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!
