows who play basketball and her favorite movie star is Dane Clark. . . Look hard —vcyu'll see Jthe resemblance! )RD O’ VA very meri’y sort of person, “Georgie Ov always wears a smile. Her favorite pas- times are skating, dancing, and singing. She's a very valuable addition to the “Triple Trio’ this year. We're sure that her ready smile and easy manner will be an asset to anv office. PHYLLIS MACAFEE When we hear a hearty, good natured giggle, we know Phvllis has arrived. With a good word for all and a French horn kept in tune, she's a swell sport and an ardent admirer of the Army. One of our enthusiastic algebra students, she is looking forward to a successful college career. ROBERT MACAFEE With a keen mind and a willing hand. Bob has done a grand job as our president. Because of his varied interests— calling in our orchestra, specializing in chicks (both kinds . interlocutor of our minstrel, high honor student,—we feel luckv to have him in our class. 1946 Seniors JANET MOLYNEAUX Coming down the hall with an arm full of books and a friendly smile, Janet greets you with a hearty pat on the back. She is the kind that makes things perk. Never dull or dry are classes when Janet's around. And Bruce is a subject never tiring. Best of luck to them both. JACK MOORE A very industrious student and not a bore about it is our curly headed Jack. Also English literature is a delight to him, for he's called a Pilgrim—every time he goes to see his girl he makes Progress. WILLIAM MORLEY The clown of the class is Willy. What he can t tell you about girls, he does about sports. With that wonderful disposition and willingness to help, Bill will get ahead any place. JOHN MURPHY Oh Johnny, why are you blushing so? Whether its the St Patrick in him or just the unusual quietness, he’s sure a good fellow. A lover of hunting and square dancing, this Greenslanding lad is a favorite of ours. CARL OLMSTEAD With a rattle, rattle here it's CarFs truck. He is the happy farmer, bringing the morning milk on his way to school. What would we do though, without his quaint jokes and speedy answers! 1946 25 Seniors JOYCE PATTON There- goes the late bell find comes Pinky. On time? for a train again. Oh, Jerker is a novelty toahy c life wouljk be dull ll she v •PV PRUYNE We'll always remember Wallace because of his exceptionally good work as Drum Major. With his corny jokes and love of girls he is at home in shorthand class. LEOLA RAYMOND Leola's love of sports and ability in basketball make her the envy of the opposing team. She is always friendly to everyone, but what you will notice first about Leola is her beautiful hair. DOROTHY ROBBINS Mr. Hazard's very efficient secretary, Dorothx has great scholastic ability . If you are over East Athens way, you will probabb see her riding her horse. Don't ever leave her standing on a street corner, for, I warn you, she won't like it! (Who would? We are positive she will attain success in whatever she undertakes. CORABELLE ROBINSON Did you ever see such prrrtv wavy hair? It's 'Corkv s crowning glon, much admired b us She loves a good � oke and you'll ohen hear her giggling over the latest moron ston. Her typewriter makes up for her quietness and she's a very efficient worker. 1946 Seniors DORIS ROBINSON With her willingness to help, Doris has won many friends. Her quietness is definitely an asset as is her work in Home Ec. She is on her way to the top in life. PHYLLIS ROBINSON “Just a minute, I must get my algebra and shorthand done. ’ Yes, working like a beaver, Phyi feels sure that homework comes first and her marks prose it. Nevertheless, she is the first to help if am thing is to he done. G ELAINE RLBRIGHT Pumping her bir k and jotting down notes not difficult for Elaine.

Seniors BETTY SILKMAN Betty is our ardent sports fan. Could it be one of the players! With her cheery smile for everyone and her skill in Home Ec. she ll go places in the world. We all thought she was rather quiet but she certainly fooled us when we saw the minstrel. Eyes that gleam and teeth that sparkle, Betty’s a sharp shootin bowler Cheering, chewing and cracking jokes, along with keeping up with the Navy blue, are not hardships for Smittv. One of the best to have around, nothing is too corny for her to laugh at. HILA JANE SMITH Playing the piano and singing are just two of Hila’s many talents. Her sunny disposition, her love of eating, telling jokes and her laugh endear her to all. EDWARD SOLOMAN Not only the card shark of our class, but also our first Marine is Ed. It will seem queer not to see a flashy bow tie and red socks, but his smooth looks will add to the uniform and we’re all with him one hundred per cent. a 28 f 1946 Seniors ANNE WATKINS If you sec a gang of fellows in the hall, ten to one you’ll find “Annie” in the center. A short feather cut, a cute giggle, and her mouth running 50 miles an hour, she’s a whiz on the dance floor. She wears that pea coat because her man’s in the Navy! THEODORE SWAN Who's whistling? Sure and just look for a New York license, Barbers’ service car, or a blonde, and there'll be Ted. He’s definitely a great addition to the class and we’re glad Athens is his Alma Mater. CHARLES THOMPSON Quiet, reserved and always searching books for correct answers is our Charlie. We seldom hear from him but when we do, it counts. He is off to a good start in the world. CHARLES UTTER We usually see Charlie dodging the pedestrians. He is the wolf of the class and keeps us entertained with his corny jokes. He always has a nice smile for all. LESTER UTTER Toot! Toot! Look at the black Buick taking the corner on two wheels. It’s Lester at the wheel. Good natured, slow, and easy about everything, he is a true farmer. 1946 tf'+'ok tc jt Kj h8( 29 Seniors BETTE WATSON Bette, it seems, is noted for her sneezing—if you call it that—no louder than a sigh! She’s one of the Senior class's brightest students, excelling in English. Her pleasant smile, pretty face, and winning personality all combined to make up a peach of a gal. ALBERTA WILLIAMS How much is this bar of soap? And with a broad grin, Alberta answers the question. Snapping black eyes, unusual giggle, a heart as big as the ocean, and a friend to all—that's Alberta. GLEN WOOD Shaip pool player, speedy remarks and silly giggle make up Glen. Following in the footsteps of his brothers, he’s out for the Army. With all his fine character traits, we're all sure he’ll make a go ot his new job. WARREN WOOD Hats off to Woody—one of the first “GIY' to come back and finish; everyone admires his determination and effort, for he’s doing a first class job. Because of his love of sports, he plans to enter college next year and won't he make a good coach! RITA WOODBURN Rita is the possessor of pretty hair, cute turned up nose and a lovely singing voice. With her wonderful personality we feel sure she will always have scores of friends. 30 ► 1946 1. Future Farmers 2. Jean and family 3. Bring 'em back alive, Moore and Carpenter 4.

The circus was in town and the class of 1946 was hilariously enjoying it all. As we joined the milling crowd traveling down the Midway, suddenly from out of a semi-darkened door there appeared a stooped, wrinkled old man. “Come! Come! See the greatest discovery of the ages, brought direct from Tibet the land of ancient mystery. For the small sum of two thin dimes, see what mankind has wanted to see down thru all the ages—never before revealed to man. Come! Come! Hurry! Hurry! Youth now has what age never had.” “Don’t be afraid, my young friends. You are very lucky. You will be the first to sec in action—a Time Machine! Just think, we will be able to pierce the misty veils of the future and see ahead ten, twenty, or even a hundred years. See. I have it set at ten years. Sit down.” Gingerly we sat on the edges of our chairs, our teeth chattering and our knees shaking. Suddenly he pushed a button and the room was plunged into darkness. Except for a slight whirring noise, it was completely silent. In our intenseness, we forgot our uncomfortable seats and our mysterious surroundings, for this is what we saw concerning our own class of 1946: L. Hoffman—A governess, takes care of problem children with reputations of being “little brats.” In her spare time she indulges in interior decorating. H. Arnold—A manufacturer of “brass hats” at West Point. Business is good on account of his reputation at Army’s greatest center. J. Chaffee—One of the best dressed women in the world, has an exclusive exhibit of her own wardrobe in the new World’s Fair. R. Grim lev—Is the toughest of New York taxi drivers, able to drive down Broadway while asleep. P. Benson—Is a photographer’s model, posing for McClelland Barclay, as the typical American schoolgirl. W. Bydairk—Is now a full-fledged undertaker. He lays them out in life like manner. M. Finn Is solo soprano in the Metropolitan opera. R. Fice—The owner of the Fice Balloon Company, manufacturers of all-steel, toy balloons. They’re hard to blow up, but you can’t break them with a pin. J. Gowan—Is drawing all the murals for the 1960 National Art Exhibition. R. Cahill—Is a model in the very swank Parisian Gowns Inc., operated by E. Allen and J. Bitner. “Form Fitting Formals” for high school girls is one of their matchless creations. Class Prophecy S. Jacklin—The mathematical wizard, has discovered the fifth dimension. Ques- tioned, he replied, “You wouldn’t understand it anyway.” L. Howard—Is an air hostess, the number of men traveling in airplanes has now doubled. W. Fenton—Has completed work on Athens radio station—heard north to Waver-ly and south to Milan. B. Evans—Is a secretary in her grandfather’s lumber company--the reason for the boom in his business. T. Swan P. Franklin—The famous playboy movie stars, have revealed their in- tention to settle down to quiet home life. Cries from girls all over the world are heard. P. Cole—Is a lion tamer, using no whip, but captivating them with her winning smile. D. Daniels—Is a famous football coach. His boys have won all the places on the 1960 All-American. E. Crowley—Is a nurse operating her own sanitarium for broken-down high school students, reviving them before it is too late. E. Chambers—Raises hogs. He has a theory that “They’re so human.” D. Cole—Is manager of the 1960 World’s Fair, exhibiting many of her classmates as “freaks.” E. Goudreau—Is a “Fuller brush man.” He is celebrating his seventh anniversary with the firm, but so far has not sold any brushes. M. Allis—Is a hostess in a Horn and Hardart restaurant. The business men enjoy her “engaging” personality. F. Am merman—Has just received the master Farmers Award for propagating “Dates Delight” an odorless, tearless onion. B. Chandler—Is superintendent of the Philadelphia Children’s Hospital, and is greatly loved by all the patients. G. Alpaugh—Has risen to general manager of Assorted Products, Ltd.

Class History We greet you from our somewhat humble position as Junior clowns knowing that we shall be the main attraction in the Big Show of 1947. To us, our class seems to surpass those of previous years, but in reality it differs very slightly. We have the usual outstanding individuals in the various phases of life, such as athletes, musicians, and dramatists. When in their sophomore year, the boys of our class placed second only to the seniors in the annual track meet. Two of our girls, Jean Arnold and Phyllis Stevens, became cheer-leaders in that same year. Among the many activities which we sponsored in this, our first year in senior high school, were a roller skating party, dances, and movies. The Thespian Club presented two plays entitled “Rimer” and “Dates Inc.” It also was our privilege to v. decorate the auditorium for the Baccalaureate service. As sophomores, we chose officers whom we considered best qualified to fulfill the responsibilities of their respective positions. Our president was Victor Bird; vice-president, Richard Swetland; secretary, Emily Adams, and treasurer, Lois Sabin. While still in the outer ring of this three ring circus, we chose our class rings which were black and gold. We received our rings in October of 1945. We returned to A.H.S. in the fall of ’45, bringing us one step closer to the center ring. Miss Bean and Miss Cooper have given us much thoughtful guidance as we chug along toward our goal, and we wish to extend our appreciation to them. The class officers for our junior year are: President, Allen Twigg; vice-presi- dent, Phyllis Stevens; secretary’, Betty Phelps; and treasurer, Lois Smith. Richard Swetland was elected to the office of vice-president of the senior high school, and he automatically will become president in his senior year. The juniors and seniors entertained the sophomores at a welcoming dance, and various members of these classes presented a musical program. For the first time in several years, we have a school dance orchestra which is under the direction of Richard Swetland. Another member of our class, Phyllis Stevens, also plays with this orchestra. “Swetland’s Swingsters” have furnished music for several school dances, and we wish to thank them for their efforts. We shall soon be the feature attraction in the Big Show, and it will be our aim as the Chief Performers to uphold the excellent example set by the graduating class of this year.

Class History Finally, we arc part of the Big Show. We are now on the bottom rung of the ladder which will lead us to our Star Performance, our Senior year. We were welcomed into the act by the annual sophomore welcoming dance, given by the junior and senior classes. We sophomores think that this dance excelled as it was studded with features such as tap dancing, trumpet solos, and singing. In November, we found time to elect our class officers who would lead us to Stardom. The officers elected are: President, Edward Tracy; vice-president, Don Sumner; secretary, Janice Twigg; treasurer, Gloria Du Puis. The members of the student council were also elected. Those elected for two years are Paul Lambert and Phyllis Allen. The members elected for one year are Leon Fice and Marjorie Bradley. 40 After our elections our task was to raise money in order to stage our performance. We selected a movie which was shown in the auditorium. The proceeds of this movie gave us a start in the financial world. By this time we had started organizing clubs. The first one was the Thespian Club, a dramatic club organized and composed entirely of sophomores. The Thespians have presented two plays, “Elizabeth or Liz,” and “Elmer and the Love Bug.” Some other clubs in which the sophomores are very active are the Girls’ Athletic Club, The Tri-Hi-V, and the Hi-Y, the latter two being sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. We sophomores have also selected our class-rings, which we will receive next fall as our ticket into the Big Show. We are glad to be on our way to the Star Performance, and we will always remember our first year under the Big Top.

The club is divided into two groups under the presidencies of Mademoiselle Norma Keeler and Monsier Richard Lesh. Program chairmen Philippe” Stevens and Lelie” Hammond lead us into discussions of French art. literature, and music before we relax and play our famous Number game. And since the treasurers count the money in French we never do know how rich we are! C’est dommaze! Spanish Club It is time for the monthly Spanish club meetings. The members arrive with their cheers’ greetings of ‘Buenas Noches”: thus La Cofradio” is in session. The respective presidents. Senor Wendell Hammond and Senor Leslie Palmer, are presiding. After discussing the success of the Spanish newspaper and the Spanish program presented in assembly before Christmas, we talk of plans for a gala Spanish fiesta dance.

Thespian Club The Thespian Club, our dramatic side show, is doing its part to make the big performance an interesting, as well as educational one. The Thespians were organized last year under the direction of Miss Cooper and Miss Bean. This club enables us to get some experience ‘‘on stage” before tackling our junior and senior activities. Our two plays, ‘‘Elizabeth or Liz” and Elmer and the Love Bug” were jovially accepted by our upper classmen. We enjoyed our year as members of the Thespians and wish the club many more prosperous and entertaining years in Athens High School. Staled—J. Twigg, P. Beardsley, J. Campbell, P. Bourdette, J.

Discussion Club “No, I do not think we should have compulsory military training.” “On the other hand, it would have its definite advantages.” Yes sir, folks, greatest hunch of orators this side of the Rockies! Just look at the topics they discuss, and listen folks, you can’t lose on this sideshow. Evervone should be informed on the current social problems. Now that you’re in at last, you are quite astonished at the amazing debates that you hear. This club is composed of people who are interested in and eager to be up to date on history. Democrats, Republicans, and possibly even Communists arc represented. This side show is truly a democratic organization which helps students form definite, unbiased personal opinions.

The Tri-Hi-Y Club is a State Organization of High School girls banded together “To Create, Maintain and Extend Through the School and Community High Standards of Christian Character.” The movement was federated on March 15, 1930, and since that time has grown until there are at the present time approximately 366 clubs with an enrollment of at least 1 7,000 girls. Throughout our state, High School authorities and others bear testimony to the fact that the Tri-Hi-Y has met a long-felt need of a character-building organization for girls in the high school. Athens High School Tri-Hi-Y Club has a membership of 90 girls. Officers of the Club are as follows: President: Ruth Shumway Vice-President: Mary Ann Raulerson Secretaries: Bette Watson, Jean Arnold Treasurer: Dorothy Cole. Counselor: Miss Reagan. Club Advisor: Mrs. Crediford. 52 TRI-HI-Y CALENDAR OF ACTIVITIES SEPTEMBER Induction of new members and explanation of Tri-Hi-Y. Discuss duties of officers.

Future Farmers of America The major purposes of the F.F.A., the national organization of, by, and for farm boys studying vocational agriculture in secondary schools are to develop agricultural leadership, improved agriculture, cooperation, citizenship, and patriotism. The national organization includes chartered state associations composed of local chapters in the high schools. The local chapter of the F.F.A. was organized in 1935 and has won many national and state honors. Seven boys from our chapter have been awarded the Keystone Farmer degree by the state organization for outstanding work in vocational agriculture. Two of these boys have also been honored by receiving the coveted American Farmer degree at Kansas City. In 1941 one of our members was elected Secretary of the Pennsylvania’s Association of F.F.A. Recently the F.F.A. has conducted leadership training meetings in which the members are taught the proper method of conducting meetings. Last year the Athens chapter had the honor of conducting the county wide meetings in Towanda. Thus we feel that the members of the F'.F.A. in Athens High School are receiving training that will be of real value to them financially and socially and will contribute to their worth as citizens of the community, the state, and the nation.

The Domecon Club is an organization of girls having at least one year of Home Economics. Its purpose is to encourage further interest in domestic economy. The meetings are held monthly in the Home Economics Room. To the meetings each girl brings something that she wishes to learn to do, mainly knitting, crocheting, and embroidery' work. During the fall our activities include the appointing of a committee who sell hot dogs, soft drinks, and candy at all the home football games. Every year the Domecons have a Christmas Party and decorate the hallway of the Senior High School. In the spring we initiate the new members and hold a banquet in their honor. It is usually our custom, too, in the spring, to give a May Day dance. At one of the last meetings of the year the Juniors are awarded We feel that the experience we have had in this club, ilutf h(y?u|� fvision of Mrs. McDonald, will be of great use in the future, and we; foiy i J(i the Domecon Club will be as useful to the younger club members a Left to right seated Wilma Bidlack, Doris Robinson, Elaine Rubright, Corabellc Robinson, Alberta Williams, Betty House, Leola Raymond, Betty Silkman, Norma Parks, Betty Cordner, Ardith Mclntire, Marie Fairbanks, Joyce Russell, Gertrude Brink, Georgianna Lord, Shirley Grimlcy, Janice Wood, Marjorie Allis, Leola Howard.

Black, S. Hunsinger, J. Palmer, J. Shepps, G. Cahill, J. McDaniels, F. Dunbar, M. Van Wormer. The purpose of this organization is to promote the spirit of thrift among pupils of the Junior High School, to carry out whatever duties shall be necessary to handle the accounts of individual savings, and to encourage good citizenship through small financial independence. The Thrift Club was organized six years ago, although the banking system was introduced in the Athens Schools in 1928. Qualifications for membership in this club are honesty, neatness, accuracy, perseverance, courtesy, and cooperation. Each year the Thrift Council is reorganized and new members are voted into the club under the supervision of Miss Katherine Smith, junior high school instructor. Six years ago a bank was made by the boys in shop. Banking each Tuesday in the junior high is done centrally at this bank, where credits, postings, and balancing arc handled by members of the club. The officers for 1945-’46 are John Black, president; David Arnold, vice-president and Shirley Hunsinger, secretary. Much interest has been shown in this thrift project. 56 ) Music «S| 57 Music Music is one of the oldest arts in the country. It goes back to the time when people gathered to watch the splendor of the elephants and circus hand in a parade right up to the present time of school orchestras, choruses, bands and glee clubs such as the ones in the Athens High School. The leader of the band and orchestra of our school is Mr. Coccagnia. Through his help our band has become one of the best bands in the valley. The band plays at the football and basketball games and has made quite a name for itself in the field of music. The Athens band also entertains with a Spring concert every year. While we are giving praise to the band of the school, we must not forget the orchestra. Being smaller than the band it does not play at as many events, but it certainly deserves much credit for its fine entertainment. The vocal section of the music department under the direction of Miss Wood next comes to mind. It also does splendid work. There are several different types of choruses in this department—the Junior, Senior, and Mixed Choruses. There are two other selected groups known as the Serenaders and Triple Trio. The first is a Junior High group and the second a Senior High group. The Mixed Chorus presented an operetta this year for the first time in years, and it was termed a great success. The Triple Trio is a group of girls who sing at different clubs and outside events as well as in school activities. They are a very popular group in the valley. The Serenaders participate in activities very similar to those of the Triple Trio and are received in the same enthusiastic way. As long as there is good music throughout the country with talent such as that found in the Athens schools, we need not worry about the future of American vouth.

Robert Macafee, interlocutor, handled the affair as a true ringmaster. Our clowns, the end men, provided much laughter. Some of the future performers appeared on our program. Songs, monologues, dances, instrumental solos, a Gay Nineties skit by our ex-servicemen, vocal solos, a Teen-house skit, tableaus—all were excellent all were enthusiastically received by our capacity audience. The outstanding feature of the entertainment was the coronation of the Queen, Norma Keeler, escorted by her attendants. Fourth row—E. Chambers, C. Olmstead, D. Robbins, C. Robinson, M. Allen, E.

Step right up here and see the Pig Skin Chasers. Look them over. Aren’t they fine specimens of manhood, every one? Notice the small number of them. The only reason plausible is that you have to he good to get into the club. 'Phis is borne out by the fact that only twelve members of all the high school boys were admitted this year. Did you say you qualify for the club, sir, but would like to know more about it? Well, outside of having the honor of being a member of the most elite organization in the school, upon graduating, you will receive a beautiful, gold charm. Who pays for it? Why, we earn the money, sir! So far we have sponsored a dance and have had a tag day. Later we plan to show a movie of the 1945 World Series. So you want to join? Alright sir, come right over here to my ofTice.” 66 Football Second row- W. Morlcy, D. Daniels, Wm. Butters, W. Hammond, J. Moore, H. Arnold, R. Grimley, S. Jacklin, E. Palmer, F. Kreamer, D.

The Girls’ Athletic Club is composed of girls in the senior high school interested in sports. To belong to the club each girl must have a required amount of points, which she obtains by playing games, hiking, bowling, etc. Dances are given throughout the year by the club and the money earned is used to help buy the cheerleaders’ uniforms and pay for letters. Letters are presented to the girls after they have earned a given number of points. This is the only organization in the school for which the girls receive athletic letters. Aside from the letters, the girls learn rules of many different games, learn how to referee, and above all learn how to cooperate with each other. The club’s chief interest is to promote clean sportsmanship and citizenship. i 71 Joan Green, Marjorie Swanhart, Erma Smith, Leola Howard, Jean Arnold, Phyllis Stevens. m a jV iS: Drill Team Fifth row—C.
