THE ATHENIAN As the school year opened, the senior pullman was full of commotion and confusion, for the Athenian Staff had started working on the yearbook. When the new staff members werechosen from the junior class, the confusion spread to the day coaches and continued on through the whole train as group pictures were taken. This confusion reigned for months; then, as suddenly as it had come, it stopped. The staff sat with hands folded and eyes full of wonder as they realized that they really did make the ATHENIAN EDITOR Donna Dunning TYPING STAFF LEFT TO RIGHT: E. Merrill, J.

With the sturdy hills around her Guarding from all storm, And her proud head, crowned by 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! 6 FOREWORD Athens High School, situated on the route of the famous Black Diamond, is served everyday by trains which bring to us many of the necessities of our everyday living from all parts of the United States. Many of our fathers or grandfathers were railroaders and no doubt a great many of us, the students of Athens High School, will choose for our career a vocation which will be connected directly or indirectly with the railroad. Therefore, it is only natural for us to choose as the theme of our yearbook this year, a train. The “Athenian” has been divided into several sections, each one representing a different car of the train. These cars are pre-sumed to hold all the different grades and groups that make up Ath-ens High School. The cars are the Engine, the Pullman, the Day Coaches, the Club Car, the Mail Car, and the Observation Car. This train is operated by the support of the faculty and the administration, and through the generosity of the tradesmen of the community. In the first section of our yearbook, the engine of our train, the administration and faculty appear as the Engineers and Crew. It is through their tireless efforts that the students are able to advance to different cars. Following the engine of our train is the Senior Pullman. The privileges granted in this car are hard earned and therefore more deeply appreciated. The senior class has worked together at all times, and will be remembered in Athens High School long after we have left. The grades are not far behind, riding in the Day Coaches. Looking ahead, with the seniors as examples, they are striving to complete their work so that they can be promoted to a car ahead. The Club Car contains all the clubs and organizations of the school. This car also holds the senior and junior plays, and the minstrel. Although some of these clubs are new each one is essential in forming a well balanced school. The Mail Car, of course holds the lettermen, and it is a record of all the sports and athletic organizations in the school. Last but not least is the Observation Car which contains all the curricular activities in the school. Located also in this car are the cafeteria and maintanence staffs. Our main purpose in choosing this theme is to please you, the readers of the “Athenian,” and we sincerely hope that you will find great pleasure in reading this, the record of the senior class of 1952. 7 CL'i iirv,iL M.A Mr. Richard H. Bartholomew, B.A., M. ED. Pennsylvania State College Supervi sing Principal Your train theme for this year is a good one. You have passed and stopped at many stations on your ride toward desirable citizenship. The station stop this year is a major one. Your ride has brought you high school graduation. As you continue your ride, the experiences and knowledges both inside and outside the station will go a long way in helping you in your life’s work. Use them intelligently and wisely. You will also encounter many signal blocks which will demand reflective and constructive thinking, a degree of compromise and a thorough understanding of the other fellow. In behalf of the administration and Boards of Education, we extend to you congratulations. As a graduate, we expect you to carry high the ideals of our alma mater and to be a truly representative citizen of our great republic. We wish you success. BOARD OF EDUCATION STANDING: H. Cole, H.

As a traffic manager I have been unable during the brief duration of the trip to become as well acquainted with you as I would like. It has been a pleasure to have you aboard and I hope that you will ever remember it in the same way. I am sure that, in saying this, I also express the feelings of the crew. As you continue to journey through life from one station to another, we sincerely hope that the points of interest to which you have given special study along this tour with us will help to give greater meaning and satisfaction to every new scene.

Treasurer SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As sophomores we were just a group of young people that were looking forward to a goal, a goal to reach that would make us realize our place in the world of men. Yes, as sophomores we hardly realized, but hoped that someday we would attain all the chances and mannerisms of the seniors. Way back then, as we look back, there were many things done that were imprinted firmly in our minds — there were the many dances, those English classes ond most of all, all the fun we had with our home room day programs. Those skits we planned carefully and carried out beautifully even though our acting wasn’t given much acclaim. Then there were the days of the cafeteria races. These were times when a bundle of humanity came storming down the steps and came roaring down the hall. These days are gone now. The race has slowed down considerably. We realized we were getting older and getting nearer to the dignity of the senior class as we were getting ready to move closer to the goal. Maybe some wouldn’t make it, some would drop along the road of education, but most of us walked the straight and narrow and found ourselves juniors. Juniors at last. Well, we were even closer to the heights of fame. We realized even more that we were gaining on our goal. The junior class that year was more than fun. We remember the chemistry classes — boy, we really showed those chemists how to mix stuff. Of course it didn’t come out right all the time, but we tried again and it wouldn’t come out right again so we tried again. Then there were all those intramurals — we were trying to get a team to beat the Killers. We did, with some help. There were the senior prom decorations, and when we all had to help, we kind of thought we were getting on the inside of the senior class at last. There was the unforgettable trip to Big Pond which was very eventful for all concerned. Then, when some of the fellows in our class pulled up stakes and went to the armed services, we felt that the world affairs were getting even closer to us. When we had all settled down to the work that school offered us, we were sure we were gaining knowledge that would help us some day become seniors and help better ourselves so we would knowhow to govern ourselves when we reached our place in the front of the train. This, we realized, brought us even closer to our goal. We thought that everyday of our work in the junior class brought us even closer to being able to set the standards of the senior class. We took more interest, or so it seemed, in our classes so we would be better suited for the time when we would become the noble class that will be setting examples for the underclassmen. We wanted to accomplish, when we got there, a standard for classes behind us to aim at, to give them a goal to try to reach, such as the one we were trying for. We wanted to show the classes that graduated ahead of us that we could establish as high or higher standards than those that they set for us. This we realized was a goal that we were to reach; if we reached it, we knew we would have accomplished something very worthwhile in our lives. Then the year passed and we became seniors. As we came back to school, we took the front seats in assembly; we also noticed a greater feeling of responsibility as the people of the day coaches looked to us as we were in the halls, in assembly or in meetings. They, you might say, were thinking then what we were thinking not too long ago about that goal. They were thinking too of all the things they would gain being seniors — the liberties and other things of that type that come with being seniors. They thought they would be able to reach the goal we would set, but we believe the senior class of 1952 will set a record that no other class will come close to reaching. 21 JJYL PATRICIA ARNOLD Pat Original member of the class of Academic Course; Chorus 10, ’52. . .near the top of the class 11,12; Band 10,11; Athenian 11, in her studies . . . wi II fight to 12; Teaogan 11,12; Class Seethe death for dear old Navy . . . retary 10; Latin Club 11,12; popular and active in school Discussion Club 11,12; Minstrel . . . efficient business manager 12; G.A.C. 10,11,12; Tri-Hi-Y from away back . . . innocent 10,11,12; Senior Play Business expression . . . hearts and Manager, flowers music, please” . . . enjoyed making chemistry class miserable for everyone . . . loves to tell a good story.

Railroad, we have progressed through the many trials and tribulations that have challenged our upward surge. Our first and foremost goal became making the class of 1953 one of the most progressive, outstanding classes ever to pass through the cars of the A.H.S.R.R. Our junior homeroom advisers are Mr. Dill and Mr. Pruyne. Under their guidance, we organized our homeroom programs. When the all important question of selecting a class ring arose, there was much heated discussion. Finally, one was agreed upon. Election time was drawing near, so we began thinking about candidates for vice-president of the high school and class officers. The democratic method of election, which we diligently followed in the Day Coaches, was used in electing these officers. Minstrel time arrived with the demand for ushers -junior girls, under the direction of Mr. Pruyne, filled these positions; many of our classmates took port in this fine show itself. The junior class was well represented in the extra-curricular activities of the Club Car. We belonged to the Tri-Hi-Y, Girls' Chorus, Girls’ Athletic Club, Junior Class Officers 2nd row — T. Brennan — Vice President; G. Havens - President. 1st row — R. Whipple — Treasurer; P, Schoonover — Secretary. Boys’ and Girls’ Tumbling Teams, Future Farmers of America, Triple Trio, Orchestra, General Chorus, Boys’ Glee Club, Discussion Club, and Dramatics Club. For the boys who earned school letters, there was also the Pigskin Chasers. We were not only majorettes or cheerleaders but we also belonged to some varsity athletic groups. A few of our junior football players made the All-Valley football team. We are well represented in this field. Our lettermen are: Don Hunt, John Farr, Ken Kitchen, Dick John- ston, Henry Regn, Henry Hammond, Franklin Rogers, Bob Perry, Tom Munn, and Bill Cook. Our cheerleaders are Yvonne Kinsman and Romayne Whipple. We have six members in the marching unit of our band and two majorettes, Donna McKeel and Jean Ball. Some of us found time to work on the ’’Teaogan, “Athenian” Staff, or the “Evening Times.” We assisted Miss Wrisley in the library and worked on the Public Address System staff. Last, but not least, came our studies, which were pushed in between some extra curricular activities in the Club Car. Towards the end of the year, we realized we had to begin plans for the Junior Prom. This was to be the farewell dance for the class of 1952 in the Senior Pullman. We had to plan something which our superiors, the seniors, would remember for many years to come. With the end of the school year in sight, we awoke to the fact that two important duties remained before us. The ushers had to be selected and the auditorium decorated for Commencement. It has been tradition in past years for the juniors to do this. As we take a backward glance to review the things we have done in the past few years, we hope we have set an excellent example for the underclassmen in the Day Coaches to follow. We have practiced democracy in all of our activities; we have made our school an outstanding, renowned institution. We have only a few months of school remaining before us. In these few months, we will do our best to support school sponsored activities and functions. This has been one of the most important years in our lives, and as it closes, we realize that our next will be the decisive one. We will leave, to the class of 1954 and ones in the Day Coaches to follow, the heritage we have done our best to uphold aboard the Athens High School Railroad. 48 TOP ROW: K. Kitchen, W.

Hoffman — Treasurer. 1st Row: — M.J. Rhoads — Secretary. Our class takes up the most room in the Day Coaches as we are the largest class in Senior High School. Before we graduate, it is our hope to make it one of the best. Mr. Robert Martin, Mrs. Elizabeth Bresee, and Mrs. Carrie Crediford are the three teachers who will aid us in getting started toward that goal, because they are the Sophomore homeroom advisers. We belong to such clubs as G.A.C., Triple Trio, Boys’ Glee Club, Tumbling Team, Wrestling, F.H.A., F.F.A., Pigskin Chasers, Discussion Club, Spanish and Latin Clubs, and the Dramatic Club under the direction of Mrs. Volechenisky. We are also recognized in the field of sports — baseball, football, basketball, and track. There are several lettermen from each sport. Under the direction of Mr. Oakes and Mrs. Jones, there are intramurals for the students who are not on the school teams. We acknowledge our two cheerleaders, Ann Vallilee and Peggy Brown with pride. Many students participate in the band, including Joan Hoffman, Sylvia Fisk, and Patricia Coyle, who are peppy majorettes. We are enjoying our first year in Senior High and look forward to the future here in the halls of our Alma Mater from our seats in the Day Coaches. GRADE 10 TOP ROW: L. Corr, C. Goble, S. Fisk, B.

Much help in preparing us for this step is being given us by our homeroom teachers: Mrs. Scrivens, Miss Pomeroy, Miss Reagan, and Mr. Benson. Each ninth grade homeroom elects its own officers who are in charge of the homeroom meetings. Our presidents are: Judy Canfield, Barbara Casselbury, Marilyn Wheeler, and Ralph Hatch. Our vice-presidents are: John Goble, Jim Walters, Patty Blemle, and Bruce Coston. Secretaries ore: Sylvia Hugo, Earl Carney, Betty Coyle, and Dawn Crossett. We take an active part in playing on and supporting our school teams. We have a wide variety of clubs from which we can choose our favorite. There are the Music, Leadership, Variety, Athletic Education, Craft, Art, Dramatics, and Nature Clubs. We are sure that we will earn our place in the Day Coaches and make our school proud of us.

STANDING: Leland Thompson, Charles Thurston, Ellen Lynch, Floyd Burns, Robert Mitchell, Avis Kinsman, James McNeil, James Hugo, Ann Donlin. STUDENT COUNCIL First and foremost in the Club Car, we find the Student Council. There has been for almost three and a half decades some form of student government in Athens High. The Student Council has been in effect for fifteen years -- the present one being started some eleven years ago by our principal, Mr. Hazard. Members of this council are senior high students chosen by their classmates to help make rules for the good of the school and to help with the general planning and functioning of school affairs. Each class in senior high school has four representatives in this governing body -- two boys and two girls. Under the able supervision of our new adviser, Mr. Bresee, the council and president Richard Parke busily work at the problems concerning the school and students. They learn to solve these problems democratically and get experience in government by doing so. The council meets every Wednesday during the noon activities period in Mr. Bartholomew’s office. At these meetings, the secretary, Esther Rhoades, busily takes notes. On the day following a meeting, the student council president reports to the student body what takes ploce at each gathering of the council. The names of the members absent are reported by him also. Thus, there are not many absentees and the council’s work is more efficiently accomplished. The council this year is trying to better organize the noon hour system. Voluntary student patrols, with bands bearing the insignia AHSG (Athens High Student Government) upon their arms, keep order in the cafeteria, gym, and corridors. Any persons disobeying these students will be brought before the council to be reprimanded. This system is still in the beginning stages, but if it works, a much better organized noon hour will result — the work of your Student Council. These are the main reasons why the Student Council ranks first in the Club Car. 60 PUBLIC ADDRESS OPERATORS BACK ROW: G. White, R. Thorp. MIDDLE ROW: V. Vonderpool, S. Rumpff, R. Ryder, P. Arnold, E.

The system may be reached by both offices, and the engineers, Mr. Hazard and Mr. Bartholomew, make very good use of the system. The Public Address System was installed in Athens a year ago, and it is proving by its great use to be a good investment. There are microphones in every room in the building as well as in the cafeteria and auditorium. There are also two roof microphones. Students, preferably seniors, are taken from study halls to be operators. These operators are chosen for their dependability and as a result of tests given them. The operator's first duty is learning to operate the complicated switchboard which consists of many buttons and dials. Use of the system teaches the operators to speak clearly and accurately and gives them switchboard experience. The first and most important use of the system is for Mr. Hazard to make general announcements to the faculty and students about things of common interest. The system can serve two purposes ot once — while one room is listening to a radio program, in another room on announcement can be made. Records, played on the Public Address System phonograph, or radio programs can be transmitted into any class room at the request of the teacher. The operator is given his instructions by the person calling. Students may be called from the class room by the operator. Conversations may be carried on over the intercommunication panel of the system. The public can also enjoy the system. During the Christmas season the roof microphones amplify carols to the public. Carols are also enjoyed in school before and after classes. All in all the Public Address System has proved to be a boon to the entire school and greatly deserves its place in the Club Car. 61 STANDING: Mr . Volechenisky, Richard Park , Joan Tracy, Evalyn Clark, Richard Crandall, Gerald Koon . SEATED: Philip Horton, Nancy Crone, Bonnie Rumpff, Lois Van Sice, Robert Sturdevant. SENIOR PLAY The class of 1952 may well be proud of their senior play, Apple of his Eye.” The tryouts were held and the chosen cast was: Sam Stover, the middle-aged gentleman farmer (Richard Parke); Lily Tobin, the object of Sam’s affections (Joan Tracy); Tude Bowers, Sam’s confident and handyman (Dick Crandall); Tude’s wife, Nettie (Evalyn Clark); vinegar tongued Stella Springer (Lois Van Sice); Stella’s husband, Foss (Bob Sturdevant); Nina and Glenn Stover, Sam's son and daughter-in-law, (Nancy Crone and Philip Horton); Olt Tobin, Lily’s father (Gerald Koons); Sam’s young granddaughter, Carol Ann (Bonnie Rumpff). The scene is Sam’s Maple Lawn Farm, Highland Township, Montgomery, Indiana. The story is Sam’s love troubles with Lily. In the first scene, Sam has a hard case of spring fever. Sam confesses to Tude who prescribes a cure. Sam asks Lily to go to Greenwood Lake for a chop suey supper. Lily accepts, but an avoidable situation arises; Sam has to spend the evening caring for a cow. Lily stays to help -- to Sam’s advantage. Sam asks Lily to go to the county seat on business but she refuses, after Carol Ann asks him to take her to the carnival, Lily changes her mind and wants to go, too. Sam, finding himself in a fix, persuades Carol Ann, with the help of Nina, to stay home. The next morning Sam has a very lame back, acquired wrestling at the carnival. With Stella and Tude giving cures and Glenn and Nina lecturing, Sam has a hectic day. The climax comes when Olt tells Sam, politely, to either marry Lily or not see her anymore; Sam is so disgusted that he fires Lily, who is heart broken and makes plans to visit her aunt. Lily comes to say good-bye, and Sam declares his love. The play, under the direction of Mrs. Volechen-isky, was a huge success. 62 OM, SCHOOL DAZE The curtain arose, the glittering lights shone from the stage as we started our annual variety show. The theme of our show was School Daze, starring as master of ceremonies, Tom Crawford. Our dazzling endmen, amusing not only themselves but the huge audiences, were Guy Howard, CI if Krea-mer, Ed Zacharias, Bob Rogers, Ken Rogers, Keith Horton, and Spike Fice. Then the premiere ends, Bill Thompson and Glenn Rinker, came dancing in to the tune of Sailing Away on the Henry Clay. Bill Thompson then entertained the audience with his unique musical number ‘‘Possibilities.” GlennRinker and Delores Scrivens delighted the crowd with the old fashion Charleston and were called back for more. The senior class routine gave an excellent tap and musical number of The Sorority.” Another senior tap routine amused the audience as the whole company sang Betty Co-ed which was led by the quartet of the evening Hugh Munn, Ronnie Catlin, Leslie Miller, and Eddie Drew. Faith Gallagher was outstanding in a comedy monologue; she gave An Old Woman in a College Town. Another monologue that was very well done by Angeline Calabucci was Take Me Out to the Ball Game. There were many more musical numbers, monologues, skits and jokes that were both humorous and serious to make the evening complete. The last number on the program was Mockin' Bird Hill”, sung by the Rhoads girls, Esther and Mary Jane. Suspense mounted as everyone waited for the revealing of the girl who would be crowned queen of Athens High School. It was Faith Gallagher who was elected and rated highest for personality, citizenship, responsibility, and scholarship as well as beauty. Tri-Hi-Y's president, Mary Lou McNeil, crowned her as Keith Horton serenaded her with Moonlight and Roses, a lovely climax to an exciting evening. 63 71£!X a rc F.H.A. CLUB BACK ROW: D. Havens, V.

DOMECON CLUB In the Club Car, the Domecon Club, a national organization of Future Homemakers of America, is an organization of girls interested in home making. The club is under the guidance of Miss Pomeroy. Officers of the club are as follows: president - Ellen Chandler, first vice-president - Mary Hoffman, second vice-president - Jean Ball, secretary - Doris Stranger, treasurer - Mary White, sergeant of arms - Barbara Sessaman, chairman of recreation - Joanne Tompkins. The octagonal-shape emblem is in the club colors red and white and bears the name of the club. The motto of the club is Toward New Horizons” and the flower is the red rose. The Domecon members try to attain these purposes: (1) To promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of home making; (2) To emphasize the importance of worthy home membership; (3) To encouroge democracy in home and community life; (4) To work for good home and family life for all; (5) To promote international good will; (6) To foster the development of creative leadership in home and community life; (7) To provide wholesome individual and group recreation; (8) To further interest in home economics. Each year new members are brought into the club with an initiation ceremony that is very amusing. At Christmas time, Domecon members make the school cheerful by putting up a Christmas tree and decorating the halls with evergreen. The Domecon is a very active club. The Domecon activities include selling food at the football games, and sponsoring the annual St. Valentine's Day Dance. Every spring the girls have a fashion show in which each girl displays the clothes she has made. Every year the Domecon gives some present to the Hom Ec. Rooms. These are only a few of the things that the Dome con Club does; it has proven itself to be a very helf ful as well as useful club to the school and the Clk Car. 64 Top row: F. Bradly, R. Thurston, C.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Next in the Club Cor, we find the Athens chapter of the Future Formers of America, known to many of us as the F. F. A. This club has been progressing since 1935 under the able leadership of Marshal Van Scoten--better known as “Von.” The club is limited to agriculture students only. The aim of this club is to understand and improve farming methods. The agriculture students have different projects to undertake, and if they succeed, they enter the projects in state fairs. Our students have been known to take at least one of the top three prizes. During the club organization for the school year of 1951-1952, the members elected as their president a senior, Donald Collear, who is proving to fill that office very efficiently in the handling of the club plans. The other officers for this year are: vice-president - Gerald Bradley, secretary - La Verne McNamara, and treasurer - Arthur Dimcok. These officers are conscientiously trying to follow the path paved by previous officers of the club. This year as in previous years, the new members, who are generally freshmen, are welcomed into this friendly, but hard-working group to become full-pledged members. The fellows are given a hard and highly amusing initiation. Each member of the club is sporting a bright blue corduroy jacket with his name, emblem, and the office he holds. The senior members are working hord, and each one secretly hopes he is the one worthy of the “Dale Moore Memorial Prize. This is the prize contributed by Mr. and Mrs. V. T. Moore in memory of their son and is given to the outstanding senior agriculture student. The members of the F. F. A. also have their own basketball team and greatly enjoy themselves by playing hard, fast games of basketball. We are sure that the Future Farmers of America well deserve the place they hold in the Club Car. 65 ft AKUfrnd Top row: S. Rumpff, V. Vanderpool, S. Havens, M. Rogers, J. Burnett, L. Wells.

R. is composed of girls from senior high school who have shown interest in sports. Mrs. Jones, girls' physical education instructor, is the director. The members take part in hikes, sleighrides, basketball gomes, sponsor the annual Ragamuffin Dance, play Waverly and Sayre's girls’ teams, swim at the Y. W. C. A. in Elmira. They hold a picnic ot the end of the year at which they, entertain the football, baseball, and basketball teams. The club functions on the point system. A girl receives a certain number of points for each activity in which she participates. At the end of the school year, if she has earned 500 points, attended three fourths of the meetings, and paid all her dues, she will receive an emblem or medal. A few woys these points moy be earned are: dancing, basketball, volleyball, and skating. Last year a new activity was inaugurated. This was the Athens club’s sponsoring on annual Play Day. Girls from ail surrounding schools were invited to participate in the jamboree. They were divided into teams, and an award was given to the team winning the most games. The officers for the year 1951-1952 are: Lois Van Sice, president; Pauline Schoonover, vice-president; Yvonne Kinsman, secretary; Donna Lupton, recording secretary, and Rosemary Rogers treasurer. We extend best wishes to the G. A. C. aboard the A. H. S. Railroad. 67 cm Top row: M. Zulkosky, J. Northrop, V. Vanderpool, J. Hoffman, E. Lynch, P. Lynch, N. Haight, P. Whipple, M. Simpson, S.

Hi-Tri-Y is an organization for girls and boys in senior high school. Its purpose is tc create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” The platform consists of self-improvement, Christian fellowship, and united service. The club symbol is a triangle which stands for spirit, mind, and body. The objective of the club is “To seek, to find, to shore, while their slogan is Pure Thoughts, Pure Words, Pure Actions.” The club colors are red, white, and blue which represent sacrifice, purity, and loyalty. The club is for Christian girls regardless of race, creed or color. The officers for the 1951 - 1952 year are: president, Joan Tracy; vice-president, Beverly Dunbar; secretary, Romayne Whipple; treasurer, Lois Van Sice; pianist, Delores Scrivens; devotional leader, Esther Rhoades. The club has one of the largest memberships of any in the school. The club activities include the Hi-Tri-Y Halowe’en Party and Dance which was held in the gymnasium and a three act mystery play presented by the senior members. Another annual affair is the Christmas Banquet with the faculty and Boys’ Glee Club as guests. The induction ceremony for new members is a very impressive one. The ceremony was held in the dark auditorium with each member carrying a lighted candle. To complete the program, there was the Nativity Scene and the old members formed a living Christmas tree and sang well-known Christmas carols. An Easter dance, the Bunny Hop, is an annual dance sponsored by the club. The club also sponsors the “Queen’s Court.” The queen is crowned at the Senior Evening and her court is made up of girls from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. With the guidance of Miss Reagan the club looks forward to many more years as an organization in the Club Car. 69 Seated left to right: M. Rogers, E. Rhoods, N. RumpH, P. Arnold, B. Dunbar, P.

TEAOGAN The Teaogan, the school magazine now in its sixth year of publication, underwent several changes in its personnel last year. From a publication staffed by juniors only, it was converted into a high school enterprise with an editor and literary staff chosen from senior high school. This has resulted in broader and more desirable coverage of school life. This year’s staff under the guidance of its advisers, Mr. Bresee and Mrs. Scrivens, published Two issues, one fall issue and another in the spring. Clever compositions from student contributors, interviews, essays, editorials, short stories, humor - all played an important part in the Teaogan's makeup. With the beginning of the school year, Mr. Bresee and the editor, Philip Horton, began by selecting new staff members through tryouts. Orientation followed and soon articles and interviews were assigned to each member of the literary staff. Frequent consultation and encouragement resulted in a large supply of material as the publication date neared. Then Mrs. Scrivens and her commercial students came into the picture, proofreading and typing articles onto the matrix or reproducing sheets. With the usual last minute hustle and bustle the Teaogan went to press. It is interesting to note that two of last year’ Teaogans and this year’s fall issue will be entere in the Columbia Scholastic Press Competition Columbia University this spring. A year’s time h elapsed since Athens High School entered the du licated magazine competition in the Columbia Pre Critique. The 1949-50 Teaogan received a sec place certificate of merit rating, incidentally. Our school magazine, the Teaogan, fills an portant place in the school extraceracular activi system, in providing an outlet for good creative ' ing and journalistic ability. 70 Standing: B. Word, E.

The play, “Cheaper By the Dozen, after the book of the same name, is a comedy that was enjoyed by both young and old. The tryouts were held, then came the anxious moments of waiting for the announcement of the cast. The story on which the play is based is about Mr. Gilbreth who is a terrific efficiency expert. It is his belief that what works in the factory will work at home. Although some of the things Dad does are hilarious there is a meaning and a necessary reason for it all. Dad knows he is living on borrowed time, so he is doing his best to make his family efficient and get them as far along in school as possible in order to leave a lighter load for mother. The girls, not knowing this, do not understand why their father regards their interest in dates as a waste of precious time. As Dad is about to leave for Europe, he comes to understand Anne, his oldest daughter, better, and at the same time Anne finds out the truth about her father. The play is humorous, but it has a meaning the audience will never forget. The part of father the prominent efficiency expert was played by Dick Johnston; mother, more a psychologist by Dolores Scrivens; Anne, Ernestine, and Martha, the three oldest daughters whose date problems cause an uproar, Pauline Schoonover, Romayne Whipple, and Mary Lambert; their brothers, who can't imagine what any boy would see in their sisters, portrayed by Paul Shores. Dick Koons, George Havens, Ernest Brown, and George Gowan; the housekeeper, Mrs. Fritzgerald, Shierly Havens; Joe College, cheerleader, and Larry the boy Anne really likes played by Bill De Pew, and Bruce Ward; sympathetic Doctor Burton and the doubting school teocher by Tim Brennan and Ella Johnson. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Michael Volechanisky with her usual capability. 71 iftour am QJtV Hack row: E. Clark, M. Coveney, H. Hammond, J. Me Neal, P. Horton, R. Crandall, R. Bowen, J.

LATIN The Latin Club is one of the more recently formed clubs, being founded in the fall of 1949 by the sponsor, Mrs. Grocemary Alger. The sole purpose of the club is to teach the students more about Latin and the life of the early Roman's. In learning about Roman life, they have skits presented, oral discussion subjects, and slide films. Every club member has an opportunity to take an active part in these programs and at one time or another each has charge of planning one of these activities. Anyone who has taken Latin or who is presently enrolled in the classes may belong. This year having a membership of thirty students, the club meeting alternates every two weeks with the homeroom period. During the reorganization meeting the students reelected Richard Jackson as president of the club. This is Dick’s second year in that office. Donna McKeel and Donald Schmidt were elected vice-president and secretary respectively. CLUB The first port of the meeting is taken up with business. When all the business is taken care of the meeting is turned over to the program chairman, who usually has some form of entertainment or informative program planned to present to the club members. The club has been working extremely hard to get their constitution finished. They have also been thinking of a method which they might be able to pay for their picture in the Athenian. Members of this organization have talked about getting pins or medals to signify the club to which they belong and to make themselves known to the rest of the student body in some way. Nothing defin-ate has been done about ordering these pins but a committee is working deligently in trying to select just the right symbol for the club. Two years ago there were no plans for a Latin Club in the future. Today it has become one of the most promising organizations in the Club Cor. 72 Standing: D. Rogers, J. Hugo, J. Tracy, S.

The sessions are held in a very business like way and they are all conducted in Spanish. Members of the club elected officers who are in charge of the meeting. The officers for Spanish II are as follows: President-Romayne Whipple, Vice-President-Shirley Keir, Secretary - Rose Mary Farr, Tresorera - Bofas Loomis. The officers of Spanish I are Presidente-Juan Tracy, Vice-Presidente - Judy Moore, Secretaria - Elena Lynch, Treasarera - Carol Jones. Spanish II has many projects which proved to be very interesting as well as educational. One of their projects is the taking of a car and describing each of its parts in Spanish. Another is the making of a newspaper which is written in Spanish and sold to the members of the class. The money is put in a treasure and used for the good of the club. Still another project is gathering information about South American countries. Each student is assigned a different country and must gather all the information concerning clothing, customs, products, exports, cities, religion, and geography about that country. Members of the Spanish I were in the United Nations programs and sang the song La Cucaracha and Laura Munn played Malaguena. Spanish I and II have started a new undertaking this year which has proved to be very popular with the students. They are exchanging letters with Spanish speaking countries. The favorite countries are Cuba, Puerto-Rico, Mexico, and Chile. Something else the clubs enjoy are the occasional movies they have about Spanish countries. The Spanish Club has helped many students to become better acquainted with their South American neighbor. 73 J OJft Standing: M. Hinksort, P. Arnold, M. Morley, J. Boll, P. Brown, R. Whipple, B.

DISCUSSION CLUB One of the various clubs that senior high students in Athens can participate in is the Discussion Club. Open for only twenty to thirty members, this club has four definite purposes in mind. First, to develop an inquiring mind in each student belonging to it. This is done by lively discussions on such things as “should there be universal military training in the United States?” Second, to develop tolerance toward new ideas and suggestions. By listening to other member’s opinions and ideas, one soon learns to willingly accept them if they are better than his own. Third, to distinguish between fact and opinions. If one does research on a topic, he can learn the facts of another and contribute those to a debate or discussion instead of just his own opinion. And last, to develop self-control. One does this by waiting to be recognized by the chair and by not blurting out his opinion when another person is talking. The club's beginning dates back to 1946 when Mr. James Pruyne organized it. Mr. Pruyne is still the able supervisor and, if conversation seems to lag, a pert remark from him will set it on its feet again. Perhaps you would like to know how topics for discussion are chosen. Well, the president, this year being able Gerald Koons, appoints a committee of three to look over current news and decide on an interesting topic. The topic they choose to be discussed at the next club meeting is then placed on the bulletin board for all members to see. This enables the members to get ready to give their nickels worth in discussion. Not just serious world topics are discussed though, for sometimes school problems familiar to each student are “talked over”. If one desires a fuller, more complete understanding of today’s problems, he need only join the Discussion Club and participate in its many debates! 74 Standing: J. Solomon, N. Cosselbury, L.

They are chosen from the different gym classes to belong to this club by Mrs. Jones, and she deserves the credit for forming such a practical and worthwhile club. She is the girls’ physical education teacher at Athens High School. The members of this club learn the rules of each sport and the various precepts of play. In gym class each leadership club girl takes a small group aside and explains the proper procedures of serving, passing, scoring, and makes many other useful suggestions to improve the ability of the girls in the gym classes. With the help of these well-trained girls the whole gymnastic system is able to play better games because the classes do not have to depend on one instructor. When the class is divided into groups, each member of the class receives special individual training and instructions from a leadership girl. If it were not for these girls, the other members of the class could not receive this training because one teacher could not get to each one individually. These girls officiate at intramural contests. This is one of the most important duties and privileges of a leadership girl because she has complete authority at these games. The girls have the complete responsibility of carrying on the club meetings. Mrs. Jones believes this helps them to become even better leaders. It has officers who are president, Judy Canfield; vice-president, Nancy Casselbury; secretary-treasurer, Peggy Gordon. Four of our varsity cheerleaders were members of this club. These girls are Romayne Whipple and Yvonne Kinsman, juniors; Peggy Brown and Ann Vallilee, sophomores. One of our Jay Vee cheerleaders is also a leadership girl. This girl is Judy Canfield. This club has functioned only two years, but it has done a very fine job. 75 First row: P. Elsbree, B. Reynolds, D. Kerr, J. Ford, L. Blauvelt, D. Hunt, G. Marx, G. Chandler, S. Hax-ton, P. Grego, D.

NATURE CLUB The two crew members who supervise the 7th and 8th grade nature clubs are Miss Lunger and Mr. Slick. The first nature club was founded three years ago, but Miss Lunger has long thrilled her students with talks on wild life. Last year Mr. Slick gave the boys —and girls—some very helpful hints on hunting and fishing. The interest in the nature club is started in the fifth and sixth grade nature study classes. These classes did with bird, animal, and plant life. Many interesting and preservative hobbies have been started through the club and classes. Bird feeding and bird watching are among the far most of these hobbies. The officers for the 8th grade club are: president-Bill Collins; vice-president-Bill Reynolds; secretary and reporter-Don Murray; program chairman-John Ford; program committee-Ron Burnett and Harvey Barrowcliff. The officers for the 7th grade club are: president-Victor Cohen; secretary and treasurer-Sally Haxton. The 7th grade made studies of animals and birds. which they selected, and made reports to the club on what they had found. The club takes hikes on Saturdays, and the club members are making a flag to take on these hikes with them. The 8th grade club activities include: studying wild birds and animals, having experiments, having nature studies, games, and quizes, studying stones and minerals, having class discussions, going fishing, reading and giving reports, bringing in specimens, and studying trees. Both clubs have many discussions of game laws and organizations, both national and local, which are concerned with some field of nature. These discussions are impressive and useful. The two clubs meet separately, but at the same time. The 8th grade club held a Christmas party which was very much enjoyed by the members. We owe a good deal to the crew members that have placed this club on the agenda of the A.H.S. Railroad. 76 cmjj'kJr uotA r jl Standing: L. Lynch, B. Symons, J. Fox, G. Firestine, E. Carney, A.

Each year the achievements of this club increase. The art club’s purpose is to promote interest in art among the students of Athens High. It, also, offers additional background study and work in high school for students who would like to take up art as a career. The active members of this organization do a fine job bringing joy at Christmas time to the patients in the two valley hospitals by making beautiful cards and distributing the cards to the less fortunate people in these hospitals. The members of this club are students who enjoy working at drawing, painting, sculpturing with model clay, and many other fields which are related to art. Miss Myers does not limit the number who can join this. If she did there would be many students who like art that would not be able to join. Also, there are many girls and boys who are not skilled at drawing when they join the club but have progressed rapidly in it because of the help they received from their instructor. The members of this club may do whatever they want in the field of art. The ambitious artists have done a wide variety of work with water colors, charcoal drawings, difficult finger painting. The more talented students have learned the technique of giving a chalk talk. When the school needs help to advertise different affairs, the art club is always there to give a helping hand by making posters and other advertisements. The club has its own officers who are: president, Robert Mitchell; vice-president, Vern Horton; secretary, Marjorie Rogers; and treasurer, Eorl Cargnie. The entire school enjoys the creations of the art club of Athens High School. 77 DRAMATICS SOUND EFFECTS DRAMATICS MAKE-UP M. Tremain, R. Hurd, R. Hadlock, G. Depew, Mrs. Volechenisky, D. Scudder, A.

It was started last year in junior high school and has done a great deal to increase the interest in dramatics. This, as well as to gain experience, is one of the main purposes of the club. The club is of great value to the students as it rids them of stage fright, improves their stage presence and teaches them the qualities of a good speaking voice. These groups present assembly progroms which are greatly enjoyed by the student body. The groups in junior high school are seventh thru ninth grades. Senior high has two study hall groups and one group which meets at noon. The members of two or three groups are learning about sound effects and radio script. One branch of Dramatics Club is a make-up class in which the girls learn the fundamentals of applying theatrical make-up and how to make people look different ages. Earlier this year the Dramatics Club was entertained by Mr. Carey Wilson, a movie producer. Mr. Wilson came to Athens along with Paula Raymond, the movie star. They were with the “Movietime U. S. A. Caravan”. The United Nations assembly was presented this year by Dramatics Club with a game, dance, song or poem from the various countries in the United Nations. Under the able supervisor of Mrs. Michael Volechenisky the club has produced a few plays learning the fundamentals of stage setting, and the vocabulary used in giving stage directions. The students in the seventh and eighth grades who join the Dramatics Club have gained enough experience by the time they reach eleventh and twelfth grades so that they have a very good chance of getting into the casts of the junior and senior plays. Yes, the club offers a great deal to the students as well as enjoyment for their classmates. 78 ant AAr HENRY ALDRICH PLAY Standing: B. Mitchell, S. Northrop, K. Parke, J. Roberts. Seated: L.

PIGSKIN CHASERS The Pigskin Chasers” organization is one of the oldest and most distinguished clubs in the Club Car. The Pigskin Chasers” which corresponds to the varsity lettermen’s club, was founded in 1920. The idea behind the club was to encourage the boys to keep training rules and to promote better school spirit. When the club was first organized, any person who participated in sports—football, basketball, baseball, or track—and received a letter was eligible to join. Any letterman or manager was able to join since there was no initiation. The club as it stands today has changed little from the original one. An initiation has been added which lasts one day. That is when the members are put to the test” by the old members. By the end of that day all the candidates are thoroughly worn out. The club is still only for lettermen and managers who prove themselves worthy. The club sells souvenir football programs and sponsors various activities to raise money for their sweaters and the charms presented to senior members of the club There have been three new additions to the club this year. One is in the form of a trophy presented to the Pigskin Chasers by the old members of the organization. This trophy will remain in permanent possession of the school. The other two additions to the club are Mr. Robert Martin, faculty manager and Mr. Thomas Jones, assistant football coach. These two gentlemen have been made honorary members of the club and will be presented the charms, that are given to seniors, at the end of the year. The club under the sponsorship of John Childs proves it has fine leaders by electing Jim McNeil, president; Bob Ryder, vice-president; Elwin Fraley, secretary; Lou Corl, treasurer; and Jack Storilli, sergeant-at-arms. We in the school are proud of our find Athletes and the club to which they belong. 80 Rack rnui - - left to right: Mr. Jones, L. Ford, L. Selleck, G. Orsholl, F. Scrivens, R. Wilcox, L. Pond, R.

BOYS’ ATHLETIC CLUB The Junior-High Athletic Education Club is a definite asset to the Athletic program of Athens High School. This club is open to both boys and girls of seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. This is considered a good basic foundation for those who would like to participate in Varsity Athletics when they reach Senior High. Our athletes such as John Farr, Robert Perry, Dick Johnston, Franklin Rogers, and many others were members of this club prior to playing varsity sports. The purpose of the club is to become sportsmanlike spectators as well as potential athletes. The club sponsor, Thomas Jones, is a well informed person on the rules of various sports. His many years as football judge, baseball umpire, basketball referee, and coach have made him well suited for this position. As we travel through the club car we find a typical club meeting under way. A diagram of some average game will be on the black board and Mr. Jones will be explaining the situation. After many members give their opinions, and their explanations of the rules that might apply, he tells them the correct way the play should be called and why the official interprets it that way. The aim of this club is also to be more lenient with the officials. The Athletic Education Club helps the players who participate in strong athletic competition to better understand the rules because it has been said that one who understands the rules best plays the best game. There has been a steady increase in sportsmanship since the founding of this new club because better knowledge of the rules of the game will bring about the appreciation of sports. When these objectives are accomplished, they are carried onto others by the alert athletes which this club produces. EIGHTH VARIETY CLUB hirst row - - Left to right: D. Richards, C. Lupton, M.

CRAFT CLUB The Craft Club under the direction of Mr. Riker, is one of the most popular junior high clubs on board the Athens Express. It is a fairly new organization, having been founded just three years ago. Mr. Riker, who is the new vocational arts instructor, tutors an all male group in the tricks of carpentry and woodworking—providing practical knowledge and experience for those who may take up this field as a profession. Most of the enthusiastic club members are taking shop as a regular subject and are now utilizing this opportunity to add to their skill and craftsmanship. At the regular club meetings power tools, including a lathe and several band saws are available to the boys along with the regular shop hard tools. Each member selects his own private project—anything from bookends to lawn chairs—from the large file of woodworking material and goes to work with mechanical drawing in hand. Should any slight diffi- culty arise in sanding or varnishing, Mr. Riker is ready with a friendly word of advice. Gradually after a few periods of hard work, glistening lamps, serving trays, bird houses, and other knick-knacks begin to appear on the shelves. Some of the finished articles carefully completed by the Craft Club members were shown at the school exhibit last year. But wood is definitely not the exclusive raw material used by these eager boys, since some have done work in metals such as copper and aluminum. They usually turn out metal ash trays and similar articles, or work copper into relief designs through the use of molds. Such a variety of materials lends space to the work, and it is hoped that plastics will be available in the very near future. The Craft Club members have already turned out some fine woodworking and they may well be proud of their accomplishments. 83 y 0,mrrrL ocuf SR. HIGH CHORUS Top row: F. Davis, B. Ba iley, E. Cole, J.

There have also been grouped nine girls, forming the Triple Trio. In the Boys’ Chorus, of which Mr. Bresee is director, three-port music is sung. These parts are tenor, second tenor, ond base. This club is a fairly recent addition to Athens Hiljh. The members have certainly proven their fine musical ability, having sung in assemblies, broadcasts, and special programs. When you hear the strains of Alma Mater” as we go on the air Thursday mornings, you are listening to the voices of twenty-nine boys, an excellent example of true harmony. The club is composed of boys from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The original plan was to have an octet, but so many were interested that Mr. Bresee decided to have a full chorus. Similar to the Boys’ Chorus, yet different in its own natural way, is the Senior High Girls' Chorus, formed of girls from tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Parts sung by these girls, who meet every Wednesday, eighth period, are soprano, second soprano, and alto. Under the able direction of Miss Wood, the Girls’ Chorus has appeared in various school functions, always meeting with the approval of interested listeners. Girls’ and Boys’ Choruses combine to form the Mixed Chorus, which takes a prominent position in school affairs. Examples on the busy schedule of this club are the Spring Music Festival and Commencement. Miss Wood directs. Another, equally active, musical organization is the Triple Trio, o group of Senior High School girls singing soprano, second soprano, and alto. This club not only appears in school programs, but is often asked to sing at activities outside of school. Miss Wood is the director. Accompanists are Dolores Scrivens and Doris Palmer. 86 ovjt BOYS CHORUS Top row-- Left to right: L. Munn, M. Lambert, S. Rumpff. First row: pianist D. Palmer, E. Rhoads, D. Scrivens, M. Rhoads, E.

THE ATHENS HIGH SCHOOL The Athens High School Band, one of the best in the school’s history, opened the 1951-52 season under the direction of their new leader, Ernest K. Ralston. Exhibiting their handsome royal blue and white uniforms for the first time the band members put on a sparkling performance at the football season opener with Muncy. The marching unit, consisting of fifty members, attended all of the games and provided music to cheer the team onto victory. Some of the most outstanding performances were at the Sayre, Waverly, and Towanda games. Saturday, November tenth, the band journeyed to Elmira where it had the privilege of watching an exhibition held by the famous University of Michigan Marching Band. Mr. Ralston, the director of the Athens appregation is a graduate of Michigan University and a former member of the band. The band, one of the oldest organizations to be found on the club coach was organized in 1937 by Dante Coccagnia. It has been one of the most active institutions of the school. Athens had a fifty piece band, when other valley organizations were small. It was the first in the valley to have a full uniform all of which were alike. The annual concert, held in the spring provides the opportunity to display talents and showmanship. The spring music festival also enables the group to provide a superb entertainment. The band is constantly in demand to play at special assemblies and radio broadcasts over WATS. Our master musicians attended County Band. It takes part in various parades and other activities held throughout the year in this vicinity. Several of the outstanding players are divided into groups called ensembles and play for various organizations and clubs in Athens and for the Junior and Senior plays. This organization has done an outstanding job in representing our school this past year. With the new leader, there is no limit to its further improvement. Back row: A. Gergel, S. Platt, D. Platt, D.

Under the guidance of Mr. Rolston, our new director the orchestra’s quality of music has improved. The instrumentation has increased with and several other instruments. These contribute immensely to the quality of the music. The Orchestra is in demand, often, to play at Junior and Senior High assemblies. It plays an important role in the annual Spring Music Festival under the direction of Miss Emma Wood and Mr. Ernest Rolston. At commencement the members of the orchestra gives the Seniors a last glimpse of the musical life of their school. It is often in demand, also to play in radio broadcasts over WATS. One of the most important undertaking is to play at the Junior and Senior Plays. Mr. Frandell does much of the work behind the scenes on the violins, base viol and cello. The type of music played by this organization is aimed to please all types of music lovers. The purpose of the orchestra is to stimulate a growing interest in music. This is maintained by the fact that many students take a wide interest in its activities. Members of our orchestra represented us at the Bradford County Music Festival. The instrumentation of the orchestra is as follows: Piano - Doris Palmer Violins - Mary Ellen Coveney, Elwood Cole, Peggy Lynch, Marsha Hammond, Shirley Vander-pool, Bill Symons, Angeline Coveney, Dawn Platt, Annette Gergel, Marilyn Wheeler, Juel Goodman. Clarinets - George Havens, Dick Jones, Peggy Cartwright, Ellen Lynch, Judy Lynch. Oboe - Scott Mitchell Saxophones - Roland Hannon, Timothy Brennan, Don Von Wolffradt.

Among these are the General Chorus and Serenaders, both musical organizations. The General Chorus, under the able leadership of Miss Wood, is composed of both boys and girls, from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. During the noon activity period on Tuesday, the beautiful strains of youthful voices can be heard coming from the auditorium.. This is the chorus, in their weekly rehearsal. They sing three--part music, soprano, alto, and baritone, and are often called upon to sing in assemblies. Everyone in junior high school knows the value of this club, since it is a preparation for further choral work in Senior High School. In Senior High, the followups of General Chorus are the Girls' Chorus, Boys’ Chorus, and Mixed Chorus. Some of the girls are also in the Triple Trio eventually. Another musical club in this section is the Serenaders, and indeed thar is a suitable title for these girls from seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. They were picked according to musical ability by Miss Wood, who is the director, and sing three —part music — soprano, second soprano, and alto. Shortly after these girls were chosen, in early October, they decided to have a standard way of dressing, so they would be more of a formed club. The dress decided upon was a dark skirt, white blouse, and white ankle socks. Often these girls are called upon to sing for assemblies and other school activities during the school year. Aside from school, many organizations, such as the Eastern Star, have asked to have the Serenaders present a program. These programs are always very well received, and the Serenaders have achieved for themselves, throughout the valley, recognition of superior ability in the field of music, through their showmanship of true harmony. mumjc.

Under the guidance of John Childs the team completed one of the first undefeated, untied seasons in the school’s history. In winning nine straight, the “Bulldogs” amassed an almost unbelievable total of three hundred twenty points while limiting their opponents to a two and seven tenths points per game average. Certainly this is a record that will be hard to equal in the future. As a final tribute to a great season the outstanding ability of the team members was reflected in the selection of the All-Valley and All-Scholastic teams. Athens was well represented on both. Although the Bulldogs” of fifty one had a very successful season, they hope they gave to the school more than a nine won, none lost record. They hope they have established a winning, fighting spirit that will be carried on in the school not only in Athletics but in all activities. 94 John Hunt Manager Pete Steele End P Jim McNeil Guard Athens • 31 - 27 - 33 - 41 - 25 - 33 - 57 - 57 • 14 Dick Johnston End Bill Orshall Back FOOTBALL Kenneth Kitchen Tackle Dick Jackson Back Muncy - 0 T unkhannock - 0 Towonda - 0 Canton - 6 Sayre - 0 Watkins Glenn - 0 Owego -12 Troy - 0 Waverly - 7 Rollie Hannon Back .

FOOTBALL This year in addition to the regular varsity football squad, Athens had a junior varsity team made up of freshmen and sophomores. Coach Tom Jones was in charge of the boys, many of them newcomers who were getting their first taste of football. With the initial workouts, Coach Jones started his boys learning the fundamentals--blocking, tackling, running, kicking, and passing. Throughout the rest of the grid season, these boys learned valuable lessons in the art and science of football--lessons that will help mold successful grid teams in future years at A. H. S. Coach Jones’ boys played a short schedule of three games with local schools, winning one and losing two. Perhaps more important than the fact that the Jayvee team enjoyed a fairly successful season is, once again, the lessons learned for the future. In their first game, played against the Towanda Valley juniors, the Jayvees won impressively 27-0. Lessons learned in practice were used to good advantage as Athens dominated play throughout, scoring four times with Earl Carney as the spearhead. As it turned out, the Towanda contest was the only game Coach Jones had his best eleven in the lineup. Several backfield men played a few minutes in a varsity game with Canton and were declared in-elegible for Jayvee games. Athens lost a heartbreaker to Waverly, 14-7, in their second game, succumbing to a last quarter pass play by the little Wolverines. The game was tied 7-7 up until the fourth quarter when Waverly marched downfield for the clinching T. D. In their third and final game, the Jayvees lost another close one 18-14 to Towanda on the Athens field. The little Bulldogs, hampered by the loss of their key player, faltered in the last half after leading 14-0. 96 Mmx a 1. What's up, Lois? 2. Ginny 3. Waverly gome - We won! 4. Mr. Touchdown 5.

The squad comprised mostly of members of an undefeated football team, won the league championship and represented Athens well in the state playoffs. The quintet was well coached and smooth working.

VARSITY CHEERLEADERS The most active members to be found in the club are the cheerleaders. Six girls from Senior High School, two from each grade, fill this position. They begin preparing for the season in September. Because of the football team's record-making season this particular year, they were the most envied girls in the school. The beginning of the season brought a few changes in the uniforms. To replace the uniform of previous years (the jumper and blouse style), the girls sent away for white wool long-sleeved sweaters. Skirts appeared when the jumper straps were made into dickies. After wearing these dickies once, the girls decided that they weren’t too successful for their purpose. So the girls purchased blue neck-scarfs to replace them. In addition to the above mentioned articles, the cheerleaders wore black and white saddle shoes and blue beanies with a large A on the brim. In accordance with the new school system con- cerning club meetings, a special day was set aside each week for the cheerleaders to have a practice session. As we have been shown, the cheerleaders took every advantage offered to make use of this period. Before long, at our first pep-meeting, we noticed some new motions and cheers. Some of the cheers introduced throughout the year were ''Bulldogs”, the crowd cheer , beat ’em”, and extra”. Cheers that were revised included: who you gonna yell for”, “your pep”, and go bulldogs”. This year a change was made in these girl's jumps. For the first time they began to use the jump with the arms spread in a wing-like fashion. For basketball they switched back to traditional jump. Basketball being an indoor sport, the cheerleaders realized that their sweaters would definitely be too worm to cheer in. They purchased white sport blouses. This was the only change for the rest of the season. Yes, the cheerleaders certainly have been active this year! 100 Left to right: D. Gordner, V. Babcock, J. Canfield, S. Hugo, M. Cohen. JAY VEE CHEERLEADERS With the graduation of all the Jay Vee cheerleaders into Senior High School from last year the need arose to pick some girls to replace them. Shortly after football season came to an end the Varsity cheerleaders asked all ninth grade girls who had a desire to become a Jay Vee Cheerleader to register their name with the captain of the cheering squad. In the course of trying for cheerleader comes a lot of hard work. First an applicant practices with a Varsity cheerleader to learn motions, cheers, and jumps. After learning how to do the difficult motions comes the need to strive for perfection. Perfection includes pep, grace, and manner in which the cheers assigned are done. This practice lasts for twoor three weeks. During this time the girls with exceptionally good qualities begin to appear. Throughout the practice time each girl works faithfully and strenuously at every opportunity. This year the girls were picked during the Junior High noon hour. Judges were Mrs. Jones and the Varsity cheerleaders. This years Jay Vee Cheerleaders were Marilyn Cohen, Sylvia Hugo, Judy Canfield, Viola Babcock, and Lucille Gardner. Maybe next year two of these girls will further their cheering career by becoming Varsity cheerleaders. For uniforms the girls wore blue jumpers and white pique blouses. The uniforms look very nice and attracted much attention. In a few of their cheers gymnastic abilities were brought into view. Judy Canfield and Viola Babcock were very adept at doing cart-wheels and splits. Because the girls are only allowed to use a few of the same cheers that the Varsity use they make up a great number of their own. Some of the Jay Vee originals include “Say What and “Dribble Down the Sideline. They used revision tactics with “Your Pep and T-E-A-M.” Surely these girls have done a splendid job this year. 101 BASEBALL STANDING—D. Preston, G. Whyte, C. Beers, B. Carpenter, H. Regn, P.

In 1951 the team won five and lost five, or won fifty per cent of the games played. Tne double wins over Sayre and Towanda highlighted the season. The picture of the team was not taken last spring as it usually is, but was taken this year in the fall; therefore tne following players do not appear in tne picture because they graduated or failed to return to school: Don Molyneaux L. F., Bob ‘Corley S.S., Bill Gowan C. F., Jim DeFrahn 3b, Eddie Zacharias 2b, Eddie Drew S. $., “Clip Kreamer 3b, and Dare Fice, manager. The schedule for the 1951 season with the scores for the games is as follows: Athens 15 Sayre 5 away Athens 2 Wyalusing 4 home Athens 0 Troy 8 home Athens 23 Canton 3 home Athens 5 Sayre 2 home Athens 5 Towanda 4 away Athens 2 Wyalusing 15 a way Athens 3 Troy 4 away (night) Athens 1 Canton 10 away Athens 9 Towanda 3 home The game with Waverly was rained out late in the season and could not be played before school was out. 102 GIRLS TUMBLING TEAM BACK ROW—H.

GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ TUMBLING TEAMS The girls tumbling team, on board the A. H. S. express, is under the direction of Mrs. Jones, girls’ physical education instructor. About fifteen junior and senior high girls regularly cavort about on the mats during club period, performing head stands, forward and backward somersaults, elephant walks, and other elementary gymnastic stunts. The girl tumblers, who perform at intermission of junior varsity games, are also quite well known for their spectacular pyramid building. Mr. Oakes' ten boy tumblers perform more difficult stunts, after using the springboard and Spanish box for vaults, flying hand springs and forwards or backward flips. At halftime of one of the varsity basketball games, the senior boys’ tumbling outfit, dressed up as clowns and put on a hilarious exhibition of comic tumbling. Complete with “Barty Rooster as a mascot, outlandish costume, and grotesque rubber masks, the five clowns put on a borejarring exhibition of how not to tumble, mingled with a few well executed stunts. Later on in the basketball season, the boys’ tumbling team puts on other exhibitions of their gymnastic skill and again earned the plaudits of the crowd. If the boys’ tumbling team is to continue next year, however, it will need some new blood, since five of the tumblers are seniors. BOYS’ TUMBLING TEAM STANDING-H. Eik., G. Tolladoy, E.

WRESTLING CLUB The Wrestling Club, newly formed this year under the capable direction of Coach Childs, provides a chance for boys interested in wrestling to exhibit their skills. The club is. very popular in senior high school with about thirty boys taking an active part in the club’s functions. The club exists, in the most part, for a purely recreational purpose. The boys who belong to it belong because they have fun doing something they want to do--wrestle. The type of wrestling these boys do is not the so called, “grunt-and groan” type which you hear so much about in connection with professional wrestling, where the main object is to please the crowd. The type of wrestling these boys do is good, clean, honest-to-goodness wrestling for the sheer fun of it. This was proven by some of the excellent performances the boys put on at half time of some of our basketball games. If you were to walk into one of the club meetings, I am afraid that you would not think it was a club at all —at least from watching the proceedings. You would see a group of boys gathered around the mat, urging on two members who are working out on the mat. Coach Childs is frequently on the mat himself, showing the boys some of the fundamental holds and grips. Then the boys get a chance to try out these holds and others they have made up themselves on each other. Usually these holds that the boys have made up themselves are not as good as the originator thought they were, but needless to say, the boys consider it great sport to experiment with different holds —trying to find one all their own. The club has no officers. Each boy presides over the meeting while he is working on the mat. The others are all watching him, trying to learn how to avoid the same mistakes he makes. So, if it’s all for fun, who cares if his head is a little sore, or that his back's lame, or that those darn mat burns are good and sore. Just ask a member, he’ll tell you, “Sure it’s fun.” 104 Standing: Coach Child , J. Farr, W. Orshal, K. Kitchen, A. Payne, W. Depew, W. Thompson, n. Mommond, R. Crandall, L. Carl, R. Johnston, R.

TRACK In 1951, for the first time in over a decade, Athens High School fielded a track team for interscholastic competition. It was surely a team for the school to be proud of. Boys quickly and enthusiastically answered the call for material. The team was formed and quickly proved that they were a team to be reckoned with by defeating Waverly once, Owego twice, Mansfield once, and Horseheads once; tying Waverly in a return meet, and losing only to Elmira Free Academy and Williamsport. The District Four meet was held here at Athens, the Bulldogs emerging as the District Four champs by defeating Elkland, Wellsboro, and Mansfield in a four way meet. Our strongest and most consistent winners were then entered in the state meet at the Pennsylvania State College, where they were up against very keen competition. Here the boys had an opportunity to compete against the best athletes in the state. Although winning no events, the boys who attended the meet profited greatly because they had this chance to see what other athletes throughout the state were doing. One of the contributing factors to the return of a track team was our new athletic field. Before the field was built we had had limited space even for our annual intra-mural meet. The new field brought with it not only a fine cinder track, but plenty of room for the many field events. Yes, Athens High School had o team to be proud of because it worked as a team. Although track does not depend upon teamwork as much as some other sports the team worked together. No one man was outstanding in any particular event because there was good material in all events. The 1952 track team, with nearly every man back with a year of experience behind him, should be even better than the 1951 team. Good material, a good coach, student support, and a desire to win are the key ingredients for producing a winner. 105 ATION CAR LLhC ENGLISH English is the most essential subject taught. It is your speech, your way of writing, your way of communicating, and your method of carrying on conversation. When a student first takes English in the grades as a subject, he learns just the bare fundamentals along with much spelling. As he progresses toward the front of the train and comes closer to the coveted Senior Pullman he begins to learn the technical points. The nearer he approaches the Pullman, the more his knowledge increases. Literature is a branch of English taught along with the essentials in writing and speaking. In literature one learns to appreciate the masterpieces written by famous authors. Literature also develops an interest within an individual to read more and it helps to make him understand better the value of the great artists. Spelling and writing fall together simultaneously, for a person can not write if he cannot spell. The course teaches the right use of words and sentences in the construction of a smooth running paragraph. A good English background is intrinsic for advancement in the world of today and tomorrow. Athens High School is doing everything possible to supply the students with the background which they need. 108 SOCIAL STUDIES Most scenic or historic spots the world ore reached by mod-rn transportation, ond the A.H.S. Railroad, because of its location n scenic and historic Pennsylvania, has a well rounded course of Social Studies aboard. Man has always kept a record of the past-even the pre-historic cave man drew pictures of his great deeds upon the walls of his cave home. The children of Athens begin to learn about the past and the history of their country in the third and fourth grades. When they reach the fifth and sixth grades, the students have established a basic foundation on which they will continue to build in the coming years. The seventh and eighth grades further introduce the pupil to world geography and geography of the United States; history is also divided into European his- tory, ancient history, and history of the United States and Canada. Their state and government of the nation become familiar acquaintances of the ninth graders through the use of civics and Pennsylvania history. The final step in the prepara-1 tion of good citizens is the study I of democratic problems. Figuring I prominently in these classes are 1 current events. At last after twelve 1 years of Social Studies, the Sen-1 iors are about to record their his-1 tory in books, pictures, folk-lore, ■ and advancement for the good of I man-kind. 109 Jud Ku (wnculW adwduA MATH Math is one of the most important subjects taught on the A.H.S. train. In the elementary grades it is classified as arithmetic. The fundamentals of greater things to come are taught to the students. Addition and subtraction make way for multiplication and division. Then decimals and fractions ore added for variety. When the students pass along through the elementary train cars into junior high school they are being prepared to undertake the higher mathematics offered as electives in senior high school. Then they come against Algebra, business arithmetic, plane geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry and the math connected with physics. In senior high school there are tireless days of algebra. Factoring bonomial theocemo, logarithms, and quadratic equations taking most of the time. Algebra is the foundation for plane and solid geometry and trigonometry. Business arithmetic, in general, is a review of the previous math the student has completed along with the application and division into practical uses of business. Physics has to deal with the use of equation to transform energy and heat into power for use of equation to transform energy and other devices. Some of these higher mathematics should be compulsory for any student who plans to go away to college for more education. This is especially true for future engineers, doctors, and lawyers. MO SCIENCE IN ATHENS HIGH A well rounded science program has always been a big port of the high school subject matter. Mr. Pruyne and Mr. Benson do an unmatched job of teaching the five science courses. Mr. Pruyne teaches chemistry, physics, and vocational science to senior high students, while Mr. Benson schools freshmen and sophomores in general science and biology. Chemistrydeals with the changes of matter. Many students don't know what water is composed of or how soap is made before entering class but they are soon rattling off formulaslike any professional. They find chemistry is very enlightening. Every boy and girl wonders why a baseball curves or a magnet attracts iron. Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the laws of nature, with the subjects of light, sound, electricity, and mechanics. Many students who take the vocational curriculum take vocational science, an advanced general science course. Every student became acquainted with the nature of plants and animals in grammar school. In high school an opportunity is given each student to explore for himself numerous branches of science. All freshmen take the general science course which acquaints them with the hows and whys of science. General science is really a preparatory course for chemistry, biology, and physics. Biology, an elective, is taken by a large number of pupils. It deals with the study of plant and animal life. Ill UVYl LATIN The first year of Latin is devoted to the learning of rules, vocabulary, case endings, and conjugation of verbs. The second year all these things are put into practice by translating lessons from the textbook. Time also is devoted to the reading of several Roman authors. At the end of each unit reports are given on different items of interest. So for this year Roman homes, clothing, celebrations, education, and Roman travels have been discussed. SPANISH Spanish students begin their study of Spanish with the use of two books. One book contains histories of different Spanish men and the other consists mainly of vocabulary exercises and drills. This year the students begin corresponding with young people from some of the Latin American countries. (Puerto Rico, Cuba) Throughout the year special reports on sports, customs, and dress of the various South American countries were made. Spanish is the only language spoken during the class periods. LIBRARY The library offers a vast amount of information to aid the inquiring students how to fill out library cards. For the first and second grades the librarian holds story hours. Miss Wrisley has introduced the student how to find information for himself by using the file cabinets and reference books. 112 ART AND MUSIC One of the most interesting classes in Athens High School is the Art Class. This is a part time subject under the direction of Miss Martha Myers. Students who participate in these classes learn to use water colors, to sculpture with modelling clay, to make pasted and chorcoal drawings, to use oil paints properly, to understand the use of colors such as: the stanclavel and primary colors, and to design for themselves ideas for school and everyday clothing. Also, the class has learned to cut designs on pieces of wood blocks, then to transfer them to paper, thus creating interesting pictures. Another enjoyable feature of the art class is learning how to make stencils with their initials and other designs. Sometimes people from the outside, such as club organizations or the faculty, will want certain articles made for them and the art class gladly obliges. Some of these articles may be posters, place cards, or drawings. Many of the students' color and chalk drawings have been displayed in the corridors and on bulletin boards, giving other students an idea of what is done in art class. Music education, a vital part of both our curricular and extra curricular activities, is taught by Miss Emma Wood. The training begins in kindergarten and ends in ninth grade. An extensive field is covered by Miss Wood. The composers and their compositions are studied, bulletin board displays are made and many songs are broken down and studied according to their composition. The musical instruments are identified and many of them are actually shown to the students. 113 COMMERCIAL COURSE Many more students are taking commercial courses today than ever before. The commercial course is especially important to students after graduation. Mr. Martin ond Mrs. Scrivens are the two instructors in this course. The course includes general business training, personal typing, commercial law, business arithmetic, bookkeeping, typing, and shorthand. In addition to these subjects, trips through business establishments are taken by the different classes. Discussions on the correct business attitudes, proper business dress, and application of simple rules of etiquette in business keep these classes from being at all dull. The subjects taught by Mr. Martin, whose classes meet in room 203, are business arithmetic, commercial law, and bookkeeping. The operation of the calculators, adding machines, and bookkeeping machine is also taught by Martin. In room 216 Mrs. Scrivens' classes are general business training, personal typing, shorthand, and typing. Mrs. Scrivens also teaches the operation of the ditto and mimeograph machines and filing procedure. Students from the commercial course are given practical business training in the main and high school offices. The senior students devote one day a week to typing material for different teachers. The instructors of the commercial course deserve the admiration of the A. H.S. Railroad for their excellent work. 114 wm M7YUL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION One of the most helpful courses you will find in high school is the health and physical education course. The two instructors, Mrs. Jones and Mr. Oakes, are very capable in making this course beneficial. Mr. Oakes has gym and health classes for boys from the 7th grade to the 12th grade. In his health classes the boys study the structure of the body. In gym classes the boys learn techniques and arts of playing basketball, baseball, horse shoes, volleyball, and ping pong. During the eighth period and after school there are intramural games for the boys. Mrs. Jones teaches gym from 7th to 12th grades and health from 7th to 9th and in the 12th year for girls. In her health classes the girls learn neatness, correct foods, structure and care of teeth and ears, and safeguards to the well-being of a community. A course in First Aid teaching girls what to do in emergencies is also given at the beginning of the year. The girls ploy hockey and volleyball. Then comes basketball, d a n c i n g (ro und and square), badminton, ping pong, tumbling, soft-ball, and kick-ball. At the end of the year prizes are given to the individuals who are winners in intramural sports and to those who have demonstrated abilities to use the knowledge taught them. 115 aaA cP. Y JJLm, HOME ECONOMICS COURSE Tomorrow's homemakers receive their training under the able supervision of Mrs. Clark and Miss Pomeroy. Mrs. Clark has been teaching at Athens for several years. Miss Pomeroy came to Athens this year. The home economics course is important to all students. For the first time this course includes a class of junior boys. The course includes junior high school home economics, advanced home economics, related art, and family relations. The classes meet in the home economics rooms which are attractively furnished and always immaculate. One half of the junior high home economics school year is spent in sewing, discussing child care, planning well-balanced meals, and many other subjects valuable in the preparation for efficient homemakers. The remainder of the school year is devoted to cooking. The advanced classes include food budgeting in their studies, otherwise the classes are much like junior high home economics. Related art and family relations help to round out the course of study for advanced home economics students. The class for junior boys is primarily a course in cooking and the boys are becoming accomplished chefs. The boys have a-prons and caps which they wear proudly. Mrs. Clark and Miss Pomeroy, noted for their patience and understanding, will long be remembered by the home economics students. 116 AGRICULTURE jun What goes into the making of a “Future Farmer ? Mr. Van Sco-ten plans his ag. course to cover the needs of the boys who will some day be running an efficient farm. Beginning with poultry and vegetable gardening, through dairying, farm crops, farm management and forestry, the course shows the boys the headaches and rewards of farm life. Each student is required to select a special outside project. Such tasks as raising calves, chickens, pigs, and turkeys, as well as keeping dairy records and raising various crops have been undertaken by the boys. The two chief highlights of each year ore trips to the Bloomsburg Fair and the Harrisburg Farm Show, but, occasionally the boys journey to different towns to compete in poultry and cattle judging. SHOP Shop, this year has taken on a new ond capable leader--Mr. Ri-ker. Under his leadership boys have made many attractive, as well os, useful objects. The course includes woodworking, electrical instruction, and metal design and is required for all junior high boys, as well as being open as an elective to senior high boys. The boys in senior high spend from one to two periods a day making gun cases, lamps, foot stools and other objects. All in all, the class is an asset to any boy in whatever occupation he may choose. 117 LEFT TO RIGHT—Mrs. Kn«cht, Mrs. Hammond, Mrs. Johnston. CAFETERIA Two years ago, despite some opposition, the Athens High School Cafeteria came into existence. Now the cafeteria is functioning very well, and everyone thoroughly enjoys the fine meals served. There are certain requirements of the state of Pennsylvania which must be met by the cafeteria staff. These requirements are met by arranging all meals according to state standards. Recently, plans have been completed whereas there is a choice of four or five side dishes, aside from the regular meal. Some of these are: salad, soup, doughnuts and rolls, and ice cream. Mrs. Charles Hammond, a Home Economics graduate of Cornell University, is the able director of the cafeteria. Other staff members are: Mrs. Leslie Johnston, Mrs. Stanley Knecht, Mrs. Roy Parke, and Mrs. Joseph Zulkosky. Students from various grades assist in the preparation of food, take care of trays, wash dishes, etc. A suggestion box has been placed at the entrance for students’ ideas on foods. For conveniences, and to avoid a crowded dining room, school officials have divided the noon hour into two separate sections. At 11:55 to 12:15 to be spent by various activities in Junior High School, while Senior High students ore eating their lunch. Then, when, at 12:15, the senior students are dismissed, grades 7 through 9 go to the cafeteria,and senior high students to activities. Some of these activities are: dancing, or ping-pong in the gymnasium, clubs, or there is an available study hall for those who want to be in a quiet atmosphere. All in all, most students ond outsiders must agree that Athens High School is very proud of its cafeteria! 118 The work of Charles Thorp, Mrs. Anna Van Duzer, and Ernest Thorp is endless. This janitorial staff begins its day by starting boilers at four a.m. on cold mornings. Throughout the day they do miscellaneous tasks, but the real job comes after the evening dismissal. About three o’clock the boilers are banked and school is closed at three twenty-two. Then the custodians sweep and dust the entire building. During the summer this group paints, scrubs,oils floors, varnishes, and does n umerous other things. One will also find Charlie and Ernie lending a helping hand in decorating the gym for dances and cleaning up after many school affairs. To these three go the thanks and appreciation of the passengers and crew of the A. H. S. Railroad. r MAINTENANCE Mrs. Anna Van Duzer 119 4 Compliments w C0MK� � ASNT5 of tmf JktLni nmac Ipiloh. pi hKKtuis jyreicnpTioh. jj 3c.St 3%-Hen, Prka«. COnPLIMENTS Of BOCKMANS SAyPf, PA.
