Vanderpool, HE Tri-Hi-Y is a charitable club made up of girls. The slogan of the club is “Pure Thoughts, Pure Words, and Pure Actions. ” The platform: “self-improvement, Christian fellowship, and united service. ” The objectives are: “to seek, to find, to show. ” The president is Florence Dunbar, a senior, and the vice-president is Faith Gallagher, a junior. Other officers are: secretary, Alice Halstead, and treasurer, Audrey Fay. This year the Tri-Hi-Y started out with a play called “The Other Ghost’’ with a matinee for the grade schools and a Halloween frolic. In the evening the play was given for the junior and senior high school and anyone else who wished to attend. After the play, there was a dance held in the gym. The Christmas Banquet was held on December 7 for all members of the Tri-Hi-Y and for all the boys who helped Miss Reagan throughout the year. Among the other activities were the candlelight induction ceremony with the Christmas program, the Easter Dance, and the crowning of the Queen of Athens High School at the annual “Senior Evening. ” 28

S tudent Counc J vERY time he steps upon the platform to make C 'an announcement, conduct an assembly or introduce a guest, Athens High is proud of its Student Council president, David Rhoads. It is agreed that he has done a wonderful job in filling out his campaign platform: to establish a more powerful and more efficient Student Council. Under his leadership, Student Council has become a highly industrious group, one which has started to accomplish goals for the improvement of the student body and the high school. The presidency and the vice-presidency of the high school take time and energy. Not all the work is the obvious task of presiding at meetings and assemblies. Dave Rhoads and his understudy, vice-president Bob Rogers, who will take over for ’50 ’51, have proven themselves willing and capable for the positions they undertook. Left to Right: R. Blend.

STUDENT government in the form of a Student Council proved to be of major importance in the lives of Athens High School students. The representatives effected many rules which they believed would benefit the student body. Every other Tuesday of the month the Student Council was found working busily forming new laws and revising the old ones. Many motions promoted fiery discussions which ended in either a new law or in rejection by a majority of the vote. These interested students were constantly working cooperatively to fulfill their objective--to improve the conduct of students and make A. H. S. a respected and admired educational institution. 30
