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 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
