The Athenian 1925 Faculty Progress! Enthusiasm! Sincerity! Friendliness! Knowledge! And you ask where we get these things? The answer is simple enough. From our Athens Community High School faculty. And yet, in that answer so simple, is implied a feeling of understanding and a debt of gratitude. Where could we find a better personality, a better coach, a better teacher or a better principal than we have represented in our leader, Mr. H. V. Porter? Always willing to help one out of difficulties, and always ready to promote the interests of Athens Community High School in order that it may ever grow “Bigger and Better.” And then we come to our old standby, Mr. Augspurger, or perhaps we should say, “Happy.” It is from his profound stock of knowledge that he unravels the mysteries of science. The leader of our band, the group that puts pep and determination into our team and hence makes possible that long list of victories. We wonder where those deft lingered steno’s come from. To satisfy our inquiries, we look in Room two and catch a glimpse of that exceptionally pleasant individual, rightly named “Delight,” the student’s friend. Miss Jones, our patient instructor in Ancient, American, and Modern History has unfolded to us all the miracles of the past and present. However, she does not stop here, she explains the all-conquering Caesar and the civic government of our town, state, and nation. The Glee Clubs, and French and English classes would find themselves in a critical condition if that stylish little individual failed to show up some day. In Miss Fberspacher, we have a friend, always willing to help some one find a suitable song or always ready to aid someone in his French translation. Athens certainly had good choice when they chose Miss Stansell as their Household Art teacher. We need but visit the sewing room once in a while if we would he fully convinced that her pupils are becoming expert dressmakers. From the delicious odors that escape through the kitchen door we know that no banquet or reception at Athens Community High School could ever go wrong. As one of the directors of the Girls’ Athletic Association, she has helped make it a good organization. And now we come to our talented English teacher. Miss Drinkwater. It is through her careful explanations that the various classes expound the tragedies of Shakespeare and the beauties of other writers. In all school activities she lends her enthusiastic efforts. No program is complete without some of her numbers. To he in her classes is a privilege. One has the feeling that the chance to recite in her class is something of a favor instead of a request. Miss Ercel Falkins, mathematics teacher, public speaking director, play coach, girls’ athletic leader, pageant originator, pep meeting advisor, and exponent of all that has promoted progress in Athens Community High School, is leaving after four years of extraordinary service. Her pageant of Athens Community High School progress, her loyalty song, “Onward Athens,” her many beautiful folk drills given at athletic celebrations or literary programs, her girls' athletic association, the many elaborate original stunts she directed for tournaments or special occasions—these will live long in our memory. They are classics. They are built into Athens Community High School traditions, and as such they will influence the school for many years to come. From her we have imbibed some of the enthusiasm for the works of Edgar Guest, some of her love of the beautiful, some of her energy in outdoor sports, some of her vision, her pleasant disposition, her leadership. Next year she will attend college to take advanced work in her chosen field, and fortunate indeed will he the school in which she enrolls. Page 7
